evidence of metal fatigue. when metal is weakened to such a point that cracks form. investigators say one fan blade broke off hitting a second blade. >> for the fan blade that was fractured midspan, damage with it is consistent with it being struck when the fan blade separated at the root, banged into it. >> reporter: the uk banning 777s with that specific pratt & whitney engine from flying into its airspace. most of those planes now grounded in the u.s. and japan. while the engine is an older model no longer used in newer planes, more than 100 777s 777s have them, requiring deeper inspections. >> in this case there was a question of when were those inspections done? were they done properly and why did this airplane have this crack that eventually led to a catastrophic engine failure? >> reporter: this weekend we saw a very similar incident in the netherlands with a 747 cargo plane. engine parts falling after a midair explosion. the debris injuring two people

on the ground. meanwhile, the engine's manufacturer pratt & whitney says this, that it is actively coordinating with operators and regulators to support the revised inspection interval of these engines that power those 777s. robin? >> all right, gio, thank you. now to the disaster in texas. those record low temperatures may be gone, but residents of the lone star state still dealing with the aftermath. vital supplies hard to come by. millions still without water. marcus moore is live in dallas with more for us. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: robin, good morning. things are improving here, but there are still millions of people under boil water notices across the state. this winter storm bursting pipes in homes and businesses. we've also seen a number of water main breaks here in the or aa an this has had a huge impact on the supply chain. longes

and also distribution sites. and then you compound that with sky rocketing energy bills that some people are experiences. some have received bills for thousands of dollars in the midst of this crisis. state leaders have said they'll address this issue, but it's unclear what they'll do about it. depending on what plan they have texas charge customers a variable price if the demand is low, that bill will be low but can skyrocket when demand is high. the governor called an emergency meeting over the weekend, issuing a moratorium on disconnections due to high bills. george? >> some small relief there. marcus, thanks. we turn to that major defeat for donald trump. the supreme court rejected the former president's years long quest to keep his tax and finance records from prosecutors who are investigating fraud and other crimes. chief washington correspondent jon karl has the latest. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is a big defeat for trump.

it was his last-ditch effort to keep prosecutors from getting his tax returns. now the manhattan d.a., cyrus vance, will have access to eight years of donald trump's tax returns and other personal records. and it's not just trump's personal returns. vance will also have access to the returns of his company, the various trump companies. it was a one-sentence unsigned order from the supreme court rejecting this and it had no dissents. so if donald trump was counting on the three justices that he nominated to the court to bail him out of this, he was sorely disappointed. trump responded with a lengthy written statement, george. it said in part that the investigation in new york is, quote, a continuation. the greatest witch-hunt in the history of our country and he said the supreme court should never have let this fishing expedition continue, but they did. >> meantime, jon, what do we know about what prosecutors will do next and the possible exposure for president trump? >> reporter: well, look, they're

investigating potential financial fraud here, prosecutors will get access, we believe, to those returns within days. but, george, one important point here is grand jury proceedings are secret so the public won't see these until or if charges are actually filed. >> jon, meantime, president biden's nominee for attorney general merrick garland had his first confirmation hearing yesterday and made it very clear his top priority is investigating that siege of the capitol. >> reporter: yeah, remember, oklahoma city was what garland investigated in 1995. it was really a defining investigation of his career as a prosecutor. he made it clear he will pursue the capitol siege, anybody involved and added, george, we will pursue these leads wherever they take us. he didn't specifically talk about investigating donald trump, but he certainly didn't rule it out. jon karl, thanks very much. michael? >> thank you, george. now to the wife of notorious mexican drug lord el chapo, emma coronel aispuro is accused of

helping her husband in that daring 2015 pris >> reporter: emma coronel the beauty queen wife of mexican drug lord el chapo, heads at his trial last year, waking up this morning in a federal detention center after being arrested on drug charges at a d.c. area airport monday. according to federal documents coronel is charged with conspiring with her husband to distribute drugs including cocaine and heroin and of conspiring with el chapo to spring him from a mexican super max prison. her husband had run the largest narco operation but since his arrest in 2016 coronel hasn't exactly lived under the radar amassing nearly 500,000 instagram followers and starring in an episode of the vh1 reality show, "cartel crew." [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: the 31-year-old

