>> "big little lies." >> "the handmaid's tale." >> the female driven dramas taking home top honors. >> more great roles for women, please. >> and a record-setting night for julia louis-dreyfus. while diversity -- >> the things that make us different, those are superpowers. >> and politics take center stage. >> this will be the largest audience, period. >> with one big surprise stealing the show. we are backstage with the big winners. >> good morning, america. >> good morning, america. and we do say good morning, america. it was really quite a night at the emmys last night.ers. julia making history with her big win. >> six in a row. the big surprise, of course, sean spicer, there he was rolling out to shock in the audience.

a lot of laughs as well but, boy, it also sparked a very fierce debate online and get into that. >> it did. >> first, we closely watch this double threat in the atlantic. two big storms developing right now, hurricane jose could bring flooding and rain to the east coast. >> and hurricane maria is threatening to strike the hard-hit caribbean. category 4 storm and could take aim at the u.s. the caribbean is already feeling this effects this morning. our chief meteorologist, ginger zee, is here, with the latest on its path. good morning, ginger. >> robin, can you believe it. here i am talking about two hurricanes again. yes, i think jose is the first we want to focus in on because it's already happening. the images coming in from north carolina. you can see some of the rough surf that's been impacting some of the carolina coast there. that is going to move up the east coast and tomorrow especially we've got jose here, some 280 plus miles away from the coast. but you could see 12-foot waves anywhere from virginia and delaware up through new jersey, even brooklyn, 12-foot waves. can you imagine the impact and

the beach erosion possible there? tropical storm watches for 40 to 60-mile-per-hour wind gusts as this thing stays just enough offsho offshore, and then we have hurricane maria. this one will intensify in the next couple of days. 48 hours really we'll talk about its approach to the u.s. virgin islands, eventually puerto rico but has to make its way through the lesser antilles as it makes those intensifications and eventually the big question does it hit florida? everybody wants to know this, and most of the modeling taking it away from florida. but we'll track that just as we track puerto rico's impact where we find our rob marciano this morning, rob. another big one headed so close, up to 15 to 20 inches of rain. >> it is hard to believe, isn't it, ginger? our second one potentially hitting the same areas. and in less than two weeks. in puerto rico they're shutting down government offices and st. martin and st. thomas.

they are in survival mode. food, shelter and they're passing out blue tarps to give them something and debris flying around so begging residents to pin it down with heavy rock, whatever they can. san juan has been a hub for relief and recovery efforts. that's going to come to a halt as we wait for maria. we did okay here in irma. a lot of power out. fared okay. not a direct hit, but now we're looking at the potential for a category 4 direct hit and as we know from very recent experience, ginger, that's not fun for anyone. >> rob, we feel so much for those islands, and just to give people perspective. so active this season. we've seen the u.s. virgin islands if they see it as a major hurricane they've never had two major hurricanes hit this close to home in any season. so this is really starting to break records. >> boy, it sure is. ginger, thanks very much. there is high tension in the streets of st. louis for the third night in a row. protesters and police clashing after the acquittal of a white officer in the death of a black man and kenneth moton is on the scene. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. this city is bracing for another day of protests.

happening right now, demonstrators have gathered here in downtown st. louis. the plan, to disrupt the commute. new demonstrations sparked overnight after the department of justice revealed it would not pursue federal charges in that police shooting. overnight at least 80 protesters arrested as chaos broke out in the streets of st. louis. businesses vandalized. >> tonight we made more than 80 arrests. we confiscated at least five weapons. none of them were used. some criminals assaulted law enforcement officers and threw chemicals and rocks at them. >> reporter: police say they confiscated these bottles filled with unknown chemicals that were used as weapons against them. protesters say they're filled with vinegar used to treat pepper spray victims. it started with the acquittal of jason stockley in the killing of anthony lamar smith. the officer testified smith had a gun. he told st. louis dispatch his

life was threatened. >> i did not murder anthony lamar smith. i did not plant a gun. i can tell you with absolute certainty that there was no plan to murder anthony smith during a high-speed vehicle pursuit. >> reporter: that pursuit caught on a dashcam. stockley and his partner approached then chased the suspect who crashed into a telephone pole. stockley heard saying, quote, we're killing this expletive. the officer soon opened fire hitting smith five times. >> we have to come up with something better. this cannot consistently happen. >> reporter: during the day thousands peacefully protested. [ chanting ] star nick cannon joining the demonstrators. this peaceful demonstration continuing to grow. after three nights of destruction, we know that 120 suspects were arrested. also more than a dozen officers injured. this weekend big concerts were canceled. singer ed sheeran also the rock band u2 called off their performances because of security concern, robin.

