This morning, a former teammate and friend is in our studio with the first reaction to armstrongs most emotional comments yet. Is he still lying . It is a very, very busy news morning. Including two stories from the world of sports. Lance armstrong finally showing emotional. And the first interview with manti teo. Jere jeremy shaf speaking with teo. A very candid interview. Also this morning, new developments in the racy scandal involving a zuma dance teacher. Well hear from her Business Partner, just days before it goes to court. It rocked that small town in maine. And check out this video. Its a firefighter climbing to rescue a child in a burning wilding. A chunk of snow knocks him off the ladder. Well show you what happened next. It was extraordinary. Were going to start with the breaking news on the harrowing hostage situation in the african desert. This morning, we have more information about an american killed by the islamist terrorists. And others are in danger right now. Brian ross has been covering this from the jump. Hes with us this morning. Reporter good morning, dan. The death toll continues to climb with at least 1 american and 11 other hostages reported to have been killed. The algerian military has twice stormed the natural gas facility. But Authorities Say the situation is still not resolved. And a number of western workers, including americans, apparently remain hostages. The state department has now confirmed that 58yearold fred buttaccio of suburban houston, was killed at some point during the attack and subsequent rescue effort. But another american, mark cobb of corpus christi, texas, is reported to be safe. Cobb is a senior manager at the bp facility. And sent a message to them, im alive. The Al Qaedalinked group that claimed the facility had been planned for some two months. In both assault, the Algerian Army, using tanks and helicopters, found the terrorists were heavily armed and prepared to fight to the death. One official described the aftermath as carnage. Hostages who escaped or were freed, said the terrorists only wanted westerners or americans, and were brutal in the treatment of some. It happened so fast. We were lucky that we are still alive. Reporter another worker said he escaped as the terrorists tried to drive them to another location. And the Algerian Army opened fire on the convoy. American officials urged the algerians to go slow, out of concern for the safety of the hostages. They didnt let the terrorists dig in. They didnt negotiate. They moved quickly. Reporter the attack has led the u. S. And its allies to marshal resources, to track down the alleged mastermind, this man, mokhtar belmokhtar, who has safe haven in mali, 1,000 miles away. French military aircraft were already active here, even before the algerian attack. According to abc news correspondent, bazi kanani in the capital. Reporter theres much relief here in southern mali, now that more International Help is coming in. One of the first targets for the french warplanes that arrived a week ago, was the headquarters of the leader of the terror group involved in the algerian hostage crisis. The u. S. Said it wont send troops into mali. But it is sharing intelligence with france. And by monday, the u. S. Air force will be helping to fly in french troops and equipment. Reporter u. S. Officials say they will work with the french and others to make sure belmokhtar pays a price. Those who would wantonly attack our country and our people, will have no place to hide. Reporter details about exactly what is happening this morning at the facility remains very sketchy. Not only to reporters who are being kept about 20 miles away. But also to government officials in london, washington and paris, who encourage algerians to make the safety of the hostages their first priority. Wonder if theres tensions between the American Government and the algerian military this morning. Brian, thank you very much. We appreciate it. Get information back. Brian, thanks. We turn, now, tonight two of Lance Armstrongs public confession to years of cheating, doping and lying to the whole world about it. Armstrong began to break down when he talked about his family. Abcs Neal Karlinsky has been all over this story from the very beginning and joins us with more. Neal, in many ways, this seemed to be the more compelling of the two interviews. Reporter it certainly was. Good morning, bianna. Over the course of two nights there was plenty of evidence that armstrongs ability to lie is still on display. But there was one moment when the person behind the attitude and the image broke through. Incredible. Unbelievable. Reporter when you peel away all the lies, the cheating, the coverups and bullying, Lance Armstrong is also a father. And thats side of this complicated and deeplyflawed man revealed the betrayal to his family. When this all started, i saw my son