devastating train collapse. abc's kaylee hartung has the latest. good morning, kaylee. >> reporter: yeah, george. this morning in mexico city, officials are still trying to clear debris from the tragic scene and determine what caused the collapse of one of the busiest subway systems in the world last night. overnight, the horrifying moments caught on surveillance as a commuter train plunges into the busy traffic below. at least 23 dead including children and 65 others injured this morning. the chaos erupting at 10:30 p.m. as the train comes crashing down splitting into two leaving passengers stuck in the hanging train and one car buried beneath. family members of the trapped rushing to the scene. this man saying, my brother is still under the rubble. rescuers climbing through the twisted steel and shattered glass to help free those still inside, and crews using a crane to support the dangling train cars. ambulances and personal cars rushing nearly 70 wounded to the

hospital. the mayor speaking this morning saying, so far no more people have been found but rescuers still searching this morning. and mexico city's mayor says a support beam beneath the overpass gave way. but the cause of this collapse is still under investigation. today inspectors will be checking out the rest of that line. george. >> just a horrifying accident. thanks very much. michael. george, back here at home, severe weather has been wreaking havoc from texas to maryland and slamming the suth. steve osunsami on the ground in georgia with the latest. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. the winds were so strong they damaged several businesses in this area. people who wer i want to show you this is a streetlight that was pushed over by the high winds and take a look at what this looks like from the sky. you see the businesses that were damaged. the trees that were blown over and more than a dozen cars that

were destroyed. the severe weather cut through cities and kept people up all night from texas to maryland. the roads in texas, the rains were blinding and the winds were terrifying. the winds were so strong outside dallas they blew over two tractor trailers and the people who were hurt had to be rescued and then rushed to the hospital during the heavy rain. >> we knew that we had to help. we tried everything we can to get them out. >> reporter: our abc affiliate kamc in lubbock, texas, was on the air warning about the storm when they lost power. in arkansas, the failing power lines lit up in the storm. parts of the roof at the crawford county courthouse near ft. smith, arkansas, ripped right off. authorities this morning say that what happened here in kentucky was an ef-1 tornado that pulled up trees and damaged at least 30 homes. this driver was able to catch a piece of something that was flying through the air. in northeast virginia many lost power after seeing this massive

funnel cloud. the storms there were deadly. in georgia. two people were killed by falling trees. 90-mile-an-hour winds tossed this semi trailer on its side. a tree was wrapped up in sheets of metal. this is south fulton county, georgia. this kind of weather this time of year is a little unusual. the tornado season is usually wrapping up. but there is again another threat today and now there's also the concern of more scenes like this, trees that are knocked down over cars and the reason is because about 4 inches of rain fell yesterday. more rain is expected to fall today. the ground is already saturated which makes it a lot easier for the wind to pick up these trees and knock them over. robin. >> that is true, steve. thank you. we're going to bring in ginger now. she'll tell us where the storm is heading next. good morning, ginger. >> robin, good morning. nashville getting it this morning. severe thunderstorms through

central tennessee. there's a severe thunderstorm watch to huntsville, alabama but as steve was saying flash flood alerts. anywhere that's been saturated from southern mississippi to the florida panhandle and north georgia are included. any rain that falls on top of 3 to 5 that you've gotten may be a problem. as the atmosphere starts to open up we are really concerned about damaging wind. a lot of those problems, injuries and death, came from trees falling into homes and cars. all it takes is a 60, 65-mile-per-hour wind and you can do hat today. anywhere in the area, tupelo, montgomery, alabama, down to destin, florida, need to be on alert. >> a lot of concern, thank you. george. now to those hopeful signs about the pandemic. new york, new jersey and connecticut have all now announced plans to fully re-open as the number of americans who received at least one dose of the vaccine tops 147 million. stephanie ramos joins us from broadway which is set to light up again soon, good morning, stephanie.

