good morning, america. new this morning, our brand-new poll showing president trump at a record low approval rating and the clear message from a majority of americans about his twitter account. the president is getting better marks on the economy as the stock market soars and this morning a major new setback on the health care bill. deadly flash floods. nine members of the same family swept away by a wall of water in arizona triggered by torrential downpours as monsoon season gets under way. the new warnings this morning. new overnight, this yoga and meditation instructor fatally shot by police after calling 911 to report a disturbance near her home. major questions this morning. why were officers' body cams not turned on. her family lashing out. and winter is here. the hottest show of the summer, "game of thrones," premiering

overnight. so, what's behind this surprise cameo from one of the world's most famous pop stars? ♪ >> the show so big it crashed the internet. good morning, america. hope everybody had a wonderful weekend and we know that a lot of you stayed up late to watch "game of thrones." a lot of reaction pouring in to ed sheeran's cameo. turns out one of the stars, maisie williams, huge fan so why not? they brought him on to surprise her. >> he ate a squirrel. had some fun. a lot of fans were having fun at his expense as well. more on that coming up. also this morning, we have that new poll from abc news and "the washington post" that points to stark troubles for president trump. his approval rating just 36%, the lowest ever for a president at the six-month point. fewer than one in four americans

says the president's behavior is fitting and proper. 70% call it unpresidential. when asked about tweeting habits, 68% of americans disapprove, 24% approve and one in five called them refreshing. the president taking to twitter to defend his son don junior as questions grow about the meeting with that russian lawyer. our chief white house correspondent jon karl is there in washington with the latest for us. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, robin, after his trip to paris and a weekend spent watching golf at his new jersey resort, the president is back here at the white house fending off new questions related to the russia investigation. the president appeared relaxed and in good spirits watching the u.s. women's golf open over the weekend at his new jersey club. but he is fuming about the investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 campaign. the president's lawyer making it clear who the president believes is leading what he calls a witch-hunt. is he saying that the mueller investigation is part of a

witch-hunt? >> yes, look how it started and as it relates to the president. >> reporter: the president is now also lashing out at those raising questions about his eldest son don junior and the june 2016 team meeting between members of trump's inner circle and a russian lawyer that was held at trump tower tweeting, my son don is being scorned by the fake news media. fake news is distorting democracy. but new details emerged even after don junior himself released e-mails about the meeting. do we now know everything about the meeting, who was there and what follow-up there was? >> the meeting in and of itself of course as i have said before is not a violation of the law. the president was not aware of the meeting and did not participate in it. >> reporter: we know not just one but two well-connected russians were in that meeting, arranged with a promise of providing damaging information about hillary clinton. a russian lawyer aligned with the kremlin and a

russian-american lobbyist who was once an officer in a soviet counterintelligence unit. >> this is about as clear evidence as you could find by intent by the campaign to collude with the russians. >> reporter: 60% of americans think it was inappropriate. the president has said he would testify under oath about all of this. >> would you be willing to speak under oath to give your version of the events? >> 100%. >> reporter: but his lawyer said he doesn't think the testimony will happen. >> the president -- you. >> don't think it would happen. >> he said he would do it -- at this point we have no indication whatsoever of an investigation of the president with regard to any of this. >> reporter: i also asked the president's lawyer if the president would consider pardoning the key figures in this investigation. people like former national security adviser michael flynn, his former campaign chairman paul manafort. many democrats fear he will do that. the president's lawyer said he hasn't talked to the president

about that but certainly didn't rule it out saying, quote, he can pardon individuals, of course, that's because the founders of our country put that in the constitution, the power to pardon. robin. >> we'll wait to see if that happens. we'll have to still wait on this health care vote because it's been put on hold again. >> reporter: it's been put on hold because senator john mccain had surgery and it's expected he'll take a week or more to recover. robin, i think it's quite possible this health care vote gets delayed until after the summer sometime in september. >> that is quite possible. all right, jon, thank you. let's get more from matthew dowd. matt joins us this morning. let's dig into the poll more. the partisan divide as wide as ever. put up this number first showing 82% of republicans support president trump right now but only 11% of democrats. the real trouble for president trump there is that independents number, though, only 32% support. >> yorj, that independent number that was basically roughly even

and now donald trump has a minus 27 net number among independents. this divide, though, is really important. it's grown over the last 25 years from where it used to be, 40 points between the in party and out party, now it's 70 points plus, that makes it a very difficult process for either side to get anything done as divided as we are. >> and as bad shape as president trump is in, not a lot of good news for democrats, either. 37% of americans think the democratic party actually stands for something, has an agenda. more than half say they're just standing up against the president. >> well, we have washington, d.c., where the president is unpopular, both major parties are unpopular. congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle are unpopular and all the institutions in washington are unpopular with the american people. as i said yesterday, it's marvel comics movies. where we have all villains and no superheroes. >> and not a lot of popularity for that health care bill either. jon karl just said it could be put off now until september if it ever gets the votes at all. but this number really is stunning in the poll.

