Look at what happened to the value of the british pound as the votes came in cratering in a few hours to the lowest level in decades.

As of now, if you look at where the dow futures are pointing, where the s p 500 is pointing, it could hit your 401 k , your Retirement Savings by as much as 2,700 today, david. Thanks, rebecca. Now to donald trump speaking out to reporters about the Game Changing vote. Abcs tom llamas is with him in scotland with more. Tom. Reporter robin, good morning. This trip was supposed to be all about this resort turnberry which trump calls an amazing piece of property but trump has landed in the middle of a major news event here in the ux and though trump the voters who voted to leave the eu right here in scotland they voted overwhelmingly to stay. This morning, donald trump is off the campaign trail, way off landing in scotland. Hes here for the reopening of his turnberry golf report. Staffers on hand to greet him. Some wearing those famous red trump caps but here they say make turnberry great again. From the moment he landed trump bombarded with questions of brexit. Basically, basically they took back their country. Thats a great thing. Reporter trump taking the trip while back at Home Congress battles over gun control and the Supreme Court tackles a major ruling limiting amnesty for undocumented immigrants but while his campaign is fighting to raise money, this trip was supposed to be about golf. But now with brexit, trump forced to weigh in on a major world event. This was one of the big votes in the history of europe and reporter here in scotland like america trump is both loved and hated. What do you guys think about donald trump . I cant stand the man. Cannot stand the man and cannot stand what hes doing to golf. He has invested in this c constituency and those jobs are important. Reporter some of his scottish neighbors raising mexican flags to spite him. The Clinton Campaign mocking trumps trip releasing this video slamming trumps reputation in the uk. All he talk about was money, money, money and trump, trump, trump. Reporter but a super pac is taking care of attacking clinton while the candidate is away. When bill cosby was accused of Sexual Assault mrs. Clinton tweeted every survivor of Sexual Assault deserves to be believed. But when her husband was, not so much. She savaged their dignity and shamed them. Some folks will have a lot to answer for. Reporter now a New York Times fact check of that trump was taken out of context. Trump is staying here today and tomorrow where hes touring his other golf resort in aberdeen. Robin. Note youll be there, tom. Much more to discuss. Lets dive in with matt dowd who joins us this morning. Right to Donald Trumps statement right after this vote in the uk. He says the people of the United Kingdom have exercised the sacred right of all free peeps and voted to reassert control over their own policy, borders and economy and tweeted they took their country back just like we will take america back. No games. Does this play into his playbook. The similarities are profound. A nationalist movement arise in a divided country among older, frustrated alien a tchlalienates voters and send a message so its very similar. One thing i was struck by watching Donald Trumps press conference today, it was more infomercial and wallace from braveheart. I thought he would talk about the brexit vote more and less about his turnberry resort. You look at the key battleground, ohio, pennsylvania, donald trump and Hillary Clinton neck and neck tied at this point, the same numbers they were seeing in britain going in but it wasnt and close. 4 gap. Should that worry the Clinton Campaign, these same issues fueled that vote in britain . If i were the Clinton Campaign and Hillary Clinton this morning i would be very worried after watching this vote. The enthusiasm was obviously among the same voters that donald trump is counting on in this country in those states as you mentioned, david, in the course of this so i think this is a plus for donald trump in his movement and this was an antistatus quo vote in britain that is what represents what Hillary Clinton is. I think its troubling for Hillary Clinton to watch this vote happen over in europe. You talked about it before. It could all come down to enthusiasm come november. Matt dowd withs thanks. Now, david we move on to the other big story. The Massive Wildfire raging in southern california. The thorskine fire is uncontained. Kayna whitworth is in lake isabella, california. Good morning, kayna. Reporter robin, good morning. At this point officials think up to 80 structures have been destroyed and when you look behind me you can see an example of that. This home completely destroyed. You can see the chimney is actually still on fire and that is the only thing left standing along with those brick pillars. Now, one firefighter here a nineyear veteran of