and the washington nationals, they are setting the stage for the world series. the fan celebration in d.c. that says it all and 20-year-old outfielder juan soto rocking that monster home run last night and i would say get that man a beer but he won't be 21 until iday, so early happy birthday to him and what a big week. >> what a big week. there will be some big celebrations coming up. but we are going to begin with that explosive day in washington. the top u.s. -- america's top diplomat in the ukraine making the case that president trump held up military aid on the condition that ukraine investigate his rival joe biden and the 2016 election. >> directly contradicts president trump's denials of a quid pro quo as a brand-new poll just out this morning shows support for the impeachment inquiry hitting a new high. 55% according to quinnipiac, it jumped from last week. our senior congressional correspondent mary bruce starts us off from capitol hill. good morning, mary. >> reporter: george, good morning. democrats say this testimony is the most damaging yet to the president and it outlines what the president and his allies have been denying, a clear link between trump and the campaign to push ukraine to investigate the president's political opponents. in explosive testimony bill taylor, the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine, personally implicates president trump in a quid pro quo pressure campaign. describing in detail how trump withheld military aid to force ukraine to investigate his political rivals. >> this is my most disturbing day in congress so far. very troubling. >> reporter: democrats in the room say there were gasps and sighs as taylor, a career diplomat, described eight separate times he was told the president demanded pressure be put on ukraine to investigate the bidens and debunked theories about the 2016 election. >> his opening statement which is now in the public domain is devastating to donald trump. it was very damning for the president. >> reporter: for weeks, taylor says he was given no reason for why that much needed assistance was being held up but then in september the u.s. ambassador to the eu, gordon sondland, told him, the president himself wanted ukraine to announce a public investigation into his democratic rivals. ambassador sondland said, everything was dependent on such an announcement including security assistance. that trump insisted ukrainian president zelensky go to a microphone and say he is opening investigations of biden and 2016 election interference. and that trump wanted zelensky in a public box by making a public statement about ordering such investigations. taylor detailing the pressure campaign that trump has repeatedly denied. >> that there was no quid pro quo. >> there was no quid pro quo. >> there was no quid pro quo. >> reporter: according to taylor, the secretaries of defense and state, the cia director and the national security adviser sought a joint meeting with the president to convince him to release the hold on the aid. but that meeting never happened. taylor describes an irregular informal channel of u.s. policymaking that includes ambassador sondland, and was led by the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani. that unofficial channel, taylor says, was running contrary to the goals of longstanding u.s. policy. now taylor alerted multiple officials including the secretary of state sending a cable to secretary pompeo descri the, quote, folly he saw in withholding this aid which taylor says was potentially life saving and critical to fending off russian aggression. taylor told pompeo he simply could not defend holding up this aid but taylor says he did not receive a response. george. >> not much response from republicans on capitol hill but the white house put out a statement. >> reporter: in a statement the white house says the president did nothing wrong and there was no quid pro quo. they continue to insist the president has done nothing wrong. they say this is just a, quote, smear campaign by far left lawmakers and radical unelected bureaucrats but taylor, of course, was put into this position by pompeo himself and he has served under presidents of both parties since 1985. >> yes, mary. before that he graduated with honors from west point, served in the infantry in vietnam, so this idea that he's a radical waging w on the constitution, that is a quote from the white house statement, is the smear right there directly contradicted by taylor's lifetime of service. i want to bring in dan abrams, our chief legal analyst, for more on this and clearly this testimony, the most significant incident yet in this impeachment inquiry. >> absolutely and you can't view it in a vacuum, right? the administration would like you to say, well, you can't believe this guy, this guy's an outlier. the problem is that his testimony is entirely consistent with both the transcript of the phone call that's come out and the text messages among the diplomats. >> and the admission from mick mulvaney last week. >> and mick mulvaney as well. so you have to take it together. i mean, in a typical trial, right, defense attorneys will try to get people to isolate a single piece of evidence and say to the jury, you're not going to convict on that piece of evidence, are you? that's not enough to have proof beyond a reasonable doubt and prosecutors will say, wait a sec, look at all of this together and put all the pieces together and that's what i think you have to do in the context of what we're seeing here. >> and it leads you to more things and used to talk about the whistle-blowers being a road map. this also a road map leading to new testimony from other witnesses and other documents. >> with dates and times and notes to back it up. i mean, that's the important thing here. taylor isn't just winging it here. he isn't just saying, you know what, i think it was this day. he literally has notes contemporaneous notes from all of this to back up what he's saying and going through methodically in his opening statement. he created a road map. he laid out day by day here's what happened and then i responded and then they responded this way, et cetera. that's what makes this so much more powerful than just someone coming in and testifying. >> white house sticking to this line, no quid pro quo. >> right. and so the president even seems according to the testimony from taylor, was saying no quid pro quo while doing things that would clearly be identified as a quid pro quo. and when you're looking at it, legally for impeachment purposes, whatever, you can call it whatever you want. it's the actions, it's the words that matter, not just how you characterize it. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. okay, george, the impeachment inquiry has president trump firing back and that is sparking new outrage this morning. the president comparing the inquiry against him to a racist and painful chapter in american history tweeting, take a look, all republicans must remember what they are witnessing here, a lynching, now some of his republican allies quick to denounce the language but others defended it. take a listen. >> this is a lynching in every sense. this is un-american. i think lynching is being seen as somebody taking the law in their own hands and out to get somebody for no good reason. >> okay, so let's bring in terry moran there at the white house. terry, this was yet remarkable moment in this presidency. >> reporter: it sure was, the president has used a lot of incendiary language to express his fury at this impeachment inquiry, but for millions of americans, this crossed a line. the history of lynching in america is a history of pain and terror and racist tyranny. thousands of black americans were murdered this way, so for the president to compare a congressional investigation to a lynching, it was a rhetorical firebomb. one he deliberately detonated for political purposes and even for some of his republican allies, it was too much. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell of kentucky said that given the history of our country he would not have used this term. the president's defenders were quick to point out that some democrats including joe biden used the term to describe the impeachment of bill clinton. biden apologized. biden's defendersay neither he nor the other democrats have the same. >> one more headline before we let you go. that senior -- that anonymous senior official who penned the op-ed claiming to be part of the resistance inside the administration now has a book coming out. >> reporter: that's right. it's the book that has washington buzzing today. coming out next month. titled "a warning." th author is a senior trump administration official. in that original "the new york times" article he painted a devastating portrait of president trump saying that he was erratic, making reckless decisions. this is the kind of thing that just infuriates the president. he clearly does not have the loyalty of everyone around him. cecilia. >> terry moran. thanks very much. >> coming out november 19th. we move to the latest on the crisis in syria. as u.s. troops continue to pull back, russia is moving in. reaching a deal with turkey on controlled kurdish territory and our chief foreign correspondent, james longman reports from the region this morning. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, george. america moving out, syria's future now firmly in the hands of these even-dominant power brokers, presidents putin and erdogan cementing their control of the north. after a six-hour meeting, the two men agreed on a new deal. turkey will retain its control of the area, its claimed after these last two weeks of fighting but now kurdish forces are required to withdraw from even more land, a strip of territory to the east and west along the border. erdogan saying kurdish military positions are to be destroyed and that kurdish soldiers will be forced to pull back. his ultimate goal -- to resettle 2 million syrian refugees in turkey currently, into that kurdish region, meaning the fate of thousands of kurds already uprooted from their homes is still in the balance. without their american partners in the face of a looming humanitarian crisis, the kurds may have little choice but to accept, george. >> and james, at least some of the u.s. troops pulling out will be going to iraq. that comes with some controversy as well. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. the iraqis are now publicly refusing to allow them in and so the defense secretary mark esper has been in baghdad making their case for re-deployment. we're just hearing in the last few moments they'll have four weeks in which to leave. this has been a chaotic situation and one over which russia and turkey have taken full advantage. george. >> james longman, thanks very much. michael. thank you, george. now to the extreme fire danger in california. it's intensifying this morning. record heat posing dangerous conditions and ginger is here with the red flag warnings right now. good morning, ginger. >> good morning to you, michael. right behind the storm that will bring snow from denver to amarillo there's this great basin high settles in by tomorrow and that rotates clockwise, sends winds offshore, especially in california. the whole state almost is under some sort of critical fire danger. tomorrow, southern california going to get into extreme fire danger. but today is northern california's turn to be at its worst. so if you're there in the red flag warning, which that means fires start easily and spread rapidly, from quincy to san fran, you could see 45-mile-per-hour wind gust, the bay area, 10% to 20% relative humidity. that's very dry. i know our meteorologist in the bay area will be all over it and we will too this week. cecilia. >> okay, ginger, thank you. now to penn state temporarily suspending a fraternity after a 17-year-old died at an off-campus house. gio benitez has this story. >> reporter: this morning, a penn state fraternity has been suspended as police investigate the death of a visiting high school senior. officers