matthew knowles, he decided it was time to share his story with the world about his personal battle with breast cancer. it's a really important message for all men this morning. >> and to realize it does happen to men. so that is ahead. but first, we're going to begin with that breaking news out of north korea. firing a ballistic missile into the sea, just hours after announcing upcoming nuclear talks with the u.s. this weekend. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz tracking all the latest in washington this morning. martha, the timing here is obviously significant. >> reporter: it is, robin. north korea is sending a strong message to the u.s. this morning just as those working-level nuclear talks are scheduled to resume, the first time since that hanoi summit last february. a u.s. official says this ballistic missile was launched from the sea east of north korea's capital. it traveled nearly 300 miles and reached an altitude of 565 miles before landing in the sea of japan.

this would make it the highest altitude launch since 2017. a u.s. official says this was a test of a submarine missile although the officials said it was not launched from a submarine, but likely a platform at sea. kim jong-un's submarine launch missile program poses a significant threat because they're more difficult to detect. this is the 11th launch of a missile or rocket this year. president trump continually downplays these short-range missile launches. just last week saying that a lot of countries test short-range missiles. there's nothing spectacular about them, and it wasn't part of his agreement with kim jong-un, but the state department had a different message this morning calling on north korea to refrain from provocations and abide by u.n. security council resolutions. robin and george? >> they are in violation of those resolutions. we're going to turn to the

late nest the battle over impeachment. the president calling it a coup and secretary of state pompeo clashes with congressional leaders, and the state department inspector general is set to turn over new documents on ukraine to congress later today. cecilia vega tracking all the latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. house democrats and the secretary of state are both accusing each other of intimidation, but it seems for now anyway at least some of the people that mike pompeo does not want to pose on capitol hill are defying him. this morning, a showdown on capitol hill. house democrats demanding to depose five current and former state department officials who are witnesses in their investigation, but the secretary of state, mike pompeo, rebuffed the request at least for now, calling the demand, quote, an attempt to intimidate, bully and treat improperly the distinguished professionals of the department of state. democrats livid. >> secretary pompeo is just stonewalling and delaying and we aren't going to put up with those tactics. >> reporter: and overnight, the

democratic chairs of the house foreign affairs, oversight and intelligence committees sending a scathing response accusing pompeo of a blatant cover-up and a clear abuse of power. president trump escalating his own attacks on the democrats' impeachment inquiry calling it an attempted coup on his presidency. he tweeted, as i learn more and more each day, i am coming to the conclusion that what is taking place is not an impeachment. it is a coup, intended to take away the power of the people. the president blasting the whistle-blower saying, he's not only entitled to now the identity, he now also wants to interview the person. the president tweeting, why aren't we entitled to interview and learn everything about the whistle-blower and also the person who gave all of the false information to him. but the president's own inspector general is calling the whistle-blower's complaint credible and now top senate republican, iowa's chuck grassley issuing this public rebuke saying, this person appears to have followed the

whistle-blower protection laws and ought to be heard out and protected. uninformed speculation is counterproductive and doesn't serve the country. and now this morning, of course, after pompeo was found, that revelation was found to be among those listening in on the call between president trump and the president of ukraine. the state department's own inspector general is headed to capitol hill for what he is calling an urgent briefing in a secure facility. the topic, george, the state department's documents related to ukraine. >> and so he's turning those over today. meantime, two of the witnesses that the house wanted to see from the state department are actually going to appear before these committees. >> reporter: yeah, and it's going to happen pretty soon, george. the former u.s. special envoy to ukraine, kurt volker resigned. last week of course, after he was named in that whistle-blower complaint. he's agreed to give a deposition tomorrow and then the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine who was pushed out earlier this year, she will meet with congress next week, george. >> okay, cecilia vega, thanks very much.

george, you're going to be leaving us early this morning to travel to washington to meet with nancy pelosi. >> house speaker nancy pelosi, of course, she launched the formal inquiry last week. we'll bring that exclusive interview to you tomorrow morning. >> i can't wait to see that. now we're going to turn to the extreme weather across the country. the east coast bracing for record high temperatures today and flash flooding hitting the midwest overnight. ginger has the very latest. good morning to you, ginger. >> good morning to you, michael. stunning numbers coming in as far as that heat. after dozens of cities marked their hottest september on record, yesterday 18 states had record highs. 52 cities tied or broke their hottest october temperatures on record including cleveland and atlanta. today that's going to settle in on the east coast. i wanted to bring you some of the numbers because a place like philadelphia could go to 94 seeing their hottest temperature in nearly 80 years. 98, richmond. unbelievable numbers here but you know between there and the record lows that are happening in montana they're going to be storms. up to four inches of flash

