calls came about this explosion. an ied, improvised explosive device, on a subway train at the parsons green station, that's a suburb of london here. a lot of commotion there at that station. right now we know that 18 people have been taken to hospitals. no life-threatening injuries as far as we know. this is a very serious incident. as you said, the prime minister called an emergency meeting right now. i've been in touch with 10 downing street. their treating this as a terror incident right now and there's a live man hunt going on across london right now for whoever may have done this. now, president trump is already up and tweeting about this and said there's another attack in london by a loser terrorist. these are sick and demented people in the sights of scotland yard. must be proactive. i have to say we have not confirmed from scotland yard that they know who did this, but as i said, they are actively searching now for whoever may have done this here in london. i want to go on the scene now to ian pannell at the parsons green station. >> reporter: george, it's incredible. here we are reporting on yet another terrorist attack in the

uk. this is the sixth attack that's taken place here underlying the level of threat that people in the uk are now having to live with. not just here but also in continental europe. the subway station is just down the road here probably about 300 or 400 yards. this is parsons green. a genteel very upper class part of london. the kind of area where people who have lots of money tend to live. the time that it took place, there were people taking children to school. the subway was packed and then disaster happened. two passengers fleeing in panic this morning. >> still shocked. i'm shaking but just trying to calm down. >> reporter: after this bucket exploded on a packed rush hour train in the heart of london. emergency responders rushed to the parsons green subway station where witnesses say people were crying, screaming, knocking each other over trying to get out. >> i just saw people running and i just ran as well. >> just hordes of people and the

stampede started running towards me within about five seconds. it was just apparent it was -- yeah, not a safe place to be and then as the doors opened people were running down the platform, down the stairs. >> reporter: flames from the bucket causing numerous burns to passengers. >> the smell of like plastic burning, like clothing. >> reporter: law enforcement spotted racing down the tracks as rescue crews worked for hours evacuating people from the train. this video shows the bucket in flames after the train emptied. the terror threat in the uk has been at its highest possible level after several terrorist attacks in recent months. in june eight people were killed and 48 injured after an attack on london bridge and the borough market. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: 22 concertgoers murdered at this ariana grande concert in manchester and five killed in march after a vehicle attack at westminster.

well, as we said, this is the sixth terrorist incident. there is a live investigation under way and what we know at the moment is that we don't think they've apprehended a suspect and that this was an improvised explosive device. one small piece of good news, it wasn't as bad as people thought it could have been and so the injuries weren't so bad. the police are coming through so we need to move now. george. >> okay, ian, thanks very much. i'm actually here with two people who were on the train this morning. martin adam is with me and sally faulding. martin, you were on the carriage where the explosion took place? >> that's correct, yeah. it took place ten meters behind me. i stood by the door. glass partition behind me. heard a loud bang and then as i looked to the right there was the flame, fireball came through the carriage. >> through the whole carriage? >> not the whole carriage but level to where i was but as the doors opened people then began leaving the train. >> i can imagine. you were not in that car but you were close by. what could you see and what could you hear?

>> i couldn't see or hear anything. i just saw from my peripheral vision people panicking and running and screaming and shouting and i knew that something had taken place. the doors were just starting to open at the station. so i -- i ran like anybody else did. >> did you see any injured people? >> injured? i did on the platform. obviously not on the train because we were just pulling into the station and i think most people managed to get out but clearly visible people injured on the platform as a couple of people with burns, one lady had her hair singed by the fire though she was okay. so, yes, i also saw people injured obviously from having been stampeded on on the platform because we were all running, people falling over. people falling in front of me. i stumbled also and managed to get myself up because my concern was to not be on the floor because it was a stampede behind me, as well. >> how long did this take? >> just looking back probably

minutes in terms of it happening. i think we were quite fortunate in that we were pulling into the station and when i saw people running towards me, i immediately got up. the doors were open at the most opportune time so we were able to evacuate. >> martin, you're actually a security expert. how would you assess how people handled it? >> generally i thought people dealt with it quite well and exited the train very, very quickly onto the platform and moved away. i went back to look in the carriage, see if there were my people but there was nobody left in the train. >> did you actually see the device or what was left of it? >> i saw some flames coming from i thought was a blue bag but i think it was behind that but there were no people around so i assessed that it wasn't a traumatic event. >> thank goodness as far as we know right now no life-threatening injuries and both of you are okay. >> thank god. >> thanks for sharing your