were called out saturday to an off-campus house which the school says was allegedly occupied by chi phi fraternity members. >> 522 west college avenue, 17-year-old male unconscious for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, breathing is very shallow. >> reporter: state college police finding 17-year-old john schoenig in full cardiac arrest. first responders tried to resuscitate him, but he was pronounced dead on the scene. his high school posting this on facebook, please pray for the prep-villa community as we mourn the passing of our brother john "jack" schoenig. friends and teammates also remembering the student athlete. >> you could walk in the locker room and everyone just brightens up, smile on their faces joking around on the ice, always gave it his all. >> reporter: police say there were no signs of trauma and several witnesses told them he became uonscious, but the university not taking any chances. immediately issuing an interim suspension to the alpha delta chapter of chi phi. fraternities across the country have been under fire. penn state having one of the largest hazing prosecution cases in american history. in 2017, 19-year-old sophomore tim piazza died. it was after an alcohol-fueled party at the beta theta pi fraternity house. in schoenig's case there are no allegations of hazing or alcohol but police are asking anyone with information to come forward. and the medical examiner says it may take weeks to learn what triggered his cardiac arrest. the fraternity's national chapter telling us overnight it is deeply saddened by this tragic event. they point out this happened at an off-campus house, not owned by chi phi, but say the fraternity is assisting investigators right now. a lot of people want these answers. >> no question about that. >> such a tragedy. thanks, gio. we're going to turn now to a close call cauon cam look at this, a massive tr crashes into their home while the family's two teenage daughters were sitting hanging out with their dog. the family's ring surveillance video captured the moment the tree fell through the ceiling destroying the living room. you can see that extensive damage there. fortunately and miraculously the girls and the dog were not seriously injured. michael. >> thank goodness for that. and now we're going to turn to the world series and a thrilling start to the fall classic. 20-year-old juan soto and the washington nationals takg game one stunning the houston astros and their elite pitcher. t.j. holmes is here with that. good morning. >> reporter: and that elite pitcher you're talking about, houston astros pitcher gerrit cole, has not lost since may, 19-0 since may coming into the game and the nationals, huge underdogs, the nationals never won a world series game in their history. all that changed last night thanks to a kid that goes by the name of childish bambino. houston texans star j.j. watt enthusiastically got the crowd ready for game

thriller that featured houston astros ace pitcher gerrit cole who came into the game with 19 wins in a row. and the washington nationals' juan soto, the 20-year-old phenom left fielder known as the childish bambino. >> third youngest player you saw hit cleanup in a world series and he just cleaned up. >> reporter: soto crushed a 417-foot homer tying the score in the fourth inning. >> wow. >> reporter: then in the fifth, soto was at it again, smashing a two-run double that gave the nationals a 5-2 lead. >> one run scores. >> reporter: the nationals managed to hang on for the 5-4 victory. the first-ever world series victory in their franchise history. >> the nationals take game one. >> reporter: soto turns 21 on friday. the same day the city of washington will host its first world

it was that long ago? gosh, i can't remember. okay. >> of course, you can't remember. i do. but first, top headlines we're following right now including the latest on the impeachment showdown. the reaction to that explosive new testimony. democrats say it's the most damaging evidence yet. the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine saying there was a clear quid pro quo. he claims president trump was withholding military aid to force ukraine to investigate joe biden and the 2016 election. also right now, red flag warnings in the west. fierce winds and high temperatures fueling the wildfire threat in california. the utility company pg&e announced that they're doing a preventive power shutdown to almost 200,000 california customers later today hoping to avoid more fires there. >> they are on the front lines. we're going to turn now to that big new twist in the college admissions cheating scandal. some of the parents fighting charges including lori loughlin are now facing new counts of bribery that could mean more prison time if convicted. eva pilgrim has the latest. good morning, eva. >> good morning to you guys. lori loughlin saying reportedly she feels like david versus goliath. these new charges only aimed at the parents who opted not to take the plea deal. this morning, the pressure mounting. 11 parents who pled not guilty in that "varsity blues" college admissions scandal now facing new federal bribery charges including lori loughlin and her husband. a source closed to loughlin reportedly telling "people" magazine the actress is terrified of the new charges saying, quote, the stress is about to break them. the "full house" actress and her husband, mossimo giannulli, are accused of paying $500,000 to get their two daughters into usc by posing them as elite athletes. >> if you would have said england is my city i would say why did i pay all this money for your education? >> reporter: the parents are now waiting to go to trial after pleading not guilty. prosecutors say the mastermind behind it all, rick singer, e-mailed the company about their oldest daughter writing, while i create a coxswain profile for her, it would probably help to get a picture of her on an erg in workout clothes like an athlete. giannulli at one point forwarded a $200,000 invoice, part of their older daughter's admission to