Potentially deadly infection, forcing him to cancel weeks of performances. When will the rocket man return to the stage . Rocket man good morning, america. We hope youre well this tuesday. What a scare for elton john. Yes. Yeah, a big scare. Hes one of the most successful artists in the world. Selling more than 200 million records. And he is recovering. Hes thanking his doctors, as well. Were going to talk more about that ahead. A lot of important stories this morning. That possible Government Shutdown is looming. The money runs out friday at midnight. And ivanka trump is in germany. Her First Official trip overseas representing the u. S. At an International Womens summit. A brandnew poll out this morning that reveals most americans would prefer to keep the Affordable Care act than get a replacement. More details on that in a moment. First, as President Trump closes in on the 100day mark, w gnthis morning that hes willing to put off funding his border wall to avoid a Government Shutdown. That would be big for the president. Our chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl starts us off. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. The president isnt giving up on his border wall but it looks like hes willing to put off the fight over paying for it to another day. Forget the 100day milestone, the biggest challenge facing the president this week may be avoiding a Government Shutdown. The main sticking point, funding for his border wall. The white house calls it a top priority. Democrats say its a nonstarter. Can you, from that podium, guarantee that there will not be a Government Shutdown . I cant guarantee how close can you get to guaranteeing . I think that the work that director mulvaney and others have made in these negotiations have been very positive. They feel confident that that wont happen. So he wont insist his priorities get funded on the border, the wall, increased security . Thats not what i said. Reporter now, signs that the president is willing to give in to avoid a shutdown. According to multiple sources, President Trump told a group of conservative journalists that a private white house reception that he is willing to put off funding for the wall until later this fall. Democratic reaction to the president s reported comments was swift. Senator Chuck Schumer saying in a statement overnight that President Trump was taking the wall off the table in a move he called good for the country. Very, very important and powerful group of people. Reporter on his 95th day in office, President Trump hosted the u. N. Security council in the state dining room. Youre going to be very busy people i suspect over the coming months and years. Reporter a rare white house meeting with the top members of the u. N. , which trump once called a waste of time and money. Now hes urging the group to take on the threat from north korea. North korea is a big world problem. Its a problem we have to finally solve. Reporter with pressing National Security issues and a packed schedule this week, the last thing the white house wants is a Government Shutdown. If talks deadlock this week, i am told they will seek a temporary extension to keep the government from shutting down precisely on the president s 100th day in office. He doesnt want to be the first president to have that one. One of the activities hes trying this week, releasing some details of his new tax plan. Reports the president wants a Corporate Tax cut deeper than House Republicans have called for. Thats going to complicate things. You get something that deep, you need democrats. They dont seem willing to go along. Reporter that is for sure, george. Im told this tax plan will reduce the rate from 35 all the way down to 15 . That is a far steeper cut than republicans have been talking about on capitol hill and no way democrats would go along with and the interesting thing is what would the impact be on the deficit . The president has promised to reduce the deficit. Hard to do that while cutting taxes that much. Hard to see how you could do it. Thank you, jon. Republicans are trying to make another push on health care, promising to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act. As we mentioned, our new abc News Washington post poll says most americans support keeping it. Our congressional correspondent, mary bruce, has details for us, joins us from capitol hill. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. Republicans this morning are scrambling to bring their Health Reform bill back to life. Theyre working on a compromise that may allow states to opt out of some of the most popular obamacare provisions. Theyre hoping that they can finally fulfill that signature pledge to scrap obamacare. Our latest abc News Washington post poll shows that may not be what the majority of americans want. Just 37 say obamacare should be repealed and replaced. Instead, 61 say keep it and fix it. And in the meantime, President Trump has suggested that if republicans cant reach a deal, they should allow obamacare to fail. But the majority of americans, 79 , say instead the president should try to make the current law work as much as possible. Mary, what do our polls say about what specifically should and should not change . Reporter americans are sending a clear message about the most popular provisions. They say 70 of americans even a majority of republicans say coverage for preexisting conditions should be mandatory nationwide, not left up to the states. Robin . All right, mary, thank you. Negotiations continue. We move on to the rising tensions in north korea. Livefire drills in the country this morning as the country marked the 85th anniversary of its military. And President Trump is preparing to brief congress on his plans to confront the nuclear threat. Chief Global Affairs anchor Martha Raddatz here with all that. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, george. 