>> we know you're on top of it, rob. thanks. we go to the fallout, new fallout from jeffrey epstein's arrest for sex trafficking underage girls. this morning the calls are growing from democrats and 2020 candidates for labor secretary alexander acosta to step down over his role in brokering that controversial plea deal with epstein more than a decade ago. chief national affairs correspondent tom llamas is here with all the latest. good morning, tom. >> reporter: amy, good morning to you. the jeffrey epstein scandal has rocked palm beach, manhattan and now, the white house dealing with the epstein matter on two fronts as we are hearing from someone who spent time at his new york mansion at the center of the investigation. this morning, president trump standing by his labor secretary alexander acosta, at least for now. >> i feel very badly actually for secretary acosta because i've known him as being somebody that works so hard and has done such a good job but we'll be looking at that and looking at it very closely. >> reporter: calls growing for acosta to resign in the wake of the jeffrey epstein indictment.

the disgraced financier charged with sex trafficking underage girls allegedly assaulting them in massage rooms inside of his $77 million manhattan mansion and $12 million home in palm beach, florida, as seen in this police video. some of the allegations in the new case also part of the investigation more than a decade ago. >> i pled guilty to solicitation of prostitution. >> reporter: but the wealthy money manager struck a deal with acosta who was the u.s. attorney overseeing the case at the time. epstein served just 13 months in county jail, allowed to work out of his office six days a week registering as a sex offender. critics say acosta chose not to indict in spite of evidence gathered by investigators. >> he beat it once with the extraordinary help of the government, and doing the entire thing in secrecy and under the cloak of darkness, which clearly we don't have this time. >> reporter: the labor secretary

responding to critics tweeting the crimes committed by epstein are horrific and i am pleased that new york prosecutors are proving forward with a case based on new evidence. prosecutors say they do have new evidence this time around including nude photos seized in epstein's home, some appear to be of underage girls. vicky ward who covered epstein for "vanity fair" spent time inside the mansion. >> so, you know, he very much i think created his own world within his own homes. he wasn't moving out and about in the way that other people of his wealth and social status normally do. >> reporter: the government is seeking to seize that sprawling manhattan mansion. right now epstein is being held at the manhattan correctional center, home of the drug lord el c chapo and convicted at th at t e

they say a decision about acosta's future lies with the president. george? >> meantime, breaking news that came in just a couple of minutes ago. the british ambassador to the united states kim darroch has resigned in the wake of those leaked cables that were critical of the trump administration. >> reporter: yeah, and, george, this comes, of course, after the president said earlier this week that he will no longer deal with the uk ambassador after those leaked diplomatic cables showed that kim darroch called trump's administration inept and incompetent. trump, of course, then fired back getting personal calling darroch wacky and a very stupid guy. it seems now this morning the fight between the two have reached a tipping point and we have learned that the uk ambassador is resigning. george? >> mary bruce, thank very much. george, now to the search for answers after that accident on a cruise ship. questions are growing this morning after a toddler fell through a window. erielle reshef is here with that story for us, good morning, erielle. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. their attorney says chloe's

commissioner saying investigators are interviewing her family members. the wiegands' lawyer claiming the cruise line should have done >> you're not supposed to have an enclosure -- an opening like this that has an opening greater than 4 inches, and this is a giant, gaping hole. >> reporter: royal caribbean telling abc news, we are deeply saddened. our hearts go out to the family. later saying in a statement we are assisting local authorities as they make inquiries. and we're told chloe's family is hoping to leave the island for indiana sometime today. their attorney says it's still too early to know if they'll file a lawsuit. they want to see the surveillance footage from that ship and say they have so many questions before they do that. >> it is so heartbreaking. our hearts certainly go out to that family. thank you so much, erielle. well, now to that crazy sight caught on camera. a passenger sharing this video from adele that flight showing part of the plane rattling around one of its engines, forcing an emergency landing. that's not something you want to

see when looking out the window. david kerley has the latest on the investigation. >> reporter: a frightening sight for passengers, an engine blown and the nose cone from that engine still tumbling inside. >> after we heard the boom we just saw all the smoke come up into the cabin, and that's announces engine loss and flight attendants start preparing passengers for an emergency landing. >> fasten your seatbelts, loosen your collars. remove ties and eyeglasses. >> reporter: each passenger asked by the flight attendant to show that they know the bracing position. >> the flight attendants will come through, make sure that you've got this position down. >> make sure your seat belt is really tight, as low as possible. when we say brace for landing put your -- yes, forward your head in your lap. >> reporter: quickly diverting for this emergency landing in raleigh-durham. >> we are declaring an emergency. >> reporter: as the jet landed in raleigh, those emergency vehicles respond. later finally landing in baltimore, the passengers recount their anxious moments. >> i just texted my mom, i love you. i texted my dad, i love you.