usc, to his accountant with a note, good news, my daughter is in usc. bad is i had to work the system. these new charges come as felicity huffman is set to be released this weekend from prison. this new video showing her husband, william h. macy, visiting, walking around a fenced-in area. in may, the "desperate housewives" star pleaded guilty to paying $15,000 to have a proctor correct her daughter's s.a.t. scores. prosecutor andrew lelling spoke about huffman to our abc affiliate. >> she took responsibility almost immediately. she was contrite, did not try to minimize her conduct. i think she handled it in a very classy way. >> reporter: huffman and the other parents who've already cut a deal not affected by the new charges just filed. >> when your friends tell to you lie on your resume, you 100% do not do it. >> reporter: jane buckingham, a marketing guru and television personality, who pled guilty to mail fraud is expected to be sentenced today. and a lawyer for one of the other parents facing new charges releasing a statement saying, it's simply a transparent attempt by the government to jack up the sentencing guidelines because they don't like the sentences imposed thus far. definitely an interesting turn for this case. >> okay, eva, thanks very much. let's bring dan abrams back for more on this. you just heard one of the critiques of what the prosecutors are doing. the evidence has been out there a long time. why the new charges now? >> right, so as far as we know there is no new evidence in the case and if prosecutors are frustrated by the comparatively soft sentences people are getting and as a result are throwing additional charges at the people who are remaining, that's not really proper. i mean, there's no way prosecutors would admit, yeah, we were frustrated with the sentences so we added more charges. >> they could also be pressing for a settlement. >> of course, they are. i mean, of course, they're trying to squeeze them to plead guilty here but, you know, look, and there still could be deals. just because they haven't cut a deal yet doesn't mean that there couldn't be a deal moving forward. but, look, no one wants to defend any of these defendants. they are some of the most despised people on the planet right now and everyone wants to treat this as if it's sort of a capital crime. the reality is, we have to look at this the way we'd look at any other case and when you look at a case like this and you say, hmm, another new set of charges here with no new evidence, not that unusual to add charges later, but against this many people, it just does start to feel like prosecutors are frustrated either by the sentences or the lack of guilty pleas. >> so that's what's happening here. they're sort of looking ahead feeling like they might not be getting the outcome that they want. >> they might get the outcome that they want but this feels like over-reaching to me. you look at the technical statute this, bribery statute being applied. does it check all the boxes? over $10,000, et cetera, yes. is it what this law was passed for? no. so it does feel like a bit of a reach by prosecutors. >> okay, we've got you on double duty. thank you. coming up, that abc exclusive. joining us live the reporter behind those groundbreaking interviews with prince harry and duchess meghan. how he almost moved the duchess to tears and harry telling him about his relationship with his brother. nce comes in lots of flavors. there's the amped-up, over-tuned, feeding-frenzy-of sheet-metal-kind. and then there's performance that just leaves you feeling better as a result. that's the kind lincoln's about. ♪ where does your almondmilk almond breeze starts here with our almond trees in our blue diamond orchard in california. my parents' job is to look after them. and it's my job to test the product. the best almonds make the best almondmilk. blue diamond almond breeze. it's were you can check the weather. listen to music. get directions to...

>> it's a good question. i suppose i just told the story that was in front of me really, anything like this is always storytelling, as you know, and i went, you know, intending to make a documentary that was always going to be about their work in africa and then a little bit about where they are at in life, and i knew that everything wasn't entirely rosy behind the scenes, that's true. but all the same i sort of had intended to turn up probably doing a more conventional journalistic job and maybe i told them beforehand i would have to put pretty pointed questions but i think the reality i found was just a couple that just seemed a bit bruised and vulnerable. i think with mental health we have to be careful what words you use but that was the story i found and it seemed the right journalistic thing to do to try to tell that story as empathetically as i could. the approach i should take on this occasion. >> you use those words bruised and vulnerable. we could see it in their face. was there one moment that made you question how they're coping when you were with them? >> it was more an accumulated thing really. i had seen them obviously before we left and we had a pretty long chat and so i formed a certain view there. i speak to harry relatively often and have done over the years so as i said, i knew that things weren't entirely brilliant behind the scenes but it became a sort of, you know, it sort of built as the tour went on in cape town, then spent a long time with him as we traveled around and just was observing. this was an observational documentary and as time wore on i got a sense of really where he was at. we had a couple of sort of private heart to hearts before we did the interview and after those i said, well, listen, let's just go out and tell the truth as you see it and what happens happens. i would say one thing about harry, he's always been one of those people if you ask him an honest question in public or private he will tend to give you an honest answer for better or worse, and i think that's what was happening here. >> do you think it would help if they stepped