born in california and has dual mexican/u.s. citizenship and married el chapo when she was 17. she relayed messages and orchestrated the spectacular escape from the mexican prison in 2015. el chapo dipping into a hole in the shower floor that led to a nearly mile-long tunnel outfitted with a motorcycle on rails. then in 2016 he was finally taken in. mexican authorities showing us how he nearly escaped officers again using this elaborate escape tunnel. he was extradited to the u.s. in 2017 and despite trial testimony painting him as a monster, coronel insisted to "the new york times" that she still admired him. now, coronel has been under investigation for about two years since el chapo's trial revealed to how deeply emeshed

she was in his operations. these new federal documents say nothing about her involvement in the sinaloa cartel since el chapo's extradition to the u.s. in 2017. robin? >> all right, matt, thank you. now to the historic images beamed back from mars. for ft actually landing on the red planet. will reeve joins us with more images from the rover perseverance. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this video is extraordinary for what it shows and for what it represents, a new phase in a long journey. >> navigation has confirmed that the parachute has deployed. >> reporter: after traveling nearly 300 million miles from earth, it came down to a nail-biting seven-minute descent from chute deployed to landing. the rover entering at speeds over 1,000 miles per hour. once the heat shield drops five cameras and radar get the first glimpses of the surface. the red planet's massive craters visible below. >> we are currently performing the divert maneuver.

the velvet smoking jacket today. >> what is it, velvet? what is it, velvet? >> can we move on with the show? >> t.j., want some headlines right now? >> let's do it. remember president biden last night honoring the 500,000 lives lost in the pandemic with a moment of silence and words of consolation. he also urged americans to remain vigilant, to remain socially distant, keep masking up and get vaccinated when it's your turn. also right now the senate is amine the failures that led tog the breach. four law enforcement officers, three resigned will face lawmakers and merrick garland says the capitol riot investigation is his top priority. this frightening moment for a dog owner in tennessee. sid slipped and fell through the ice right into the pool. the family rushed him to the vet who said it was a miracle he survived and sid is back home and recovering. >> glad the owner was there to see that. we are going to continue with the bachelor speaking about

the show's issues with race and host chris harrison's comments. matt james calling those words, quote, troubling and painful. t.j., tell us more. >> you know what else he said? he said "the bachelor" franchise has fallen short for years on issues of race. he's breaking his silence. he did it just hours before the new episode of "the bachelor" aired last night and while the producers of the show remain silent about the racial controversy, you can hear it in matt james' statement. his frustration and that there's plenty of disappointment to go around. the first ever black bachelor in the 20-year history of the show is now openly criticizing "the bachelor" franchise on the issue of race. matt james calls the past few weeks some of the those challenging of his life speaking for the first time about the controversy surrounding contestant rachael kirkconnell and host chris harrison writing on instagram just before last night's episode it has been devastating and heartbreaking to put it bluntly.

kirkconnell in the final three apologized after she had liked photos with a confederate flag in them and after pictures of her at an antebellum themed college party three years ago went viral. james overnight described those pictures as incredibly disappointing. harrison immediately came to her defense. >> it's not a good look. >> no, well, rachel, is it a good look in 2018 or not a good look in 2021? >> reporter: characterizing kirkconnell as a victim of the, quote, woke police in an interview with rachel lindsay who in 2017 was the first ever black bachelorette. >> it's not a good look ever because she's celebrating the old south. if i went to that party, what would i represent at that party? >> my guess, these girls got dressed up and went to a party and had a great time. they were 18. does it make it okay? i don't know, rachel, you tell me.

but where is thiup and was it a and were we all looking through it in 2018? >> reporter: harrison later apologized announcing he's stepping aside from the franchise for a period. time. but james writes chris' failure to receive and understand the emotional labor that my friend rachel lindsay was taking on by graciously and explaining patiently the racist history of the antebellum was troubling and painful to watch, a clear reflection of a much larger issue that "the bachelor" franchise has fallen short on addressing adequately for years. james' post was applauded by andi dorfman, kaitlyn bristow and tayshia adams weighing in too. it's long dealt with a lack of diversity and faced a class action lawsuit claiming it discriminates against people of color. >> i think what's hard is we are all linked and attached to this franchise and you don't want to be attached to something that seems to be so problematic when there seems to be so much that still needs to be done. >> reporter: james says he's been pushed to re-evaluate and process what my experience on

