Transcripts For WPVI Good Morning America 20170411

Backlash growing over this video showing Security Officers dragging a passenger off a plane in chicago after he refused to give up his seat on an overbooked flight. Now the airlines ceo under fire for blaming the passenger. And good morning, america. I still cant believe that video. A lot of people still talking about it. Not just here theyre talking about it, the reaction is worldwide and china on just one of their sites, this video already has more than 100 million views. United airlines, a big airline in china. Well have more ahead. Dan abrams will be here to weigh in and tell us legally what we can do when boarding a plane, train or other form of transportation. But we have a lot of stories to cover this morning. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson heading to moscow for meetings with top officials. One of the question, did the russians know about the syrian chemical attack before it happened . A new report claims that they did. And how do americans feel about that u. S. Strike . Well, a new abc News Washington post poll suggests most support it but only by a small margin. We begin with that. The secretary of state lands there after a meeting with our allies in europe where he called out russia for not keeping its promise. Take a look. Stockpiles and continued use demonstrate that russia has failed in its responsibility to deliver on its 2013 commitment. It is unclear whether russia failed to take this obligation seriously or russia has been incompetent but this distinction doesnt much matter to the dead. Lets bring in Martha Raddatz for more on this. Martha, there was concern during tillersons confirmation he would be soft on russia but going to moscow with a very tough message. Reporter he clearly has a tough message for russia, george. Saying this morning that russia needs to take a hard look at its relationship with assad asking whether siding with such an unreliable partner is in russias best interest. The russians have said to you their smore for syria is not n unconditional but you also had the russians say that the relationship is lower than it was during the cold war and that was even before the chemical weapons attack and before the u. S. Missile strikes and this morning in regards to the meeting, the russians say we expect constructive cooperation rather than confrontation, alleviating tensions rather than escalating them. But i suspect this will be plenty tense, george. The russians also said he would not be meeting with president putin. That means hes the first secretary of state that wont be meeting with the russian leader on his first visit and new questions about whether russia knew about the chemical weapons attack before it happened. Reporter yeah, george, you know there was that ap story saying that they did know that the russians were aware this chemical attack was about to happen. But they now say at this time the white house is saying at this time there is no u. S. Intelligence Community Consensus that russia had foreknowledge of the syrian chemical attack so the white house is denying that. But i hit on the word consensus. We dont know whether or not some of the 17 intelligence agencies actually do believe russia was complicit. The secretary firming up his antiassad stance saying its clear to awful us the reign of assads family is coming to an end. Reporter they say that again and again, george. We heard those mixed messages but we dont know exactly what they mean by that. They say they hope assad will leave. But theres no military intervention beyond what weve already seen. Martha raddatz, thanks very much. George, we get more on the u. S. Response to syria. The Trump Administration seeming to draw a new line monday committing to more intervention but then immediately walking that back. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega tried to get clarity and joins us now with more. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter good morning to you. Initially the white house seemed to suggest that barrel bomb, a weapon regularly used by the assad regime against its own people might be a new red line. But then an almost immediate aboutface. After launching 59 missiles in response to that deadly chemical attack the white house is backpedaling on how far it is will to go to in syria. At first sean spicer seeming to shift the socalled red line saying its not just the use of chemical weapons that would prompt the United States to take military action. Is the red line just to clarify, the red line for this white house chemical warfare, is conventional warfare enough to get the president to go further there than this white house has gone before . The answer is is that if you gas a