The trial at this hour, the defense is asking him to remove his prosthetics during testimony, and gasps could be heard in the courtroom. Dan and nancy are here to weigh in live. And this story is a big talker. Pressure to become a junk food junkie by her own school. This yale student who says the ivy League Officials<\/a> there told her she was too thin. She had to gain weight or leave, and they had weekly weighins for her. Yeah. She probably said enough is enough. She said, this is who i am. Yeah. Okay, and then this is a story that every parent with young kids will want to stay for. Is using tablets too young and dangerous for your toddler. Theres a new study, and well get into that. Well begin with Oscar Pistorius<\/a> taking the stand for the second day on trial for the murder of girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp<\/a>. Matt gutman is at the courthouse in pretoria, south africa. Good morning, matt. Reporter good morning, george. He described the night he killed the woman he said he wanted to spend his life with. Eventually crumpling on the witness stand, but earlier, taking off the prosthetic legs that made him famous. Gasps in the court as he walked around on his stumps trying to prove how vulnerable he may have felt that night. It was Oscar Pistorius<\/a> first public description of the tragedy. The first thing that ran through my mind was that i needed to protect reeva and i. Reporter the room nearly pitch black. If the curtains are drawn, you cant see anything in the room. Reporter pistorius said he always worried about trouble but from the outside, from intruders. If something happened that a person would be able to come into the bedroom, that the door would be locked. Reporter pistorius denied the prosecutions charge that months earlier he had fired out of a window of a friends car after being stopped by police but admitted to accidentally discharging the same friends handgun in a busy restaurant. Earlier the defense had pistorius read dozens of messages between him and reeva in the days before the shooting exposing the most intimate details of a threemonth lifelong relationship. Often loving. Sometimes mundane. Miss you, special person. Reporter she sent him sexy selfies. He called her my angel. Reporter sometimes she made him sound menacing and angry. Im scared of you sometimes and how you snap at me. Reporter breaking down as he read. Im the girl that fell in love with you and wanted to tell you this weekend. Reporter the goal, to undercut the prosecutions assertion that trouble was brewing for south africas most celebrated couple. It was a far more reserved pistorius than on monday when a man crippled by guilt first took the stand. I cant imagine the pain and the sorrow and the emptiness that ive caused you and your family. Reporter describing his descent into terror and paranoia. I dont obviously ever want to handle a firearm again so ive got a Security Guard<\/a> that stands outside of my front door at night. Reporter now you may have noticed the defense was asking pistorius the question, but they answered directly and intimately to the judge herself. She looking back at him intently scribbling notes. Now, he had wept in court burying his face in his hands crumpling on the witness tan and when woe saw him look out of the court his eyes red rimmed and almost looked dazed and has to do it all again tomorrow answering even more difficult questions. Lets bring in our legal team. Fascinating morning. Chief Legal Affairs<\/a> anchor dan abrams. Nancy grace, the host of nancy grace on hlm. And, nancy, let me begin with you. What do you make of the demonstration in the courtroom this morning . Well, i think the demonstration was a twofold purpose. One is to make the court feel sorry for him, in that vulnerable position. And the other is more pragmatic. In showing the judge i dont think theres any doubt about this that he was on his stumps at the time he heard says he heard the sound in the bathroom. Now, one thing ill give pistorius, i found him to be very, very believable when he was telling his story, however, you know, his story was he heard something while he was adjusting the fan in the bathroom. He thought he heard a window open. He thought he had to get his gun. He went and got his gun. Thats where its going to all go sideways because from this point on, his story does not jive with the neighbors, who claim they heard arguing between a man and a woman, a gunshot, a woman screaming and then more gunshots. Let me bring that to dan. She identified nancy identified the key moment, hearing the sound, going for the gun. Thats right, and going for the gun is crucial, and this is what he sort of glossed over in his direct examination, which is he is saying that the gun is under the bed. Remember, hes claiming that reeva he thinks reeva is in the bed and that he is going under the bed to get the gun out. Now, he described it sort of feeling the side of the bed in what he says is a dark room that he feels under the bed and then goes under and grabs his gun. Thats, i think, the most difficult thing for him to explain, which is how could you not have