>> reporter: that's right, george. abc news has heard from multiple sources that they expect house majority whip jim clyburn will endorse joe biden. george, you know that is a big get for the former vice president. >> most prominent democrat in the state. eva, thanks very much. robin? george, now overseas to president trump's trip to india. his first visit there since taking office, seeing the world's largest democracy meeting with the indian prime minister. cecilia vega is traveling with the president and has more details for us. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hi, robin. good morning. this is president trump's largest rally ever. beating rallies back home by tens of thousands of people. i have got to tell you i have never seen anything like this before. packed like a rock concert, people waiting in the blistering heat for hours. his arrival filled with the spectacle he so loves

including a photo op at the taj mahal. lining the roads as his motorcade passed, larger than life posters of him and the first lady. thousands packing the street, but none of that compared to the massive rally the indians delivered, giving president trump exactly what he loves most, and a massive crowd to go with it. president trump's trip to india starts right here. this is the largest cricket stadium in the world. 100,000 people all here to see donald trump. a make america great again rally india style. ♪ macho, macho man they even blasted "macho man" before the president took the stage, and when he did, a show of affection for india's prime minister. >> namaste, trump. >> namaste. namaste. america loves india. america respects india. >> reporter: president trump hoping to highlight america's partnership with one of the world's largest economies. he's also hoping to announce a

staples center, the site of so many of his career highlights. he won championships, where his jerseys hang in the rafters and today is the place where the public gets to say good-bye. billed as a celebration of life to honor kobe and his daughter gianna who died along with seven others who died in a helicopter crash about a month ago. 20,000 tickets were sold. an official program was not put out for the event. we do not know who is going to attend. you can expect some of his friends, some people from his life, his teammates to be here, but a question whether or not his wife vanessa who has put out statements on instagram since that helicopter crash, she has not made a public appearance. all eyes will be on that stage to see if she comes out to honor kobe and gianna, michael along with the 20,000 others. >> a lot of people will be there to pay their respects. thank you so much. you can watch the memorial on abc newslive starting at 12:30 p.m. eastern right here on abc. george? okay, michael. we'll get the latest on the harvey weinstein trial. we could get a verdict as early as this morning. the jury heads back into

deliberations after suggesting last week that they agree on some charges and deadlocked on others. erielle reshef is here in manhattan at the courthouse. good morning, erielle. >> reporter: good morning to you, george. harvey weinstein's fate still hangs in the balance as jurors enter their second week of deliberations in his high-profile case. he faces five felony counts stemming from the allegations of two women from this case. but on friday, that shocking turn from the jury asking the judge if they could be deadlocked on the two most serious charges, but unanimous on the other three. those two most serious charges, count one and three, sexual assault require that all 12 jurors believe at least one of the two accusers in this case and the bombshell testimony of actress annabella sciorra, but her case is beyond the statute of limitations. the judge ordering the jury to go back to deliberations to reach a consensus. we expect that could happen sometime today. harvey weinstein has pleaded not guilty. he maintains all the encounters

have been consensual, but those most serious charges, george, could put him behind bars for life. >> thanks very much. >> let's bring in dan abrams for more on this. how do you read this back and forth between the judge and jury on friday? >> let's be clear. there are three basic accusers here. there are the two primary ones and those are what the three charges that it seems they reached agreement are about. you would think what this means is the jury has reached a verdict with regard to those two. why? because those are the less serious charges here. in order to get one of the more serious charges, the ones where they seem to be hung up, you would need one of the two primary accusers, plus the third woman, annabella sciorra. so for any of the more serious charges, you need to believe two. so you would think, okay, so they probably agreed on the lesser ones and they're hung up on whether they can convict on the most serious charge. i'm not so convinced that's what happened here. i think based on what we have seen from the jurors, from the notes. >> those notes? >> yes. the notes they've sent back in