away from the spotlight? >> i suppose if i had a hope about this documentary is that everyone takes a really deep breath inside the royal family, outside the royal family, with the public, with the media, just to give them a little bit of space. that's what i hope will happen. i kind of sense that in the end things weren't going in a very good direction here and if this documentary has an outcome, i do hope that it's that everyone perhaps including them takes, you know, a really deep breath and maybe thinks pretty hard about how the future might play out. >> yeah, there's been this debate about whether harry and meghan are revealing too much or if they're modernizing the royal family. where do you stand on that? >> well, it's quite interesting actually. william is taking a more traditional approach to how to be a member of the royal family and in a sense he has to. he's going to be king. he can't afford to alienate any constituency and he hasn't and he's playing it in his terms extremely well in quite a traditional way. harry and meghan have just decided to play things differently. you look at the press, of course, its reaction hasn't been positive to this documentary but, you know, total circulation now, maybe 3 or 4 million in the uk. 29 million people have watched those clips of the interview on our website alone and that's not even putting on your website or other websites all around the world. they have 10 million instagram followers so i think some of what they were doing here was just emotional. it was just saying this is where we're at. some of it was trying to do things differently and there's been, you know, my impression is for the under 35s, the reaction has been almost universally positive. and the older you get the much more mixed it is. >> it has been. >> it's not quite as simple. >> tom, i got to jump in and ask, you have a new book coming out. >> yes, well, i've been a novelist for as long as i've been a writer and called is "secret service" and the essence an mi6 officer, your equivalent of the cia receives the intelligence that the person who is likely to be the next national leader is a russian spy. i think you could call that a topical idea and shot up near the top of the best-seller list and with any luck it will in america when it comes out. >> it's out when? now? >> it's out in a week or two's time. more or less now in the u.s. >> tom, thank you so much for joining us. see much more of that interview tonight right here on abc. 10:00 eastern/9:00 central. >> he's having a great run. >> he is. we'll be right back. or crossed the finish line... eventually. what?

>> that was one of the hardest things that i have ever heard, but the truth is is that my family, they never gave up on me and although, you know, there came a point when they had to pull back, which i think, you know, families dealing with people that are struggling with addiction should know that there does come a point where, unfortunately, you have to just let nature take its course, you know, and let that person either land or not and -- but my family has been so supportive and the love and support that they've showed me was enough to make me want to pull through and be a good person. >> yeah, we know your mother was very supportive. your siblings and your grandfather was very supportive as well. and i think a lot of people have the question, how did you get exposed to drugs at a young age? >> i think with me it really started with loneliness, you know, i remember back to like early teenage years, i always had this sort of discomfort in my own skin and, you know, that coupled with the loneliness, i think drew me towards, you know, drugs, which kind of, you know, soothe that feeling and then you find a peer group through that, but the longer that, you know -- as your addict starts to grow you begin to take on that persona and then you forget who you really are and that addict just completely takes over. >> you said there was a crack in you that drugs, you felt that drugs filled that crack. >> yeah, there was a loneliness, there was a loneliness and a discomfort. growing up in the family that f you grew up in? >> i think it's just -- i think a lot of teens can relate to that, you know, just sort of a -- you know, a loneliness trying to fi out where i fit in and who i fit in with and drugs seemed to pave the way, you know, and that's what makes it so dangerous. >> and you're a dad now. in the book, you talk a lot about the dynamics of being a douglas, the son of -- your grandfather is a legend. your father is a ledge jerry -- legend. you're the son. you have a daughter now so what does that mean to you? >> my daughter is amazing. she's -- it's a whole new depth of love that i never even realized i had within me. a new vel of inspition. and also, you know, you see your parents in a little bit of a different light, right because now you can really relate with them and start to see some of the things that they were going through so it's a whole new level of respect for your parents. >> yeah, that is the truth and why did you write this book and why release it now? >> well, you know, right now we're living in a time where, you know, we're in an opioid epidemic. you know, this country is just drowning in addiction and, you know, i can't go back and change some of the pain and wreckage that i've caused, but what i can do is try to take that and make it useful, so that was the impetus for this book and that's what i hope it ends up doing. i hope it ends up helping people. >> helping other people. what an incredible story but we're glad you made it through and you're here with us this morning, cameron. really do, man. cameron's book, "long way home"n . now we'll go over to you, girng -- ginger. thank you so much, michael. it's time for your "gma" moment. this time from new york. you know when you've got a pet and put the cover on the couch or bed to make sure they don't go on, well, look. >> must be on top of the couch cover. >> supposed to be on top. look at this cute face. how are you going to get in trouble?

