Were going to speak with one of the drivers involved in that wreck in a moment, but first, Victor Oquendo starts us off at the Daytona International speedway with all the details. Good morning, victor. Reporter good morning, michael. This is the super bowl of racing. Millions waiting for an update on ryan newmans condition. It was a huge sigh of relief when we learned he was likely to survive but still dont know the extent of his injuries. Crash into the wall, into the air goes newman. Upside down. Reporter nascar driver ryan newman is in serious condition this morning after this horrific crash on the sports biggest stage, the daytona 500. Ryan newman off turn four for the final time. Reporter in an effort to maintain his lead on the final lap here comes hamlin up the outside. Reporter watch as newmans car is clipped from behind when he suddenly and violently spins out flipping several times before hes hit again further back in the pack right on the drivers side by corey lajoie. In a shower of sparks on his roof. Reporter sparks shooting out, the car bursting into flames before careening to a stop. The crowd nervous as trapped workers place large black screens around the accident and work to extract newman, denny hamlin taking the checkered flag and a victory lap. Facing criticism for celebrating amid the emergency, hamlin explained that he had no idea newman was hurt and his team owner joe gibbs quickly apologized. Some people may have saw us and said these guys are celebrating when there is a serious issue going on. So hopefully ive apologized to everybody, but we really didnt know. Obviously someones health and their family is bigger than any win in any sport. Reporter newman was raced to the hospital where his team says he is in serious condition, but doctors dont believe his injuries are lifethreatening. Newman has been through several scary wrecks and has been critical of nascar for not being able to keepars on the racing surface. By the way, it was 19 years ago today that Dale Earnhardt sr. Lost his life when he crashed on the final lap at daytona. Michael . Victor, thank you. Now were joined by corey lajoie. He was in one of the cars that collided with ryan newman. Thank you for joining us from north carolina. First our thoughts and prayers are with ryan right now. What can you tell us about his condition . Nothing beyond what ive seen on social media. I really dont have any insight, per se, but just the fact that his hes not life threatened. Hes obviously in serious condition because thats probably the most vulnerable spot for our race cars, that roof corner. That was a really scary wreck and all of our thoughts and prayers are with the newmans and their family. Take us back. Your car collided with his. What was it like being on the track at that moment being in that accident. It was it was wild, man. I didnt even know who i hit because youre concentrating on trying to get a good finish and nobody realizes how fast 200 miles an hour is or how light or how uncontrollable these cars are when you get out of shape. So, man, i didnt even know who i hit or what the extent of the crash was until after i got out of the infield care center. So it was until somebody told me that ryan they took him straight to the hospital i was obviously nervous. I still havent seen the replay beyond what was shown right there. So it was obviously very scary crash but the fact that hes still with us and hopefully can make a full recovery is just a testament to the nascar r d group and how safe theyre trying to make the race cars. Ryan has been outspoken about the safety of the drivers in these race cars. And do you think that this accident will lead to some of those changes that he spoke about . I mean, i think nascar is really on the forefront of trying to make racing safe. Not only the cup cars, all the short track cars across the country. Nascar is on the leading edge of making our cars safe, whether it be inside or outside. So, you know, i think that theyre going to take theyre taking my car as well as newmans back to the r d center to see what they can make better. We have the next gen car that has safety upgrades as well but just for the fact that that was the worst possible spot to get hit, so the fact that ryan is doesnt have lifethreatening injuries, but obviously hes in serious condition, so were all thinking about him. Ryan has been a pillar in the garage for decades now. So obviously everybody wants to see him back at the racetrack as quick as possible. Well, we are definitely thinking about ryan as i said earlier, and we appreciate you joining us, corey. Have a great day, thank you. Thanks, michael. Robin . Okay, michael. We have the latest on the coronavirus emergency.

The ten infected passengers who arrived in omaha escorted by medical teams in protective gear driven by motorcade to a special Infectious Disease facility that once treated ebola patients.

Reporter now bloomberg qualifying to debate as democratic rivals facetoface for the first time with just hours to spare. The other candidates eager.

And, you know, so im looking forward to debating Michael Bloomberg. I cant beat him on the airwaves, but i can beat him on the debate stage.

