population. eva pilgrim is live at the vaccination site at yankee stadium. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, michael. the push to vaccinate now targeting a younger crowd, getting to that much hoped for herd immunity means many people still need to get the vaccine. experts hope by opening up vaccinations, it will help us get there. this morning, all eyes on pfizer. the fda may approve use for their vaccine for 12 to 15-year-olds as early as this week. the move would make some middle and all high schoolers eligible to get vaccinated in the u.s. experts say it's critical to open up vaccines to younger people because they can get and spread covid especially indoors, close together, interacting with people outside of their homes. 12-year-old caleb chung was part of pfizer's trial earlier this year. >> i definitely hope we get back to whatever we would call normal, eventually soon. >> reporter: pfizer's vaccine

has already been approved for teens 16 and older. this weekend in florida, more than 1,500 students, family and community members lined up to get vaccinated at three high schools, specifically trying to get the vaccine to teens. >> we worked with the florida department of health in orange county to determine which schools they wanted to focus on. >> reporter: expanding eligibility is key as the demand for vaccines has started to dwindle. daily shots down 22%. in texas, weekly shots plummeting more than 50%, and this week, the state's slated to have a surplus of 500,000 doses with no clinics asking for them. some vaccine sites now offering incentives to entice people to come out. in houston at nrg park, everyone who gets a vaccine in the next two weeks can enter to win a raffle that includes prizes that range from tickets to texans games to concerts, and other sites just trying to make it convenient. last night the milwaukee bucks offering covid vaccines to fans

vaccines. george? >> they need so much help right now. james, thanks so much. you at home can find more resources on ways to help in india by going to goodmorningamerica.com. robin? turning now to the rising tensions in afghanistan. over the weekend, the taliban targeting u.s. and allied forces. the u.s. quickly retaliating with air strikes as the biden administration prepares to withdraw all american troops by september 11th. senior foreign correspondent ian pannell is on the ground in kabul. good morning, ian. >> reporter: good morning, robin. that's right, the u.s. troop withdrawal now gathering pace. we're seeing a number of military bases already formally handed over. we're watching forces training this morning, and they've done most of the fighting and most of the dying over the last 20 years, but they have to do it without immediate support of the u.s. forces. there's serious concerns over how well prepared they are. over the weekend, as you say, there was an attack on a u.s. air base, this is down in

kandahar in the south. no injuries or damage to equipment reported, but the u.s. military launching a strike in retaliation, and general miller, the commander of u.s. and nato forces here, warning the taliban again they'll respond forcefully to any kind of attack. robin? >> and ian, the taliban is accusing the u.s. of violating the agreement to withdraw by may 1st? >> reporter: yeah, remember that was the original deadline and then president biden pushed it back to by september 11th. the taliban is essentially saying they'll take every counteraction appropriate against the occupying forces. sounds like a threat, but so far in practice, at least there doesn't appear to be a wholesale move against u.s. forces here, but make no mistake, that doesn't mean they're not on the offensive against afghan forces. there are dozens of attacks here every single day and there's been a huge rise in civilian casualties so far this year, and the afghans here are really worried about what happens when the americans leave. whether the taliban will once again march into kabul and

whether the gains we made over the last 20 years, especially for women and girls, will be lost again. robin? >> many are wondering that, ian. thank you. please stay safe. michael? >> thank you, robin. now to those stunning images of the spacex capsule splashing down in the gulf of mexico over the weekend bringing four astronauts safely back to earth after a six-month mission. gio benitez has all the latest. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, michael, good morning. this was incredibly daring because it happened in the middle of the night. the first nighttime splashdown for nasa in more than 50 years. over the weekend, dramatic images like we've never seen before. >> and there you can see it. in the entry of earth's atmosphere, crew dragon continuing its journey home. >> reporter: that fireball is the spacex crew resilience, surviving 3,500 degrees of fiery heat as it brings four astronauts home. >> le resill yans, welcome

