7:07 am
nasir al wuhayshi had been killed in a u.s. air strike. last seen in this video, huge open air meeting with his fighters in yemen last year al wuhayshi had emerged as the most determined to target the u.s. it was his al qaeda bombmakers who were behind the repeated but failed efforts to bring down u.s. passenger jets using bombs hidden in underwear and in printer cartridges able to easily get by airport security. al what hash shi, who once certained as ed served as osama bin laden's personal aide had been one of america's most wanted terrorists with a $10 million reward for him dead or alive. in announcing his death this morning al qaeda also announced his successor to take over the terror group. officials say despite this one killing this arm of al qaeda remains a major threat to the u.s. and commercial aircraft especially since the evil genius bombmaker remains alive, george, and apparently still plotting. >> but it does come after that successful attack against a leader in libya, as well. >> that's exactly right. >> brian ross, thank you very much.

7:09 am
black person? >> reporter: many of her former supporters say she'sthey're offended she's refusing to answer that directly. >> it has damaged a lot of relationships. for some they will never be able to move past it. >> reporter: we're learning she did at one point identify as a white woman when at graduate school at historically black howard university where she filed a discrimination lawsuit against the school claiming they kept her from teaching positions because she was caucasian. the case was dismissed and howard has no comment this morning. but it appears since then she's traveled on her road to blackness. >> i do consider myself to be black. >> reporter: she is seen speaking to a college student in this youtube video last year about her experiences as a black woman. >> i feel even though other people are going to oh she is not owning her white side. >> reporter: all of this is causing some to question her motivation. ? if she needs to see a professional, she should. >> reporter: there's a debate over whether these transracial and the way are some transgender. >> they both have to do with people who run right into conflict with our long-held beliefs about what natural real categories are when it comes to
7:10 am
race or when it comes to gender. >> reporter: on social media, the idea is setting some people off. so if i say i'm transracial and call myself white do you think employers will finally call me back? and transracial isn't a real thing. and it's degrading to trans people. the naacp national office says she's done great work as a chapter president and they're not at all concerned about the color of her skin or whatever she's done to her hair. george. >> okay, steve, thanks very much. we get the latest on that prison break. the woman charged with helping the convicts escape was in court on monday. this morning, we're hearing from her lawyer for the first time. and gio benitez is on the scene in upstate new york. good morning, gio. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. it's now day 11 in this manhunt and the woman at the center of it all in the slammer herself. this morning, for the first time we're hearing from joyce mitchell's attorney as the prison worker accused of aiding two escaped convicts sits in a
7:11 am
cell, wearing jailhouse attire. >> let's say she's very upset. she's distraught. >> reporter: mitchell is accused of bringing tools into the prison helping richard matt and david sweat break out, allegedly agreeing to drive the getaway car before pulling out at the last minute. law enforcement sources telling abc news that investigators are now looking into allegations that mitchell may have helped the convicts escape because she believed they would help kill her husband and run away with her. though prosecutors won't comment. sources say the case of the missing prisoners is growing cold. this, as investigators follow more than a thousand tips having already searched 13 square miles with no sign of either convict. >> these guys are not survivalists. they have no skillsets in the woods. either they're long gone or really contained within this perimeter. these guys are vicious animals. >> reporter: but will they ever be caught? prison breaks have both fascinated and terrified. 1962 alcatraz, three escaped and are never caught. 1977, kansas, a man escapes and isn't captured until just last year. experts say don't underestimate
7:12 am
sweat and matt's escape plot. >> these guys have a well-devised plan. they put together a pretty good deal here. it took them a long time. >> reporter: as for joyce mitchell, she's pleaded not guilty. prosecutors say more charges are possible but they won't say what those are, george. >> thank you, gio. now time to go to dan harris for today's other top stories, starting with massive wildfire. >> good morning. that's exactly right. this morning two-thirds of the state of alaska under fire warnings. one fire has destroyed as many as 45 homes north of anchorage. hundreds of others have been evacuated. the highway connecting anchorage and fairbanks is now closed. the flames have now burned about 13 square miles. we have new details about those exploding air bags blamed for at leas honda is now expanding its recall to include some of the most popular cars on the road. the recall now includes more than a million civics made between 2001 and 2005 and accords made between 2003 and 2007.
