the attempted highway heist caught on camera. bullets pummeling this armored truck. the guards escaping at high speed. all happening during this man's fourth day on the job. boy, you said it. that driver was in control. >> he knew what he was doing. good morning, america. we hope you're doing well this wednesday morning. the country is doing pretty well. we continue to make progress on the pandemic. president biden has laid out a new goal to make sure 70% of american adults have at least one dose by july 4th. just over 56% now. also making progress with younger americans, the fda is poised to offer the pfizer vaccine for 12-year-old to 15-year-olds. pfizer's aiming to have the vaccine ready for children under 12 by september. >> and that could make a big difference for kids this fall in school. we're going to talk live with

nih director dr. francis collins in a moment. but first, whit johnson joins us live from a mass vaccination site in white plains, new york. good morning, whit. >> reporter: robin, good morning. this next phase of the rollout presents a new set of challenges, the infrastructure is already in place but demand has dropped considerably. president biden acknowledging that these next two months are pivotal if we hope to win our independence from the virus. president biden laying out his administration's newest goals in the fight against the coronavirus getting 70% of adults at least one dose of vaccine and 160 million fully vaccinated by july 4th. >> that means giving close to 100 million shots, some first shots, other second shots, over the next 60 days. >> reporter: the new phase focusing on three areas. adding more vaccine locations, increasing confidence in the shots and getting children between the ages of 12 and 15 vaccinated. the fda could expand emergency use authorization of the pfizer

vaccine for that age group in the coming days. >> they're not yet eligible for the vaccine. the fda scientists are currently reviewing the data to decide, if and when, to authorize that age range for vaccinations. if that announcement comes, we're ready to move immediately. >> reporter: pfizer announcing tuesday it hopes to have enough data from several clinical trials to request authorization for children 2 years old to 11 years old in september and children as young as 6 months in november. 14-month-old nathan was part of the trial and has already gotten his first shot. his mother says he's doing great. >> we're very proud of him. i hope when he looks back he'll feel proud of himself. >> reporter: and for the first time the white house is changing the way it distributes vaccines to the states. the allotment was previously based on population but now if one state declines doses, that supply could be shifted to another state that wants more. george?

>> okay, whit, thank you very much. let's bring in the director of the nih dr. francis collins. we talked about the progress at the top of the program but also appear to be hitting a wall on vaccinations bumping up against the number of people who are willing to take -- getting to the more resistant right now. how do we break through that wall? >> well, good morning, george. i think we need to listen to what the concerns are of people who are still on the fence and those concerns ought to be addressed carefully and we shouldn't slip into this zone of somehow blaming people who haven't signed up yet to roll up their sleeves. we need to answer those questions. one of the things i would encourage people to go and look at is this new covid-19 community core. if you just google on the phrase we can do this, you can look and see. the information is there. 400 or more organizations have joined, most of them community organizations, organizations of doctors. that ought to give you a lot of confidence that it's not just government people like me that are advocating for this.

it is, in fact, the whole country that needs this. we're in this together. we americans are pretty good at doing things together once we get that calling. so have a look at that and if you're one of those people waiting, maybe it's time to look at the evidence and decide whether it's time to just go forward and be part of this solution. that's what the president is calling us to do, to get 70% of americans with at least one dose by july 4th. we could do that. >> looks like we're heading toward approval for administering the vaccine to adolescents 12 to 15-year-olds. how big a difference will that make? what do you say to parents of those 12-year-olds to 15-year-olds? >> one of those is my granddaughter, and i can tell you there is a lot of excitement in michigan about the idea that the fifth of my five grandchildren will be eligible if fda goes ahead with this emergency use authorization. obviously this is going to be really important for the fall. high school kids in particular are known to be just about as susceptible and just about as

good as passing along this virus as other young adults and it will be really great to get that immunization schedule going well in advance of september. i'm certainly hopeful the fda, when they look at all the data, will judge this to be safe and effective and give a green light and as you heard from the president, the u.s. is ready to go in terms of making those available and, again, look at the data that's been out there now in other situations and will be released in this case. it's remarkable how safe and effective these messenger rna vaccines have been. that's what the pfizer vaccine is. so, i think, parent, get informed, look at the information, make a decision. probably your teenager wants to be part of that decision and i think the evidence will lead you in the direction of saying, yeah, let's get immunization out there. let's get this behind us. >> the evidence says that the vaccines are effective for about six months, for at least six months. what do we know about whether

