Millions in Southern California still reeling after the onetwo punch of major earthquakes. They should serve as a wakep callor the entire country. Well talk aut that with al, but lets start with lester holt. In california when the quakes hit. He feltit. Od morning. Good morning. Like millions of others here in Southern California, we felt it pretty strong. Friday eveng, we we in a Movie Theater in santa monica and knew right away it was bigger than the day before. Everybody stays calm at first but then the shaking got stronger and a lot of us decided selfevacuate. We got out. Pretty scary, especially considering we were over 100 miles away from the worst of it. Lets go for thosehe living near t epicenter of the massive 7. 1 magnitude earthquake, a size mm shift in more ways than one. I dont know if any of us f willl safe here again. Housands of small after shocks have hit since fridays quake, which followed a 6. 4 shock the day before. Some families s haverted sleeping outside as a precaution. Its traumatizing to be inside. The quake felt as far away as l. A. , las vegas, phene, even salaamento. Png out on the tremor sparking fires, damaging structures, and leaving a fiscr. Giving a small glimpse of the energy vibrating from below, but thankfully, no lives were lost and no major iuries reported. I dont like the fear. Had a quake this size happened in a more populated area, Officials Say the loss of life could have been devastating. On the lang run, well have a lot more earthquakes and a lot stronger shaking. You have to go over this huge cracks and crevis in the road. In a small town, around 50 homes sustained damages. These high desert communities had beenvetruggling en before the quake. This may now, some are looking to rebu hoping this wont proveild tnd be a lasting setba. Any time we can go through a 7. 1 earthquake without a fatality, without a major injury, to not suffer structural damage thats significant, thats a blessing and a miracle. Experts hope it serve as a wae prepared at any moment. Ma people in Southern California doing exactly that this morning, shopping for emergency supplies, refreshing their go bags and rehearsing what to do when, not if, when another quake hits. That must have been something sitting in the dark theelter and eling the earth move beneath you. Thank right now, lets go to al. And mr. Roker, whats been driving these earthqllkes . We basically, those tectonic plates of shifting, and again, the problem is you cant forecast when. Once theypp ha, we do know there will be many aftershocks. This was a 7. 1 earth quake. It was fel as far away as 400 miles in a radius from San Francisco out to phoenix. Interesting e thing. We have seen a lot of aftershocks. 2400 aftershocks of 2. 0 or better, but look at this. Since friday, there have been over 500 aftershocks, 527 aftershocks, 3. 0 or better. And there could be ones that are at the same magnitude as the original quake. So were not done yet. The problem is nobody knows when and how many of these aftershocks there are going be, but people, as you heard from lester, are going to be standing by on alert for the next several weeks. Absolutely, al. Thank you. Now to a new developme inhe immigration battle.

I want the press to go in and see them. Were going to send people in. The president also calling a report from the New York Times describing crying children and inadequate medical care inside the clint, texas, facility, a hoax. The New York Times, it f really ise news. On sunday, acting director of the department of Homeland Security disputed the accounts of squalid conditions. Im not denying there are challenging conditions at the border. What can can tell you there is accurate food, water. It comes days after some democratic members of congress toured two texas border facilities, furious over wha. This is them on their best behavior, and they put them in rooms with no running water. And these women were being told by cbp officers to drink out of the toilet. A gump rowatchdog last week released images of what they describe as dangerous a overcrowding those facilities, and across the country, protests under the hashtag closethecamps demanding those centers be shut down. Senator jeff merkley said hes stunned when trump administrationicials say reports are unsubstantiated. Im like, what world are they living in . From every directioee you s the children are being treated in a horrific manner. And theres an underlying philosophy tha its okay to treat refugees in this fashion. This is a fight that will head to capitol hill in a few days. Congressional democrats want two top officls including the akding dhs secretary to appear before them. At least one democrat said she would sua suba if thestratie Administration Officials dont show. Theres a new poll the white house is feeling good about.

The ambassador has not served the. Uk well i can tell you that. Were not big fans of that man. Britain is now invesgating the embarrassing leak. Its a job of ambassadors to give frank, personal opinions abou whats going on inhe countries they operate, and our ambassador was just doing his job. But those are personal views.

She is back on the court this morning, a chance to make history once again, and a fierc opponent, too. Blayne alexander at the all england club this morning. Good morning to you. Well, savannah, good morning to you. Its so hard to believe that coco gauff has reached the final 16 before even hitting her 16th birthday. Shes theoungest to ever qualify for wimbledon. A week ago this time, most people had never even heard cocos name. S nows taken tennis by storm and the world cant stop watching. This morning, 15yearold coco gauff takes on week two. A wimbledon rookie, but watching her on the court, you would playing mixed doubles saturday with partner jay clark, she suffered her first wimbledon loss. But it todays singles match that carries the weight. And it could be a tough one. Shell face off against simona halep, a player who has been ranked number one in the wor but after fridays incredible comeback, coco has me it clear she does not give up easily. People were in the crowd behind me every step of the way. And thats something i really appreciated during the match. Now, the world cant get enou.

