7:02 am
you've been humming along over there. >> ric ocasek, one of the first cassette tapes that i played over and over again. the cars, a staple on the air waves. he was just inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame last year. we'll have much more on his amazing life and musical achievements ahead. >> very gentle and sensitive, kind man. >> yes, he was. >> we'll have more on that coming up. but we begin with the escalating tensions in the persian gulf after that attack that crippled key oil facilities in saudi arabia. the trump administration is blaming iran for the attack. that regime denies the claim and oil prices soared after the president warned the u.s. is locked and loaded for potential retaliation. martha raddatz is tracking all the latest from washington. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is one of the most serious foreign policy challenges the president has faced. with global consequences, a spike in oil prices and the possibility of a major military conflict with iran. this morning, with some of the world's largest oil processing facilities in saudi arabia still smoldering, president trump
7:03 am
threatening military action in retaliation, tweeting, we are locked and loaded depending on verification. but a senior administration official tells abc news that the highly coordinated attack was launched from iranian soil nearly a dozen cruise missiles and at least 20 drones packed with explosives pounding multiple targets at the facilities. the massive blaze lighting up the skies. the smoke and fire visible from space. >> if the iranians directly attacked the saudis, it's a major escalation and the first time we have seen a direct attack by the iranians on saudi territory. >> reporter: secretary of state mike pompeo pointing the finger at iran as well. in a tweet calling on all nations to publicly and unequivocally condemn iran's attacks, which iran flatly denies. the iranian foreign minister mocking pompeo saying the u.s.
7:04 am
having failed at max pressure now turning to max deceit. over the summer iran was accused of attacking oil tankers in the persian gulf and shooting down a highly sophisticated and costly u.s. drone. after threats of military action, president trump then called off retaliatory strikes but this time could be different. >> this is as close as the u.s. has come to a direct confrontation with iran since the standoff began. >> reporter: an official telling abc news it may take six months to repair, and oil is predicted to go up $20 a barrel, the official said. president trump is trying to reassure americans tweeting, plenty of oil. but promising to tap into the strategic oil reserves if necessary. this while the administration is trying to figure out how to respond to this brazen attack, george. >> martha raddatz, thanks very much. robin? george, now to that massive walkout. nearly 50,000 united autoworkers striking against general motors this morning.
7:05 am
55 plants all around the country shut down. alex perez is in detroit where workers have been protesting since early this morning. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. the union said there would be a strikef they couldn't reach a deal by midnight and that's what happened here. i want you to take a look behind me here. you can see a number of workers already on the picket lines here. the union says they're fighting for better wages, better benefits and their share of profits. general motors says they've made a substantial offer that includes 5,400 new jobs and saving two plants that were slated to be closed, but tion s enough. they're scheduled to get back to negotiations later today. cecilia? >> alex, thanks. let's bring in rebecca jarvis for more on this autoworkers strike and of course those tensions in the middle east. let's start with the walkout. a prolonged strike here could really end up hurting both sides. >> that's right because there are costs on both sides of this, cecilia. for general motors, this strike costs about $1.3 million every
7:06 am
single hour that it takes place. meantime, the workers who you see walking out on strike are collecting much fewer wages than a typical week. they're now collecting about $250 a week. on average, they collect about $1,200 a week so you can imagine the pocketbook issues particularly for those workers who are now on strike and waiting for a deal. >> those numbers are just staggering. in the middle east that 6% loss on the world's oil supply, what is it going to mean for consumers here? when will they start to feel that? >> it is important to remember that the oil market is worldwide. even though the united states produces a huge amount of oil, we're actually the second largest producer of oil in the world. we're still feeling that impact on prices this morning. overnight oil prices surged 10%, up $5, and that translates at the pump to about 10 cents to 24 cents higher. you will see that in the coming days. the question is how much longer does this last because the saudis say that they're going to
7:07 am
be able to bring back some production. the question is, that uncertainty that now hangs over the market and any additional uncertainty that gets added, cecilia, that's where you start to see potential for prices going even higher and in particular in forniawhich gets a lot of its imported oil from saudi, they will definitely see their prices spike even more. >> stay on this one today. thanks, rebecca. >> you always talk about how uncertainty, the market does not like it. >> exactly. now to the growing questions over that new report of about supreme court justice brett kavanaugh. new sexual misconduct allegations when he was a college freshman. president trump coming to his defense but some 2020 candidates are calling for impeachment. our senior national correspondent terry moran with all of this. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. justice brett kavanaugh was confirmed last year to the supreme court by the narrowest margin in the senate in 130 years in part because of those allegations of sexual misconduct made by former classmates at yale university.
