shoot a pregnant woman with two children in her arms. the alleged crime, their 4-year-old allegedly stealing a doll from a dollar store. appearing on knxv, the police chief saying sorry and that the incident is under investigation. >> i apologize to the family, i apologize to the community. but at the end of the day, there's more to the story. >> reporter: police claim that 24-year-old aiysha harper and her 22-year-old fiance, dravon ames, stole other items, refused police commands, then officers feared they were armed. >> when i tell you to do something, [ bleep ] do it! >> reporter: at one point an officer is filmed kicking ames. harper accuses police of trying to grab her child claiming the toddler's arm was injured before she briefly was forced to give her baby to a total stranger. the videos captured by witnesses who don't want to be identified. >> it was just a very scary situation i never thought i'd be in, traumatizing for me and my daughter. >> reporter: the couple was not charged with any crime.

the phoenix mayor slamming police saying, there is no situation in which this is ever close to acceptable. as a mother myself, seeing these children put in such a terrifying position is beyond upsetting. the couple has filed a notice of intent to sue the city of phoenix for $10 million. the officers involved have been assigned desk duty pending the full investigation. zachary kiesch, abc news, new york. >> our thanks to zachary there. coming up, the history that played out on millions of american television screens exactly 25 years ago today. do you remember where you were or what you were doing when o.j. simpson led police on a chase? we're opening up the "abc vault" next. we're opening up the "abc news vault" next on "world news now." it traps and removes the waste that weighs me down, so i feel lighter. try metamucil, and begin to feel what lighter feels like.

few events in history leave such an indelible impression on the collective memory of a nation. >> 25 years ago today, 95 million americans dropped what they were doing to watch one such event play out on live television. we're opening up the "abc news vault" to june 17th, 1994. >> we now go to a special report

from abc news. >> this is a special report from abc news. >> i'm peter jennings at abc news headquarters. cturinos angeles. go to a we're interrupting "20/20" so that the rest of you around the country can see this quite extraordinary scene unfold on one of the freeways in the los angeles area. we believe at the moment it is 91 west headed towards cerritos. down there on the ground is a white ford bronco. it's just in the left of your picture in the center going from right to left. and it is not being chased but it is being accompanied by a real phalanx of police cars on the ground, police helicopters in the air, and obviously the abc news helicopter in the air as well. the voice you hear in the background i believe is that of the kabc reporter in the helicopter.

but this has been going on for some time now. police believe they have located o.j. simpson, wanted on two counts of murder, in this white bronco going somewhere. now as has been the case all week there have been a variety of reports as to what has transpired in the vehicle as to how they find him. one report says they tracked him through cellular telephone calls made from the vehicle. one other report has it that he is in the back seat holding a gun to his head and has been demanding, according to some police forces, to be taken to his mother. at one point he was headed in the direction of where his mother lives. but that may no longer be the case. only those of you who know the particular freeway topography of los angeles will be able to recognize this scene precisely. but this is not a chase, this is basically an accompaniment as people are pulled over to the

side of the road in various places. you can see what will happen at this one particular location. all other traffic will be pulled over, waved over to the side of the road. the exits onto the freeway have been blocked by police and at every stage along the way you can see traffic going in t other direction, slowing down, clearly understanding that something is happening. and probably given all of the news coverage in los angeles today understanding what is happening. earlier today, just in case you have been completely out of touch, o.j. simpson was charged officially on two counts of murder, the murder of his former wife and her male friend. the police had gone to a residence where he had been in seclusion to arrest him because he and his lawyer had not honored an agreement with the los angeles police department that he surrender. now the helicopter moves to the other side of the road, so you get a better shot of it. closer, though difficult to see inside.lusiancaand a

very fle etional state. and in what his lawyer described was about a 15-minute window, he and one of his oldest, closest friends managed to disappear. a.c. cowlings, al cowlings, who had been playing football with him at usc and the buffalo bills, they disappeared. there were three letters left by o.j. simpson, one to his children, one to his mother, and one that was read to the public in which he basically said he couldn't take it anymore, and the doctors had been attending him had very much interpreted it as a suicide note. abc's judy mueller is with us in los angeles. judy, can you tell where they're going? >> i can't tell where they're going except they're heading west. they left the cerritos area and are heading into bellflower, possibly toward the compton area. the way the freeway goes, it's heading toward the beach. and we really don't know where

he's going. he may just be driving endlessly if he is threatening to kill himself in the back seat, of course, the police cars are keeping their distance for that reason. i think they don't want to spook him. >> re-emphasize to people at home who may just have joined "20/20," which is of course devoted to this, not very often you describe an incident "bizarre" repeatedly, but it has been that. >> this case is one everyone remembers where they were when it happened. we were in school. we're not going to say preschool or high school or what. but i will say that i was in school and all the tvs were on. i don't think that would be the case now. the simpson verdict was the third most universal impactful televised moment of the last 50 years, behind 9/11. >> behind 9/11 and hurricane katrina in 2005. i was not in school so i do not remember this from then. but absolutely bizarre to see it at that time and now to see that coverage 25 years later.

