and college football kickoff. it's a brand-new era for the first time a playoff to determine the national champion. >> i'm in. >> we'll be in. >> no doubt. >> and the fight for this trophy is under way. i'm live in texas with all the "gameday" excitement. hey, good morning, everybody. and not only is this the start of the big labor day weekend, but it's also the day when college football goes into high gear. and paula faris will be covering it all from the set of espn "gameday" in ft. worth, texas. there she is. paula, what do you have for us coming up? >> listen to this, dan. it is a new day, a new era in college football. look at all the fans that showed up so early in the morning to celebrate, but out with the old, in with the new. we're talking about a college

football playoff for the very first time, and, of course, we're here at espn's college "gameday" set in ft. worth set to tell you what this means and who could be hosting the trophy come january 12th of next year. >> the question about those fans, did they show up early or were they there all night? we'll get to that later. >> i think the latter. the latter. >> that's my guess. much more from paula coming up and from those fans. but we're going to start here with our top story as we head into this long holiday weekend, president obama is now trying to reassure americans about the threat from isis. one of our closest allies, great britain, has just raised its terror threat level, so should we follow suit? could isis actually hit us here at home? let's go straight now to the white house and abc's jeff zeleny. jeff, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. you're right, the president is trying to strike that balance between warning and reassuring americans as his team is still weighing how to confront the rising threat of islamic extremism that's hitting closer to home. this morning, strong comments from president obama about the

threat from the militant islamic group isis. speaking to supporters on friday, he says the world has always been messy, but images on social media of beheadings, mass executions and attacks have only heightened our fears. the president also saying we will get through these challenging times just like we have in the past. the president's words coming just as the united kingdom raised its terror level threat to severe. fearing the risk of an attack is highly unlikely. >> we're facing a deeper threat to our security than we have known before. >> reporter: no changes in u.s. >> reporter: here on no changes is u.s. warnings. this morning, there are rising concerns about homegrown american recruits to isis. >> we've now seen where some individuals start to branch out and travel to other hot spots around the globe, obviously syria being one of them. >> reporter: even though the fbi and department of homeland security say they're unaware of any specific credible threat. online music videos like this one from an american rapper.

♪ this goes out to all my soldiers freedom fighters ♪ >> reporter: are an increasingly way to recruit new fighters to the jihadi movement. ♪ they slaughter us like annals now it's time for that beast to bite em. black fashions we worldwide syria to atlanta ♪ >> recruiting friends and friends of friends. >> reporter: back in washington president obama and his advisers are weighing their options, not threatening or ruling out military strikes like this one. >> i don't want to put the cart before the horse. we don't have a strategy yet. >> reporter: but it's those six words from the president, we don't have a strategy yet, that still is causing him political grief. republicans say he's indecisive but white house officials tell me he's simply trying to send the message he's not rushing into another war. dan. >> a lot more to come, jeff zeleny, thank you. moving on this morning we're learning a lot more about the condition of joan rivers, the hollywood legend whose career has been equal parts, comedy, controversy and cosmetic surgery. see stopped breathing during an outpatient procedure on

thursday. she was rushed to mt. sinai hospital here in new york city and that is where we find abc's linzie janis with the very latest this morning. linzie, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. she was having a procedure on her throat when she went into cardiac arrest. she's been in a medically induced coma here at mt. sinai ever since and this morning no word on her chances of making a full recovery. this morning sources tell abc news that joan rivers lay unconscious in a new york city hospital. doctors keeping her sedated until they are more comfortable with her condition. the comedian has been under supervision for nearly 48 hours, since thursday morning when she was rushed to the hospital after suffering cardiac arrest during a procedure at an endoscopy clinic. doctors say her recovery likely hinges on how long she was without oxygen. >> every minute that the brain goes without good oxygenated blood flow can potentially cause serious damage. >> reporter: melissa rivers describing her 81-year-old mother's condition as serious and asking for prayers.

just hours before her procedure, rivers was on a new york city stage making people laugh in typical joan fashion. >> i saw what's going on under my chin. i don't want to be the one the president has to pardon on thanksgiving. >> reporter: and less than a week ago, the legendary funny woman and tv icon was dishing out red carpet jokes on e!'s "fashion police." >> the legs go on and on and on like gwyneth paltrow when someone asks her about kale. >> reporter: rivers has always been open about health discussing a scare last year on her we tv reality show, "joan and melissa: joan knows best." >> we have to go for a c.a.t. scan and wait to see whether or not it's benign. >> reporter: showing humor was not only what made her the happiest. >> i won't make jokes, right. i'll make a few but i won't make jokes. >> reporter: but also what gets her through life's tough times. >> sorry. oysters at lunch. just --

