time. >> look how big they are. >> i know no that is amazing, right. >> like selena gomez put something out and beat her record so now she had to turn around and beat her record. >> good morning, america. breaking news, a bomb explodes outside the u.s. embassy in china. with dozens of people lined up outside, smoke fills the air, chaos on the scene. the suspect injured by his own device now in custody. we're live with the latest. also breaking, fires and floods. the cranston wildfire erupting out west. the fast-moving blaze scorching thousands of acres, destroying homes and forcing communities to evacuate. now a suspect under arrest accused of starting the fire. and in the east, historic flooding. nearly a foot of rain washing away cars and shutting down historic hershey park. the race to save demi. new details this morning about

the emergency drug used to keep demi lovato alive after that suspected overdose and the latest on her recovery this morning. urgent search for the iowa college student now missing more than a week after vanishing on a jog. the fbi now poring over her fitb fitbit. could it hold the key to finding her? and the strangers banding together forming this human chain. how they saved swimmers trapped in a deadly rip current. good morning, america. saw some great teamwork there in north carolina. those rip currents so dangerous. >> certainly. >> we do want to remember one person did lose their life but strangers just jumping in to help one another. we're going to have a lot more on that incredible rescue coming up. first we have that breaking news overseas, an explosive going off near the u.s. embassy

in beijing. >> around 1:00 p.m. today in china it happened. dozens lined up outside. the smoke there. only the suspect injured, he is now in custody and matt gutman is in hong kong with the latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, george. the u.s. embassy has confirmed it was a bomb. it exploded right outside the embassy gates sending jitters through a very sensitive part of beijing that is filled with embassies. now, also it happened right during the lunch hour rush. there were dozens of people waiting to get visas. in this video you can see that smoke hanging in that intersection still and just how many people were about. now, remarkably, dozens of those people got right back in line to get their visas. now, u.s. officials say nobody was hurt except for that bomber himself as you mentioned and it didn't cause any damage to the embassy which is relatively new and heavily fortified. at this point chinese officials say they have detained this 26-year-old suspected bomber. they say he is in a hospital getting treatment for one of his hands that was injured. so far, george, no word on motive.

>> yeah, a lot more to learn about what drove this. matt, thanks very much. cecilia? let's turn to dangerous wildfires out west. record heat and dry conditions are fueling the flames, and now a new one in southern california, the cranston fire burning through thousands of acres destroying at least five homes and threatening hundreds more. abc's will carr is on the ground in mountain center, california, and, will, they have now arrested a suspect accused of starting it. >> reporter: that's right, cecilia. good morning. all of this devastation could have been avoided. this truck is charred. the fire burning so hot, it melted the aluminum off the wheels, and then check out what is left of this hose. you can imagine the homeowner racing around this property trying to spray everything down with water as those flames came towards the home but it just happened too quickly. the home burned to the ground. this morning it's smoldering and residents are furious. overnight, authorities arresting a suspected arsonist after the fast-moving cranston fire exploded wednesday. fierce flames destroying at

least five homes, threatening hundreds more. >> it's just really a hard firefight out there. >> reporter: the fire burning 4700 acres so far fueled by bone dry brush and scorching temperatures. it is hot right now, 110 degrees. that is fueling these flames up the hillside behind me and fire crews are struggling to jump on these flames. this timber yard, looking like the gates of hell. this is one of the most intense feelings of heat that i've ever felt. it's easily burning over a thousand degrees right here. at least 60 large fires now racing across the western united states, including the ferguson fire outside of yosemite national park, forcing the park to close for the first time in 28 years. back at this fire, crews still have a lot of work to do. this fire is only 5% contained this morning and as for that suspect, witnesses say they saw him allegedly driving around starting fire after fire and this morning he faces five counts of arson.

cecilia? >> okay, will, thank you. paula. thanks, cecilia. it is a much different scene on the east coast with unrelenting rain and severe flooding. we want you to take a look at these images from hershey park in pennsylvania and for the third day this week the famed amusement park is shut down because of that flooding. abc's rob marciano is in the area and, rob, it's so very re to see the park close for this period of time. >> it is, paula. the last time it was closed was 2011 when these water levels rose to record heights. this flood is challenging most levels. the second highest level on record. you can see that building behind me clearly is submerged in this river and now in the middle of the water all that debris, some of it at least, is part of a dumpster that floated in the river, and got pinned across a bridge that you can barely see because it is submerged in the water. this is technically a creek but today it is a raging river after five straight days of relentless rain. overnight, blinding rain blasting kansas.

