sam champion, of course, has the latest on this monster storm. beryl is really something. >> this is a tough storm and we have a lot of time with it left, gio. good morning, everyone. we're talking about one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. from cancun to tulum. we are watching a land falling hurricane right now as you and i are talking. this is what the video looks like out of the area right now. the only thing you're going to see if you're looking into playa del carmen, cancun, cozumel, a lot of wind, rain, flooding. but i want to show you what 6-8 feet of water will do up against the shoreline. that is wild ocean. running over any pier or shoreline right into those towns, right into those hotel zones. that's what it looks like right there. here's the storm. a couple things i want to show you out of this, there is tulum and cozumel and playa del carmen and cancun. they are all shoved in here together, and that storm is coming in right there. in the zone is exactly where we have the land falling eye wall right now. as it weakens off the yucatan

peninsula, will it strengthen in the gulf? yes, but here is where the warm water temperature is. my problem with that is it is right up against the coast of texas, so it could be up to 8 inches of rain, flash flooding, all the way through. we will talk in great detail over the next couple of days. >> just unbelievable how strong the storm is. but you're also tracking dangerous heat, and you have breaking news on the fires in the west. >> yesterday we told you about that heat and how the fires would build. last night about a hundred acres in the fire known as the french fire in central and southern california, the also fires going on in northern california, and let me show you why. this brand-new heat wave is building into this area here. it's been here a couple days, but it's going to go on for another week. remember, we had two years before we got out of the drought in california. we had this rainfall, grew all this lush vegetation, now we are dry again and that is burning in this heat. i want to show you something that is incredible. i want to show you a record high temperature. look at las vegas at 119 degrees. that is not a daily or monthly

record, it's the warmest vegas has ever been, if we hit that. their warmest temperature has been 117 degrees. they've gotten close to that many times. they just haven't gotten over it. now we are in the forecast with this heat wave to get 119 degrees. if this isn't making everyone go "wow," i don't know what does. >> wow. >> and dangerous heat, at that. sam, we will check back with you in just a bit. we do move now to the latest on president biden fighting to save his candidacy as he prepares to sit down in just hours with our george stephanopoulos for his first television interview since that poor debate performance. our senior white house correspondent selina wang has the latest. selina, good morning. >> hey, good morning, whit. all eyes are on the president today, and i am told that donors and allies are closely watching that interview with george as they decide whether to keep on supporting the president or not. >> overnight, the president and first lady hosting a july 4th celebration at the white house. >> four more years! four more years!

it was a bad night that may have locked in a really unfortunate narrative about president biden's age and fitness. >> congressman jared golden questioning biden's chances in an interview with the local station. >> i think if joe biden chooses to run, he's going to lose. >> now a third democratic lawmaker, congressman seth moulton of massachusetts, urging biden to step aside to let new leaders rise up and run against donald trump. concern over the president's fitness for office reaching a fever pitch. sources now tell abc news that, during a meeting with democratic governors at the white house earlier this week, the president said he needs to get more sleep and work fewer hours, even suggesting he should end events at 8:00 p.m. >> it wasn't a literal, 8:00, i'll be doing things to philly. it more figurative. >> california governor gavin newsom, while campaigning for biden and battleground michigan, defending the president, describing his stamina during their joint event

in los angeles right after biden returned from his european tour last month. >> he barely slept. i was exhausted and got back to the hotel room and collapsed. he did that with a smile on his face. >> this is a make or break it moment for president biden, and donald trump is trying to take advantage of this chaos. he's calling for another debate anytime, anywhere, but of course they've already committed to a debate in september on abc news. whit? >> celina wayne, thank you let's bring in rachel scott, who's been covering the campaigns for us. good morning once again. a lot going on here as we wrap up the week. growing concerns from democrats about biden's future, many worried about their own chances of reelection. what now are they facing? there's a warning from the house minority leader for that. >> democratic leader hakeem jeffries has been very measured on this but he has been very direct to his members are voicing these concerns, and he has said, once you say it publicly, you can't go back.

