we've just increased the speeds on two of our most popular plans. good morning, america. breaking overnight, south carolina lawmakers voting to take down the confederate flag from statehouse grounds. >> take a symbol of hate off these grounds on friday. >> we'll have the emotional late night debate. also breaking overnight, fiery takeoff. an engine catches fire on a crowded southwest jet. 143 passengers on board. the pilots abort the flight. video from inside the plane as a passenger captures the scary nt. on edge, the mystery meltdown that grounded planes and shut down the stock exchange. was it a coincidence or a malicious attack as the head of the fbi delivers another chilling new warning about another threat, the secret messages from isis. >> kill, kill, kill, kill. >> how the brutal terror group

is reaching followers here in this country. selfie stick rescue. a teenage girl and her father sucked into the ocean by a powerful rip current fighting to swim back to shore. their entire frightening ordeal caught on a gopro camera. the girl refuses to let go of the selfie stick. they say it saved their lives. and good morning, america. a lot going on this thursday morning. we want to get right to that historic vote in south carolina. you're looking live at the grounds of the south carolina statehouse. that confederate flag right there will not be flying much longer. it could come down as early as today. >> and we want to take a look at the scene on the floor of the house after that vote to remove it. as you can see so many people so emotional, some people see the flag as a symbol of hate. others argued it was part of their southern heritage. it was a bitter battle to the very end and abc's steve osunsami starts us off at

columbia, south carolina. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. people who oppose the flag behind me say it's part of america's shame. put here in 1961 to protest court ordered desegregation. removing it is a significant moment for the state and many across the country and it could come down as early as today. >> house will come to order. gallery will please come to order. >> reporter: in a vote overnight many thought would never happen south carolina lawmakers move to bring down the battle flag at the statehouse and debated for nearly 14 hours passionately, some with tears in their eyes. >> i cannot believe that we do not have the heart in this body to do something meaningful such as take a symbol of hate off these grounds on friday. >> reporter: lawmakers defending

the battle flag argued for something, some nod to the history of so many. >> i grew up with that flag as a heritage. i didn't see issue and i don't see issue now. >> reporter: but the deaths of nine people killed at emanuel ame church in charleston last month loomed large over the statehouse. >> i attended the funeral of senator clementa pinckney and the people of charleston deserve removal of that flag from this grounds. >> reporter: the feeling here is those deaths should be honored using law to remove the sting of these pictures, the alleged gunman seen holding a gun in one hand and a confederate flag in the other. >> we have the ability to set a new image for south carolina in the world. >> reporter: the governor who was working behind the scenes has promised to sign this law saying in a statement overnight "it is a new day in south carolina, a day we can all be proud of." i'm one of the people who was skeptical that lawmakers would ever agree to this.

15 years ago i stood in this very same spot reporting on the boycotts this state faced as a result of this battle flag. boycotts that have continued until this very day. george and robin. >> boy, steve is exactly right. that debate had been going on so long been so bitter but the flag still flew. not anymore. >> as he reported the governor saying a new day, a new day in south carolina. >> okay. we're going to move on to that wave of computer problems across america yesterday. halting trading on the new york stock exchange grounding united airline flights and shutting down "the wall street journal's" website all blamed on glitches not cyberattacks but many worry that it was not a coincidence. abc's chief investigative correspondent brian ross here with the story. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, george. u.s. officials say they have no evidence that the computer breakdowns were the result of a massive coordinated cyberattack but some cyberterror experts say it is still far too soon to know that for sure.

the official version is it was just a computer glitch that grounded all those united airlines flights. >> let me apologize for the technology issues we had this morning. >> reporter: and that it was just a coincidence when another computer glitch shut down trading at the new york stock exchange forcing its president on to the air to calm nerves. >> it was not external. it was an internal technical problem. >> reporter: and when a third computer glitch blocked access to "the wall street journal" that it was just a coincidence. >> coincidences do happen but it's the job of the government to verify whether or not it really was a coincidence or malicious activity designed to look like a coincidence. >> reporter: both the stock exchange and major airlines are designated as critical infrastructure. >> right now anybody who says they know for sure what happened before the forensic work has been done is kidding themselves.