the force say hes never seen this destroy so many homes. Hes calling it surreal. This morning, more than 50 homes destroyed in three different communities. This terrifying wildfire scorching everything in its path. Near lake isabella, california, bringing in bulldozers and air support firefighters had no time to waste. Two taskers lifted off 1 minutes en route to the fire. Reporter the conditions ripe for disaster. With the winds that we have, the fire could threaten 400 to 500 structures. Reporter broadcasting it live on facebook. This is really surreal. Ive never been in a wildland fire where ive seen so many homes burn. Reporter heres one of them. You can see all thats left is the chimney and brick pal lahrs and tell the wind is erratic and weve had several propane tanks explode. You can see theres another propane tank right there. This area is still very unsafe. A local hospital evacuated. And authorities ordering people to leave the area immediately. Just so youre advised we are starting evacuations since its moving so quickly to the east. Reporter he confronting this resident. Re you ready to evacuate . No. Reporter and then that explosion coming from what the Fire Department believes was a propane tank that was ignited. Overnight the fire pushing east into the mountains burning wildly and uncontrolled. Covering 5,000 acres so far. My house is about to go up in smoke. Im in danger of losing everything that i own. Reporter it has been absolutely terrifying. I want to show you over the ridge there you can see the fire pushing east fueled by those heavy winds and, david, at this point fire officials are saying their biggest priority is just keeping people safe. Yeah, just an awful weekend ahead for them. Were thinking about those families and the firefighters. Kayna, thanks. In the midwest and east, 20 Million People are in the storm zone and reports overnight of that toddler being swept away in the rising waters.

We begin with that new look at the infamous o. J. Simpson trial. Prosecutor Christopher Darden opening up in this candid interview revealing what really happened behind the scenes of that landmark trial and Mara Schiavocampo joins us. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Theres been a lot of renewed interest in that case thanks in part to a new espn documentary. Now darden is revealing what really happened with that famous glove incident and what he thinks of Johnnie Cochran after all these years. This morning, former o. J. Simpson prosecutor Christopher Darden making his case about the trial of the century. I cant, you know, rethink, you know, my courtroom performance. I did what i did. Reporter darden speaking out for the First Time Since millions tuned in to espns groundbreaking documentary. On made in america revisiting key moments of the iconic and divisive moment when darden asked o. J. To try on the glove. It was the biggest fight chris and i ever had. Reporter that moment a defining one in the trial. Your honor, it appears mr. Simpson seems to be having a problem put on the glove. Reporter though darden believes it was all an kt. Its an illusion. Propaganda. Reporter now 21 years later a stunning admission. Darden conceding that asking for the demonstration was a mistake. I absolutely would not do it again, if i had known what i knew back then. Reporter he pushes back on the idea that f. Lee bailey tricked him into that fateful moment. I went over to him and said, chris, you know, youre a good ship but you have the [ bleep ] of a field mouse. If you dont show the jury that, i will. He couldnt goad me into anything. F. L he was laughable. Reporter darden was a late add to the case. Joining coprosecutor marcia clark after previous cocounsel bill hodgman had a health scare just three months before opening statements. Amid claims he was only put on the team because of his race. Back then i did not feel used because of my race. On reflection im not quite sure. Reporter simpsons acquittal affecting darden deeply and personally. With the realization that he had been acquitted, i am honored to have reporter since the trial darden says hes unfairly shouldered a lot of the blame. When people who were part of need to point fingers at themselves, garcetti, clark, others, there seems to be that they still dont understand what happened in that courtroom. I do. Reporter but when it comes to Johnnie Cochran i am ashamed of mr. Darden would allow himself to become an apologist for this man. Reporter despite their fiery exchanges in front of the jury, darden remembers his courtroom foe fondly. I miss johnnie. I wish he were here. I wish we could sit in a room like this and argue about that case. As a lawyer, you know, i had nothing but respect for Johnnie Cochran and i till do. Reporter now, darden also says that if he could do things again he wouldnt even join the Prosecution Team at all. His book about that trial in