flooding in milwaukee, flash flood threat from texas and oklahoma all the way up to michigan and now i am honored to bring you a brand-new tool that we have here at abc news, this is augmented reality where we get to focus on one state, pop it right out of the ground and showcase what's happening there, because this is where the dangerous weather is possible today. so let me start you out. see the streamlines, red lines that represent winds at the surface. the cold up above, the flash flood threat in between that includes a lot of mid-michigan, lansing and west michigan. then, you had a warm front as of yesterday the warm air is rising. if we take the camera we can move anywhere. this is the cool part of the tool. you see where that warm air was rising, creating the thunderstorms that don't move much. well now that front has become stationary and what's going to happen it's going to see training where the thunderstorms just roll over. you could easily have two to four inches of rain falling in a very quick period and that's when it becomes dangerous or deadly and what this tool will help us show to you. guys. >> wow.

>> wow. really cool. >> yeah. >> are you stunned? i know now you all will love weather as much as i do. >> i wonder what else you can do with it. >> so much. think about it, you can get into the nooks and crannies of a mountain range and showcase where exactly the fire is, where it could move next. you can talk about lake-effect snow, how it begins, and how it ends. it will be really powerful. and a big thanks to the graphic team. that think doesn't just pop out of the ground. it take as a lot of people. >> always takes a village. ginger, thank you. now to sentencing day for the former dallas police officer who shot and killed her neighbor. amber guyger found guilty of murder. the jury making the unanimous decision after just five hours of deliberation. now they'll decide how long she will spend behind bars. marcus moore is in dallas for us with this this morning. marcus, good morning. >> reporter: robin, good morning. i was in the courtroom when it was read and there was a burst of emotion. a year long wait for answers and

for justice had finally come to an end. it took less than five hours for amber guyger to learn her fate. >> we, the jury, unanimously find the defendant, amber guyger, guilty of murder. >> reporter: the former dallas police officer convicted of murder for shooting and killing 26-year-old botham jean, appeared to wipe away tears when an officer consoled her. botham jean's mother emotional and relieved in the courtroom, later telling the jury about the pain she's endured since losing her son a year ago. >> cannot sleep. i cannot eat. it's just been the most terrible time for me. >> reporter: the diverse jury made up of 12 people, 8 women and 4 men of different ethnicities, rejecting guyger's claim of self-defense, facing 5 to 99 years in prison. >> this verdict is for them. >> we still have the sentencing phase to go but this is a huge victory, not only for the family of botham jean, this is a victory for black people in america. >> reporter: during the trial guyger claimed she mistakenly

entered jean's apartment thinking it was her own believing him to be an intruder. jean who had moved to dallas to work for an accounting firm, was watching tv and eating ice cream. guyger told the jury she warned him to put his hands up although no witnesses corroborated her story. >> i yelled at him, let me see your hands. let me see your hands. >> not one of them heard you say that. >> i can't tell you why. >> it's because you didn't say it. >> reporter: the 31-year-old appeared distraught after her conviction walking straight into police custody. tuesday's verdict now a focal point in the nationwide conversation about equal justice for all. >> the call for justice means that police have to be held accountable for shooting citizens when there are other options. >> reporter: and botham jean is being remembered as a ray of sunshine. he was active in his church and

his friends and family have vowed to carry on his legacy of love and generosity. >> marcus, you've been on the story from the very beginning and you were in there in the courtroom. what's been the reaction there in dallas to this verdict? >> reporter: well, this is trial that people watched closely not only here in dallas but across the country and the reaction was strong. there were so many people here who feared that amber guyger might be acquitted. the fact that she was convicted of murder was very welcome and encouraging to so many people here in dallas. >> okay, marcus. thank you very much. new trouble at the atm. fees have reached a record high and may keep climbing. our chief economic correspondent rebecca jarvis has the details. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, george. not what people want to hear, but when you use an atm that's outside your banking network to take out cash you're not just charged by that company, but you're also charged by your bank in many cases for using a

