Trying to craft a new version of Obamacare Repeal by tomorrow but it is going slow. We have new polls this morning showing the public just isnt buying it. More on that in a moment. First to that tornado threat out of the midwest. More than two dozen reported twisters tearing across four states. Abcs alex perez starts us off in wisconsin. Good morning, alex. Reporter ray, good morning, robin. A lot of the damage happened after dark so many people are just now getting a chance to assess what happened. Now, that powerful storm ripped right through this garage tearing down the walls and sucking this big truck out, flipping it over. [ sirens ] hurry, tornado. Reporter dangerous twisters tearing through the heartland. I think its coming this way. Reporter 26 reported tornadoes touching down across four states wednesday from iowa to wisconsin. Oh, its hitting the ground now. Reporter the storming bringing massive hail. Toppling trees and destroying homes. This is, you know, fury of nature type of stuff. Reporter one family it hit like that. Reporter narrowly escaping. This morning the massive cleanup under way. Crews working to clear roads and help those who lost everything. Just like the world had ended. Reporter this as wildfires wreak havoc in the west. More than a dozen structures destroyed in southern utah. Ask you guys to all leave. Reporter the goodwin fire in arizona quadrupling in size on wednesday. Firefighters forced to pull back for fear of their safety. So the cleanup here is just getting started. But to complicate things many parts of the midwest today bracing for another round of strong storms. George. Okay, alex, thanks very much. We want to get more on those wildfires out west. Rob marciano has that. Reporter 40 of them so expanding this and hot and dry conditions across the Intermountain West and red flag warnings still in effect. Some of that energy is now in the plains where we got the Severe Weather yesterday. And thats where were going to have the Severe Weather today. A severe thunderstorm watch out for much of northern kansas and a Flash Flood Watch out for kansas city and parts of missouri and the threat extends today across the plains and tomorrow its going to actually get into the great lakes and getting closer to the Holiday Weekend so may impact the plans of our viewers. Rob, thank you. Now to that breaking news. One of the popes top advisers facing Sexual Assault charges this morning. Cardinal george pell, the highest ranked vatican official ever to face these accusations. Our Foreign CorrespondentJames Longman has that story for us. Good morning, james. Reporter good morning, robin. Yes, a Stunning Development overnight. The man considered the third highest ranking official in the Catholic Church is charged with multiple counts of Sexual Assault. George pell is a senior cardinal from australia and is in charge of vatican finances which makes him a close adviser to the pope. We dont have much detail yet of the allegations but they do go back to his time as a young priest. Cardinal pell firing back criticizing what he calls a relentless character assassination adding the whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me. Now, in his official statement he says hes looking forward to his day in court and will defend the charges vigorously. Police have instructed him to appear in court on july 19th. As a member of the popes upper circle this is potentially the biggest scandal to face the current papacy but pope francis indicated his support and given Cardinal Pell leave in order to face trial. The pope has asked everyone including the media to withhold judgment but this is a big test for him. Reporter his reaction is going to be under huge scrutiny. Many just feel that the vatican has not done enough to deal with this problem. The world will be watching, robin. It will, james, thanks. Were following several stories out of washington. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell trying to reach consensus on Obamacare Repeal hoping for a vote but few signs hes picking up the support he needs. House set to vote on two new bills and President Trump will hold his first meeting with south koreans president and how to deal with north korea at the top of the agenda. New developments in the russell investigation. One of President Trumps closest personal aides is now facing questions. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega here with the details. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter good morning. This probe is widening. Investigators are now looking at the president s inner circle. As you said one of the people they now want to talk to is one of the president s closest aides. He is President Trumps longtime former bodyguard turned Top White House aide. Such close ties he has an office right next to the oval office. And this morning, abc news has learned Keith Schiller is now on the list of witnesses that House Intelligence Committee investigators want to talk to as part of their probe into possible ties between team trump and the russians. Schiller did not respond to a request for comment. But sources close to the investigation tell abc news people on that witness list have been notified. Schiller has known President Trump for nearly two decades. A former new York City Police officer who is now director of oval office operations, the president assigning him such tasks as hand delivering the letter