7 candidates on the stage. we're getting ready. the candidates are getting ready. can't wait for it to start. >> well, we'll see you soon. >> big debate tonight. much more with george in a moment. first breaking developments in the coronavirus outbreak. we know at least 11 americans are battling the disease infected on that diamond princess cruise ship docked in japan. >> and take a look. that royal caribbean cruise ship in new jersey is also being held right now as 12 passengers get screened for the virus. this as cases spike around the globe, and the world health organization warns the virus hasn't peaked yet. will carr starts us off from travis air force base with the very latest. good morning, will. >> reporter: and, michael, another group of americans evacuated from the hot zone in china landed at the air force base behind me. the cdc says they will be tested every step of the way, but this morning we're seeing that in confined spaces like cruise ships, the coronavirus is spreading quickly. this morning, 11 americans quarantined on the diamond princess cruise in japan have tested positive for the novel

coronavirus. rebecca frazier, an oregon resident, is just 1 of the 41 new cases of coronavirus discovered on this cruise ship. more than 60 passengers have now been infected. rebecca's husband says she'll be in the hospital for 10 to 12 days. now, kent tells us his temperature is jumping and he's worried he may be infected as well with the conditions worsening on board. roger and kathy maniscalco are trapped in their rooms. >> a little scary to be on board. the numbers just keep climbing. >> reporter: the situation so bad, one passenger writes on social media that they can hear painful coughs from a passenger in a nearby room. and now the chinese doctor who sounded the alarm on novel coronavirus has died from the disease he was so concerned about. early on dr. li wenliang warned his colleagues that the symptoms he was seeing in several patients were similar to sars. shortly after, local authorities

tried to silence him, some even calling his warnings fake news. while dr. li was only 34, the new report shows that the median age of coronavirus patients appears to be between 49 and 56 and that cases in children have been rare. there are also new reports that the chinese government is doubling down on its efforts to contain the virus including house-to-house searches in wuhan now essentially a ghost town, reportedly rounding up those infected and placing them in makeshift quarantine centers. meanwhile as hundreds of americans including these two planes this morning have evacuated from wuhan to military bases here in the united states, at least nine of the evacuees including frank and his daughter annabel have been taken to the hospital after exhibiting symptoms. >> we're in this hospital probably for the next three days until the cdc comes back. >> reporter: this morning the first possible cases of coronavirus on board a ship docking in the united states,

this royal caribbean ship arriving in bayonne, new jersey with 12 chinese nationals on board. they have been isolated after experiencing breathing problems and other pulmonary issues. the cdc is now rushing to that ship in new jersey to test all the passengers showing symptoms. as for the americans coming back from china, by the end of the day there will be around a thousand quarantined on military bases across the country. cecilia. >> okay, will carr, thank you. we are now joined by karey and roger maniscalco of utah. they are on that diamond princess cruise ship that will was just telling us about. thank you, both, so much for joining us. we cannot even begin to imagine what you have been going through. this was supposed to be a two-week cruise. you're going to be on this ship for a month. what are the conditions like? >> they're somber. it's pretty quiet on the ship just because, you know, i think everybody is still initially in shock. it's been -- today is day three,

and so it's still pretty quiet, you know. everybody's still in their rooms. so -- >> it's been tough with the news of another 41 passengers being sick. it just kind of quieted down even more. so, you know, it's been tough. >> are you talking to us right now from your room on the cruise ship? >> yes. >> that's correct. >> how are you both feeling at this point? >> absolutely fine. >> yeah, we're perfectly healthy. they gave us thermometers for each of us to take our temperatures throughout the day and if they go above 37.5 degrees celsius you're to report. >> and will are you doing -- it's self-testing that you are doing or are you being checked regularly by doctors on the ship? >> it's self-checking. >> how much contact are you having with anybody else on that ship? >> none. >> none. >> just you guys in the room alone? >> yes. >> that's it. >> can you leave the room at all? >> we've been here for about four days. >> we are not allowed to.

