while no one has claimed responsibility, groups sympathizing with isis are a strong possibility. last year militants pledged allegiance to isis. >> this comes at a time when president obama recalibrated his strategy to take on isis, sending more troops to iraq. >> reporter: that's right, george. the u.s. will likely add hundreds more americans on the ground in iraq to help train iraqi forces. we already have over 3,000 americans there, and, yet, despite that and the thousands of air strikes we've carried out, the iraqi forces lost the key city of ramadi and after a year have been unable to take back mosul. george. >> okay, martha, thanks very much. now to that severe weather turning deadly overnight. more than 100 storms reported all across the eastern half of the country and, you know, ginger has the latest. >> most were damaging wind reports. over 60-mile-per-hour winds. this was a tornado north of albany. you can see the damage there. flash flooding from new

former speaker of the house will likely be ones of turmoil and disgrace. hastert this morning is back home here in plano, illinois. if convicted, robin, he could face up to ten years in prison. robin. >> all right, brian, thank you. turning now to the fallout from that pool party that got out of control. the police officer caught on camera slamming a teenage girl to the ground and drawing his gun has now resigned. but police are still investigating. abc's steve osunsami is until mckinney, texas, with the latest. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, to you, robin. it must be said that police here were condemning many of this officer's actions from the very beginning. this morning there are some families who are cheering this latest development. but a much smaller, less vocal group quite upset by it. this morning, the police officer at the center of this racially explosive video has resigned. another case of caught on camera outside a private pool in mckinney, texas, now seen by

the year, a navy veteran and families are divided many blaming the kids who say weren't listening to police. >> if she had done what he told her to do 15 types, it would have never happened. >> reporter: but casebolt's policing of black residents has been questioned before. in 2008 he and several other officers sued after a traffic stop accused of racial profiling and harassment, a judge dismissed the case. this latest incident has police investigating whether they'll file criminal charges. we reached out to the corporal for comment, didn't get any. his lawyer is expected to hold a news conference later today. george. >> i know you'll be there. okay, steve, thanks very much. we're going to turn now to an urgent new warning about speeding trains. federal regulators are calling for changes to make train travel safer as we learn more about that deadly derailment in philadelphia last month. abc's david kerley in washington with the latest. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. a key piece of information is

is revealed whether he was using his cell phone. he was not using his h cell phone. but why was the train going so fast? >> reporter: the authorities learned he did not use his cell phone so why with it going so fast before derailing. amtrak said it will now go further and record the engineer this morning the federal government is calling for changes across the country to deal with passenger trains speed at dangerous corners. if a train doesn't have automatic braking technology that a crew member stay in contact with the engineer through those dangerous high-speed areas, and the trains that do have that technology need to be checked and

calibrated for speed. amtrak says by the end of this year on the northeast corridor it will install the latest technology known as positive train control. all rail lines are supposed to meet that deadline, but they won't, as the ceo of amtrak told me in philadelphia. >> there's been some difficulty for them to get their -- all their acts together. they all have a different idea of what they should do but there's -- i think it's a clear message out here this is coming. >> reporter: so now we know the engineer was not using his phone as we said so we are left with that nagging question, whys what the train traveling twice the speed limit when it hit that dangerous curve and derailed north of philadelphia. george? >> thanks very much. we'll go to "gma" weekend anchor paula faris in for amy. we heard about rail safety. you're starting with highway safety. >> that's right. great to be here, george and robin. the maker of a controversial guardrail used on roads across the country is being ordered to pay up this morning. trinity highway products was the subject of our reporting last fall when a jury ruled the company made false statements to the government about a change in

how it made guardrails. plaintiffs argued the change caused those guardrails to malfunction resulting in serious injuries. a judge has now ordered trinity to pay $663 million in damages. and as many as 10 million workers could be getting a pay raise under a plan discussed on capitol hill today. the obama administration wants to make more workers eligible for time and a half overtime pay. many business owners argue that this will kill jobs, the plan could raise the maximum salary for mandatory overtime from $23,000 set back in the 1970s to at least $51,000. the los angeles police commission has found one of two officers involved in that fatal shooting of easel ford violated policy by using lethal force. ford who was unharmed -- unarmed and mentally ill was shot in the back last august. his mother now wants criminal charges brought against that officer.

to get a perspective on just how exhausted dellevedova was guarding steph curry, you mentioned earlier he was given i.v. treatments right after the game and then he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance for severe cramping. if that's not laying it on the line, then i don't know what is, but he better get better soon. game four is tomorrow night. 9:00 p.m. eastern on abc, but this series, i know you stayed up. >> we were both saying he was like the best pest ever. >> see it on curry's face, get this guy away from me. >> thanks for bringing that to us, jesse. how about this rain out west, ginger? >> a pest in some places. look at this picture. this is from california, a graduation, not rained out but certainly rained on then look at this. raining this morning in san francisco, flash flood watches going on all the way through the remnants of blanca. all right.

so now he's opening up and he is sharing his incredible message of resilience. ♪ we found love ♪ ed sheeran is known for pouring his heart out. with soulful sureness. ♪ >> reporter: but now the photograph crooner -- ♪ keep this love in a photograph ♪ >> reporter: -- is giving us a snapshot of a different struggle. >> i was a weird child. >> reporter: his childhood battle was stuttering the 24 at the freeing voices changing lives gala put on by the american for studering in new york says he thinks it stemmed from a procedure that might have damaged his nervous system. >> i had a port wine birthmark where i got lasered off and one day they forgot to put on the anesthetic and ever since then had a stutter. >> reporter: he shared how eminem unknowingly helped him stop his stutter.

