those russian pilots repeatedly that they were invading turkish airspace. but russia says that those pilots in that jet was in syria where it's conducting operations all along so it's a showdown right now, george. >> nato is calling that emergency meeting. woo he saw those parachutes, terry, but do we know what happened to the pilots? >> reporter: not for sure right now. however, videos are surfacing from syria, one purporting to show a parachute in the trees and one of the russian pilots being taken prisoner. there is another video purporting to show the other russian pilot dead. but right now, what happened to them still a little unclear. >> okay, terry, thanks very much. george, now to that other breaking story. five shot at a black lives matter rally in minnesota. abc's t.j. holmes is here with the latest. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: good morning, robin. racial tensions were already high in minneapolis after police shot and killed a black man there about a week and a half ago. but this morning, folks in minneapolis waking up to this headline, police seeking three white male suspects in the

it's a high-tempo moment when all the terror overseas, today, fib and homeland security officials are urging local law enforcement across the nation to be prepared and on high alert. as shoppers and travelers prepare for the holiday season, the new fbi homeland security bulletin warns police what they should be most concerned about. the bulletin states that homegrown radicals inspired or directed by syria-based operatives, represent the most likely isis threat to the homeland. no specific plot has been identified but the bulletin says isis sympathizerses, quote, may seek to replicate the effects of the paris attacks using similar weapons and tactics, although on a smaller scale. >> the american public should expect to see enhanced security around airports, around train stations and mass transit systems, any place where there

is large crowds gathered. >> reporter: shows of force throughout the country, the nypd conducting training for active shooters on the subways. l.a. police training for a nightmare scenario. but the bulletin states detecting homegrown radicals will be difficult, because they can act quickly and independently, with only tenuous ties to foreign handlers. and the concern is not just for here at home, that new state department alert calls on americans overseas to be vigilant as well to pay extra attention while traveling and to avoid public places where there are large crowds during this holiday season. george? robin? >> okay, pierre, a lot of fear out there. >> there is. and now to a new threat overseas and a new scare in paris. a suicide belt found in a trash can and in neighboring belgium, brussels remains at its highest alert level for at least another week. abc's matt gutman is there with the latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. brussels still very much a city on lockdown. troops and trucks still in the streets here. that, as authorities are telling

plenty of fact checks to prove that it suspect. >> reporter: despite fellow candidates like senator marco rubio and new jersey governor chris christie calling him out -- >> i think if it had happened i would remember it. but there could be things i forget, too. >> reporter: -- trump is standing firm. reading part of a "washington post" article from september 18, 2001. >> a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops. >> reporter: but the newspaper now claiming the allegations were never proven. even dr. ben carson, who first agreed with trump saying he also saw the video -- >> but did you see that happening though on 9/11? >> i saw the film of it. >> in new jersey. >> yes. >> reporter: clarifying overnight -- >> i thought we were just talking about the fact that muslims were inappropriately celebrating. i didn't know they had an agenda behind the question. >> reporter: carson apologized

after he misspoke about seeing that video. trump seized on that apology releasing this statement last night. for ben carson to make this statement and then deny it, it could be the path lodge call disease that he wrote about acting up again. george? >> you can't headachemake this one up. okay, tom, thanks very much. let's bring in jon karl and, jon, even as this is happening new polls showing donald trump back on top in iowa. >> that's right. this is a new quinnipiac poll of iowa voters that a month ago had ben carson in the lead. he's now slipped down to third place. donald trump is back on top. but the real story of this poll, george, is ted cruz. he is now neck and neck for the lead with trump. cruz has made a huge jump in just the last month, from 10% all the way up to 23%. it looks like carson's loss in this poll has been cruz's gain. he does especially well among evangelicals and get high marks on national security, look, this is just one state. but it's iowa. and it sure is an important one.

