good morning, america. breaking overnight, health care collapse. two gop senators deal a fatal blow to the republican effort to repeal and replace obamacare. a major defeat for president trump. he responds just repeal it now, replace it later. brand-new details about that bride-to-be killed by police. >> shots fired. we've got one down. >> what we're now learning about the officer who reportedly fired from his vehicle as the victim's fiance speaks out. >> our hearts are broken. >> demanding an explanation. the mayor of minneapolis joins us this morning. bombshell claims. the parents accusing superstar r. kelly of holding their daughter against her will. >> my daughter is severely brainwashed. >> allegations that six women are living in cult-like conditions at the r&b star's homes. not free to live. the grammy winner now responding.

♪ oh, here we go and close encounter. the superstar paddling above two great whites. >> they're so powerful, you definitely don't want to fall in. >> rob lowe's once-in-a-lifetime adventure captured by tmz with his son by his side. we do say good morning, america. normally when you see a great white you go in the other direction. >> he seems pretty calm about it. >> not rob lowe. a very busy tuesday morning. major news coming out of washington. what looks like the death blow to the gop effort to repeal and replace obamacare came late last night when two conservative senators announced their opposition. it simply can't pass now. president trump responded with a tweet, calling on republicans to simply repeal obamacare now and deal with replacing it later. he says democrats will join in but there is zero chance of that but the gop leader senator mcconnell says he will call the repeal vote anyway.

that is also all but certain to fall short. as you can imagine, reaction pouring in from both parties. let's get right to our congressional correspondent, mary bruce, on capitol hill. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is a stinging setback for republicans. the president and their signature promise to the american people. overnight, leader mitch mcconnell conceded defeat saying it's clear their effort to repeal and immediately replace obamacare will not be successful. [ chanting ] overnight, a devastating blow to republicans' signature promise to overhaul obamacare. two key republicans defecting announcing they cannot support the current bill. in a statement, kansas senator jerry moran says we should not put our stamp of approval on a bad policy. and senator mike lee of utah he says the current bill doesn't go far enough in lowering premiums for middle class families. or roll back enough of the most costly obamacare regulations. republicans could only afford to

lose two votes in order to get the bill through. they've now lost four. for weeks republican leaders tried to bridge the divide within their own party. >> look, we need to tackle this problem. >> reporter: but not even pressure from the president could push it over the finish line. >> we must repeal job-killing obamacare. we have to do that. we're getting it together and it's going to happen. >> reporter: so what comes next? the president says republicans should just repeal failing obamacare now and work on a new health care plan that will start from a clean slate, and mitch mcconnell seems to agree, calling overnight for a vote on a straight repeal of obamacare with a two-year delay to provide for a stable transition. and this morning, democrats seem to be relishing this moment. leader chuck schumer saying this is proof that the core of the republican bill is simply unworkable. robin. >> so can this plan work to repeal now, replace later? can it get the votes?

>> reporter: robin, this is going to be an uphill battle. republicans have done this before and passed a bill in 2015 but it's unclear if they can do this again. mitch mcconnell seems determined to get republicans on the record on this, but he still needs to get those 50 votes and republicans are likely to have serious concerns about the possibility of leaving americans in limbo and what a straight repeal could mean for the market. robin. >> that is concern about the limbo part. mary, thank you. let's talk to our chief white house correspondent jon karl for more on this. and, jon, president trump simply blindsided by this and it is such a huge blow, along with building that border wall, this was his signature promise in the campaign. >> reporter: this was his biggest legislative goal this year, george. and those two senators, republican senators effectively killed it without first calling the white house letting them know they were going to do it. now they're on to this plan b which mary is exactly right, this is going to be a very tough lift but, george, consider this, when the senate voted on this last, 2015 just a little over 18 months ago, it passed and it

passed with 49 senators who are currently in the senate, plus 1 that voted for a similar bill in the house, so theoretically there are 50 republicans on the record supporting this plan b which is simply to repeal it. >> we both know that back in 2015 that was a free vote because president obama was going to veto it. right now they face the prospect, if they vote for repeal only, according to the congressional budget office, that would mean 32 million people would lose insurance, even more than the plan that's on the table now. >> reporter: absolutely, george, and it means a completely eliminating subsidies that are helping people buy insurance. it means rolling back all of the medicaid expansion, so it's much more extreme than what they've been voting on so far. but what they are doing, what this bill will be -- will be to repeal it over three years, so the actual repeal would not happen for three years, what you'll hear republicans say

is that they'll have time to come up with an alternative to pass in the interim so when this all goes away there will be something to replace it with. of course, no guarantee on what that would be. >> right, and it's very hard to see where they get the votes for this. is there any talk now of actually reaching across the aisle, working with -- putting this aside and working with democrats on a plan to fix obamacare? >> reporter: well, that is exactly what mitch mcconnell, the republican leader, said would happen if this did not pass, but it appears they are going in the opposite direction. they will first do this. if this crashes and burns and it will be a very hard bill to pass. then i imagine you will see them reaching out to democrats but that's not happening yet. not at all. >> jon karl, thanks very much. >> thank you, george. now to those new details about that deadly police shooting in minneapolis. a bride-to-be killed after calling 911 for help. we're now learning more about the police officer as her heartbroken family demands answers. we'll hear from the mayor of minneapolis in a moment, but first, abc's linsey davis is on the scene there for us with new reporting. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, robin.

