This is the National Security danger that keeps officials up at night. Reporter absolutely right, george. This morning authorities in the Eastern European country of moldova say theyve broken up a criminal ring with ties to russia prepared to sell Radioactive Material to isis, supposedly for a dirty bomb to target america. Mole dove van Police Released this video this morning showing a series of raids and arrests earlier this year and late last year. The targets were a small group of men that Authorities Say were connected to russian intelligence agencies and were offering Radioactive Materials including uranium 235 and cesium which experts say in much larger amounts could be used to make a dirty bomb. There was no actual isis involvement but undercover mole dove van agents posed as members and their sting operation showed that the men offering the material would have had no hesitation to sell to isis if the price had been right. A senior u. S. Counterterror officer told abc news this week theres been no indication whatsoever that isis has made any attempts or has much interest in using Radioactive Material to build a dirty bomb, that the isis group focuses more on much simpler more easily obtainable weapons including the trove of chemical agents this he may have taken from the arsenal of the syrian army. So concerned about any terror Group Getting them. If they do theres no deterring them. In the last year russia stopped cooperating with the u. S. And creating upgrades to its nuclear thresholds.

In each state Hillary Clinton runs neck and neck with donald trump, but joe biden, he trounces trump in each of those states doing much better than clinton and, george, this holds up across the board against every republican candidate biden does significantly better than Hillary Clinton and its easy to see why, he is seen as more honest and trust worthy by voters and voters believe he understands their problems better than Hillary Clinton. Although in the polls she is leading him in the headtohead matchups. Reporter among democrat, yes. No one knows what yeo is thinking but this Group Pushing for him to get in is taking action.

Thats not how youre supposed to deliver these. Not hang in there. No. This is pardon . I missed that. What . Should we just move on . Okay. We begin with the latest on the retrial of that california mother of three accused of killing her husband. Julie harpers fate could be in the hands of the jury as early as today. Abcs linsey davis is here with good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning, robin. Last year a jury found julie harper not guilty of first degree murder. This morning a new jury will begin deliberating on whether murder. Who will the jury believe when they begin deliberations in the case of julie harper, the 42yearold san diego stayathome mom charged with Second Degree murder for the death of her husband, jason. Jason harper wanted to live. She chose to pull the trigger. Julie harper was a victim of domestic violence. He became enraged. Reporter two very different versions of that morning in 2012 when harper shot her husband in their carlsbad bedroom while her children watched cartoons downstairs. She admits to killing the Popular High School math teacher and volleyball coach but claims it was selfdefense. Julie harper shot jason out of anger and scorn. Not out of justifiable selfdefense. Reporter prosecutors calling into question her claims of verbal and physical abuse. And alleged Sexual Assault at the hands of her husband. She lied to you when she said that a beloved High School Math teacher was a secret rapist for years. Reporter harper also claims the gun went off by accident. I never intended to shoot him. I only intended to scare him and hopefully stop him. Reporter but the prosecution allowed jurors monday to testify fire a similar handgun to the one she used but police never recovered. A firearms expert testifying its no hair trigger. Ten pounds of pressure is needed to fire. Some woman who has no prior history of violence who is living there and the kids are playing and stuff like that decided to grab a deering injure and shoot somebody. There must be more to it than the defense insisting its not plausible harper shot her husband unprovoked. The history of julie harper does not lead one to believe that all of a sudden she turned into an assassin. Reporter later this morning prosecutors will present their rebuttal argument and the case will go to the jury of seven women and five men. If found guilty julie harper faces 40 years to life in prison. Robin. All right, linsey, thank you. Abcs dan abrams is here with more on this. Tell us whats different this time in this trial. Prosecutors can streamline their case more meaning first degree murder is off the table because the jury acquitted her of that. As a result they dont have to focus on issues like premeditation. And one of the key things that we saw in court was that each and every one of these jurors was able to actually hold one of the guns that was used, not the actual gun, but another gun to show how hard it would have been to actually pull the trigger by accident. Remember, her defense is, you know, i was holding the gun and the gun goes off by accident. What these jurors are doing by holding the gun and actually pulling it to show you how hard it is is really important for the prosecutions case because it belies the notion of accidental shooting. Is it unusual that was allowed . Its very unusual. Its very unusual. Not unheard of but to literally sit there and have each and every one ive seen in other cases where theyve asked and the judges have said no. What about her testimony . Its the case, right. When youre talking about selfdefense, in this particular case, the evidence is her testimony. So, if they dont believe her, shes done. If they do believe her, its critical. The childrens testimony has been heartbreaking. So heartbreaking. Im. Though. They heard it and so they become critical witnesses but more importantly, the girl is talking about how upset she is at her mother, why, because you killed daddy. Can you imagine . Huhuh, i cant. Well see what happens this time. Yeah. Well find out maybe today. Dan, thanks. We turn to the scandal swirling around those Fantasy Sports sites.

