breaking news, britain voters stunned the world choosing to go it alone and leave the european union, then suddenly the prime minister vows to resign. >> i think the country requires fresh leadership to take it in this direction. >> markets plunging around the world as panic and confusion sets in. the u.s. stock market bracing for a deep dive. donald trump is overseas this morning calling it a great thing, saying they took their country back. our team covering every angle for you this morning. also this morning, happening now, deadly floods rocking the country. this home in the east consumed by flames, a flash flood carrying it down that river. 500 people trapped in this walmart. as wildfires explode in the rest. >> this is really surreal.

i've never been in a wildland fire where i've seen so many homes burn. >> burning out of control torching dozens of homes families evacuated. rescues under way right now. the trial of the century. what prosecutor christopher darden is saying in the wake of that new o.j. documentary, blaming him for the verdict. >> the gloves fit. it's an illusion. it's propaganda. and saying no to rio. king james skipping the olympics. the world's most famous athlete refusing to go to brazil. the real reason behind lebron's decision to stay home and he says it's not zika and what it means for our chances for olympic gold. and we do say good morning, america. and so much breaking news. >> in fact we are getting right to the market board as we come on live in the west coast after that historic decision rocking europe. now hitting our economy hard and you can see there as we're on live this morning down 384

points. wall street opening just a short time ago. what this means for your money, your 401(k)s, we've got it all covered. our team around the world standing by and we'll begin with our chief foreign correspondent terry moran in london with the political shock wave being felt around the world after voters in britain decided to go it alone, terry. >> reporter: absolutely, david. good morning to you and the reason the market is tanking as you see is that markets hate uncertainty that, crose sink sense that every investment is a gamble in a world that investors no longer understand and that's because of what voters did here. they shocked the world as you said. they plunged the united kingdom and europe and, in fact, the world economy into deep uncertainty. overnight as the votes were counted. there was rising jubilation. >> 82,000. >> reporter: and growing trepidation until early this morning when the stunning news became official.

>> the british people have spoken, and the answer is, we're out. >> reporter: the impact was instantaneous. look at what happened to the value of the british pound as the votes came in, cratering in a few hours to the lowest level in decades. the next casualty, prime minister david cameron, who had urged his people to stay in europe, arguing they would be poorer outside the free trade zone of the eu. >> the shock to our economy after leaving europe would tip the country into recession. this could be for the first time in history a recession brought on ourselves. >> reporter: but this morning, choking back emotion, he resigned. >> i love this country, and i feel honored to have served it. >> reporter: but 17 million britons who voted to get out of the eu are delighted. >> winston churchill would be proud of us. he'd be out there now looking down at us, well done, great britain. well done. >> reporter: this was a rebellion, and immigration was a driving issue. low wage workers from poland, romania and other countries building resentment and the specter of refugees from the

middle east sparking fear. this controversial poster capturing the feeling of so many, breaking point. >> i think people have felt unheard. they've felt unlistened to. they felt ignored and alienated. >> reporter: now comes the hard part. britain must negotiate the terms of divorce from the european union. that could take a couple of years and european leaders are in no mood to give this country a good bargain. they want to set an example so no other countries do what they did here and a question of what happens here to this country. scotland might break off and go independent. they wanted to stay inside europe and their leader is already saying it's time for a vote on whether the united kingdom should break up. >> yes, signals that a scotland vote could come up. the u.s. markets open for about a half hour now and you can see down 350 at this point after being down more than 500 points at the opening bell. right to abc's rebecca jarvis who is on the floor inside the stock exchange. rebecca, it's going to be a difficult day ahead.

>> reporter: yes, that's what so many people here on wall street have been telling me throughout the morning, david. what has happened here to the stock market has been sharp and volatile moves lower, at one point as you say the market was down as much as 500 points. it's clawed its way back a bit but what's happening here, this vote caught so many on wall street and around the world by surprise. that's why you saw overnight global markets selling off. that's why you're seeing this sell-off here on wall street and in the british pound which is now reached the lowest levels it's been at since the mid-1980s. this is not just a matter of what's happening to stock markets. while americans could see this show up in their 401(k), where the market is right now you could see your 401(k) if things close out here fall as much as $2,000 just today. but ultimately this is also about business and jobs. here in the united states, a number of companies have sounded the alarm that a move, britain leaving the european union,

