much you've been in quite a feud with him in "the national review" he says he attacks my brother. it's yet another example of his dangerous views on national security issues. donald trump simply doesn't know what he's talking about." >> well,l,ook, jeb has had a very hard time.. he's way down ininhe polls. he'soing very poorly. he's embarrassed by what's happening and has to attack me to try to get his numbers up. i don't think it's going to work but the last thing we need is another bush. we've seen what happens and the last thing we need is another bush. and he understands that and the voters understand that and, you know, to compare me to michael moore is a first. that one hasn't happened before. >> his brother, george w. bush is out there, reports at his fund-raiser struck out at ted cruz for opporornistically embracing you says he doesn't like the guy. is that what ted cruz is doing, embracing you for an opportunity? >> ted's been very nice. he's been amazinglrespectful. he agrees with most of my positions, if not all my positions and, you know, we had a very good relationship, so i don't know if you call that embracing. he respectsxwhat i'm saying.

>> you think he could una challenge to you. >> i don't know. i mean i really don't know. i'm just going to put my head -- you know, i've won many times in life. that's what i like to do is win and that's why the voters see me as somebody that can turn our country around. our country is in serious trouble. we lose all the time. whether it's isis or whether it's 19 trillion in debt, you know, we're losing all the time, whether it's trade deals, no matter what it is, we lose. look at the new iran pact negotiated by incompetent people and the public is tired of it. >> paul ryan says he'l'lwilling to be e eaker if republicansns meet his conditions and unify hind him. you have differences w wh him on immigration, social security and medicare. does he have your support? >> well, i like him very mucp as a person. i don't like his -- you know, the issues you mentioned and certainly he has been weak on immigratn and i'm very strong on immigration. had we had strong immigration, you know, my policies, you may not have had the world trade center coming down and the

those people, some of them werer here illegally, they were here under a very weak visas and so i feel very strongly about immigration and we have to be strong on illegal immigration. he inot there. with that being said, if he's a unifying force whatever it's going to take because they have to unite, the republicans have to unite as a party. >> donald trump, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much, george. now to brereing news. extraordininy pictures of a secret meeting, take a look at syrian leader bashar al assad and russian president vladimir putin, assad sneaking out of his country as he fights a civil war against u.s.-backed rebels and isis. abc's alex marquardt is in the region with the very latest on that story. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, amy. president assad is back in syria this morning after that meeting that took everybody by surprise. it's remarkable bebeuse it's the first time that assad has left syririduring thiwar thatatas now lastededlmost five years.

pickup truck, one of the few pieces of evidence police have in their hunt for the child's killer. the person behind a deadly act of road rage along this albuquerque highway. >> we're starting to see this throughout our nation and this is something that should not be happening in albuquerque, new mexico. let alone anywhere e ee in the unitit states. >> repter: police say it happened around 3:00 tuesday afternoon. the two vehicles driving west along interstate 40. >> the cars are both moving one car pulled up against the other car and started firing rounds into that vehicle. >> reporter: an off-duty sheriff's deputy arriving on scene first finding the 4-year-old wounded girl and her distraught parents. >> the dad explained there was some type of road rage incident. >> the child rushed to a localal spital where she latat died. >> i'm g gng to need freeway shut down. >> reporter: police brought the interstate to a halt for several hours pulling ovfr cars matching the various descriptions from witnesses.

the government task force recommending starting at age 50. the american cancer society, it's their first revision in 12 years and say start at age 45. what they say is women age 40 to 44 should have screening based on personal choice. at 45, it's annual. and then starting at age 55, mammogram every other year. and then in addition, they are no longer recommending that your doctor or nue do an annual breast exam. what they said was that's picking up changes that aren't cancer and leading to treatment that's not necessary. >> and, rich, going off of that point, most people know that i was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 40 from a mammogram and so f f women like me or wowon who are afraid they're going to be me, the big question is why.. we know early detection saves lives. is it suggesting it doesn't save enough lives? >> what they're trying to balance is saving lives and reducing harm. and when they looked at the data, they said that for a woman of average risk, 45 is that cut point. but they're still leaving choice so a woman can start having

