7:06 am
the consty institution. and the no-fly list after 9/11 to stop suspected terrorists from boarding planes is unconstitutional. they have no meaningful way to challenge it, and deprived of due process under the law. she called on homeland security to come up with a better procedure. and a dramatic scene in south carolina, police jump in trying to rescue people trapped after that head-on crash ignited a fire. you can see one officer pulling the door, eventually getting that man out as flames engulf the wreckage. the driver of the truck was rescued and recovering this morning. two heros there. and one of the most prolific actors of his generation has died. ely wallach's career spanned six decades. he played tuco in the good, the bad, and the ugly. eli wallach was 98 years old. and finally, it could be the last dance for a perky park ranger from tennessee. daryl nelson says he's been dancing on the job for years at a chattanooga park. but he was recently fired after

david has been covering this story from the start. good morning, david. >> reporter: experts have been pouring over the data from the satellite signals, and a new search area will be outlined. and one more clue from a top investigator about the end of the flight of malaysian air 370. even though the search flights and the underwater robot found nothing. the lead australian safety investigator says they have learned more from the jetliner's digital signature. martin dolan says that the plane was probably descending the last time it was in touch with a satellite. investigators believe the jet had been flying for seven hours, cruising at altitude with no damage. pinging a satellite every hour. and 8:00 in the morning, the final ping. and eight minutes later, an unexpected pin, fuel exhaustion. and at this time, the jet is
7:09 am
desce descending. but dropping out or still flying? that could depend on whether both engines quit at the same time. if so, it might have glided for a while. where to look now? this line shows where the aircraft might have been when the unexpected ping was transmitted. the investigator tells abc news, the jet wreckage could be 20 miles to the west or 30 miles to the east. we expect a new defined search area, up to 23,000 square miles, 70 times larger than the area they've already searched. but it will still be weeks, if not a couple of months, robin. before they actually start searching under water again. >> thank you very much. now the breakthrough in the battle against breast cancer, a new study showing 3-d mammograms catch more cancers than traditional one opinions and cnn senior medical contributor, dr. jennifer ashton is here. you're excited, tell us about it. >> in the ongoing debate, we have to strike in favor of mammograms. i spoke to the lead author of the study funded by the company that makes the 3-d mammogram.
7:10 am
the results of this study are significant. they caught more cancer. there was a 41% increase in the detection of invasive cancers, and 15% fewer callbacks when they compared 3d versus 2-d alone. so, significant. however, there's drawbacks, if anything. there's potentially more cost, potentially slightly more radiation than the traditional types. and women should ask if the doctors are using the mammogram, are they using the low radiation. >> and need to ask, that's a key question. when you get those results, should all women get this? >> we're not there yet. you have to consider the three types of imaging, mri, mammogram, sonogram. they all have a place. not right for all women. and even this 3-d type can miss cancers that a sonogram could detect. >> it's an ongoing debate. >> should be. the research is ongoing. we're learning more. it's not a one size fits all. it's a good thing.
7:11 am
>> thank you. and the big news from one of the biggest stars in sports. lebron james has become a free agent. wants to explore his options. does king james really want to leave the heat or is this a power play to force changes on the team? >> reporter: the king of the dunk, the no-look pass, and the crunch, may be on the market for a new empire to reign over. lebron james, a/k/a, king james. announcing free agency tuesday, just weeks after his team, miami heat, melted in the nba finals against the san antonio spurs. in the team's fourth-straight finals. >> they were the better team. that's why they're the champion. >> reporter: while he's arguably the league's best player, he's not the highest paid player. ranking ninth, just under $20 million a year. not bad. but he took a pay cut in 2010, breaking cleveland's heart, and moved to miami. in a much-mocked media stunt called "the decision."
7:12 am
>> i'm going to be taking my talents to miami beach. >> reporter: where will he be taking his talents next? opting out, the 29-year-old superstar has plenty of options, and could resign for more money. miami still a top choice, offering lebron the longest and most lucrative contract. and prodigal son could even return home to cleveland. >> if they get lebron james, you could argue strongly they have more talent around him now than they had before when he was there and they won 66 games one year, 61 another. >> reporter: his wife's instagram picture fueling speculation he might be doing that. the chicago bulls and the houston rockets are contenders, and the l.a. clippers and lakers are in the hunt. >> wherever he goes next season, it's going to be a contending team. >> reporter: but, of course, the most intriguing question, will he dump miami and return to his first love? cleveland. odds are that's not going to happen. here's why snagging him is so important.
