shooting in louisiana after cell phone footage was posted online showing police officers shooting a man outside a convenience store. abc's ryan smith is here with the latest. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: good morning, robin. those protests lasting well into the night. so many registering their outrage over the shooting death of alton sterling by two baton rouge police officers and the shocking video of it all caught on cell phone. overnight, protests growing louder in baton rouge after the police shooting death of alton sterling, a man reportedly selling cds outside of a louisiana convenience store tuesday. the fatal confrontation between the 37-year-old sterling and police officers captured in this cell phone video. >> get on the ground. get on the ground. >> reporter: in the video, two officers appear to struggle with a man, tasing him and throwing him to the ground and yelling at him.

and then, shots are fired. >> oh, my god. >> they shot him? >> yes. >> oh, my [ bleep ] goodness. >> they killed this boy. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: sterling died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and back. the police department placing the two officers on leave while they investigate. according to police, two officers were responding to an anonymous report of a man with a gun. >> the store owner says he was standing two or three feet away at the time of the shooting. he says sterling, a regular at the store, is a father of young children. >> he was a nice guy. he wasn't out here doing anything bad. he was always just selling movies, minding his own business. >> reporter: public outrage growing quickly. over 200 people protesting in baton rouge. on twitter #altonsterling

the number one trend, over a million tweets. this morning, so many around the country searching for answers. including sterling's sister. >> i really want to know more about what happened because my brother didn't deserve it. he didn't deserve it at all. >> reporter: the police investigation is ongoing. now, there are reports that both officers' body cameras fell off during the struggle and there may not be much police video. they claim it does exist and have not released it and they're expected to give a press conference this morning. now to that blockbuster decision from the fbi after a year-long investigation director james comey decides not to recommend charges against hillary clinton but blasts her for reckless handling of classified information on her private e-mail server. abc's senior justice correspondent pierre thomas brings us the latest from washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. in one of the most dramatic moments i've seen in 20 years of covering the fbi, the fbi director took center stage, no

one knowing what he decided with the power to affect the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. the decision about the clinton e-mail investigation so sensitive and critical to the presidential race, fbi director james comey kept the white house and his boss, the attorney general, in the dark. >> they do not know what i'm about to say. >> reporter: in a dramatic hastily arranged press conference comey announced the results of thousands of hours of fbi investigation. >> our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. >> reporter: but despite that recommendation, the fbi director gave a blistering assessment of clinton's decision to use private e-mail to conduct government business. >> there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive highly classified information. >> reporter: former secretary clinton has maintained that she never sent or received e-mails that were marked classified but tuesday comey said the investigation found 110 e-mails that contained classified information at the time they were sent and received. and whether they were marked classified when she received

them or not, comey hammered clinton for leaving government e-mails vulnerable to enemies. >> any reasonable person in secretary clinton's position or in the position of those with whom she was corresponding about those matters should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. >> reporter: still, comey said the investigation failed to meet a critical legal standard. according to comey there was no evidence of -- >> clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information or vast quantities of information, indications of disloyalty to the united states or efforts obstruct justice. we do not see those things here. >> reporter: bottom line, clinton aides may have been careless but comey said he could not make the case that their behavior was criminal. >> meantime, pierre, this technically this report from the fbi director is just a recommendation to the justice department but effectively this is over, right. >> reporter: we expect the career prosecutors will agree with comey that charges aren't warranted so the likelihood of a criminal case against clinton is effectively over, george.

>> pierre thomas, thanks very much. and george, the fbi report getting major reaction on both sides of the aisle as president obama joins hillary clinton on the campaign trail for the first time. abc's cecilia vega is in charlotte, north carolina, with the latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. the reactions on this one could not be more different for hillary clinton and her campaign. there is a sense of relief this morning, but for the republicans led by donald trump, they see a rigged system and they say hillary clinton lied. just hours after the fbi slammed hillary clinton for her e-mail use she was on air force one with president obama all smiles as they hit the campaign trail in north carolina. >> i am with her. >> all: i'm with her. >> i'm with her. >> reporter: clinton getting a commanding boost of confidence from the commander-in-chief. >> he knows a thing or two about winning elections. take it from me. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: and it could not have come at a better time.

