why scarlett johansson is under fire for the role she's taking on. why so many are outraged. ♪ we are family and insta-adoption. the way this couple used instagram to grow their family. the new trend bringing hope to parents this morning. ♪ get up everybody and sing good morning, america. great to have you with us on this friday morning and we have a lot of news to get to this morning. >> we certainly do. we, of course, are anxiously watching that cave rescue in thailand. this new drone video just in. you can see there, it shows rescuers making their way to the cave where those 12 boys and their coach are still trapped. we are now on day 14 of this. >> and then we have new images showing inside that cave as rescuers try to reach them. and then sadly, that tragedy from overnight, a former navy s.e.a.l. running out of oxygen. now the race to get them out more urgent than ever and abc's james longman is on the scene

in thailand with the very latest. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, amy. as you said a real tragedy. this camp waking up to this news this morning. the man who died was young, he was fit, he was a former navy s.e.a.l. and i think it really just underlines how dangerous this cave is because by contrast those boys are inexperienced, they're weak. and as you say, they've been in there for 14 days. overnight, a terrifying development in the cave, the first fatality of the increasingly dangerous mission to rescue those 12 boys and their soccer coach. a former thai navy s.e.a.l. killed while bringing air tanks to staging areas along the planned escape route. authorities say the 38-year-old who had rejoined the s.e.a.l.s solely to help in the search died from lack of oxygen. his dive partner finding him unconscious in the water during the one-mile swim from where the boys are stranded back to the operation base in cave three. a treacherous trek where teams

must shimmy along ropes slipping through narrow passageways in the places where they must dive near zero visibility and fierce currents await. and new video this morning shows that even in areas not fully submerged, helmets bob just above the water with barely enough room for rescuers' heads below the ceilings, as they use ropes to pull themselves through the cave. the rescue diver's death sent shock waves through the camp underlining to everyone just how much danger those boys are in as they continue to pump billions of gallons of water out of that cave. we now know waiting for the water to recede on its own is not an option. authorities confirming the boys have a limited amount of time before they run out of oxygen. the large number of rescuers in and out of the cave also using up the usable air supply. >> maybe one or two days and storm is coming. there's a big problem with the flood in the cave. >> so will they move them before the storm? >> yes. >> definitely? >> yes.

>> reporter: still the thai navy s.e.a.l.s are hopeful, posting a promise on facebook writing today you get some good rest. we will complete the mission for you. those s.e.a.l.s keeping the faith but with a storm front moving in and oxygen running out, this rescue has never been more desperate. amy? >> james longman, we appreciate it. thank you. we turn to matt gutman who is also in thailand and you spoke with some of those boys' teammates who did not go into the cave. >> reporter: that's right. but first i just want to give you a sense of where we are. that soccer field behind me is where this team used to practice a couple of times a week. and it's also from where they left on that ill-fated trip to the cave. now you can see behind me it's where two helicopters are based here as a landing pad for those rescue choppers behind me. those team members said they were only not in the cave with their friends right now in the cold and damp because one got sick and the other was up all night watching the world cup. but what is chilling about this is that they say they have been

in that cave multiple times, one of them going three miles in farther than those boys are right now. and literally in those very same caverns. but they always seem to come out. one thing i mentioned is that they would stay in there for six hours at a time. sometimes with flashlights and food and water. but they said they were never afraid inside, not of the bats, not of the dark, because they were with their coach. they said they trusted him with their lives. but perhaps what's most chilling about this, amy, is that sometimes these kids said they wouldn't even tell their parents where they were going. >> wow, matt, let's talk about that coach. because some people say technically he is the one who put those boys' lives in danger. and now we understand there could be some ramifications for him when they come out of that cave. >> reporter: that's right. local authorities are now saying that they're considering charging him with endangering those kids. and at this point, we don't know what impact the death of that navy s.e.a.l. could have on this future investigation. but so many people here in thailand rallying around him saying he deserves a reprieve