>> very tense times, thank you. we turn to new developments in that london terror attack. this newly released surveillance footage may show the suspect shortly before that train bombing that injured 30 people on friday. a second man has already been arrested in connection with the attack. our chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with more. good morning, brian. >> good morning, robin. the investigation is taking some surprising turns of great concern this morning. as police in london are investigating whether the bomb that went off in the subway was meant to be something not seen before and perhaps much more dangerous, and explosives designed to release deadly chemical gases. >> reporter: this morning, the focus is on one of these row houses in the london suburb of sunbury-on-thames. the unlikely location of the bomb pactry, police believe,

it is owned by this elderly couple. penelope and ronald jones honored by the queen for serving for foster parents from young men including some from iraq and syria. an 18-year-old who lived there is under arrest and surveillance footage made public overnight appears to show a young man leaving the home 90 minutes before the attack carrying a white bag which police believe may have contained the bomb that went off in the subway friday morning. neighbors were stunned that a foster child might take advantage of the goodness of the elderly couple. >> he was a lovely young man. you wouldn't suspect anything from him. he was polite, courteous to the old couple. you didn't know anything about it. >> reporter: on supplement a second young man, 21 years old was arrested nearby. seen in a video posted by a british tabloid. that second arrest led to another series of police raids at a home disturbingly clothe to heathrow airport. >> the police have made good progress with what is an ongoing operation. >> reporter: officials say the forensics of the bucket bomb placed on the subway raise new questions about the attack. the absence of any metal

that could turn into shrapnel suggests to bomb experts that the goal instead may have been to release a deadly chemical. the threat level has dropped from critical to severe. given the series of four attacks in the past six months the british prime minister told george she wants a hard look at what is being done to prevent them. >> you said in the wake of the other attacks, enough is enough. things need to change. it's time for some even embarrassing conversations. what did you mean by that? >> well, it is necessary for us to look as we are doing at whether our police and security services have the full capabilities, the powers that they need. >> reporter: one big break in the case is the fact that the suspected bomber was captured alive. apparently as he tried to flee the country, this morning police will be pushing to learn more about the plot and the bomb, whether it was intended to be a kind of gas attack. so far, no chemical residue has been detected, robin. >> isis claiming responsibility.

what are officials saying about that claim? >> that's true and want to know if isis directed these two young men refugees who came to great britain as foster children. >> thank you, brian. >> the prime minister also said we have to find new ways on how the knit spreads these ideas, the prime minister said. she is one of many leaders coming for the general assembly including president trump as he prepares for a packed week of diplomacy. meeting with a host of foreign leaders, and delivering his first address to the u.n. tomorrow. north korea high on the agenda. the u.s. and south korea conducted joint military drills over the region and back in washington a new twist in the health care battle. a last-ditch effort to replace obamacare before the september 30th deadline and jon karl tracking it all. >> president trump quite literally takes the world stage this week appearing before the united nations, an organization he once declared is not a friend of america. president trump is back in new york. familiar territory to be sure

but for him an entirely unfamiliar forum, his debut before the united nations. a chance to address world leaders highly skeptical of his america first agenda. >> the speech is a tremendous opportunity, obviously, to reach so many world leaders at the same time. >> reporter: as a candidate, trump harshly criticized the u.n. as anti-american. >> the united nations is not a friend of democracy. it's not a friend to freedom. it's not a friend even to the united states of america. >> reporter: no issue looms larger this week than north korea. the trump administration seeks to rally support for pressuring kim jong-un to give up his nuclear weapons. >> if the united states has to defend itself or defend its allies in any way, north korea will be destroyed, and we all know that and none of us want that. none of us want war. >> reporter: overnight the u.s. and south korea conducted joint military drills in the face of north korea's defiance.

over the weekend the president took to twitter to hang a new nickname on north korea's kim jong-un. i spoke with president moon of south korea last night. asked him how rocket man is doing. long gas lines forming in north korea. too bad. the president's days will be packed with meeting after meeting with world leaders. it's been called the diplomatic equivalent of speed dating from hell. while he's toned down his criticism of the u.n., he'll still issue a challenge. >> the united nations has to reform to meet the goals and objectives laid out by the great secretary general there and to be true to its charter. >> reporter: one of the biggest questions facing the president this week is what he'll do with the iran nuclear deal negotiated by president obama. the white house is strongly suggesting he may pull out of the agreement, and, george, of course, that is an agreement still strongly supported by our closest allies in europe. >> they are pushing back very hard on that. more unity on the issue of north

korea and the president's representative yesterday i was speaking with general mcmaster escalating the rhetoric, even saying any north korean nuclear weapons are unacceptable. >> yes, and there is a feeling that kim jong-un and his father him went with confidence that the united states did not have a military option. that there was nothing the united states could or would do militarily and there is a growing sense that the president, that the administration must do something to erase that doubt. >> on the domestic front repeal and replace obama care looked like it was dead but new effort to bring it back and have to get it done before the september 30th deadline and have to pick up a few more votes. >> this is fascinating. the republicans are suddenly trying to get this going again, and i think what's happening here is they have seen that president trump has been willing to work with democrats, and if the republicans can't get it done on their own, they are worried he'll go and do

