good morning, america. breaking at this hour for the first time ever the u.s. government set to accuse another country of dangerous hacking affecting our national security. china in the crosshairs stealing our secrets. criminal charges expected as early as today. happening now, dramatic images of massive and historic flooding. tens of thousands of people fleeing cities under water. homes swept away by landslides. months of rain in just days. new details on that potentially deadly respiratory disease, mers, spreading in the u.s. the first case transmitted on american soil now reported. what we know this morning about how it spread. ♪ and the king of pop resurrected in a remarkable

performance that was a "thriller" at the billboard music awards. just how did they do it? all capping off a night where j.t. scored big. and this very special duet burned down the house. what really happened backstage? you'll see it only on "gma." >> good morning, america. and we do say good morning, america. we hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. what a night last night in las vegas. >> i will a say. >> everyone still talking about this. michael jackson on that stage, the brand-new song that was not an impostor. that much we can tell you for sure. >> that is so eerie. look at that. >> it looks so real. it looks like he's there.

it is so good to see you, michael. >> yes. it was a moment. >> it was. we'll solve the mystery ahead. we begin with breaking news. an unprecedented crackdown on cybercrime for the first time ever the u.s. is directly targeting a foreign government. abc's chief justice consultant pierre thomas. pierre, that target is china. >> reporter: good morning, george. we're expecting big news in the war against cybercrime. abc news learned for the first time ever the u.s. government is going to accuse another country of hacking u.s. business interests to gain unfair economic advantage. the diplomacy implications are enormous as the justice department is expected to announce criminal charges as early as today against government officials in a foreign country. as you say china is the focus. intelligence officials have long believed that the chinese government has been engaged in a state-sponsored hacking and economic espionage stealing so much research and development from u.s. companies that it's affecting national security, george. >> so, pierre, can the fbi can actually arrest chinese officials and how do they expect the chinese to respond?

>> reporter: that's the prickly issue, george. these government officials are international fugitives but it'll be difficult if they don't leave china. as far as the response, unclear how the chinese will respond since this has never happened before but they probably won't like it. >> this is a big day. another major crackdown on an international ring that's reaching right into american homes. >> that's right. a huge case expected out of new york today where prosecutors will announce the results of an international takedown that will show how hackers can touch you right in your home. these hackers arrested in more than 18 countries developing software, allowing criminals to secretly take control of home computers. they can monitor as people use them for financial transactions and in some cases can turn on your home computers and secretly film you in your bedrooms. >> wow. so many dangers online. pierre, thanks so much. >> big news right there. to that potentially deadly respiratory virus, mers is on the move this morning. the very first case transmitted right here on u.s. soil. abc's steve osunsami has the latest and joins us from cdc headquarters in atlanta.

good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, robin. investigators here at the cdc say they are still not 100% sure how this disease is spread. it's the first known transmission of this potentially deadly respiratory disease on u.s. soil. an illinois businessman testing possible for mers on friday. his first test was negative. he never felt sick. doctors had already sent him home for two weeks then cleared him for travel when they discovered that his body had fought and killed the virus. here's how they think he caught it. he had extended face-to-face contact with patient number 1, an indiana man who flew in with the disease from saudi arabia. they had two 40-minute meetings, sat six feet apart and shook hands. health officials are watching anyone who had close contact with both men. >> we're offering the opportunity to be tested and reassured and exclude it. >> reporter: the cdc says it's still much easier to catch the flu or the common cold telling

us most new cases will come from the arabian peninsula. >> travel season is to the peninsula is about to kick off. we've got pilgrimage holidays and ramadan coming up at the end of june. >> reporter: this morning, health departments in at least 30 states are working with federal health officials to track down passengers who shared flights with patient number 1 and patient number 2 who had to be hospitalized in orlando. both men flew from saudi arabia. they underline that this is a new disease. that it isn't terribly contagious but does kill, more than 160 people have already died from this. most of them in the middle east. robin. >> we do have to keep that in mind. thank you. for more we turn to dr. richard besser who spent many years there at the cdc. in fact, that's where you were before we were lucky enough to have you join us. remind us again what mers is. >> stands for the middle eastern respiratory syndrome and it's a respiratory infection that can lead to pneumonia and the concerning thing is that up to a