to fbi headquarters that told former director james comey hed been fired. He is rarely heard from publicly. But he is nearly always by the president s side, known for being fiercely protective. During the campaign schiller was seen hitting a protester outside trump tower. Stop it reporter he was at the center of this now infamous moment. Excuse me, sit down. You are werent called. Sit down. I have the right to ask the question. Reporter after just a look from his boss, it was schiller who ushered univision anchor jorge ramos out of that news conference. Dont touch me, sir. Dont touch me. You cannot touch me. Reporter one white house official here tells me theyre not surprised to learn schillers name was on this list, in fact, several white house officials here expect that their names could end up on this list too, george, as this russia probe continues. Do we have any idea who those officials will be . Reporter well, george, were learning a little bit more as this investigation moves forward. We know that investigators want to talk to, for example, the president s soninlaw jared kushner, we know that they want to talk to his longtime friend roger stone. This is essentially a witness list, thats what this is and as this investigation moves forward, more names are being added to it. Expected to get wider. Thanks very much. George, more now on the health care showdown. The senate scrambling to draft a new version by tomorrow before leaving for the july 4th recess. President trump is predicting a great result. Mary bruce is tracking it all for us on capitol hill. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. Well, republican leader Mitch Mcconnell is hoping to have a revised version by tomorrow but this morning its still unclear what parts are being tweaked and whether this will be enough to turn some of those no votes into yeses. Overnight the president got a harsh greeting as he arrived at his d. C. Hotel. [ chanting ]. He dropped by a fundraiser for his reelection campaign. As he eyes four more years that promise of his first term to repeal and replace obamacare is stalled on capitol hill. Health care is working along very well. Reporter Republican Leaders are still optimistic but still facing opposition from within. At least Nine Senate Republicans are opposed to the current bill. Not to mention all of the senate democrats. But thats not stopping the president from predicting a surprise victory. We could have a big surprise with a Great Health Care package. So now theyre happy. What do you mean by big surprise . I think youll have a great surprise. Reporter the real surprise would be if republicans are able to pull this off. Gop senators ive talked with who are still opposed are on the fence say they dont know if they can get it done and if they cant, well, there is growing talk up here of the b word. They may have to do a bipartisan deal. Robin. All right. And also, of course, the president is focusing on his travel ban and know parts will go into effect today. Reporter yeah, thats right. Part of his travel ban will be going into effect today and comes after the Supreme Court earlier this week finally upheld some parts of the ban. Thank you. More from our chief White House Correspondent jon karl. Lets begin with the russia investigation. Now reaching deeper and wider into the white house. This is still very much the beginning as it continues to grow, much more difficult for the white house to wall off the investigation from the rest of their work. Reporter and its cast a shadow over the entire west wing. The fact that schiller is now on that witness list is a reminder that virtually all of the president s senior aides at some point are going to be touched by this investigation. Even those who arent even accused of any wrongdoing whatsoever will have to come in, testify. That means its going to take time, a distraction and, george, legal bill, lots of legal bills, a shadow not just over the current senior staff but those they want to bring in who are having second thoughts about whether or not they want to be dragged that this. I lived through that in the 90s. Even when youre just a witness it costs you a fair amount of money, could be even tens of thousands of dollars. Lets talk about health care. A lot of new polls coming out showing how weak that senate bill s a couple up now. Three new polls all showing support for the Republicans Health care bill, one as low as 12 according to usa today will make mcconnells job so much more difficult. Reporter absolutely and another recent poll from fox news which has the number a little bit higher at 27 Approval Rating for the republican plan but look at this, george. 