thank you. we're going to turn to a growing scandal at v.a. hospitals, after at least 40 veterans died while waiting to see doctors at a v.a. facility in phoenix. there are new charges this morning about a possible cover-up. and new questions about the future of the official in charge of veterans affairs. that secretary facing calls to resign. >> reporter: he sure is, george. the allegations here are explosive. not only have veterans died waiting for medical care. but that the v.a. hospital in phoenix was allegedly covering up just how long vets were waiting by keeping and then destroying a secret waiting list. now you have general shinseki very much in the hot seat. fixing the backlog of medical claims was to be one of his top priorities, if not the top priority. he's facing calls from republican senators to resign. and more significantly, the american legion, one of the most influential veterans groups in the country is saying it is time for him to go because he is responsible for what they called bureaucratic incompetence and failed leadership.

>> that's a powerful group. but the white house and secretary shinseky both digging in. >> reporter: that's right. we heard late yesterday from the white house, saying the president has complete confidence in shinseki. and he has made tremendous progress. that's the words the white house used in dealing with the backlog of medical claims. of course, this allegation of a cover-up puts a lot of that in question. >> it sure does. we're going to have a lot more on sunday on "this week." and martha raddatz has an exclusive interview with defense secretary chuck hagel. >> all right, george. to the growing tensions with russia and the massive show of military might this morning similar to the soviet days. a huge military parade, as president vladimir putin arrived in crimea weeks after it became part of russia again. abc's terry moran is right there in crimea with the story. good morning to you, terry. >> reporter: good morning. president putin has just arrived in this historic russian naval port. until a couple of weeks ago, it was part of ukraine, now claimed by russia. this is a day of extraordinary

personal triumph for putin, in the face of western sanctions and criticism. he is taking to what amounts to a defiant victory lap. like a conquering hero from another age, vladimir putin toured the harbor of this city, bask eving in theed a ration of this pro-russian crowd. it began this morning in moscow. putin flanked by political deputies had a show of military might that echoed soviet displays during the cold war. 11,000 troops, 150 military vehicles and missiles, 70 aircraft roaring overhead. "we will protect russia, its glorious history and first and foremost protect our homeland,"

he told the adoring crowd. he is riding sky high right now. but for all the chest-thumping and defiance, he's stepped back from the armed forces, pro-russian separatists. they have called for a vote on sunday, and putin called for it to be canceled. he says he pulled back troops from the border though u.s. officials say they see no sign of it. and other parts of the ukraine with solidly divided, this part is pro-russian. and to the people here, vladimir putin is a hero. >> it's calm there, but there's new reports of violence in other parts of eastern ukraine today. >> thank you so much. let's get to the other top stories this morning with amy robach. good morning, amy. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with new concerns in that search for nearly 300 schoolgirls abducted by militants in nigeria. this morning, u.n. officials are calling for the international

search effort to expand to three neighboring countries, after nigerian government officials indicated for the first time they now believe the girls have been separated and taken out of the country. the first u.s. military experts are there on the ground, aiding in that search effort. republicans on capitol hill are opening an eighth investigation on the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi. today democrats are meeting to decide whether to boycott the new investigation, calling it election year politics. and a dramatic scene near seattle. a man drove his car into puget sound, quickly becoming submerged in ten feet of water. complete strangers dove in and helped police officers break through the car window with an axe, pulling man out of the seat belt and pulling him 30 feet to shore. and then performing cpr. this is incredible. he is recovering even though he was underwater for up to eight minutes. growing outrage after police in a small texas town shot and killed a 93-year-old woman. they say she was waving a gun

when they responded to a 911 call at her home. pearly golden, seen here on the right, died of two gunshot wounds. protesters have marched on that police station. and the mayor is recommending the officer be fired. an elementary school in philadelphia is the latest american school accused of trying to cheat to get ahead. a principal and four teachers at kauga elementary are accused of changing answers on student exams to boost their scores. teachers who refused to cheat were allegedly punished. scores have dropped 60% since a recent crackdown. it could be apple's biggest deal yet. the company is reportedly in talks to pay $3 billion for beats electronics. that's the headphone company co-founded by rap star, dr. dre. the deal would include beats music streaming service and would make dr. dre the world's richest rapper. finally, this really is one whale of a tale. can you guess what's coming next? a humpback became trapped in fishing lines off australia. look at what happened when a local fisherman intervened.