terms of what they're looking to hear again, they may be trying to look for a way to still convict, that maybe they did acquit because the most compelling witness here was annabella sciorra, and yet she's not the one they're allowed to convict on just by herself. >> she's the backup for the most serious charge. >> exactly. maybe they're looking for a way to figure out somehow to get a conviction even though they have acquitted. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. robin? now to that unexpected moment on the ice. a 42-year-old zamboni driver david ayres is getting to live out his nhl dream called into a professional game as the emergency goalie and getting credited with the win. he spoke to "gma" overnight. will reeve here with more on all that. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, robin. saturday was the 40-year anniversary of the u.s. beating the soviet union in the miracle on size. so how fitting that another miracle happened on saturday? this one, david ayres, the emergency backup goalie not even on the team coming into an nhl

game and making history. >> goaltender's down. >> reporter: in the heat of the battle for a spot in the nhl playoffs, on saturday the carolina hurricanes were faced with a rare emergency. >> oh, collision here. >> reporter: both their starting and backup goalies got injured against the toronto maple leafs leaving them with one option, and, no, not a player on the bench, but 42-year-old david ayres, the emergency goalie who drives the zamboni for the maple leafs' minor league affiliate. >> i was in the stands, and one goalie goes down. the other goalie goes down, and that guy comes into the room and he says, put your gear on. put the rest of your gear on. time to go out there. >> reporter: still in shock, ayres gears up and makes his nhl debut. not many people including apparently the hurricanes coach had high expectations. after a rough start, giving up two quick goals, ayres closed out the game with the performance of a lifetime.

>> i went in after the second period and talked to the guys and they said, just enjoy it. go out there and make some saves. you're good. >> reporter: saving 8 of the 10 shots he faced from toronto's high-powered offense. his new teammates showering him in celebration. ayres set a record as the oldest goalie in league history to win his nhl debut. the story doesn't stop there. ayres is also a kidney transplant survivor. the hurricanes tweeting they are now working with the overnight sensation in search of a kidney foundation to donate proceeds from the sale of t-shirts bearing his name, but for the zamboni driver, saturday was his own miracle on ice. >> they showered me with the water and all that stuff in the changing room. they were jumping around. they were super pumped up. >> the emergency contract that ayres signed to play in the game was for a grand total of $0. it was basically a tryout contract he had to sign to get on the ice. hurricanes players though reportedly chipped in to help him out and to congratulate him and he's going to be part of the hurricanes' pregame ceremony tomorrow night.

>> it's like a movie. >> he didn't just stand there. he had a lot of saves. >> 8 out of 10. 80% against a team like that, pretty good. >> the first two went in really quickly. the coach said, oh, no, then he shut it down. like i said, just like a movie. congratulations to him. >> thank you, will. we are following a lot of other stories this morning, including the latest on those missing idaho siblings. take a look at this. it is the last known image of j.j. vallow. we'll tell you what police now believe as their mother right there wakes up behind bars in hawaii. and what nascar driver ryan newman is saying this morning. we'll get to that. first, ginger back from her trip. >> back from africa, and i'm happy to bring you one of the biggest snowstorms chicago has seen all season eventually, but renton, washington, showing you the critically injured injured man from the wind gusts there. i'll explain this. your local weather in 30 seconds. first, the select cities sponsored by geico.

[ applause ] this is my mason, the morkie, and again, american heart association, we have talked about it before. they're doing a pet initiative because people who have pets, not just dogs like mason, but people with pets, more likely to be active. it lowers their stress, and for me, you know, not to paint myself as an isolated person, but this is my friend group.

>> because you're an empty nester now. >> i am an empty nester. so, again, i think the point here is that you can have all of these things. the key is dealing with them. so, again f. we want to take the first one, poor sleep, you know, we're working on this show, you have to prioritize your sleep and address the sleep environment. keep it cold, dark and quiet. when you talk about stress, really important, i love meditation. i know you're a big fan of meditation. also exercise lowers stress, and learn to say no. we're just in the habit of yes, yes, yes, all the time, and social connectivity. work out with a buddy. set a coffee date, get a pet and this one is taken. >> yeah. when you say about we say yes too often. i say this, no is a complete sentence. no is a complete sentence. >> i love that. [ applause ] >> thank you, guys. we're going to turn to a fascinating story about a young woman who went from living in a sorority to tracking down the world's most dangerous terrorists.