Time now for our heat index and this mornings hot button, the arizona mom who says she was shamed by a Flight Attendant for breast punching in flight. Abcs Kayna Whitworth has the story. Reporter its the inflight video thats gone viral. A mom fighting back as an Airline Attendant tells her she cant use a breast pump in the planes bathroom. Minutes. I got it. You needed to have told us that you were doing that. Now this phoenix mom is speaking out saying shes embarrassed and angry after that Flight Attendant shamed her for breast punching. She diminished me. Reporter Mariana Hannaman Airlines Flight home from chicago last month and just a few hours away from seeing her 4monthold daughter. Despite punching before boarding midflight. If i dont pump regularly, my breast milk supply goes down. Only that, but some mothers need to pump as often as every two hours. That sensation of the breast being full and needing to drain or empty her breast, that needs to occur almost immediately, otherwise it can be incredibly painful and in a most severe situation it could potentially infection. Reporter she hannaman headed to the bathroom saying she warned the passengers behind her she needed a few minutes. A Flight Attendant comes and knocks on the door and shes like are you okay. Yes, i breastfeed so im punching. Reporter the new mom says the Flight Attendant returned shortly after and told her to open the door. Me. Reporter exposed hannaman says the Flight Attendant told her she couldnt pump in there so she collected herself and confronted the attendant recording it on her ipad. I got it. I got it. You needed to have told us that you were doing that. Telling abc news they issued hannaman an apology stating their policy allows women to breastfeed or express milk in any of their facilities that includes your seat or in the lavatory. So American Airlines adds that while its not required, giving the Flight Attendant a headsup you need to pump is helpful. Hannaman says she thinks the Flight Attendant should be retrained, ron, shes not looking for anyone to get fired over this. Good suggestions there and letting them be aware as they said, you dont have to but its a good policy. Just because youre in the bathroom for 15 minutes so there. I dont disagree with that. George. Next up on heat index. All of us parents grapple with the kwe question with kids and screen time. New recommendations out and dr. Besser is back with that. Its the first new recommendation since the ipad came out. There is a recognition we live in a Digital World and they want to give parents some in a way that will be beneficial to our kids. Basically what are the tips . If be a parent so set limbs like you would for anything that children do. Model behavior. You want to see. Limit your own behavior if you want to do that for your kids and be enedge gaed so select apps your kids can use, not just swiping but interacting and find games you can do together on there. Its okay for teens to be online. Thats where theyre establishing a lot of their identity but you want to help them navigate appropriate behavior, make mistakes you can help them figure out what to do. And create techfree zones. Free play time is it essential of the facetoface time and talked about that and what kids are learning there is critical an establishing a place in your home where its no devices so that even adults and kids can talk to each other. Especially the dinner table. On the teens i sometimes stress out by seeing how much theyre on that with their friend. Those social interactions are how kids are engaging. You want to monitor it and teach them appropriate ways to interact there. Figuring out their identity, very, very important. Rich besser, thanks very much. All right, george. In the heat index we all or weve been talking about, we all know about Performance Reviews at work, at work. How about your marriage . Hmm. Many experts are suggesting them for couples, we first saw it in the wall street journal and juju chang has the details. Reporter its often an uncomfortable moment of truth at work. What would you say you do here . Reporter annual Performance Reviews just like in the classic Comedy Office space. I have people skills. I am good at dealing with people. Cant you understand that . Reporter but could Performance Reviews be good for your marriage . Yep. You heard right. A review from your spouse. Performance reviews are a growing trend in many marriages today and i think cups are realizing how important it is to be proactive in checking. Reporter these regular checkins are something jocelyn been doing for the past ten years. When i was pregnant with our third child, it became clear that we were about to become outnumbered by children. It was on the Tipping Point of having a little too much on our plate so i wanted to come up with a method for us to, you know, stay on top of what was happening. Reporter together they decided to have weekly conversations about their relationship. We have a lot of moving parts, and those moving parts will get away from you unless you communicate about them. Reporter while theres no need for an exact schedule its helpful to chick in on a regular basis to avoid misunderstandings and