screening at age 40. for women at higher risk, anyone who has a family history of breast cancer, who may have a genetic mutation like brca or x-ray radiation treatment as a child, starting earlier and more often is the way to go. >> 40 to 44, it's your choice but the biquestion is will this affect your ability to have insurance cover those mammograms starting at an earlier age if you want to have that. if doctors suggest it. >> it shouldn't. yeah, it shouldn't because the insurance is based off the government recommendation and when they recommended age 50, pay starting at age 40 so it won't change that. it may change e at some doctors recommend for you, however but you do have that choice. >> let's hope the access is still there for all women who want it. dr. besser, thank you so much and i know that a lot of people have questions. you will be taking those questions on "gma" facebook page and on your twitter account, dr. richard besser. thank you. >> all morning. we turn to those church fires in st. louis. six predominantly black churches damaged in the past two weeks and alex perez is in st. louis with the latest. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning,

are making more money now. >> lawyers also report that in addition to spousal support, more and more women are being ordeded to payhild support. so greatathat women are making more money but this goes with the territory. these settlements. >> i guess it does. let's see how it works out. thank you. let's move on to our anti-aging series. turn back time and this morning all about dissolving double chins. according to the american society for dermatologic surgery, nearly 70% of americans have them but now a new nonsurgical treatment may be able to help you melt a double chin away. abc's marachiavocampo has more. >> reporter: the double chin, a universally dreaded and hard to fix sign of weight gain or aging. many trying anything and everything to fight them from bizarre neck exercises. >> stiti your bottom teeth over your top teeth. >> reporter: to products and machines in is the world's firyt resistance toning system.

>> reporter: en turning to invasive surgery. >> all right. you ready to go? >> reporter: but could the solution to battling this bulge be as simple as getting a shot. >> it is the only product that can actually melt or dissolve fat underneath the chin. >> reporter: it's called kybella. a recently approved injection using deox i cloeic acid. naturally occurring substance in the body that digests the fat we eat to destroy fat cells. >> we inject kybella into the area under the chin and fat cells rupture and body flushes those out t the bodyver the next couple of nths. >> reporter: doctors say for best results patients should get two to four treatments, but note they can cost a pretty penny with one shot ranging anywhere from 1,000 to $1500. but for some it's worth the cost. >> it permanently kills fat cells. >> reporter: eachhreatment lasts about t t minutes. >> clean the area then i'll numb

the area and then place a template on that's going to help guide the injections and acts like a temporary tattoo. couple quick pinches then you'll be done. >> reporter: amy says she had tried everything to get rid of her double chin. >> i felt it made me look older. >> reporter: she had three shots duringng c cnical trial i i 2012 and now three years later she is still thrilled with the results. >> i can't say enough about it. i'm so happy. >> all right, back with us now dr. whitney bowe and expensive but impressive in terms of results but that's not the only way the neck ages. tell us what happens. >> right, so there are three main categories when it comes to aging of t t neck so first you have people who primarilylyave that fullnes and they are great candidates for kybella but you have a subset who primaryily have loose or sagging and would benefit from a skin tightening procedure and you get people who develop this banding effect up and down. it's really a combination of those three things thatt

contririte to aging of the ck. >> allllright, so w w heard about the kybella and saw what happened. when you have the loose skin, you said tighten it. >> there's ultrasound and radio frequency procedures that can actually tighten the skin so it's actually very similar to the shriners that we used to play with. when you apply heat to the different layers in the neck, you can actually contract and ghten that in. >> do you have to keep it up? >> it lasts about one to two year. >> that's longer than i would have thought. about about those neck band. >> take a look at this. basically we have these things call platysmal bands in our neck and muscle fibers that run from the bottom of the chin down to the collarbone. now, as we maturere those m mcle fibers become more visible because the skin itself becomes thinner and the effect can be ry aging. so what you can do is i can actually sort of smooth out those bands and relax the muscles with a little bit of botox. i literally burch the band

between my fingers and apply tiny drops of botox down each one of those bands and then it rerexes for about three to four months. >> that's a real result there so -- all of these options are nonsurgical. >> all noninvasive or minimally invasive so minimal downtime. this would take five minutes in the office. >> dr. bowe, thanks for joining us. >> thank you very much both of you and turning now in the "heat index" to kate a royal debut at a statete banquet.t. the queen welcomed the chinese the queen welcomed the chinese president last night with a lavish dinner. william and kate were there looking dazzling in white tie and diamonds. abc's lama hasan has more from london. good morning, lama. >> reporter: good morning to you, lara. this morning that chinese state visit is still going strong with william and kate celebrating creative cultutul ties between the two nations but make no mistake, everyone is still talking about that state banquet last night, a first for the