>> reporter: quite the sight to see that engine nose cone from the end of the shaft still bouncing around in that engine. it's been taken off the aircraft being shipped to atlanta to figure out what happened and, george, they put a new engine on and that jet liner will be back in service later today. >> quick fix. david, thanks very much. we have the investigation now into a carbon monoxide leak that poisoned dozens of people at a motel in canada. abc's janai norman with that story. hey, janai. >> hey, george, good morning. there are so many questions. authorities want to know why so many people at that super 8 in winnipeg, canada, were exposed to carbon monoxide levels that were 20 times the normal limit. >> reporter: the calls came pouring in. reports of an apparent carbon monoxide poisoning inside a super 8 motel in winnipeg. >> the winnipeg fire paramedic service received a general alarm call from this location. >> reporter: authorities say nearly 50 people including staf hospital. more than a dozen listed in

critical condition. fire officials say the leak originated from the motel's boiler room. the major scare set off an alarm that detected the carbon monoxide levels were nearly 20 times over the limit. >> none of the patients were requiring resuscitation. none of them were intubated or anything. quite invasive such as that. >> reporter: carbon monoxide, the so-called silent killer is odorless and colorless, causing symptoms from headache to nausea or worse. out of an abundance of caution, gas was shut off to the building while investigating the cause. >> we don't expect any fatalities from this. >> authorities are crediting an automatic alarm with saving lives. here in the u.s. by law, many states require carbon monoxide detecters, and while the decision to place them in each unit varies, that's

something you always should ask about. >> janai, thank you. amy? a lawsuit facing one of the biggest and most well-known hotel chains, marriott, that could affect travelers around the world. the attorney general in washington, d.c. is suing the company accusing it of using hidden fees to bump up room costs. rebecca jarvis is here with more on this. i'm sure a lot of people are paying attention to this one, rebecca. >> oh, absolutely, amy. these hidden fees have become a big issue. they're frustrating and they can increase the cost of your bill by nearly $100. >> reporter: this morning marriott one of the largest hotel companies in the world sued by washington, d.c.'s attorney general. accused of bait and switch advertising and deceptive pricing practices on bookings made at marriott.com, expedia, priceline and other travel websites. marriott which owns 30 brands including sheraton and the ritz-carlton, is accused of misleading customers and reaping hundreds of millions of dollars by charging hidden resort fees.

the suit alleges those hidden resort amenity or destination fees can quietly increase the true cost of a hotel room by as much as $95 per room per day and can show up on your bill buried under the heading taxes and fees. marriott in a statement says, quote, we don't comment on pending litigation, but we look forward to continuing our discussions with other state ags. amy, a lot of states are now looking into this because it's become such a pervasive issue. >> while we wait for that to happen on capitol hill, what can consumers do in the meantime? is there any way to avoid these fees? >> reporter: there is a great website out there called resortfeechecker.com. and you can go there if you're going to a major city like las vegas or new york. check your hotel ahead of time to see if they impose these fees. another thing i recommend people do, call ahead. call your hotel, tell them i'm planning on staying with you, do you charge these fees? if you do, i'm going to cancel my reservation.

that's a good way to force them to potentially take the fees off your bill. >> i like that. get ahead of it. all right. >> yes, absolutely. advocate for yourself. >> always. those fees do add up. >> they're very frustrating and they do. >> all right. rebecca, thank you. now we turn to the festivities getting under way right here in new york city to celebrate the u.s. women's soccer team after their world cup win. thousands of people are going to be lining the streets for this ticker tape parade. eva pilgrim is already down there at city hall. has more for us. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this area will be filled with die-hard soccer fans here to celebrate the now four-time world champions. they'll be marching through this area of new york known as the canyon of heroes. this is all part of a massive parade, similar to the one they got after winning the world cup four years ago, and will end at city hall where new york city mayor bill de blasio will present them with the keys to the city. today's celebration comes one day after the big homecoming the team got right here on "gma" and after that kickoff, the ladies kept the party going all day,

lighting up social media as they hung out on a rooftop pool in downtown manhattan and they were even treated to a sunset cruise on a $100 million yacht, robin. >> they are living large, eva. i got to tell you they worked so hard so they deserve everything coming their way. there is more excitement heading their way and more work to do as well, eva. >> reporter: that's right. they still have more work to do. the tournament may be over, but they are hoping for a victory off the field. equal pay, mediation with the u.s. soccer federation is supposed to begin here soon, but even before that, they are going to be very busy. today they're here right now on the east coast. they have to fly to the west coast to appear at the espys. that will be live here on abc starting at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. and then there's a victory tour. they will play four exhibition games in cities across the country so that their american fans can see them kick it on the field and finally, robin, hopefully after all of that