you can see the alley where she was killed right behind me. answers are trickling in very slowly. while we still don't know what led up to the death of justine damond, we now know what caused it. the medical examiner is ruling her death a homicide from a gunshot to the abdomen. >> our hearts are broken and we are utterly devastated by the loss of justine. >> reporter: the fiance of meditation and yoga instructor justine damond is pleading with minneapolis police asking them to explain why an officer shot and killed his future bride. >> sadly her family and i have been provided with almost no additional information from law enforcement. >> reporter: the 40-year-old originally from australia is seen in this video from 2015 talking about her spiritual journey. >> welcome. i'm originally from sydney, australia, and we have a beautiful tradition there. >> reporter: she was getting married next month. but that all changed saturday night at 11:28 when she called police to report a possible assault in the alley behind her home. >> female screaming behind the

building. >> reporter: just four minutes later officers on the scene reported they'd opened fire. >> 530, i'm starting cpr. >> copy, 530. doing cpr. >> reporter: there's no dash cam of the incident and both officers' body cameras were turned off. >> like you, i have a lot of questions about why the body cameras weren't turned on. >> reporter: the minneapolis star tribune says damond in pajamas approached the police parked at the end of this alley 100 feet behind her house and say she was standing at the driver's side of the vehicle when the officer in the passenger seat reportedly reached across the vehicle and opened fire shooting her through the driver's side door. that officer, identified as mohamed noor, a two-year veteran of the force. noor, a somali-american joined the minneapolis police force two years ago and has had three complaints filed against him, two still open. the 31-year-old has been sued after a may incident where a woman complained he grabbed her too roughly. sources close to the investigation tell abc news' minneapolis affiliate kstp

damond was shot two to three times. investigators say no weapons were found at the scene, other than the officer's gun. noor and his partner are both now on administrative leave and noor's attorney released a statement saying that damond's family is in his daily thoughts and prayers and added noor joined the police force to serve the community. robin. >> all right, linsey, thank you very much. now the mayor of minneapolis, betsy hodges joins us. we appreciate you spending some time with us because don't have to tell you the grief, the outrage. this happened on saturday, still no explanation as to how or why this happened. are you satisfied with how police and investigators are handling this thus far? >> well, first, i have to agree with you, this is just a devastating thing for our community, for the country, for the world really. it's just tragic and awful and disturbing.

and we as a city have a policy now that we do not investigate ourselves. and so, in critical incidents like this, so the state bureau of criminal apprehension took over right away. they have been the lead investigator. i encourage them to give as much information as swiftly as possible, but not compromising the investigation. but i have the same questions everybody has, what happened? >> but you're the mayor, and the family of justine, aren't they deserving of some explanation at this point, something? >> yes. i mean, i've spoken to her fiance. you know, he has the same questions everyone has. but we need to make sure that there's an investigation so we can answer those questions thoroughly and whatever happens, but i don't know what the answers are, that's the trade-off of an independent investigation as we aren't in

charge of it. but, you know, i know the bca is doing the best they can and moving as swiftly as they can or i hope so and i hope that they release as much information as they can as swiftly as they can. >> and one of the many questions, of course as you know, the body cameras. now, minneapolis police are required to have them. neither officer had turned his on. i'm sure that's one of the many questions that you have like the rest of us. why? >> yes, absolutely. you know, i fought hard to make sure that we have body cameras. they're very powerful tool. they're not an infallible tool but they're an important tool in 21st century policing, and i don't know why it wasn't turned on. i don't know what happened. that's one of the key questions that we have as this, you know, as the investigation moves forward. >> do you know if it was ever turned on? we know that it wasn't turned on before but even after there is

procedure saying that you should turn it on. do you have any idea if at any time it was turned on? >> i don't know at this point. the body camera data and footage is with the investigator and that's independent from the city so i don't know. >> finally, mayor hodges, where do we go from here? you are fully aware of the frustration, and how do you maintain trust from citizens when something like this happens? >> it's been a question this whole country has been trying to answer and in minneapolis, you know, i and the chief have been working very hard to put the foundations in place for 21st century policing. you know, body cameras are one element of that. we have made policy changes. we've enhanced our training. we're doing community policing and putting the resources in for that. partnerships in collaboration between the community and law

enforcement creates both trust and public safety. all of those plus more are elements of 21st century policing and we have got to keep pursuing that and we are continuing to pursue that. moving forward. >> well, again, mayor hodges, thank you for your time and hopefully some of these questions will be answered soon. primarily for justine's family and we're thinking of them and your community. thank you, mayor, very much. >> thank you very much. >> and those answers cannot come soon enough. >> nothing about this makes any sense. >> it doesn't. we are going to move on now to new details about that deadly flash flood in arizona that killed nine family members. this morning, one of the survivors is speaking out about his close call in those waters. it was captured on his gopro, and ginger brings us the story from philadelphia. good morning, ginger. >> good morning to you, george. you know, today will mark the fourth day of potentially dangerous flash flooding in the southwest.

this as we get an inside look at what it was like in that deadly weekend storm. >> if i make it out of this alive -- >> reporter: this morning, new gopro video of the moment those arizona floodwaters swept away 14 family members. nine died including six children. brandon west is counting his blessings this morning. he was enjoying a beautiful day of swimming in the same spot, when suddenly the raging mountain of water and ash came rushing toward him hurtling everyone in the swimming hole toward three waterfalls. >> you make the wrong step you get sucked under. you just pray you're making the right decision. >> reporter: brandon held on to his dog lucky for dear life. >> i don't want to seem ungrateful for being alive but i just wish they were too. >> reporter: overnight, a roof collapse in atlanta. >> we got at least 20 people out here that were in the building when it collapsed. they're triajjing right now. >> reporter: georgia officials saying heavy rain could be responsible for this collapse at a restaurant injuring six

people. in california, raging wildfires forcing people to flee their homes. more than 11,000 acres torched in the detwiler fire. watch as these flames get dangerously close to interstate 5. and i want to take you to the red flag warnings on the map now because they're calling this a particularly dangerous situation. humidity levels as low as 6%. the winds will gust to 35%. some of those fires will explode even further. they are working so hard. then finally the flash flood watch, that monsoon moisture pouring in, and then a quick look at how much rain will fall. you can see two inches per hour or two inches in 30 minutes is what we saw in arizona just yesterday. much more to come on this and the severe weather today in just a couple of moments. robin and george. >> we'll get back to you in a moment. thank you, ginger. turning though, now, to a major development in that indiana murder mystery where two teens were killed while hiking. police are now releasing a detailed sketch of the suspect and saying the five-month-old case is nowhere near over. abc's alex perez has the details.