drivers barely navigating the water-soaked streets. that school's roof ripped right off when it was over. and the flooding continues across pennsylvania leading to rescue after rescue. rivers overflowing. >> if you live by a creek you know it's going to flood, get out. >> reporter: fire crews working to rescue families from their flooded neighborhoods. >> they were staging to rescue the people in the houses across the creek because the creek had rose above the road and they couldn't drive out. >> reporter: one person killed and a woman swept away while crossing a rain-swollen creek, still missing this morning. sinkholes opening up across the state. >> we're in a neighborhood where it's just happening and you just never know when you're going to wake up and have this in your backyard. >> reporter: in hershey park, pennsylvania, the amusement park shutting down for a third day after many of the rides were left swamped. over 50 state roads are closed across pennsylvania because of flooding. many subdivisions remain evacuated. this water is cresting this morning but it's all flowing into the larger susquehanna

which is forecast to crest later on tonight in flood stage in harrisburg. the bright news is for the first time in nearly a week, paula, today at least will be dry. >> a little bit of bright news, rob marciano, thank you so much. cecilia. there are new flood warnings in the northeast this morning. let's go to ginger for the latest. hey, ginger. >> good morning, cecilia, and good morning, everyone. you begin with pictures out of pennsylvania and say, whoa, those are stunning. it's well beyond just hershey. washington, d.c. reporting nearly seven inches in the last five days. baltimore, maryland had their wettest july on record already. so we're seeing these numbers all across the mid-atlantic, and as we said today dry but you get a little bit more squeezing out the next couple of days. that's why you still have flood warnings. those river levels will still rise, and then you get another 1 to 3 inches with the cold front that comes through tomorrow afternoon and evening and if that's not enough you add the potential for some damaging winds to take roofs down and

trees down, power lines, from friday afternoon and evening from albany through philadelphia to washington, d.c., cecilia. >> a rough summer. ginger, thanks. let's go to the white house where president trump tempered fears of a trade war by announcing a new agreement with the european union at a surprise press conference in the rose garden. abc's terry moran was there, and sticking with that, the agreement with europe more cease-fire than peace treaty. >> reporter: that's for sure. cease-fire is right and both sides blinked in that hastily arranged rose garden event. president trump and eu head jean-claude juncker agreed to step back from the brink of this looming trade war between the united states and europe to the delight of republicans in congress and wall street investors. it was just last week that the president was talking about the eu as a foe of the u.s. and he's been declaring on twitter things like, tariffs are great, no weakness, but he has also been coming under tremendous pressure from american farmers, getting clobbered by retaliatory tariffs from china in that trade war, so in practical terms, this agreement was merely an agreement not to escalate, to

work toward zero tariffs on non-auto industrial goods which was something that the eu was negotiating with the obama administration as well. for now, no trade war with europe. >> we'll see how those negotiations go. meanwhile, on capitol hill, they're about to go on vacation for five weeks. on their way out house republicans have made a significant move against the head of the russia investigation. >> reporter: that's right. 11 house republicans have filed articles of impeachment against deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. this is a rare and almost certainly futile move. republicans have been furious with rosenstein that he has not shared more inside information from some of the most sensitive investigations especially the russia investigation. the democrats are warning this is an attack on the mueller probe. the last time the house went forward and actually impeached someone who wasn't a president or a federal judge was back in 1876. so rod rosenstein can probably sleep easy tonight. >> let's go back to the rose garden event quickly. the white house is under fire for banning one of our colleagues from cnn from that event because they didn't like

the question she asked earlier in the day. >> reporter: that's right, kaitlan collins who has been representing the pool yesterday, that's the group of television networks. we select one every day to go in and represent us all at the event with jean-claude juncker hollered a few questions about that michael cohen tape, but the president and his staff apparently perturbed. she was told by press secretary sarah sanders and new white house communications director bill shine she would not be allowed into the rose garden. that is a very rare move to select someone because you don't like what they're saying and ban them. i must say there's been unanimous objection from across the press. the white house correspondents' association and the president's favorite network, fox news, its president and anchors like bret baier have called for the right of full access for free and unfettered press. this is an act of peak by the white house that's been objected

