away, but we begin with a new tropical threat this morning. ana has become the first named storm this year well ahead of the official hurricane season. >> that's as an already-drenched gulf coast is now expecting more rain along with powerful wind gusts. >> and this is less than a day after a portable dam breached in louisiana with officials calling for the evacuation of hundreds of homes there. rob is here with the latest on the severe weather and what we can expect in the coming hours. rob, good morning. >> here we are still at may and we have not one but two tropical disturbances and now a newly named subtropical storm ana. the seventh year in a row we've had a named storm before the hurricane season has started. northeast of bermuda by 200 miles. it's spinning at about 45 miles per hour and will drift and then eventually dissipate so shouldn't be much of a problem. it is bringing waves and rip cuen parts thet coast. sheth andt c saw over 18, 20 inches in spots. they had a dam breach earlier

and across the basin and this is downstream of that. and in texas you have seen 18 inches of rain in spots and this tropical disturbance probably not going to be named. will bring more rainfall, three to five expected here so do expect more flooding. >> rob, thank you. a lot to watch for. we'll turn to a deadly road rage shooting that killed a 6-year-old boy on a freeway in california. the shooter is still out there and the boy's family is calling for the public to help this morning, and janai has much more on this story. >> reporter: this morning, a grieving family's desperate plea for help finding the driver who police say shot and killed 6-year-old aiden leos in a violent road rage incident. >> please help us find the people that did this to my little brother. >> reporter: authorities say the boy's mother was driving him to school friday morning along california's 55 freeway, leos was riding in a booster seat in the back when a road rage incident escalated and another driver pulled a gun.

>> there's one bullet shot in the trunk that went through the trunk and right through my nephew. >> reporter: in an emotional press conference, aiden's sister recalling the little boy telling his mother he was in pain. >> mommy, my tummy hurts. so she went and she picked him up, and he was bleeding on her. >> reporter: as a memorial of stuffed animals and balloons grows on a highway overpass honoring aiden, his family devastated by his senseless death. >> he's only 6, and he was so sweet. he was a very, very loving boy. >> just a few days ago aiden and his family were celebrating his birthday. authorities are hoping someone driving on the freeway friday morning maybe had a dash cam and captured the white sedan possibly a volkswagen that they're looking for. eva. >> just a heartbreaking story. hard to watch, janai. now to the latest the pandemic. nearly 128 million americans are fully vaccinated. that's almost 39% of the total population, but vaccinations are

slowing. abc's elwyn lopez is at cdc headquarters in atlanta with a look at falling transmission rates in nearly half the country and the broadening efforts to re-open in more parts of the u.s. good morning, elwyn. >> reporter: eva, good morning. nearly half of the country is seeing low to moderate transmissions of the virus but vaccination rates are dropping and now states are pulling out all the stops to try to turn that around. this morning, new covid cases across the country nose-diving to its lowest levels yet for the first time in nearly a year. >> as more and more people roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated, the number of cases and the level of community risk is decreasing. >> reporter: the cdc unveiling two maps with the dramatic dip in cases and hospitalizations. the color red marking high levels of infection, a stark contrast between january 2nd and just three days ago, but florida is one of the states still reporting hundreds of deaths every week. parts of that state now seeing younger people hospitalized.

>> the people that are coming to us now with a need to be hospitalized are more middle age or younger that have chosen not to get vaccinated. a lot of them are sharing their regrets with us, that they wish they had been vaccinated because they had no idea it could be this bad. >> reporter: meanwhile, in california, one of the largest hospitals in the bay area hitting a milestone. its first time in more than a year with no covid patients. >> i did have tears in my eyes. it feels like a milestone. there are zero transmissions at san francisco general. >> reporter: this as the golden state is dropping social state is -- distancing measures on june 15th but it's not a green light. indoor venues with more than 5,000 people will require proof of vaccination or a negative covid test, and in oregon, officials are offering up a cash prize to those with at least one shot. >> how about a chance to win a million dollars? take your shot, oregon. >> reporter: here at the cdc, a

report found that georgia elementary schools with mask mandates resulted in lower covid infections. this as one of the state's most populous school districts is set to ditch mask mandates altogether starting june 1st. whit. >> all right, elwyn, thank you so much. for more now we're joined by dr. anthony fauci, chief medical adviser to president biden. good morning to you. thanks for joining us on a saturday. i want to start with the positive here. the daily average of new cases dropping below 30,000, that's the lowest in nearly a year, but where do we need to be before we can declare an end to the pandemic, and how soon do you think we can get there? >> well, hopefully in the next month or so we'll get there. the goal of president biden is to get 70% of the adult population vaccinated with at least one dose by the fourth of july. i believe that's an attainable goal, and as we know, the more people that get vaccinated the larger degree of diminution of