7:13 am
the air bags made by takata can explode sending debris flying through the car. to politics now, jeb bush is heading to new hampshire one day after announcing the obvious, that he is, in fact, running for president. he accuses democrats of planning what he calls a no-suspense primary for a no-change election. and he took direct aim at hillary clinton. >> not one of us deserves the job by right of resume, party, seniority, family or family narrative. it's nobody's turn. it's everybody's test. >> you may have noticed bush's campaign logo does not feature his last name. and his father and brother did not attend his announcement. meanwhile, donald trump appears ready to enter the race for real this time and, george, will be sitting down with him today. his interview will air tomorrow right here on "gma." in sports news this morning, for the third time in six years, the chicago blackhawks are stanley cup champs. this time winning on their home ice and they made it a family celebration.
7:14 am
kris versteeg bringing his son on the ice with little headphones blocking out the noise, set him right in the cup. other players soon joined in with their little ones as well and hope the diapers were firmly affixed. >> oh, boy. >> danny. >> i'm sorry. >> somebody will be drinking out of them later. >> yeah, they will. this is a man with a 6-month-old at home. this is the kind of thing that's on my mind. and finally, a story about respect. this is urban meyer, the legendary coach of the ohio state buckeyes, the football team. he's a three-time champ. and this is what coach meyer did when somebody parked in his spot. he parked behind the perpetrator so he couldn't get out until meyer damn well pleased. this is something similar to what strahan did to me after i was telling people i was initially offered that role in "magic mike." >> at your door. >> exactly.
7:15 am
>> you're not moving him. >> no. >> i deflated his muscle suit. that's what i did. >> that's what you get, dan. your fault. >> i asked for that. i asked for that. >> thank you, dan. we all know it can be pretty hard to keep a secret in washington. and president obama found that out once again this weekend. the first family throwing a big party at the white house with 500 guests including a couple of music legends. abc's jim avila has the story. >> reporter: it's tough to keep a concert secret when the headliner is prince. the accompanist is stevie wonder, the audience is the first family. and the venue is the white house. especially in the age of social media. the white house might have tried but they failed. seattle quarterback russell wilson posting a picture of himself and his date, singer ciara, dancing at the white house. thanks, mr. president and first lady. reverend al sharpton not known for keeping anything quiet leaving the white house party with potus and flotus. awesome to see prince and stevie wonder on keyboards together.
7:16 am
later, we learned that 500 guests filled the residence side of the white house and that the obamas felt no obligation to advertise their fun. their spokesman telling a frustrated white house press corps it was on their dime. >> the president and first lady are going to reserve the right to host private parties at the white house. ♪ >> reporter: stevie wonder has performed for the obamas several times, like at the 2009 inaugural ball. prince had been in the area last week. but their white house appearances were not on the president's weekend schedule. no guest list was provided and no press allowed in to observe. >> nobody else in here was invited either. >> reporter: jim avila, abc news washington. >> jim avila, thank you so much. speaking of parties, i hear there's one at your place tonight, michael. >> come on over. >> game six. >> if you knock and no one answer, hey, it's not my fault. >> ouch. >> but, wait. it's my house.

7:18 am
more rest as he's not a one-man team. golden state's bench, much deeper. but as for lebron, while it's been physically draining he hasn't lost his bravado. >> do you feel a lot less pressure this finals run just because you're undermanned and you had some injuries, as opposed to previous years? >> no. no, i feel confident because i'm the best player in the world. it's simple. >> reporter: those words might sound cocky. but even if the warriors win the title tonight, the king is still a strong contender for finals mvp. which would make him only the second player ever to win that award but lose the championship. >> that big game is tonight, can't wait for that. and now, we have to get to ginger with the weather. dangerous heat in the southeast. >> heat index reaches up to 107 for parts of georgia, south carolina and north carolina. let's get you to the tuesday trivia.