something with democrats that they really won't like but there's a chance but it's a tight margin. >> jon karl, thanks very much. >> september 30th will be here before we know it. now to the history making night at the emmys honoring the best in television. the awards show highlighting women and diversity, politics also taking center stage, lara was there for it all and joins us bright and early this morning from los angeles. good morning, lara. >> good morning, my robin. yeah, it was a special night. tv's biggest night and it did not disappoint. two notes before i start with you, if you haven't watched "the handmaid's tale" or "big little lies," you some binge-watching to do. they were the big winners and was politics referenced dozens of times in a crazy opening song and dance number by stephen colbert and politics also the reason for the night's big surprise guest. >> reporter: from the opening moment, politics was the theme of the night. ♪ turn on any channel well except the news ♪ >> reporter: emmy host stephen colbert kicking off the awards with a song and dance. ♪ calm yourself by watching this

dystopia look on the bright side handmaid's ♪ >> reporter: the night's comedian in chief not shying away from attacking the commander in chief. >> hello, sir, thank you for joining us. looking forward to the tweets. >> reporter: even bringing out a surprise guest. former white house press secretary sean spicer stunning everybody including anna chlumsky and his tv alter ego, melissa mccarthy. >> this will be the largest audience to witness an emmys, period. both in person and around the world. >> reporter: colbert joking about the president never winning an emmy for "the celebrity apprentice." >> because unlike the presidency, emmys go to the winner of the popular vote. >> i suppose i should say at long last, mr. president, here is your emmy. [ laughter ] >> reporter: and "snl" bringing home three other awards including best variety show and best supporting actress for kate mckinnon for her impersonations of hillary clinton and attorney

general jeff sessions, but it was a record-breaking night for "veep's" julia louis-dreyfus. setting the record for most emmys won by a performer for the same role in a series. >> we did have a whole story line about an impeachment but we abandoned that because we were worried that someone else might get to it first. [ laughter ] >> do you allow yourself to think about that stuff or are you just so psyched about the role? >> the bottom line is that this job i have is so spectacular. >> yeah. >> and this role is so through the roof that that's the true treasure. having said that, i'm delighted. >> reporter: the biggest winners of the night. >> "the handmaid's tale." >> reporter: "the handmaid's tale" taking home five emmys including best drama and hbo's female driven murder mystery "big little lies" taking home five of their own. >> this is yours. i want my little girls to have this on their shelf and to look at it and go every time my momma didn't put me to bed it's

because of this. i got something. >> she got something, all right. a lot of people saying it was almost like a mini oscars. there were so many movie stars there, and yes, there were some snubs. a lot of people shocked that the binge-watching phenomenon and red carpet darlings from "stranger things" left empty handed and "west world" favored to be to a winner, but seemed to be left out in the cold. and a lot of people, myself included, guys, absolutely loved ryan murphy's "feud," and was shocked it didn't take home any trophies, none for jessica lange or susan sarandon. a pretty funny reaction when she did not hear her name called, we'll tell you about that in segment seven. you guys, we'll get into it. >> that was a priceless moment, thank you very much. mixed reaction to sean spicer's appearance. >> i had a mixed reaction. listen, anybody can make fun of themselves, it's a good thing but this is a pretty serious problem.

jon karl said from the white house, every single day where sean and other representatives of the administration simply didn't tell the truth. >> he showed he was willing to humiliate himself on a very big stage, but he's joking about the fact that he blatantly misled the american people on his first day on the job. >> not that funny. >> okay, jon karl, thanks very much. back to ginger with more on hurricane jose's threats. >> more like the threats from the hurricanes. maybe just too soon. i'll have a lot more coming up on jose's threats including all of the high surf and potential for high gusty winds up to connecticut and rhode island, as well. fir first, we have to get your select cities brought to you by walmart.

she threw a weak solution of hydrochloric acid at us from a water bottle which got in one of my eyes and one of my friend's eyes. we were all treated at a local hospital and are anticipating a quick recovery. courtney siverling posting i did not receive any injuries from the attack in marseilles this morning and we're all safe. the students had been touring the port city of marseilles in southern france when the woman struck. today the college juniors return to paris where school officials tell abc news they plan to complete their semesters abroad before returning to the u.s. >> one of the students will have to see an eye doctor tomorrow but they're doing well, spirits are good and we're fortunate. >> reporter: while acid attacks are rare, the acid survivors trust international estimates there are roughly 1,500 reports of acid attacks around the world every year. authorities in marseilles saying the woman has a history of psychological problems and have ruled out any link to terrorism. it has been a rise in acid attacks across europe, especially here in london. last year 450 crimes at least where acid was used as a weapon. it's used in cleaning liquids which means it's relatively easy to get ahold of. george? >> wow.