known that she wasnt in the bed . If youre going underneath that bed yeah, dan. It was on her side, dan. Well, hes now saying hes now claiming that he was sleeping on the other side and as he says he did sometimes. No, he was, but he kept his holster the holster with the gun in it was on her side. And another thing i heard this morning, dan, was that right before this happened, she 46 said, hey, whats wrong . You cant sleep . So he knew that she was there. And if he got the holster, like youre describing, and he did gloss over it, got the gun out of the holster, it was on her side at her level on the mattress. He had to see. You also have a timing problem, right, which is this happens just shortly after 3 00 a. M. And the experts have come in and testified that he was on his ipad around 1 48 in the morning. He says that they were asleep. The prosecution is suggesting, no. They didnt go to sleep at 10 00, and he didnt wake up suddenly at 3 00 in the morning. They were up fighting, and thats going to become another one of the crucial things hes going to have to explain, which is the timing. One of the things we see happening here. His testimony began with the difficulties growing up with the disability. The fear he felt growing up in south africa. The love he felt for Reeva Steenkamp<\/a>. Is this playing on the sympathies of the judge . Can it be effective . Oh, yeah. It got a lot deeper than that. He went all the way back to his childhood when he had to have his legs amputated at a very young age like 11 months old. His mother took care of him then she suddenly died surprisingly. And when he was 15, he was away at boarding school. Got a call, come see your mom. She died ten minutes after he got there. So they started at the beginning through all of the bad things that happened in his life. And, yes, its engendering sympathy. And as i told you, dan, the tears and the vomit have continued all the way up to his testimony. I have to say im shocked. Its making some people feel sorry for him. I am shocked to hear nancy say that she think hes been very credible. Thats a big statement that nancy grace thinks the defendant is credible. I said so far. Look, im a trial lawyer. I look at it practically speaking and i realize the witnesses. Hes charming. Hes very engaging. And his story so far, because hes not being interrupted or questioned, this is on direct. Crossexamination becomes its going very smoothly. When he gets on cross, hes toast. Well, well find out. Nancy and dan, thank you very much. Lets go to ginger with the weather. Yeah, we are baking into a tuesday in the southwest. And thats what i want to start with. Look at this beautiful picture from carlsbad, california. Doesnt that just scream spring .

It is now 7 43, and we continue with the yale student who became a junk food junkie, because the Ivy League School<\/a> thought she was too thin and demanded she gain weight or leave the university. The young woman wrote a provocative article about her struggle with weight and the school. Abcs Mara Schiavocampo<\/a> has the story. Reporter new claims this morning about an Ivy League School<\/a> and quite literally a student body. Yale University Student<\/a> frances chan, claiming she felt forced to eat large amounts of food because she says School Officials<\/a> believed she had an eating disorder and needed to gain weight. Writing in the huffington post, they wont look past the number on the scale to see the person right in front of them. Eating disorders are common among veries who are high achievers, and you see a lot of these type of students at Ivy League School<\/a>s. Reporter at 52 and 92 pounds, chan is small, though, she says shes healthy. But after a medical checkup in september, she says University Officials<\/a> threatened to put her on medical leave if she didnt agree to weekly mandatory weighins and medical appointments because she says they told her her weight was too low. If someone has an eating disorder, there will be a red flag raised according to the body mass index. But you do have to look at other factors. You have to look at someones diet, their exercise level. Whether or not they have any other health issues. Reporter chan says she started stuffing herself with carbs and junk food daily to gain weight including, she says, three to four scoops of ice cream twice times a day with chocolate, cookies and cheetos at bedtime. The result, just two pounds. She says, not enough for School Officials<\/a>. Chan says, thats when she refused to swallow their rules anymore. Writing, i dont have an eating disorder, and i will not let yale health cause me to develop one. In a statement, yale says they cant comment on individual students cases but that, quote, the health and welfare for all of our students is our primary concern. Chan says a new doctor is now using more than just her weight to evaluate her, and yale has agreed to let her stay in school with checkins every semester. One student eager to focus on school rather than the scale. For good morning america, Mara Schiavocampo<\/a>, abc news, new york. All right. Mara, thank you. That one is a talker. Oh, yeah.