right now. they will also splash down in about six months. michael? >> a very expensive marshmallow. >> yes. >> what do you say, michael? thank you, gio. we have a championship ring that apparently wasn't enough for wnba star breanna stewart. she had to top everything off with an engagement ring. the seattle storm forward and reigning finals mvp popping the question over the weekend to -- i'm sorry -- marta xargay who is also a wnba player. stewie sharing the news on instagram with this caption. did a thing, another ring. she said yes. marta plays for phoenix. the two may face each other in a preseason game this weekend. we wish you both the best. >> congratulations to them. >> congrats. we are following a lot of other headlines this morning, including an honor student who seemingly vanished without a trace. we'll tell you what police are saying about her disappearance this morning. and the latest on that horrifying deck collapse during a birthday party at a tennessee restaurant. more than 40 people falling about two stories to the ground.

million decks in the country, about half of them need to be replaced or repaired. experts say waterfront decks are particularly susceptible to damage. >> if they're near an ocean or a bay, you have more salt spray, and that salt spray can cause more corrosion on the fasteners and connecters, therefore they need to be serviced and checked more often. >> reporter: in tennessee, an investigation is under way to determine what caused the deck to collapse there. as for what you can do to make sure your deck is safe and secure, experts say you should have someone come in and inspect it every three to four years, guys. >> good suggestions. thank you, elwyn. now to a landmark trial starting today that could change the way you use your iphone. apple going up against the company behind the popular video game "fortnite." rebecca jarvis is here with that. do tell, rebecca. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the stakes are so high here. this landmark case could fundamentally change the business of apple, one of the largest tech companies in the

world, and if you own one of the 1.5 billion iphones and ipads out there, this could fundamentally change your user experience with that device. this morning, it's the big guns of tech, apple versus epic games. epic is the creator of the wildly popular "fortnite." the two tech giants about to go head to head in a california courtroom after the gaming company filed a lawsuit against apple alleging the app store has enormous power, and uses its monopoly to coerce developers. apple ceo tim cook and the head of epic games tim sweeney could both testify in the coming weeks. the industry juggernauts battle over one major issue, the so-called apple tax, a 30% fee that developers pay on digital purchases made via apple's app store. apple recently lowering the fee for 15% for any developer making

less than $1 million in sales. last year, epic games added a new feature to "fortnite" allowing gamers to bypass apple's app store for certain in-game purchases like a new look for a character or a celebratory dance move. apple fired back booting the game and millions of their users off the platform. >> apple's defense is in this case. it's not here to defend its app store policies. it's here to say that epic broke its rules. >> reporter: apple says this control over the app store is vital to keeping its system safe and secure while protecting the privacy of its users. a case with potentially far reaching implications for consumers. >> one outcome could be that apple is forced to allow other app stores onto the iphone which could mean less expensive stuff. >> reporter: epic has brought a similar case against google, and if epic has its way, what you could see in the future are a number of app stores out there where every single app designer who has the power to do it could have their own interface with you, their own app store.

apple will argue that that is fundamentally different than what they designed the iphone and the ipad to do for you. going to the app store is basic to their model. we'll have an answer in the next couple of weeks when the judge makes the call. >> people want to know the answer. you right about that, rebecca. thank you. wow. coming up, with that huge spike in travel bookings, we'll tell you how to cash in on the places to stay. places to stay. cash in on the places to stay. from prom dresses to workouts

we are back with a look ahead to summer rentals. more than 7 in 10 americans are planning a getaway in the coming months. so demand is high, and the ceo of airbnb says they need millions of hosts. janai norman has the details. good morning, janai. >> reporter: my summer plans were to be here back in times square with you guys and here we are. here are the numbers that may motivate you. new hosts that signed up since the start of the pandemic and have just one listing have collectively made over a billion dollars. with summer coming, that's a whole lot of opportunity for a lot of supplemental income. this morning, that spare bedroom could mean spare cash in your pocket. as more americans are making travel plans, airbnb needs more hosts, meaning you could be sitting on a gold mine. >> we have 4 million hosts to meet the demand over the coming years, we're going to need millions of more hosts. >> reporter: as vaccine rates soar, so are travel bookings.

