heat wave alert. the first of the season sending temperatures soaring across chicago and up and down the east coast this morning. deadly shark attack. the 21-year-old american college student killed by sharks while snorkeling in the bahamas with her family. new developments in that mysterious disappearance of a young woman in utah. missing after taking a ride share. now police descending on this house. and world cup clash. why a war of words is erupting between president trump and team usa's co-captain megan rapinoe before one of the biggest games of her career. good morning, america. it's a very busy thursday morning as we come on the air. >> a lot is going on. first round of democratic candidates faced off in their first debate. we'll have more on that in a moment. we want to get right to breaking news. a terror attack in africa. >> that's right. a suicide bomber setting off explosives in tunisia, injuring

at least two officers. abc's ian pannell starts us off with the very latest. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, amy. breaking news from the tunisian capital. two suicide attacks have taken place this morning, the first near the france embassy and the second not too car counterterrorism agents are on the scene. a reminder that this is a country with a long history of terrorist-related violence. tunisia among the top recruiting grounds for isis fighters. in 2015, the national museum was overrun by isis fighters. 22 people were killed. also in the same year 38 mostly british tourists were murdered by a terrorist gunman on the beach. the u.s. government is

monitoring situation and urging people sy indoors. george? >> i know you'll stay on it. thank you, ian. the race for the white house and the first debate for the democrats looking to take an president trump. ten took the stage in miami last night. ten more tonight. the economy, immigration and health care at the top of their agenda. abc's mary bruce with all the highlights. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. last night's showdown was a chance to talk on the national stage. they outlined their visions for what america is and should be and exposed deep divides on immigration and health care but the candidates rarely seemed to take on each other but focused on the one thing they agree on getting a democrat back in the white house. ten candidates, two hours of debate, one big au they started in agreement. the candidates going after trump's economy. senator elizabeth warren who's been rising in the polls pushed for what she called a structural change in government. >> reporter: new jersey senator

cory booker said the economy is failing average americans. >> it's about time we have an economy that works for everybody. >> reporter: but it didn't take long to see clear contrasts. >> who here would abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan? just a show of hands to start out with. [ applause ] >> all right. >> there are a lot of politicians who say, oh, it's just not possible. we just can't do it. have a lot of political reasons for this. what they're really telling you, they just won't fight for it. >> reporter: the debate over immigration leading to some breakout moments for candidates who have been flying under the radar like new york city mayor bill de blasio. >> for all the american citizens out there who feel you're falling behind and feel the american dream is not working for you, the immigrants didn't do that to you. the big corporations did that to you. >> reporter: former san antonio mayor julian castro gave a passionate response to that gut-wrenching photo from the border, a warn a father and his young daughter drowned at the border in search of a better life. >> watching that image of oscar and his daughter, valeria, is

heartbreaking. it should also piss us off and i would sign an executive order that would get rid of trump's zero tolerance policy, the remain in mexico policy and the metering policy. >> reporter: castro came ready for a border battle with beto o'rourke. >> you're looking at just one small part. i'm talking about a comprehensive rewrite of our immigration laws. >> that's not true. that's actually not true. >> reporter: he was the first of the night to speak in spanish. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> reporter: but others followed suit. [ speaking a foreign language ] on january 20, 2021 we'll say adios to donald trump. >> reporter: the record number of women running in the spotlight. in this moment between washington governor jay inslee and minnesota senator amy klobuchar. >> i'm the only candidate here who has passed a law protecting a woman's right at reproductive health insurance. >> i just want to say there's

three women up here whorigh cho. >> reporter: ending where it began going after trump. >> the biggest threat to the security of the united states is donald trump. [ applause ] >> reporter: now the one name that surprisingly did not come up at all last night the early front-runner, joe biden. not a single mention by name but that will all change tonight when joe biden takes center stage along with bernie sanders and pete buttigieg. >> no question about that. that line from jay inslee about president trump being a national security threat, surprisingly not that much focus on the president directly last night. >> reporter: yeah, george, in many ways it was surprising that this debate wasn't really about donald trump. this was much more about the candidates themselves and their visions for the future of the democratic party. they spent much more time discussing policy differences than impeachment. for lesser known candidates it was also simply an introduction, a chance to tell voters where they stand, george. >> mary bruce, i know you'll be there again tonight. let's bring in our chief white house correspondent, jon karl,

