cecilia. the migrants.ss that's right. all eyes on the consulate behind me. we have the saudis' version of events of how jamal khashoggi was apparently killed, and now critics are demanding a full and frank explanation of what happened here 20 days ago now. this morning, cnn is being given what's surveillance video described to them by turkish authorities of one of the key suspects dressed in khashoggi's clothes leaving the back of the consulate shortly after he was killed. the man seen impersonating the writer now in saudi custody. a saudi official telling abc news his body was handed over to someone local, quote, for disposal, but claiming they don't know who that was or where the body is. this comes as new surveillance images are released showing the last moments before his death. you can see here khashoggi being searched before entering the saudi consulate, and now fresh surveillance video

showed khashoggi walking hand in hand with his fiancee. after first saying khashoggi died in a fist fight, the saudi official now making a stunning new claim that a physical altercation ensued when jamal tried to leave. in order to prevent him from calling for help, one of the accused suspects placed him in a choke hold position. he died as a result. turkish leaks suggesting this was instead a gruesome, premeditated murder, not an accident. the saudis still standing by the claims though that king salman and the crown prince knew nothing. overnight, releasing a statement saying they called khashoggi's eldest son to express their condolences. this 19 days after he was killed. >> this was a rogue operation. this was an operation where individuals ended up exceeding the authorities and responsibilities they had. >> reporter: the claim this was rogue first raised by president trump six days ago. >> it sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue

killers, who knows. >> reporter: but now the president taking a tougher stand telling "the washington post" obviously, there has been deception and there has been lies, and senators continuing to question the saudi version of events. >> in saudi arabia, you do not do something of this magnitude without having clearance from the top. >> reporter: well, a key question this morning, what is turkey's next move? president erdogan speaking tomorrow. will he now produce real evidence to back up these claims of a gruesome murder? will we hear the audiotapes? many people looking at this. the turks essentially questioning the saudis' accounting, saying this wasn't an accident, this was premeditated murder. george? >> okay, ian, thanks very much. let's bring in jon karl for more on this. president erdogan of turkey also spoke to president trump yesterday and the president is shifting his story a bit but still calling saudi arabia an incredible ally, so he's got to figure out how to balance punishing the saudis for this while preserving the

relationship. >> reporter: that's right, george, and he has got some real pressure coming, genuine anger coming from both republicans and democrats in congress who want to see sanctions on saudi arabia. rand paul, one of the president's closest allies, said he would like to see the arm sales to saudi arabia cut off. the president himself has been kind of all over the map. obviously there's been deception and lies. but in the same interview, george, the president said this of the crowned prince, saying he's a strong person, he has very good control. he is seen as a person who can keep things under check and i mean that in a positive way. >> that 15 days until the midterm elections. president out on the stump just about every day, and his poll numbers obviously on the rise. >> "wall street journal" poll yesterday that had his approval rating the highest of his presidency, 47%. of course, you still have 49%

disapproving, and even in that poll, george, there were signs of trouble for the republicans. in that poll, democrats were seen as significantly more likely to vote than republicans which would be a big change from the recent midterm elections. >> and they still have about a nine-point edge in the house races. jon, thanks very much. robin? now to that rafting accident that killed five people, including four american tourists in costa rica for a bachelor party. this morning we're hearing from one of the survivors about those terrifying moments on the water. abc's victor oquendo has the story. >> reporter: these are the four american tourists killed in a tragic rafting accident over the weekend in costa rica. they were part of a group of 14 from south florida who traveled to the central american country for a bachelor party. on saturday, the longtime friends who all attended the same miami high school, set out with costa rican guides on three different rafts. every single one capsized. survivor chris gomez told abc news, all of us were careening

down the river, just trying to stabilize and find something to hold onto. as our bodies ricochetted against the rocks. gomez adding, most of us were ultimately able to await rescue teams. unfortunately, not all of us were so lucky. the search lasted hours. authorities flew above the river. this video from the ministry of public security of costa rica. by nightfall, all five bodies were found. the groom survived, but his brother, sergio lorenzo, did not, as well as ernesto sierra, jorge caso and andres denis. in a statement, denis' family said they're devastated. he had just graduated college and was studying for the lsat. the guide's body, also recovered. the river near the pacific coast is very popular with tourists, but authorities say the river was swollen by heavy rains and there was an alert for possible flooding. they all capsized within five minutes of heading out on to the

water. he called it a living nightmare. the u.s. state department is working with local authorities. >> okay, victor, thank you. we want to turn to the urgent manhunt for a cop killer outside of atlanta. the officer gunned down while responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle. one suspect is in custody. the other, now facing a murder charge, is still at large. abc's steve osunsami has the very latest. >> reporter: police in georgia this morning are searching for a suspect accused in the killing of one of their own. officer antwan toney was shot and killed after responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle. parked near a middle school in gwinnett county saturday afternoon. before the officer could even walk up to the car, police say someone inside started shooting at police through the glass. >> the responding officers did, in fact, return fire, and one of the officers dragged officer toney away to cover.eporter: of hit and rushed to gwinnett medical center in the atlanta suburbs, where he died. the suspect in the car sped