>> i'm ready to pass the baton. [ cheers and applause ] and i know that hillary clinton is going to take it. and i know she can run that race. >> reporter: two former rivals now a united front. >> everybody can tweet but nobody actually knows what it takes to do the job until you sit behind the desk. >> reporter: but no mention of that fbi investigation. clinton's team saying in a statement, we are glad that this matter is now resolved and that it was a mistake to use her personal e-mail and she would not do it again. but her opponents not about to let it go, from house speaker paul ryan. >> this certainly does underscore that clinton believes she's above the law. >> reporter: to donald trump holding his own rival north carolina rally. >> we now know that she lied to the country when she said she did not send classified information on her server.

she lied. >> reporter: going after clinton and the system. >> today is the best evidence ever that we've seen that our system is absolutely totally rigged. it's rigged. >> reporter: and sources tell me this fbi news came as a complete surprise to the clinton campaign that they watched it unfold on television along with everyone else. we're also told that the president and hillary clinton did not discuss the fbi investigation during that air force one ride here to north carolina, george. we're told they talked about grandchildren. >> very deliberately no doubt. okay, e sill ya, thanks very much. let's get more on the law and politics with our chief legal analyst dan abrams and our political analyst matthew dowd and let's begin with the law, dan, that standard that the fbi director said, no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges. he seems to be suggesting that legally this wasn't a close call. >> right, so on the one hand i

think for a long time the clinton supporters had been minimizing the significance of what happened here and i think james comey made that quite clear in laying out a sort of moral indictment. >> scathing. >> of hillary clinton. she broke rules. she violated norms. but that is not necessarily criminal. and then he laid out at the end the criminal standard. we're talking about espionage law here. people are saying, well, gross negligence. that's the espionage act and basically what james comey is saying is you want to prosecute someone under this misdemeanor or this felony of the espionage act, you need a level of intentional willful conduct that simply didn't exist here. >> but matthew dowd, politically this was tough stuff from james comey and it seems to hit secretary clinton on three fronts -- competence, protecting national security and the big one, honesty, which is what you've already got the rnc putting out videos this morning hitting the five big lies they say james comey exposed. >> well, i think it's really tough stuff. she survived a potential fatal

blow which means she still stays in the race but she basically was told by the fbi director she's not guilty of a crime but she's not innocent of wrongdoing and to me it reminds me a lot of tom brady, he survives to play the game still but his reputation has been sullied. and in this case it's almost the best of circumstances for the gop and the rnc which means she continues to run. she doesn't suffer a fatal blow in the course of this so nobody else is substituted in the race but she is damaged, i think, by what the fbi director did. >> but what about -- you hear a lot of clinton allies suggesting that five months from now on election day, the only thing people will remember is that she wasn't charged. >> see, i don't agree with that. i think what it is, it adds to the story and the story is can we trust hillary clinton in the course of this? i think she's still favored i have said to win this race and still favored after this to win the race but she is damaged in the course of this and that is going to survive until the

election. >> you've got the suggestion from the speaker of the house, paul ryan that she shouldn't get these intelligence briefings over the rest of the campaign. >> as a practical matter won't happen. that's a political argument, not practical, and i think we'll expect to see this move now into the political realm out of the league. >> okay, matt dowd and dan abrams, thanks very much. back to robin. now to a big headline overseas, the vatican saying pope francis has met with the parents of that american college student whose body was found in rome's tiber river. abc's lama hasan is in rome now with those details. good morning, lama. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. yes, it was a remarkable moment overnight. pope francis holding a private meeting at the vatican with beau solomon's parents. this as we learn new details about the murder investigation right here in rome. this morning, the vatican confirming pope francis had a private meeting with the parents of beau solomon the american student murdered this week while studying abroad in rome. in a statement the pope, quote,

expressed his deepest sympathy and compassion and his closeness in prayer to the lord for the young man who died so tragically. right now italian investigators are piecing together the mysterious death of solomon. police arresting a homeless man, massimo galioto, suspected of aggravated homicide after the 19-year-old's body was pulled from this river. in rome. the american came this way, she said, one could see he was upset. according to italian tv this woman was living in a tent with the suspect and says she watched the scuffle unfold. [ speaking a foreign language ] "they were pushing each other," she said. the boy pushed back and then it ended badly. solomon was a cancer survivor majoring in personal finance at the university of wisconsin, madison. his life cut short just a day after he arrived for his exchange program at john cabot university. >> it was so hard to hear about that, i mean, to hear about your best friend. you didn't really even get a chance to say good-bye to him. >> reporter: well, this morning italian police confirming to abc

news, massimo galioto, the homeless man suspected of murdering beau solomon, is expected to appear in court later today. george. >> okay, lama, thanks very much. also overseas, breaking news in the oscar pistorius case, the olympian sentenced to six years in prison for killing his girlfriend on valentine's day, 2013. abc's alex marquardt is in london with the latest. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, george. pistorius has now already been taken to prison directly from that courtroom. this six-year sentence is fairly surprising given that it's less than half the maximum of 15 years for nonpremeditated murder, which is what the prosecution had asked for. pistorius was stone-faced as the sentence was handed down, none of the tears we've seen from him throughout the three years in court. the judge said there were substantial and compelling reasons to not give the maximum sentence. pistorius might not even serve the full six years. he's able to apply for parole after half his sentence and

