he was not invited to attend the summit so he won't be there, amy. >> that is good to know. it is a very busy next few days. before singapore he is headed to the g7 this morning, a meeting with america's allies that looks to be anything but friendly. >> reporter: yeah, this is turning out to be really ugly. our closest allies like france and canada are publicly bashing president trump in a fight over tariffs and he is now firing back in a series of tweets just lashing out. in one of them he called canada's justin trudeau indignant. all of this is happening just hours before he's supposed to sit down for what will probably be very awkward face-to-face meetings and we have just found out that the president is now planning to leave the g7 early. >> all right. making his way to singapore, cecilia, thank you very much. michael. >> thank you, amy. when the president does leave the g7 meeting tomorrow morning, he's headed straight to singapore for the summit with kim jong-un. let's bring in our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz who is tracking this in south korea. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, michael. the logistics of this summit

have been worked on for weeks. who will sit where. who walks in the room first. from what we know it will be a small group seated at the table with president trump and kim jong-un. the summit location on sentosa island was chosen in part for security reasons because it is an island who comes and goes, can be tightly monitored. president trump, of course, will have a huge secret service contingent and kim jong-un will have layers of protection. when kim crossed over here into south korea last month for meetings on the dmz his bodyguards were seen running alongside the car. those bodyguards, members of an elite protection detail, highly trained and hand picked, not only for loyalty but physical appearance. no blemishes allowed. those guards reportedly separated from their families at an early age to dedicate themselves to the supreme leader. this will be the farthest kim

has ever traveled as leader and every precaution is being taken just as it is for president trump. michael. >> thank you so much, martha. a lot of eyes on that. george will anchor abc's coverage of the summit from north korea live starting this sunday. paula. the first lady melania trump trump. public and unprecedented pushback from melania's camp over comments that rudy giuliani made about her thoughts on the president and stormy daniels. this coming on the heels of very public and unprecedented pushback over comments that rudy giuliani made.

spokeswoman offered this, i don't believe mrs. trump has ever discussed her thoughts on anything with mr. giuliani. president trump did end up paying $130,000 to keep daniels quiet about her alleged affair. after weeks out of the public eye, melania emerged on wednesday, appearing in front of the cameras alongside her husband. >> thank you, melania. she went through a little roug patch but she's doing great. >> reporter: i was just last month when the president said giuliani will, quote, get his facts straight after giuliani appeared to contradict trump about hush money paid to stormy daniels. now it appeals rudy giuliani may have gotten out of it again over his latest comments. michael. >> thank you. now to that medical mystery, americans working at a u.s. consulate in china getting sick, facing symptoms typical of traumatic brain injury. abc's james longman is tracking all of this from london.

there are concerns that this could be a type of attack. >> reporter: that's right, amy. this is a very strange case. it's a crisis affecting the biggest u.s. consulate in china with americans there apparently suffering from a mystery illness. workers and their families in the southern city there say they're experiencing dizziness, headaches, fatigue and tinnitus. one described it as marbles being rolled around inside a tunnel. the state department says they're the kind of things caused by a concussion or minor traumatic brain injury. several americans have been evacuated now to the u.s. for evaluation and this case gets even more strange because as you say these complaints are similar to what happened in cuba in 2016 when 24 americans at the u.s. embassy in havana fell ill with similar symptoms and that's still being investigated. the big question, is this just an illness or a deliberate attack? if so, who is responsible? the chinese are saying they have absolutely no idea what is causing all this. they say an investigation into the first reported illness in

may came up with nothing and they're prepared to launch another one and work with the u.s. to find out what's going on. amy. >> bizarre and frightening. james longman, thank you very much for that. paula. >> now to that arizona police force accused of using excessive force after several incidents were caught on tape. the unarmed black man seen in this violent beating is now telling his side of the story as mesa police release video of yet another confrontation, this time involving a 15-year-old. abc's marcus moore has the story. >> reporter: this morning, the unarmed black man seen in the surveillance video being beaten by police speaking out for the first time. >> i want mesa to be held accountable for what they have done. >> reporter: mesa police releasing body cam videos showing their response to a domestic abuse at an apartment complex where they engaged robert johnson and his friend on may 23rd. watch as the friend complies with police. >> grab a seat. grab a seat. >> reporter: but johnson ignores

the officers' request to sit down. >> i ain't gonna ask you again. >> reporter: police say he took a defiant stance against the wall so they move in and the fists start flying until he goes limp, putting him in a headlock and ultimately taking him to the ground where they handcuffed him. >> you didn't need to put all that force on me. >> reporter: this is not the first time the mesa pd has been criticized for their use of force. >> this is a culture issue, a police culture issue that has to change. >> reporter: this morning new body camera video just released shows officers attempting to arrest a 15-year-old suspected of armed robbery. >> you try and move on me one more time, i'm going to [ bleep ] you up. you understand that? >> reporter: the officers claim he has a gun but he is unarmed. >> where is the gun? >> no gun! officer, call my parents. i'm sorry. i don't have no gun. >> reporter: place say it was found in i backpack near. there was this incident in february, an 84-year-old grandmother left bruised. this blurred body camera showing an officer grabbing her by the arm and bringing her to the ground. police say they were trying to protect her as they responded to