third of people, 30%, can die from this infection. >> the concern about its spreading here in the u.s. where does that stand? >> this weekend it was really a big turn in this investigation. the concerning thing is the person who got the infection only spent 40 minutes with the infected patient. 40 minutes face to face and a handshake. that's very concerning. the encouraging thing is although he was infected, he didn't get sick. his body fought it off. >> we don't know if that's the norm. that has to be of concern. >> i talked to the cdc last night. how serious really is this infection? how serious is this infection? could there be a lot of people that get it but have no problem? until they answer it they'll be all over it. >> yeb -- yes, they're going to stay on it. thanks. there was a big move in the business world. a blockbuster merger that could create major changes in how we pay for television and connect to the internet. at&t is buying directv for nearly $50 billion and abc's david kerley is here with what these details could mean for

you, good morning, david. >> reporter: this deal is about getting bigger and competing with other behemoths who want to be the ones that you pay for your internet connection and tv. the $48 billion deal, which will launch at&t deeper into tv space quickly, provides not only satellite content but also be able to provide tv on mobile phones as well. adding directv's 20 million subscribers will make the phone company number two behind comcast and comcast is also trying to get bigger as we speak attempting to convince regulators that it should be allowed to buy time warner. that would solidify its position as number one, the number one source for pay content. now, the bigger these companies are, george, the more leverage they have with the producers of that content. the tv networks and the cable networks. >> does it give them power to raise prices for consumers? >> yes, what will it mean for you and me? at&t says it will provide more competition. in announcing the deal, it says directv will allow it to provide

customers with new, competitive choices. we'll see what the regulators say. >> okay, david, thanks very much. this morning's other top stories from amy. good morning, everyone. we begin with breaking news from florida where a search is under way for a swimmer who may have been caught up in powerful rip currents. lifeguards on daytona beach spotted the swimmer in distress last night but then he vanished in the rough surf before they could get to him. sunday's strong rip currents led to dozens of rescues and remains high today. more breaking news. a possible easing of tensions between russia and ukraine. this morning russia's president ordered all of the troops stationed near ukraine back to their bases. so far nato says it is not seeing any changes on the ground. and three months worth of rain has fallen in just three days across the balkans. sweeping homes like this one from their foundations. the unprecedented flooding has now threatened to swamp serbia's main power plant. dozens have already died and entire towns have been washed away leaving tens of thousands homeless. california's governor is warning the state is bracing for

what could be the worst wildfire season ever. four fires are still burning near san diego. at least 47 homes are destroyed and so far, damage estimates are more than $20 million. and fire fighters at a home near san diego found themselves under fire. you hear that? that's ammunition stored inside this garage firing itself off. bullets were flying. luckily no one seriously injured but one firefighter hit on the nose by a shell casing. near boston a public bus crashed through a guardrail and nearly plunged onto the turnpike below. the bus dangled for hours until crews were able to tow it away. eight people including the driver were injured. and giving a whole new meaning to swimming trunks or at least one swimming trunk. let's take a look. sunbathers on florida's gulf coast over the weekend saw that. an elephant caught on video just wading into the ocean. it was reportedly a guest at a private birthday party. and finally, what a nice

young man caught on camera over the weekend, or a slick young man. you see here a third base coach tossing a foul ball to a young rangers fan, but, wait. if you take a look, he seems like a young casanova. right? let's take a closer look, though. he already made a ball, made a switch-a-roo and handed the other ball to the young woman sitting behind him. she seems thrilled. she's obviously thinking she got that foul ball. but the smooth operator kept the real ball in his own glove. >> smooth operator. >> smooth operator. i say, young ladies, watch out for this young man. >> he's slick. >> yes, he is. >> we're on to him, aren't we? >> she seemed happy. >> everybody wins. >> yeah. thanks, amy. now to anger surrounding the long delayed opening of the 9/11 memorial museum. some victims' families are outraged about the admission price and gift shop at a museum housing human remains. abc's gio benitez is there at ground zero. good morning, gio.