so he could be out in three years. >> george. >> alex marquardt, thanks. let's go to amy with the other top stories. a big change in airport security. >> could be good news. those security lines at the airport may be speeding up soon. the tsa will soon test ct scanners to inspect carry-on luggage and that means human screeners won't have to look at screenings of every single bag. they give 3d images and will be tested in phoenix first. well, there is more turmoil in iraq. a top government official has now resigned following sunday's bombing that killed 250 people. that is the single deadliest attack claimed by isis worldwide. the interior minister says he is resigning because of a lack of coordination among security forces. and some new safety concerns surrounding those so-called self-driving cars made by tesla. a driver claims his car was in autopilot mode when it rolled over in pennsylvania friday.

you remember back in may a driver of a tesla model s on autopilot was killed in a crash in florida. the system uses radar to steer and match speeds. well, a rare sight off cape cod, a fishing boat captain snapped this photo of a 30-foot killer whale. experts say they cannot recall ever seeing an orca so close to the new england coast. and in sports, a clean sweep for the chicago cubs. their entire infield has been selected to start in next week's all-star game. matching the record held by the 1963 cardinals, a total of seven cubs have been chosen as all-stars this year. and finally, well, being honest pays off. someone left $187,000 in cash in the backseat of a boston taxi but veteran cab driver buzzy maccausland said he never considered keeping even a dollar of it and he turned it over to police and they found the owner who apparently living in a homeless shelter. just got all that cash from an inheritance. he gave buzzy 100 bucks for his

honesty. you know what he should do with that 100 bucks, play the lottery. >> pushing his luck. >> why not? >> you know what, honesty does pay off. speaking of lottery so does the mega millions, that lottery prize now climbing to over half a billion dollars, and abc's t.j. holmes is joining us from a spot where they sell tickets here in new york city. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: good morning to you, strahan, i need your help. i need you to do me a favor. i need you to tell the "gma" producers do not call and wake me up and get me out of bed for a measly $508 million. i say that because i covered the record jackpot in this country just a few months ago, it was $1.6 billion. so 508, that's just a drop in the lottery bucket. i still got my tickets, though, let's not be crazy here. it's still the seventh largest. strahan, if you want the cash

payout, that's $357 million before taxes. >> before taxes. wow, i'll take that. speaking of the prize that was in january. but there's still one ticket floating around that hasn't put in their claim. >> oh, strahan, this makes me sick in the stomach and keeps me up at night. there were three winning tickets sold to that record jackpot. that powerball jackpot. one of those that was sold out in california has not been claimed. at this point people suspect that person thinks they might not know they have it or it might have been thrown away, strahan. >> that would be heartbreaking. that's out in chino hills, if you bought one out in chino research and check again. t.j., thank you. now over to ginger with some severe weather hitting the heartland. >> yes, happening at this hour. severe thunderstorms in parts of illinois and in kansas, heading into missouri. i want to show you this video from the same storms that move through in minnesota. look at this. this is just western minnesota, that tornado, 228 severe storm

the fbi's calling her handling of classified information extremely careless but has decided not to recommend charges. and hundreds are protesting a deadly shooting in louisiana after video emerged online. that man's name alton sterling becoming the top trending on twitter overnight. all eyes on the williams sisters. venus and serena advancing to the semifinals at wimbledon. could they be headed for the ultimate sister showdown? we'll break that down. coming up in our big board. >> talk to patrick mcenroe about that. >> yes, we will. we'll begin with this teen girl accused of pushing her boyfriend to commit suicide by sending him taunting text messages. the massachusetts supreme court has now ruled that she can stand trial for manslaughter and abc's linzie janis is here with the latest on the case. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning, george, michelle carter allegedly sent a series of text messages intending to convince him to take his own life. her attorneys have tried twice

to have the charges dropped twice, but now they must go to trial. this morning, michelle carter, the massachusetts teenager accused of urging her boyfriend to commit suicide by a text message, is now facing up to 20 years in prison. the state's highest court ordering her to stand trial deciding friday to uphold carter's grand jury indictment on a manslaughter charge for the 2014 death of 18-year-old conrad roy. roy died of carbon monoxide poisoning after locking himself inside his truck in this kmart parking lot. at the time prosecutors say he was on the phone with carter for 47 minutes. his girlfriend allegedly convincing him to stay in the truck after he had second thoughts. >> he was scared. she told him to get back in the car. >> reporter: in a series of text messages leading up to roy's death, prosecutors say carter was essentially bullying him into suicide, texting "you need to stop thinking about this and