leading to surging demand and reports of shortages from rental cars to rental units. creating an opportunity for anyone looking to cash in. >> this is creating really important, you know, economic opportunity. it's taking what is otherwise our biggest expense, their mortgage or their rent, and turning it into something they can make extra bucks off. >> reporter: from march 2020, to march 2021, the average host earned nearly $8,000 a year, and with international travel restrictions, airbnb is seeing spikes in domestic trips and in rural areas and small towns reportedly up 40% in the last month. >> one of the impacts has been that travel has really started to spread out. so whereas people might have been focused on a couple of big cities and big beach towns before, we're really seeing travel being driven to smaller communities, to communities that, you know, didn't usually benefit from the tourism which is really, really exciting. >> reporter: other platforms also looking to capitalize on the surge.

vrbo, which focuses on renting whole homes, wants to compete with airbnb for yours. >> if you list it on vrbo, you'll attract families looking for a bit more and spend twice as much more. >> reporter: this couple became hosts in july right in the middle of the pandemic. >> it actually worked out. i think that a lot of people are choosing to stay in private homes because with a hotel you have to, you know, meet a lot of people versus if you are in a private home, you get it clean and yourself, and you have your own things there. >> reporter: but if you want to rent out your home, there are some things you should know. >> some communities also have homeowners association rules against it. so before you just go and put your place on airbnb, make sure that you're allowed to do that. >> reporter: also important, think about insurance you'll need to protect yourself and your home, and then how you can make guests feel like it's their home. so if this news has you hearing,

ka-ching in your mind and you're thinking what your home is worth, airbnb has a new, what's my place worth feature that gives users an estimate of how much their homes would make on the platform, and if you are looking to book for the summering book early, guys. >> ka-no.

we want everybody to see a clip right now. >> we're family. the ballroom is our home. for too long, we have been on the run, all of us. if you are always moving, if no one can catch you, nothing bad can happen to you, but all that running ain't going to do nothing but put more distance between you and what you are meant to do with your life. >> mj, your character blanca, strong mother figure from day one. so tell everybody her pogression this season. >> oh my god. i think -- first and foremost, i'm so glad to be back with you guys. such a pleasure. i would say first and foremost, i think from first season to now, she has had growth as a mother and growth as a leader, and she's really making her point as how she's standing out and standing up for herself and just being true to her legacy. >> and listening to that speech that your character just made, it's interesting that your character is making that speech because you actually thought about quitting before you got this role. tell us about that. >> i did.

i did. i was literally at a crossroads in my career. i was 20 something years old, and i was literally down and out. i told my mother it was not going to happen, and i was going to give up. i was just going to go back to my regular 9:00 to 5:00 and "pose" came along and my whole life changed. everything turned around for the better, and i couldn't have asked for anything better. >> it's amazing that it came around. a lot of people were surprised it even got past the pilot. what do you think has been the secret to the success? >> i think the most -- i think the secret for me was the love that we shared, the camaraderie that we had onset with the cast members and the directors and the writers and our drive to make sure we told the stories as true and as authentic as we could. >> so many lgbtq plus people in front of the camera, behind the camera. you all are truly a family. do you think this will open more doors for this community going

forward in the industry? >> yes. i definitely think it's going to open more doors down the line. i mean, with an amazing show like this where it's opened it up for so many transwomen, especially transwomen of color, i think we're setting the tone, especially being the firsts. for myself, i'm happy to be apart of this. it's definitely changing the game for sure. >> you tried so hard, and talked about almost giving up before "pose" came along. if you could go back to your younger self, what would you tell yourself? >> oh, good question. i think i would probably tell my younger self that you are going to make it. you have nothing to worry about. just make sure you keep leading the path of love, hope, joy, inspiration and just humility. >> and aside from "pose," you did play audrey in "little shop of horrors." >> i did. >> can you do us a favor for our friend george?

