>> look at john's face. >> the action spilled on. >> that's right. >> from on the court to off the court. >> great seats right next to dwyane wade's wife, gabrielle union. >> trip a referee. >> we'll have more on that ahead. first we begin with that blizzard that is set to blast the middle of the country. millions bracing for what could be a record-setting snowstorm as the west faces flooding, strong winds overnight. ginger of course, tracking all the latest for us. good morning, ginger. >> robin, good morning. high winds cancelled those concerts in southern california and you saw whiteouts already in montana. there are wind alerts all the way from new mexico to those blizzard warnings in nebraska south dakota and minnesota. that is where the heart of the storm is going to hit. >> reporter: for days the west coast blasted with devastating high winds and rising waters. overnight, winds gusting up to 70 miles per hour in california, toppling trees and power lines. fire crews responding to 100

calls in fresno in just 90 minutes. this 50-foot tree, ripped from the ground, sent crashing into this baldwin park home in los angeles county. the westbound freeway near crenshaw backed up for hours after a tree fell onto the road. power poles plucked out of the grounds, knocking out power for thousands. the wind kicking up this dust storm on the california/nevada state line. the dust so thick, it set off fire alarms. the stormy pattern flooding parts of washington state too, triggering high water rescues. firefighters escorting this man to dry land in pullman, clutching the front of a bulldozer. and this video just released, a vehicle crushed by a power pole, pinned under live wires over the weekend. and i want to remind you the area covered in red does not just mean you could get a foot or a foot and a half of snow. that's not what blizzard means. blizzard means that you have wind and we're talking gusts of 50 to 60 miles per hour. let me take you through the timing. the low pressure system really

the rain/snow line mix, and that's where you'll end up with the highest totals. somewhere between central and northern nebraska into much of south dakota and far western minnite uglyllve the boarthe. michael? >> definitely not springtime weather, ginger. airlines are already issuing travel waivers ahead of the blizzard for the planes in the midwest. minneapolis could get buried by snow and that's where alex perez is right now. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, michael. we're talking about the two things that people in this area never want to hear together, snow and april. check it out, i'm standing on top of a salt pile, one of many in the area, and all of this is going to be very, very important in the next several hours. minneapolis still moving smoothly right now, but all of that is going to change. some areas could see as much as 1 to 2 inches of snow an hour, and here is the bad news. the effects of this storm, well, they're going to linger probably for the rest of the week.

george? >> okay, alex, thanks very much. to the white house now where president trump is cleaning house at the homeland security department, lashing out at president obama as he pushes for tough new measures to deal with the migrant crisis at the border. our chief white house correspondent jon karl put some tough questions to the president in the oval office. jon, let's start with those new moves at homeland security. >> reporter: george, we have the secretary out, the acting deputy secretary out, also the departure of his choice to head the immigrations and customs enforcement agency. i'm told to expect more departures in the coming days. what's behind all of this is the white house and the president specifically does not believe that the department of homeland security leadership has been aggressive enough in enacting his policies to control the border. so this is really about the border policy and expect with these changes the white house to try to push through some charges -- some changes, specifically to make it a lot harder for people to declare asylum when they cross the border illegally.

>> jon, one of those policies had been the family separation policy. you put some tough questions -- many tough questions to the president about that yesterday in the oval office. let's look. >> you wouldn't start separating the children again, would you, mr. president? >> obama separated the children by the way. >> would you consider doing it again? >> just so you understand, i'm the one that stopped it. president obama had child separation. now, i'll tell you something, once you don't have it, that's why you see many more people coming. they're coming like it's a picnic because let's go to disneyland. >> jon, it's not true that president obama started that separation policy, and it's unclear exactly what the president wants to do right now. >> reporter: he seems to be debating himself. he is saying that he is not going to bring back child separation, but he's also saying that that has negative consequences. the bottom line, he wants to make it a lot tougher to come into this country illegally. >> okay, jon karl, thanks very much. also in washington, attorney general william barr faces more questions about the mueller ckis for the release of president

trump's tax returns. our senior congressional correspondent mary bruce is tracking it all. mary, the at mueller report within days, but democrats unlikely to be satisfied with what he releases. >> reporter: yeah, george. the attorney general says the report will be released within a week, but it will not be the full report. there will be some redactions. now, bill barr is promising to be as transparent as possible, including even saying he's going to color code those redactions so the public can see why certain information is being withheld, but that is not going to cut it for democrats that i've talked to up here. they are still demanding the full report and the underlying evidence. now, bill barr will be back up here for round two today and he is expected to be grilled once again on his handling of this report, on how he came to his conclusions and any communications he's had with the white house. >> he wouldn't answer that question yesterday. it seems like he may have briefed the white house on the full report. meantime, the treasury secretary steve mnuchin also on capitol hill yesterday getting tough questions about the president's tax returns. >> reporter: and the treasury secretary says he's reviewing this request and that the administration will follow the

