big game today. >> that's right. i'm so excited. this is going to be appointment television. team usa back in action facing their toughest opponent yet. it happens this afternoon in france. >> everyone will be tuning in but it's not just france they're worried about. also the weather. it's going to be brutally hot. we'll have a lot more on that coming up. hot here in the northeast. it was hot on the debate stage last night. ten debates faced off vying for the chance to take on president trump in osaka, japan where he met with russian president vladimir putin for the first time since the release of the mueller report. that report's top conclusion, the russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion. our chief white house correspondent jon karl traveling with the president. jon, that stark conclusion and the president appeared to be making light of that russian meddling this morning. >> reporter: george, this was a really strange moment. the president sitting right next to vladimir putin did seem to be joking as he told the russian president not to interfere with the presidential election.
7:03 am
the president's first meeting with vladimir putin since the release of the mueller report started with diplomatic pleasantries. the president calling it an honor to meet with the russian president. >> a lot of very positive things going to come out of the relationship. so vladimir, thank you very much. >> reporter: then a question from an american reporter. >> will you tell russia not to meddle in the 2020 election? >> of course, i will. >> reporter: playing to the cameras, he directly addressed putin. >> don't meddle in the election. don't meddle in the election. >> reporter: the president smiled and so did putin. the mueller report documented russia's extensive efforts to interfere with the 2016 election and the president's national security team has warned russia is likely to try it again. >> the russians are focused on sowing divisiveness and discord in this country and pitting us that part i think we see alive and well. >> reporter: after the reporters
7:04 am
left the room the president met privately with putin for about 45 minutes. earlier as he left washington for japan the president made it clear we may never know exactly what they talked about. >> i'll have a very good conversation with him. what i say to him is none of your business. >> reporter: well, the president was all smiles when he addressed vladimir putin. the message from his administration has been differently. just last month secretary of state pompeo issued a stern warning to his counterpart saying that if russia meddled in the 2020 elections, quote, it would put our relationship in a worse place than it has been, george. >> often a gap between the president and his own administration at least on this. jon, thanks very much. amy. more on last night's democrat ten more candidates taking the stage, going head the head on health care, the economy and immigration and targeting front-runner joe biden and abc's mary bruce has the breakout moments from miami. good morning, mary.
7:05 am
>> reporter: good morning, amy. well, there is no question this was a fiery debate as the early front-runner joe biden went into the night with a target on his back. he was forced to defend his record over and over again but it was senator kamala harris who dominated the night and had its most defining moments. in his first words joe biden tried to make it a night about the president. >> donald trump thinks wall street built america. ordinary middle class americans built america. >> reporter: but for biden's democratic rivals, it was a time to take on the early front run per. >> time to pass the torch. >> reporter: the former vp put on the defensive. >> i'm still holding onto that torch. >> reporter: a shouting match erupting on stage. >> a lot of joe's generation -- >> reporter: then senator kamala harris stepped in. >> america does not want to witness a food fight. they want to know how we're going to put food on their table. >> reporter: it was clear the former california attorney general came ready to play. in the most dramatic moment of the night, she called him joe biden out biden's record on race and taking him to test to get
7:06 am
things done, even with segregationist senators. >> i do not believe you are a racist and i agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground. but i also believe -- and it is personal and i was -- it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two united states senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. >> mischaracterization of my position across the board. i did not praise racists. that is not true. >> reporter: piling on, she took on biden's opposition in the '70s to federally ordering bussing, and she made it personal. >> and, you know, there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public school and she was bused to school every day, and that little girl was me. >> reporter: moments later, her campaign tweeting out this photo of a young harris.
7:07 am
biden, forced to clarify. >> vice president biden, do you agree today -- do you agree today that you were wrong to oppose busing in america then? do you agree? >> i did not oppose busing in america. what i opposed is bussing ordered by the department of education. that's what i opposed. your city council made that decision. it was a local decision. >> reporter: rattling off his accomplishments advocating for civil rights before stepping back as the clock ran down. >> i'm the guy that extended the voting rights act for 25 years. we got to the place where we got 98 of the 98 votes of the united states senate doing it. i've also argued very strongly that we in fact deal with the notion of denying people access to the ballot box and agree -- anyway, my time is up. i'm sorry. >> reporter: on the topic of race, south bend mayor pete buttigieg with a blunt admission when pressed about why his hometown police force isn't more diverse.
7:08 am
>> i couldn't get it done. >> reporter: the mayor's campaign sidelined by a deadly officer shooting of a black man in his city. >> he didn't have his body camera on. it's a mess, and we're hurting. >> reporter: but it was this moment from the mayor taking on republicans over the crisis at the border, and invoking religion in the process, that took off online. >> for a party that associates itself with christianity, to say that it is okay to suggest that god would smile on the division of families at the hands of federal agents, that god would condone putting children in cages, has lost all claim to ever use religious language again. >> reporter: on immigration, a united front against the president. >> day one we take out our executive order pen and rescind every damn thing on this issue that trump has done. >> reporter: now, amy, biden took hits last night from every direction facing tough questions not only on his record on race but on immigration and health care, even on reaching across the aisle. at one point, he was blasted by
7:09 am
fellow moderates for working with mitch mcconnell, and joe biden has been arguing that his record is an asset, but last night it was also a liability. >> he certainly had a target on his back. thank you so much. the debate trending big online. let's take a look at the breakout moments and who topped the night. before the night bernie sanders was the most searched candidate, all that blue you're seeing. after the debate harris was number one. you see all that yellow covering 37 states. take a look at this. a huge surge of tweets about busing when harris confronted joe biden about his stance on the use of buses to end school segregation in the 1970s, one of the top three most tweeted about moments. number two when the candidates shared the first thing they would do as president and number three once again belonging to harris when she broke up that shouting match with that line, america does not want to witness a food fight. they want to know how we'll put food on the table. >> that is the debate on social media. one of the things we're going to see is how does it affect the
7:10 am
voters at home watching and i want to get more from mary and jon. clearly kamala harris had a big night, showed command on that stage, that encounter with joe biden the biggest takeaway of the night for most people. how are the campaigns dealing with it behind the scenes? >> reporter: well, george, kamala harris' campaign this morning is certainly riding high. she didn't just have one breakout moment but several. they are now seeing the results of that, and she has had some of the highest fund-raising numbers she's seen so far but this is just one night and 11 more debates coming which is joe biden's campaign is quick to point out. they are doing cleanup this morning. they say they knew these attacks were going to come, and they knew that joe biden would be the center of a lot of the attention last night, and they said it was his strategy to speak directly to the american people, but there is no question the vice president had a rough night, george. >> no question about that. meantime, jon, the president true to form even though he's overseas, tweeting about the debate overnight and republicans really do see an opportunity over the both nights of debates
7:11 am
on health care and last night that moment on immigration where all the democrats said they were for giving health care to undocumented immigrants. >> reporter: all ten on the stage raised their hand for that, george, providing health coverage to undocumented immigrants. that goes further than barack obama. there was no health coverage for undocumented immigrants under obamacare. another one was the idea of eliminating private insurance endorsed by several of the candidates. there are more than well over 100 million americans that have that, and many of whom like that coverage. that would be something that republicans will seek to exploit. >> battle lines are drawn. jon karl, mary bruce, thanks very much. all of you at home, go to our website to learn more about all the candidates and the race for the democratic nomination. janai. from the big moments last night now to the heat wave hitting millions around the country. temperatures topping 90 degrees from the midwest to the northeast, and ginger, we're glad it's summer, but that heat is serious and it can be dangerous.ht this week, janai,

