good morning, america. breaking news as we come on the air. the russian defense ministry claiming the leader of isis may be dead. the man responsible for the deaths of thousands. possibly killed in a russian air strike. what we're learning overnight. also this morning major reversal. president trump's big announcement about cuba now just hours away. and the new fallout over his twitter tirade, calling the russia investigation a witch-hunt led by bad people and still tweeting about hillary clinton months after the election. and a new twist this morning, reports that the business dealings of jared kushner are now being investigated by the special counsel. medical mystery. new revelations that the american student held captive in north korea now has extreme brain damage. his doctors calling it

unresponsive wakefulness. >> he shows no signs of understanding language. >> his family, as you can imagine, upset and furious, as they share this new footage showing their son playing with north korean children just before he was detained. and coming together, republicans and democrats taking the field as one overnight. praying and playing that charity baseball game after the shooting rampage targeting congressmen. one of the hero officers throwing out that first pitch. and the latest on representative steve scalise's condition this morning. good morning, america. happy friday. >> we made it. >> it's great to have david. >> just starting out with you guys. >> great to have david with us. i know you were in d.c. shortly after the shooting rampage and we really saw a show of unity

last night on the baseball field. >> yeah, coming together. so many lawmakers told us while we were there that they hope this is a turning point in the country that we bring down the temperature of the rhetoric. you can see them praying, both democrats and republicans kneeling on that field just a day after the shooting and that was quite a moment, robin. >> it certainly was. >> almost 25,000 people were at the game. a record crowd. the most we've ever seen, 25,000 showing their support and unity. the fans holding up these signs in the stands saying scalise strong, and one family. that is awesome. >> the president also had a message for the crowd. we'll have much more on that ahead. first to the breaking news this morning, the russian defense ministry saying they may have killed isis leader abu bakr al baghdadi. our chief investigative correspondent brian ross has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the claim came this morning in an official statement from the russian defense ministry say they may -- may have killed the isis leader in an air strike

about two weeks ago. this morning the u.s. military says it cannot confirm the claim but if true it would certainly be a major victory against isis. abu balker al baghdadi's brutal reign only began three years ago but in that time as the founder of isis, he became the face of evil to the civilized world. >> history will regard baghdadi as a bloodthirsty tyrant. during his reign his organization conquered a vast stretch of territory ruled over something like 5 million people. and he imposed his iron will and executed anyone who stood in his way. >> reporter: and it was baghdadi who inspired his followers to stun the world with social media videos that depicted barbarism and atrocity. among his thousands of victims were four young americans taken hostage in syria. james foley, steven sotloff, peter kassig and kayla mueller whose parents say baghdadi took their daughter as his personal sex slave before she died in captivity. >> look at the symbolism in that. he's raping america.

>> reporter: baghdaddy had been a prime target of u.s. forces. and he has been reported dead many times before, only to reappear. the russians claim one of their air strikes last month near the city of raqqah targeted a meeting of top isis leaders and that some 300 of them were killed. the russians say baghdadi was at that meeting and that's why they say they may have killed him. but the statement is far from definitive. and there have been no words of baghdadi's fate. >> many claims that he was killed before. brian, thanks. >> more on that. joining us is abc news consultant colonel stephen ganyard. if baghdadi is, indeed, dead, what does this mean for the fight against isis? >> robin, probably in the short term it will have some effect in the fight around raqqah. the tactical situation. it may upset the isis leadership. so but longer term think about what happened after bin laden, not much. think about what happened after

zarkawi, not much. this is an ideological struggle. not like north korea where if kim jong-un was killed the regime would collapse. in an ideological structure like this killing an individual soldier may not have a long-term effect. >> as david just mentioned this is not the first time that he has been reported dead. so how do we know for sure? >> well, we don't. remember, raqqah is a city under siege. so the russians have no hard evidence. there's no dna evidence that would suggest that he's dead. the other thing is this morning, robin, the department of defense and the u.s. has told us that they've heard no chatter. so nothing to back it up. no intelligence to back it up. so we need to remain very, very suspect of this claim. >> i'm sure. thanks so much. robin, we turn back to that baseball game we began with. players from both teams wearing the lsu gear to honor congressman steve scalise. it was quite a game last night. the images were very powerful. congressional correspondent mary bruce was there and joins us from nationals park this morning. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, david.