7:33 am
fins in the shallow waters. this beach in port st. lucie florida was closed after spotting these sharks too close to shore. now, the sheriff's office concedes that finding those particular sharks in these waters is even harder than finding a needle in a haystack and these are migratory animals so very likely they've moved on which poses a threat to other beaches up and down this coastline. but if these guys do see those particular sharks, they're authorized to haul them in and if necessary shoot them. george. >> thank you, matt. we're joined by marie along with her brother chris and her brother-in-law shane. thank you all for being with us this morning. and mari you have been a paramedic now for almost 12 years. but europe just on vacation with your family right there on the beach. tell us what you saw and heard. >> well, we were just playing football in the water and a lady

came running to us telling us to get out of the water. there's a shark attack. i immediately went to work. i got some tourniquets kind of made out of string i was able to find and stopped the hemorrhaging from two of the limbs. and then i basically just kind of stabilized her, got i.v. from somebody in the crowd, gave her some fluids and waited for fire and ems to show up. >> these are real severe injuries. >> yes. >> and then you got the tourniquets from a boogie board in a nearby tent. >> i think in the pictures you can see the boogie board at her head. i used the string from that. and then somebody took string from one of their tents and gave it to me for her leg. until we could get fire on scene with the proper equipment and put the appropriate equipment on and took mine off. >> have you ever dealt with a shark attack before? >> no, i can't say that i have. >> had you had any warning that there was any kind of shark on the beach or around the beach? >> not at all. it was a completely normal day for everybody like there was no sign of that that -- well, that i know of that we -- any of us noticed.
7:35 am
it was very surprising. >> and have you had a chance to talk to the girl or her family since the attack? >> no, i mean she's going through a lot right now and the last thing she needs is a bunch of people bothering her. soy just tried to make sure the give her her distance. she has a long way to go and is a really, really strong girl. i'm proud of what all she's been through. and what all she's going to go through. >> she's lucky you were in the right place at the right time. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> cool, calm and collected. >> i can't even imagine that situation. thank goodness they were there and they knew what to do. now to a sheriff's deputy who is under fire this morning for tasering a 13-year-old boy, police say the teen was resisting arrest and are defending the deputy's actions. abc news' neal karlinsky has that story. >> hey, hey! >> reporter: this morning, police say they will investigate this incident caught on tape. a san diego sheriff's deputy

8:12 am
website or app. and 35% of couples who married within the last ten years said they met online. >> you people that are married been in long relationships you have no idea what it's like out there right now. >> reporter: so comedian aziz ansari teaming up with sociologist eric klinenberg set out to examine the existing research on dating and relationships. then came up with data on their own. they designed a massive project which included hundreds of interviews and focus groups done all over the world. and then created their own form on reddit where thousands of messages help formed the basis for the conclusions in their new book. the result? an in-depth look at how much dating has changed from a generation ago and a breakdown of how people really behave online when looking for love with a road map. >> for single people i would say it's not only necessary but critical you use online as one of your options. >> reporter: they outlined some conclusions in "the new york times" on sunday. one, people filter too much. too much specific about what
8:13 am
they want. when research shows that people really don't know what they want. two, picture does not make perfect. there is too much emphasis placed on what people look like. and, three, we all need to go slower. give a relationship a chance to grow and not to give up too quickly thinking there's someone more perfect out there online. all right. so apparent i have to rethink my profile pic. awesome. you know in that "new york times" piece, they emphasized online dating sites are a place to meet people, not to actually date them. anthropologists saying these sites should be called introducing services. and you should save some vetting when you see the person in person would seem to make sense, amy. >> human contact. it's really, you know, something. yeah. i mean, hello. so we're happy here to have aziz ansari with us. [ cheers and applause ] talking about his book "modern romance." and finding love in the digital age. aziz, we all know that obviously technology has changed the way
8:14 am
we date. but you say you found in writing this book, it changes how we view love and marriage. >> yeah, you know, we interviewed a lot of people in older generations and went to retirement homes and different places and we gave them a bunch of doughnuts and asked them to talk to us about their relationships. and what's interesting is people there in the older generations that we taked to they would marry people that looifd pretty close to them. all these crazy studies show people would marry people who lived -- 1 out of 12 people in philadelphia married someone in the same building. >> and married young. >> married very young and date people for a few months, the parents would meet and say, yeah this person wont murder you. and they would get married. it wasn't this search for, oh, this -- >> perfection? perfect soul mate. >> yeah. >> it's a big difference and i think that's why a lot of people now are frustrated trying to find this perfect thing. >> that doesn't exist. >> maybe, may or may not. >> all these people think they found the answers.