baby, if you put a barrel bomb in to innocent people, i think you can you will see a response from this president. That is unacceptable. Reporter but Bashar Al Assad has frequently used barrel bombs against his own people. Human rights group say nearly 13,000 last year alone. Far more than any chemical weapon attacks. An american attack in response to syrian barrel bombs would mark a significant shift in u. S. Policy. But just hours later, an aboutface. The white house walking back spicers comment, a spokesman telling ab news nothing has changed in our posture. The president retains the option to act in syria against the assad regime whenever it is in the national interest. So, this is not the only mixed signal coming out of this white house right now. Key members of the Trump Administration seem divided on whether assad should stay or go. I asked Secretary Sean Spicer yesterday how far President Trump is will to go to so assad out of power. He said you cant imagine a peaceful syria with assad in charge. Lets get more from richard haass, the president of the council on Foreign Relations and author of the new book a world in disarray. That word disarray can apply to what the administration is saying about a syria policy. Its been all over the place. Clearly they want to properly, i think, strongly react to the use of chemical weapons. When you talk about regime change there is an enormous gap between where we want to go and where we are and the capabilities it would take. Not only what sean spicer said yesterday about now maybe retaliating for barrel many bos the secretary of state we rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who account crimes against the innocents anywhere in the war. Preet sweeping. Bear any burden. You have to narrow it down. The United States cant if you will become the policeman of the world. There is an awful lot of places where governments are acting really badly towards their own people and youve got to be much more narrow. Youve got to side where your vital interests are at stake. Where you can use military force in ways that will make a difference at a cost youre prepared to pay. How about this showdown in moscow again. We saw that one report that moscow may have known about the chemical weapons attack, if they did, how much of a game changer is that . Its not. Its just another reminder that russia is an outlier. Its not as though we need new information. This is a country that went into ukraine, took over crimea and allowed Bashar Al Assad to use chemical weapons and interfered in our own elections. Russia is a spoiler, an outlier. A remainder of who were dealing with and under Vladimir Putin you have somebody who has enormous discretion to do what he wants to do often which is quite problematic. How do you deal with it . As i said earlier theres some concern that President Trump, the secretary of state would be soft on putin. Taking a much tougher line right now but its at a time where our relations according to the russians are worse than they were during the cold war. What youve got to do is two thing, set the table. Weve got to create a context with the russians know they cant use military force and easily get away with it so did a little in syria i mean strengthening nato so russia isnt tempted to invade any other country and have to be careful with our rhetoric. We dont want to humiliate the russians or paint them into a corner. Is there a way to pull putin away from assad. Mr. Putin is many things. Sentimental is probably not one of them so, sure, i think what we want to do is try to drive a little wedge between iran who is syrias principal backer and the russians and talk to them whats your longterm interest. Can you protect your longterm interests in a way that you separate yourself from assad . Itll take several years but we ought to begin that process . Richard haass, thanks for coming in. Robin. Going to turn to another major headline this morning, that tragic shooting at an Elementary School in california. Here is what we know. The shooter targeted his estranged wife, a teacher, killing her before turning the gun on himself. An 8yearold was also killed and a fourth victim, a 9yearold was injured and is now in stable condition. Abcs Kayna Whitworth is on the scene there for us and has more. Good morning, kayna. Reporter robin, good morning. There were 15 kids in that classroom. And it was a special education classroom. Authorities say that those two little boys you just talked about had gotten behind their teacher when the shooting happened. They had nothing to do with the couple who had been married just three short months and had recently separated. Tragedy unfolding in San Bernardino. Possible active shooter at north park elementary.