would hit their bottom line and their employees from ford to caterpillar to jpmorgan which the ceo this morning, jamie dimon sent out a note to his employees saying that they are a good partner of the united kingdom but that if this goes on, if the uncertainty lasts, it could have an impact on jobs there and previously he said it could impact and cost as many as 1,000 to 4,000 be jos. the president has talked about this, president obama has mentioned the importance as had fed chair janet yellen and that is why it will continue to be a very volatile day today. robin. >> thousand to donald trump speaking out to reporters about the game-changing vote. abc's tom llamas is with him in scotland with more. tom. >> reporter: robin, good morning. donald trump came here to talk about golf and resort turnberry but he lands in the middle of brexit. trump says he predicted this would happen that britain would leave the european union and it's a good thing though they

voted in scotland overwhelmingly to stay in. this morning, donald trump is off the campaign trail, way off landing in scotland. ♪ he's here for the re-opening of his turnberry golf report. >> basically they took back their country. that's a great thing. from the moment he landed trump bombarded with questions of brexit. >> one of the big votes in the history of europe and scotland and everywhere. >> reporter: trump compared the vote there to the u.s. presidential election. >> i think i see a big parallel. people want to take their country back. they want to have independence in a sense and you see it with europe, all over europe. >> reporter: even saying president obama's comments urging the uk to remain in the european union may have swung the vote in favor of leaving. >> i was actually very surprised that president obama would come over here and be so bold as to tell the people over here what to do. if he had not said it, i think your result might have been different. >> reporter: the trip was supposed to be about golf. some of trump's staffers wearing

those famous red caps, but here they say make turnberry great again. here in scotland like america trump is both loved and hated. some of his scottish neighbors raising mexican flags on their properties specifically to spite him. the clinton campaign mocking trump's trip releasing this video slamming trump's reputation in the uk. >> all he talked about was money, money, money and trump, trump, trump. >> reporter: but a super pac supporting trump is taking care of attacking clinton while the candidate is away. >> when bill cosby was accused of sexual assault mrs. clinton tweeted every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be believed. but when another bill was accused of sexual assault, not so much. she savaged their dignity and shamed them. >> some folks are going to have a lot to answer for. >> reporter: now a "new york times" report of that super pac ad says their report was taken out of context. trump started talking and a

protester threw nazi golf balls right at trump's feet. he was taken away but besides that no other demonstrations. robin. >> you'll be there, tom and a lot more to discuss. >> let's dive in with matthew dowd, who joins us this morning. matt, good morning. i want to get right to donald trump's statement right after this vote in the uk. he says the people of the united kingdom have exercised the sacred right of all free peoples and they voted to reassert control over their own policies, borders and economy and then he tweeted, matt, they took their country back just like we will take america back. no games. does this play right into donald trump's campaign playbook? >> well, the similarities, david, are profound. you have a national iist movement arise in a divided country among older, frustrated alienated white class voters, who then make a vote to send a message regardless of the political consequences. so it's very similar. one thing i was struck by watching donald trump's press conference today, it was more infomercial and less william wallace from "braveheart."

i thought he would talk about the brexit vote more and less about his turnberry resort. >> you know, it's really interesting, matt, because you look at the key battlegrounds in this country, ohio, pennsylvania. you've got donald trump and hillary clinton neck and neck tied at this point. those were the same numbers they were seeing in britain going in but it wasn't even close. a 4% gap. should that worry the clinton campaign knowing that these same issues fueled that vote in britain? >> if i were the clinton campaign and hillary clinton this morning, i would be very worried after watching this vote in the course of this. the enthusiasm was obviously among the same voters that donald trump is counting on in this country in those states as you mentioned, david, in the course of this. and so, i think, this is a plus for donald trump in his movement. and this was an anti-status quo vote in britain that is what represents what hillary clinton is. i think it's troubling for hillary clinton to watch this vote happen over in europe. >> you talked about it before. it could all come down to enthusiasm come november. all right. matt dowd with us this morning, thanks, matt. and now, david, we're going

to move on to the other big story at home. the massive wildfire raging in southern california. the erskine fire is uncontained. scorching more than 5,000 acres, destroying dozens of homes. abc's kayna whitworth is in the fire zone, lake isabella, california. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: robin, good morning. officials are saying at this point they think up to 100 structures have been lost and when you look behind me you can see what's left standing of this building here. the chimney is actually still on fire. it's the only thing standing along with those brick pillars and you can see the wind picking up and the roof scattered all over this driveway. one firefighter, a nine-year veteran of the force saying that this wildfire is surreal. this morning, more than 80 homes destroyed in 3 different communities. this terrifying wildfire scorching everything in its path. the erskine fire breaking out around 4:00 p.m. thursday near lake isabella, california.

