the power is still out for so many people, and that's what happens when it trips up these systems here. we know that flash flooding was a major concern as well. those floodwaters are starting to recede, but you can still see a little bit of ponding on the roads, but i want to go back to the electricity situation. more than 15,000 customers still in the dark, but that is a big improvement from yesterday when more than 26,000, 70% of the island was without power. we know that crews are back out on the road today putting those bucket trucks in the air now that those tropical storm force winds have died down. the good news, bermuda escaping any major damage. that means the airports, shelter in place system, and so those stuck on the island can finally return home. mary. >> mary: some good news there. i'm sure they're grateful for that. morgan, thank you. ernesto's massive size also aggravating rip current dangers up and down the east coast this morning. some areas are closing beaches because of it. abc's reena roy is at rockaway beach in queens, new york, with more. reena, good morning. >> reporter: hey, mary, good

morning to you. that's right. we are seeing the effects of ernesto firsthand here this morning, and you can see just how choppy the water is out there, and authorities there are taking no chances, banning swimming here today, and other beaches in the area, they are also following suit. even though ernesto is hundreds of miles away because rip currents are still a hazard, even that far from the center of a storm, in fact, the entire atlantic coast from florida to maine is under a high-risk rip current alert. in the south, south carolina on hilton head island, unfortunately, things taking a tragic turn friday. two men dead after they were caught in strong rip currents, and further north in the outer banks, at least one home collapsing right into the atlantic ocean, and officials are warning even more homes could be at risk as we watch ernesto move through over the next couple of days. gio? >> gio: unbelievable to see that home. all right, reena, thank you so much. let's get the latest now on ernesto's track and timing from somara theodore. good morning, somara. we have been dealing with ernesto for a long time now.

>> somara: that's right, gio. and just 24 hours ago, we were talking about how ernesto was hitting bermuda, and now it's more than 200 miles away, on the move. about 85-mile-per-hour wind gusts. while it's still a tropical storm it actually re-strengthened to cat 1 status before diminishing in strength passing newfoundland monday. take a look from maine down to florida, lit up in red, that's because we have a high risk for rip currents. their waves could reach 8 feet. you saw what reena was dealing with at rockaway beach and this could be a persistent issue through monday. we're also keeping a close eye on the pacific. hawaii, good morning. i'm talking to you. over the next seven days, we're watching for two disturbances by the end of the week into next weekend. we are going to keep a close eye on the state of hawaii. will? >> will: all right, storms brewing in both oceans on both coasts. somara, thank you for that. we're going to move to politics now as the presidential candidates focus their energies on pennsylvania, seen as a key state to winning the white house in november, and abc white house

products coming from overseas. >> i want to cut taxes on americans while putting tariffs on china and foreign countries to bring our jobs back home to pennsylvania. >> reporter: trump spending much of his remarks commenting on harris' looks. >> they said, no. her biggest advantage is she's a beautiful woman. i'm going, huh. i never thought of that. i'm better looking than she is. >> reporter: some of his supporters saying he should lay off the personal attacks. >> let's talk about, you know, the facts of what's going on in the country, the issues. he does need to ease up on that a little bit. >> reporter: harris' spokesperson in a statement writing, he resorts to lies, name-calling and confused rants. the more americans hear trump speak, the clearer the choice is this november. her running mate, minnesota governor tim walz campaigning in nebraska where he was born and raised. >> i graduated from a town of 400 named butte. i wouldn't trade growing up in that town for anything in the world.

tomorrow, abc's jay o'brien joins us with more on the preparations and the big week ahead. hey, jay, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, mary. more than 50,000 people are expected to descend on this convention here in this chicago city officials say, that is on top of the tens of thousands of protesters that are expected to demonstrate on a wide variety of social issues, particularly the war in gaza. now chicago police have tapped a specially trained contingent of about 2,500 officers. to keep the peace during those protests. they have been training for a year. that is on top of the hundreds of state and federal officials that will keep the peace at the various venues for this convention. meantime, we're learning more about what tomorrow night, the first night of this convention will look like. in addition to former secretary of state hillary clinton speaking, we know that president biden and the first lady will address the delegates, considered a kind of celebration of president biden's legacy, and a kind of passing the torch onto vice president harris. later in the week, presidents clinton and obama will speak as well as second gentleman doug emhoff. some democrats tell me they're

keeping a close eye on how divisions in the party are addressed at this convention, particularly between president biden and some of those high-ranking democrats who called on him just weeks ago to step aside, gio. >> gio: all right, jay, thank you so much. let's go ahead and stay on this with abc chief washington correspondent and "this week" co-anchor jonathan karl. joining us now, jon, good morning to you. we have that new abc news/"washington post"/ipsos poll out this morning. what's the big headline? >> jonathan: it's quite a poll. it shows the continuation of what you've seen out on the trail, which is momentum for kamala harris. in this poll, the top line number, gio, is harris/walz at 50%. trump/vance at 45%. a lead slightly outside of the margin of error. a month ago this race was essentially tied. now you see a slight lead for kamala harris, but if you look a little bit deeper into the poll, you see some real big swings, especially, gio, among independent voters.

