good morning, america. breaking news, the new airport security screenings taking effect right now for hundreds of thousands of people flying to the u.s. daily. also breaking this morning, top secret jfk files about his assassination. thousands of documents set to be released at any moment. an abc news exclusive. ashley judd one-on-one with diane sawyer in her first tv interview since her allegations helped ignite that firestorm against harvey weinstein. what she says really happened with the disgraced movie producer. >> what would you say to harvey weinstein today? >> and the surprising message she has for him right now, only on "gma" this morning. close call. a driver losing control slamming into a crowded restaurant full of diners at lunchtime. how everyone miraculously survived.

♪ baby we were born to run and born to run. the astros edging out the dodgers in a record-breaking night on the baseball field scoring their first world series game win ever. >> the astros win it. >> with home run after home run. the wild night players are calling the best game ever. ♪ just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims and strap your hands across my engines. and good morning, america. now that is a world series little home run derby last night. >> the game was incredible. but that's not what everybody is talking about. everybody is talking about the legend who made a surprise appearance yesterday before the game. vin scully returned to the dodger stadium for the pregame ceremony and the whole time during the whole game all they could talk about how they wished he was in the booth. the guys in the booth wanted to give him the job last night. >> he still got it.

>> still has it. >> his voice, unmistakable. but first we want to get to those new airport security measures going into effect this morning for every flight heading to the u.s. you're looking live at l.a.x., as these screening procedures start this morning. abc's david kerley is there with more on what we can expect. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the u.s. is demanding this increased security on flights that are coming to the u.s. and arriving at airports like this, which means you are going to hear new security questions and interview before you board a flight overseas. it's called enhanced passenger screening ordered by the u.s. government three months ago. the deadline comes today for airlines to take part. it's up to those airlines to actually decide how to meet this new security system, and they will probably ask -- many of them have decided just to ask all passengers on all flights some security questions. that potentially means 325,000 passengers from 2,100 flights from 280 airports that fly directly into the u.s.

but you're going to be asked simple questions. who packed your bag? where are you going? it's the israeli model used to engage passengers to find if anybody is nervous or uncomfortable, robin. just some simple questions before you get on the flight. >> simple questions. you better have the right answers. that's for international travel. but like so many heading to the airport -- i have a dinner event later in orlando -- domestic international, these security measures, are they going to slow down travel? >> reporter: experts don't really think so, robin, because if you have flown domestically these last few years, you have had these questions. it's just the engagement from airport, airline workers just to see if you're nervous or not. >> thank you, david. >> they have worked in israel. to the white house now where president trump is pushing hard for tax cuts ahead of today's crucial vote in the house. in an interview overnight, he struck an optimistic note. >> i think the house is looking really good, you know. passing this bill along rapidly. in fact, that's going to happen hopefully today and did want to make a couple of calls.

i said, fellas, please, no changes, just pass it along. we have to get tax cuts. >> let's bring in our senior white house correspondent, cecilia vega, and cecilia, the president optimistic, but we're already seeing a tug-of-war over 401(k)s. >> reporter: yeah, george, but sources i've spoken to are not as optimistic as the president on this one. the president said definitively there will be no changes to your 401(k) but the top republican on capitol hill, the person writing this tax reform plan says, no, actually there could be some changes under consideration, some sharp limits to what employees can contribute to their retirements. here at the white house yesterday, president trump seemed to muddy the waters yet again. and said actually 401(k)s could be used as a negotiating tool as republicans are debating and trying to figure out how to pay for his tax reform plan. the big deal right now, george, president trump needs republicans in order to pass this, but he's already alienated and frustrated some of his allies on his continual mixed messages on this one. >> everyone wants tax cuts. always differences in how to pay for it, as you said.

meantime, the president could make a major announcement today he's been previewing for sometime an emergency on the opioid crisis, but there's some nuance there. >> reporter: yeah, this is something he campaigned on. he first promised to declare a national emergency on this months ago. sources here at the white house tell us that today the president will deliver what's being billed as a pretty big address on this topic. but he's not expected to declare the more sweeping national health emergency. he's going to call this a public health emergency. his own opioid commission had declared -- had recommended that he use the bigger phrase on this one. nonetheless, though, george, experts are applauding it as something that is much needed. drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in this country and a majority of that relates to opioids. >> no question it's a national crisis. cecilia vega, thanks very much. now to those highly anticipated documents about president john f. kennedy's assassination. just moments away from being released, after president trump gave the green light. this story more than 50 years as