But floodwaters claimed at least two lives, including a little girl who was swept away in mississippi.

A rescue chopper flew for 16 straight hours lifting out those hikers and carrying them to safety.

It was 40 years ago that the swedish supergroup, abba, had their International Breakthrough<\/a> with this live performance. Take a look. Waterloo i was defeated you won the war waterloo promise to love you forevermore look at them dancing. Waterloo they can sing, too. Theyre good.

The second most successful band of alltime. They celebrated their success with a Massive Party<\/a> monday night. At londons modern gallery. Who is the first . Ah. Welcome to pop news. No pulling punches. Welcome to pop news. You have to say now, well get back to you. Move on. Im guessing the beatles. But is that wrong . I dont know. Were going to find out. It is the beatles. Just in. Oh. See. Its the beatles. See . Breaking news on good morning america. This one kind of makes me sad, but i love these new pictures. Move over, grumpy cat, youve got some competition. Prince george was caught looking very unimpressed monday as he arrived in new zealand with his royal parents. Buzzfeed, proofing the photo, with shots of the grumpy prince. And weve got a few of our own. Here he is with spiderman. And getting in on the oscar selfie, peeking out from behind. There he is behind pharrell there. Not even there. Not at all. And not even with the taj mahal. And here we go. This is the final shot. This is why it makes me sad. Even grumpy, hes a goodlooking kid. You know, when i met grumpy cat, we had a connection. And now hes ruined it. And, lara, this is for you. Remember skimbles . Oh, my gosh. Skimbles. Skimbles never could make it. There he is. There he is. That tragic tale. Oh, skimbles. Were watching it again. Come on. One more time. Come on. Do it. And oh. Not even close. Didnt happen. Well, i think we found an inspiration for him. Meet max, who may just be the boldest of them all. When he sees an open box, he runs for it. Already getting more than 73,000 clicks. Hes wearing it . Yeah, hes wearing it. Skimbles does have some competition for the craziest cat out there. And this kitty is on your radar. Really athletic, too. You can never go wrong with skimbles. Just genius, gio. Thanks, gio. Dancing with the stars time now. Coming off the night like never before seen. They had the stars switch dance partners for the first time. And the new pairings helped determined by voted helped scramble the leaderboard. Take a look. It was the night of the big partner switchup. So many stars forced out of their dancing comfort zones. This is going to be so interesting. You look like my daughter. Maks never braided my hair. Val would know the answer. You know i want to break reporter for olympian meryl davis, it was a matter of switching chmerkovskiy brothers. She and val owned the night. With their argentine tango taking home three 10s. Plus a gushing review from guest judge julianne hough. I would love to dance like you. Reporter but there was no brotherly love when it came to maks whose jive with Danica Mckellar<\/a> earned this review from julianne. It felt like it was a little bit like you couldnt it was like this week could get past so you could get back with meryl. And you had to phone it in. That was definitely not the case. But thank you. Reporter the tensions still palpable when we spoke to the stars backstage. This is subject iive objectivity. Ive done this for 30 years. Julianne is too young to criticize me. Sometimes being older doesnt mean youre wiser. Reporter and back in the ballroom, more drama. The judges came down hard on olympian Charlie White<\/a> for his rumba with peta. No question, youre a beautiful dancer, but that wasnt a rumba. Reporter but real housewife nene leakes had her best night yet jazzing it up with derek hough. And paralympian, amy purdy, didnt miss a beat with new partner, mark ballas. You continue to astonish me. You really do. Reporter and the best news of all, there were no eliminations monday night. Dancers beware, next week, someone is going home. Wow. So even though they had time to rehearse with their new partner, that cant be easy to get on the dance floor and switch momentum. Amy purdy said that she was incredibly nervous to not be with derek because derek had just been marvelous. She didnt look nervous there. No. Not even for a second. What i love is that mark ballas, who has been doing this for so many years, said this was his favorite week ever on the show. It was so moving to him. That was good, as well, for the dancers. Drew carey really i loved that last night. I love what bruno said. He said youre the sugar daddy of showbiz. You can see why with the outfit. He said your performance was somewhere between Elvis Presley<\/a> and liberace. And you made it work. Im sure drew carey never heard those words before. But he really did. He had some gold lame there. Look how good he looks. I know he feels good. He doesnt look like an old man. Len was giving him a hard time. I