defending me and saying, thats not true. What youre saying about my dad is not true. I told luke, i said i said, dont defend me anymore. Reporter it was a painful glimpse into a man who apologized repeatedly for his big lie. And yet, somehow feels that his lifetime sporting ban is unfair. Never mind the fact that he ignored fair play at every turn. I deserve to be punished. Im not sure that i deserve a death penalty. If youre asking me, do i want to compete again . And answer is, hell, yeah. Im a competitor. Its what ive done my whole life. I love to train. I love to race. I love to tow the line. Reporter armstrong told oprah hes now in therapy and that he sees how, in his words, sick his actions sometimes were. This is heavy. And this is messy. And this is not something that i can sit with you and leave and go, okay. Were all good. Reporter and it isnt just some old version of himself. That arrogant twitter photo, boasting of his tour wins, even after he had been stripped, was just two months ago. That was more defiance. More defiance. You know whats scary, i actually thought it was a good idea. Reporter he acknowledged that his exwife, kristen, knew of his cheating. And encouraged not only to stop but to come clean. He never did, until he lost everything, and was backed into a corner. Will you rise again . I dont know. I do not know the outcome here. Reporter so, what now . Well, we know he is sporadically in therapy, he says. Hes in hawaii where he continues to train and play golf. There are reports this morning that a movie deal about his epic fall is now in the works. Quite a story, dan and bianna. Apparently j. J. Abrams looking into making that movie. Thank you, Neal Karlinsky, who has been covering this story for years. With us, now, one of Lance Armstrongs former teammates and friends, tyler hamilton, who himself has admitted doping. He wrote a book about it, called the secret race. Thank you for being here. You saw lance get emotional in that interview. Do you buy it . Its a first step. Its a first step. Hes coming clean. Hes telling the story that he has taken performanceenhancing drugs. Do you think it was genuine emotion that we saw . I think so. Its new for him. Its a new process. I went through the same process on a much smaller scale. You know, its going to get easier for him. I think hes going to open up even much more. You know, i think we saw a lot of the truths. Maybe not the whole truth. Telling his son to stop defending him now. 13yearold son. Was that real emotion . Youve known him for so many years. As a parent, was he telling the truth . The one thing, and i think a lot of his exteammates said yesterday, for me and guys like frankie andreu, weve never seen lance ive never seen him shed a tear in my life, until last night. Shown very little emotion. Before i heard one word on thursday night from him, i could tell he was a broken man. Really, really interesting, that perspective you provide there. He specifically brought you up last night and said you were one of the many people he needs to apologize to. He has attacked you for writing the book. And he said you were greedy and just doing it for the money. Are you ready for that apology . Will you accept it . I dont need an apology from lance. Im in a good place in my life. I moved forward. Im no longer angry at lance. You know, i moved on from that. Id rather he spend the time with his children or with betsy andreau, or emma oreilly. These are the people he destroyed. Theyre still suffering today. I feel lucky and fortunate i moved on from this. Its a tragic story. Im sorry that i was involved in all this. Yeah. Its not nice to see all this. And hes admitted to a lot of things these past two days. But one thing hes adamant about, he came back in 2009, a clean man. Do you buy that . Many people dont. I cant really be the judge of that. The jurys still out on that one. But again, the important thing is hes started this process. Hes opened up. He said all seven tours, he took performanceenhancing drugs. The question is, where does he go from this . He needs to go and name names. He needs to come fully clean and tell travis and usada, where the bodies are buried. He said he should be allowed to compete again. Do you agree . I agree only if he comes 110 clean. Tell all of the names, from day one when he started doping, who provided it, all the way to the end. Tyler, thank you very much. Thank you. That must be some sense of closure for you. Its hard to see lance going through this. I dont like to see anybody suffer like that. A man with Lance Armstrong, up close and personal for many years. Tyler, thank you very your time. Great to see tyler move on with his life, as well. Indeed.

Abcs david kerley is in washington with more. Good morning, david. Reporter bianna and dan, this is my third one. It gets cold every time the president gets ready to take the oath.
