What were learning this morning about the president ial candidates condition. Hospitalized for a heart procedure and what it means for his campaign. Deadly crash.

The viral homeless opera singer going from the subway to seeing a dream come true. And good morning, america. Hope you are well this thursday morning. It is a busy one. It is. We have that reaction overnight to the sentencing of amber guyger, the former Dallas Police officer convicted of murdering her neighbor, botham jean, and this powerful, powerful moment. His brother, 18 years old, hugging her, asking the judge if he could hug her. Very powerful, indeed. Guyger, she was sentenced to ten years in prison. That sentence also sparking some tense protests overnight. Marcus moore is there in dallas and hes going to start us off with the latest. Good morning, marcus. Reporter well, michael, good morning. Amber guyger is just beginning that tenyear prison sentence the punishment handed down in a dramatic court hearing. Moments after the controversial sentencing sentence the defendants punishment at ten years imprisonment. Reporter botham jeans younger brother brandt stunned the courtroom with faith and grace. But i love you just like anyone else, and im not going to say i hope you rot and die just like my brother did, but i i personally want the best for you, and i wasnt going to ever say this in front of my family or anyone, but i dont even want you to go to jail. I want the best for you. Because i know thats exactly what botham would want you to do. Reporter judge tammy kemp in tears as he turned to her with an unusual request. Can i give her a hug, please . Please. Reporter moments later, the judge handing a bible to guyger speaking with her imploring her to change. Outside the courtroom, outrage from those who felt the tenyear sentence was far too short. Prosecutors had asked for 28, bothams age, his birthday would have been this week. [ crowd chanting ] reporter guygers defense team believes the sentence was appropriate. They got to see true remorse that she had and in the end i think that played a big part in the tenyear sentence rather than something much more lengthy that the prosecution wanted. Reporter jeans family says they hope their sons death will force the Dallas Police department to reexamine its training methods. I believe that something need to be done. Revisit some of the procedures, some of the will handling the situation. I sincerely believe that and i hope this, what occurred with my son, will bring that change. Reporter and botham jeans mother told me overnight shes proud of her son, what he did for his own healing but for forgiveness doesnt absolve amber guyger of her crimes, nor does it end their call for change. Michael. You know, marcus, so much emotion at the courthouse yesterday on both sides. But what was it like at the courthouse after the sentencing . Reporter well, you know, michael, it was remarkable. Tears of anger, people upset about the tenyear prison sentence. Then you contrast what we saw inside the courtroom, tears of a different sort. Tears as a man embraced the woman who killed his brother. Incredible moment of forgiveness and grace, thank you so much, marcus moore. George. So many powerful emotions. Were going to move on now to washington for the latest on the impeachment battle. The committees interviewing a key witness today as President Trump escalates his attacks on Top Democrats and questions about how President Trump enlisted Vice President mike pence and other top officials in his attempts to pressure ukraine and pedal conspiracy theories about his opponents. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega starts us off. Another escalation, House Democrats now set to subpoena the white house. Reporter exactly, george. Good morning to you. Democrats say theyre going to do what it takes to move this impeachment inquiry forward and as you said, Vice President mike pence is now being pulled into this growing controversy. This morning, the Washington Post reporting President Trump repeatedly enlisted Vice President mike pence to join in his Pressure Campaign on ukraine. The president reportedly instructing pence to skip the inauguration of ukraines new leader, volodymyr zelensky, the paper also says President Trump used pence to inform zelensky that u. S. Military aid was being withheld. I think you should ask for vp pences conversation because he had a couple of conversations. Reporter but according to the post, officials close to pence say he was unaware the president had also pressured zelensky for damaging information on political rival joe biden, even though the paper says one of his top advisers was listening in on that fateful july phone call now at the center of the impeachment inquiry. A spokeswoman for the Vice President telling abc news, pence directly and effectively delivered the president s anticorruption and european burdensharing messages overseas and upon his return the Financial Aid to ukraine was released. And now the House Democrats are turning up the heat giving the Trump Administration until tomorrow to hand over a trove of documents related to the controversy