>> reporter: the disruptions were serious enough for the president to be briefed. >> our security posture is continually evolving to reflect the current threat environment. >> reporter: there's no doubt the cyberworld is an increasingly dangerous place. and whatever happened here and it could take weeks to find out yesterday's computer chaos underscored the fragility of the systems that we rely on and take for granted in everyday life. >> it does, thank you. a different type of technology concern now. a warning from james comey. he says isis is becoming more sophisticated sending secret messages making it harder to track the thousands of suspected followers in this country. abc's pierre thomas is in washington with more on that. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the fbi director was unusually blunt, sober even making the case he's facing a new unprecedented threat. the fbi director giving congress this chilling warning about how new technology is helping isis. >> i don't want to scare people by saying i'm certain people

will die, what i'm certain of is on the current course, current course and speed my ability to discharge my number one responsibility will be materially diminished. >> reporter: he's worried because the slick social media campaign by isis has come full circle with 21,000 english speaking followers worldwide including many inside the u.s. the social media campaign's message. >> they're pushing this through twitter. so there is a device, almost a devil on their shoulder all day long saying, kill, kill, kill, kill. >> reporter: and comey warned that isis now has found a way to hide its communications. >> if they find someone interested in this, we will see them give them directions to a mobile messaging app that is end-to-end encrypted and tell them contact me here, and they disappear. >> reporter: authorities call it going dark. the result they say of new technology on smartphones and computers which can make them immune to surveillance even with a court order.

comby co appeared worried plots are developing in the shad does and that the fbi could miss something. george? >> boy, that was such striking testimony, pierre. okay, thanks very much. it's time for your voice, your vote and more headlines for donald trump. presidential candidate takes a call from the head of the republican party as jeb bush scrambles to clarify his latest comments about work in america. tom llamas covering it and joins us now. >> reporter: good morning to you. some of the republican candidates are learning this morning the power of words. donald trump not backing down and jeb bush now involved in a twitter battle with the hillary clinton campaign over something he said yesterday. this morning, abc news has learned the chairman of the republican national committee is telling donald trump to curb his comments on undocumented immigrants because it will hurt the entire party. just last night, trump making these comments on cnn. >> mexico pushes back people across the border that are criminals, that are drug dealers. >> reporter: trump also claiming there are 34 million undocumented immigrants in the u.s.

the pew research center says that number is closer to 11 million and several studies showed there is no evidence immigrants commit more crimes than native born americans. when pressed about a report in "the washington post" claiming some construction workers at his d.c. hotel project are undocumented immigrants trump said if it's true he'd fire them on the spot. >> you haven't shown us anything. i wish they'd give us the names. we would get rid of them immediately. >> reporter: trump tripling down on his immigration rhetoric as it's costing him big bucks. univision, nbc, espn, the nascar, macy's, sealy, all cutting ties with the donald, this as jeb bush on the defense after making this statement in new hampshire. >> workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows, it means that people need to work longer hours. >> reporter: the democratic national committee pouncing on the longer hours comment saying

it's one of the most out of touch comments this cycle but bush firing back saying he was talking about the underemployed, part-time workers, not full time employees. >> people are struggling so giving people a chance to work longer hours is part of the answer. >> reporter: even the campaign of fellow republican ted cruz says bush should avoid the comments that led voters to believe that governor romney was out of touch with the economic struggles many americans are facing george? >> economy always front and center in presidential campaigns. thanks very much. now to the mystery surrounding new york giants star jason pierre-paul who was injured in a fireworks accident on july 4th. but this morning we're learning it was worse than first thought. one of his fingers had to be amputated. abc's ryan smith is here with more on that. good morning, ryan. >> good morning to you, robin. two nfl players becoming a cautionary tale for what happens when you mess with fireworks and with training camps weeks away, fireworks accidents involving