know. I know. Everybody looked really comfortable with their new partners. Seemingly in their zone alone. Having the pros, maybe not. But i think a lot of people will be watching. Especially next monday at 8 00, 7 00 central. Thats dancing with the stars. We want to switch gears and talk about a new warning about toddlers and tablets. Theres been a rise of little kids playing with their parents smartphones and tablets. We can all relate. They snatch it out of your hands. And sometimes it helps. But experts worry about the impact that screens can have on your childs development. Abcs paula faris has our story. Reporter little abby likes to find fruit. Whoa reporter and one of charlies favorite toys is his mommys tablet. These tots are toddler techies. Not yet 2 years old. Is it easy to use it as baby sitting sometimes . Were all guilty of that. Definitely. It is easy. Especially if you are the parent of multiple kids, and i am, but you have to monitor it. Reporter according to a recent study by common sense media, 38 of babies under 2 had used tablets or smartphones. Thats up from 10 in 2011. And now companies are cashing in with a potty, a stroller compartment, even an infant bouncy seat all with a place for a tablet or ipad, but developmental experts are asking, should children this young be playing with devices. We have a potential crisis. Reporter tovah klein author of how toddlers thrive runs the Toddler Development<\/a> center in new york city. Technology takes away what they need most, which is back and forth interaction. And technology puts them on a oneonone, head down, no eye contact and information being really thrown at hem. Reporter she says tablets and smartphones are so new, theres no way to know what kind of neurological impact it may have on children, but father, robert sweetman, says sometimes its the only thing that works. Its a great bribery tool. I can use the kindle to get him in the stroller, to get out the door. Reporter we reached out to the Toy Industry Association<\/a> and individual toymakers, who told us that digital toys and Electronic Devices<\/a> can benefit a child, but that its up to the adult to choose those items, supervise and engage with the child. So, what should you do at home . Tovah klein recommends limiting screen time for under 2 to 10 to 15 minutes. And if you do allow it, never let it occupy your toddler outdoors, and dont use it as a silencer or pacifier. Applications worth trying. You got three points. Yes. Reporter for good morning america, paula faris, abc news, new york. All right, paula. And we asked what you think in our gma flash poll. Do you think kids under 2 years old, should they use tablets . And heres what you had to say. Yes, 17 . And no, 83 . How many have left your toddlers with tablets . If everyone was being honest, ill bet it would be 100 and 0 . When youre in a jam. We want to talk to dr. Jennifer ashton about this study, toddlers, technology. How dangerous is it developmentally for kids under 2 . Well, first of all, full disclosure. Been there, done that. Okay. Still doing it. The problem medically is that we dont have two decades of longterm data on this. And we do know that the first two to three years of life are critical for brain development. And so the concern is, if theyre spending a lot of time looking at a screen, what are they not spending a lot of time looking at, which is a human face. Anything out of balance is bad, but are there any benefits, perhaps . Well, i think the obvious one, george, is that they will develop this aptitude for technology, and its here to stay. They can be programmers. That happens all the time. Thats correct. That goes on in my house. Do you talk to momstobe about this . I mean, i think we all do it. But i try to minimize it. I say, no screens. But they gravitate towards it. You know what, until we actually did this piece, i actually learned something preparing for this piece. I hadnt been speaking to moms about it. I will now because its here to stay. We prepare so much for rearing children, this has to be a part of it. And, by the way, i would like an adult ipod holder for my potty. Okay. Somebodys going to get on that right now. Is there something to the flashing of the screen that weve been warned about that, sort of a. D. D. There may be. So we dont know. When we look at 20 years down the road, maybe well have more answers. Jennifer ashton. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for full disclosure here. Another investigation here. Gma investigates, should you do it . This morning, frequent flyer miles. What to do with them and what not to do with them . We have some surprises, even with very experienced travelers like abcs gio benitez. Tell us what you found out. Reporter it can be mindboggling. Its a tough decision. You might find yourself giving up and blowing your miles on just about anything. So, we brought in the ultimate expert. The airfare watchdog in this mornings gma investigates. Right now here in boston in just a year, i traveled to all corners of the country. Covering more than 300 stories. And basically living out of my suitcase. You know what that means . Lots of frequent flyer miles. And, boy, was i due for a vacation. I wanted to make the most of my miles, which sounds easy, right . Not so much. There are constant changes to flyer mile programs. Like deltas recent announcement to reward you for how much you spend instead of how many miles you fly. Its enough to make your head spin. So i called in the big guns, george hobica, the founder of airfarewatchdog. Com who has the business of air flyer miles down to a science. The biggest mistake is not getting full value for the miles. You can spend 25,000 miles for a 200 ticket or an 800 ticket. Reporter cramped in economy, with visions of first class, rewards may be your rescue. You can use those miles to upgrade. 15,000 miles to go to a 200 fair to a business fare. Reporter one click. You go from economy to plush. Its a bargain. Reporter what about putting the points toward a hotel or a rental car . Or sometimes it does make sense to use your miles for a hotel room. It depends on the price of the hotel. If you can get a 500 a night hotel for 50,000 miles or less, it might be a good deal. Reporter what about rental cars . Gio, rental cars are not such a great idea. Is 3 139 weekly cost, lets pay cash. Reporter all right. Ill drive. Not in the mood for traveling . How about Online Shopping<\/a> . And what about merchandise . Gio, never buy anything with your miles online. However, buy stuff online through the airlines shopping mall. Just google the term, Airline Shopping<\/a> mall. You get tons of bonus miles when you shop online through those malls. Reporter the takeaway before you spend your miles, always calculate the highest value. Like a Long Distance<\/a> trip, an upgrade or hotel or rental car. And put your money towards online purchases, not your points. And heres a little secret. Some airlines let you register for special mileage programs using any credit card, and it gives you free miles for eating at certain restaurants or shopping online. You learn something . Yeah. Absolutely. I know what to spend it on. Gio, thanks very much. And right behind me, who do we have . Lara in the social square. I love this assignment. Social square. Rob lowe. Guys, rob lowe. In the house. And hes got a new book. Were going to talk about that. I cannot believe. You just had a very big birthday. I did. I turned 20. It was amazing. Im so happy i can drink now. 21.

This is technology. Happy birthday. Have a seat. Thank you. New memoir called love life. Your second one. Today. It just came out today. I have to start out by giving you teasing you a little bit. We all read the New York Times<\/a> on sunday. Rob lowe on the problems with being pretty. Theres this unbelievable bias and prejudice against quote unquote goodlooking people. You know, george, youre just the journalist to bring this to light. Its a national tragedy. Statistic s show that worldwide, a minimum of 20 or 30 people suffer from this. And, you know if i cant use my podium for good, then whats the point of it, really . Really you are a selfless guy. Thats what we always say. Thank you. Thank you so much. Lets talk about this a little bit. The book is fantastic. I dont know how you keep on coming up with so many great stories. I got to tell you ill confess i went right to the middle and went to rob lowes trip to the playboy mansion. 19 years old. Can you imagine . Where were my parents . 19 years old, playboy mansion. And, see, what i love about books like this because im a fan of the genre. I like a book that doesnt take me to a place i normally get to not go. How many people get to go, in the 80s, when it was crazy. This was the zeitgeistiest place. I decided to put it in the book. Ive been telling people for years for laughs. You also talk about some missteps thaw made. And i had not heard this one before. But you actually had the chance to go on greys anatomy. The job of patrick dempsey. And you said no way. Yeah, and i tell that story because i like im talking about how all actors and all people come to places in their lives and they have a choice. Do they make the right choice . Do they make the wrong choice . What goes into making those choices . So whats in that story is the thought process i had when i chose a different show over that. And its called wish sandwich. And its one of my favorite chapters. Also a great story about amy adams as well embedded in the same way. It shows how sometimes failing or not getting something can be the best thing in the world for you. She was supposed to play your love interest. She was my love interest. The show was canceled. We were sad when it went that way. But only because it was canceled, was she available to get the job that got her an oscar nomination. June bug. June bug started her out. So like, you know, the love life lesson in that, even in something that seems bad its really good. You just dont know yet. One question came in, if you werent an