really think this through. he's getting an ear full. he is in listening mode right now but he's hearing from his colleagues that are deeply concerned, calling on the president to step aside, calling on the democratic leader to actually intervene. jeffries, i'm told, is asking his members to give the president space and time to make this decision, but i've heard from a number of democratic lawmakers who say comments like the president made during the governor's meeting are not helping and it's another reason why all eyes will be on this interview today with our very own george stephanopoulos. they want to see the president perform well. >> describing it as make or break. we are also learning about new threats from major democratic donors. >> you have one major democratic donor who is the cofounder of netflix that's already calling on the president to step aside, but more than that, we are hearing from a handful of donors saying they will not give any more money to the president's campaign until he does. that's going to be very striking for the president, because the money could simply just dry up here. in june they had their biggest fund-raising month, but one

democratic donor did pen an op-ed saying it's time to change the picture before they have a chance of losing. >> it's incredible to see these developments over course of the last week. rachel scott, thank you so much. we appreciate it. a reminder, our george stephanopoulos is sitting down with president biden today in an exclusive one-on-one interview, the president's first television interview since that debate. the entire interview will then air tonight at 8:00 p.m. right here on abc. rebecca? >> a critical conversation, whit. okay, we turned overseas now to a seismic change in british politics. james longman is live from london with what this means for one of the u.s.'s most important allies, and what comes next. good morning, james. >> good morning, rebecca. britain is waking up to an historic election result this morning. the governing conservative party of the rishi sunak has been defeated in a monumental landslide by the labour party and its leader, keir starmer, is now the prime minister. he's meeting as we speak with

king charles at the palace as per protocol. he will go to downing street and stand outside that famous number 10 door to speak to the british people. he is 61 years old, former public prosecutor. fair to say not seen as massively charismatic but he is a stability candidate after 14 years of conservative rule, and the story of this election is the scale of the conservative defeat. they've never seen anything like this. not since 1830, when the party was founded. some huge names in british politics have lost their seats, like former prime minister liz truss. people in this party are angry with the conservatives and angry at tory infighting, angry at the way brexit was handled, angry that public services seem to be on their knees, and angry at a spiraling cost of living. keir starmer has a massive mandate, but he's also got a massive challenge ahead. gio? >> a dramatic shift in the u.k. james, thank you so much. back here at home, we are learning more about what happened when a truck drove through a crowded park right here in new york city as many were celebrating the fourth of july, killing at least three people. abc senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky has the latest now. good morning.

>> the suspect going too fast, jump to the curb, and then plowed into these people gathered to celebrate the fourth of july. three people are dead, including a man and woman who appeared to be related. seven people are injured including an 11-year-old boy who is now stable at the hospital. a woman was critically hurt. the driver is a 44-year-old man from new jersey driving a ford f-150. police say he sped through a stop sign and jumped the curb, crashed into the crowd. the truck was on top of people when police arrived. some folks in the crowd held the driver until police came. he's now in the hospital. police said he appeared heavily intoxicated. this happened about a week after another drunk driver crashed into a nail salon on long island, killing four there, including an off-duty cop. rebecca, her wake is today. >> just too tragic, and thinking about all those families. all right, aaron. thank you. we turn now to the economy. all eyes are on the latest jobs report out this morning, and elizabeth schulze joins us now

with a breakdown on all of it. good morning, elizabeth. >> hey, good morning, rebecca. this jobs report reveals that, if employers are shifting into a lower gear, slowing down their brisk pace of hiring. this is slightly above expectations, and it is fewer than the 218,000 new jobs in may. the majority of those job gains last month were in government and the health care sector. it's really important to watch the unemployment rate, which did tick higher to 4.1%. still an historically strong number, but now that's the highest level since november 2021. this is a sign that employers are getting a little bit more cautious and selective. we are seeing companies prioritize prior work experience when they are looking at resumes, which is a challenge for new applicants in the workforce. if the jobs market does keep cooling, it could encourage the federal reserve to finally cut interest rates this fall. that would be much-needed relief for borrowers who are trying to

pay off their credit card debt or take out a new car or home loan. whit? >> elizabeth schulze for us, thank you. now to the dramatic rescue of a hiker badly injured on a california trail, then saved by a group of teenage campers. we were able to reunite them for the first time, and morgan norwood is here with that story. morgan, good morning. this was a special moment. >> yes, so incredible. and such a touching moment, as well. that hiker says he remembers reaching for his bear spray after being spooked by something on that trail in the middle the night. he was found hours later slashed, bloodied, and shivering, by a group of teens. this morning he is reuniting with those campers and thanking them for coming to his rescue. >> this morning, a san jose hiker crediting a group of teenage campers and their counselors for saving his life when they found and bloodied and injured along this northern california trail. >> if someone didn't find me, i would have bled out, and they saved my life, for a fact. >> 34-year-old sashank upadhyayula still in a