8:15 am
okcupid sench searched as well. the key question could be do you like horror movies? do you buy that? >> they said like people fill out all those profiles and make you answer a million questions. are there any questions that seem to kind of predict that people end up doing well. it was random stuff like do you like horror movies? agreeing on that ended up ending showing some sort of success. ultimately, whatever those things do it doesn't really matter. ultimately just like meeting a person and realizing -- >> having a conversation. >> see if you can imbibe with them. i think you have all these questions, do you want someone with this that or whatever? but what you really are looking for is someone you can hold and watch a few hours of a critically acclaimed drama with and go to bed. >> aziz, you talk a lot about first impressions. we all place too much on them. i liked your analogy you compare them to music. we might hear a song and think,
8:16 am
ah it's okay. but before you know it it's one of the ones we're singing and it becomes one of the ones we can't stop singing. >> yeah, we're all like a drake song, you know. you first hear it, okay, i've heard this before. >> what's your advice? >> keep listening to the people. like spend -- i feel people go out once, oh, yeah, he had a weird hat on or something and it's like, all right, hang out with the person a little bit more. there's just so much science that shows the more time you speed with people the more you discover -- >> do you think there's too much choice out there? >> that's the thing that people when we interviewed young people they said a lot. there's just so many options out there. so much choice and, again, a lot of science that shows like whenever there's more options it's actually harder to make a choice and when you do you're less satisfied. >> and i think now, you're told, don't settle. don't settle. i have a question for you. you gave pretty bad examples of texts men have sent to women in your book. like the generic first text to a lady, hey. can that ruin a relationship before it even gets started? >> well it's not that it will
8:17 am
like ruin a relationship. but it's like okay it was interesting because we just looked at people's real phones. and like hundreds of women's phones that we looked at. with when you see what dudes are texting them, a lot of it just like what are you doing? [ laughter ] and it's like, that's not going to really help you -- >> that's a conversation starter. >> it doesn't help you stand out. >> i'm surprised it's not what are you wearing. >> there's that too. >> morning television. >> right, sorry. obviously "nightline," i apologize. >> hide your phone, dan. hide your phone. >> educational read and funny. aziz's book "modern romance" available now, check it out. thank you, aziz. >> thanks, guys. next up in our "gma heat index." a bizarre craze spreading across social media. it's actually called the belly button challenge. a lot of experts say it sends the wrong message to kids about their bodies. debra roberts is here with the details.
8:18 am
>> reporter: that's the concern. here we go again with another one of those wild internet sensations. it's gaining a quick following and spurring selfies everywhere. it doesn't appear to be dangerous but health experts say take another look. it's taking social media by storm. >> all right, guys, i'm going to try the belly button challenge. >> reporter: a bizarre task requiring you to twist your arm behind your back and around to touch your belly button? this viral craze using the #bellybuttonchallenge pops up last week and has gone global. people all over from canada to australia are giving ate shot. some successful. others not so much. >> the belly button challenge is something that most people are not going to be able to achieve. >> reporter: in fact though some may see it as a harmless challenge experts worry it's sending the wrong message to girls, perilously given that studies show that 80% of teen girls don't like their bodies. >> the belly button challenge could create a state of self-discrepancy in a young person creating this ideal that the person really can't look like. and it's going to make them feel like a failure if they can't reach it.
8:19 am
that could be the perfect recipe for developing an eating disorder. >> reporter: the idea being compared to so-called thin spiration trends. like the thigh gap. >> i'm constantly surprised at how many crazy things we come up with. >> reporter: doctors warn it's not a reliable marker of a healthy weight. >> this is not a test of fitness. not being able to touch your belly button doesn't mean you need to eat less or work out more or do anything differently. >> reporter: does this hot new contortion trick measure anything at all? >> all it shows is flexibility. some people have longer arms. some people have shorter arms. some people are more flexible around the spine. >> if you can't do the challenge, don't worry about it. the challenge is totally ridiculous. >> reporter: ridiculous because probably the average person can't even come close to doing it. i tried it and only succeeded in throwing out my hip and shoulder. so it's like what's the point anyway. just another one of those crazy things kids are doing but sends a bad message i think. >> it sure does. >> absolutely. >> if you're worried about your body type.