Now, the teachers mother telling abc news that her daughter knew something was wrong and that she tried to get out of her marriage. North park Elementary School will be closed for the next two days. So tragic. All right, kaepernick, thank you. Michael. Robin, now to that outrage over video of a passenger forcely removed from a United Airlines flight after refusing to give up his seat when he was ordered to. The Airlines Response is raising new questions and Abcs David Kerley is at Dulles Airport with the story. Good morning. Reporter good morning. This shocking video that is lighting up social media around the globe has some wondering why united has not apologized to the passenger. [ screaming ] reporter this shocking scene captured by passengers aboard that united flight from chicago to louisville prompting even a response from the ceo of united calling it upsetting. Ceo oscar mun yoez writing in a letter to employees said, this situation was unfortunately compounded when one of the passengers we politely asked to deplane refused and it became necessary to contact chicago aviation Security Officers. While i deeply regret this situation arose, i also emphatically stand behind all of you and i want to commend you for continuing to go above and beyond to ensure we fly right. The video shows the 69yearold man getting pulled out of the plane by three Aviation Security officials. Moments after being told he needed to give up husband seat because the plane was overing booed. As officials dragged the man through the aisles by his arms and leg, horrified passengers say they overheard him shouting that hes a doctor and being profiled because he is chinese. I could not believe what i was seeing or hearing. I was in shock. Reporter once off the plane he unsuccessfully tries to reboard with a bloody lip. The drama began when the airline asked passengers to give up seats voluntarily because four crew members needed to board to work a flight in louisville. United offered passengers vouchers up to a thousand dollars but because the next flight didnt depart until the following day there were no takers. The airline says this forced them into an involuntary deboarding situation which means the airline decides which passengers to bump using a computer involving connecting flights and how long the passenger must stay at the airport. Now, united says the passenger was belligerent. One of the Security Officers has been placed on leave and, robin, in the fine print when you buy a ticket this is part of the contract. It is perfectly legal for the airline to tell you even if youre in a seat to get off. Many dont know that. Well talk to dan about. Dan abrams joins us and talk about that in a moment. First, whats going on here . The ceo i dont know why hes making this statement, right. United is getting so caught up in the issue that david just raised which is its our legal right to refuse someone access to the plane or even to remove them from the plane. Thats not the point. The point is the world is watching that video and saying, wait a second. Could that be me . All right. And as a result, the response from United Airlines ought to just be this is horrible. This is terrible. This is awful and this wont happen again. Thats it. I mean from a pr perspective and, again, pr in legal do end up intersectioning, it is not smart for him to at this point simply be saying we did nothing wrong. We did nothing wrong, we did nothing wrong. Another legal issue of the man who was scuffed up, we saw him bleeding. Could he possibly file a lawsuit. Lets talk about the legal issues involved. If theres a lawsuit, it likely is against actually the Police Department. More than united because, again, united does have the legal right to refuse someone access or even to ask someone to leave a plane. The people who pulled him off the plane were not United Airlines employees. That was the Police Department doing that. And a member of the Police Department, the Aviation Police have already been put on leave as a result of those actions. Now, could there be a lawsuit against united . Absolutely. Will they throw in the fact that it was employees of united who were taking those seats instead of passengers, absolutely. But the fact that united couldnt take care of it itself and had to call the police for Something Like that, that could be another issue. Talk about the legal stance. People are not aware of what rights and the rights that they dont have when theyre boarding. There is a passenger bill of rights, right . If you are one of those people in an overbooking situation who has refused access tore told to leave a plane youre entitled to not just some coupons but entitled to cash and theres specific amounts of money youre entitled to in addition to getting to the location youre going to. This is far from over. It is far from over in particular as a result of what the united ceo said. Lets see if they settle. Amy here with the other top stories and more news out of russia. Authorities have arrested eight people now in connection with a subway bombing in st. Petersburg, russia, last week. The suspects are linked to a terror cell they say and storing weapons and police are looking into whether the bomber identified as a 22yearold Russian National trained with isis in syria. Back here in this country alabama is under new management. The Lieutenant Governor is taking over following the resignation of Robert Bentley who pleaded guilty to using public money when he was governor to cover up an affair with a top aide. The 74yearold will have to pay back that money and fines but will avoid jail time. Well, a maryland supermarket is investigating how a live scorpion got into a bag of spinach bought by a couple who posted this video of it. This comes just days after a bat was found inside a bag of salad in florida that prompted a recall. And it was a terrifying scene at a fair in paris as a woman, look at this, fell out of the harness on this bungee ride and dangled in the air with just her boots and you can see that her head was just inches from the ground as she swung back and forth seven times before workers finally stopped her.