we're back now with the emmy-winning co-host of "the view," a former federal prosecutor, our senior legal correspondent and analyst, and most importantly, our dear friend. sunny hostin is adding author to her resume with her very first novel, "summer on the bluffs." my friend, i am six chapters in, and i am loving the story. oh my goodness. >> oh, thank you. >> what motivated you to write it? >> you know, i just feel, robin, we are going through such heavy, heavy times, right? and i wanted an escape, and i was in the bookstore, you know. i was online looking for a beach escape centering someone that looked like me, centering black women, something that was filled with sand and fun and secrets, and i didn't see anything, and i just thought, if i'm thirsting for something like that, other

women are thirsting for something like that, and tony morrison said, if there's a book you want to read and you can't find it, you must write it. i took my pen and started writing it, and now you're holding it. "summer on the bluffs." >> i'm so glad you did, sunny. it's a great read. you take on some really tough topics. how did you find the balance? >> well, you know, i think that if you are going to write about women, and you're going to write about latina women, and you're going to write about black women, you have to be authentic about it and you have to write about our real, lived experience, and part of that is including things like colorism. part of that is including things about love, loss, you know, friendship. all of those trials and tribulations, and so i tried to find that balance because we live these robust lives. women are really complicated, and i think i found that balance and i struck that balance and i

just wanted to make sure that i showed, you know, what complexities and complex creatures we are as women. you can't write a book about women if you don't write about our complexities. >> it's beautiful. for people who are not familiar about the oak bluffs, enlighten them where this is. >> well, it's on the island of martha's vineyard off of massachusetts. i got to tell you, robin, it is my happy place. i have been going to martha's vineyard since i was a teenager. i bring my children there every single year. my son -- those are my little ones. they're big now, but my son celebrates his birthday there every single year. you know, african-americans have been vacationing there since before the harlem renaissance. it was one of the only places that black folks could buy beachfront property in the united states, and so i wanted to center that experience, teach folks about it a little bit, and

invite people to enjoy my happy place. >> your happy place. >> and i hope that after reading the book, they'll start visiting a little bit. >> i think that they will. like you said, you have spent time there with your family, and i hear some abc colleagues. some of our colleagues inspired you as well. do tell. >> yeah. it's a work of fiction, but i'll tell you when i was writing it, i did something that apparently is a little unusual. i invited some friends over to my house and gave them a couple of chapters and i wanted a little bit of input, and i invited linsey davis over to the house. >> ah. >> she was reading it and she said, this looks a little like me. i said, it's got a little flavoring of miss linsey because we all know we love her and she's so smart and so fantastic, and, you know, i drew a little bit from my friends' lives, no question about it. >> you've got some great friends, and you're right. we are so proud of linsey. so are there going to be some

other sunny summer reads? >> yes. yes, robin. thanks for asking that. well, harper collins was kind enough to give me a three-book deal, and so it's a trilogy, the summer series and i'm on about page 100 of "summer on sag." the next book is about sag harbor which is also -- there's an area, an african-american area. it's sag harbor area, and you'll see some of the characters and "summer on the bluffs" kind of pop up again, and i'm back creating a world and i'm really excited about it. >> i got to be careful what i say around you. i don't want to end up on print like linsey. >> you may see a little bit of robin roberts in this book. >> your son is about to go off to college, isn't he? >> he is. he is. he's on his way to harvard in the fall, but we're going to start in martha's vineyard, and

then i think he's going to take the ferry, and then we're going to drive over to cambridge from martha's vineyard. he still gets to enjoy his happy place, his birthday there, and off to college, robin. >> i love how you threw in harvard. i said college. you said, i want to make sure i got harvard in there, and rightfully so. rightfully so, sunny. i can't wait to see you and the ladies on "the view." you're always spilling the tea and mixing it up. we're so proud of you. >> that's right. >> thank you. i can't wait to complete -- like i said, six chapters in this weekend, and cannot wait to finish it. "summer on the bluffs," you got to wait until tomorrow. let's go back now to ginger again. ginger? >> reporter: oh, that makes me want to read it so bad. i can't wait. congrats to sunny, and i got to tell all of you, this is the first time my eyes have been open all weekend because my allergies were that bad. it is another beautiful spring morning right here in new york, but tucked in with all the gorgeous flowers, lots and lots of pollen. it is happening, guys. spring is in bloom, and it has