>> reporter: good morning, robin. those remains are in a private room underground, but in the same building as that gift shop and so this morning some of the families tell me they are furious. this morning, the 9/11 memorial museum set to open to the public this friday is at the center of an intense debate. some 9/11 families pointing to the pricey coffee mugs, t-shirts, key chains and stuffed animals sold in the gift shop inside. and they're upset about the museum's $24 entrance fee. why? because the museum also houses some 8,000 unidentified human remains from those terrorist attacks. so as long as that sort of tomb of the unknowns is there, you're not going to walk in. >> no, i'm not going to walk in. >> reporter: jim lost his 29-year-old son, a firefighter, in the 9/11 attacks. it took more than six months to find some of his son's remains, the rest, he believes are unidentified and in that

repository. >> my son's friend will have to pay $24 to go down to pay their respects. i think that's a disgrace. it's the only cemetery in the world where you have to pay a fee to get in. >> reporter: another family telling abc news they are appalled by greed and commercialism. i wouldn't expect such an intrusion at arlington cemetery or at the pentagon memorial or at any cemetery. >> take the remains out of the museum and then i think there will be less opposition to the selling of the trinkets and the hats and shirts. sfw sfwlr. >> reporter: in a statement museum representatives tell abc news news -- "the museum receives no government funding and relies on private fund raising, gracious donations and revenue from ticketing and care phil selected keepsake items for retail." >> my son's helmet was crushed. we to want see it do well. let's never let it happen again. >> reporter: by the way, a lot of these items have been on sale for years here at an official gift shop at the memorial. the difference, the families say, is that now they are so

close to those human remains. robin and george. >> you can understand the families' emotion. thank you. we'll switch gears. what a weekend for california chrome. one race away from becoming the first winner of the triple crown in 36 years after his win in the preakenss. he started using a nasal strip to breathe better but may not be able to use them in the belmont stakes which means he may not be able to run. paula faris has the story. good morning. >> reporter: they're calling california chrome america's horse for a good reason. it's the ultimate underdog story. two everyday guys with a dollar and a dream buy a horse for next to nothing and now they are on the doorstep of history. >> california chrome reaching for the wire. >> reporter: with its win at the preakness over the weekend, california chrome is one gallop closer to horse racing's most elusive and exclusive club, the triple crown. something that has not been achieved since affirmed swept the kentucky derby, preakness and belmont in 1978.

for california chrome, it's the ultimate underdog tale. >> this little horse is bringing people together to say, you know what? the little guy can do it. >> reporter: the 3-year-old colt comes from a humble pedigree and his co-owners, steve coburn and perry martin, are not your average millionaire horse breeders. they're two middle class guys who decided to buy california chrome's mother for just 8,000 bucks on a whim. it was a choice one groomer called pretty dumb. but coburn and martin took it in stride even naming their operation "dap racing" short for dumb ass partners. >> this is a feel-good story. these are every-men who come from nothing and out of nowhere with their first horse, the first time they tried to breed a horse. >> reporter: so what's behind the colt's unlike lie success? some credit his signature nasal strips which he started wearing to maximize oxygen flow just as winning streak began.

but his owners aren't breathing easy this morning after learning that his strips may have to go before the belmont. >> it is not necessarily illegal in new york. you just have to ask permission. >> reporter: nasal strips or not these long shots find themselves at the edge of history with a major colt following. >> never give up on your dream because they do come true and i'm living proof of it. >> reporter: and as for those nasal strips, no one in horse racing truly believes that it gives california chrome an unfair advantage. it's just much more about comfort and, george, as we know in sport, superstition. >> on a hot streak. >> it's not against the rules or anything. you just got to ask permission. hopefully they will. it's such a feel-good story. >> would love to see that. yeah. lara, what a night last night. >> another feel-good story. it was an amazing night at the billboard music awards in las vegas. so many captivating performances and somehow the king of pop managed to top them all. ♪ old but i'm not that old

