The locker room, some of my favorite posting this from the locker room. Look at roy williams in the middle of it all. Getting soaked and you know its great to see a coach like roy williams. Been around for so long but still understanding the players and still being involved and still being connected to the players. Only coach going with final four experience.

Millions in the path of powerful storms from texas to kentucky. Lets go to ginger zee who is tracking it all. Good morning, ginger. Good morning, michael. In the heart of the severe season we had at least 74 severe storm reports. Big hail, almost baseball size. This tornado reported in ada, oklahoma. Look at this video, the hail that was falling in argyle, texas, busting windshields and then dropping into the pool in Denton County and highland village, texas. Just Wild Pictures coming out of there. Youll see more today. I think primary threat will be including memphis and eventually nashville. Look at the severe storms as that same cold front come as across. Parts of kentucky, back through mississippi, robin, weve got not just today but through wednesday a Severe Threat we have to talk about coming up. I know youre keeping an eye on it. Ginger, thank you. Now to President Trump trying to move forward this morning after that Stunning Health care defeat. The president blaming members of his own party for the failure. Abcs senior white house correspondent, cecilia vega, has more on that for us. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter good morning. Youre right. The blame game is in full force. The president now pointing fingers at everyone from democrats to conservative republicans for that blow to health care. President trump now looking to lay blame after that crushing defeat on health care. Blasting conservatives, tweeting, democrats are smiling in d. C. That the Freedom Caucus with the help of club for growth and heritage have saved planned parenthood and obamacare. But the chair of the Freedom Caucus, unapologetic. Well, i mean at this particular point i can tell you no one has been more selfcritiquing than me. Reporter the president and fellow republicans saying they are now looking to turn the page to their next big challenge, tax reform. Also signaling they may be ready to reach across the aisle. I think its time for our folks to come together and i also think its time to potentially get a few moderate democrats on board. Reporter will democrats get on board . He moved so far to the hard right. That is virtually impossible for us to work with him. If he changes, he could have a different presidency. Reporter the blame game comes after a weekend of clashes at protrump rallies across the country. Protesters and Trump Supporters coming to blows as the president seemed to be in his own battle with Republican House speaker paul ryan, with this head scratching tweet saying, watch judge jeanine on fox news saturday night. Those who tuned in saw judge Jeanine Piero open her show with an explosive hit on ryan. Paul ryan needs to step down as speaker of the house. The reason, he failed to deliver the votes on his health care bill. Reporter but the white house claims the timing was just a coincidence, and paul ryan has the president s full support. He doesnt blame paul ryan. In fact, he thought paul ryan worked really hard. He enjoys his relationship with paul ryan. Thinks paul ryan is a great speaker of the house. Reporter the investigations into russia. The president s soninlaw Jared Kushner has volunteered to testify before the Senate Intelligence committee about meetings that he arranged with russias ambassador. David. A lot of eyes on Jared Kushner as well, cecilia, thanks to you. Lets bring in your teammate, Jonathan Karl here. Weve got political analyst matthew dowd with us here this morning. Jon, first the big picture. You remember a week before election day then candidate donald trump saying repealing and replacing obamacare, one of the single most important issues. Why must we win and Great Health Care at a tiny fraction of the cost. So easy. How big of a defeat is this . A devastating blow not only because he fails to keep a Key Campaign Promise but puts in question the rest of the trump agenda. Can he get anything passed if he couldnt do this . Can he even keep the government running which runs out of funding on april 28th. But but, david, this gives trump a chance to become the transformational president that he wanted to be, because the only way out of this is to find a way to work with democrats. There is no longer a republican working governing majority. He could reach out to democrats on drug prices, on infrastructure, even on closing special interest tax loopholes. You believe the defeat gives him that excuse . It gives him a chance to do it. The problem with that is democrats smell blood and trump has gone in the opposite direction so far. It could be a major course quick question on the millions who depend on obamacare. They heard it survived, they have breathed a sigh of relief and hear President Trump say well let it explode. So, obamacare is the law of the land. That means the people depending on the subsidies will continue. Medicaid expansion continues but all the problems with obamacare wont get addressed either. Lets bring in matt. As you know the big pivot, the president will push for tax reform. Tax cuts. Without repealing obamacare wont this make it even harder now . Absolutely, david. I mean the Health Care Reform was a Building Block that he needed for all his other parts of his plan, tax reform, infrastructure, his budget was that was a key Building Block. Thats been removed and falls down. I think democrats will have a hard time not only because of their base but because they feel like they got a victory to go along with tax cuts that are primarily aimed at the rich. I think its going to be really hard for donald trump to make that bridge on that particular piece of legislation. Matt, just a few seconds left. You heard john go out on a limb there saying it could be a transformational president. How willing will the democrats be willing to help on any legislative victory . I think its hard and their base is very much against donald trump and i think donald trump would fundamentally have to change as a person to be able to do that. I would think he needs to channel Michael Jackson which is im starting with the man in the mirror. He needs to take a look at himself and make a change. Thats what he needs to do. He needs to start the process by fundamentally changing who he is. The first time anyone has put it that way. Matt dowd, jon karl, here with us, thanks. Great to have you both guys. Robin. Now overseas to turmoil in russia. Mass demonstrations breaking out across the country. The biggest in years there by protesters angry about corruption. More than a thousand were arrested including a leading critic of president putin. Abcs Alex Marquardt has the latest and joins us this morning. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning. Thats right. We havent seen anything like this in russia in at least five years, far bigger protests than anyone expected. The official goal was to protest corruption but demonstrators there making it clear their anger is bigger than that. The largest gist play of defiance against Vladimir Putin in years. Thousands marching in moscow and almost 100 other cities and towns across russia. They were billed as protests against corruption, but the bigger message was clear. Russia without putin, they chanted surrounded by riot police, almost none of the rallies had been approved by the authorities, and the crackdown was swift. This woman lifted and dragged away. She later said she wasnt even a protester. One of more than 1,000 people arrested on sunday. Demonstrators tried to block the arrest of protest organizer and anticorruption crusader alexei navalny. No need to fight to get me out, he tweeted. Our topic of the day is the fight against corruption. Navalny called for the protest after publishing a video report claiming that Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has accrued luxury items. During his time in office. Claims that he denies. One american was also arrested. Journalist alec lunh tweeted i was released 5 1 2 hours after being arrested and the navalny protest caused him to be charged with holding an unsanctioned rally. Hundreds are still in detention this morning, and however brave it was for the protesters to come out, the president has an Approval Rating of 80 . As for navalny, he was in court, fined an sentenced to 15 days in jail for organizing the protests. David. Thanks, alex. Now to a new arrest. The family of the american tourist killed in london is speaking out this morning. Abcs lama hasan has the latest from london. Good morning, lama. Reporter this morning the family of Melissa Cochran, wife of kurt cochran skilled in that attack in the heart of london speaking out just moments ago. The most difficult part of all of this is that kurt is no longer with us. And we miss him terribly. He was an amazing individual who loved everyone and tried to make the world a better place. Reporter now Melissa Cochran is still in the hospital still recovering from her wounds. The couple had been in europe celebrating a milestone. Their 25th wedding anniversary tragically cut short. David. Horrible. Lama hasan with the breaking news, thank you. So sad. Back here at home the manhunt for those masked robbers caught on camera breaking into a las vegas rolex store inside the bellagio hotel. Witnesses are speaking out about those moments and abcs linzie janis has more. Reporter this morning, Las Vegas Police searching for two of these three suspects seen in the cell phone video dressed in animal masks fleeing the scene after breaking into a highend rolex store. Possible active shooter in a zebra mask. Reporter the trio targeted the luxury vegas casino, the bellagio. Police say the suspects sledgehammered their way into the Jewelry Store on saturday with tourists in plain sight. One witness close enough to snap this photo. At first i thought it was just some sort of strange vegas thing that was happening because theres lots of people in costumes. He looked like he was holding something long and black in one hand, and i took a picture and then noticed that he was holding what looked like a gun in the other hand. Reporter the incident reminiscent of the film oceans eleven. Hundreds fled the scene after witnesses mistook the sound of sledgehammers for gunshots. Parts of the hotel on lockdown until the robbers made what Police Describe as a clumsy getaway. They attempted to flee the scene in a vehicle. That vehicle failed to start for them. They tried to carjack some other people. That didnt go so well. They subsequently then fled on foot. Reporter no one was injured and police are not commenting on how much was stolen. This morning one person in custody, the other two suspects are still at large. Guys. All right, linzie, thank you. Amy has the mornings other top stories starting with an avalanche in japan . Such a sad story. Eight students are feared dead after that avalanche at a ski resort just north of tokyo. Dozens injured. The students were mountain climbing at the time. Authorities say an avalanche warning was in effect. And some breaking news in the fight against isis. The pentagon is sending as many as 300 additional u. S. Troops to iraq to advise and assist local forces in the battle to retake the city of mosul. This comes days after the reported death of 200 civilians in air strikes. Police are searching for potential suspects after sundays deadly shooting at a nightclub in cincinnati. One person killed. 15 others injured. Some critically. Police say an argument sparked that violence. And two technicians are under arrest after a terrifying scene at a mall when this escalator suddenly reversed direction and doubled its speed sending shoppers in hong kong tumbling over one another. 18 were injured. The technicians are accused of tampering with the escalator after the incident. And finally, a real hazard on the golf course. Check this out. One guys shot ended up right there by that alligator hitting him so the alligator says, hey, thats mine and grabs the ball. Swallows it before crawling back to the water. That may be a bit unusual. Anyone who plays golf in florida knows alligators are par for the course. Well done. 7 15 on a monday morning. Earlier than usual. I wonder how many golfers are saying i still make my friend take a stroke because he lost that ball. To another frenzy par for the course. The final four. Its a good day to be a carolina. Doesnt matter if youre North Carolina or South Carolina because youre both going on to the next round. T. J. Holmes is here with all the excitement. Whats up, t. J. Good morning, kind sir. North carolina now going to its record 20th final four. The other teams, a combined theyve been never, never and pretty much never. But the talk is how North Carolina got there. Put there by a guy who only reporter North Carolina and kentucky put on a show. In a back and forth elite eight thriller. Oh, wow, what a shot. Reporter with seven seconds left on the clock, freshman malik monk, secured the wildcat comeback with this miracle threepointer. But with the game now tied and seemingly headed to overtime, the tar heels race down the court and this happens. Maye for the win. Reporter luke maye, a sophomore and former walkon hit the game winner with 0. 3 seconds left sending the tar heels to the final four. Im the guy that had him as a walkon. So how dumb am i . Reporter thats right. The talk of College Basketball this morning was only a walkon last year. Recruited from his home state of North Carolina, he passed up scholarship offers at other schools to be a tar heel. Maye usually comes off the bench and averages 14 minutes and just 5 1 2 points per game. I just kind of stepped back and gave me the ball and i just shot it and luckily it went in. Reporter in sundays other matchup the unlikely belle of the ball, seventh seeded South Carolina and gamecocks advance to their first ever final four knocking out the Florida Gators in Madison Square garden. Gamecocks are in the final four . After knocking out duke and baylor, the gamecocks made it a Third Straight upset. It was defense that powered their unlikely run to the final four.