>> reporter: the always entertaining often controversial rivers has received an outpouring of support from her celebrity friends from ellen degeneres to donald trump. dan, a lot of people speculating that if it's possible to pull through this, then she can do it. >> i think -- i would heartily endorse that speculation. there are a lot of people pulling for her. thank you for your reporting. you may notice here on the set this morning we have a little bit of a different configuration. sara filling in to my right which is always nice and ron in his usual perch giving us the news. good morning. >> good morning to you, dan. good morning, sara. good morning, everyone. we begin in nicaragua where a desperate search is under way right now to rescue several trapped miners. rescue crews have been working around the clock to reach the gold miners stuck underground for more than 24 hours. 22 of the 26 workers have managed to get out alive after the mine collapsed. authorities were alerted. the landslide late thursday after losing contact with the workers who are believed to be

about 165 feet below the surface. and now to the crisis in the ukraine. ukrainian forces say one of their fighter jets has been shot down by a russian missile in the eastern part of that country. this as european foreign ministers say thousands of russian troops, thousands of them are inside ukraine. more than previously thought. russian officials denied that they have any troops in ukraine. one russian official says satellite images purporting to show russian ground forces inside ukraine were from a computer game. and a man is an escaped prisoner and sheriffs say deqwon blackmon somehow managed to get away from officers who were transporting him to a local detention center running into the nearby woods. that suspect, police say, blackmon, who is facing attempted murder charges, is unarmed but very dangerous. and take a look at this video. it's a yacht captured on a cell phone video. a huge yacht on fire in texas. the 45-foot vessel was engulfed in flames just as it was going

under the bridge. everyone on board managed to escape. the owner was reportingly showing off the yacht to a potential buyer when it went up in flames. a wild spinout during the last practice run for the indy car series in fontana, california, very wild. russian indy driver mikhail aleshin was attempting to turn turn four there and somehow lost control, amazing there, crashing into three other cars. aleshin's the first russian to ever race in the indy car series is in serious condition. three other drivers were not seriously hurt. the indy car series final takes place tonight. and finally, president obama is taking on his critics this time for his fashion statement also known as tangate. the president lit up social media or his attire did after he decided to don a light tan suit during a press conference on thursday. during a visit to rhode island yesterday, friday, the president has switched back to a dark suit, but he said he liked the

tan suit and chose a light color in his words to claim every bit of summer he can. and it looks like a fan agreed giving him a high-five during his arrival. and i checked some of the comments about his tan suit online were sad, terrible and whacked. i like it. >> let the guy do his job and keep picking on his clothing. >> we had a little bit of a who wore it better this morning. a little bit of a split screen that -- >> oh, really? >> we'll show you between president obama and this guy, ron claiborne. who wore it better? >> i win. i win. i like his. it's not whacked. it's not terrible. it's not sad. >> yes. >> you are never any of those things, ron. >> thank you. >> just for the record. >> thank you. >> thank you, ron. >> at least not because of what i wear. >> right, exactly. exactly. never for any reason. just to be clear. nascar star tony stewart will be back on the track for his first race since this now infamous incident three weeks ago. you may remember this. he hit and killed a fellow driver. after weeks in seclusion stewart came to the cameras on friday

showing a side of himself we rarely get to see, and abc's gio benitez is on the story. >> reporter: this morning an emotional tony stewart is trying to push past the crash that killed 20-year-old racer kevin ward jr. on a dirt track in upstate new york. >> this has been one of the toughest tragedies i've ever had to deal with both professionally and personally. >> this is his first public appearance following the accident. that video still hard to watch. ward getting out of his car after an initial accident apparently waving his hand at stewart when moments later his car strikes and kills ward. >> this is a sadness and a pain that i hope no one ever has to experience in their life. >> reporter: now three weeks later stewart is practicing for tomorrow's sprint cup race and the nascar champ says he will try to meet with ward's family. >> i want kevin's father,

kevin jr. and his mother pam and his sisters, kristi and kayla and kaitlyn to know that every day i'm thinking about him and praying for them. >> reporter: the driver phone known for his hot temper on the track now subdued off it, not taking questions from the press and returning to his car, number 14, for the first time in tomorrow's race at the atlanta motor speedway. stewart has not been criminally charged. investigators say so far there's no evidence that he should be. but this morning, sports analysts wonder should a grieving stewart race at all? >> the fact that the police have not yet completed their investigation and yet he's coming back to the track, it just seems wrong. >> reporter: for "good morning america," gio benitez, abc news, new york. >> gio, thank you. and now to a very different race involving drones and the competition among some of the world's tech giants to deliver products straight to your door in a whole new way. check out this video from google. hot on the heels of a drone unveiled by amazon

