new poll shows that six out of ten americans are uneasy about president trump's ability to handle north korea. our chief global affairs anchor martha raddatz starts us off. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the trump administration has always said a military option with north korea remains on the table but as a last resort. but these words from president trump did not make it sound that way. after the president, the dramatic escalation. >> north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury. >> reporter: and one u.s. territory just over 2,000 miles away from north korea in the crosshairs. overnight, the small pacific island of guam home to crucial american military bases and more than 7,000 u.s. forces on alert after north korea said in a statement its leaders are seriously considering a plan to target the territory with missiles. >> an attack or threat on guam is a threat or attack on the united states. >> reporter: this after that stunning warning from president trump who north korean leader kim jong-un yesterday. >> he has been very threatening beyond a normal statement and as i said, they will be met with fire, fury and, frankly, power, the likes of which this world has never seen before. >> reporter: an overt military threat, all the more alarming given the latest extraordinary intelligence assessments of north korea's nuclear capabilities. u.s. analysts now believe the country can produce miniature nuclear warheads like the one kim jong-un posed next to last march claiming then it was, indeed, a miniature nuke. those warheads able to fit inside icbm missiles that kim launched twice last month, the last traveling farther than ever before. this morning some political the president's own party concerned that the commander in chief's fiery warnings could further incite the already volatile north korean leader. >> you got to be sure that you can do what you say you're going to do. the great leaders that i have seen, they don't threaten unless they're ready to act. >> reporter: and, of course, this war of words is all the more worrisome given that intelligence report on the north's capable, george. >> martha, you mentioned the miniaturization of the nuclear warheads. that's not the only alarming news in there. >> reporter: it isn't. intelligence has estimated from a couple to several dozen nuclear weapons in north korea but this latest report puts the number at 60, the highest we have ever heard and the most definitive, george. >> their program accelerating so quickly, martha raddatz, thanks very much. >> thank you, george. we'll talk more about it. joining us is our contributor retired colonel steve ganyard. so tell us what is the possible threat to the u.s. >> well, robin, what happened yesterday was the u.s. intelligence committee -- community finally said we think they can miniaturize one of these weapons to put on a rocket that will get all the way to the united states. so take a look at this video here. this is the evolution of how long these missiles and how far they've been able to reach over time. this is why the north korean threat has become so much more serious because they've finally developed those kinds of weapons that can reach all the way to the continental united states. some people even believe that he can reach somewhere out here maybe as far as the east coast of the united states. >> what are america's options here? >> well, robin, we have what's called a ground-based interceptor and that is a ballistic missile system that is able to -- is able to reach up like a rocket and be able to get into space and intercept these north korean missiles as they come in to -- towards the united states so the whole idea is we have this developing system. it's a technological marvel but only at a 50% rate of success so we need to protect the continental united states. >> steve, you have served in the state department so you know about the diplomatic side of things and what is your take on the words, the language that president trump is using with this? >> robin, this is really the first kind of fiery rhetoric we've seen out of a u.s. president since really harry truman and so the president has made the decision to make a direct video appeal to kim jong-un to make him understand what the u.s.' response will be. the question is does this ramp up, does it continue to ramp up or do things begin to calm down? the next few days will be critical. >> steve, thank you. robin, thanks. steve mentioned this was the rhetoric harry truman used after dropping the atomic bomb on hiroshima. we will talk about it more with cecilia vega right here. such a bracing moment to see the president hugging himself as he said these words but parts of the statement tightly scripted. >> very much so and this was a question that was prompt. this was an answer promised by a question by a reporter. he was there to talk about opioid addiction and was asked this question at the end of that. look, i am told this was very much a strategic answer by people in the white house, that the president knew if he was asked about this, that he would have this answer ready to go and if you watch that tape of the president, it seems as though during parts of it he looks down and -- seems to be reading a little bit. this -- we've seen ramped up rhetoric from the president. >> the president already set out a red line in january where he said he will not -- north korea will not be able to create a ballistic missile capable of reaching the united states and we heard steve ganyard say they have done that and then he said it wouldn't happen and particularly the use of the word threat yesterday drawing this response from the president because, of course, the north koreans came out within hours with a new threat. >> and drawing criticism from people within his own party. john mccain, you just heard martha talk about it, saying you have to back this up if you use language like that. you and i both know the one thing that is consistent with them is they say that the president is not going to message what his military actions will be. but we do know that his national security adviser h.r. mcmaster said the president had