7:14 am
frightened and weak. his lawyer has insisted to a belgian newspaper. already, abdeslam has revealed he wasn't meant to be the only surviving terrorist of the november attacks. he was supposed to be among the team of suicide bombers that he drove to the germany/france game. but he backed out. ditching his suicide vest and calling accomplices to come pick him up and take him to belgium. belgian authorities tell us this morning the arrest could trigger a new attack or make the terrorist go to ground and wait for the pressure to ease up. the alert in belgium hasn't been raised yet. but european officials say the likelihood of new attacks is very high. >> something to keep in mind. alex, thank you. now to amy with the other headlines. breaking news out of north korea. >> north korea fired off five missiles overnight, all landing in sea. this morning's launching come as u.s. and south korea hold their largest joint exercise. north korea says those drills are rehearsal for invasion.

7:32 am
hours before awarding him $115 million. once the verdict was read, hulk hogan bursting into tears and hugging his legal team. >> this is not only his victory but also anyone else who has been victimized by tabloid journalism. >> reporter: earlier in the trial, hogan telling the jury the tape that showed him having sex in 2007 with then-wife of his best friend at the time, bubba clem, turned his world upside-down. >> completely humiliating. >> reporter: in closing arguments his lawyer portraying gawk founder as a danger to society. >> everybody is some sort of a public figure. privacy invasion has a positive effect on society. who thinks like that. >> reporter: but gawker says hogan made his sex life news. giving them first amendment protection. >> giving the key evidence and
7:33 am
the most important witness in this case were withheld from the jury, we all knew that this -- the appeals court would need to resolve this case. >> reporter: denton is referring to bubba clem the judge would not let him testify because of his plans to plead the fifth. early on he said hogan knew he was being recorded and then later changed his story. gawker wants all of that considered in his appeal. robin. >> all right, linzie. thank you very much. joining us on what's next, dan abrams. lot of people talking about this. what do you make of the verdict? >> it's a crazy verdict. no matter how much you hate gawker and you side with hulk hogan, $115 million verdict before the punitive damages, meaning before the point where they're supposed to be punishing gawker makes no sense. the idea that they're giving economic damages in this case to hulk hogan, $55 million that he
7:34 am
supposedly suffered economically as a result of this makes no sense. so, i think they've got a very good chance of getting this reduced significantly on appeal. >> gawker has a good case for the appeal. >> yes. lot of people saying, no, problem, they'll go to the appellate court and they're going to throw this out. i'm not so sure. if i'm gawker i'm still incredibly nervous and concerned. yes, i'm confident that an appellate court will reduce the amount of this verdict. $115 million to $40 million. when it comes to economic and emotional damages. gawker is still in big trouble. the phase we're about to see the next day or so, where they'll punish them. >> that phase is? >> the punitive damages. it's supposed to be the time where they reward hogan with what he deserves and time to punish gawker with money. it seems pretty clear they have punished gawker with a lot of
7:35 am
money. >> lot of people are saying, hey, this is great news if you're worried about these tabloids being able to say anything about you and you're saying, maybe not -- so fast. >> i think this is going to have a big impact on anyone trying to publish a sex tape. that's going to be the impact it's going to have but we'll have to see what happens. >> people are wanting to watch -- >> lot of people are celebrating. the number doesn't make any sense. >> gotcha. >> it was eye-opening. thanks very much. a survival story now about two teens on spring break lucky to be alive after the engine in their plane gave out and they crash landed. they're speaking out about the terrifying moments. abc's kendis gibson has the story. >> several occupants and it looks like they're getting out of the plane but injured. >> reporter: this morning, two high school students recounting their spring break nightmare. >> i didn't know what to do. what was going on.

