see that runner come home. he was allowed to run even though the umpire was waving it off. it was just an insane inning. we'll tell you what happened. >> t.j. will have all the details. but we begin with breaking news. president obama announcing he will leave thousands of troops in afghanistan beyond next year, halting the withdrawal. abc's martha raddatz has all the details, joins us from washington. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. all of the nearly 10,000 troops we have now in afgan were supposed to be out by the end of next year, except those at the embassy, but the president will now leave as many as 5500 troops be similar to what it is now, counterterrorism operations and training and assisting the afghan troops. the commanders just felt the afghan forces were not ready to be on their own and as we've seen over the last few months, the taliban is once again on the rise and is is as well, robin. >> how much does this have to do with what happened in iraq when president obama pulled out u.s. forces there and only for them to return later? >> reporter: well, that was a big consideration, robin. there's been a lot of criticism and spendinglation that if the u.s. had had a presence, we would have been able to track isis better in iraq or at least had more influence there. but today's announcement is a big step for president obama, who was the man who wanted to end both wars only to find them both flaring up again, robin. >> all right, martha, we'll see how this plays on capitol hill. >> he did not want to make this decision but felt forced into it. that disruption overnight at some of the biggest airports in the country. customs computers shut down delaying thousands of passengers raising serious questions about security. abc's aviation correspondent david kerley has all the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. dulles international airport, one of the airports hit overnight, a computer glitch making it difficult to get in or out of the country. line, long lines all a result of the computer system that checks the terror watch list, the no fly list against those who do want to fly. it went down meaning getting in and out of the country was not easy. customs and border patrol says it does have means to check the no-fly list with those trying to board planes, but obviously it slowed the system dramatically. >> it's crazy. i never saw anything like this. >> reporter: the department of homeland security says there is no indication this was a hack or caused by terrorism. >> they said it was a nationwide computer glitch and we all had to wait. >> reporter: and wait, they did. at international airports across the country, all affected when passengers taken to social media with pictures of their line, one saying, customs outage was a blast. the problem affected those trying to leave or enter the country. overnight, customs and border protection telling abc news, quote, it experienced a temporary outage and took immediate action to address the technology disruption. now, temporary outage lasted about 90 minutes. customs and border protection tells me they do have these glitches often but don't normally rise to the system going down like it did last night, robin. >> quite a nightmare. thank you. now to a wildfire in texas exploding in size overnight. thousands of acres burned. homes destroyed. dozens more threatened. abc's clayton sandell is there for us in texas this morning. good morning, clayton. >> reporter: and good morning, robin. you can see the sheriff here has set up a

>> we're starting the operation to light a backing fire to try and get some containment on the wildfire. >> reporter: and firefighters are making progress on that number. it is now up to 15% containment. they obviously want that number to go up but are facing another day of hot temperatures, robin. >> thank you, clayton. we'll talk about that record heat, powerful wind gusts in the south are fueling that fire right now. ginger, you have more on that. >> we could see broken records from austin to houston, dallas, jackson, little rock, pretty much anybody on the map in the okay and red there, just a few hundred miles north and just north of that cold front, oh, it's cold. freeze warnings and watches from the northern plains by tomorrow morning to chicago, suburbs could see a frost and then you go and the core of that cold air moves to the east. look how chilly atlanta, 44. nashville, 37. boston the old 32 by sunday morning. >> thanks very much. the race for president now, "your voice, your vote." and front-runners riding high. hillary clinton smoking out joe biden after wednesday night's debate. donald trump packing in more big crowds. abc's cecilia vega tracking it all from las vegas. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. we now know that debate shattered records more than 15 million viewers, hillary clinton, bernie sanders out there taking their victory laps today as you said, donald trump on the attack but this morning here's the big question, can both sides keep this momentum going? this morning, hillary clinton may be feeling lucky in las vegas, but the political focus now back on the one person who wasn't on that debate stage, joe biden offering praise for his fellow democrats on wednesday. >> i was proud of -- i thought they all did well. >> reporter: but no hints about his political future, even as clinton's campaign packs on the pressure. >> i think with respect to vice president, i think it's time for him to make the decision. >> reporter: clinton herself brushing off a potential biden bid. >> everyone else, whether they're in or they're not in, will have to make whatever judgment is best for them. >> reporter: her rival that is in the race, making a victory lap after tuesday's performance. vermont senator bernie sanders, that's him, dancing on "ellen." >> who has better hair, you or donald trump? >> that goes without saying. >> yeah. >> reporter: that famous hair drawing thousands to a rally in virginia. >> last night, with bernie sanders and hillary and the other three guys that nobody even knows who the hell they are, who are they? >> reporter: but the donald wasn't the only trump making news. ivanka saying her dad would make a great president for women. >> he's blunt, he's direct. he is nongender specific in his criticism of people. he would be incredible for women in this country. >> reporter: and ivanka says she is a close friend of chelsea clinton and says politics and friendship lines do not cross. i want to read you what she said. the politics of our parents is not relative to our friendship, george. i'm not sure her parents would be able to say the same thing today. >> let's hope they can keep it up. okay, cecilia, thanks very much. to jon karl about this and, jon, vice president biden saying he was proud of what he saw on the debate stage but it comes as a lot of democrats seem to think possible bid by him. he's not saying anything. >> reporter: no decision yet from biden but i've got to tell you i've spoken to a lot of biden confidant, people very close to the vice president, there is a growing sense even among them that he may have waited too long, that the decision is being made for him. i mean, the debate, a big factor, as one biden longtime friend told me he needed to be at that debate. this biden friend said if you're going to run for president you actually need to run the party instead of seeing a wounded front-runner with hillary clinton out there saw a very strong performance for hillary clinton and much less of a rationale for biden to get into the race. >> first deadline october 29th. the vice president had lunch with the president yesterday. this could be putting the president in kind of a tricky situation. what's the white house thinking? >> reporter: well, i got to tell you, i cannot find a single senior staff member in the white house, a single senior aide to the president who thinks biden is going to run. the clear sense in the west wing is that he will not run although, george, all of those senior officials acknowledge that they don't know for sure that biden has not told them anything. a health alert about a supplements. a new study finds they are responsible for sending more than 20,000 people a year

