sunscreen can go bad if it's not scored correctly. >> throw it in the bag, throw it on your towel, you leave it in the car. and those sunscreen ingredients are baking in that heat. and they're breaking down. >> reporter: another summer sun superstition? >> a major myth is that if you have skin of color, if you have a dark complexion, you don't need to use sunscreen or sun protection. that is just not true. >> reporter: luckily dr. bowe has options for everyone's summer skin. ideas to keep in mind in addition to the typical sunscreen routine. clothing with a upf or ultraviolet protection factor. >> there's fabrics, sun-protective fabrics. look for upf 50-plus. that means that fabric has been tested in the laboratory setting to actually block out 98% of uva and uvv rays. anywhere that your skin is covered by the fabric, you don't have to apply sunscreen. >> reporter: some of that clothing is stylish. who wasn't swap the sunscreen for this chic coverup? next from outerwear to protection from the inside out.

2:45 am
take a wash cloth and just get that nice and covered with milk. you wring it out. and then you drape the milk onto -- it's very cooling. it basically draws out the heat from the burn. it also leaves a little film of healthy fats and proteins that really help to promote and speed the wound-healing process for a sunburn. it's actually very healthy. >> have a great summer! i did all the tricks at the end there. another option to treat sunburn is medical-grade honey. add a thin layer over the burn. it will promote a moisture-balanced environment that helps the burn heal faster. >> whole milk will save your life every time. even though that melanin be popping, put on your sun block. you still need it. >> that was your backyard, that was beautiful. >> that was not my backyard, that was dr. b.'s backyard and i'm very grateful for the invite to that poolal iismmer.

time now for our first summer "insomniac theater." >> this morning we start with another remake.

2:56 am
>> good night, andy. >> oh, my childhood nightmares are coming back fast. "child's play" is scoring 67% on rotten tomatoes but critics pointing out the high-tech twist is no match for the old school chucky. i would agree. one critic writes, the director and writer reduced chucky to a malevolent -- automation, his dialogue limited to parodying back someone else's catch praises. being an a.i. with faulty circuitry, chucky 2.0 doesn't have the soul that made the original chucky such an unnervingly human abomination. >> i get what they're saying. >> this high-tech twist, again we see an example when it just doesn't match with the old school. >> yeah. no, that makes sense. next to a highly anticipated sequel from our parent company, disney.

this morning on "world news now," breaking news. a military strike on iran stopped as it was being carried out. >> president trump had approved attacks on iranian targets, then reversed his decision. new details are just coming in. wicked weather. hail bigger than the size of baseballs are falling from the sky, and more storms are brewing today. we're tracking the severe weather forecast. plus it's summer summer summertime. summer begins in just a few hours. but there are dangers that come with the season. at the beach, at the pool, and even toys this time of the year. how to keep your family safe. and we're getting in summer shape. >> yeah, look at that. >> expert trainers are here in the studio with their best tips, including how to get your pump on. just before you get your suit on. because you gotta look good for the gram. it's friday, june 21st, the

