good morning. >> here are some of the top headlines we're going. rudy guiliani drops a bombshell, saying the president paid back attorney michael cohen for the $130,000 he gave to porn star stormy daniels. but the president has denied knowing anything about that payment. we have breaking details coming up. police are investigating the explosion of a barn next to a home in connecticut during a police standoff where a man was reportedly holding his wife hostage. up to eight police officers suffered minor injuries. we're told the wife is ok but no word on the suspect. gusting winds, rain, and tornadoes. 20 confirmed tornadoes have touched down in kansas and oklahoma.

the wind in chicago ripped the roof right off a four-story apartment building. the boy scouts of america is changing their name. the scouts bsa is making a change as it allows girls in to its organization. those are some of our top stories on thursday, may 3rd. we begin in with the stunning admission from one of the president's top lawyers. giuliani now says president trump repaid the money used to pay stormy daniels. >> as you know, rudy guiliani recently joined the president's legal team. here he is on fox news saying that trump funneled the $130,000 to the attorney there, michael cohen, through a law firm. he insists the payment to keep daniels quiet about an alleged affair with the president was perfectly legal. >> the $130,000 payment, the settlement payment, this which

regular thing for lawyers to do, the only possible violation there, was it a campaign finance violation. which usually results in a fine by the way, not being stormtroopers coming in and breaking down his apartment and office. that was money that was paid by his lawyer, the way i would do out of his law firm funds or whatever funds, doesn't matter. and the president reimbursed it over a period of several months. >> the president had previously denied knowing anything about the payment. and cohen claimed it came from his own pocket and that he was never reimbursed. >> so that was a stunning revelation that was made when he went off topic a little bit when answering a question about the russia investigation. the interview took place hours after the reshuffling of the legal team. >> jonathan karl has more. >> reporter: when we first asked, the president was adamant, he'd be more than happy to talk to special counsel robert mueller.

>> would you be willing to speak under ooet? >> 100%. >> reporter: but now a tense standoff, so tense abc news has confirmed mueller told the president's lawyers he could compel the president to testify. raising the possibility of a subpoena. john dowd, until recently the president's lead lawyer tells abc news he fired back, responding "this isn't some game. you are screwing with the work of the president of the united states." dowd has since left the president's legal team and another shakeup. out, ty cobb, the lead white house lawyer dealing with the special counsel, replaced by emit flood, who was one of president clinton's lawyers. >> almost everything that i was brought on to do has been accomplished. >> reporter: cobb employed a strategy of patience. >> cooperation was the right move and definitely the path

that would lead to the quickest resolution. so i hope that they're able to work something out. >> reporter: if special counsel tries to compel the president to testify, it's a battle that would likely go all the we to the supreme court and would be very difficult to win. when richard next sixon tried t fight a subpoena, he lost. so now they are trying to limit the time and scope of any interview with the special counsel, also saying that they would like to note questions in advance. jonathan karl, abc news, the white house. prosecutors and judges are headed to the u.s.-mexico border to deal with the backlog of immigration cases. the justice department says the backlog was worsened with the recent arrival of the so-called caravan. jeff sessions says it is a move as part of a zero tolerance on illegal border crossing.

milwaukee, wisconsin. >> i found this group that was in the middle of it. at one point, someone did pull up with a vehicle and pop out with one of these guns and point it right at me. i wasn't sure for a second what was coming. >> wait. somebody pointed a gun at you? >> they didn't shoot. they did pop out of the car and point a long gun at me. you look over and see that, it's pretty terrifying. that's what a lot of people around the city have experienced. >> and that is the really scary thing. two people have been shot and killed by real bullets in connection with the paintball wars, one of them, a 2-year-old boy hit by a stray bullet. you can hear that later on this morning. check it out on apple podcast. >> thank you. a group of conservative house republicans have nominated president trump for the nobel peace price. president's supporters chanted

high. >> the event was just one of 2,000 college day signing events held all across the country. >> it looked like they pulled out all the stops for this one. >> they did. and good music as well. >> fancy. coming up, get your hats ready, everybody. we are counting down to the kentucky derby. tim laird is here with a special derby day spread. and later we're getting schooled in science. see what's in the mind bending final paper from stephen hawking. you're watching "world news now." hawking. you're watching "world news now." m steven hawking. you're watching "world news now." anif you've got a lifee. you gotta swiffer

watch this. this video just in of an explosion at a jewish festival in london. dozens of people have been injured. it happened when a rabbi attempted to light a bonfire. there's speculation that a smartphone placed in the fire triggered that blast. we're learning new details about the air national guard air cargo plane that went down moments after taking off in savannah, georgia. >> the plane's most recent maintenance was performed last month. it was 60 years old. all nine people on board were killed.