away, but saturday night, police were able to find 19-year-old isaiah pretlow. he's charged with aggravated assault. he is being held without bond and has not yet entered a plea. the second suspect is this young man, 18-year-old tafahree maynard, who is still on the run and accused of aggravated assault and felony murder. officer toney was just a few days short of his third anniversary on the force when he was killed. at police precincts, families are hanging blue ribbons with the officer's badge number. >> it's basically just the one thing that people can do to say thank you for not only what he gave up but what he did every day. >> reporter: at one point overnight police had a house surrounded. they thought the suspect was inside it, but he wasn't. the call that began all of this was someone calling in saying there were a group of guys in a car smoking pot and somehow this turned deadly, showing just how

dangerous the job is for police on the force every day. there is a vigil, cecilia, scheduled tonight. >> such a danger, steve, thank you. our thoughts certainly go out to that community and the officer's family. we're going to switch gears now. it's mega millions time. the jackpot now $1.6 billion now, that's the largest ever ahead of tomorrow night's drawing. gio benitez here. if there is a single winner, that person leaps onto the "forbes" list of world's richest people. >> reporter: they would, george, good morning. yeah, if they take that lump sum cash option that's still $904 million. and this morning, it's a high stakes countdown for that epic payout, the biggest jackpot ever, and we can't say it enough, $1.6 billion. the winner of the mega millions game would join the ranks of the wealthiest people on earth, surpassing some of the most successful celebrities like lady

ga, jennifer lopop and george clclney. >> e erybody is loing to win a little piececef the pie. >> rep sosoone won the ga millions, it was back in july in an office pool. 11 co-workers sharing $543 million. jen is hoping her pool has similar luck. her facebook group called the happy hours, they buy and post their lottery tickets online. >> there is no plan. there is just dreams. we're just hoping and of course, you know, nobody will quit their job. >> reporter: office pools don't always go as planned. take the construction worker in new jersey who was in charge of buying the lottery tickets for his work pool, but without telling anyone, he claimed the $38 million win for himself alone. he was sued and lost which is why experts say set the ground rules early and in writing. >> appoint a lottery captain whose job it is to collect the money, buy the ticket, secure the ticket, photocopy the ticket, so no one can claim that the ticket belongs to them. >> reporter: get that in writing. the odds of winning are 1 in 302 million. that means there are 302 million different combinations. if you had enough money to buy all the tickets, win and choose the lump sum cash payout, you

would still end up with a $300 million profit. that's of course if you're the only winner. if you're not, oops, you just lost $302 million. >> you are really enjoying this so much, gio. let's get back to ginger. baby, it is cold outside. >> it is so cold this morning, and this image doesn't help at all. notre dame, the first time a concert was held there in all the stadium's history, garth brooks, and it snowed. plenty of cold where that came from, and that's only the first shot this week. your local weather in 30 seconds.

and according to a "new york times" report, the trump administration is considering rolling back protections for transgender people by narrowing the definition of gender to a biological condition determined at birth. gender would be defined only as male or female. the human rights campaign says this would set a destructive precedent. and take a look at this video -- it's new, just coming in -- showing a train flying off the tracks in taiwan killing at least 18 people and injuring 175 others. it is the worst train crash there in nearly three decades. an investigation is under way this morning. okay, we'll move on now to a showdown brewing over the super bowl. more stars are coming out in support of colin kaepernick. amy schumer says she won't appear in ads during the big game, and rihanna turning down halftime. let's go to adrienne bankert. >> reporter: most stars supporting in word, or reposting in support of amy schumer. she wants other celebrities to put their money where their mouth is and join her in the protest of one of the most watched television events of the

year. >> i don't know if you know this, but this last year i have gotten very rich, famous and humble. >> reporter: as an actress and activist, amy schumer is one of hollywood's most outspoken stars. this morning, she's taking on the nfl. in her most recent posts on instagram, she tackles the subject of racial inequality. she writes, i told my reps i wouldn't do a super bowl commercial this year. she says it's in support of former 49er colin kaepernick after singer rihanna reportedly turned down performing at next year's super bowl in front of 100 million fans for the same reason. it's rumored maroon 5 has the lucrative halftime gig instead. schumer posts, i think it would be cool if maroon 5 backed out of super bowl like badgalriri did. she adds, for her, hitting the nfl with the advertisers is the only way to really hurt them. >> my fellow americans -- >> reporter: though the "i feel

pretty" actress has starred in a super bowl ad before with seth rogen. >> that's why we're doing the bud light party. >> reporter: there is a lot of cash at stake for schumer and advertisers. a 30-second spot in last year's game cost a reported $5 million. and for the few megastars offered a halftime deal, it's a game-changer. ♪ i got a hundred million reasons to walk away ♪ >> reporter: sales for lady gaga jumped 1,000% after her stadium-shaking performance in 2017. ♪ you and me could write a bad romance ♪ ♪ i want to hold them like they do in texas please ♪ >> we're talking pretty big money. we contacted the nfl and so far haven't heard back. george. let's bring in media expert, our friend, larry hackett. is this a thing? >> i think there are two separate things going on here.

