>> it was. >> it was. >> get into it, friend. >> okay, okay, i'm a little behind. good morning, america, and as we start a new week together, concerns about the covid vaccine and young adults. the cdc investigating a heart problem in more than a dozen teenagers and young adults out of the millions who got vaccinated. what we know so far. with more signs life is returning to normal, thousands of fans packing madison square garden overnight for the knicks playoff game. the biggest indoor gathering in new york state since the start of the pandemic. hitting the road. as covid cases fall across the country, millions of americans getting ready to travel this memorial day weekend. the new sites opening up this morning to vaccinated travelers. on the front lines. the fragile cease-fire between israel and hamas holding this

morning after 11 days of deadly violence. we're on the ground in gaza. urgent manhunt. the desperate search for the suspect who shot and killed this 6-year-old boy, as more gun violence explodes across the country. international outrage. the dictator who forced down a passenger jet with u.s. citizens on board to arrest a top critic of his government. the latest this morning. deadly disaster. this cable car in the italian alps crashing to the ground, killing at least 14 people. the search for answers right now. fiery blast. one of the world's most active and dangerous volcanos explodes. a monster wall of lava engulfs homes. tens of thousands of people forced to evacuate. ♪ can't touch this ♪ all-star stunners. simone biles bolting into the history books becoming the first woman ever to land this

player to ever win a major. what lefty said about failure two weeks before his historic win that has so many inspired this morning. i love walking in this morning and you two talking about phil mickelson and what we saw. so many were pulling for him. >> yeah. >> 18 making his way to the 18th? the swarm? that crowd. >> i was worried for his safety for a bit. >> oh, my goodness. >> they were a little too close for comfort. >> but so much excitement. >> amazing to watch. >> it was cool, his brother as his caddy. a lot more of that coming up. >> it was incredible. we're seeing all kinds of crowds as the pandemic recedes. there's madison square garden last night, knicks game, 15,000 fans. the u.s. is turning the corner against covid. check out this map from the cdc. the red shows high levels of the disease back in january. now significantly different.

you see it right there. >> and vaccines, george, are contributing to that success. there are now nine states with 70% of adults getting at least one dose of the vaccine, but there are new questions this morning about younger adults and those shots, and abc's steve osunsami is at the cdc with the latest. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. at this point, health officials here at the cdc aren't making any changes as to who they feel should get the vaccine, but they are looking into a small number of possible reactions from the shot. scientists at the cdc are investigating this morning after more than a dozen people who got the coronavirus vaccine have come down with myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart. the number of cases isn't anymore than what health officials would expect to see among the same millions of people who haven't been vaccinated, but investigators at the cdc say they still have to look into this. >> the cdc was showed this information and noticed out of an abundance of caution. they're trying to investigate to

see if they're related at all to the vaccine. at this point, there is no relationship proven. >> reporter: it seems to happen more often in teens, young adults and for some reason, men more than women, usually four days after the second dose of the vaccine, and the condition usually went away on its own. the u.s. department of defense is already looking into 14 cases in service members who took the pfizer or moderna vaccines. but all these cases together are still a tiny fraction of the nearly 128 million people in this country who have been fully vaccinated without any issues. so far, about 1 out of every 5 million people getting the vaccine have reported heart inflammation. putting it plainly, the odds of being struck by lightning are significantly better. 1 in 700,000. and doctors underline that the benefits of immunization outweigh these small risks. vac this was able to happen sunday night.