law, but george, he notably did not give a clear answer on whether or not they're going to actually comply with this request. the president insisted that he can't turn over his tax returns while he's under ongoing audit but his chief of staff said the democrats are never going to get their hands on his tax returns. today is the dats have set. it seems like the deadline is going to come and go without any action on this issue, george. it does seem that this fight could be headed towards the court. >> he could also face questions, mary, today about whether he coordinated with the white house on this issue which some democrats believe is against the law. >> reporter: yeah, he did mention yesterday that there may have been some communication between the two groups. it is something that i'm sure democrats are going to continue to demand answers on. >> mary bruce, thanks very much. michael? george, a look at that terrifying close call caught on camera. an 18-wheeler in alabama losing control, plowing through cars and slamming into a daycare center. thankfully, all the children inside were uninjured. a few adults did suffer minor

injuries, but all are expected to recover. robin? >> good to hear that they're expected to recover. now to the mystery that is surrounding that american woman that was held hostage in uganda. kimberly sue endicott has been released, but the big question is where is she? ian pannell is in uganda with the latest. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, robin. a senior ugandan police commander telling abc news this morning that they now have ten suspects in custody in connection with that kidnapping, although they're not saying whether any of those suspects are the actual kidnappers. the investigation is likely to go on for days as questions about the american tourist still go unanswered. american tourist kimberly sue endicott was taken to the u.s. embassy here in kampala, but overnight ugandan officials say they won't comment on her whereabouts further so she can recover from what they call, her trauma. no comment from the u.s. embassy either. masked gunman ambushed and kidnapped her and her guide last week. they were on safari in queen

elizabeth park. two elderly canadians left behind, then contacted the authorities. the kidnappers demanding $500,000 to release kimberly sue. local officials negotiating with them for days, eventually securing her release. abc news learning a ransom was paid but ugandan officials remaining firm they didn't pay it. more people arrested overnight, now more than ten in custody, all in connection to the kidnapping. all were picked up in the kanungu district of western uganda. police say they're scouring for more suspects in at least four districts and across the border in the democratic republic of congo. police saying early on they had to take, quote, a calculated and tactical approach in rescuing endicott and her guide. >> where, even after establishing the exact hideout of the captors and the victims, we couldn't make a raid because of the impact it could actually have on the lives of victims.

>> reporter: this morning their investigation is progressing unhindered. overnight, the state department issuing a new warning about countries said to be a kidnap risk. uganda put on that list. but officials here are going to bun happy. they insist this incident was unprecedented and uganda is s f safe. robin? >> all right, ian, thank you. we're going to stay overseas to the israeli elections where it appears prime minister benjamin netanyahu could win an historic fifth term in office. the results too close to officially call right now but both he and former military chief benny gantz are in a dead heat. both men claiming victory but netanyahu appears ahead with 97% of the vote count. now, if he wins, he's a close ally of president trump, he would become the nation's longest serving prime minister. michael? >> thank you, robin. now to new developments in that massive measles outbreak, 465 cases have been confirmed in 19 states. now officials are declaring a public health emergency in new

york city. promising serious consequences if you aren't vaccinated. erielle reshef is here with the latest. good morning to you, erielle. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. this outbreak is so alarming to officials here in new york that in some areas they're mandating the vaccine and if people don't comply, they could face fines up to $1,000. health officials now checking vaccination records. it's not just here in new york that people are concerned about this. take a look. there are hot spots popping up all over the country. we know in washington state, they have also declared an emergency and are handing out free vaccines and unvaccinated students in some areas of michigan have been told to stay home. >> and it's highly contagious and can spread easily. >> reporter: it absolutely can. 90% of people who aren't vaccinated are susceptible to contracting this disease. if you're around it and you aren't vaccinated, you can get it. this is also concerning. say i'm infected with this virus and i stand in this studio, if i leave, two hours later that virus is still lingering here in the studio. anyone that's unvaccinated is at risk.