Yeah, the scouts say they intend to use the chapter 11 process to create a Victims Compensation trust. Their president saying, quote, the bsa cares deeply about all victims of abuse and sincerely apologizes to anyone who was harmed during their time in scouting. Now they also say scouting programs will continue for their nearly 2. 2 million members. Now this comes after more than a dozen states passed laws making it possible for sex abuse lawsuits to be filed regardless of when the alleged abuse occurred. Boy scouts now call their youth Safety Measures the strongest and most effective policies found in any youth serving organization, but guys, what a big headline overnight. Huge. Thank you both. Now to that state of emergency. Parts of mississippi on alert as they see the worst flooding there in decades. Alex perez has more from jackson, mississippi. Good morning, alex. Reporter hey, good morning, robin. Hundreds of residents who live in the flood zone were asked to evacuate, and this is why. Take a look behind me here. You can see in this neighborhood, some of the streets look more like rivers. You might be able to make out some of the mailboxes in the distance there. Now Authorities Say about a thousand homes in this area were damaged because of the flooding and the big focus right now is on the rain thats expected today, and in the days to come. Even just a little bit of rain right now will create a lot of problems, robin. All right. Thank you so much. Thinking of everybody there in my home state. That storm sweeping across the country bringing snow and rain and then a deep freeze. Sam champion in for ginger with the latest on that. Good morning, sam. And robin, that rain is going to cause some breaking news. We want to show you these water rescues going on around jackson. It had almost 20 inches of rain since the first of the year and going into neighborhoods and taking people out of their homes. When you get flooding like this you have to take everything out of your home and set it up on the highest space you can above where you think the water is going to rise and as alex just mentioned, theres more rain coming into this way. Breaking this morning, is theres a new Flash Flood Watch out for three states. So we still have to worry about some of this rain. The heaviest three to four inches, some located in texas. Look at the area where the Flash Flood Watch is. Two to three inches of rain expected here. Now, that means river water may crest but still have additional flooding from all of this new rain. George . Thank you, sam. Welcome back. Well get the latest from john bolton. The president s former National Security adviser is speaking in public for the first time taking on the Trump Administration for trying to censor him by holding up the publication of his book, and teasing more critical information about President Trump. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega is in washington with the details. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter hey, george. Good morning to you. John bolton is believed to have firsthand information about the president s now infamous phone call with ukraine. Democrats very much wanted to hear from him during the impeachment trial, but he refused to voluntarily show up. Instead, hes teasing what he knows and he says its all in his new book. Speaking publicly for the First Time Since the impeachment trial, overnight, President Trumps former National Security adviser bashed his old boss, accusing the white house of censoring his upcoming book. I say things in the manuscript about what he said to me. I hope they become public someday. He tweets, but i cant talk about it. How fair is that . Reporter bolton appearing on stage at Duke University. Journalists only permitted to record the start of the event but abc news has obtained audio of his full remarks. Bolton repeatedly teasing his book in which he reportedly alleges President Trump was directly tied to the Pressure Campaign on ukraine. The book now undergoing a security review after the administration claimed it contains classified information. There are portions of the manuscript that deal with ukraine. I view that like the sprinkles on the ice cream sundae, meaning in terms of whats in the book, this is an effort to write history and i did it the best i can. Well have to see what comes out of the censorship. Reporter bolton refused to testify before congress and overnight he dodged ukrainerelated questions instead teasing his book. Do you agree with the president that the zelensky call was perfect . Whats that . Do you agree with the president that the zelensky call was perfect . Youll love chapter 14. [ laughter ] reporter bolton did lash out on a long list of other issues criticizing the president s handling of foreign adversaries like north korea. I think its also been a failure. I think, the pursuit of kim jongun and the meetings with him and the efforts to get a deal with north korea are doomed to failure. So i think this has been a wasted two years. Reporter President Trump has called this upcoming book nasty and untrue. Guys, its also worth noting at times that Duke University audience applauded at the suggestion that perhaps bolton should have testified or at least held a News Conference instead of holding on to this information for an upcoming book. He may be getting a subpoena from the house as well. Okay, cecilia, thanks very much. We are following a lot of other stories this morning. Nba legend dwyane wade here live talking about his daughter zayas courage coming out as transgender and his new documentary. Looking forward to talking to him live here in the studio in just a bit. The inflight dispute possibly leading to a lawsuit. Well talk about that but first go back to sam. Good morning, everyone. A quick hit of snow through minnesota. About 168 crashes reported along that line. That hit took a lot of people by surprise. Watch this sys