yeah, quite a game, indeed. a record 25,000 tickets sold. more than $1 million raised for charity as this annual tradition now takes on new meaning. the game began with this surprising emotional moment on the pitcher's mound. capitol police agent david bailey, who was wounded protecting so many of the players, throwing out the first pitch. [ cheers and applause ] overnight lawmakers turned to ball players. democrats and republicans setting aside politics for friendly competition. ♪ god bless america >> reporter: taking to the field united before a packed stadium. >> democrats and republicans, play ball. >> reporter: in the spotlight the teammate who wasn't there. >> steve scalise, this hat is for you. >> reporter: republican congressman steve scalise still in critical condition after

being gunned down at wednesday's practice. the shooter's wife speaking out thursday for the first time. >> horrible. horrible. >> reporter: shocked and unable to explain her husband's actions. >> i had no idea this was going to happen. and i don't know what to say about it. >> reporter: back on the field last night both teams coming together to heal kneeling in reflection at scalise's second base position. on the big screen, the president saying the game sends a strong message about american resilience. >> by playing tonight you are showing the world that we will not be intimidated by threats, acts of violence, or awe sassaun our democracy. the game will go on. >> reporter: in the dugout the president's daughter, ivanka trump, spotted greeting lawmakers before the game. and on the sidelines wounded congressional staffer zack barth still on crutches and still cheering them on. >> powerful night. mary, back with us live. what do we know about

congressman scalise's condition and the condition of the others who were injured? and you've also got news about the trophy. >> reporter: david, this morning scalise is still in critical condition. but we're told he is improving. now, also still hospitalized that capitol police officer crystal griner and matt mika, a former staffer. and actually one of the republican coaches. all of them very much at the front of everyone's minds here last night. and while technically, the democrats did win the game this morning they're giving that trophy to steve scalise. >> it's going to be in his office. we loved hearing that. all right, mary. thanks a lot. appreciate it. >> we loved hearing he is improving. a lot of other major stories coming out of washington. president trump is heading to miami where he is expected to deliver a speech on u.s. relations with cuba and reverse some of president obama's policies imposing restrictions on travel and trade. and the senate is sending a strong message to russia. voting 98-2 to impose new sanctions for its meddling in the election. this as the president blasts the russian investigation calling

it, quote, a witch hunt amid reports the special counsel is examining whether he obstructed justice. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has more details for us. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, robin, good morning to you. news the president himself is being investigated for possible obstruction of justice has set him off. he is on a twitter tirade. the president took to twitter lashing out at "the washington post" report that he is now the subject of special counsel robert mueller's investigation into possible obstruction of justice. the president calling it a phony story and the single greatest witch hunt in american political history led by some very bad and conflicted people. but now another twist, "the post" reporting that as part of the russia probe, mueller is also investigating the finances and business dealings of jared kushner, the president's son-in-law. kushner's lawyer telling abc

news we do not know what this report refers to. mr. kushner previously volunteered to share with congress what he knows about russia-related matters. he will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry. >> mr. president, do you believe that you are under investigation now? >> reporter: no comment from president trump. instead, he called for unity in the wake of this week's shooting. >> it's more important than ever to help each other, care for each other, and remind each other that we are all united. >> reporter: but less than five hours later, he was back on the attack. this time going after democrats and his old opponent, why, he wrote, is that hillary clinton's family and dems dealing with russia are not looked at but my nondealings are? a far cry from his plea issued just hours earlier in the name of his friend steve scalise. that injured congressman now fighting for his life. and this morning, president trump heads to miami where he's expected to announce his new cuba policy. this means rolling back a number of changes that the obama

