husband now facing charges for killing his wife in his sleep. ♪ baby baby baby and breaking baby news. princess kate and prince william revealing they're expecting baby number three. what we're learning about kate's condition and the new royal sibling for george and charlotte. ♪ baby baby oh and good morning, america. great to have you with us on this labor day. very exciting baby news for princess kate and prince william and you, paula, know a thing or two about having three kids around the house. >> yeah, this is what you find out what you're made of as parents when you go from man coverage to zone coverage. we want to say good luck to the prince and princess, congratulations to them. we'll have much more ahead. first breaking developments on north korea. another test could be coming as they condemn them over their largest test yet. kim jong-un's regime saying they successfully detonated a hydrogen bomb and terry moran is near terry moran is near the border in seoul. good morning to you, terry. >> reporter: good morning, paula. this is a huge step forward for north korea. make no mistake about it. and as you say, it looks like there's more to come. the south korean government saying they see preparations for another ballistic missile test by north korea so they are accelerating the deployment of advanced missile defense systems with the u.s. kim jong-un is sending a message here and it's crystal clear. he wants a full-fledged nuclear capability and right now nothing is slowing him down. this morning, a show of force by the south korean military, f-15 fighter jets on live fire maneuver and missiles launched all simulating an attack on the north, the day after north korea celebrated its sixth and most alarming nuclear test yet. kim jong-un, the north korean dictator, posed smiling and proud just hours before the blast showing off what pyongyang claimed is a hydrogen bomb, vastly more powerful than the ones dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki and capable of fitting on the head of an intercontinental missile. those some experts say that's a fake bomb in the photo. on north korean state-run television people cheered news of the test which triggered a major 6.4 magnitude earthquake, that's more than ten times the force of their previous attempt last september. after attending church service sunday, the president was asked directly if he plans a military strike on north korea. >> mr. president, will you attack north korea? >> we'll see. >> reporter: u.s. defense secretary jim mattis, somber and stern, issuing an ominous warning. after meeting with the president. >> any threat to the united states or its territories including guam or our allies will be met with a massive military response. we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely north korea, but as i said we have many options to do so. >> reporter: president trump also firing off a series of responses via twitter saying the rogue nation's words and actions are very hostile and dangerous to the united states. hitting not just north korea but also u.s. ally south korea for not being tough enough. their talk of appeasement with north korea will not work, he tweeted, they only understand one thing. with a series of 13 launches beginning in february, the regime has demonstrated it's rapidly developing nuclear capabilities and a range of possible targets prompting president trump to hurl this threat in august. >> they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. >> reporter: but kim jong-un is quickly changing the equation. he will soon be able to make his own threats of nuclear fire and fury against the u.s. homeland entirely credible. the north korean nuclear blast came at almost the exact minute that chinese leader xi jinping was opening a major economic conference, almost as if kim jong-un is taunting the chinese too. the u.n. security council will meet this morning in emergency session to try to get a handle on this crisis, dan. >> seems like he's taunting many targets. terry mother -- moran, thank you. for more on this let's bring in our military analyst steve ganyard. steve, good morning. as simply as you can, can you explain the difference between the atomic bombs that the north koreans have tested previously and this new bomb. >> i think the easiest way to think about it, think about a firecracker, that's what their original atomic bomb was and what we saw yesterday was a whole stick of dynamite, it was six times more -- what we saw yesterday was six times more than what they had previously done and eight times more than what the u.s. dropped on hiroshima. once they perfect it, it will be ten times larger and more capable than their original atomic weapon. >> okay,o, that's all pretty horrifying. now there's talk of another missile launch coming soon, perhaps. how significant a provocation would that be? >> i think we look at it both as a provocation and how deliberate kim is being in developing his nuclear weapons program so we know that the last launch went over japan. if he really wanted to stretch the legs of his icbms he's going to need to do that again and put it between alaska and hawaii to demonstrate the range. it continues to be a developmental program to have a credible, capable and reliable