>> wow, thank goodness for that body armor. neal, thanks very much. now let's go to amy with the other top stories, starting with more trouble for air travelers. some passengers couldn't make online reservations or check in with southwest, jetblue or virgin america for hours. the airlines say it was a technical issue, not a hack. the system is now back up and running. well, russia has agreed to an eight-hour cease-fire in syria to allow civil dwroons flee from eastern aleppo. ten more children were killed in air strikes on monday. those air strikes have now been halted. a former vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff faces possible p fbi. retired marine general james cartwright admits making false statements during an investigation into a leak of classified information. under a plea deal, prosecutors will recommend no more than six months behind bars. cartwright is a former abc news contributor. and a man in arizona learned the hard way when you lock yourself out of your house, the chimney is not a viable option. he was stuck for four hours until fire crews pulled him out. they called 911. he was covered in soot. there you see him. but it didn't stop him from giving one of the firefighters a big old hug right there. i just want to say locksmiths are an option. even maybe breaking a window might be better than getting tuck in a chimney. >> just saying. >> the firefighter looked like he was actually receptive of that hug covered in soot. stay away from me, buddy. here's something you don't see every day. indians pitcher trevor bauer forced to leave his playoff game early because his finger started bleeding. and kayna whitworth is here with that story. and kayna, this all started with an injury from a groan. >> reporter: michael, that is exactly right. trevor bauer sliced his finger fixing one of his drones, and it happened right before the biggest game of his life. and so his start was pushed back. but after just 21 pitches, his finger started bleeding so much, they had to pull him. >> he's got him! toronto blue jays 4-2. the indians now one game closer to the world series. but this morning, everyone is pointing fingers at indians pitcher trevor bauer who started the first inning off with a bloody mess. >> there's no way you can continue in this game with the blood gushing from your hand. >> reporter: the 25-year-old pulled from the mound in the first inning after facing just four batters. trevor's pinkie finger dripping blood. >> they were confident coming into today. >> reporter: bauer's injury not from the game, but from a drone propeller. >> one of those things that -- freak accident you can't really control and i was plugging the battery in and my finger happened to be right here. >> reporter: trevor, a huge drone enthusiast nearly severed his finger friday needing ten stitches. but just like there's no crying in baseball, there are no bandages either. major league baseball forbidding pitchers to attach anything to their hand, finger, or wrist. >> when i saw blood on the rubber, i kind of figured out it wasn't a real good sign. writing it's just a flesh wound. some drawing comparisons to curt schilling and his bloody sock in the 2004 world series. >> we don't have another starter right now. >> reporter: one thing is for sure, the indians keeping their fingers crossed bauer will make a quick recovery. so if the indians win tonight they will clinch the alcs and head to the world series. michael, i can hear my dad saying, wrap it up, get back in the game. they can't put anything on their hands. >> pitchers don't want any illegal substances, any advantage. that would be an advantage. a lot of people saying why is he messing with a drone and 25 -- maybe it's a relaxing thing for him because he's under a lot of pressure as a pitcher. maybe it's way to -- >> not so relaxing right now. >> does that sound relaxing to you?

