and hero's welcome. the superstar surfer returns home overnight after that shark scare. now a worldwide phenomenon and opens up about that close encounter to friends and family joking about why he was targeted. as the internet goes into overdrive with its new hero. i'm glad he can joke about a shark attack right now but we're all going to have to get into the water to escape the heat. >> i'm telling you. we'll begin with the sizzling heat. millions under heat warnings and advisories. it was the hottest day of the year in major cities across the northeast and temperatures could top 90 degrees again. ginger where else would she be but outside in the heat for us this morning? >> oh good morning, to you, robin. this is supposed to be the hottest time of year and, boy, is it turning out to be. already in the low 80s this morning. one of the issues. the temperatures are not dropping. the other issue, a lot of moisture in the air. look at some of the heat indyices and feels like 90. you have the heat and humidity and when you start to get into the danger zone. >> this is worse than brutal. >> reporter: oppressive blistering heat. >> it's awful and it's very very hot. >> reporter: overnight, parts of new york city without power. and staten island portable light towers brought in illuminating officers directing traffic. no power forcing this hospital to run on backup generators. >> brutal. >> reporter: power lines igniting from the overload. new york city, now in the midst of what will likely be the first official heat wave we've had since 2013. nearly a dozen firefighters treated for heat-related ailments. some rushed to the hospital. >> check on your neighbors. particularly our senior citizens. >> reporter: in philadelphia city buses free for seniors to ride keeping them out of that heat and cooled off. in louisiana, and in texas, roads buckling. heat indices above 105. >> flames rolling out. >> reporter: in new hampshire take a look at this. nascar driver alex boman's right front tire burning rubber as temperatures soared to 126 degrees on the track. the other problem is the heat is cumulative. that's why we have advisories in effect from texas all the way to southern virginia southeast virginia. excessive heat virginia for florence south carolina up to wilmington. the numbers are going to soar above 106. jackson, mississippi, what it will feel like. if you are north of philadelphia you're going to see some fresher, much less humid and cooler air going into the end of this week so things will improve, george. >> okay thanks very much. to the race for president now. your voice, your vote and our brand-new abc news/"washington post" poll. big news for donald trump jumping out to the widest lead yet on the republican side. nearly double the support of his closest rival. let's get more on this from jon karl and pretty stunning surge but it does come with an asterisk. >> reporter: stunning surge with a big caveat. first the surge, look at the numbers, trump weighs in with 24% support among republicans. that is twice as much as jeb bush and it is the biggest lead we have seen by any republican so far in this race by far, but here's the caveat. most of this poll was conducted before his controversial comments on john mccain. among those surveyed after those comments his support went down conspicuously and take a look at this morning's "daily news," new york "daily news" getting hammered over those comments. "the daily news" pointing out trump received five deferments avoiding the draft in vietnam while he was spending mccain was spending his time as a p.o.w. >> most think he won't get the nomination but are worried he is a spoiler. >> reporter: look at the polls. jeb bush versus hillary clinton, you have a close race. but if trump jumps in as an independent, suddenly hillary clinton wins in a landslide, almost all of trump's support coming from republicans. >> and, jon, i'll be heading to ohio to interview john kasich the 16th candidate right now. not really registering in the polls but his profile gives him a lot of potential. >> reporter: so hard to break through but, look he is the governor of ohio he has won election twice in ohio and as you know there probably is no battleground state more significant than ohio so if anybody has a chance to break through at this late game it may be him. >> that will be on "world news tonight." >> i'll now you'll scoot out early for that. the latest on sandra bland, the woman found dead in a texas jail cell three days after being arrested during a traffic stop. police have released new video fromout side her cell around the time she died as her family awaits the results of that private autopsy. abc's ryan smith has been tracking the case for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. authorities say they believe sandra bland's death was a tragic dent and not one of criminal intent but also add they're viewing it like a murder investigation and now releasing video from inside the jail where she was held during the last moments of her life. this morning, authorities say this newly released jailhouse video shows the moments police officers realized sandra bland was dead. hanging in her cell a garbage bag around her neck. the three-hour surveillance tape shows little activity in the hallway leading to bland's cell. but watch as this officer goes to check on her, looks through a window and runs back to the main jail area to summon help. >> this is being treated like a murder investigation. >> reporter: the texas rangers now investigating how she died after being arrested in this routine traffic stop. >> you just slammed my headnto the ground. do you not even care about that? >> reporter: police placed her in this area of jail cells. you want see her but they claim her health was intact. >> there were no reported injuries by miss bland. no additional medical treatment requested. >> reporter: less than three hours before her death jailers conducted their rounds. >> a jailer personal spoke with miss bland and she reported i'm fine. >> reporter: later she asked about making agent phone call one never made. it would be their last conversation with her. an hour later, a guard comes to sandra's cell. >> a jailer observed miss bland hanging from a privacy partition in her cell. >> reporter: but this video still leaving her family with more questions than answers. >> it wasn't much of anything there so of course that's still lingering questions. i will tell you that what i think it shows is that it's clear that something is wrong. >> reporter: while a coroner listed her cause of death as suicide authorities say they're not so sure. >> it is too early to make any kind of determination that this was a suicide or a murder. >> reporter: police say they expect to release dash cam of the arrest and as for her family they're hoping private autopsy results expected today will help solve the mystery of her death. >> thanks very much. let's talk to dan abrams about this. the police treating this like a murder investigation. but no evidence that anyone went in the cell. >> that's right so you have the sheriff and the coroner deeming this to be a suicide. but in he sense what the district attorney is saying is yeah i know that's their position. but i'm still going to do an independent investigation here to determine could there be something else meaning you can still look for example at the last tick bag. were there fingerprint, dfa, important questions that need to be answered and by the d.a. coming out and saying i'll look at it as if it were a murder investigation he's saying this isn't over and i'm pretty sure he's going to end up handing this to a grand jury to ultimately make that decision. >> that's why the autopsy is so important, but also the release of this dash cam video. >> the video is from when she's arrested expecting that to be released today. a somewhat separate issue as to why was she arrested. did the police behave properly when she was arrested. that will be more important than any civil lawsuit that she may file against the police department than necessarily in the murder investigation. >> why she spent three days in jail. >> that's right. >> thanks. now to new very manies overnight in the investigation into that deadly shooting in chattanooga. we're learning new details this morning about the killer. and his ties to an influential al qaeda cleric. abc's brian ross is here with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. for the first time officials this morning say they have found the links they thought they would find between the chattanooga shooter and islamic terrorists. it turns out that mohammad abdulazeez was an online follower of the radical preacher and al qaeda recruiter anwar al awlaki and they discovered the links in an extensive search of his phone and online activity and a representative confirms to abc news that the days before the weekly shooting last week abdulazeez went online searching for religious justification for attacking the two u.s. military sites. apparently hoping that by carrying out his suicide mission, allah would forgive his earthly sins including drug abuse and long list of personal failures but his family sees as more evidence of his mental illness and what the fbi sees as a clear link to radical islam. >> disturbing. something else disturbing. new drone video. take a look at this. it shows it actually firing a gun. it's going viral on youtube and now the faa is investigating. david kerley is has the story. good morning, david. >> reporter: we've seen drones doing some