means to hit the continental united states with a nuclear weapon. >> there are many people who feel the u.s. doesn't have any viable military options here. that's starting a war in the korean peninsula and would be too costly in terms of human life but living with a nuclear north korea or a north korea that could hit us with a nuke, is that really tenable? can't they just hold us hostage indefinitely in that case? >> dan, i think one of the things to think about, yesterday we saw the demonstration of a thermonuclear device so any kind of preventive attack, military attack on the north, could involve eventually the exchange of thermonuclear weapons so we'll have to learn to live with a nuclear north korea but also need to be able to stop them on their proliferation of wmd. >> steve ganyard with some unsettling news on this monday morning, thank you. >> certainly disturbing to hear how powerful that h-bomb was. thanks, dan. and president trump is holding an urgent meeting in the wake of that and jon karl is in washington with the very latest on the options, both trade and military that the trump administration is now considering. jon, good morning to you, and first and foremost, what can you tell us about the options that the white house is contemplating this morning? >> reporter: well, first on the nonmilitary side, he's talking about something that is the economic equivalent of a nuclear strike, the president tweeted and his treasury secretary said that he was working on a plan that would cut off all trade, paula, all trade with any country that trades with north korea. of course, the biggest trading partner north korea has is also our biggest trading partner, china. this would be a massive economic step with serious repercussions. in terms of military options, the interesting thing what you heard from general mattis is that they are looking at -- they are threatening annihilation, a major strike against north korea for the threat, for any threat to the united states, guam or our ally. >> strong words there. let's shift gears a little bit. jon, back at home we're expecting a ruling on daca which will determine the fate of 800,000 d.r.e.a.m.ers. the constitutionality has long been questioned since president obama carried it out without congress. but what do you expect to happen? >> the president is moving toward a step that would do away with it but over a period of time, a period of several months. they would give congress the time to do this in what the white house sees as a constitutional way, of course, paula, there is no guarantee that congress would do that. >> all right, jon karl, thanks for your analysis this morning. dan. >> jon, thank you. for more on all the big stories of the morning let's bring in matthew dowd. matt, good morning. let's start with the d.r.e.a.m.ers. could ending this program be politically perilous for the president? >> i think the president is in a really difficult situation right now. the country instead of looking for a commander in chief is looking for a chief of compassion and that program obviously affects 800,000 people. he has kicked the can down the road and looks like he'll give it to congress. the president is in a difficult bind. he promises base one thing but i think he knows the country wants something else today. >> he seems to have been struggling with this quite publicly. let's get back to north korea. president trump, he has spoken with some seriously bellicose language talking about fire and fury. has he possibly boxed himself in with these aggressive remarks? >> well, i think not only he's boxed himself in but our country has boxed themselves in. this has been a problem that's ongoing for the last 30 years and i think it's time that we finally come to the conclusion as, yes, he's going to have a nuclear weapon and how do we deal with that? we have to deal with that through some sort of deterrents or containment. the president has to come to the conclusion that north korea has a weapon. what do we do now in dealing with that. >> matt dowd, we always appreciate your analysis. thanks for joining us. >> thanks. >> paula, over to you. now to the latest on hurricane irma, a category 3 storm right now. it is strengthening by the minute and it's closing in on the caribbean but models show it could be headed for the southeast. ginger is here tracking it all for us. good morning to you, ginger. >> good morning to you, paula. so much interest in the storm because everyone is very hurricane weary right now. we should be prepping but not yet freaking out. here's why. we don't have a definitive answer on u.s. landfall. it is a strong still category 3 moving west a little southwest but it eventually will take more of a west-northwest turn. the northern leeward islands are under hurricane watch, that's happening wednesday into thursday. north of puerto rico this track takes it and then into the southern bahamas by the weekend. that's the big thing that you have to pay attention to. the weekend, so we're talking about still almost a week before it would impact the united states or have the potential to do so. we put a couple of computer spaghetti plots on just to give you an idea, anywhere from mobile bay up the coast to north carolina, dan. >> so you say don't