to right across the board by the press. >> this has banded the press corps together because this is unprecedented as you know. this reporter did nothing wrong. this was her job. this is our job to represent all of the journalists at the white house when we go into these pool sprays. these questions were about the news of day. >> pretty straight forward. >> michael cohen, and this is not what you do in a country that values the first amendment. >> pretty surprising and escalation in the attacks on the press. i want to bring in our chief global affairs correspondent, martha raddatz on that, and this comes a couple days after you wrote a powerful piece in "the washington post" after the president went to the veterans of foreign wars convention, kind of goaded the crowd with attacks on the press. >> reporter: he sure did, george. he is relentless and he does not care who the crowd is. those veterans take an oath to support and defend the constitution, so it was very disturbing to watch some of the veterans boo the press when the president told them not to believe the press. reporters have been at the side of the military in war with many of them injured or killed. this can have a profound effect on how some americans view the media no matter whether they cover politics or war, george. >> you know that from being

embedded with the troops. on capitol hill yesterday secretary of state mike pompeo went up to capitol hill to testify before the senate foreign relations committee for the first time since that helsinki summit and got quite a grilling. >> has the president told you what he and president putin discussed in their two-hour closed door meeting in helsinki? >> the president has a prerogative to choose who is in meetings and who is not. i'm confident you've had private one-on-one meetings in your life as well. >> did he tell you whether or not -- what happened in those two hours? >> yes, i had a number of conversations with president trump about what transpired in the meeting. >> did he tell putin that i'll release or ultimately relaxed sanctions? >> senator, what you need to conduct your role, your appropriate role, i will provide you today. you asked me about u.s. policy with respect to sanctions, and i can confirm to you that no commitment has been made to change those policies in any way. >> reporter: secretary pompeo defended the president again and again, but i think many left still very unclear and confused

about what happened in that meeting and what was agreed upon. the russians say there were concrete agreements as you know, george. >> he kept trying to draw a >> he kept trying to draw a line but connect the president's policies which -- the president's words sometimes at odds with the president's positives. what we did learn that proposed summit with vladimir putin put off for awhile. >> reporter: you know, it was in a tweet that the meeting would be this folly would come to the white house, but took nearly everyone by surprise including the director of national intelligence, dan coats, and after that helsinki meeting trump faced a slew of criticism including at that hearing yesterday where the republican chairman, bob corker, said trump looked submissive and deferential to putin and now the white house apparently thinking a second meeting so soon after helsinki is not such a good idea, george. >> next year at the earliest. martha raddatz, thanks very much. paula. >> extraordinary time, george. now to staggering news from facebook which suffered its largest stock decline ever.

late yesterday it lost $130 billion in mark value in just a matter of two hours and it is not going to get much better. during their earnings conference call the company admitted its growth will continue to slow down the rest of the year, feeling the effects of stronger privacy laws. this news hit the rest of the tech industry hard. snapchat's parent company, snap and twitter stocks, immediately tumbled upon the news. facebook's ceo, mark zuckerberg, took a huge personal hit as well. he lost $16.8 billion, with a "b," billion dollars. >> imagine have $16.8 billion to lose. >> not feeling it. >> thank you, paula. new developments in the case of that stanford university swimmer brock turner who was found guilty of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman back in 2015. his attorneys now argue the decision should be overturned in part because turner kept his clothes on. abc's kayna whitworth is in los angeles with the story. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: yeah, george, good morning. so right now an appeals court is weighing arguments by turner's legal team who say the fact that turner says his clothes were on

should have led to reasonable doubt for the charges. it's an argument that seemingly made no sense to at least one judge on the panel. a new twist in a high-profile rape case that gripped the nation. former stanford swimmer brock turner convicted of sexually assaulting an intoxicated woman outside a frat house in 2015. he was found on top of a half naked unconscious woman. he served just half of his six-month sentence. but this morning, his attorney trying to overturn that conviction arguing that evidence shows brock wasn't trying to have intercourse with the woman because he says he was partially clothed during the attack. one judge on the panel seemingly skeptical of the argument telling turner's attorney, i absolutely don't understand what you're talking about. >> to now argue about whether he had his clothes on or his clothes off, those are all facts, those are all theories that should have been submitted at the trial level. >> reporter: his attorney

fighting the conviction so brock doesn't have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. >> let's call it a hail mary pass. best i can tell this is a last-ditch effort. %-p to register in person every few months for the rest of his life. he currently lives with his parents in ohio. the courts have 90 days to make a decision on this. george? >> we'll be watching. thanks very much. cecilia. wait until you see this video. a terrifying road rage incident caught on camera. take a look. two drivers, they're getting into it here in brooklyn, new york. one of them pulls out a knife. you see him slashing the air then according to the victim, the suspect jumped into the victim's car, pinning him up against a parked car. the victim flipping in the air. he was taken to the hospital. somehow he only suffered injuries to his hands and hips. we know this video is tough to watch. the suspect drove away. police are still searching for him, but wow. amazing. amazing that he was not more seriously injured.