>> reporter: george, good morning. here in new york in two weeks most of those pandemic-related capacity restrictions will be gone. pretty soon they'll be able to open their doors and light up their marquee. this morning, major re-openings across the country proving that summer could be close to normal. more than a year after covid hit, most pandemic-related capacity restrictions in the tri-state area will be lifted. new york and neighboring new jersey ending capacity restrictions for most businesses like bars, restaurants and gyms on may 19th. new york increasing limits for indoor and outdoor gatherings at concerts and sports venues. >> it is irrefutable when you look at the numbers that new yorkers have made tremendous progress. >> reporter: business owners looking forward to the change. >> the worst is over hopefully. >> reporter: connecticut taking similar steps easing restrictions and becoming the

first state to fully vaccinate 50% of adults. florida going even further, governor ron desantis suspending all covid local public health orders. >> folks that are saying that they need to be policing people at this point, if you're saying that you really are saying you don't believe in the vaccines. >> reporter: but just over 6 million out of more than 21 million floridians are fully vaccinated so far, some local officials say it's too soon to take those steps. >> it does not make sense to me as to how the governor has simply declared that the crisis is over. >> reporter: but the end of the pandemic may be in sight with the weekly case average nationwide dropping below 50,000 for the first time since october. but experts say the country may not reach herd immunity because of slowing vaccination rates and variants. president biden urging people to get vaccinated. >> this is a debate into what constitutes herd immunity, 70%, is it 68%, is it 81%?

my plea to everyone, get vaccinated now, please. thank you. >> reporter: the fda is expected to authorize emergency use of the pfizer vaccine for children as young as 12 years old and, george, that could come at any time. >> and stephanie, meantime, the pandemic continues to rage in india and this travel ban went into effect overnight which is going to have a huge effect on so many families. >> reporter: exactly, george, and americans are still allowed into the u.s. including legal u.s. permanent residents, spouses and close family members of u.s. citizens, and i want to let you know also that united and air india are still operating nonstop flights getting this information between india and the u.s. bringing those who are allowed in. for now we're told that will not be changing. george? >> stephanie ramos, thanks very much. michael. now to that bombshell announcement from bill and melinda gates splitting up after 27 years of marriage.

their oldest daughter taking to instagram shortly after the announcement saying, it's been a challenging stretch of time for the whole family. the couple an institution in philanthropy. their foundation giving away nearly $55 billion since its creation in 2000 towards initiatives like developing a vaccine for malaria and pledging nearly $2 billion to fight the coronavirus pandemic. what has the most pressing, urgent ned today? >> well, for me, it really is the women and girls piece, how do we empower women and girls if we want to have an equitable and just world. you need to empower them. >> reporter: bill gates co-founded microsoft in the 1970s and is now worth nearly $124 billion. melinda was by his side for most of it. they met in 1987 when melinda came to work for microsoft. the couple married in 1994 and today has three grown children.

melinda and bill say they will remain as co-chairs and trustees of their foundation. no changes are planned to their roles or their organization. as of now, they will continue to work together, they say, george. >> okay, thanks very much. we get the latest now on caitlyn jenner launching her bid for governor of california with a brand-new ad. the former olympian and reality tv star is giving abc a first look as she cooks under fire for a recent statement about transgender female athletes in school sports, and our chief white house correspondent jon karl has the story. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning. with a recall election now all but certain in california, caitlyn jenner is poised to be the most prominent republican on the ballot anywhere in the country this year and the most high-profile trans woman ever to run for political office. >> california needs a disrupter. a compassionate disrupter. >> reporter: this morning, reality tv star, gold medalist and activist caitlyn jenner is

kicking off her bid for governor of california. debuting her first campaign ad exclusively to abc news. >> california's facing big hurdles. now we need leaders who are unafraid to lead to new heights. >> he wants the world record. >> unafraid to challenge and to change the status quo. >> reporter: before coming out as a trans woman in 2015, jenner first found fame as an olympic athlete setting the world record in the decathlon but running as a republican to replace gavin newsom might be the most difficult competition jenner has ever faced. >> i don't care if you're a republican, democrat, i'm running to be governor for all californians. >> reporter: but days into her campaign, she's being accused

of transgender issues. telling tmz she supports barring trans female athletes from girls' sports in schools. >> this is a question of fairness. that's why i oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girls' sports in school. it just isn't fair. >> reporter: for any republican running for governor of california is a long shot, but the last republican to get elected governor was like jenner a celebrity, running in a runoff recall election, that was arnold schwarzenegger who was elected in a recall election nearly two decades ago. >> back in 2003. thanks very much. now to that 100-foot-tall chinese rocket threatening to crash somewhere here on earth over the coming days. will reeve joins us with the reality check on the potential danger. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning,

robin. if you're anywhere on a line of latitude between new york and beijing, all the way down to new zealand, keep an eye on the sky over the next few days because there is a 21-ton discarded chinese rocket orbiting our planet uncontrolled. it's likely to fall to earth soon and it launched last week as china builds its space station but instead of falling back down at a predesignated spot somewhere in the ocean, it's been circling out of control. no one knows where this thing is going to come down, it's 100 feet tall, that's 10 stories, 16 feet wide and when it does fall experts say most of it will burn up as it re-enter's earth atmosphere. large chunks of debris could make it all the way down to earth. keep in mind 70-plus percent of earth's surface is water but there is a chance it could fall somewhere where people live, robin. >> as you know this has happened before. >> reporter: yeah, last year. chinese rocket, this exact type

