how you doing? how you doing? arkansas is out. a great run. >> a great run, but this tournament is beautiful. 68 teams getting into the tournament. 67 will lose their last game of the year. you know what, that's just the way it goes, a great run, very proud of them, and congrats to baylor and houston getting in there, but the game of the night was on the women's side. baylor, the lady bears and uconn. this was a wonderful, wonderful game, but uconn is going to, robin, their 13th straight final four. >> i know. >> 13th straight and geno auriemma celebrating with his team. we'll have much more on march madness. >> even lebron james tweeted about that game. >> you have to. it was unbelievable -- that game was the game of march madness so far. >> you've been a good sport. we see the 5-hour energy under the desk. we're here for you if you need it. >> thank you, brother. we do have a busy morning. also ahead, promising news about

how effective covid vaccines are as the president says nearly all americans will be eligible to get a dose in just three weeks. we'll have the latest on that. but we'll begin with the first day in the trial of derek chauvin. yes, the former minneapolis police officer charged with murder in the killing of george floyd. the prosecution focusing on that video of floyd's death showing how chauvin kept his knee on floyd's neck for more than nine minutes. but the defense saying there is much more to the story than that tape. lt's go right to alex perez. he is there outside the courthouse in minneapolis where day two of testimony is about to get under way. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. you know, this case has sparked conversations about race around the world but right here in the courtroom, the focus is on derek chauvin's actions and what exactly killed george floyd. >> what do we want? [ chanting "justice" ] >> reporter: overnight, demonstrators taking to the streets of downtown minneapolis outside the courtroom where derek chauvin is standing trial accused of murdering george floyd. [ crowd chanting ]

>> reporter: the crowd demanding justice on what was the first day of one of the most closely watched police misconduct cases in a generation. in opening statements prosecutor jerry blackwell saying the case is about one rogue cop, not all police officers, and quickly turning to that difficult to watch video of chauvin digging his knee into floyd's neck last memorial day after floyd was accused of using a phony $20 bill. >> you will learn that he was well aware that mr. floyd was unarmed, that mr. floyd had not threatened anyone, that mr. floyd was in handcuffs. you will learn what happened in that 9 minutes and 29 seconds. >> reporter: blackwell playing the video in its entirety for the jury unedited. >> you'll see he does not let up. he does not get up.

he does not get up, even when the paramedic comes to check for a pulse and didn't find one. >> reporter: the defense claiming floyd's death was not caused by chauvin but by a combination of factors including cardiac arrhythmia and fentanyl and methamphetamine found in his system and that floyd was resisting arrest. >> you will see that three minneapolis police officers could not overcome the strength of mr. floyd. mr. chauvin stands 5'9", 140 pounds. mr. floyd is 6'3", weighs 223 pounds. >> reporter: chauvin's defense calling the growing crowd of bystanders who were demanding chauvin get off of floyd, a threat to the officers. >> they're screaming at him, causing the officers to divert their attention from the care of mr. floyd to the threat that was growing in front of them. >> reporter: those bystanders now also witnesses, two taking the stand monday. >> get him off the ground. >> reporter: that voice, donald williams who's trained in mixed martial arts and testified that he told chauvin what he was doing was a deadly moved called a blood choke.

>> like the fish in the bag you seen his eyes slowly pale out and again slowly roll to the back of his eyes. he was going through distress because of the knee and he vocalized it, that i can't breathe, and i need to get up and i'm sorry. >> reporter: also testifying, the 911 dispatcher who sent police to the scene. she watched from a nearby city camera. video we are seeing for the first time, at first the police vehicle floyd was in rocked back and forth. then seeing the officers pin floyd for so long she wondered if the camera had frozen. >> my instincts were telling me that something was wrong, something has not right i don't know what but something wasn't right. >> reporter: she says she became so concerned she phoned a supervising sergeant, prosecutors playing a recording of that call. >> you can call me a snitch if you want to. i don't know if they had to use force or not. >> reporter: to give you an idea of security here, the rest of the building is shut down and jurors are escorted to and from