>> driving can bring out the absolute worst in some of us. >> absolutely. we want to turn to an incredible milestone, nba star vince carter, you know him, at 41 years old, he is now the oldest player in the league. well, he's just signed on for a 24th season tying the record for most seasons in the nba. he's an eight-time all-star, and sparked vinsanity with dunks like the ones you're seeing and he'll join the atlanta talks and play with 19-year-old trae young who wasn't born until three months after he was drafted the first time. trae tweeting support saying this is pretty cool. i'm really looking forward to learning and being able to pick his brain. this is all a process. but a little advice to trae, don't tell vince, i loved you growing up. it makes you feel old, doesn't it. >> 41 is the new 25. thank you very much. >> speaking from experience. >> yes. >>ery, very young. don't worry about it at all. let's go back to ginger. >> let's start with the car fire.

this one now, new mandatory evacuations are in place in california for this fire. more than 6,600 acres burned, 10% contained. and this is the marsh fire near clayton, california. you can see frightening images of that burning. here is the problem. we have been talking about the heat, and it has been hot. seattle has already had 90-plus degrees for five days this month. that's only happened a handful of times in their history going for another 90 today all the way up to the pacific northwest. your local weather in 30 seconds. first, the comfortable cities sponsored by starbucks k-cups.

brad, welcome and thanks for joining us. the fbi gets involved but there are thousands of missing cases. why did they choose this one? >> well, when either a child of tender age or adult goes missing after a period of time and it doesn't appear they've harmed themselves, there is a presumption of foul play, and there is also a presumption that they have crossed possibly state lines which gives the fbi jurisdiction. >> so investigators are looking at her social media, her electronic devices. she was a creature of habit, she was well connected on social media. what kind of information can they cull, especially from the data from her fitbit as well? >> it could be enormous as far as who did she have contact the last, where can they geolocate the person she was talking to, if, in fact, anything happened to her while she was running and that remains to be seen at this point, the fitbit in conjunction with her cell phone may give her a location. >> it could be crucial. she's been missing for a week.

she was staying at her boyfriend's house where she was dog sitting and then disappeared after she goes for this jog. what do you think investigators should do now that she has been missing for such a long time? >> so, the real key you have a small community. have you eliminated the 1,500 plus people that live there? then you have to eliminate people she's working with at the summer camp and look at the university of iowa because that's where she was spending the first year of college. and so it's -- could it be a stranger abduction? it could but the likelihood it's somebody she knows. >> we are holding out hope she is okay. brad, thank you so much for joining us. george? >> thank you, paula. coming up have you called cvs lately? what do you think that have hold music? there's a petition now to change it. woman 1: proof of less joint pain... woman 2: ...and clearer skin. woman 3: this is my body of proof. man 2: proof that i can fight psoriatic arthritis... woman 4: ...with humira. woman 5: humira targets and blocks a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms.

>> 3-5? >> that is correct. >> wow. >> but you have to read the comments on the youtube videos about this song. all these people creating their own cover versions of the song and the comments are hilarious. they range from the song is hypnotizing, deeply moving and somewhat existentialist to someone saying it sounds like grandpa put a cassette recorder in the piano during a second grade recital. better alternatives suggested are a collection of scandinavian thrash metal or whales mating. >> i'm not sure what whales mating sounds like so i'm not sure if that's a better alternative. i don't know what the alternative is. >> i didn't bring my whale sounds with me today but i'll follow up for you, paula. coming up, health alert. the new alzheimer's drug bringing new hope this morning. alzheimer's drug bringing new hope this morning. e everything for his well-being. but meningitis b progresses quickly and can be fatal, sometimes within 24 hours. while meningitis b is uncommon, about 1 in 10 infected will die. like millions of others, your teen may not be vaccinated against meningitis b.

visas. incredibly, just minutes after the bomb, those people went right back to their place in line. officials say no one was hurt except for the 26-year-old suspect who was arrested and transferred to a hospital. there was no damage to the embassy which was built in 2008 and heavily fortified. now, chinese officials haven't weighed in on whether or not the suspect had any terrorist affiliations and no word on motive yet. george. >> okay, matt gutman, thanks very much. cecilia? now to new dangerous wildfires out west. record heat and dry conditions are fueling the flames. a new one in southern california, the cranston fire scorching thousands of acres. a suspect has been arrested accused of starting it. let's go back to abc's will carr on the ground for us in mountain center, california. good morning, again, will. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. this devastation could have been avoided. you can see that home behind me burned to the ground. it's still smoldering. as i walk along i have to duck down because there's a cable still dangling.