[ applause ] i love this story. when you were a little guy, you had a big dream of becoming a garbage man. >> i did. >> that was really -- >> that was it. you are know, i'm from the south central l.a., watts, and when you in the hood, nothing really seems like reality until you actually see it, so i created this idea when i was young that i want to dream with my eyes open, right. so i want to become the things i see and i was able to see a trash man. and i used to go eight, nine houses down the street and help the trash man. i put on my dad's -- my step dad's, like, six belts, okay? because i noticed they wore the back brace, and i was practicing and i was, like, you get medical, dental benefits, and -- >> very practical dream. >> it's very real. >> let's talk "black and blue." you play with naomie harris and she sees a cop murder a drug dealer and comes to you for some help. let's take a look. >> roll the clip. >> you can't be in here. >> i've been shot. >> what do you mean? >> can i use your phone? >> who shot you? >> can i use your phone? >> you got to go. i don't want no parts of this. the police is riding around here all the time. they'll help you. >> it was the cops that shot me. >> ooh. >> wow.

[ laughter ] you know? and it just set the tone. she's oscar nominated and i was able to see this thing firsthand. it just made me step my game up. let me tell y'all something. i'm not talented enough to tell y'all why this movie is the only thing that matters this weekend. y'all know how y'all spend money and y'all like, what was that? this movie is the movie that i need everybody watching this show to go see. i need y'all to show up so bad because in success y'all are going to encourage hollywood to make real movies that really matters that speak to what we live every day. >> amen to that. >> i mean, i know y'all seen it in the clip, y'all. but for a police officer in new orleans to capture her own people in her own police force murdering four black boys on her body cam and then the police officers are on a mission to kill her because they don't want her to turn the footage in. this movie, it's -- you're on the edge of your seat. this woman said to me during a press junket, she said i went to the theater. from the moment the movie started i was on the edge of my seat and it never stopped. i was just like screaming at the screen. you know, the ghetto stuff. get out the way! what ya gonna do? why would you -- no! it's one of those movies. it's so real. >> we can see your passion. you're from south central as you mention and a dentist in the community has bought out the whole theater so people can go see it. >> look, showing her picture. listen, y'all, this woman out the blue from south central l.a. her name is dr. ijeoma. she bought out an entire theater in south central l.a. she is a dentist. she has a practice in brentwood. she's really, really successful. she bought out an entire theater, 300 seats because that's how important this movie is. she just want -- [ applause ] and, you know, i know we're tight for time but i want to say this is how important this movie is. the worst thing you can be is blindsided. women feel that way about men in relationships. we feel this way when you live in the hood. even if you don't live in the hood we just want people to know like there's some crazy things going on out here and if you don't get the heads-up of what's around the corner before you get there you can really get hurt and this movie speaks to what it is to be black and latino in america right now and under this -- i don't even want to say his name because every time his name is mentioned it's a high for him. go support this movie. we need y'all to show up for real for real. get on that group text.

flavors. san francisco voters stopped the sale of flavored e-cigarettes. but then juul, backed by big tobacco, wrote prop c to weaken e-cigarette protections. the san francisco chronicle reports prop c is an audacious overreach, threatening to overturn the ban on flavored products approved by voters. prop c means more kids vaping. that's a dangerous idea. vote no on juul. no on big tobacco. no on prop c. all right. we are back now with nanny to the stars connie simpson. before we get to chat with her, take a look at what happened when she paid a visit to a family who was desperate for her help. >> let's go. come on. >> no. >> reporter: it's a scene that plays out for so many families at bedtime. just ask new york city mom of three, rebecca rosler. for about eight months rebecca has

cord isn't easy for rebecca. >> i also then have the pang of guilt when she's out of my bed. that means she's growing up. >> it's going to be okay. >> reporter: we asked nanny connie to help. >> the most important thing we figure out how we can help her to get back to her normal routine. >> reporter: first she suggests putting a gate across her bedroom door. >> so she can peer and see you guys.