7:08 am
now, he's on the court. another allegation has arisen and the white house is girding for battle. it's been a year since that heated confirmation hearing for justice brett kavanaugh but this morning he's facing a newly reported allegation from his college days. according to "the new york times," max stier, his former yale classmate told senators and the fbi, that he saw mr. kavanaugh with his pants down at a drunken dorm party where friends pushed his genitals onto a female student. president trump rushing to kavanaugh's defense this weekend tweeting that kavanaugh is an innocent man and suggesting kavanaugh start suing people for libel. the new allegation comes from a book out this week. kavanaugh's defenders says the "times" report adapted from a book coming out this week leaves out an important detail. the book says that the female student stier described, quote, refused to discuss the incident
7:09 am
and several of her friends said she does not recall it. >> this article just shows the obsession with the far left with trying to smear justice kavanaugh by going 30 years back with anonymous sources. >> reporter: while kavanaugh declined to comment the report is similar to another accusation made last year by another former yale classmate, deborah ramirez. ramirez alleged kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a different party when they were both drunk and when she shoved him away she says she was touched without her consent. >> are ms. ramirez's allegations about you true? >> those are not. she -- none of the witnesses in the room support that. the -- if that had happened that would have been the talk of campus in our freshman dorm. >> reporter: kavanaugh also denied claims of sexual assault made by dr. christine blasey ford who testified during kavanaugh's heated confirmation hearing that he held her down and groped her. >> i believed he was going to
7:10 am
rape me. >> this whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit. >> reporter: while the fbi investigated blasey ford and ramirez's stories last year, and found no corroboration of the allegations, "the new york times" reports that the bureau did not investigate max stier's story even though he notified the fbi and members of the senate. democrats say kavanaugh should never have been confirmed. >> my concern here is that the process was a sham. >> reporter: the woman at the center of these most recent allegations spoke briefly to abc news outside her home in boston. the woman who abc news is not naming at this time said she was not interested in speaking to reporters because she was involved in the reporting last year during the confirmation process and she, quote, can't do it again. however, when she was asked if there were other sources to speak to about this story, she said, quote, all i can say is ask brett. george. >> okay, terry moran, thanks very much.
7:11 am
let's bring in mary bruce for more on this and, mary, democratic candidates for president pouncing. this is grounds for kavanaugh to be removed from office. >> reporter: yeah, george, the calls for kavanaugh to go are growing. this morning, at least six of the democratic presidential candidates say kavanaugh should be removed from the bench. elizabeth warren tweeting that confirmation is not exoneration saying these newest revelations are disturbing while kamala harris says that his place on the court is an insult to the pursuit of truth and justice. now, joe biden is stopping short of calling for kavanaugh to be impeached, but he says this latest report is deeply troublin and hsays there needs to be an investigation into whether the fbi was pressured to ignore some of this evidence, george. >> mary, as a practical matter, of course, impeachment would have to start in the house. several democrats behind it but it's still a pretty high bar. >> reporter: impeachment is technically possible but it certainly seems unlikely. now, sources on the house judiciary committee tell us that they are considering all of their options and we know that chairman nadler has said before that he intended to look into the kavanaugh matter but even if the democrats in the house take
7:12 am
action, it isn't likely to go anywhere over in the republican-controlled senate where leader mitch mcconnell this morning is making it very clear that he's standing by justice kavanaugh, george. >> mary bruce, thanks very much. cecilia? george, there are new developments in the war on vaping. new york governor andrew cuomo issuing an emergency executive order banning the sale of those flavored e-cigarettes here in the states. critics say those flavored pods are targeted toward teenagers. the trump administration has proposed a national ban on flavored e-cigarettes. also this morning, new developments involving purdue pharma. the company that made billions selling the prescription painkiller oxycontin has now filed for bankruptcy. this comes, of course, just days after reaching a tentative settlement with many of the state and local governments suing it over the toll of opioids. that settlement expected to be worth billions but this battle is far from over. about half of the states suing have not signed onto that settlement, robin. >> like you said, far from over. now to the nfl. its star, antonio brown, taking
7:13 am
the field for the first time since those sexual assault allegations surfaced against him. playing with his new team, the patriots, as his accuser prepares to meet with the league today. paula faris is here with those details. good morning, paula. >> reporter: good morning, robin. we have learned that settlement discussions between antonio brown and his accuser began as early as april. brown not speaking to reporters after his patriots debut on sunday instead letting his play do all the talking. >> end zone, caught by brown. touchdown1 new england. >> reporter: the controversy swirling all around superstar wide receiver antonio brown making a high-flying debut with the new england patriots. >> antonio brown, the newest patriot. >> reporter: brown scoring his first touchdown with the reigning super bowl champs less than a week after his former fitness trainer britney taylor filed a civil lawsuit accusing brown of rape and sexual assault. this as sources tell abc news the former lsu gymnast is preparing to meet with the nfl investigators later today.