in japan with the president, and jon, the president may not have been the focus last night. he was traveling but he was watching. >> it appears that the president's television aboard air force one was tuned in to the debate, george. about 35 minutes in, he tweeted a one-word take calling it boring. but, george, apparently he was still watching that boring debate a half an hour after that because he also tweeted an attack on the technical glitch the debate had affecting the audio for a short time. so, yes, he was watching. >> the president and republicans hoping to make a target of the democrats' plans, particularly on the economy and health care. >> absolutely. particularly on the fact that virtually every democrat on that stage took positions to the left of barack obama, playing right into at least from the campaign's view their plan to portray the democrats as simply too far to the left effectively a socialist party now. >> big weekend ahead for the president there in japan. meetings with president xi of china and president putin of russia. >> yes.

he's going to be meeting with putin tomorrow, george. this will be the first meeting between the president and putin since the release of the mueller report but perhaps the most consequential meeting this weekend will be with president xi of china, something the markets will be watching very carefully. world markets, whether or not they can come to some kind of agreement to avert or end what looks like an all-out trade war. >> jon karl with the president. thanks very much, jon. michael? as we saw the crisis at the border took center stage at last night's debate, our chief national correspondent matt gutman gained access to one of the facilities in the middle of the firestorm and he joins us now from clint, texas. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. this facility is a hub for uncompanied migrant children. it's now the target of a restraining order filed just overnight alleging that conditions inside are unsafe and unsanitary. now, when we saw it there was soap, there were tooth brushes, but it's basically like a jail

situation. it's jarring to see toddlers walking inside cells, kids the same age as the little girl in that picture. this morning we learned another family, a woman, a toddler and two infants were found dead on the u.s. side of the border just off the rio grande. migrants have long hoped the rio grande would carry them into the u.s., but this mexican psa released tuesday warning the river's currents could also kill them. [ speaking a foreign language ] the warnings follow this haunting image, oscar ramirez and his daughter valeria tucked into his shirt. her arm draped over his neck, drowned on the banks of the rio gran grande. valeria was just shy of her second birthday and her grandmother clinging to the toddler's stuffed animal. this is her favorite doll, she says. the image graphically capturing the desperation of migrants who risk everything to cross into the u.s. and used as a political bludgeon on capitol hill. >> the president's actions at the border are a whirlwind of incompetence leading to pictures like this. >> reporter: president trump blaming the tragedy on democrats

and what he called open borders. >> open borders mean crime and open borders mean people drowning in the rivers. >> reporter: but scrutiny is also mounting on the government's handling of children's detention centers. overnight, a restraining order filed against two texas facilities demanding immediate remedy for the public health emergency at the facilities. abc news got a chance to see one of the two facilities in the restraining order. but no cameras allowed. >> any chance to take the cameras inside to show people what's going on? >> no, it's a pen and pad tour. >> we were also forbidden from speaking to any of those children. this facility was designed to accommodate about 100 people for 8 to 12 hours, but it has had up to 700 children inside, and their average stay right now is six to ten days. a situation that even the border patrol admits it just can't cope with. amy? >> matt gutman at the border for us, thank you. new trouble for boeing. another potential problem discovered on its 737 max jet,

the passenger plane already grounded following those two deadly crashes. senior transportation correspondent david kerley is at reagan national airport with the latest on this one. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, amy. this is a new, separate problem which could keep the max on the ground even longer. during a test flight on friday an faa pilot found some of the controls, a button on the control, it took longer to nose up the plane and bring it to level than he expected. now, this is not related to the so-called mcas system which we saw related to those two deadly crashes. this is a separate part of the problem. boeing believes they can fix wit a software fix. the faa is wondering whether the computer chip in all those maxes would have to be replaced and that could take a whole lot longer. the airlines pushing out their cancellations, now until labor day, through august, all the way to labor day. so the max not expected to fly for those three airlines during the very busy summer travel