just like at work experts say dont be too critical. You want to talk about whats working, not just whats not working and mindful of how you phrase things. You dont want to attack someones character and say youre so lazy. The kitchen is always a mess. The home is always a mess because thats going to shut down communication. Reporter but they admit these conversations arent always easy. I needed a little guidance. A basically took jocelyns lead. I have a great life. Thats the result. Every year our marriage gets better and better because we do communicate this way. Reporter for good morning america, juju chang, abc news, new york. Okay. Please, can we talk about this . Please. We asked all of you would you give your marriage a Performance Review, 28 said yes. 72 said no. Were now joined by demitria lucas doyley and ill confess, i get regular Performance Reviews. Hourly. How often do you think cups should do this. I definitely think a week. It feels more like a chore than something positive for the relationship, i would say every four to six weeks is probably better. Makes it feel like something regular, a checkin. Good communication. But does this just happen naturally. Should it be so planned and calculated. A lot of couples ideally they would communicate on a regular basis, a lot of couples dont, it leads to a lot of conflict so youre making sure you are having the communication you need. When you hear Performance Review were all ears up but what if your significant other is not as free as we are about wanting to discuss things . So i would definitely say dont call it a Performance Review. You want to check in. You want to have a conversation, the relationship is good. You want to maintain that level. You keep it positive to get them on board. So if youre in a relationship you dont do anything like this, what tips do you have for folks who want to start communicating better . So i would definitely say present it to your partner as something positive when you open up the conversation. Keep it positive, hey, were doing good. I want to get to great. I love the way things are lets keep them on a good pace. How do you talk about things that you dont feel are good, though . So, when you bring those things up you make sure theres a conflict you make sure youre offering a solution and resolution. Anything you bring up you should have an idea how to fix it. Was thinking we might blank. Some important questions you should ask when youre going through this review process . So, the biggest things that and sex. Or kids. You ask the questions you want to know. How is our sex life . How are we doing financially . Are we building the family the way we want to. I was thinking if you have to ask if you have to ask. But i love how you said to say were good. Lets get to great. Yeah. I like that. I like that too. Were good. Lets get to great. Positive. Youre going to get it when you get home. Tex on our heat index that medical mystery, the 12yearold girl who cant stop sneezing. She sneezes about, are you ready for this, 12,000 times per dare. Gio benitez has her story for us. Reporter for 12yearold katelyn thornley, this sound has become painfully familiar. Three weeks ago katelyn began sneezing and cant stop. I was walking out of a clarinet lesson and all of a sudden it kind of started in little spurts. It was like just a few sneezes here and there but by the time i went to bed i had sneezed 30 times that night. Reporter katelyn now averaging 20 sneezes per minute. I can control it sometimes but its really painful. Reporter so far doctors at texas Childrens Hospital in houston havent been able to figure out exactly what is causing the uncontrollable sneezing. Referring to the condition as a tic. She has kind of a funny feeling she describes in her nose and that piece of her history is very common for tics. Reporter its not the first time doctors have seen bizarre cases like this. Some believe tics may be triggered in the brain by something stressing the child out, 10 of all kids are affected by tics. She cant go to school and cant really do anything normal. Cant eat well. Shes has to sip. She cant drink. Its i mean its affected everything. She has an episode where it was 45 straight minutes. She was screaming in pain. A couple of times. So, and all i can do is just, you know, hold her tight and wait for her to go to sleep. Reporter and katelyn, she just wants to get back to seventh grade. This has taken a huge toll on my life. I want nothing more than for this to end. I just want it to be gone for good. So hard for her to do that interview and tells us she cant go to school. The sneading is just too distracting. She cant be on the swim team. She cant play her clarinet and just think about this, she cant even sleep. The sneezes just wake her up. How brave of her to talk about it. If were hoping they find a solution. Yeah. I can k can see how its affecting her parents too. All with their fresh flowers, i love seeing this and we dont love seeing this. This is a storm in the middle of the pacific, missed hawaii but a lot of moisture is being picked up by that High Pressure system along the Pacific Coast and punching it up to the Pacific Northwest along the warmm front.