test test

so you're cruising around l.a. or you're getting into your car to cruise around l.a., and then this happens. a hawk. a legit hawk, likely a red tailed hawk that's common to the city, landed this car and wasn't going anywhere. he said, i've got a right to be here, i'm going to stick out my wings and i'm going to ride til. ride or die hawk right there. >> rolling down the street. >> uh-huh. sipping on gin and juice. >> laid back with my wing span wide and my beak -- >> sitting high, yep.

to a cricket match. >> yeah. >> and then this happens. somebody shows up in style. this is at a world cup match between india and pakistan played yesterday in manchester. one pakistan fan right there arrived fully decked out in pakistani garb with a country flag in hand riding a white horse. >> coming in on his white horse. did they win? >> do it big. >> we hope so. >> i think this guy won. that's all that matters. he won for the day. >> that's very true. you know who also won? the people who spotted this beautiful image off the coast of australia. >> whoa. >> sydney there. whale watching. when they saw that big old fin. >> that big old fin. >> yeah, that happened. >> that big old fin. >> so these passengers, they were on a cruise, they were treated to that. >> and this happened. >> they were able to take some pictures for the gram. >> what is he doing, though? >> giving those people a show. >> it's like literally waving. >> it's saying, hey. >> hey. >> get out of here, you're in my space. >> you see this big old fin?

this morning on "world new this morning on "world news now," the president's polling problem. >> his campaign is cutting ties with some of its pollsters due to a leak of data. it's a major development after that abc news exclusive interview with trump. now there's another poll revealing trump is being edged out by democratic candidates. marching in masses. hundreds of thousands of people are taking over hong kong streets to send a message to china. what they're demanding. tornado touchdown. a severe weather outbreak has spawned tornados leaving a trail of destruction behind. where that wicked weather is headed now. plus today marks 25 years since one of america's most famous police chases. o.j. simpson on the run in that white bronco. it's monday, june 17th.

>> absolutely. talking about it in reference to themselves, their kids, everything. so yeah, excited to talk about that. we do begin this morning with problems with the president's re-election campaign even before it officially begins. >> days before president trump is set to announce he is seeking re-election, his campaign is parting ways with pollsters after disappointing results were leaked. >> one of their polls shows president trump trailing joe biden by double digits in four key states. but the president tells abc's george stephanopoulos the truth is just the opposite. abc's rachel scott reports. >> reporter: the president insists polls that show him behind the democrats are phony and fake. >> why does it bother you so much? >> because it's untrue. i like the truth. you know? i'm actually a very honest guy. if i thought they were correct, i wouldn't be complaining at all. >> reporter: but a leaked internal poll meant for trump campaign eyes only painted a grim picture of a potential 2020 matchup between president trump

and joe biden. and now the campaign is cutting ties with some of its pollsters. the march data first obtained by abc news showed the president trailing by wide margins in three key battleground states. biden held a double-digit lead in pennsylvania and wisconsin. and in florida where the president is scheduled to officially launch his re-election campaign, he was behind 7 points. campaign manager brad parscale dismissing those numbers as ancient saying, quote, since then we have seen huge swings in the president's favor. the president telling george in his exclusive interview the polls he's seen are good. >> even your own polls show you're behind right now, don't they? >> no, my polls show that i'm winning everywhere. nobody showed you those polls because those polls don't exist, george. those polls don't exist. >> reporter: as a presidential candidate trump was known to tout favorable polling numbers. >> we're doing well in the polls, that's important, okay? i'm winning all these polls. my poll numbers are going through the roof. >> reporter: now saying he doesn't even believe in pollsters.

>> i just was given a meeting with my pollster who i frankly don't even believe in pollsters if you want to know the truth. you just run a campaign and whatever it is, it is. i just had a meeting with somebody that's a pollster and i'm winning everywhere. >> reporter: president trump likely won't be happy about this latest fox news poll. it shows joe biden with a significant edge on the president. and he's not the only one. senator bernie sanders also ahead. rachel scott, abc news, the white house. >> a big thanks to rachel. that was her first time reporting from the white house for "good morning america" and "world news tonight." >> a big, big weekend for rachel who's a friend of our show. she was getting started out. >> she's on fire. >> on camera here at abc. we are so proud of her. she had a big debut weekend for gma and world news, she was stellar in that interview with george. >> president trump again states special counsel robert mueller cleared him of collusion and obstruction.