booster shots will be necessary? >> we really don't know, george. the reason for booster shots could be one of two things. one is that the immunization fades over time. as you've said, we have very good, encouraging information that it's good for at least six months, and that's about all the time we have been able to observe this since it is such a new pandemic. the other question is these variants that we're worried about. if variants emerge for which the vaccine no longer provides adequate protection, then it might be necessary to offer people boosters that would protect you against the new version of this covid-19 virus. we hope that won't be necessary and just to encourage everybody right now, the vaccines that are currently being distributed in the u.s. work for all the variants that we are seeing in the country. so we're not ready to go there, but we have to be prepared and, if it's going to be necessary, be sure we've taken appropriate steps to get ready. >> doctor, thanks for your time and information. michael? >> thank you, george. now to the latest on that deadly train disaster in mexico

killing at least 24 and injuring dozens. residents there demanding answers saying it was no accident, but instead corruption. marcus moore is on the ground in mexico city with more. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: well, michael, good morning. it is the horrible scene behind me and the loss of life here that has upset so many people here in mexico city and from the air you can see they have removed the two subway cars. it's a striking view of what is left. this morning, new images showing the extent of the damage after two packed train cars plummeted onto the busy road below leaving at least 24 people dead. 79 rushed to the hospital and children a >> reporter: residents taking to the streets of mexico city, calling for justice after monday night's deadly subway overpass collapse. according to the mayor, a support beam buckled as the

train was passing by. these haunting images of the tragedy captured by cctv. now those people desperate to find their loved ones, demanding answers. they say it is not an accident and it's corruption. [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: a volunteer searcher told me he has never witnessed a scene like this saying, it is very sad every time there is a loss of life, it gets to you. no matter how prepared you are or how accustomed you are to it, the loss or suffering of a person still hurts you. another look this morning at the devastation here, what we heard from people who live in this area as bad as this was, if it happened during the day, robin, they say it would have certainly been even worse. >> oh my goodness. marcus, thank you. now to that deadly weather hammering the south, especially alabama with torrential storms,

prompting water rescues and more severe weather is on the way. elwyn lopez is on the ground in georgia with the latest for us. good morning, elwyn. >> reporter: good morning, robin. people here in parts of georgia are waking up to what the storm has left behind. take a look at this tree with the soil already saturated. the heavy rain toppling trees like this one across the region. the latest rounds of storms hammering the southeast. overnight, a flash flood emergency in alabama. >> i am in the middle of the lake. >> reporter: torrential rains hammering the south. cars completely submerged. rescuers are pulling more than 20 people from this apartment complex outside birmingham. >> i got you. >> reporter: rains causing a nearby creek to overflow and firefighters fighting to save alexander city church that is believed to have been struck by lightning in last night's storm. and in mississippi -- >> we are actually in the tornado. >> reporter: -- a driver coming incredibly close to a tornado as it cut across the interstate. while strong winds ripped apart this canopy at a car wash near

jackson. our jackson affiliate wapt capturing power flashes near the state capital. while the worst of the storm is over it is now headed toward the east and gulf coast. the biggest threat damaging winds. robin? >> we'll talk about that, elwyn. thank you. we go to ginger where the severe weather is headed next, she's going to tell us. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: robin, the imminent danger this morning, pensacola included in it. flash flood warning there, there parts of the western half of the florida panhandle that have had more than a half foot of rain already and there's more to come, so some places could end up with eight-plus inches. that will be a problem if you had plans to drive this morning. please, if you're in the warning and you can delay your travel, do that. from hammond, louisiana, through new orleans over through mobile, pascagoula and all the way into the florida panhandle you're in that flash flood alert. as the storms move east damaging winds could be possible to the mid-atlantic. >> ginger, thanks very much.