final approach avoiding the small craft. >> tower, we just saw a little drone below us. >> reporter: but this morning, it's this drone that is caving the eye of the feds calling the flying gun on youtube, a semiautomatic handgun fired several times from the drone. >> there are countless ways the drones can be useful. using one as a remote controlled weapon is not one of them and i question the judgment of anyone who would attempt to do so. >> reporter: this drone, the creation of an 18-year-old mechanic and college opportunity in connecticut who the faa is investigating for violating aviation rules and possibly criminal laws as well. the college student claims building this drone is part of his studies. he may have violated two federal bans releasing anything from an aircraft and

the one used in the film before reaching a dead end. according to the paper sweat also telling police that he and matt joked that while it took the film's character andy 20 years to escape it would

battle could be a boon for consumers. paula faris has the story. good morning. >> reporter: this is really uncharted territory. jet is part costco part amazon and goal according to its founder is to

the company describing itself as an online price club saving members 10% to 15% on more than 10 million products. shoppers on jet.com will pay a $50 yearly membership fee for access to those low prices. >> we only profit from the membership. once we know what products the consumer wants to buy we can figure out what's the cheapest most efficient way to that to the consumer. >> the low cost promise seems to be true. jet.com charging 7.49 for this women's schictquattro they sell for $15 and this is selling for over $40 less than walmart and more than $200 less than amazon but this hamilton beach slow cooker is $70 less than walmart and amazon. while there is a study found jet's prices were 27% lower on average and performed especially well in the household category where prices were a surprising 39% more affordable. >> the real hard question is can they keep enough product in stock to convince you that there's enough there to be worth doing your digital window shopping on jet as opposed to amazon and walmart. >> reporter: now the company's founder mark lori has a whole lot of internet success under his belt. you may have heard of diapers.com. sold it to amazon for $550