check out this charred washer and dryer and on top we found these melted beer bottles, to melt glass this fire would have to burn around 1,200 degrees fahrenheit, and then there is this truck. there are parts of this community that look more like a wasteland this morning. this fire was fueled by scorching hot, triple digit temperatures and authorities say it was started on purpose. a suspect now behind bars, facing five counts of arson. witnesses say they saw him going around this area allegedly sparking fire after fire. cecilia? >> so tough for those families, okay, will, thank you very much. >> it certainly does look like a wasteland. we have promising news for what could be a breakthrough for those suffering from alzheimer's. the critical trial of a new drug has shown a reduction in plaque in the brain that causes the disease and stops its progression. in fact some taking this new drug saw positive changes in as little as two weeks. now, currently there is no effective treatment for the disease which affects 5.5 million americans. but you heard that some seeing positive changes in as little as two weeks. that is so promising.

>> for people that haven't and it's an expensive ticket, you might get your shot for a fraction of the price. according to "the wall street journal" hollywood studios are dying to bring the broadway smash to the big screen and it's not an adaptation. the paper reporting a bidding war has broken out over a 2016 recording of the musical. this recording includes "hamilton" creator and star lin-manuel miranda playing the title role and features the original cast. so far no one has landed the distribution rights but it could go for as much as $50 million. >> wow. >> just for the rights, wow. >> yeah. so you'll have to wait for it. the seller is reportedly asking that it not hit theaters until 2020 or 2021. >> making us really wait. >> usually when you tease something you go a little closer to that date. i'm going to forget by that. >> having just seen it in washington, it is worth the hype. everything you've ever heard about it makes it -- it's just spectacular. >> yes, i agree.

personal struggle is being celebrated on social media and beyond. there is a certain sympathy and encouragement for her that we haven't seen with other stars who perhaps privately struggled or tried to cover it up. now other celebrities are coming forward to talk about just how difficult addiction can be. as glamorous as the flashing lights and red carpet events, stardom can come with serious pitfalls as well. a stark reminder this morning is pop star demi lovato who is still recovering in an l.a. hospital after a suspected drug overdose. now her friend kelly osbourne is speaking out about her own struggles with sobriety. >> i can't imagine what demi is going through right now even though he know what it's like to have the whole world talking about you in your most vulnerable state. i think people need to show love and pray for her and, you know, know that it's okay. >> reporter: appearing on the british talk show "loose women" the 33-year-old opened up about addiction and recovery. >> the sad part about addiction, it does not discriminate. doesn't matter who you are,

where you come from, what you believe in, if -- it takes hold of anyone and everyone if it can. >> reporter: osbourne has entered multiple rehab facilities to deal with drug and alcohol addiction in the past. >> i reached a spiritual low. i was so unbelievably miserable. i didn't care if i lived anymore or not. i didn't care what happened to me. i didn't care who i woke up next to. i just didn't care about anything. >> reporter: kelly, the daughter of sharon and rock legend ozzy osbourne says treatment facilities can help but not cure an addict. >> you're never fixed. you spend your whole entire life doing everything you can to never pick up and use again. >> reporter: osbourne now says every single day she has to make a conscious decision to keep moving forward. >> i decided that i wanted to live, that life is worth living and that i have an incredible family and friends and why am i allowing myself to be so miserable? >> lots of outreach from fans and celebrities alike wishing lovato well.

her ex-boyfriend, actor wilmer valderrama among those showing support. she just has the support of so many, george. >> she does. a lot of people rooting for her. thanks to kelly, and thanks to you, linsey for that. let's go to cecilia. thanks. we want to turn to that "gma" health alert. bayer will discontinue sales of its essure birth control implant and women who say it caused injuries. a new documentary pushes for safer medical devices and is about to be released. >> but what about your birth control? >> reporter: this morning after tens of thousands of complaints to the fda, more than 16,000 lawsuits filed and recent federal restrictions -- >> essure, permanent birth control. >> reporter: bayer announced it will voluntarily pull the birth control device essure from american markets in december. thousands of women who say they have suffered health problems after using essure welcome the news. >> i try not to cry about it because it's -- this has been a really, really difficult