lot of pain, but now at home recovering, reuniting with those quick-thinking campers for the first time on "gma." >> i honestly could not express my gratitude to you all. you came in like angels. >> it's really nice to see your face, see you smiling. i mean, the last time i saw you, you were under a tarp. >> it's really nice to have the finality of you being all right. >> upadhyayula was on his first solo trek over the picturesque lost coast trail last week when he said he was attacked by another hiker. something spooked me around 2:00 a.m. i pulled out my bear mace and my two knives, and that's the last thing i remember. i woke back up in the water. >> a group of teenage campers and their counselors had just started a four-day backpacking trip when they say they stumbled upon him, realizing upadhyayula was still in trouble. >> it was pretty intense at the very beginning, but we all calmed down. >> we got our med kit out and began to render a wilderness

first aid checklist of evaluating his wounds, talking to him, getting his name. >> counselors alerting officials at camp headquarters who rushed to the scene with supplies. california fire arriving at the scene about 90 minutes after that distress call, the local sheriff telling abc news the case is still under investigation. >> i was very thankful that they were there. like, all of you guys were there. it's just amazing, you know? all you guys just came out of nowhere and just saved my life. >> just in the nick of time. there's still a lot of questions about what actually happened to sashank. again, the case is still under investigation but police don't believe there's an ongoing risk to the public in that area. so glad they were there. >> good on those teens and their parents, by the way. thank you very much, morgan. coming up, a single shark attacking at least four people on a texas beach on the fourth of july. >> and a summer safety alert about drowning. would you be able to spot someone struggling in the pool? don't miss our eye-opening demonstration and what it revealed. >> plus, the july 4th sales you

can still get right now. first let's get back to sam. good morning. >> good morning, washington, d.c. it is 78 degrees out there right now. we are in a heat advisory with a heat index up to 108, 109 today, and that heat advisory runs all the way to newark, new jersey. look at that. from the tip of florida and all the way back up into texas. these numbers, as we've been talking about, are big-time heat. there is an excessive heat warning for some parts of these areas. i want to show you a little video of a storm clearing some heat that came out of -- i think it was west louisville, kentucky. there were four tornadoes reported with this, and a cold front, it shoves all the warm air ahead of it, but the storms develop right there. i want to show you right around new york city, just north of the city in hudson valley into connecticut, by about 5:00 you'll see thunderstorms developing there. you want to watch for the potential of gusty winds and lightning and heavy rain. that's the weather around the nation. here's what you can expect this morning.

a lot more ahead including our must-see demonstration, how to spot someone in trouble in the pool. it's all coming up. >> an important story, gio. now we turn to the new concern about shark attacks, including in texas, where four people were injured on the fourth of july, and the great white warning in cape cod right now. trevor ault is in rockaway beach, new york, with more. good morning, trevor. >> it is beach season and it's not just people who have been out swimming in shallow waters. there have been many already this summer, instances of shark sightings, and even several instances of dangerous shark bites. we want to warn you, some of the footage in this report is quite graphic. >> this morning, wildlife officials on alert after a flurry of shark activity in multiple locations. >> oh, my gosh. >> in south texas, four people injured thursday in the waters off south padre island, at least one man taken to the hospital. this image showing rescuers surrounding the victim with an apparent shark bite to her leg.