their cars. testimony resumes this morning. robin. >> all right, alex, we know that you're going to be there, but for now we're joined by our chief legal analyst dan abrams and channa lloyd. managing partner at the cochran firm. thank you both very much. dan, we're going to begin with you, what stands out the most to you about day one of testimony? >> i think the surprises for me came a little bit more on the defense side, what they did do and what they didn't do. what they didn't do was address that video at all. i thought at the least they would say something like, yes, that video is difficult to watch. we recognize that, but -- they didn't do that, instead they simply said that derek chauvin was abiding by his training and the thing that they did do, as alex mentioned in his piece, is they seemed to be suggesting that derek chauvin may have been

distracted at the time that he had his knee on george floyd, and i think that's a tough legal argument to make that somehow something might have gone wrong because he was distracted. george floyd might have been killed because he was distracted. i don't know if that's really a legal defense here and i think it's a dangerous one for them to make. >> channa, as dan mentioned, that video is gut wrenching to watch. if you're a human being you had to react in some emotional way seeing it. what do you think about how the prosecution started? >> i think the prosecution did a very good job in balancing the videos with the facts that they're expecting the jury to look at. the video creates a visceral reaction in anyone that's watching this video, and they tied it to all of the other things that the jurors can tie to facts, which is why this should not have happened. >> channa, what do you do on the defense side with that video? dan just mentioned they didn't even acknowledge how difficult it is to watch, so how do you counter that video if you're the defense? >> it seems as though his

strategy is going to be almost death by a lot of little cuts and, you know, he's attacking whether or not there were distractions by the bystanders, whether or not there were training. he's going to talk about the drugs. he's going to try to find enough little holes that someone and members of the jury create that reasonable doubt. well, there was this, there was that. if you point to all these little facts that are going to amount to reasonable doubt. that seems to be the strategy he's taking. >> dan, in addition to the video that many of us saw again yesterday, the prosecution with two witnesses, the 911 dispatcher who testified what she saw, also the bystander who's a martial arts fighter, how important were they and what do you expect from witnesses going forward, dan? >> well, i think the 911 operator almost in particular is important because she's part of law enforcement, right? i think you're going to see that as a theme here.

you're going to see the minneapolis police chief, you're going to see other officers, former offiers coming and saying, no, that's not reasonable force, and i think when you hear that from people in law enforcement, it has even more impact in a trial like this when the very defense is that he did what he was trained to do and then you have these people in law enforcement saying, that's not what i think the training would do and you're going to see more of that, 911 operator was just with regard to what she saw. you'll now see some of the experts who will testify about that as well. >> channa, what do you think about the next big witnesses that we'll see on the stand? >> i think they started with two very significant witnesses, one who is used to trauma and one who still felt like something was wrong. also an mma fighter who is taught to fight until submission, so he's very clear about how that happens. i think the next biggest witness is going to be the police chief. it's going to be very significant. we very rarely have other law

enforcement that will testify against one another in this type of an instance and to have the police chief say that this was clearly beyond what was in his scope and what he was trained to do is going to be highly impactful on our jury. >> when you kept hearing the prosecutor saying there were people that were calling the police on the police. they kept saying that over again. police, people calling the police on the police, thank you both very much. i know that we'll be checking with you from time to time in the next several weeks and day two of testimony in the derek chuvin trial starts this morning at 10:30 eastern. you can watch our streaming channel, abc news live for full coverage. whit? robin, we turn now to the latest on the coronavirus emergency. overnight, the u.s. passing another painful milestone, 550,000 deaths, as 23 states are now reporting a disturbing increase in cases, but there is encouraging news on the vaccine rollout.