>> reporter: star-studded and show-stopping. the billboard music awards were jam packed with the hottest musical acts, present and past. and an amazing feat. that is not an impersonator. ♪ the technical wizardry not only brought michael jackson center stage, it had the whole world scratching its head. ♪ and katy perry taking her birthday performance up, up and away. ♪ like a birthday every day >> justin timberlake. >> reporter: justin timberlake won seven awards, including top artist. but made sure not to thank one person in particular. >> everybody on earth except, except donald sterling. >> from no love lost to winning back a lost love. robin thicke tried to clear up blurred lines between him and his estranged wife, paula patton, while accepting the award for best r and b song.

>> i'd like to thank my wife for her love and support and for putting up with me all these years. >> reporter: later in the show he debuted a song he wrote for her called "get her back." ♪ what i want to do is get you back ♪ ♪ >> reporter: and there were other buzz-worthy moments. carrie underwood and miranda lambert performing "something bad" together. ♪ lucy in the sky with diamonds ♪ >> reporter: there was miley channeling her inner beatle and ke$ha making one of her first appearances since leaving rehab for an eating disorder. 17-year-old "royals" sensation lorde -- >> thank you so much. >> reporter: took home top new artist and top rock song. ♪ i know a little bit something good ♪ >> reporter: but it was jennifer lopez who made history becoming the first woman ever to take home the icon award. >> thank you. i love you. good night. >> jennifer lopez looking good. the biggest moment of the night by far on both social and search

distraction, politicos say the harm to the campaign may be further down the road. >> it's a state that votes by mail. you have a huge chunk of vote that have been signed and seals. the timing is someone had the general election rather than the primary. >> reporter: in a statement wehby says the relationship ended amicably and is "not pleased that it has been deemed newsworthy," a personal conflict turned political. miller now says he reyets making the 911 call and never pursued any legal action against wehby. we should note wehby was never arrested in connection with those accusations. >> okay. thank you, mara. all right, there, george. now to that pro surfer and model charged in a mysterious case of road rage. in custody after allegedly hitting an older woman with her car on purpose. abc's john muller has the story. >> reporter: this morning, the self-proclaimed surfer and model portrayed in this t.e.d. talks video spreading her spiritual message. >> never lying, cheating, stealing again, just making those changes, my life has

claiming in "the new york times" op-ed, "hungry, here's why," that not all calories are the same. and that we are getting hungrier because we're getting fatter. huh? >> if you choose certain foods that are more satiating like protein is the most satiating nutrient, then you will feel fuller throughout the day and you'll be less likely to crave refined carbohydrates and sugary foods, and this could be helpful in terms of weight loss. >> here's how the theory works. diets high in sugar and other simple carbs may prompt the body to store more calories as fat making it hard for your body to access or use them and ultimately re-triggering your hunger. another idea that doctors bring up, the set point theory. >> it basically says that we each have an individual set point that is genetically determined and that set point is the weight at which our body is most comfortable, and it's a weight that really resists change. >> and low fat may not be the answer.

foods marketed as low calorie or diet can actually be loaded with sugar. so what can you eat? the answer may surprise you, or maybe not. joining us now, abc news chief health and medical editor, dr. richard besser, back with us. your take? >> i was really blown away by this. when i was in medical school i was taught a calorie is a calorie, and so if you want to lose weight you just cut back on calories, but we're learning more and more how you get those calories makes a big difference. certain things like sugar affect us in a different way than protein and fats. they're more likely to make us hungry and more likely to go and form fat. >> the other aspect of this as you were talking about when we sat down, the set point. >> that makes sense to me. >> yeah, it is. what they're saying, our genetics define what that set point is, but the more we're exposed to these simple sugars, it can creep up our set point. >> can you bring it down? can you bring down your set point? >> well, it hasn't been tested, but what they hope is that by cutting back on those sugars, you're going to be able to gradually lower that set point