giants, jason pierre paul and buccaneers' c.j. wilson not only costing them their fingers but leaving their playing status in doubt. in football a blair's hands are their livelihood. this morning, two nfl players, new york giants star defensive end jason per paul and the tampa bay buccaneers cornerback c.j. wilson both putting those prime assets in jeopardy. both losing fingers in firework mishaps over the fourth of july weekend. pierre paul severely injuring both hands, reportedly while attempting to light fireworks in florida remains hospitalized. medical charts reportedly showing the two-time pro bowler had his right index finger amputated on wednesday. before the incident, pierre-paul posted this video to instagram holding an infant. >> talk about fireworks on the ground. >> he went ahead with this surgery because he thought it would be the quicker way to heal and get on the field this season. >> reporter: as for wilson, the two-year pro reportedly losing two fingers during a celebration

with family and friends. >> at one of the friend's house a bunch of them got together just shooting off a bunch of fireworks. had one explode while he was holding it in his hands. >> reporter: wilson's agent declining to talk about specifics. his team telling abc news our primary concern at the moment is for his long-term health. now both players' injuries could cost them not only on the field but off it. for pierre-paul, the setback could be a financially costly one. he was offered a $14.8 million deal for next season and was negotiating a long-term deal with the team and that could be in jeopardy. while sources tell espn that he could return sooner than people think, it's unclear when wilson will return to the field. robin, george. >> thank you very much. michael, i know you want to weigh in. this is just unbelievable what's happening. >> yeah, i mean i've never, of course, experienced anything like this but you need your hands. that is your business. having a finger amputated, i

think you could play without the finger, but it's the sensitive of your hand but you never play at that position you don't need your hands. one of the most essential things. >> when you're a professional athlete aren't you aware of putting yourself -- >> you're young. you're a kid. you don't think it's going to happen to you. it's a firework. it doesn't look that dangerous. you probably have done it since he was a kid. having fun. for him, he was probably just having fun, the usual fun he's always had, and it went wrong. >> we were talking about the bottle rocket wars when we were kids now i think, what were we thinking? >> it's insane. >> yeah, it was but we hope he makes a full recovery. now to amy with the other top stories. >> a southwest airlines jet had to abort takeoff last night after a passenger saw this out the window. the engine catching fire. more than 140 passengers were on the flight. that was heading to boston. no one was injured and the plane is now being inspected. the passengers took another flight. family and friends will gather today to remember kate steinle, the woman gunned down

in san francisco by that undocumented immigrant deported to mexico five times and now we are learning how the suspect ended back in san francisco. the sheriff had been blaming federal authorities but a letter uncovered by abc station kgo shows the request for custody of francisco sanchez actually came from that same sheriff's department. sanchez was facing a marijuana possession charge from 20 years ago. community leaders in baltimore are applauding the mayor's decision to fire the city's police commissioner. baltimore has been in turmoil since the death of freddie gray while in police custody sparking days of riots in april. and overseas a stunning number, the u.n. now says more than 4 million people have fled the civil war in syria. it is the worst refugee crisis the world has seen in nearly a quarter century. there is some good news for stocks overnight. the markets in asia rebounded following wednesday's steep losses. china's government has taken new action to boost the market

banning the largest investors from selling stock for six months. and finally it might be hard to imagine, but flying coach could get even more uncomfortable. one of the top airline seat manufacturers apparently figured out how to cram more people on to a plane so they've released this sketch of a new seat configuration. look closely. every other seat faces the opposite direction. that means a lot of potentially uncomfortable face-to-face time with your fellow passengers. look at that. so far this is only a concept. let's hope it stays that way but just in case it doesn't, they're calling this the economy class hexagon cabin. so do not pick that seat. if you see that when you're picking -- hexagon, no. >> from the beginning when you said -- i heard ginger go huh-uh. >> people without their shoes on, putting their feet up. that's gross. >> the story just killed that idea. let's move on right now. we turn to all those spills at the tour de france.

