with the flooding emergency in south florida. >> at least two people are dead after torrential rains led to a multi-car pileup near naples. flash flooding left drivers stranded on roadways. some people were removed from their homes by boat. and now officials say the danger is not over yet. overnight, the national weather service sounding the alarm again, life threatening flooding possible for a large part of south florida through this morning. more water is not what they need here in collier county, more than two feet of rain has fallen. police say two people in the area were killed after a driver lost control, causing a multi vehicle crash in hallandale beach, where more than 20in has fallen. residents attempted to clean up even as the rain fell. for one driver, it was hard to tell where the road stopped. crews are pulling that car out of that canal right now. >> the woman who was driving the car says she didn't realize there was a body of water there. just look. it's basically even
4:33 am
with the street level, she thought she was turning on to another street. instead, she plunged right in. >> that woman crawled out her window in miami, the streets lined with abandoned vehicles. tow truck driver leo alonso telling our team his phone has been ringing nonstop. >> i don't even answer anymore, really. i don't even answer. it's too much. >> some homes still drying out, frogs, flying bugs everywhere. that's what darla castillo says the water brought inside her home. >> we were scared. we ended up staying in the living room because we didn't feel safe in the bedrooms. if the water was coming in from all sides. >> but some are taking advantage of the situation. more rain is possible for southern florida through tomorrow, with up to ten inches possible in some areas. we will take a look at the full forecast in just a few minutes. >> the search is on for a retired los angeles county sheriff's deputy who went missing in greece. it's now in its fourth day. albert calabi vanished while hiking on the island of amorgos tuesday morning. police are studying surveillance video, which appears to show calabi before the hike. he was last seen at a
4:34 am
refreshment stand along that trail. temps on the island were over 100. both wednesday and thursday, leading schools there to close. highs today will be in the mid 90s. >> hope he's okay. in a rare move, the pentagon announced the arrival of a us nuclear powered submarine in cuba. the uss helenas visit to guantanamo bay was described as a regularly scheduled port visit, but it came just one day after four russian warships arrived in havana, cuba. they are expected to be there through the weekend before conducting exercises off the cuban coast. >> president biden will meet with pope francis today at the g7 summit. that's on the heels of the european leaders approving a $50 billion loan to ukraine to buy weapons and begin rebuilding. now, the funding for that loan will come from frozen, frozen russian assets. president biden also bolstered support for ukraine, inking a new ten year security agreement with president zelensky. president also spoke publicly for the first time about his son hunter's conviction on federal gun charges. and when asked
4:35 am
about pardoning his son, he again ruled that out. also making it clear he would not commute his sentence back here in the us, it is expected to be another busy day at the supreme court, but thursday's ruling about an abortion drug is still on the minds of many on both sides of the issue. >> abc's christiane cordero has details on that. christiane. >> good morning, brian, and good morning to you. this was undeniably a big statement by the supreme court with the justices appearing to weigh in on an abortion related case like never before. unanimously this morning, a unanimous supreme court decision protecting access to the abortion pill brings near unanimous reaction beyond the bench. it's not over in the case. a group of anti-abortion rights medical professionals challenged the fda's regulation around mifepristone, accusing the administration of unlawfully easing restrictions around the drug. in the court's opinion, justice brett kavanaugh writes the plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate that fda's relaxed regulatory requirements likely would cause them to suffer an injury, while noting the plaintiffs have sincere legal,
4:36 am
moral, ideological, and policy objections to elective abortion and to fda's relaxed regulation of mifepristone. but that because they weren't personally injured, the case doesn't have legal standing. the court did not weigh in on whether the fda was right to roll back restrictions, leaving the door open to future cases. this is the same district court that already has allowed several states the states of kansas, idaho and missouri to intervene. we continue the fight. it is not over. >> we'll be back with another case with better standing next time. >> the ruling keeps mifepristone available by mail in most states where abortion is legal. in other words, status quo, which vice president harris says is not reason to celebrate. >> we are looking at the fact that two thirds of women of reproductive age in america live in a state with a trump abortion ban. this ruling is not going to change. >> that issue has expanded to include access to contraception and ivf. this week, senate republicans blocked a package of