52 , a majority of the country now saying in that fox news poll they view obamacare possley. So its a tough political environment here. They still believe they have a chance to get this passed. But they really need to come to an agreement at least in the outlines of what the bill will finally be to get those wavering republicans on board by tomorrow. The president promising a big surprise. Any idea what hes talking about . Reporter i think the surprise hes talking about is winning, is victory on this bill. Getting this bill passed in the senate and, george, at this point that would be a surprise. It would be a surprise. Meantime, the president is meeting with the south korean president tonight. It comes as his National Security adviser suggests the president asked him to draw up new military options to take on north korea. Reporter thats right. The president himself has asked for the options and its a much more difficult challenge now because the North Koreans as their Missile Program has advanced, they can now launch missiles with a much shorter setup so much less time to react so what the president has told his National Security team is that he wants a new set of options including military options which they, of course, hope it will never come to because there are no really there is no good military option on the korean peninsula. None at all. Okay, jon karl, thanks very much. George, we have more now on the new security measures affecting thousands of flights heading to the u. S. The department of Homeland Security announcing enhanced screening for passengers and electronics. Abcs david kerley has the details and, david, this morning the airlines are warning this could, of course, lead to significant delays. Reporter theyre talking about that and actually how much it will cost as well, robin. This is all about terrorists who learned how to put explosives in Electronic Devices and sneak them through security. The u. S. Was considering expanding the laptop ban. Instead theyre requiring much tighter security from any airline that wants to fly into the u. S. Overnight airlines grumbling about the new stricter screening requirements the u. S. Is demanding for any jet headed to america. Passengers will see more dog units, explosives swabbing and new hightech scanning machines in foreign airports. The fear terrorists have learned to hide them in Electronic Devices. We saw it in africa. Our enemies are currently working to find new methods for disguising explosive, recruiting insiders and hijacking aircraft. Reporter the u. S. Is basically setting a new global standard for airport screening. Rather than expanding that laptop ban on eight middle eastern and eight african nations and so it will have to be used by every Airline Flying to the u. S. That covers 280 airports, 180 airlines, 2,000 flights and 325,000 passengers a day. Al qaeda and isis bombmakers have spent considerable time seeking to better understand Airport Security and find ways to build bombs that can get past it. Reporter while the International AirlineAssociation Hopes to minimize the cost to airlines, the u. S. Airline association says, there should have been more consultation to avoid operational disruptions which it says are likely. Now, the airlines are being given a few weeks to implement some of these new restrictions. And a few months for others. Their kind of complaining its a very short time line, robin. What about the laptop ban already in effect at some airports . Reporter yeah, dhs, Homeland Security is saying if those airlines and those airports can meet these new Higher Standards theyre going to lift the laptop ban on those airports and airlines. Interesting, all right, david, thank you. We turn to an investigation into what set off an explosion at a college dorm in kentucky. As you can see much of the building at Murray State University was gutted. A University Employee who was injured is thankfully in stable condition. No students were inside because its summer break. Authorities say a preliminary investigation indicates a gas leak may be to blame investigating whether foul play was involved. We move to a Major Development in that case that made National Headlines last year when orred protesters occupied a National Wildlife refuge. An fbi agent is now facing charges accused of lying about the deadly encounter. Clayton sandell is in denver with the story. Good morning, clayton. Reporter and good morning, george. The fbi tells us that agent is no longer working on the bureaus elite hostage rescue team. Hes been reassigned after a shooting he says didnt happen. This morning an alleged lie and an fbi agent facing criminal charges. You want my blood on your hands . Reporter stemming from this attempt to arrest Robert Lavoy Finicum during a takeover at a wildlife refuge. They flee and nearly hit a roadblock. Thats when investigators say fbi agent w. Joseph astarita fires twice missing him as he gets out his hands up a bullet tearing through the truck. But astarita, a member of the fbis elite hostage rescue team, allegedly told investigators he never pulled the trigger. The actions of the fbi hrt in this case damaged the integrity of the entire Law Enforcement profession. Which makes me both disappointed and angry. Reporter seconds later state troopers shot and killed finicum saying he reached for a gun. Finicums wife says my husband was shot in the back three times and should have been afforded his own due process before they killed him. The coverup is worse than the crime because the agent would not have been prosecuted for taking a shot if he felt that that vehicle driven by finicum was a danger to the public. Reporter now what is still not clear is why astarita allegedly lied. Prosecutors say that will come out in court. The agent faces five felony counts in all and pleaded not guilty. Five counts. There were other members of the team. Whats going on with them . Reporter yeah, thats right. There were four other members of the team who were there. The sheriff who investigated the case says the fbi told him that those agents were not disciplined. The sheriff says that is disappointing, george. Okay, clayton, thanks very much.