that is a dangerous trend. okay, james. thanks very much. we turn now to new developments in the tragic death of an lsu freshman. authorities are investigating whether hazing at a fraternity played a role as the young man's classmates and community remember him at a memorial tonight. gio benitez has more. >> this is a growing mystery. the young man reportedly wanted to be a sportswriter but somehow he lost his life and now his death is at the center of an all new hazing investigation. >> reporter: this morning, new details in the death of 18-year-old fraternity pledge, max gruver. >> why did his life have to end so early? >> reporter: a preliminary autopsy report revealed that gr gruver, a freshman pledging the phi delta theta fraternity at louisiana state university had a highly elevated blood alcohol level and the presence of thc, a chemical found in marijuana in

his system. gruver was rushed from phi delta theta's fraternity house to a hospital wednesday night where he later died. lsu immediately shutting down all greek activities, campus police now investigating if hazing played a part in his death. >> we'll look at the evidence, what it shows, what took place that evening, what took place that morning and they're still in the gathering phase of that and then analyzing that information. >> reporter: in recent years phi delta theta has been at the center of numerous alcohol and hazing-related incidents at different schools. the fraternity's national organization suspending lsu's local chapter pending its investigation. the fraternity's ceo telling abc news it holds our chapters accountable to our anti-hazing philosophy and that over the past decade phi delta theta has removed 19 undergraduate chapters due to risk management violations. >> the root of the problem is that phi delta theta like most fraternities has risk management policies, but all of those policies are implemented by 19-year-olds and 20-year-olds who are untrained and ill-equipped to manage these risks that have taken place for decades. >> reporter: one of gruver's grieving suite mates telling lsu

student tv station he doesn't want his friend's death to be in vain. >> speak his name. don't just let him be that one guy that passed away at a frat party. >> reporter: and tonight lsu will host that memorial mass and prayer vigil for gruver at a church on campus. you know, so many are just heartbroken about this. family and friends will be looking at that investigation to see what it finds. >> we are thinking about them with that service tonight. thank you. >> it is a sad story. coming up here, kevin hart at the center of an extortion plot. we'll show you what he is saying to his wife and kids now. a little help. i need help dude. brad. brad, are you watchin'? nothing comes before coffee. my glasses are fogging. dude, are you mad at me? that's why we're introducing a whole new line of espresso drinks from mccafe. café-quality from beans to espresso machines. looking swole man. i felt swollen. swole, not swollen.

we are back with that extortion plot targeting kevin hart. he claims someone was demanding millions of dollars over a sexually suggestive video and now he is posting an emotional apology to his wife and family. abc's linsey davis has the story. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, george. just last month kevin hart took to instagram to wish his wife who he often refers to as his rib a happy one-year anniversary. then over the weekend he took to instagram again. this time to apologize to his pregnant wife for, quote, making a bad error in judgment. while comedian kevin hart is known for cracking jokes -- >> i know. >> reporter: -- the funny man is taking a serious turn speaking out trying to get ahead of what his reps are calling a failed extortion attempt. >> i feel like i have a target on my back and because of that, i should make smart decisions. and recently i didn't. >> reporter: the fbi is reportedly investigating a video

showing hart with a woman who isn't his wife. an extorter allegedly demanding millions of dollars from hart. one of the highest paid comedians in the world. >> i know that i'm going to hurt the people closest to me who i talked to and apologized to. being my wife and my kids. >> reporter: hart beat the extorter to the punch posting this video on his instagram account apologizing to his family and wife eniko who is 31 weeks pregnant with their first child. >> i'm not going to lie in person to have financial gain off my mistakes and in this particular situation that's what was attempted. i said i'd rather fess up to my mistakes. >> reporter: the 38-year-old who has two children to a previous marriage wed his longtime girlfriend last year but since then rumors of hart's infidelity have swirled. but in a radio interview last year, he said cheating is not a game he wants to be involved in. >> why risk it? what am i going to throw it all away for? it's not worth it.

>> reporter: the "central intelligence" star. >> in or out? >> then i'm out. >> reporter: isn't the first funny man to fight back against extortion. >> i have had sex with women who work for me on this show. >> reporter: in 2009 david letterman revealed live on the show while married he had several affairs with some of his staffers after a former cbs producer attempted to blackmail him for $2 million. that producer pled guilty to extortion charges. >> anybody that's being extorted should never pay. you have no control at all as to whether they're going to release the information or not. >> reporter: as for hart, he's owning up to his mistakes. >> i'm not perfect. i'm not going to sit up here and say i am or claim to be in any way, shape or form. >> reporter: along with the video, hart also posted a written message to his wife and kids saying, i got to do better, and i will. just last month his ex-wife accused him of cheating on her with his current wife. at that time he used social media to simply laugh off the accusation, not so much this time.

george. >> different tact. okay, linsey. thanks very much. let's talk about this with our chief legal analyst, dan abrams. so, we just saw in the piece it worked for david letterman. will it work for kevin hart? >> i think it's what he has to do in a case like this, he has to come clean, right? you can't start paying off extortion demands and open yourself up to getting another demand in six months from that. so i think that he had no choice here but to do exactly what he did, which is go public, take responsibility. >> take the hit. >> and now help lead this investigation. >> well, that's the question. do you turn it around? is this a real plot that can be prosecuted? >> yeah. look, most of the time, extortion is a state crime. it seems that the fbi in this case is investigating. that could be because it was across state lines or because it's on the internet, et cetera. those are reasons it could become potentially a federal crime but all 50 states have extortion laws. it's important to remember. you don't have to threaten someone physically to potentially be guilty of extortion.