we go to washington now and the battle is breaking out inside the republican party leadership. congresswoman liz cheney is under fire from fellow republicans for refusing to back president trump's false claims about the election. house gop leader kevin mccarthy complained about her on a hot mic fueling calls for her ouster and our congressional correspondent rachel scott has all the latest. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning. this is the clearest sign yet that her days in party leadership could be numbered. house republican leader kevin mccarthy saying flat out he's had it with congresswoman liz cheney. making it clear he's lost confidence in congresswoman cheney. >> i think she's got real problems. i've had it with her. i've lost confidence. >> reporter: that audio obtained by "the daily caller" and comes just 24 hours after blasting president trump. cheney tweeting this, the 2020 election was not stolen. anyone who claims it was is

spreading the big lie, turning their back on the rule of law and poisoning our democratic system. it's not the first time cheney has taken on trump. she was the highest ranking republican that voted to impeach accusing the former president of provoking the mob that stormed the capitol on january 6th. and she's faced fierce backlash for it. few in the party have come to her defense. senator mitt romney who voted to convict trump tweeting his support saying, every person of conscience draws a line beyond which they will not go. liz cheney refuses to lie. and cheney's office telling me that this comes down to one thing, whether the republican party will continue to push lies about the 2020 election, michael, she is not backing down. >> definitely not, rachel, thank you so much. now to the first family reunited at the border under the biden administration after being separated by president trump's zero tolerance immigration policy, more than three years ago.

chief white house correspondent cecilia vega has more. >> reporter: this is the moment sandra ortiz sees her son for the first time in more than three years and this is their very first hug. it's all happening at the very same california port of entry where they and thousands of other families just like theirs were forcibly separated under the trump administration's policy aimed at deterring illegal immigration. sandra who fled mexico in the face of threats from cartels was deported without her son. bryan, just 15 at the time, was sent to a shelter and then to live with older siblings in california. now they are together again and family members carrying signs saying the wait was worth it. i love you. >> it feels like a dream. i was in the car and, like, is this really happening. >> reporter: they are the first family to be reunited under the biden administration. this video taken by advocates who helped organize the reunion. in some cases it has taken years

to locate these parents in mexico and central america. the biden white house says the trump administration left them with little to no information about many of the families. to this day there are still more than 400 children whose parents have yet to be located. bryan, an app student, graduated school a year early and speaks fluent english and he had just a few minutes to say good-bye saying they would never see each other again. he has dreamed of this moment. >> i was talking to her on the phone and everything, but still seeing her in person, being able to give her a hug and everything. >> does it feel like a dream? >> yes. >> end of a nightmare? >> yes. >> reporter: so there are four families being reunited this weekend, them including bryan's are being granted a temporary humanitarian protection status. that means they can stay in the country for now. advocates say they should be granted permanent protection

because of all the trauma they've been through. bryan wanted to enroll in college but he couldn't afford it and couldn't get scholarships so he's working with these immigrant groups that helped reunite these families, and he wants to help other families just like his. >> those reunions. cecelia, thank you. now to that high-speed heist caught on camera. guards carrying high value cargo in south africa attacked by would-be robbers with ak-47s who tried to hijack that vehicle. t.j., share that those details. >> i don't want you to look but listen as it rolls. roll it for me. everybody listen. you are -- yes, you are seeing but hearing them being shot at in south africa. a driver and his partner in this armored vehicle. this goes on for several minutes. you see the glass shatter. the bulletproof glass does hold up.

the rifle comes out eventually and the driver actually gets ahead of the robbers, stops, gets out with the rifle and waits on them. now, the would-be robbers did not show up. they took off, they were not caught. george, i heard you mention. the damaget driver is. he is a former member of a special task force that deals with counterterrorism. he is trained for this. his partner, only his fourth day on the job. we don't know if he showed up for his fifth day, but that was his deal. they rehearsed. they practiced this and it paid off. >> he didn't know he was riding with liam neeson either. his partner was ready. >> thank you, t.j. we have a lot more coming up including the legal team for derek chauvin asking for a new trial. it's an expected move and it comes as this juror shows up in a black lives matter t-shirt. now ginger. >> george, sunny cities >> george, sunny cities sponsored by amazoalex

emerged showing him wearing a black lives matter t-shirt at a rally last summer raising questions of impartiality. abc's t.j. holmes joins us with more. >> potential jurors were asked in their questionnaire this question, were you or anyone you know participate in a rally having to do with police brutality or use of force? this juror answered no. the photo of him was at a rally that was specifically called the get your knee off our necks march. that has raised questions now about impartiality and now, the attorneys for derek chauvin are saying that trial we all watched live wasn't a fair one. derek chauvin wants a new trial. the legal team for the convicted murderer made the request in a court motion saying chauvin convicted last month in the killing of george floyd did not get a fair trial citing multiple grounds including jury misconduct. this comes amid new questions about juror brandon mitchell and