Millions are in the path of Severe Weather this morning after storms in oklahoma and texas overnight. A reported tornado touching down south and now more tornadoes, more hail, damaging winds in the forecast as ginger has been telling us with the days ahead. But first this half hour well turn to the new details about that missing tennessee teacher and the 15yearold student. Hes accused of kidnapping her and authorities revealing the secret way they may have communicated before disappearing two weeks ago and abcs eva pilgrim is in tennessee with much more. Good morning, eva. Reporter good morning, david. This morning marks two weeks since the two disappeared. There have been over 1,000 tips but not a single sighting. Investigators say they have no clue where the two could be. This morning, Elizabeth Thomas family hoping this newly released video of the 15yearold seen here with her brother you want to start from the back or do you want to start from the front . Reporter will help the public recognize her voice. She speaks with a very slight lisp just very slight. Youll recognize her voice if you hear it. Reporter authorities now revealing new details on how elizabeth and her former teacher 50yearold tad cummins were communicating just days before he allegedly kidnapped her. Investigators uncovering deleted email drafts between the teen and her teacher left through a computer at their school. They were save the message and let it save as a draft. The other person would log in, read the message and then delete it. Reporter the messages investigators say showed a romantic relationship. I saw you standing next to your backpack this morning and makes a reference to a body part of hers and, you know, talking about how nice that looked. Reporter authorities also saying cummins researched covert ways to communicate through instagram and specific encrypted texting apps but elizabeths sister telling abc news cummins didnt just send messages saying her sister complained he showed up to her workplace as recent as the saturday before the pair disappeared. She would go and tell people to tell him that she wasnt there and she would go and hide until he left and she thought it was really weird. She felt uncomfortable. Reporter despite a National Alert police say there havent been any credible sightings of the two since elizabeth was dropped off by a friend at a restaurant two weeks ago. It feels like she just vanished. And i know thats impossible like someone had to see her. Reporter her large family in Constant Contact with each other waiting holding on to each other and holding on to hope. We just live for that day when were going to get a phone call that says im all right. I need somebody to come get me. Reporter authorities think the two are avoiding the public and they are asking people to keep an eye out in places like parking lots, camping grounds and in rural areas. David. Eva pilgrim in tennessee, eva, thank you. I want to bring in former fbi special agent brad garrett. Always great to have you with us. We heard what eva reported that so far two weeks and no credible sightings. What does that tell you . It tells me two things if they are still alive and hopefully they are, he has found a place to secrete them basically off the grid, in other words, a remote cabin, by a l e lake, maybe he has a campsite. Im going to guess he prestaged that. Maybe with food, other items, so that they could go there and hide because thats literally the only way theyre going to survive at least in the short run. Brad, we know that a lawyer for the 15yearolds family now says that there was a time when she was at work and would tell coworkers to lie when he would show up, that she wasnt there but when in fact she was actually hiding so there have been problems along the way. And there clearly is in every one of these relationships where you have a 15yearold and an older adult. I mean, the realization will set in with the 15yearold like what am i doing . And then the adult becomes more dominating and domineering and i think thats probably what you see in that particular example. Ill tell you there was one thing in evas report that will make any parents heart race when they hear of this draft email way to communicate. Start a draft email that nobody sees and nobody sends and communicate that way. Al qaeda has used it. General petraeus, Paula Broadwell used it. Type in an email, save it as a draft and someone that has access to the same account logs in, pulls up the draft, reads it, neither answers it, deletes it but it never goes out in the system so Law Enforcement or anyone else couldnt capture it. Brad garrett with us, we always appreciate your insight. Lets all hope that 15yearold is okay. Yes, indeedy. Coming up in two minutes our safety alert about fire extinguishers. Our eyeopening experiment when gio benitez is with us next. Gio benitez is with us next. Its gotcha day best day ever. Love you, dad. I love you too, sweetie. We are back now with a new warning about fire extinguishers. Not knowing how old yours is or how to use it could put your family at risk. Abcs gio benitez is back joining us from the Morris County Public Safety academy in new jersey. Good morning, gio. Reporter hey, robin, good morning to you. Listen, fire extinguishers can stop those small fires from turning into raging infernos and really you just buy them, forget about them and dont touch them until you need it so do you know how to use these things . Will they even work . Were going to put them to the test in just a moment but first take a look at this. Were in morris township, new jersey, going door to door with the local Fire Department making sure residents and their fire extinguishers are good to go in the event of a blaze. Im gio, were with good morning america. Hi, gio. Im lil. Reporter while everyone we do meet has a fire extinguisher you have it right by the door, you know exactly where it is just having one always isnt enough and now were putting residents to the test. First up, expiration dates. Experts say you need to replace an extinguisher every ten years. Heres why, ron has a perfectly good extinguisher but out in his garage. Take a look at that. This one is in the red. When was the last time you checked in one . I dont know. Is this possible . 1981. Yes. Reporter thats right. His extinguisher is 36 years old. Our fire team setting up a controlled blaze. He squeezes the handle but its pressure gone. Nothing. Now when you look at that and think, oh, boy, if there was a fire oh, yeah. In the garage. Youd be in trouble. Very much so. Reporter 1981, unlike a bottle of wine, it doesnt get better with age. Crucial, location. Experts say fire extinguishers need to be easily accessible, definitely not under the kitchen sink where we found meredith kimballs. Here it is under the sink. Under the sink. Reporter in the event of a kitchen fire chief jesse carr says you might not ever get to it. You want it away from the stove. Where the fire might actually start. Not only that but we realize the safety pin is missing. Compromising its integrity. We place a brandnew one close to an exit, a safe distance from any harmful flames. Come on in. Reporter lets go inside. Down the block we meet dana, mother of two. Hers also under the sink but her issue, she admits she doesnt know how to use it. Lets test it. Sure enough when the heat is on, she doesnt pull the pin wasting valuable time. I dont even know how to. Reporter after 20 critical seconds she finally figures it out. It was hairy there for a second because you didnt know how to use it. You didnt know you had to pull the pin out first. So experts say there is a simple acronym to remember, pass, pull the pin, youll aim, youll squeeze and youre going to sweep