right now, 50% of americans support obamacare, only 24% support the repeal, more than 2-1 right there. it is hard to imagine really pushing this kind of legislation that is this unpopular. we've never seen that before. >> no, we haven't. as you remember with obamacare, at least it was roughly even when it started then it dipped over the years and the only thing -- the interesting thing, george, donald trump has done something barack obama was never able to do, donald trump has made obamacare popular and president obama was never able to do that. when you start this low usually you only go lower and it puts a lot of pressure on those republican senators that are moderates in those states where people do not like this republican proposal. >> real quickly, you and i both served in white houses. the six-month point usually a point where presidents shake things up if they're not going well. what's the single thing he could do to start to turn this around? >> well, as we saw from the poll, a big part of what's driving his negativity, george,

is his tweeting and the way he communicates. if all he did was adjust that i think he would begin to rise. he doesn't seem to be willing to do that. >> so far nothing yet this morning. okay, matt dowd, thanks very much. george, one of the high points for president trump in our latest poll, the economy. 43% say they approve of how he's handling it while 41% say they do not. wall street appearing to react positively, the dow closing at a record high on friday, a lot of eyes are on the market this morning. and our chief business and economics correspondent, rebecca jarvis, is there at the new york stock exchange with the details. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, robin. that's right, wall street sees this white house as pro-business. that's what's helped propel stocks to new record highs. the prospect of tax reform, deregulation, an infrastructure program, all of these things that business uses positive, with them the market continues to rally but without them many investors are concerned about whether or not all of the rally we've seen so far is really

justified. also put all of this into context, since the great recession, since the market bottomed in 2009, stocks are now up more than 200%. and since the rally began this year and stocks have added $1.7 trillion in value, one-third of that value has come from just four companies -- amazon, apple, alphabet, the parent company of google and facebook -- and, robin, the concern is that if any of those companies waiver, so goes the stock market, robin. >> as you often tell us, the stock market does not like uncertainty. all right, rebecca, thanks so much. okay, robin, we'll turn to that deadly storm that swept across arizona taking the lives of nine family members in a horrifying flash flood and ginger is here with the details. >> good morning. such a sad story and a really rough morning, still in phoenix, this morning, hours ago, i-10 closed. you can see right there at seventh street the water flowing in.

this is an image we'll see more of this afternoon and today. more of this too, where damaging winds come along with it knocking down tree, but yes, after a deadly weekend flash flood threat for most of arizona. this is the chilling moment a flash flood overtakes a family outing in arizona. >> there's the son over there and the mom's in the water. >> reporter: a man struggling to hang on to his son. 14 members of one family celebrating a birthday at this swimming hole when a 40-foot wave of black water crashed over them. nine of them dead this morning. including six children between the ages of 2 and 13. one still missing. >> it's my brother. he has to be found. i can't stop looking until he's found. >> it came on them very quick and there was no reaction time. this is the worst flash flood accident we've had. >> reporter: driving, monsoon rains up to an inch and a half per hour causing the washout. this time lapse shows the intensity of one of them kicking

up dust further south. the flash flood watch in place for storms this afternoon and evening and could happen again. it could take an inch per hour and very quickly the water will come down in the blue, south of flagstaff through phoenix and tucson, an afternoon and evening but beginning of monsoon storm season so could see 3 plus inches in some of these spots. >> thank you. now to major questions about a fatal police shooting in minneapolis. a woman killed after calling 911 to report a disturbance outside. officers' body cameras were not turned on during the incident and abc's linzie janis is here with that story. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning to you. justine damond was just 40 years old and to be married, calling 911 to report a disturbance in the alley behind her home but somehow she ended up dead. overnight, a minnesota community

coming together to mourn a 40-year-old meditation and yoga instructor who was shot by police after she called 911 to report a possible assault in the alley behind her home. >> we want to remember really peaceful lovely woman. >> reporter: the woman, justine damond, was originally from australia and due to marry her fiance don damond next mom, her stepson zach, the first to arrive at the scene. >> my mom is dead because a police officer shot her for reasons i don't know. >> reporter: the minneapolis "star tribune" reports two officers in one car responded to her 911 call and they pulled into an alley about 100 feet behind her home, wearing her pajamas she came out to explain why she called 911. while speaking to the officer, in the driver's seat, the officer in the passenger seat pulled out a gun and shot her through the driver's side door. the police department saying the officer's body cameras were not turned on and the squad car did not capture the incident. both officers on leave this morning. the community desperate for answers.

>> i am heartsick and deeply disturbed. i have a lot of questions about why the body cameras weren't on. >> reporter: the neighborhood had three lights mounted on telephone poles between ju justine's house and the alley. most garages had motion detection lights. the body cam rollout for minneapolis police was complete following last year's death of philando castile who was shot and killed by a cop while his girlfriend captured it on facebook live stream. a month ago, the officer in that case was acquitted. justine's fiance was away on a business trip when she was killed. investigators are still scouring the area for possible security video hoping maybe the shooting was caught on camera. in the meantime, so many questions about what happened. >> still no excuse why those cameras were not on? >> nope. >> just heartbreaking. thanks so much. now amy has the morning's other top stories starting with a headline that affects so many.