the world's premiere bike race. this year dozens of riders have gone down in spectacular and scary chain reaction crashes. abc's neal karlinsky has the story. >> reporter: this morning, the tour de france is shedding riders and keeping ambulances on overtime. bike mounted gopro cameras, a new addition to the tour this year offer a terrifying view of the carnage. seven crashes on rain slick roads wednesday alone including this huge pileup. last year overeager fans getting in the way taking selfies crashed riders. this year high speeds up to 40 miles per hour, rain and crosswinds, more than a half dozen riders already forced out with broken bones. >> you've got everybody trying to get up to the front to be ahead of the inevitable crashes. >> reporter: earlier in the week this high-speed crash, riders famous for their refusal to ever give up flung from their bikes like rag dolls. race leader fabian cancellara broke his back. got on his bike and finished the race anyway only to be pulled out later.

australian michael matthewss that been racing with cracked ribs from repeated crashes but he won't give in. >> my ribs were jumping in and out of place a few times there. >> reporter: the danger is real. riders literally putting their lives on the line with only lightweight helmets and skintight spandex for protection and there's still more than two weeks and 1500 miles to go. for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, seattle. >> that's not the only sporting event going on. lara drew a very tough assignment this morning because she's at wimbledon. so good morning to you, lara spencer. >> i know. michael, you know i love tennis and today i have to lower my voice. it is all about the ladies. both ladies semifinals happening on centre court just over there today. but the one that everybody is talking about, of course, serena versus maria. this is a rivalry to be sure but

a one-sided rivalry a bit. serena has taken down maria 16 out of 16 of their last outings. but i am telling you, her insiders tell me she does not take it for granted for a second. in fact, the espn analysts were telling me that this is a rivalry sort of in football terms, michael, like michigan versus ohio state. kind of feel that? that's what it's going to be like. it's going to be fierce. it's going to be fabulous. and i guarantee you it's going to be loud. you know what's also going to be loud? "pop news" wimbledon style. that's coming up, guys. >> how will she keep quiet doing "pop news"? we'll find out. >> happy out there. >> you can see all the action at wimbledon on espn this morning. but now to all these damaging storms all around the country. >> there was a tornado in missouri. there was this, picture out of north carolina. just west of charlotte, in kings mountain. real quick look, philadelphia, washington, d.c., even scranton in the severe weather threat.

her nearly $230,000 after more than 150 robocalls were made to her cell phone. >> the judge thought was also particularly egregious was that they kept calling her after she filed a lawsuit against them. >> reporter: just look at this phone record. six calls in less than 12 hours. turns out the calls weren't even for her. according to an fcc regulation, it's actually illegal for companies to robocall personal cell phones without the consumer's permission. and if the consumer sees they can be awarded between $500 and $1500 for each of those calls. 68% of cell phone owners say they receive at least some unwanted calls, a quarter of them say it happens several times a week. this man was called more than 500 times in a year and a half. >> hi, can i speak to leroy? >> this is he. >> leroy. >> yes. >> hi, may i speak with leroy buchholz? >> don't bother calling me anymore.

>> reporter: he also sued the company that was calling him and settled for $275,000. and this 17-year-old high school student was called 204 times for a debt she didn't owe. >> they started calling two and three times a call so i just shut the phone off. >> stop it today. >> reporter: the fcc passed new rues just last month making it harder for robocalls to reach you but experts say most consumers still don't know how to fight back. >> this is what americans will finally know is my right. it's my right to not be harassed by these people. >> reporter: a spokesperson for time warner cable told us that they are looking into their options to determine how they will proceed. now, if you're one of those people who's annoyed by robocalls, the lawyer we spoke to said keep a record of the calls, determine the business that's making the calls, tell them you want them to stop calling immediately. if they keep calling you, robin, you can sue. >> all right, linsey, thank you. so many of us get these calls and they will not stop so we

want to know how you can fight back and that's why our legal analyst dan abrams is going to weigh in on this. first of all the legal aspect of it. what are our legal rights? >> this is a federal law u-and it makes it against the law to basically, telemarketing purposes, robocalls, automated calls with recorded messages to either a land line or a cell phone. >> either one? >> either one and it used to be tougher on cell phones because, remember, of course, it used to be before we had these unlimited plans you had to pay for every call you got so immediately they went after the cell phones say, wait a second, i don't want to have pay for these calls sending automated messages. now you're seeing land lines are catching up to the cell phones. bottom line, it is against the law to do it. >> so we have our rights here, so what do we do? >> well, the first thing you want to do, ask the company if you're getting them to stop doing it. you want to ask to speak to a customer service representative and get put on their do not call list. if that doesn't work, then you start to take some action. i would say take some notes, for

