First, as we remember muhammad ali, some new questions are being raise this had morning whether theres a connection between his career this boxing rig and his parkinsons disease. Youre watching world news now. Announcer world ne well, as the world mourns the loss of one of the greatest boxers who ever lived, there are new questions being raised about the root cause of muhammad alis parkinsons disease. Coo there be a connection between his debilitating illness and the decades of knocks he took inside the ring . Heres abcs jim avila. Reporter this is the last video of muhammad ali in public at a Charity Event in april. 30 years of parkinsons, a disease that damages part of the brain involved in movement. Inflicting tremendous havoc on the champ and causing his public to wonder if there is a link between the hits he absorbed in the ring and the disease that led to his death. I think its quite clear that beatings in the ring will make your brain quite damaged in terms of the inflammation it creates, and then over time, its more likely you get a disease like parkinsons. Reporter when i first met ali in the mid1980s in chicago, he was in his 40s and had just been diagnosed. His right arm trembled, but three decades later, he couldnt walk or talk. He was diagnosed with parkinsons at age 40 suggesting something had happened. Either that he had a very strong genetic link orring that simply hes been damaged in some other way, for example, lew a head injury. Reporter when ali was young, he was almost unhittable, but his later fights were brutal. Frazier nearly killed him. Norton broke his jaw with one punch, foreman pounded him in the famous rumble in the jungle. And today he marvels at alis determination to take a punch and perhaps unwisely get up for more. You could hit him where you hit everyone else, but he was not willing to fall, he was not willing to be counted out. Reporter a brain autopsy would swloel muhammad ali had other brain damage. Its already clear he did have parkinsons disease. The family has not disclosed whether his brain will be donated to research. Jim avla, abc news, scottsdale. All of this starred on one side of his body several years after he retired. Then it just progressed from there. He responded to some treatment including dopamine but it slowly progressed.

If the election was held tomorrow, who would you vote for Hillary Clinton or donald trump, who by the way owns the miss usa pageant. That was a question that she was given. Judges shouldnt be allowed to ask that. A lot of people are upset by that. So she kind of punted and just knew that there was no way i was going to win this thing with a question like that. Thats no fair. Do the whole thing over again. It is sort of like a question that a lot of americans are facing in the next five months. We begin with that race for the white house.

Hes a member of a club or society, very strongly promexican, which is all fine. But i say hes got bias. I want to build a wall. Im going to build a wall. Reporter when cbs pressed him, trump went even further. If it were a muslim judge, would you also feel they wouldnt treat you fairly because that you have policy of yours . Its possible, yes. Yeah, that would be possible, absolutely. Isnt there a tradition in america we dont judge people from where their parents came from . Im not talking about tradition. Im talking about common sense, okay . Reporter common sense to him maybe. But not to plenty of others even in trumps own party this is one of the worst mistakes trump has made. I think its inexcusable. This judge was born in indiana. He is an american, period. What trump is doing is trying to divert attention from the very Serious Fraud charges against Trump University.

The body of a sky diver described as a free spirit by his family has been recovered after a tragic accident in south carolina. Authorities say bond springer died after falling 14,000 feet over the weekend. Following a midair collision with another diver. It happened during a sky diving festival. The 32yearold was an experienced sky diver with more than 400 jumps. Here in new york, several people were hurt after a deck collapsed during a Weekend Party in brooklyn. The most serious injury was a broken leg. The building dates from the 19th century. Fire Officials Say the collapse was caused by old age, rot and disrepair. In new jersey investigators are looking at a possible gas leak as the cause of this house explosion. One man living in the house was burned over 50 of his body. Two others were treated for cuts and bruises. Police and neighbors say they smelled gas after that explosion. Now to a brazen robbery that turned out to be nothing more than Monkey Business literally. A mischievous monkey pushed its way into a Jewelry Store in india, then perched itself behind the counter, opened up a drawer and started grabbing cash out of the drawer. Check him out. Thats a smart monkey. A worker tried to entice the monkey with a fruit. The cash was apparently more appetizing than that. The monkey scurried away with quite a bit of cash. I believe more than 100 worth. Wow. They say theres no word on whether they were able to track the monkey down. Monkeys in that area have recently targeted markets, temples and purses and other valuables off people passing by. I have an image of this underground monkey lair where theyre drinking scotch. The cops. Imbibing in fine jewelry. The cops over there worried this would be part of a trend, monkey see, monkey do. Oh. I have some really bad jokes this morning. Apologies all around. Its monday. Coming up, all right, thanks. Theres one. Coming up, the stunning game two of the nba finals. A crushing loss for the cavaliers as the series shifts to cleveland. Our t. J. Holmes is there is in oakland speaking with the players and later the new miss usa will probably amaze you and probably make you feel like a slacker, as well. Thats coming up in your monday morning skinny. Stay with us. Announcer world news now weather, brought to you by american advisors group. U by american advisors group. For dog hair and dirt i use resolve pet foam. Spray it on evenly. Rub it in. And then i vacuum. Its like i have a brand new carpet. And, rigby is enjoying it as well. Illuminates skin with pearl optics science. Your concert style might show your age, your skin never will. With olay you age less, so youre ageless. Olay. Ageless. Those are kind of strange expressions to have when youre listening to your own national anthem. But thats because those players from uruguay before their match against mexico last night in arizona, they werent hearing their anthem. That was the anthem of chile being played. That would be a problem. Organizers called it a human error. Late in the match, mexico scored twice to secure a 31 win. Both teams had a man sent off in case we cared about the actual match itself, but kind of embarrassing there. The anthem definitely threw them off. I think exactly. There was one guy singing along though. One guy, how did he know the words to the chilean anthem . I dont know, but he was into it. I think he liked. Meanwhile getting it very right in oakland last flight, the Golden State Warriors just killed it. They were led by reigning mvp steph curry. They trounced the Cleveland Cavaliers last night as they lead the series 2zip. Is there still hope for lebron james to turn things around . T. J. Holmes is in oakland with the latest. Reporter diane, kendis, its not even that late when the game wrapped up. I saw a lot of people yawning already. It was a bit of a snoozer at the end. Another 30 point plus victory. The other was a blowout in game one. Game two certainly a decisive win by the warriors and the cavs have to try to get it together and go back to cleveland and put some kind of plan together to stop this warriors team. This game pretty much the same as the first played out. They couldnt stop the warriors offensively. More troubles for the cavs. Kevin love, finally being able to play in the finals after being injured last year. He takes an elbow to the back of the head in the first half. Comes out the second half experiences some dizziness. He is not allowed to get into the game. Now under nba concussion protocol, well monitor his situation and see if hes able to go again in game three. Again, that is coming up on wednesday. Right now, well, we hope a lot of people hope this is not going to be the last game we see this year in this building. Im not going to put it out there. Its going to be a sweep. Still, the way weve seen is the cavs perform and the warriors perform so far, it is not looking good. Maybe the cavs will get it together for game three and four in cleveland. For now, ill send it back to you guys in new york. That was t. J. Holmes in oakland, california. Steve kerr tweeted out hes not celebrating yet. Hes not as yet. But you would have to think the cavaliers will be able to win at least one game. Maybe they should try breaking a clip board. That did work for them. I should point out also, you remember one of the games where dwyane wade and lebron met a hot mike moment caught him saying, all right, if things dont get bet they are year, lets get back together and win some more championships. The same conspiracy theory. When we come back, revealing the newlycrowned miss usa. And what taylor swift did for one lucky fan thats now going viral. The skinny is next. World news now continues after this from our abc p . P . O . Gv skinny, so skinny r monday mo skinny headlines, the newlycrowned miss usa.