7:14 am
we now know that representatives for brown and taylor have been discussing a settlement for months. abc news learning that just days before the lawsuit was filed, brown refused to settle for $2 million. a source also telling abc news taylor initially asked for over $10 million. on friday, the 31-year-old who denies the allegations appeared to address the claims in this video, live streamed from tom brady's training facility. >> stay focused. the devil is going to try to bring you down when you get closer to your goals. >> antonio brown. >> reporter: on sunday, brown took the field after the nfl commissioner roger goodell decided not to place the seven-time pro bowler on the commissioner's exempt list. the nfl's version of paid leave. after the game where the patriots soundly defeated the miami dolphins, brown avoided the media. meantime, his quarterback, tight-lipped about the nfl's decision allowing brown to play.
7:15 am
>> i don't make any of those decisions so i just show up and play and do my job. >> reporter: now helmetmaker zenith hasnnounced it's ending its endorsement deal with brown. all this is going on as abc news learned britney taylor, she got married over the weekend ander interview with the nfl is today. they're seeking to gather additional evidence. this is far from over. >> thanks, paula. >> thank you, paula. switch now and remember ric ocasek. tributes are pouring in for the founder of the cars, the band that ruled the airwaves in the '70s and '80s, dying on sunday in his manhattan townhouse, and chris connelly is here with a celebration of his life and distinctive sound. good morning, chris. >> reporter: good morning. during an era of pop's most passionate shouters, ric ocasek of the cars was cool and dry and for decades millions were thrilled by his sleek, meticulously crafted rock 'n' roll. ♪ always dancing down the street ♪ >> reporter: as songwriter and

we're following right now. tensions are rising with iran this morning. president trump has warned the u.s. is, quote, locked and loaded after that attack could cripple a key oil facility in saudi arabia. the trump administration blames iran for the attack. iran is denying responsibility. oil prices are now skyrocketing. also this morning, nearly 50,000 united autoworkers are striking against general motors. they're waking out on the job. 55 plants around the country are shut down at this hour. take a look at this one. it's a close call at the tennessee titans game on sunday. the pyrotechnic equipment on the field sparking started a fire there just before the start of the game. thankfully, crews were able to contain it. the game did go on, in fact, there was a really incredible moment. we'll tell you about it in our "play of the day" coming up. >> that's coming up. we begin now, though, with the latest on felicity huffman. sentenced friday to 14 days behind bars for her roam in the college admissions scandal. that could set a sentencing floor for other parents charged like lori loughlin, eva pilgrim here with the story. good morning, eva. >> this was a decision that sparked some backlash on social media. judge giving felicity huffman 14 days for her role in the largest college admissions scandal in history.