story. back to robin. >> okay, we'll get back to you, george, in just a moment but our chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with us, and brian, you have been in touch with your intelligence sources. what are they telling you? >> british counterintelligence sources, robin, this morning are saying this was a very crude device, some of the best evidence may be found in the remnants of the bomb but they call this bucket bomb a rather crude device, kind of an amateur issue. they didn't use a pressure cooker which is often used by isis, that's how they describe for their followers what kind of bomb to use but the fact that they have the bomb and remnants will lead to lots of evidence for them, lots of forensic details. >> brian, we know that british authorities are treating this as a terrorist attack but has any group claimed responsibility yet? >> so far, i mean, no claims of responsibility. in britain there are some 500 active investigations under way right now and some 3,000 people are considered to be on the terror watch list so there are lots of people to look for and there is some concern that the bomber in this case may have been somebody who was injured. they're looking closely at those injured.

>> all of us here at the desk have been talking about the number of attacks in a relatively short amount of time. >> exactly. as ian described all of those on the two bridges in london and concert in manchester and an attack on muslim worshippers, a serious situation and at this point the threat level in britain remains at severe, one step below critical. >> we know you'll stay on top of this but let's go back to george in london. >> guys, we've been saying the prime minister will hold that emergency meeting here at 10 downing street in london and as brian just said, london has been on the highest state of alert -- the entire u.k. has been on the highest state of alert for months but i have to tell you, it's one of these dichotomies of modern life, the highest state of alert. emergency meetings at 10 downing street, the rest of the city, everyone is in the great british tradition of keeping calm and carrying on. >> it does seem that way. thank you so much, george.

we are following those breaking new details about north korea's missile launch. kim jong-un's regime firing what's believed to be an intermediate range ballistic missile over japanese air space for the second time in a month and now an emergency u.n. meeting has been called and martha raddatz has all the latest developments from d.c. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning. it is clear this morning that neither condemnation, threats of force or sanctions are stopping kim jong-un in his quest to perfect a nuclear missile program. alarms blaring in japan. as north korea launched yet another missile over japanese territory. for the second time in a month. another extreme provocation by north korean dictator kim jong-un. the intermediate range ballistic missile launched from the north korean capital of pyongyang, passing over japan just ten minutes later landing over 1,200 miles off the coast of the japanese island of hokkaido traveling a total distance of

2,300 miles. american tourist matt galat staying in hokkaido was awoken by the deafening sirens. >> find shelter in a basement, north korea just launched a missile. >> reporter: the south korean military responding immediately launching its own missile 150 miles into the sea of japan, a precise show of force meant to warn kim jong-un that south korea can target him directly. secretary of defense james mattis saying the launch put millions of japanese in duck and cover and secretary of state rex tillerson calling on china and russia to take direct actions of their own. this is the 14th time north korea has launched ballistic missiles this year. the fifth since the start of july. on thursday president trump trying to reassure americans in the face of the north korean threat saying he is working with

china. >> we have a very good relationship with china and with the president of china but, believe me, the people of this country will be very, very safe. >> reporter: but it is unclear what will stop this cycle of provocation and threat. this latest launch comes just three days after new sanctions and less than two weeks after north korea tested what is likely a hydrogen bomb that the country says could be placed on an intercontinental ballistic missile. amy. >> martha raddatz, thank you. let's bring in our military analyst colonel steve ganyard, and steve, let's talk about the why, why north korea is defiantly testing another missile. you say there are two factors. >> amy, a couple of things we need to think about. one is the political so think about just three days ago these harsher u.n. sanctions were imposed. north korea always feels like they have to respond to things like this. the other is sort of a science and engineering project so this missile they tested has not been terribly reliable in the past so they need to continue to test,

continue to improve the reliability because reliability is the key to the credibility of their threat. >> and, colonel ganyard, there is then north korea's rhetoric talking about nuclear war, sinking japan, reducing the united states to ashes. what's their goal with all of that? >> well, it certainly is concerning. we always expect fiery rhetoric out of north korea but this is particularly harsh in the past couple of days. hard to tell whether this is because the sanctions are beginning to bite because they're feeling their back is up against the wall or they're feeling more confident after their recent hydrogen bomb test. >> steve, we know the u.n. security council has scheduled that emergency meeting for later today. do you expect anything actionable to come out of that? >> i don't, amy. i think we should have modest expectations there. china and russia will always veto any kind of sanctions that might have real bite against north korea. even president trump said this week that those sanctions were, quote, no big deal.