bringing in ground crew, air support and bulldozers, firefighters had no time to waste. >> two tankers and an air attack just lifted off, 11 minutes en route to the fire. >> reporter: the hot, dry, windy conditions ripe for disaster. >> with the winds that we have, the fire could threaten 400 to 500 structures. >> reporter: the kern county fire department broadcasting the inferno live on facebook. >> this is really surreal. i've never been in a wildland fire where i've seen so many homes burn. >> reporter: here's one of the homes lost in the fire. you can see all that's left is the chimney and the brick pillars. now, you can also tell the wind is erratic and we've had several propane tanks explode. if you look there behind me, you can see there's another propane tank right there. so this area is still very unsafe. a local hospital evacuated and authorities ordering people to leave the area immediately. >> just so you're advised, we are starting evacuations since it's moving so quickly to the east. >> reporter: but not everyone getting out in time. the fire department confronting this resident. >> are you ready to evacuate? >> no.

>> reporter: and then that explosion coming from what the fire department believes was a propane tank that was ignited. overnight the fire pushing east into the mountains burning wildly and uncontrolled covering 8,000 acres so far. >> my house is about to go up in smoke. i'm in danger of losing everything that i own. >> reporter: unfortunately for some that danger became a reality. you can see what's left of this car right here and their tractor and this home. at this point firefighters are saying, david, their biggest concern is keeping the people of this community safe. >> just an awful weekend ahead for them. we're thinking about those families and the firefighters. kayna, thanks. meanwhile, in the midwest and east, 20 million people are in the storm zone and reports overnight of that toddler being swept away in the rising waters. abc's eva pilgrim is in elkview, west virginia, in the heart of the devastation. eva, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, david. at least 500 people are trapped inside this shopping center. you can see the road here

literally washed away ripped in half. this is the only way in or out. these folks have been stuck here since about 4:00 yesterday afternoon, and now we're hearing from people inside that with no running water, toilets are overflowing. at this hour, authorities still not sure how they will get them out. flash flooding sweeping this burning home off its foundation in west virginia. >> watch out. >> reporter: smashing into pieces as flames shoot up before slamming into a bridge. >> oh, no. >> that will put it out. >> reporter: the rushing floodwaters turning deadly. at least three killed. and overnight, officials suspending search efforts for a toddler swept away. roads turning into rivers. this blue station wagon carried away by the current. the governor declaring a state of emergency in 44 counties. in richwood, west virginia, seven inches of rain falling in

played in three olympic games, has won two gold medals and is coming off that grueling seven-game series with the golden state warriors, telling me earlier this week, he's drained. about to break down? >> i'm exhausted. i'm exhausted. >> reporter: and james isn't the only nba star who won't be sporting the red, white and blue. steph curry also withdrew his name earlier this month. the league mvp citing several factors including recent ankle and knee injuries. so, the guy just needs a break. he's put in more minutes historically than anyone in the nba at this point in his career. >> if anyone deserves it -- >> yeah. >> exactly. >> absolutely, thank you, t.j. >> you got it. ginger is tracking the severe weather across the country. >> i am, and i'll have to come back because right now we have to go ahead and get to your local forecast. brought to you by your weekend getaways brought to you by las vegas.

up, lift things up. on a friday morning we need that. >> we need that. but we begin with that new look at the infamous o.j. simpson trial. prosecutor christopher darden now opening up in this candid interview revealing what really happened behind the scenes of that landmark trial, and abc's mara schiavocampo joins us. good morning, mara. >> reporter: david, good morning. there's been a lot of renewed interest in that case thanks in part to a new espn documentary. now darden is revealing what really happened with that famous glove incident and what he thinks of johnnie cochran after all these years. this morning, former o.j. simpson prosecutor christopher darden making his case about the trial of the century. >> i can't, you know, rethink, you know, my courtroom performance. i did what i did. >> reporter: darden speaking out for the first time since millions tuned in to espn's groundbreaking documentary, "o.j.: made in america," the documentary revisiting key moments of the real-life drama,