at the base of the fire. But if youre not comfortable or you cant put it out in 30 seconds or less, just get out. So dont try to be the hero. Do not try to be the hero. Let the Fire Department handle it. Theyre equipped and trained to handle larger fires. Reporter going home with two. Reporter theyre equipping all our families with two brandnew fire extinguisher, one suited to tackle small fires in your home. You get a new extinguisher. How do you like that . Reporter and so you hear that noise there in the background. Well give you a demo. I want to show you this. This is important. You see this, you want to make sure your fire extinguisher has a gauge. You want to make sure its in the green just like this. That its ready to go. Check that every month. But guess what, if its ten years old, robin, just get rid of it. Get a new one. You want to make sure it works. Good advice there, so you know, we all know fires can get out of hand so quickly. When do you know to call the Fire Department . Well, robin, you always want to go ahead and call 911 right away no matter the fire. Get everyone safely out of the house. But, if you have a small fire perhaps like a stovetop you want to remember that acronym, p. A. S. S. , you want to go ahead and pull the pin, you want to aim at the base of the fire, you want to squeeze and you just want to sweep and when it is out, you want to go ahead and get out of that room right away, out of that house and get to 911. Call them right away. Yes, small fire. Not the fire that we just saw you. Something else we should look for on the fire extinguisher, is there some marking we should look for . Reporter yeah, you always want to look for this ul listed here. You see that, that means it is certified. It is ready to go so you want to look for that. All right, gio, thanks a lot. Michael. All right, thank you, robin. Coming up on our big board, the massive response to those missing teens in d. C. What the citys mayor is now doing to help find them. Well talk about that when we come back in two minutes. The u. Wondering, what if . I let go of all those feelings. Because i am cured with harvoni. Harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. Its been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. And is proven to cure up to 99 of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. Certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. Before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if youve ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment.

Linsey davis and dan abrams are both here at the table with us. Well begin with the big response to those missing teens in washington. The citys mayor now announcing a tank force to address the issue after a social Media Campaign revealed the Alarming Number of girls who have gone missing. Many of them black or latino, so where does it stand . So, those hashtags are still trending big. Find our girls, missing d. C. Girls. The good news is since our report two of the girls have been located. Great. The bad news that still means more than a dozen reports of missing people still out there in washington, d. C. But the mayor did announce an initiative on friday that theyre going to start assigning more police officers, theyre going to have several initiatives, theyre going to be earmarking money, theyre going to be creating a tank force in order to work with vulnerable teens and that should help. That should be a good thing. The Congressional Black Caucus also has asked the attorney general and also the fbi to get to the bottom of this. What is going on here . Now, according to the d. C. Police, theyre saying all of these girls have run away. Now, that certainly shouldnt diminish the urgency because you have, for example, one of the girls who did turn herself in who had been classified as missing turned herself in over the weekend to a Fire Department. She said she had been having an issue with been treated poorly by a Foster Parent and been staying in a laundromat during the night and she said during the day when she would walk the streets men would solicit her and prey on her and couple that with a statistic that black girls make up 40 of Human Trafficking victims you see these girls cant simply be written off as just runaways. This has gained a lot of momentum online. Its been everywhere. Some people say this information has been a little misleading as well. There has been a case of a little whisper down the lane. There are a lot of people who are under the impression that theres a serial killer on the loose, that 14 girls went missing in just 24hour period and its not just of that magnitude. There still is a problem but its not true. What we do know is true, theres this overwhelming sentiment in social media and beyond of people saying when black people go missing they dont get the same amount of coverage. I think many of us could come up with three or more names of white girls who went missing. Walltowall coverage. Nonstop, right. But is the same true of black girls . I would struggle to come up with one black girl who has gone missing in recent years . One missing person, period, is one too many. One, i mean, too many but you are absolutely right. Weve been hearing i reached out to you last week because people were talking about it on social media and, dan, it takes a hashtag . Look, ive been covering these kind of cases for 20 something years and lets be honest about this. In almost every one of those cases, its white girl. Thats the bottom line. And i think the great thing about this hashtag whether there are more or there are not more right now, whether this is just more attention to it, thats a good thing. Which is we got to Start Talking about this because a lot of these cases are being solved by helping by going public. The public is helping. And if we arent allowing, we meaning the media as a whole, arent allowing the public to see these cases and to see these girls, then how can they help . So, lets talk about it. Lets admit the fact that we are sort of promoting, showing, displaying more cases with white girls and now lets change that. And lets try and help solve this. Linsey will stay on top of this and have followup reporting on runaways. That is part of the problem. Police say its a runaway, part of the problem. Because they can fall because they dont have the amber alert. One missing kid is one too many. Absolutely. Were going to turn our focus to the popular messaging service whatsapp. Which is under fire. Police learned the terrorist in that London Attack used it to send secret messages before the attack and the app has encryption abilities which could make which would have big implications. Tell us what that means exactly. This isnt the first terrorism case where the allegation has been that the terrorists were using one of these Encryption Services right before the attack. Lets beles means. It means that user one gets whats effectively a public key from whatsapp to send a message that only user two can then open. And maybe just as importantly, whatsapp would tell you even they cant see it. No one can now see it once its been encrypted. Not just conversations, its videos, its groups, its everything and what makes whatsapp different, you dont have to request it, its automatically encrypted and creating a very difficult situation for Law Enforcement because theres whatsapp says theres no way to get to these conversations. What about a back door . Lets create a back door. Whatsapp says that defeats the purpose. The of what we do. Anyone you make, anyone can use it. They are horrified at the attack that happened, thats from whatsapp says and is cooperating with Law Enforcement. Well be right back. Whatsapp and cooperating with Law Enforcement.