rayner cardenas says his son-in-law was severely bitten on the leg. >> he jumped up out of the water saying "shark, shark," and that's when adrenaline kicked in. >> cardenas carrying him to shore, saying his son-in-law is expected to be okay. the texas department of public safety capturing this footage of a shark swimming in the area around the time of the attack. the game warden saying they believe all those bites were from the same shark which escaped to open waters. meantime, in the northeast, new great white warning. multiple sightings of great white sharks off the coast of cape cod. >> the amount of sharks has definitely increased along the shore. in all my 50 years or so of fish spotting, i've never seen sharks that often. >> pilot wayne davis monitoring great whites by air, photographing this shark from up above on wednesday. according to a shark tracking app, sharktivity, a 12-foot great white killed a seal and an 8-foot shark was reported by a

paddle boarder last week. >> white sharks feed on seals, so if you see lots of seals in the area, realize there could be a white shark targeting those seals. >> already this summer in florida there's been multiple shark sightings and at least four attacks, one latching onto the arm of this boater near jacksonville. >> once you're out the beach, use caution. don't go too deep, stay shallow, don't go in over your waist. >> here in new york, after there were so many sightings last year, the lifeguards out on the beaches are now equipped with drones so they can keep an eye out for sharks and any swimmers who might need help if they encounter one. >> trevor ault, thank you so much. we appreciate it. now to our pool safety alert. gio, you've been looking to important reminders for families this summer. >> this is a big deal. the cdc reports drowning deaths on the rise, and the signs of someone drowning can be very easy to miss. i teamed up with some professionals for an eye-opening experiment. take a look. >> it looks like any other

summer pool party. young people splashing in the water, parents enjoying the barbecue, but somewhere in this pool, five different swimmers are about to simulate that they are drowning, and we are wondering if these moms and dads can spot them. drowning can happen in just seconds, and it's often difficult to spot. it's happening to someone in this public pool right now. can you spot it? there she is. [whistle] fortunately a lifeguard spots her and makes the rescue. but it is in residential pools, where lifeguards usually aren't present, that the majority of drownings take place. safety experts say part of the reason is distracted parents, talking on their phones, grilling, socializing, and supervising other children with no water watcher, a person with eyes on the water at all times. we've invited this group of parents to a pool party, assigning them tasks like running the grill and of course tending to their own young kids. we have also added swimmers splashing in the pool, but they are actually trained lifeguards

and swim instructors from swim gym swim school, skilled in mimicking drowning. the parents know they are here to learn about water safety with some sort of demonstration beginning in about an hour, but since drowning often happens when you least expect it, we begin right now. with cameras rolling, i watched from a garage just next to the pool, observing some parents checking the water, but mostly they are focused on their assignments and the party. and after 30 minutes -- >> there we go, she went under. >> our swim instructor, kelly, begins simulating a drowning, struggling to keep her head above water, arms clawing for the surface. and, just liek the real thing, she barely makes a sound. our guests seem not to notice. more than a minute goes by. >> she is still struggling and nobody's looking. we are now looking at more than two and half minutes, and still nobody notices a thing. >> after more than 4 minutes, she simulates a worst-case scenario and stops moving. remember, she's a trained professional and is just acting. josh from the american red cross

has been watching with us. >> four and a half minutes, still no parent noticed anything. does that surprise you? >> it does not. >> kelly goes back to swimming, and we cue another swimmer, and another, and another, all mimicking drowning, but nobody steps in. >> you don't realize how quickly these kinds of things can go from just a fun pool party to an incident where someone needs help. >> so now the kids get out of the water, go get some snacks, and they're going to leave someone behind. and that person is going to start drowning. >> after 30 seconds of purposeful struggling, this dad spots her. >> you all right? >> within 36 seconds, he noticed. >> it's great that he noticed. we hoped that they would notice faster. >> he said in some cases swimmers can submerge in seconds, making them even more difficult to spot. it's time to reveal our experiment. >> there were four drownings that nobody spotted. what does that make you think?

>> my kids were on the deck, so i turned my back. that doesn't mean there weren't other kids in the pool, though. >> i think we took for granted that they all knew how to swim. >> for the man who spotted the victim, it's too close to reality. >> you were visibly shaken. why were you so nervous? >> it happened to my child. >> his daughter, valentina, survived, but he says when she was just three she began drowning in a hot tub. he was on the phone. >> i got a phone call, and i got distracted, and she was in trouble. so that brought back memories. >> water safety experts say one of the solutions is a water watcher, someone standing next to the pool free from distractions, constantly scanning the water for any signs of distress, rotating every 15 minutes to avoid losing focus. we show the parents what they missed. >> this is that moment when

she's motionless in the water. >> this seems to be very emotional for you. >> they are all our kids. what else do you say? >> an emotional day for those parents. experts tell us the majority of pool drownings happen when there are no adults around, so that 4-side defense around the pool can really help. there are also these things called pool alarms, but the most important thing is still supervision. >> and good to rotate as parents, too. >> gio, thank you for that. up next, becky worley has the july 4th deals still dropping. hey, becky. >> whit, good morning. july 4th deals, pfft, gone, but good news, july 5th has its own deals hanging on! boom, boom! the bargains are not stopping today. i'm going to tell you why the deals keep coming, and how to time your buys to get the biggest bang for your buck. that's all coming up next. ♪ ♪ . we'll talk about it later, ok?