>> wow. who's the most vulnerable? >> reporter: well, of course, babies and young children who are too young the get vaccinated. you have the elderly and people with weakened immune systems, and also pregnant women even if they receive this vaccine could be susceptible to complications. >> thank you so much. george? >> guys, thanks. we turn now to a new warning for new parents. "consumer reports" says that the fisher price rock 'n play sleeper has been tied to the deaths of up to 32 babies and the american academy of peetd y-- pediatrics is recommending a recall. diane macedo is here with more. good morning, diane. >> reporter: george, good morning. the aap is urging all parents to stop using the fisher price rock 'n play sleeper immediately. they say it's a deadly product and are also calling for stores to pull it from their shelves. this follows last week's warning from fisher-price and the consumer product safety commission to stop using the product when infants turn three months old or start to show rollover capabilities. but "consumer reports" now says those 32 deaths cited include babies younger than three months and go beyond the risk of

rollover. fisher price tells "consumer reports" it doesn't believe the product has caused any deaths, citing the many situations where a medical or health condition was identified as the cause of death and/or those in which the product was clearly used in a manner contrary to the safety warnings and instructions. the aap says infants should always sleep on their back on a separate, flat, firm surface without any bumpers or bedding. we also reached out to fisher price directly. they say they stand by the safety of the product. >> all right, diane, thank you. now to a superstar sendoff for basketball royalty. dwyane wade played his last home game for the miami heat last night before retiring. the team, fans, people he's inspired were all there celebrating everything this man has accomplished. t.j. holmes is here with that. >> reporter: good morning to you guys. of course, nba champion, future hall of famer. but did you know he sent the woman named tamar johnson to college, first in her family to ever go to college. she couldn't afford do so. did you know that in 2010 when a family's house burned down ten

days before christmas he sent them on a shopping spree? did you know he dedicated last season to a parkland victim? so much of his farewell tour has been about his impact off the court, but last night was for the folks in miami to see him on the court one last time. miami heat legend dwyane wade took the court in what's expected to be his last game ever on his home court in miami. and the 37-year-old turned back the clock, dropping 30 in the heat win. >> i'm sitting here the most thankful person in this state. >> reporter: his home arena was littered with legacy shirts and banners all paying homage to the 13-time all star who led the heat franchise to its only three nba championships. one of those alongside shaquille o'neal and two more titles with his buddy, lebron, finishing as the team's all-time leader in points, assists and steals. the heat honored the superstar pre-game with an emotional tribute video featuring highlights from his storied career. the star-studded tributes included surprise shout-outs from president barack obama.

>> congratulations on a great run. >> reporter: -- and derek jeter. >> i wish you nothing but the best. >> reporter: capped off by a special pre-game introduction voiced by his son zaire. >> my dad, dwyane. >> reporter: the grand finale was a full family affair. wade's mother and father were on hand with wife gabrielle union and their baby daughter kaavia seated court side. >> you like that, huh? >> couldn't have started any better. as if it were scripted. >> reporter: his nba counterparts also paid their respects on the retirement tour, swapping jerseys at the end of games. wade invited his whole team to exchange after this win. with the help of budweiser wade exchanged jerseys with those he's inspired and uplifted over his storied career, including s n mother, pastor jolinda wade. >> you are bigger than basketball. >> reporter: at the end, the heat legend addressed the home crowd one last time. >> wade county, i love you. >> perfect night but i'm sorry,

if anything did go wrong last night -- just give me a minute. stay with me, robin. he has this iconic thing he does where he jumps up on the scorer's table and gets the crowd hyped. he was going to do that one last time. look what happened. he jumps once, didn't make it. he tries a second time and -- >> he is retired now so i mean, that happens. >> he made a joke of it but it took him three tries. those are 37-year-old legs now, robin. >> i'm glad you mentioned all that he has accomplished off the court as well. >> that's what it's about. >> another great player, last home game as well, dirk. >> he changed the game. it's hard to put this into words. dirk nowitzki revolutionized -- he's the first big guy -- you see big guys shooting threes. he was the guy. we didn't know what to do with him when he first came to the league. 21 years with the same team. the tributes there last night. he scored 30 last night. d. wade scored 30 last night. not a lot of defense last night.

>> the last game. >> thank you, t.j. also this morning, the latest on new trouble for actress lori loughlin. she and 15 other parents hit with new charges in the college admissions scandal. the big question, will they face decades behind bars. and the playboy model accused of murder. we have that coming up ahead, but first, ginger. as fun as it is to say april blizzard, and we all kind of react, like, ugh. the severe storms on the front end of that snowstorm today could bring you hail right here in kansas, parts of missouri and nebraska. watch out for that and also damaging winds possible. your local weather in 30 seconds. first the hot cities sponsored by amazon.