you can threaten to humiliate someone. you can threaten to put something out there publicly to disclose that you are not being faithful to your wife in exchange for money. so it has to be a demand for something of value and threatening to do something horrible. >> but then the push, he has to weigh getting some sort of legal justice there and keeping it in the news forever. >> well, that's right. my guess is right now that he cares a lot less about legal justice, would like this to go away. but the legal justice has to go hand in hand with this. the minute he decides, i'm going to go public with this, his position has to be, and i'm going to be helping. >> take it all the way. >> in the context of this investigation. it will be interesting to me, though, to continue to follow whether this just becomes a federal investigation or whether it becomes state because as i said before, most of the time extortion is something that's investigated as a state crime. >> okay, dan abrams, thanks very much. let's go to robin. thank you. coming up we'll go back to lara in l.a. because we'll have much more on the emmys.

the real story behind this reaction making headlines around the world. come on back. bin. thank you. coming up we'll go back to lara in l.a. because we'll have much more on the emmys. the real story behind this reaction making headlines around the world. come on back. with some big news about type 2 diabetes. you have type 2 diabetes, right? yes. so let me ask you this... how does diabetes affect your heart? it doesn't, does it? actually, it does. type 2 diabetes can make you twice as likely to die from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke. and with heart disease, your risk is even higher. you didn't know that.

no. yeah. but, wait, there's good news for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit. jardiance is proven to both significantly reduce the chance of dying from a cardiovascular event in adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease and lower your a1c. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions.

so now that you know all that, what do you think? that it's time to think about jardiance. ask your doctor about jardiance. and get to the heart of what matters. that trop50 could taste so good and still have 50% fewer calories. can i stop, jane? no. trop50. tastes so good you won't believe it has 50% fewer calories. you'dreamt about it, it, maybe you should just go ahead and do it. we're legalzoom, and we've helped over a million people just like you start their own businesses. legalzoom. legal help is here. it's looking up, not down.ng fit's being in motion.

shocking, everyone is calling it the reaction of the night. caught on camera, george and robin. here, take a look again in full. here you go. >> the emmy goes to laura dern, "big little lies." >> so the woman that you see screaming damn it is jackie hoffman, guys. she was nominated for her role as mamasita in the limited series "feud" so she doesn't hear her name and is seen shaking her head in disgust and yelling "damn it" over and over when dern's name was called as the winner. a few minutes later, she then sends out a tweet taking it one step further and writes on twitter, laura dern had famous parents. forgive me for being from real people. #elitism, #emmys and tweets out a couple more outrageous tweets. they are clearly jokes, and then

she writes, quote, i hear the media is taking my reaction seriously. are you kidding me? so -- >> wait a second. people thought she was serious? >> she's an actress. of course -- >> there are some people who thought that she was being serious. i thought -- i knew she was being funny. she is a comedian. you guys knew it too, right? >> it was a great bit, come on. >> look, we're talking about her. she didn't even win. >> no, but i mean -- >> this happened from time to time. faith hill was backstage and i think taylor swift or something won, and there was a similar reaction, and people thought that she was for real. come on. it was so obvious that she was having fun. >> it was so funny. i love when you can see all six of them and her just -- >> then the tweets. >> after that. >> you know what, guys, she wanted us to know that colbert thought it was hilarious. he went up to her and said that was spot on. such a funny moment. and that's sort of how the night was. it was a really -- it was a

update on hurricane maria. now a category 2 storm and you can see it churning there towards those lesser antilles and eventually puerto rico and we'll watch for that in the next 48 hours. this will intensify. could it end up being a category 4 and then turning away into the ocean. the interaction with jose will be interesting and will have a lot of impact. when is the last time you saw a tropical storm watch up and down the east coast? good morning. i'm abc 7 news meteorologist mike nicco. becoming breezy, sunny and cooler. we will have another cold front wens and coolest lows 30s, 40s and 50s. today mid to upper 60s along the coast, san francisco. 70 to 74 around the bay. and 75 to 79 inland. tonight cooler. low to upper 50s. my seven day forecast, that is autumn right there. we [ cheers and applause ] now to our "gma" consumer

lab, this morning we're taking a look at the new and cheapest at-home test to determine your risk of developing breast cancer. it tests for the brca1 and 2 gene mutations and launches today from the company, colored. adrienne, you were able to take a closer look. >> as you know, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. that old adage. something one woman and her family found holds very true in this case with a very affordable case that proved life-saving. >> reporter: devon gant has her whole life ahead of her. the last thing she expected is to test positive for the brca2 gene which gives her a dramatically increased risk of getting breast cancer. >> kind of a black cloud, i guess. it's this thing that's kind of looming in the future. >> reporter: but there is a silver lining. genetic tests can cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars, so devon took an early version of a new test coming out today called color right in her own home. at $149 it's now the least

expensive genetic test for the brca1 and 2 genes on the market. >> one out of eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime so it's very important that for women who are high risk, we wanted them to have access to the test. >> reporter: here's how it works. provide us a saliva sample and it carries your dna, and send it off to the lab. once analyzed you receive your online results in three to four weeks along with a complimentary consultation. is there any point where you felt like, this is just not fair, you being 30? >> yeah, definitely. i mean it's a higher risk. it's not a guarantee. it's not a death sentence. >> reporter: devon was prompted to take it when her aunt lauren's color test came back positive, and doctors september her in for a life-changing mri. >> they found a couple of spots. said they didn't really think it was anything. and it came back it was cancer. >> reporter: with the gene testing and early detection, lauren is now cancer-free. >> thank god.