a call about a man armed with a gun. and in response to that incident at the apartment complex, the police chief in mesa, arizona has issued a special order, prohibiting his police officers from hitting anyone in the face, head or neck unless that person is aggressive towards the police officers. also the chief is expected to hold a news conference later today to discuss this incidents. now to that history-making win, the washington capitals taking home the stanley cup. it is the team's first championship ever and abc's gio benitez is here with all the action. the city and the team -- excited is an understatement. >> they had a good night, michael. good morning. the washington capitals joined the league in 1974, 44 years ago, and they hadn't won a stanley cup until last night. >> the capitals have won it. >> reporter: for the first time in history the stanley cup is

we are back we are back now with the big game, tonight the golden state warriors are going for the nba title trying to close out the cavs and the sweep and take home the championship and if the cavs lose tonight, it could be lebron's final game playing for his hometown team. abc's t.j. holmes is there in cleveland and as always, t.j., you've got it all covered. >> reporter: hey, stra, take a good look, man. it's a hard thing to imagine, we could see something for the last time on this floor and that's lebron james being in a cavs jersey. we could see it for the last time here. of course, the fans here, it's one thing to have to deal with the fact that you lose a championship but they're now contending with the possibility of losing lebron james again. down 3-0. >> golden state with an impressive come from behind win. >> reporter: the cleveland cavaliers are gearing up for what could be another heartbreaking loss.

its first nba championship two years later, the fans have embraced him. and for at least one more game james is standing with them. all right. so what do we know about what lebron james is going to do? strahan, i can confirm we know nothing. lebron james keeps a very tight group of folks around him. he said i'm not going to talk about this out of respect for my team, the city and for the season, so he has not hinted at all. plenty of speculation and people can put numbers over which ones could afford him or put together a good championship contender as well but he hasn't given a single hint about where he might go or what he might do. >> t.j., seems so solemn with you in that big arena alone. >> such honest reporting and we appreciate that. >> reporter: yeah, they have the black shirts out here. it's kind of a somber mood to

celebrate what he's done for this city. no, but it's the talk of the town, it's not about a championship, it's kind of a foregone conclusion that the warriors will win so the thought now what is going to happen with lebron, that is going to be the talk as soon as this series is over. >> all right, thank you so much, t.j. and maybe they could pull off a miracle and win four in a row. you could see game four of the eastern rire oght heab coming up next kelly clarkson revealing the health issue behind her 40-pound weight loss, the diet and lifestyle changes she is making and, everybody, get ready to party. we have a huge crowd out in central park. r&b superstar knee ne-yo performing live. stay with us. coming up, "gma's" summer concert series sponsored by king's hawaiian foods. irresistible since 1950.

cnn released a statement moments ago calling him a unique storyteller because of his love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world. bourdain was a chef first, but known for his trailblazing food and travel shows. he was an advocate, a philanthropist, an author. he campaigned for those who worked in restaurants, for safer working conditions. he received practically every industry award there is. he has been called one of the most influential chefs in the world, the original rockstar of the culinary world, and he leaves behind a young daughter. this news rocking the world because it's just days after the reports of kate spade's passing with the same cause of death. in his shows he's known for having conversations, sitting down and breaking bread with presidents, rock stars, and

people in cities all around the globe. it makes you wonder if he had a talk about a when he was going through in the moments and days leading up to this. >> there are so many questions, adrienne. thank you so much. we move on to a remarkable young man. you might remember him, when he was 15 he stood up in a florida church and begged for a family to adopt him. his plea work. he was adopted and now davion is officially a high school graduate. not only did he get his diploma last night, he got a scholarship. he has a message for teens everywhere who are in foster care. take a look. >> if you are in foster, don't let the system decide what you do in life. i mea i made it through. now i'm on the other side kind of. not done but i am on the other side. >> he says he's studying to be a chef. he was adopted in 2015 after 17 years in foster care. i love his message of never give up and there's more to come. >> and a reminder that there are so many kids in foster care looking for a permanent home.