It has been ten years now since the iphone came out. Can you believe that. No way. Apple says it sold more than a billion phones since 2007. I have purchased about half of those billion. First we begin with that startling confession from a former nfl star. Redskins running back Clinton Portis earning more than 40 million on the gridiron but life after football led to bankruptcy and almost drove him to murder. Jesse palmer is here with that story. Good morning, jess. Good morning. With more than 2,000 carries over nine seasons he signed what was then the largest contract for a running back in nfl history. But just a year after his retirement, he found himself drowning in so much financial trouble that he was considering murder. Once a star nfl running back for the Washington Redskins touchdown. Reporter he rushed straight into a 43 million fortune he displayed on cribs. You like the shower. Heres a good shower. Reporter in a new Sports Illustrated article, portis revealing the life of luxury all came crashing down in 2015 when he filed for bankruptcy of his fury turning on his former business advisers getting so upset he says he was ready to take the life of one of 9 men who he says mismanaged his money. Portis went so far as to wait for the man outside a d. C. Office building, gun in hand. He thought that they had taken away his ability to poi for his family and felt that they were not paying any consequences for that. He felt for those few nights that he would have to take it into his own hands. Reporter the 35yearold revealing he was talked off the ledge by a friend who told him over the phone to turn his car around saying youve already lost but the loss you would sustain by killing someone would be greater. His friend reminded him of his sons, of his family, of the people who loved him and that he had so much to lose. Reporter edge rein james, the former colts star said the 35yearold was too generous plunking down credit cards for strangers and supporting too many friends and family. Portis says the biggest regret is trusting people with my money. He wishes he had put money in the bank instead. Clinton portis tells abc news that dark days are behind. The future is looking bright and Sports Illustrated tells us that portis is truly content finding happiness and value in family and relationships. His story can be found in the latest issue of Sports Illustrateds where are they now . Issue. We bring in darren rovell. All right. Yes, he made some mistakes financially. Well give you that. But it is so much more than mishandling finances. You believe that pro athletes like clinton are targets for crooks. Absolutely. Listen, their salaries are public, right . So thats out there. We know that theyre coming from backgrounds where theyre not coming from money and they dont have the financial education. So people are going to go after them and say, this is a way to get money quick. And, unfortunately, these stories are happening over and over again. We keep telling these stories and yet people dont learn. Until its your own situation, you dont learn. Im not even going to begin to list the many athletes and the many different sports leagues. What can the leagues, can they do anything . Should they be doing more to help . Right now id say they need to back off because and this is a weird thing. The nfl has an nfl Financial Adviser program. Thats through the union and the whole idea about this was lets help them and say these are the Financial Advisors that we approve through our program. The problem is that some of these Financial Advisers have been the same guys that are part of this fraud. So they say, okay, lets look at the list of people who are approved by the nfl p. A. , by the Players Union and those guys are using that as an opportunity maybe theyve never done fraud before but now theyre using it as an opportunity to say, hey, were approved and now the players will kind of theres the aaffirmation so i think its very tough. I think the players have to say, never sign over power of attorney somewhere someone can write a check for you. Theres got to be some steps. They got to do a better job. We have to understand the average playing career for professional sports is very short. Three years. Clinton portis got, what, nine years. A 17 Million Contract and yet he still looked at his bank account one day and saw 150. Also the athletes have to take some of the responsibility. Absolutely. Cannot put the blame completely on them. You look at how he spent on things. He had 400,000 in gambling debts when he filed for bankruptcy. All right, darren, good to see you. Thank you. Coming up here check this out.