actor, what would you do in your life . I would have gone to law school probably. I love law. I love public service. I might have had your early job. The real one. You are know, someone is saying the west wing may be coming back . If only. Oh, my gosh, that would be so great. Ive heard nothing about that, but i would be in makeup and hair immediately. You had a lot of fun with that show. Best ever. And you talked to lara about turning 50. Im a few years ahead of you there but a few years behind you on Something Else<\/a>. You write about this in the book, as well. Its very moving. You said, so long, your son is on the way to college. Brutal. Brutal. I knew it would be a big change for my son and for me and for the whole rest of the family. I was not prepared for how emotional it was. For me. And my wife, cheryl, was a rock. Probably because she saw me being why do you think it hit you so hard . You know, thats one of the reasons why i wanted to white the chapters because i thought by writing, i could come to terms with it. And i think it had to do with a lot of things. I think it has to do with transition. I think it has to do with mortality. I think it has to do with wanting to keep your kids the way they are forever and then the joy of turning them over to the world. And its great because everybody goes through it. And yet it fees so unbelievably unique. One of the great things that comes through in this whole book is how you did a terrific job of squeezing the most out of every stage of your life. Thank you. Thank you. I mean thats thats at its core what the book is about for everybody. Doesnt matter what you do or where you live or what your job is, everybody is the architect of their own life. And half the the whole point of it is living it to the fullest. I take that as a huge complement. Thats a lot of fun to read about it, as well. Rob lowe, thanks for coming back again.

Im the guest you wake up with. Really. Congratulations on rio 2. Thank you. I love the story. What do you think people will find most delicious about this go around with the gang . Well, i think its really exciting, i think, when a sequel surpasses the first one. And its very rare when that happens. And i think carlos saldanha, the director, and the blue sky Animation Team<\/a> has achieved that. So i think whatever you loved about the first one, you get all that again but even more of it and maybe even like it better. And theres a beautiful message about saving the environment. Also a message about family. Your character who now has kids. Shes a momma. And Jesse Eisenbergs<\/a> character. Which is kind of weird because jesse and i began our careers playing brother and sister. And now were married with kids. Its funny the twists and turns. When did you play jesse and i were on a tv show 15 years ago, called get real. Thats hilarious. I had no idea. It was nice. We grew up in new jersey right next to each other. And we met in hollywood. Didnt see each other for a decade and met again on this job. Its meant to be. Maybe. Let us know what your next project is going to be. Also, bruno mars. Yes. It was hard for me to believe watching it. Your chemistry is really adorable. I know, i nknow in animation, you dont see the actors. With him, you must have been in the studio together. Bruno is that thank you. And bruno is that charismatic. Weve actually never met. Ive never met him. Hello, bruno. Whats up . So but i hear hes really nice and he sounds great in the movie. Hes actually funny in it. I didnt know that about him. Hes so funny. Hes been on saturday night live a couple times. Hes hilarious. Of course. Hes really funny and the music is great. Yeah. Thats the thing about a cartoon, you know its a home run when there really is something not only for your kids. You know as a parent, youre going to see it more than once. I always feel kind of guilty when parents come up to me and say, ive seen your film like hundreds and hundreds of times. And i can always tell if they like the film by how much edge to their voice they have when they say that. But the soundtrack in this one, im not just saying im a little biased. But i listen to the soundtrack in my car when im driving around. Its so much fun. Yeah, no, yeah, its like definitely got the beat which led us to wonder. Your voice is beautiful. Thank you. Weve heard it both in les mis and now we hear it loud and clear. Are you going to segue and record some of your own music . No. No . Are you sure thank you. Thank you. I would like to encourage that. Thats so sweet of you. No, i dont. I like what i do. I love acting. And its very its a very challenging job to have. Its not like, you know i dont im not like a fireman. Im not, you know, a firefighter. Its not challenging in that way. But it is something that i find challenging. And i want to dedicate myself to it and i dont want to split my focus. And i have a lot of friends who are musicians. 46 im happy to have it as a hobby. Im not going to pursue it. As a tool in terms of acting. So many people weighing in.
