Luggage and shoes left behind. The terrified move to tears. Whered my son go . What set this thing off . Searching for secrets in the last jedi. Our first look at episode viii in the star wars saga. My sitdown with the stars with new hints on the story lines. I think how the last jedi and the journey we go on is perhaps unexpected. And the final word on the part the late Carrie Fisher will play. Everything fans need to know as we say both good morning, america. Good morning. And lets get straight to the developing and very dangerous story out of north korea. We want you to look at dueling images this morning. This is a military parade mounted by north korea just hours ago and prominently on display with the north korean government claims are new missiles. Meanwhile, this morning, the u. S. And south korean tanks are moving into position for a joint military exercise near the border with north korea. And, of course, this is all playing out against a backdrop of tit for tat threats between President Trump and the reclusive north korean regime and the North Koreans saying theyre ready for war if trump wants it. Meantime, the world is watching when theyll conduct another nuclear test. Weve got Team Coverage this morning and were going to start with abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz who is in seoul, south korea. Reporter this morning a military parade in the north korean capital, pyongyang, to mark the 105th birthday of kim ilsung, the countrys late founder and grandfather of kim jongun, the current leader. Tens of thousands gathered to celebrate the holiday known as the day of the sun. The highly choreographed parade complete with flybys, tanks, marching soldiers and what may be Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles capable of reaching the united states. Also on display among the plethora of war machines for the first time submarinelaunched missiles. They are the newest weapons in the unpredictable kim jonguns arsenal. Analysts were anticipating a possible test of its Nuclear Weapons or another escalation of the standoff between kims regime and the white house. On friday as the Chinese Foreign ministry warned no one will win if the two sides go to war, a top north korean official told the Associated Press the Trump Administration is more vicious and more aggressive than its predecessor. [ speaking a Foreign Language ] trump is always using aggressive words he said, singling out the president s tweets. It is the u. S. That is threatening us. Talking to reporters, President Trump offered this summary of his stance toward the hermit kingdom. North korea is a problem. The problem will be taken care of. Reporter the u. S. Now sending the Aircraft Carrier the uss vinson into the region and troops conducting exercises along the border. North korea now reportedly calling the administrations words and actions maniacal military provocations, and this threat, we will go to war if they choose, adding, they can destroy major American Military bases in south korea within minutes. But, dan and paula, here at the air base in south korea they say thats all talk. North korea may try to attack this base, but theyre well prepared to stop them. Dan and paula. Lets hope its all talk, Martha Raddatz reporting from south korea. Lets bring in now retired marine coprs colonel and abc news contributor Steve Ganyard who served in the pentagon and also as a fighter pilot. Steve is in washington. Steve, good morning. Lets talk about the new missiles that north korea unveiled, what appears to be an icbm, an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile and also some submarine missiles. Do we think these are operational . Some of them are and some of them arent, dan. The submarine missile, we saw a test earlier in the year, quite concerning because the submarine can hide, and you can put it off the coast of either korea or japan. The larger ones are the ones most concerning, and these are the Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles that could conceivably reach the u. S. The first time weve seen them, the number of missiles and the capability on display here is quite disturbing. In terms of retaliatory military action, steve, the u. S. Now has what could be a game changer. What can you tell us about that . Paula, theres a new missile or a new capability that the u. S. Has thats based around highpowered microwaves. Its a burst of electromagnetic energy, the same thing you would find in a nuclear weapon. They have been able to put it in a stealthy cruise missile. Its not talked about much but it is brandnew and a tool that the president would have. The idea being this electromagnetic pulse would fly over an area such as where the North Koreans would be conducting a nuclear test and it would send this Microwave Energy into the ground, it would be absorbed by anything that was electrical and go into the ground and fry everything underneath. Nobody gets hurt. Just everything stops working that uses electricity i, so well watch for that because thats something new President Trump would have in his quiver. Given theyve done Nuclear Tests twice last year what is new here and are the increased tensions were seeing right now due to north korea or due to trumps tough talk . Theres not much new here. Kim jongun continues to ramp up the pressure, continues to move towards not only a Nuclear Capability but the means to deliver. Thats what were seeing here. Hes getting missiles that can travel farther distances and one we saw today could actually potentially reach the united states. Thats whats most disturbing so weve had democratic president s and republican president s that have kicked this problem down the road for 20 years but were getting to that point where the north could now threaten directly the u. S. Homeland which is why it seems President Trump is taking this problem head on. Unsettling to say the least. Steve, thank you very much. And speaking of President Trump, he is monitoring the north korea situation from maralago in palm beach, florida, where hes spending the easter holiday. Our david wright is there with more on how the president is handling this ongoing situation, especially, david, most of his senior staff remains in d. C. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, paula. The white house says the president s getting regular updates on the situation in north korea, but as you say, hes here with pretty much a bare bones staff. Were told that two members of his National Security team are here, one of them an expert in the korean peninsula. But virtually all of his senior Staff Members are elsewhere. Steve bannon, reince priebus, sean spicer all back in washington for the easter holiday, and soninlaw Jared Kushner is off skiing with his family. Of course, Vice President mike pence is headed to south korea to monitor the situation there. But you know there have been concerns raised in the past about maralago, whether a beach club is a secure enough place to monitor a situation as serious as this. You remember that photo from a few months ago when the president and the Prime Minister of japan were there out in the dining room looking at cell phones as korea as north korea launched a previous missile test. Well, there have been some changes made since then. Last weekend when the president launched missiles against syria, you saw him with his advisers in a makeshift war room called a scif, a secure comparted information facility. Its now a regular feature there. Bottom line, the white house says the president is prepared, is following the situation as he would back in the white house and can respond as needed. Dan and paula. David, thank you. Lets go to abc news political commentator Cokie Roberts who is joining us from south carolina. Cokie, good morning. You have watched many president s deal before in Foreign Policy crises. What is your read on how trump is handling this one with north korea . Well, as Steve Ganyard said watched many president s deal with north korea. Its just a perpetual problem and, of course, President Trump came in with lots of bellicose language and many tweets about how he was not going to let north korea do anything bad. And it was not terribly heartening when we when he told the wall street journal that after ten minutes with the chinese leader, he had come to understand that north korea was complicated. But at least he has come to understand that, and i think that he will probably be somewhat cautious here and, of course, the japanese and South Koreans are very much involved in this. But to be fair, four administrations have not succeeded in getting the North Koreans to not nuclearize their arsenal and its getting more and more dangerous. Cokie, what do you make of trumps military approach, basically emboldening his generals to make decisions without even consulting him first . Reporter well, i think that a lot of that has been true for a long time, paula, but, again, this is part of President Trump trying to portray a very tough image and say, you know, my generals, as he calls them, are going to be in charge and not have to worry about some lilly livered politician, but i think that the military is well aware of the constraints upon them even if the president not necessarily is. How do we square, cokie, how do we square these recent state of military actions or threats of military action like the large bomb we saw dropped in afghanistan, the strike against syria and, of course, now the tough talk with north korea, how do we square that with President Trumps avowed America First Campaign Promises . Well, you basically cant square it, dan, but he would say, you know, that i think President Trump would say this is america strong and that this is showing the world that you cant push us around, and i certainly think you can make the case that saying that the use of chemical weapons is unacceptable and against our National Interests, that getting rid of terrorists in afghanistan is pro our National Interests and that being very alert when it comes to north korea and making sure that they dont do anything precipitous is also in our national interest, but its very different from the rhetoric we heard all through the campaign which was basically were going to concentrate all of our energies here at home. Jobs, jobs, jobs and forget about those foreign places. You know, president s discover that the world actually does need them, and they have to pay attention, thank heaven. Cokie roberts, were lucky to have your analysis on a saturday morning. Thank you very much. Thank you, dan. And were going to be following this situation in north korea throughout the day right here on abc news and abcnews. Com. But were going to turn now to the contagion of panic that rolled through one of the busiest hubs in america. The chaos at a packed penn station. You look at the video right here. This is in new york city, passengers stampeding after what some people thought may be gunfire, and abcs Kenneth Moton is right there on the scene. Kenneth, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan. Penn station is back up and running. This place, the scene of rush hour madness. Mass hysteria, thousands of easter weekend travelers running in panic. Watch as this man falls. He was helped up as confused commuters ran by him. I dont know. I dont know. Reporter 16 injured as people pushed and shoved their way through the crowded concourses sparked by reports of an active shooter in new york citys penn station. Be advised no shots fired. I believe a taser went off. Reporter thats right. No gunshots. It turns out the mayhem was caused by a taser. The individual was tased. Reporter Amtrak Police say they used it on this man in the middle of a crowded terminal. Incredible video as people ducked for cover. Many left their luggage, even their shoes behind. Families separated. Michael. Whered my son go . Reporter the panic caused a Ripple Effect reaching macys a block away where tourists were swept up by the fear of the worst. I took them and ran to the back of the store and we jumped over the counter and just hid in one of the storage rooms. Reporter penn station was packed more than usual because a broken down train caused major delays. This Morning Police say those injuries during the commotion all nonlifethreatening. What a wild scene, kenneth. Thanks for your reporting this morning. Tomorrow it easter.