7:14 am

7:15 am
right off the runway onto the grass not slowing down. passengers heard screaming before slamming into a building. the cockpit crushed. two crew members killed. the fire engulfing the an-24. 22 on board were injured. seven of them were taken to the hospital. the cell phone video shows the plane running off the runway, and pilots unable to slow the aircraft. investigators say the plan, a stalwart of the russian commercial fleet suffered an engine problem leading to the landing and leaving the pilots without the ability to control the aircraft. this is the second high-profile crash in russia in the past two months. it was early may that a russian jetliner crashed on a moscow runway killing 41, including an american. now in yesterday's crash, the russian airline says that the co-pilot actually survived and was not injured. he could provide some important clues with what happen happened in that crash. guys, back to you. mh. >>noto the women's world cup.

mother were alone when she was killed in an extremely rare attack. new details in the shark attack in the bahamas that took the life of a college student on vacation with her family. 21-year-old jordan lindsey went snorkeling off rose island with the sandy toes tour company in a reef much like this one seen here when jordan was fatally attacked by three sharks according to police severing her arm, her mother just feet away from her in the father. jordan in the middle taken just before setting out for the snorkeling expedition. her father speaking to abc, telling us that it happened so quickly there was no time for anyone to warn them. jordan's mother had to pull her to shore. we spoke with this andre musgrove, a shark diver who says he ventures into these waters every week. >> there's coral reef around here so just like any other healthy coral reef area there are sharks. you can see this photo 45

minutes before the attack. sharks are protected here in the bahamas. >> correct. shark tourism and the population of sharks is healthy. that's what helps us with the marine ecosystem, the fisheries and tourism, so they're a big asset to the bahamas. >> big business. >> exactly. >> when something like this happens that's your livelihood. what goes through your head? >> it's really unfortunate and my condolences go out to the family. as humans we have to educate ourselves and what we should do and not do. >> reporter: this is actually the snorkeling location for the sandy toes tour company. we reached out to them several times but have not heard back. today was supposed to be the last day of the lindsay family vacation, instead going through the painstaking process of returning her body home to california. >> so tragic indeed. victor oquendo, thanks for being with us. joe yaiullo is here with us. thanks for being with us. i know that there are so many people thinking about vacations
7:34 am
and snorkeling and then you hear about the details of this case. officials there say that there were three sharks involved in this attack. is that common? >> they do hunt in packs at times but usually the incidents are just an individual shark. >> we've been talking about this string of shark attacks but the truth is, shark attacks, the numbers haven't been rising even though it feels like they have when we see these types of report, correct? >> correct. social media, things like that, the news does get out quicker so it does seem like it's more common but statistically it's not. >> we all know the chances of this happening are extremely remote. but other than avoiding the ocean altogether which i think sometimes people end up doing after seeing these attacks, are there things that swimmers and surfers can do to avoid being attacked by a shark. >> you're entering their realm, their world so avoiding swimming
7:35 am
dawn and dusk, wearing shiny jewelry. if there is a feeding frenzy or those areas. >> dawn and dusk are typically the time that sharks feed? >> often a feeding time and lighting is low so their perception of what they might be chasing could be altered. >> if you find yourself in the unusual situation of being attacked by a shark, there are things that you can do to hopefully avoid that becoming a fatal attack. >> you're in a fight for your life at that point and shark, their mouth and snout is very sensitive area. there are a lot of sensory organs so you punch and kick for all you're worth. nobody likes being poked in the eye. they do not want to be in a fight and if they feel like they're in a situation they will retreat. >> that is important advice to think of in those moments. joe, thanks for being with us. >> my pleasure, thanks. >> janai, over to you. the latest on baby india, the infant found alive, abandoned in a plastic bag in georgia. families are now lining up to adopt her and we spoke exclusively with child protective services and paula faris is here with more. this was such a tough story. >> reporter: a tough story but