>> there were reports some people are allowed to at least go outside and get some fresh air. when was the last time you had fresh air? >> well, we have a balcony, so we can open up our balcony and get fresh air, but they just barely started late last night letting some of the interior cabins go in small groups of two. i think it's up to the top deck to get some air, and they have specific rules. they have to wear masks. masks and gloves, and stay within a meter apart of each other. >> they're being watched as well to make sure they follow those rules so that they can just continue to do so and it's anybody who has a stateroom that does not have a window in it whatsoever, which would make sense to us even so let them go out and get some fresh air for about an hour and a half, two hours, and then they go on to the next state rooms from there. >> you'll be in this room you're in for the next two weeks. how big is it? >> i looked it up and it's 211

square feet total with the bathroom and everything. >> are you going stir crazy yet? >> absolutely. yeah. we're going -- >> you don't realize how much you miss that freedom of just being able to open the door and walk around. ultimately, you know, we are safe. we're in our cabin. we're not congregating with any other passengers. we've always worn our masks when on any of the excursions and so forth so they're keeping us safe. >> we thank you both for joining us this morning, and we hope you both stay safe and healthy. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> i have to say i can't even imagine 200 square feet, two weeks trapped in that room. they can't talk to anybody else and, boy, they are in remarkably good spirits. >> two weeks they have to be in the room. yes. >> you love your husband but -- >> love you babe, not happening. we're going to turn to politics and the race for the white house. the top seven democratic candidates are about to face off on our debate stage. let's get back to george in manchester, new hampshire.

george, it's still early in the race but this debate comes at a critical time. >> boy, it sure does. after that unsettled result in iowa, they may not even declare a winner before the new hampshire primary on tuesday, and this is the last debate before that primary, just four days away right now, and so this debate could have a huge impact on what happens here in new hampshire. up on the stage tonight joe biden is going to be front and center. he's going to have bernie sanders and pete buttigieg to his right. elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar and tom steyer to his left. and mary bruce is right up there by the podiums right now. >> reporter: good morning, george. well this could be the fiercest clash of the campaign season yet. tonight on this stage the candidates facing off for the first time since those chaotic caucuses in iowa and with those results still in dispute, what happens here in new hampshire is now more critical than ever. in new hampshire, this morning, the race for 2020 moving at full speed. >> hello, derry. >> thank you, concord. >> new hampshire is not the kind of place to let iowa or anybody else tell you what to do. >> reporter: the candidates

preparing to face off on the debate stage tonight, all eyes on bernie sanders and pete buttigieg. both of them now claiming victory in iowa. >> when you run and you get more votes than your opponent, in this case 6,000 more, you're usually considered the winner. i got 6,000 more votes than mr. buttigieg. >> it has been an extraordinary week, and we are absolutely electrified by the energy that we are coming here with. >> reporter: the state party now reporting 100% of the results but those results are still in dispute. the head of the national democratic party is calling for a total review of every bit of paper trail in iowa. after admitting he took a gut punch in the caucuses, the pressure is on for joe biden. >> i'm not going anywhere. and i'm counting on new hampshire. we're going to come back. >> reporter: out of sight thursday the former vice president spent the day at home off the campaign trail preparing for the debate. tonight he'll be front and center and he's already been sharpening his attacks against rivals like sanders. >> he calls himself a democratic

socialist. well, we're already seeing what donald trump is going to do with that. >> reporter: massachusetts senator elizabeth warren is looking for a much needed win in new hampshire. tonight a chance to flex her near home state advantage. >> this is a moment when people are off the sidelines and people are ready to get in this fight. >> reporter: for andrew yang, tom steyer and amy klobuchar this could be one of their last chances to break through. >> this is a state that has a big tradition of basically giving candidates a chance they think can win in the election. >> reporter: now, sanders and buttigieg will be the night's top targets and here on the stage, george, they are standing right next to each other and right there in the middle will be joe biden. after his distant fourth place finish in iowa he needs a strong showing here tonight. we do expect him to be more aggressive, but, george, the stakes for him are tremendous. >> okay, mary, thanks very much. let's talk about it with our chief political analyst matthew dowd and mary was getting at it,