>> reporter: this morning indiana authorities hoping the release of this new sketch will help them track down the man they say killed 13-year-old abby williams and 14-year-old libby german. >> we're still getting anywhere from five to ten tips a day. we're still getting e-mails so it's not something that -- this case is not dried up. it is not a cold case. this case is still very active. >> reporter: investigators say the sketch is based off of information from witnesses who were on the nature trail that day. the two friends vanished back in february after setting off for a hike at this trail in delphi, indiana. libby even snapchatting this picture of abby on a railroad bridge near the trail. the following day investigators discovering their remains about a quarter of a mile from that bridge. at the time, authorities releasing this image of the same suspect they say libby was able to capture on her phone and this chilling audio. the suspect's voice. >> get down the hill. down the hill. down the hill. >> reporter: the girls' bodies were found near the foot of a hill. for five months, the fbi along

with local investigators have been hunting for answers combing through more than 18,000 tips, abby's heartbroken mother says she's confident closure will come. you need, want answers and an arrest. >> nothing we do now is going to bring the girls back. but the person that did this is going to have to pay the consequences for that. >> reporter: libby's grandparents hopeful that new sketch will lead to an arrest. >> oh, no, no, we'll never give up hope. that's not in our vocabulary. >> i hope someone makes a call. let's call it in. let's get this person -- get justice for the girls and get this person off the street. >> reporter: and the reward for information in this case is up to $230,000. investigators say they've already received more than 150 new tips since releasing this sketch. george. >> okay, alex, thanks very much. that's why the families aren't giving up hope. let's go back to ginger.

article that he's keeping at least six women under so-called cult-like conditions in his luxurious homes in chicago and atlanta. >> my daughter is severely brainwashed. >> reporter: the parents of one of those women coming forward in a press conference monday. they claim they met the famous singer and producer in 2015, kelly offering to help their then-19-year-old daughter break into the business, but they say once she started spending time alone with him, she changed. not seeing them since december of 2016 and only communicating in a few short texts. >> my daughter is being held against her will. >> she is brainwashed to the point where she says anything that he asks her to say. >> reporter: timothy and john jalen savage filing this december 2016 police report in georgia obtained by abc news saying they believe their daughter is a part of the r. kelly cult and that she is stuck and in trouble. >> i know about the history of groupie culture. this is not that. i think it's very, very

different by an order of magnitude and an order of the disturbing allegations that our sources have made to us at buzzfeed. >> reporter: this woman claims she was a member of r. kelly's entourage and saw the singer exercise dominating control over women. >> permission to shower -- to shower, to eat. permission to go from one room to the next. he really manipulates your mind because of who he is and his fame. >> reporter: r. kelly's attorney telling us in a statement, mr. kelly is both alarmed and disturbed at the recent revelations attributed to him and mr. kelly unequivocally denies such allegations. after the savages filed another police report this january in illinois, officers did do a wellness check on their daughter speaking with her at kelly's chicago recording studio. they say she told them she was fine and just didn't want to be bothered with her parents and police say she appeared to be in good physical health. overnight, the woman telling tmz she is fine and is not being held against her will. >> i am in a happy place with my

life and i'm not being brainwashed. >> reporter: still, her parents say they just aren't buying it. >> we just want him to release her and let her go on with her life. >> reporter: and meanwhile, those parents say they are working with the fbi and local police departments and that they plan to present more evidence to support their claims in the coming days. r. kelly is no stranger to salacious allegations involving some women and underage girls. he was acquitted of child porn charges in 2008 but his attorney says the singer will work diligently and forcibly to pursue his accusers and clear his name after these most recent claims. >> and gio, absent new evidence there's not much the police can do here, right? these women are all adults. >> that's right. the police say, they're adults. they're consenting to this. it's their choice. >> okay, gio, thanks very much. all right. coming up, we have new accusations against that young man found at sea after his boat sank. his mother still missing. why his family is now trying to block him from inheriting millions. makes it hard to brea.

we are back now with that new twist in the story making national headlines involving nathan carman, a young man rescued at sea after his boat sank. but his mother is still missing. officials calling that incident suspicious. now, nathan is facing new accusations in a legal battle over a multimillion-dollar estate. abc's linzie janis has been

covering this from the very beginning. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: nathan carman has not been charged with any crime but his aunts say they believe he is responsible for his mother's death and say there is evidence he murdered his grandfather years earlier. they're asking a civil court judge to declare him a murderer so he can't collect his inheritance. this morning, the family of nathan carman who was rescued after being lost at sea for more than a week is trying to stop him from inheriting millions of dollars from his missing mother and murdered grandfather. attorneys for carman's three aunts filing a petition alleging their nephew was the last to see both family members alive. asking a civil court judge to invoke the slayer rule, prohibiting a person from inheriting money from someone they killed. >> the family is alleging that the evidence indicates that nathan carman killed john chakalos and nathan should not profit from his actions. >> reporter: nathan has not been charged with any crime and