it would have been totally different outcome come probably next february when i went for ay mogfy. >> reporter: lauren is grateful she and devon were tested. >> now she knows and knows what she needs to do and she'll city healthy. >> reporter: devon has a mammogram and ultrasound every couple months and all their immediate family had the test done. while there is no family history in their case of cancer, many of them did test positive for that brca gene. >> adrienne, thanks so much for bringing that to our attention and we're going to bring in our senior medical contributor, jen ashton right now. i now you do a lot of genetic testing in your office. tell us the importance of this. >> well, listen, genetic testing is important for people because it shows us a possible window into the future. it doesn't mean a guarantee because we know that genes are just one part of what determines someone's future health risk. behavior, environment are also important. but now people need to know we're just talking about the brca1 and 2 mutation. it is now possible to test for

over 30 gene mutations that are associated with various types of hereditary cancer, eight or more are associated with breast cancer so while all the attention goes on brca, it is important for people to know they can have a gene mutation in other genes and it is readily available now to test for this. this is a mainstream option which i think is good news for some people. >> because it's not for everyone. >> that's correct. so who should get the test? who should not get the test? absolutely not recommended for every single person. that's clear. >> why is that? >> because there are certain criteria. with any screening test it's not every single person gets screened for every single thing. so i want you to take a look at this list. when you talk about the brca mutation there's certain criteria we like people too meet. someone who has a family history of someone having a positive brca mutation. anyone with ovarian cancer at any age. breast cancer before the age of 50. triple negative breast cancer before the age of 60. male breast cancer in the family at any age.

people of ashkenazi, jewish ancestry and people with two or more cases of breast cancer on one occurring before the age of 50 on the same side of the family, so you can see it's not, oh, if you've had a case of cancer you should have this test done. >> tell us how it works. >> i'll do the demonstration, very simple. this one is based on saliva. you can get it done in a doctor's office with blood tests as well. do a little spit which i'm not going to demonstrate. take the funnel off and put the top on and put it in this bag and then you put it into the box and mail it. it already has a label and get your results in three to four weeks. very simple. i want to mention one other thing, robin. we hear a lot about cost here. it is actually a myth that this test costs thousands of dollars if you meet criteria and have insurance it will be covered if you meet those criteria. if you don't you can still get the test covered. this is mainstream. >> that's good to know. what do you do if you get a positive result? >> counseling.

we have to remember men get this mutation also so this is a prolonged discussion. >> thanks. >> you bet. >> george? we're going to move onto "dancing with the stars" that premieres tonight, and our special correspondent former "dancing" champ drew lachey is giving us an exclusive behind the scenes sneak peek as his brother, nick, prepares to take on the ballroom. take a look. ♪ >> reporter: the 25th season of "dancing with the stars" has arrived. and it's a family affair. my brother nick couldn't resist giving me a hard time. >> this is the best you could come up with, right? >> i know. >> times are tough. >> reporter: rehearsal is like one big family reunion. nick's wife vanessa is competing against him. she is dancing with maks, who is married to peta, nick's dance partner. >> my husband is with another woman bumping and grinding. i'll have to be okay with it. >> reporter: separating home and ballroom can be a challenge. >> i was joking with my girlfriend yesterday. >> he showed you his first step already.

>> you're used to having some outspoken coaches and teammates. >> absolutely. >> are you saying that i'm outspoken? >> i'm saying you're too spoken. >> reporter: peta says my brother already has a nickname. >> pops because he's the oldest in the competition. >> pops. >> what's it come to i'm the oldest guy in the show? >> it comes to you being old. >> oh, drew. >> he joins us from l.a. you danced twice. season 2 and 15. you know what they are going through right now, a lot of butterflies. a lot of pretty fierce rehearsals. >> yeah. yeah, i guarantee you right now they're starting to freak out. the show is today. they're just thinking please don't let me go home first. let me remember the steps. so there's a lot going on in their heads right now. >> between nick and vanessa who is more nervous? >> i say probably nick because there's the sibling rivalry in there too. he has an expectation to live up to. >> between nick and vanessa can you go ahead and make the tough decision and tell us who is going to do better?