>> it does. there is new research, guys that is linking extreme stress in your life to a higher risk for alzheimer's disease. stressful events like the death of a loved one, a divorce, or even being fired from your job, can age your brain by as many as four years. one theory is that stress increases inflammation in the brain. well, a beloved community activist who campaigned against street violence is among ten people shot and killed in chicago this weekend. the youngest victim of the weekend gun violence in the ty is a 9-year-old boy who died in a drive-by shooting. no word of any arrests in either case. and some stunning video from st. louis. an suv ended up on the roof of this house. look at that. police say the driver was speeding and launched over an embankment. he is in critical condition but thankfully no one was home at the time. actor martin landau has died. he was perhaps best known for his role on the tv series "mission: impossible." but he won an oscar for his portrayal of bela lugosi in "ed wood."

landau was 89. and hollywood is mourning the loss of george romero directing "night of the living dead." romero was just 77. people reacting to a former bride's ago of kindness. sarah cummins had to call off her $30,000 wedding a week before and rather that let everything go to waste she invited homeless people in the indianapolis area to the reception and a local business helped donate suits and dresses. the meal included bourbon-glazed meatballs and chicken breast with chardonnay cream sauce and she said it was an opportunity to let people experience what everyone should be able to experience and they were very grateful. it was a beautiful gesture. >> beautiful story. thanks, amy. now to the action at wimbledon. roger federer making his case for best pro ever by winning a record-setting eighth title and just weeks shy of his 36

birthday. no signs he's slowing down and t.j.'s here with that amazing story. >> good morning, like fine alpine wine, this guy gets better with age. now the oldest man to ever win a title at wimbledon and he won this tournament without dropping a single set. now he's been known to break down his opponents but that doesn't explain why his opponent yesterday was crying uncontrollably midmatch. >> it's another one for the ageless wonder. >> reporter: roger federer is now the men's wimbledon champ for the record eighth time. >> i always believed that i could maybe come back and do it again. >> reporter: his opponent, marin cilic, was gunning for his first wimbledon win and opened the first set on the attack. but that didn't last long. federer showed why he is a 19-time grand slam winner. while cilic showed signs of distress. >> cilic is imploding. >> reporter: a fall in the second set, then a stunning moment courtside. the crowd watched in shocked silence while cilic cried uncontrollably. >> we've seen tears going down the big man's face.

>> it almost liked like he's hyperventilating. >> reporter: as a doctor and trainer rushed by his side. >> unless it's more emotional than physical. >> i think he's upset because something is hurting to the point where he doesn't think he can continue to play. >> reporter: this went on for nearly three minutes. it was later revealed cilic had a severe blister and knew his championship dreams were shattered. >> my mind was all the time with the pain and it was tough for me to focus. >> reporter: federer now the oldest man to win in the 170-year history and paused to appreciate the moment. >> it is cruel sometimes but he fought well and he is a hero so congratulations on a wonderful tournament, marin, and you should be really proud. >> again, cilic just overcome because he knew he didn't have a chance after working for this moment, and you knew who was there, the royal box, check them out. the royals, the duke and duchess

there checking it out, looking cool as of, and the moment afterwards they greet federer and he got some love from the duchess there. a couple of kisses on the cheek so always a fun time and good to see who is there. >> no pics of the two sets of twins. >> what do you want from me, robin? >> only gave him 20 seconds. >> thanks for that, t.j. ginger. >> yes, i was watching. i thought you were going to say hugh grant was there. quick look at livingston, texas. tornado this weekend. that did damage today. damaging wind possible even in the northeast, vermont to pennsylvania. let's get to the select cities now brought to you by petsmart.

and the parents are fighting for answers. it was supposed to be a fun family vacation to a five-star all-inclusive resort in playa del carmen, mexico, the kind of luxury seen in this promotional video. but just hours into this wisconsin family's trip, 20-year-old abbey conner and her 23-year-old brother austin ended up in a mexican hospital. abbey dying just days later. >> somebody needs to be held responsible for this. >> reporter: her biological father who was not on that trip speaking out by phone. >> it doesn't make any sense. we're lucky we didn't lose both our kids. >> reporter: they had been swimming at the pool just chest high water this january at the iberostar paraiso resort. mom and stepdad say they left the pool to get ready for dinner. but an hour later, abbey and austin didn't show up in the lobby. they learned they were in an emergency room 14 miles away. the hotel reportedly told them both were found unconscious in the pool face down. austin with a concussion and golf ball-sized lump on his head. abbey with a broken collarbone. brain dead. she died in a hospital days later.

>> she was healthy but, for some reason she drowns in a pool waist deep. it's unbelievable. >> reporter: we know that their blood alcohol level was around a 0.25. that's three times the legal limit in their home state of wisconsin. and austin says the last thing he remembers was taking a shot with a group by the pool. something like a jagerbomb. a 70 proof cocktail of jagermeister and an energy drink. >> there's so many unknowns and mystery around what happened to these two kids. that it really begs for a thorough investigation. >> reporter: mexican officials have ruled this an accidental drowning. but that's not enough for the family. mexican police, they say, refuse to investigate further but past guests have reported blacking out after drinking at the resort's bar. one woman writing online, i remember thinking, i must be dying. another guest writing his wife blacked out, became violently ill. the resort reportedly telling the family there's no surveillance video. the state department telling abc news it is aware of this case.