contempt in available in paperback or on ebook. Robin. All right, mara. We bring in cnn senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin. Senior Legal Correspondent sunny hostin is good enough to be with us in the studio. Good morning to you both. Let me start with you, jeffrey. You were there in that courtroom every day. What did you make i was. What did you make of dardens performance . Well, i thought he did a competent job mostly. The issue in the case was far more in jury selection and where the case was tried. The glove demonstration was a disaster. Theres no question about it. But when you look at a jury that deliberated three hours in a sixmonth trial, one courtroom mistake didnt make the difference. They were going to lose no matter what. Yes, because of that quick verdict that they reached. And sunny, we heard Christopher Darden say, you know, if he had to do it over again he wouldnt have him try on the glove. And do you think that he has shouldered much is this fair that he has shouldered much of the blame for on the glove. He shouldnt have done that courtroom demonstration with the gloves. You sort of learn the first day of law school you dont do something in the courtroom that you havent practiced before so that was a big mistake but ive actually interviewed on him the view. He said i knew those gloves belonged to o. J. O. J. s blood was in the gloves. Ron and nicoles blood was in the gloves. He thought it was one of the best courtroom moments in history. I think he still sort of goes back and forth and just goes to show you how important it still is in his mind every day. Hes going back and forth and vacillating. Should he shoulder much of the blame. I dont think so. I think it was a lot more about jury selection and about really Race Relations during those times. Remember, those were the times of the rodney king verdicts. Yes and you have to remember if you put yourself back in that time in l. A. Youre right about that. So, truebjeffrey, what do you t were the keys to the verdict. I think the defense succeeded in changing the subject fundamentally to from whether o. J. Simpson killed these two people which he did and from that to whether the lapd deserved to be vindicated for their performance over many, many years. The defense managed to put the lapd on trial and the lapd had a terrible relationship with africanamericans in los angeles. They had a lot of bad actions, really bad actions to answer for and the defense had a perfect target in mark furman who embodied so much of what was wrong with the lapd. Yeah. But none of that means that o. J. Simpson was actually innocent. But they successfully changed the subject. Yes, a little bit of what you were saying too, sunny. Absolutely. Its interesting because you said that seeing Christopher Darden and also marcia clark, that inspired you to be a prosecutor. Absolutely. I mean i just graduated from law school when the verdict came out and i was watching dardens reaction and he verdict came out. And i thought, i want a job to go to every day that i care that much about the people that im working for and that i would cry if i got an acquittal and i went on to become a prosecutor just because of it so, you know, when i spoke to him he said, im surprised he told me he was surprised that he was an inspiration for me because hes taken so much heat for his performance. That was quite an interview yesterday on the view. Thanks for being with us. Jeffrey, good to see you. Its been too long. Great to see you. You have a good weekend, jeffrey. All righty. Okay, and as mara was telling us Christopher Dardens book in contempt is in available as an ebook. No you to lara with whats coming up on the big board. Just ahead the bombshell news out of britain.

Time for the final big board of the week. Insiders ready to weigh in and of course the big story everyone waking up to around the world britain voting to leave the European Union as stock markets plummet around the world. We want to know what it means for you. Lets bring in Rebecca Jarvis our chief Business Correspondent and, rebecca, even in britain they were stunned. They had no idea the Prime Minister would resign. This is going to have Ripple Effects and youre waiting on wall street. Anything people can do other than calmly wait and watch how this plays out on wall street . Well, david, this is why you always hear that word diversity. Anybody with a savings account in this country should be diversified. Meaning you dont put all of your eggs in one basket. You dont have everything in stocks, instead, you have a little bit in cash, maybe you also own a home and you have some physical assets in your life that have value to you. Beyond that, it really depends on how far away you are from retirement. If you are closer to retirement lets say youre one or two years out from retirement. Right now you want a cushion. You want savings in