not long ago, so could this ever really happen and would it actually be safe? abc's bazi kanani has more. >> reporter: it's google's turn to take to the skies with "project wing." >> it is sort of the first prototype that we want to stand behind and a reliable system that can do autonomous delivery. >> reporter: two years in the making, the tech giant's latest brainchild is gearing up for takeoff, but google is only the latest company to announce plans to one day offer drone to door delivery. amazon's ceo jeff bezos unveiling its drone on cbs' "60 minutes" late last year. >> we can carry objects we think up to five pounds which covers 86% of the items we deliver. >> reporter: unlike amazon prime air, google's drone drops a rope that's attached to the parcel and has fewer spinning blades and looking more like a miniature jet. it's all part of a trend that seems like something out of "the jetsons." ♪ from a sushi restaurant in

london to a wisconsin brewery. but its future is still up in the air with concerns ranging from privacy to aviation safety. >> it could hit an engine, take out an engine. >> reporter: the faa telling abc news overnight they're aware of google's proposal and have had discussions with the company but currently all commercial use of unmanned aircraft is against the agency's regulation. the next phase is to drive it towards the enabling of the dream of delivering stuff more quickly. >> when amazon announced its drone testing nine months ago, many shrugged it off at the time, considered it a pr stunt but analysts say google has the lobbying power and the finances to get regulations changed and to perfect the technology and they say that means that those delivery doans could be at our doorsteps before too long. dan. >> a brave new world. bazi, thank you. >> absolutely. as we mentioned earlier, the college football season kicks into full gear today,

and it's the start of a brave new era for the league, one designed to answer the prayers of frustrated fans. let's get it back to my co-anchor paula faris in ft. worth, texas. paula, good morning once again. >> good morning once again to you, dan, and, you know, believe it or not, even the politicians in washington could agree on this, the old system to determine a college champion just wasn't working, so this is their attempt to fix it at the end of the season, four teams and hopefully one of your teams, right, four teams will compete for a chance to hoist this trophy. out with the crystal and in with the good. the oft maligned bowl championship series is no more. for the first time ever, the national champion of college football will be the winner of a playoff tournament. but don't get too excited about the bracketology. the newly minted college football playoffs will feature just four teams in two rounds to

determine who plays in that championship game. >> you're going to have to win that game plus two games now to win a national championship, so this will be much more challenging, i think, than it's ever been before. >> reporter: a committee of 13 including archie manning, legendary coach barry alvarez and even former secretary of state condoleezza rice will meet weekly to score teams on an array of criteria including strength of schedule, head-to-head competition, common opponents and even injured players. but with so much controversy surrounding the bcs, which drew years of scorn from sportscasters -- >> the bcs as we know it comes to an end, and i couldn't be happier. >> reporter: presidents. >> i'm fed up with these computer rankings and this and that and the other. >> reporter: and even congressional hearings. >> drop the "c" and call it the bs system. >> reporter: how is the new system being received?

>> no more computers to keep us out. >> we're definitely in. >> i'm in. >> we'll be in. >> no doubt. >> okay, so are you ready for this? the official name is the college football playoff national championship trophy presented by dr. pepper. let me take a deep breath now. it's about three feet tall. made of gold, bronze and steel and took the craftsmen, dan about three months to perfect. one team will be hoisting this january 12th, 2015. i tried to lift it but i was scolded so i won't try that again. dan. >> it took them slightly longer to make that trophy than it did for you to pronounce the name of the championship. paula, we'll get back to you in the next half hour, thank you for braving it out there. we should say that there is a full day of football on tap on abc and espn culminating with the national champion florida state taking on oklahoma state in the advocare cowboys

classic at 8:00 p.m. here on espn. now for something completely different, the star of this next story is this baby girl born by a rare emergency c-section just a few months ago at the san diego zoo and sara has all the details. >> i have watched this new video over and over again and can't get enough of it. it's even better and a little sweeter knowing her entry into the world was a little rocky but she's made it a much cuter place to be for sure. san diego zoo's baby gorilla joanne is growing up and ready to make her grand entrance becoming more active and taking fewer naps. watch as she's holding on for dear life but riding proudly atop mommy amani's back. >> when amani is awake and doing things, joanne is very interested in it, so you'll see her riding on amani's back around the exhibit and as soon as she pauses, she'll be reaching for things. >> reporter: joanne was born on march 12th after a rare emergency c-section. since birth, joanne learned to roll over and prop herself up. just like human babies while teething, she began to mouth