he denies any involvement in the 2013 killing of his wealthy grandfather, john chakalos. >> i had absolutely no involvement in my grandfather's murder. >> reporter: at the time, investigators considering carman their chief suspect. a search warrant pointing to a gun they say he purchased but was never recovered. the same type as the murder weapon. as for his mother linda, nathan says they were nearly 100 miles offshore last september when their boat began taking on water. telling us, it sank so quickly, he didn't have time to make a mayday call. >> i got on board the life raft and was looking around and i was calling out to my mom. i did not see or hear my mom. >> reporter: within hours of his dramatic rescue by a chinese freighter, police once again not buying his story. searching his vermont home for evidence. he deliberately sank the boat. multiple law enforcement agencies are still investigating the disappearance of linda

carman and the murder of john chakalos. we reached out to nathan's lawyer but have not heard back. last year his lawyer told me nathan is innocent and nathan is expected to inherit $7 million to $8 million. robin. >> linzie, i remember that hour that you did for "20/20," absolutely riveting about this. we bring in abc news chief legal analyst dan abrams. an insurance company denied him benefits, what's the case here? >> in the insurance case what they said he made changes to the boat intentionally, right before they went out to sea, that made the boat less safe. they said that those intentional acts by him meant that they shouldn't have to pay any insurance benefits. but they didn't say he killed his mother or he killed his grandfather. here, you have the family members going a step further and saying we believe he killed his mother, he killed his grandfather, and as a result shouldn't be able to get any of those inheritance dollars that he would ordinarily be entitled

to. >> tell us how a civil court works. >> this is in probate court. unlike in a criminal case where you have to prove something beyond a reasonable doubt. here they have to prove it's more likely than not and there are these statutes in place in a lot of states. actually don't have one in new hampshire, but in most states basically says, if you're the one who took someone's life, you can't then benefit when it comes to an estate. and so what they're saying here is basically the case law in new hampshire makes it clear that in a case like this, if they can prove that it's more likely than not that he killed his mother, killed his grandfather, he shouldn't be able to get the benefit of the grandfather's estate. >> as i said i remember watching linzie's piece and she spent a lot of time with nathan and really got into the whole re-create, this, that and the other, and the family feels there's such compelling evidence. you would think if there is all this evidence, he hasn't been

charged with anything. >> it's a great question and the answer is this goes back to the difference in a legal standard. right. in a criminal case the government has to be convinced it can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed a murder. in this case all they have to prove is that it's more likely than not. if he is found responsible in this case, he doesn't go to jail, he doesn't go to prison, he just loses his inheritance. so the stakes are very, very different and it's a super interesting legal case, as well. >> all right, thank you, dan. >> thanks, guys. coming up on our big board, rob lowe's close encounter with great white sharks. you see it right there. all caught on camera.

florida, where shark expert dr. stephen kajiura joins us right now. thank you for joining us this morning. this just can't be a good idea. >> yeah, in general, it's never really a good idea to go provoking wildlife. don't poke the bear, so to speak. but, on the other hand, these are not particularly the big sharks and so as a result, they're feeding primarily on fish and their shape reflects that. they don't shift to a marine mammal dive until they're much bigger and teeth become big, broad, serrated teeth. but, generally, yeah, you don't want to bother them. just because they're small doesn't mean there isn't a big one. >> what constitutes a small shark? to me a shark is a shark is a hark. rob said he's comfortable out on his board, very comfortable on the water. not everybody is. so, if you find yourself in a situation like that, what should you do? >> well, sure, if you're out there paddleboarding around and you happen to see a white shark or a big shark in the water, the first thing you should do

is say, wow, i'm lucky to get a chance to see it and enjoy the fact that you're experiencing it. and then the next thing you should do is a, it would be prudent to go in at this point. these are big animals and they're wildlife. they can do whatever they want and might very well come along and knock you off your board incidentally as they're investigating and might be unpleasant for you all around. >> unpleasant? i think that's right. but we have been seeing, you know, more shark sightings, it seems like, on both coasts. >> right, and i think that's a really good sign. it's indicative of a healthy ecosystem when you have a large number of these top level predators. and so seeing large numbers of sharks means that the ecosystem is rebounding. we're building healthy populations again, so let's view that as a positive and not a detriment at all. >> and you say that if we should happen upon one we should go how lucky are we. why do you say that? what is it about the great white that fascinates you? >> well, i think what's

interesting is these are top level predators and so there's not very many of them out there. if you went out to the beach and you saw a little bait fish you'd say, wow, i don't care. there's millions of them. but when there's only a handful of white sharks out there and you see one you should consider yourself winning the lottery. you got to see it in its natural habitat and i think that's a really positive boost for you. >> that is one way of looking at it. we will give you that. hey, good doctor, thank you very much. appreciate it and your passion. >> my pleasure. >> you got it. coming up, one woman's inspiring transformation from body builder to body lover. how gaining 25 pounds made her happier than ever before. and are probiotics the cure to your stomach trouble or are they just a fad? our health expert has the answers for you so come on back. our health expert has the answers for you so come on back. i was active. then the chronic, widespread pain drained my energy. my doctor said moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain.

good morning, america. it's 8:00 a.m. breaking overnight, a fatal blow to the republican effort to repeal and replace obamacare. two more republican senators announced their opposition. the president is now calling for the gop to repeal obamacare and start over. deadly shooting. brand-new details about what happened to that bride-to-be killed after calling 911 for help. her heartbroken fiance and family demanding answers this morning. fight for baby charlie. a u.s. doctor examining him is revealing his findings this morning as charlie's parents keep fighting for mr. treatment for their little boy. not your typical transformation. the young body builder who said she didn't love herself enough going from this to this. why she says she's now healthier and happier than ever before. her message resonating coast to coast this morning.