back now with that massive sinkhole wreaking havoc in florida over the weekend. two homes destroyed after the ground just opened up. abc's newest correspondent victor oquendo is near the scene in land o' lakes, florida. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, robin. crews have been very busy. one of the first things they did was set up a perimeter, they put up this fence. there's that sinkhole just feet away from where we're standing

and as we look above from our drone, you can see all the debris inside part of the house that's left standing, that green bathroom, all that roofing, even a boat. and crews are being told they have to wait a few more days until they start the cleanup process. this morning, a massive sinkhole just north of tampa, florida, swallowing and destroying two homes. watch the moment neighbors captured this roof come crashing down. the sinkhole now stable, officials say. five homes remain evacuated. but now the big concern? water contamination. officials testing the drinking water of at least 15 homes in the area. how long before life returns to some kind of sense of normalcy? >> we're probably looking at several months before we can get this back to situation normal for these folks. >> reporter: pasco county emergency officials calling it the biggest sinkhole in at least three decades. the gaping sinkhole is 225 feet wide and 50 feet deep. you can see from our drone all that's left of a bathroom, roofing, and a boat.

a disaster area now filled with mud, sewage, and toxic debris. >> i see a big hole, and i see a lake, and i see that we're in the middle of it and probably not a good thing. >> reporter: sinkholes occur when limestone gets eaten away by water creating a cave and the weight above becomes too heavy. >> the arch roof gets so thin that it can't handle the weight of what's above it. >> reporter: while this one outside tampa is unusually large, sinkholes are a common problem in florida. more than 3500 spread across the state. according to the united states geological survey, over the last 15 years sinkholes cost at least $300 million in damage per year on average nationally. however, since there is no nationwide tracking of sinkholes, they believe that number may actually be higher. the water levels have come down by a few feet but there's actually a car that's sitting underneath the surface that might be plugging the sinkhole. the cleanup process will take some heavy equipment, dump trucks, possibly even cranes, and officials want to make sure

the ground is stable before they get that process going. it will likely be months before this area is back to normal. robin? >> victor, thanks so much. every time i see video like that. >> mm-hmm. coming up on our big board, "game of thrones" is back breaking the internet. wait till you hear what people are saying about ed sheeran's cameo. your body was made for better things than rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist move to another treatment, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz is a small pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can reduce joint pain and swelling in as little as two weeks, and help stop further joint damage. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you

internet. >> winter is here. hbo's website temporarily crashing as viewers flocked to watch the highly anticipated season seven premiere which included a cameo from ed sheeran. take a look. ♪ a woman's hands are warm ♪ for hands of gold are always cold but a woman's hands are ♪ >> it's a pretty song. i've never heard it before. >> it's a new one. >> you know, amy is our resident superfan and she says, yeah, sure, why not? it's perfect to have ed sheeran doing that. let's talk to lindsay miller about that. she's the editorial director of "pop sugar" and so, lindsay, what's the reaction been and what did you think? >> well, i mean, this was a major tv event. there were more than 2.4 million tweets about the season premiere last night. that makes it the most tweeted episode in "game of thrones" history. and the show is watched by 23 million people.

so there were lots of celebrities tweeting along. josh gad is one example. he really did not want any spoilers while he watched. and, of course, we have that ed sheeran cameo. i think a lot of fans were very excited to see him on the series. one person tweeted this, really excited gif of andy from "parks and rec." some people kind of thought seeing him on the show took them out of world of "game of thrones" a little bit. and someone tweeted a gif of searcy rolling her eyes. and as you can imagine, there were lots of really fun memes that referenced ed sheeran's song lyrics but sort of reimagined for "game of thrones." >> they got people talking. this isn't the first celebrity cameo. >> no, you know, "game of thrones" has had a lot of fun having musical artists sort of pop up in unexpected ways over different seasons. we've had the drummer from coldplay and the lead singer of snow patrol just as a couple of examples. >> now, talk is that next season will be the last for this show. but come on, it can't be over.

there's got to be more to it. >> well, you know, hbo is reportedly already looking at four to five different prequel series that they could go with. but there's 13 episodes of "game of thrones" and so we're going to see those air through 2018. potentially even into 2019, so we've got a lot of "game of thrones" left. >> absolutely, because they keep us waiting. >> and on another front, another popular franchise. "doctor who" is making some waves, as well. >> yes, they just cast a woman as the doctor for the first time in their more than six-decade history. so this is a really big deal and a historic moment in tv. >> as someone said, it's "doctor who," not "mr. who." so, everybody, just calm down. it can be a woman playing. >> exactly. thank you. >> all right. >> thanks very much. and coming up here on "gma," a health alert. do artificial sweeteners make you gain weight? dr. ashton is here with that. and new secrets about the next "star wars" movie.