foreign atm and, according to a recent survey by bankrate, the average total cost for an atm withdrawal has hit a record $4.72. that is up 33% over the last decade and there are a couple of factors that are driving this. first of all, fewer americans are using cash. so banks are spreading those fees out over a smaller group of people. banks also tend to hike fees when interest rates are lowered like the fed just did in july and, george, the fed is expected potentially to lower rates again going forward. >> so how can you avoid these rising fees? >> so it's pretty simple actually to do it but you do have to plan ahead. first of all, stick to using your own bank's atm. you're not going to get hit with charges if you do that. you can use your debit card to make purchases at stores and then request the cash back and then there's also going cashless, george. you have to plan a little ahead for that but you can take advantage of the credit card instead. but make sure you don't spend money that you don't have if you

are doing that. >> more and more people are doing that. rebecca, thanks very much. >> or just have somebody else pay for it, the best way to do it. all right, rebecca, we'll turn to that battle brewing between the royals and the tabloids. prince harry and duchess meghan are suing a publication over a private letter the duchess is warning his wife is falling victim to, quote, the same powerful forces behind the loss of his mother. amy is here with more. and this goes back and forth. >> reporter: it certainly does. >> between the tabloids and the royals. >> reporter: and it has had a lot of history and some tragic ones indeed. prince harry says he respects the media and that given the current state of the world he said we need responsible media more than ever, but they are now taking on "the mail" on sunday and its parent company accusing them of being on a cane to publish derogatory statements about the couple. as prince harry and duchess meghan embark on the last day of their tour of africa, a trip that's garnered them positive coverage around the world, a royal bombshell. harry taking direct aim at

british tabloids accusing them of escalating what he calls knowingly false and malicious attacks on meghan throughout her pregnancy and during the first months of their son archie's life. harry defending his wife saying, i have been a silent witness to her private suffering for too long. they have been able to create lie after lie at her expense. there was a human cost to this relentless propaganda, specifically when it is knowingly false and malicious. i cannot begin to describe how painful it has been. harry has often talked about how he instantly fell for the american born beauty. >> i never heard of meghan before, and i was beautifully surprised when i walked into that room and saw her, and there she was sitting there. i was, like, okay. i have to up my game. >> reporter: but during their engagement interview they also spoke about the difficulties they faced dealing with the tabloids. >> i think we were just hit so hard at the beginning with a lot of mistruths that i made the

choice not to read anything, positive or negative. it didn't make sense and instead we focused all our energies just on nurturing our relationship, on us. >> reporter: harry says the decision to take legal action was made when "the mail" on sunday published a private letter the duchess sent her estranged father thomas after he missed their wedding. harry alleging the letter was published in an intentionally destructive manner designed to manipulate the reader and further the divisive agenda of the papers and purposefully misled leaders by strategically omitting portions of it. the prince also comparing the plight of meghan to his late mother princess diana whose death he spoke about in "diana, 7 days." >> she had quite a severe head injury, but she was very much still alive in the backseat, and those people that caused the accident, instead of helping were taking photographs of her dying in the backseat. >> reporter: in the statement, the prince writes, my deepest fear is history repeating itself. i've seen what happens when someone i love is commoditized to the point they are no longer treated or seen as a real

person. i lost my mother and now i watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces. and the lawsuit is being privately funded by the couple and they say they will donate any proceeds they may get to an anti-bullying charity. "the mail" on sunday says it stands by its story, and they will defend this case vigorously. >> we know prince william sued the tabloid as well. >> that is correct. they sued a french magazine citing that serious breach of privacy after it published topless photos of the duchess back in 2012. the pictures were taken with a long lens while the couple was sunbathing on a patio of a private home. they reached a final settlement with the magazine two years ago. the royal family noted again the similarities to princess diana in that case as well saying the incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of diana, the princess of wales, and all the more upsetting for the duke and duchess for being so.

we're seeing this time and time again and they're finally taking matters into their own hands. >> as they should. thank you so much, amy. following a lot of other stories including michael's interview with beyonce's father, matthew knowles, he reveals his breast cancer diagnosis. that's only on "gma" this morning. we cannot wait for that, and the fight against vaping. we go on an exclusive ride-along with police undercover. but first, let's go back to ginger. whington, d.c. if you get to 96 degrees you tie an all-time october heat record. but it's not going to last long. everybody say, bye-bye. by saturday morning, yeah, we're talking about 40s, guys. all right, your local weather is coming up in 30 seconds. first though, the chilly cities sponsored by walmart.