Big night. Lets go inside to robin. We are talking here with judge judy, give it up for judge judy here with us this morning. Kicking off it cannot be the 20th season already. Oh, she has banged her gavel when its all said and done itll be 5,000 episodes, 10,000 new season. Why in the world would these two people give you 1100 . Can you explain that to me. That i can understand it. We were good friends. I dont care. Theyre not people with a lot of money. She was helping us out because we were having trouble. I dont believe. Helping out with taxes is one thing. Help you out buy an 1100 Television Set is something he. Read a book. [ laughter ] the expression says it all. It is always a pleasure. Thank you. Always wonderful to see you. The 20th season. I remember you have said when you come here its not like work for you. Its like play. A, its not like work and b, its a blink. 0 years went by in a blink when youre having a good time and, you know, you enjoy your work. Uhhuh. Thats the greatest gift you can have enjoying your work so when you go to work its not like work. It builds confidence. You know, success ive heard you say builds confidence because youre doing what you enjoy doing and you were a judge, a real judge in a courtroom and this happens. The second for me was a third career. I started out my career as a prosecutor in family court and i think weve discussed before. Right. And then my dream was to be a judge in the family court and i realized that dream with a lot of help and i was in that courtroom for 25 years and its a difficult court to sit in. There is very rarely happiness. Occasionally on an adoption day if you have dogs when youre making a family thats wonderful and that gives you a high but most of the time everybody is unhappy when they come to family court. True. So when i was given this opportunity 20 years ago to come and play, i said, you know, nothing is successful really on tv, especially somebody who is then 52 years old. Thats how old you were at the time. At the time. Please, let me last two years, let me last maybe three years. And i remember doing an interview with morley safer when he revisited the first 60 minutes piece about ten years later or nine years later and he said how long do you want to do it. I said, gee, if i could get a tenyear run, that would be so fabulous. But you were able to reinvent yourself but staying true to who you are and thats not always easy to do. I think it was probably erma bombeck who said youre not supposed to leave what you left on the table. If people have a wonderful singing voice they want to be dancers or if theyre 52 they want to be basketball players. They dont stay with their strength. I know what my limitations are. What are your limitations . I dont see any. Oh, i have a lot of limitations. For instances, i couldnt do what you do convincingly because youre a good interviewer. You actually look as if youre not only interested in the question youve asked but the response from listening to a person. From your guest. Im not so interested. Lets play another clip because this one has gone viral recently and it was from a few years ago. This gives you an indication. Go ahead. I had to replace all my deeds. I had gift cards this there. My earpiece and a calculator. There was no earpiece in her mouth. Dumb and dumber. For the plaintiff in the amount of 500. Thats what i think its worth, madam go have you always been such a straight shooter. You just tell it like it is, always . Its easy. If you live by the rule, if you tell the truth, you dont have then its life becomes that much more easy and negotiable if you are telling one story to one person, another to another person eventually youre going to get both feet in your mouth and youre going to be embarrassed. Amen but this is what i love about you, many things, you tell us to take responsibility for ourselves and to fess up when we mess up and weather going to mess up sometimes. Well, i think that if people took responsibility, jerry and i were driving from the other side of town for the interview this morning and jerry said to me, this streets in new york are filthy. Its just another level of taking responsibility. Its irresponsible to take a magnificent city like this and trash it. I dont mind calling you out. I dont think theres any excuse for that i dont think theres any excuse for bad behavior. I dont think theres any excuse for abusing a child or for stealing somebodys property. There just is no excuse. There may be reasons, but a reason is not an excuse and i think that this city and this country have flipped those two words. There may be a reason that somebody acts irresponsibly, whether its nurturing, nature, whatever it is, but its never an excuse because human beings have a choice. Either you pick up that piece of paper and throw it away in a trash can or you toss it on the floor and you dirty somebody elses house. Thats responsible. Thats a choice. Judge judy has spoken. The gavel has gone down. Season thank you so much and thanks for having jerry here too. Season 20 of judge judy is on now. Check your local listings. Lets get to michael . Thanks, babe. All right, thank you, robin. It is open mike time.

Normally i go oh, my goodness but i was just, ooh, this might be interesting. Very, very, very creative actually. To think like that. We have a timelapse video with you creating Albert Einstein. Yes. Which is ah. Spill the beans for us. How do you do this . How does it work its einstein. Im looking at that and its just hard enough to paint with regular paint.

This is what our first layer will look like. You have to let this dry first then go and work on it again and again. So like the Albert Einstein how long did it take to create that. Oh, einstein took about eight hours. Eight hours. In total so i took a little break here and there but it was how much coffee do you actually drink a day . Four, five. Four or five cups . Youre good.