new hampshire has a history of kind of scrambling the results. a lot of changes in the final couple of days which makes this debate so important. >> this debate becomes even more important than the unresolved results in iowa at this point because it's going to settle where this race fundamentally goes. i think this race right now is heading towards a two-person race, a different two-person race than we thought a week ago which we thought joe biden and bernie sanders and now it's becoming much more of a two-person race between bernie sanders and pete buttigieg and that's, i think, what the other candidates have to figure out how to crack. >> yeah, they've got to get some momentum going. in these final four days. meantime, mike bloomberg hanging out, spending a ton of money on super tuesday states and this morning announcing the endorsement of donald trump's former navy secretary. >> yeah, i think as we say a two-person race of the field that's moving forward in these states but a two-person race to face michael bloomberg in the huge contest coming up on super tuesday. i think we are at the point joe

biden is on -- the most pressure is on joe biden. i remember a scene from "rocky 2" when adrian leans in to rocky and says, win. joe biden can't just do well. he has to win tonight. >> thanks very much. we'll start at 8:00 eastern for the democratic debates right here on abc. tom, back to you. >> george, we will check with you later in the broadcast. now to the latest on president trump and reaction this morning to his victory lap celebrating his acquittal in the senate impeachment trial, coming before the cameras unleashing on his opponents with personal insults and even some profanity. our chief white house correspondent jon karl has more. jon, i want to play a portion of that speech now. >> we've been going through this now for over three years. it was evil. it was corrupt. it was dirty cops. it was leakers and liars, and this should never, ever happen to another president, ever. >> on the payback tour officially under way. >> reporter: he is declaring victory, tom, but he is not

moving on. he wants retribution and payback. sources close to the president say here at the white house he wants a housecleaning as one source put it. he wants the haters gone. we expect that to begin with lieutenant colonel vindman who, of course, testified in the impeachment trial. we are told to expect that he will be moving on out of the white house. he is still assigned to the national security council. we are told the president wants him out of here. >> all right, jon, thank you for that. michael. >> thank you, tom. now to the deadly storm carving a dangerous path across the south bringing tornados, snow and flash flooding. now the severe weather is heading east as millions start their morning commute. ginger, of course, has the very latest. good morning to you, ginger. >> good morning to you, michael. i'm out here in times square because we have a high wind warning starting at noon today. the gusts here could get up to 60-plus miles per hour. we've already seen a big-time wind in north carolina, south carolina. cranes were taken down in tampa overnight and so we are concerned about this storm that has already killed at least

three people. >> reporter: deadly storms blasting through the southeast. at least 23 reported tornadoes. one crushing this mobile home in tampa bay with a woman inside. she survived. damaging winds up to 70 miles per hour, powerful enough to fling a road sign onto this car in raleigh, north carolina. watch as the driver in atlanta has to navigate as a tree falls on the highway. at least a half foot of rain in the southern appalachians forcing water rescues in raven, virginia. their town cut off. all roads inundated. in richmond, virginia, a state of emergency. 500 now displaced and dozens rescued. roads collapsing from kentucky to tennessee. this man battling a severe storm in spartanburg, south carolina, trying to keep that door shut at a furniture store. in tennessee a bus split in half by a falling tree, killing a woman on board and injuring four others. and two people were killed in alabama after a storm tore

through several homes. so you saw that. the trees into homes, into vehicles. that's how people get killed, and today it is that widespread wind that could take down trees. i want to show you the forecast here of gusts, look at that, new york city, 57. that will absolutely impact flights late this morning into early afternoon and then going up the coast, boston to 50. nantucket could get close to 70-mile-per-hour gusts in some places so just keep an eye on those winds as you go through today. things will start to clear out by tomorrow, michael. >> thank you, ginger. devastating images there. >> yeah, really. >> thank you so much, ginger, for that. also this morning, we are learning new details about the public memorial service to honor kobe bryant, his daughter gianna and the seven other people killed in that helicopter crash 12 days ago. it will be held at staples center in los angeles on february the 24th, capping off a week of tributes across the city and the date is significant because bryant wore number 24 and his daughter, gianna, wore number 2. >> it's going to be really special. >> without a doubt. >> l.a. really needs it. they need something and the family needs it as well. >> yeah. we've got a lot of other

stories we're following this morning including that abc news exclusive with the reality tv doctor and his girlfriend accused of victimizing multiple women. now they're breaking their silence as the case is suddenly dropped. and the fired manager of the houston astros speaking out for first time about that cheating scandal. does he think the team's world series title is tainted? but first let's go back to ginger. >> michael, i know we're going out to the oscars. get used to the rain. we will see a little bit of that this weekend. i'll have more on that. first let's get to the weekend getaways sponsored by walmart.