we do want to welcome you we do want to welcome you back. we'll begin with our "gma" cover story as we learn more about anthony bourdain's death, kate spade's father is speaking out about their family's tragic loss and new numbers out from the cdc show a dramatic increase in the number of americans dying by suicide. abc's deborah roberts is here with more on this growing mental health crisis, deborah, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, paula. so many reeling from another shocking death, this time as you say cnn's anthony bourdain reportedly a suicide on the heels of the death of kate spade. well, for so long there has been caution around public discussion of suicide. some medical experts fearing it could lead to a contagion of sorts. the tragic growing problem getting even worse, but today kate spade's father as you say is speaking out trying to help those who are vulnerable. as they grapple with the despair the why and how, kate spade's family seems determined to make her sudden and inexplicable death a teachable moment for others hurting.

spade's father in his grief telling "the kansas city star" one thing we feel is any talk they do that helps somebody else katy would have liked that. sho wag -- she was always giving and charitable. if that helped anybody avoid anything, fine, she'd be delighted. her husband of 24 years andrew confirming his wife was battling depression and anxiety for years but fashion observers realize she wasn't alone. in 2014 designer loren scott also took her life. reportedly, she too was battling depression. experts say it's time for a serious discussion about mental illness and the toll it takes, particularly on women. >> depression has been called the invisible disease because there's not an x-ray we can do. there is not a blood test we can do so it is so prevalent and yet still so underrecognized. >> reporter: suicide rates among women due to emotional distress is on the rise. according to a brand-new report from the cdc released just thursday, women with mental health issues such as depression

or anxiety were nearly twice as likely to resort to taking their own lives. and though the report cites many factors, relationship problems ranked most often at 42%. >> feelings of isolation, abandonment and guilt are big drivers of suicide. and that's why it's so imptant to diagnose it early and to treat it. >> reporter: an urgent conversation moving out of the shadows this morning, cdc experts cautioning that suicide isn't strictly a mental health issue since half of those who take their lives hadn't been diagnosed. so the big warning, if you know someone who has recently had a big or traumatic change in their life or appears to be feeling isolated, begin a conversation, help them find support. as the spade family suggests, let her tragedy help save lives. paula. >> all right, deborah. thank you. dr. jennifer hartstein joins us right now. we saw the numbers from the cdc.

this is a crisis. they're calling their own data disturbing but we know the rates have climbed dramatically, more suicides in 2016 than car accidents and homicides and now in light of kate spade we know it disproportionately affects middle-aged women but now with the news of anthony bourdain it is affecting everyone. >> suicide affects everybody across the board, and we know that men have three times as many completed suicides. women attempt more but men tend to complete more. most of the time it's because of the lethality of their means. it's like one every ten minutes so in the united states it's the tenth leading cause of death. more than homicide. more than other things. it is a crises. it's something, and i'm so glad we're able to talk about it in light of these tragedies because we need to address the stigma and open the conversation so people don't feel the shame about it and can ask for help. >> right, and we in the media need to be mindful of how we are covering suicides. we saw after robin williams' suicide rates went up 10%. we know kate spade reportedly

was infatuated with his suicide as well. how can we be mindful as members of the media in how we are covering suicide because there's something known as suicide contagion. >> so that is something we have to worry about, and historically we've looked at this with young people, with teens and the neighborhood. if it happens in a school how it affects the other teenagers. i think we missed the boat thinking about it with adults. we have to think about what language are we using? are we glamorizing the idea that their lives were so challenging that this was their only way out or sharing information that doesn't need to be shared. case in point, the discussion of what kate might have said to her daughter. that's not information we all need to be sharing and i think in the media we need to share how do you access help? what are the resources for tem because you have a platform to do that. >> really quickly, we know there aren't always warning signs but what are the clear-cut warning signs? >> increase in depression, just in depression and sadness, change in behavior, maybe there is some giving away of personal belongings saying good-bye or

just flat out talk about death. take all of that seriously, and don't be afraid to ask if they are thinking about suicide. you're not giving them the idea if it's already there. >> thank you for having what is a testify conversation this morning. if you or someone you know needs help we encourage you foe please call the suicide prevention lifeline on the bottom of our screen. now we want to switch gears and we'll send things over to michael who is in central park. hi there, michael. >> hey, paula, thank you very much. i finally made it to the park. we have a great turnout here for ne-yo, everybody here is excited to see him. but they're also excited for some "pop news" and lara is here with that. lara, what you got popping? >> friday edition, michael strahan. very excited for that. we begin with this. alex strahan -- alex rodriguez, i called him alex strahan. >> i like that. >> long lost brother. a-rod, a baseball superstar, one

credit. telling his fans, quote, many of you have been very gracious and complimentary about my analysis on fox pregame. i guess it's time everybody learned my secret. who knew, you guys? you can watch by the way j. lo on "good morning america" right here on monday. you can bet we will ask her about her star student. very quick study. >> i think he knew about analytics before. >> i think he knew about it. i think she helped. when she's here on monday i wonder if she knows about football. maybe she can help me. >> she's good. you got to admit. >> very good. >> i love that. also in "pop news" this morning one of america's favorite restaurants is inexplicably changing its name. the international house of pancakes has been known as ihop for short for the past 45 years. now changing its name to ihob with a "b" not saying what the "b" stands for. it's telling its throngs of online fans it will be revealed