a usually busy road where the plane crashed is closed for weeks as investigators try to determine what went wrong. and we see the lights of a small plane going down near phoenix. it crashed last month on to a golf course and exploded. we're just getting this video now. the six people aboard did not survive. the cause of the crash remains under investigation. two black men arrested for sitting inside a starbucks have reached a settlement with both starbucks and the city of philadelphia. >> they've agreed to a $1 payment each from the city and an undisclosed sum from starbucks. here's the story. >> i think it's the best thing for everyone. >> reporter: the mayor referring to the agreement between the city and the young black men who were taken into custody april 12th for trespassing as they were waiting for a business meeting at this center city starbucks. instead of a lawsuit, the pair has agreed to take a payment of $1 each from the city.

the city agrees to give $200,000 to a youth program. >> the fact that the young men wanted the $1 each and the rest going to a charitable source shows a lot about their character and what they're about. >> reporter: starbucks announced an agreement including a confidential financial settlement. continued dialogue on diversity with former attorney general eric holder and full tuition so they can finish their degrees. outside the starbucks, a mixed reaction. >> i think that the element of providing for education and providing for understanding as a program for the schools also is a great way to make this more than just about, you know, a monetary settlement for these guys. >> i think they should take that money, if they get something from starbucks, they should invest it in something else. >> reporter: in a joint statement, the two men at the

center of the story say they appreciated the opportunity. they ended by saying we recognize the importance of communication about differences and solutions, and that we will be measured by our actions, not our words. in philadelphia, john rawlings for abc news. >> thanks to john in philadelphia. all right. coming up -- break out the bourbon. >> yay! >> our kentucky derby party is next. >> you're watching "world news now." s and zero heartburn. it's been the number 1 doctor recommended brand for 10... ...straight years, and it's still recommended today. use as directed. test test

. [ trumpet ] it's time to break out the hats and mix up a mint julep because the kentucky derby is almost here. >> tim laird is back with david danielson, the executive chef at churchhill downs. >> they have a new book out called the bourbon country cookbook just in time for the 144th kentucky derby. congratulations on the book and thanks for coming by. >> thank you for inviting us. we're happy to be here. chef dave is busy around that time.

how many people do you feed? >> about 160,000-plus people expected. >> you're always invited when you bring booze and food into our house. let's start with the cocktails. >> when you -- i like that. you know the -- when you think of the kentucky derby you've got to have a mint julep. it starts out with a glass of crushed ice. to that i'm going to add about two ounces of woodford reserve, which is the official bourbon. that's my two ounces right there. right there. right to the money. i'm telling you -- and then one ounce of mint simple syrup. that's equal parts of sugar, water, brought together and one part mint. give that a little stir and of course it has to be garnished with a good bouquet of fresh mint.

>> i love that the mint is in the simple syrup, too. >> you can use ice tea if you want no alcohol but a good bouquet of mint when you bring this to your mouth to sip on you get the -- >> you get the smell as well. >> beautiful. >> that mint is -- >> that's great about a sipping draw. it goes all the way down and -- >> i thought this would be too sweet but it's not. >> when you use it with the woodford, you have a great julep. >> let's talk about the food. >> we're going to need to lay a base. >> we sell about 125,000 of these a day. so we have to make sure everybody has food. >> yes, please. >> this is a great sampling of what we're serving in the

millionaires row, the turf club. about 24,000 people sitting in the premium area. >> what's that like over there? >> this is a pimento cheese. it's got bacon and a little pecan. we have a taste for you. here that's our bacon wrapped tenderloin. >> bacon wrapped tenderloin? >> we've slow roasted it and served it with a sauce called a henry baines sauce. it was invented at a club in louisville. we serve that with our tenderloin, our new york strip. >> hey! >> why not! >> it's derby -- everybody's derby -- >> steak sauce on a pimento cheese sandwich. >> this is a good combination.