been briefed on military options in north korea. we know that this is something he's been following closely. this seems to be a big shift in rhetoric, though, and in tone coming out of this white house on this topic. >> they say many types nothing is off the table. let's switch topics. the special counsel robert mueller reported in "usa today" that there has been some side communication between the president's team and the special counsel. >> essentially what we're told, what this story said was that the president's legal team had passed on messages from the president sort of niceties expressing appreciation for the job that they're doing. we're told by people in that circle that the report seems to be a little bit overblown, that this is nothing more than per fup perfunctory conversation. we're told no direct communications between the president and mueller, but this report has raised a lot of eyebrows. >> has been a gulf between the president and his legal team and seen his lawyers say nice things about robert mueller and say they want to cooperate with robert mueller but the president complaining a lot about what he says are the special counsel's conflicts. >> calling this a witch-under. not backing down. kellyanne conway told you that this weekend. the legal team says we are willing to cooperate. we've heard from others in the president's circle called on to possibly testify saying they will cooperate if asked to do so. the president himself, one thing on this, he is firm, he is calling this a witch-hunt and not backing down from it. >> going to move on to the other major breaking news. a driver plowing into soldiers in paris. injuring at least six. the search is on right now for the suspect. abc's james longman has the latest from london. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, robin. that counterterrorism operation and a manhunt are under way this morning. paris on high alert after yet another attack on security forces. a man is this morning on the run from police after ramming a car into a group of soldiers in paris. a dark colored bmw was seen waiting near an army bar racks in a northwestern suburb of the french capital. it struck just before 8:00 a.m. local slamming into six soldiers two of whom we understand have serious injuries although none is life-threatening and the mayor confirming a deliberate attack although no motive established. ment soldiers leaving their post to begin a new shift as part of "operation sentinelle" to guard major sites in paris because france has been in a state of emergency since the charlie hebdo attacks of 2015. this is the sixth attack on french police and the military this year. the hunt is now on for the man and his vehicle. the u.s. embassy in paris tweeting a warning to u.s. citizens to avoid the area. using a vehicle as a wind will remind people of other attacks across europe and authorities are scouring video surveillance of the area as they try to track down that car. robin. >> hopefully they will soon. james, thank you. george. the killer of a rookie police officer during a traffic stop in missouri sunday has been captured. ian mccarthy was captured after being spotted walking down a nearby highway charged in the murder of officer gary michael who pulled him over. police called it a cowardly attack. >> we turn to the tropical storm franklin on the verge of becoming a hurricane moving toward mainland mexico. rob is in for ginger tracking its path. good morning, rob. >> good morning, robin. now in the gulf of mexico strengthening but this is what it did yesterday across the yucatan peninsula, puerto morelos and a time lapse out of cancun showing the outer bans getting into that resort area. winds approaching hurricane strength, likely to become our first hurricane of the atlantic season. the waters are 90 degrees so it should strengthen easily getting in between veracruise and tampico. also some flooding rains across the south and u.s. we'll talk more about that in a few minutes. >> thank you, rob. also this morning, people are gearing up for the total solar eclipse. now just 12 days away. around 12 million americans are in its path stretching 70 miles wide and 3,000 miles long from oregon to south carolina. t.j. holmes is here with how states are preparing for the power surge. good morning, teej. >> more and more americans are getting their electricity from solar power. what happens when the sun goes away? regulators are working pretty hard to make sure your lights don't go out when the light goes out. small towns are turning into boom towns as millions flock to rural america to catch a glimpse of the rare solar eclipse. >> i'm really excited about it. >> reporter: when the skies darken across the united states, electric companies will face a massive challenge. how to avoid power disruptions and a post-eclipse surge that could cripple the nation. grid operators are urgently transporting energy across the country to propose for the temporary shortfall in solar depleted regions. for several minutes at a time between the hours of 11:35 and 2:35 eastern time the moon will totally obscure the sun in 14 states. this will strain solar production similar to the effect of shutting down 15 power plants all at once. in california where nearly 5 million homes are supplied with solar power officials are urging residents to unplug and conserve energy use saying, quote, let's give our hard working sun a break. north carolina right in the prime path of the eclipse ranks number two in the country for solar power. >> we want to make sure we have our power plants in reserve that can take up the slack when the eclipse is happening but also be able to pull them back when that solar starts to operate again. >> reporter: and get this, another issue has to do with cell phone usage because some of these rural towns, your population is 6,000. it will grow to 150,000 people coming to check it out. your cell phones won't work so they're bringing in cell phone towers and everybody will try to send out a picture and you won't be able to get those messages. >> also little league world series is going on at this time. they'll play through it. >> their solution, turn the lights on. >> really. >> they're going to play through it. hit a switch. it won't be a full eclipse where they are, pretty significant coverage of the sun but they're just going to turn the lights on and you won't miss a pitch. we're going to play ball, yes. >> thank you, man. all right, michael. this morning we're also celebrating the life of glen campbell. yes, he was a legend. he passed away tuesday at the age of 81. he was known as a rhinestone cowboy and one of the biggest napes in show business. his daughter ashley posting a touching tribute saying she's heartbroken. i owe him everything i am and