example, on exactly when you're getting the calls, really important to have logs of exactly what time those calls are coming in. and the best thing you could do is try to record the messages. i mean if you can tape-record them, then you've got the ultimate piece of evidence because then you can bring it to a lawyer and say, look, i've got these logs, i've got these notes. i've got these unwanted calls. remember, you have to have made it clear that it's unwanted and you're talking about 500 to $1500 a call. >> so you have to have some proof to let people know that. >> how about political calls that we receive? >> right, so those are sort of a gray area right now and some of these new regulations that linsey was just talking about could make it illegal for pollsters to be doing their kinds of calls, as well. it's kind of a gray area right now particularly in the landlines, but some of the pollsters are concerned that some of these new regulations are going to prevent them from doing what they do. >> and debt collectors. >> debt collectors, same thing

as telemarketers when it comes to robocalls. >> good to know. >> thank you. we'll move on to the "heat index" and amy schumer. comedian is red hot. got a hit tv show, movie on the way and she is as candid as ever in an interview with "glamour." opening up about accepting your body. gender double standards and always staying confident. here's paula faris. >> today i get to do a cover shoot for "glamour." what a dream day. >> reporter: amy schumer unplugged. >> did we not get the shot yet? i can only make three faces. >> reporter: "glamour" magazine getting inside the comedian's head. >> there it is the signature look that men can't say no to. >> reporter: comedy's bad girl giving good tips to women in a candid interview conducted by the star's very own sister. >> i was wondering what advice you would give. >> reporter: sometimes co-star on her hit comedy central show "inside amy schumer." the self-deprecating superstar tell egg the magazine i want to make women laugh. i want to make them feel

beautiful in their own skin. i want to empower them to use their own voice and not apologize. >> she says things that you're not thinking. sometimes you don't know you're thinking them until she says them. yes, that is what i've been noticing. >> reporter: schumer has found great success in saying the things that most other women don't dare to. >> boo, work, we hate work. >> reporter: getting attention recently at the uk glamour women of the year awards by saying in her outrageous way that she ha no trouble attracting men. >> i'm like 160 pounds now and i can catch [ bleep ] whenever i want. that's the truth. >> reporter: echoing those thoughts in the interview. i have a belly and i have cellulite and i still deserve love. >> what makes women to amy's brand of feminism is that while she's quite often angry at the injustices that she sees, you end up watching these videos and thinking, okay, you know, we can all do something about this. you're kind of laughing with millions of women around the world and that's incredibly powerful.

>> reporter: a woman now making us do much more than laugh. >> you are welcome. there's more where that came from. >> reporter: for "good morning america," paula faris, abc news, new york. >> she does make us laugh. >> we're glad she's making us laugh. >> i can't wait for that movie. >> "trainwreck." the premiere in akron. that's going to be great tomorrow. also burning up the "heat index," a story we first saw in "the new york times." how you can lose weight without breaking the bank. it turns out the new health care law actually requires insurance companies to cover some weight loss programs. abc's mara schiavocampo has the story for us. >> let's go. >> let's go! >> reporter: losing weight. a universal struggle like some contestants on "extreme makeover." >> you better run. >> reporter: and losing that weight often requires pricey diet programs. but now some weight loss regimens are covered under the affordable health care act,

which requires insurers to pay for nutrition and obesity screening. that's right. they pay you to lose weight. >> i went to every weight loss program under the sun and it just wasn't working for me. >> reporter: nanette who says she's struggled with weight most of her life was shocked when her doctor's program of high protein foods counseling and exercise was reimbursed by her insurance company. >> had a $20 deductible and that was nothing compared to what i would have had to pay if i didn't have insurance. >> patients are paying, you know, 40% to 80% less. >> reporter: today 23 states cover bariatric or gastric bypass surgery and 16 states now include some coverage for dietary and nutritional screening. counseling and weight loss programs. and you don't have to be so severely overweight. you'll be covered with a body mass index over 30 or bmi of 27 with obesity related diseases. >> by helping them to loose weight oftentimes the diabetes,