>> yeah. there we've got a little -- that's a little bourbon, chocolate bourbon pecan bites. no derby would be complete without sweets and dessert. we make about 35,000 pieces of dessert for everybody. so again, this is just a sampling of some of the incredible food we've got. >> most people are smart enough to know not to put the steak sauce on the dessert? >> you see something new every year. >> depends on how many juleps you have. >> maybe just -- here. you need more julep, that's all. >> terrible idea. but we're excited about the book. you can find it -- >> are these recipes in there? >> absolutely. about 95-plus recipes. we have some cocktails, stories

about bourbon country, things about southern entertaining. it's very easy. amazon, wherever books are sold. collaboration between the executive chef and myself. >> i love how you guys did this. >> it was a labor of love and a lot of eating. >> these are delicious without steak sauce. >> that's how we recommend it. >> you said that's good on everything. >> well -- >> that's why tim makes the drinks and i take care of the food. >> well, thank you guys for coming and hanging out with us, bringing us cocktails and food. we're happy to post all of these recipes. >> happy derby. this is what i get for eating. >> we'll be right back. have more of the julep. >> cheers. >> cheers.

so observations we make our viewpoint will be meaningful in development of our ideas of how other universes are emerged. >> ok. >> yeah. that's a -- >> i got it. you got it? i got it. >> basically stephen hawking went out dropping the mic. >> here's new stuff to think about, everything else is a lie. go. on to a new study pertaining to native settlers. original native americans consisted of just 250 people. >> 250 people. >> before they started moving around everywhere. the new study analyzes dna from regions along the path of migration. they looked at samples from china, siberian groups, native american groups, looking back 15,000 years. they found that native americans came from alaska. of course population grew by millions.

but started with just 250. >> could it be that they started out with 250,000 people and the rest couldn't make it, couldn't survive the trek? >> it said 250 people. >> that's amazing. all right. so scientists have definitively found the longest straight line that can be drawn. say, if you're theoretically sailing without land. >> oh. oh. >> ok. so it is 19,940 miles. it is from the coast of pakistan all the way through madagascar and africa to the northeastern shores of russia. >> ok. so if we want a long boat ride, that's where we're going. >> exactly. >> we've got to dumb this down a little bit, can we? my head hurts. let's check out a dog on a medicine ball. that's science right there. >> he's got a blue ball. >> oh, boy. the hair and makeup team just lost their mind.

. this morning on "world news now," the payment and the porn star. >> rudy guiliani, the president's lawyer, said the president compensated his lawyer for the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels. that contradicts both the president and the lawyer who made the payment. also, the military plane crash captured on camera. the massive cargo plane plunging to the ground with members of the national guard on board. everyone killed. we'll have the latest. and storms up to the northeast, the dangerous system packs a powerful punch with heavy rain and damaging wind. we'll have the accuweather forecast live. let's hope paul williams is wearing this. now you can match your ikea furniture with your clothes.

where do we sign up? it is thursday -- >> that's a good one. >> oh, wow. may 3rd. >> from abc news this is "world news now." >> i want to be in that pitch meeting. i have an idea. they're suits that match your couch. >> and my question would be what were you smoking before you came up with that? >> we're enjoying the photos. we're going to delve a little deeper into the idea. but we're going to start things off with the bombshell from the president's legal team in the case of stormy daniels. >> the president's new attorney rudy guiliani said trump reimbursed the $130,000 payment. it was paid before the election. the interview appears to contradict cohen.

and the president said he knew nothing about the payment. >> everybody -- everybody was nervous about this from thing. i wasn't. i knew how much donald trump put into the campaign. 130,000. when i heard cohen's retainer of 35,000 when he was doing no work for the president. i said that's how he's repaying him. >> do you know the president didn't know about this? i believe that's what michael said. >> he didn't know about the specifics of it, as far as i know. he knew about the general arrangement. michael would take care of things like this. >> guiliani insists it was not campaign money and there were no campaign finance violations. guiliani told reporters the president was pleased with his comments and he does not expect to be fired. the interesting legal point will be to determine if the payments were made personally --

>> yeah. >> -- by trump in order to, say, keep an affair from his wife or something along those lines or if the payment was made to preserve his election when that payment was made. the latter can be considered a campaign contribution in which case -- >> it's way more than is allowed by law. >> a campaign finance violation. >> if the president himself made the contribution to his campaign, he can do that at $130,000. he can put whatever he wants into the campaign. >> an interesting twist to the story. >> the reporter, robert costa from the washington post, said that apparently rudy and the president talked about this revelation some five days ago. this was a calculated thing. >> uh-huh. >> supposedly. we'll see. >> yeah. because a lot of people are wondering, is rudy going to be in trouble for contradicting the president? >> yeah. >> this was all part of the conversation.