cash that you can access, the longer away you are from retirement the more time you will have for the markets to come back and historically we know that when the market dips like its dipping today and over longer periods of time, those who sell in the worst moments are those who lose the most. Those who can wait it out who can as difficult as it is to take a look at things day in and day out and not do anything, those are the people who end up making their money back over time, david. Yeah, if youre lucky enough you can invest at this moment when its lower, talk to your retirement adviser. Its terrifying. It is a frightening thing. What do you think it means for tourism, summertime, traveling, what will it mean for those of us going to london and for those there who want to travel the world . Reporter well, if you and heading to london, because the british pound is so weak, youre going to have a lot more buying power so if you already had planned a vacation there this summer you actually are going to probably be able to spend your money and make your u. S. Dollars go a lot farther. For the people of london, though, its going to be a lot harder for them to travel, for them to, for example, come here to the United States on a Summer Vacation and even bigger as an issue are going to be the businesses, companies here in the United States have a million employees that are working in the uk right now and definitely you want to think about that. Yeah, all right, rebecca, thank you so much. Going to move on now to a story a lot of people are talking about, its a new york family thats suing the makers of banana boat sunscreen for allegedly misleading spf labels. The suit claims that the spf 50 reported on the label of their bottle actually tested in a lab as an spf 12. Dr. Richard besser, our chief health and medical editor is so what does that mean to someone who thinks theyre putting on 50, richard, and then really theyre just putting on 12. Yeah, i mean that sounds very concerning. If you look at an spf 50, its going to block out about 98 of those uvb rays and if you look at an spf 12 its at about 90 . So theres a difference there but its probably not as big as people think. The big reason people burn isnt the spf number, its how much sunscreen theyre using. Wow, thats really interesting, rich. So just keep applying throughout the day. Any other tips you have for people who are just starting the Summer Season and have the old lotion on the shelf before they head out the door to the beach or pool. Is it still good and what should you be aware of . The ole lotion you should throw away because it doesnt last over the season. You want to buy a new lotion. Look for Broad Spectrum and that will cover against uva and uvb. Put it on about 15 minutes before you go out and you have to use a lot of it. About an ounce every time, reapply it at leastve you want to apply it more often than that avoid the natural stuff. It doesnt work as well. Are you coming to us from your backyard . Youre doing pretty well these days. I know. Its beautiful aspen, colorado. Its absolutely gorgeous. That is stunning. Enjoy with your family, rich. Put on your sun block please. It looks very nice. Thank you. All right, third topic. Third topic. Here we go. Top cable and Satellite Companies appearing on capitol hill to testify about sales strategies. Investigators concluded many were being overly aggressive to customers when they were trying to get their bills down. We bring in Andrea Woroch from southern california. This will frustrate a lot of consumers to know the Cable Companies were actively coaching their operators to try not to reduce the rates. Right. Thats right, so the sales reps were trained to Upsell Additional Services when consumers were calling in to file complaints to lower their whats more, the investigators found that Cable Companies overcharged customers for equipment and services they never ordered, never received. They, you know, also never alerted them to these erroneous charges and never issued refunds or credits so its a very annoying process for customers to deal with. Totally annoying and not very nice. So how do we avoid it if were calling, saying, hey, id like to get this removed from the bill and finding ourselves being charged more than we were asking to be removed. What do we do . Well, first of all, its important to be aware that that is the technique that these Sales Associates will be following. But dont take the bait. If your ultimate goal is to save upon dont add Additional Services and explain that the bill is more than you can afford and that youre going to have to switch or look for another offer if they cant help lower the bill and if youre not getting anywhere ask to speak to a supervisor. I think thats great advice. Ask to speak tohe has it happened to you. Yeah. Totally happened to me. I have more channels than i know what to do with.