of rocket fell uncontrolled into the atlantic ocean. most of it did burn up as it re-entered the earth's atmosphere. experts say that this is dangerous, keep in mind, this is 20 tons and nothing heavier than 10 tons has ever fallen to earth in 30 years. >> okay, will, thank you. michael. >> just scared me. whoo. well, you want to be scared and you want to see a line of cars, orlando, florida, stretching for blocks, backing up traffic on monday, you know what it's all for, white castle, the famous burger chain opening its doors to its first dining room in florida since the 1960s. fans camped out for a taste of those signature square sliders. it is the largest white castle branch in the world and it will eventually operate 24 hours a day so if you're a fan and were disappointed because you only had a 60-slider per customer limit on monday. don't worry. 24 hours they'll open up and you

newark airport with more on all of this. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, robin, good morning. we should start out by saying the boy is okay this morning. but for his parents this was quite a scare. it happened in the blink of an eye. a 9-year-old boy climbing onto this airport luggage belt getting pulled inside seen in surveillance video obtained by npr news. the boy had wandered away from his family at the minneapolis airport on saturday afternoon and onto the baggage conveyer system. delta airlines staff immediately stopping the belt but the boy escaping onto another one. that eventually brought him to the screening area. he's then seen crawling out and jumping down. officials telling abc news airport police found the child who was uninjured in less than four minutes and returned him to his parents. an investigation is now under way. it's not the first time a child has gotten carried away at the airport. in 2019, this toddler went for a scary ride through the spirit airlines baggage system in atlanta.

>> i just went blank, i wanted to jump in and try to get him but they didn't allow me. >> reporter: 2-year-old lorenzo rode the conveyer through the system, climbing over bags, passing inside an x-ray machine and finally down a ramp into a large baggage screening room where tsa agents found him and called for help. he suffered cuts to his arm and a fractured hand. >> it's a dangerous condition, dangerous situation. it wasn't designed to have a human being conveyed throughout the airport. >> reporter: and, again, thank goodness that little boy now in this latest incident is okay. overnight, delta telling us it is reviewing this incident and they're working on ways to limit congestion at those ticket counters, guys. >> all right, gio, thank you. michael. now to the latest on that video sparking outrage in florida. a school principal spanking a 6-year-old with a paddle in front of the girl's mother who recorded the incident. that principal is now being investigated and we want to warn

you, the video is disturbing. t.j. holmes has the very latest. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: good morning to you. really, guys, depending on when, where and how you grew up, maybe you grew up around what you called a spanking or a whooping, or at school maybe it was a paddling, but what we're seeing in this video is being called something else. it's being called an assault on a 6-year-old child by her principal and now this video has brought a focus not just on this principal's behavior but on corporal punishment in this country. this disturbing video of a 6-year-old's punishment at school. >> no, put your hands down. >> reporter: has led to calls for an arrest. that's clewiston, florida, school principal melissa carter striking the little girl with a wooden paddle. the girl's alleged misdeed, scratching a school computer. in the video you can hear the principal chastising the child. >> you better be glad you're not my daughter because i would spank your butt all the time for acting like that and i wish you

would try to call the police on me. that's called being a brat. >> reporter: principal carter's assistant cecelia self, also seen in the video, tells the little girl how to stand. >> put it out. >> reporter: then three whacks from the principal. the girl crying and moving after the first. >> no. >> reporter: but then instructed to get back into position. the incident happened in april when the first grader's mother was asked to come to the school to pay $50 for the damage to the computer according to her lawyer who says the mother does not speak english. >> she said to me when this happened, i absolutely froze in fear. they have fears of deportation. i think the other part of it was she didn't know what the principal was allowed to do. >> reporter: corporal punishment is legal in 19 states including florida, but not allowed in the hendry county school district where it took place. the state attorney is reviewing the incident and the police are actively investigating. the department of children and families and the school district are also looking into it. >> if your mom wants to come up