you know in the making. our chief national correspondent tom llamas is at the national archives in washington. good morning, tom. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. at any moment the national archives can release the secret files on the jfk assassination. now we have just learned from the national archives that they are ready to release the final batch. they are just waiting on the green light from president trump. now according to the act that made this a law to release these documents, the president does have the power to withhold some of the documents if the fbi or the cia appeal to the white house today and said, listen. don't want don't release some of these documents because it could harm military operations, intelligence operations or foreign relations that would outweigh the public discourse. this is one of the monumental times in american history. nearly 54 years ago when president kennedy rolled through dallas in that lincoln continental with the convertible

top down making him a prime target. what will be in these secret documents? experts tell us they mostly deal with the fbi and the cia. they were so secret at one point, these agencies did not want them out. they thought the information was way too sensitive. experts we spoke to think they will mostly deal with what lee harvey oswald was doing in the seven weeks leading up to the assassination in mexico city, when he visited the embassies in that city. did any cia or fbi caseworkers, spies or agents or diplomats know what oswald wanted to do? did they hear he wanted to kill the president? if so, how did they share that information? this case, and what happened on that horrible day in dallas has sparked so many conspiracy theories from the second shooter to the mafia being involved to even the link to the cuban government, and even a black umbrella that had poisonous darts that someone was using in

the crowd. there are so many documents, robin. get this. more than 5 million combined, including all those documents in the assassination records, robin. >> >> reporter: yeah. >> all but 1% have been reviewed by historians at some time or another but to have them widely available will get a lot of excitement going. >> it will. >> may add to some of these conspiracy theories. we'll see. now to a possible plot at a georgia high school where two teens are accused of planning a deadly attack. police say they found weapons and a diary full of threats. steve osunsami has more. >> reporter: this is tough this morning for families in the suburb north of atlanta learning just how close they came to a major tragedy. >> obviously we want the parents to understand that we -- deputy sheriff's office wants to make sure that parents understand that we take this very seriously. we don't want anything -- i can't even do this right now. >> reporter: what she ends up

sharing, two teenagers at etowah high school are being charged as adults for attempted murder after police say they planned to set off an explosive in the high school directly targeting a list of teachers and students. >> i knew both of those kids. they both rode my bus. everybody was just shocked. >> reporter: police have arrested 17-year-old alfred dupree and victoria mccurley after investigators say they found dupree's personal diary spelling out the plans and a homemade bomb inside one of the teen's homes. >> i don't know we have an actual motivation for what caused this. we deal with a lot of mental health issues and i think they may be the case here. >> it could have been terrible. it could have been very bad if they didn't get on top of it on time but they did. >> reporter: we're told this morning that the high school, of course, is across the street and we're told those two students are appearing in court this morning. neither of them have entered a plea. police say that the real heroes in this case are the students most likely, who knew something

was going on, and called it in. robin? >> they said something. they saw something, felt something and did something. you're right about that, steve. to see the emotion from the sheriff like that. now the latest on the hurricane recovery effort in puerto rico. a new battle breaking out over a company that was awarded a contract to restore power. abc's gio benitez, you've got those details. >> reporter: that's right, robin. good morning to you. puerto rico's governor has formally called for a review of how that tiny company was awarded the contract. this as a twitter war breaks out between the company and the san juan mayor. overnight, the tiny montana-based power company with the $300 million contract to restore power in puerto rico under fire once again amid concerns that the company with just two full-time employees was founded by a resident of white fish, montana. hometown of interior secretary ryan zinke. san juan mayor carmen yulin cruz is calling for it to be voided and her comments setting off and online brawl which called her comments

demoralizing. the mayor firing back asking if whitefish energy feels that asking for transparency is misplaced. what are they afraid we will find? that's when whitefish seemingly threatened to call off their repair efforts on the island still 75% without power. we've got 44 linemen rebuilding power lines in your city and 40 more men just arrived. do you want us to send them back or keep working? and whitefish now apologizing for the exchange saying the comments did not represent who they are and how important this work is. the company also now criticizing the u.s. response calling it a disgusting chapter. >> okay, gio, thanks very much. there are new developments in last year's mysterious disappearance of california mom, sherri papini. she said she was held for weeks by two women, but new evidence raises questioning about that account and new sketches of possible suspects and a 911 call from the day she disappeared. our senior national correspondent, matt gutman, has been on the case from the start. he has the latest. >> i just got home from work and my wife wasn't there which is unusual. >> reporter: for the first time