laying down the law, okay? >> he's the only one who can do it. this. is the only one who can do this. is the only one who can do >> reporter: above all nanny >> announcer: this is an abc news special report. now reporting, george stephanopoulos. >> good morning. we're coming on the air right now because president trump is now speaking in the reception room about syria. >> for the middle east. it's been a long time. over the last five days, you have seen that a cease-fire that we established along syria's border has held and has held very well beyond most expectations. early this morning, the government of turkey informed my administration that they would be stopping combat, and their offensive in syria and making the cease-fire permanent, and it will indeed be permanent, however you would also define the word permanent in that part of the world somewhat questionable, i would understand that, but we all believe it will be permanent. i have instructed the secretary of the treasury to lift all sanctions imposed on october 14th in response to turkey's original offensive moves against the kurds in syria's northeast border region. so the sanctions will be lifted unless something happens that we're not happy with. this was an outcome created by us, the united states, and nobody else. no other nation, very simple, and we're willing to take blame and we're also willing to take credit. this is something we have been trying to do for many, many decades. since then, others have come out to help and we welcome them to do so. other countries have stepped forward. they want to help, and we think that's great. the nations in the region must ultimately take on the responsibility of helping turkey and syria police their border. we want other nations to get involved. we have secured the oil and therefore a small number of u.s. troops will remain in the area where they have the oil, and we're going to be protecting it, and we'll be deciding what we're going to do with it in the future. in any event, by the moves that we have made, we're achieving a much more peaceful and stable area between turkey and syria, including the 20-mile wide safe zone. an interesting term, safe zone. that's the term we're using. hopefully that zone will become safe. thousands and thousands of people have been killed in that zone over the years, but it's been for many, many decades, and i think we have something that's going to be strong and hold up. turkey, syria and all forms of the kurds have been fighting for centuries. we have done them a great service, and we have done a great job for all of them, a now we're getting out. long time. we were supposed to be there for 30 days. that was almost ten years ago. so we're there for 30 days, and now we're leaving. supposed to be a very quick hit, and let's get out, and it was a quick hit, except they stayed for almost ten years. let someone else fight over this long, blood-stained sand. i want to thank vice president pence and secretary of state pompeo for leading the american delegation so successfully to turkey several days ago, along with national security adviser o'brien. i want to thank them very much. the american delegation negotiated the original five-day s cease-fire that ended kurdish fighters to safely leave. it just got them to a point where frankly they were able -- itenabled them to get out, to go, and move really jt a few miles in a slightly different direction. so this enabled them to do so. countless lives are now being saved as a result of our negotiation with turkey. an outcome reached without spilling one drop of american blood. no injuries, nobody shot, nobody killed. i have just spoken to genera wonderful man, the commander in chief of the sdf kurds, and he was extremely thankful for what the united states has done. could not have been more thankful. he has assured me that isis is under very, very strict lock and key, and t detention facilities are being strongly maintained. there were a few that got out, a small number relatively speaking, and they have been largely re-captured. i'm also sure that he will be issuing his own statement very shortly. we had a great talk, but we have saved the lives of many, many kus. he understands that. the war was going to be vicious and probably not very long, and i'm very happy to have been involved in it. as are our vice president, our secretary of state and all of the other people on our team,. y by getting that cease-fire to stick, we have done something that's very, very special, but by getting the cease-fire after a tremendous amount of really tough war for a very short period of days, that is something very special. our troops are safe, and the pain and suffering of the three-day fight that occurred was directly responsible for our ability to make an agreement with turkey and the kurds that could never have been made without this short-term outburst. should turkey fail to honor its obligations including the protection of religious and ethnic minorities, which i truly believe they will do, we reserve the right to re-impose crippling sanctions, including substantially increased tariffs on steel and all other products coming out of turkey. we are now an economic powerhouse like never before, and very importantly, like no other. our economic might is stronger than it's ever been, and our competitors are not doing very well. we also expect turkey to abide by its commitment regarding isis. as a backup to the kurds watching over them should something happen, turkey is there to grab them. further, we implore european countries to come and take those fighters that the u.s. captured and bring them back to their countries for incarceration and for trial. until just recently, europe has been very unresponsive in doing what they should have been doing for a long time. now is their chance to finally act. american forces defeated 100% of the isis caliphate during the last two years. we thank the syrian efforts. now turkey, syria and others in the region must work to ensure that isis does not regain any territory. it's their neighborhood. they have to maintain it. they have to take care of it. there were some political pundits who have responded to turkey's offensive in syria. american military intervention, i don't think so, but halting the incursion that requires deploying tens of thousands of american troops against turkey, a nato ally, and a country, the united states has developed a very good relationship with. including president erdogan. the same people that i watched and read giving me the united states advice were the people that have been watching and reading for many years. they are the ones that got us into the middle east mess, but never had the vision or the courage to get us out. they just talk. how many americans must die in the middle east in the midst of these ancient sectarian and tribal conflicts? after all of the precious blood and treasure america has poured into the deserts of the middle east, i am committed to pursuing a different course, one that leads to victory for america. through much work, we have done things that everybody said couldn't be done. today's announcement rvalidates our course of action with turkey that only a couple of weeks ago was