he grabbed his knife, he jumped right into the water. at first, the whale tried to swim away and escape. but the fisherman, joe, swam even closer. he was able to cut the rope around this baby whale. his tail was caught and set it free. and joe called it the best feeling he will ever have. >> i love joe. >> joe did a great job there. >> free willy, free willy. >> yeah. >> thanks, amy. we're going to turn to the l.a. clippers controversy. embattled owner donald sterling is sounding off in a new recording. saying he's not a racist, can't be forced to sell his team. abc's ryan smith has all the latest. >> reporter: for the first time since his racist rant leaked two weeks ago today, l.a. clippers owner donald sterling is heard answering the question, is he a racist? >> you think i have anything in the world but love for everybody? you don't think that. you know i'm not a racist. >> reporter: listening to sterling, ironically on another

taped conversation with an unidentified friend. and released by radar online, explains how he can't be a racist in the business of the nba. >> how can you be in this business and be a racist? do you think i tell the coach to get white players? or to get the best player he can get? >> reporter: and as defiant as ever when it comes to keeping his team. >> you can't force someone to sell property in america. >> reporter: sterling takes on one of his biggest critics, after his rant to his then-assistant v. stiviano, seemingly stemming from this picture she took with magic johnson. >> it bothers me a lot if you want to broadcast you're associating with black people. >> reporter: johnson's response was swift and firm. >> he's got to give up the team. >> it breaks my heart that magic johnson, a guy that i respect so much, wouldn't stand up and say, well, let's get the facts. let's get him and talk to him. >> reporter: and while sterling speaks on race, his wife, shelly, through her attorney, is staking her claim as co-owner of the team and sending a message

to the nba. >> any suggestion that she would be involuntarily ridden out of town or have her property seized by the nba, it's not going to happen. >> reporter: something that according to clippers coach doc rivers, may not sit well with her own team. >> i guarantee every person would not be onboard with that. whether i would or not, i'm not going to say. >> reporter: donald sterling said growing up in east l.a. and being class president of a diverse high school there, along with his jewish background should mean that, quote, people must have a good feeling about me on matters of race. that's what he said on the tape. as for the team, they face off against the oklahoma thunder tonight in the playoffs, hoping to put this latest distraction behind them. george, lara. >> that can't be easy. this is going to be a long fight. >> no kidding. thank you george and ryan. now, we turn to a new study that could have parents thinking twice about what they feed their kids. it shows how much artificial food dye there is in some popular foods. dyes that some doctors and parents say can affect your children's behavior.

and here more with that is abc's chief health and medical editor, dr. richard besser. dr. b., why should we as parents or all of us be concerned about artificial food dye? >> for most people artificial food dye isn't going to cause a problem. but for a small group of children and some with behavioral problems, food dyes are going to worsen their behavior. you have no idea if your children is going to be one of those. >> a lot of our viewers are about to pour a bowl of cereal right now. what do parents need to know? how much? how little? what do we need to know? >> yeah, well, start -- definitely. look at your breakfast table. a lot of the foods you may be looking at right now. the breakfast cereals. the sweet cereals with bright colors, those are artificial dyes. processed cakes, some breakfast bars. they have artificial dyes. and hopefully nothing you have at breakfast, candy and sodas. a lot have dyes in them. >> like the skittles i ate last night probably should be taken -- >> exactly. >> taken seriously. all right. should parents blanket-avoid these foods or be more cautious?

>> there's things you can do. look at the food. if it's not a color you find in nature, odds are, it's artificial. so, read the label. if you see a color followed by a number. blue-1, red-40, yellow-6. that means it's an artificial dye. if you want to avoid those dyes, avoid those. i'm as concerned about the sugar in there, as well. artificial dyes go with a lot of added sugar. >> really important information to know. dr. b., we thank you, as always. we want to say we reached out to the international food information council which said that current research on artificial food colors found them to be safe and not to cause hyperactivity in children. we're going to get the latest on a new initiative to stop a wave of cell phone thefts. california could become the first state in the company that would require software in all smartphones that would shut them down if stolen. neal karlinsky has the story. >> reporter: this morning, state lawmakers are cracking down. trying to make scenes like these