so you're not continually hungry when you cut back on your calories. >> bottom line this for us. because people are waking up this morning going, huh, what are you saying here? >> for some the big surprise will be that low fat diet that the heart association and others have put forward is really not the way to go. that the problem is when you cut out that fat, especially in processed foods, they add in all the sugar so the stuff tastes good. so you have to be careful. you want to cut out sugar, you want to make sure that you're shopping at the periphery of the store and not getting that processed food in. the chips, the crackers, they're loaded with -- >> they make you hungry. >> they make you hungry. give you a quick rush in sugar and plummets and you're hungry and you're trying to maintain that level in terms of set points. so if you shift your focus and think i don't want to be just

low fat. it's i want to cut down on simple sugar and go for the whole grain. we talk about the mediterranean diet can i think get you there but it has to be proven. you want to go for fruits and vegetables and you want to cut down on simple sugar, the sodas and you want to look for that balance. >> tell you what, if that's the perimeter of the store. >> it's true. >> it really is. you walk around there. that's where you see all the good stuff. >> right. >> thanks, rich. >> thank you, rich. also burning up our "heat index" this morning, it sounds like a sci-fi movie. a team of researchers here in the u.s. are saying they're on the path to reading our dreams, reading our minds based on a new brain scanning technology. i guess scientists showed volunteers a series of facial images, and they were able to record the brain's response to the different features like smiles or skin color, and then using that information they were able to re-create the images based only on the brain's response. so i guess if you're dreaming after you've been through this, they can display the image of what your brain is scanning up on a screen. >> wow. >> crazy. >> that is. >> would you want to do that? >> what's the benefit? >> no. >> you don't want to know. >> no. >> why? what kind of dreams are you having? >> i watch a lot of horror movies, robin.

>> oh. >> one big bonus could be if they could actually read the images on someone's -- a victim of a crime. >> oh, yeah. >> oh, wow, right. >> they could find out who the perpetrator was. >> incredible. and they do say that analyzing your dreams can really help you sort of make breakthroughs in your personal life so maybe. i don't know. >> there's something there. there's something there. >> there is something there. >> it's certainly -- >> not so much for amy. >> i was thinking dreams are a delete button like i want it to go away like just get that out. don't want to relive it. >> all right. well, let's talk about some good tv then. >> i want to know about your dreams. >> me too. i do too. i feel like there's a glass of wine and long conversation. john stamos is asking a blogger to have mercy. the star of "full house" from the '90s is referring to a "huff post" blog that says "full house" and "friends" gave her unrealistic expectations about life. the blogger says in real life -- >> it's just tv. >> in real life people don't chase after you when you run

away. it says it's not likely your neighbor will be, you know, some hottie and turn into a romantic prospect. stamos responded with a facebook post that was very much in keeping with what you're saying. he said he agrees that there is some silly stuff -- >> sure, sure. >> -- done in the tv show. but there's more good than bad. and there's a lot of positive messaging, as well. he's sorry if she didn't take that from shows like his, but that he hopes that she will reconsider. >> and he was joking. if you think that was bad, try "breaking bad." watch "breaking bad." and see what you think. >> my kids like it. they watch "full house." they get a lot out of it. >> television and movies are what they seem to be. they're entertainment, escapism. they're not supposed to be exact real life. >> it went massively viral, his response. a lot of people saying, yeah, you know, that there are actually good things. and i agree with his point about shows like "breaking bad." >> a lot of shows out there. >> "game of thrones," anyone? >> how about "house of cards" because oscar winner kevin

spacey is igniting a firestorm with his selfie taken alongside the mexican president. he tweeted, one of these presidents is real. the actor, of course, plays frank underwood in the netflix drama, "house of cards," but now things have gotten political with a "forbes" blogger suggesting spacey was paid by the mexican tourism board to appear with the president. spacey then sent a tweet saying the meeting was not planned, but still people are questioning whether spacey and celebrities in general should be paid with public funds to appear with politicians. >> yeah. i guess the controversy was about whether the mexican tourism board and their mayor actually used their taxpayer funds to pay him. i mean, that kind of thing does happen all the time. >> a lot. we've asked for comments from spacey and the mexican government. they have declined so far. but spacey also said he was -- >> in character. >> he was in character. >> he should have made it more clear. >> he admitted that he should have made it more clear. yeah. >> more now on that big debut

