7:01 am
shifting support. the new abc news/"washington post" poll shows who's polling ahead and who's dropping behind, but will a brand-new endorsement shake things up? dramatic rescue. >> she's holding onto some roots there. >> this hiker saved from falling down a canyon in the nick of time. >> we got her just in time there. >> a paramedic's incredible catch caught on camera. and music's biggest night. >> thank you so much to the grammys. thank you. >> hollywood gearing up for the grammys. all you need to know about the nominees, the performers, the collaborations everyone is talking about. hey, good morning. happy sunday. let's get right to our top story, the expanding outbreak of the deadly coronavirus.
7:02 am
look at the map, what started in china, has spread to europe, australia and the united states. >> here's what we know as we come on the air. there is now one more confirmed case in the u.s., bringing the total to three. in china, where the outbreak started, the total of those sickened rose overnight 2,000. 56 people have died. >> we have confirmed that the u.s. state department is evacuating staff from the consulate in wuhan, china, ground zero for the outbreak. ian pannell is covering it all for us from hong kong. ian, good morning to you. >> reporter: let's right. growing numbers infected. a new warning about how contagious this could be and the american family trapped in the middle of this crisis. this morning, another american diagnosed with the potentially deadly coronavirus. the patient in southern california is the third to be diagnosed with the new pneumonia-like virus in the u.s. the cdc confirming they've been to the chinese city of wuhan,
7:03 am
the epicenter of the outbreak, and tested positive for the virus overnight. the patient's in isolation and is said to be in good condition but officials warning, more people will likely become infected. this, as the outbreak escalates yet again. there are now 15 countries and territories worldwide with cases. this morning, chinese health officials saying more than 2,000 are now infected there and 56 have died. the chinese health commissioner now warning the source of the infection still unknown. the harmfulness of the coronavirus to people of different ages is now changing. most worrying, indications that the virus is becoming increasingly contagious. over 1300 more medics have been flown to the epicenter, wuhan, where officials are scrambling to build three new emergency hospitals in a matter of days. these exclusive images filmed from inside the city, a ghost town.
7:04 am
signs warning people to wear masks fluttering in the wind, some shoppers take the risk to stock up on desperately needed supplies. but still there are still 1,000 u.s. citizens stranded in the wuhan area. now the state department is scrambling to evacuate some of them but it appears so far the space to get people out is limited. we spoke to one american family trapped in a city over 200 miles from wuhan. the stockstills from rhode island were visiting family for the new year to introduce baby maxwell to his grandparents when the infection broke out. >> we're scared. there's a lot of guilt involved for putting him in this situation, traveling abroad at such a young age. there's a lot of guilt there. >> reporter: as you expected patrick and his wife are desperate to get their kids out but they're also afraid even if space opens up on one of those mercy missions, they won't be allowed to travel on the roads to get to the airport. dan? >> and ian, a particularly worrisome development, chinese
7:05 am
officials are saying this virus and infection even in its incubation period before symptoms show. >> reporter: that's right. that's likely to worry many. remember, the deadly sars and ebola that killed hundreds in asia and africa, those people only deemed contagious when symptoms appeared. scientists, the chinese are saying, this still needs to verify, scientists in china are saying people could be infected without any symptoms. of course, that could make it much harder to detect and control. dan? >> very problematic if true. ian, thank you very much. whit. dan, turning now to the impeachment trial, president trump's lawyers calling yesterday's session in the senate a sneak preview of his defense, accusing democrats of trying to undo the 2016 election. we're also hearing more from that tape first reported by abc news said to be of president trump and an indicted associate of rudy giuliani. abc's david wright is at the white house with more. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit.
7:06 am
that tape emerged on the very day that the president's lawyers launched their defense in the senate trial, the timing probably no accident. it would seem to corroborate the democrats' claim that the president had firsthand knowledge at least of some of the business being conducted in ukraine by rudy giuliani and his associates. >> mr. president, thank you for being here. [ applause ] >> reporter: sources say this recording is from a private dinner at the trump international hotel in washington back in april of 2018. on the tape, president trump and indicted giuliani associate lev parnas appear to discuss ukraine in detail. >> how long would they last in a fight with russia? >> i don't think very long -- without us, not very long. >> without us. >> reporter: even though trump has repeatedly claimed he doesn't know parnas who he describes as a con man.