>> if they bring my past, why not? >> so they're asking for it. >> they're asking for it. they >> reporter: the woman typically known to keep a low profile is no longer shying away from entering the fray. >> oh, poor melania. don't feel sorry for me. don't feel sorry for me. i can handle everything. >> reporter: per stand by her man position is somewhat reminiscent of hillary clinton in 1998 when her husband was president and faced accusations of sexual misconduct. >> this vast right wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband president. >> it was left wing and left wing media. >> reporter: the couple first met at a fashion week party in 1998. she told "harper's bazaar" she refused to give trump her phone number. instead she asked him for his and went on their first date soon after. in 2005 they were married and a year later melania gave birth to their son barron. she's mostly stayed off the campaign trail to raise him until her most appearance at the republican convention this summer. >> the only limit to your achievements -- >> the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them. >> and your willingness to work for them. >> reporter: since speechgate she's stayed out of the limelyght. last week her legal team demanded an apology from "people" magazine disputing reporter natasha stoynoff's claims that sometime after she says she was assaulted by donald trump she bumped into melania on conversation with her. >> i was never friend with her. i would not recognize her. >> reporter: so as the campaign wipeds down, mrs. trump is hoping to land some punches before the final bell. >> people won't want to go against him but my husband is real. he's raw. he tells as it is. >> reporter: according to "the new york times," trump's aides urged melania to show her support for her husband by doing a sit-down interview with trump. melania reported d that idea. in her interview with fox news she is very clear she is her own woman and no one will make her do anything she doesn't want to do. robin and george. >> okay, linsey, thanks very much. let's bring had cokie roberts to talk more about it. cokie, as linsey pointed out in the piece right there, real echoes of hillary clinton both in 1998 and 1992, question today is how effective was it? >> probably not terribly effective in the same way that hillary clinton wasn't terribly effective in those interviews. i think that it's keeping the another is that melania trump in some ways is not terribly recognizable to a lot of voters. during the republican convention i interviewed a number of republican female delegates who basically said that they couldn't relate to her. she was too beautiful, she was too rich and that they didn't see her as an authentic person in the same way that people see michelle obama, for instance. >> she was very much going after the accusers. it s the strategy in having her come out and speak, cokie. >> well, in some ways i think that -- that in some ways was her most effective part because it was about her as opposed to being about her husband where they went after me so why not. but, again, that brings up her past and gives people excuses to put out nude pictures of her which is not terribly helpful to the campaign. >> i think the other part you would say to be effective is see her publicly accepting her did in the statement and now she's done publicly, as well but, again, i don't think that that is something that people would expect her to do anything else but accept his apology. but, you know, look, looking at voters who basically say they don't care, we've got a very partisan electorate right now, what i do think might be true is that it might have energized some of hillary clinton's voters to say we don't want this man. >> i know, because what you were just saying, cokie, martha raddatz was here, she spoke to voters who basically said, it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter what he did. so as a bigger deal being made out of it than it really is? >> well, i think that -- no, i really don't think so. i think even if it doesn't matter to a lot of voters who are very firmly set in their place that it has started a national conversation, robin. >> true, true. little empowered by saying this is -- this is not okay and there's a whole twitter site not okay with thousands of women on it now telling their own stories, so i think this has a life even beyond this campaign. >> yeah, the reaction has been extraordinary when you really break it down. all right, cokie, thanks so much. >> good to be with you. >> coming up on the big board? >> a lot. up next what fellow republicans are saying about donald trump's claims the election is and also what one guy did to get himself banned from the tennis court. wait till you see the caught on camera meltdown. all that coming up in just two minutes and we have mr. mcenroe to talk about that. >> patrick mcenroe. >> there he is over there. that was invigorating! you're probably wondering why i've just carved a giant wooden tiger. well, the answer is that a real one would maul me. i've crafted dr. whiskers here as a visual aid to show you that should you visit the lot, come here to buy a car. dr. whiskers won't pounce. nobody will. ?

for powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec? is different than claritin?. because it starts working faster on the first day you take it. just talking smack here with patrick mcenroe. we're talking about the '91 u.s. open, go figure. >> thanks for the memories. >> welcome back. time for our big board. our team of insiders standing by live for more on this morning's mcenroe is here at the table. we'll get to mac in just a moment. let's start with donald trump. ramping up those allegations that the presidential election is rigged. overnight at a rally in green bay, wisconsin, again hammering home the claim. >> they even want to try to rig the election at the polling booths and believe me, there's a lot going on. did you ever hear of these people. they say there's nothing going on. people that have died ten years ago are still voting. illegal immigrants are smarts of some of these politicians? >> and we got jon karl joining us now from the battleground state of florida which was the e epicenter of the last presidential election controversy. and don't have to tell you, trump is not letting this one go, jon. >> oh, he is up obsessed with this everywhere he is talking about this. this morning he is still tweeting about it and this is a bedrock principle of american integrity of our election systems. he is saying that they don't have integrity, so i asked one of the republican leaders he's talking about last night, i moderated a debate here in florida last night between the senate candidates and asked marco rubio about this. listen to his response. >> there's been a lot of question about the legitimacy of this election. donald trump has said this election is absolutely being rigged. >> this election is not being rigged and i'll explain to you i hope he stops saying that. why he should stop saying that. we have 67 counties in this state. each of which conduct their own elections. i promise you there is not a 67-county conspiracy to rig this election. >> well, and that -- >> here's noerz thing, robin, when you talk about this, local election officials in much of the country are republicans, fact, in the two biggest battleground states, ohio and florida, the two top election officials are republicans. ensure the elections are fair and because of what donald trump is saying do you think this year they're extra careful? >> reporter: oh, yes, i think there will be an eagle eye on all of the election largely because of what donald trump is saying but really this was the case before donald trump uttered the word rigged. i mean, i was down here covering the florida recount in 2000, believe me, after that process, people did a big scrub of the election process, teams is something that has been looked at very carefully for a long time. >> good point there, jon. >> all right. well, thank you, jon. now to outrage over a 911 dispatcher accused of hanging up on more than 800 emergency calls. she's now facing two misdemeanor counts with potentially more to come legal analyst areva martin joining us now. investigators say she may have hung up on even more callers than the 800 they know about fatality, but have you ever heard of anything like this? >> no, michael. this is an outrageous case. this woman crenshanda williams may have hung up on thousands of callers and as you said two really serious cases, one involving an armed robbery where there was a fatal shooting and a second one involving a woman who became unconscious. her husband's calling 911 talking to miss williams trying to administer cpr and she hangs up on him. now, fortunately for this woman, she's survived this ordeal. but these are very serious accusations against someone who was entrusted with a very serious job of providing emergency assistance and she just said she didn't have time for the callers. >> accusations, areva and also charges. two misdemeanor charges. what do you make of that? >> well, i think the law that's being used to prosecute miss williams wasn't really designed for someone in her situation. provide assistance. but at least she is facing some jail time. possibly up to a year and her supervisors are also being disciplined. >> boy, that's the last thing you expect when you call 911. >> areva, thank you. we move on to the controversy surround a top ranked it ennis playing, australia's nick kyrgios banned the rest of the season when he seemingly just quit during a match. take l doesn't even try for it. so, patrick mcenroe, let's talk -- >> horrendous. >> you played at the top level. sport if thank you for saying that. >> you have. >> that's up for debate, but, okay. >> not at all. when you see something like that -- >> well, your first reaction is one of disgust and disdain, okay, but then when you take a step back i think you have to realize that this really in a i mean to hit a serve like this, to literally tap the serve as he did is basically telling everyone that i don't care. i don't want to be here. i want no part of competing in this match. this guy has a history of doing things like this. let's also say that he's a very talented player. he's got some swagger. he's got some personality. he could be a grand slam champion if he gets his act together so i think the atp tour did the right thing, they banned him for the rest of this year but gave him an option that if psychologist and gets some help which i believe he needs that he could get the ban reduced and be ready to play at the australian open start of next year. i think that was the right decision by the tour. >> maybe that will take him to the next level. >> it should. it could and i think for him he's got to look in the mirror and realize that he's got a problem. i think he realizes that and he has said in some facebook comments and some twitter comments that he realizes he made a big mistake because people were saying you be a professional out there. he yelled at the people in the crowd. he yelled at the chair umpires and said get me out of here as quickly as i can. i mean, michael, can you imagine you letting a running back just go -- just right past you. >> no. >> no, i don't think so. >> not on purpose. >> that's what this guy did, did it on purpose. >> you think it's a bigger issue here. >> there's a bigger issue that he has and i think we need -- he needs to understand that there are consequences for his actions understand -- we need to understand in the tennis world this guy needs some help and we should give him some help. >> hopefully he'll heed the advice and can end up being a great player you said he could be. now, thank you, pat, areva and jon, thank you all so much. coming up in just two minutes "the price is right" is making history, the moment that had these contestants jumping for joy is coming up next. maybe almond breeze tastes so good because it's the only almondmilk made with california blue. but if you ask our almond growers... there's no maybe about it. almond breeze. the best almonds make the best almondmilk. proud sponsor of usa volleyball. what's going on here?