he also ominously said that this is going to be something that the sanctions will be nothing compared to what will eventually have to happen. all this, amy, as intelligence experts are now seeing new preparations for an underground nuclear test. >> all right. colonel steve ganyard, thank you very much. michael. >> thank you, amy. >> we turn now to the latest on tropical storm jose. strengthening in the atlantic on the verge of becoming a hurricane again. ginger zee is tracking that system. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, michael. jose looking a little healthier on the satellite this morning, far north and east of the bahamas and headed northwest so we have to watch it carefully because of that high pressure system. that bermuda high that we always watch, the steering as far as how close this is going to get to the united states. pay very close attention to the cone because now that includes massachusetts, rhode island, part of connecticut, new jersey, new york, you can see delaware and even part of maryland. i can tell you we'll have very high waves up to 11 feet and beach erosion, maybe even some rain and wind by next midweek. robin.

>> okay, don't have to tell you florida still feeling effects of hurricane irma. president trump and the first lady touring the damage there thursday meeting with people affected by the storm and the president is edging closer to striking a deal with congress to protect the d.r.e.a.m.ers. undocumented immigrants who came here as children and still facing confusion and fallout over that dinner with democratic leaders at the white house. our congressional correspondent mary bruce is at the white house with more. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. well, one thing is clear the president wants to allow d.r.e.a.m.ers to stay in the u.s. but the big question remains, how? what exactly is the plan? lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are scrambling to decipher mixed messages coming from here at the white house. this morning they want details. this morning, the president insists a deal is in the works to protect d.r.e.a.m.ers. >> we're working on a deal for daca. >> reporter: for the second time this month the president's negotiating with democrats. in florida thursday to survey the damage of hurricane irma.

the president handed out sandwiches. and took selfies. but he's not offering many details on his new deal. what we do know, the president says he wants to allow d.r.e.a.m.ers to legally stay in the u.s. and beef up border security. what he's not insisting on in the deal -- >> we're going to build the wall. >> reporter: -- funding for his border wall. >> daca now and the wall very soon. the wall will happen. >> reporter: that's a tough sell for some conservatives. iowa's steve king says the deal means trump's base is blown up, destroyed, irreparable and disillusioned beyond repair. but other republicans who support immigration reform are praising the president for getting the ball rolling. >> all i can say is there's a deal to be made. i'm glad president trump is working with democrats, democrats will work with us here. >> reporter: and what about a pathway to citizenship? democrats say it's on the table. >> you have no doubt you and the president are on the same panel here. >> we agreed on our path. there is an understanding that

down the road there is an eventual path to citizenship. >> reporter: but the president says not so fast. >> we're not looking at citizenship. we're not looking at amnesty. >> reporter: as lawmakers scramble for details republican leaders are reminding the president the buck stops with them. >> i think he understands he has to work with the congressional majority to get any legislative solution. >> reporter: democratic leaders are gloating thinking they're close to a deal but republicans hold the cards here. many i've talked to say the real question is whether democrats will be able to get on board with the more conservative solution. robin. >> that is the question, mary. thank you. now back to ginger with those fires out west. >> robin, a new number, 2 billion. that's $2 billion that have been spent already this wildfire season on fighting the fires. that's the most ever in recorded history. you can see here looking at the cockpit over the sequoia national forest. this one more than 31,000 acres burned but they've got it 70% contained. and there has been some good

officials here in london. the prime minister is holding an emergency meeting of her counter terror group in the next hour and will be meeting with everyone. as you know, london, the united kingdom on the highest state of alert over the last year. several different terrorist attacks over the last year. president trump has weighed in as well saying this was the act of a loser terrorist. also saying that these people were in the sights of scotland yard. we have no confirmation that scotland yard knows who's done this. in fact, they have asked every citizen in london now if they have any information on this, if they have any photos from the scene that might help them figure out who did this. they need that information right now. a live manhunt right now across london for whoever carried out this terrorist incident, again, this morning. we're going to stay on it all morning long in london but now back to you. >> before you go it was like you were saying earlier and we can't help but see you it's business as usual there in london. >> for the rest of london that's right.