freak out now but still concerning nonetheless. as we closely watch hurricane irma, millions of people are cleaning up from hurricane harvey. the crisis far from over. neighborhoods struggling to recover as waters recede. the storm killing at least 44 people and damaging or destroying more than 185,000 homes. abc's victor oquendo is right there on the ground in houston for us yet again this morning. victor, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. this is what so many neighborhoods across the region look like this morning. piles of debris just lining the streets. here it looks like we have an entire bedroom set on display. the headboard, a dresser with clothes still coming out of it. a big chair over there right next to it but here's the thing in this area at least they're dry. we found one neighborhood in west houston that's still underwater. this morning, another round of mandatory evacuations for about 4600 homes and crews ordered to cut power to many to reduce the risk of electrocutions. more than a week since harvey hit and unbelievably potential for more rising waters leading to a new mandate from houston's mayor. >> if you got water in your home, i'm requiring you to evacuate. >> reporter: in bear creek village in houston, water still as high as five feet. we took a ride with the harris county sheriff's office. the army and atf where they patrol looting and make sure no more rescues are needed. on the trip we came across numerous neighbors trying to check on their flooded homes. these two right behind me here they are actually using whatever they can to paddle. one has what looks like the end of a broomstick. can't tell what the other part is, maybe part of a bed. the water has receded a little bit here. if you take a look on that wall you can see part of the water line has gone down a few feet but still under -- tough to say, maybe three or four feet of water. >> reporter: cars still underwater. hoods damaged by boat propellers. residents told it may take weeks before it recedes. >> seven foot of water total devastation. >> reporter: the ongoing search under way. >> we hope we don't find bodies in there because the water level is so high it hasn't fully receded so we don't know who evacuated and who didn't. >> reporter: and today some homeowners breaking apart their homes throwing all waterlogged materials into the street. >> it's not just debris, like this is your life. >> yep. yep. that chair right there we got from sherry's grandmother. that's probably 100 years old. >> reporter: and while the rest of the country is in back-to-school mode, houston on major delay. 53 houston schools with major damage and 22 with extensive damage. the superintendent says an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 students will need to be temporarily moved to new schools. the cleanup process is well under way here. but for those people in west houston, those homes could be under water for four months. dan. >> such a disaster for all those families. thank you. abc news will stay on this story, our michael strahan will have much more live from his hometown of houston right here tomorrow on "gma." we want to turn to the threat out west where los angeles is dealing with the biggest wildfire in the city's history. abc's marci gonzalez has more from the scene. >> reporter: firefighters working through the night, a state of emergency in california as dozens of wildfires burn. including the largest blaze ever recorded in the city of los angeles. >> and this is the biggest fire in 50 years, one of the biggest fires in our entire history. >> reporter: scorching more than 7,000 acres of the iconic hills surrounding the country's second largest city. a wall of smoke towering above l.a. neighborhoods. homes destroyed. this man using a garden hose on his roof trying to keep the flames at bay. shutting down a major freeway more than a thousand forced to evacuate. >> it's not over yet. once we get this fire out, you have mudslides. >> reporter: but now some progress in the firefight. the inferno 30% contained and evacuation orders lifted, but more wildfires are burning across seven other states. >> it's nerve-racking, that's for sure. >> reporter: this one in oregon police say was started by fireworks. >> that's toasty. >> reporter: leaving more than 150 hikers stranded overnight saturday. first responders dropping notes from helicopters with a warning to shelter in place. all of them finally rescued and in washington state, the jolly mountain fire now charring 18,000 acres and growing. and back here in l.a. some embers still burning at this house which you can see was leveled. this stove about the only recognizable thing left and this is just a part of the destruction this fire left behind. dan and paula. >> yeah, you can't understate the severe weather of the situation. marci, thanks for your reporting. now on a much lighter note let's talk about that breaking baby news. princess kate and prince william announcing they're expecting their third child, a new sibling for george and charlotte, and we're looking for someone british to cover it and we found abc's nick watt. good morning to you. >> so offensive, dan. anyway, this i think was an unscheduled announcement. kate was supposed to be at