enveloping this white house threatening to issue subpoenas. Will you cooperate with those subpoenas . Well, i always cooperate. This is a hoax. Reporter the president repeatedly lashing out on the whistleblower to impeach a president over a fraud that was committed by other people that want to win an election in 2020, which they wont, is incredible. Reporter and he used a profanity we cant repeat about democrats impeachment inquiry but asked a key question, what specifically he wanted ukraine to do about joe biden, the president would not say. Listen, are you ready . We have the president of finland. Ask him a question. I have one for him but i just wanted to follow up on did you hear me . Yes. Ask him a question. I will. Ive given you a long answer. I answered everything. Its a whole hoax. Reporter and overnight, former Vice President joe biden defended his role in ukraine and said he was simply carrying out official u. S. Policy and he also addressed President Trump directly saying im not going anywhere. You are not going to destroy me. Robin. All right, cecilia, thank you very much. We saw the president also taking on the speaker. You had a chance to sit down with her yesterday. Thats right, robin. She is leading the battle for the House Democrats, shes all in and we sat down as the president was unleashing that series of attacks on her from the white house. Madam speaker, thank you for doing this. My pleasure. Thank you. It may not surprise you the president was watching your press conference and heard you talk about wanting to do prescription drugs and now hes calling you the do nothing democrats. Says you cant do it. Why cant we do it . Its up to him. That was our pledge during the campaign for the people. We would lower the cost of prescription drugs. I think that the president wants to do that. So i hope that he would cooperate. He doesnt does want the u. S. Mexico Canada Free trade agreement, so do we. Were on a path to yes. I think he knows the argument that can be made against him and hes scared, and hes trying to divert attention from that, to where its standing. You say hes scared. He had another tweet right after the one i just talked to you about where he used a word im not going to repeat right here. Did you hear the fear in his voice when you spoke with him on the phone . There was surprise in his voice when he didnt understand that i thought what he did was wrong, that he was undermining our National Security, that he was undermining our constitution by his actions, and he was undermining the integrity of our elections. He just didnt see it but, again, he confirmed that that is what the conversation was as had been reported in the Public Domain and that when i actually saw it in writing id be so pleased. But one of the things you have heard from the president s defenders, there is no explicit quid pro quo in the call. Is that necessary for impeachment . No, its not necessary but there is a quid pro quo if youre only a couple of days apart and granting or withholding and then asking for a favor to create dirt on your political opponent. The president did engage in using the leverage of our National Security, legislation that was passed by the house and the senate in the interest of our National Security to give military assistance to ukraine. In both the nixon and the clinton cases the house passed a formal resolution to set up the inquiry. Why not take that step . We could. We dont have to, but we could. You know who is most afraid of that command . The republicans because theyll have to decide. Wouldnt that make the process even more airtight . No, its not necessary. We feel that were on very firm ground as we go forward and we may go to that place just because its a republican talking point but its not necessary. I know you support chairman schiff, but was it right for him to have that dramatic interpretation of the president s phone call at the hearing last week . I want the American People to know what that phone call was about. I want them to hear it, so yeah. Its fair. Its sad, but its using the president s own words. Those werent the president s words. That was an interpretation. Theyre saying he made this up. He did not make it up. Look, i want to tell you something, when i took the oath of office to support and defend the constitution as my colleagues have done as well, i did not say i will do this as long as the republicans can understand the constitution. So the fact that their loyalty is to trump and not the constitution is not going to slow down or impair our ability to keep the republic. Has this process passed the point of no return . Is an Impeachment Vote inevitable in the house . I dont think so. We just go forward and follow the facts. I dont think that. There are some people saying, why are you calling for an inquiry . I think you should call to impeach. I dont think that would be fair, and it isnt worthy of the constitution. We should collect the facts. And one of the things you can see how determined she is to go period and the democrats are going at a quick pace right now, so i want to bring in our Senior National correspondent terry moran on capitol