also breaking overnight, an explosion that injured at least eight officers in connecticut. >> officers were engaged in a standoff with a suspect when a barn exploded. it happened near a home where the suspect was apparently holding his wife hostage for three days. she managed to escape before the explosion. the officers' injuries are said to be minor. no word on the condition of the suspect or whereabouts. to georgia. in this scene outside the savannah airport where an air national guard cargo plane slammed into a busy road. none of the nine on board survived. the debris field stretches about 600 feet. investigators are starting their work to find out what caused all of this to happen. abc news steve osunsami is on the scene. >> reporter: this is a military c-1230 falling out of the sky, nosedived to the ground.

>> there was a military jet crash across both lanes of the road. black smoke. >> the plane missed crashing into the savannah international airport. >> holy [ bleep ]. all right. time to get out of here. >> reporter: it came down over busy roads and train tracks nearby, knocking out power to the area. >> it is an absolute miracle that it didn't hit any cars. at that time of day and at that intersection. >> authorities report that nine service members on board are dead and were on their way to arizona flying a 60-year-old plane into retirement. >> anytime we lose any of our brothers or sisters in arms, it's devastating and something we never like to have happen. >> roads in and around the airport are still closed and could be closed for weeks as military investigators try to figure out what went wrong. >> because a four-engine

airplane dropped out of the sky on a bright sunny day, they're going to be looking at mechanical problems. this is a real mystery that something so reliable could have had such a catastrophic ending. >> reporter: the plane belongs to the puerto rico national guard. and was a lifeline to the caribbean during last year's devastating hurricane season, delivering food and generators to families in need. authorities are working to make this area safe for investigators. just to give you an idea of the lay of the land, behind me is the crash site. to my right is a gas station. had this plane fallen a few feet in a different direction we could be talking about an even bigger explosion. steve osunsami, abc news, georgia. >> all right. thanks, steve. southwest airlines in the meantime says a window that cracked mid flight was just inspected last month. passengers said they heard a pop and saw this jagged crack in the window. it's not what you want to see on board. their chicago-to-newark flight landed safely in cleveland.

pilots did not declare an emergency and no one on board was injured. the plane is now out of service. the cracked window follows an engine failure on another southwest flight resulting in a broken window and the death of a passenger. six months after the worst mass shooting in history we are seeing newly released body cam images from the s.w.a.t. team. it shows them making its way through the mandalay bay hotel. matt gutman has the details. >> reporter: the video showed the swat team huddled in the hallway. no sense of what they may find. >> breach breach breach. all right. >> reporter: a body camera revealing what they found. >> i think it might be a camera. >> reporter: the officers ginger ly entering the hotel suite of the deadliest mass shooter in u.s. history. the team surveying the scene, those high-powered rifles

resting on a chair. 23 guns ultimately found, thousands of rounds of ammunition. by the time officers arrived at the 32nd floor, creeping down the hallway, dripping with sweat, going low behind their shields. >> take a deep breath. >> reporter: paddock was already dead. he shot himself after gunning down 58 innocent people and wounded hundreds at the concert playing out down below. what's most striking about seeing the first three hours of this body camera footage is how much time elapses. we see the officers going floor to floor methodically. we see them breach the wrong rooms and more than six months after the attack, we still don't have a final police report, no timeline and no firm understanding of why stephen paddock did this. matt gutman, los angeles. we're tracking stormy weather affecting 25 million people.

>> severe storm and tornado watches extend from texas to wisconsin. it includes hail, rain, and twisters. >> the twisters touching down in kansas and oklahoma. at least 20 reported so far with mostly minor damage. >> the threat is not over in kansas city. last night sirens blared across downtown. paul williams is joining us live with the details. good morning, paul. >> good morning to both you of you. we're watching out for severe thunderstorms with the possibility of tornadic activity, damaging hail as well as the possibility of flash flooding. that's another level of concern. this is going to reach towards dallas, tulsa towards little rock, kansas city and peoria. not only there but the great lakes region. another round of severe storms throughout western portions of new york. with that being the case, we still have warm conditions along the eastern seaboard.