daily cases, which we're already seeing. the cases right now are the lowest they've been in quite a while, but we still have a ways to go. we really want to get more than 70% of the population vaccinated. the goal is by july 4th, but we won't even surpass that because we know when we do get to that point of the overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated, you're going to see an even greater decline to the point where the cases on a daily basis are not of any concern, and we could really start getting back to the normality that we all crave. >> just to clarify, when you said maybe in the next month or so we'll get there, are you saying end of pandemic or something closer to herd immunity? >> well, again, we don't know what the exact trigger point of the number or the percentage of people who are both vaccinated and/or recovered from infection and thereby protected, because we don't have that long experience with this particular

virus, whereas with viruses like measles, we know really exactly what that number is because of decades and decades of experience, so rather than focus on what that number, what that percentage is, just keep going and getting as many people vaccinated as you can and then you will see that number of cases per day will go down to a very low level. >> just to switch gears here, hoping you can give us a reality check on booster shots. both pfizer and moderna this week said some people might need booster shots as early as this fall. how likely is that? >> you know, we don't know the answer to that. i mean, the reason they're saying that is because we are all preparing for the possibility or eventuality that we may need to boost people to keep the level of protection, which we know right now is very, very good, in the real world, the protection and effectiveness is extraordinary. we don't know how long it will

be until that level of protection diminishes low enough that you'd want a boost. i mean some could surmise, say, well, it's eight months, a year, a year and a half. we don't know, and i think the confusion is when people say we may need to give a boost in six months or so, that's purely a conjecture. >> in the meantime, there is still a lot of confusion over the latest mask guidance, especially schools, businesses and upcoming summer camps, what should they do about masks? >> you know, first of all, you have to take what the recommendation of the cdc is, a week or so ago, they made a recommendation and a guideline that if you're fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask either outdoors or indoors because the level of protection that we know now from data that's accumulated over the last few weeks is extraordinarily high, and it's extraordinarily unlikely that even if you do get

infected asymptomatically, you would not transmit it to someone else, yet, since there are so many people who are still unvaccinated, when you have enterprises or stores or businesses that want to open up, they don't know since we don't have so-called passports to document that you've been is walking into their know who- establishment. there will be vaccinated people, unvaccinated people. there may even be people who don't know it but are infected and may transmit it to others, so, therefore, what we're seeing is that certain establishments are saying, notwithstanding the guideline and recommendation for vaccinated people, if you're going to come into my establishment, the rule is you are going to have to wear a mask because i can't distinguish between who is vaccinated and who is not. >> dr. fauci, we appreciate your time. overnight united, delta and

american are resuming flights to tel aviv. in israel. a tenuous cease-fire held overnight despite clashes a flash point and abs sque often gutman right there on the ground in gaza with the latest news and a look at the destruction left behind after 11 days of conflict. matt, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, you mentioned flights resume tock israel's main airport. life also springing back here. so many folks in the streets just trying to get out after being locked in for about 12 days since the conflict began. can still see some significant destruction behind me. at this point the cease-fire has been in effect for 36 hours or so and it was rattled but not broken by those clashes outside the al aqsa mosque. this morning, despite clashes in the temple mount between the

two sides, the cease-fire is holding. thousands of palestinians gathering for friday prayers at the site holy to jews and muslims that started with taunts and shouts and degraded into the kind of clashes that triggered this 11-day conflict with israeli police deploying stun grenades and firing rubber bullets. late friday, president biden saying he hopes the cease-fire holds and weighing in on the jerusalem clashes that ignited the conflict. >> i also indicated to the israelis that i thought it was very important that they stop in jerusalem this intercommunal fighting that is by extremes on both sides. >> reporter: meanwhile, gaza creaking back to life. traffic snarling roads battered by bombs. palestinians moving around freely for the first time in nearly two weeks. this family taking us up to their apartment. they said they were sleeping in this room when the bombs hit blowing out that wall. we're told that about 50 people lived in this building. right here you can see the bloodstains from where people tried to escape bleeding as they went out. now where we are here is one of the most densely populated