this photo which has been circulating on social media. mitchell is seen wearing a black lives matter hat and a shirt with a picture of dr. martin luther king jr. that says get your knee off our necks. that image has raised questions about his impartiality. mitchell tells "the star tribune" his uncle posted the photo last august after commemorating mlk's "i have a dream" speech. and he did not view it as a march for george floyd or against police brutality. mitchell says he was honest during jury selection when asked about his opinions of protests and black lives matter. this is how mitchell responded at the time. >> black lives matter is just a statement. people of black pigment, their lives matter. >> reporter: in its filing, chauvin's legal team says the former officer deserves a new trial, saying,

he was denied a change of venue and the court failed to sequester the jury and media attention prevented a fair trial and publicity was so pervasive and prejudicial it amounted to a structural defect. mitchell said none of this had influence on the deliberations or the verdict. >> we didn't watch the news. we were really locked in on the case and then with so much stress coming from the case, i mean, those things are so secondary because you're literally throughout the trial you're watching somebody die on a daily basis. so that stress alone is enough to take your mind away from whatever is going on outside of the four walls of the courtroom. >> so the family's $27 million settlement with the city, the killing of daunte wright which wasn't far from the city of minneapolis, all of those things, stra, also are being cited as reasons for a new trial. >> all right, thank you, t.j. let's bring in abc news chief legal analyst dan abrams along with channa lloyd from the

cochran firm. dan, i want to start with you, and i just want to ask could this photo, the juror's presence at that rally could that help chauvin's defense on appeal? >> well, it certainly could help their argument that there was this sort of pervasive sense out there of what the verdict ought to be, that it was a foregone conclusion and that he couldn't get a fair trial. but specifically on this issue, the legal question is going to be, did he lie? did he know that his answer was not true when he was asked that question about have you attended any protests on police brutality or did he think that this really was a more commemoration of dr. martin luther king? regardless, this is an uphill battle for the defense. you don't want to be if you're the defendant in this position making this kind of appeal with these kinds of arguments. but, look, juror misconduct is always a serious issue and it will be taken seriously by an appellate court. >> channa, how significant do you think this is? >> i think in the overall grand

scheme i don't think it's going to be significant. the only thing that can make it significant is when judge cahill likely if he brings him for further questioning if they find any area where he may have told something false or if he lied directly, then this becomes significant. but just going to a march wearing the t-shirt in and of itself is not significant. >> dan, you say there are other questions on his questionnaire that could actually help the prosecution? >> yeah, when the defense asked him specifically about black lives matter his answer was that he had a very favorable impression of them. that's important. because if he had said, no, i'm neutral or i have no position on it and then this t-shirt appeared, that could seem to show that he lied. the fact he said he had a very favorable impression supports his position that he was trying to tell the court the truth. >> channa, chauvin's attorneys filed that motion a new trial yesterday, which was expected. do you think they have a case? >> looking over that motion, i don't see that they have the

strength of the case to overturn this conviction. the bar is a little bit too high, i think, when it comes to the juror misconduct when you talk about other factors he listed. they were going to be present no matter where this jury was seated. so i don't see where they're going to get an overturn in this particular matter or a new trial. >> the defense, they're going to point to other factors, the multimillion-dollar settlement with george floyd's family, the jury not being sequestered, the shooting of daunte wright. the question i pose to you both, could this new information push their argument over the top? >> yeah, i don't think so. i agree with channa that i think that these are very typical arguments made. this is not a typical case but these are not surprising arguments. again, to win a new trial is a big deal. it's a big hurdle to overcome and thus far, based on the arguments we've seen, i think they have a seriously uphill battle. >> channa, what do you think?