independent voters just a month ago favored donald trump. now they favor kamala harris by double digits. it was an 11-point lead among independents. >> gio: i mean, jon, this is a dramatic shift in this race. what strikes you the most in this poll? >> jonathan: well, when you look at what we call the attributes, how the voters look at the candidates, if you look at these two questions -- this is amazing, gio. is the candidate physically fit, good enough physical health to be president? harris has a 30-point lead over donald trump on that question, and a month ago, donald trump had a 31-point lead over joe biden, and then another question has the mental sharpness, mental sharpness to be president. a month ago, trump had a 30-point lead. now kamala harris has a nine-point lead over donald trump on that. so those are the kinds of swings you just never see in polling. of course, we have a different race now. it's a different candidate at

the top of the ticket for the democrats. >> gio: a very different race, and you there are in chicago for the democratic national convention. it starts tomorrow, of course. four days in primetime for harris. i mean, this is a big deal for her, so what do democrats need to accomplish this week? >> jonathan: well, you know, they have been working really, if you count the very beginnings of this for two years to prepare for this convention, and they have had to rip up the script. it's basically an entirely new convention that's going to be about kamala harris. she has to give the country a sense of who she is and fend off republican efforts to portray her as a radical. you heard in maryalice parks' piece as a communist. she needs to go out there and show who she is and what her agenda is for the next four years in contrast to what the republicans are saying about her. >> gio: all right. jonathan karl as always, thank you so much, my friend. and abc news will cover the democratic national convention in chicago this week beginning

monday in primetime streaming on abc newslive at 7:00 p.m. eastern and then right here on the network at 10:00 p.m. monday night. tune into a special edition of "this week" later this morning. martha raddatz is at the dnc in chicago and we'll speak to illinois senator tammy duckworth and mayor brandon johnson before the convention kicks off on monday. mary? >> mary: okay, gio, overseas now. ukraine continues its incursion in russia's kursk region. breaking overnight, the ukrainian air force reporting it's destroyed a second bridge in the region. this after another bridge was demolished on friday. the bridges are critically important for supplying russian troops. this comes of course, as there are new worries over the safety at ukraine's zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant following a drone strike nearby. will? >> will: staying overseas now, antony blinken is arriving in israel today while negotiations of a cease-fire between israel and hamas appear to be making progress. abc's tom soufi burridge is in tel aviv.

he has the latest from overnight. good morning, tom. >> reporter: good morning, will. there appears to be real momentum in these cease-fire talks. israeli prime minister netanyahu saying his negotiating team expressed, quote, cautious optimism about the possibility of reaching a deal with hamas. it follows days of talks in doha with u.s. officials pushing to conclude a hostage and cease-fire agreement in the coming days. overnight, protesters out on the streets in tel aviv calling for a deal. with israel saying its negotiators are today heading to cairo for more talks. meanwhile, secretary of state antony blinken expected to touch down here in israel later today, but even while that intense diplomatic push to end the war plays out, israeli air strikes continue in gaza. more than 60 people killed this weekend, including children, according to the hamas-run gaza health ministry with 15 members of one single family killed in an israeli strike saturday. and for all the optimism about a potential cease-fire, there's been little public reaction

in the past 48 hours from hamas. hamas' leader who is the alleged mastermind of the october 7 terror attack has hamas' deciding vote and it can take days for the mediators to even exchange messages with sinwar because he's hiding out in gaza. so when it comes to the complex detail, there are still gaps between the two sides. mary? >> mary: lots to be worked out there, tom, thank you. london's historic somerset house is now open to the public again today after a major fire broke out at the art venue on saturday. more than 125 firefighters battled the blaze for several hours. the centuries-old building houses priceless works by monet and van gogh. officials, though, say the art works were not in the area of the fire, and no one was hurt. we're thankful for that. the cause of the fire is under investigation. >> will: and in germany, more than a two dozen people were hurt after a fire broke out on a ferris wheel. the gondolas going up in flames. this happened at a festival in leipzig.

governor of the state of new york of the action of the house. >> reporter: in december, santos became the sixth member expelled from the house of representatives after a tenure steeped in controversy. he admitted lying about his education, his career, and his family background, falsely claiming his grandparents survived the holocaust. but the criminal charges are about money. federal prosecutors say he misspent campaign money on designer clothing, charged donor credit cards without authorization and took pandemic-era unemployment benefits while he was working. >> he understands the seriousness of those charges. the fact that he could be facing 20 years in federal prison, and this might be an opportunity for him to avoid jail time or to minimize the amount of time altogether by taking a plea. >> reporter: it's not clear which of the criminal charges santos may be pleading guilty to or what the sentence could be, but guys, he is due in federal court here on long island monday afternoon. guys? >> mary: and we shall see. a remarkable turn of events there. thank you, aaron. time now for the weather and somara theodore. hey, somara. >> somara: good morning, mary. gotham, is that you?

