This is the guajataca dam. Theyre expecting an imminent failure there which could affect 70,000 people. Well have the latest from the scene coming up. Those people told to get to Higher Ground as soon as possible. We start with another breaking story this morning. An earthquake in north korea. It comes in the middle of an escalating war of words between President Trump and north korean leader, kim jongun. In fact, the president fired off his latest verbal salvos at a speech overnight in alabama. We have Team Coverage this morning and we start with the latest on that earthquake. Abcs Jennifer Eccleston is in london this morning. Jennifer, good morning to you. Reporter Chinese Media are reporting a 3. 2 magnitude earthquake in north korea. The last time an earthquake was registered in north korea it was the result of a nuclear test. So far theres no confirmation from pyongyang about a possible detonation, but tensions in the region have been escalating after a war of words between the u. S. And north korea about its nuclear ambitions. That rhetoric following the detonation of a suspected Hydrogen Bomb on september 3. That blast registered a 6. 3 magnitude earthquake. That detonation was pyongyangs sixth nuclear test and its largest, and all those tests have been underground. This morning the south koreans are confirming a small quake with some news reports suggesting the tremor was a natural occurrence. But those reports also indicating todays quake is near that september explosion. And just now the usgs also reporting that the quake was near that same area of the explosion but it did not confirm whether it was a blast or a normal seismic event. This follows north koreas Foreign Ministers threat to test a Hydrogen Bomb over the Pacific Ocean and a direct threat from kim jongun to take the highest action against the United States. Dan and paula . Tensions are high this morning. Jennifer, thanks for your reporting from london this morning. North korea was clearly on President Trumps mind as he spoke overnight in alabama. He was there to campaign on behalf of incumbent senator Luther Strange who is facing a tough challenge from a fellow republican. The election is just days away. The president also spoke about the Embattled Health care bill. This morning hes back in new jersey and thats where we find abcs stephanie ramos. Reporter last night President Trump on stage in alabama hyping up his accomplishments, jumping from topic to topic, including health care and north koreas leader. The president confident that kim jongun was watching. And then this morning President Trump is up and at em, tweeting about health care, posting, john mccain never had any intention of voting for this bill which his governor loves. He campaigned on repeal and replace. Let arizona down. Overnight the president taking the stage in huntsville, alabama. I love this state and i love the people of this state. Reporter rallying for Embattled Senate candidate Luther Strange. Trump going after everything from north korea, even the nfl, to health care. The president still vowing to get rid of obamacare. Were going to win. Its going to be gone. Reporter this morning the Gop Health Care bill is one vote away from failing, with senator john mccain shooting it down again, saying in a statement friday, he cannot in good conscience vote for the latest republican plan. He says a bill of this impact requires a bipartisan approach. It was just a couple of months ago when mccain walked on the senate floor and gave a thumbs down during a vote to repeal obamacare. The president telling the alabama crowd he was shocked. Totally unexpected thing, terrible. Reporter and trump again using a nickname to call out north koreas leader, kim jongun. Ramping up insults toward the dictator. Rocket man should have been handled a long time ago. Reporter north koreas leader, kim jongun, says trump is mentally deranged, senile and old. During that hour and a half speech President Trump even urged the nfl to fire players who protest racial and social injustices during the playing of the national anthem, even suggesting that punishments for hard hits are ruining the game. Then theres russia, the president continuing to claim that the russian tie to him is a hoax despite the deepening investigation that is narrowed in on trumps closest connections. Dan, paula. Newsy speech overnight and a newsy morning as he continues to tweet. Stephanie, thank you. For more on all of this, lets go to washington and abc news political commentator cokie roberts. Cokie, good morning. Hi, how are you guys . Great now that youre here. Let me start with north korea where were dealing with this mystifying news about the earthquake. The president , as you know, has been engaging this war of words with the north korean dictator. Hes called him rocket man, called him a mad man. Is this the smart approach . As long as it stays words its harmless, and kim jongun had all of us looking up the word dotard because thats what he called President Trump. It turns out to mean senile old man or something along those lines. The fact is that if the president is correct and if the leader of korea is a mad man, then provoking him is probably not the smartest thing to do. Lets talk about health care, shift gears a little bit, cokie. Once again another Health Care Bill from republicans is on life support after the senator says hes going to vote no. But do you think hes able to sway some crucial republican votes to get that done . He just tweeted, i know rand paul and i think he might find a way to get there for the good of the party. Do you think he can sway some of those votes . He might be if he puts some sweeteners in that bill. This is a bill thats opposed by the american medical association, the american pediatric association, every Disease Group is against it, the Insurance Companies are against it. So the only reason that it would pass is that republicans are saying, well, we promised we would do it so well do it. Whether that gets it all the way through and to a president ial signature is a very, very big if. A long way to go here. Lets sneak in a question about what the president was doing in alabama overnight. He was there because hes thrown his weight behind incumbent senator Luther Strange. Strange is facing a pretty tough challenge from a fellow republican. If strange loses, what does that say about trumps influence . It says that trump is more important than trump because actually stranges opponent, roy moore, is really much more appealing to trump voters. Now, 80 of the republicans in alabama have a favorable impression of donald trump. So its possible that he can bring Luther Strange over the top. But its an interesting race for him to get into and to get into on that side, and he said that last night in that long, rambling speech. He did say maybe i made a mistake. He was almost like he was talking to himself because he knows that moore is really much more in his mold, and the president s own cabinet member, ben carson, has been campaigning for moore. Sarah palin has been campaigning for moore. And so i think the president s a little bit conflicted there, but he had a great big crowd there in huntsville and of course he always loves that. Everybody is interested to see how that race shakes out in alabama. Cokie, thanks for your insight and analysis this morning. We want to move now to the latest on that dire situation in puerto rico where a dam could collapse at any moment putting 70,000 people in harms way. This is a serious situation and compounding the misery, the entire island, no power. Abcs Victor Oquendo is right there this morning. Reporter good morning. Those floodwaters can be devastating and deadly. Tens of thousands of people are being told to get out. That will be much different than what weve seen here in san juan where the winds created all this damage. A new imminent threat forcing 70,000 people in puerto rico to evacuate their homes immediately. A crack discovered in the guajataca dam, its surrounding area pummelled by 15 inches of rain, sparking flash flood emergencies. Officials warning those in the area to move to Higher Ground, fearing it could collapse at any moment. This crises as desperate cries for help continue across the island. With communication nearly impossible i havent spoken to anyone since midnight on tuesday. Reporter hundreds of cars pulling over on the side of a highway, one of the only places with cell service. Even stars like Jennifer Lopez we havent been able to hear from our families. Reporter ricky martin. Donate whatever you can. Just 1 will make a difference. Reporter and Marc Anthony Puerto rico needs your help. Reporter not able to connect with their loved ones. Were making the drive from san juan. We have had a lot of people from the United States reach out to us saying they havent been able that get in touch with their loved ones in that port of puerto rico. Were desperate trying to confirm their whereabouts and that theyre doing fine. We set out to a farm, a downed power pole at the entrance of their community. Inside, antonio and julie safe and sound, just without power or any way to commune waicate with outside world. Do you have a message for your son . I love you. Reporter weve been in touch with his family in miami. They are incredibly relieved. For so many others theyre stuck waiting for word. Dan, paula . Such a tough time on that island. Victor, thank you. Our chief meteorologist rob marciano is also in puerto rico this morning. Hes been following the heart wrenching story of a nursing home worker and her struggle to help the elderly patients in her care. Rob, good morning to you. Reporter dan and paula, good morning in old san juan. Day four now since the hurricane hit and conditions havent changed that much. Theres still damage littering this city and people are just trying to survive, especially those that are giving care to folks that are most in need. In the wake of Hurricane Marias destruction across the island of puerto rico, finally a moment of happiness for at least one resident. The generator powering the nursing home where caregiver maria ortiz has struggled to keep her elderly patients alive, its back up and running again. Unfortunately, the pure feeling of jubilation will only last so long. About how long does a tank last . 