300 to 400 artillery pieces in this livefire demonstration. Really one of the biggest they have ever had in north korea. Clearly trying to send a strong message. Some of the artillery pieces could reach seoul. Thats the real threat right now. What they didnt do today is have another nuclear test. Reporter they didnt but a nuclear test is still a very strong possibility. The u. S. Has been keeping an eye on this for a very long time. So that really still could, and i know we have said this several times, that still could happen any time. What they would like to do is marry up a longrange missile, an icbm with one of those nuclear bombs. Thats the threat. The u. S. Continuing the military position in the region. Reporter yes. There is a u. S. Submarine, a guided missile submarine parked in south korea right now. That sends a strong message. All you have to do is look at those pictures. Its kind of a make good because we were sending the carl vinson. Were still sending the carl vinson battle group. Its not there yet. Just look at those pictures of that submarine, pretty unusual sight. The entire senate called to the white house tomorrow to bring them up to speed tomorrow on all this. Usually, those meetings happen on capitol hill. Reporter they do. Its not unusual for a president to brief. Its usually on capitol hill. I do think this is unusual. Its all about the optics. You have the senators coming to the white house. Another strong message. Martha raddatz, thanks very much. This morning, all eyes are also on the first daughter. Ivanka trump, as she makes her first big trip overseas since the inauguration. Attending a summit on equality and the empowerment of women with the german chancellor. Abcs linzie janis is in berlin. Good morning, linzie. Reporter good morning, robin. This is ivanka trumps First Official foreign trip as first daughter and as assistant to the president. The german leader inviting her to participate in the w20. A summit aimed at promoting the role of women in the global economy. Ivanka talked about her father. She said she was proud of his advocacy for women. She was referring specifically to a Campaign Proposal for paid family leave. At that point the crowd tiffed at her. She was aware of the media criticism but said from her personal experience and from the experience of those who have worked for her father, he does believe in gender quality. She was very happy to be here and bringing back the knowledge and information that she learned here to her father. The president seems conflicted about how important the 100 days is. On the one hand hes calling it ridiculous but on the other hand you see this flurry of activities. Capping your 100 days with a shutdown when republicans have control of government. When we had shutdowns in the past. Republican congress. To have this happen with republicans owning washington would be unprecedented in every way. That said, last night he seemed to back off one of the sticking points. Insisting adding money for the border wall in this resolution. That could stop this self appointed disaster from occur. The president seem conflicted about how much this 100 days matters. Hes calling it ridiculous and you see this flurry of activity all week long. Hes trying to lower expectations. He cant get out of two precedents. First of all, history. This is the standard we have used for every president since fdr. Second, he, himself, played up the 100 days on the campaign. He said it was a big marker. Hes down playing expectations because he doesnt have a significant record. He wants to get as many wins on the board as he can. He put out the contract. Ten pieces of legislation. Hes only introduced one, health care. And it went down. We talked to martha about the big meeting with the senators tomorrow on north korea. Showmanship . A lot of showmanship. This is partly how theyre trying to deal with foreign policy. Particularly with north korea. Theres a lot of strong action being taken to send clear messages and i think you got to give trump and his Leadership Team credit on this one. They have not taken a handsoff approach to north korea. They believe a more proactive approach could actually stop the proliferation which occurred. The nightmare scenario, as martha said, is icbms with nukes that could reach the united states. Taking a proactive approach. A lot of starm arm gestures, they believe might be able to contain north korea and engage china. He was warned by president obama this was the number one threat that trump would face. We saw president obama back on the stage yesterday for the First Time Since he left the white house. One word that did not cross his lips, trump. Very deliberate. Youre walking a fine line. A 55yearold, very popular expresident getting back in the public eye. Wanting to focus on civic messages and stay out of the gutter of politics. Its a nowin for the expresident to get into an fight with the current occupant of the office. He thinks that will help trump. Thats right. Because it rallies trumps base and reignites that fight trump wants to prosecute. President obama wants to send a more civic message of engagement and unity. Thanks very much. A change that could be coming to flights headed here from europe. A blockbuster new report says the u. S. May expand the Electronics Ban to other countries. Restricting smartphones in the cabins of planes. Abcs Pierre Thomas has the new details for us. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning. Homeland Security Officials are considering whether those travel restrictions on Electronic Devices bigger than cell phones should be expanded to some airports in europe, including london. This would increase the number of airports beyond the ten located in middle eastern countries. No final decision has been made. Sources tell us that this threat to commercial airplanes is real and ongoing. We first reported this ban is the result of isis developing creative bombs that can fit inside laptops, ipads, or other electronics. Homeland security secretary john kelly in a recent hearing called those concerns, quote, a real threat, robin. If the threats originate in the middle east, why may this ban be expanded to europe . Reporter the threat is isisbased. Based on what we know, isis has sympathizers throughout the world. Theres real concern that these bombmaking designs are being spread across the globe. Must keep that in mind. Pierre, thank you. Michael . Thank you, robin. Now the new details about how the former tennessee teacher charged with kidnapping a 15yearold student managed to escape authorities for a month. He appeared in court on monday. Abcs eva pilgrim has more from nashville, tennessee. Good morning, eva. Reporter michael, tad cummins is facing some serious charges. This morning, authorities allege he admitted that he took off because he knew he was under investigation for having an inappropriate relationship with his former student. This morning, new details on how that tennessee teacher allegedly hid from the law after taking his 15yearold former student on a crosscountry journey. He will face a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years and quite possibly longer. Reporter prosecutors telling a judge he planned and executed an audacious scheme, taking Elizabeth Thomas through nine states before being captured last week in california. To hide from authorities during the 39 days on the run, prosecutors claim cummins swapped license plates, disabled his cars gps, used back roads, changed his appearance of his suv. Made only cash purchases. Court documents state the original plan was to take the victim south of the border to mexico and beyond.