>> that's a plane i'm not on. that's a plane without a passenger in my opinion. but new research said they could be the future of air travel with huge savings for the airline area and maybe passengers as well but major questions and nick watt is at air hollywood. yes, there are questions. in l.a. with details, nick, tell us about this new research. what's going on with this? >> reporter: well, first of all, let's see what this will look like. we're talking no people in the cockpit of a plane, no fancy epaulets, no pilots, pilotless. ubs did this research and they say it could save the industry $35 billion a year. so there is real incentive to try and make this happen to save some cash, guys. >> i'm still just trying to let it all set in here. so you're saying there's -- how can -- how can that be, nick? i mean, how realistic is this? >> it's pretty realistic. one boeing boss recently said that the building blocks as he put it are already there. this could happen -- don't forget autopilot has been in some form or another for 100s not like the "airplane" movie autopilot but ubs says this could happen technically feasible by 2025. >> but yet autopilot but you still have a pilot there. >> somebody is taking over to take off and land. in the air is fine. put it on autopilot but the question is we know what the industry is thinking about this but what are the passengers thinking about this? what is the response? >> reporter: yeah, well, michael, that's not so rosie. people are a bit like you, 54% of people polled said they would be reluctant to get into a pilotless plane. only 17% said they would be gung ho and most of the people keen on this are younger people but pilots union, pilots alliance, they are unsurprisingly say it's a terrible idea and nothing can replace pilots or crew in terms of spotting a problem before it happens, dealing with those kind of issues and keeping people safe. they say terrible idea. >> all of those things. >> nick, would you get on a pilotless plane? >> michael, i would get on a pilotless plane. i would rather get on a pilotless plane than a driverless car. there's less to crash into up there and if it does make the tickets cheaper, i'm in. whatever. >> robin. >> no. >> 2-1. i'm not getting on it either, man. >> good for you, nick. good for you. >> you're alone. >> uh-huh. coming up a big health alert about a rise in a certain type of cancer among young adults and dr. ashton has that. the booted bachelor peter kraus is also here after that shocking finale and we are so excited that kesha is performing live for us this morning on "gma." ♪ praying i hope your soul is changing ♪ people would stare. psoriasis does that. it was tough getting out there on stage. i wanted to be clear. i wanted it to last. so i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. and keeps on working. now?

and the other an alert about the dangers of sugar and so our senior medical contributor dr. jennifer ashton is going to weigh in on both. so let's start with this about colon cancer. >> big study in "the journal of the american medical association" found that the news is not good for colon cancer rectal cancer, the rates are up in young people under the age of 50 and the death rates are up in that age group and there are racial differences as well. there's a higher death rate among whites. good news, declining death rates among african-americans, not clear why. >> what do you think is going on here? >> well, i mean i think when you look at it, there's -- there are a lot of theories. is it diet, is it obesity, is it the environment or genetics. >> it's unclear. the important things to know, focus on symptom, screening and research. symptom, people need to understand the big symptoms, bleeding, pain, change no your bowl habits. in terms of screening, 50 and over to get screened and if you have a family history and research, i just got off the phone with a doctor from memorial sloan-kettering. the group there aggressively working on why this is happening. we don't know if it's dietary but working on causes and treatments. >> you bring up dietary. diet and that's why we'll talk about this next headline. you're saying if we just cut out one soda a day. >> well, here's the thing we know a third of the american population is obese. we are the heaviest nation in the world and a lot of it comes from our beverages so if you're drinking one 20-ounce soda a day, that is the equivalent, robin, help me with the big reveal here. >> i don't want to -- no way. >> in a year. this is what it adds up to, 119 cups of sugar in a year. that is the equivalent of 52 pounds. this is a big problem. >> so what does all this sugar do to our bodies? >> nothing good. the good news is our cells do need glucose and sugar to run on but too much of it, inflammat n inflammation, something called ox dative stress and affects the blood vessels, every organ system from the brain to the heart to the kidneys, big problems. >> there's some alternatives here. >> so this is a swap kind of system and addicted literally to sugary beverages so you can't always go cold turkey. if you make these swap, substitute one soda a day for 16 ounces of coffee, save 9 1/2 pounds a year. if you substitute a sports drink you can save about 6 pounds and then, you know, the best just straight water, you can save 14 pounds in a year so we're battling the bulge. this is important. don't drink