8 hours. Reporter its a temporary fix to a major problem. When we first met maria and the care center residents two days ago, we found them living in sweltering conditions, some clinging to life. The anguish and fear in marias voice was undeniable. We cant let them die. We cant let them die. Reporter maria is one of the lucky ones. With communication all but gone on most of the island, she was able to reconnect with her mother. And we were there during the emotional reunion. Even though shes up against unimaginable odds, maria says shes not giving up any time soon. If i can do something and i can get help now before something happens, i want to do what i have to do, you know . Reporter and while the fuel in that generator is likely to run out today, we have seen a visible increase in military personnel and fema staff, so the flow of lifesaving supplies should be ramping up today. Dan, paula. Good to hear that the supplies are getting right to where people need it most. Rob, thank you. Were going to check in with rob in a few minutes to get the latest track on maria. We turn to a close call from an Army Blackhawk helicopter. The helicopter was flying Security Missions for the United Nations General Assembly here in new york city when it was hit by a drone. Abcs Erielle Reshef is on that story. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. That collision happened over a residential neighborhood in staten island, believed to be the first between an aircraft and a civilian drone. The pilot was forced to land at a new Jersey Airport after some tense moments in the sky. This morning the u. S. Army is investigating how a drone collided with this blackhawk helicopter in new york city. This damage to the choppers blade and window after the drone slammed into it at approximately 500 feet around 8 00 p. M. Thursday night. In the United States its against the law for private drone pilots to fly at an altitude greater than 400 feet. For now the drones owner is unknown. The helicopter based out of North Carolina was in town to patrol this weeks United Nations General Assembly. The pilot was able to land the aircraft safely. This isnt the first close call in the sky between a drone and a helicopter. We just had a near midair collision with a drone. Reporter back in august, Massachusetts State Police reported a drone came within 100 feet of one of its choppers. If people follow the instructions for all the rules, it is an absolutely avoidable scenario. Reporter in june a Charlotte Police pilot said a drone inched towards this helicopter while flying over the city. Had the drone struck the helicopter at that speed, velocity, through the windshield, it could have been a catastrophic event. Reporter now, the army is investigating this latest incident and trying to find the drone pilot. The helicopter is awaiting repairs. Most of the damage though was done to the drone itself so kind of lucky in this situation. Absolutely. Trying to figure out who was flying the drone. Raises a lot of questions about drone safety going forward. Thank you. We turn to the life or death struggle in mexico city where five days after that earthquake rescue crews are desperately digging through the rubble. Matt gutman is in mexico city where americans are assisting in the search for survivors. Matt, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan and paula. This is a scene that is starting to play out across the flattened buildings in mexico city. Heavy machinery moving in, that crane lifting huge chunks of concrete, and you may be able to hear the jackhammers in the background. This is something that nobody here in mexico wanted to see because it means this is moving from a rescue to a recovery effort. This morning as rescue workers are still swarming over the ruins of this flattened office building, desperation is setting in. The death toll rising to over 290 people, most of them here in mexico city. Its been over 24 hours since rescuers digging out tons of rubble by hand pulled anyone out. And with the cruel reality setting in, these people protesting, accusing the Mexican Government of moving too slowly and letting their family members die. The rescue effort here has become international. We joined the l. A. County fire search and rescue team with their canines at that same site. Fire and rescue team says that those six stories collapsed so densely theres no void space and the concern is that nobody could have survived that. They huddled before going in. And within earshot of the work on that pile, this tent city where the families have been missing, entering their fifth day of waiting. They sat there, praying together. It was right there that we met faviola. Her brother believed to be trapped. The accommodations where her family have been camping for days, spare. Theyve been basically sleeping sitting on buckets like this. Sitting there she said they needed everyone to see their strength. But i ask her how she copes after four days. Then even her steel will snaps. She says her brother is very strong. But amidst the flattened buildings and sagging hopes, there were spikes of national pride. In the rubble of one building rescuers spontaneously singing the Mexican National anthem. Now, minutes ago we saw rescuers recover one of the victims. The Mexican Government still says there is some hope from the victims but it doesnt have an official list. What has been most impressive here in mexico is not just the hundreds of rescuers you see behind me but the army, the thousands of volunteers who on their own dime have kept up a steady supply chain of food, water, coffee, supplies for everyone here. Guys. The spirit of solidarity is so nice to see. Matt gutman, thanks for your reporting from mexico city this morning. We want to go back to rob whos in puerto rico with the very latest on maria. Good morning, dan and paula. Weve seen rain here in san juan just about every day since the hurricane. The sun is trying to spoke out so some hopeful optimism in regards to the weather today. The storm itself, thtoday for ta long time we have no advisories or warnings out for coastal areas.