>> oh. that is going to make for awkward holidays. so i don't know if i'm comfortable with that. they are both going to do well. >> okay. pull back. [ applause ] >> yeah, we're only 60 days from thanksgiving. i think that's very smart. pull back. how about the whole cast? who do you like? >> well, victoria and val. the story there is pretty much intense and amazing, but all in all, this is one of my favorite casts to watch. i just watched them in rehearsal. it's going to be a tough season for the judges. >> what is it about this cast that stands out to you? >> i think it's just the variety. obviously, you know, victoria and val. i mentioned her before. her story of coming from the paralympics to learning to walk again and now she is on "dancing with the stars," to nick and vanessa and that story line as well. debbie gibson. you know, you got a lot of people out there with some pretty significant fan bases and you can't take for granted the strength of their partner's fan

bases as well. >> that's true. >> good point, nick. when we come back, lara is in l.a. "dancing with the stars" premieres tonight at 8:00. 8:00.

it's 8:27. police looking for the suspect who they say ran over two of their officers. this happened in a parking lot in front of a safeway. police say the officers were trying to stop a shop lifting suspect. the man u. jumped into his car and drove off. both were taken to the hospital and they are expected to recover. let's see how traffic is doing. >> not great in the pleasanton area. we have a sig alert. this is a crash involving a motorcycle and major injuries. we have at least two lanes blocked and they are saying intermittent lane closures for that situation. westbound 80 near hill top drive

a new crash is reported. some delays. >> if you like the idea of fall

now your accuweather forecast. >> still kind of muggy. check out temperatures mainly in the 60s. small craft advisory north of the bay bridge today. drizzle and sunshine at the beaches. no heat in my accuweather seven day forecast.

>> another update in about 30 minutes. i will see you then. we do welcome you back to "gma" and we have a great audience here in our studio for this monday morning and happy to have celebrity stylist joe zee and "glamour" editor with us, cindy leive. we'll get their takes on the hottest looking of the night. let's go back to lara for a red carpet recap and let me just say, you looked smashing in your red gown last night. >> well, robin, thank you. that's the big word, red. oh, there you go and i didn't even know it but i was a trendsetter apparently. it was a red hot emmys. red was everywhere from the carpet itself, of course, to no less than a dozen winners and presenters.

definitely the most pervasive trend i saw at the show this year. that wasn't all, metallic, florals dazzled and the lengths that women wore were all over the place. it was a fashion lover's from the red carpet to the stage. nothing little about the fashion statements from the ladies of "big little lies." the bold and bright proving right for some stars especially in the color red. the stunning issa rae, sarah hyland, nicole kidman all wearing red well. and other big trends of the night, short, and even shorter favored by reese and millie. plunging necklines and last but not least, fierce gowns adorned by feathers. >> wow. >> wow. lara, you got to see it all up close and personal so give us your two favorites. can you narrow it down to two? >> hard to do.

i'll go with julia louis-dreyfus. she was wearing carolina herrera and it's not because you offered me $100 to say this. this is because -- this is because when i interviewed her she turned around and she had that embroidery of those yellow rose buds it actually trailed all the way around the back so intricate and made her booty look incredible. that dress was absolutely spectacular up close and i loved oprah. sophisticated lady. she was wearing elizabeth kennedy, that suit, the glasses, she rocked. >> yeah, put it all together. >> you rocked as well, lara. thank you. we'll bring in cindy and joe. cindy. >> i loved shailene woodley's look. we just saw it. we were talking about plunging neck lines. it was plunging. velvet green ralph lauren dress. it was easy. you are know, she's a young girl, an environmentalist and

famously said on the red carpet she doesn't watch tv and this is like an easiness to it, wasn't one of those things you have to corset yourself into and i thought that was appropriate for her and loved issa rae talking about the red trend in a vera wang dress. this is a bridal gown that vera made for her in red and there are a lot of fans of her show "insecure" like myself miffed she wasn't nominated for anything and i loved that she just brought it. >> i know. >> she was like i'm going to win this red carpet. >> and she did. >> she did. >> and more? >> those are my two favorites and loved all the metallics. >> i loved all the metallics. i agree they did look fantastic. i love zoe kravitz. she looked gorgeous in that dior. so much about feathers was a big trend and had this big rainbow feather bottom on this couture gown and i loved it. it was so easy and with the short hair, it felt so effortless. >> millennial pink. >> and i always love jessica biel.

there's something so statuesque and glamorous about her. she really just looks like she just threw that on and left the house. she looks incredible. such an ease about her and wearing ralph & russo. the makeup was soft, tones were soft. >> another plunging neckline. it was definitely a good night for double faced tape. >> you really like plunging necklines. >> what were the other trends? >> definitely which i was calling disco ball couture, i've never met a disco ball i didn't love and saw a ton of it. it wasn't just about silver sequins. it was about mirrors and embellishments from priyanka chopra to anna chlumsky and sarah paulson but we have to talk about tracee ellis ross. she is such a fashion risk taker. >> totally. >> on the red carpet she does her thing and kind of always wins for me. >> the telestrator is coming out. >> i love my telestrator. you have the silver belt and

then, of course, you have all the glitter and, again, the feathers. the feathers. >> the feathers! >> i mean the feather bottom so beautiful and there was a hint of diana ross here. >> yeah, she's her mother's daughter there. no, i loved it. >> too bad it didn't translate. can you show everybody you did the telestrator. >> can you guys see? >> i feel like this is a classroom and i'm educating you. >> that's right. now, cindy, cindy, we did hear that lara said red. >> red, i loved this. lara, you started it. we'll give you credit but nicole did you proud in this calvin klein dress and jane fonda sliding into the red category there with a sort of reddish-pink dress backless and gina rodriguez and i think this was a year and is a year in general for powerful women and saw a lot of females at the emmys. we're not cupcakes here. >> no, no, no.