to the school and spank you and we can watch that's going to happen. do you understand me? >> yes. >> reporter: now the principal is on administrative leave. the mom wants the principal charged with aggravated assault and wants her teacher's license taken away. the little girl did have bruising, having a difficult time sleeping but has left that school. people need to understand 19 states in this country do allow corporal punishment. the supreme court has ruled some 43 years ago that, in fact, this is a precedent. it is constitutional for there to be corporal punishment in schools, but overwhelmingly most states have banned it. as you saw on that map, most states do allow it are all for the most part in the south. >> that mom as she was watching had no idea? >> she had no idea what she was allowed to do. again, didn't speak english, frozen in fear, and so she pulled out her phone and secretly recorded and see what comes of it. >> t.j., thanks very much. coming up next,

after decades-long marriages. theirs is reportedly amicable but it will be costly. bill and melinda gates, billionaire power couple now calling it quits. a first step in what could be the most expensive divorce of al time. bill currently in the top five of the world's richest people is worth an estimated $124 billion. the couple is saying the marriage is irretrievably broken but the split is seemingly amicable. melinda hiring new york divorce attorney bob cohen, who previously represented mike bloomberg, ivana trump and uma thurman. assets include over 229 acres of farmland and several multimillion-dollar properties including an $8.7 million home in florida and the gates' largest home in washington worth $131 million. with a fortune amassed from the tech giant's role as co-founder of microsoft, the couple founded the bill and melinda gates foundation, spending a nearly $55 billion endowment across charitable sectors like global health, gender equality and

public policy. over a marriage spanning 27 years, the couple share three adult kids and several joint and individual ventures, in 2019 telling our "gma" audience the importance of balance. >> i think one of our biggest struggles in our marriage for us was how do we allocate our time between us and our three kids and busy lives, and what bill said, beautifully, i think it was really good. he realized it wasn't good for either of us to be the time cop even though i felt that way but that it's having shared goals. >> reporter: their split could play runner-up to the most expensive divorce settlement in history. in 2019, amazon ceo jeff bezos and mackenzie scott dissolved their 25-year marriage and mackenzie walking away with a 25% share of the amazon stocks with her share currently worth $36 billion. mackenzie donating more than $5 billion of her fortune in the

past year and after a drawn-out public battle in 2008 paul mccartney and heather mills settled for $48.6 million. still no match for media titan rupert murdoch, who's no stranger to divorces, split with his second wife in 1999 for $1.7 billion. now, if melinda gates ends up evenly splitting the fortune with bill gates that means she would receive around $65 billion and would put her second on that list. george. >> thanks. let's bring in david glass for more on this. david, washington is a community property state, but that doesn't necessarily mean that melinda gates gets half of all this, right? >> that's right. community property means property acquired during the marriage. so when they got married bill gates had already created microsoft and was their largest shareholder so not all of that money, not all those shares will be community property. that's a very complicated and complex calculation that has to be done. >> and when you look at the divorce petition what does it

say to you? i was struck by the line that said she's not asking for any support. >> that's right. it's pretty clear that they're both going to have more than enough to survive on and so she's not asking for any support but the important thing about the petition is that it's a joint petition which in washington state gives you the fast track to getting your divorce. once you've reached an agreement you can get your divorce in 90 days. >> so, look, but almost certainly this agreement has been locked up for quite some time, right? >> absolutely. they wouldn't have filed for the divorce, they wouldn't have filed in a joint fashion unless they already have a very complex agreement down on paper and inked. >> what about the impact on the microsoft stock? i know that the bezos divorce, they certainly were taking that into consideration as they announced their plans, they wanted to make sure it didn't tank which would hurt both. expect similar arrangements here? >> i'm not so sure. at this point his stock ownership is about 1% of the company and he hasn't been involved in microsoft. what i think is more important is their legacy.

in the public's eye they have this foundation, the largest charitable foundation in the world, doing all sorts of wonderful work, i think they'll be more concerned about how they look and how the work of their foundation looks to the public. >> so clear they put out a joint statement from the foundation. >> correct, and they've spent almost $2 billion on covid in the last year. they don't want to be caught arguing over who gets the grand piano in a court battle. >> you dealt with a lot of these cases. what are some of the surprising things these ultra rich couples face as they are going through divorce? >> with people who have ultra amounts of money, you can go one of two ways. either both parties can say there's more than enough money and we can split everything easily. on the other hand they can argue -- they can get down to arguing about who gets to keep this house versus that house. who gets to keep the stock account the same way a couple arguing over a 1981 vw rabbit and 401(k) and a house worth