Now his life as an analyst at friend of gma. Having me on. Thank you for being here. I love the book. Its really its like you. Youre not afraid to trash talk. Youre not afraid to be real about your trials and tribulations. We graduated college same year. University of michigan, fab five. I love what you write about the bond and the domination from day one of the fab five. The brotherhood. Myself, jimmy king, ray jackson, juwan howard, chris webber. The fab five and as you mentioned it was a brotherhood. Since the beginning, but what people dont talk about is the actual sacrifice, at that time normally people were choosing schools where they can go and be the man and then try to go to the nba draft. We were like we want to change the game and do Something Special and i think we did. And from day one youre driving up to campus in your car, its totally overpacked, dont know where youre going and hear four freshmen screaming your name and there they were. Your brothers. Absolutely with the component inter interspeaker in the back with the seat laid down. Of course. Yeah. Definitely. Is looking out the window like why are you late. Second, i was lost. I had to go to a pay phone and call an assistant coach to find my way on campus. No cell phones then. I remember well. Right after that it took us maybe an hour before you knew it. We were behind the dorm actually playing outdoors. Yeah, and then first day of practice, i love it. You say to the upperclassmen were not going to mix it up. Lets do freshmen do all the upperclassmen and beat them five games in a row and had to create a little bit of animosity. It does create animosity because normally youre a freshman and youre supposed to shut up and wait your turn but it was our opportunity to make a statement. The team prior, the prior year they didnt make the ncaa tournament so we were like, we can beat these guys and we want to be the starting five and that was the springboard. Yeah and making a statement is something that youre comfortable doing. You are known for your trash talking and youre very clear bit. Its just part of the game. It actually is but you got to be ready for what the other guy may do. And you got to also produce like growing up in detroit trash talking works both ways. Yeah. Because the guy thats not going to go on to be an nba basketball player might go to the back of the truck of his car and have something to say about what you were talking about on the court so you got to be careful. Let me ask why did you decide now, jalen, to write the book. Because im at a different point in my life and the basketball era, being an allamerican in high school, playing in the nba, now im in the fullfledged entertainment business. Im the next michael strahan. Yes, you are. Youre the man, jalen. Ah. Oh. I love you. Ki dunk on you. Yes. Alleyoop. Oh. Everybody, the name of the book is got to give the people what they want. He does. And he does. Thank you. Love, love having you here. Were going to do some thats right. Be jealous. Its in book stores right now and coming up, if thats not good enough, Cate Blanchett is here wow. Yes, indeed. Cate blanchett. She stars in the new movie truth based on 60 minutes producer mary mapes fired for producing a flawed story with dan rather questioning george w. I have to apologize for the story. On air. Andrew asked you to apologize . He didnt ask. Dan, thats surrender he feels cbs cant afford the risk to its reputation. He knew. And Cate Blanchett joins us now. This movie is so powerful. Brings you back to what was a very tense time and we see Robert Redford playing dan rather right there in yes, yes. Dan rather says he was floored by how you captured mary mapes. How did you do it . I thought he was going to say how i captured dan rather. That would have been a stretch. Look, working with redford was extraordinary but there was a very particular responsibility one has to playing, you know, reallife character like mary even though shes behind the camera and not necessarily particularly well known because the mary that i met was, you know, vivacious and vital and course, the film captures her in absolute free fall. Every journalists worst nightmare. The way it captures the cascading series of revelation, mistake, surprises and you see her come in for so much hate. A lot of hate. I mean i think theres even though it feels like recent history 2004 i think and you would know this better than i, the media landscape, the Political Landscape has changed entirely. You know, it was at the beginning of that whole kind of hateful blogosphere personal even blogs sounded dated. I am dated. You know, i dont really exist in the social media world but i think the whole notion of googles one self and finding that invisible opinion yachting as an investigative journalist, i would imagine it would have been quite galling. Such a difficult story. It was dropped right in the middle of a president ial campaign which leads to my only film scene with Cate Blanchett. We do have a scene. Im not looking at you. Im not looking at the screen. Youre yelling at me. You were green screen when i did it on the day but i could hear your voice and feel the charisma. You could feel the anger coming out from your character at what i was saying on television. It is a terrific movie. You also since the last time you were here a little addition to your family and adopted a little girl. Weve been blessed so i have three boys and a girl. Shes great but its a wonderful thing when you see your, you know, your children becoming a pack sort of independent of you and im very proud of them. I bet you chose boys watch out for her. Oh, yeah. Steve jobs is coming out aaron sorkin coming out with a new movie about steve jobs and youre talking to him about maybe doing lucille ball. Yes, its early days. Lucille is one of my alltime great heroes, phyllis diller, you name it and its early days but aaron sorkin and i are talking about, yeah, we dont know what form it will be in but theres a lot of material there. She was an extraordinary woman. She was. Like mary mapes is an extraordinary woman. These and you capture it in the movie. Its called truth.

A couple spots just about 70 degrees later on this afternoon. Could be a shower up north, otherwise clearing skies and we start to drop back later tonight into the 30 s. Tomorrow, a cooler day.