but hurry, this offer won't last long come seek the royal caribbean book today at 1-800-royalcaribbean. >> announcer: this is an abc news special report. the president in cuba. making history. now reporting george stephanopoulos. good morning. we are breaking now for a moment of history. the official rival ceremony for president obama in cuba. he is of course the first american present to visit cuba since calvin coolidge back in 1928. you see him walking up the red carpet of the palace of the revolution. in a few moments the president will be greeted by president raul castro, 84 years old, of course the brother of fidel castro, the founding present of the state of cuba.
7:55 am
he and his brother together have ruled cuba together with an iron fist for nearly six decades. you see the president now approaching the palace. inside an honor guard of the cuban military. the president will also be meeting with president raul castro later today, holding a joint press statement, press availability as well, before a state dinner tonight. as we watch the president i'm joined by "world news" anchor david muir. you met with the president yesterday. you'll have an exclusive interview tonight. as we keep our eye on the president, we are hear from david later. but we are about to see president obama greeted there by raul castro. there's president raul castro and president obama together for this moment of history.
7:56 am
jon karl in cuba as well. a long time coming for this meeting. >> reporter: it sure has been, george. and you know it's a meeting that also shows one thing that is yet to be done here with the president's policy. when he announced this dramatic change, re-opening diplomatic relations with cuba, he said that he would visit this country if there were signs of improvement to the human rights situation, and frankly, one thing we have not seen since diplomatic relations have been re-established is any improvement. in fact, 50 dissidents were arrested just a few miles from here. human rights groups say 25 dissidents were arrested in this country just in the first two months of this year. as the president makes this historic visit here, meeting face-to-face with raul castro here in havana, this is still a country that is very much a one-party state, a country where
7:57 am
it is dangerous to be critical of the government. >> and david muir spoke with the president yesterday and will sit down with him today after he meets with president castro. what do you expect to be the focus of that meeting? >> reporter: listen, he told me that he's going to be very frank with president castro. the meeting will be a private one where the president said that raul castro already understands that change is coming to cuba, george. the only question is how much president castro can actually control the pace of that. and the real test here will be the president's historic speech on live television here to the cuban people. i asked the president how strongly he would word that speech, will he take on their president during that speech, will there be a berlin wall moment. he told me that essentially that wall moment has happened here. business has begun to open up, entrepreneurs are blossoming, but he said expect him to be very honest with the cuban people that there needs to be reform here when it comes to human rights and the freedoms of
7:58 am
ordinary cuban people, george. >> jim avila also in havana. the president starting this process back in december 2014 with his opening up to cuba. you visited cuba more than 35 times in the last 20 years. what are the hopes there for the kind of changes that will follow? >> reporter: i think there's a lot of hope, george. in fact, when the cuban people see the pictures they're seeing today, it will have quite an impression. remember, this is a president from the united states. the united states for years has been trying to topple the castros. in fact, there have been -- this is just 50 years since the bay of pigs when the united states officially tried to overthrow this government, and now you have riding down the mol acohn of cuba, president obama welcomed by raul castro who was one of the generals who was trying to fight the americans just 55 years ago. this is quite an impression that's being made on the cuban people today. they have a lot of hope for more freedom, but as we've heard,
7:59 am
there's still a lot of work to do and the president acknowledges that. the biggest change you will see on the streets today since the change in december is that there are more americans here. there are about 30 percent more americans traveling to this country than ever before. >> and we're seeing the president there walk in with president raul castro. we saw his team there as well, secretary of state john kerry and the secretary of agriculture. ♪. and the cuban military band plays their national anthem, we're going to sign off right now and return to regular programming. full coverage of the president's trip and all the latest news on abcnews.com and watch for david's exclusive interview with the president tonight on "world news." have a good day.

>> the president said that he believes it's time for this visit. as you know, 88 years. the last president to be here. calvin coolidge in 1928. the president is aware of the criticism from some who believe it's too early, the embargo should not be lifted but he says the help already arrived is helping ordinary cubans and he's going to make that a part of his message when he talks to the cuban people, a historic moment tomorrow. i asked him how far he'll press this president and he said he'll be very honest with him and of course before that speech even happens a private meeting with president raul castro today. an honest meeting. we'll sit down with president obama right after that. >> we will be looking for that on "world news tonight" as we seeing the president being greeted by members of his own delegation. susan rice greeting raul castro. the secretary of commerce as well. jon karl also in cuba right now.

john, the president under some fairly heavy criticism especially the republican candidates for right tackle. >> reporter: from republicans and also from some of his own party. this is a dramatic change in u.s. policy to see a president here on the ground in cuba all smiles with cuban president raul castro. the pressure that the president has been under is this happens despite the fact there's been no tangible progress on issues of human rights. you have had a number of dissidents arrested in the past 24 hours, 50 arrested at a demonstration not far from here. you know, you have a situation where the president when he opened -- made this dramatic move to re-establish diplomatic relations, reopened the embassy here in cuba he said he would make a trip here but it would be to highlight progress on issues of liberty and freedom for ordinary cubans. that progress has not been seen here yet in havana. that's something the president
8:05 am
is under criticism for. the argument the white house makes is that this is the way to press for progress is to engage the cuban people and government. >> let's talk more about the cuban people. jim avila has visited cuba so many times over the last 20 years. what are they seeing in this visit by president obama? >> reporter: i think the cubans are hoping that they're seeing hope in president obama. he's probably the most popular politician in cuba, more popular that fidel or raul castro. what they're seeing on their tv screens is an american president shaking hands, smiling along with raul castro, certainly amazing. >> we'll have more tonight with david muir and the interview with president obama as we're live on the west coast for "gma." but now we'll go back to sam champion bringing us the weather. >> just pause it's spring.