because, after all, he has kept those kids alive for 14 days now. amy? >> all right, matt gutman, so many people around the world hoping for everyone's safe return. thank you. michael? >> thank you, amy. now to those wildfires that are raging out west. the number is growing. at least 66 active fires are burning. eight in colorado alone. you see those massive flames there and abc's clayton sandell is on the ground. and, clayton, thousands of firefighters are battling these flames this morning. >> reporter: that's right and this morning officials are warning that some hot, dry weather could mean some very tough days ahead for firefighters. in northern california overnight, a 5,000-acre blaze burning structures and shutting down interstate 5. in utah, the dollar ridge fire destroying 90 homes so far. 1,000 more threatened. in colorado north of aspen a 5200-acre blaze that began at a shooting range engulfed three homes including one belonging to a volunteer firefighter.

>> flames are like 300 feet tall. >> reporter: andy and bill mcauley were hoping the home where they build 32 years of memories would be spared. >> at 12:30 you could still see the lights on in the house and when i came back at 5:30 this morning -- >> no lights. >> it was on the ground. >> it's gone. it's just a chimney. >> reporter: to the south firefighters are making progress on colorado's third largest wildfire ever. the spring creek fire charring 161 square miles, seven times the size of manhattan. and twisting through the smoke of another colorado fire, this rare mountain tornado. the sheriff here road blocks will still up until it's safe enough to let people in. but right now, there is no word on when that will be. michael? >> all right, thank you so much, clayton. as those fires rage, 30 million americans in the southwest are on alert for excessive heat making it even more challenging to contain the flames.

ginger is tracking all of that. good morning to you, ginger. >> good morning, michael. records could be broken today and that is the other thing you can run into. that would be a dust storm. you see that crawling across near chandler, arizona. this is what it looks like inside when the monsoon moisture comes through, the thunderstorms kick up that dust. and it's a whole other threat on top of the wildfire. extreme heat and heat dome that settled into place will be the hottest in the stretch. but it's a very hot stretch itself. 120 death valley. 111 las vegas. 112 phoenix. these are actual air temperatures. red flag warnings go up into the cascades because we have gusty wind to 40 to 45 miles an hour. even in the northern rockies we'll see some of these wildfire conditions worsen going into the weekend. guys? >> oh, boy. >> going to be a hot one. ginger, thanks. we want to turn now to president trump. that fiery rally in montana overnight where he mocked the me too movement. no mention of his ousted epa chief, scott pruitt, who resigned on thursday, facing at

least a dozen ethics investigations. our chief white house correspondent jon karl has the latest from washington. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. president trump said it was entirely scott pruitt's decision to leave. but it is clear that the president had grown weary of the constant drumbeat of pruitt's scandals. president trump fired up his supporters in montana, going after the independence day protester at the statue of liberty. >> you saw that clown yesterday on the statue of liberty. you see the guys that went up there. i wouldn't have done it. >> reporter: a familiar attack against his potential 2020 rival senator elizabeth warren. >> pocahontas, they always want me to apologize for saying it. to the fake pocahontas, i won't. >> reporter: and he went further saying warren should take a dna test. making light of the me too movement for victims of sexual assault. >> we're in the me too generation. so i have toe and we will very gently take that kit and we will slowly toss

it hoping doesn't hit her and injure her arm. >> reporter: warren hit back on twitter. while you obsess over my genes, your administration is conducting dna tests on little kids because you ripped them from their mamas. maybe you should focus on fixing the lives you're destroying. trump revved up his base on the same day one conservative favorite, epa administrator scott pruitt, announced his resignation. in his resignation letter, pruitt said he was resigning because of the unrelenting attacks on him and his family. pruitt was facing at least 12 separate government investigations. one controversy, the story abc news broke earlier this year about pruitt's $50 a night apartment rental on capitol hill from the wife of a lobbyist. >> this was like an airbnb situation. >> reporter: pruitt was repeatedly accused of using his position for person benefit. he used 43,000 taxpayer dollars to install a soundproof phone