We are back with that Close Encounter in colorado where a woman pulled into her garage, came facetoface with a black bear. There it is. T. J. Holmes with the video. Hey there, this video is a little scary at times. Fascinating. Even funny when you hear some of her commentary. I want you to keep in mind this bear is essentially signing its own death warrant because its displaying behavior in which its so unfazed by human beings that wildlife officials consider it too great of a risk. Aagh. Oh, my reporter this is the moment danielle back trom realized she has an uninvited guest. Kind of open my door and the bear was right there. Freakin bear, get out of my garage. Reporter she just pulled into her colorado garage tuesday when this 400pound black bear followed her inside. At one point it even climbs up on her car and starts sniffing around. Shoo, bear, shoo. I quickly hop back in my car, keys are in there, i roll up the window as fast as i can. Reporter the mom tries to scare it off and makes some noise, even tries to nudge it out by backing up the car. The bear barely even notices as you can see in her cars rear view camera. I cant go because theres a bear behind me. Come on, bear. Move. Reporter the bear eventually runs away. She calls wildlife authorities to report the sighting. Go away, bear. Oh, my god. Reporter officials think the bear is the same one seen here just one day earlier eating ice cream from a nearby garage. They say this video highlights a growing problem. Its not cute. Its eating my ice cream. Reporter that by leaving food so easily accessible the bears forget to fear humans and the repercussions could be deadly. This bear has clearly learned that people can provide food and that garages are a place that it can find food and unfortunately when that happens, you know, it can make the situation dangerous. We see some of these Close Encounters and we play them, again, the woman was kind of funny. This is a serious matter to wildlife officials. That bear was about 400 pounds. It should be around 120 and 300. Its clear its not eating out in its natural environment. People are leaving out and its eating things it shouldnt be eating. This is one of the keys. You have to keep a wild animal wild and do it by making sure you put things up and animals cant get to the stuff around your house. Makes sense. Thank you.

Good morning, rebecca. Back now with our big board and that fast and furious star, one of the most successful franchise 234z film history could be losing one of its star. That would be Michelle Rodriguez threatening to quit unless purchases give her more of a role and Larry Hackett here to talk about it. You have the first details. This is a very big deal. This franchise has raked in more than 5 billion in the last decade but now one of its biggest stars, Michelle Rodriguez, taking to instagram saying its time to show some love to the women threatening to leave if they dont. You should be watching from the side. I wouldnt want to get any exhaust on that pretty face. How about you put your money where your mouth is. Reporter the no nonsense female phenom but Michelle Rodriguez threatening to pull away. See ya. Reporter apparently over the franchises treatment of women. The high octane actress writing on instagram i hope they decide to show some love to the women of the franchise on the next one or i just might have to say goodbye. Fighting words from the actress who said she once had to fight filmmakers to allow her character to throw a punch in a maledriven brawl. What is it going to be . Reporter during his final week of filming last year, dwayne the rock johnson taking to facebook expressing his loyalty to his female costars touting their professionalism on set calling them always amazing. As for rodriguez, shes hoping her star power can turn the wheels of change. And there are a lot of people rooting for her this morning. Rodriguez explaining in a recent interview that the imbalance of power weighs heavily on her mind not just because of her role but the diminished roles of other female actresses in the franchise and says the only leverage i have as an individual is my participation. As an actor thats your leverage. It is. She wasnt specific in what her concerns were. What do you think. Im not surprised. Shes not going to start saying i need seven more lines but the interaction she finds embarrassing. The times they speak to each other about something other than a man and this movie fails that. Shes been in it with 16 years with another character and the times shes said something to her is five times. The fact of the matter is these movies can change. Theyre not just testosterone parades. Wonder woman being a case in point. Starring in the fast and furious franchise, its a great idea and i think shes put the studio and filmmakers on their heels. What would happen if she left . I dont want to say conclusively but probably not much. Paul walker who was one of the costars died in 2013 and the now movies are making more money than theyve ever made. This wouldnt be just about her character leaving but about the circumstances of her character leaving. All this attention now being paid. If she walks away from the franchise because the filmmakers in her mind were unwilling or unable to give meaningful roles or lines to women within these kind of comic book settings thats not a good thing. You bring up wonder woman and thats a good point. It wasnt just a powerful female cast but the director as well. You would think hollywood would want to jump on a bandwagon. It was a huge success in the box office. More successful than a number of other superhero flips that have done quite well. There was unbelievable pressure on wonder woman. Patty jenkins, the director and filmmaker talked about the unbelievable pressure she felt in making this film a success. The fact that it was successful means very likely were going to see a sequel and pore follow because we know now there is interest. If there are consumers there will be films for them. But you point to a broader issue here. Usa today has a statistic in the paper, 149 movies coming out next year. 92 are directed by men. The fact of the matter is it is 92. Incredibly male dominated business and while there is success in this particular franchise, i think Michelle Rodriguez is being very smart. Shes not going to have this podium forever. She wont be in a billion dollar franchise forever. Seems like shes using it for something beyond money. Talking about the way women are portrayed in the film. There are women in the films like Charlize Theron and helen mirren has joined the cast so theres some consciousness of that but she says just because these are kind of action movies and what takes place is a fantasy it doesnt mean portrayals of women can be equally as simplistic. Its how theyre portrayed. Thank you both very much. Dwayne johnson giving us a sneak peek at the brandnew jumanji. Gma health alert. Incredibly painful knee condition millions of teens face.