highlighting the now iconic and divisive moment when darden asked o.j. to try on the gloves. >> it was the biggest fight chris and i ever had. >> reporter: that moment a defining one in the trial. >> your honor, it appears mr. simpson seems to be having a problem putting the glove on his hand. >> reporter: though darden believes it was all an act. >> the gloves fit. it's an illusion. it's propaganda. >> reporter: now 21 years later a stunning admission, darden conceding that asking for the demonstration was a mistake. >> i absolutely would not do it again. if i had known back then what i know today -- >> reporter: darden pushes back on the idea that f. lee bailey tricked him into that fateful moment. >> i went over to him and said, chris, you know, you're a good ship but you have the [ bleep ] of a stud field mouse. that glove won't fit o.j. and if you don't show the jury that is a fact, i will. >> he couldn't goad me into

anything. f. lee bailey was a joke. he was laughable. >> reporter: darden was a late add to the case joining co-prosecutor marcia clark after previous co-counsel bill hodgman had a health scare just three months before opening statements. amid claims he was only put on the team because of his race. >> back then i did not feel used because of my race. on reflection, i'm not quite sure. >> reporter: simpson's acquittal affecting darden deeply and personally. >> with the realization that he had been acquitted, i am honored to have -- >> reporter: since the trial, darden says he's unfairly shouldered a lot of the blame. >> when people who were part of

that trial point fingers, they need to point fingers at themselves, garcetti, clark, others. it seems to me that they still don't understand what happened in that courtroom. i do. >> reporter: but when it comes to johnnie cochran -- >> i am ashamed that mr. darden would allow himself to become an apologist for this man. >> reporter: despite their fiery exchanges in front of the jury, darden remembers his courtroom foe fondly. >> i miss johnnie. i wish he were here. i wish we could sit in a room like this and argue about that case. as a lawyer, you know, i had nothing but respect for johnnie cochran, and i still do. >> reporter: now, darden also says that if he could do things again, he wouldn't even join the prosecution team at all. his book about that trial, "in contempt," is now available in paperback or on e-book. robin? >> all right, mara. thank you. we're going to bring in cnn senior legal analyst jeffrey

toobin. he's in washington and abc news senior legal correspondent sunny hostin is good enough to be with us here in the studio. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> let me start with you, jeffrey. you were there in that courtroom every day. what did you make -- >> i was. >> what did you make of darden's performance? >> well, i thought he did a competent job mostly. the issue in the case was far more in jury selection and where the case was tried. the glove demonstration was a disaster. there's no question about it, but when you look at a jury that deliberated three hours in a six-month trial, one courtroom mistake didn't make the difference. they were going to lose no matter what. >> yes, because of that quick verdict that they reached. and, sunny, we heard christopher darden say, you know, if he had to do it over again, he wouldn't have him -- o.j. try on the glove. and do you think that he has shouldered much -- is this fair

that he shouldered much of the blame for the verdict partly for asking o.j. to try on the glove? >> he shouldn't have done that courtroom demonstration with the gloves. you sort of learn the first day of law school you don't do something in the courtroom that you haven't practiced before so that was a big mistake but i've actually interviewed on him "the view". he said i knew those gloves belonged to o.j. o.j.'s blood was in the gloves. nicole's blood was in the gloves. ron's blood was in the gloves. and so he said he thought it was one of the best courtroom moments in history. so, i think he still sort of goes back and forth about this trial, and it just goes to show you how important it still is in his mind every day. he's going back and forth and vacillating. >> but should he shoulder much of the blame here? >> i don't think so. i don't think so. i think it was a lot more about jury selection and about really race relations during those times. remember, those were the times of the rodney king verdicts. >> yes. and you have to remember, if you put yourself back in that time in l.a., you're absolutely right about that. so, jeffrey, what do you think were the keys to the verdict? >> i think the defense succeeded in changing the subject