items within her reach, but joanne is now sampling solid foods. her favorite so far, kale and grapes cut in half. and just like any other new kid in the neighborhood, joanne is learning the fine art of playing with the other young gorillas at the zoo. >> frank, he's pretty curious about holding joanne. he wants to carry her around the exhibit. >> reporter: while joanne is always under amani's watchful eye she's testing her limits and exploring her habitat and imitating mom's behaviors. not ready to take on all those new gorilla adventures, she hangs on to mom while swinging on a rope playing with logs and hanging out by mom's side while eating a meal but just like all little ones, they don't stay little for long. watch as joanne takes off with some of her first steps. this gorilla is ready to take on the world one baby step at a time. all i've got to say is, oh, it's so cute. it's so cute. and if it takes a viral video either a baby or an animal, take a baby animal, and you've nailed it. >> absolutely. joanne is adorable. thanks for doing that. we appreciate it. let's get the forecast from

meteorologist stephanie roberts visiting from our abc station in sarasota, florida. good morning. can you top joanne? >> i can't top baby animals. you can never go wrong there, good morning, everybody. we do have problems to talk about along the northern gulf coast. tropical rains are moving into the area. we are expecting downpours today and we could see as much as 4 inches of rain in some spots. chicago, you're starting out a little bit cloudy this morning and spotty showers not out of the question but i think we'll be okay for the north coast music fest and also for the fireworks tonight at navy pier. things will improve throughout the day. we're watching a severe weather threat today in the northern plains but that severe weather threat is going to spread to the east as we go into tomorrow. may see some damaging winds and a lot of rain, more than 2 inches in minneapolis yesterday. it's picture perfect in the northeast. great day in new york. and if you're hanging out with paula there in dallas, it's going to be hot fo

long murder. the lego bricks belonging to 78-year-old lucille johnson's grandson were found laying on the floor of her home where authorities say johnson was hit in the head and strangled to death in 1991. >> she had many years ahead of her that we were robbed of. >> reporter: detectives learned from family members that johnson wouldn't just leave her grandkid's toys on the floor but the case went cold for decades. >> i wasn't sure that it ever would be solved. >> reporter: until last summer when authorities say dna found from scrapings under johnson's fingernails match that of john sansing on death row for unrelated murder. >> occasionally we run into individuals who are evil. the individual that is being charged with this crime today can only be described as that. >> reporter: officials believe sansing used his 5-year-old son to befriend johnson and her grandchild. investigators say it was sansing's son's fingerprints found on the lego toys placing

the child at the murder scene. >> that young child has been tormented with these visions all these years. >> reporter: detectives also sansing's wife says he admitted to killing an elderly awe tao woman and charged him with murder and her family a step closer to reaching their 23-year quest for justice. >> it's exciting to have answers after all of these years where we've just speculated and never known. >> reporter: investigators say sansing's wife will not be charged. sansing is currently on death row for murdering a woman in arizona back in 1998. dan. >> such a strange case. happy that family is getting answers, though. aditi, thank you. let's get it back over to ron now for a look at the morning headlines. good morning once again. >> hi again dan and sara. good morning, everyone. we begin the news with the international response to the growing terrorist threat posed by the islamic extremist group isis. british officials have raised the threat level in that country to severe, which means that they believe there's the risk of an attack highly unlikely. president obama is trying to

reassure americans saying that while the images on tv may look scary with regard to isis, in his words, the world has always been a messy place. and prayers pouring in for comedian joan rivers who is in a medically induced coma in a new york city hospital. rivers is in serious condition after undergoing -- after having a cardiac arrest episode during an outpatient procedure. two volcanoes erupting half a world away from each other. a huge eruption in papua new guinea and local communities have been evacuated and flights over that south pacific nation have been diverted and, meanwhile, in iceland, the latest eruption has not produced significant ash, so european air travel so far has not been affected there. and finally, apparent lyly a scandal brewing or baking in kentucky. you're looking at a buttermilk pie made by the winning recipe by linda horton. check this out, judges now investigating the possibility that the crust was actually allegedly store bought, pillsbury crust. >> no. >> store bought. pillsbury crust. that would be a scandal. horton submitted all the details