"the bachelor" represents saying, i'll continue to process this experience and you will hear more from me in t he goes on to say, guys, in his statement he wants this to spark conversation. this is a history, this antebellum history, people should understand and some don't understand that an antebellum party can represent and glorify the same thing as a confederate flag to a lot of people. and so if that sparks a conversation and moves it forward, then fine. now, as far as the episodes go chris harrison, of course, taped months ago so he will continue to be part of the show as it continues, but the show has not made a statement during the episodes that aired live so far. >> can we say again how rachel lindsay, how well she handled that. when chris harrison was being so dismissive, i think it's not just what he said but the manner in which he was saying it that was quite disturbing to many. >> she brought it home by saying, you went to that party, you could go. what if i went, rachel lindsay, to that party, what would i be? you put it in that context,

maybe it brought it home t people who didn't understand. so the conversations continue. "the bachelor" is helping us in this racial reckoning. >> matt james, his statement was right on point too. thank you, t.j. appreciate it. now to the independent investigation into the death of elijah mcclain, the young black man who died three days after being restrained by colorado police and injected with a powerful sedative. his family is now speaking out. stephanie ramos joins us, and, stephanie, the report says police had no legal basis to even stop him. >> reporter: exactly, michael. the report also says officers had no reason to believe elijah mcclain was engaged in criminal activity or posed a threat. elijah would have turned 25 years old this week. his family says at least now they know the truth surrounding his death. this morning, the family of elijah mcclain is reacting to the independent investigative report condemning aurora, colorado police officers and

paraundimek man. >> just glad because another pair of eyes say the same thing we've been saying for the last year and a half. >> reporter: the report released monday states the aurora police officers did not have the legal basis to stop, frisk or choke the 23-year-old with autism. elijah died in august of 2019, three days after he was stopped by officers responding to a 911 call about a suspicious person. >> stop. stop. >> i have the right -- >> stop. >> reporter: three officers wrestled him to the ground, put him in a chokehold and handcuffed him. >> i can't breathe. >> reporter: a medic then injecting him with ketamine, a powerful sedative. the report criticizing aurora ems for giving him that shot even though he wasn't resisting, quote, giving the 140-pound mcclain a grossly inaccurate amount of the sedative, enough for a 190-pound man. >> so what we see is a young man

who did everything right and he was murdered by these police and medics because of his race. >> reporter: mcclain suffered cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital where he died three days later. elijah's family still heart broken. >> elijah mcclain mosley was loved. he's missed and hopefully we get justice for him. we miss him every day. >> reporter: the aurora police department has not commented on this report, which was paid for by the city council. the family has now filed a lawsuit against the city. guys? >> okay. stephanie, thanks very much. what a case. coming up later the parents demanding answers after their 6-year-old was accused of sexual misconduct by his school and they're speaking on camera for the first time this morning. next, caught on camera, the hero sheriff's deputy speaking out after rescuing a 13-year-old girl after meeting a man online. what all parents need to know. what all parents need to know. ♪ ♪ my life my life, my life, my life ♪

these are great questions, these are very important questions, right? let's look at the pros and cons. the pro is that not everyone is suited to date either a widow or a single parent. the con, however, is there are a lot of people trying to take advantage of others, namely, widows and single parents so as for that reason and i know this is not popular, but i believe you should not, i repeat, you should not include the fact that you're a widow or single parent in your profile, but you have to tell them at some point, right? i believe that's private information. private information should only be shared with those we have trust with, so make sure he's earning your trust. you know what i mean? make sure that he is committing to promises, he's showing you respect, maybe he's being vulnerable first. make sure you only share private information with those you trust. e adce ay carl, you're up. you're a girl dad. you' you're back in the dating game. last time you were single almost

a decade ago. what do you want to ask paul. >> yeah, that's right. paul, my question is i'm not sure if i should be focusing on dating another single parent or someone who doesn't have kids. you know, often i find that when dating other single parents we have our kids on opposite weekends, so i would like to hear what you have to think about that. >> yeah, definitely. i tell you what, the fact that you are a single parent interested potentially in dating another single parent, this means that you have to first be open to having a duly blended family, now, carl, that's a big commitment. you know what i mean. it's a very big commitment and comes with big decisions like how will your kids adjust? how will you blend the family, rit? carl, i know money is important to you. how will you handle the finances and where will you live? these are all big questions, now, you don't have to answer these questions before you start dating, but know, carl, these are questions that must be answered at some point. in terms of the weekends, know