weeks means that more new cases are to come in the weeks ahead. >> reporter: and starting today, new york giving the green light to anyone 30 and up to get the vaccine. that is a trend we're seeing across the country. whit. >> and that is encouraging. eva pilgrim for us, thank you so much. robin. now to march madness. half the final four set for the women and the men after some exciting games last night and will reeve joins us now with which teams still have on their dancing shoes. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, robin. i'm so sorry that i have to do this, t.j., hate that the razorbacks' run had to end this way, but i guess smile because it happened, you know. if you're a basketball fan, rejoice, because last night's games were truly elite. overnight, the final four taking shape in the men's and women's ncaa tournaments. >> it's over. >> reporter: 12th seed oregon state turning back into a pumpkin on their road to the final four, the beavers' cinderella story ending to marcus sasser and number two

houston. >> the dream is alive for houston. >> reporter: the cougars back in the final four for the first time in 36 years. >> it's been a long time coming. the baylor bears are back in the final four for the first time in 71 years. >> reporter: also making history, number one seed baylor with the help of star davion mitchell defeating arkansas and now headed to the final four for the first time ever. >> the bigger the moment, the bigger she plays. >> reporter: in arguably the game of the year in either tournament, the uconn huskies storming back to beat the baylor lady bears, sealing their win with a controversial no foul call in the final seconds that even had lebron james outraged. >> paige bueckers is feeling it. >> reporter: the freshman phenom paige bueckers and team having

some fun with geno auriemma postgame. >> this is a young team. >> reporter: and arizona making program history with their win, aari mcdonald scoring 33 sending the wildcats to their first ever final four. tonight, for the men it's usc/gonzaga, ucla/michigan. now, whoever wins it all for the men, out of the remaining six teams, it's going to be a long time coming. baylor has never even been here before, and the most recent winner of the group, ucla, since 1995. i could give you more facts and figures, but i'll lay out and give t.j. some time to process. >> will, we were okay. ucla, you know who they beat in the '95 championship, the university of arkansas. >> the razorbacks. >> still hurting. >> will, we'll see you next week. >> you made it. >> t.j. told me he watched the movie "the predator" after the game to calm down and decompress. >> that calmed me down watching "predator." >> we're feeling for you.

travel slowdown any time soon. airlines are adding more and more flights to beach destinations. just yesterday, united added flights in may to mexico, the caribbean and central and south america. on monday, the cdc director asking people to hold off. >> we are just almost there but not quite yet. and so i'm asking you to just hold on a little longer to get vaccinated when you can. >> reporter: some hotels are betting americans will travel anyway. some covering the additional cost if you have to extend your stay if you test positive on vacation. something cory and alicia mudd relied on. >> it was one less thing we had to worry about. that's for sure. we probably take it for granted we didn't have to worry about that. >> reporter: meanwhile, american airlines says it made the most money during the pandemic just within the last seven days and they say they expect to fly all

and this is my journey. i've found a way to do things differently with ocrevus, an infusion treatment that's 2-times-a-year. for adults with relapsing or primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, ocrevus is proven effective in reducing relapses in rms and slowing disability progression in rms and ppms. don't take ocrevus if you've had a life-threatening allergic reaction to it, or have hepatitis b. tell your doctor about vaccinations or if you've had hep b, as it could come back. a common side effect of ocrevus is infusion reactions, and some may require hospitalization. it can increase your risk of infections, which can be serious, and may decrease certain types of immunoglobulins. while pml was not reported in clinical trials, it could happen. an increased risk of cancer, including breast cancer, may exist. sorry, ms. you don't get to control every part of me. ms can't own us. ask your doctor about two-times-a-year ocrevus. with visible, you get unlimited data for as little as $25 a month. but when you bring a friend, you get a month for $5.

so i'm bringing everyone within 12 degrees of me. bam, 12 months of $5 wireless. visible. wireless that gets better with friends. did you know that every single flush flings odors onto your soft surfaces? then they get release back into the air, so you smell them later. ew right? that's why febreze created small spaces. press firmly and watch it get to work. unlike the leading cone, small spaces continuously eliminates odors in the air and on surfaces. so they don't come back for 45 days. just imagine what it can do with other odors.