and kyra, kevin, the hollywood couple here live together. >> and they're here to say -- >> both: good morning, america. good morning, america. a lot of nice-looking people up there this morning. >> very much so and we've got an incredible transformation story for you coming up. a former body builder, her message is being shared by many. revealing how gaining, gaining 25 pounds made her happier than ever. >> she does look healthy. we'll talk to her later coming up. first, top story in our morning rundown. the republican plan to repeal and replace obamacare collapsed overnight. two more conservative senators came out against it. that means republicans fail to make good on a seven-year promise. it's a major blow to president trump and our congressional correspondent mary bruce has the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is a devastating blow to republicans and their promise to overhaul obamacare.

overnight leader mitch mcconnell conceded defeat saying it's clear their effort to repeal and immediately replace obamacare will not be successful. two more republicans now say they cannot support this bill which means it doesn't have enough votes to pass. so what comes next? well, the president says they should move to repeal now and work on a new plan to replace it and leader mcconnell seems to agree. he plans to move to a vote on a straight repeal which would then take effect later. but, robin, with health care coverage for millions of americans potentially hanging in the balance, this is going to be another big uphill battle. >> that it will be, all right, mary. next in our morning rundown, new details about that fatal police shooting of a bride-to-be in minneapolis. as her family demands answers. we have learned the officer identified as the shooter has faced complaints in the past. let's go back to linsey davis who's there in minneapolis with new reporting. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the medical examiner is ruling justine damond's death a homicide from a gunshot to the

abdomen but now her fiance wants to know just what led up to the death of the woman that he was planning to marry in just a few weeks. the 40-year-old called 911 at 11:28 saturday night to report a possible assault in an alley behind her house. just four minutes later officers on the scene reported they had opened fire. now, there is no dash cam video of the incident and both of the officers' body cams were turned off. the officer has been identified as mohamed noor, a two-year veteran of the force. he has had three complaints filed against him, two are still open. now, noor and his partner are both on administrative leave. investigators say that there were no weapons found at the scene with the exception of the officer's gun. george. >> it is a head scratcher. linsey, thanks very much. we move on to the legal battle to save charlie gard. he is the british baby with a rare genetic condition at the center of a life support controversy. his parents are fighting for the right to seek treatment overseas and an american doctor has

now examined charlie to see if that might work. james longman is in london with the latest. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, george. today a meeting between all those involved in charlie's care could well decide his fate. the u.s. specialist dr. michio hirano has assessed charlie. he spent four hours doing that and been able to discuss his findings with doctors here at the great ormond children's hospital. it's the first time visitors doctors have been able to discuss the case after properly examining him. they're able to do that because they've been given honoree status, full access to his medical records and scans. involved in the meeting is connie yates, his mother, here to hear all the competing arguments and then it's also charlie has an incredibly rare genetic disease and his doctors here say he should be allowed to die. his parents have disagreed. they'll hope that professor hirano will be able to provide the proof that is needed in order to get charlie over to the united states. so, the next stage is that all this competing clinical evidence

is compiled, sent over to a judge and he's then able we think possibly next week to make his ruling for baby charlie gard. george, robin. >> all right, james. and of course the family wants to do everything they can for their son. coming up that incredible transformation. this woman saying she went from body builder to body lover gaining 25 pounds. why she's happier than ever. also, did kate just make a big reveal about her hope for more kids? will george and charlotte see a younger brother or sister or was she joking around. we'll talk about that later. what's going on upstairs? we're getting ready for great summer solutions i know you'll love. four outfits out of one sarong, skirt, sash, head scarf. much better than i can do so stay with us. we have a great audience. come on back. turns out things aren't always what you think they are. take guinea pigs. they're not pigs at all, nor are they from guinea. or take this haircut. i may look all business, but look out... .

dales", centered around t male strip club chain. oscar nominee dev patel is in talks to portray steve banerjee the bombay-born immigrant who transformed a dive bar in los angeles into the famous male review. the story gets deep from here. he went on to plead guilty to attempted arson, racketeering, murder for hire. and ben stiller is also going to be in the film. nick de noia is his name. a real-life emmy winning producer of children's shows turned choreographer for the male dancers. you can't make this up, who unfortunately was later murdered. the story is really deep, really dark. >> it's all true. >> it's all true and "variety" says it's been in the making for 20 years. passionate filmmaker behind it, great filmmaker behind it. it will explore greed in the 1980s. that casting sounds fantastic. >> yeah. >> big article in "variety" about that. stay tuned. hopefully he'll come on the show and talk about it. also lots of baby news coming out of hollywood this morning. congratulations in order for mindy kaling who is pregnant.

[ cheers and applause ] i know.

we should have thought of that, robin. after a ten-year break and tlc is giving all of you guys, all of you guys a chance to be on the show. they're giving the show a stroke of fresh paint with a new cast and a newly announced casting call for folks who want to trade spaces so if you're interested, applicants should be next-door neighbors with a familiar relationship. you have to actually like each other. you can't want to redo each other's houses and trash it. please. just a reminder in the original show homeowners have no say over the changes that are made by their neighbors. robin, give me those keys, baby. give me those keys. >> i trust you. you wouldn't want me -- >> oh, yes, i would. >> no, no, no. she's fabulous. >> thank you, thank you. i think it's great though. you guys have the chance to be on the show if you want with your neighbors. you have a 48-hour deadline to refinish -- to finish the remodeling with the help of of course designers and carpenters and only a $1,000

budget. tlc has not announced though if these conditions still stand. the show was a classic, and where is paige davis? successful in theater. i do not think she's coming back. we were looking online and didn't see any word of that. no word yet -- remember her cute hair. i copied her haircut. very excited, tlc, that you're bringing that back and, guys, apply. get a makeover. for better or worse.