administration had put into place. fewer americans will be allowed to travel to the island. if they go, david, they'll have to go as part of an organized tour group. that's a big change. >> i know you'll cover it throughout the day. see you on "world news tonight." now to tensions growing at bill cosby's sexual assault trial. the jury deadlocked overnight. and the judge ordering them to go back and try again. abc's linsey davis outside that courthouse in norristown, pennsylvania, with the latest. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, david. day five and fatigue and frustration have both now set in. it was as if you could see the air going out of the tires yesterday as cosby accusers learned that the jury was deadlocked. and at this time, cosby supporters now say it's time for the judge to declare a mistrial. >> this is unprecedented. >> reporter: bill cosby's spokesperson expressing outrage overnight, arguing that it's time for the judge to declare a mistrial. the jury of 12 struggling to reach a unanimous verdict has

now deliberated for 40 hours. thursday morning when jurors reported they were deadlocked, the judge sent them back to try again. while cosby's fate hangs in the balance, andrea constand, the former temple women's basketball director of operations who claims cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2004 tweeted this light-hearted video yesterday. shooting hoops as she waits in the courthouse for the verdict. the tag line, always follow through. her case against cosby is the only criminal prosecution from the allegations of more than 50 women who have accused the comedian of drugging and/or sexual misconduct. several accusers attended the trial and expressed their frustration with the jury's deadlock. like victoria valentino who has been here for two weeks and came all the way from california. >> i feel very deflated. i'm worried, but i -- i do -- i'm holding on to some hope because the judge is telling them to do back in there and work on it.

>> let me see. >> reporter: thursday tempers flared on the steps of the pennsylvania courthouse between cosby supporters and an alleged victim. and while early in deliberations the jury asked to have the testimony from both constand and cosby read back to them, it's now been more than 24 hours since the group asked a question. >> in a case like this where you have no witnesses, you have no forensics, it's a he said/she said case. and credibility is everything. >> reporter: if the jury comes back again and tells the judge that they are deadlocked, at that point, it really is at the judge's discretion to determine if he's going to say that this is a mistrial. if he does, at that point bill cosby would walk out a free man and then it would be up to the district attorney's office to determine if they're going to try him again. david? >> linsey davis who has been on the case since the start. linsey, we appreciate it. let's bring in our chief legal analyst, dan abrams is with us.

so the jury is deadlocked. >> yep. >> the judge tells them to go back and try at it again. how common is it, though, that a jury changes its mind, someone on the jury and come back with a different decision. >> it happens occasionally. judges do this in any case where a jury says, we can't reach a decision. the judge is effectively saying, please, go back, talk about it. see if you can reach an agreement. think about all of the time and effort that has gone into this trial. he's not saying that. but the judge's goal here is see if there's any way to get a verdict. i have seen cases where despite the fact they said we're deadlocked they then change, they talk and they do reach a verdict. but it doesn't happen all the time. >> not all the time. if it comes back and the judge declares a mistrial today what then for bill cosby? simply walks free? >> for now. and then the question will be, do the prosecutors decide to retry him? and i think there are going to be two key factors there. number one, what does andrea constand think? does she want to go through this again? if the answer is yes that will

have a big impact on the prosecutors. number two, what was the vote on the jury? meaning if they were 11-1 for a conviction, i think it would be hard for the d.a. not to retry him. if it was 10-2 for an acquittal it makes a much better argument to let it go. >> we'll watch it throughout the day. amy has other news involving u.s. troops. >> that's right. the pentagon preparing to send nearly 4,000 more u.s. troops to afghanistan to fight the taliban and isis. that's according to the associated press which reports most of the troops will train and advise afghan forces. and there are new tensions now between the u.s. and turkey following this brawl in washington last month. police say bodyguards for the visiting turkish president attacked peaceful protesters and now u.s. officials have a -- issued arrest warrants for 12 of those bodyguards. turkey's president says local police failed to protect him. authorities in london now fear as many as 100 people may have died in wednesday's apartment tower fire. crews are working in secure areas of that building trying to find any remains, a criminal investigation is under way. and a special tribute to adam west better known as tv's