vitamins, energy drinks and weight loss products and in the elderly difficulty swallowing from large pills. >> a lot are waking up and want to reach for their dietary supplement. how significant is this study and what advice do you have? >> the industry says millions of people take them every year so in general they're very staph but don't go through approval for safety or effectiveness. first thing, make sure they're kept out of the reach of young children and not required to be in childproof containers. the second thing you want to do, if you have any kind of problem with swallowing, there's no limit to the size of the tablet, think about gel caps or for liquids and for anyone especially thinking about taking a weight loss or energy product, talk to your doctor about the possible side effects. >> that is always good advice. talk to your doctor and you'll be on facebook and twitter. >> all morning. >> thanks, rich. now to new trouble at walmart. the world's largest retailer

to use to complete a tack. now take a look at the right side. the same kid during the season, see how those images on the right, there's so many fewer dots of the red and blue. those are the ways in which the brain has rewired itself to complete that same task. all to avoid using those damaged areas and, remember, this is a kid without a diagnosed concussion and maybe the most disturbing part of that study it took up to five months for some of those players' brains to heal. lara. >> does the brain ever really fully heal? that's also the question people are asking. you played football, michael. >> it is one of these things -- it's this catch-22. so many kids that want to play and parents who want them to play but you have to listen to the kid. if the kid says, i don't feel well, these are the symptoms, trust them they know what they're talking about. nothing worse than having some kid injured over trying to win a football game. it's not important at all. >> not worth it. matt, thank you, michael, thank you. coming up, you will have a tip for us? >> oh, yeah, you know what, to tip or not to tip. >> that is the question. >> that -- that may not be the question any

and in nine months. >> all: together we lost over 100 pounds. >> reporter: necessary rest pay to sweet success. >> we didn't want to diet. that's not a word in our vocabulary as bakers so we started walking. that's all we did. we walked six miles a day, five days a week and we did it consistently. >> reporter: while they even allowed themselves one cupcake a day, they also focused on more sensible portions overall which experts say is important. >> it's really important to think about how one can balance their diet and how that fits into their overall lifestyle. exercise alone is not the only answer. diet alone is not the only answer. there needs to be a real balance and marriage of the two. >> reporter: two baking queens having their cupcake and eating it. love those puns there. the sisters say the big business partners also helped them because they're used to working together and supporting each other, another thing they said they did they weigh themselves every day which

>> i mean there's so many. i think probably the biggest myth that i get frustrated by is that, you know, i think people automatically assume you're no longer able-bodied and i think that's a huge thing. you'll have to be confined to, you know, a wheelchair or what have you but it's not the case anymore. there's so many treatments out there. >> our thanks to jack and to sara and you can find out mor info on the you don't know jack about ms partnership on that organization's website. time now to head back outside and ginger. >> and, amy, all we can talk about is the chill and then we're starting to think, well, let's go ahead and get warm. ou get warm and go to south florida, this is what's going to happen. you see a beautiful sunrise but then you may get rain and storms. that stationary front will stick around. a couple of inches of rain but, of course a lot of those places still wanting it after being in the >> all that weather brought to you by amazon prime and now michael is here with legendary nfl tight end tony gonzalez talking about their inspiring documentary "play it forward." michael. >> thank you, ginger. and i am here with tony gonzales and, tony, yes. tony, everybody. and i got to say i had an opportunity to play against you when i was with the giants and you were with the chiefs and you were with the atlanta falcons and made a documentary with you detailing your journey throughout your career and life how was it to see this unfold at the tribeca film festival to see your life unfold in front of everybody. >> first of all it's surreal when you see everybody looking at the personal side. that's always been the football side but i was really proud of the story that we told like you said it was my journey to one of the best years of my life. we went to the nfc championship life but my brother's journey and the way it chronicled our family and how we support each other is a side of our nfl lives that most people don't get to see. it was really unique from that standpoint watching how we support each other and how i supported my brother through his journey of becoming a fireman. >> here's a player who brings a family with him. your case is a little different. you did bring your family with you but it was your brother's dream to play football and he stepped in and did a lot of things that a father would do for you to make sure you made it and how is the relationship with your brother? i know you two didn't talk for a year and a half after this film was made. >> you know, he sacrificed a lot of his life and his dreams to really support mine and really he was that confidant and that no guy. you have a lot of yes people but he was that no guy. you're not that good. you're getting out of hand. why don't we go home and shut it down early. after the doc was shot we stopped talking and maybe that was because football got taken away. that was always our common ground. what we always spoke about but went through ups and downs but we are talking today and it's one of those things, you got to get it wrong before you get it right and i think our relationship now is stronger than ever. >> and what do you hope people take away from this film? >> you know, like i debated on whether or not to tell anybody we stopped talking for a year and a half after the documentary because we supported each other but i want people to take away the family dynamic and how we support -- we're just one story of many out there. but like i said in the film it'll make you laugh. it'll make you cry but most of all it's going to make you cheer not just for sports but for life. just chasing your dreams and getting after it and supporting each other. >> it's a family film. talk about families supporting each other, helping each other reach their dreams. that's what we're all about at "gma." we'll send it back to you, amy. >> all right, thanks so much. coming up your all access pass to speaking of family i need some help here, how to get away with murder. >> murder. >> the cast sharing their secrets about each other next on "gma." welcome to subway, what can i make for you?