But now to that nationwide manhunt for the suspect accused of robbing a gun store and sending a 161page manifesto to the president and his family sending an urgent warning as Police Release new images of him and abcs Adrienne Bankert has new details. Reporter overnight authorities releasing photos of the wisconsin mans tattoos. And saying their 10,000 reward still stands for any information leading to his arrest. This morning, the family of joseph jakubowski, the armed and dangerous fugitive accused of robbing a gun store and sending a lengthy and angry manifesto to President Trump speaking out. Jakubowskis stepfather who did not want to be shown on camera tells us his stepson is on a selfdetruck tiff spiral. Im afraid hes trying to commit suicide by cop myself. Reporter on monday officers swarming jakubowskis last known address talking to family members and are seen carrying evidence away from the house. This as we learn new details of exactly what is contained in that 161page handwritten manifesto. A document janesville Officials Say did reach the white house telling us it it expresses calculated outrage accusing police and the government of enslaving people. The manifesto theyll look for clues. May not be direct but there may be enough information to narrow down potential attack sites. Reporter police tell us jakubowski was previously arrested and convicted for trying to disarm an officer. And they allege that a week ago he robbed a gunshop stealing multiple weapons. Officers say he then set his own car on fire. Game time. Reporter but it was this video originally posted on facebook a week before the robbery that shined a light on jakubowskis plans. Revolution. Its time for change. Reporter but its those closest to jakubowski including those heard in the video who could be key to this case. Though there are still questions about their involvement. Weve learned that the person on the other side of the camera from that video has been interviewed multiple times by local authorities though he is not considered a suspect. And it is a lot of jakubowskis associates who are helping provide information to Law Enforcement. Adrienne, thank you very much. Joining us from janesville is the police chief there david moore and rock county Cheever Robert spoden. Chief moore, where does the investigation stand right now in finding this man . We have many assets here in wisconsin, many federal asset, f fbi, atf, we have over 542 leads that were following up on. This is the largest footprint of Law Enforcement that we have seen in the janesville and rock county area probably forever and were following up on every lead we get from our citizens in the community. I know you guys are working around the clock. Sheriff spoden, was there any particular are you learning was there any particular incident or anything that set this guy off . Well, hes had a long history of runins with local police. He actually was arrested for trying to disarm an officer. He has had a history of traffic citations, but as far as this, what we have found is that this is something that really occurred in the last few months where he kind of went in a totally different direction and started really speaking about revolution and things such as that. Right, and that manifesto of his that he was targeting schools and government officials and, chief moore, we know janesville is the home of the speaker of the house, paul ryan. Is there extra concern about his security and what other potential targets concerning you, sir . Well, certainly our concerns are with the speaker and his family. Weve been working very closely with u. S. Capitol police which is his security detail to assure his safety. With regard to the manifesto, there seems to be two themes that concern us, one is antireligion and one is antigovernment. So, with respect to those two specific themes, we have put practices in place and patrols in place to secure our government areas and as well religious places of worship and those types of things. And, sheriff, we heard from the stepfather who said that his stepson is willing to die in a gun fight with officers. How do you prepare your force for Something Like that . Possibly . Well, obviously when we became aware of what he wanted to do, all of our officers took measures and so, yeah, this while it is concerning it is not that surprised based upon his actions. We believe, though, that he has a plan in place that, you know, what we saw was well thought out. What he wrote, the document he wrote was a well written document and he put a lot of effort into that document. So, what we think is that theres some end game. Were not sure what that is. It might involve having some type of an altercation with the Law Enforcement community. Were hopeful thats not going to be the case but our officers as well as our federal partners are very much aware of this and were prepared to deal with any type of situation that he presents. I know that you are. Gentlemen, thank you very much. Our thoughts and concerns with everybody there and thank you for your time this morning. We appreciate it. Thank you. You take care.