season. george? >> complicates the summer. okay, david, thanks very much. new developments involving that missing utah student who disappeared after leaving the airport in a lyft, was dropped off at a park. this morning authorities have zeroed in on a home, and abc's gio benitez has the latest. >> reporter: this morning, new developments in the search for missing university of utah student mackenzie lueck. police descending on this salt lake city house early in the afternoon with a search warrant. neighbors saying the police had been there for much of the day. >> the leads developed -- that we developed led us here. then we served the search warrant. >> reporter: this comes as the search for lueck enters its tenth agonizing day. police say lueck was last seen in these newly released images. the 23-year-old then texted her mother before ordering a ride share to this north salt lake city park where police say she met someone at 3:00 a.m. that ride share driver has been cleared as a suspect. police are now looking at lueck's digital footprint for clues. >> does mackenzie have an

alternate phone she has used in the past or is using? does she have social media accounts we don't know about? >> reporter: investigators say there is no evidence of foul play, but with few leads and no contact, they are leaving no stone unturned. >> we are treating this with a high degree of care and caution. >> reporter: and police still haven't said if they know anything about who lueck met at that park. that's the mystery right now and to make matters even worse they found that the surveillance cameras at that park were what they call dummy cameras. so they don't actually work so they're really relying on witnesses to come forward. >> wow, all right. thank you so much, gio. and now to the latest on that 2-year-old who was hit in >>hat one wentizing ofned ne u g medical condition of that 2-year-old girl struck in the head by a foul ball a month ago at houston's minute maid park.m lawyer and saying the young girl

was hospitalized for several days with a skull fracture and associated subdural bleeding, brain contusions, even suffering a seizure at the hospital and the family's attorney says -- >> she will be reassessed again in a few weeks and they will know more, but particularly with a young child it will take sometime to know just what the future holds. >> reporter: that foul ball coming off the bat of albert almora jr. of the chicago cubs. >> yeah, i'm speechless. i'm in -- i'm at a loss of words. >> reporter: according to the family lawyer, the little girl and her family were sitting just ten feet outside of that protective netting which is meant to stop foul balls from injuring fans. >> the one-two comes home and bellinger rifles it foul. >> reporter: days ago another fan was struck by a foul ball in los angeles. that fan was treated for her injuries at the hospital and has recovered. last year major league baseball introduced a mandatory policy for teams to have netting that reaches to the end of both

dugouts to protect fans. but these incidents have some asking if the netting reaches far enough. the attorney of this little girl tells us the family wants that netting extended as far as the foul poles in the outfield and it is up to each stadium and team to determine the netting to be on that dugout. three of the 30, the white sox, nationals and dodgers, are extending it. this puts a lot of pressure on the astros to do the same. we are pulling for this girl who remains on medication. >> thank you so much. we absolutely are. as the u.s. women's soccer team prepares to face off against france tomorrow they are also facing a war of words between their co-captain and the president of the united states. abc's will reeve is here with more. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, amy. this morning as team usa gets ready for its biggest match of this world cup, one of the team's captains taking on an even bigger opponent, the president. >> rapinoe, shot, goal. u.s. wins. >> reporter: soccer superstar megan rapinoe has been

steamrolling opponents during the world cup, but should the u.s. women win it all like they did four years ago team captain rapinoe says she won't return to the white house for any ceremony. >> are you excited about going to the white house? >> i'm not going to the [muted] white house. no. i'm not going to the white house. we're not going to be invited. >> reporter: rapinoe who is openly gay described herself as a walking protest when it comes to the trump administration. but her latest comment quickly got the president's attention. i am a big fan of the american team and women's soccer but megan should win first before she talks. finish the job. we haven't yet invited megan or the team but i am now inviting the team win or lose. >> rapinoe scores. >> reporter: rapinoe has long been an outspoken against ineqlitynd pr others neiling the kneeling

during the national anthem in the past. when the rules were rewritten rapinoe respected the rule opting not to sing it with her hands behind the back at this world cup. president trump also taking aim at the 33-year-old's anthem protest, megan should never disrespect our country, the white house or our flag, especially since so much has been done for her and the team. rapinoe's teammates coming to their co-captain's defense. defender ali krieger tweeting in regards to the president's tweet today, i know women who you cannot control or grope anger you, but i stand by @mpinoe and will sit this one out as well. u.s. soccer is not commenting on the matter but social media is buzzing with people taking some supporting rapinoe and her teammates. others saying her comments have made them decide to root for france. >> wow. >> yeah. that match is tomorrow and it's the biggest one in the world. >> big opponents and also the heat wave happening in paris. >> match at 9:00 p.m. local time. a balmy 83 as opposed to 90s or