places on earth. when you come up here to this blown off facade, you can see the extent of the damage here from those missiles. nearly every home you see destroyed. about 70,000 remain bombed out of their homes, but the quiet allowing hamas to bury its militants and civilians to mourn the dead. a full week after his wife and four sons were killed in an air strike, among the 63 palestinian children killed in the conflict, mohamed hadidi opening the customary funeral tent here in gaza. he thought his whole family was killed, but his 5-month-old omar had survived. on friday, he held his dozing boy in his arms kissing his head. [ speaking foreign language ] >> repter:edlie omar is his whole world.s he wao have a beautiful life without bombings. and there's been some intense diplomacy. egyptian mediators have been shuttling between israeli officials and hamas officials

trying to hammer out the final details of that cease-fire and trying to ensure that it holds. to that end, secretary of state blinken said that he will also be traveling to the region in the coming days. eva. >> matt gutman for us there in gaza. at the white house president biden told reporters he is committed to helping gaza rebuild and that he hopes for a two-state solution long term. but this last week has shown some divisions in the democratic party. let's get more from white house correspondent maryalice parks. >> reporter: president biden holding firm friday downplaying public disagreements with progressives in his party over the united states' support of the israeli government. >> do you recognize that there's been a shift, an evolution in your party, mr. president, in the last 20 years on this issue? >> there is no shift in my commitment to the security of israel. but i tell you what there is a shift in, we still need a two-state solution. >> reporter: this week, the president facing pressure from members of his own party to do more to help palestinians. senator bernie sanders

introducing a resolution to block the sale of arms and defense equipment to israel. the white house said it had no plans to change security assistance to israel. the president sidestepping saying he was committed to working with other nations to bring aid to civilians in gaza. >> they need the help, and i'm committed to get that done. my party still supports israel until the region says unequivocally they acknowledge the right of israel to exist as an independent jewish state, there will be no peace. >> reporter: the fighting abroad consuming much of the week but the president still moving ahead too with negotiations over infrastructure spending. yesterday, countering republicans with a second proposal priced around 1.7 trillion down from 2.2 trillion. the white house had said they hope to make real progress on that infrastructure deal by memorial day. but yesterday republicans on capitol hill seemed discouraged

by the president's latest offer. west virginia senator shelly capito who's been involved in the back and forth said she thought the two parties were even further apart and the president's counteroffer was well above what they had hoped for. >> maryalice, our thanks to you. we turn to the legal battle over apple's iphone app store. ceo tim cook testifying in one of the final days of the trial. abc's deirdre bolton explains the money at stake in this case and what the ruling could mean for iphone users. >> reporter: this morning, a legal showdown. apple facing off against epic games, the creators of fortnite. for the first time apple ceo tim cook appearing in federal court defending his company's app store practices which the fortnite creators claim are unfair. and while tim cook is no stranger to appearing before lawmakers and shareholders, the

billionaire grilled by judge yvonne gonzalez rogers. >> she had a lot of very specific questions about competition. >> reporter: epic games is now suing apple for what it calls price gouging and monopolistic practices at apple's app store with the tech giant charging like other companies developers' fees for selling games and other apps. >> i think the case is about the power that apple wields. >> reporter: after creators dropped fortnite from the app store, apple countersued for breach of contract insisting the lawsuit is a public relations pleau by epic to squeeze out a better deal from apple. cook testifying control of the app store is essential for consumers' security and privacy saying, it would be a toxic mess without apple's rules. the judge will decide whether epic games' argument is strong enough to force apple to install alternative app stores on the iphone, a specific goal of epic games. no matter which side wins, consumers will be watching. >> people are still going to use the app store, but i think it's that longer term what is the user experience? how is that going to change? >> reporter: both companies are expected to make closing arguments on monday.

legal experts telling us, though, we will not know the result for weeks or maybe even months. dan. >> deirdre, thank you. from tech moguls to meteorological moguls, let's bring in robert marciano for the forecast cast. >> joining you downstairs. >> finally. >> a kid at the adult table. a little fire action going on across parts of eastern florida. this blew up to a 1600-acre fire. it's been pretty dryn here and we do have red flag warnings that are posted not only for western parts of florida with low levels of humidity and winds gusting 15 to 20 miles an hour. we also have some fire danger in the west with the red flag warnings up for the four corners, relative humidity as low as 6%. that's a check of what's good saturday morning. pretty shot from our east bay hills camera. plenty of sunshine and a warmer weekend as the fog along the