At age 37,he tennis great is also chasing history. A win at wimbledon would mean a tie for the most grand slam titles ever. Talking about serena, we know coco beat venus, her idol. It is possible she could face serenaoo in this tournament . That is a possibility. Ift its still a little ways away. Hat were to happen, it would only happen in the finals. Essentially they would both have to win today and win two more matches, but it is within the realm of possibility. Certainly it would be one that would be a mustwatch, guys. Absolutely. I think at this point, were not counting out coco for anything, but she does have r ally tough opponent today, an experienced player. Did on ng what she friday, i mean, come on. Unbelievable, that match. It wa how far down was she . Match point. She saved match point, she was down 52. I thought its over. I was literally consoling my daughter because she wanted coco to win. Was like, i dont know that cocos going to win today, sweetie, dont think so. Then point by point, she showed so much grit and so much maturity, so much heart. How far could she go . In life . In the its tough today, but i think she could win. Shes shes fearless. Shes going for it. Shes playing her game. She can play when s can you imagine.

Now to the remarkable story of two really remarkable athletes. More importantly, two really good guys. Shaquem and Shaquill Griffin. And shaquem is doing it with one hand. They have a new book called inseparable, how family and sacrifice forged a path to the nfl. Theres the book. Guys, good to see you again. Thank you for having us. We met a few years ago when the entire country was captivated by your story and the idea that a guy with just one hand could get drafted in the nfl. You did it. Youre in theleague. Youre playing with your twin brother on the same team. Its a great story. Why decide to write about it now . What was the inking . Feel like what motivated us is first off, the way we were raised. In a household where it was based on family, faith, love, caring, and if y have a story to tell, tell it. If youre going on a situation he went through, we have both been through, and to overcome it, we wanted to relate to everybody and get a chance to give back and kind of share and be able to relate to others. So like i said, we have story to tell. And were supposed to tell it. Shaquem, you told me apl c years ago. One of the reasons you think you thought you made it to the league is you father never treated you like you were different. He created this workout room where you could li weights and do allhe other things kids could do, it was just modified. Talk to me about how your family not treating you diffe you gor. F me, it created grit for me to know i can do anything i put my mind to, allowing my parents and brothers to push me andot allow me to create excuses for myself, allowed me to be that competitor i am today. They taught me so much. My broer was proith beside me every step ofhe way, we were competing in everything we were doing. Without my parts saying the were no excuses, no limits for me, i wouldnt be here today. You were born with aiotic band syndrome, and you had to ha your hand amputated at the age of 4. You tell stories and talk about how they overcame as well. Why was that such an important part of the story for you . Because me growing up, idi t see it much. And now that i have the opportunity, now thatn im o this platform, im able to use it and share it with my brother, see so many people and kids who have liv their lives, their best life, and being able to accomplish so many things, and wh youre able to see that and see more of it, that means youre doing something. And you spent aim lot of with these folks, too. This has become quite the cause for you. Definitely. Its fun for me. In the beginning, it was like, so many people are writing to me, how can i reach to out everybody, but i try to get as many people as i can. Its humbling. It feels good, and just to see the expressions and the way they feel about everything. You can learn so much. And when its coming from somebody with a limb different and seeing how courageous they are and how happy they are and not worried about them missing limbs but the next thing theynt o do, if its running, playing ball, swimming, theyre worried abou missing. Lets talk about your personal lives. Youre twins, and not only are you twins, youre incredibly close. Similar hair styles, similar shoes. Is it true that when you look to date, you look to date twins as well . I read that somewhere. Is there you dont have to lk at him. Is that yeah, it was one point in time where we felt like we wanted to live together, marry twins. The living together pt is still coming along. The marry twins part is atl lit tough. So were going to let if you could blush, you would. Lets talk lets talk football. Lets talk football. Both playing for tseahawks. Youre going into your third season, youre going into your second season. How would you rateis first season . It was good. We know hes wanting to start as a linebacker, but he contributed more in special teams. He made sure he did it correctln most guys i the situation feel like if im not playing, they feel like they should just forget that and focus on just one bposition, he never did that. He focused so when his time came, he was ready and was that guy to make plays. Shaquem, has b yourther been helpful . Definitely, every step of the way. Just being able to keep a calm head and being able to takey whatever theive me and be able to give my all and give verything i have, you know, obviously, the goal is to start and be that guy, but you have to take whatever role they give you and play to the best of y r abilities and have guys like my brother there to be beside me to be the best player i am, no matt what im doing. Do you feel like now, i mean, you have been drafted. Yo are playing on the team. Are you ready for us to Start Talking about something besides the fact you had your amputated . Definitely. In due time, it will come. I have to keep doing whats im doing, keep motivating people, keep playing ball, makes plays. One day, its going to be shaquem griffin, the football player.