check for the little ones and us parents as well. joining us is abc news medical correspondent dr. darien sutton. welcome. always good to see you. >> dr. darien: thanks for having me. >> mary: this is a frequent topic in my own house. so many parents are worried about this. what does the science say about this? >> dr. darien: we understand that there are educational benefits to using screens, but outside of that unfortunately, the data is showing that it's harming growth and development. for example, when you look at speech disturbances, academic performance. later if life, kids at increased risk of obesity as well as other problems with their social and emotional growth. a recent study shows that toddlers using tablets more have more emotional outbursts and more temper tantrums. >> mary: i've seen that in my kids. i can verify. >> will: there's also a study, dr. sutton, that looked at how a parent's screen time can affect kids. what's happening there? >> dr. darien: i thought that

this was one of the more interesting ones because it's not about how much kids are using it. it's about how much you're using it as a parent and they found that preteens who were surveyed who found their parents were paying more attention to their phones than them had more anxiety, more hyperactivity, more lack of attention. it's not just how much the teen or child is using it, but how much the parent is using it. >> gio: they always say, right, that the kids are mirroring their parents. >> dr. darien: absolutely, in every behavior. >> gio: parents need to cut down, but what about kids? what's the best guidance for kids when you're talking about screen time but also time management? >> dr. darien: what are the recommendations? from the american academy of pediatrics. those under the age of 2 should have no screen time or limiting it to phone calls with relatives in distant places. between 2 and 15, no more an hour, and that should be highly supervised, and then above the age of 15 and that includes all of us, we should have no more than two hours with entertainment. how do you get there? you set realistic limits. just taking note. how much screen time are you using? i guarantee that if you check your phones, it's a lot more than you would expect. make it less appealing. >> gio: it's not two hours. >> dr. darien: try to blame it all on this job.

make it less appealing. turning off your notifications and something i think that's really important, avoid using it as a reward or a punishment. that makes it more important, so you want to make sure you're making your child a savvy consumer of media. >> gio: you pick it up and you're, like, nope. got to put it down. >> mary: easier said than done. >> gio: it is. >> will: i look at it and go, all right, i'll do more. it's very frustrating. >> gio: thank you very much. appreciate you. time now for another look at the weather and someone else with a lot of screen time. hey, somara. >> somara: hey, guys. we are checking out the dawn over dallas. look at this. absolutely beautiful. city all aglow. this is an earth cam shot from earlier. things are heating in dallas. excessive heat warning. it can feel like up to 111 degrees today. all right, so, let's talk about this heat because the actual air temperatures out in phoenix will be like 108 degrees. we've got spots in orange in the heat advisory.

>> thanks so much for having me back. >> gio: so the big question. are there any deals left, especially if you are looking to travel for labor day? >> yeah, look. so we have actually -- we are in a time where average price of airfare has been on a cheapening streak these last few months. combine that with an oversupply of flights. this has created a perfect storm for some great last-minute availability. you can head from seattle to chicago for only $169. you can go from l.a. to bozeman, montana -- >> gio: which is beautiful. >> for $193. exactly. i was just going to say, a beautiful little mountain town. you could hop across the pond easily for a cruisy new york to london for $445, not too shabby, or washington, d.c. to porto, portugal, this is a beautiful city located just north of lisbon. if you are a port wine fan, this is the place to go. >> mary: stunning. >> you can get that for $549 for that deal, or if you really want to tick off a big travel bucket list item, you can head from san

francisco to tokyo for only $712. that's a great deal and these are available at the very, very end of august through labor day and even at some of shoulder season, september and october, roundtrip. all on full-service airlines. >> mary: that all sounds good to me, so, but while we're trying to eke out every last second this summer, is it too early to start thinking and looking ahead to the holidays? >> that's a great question and no, it's not too early. we always suggested if you want to book travel for a peak season, you should book in the opposite season. sort of like when winter coats go on sale in the middle of summer. >> gio: that makes sense. >> a lot of people aren't looking for them, but you can snag a great deal on a nice coat like i do. you want to employ that same strategy for booking your peak season travel. if you book now, new york to paris for only $488. your wallet -- your future self will thank you. you want to look to book soon. it's not too early to start thinking about those winter holiday flights. >> will: and when we're booking

these flights, are there certain websites that we should be using or checking out over others? >> that's a great question as well, and honestly there's no single best place that you can look and book every single time that's going to give you the best price, and you don't necessarily have to book the same place that you look. shop around. check out google flights. check out sky scanner. kayak, and, you know, back in the day, last year or even a few months ago, you had to go to southwest's website to see those fares and book there. not anymore. you can check those out on google flights, as well as kayak, and you can get sampling everywhere. >> gio: mary lives in d.c, so she's already looking up that d.c. to porto. >> mary: i am. i am. >> i know "gma" did a segment on lisbon. you can tack on two trips in one. >> mary: sign me up. thank you so much for the inspiration to get out there and