coast will be patchy around san mateo, otherwise temperatures come up a bit and the cool down arrives on tuesday with breezier winds. we will have that afternoon sea breeze, low to mid-70s inland. >> i say kiddie table because i'm the oldest in the room. >> we ordered you a booster seat. >> i have my aarp card. >> yes, you should order him a walker. >> that's right. >> stop, be nice. we're just happy to see you back. thanks, rob. >> thanks, robert. the grizzlies upset steph curry and the warriors overnight. the final team to secure a spot in the nba playoffs. many venues providing special seating for vaccinated fans at the upcoming games. abc's zachary kiesch joins us from the barclays center in new york city with more. good morning to you, zachary. >> reporter: eva, good morning to you as well. it is great to be here in brooklyn talking about a little bit of basketball. you know when the nba shuttered its season last year in many ways it was a reflection of

welcome back to "gma" and that spike in travel. as europe re-opens its doors to americans and airlines adding flights to meet the surge in demand, we've got what you need to know to get the best deals on your summer vacation. transportation correspondent gio benitez has more. >> reporter: hey, whit, good morning. this really could be one of the busiest summer travel seasons, in fact, we're already averaging about 1.5 million air travelers a day, so time is running out to get those deals.

this morning, we're just a week away from what could be the busiest travel weekend since the pandemic began. and the excitement over memorial day means airfares set to go up too. an estimated 16% this spring. by july 4th, domestic airfare may be near pre-pandemic levels. the average round trip ticket costs already soaring to $440. >> this interest in travel, i think, is making it tougher for a lot of folks to try to get good deals for this summer. >> reporter: with european nations reaching an initial agreement on allowing vaccinated americans in, airlines are prepping for a surge in international travelers by adding a slew of flights. united adding 400 additional flights in july, jetblue announcing it will now fly to europe for the first time with two new flights to london. danielle wilson, a stay-at-home mom, one of the millions of travelers looking to get out of the house. >> my husband, my son and i have

>> good morning. >> so, we all remember those really tough stories at the beginning of the pandemic like the odyssey of one of your liners, the "zandam" where passengers spent weeks stranded at sea quarantined in their rooms after that outbreak. so after all of that, how do you convince people to get back on board one of your ships? >> first let me say that we're very excited that we'll be returning to cruise in july from seattle to alaska. you know, a lot has changed since those early days during -- of the pandemic. we've learned a lot, and we've been working very closely with the cdc to make sure that the procedures and protocols we have in place make it very safe to cruise. with the work we're doing with the cdc, i argue it'll be one of the safest venues for our guests to vacation. >> i'd love to hear more about the safety. who will be allowed on board? do you have to be vaccinated to get on board? let's start with that.

>> yes, these initial cruises, the requirement will be that guests will need to be vaccinated, will receive the final dose 14 days prior to embarkation and in addition we're working and our intent is to vaccinate the entire crew and working with our local ports and those efforts have already started. >> and -- >> on top of that -- >> go ahead, sorry. >> go ahead. i was going to say, on top of that, we're really building some layers of protection, so first thing is you'll be among a highly vaccinated population, and then on top of that we're building layers of protection. nothing is more important than the health and security of our guests and our crew, and so we've made significant upgrades. we've added upgrades to our hvac system including uv lighting, enhanced filtration. we've also added additional cleaning procedures and sanitation practices on board. >> so what happens if somebody

does get sick with the coronavirus while you're out at sea? >> sure. first of all, that's going to be highly unlikely, as i mentioned. it'll be a vaccinated group of people but should in the unlikely event that someone tests positive, the first thing is, we have state-of-the-art medical centers on board and so we will have as part of that testing equipment and so we'll be able to test. if a guest has symptoms we'll be able to test and diagnose if they're, in fact, positive. if they are, we have a quarantine section of the ship that will be for quarantining and our medical team on board will be working with our operation center, our health operation center in conjunction with the coast guard operation center and really talking through what's the appropriate course of action. part of the agreement with the cdc is to work through agreements with each of our ports and so everything is taken care of before and so each port

as wll as the cruise line will know exactly what to do and whatever the situation may present itself and so whether that requires a debark or an it's an asymptomatic case and there's very little -- no risk of infection, then they can remain on board in quarantine. >> gus -- >> so it really depends on the situation. >> gus antorcha, really appreciate it. holland america cruise line. thank you very much for coming on on a saturday morning and we will be right back with our "play of the day."