it's in the new memoir "the unexpected spy" and abbie boudreau sat down to talk with her about it. >> reporter: from sorority city to cia spy, for tracy, it's simply her life. >> and this is my house. >> oh, my gosh. your old sorority house. >> yes. >> back when you got involved with the cia, there wasn't "alias." >> no. >> there wasn't "homeland." >> no. >> when you joined the cia, what did you want to do? >> we wanted to catch terrorists. >> reporter: and post-9/11 that's exactly what she did. >> a lot of times in the war zone i was in, i had to travel in trunks of cars simply because it wasn't conducive for a female to be in the car. the work is extremely demanding. >> reporter: a history major at university of southern california, tracy wanted to be a teacher, but a job fair on campus changed everything. >> there was a table that said, cia, and that they were looking for english and history majors. so i dropped my resume off, and they called. >> and the rest is history. >> yes. >> reporter: in her new

book "the unexpected spy," she reveals her secret life undercover, disrupting terror plots at the mere age of 21, though she didn't quite fit the part of a spy. >> i fit the stereotype of what a lot of people thought a sorority girl should look like. people didn't take me seriously. they had called me malibu barbie. >> malibu barbie? >> yes, when i first walked in there, and they wouldn't really talk to me. they would only talk with my male colleague, and he was wonderful and was, like, she's the one with the information. you're going to need to talk to her because it's not going to be me. >> reporter: tracy says working together government intelligence was an unexpected career path. for a once shy and bullied child. as someone who's bullied, do you try to stay in the background? >> yes. >> as a spy, was that easy for you? >> very easy. blend in. >> reporter: though standing out, and unapologetically standing up for herself is what she ultimately learned.

>> you're in war zones. you're still doing your hair. you're even applying lipstick. >> yes. even when i was at the fbi and i was armed, i always wore high heels. i guess i've reached a point that if people have a problem with it, i just don't care anymore because it's part of who i am, and i doesn't debase my intelligence or my ability to be able to do things. >> tracy is now a history teacher at an all-girls high school where many of her students went on to work at the fbi, the state department and cia, and we're going to be hearing a lot more about tracy. her story is now in development to become a tv series here at abc. george, "the unexpected spy" is out tomorrow. >> what a great story. thanks very much. tyra banks is here live next.

[ cheers and applause ] we are back with the mayor of chicago for two terms, rahm emanuel. he has a new book, "the nation city: why mayors are now running the world." welcome back to "gma." tell us why mayors are running the world. >> well, because, first of all, washington, brussels, london are not really doing their job

and all the weaknesses of those cities -- nations match up with the strengths of cities. cities are immediate, and impactful. >> you say washington is falling apart. >> is there something in the news that you have seen recently that doesn't say that? take a look at education. chicago added four years of educational time. full-day kindergarten, full-day pre-k for every child. you get a b average in high school, community college is free. five other cities are now doing that. six other states. nobody has been called to washington to testify. the secretary of education hasn't asked anything, and it's probably one of the most significant changes in education, free community college, and nobody is interested. >> you talk about cities and mayors are learning from each other. >> yeah. ideas that used -- think of, like, the new deal. workers' comp, and other policies. they would start locally and then move up. today rather than vertical, the ideas move horizontally. an example in the city of chicago, the city of vancouver,

small light bulbs. we replicated that idea. we started the first free community college. 8,000 kids did it. boston is doing it, denver is doing it. san francisco is doing it. oakland is doing it. it's just now moving around, and nobody has either testified or been called to -- how's it working? in the city of chicago, 81% of the kids that use it, free community college, first ones in the family to go to college. their retention rate and completion rate are double or triple the national average. so why is it that nobody is talking about it? >> we talk a lot about policy, but it's the inspiration you drew from your family. >> my kids said, whatever you do, don't talk about grandpa because you will start to get choked up. so my grandfather came to chicago, came to america from eastern europe. 13 years old, put on a boat and his mother -- never saw her again or saw his family again. he makes his way through chicago, meat cutter, steel worker, truck driver mainly, and we used to go sunday nights to

the family to his house in albany. when he left the west side and makes it to albany park, he thought he had made it. i used to joke in the family, my uncle was a cop in albany park. my dad was a pediatrician in albany park. i was a congressman representing albany park. i said we traveled many miles, but didn't go very far in life. >> did your grandfather ever imagine you would be the mayor of the city of chicago? >> he could if he could say, you're a schmuck. that tells you about the strength of this country that within a generation and my dad's an immigrant from israel. within a generation, the city that welcomed him and gave him all the hustle and bustle, his grandson that he used to say would amount to nothing, and he may be right still, would become the mayor of the city of chicago let alone the chief of staff to the president of the united states. >> congratulations.