this, when you find the right one they will ee have no problem working out the schedule because they know your beautiful kids come as a package with you. >> that is a fact. okay, great advice there, as well. finally, risa, you're a single mom of three, empty nester. so what question do you have for paul? >> so the question, paul, i have for you this morning is, as a single parent i live in a small-knit community and i already know many people here. so my question is, what is the best way to branch out meet other people outside of my circumstance. >> ah, i love this one, risa, repeat after me, right, say, i'm going to stretch my wings. >> i'm going to stretch my wings. >> and i'm going to fly without boundaries. >> and i'm going to fly without boundaries. >> without boundaries. that's right. here's the reason why i say this, yes, because one of the best things that's come out of the pandemic is that we're willing to stretch outside of our physical comfort zones, and

keep in mind this, right, we have no problem moving for education or for a career so why should potentially be moving for marriage, which is one of the most important decisions on the planet, right, why should that be different? this is what i call boundariless dating. i've been married 20 years. if i could go back to dating my wife i would move to the end of the earth for her. i believe most would do the same. have no fear when it comes to boundariless dating but if you get into a long distance relationship make sure there is a plan to end the distance by at least having a date to end that distance. but, risa, i want you to fly high. boundariless. >> fly high. thank you, guys, for your questions, we'll be right back, everybody.

>> announcer: building a better bay area for a safe and secure future. this is abc7 news. good morning, everyone. i'm kumasi aaron from "abc7 mornings." three bay area counties are poised to move into the state's red tier as soon as today. and that includes marin, san francisco and san mateo counties. restaurants would be allowed to open at 25% inside and gyms would also be allowed to welcome people inside, up to 10% of their capacity. movie theaters and museums would also reopen in the red tier. let's take a look at some of our neighborhood temperatures. you're going to see a lot of mid-40s to mid-50s. temperatures haven't budged much because of the high clouds. no rain, no fog, it's completely

quiet as far as weather goes for your commute. near record highs, though, this afternoon. a little breezy tomorrow and the covid's still a threat. and on reopening schools, we know what happens when we don't put safety first. ignore proper ventilation or rates of community spread, and the virus worsens. fail to provide masks or class sizes that allow for social distancing, and classrooms close back down. a successful reopening requires real safety and accountability measures.

including prioritizing vaccines for educators. parents and educators agree: reopen schools. putting safety first. hey, bay area, "live with kelly and ryan" is coming up. >> we'll chat with evan ross. plus shawn colvin performs from austin. >> that's at 9:00 on abc7. we'll have another news update in about 30 minutes. you can find the latest on our app and abc7news.com.

taking a live look at the golden gate bridge right now. the news continues with "good morning, america." ♪orning, america." back here on "gma," another ultimate upgrade to help warm you up on this tuesday morning, grilled cheese and tomato soup. >> it is a classic pair and take a look at this video viewed -- liked more than 21,000 times. the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, comes from food 52 "the new york times" contributor carolina gelen joining us. carolina, thanks for joining us. let's start with the soup. you say forget about the cans and makes you're going homemade in the oven. >> thank you so much for having me. absolutely. we're forgetting about the cans and everything. everything is going to be happening in the oven, right? recipes are super easy to make. dump a bunch of stuff in a pan, forget about it. do laundry and we'll be done

with dinner, okay? so here's what we're going to do. we'll dump a bunch of oil in a pan, right? oil, love it, 10 out of 10. some onion, right, roughly chopped onion, throw it in there. a good aromatic. next up i got a surprise little ingredient which is a whole head of garlic. i know that might sound crazy, but i promise you, it won't make your soup taste like a bowl of aioli. it will get creamy and sweet in the oven and nice and swishy, okay. next up i add the tomatoes in there. here's the thing, winter produce is not that flavorful so what we're doing by roasting it in the oven, we're just like bringing all those flavors and letting them concentrate and marinate in there, adding basil because tomatoes and basil, such a good combo, some thyme in there. maybe more olive oil on top. if you're a fan of spice that's also very nice, i'm adding

