have been an intentional act. the scene doesn't show evidence of braking. >> reporter: emergency crews transported at least eight people to the hospital. the youngest victim, a 13-year-old girl. >> we do know several of the patients that we treated on scene have serious injuries. >> reporter: the big question this morning is why? authorities say they're looking in to see if drugs or alcohol were involved or if that driver knew any of the victims. at this point they believe it an isolated incident. george. >> thanks very much. now to new developments in that deadly terror attack in sri lanka. we're learning more about the identity of the bombers, one of them a woman and authorities are making more arrests as the death toll continues to climb. abc's james longman is on the scene in colombo. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, george. a lot of activity here overnight. 20 more people have now been arrested across this country, meaning 60 are now in police country. some of the booby-trapped vehicles have been found but the hunt is still on for more bombs as we discover a woman was part of the plot.

with the death toll at now at least 359 this is probably isis' deadly ever single attack. watch in this chilling video you can clearly see one of the bombers about to set off his explosive in the church, brushing past a little girl with a bomb on his back only to kill scores of children moments later. and news emerging this morning that a woman was part of the plot. she set off a suicide vest at this safe house that killed her, two children and three police officers hours after the suicide bombings on easter sunday. >> what's interesting, it's owned by an said whose other property was raided back in january and found explosives at that time. seem to be pretty extraordinary security lapses. >> reporter: the fbi now joining the investigation poring over new surveillance images. authorities looking at the men in this video wearing backpacks in a hotel elevator. >> isis has claimed responsibility. there were foreign links that this could not have been just locally.

>> reporter: while the prime minister says isis has claimed responsibility, the terror group has yet to offer proof. sri lankan officials were given warnings but did not act on the tips. the government says these who -- horrors were revenge for what happened in new zealand but the prime minister there saying that's not the case. >> we haven't received any intelligence reports that corroborate what's been said in sri lanka. >> reporter: now, critical locations are all being secured. airports, embassies and churches, stepped up security and this country is trying to mourn but still braced for further attacks. cecilia? >> they sure are. okay, james. thank you. as we have been reporting, isis has claimed responsibility for those bombings, raising questions about how strong the group is, after losing territory in the middle east. abc's chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has more from washington. martha, good morning. how are you u.s. officials responding? >> reporter: well, cecilia, the fbi and department of homeland security issuing an intelligence

bulletin saying that isis will almost certainly use these sri lankan bombings to further its rhetoric for like-minded attacks and counterintelligence officials believe they were not just inspired by isis but could have been directed and coordinated by veterans of isis battles in iraq and syria who returned to sri lanka after the defeat of isis. the attacks were clearly well-financed. the bombmaking, sophisticated and the coordination really nearly flawless. this may be a look at isis 2.0 and we have heard president trump say it was defeated in iraq and syria but this is a group whose radical ideology is still spreading across the globe and clearly still posing a powerful and deadly threat. george? >> it lives online. thanks very much. we go to the white house now where president trump is taking a new hard line against litigations, strongly suggesting

he will block his former white house counsel don mcgahn and other aides from testifying in front of the house. jon, mcgahn is the star witness dealing with obstruction of justice. >> reporter: he was the star witness in the mueller report which is exactly why democrats want him to testify before congress. he was the white house counsel, george, for 21 months, and witness to multiple efforts by the president to take control of the investigation, but the president is suggesting that he wants to block all of his aides, former and current, from testifying before the house, which he says amounts to testifying before the democrats that control the house. this is what he told "the washington post." i don't want people testifying to a party because that is what they're doing if they do this. then he went further with the post and suggested that because mcgahn and others have testified before the special counsel, there's no need. he said i allowed my lawyers and all my people to go and testify to mueller and you know how i feel about that whole group of people that did the mueller report. i was so transparent and they