fundamentally to -- from whether o.j. simpson killed these two people, which he did, and from that to whether the lapd deserved to be vindicated for their performance over many, many years. the defense managed to put the lapd on trial, and the lapd has a -- had a terrible relationship with african-americans in los angeles. they had a lot of bad actions, really bad actions to answer for and the defense had a perfect target in mark furman, who embodied so much of what was wrong with the lapd. >> yeah. >> but none of that means that o.j. simpson was actually innocent. but they successfully changed the subject. >> yes, a little bit of what you were saying too, sunny. >> absolutely. >> it's interesting because you said that seeing christopher darden and also marcia clark, that inspired you to be a prosecutor. >> absolutely. i mean, i had just graduated from law school when the verdict came out. and i was watching darden's reaction, and he cried when that

verdict came out. >> we saw that, right. >> and i thought, i want a job to go to every day that i care that much about the people that i'm working for and that i would cry if i got an acquittal. and i went on to become a prosecutor just because of it, so, you know, when i spoke to him, he said, i'm surprised -- he told me he was surprised that he was an inspiration for me because he's taken so much heat for his performance. >> well, that was quite an interview yesterday on "the view." thanks for being with us, sunny, and, jeffrey, good to see you. it's been too long. >> great to see you. >> you have a good weekend, jeffrey. >> all righty. >> okay, and as mara was telling us, christopher darden's book "in contempt" is in available as an ebook. now to lara with what's coming up on the big board. lara. >> thank you, robin. just ahead, the bombshell news out of britain. what you need to know to protect your money. and then the truth about your sunscreens, spf and what one family is doing to fight back against misleading labels. and the sales tactics cable companies don't want you to know that they are using.

all right. we made it to friday. time for the final big board of the week. insiders ready to weigh in and of course the big story everyone waking up to around the world britain voting to leave the european union as stock markets plummet around the world. of course, we want to know what does this mean for you. let's bring in rebecca jarvis, our chief business correspondent. and, rebecca, even in britain they were stunned. they had no idea the prime minister would resign. this is going to have ripple effects, and you're waiting right there on wall street. is there anything people can do other than calmly wait and watch how this plays out on wall street? >> well, david, this is why you always hear that word diversify. anybody with a savings account in this country should be diversified meaning you don't put all of your eggs in one basket. you don't have everything in stocks. instead, you have a little bit in cash. maybe you also own a home and you have some physical assets in your life that have value to you.

beyond that, it really depends on how far away you are from retirement. if you are closer to retirement, let's say, you're one or two years out from retirement. right now, you want what's called a cushion. you want savings in cash that you can access. the longer away you are from retirement, the more time you will have for the markets to come back. and historically, we know that when the market dips, like it's dipping today, and over longer periods of time, those who sell in the worst moments are those who lose the most. those who can wait it out who can, as difficult as it is, to take a look at things day in and day out and not do anything. those are the people who end up making their money back over time, david. >> yeah, and if you're lucky enough you can invest at this moment when it's lower. talk to your retirement adviser. >> but it's terrifying. >> it really is a frightening thing. >> it is an unsettled time. what do you think it means for tourism, summertime, traveling, what will it mean for those of us going to london and for those there who want to travel the world? >> reporter: well, if you're

coming from the united states and heading to london, because the british pound is so weak, you're going to have a lot more buying power. so if you already had planned a vacation there this summer, you actually are going to probably be able to spend your money and make your money, your u.s. dollars go a lot farther. for the people of london, though, it's going to be a lot harder for them to travel, for them to, for example, come here to the united states on a summer vacation. and even bigger as an issue are going to be the businesses, companies here in the united states have a million employees that are working in the uk right now and definitely you want to think about that. >> yeah, all right, rebecca, thank you so much. we're going to move on now to a story a lot of people are talking about. it's a new york family that is suing the makers of banana boat sunscreen for allegedly misleading spf labels. the suit claims that the spf 50 reported on the label of their bottle actually tested in a lab as an spf 12. dr. richard besser, our chief health and medical editor, is joining us now.