All week long, were taking a look at President Trumps key Campaign Promises as he hits the 100day mark. Today, jobs and economy. Trump promised Rebecca Jarvis is here with a progress report. Good morning. Good morning. As a candidate, President Trump campaigned on a message of putting america first. Among the key promises, 25 million new jobs, tearing up what he deemed as anticompetitive trade policies. And taking on companies sending jobs overseas. I will be the greatest jobs president that god ever created. I tell you that. Reporter from the very beginning, he cast himself as the businessman in chief. My plan for the economy can be summed up in three very beautiful words. Jobs, jobs, jobs. [ cheers and applause ] reporter on the campaign trail, promising to create those 25 million new jobs over the next decade, which would be the most created under any u. S. President ever. And rip up trade deals. He said were putting americans out of work. Nafta, signed by her husband, is perhaps the greatest disaster trade deal in the history of the world. Reporter even before being sworn in, trump zeroing in on this carrier plant in indianapolis, claiming credit for saving 1100 jobs from going to mexico. Hes not in office yet. Hes cutting deals and saving jobs. Thats huge. Reporter that victory not without controversy. The Company Later conceding only 800 jobs were ever at risk of heading south. In his first week in office, the president making good on that promise to pull out of a major trade deal. The transpacific partnership. Great thing for the american worker, what we just did. Reporter the markets also initially climbing with investors cheering on the prospect of lower taxes and fewer regulations. The dow rising above 21,000 for the First Time Ever in march. The socalled trump bump. But stocks now back below that benchmark. Hype is morphing into gripe. Investors are saying, gee, maybe the president wont be able to get a lot of things done. Reporter still, the average 401 k has gained over 5,000 since inauguration day. The economy adding 317,000 new jobs since february. But last month, hiring slowing dramatically. Just 98,000 jobs added in march. Only half of what was expected. If President Trump is going to deliver on his promise to create 25 million jobs, our economy has to add an average of 208,000 jobs every month for the next ten years. As for the other trade deals, overnight, the Trump Administration announcing plans to impose a 20 tariff on canadian softwood lumber. Now, hes instead amending it. And a tough sign with canada. Stand by. Were going to talk to Bill Cunningham of wlw radio in cincinnati. It broadcasts in the heart of trump country. Across ohio, kentucky and indiana. One of the things we saw in our poll, overall, americans like the president using the bully pulpit to get the businesses to keep jobs here in the united states. I would imagine in indiana, which you broadcast to, those jobs that werent saved, people dont blame him . Of course not, george. Look at it this way. For the first time, perhaps, in American History think about an american president who says hire american, buy american. Americans deal for the pipelines. The midwest, ohio, indiana, kentucky, which, as you know, is the heart that beats the American Economy is beginning to stretch, were beginning to yawn. Ready to get to work. Theres an animal sense that america is awakening. We can get 3 to 4 gdp. If we do that, all things are possible. That is a high, high bar. It would have to be double what were doing essentially right now as far as our growth is concerned. It is also in a lot of perspectives, if you talk to corporate america, really contingent on an overhaul of the tax code and a regulatory overhaul. Thats why the market has been rising ove what we have seen with the market, investors cheering on those policies. Now, a number of them saying, okay, lets get them done. Is that a possibility . What more do Trump Supporters want to see on the economy from President Trump right now . Well, you know, the democrats are the obstructionists. The democrats want nothing done because their base wants nothing done. Hes fighting more now with the republicans than democrats. Its like a redo of the election when you couldnt get Wisconsin Republicans or Ohio Republicans to support trump. Trumps having more difficulty not with the american worker, who wants to get to work. Hes having more difficulty with paul ryan and the republicans. George, i bet you a good order of baklava, by the end of the year, were going to have a tax bill. Well have immigration reform. George, it is morning in america. And were ready to take off. Let the republicans get the heck out of our way trump is marching, man, trump is marching im not sure im going to take that bet. I might. Let me push you on that a little bit. The president cant get the Republican Party behind him, will your listeners blame him, the republicans, or both . Let me ask you this. If you were an obama supporter for the past eight years during this Economic Disaster of 50 Million People on food stamps. 9 million americans not in the workforce. Tuition skyrocketing. Illegals getting instate tuition. If you were an obama supporter, did you blame obama or the republicans . At this point, i think trump is in the position to middle. The republicans and the democrats. We know at the end of the day, primaries will come against republicans next year if they dont toe the trump line. I say God Bless America and god bless donald trump. View from trump country. You can follow our promise tracker. On abcnews. Com. Michael. Coming up, how a fitbit could help track a murder case.