7:07 am
>> i don't know him other than he's is sort of like a groupie, he shows up at fund-raisers. >> reporter: the dinner doesn't just include donald trump but other members of his inner circle including don jr. the video made public the same day donald trump's legal team began presenting the defense of the president in his senate impeacent trial. >> they're asking you to tear up all of the ballots across this country on your own initiative. >> reporter: the president's legal team sought to discredit the democrats accusing them of subverting electoral politics. >> the american people decide elections. they have one coming up in nine months. >> reporter: they insisted the president did absolutely nothing wrong despite three days of arguments to the contrary by house impeachment managers. >> we believe that when you hear
7:08 am
the facts -- and that's what we intend to cover today, the intend to cover today, the facts -- you'll find that the president did absolutely nothing wrong. >> reporter: and they accused the democrats, especially congressman adam schiff, of twisting the facts to make president trump's phone call with the ukrainian president seem sinister. >> i want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? lots of it. >> that's fake. that's not the real call. >> reporter: sources close to the president's legal defense say that this brief two-hour saturday session was just a preview of the case that they'll make in greater detail starting tomorrow. as for that tape, the white house has not challenged its authenticity but they say the president has a right to surround himself with supporters. also they note that nothing they discussed on that tape in and of itself is illegal. now to the presidential race, most democratic candidates bolting from the impeachment to iowa for a shortened week of
7:09 am
campaigning one week before the iowa caucuses. this morning we have a brand new abc news/"washington post" poll suggesting joe biden remains ahead, bernie sanders rising and elizabeth warren dropping significantly from our last poll in november among registered voters. abc's rachel scott is in des moines with more. good morning to you, rachel. >> reporter: eva, good morning. that's right, former vice president joe biden and senator bernie sanders at the top of the pack but when it comes to the issue of electability, who voters say has the best chances of beating president trump, biden leads by a wide margin. this morning, joe biden out front, bolstered by voters who believe he has the best shot of defeating president trump. >> when i look at donald trump, what he stands for, how he behaves, what he's done, my response is always the same -- we're so much better than donald trump. so much better. >> reporter: the former vp holding a steady lead in our latest abc news/"washington
7:10 am
post" poll. senator bernie sanders on the rise, trailing close by. >> senator sanders, are you excited about getting to iowa? >> reporter: the vermont senator sprinting from the impeachment trial back out to the campaign trial. sanders is building momentum particularly here in iowa, eight days out from the first vote making his own electability argument. >> if we're successful at getting young people in big ways involved in the political process, working people who have given up on the political process to vote, we will not only defeat trump, we'll defeat trump badly. >> reporter: the rest of the pack further behind. senator elizabeth warren dropping ten point in our poll but picking up on endorsement from the des moines register, dancing with excitement as she heard the news. >> i just heard it and i'm delighted. it really means a lot to me. >> reporter: but the four senators in the race will be pulled back to washington tomorrow for the impeachment trial. >> i would be here every day if i could. >> reporter: their rivals capitalizing on their absence during the final stretch ahead of the iowa caucuses.