We are back now with that major backlash over United Airlines decision to prevent two girls from boarding a flight because they were wearing leggings. Theres much more to the story and abcs diane macedo is going to have all that for us. There is, robin. A series of tweets from just one passenger has fueled a full on firestorm. Celebs and others are now blasting the airlines dress code as sexist and intrusive. Reporter this morning, United Airlines is dealing with a different kind of turbulence after two girls had to change clothes before boarding a flight from denver to minneapolis on sunday. We heard the gate agent say, you know, these arent my rules. I just enforce them. And that was when they looked very panicked. Reporter outraged, fellow passenger and activist Shannon Watts took to twitter writing a united gate agent isnt letting girls in leggings get on flight. Since when does United Police Womens Clothing . To me it seems like a sexist policy. Reporter united says it was riding under its pass Rider Program where employee relatives and friends can fly free or at heavily discounted prices and the airline tells abc news when taking advantage of this benefit all employees and pass riders are considered representatives of united. The passengers this morning were united pass riders and not in compliance with our dress code for Company Benefit travel. With these buddy passes there is specific language about what is appropriate and inappropriate. The airline is saying if you are going to fly for free for us, you are going to meet certain standards of dress. Reporter but many turned to social media disappointed in how united handled the situation. Some even pointed to the some even pointed to the airlines post from last june, showing a woman wearing leggings at the airport for International Yoga day. Celebs are weighing in too. Chrissy teigen writes i have flown united before with literally no pants on, just a top as a dress. And Patricia Arquette had a back and forth with the carrier. At one point replying, leggings are business attire for 10yearolds. Their business is being children. In the end, united says the family was still able to travel on the next flight using their passes and reassures its regular customers that leggings are welcome. And many women are now responding with the stopshaminggirls. But one man tweeting with the company took a different approach saying, its not going to be pretty, but he plans to wear leggings on his next united flight. Lets just hope they didnt start a new trend. Oh, no. Theyre not going to start one with david and i. No leggings. We didnt tweet. Definitely was not our tweet. I wonder how long ago the rules were that they came up with them. A lot of girls wear leggings. Especially young girls. Again, that was for their particular policy. Wasnt for all passengers. Its not just leggings, ripped jeans, mid drift tops, flipflops and so on. Diane, thank you. A member of our gma family is speaking out about undergoing a double mastectomy in her 20s. Come on back.

Hes trying. Lets get a check of your local forecast. Hello, it isisisisis cool and breezy transition from yesterdays storm, becoming clear and even cooler tonight. A roller coaster of highs this week. Today well have 8 along the coast, 60 san mateo, 65 napa, concord our warm spots. Tonight 40 to 48 degrees. My sevenday forecast, little bit warmer than average tuesday and wednesday but and now to an important medical decision from a member of our gma family, a talent booker, paige moore, was just 22 years old when she learned she had the brca gene mutation that made her chances of getting Breast Cancer before the age of 40, 47 times more likely. I was 22 when i took the brca test. If you test positive for the brca1 gene, the lifetime risk to develop Breast Cancer can be up to 85 . My doctor said im really sorry. Your brca1 it didnt hit me in that moment. It didnt hit me for at least another year. When people have an increased risk because of one of these predisposition genes, we talk about several different strategies they may use to manage that risk. The two that really stood out to me that i knew are my two choices, i could either go into high surveillance programs where youre in and out of doctors offices every six months and doing mris and doing mammograms, i really felt like it wasnt surveillance and it was more just waiting to get cancer. I felt like every single day i looked in the mirror and i was like im going to get cancer today. It just completely consumed me in a way that i never felt before. My other option was i could have a preventative double mastectomy. And thats what i did. We also discussed the fact that she didnt have to do it right now. Even with a brca 1 mutation, the risk for developing Breast Cancer in the decade of the 20s is still quite low. But she was very convinced and very confident in the decision that she ultimately made. I remember thinking, im going to have to do this at some point. Im strong and im healthy and im cancerfree right now. Shes on her bed in recovery and i remember leaning over her bed and the enormity of what she had done really hit me, holding her hand and thinking, thank you so much for doing this. You did this for yourself, but you really did this for us too. It was a big moment. Im so glad that i did it when i did it. But theres a huge part of it that comes that i wasnt necessarily ready for. Ive never had anxiety in my life and now i have an overwhelming sense of anxiety. Crying. Its not all the time. It comes randomly. Learning how to deal with that has been really difficult. I hope she can be the inspiration to other people that she is to me. I couldnt love her more. Now i have you for a long, long time. Yeah. Yeah. I have met so many amazing people because of this. I walked in new york fashion week. It was the first time in history it was all people walking who had been affected by Breast Cancer in some capacity. I decided to have the double mastectomy because i wanted to be a warrior, and i didnt want to be a worrier. I wanted to take control of my life. I wanted to give myself the opportunity to beat cancer before i ever got it. Or before it got the chance to beat me. And paige and dr. Kristi funk cofounder of the Pink Lotus Breast Center are joining us. I want to tell you, first of all, thank you for being so brave and sharing your story. We know how difficult the surgery is. This is not easy and its a lifetime decision. You went to dr. Funk for advice. Dr. Funk, tell me what you told paige. I was on set. She pulled me aside. We were in the green room saying you just