and some big news overnight stpingown as the lakers' team president. the nba legend made the surprise announcement at a press conference. he told reporters he wants to return to the life he had before entering management. >> a surprise. but we have that new trouble for actress lori loughlin facing new charges in the college admissions cheating case that could land her and her husband behind bars for a significant period of time. linsey davis is here with the latest. good morning, linsey. . >> reporter: good morning, robin. the 13 parents who pled guilty on monday prior to the grand jury indictment yesterday were spared this new criminal charge, but for 16 parents who had not given their intention to plead guilty including actress lori loughlin, the potential prison time they face if convicted just doubled. this morning, more legal trouble for actress lori loughlin and her husband. they're among 16 parents now facing an additional criminal charge in the college admissions scandal. already charged with mail fraud, they're now also accused of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

prosecutors say the former "full house" star and her fashion designer husband shelled out $5 their daughters, including youtube star olivia jade, into usc. >> this is olivia jade. >> reporter: this new charge comes one day after actress felicity huffman and a dozen other parents agreed to plead guilty to mail fraud conspiracy. >> do you plan to fight this? >> reporter: the "desperate housewives" star stone-faced as she left federal court last week in boston. this in stark contrast to loughlin smiling before her own court appearance and signing autographs after arriving in boston. >> lori, felicity accepted a plea deal. will you be doing the same? >> reporter: in this new video yesterday, loughlin appears more subdued. if convicted, she and her husband could face up to 20 years in prison for each charge at a cell like this one in a minimum security prison like this in west virginia, the same place where martha stewart was locked up for five months after she was found guilty in 2004 ofr

everybody that you love and you're just locked away. >> reporter: jennifer myers served 17 months at the same prison after she got involved in marijuana trafficking through an ex-boyfriend. now a prison consultant, she helps nonviolent, first-time offenders prepare for their new life behind bars in federal prison. she says for women with privileged backgrounds, the experience can be especially difficult. >> it is challenging. there's probably a lot of shame she's going to experience. to have humility around the guards, being watched, being counted, the entire world of prison is going to be completely opposite than what somebody like lori has ever experienced before. >> reporter: meanwhile, "dance mom" abby lee miller who served eight months in federal prison offered this advice on "inside edition" to huffman who legal experts say faces roughly four to ten months behind bars. >> be respectful of everyone. keep a very low profile. be kind to people.

tell your story but listen. >> reporter: now with this additional charge, if convicted, legal experts say that loughlin likely faces the possibility of three years or more behind bars while huffman could potentially not have any jail time at all, though you have to imagine that the judge won't want to have the appearance of any kind of celebrity justice here. >> we'll have to see. thank you very much. sunny hostin is going to join us right now. these new charges are no joke. >> no, it's very, very serious and she was already looking at serious charges. we're talking about mail fraud, wire fraud, but in this case, the added factor of money laundering, i mean, you see that kind of charge with organized crime and gun cases and drug cases, and i think when a jury looks at that, money funneling through a charity, that extra ick factor makes juries really take a pause and think, what kind of behavior is really going on here? >> big risk for them to go before a jury. what we don't know is did they reject a plea deal that some of

the other parents took. >> i think that's probably likely. you know, in a case like this, i've said from the very beginning, any kind of plea that would be offered has to contemplate at the very least some sort of prison time. i mean, linsey made it very clear, i think, prosecutors don't want the appearance in a case like this which is a case about privilege that some people will get celebrity justice. >> talking half a million dollars. >> exactly. so if they got some sort of plea i guess that contained a lot of jail time, then you have someone that rejected a plea and now prosecutors are saying, oh, you want to reject a plea, no problem, this is the additional type of case you're now looking at. >> speaking of appearances, we saw loughlin outside of court smiling, she's shaking hands, signing autographs, taking photos. is that something that the prosecutor takes into consideration? >> michael, i can only tell you that when i was prosecuting these kind of cases, i did look at defendants' demeanor. i looked at the behavior in a courtroom, and when you don't see remorse, when you don't see

that someone is taking someone seriously, the court system seriously, you look at it and you consider it. you do. >> you saw what felicity huffman -- her statement which is absolutely opposite of what we're seeing with lori loughlin. >> it was so appropriate. she took responsibility for her actions and more than that, she said, my daughter didn't know anything about it. i did something wrong, and i apologize to the families that did the right thing. that's what you want to see, and i do think that she will spend some time in prison. i do think no celebrity justice here. prosecutors definitely want to punish. the system is intended to punish, but prosecutors also recommend sentences to send a message to the community that certain behaviors will not be tolerated, and i think we're going to see that across the board here. >> in the end it will be up to the judges. sunny, thanks very much. >> y'all going to behave on "the view" today? >> i hope so. i hope so. >> thank you, sunny. we're going to turn now to a baby rescue caught on camera. a quick-thinking police officer

she was struggling to breathe. >> reporter: you could see the moment the 19-year veteran leaps into action, holding the baby face down and pattinba, something cappell says he's learned in training. >> okay, come on, baby. you're all right. >> once i heard the baby crying, it was the best sound i've ever heard in my life. >> okay, she's crying now so she's getting air. >> reporter: this morning, the mother of two grateful for the officer in this harrowing rescue. >> i am just extremely, extremely grateful and i am, like, indebted to him forever. it was amazing. it was truly amazing. >> this family did everything right. they knew they needed help so they called 911 right away. harley's grateful mother says that when she heard that cry it was like the sound of an angel. guys, this is such a great example of good training coming in handy that applies to everyone, not just to police officers. >> thank you, will. >> thank you. coming up, everybody, we have the playboy model who's accused of murder.