>> i absolutely agree with dan. they have a huge uphill battle. no matter where it was moved publicity would be the same. there wasn't a state that wasn't aware of what was happening. i think the bar is set so high that i don't see the likelihood of it being a mistrial. dan and channa, thank you for joining us. george? now to new details about bill and melinda gates' multibillion-dollar divorce and news from the start of their marriage. amy has more on that. good morning, amy. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is, of course, one of the richest couples in the world, worth nearly $130 billion, and now we are getting a closer look inside their marriage and a sense of how that money may be divided. this morning, we're hearing from melinda gates for the first time since that bombshell breakup announcement in a prerecorded interview with "the financial times" released overnight about vaccines for the developing world. >> i think you should vaccinate up to a point and you hit a certain age population where you

say, okay, we're going to pause and make sure that we then put both money and extra supply on the global market. >> reporter: bill and melinda gates' 27-year marriage is irretrievably broken according to melinda's filing and while their $124 billion didn't have a prenup they have already signed a separation agreement specifying that spousal support is not needed. >> when we first met, she had other boyfriends and i had microsoft. >> will the real bill gates -- >> reporter: a 2019 netflix docu-series called "inside bill's brain" delved into their relationship, melinda describing how the tech titan weighed his options before committing to marriage. >> one day i walked in his bedroom and a whiteboard had the pros and cons of getting married. >> reporter: in a "time" magazine profile of bill, he described his close relationship with ex-girlfriend venture capitalist ann winblatt, when i was off thinking about marrying melinda i called ann and asked

for her approval. the two continued their friendship four years taking annual beach vacations together with melinda's approval. >> bill and melinda did tie the knot in 1994 and went on to have three children together and forming the bill & melinda gates foundation. for now the exes say they will remain co-chairs of the charitable foundation although some believe melinda's role could expand in the future. >> now the gates foundation's assets are $50 billion. that's one of the largest private philanthropic organizations in the world. one interesting note, bill's lawyer represented mackenzie scott in her divorce from jeff bezos and one of melinda's lawyers previously represented bezos so i don't know. >> all the experts. >> they're used to this i guess. >> a lot going on. >> thank you, amy. coming up, this close call at a beach in hawaii. a 6-year-old running away from a shark just in time. come on back.

with you. you know, i tend to pick jobs throughout my career where i can maximize my ability to have impact on the audiences. so, you know, as you noted i started my career as a trial attorney, then i went to cable news and broadcast and talk radio and, you know, it just kind of made sense to reach the massive and compelling audience of the cultural juggernaut of "real housewives." >> the tag lines are my favorite. they're phone for it. yours is i've worked hard -- i've worked twice as hard for half as much but now i'm coming for everything. what do you mean by this? >> well, you know, michael, here's a black woman in america, i'm sure you can understand as a marginalized person in america, period, there is an expectation of overexcellence that we have to measure up to and, listen, it's something my mother gloria raised me with to work twice as hard. never be afraid of hard work actually and i think i've always

measured my expectations and now i'm over that, michael. i'm coming for it all. i want the successful career, i want the family. i want love, i want children, i want the husband, i want everything. >> and why do you think it took 13 seasons to cast a black woman? >> well, that's a question probably best answered by bravo but i loved roni and watched all 12 seasons and now we're on 13. listen, i think i believe in divine timing. i'm a woman of faith. you know, there's so many incredible black women that could have taken on this position so i'm really honored that the network chose me to give this responsibility to and i can tell you i'm definitely here to seize this moment. >> i think they got the perfect one for it right now and one of the clips we see you, you're wearing the shirt with the names of the central park five wrongfully accused of assault in 1989. was that simply an outfit choice or sending a message with this

new platform you have. >> yeah, that sweatshirt was a play out of my big pretty powerful where i really take on very intentionally around the power of the aesthetic so when production told us we were filming a scene in central park i had to bring the central park five with me and now the exonerated five to pay homage to the legacy of what, you know, our people have gone through in the city. >> have you had any uncomfortable moments on the show where race played a factor? >> of course, you're going to definitely see that play out throughout the season and, listen, that was one of the challenges that made me excited about this opportunity, you know, i am somebody that really runs towards growth opportunitiesnd to elevate and change and that includes for me not just my castmates and so we'll have those uncomfortable conversations and i think we're all going to be better off for it. >> important conversation to have. did anyone in the reality verse

reach out before you started and what advice were you given before you took the role? >> yeah, so my big sister in s from "married to medicine atlanta," such an inspiration to me and the black excellence they represent and she told me just to remember that you can't please all the people all the time, mike. you know, you have to stay true to yourself and to show up with authenticity and that's really the name of the game. >> 100% correct and continue to do that, please, we'll be watching and eboni k. williams, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you, michael strahan. >> "the real housewives of new york city" airs tuesdays on bravo. now we go to ginger. >> and, michael, we had a big day in the weather world. noaa released our new normal, the census data but for meteorologists and climatologists. what came up in the last ten years because we do it every