less fremont. thieves ripping them out of people's hands on bussing, subways, even at gunpoint on a city street. a crime so common it even has a name, apple picking. >> i define it as a crime of convenience. if we can end the convenience, we can end the crime. >> reporter: it's not just iphones. a new study reveals smartphones of all kinds have been robbed from one in ten owners. now, a new killswitch bill is closer to becoming law in california. approved thursday by the state senate, it would be the first state in the nation trying to protect people by forcing smartphone makers to preload a so-called killswitch, a way to digitally lock down a phone if it's stolen. tech companies initially bristled at the idea of being told what to do. but this week they said two of the biggest smartphone makers, apple and microsoft at least eased their opposition. >> they don't think it's terrible technology. once you tell them they have to do it, they think it's not such a great idea because of pressure, i believe, from the carrier partners, who want to

sell you replacement phones to the tune of billions of dollars a year. >> reporter: it's not just about the loss of a gadget. megan boken lost her life over her phone. >> she was targeted because she was talking on her smartphone. >> reporter: a proposed federal law is working its way through congress as well, trying to cut down on a wave of crime by making phones useless to anyone but the owner. for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, seattle. >> thank you so much. now, switching gears now. a lot of suspense, big drama, at last night's nfl draft which was held right here in new york. at a packed radio city music hall yesterday. linzie janis is in social square with who went where. linzie? >> reporter: good morning. the top hash tags on twitter were all related to the draft. and for the first time, each player celebrating with his own walkup music. jadeveon clowney going to the houston texans as the number one pick. he chose that song you're

earlier yesterday. making it a really awesome day. >> a big day for him. he and his bride-to-be, going to go to the detroit lions. we have a lot more of the draft tonight on espn at 8:00 p.m. eastern. now back to ginger. a lot of drier weather today where there were storms yesterday. >> we're going to get into that. and this gorgeous picture. >> yeah, look at that. >> i want to say to eric's fiance, brittany, i'm a detroit lions fan. and i'm getting married, too. we could talk. we have a lot of things to chat about. see this picture. a double-rainbow. and a rain shaft right in the middle there. from koco, an affiliate, one of the photojournalists, matt, took that. really a nice shot. it gives you an idea of what's happening behind the cold front. it's not that cool in texas. chicago, yesterday, almost 90. and today, in the 70s. much cooler. a little unsettled out in the west. your local forecast coming up in 30 seconds. but first the weekend getaway brought to you by royal caribbean international.

trying to figure out exactly how and perhaps most importantly, why, this family died. this morning, a stunning revelation about the family of four found dead inside this burning million-dollar mansion owned by tennis star james blake. this surveillance video obtained by abc news, shows darrin campbell, who lived in the home with his wife and two kids, as he stocked his cart and then purchased $650 worth of fireworks from a shop in tampa bay just three days before the fire. the vice president of phantom fireworks, speaking with us overnight. >> he didn't say anything or do anything to raise any eyebrows in the showroom. the type of products he purchased, the amount he spent was pretty typical. >> reporter: the sheriff's office said fireworks were found throughout the over 7,000-square-foot mansion. and that campbell also purchased several cans of gasoline. >> the fireworks could have been used to ignite and keep the fire aflame. >> reporter: while investigators

believe the fire was set intentionally, we're now learning the fire may not be what killed the family. >> what i can confirm to you is that all four individuals were shot. the firearm was recovered in the residence that was registered to mr. campbell. >> reporter: the house's owner, retired tennis star james blake, renting the home out to darrin campbell and his wife, kim, for the last two years. their children, 19-year-old collin, a high school baseball standout. and 16-year-old megan, a dancer. their grandfather, on their mother's side, is in complete shock. >> i just lost one of my two children and my grandchildren. and i have no reason to believe there was anything wrong. >> reporter: this morning, police say they are not looking for any suspect, though they are not ready to call this a murder/suicide. >> we're not leaving any stone unturned on this case. >> reporter: we should tell you, the medical examiner has not officially identified the

using lasers and spoke to enhance their beams, the prosecution trying to deflect the defense's claim of shoddy policework. >> the crime scene was absolutely not as it should have been. there was books taken out of the bookrack and put on to the blood. >> reporter: that's the defense's ace witness, a top ballistics expert. he would physically re-enact the shooting. the first bullet hitting reeva's hip. the next one, in the arm. >> collapse down, after the first shot. >> reporter: making the point that reeva wasn't in a defensive position when shot, suggesting there was no fiery argument between what was then south africa's "it" couple before the shooting. starting his testimony yesterday, he is a ballistic expert of seemingly unassailable authority, until gerrie nel began to assail him. >> the question is have you furnished the defense with a report of this? >> i think i answered the question. >> reporter: now known as the bull terrier, accusing him of unethically consulting with