testified for so many hours. they have all that information that's been given, but, george, some legal experts say the very fact that the president allowed those aides to talk to the special counsel means he cannot now declare executive privilege to keep them from talking to congress >> that's the point. in another committee threatening to hold an administration official in contempt because the white house is preventing him from testifying about security clearances. >> reporter: yes. this is carl kline. he was the head of the white house personnel security office in charge of those security clearances. congress has subpoenaed him to testify as demanded he testify. he is saying that he will not because he has been directed by the white house counsel not to testify, and he has an interesting answer to this. he says he has two masters from two equal branches of government both making demands of

asking him to testify, another asking him not to. he's going to go with the one that signs his paycheck. >> the treasury secretary defying this. >> steve mnuchin thinks that there are legal problems with the request and is not going to give a firm answer on this, yes or no and whether he will turn them over after may 6th. that's after he gets an opinion from the department of justice. >> jon karl, thanks very much. president trump is about to face a new challenge in the race for the white house. former vice president joe biden set to launch husband campaiis thursday. polls show he will be the early front-runner in a crowded field. he may enter but a lot of hurdles. >> especially things have trailed and his party since he campaigned about seven years ago. now what we know is that in the next 24 hours, democrats will have a new candidate for president. vice president joe biden expected to release a video showing he is running for president. biden is planning a rally in pittsburgh on monday to follow up, and pennsylvania is a

battleground state. it's where he grew up, but it's a state that donald trump part of biden's argument he is a digit who could win back states. like his experience his voting record is extensive addressing past interactions with women and crossed the line with unwanted kisses and hugs and he will be more mindful going forward, he says. he will enter in many polls as you mentioned show him as the front-runner but joins a crowded field and that's just an understatement by our count, the 20th democrat to enter the race, george. as you know, he's 76 years old. if he were to run and win he would be 78, the oldest ever elected president. >> tom llamas, thanks very much. that sex abuse scandal rocking the boy scouts. the organization is accused of keeping a confidential file on abusive troop leaders and volunteers documenting thousands of allegations over decades. according to new court testimony from an expert who has reviewed the figles, there has been more than 12,000 alleged

time, but that sense of vulnerability has always been part of her appeal, and i think that makes people invest in her as a human being. through all the storms she has gone through, i think people still feel for her as though she needs protection somehow, and she's someone whose struggles they identify with. i remember interviewing her in 2000. in hawaii, i asked who are you going to vote for. she said probably who my parents tell me to vote for. i said what are you going to do this afternoon? she said probably sneak past my bodyguard and read a book on the beach. there's life as a child star. compliance and those little l l rebellions. >> you were telling us earlier one thing that makes her situation so unique is she's only one of a few stars who has no control of her personal affairs. as far as her stature. >> reporter: that's right. she has got a court-approved conservatorship that oversees her every significant purchase and oversees her every key decision. it's unparalleled for someone at the front of this multimillion

dollar franchise. and the question that people have always had is, does this conservatorship imprison her or protect her from things she wouldn't be able to handle otherwise and, again, that feeling of concern that her fans always have about her. along with the great affection you can have for all those amazing songs she's done and you remember, like all the work people like taylor swift has done, that's all coming from what britney did years ago. it's all the affection people have for her music coupled with this real feeling of protectiveness and want what's best and i think that's never changed through all the things she's gone through. >> thank you, chris. you have got such a deep knowledge of the business. it's great to have your perspective on this stuff. thank you. >> we hope she does okay. wa'el be back with our "play of the day." back with our "play of the day." ones strong? life is full of make or break moments. that's why it's so important

of eggs work for them. >> what about insurance to help you. >> more women are making k. digs of going to friendly companies and talked to a lot of women and 60% would choose a company that was more fertility friendly over one that wasn't. i think first of all understanding what does your company give in terms of fertility coverage, whether it's ivf or egg freezing or even leave. figure out what it is. monster, glassdoor, a lot of fertility sites can tell you which are more friendly than others and honestly sometimes you'll have to be your own advocate. if the company or who you're working for does not give you the fertility or parental leave you want, ask. >> we have more tips on infertile and how to tackle the cost on our website. we'll be right back.