7:13 am
a study showed that since lebron came to the heat, the team helped bring in $1.4 billion and 21,000 jobs a year. the miami heat economy. >> whoa. that is huge. >> didn't need a study for that. >> no. >> figure that own out. thanks very much. now to the player in the biting incident in the world cup watched by millions. new overnight, the serious charges that soccer superstar is now facing that could end his career. paula faris brings that story from beautiful rio this morning. good morning, paula. >> reporter: and good morning, robin. just to give you a sense of how many people were talking about lou luiz suarez before the bite, he was mentioned 100,000 times on twitter, afterwards, 2 million. it quickly became the chomp seen around the world. this morning hungry for victory has a new meaning, uruguay's
7:14 am
luis suarez seeming to sink his teeth into his opponent's shoulder yesterday. the reps missed it, but the cameras didn't. suarez, falling and grabbing his teeth, and the italian defense man flashing the alleged teeth marks, demanding the ref call foul, but he didn't -- and moments later. uruguay scored the winning goal that sent italy home. afterwards, chiellini, visibly angry. suarez is a sneak, he says, and he gets away with it. you should not make such a big deal about it. though he never admitted or denied the alleged chomp. and overnight, fifa charging suarez with assaulting an opponent. if found guilty, he faces a ban of up to two years. meantime, social media abuzz. and evander holyfield said any part of the body is up for eating. one suggested suarez add a dog

cone to his world cup attire. and suarez, aptly nicknamed the cannibal flashed his fangs before, suspended twice for earlier biting incidents. uruguay fans told our own judely foudy, it's all part of the game. >> you have to do what you have to do to win the game. >> reporter: meantime, team usa, hungry for the matchup against germany on thursday. >> they're a team that can win the world cup. they're talented enough to do that, but we have seen in this group almost anything goes. >> reporter: and fifa soccer's governing body will rule before saturday, when he's next scheduled to play. if found guilty, there's a good chance he will not play again this world cup. >> there is a good chance of that. the fact they're acting so quickly is out of character for fifa. alexi lalas joins us from rio. so charged overnight, what do you think is going to happen? >> i think they're going to ding him. and they should. we can vilify him. this is complete madness.
7:16 am
and he needs help. and if i had done something like this, remember, this is a repeat offender. this is not the first time he did something like this. i would be shouting from the rooftops i did not bite him. we don't hear that. i can't help think about the stories i head as recently as a month ago. where he talked about turning over a new leaf and how he was worried his antics on and off the field would reflect on his children, the thoughts of his children. it overshadows a wonderful result from uruguay beating italy, but this is all we talk about, rightfully so, because suarez, on the field, with what he does, always gives us something to talk about. >> let's talk about something else, then. let's talk about team usa. the big match with germany coming up. give us the latest on the preparations for that match. >> reporter: some of the same problems that the u.s. had in the -- in the last game they will have in this game. there will be no jozy altidore,
7:17 am
so clint dempsey who did a good job against portugal will be out there and asked to go up top. that's something that's happening. but the u.s. finds itself in this third game against germany in a position that i think they're very comfortable in. they knew it was going to come down to the third game. it possibly could have come down to the second game, that was wonderful. they had it in the palm of their hand. that goal at the end there that everyone has talked about all week, we'll continue to talk about. now they can do anything. they can do anything against germany. it will be fun to see what they can do. >> i hope it leaves you speechless again, but for a different reason, because of victory. all right, thanks so much for joining us as always. there's the salute. and you can watch the big usa/germany match on espn, 11:00 eastern. and four world cup games on espn and espn2. a lot of action. >> a lot of action. and now big news for the paul mccartney fans. the legendary singer was forced to postpone several dates of the world tour recently.