it was all caught by the watchful eyes of the atlanta airport security cameras. on saturday the christmas family from suburban atlanta were headed out of town on a disney vacation when they say all of a sudden, a woman in the striped sweater starts staring at their newborn baby in the stroller. police say the woman who attacked them is 26-year-old esther daniels. tree tries to grab the baby in the stroller then goes after their oldest son who is about 6 years old. the whole family is fighting with her holding onto the child and here comes an atlanta police officer racing over to help. >> the traffic control inspector was able to respond quickly and officers were in the area and able to go ahead and, you know, reconcile this situation. >> reporter: within seconds more atlanta police arrive and confront the would-be kidnapper. police say they couldn't understand her, that she continued to blurt out things that made them believe she was in some type of mental distress. police say she was talking into her cell phone. when they tried to take it from her, she went after the kids again. that's when they made the arrest. >> we can't really speak on what her mental state was, but we can agree what she did was very

jennifer staged her own disappearance, that "gone girl" theory and now claiming revenge suicide. what's the strategy he's employing here? >> i think the strategy here is trying to poison the jury pool, right? you're trying to put your theories out there so that everyone that's watching "good morning america," everyone that's following -- this is a case of national interest. they're now trying to piece together what happened. so i think that's what they're trying to do. >> other than murder? >> other than murder. they're trying to throw everything at the wall and figure out what sticks. >> this is all connected to -- the hearing is connected to divorce proceedings that were under way with his missing wife and the custody of the five kids is at play. is there actually a chance here the father could get custody? >> there is a chance and that's the scary thing, i think, for a lot of people. the question before that court is what is in the best interests of the children? they don't have their mother now. generally the next person that they would go to is their father. >> right now they're with their grandmother. >> they're with their grandmother. we know he is at least the person of interest in her disappearance and probable

murder and so a judge is going to weigh very carefully whether or not they should go back to him. but if her body is never found, if he is never charged with that murder then who do they go to? generally they would go to him. >> dulos' attorney filed a motion to allow dulos to talk to his girlfriend. what does that tell you? >> it tells me he wants to speak to her because the best evidence is her body, is his wife's body, but the next best evidence would be some sort of confession. who was with him at the time? i think authorities think it was his girlfriend. he wants to speak to her. her attorney, though, now has filed a motion prohibiting him from speaking to her. >> would that conversation be monitored? a third possibility he wants to talk to her to get their stories straight. >> absolutely. that's why he wants to speak with her. but the conversation, they have these gps trackers, so a smart agent, a smart investigator is going to try to monitor that conversation to see if there's anything there. but i think a smart lawyer, her

lawyer is saying, i don't want him contacting my client at all, at all because she has a lot to lose here especially if she's an accessory to murder. >> all right, thank you, sunny. see you later on "the view." >> e yes, 11:00. 11:00. >> get it out there. coming up, everybody, you ♪ vogue hear that song. go ahead, amy. strike a pose. that's right. >> doing the macarena. >> it's "play of the day." we'll be right back. right back. with moderate to severe crohn's disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. is she alright? i hope so. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,

others injured. at least five others also wounded in those two attacks. counterterrorism police, of course, on the scene and they're reminded this is a country with a long history of terrorist-related violence. tunisia among the top recruiting grounds for isis. in 2015 the national museum was overrun by isis militants, leavingly european tourists dead. also in the same year, 38 mostly british tourists were murdered by a terrorist gunman on the beach at their seaside hotel. the u.s. embassy says they're monitoring the situation and advising american citizens to stay indoors for now. we'll update you as this develops. amy? >> you'll keep us updated, ian. thanks so much. george? the race for the white house now and that first debate for democrats looking to take on president ten candidates took the stage in miami last night. the economy, immigration, health care at the top of their agenda. ten more take the stage tonight and abc's mary bruce is on the scene in miami with the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, this first showdown overnight was a chance for the candidates to make their mark on the national stage, and it was a crowded stage.

ten candidates debating over two hours, one big audition for who can best take on trump. they started in agreement, the candidates going after trump's economy. senator elizabeth warren who has been rising in the polls pushed for what she called a structural change in government. >> who is this economy really working for? >> reporter: new jersey senator cory booker said the economy is failing average americans. >> it is about time we have an economy that works for everybody. >> reporter: but it didn't take long to see clear contrasts. >> who here would abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan? just a show of hands to start out with.