so what else did you think was the big buzz? >> everybody was talking about reese witherspoon because she typically wears america's sweetheart dresses and was wearing this power almost suit. blazer dress, dark green by stella mccartney. >> i'm a producer. >> yeah, that's what i love. she was like i'm not just the talent here. she was like i made this project big little lies happen here and she was dretsi she was dressing like the producer. >> i love that. so what -- let's say was unexpected to you. >> i think reese was for sure unexpected always doing the american girl next door and old hollywood but the idea you can wear a tuxedo to the emmys and really look sharp and i think what lara was saying about oprah. i love oprah and evan rachel wood. if you look at them side by side, evan 30 and oprah is 63 and both look dynamite. the fact that oprah was wearing that and i was watching her and watching it all unfold and her telling me about her

fittings with oprah was such a triumphant moment for both designer and oprah. >> a good lesson if you're wondering what to wear, wear the white tux. >> yes. >> a lot of confidence. >> yes, so much confidence and i love that people took risks. tracee ellis ross but saw that almost with everybody and that's wonderful. >> should take this act on the road. >> coming soon to a theater near you. >> you don't have to tell us twice. >> thank you both very much. coming up, the cast of "fuller house" all here live. wow. wow. oh, you brought butch. yeah! (butch growls at man) he's looking at me right now, isn't he? yup. (butch barks at man) butch is like an old soul that just hates my guts. (laughs) (vo) you can never have too many faithful companions. introducing the all-new crosstrek. love is out there. find it in a subaru crosstrek.

i think you'll be surprised by this next story. it's i think you'll be surprised by this next story. it's called a brosectomy. nick watt explains what that means. take it away, nick. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, listen, around half a million american men every year get the snip, a vasectomy. mildly or massively traumatic so welcome to the brosectomy. you do it with a buddy or a bunch of buddies. is this a solution? we tagged along. these two chose robe, slippers, super posh pizza. sports on tv and a suite at the aka in beverly hills. >> it's a great diversion. >> reporter: and they're ready. >> snipping, bro'ing out. >> these office mates both have kids and don't want more.

>> i'd rather do this with you than my wife to be honest. seriously, look at each other like a little tear like a dog that was fixed. >> reporter: camaraderie is the idea. it's nearly time. >> is it? >> let's go. >> who is going in first? >> we don't do it at the same time. it's not like a communal vasectomy. >> you got the key? >> i got the key. >> doctor, paul tourett will operate on their bits and pieces. >> it's fast, it's quick. it's played to jazz. it's eight minutes and i move like the wind. >> reporter: it was the dashing doctor's idea. >> it came to me while surfing. always go with somebody else. when you're in unsafe, uncomfortable situation it's nice to have a bro around. astronauts don't go to space alone, right? >> reporter: the doctor says men who get snipped with a buddy recover quickly. >> i track them every day and track painkiller use and they do better. >> reporter: the first was 2013, college buddies on a reunion. >> they were more busy catching up than thinking mr. their

procedure. >> reporter: it's helping men get it done. >> my wife's been nagging me to do this for a long time. >> now the truth comes out. >> i've been sitting with my legs crossed for this entire interview. partly i feel like i will be less of a man if i'm firing blanks. is that common? >> that's the best contraceptive ever developed. you need to get over it. >> they did together. >> he lived. >> i was thinking of him the whole time because, oh, he's going to have to go through this. >> i wasn't thinking about him. >> reporter: brosectomy, the aftermath, they chose a massage. >> you feel less masculine? >> no, he's doing great. >> reporter: a vasectomy does not make your voice higher just to be clear. it means one thing and one thing only. >> here's to firing blanks. >> firing blanks. >> why not. >> cheers. >> i'll drink to that. >> thank you. >> now, the doctor says this should be used by dentists and other doctors where men feel weird and alone and the cost for this brosectomy, the doctor

wouldn't even say, a lot is the most i could get out of him. george. >> well, let's see if he sold it. bob, dave, brosectomy? >> yeah, dave and i are going to do it together. get a little orange juice. you want to come with us? >> let's go to ginger. >> it's too early. >> wow. orange juice, that will fix everything. good morning to kaston. he's from florida. have you seen snow before? >> no. >> in montana they had almost two feet. that dog, token, just taking it all in. isn't he cute? snow is cute when it looks like that. i bet you'd love to see that. we'll get it someday. good morning. i'm meteorologist mike nicco. after a muggy start and mild temperatures we end up in the 60s at the coast. cooler breezes by 4:00. my seven day forecast