booth in his government office. he routinely took first class fights and spent more than $36,000 for flights aboard a military jet. he once reached out to the ceo of chick-fil-a trying to secure a franchise for his wife. trump didn't mention pruitt by name in his rally last night. but he did tell reporters aboard air force one that pruitt had done a, quote, outstanding job as epa administrator, many in congress simply disagree with that, cecilia. there were at least 170 members of congress, including many republicans, who had called for pruitt's resignation. >> yeah, jon, even people in the president's own inner circle wondering why it took this long. the president ever the tv producer announcing he will make his supreme court pick announcement in prime time? >> reporter: this is a classic donald trump move. he's going to do a 9:00 p.m. unveiling of his new supreme court nominee, 9:00 p.m. monday prime time address introducing his new supreme court pick. >> we will be watching, jon, thank you. amy? >> all right, cecilia.

now to the latest on that battle at the border. overnight, more parents and children reuniting as the government faces that court ordered deadline but a startling revelation. we are now learning there may be even more families who were separated than we previously thought. and abc's gio benitez is here with the latest on that. good morning, gio. >> reporter: good morning. you're about to see one of the first videos capturing a reunion between a mother and her daughter. this, after a judge ruled that the government must reunite families by the end of the month. >> oh. >> reporter: this morning, a tearful reunion for a mother and her 8-year-old daughter. [ sobbing ] >> reporter: 55 days they reportedly spent apart. the little girl taken from her mom after they crossed the border. citing abuse and domestic violence in their native guatemala. [ speaking a foreign language ]

>> reporter: even bystanders in the room tearing up in this video airing on cnn. this, as cameras capture more of those rare family reunions. hhs now saying there are even more children separated than first reported. 3,000 children remaining in the government's care. that number considerably higher than the roughly 2,000 previously reported by hhs. secretary alex azar revealing the new numbers yesterday during a call with reporters describing this situation as unprecedented and promising the resulting reunification will be as compassionate a process as it possibly can be. the administration grappling with the court-mandated deadline requiring families to be reunited by july 26th. but this morning, no word on how all of those families will be reunited in less than three weeks. immigration experts have long said there is no centralized system keeping track of these families. but the secretary insists that

they know where all of these parents and their children are right now. aiall uny w >> all right. well, we sure hope they reach that deadline. thank you very much, gio. and now to the trade war between the u.s. and china, fi t morntepresident trump's tariffs on $34 billion worth of chinese goods went into effect at 12:01 a.m. our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is here with more on how this could impact the american consumer. good morning, rebecca. >> hey, michael, good morning. this has gone from a war of words into the biggest trade battle the u.s. has been in since the great depression. overnight, we slapped tariffs on $34 billion worth of chinese goods. china immediately hit back with its own tariffs, calling this the largest trade war in history. so where does that leave us now? u.s. tariffs are on chinese machinery, motors, and other components. that could have serious consequences for u.s. companies. for example, carmakers, they use some of those chinese parts.

they'll be forced to pay more for them and could ultimately pass that off to consumers. some consumer electronic companies could also be impacted. and clothing isn't on the list but the price of their machinery, that's going to go up and that could ultimately impact consumers as well and it shows just how interconnected our economy is with the world economy, michael. >> everything is kind of woven together. are american jobs at stake with this? >> they very well could be. and the issue becomes how long this trade battle lasts. and how deeply it escalates. we've seen the escalations right now. it doesn't appear china or president trump are backing down. and president trump has threatened to impose tariffs on additional $200 billion worth of chinese goods. that means jobs in the future. >> kind of feel like this is just getting started. >> the opening salvo. >> all right, thank you, rebecca. cecilia? >> all right, guys. thanks. we want to turn to a confrontation at a swimming pool caught on camera. an african-american mom say she and her baby were targeted