hill. And, terry, the first key witness will be before one of those committees today, the house intelligence committee. Reporter thats right. Its a pitched partisan battle behind closed doors, as that crucial witness, kurt volker, takes the stand and answers questions before three house committees. Volker is so important because he was the Trump Administrations special envoy to ukraine. Hes the man right in the middle of all of this. He resigned last week after the whistleblower said he was helping navigate for the ukrainians these demands that the bidens be investigated. Okay, terry. A knife attack in police in paris, breaking news. George, this is breaking right now. Details are still coming into us. We understand that at 1 00 p. M. Local time, an attacker armed with a knife broke into the Main Police Headquarters in paris just across the street from notre dame. Killing at least four Police Officers before the attacker was shot and killed. We understand the attacker was reportedly an employee. The subway station near the headquarters has now been shut down. The countrys interior minister are rushing to the scene. The motive at this point is unclear. We dont know if its terror related. Paris has had a number of terror attacks in recekrencent years. Michael . A Training Exercise going wrong at a military base in mississippi. At least 22 paratroopers injured after jumping from a c130 plane getting blown off course landing in trees. This led to an intense search and rescue effort. An Army Spokesman says seven people were taken to the hospital, and thankfully no one suffered lifethreatening injuries. Thankfully. Thankfully, indeed. Now to the investigation under way into that deadly plane crash in connecticut. At least seven People Killed and several others injured when a world war ii era vintage plane crashed shortly after takeoff. Whit johnson is at Bradley International airport with the latest. Good morning, whit. Reporter robin, good morning to you. The ntsb has a go team on the ground right now. They expect to be here for seven days to ten days looking into this deadly crash. The b17 with 13 people on board was only in the air for about five minutes before something went horribly wrong. A fiery crash landing as a plane dropped from the sky, slamming into this deicing facility at Bradley International airport, just minutes after takeoff, the world war ii b17 bomber radioed the tower for help. Whats the reason for coming back . Number 4 engine wed like to return. Big puff of smoke. Reporter the crash killing seven including Robert Riddell who was going to be celebrating his wedding anniversary this month. Respond no matter where you are proceed to the crash via the quickest way possible. Reporter six injured taken to local hospitals. Built in 1944, the bomber was traveling the country, providing tours and flights to the public. Ten more passengers who paid to take the ride and there were three aircraft crew and there was another person on the ground in the warehouse. Reporter one passenger, an Air National Guard command chief, was seated in the back of the aircraft. Now being hailed as a hero. Our understanding is, he popped the hatch and was able to extract some individuals when the tragedy hit. His training kicked in. Reporter one of those lives saved mitch melton who served in the army and air force. He has a couple of broken ribs. He had a bleed in his liver but he went into surgery for it. I was just happy to be able to say that we were going to be able to have him in our life still. Reporter weve also learned that two local firefighters were on board and injured in the crash. The company that owns the b17 releasing a statement saying, our thoughts and prayers are with those who are on that flight, and well be forever grateful to the heroic efforts of the first responders.

Nearly 100 cities yesterday reached their alltime record october high temperature. They broke those numbers. I think it will happen again today. Look at the feels like, mobile, 102, richmond, 100. The next best question is, why, why us, why is it still happening . We have this huge High Pressure heat dome that has been in and pop out one state that has felt the brunt of this. That would be georgia. I know folks from atlanta to macon down to savannah are saying, when does it end . By the weekend but before that happens weve got our streamlines on here from the midlevels of the atmosphere. What that means to you, its almost like a waterfall of heat. Yes, the midlevels you get sinking air in a High Pressure system that comes down, the air compresses and have less room, the molecules get closer together, and air heats up. So thats why youve been having this heat. Macon nine days in a row of record highs. If atlanta tomorrow gets to 90 plus which they should, that will be the 91st day this year that theyve had 90 plus degree temperatures. Thats never happened in recorded history. Its not forever. This thing will sink south, and all these cooler temperatures will be coming your way. Look at that. By the weekend well be waking up in the 40s here. Lets get to your select cities summerlike cities, excuse me, brought to you by carmax.