just do it." and "there is no way you can fail. tonight is the night. it's now or never." >> when are you going to do it? stop ignoring the question. >> reporter: carter's lawyers argued the then-17-year-old's texts were protected by the first amendment and didn't cause roy to kill himself. saying roy was the one who convinced carter he should commit suicide. >> he has in fact brainwashed her to the point where she's now accepting his idea of this is my only option. >> reporter: but massachusetts supreme judicial court disagreed saying, carter engaged in a systemic campaign of coercion that targeted roy's insecurities and that her instruction to get back in his truck in his final moments was the direct causal link to his death. carter's lawyer tells us he is confident his client will be found not guilty. carter is due back in court july 21st. we also spoke with conrad roy's mother and she says she feels the loss of her son every single day and she wants this case to

go forward. george. >> okay, linzie, thanks. let's talk about this now with sunny hostin. we heard her words were protected by the first amendment but the judge here is saying words can kill. >> that words can kill. words can matter. it was a unanimous decision and it's a 23-page decision. i have it here. everyone should really read this decision, especially parents of teens, and this is marked the first time that the court in massachusetts basically said you can be responsible for involuntary manslaughter just by using your words. >> so, even if you're not there or don't pull the trigger or knife, you can be responsible. >> that's right. this court said by using those types of words, get back in the car. you need to do this. do this now. she was almost virtually in the car with him goading him. pressuring him. i mean, anybody who reads what she texted him, what she said to him should be horrified because words matter.

>> absolutely, and you're making the distinction between what we see here and bullying, cyberbullying. >> i think it's a bit different. cyberbullying certainly is a federal crime and it's when you intend to harm someone by your words by cyberbullying. this is a bit different. this is encouraging someone to kill themselves and 39 states have laws prohibiting that on the books. massachusetts does not but massachusetts now is saying you can't do this kind of thing and i often say that the law doesn't catch up with technology quickly enough. the law caught up with technology right here right now. >> we'll be watching this case. sunny hostin, thanks very much. >> and you're right about parents needing to read that. >> got to read it. now to a stunning new report. thousands of doctors accused of sexually abusing patients under their care. abc's chief investigative correspondent brian ross confronted some of them and is here with more on that. good morning, brian. >> reporter: well, good morning, robin. doctors are figures of respect and trust in our society. but a startling new report this morning reveals more than 2,000 american doctors have been implicated in the sexual abuse

of their own patients, including some of the most prestigious physicians in the country. at mt. sinai hospital in new york city, dr. david newman's work in the emergency room once made him prominent nationwide but now dr. newman is in disgrace under criminal indictment for the alleged sexual abuse of four women including one he allegedly drugged in the e.r. he has pleaded not guilty. do you have anything to say to the people who have alleged you abused them? >> no comment right now. >> reporter: his license has been suspended and he's far from the only one accused of such crimes. for the last year an investigative team at "the atlanta journal-constitution" put together a first of its kind list of more than 2400 documented cases over 16 years involving doctors who have sexually abused their patients. >> some of these doctors are the most prolific sex offenders in the country with hundreds and in some cases thousands of victims. >> reporter: victims like erin

vance of oregon, she testified -- >> i remember him kissing me on the lips and then manipulating physically manipulating my hand to basically rub him. >> reporter: the anesthesiologist dr. frederick field was sentenced to 23 years in prison for assaults on at least 12 women. >> he said, it's okay, this is just how we wake you up. >> reporter: and many doctors get off easy, including the one who lives in this house in hemet, california. dr. david mata, once praised in congress as a great humanitarian, pleaded guilty to six felony counts of sexual contact in 2011 but received only probation, no prison. when we went to see dr. mata, he refused to show his face but maintained his innocence. did you abuse your patients? >> no, no.

>> you deny that. >> i have no -- no, i'm not going to make any comment on that because you twist things. >> i won't twist things. you're hiding behind a door. i want to ask you, did you violate your oath? did you violate those patients? >> i am -- i'm not going to make no comment on that. >> reporter: from the time of his arrest it took the california medical board three years to suspend his license and he's now eligible to reapply for it although he says he has retired. in fact, of the 2400 doctors, sanctioned for sexual abuse of their patients half of them, half of them have been able to keep their licenses to practice. george and robin. >> all right, brian. >> that is just stunning. >> it is. let's go over to michael. >> george, coming up on the big board, the major olympic security concerns and a new scare in rio's waters just a month before the games begin. plus, this video of a man riding a moose sparking a big investigation. and could we be heading for an all-williams wimbledon final? we'll be back in two minutes to talk about all of that on our big board. and could we be heading for an all williams wimbledon final?