one is what rihanna did is not performing after being asked by the nfl and people are looking at that and that's a reasonable decision. she is going to gain fans i think. she is not going to lose any among the people she likes now, and the second is calling for a boycott and what amy schumer is asking for. i think that's a much tougher hill. >> you don't think it will become one? >> i don't think it will become one. if people feel that way, they won't do it. we're dealing in a shadowy area here. we don't know who has been asked, who has said yes, and things like that. stars pushing other stars into doing this won't be successful. number two -- if this was last year, it would be different. the president has not been calling out kaepernick, he hasn't been calling out the players. fewer players seem to be protesting it and taking avenues in the community and places like that. i'm not sure this controversy is where it was last year so i don't think it will get that much traffic. >> what will the nfl do about the halftime show? >> well, i think they still want names to do this. i don't think it will go back to

the old days where it was up with the people or like the opening ceremony of the olympics. i think they will always find some people. they would loathe to have a red, white and blue performance. they don't want just country music stars doing that. the fact of the matter is everything is political. >> do you think they are going to be able to avoid that? >> i think they will find a performer who will do this and this controversy will die down because it's not where it was last year. i really do. >> larry hackett, thanks very much. now to that incident between a police officer and a 14-year-old girl that is causing outrage. the florida officer seen repeatedly hitting the girl during an arrest, and now that teen's mother is speaking out. diane macedo is here with more. good morning, diane. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the girl's mother said she was furious when she saw this video. she says her daughter was not being aggressive, and the officer's actions were unjustified, but the police have a very different version of what happened. they say the video only tells a small part of the story. >> why are you hitting her? >> reporter: it's the violent

arrest video now going viral. a florida police officer punching a 14-year-old girl in her side while she is pinned to the ground. >> how are you going to sit there and punch a girl? >> reporter: jessica dennis, the teen's mom, says the footage shot by a family member was hard to watch. >> i didn't even know what to do. i was crying. i was hysterical. what he did was not -- it was not justified at all. he totally was wrong. >> reporter: the coral springs police department says the girl was part of a group of unruly teenagers who police say they barred from the mall for harassing other patrons. >> they went there to restore some peace and order to the mall. >> reporter: shortly after police say the teens returned and after one was arrested, one started cursing, attempting to incite the other teens. they say she then resisted arrest, would not unclench her fists and later kicked one of the officers. >> the officer's actions were 100% within policy. the officers don't know what she may have in her possession. >> reporter: the mother disagrees. >> he went overboard. she wasn't resisting. they want to make us accountable

for our actions. they need to be accountable for their actions. >> reporter: and the mother is now calling for the officer to be fired and for an official apology to her daughter. the girl, meanwhile, is facing three separate charges in this incident. >> do we know if there was body cam footage? >> they haven't said yet so a lot of people are waiting to see if more video might come out particularly because the police say a lot more happened here than we're seeing in these videos. still remains to be seen. >> a lot of questions there. all right, guys. coming up, that frightening dance floor collapse injuring dozens. what happened just moments before the floor caved in. ♪ for years, i thought i was lactose intolerant. turns out i was just sensitive to a protein commonly found in milk. now, with a2 milk®... ...i can finally enjoy cereal again. it's delicious like real milk. because, it is real milk! a2 milk® is... ...real milk from real cows that... ...produce only the a2 protein. i love milk! i'm so happy i found this.

floor to collapse. one witness says right before that moment, she heard a cracking sound. >> i saw a flash of, like, light from, like, the wires sparking. i looked over the crowd and the next thing i saw was a big hole in the ground, people yelling and screaming. >> reporter: the condominium complex was built about 15 years ago. it's unclear if there was a limit posted about the maximum number of people who could use the clubhouse at one time. now, while there were no life-threatening injuries, still a lot of very serious injuries. >> wow. i can't even imagine. >> thank you. appreciate that. do not put on your makeup until you see this next story. coming up, the college student inspiring one of the biggest upsets ever in college football, and the surprise from his hero, drew brees. you will see it only on "gma." please come back. you will see it only on "gma." please come back. you will see it only on "gma." please come back. alexa, play weekend mix. the new lincoln mkc. connecting the world inside, with the world outside.