Media mogul Shonda Rhimes speaking out about how losing 150 pounds led to some unwanted attention. Nightline anchor and good friend juju chang is here with that. Good morning, guys. She is a hollywood powerhouse and says she hates talking about weight loss and hated every second of the process but once she lost the pounds what she found is perhaps the opposite of body shaming, the queen of shondaland says she was stunned by how differently the overweight shonda was treated than skinny shonda. Shes the brains behind some of the most powerful women on television. Because a woman in power is a nasty woman. Reporter now Shonda Rhimes, the tv titan behind megahits like urbanski scan and greys anatomy opening up about her personal weight loss in her new essay on shonn dap land. Com, it was how people treated her afterwards. Women i barely knew gushed and men, they spoke to me. They spoke to me like stood still and had long conversations. These people suddenly felt completely comfortable talking to me about my body. Telling me i looked pretty or that they were proud of me. When i was fat, i wasnt a person to these people. Like i had been an invisible woman who suddenly materialized in front of them. Poof, there i am. Thin and ready for a chat. I met up with rhimes back in 2015 to talk about the life changes she made to conquer her fears. Say yes to things that freaked me out. We talked about the event that forced her to examine her weight. I tried to buckle the airplane seat belt it would not buckle. And i remember feeling horrified. You can call the stewardess and say, hey, this doesnt fit. Can i have a seat belt extender. What do you say to people when they want to know . You lost 127 pounds. By me your secret. I realized that i work really hard in every other area of my life. Why wouldnt i throw myself into being healthy and losing weight . Reporter but now she writes these days i feel like a chunky spy in a thinner world. Strangers tell fat jokes in front of me. Jokes not meant for me but completely for the woman i used to be 150 pounds ago. The woman i could be again one day. The woman i will always be inside. Because being thinner doesnt make you a different person. It just makes you thinner. Shonda says she is calling out what some people call sizism, not as a scolding but a call for empathy to create a window of kindness and sisterhood for someone would needs it. Our senior medical editor dr. Jen ashton, we wanted to talk to you. You are Board Certified in obesity medicine. Youre not surprised by the things that shonda wrote about. Unfortunately, not at all. There is an obesity tig minot just in society and Popular Culture but in the place you want it and please expect it, the medical profession from doctor, nurse, dietitians down to medical students who tend to some of them perceive people who are overweight or obese as unintelligent, unmotivated, lazy, et cetera, et cetera, and not only is that unkind, but its medically dangerous because then those people who perceive that stigma may be more likely to skip or delay medical treatment and that is particularly true for obese or overweight women. Get the facts right. Get the facts right. Dont just make those kind of judgments like that. What can we do to change this . You said it. We have to base this on facts and science and the science and biology clearly state that we know that the brains of people who are overweight are different. They produce different hormonal signals that affects our hunger, metabolism. This is a medical issue, it is not a social judgment. Quickly if somebody wants to lose a significant amount of weight, what do you suggest . Take a head to toe approach. Really holistically and start with the emotions and work your way down the body. Its a marathon, not a sprint. Goat is better health, not smaller size and big differs in pedicle condition can be made with saul amounts of weight loss. If you can, get a whole team of support around you which at many clinics and centers luckily exists. Thanks so much. Now weve got that Important Health alert for parents about youth sports and knee injuries and, paula, youre going to take a closer look. Good morning again. The millions suffering are experiencing excruciating pain and while rest, its really the best medicine, some kids are choosing to play right through that pain which can lead to a worrisome pattern. 16yearold tiffany lynn loves soccer. And its been that way since she was a little girl. So this is ten years ago when she first started playing soccer. Yes. This is tiffany. One day, tuesday and thursdays i have practice. And then on the weekends i have either games or tournaments for my travel club. In addition i usually play a recreational an fridays and games on the weekends. Reporter a grueling schedule that started taking a toll on tiffanys growing body. You started noticing some severe pains. When did those pains start . I would say around middle school but it wasnt severe until high school. Was your pain ever so extreme you couldnt play soccer. Yes. Reporter thats when she ended up here at the hospital for special surgery in new york city with dr. Brett toursdahl and shocking diagnosis. To determine she is osgood schlodder disease, the bone at the top of the shin becomes painful and inflamed because part of the bone that is still growing becomes dislodged and by the tendon pulling hard on that part of the knee. It looks like its swollen. Is that the syndrome. Yes, its my bone that protrudes out. Reporter its estimated 30 million kids participate in youth sports annually. And Research Suggests that this condition may affect as many as one in five Young Athletes as they continue to grow. A staggering figure. Many cases due toover use. As a young athlete grows and villes, they have to recognize that there are limits to what their body can sustain before it starts to break down. Reporter tiffanys condition can get better with rest. But for a young athlete who wants to play College Soccer and beyond, that is not always an option. So for you, youre playing through a tremendous amount of pain. But its worth it. Of course. I mean i love the sport. I just have a passion for playing soccer. So i hope to continue that and on to college. So with this particular condition, kids are expected to outgrow it.