mutated which means i have four things to be concerned about -- prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma and breast cancer. the rest of my life i have to be very much aware and conscious and do all of the early detection, constant mammograms and constant prostate exams and constant mris for the rest of my life. >> reporter: luckily he found it early. how are you doing? >> i'm doing really good, michael. i had my surgery the last week of july, and now doing all the steps for recovery. >> you go through this but don't go through it alone. you have a family. how did they handle it? >> well, the first call was to my family. that was a very first call. because this is genetics and it also means that my kids have a higher chance, a higher risk, even my grandkids have a higher

risk and they handled it like they should. they went and got the test. >> reporter: knowles said cancer changed his outlook on life. >> i stopped drinking. i just wanted to have a clean bill of health, do things, exercise, meditate. things that used to be important to me now. i look at the world differently. >> reporter: today he is urging everyone to do the same, especially black men. breast cancer is more common in black men than it is in white men. so what have you learned about the disparities when it comes to this, and with race? >> i learned again that the numbers we have for men on breast cancer are not adequate because we don't enough men to come forward that take the exam. i'm hoping by me coming here today, speaking out, letting folks know that you can survive this, but it has to be early detection, and i can't overemphasize the word early.

>> i had no idea about this until my brother went through it and i thought, whoa, male breast cancer, something i never thought in my family, my brother or anything like that, and i never really paid attention to it, and i think like most men out there, you just deal with something happening yourself. i'll be fine. >> i'm sorry to hear about your brother but i hope you also stand side by side with me. i hope you go get a brca exam. >> well, you got me going to the doctor to get this blood test. i'll tell you that. >> well, thank you. >> thank you so much for all this -- for everybody out there watching, really appreciate you sharing that because this is going to help a lot of people, myself included. >> i mean, really sit there with him. he found his early and he said his history in imaging when he worked at xerox let him know the signs to look for and the spots of blood on the sheet and also on his shirt kind of sent him to the doctor for the test, and i definitely will take this test because my brother as i said went through it as well, and it's not something we hear about a lot as men.

>> it's not. >> and we're going to bring somebody to help us more with this. dr. jen ashton. doc, thank you so much for being here this morning. the american cancer society estimates that 500 men will die from breast cancer this year. who is most at risk, and what do we need to know as male breast cancer as opposed to women's breast cancer? >> well, this is why it's so important to talk about it. first of all, there are some risk factors associated with male breast cancer, like cirrhosis, a condition of the liver, something called klinefelter's and chest radiation and of course family history. you can get it when you have none of these risk factors and the stigma as you said, michael, often prevents men from going to seek evaluation. it's a very nk wldhat can prevent men, unfortunately, from getting early diagnosis and, therefore, early treatment. >> matthew talked about this

brca gene mutation. tell us more about the genetic component of cancer. >> like anything there is a small genetic component, 10% of male breast cancer does have a genetic component so every man who is diagnosed with breast cancer absolutely has to be offered genetic testing. and we have to emphasize, we hear about the brca mutation. there are many gene mutations that are associated with breast cancer. those are just the two most common ones but, again, when you talk about a man getting genetic testing, they are less likely to do so and underrepresented minorities even less likely and it is so important because their offspring has a 50% chance of also having that mutation. so it doesn't just affect them. >> and that's why matthew was bringing it up talking about his children. women are told at a certain age it keeps fluctuating what age it is to get a mammogram. at least we're told to do that. what can men do? >> well, you know, men because they have less breast tissue they should know their bodies. and if they feel something, because mammogram screening is not recommended for men, that's

obviously something that's really, really important in terms of being healthy, you guys. we have to remember heart disease is still the number one killer of men and women, so even after a diagnosis of breast cancer, the best thing you can do for your health is watch your weight, exercise, don't smoke. protect your heart. according to the american heart association, cancer survivors are still more likely to die of heart disease and some types of breast cancer treatment can affect the heart so this is about treating the whole person, not just a body part. >> and like michael's brother, my brother too a couple of years ago went through the same thing with breast cancer. he detected a lump. thankfully he's doing well too. real men wear pink. >> that's right. >> there is an organization and i'm glad that we're bringing this up. we went pink yesterday, and it's just so good to continue the conversation. >> the awareness is literally life saving here. >> absolutely. all right, doc, thank you. >> you bet. >> important information there. thank you. coming up, an abc news