found out. You hadnt seen your own doctors yet and i basically sized you up in two seconds flat as a no nonsense, these breasts are not going to take me down kind of girl so we talked about roads of surveillance or surgery and she wanted the surgery. How rare is it to be tested this young and to find this information out at 22 . Its infrequent. As the brca gene is getting more understanding out in the general population, were finding women younger and younger and they need to make this decision that paige made. The interesting thing is a lot of people think that this is a female disease passed on from female to female but paige found out it was her father who was the carrier. Why is this important for women to know . So important. Your dna is half from your father so mom and dads side, first, second and third generations back you want to think multiple, rare. Young. So young, cancers happening prior to age 50 in the family. Multiple, two or more family members with breast, ovarian, pancreas, prostate and finally, rare, having a male Breast Cancer, ovarian, pancreatic are uncommon. We heard from paiges doctor saying she didnt have to have the double mastectomy right away but i know what its like when you think, i got to get this i was ready. You were ready. How do you weigh that decision as to when you get the surgery and is there an advantage to doing it when youre younger . This is not a one size fits all approach. You have to individualize it to the woman in front of you. What matters to her most in terms of the priorities. How does it affect her perception . Does she want to breastfeed . Is she in a stable relationship . Is she emotionally ready and mature enough to handle a permanent irreversible thing. It is a permanent thing. Were reminded of it every day. The feelings that you loose, the sensations that you lose. It is something it is a huge decision. I always say when i felt the shower hit me i would cry because it would be so obvious to me that i had gone through this horrific thing. You went out and reached out on instagram, social media. Got a lot of support out there . So much support. Im so thankful im raising so much awareness for survivors. We can do this. Thanks so much. Thank you so much, dr. Funk, and we will be right back. Local breaking news in west oakland. A residential building still on fire there. There is possibly a fatality. Firefighters say they thought they saw a body on the third floor, but they cannot yet confirm that. Flames forced them out and crews are still in a defensive position. We know three people were hurt. Firefighters hope to have this fire out perhaps in the next hour. Brett cross is on scene. We actually do have a sigalart in marin county, northbound 101 just before the central san rafael exit. A semi hauling a crane flipped over on its side. A lot of debris roadway. Meteorologist were off our morning lows but still pretty chilly in some neighborhoods from 43 in santa rosa to oakland right now, 54. A whole lot of sunshine today, a few clouds heading into the afternoon hours. Breezy and below average, upper if ifts to mid 60s. Saturday, some 80s inland. Well continue to send out push alerts on that fire and the news continues now with good go big or go home welcome back to gma. So proud of paige. What a powerful story and she said there are a lot of her friends here. Her breast friends are right there. Right there in the audience. Its happening younger and younger and younger, hi, david. Hi, robin. Youll be here all week. I might come by tomorrow if you call me up. Oh, wow. You heard that. He said that. You mean come here. On the air. On the air. Its the final countdown to the final four. March madness. Oh, yeah. [ applause ] the big matchup all this weekend and all the basketball fans can finally go back to work because during march madness, not a lot of work is done but theres this wonderful teacher in North Carolina, raleigh, North Carolina, she incorporated into her lesson plan taking the brackets and making seventh grade and filled out the brackets for an experiment on experimental probability so made it a math challenge and theyre very happy because North Carolina made it to the final four but still did you all have a teacher like that especially in math to kind of apply it in a way that would challenge you . Could have turned out so much differently. I think it turned out just fine . Youre doing pretty well. I mean, i always loved teachers who take something in the real world, something youre interested in, something these kids hear about every day from their friends for the family, from us and they turn it into something to learn from. Kind of like hamilton as a musical. Thats true . Now you have a whole this teacher did it because a teacher had done it for her. This is a gift that keeps giving and connect it to something in realtime in the world. The probability of South Carolina making it to the mens final four, 1. 1 . Oh, my god. 1. 1 . And here they are. Wow. So, it was a creative way and kudos to that teacher and others for finding ways i know we didnt get graded on our picks but how are yall doing . I havent gotten a chance to next up what, do we have. Well move on about our picks. Really, so we all failed that class just those brackets were in the garbage can a long time ago, a week or owe ago. Not easy. Coming up next, this is a very good challenge and its something i know ive struggled with. Battle of the presents. Okay. Hmm. Who do you think its more difficult to buy a gift for, a man or a woman . Man. What . Thats interesting. Not even close. Not even close. Not even close. Why is it so hard . For you guys . Lady, lets discuss. Let me count the ways. You guys are very tricky. Tie. Were very simple creatures. Were not saying youre not. Thats the hard part. My dad would put the same things on his christmas list, tie, socks or his favorite cologne. Simple. But you know, there was a professor at Carnegie Mellon who said he will get scientific about it and did a study with 200 people write down three gift ideas, three for women and three for men and took how much time it took for each one to write down for the men or women to determine who you had to think more for. Very scientific. Very scientific and you know what, but it kind of goes into this from friends. Remember this from friends. This goes to show who is harder to buy a gift for. You was gold. This is silver. Huh. Well, maybe it changed. Oh, my god. You actually exchanged it. Isnt it better i exchanged it for something i enjoy and that i can get a lot of use out of . What did you get . Credit. Everything