so as michael strahan is working the red carpet, temperatures in the 50s and rain showers. you're going to have to be wearing a raincoat. who are you wearing, michael? >> oh man, i'm going to be wearing my own brand. i got to wear a raincoat on top? i'm going to ruin the look with a raincoat overtop. >> thanks, ginger. we have oscars fever and debate fever. we're going one-on-one with the nominees. we got politicians. >> we got it all. >> we got it all.

bravo reality show "online dating rituals of the american male" -- >> orthopedic surgeon will make a lot of girls' ears light up. >> reporter: -- was fired from his job and forced to leave his home in 2018 when a former d.a. accused them of drugging and sexually assaulting seven women, warning the public it could be upwards of a thousand victims. robicheaux says he and his girlfriend became pariahs. his medical license suspended. >> i feared every time i'd walk my dog that somebody was going to shoot or stab me, somebody was going to follow through with these threats on me or my family, you know. >> you were getting actual death threats. >> you couldn't stop it. >> reporter: the former d.a. calling robicheaux a predator. >> i think the thing that stuck out in my mind and hurt the most, i think it was unprecedented appetite for sex with unconscious women. i mean, i have sisters. i have a mom.

like, it's disgusting. >> reporter: the couple acknowledges their swinger lifestyle, but deny any allegations of nonconsensual sex. did you ever think what if one of those women was too inebriated to really give consent? >> it wasn't ever a question. >> never, never a question. >> these women aren't backing down, though, some of them. i mean, there's still a civil case. i spoke with two lawyers who represent women who claim that they were sexually assaulted by you both. what do you have to say to that? >> again, we've maintained our innocence from day one. >> we've never hurt anyone. >> as more women started to come forward, though, did you ever think in your own mind, did we cross the line at some point? >> never. >> absolutely not.

>> reporter: former d.a. tony rauckauckas says -- he suspects new evidence may have led to the dismissal, but he says he believes the accusers maintained they were assaulted. >> this is a huge disappointment for those victims. it's not easy for these ladies to come forward, and to bare their soul about such humiliating things and, you know, make their statement to the authorities and they have done that with the expectation that this case would be -- would be prosecuted. >> reporter: the couple says they're now hoping to move on from this chapter in their lives. >> the truth is, though, that this really isn't over for their lives. if the charges are dismissed as we all expect for them to be, they're not walking back into their same life. >> their life is done. that life as they know it and they had a successful life, professionally, and they had a very fulfilling life and they had relationships and friends and that's gone. >> reporter: now the couple will likely be pursuing legal action to rebuild their lives, but this

fight is far from over. i spoke with a lawyer who told me today in court he plans on delivering a victim impact statement on behalf of his client who is one of several women who maintains she was sexually assaulted by the pair. michael? >> all right, kayna, thank you so much for that. now we turn to new developments in that scandal rocking major league baseball. overnight the former manager of the houston astros spoke out for the first time since he was fired over sign stealing. paula faris is here with this story. good morning, paula. >> reporter: good morning, to you, michael. good morning, everyone. we've only seen one clip from this interview, but a.j. hinch says he hopes the astros' championship is not tainted all the while admitting they did this to themselves. overnight the former manager of the houston astros breaking his silence, in this clip posted on the mlb network's facebook page about the sign stealing scandal which has now tainted his team's