First up, could a fitbit tracker be the key to solving a murder case . A connecticut man has now been charged in the shooting death of his wife. After police say they found data on her fitness device contradicting her husbands story that she was killed by an intruder. Tell us. Its all about the timeline. He says basically, he comes home around 9 05, a guy, fully in camouflage with a blowtorch attacks him and her in the house. Theyre able to piece together, using evidence from the alarm system, from when she posted things on facebook. From text messages. And from the fitbit, to try to prove that his timeline is not true and she was moving around after 10 00 a. M. And so, that would disprove his claim that he came home at a particular time and thats critical in the context of the case. The accuracy of the fitness trackers has been challenged in the past. It will be tough to admit it into evidence. Theyve been admitted in the past. In this case i think they have got a stronger argument because it fits so well with the timing of the alarm. They believe they can tell you exactly what time she drove to the gym. What time she comes back into her house. It fits with the timing of the alarm system. When shes sitting in the car and therefore, not moving. And therefore, the fitbit evidence becomes that much more reliable. You think well see more cases like this . Absolutely. More things like fitbit. Other evidence. Keep in mind, also some old school evidence. Like married guys girlfriend is pregnant. Oh. Im just saying. There is also some old school evidence in addition to all of this technological evidence, as well. But, i think youre going to see a lot more cases involving technology and using this to bring in cases like this. C. S. I. You dropped the mike on that one. Everybody over here going, huh . We didnt know that. Now to elton john. He spoke up moments ago. About that mystery illness, sending this tweet. Saying hes looking forward to getting back on tour after being hospitalized by a harmful and unusual infection he contracted. Touring in south america. Hes out of the hospital and making a full recovery but this is a bacterial infection. What are the key medical issues . The medical detective work. Anytime someone has been traveling and they come home with an infection, you want to ask, is this localized to one part of the body or is it widespread, lets say, throughout the blood . How did it start . On a cut of the skin or was the agent ingested or inhaled . Was it bacteria . If so, what type . Because that dictates what type of antibiotic is given and we have to remember, there can be infections caused by viruses, parasites. Lastly, signs of sepsis or septic shock . Meaning throughout the bloodstream, our organ systems. Like the heart, liver, kidneys involved. Any clue about traveling to south america . I think that is the most important part of the story. Anytime someone is traveling, in the country, overseas, that is the critical piece of information that has to be communicated to a doctor if they get sick. Some of these can present days to weeks after returning from travel. Some months to years. That is the months to years . Absolutely. You have to keep travel history in mind when you have a sick patient. He says hes feeling better, will be back on tour. Whats your Favorite Song . Mona lisas and mad hatters. Mine rhymes with witch.

The shift comes as we learned about the tax cut the president is about to propose. Jonathan karl has more. Good morning. Reporter good morning, amy. The president plans to release his tax plan tomorrow. Im told that the centerpiece of this plan will be a steep cut in Corporate Taxes. Slashing the rate that corporations pay all the way from 35 to 15 . A steeper cut than Congressional Republicans have proposed. Its far from clear how he can do that and also keep his plan to cut the deficit. As for the showdown over funding for the wall, the president told conservative journalists last night hes willing to put off that fight to keep the government open. Coming back to congress in september. Amy . All right, jon karl, thanks for that. Ivanka trump is in berlin on her First Official trip as part of the trump white house.

Well, now, a los angeles auction house is offering this piece of Hollywood History up for sale. It will be sold and his address book with the digits of jack nicholson, barbra streisand, bash bra bash bra walters, Carl Bernsteins direct line at the post.