Okay, look, probably having a cup of coffee wherever youre watching us where there is a think article in the New York Post that suggests the brain pay be playing tricks on your taste buds. Okay, first hold up the cup of coffee you think would be more intense the one in the white mug or clear mug. Which one white mug. Shoot. Yes, yes. Thats where i meant to grab. Right. Theres this new book, gastrophysics that says our brain it plays tricks on our brain and think this is more intense and sweeter than darker inside. Dont ruin it for everyone, george. Please. Its early. But also when it comes to look at these cookies. We have one on a dark plate and one on a lighter plate. Which do you think would taste better . Taste each one and see, does one taste better than the other . The one on the dark plate or the lighter plate . The blue plates the white plate is sweeter. No, the blue plates make food taste actually well saltier. I have a lot of chocolate in my mouth. It tastes good. The darker plate i thought i didnt do my homework. Theyre both the same. The point is the packaging and coloring of packaging can dip it in your coffee in the white cup. Do you think theres really any truth to it. I think there is. I read something about this. You remember when cocacola a couple of years ago, they changed their can and crispness, there were a lot of people that wrote in and thought cocacola had changed the recipe. They were upset. But they didnt. It was just because it was in a different vessel. People thought it tasted different. I think the plate matters too. When you do a smaller plate, youre always like george.

Prince harry, Prince William and princess kate will gather on her birthday to rededicate her grave in a private ceremony. Princess diana still captivates us and a fourhour special is turning the spotlight on her legacy and Chris Connell hy has closer look. Reporter good morning. Alongside fresh thoughts from many who knew or observed her closely, the the story of diana will be the only program in the u. S. To feature an interview with dianas brother Charles Spencer. He has strong beens on his sisters life and her legacy. Diana, princess of wales, would have been 56 this saturday. A life lit by lightning and flashbulbs. Of all the ironies about diana, perhaps the greatest was this, a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting. Was in the end the most hunted person in the modern world. Reporter two decades after his hearbreaking eulogy dianas brother Charles Spencer speaking out about her legacy. Obviously 99. 9 of people have never met her or seen her but felt something in her that was fascinating and intriguing and a force for good. Even before her fairy tale marriage to prince charles, diana was a wideeyed english rose who would beguile the word. My earliest memories of her she always had a natural star quality. A human being with all the as a result terms of a human being. It brought her very close to all of us. Reporter that vulnerability enhancing her legacy as the peoples princess. The fierce protector of her children william and harry. Nothing in her life came close to the love for her children. Hi. They meant more to her. Hi. I arer she was furious when she had taken har are i to school and he was 4 or 35. Here he is arriving at a School Nativity play. Smile for the cameras, harry. Lovely. It was the sheer dishonesty of it that they were trying to say he was this impossibly rude little kid whereas they had provoked him on purpose. Diana felt furious about that. Harry now carrying on her work speaking frankly about his grief at her death and joining with his older brother to raise awareness of Mental Health issues. Just the kind of activism his mother took to heart. One of the reasons i want to talk now is because i think after 20 years somebody schiffs from being a contemporary person to one of history actually and diana deserves a place in history. This was a special person and not just a beautiful one. You know, the remarkable candor of william and harry in recent months and advocacy certainly seems like the kind of thing which would have made their mother exceptionally proud. Its the thing that diana really brought to the royal family. It was that capacity for selfrevelation and then the ability to leverage the interests that people had in her on behalf of causes and charities that were close to her heart. Robin. Her children are certainly following in her footsteps in that regard. All right, chris, thanks so much. You can see the story of diana right here on abc, the two night event starts wednesday, august 9th. Coming up here on gma, the hottest new swimsuit trends for the summer season. Perfect dasure is.

