7:04 am
serve your country. imagine what they had to go through. i was here 30 years ago. came in on a landing craft. you could see from out there what they saw here. the idea that they got off those boats, they got off those landing craft, many of them died, sinking. come across that beach. just astounding. astounding. but what it says to me is how critical alliances are. how critical alliances are for our security. >> reporter: the president's speech here honoring our heroes and defending democracy. i asked him about ukraine and the u.s. now authorizing the use of american weapons inside russia. and vladamir putin's warning about this overnight. i'd love to ask you about ukraine. i know for years you've resisted the idea of american weapons being used for any sort of direct strike inside russia. but we did witness a shift in recent days authorizing american
7:05 am
weapons for limited direct strikes. are american weapons being used right now inside russia? >> they're authorized to be used in proximity to the border. we are not authorizing strikes 200 miles into russia. we're not authorizing strikes into moscow, on the kremlin. >> reporter: let me ask you about what putin said about this authorization of american weapons inside russia. he said the supply of high precision weapons to ukraine for strikes on russian territory is direct participation in this war. he went on to say that this is the way to serious problems and again talked about russia's nuclear capabilities. does that concern you? >> i have known him for over 40 years. he's concerned me for 40 years. he's not a decent man. he's a dictator. he's struggling to make sure he holds his country together while still keeping his assault going.
7:06 am
we're not talking about giving them weapons to strike moscow or the kremlin. just across the border where they are receiving significant fire from conventional weapons used by the russians to go into ukraine to kill ukrainians. >> reporter: the president there on ukraine. we also asked the president about donald trump's guilty verdict, about his own son hunter biden on trial and if he's ruled out a pardon for his son if convicted. i asked him about the first debate which is three weeks from today. that's all later on "world news tonight." a profoundly moving day as we honor the heros who stormed the beaches here 80 years ago. robin. >> robin: thanks to you, david. as david said, you can see much more of his interview tone on world news tonight. george? >> george: we're going to stay in normandy. chief white house correspondent mary bruce is there. what do we expect to hear from the president this morning? >> reporter: well, george, good morning. the president, of course, honoring today the more than 70,000 americans who took part in the invasion nearly 80 years ago today. and the 2,500 who lost their
7:07 am
lives that day, many of whom are buried here behind me. this cemetery just takes your breath away. it stretches as far as the eye can see. but what is especially remarkable is the attendance of many who valiantly fought here. the president greeting them one by one today. this is likely the last major anniversary that many of those veterans will be able to attend, and the president spent one on one time with them, telling one of them, you saved the world. the president is focused on honoring their sacrifices and their duty to the world, but he also under scored the importance of american leadership and challenged the next generation to continue to protect democracy. it comes as biden is trying to rally allies to defend ukraine against russia. biden will meet with president zelenskyy while he is here. the president's remarks were not a campaign speech but he has put preserving democracy at the center of this race and is making clear this is a stark
7:08 am
contrast with donald trump. the president invoking the lessons of 80s years ago to highlight what's at stake in this election. >> now an alleged terror plot foiled overseas. a russian national was taken into custody at a hotel outside paris suspected of participating in a terrorist conspiracy and bomb plot. foreign correspondent tom soufi burridge is in paris with more. tom, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. yeah, france's internal security agency holding and questioning the 26-year-old suspect. the russian ukrainian national found with products and materials intended with the mask and manufacture of explosive devices. u.s. officials briefed on the alleged bomb plot amid media reports that the intended target could have been french military equipment destined for ukraine. the man reportedly from the russian occupied part of eastern ukraine arrested monday night is thought he mistakenly triggered an explosion in his hotel room. french first responders treating
7:09 am
him for burns before he was detained. this alleged plot coming within worsening french/russia relations. with french president macron considering sending military instructors to ukraine so russia, in his words, does not win the war, robin. >> robin: all right, tom. thank you for your reporting. now the tornado outbreak in maryland, near nation's capital. a deadly twister striking in michigan. sam is in for ginger standing by with the big picture. but first let's go to elizabeth schulze with a glimpse of the damage. good morning to you, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning, robin. we are in a dense residential area 30 miles west of the nation's capital. cars are trapped, power lines are down. if you look over here, you can see this tree has been completely split in half, fell onto that house. this is one of several homes encased by fallen trees and debris after the tornado tore through the neighborhood. >> get back down! get back down! >> reporter: overnight, multiple tornados touching down in maryland. >> there's two! there's two!