the police are on the highest alert. the prime minister is on the highest state of alert right now but we're a couple of miles from the station. you'd never know it right here by westminster. doesn't appear to be a lot of added security on the scene. doesn't appear to have disrupted the rest of life and actually a gorgeous day here. >> george, thanks so much. you know what, we're also learning that new york is stepping up security on our subways in the wake of the terror attack and that's what we see oftentimes. we're going to turn now to those new revelations about that murder case. a pregnant schoolteacher found dead, her boyfriend now behind bars facing charges, just days after his emotional plea for her safe return, abc's linsey davis is here with those details for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, you know it sounds like a lifetime movie but this is real life unfolding in montgomery county, maryland this week. a mother-to-be recently named teacher of the year reported missing after missing the first day of school, now police say she was murdered because of a love triangle.

this morning, tyler tessier is behind bars charged with the murder of his pregnant girlfriend laura wallen just days after making a tearful plea for her safe return. >> laura, if you're listening, it doesn't matter what type of trouble. there's nothing we can't fix together. >> reporter: police arrested tessier wednesday after finding the 31-year-old high school teacher's body buried in a shallow grave in a field in maryland. >> an autopsy was done on the victim's body and it was determined she had, in fact, been shot in the back of the head. >> reporter: after becoming suspicious of him, police say they set up this press conference hoping they would learn new information when he spoke. >> i haven't slept. we haven't eaten. we're just looking or praying that you're safe. >> reporter: wallen's family agreed to the setup sitting next to him even holding his hand while they wiped away tears but tessier had no idea. >> he is a monster and he is a liar and it is -- it was

absolutely the hardest thing that my wife could do would be to sit next to him and hold his hand. >> reporter: you put the suspect in front of a camera because he's going to talk and he may inadvertently say something or present something in a way that you know is not true. >> reporter: the day she disappeared police say wallen who was four months pregnant sent her sister a series of text messages saying tyler has me on an adventure in the country. don't know why i'm here and i'm waiting in a field. two days later wallen's sister received another text message from the victim's phone, i am like 95% sure tyler is not the father. but by then police believe wallen was already dead and that it was tessier who sent the text. prosecutors say at first tessier denied he was engaged to another woman but later admitted it. according to police the week before she disappeared she texted the other woman and wanted to talk to her woman to woman, not for a confrontation but to clear things up. tessier is now being held without bond and, robin, can you

imagine that family having to hold the man's hand that police say killed your child? >> i was just thinking that, linsey. we're going to bring in our legal team, our chief legal analyst dan abrams and in atlanta veteran felony prosecutor nancy grace. and let me start right with what linsey was saying. i can't imagine what the family went through but they suspected him and they wanted to do whatever they could to help police. have you ever heard anything like that? >> no. the police effectively lure him there to the press conference. i say lure him because he was already their suspect. they already had the evidence against him and now they want to add to that evidence. how are they adding to it? well, if you believe the police's theory that he did this and he stands up there and pretends to be so heartbroken and he holds the hand of the mother, you can now introduce, you know -- >> you know what, you're killing me abrams. you really are. interesting that you use -- first, good morning, robin. >> good morning. >> dan, it's interesting you use the word the police lured him there like they did something evil.

what about him luring her to a remote field and then shooting her in the back of the head and burying her in a shallow grave. why? because he doesn't want his other girlfriend to find out he's about to have a baby? and, hello, next time you send a fake text from your girlfriend's phone, at least spell the other guy's name right. he couldn't even spell the word antwan as if this guy is some kind of a catch. the evidence is overwhelming. police lured? no, he lured her there. you know another thing, robin, when she was texting her sister going, wow, tyler has me on an adventure, i wonder why i'm here, some speculate she thought he was about to propose to her. >> oh, my. there's several reasons why the police would be suspicious, the fact he was living with another woman was a huge red flag, nancy. >> huge red flag.