7:32 am
the "desperate housewives" star now preparing to serve her time. this morning, new images of felicity huffman back home in los angeles appearing for the first time in public since a federal judge sentenced her to 14 days in prison for her involvement in the "varsity blues" college admissions scandal. the actress seen smiling with her husband william h. macy and youngest daughter georgia saturday as they unloaded their car outside of an apartment building. >> felicity, have you prepared yourself for the sentence? >> reporter: a stark contrast to the day before when a stone-faced huffman appeared hand in hand with macy at her sentencing in boston federal court for pleading guilty to paying $15,000 to boost her now 19-year-old daughter's s.a.t. scores. the judge also sentencing the "desperate housewives" star to one year of probation, 250 hours of community service and a $30,000 fine, explaining the reason behind her decision saying, huffman tried to get one more advantage in a system already so distorted by money
7:33 am
and privilege. through tears the 56-year-old apologized to her family for betraying them and accepted the court's decision saying in a statement, there are no excuses or justifications for my actions, period. there are 51 people embroiled in the "varsity blues" scandal, 34 parents, 9 coaches, 1 athletic director and 7 others who worked in both official and unofficial capacities for the private college counseling service at the center of this scandal. now, loughlin's attorney is due back in court early next month. but she is not expected to attend. as for huffman she has six weeks to report to a prison. her attorney requesting she be placed in one near home. lets talk about this now with dan abrams. eva mentioned the backlash. that doesn't necessarily dictate jail time in the case. >> the prosecutor and judge made it clear they were focusing on
7:34 am
a lot on the community outrage, sending a message. that's not good news for felicity huffman. when you hear a judge talking about we need to make it clear that this isn't okay and this message needs to be sent, that sort of tells you why she got any prison time at all in connection with this particular crime. remembering that it is in the end a financial crime and, therefore, different from some of the other cases people tend to compare. >> not this high profile, not necessarily jail time. >> i don't think so. if it had not been this kind of hoopla around the case i don't think she'd be serving any time. >> in the meantime, what does it mean for lori loughlin fighting the charges? that means she has to wing at this point to avoid jail. >> correct, correct. i hear everyone saying, oh, my goodness. lori loughlin could get so much more time. there was a critical ruling from the judge here that said that the amount of money the 500,000 that lori loughlin spent versus the 15,000 felicity huffman spent, that that isn't
7:35 am
going to be the dispositive factor meaning you can't prove, prosecutors can't prove the universities or the test providers lost that amount of money and if they can't prove that they lost that amount of money, then that's not going to be relevant in sentencing so while lori loughlin has more charges against her and that's dangerous, that big ruling from the judge is certainly something that can be a little bit encouraging but if she's thinking she's just going to be able to make this go away and not serve any time -- >> she could still get a deal now? >> she could still probably get a deal but it won't be 14 days based on this. now to that terrifying attempted home invasion caught on camera in california. two masked men seen kicking in a front door while a mother and her young son were inside. now we're hearing from that mom and it's her screams that might have scared her off. will reeve is here with the story. hey, will, good morning. >> reporter: it's a situation you prepare for as you hope it never comes. home intruders right at your door. the leggett family in california faced that situation recently, but the family's preparation, a

>> good morning. the "resident evil" franchise grossed over a billion dollars globally and this morning, a stunt double from the film says the company placed profits over safety and that she paid the ultimate price. she's performed in some of the biggest blockbusters of the decade like "guardians of the galaxy: volume 1," doubled for rosie huntington-whiteley in "mad max: fury road" and this is her flying through the air with thor and captain america in "age of ultron" but this morning stunt performer olivia jackson is speaking out exclusively to abc news suing "resident evil" producers after she lost an arm in what she describes as a haphazardly planned stunt gone terribly gone wrong. >> it's something you hear happening to someone else and then you think, oh, dear, that's horrible but never think it's going to be you. >> reporter: jackson was doubling for milla jovovich's character in "resident evil: the final chapter" when she says she suffered a horrific on-set injury.

7:44 am
world to the polar opposite in a split second. >> reporter: in her lawsuit, jackson alleges that before she signed on to the film, the movie's producers misled her into believing that their insurance would cover any potential injuries sustained on the job. she says that after the accident, they promised to provide full financial support of all medical expenses, but later reneged and only paid a small fraction. >> if i knew that there was limited insurance or no insurance i would definitely not have taken the job. >> reporter: now she and her attorneys are calling for change in hollywood hoping her loss will prevent others from experiencing tragedy. >> i'd love to make everybody aware of the situation like this. so that they can take better care of themselves so that it doesn't happen again. >> now, jackson is seeking unspecified damages and is asking for a jury trial. abc news has reached out to the defendants several times for comment. we have not heard back from them yet, though, and your heart just breaks. >> absolutely. >> hearing what happened to her. >> they're a billion-dollar

8:20 am
gradually increases tolerance that reaction doesn't occur. and cost is unknown at this point, but some analysts could say it would be $4,200 a year. it would have to be taken indefinitely, and the opponents of this medication say there are potentially severe and increased risk of side effects in the clinical trials 14% of kids taking this drug had serious side effects versus 3% taking placebo which is kind of ironic. you're trying to reduce that risk, and the long-term effects are not yet known, so we will be following it. >> you're a nutritionist, and you have dealt with allergies yourself. what kind of overall tips do you have? >> get formally tested if you suspect you or your child has an allergy, carry those auto injectors, always read labels and if in doubt, skip it entirely. >> jen ashton, thanks very much. cecilia. today kicks off child passenger safety week and we have a "gma" exclusive. cars.com is revealing its 2019 honor roll of cars that are easiest for installing car seats.