work she pulled out at the last minute and palace officials came up with an explanation and the explanation is morning sickness. this morning, baby news from the royal family. kensington palace revealing that the duke and duchess of cambridge will welcome their third child. the queen is said to be delighted with the news of a new great grandchild. the duchess of cambridge is once again being treated for severe morning sickness at kensington palace canceling her planned engagement this morning at the hornsby children center. the condition, hyperemesis gravidarum, hospitalized the duchess during her first pregnancy and requires extra hydration, medication and nutrients. the new royal, baby sister or brother, for princess charlotte and prince george will now be fifth in line to the throne after grandfather, father, big brother and big sister pushing uncle prince harry down one spot. harry is apparently not upset by that. he was out and about this morning, someone shouted, hey, harry, what did you think, he said great news, fantastic. we're already talking names, i'm afraid. a bookmaker has arthur, alice, victoria, henry as the favorites. baby due april, may, something like that. >> arthur sounds like there's good history behind it. >> absolutely. >> congratulations to them. thanks. >> sorry for offending you. >> no, you're not. >> dan usually offends everybody now and then. ginger, a serious situation out in montana? >> there has been. this is montana, one of the many fires there, 75 large wildfires burning across the west. there have been evacuations in several of these fires but montana still with those red flag warnings and the smoke alerts, the entire state smothered and this has been the case for so many folks. so we wanted to make mention of that. good monday morning. i'm mike nicco, it's a colorful sunrise, don't let that fool you, that's dirty air. there's a slight chance of a storm today, and a lesser chance tomorrow. mainly cloudy, above average tonight. i have a slow cooling trend. 70s to 90s in today's forecast. tonight is going to be milder than normal. wednesday through saturday coming up on "gma," a murder mystery. a bizarre one. did cold medicine turn an aspiring pastor into a killer? the chilling new 911 call just released as a husband now faces charges for killing his wife. arges for killing his wife.

"gma" has been taking a look at the creative ways first responders are using drones to save lives. in fact they call it a crucial piece of rescue equipment and now we know they're using them right now in the wake of hurricane harvey. we've got three rescue boats here. in the urgent effort to save lives amid harvey's massive devastation rescuers take to boats, helicopters, even jet skis but also making their way to the front lines, drones, the texas-based public safety uas response team deploying to the houston area last week. their eye in the sky spotting structural damage to this building forcing workers to evacuate. >> the roof was caving in and there were people in there working. >> reporter: the team also inspecting critical levees protecting neighborhoods. >> and then we're taking that video and streaming it back to the emergency operations center allowing them to make the decisions that they need to make on the recovery efforts and where we go forward. >> reporter: these aircraft deployable in just minutes, more agile and up to 400 times cheaper than using a helicopter. outside of harvey we found drones being used by firefighters who outfit them with thermal imaging cams. >> it's better information and with better information comes better decisions. it's the next best thing to the fire hose. >> reporter: to show what it can do i'm led into a fire training facility with smoke. that's me on the right. i crouch down in the corner playing a trapped victim. from the outside there's no way for rescuers to know if anyone is inside but a quick view with that thermal and there i am. high-tech firefighting. that's the way to do it. our final scenario search and rescue. in june, a drone spotting these two lost colorado hikers and their dog in just two hours. and as night falls here i head into the woods, the drone delivering a kind of lifeline, a radio with a glow stick attached for easy spotting. i have the walkie-talkie. i'm not hurt. >> we will send a search team for you right now. >> reporter: then something i never expected. they have a spotlight on a drone. this is the kind of spotlight you might expect from a helicopter. you found us! i can't believe it. and that was a drone, believe it. incredibly more than 300 state and local agencies have added drones to their arsenals and tens of thousands of lives have been saved because of them in just the past few years. if you thought these were just toys, forget about it. >> think again. it's so encouraging to see them using drones for something positive. >> that's right. >> glad you're safe, by the way. >> thank you. >> yes, and great job covering the floods. this is the wave of the future. coming up next, our big board. and the question, the end of the summer blockbuster. why we're seeing one of the worst labor day box office showings in years. couples: how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. let's go re-ed! let's go!k!