there are reports he was living at three different places. don't know if that third place was a family or a roommate but two women are definitely involved. a, the murder victim didn't know he was living with the other woman. the other woman who has been named didn't know that she, laura, was pregnant but one thing a student said she is a social studies teacher, teacher of the year, the student mentioned -- the student was sad mentioned he liked skateboarding and she showed up at his house on a weekend with a skateboard and went skateboarding with him up and down his street. that's the kind of teacher she was. >> this teacher also helped them find who was responsible because she sent a picture from where she was to her sister. >> she sure did. >> because she had said to her sister, hey, i'm in this remote area sort of saying to her sister, i really don't know what he's doing, why i'm here, and her sister said send me a picture. she sends her sister a picture.

that becomes a critical piece of evidence in connection with this case. also, he made a lot of apparently incriminating statements. he apparently admits to disposing of her iphone, getting rid of her license and the license plate on her car. there's a whole series of pieces of evidence that extend well beyond just having an affair with somebody else. >> could he possibly be charged with double murder because she was pregnant? >> probably not in the state of maryland. >> that's a good question. >> because she was four months pregnant. it would have to be deemed it to be a viable fetus in the state of maryland. in the state of maryland probably just get the single murder charge. >> i think that's what's taking so long with the autopsy. in some places it can be 16 weeks but typically in the u.s. it's 20 weeks. >> as always, nancy, thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you, robin. >> dan, always good to see you as well. let's go back over to michael now. thank you, robin. coming up, the fraternity death in the hazing investigation now under way at a major university. ing investigation now under way at a major university.

back now with that fraternity death at louisiana state university. a hazing investigation is under way after a freshman has died. t.j. holmes is here with the story. good morning, t.j. >> strahan, the school year just started and this 18-year-old freshman got to be a college freshman for 24 days. now he's dead. now, the college didn't just go after the fraternity involved. they shut them all down for now. this morning, all fraternities and sororities temporarily shut

down at louisiana state university as police investigate the death of 18-year-old freshman max gruver. >> we're all devastated by this. >> reporter: authorities are investigating it as a possible hazing incident and say alcohol may have been a factor in the death of the 18-year-old phi delta theta pledge. >> hazing is dangerous, irresponsible and unacceptable and it will not be tolerated at lsu, period. >> reporter: according to the coroner's office he was taken from the chapter's fraternity house and dropped off at a local hospital wednesday night by someone investigators say was not a paramedic. lsu's student newspaper reporting school authorities weren't notified of the incident until noon the next day. >> i want to emphasize this is the evolving situation. we are investigating this matter with the utmost seriousness. >> reporter: the national phi delta theta organization suspended the local chapter writing in a statement, we're committed to investigating this situation thoroughly. the chapter and any individuals who are found to have violated our policies will be held accountable.

the suspension of lsu's greek activities comes as campuses nationwide are taking a tougher stance on alcohol abuse and hazing following high-profile incidents like the death of timothy piazza during an alcohol-fueled beta theta pi ritual at penn state leading to criminal charges for 14 members of his fraternity. the investigation is under way. no arrests have been made and the autopsy on that young man is going to be performed today. >> that's a shame. another avoidable death. >> 18. 18. >> so sad. t.j., thank you. coming up next here on our big board, the incredible way "game of thrones" is trying to keep spoilers from leaking as they now film the final season. >> robach is really happy about this. >> good one, robin. is. >> good one, robin. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do? drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement™, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels.

♪ ♪ just explaining "game of thrones" to michael here. we're back now with our big board and the incredible lengths "game of thrones" is going to go to stop the leaks from their highly anticipated series finale. >> the producers are said to be filming alternate endings of the series so no one, not even the mother of dragons herself or amy robach knows who will end up on the iron throne until the finale airs and abc's nick watt joins us from los angeles with more. good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning, michael. well, it's unclear how many endings they will shoot but the reason is clear. hbo's head of programming says it's so nobody really knows what happens. nobody. so even kit harington will have to sit and watch tv like the rest of us to see if he ends up on the iron throne.