2017 world series victory in the eyes of some fans. >> based on what we know now, we know from the commissioner's investigation, is that championship tainted? >> i hope over time it's proven that it wasn't but i understand the question. we did it to ourselves and we're going to have to live and move forward and be better in the sport. >> reporter: in an interview airing later tonight on the mlb network, a.j. hinch is speaking out for the first time since he was fired by the astros after a league investigation found that he failed to intervene to prevent his coaches and players from using a series of loud bangs on a dugout garbage can to relay pitching signs stolen with the help of an outfield camera. as for whether those illegal signals deserve the credit for the team's championship, instead of what hinch calls some of the best players in the sport, he says, we may never know. >> it's a fair question and people are going to have to draw

their own conclusions. unfortunately, we opened that door as a group. >> reporter: the report concluded the players, quote, would have immediately stopped had hinch told them to stop cheating. now, alex cora who was believed to be the sign stealing mastermind within the astros organization as their bench coach, went on to manage the boston red sox in the world series in 2018, and did not disapprove of the plan. now, the league has been investigating allegations that the red sox stole signs and should have the findings ready very soon but, remember, in all of this, no players have been punished so because of that, pete rose who was banned from baseball, he wants back in. he's filed for reinstatement this week. >> at this point he has a good case. >> why not. go for it now. >> thank you paula. the oscars are just two days away. how "joker" could make history this sunday. stay with us. this sunday. stay with us.

sweep it over the neck, chest, arms, and about ten minutes it will tingle. wash it off then you apply a hydrating sheet mask with a jade roller. here you can go ahead and do that. it will stimulate circulation, lymphatic draining. >> like a spa at home. and the final pro tip. >> yes. >> down here. >> last but not least. you guys taking notes? >> dewy skin is in. add a couple of drops of a liquid highlighter into your foundation and you will glow all night long. >> nobody wants matte skin on a red carpet. you want to shine. >> you got to glow. >> this was all amazing. this was all amazing. >> not greasy but glowing. >> we're going out, girl. the night is coming. dr. bowe will answer all your questions about skin care live on facebook right after this. we're not done, guys. coming up, party tips. coming up. party tips. , party tips. party tips. arty tip. .

actually premake, put out, enjoy my guests and the show and keep it in your living room, keep it close to the tv. one great way -- >> keep it easy. nobody wants to clean up when you're wearing a fancy gown and having an oscars party. this is your first tip, which i love. you'll like this. >> this is fun. this is parchment paper. get it at any craft store. put it on your coffee table then put out cheeses and meats and breads. you can preset it. you guys can take nibble, watch the show. at the end of the day, roll it up, throw it in the garbage. >> instead of paper plates. >> you know, as hard as you work no one is going to give you an oscar at the end of your party. >> i have my eye -- i've been checking out the grilled cheese station that we got here. >> you and me both. >> this is also -- a good way to keep track of the categories. >> we put like best actress, best actor as you're watching the show whoever wins take a bite of this black truffle honey grilled cheese.

>> can't go wrong with that. >> doing it fancy. i found this mold online. make a regular grilled cheese sandwich. cut it out, serve it on oscar night and dip it in a black truffle honey, and this is a great way to celebrate the oscars. >> by the time the oscars are over you'll be full. >> exactly. >> moving down here, you have looks like a chip/dip/nacho situation. >> i like what i'm looking at. >> speaking your language. >> so, again, a fancy night. let's be fancy, put our chips out in bowls but toppings, guacamole, salsa, black bean, ranch and then we go even further, we have buffalo chicken shredded pork. >> hello. >> bacon. >> hello.

>> announcer: sponsored by starz. [ applause ] all right, welcome back. so when it comes to the oscars, there are two things everyone loves to see. we want to know which stars win and, of course, what they are wearing so this morning we're making fashion predictions. celebrity stylist melissa garcia did some really cool research to help us predict what the best actress -- not just the best actress winners. >> best actress, best supporting actress, what they'll be wearing. >> okay, i love this. you compiled some -- >> we did statistics, a lot of analytics. >> let's start with a couple of trends you do not think we'll see. >> i don't think that we're going to see a slit. not one of the best actress winners in the past decade had a slit and i also don't think we're going to see strapless so as you can see there's probably only four of the past 20 winners. yeah only 4 of the past 20 winners wore strapless. gorgeous there as you see jennifer lawrence, but based on