>> well, robin, this is where we have to do that medical detective work and take what we have in front of us, in this case, a patient who can't really relate his own history, and try to think back in time as to what could cause something like this. when you talk about diffuse global brain damage, that does usually occur as a result of what we call an anoxic brain injury or deprived of oxygen. the brain is incredibly sensitive tissue, can only really withstand that for a few minutes. and if that is not correctly and swiftly repaired, absolutely can cause permanent and irreparable and severe brain damage. >> and the doctors say they have ruled out botulism. can that be tested for so far removed? >> well, i mean, in theory, yes, you can test the blood for antibodies to this bacterial toxin. those assays have limited evidence in the medical literature, but botulism 101,

this is a toxin liberated by a bacteria that can be found in soil, wounds, or contaminated food. it causes what we refer to as a descending paralysis so it starts in the head and works its way down the body and, robin, to be clear, there are reports, it is out there in the medical literature that botulism can possibly be used as a weapon of bioterrorism, although, again in this case, no evidence from the medical team that that's what happened. >> so, what do you believe possibly the prognosis could be for him? >> you know, this is a tragic case. and obviously i'm not his physician. even his medical team is not giving what we refer to as a prognosis. you know, in someone who has severe and global or diffuse brain damage we worry about that person being able to protect their airway and aspirating contents from the stomach into the lungs leading to, you know, severe and sometimes fatal pneumonia. but the rehab for someone like this is extensive.

very specialized care is required. >> i would imagine so. jen, thank you very much and, boy, are we thinking about him and his family. thanks so much. >> incredibly sad. we turn to that story breaking overnight, two inmates on the run since tuesday finally captured in tennessee. taken into custody after a chase with police. and abc's steve soosunsami is in madison, georgia, this morning where the prisoners were last spotted before they were caught. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, david. the fbi whose mobile command center is behind me, along with the law enforcement officers from three states all celebrating the capture. police here are hoping they can have these two fugitives here back home as soon as today. caught and headed back to prison this morning, these cell mates, fugitives, and now accused murderers seen here in handcuffs in tennessee. the smalltown georgia sheriff who led the manhunt hopes to

nerve. and less than a week later, she was dead, after what seemed like a routine visit to the chiropractor. now her family says that chiropractor is to blame. this morning, a lawsuit over the shocking death of playboy model and social media star, katie may. >> hi, i'm katie may. >> reporter: claiming the 34-year-old's fatal injury after a visit to the chiropractor last february was the result of medical malpractice. may dying at a hospital a few days after her visit. >> we got a call, and by the time my parents got out to l.a., the next day, she was on life support. >> reporter: the suit filed wednesday on behalf of may's 8-year-old daughter against chiropractor eric swartz argues the defendants did not exercise that reasonable degree of knowledge and skill required with a neck manipulation and by not advising may to get a ct scan. >> there was a clear and obvious cause of death that result -- was the result of clear negligence. >> happy veterans day to all our

troops. >> reporter: before her death, may boasted more than 2 million instagram followers tweeting about hurting her neck in a photo shoot a short time before her death -- pinched a nerve in my neck on a photoshoot and got adjusted this morning. it really hurts. the chiropractor reportedly tore one of the arteries in her neck cutting off blood flow to her brain. the coroner's report finding blunt force injury of neck a cause of death. in a statement to abc news, the attorney for the chiropractor says, we recognize how tragic the situation is. but an unfortunate outcome does not necessarily mean that ma malpractice occurred. let's not try this case by allegations and innuendo. >> the fundamental question, jury or judge will have to decide is, was the chiropractor negligent? not did she die as a result of what he did or didn't do. >> reporter: now the lawsuit says may's daughter is traumatized by the loss of her mother and best friend.