clearly hbo fears leaks, hacks, slip, spoilers. remember back in the summer a hacker leaked some stolen scripts and episodes from other shows and also two "thrones" episodes leaked after slipups overseas and want to protect their finale for their own bottom line and i'd like to think also for the fans like amy for their enjoyment. >> right, i mean i wouldn't want to see anything leaked because i want to watch it as it happens and i really hope khaleesi ends up on the iron throne. just saying. this isn't the first time a tv show has done this, shot multiple endings, and no one knows which one is going to end up airing. >> no, it's happened before. "breaking bad," "walking dead." "sex and the city" and "dallas," remember who shot j.r., they shot sequences of every major character holding the gun so no one would know what to leak. >> when you had "dallas," "dallas" didn't have to worry about the internet. they didn't have to worry about any of these things. looks like they're taking every super precaution and, nick, do

you watch the show? are you a "game of thrones" fan? >> i am not a massive "game of thrones" fan but my guess for the ending would be that all the dead ones were just in the shower and they will come back. you know, there are other things you can do to kind of, you know, hide this. you know, you can make the ending really ambiguous like "the sopranos" and make it complicated like "the leftovers" or this might be a big hoax and actually it's just designed to make us disbelieve any spoilers that do actually leak. before this airs in 2019, guys. 2019. >> i can't believe we have to wait that long. >> that far off? >> yeah, but i will be anticipating it all the way. >> i did catch an episode. you brought me up to speed on it. i appreciate it. thank you. >> so good. catch up. coming up live in london with that breaking news then we'll have latest on selena gomez's health battle and her friend who donated her kidney. dr. ashton is here with that. that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c.

we do say good morning, many america, on this friday morning and what a morning it has been, especially in london after that attack that police are calling the explosion a terrorist incident. it took place during rush hour on a subway train at parsons green station. at least 18 people have been taken to the hospital. a manhunt is now under way and george is there in london with the latest. good morning, george. >> reporter: good morning, robin. another terror attack here in london unfolding at the height of rush hour around 8:20 this morning, the first calls came in to 911 about that explosion at the parsons green subway station, a suburb of london here. a lot of commotion in the station. one witness said they saw a fireball but thank goodness as you said even though 18 people are injured taken to hospitals no one has a life-threatening injury. it's being taken very seriously

by the authorities as a terrorist incident, as you said. the prime minister is holding a meeting right now an emergency meeting with her counter-terrorism advisers at 10 downing street. there is a manhunt across the city of london for whoever did this. ian pannell is on the scene at the parsons green station. ian. >> reporter: george, it seems incredible we're reporting on yet another terrorist attack as i'm talking to you now you can see more police officers are flooding into the area and forensic experts and sniffer dogs heading to the subway station and that's where the attack took place at rush hour this morning. police say an improvised explosive device was planted in this bucket which exploded on a packed rush hour train traveling through the heart of london. >> still shocked. i'm shaking but just trying to calm down. >> reporter: law enforcement calling it an act of terrorism. prime minister theresa may has condemned the attack. >> we do need to ensure that we're dealing with not just a terrorist threat but with the extremism and the hate that can

actually incite that terrorism. that's why we're looking carefully at the powers of police to make sure they have the powers that they need. emergency responders rushed to the parsons green subway station where witnesses say people were crying, screaming, knocking each other over to try to get out of the station. >> i just saw people running and i just ran. >> reporter: flames from the bucket causing numerous burns to passengers. law enforcement spotted racing down the tracks as rescue crews worked for hours evacuating people from the train. this video shows the bucket in flames after the train emptied. >> move down there. >> reporter: the terror threat in the u.k. has been at its highest possible level after several attacks in recent months. donald trump spoke out about the attack just moments ago. >> a terrible thing. just keeps going and going, and we have to be very smart. we have to be very, very tough which perhaps we're not nearly tough enough, but that is just an absolutely terrible thing.