so what does that mean to someone who thinks they're putting on 50, richard, and then really they're just putting on 12? >> yeah, i mean that sounds very concerning. if you look at an spf 50, it's going to block out about 98% of those uvb rays. and if you look at an spf 12, it's at about 90%. so there's a difference there but it's probably not as big as people think. the big reason people burn isn't the spf number, it's how much sunscreen they're using. >> wow, that's really interesting, rich. so just keep applying throughout the day. any other tips you have for people who are just starting the summer season and they've got the old lotion on the shelf before they head out to the door to the beach or the pool? is it still good and what should you be aware of? >> the old lotion, you should throw away, david, because it doesn't last over the season. you want to buy a new lotion. look at the label for something called a broad spectrum and that will cover against uva and uvb. put it on about 15 minutes before you go out and you have to use a lot of it. about an ounce every time, reapply it at least every two

hours. and if you go swimming, you want to apply it more often than that. and avoid the natural stuff. it doesn't work as well. >> rich, are you coming to us from your backyard? i mean, you're doing pretty well these days. >> i know. it's beautiful aspen, colorado. it's absolutely gorgeous. >> that is stunning. all right. enjoy with your family, rich. >> and put on your sunblock please. it looks very nice. thank you so much, dr. besser. all right, third topic. >> third topic. here we go. top cable and satellite companies appearing on capitol hill to testify about sales strategies. senate investigators concluded many people were being overly aggressive and unfair to their customers when they would call and try to get their bills down so let's bring in andrea woroch from california. this will frustrate a lot of consumers to know the cable companies were actively coaching their operators to try not to reduce the rates. >> right, that's right, so the sales reps were trained to upsell additional services when consumers were calling in to file complaints to lower their

bills or even disconnect. what's more, the investigators found that cable companies overcharged customers for equipment and services they never ordered, never received. they, you know, also never alerted them to these erroneous charges and never issued refunds or credits. so it's a very annoying process for customers to deal with. >> totally annoying and not very nice. so how do we avoid it if we're calling, saying, hey, i'd like to get this removed from the bill and finding ourselves being actually charged more than we were asking to be removed. what do we do? >> well, first of all, it's important to be aware that that is the technique that these sales associates will be following. but don't take the bait. if your ultimate goal is to save money, don't add additional services and explain that the bill is more than you can afford and that you're going to have to switch or look for another offer if they can't help lower the bill. and if you're not getting anywhere with that sales rep, ask to speak to a supervisor. >> i think that's great advice. ask to speak to the supervisor. has it happened to you? >> yeah.

>> totally happened to me. >> it did. probably didn't even know it. >> i've got more channels than i know what to do with. thank you. thanks to all of you guys and coming up, the 2016 world's ugliest dog contest. we have the front-runners. they are our hot shot of the day, and we have them in just two minutes. and the "gma" exclusive newly crowned miss missouri, the first openly gay miss america contestant, and she'll join us live right after the break. don't go away. us live right after the break. don't go away.

many on the bottom feel like they struck a blow against elites who were not listening to them, and it was decisive, a whopping 72% turnout. 52-48 for pulling out of the european union. what does it mean? well, it means that they're going to get a new prime minister. david cameron, who you mentioned, called this referendum and urged his people to stay in europe and lost so has resigned. >> i will do everything i can as prime minister to steady the ship over the coming weeks and months. but i do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination. >> reporter: now comes the hard part. britain is going to have to negotiate the terms of divorce with europe, and many european leaders are not going to be in a mode to give them a good bargain. amy. >> all right. terry, thank you. for the latest on the stork market's reaction at home we turn to rebecca jarvis live on wall street. rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, amy. stocks have clawed their way back a bit, just off the lows of the session, but the uncertainty remains, wall street has two key questions at this point. first off, who is next?

who might follow in britain's footsteps and also decide to leave the european union and, second, how dramatic will the declines be? how great will the impact be on the overall economy? we know for a fact that the volatility in the stock market is very much here to stay. amy. >> and we know you will be watching, rebecca. thank you. in the meantime, donald trump is in scotland at his golf resort and praised british voters saying they're taking back their country. trump said voters around the world are angry about people crossing their borders and, quote, taking over. hillary clinton responded saying this time of uncertainty only underscores the need for steady, experienced leadership in the white house. at least four people have died in extreme flooding across west virginia. a toddle r is missing after beig swept away by a flash flood there. reports are coming in that hundreds of people have been trapped inside their homes, in a shopping mall and in a retirement home. seven inches of rain fell in just three hours. and this stunning picture here, one house burst into flames as

