7:02 am
a. >> we do. >> we have a lot of news to get to, and we'll begin with the latest from that terror attack overseas. authorities are now naming a motive as isis also claims responsibility. >> this as authorities make more arrests. our foreign correspondent james longman is there on the scene for us again this morning. good morning, james. >> reporter: hi, yeah. good morning, robin. as we come on the air as you have said, we now have a claim of responsibility by isis. it's come through one of their news channels. it's not clear what if any material help they've given but their claim reinforces fears that a foreign network was involved. i'm at saint sebastian church where more than 100 people died. you can see blown out windows and doors behind me. today is a national day of mourning. this country shocked and angry at attacks that could have been stopped. this morning, death looms large over sri lanka as the toll from sunday's suicide attack passes 300. a nationwide state of emergency
7:03 am
remains in effect and memorial services get under way for the victims. at least 40 people have been arrested in connection with the attacks and we're now seeing footage showing a man with a backpack believed to be one of the bombers approaching saint sebastian church just before the attack. police investigating. watch as the man winds his way through the people who would become his victims. another angle shows him walking by while worshippers play and the moments later the roof blown completely off. among the victims children of danish billionaire anders holch pavlsen. the biggest shareholder behind asos was on vacation, killing three of his four children. the bombings also claiming the lives of at least four american. >> we mourn the lives of the victim, some were indeed citizens. this is america's fight too. >> reporter: the first u.s. casualty to be identified dieter kowalski from denver standing in line waiting for breakfast when the bomb went off and 11-year-old kieran shafritz de zoysa from washington, d.c. his grieving father still in
7:04 am
shock. >> i don't know what's in the mind of a terrorist but they, i'm sure, don't know what they took. they do not know what they took from the world. a brilliant mind who was going to be a neuroscientist and he won't make it to his 12th -- his 12th birthday. >> reporter: very, very sad. now, the fbi is helping with the investigation while authorities here are coming under increased pressure to explain why after repeated warnings they failed to stop these horrors and today a suggestion from the government that this was in retaliation for the new zealand mosque attacks, robin. >> all right, james, thank you. authorities arrested at least 40 suspects believed to be linked to a local terrorist group and as we heard isis is now claiming responsibility. abc's chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has more from washington on that and the possible motive. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning,
7:05 am
cecilia. it was the defense minister in sri lanka who is now saying this was in retaliation for the mosque attack in new zealand just last month. an australian man was charged in that mass shooting, but the sri lankan authorities offered no proof although they are under intense scrutiny given the failure to act on clear specific information that a little-known local radical islamist group was planning to attack churches. investigators have been tracking the group, but that secret security warning had not been shared with the public, and the question is, cecilia, could lives have been saved? >> american officials are certainly going to want to know the answer to that. james said the fbi is involved in this now. do you have a sense of what they've been learning? >> reporter: the fbi and others are looking to see what kind of outside help the group may have had including potential links to isis. this was clearly well planned with multiple suicide bombings, six different locations and three different cities and while we do not know yet for certain whether isis or some other
7:06 am
international terror group was involved even despite that claim the sophistication and the horrific nature of this violence including children has all the hallmarks of isis or like-minded groups, cecilia. >> so much destruction. okay, martha. thank you. george? we'll stay in washington for the debate over impeachment. in the wake of the mueller report, nancy employpelosi and the 2020 candidates took the stage in town halls in new hampshire. jon karl has the story. good morning, jon. facing intense pressure to begin impeachment proceedings in the house nancy pelosi convened an extraordinary conference call with house democrats yesterday. she heard from many who want that impeachment process to start now. but she made it clear she wants to hold off at least for now. >> reporter: as speaker of the house nancy pelosi faces intense pressure from fellow house members to begin impeachment proceedings, some of the most high-profile democratic presidential candidates are now piling on too.
7:07 am
to illustrate how strongly she feels about impeaching donald trump elizabeth warren brought up a new democratic rallying cry. lock him up. >> if any other human being in this country has done what's documented in the mueller report they would be arrested and put in jail. >> reporter: warren was the first major democratic presidential candidate to respond to the mueller report by calling for impeachment. during a series of cnn town hall meetings last night senator kamala harris said she too wants impeachment hearings. >> i believe congress should take the steps towards impeachment. >> reporter: the embrace of impeachment puts harris and warren at odds with pelosi who is preaching caution. we showed proceed down a path of finding the truth pelosi wrote, it is also important to know that the facts regarding holding the president accountable can be gained outside of impeachment hearings. warren rejected pelosi's call for caution. >> there is no political inconvenience exception to the united states constitution.