Some scary moments in a Southern California neighborhood as people watch a plane narrowly miss their home as it literally falls from the sky. And the pilot and passengers all manage to walk away from this thing. Marci gonzalez is in los angeles with more. Good morning. Reporter hi guys. Good morning. They were just about six miles from the airport when this happened. The two people on board and everyone who was right there along that busy street as the plane came down, no doubt feeling incredibly lucky this morning. Dispatch, we advise a plane with an engine failure coming in. Looks like hes not going to make it. Reporter overnight that terrifying close call, a single engine plane crash landing on a Southern California street. Most scariest thing ive ever seen. Reporter clipping trees on its way down but incredibly missing homes and drivers just feet away. Flying into burbank, lost power to one of the engines for some reason, called in a mayday and glided, trying to find somewhere safe to put us down. He basically parallel parked the fricking plane. Lucky to be alive. Reporter that passenger and pilot, fraternity brothers, at the university of redland, say they were heading to Hollywood Burbank airport when their engine failed, somehow managing to glide down onto the stre street right next to this busy shopping center. Theres a number of passengers. Appears to be a small cessna type plane. Doors are open, no fire, no smoke, checking for injuries. Reporter the pilot and passenger walking away from the wreckage without serious injuries. Those guys are lucky they dont have back injuries or anything else. I thought i was going to die. I mean, i thought it was going to be fiery but were okay, no injuries. Were a little banged up. Reporter incredible. This morning the crash is under investigation. Dan and paula. Thank you very much.

We just moved in about four months ago, but the living rooms pretty blank. Its really nice when clients come in and have done some of their own research. Working with a bassett designer was really easy. Just kind of ties in very well. We love it welcome back to gma on a saturday morning. Happening right now, look at this. Imminent risk. Tens of thousands evacuated in puerto rico fearing this dam could collapse at any minute. This is in the wake of Hurricane Maria which devastated the island, leaving it entirely without power, without water in many spots. Puerto rico now on a long road to recovery. Also right now on a saturday morning, iran missile test. State media reporting that iran has successfully tested a new Ballistic Missile that can carry multiple warheads and travel more than 1200 miles, easily able to reach israel and saudi arabia, this hours after the government unveiled the missile during a military parade. Also, former republican president ial candidate bob dole is in the hospital. Hes being treated for low blood pressure. The 94yearolds wife taking to twitter to say theyre sorry to miss this years Invictus Games hosted by prince harry in toronto and they are asking for prayers. He tweeted, i hope to be home sipping a cosmo in a few days because a cosmo puts everybody in a better mood. At age 94, roll the dice. Not just one, how about a couple. Why not. He spoke at my college graduation. Did he really . What a moment. Our best to him this morning. We are going to turn now to currently serving government officials including a few trump cabinet secretaries who are under scrutiny for their travel habits. At least one congressman is now calling for a hearing into whats being spent on private jets and expensive government flights and abcs gio benitez is here with the latest. Great to have you in the studio. Great to be here this morning. Were talking about expensive private planes. The flights are costing tens of thousands of dollars but spokes people for some of the secretaries say theyre necessary. Still, some members of congress arent buying it. This morning treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin is under investigation for trips on costly jets with american taxpayers footing the bill. Mnuchins flight on a u. S. Airforce c37 costing taxpayers at least 25,000. That ride from new york to washington d. C. Less than an hour. That routes average rate on a commercial plane, 210 bucks. It happened after the president s controversial press conference in charlottesville. I think theres blame on both sides. Reporter mnuchins travels had already taken center stage after he and his wife took a military jet to kentucky last month, some questioning if the business trip was really used to watch the solar ellipse. Also under review, why he requested a government jet for his honeymoon, ultimately withdrawing that request, saying it was just one of the things they explored to ensure security communication. The Treasury Department saying in a statement, we welcome the review and are ensuring the office has everything needed for a full evaluation of our travel procedures. Mnuchin is now one of at least three trump cabinet secretaries under the microscope for their travels. Investigators this morning are also looking at secretary tom price who just last week reportedly chartered five flights on private planes. Politico reporting the Health Secretary flew a total of 24 private flights since early may, racking up more than 