good morning, america. it's 8:00 a.m. our brand-new poll shows the president at a record low approval rating and a clear message from so many in the u.s. about trump on twitter. also this morning, the new setback for the health care bill. the fight for baby charlie. a team of doctors at the hospital this morning, seeing if they can make the case that he could benefit from experimental treatment in the u.s. the crucial issue they're focusing on before going back in front of a judge. new this morning, are all those artificial sweeteners people use to avoid sugar causing you to actually gain weight? dr. ashton breaks it down. and will and kate on a royal road trip. it starts this morning. george and charlotte are there. will they steal the show? and did you know it's world emoji day? and we're feeling sir patrick stewart, maya rudolph and jake

t. austin all here live. >> i wish we had an emoji for this but instead they're here to say -- >> all: good morning, america! and good morning, america. welcome to a new week. it is a beautiful morning here in times square. >> absolutely gorgeous. and remember when we shared this video with everybody, that powerful image of the beachgoers forming a human chain to save strangers trapped in a rip current. well, this morning, six of those rescuers are going to join us live. and we have a big surprise ahead. remember, we were like, we want to meet them? >> yes. >> boy, talk about the human spirit. >> that is going to be a special moment. but first, the top story and our morning rundown. president trump has hit a record low approval rating in our new abc news/"washington post" poll. as he faces more questions about the russia investigation and his son don junior's meeting with russians to get dirt from the russian government about hillary clinton and our chief white house correspondent jon karl has

more from washington. >> reporter: good morning. the president is back here at the white house after a weekend watching golf at his new jersey resort and lashing out on twitter about the russia investigation, specifically, those new questions raised by his son, don junior's meeting at trump tower last summer with two well-connected russians. the president has repeatedly called the whole thing a witch-hunt, and when i asked his top lawyer who he was talking about, he made it clear that he meant the man leading the investigation. >> is he saying that the mueller investigation is part of a witch-hunt? >> yeah, look how it started as it relates, especially as it relates to the president. >> reporter: i also asked the president's lawyer if he would rule out the president issuing pardons for key individuals in this investigation, people like former national security adviser michael flynn. he said he hasn't talked to the president about that but he certainly didn't rule it out saying, quote, he can pardon individuals, of course, that's because the founders of our country put that in the united states constitution, the power to pardon. george, you can imagine if he does that there will be quite an

outcry, george? >> to say it would set off a political firestorm. okay, jon, thanks very much. >> would not set well with a lot of people. let's turn to abc's james longman with the latest on infant charlie gard. who is at the center of a life support controversy in london. an american doctor is now in the uk assessing charlie's chances for treatment. give us the latest, james. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. yes, this is the day that charlie's family have been fighting for. a team of doctors is this morning at the great ormond street children's hospital behind me assessing charlie. what they're looking to do is work out if this new experimental treatment could significantly help him. it's all focused on the brain, the big question, has there already been too much damage or could this treatment help reverse that? now, this team includes dr. michio hirano, a u.s. brain specialist from columbia university medical center. he thinks there is a 10% chance

of improvement in baby charlie's muscle strength. he's joined by an italian doctor from the vatican. some of his doctors here as well as a court intermediary and charlie's mother, connie. they'll have today and tomorrow to make assessments and make a report. and that will go back to the high court and a judge will be able to make a ruling, we think, maybe next week. >> the judge said he wanted the newest and latest information before making the ruling. thank you, james. amy with the other stories in our rundown. we have new details about a deadly flash flood in arizona. nine people died when the storm upstream sent a large wave sweeping through a swimming hole in arizona's high country. all nine were from the same family gathered for a birthday party. the youngest victim was just 2 years old. one man is still missing and, unfortunately, more storms are on the way. authorities in minneapolis are investigating a deadly police shooting. a yoga instructor who called 911 to report a possible assault near her home was shot by one of the responding officers. police are not saying why the officer opened fire. they say the officer's body cameras were turned off.

and it appears a cyberattack could be behind a diplomatic crisis in the middle east. intelligence sources tell "the washington post," the united arab emirates hacked into government websites in qatar in may. and planted a false story praising iran. several arab countries later cut ties with qatar. and the republican health care plan is in limbo now that the vote has been postponed once again. it comes after senator john mccain underwent surgery for a blood clot. he may need more than a week to recover. and we are now hearing from the driver who survived a freak accident in orlando. a 7,000-pound metal pipe crashed on top of his van after falling off a truck. he told us over the phone he doesn't even remember the crash. >> i didn't know what to think until the nurses told me what happened because i didn't know what was going on. i couldn't believe i was alive. i think it is a miracle. and i'm thankful that it happened to me and it didn't happen to, like, little kids who were passing by there.

>> remarkably he just suffered a cut on his head and is okay. and finally, a man with an unbaaalievable devotion to his sheep. baaa. he showed up at this grocery store in northern ireland, with his sheep on a leash and thought it would be okay since the store's policy only said no dogs allowed and made no mention of sheep specifically. but he was escorted out of the store anyway. fair to say he was led out against his wool. >> see, you were invested in that one. >> i know. i just couldn't do the baa in unbelievable. >> thank you. coming up, a health alert. do artificial sweeteners make you gain weight? and will and kate on a grand european tour. we have new pictures of their trip with george and charlotte. let's go upstairs with lara. >> hello, george. coming up, we'll take you behind the scenes of one of the biggest disney events out there. exclusive details coming your