7:08 am
>> reporter: but not all democratic presidential candidates are on the impeachment bandwagon. >> all that the congress is talking about is impeaching trump and trump, trump, trump and mueller, mueller, mueller. what i worry about is that works to trump's advantage. >> there is a third way to hold this president accountable and that is by defeating him in the 2020 election and i believe i can do that. >> i think he's made it clear he deserves impeachment. i'll leave it to the house and senate to figure that out because my role and progress is trying to relegate trumpism to history. >> reporter: regardless president trump insists he's not concerned in the least. >> are you worried about impeachment, mr. president? >> not even a little bit. >> reporter: i'm told pelosi's conference call lasted well over an hour, george, and was quite impassioned although she made the case for proceeding cautiously and not starting impeachment now, she also pointedly did not rule it out.
7:09 am
what she said the house should start doing now though is go through a series of investigations outside of the impeachment process. >> okay, thanks very much. more on that from terry moran. and that impeachment just one part of a multi-front showdown between the white house and the congress over white house operations and the president's personal business. >> reporter: that's exactly right, george. what's happening here, the democrats are getting aggressive now that the mueller investigation has closed on these new fronts, for example, today the president is now suing his own accounting firm and the house oversight committee because that committee has subpoenaed vast amounts of the business records of donald trump. trump says that he doesn't have to turn those over as a private citizen, congress doesn't have the power to do it. on another front, one of the critical witnesses in the mueller report, the former white house counsel don mcgahn who told robert mueller that the president had ordered him to get mueller fired at the justice
7:10 am
department and then when that didn't work the president -- that story broke and the president ordered mcgahn to lie to the public that he had ever given such an order. the house wants mcgahn in the witness chair and the president is trying to block that as well. so you see this is just beginning. democrats getting very aggressive, seeking information from president trump's private financial records. he's fighting back. le tit will end up in court. >> no question. could string out for quite a long time. another deadline is being met today, the deadline the house set for the president to turn over his tax returns. >> reporter: that's right, so the house now wants the president's personal tax returns dating back several years. the president says it's a fishing expedition but the house relying on that old 1924 law that allows certain chairs who write tax laws to subpoena anyone's tax returns and the law is pretty clear. it says, the treasury secretary shall turn over those tax
7:11 am
returns. if secretary mnuchin does not do that today, the house might vote to find him in contempt and that will end up in court too. >> a lot of battles ahead. terry moran, thanks very much. robin? >> indeed, george. overseas now to two powerful earthquakes rocking the philippines. early this morning another one shaking the center of the country on the heels of monday's deadly quake that killed at least 11 people. rescue crews on the scene pulling survivors from the public. ian pannell has the latest for us. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, robin. that's right. rescuers still fighting to deal with the aftermath of monday's quake when the ground started to shake again in another major seismic strike. overnight, another earthquake rocking the philippines as the country still is reeling from monday's 6.1 magnitude quake. killing at least 16 people with many still missing and over 80 injured. search and rescue efforts pulling people from under the debris. family members rushing to their loved ones as they try to save anyone they can.