scorned, and now people are saying, wow. what a great outcome. congratulations. it's too early to me to be ngratula congratulated, but we have done a good job, and we have saved a lot of lives. most importantly, we have avoided another costly military intervention that could have led to disastrous, far-reaching consequences. many thousands of people could have been killed. in fact, they drew a very powerful red line in the sand. you all remember the red line in the sand, when children were gassed and killed, but then did not honor their commitment as other children died in the same horrible manner. but i did honor my commitments with 58 tomahawks. eight long years after president obama's ill-fated push at regime change, u.s. troops are still on the ground in syria. more than 500,000 people are dead. hundreds of thousands are terribly injured, and millions more syrians are displaced. it really is a nightmare of mise misery. we have spent $8 trillion in the middle east, never really wanting to win those wars, but after all that money was spent and all those lives lost, the young men and women gravely wounded so many. the middle east is less safe, less stable and less secure than before these conflicts began. the same people pushing for these wars are often the ones demanding america open its doors to unlimited migration from war-torn regions, importing the terrorism and the threat of terrorism right to our own shores, but not anymore. my administration understands that immigration security is national security. as a candidate for president, i made clear we needed a new approach to american foreign policy, one guided not by ideology, but experience, and a realistic understanding of the world. we are building up america's military might like never before, investing $2.5 trillion since my election, but we will not be depleted. we will not happen again. it will not be allowed to happen again. we're a military. it is depleted, fighting in areas of the world where we shouldn't be. when we commit american troops to battle, we must do so only when a vital national interest is at stake, and when we have a clear objective, a plan for victory and a path out of conflict, that's what we have to have. we need a plan of victory. we will only win. our whole basis has to be the right plan, and then we will only win. nobody can beat us. nobody can beat us. i want to again thank everyone on the american team who helped achieve the cease-fire in syria. saved so many lives. along with president erdogan of turkey, a man i have gotten to know very well, and a man who loves his country, and in his mi mind. i want to thank the general wfo his understanding and his great strength, and for his incredible words today to me, but me just as a representative of the united states because he knows that we saved tens of thousands of kurds, and we're not talking in the long-term. we're talking in the short-term. we're talking something that was going on immediately, and something frankly that was planned for a long time. the job of our military is not to police the world. other nations must step up and do their fair share. that hasn't taken place. today's breakthrough is a critical step in that direction. thank you all very much, and god bless america. thank you. thank you. >> mr. president. you said that the isis fires escaped -- today your top aide said that's not true, and you don't know where they are. >> a lot to unpack there. president trump in the diplomatic reception room touting what he called a major breakthrough in syria in middle east. apparently he's talking about the cease-fire that was first negotiated by his vice president mike pence, and secretary of state mike pompeo about five days ago. of course, it comes two weeks to the day that turkey moved into northern syria to drive the kurds out. a move that was made possible three days after a phone call between president trump and president erdogan of turkey where the president made it clear he would not stand in the way of president erdogan of turkey going in to move the kurds out. the president also announcing that in the wake of, again, he called it a major breakthrough, he would lift all sanctions on turkey, a major gift to president erdogan, and this is all setting up a remarkable split screen moment in washington. as the president was speaking -- we want to show it right here. the president's envoy to syria, jim jeffrey was testifying at the capital. this envoy for syria who was warning about widespread ethnic cleansing of the kurds in that area since the turks have gone and called the situation a tragedy, terribly bad and a dangerous decision. turkey's part also pointing out that over 100 isis fighters have escaped in recent days. the president said we got them all back, that only a few had gotten out. ambassador jeffrey did not make that claim, and cecilia vega, our senior white house correspondent, here with me right now. this is unique. >> completely unique, in the sense they contradict what is hac happening at this moment on the hill. he said, it will hurt the fight against isis and not be successful. it was said there were war crimes there, george. there's irony, and this is the president taking credit and praising this cease-fire for a cease-fire that was needed to fight -- to end fighting that most, even his allies on capitol hill say began because he withdrew these troops there. what i think they're doing in this white house, if i were to play a little bit of a guessing game, this is the president attempting to take credit for promises kept on the campaign trail. he has been saying he wants to bring these troops home. we know some of them will be staying behind he said there today in these oil fields in that area. the president a few days ago said he didn't think that would be necessary, be the headline is the pushback, and blowback he has faced over this from his own allies on capitol hill. mcconnell said this was a strategic nightmare for our country, and near unanimous resolution passed in the house condemning him. he has got a lot of problems on his hands here in the home front when he needs those allies given this impeachment inquiry as well. >> it has been chaotic on the ground and in northern syria as well. we want to go to james longman in the region. according to the president, the general was grateful. we know and we have known that the kurds had seen the move by the white house, by the president as a betrayal and greeted u.s. fors wices with potatoes. >> reporter: that's right, george. in the last few moments, we have seen a tweet and he said, i just spoke with president trump and explained to him the turkish violations of the truth and president trump promised to remain partnership with the sdf and long-term support. in public the sdf has to thank president trump because they're exposed now. we have been speaking to curedish commanders on the front line, the agreement that followed between russia and turkey. the president didn't once mention russia there. the new agreement between turkey and russia allows turkey to keep that 20 miles zone of the border. it further asks the kurds to move out of part of territory, east and west along the border. president erdogan today was