still quite serious. so enjoy, everybody. that was "pop news." >> thank you very much. >> you got to point that out. the best thing. she was clapping and singing all through "pop news." she loved every bit of it. can you say hi? >> oh, my gosh, beautiful baby. >> now she got shy. >> it was really funny because mom was, of course, mortified, that her beautiful child was making noise. and we're over there going, it's okay. it's okay. >> come one, come all. >> this isn't the all england club. you can do what you want here. but thank you very much. we're going to move on now because we're talking about a "gma" health alert. new questions about something so many put in their cups of coffee every morning. millions use artificial sweeteners to avoid the calories and real sugar, but a new study is raising questions about whether those sweeteners could actually make you gain weight. and that's why our senior medical contributor jen ashton is here. >> yep. >> so what does this study say? >> robin, this was really -- this study sought to answer the question do these non-nutritive

sweeteners typically zero calories do what they're supposed to do for the number on the scale. do they lower weight? do they lower body mass index or waist circumference? because some data suggest that they could do the opposite. so, this particular report looked at 37 studies, crunched all the respective data, which had limitations because of the methodology, but basically interesting findings. in the short term which was about six months they found no reduction in weight or body mass index. and in the long term, about an average of ten years, they could actually increase our weight, increase our body mass index, and increase our waist circumference, all of which puts us at risk for heart disease. >> well, what was shown to result in weight loss? >> that's the million-dollar question. based on the data, clearly portion control works, but it's instinctive when you're trying to drop weight to say, let me cut calories and really this might not be all it's cracked up to be. so, portion control works. diets in general, lean protein, high fruit, vegetables.

watching the sugar, those work. >> you have a degree in nutrition. so, tell us, how do sweeteners and sugar react in our bodies? >> this is the interesting thing, robin. people get very heated and defensive on their particular type of sweetness, right? their sugar and artificial sweetener. we know from things called functional mris taht in the brain, whether it's good old table sugar or agave or honey or ten with a chemical name, it lights up that reward center and what does that do? it makes us eat more. want more. and we get into the vicious cycle. in the gut and in the mouth, there are some subtle profile differences between different types of sugar. but ultimately, they can all increase our waistline. [ baby babbling ] >> tell us -- you hang in there, baby. you just hang in there. momma, you too. don't you worry about it. don't you worry about a thing. sugar. we'll keep the baby away from sugar. so, what are your suggestions here? >> i think everyone has to find what works for them.

if you have a sweet tooth, and if there's evidence that's genetically imprinted on us as early as when we're had utero. do you have a sweet tooth? >> yes, because of my sister and the bone marrow transplant, i have one now. >> really? i didn't before. but i do. you have to feed it. >> so, if you're trying to taper down and we all should be aware of our sugar, i recommend a gradual slow taper so let's say you put two teaspoons of something in your coffee go to with you, go to a half and slower taper down, maximum 25 grams a day for women, added sugar for men, it's about 37. >> and we know that sugar is everywhere. >> it's everywhere. >> in this fruit but it's natural, so that's -- >> i'll give this to the baby after i take a bite. >> already. jen, thank you very much. george? >> thank you, robin. now to the royals, william and kate kicking off a five-day tour of poland and germany and the kids are going to steal the show. abc's eva pilgrim with the story. >> they just touched down in poland for the first leg of their big european trip.e e wil it's their children, george and

charlotte, that will undoubtedly steal the show. wheels up. will, kate, and the kids are headed on a blockbuster european trip just hours after the royal couple cheered roger federer to an eighth wimbledon win. will and kate with george and charlotte in tow are headed to germany and poland on their first official joint visit to the region. the duke and duchess with a jam packed itinerary with a face-off, going head to head in a major rowing race, a reprise of their famous dragon boat race in canada in 2011. >> that will be a very fun, colorful engagement and dressed down. they'll be going head to head. they often talk about how competitive they are privately. there is a competitive edge there for sure. >> reporter: the visit coming at a crucial time as the uk grapples with brexit, the plan to leave the european union in the next two years. the royal couple and their two adorable children on a charm offensive of sorts.

>> there's no doubt that the timing of this visit is crucial. what they will do is remind europe, remind poland and germany of the strong links between the uk and those two countries. and of the hopefully enduring links throughout and beyond brexit. >> reporter: will and kate typically draw large crowds but all eyes will be watching for the crown jewels of the royal family, their children. this will be george and charlotte's first public appearance since the queen's birthday parade in june, a month after stealing the show at their aunt pippa's wedding, and their second time touring with their parents seen last year in canada. >> the couple really want to introduce themselves as a family to these two countries. i think as well as the kind of soft diplomatic politics that's going on, you have the family image, too. >> reporter: and it's that image of the young royal family that people around the world will be clamoring to see. and it's so rare that we get to see the kids. people love to see them. so no doubt, george and charlotte will attract more attention, something that i'm sure is not lost on their parents as they try to smooth political relations in europe.