when i went to do it, it required me to pay $300. i asked her about it and she said everyone is paying her own way. is this a common or normal practice?" adding, "to say i'm beyond annoyed is an understatement." redditors quick to react, many telling her to decline, one writing, "paying to attend an event where a gift is also expected? no way." another saying, "you do not invite guests to an event and charge them $300. that's not how inviting guests works." >> that's gorgeous. >> it's $800. >> it's on sale! >> according to the knot, the average cost to be a bridesmaid adds up to about $2,000. roughly $1,300 for the bachelorette party, about $250 for wedding and shower gifts, $250 for hair and makeup on the big day, and about $130 for the dress. >> the cost of having a wedding, especially having the type of really huge thing that you see on instagram, a lot of people

look for backdoor ways to do it, such as charging their guests. but just because it is not in your budget doesn't mean it is in their budget, either. >> and while wedding etiquette is constantly evolving, typically the bride's family takes on the shower. but, in recent years, especially amid the rising cost of everything, more brides have been passing on the bill to bridesmaids. >> it's really important that every bridesmaid knows they can say no to certain expenses, and it's really important for every bride to be gracious about that when that happens. >> okay, so, as you can imagine, this post is generating a lot of opinions. one writing that it felt expensive until she herself became a bride. another is saying support your friend and stop being cheap. i do want to add that the bridesmaid at the center of this debate now says she is not going to the bridal shower. >> okay, all right. >> drama. >> we are seeing a lot of this. i have one coming up in september. i will not be paying.

she ran off i would just run after her, and it was okay to continue this behavior. >> her 3-year-old daughter wears the tracking device as a bracelet, mostly in crowded areas. >> it does help me feel more in control of the situation, and as a parent, my top priority is her safety. in addition to her ability to have some independence. >> and if they were to get separated, she's able to see her exact location on her phone. using air tags is easy. you just purchase one and then bring it in proximity to your phone. it automatically recognizes it and then you give it a name. this one is called "finn's backpack." so i can just throw it into his backpack, and now i know where he is. >> apple tells abc news that air tags are intended for tracking items, not people, and says to stay on top of a kid's whereabouts an apple watch is ideal because of its safety features. parenting expert ericka souter says devices like air tags are a good way to give children a slice of independence while also keeping an eye on them for

safety. >> if you have little ones, you want to make sure they are safe. parents have a lot of safety concerns in this day and age. >> but, she says, when using these devices, you also have to factor in your child's age. >> if you have a teenager who hangs out with their friends or has a curfew, you have to eventually begin to trust them to follow the rules and be back home when they need to be back home. so, for a lot of families, the teenage years are the cut off or something like the air tag or monitoring their whereabouts. >> you can get a pack of four air tags for roughly $80. then there are other options on the market that are specifically meant for tracking children, like watches, but they usually start at about $100 and you need to pay a monthly service fee, guys. >> we did this with our kids on vacation recently, but now maybe all year-round. we'll see. [laughter] becky worley, thanks so much. appreciate it. >> okay, dad! >> dad is on it. sam, pop news, what's going on?

>> i'm very excited about this one, whit. happy friday, everyone. let's start with some royalty. the one and only sir paul mccartney proving that age is just a state of mind, although i lost my mind once i passed 60. [laughter] earlier this week, the beatle officially marked his lucky 13th top ten chart-topping album. it's called "one hand clapping." go ahead, make the sound. and it was actually originally recorded 50 years ago with his band, wings. now, if you don't know wings, we can't be friends. >> i don't know wings. >> the album features megahits -- no way! >> baby gio! >> up until now we were friends. it is a reworked extract of the classics, plus the recordings were never released at the time it was made. now "one hand clapping" has officially hit the top ten billboard albums chart, and vinyl sales charts. he's going strong, folks. the grammy-winning superstar turned 82 years young just last month and announced that he is extending his "got back" world