given me some of my worst allergies and i'm sure many of you. this segment is sponsored by zyrtec. i want you to look at this video. this is a pine tree in illinois. can you believe that is all pollen? liz posted the video with the caption, well, that explains my itchy eyes. she had a lot of hashtags including achoo and nature is brutal. i'm sorry to say, this is just the beginning. some species of pine trees can produce five pounds of pollen in just a few weeks. does not surprise me. liz, also you're not alone. much of the country going to have high tree pollen at least in numbers. not only today, but through this week. all right. i hope that brought you at least some information you could use. let's go good morning on this monday morning, a sunny start with warmer than average temperatures with 60s at the coasasasasasasasasasasasasasasas

so we're going to slowly -- we're slowly getting back into the swing of things, but are people really ready to trade in the sweatpants for real clothes? >> you know, i wasn't sure either, but a recent study in "the wall street journal" article was published saying that 20% of sales are up now, retail sale. i think there's a trend towards people getting rid of their clothing and getting into the great clothing that we all want to get back into. no more sweats. >> no more sweats, and we're going to get right into it because we have our models who also happen to be three "gma" producers. nicole, tori and tony. this first hot trend for women has some unexpected inspiration. dad jeans. we've seen them being worn by george clooney, jerry seinfeld and president obama has been caught out in the dad jeans. nicole is wearing dad pants.

tell us about that. >> yes. so we're just drawing inspiration from these guys. we're not actually wearing these. these are the dad pants, so again, drawing inspiration from the jeans and what i love about these is like we were saying, we have all been in sweats and our leggings and going right into a heavily tailored pair of pants that are really tight is scary for most of us. as you can see on nikki, they're tailored on top, and pleated on top so they have structure and form, not tight because they're loose and flowy through the leg. so you have a ton of style in your game, but you're not sacrificing on comfort at all, and here we styled it a little bit more elevated with a button-down blouse and a nice strappy heel, but you could do this more casually with a sandal or sneaker even, and these are from uniqlo and they're under $50. >> under 50 bucks. i like how you styled that. celebrities have embraced this trend. it's called joyful dressing. taylor swift did it on grammy night, gal gadot, gabrielle

union. it's about bringing joy to others with colorful patterns and prints. tori is modeling it for us this morning. tell us about her look. >> yes. so just like you said, we're all excited to sort of reemerge and get back out into the world, and our dressing is actually showing that. so every store right now that i go into is flooded with these bold, bright prints, these really fun, jovial prints, color, color, color, and here we did a lot of just anything goes. we're seeing a lot of that, so here we paired this great outfit together, and different prints on the top and bottom as you can see, but the way you make it stay together is by staying in the same tonal color family. so as long as you do that -- >> ah. >> -- you're good to go. i know this is not the easiest trend to pull off. so if you wanted to try it, i would say stick to one piece. do either a bright colored top or a fun print on your bottom and you'll be set. this whole look is actually from zara. >> tori is pulling it off. looks great. next up, tony is sporting a utility look, and "gq" named this as one of the top fashion

trends for men this year. we call tony gq here around "gma." tell us about tony's look. >> i agree with you. i texted him and said, is there anything that doesn't look good on you? he looks so cute. this is actually the utility look we were talking about, and it's all about that sort of refined, rugged look. lots of khakis, lots of taupes, lots of brands, and those big, oversized pockets that we're seeing. here he's wearing -- he's rocking it. he's wearing this great jacket from old navy under $70, and we paired it with this jacket underneath which is from h&m, which is white and crisp. i love the idea of pairing this utility trend with white because it just elevates it for spring and summer. just makes it feel crisp and modern. we gave him a great, white jean. i know there's a lot of talk about men wearing white jeans. i am all for it. i'm curious, michael. would you do the white jean? >> yeah, i would -- i do rock white jeans.

yeah. yeah. i do. i'm not afraid to step on out there. i just got to do the joyful dressing. i haven't done that one yet. i am curious. let's check with our models. will you all be rocking these looks for spring and summer? thumbs up. >> keeping these. >> tony is serving a lot of heat this morning. he's flicking his hair right into the camera. all of you look fantastic. thank you the three of you for being our models this morning. melissa, thank you as always for bringing us the latest fashion trends. we always appreciate you. >> oh, thanks so much. so good to be with you guys. >> all right. you too. we'll be right back, everybody.