A lot of these people are very much alive, perhaps have the same phone number. Im wondering how theyre feeling about the news. Theyll be changing their numbers. Whats up . Did you have the one that you could spin it like that . Take the card out. Pop it back in. I think 7500 seems low. Me, too. I was thinking 75,000.

If you find a penny on the ground, find a penny, pick it up, all the day youll have good luck. I only pick up the headsup ones. I didnt know that. George is picking up any penny. Its karma. I believe. That explains it. So, listen, if you find this particular penny that were going to show you, youre going to have really good luck. According to coin tracker, theres a penny in circulation that is worth 85,000. 1943, its made of copper. Which was strictly regulated to support the war effort. Pennies were changed to stainless steel at the time. Any copper penny made that year was accidentally made. Making it incredibly rare. Now worth some serious coin, if you will. In this case, a penny saved could be 85,000 pennies earned. Thats what it looks like. The shot on the front. Keep your eyes opened.

Thats the closest we can get to the name of the book. Even with that name. It was inspired by your time on dancing with the stars. A bit, yes. But also, i would sit there and complain a lot because of the way the media and my Public Perception was. I knew it wasnt me. But, you have no right to complain if youre not going to do anything about it. Yeah. So its my opportunity to show people who i really am. Then they can make up their minds. If they dont like me, thats cool. If they do, wonderful. Its so honest. Its 100 truth. Its hard not to like you. You have always come from a place of truth. That anyone who has seen you can say, i like her because i dont feel like shes giving me anything that is not truly who she is. We watched you grow up on your family show the osbournes. I was a big, big osbournes fan. You said this early fame led you to a world of, like, addiction. Mmhmm. I was already doing drugs before the show. I cant just blame it on that. It was hollywood in general. The one misconception about me and my drug use was that i was never a party girl. I was miserable the entire time. I would just do anything not to feel what it felt like to be me. I wanted to be anyone but myself. And i wasted so much time trying to be other people. It just when im good enough just me. And thats okay. I dont have to be the prettiest, the smartest, the funniest. The best. I dont want to be. I just want to be me. Its one of the biggest battles you will ever face in life. Its a great lesson to anybody out there who is listening and hearing that. Its amazing. So many emotions. You talk about your mothers battle with cancer. Your fathers accident. How do your parents feel about what you have written . Its funny. I gave the book to my mum before i submitted to it the publisher. 100 people can be in a room, one thing can happen, you have 100 different stories. This is how i see things. I dont want to hurt anyone. I want to protect my nieces. I gave it to them to read. My dad is the only one who tried to reedit his letter to make himself sound worse. He said, i think you should write this. I said, im not writing that, youre my best friend. Im not writing that. No. You had lyme disease. It took ten years to diagnose. I had a seizure at work. It was in the press and everything. They originally diagnosed me with epilepsy. Then they thought i had m. S. I knew it wasnt that. I started to actually do the one thing doctors tell you not to do and that is to go online and look it up. Because then youll diagnose yourself with everything. Exactly. And it just all looked like roads pointed to lyme disease. I found a doctor through my mom. I went to her with this huge bag of pills they had me on. With my past, my mum was a bit shocked. Im like, i cant take these anymore. I dont want to be like this. So she helped me find this doctor. I went to frankfurt, germany. I got cured. It sickens me that thats not available to everyone. And you have to be considered lucky or privileged to get that sort of treatment and i want to make sure. I on will do anything i can to make sure that that treatment is available in the country. You know, theres also a chapter called dear bullies. And you have young nieces. You just spoke about. What is your message to them about bullies . When people are mean to you, its because they see things in themselves. They see things in you that they dont like about themselves or that they wish they had. And, for me, my mum taught me to go into school and tell them that my dad was going to come in and bite their heads off. It didnt work. My dad said, im going to give you once more chance. If you bully me one more time, im going to the principal. Because i dont want to do this with you anymore and youre hurting my feelings. If youre talking truth and feelings, its so powering. People dont know what to do. Because they expect you the fight back. They want you to fight back. And you wrote you personalized this book to me. To michael, i have a secret to tell you. You are my moms celebrity crush. Sharon, how are you . Hi, mama. Shes going to be so mad at me. I had to. Kellys book, there is no bleeping secret. Its out no. Go get it. A lot of lessons for a lot of people. Coming up, one of the most shocking dancing eliminations yet. Well be right back. [ cheers and applause ] as after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. What about the people i care about . Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Happiness is powerful flea and tick protection from nexgard.