situation for me. >> reporter: essure is considered to be the only nonsurgical form of permanent birth control for women in the u.s. >> unlike getting your tubes tied the essure procedure is nonsurgical and can be done in your doctor's office. >> reporter: the device, once touted to be over 99% effective, but more than 30,000 women, like angie have reported a slew of life-changing side effects. >> this has to come to an end. >> reporter: "the bleeding edge" a new netflix documentary airing friday, followed her and other essure victims who blame the device for symptoms like hair loss, dental deterioration, sever cal cancer, unintended pregnancies and autoimmune disorders. >> i had a joint surgery a year after getting essure. i had no idea that could be connected. so there might be women out there that have these symptoms that aren't related to, you know, a typical gynecological problem. >> reporter: the mother of two says she chose essure in 2010 after doctors couldn't proceed with a planned tubal ligation

during the c-section birth of her second child. the way it works, a doctor inserts the device made of nickel coils into a woman's fallopian tubes. after a few months scar tissue develops to prevent eggs from being fertilized and the woman from becoming pregnant. >> look at some of these side effects to be aware. don't go rushing to get them taken out if you're not having any problems obviously because it's a major surgery. >> reporter: now she runs essure problems, a facebook group founded seven years ago for other victims. >> for once i would like to leave my home without this organ twisting pain in my stomach. >> reporter: it's one of several facebook groups where women who havexperienced adverse side effects have convened advocating against it saying it has caused pain and bleeding and perforation of the uterus or tubes. on the facebook pages, women sharing their experiences and warning other women. some groups have garnered tens of thousands of members. melanie is one of those women. >> i was diagnosed with hodgkin's lymphoma right after that surgery so for me it was life altering.

it's lifelong. we're talking about an optional birth control, not a life-saving device. >> reporter: the u.s. food and drug administration telling abc news they restricted sales and distribution of essure in april and evaluating the safety of essure continues to be a top priority. the manufacturer says while it has decided to stop selling the device, it stands by the quality of the product in this video statement from bayer. >> there has been no change in its positive safety and efficacy profile which is backed by two decades of science and more than 200,000 women. >> let's bring in our chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton. i think we should clarify, this is not an iud which is effective and very safe. this is something totally different. how is this supposed to work and how has it gone wrong? >> let's get right to it, cecilia. we saw in the taped piece, and this is a big version of it, a metal coil gets inserted through the cervix through the uterus into the opening of the fallopian tube if you imagine it

as this clear cylinder here and the coil incites a tissue reaction that over time blocks off the tube so an egg and sperm cannot meet and land in the uterus. >> when it comes to implantable devices which is what they are called, what are the risks? >> in general when you talk about any device going into your body, there are known risks. doctors should be counseling any type of patient on this. they include everything from pain to removal difficulty if you want to or need to move that device. the device can malfunction occasionally. it can move in the body or in this case perforate the fallopian tube and always a small chance of infection or even an allergic reaction. in this case, you know, it's a metal so women do have a metal or nickel sensitivity. you can see that. >> which is what happened to one of the women that we heard from in the piece. a lot of women have this and have not experienced problems. should they be nervous? >> no. and that is really the important point. if a woman has had this in place for years and she is asymptomatic, she is not having problems, there is absolutely no need for her to consider doing anything about it. she should be in regular contact with her gynecologist and if any

new symptom comes up she should look at that. >> this is your wheelhouse. you talk to patients all the time. this is not the only option. >> the two main things that couples need to know about now if you want permanent birth control removing the fallopian tube is now really the standard because 70% of ovarian cancers start in the tube so you don't just want to block them off. you actually want to take them out. and male vasectomy, this is an office procedure, ten minutes, minimal discomfort. it does not affect sexual function. men need to be involved in this conversation also. >> they do and thank you for raising that. we want to turn it over to ginger now. i'm just telling adrian to show his teeth. we're subtle here at "gma" because we have been celebrating shark week. i don't know if you can tell, all week long. i have my shark shoes. adrian has his shark shoes. yes, and shark from head to toe really. yesterday, of course, i went swimming with the largest sharks in the world. i don't know if you caught that. that big one swimming right behind me.

this morning, i brought my little shark to work. yeah. but we forgot somebody. where is miles? oh, there he is. yeah, that's a little glance at my even smaller shark at home. we had that at home so it worked out. you don't want to miss "shark wrecked." did you see your brother in that picture? he was laying out. he's giving you a run for your money. we're going to play so much more because shark week -- can you tell me how a shark sounds? what does he do? >> i don't know. >> i don't know. he goes -- he said earlier, roar. we're not sure. you can watch "shark wreck" to find out.