[ applause ] >> i loved that little flip that

she had going on. >> although it didn't work so well on me. >> not so much. we'll turn to our "gma" cover story, incredible body positive message getting shared more than a thousand times. 100,000 times on facebook. former body builder going viral revealing how not obsessing over a six-pack made her so much happier. here is her story. body builder to body lover is how jolene jones, age 26, began her facebook posts with these atypical before and after photos. the first from 2015 as a competitive body builder. the after from just two weeks ago after on purpose giving up her grueling gym regimen. >> i felt like i needed to love myself a little more and i wanted to encourage others to love themselves also. >> reporter: her body acceptance message went viral and received thousands of positive comments. many applauding her beauty and bravery. jolene who lives in montana started bodybuilding five years ago after peers told her she had too much cellulite.

when she was competing a typical day included meal prepping and counting calories. >> i was never enough. that's how i felt. i felt like i was never enough. >> reporter: after becoming sick a year ago she gained 25 pounds and once she recovered, her coach told her she had to lose 30 pounds in order to compete again. that's when she had a revelation. >> i realized that i didn't enjoy it anymore. and i was just going through the motions. i wasn't pushing myself anymore. i was just doing it to do it. >> reporter: she now loves her body instead of hating and obsessing over it and exercises and eats for enjoyment. >> i let myself go from being controlled by something that's not even tangible, it's all in my head. >> reporter: she now wants to inspire others. >> start thanking your body because when i started to thank mine, it made the difference. [ applause ] >> i love that. joining us now is leslie

goldman. leslie is a body image expert and the author of "locker room diaries: the naked truth about women, body image and reimaging the perfect body." thank you. i love that title. it's such a conversation for men and women, especially women, but these types of stories, they seem to really be resonating, leslie. >> yes, i think women are hungry right now for images like this. i think collectively we are sick of being told that we are not good enough the way that we look and so as a result when we see images like jolene's, these kind of raw, unfiltered images of women looking happy and healthy and, yes, having a roll or a stretch mark or cellulite or see the images now we have more diversity in shape and beauty and magazines and in ad, i think that we feel happy and vindicated. >> i don't know how it is for guys. i mean, for women, i can remember being young and somebody commenting about my body. >> yes.

>> and it stays with you. >> i think -- >> from an early age as women, as girls, it's talked about. >> i think from -- i think we all can remember the first time someone commented or -- >> do you remember? >> i do. i remember when i was in grade school someone, a boy calling me a cow. >> a cow? >> a cow, yes. >> in the fourth grade? >> in the fourth grade and who knows what he meant, you know but i think we all remember that time and whether it leads to an eating disorder or what jolene was going through or whether it doesn't affect you, i think it depends on a variety of factors. >> i'm so appreciative of jolene sharing her story as she has and she talked about how she realizes -- she appreciates her body for what it is and all that it does for her. >> sure. >> what are other ways that we can look at our body and change our mind-set? >> so, i think one thing to keep in mind is, remember, when you look on social media, everything is -- it's heavily curated by whoever is posting it. >> and filtered. >> and photoshopped and air-brushed. remember, nothing you see is

that real. people aren't posting their first photo. they're posting their fifth or 50th and people want to see real images. i mean actually the cover of "women's health" magazine this month has a woman named emily skye who is a top finance influencer and has amassed 13 million followers by posting pose versus unposed pictures, pictures of cellulites and zits even though she is this incredible looking woman. >> i follow ashley graham. she is the same way. ashley graham is someone who's beautiful and she says this is who i am and doesn't care, you know, what people say and it's just so uplifting that people, especially women, are going, this is my body and we can have babies and we can run companies and we can do a lot of stuff with these bodies.

queen. >> we heard this -- >> you're very sweet. thank you very much. she will love this. >> her teeth coming in. >> reporter: the duke and duchess spending their day with the president and first lady of poland visiting historical sites, talking with veterans and laying a wreath at the wall of remembrance. >> trying to highlight the links that the uk have with its european allies, going all the way back to the second world war. >> reporter: and with tech entrepreneurs sporting virtual reality goggles gigging at her husband. the pair capping the first day at a glamorous garden party, celebrating the queen's birthday. >> catherine and i are delighted to embark on our first visit to poland. >> reporter: will taking a moment to celebrate the two countries' long-standing

>> it has a probiotic. >> probiotics help to build up that beneficial bacteria and keep the gut healthy. we think that, you know, it may help and barrier against microorganisms that are unhealthy. >> reporter: there is some evidence they help with some respiratory tract infection and fighting bad resistant bacteria in the gut. as for other claims, the marketing might be outpacing the science for others. >> in foods like sauerkraut or miso, there is a fermentation process and in that process the probiotic kind of grows microorganisms, right? then there's some foods where they're actually adding the probiotic to it so it's fortified. >> reporter: lisa wedel, mom of two growing girls regularly puts them in her daily meals.

chocolate, pickles, olives, kimchi, these are the ones that are naturally occurring. over here we see the fortified foods where they've added it in. baby food, pizza dough, i mean, really, oh, my goodness, and then we're also seeing it in waffles. it's everywhere. >> so what could affect the count in foods? >> one of the things we know is that how it's stored might be affected. actually temperature can change the live active microbes, also sugar added sugars, we don't know how that's going to affect it as well so it's very interesting and we also want to know that people, you know, they're consuming it but the research is not there yet. >> not there yet but they're believing it and i drink this just like you. people ask me all the time what is in my glass upstairs. >> right, i love it. i'm a huge fan. >> thank you. we will be right back.

hi. good morning. i'm jessica castro from "abc7 mornings." alexis smith has a quick look at the traffic conditions out there. >> good morning. we do have a problem in the north bay here. we've got some type of a hazardous spill, and it's impacting atherton. so, we have atherton closed in the area around 101 and then the northbound on-ramp to 101 closed as well. we have local chp and police and fire department on scene. walnut creek, southbound 680, heavy but no issues in the area. jessica? >> alexis, thank you. meteorologist mike nicco will