karl, thanks very much. we're going to move from politics, now, george, to that young teenage boy who made headlines when he had a clock that he made, brought it to school, they thought it was a bomb. and now he and his family are asking for millions of dollars in damages. and we have more on that story from linzie janis. >> reporter: he's the texas teen hauled out of school in handcuffs after his teachers mistook his homemade clock for a bomb. 14-year-old ahmed mohamed's arrest triggering allegations of racism. and catapulting him into the national spotlight. an outpouring of support across the country, twitter offering him an internship. google asking him to their science fair. mark zuckerberg inviting him to facebook. the young science star riding the wave all the way to the white house, accepting an invitation from president obama himself. but overnight lawyers for mohamed's family threatening to

coming up on 7:40 with "gma on the lookout" for the danger of fires caused by candles. experts say we're at the peak time of year for those potentially catastrophic accidents. the numbers soaring during the holiday season as you can imagine. 11% of candle fires begin with decorations. abc's alex perez is at underwriters laboratories there in chicago. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. that's right. we are in a laboratory and wearing protective gear just to be safe. and we actually have a firefighter standing by with us. remember that chair and that blanket that we set on fire? it's just been a little more than four minutes and take a look. it went up completely in flames. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: in chicago flames and smoke engulfing the 50th floor of the hancock tower.

>> we're getting reports of an officer down on the 50th floor. >> reporter: a police officer hospitalized for smoke inhalation, all from a fireball created by a candle in a resident's apartment. according to the chicago fire department, just as in seattle firefighters battling this fire started by an unattended candle on a houseboat. watch this cell phone video showing the dock going up in flames. >> candle fires are very dangerous. any time they get close to normal household objects like bedding, furniture, curtains, the fire is going to ignite and spread very quickly. >> reporter: nationwide more than 9,000 home fires are started by candles every year resulting in, on average, 86 deaths and $374 million in direct property damages. this video made by underwriters laboratories shows how a fire started by a candle quickly spreads to the curtains then engulfs the entire room in flames all in less than ten minutes.

how fast another fire, this time started by a blanket tossed on to a candle, can spread. >> all right. let's go. we're breathing smoke. come on. >> reporter: the fire fueled by a room filled with petroleum-based products like the cushion stuffing and wide screen tv which ul says can burn up to six types faster than natural materials. and every second counts, because ul's research shows you have just three minutes to get out. so what can you and your family do to stay safe? >> most candle fires happen because people put them too close to normal household items. >> reporter: experts say keep candles at least a foot away from other objects. keep loose clothing and hair away. and never leave a burning candle unattended. and luckily our firefighter brian is standing by here. he'll be able to put this fire out literally in just a couple of seconds. but you can imagine if this was your home, with all those synthetic materials we have, how quickly things will go up in flames.

the number one thing they say to remember never leave a candle unattended. back to you guys. >> alex, thank you very much. we were just talking amongst ourselves saying that sometimes you just -- >> it's so easy to do. >> so easy to do. >> it happens so fast. >> we saw that with alex. coming up, amazon founder jeff bezos conquering new territory in outer space. michael is going to have that for us. michael? >> yes, bezos' company successfully launching a rocket and not only did they launch it but they brought it back from space safely, softly landing it on the ground. i'm wondering does this open up space tourism? if so, i call the window seat. bezos is joining us next, live. expect new deals with historic low prices across target and target.com. hey! ginger! yes, ken? great forecast! are coffee makers on sale? yes! yes they will be... ginger! what about cameras?

oh yeah, yeah. cameras-- ginger! how about christmas lights? yeah! lights, cameras, it's all in on the action. [ laughs ] see what i did there? i sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to.

eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me.

welcome back. we have a story that really surprised us. a third grader diagnosed wit breast cancer. 8-year-old chrissy turner has a very rare form of the disease and abc's dr. jennifer ashton has her story. >> reporter: she's an enthusiastic artist and a loving little sister. >> hi,i,rianna. >> reporter: now 8-year-old chrissy turner is fighting a devastating disease normally only faced by adults. >> i was kind of scared toind of figure out what it was. >> reporter: in october chrissy came to her parents with a lump in her chest. after a series of tests, doctors diagnosed a rare form of breast cancer called secretory y carcinomom the findingsgsa huge blow to the whole family.