>> announcer: thi >> announcer: this is an abc news special report. hello, i'm paula faris in new york. we are interrupting regular programming with breaking news. there has been a verdict in the harvey weinstein rape trial. he has been found guilty on two counts of criminal sexual assault and guilty on rape in the third degree. he's been found not guilty on two of the most serious charges which predatory sexual assault and not guilty on rape in the first degree. i want to go right to erielle reshef who has been covering the case outside the courthouse for us right now. erielle, where was this one for the prosecution? >> reporter: paula, if you could repeat your question. there is a lot of noise. >> i can imagine. where was this one for the prosecution, erielle?

>> reporter: well, it's a mixed bag here, paul l.a. for the prosecution, for harvey weinstein, they were hoping to really portray him as a predatorial sex offender and here he's actually been acquitted on two of the most serious charges, predatory sexual assault, the first count and the third count in this case but he has been convicted on that second charge of predatory -- of sexual act which was predicated on the account of miriam who testified that weinstein assaulted her in her manhattan hotel room and now we are hearing that for the defense, this is quite a mixed bag as well, paula. >> we're still waiting to hear harvey weinstein's reaction in the courthouse. stand by, erielle. i want to go right to julie rendleman, a former prosecutor. this in no doubt is a huge victory for the prosecution. harvey weinstein could face up to 25 years in prison. >> he could actually face more

and the reason is because the judge can actually take both of those cases, the rape in the third degree and the criminal sexual act in the first degree and give him consecutive sentences if he chooses to so i think it's an incredible, incredible victory for the prosecution. >> but still those two serious charges, the most serious charges, predatory sex assault. he faced two of those not guilty. that is a victory in and of itself for his team in some sense. >> it is. but, you know, this was an incredibly, incredibly difficult case from the start for any of these counts and the fact the jury was able to get below some of the areas that were confusing for them and find him guilty on both of mimi -- and the other is amazing. >> because many who heard annabella sciorra's testimony said she seemed credible with her testimony. let's bring in dan abrams. dan, first and foremost, i just

want to get your reaction to the verdict. >> i'm here, i'm in the office. >> dan, can you hear me? paula faris here. i just want to get your reaction to the verdict. okay. we're going to head back to dan. a lot of moving parts here. what i want you to do, peel back the layers for us because this -- this was a very confusing case. five counts. one named accuser, another unnamed accuser and then there were four women brought in the fold to give the testimony. the most important thing to take from this is what? >> you know, if we want to break it down, the top counts were predatory sexual assault. we know that obviously there was mimi who made an accusation regarding harvey weinstein. we know there was an unnamed accuser also who also testified. both of them continued to have a relationship with harvey weinstein afterwards and so the prosecution felt and we all felt that it was going to be an incredible uphill battle in

terms of trying to get a jury to understand that rape victims do not all come in the same, shape and sizes and this really is a testament to the me too movement. we are viewing things differently than we did before and interesting how this impacts l.a. as well. >> this started the me too movement. accusations first started coming out against harvey weinstein in 2017. let's go back to erielle at the white house and, erielle, what do you make of the jury, of course, threw this curveball to the judge asking it they could basically be hung on two of the more serious charges and they had a unanimous decision. what do you make about their decision today based on where they were friday and how far they've come? we know they deliberated for five days and listened to dozens and dozens of witnesses so what do you make about the change that they had today? >> reporter: well this, was an 18-hour deliberation, paula. it threw everybody for a -- into a tailspin on friday when the jury came back with that ominous