7:12 am
a brief moment of joy as rescue workers celebrate after this man was pulled out from underneath the wreckage alive. several buildings in complete ruins. others heavily damaged like this church and this airport north of manila. the former home to an american air force base that left seven people injured and over 100 flights canceled. the quake so strong, water from a pool on top of this skyscraper gushing down the moment the quake hit as the race goes on to find the missing. the philippines part of the so-called ring of fire which means it does see a lot of seismic activity but still two earthquakes in two days, a massive burden for people and rescuers alike. george? >> no question about that. thank you very much. we'll get the latest now on that would-be billionaire now facing bankruptcy and possibly years in jail. theranos founder elizabeth
7:13 am
holmes appeared in court as she faces charges of fraud and linsey davis has that story. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, george. just a few years ago, she was named one of "forbes'" richest women in america. today she is estimated to be worth zero dollars charged within elaborate years' long freud accused of duping investors out of millions by claiming to have a blood testing technology that prosecutors say her company simply did not have. elizabeth holmes, the self-made ceo once worth an estimated $9 billion seen here walking out of federal court in san jose. the appearance of the former theranos founder comes as the judge is expected to set a trial date in july. holmes is currently facing charges on wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. the now-35-year-old dropped out of stanford at 19 to start theranos promising to revolutionize the health care industry with a few drops of blood and after modeling her career after tech giants like steve jobs -- >> do you swear to tell the truth --
7:14 am
>> i do. >> reporter: -- the former ceo stands before federal prosecutors who says she knew theranos' products did not work. >> i don't know at that moment what i understood. >> reporter: holmes was spotted a few weeks ago inside edition capturing a much different side of the former ceo. the once signature black turtleneck she donned gone. holmes seen here wearing a white t-shirt and cap. >> a lot of people think it was heartless you were partying at burning man when your company was closing its doors. >> reporter: the drama unfolds before america with a slew of cover stories from documentaries to books to the abc news podcast "the dropout" now being adapted into a hulu series starring "snl's" kate mckinnon, one of silicon valley's biggest stars who is used to the cameras, is coming under a harsher spotlight. defense attorneys say they need more time so they can review a million pages of documents. holmes entered a plea of not guilty. if convicted she could face a
7:15 am
maximum of 20 years in prison and a fine of more than $2 million, and possible the judge could delay the start of the trial until next year. >> linsey, thanks very much. setback for samsung. they are delaying the release of nearly $2,000 foldable fine after complaints of screens breaking. abc's janai norman has more. a lot not so happy about it. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. samsung promised us a phone that folds into the size of a small tablet all for the principally sum, $2,000. well, it appears the phone is not quite ready for prime time. test users reported all sorts of problems with the aptly named, samsung galaxy fold. debris getting underneath the screen malfunctioning displays, even total failure of the device after just a couple days of basic usage then the problem of users removing the protective layer of off the screen thinking it was a simple screen protector but this layer is not to be removed and samsung promises to be more clear about that and
7:16 am
they introduced the fold to much fanfare back in february and seen as a game changer in an industry that's become stag annapolis, its screen expanding to more than 7 inches, but these images not as pretty as the ones samsung showed us at that announcement. not quite so nice looking there. certainly not what the company nor users expected. >> yeah, if you're going to pay 2,000 bucks for a phone it should work. samsung isn't giving up saying they'll still release it at some point soon. >> right. so i mean a phone that costs $2,000, it should make calls for you, send emails for you. that's the big question. acknowledging improvements must be made, all samsung would say is to fully evaluate this feedback and run further internal tests. we have decided to delay the release of the galaxy fold and plan to announce the release date in the coming weeks. it's anyone's guess when it will arrive. when it does we hope it is worth every penny.
7:17 am
>> or the price comes down. >> somewhere i hear my parents laughing right now. $2,000 phone. i hear you, mom and dad. >> thanks, janai. a lot of other stories we're following this morning, including the latest on the indiana murder mystery. a lot of new clues are out there. this new video of the suspect accused of killing two teens and also a new sketch and an audio clip of his voice and chilling warnings from the police on that. also this morning, an abc news exclusive. amazon's major announcement that could change the way you receive your deliveries. you'll see it here first on "gma." right now over to ginger. >> let's start with the tornado. very rarely do we get to call a tornado beautiful but this one in a field not impacting anyone. that rope tornado formation, i have a been storm chasing since i was in college and seen a couple of these. they are just gorgeous when they are not hurting anybody. it was one of two reported in texas yesterday. that was in fisher county. same storm did this, in the mountains of new mexico.

7:31 am
isis claimed responsibility for that deadly terror attack in sri lanka. a local radical islamic group has also been blamed. sri lanka's minister of defense now says the motive was retaliation for the march attack on those mosques in new zealand. and queen elizabeth has officially invited president trump and the first lady to the uk for a state visit. the trumps have accepted and will head there from june 3rd to june 5th. and back here at home. you remember this, the winner of that $768 million powerball jackpot is set to come forward in wisconsin this afternoon to claim the prize. this is the third largest in u.s. history. if the winner chooses the lump sum, guys, get this, $477 million. not a bad day at the office. >> not at all. right now, we're going to get new developments in that indiana murder mystery. police have released new images and audio of the man. alex perez has the latest. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning. authorities believe they will find whoever took the girls from this trail. they believe their suspect lived
7:32 am
or maybe even still lives in town. >> to the killer, who may be in this room, we believe you are hiding in plain sight. >> reporter: this morning, a determined police department and a small indiana community on edge for two years with a killer on the loose. >> we know that this is about power to you, and you want to know what we know. one day you will. >> reporter: authorities investigating the murders of 13-year-old abby wilams and 14-year-old libby german sharing new evidence. the teenagers were murdered back in february of 2017. last seen on this hiking trail snapchatting near this bridge in delphi. libby police believe captured this cellphone image of the suspect on the same bridge because she feared they were in danger. authorities for the first time saying they believe the killer is likely a local. >> watch the mannerisms as he walks.