serrano peppers in here and last but not last very important when it comes to tomato, salt and some pepper. and that's our soup right there. now we're going to add this to the oven, we're going to bring it right here. add it to the oven and this is what we're going to get after 40 minutes in the oftenen at 500 degrees fahrenheit. this is our soup, it's nice and caramelized, everything is super juicy and jammy as you can see? >> how do you turn that -- once w make sphave. >> that's the great question. great, great question. i'll add everything to a blender with some vegetable stock and something creamy. i like to use full fat coconut milk but you could use heavy cream instead. dump them all in the blender and blend well for about three to five minutes. i don't have a high speed blender but this one works really well. i'll just pour it so you can see the texture on it. look at that beauty.

oh, my goodness. are you seeing that? >> looks delicious. >> okay. get this out of the way. >> now we have the soup. we have the soup. we've got to have the grilled cheese and we hear that you've got some really tasty tricks for us. what are they? >> that is correct, robin. i like that you asked that. my tricks to a really good grilled cheese sand wi67. i want it to be crispy and i want it to be melty. you know, in order to do that, what's going to help us with that melty super ooey-gooey effect is low moisture mozzarella cheese and toasted my bread on each side. that will add a nice level of crunch on both sides. so i'm just adding the mozzarella cheese in there, then i'm adding some cheddar cheese, like a really good sharp cheddar cheese that brings the flavor so just mixing them all in there

and just sandwich it all back together like so. there you have our sandwich. >> any other tricks? >> there's a little trick, george. here's what i got for you. i like to dump -- i like to have a lid on hand and like to dump about a tablespoon of water in there. it's going to sizzle, okay. be careful with this, like that and i'm just covering it. and here's what that does, it lets the cheese melt fully because there's nothing worse than like breaking into a sandwich and there's a big chunk -- a block of cheese in the middle. >> that is true. >> let me just show you what we've done, okay. i have another sandwich over here and i think we all know the most important question, don't we? >> yep, to dunk or not to dunk, that is the question. >> that is the question. let me just open the sandwich,

see what we've done here. i'm going to open it right over here for y'all. ooh. >> that's the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich if i've ever seen one. >> wow. >> i think the answer to your question is very, very obvious, which is to dunk. dunk this in here. >> people have very strong opinions about this online. >> i'm glad you saved that perfect stretch for national television. that was great. >> i'm dunking mine. >> i could never do that like that. absolutely delicious. >> thank you. this was great. >> thank you so much for having me. >> thank you. >> and all these recipes on our website. katrina adams on owning the arena and making you

you can'theearsp thok you were just 6 years old when you started to play tennis. you have two older brothers, they were taking you to the court. didn't have to change the rules to let you play, katrinay. >> just a little bit. i badgered, bullied my way onto the court with the coaches and my parents, program was for 9 to 18-year-old, i was only 6 but i knew i could do it better than anyone else on the court. >> this is somebody who i cannot believe this, you were not 6 months old when you learned how to walk. come on now, 6 monthom says. my mom and everyone says i was up climbing around at 6 months and fully running around 8 months so she wasn't happy with that. >> so that means early on, katrina, you were somebody that sa autyou?be thebo,ha hat

>> that' and eryone else said. my momee bere y ce a leadership position about myself or disposition at such an early age. >> so what if you are not somebody who is born with that kind of confidence. what is your advice to somebody, to build that confidence in themselves? >> i think it's really important for each individual to really go inward to understand what drives them, what motivates them and once you can determine that, then you can excel to be the leader that you are born to be. some of us are born leaders and some have to work at it but everybody has the capability of rising to that level. >> i have to agree with you. i think we all have that within us and it takes a little -- sometimes sports can help bring that out. with you it was tennis and growing up in the area that you did in the chicago area, that you were exposed to tennis, but you had black coaches, you played against other black