by a neighbor because of their race. kendis gibson has the story. good morning. >> reporter: cecilia, good morning. we have seen so many of these, so many of these alleged racial profiling case. and you know the nicknames. permit patty, barbecue becky and add pool patrol paul. paul, what say you? this morning the latest from the chapters of "doing while black." a new video of police being called on an innocent black person now going viral. >> and nobody else was asked their i.d. i feel this is racial profiling. i am the only black person here with my son in the pool. >> reporter: jasmine edwards and her child were at their neighborhood pool on the fourth of july when another resident adam bloom, called the cops, who say he refused to believe edwards lived in his neighborhood. >> first of all, he asked for my address. i gave it to him. and then he came back and said, well, i did -- >> as long as it matches sally kirk, i'm fine. >> reporter: the police attempting to defuse the situation asked for her permission to prove to bloom that her access card works on the pool lock,

>> turns green and it unlocks. there you go, sir. >> that's good enough for me today. >> do you want to apologize, adam? >> reporter: bloom's attorney declined to comment overnight. the independence day incident follows weeks of viral videos showcasing white neighbors calling the police for black people doing seemingly everyday things from mowing lawns. >> you should not be getting the police called on you because you out here cutting grass. >> reporter: to barbecuing in the park. >> charcoal grills are not allowed here. >> reporter: in june, alison ettel lost her job after calling 911 to report an 8-year-old girl selling water on the sidewalk. earning her the nickname, permit patty. >> you can hide all you want. the whole world going to see you, boo. >> reporter: she denies race was part of it. bloom was a member of the home ev owner's association, but resigned yesterday. bloom claims he occasionally

asks pool visitors for their to get in the studio and, eddie is like, i'm going to need your i.d. >> well, he's going to have to make me show it to him. [ laughter ] i'll just leave it at that, kendis. thank you so much, man. we're going to go back to ginger with flooding from the southwest to the northeast. what you got, ginger? >> flash flooding in belen, new mexico. these are the images coming out of there. they had a levee breach because of all the heavy rain. this morning, trenton, new jersey, is in a flash flood warning, 2 1/2 inches and cooler air is coming behind this.

some say she's taking opportunities away from transgender actors. abc's chris connelly is here with more. good morning, chris. >> good morning, cecilia, how are you? with two decades of acting in the movies and a tony for her work on broadway, scarlett johansson has a stellar career under way. for some, her latest role is raising some questions. from "avengers" to "lost in translation," scarlett johansson is in rare air. now the 33-year-old actress is facing criticism from members of the transgender acting community on social media for taking a role described as a transgender man in an upcoming yet to be filmed movie. >> hollywood is trying to find new and unique stories but they're using the same old players to play them. >> reporter: transgender actress producer trace lysette declaring on twitter that trans performers are being denied opportunities that should rightly be theirs. in favor of those who identify as the gender assigned to them at birth. >> i grew up not seeing anyone

that looked like me portrayed on screen. so i guess i would say to my community is that it's really important right now to speak out and push back. >> reporter: so you can continue to play us, but we can't play y'all, tweeted lysette. she plays shea on "transparent." and not only do you play us and steal our narrative, you pat yourself on the back with trophies. jeffrey tambor in "transparent." jared leto in "dallas buyers club." and felicity huffman in "transamerica" given portrayals of trans characters. >> so often they go to cisgender actors. without even considering a transperson for the part. >> reporter: this is nothing new. matt damon took sharp exception to the allegation that his being cast in the chinese fantasy "the great wall" was an example of so-called whitewashing. johansson faced similar criticism for her part in "ghost in the shell." >> i think that we are in a moment where we are talking

about proper inclusion and proper representation more and more. >> you were dying. >> scarlett johansson's people made no comment to "gma" and there are additional perspectives to consider. filmmakers want artistic freedom. actors, by definition, portray people they themselves are not. women in particular have fought not to be judged in hollywood solely on the basis of their physical appearance. and, as we heard, transgender performers seeking more opportunities to show the world all that they can do. not competing perspectives. it's up for hollywood to make sure they're complimentary perspectives. >> certainly. >> thank you for bringing that to us. >> good to have you here. >> absolutely. always good to have you here. coming up, we got the video that's getting millions of views. are these the most romantic penguins in the world? >> aw. >> wait till you see what happens next.