it was swept down this creek. thousands of people from west virginia to tennessee have lost power. and breaking overnight, a major new wildfire has erupted in california. this one east of bakersfield burning at least 80 buildings including dozens of homes in kern county. the flames quickly spreading to 5,000 acres. a smoky haze can be seen for miles. well, finally the zoo in springfield, massachusetts, re-opens this morning now that one of its wild animals has returned. well, maybe not so wild because dizzy the monkey escaped just by turning a doorknob and walking out using his opposable thumbs. he was hiding in the trees for several days, but to encourage his return, zookeepers, well, see, they're not stupid, they moved his mate outdoors so dizzy would come home for some play time, and it worked. >> wow. >> ready for some monkey business. >> monkey business, yes. >> oh! >> in sync. >> yes. >> we were all thinking it but you all actually said it? that's it. >> that happens, robin. >> it does. >> what's popping other than the monkeys? >> oh, david. >> wait a minute. like i said, you were all thinking it. i just -- >> what's popping this morning

is ben affleck. we're going to going to talk about -- he is speaking out about his rant on hbo's "any given wednesday" with bill simmons. the "batman" actor and boston native making headlines for his views and his choice of words on deflategate and tom brady. the quarterback of his beloved new england patriots. take a listen. >> deflategate is the ultimate [ bleep ] outrage of sports ever. it's so [ bleep ] stupid. >> so you agree it's a smear campaign. >> it's a [ bleep ] ridiculous smear campaign. >> after the episode aired, affleck took to facebook telling fans he realized that he dropped a certain expletive 18 times while defending his patriots and upon reflection realized that might have been a little excessive and that 12 of those probably would have sufficed. #noregrets. >> no regret. >> no regrets. >> boston strong. >> yeah, absolutely. he is a super fan. also in the news this morning, legendary rock gods led

zeppelin have just gotten news that must have seemed like it was heaven sent. after one day of deliberation a jury in los angeles determined the band did not plagiarize the intro to their most famous song "stairway to heaven" from the band spirit. even though the hard rockers played on the same bill as the band and may have been aware of their instrumental track called "taurus." do we have those? [ playing "stairway to heaven" ] >> okay, so i believe this is obviously "stairway to heaven." >> yeah, this is zeppelin. >> so do we now have "taurus"? [ playing "taurus" ] is that "taurus"? >> i believe that's similar. >> similar. >> really -- there is a similarity but the jury determined there was not sufficient -- >> we won't try them again. >> -- connection to prove plagiarism. there you go. i guess, yeah. very good tune. and that is that story. and then finally, one of our all-time favorites, "the devil wears prada" is celebrating its ten-year anniversary, and its stars sat down with "variety" to look back at the magic.

anne hathaway revealing she was not the first choice to play fresh-faced assistant andy sax. >> who was? >> rachel mcadams. >> i could see that. >> she was offered the part multiple times. turned it down. she wanted to do more independent pieces and anne admits she had to practically beg for the role that became her springboard to an oscar-winning career. meryl streep, who played ruthless fashion editor miranda priestly's quiet, fierce voice she got from none other than clint eastwood and says you have to lean in to hear him when he speaks, so quiet that he immediately controls a room. that's what she was going for and miranda's dry, biting humor she got from the late great mike nichols. that was her inspiration. the other question "variety" asked, will there ever be a sequel. hathaway said it best, quote, it's good to leave it just as it is, kind of perfect. >> yeah. >> that movie was a blockbuster. it cost $40 million to make. made hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars, and i know all of us still watch it. >> you can watch it over and over and over again.

take that on and i hope that my presence will help with visibility for the community. >> and you're excited about your platform which is suicide prevention and how do you feel your title will help you in that work? >> yes, well, suicide prevention is something that i certainly hope to champion throughout this entire year. i promote the american foundation for suicide prevention, and i also work very closely with the trevor project, which is the nation's leading crisis intervention and suicide prevention hot line for lgbt youth. lgbt youth are actually up to eight times as likely to commit suicide as compared to their straight peers if they come from an unaccepting environment. so i'm really excited to partner with them and i hope that it will be a great year of social change. >> and giving them a voice which is so -- >> yes. >> you have to know that, you know, a young person seeing you and breaking down this barrier that it has to, you know, have some kind of impact and, as you said, so many of these young

people are going through -- it's tough enough to be young, period. but when you're gay or bi or transgender and you're being bullied, and so how will you continue to get that message across that this too shall pass? we've heard this campaign about, you know, just get through this difficult time. how are you going to help them get through it? >> right. well, i'm just going to share my story as much as i can, and like i said, my focus of this year i hope will not be solely on my sexuality. i'm excited to represent the organization, to represent the miss america organization and i think what my message really is, i had dreams and goals and i was very scared at first to become who i am, but once i stepped into who i was is when i became most successful so my message to all young people out there who have a dream but may be a little scared is that no matter what obstacles are in your way, it does get better. and that i'm here for everyone. >> and do you have a dream to be