"transformers," the fifth installment didn't perform as well as expected and "pirates." those franchise movies that have been sort of box office surefire were not so great overall. also, studios didn't release anything new this weekend and recently haven't really released huge new movies. some in anticipation of next weekend's movie "it." which is anticipated to do really, really well so i think for this weekend studios wanted to shy away from that upcoming sort of big-time box office hit. >> does anybody benefit from this kind of slow weekend at the box office other than netflix? >> well, they do but also the holdovers, "the hitman's bodyguard" and "annabelle creation," in their third and fourth weeks respectively, have maintained the top spot so if for no other reason lack of competition have served them well in maintaining their big run at the box office. >> "the hollywood reporter" said hollywood may have abandoned labor day. ticket sales are down 15%. so many say there's no good movies to see. >> you hear that a lot. the same old thing but look at what did well.

that's why president obama had to act unilaterally because congress couldn't get it done. thanks for your reporting. following a big and unnerving weather story this morning. hurricane irma gaining strength barreling toward the caribbean, people along the east coast of the united states are closely watching this storm so is our chief meteorologist ginger zee. hey, ginger. >> hey, dan, 120-mile-per-hour winds, has strengthened since the 5:00 a.m. update. we're tracking irma and anybody that lives from florida up through the outer banks has to pay attention and prepare ahead of time. here's the hurricane watches in place right now. the northern leeward island that includes st. barts. a couple others around here and here's the track, notice the timing. this is so important because we're still talking about late weekend, early next week and that's why we can't give you a definitive answer as to where it would make landfall in the united states. but we really want to watch a lot of these caribbean islands, of course, we put on the spaghetti computer model plots. everything wants to see them. this is why there's not agreement. they stretch anywhere from north carolina down through florida and even into the panhandle of florida. so much time ahead. get your water and all that stuff now. >> rooting for that thing to go back out to sea. all right, ginger, thank you. j.j. watt's new message as he and the houston texans and you help the victims of hurricane harvey. more on princess kate's big baby news and the condition she's suffering from. dr. ashton is here to explain. who is coming back to "dancing with the stars"?

>> possibly so it's often described as severe morning sickness on that spectrum of severity. i think that's very inaccurate from a medical standpoint. we're talking about the potential for severe malnutrition, electrolyte abnormality, sodium, potassium and in some cases organ failure so really i think that hypemesis gravidarum is severe morning sickness like hurricane harvey was a little bit of rain. >> so that's quite an understatement. what are the specific symptoms that kate's probably going through right now. >> you know, a lot of women have a little bit of nausea and vomiting. with hg you're talking about vomiting that could be every hour or more than every hour and really doesn't stop at the end of the first trimester like most cases do. then you're talking about the potential for severe weight loss, dehydration, low blood pressure, potentially organ failure. i mean this can take a woman from being just bed bound to being needed to be hospitalized. >> shows how tough she is because she experienced this the last two pregnancies and decided to do it all over again but we know she's treated at kensington palace. what can be done to ease those symptoms. >> it depends on the severity and on the consequences to the pregnant mom. we're taking care of two lives so both have to be considered even in the first trimester but treatment at some points can need iv hydration, there can be medications, typically we use some that work centrally in the brain and in the g.i. tract and then we're talking about potentially some rest, some certain diets and alternative therapies and i have seen pregnant women need i.v. or even tube feeds for nutrition and hydration. it can be very, very serious. >> sounds so serious and we know you have so much experience with this, especially delivering over 1500 babies so if you are experiencing symptoms from hg, advice from dr. ashton. >> it affects not just that pregnant woman but her spouse and the whole family so take it day by day. >> thanks, jen. congrats to the royal family but send things over to ginger. >> hi there. we have a big announcement this morning. and i'm joined by some friends but this is about the launch of watch on facebook. a collaboration with abc news to bring you original content from great new shows that you're going to love. we're joined by the star of the new show "career canines" two american heroes, wess brown and his dog isky, everybody. always good to have a puppy around especially this one. isky was injured in afghanistan and that was from an explosion. is it great for you to now see that he's getting the attention he deserves?