note saying that they may be deadlocked on the two most serious charges and that has appeared to come to fruition. it was perhaps some kind of foreshadowing in that situation and as i mentioned before this is definitely a mixed bag for the defense, what we're finding out from inside the courtroom just after this was happening was that this is a somber environment, that both the defense and the prosecution kind of sat there silently as swarms of police came into the courtroom and surrounded the area. you can imagine with this high-profile of a trial, this is something that is of high importance and everyone waiting to see him and they will react to this but initially swarmed by police inside of the courtroom, paula. >> all right, erielle, thank you. again, just joining us, harvey weinstein has been found guilty on criminal sex assault, rape in the third degree but not guilty of two of the more serious charges which were predatory sexual assault and then rape in the first degree. want to bring back in dan abrams. dan, just your reaction. as erielle just said, kind of a

mixed bag and we're hearing that the mood in the room is somber. neither side really got what they wanted so what do you make of it. >> i think this is a win for prosecutors. as you were -- as julie was saying a moment ago, this was a difficult legal case. i think some of us watching this from the outside are looking at all the magazine covers where we see, you know, dozens of women who were making these accusations and saying to yourself how could it not be that harvey weinstein would be convicted? the problem is this was a case about two people, just two people with limited amounts of evidence that these jurors were going to hear. not about the dozens of women and so these jurors are to focus on these two cases in particular and both of them had issues and so the fact that the prosecutors were able to get a conviction here, two convictions i think has to be seen as a win for these prosecutors. no, they didn't get the most serious charge, which would have put him away for longer but,

yes, they got a conviction and yes, he's also facing charges in los angeles still as well. >> you bring up a good point. many of the other claims were outside the bounds of the statute of limitations. any idea if he will be out on bond or taken into custody immediately. >> i wouldn't think he would be taken into custody immediately. you know, that might be something julie could address better than me. i don't expect that would happen right now. i think there would probably be a hearing on that before that was decided and in particular because he was not convicted of the more serious count. >> before i throw it over to julie, dan, what you just mentioned, the case, the trial that he's facing in los angeles, what can you tell us about that? >> well, look, i think that sort of changed the entire dynamic here which is everything rested on this new york case before. everything with regard to harvey weinstein seemed to be make or break as to what happens in this new york case and then as this case was starting, harvey weinstein was indicted in los angeles. and so suddenly that means that

if harvey weinstein does go to prison here which i expect he will, he would then serve that time and then face a trial in los angeles. so this is not the end of it and i think that when people are looking at the macro picture of this, the broader sort of what happens to harvey weinstein now, was there justice? the los angeles case becomes just another piece here which says it's not all about how much time he gets or doesn't get in new york, it's not all about was he convicted of the most serious charge or some of the lesser charges, it means he's been convicted here and he's facing additional counts in los angeles. >> all right, dan, thank you. julie, just getting some color about what happened in the courtroom. cameras weren't allowed but reading that the mood was somber. nobody got what they wanted. weinstein with his back to the gallery quietly conferring with subdued defense attorneys. what is next for him? will he be taken into custody immediately. >> i don't have the answer. my answer, yes, he will.

i'm not always right. but most defendants once convicted especially of violent crimes such as this where they're facing a maximum of 25 years which is in this case, will be put in remand because he has the biggest motive to not come back. he's been convicted by a jury of his peers. once that happens there's going to be victims that are going to want to speak, they're going to give notice that it will allow them to speak at the sentencing and at that the judge will hear from them and hear from the defense, he may hear from the defendant, i don't think so and he will make a decision as to what the appropriate sentence is for harvey weinstein in this new york case. >> but he's looking at life in prison. >> he is not. he is looking at 25 years on the criminal sexual abuse act and he's looking at up to four years on the rape in the third degree. he can get consecutive which means he could get 29 years but he could go lower. i think the judge is going to have a lot of decisions to make

in terms of weighing all the witnesses that testified and balancing the fact that harvey weinstein had never been arrested before, but these accusations go back a long way. >> harvey weinstein is 67 years old but looking like he may not get out until he's in his 90s, julie, thank you for your analysis. thanks to dan and erielle reshef outside the white house. again, just another recap, harvey weinstein found guilty on two counts, not guilty of three counts including the most serious charges predatory sexual assault which carried up to 25 years, possible life in prison, a reminder we'll have much more on abc newslive and full wrap up on "world news tonight." we'll now go back to your regularly scheduled programming. >> announcer: this has been a [cheers and applause] and now, here are kelly ripa and ryan seacrest!
