"the times" saying the facts matter. we just reported 3.3 million paid subscription, our most ever and our stock is up nearly 50% this year directly responding to the president. >> the president already up and active on twitter. he seems simply to be doing a running commentary on "fox & friends" and retweeting their stories. >> reporter: it's really something else, george. we've seen this over and over again. this morning, most interesting he retweeted a story on "fox and friends" that seems to be based on a leak of classified information about spy satellites over north korea, u.s. spy satellites, exactly the kind of leaks that the white house has been condemning, but there the president is apparently interested in what's on "fox & friend friends". >> presumably this is the kind of thing he could learn from his own intelligence officials yet he seems to publicize it when he sees it on television. >> reporter: he gets the presidential daily briefing a little later. the first is "fox & friends". >> jon karl, thanks very much. >> quite bizarre. now to that memo rocking the tech world. google firing an engineer behind a document that questions women's roles in the industry.

a traffic merge. >> somebody didn't want her to merge in a lane of traffic. and because of that a young woman is dead today. >> reporter: such a sad story but lucky for this 4-year-old boy, it seems his will not end that way. he survived that shooting and we're told he's in serious condition but expected to recover. >> oh, that is good news. all right, diane, thank you very much. what is going on? >> crazy. >> it is crazy out there. we'll turn to a family searching for answers after their dog died in a cargo hold of a united airlines plane when their flight was delayed on the tarmac for two hours. jim avila has the story. >> reporter: lulu was part of the family, five years old, a cavalier king charles spaniel. her owners say their vet signed off on her health so she was loaded into the cargo section of a united flight from houston to san francisco. the flight was delayed on the ground in houston for two hours according to lulu's family facebook post which reports when we went to pick her up, she was dead. united has a special animal cargo policy and facilities called pet safe that include air conditioned climate controlled holds in the air on board transport vehicles and warehouses on the ground. their website assures pet owners of comfort in any weather conditions and that pets will be the last ones loaded and the first ones off the plane's cargo area. still, according to the department of transportation's statistics, from 2014 through 2016, of the 26 pet deaths during transport, united had nine, more than any other u.s. carrier. the humane society warns that cargo hold travel should always be a last resort and in the summer, middle of the day flights should be avoided and some dogs should not fly at all. >> unfortunately, for lulu and her family, lulu had a -- what we call smooshed in face which made her more susceptible to the extreme heat conditions. >> reporter: the airline says in a statement they are so sorry to learn of lulu's passing. they've offered condolences and assistance to the family and promise a thorough review of the incident. another tip from the humane society if you must bring your dog along and it's too big to fit under the seat, personally tell the pilot or co-pilot that the dog is there or a flight attendant because they can then watch out and be extra vigilant about whether or not it's too hot in the cargo area. george. >> that does make sense. jim, thanks very much. we move on to new developments in that hbo hack. e-mails from one of the company's top executives has been leaked online along with secret

target and it took six months to access the company's database. a rep for hbo says while the investigation is still ongoing, the review to date has not given us reason to believe that our e-mail system as a whole has been compromised. the massive cyberhack began last week. >> it's hard for me to fathom. >> reporter: stealing 1.5 terabytes of data, seven times bigger than the 2014 attack on sony pictures and equivalent to about 500 hours' worth of movies. >> i see quite a lot there. >> reporter: unaired episodes of hbo shows "ballers" and "room 104" have also surfaced on line. they're