New york state. Its all here. Its only here. Plan your trip to the finger lakes at iloveny. Com i met you in the summer back now with the hottest swimsuit trends guaranteed to make a splash at the pool or the beach. Vogue accessories director Selby Drummond is here to help. Thanks for having me. Perfect timing. Im about to hid out on vacation. I need to know everything. Im seeing everywhere that the hottest trend right now is the one piece. Why is that making a comeback . We love the one piece. Were seeing it on a lot of celebrities. Were seeing it on Ashley Graham and sofia vergaraand baywatch is back. A lot of protection on the beach. Running back and forth on the beach you can wear a one piece but its a style we havent seen in a long time so feels very fresh and modern and very versatile. Lets see an example of this. Weve got aura. Come on out. Hi, aura. This is great. Yeah. So this is i love you can find a onepiece at any price point, 29. 99 from h m and i recommend when shopping for a one piece finding something thats neutral and a solid color. You want to stay away from patterns and prints that date so you can wear it season after season and update it with different styling and looks great on any body shape on any body type. And we have her here in a floor length coverup to be glamorous. If she changes her mind she can accessori accessorize. Those ki money nose are very in. Anything someone should be looking for . You mentioned the solids but anything with a cut. Everyone has a different body type and there is a one type for everyone. You can find one in a halter top, one that contours. All have great shop for your body sexes and recommend you do that and buying a simple color and everyone you can dress it up however you want. Next up we have brianna in another of this years hot trend, the highwaist bikini which body type does this suit . A lot. It is a secret weapon for a lot of body types. So as you can see it elongates her legs. Makes her tine economy. Accent waits the waist, great hourglass figure and balances out if you have broader shoulders. I recommend when you are shopping for a high waisted one, one that hits at the belly button. You dont want it to look larger cut but register the style. And we have it styled here with a beautiful wrap skirt so she can very easily add to that cinched waist effect. Perfect fit when you have a wrap skirt on with that flattering aline shape. Kind of harkens the evan curry 50s they wore exactly. Thats very sexy without baring too much skin. I like it. Thank you so much, brianna. We also have andrea wearing the perfect look to go from the pool to a party. She looks believe it or not, andrea is in a bathing suit. Thats a bathing suit. That is a bathing suit. One of my favorite tricks for packing light and for getting the most out of an investment. Yeah. We picked this gray off the shoulder ruffled j. Crew piece that adds extra glamour on the beach but looks great going out at night. You can try this with a bikini top too. A high waisted pant or skirt you might already own and kind of bring only that on your trip. Now, what is your favorite of all of these, like what do you of all these, im loving the one piece as a body suit to go out at night. If you have a simple one wear it under a sheer dress. I love its really easy and versatile and very flattering. Whats the biggest mistake people make when shopping for bathing suit, do you think . I think its trying to find something thats on trend that doesnt necessarily flatter their body. I feel you can find something that fits and feel comfortable and with all of these options you can make it your own and relevant to the time or relevant to what youre doing. I wouldnt sacrifice something that looks good on you. Okay. Okay. And lets take a look one more time at everyone. Weve got all the trends here. And im kind of psyched about the onepiece because im pregnant and i kind of like the move coverage the better so this is great. And coverups, theyre i even love wearing a little cardigan on the beach if youre going on a boat or something or by the pool and it gets windy, cardigan, belt it but love a wrap skirt and love a very long coverup. Okay. I love it. We need to bring you back for hats to keep that sun off. Im ready. You can see more summer trends in the july issue of vogue on stands now. Well be right back. Thank you so much.
