Well be talking about Severe Weather there, talk in the nations weather. For now, back to robin. Okay, ginger. Good to have you back from chicago with us. The shocking video thats rocking the nfl. Were learning more about the footage showing star running back, ray rice, knocking out his thengirlfriend, now wife, in an elevator earlier this year. The Baltimore Ravens terminated his contract. And the nfl suspended him indefinitely. Ryan smith here with the latest. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning, robin. Less than two years ago, ray rice was a super bowl champion. Now, his ravens jersey no longer for sale at the nfl store. He lost an endorsement deal and others are in jeopardy. Revealing a video, on his brutal attack on his nowwife in a Hotel Elevator. This is the shocking video that got star running back ray rice sacked by the Baltimore Ravens and suspended indefinitely from the nfl. Rice, seen entering an Atlantic City Hotel Elevator in february, with his thenfiance, janay. Appearing to strike her once. Then again. Seemingly punching her so hard, she hits a railing, knocking her out. The Associated Press saw a version of the surveillance tape and reports, the two can be heard yelling obscenities at one another. And janay is seen spitting on rice. The ravens firing rice, after tmz released the video on monday. When someone that you care about does wrong, you know, and is faced with the consequences of doing wrong, and rightfully so, it is tough. It is hurtful. It was hard for all of us to see. As bad as it is, have to stick by him for a person. Not by his actions at all. Reporter this morning, serious questions from some, about why rice wasnt ousted sooner. The nfl telling abc news monday, that video was not made available to us. And no one in our office has seen it until today. But commissioner goodell did see this video, released by tmz sports in february, showing rice drags the unconscious janay out of the elevator. At the time, suspending him for just two games. Its appalling that it took a video to wake the nfl up. Reporter off the field, rice was charged with thirddegree aggravated assault and apologized publicly to his wife. I made the biggest mistake in my life. Shes an angel. Reporter prosecutors allowing him to enter a pretrial intervention program, with no prison time, if completed successfully. Ray rices camp hasnt responded to our request for comments. As for Roger Goodell, he admitted he made a mistake suspending him only for two games. Now, many wonder if he will face more fallout. Dan abrams said. You heard with Christine Brennan said. It tooa video to wake up the nfl . And you have to ask yourself, whats really changed . We had seen the previous video, right . Of him dragging his wife out of the elevator. Knowing that he had hit her. He was charged criminally. That was resolved. And now, today, the nfl is acting as if, oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Look at what happened. What did they think happened in the elevator . We knew what had happened in the elevator. And i think theyre using this to some degree as cover, to take a harsher position and give him a tough eer sentence. They say they did not see the video. This is the first time theyve been seeing it. Thats an important question, if he ends up suing the nfl. Lets take a step back from it. Even if they hadnt seen the video, they had seen the first video of him dragging her out. And he wasnt denying that he had hit her. So, what changed . The bottom line is, yes. Weve now seen the video, the emotional impact, et cetera. As a technical legal matter, it could matter, whether the nfl had seen the video previously because he could argue, wait a second. I was punished already. You took action against him. Theres a collective bargaining agreement, et cetera, in place. You cant just go ahead and up it at a later time. An interesting question. Ill be interested to see what michael thinks, the union, silent. No statement from the union on this at all. I want michael to weigh in. I know you will be talking about this on sunday. What are you hearing from the players . And what about the union . People are thinking they may step up. I think anytime anyone sees this video, dan says whats the difference with the video . I caught a fish this big. And you see video of them catching the fish this big. The video was impact. Its not about the nfl. Its about ray rice and his situation with his wife. Also, about Domestic Violence as a whole, outside of the nfl. This is an issue, where you have a guy that made a mistake, that i wouldnt want to be associated with him. No one wants to be associated with him. He wouldnt be on my team. I wouldnt want him around in any capacity. And i think that that is the thing. I dont think i think Roger Goodell made a mistake. And he admitted that twogame suspension. I dont think he saw this video because theres no place for this in any part of society, not just the nfl. But any part. Okay. Thank you, michael. Thank you, dan. We want to know what you think. Should ray rice be allowed to play football again. Tweet us with the socialsquare and let us know. This is far from being over. Youre right about that. Going to turn to president obama, repairing to address the nation on his strategy to take on i. S. I. S. A new abc News Washington post poll shows seven out of ten americans favor air strikes against the Extremist Group in iraq.

There was a deep reluctance to get involved in the middle east. Now, you see wide concern about the threat posed by a group thats been beheading americans, taking over large territory, large amounts of territory in iraq and syria. In this poll, 91 , 91 said that they see i. S. I. S. As posing a vital throeat to u. S. Interests. But the president is not aprepared to announce he is ready with air strikes. And it comes with a time he is facing popularity problems. 56 of the country disapproving of how the president is handling foreign policy. Reporter and the singlebiggest factor in that, is a majority say the president has been too cautious in responding to this threat. Thats why hes giving the speech. Hes not going to order air strikes on syria yet. He is going to make the case that he has a strong approach, a strategy for taking on this group. Jon karl, thanks very much.

The opportunity. I always envisioned i would get the opportunity to do broadway. When i thought about it, i envisioned myself being much older. 30s and 40s. When the opportunity came up, i thought, keke, this may be the one. A lot of us grew up with cinderella. What did you think of the character . As a kid, i loved watching the movie. And when i saw the brandy version, i loved it even more because i was like, my gosh. This is like me. I could relate to it more, as far as my life and what i could do. Big props to brandy for that. She played it in the movie. It did open up eyes. What are you hoping that people and girls of all walks of life. What do you want them to take away from seeing your performance . The thing that cinderella is about. Specifically in our version, all things are possible. You have to believe in it. With me being the first africanamerican to do it on broadway, it encourages that message. You have to go for it. We fell in love with you eight years ago. Was it eight years ago . It was back ten years ago. It wasnt . 11 when i shot it. 12 when it came out. This is what somebody, so sweet. Kathy on instagram writes, the little spelling bee girl all grown up.