>> the biggest threat to the security of the united states is donald trump. and there's no question about that. [ applause ] >> mary, that line from jay inslee, a rare direct shot at the president. >> reporter: yeah, george, in many ways it was surprising this debate wasn't really about donald trump himself. this was much more about the candidates and their vision for the future of the democratic party. they spent a lot more time talking about their policy differences than impeachment and for so many lesser known candidates it was simply a chance for them to introduce themselves to the american people. >> we'll see if that changes tonight when joe biden is on the stage. mary bruce, thanks very much. breaking news from the supreme court. let's go to terry moran. >> reporter: george this is a major 2020 census cannot go forward at this time. the trump administration wanted to ask every person are you a citizen. the trump administration claimed they had to do that for the

voting rights act. john roberts aligned with the liberals said the administration was contrived and that judicial review requires an explanation for government action and what the trump administration offered wasn't an explanation, but quote a distraction. this goes back down to the lower courts to see what's really behind the trump administration's decision to ask that citizenship question. they're up against it. they say they must get these forms printed next week. doesn't look like that's going to happen. a major victory for those opposing the trump administration's question on the census. george? >> coming up harry and meghan's trip to africa. and that bride with 34 brides maids.

wake up could possibly affect your risk. dr. jennifer ashton is here with us. and i'll start with a question, dr. jen, for the audience, how many people here would consider themselves morning people? okay. [ applause ] you're here at "gma." >> finally good news for the people who work on this show. >> exactly. >> thankfully we have you here with us. i've become a morning person out of necessity given my job but tell us a little about what this breast cancer and sleep study means for morning people and those who aren't. >> well, this was an incredibly interesting study, amy, because first of all you hear us say we have to be careful when we hear data or new headlines based on association. this study actually looked for and then tried to prove causality, cause and effect. i'll tell you what they did. they looked at people's -- they call it a cronotype. i had never heard that before. whether you describe yourself as a morning person or evening person. it didn't cite hours with that. then it identified how many went on to develop breast cancer and then it did genetic analysis on

those people. that's where they tried to prove cause and effect and what they showed was a protective effect amongst people who describe themselves as morning people. they had a lower risk of going on to develop breast cancer. now here are my caveats with this. when we hear a study like this or a headline, we only hear one outcome. as a doctor, as a person, we have to think holistically, not just by body part. so while it might be protective against breast cancer to be a morning person maybe we'll find it's bad against another outcome. take it with a little grain of salt. >> and i'm confused. given left to my own devices, i would be a night person for sure. >> i have heard that about you. [ laughter ] >> this job just makes me keep waking up early. [ laughter ] it might be good for me, jen. [ applause ] researchers also found -- interesting, this isn't

necessarily new sleeping more than eight hours actually isn't good for you as well. >> that's right. >> leads to a higher risk of breast cancer. >> that was another finding. if you slept more than seven or eight hours an average on night, those people had an associated increase risk of developing breast cancer so when i say it's not new, it's because we have known for awhile especially in the world of sleep medicine that too much is not good. more is not better when it comes to sleep. so that sweet spot is really about seven to nine hours a night for most people. for most health outcomes. if you are saying, oh, i get 11 hours a night, that's not great because we have to remember what happens when we sleep. circadian rhythms get involved, metabolism, hormones, inflammation. they're all kind of delicately balanced. >> you say seven to nine hours is optimal. >> for health. >> what other sleep habits should we look at to decrease our risks? >> you've heard me say it before. sleep has a massive pr problem in this country. we look at it as a luxury.

it's a medical necessity. we need to prioritize it, and in order to do that, you have to have a consistent bedtime and wakeup time. you can't just do one thing during the week and another thing on the weekends. >> ruh-roh. >> exactly. that environment -- i cannot overstate this. it should be cold, dark and quiet. and if you do those things i promise you you will feel better after a certain amount of time. this is really the mainstay of our health foundation along with nutrition and fitness. >> we got -- >> let's go right back to bed. >> all right. i like that.