adding, any money that comes from this case will go to her college fund. in a statement, the california board of chiropractic examiners tells us the number one priority is patient safety. and we take an incident like this very seriously. now, this case is understandably raising a lot of questions about the safety of a chiropractor's visit. studies have shown that mild side effects like soreness, those are very common and can happen in up to 60% of these cases. serious effects like what we saw here are very rare. >> wow. >> so scary. >> still scary, though, yeah. >> very much so, mara, thank you. what's coming up on the big board, michael? you know what's coming up. is it time to say good-bye to boarding passes? the new technology using your face or your fingertips that could transform the way we fly. we have a sneak peek when we come back in two minutes. ♪

be the beginning of the end of boarding passes. the tsa now revealing they're trying out fingerprints and jetblue is rolling out new facial recognition technology, moves that could revolutionize the way we travel. david kerley, he's our guy. he joins us from boston's logan international airport. i can see you there by jetblue. by one of those new machines. tell us how it works. >> reporter: brand-new, robin. only one flight, but jetblue is testing this new technology. it is facial recognition technology and the way it works is it takes a picture of your face and then it goes to the customs and border protection computer and makes a match between your face. i'll give it a shot. here's how it works. you come up and stand in front of this camera. it takes a picture of me. now it's querreying that computer. and for some reason, i didn't clear. let me try one more time to see if it works. i'm standing still this time. i got to tell you it worked twice before. i got a little green spot here and that means you're able to board. and that's the way it's going to

work. all you need is your face, not a boarding pass. and you can get on the plane. they're starting this first flight to aruba and folks are trying it right now and getting on the aircraft. >> are you sure you bought a ticket? that could be the problem. you know what, david, this isn't the only type of biometric screen that passengers may see. there's more coming in the future possibly. >> reporter: absolutely, robin mentioned the tsa is already talking about fingerprint, all biometric information, the irises, if you see clear, they're using both of those right now. the former head of the tsa told me basically it depends on how much biometric information you want to give to authorities and the airlines. and it could make it much easier to board. but a lot of questions about privacy. how much do you want to give to to airlines? you may give it to the government but to the airline? a lot of questions to be settled. and that's why jetblue is using

facial recognition. there's not much you can do to hide that. >> how much do you want to get on that plane to aruba? i know you're tempted to board. but you were denied. >> reporter: it would be okay. i'll try again as soon as you clear with me. >> okay. >> thank you, david. next up we got a major change involving one of the most famous songs in the world, yes, john lennon's "imagine." 46 years after its release the classic is getting a new co-writer. john lennon's wife yoko ono, the national music publisher's association, announcing widow will get credit for her role in the creation. t.j., this was a long time coming. >> reporter: yeah, strahan, i think we can get on board with the idea of setting a record straight but we are talking about now, correcting a historical record on one of the most iconic songs from one of the most iconic musicians the world has ever known. this is a big deal. yes, the music publishers association surprised yoko ono. she had no idea this was coming

at an event earlier this week when they announced the process is now under way and they have started to get her an official songwriting credit on that song. they say they are sure now that john lennon, the late john lennon does not deserve sole credit for that song "imagine." >> he was pretty much saying that back in 1980 before she was announced yesterday. they played a clip from a bbc radio from john lennon. let's take a little bit of a listen. >> actually that should be credited as a lennon/ono song because a lot of it, the lyric and the concept came from yoko but those days i was a bit more selfish and, a bit more macho and i sort of omitted to mention her contribution. >> macho, okay. that's code for a little -- a little ego there, t.j., but, you know, he did admit it back then in 1980. >> he admitted it then. he went further to say, look, if i had done it with david bowie this would have been a lennon/bowie song but said flat out -- she deserves credit. he went as far as saying, he

said it nonchalantly, she deserves credit and says, she's just the wife. you don't give her credit, right. but in 1980 he made things clear. she deserves credit, guys. >> all right, t.j. i think this shows how influential she was in his creativity so congratulations to her. >> that shot of t.j. there. >> imagine, imagine t.j. >> looking good in the park. all right. giving us the bum's rush here. coming up, health alert. new warnings about the dangers of those laundry pacts. coming up "gma's" summer concert series presented by king's hawaiian. irresistible since 1950. ♪ the sun'll come out tomorrow... ♪ for people with heart failure, tomorrow is not a given. but entresto is a medicine that helps make more tomorrows possible. ♪ tomorrow, tomorrow... ♪ i love ya, tomorrow in the largest heart failure study ever, entresto helped more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading heart failure medicine.