First of all, erin, congratulations to you. Quite an accomplishment. An honor. So how do you feel. Thank you. Youre very welcome. What type of impact do you feel this could possibly have, erin . Well, its certainly making history and im not sure that i set out to do that but i am the first openly gay miss missouri and contestant to head to miss america so im very exsighted for that but mainly im excited to represent the lgbt community. Were underrepresented in public, you know, positions of influence so im excited to take that on and hope my presenc the community. And you will are excited about your platform which is Suicide Prevention and how do you feel your title will help you in that work . Yes, well, Suicide Prevention is something that i certainly hope to champion throughout this entire year. I promote the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and i also work very closely with the Trevor Project which is the nations leading crisis intervention and Suicide Prevention hot line for lgbt youth. Lgbt youth are actually up to eight times as likely to commit suicide as compared to their straight peers if they come from an unacceptable environment. So im really excited to partner with them and i hope that it will be a great year of social change. And giving them a voice which is so yes. You have to know that, you know, a young person seeing you and breaking down this barrier that it has to, you know, have some kind of impact and as you said, so many of these young people are going throu tough enough to be young, period. But when youre gay or bi or transgender and youre being bullied and so how will you continue to get that message across that this too shall pass. Weve heard this campaign about, you know, just get through this difficult time. How are you going to help them get through it . Right. Well, im just going to share my story as much as i can and like i said my focus of this year i hope will not be solely on my sexuality. Im excited to represent the organi organization, the Miss America Organization and what i think my message is, i had dream answer goes and i was very scared at first to become who i am but once i stepped into who i was is when i became most successful so my message to all young people out there who have a dream but maybe a little scared is that no matter what obstacles are in your way it does get better. And that im here for everyone. Miss america. Absolutely. Thats always a great thing to have a bigger goal, but if not, i am just so excited to represent miss to be miss missouri and to represent the Miss America Organization. Its amazing that they have opened up to me and i think its truly a testament to howdy verse and inclusive the organization is and its changed my life completely. You represent that crown well.

Presenting the American Express blue cash everyday card with cash back on purchases. Its all happening. And no annual fee. Here we go cash back on purchases. Backed by the service and security of American Express. Now gma investigates friday morning the scales measuring weight and body fat that so many rely on but now the accuracy of those numbers is being questioned. Our becky worley takes a look at the hightech scales. Reporter scales have really evolved from connecting with apps to measuring body fat. But how accurately . We invited three brave women to try out six consumer body fat scales ranking from price from 40 to 150. This is o percent body fat. Reporter we start in this while contraption called the bod pod by measuring body fat percentages for all three women. Our experts, dr. John shepherd and his team at the university of california San Francisco body composition lab. Were trying out the latest models of scales from tunita, fitbit, taylor, withings, weight watchesary qardio. All six reported weight correctly for all three women with less than 1 of error from our Gold Standard but the body fat percentages, thats a different story. For sara her body fat percentage nearly 34 . Out of the six scales, 38. 6. Reporter withings was off the most reported almost 39 . I dont know if i want to buy one at all. Reporter for lose ser her percentage, 27 but for her the withings scale reported 37 . Thats more than 10 off. Throw it out the window. Reporter and nearly 16 . Whoa. Reporter the withings scale has more than 14 off at 30 . I think getting a professional reading will be more accurate. Reporter how did the scales size up. Between our testers and when i gave them a go. Tanita represented it 4 more than our Gold Standard. Taylor on average, also more than 4 . Weight watchers, 4 , qardio, 5 and withings, 9 . We did have a sinking error with the fitbit says may have been due to a wifi problem so we are not reporting those results. We reached out to all the companies in our story, some criticized the use of the bod pod as our Gold Standard and say their own testing confirms the accuracy of their products and add these are meant to help users see trends over time. Withings told us while it cannot comment on our findings it uses a specific technique widely recognized as the the model is no longer on the market and the company out with two new scales that test body fat among other things, they still use the same technique to calculate body fat but tells us the new electronics are more advanced and take even more exact readings. In march Consumer Reports tested the same six and came to sim what are conclusions writing the results were unimpressive none was very accurate. Technology is advancing and i think it will get better. Reporter for our testers maybe its helpful to kind of keep trends and track how theyre moving up or down. Reporter ive used one of these body fat scales ever since i was trying to lose the baby weight after i had my twins. Many times the body fat analysis on my scale telling me i was outside of healthy norms. But i got my body fat tested at ucsf too and found out my scale has been overestimating my body fat by an extra 17 pounds. Im channeling oprah here with th i had this much more fat than i really do and, david, when it comes to body Image Perception matters. So at least now i know to factor in this much in my case margin of error. Thats not even close. Thats just incredible when you show it visually. Becky, weve always thought you looked amazing so who needs the scale in your case . Have a great weekend. Its really eyeopening stuff. Thanks, beck. Ginger zee tracking so much.