hypertension improves arthritis, back pain. >> >> reporter: coverage is limited to doctors, nurses and dietitians but not necessarily jenny craig or weight watchers and supplements, pills and shakes are not covered. although some prescriptions are. there are concerns that it is also creating a financial opportunity for some unproven weight loss methods. >> there will be people that will offer quick fixes that say, look, i can help you lose weight in six months, three months, 30 days, it's just not sustainable. >> reporter: but for nanette who has lost over 30 pounds and dropped her bmi to 27, it has been life changing. for "good morning america," mara schiavocampo, abc news, new york. >> many people didn't realize. >> yeah. >> now outside to ginger. ginger? 6 >> good morning, robin. look at this crowd, despite the drizzle out here.

in new york city. my new little friend. your name? >> arianna. >> she's from georgia. did you know that in georgia you've actually been cooler some of the days than seattle, washington. they spent 14 plus days now at 80 or above. you're looking at a live look there and it's going to be another warm one for today. but then the temperatures start to drop back to what is normal and may see showers late in the weekend. the fire danger still out for today, though, too. that's a look from west to east looking for severe storms from philadelphia down to washington, d.c. >> good morning, i am meteorologist mike nicco with the bay area forecast. it will be a damp day with drizzle and showers possible and cooler-than-average temperatures. another chance drizzle for tomorrow's commute and warmer and cry weekend is shaping you. temperatures are below average from 60s at the coast and 60s and 70s around the bay and inland with the best chance of scattered showers and storms across the north bay and best chance of drizzle is along the coast and into san francisco. the seven-day forecast shows summer runs next i am loving all the kids out

than a horticulture experiment. the people from pimm's immediately responding to the tweet ordering all bartenders to restrict the amount of mint leaves to three. the company telling us "it's of the utmost importance to us that judy murray is drinking her pimm's happily." and finally, check out this budding wimbledon star in training. working on her feline forehand and meow-verhand. her coach signing her up only in singles. >> as you can see, she's not so great at sharing the court. and in addition to doubles partners in "pop news," we have decided to take on the challenge of making sure that all pimm's cups served at wimbledon are regulation. everybody back in the studio, but before we throw back, johnny mac wants to tell a story about a very big match today. of course we know the match and

go ahead and share. >> well, first of all, mom, it's 5:00 somewhere but we know on paper sharapova and williams is one-sided but reminds me of my late buddy vitas gerulaitis. he played jimmy connors in madison square garden. he beat the guy and walked in and said, vitas, how did he do it, he said, no one beats vitas gerulaitis 17 times in a row. maria sharapova lost 16 times in a row so maybe it's still possible. >> it's possible. >> anything can happen. >> and we're going to talk to johnny mac tomorrow about the men's. cheers to you. >> cheers. >> i love how lara has an entire pitcher under neath her arm. we love you, lara. >> thank you, john. i heard him tell that story and vitas did say that. hysterical. nobody beats him 17 times. >> we'll be watching and how lara was able to work back in her halloween costume. >> still cracks us up. >> still funny. >> that's why we sent her over there. just so we can repurpose that video. we still have a lot more on

play by the rules at wimbledon and that goes for what the players wear and it has to be white. that's strictly enforced by the fashion police. let's go to the always fashionable lara spencer at the all england club with more on this. tough dress code isn't it lara? >> it's unbelievable robin. for example, how could something so innocent looking cause such problem? welcome to headbandgate. whether whacking backhands in australia, forcing forehands in france or serving up slices in the good old u.s. of a, there is no such thing as a skirt too short or color too bold. for the women, men of professional tennis. except when it comes to this place. the hallowed halls of tennis where the only thing that matters more than 130 plus years of sporting tradition is the color or lack thereof of your