the stats you shouldn't be seeing it as a winner. >> i see strapless and a slit in that white dress. >> what's that? >> i saw strapless and a slit. >> but if we go to the stats only 4 of 20 the past decade -- >> statistically speaking. >> i never can say that. >> very technical. >> i will vote i bet we see zellweger in a strapless. i'm just saying? we might, off the shoulder. we'll see. >> let's talk embellishments. are we likely to see them with lots of zhuzh or do you think we'll see sort of clean. >> nine of the ten winners in the past decade had embellishments so i think we'll see some sort of embellishment but like a whimsical tulle. tons of whimsical tulle on the red carpet. >> i love whimsical tulle. you can see -- looks so beautiful. >> kirsten dunst. i think we'll see some of it. >> we have it right here. come on out. here are our beautiful models. >> gorgeous dresses from david's

bridal has a whimsical tulle. so fun and pretty. ethereal. also fairy talesque and added the rhinestone belt. it's the oscars so amps it up. perfect and fun. >> everybody, look for whimsical tulle. >> number one prediction. >> you said earlier the winning dress is unlikely to be strapless. but what do you think about sleeves? >> so, i'm glad you asked. so only four of the past 20 winners had sleeves so based on those stats you probably think i would say we're not going to see them, however, i think we are going to see them because as you can see here, the past four winners, three of them were one was last year and the one before were two years so in the past two years we saw three long sleeve dress winners like these were best actress and best supporting actress winners so -- and statement sleeves are a huge, huge trend we're seeing on the red carpet. lots of sleeps. lots of poof and statement sleeves so i think we'll see it. >> you have an example of what

we might see. >> i think we'll see something like this. this is a custom madeline gardner gown made just for this segment. it's gorgeous with that sort of fairy talesque feel and poof sleeve off the shoulder. another big trend that we're seeing. i mean how gorgeous. and the color, it's a really pale pink. i don't know if you can see it on camera but it's a dusty pale pink which is a hint-hint something we should be looking for. >> okay, so let's talk color. >> color, so i think we are going to be seeing tons of color. pale pink, pinks are on the red carpet tons this season. so pink is the color i think you should look for. >> okay. [ applause ] >> whimsical tulle, sleeves and pink and we have an example of something we might see. i love this look. >> this dress is from janet manziel, gorgeous, cool, it has all of the trends that we really talked about, pink, the whimsical tulle. i love this. >> is this the one that compiles all of them. >> it's actually not. we have one more. >> really quickly. >> you have done this whole

mathematic equation and come up with what you think is the dress. >> we think it's going to be a neutral color. we think it's going to not have a slit, it's going to have a statement sleeve and it's not going to have an embellishment but something like this. a best actress or best supporting actress would wear a gown like this. janet manziel/brandon maxwell gown, looks stunning. how gorgeous is this? >> dress envy. >> timeless, classic, beautiful. she needs to be holding an oscar. >> you sure do. wow. i love that we used math to come up with the -- >> very technical in our fashion segment. >> amazing, thank you as always. lady, you look beautiful. everybody, you know now what to look for at the oscars and what to wear to your oscar party and make sure you tune in to our oscar party monday morning, it's always great and we will be talking about all the winners, et cetera, et cetera, ginger, correct? where are you? >> i'm here with brian henry.

his shoes and put on a dress and pumps. >> well, a girl has to try. >> no. "joe and the volcano." a movie that when you see it makes you think, why didn't they throw that script in a volcano. >> hey. >> this is how much we love tom hanks. we still love him after "the volcano." >> you love me? >> yes. >> leo dicaprio is nominated. >> if you need 'em, you got 'em. >> i remember him as the kid from "growing pains" that you were like, that's going to be a hot adult. >> yum, yum. >> oh, boy. >> joe pesci, before he was an oscar-winning actor known for twisting necks. >> either way, he's going. >> he absolutely starred in a little film called "hey, let's twist" doing the twist. ♪ >> reporter: al pacino, you might remember him from the movie "jack and jill" where he

played adam sandler's twin sister's love interest. >> what was that? >> let me repeat that again. adam sandler dressed as a woman, his love interest. >> you don't understand? >> how does al pacino's agent bring that opportunity to him? they're going to give you a lot of money. >> jonathan pryce in twroep twoep played harod in "the day that christ died" starting off as trying to kill the baby jesus then ended up god's number one man on earth. who says people can't change?