later he came across footage he says may shed new light on the death of a basketball legend's dad. some of the most moving moments of the documentary "the last dance" were the scenes of michael jordan speaking about his late father, james. >> he was my rock, you know, we were very close. he constantly gave advice. >> reporter: for many, the documentary revived interest in the shocking 1993 murder of michael's father. now, a new docu-series is raising fresh questions about who killed him and renewing calls for a retrial. in the summer of 1993 james jordan was found in a swamp, shot and killed. his vandalized red lexus found dozens of miles away, two childhood friends, 18-year-old daniel green and 17-year-old larry demery were arrested for the crime. authorities claiming that the two teens killed the elder jordan during a botched robbery and that green pulled the trigger. but now, the five-part series

"moment of truth" airing on imdb tv questioning that verdict re-examining the case through rarely seen crime scene photos and fresh interviews with key players and never before heard audiotapes from the murder trial. >> this is the first time that in many ways audiences will be able to see the complete story surrounding this murder. >> reporter: in this clip exclusive to "gma" green's co-defendant demery, who pleaded guilty to first degree murder and testified against green, tells the court that the pair snuck up on an unsuspecting james jordan sitting in his lexus. not realizing he was the nba superstar's father. >> he said something like, what's this? what's going on? and as soon as words came out of his mouth daniel shot him. he went to the driver's side of the car to look at credit cards and things and he made the

statement to me that, damn, we killed michael jordan's daddy. >> reporter: his testimony was key to green's conviction and this damning video didn't help. green rapping, wearing jordan's championship watch and all-star ring, gifts michael jordan had given to his father. green was found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to life. >> daniel, anything you want to say to the jordan family? >> i didn't kill him. that's all i got to say. >> reporter: but now, as green fights for his freedom, he denies being at the scene when jordan was shot but does admit he helped his friend dispose of jordan's body after he claims demery shot him. >> i didn't know who it was. i didn't even know if it was an elderly man. i got involved trying to protect a friend. i didn't kill james jordan. i'm innocent. i'm innocent of murder. >> reporter: green's attorneys point to shoddy police work including a lack of any blood evidence. >> authorities say jordan died of a single gunshot wound to the chest but no blood found in the car.

>> reporter: despite new evidence green's motion for a retrial was denied by a state superior court judge, but green is not giving up. the filmmakers say michael jordan declined their request for an interview but a few months after his dad's murder the chicago bulls legend spoke to oprah. >> would you ever want to say to them, why? >> no, because i don't want to know. >> you don't? >> no, because it probably would hurt me even more just to know their reasons because if it is, it's going to be totally meaningless to the reason and it's better that i don't know. >> reporter: so much footage unearthed after so many years. "a moment of truth" premieres this friday april 2nd, all five episodes on imdb tv, amazon's streaming service. robin. >> all right, stephanie, thank you. you know it has to be so painful for the jordan family. coming up, our "play of the day."

includes a kung fu master, wearing what's purported to be a traditional style tang coat, dashes for eyes for the asian characters and stereotypical chinese proverbs. the author of nearly 50 books calling billy and his two young boys just a couple days later, and publicly apologizing saying he hopes his readers will, quote, forgive me and learn from my mistake, that even unintentional and passive stereotypes and racism is harmful to everyone. publisher scholastic taking swift action saying they, quote, recognize this book perpetuates passive racism adding they've pulled the book from their websites and stopped all orders. father billy saying the conversation was a great example of how open dialogue can bring about positive change. adding, s family remains fans of pilkey. >> deciding to pull this book has a pretty significant impact, not just on the publishing

that you're trying to clear up like breakouts and irritation. so one tip for you, robin, is all this on the package, grab a sharpie and you want to write the date that you open it on it so you can keep track. a good rule of thumb, if you don't do that, any time a product changes in texture, color or smell, you know it's time to chuck it. like this guy is looking a little funky, it's almost time for it to go. >> okay. >> and, you know, products that are unopened, two years, so remember that. >> once they're unopened for two years, but i like the idea of the sharpie and just kind of reminding ourselves because sometimes it's really hard to see those dates. we're hearing about a lot of products without preservatives. does that affect how long these products last? >> robin, when you see preservative-free on the label i want you to compare it to a head of lettuce.