outfit. just ask this year's quarterfinalist nick kqrgios who wore an illegal headband the crime, it was surprised of too much color but what's a player to do when the same illegal headband happens to also be the official tournament headband. tweeting the official wimbledon headband is too clocheful for wimbledon. nick kyrgios was forced to turn it inside out. really. tom perrotta tweeting it's the greatest thing ever that the official wimbledon headband has too much color for wimbledon. 2014 jeannie bouchard faced the fashion miss for this infraction. a barely recognizable black bra. the chair ump complaining but the referee's office ruling there was no violation. if you think it's easy to skirt the law here take a look inside the competitor's guide that says quote white does not include off white or cream. a single trim of color, no wider

than one centimeter is allowed. so when did wimbledon get so picky? it may seem like it's been this way for 137 years. but what about mcenroe venus, agassi. they had gotten a little more lenient until these showed up. that was too much and the 2014 it all stopped and it states only all white undergarments apply. turns out white may just be the new white. they are not kidding around right now agoa radwanska is playing. pretty boring looking but they do find their way to make their statement. if you look closely on the bottom ooh, she's getting wild with a little bit of lace much that's about as crazy as it gets here, guys. we'll have a lot more tomorrow on the women's semifinals and so

much more from wimbledon. i'll see you guys tomorrow and save a pimm's cup for you. >> you better do that. >> or not. >> or not because we saw the pitcher you had earlier and i wonder -- somebody's official job to check the undergarments. >> i'm not touching that one. >> smart, george. >> ali has taught you very well. you can watch all the matches from wimbledon on espn this morning. back out now to ginger again. >> on this -- yeah hot and humid and drizzly morning. i found cassidy. she wants to say hi obviously to -- >> my dad. >> saying hi to her dad. all right, cassidy's dad. we say hello too and a very good morning to everybody in washington, d.c. where the temperatures are already into the 70s. look at what's happening here with the numbers. they go into the 90s. there will be a hot and sticky one before the severe storms possible later this afternoon and evening. not only washington, d.c. but philadelphia the prime threat

>> good morning, i am meteorologist mike nicco with a chance of drizzle at coast all day and the rest of obvious isolated showers and thunder. my seven-day forecast shows it will be warmer and dry starting >> all that weather brought to you by mcdonald's and we are celebrating shark week all week on "gma." we're happy to have that fin-tatic sculpture amy, you have a lot more. >> a heartwarming story about two shark encounter survivors sharing their experiences with one another. a 16-year-old bitten off the income it can coast just last month is getting support from someone who knows exactly what he's going through. abc's t.j. holmes has the story. >> reporter: a month after a brutal shark encounter -- >> somebody has been attacked by a shark. his arm is gone. >> reporter: hunter treschl is bravely facing a new life

without his left arm. and recently hunter got a visit from a big fan. >> hello. >> hi hunter. i'm paul. >> nice to meet you. >> you too. >> reporter: discovery channel's marine conservational paul de gelder an australian navy diver who lost his right arm and leg to a bull shark. >> it came up and grabbed me by like the hand and the leg all in one bite so i tried to punch it in the head. and like all the stuff you think of. >> like none of this was going through my head like there was a shark and then there was no shark and i was on the beach. like that's all i remember. >> do you reckon you'll end up getting back in the water. >> i think so at some point. not that beach but, yeah i would like to get back in the water. >> i got to say you got a good sense of humor about it. seeing you, what you went through, not even three weeks after alive and bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. people will take a lot of inspiration from that. were you right-handed or left-handed. >> left-handed too. >> i was right-handed and now

you have to learn to write right-handed. >> it's getting there. the hardest was part getting used to holding a pen? a lot more patience than i do. >> i wouldn't say that. i gave up after about five or ten minutes. >> i used to get angry trying to do up a button and the button is so small and zippers on bags. opening a can. so much to look forward to, my friend. >> today hunter's focused on getting a prosthetic arm with the help of donations from his gofundme page much exathinking about a career in prosthetics engineering but got an offer from paul to consider as well. >> who know mate. a couple years' time we might be able to do a shark week show together. >> maybe. maybe. i'll think about it. >> baby steps? baby steps. >> reporter: for "good morning america," t.j. holmes, abc news, new york. >> wow. both hunter and paul such inspirations. shark week airs on the discovery channel through sunday and coming up next here on "gma," we have hot deals and stealses to