right after the weekend on monday. it's asking social media users what they think the "b" stands for. so far bacon the top choice followed by an outlier if i would say so, barnacles. i hope it's not that. i don't know. i'm guessing breakfast, not barnacles but we will find out. >> ihob doesn't roll off the tongue like ihop. >> and they're more than just breakfast. >> they are. well, some people think it's burgers. some think the "b" could be barbecue. somebody said blueberries. i don't think that. >> it's an american mainstay. >> it will be solved on monday. >> as long as they don't stop serving breakfast. >> give me those pancakes. finally country time lemonade also in the news taking a stand if you will against kids getting squeezed for an all-american tradition, running lemonade stands. turns to it some towns -- i did not know this -- will not allow these kids to have these stands. they've been fined for not having the correct permits so country time has come to the rescue.

they have launched legal-ade, a-d-e. if you're fined its team of lawyers will review your case and if appropriate pay your fine up to $300. here's what country time has to say. >> if you have a problem with your lemonade stand the offices of country time legal-ade -- >> are ready to take a stand for you. >> tastes like justice. >> tastes like justice. country time says on its site when life hands you outdated laws make lemonade and get legal-ade. i think it's a great idea. >> brilliant. >> nice marketing campaign. >> very brilliant marketing. hopefully it will help people set up those lemonade stands. thank you, lara spencer. now to kelly clarkson. she's opening up about her recent dramatic weight loss. the superstar said a health issue led to some big changes in her lifestyle and her diet. abc's erielle reshef is here with the story. good morning to you, erielle. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. kelly clarkson has been open

>> taking control of her life. >> there you go. >> thank you so much. now we're going to go over to rob. >> all right, michael. what a crowd we've got here. they're all psyched for ne-yo in the front, in the back. a lot just waiting staring at that stage waiting for ne-yo to come on board. where are you from? >> tennessee. >> tennessee. i mean they're from all over the country. beautiful tennessee-like weather hi there, i'm abc 7 news meteorologist mike nicco. our coolest afternoon move ahead will be tomorrow. we've got that heat wave brewing next week. clouds are gathering along the coast, keeping new the low 60s. mid-60s in sat fran. low to mid-70s around the bay. 80s inland. tonight, milder with cloud cover, mid- to upper 50s. my accuweather seven-day forecast, three-day heat wave starting monday.

and now to our beauty from the inside out series. i'm here with dermatologist and also the author of "the beauty of dirty skin" dr. whitney bowe who says it's not what you put on your face but what you put in your body. this morning we're talking probiotics and protein powders to get that flawless complexion. it's a very interesting way to think about it. you are what you eat. >> most people think about probiotics in the context of gut health and digestion but promising new studies show that they might also pay a role not only in our overall health but in the health of our skin so the way i think about it, it's all about the balance of bacteria in our guts so really you want to maintain this delicate balance because if one bug starts to overgrow and dominate, that can cause problems. now our diet, the supplements we take, they can all affect this delicate balance and our goal, amy, is to boost the number and diversity of bacteria and starve those bacteria that might be starting to take over.

>> all right, so what do you look for when buying probiotics? there's a lot on the market. >> not all probiotics are created equal. different strains serve different purposes and some probiotics are simply more effective based on the way that they're formulated so based on my research, based on my knowledge, there's some key elements to consider so first has to do with diversity so i always say the more strains, the better. i tell people to look for strains, probiotics that contain more than ten strains, but the other thing to keep in mind is delivery so these probiotics, they need to survive all the way down to the small intestine which is where they need to go. that's where they work their magic, but where do they stop first? in the stomach, so imagine that this beaker has our stomach gastric juices and our enzymes. now, typical probiotics that are unprotected, they're going to get in there and going to break down, they're not going to survive. they're not going to make it to the small intestine so i tell patients look for the words delayed release capsule on the label.

>> that's very good. another thing that you talk about, protein powders. what are their advantages and what should we look for? >> a lot of my patients are not getting enough protein in their diet and you need it for healthy skin, hair and nails. ideally you're getting it from food but if you know you're not getting enough from food, these protein powders are super convenient because you can literally take a scoop, you throw it in a shaker bottle, you can add water, you can add milk, you can put it in a smoothie, shake it up. head out the door. it's real easy, but the catch is, amy, the majority of these powders are made with something called whey. w-h-e-y. it's a milk protein and small studies have linked it with acne and inflammation. >> so you got to be carefu what's in them. >> i say toss the whey and go for the plant-based protein powder. >> grool having >> dr. whitney bowe, thank you and ne-yo is next. o is next.