how long will this lettuce last in your fridge? that's about how long the products will last. use it up quickly. >> okay. i love that you have your own props there with the lettuce. wasn't expecting that. really good but that's a great visual. we know that all products expire. can you break down how long skin care products -- skin care products in particular should last us? >> yes, so think of this as your skin care expiration cheat sheet. when it comes to cleansers you have about a year, serum, moisturizers and face masks, about six months to a year, and sunscreen you have two years, but if it's left in a hot car or your beach bag, it's not as good so you want to throw it away. >> and how about makeup products, heather? >> so makeup, the one we're all kind of reaching for to get through quarantine zoom, mascara. that's going to last about three months and the tip for you on that, robin, don't pump it in the bottle.

>> oh, i don't want to say because t's a friend of mine a filmmaker and i'll get in trouble. finish the rest of it before my family wakes up, so that's advantage to getting up early. >> good answer. >> all right, mark, so this is whit here. i drew the short straw. i'm doing the workout with you. >> first, we'll start with a little squat. shoulder form. >> if you want to switch it a little bit, squat like that. >> et split skwatsd jump. >> keep knees 90 degrees.

"wahl street" debuts on hbo max. april 15th. coming up, a new royal biography -- trying to get my breath. it's shining a light on queen elizabeth's complicated

♪ lately i've been, i've been thinking ♪ we are back now with that new royal biography. it's called "elizabeth & margaret: the intimate world of the windsor sisters." it's an inside look at the relationship between the queen and her sister and it may offer some insight into prince william and harry's now complex dynamic. kaylee hartung sat down with the author, andrew morton, and she

joins us now. good morning, kaylee. >> reporter: hey, lara. long before we saw william and harry at odds, it was elizabeth and margaret who struggled to keep the peace. now, royal biographer andrew morton says that margaret was always loyal to her sister, the queen, and now it's time for harry to apologize to his brother. they're the most famous brothers in the world. william and harry, caught in one of the most public rifts in royal history. >> harry's said that his brother is trapped. his father is trapped. he's been quite disloyal. >> reporter: now andrew morton, the author who gained acclaim for the biography of their late mother princess diana says the pair could take a lesson out of his new book diving into the complicated, but loving relationship between their grandmother and great aunt. what lessons could william and harry learn from queen elizabeth and margaret? >> forgiveness goes a long way. the queen and margaret fell out but they always came back together.

>> eldest sister, youngest sister, number one and number two. >> who is number one? >> reporter: just four years apart, as children they were the closest of friends, but as they grew, so did their differences. >> margaret was always the mischievous one, the queen was the dutiful one, the cautious one. >> reporter: the dueling dynamic of heir and spare. >> what news ofprincess margaret? >> any disasters i should be aware of? >> reporter: holding her sister's happiness in her hands. when she fell in love with divorced captain peter townsend. >> the queen was prepared to sacrifice a stain on the monarchy to allow her sister to marry and if she stood firm and said my sister can marry the man that she loves i think we might have avoided all the troubles that we've seen in the house of windsor over the last 60 years. >> reporter: what was your reaction to harry and meghan's interview with oprah that made so many headlines? >> it was like diana talking at times, you know, the loneliness, the sense of isolation, being blamed by the media for