all morning. >> yes, they have. and you know hat? father's day is just two days away. so happy early father's day to all you fathers out there. and happy father's day to myself. >> ah. did you see the sweet hugs from them? >> you know what, the baby was crying in the commercial break and the father was holding the baby smiling with that panic, like, please stop crying. we've all been there, sir. we've all been there. we got a great story about someone you and i, robin, we know pretty well. he was a single guy who couldn't wait any longer to become a father. >> we love this guy. you know him, as well. hill harper and look at his precious baby boy, pierce. he adopted him at birth. he's now about a year and a half. it's a truly remarkable story that he's ready to share now but it's very rare for a single dad to adopt. only 3% of adoptions are single dads. >> really. >> yes, a great story. we'll get to that, but first, let's go back to amy with the morning rundown. amy? >> good morning, guys. the big story, word that isis

leader abu bakr al baghdadi may have been killed in a russian air strike in syria. the russian defense ministry is making that claim but there are serious doubts about it this morning. in fact, a u.s. official says, so far there's been none of the chatter online that would typically follow the death of a senior isis figure. al baghdadi's death has been falsely climbed in the past, so we will keep you posted on this story. in the meantime, president trump announcing plans today to roll back president obama's policy on cuba. this comes as he rails against the special counsel investigating russian interference in the election. and a new report saying the investigation now includes his son-in-law's business dealings. senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has the very latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: amy, good morning to you. the president clearly not happy about this report that he personally is being investigated for possible obstruction of justice. he is now on a twitter tirade. the president calling it a phony story, and the single greatest witch hunt in american political history. he also attacked

democrats and hillary clinton. this less than five hours after calling for unity in the wake of that shooting attack on congress. but this morning, he heads to miami where he's expected to roll back some of the obama administration's cuba policy. under the new rules, there will be restrictions on trade and fewer americans will be allowed to travel there. the white house says this is meant to restrict american dollars flowing to the cuban military. amy? >> all right, cecilia, thank you. tomorrow marks the 45th anniversary of the burglary at democratic party offices in the watergate hotel. a programming note a special edition of "20/20" will bring you never-before-seen tapes and interviews about that scandal. "truth and lies" begins at 9:00, 8:00 central. and a show of solidarity at the the congressional baseball game last night. members of congress tossing aside partisan politics to play and pray together following that shooting rampage at their practice on wednesday. a capitol police officer injured while protecting them threw out the first pitch. nearly 25,000 people packed the stands raising more than a million dollars for charity and

both teams wore lsu gear in honor of congressman steve scalise who remained in critical condition overnight. a consumer alert. concerning those liquid laundry detergent packets. a leading consumer group is warning at least six dementia patients have died after mistaking them for food. consumers are advised to keep them out of reach from the people with cognitive impairment. significant changes are being made to reduce the risk. finally a rather shocking number. a recent survey by a dairy organization asked 1,000 american adults where does chocolate milk come from? and 7% said it comes from brown cows. that works out to about 16.4 million people. perhaps even worse, 48% admitted they're not sure where chocolate milk comes from. and to that, i say, it's "udderly" ridiculous.

>> you're one of those people. >> come on, amy. don't have a cow. >> don't have a cow. >> i know. >> how now brown cow. how about "pop news"? yes. well done. it's friday. good morning to you all and good morning to you. and we begin with a proud moment for larry king, the hard-core baseball fan will have to root for a team other than his beloved l.a. dodgers. his son, chance, is going -- >> it's okay. don't make the baby go outside. >> hi, baby. >> it's okay. >> this is the great thing about having a live audience. >> it's father's day. >> he's shaking his head. there you go. happy father's day. >> oh. >> that's "pop news," everybody. no. >> you were saying -- >> crying when the camera hit him he stopped. >> we understand. >> a future anchor. >> a ham in the making. i was saying larry king, congratulations. happy father's day. he is a huge baseball fan,