>> reporter: clearly this was a really bad incident but it could have been much worse. the train doors were open when this exploded and we know that it didn't go off as the attacker intended. that's why we're talking about relatively small numbers of injuries. still a hugely important incident being thoroughly investigated across london right now. >> sure is, ian. that's exactly right. president trump has also tweeted on this this morning calling them the loser terrorists and also saying whoever did this is on the sights of scotland yard. we have not confirmed that and as ian reported there's a manhunt going on and police asking for information that might lead them to whoever did this. back to you in new york. >> good to have you there, george.

thanks so right. stay safe. >> that's right. let's bring back brian ross now for new details on that investigation and manhunt going on right now for the terror suspect. brian, what have police learned? >> well, amy, good morning to you. british counterterror officials are telling abc news the remnants of that bucket bomb will likely hold key pieces of evidence to help track down whoever was responsible. it's being described as a crude bomb that did not fully explode. you can see in the pictures a string of christmas tree lights to help detonate the bomb with reports it was connected to some kind of a timer meaning the bomber may have dropped the bomb in the subway then got away. there have been no claims of responsibility by isis or any other terror group and scotland yard is now asking anyone who took photos at the scene to send them in. as you recall photos from spectators at the boston marathon was a key in finding the two bombers in that case. >> they may be looking for the suspect among the injured. >> among the injured as well. yes. >> thank you. and mta here in new york has stepped up security. >> they have as they do standardly in cases like this. >> rightfully so. we'll turn now to a major new lawsuit for women at google claiming gender discrimination saying the company pays men more than women and gives women fewer

opportunities. our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is here with the story. good morning, rebecca. >> good morning, michael. yes. that's right, three women have filed the lawsuit accusing google of discriminating against female employees by systematically paying them lower compensation than google pays to male employees performing substantially similar work. essentially it is saying they're underpaying them denying them promotion opportunities and they want to make it a class action suit covering all women who worked at google within the last four years. and a spokesperson for google telling me they disagree with the central allegations and that the company has extensive systems to place -- to ensure that we pay fairly. the department of labor is also investigating google's hiring practices. this is not the end. we'll continue to hear about this. >> when is this going to stop? >> right, exactly. well, the more people talk about this, the more it's exposed if

it is, in fact happening, the more change we can make. >> we can hope. >> yes, absolutely. >> okay. >> yes, we can. >> all right. thanks, guys. coming up, what selena gomez's best friend who donated her kidney is saying this morning. plus, what you need to know about being a living donor. dr. ashton is here. new details about that royal scare as the woman accused of trying to break into prince george's school gets out on bail. what's the buzz about bubbly water? why sales are soaring for lacroix. i may be contributing to them. >> i know i am. uh-huh. >> i know i am. uh-huh. r. just walk right in and pay zero dollars with most insurance. plus, when you get a flu shot at walgreens, you help provide a lifesaving vaccine to a child in need through the un foundation. it's that easy to get your flu shot and make a difference. so swing by your local walgreens today. walgreens. at the corner of happy & healthy.

to the recipient like a fingerprint key. it's not like just anyone can accept and/or gone. and the donor has to be screened again extensively head to toe so this is all part of the informed consent process. >> so a lot of people are like, i want to donate. i want to do this but they don't know anybody to do it with. >> you're talking about living nondirected donation. it's separate, so in this case the donor does not name the recipient but say i want to give a kidney and have to match that organ for medical compatibility and you're talking about things like in the future is that donor going to know where their organ went. in some cases, yes. in some cases they'll just get a letter saying your kidney has been implanted and doing well. >> how generous to want to do that and not even know who the recipient is. remarkable. >> it's incredible. >> you know, some people -- and we wanted to dispel the myth. they think if you're a celebrity you go straight to the top of the list, someone like selena. that's just not the case. >> short answer, absolutely not. we have unos and candidates are

listed on this registry based on how sick they are. you do not go to the top of the list when you're getting an organ from a deceased donor. people want to know more go to unos, go to donatelife.net. this hits home for me. my late stepmother donated her organs after she died tragically. she saved a lot of people. >> oh, my gosh. thanks for sharing that. that means a lot.

good morning. check out your 12-hour day planner. much cooler this morning. temperatures in the 50s. we'll stay in the 60s at the coast. 60s and 70s around noon for our bay and inland temperatures, 70s this afternoon. gorgeous af >> all right, >> all right, so we are now into our frugal fashionista series and this morning, we've got a resell revolution. secondhand clothing sales skyrocketing, some of the fastest growing outlets are online and abc's paula faris is here with all the details. i love these sites. >> i know you do. it is a revolution for you, lara. buying secondhand is a billion dollar business. there are projections within the next few years sales could amount to more than 30 billion. now, consignment shops are popping up everywhere looking for castoffs. >> who is paying top dollar?