>> i need i.d., buddy. >> really? >> i need i.d. >> reporter: but just minutes into the operation, an illegal sale. >> i mean this just shows how big of a problem this still is. >> no doubt, definitely. >> reporter: at two locations, the 18-year-old was able to buy e-cigarettes. the transaction taking seconds. >> what's up, boss? can i get a stick please, pineapple? >> $10. >> thank you. have a good one. >> reporter: and at this store. >> can i get a stick please, the mango? how much do i owe you? >> 9. >> 9. >> reporter: it turns out this place sold e-cigarettes to police twice before. when asked about why he sold to a person without i.d., the salesclerk said he looked older like 30 years old. he was wearing a jacket. after the sale, police moving in with a citation up to $2,000. >> what's going through your mind as you watch this? >> it's disappointing to see the noncompliance. some people have gotten the message. clearly, some people have not. >> it progressively got worse,

extremely fast. >> reporter: 17-year-old tryston zohfeld is just one example of why police are taking these stings seriously. his vape use sent him to the hospital where he needed a ventilator just to breathe. >> it's a big deal. it's not something to look over. >> reporter: and so far, health officials haven't connected any specific vaping products to the vaping-related illnesses including tryston's. but they are investigating. now some states are taking some serious action. massachusetts has banned all vaping devices. some of the vape shops there have now sued the state, and starting this friday, new york will ban all flavored e-cigarettes. michigan did the same because so many health officials believe that flavors are used to get young people hooked. >> no question about that. >> all right, what an eye-opener. >> when you see them buying without i.d. >> scary. >> something new every day with vaping. thank you so much, gio. coming up, we have the surprise of a lifetime for the sweetest superfan. we're calling it our "play of the day" when we come back.

[ applause ] >> you got it, robin. good morning, everybody. we're going to begin with matt damon opening up about why he turned down one of the highest paying acting jobs of all time. the lead role in "avatar." damon sat down for an interview with "british gq" and he ry veeld that director james cameron came to him and offered him the role and 10% of the profits. >> oh. >> yeah, as we all know "avatar" turned out to be one of the highest grossing movies of all-time. just a little math showed that matt would have had to payout of roughly $250 million for one role. >> oh, my. >> for one role so why did he turn it down? matt tells the magazine it would have conflicted with another big role of his and caused a problem, for, quote all of my friends on the "bourne ultimatum." i just couldn't do it to them. >> okay. okay. that's all right.

>> i love that. >> i love that. >> damon does say he regretted the decision. >> you think? >> but not because of the money. no, he says it's because he realized saying no to cameron meant he would probably pass on the chance to work with him ever as cameron makes so few movies. the lead in "avatar" went to sam worthington who did a terrific job and matt -- matt can next be seen with bale in "ford versus ferrari" getting great buzz. >> i cannot wait to see that. but $250 million? my friends, they just have to understand. i love you guys. what do you need? i i'll help you out. we'll do "bourne" the next year. wow. >> unbelievable. also in the news this morning, huge congratulations in store for tyler perry. the actor turned media mogul honored yesterday right there with a star on the hollywood walk of fame. long overdue. >> beautiful. >> oh, wow. >> i thought he already had one. >> give it up for him. what a great guy. this milestone all the more

[ laughter ] >> and, everybody, that's "pop news." >> that's all. congrats to her, awesome. [ applause ] now to our "gma" cover story. more on harry and meghan as they take on the tabloids they are reuniting this morning after traveling separately through africa. meghan opening up about how much she misses her husband. maggie rulli is in johannesburg with all the latest. hey, maggie. >> reporter: hey, amy. yeah, today we got to see the royals back together again finally. you could just see how much they had missed each other and, you know, despite that statement overnight from prince harry calling out some of the british tabloids that are actually here on tour, the couple made a point today to go to all of their planned engagements seeming to show that they came here to africa to work.

a much more subdued start today on the royal tour. that late-night bombshell from prince harry hanging over the family's last day in africa. the prince releasing a statement slamming the british tabloids for how they're treating his wife, calling their behavior simply bullying which scares and silences people. >> for harry to launch this statement in the middle of a royal tour is an unprecedented moment for a member of the royal family. it's him drawing the line between the press and himself and he's defending his family. >> reporter: the statement announcing that the duchess is launching a lawsuit against "the mail" on sunday for publishing a private letter meghan wrote to her father but the couple seems determined not to let it overshadow the work they came here to do. reunited after six days apart. >> i miss him so much. but, no, i think for us it's just been a really special trip because you get to see him when you're focusing on the causes that are really important to us. >> reporter: harry and meghan having a big day of engagements. the duchess explaining the tour