Trainee who died during a pool exercise is taking on the navys decision not tot an instructor in the death. Amy here with the story in the family of 21yearold lovelace telling abc news they plan to take legal action of the navy decided his tragic death was not the result of a crime. His sister says she is appalled by the decision. Sick to our stomach. Reporter navy s. E. A. L. Trainee James Derek Lovelace was in his first week of elite s. E. A. L. Training last may when he drowned during combat swimmer orientation, an exercise requiring trainees to tread water in full fatigues and boots while wearing a mask filled with water. Similar to the drill seen in this video. The navy s. E. A. L. Training is among the most dangerous and the most dif services. The washout rate is around 80 . Reporter at the time of lovelaces death, the medical examiner ruled it drowning. Saying while some could consider his death an accident, the actions and inactions of the instructors and other individuals involved were excessive and directly contributed to the death if his mates reached out to this certain instruc a lot of dunking, just seemed like everything was focused on derek in the pool that day. Reporter now new documents investigation providing eyewitness accounts from the day of lovelaces death. Fellow trainees reporting the victims face turned purple as he attempted to stay afloat while an instructor dunked him and put a lot of pressure on him both verbal and physical. According to training regulations dunking and holding a student underwater is strictly forbidden but adverse conditions like yelling and splashing are permitted to create stress and high intensity. The only way to figure out what went on is to file a lawsuit against the government and the instructor and take that position and see, you know, what actually happened. Reporter overnight the navy telling abc news its determined lovelaces death was not the result of a crime. But adding no loss of life in training is an acceptable loss. Words of little solace for lovelaces family. Derek deserved more than this. Derek deserved honor. All i want is this man behind bars. Thats all i want. Reporter now following his death it was found that lovelace had a preexisting heart condition though it is unclear what, if any, role it played in his death. Its really hard to understand how this happened but the navy does emphasize that the training has to be as close to real warfare as it can be. The navy told us overnight while it tries to provide the most realistic and relevant training possible to honor those who have fallen in training we must effectively mitigate the risks of that training. It is a balancing act and unfortunately in lovelaces situation it didnt end up well at all. Sure didnt. Thinking about that family. We are. Over to michael. All right, coming up on our big board, how well do those fitness trackers monitor your heart . They work really well or do they not . We have a new report raising big questions.

Jesse palmer, t. J. Holmes at the table which means i have to grow a beard. Im just following along. Following along. Thats right. Well start out with warping for anybody who uses a fitbit or any fitness tracker a new report reveries they may not be as accurate as you think. These are wildly popular as you know and for tracking your steps and other things pretty good for heart rate Everybody Needs to be aware. This is a major study and what they found these things can be wildly off when it comes to exercising and measuring your heart rate. When youre sitting it does a pretty good job of your resting heart rate but when you are exercising is when a lot of people use these things they can be and what they found consistently between 20 and 40 beats per minute. Thats a big deal if youre looking down thinking im good but its actually 40 beats in both directs. It can flukt wait so that can be an issue. Explanation of why so inaccurate. Its weird how they work. It uses l. E. D. L reflect the light off your skin to measure the blood volume to see what your heart rate. Sounds complicated but thats fine when youre sitting and resting, ru sweating and all these factors are coming into play so it can be off.

Hallelujah there we go. Robin, id like to think im ahead of my time. You are. We got to break it down because amy has the morning rundown. We begin with Rex Tillerson call out russia as he braces for tense talks in moscow. This morning tillerson said russia must choose whether it wants to align itself with the u. S. And other likeminded cups or embrace syrian dictator Bashar Al Assad one week after that chemical weapon attack on civilians. Tillerson did not accuse russia of knowing about the attack in advance but he did accuse moscow of not fulfilling its promise to rid syria of those weapons. Stockpiles and continued use demonstrate that russia has failed in its responsibility to deliver on its 01 commitment. It is unclear whether russia failed to take this obligation seriously or russia has been incompetent. But this distinction doesnt much matter to the dead. We cant let that happen again. Tillerson said the u. S. Sees no role for assad in syrias future but said he will not make assumptions about how assads rape will end. It remains unclear whether tillerson will meet with Vladimir Putin this week. Classes are canceled at the california Elementary School where a teacher and a student were shot and killed on monday.