comes back to a friends episode. You want the results . Yes. Okay, men found it relatively easy to think of gifts for other men. It took them about 40 seconds. Women took them about 40 seconds to buy gives for other women. But they found it much harder to get gifts for women, it took 60 seconds. Men for women. Men for women. How about women for men . Yall are pushing my numbers here. Theyre not exactly come on. We did that math thing. But that teacher didnt teach me so im a little off. But thats the only thing i got here. Women as they women to men took 40 second, men to men took 40 second, men and women picking for women took 60 seconds so women took longer all the way around. All right. Yeah. Theres more to choose from. If i knew credit was an option its always an option, baby. Its always an option. Look, ive learned i would just rather come to you and say what do you want . Just tell me because i dont want to buy something you dont need or dont want. Id rather get you something you want. Just tell me. Remember that. Christmas. Christmas, christmas. Just tell me what you want. Im making a mental list. If not youre getting cologne, socks or what else, underwear. A tie. I dont know why i thought underwear for david. Another segment coming up. Coming up, really, though, this right now we want to show you a picture from a beautiful example of how it takes a village really. Milliholliman documented her daughters adoption day with a series of photos recognizing the people who supported the journey and the amazing photos have gone viral. She didnt mean for them to but people have just loved it and now milliand her adorable 5yearold daughter wren like a little bird are joining us from raleigh, North Carolina. Good morning, guys. Say, good morning. Good morning. I love your sign. Hello, wren. Hi, millie. So, millie, tell me about this decision that you made to document your journey. Well, i wanted to do something for wren that she can look back on and, you know, a few years and recognize how excited i was for her adoption day but then also the rest of our family just so she could know how much we loved her. Such a wonderful, beautiful idea and, millie, we know that you have fostered a number of children and you decided to adopt wren. Just tell us how you came to that decision and how that all came about. Well, i knew from the first time i met wren she was the first child i ever met through foster care i wanted to adopt her but i wasnt able to quite yet so i had to wait a while for that to finally happen. So now were just excited weve been waiting almost three years for this moment. Hey, wren, its david in the studio. Are those little kitty cats on your shirt . Yeah. Yes, sir. Can we borrow that shirt sometime, wren . Its so cute. They like your shirt. Shes not convinced. The answer is no. She doesnt want to hurt your feelings. Youre going to have a hard time prying that away from her. Millie, i understand that theres some really exciting news that wren is going to get an addition to the family pretty soon. Is that true. Yes. Yes, were already fostering a little boy and ive had him hes 18 months old and have had him since he came home from the hospital and i should be adopting him within the next year. I love that picture that you made. Im next. Theyre so simple and so beautiful. Oh, yes. Millie thank you. What is your message for those watching this morning about opening up their homes and opening up their hearts . I hear a lot of people say about it. When i tell them im fostering, they could never do it. Its too hard and it is hard. Ive had a lot of kids order and its tough to see them leave but its also really rewarding so we get to make a difference in the kids lives and its good to remember that its easy to live for ourself but its usually mostly rewarding when we live for others. Hey, wren, you love mommy . Yeah. Ah. So much. Show momma. We love this story. This much. This much. I love you, baby. You know, this whole thing came about because millie, you lost a friend very young, correct, and you decided to change the way you looked at the world and life. Yes, i lost a friend to Breast Cancer about a year before i started fostering so i decided that, you know, i needed to make things happen and live big while i had the opportunity. Ah. Thank you for that. Oh, little duck lips, what are you doing there, wren . I used to play with my mommys hair like that too. Having some fun. Well, wren and millie, thank you for sharing your story with us. We appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you. Were very excited. You having us on. Can you wave to them . Bye. Oh. Thats just amazing. I know. Just tugs at your heartstrings. How do you beat that on a monday . Well, Jake Gyllenhaal going oneonone with michael. I dont know. There are so many great smiles out here this morning. I keep seeing you. Whats your name. My name is kally. Shes from shreveport, louisiana. Its chilly but not bad. Well warm right up and theyll do so in washington, d. C. Too. I have great news. Look at that. The cherry blouse sops full bloom and not too many hurt by the freeze. We were so concerned about it. Ah. We are so happy. Are you staying warm . Youre in wisconsin. Youre tough. Oh, wait, youre chicago. Oh, you know that too. All right. Will, either way. Lets go ahead. That was a big check. Lets get a check a litt helm gist mi meteorologist mike nicco. Partly cloudy today, 50s and all this brought to you by trugreen. You guys got so excited when i came over by you. I love this energy. All right, michael. Thank you, ginger. And, you know, Jake Gyllenhaal is a very busy man. Hes taking on the big screen in a new movieli fe belling it out on broadway. We had a chance to sit down and talk movies, music and the one time our own George Stephanopoulos made him nervous. Take a look. You guys got eyes on it anywhere . Do you see it . Reporter its a race to Save Humanity in the scifi thriller life with Jake Gyllenhaal flying through zero gravity as dr. David jordan leading a crew and a mission to discover life on mars. Thats beautiful. He said this quote, i cant stand what they do to each other down there to explain as to why he was up there. Do you think he was hoping to discover Something Better . Yeah, i think so. I think actually at the beginning of the movie he looked at humanity and was a real cynic. It was interesting to play a character like that because i feel the same way sometimes about things that are going on down here. But i think being here and staying here particularly in this country, you know, now in the world is the most important