pressure, which is basically telling young adults that if they don't cure a major disease in their middle school science project, they will be mediocre, and that's crushing. that makes them feel like they're not enough. we have such an intense impact of social media. they're getting a 24-hour supreme of the best version of everyone else's life and what they end up doing comparing how they feel inside to somebody's projected perfect image of their lives and finally, look, to be a young adult in a pandemic, during an economic crisis, there's so much fear and uncertainty about their financial future. it's all leaving young adults with a deep sense of stress. >> yeah, but how can gen z start to redefine what their best lives look like? >> so i think really focus on stuff that makes you feel good instead of how it looks to other people. right now, find something you can lose yourself in just for a little while and i'm not talking about netflix, something where you can just lose track of time and love doing it. we also know that from research

being engaged in giving, get involved in something bigger than yourself. ironically when you do that yourself will be happier and stop looking at your life as either i slayed and i succeeded or i failed. there's always going to be some meaning in the mess but you have to stop looking at life as a black and white thing. >> that's great advice right there. you're a young adult and just getting started then covid hits. what advice do you have? >> truly as middle-aged folks like ourselves we have to remember it's different for them. we have to teach these young adults to talk to themselves the way they would talk to people that they love because they can be so hard on themselves. there's so much stress right now, but we can help them by just being there. >> rachel simmons, thank you. we'll be right back.

♪ i like what i see when i'm looking at me when i look insid♪ we are bk th emmo serincomf best-selling book by the same name and adapting it for a younger generation with his new book, "uncomfortable conversations with a black boy." emmanuel, good morning.

welcome to gunman -- "gma." good to see you. >> strahan, what's the word? >> the worth is you. you are and this book. i have a question. why did you feel there was a need to adapt the book for children? >> it was imperative. if we want to change the tree, sure, we could cut down the branches and pluck the leaves, if you will, but address the roots is best, then as a youth. when i was in high school, bro, i often heard, emmanuel, you're too smart to be black or, emmanuel, you don't dress like i heard this, emmanuel, you're like an oreo, black on the outside, white on the inside. what i told the world of what i was hearing, members of the latinx community said, you're like a coconut, brown on the

outside, white on the inside, is what they heard. i said, if we can disarm racial insensitivity and before it becomes racism, we will be better as a society. >> hard to hear those things as an adult. hard to imagine as a kid. you talk about your experiences when growing up. a question from a teenager. take a look. >> hi, emmanuel. my name is jayson. i'm currently a freshman in high school. how does someone like me who goes to a predominantly white high school deal with racism when it comes to classmates making offensive jokes? >> jayson, one, thank you one for the boldness of asking that question. in all honesty i wish i would have asked that question when i was in high school because i had an identity crisis. i would deal with racism in a predominantly white high school like this, through education but not just of your students, the

peers, but teachers, advisers and would try to equip them with the tools so they can identify racism within themselves. i would tell you, jayson, the same thing i told to oprah when we spoke, denial don't even know i am lying, and so many people at your high school, jayson, probably don't even know they're lying about their own racial ignorance and racial insensitivity, so try to equip them and help them understand that you may not be racist but your racial insensitivity is emotionally wounding you, jayson, so do better about changing that. >> when should a parent have a conversation with race and racism with their children? >> such a great, great question. strahan, we have questions about religion, money, sex, but we don't necessarily have them about racism. understand this, you don't give all your children a cell phone at the same age. you don't teach them all how to drive at the same age. as you see them fit and mature to have those conversations do

it however. do not make your children out to be the scapegoat. ah, they're not ready so i won't talk about it when you, in fact, the adult aren't equipped to talk about it. don't use that as an excuse. there are now books, there have been books, "uncomfortable conversations with a black boy," another book, so parents don't use your children as a scapegoat. sure you arm and equip them to dismantle their own insensitivity and ignorance. >> we saw you step in to host "the bachelor," and it was a difficult conversation, a controversial season. the show still has a lot of work to do in terms of evolving. but will we see you again? >> strahan, hosting "the bachelor," the toughest thing i've done navigating racism and love. i'm hopeful. i think "the bachelor" has a lot to do on camera and behind the camera promoting diversity and

promoting equality, not just by having black leads and black contestan contestants, but telling better depictions of the variety of black stories, so hopeful, but you know me. strahan, i don't have hiring and firing power. i just pick up the phone when it ring. >> smart thing, don't worry about the rest, let them come to you. great seeing you this morning. emmanuel's new book, "uncomfortable conversations with a black boy," is out now. we'll be right back. majestic mountains... scenic coastal highways... fertile farmlands... there's lots to love about california. so put off those chores and use less energy from 4 to 9 pm when less clean energy is available. because that's power down time.