has been carefully planned around archie. >> i think the schedule they've been very kind to me because everything is based around archie's feed times so it's a full plate but we're making it work. >> reporter: seen holding hands as they end the trip just as they started. this time in johannesburg and both speaking about how much this trip has meant to them. >> ever since i came to this country as a young boy, africa has held me in an embrace that i will never forget. >> reporter: but the big question on this final day of the tour is, will we see baby archie again? we know that all three of them will be heading back to london tonight and today both harry and meghan made a point of saying how much this trip has inspired them. harry even saying that he's going to take what he learned here in africa on this tour and teach it to his son. so, guys, clearly this trip has had a huge impact on the new royal family. >> yeah, and certainly the world is watching, maggie, thank you so much. michael, over to you. >> thank you, amy. and now to a struggle couples may be facing called

intimacy anorexia. it's when a partner or spouse pulls away and you don't know why. the doctor who coined the phrase says there are solutions and the couple you're about to meet is celebrating their 20th anniversary today. kaylee hartung has their story. >> reporter: it's the million-dollar question. how much sex is normal in a relationship? >> when was the last time we had sex? >> um -- >> reporter: the phrase sexless marriage is reportedly one of the most googled phrases about sex and marriage. with a reported 21,000 people searching the term every month. >> sexless marriages are in the millions. it's an epidemic. >> reporter: there are common reasons for a lack of physical it masy in a marriage. stress, lack of communication, depression, lack of time, infidelity and aging but now doctors are also citing something new. intimacy anorexia. >> they're too busy for you. they blame you. they withhold love, praise, sex. >> reporter: for heather and nathaniel hawkins, finding their solution for the lack of intimacy in their relationship

was 20 years in the making. >> when heather would bring it up, i would be, we haven't had sex in what? >> reporter: the couples say they spent almost 19 years in a sexless marriage due to his hidden battle as an intimacy anorexic. >> he did start to blame me right away. >> reporter: heather says nathaniel's rejection of her attempts at sexual intimacy began from the moment they said i do. >> it was painful. when i would talk to my friends about it, they didn't understand. >> reporter: nathaniel admits he was in total denial of his wife's needs and turned to emotional and physical affairs to fulfill his own. >> i was absolutely the one pulling back away both sexually and with -- >> right. >> reporter: on the brink of final separation, heather stumbled upon a website that outlined the characteristics of intimacy anorexia. >> i definitely felt for the first time ever seen and heard. >> reporter: after a year of intensive counseling the couple say they are now closer than ever, but admit their journey is a process.

>> this year right now compared to last year is like a different life. >> reporter: for "good morning america," kaylee hartung, abc news, new york. and let's bring in psychotherapist dr. tiffanie davis henry and, doc, thanks for joining us. >> no problem. >> in that piece, we saw that couple. they get married and almost immediately they start having these issues. why does this happen? >> well, when i look at why, the why of this, it's a three-pronged approach. i look at the biological aspects, which could be medications. it could be physiological changes in the body. some sort of illness or injury that they're going through and it could be psychological. there could be depression, there could be trauma, there could be anxiety. a myriad of things there, but usually what we find in most couples there is a relational or social aspect going on, perhaps there's discord or a lot of conflicts or arguments, people being mistreated, taken advantage of in relationships. michael, if you don't like

someone, you're not going to want to sleep with them, so a lot of times when there's conflict and all that going on in a relationship, people tend to pull away. >> and how can couples work through this? >> well, it does take a lot of work. work is the operative word because work means we both have to come to the table and be willing to do whatever it is we need to do to fix the issue. what often happens is, though, it becomes a blame game and one person will say you're the one with the low sex desire, you don't want to have sex so you're the problem without recognizing, i may be doing something or not doing something that's causing you to pull away. that's kind of what we saw in that clip, too. >> in other words, go get counseling. don't give up so soon. >> one person can't go. we both going. >> i like that. >> we both going. >> we both going. >> we're both going. >> doc, thank you very much for that and, robin, thank you for the faces you were making back there with eddie. and now we're going to go to ginger. hey, ginger.

it is breast cancer awareness month and we have nutritionist rachel beller here to show us how to make over your meals with foods that can help you stay healthy. rachel, thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> always look forward to this. first of all, tell us what makes these foods so healthy for us. >> robin, we have years and years of research supporting the notion that what we eat can make a difference when it comes to breast health. having said that, there is no single food or diet that can cure or prevent breast cancer. but it's the combination of