3:02 am
>> sources tell abc news president trump ordered a military strike on iran, then called it off after a plan was already under way. publicly the president warned that the country will not stand for the shoot-down of the drone, but he also downplayed the attack, suggesting it may have been unintentional. iran released this video purportedly showing the moment its missile struck the drone, saying it took place in iranian air space. a claim the u.s. disputes. abc's martha raddatz has the details. >> reporter: iran claims they shot down that drone because it wandered into iranian territorial air space. but the pentagon and the white house have been very clear, they say that is categorically false. that the drone was in international air space when it was shot down. iran showed some pictures they say was their surface-to-air missile hitting that drone. that video has not been verified but it is a huge fireball seen on the screen.
3:03 am
president trump had an early warning for iran saying that they made a very big mistake. then he took a very strange twist saying, i find it hard to believe it was intentional, saying, if you want to know the truth, i think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid that did it, miscalculation has always been a fear during this incredibly tense time with iran. but iranian officials themselves made it very clear this wasn't some rogue iranian officer accidentally firing a missile, iran shot that drone down on purpose. martha raddatz, abc news, washington. >> our thanks to martha right there. she's been all over this and she'll have much more later on on "good morning america." iran claims the drone was shot down after ignoring repeated radio warnings not to enter its air space. >> as the president considers his next move, he huddled at the white house with senior officials and top lawmakers from both parties. some are calling on him to deescalate the situation. others are pushing for a military strike. abc's mary bruce has more.
3:04 am
>> reporter: president trump summoning congressional leaders to the situation room for an emergency briefing on iran. house speaker nancy pe think th wants to go to war. there's no appetite for going to war in our country. >> reporter: many republicans are also urging caution. >> continue doing what we're doing. military restraint. maximum pressure otherwise. >> reporter: but some of trump's top allies are encouraging the president to do more. senator lindsey graham says iran needs to get ready for some, quote, severe pain. >> all i can tell you, if you're not willing to stand up to aggression, you're going to get hurt. here's what i believe about donald trump. he's a dealmaker. he's trying to avoid conflict. but this is truly a defining moment for him. >> reporter: but the president says he's not being pressured into a conflict by his own team. >> are there members of your administration trying to push you into conflict? >> not at all, not at all. in many cases it's the opposite. i said i want to get out of
3:05 am
these endless wars. i campaigned on that. >> reporter: trump also campaigned on ending the iran nuclear deal, which he did last year. speaker pelosi says that's part of the problem. >> when we walked away from that, we lost some credibility with our allies. >> reporter: former vice president joe biden calls trump's iran strategy a self-inflicted disaster. now, coming out of that meeting, republican leader mitch mcconnell told reporters that the white house is engaged in measured responses. while democratic leader chuck schumer says he's worried that the president and his administration may, quote, bumble into a war. mary bruce, abc news, the white house. >> our thanks to mary there at the white house. administration lawyers blocked former white house communications director hope hicks from answering questions more than 150 times as she testified on capitol hill this week. >> that's according to the newly released transcript from the house judiciary committee, which is looking into possible obstruction by president trump. the lawyers claim hicks was immune from discussing her time working at the white house, but hicks told lawmakers she would
3:06 am
not accept dirt on a political opponent from a foreign government, contrary to trump's answer to our own george stephanopoulos. it's the first day of summer but for millions of americans the season kicks off with wind, rain, and hail. the national weather service in little rock offers proof. actual baseball-sized hail hit western arkansas. that ties a record for the largest hail ever there. the radar shows some rain lingering in the northeast, but conditions are expected to clear later today. also later today, severe storms are likely from the dakotas to the ohio valley and into the mississippi valley. some test trouble in a school district about 100 miles from charlotte, north carolina, has education officials apologizing. they say more than 400 high school juniors never got their a.c.t. scores back because their tests were never submitted. human error is being blamed. arrangements are being made for those kids to retake the tests free of charge. now to the nba draft. it seems the whole world, we knew former duke star zion williamson would be the number one pick the second he hit
3:07 am
campus last fall. >> last night it became a reality. the new orleans pelicans took williamson first overall, making the 18-year-old the face of the franchise. at number two former murray state star ja morant won't have to move far. he's now a memphis grizzly. with the number three pick the new york knicks took one of williamson's duke teammates, r.j. barrett. >> so exciting. again, i mean, so i was watching the video. i did not stay up to watch the draft. but seeing when they were talking to zion williamson right after, and he gets so emotional and was just thanking his mom and saying how much she sacrificed for him, it was a really sweet moment. his mom was there saying, we knew this was going to happen, we knew it was coming, but all that anticipation. seeing his hard work pay off. you see right there how excited he was. >> this is the moment so many of those athletes, their families, have been waiting for. and it came true last night for so many of them.
3:08 am
all that hard work, as you mentioned, just really paid off. and mom right there by his side. >> so much excitement ahead of them. for zion williamson, he seems like such a good guy. >> right. >> so we'll be cheering him all the way. >> new orleans, he can get muffuletta in new orleans. then beignets. go to that famous beignet place. cafe du monde. that's a good one. we're going to see zion with all that powder all over his face from the beignets. >> maybe. when in new orleans. brace yourself, barry mitchell. the barry mitchell. he's here for our live summer kickoff. >> polka! first, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. >> talk about a downer. later, if you're not exactly in tip top swimsuit shape, don't worry. we're checking in with a couple of experts who will show us how to get that last-minute burn. of experts who will show us how to get that last-minute burn. experts who will show us how

3:13 am
dangers. in ocean city, maryland in 2015, a bystander captured this terrifying video of wind gusts turning these umbrellas into projectiles. tip from the pros, make sure that beach umbrella is at least 16 inches down in the sand. >> you can either use a shovel to dig the hole deep enough to set the stake and pack it in, or once you drive the stake into the sand, rock it back and forth. that typically gets it deeper into the sand. >> reporter: in the water, know how to survive those dangerous rip currents. the powerful currents which can quickly pull a swimmer out account for more than 80% of rescues by lifeguards. abc's gio benitez with a potential life-saving demonstration >> instead of swimming toward shore, swim diagonally. >> reporter: experts say don't fight, just swim parallel to shore. also remember, beachgoers, you're not alone. >> [ bleep ]!

private browsing when searching flights online. travel sites can track visits and hike fares based on your search. and make sure you search city, not airport. for instance, flying to new york city, you can choose from jfk, laguardia, or newark. >> traveling to a place like new york, boston, san francisco, all have alternative airports. and those can really save you money. >> reporter: and consider nearby cities, like flying into orlando and driving to tampa or vice versa, depending on price. buying a one-way flight from one airline and flying back on another carrier can lower costs. the days you choose to travel can make a big difference in how much you save. >> it's not the day that you actually do the search, it's the day that you travel. it's the tuesday departure and the saturday return. that's what matters. >> reporter: also factor in how much you'll pay to stay. experts suggest booking hotel rooms two to three weeks in advance, but alternatives like airbnb and homeaway can save money. while booking weeks or months