7:33 am
do you recognize the mannerisms as being someone that you might know? >> reporter: the man's voice also captured on audio and in a newly released clip, we can hear more of the suspect's chilling voice talking to the girls shortly before they were killed. >> guys, down the hill. guys, down the hill. >> reporter: initially investigators released this sketch of the suspect, but now releasing this younger looking image saying the man is between 18 and 40 years old. >> for more than two years, you never thought we would shift gears to a different investigative strategy, but we have. we likely have interviewed or someone close to you. >> reporter: the hunt for the killer is now intensifying. >> when he said he could very well be in this room, that he could be under our noses and the people here that live in delphi, i mean, that's frightening. >> reporter: authorities are stressing they believe the
7:34 am
suspect appears to be much younger than he actually is. they're hoping this newly released evidence will be what they need to crack the case. george. >> okay, alex, thanks very much. let's bring in callahan walsh from the national center of missing and exploited children. callahan, thanks for coming in this morning. pretty dramatic to see the investigators talking directly to the person they think did this. what do you make of the shift in strategy? >> well, i think they have some new information. i think they have a new eyewitness that came forward. you see the new sketch so they have more information there. they're also asking about a vehicle. not specifically a car but a vehicle that was parked near that trail head which i think they believe is the vehicle of the suspect so with new information they're shifting gears and they're putting this out to the public, making sure they're keeping this case alive. i think that's so important. >> it is so important. that sketch is such a drastic difference from the one that we saw originally so as you're saying you feel there's somebody new that possibly came forward. >> right. the sketch isn't created from the video. a sketch like that is mostly done when someone is describing what a person looks like.
7:35 am
it's not a computer-generated image from that video or anything like that. so it could be somebody they interviewed in the past or somebody new who came forward and looking inwards at the community hoping that others come forward as well with any information. you know, people sometimes think their tip may be insignificant and so they don't say anything but it can oftentimes be the key that unlocks the door to justice. >> we're calling this audio and video clip new, but actually investigators have had this clip from the start. why release it now? >> they're hoping people can look at the gait. how this guy walked and try to determine maybe that looks like a relative that they have or somebody that they know. so, again, leaking a little bit more -- i wouldn't say leaking but releasing a little more information really keeps the community invested in this crime and if anybody out there who did know anything and maybe it's weighing on their conscience they're seeing it out there again, and they're getting a reminder. you need to do the right thing. >> that press conference was really something to watch. the police looking right into
7:36 am
the camera, speaking directly to the killer calling him a coward saying they think he could be in the community. what's the strategy behind that? >> oftentimes when individuals commit crimes they will stay close to the investigation. we see people burn down houses and watch the firefighters put the fire out. it's the same with crimes like this so he's likely very close to the investigation and also trying to take the temperature of the investigators to determine what they know and how close and how hot on his trail that they are. so it's not very -- it's not unlikely he could have been a volunteer who helped in the search, a firefighter, a paramedic, somebody that's involved in this investigation. it's a tight-knit community. it's not a very big area and i think they're really hoping that if he's there at the press conference or if he was involved in the investigation -- >> do you really think that's possible? >> absolutely. absolutely. >> didn't they take the names of everybody there? >> they did. which is usual, very unusual and a sign they think this guy is right there in the woodwork. >> thanks again for coming in.
7:37 am

8:19 am
actually looked at as a biomarker, as a window into overall male health which is relatively new. there are some clues it could be male factor. number one, loss of body hair in the man, chronic severe illnesses all over the body, also have the ability to affect sperm, a history of drug use and or smoking. bad for the lungs and the rest of the body and steroid or testosterone use, good for muscles possibly. really bad for sperm -- >> how about age? >> age is a factor. again, men obviously as we know, their sperm can work up to their 60s, 70s and 80s, but there's an effect on the male factor and you see a slightly increased risk of schizophrenia and autism of the offspring born to older dads. again, there's a biological clock at play for men as well. >> one of the things we wanted to do is erase stigma around this. >> we hear about how fertility is thought of it makes a woman a woman. of course, that's not true.