7:36 am
over to the defense. the defense is saying, they don't have anything. we should effectively end this. so far that argument has not worked. and what will likely happen is a jury will have to decide whether there is any evidence. >> but what do the prosecutors have? >> without this detective's testimony, and look, this detective has been forced, it seems, so testify if there is another trial. he's the key to the case, right? at trial, the other people involved didn't testify against her. the key to this case is that detective's testimony. if that detective is undermined the way that it seems that he can be. and, boy, the appellate court lists incident after incident in this detective's past which would raise questions about trusting his account. no recording of that confession. it's just his word against hearse. so if that's the best that they have, i'm surprised prosecutors are moving forward with another case. because they're going to be able to -- the defense is going to be
7:37 am
able to undermine this detective's testimony. >> this detective has been fighting testifying. >> that's right. he's got there's an investigate of him now from the feds. so he was effectively saying i shouldn't have to testify. it seems he will have to testify, which means that at least prosecutors have something, but i can't imagine a conviction. >> okay. dan abrams, thanks very much. let's go to ginger with the weather. >> good morning, george. a stormy morning in houston. that's where we are going to begin. lightning shots from our affiliate there. and you can see the rain right there on the camera. you will see the storms moving throughout the northeast. still summery, but it's steamy is the word that meteorologists love this morning. sultry, whatever you want to call it, it's summer in the southeast. but in the southwest, this is the unfortunate part of summer, reno today with the fire danger. fire danger increasing for places like las vegas. as we go through tomorrow, not only is the dry, hot weather there, but you kick up the

8:15 am
it's a multi-billion dollar market for those products. but a new analysis from the wall street journal questions those health benefits. >> reporter: going gluten free is all the rage. celebs like miley cyrus, and lady gaga and swearing it off. it's a $23 billion a year industry. grocery store shelves stocked with gluten-free cookies, cub cakes, and frozen dinners and beers. and products without gluten are being marketed as gluten free. >> it's a funny combination of health consciousness and fad dieting. >> reporter: but is this gluten-free craze the healthiest way to go? this nutritionist cautions it's not for everyone. >> unless there's an underlying medical reason, it's not necessarily healthy. i find more carbohydrates, sugar, sodium, sometimes more fat and definitely most of the time less fiber.
8:16 am
>> reporter: she says that in some products eliminating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, means adding other ingredients that can lead to weight gain. >> you're taking out wheat, something people are used to, and adding in many times sodium, sugar, sometimes it's fats, to just build that product to taste the way people expect it to taste. >> reporter: she says that to find out what's in your food, you need to look beyond the gluten-free label. >> we have a whole wheat pasta, and gluten-free, which one is the healthier option in your professional opinion? >> if you don't have a medical condition to go on a gluten-free diet, the better one is the whole wheat pasta. it delivers a lot more fiber. >> reporter: while it's a must for those with celiac disease, for everyone else, she says, eating healthy and unprocessed foods is key. >> if you're replacing junk food that has gluten in it for gluten-free junk food, at the end of the day, it's junk food.
8:17 am
for "good morning america," abbie boudreau, abc news, los angeles. >> and dr. jen ashton back with us. you're studying nutrition at columbia. we heard a lot of good information. do you understand why this is catching on? >> yes, some forms of peer pressure don't disappear in seventh grade. everyone is doing this. this is the latest thing. we started with fat-free, then sugar-free, then organic. now it's gluten-free. again, to be clear, for the people on the spectrum of celiay disease, gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy, even ibs, it's real and can be helpful. we're talking about millions of people. for most of us who want to try a new trend and drop some pounds, not really necessary. and there can be some suboptimal aspects for it. >> i had italian yesterday, and on the menu it gave the option of gluten-free or regular whole wheat. i'm glad after seeing the piece that i opted for whole wheat. what's the difference between regular-old spaghetti and gluten-free? >> were you tempted? >> i was.
8:18 am
>> see what i mean? >> i have a label here. compare a gluten-free spaghetti with a whole wheat form. it's six of one, half dozen of another. a little more carbs in the gluten-free, less protein, less fiber. now is this majorly significant for one meal? no. but if you're doing this exclusively, long term, then you can run into some issues. >> fiber makes you feel full. correct? >> yes. and i think you made the right choice, robin. >> i do too. >> you mentioned celiac. sort of give us a picture of who should try this. >> if you're on this spectrum, diagnosed and under the care of a physician, then you need to take it one step further if you're going to consider doing this long term. registered nutritionist and dietitian, and make sure you're not lacking for the things you think you're getting. >> we talk about this every couple of weeks. >> i can't wait for the next one. >> hey, jen, thank you. >> you're welcome. also burning up the "gma"
8:19 am
heat index, cinderella surgery. jen is going to love this. the trend in cosmetic procedures, women are having their feet altered to fit in their favorite designer shoes. but is it a step in a dangerous direction? juju chang is here with that story. good morning, juju. >> good morning, robin. i blame cinderella, frankly. because to this day, fashionistas believe that no pain, no gain is the answer when it comes to sky high heels. would you shorten your toes to get the fairytale ending of a day or nighty little foot in a sparkly glass slipper? from peep toes to sexy slingbacks, women are obsessed with footwear. that's a five-inch heel. and some are going to extremes to squeeze into the heel going under the knife to change the shape and size of their foot. call it cinderella surgery. it can help you go from ugly stepsister to glass slipper ready. it can involve changing the length of toes.