we welcome you back. time for the big board. the big board. our team of insiders here live to take on today's top stories. let's say we begin with big problems in rio. less than a month as you know before the olympics begin. brazilian troops are now patrolling venues in the face of security issues that the city's mayor calls, quote, horrible, terrible, and now there's major concerns about super bacteria in rio's waters. joining us now is dr. richard besser. what more could they have going on here? so, this is a drug-resistant bacteria that's being found in the water that's going to be used in some of the olympic venues. how bad is this? >> yes, exactly. finding this in the water, this is another sign that some of the athletes will be competing in raw sewage. it's being pumped in the water. it's not being treated so you have marathon swimmers, triathletes, you have rowers,

canoers, sailors, when rio went -- when they bid on the games they promised that they were going to build all of these new sewage treatment plants. the economy took a turn for the worse and they didn't build them so now we have this situation. the good news is, if there is any that these super bugs only cause problems in people who are chronically ill in the hospital with immune problems but they found high levels of a lot of viruses that can cause stomach flu and i can't imagine what's going to happen if they get a stomach bug ripping through the olympic village. >> doesn't sound like a chance you really want to take when you hear all that. you already have zika concerns and now the nih and u.s. olympic committee, they're teaming up to do a study on this but what do they hope to find in this study? even if they find something, what does it change? that's my question. >> this is an important study. it's not going to help the olympic athletes during the olympics but they're looking to enroll a thousand athletes, coaches and others and their sexual partners to see how many people get infected, how long it stays in their body and this

could give people information long term in terms of when is it safe to finally have children and start their families. >> wow. >> all right. >> every single day as we said just a month or less to go until the olympics. >> thank you. and now to that disturbing video showing a man jumping from a moving boat. you can see it right there on to a moose's back and canadian police filing wildlife harassment charges against two people after it was posted online. that doesn't look like the right thing to do. >> come on. >> and now, joining us is ron magill, the communications director at the zoo in miami and dr. magill, they tracked these guys down and it took them a year to track them down, and now they face multiple charges under the wildlife act and how serious is it to do something like this? >> this is very serious. first of all, not only are you putting yourself in danger but

what you're doing is, you're teaching an animal to lose its natural fear of human beings and next time might not run away but become aggressive because of a previous experience. it's absolutely abusive and makes me sick. >> i saw you shaking your head. we all were shaking our head and i'm sure at home too. you could see the moose was trying to get away. but we are seeing more of these encounters. there's been a lot of talk about the bison, some bisons have attacked people, and the young bison that somebody took and put in their car and had to be put down. they thought they were helping the young bison thought it was injured. what do you make of all these new encounters? >> robin, the problem is that people have seen more animals in these parts and people look at these animals in parks as if they're props or something and think they're something to play with. don't understand they're wild animals generated by this whole selfie craze. people are out there. i was at everglades national park and this guy is laying down with an alligator behind him and he's taking a selfie turning his back to the alligator. common sense just isn't common anymore and it just amazes me

how stupid people can be. it's a tragedy waiting to happen. people need to understand that these are wild animals. >> you should have seen dr. besser's reaction hearing somebody with the alligator behind him. >> well, i think ron is on the money, it's just stupid. straight and to the point. now to the williams sisters. killing it at wimbledon. both venus and serena making it to the semifinals. joining us now our good friend, patrick mcenroe, espn tennis commentator. let's look at that shot there at the all england club and let's talk, first of all, about venus. here she is 36 years old. it's, what, the first time, five or six years she's made it to the semifinals of a grand slam. she's overcome a serious illness. put all of this, patrick, into context for us. >> i got to tell you, robin and michael, this story is giving me goosebumps with venus williams because she's been through so much and obviously been overshadowed by her great sister serena who is going for number

22 but, let's remember -- oh, by the way, venus williams has seven grand slam titles herself. she has five wimbledon titles. she's waited a long time for this opportunity. she said yesterday, robin, after she won her quarterfinal match and she said not everybody is serena williams, this is really great for me. for venus, she's got a chance to get back to the wimbledon final but she has a very tough match in the semis. >> i feel like i grew up watching these two perform against each other quite a bit all the time. we're getting almost like a throwback now, possibly get a chance to watch them in the finals. but how realistic is it for these two to make it to the finals? >> well, it would be a shock, michael, if serena doesn't get there. she has been absolutely awesome this year at wimbledon. getting through to the semifinals. she takes on an unlikely semifinalist, elena vesnina from russia. i expect her to win that one. for venus, she's the underdog. angelique kerber is the one who