4:37 am
bills that would protect ivf access nationwide in a 4847 vote. it needed 60 to move forward. senate republicans have called that bill political show and overreach. now the supreme court still has 24 opinions to get through and is set to release as many as four more decisions today. one of those cases could decide whether federal law protects abortion access in emergency rooms when a woman's health is at risk. lionel. >> all right, christiane, thank you so much for that update. well, donald trump has scored a small victory in the supreme court. the justices have ruled against a california man trying to trademark the phrase trump too small. he was hoping to get exclusive use of that phrase to sell t shirts and other merch. he can still sell items with that phrase, but so can anyone else. >> and trump spent the day visiting capitol hill for the first time since the january 6th attack. republican senators gathered to greet him, including some vice presidential hopefuls, even a few critics. among those was minority leader mitch
4:38 am
mcconnell, who shook hands with trump. the two had not spoken for three and a half years. that's when mcconnell angered trump by congratulating joe biden on his presidential victory in a speech on the senate floor. >> an armed and dangerous burglary suspect has been captured after escaping from a houston courthouse. police say nigel sanders overpowered an employee and then tried to carjack a woman at knifepoint, but failed, then took off running students at the nearby university of houston were warned to stay indoors. >> an faa investigation is now underway into a new issue involving boeing 787 dreamliners. the company admits hundreds of fuselage fasteners on some undelivered planes may have been improperly installed. boeing says the issue does not impact 787 that are already in service. the admission comes as the faa administrator told congress that the agency's oversight was inadequate before a door plug blew off a boeing plane mid-flight back in january. >> faa's approach was too hands off, too focused on paperwork, audits and not focused enough on
4:39 am
inspections. we have changed that approach over the last several months, and those changes are permanent. >> the faa and boeing are working together to determine how to resolve the new issues with the 787 dreamliner. >> time now for a look at your morning weather. >> more downpours all the way as we work our way throughout friday. already very saturated in water logged here throughout southern florida, so any additional downpour can lead to flash flooding. and we are looking at a high risk to lives and property here into the start of the weekend, especially running from fort myers south and east toward fort lauderdale and into miami. now for accuweather. i'm justin popovic for abc news. >> coming up, the legal battle over an airbnb after the renters refused to leave. >> also added a potential payday for elon musk after tesla stockholders vote to restore his
4:40 am
pay package. >> and later, the titanic admission from kate winslet about her most famous on scre you're not alone. rent is up, and every family outing costs an arm and a leg. well, we want to help.

4:43 am
idea. we'll only find out when they leave. >> rahman, who spoke to diane wilson from our abc owned station, wtvd, says the guests agreed to a long term rental from october of last year until last month, but now they won't leave and haven't paid for several weeks. so she called the police and whoever answered the door promised they'd go. >> how sure are you really going in the morning and thinking, just give us until the morning. that's all i'm asking for so i can get our stuff packed up and we'll go. >> but they didn't leave. instead, they left a note outside the door saying, we will vacate the property. when you have filed the proper paperwork with the civil magistrate for an eviction, for we are legal residents of this home, they claim the checkout date is june 24th and were overcharged. rahman denies that went to court and the guests did not show up. the judge granted summary ejectment but it's not over yet. the guests have ten days to appeal. >> good that i was granted eviction, but the fact that i
4:44 am
have to wait ten more days to get them out as is a little frustrating. >> on their website, airbnb warns hosts if a guest stays a month or longer, local tenancy laws could protect them and you may not be able to remove them from your property without proceeding through required eviction processes in court. airbnb also released a statement saying issues like this are very rare on airbnb, and our team is continuing to work with our host to provide support. rahman must now wait until june 25th to see if the guests will appeal. and if they don't, she can then file to have them removed. the homeowner says it was difficult to get airbnb to acknowledge her issues, but they recently agreed to help with any damage. additional cleaning and payment for the extra nights. the guest stayed and did not pay. rhiannon. lionel. >> all right. andrea, thank you. tesla ceo elon musk one step closer to having his