>> i was in shock. no child should ever have to go through cancer, and then it hits your family. it hits yoyo little one. i'i'sorry. it's devastating. >> it's been really hard emotionally. mentally everyone has been broken down. >> reporter: secretory carcinoma accounts for less than 0.15% of breast cancers and is the rarest form of the disease. dr. brian bucher is part of the team treating chrissy. >> it is very treatable. chrissy had to undergo a simple masasctomy to remove all of the remaining breast tissue to prevent this cancer from coming back. >> reporter: the turner family is no stranger to cancer. mom is a cervical cancer survivor and dad was diagnosed with non-hodgkin's lymphoma in 2008. >> it's a fear that you always have. >> reporter: chrissy's cancer is a shock. >> we're going to fight it as a family. we're going to be there for you no matter what.

>> i hope that i fight ioff. >> and dr. ashton joins us now. chrissy is clearly a fighter. thank goodness this is treatable. >> yeah, and it's incredibly rare, george. that's the take home message. there are isolated reports in the literature. youngest patient with this type of cancer, just 3 years old, the oldest, 87. generally the prognosis is good. >> so we can't emphasize it enough, it's very rare but it's going to frighten a lot of parents. what should they be paying attention to? >> when you talk about breast development in a young girl, there are a couple of things the parents should know about. number one, any dramatic changes in the breast or breast development before the age of 8. the key thing is change e one breast versus the other. that would be a concerning sign but, remember, there are other things that affect the breast that aren't cancer, trauma, infection, benign cysts. after a physical e em with the child's pediatrician, the next step is breast ultrasound and then generally a referral to a breast specialist but those are the overall warnings. >> those are the overall warning signs but, again, very, very rare. >> it's incredibib rare.

>> jen ashton, thanks very much. let's go over to michael. all right, thanks, george. part one of the epic "dancing with the stars" two-night finale kicked off with a big bang last night. last night the remaining four couples put it all on the line hoping to take home that mirrorball, but only three remain. shut up and dance with me >> here we go, one, two, one, two,o,hree. >> reporter: the final four, showing off their fantastic freestyles monday night. reporter: but it wau bindi versus the backstreet boy. hey >> reporter: tied at the top of the leaderboard that had everyone talking. arger than life >> reporter: nick carter's "larger than life"reestyle. >> the most incredible freaking awesome backstreet boy. >> reporter: and bindi with a show-stopping quick step. >> you, my dear, are the energizer bunny. >> reporter: her freretyle dance bringing the audience to tears with an emotional tribute to her dad. >> you touched everybody's soul.

changed my life, so thank you, thank you so much. >> reporter: our cameras behind the scenes exclusively ahead of tonight's big finale. >> we're going to fight. for me, you know, it's always been about my partners. >> reporter: in the end, the ballroom journey coming to a close for carlos penavega. now the stakes higher than ever. will the mirrorball go to alek, bindi or nick? larger than life now, we asked our audience online, which "dancing with the stars" celebty do uyou want to win the mirrorball trophy? here's what you had to say. 70% are rooting for bindi and derek and now we are joined by "dancing with the stars" season 18 finalist and co-host of "the view," candace cameron bure. and we saw what the audience, they think -- they want bindi to win. do you have anyone that you want to win? >> i'm on the audience's side. bindi just -- she grabbed my heart this year, and i think she's definitely the front-runner. i i ink she has it in the bag.

i think she pulled on everyone's heart strings and saw her journey and she's rike the ninist person in the world. >> and you know it was like a showstopping moment because she didn't know the picture of her dad was going to show up. and what did you think about that? i thought that was really sweet. >> i saw her get so emotional. d sometes when you're in te dance and in the moment of that audience, it can be overwhelming but there was something more to it than that and realizing after that it was because she didn't know that picture was going to go up. it just mama sense and you felt it even more. >> and the judges called alek's freestyle a dance for the ages. now, were you surprised by the freestyle? >> yeah -- well, i was surprised he was even in the finals. >> really? >> i was so excited. i didn't think he would get to the finals. he was kind of in my mind the meat of my season like something that -- >> you described him as that? >> yes. i think he's done an amazing job and i was -- i'm so happy that he made it, and i definitely