for. dr. j dr. j dr. jennifer ashton joins us now. do we know what causes these conditions in babies? >> we don't but what we do know this is the most common type of congenital birth defect we see. it could be a problem with the chambers of the heart, the major vessels, or the valves. and that's because when the heart forms in utero, it has to fold in just the right way. so if you imagine these balloons, they're all red balloon, they're all folded but if they fold incorrectly you can wind up with a problem with the aorta or a chamber or the valve and that's why it's so hard. there are a long list of heart defects. some are critical and life-threatening and others may never be detected. >> you were telling me in the early stages, these hearts can be the size of a walnut. what can parents be on the lookout for? >> most of the time these are picked up in a 20-week or 22-week prenatal ultrasound. sometimes they're not detected until the delivery room or the newborn nursery. the signs or symptoms depending on what type of congenital heart defect it you might see discoloration around the lips or coloring even in dark babies see

a pale color in the nailbeds. rapid breathing. you can see swelling in the legs, abdomen, or around the eyes. and shortness of breath during feedings that leads to poor weight gain. le in sports.dren it might not v but again, most of the time, these are picked up pretty soon. >> this new breakthrough that we're talking about could mean the end of open heart surgery. for some of these patients. >> right. well, again, there are so many heart defects. most do require surgery. many of them staged or sequential operations but if you imagine this clear tube as the vein what we're seeing with this valve is the yellow umbrella gets placed in through the groin, it goes all the way up to the right side of the heart. it finds its proper place and then it's deployed sparing that baby a cracked chest and open sternum. so that's a big deal. not for every type of defect but for those it makes a difference. >> certainly a breakthrough. and it's not bad luck in this case to open an umbrella indoors. amy, over to you. >> all right, cecelia.

with more on this. so you work with couples all of the time so what's your takeaway from apps like lasting to help couples work through their problems? >> i love the intention behind this app. and i think it's great just to give yourself even a relationship tuneup. but if you find that your relationship is starting to slide downhill or maybe the wheels have started to fall off then it's definitely time to bring in a counselor. in addition to maybe also using the app. >> great, so i mean we've mentioned in the piece the counselors can be expensive but does there reach a certain point where you say the app is not going to work. you're going to need to physically see someone face to face. >> yeah, when you start to think, i might be better off alone than with this person. when you're at an impasse, when you know what you think and you know what he thinks and nobody is going to budge, which causes lots of arguments and screaming and conflict, it's definitely the time to have a counselor if you don't already. that might even be too late at that point. >> it's actually perhaps the best way to spend your money because you'll spend money on the divorce anyway.

might as well put it towards the counselor in the beginning to hopefully avoid that. >> try to salvage it and go to counseling asap even if you think it's a small issue. small issues are what turns into big issues. >> it's never the issue you're fighting about. >> amen. >> it's always the underlying. you can tell i've had some therapy. >> it's something else. dig deeper. >> what are your tips for couples who are trying to revitalize their relationship? >> this is a great one. do a 30-second hug. yes, a 30-second hug where you time it when you get that close to each other for that long you kind of melt into the hug and you start to experience oxytocin which is the attachment hormone which kind of starts to fuse you back together again. and then second, look for three great things on a daily basis that your partner says or does for you. especially as women we fall into that negativity bias where we look for what's wrong instead of what's right. force yourself to look for three things, write them down and tell him.

and then, if those arguments do start, which we all know they're inevitable, have a strategy called deescalation. that means either of you when you start to push each other's buttons you get to say stop. it's like boxers going back to their corners. you get to cool off and come back to it half an hour later. >> amazing advice. i love that. bela gandhi, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. and coming up next here on "gma" our party in the park with g-eazy. stay with us. ♪ ng up next here on "gma" our party in the park with g-eazy. stay with us. ♪