tennis players. but then when you started playing on the national level, that changed and also when you went into the boardroom, that changed. you were then all of a sudden the only person of color. so what was that shift like for you, katrina? >> you know, my parents kind of raised us to love everyone and be around everyone. their co-workers were white, jewish, black, hispanic, everything. i grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood. the program was black. the coach was black. the next program i went to was black. the first tournament i played was the nationals which was black so i didn't know that tennis wasn't really a black sport, if you will. so once i started traveling outside into the suburbs and nationally, i realized, you , w? it's a little different. but it didn't stop me. it was because it's what i love to do. my parents supported me and i didn't really see myself as different at that time. just saw myself as someone trying to accomplish the same things that my other competitors

were doing. >> and that's what you did as president of not just one but two terms, not anybody else can say that, two terms president, usta and you really wanted people to see and also to hear and do you feel you were able to make an impact, katrina? >> i believe i was. i was very fortunate at the usta many years ago really focused on diversity particular in the boardroom. when i got to the boardroom my dearest honor rl mayor david dinkins was on the board and martin blackman so i walked in with two other men of color in the boardroom and it progressed over the year, but it was very important for me that when i took the stage, that everyone could see that there are possibilities and that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. and so i wanted to make sure that every platform that i had an opportunity to go and speak on, that i was able to represent not only the usta, not only

myself but a broader group of people that perhaps did not see themselves in our sport. >> you helping that -- tell peopleha there in harlem with the harlem junior tennis and education program, really paying it forward. >> it's a chapter and we've been here 49 years now, i've been there 15 years and serving up community youth, putting rackets in kids' hands for the first time developing them and really giving them the tools necessary to earn a college scholarship, whether it's on the tennis court or through academics so providing tennis, education and wellness to really benefit the entire child. >> yes, we've had some of your graduates here and they are phenomenal such as yourself. all right, katrina adams, good to see you. thank you for all you do. continue to be very proud of you especially, "own the arena," your new book. you take care. >> thank you very much. >> "own the arena," it is available today. now back to ginger. ginger. >> robin, they are going home,

back now with an emmy award winner andbest-selling author who just happens to also be our friend and part of the abc team for over a decade. linsey davis is joining us to talk about her new children's book, "stay this way forever." good morning, linsey, great to see. >> you good morning to you, michael. so good to see you. >> always great to see you. in this book, this book is really a love letter to children, i love it so how do you want them to feel when they read this book? >> i want children to feel and know that they are loved and adored and cherished and specifically for why. parents often t the a day i love you but we often

don't tell them i love you because because of specifics or curiosity or your laugh or your joy or your playfulness and i think it'll be so powerful for parents to read this book to their children, pretty much as an affirmation of how much they love them and why. >> and the title of the book, "stay this way forever," i've said that about my kids when they were 6 or 7 years old and i know your son ayden is 7. what part of this book is based on the things they actually does? >> the whole thing. he is my muse, he is my inspiration for why i do all of these children's books and i really think that parents are going to relate. they are the mopes you try to memorize before they slip away if you could savor and push that pause button and freeze, you know, certain aspects of childhood that you know that are fleeting and you really want to hold on to and embrace and i think about specifically with my own son hearing the pitter-patter of his feet before he jumps and clients into bed with us in the morning or the

certain way that he laughs or dances and just these moments that i just want to hold on to. >> yeah, i know that feeling all too well. and as much as you do here at abc, you have found the time to iss one.now h you do it but it must be important for you to expose readers to diverse characters. >> yeah, i think certainly what you're passion national about, you'll find a way do it. initially it was the importance of making sure that my son was able to see himself reflected in books, but now i look at it additionally that this is to allow parents to expose their children, i think and i hope that especially coming off of the so-called racial reckoning, the summer we had where parents were thinking, what could we do and what kind of conversations can we have and i think you can start by having toys and books and giving that gentle introduction, exposing, giving your kids experience to kids who don't look like them. you know, i hope that parents

won't say, oh, well, this is a book with black and brown characters so it isn't for my child. it is. >> it is for everybody and your books are best-sellers and why do you think they resonate with families so much. >> i mean, i would like to think that it's because it's pure, it's genuine, it's authentically who i am as a mom. it's not like i'm trying to image what would it be like to have a child in these various stages and hopes and what you're trying to instill and inspire in your child. i'm living it every day and i imagine that my experience is that of parents who are just trying to do their best in loving their children and raising good solid citizen. >> you're doing your best. you're inspiring spoem. you inspire us here at "gma." we got to say a big congratulations, you are the matoea a prime time news ld new