300,000 in taxpayer bills. Its just not right. Its just not right. Reporter Congressional Democrats are sounding off. I dont think he really has a justification, and hes taken dozens of charter flights claiming theyre an emergency, but basically theyre for his own convenience. Reporter secretary prices office saying in a statement, commercial travel is not always feasible. Secretary price will continue meeting with the American People outside of the beltway to hear their concerns and ensure hhs kentucky trip was official business, not to see the solar eclipse, and that his wifes ticket was approved and reimbursed, but so many questions this morning, enough to trigger these investigators. Not what tom price needs in the middle of the health care fight in the senate either. Gio, thank you very much. Lets check the forecast again with rob marciano who has been reporting from puerto rico. Rob, good morning. Good morning again, dan and paula from old san juan, puerto rico. At least for now its not hurricane still category three storm as we mentioned in the last halfhour for the first time in a long time, no advisories out because its in the ocean. The forecast track is to bring it north toward the coastline of north korea. Tuesday, wednesday, a little weaker hurricane at that point. The forecast zone is scraping the u. S. Shoreline. Our spaghetti model which was tightly clustered at one point, now because a split jet an tropics, may bring closer to the shore, direct impacts monday, tuesday, wednesday for the east coast. Thats the latest on whats happening in the hurricane zone. Time for the local forecast. Check it out. Reporter good morning, everyone, im meteorologist chris sowers with this accuweather update.

They appeared on abc last year because they were friends with Kayla Mueller, the Young American aid worker who was kidnapped in syria and then killed in isis captivity. Now their own deaths are being investigated and abcs brian ross has more. Reporter she was only 23 but the human rights work of americanborn journalist Halla Barakat and her activist mother orouba made for a powerful team and also put them at great risk. I met them last year in turkey for an abc news report on the Young American hostage, Kayla Mueller, who they had befriended shortly before she died in isis captivity, a death they felt deeply. Were two women and we know its a cruel world out there for women. Reporter this week halla and her mother were the victims, found murdered, stabbed and strangled in their istanbul apartment. Police say they do not know who killed them. Friends say they had recently been threatened because of their very public criticism of the assad regime in syria. As a reporter for orient tv in istanbul, an antisyrian regime outlet, the young women had been investigating the horrors of the assad government. Despite the serious humanitarian crises being the worst and most extreme of its kind, International Efforts have failed to hear syrias warning. Reporter last year when the Mother Daughter Team took me to the border with syria, hall achlt talked about her american roots. She was born in North Carolina. And how heartbroken she had been over the death of Kayla Mueller, the american who had come to the region to help the Syrian Refugees fleeing war. Im very american. Im very syrian at the same time. So we fit together very easily. Shes so young to have this experience to happen. To be dead at this time, at this age. Reporter Kayla Muellers parents told abc news we are numb and do not understand how anyone could do this to our gracious and beautiful friends. The funeral for halla and Orouba Barakat will be held today in istanbul. Because halla was an american citizen, the fbi says it will investigate. Brian ross, abc news, new york. Such a tragedy.

And game day reporter maria taylor joins us from just outside our studios in times square. Maria, good morning to you. Thanks for joining us. I know this is a really exciting time for game day. I understand the idea to do game day in times square was born a couple of years ago, but why times square . Good morning, paula. As you can see, theres a lot of College Football fans in new york city. They did a little bit of research and found out theres actually 32 fbs bars just within a mile of our setup here and theyre opening up at like 8 00 a. M. Fans will be there cheering on their teams. Its just kind of cool to bring such a great show to the city of new york, in the middle of times square, and people were out here at 6 00 a. M. They were already here ready to go. This is impressive to see and i know there was controversy when you guys first announced that you would be coming to manhattan because its not a College Football town per se, there are no major College Football teams but so many here in manhattan went to those big schools. Looks like youre expecting quite a turnout. And even if they didnt like you, paula, youre still a fan of michigan football. Go blue. They identify with College Football and were bringing it to them for this one week. Plus its kind of cool to be sitting in front of the ball and seeing a bunch of fans here and talking about College Football in the city. Its iconic and looks amazing. I hear youre flying to iowa right after the show for the iowa penn state game. What can you tell us about that matchup .