all natural, non gmo ingredients with vitamin d and whole milk. new dannon, natural is back. my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis so i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75% and even 90% clearance in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; , and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask about humira, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. ? ? i want it all ? that tango got jana kramer a perfect score on "dancing with the stars." it was latin night. of course, one couple did have to come home and we're going to talk to maks in just a little bit. >> first, though, we've got that new health headline about diabetes and exercise and why when you work out really matters. abc's chief health and medical editor dr. richard besser >> exactly, exactly. >> and you got nearly 10% of americans have this and one in three are sort of so-called prediabetics so that's a lot of people right there. how much exercise do people need to reduce this risk? >> so this is really interesting. they looked at 28 studies that followed thousands of people over many years to try to address that and what they found was if you do the 30 minutes five times a week, which is recommended, it greatly reduces the amount -- your risk of getting type 2 diabetes. if you do more than that, your risk goe what really grabbed me was that if you do less, if you do only ten minutes a day, you get some benefit compared to people who do nothing so every bit helps. you shouldn't be put off by the fact i don't have enough time. >> right, but more is more and timing was also very important in the study, correct? >> so, a separate study looked at people who had type 2 diabetes and said, okay, you've got your 30 minutes to do, do you do it as one block or do you break it up? so they had people for one period of time do it in one block of 30 minutes and the after eating a meal and what they found was if you do the ten minutes, just go for a ten-minute walk after you eat your meal, it greatly reduces blood sugar, 22% lower blood sugar with just a ten-minute walk. >> the science behind common sense. >> yes, exactly, exactly. >> is that just because your engines, so to speak, are working and processing food better. >> it was always like, well, walking helps you digest but it's controlled by a horm insulin and when you exercise, it helps our cells use the insulin and also causes our muscles to burn up that sugar so, you know, there's good reasons for why that bounces out your sugar and a great thing to do. >> in addition to exercise what else can people do? >> we talk about it all the time. if you can maintain a healthy weight or if you're overweight losing just 5% of your body weight, that's enough to dramatically reduce your risk of having type 2 diabetes. it's hard to do but it's really worth that effort. >> all of it doable too. >> it is. >> even a little bit of exercise. even a little bit of weight. it really helps your chances of succeeding. >> good information. >> richard besser, thanks very much. coming up we'll hear from maks. he's joining us live. he's off the ballroom getting ready for diaper duty. it's also my... secret weapon. because metamucil gives you more health benefits than the competition. no wonder it's the #1 doctor recommended fiber brand. royal caribbean's wow sale has been extended. get sixty percent off your second guest and up to two hundred dollars to spend at sea. but hurry: this offer ends tomorrow. come seek the royal caribbean. book your caribbean adventure now. philadelphia? strawberry. rich..., creamy... ...and delicious. nothing else tastes like philadelphia? i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for welcome back to "good morning america." we want to make your terrific tuesday just a little more sparkly. so no better way to do that than with my man, maks chmerkovskiy. we'll see him and hear about him being booted from the ballroom our cold front is moving across the area the morning, but you'd hardly know it from a precipitation moisture to work with, and a rapid decrease in clouds is likely. much of the day should be sunny with lighter wind and highs around 70. plan on a nice night with clear and calm conditions. our next weak system arrives late wednesday night into let's dance. ballroom. the stars were sizzling on "dancing's" latin night, the hottest show of the season and everyone was just wowing the crowd with their rumbas and everything else and one couple felt the heat. jesse palmer is here with that. hey there, jesse. >> hey there, robin, that's right. amber rose and her partner were booted from the ballroom. and we're going to hear from maks live in a moment, but, first, here's a look at some of the hottest moves on latin night. ?

>> i don't think -- well, i personally didn't know who this person was. i knew of her. i knew, you know, same as people reading tabloids and stuff but, things about the show is you get to find out who the person really is, you know, behind all the lights and stuff and i was surprised to find out that she's just so chill and down to earth. i was expecting some sort of like internet vixen type of personality and it's far from the truth. >> that's sweet. >> but the show is also giving us a chance to know who you are and everybody here loves you, man. you're awesome. you're a good man. when i read this i was a little season but then when i read the reason why, i was so excited because you're going to be at home preparing to be ready for the baby but are you ready for the baby in january?