7:10 am
>> reporter: injuring five after a night of severe weather. >> this is the first time i have seen a tornado. >> reporter: the first right next to a middle school. >> oh my god. >> reporter: before moving east to the city of gaithersburg, hurling debris through the air. falling trees blocking roads and damaging several houses, including one that collapsed and trapped five residents inside, all injured but remarkably expected to survive. >> the tornado hit, i just hear loud thuds and i just go in my bathtub, hide there. >> reporter: authorities urged residents to take cover immediately. >> we never had nothing like this before. >> reporter: mean time outside detroit, a deadly ef-1 tornado killing a 2-year-old after a tree crashed into the bedroom of this home. >> this was a tough day. >> it's heart breaking. something that's hard to take, hard to swallow. probably many, many sleepless nights. >> reporter: and the canopy of this gas station toppled over, as drivers were filling up.
7:11 am
>> i nearly lost my life. >> reporter: the national weather service will be here today to investigate the damage and assess exactly how many tornados struck the area. robin? >> robin: so much damage there, elizabeth. thank you. the dangerous weather is on the move this morning. sam is in for ginger. you're tracking it all for us? >> sam: we are. good morning everyone. that tragic death in michigan was an ef-1 tornado. that just reminds us that even a low category tornado is dangerous. we got to take them all serious. this rough night, this deadly dangerous night of weather left us with about 19 tornado reports. let's concentrate what was going on in maryland, virginia, west virginia area. about 17 reports. now, we'll get in there later today and look at the damage and see, is this all coming from one storm? this was a lot of damage reported in this area. these storms are kind of like a one-two punch. they were along the warm front. now the cold front is coming through the exact same area. can we see more dangerous storms
7:12 am
develop around the baltimore/washington area? yes. keep an eye on them. look at this area popping up in central new jersey, also close to new york city. some of this north of albany as well. with the cold front, we could continue to see rough storms this afternoon. we've got major heat, dangerous heat in the country. we're gonna talk about that when we come back. >> george: also the georgia election interference case. the court has put the case on hold pending appeal from donald trump. rachel scott has details. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning. the georgia election interference case against the former president is grinding to a halt. it was already very unlikely that this was a case that would go to trial before the november election. but now this move is making that more of a reality. donald trump and 18 other defendants were indicted in august, accused of participating in an elaborate scheme to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election. georgia court of appeals putting this case on hold while it reviews a low r court decision to let district attorney fani
7:13 am
willis to stay on the case. for months trump tried to get willis removed arguing her romantic relationship with special prosecutor nathan wade created a conflict of interest. back in march a judge did allow willis to continue to lead the prosecution as long as wade resigned. trump appealed that decision. now matter could take months to resolve. of course, it was just last week the former president was found guilty, convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records. his sentencing in that case is set for july 11. that's four days before he is supposed to be accepting the party's nomination. he is also facing charges in two federal cases, one mishandling classified documents and another about overturning the 2016 election. both of those cases now facing significant delays also making it less likely either of those would go to trial before the election. >> george: okay, rachel. thank you very much. we have new details on the shootout at the u.s. embassy in beirut. the gun man who opened fire had isis insignia written across his
7:14 am
vest. they took five other people into custody. chief global correspondent martha raddatz tracking the story. >> reporter: good morning, george. americans have been warned of potential terror attacks in lebanon, but those warnings became reality with the u.s. embassy the target. this morning officials are widening the net to see who was behind it. this morning the u.s. embassy back in operation after that terrifying attack in the middle of the day. lebanese officials confirming this video shows the gun man armed with an automatic weapon moving between cars within yards of the embassy's entrance. sound of gun fire reverberating throughout the neighborhood. onlookers calling for help, but within minutes the gun man was down, shot and then arrested by lebanese soldiers. the suspect a syrian national, according to lebanese security officials. the state department investigating this picture
7:15 am
showing isis clearly written across his tactical vest, though isis has not claimed responsibility for the attack. >> the individual who was arrested was wearing what appeared to be isis insignia but we are conducting a full investigation with the lebanese authorities into the actual motivation. >> reporter: lebanese authorities conducted numerous raids after the attack, taking into custody five additional people, including members of the suspect's family. now no americans were injured or involved in the shootout, but a lebanese guard was seriously injured. whit? >> whit: martha, thank you. new concerns this morning over bird flu. a man in mexico infected with the virus has died. trevor ault is here with that story. >> reporter: we know there's been cases of bird flu in humans including a few recently in the u.s. this is the first human case of this strain of bird through h5n2. officials in mexico say a