we're hearing the 911 call keith papini made nearly a year ago, moments after discovering his wife, sherri, had vanished from their northern california home. sounding remarkably composed, he said he last heard from her -- >> she sent me a text asking if i was coming home for lunch. i said, sorry, long day. that was the last -- never spoke to her on the phone again. >> okay. >> reporter: it was november 2nd and told the dispatcher his 34-year-old wife had not picked up their kids from day care. >> i saw her phone with her headphones because she started running again, and it's -- i found her phone and it's got hair ripped out of it, like in the head phones. so i'm, like, totally freaking out thinking somebody, like, grabbed her. >> reporter: but as the call goes on, keith begins to unravel. >> oh, my god. >> i understand you're freaking out a little bit. we want to make sure we get your kids. >> reporter: 22 days, not a trace. then on thanksgiving day 2016, sherri was found alive on the side of a highway hands in

restraints, long blonde hair cut short. police say she was battered and bruised. >> female needs medical attention. she is heavily battered. it's going to be some sort of assault. >> reporter: in an interview last year, keith told me his wife was almost unrecognizable. >> keith, a couple of times you said, her face. her poor face. what did you see? >> the bruises were just intense. the bumps from, you know, being hit and kicked and whatever else. >> reporter: in a statement to abc news overnight, keith papini told us, we are hopeful the release of additional information by law enforcement enforcement will expedite the capture of sherri's abductors. but this morning, that new information released by the shasta county sheriff's office seems to cast doubt on papini's story. police revealing that in the days prior to her disappearance, sherri had been in an online texting relationship with a man from detroit. planning to meet up with him. that man has since been cleared by police, and these newly

released sketches depict the two women papini claimed were her sole abductors. but unidentified male dna was also found on her clothes. >> all right. thank you to matt gutman. for more now let's bring in abc's news chief legal analyst dan abrams, and dan. it's getting more confusing as we go. these new details raise a lot of concerns. how does this affect the case? >> you've got to ask yourself why are the investigators releasing this information? why are they telling the public that she was involved in some texting relationship before this happened? why are they admitting that there was male dna found when she said there were only two women? that doesn't mean that they don't believe that she was abducted. it doesn't mean that they don't believe her story. but it does mean that they think there may be more to the story. and the more details they can get out potentially the better the tips that they can get. so i think it's really important to read between the lines here in terms of what they're saying to say to yourself, huh. we've got the information, but we think there's more here.

>> are they trying to put pressure on her? >> i don't know if it's pressure on her or just getting more information out there. but it's clear they don't think that they have the entire story from her. >> they're cooperating, though? >> sherri, in particular cooperating. keith totally been cleared. so that's what makes it such a mystery. >> even the branding on the shoulder. >> right. you say how could -- someone wouldn't do it to themselves, et cetera. so many mysteries here. >> all right. want to talk about baseball? who stayed up and watched the game? you stayed up for a little. >> i heard about it. >> you heard about it. >> all 11 innings? >> it did turn into a record-breaking night on the baseball field. the astros coming away with their first ever win in a world series beating the dodgers in the 11th inning and the number of home runs, t.j. knows. he stayed up, and made a little history there, t.j. >> yeah, this is one of the best baseball games you will ever see in your life. >> ever! >> i'm glad you got good sleep. what did you miss last night? you missed drama heroics, the

most home runs we've ever seen in a world series game and the guy being led away in handcuffs for jumping into the astros' bullpen. >> tenth inning, gonzalez. >> reporter: game two of the world series turned into the home run derby. >> it's gone! >> reporter: the houston astros and l.a. dodgers combine for a world series record eight home runs. the astros went long in the ninth. >> it is gone! >> reporter: then jose altuve and carlos correa hit back-to-back homers in the tenth >> al toouf and correa go back to back! >> reporter: to put the astros up by two runs, but just when it seemed the astros were on the verge of winning the first world series game in their franchise history this happened. >> you're going to jail now. >> reporter: a fan jumped into the astros' bullpen creating a ruckus before getting hauled out by security. >> escorting somebody out of

here, i believe, john. >> yeah, somebody got into the pen. i don't know how that happened. >> reporter: a few minutes later the dodgers score on this close play at the plate tying the game at five. >> throw by reddick -- not in time. >> reporter: but before astros fans could worry too much if the bullpen fanatic would be their version of a baseball curse the astros still had one more homer in them. >> it is gone for a home run! >> reporter: george springer's game-winning two-run blast. >> struck him out and the astros win it, 7-6. >> that's why i love this team. there's no quit. >> no quit. >> no quit. >> now you want to be fired up, sleepy head. the series is now 1-1 going to games three, four and five in houston. houston has not lost in the playoffs in houston. so they could wrap it up, last night's game was one of the longest we have seen in world series history, went almost 4 1/2 hours. the game one was one of the shortest. >> because they wanted to -- >> 103 degrees. >> i have not been to sleep yet. can you tell? >> give that man a little more coffee.