>> but he again called the russia probe a witch hunt and said mueller was biased against him. >> i would constantly tell anybody that would listen, including you, including the media, that robert mueller was conflicted. robert mueller had a total conflict of interest -- >> and has to go? >> i never -- i didn't say that. look, article 2, i would be allowed to fire robert mueller. there was not -- assuming, assuming i did all of the things, i said i want to fire him, number one, i didn't. he wasn't fired. okay? number one, very importantly. but more importantly, article 2 allows me to do whatever i want. article 2 would have allowed me to fire him. >> so it sounds like -- >> i wasn't going to fire. you know why? i watched richard nixon go around firing everybody and that didn't work out too well. so very simply, article 2 would allow me to do it. >> president trump apparently referring to the so-called saturday night massacre in 1973 when nixon ordered the watergate special prosecutor to be fired. that set off a chain reaction, ultimately hastening the calls for nixon's impeachment.

o.j. simpson, one of the best-known, most-gifted, and beloved athletes of our time, was charged earlier today with killing two people, his estranged wife and a young man who was at her condominium. simpson did not surrender to police as had been arranged by his attorney. he took off. what happened between that moment and his ultimate surrender to los angeles police late this evening will be the main focus of this program tonight. in a little less than 20 minutes, we'll be going live to los angeles police headquarters where there will be a news conference about the events of this extraordinary day. many of the questions will undoubtedly focus on how and why o.j. simpson and his close friend al cowlings were able to elude police for much of the day. earlier this evening millions of people started watching as live television cameras aboard news helicopters broadcast pictures of a curious-looking procession,

a white ford bronco, there you see it, with a couple of police cars up ahead clearing the way. and about a dozen police cars driving in formation a discreet distance behind. my colleague judy muller has been covering these events all day. judy, as these pictures go by, and i hope we can get them back up again, tell us what was going on there. who was driving? where was o.j. simpson and how long did all of this take? >> ted, the person who was driving was al cowlings, o.j.'s long-time, in fact, life-long friend who played college football with him then pro football. and he disappeared with o.j. earlier today, just about the time that o.j. was supposed to surrender. police caught up with him about 6:30 pacific time on a freeway in orange county. and apparently traced them through cellular phone calls the two had made. o.j. simpson reportedly was sitting in the back seat, and we have reports that he had a gun held to his own head.

so while al was driving in the front, o.j. was in the back apparently in a life-threatening situation, a suicidal situation, we've heard all sorts of reports. one can speculate but we don't know for sure yet. at any rate this chase -- it wasn't really a chase because once police caught them, it was really more of an escort. with this life-threatening situation, police didn't want to push him into doing something rash. so they stayed a certain distance behind, maintained the pace. but they blocked off all access to the freeway. >> joining us now from our los angeles bureau, gill garcetti, district attorney for los angeles. it is his office which will prosecute mr. simpson. let me begin with what may seem like kind of a strange question. what has changed in the past 10 or 12 hours? in other words, how different are things now than they would have been if o.j. simpson had simply given himself up this morning as he was scheduled to do? >> well, for one, obviously we have a situation now where we have a man who is fleeing.

and that fact alone, in our mind, establishes a consciousness of guilt. that issue can now be brought to the trier of fact, in this case a jury, most likely. >> a last glimpse of o.j. simpson tonight before we bid you good night. these pictures were taken at parker center approximately a half an hour ago. if you look in the back seat of the car you will see o.j. simpson seated between two police officers being transferred from one facility to another. this was a day when many people feared that o.j. simpson had suicidal intentions. tonight he is alive but not well, charged with two counts of murder. and that's our report for tonight. i'm ted koppel in washington. for all of us here at abc news, good night. >> our thanks to ted koppel there. >> yeah. fascinating to see that, 25 years later. and the bronco. they're coming back with the bronco next year.

stay with us, more news is next.

they're donating it to st. louis not for eating. >> no. >> to the aquarium there. >> no, to give the color red the blues. >> right. apparently this lobster, it's a 1 in 2 million crustacean, very rare. >> wow, they should probably play the lottery. >> or maybe it's because of all the pollution, it's blue now. >> our hearts go out to that lobster and we hope st. louis welcomes him with open arms. now to another animal, a gorilla at a zoo in texas. how cute. a photographer caught this very precious moment when gorilla martha is cradling her baby, who was born just over a week ago. oh, look. she gives the baby a little kiss on the head. then what's she drinking or eating there? oh. >> what's going on there? >> okay. but it's so cute. >> they're just like us. so cute there. that's the news for this half hour.

other signs? blurriness in and around the face, but nowhere else in the video. double chins or eyebrows. something in front of the face, a hand or food or drink, causing the video to blur. but in this case an apologetic jon snow may actually help some white walker level angry "g.o.t." fans get over their season 8 hangups. facebook released a statement about "deepfakes" saying, we continue to look at how we can improve our approach and the systems we built, part of that includes getting outside feedback from academics, experts, and policymakers. >> i mean, crazy. >> insane and will, thank you for that. we're having some fun with it but also so serious. people can really take these things serious. >> right. the "game of thrones" one is silly but there are some serious cases out there. >> thanks, will, we appreciate it. when we come back, james bond is back or at least hitting the gym. and the countdown to the big reveal from taylor swift.