7:16 am
59-year-old man was infected. some important things to know. officials say this man had multiple underlying medical conditions. he'd been bed ridden for three weeks before the onset of the bird flu symptoms. they also said he had no reported contact with animals a virus spreading in poultry, so it is possible he had contact with infected poultry and just didn't remember. here in the u.s. though, there have been three recent reported cases of h5n1. that's a different strain. we've seen that go back years. it has recently been spreading among animals, including live stock. big picture here, the experts still stress the risk to the public is still low. there's been no evidence of this virus spreading from person to person. this new development in mexico reiterates the need for surveillance. the experts say this is important we need to keep monitoring these cases. guys? >> robin: we do. trevor, thank you. now the starliner spacecraft getting ready to dock with the international space station today after its historic long

>> sam: i know what it is. she has to fully turn around. >> robin: how? how? how do you not, you know? >> that actually is not heavy. >> george: no? >> i'll tell you the story of this. it actually took about two years in the making. erika had this idea in the first season to have one of the queen's wigs mechanical, some kind of mechanical thing going on in it. it took two years to get that all signed off. obviously, you have red tape and safety. will it blow up in her hair? [ laughter ] will she be electrokited? how are we going to keep her alive? and my specification was i didn't want it to be heavy. i didn't want the mechanism to be in the wig. you've got the plate which is light where all the spans. all the wires go down the back of my neck to a pack that is harnessed to my leg.
8:42 am
the pack, the battery pack is only about that big. >> sam: wow. >> and also the whole innards are hollowed out. i was pleased to be able to do that for erika. she's an absolute talent. her brain is sensational. to have that manifest itself to her, as an artist, was -- [ laughter ] somebody press play. [ laughter ] >> sam: while we're talking wigs, i haven't seen this, but you had a wardrobe malfunction. what was it? >> she's dealing with these huge things and i can't wear a bloody pair of trousers. no, basically -- more than once, yeah. also because luke, the other luke, it didn't happen to him. he said they were elastic.
8:43 am
no, we tried on a pair of trousers for the balloon sequence in the first part. i said they feel snug. they always feel snug. so it will be fine. i did one of the most inelegant puller of the rope, crouching. the other luke is looking fantastic. it happened about three or four times in a row they ripped clean off.

[ laughter ] but the joy that you bring us with the series. >> it's a privilege to be in this show. >> very lucky indeed. >> very very lucky. it changes people's lives and helps them through dark times. it's great. really great. >> robin: it does. season 3 part 2 of bridgerton is coming to netflix next thursday,

8:46 am
i, like many others, found refuge in night life. i found a sense of community for the first time. i didn't have any of the tools that i needed to begin processing any of that shame. for a lot of us i think substances become a solution. >> reporter: members of the lgbtq + community are about twice as likely to face substance abuse disorders than their counter parts. >> what was a struggle for me is that isolation. >> reporter: housing works a new york city advocacy group offered programs including therapy, outpatient treatment for those dealing with alcohol and substance addiction. >> really, the aim of it is to meet people where they are, no matter what it is that's impacting them, trying to join with that person to really create an individualized style of treatment that works for them. >> this is rooted recovery story. >> reporter: 900 miles away in nashville, tennessee, patrick custer shining a light on what long time recovery looks like.
8:47 am
>> i get to live a life full of happiness, joy, peace. all the things that are the antithesis of what it stole from me. >> reporter: what does it mean this month of pride? >> loving myself to the point where i can be honest and open with every single aspect of myself. >> it's taking pride in not only my identity as a queer person, but my identity as a person in recovery. >> you and i can be that pillar of hope to show other people that, no matter what certain voices are saying, they do not define who and what i am. >> reporter: and eric, another pillar of pride, will celebrate ten years of sobriety later this year. eric, what was it like performing as a sober queen for the first time? >> it was so exhilarating. the way i would describe it is almost like the excitement you feel before getting on your first roller coaster. it's like you're terrified, but
8:48 am
you're also excited. to use drag is just the vehicle of celebration. >> i have tried to consider what message i needed to here as a queer person with substance abuse issues. i think it's this. for anyone out there struggling, it's not your fault, but it is your responsibility. the good news, you don't have to do it alone. there's a proud community of people ready to help when you're ready to ask for it. >> whit: powerful story. i'm proud of you, will, and everything that you've been through in your journey and recovery. thank you very much for that. we'l rht back.