everything that went wrong. it was almost like she was talking to me from 30 years ago. >> history repeating itself. >> i was shocked that when meghan mentioned she had mental health issues that no help had been given because as we know princess margaret had been for counseling and psychiatry. >> what advice can you imagine diana giving harry in this moment? >> be happy and most of all that she will hope that harry and william will find some kind of reconciliation because she always said to me, harry is william's backup in the nicest possible way, and was probably thinking of elizabeth and margaret. >> reporter: andrew morton credits "the crown" with exciting a new generation of royal watchers. and he says the show more often than not comes strikingly close to reality, but he told me what

surprised him most as he was doing research for this book was how often the queen is depicted as cold and distant as a mother. this book is a chance to expose the unseen queen, the queen of hearts. lara. >> wow, kaylee, thank you. "elizabeth & margaret: the intimate world of the windsor sisters" is out now. ginger, over to you. oh, lara, i need to catch up on "the crown" really badly. okay, let's get to this video. from wildfires in napa, oh beautiful, california. but it's been windy and will be today again. anywhere from chester, california, to outside san jose some wind adviso good morning. we are off to a milder and sunny start. that'll push temperatures well above average in the mid to upper 60s along the coast, now to getting ahold of our finances for 2021 and beyond.

financial educator and founder of the budgetnista, tiffany aliche, she's out with a book "get good with money: ten simple steps to becoming financially whole." she joins us with some of her tips. so good to see you. my fellow thriver. being financially whole, being financially whole, explain to people what you mean by that. >> so financial wholeness, robin, is when the core ten components of your financial life come together to create a foundation so strong that you can build whatever financial house or achieve whatever financial goals that you want. >> you also say a big part of this is you have to learn to earn. i love that phrase. learn to earn in order to maximize income. explain that to folks. >> absolutely. everybody should know how to make additional money. one of the ways you can do so

is create what i call a go me file. so that is when you help to make the company you work for money or help save the company you work for money. when that happens put it in a file. write it down so when you go for a review or you ask for a raise, you can quantify your ability to get so. you also want to monetize your skill set so, robin, i used to be a preschool teacher for over ten years. when i did so i used to tutor and baby-sit. what skill set, even though you have your regular job, can you use to make money on the side? >> got to get your side hustle on. also and my dad is like, he's like waving down from his heavenly balcony on this one. save like a squirrel. that's what you've got to do. let people know what you mean by that. >> so squirrels are super savvy savers. when acorns are abound they save the most and they work the hardest. the best way that you can save like a squirrel is to split it before you get it. so that means i want to you go to hr, i want you to go to your

payroll department and say, instead of putting all of my money in my checking account, can you also put some of my money in my savings account? you can split without having to worry about doing disciplined and make sure that savings account is an online-only savings account because doing so makes it inconvenient because the transfer from online-only savings to your regular checking takes some time so inconvenient money gets saved. >> all right, split it before you get it. see, this is what i love about you. little tips like that that stays with you. credit score. you know, a lot of people obsess about that. is it something that we should focus on and how necessary is that? how important is that, our credit score? >> so your credit is really important but it's not the number that you think. so the perfect fico score folks think is 850. really the beginning of a perfect credit score is going to be 740 so that's the number that you should go after. and there's some easy ways to do so. you can piggyback like you were a kid, you can ask your mom,

dad, aunt, uncle, hey, you who pays off your credit card every month in full, can i be an authorized user so when you pay off your credit card every month in full it looks like we paid it all off in full? also, if you have a credit card at a zero balance try to pay a small debt off in full every month. put your $25, say like your gym membership on it and pay it off every month in full because then it looks like you paid off a debt every month, the amount doesn't matter. and lastly, also consider getting something like it's called a credit builder loan. your local credit union will typically have. i call it like the loan fakeout so this is when you get the loan, they don't give you the money, they put it in a savings account and then you pay back that loan every month for a year so it looks like you made 12 online monthly payments, paid off a loan in full and at the end you get your money back. >> you get your money back, like the sound of that.

tiffany, thank you. thank you. it's a brilliant new book and, again, you were a preschool teacher and to take that and now you're educating us all on ow -- how to save and be good with money. thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> any time. "get good with money" is out now.