beat serena williams at the australian open, the german is feisty, she's a lefty, very, very tough and very good on grass. but if venus can find some of that magic we could have another all-williams sisters with -- at the combined age of 70 years old. they're still getting it done. >> yes, yes, and how many people gave richard williams their father a hard time back in the day and here we are 15 years later and look at their daughters and what they're all doing. thank you so much. have some strawberries and cream and wash it down with some pimm's. >> thank you to patrick and ron and dr. richard besser. >> i'll have a few extra for michael. >> he's trying to say it requires a lot to fill me. we'd like to say thank you to all three panelists and you can see all the action at wimbledon today on espn and streaming live on watch espn and also the espn app. >> don't want to miss it. and coming up, don't want to miss this, this morning's hot shot, the new spice girls' remake getting huge reaction around the globe.

experiencing in this bra is then quantified. when jordan changes into an engineered bra, the movement goes way down. >> the bounce is very minimal compared to her baseline trial. >> reporter: when running breasts move in a figure eight so brooks is using fabric that isolates it in specific movements not just pressing everything closer to the chest and that's where images and data come in. >> we want to make sure we stop it happening all around. >> reporter: the ultimate goal, limit motion and pain without, how to say this, smashing your girls. >> i feel supported. i feel like it's the bra i could take to yoga class and running. i can do anything. >> reporter: crunching the motion captured, it reduces vertical motion by 66% and that can make a big difference. just ask another brooks tester robin, an avid runner and 34f. if you are wearing a bra that's not supporting you, what does it feel like during or after the run? >> it hurts. >> reporter: as more of us get active, bra companies are taking note. this zip-up. from victoria's secret. nike has running bras up to 40e

and title ix has a slew of models including one they call the last resort bra. as for that old jog bra -- you know the one -- this bra that i brought with me is quite possibly 15 years old. i still wear this. >> we get this a lot. >> reporter: experts say your bras should be replaced annually. >> the sports bra that you purchased a year ago may not be fitting the same way as it once was. >> and i'm with becky. and you know you've got those old sports bras, too. we're all guilty of it. we could talk about the science. blah, blah, blah, but just tell us in the dressing room some tips so we know we're getting the right fit. >> number one, look in the mirror. it should not look like this. it's two separate pieces. you can lift and separate. we have the technology. see that. okay, so, separate cups. >> yeah, because a lot of them -- it is just like that. >> number two, strappy bras are really in, right? but the straps should never hurt

your shoulders. when you try on a jog bra, you want to treat it like trying on a pair of shoes and you want to jump around and run around the store. if you get red marks, no go. also, 80% of the support comes from the strap. so, when you try it on and you want a lot of support, you shouldn't have more than three fingers under there. >> three fingers. i like this. these are good tips. any more? >> i am taking care of you. you are going to get a great jog bra the next time you shop. >> we won't talk about the other thing she was talking about in the direction that they kind of -- >> no. >> let's go outside to ginger. that direction. ginger. >> always learning, becky. thank you. hey, i wanted to say good morning to grace from marian, iowa, because she made up the coolest sign. i gave up disney world to see ginger zee. i feel like this is a lot of pressure, grace. is it? >> kind of. >> good morning. i'm abc 7 news meteorologist mike. check out the forecast

thank you, mike. we'll have another local news update in about 30 minutes and always on our news app and ♪lways on our news app and welcome back to "gma" and you can see our kid toy testers are having a blast in our "gma" playroom set up outside in times square and they're breaking down the best toys. we'll have all that coming up. before we get to that we have identical sisters leah and sarah, not only do they share the same birthday they gave birth on the same day at the exact same time and they're joining us now from denver, colorado, and la jolla, california. hello, ladies and gentlemen. how are you two or four? >> good morning. >> doing all right? well, congratulations on babies, reid joseph and samantha lynne. now, i heard you planned on not having babies on the same day. is that true? >> it's true. >> true story. >> no planning involved. >> also you talked about having twintuition.