and the doctor who authorities say had been paying her rent. she's the 25-year-old model who once graced the covers of men's magazines, and even appeared in "playboy," but now the only picture kelsey turner is posing for, a mugshot, after being accused of killing a california psychiatrist. and this morning, authorities say her two accomplices are still at large. turner, now in an orange jumpsuit, on monday appearing in a california courtroom for the murder of 71-year-old thomas burchard. police say they found his body in the trunk of the model's car, abandoned in the las vegas desert last month. >> it's been really difficult. my whole world has literally been turned upside down. >> reporter: burchard's girlfriend of 17 years, judy earp, speaking out, saying the doctor had befriended turner, and provided her with some $300,000 over the past two years. >> he helped her financially. he helped so many people with their rent, you know, car payments or education. >> reporter: according to an

arrest warrant obtained by abc news, burchard traveled to vegas with the intent to visit turner. he was attacked inside the vehicle and died from blunt force trauma to the head. >> i received some texts that i didn't think were from him. the vocabulary was not his vocabulary, and i said on the text, you need to call me because i don't think this is you. >> reporter: police say burchard had also been helping turner pay to live in this nevada rental home. inside they say they found blood and cleaning supplies, calling it evidence of a cleanup. while a possible motive remains unclear, earp insists their relationship wasn't sexual. >> he thought he could solve people's problems. with her though, she severely took advantage of it. >> now, police arrested the model in california but she is awaiting extradition to las vegas. she is due back in court next week, but there is still an urgent hunt right now for those two alleged accomplices.

don't pay anything. purdue university started this program in 2016. >> shifts the risk from the student to the investor. so if things go very poorly, it's the investor who's on the hook and not the student. exactly the reverse of what happens in a debt or loan situation. >> reporter: and while taking out an isa doesn't preclude you from also taking out a federal loan, some financial experts warn, be cautious. >> at the end of the day these students are still forking over part of their salary for a set amount of time, so for students i always caution them, again, go to a school that you can afford. >> many questions still about isas. so how much you repay these investors is going to vary depending on how much you earn after college. so the more you make, the more you pay. the less you make, the less you make, george. >> lots of questions there, paula. thanks very much. let's bring them to our financial expert and best selling author nicole lapin. thanks for coming in. let's look at the upside. >> the upside is you know exactly when you're going to be

done with this student loan repayment. we have so much stress and anxiety and this lessens that. you know in ten years i'm done with this portion. >> and the down side? >> the down side is that you are betting against yourself. you're looking ahead, you're fast forwarding the videotape of your career and you're saying i'm going to be underemployed or unemployed. i'm not going to be able to make these student loan repayments and traditional student loan payments are actually lower than if you give a portion of your salary. >> nicole lapin, thanks very much. let's go to robin. to a "gma" health alert. we have the cdc warning about a dangerous super bug. it's drug resistant and has sickened almost 600 people in the u.s. across 12 states. dr. jennifer ashton is here with what we need to know so break this down. >> this is a bad actor. this is a very deadly and resistant type of yeast or fungus. it is resistant to most medications and according to the cdc has a fatality rate killing anywhere from 30% to 60% of the patients who come down with it.

historical perspective, it was only first identified ten years ago. it's the new kid on the block. three years ago the cdc put out an alert about it. now they're calling this an emerging global public health threat so it's to be taken seriously. >> absolutely. and who is most at risk? >> the good news, robin, is that this is still incredibly rare. for the most part this is something that only patients who are hospitalized, critically ill, in long-term care facilities with multiple tubes and lines have to worry about, but again, if you are in that population, this is something that is concerning a lot of health providers because how to protect ourselves with it, when we clean and disinfect these rooms, we need to find other disinfectants that can kill this type of yeast. >> anything else we can do? >> on the outside world, we don't need to worry about it. the onus of responsibility is for health care providers. we need to be able to identify it, test for it, suspect it so our radar is up and then we need to develop some kind of arsenal inur toolbox to treat it and