think his freestyle was s e that i'll remember forever. no one has done it like an army obstacle course. it was super cool. >> now, what about nick? nick brought back a little bit of the backstreet boys. and i'm ray big backstreet boys fan. what did you think about his freestyle? >> me too. listen, the guy knows how to move. i think he was great. i want a little bit more from nick even though he killed his routine but, you know, bindi, she stole my heart. >> and carlos, carlos made it a family affair, brought out his wife, something we've never seen before. >> and paula deen. >> yeah. yeah, and a couple of the other r ntestants from the show that season and that, i think, is the heart of carlos. i loved what he did and he killed his routine, as well. he did such a good job and i love the connection that he had with his wife and he said even their relationship grew on the show because you can see because of the competition could end up being strife or a bigger connection. >> i'm sure if there was strife at home he wouldn't have it on

the show. we got part two of the "dancing" finale is here tonight, and all the finalists are here tomorrow for tomorrow's ballroom bash. "dancing with the stars" will return for its 22nd season next year on monday, march 21st. and don't miss candace on the hallmark channel's movie "a christmas detour." make sure you watch that. all right? back to you, robin. >> thank you, michael. i've got a dance parter righghhere. jet. you know it's been 40 years since "rocky" won the oscar for best picture. now sylvester stone is getting back in the ring, generating oscar buzz again in one ofhe biggest movies of this fall, this time around, you know what, jet, he's a trainer. he's helping a young boxer prepare for the biggest fight of his life in "creed." >> because i said to myself, if i break, if i'm huhu, whatever i ain't going to fix it. why bother. >> and i'm just some bum living in your career, there's nothing. >> you're a go kid, a good fighter, but you g g your whole future ahead of you. mine, it's back there like all

back, in the past. >> yeah, they still got it. still got it. i loved all the "rocky" movies and loved this one too, watched it the other night, "creed," and it seems like the natural evolution for "rocky." >> what made it so extraordinary because of this journey that rocky takes, it was presented by a man in his late 20s or 27 ars old, who just bebeme fixated on extending the story but also bringing in a new character, creed, who kindndf speaks to what's happening today more like the millennials whereas rocky was the voice of the '70s and '80s, this fellow is speaking about the problems and issues that face younger people today. >> and so let's bring people up to speed. creed, of course is the son of -- >> apollo creed, who is my friend, mentor and the fellow who changed my life, and so he

object to me. i said, you know, i've always revered him then he died because of me in "rocky iv," so i always lived in this dark regret and all of a sudden a song appears and comes at a particular time when rock yy has sort of given up on lili. >> michael b bjordan. >> yeah. >> tell us a aut what it was like working with this young man. does he have it? >> yeah, he does have it, and that's why i thinkjhe's going to industry because people are interested in watching him. > want to show a picture of you with the greatest of all time, muhammad ali. >> of course. >> and you've always said is it about boxing and something that you were drawn to with that? >> there's two things, i think. speed and fighting. in other words, racing, we're always racing againstime in one sense orornother, and i think when you see it portrayed

and then you see a fighter like an ali or someone, you embrace the whole because it's more than just a fight. it's touching you on a level that you may not even be aware of subconsciously. >> that's a wonderful ththg. and your beautiful family. >> oh, my god. >> oh, my god, and your daughter modeling. >> oh, my god. >> i know you' proud of all your children. >> i am. every one of them are beautiful and every one has a special ability and sistine and sofia is in usc. and sistine is trying to make her own name. >> much like this guy was trying to make his own nameme >> there it is. >> well, you deserve every blessing coming your way. thank you so much. >> always great to be here, seriously. >> you know what, he was here yesterday, sly, and he took a picture with the crew, always doing this thing, you know, do the rocky thing, took picture after picture after picture. one of the great guys and, "creed," you saw it too. >> yeah. i mean, michael b. jordan also a great, great guy. i mean just so personalable and the movie is awesome. loved it. >> can't wait to see it. >> me too. >> you canait until tomorrow because "creed" opens in theaters tomomrow.