[ cheers and applause ] now his real-life leading lady is directing him. how can that be? all right. how is that going to work? give it up for kyra sedgwick and kevin bacon. [ applause ] look at you two. you're like newlyweds. i'm a new yorker too and i see you around the streets. that's kevin. that's kyra. >> we're really boring. but we are, though. >> you have been together 30

years. >> 29 years in september. >> oh! [ applause ] >> is it great being here in new york and you can kind of be -- >> oh, yeah, totally. i walk around feeling like i'm anonymous most of the time. >> you know, it's most celebrity-friendly place to live, i think, because new yorkers, people sometimes think of new yorkers as kyra said as being rude. they're not rude. they're efficient. they're busy and they just don't really have time, you know. >> hey, kevin, that's all. >> totally like, in their trajectory. they don't care -- >> hey, kev, beep, beep, your last movie, not too good. that kind of stuff. >> let's talk about this movie. "the story of a girl." your first time. >> yeah. >> as a director and i had read you had been reluctant to direct before. what drew you to this. >> yeah, i always said i would never direct. i think i was just scared. i think it was really just fear.

but this is a movie that -- this is a book that i bought called "the story of a girl," young adult novel. in 2007 and i've tried to get it petition as an independent feature for ten years and wasn't able to and when i finally got the opportunity to possibly make it, i was sitting in a meeting with lifetime. i went into lifetime to talk to them about producing projects because i've been producing ever since i was 27 and they said you do you have a passion project? we're looking for female directors and i said "the story of a girl" and i want to direct it and i kind of turned around and said, who said that? was that me and -- >> take that. >> yeah, exactly. and, you know, it was really beyond my wildest dreams. i just had the greatest time. >> well, you've directed kyra, right? >> yes. >> now she's directed you what was that like? >> well -- [ applause ] >> i think -- i don't like to

answer the how do you keep a marriage successful question but i will say one of the things is not to have too many i told you so moments in that would help, yes. >> yep. >> but this is my i told you so moment because i always told her she should direct. >> ah. >> and she didn't really -- [ applause ] you know, she didn't really listen to me and so when she actually did it, not only did she enjoy it, but she was fantastic at it as you'll see from the film and i was like, yeah, i told you so. [ laughter ] >> let's take a little look. >> tommy, can you twitter or whatever it is you do on that thing to all your millions of adoring fans and tell them we're having two for one pizza sale, pepperoni pizza next saturday. need a new marketing strategy. >> new? >> uh-huh. >> catch you on the flip side. >> i'd ask you to do the same but look at this thing. i mean, come on.

it's like a dinosaur. hello. it's for you, the '90s are calling. [ applause ] >> we just saw kevin but this is the whole family is involved. share with everybody. >> you know, that was sort of -- that happened very organically. i mean kevin was always -- i was always hopeful kevin would play this role of michael. >> tough to cast. >> yeah, i know. he's impossible to work with. but you know sosi was not my idea, my daughter on "13 reasons why." she was kind of a -- the idea of my -- of the writer emily lansbury and co-producer said what about her. i said, oh, yeah, of course and she was able to squeeze me in between jobs and then my son travis who has been a musician since he was 12 and has been composing music, he, you know, read the script, said i would love to write a few cues and see what you think and i thought

this is never going to work out because he's never done this before and i thought this is going to be a really uncomfortable situation to have to tell my son no and then the music was so stunning that we, you know, we -- we hired him and he just did an amazing job. it ended up being more than a family affair than i expected. >> both kids in the business. how much is nature and how much is nurture? >> oh, my god, i think so much nature. i'm telling you. i mean they came out who they are. that's the way we -- we feel that way. i mean i know i feel that way and i also -- but i definitely think they're born kind of perfect. you just have to try not to mess them up too much. >> so true. have to let their perfect be their perfect. >> right, exactly. >> you both have made it look so easy in this very difficult industry. as parents, your children wanting to follow in your footsteps in some way, do you find yourself being a little protective or just letting them -- >> yeah, i think we do.

i think certainly in our daughter's case because, you know, she's -- i cast her as a young girl in the first job that she did and i played the father. it was a flashback and she was playing kyra as a little girl and i had to beg her to take off three days off from school anticipate she was like i can't miss that much school. i can't shoot you out in two days, it's got to be three days. she was only 10 years old and -- >> i know. >> this child. >> eventually, you know, she went through a lot of things and was always kind of resistant of it but when she finally decided to come sort of back full circle to be an actress, i think that she -- we probably in other own way had given her a message that maybe it wasn't the best choice for a life, which is a hard message to give when things have worked out so well for her but on the other hand we've also have a lot of rejection and a lot of judgment and there's a lot of stuff that the slippings and arrows and in my son's case,

i mean guitar was his first word. there was no stopping it. like the train left the station for music like there was nothing to do about that. >> i know you jam and you do too, right? >> well -- >> she's a ukulele player. >> i'm so bad. four years ago i think kevin gave me a ukulele and i love it. i love playing it. i'm just not good. >> she sure is. ♪ >> singing there. come on. >> you're singing with us. >> yes, that's right. >> look how cute you are. >> on instagram. >> multitalented. >> that's your son above. >> no, my son is not there. >> i just decided to make it -- >> he's not there. >> you need to check your eyes. >> that's my brother. >> that was an adult male? [ laughter ] sorry. let me tell you, he's going to be thrilled. >> i know. >> mistook him for my son. >> tell him i got him. always here for him. >> thank you, both, for sharing your vast talents.