7:11 am
>> we defied a rot of expectations to come to this point. i think it's part of what will carry us to success. >> reporter: this race is still fluid. there's still room foremovement. 53% of democratic-leaning voters polled said they would considering supporting a different candidate. dan? >> rachel scott right there in iowa, thank you, rachel. so much to talk about. let's bring in our chief anchor george stephanopoulos who's going to be hosting "this week." >> never been called a ringer before. >> get used to it, george. great to see you. let's start with bernie sanders. he seems to be on the receiving end of a lot of momentum both nationally and in iowa. what's going on here? >> especially in iowa, and i think it's a few things. first, he's had the clearest message, consistent message. he's got experience as a candidate. he ran the last time around and that gave him a fundraising juggernaut. and he's got the hardest core of committed supporters. one of the things our poll shows, you're seeing the same
7:12 am
things in the iowa polls, is that a lot of his gain has come at the expense of elizabeth warren. he's held on to the true believers on the medicare for all plan. >> let's talk about joe biden, in our poll he's seem to be hanging tough nationally but he could be in for a choppy week because the republicans, the defenders of president trump in the senate trial are going to be talking about the bidens a lot during the impeachment trial. could that hurt him as we run up to iowa? >> i'm not sure it hurts him. if you look at the polls going back to late september/october when this story first broke and the impeachment hearings began, joe biden has improved. if you're a democratic primary voter and the president is attacking you as his chief opponent that gives them a lot of reason to think, the president is scared of joe biden, the most electable. that may end up helping him as much as it hurts him. >> speaking of senate trial, we have seen -- now we have video of this interaction apparently between the president and the lev parnas where the president is saying fire the ambassador to
7:13 am
the ukraine allegedly. do you think this has any impact on the trial going forward? >> it doesn't appear. the president has said he doesn't know lev parnas. there's a lot of evidence to the contrary right there. the democrats are hoping that new evidence like this, coming out just about every day, will fuel their argument for no witnesses and documents in the senate, and even though that issue isn't closed yet and you still have senators like mitt romney, susan collins of maine suggesting they're open to new witnesses, the positions do seem to be hardening over the course of the week. even chuck schumer, the democratic leader in the senate, said yesterday that the fight to get new witnesses is very, very tough. >> george stephanopoulos, thank you very much. great to see, you, our ringer on sunday morning. don't forget, george has a big show this morning, two exclusive interviews. house impeachment manager, congresswoman val demings and republican in the ongoing trial, senator james lankford.
7:14 am
that's all coming up. speaking of george, george tomorrow morning will be leading our live coverage of the senate impeachment trial when it resumes starting at 10:00 eastern right here on abc. >> i don't think that's right. 1:00 eastern. >> 1:00 eastern, as i said. and by the way, since we're promoting stuff here, we want to tell you that we're counting down to the launch of abc news live, breaking news context and analysis, digging deeper, it launches on monday night, february 3rd. george, thank you. whit, over to you. now to a dramatic rescue caught on camera. a hiker hanging from her fingertips falling into the arms of a paramedic air lifted to save her. >> got her. >> the terrifying moment as this woman clinging to roots and shrubs dangles from the side of a cliff in southern california. >> all right, we got a female victim here. >> reporter: chopper video capturing the dramatic scene playing out saturday. the woman hanging desperately in a race against time. her fellow hiker nearby directing first responders to

7:16 am
>> reporter: according to officials in a phone call, johnson raised the topic and reiterated the need for american anne sacoolas to be turned over to the uk saying he needed to secure justice for the teenager's family. 19-year-old harry dunn was killed last august in a head-on collision. the teen was riding his motorbike near an american air force base, when anne sacoolas, the wife of the u.s. diplomat, struck the teen when she was driving on the wrong side of the road. she was working with authorities but three weeks later fled the country. the uk charged the 42-year-old with causing death by dangerous driving and have sent a letter of extradition which the u.s. rejected, saying she had diplomatic immunity. >> how can she live with herself doing this? how can you just be like that, just get on a plane and go home? >> reporter: for months, dunn's family have recently pleaded with the u.s. >> i know the people were lovely, very nice, and they were desperately sad.
7:17 am
i offered to bring the person in question in and they weren't ready for it. >> reporter: sacoolas has apologized for what she calls a tragic mistake. her attorney issued a statement saying, anne is devastated by this tragic accident and would do anything she could to bring harry back. secretary of state mike pompeo will be here in the uk this wednesday on a diplomatic visit and his counterpart will be meeting with dunn's family before seeing pompeo. whit? >> julia macfarlane for us in london, thank you. we want turn now to the weather, rob marciano is in steamboat springs, colorado for us this morning. rob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. we're in position for the next storm to come through here. we had about an inch or two of snow every night this week. over 200 inches for the year. the next one will be coming in later on tonight. the storm that's on the east coast, that's beginning to move but. but they had tremendous rains in philadelphia, near delaware. you see the rains and the flooding along i-76. and now, we're starting to see