princess, a child at play. >> you would be wrong to think of diana as a saintly child. she was quite naughty. never with malice, just sort of pushing the boundaries. >> reporter: she pushed those boundaries as princess too before he life was cut short at 36 in a paris car accident. diana's driver recalled escorting her body home. >> come into a seat where you can't move with people, but as we came out of the airport and turned left which is the a-40 int inter-london, no cars, people. people upon people upon people. all the way in, must have been probably 4 for 5 miles. >> reporter: two decades after her death her memory lives on through the sons she adored and the grandchildren she never met. >> one of the great tragedies, of course, is that diana would have been the best grandmother ever. i love the fact that there's such veneration among her immediate family for what she was and what she meant and i think that's fantastic. >> boy, jess, so special to see those home movies. >> right. there's a lot of footage of diana, especially as a young girl that we've never seen before. photo, a lot of people like charles spencer, her brother, who have not spoken a lot over the years and just give tremendous insight into who this woman was. >> what surprised you the most. >> it surprised me to know, one, how much she loved prince charles. you know, it's fascinating she was a wide-eyed romantic and when she married the prince, she really thought that was going to be forever. he had very different ideas about marriage. >> that anger we see later real heartbreak. >> real heartbreak but also what you learn in this documentary is that she was really strong and really formidable from a very, very young age. much stronger than the blushing bride that we sort of saw in the beginning of the marriage. >> even those first pictures of her, that same mischievous look in her eyes. >> she was very smart and had she i'm sure decided to become an actress she would have been a great actress because every emotion she ever had plays out right there on her face and this documentary plays out over four hours and you see the changes in her particularly in the way she reels to the media and the way she relates to prince charles and this sort of fearsome righteous anger she had. it was all right there on the fast. >> 20 years after her death he still captures our attention. >> she does. this was a fairy tale that became a soap opera that became a tragedy. it's one of the most compelling human lives ever lived and it's told from the point of view of people who knew her, her brother, people who worked for her, really close friends that were there, eyewitnesses for, you know, the marriage and the dissolution of the marriage and in the way she sort of pulled herself up and really became a voice for the disenfranchised of the world and really set the bar for the way that celebrities should use fame. a tremendous impact. >> very powerful story. jess, thanks for bringing it to us. you can see part one tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern. part two tomorrow night. >> george what a beautiful morning we have. we have people from texas pennsylvania new york city madison wisconsin and they all have roses for some reason. take a look at this video out of chicago. this jordan who turns one. he's doing some vacuuming on a roomba. that's a great check of what's

and it's great to have you here, my friend. >> pleasure to be here. >> thank you for joining us this morning. during the live show, the other day, you were crying backstage before you came out and had a chance to talk to rachel. so what was going through your mind at that moment? >> so i hadn't seen that segment since i actually was the myself. it was first time being back in those emotions and it was hard. i knew i was watching this woman be hurt and i was watching myself be hurt and i was going to have to face herce then so i a lot of emotion. >> after you faced her live in front of everybody at home watching do you feel like you left with closure? >> i did. i totally did. rachel and i had a conversation on stage and i think, you know, she's in a very happy place. i'm getting to a happy place and we left on good terms, i think it was okay. >> the one thing that stood out is the conversation you had with rachel earlier in the season. >> yep. >> where you told her go find someone to have a mediocre life it was an amazing statement. were you surprised by her reaction to your apology. you did step up and apologize for that. >> first off that was stupid of me to say. 50s in the heat of the moment. i was very emotional and i shouldn't have said it and i was very apologetic for it and understandably so she took offense to it and however she reacted i had to take it and it is what it is at this point. >> and the other day you told chris that you had so much more to say to rachel and you didn't get a chance to say it but what would you have said. >> first time in the breakup where after the breakup there was no conversation. it was cold turkey right then and there. i asked if i could reach back out to her the next day to said my piece, i'm sorry, i wish there was something more i could have done and i wasn't given that opportunity and so there were still things that i felt like i had to get off my chest and couldn't. >> and she is engaged to bryan now. >> yep. >> and do you think that she became engaged to bryan because you said, hey, i'm not ready to propose to you right now even though i still want to be with you do you think she settled. >> i don't think she settled. i think she and i had a very instant connection on our date but i think she had an amazing connection with bryan as well. it was obvious from the start. and he's a good fit and they seem very happy and i wish them nothing but the best. >> i tell you, man, the reaction for you has been incredible around here. robin roberts bumped into you in the pantry and she said that's a whole lot of man in that pantry. i said, yeah, he's rocking the gap teeth, robin. you know what that means. he is a good man. a twitter question from one of our viewers. they want you to tell us about your high school yearbook beige from 2005 where your dream was to be on "the bachelor". >> i got that from an old high school friend a week before it came out and was a shock to myself as well. at the time i