miss america? >> absolutely. that's always a bigger -- a great thing to have a bigger goal, but if not, i am just so excited to represent miss -- to be miss missouri and to represent the miss america organization. it's amazing that they have opened up to me, and i think it's truly a testament to how diverse and inclusive the organization is and it's changed my life completely. >> you represent that crown well. erin, all the best to you. we'll be watching you in september. we'll be watching. >> thank you so much. >> you take care. thank you. >> thanks. bye. >> all right, bye. coming up, "gma investigates" body fat scales. are they really accurate? becky worley is on the case. come on back.

now "gma investigates" this friday morning those scales measuring weight and body fat that so many people rely on but now the accuracy of those numbers is being questioned. our becky worley takes a look at the high-tech scales. >> reporter: scales have really evolved from connecting with apps to measuring body fat. but how accurately? we invited three brave women to try out six consumer body fat scales ranging in price from $40

to $150. >> well, this is our gold standard for percent body fat. >> reporter: we start in this wild contraption called the bod pod by measuring body fat percentages for all three women. our experts, dr. john shepherd and his team at the university of california san francisco body composition lab. we're trying out the latest models of body fat scales from tanita, fitbit, taylor, withings, weight watchers amd qardio. step to the side. the good news, all six reported weight correctly for all three women with less than 1% of error from our gold standard, but the body fat percentages, that's a different story. for sara her body fat percentage nearly 34%. out of the six scales -- >> 38.6. -- >> reporter: withings was off the most reported almost 39%. >> i don't know if i want to buy one at all. >> reporter: for lucy, her percentage, 27% but for her the withings scale overreported the most at 37%. that's more than 10% off. >> throw it out the window.

>> reporter: and for nathalie, her body fat percentage, nearly 16%. >> whoa. >> reporter: the withings scale again not matching up with a readout of 30%. that's more than 14% off. >> i think getting a professional reading is going to be a lot more accurate. >> reporter: how did the scales size up? between our testers and when i gave them a go, on average the tanita represented it 4% more than our gold standard. taylor on average, also more than 4%. weight watchers, 4%. qardio, 5% and withings, 9%. we did have a syncing error with the fitbit who say may have been due to a wi-fi problem so we are not reporting those results. we reached out to all the companies in our story, some criticized the use of the bod pod as our gold standard and say their own testing confirms the accuracy of their products and add these are meant to help users see trends over time. withings told us while it cannot comment on our findings the withings body analyzer

it uses a specific technique widely recognized as the best method for at home body mass measurement. the model is no longer on the market and the company out with two new scales that test body fat among other things. they still use the same technique to calculate body fat but withings tells us the new electronics are more advanced and take even more exact readings. but in march "consumer reports" tested the same six scales and came to similar conclusions writing, "the results were unimpressive, none was very accurate." >> technology is advancing and i think it will get better. >> reporter: for our testers -- >> maybe it's helpful to kind of keep trends and track how they're moving up or down. >> reporter: i've used one of these body fat scales ever since i was trying to lose the baby weight after i had my twins. many times the body fat analysis on my scale telling me i was outside of healthy norms. but i got my body fat tested at ucsf too and found out my scale has been overestimating my body fat by an extra 17 pounds. i'm channeling oprah here with

this lard, but my scales told me i had this much more fat than i really do, and, david, when it comes to body image, perception matters. so at least now i know to factor in this much in my case margin of error. >> i mean, that's not even close. that's just incredible when you show it ou there visually. becky, we've always thought you looked amazing so who needs the scale in your case? have a great weekend. it's really eye-opening stuff. >> you too. >> thanks, beck. let's go back to ginger zee tracking so much this morning. hey, ginger. >> david, what a morning here in central park. the cowboy hats are on. mine's on. i've been told more than one person that stilettos don't go with a cowboy hat so they're coming off so i can do this and say good morning to all these brad paisley fans. a quick look at the weather forecast too. hail in parts of southeastern colora >> good friday morning. i am meteorologist mike nicco