we sold this outfit to three outlets to find out. >> whether it's the thrill of the hunt or chance to score a one of a kind deal, secondhand shopping is more popular than ever. >> it's amazing how many products you can buy that's never been worn. >> and buyers can shop dozens of on-line sites. brick and mortar resellers are expanding too. >> it's a green approach to shopping. >> reporter: dana avidan is the executive style director at popsugar. >> there is a market to be both a buyer and seller. >> in this way you're taking the stuff you're not using anyway and getting cash for it or credit to shop for more stuff. >> reporter: with so many choices we wanted to see what we could make the most. so with her help we set up an experiment looking at three clothing resellers. thredup, tradesy and beacon's closet. >> i was looking for things in a woman's closet if we purchased three brand-new sets of classic items.

kate spade handbag for $179 and crew pumps for $160 and this little black dress from zara for 40 bucks. we'll send them in with the tags on, with the box in brand-new condition. we sent one set to thredup. one of the largest online markets for secondhand clothes. all we had to do was bag our clothes and mail them in. next we posted another set on tradesy. >> you can do the entire experience on mobile. >> reporter: this is a little more work. the app prompts you to take lots of pictures and recommends list prices based in part on retail prices. and then we went to beacon's closet, a resale store that promised cash on the spot. 15 minutes later. >> they didn't take the dress but bought the shoes and they bought the purse and i got all of $25 beacon's payout is based on its policy of paying 30% of its sale price. as for thredup it took all three of our items and paid us

$114.55. but it took nearly two months to process our bag and get paid. for tradesy it took us two months to sell our items, over time we dropped our asking price on the shoes and handbag but in the end tradesy came out on top in our experiment a total of $148.42 after fees. that's nearly six times more than what beacon's closet paid. beacon's closet told us there is no waiting to receive cash or store credit. the same day when sellers come in we buy items outright on the spot. we are happy that the secondhand market is thriving. as for thredup they told us there are places you can earn more money but nowhere that's more convenient. the company has a new policy charging an optional $10 to process your bag within a week. now, tradesy, the company that came out on top says sellers earn more while buyers pay less because of the company's low commissions and something else to keep in mind if you're

selling experts say more current items will fetch you more money so don't hang on to things. i know you're talking about thredup. throw everything in the bag and they do the work for you. >> really wonderful sites. >> you're shopping right now. >> i'm shopping because i'm here with whitney port joining us. >> hi. >> i don't know if you remember, but, hello, celebrity stylist major influencer creator of the youtube series "i love my baby." congrats on your new baby, only 7 weeks old. >> thanks. baby sonny. >> that's a great name. >> hard to leave him at home. >> thank you for doing it for a really good cause. i know you have a special announcement for us in honor of our frugal fashionista segment. >> so i'm here with thredup.com which is an amazing shop you can sell and shop on and i'm selling all these clothes from my closet and all the money is going to every mother counts and an amazing charity it's available now. shop the collection now.

>> the sale is on now. these deals are amazing but you'll also be surprised if you're a seller how much you can make. how much is sitting in your closet. you're selling 50 pieces all proceeds going to this cause. what does every mother counts do. >> so, every mother counts is an amazing charity that helps women who are pregnant or going into labor that don't have the resources they need to have healthy pregnancies or safe labors so really just helps them along. >> so bid high on pieces like this which i have already spotted. how are you able to give up this duty cute denim dress? >> i have to, postpregnancy body is not the same. >> yes, it is. >> no, i mean hopefully it will be. but, no, this is a dress i wore to an event last year and i just love it. but it doesn't necessarily look the same on me as it once did. >> you're ready to part with it. >> i want someone else to take advantage of the cute shape of it. >> it is great. denim is great now. >> i immediately gravitated toward this piece. with boots for the fall.

>> such a great dress. >> i am bidding on this. tell us about this. >> i wore this for my baby shower. >> go ahead, bid against me. we want to raise money? tell me about the piece. how did you wear it? >> to my baby shower, and it transitions as a great wrap dress that goes for any silhouette really for any body shape. >> including lara spencer's. i will be bidding. >> actually -- >> the clothes off your back in yes. >> whitney, than