14 years after "x-men" hit theaters we have a new chapter bringing together the original trilogy and the reboot that began in 2011. "x-men: days of future past," wolverine straddles two time zones after professor x sends him back in time to recruit help from his younger self. >> i was sent here for you. >> tell me who sent you that i'm busy. >> it's going to be a little tricky because the person who sent me was you. >> what? >> about 50 years from now. >> 50 years from now like 50 years in the future. >> yes. >> i sent you from the future. >> if you had powers you'd know i was telling the truth. >> how do you know i don't have my -- all right. you've piqued my interest. what do you want? >> yeah, they have piqued our interest. james mcavoy and patrick stewart are here with us again this

morning. good to have you both back and i know when people are watching, wait, what, huh. >> we're the same guy. >> we are. >> i look at that. >> in the show. >> no, it does show. >> by the way, have you ever been called a reboot before? >> only when i've paid people to call me it on the second wednesday of every month. >> that's what you are apparently. >> but when you look at the two of you and this is great when the cast was here, just the camaraderie you have that comes through on the screen, as well. you cut your hair because you thought that as a younger professor x you needed to look more like -- >> i cut it for "x-men," three years ago and shaved my head thinking i wanted to check what it looks like a month before we started shooting and was happy with it and they got there and said, no, we want to you have long hair so it was this long at the time and i spent 15 hours getting hair extensions and then for this movie, future past i spent 18 hours and a straight run having hair extensions.

>> 18 hours. >> i'm all over the hair extensions. >> photographs of how you looked when -- >> you told me it was done to my bum, remember? >> i saw that but when it was cut really short you didn't have to shave your head, did you? >> yeah, he did. >> were there photographs? >> that's -- that was the word on the street because he idolizes you so, one as a character and you originally didn't even want to do this in the very beginning, the first one. why? >> i was reluctant because we had just finished next generation star trek and i felt getting closely attached to what had already all the makings of a franchise might not be helpful in the wider sense of a career move but brian persuaded she this would be entirely different and it was right. >> it worked out really well. it worked out quite well for you. yes, it has and, james, everybody else -- a lot of the characters go through all these transformations. you as the younger one, what is the most transformation that you have to go through?

how do you get into character to -- >> how do i get into character? i watch everything that patrick has ever done starting with the earliest things i can find on youtube and try to emulate him every morning. it's a big, big, big character change for professor x. you get to see him doing things. >> it's just squinting. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, other people have methods and i just do that and that's it. >> well, i think by the end of this movie you start to see him stop doing that and i'll do it more like patrick -- >> the next movie down the road. >> that's for the next one. you're already thinking of that. how was it like to see your character being played by him? >> it was, first of all, flattering when i heard this was going to be my younger self. i never looked this good. >> oh. >> come on. >> never and so i thought, well maybe this -- people will remember me that i looked like

james mcavoy. [ laughter ] it was -- it was astonishing and in this movie there were moments the first time i saw it when i saw clearly professor xavier in james but then there were even creepier moments when i actually saw patrick stewart especially in profile, james in profile. >> you both bring so much to the role and, again, the ensemble cast is second to none and i think the last time that you were here after you finished the interview, you were doing a little -- what caused this? what did hugh make you do? >> jackman started this. >> dude, just do it. do it. >> okay, so we have the camera rolling in this just in case you do something after this interview. all the best to you both and thank you so much. >> thank you, robin. >> for always sharing. sharing your talents with us. we appreciate it.