and i have twins. i know that it's a real thing. one kid and the other one feels it. leah, i heard you knew your sister was pregnant before she even told you. how did you know that? >> i did. i don't know. i just had this funny feeling. it's true, thanksgiving sarah and nick visited and when she got to my front door i just knew she was pregnant. >> and, sarah, when she said, did you tell -- did you confront her and say i know you're pregnant or, sarah, did you get a chance to say it before she told you she knew? >> no, she told me first, in fact, she handed me a gift, maybe 30 minutes upon arrival to her place and once she extended her hand with a gift in it i knew that something was up. and ultimately she revealed that we were going to be an aunt and uncle which was really exciting but i allowed her just to have her moment actually and jumped up and down and screamed and it

was really, really exciting for her and her husband kyle. >> then i'm sure when you jumped up and down and screamed when you told leah you were pregnant she better have done the same. >> oh, of course, she did. of course -- >> of course, i did. >> but eventually that was the same reaction. >> now, leah, you're the big sister by 11 minutes and what went through your mind? what were your emotions when you found out that your sister gave birth at the exact same time that you gave birth? >> crazy. but then again, you know, kind of expected because this twin thing just happens and so i wasn't necessarily surprised. ironically i woke up to my water breaking at 5:30 in the morning and later i put it together that she had sent me a text saying she was up since 4:30 in the morning which would have been the exact same time in colorado as it was in california. so ironically i think we had some similar, you know, things

happening at the same time in our bodies which is just wild. >> i tell you what, what are the plans to get the babies together? are they going to get together soon? >> oh, we absolutely want to get them together. >> christmas. >> but we're -- >> i got to say this. >> we're hoping to arrange a meeting sooner. >> hopefully, that meeting is sooner. got to say congratulations nick and kyle sitting next to you and congratulation, daddies, and hopefully you guys are ready to split that diaper duty and we want everybody here at "gma" are so happy for both of you. it's amazing. as a father of twins i can only hope to be so lucky to have two like you. congratulations and enjoy those babies. >> thank you. now we are going to go to george. >> yeah, i'm right behind you. we've got summer savings and amazon prime day coming up july 12th and becky worley back here to talk about this again and explain what that prime day is. >> prime day is a sale only for amazon prime members. these are the folks that pay $99

a year and they get free two-day shipping and they get access to some of that streaming media. this is their day to get 100,000 different items on amazon marked down. my sources telling me every item on the sale is the lowest price it's ever been on amazon or the lowest in at least the last 12 months. >> on the 12th but a rolling sale and already seeing some savings. >> that's right. they're themed. so today it's summer is the big theme that we've got here, entertaining. they've got some gadgets, 60% off from sun valley tech and they've got dinnerware sets, 25%. a fancy blender and this, the big easy true infrared oilless turkey fryer bundle with two leg racks and a kebab set 35% off. >> there it is right there. a lot right there. and so give people an idea what kind of strategy they should follow if they want to be part of this. >> first thing you have to be a prime member but good news sign up for a free 30-day trial and remember to cancel it at the end of the month.

once you're a prime member, you can take advantage, number one, number two these aren't all day sales. these are flash sales that come and go. amazon -- >> how does that work? >> they want you to check in every 30 or 40 minutes to see what's new. well, who has time for that? so get the amazon app is the best advice i can give. you can go through and search all the deals and pick the ones you want to watch and then it'll alert you when that deal goes live. you have -- >> but that's only on the app. >> that's only on the app and can do some with their wish lists online but easiest on your phone. >> i know they tried it before and complaints or questions because it seemed like on prime day there were sales, yes, but they were on oddball items. >> yeah, it's not like cyber monday or black friday where it's gifts that are ubiqitious to usually loved items. what they're trying to do is

move you as a chess piece around their seat and want prime members to see different things. if you normally buy gadgets they want to you look at fashion. what you have to know it's not going to be exactly what you might see on cyber monday. one last tip, all the competitors will be price matching so check your walmart and your best buy, they are feeling competitive pressure to compete with this made up sale day in the middle of summer amazon is creating. >> becky worley, thanks very much. outside to ginger. >> george, i love this. jack thought that if he wore a horse head, on tv, that he would get on tv. it's correct. go ahead and take it off, now they can see jack. this is libby his sister from rochester, michigan. too much fun out here. let's check in on the severe storm reports. more than 228 in the last 24 hour, that's the hail from biscay, minnesota. look at where the threat is today. you could sigh some tornadoes develop especially western south dakota and western nebraska. good morning. i'm abc 7 news meteorologist mike. hope you've liked the weather pattern. not much changing coming our way. 60s at the coast. 70s and 80s once again. here's the 7-day forecast.

a slight warming trend starts sunday. >> this weather report brought to you by angie's list. robin. >> okay, ginger, now to oprah's megahit about a memphis megachurch called "greenleaf" on the oprah winfrey network. jesse recently sat down with merle dandridge, she plays grace greenleaf and opened up about working with oprah, right, jesse >> that's right, merle dandridge has been a star on broadway, tv even in video games and she told me she jumped at the chance to work with the one and only oprah. take a look. >> you're going to tell them that god has a plan for that boy, for the family that his eye is on them. >> which is true. >> daddy, don't give them hope. >> why? >> because it hurts. >> ooh, and we're so lucky to have merle. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> i got to say that this show looks like it's going to be so good.