You have much more on this, amy. Thats right. Its called passing the trash. Moving teachers while hiding their alleged misconduct and its allowed some badome repeat. For over a decade chelsea kept her harrowing memories about Joseph Koetters private. You told no one what was going on. I hated myself. I hated myself. And it was my fault. You know. You blamed yourself. 100 . Reporter it wasnt until years after graduating from a prestigious all girls school in los angeles chelsea found the courage to report her abuse prompting the school to launch an investigation into koetters which found a longheld pattern. Youre stepping forward for the first time. Why are you doing that . I cant describe it other than, you know, feeling so viscerally what i went through and wanting so viscerally to not let anyone else go through it. Reporter the department of education estimates that 4. 5 Million Students experience Sexual Misconduct at the hands of school employees, sometime between kindergarten and 12th grade. Another government report found that in its study on average one Child Predator in schools had as many as 73 victims. Sometimes without ever being caught. Its referred to as passing the trash when administrators unload problematic teachers onto other schools by hiding alleged misconduct through confidential agreements and other means enabling them to look for other jobs as teachers. Theres no way to know how pervasive it is. Reporter in a yearlong investigation by usa today reporter steve riley, he found that despite laws in most states requiring schools to report suspected child abuse it was extremely rare for administrators to be held criminally accountable for turning a blind eye to teacher misconduct. Once he started abusing me j very quickly. Reporter chelly believes koetters is another exam of what it is to pass the trash now alleging in a civil suit his was a pattern of bad behavior that began when he taught at another private school in the area. In 2015 he pled guilty to four counts of sexual abuse and received a oneyear jail sentence. Itll never be okay. Never be right but i dont feel like i have to hide anymore. Reporter now both schools issued statements to abc. The school that previously employed him said he was terminated in 199 9 for shoving a student. The high school chelsea attended denied knowing about his Sexual Misconduct until 2014 after chelsea and another alum came forward. He resigned voluntarily just a year before in 2013.

Joining us now veteran psychoanalyst parenting coach mother of three Erica Komisar sparking a debate with a new book called being there. She says mothers should stay home with their kids for the first three years and as we were just saying, boy, i would have loved to as a working mom. It was not an option. Why did you decide to bright this book. Well, i wrote it because i felt as a society we had devalued mothering and we were really failing our children. And as a parent guidance expert i was seeing an increasing number of really epidemic level of children with emotional problems such as adhd, increased aggression, behavioral problems and social disorders and i was livinging them in my practice to the absence of mothers. But for me im sitting here thinking, oh, great, you know, it doesnt warm our hearts because some of us have to work. So, what do you say to dont have that luxury of being there for the first three years. So, the book a little deceiv in that the book really isnt about working versus nonworkingt word was chosen very carefully, prioritizing your children in the first three years whether youre a working mom or a no re being present. Butting that phone down. All right. Helps. All right. Now people in the audience are like, uh ideal world we wan be there as much as possible but theres reality and women have to work is thny studies that be working mom is a great example that youre showing your u showing your sons are o having to get involved a little bit more. Isnt that also a great thing . So, the first three years are what we call the critical period of Brain Development for heir mothers there emotionally and physically as much as possible, i say in the book more is more. Ically available you can be in the first three years the better off your children will be. What about the later years . What about the teenage years when so many feel like they matter too. And, i a worm hole between toddlehood and adolescence so adolescence is another period of Brain Development, another critical window of Brain Development where the brain is growing and being pruned so its never too late. Oh, i love that. Never too late. We have some audience members. A lot of people talking about. I understand you have a question. Yes, maam. Tell me where does dads fit intn for mom . Good question. Good question. [ cheers and applause ] so, i dads. Dads are critical but theyre not exactly the same as moms. So studies have shown research has really shown moms and dads when they nurture as primary care givers both produce oxytocin, a brain hormone, a love hormone, if you will. But it has a different effect on women and men. It makes mothers more empathic and sensitive nurturers and make fathers more playful and stress sort of encouraging resilience in children, so and theyre very different and in fact you want to emphasize the sensitive nurturing so we want to teach dads to be moreempathic towards children. Thank you so much. Being there is the n careful joe, theyve got you outnumbered. The dinosaurs extinction. Dont listen to them. Not appropriate. Now im mashing these potatoes with my stick of butter.

Reporter joined by a bearded Robert Pattinson as fawcetts loneliness and to reflect his isolation by cutting himself off from all communication while shooting in colombia. He would go on these grand heroic explorations into the jungle for three or four years in at a time and have no contact with his family at home.