pistorius and burying an earlier report he had compiled. >> why would you not want us to see your earlier report? >> reporter: he denied it, back pedaling, repeating, his memory had failed him. >> i can't remember the date, my lady. my lady, i said i can't remember. >> reporter: now, the defense has yet to explain why oscar pistorius fired into that door, knowing someone was behind it and knowing that it was illegal to do so. and time is running out for them. they only have a few witnesses left. but expect them to bring someone like a psychologist to the stand to explain pistorius' frame of mind that night and maybe his sense of vulnerability. lara? >> matt, thank you so much. let's go to ginger right now with the weather. >> i have one of those ah pictures to start with. let's do that. let's go to florida. how about hollywood beach? we look for temperatures to reach into the mid-80s. that's why i have that big number. we have a live look. that's from our affiliate down there. oh. how pretty. yeah. you're welcome. no problem.

i was smart enough to make her my adviser. she broke into the business in a huge way when she changed the way we look at margaritas. with bethenny's advice and our mixology, we were able to get that down to less than 200 calories in a long island iced tea. and it tastes delicious. this is a modern twist on an iconic classic. it's nostalgic. >> i have to drink some. >> would you like a cocktail, anybody? >> i would. >> i loved long island iced teas when i was in college. >> i had a feeling. >> and i gained a few pounds along the way. >> and nobody has done it. i bought the website already, strongislandicedtea. >> you're serious about this. >> how far along are you in the process? >> because i had the opportunity to meet with you, you guys have pushed me along. long island iced tea is a wonderful drink. but it could be infused with

peach, with raspberry, with mint, in the winter months, pomegranate, spice. >> because we're sitting next to kevin o'leary, we're all alcoholics. >> how many calories? it tastes sweet. >> it's just under 200 calories. >> is there any artificial sweetener? >> there's no artificial sweetener. >> here's what i think the reality is. the strong island, that's a great connection to you being from long island. that's great. to everybody else who doesn't understand that, it's just going to be about how strong the alcohol is. and that's going to work everywhere. that's good. >> now, the moment of truth. the sharks will hand out scores from one to five. >> i think you have a 5. you have a viable idea. you were very smart to bring a distribution partner to the table that's done it once before. it's hard to get distribution in this business. but i tried the product. that's the first test. it was excellent. >> my score's contingent on getting that babe as your partner, bethenny. what do you think? should i make it a 5? >> i think you should make it a 5 because i'm going to give her all of the advice and all of the connections. and i am a woman who pays it forward and helps other women.

and i want her to succeed. >> it's still a 4 if she's not your partner. >> i give lara a 5 for strong island iced tea. i like the idea. it has a chance to be huge. and with your connection to bethenny, she can help you get there. so, that combination is a win-win combination. >> i'm going to give you a 4. i think you have a good idea. your whole sexy thing about it. that's the vibe that brought you to wanting to do it. i think you have a shot here. >> the liquor company's biggest problem are to get females to drink. when females are drunk, guys come around. i think it's a 5. >> thank you so much. >> they enjoyed it. >> i know. >> they're still drinking it. >> it was great. it was awesome. you're amazing. >> thank you. thank you. thank you. >> you lived up to the hype.

23-plus so far. that was a great idea. and it came from such a deep place. >> no more vodka on the rocks. poor lara. >> saleswoman. you were. >> it's the drink of the islands. bethenny frankel, amazing, thank you. you asked, what are the secret ingredients? i don't want to say. we used her skinny girl stevia. her vodka. she has all different flavors. she is genius. and i love women helping other women. thank you for letting us raid your bar. >> let's look at the scores right now. for strong island iced tea, two 5s. let's look at the leaderboard. the final score, 23-plus, for strong island iced tea. lara jumps way into the lead. >> amazing, lara. >> thank you. >> i can't wait to try it. >> i need to test it out. >> i've been dreaming of strong island iced tea for years. to make it a reality, yay. >> we want to know what the viewers think, too.