how did you get involved with this project? >> got a call and got the pages for an audition and i went in, i just met the casting director and i just felt like i really got this girl. then i just dropped the mike and i forgot about it. it was like, all right, bye. >> and i know, of course, oprah winfrey is an executive producer on the show so had you ever met her and did you know her before you signed up to do it? >> not at all. a week after i was working on a different show and checked my e-mail in between shots and an e-mail said oprah would like to meet you at 6 p.m. today and i dropped the phone. >> dropping mikes. dropping phones. on the show "greenleaf" not only executive producing it but she's playing a recurring role. what is it like working with her? >> it's easy to get caught up with oprah is across the table from me but she is a wonderful scene partner. >> there are complex and difficult subject matter and

oprah winfrey said she thinks the show is respectful of the church even despite all this. is there any concern you think viewers at home will misinterpret anything when they watch "greenleaf." >> this show is going to start a lot of conversation -- meaningful conversation in which i think people are not going to feel argumentative but start understanding how other people -- where other people are coming from and i think that's the kind of healing and that's the kind of conversation we really need in our culture right now. >> you could watch "greenleaf." it will air on wednesdays on the oprah winfrey network. >> thanks. >> merle also said she drew on her experience from her own local church for the role which is also based in memphis just like the show. robin. >> hear good things, jesse, hear good things. coming up, the science behind play time. behind play time. how play thank you so much. did you say honey? hey, try some? mmm that is tasty. is it real? of course... are you? nope animated you know i'm always looking for real honey for honey nut cheerios well you've come to the right place. great, mind if i have another taste? not at all mmm

back now with the science of playtime. low-tech toys can have a huge impact on how kids develop and spark their imagination and creativity and one couple, massive empire with toys and games and "nightline" anchor juju chang sat down with them. good morning, juju. >> my kids seem suction cup to screens. especially during the summer. so we often fantasize about those old-fashioned ideas of

letting kids just be bored and that is the genius of melissa and doug. their simple puzzles and crafts and costumes help them explore the endless possibilities of their imaginations. doug, i'll make you a cucumber sandwich. >> i would actually love that. >> they're like the ben and jerry's of toys. they built a $350 million conglomerate using creativity and lots of hard work but they never paid for a single ad. they certainly never invited tv cameras into their home until now. i feel like i'm parked inside melissa's imagination right here. what makes a good melissa and doug toy. >> we've taken an old-fashioned categories but we inject real excitement and pizazz into them. >> what's fascinating your toys kind of slow down childhood. >> that's exactly what we want it to do. >> reporter: after 28 years and over 5,000 products, they're now in the same league as toy titans

mattel and lego but it all started as a humble operation. >> for about two years we ate ramen. >> chicken hot dogs and ramen noodles. >> reporter: it's a glorious day to play. and they have come a long way from the ramen days. now have a basketball court and bowling alley all built for fun. their philosophy is matching the american academy of pediatric recommendations that parents limit screen time for young kids. their toys often tested out by their own six kids. >> tell me why imaginary play is so important for kids. >> that is the essence of childhood. and i mean through imaginary play you discover who you are. you explore, you create, you try things and fail, and it's okay because it's just imaginary, right, so you learn to take risks and discover in that who you really are. >> and all of this springs from their imagination. they are exactly as they appear but let me show you some of their most popular toys.

this is under the role play category, right. you have to be an adult. go ahead and cut that. short of giving your kids a sharp knife. >> there's resistance. >> it has a cool sound. it's very satisfying. >> it is. and role play complex but very real role in kids' development. this was their kickoff launch. these are very simple wooden puzzles and they took an old stodgy category and added pizazz to it as melissa said and so feel these. this has a kind of touch and feel zoo and texture to it. it's simple enough. are you having fun with these? >> you know what, we haven't heard a peep out of them in totally quiet. >> melissa and doug have six children and they talk about how they often let them test toys and play with them but these stuffed animals are a classic example. adults look at the body an fur. kids look into the eyes of these toys and they said mom, this one looks grumpy or happy and they redesign their stuffed

animals. >> this one is staring at me. >> this is having a staring contest. >> i remember my kids playing with these because i thought, wow, these remind me of my childhood and that's the idea. nostalgic. >> the whole idea during summertime when the kids want to do what's easy, something that blinks and has laser light shows but instead, if you let them sit down with a wooden puzzle and just play that does so much to foster development. >> juju, thank you so much. sometimes simple is better. and all that coming up, who is hungry? everybody hungry out here ask we have the executive chef of michael jordan's steakhouse here with crab cakes, pork and a