america," we are just loving the philadelphia zoo and its winter in july exhibit. i've got laura houston and 200 tons of snow. so much to do. >> exactly, exactly. >> but you had a lot more at the zoo. >> we do. right next to us is our friend hamilton only two weeks old and he is an endangered goat so in a week or so he'll be on exhibit. great to visit him and our other babies. we have a baby gorilla, a toddler that is just about a month old and snow in july. a great way to cool down and fantastic babies to come see. >> the philadelphia zoo, the oldest, the first zoo. >> absolutely. >> it's the place to be. i want to tell you right now. >> we are the coolest spot for the summer. >> coolest spot, you guys got to make it. for now that's the big picture. good morning. i'm morning meteorologist from abc7 news mike nicco here to tell you that our ten-hour day

planner's a lot cooler than yesterday. 50s at the coast, 70s along the >> all that brought to you by bush's beans. i'm going to get in the snow, guys. i got to get nice and cooled off. we'll see you soon. thank you, ginger. looking so cute. now we've got some summer solutions for you in this heat. we're saying so long to the old sarong. "good housekeeping" style director lori bergamotto is with me. she's going to show us how to create four looks with one beach wrap. how do you do it, lori? you give us great information. >> all about practicality too, lara. this is as you mentioned not your old sarong. the new way and there are ways to shop for that. three things to look for, the shape, should be rectangular and not square because generally people are longer than they are wider. >> okay. >> that allows you to maneuver the sarong. >> you can buy very reasonably

in a beach towel and throw it in your beach bag and make different looks. we'll show you right now. shall we? >> we shall. >> look number one the cute beach romper. come on out. >> now, the thing i want to tell you, all of these sarongs are the exact same. $50 at cooper & ella. when you see four looks it's like $12.50 a look. >> i can tell you i guarantee you, america, you can find a sarong for even less money than that and make these looks. we've got video showing how you actually do. >> this is a romper as you mentioned. you want to hold this vertically. tie it around your top and then pick up the long swath of fabric through your legs, wrap it around your waist and secure it in the front. this is obviously a very beachy look and want to wear a bathing suit underneath because it's not full coverage but we think she looks fashionable and it's something different. we haven't seen this look on a beach. we've seen people throw it

around their shoulders. this is a way to up the fashion ante. >> very cute. thank you very much. you look great. i like your braid too. next up, we have the high neck summer dress. >> yes. >> i love this one. >> isn't this beautiful on our model yala. let's see the video of you doing it. >> it's really important to see how easy these are. >> that's the thing too. you mentioned earlier it's a great thing to throw in your beach bag. these looks take about ten seconds to do. wrap it around like it's a beach towel. crisscross it over your chest and then secure it around the nape of your neck. >> i can even do that. that looks great. >> you could do all of that. >> does it feel comfortable? do you feel like you could wear it looking great. so that's look number two. >> thank you. >> yala. >> and then this one i know you guys will say, oh, a skirt. that's just putting on, you know, like wrapping like a towel. not when it looks like this. >> we have karen and this is for something like a sunset cocktail. again, we know that you can do this on the beach with a bathing

suit but we wanted to show you a different way to elevate it. what we did is popped on the white shirt, the collar and added gold and straw accessories and the key here is again simplicity. just wrap it around. secure it around the waist. and then you can kind of move the knot to wherever suits your body and your look. >> yeah, i see -- a double knot is never a bad idea if you're wearing it without a bathing suit. >> it never is. >> thank you so much. i love your skirt. again all the same sarong looking four different ways and final big night out on the town. come on out. >> okay -- >> that is the same. >> that is the same sarong. i knew i would get you with one of them. >> i love that. >> this is sam in her tube top and just one sarong. it's important to look for the rectangular shape. all we did is folded it a few different ways and folded it in half. >> looking at the video is important to see because there's a lot of fabric in this sarong. when i'm looking at the model it doesn't look that way. >> important to wrap it like you would a bandage and this

requires one extra accessory, a handy safety pin to make sure that you're securing the fabric both in the back and the front so that we have no wardrobe malfunctions. >> okay, i like it. does it feel secure? >> yes. >> is it tucked into the bra? >> the top pleat is tucked into the cup of her bra so it's nice and secure and adds a little something. >> i'm hearing we should wrap, no pun intended. thank you very much, lori bergamotto. >> thank you for having me. >> four looks in one sarong. find out how to create them all on our website. goodmorningamerica.com. coming up, the stars of "girls trip," regina hall and tiffany haddish with us live.

[ applause ] queen latifah, jada, what was it like for you, you have admired from afar and to be working alongside them. >> girl, i remember trying to get my best friend's sister to get us into the movies because we was too young to be up in there and we would sneak into like -- i remember we snuck -- didn't you do "mali booty." >> to remind you. >> and i remember being like, ooh, i want to work with them. i want them to be my friends. i want to hang out with them and putting it on the goalies and, boom, years later i'm getting the opportunity to work with these women. i used to wake up every woman and be like -- i'm so excited! >> just think about it. >> you know, i think the reason why i enjoyed it so much and the whole theater was cracking up while they were watching it and thinking about people, like

there's some girls trips here. people come here that they're -- >> yeah. >> all girls trip. what is it about it? tell people about the movie. four women who knew each other way back when. life gets in the way and your character brings them back together in new orleans of all places. >> new orleans was great. it was a perfect city. i just, you know, we don't get to see women have fun. we see men have fun. we see women wait at home. we see, you know, there's always an apology when we have fun. when we do something there's -- it's like we're kind of apologiziing for it. these women, there are no apologies. you know. >> we're grown. >> we ready. >> we ready. >> yes. >> we love that and, you know, it's for all women and, you know, we certainly don't get to see african-american women act like this so, you know, but the message and the themes are universal. >> yeah, they 'nate with so many people. you know what, i am just so happy, so happy that you all

four brought this together and it's something that we don't see enough on the screen and the way that you represent and just bring us such joy. thank you. >> thank you.