8:20 am
men can go through the same stigma and they think if something is wrong with my sperm, it makes me less of a man. this is obviously not the case and we need to increase awareness on it. i want to thank my mom for giving birth to me. >> we are all grateful for that. now to ginger. >> and let's do a little "gma" moment. we go to sarasota, florida, for this one. this is actually tortoise tuesday. if you ever needed a little nudge, you got to ask this guy. see. he pushed his friend and he's like, wait a minute, do i really want to go that slow. oh, you're saying we got to speed up. look at how fast the guy in front starts going. yeah, i think i need one of those today on tortoise tuesday. a little nudge from a friend. thank you so much to patty for good morning. are you ready for some record warm temperatures? it's possible today and

8:36 am
i'll reveal that at her high school graduation. >> for many how do you describe "detective pikachu" that don't know the movie well. >> they're made for pokemon fans and have no experience but also people who care and love the pokemon culture and evident in every frame but it's the story about family and friend and love and loss and hope and all these wonderful things n the world we are live in it's so refreshing and nice to see you get absorbed into this world that is as detailed as rhyme city and the pokemon landscape. it's really amazing. >> we cannot wait to see it. we know you have a lot of fun planned in tokyo this week. we can't wait to see that on "gma" as well and i know you'll be here live. >> i think we sent a little gift basket your way. >> oh, yeah, we got it. thank you, guys. >> hand selected.

[ applause ] i thoroughly enjoyed the book. it's thought provoking. what made you want to write this book now? >> because equality can't wait. i feel like we have this moment in time. this window is open. [ applause ] yeah. this window is open because of the me too movement, the number of women who have come into congress but yet if we don't use this window of time, we won't
8:41 am
really get equality. and even at the current rate we're getting women into congress which looks promising it will still take us 60 years to reach equality in congress. 60 years and that's too long. >> no, it is. you back up -- you back everything up with data and talk to real people and get everything behind it and what you say about lifting up women that when we do that, it's not at the expense of men or anyone else that when you lift women, we -- all of society is lifted. >> absolutely and i totally believe that. it takes women and it takes men to look at what are the actions we need to take in our home, workplace, community because if you lift up women and then you have men and women equal it changes societies. i've seen it all over the world. >> the bottom line increases, i mean, not only the right thing to do, it's also just makes sense. if you want to lift people up and want societyo be better it works that way.

8:43 am
bewitched by your wife but then other men started walking with him and realized how hard it was and started bicycling and decided to build wells and water pans in their area. >> wow. [ applause ] walk in somebody else's shoes. >> you name what you need. it takes courage. >> it does. you revealed some things about yourself. you are -- i don't want to say reluctant in being a public figure. you write about that too because your husband and your family but you knew that the bigger cause you had to step forward. you shared something about before you met bill, before you were married about being in an abusive relationship. why did you teal that was so important to share. >> yeah, that was the hardest part of the book to write by a lot and i have only talked to family and friends about it in recent years but i thought it was important to write because what i realized was i completely lost my voice.
8:44 am
i lost my self-confidence and when i go all over the world, places in the u.s., india, different countries in africa, when i stay and talk to women long enough, it is happening to millions of women and i wanted to write down my stories so people can understand it can happen to absolutely anybody and we need to change that. >> we do need to change that. [ applause ] in the time that we have left, what is so wonderful, you shared this story about -- because you -- in case -- she's married to bill gates. i don't know if you heard that. oh, by the way. but how the time story. when a friend asked about how you -- two powerful people, how you co-exist and talked about a time cop. >> what bill framed up so beautifully because i think one of our biggest struggles for us in our marriage, how do we allocate our time between us and our three kids and busy lives and what bill said said really beautifully was he reel lieded
8:45 am
it wasn't good for either of us to be the time cop even though i felt that way but it's having shared goals for your family and work life that no one is the time cop. everyone is trying to figure out what is the right allocation given our goals as a family. >> you heard him say that and you thought, he's got it. never enough time. i know you'll spend more time online because it is a very important message. it is a thoughtful, thought-provoking, enlightening book and thank you so much for sharing it with us. melinda gates.