8:20 am
or removing ugly bunions or painful corns. there's even toe lipo to make a chubby toe slim. >> many times women have long second toes that are much too long that don't fit into shoes properly and cause corns. but the majority of my patients, the feet are hurting. >> reporter: dr. suzanne levine tries to keep her patients out of pain, but still in heels. and her patient, sought out dr. levine for surgery in december. >> i was really embarrassed by the bunions. i was really embarrassed by the corns. >> when she came in, i think the challenge was the foot was rather wide. she felt she was perfect up to her ankle. >> reporter: six months after her full-foot facelift -- >> they look so much better, and i'm not shy at all with my feet. >> reporter: but not all doctors think we should get cosmetic surgery for the feet. >> take a foot that's functioning well and run the
8:21 am
risk of causing other problems i think is ludicrous. >> reporter: she says they come to relieve the pain first, cosmetics, second. for angela, slipping into her favorite well worth it. >> i don't have to squeeze into them. they just go on, like a glass slipper. >> reporter: okay, i feel like the warning label now, but they are highly invasive. and orthopedic surgeons warn of permanent pain, numbness, restricted joint movement not to mention the risk of infection and swelling and all of that. talk about risk/benefit analysis. yeah. >> the pain -- >> tell us what you really think. >> i don't know. i don't know. thank you so much. i have to move on. finally in the "heat index" are kids growing up with the wrong message? while we want them to learn kindness and caring, the new report says that's not what
8:22 am
they're getting from their parents. deborah roberts has more now. >> reporter: this is a revelation that parents, including this one, will want to think about. got to rethink our priorities. kids say we're just pushing them to succeed with little regard to the feelings of others around them. >> that's abbey, she's the best in class, she's the competition. i've never wanted to beat a kid so badly. >> reporter: ask any kid or parent, and you'll learn, it's a jungle out there. >> stick it, lilly, stick it. >> reporter: and that competitive drive to achieve and overachieve may be creating a generation focused on winning at all costs. >> there's just a lot of anxiety about achieving. parents have a lot of anxiety about their kids not achieving the same station in life that they achieved. >> reporter: the co-author of a new report, "the children we mean to raise," say while parents mean to raise caring and empathetic kid, many of them are
8:23 am
sending the wrong message. >> a high percentage of kids saying their achievement is more important to them and their parents than being a good person. >> reporter: could that be true? we sat down with kids ages 11 to 17. in all honesty, show of hands, who is more concerned about achievement? okay. and who is more concerned with caring for others? they said they want to help those in need, but they're too swamped trying to make varsity teams and get into top colleges. >> a few times my mom said why don't you donate time, you're so fortunate. and i was just kind of like, i don't know how to fit it in. >> you see someone on the street, i want to help them, but where do i find time in my schedule? >> reporter: that kind of stress might explain a troubling discovery also cited in that harvard report. half of today's high school students admit to cheating on a test and three out of four admit to copying someone else's home
8:24 am
work. what is a caring parent to do? these moms and a dad say it's challenging to raise successful kids who care about their own happiness let alone that of others. >> i want them to be happy, but you also don't want them to worry about paying their mortgage. >> reporter: but conflicted moms and dads need to the lose hope. though caring isn't high on their list, kids say, it's not off their radar. >> i think once i'm out of college and 30 or 35 -- >> 30 or 35, when you get old. >> yeah. >> doesn't have to wait until he's 35. experts say it's the age-old walk the talk. show your kids concern for others and they're likely to make it a priority. remember, kids, watch what we do. i spoke with a dad of a 7-year-old doing a fundraiser for an ill neighbor, somebody he cares about. caring is a big topic in that household. that's what it's all about. >> watch what you do now, watch what you say. >> and because you say it, but you have to do it to show. >> you have to do it. >> when kate had the lemonade stand and raising money. >> all her idea.
8:25 am
on any given week, it could be elephants in africa, or a neighbor. robin hood foundation -- >> caring, she does get that message. it's important. >> that's a good point there. thank you. we are going out to ginger for a check on the weather. ginger. >> oh, and look at this crowd. a huge one here because of the star power we have. now, i wanted to try something a little new today. i wanted to try something called my weather. >> wow! >> that was a weather wow in case you missed it. it has a purpose, and that would be lightning from earlier this spring, one of my friends that used to judge a photo contest with was out looking at lightning. and there it hits. he did get burned, but he is okay. but it is lightning awareness week, put that out there. lightning is so dangerous. even if the storms aren't severe, they can have the dangerous or deadly lightning with it. now from billings down to colorado springs is where we find severe weather highlights,
8:26 am
stro >> so much more coming up, lara. >> all right, ginger, thank you. and among the things coming up, they are back together, jennie garth and tori spelling of "90210" fame. they're reuniting. we'll tell but that coming up on "gma".