when he was 9 years old, sheeran's dad gave him "the marshall mathers" lp put on repeat to practice speaking. >> i learned every word of it back to front by the age i was 10 and he raps very fast and very melodically and percussively and it helped me get rid of the stutter. >> sheeran, who joined actress and event host emily blunt who also struggled with stuttering earlier in life telling the audience to embrace their inner weirdness. >> be yourself, embrace your quirks. ♪ oh ♪ ♪ oh ♪ >> don't be scared to be honest. with yourself and people that love you. >> reporter: we caught up with ed in des moines, iowa, at his sold-out show witnessing a singer who found his voice. >> kids worry a lot about fitting in but the moment you stop trying to fit in is when things change around you. >> reporter: inspiring others to find their own. >> everything you think is wrong with you is actually right with you because that's makes you an individual and more interesting and makes you you. >> powerful words for sure.

ed sheeran and emily blunt are not alone in this. they join the ranks of marilyn monroe, james earl jones and shaquille o'neal to name a few who overcame their speech impediment. he mentioned from time to time even as an adult he suffers from it when he gets really excited about something or he wants to tell somebody a secret then it kind of comes up again. >> rich besser is here right now. we heard how common this is. what do we know about the causes of stuttering. >> it's early days and fully understanding it. when we're talking about stuttering we mean problems with the flow of your speech and the rate, the rhythm getting stuck on certain words, certain sounds. and when you look at causes, clearly genetics is part because it runs in families but there are environmental erins that play in, as well. a lot of stuttering is normal development. you know, kids, they're learning so many words and probably not able to say them as fast as their brain is taking them in and then their neurologic conditions are pretty rare as a cause of stuttering.

>> ed gives a lot of credit to eminem -- i say slim shady because i can't say eminem. is there really a correlation between stuttering and music? >> well, this is incredibly cool. there's this new small study that looks at a child's ability to tell the difference between rhythms and what they found was children who stutter are not as good at telling the difference between different musical rhythms as children who don't so let's do a little demo here. we have -- we have dan weiner here who is our drummer and will play two different rhythms. listen carefully and i want you to try to tell the difference. here's rhythm number one. ♪ >> okay. and here's rhythm number two. ♪

>> different, yeah. >> all right. now he's going to play one of those again and tell me -- i'll ask you whether it's rhythm number one or two. let's hear the mystery rhythm. ♪ >> yeah. >> we just copied paula. >> it was 1. if you were a child who stuttered you would have a hard time telling the difference between the two. >> interesting. >> what are options for kids suffering with this? >> i see a lot of parents who are concerned about this. the good news is 80% of children who stutter at a young age they'll outgrow it and it will go away. if you want to refer people, the most effective therapy is learning differences how to breathe and initiate speech, when to take pauses in there. but there's certain -- >> do you love that idea of

mr. sheeran giving the rap music? do you think parents should do that. >> different things work for different children. there are certain children it is important to refer early on. kids, older kids can be bullied and lead to problems with social interactions so if this is a child where their facial grimaces or movements that go along with it, you want to refer them early. older children who develop stuttering refer them early. where the child or parent is anxious refer them early because what they can do in that therapy is help you as parents how do you deal with a child who is stuttering. what do you do? >> a lot more questions you'll take on twitter. >> all morning. >> that's great. >> fascinating experience. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> dan. >> i was thinking ed sheeran. right. >> dan weiner on drums. >> when you're not behind plexiglas, i don't know. thank you. next up on our "gma heat index." actress zoe saldana speaking out

"nightline's" juju chang spent time with the family during their harrowing ordeal. >> that's it, good. >> reporter: it's a day the mata family has only dreamed about. a family photo with two baby girls on their laps and their son by their side. two sisters, now reunited. a happy ending to a harrowing story that begins here a little over a year ago. knatalye and adeline were born conjoined from the ribcage down to their pelvis with some

internal organs fused together. >> what is it? >> i want to give them a shot at a normal life. >> reporter: so a year later after ten months in the hospital, a team of 12 surgeons at texas children's hospital worked to separate the girls during a grueling 26-hour operation. one false move can spell disaster. >> it was just very dicey there for awhile. >> sadness. i just don't want to lose them and i know there's that risk. >> reporter: during the surgery, the parents are called for an in-person update with one of the doctors. >> are you okay? >> yeah. >> reporter: something they only expected in the case of bad news. it turns out that adi's heart was weak and had to be pumped by hand. >> there is a fair amount of bleeding with dividing the liver. during that bleeding process adeline's heart wasn't pumping very well. >> reporter: but when the family is called back for another worrisome face-to-face meeting. >> dr. o has to hurry up. >> reporter: this time it's the news they've been waiting for.

>> so far so good. they are separated. >> yay! yay! i told you. i told you. i told you. oh, yay! >> reporter: little knatalye, the stronger of the two, goes home first in may leaving her sister behind. >> in two weeks, it's your turn. >> reporter: and now it's finally adeline's turn. her lungs still weak but no doubt will grow stronger with the help of her sister. for "good morning america," juju chang, abc news, new york. >> no doubt at all, and you can see more of this story on "nightline" tonight and the full story of the twins and their journey will be featured in a one-hour special airing on discovery life channel later this summer, robin. >> uh-huh. just love that story. now to that hot workout we've been showing you this morning.