She grew up in a military family and serves as an Army Logistics commander at fort meade, maryland. While working full time as an i. T. Analyst for the commerce department. Shes kind of busy and she also works out. Clearly. Meantime, and the shows cohost Terrence Jenkins was given sage advice from another beauty pageant host. Just go nowhere near it. Dont mention colombia, period. Coffee, nothing. What if shes from the district of columbia . An. Huhuh. Just say d. C. D. C. Just say that. But if shes like from columbus, ohio dont say it. Can you imagine if she was from columbia, maryland, originally, as well . Ironically, of course, miss district of columbia did win. And they did announce it properly. As miss district of columbia. Very happy for her. I like Steve Harveys ability to poke fun at himself. Yes, hes laughing all the way to the bank. Next, he may have been doing a little too much sweat together oldies. Were talking about eccentric workout guru Richard Simmons who has checked out of a hospital in los angeles a day after bizarre conduct that he attributed to dehydration. Temperatures have been sroc t rocketing and the 67yearold simmons was rushed to Cedarssinai Medical Center after a midnight scare at as a Los Angeles Home after he reportedly became incoherent. He said through his publicist, hes now feeling great and reminds fans summer is here. Drink plenty of liquids and big hugs and kisses for caring. Whatever you do, do not take off those tights. Look at those. Please dont. Those were amazing. Those muscles in there. Next, what do you do when youre a superstar and you happen to have a free saturday now adays in june . If youre taylor swift, apparently you put on a dress and you crash a wedding, of course. T. Swift filled the blank space of one very happy groom in new jersey who also happens to be one of her biggest fans. Is that the song you sing at a wedding though . Not really sure in the long list of exlovers. Swift coordinated the surprise with the grooms sister over the past few months. Talk about keeping a secret. She even brought the happy couple a handmade gift she made herself. A wedding card in water colors reading, so its going to be forever. Ah. Oh, its going to go down in flames. Maybe we shouldnt focus on the rest of the lyrics on that song. Finally rebel wilson channeling ursula. The acinterests morphed into the dreaded sea witch sought night. Thats awesome.

That said, this morning the world is still stunned at the loss of one of the worlds greatest and most significant athletes in modern history as other top athletes reflect on what he meant to them and everyday people. Im handsome. Im fast. Im pretty and cant possibly be beat. Everything youd want from a boxer, a wrestler, football player, he had it all. What he represented as a kid, i gravitated towards him because he was a champion. As i got older and i started to be more knowledgeable, i understood that he is the greatest of all time and he was the greatest of all time. I must be the greatest. When he said he was the greatest, he was really speaking for a whole generation of black americans who did not get the opportunities that they felt that they deserved. I would like for you to call me my name now. Muhammad. Muhammad ali. I dont think muhammad ali consciously said im going to go out and change the world. I think he did what he thought was right and that changed the world. Ali was the example of how you use your platform and speak what you believe no matter what people say. No, i will not go 10,000 miles and kill another poor people. Words cant explain what muhammad ali done for the sport of boxing. Hes one of the guys that paved the way for me to be where im at today. We lost a legend, a hero and a great man. Only last week, i murdered a rock. Angelo stone, hospitalized a brick. You saw him on television, there was no one more beautiful. You saw him walking down the street, he was a beautiful thing to see. What a phenomenon. You had to see him even if you pulled against him, you wanted to be a part of it. There are so many tributes beyond just athletes but you had politicians of course, will smith who played him in the movie about his life calling him and saying that he changed his life. And smith said going into that role, he was very nervous. He didnt want to mess up the story of muhammad ali. Ali learned how to box after somebody stole his bike in 1954. I wonder if hes grateful to those thieves now. That would change everybodys lieu of and make anybody want to fight. Steal your bike . It was a red schwinn no less. Yes, a lot of the memories.