On friday a bomb squad dispatched over a suspicious package. After last sunday, it made me a little bit more nervous, but this is a once in a life opportunity for me and for my family. Reporter this is one of several checkpoints for people hoping to see the pope. You can see theyre checking bags and even patting some people down. Despite the risk pope francis keeping up with tradition. Leading a good friday ceremony at the coliseum in front of an estimated 20,000. In his closing prayer the pontiff said the world should be ashamed of daily scenes of bombed cities and drowned migrants. Earlier this week the pope renewed his calls for an end to the war in syria. He will celebrate Easter Sunday mass in front of another huge crowd. Officials reminding everyone to stay vigilant. Paula and dan. Looks like a Beautiful Day in rome.

And the white house says that the logs of those who come to visit will no longer be made public. The Trump Administration ending an obama era practice of making most of those records public through the white house website. Now those visitor logs will be kept secret and may not be available for years. The white house citing National Security concerns for the change. The decision already being challenged by government watchdog groups. Report of sharks attack in two different parts of the u. S. In florida. A teenager in jacksonville was bit on the ankle while surfing friday. This is the second shark attack on the florida coast in just three days, and in hawaii, a french tourist critically injured on kauai beach after a shark bit his leg. That beach now closed. And finally as if the sport isnt hard enough, as you know, as a golfer, a golfer in australia found some extra obstacles to deal with while playing a round there. This is what greg tannos saw in south wales. That is a troupe of kangaroos or roos on the course. That didnt stop him from playing anyway. Wow. Look at that. Whoa. Thats a lot of kangaroos. Thats a troupe all right. He said they had great golf etiquette and stayed silent while he was putting. Nobody was yelling noonan . Thats pretty wild, isnt it . Is that the term, a troupe of a troupe or a mob or a court of kangaroos. That looked like ed like a m. I love words for groups of animals. You know what a group of crows is . Oh, no. A murder of a gaggle of you told us that before. And i still didnt remember. Anyway, time for the weather with the murderously handsome rob marciano. Oh, goodness. All right. Take a look at this storm that poor transition. Could have been murderous but thankfully was not. This is impressive. My goodness. This out of dimmitt, texas. Look at that wedge, multivortex tornado. You can kind of see the different vortices swirling around the outside of part of that there. Kind of ropes out a little bit and this was an earlier shot where a couple of tornadoes were minor damage and nobody got hurt, the Severe Weather threat moves north and east, wichita, kansas, des moines, strong winds, hail, tornado, as well. This front will move off toward the east. Thats whats going on nationally. Heres the local forecast. Reporter good morning, everyone, im meteorologist chris sowers with this accuweather update. Radars are clear, skies, clouds are rolling in. Temperatures today will be very, very pleasant. The exclusive accuweather sevenday forecast, speaking of pleasant. How about tomorrow, Easter Sunday, hello, 85 degrees, it will be the warmest easter since 2011. Monday, sun and clouds, 75. Tuesday and wednesday, look very nice, sun and clouds, and 67. Ll. He joins us now. Oh, my gosh, youre tony reali. Murderous. Tony reali from espn here to talk about one of the longest playoff seasons ever. Ten weeks of nba playoffs. Thats what were looking forward to the next two months. The playoffs tip off today and presumably were talking the the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors as the teams to beat the enormous favorites. The warriors especially, but lets talk about the cavaliers first. They got passed by the Boston Celtics in the last week of the season and then also Washington Wizards looking tough, Toronto Raptors looking tough. Check this out, our friends at fivethirtyeight. Com have put together some probabilities and the cavaliers at 2 . What . The reigning champs at 2 . So thats something to watch for. I think thats crazy town. That is. I think lebron is a different player in the playoffs. And hell come to play. As for the warriors, again, kevin durant back in the lineup. Their only issue may be working him back after injury. That 2 is probably going to motivate lebron james, i have to say. But youre thinking its a twoteam race again. I do. I do. That would be a big deal for the nba. No time in nba history had the same two teams met in the finals three straight years which is what the warriors and cavaliers are possibly doing. First round begins today. What matchup are we looking for . I love the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City thunder. This is james harden versus Russell Westbrook. Harden second in the league in scoring. Westbrook averaged the tripledouble for the first time in 55 years. I think they should hang the mvp trophy over the court and have them play for it right there. They wont do that. Theyll give it out in two months. Thats a free idea, nba. Have a little fun, say Russell Westbrook five times fast. Russell westbrook, Russell Westbrook, Russell Westbrook. Nice job, tony. Indiana pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers 3 00 eastern right here on abc. Thanks, tony. Youre the best, tony. Thank you.

My god, what are you doing . Reporter delta taking the first step allowing its employees to offer greater payouts to passengers who voluntarily give up their seats on overbooked flights. Telling gate agents in a letter obtained by abc news rather than offering just 800, they can now offer up to 2,000 and supervisors who at first could only offer 1,300 now can offer up to 10,000. It certainly makes a statement because its saying, look, we value not only our customers, but we value the experiences of our Customer Service agents.