>> very smart right there. eva, thanks very much. let's go over to ginger. >> let's start out with a beautiful morning here in times square. and my ladies from georgia, what are you guys doing here? >> just a girls' trip. >> just a girls' trip. we're almost sweaty out here. it's pretty thick. not as thick as it will be later in the week and especially in parts of the midwest. look at those excessive heat watches in kansas city, st. louis included, and even parts of western minnesota, that would be the heat indices, 104 by wednesday and, if you are staying around for your girls' good monday morning, i'm mike nicco. it's going to be sunny today, even at the coast, no record heat. clouds return, cooler weather foals. temperatures from 60s along the coast in san francisco. 70s and 80s around the bay.

sleep right now we'll go to the big secret revealed at disney's d23 event from the stars of the most anticipated movies. and our matt gutman sat down with the new "star wars" and "avengers" cast. he has all the details from l.a. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, lara. disney unveiled a massive roster of movies including sequels to "frozen," "the incredibles," "wreck-it ralph." but as you just mentioned, it was marvel's "avengers" and "star wars" that brought the house down. we got a exclusive sneak peek of both, including footage that no one outside the event was able to see. the next installment of the galaxy far, far away got a lot closer this weekend. this behind the scenes tantalizing 7,000 here at the

d23 expo. >> aren't you just on tenterhooks now to think about why i'm here? >> reporter: well, yeah, we do know the action will focus on the relationship between luke skywalker and rey. >> between luke and rey there is a lot to be learned and she's learning as she goes. >> i could have been more welcoming but it's like, you know, the senior citizen coping with uninvited guests. >> reporter: "the last jedi" so cloaked in secrecy the cast admits it's on the dark side of the details. is there more in this installment and the upcoming installments than we have seen before? >> you've read the upcoming installment? i haven't. >> it's going to unfold for even me. >> reporter: you don't know? >> i sometimes ask benicio. >> but i don't know. >> reporter: one mortal who may know? our own jedi, disney chief, bob iger, sneaking in for that class photo. battling evil closer to earth, "the avengers" with the new

villain, thanos. >> that's the thing with thanos, there's times where it can become psychological and not necessarily brute force. >> interesting. >> more interesting for adults now. >> yeah. >> you, your eyes glimmered. >> reporter: and even villains can have a bromance. in "infinity war" the day is saved by a huge constellation of stars. >> he is really, really, really fun to work with and -- >> oh, thanks, likewise. >> reporter: it was so packed with stars some even crashed each other's interviews. there's nothing good in there. >> that my juice? >> break time. there's juice in there. >> reporter: cementing her own immortal status, whoopi goldberg with a disney legend award. she already has a grammy, an emmy, an oscar, and a tony. >> this is a big deal to me. kids who are really rough childhoods, they could always have a disney movie. >> reporter: i admit i couldn't leave this year's expo without a little swag in my bag. joining the minions in line.

now, i tried to use that jedi mind trick to get the cast to reveal more about both "the avengers" and "star wars." now, one star did tell me that "the avengers" has a 30-minute battle scene. "star wars" is out in december. and folks have to wait until may for "the avengers: infinity war." lara? >> all right, matt, you gave it a good try. >> i did. >> a very good try. lots of the secrets. coming up, we have some of the heroes that formed this incredible chain to save a family. they're with us live.

good morning, we have an update on that breaking news out of monterrey county. we just learned from the chp that he was found in san jose. the amber alert is now cancelled. salinas was not harmed. no word on how he was found, who kidnapped him, or if have been any other arrests. we'll be following that throughout the morning. >> here's a live look at the richmond san rafael bridge. we have reports of a crash. we were looking backed up a few minutes ago. looks like that's starting to improve. hopefully that's clear. no delays santa close is a to san francisco. ad northbound 17. >> thanks

the drought in california has killed trees on a massive scale. any of those trees that fail into power lines could cause a wildfire or a power outage. public safety is the main goal of our program. that's why we're out removing these hundreds of thousands of hazard trees. having tools and technology gives us a huge edge to identify hazard trees. my hope is that the work we're performing allows that these forests can be sustained and enjoyed by the community in the future. together, we're building a better california. good morning, already 22 degrees summer spread from 58 at half moon bay to 80 in brentwood. it's going to be a little breezy north of the bay bridge. mild to hot from san francisco to our inland neighborhoods. if you're taking mass transit, today is going to be one of our hottest days. another abc 7 update in 30

minutes. you can always see you can tell we have this great audience with us this morning and we have the story behind that incredible image just grabbed our hearts. many so of those heroes are here after a family was caught this a rip current. this exemplified good samaritans. 70 mil 70 and it started when this family's sons were swept away. >> they were screaming and crying and begging for me to get them out. >> reporter: roberta and along with her husband, brother, nephew all caught in the power finn riptide.

derek simmons came up with a life-saving plan. >> let's get as many as we can to grab hand, wrists. we just kept yelling at the beach, people we need help. >> reporter: strangers joined in. one by one pulling the victims safely to shore. >> oh, my gosh. [ cheers and applause ] >> it is great to have derek and jessica simmons, his mother mary, their nieces kelsea and katelyn and their friend adam. give them a big hand. [ applause ] and momma would say, i just want to look at you. all this video. we wanted to bring as many of you together to say thank you so much and i know derek and jessica, it was your original idea. just tell us how did you come up with this. >> it was just on a whim. everything just was real clear. you know, when we got over and we noticed what was going on and we were already waist deep in the water, it was just -- it was just clear, get in the water,