tour, extending it, playing multiple stadium shows in brazil. okay, now i understand why he's in brazil. and on top of his international stops, they'll be across south america, the u.s., the u.k., mexico, all happening this fall. >> amazing. >> fantastic. >> he's unbelievable. and more music news this morning, my spirit animal, sabrina carpenter, is really having a moment. it's not just me saying it. everybody else is, too. her run in the chart continues. her songs "espresso" and "please, please, please" actually keep dethroning each other for the top spot on the global spotify chart. one wins and the next one comes back, and i think we can officially declare "espresso" the song of the summer. it is the song of the summer. >> thanks. >> there, done, but we are not done. now sabrina is taking to instagram to celebrate more good news. posting, "and just like that,

you guys sold out the entire short and sweet tour. espresso went number one, thank you all so much." she is such a sweetheart. and someone special decided to congratulate her in the comments. taylor swift. if you need another reason to love taylor. >> in the comments? >> writing, "summer of sabrina, may it continue forever," with an angel emoji. now, sabrina of course opened for taylor on her eras tour, so taylor supporting women artists as she always does. you heard it here, taylor has declared it, it's the summer of sabrina carpenter. now we need to "please, please, please" observe it. [laughter] finally this morning, a story of brotherly love. chris cook lives in denver, colorado, and recently told his brothers that he is very close to giving up on love. don't do it! after searching for his entire life. his twin brother, henry, and younger brother, jamie, decided this is not an option and took matters into their own hands, creating the "find chris love" campaign. they went old school with a highway billboard, created car magnets to spread the word throughout the area, and created

online dating profiles and an entire tiktok account dedicating their search. they told us they gave themselves 30 days to find him a match. so, as sabrina would say, "please, please, please," let's get down to business. chris is 6'4". not 6'5" and not in finance, but runs half marathons and has blue eyes, by the way. he's a good-looking guy, folks. he was a ballroom dancer here in new york before moving to colorado. his brothers say he is smart and loyal and a blast to be around. he actually doesn't have any idea about this campaign that his brothers are waging. >> well, he does now! >> he didn't see the billboard? [laughter] >> so let's find him love, guys. i hope it works. i love this story. >> you could run a political campaign. >> sam is on it. >> we do have some flooding going on in the middle of the country, in our heartland. this flooding -- look at this in

veggies, edible parts chopped into small pieces, they are a-okay, including these groups of foods. avocados are very nourishing. you've got to remove the pit and the skin. >> i didn't realize that. mushrooms? >> every mushroom you can buy at the grocery store is amazing for your entire family. culinary and edible mushrooms have incredible health benefits, and if you cook those mushrooms, the health benefits increase. one clove of fresh garlic into a batch of dog food, amazing for flavor and health benefits, and pitted fruits like peaches and plums are also wonderful, but you're not going to feed stems, cores, rinds. you're going to feed the pieces and parts of fruits and veggies that you would feed your >> and gio has some. whole family. >> dr. becker, zorro is not too picky because he's been eyeing the treats. but a lot are picky. >> they are picky eaters, so one thing we do is try to match the protein they like, like if your dog is really into chicken, you can make a nutritionally complete and

balanced chicken recipe and start by weaning them onto fresher and better food. also remember, when you cook homemade pleat nutritionally completefoods, th. nutritionally complete and balanced chicken recipe and start by weaning them onto fresher and better food. also remember, when you cook nutritionally complete foods and treats at home, they taste fresh so it tastes good. if you have a finicky eater, homemade treats and foods are a good option. >> you bet it is. it's important we base the number dogs and cats need off their activity level and life stage. you know how many calories, you can divide into three meals, two meals, or one meal a day. these are going to be fine eating multiple times a day, but the largest food frequency study, out of 24,000 dogs, the dog aging project discovered that feeding dogs once a day actually resulted in the best health outcomes. >> wow, okay. >> but it's not a popular study with dogs. when it comes to healthy treats, these are apple cinnamon treats. all of these are three ingredient treats. even if you hate being in the kitchen, or you're not a cook, these are pretty easy for everyone to make. apple cinnamon treats, applesauce, coconut flour,