thing. Though, i mean im down for Space Exploration but i dont think you should send me up there. They put you in a harness flying around. Training thing for your bane to get around but also really fun and then sometimes, you know, theres the possibility of a little chafining and some rash t you know from football gear its the same thing . We dont chafe where youre talking about chafing. Okay, yeah. Perhaps put on different areas. Nobody can do yours except you. Reporter Ryan Reynolds has a man crush on you. He said you were one of the most interesting actors working in hollywood today. Well, i think he has fantastic taste. Thats for sure. Ill second his opinion. Thank you. I think you have fantastic taste too. Thank you. Thank you. From the height reporter the oscar nominee on broadway at the ambassador theater groups newly renovated and reopened hudson theater where hes starring in the revival of sunday in the park with george about the painter george sarath. Closest to my heart. Do you have to do vocal warmups . Yeah. Can you teach me one quick one. The one everybody does. [ rolling his tongue ] can you imagine . Can you imagine michael i want to hear you sing sondheim. When the woman that you wanted goes you can say to yourself what id give i know our own George Stephanopoulos. Yes. He came to the play. Yeah and, you know, its sunday in the park with george. Every time i said the name i kept thinking of george. George stephanopoulos is here. I keep saying george, literally i come out in the firstage, all right, george, as long as its your night, george. And, you know, its a lot of georges. This play is about beauty. Its about love and its about inspiration. Yes. What inspires you, man . Wow. So many things inspire me. I got a note the other night from a couple whose child is suffering right now at st. Judes and is going through chemotherapy and through st. Judes they came and got tickets and gave them a respite from everything they were going through and gave them inspiration and reconnected them. Thats why i do what i do. To me that connection is a deep inspiration. When you walk up to the theater and it says Jake Gyllenhaal, radiant. They got to add inspiring. I think they have great taste. Inspiring to that. They do have great taste. Thank you so much, man. So nice to see you always. Always. [ applause ] good job. That was fun. Had a great time with him and i have to go see the show. When he talks about George Stephanopoulos being in the audience and saying all these georges, he wanted to say George Stephanopoulos is here. Thats why i the other george. But what a voice . Yeah. Hes amazing. Who knew . I saw it. He sings nearly the entire show. I mean, its breathtaking. Another reason to love him. Yeah. What cant that man do . You can go check him out in life. Its in theaters now and when we come back, ghost in the shell stars Juliette Binoche and pilou asbaek are here live. There they are right there. You feel every mountain weve ever conquered. In our sports cars, you feel every podium weve ever climbed. And now, theyve come together to create something youve never felt before. Introducing the glc coupe. Part suv. Part sports car. All mercedesbenz. We are back now with Juliette Binoche and pilou asbaek. They star alongside Scarlett Johansson in the futuristic scifi thriller ghost in the shell. And, juliette plays a scientist who turns scarlett into a cyberenhanced soldier and, oh, she kicks some butt. Lets take a look. I guess privacy is just for humans. You are a human. Its like i have no past. Of course, you have a past and with time youll feel more and more connected to it and to them. Open and close, please. You have damage to internal systems. Maybe the next time you can design me better. A little challenge your way right there. Yeah. Thank you both for joining me. First of all, you can see from that and in this movie your character is almost a maternal figure for scarlett. Shes protective. Shes trying to help her along, you know, the journey of being a weapon and also having those glitches, you know, which is the origin, the memory of the origin so im helping im lying to her, first of all, because theres i have the responsibility of that the new memory i put in her is working throughout the whole, you know, her life but then glitches are coming and its the memory of the origin so its the journey of Scarlett Johanssons character that were following. Batou is the brother. You are her partner in crime. You have a soft spot for her as well. I saw when i saw the movie you had bionic eyes. Im wondering how was that with those eyes you had to put in. Its always difficult as an actor not to use your eyes. I dont know whats its called in english. But its the mirror, the window to the soul. Its very poetic but in the middle of the film i get these prosthetic eyes and that meant i was to be four hours in makeup every single day. It kind of was a little a bummer. Because i feel like if i had a late night out i look like that. I cant see anything. At all. And how was it i mean this is very physical movie as well and how was it working with scarlett . Shes so easy. Shes so professional. She works out before coming on the set. Shes the first one, you know, to really work and the last one to go away. No, she was amazing and very easy, professional. It feels like she was born on set. You know, and she was. Yeah and you have a lot of training, it looks like you had to have weapons training for this role but also you have a little experience of that. Game of thrones, man. Yeah. Give us a everybody is in here going, okay. [ applause ] i dont a lot of pressure to get something out of you. Im not allowed to say anything but people are going to die. People are going to die. Thats all youre going to give me. Yeah. Oh. Thank you so much. That was awesome. And, juliette, 20 years monday you won your academy award. Right. Congratulations to you on that, obviously. Take yourself back. How was that moment for you . I was so shocked. I felt there was a lake at the bottom of my soul and my body so i felt totally serene and i thought Lauren Bacall was going to get it so when i walked towards the stage, i was going to give it to her but because she didnt say, hey, im here then i felt, okay, ill keep it. As you should have. You deserved it. Congrats on that anniversary and ghost in the shell opens nationwide on friday and well be right back, everybody. Good morning america is brought to you by geico. 15 minutes could save you 15 or more on car insurance. Thank you. Well see you tonight on world news tonight. Announcer its live with kelly.