get them out, but we -- i knew just on prior instinct, growing up in rivers and lakes, around rivers and lakes, that you got to -- if you're too far out you got to have something to get back in, so it was -- we didn't have a rope or didn't have anything so the only thing that could come to my mind was arm to arm, we can make links and get out to them. >> you're yelling down the beach. what are you yelling to people. >> i'm yelling, guys, grab arm, grab wrist, we got to make a long enough pathway to get to them. >> you guys had to swim out to start the chain for everybody to join. >> right, exactly. like they were performing the chain, getting everything together. they were yelling at people. they were yelling that they need two more feet to get to these people. well as that was going, i had a boogie board so swam out there to give it to them to try to keep them afloat so the human

kwhan could get to them in time. >> mary, you know, you guys aren't thinking of yourselves. you're thinking of others. >> no, ma'am. it's just -- i believe that that's the way we were brought up. you know, if you can help someone in need you always should help someone in need and i would want someone to do that for my family. so it was very important to me that we all join in and help. >> you know what i loved about the human chain, it was the human chain. >> yes. >> people of all races, sizes, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] >> yes. >> that was the most humbling part for myself is to see all different nationalities. people that don't speak the same language, races, shapes, size, religion. >> doesn't matter. >> didn't matter at that point. >> you know what got me, many, many things about this, but, derek, when we ran the story and you said i'm just an average joe. i wasn't in the military and we said, honey, come on now. but that's what you felt that you -- you don't know that's

within you to be a hero. >> no, you don't. >> none of you do. >> well, you know, this is a big couch. there's a lot of space here. you know, i could lay out on it but we want to bring out some very special people, roberta and brian, two of the people that you helped save in that rip current. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. >> how are you doing, man? >> good. [ applause ] >> thank you so much. >> any time. >> how are you? >> so happy for you. >> how are you? >> you sit on down. sit down right here. >> oh.

what do you want to say to them? >> thank you. i mean, y'all are my angels that day. all of y'all, the whole chain, you know, sean and tab that, all of y'all, y'all have -- y'all my angels that day that saved my family. and without y'all and god that day we wouldn't be here. >> and how is everybody? i know that your sons were in the water and they're doing okay and -- >> they -- they're good. they're scared to go back in the water. they don't want to go to the beach any time soon but they're good. they hated they couldn't get to be here today. they're at home helping take care of ghani, my mom just got out of the hospital. >> she had to go to the hospital after that. >> she had a massive heart attack during the ordeal and she -- >> there she is. >> yep. she -- she was bound for two

days and had a whole bunch of procedures and everything done but she's -- by god's grace she's going to make it. [ applause ] >> that had to be something -- total strangers. >> it was. it was amazing to see the entire chain form. when they could have been doing anything else they wanted to. >> yeah. >> they just stopped doing everything they were doing to form -- at that point it didn't matter who you were, what race you were from, what your background is, they stopped to help save my family. >> well, i know that you are saying thank you and your sons, they couldn't be here but they want to say thank you to you all. they have this little video for you. >> thank you for showing so much courage and being there for us. >> we couldn't thank you all enough and you are our heroes. >> both: thank you. >> ah. [ applause ]

>> what is the message here? >> what do you think? >> for me the message we get a lot of bad news, there's a lot of things that go on in our universe this our world that shows a lot of hate and i -- i just hope that -- we didn't do this for any limelight. we did it just -- we did it because that's what we would want somebody to do for our family and, you know, i think the message for me is that if you're unsure, you know, of course, i wouldn't want to hear of anybody hurting theirselves but do unto others as you'd want done unto you. if you can help somebody, it doesn't have to save a life but if you can feed them, feed them. if they're hungry, you don't -- that's just how we were brought up is that you lend a hand to

anyone in need that you can. >> uh-huh. >> you done real good with this kid. this is your son. >> yes. >> wow. and you raised him to be like that. >> yes, ma'am. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> oooh. [ applause ] i mean, we were part of the news and have to do these stories. you know, the beginning of the show and there's so much that's going on in the world. when we saw this, we said, we have to have you here. we have to show people that there's good in the world. so thank you. thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. we'll be right back. we'll be right back. you did it, roberta. ♪ ♪ award winning interface. award winning design. award winning engine.

silence in response to this and it was only after a while i realized maybe i had given offense. >> yes. >> that i was saying you are or don't you know i am and anyway, you've got to be very clear about the potency of your emoji. >> that's the theme that happens. maya, you're the center and play the smiler. and you can almost feel you smiling. you were -- and you said that. that while you were in the booth, voicing this. >> i had to -- i had to smile the entire time i was doing it which is actually very difficult to smile that much while you're talking. >> because you're just so happy. >> yeah, it's a little intense. it's a little intense to talk like that the whole time you're talking. it's sort of like -- it feels like these muscles go to sleep. >> then your character isn't quite so happy but you still are -- >> she's like all the emojis in the movie, she's meant to be

what you see so -- >> but there's more? smiling all the time but there's more. there's definitely more. >> we're spying because somebody just had a birthday and wanted to celebrate it with you. sir patrick, do we have a little treat for -- can we say happy birthday to sir patrick stewart. get a picture of the cupcakes we chose for you and right in the middle. >> there you go. >> there you go. >> lovely. >> thank you so much. >> the little one is just for you. you guys, it was great fun having you. the movie is a blast. fun to see the emojis that all of us have started to use so much as part of our lives come to life in a really great way so thank you very much. >> thank you. >> happy birthday. >> happy birthday. >> thank you. >> great job, maya, great job, jake.