15,000 fans at madison square garden for a playoff game between the knicks and the atlanta hawks. >> i haven't been to the garden in so long, so it's just nice to get the energy back. >> reporter: it was the largest indoor event in new york state since the pandemic. 90% of the people who were at that game last night had to prove it. a process we're probably going to see a lot more often. people who weren't vaccinated, could not prove that they were vaccinated, still had to wear masks and social distance. george? >> steve osunsami, thank you very much. let's bring in our friend, richard besser. ceo of the robert wood foundation. let's talk about these heart cases. very few of them overall. no link proven to the vaccine, so how concerned are you? >> well, you know, george, to me, it tells me the system is working. you know, there's an independent safety committee that reviews data every single week to look for any particular signals that could raise concern, and so when

they saw cases of myocarditis even though it's not more than they would normally see, they say let's investigate this, and make sure there's no connection because we do know myocarditis can occur, and it can occur following a viral infection. so the question they want to see is are they certain there's no connection here and so far there's no signals that raise that alarm. >> what do you say to parents who want to take a wait-and-see approach to the vaccines until these investigations are done? >> yeah, you know, i think every parent has to make their own decision. as a pediatrician, what i would say is at this point there's nothing to raise concern. this is telling me that the system is working, and we do know that covid infection itself can be very serious. we've lost hundreds of children. there have been thousands who have been hospitalized, thousands who have developed an inflammatory syndrome, and one of the pieces of that can be myocarditis. so what i would say is, from my perspective, the risk of covid is so much greater than any

theoretical risk from the vaccine. i would say go ahead so we can get our lives back to what we want them to be. >> and rich, it's so clear now that the vaccines really have helped us turn this corner. >> it's absolutely amazing. i have to pinch myself, george. just the idea that there are three vaccines that are being used in the united states this soon after a new infection, and the downturn is incredible, and with summer here, i think it's going to continue. >> richard besser, thanks very much. robin? and george, as the covid cases decline across the country, millions are expected to travel for memorial day weekend. many will even be able to get vaccinated before boarding their flight. transportation correspondent gio benitez is at jfk airport with more. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, robin, good morning. yeah, this vaccination site here at jfk opened just moments ago as we come on the air, and lue vaccinate airport employees, an

ahead and donate it to the state so that they can go ahead and vaccinate any u.s. resident who is flying into or out of jfk. they're giving that single-dose johnson & johnson vaccine, and i got to tell you, robin, this is 1 of 7 airports across the state of new york that are going to be going ahead and giving that vaccine, again, to any u.s. resident. >> and, gio, we know more than 37 million people are expected to travel this week? >> reporter: a lot of people, robin. that is up 60% over last year. 2.5 million of those are going to be flying, okay? so when you're looking at that, that is six times more than 2020. 34 million people, they're going to be going ahead and driving more than 50 miles from home. in fact, trip it tells us that car rental books up are 220% over last year. that is one reason we're seeing so many rental car shortages. gas prices, they are higher than they have been.we're looking at gallon, robin.

>> all right, thank you, gio. michael? now we go to the latest on the crisis in the middle east. the cease-fire between israel and hamas is holding this morning, but the biden administration says it's concerned about the humanitarian situation there after 11 days of violence. matt gutman is on the ground in gaza this morning. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, michael, good morning. this is one of the multiple neighborhoods in gaza that looks like this this morning. israeli missiles hit in this open area damaging or destroying every single home here. you can see the facades of those buildings completely sheared off. dozens of people wounded here, but nobody killed. when secretary blinken spoke to george this weekend, he said commitment to gaza in terms of rebuilding these areas and humanitarian aid is critical, the administration also reaffirming its commitment to the two-state solution. now so far, that cease-fire is holding. we saw hamas militants marching armed in the streets for the first time since the conflict began. that means they feel safe enough, and israeli tanks pulling away from the gaza

to aking on extdi this right now. hopefully it holds. certainly 15 million people in israel and the palestinian territories hope that it does. michael? >> we sure hope it does as well, matt, thank you. george? we turn to growing outrage over a stunning move of the dictator of belarus. his regime hijack a passenger jet to arrest a top critic of the government on board. that critic could now face the death penalty in belarus. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has the latest. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george. this was an outrageous move with the dictator of belarus, essentially ordering the hijacking of a commercial jet because a journalist opposed his leadership. this morning international outrage over the forced landing of this airliner with more than 170 passengers on board including u.s. citizens,

deplaning in belarus under the watchful eye of kgb agents after air traffic controllers were told of a potential security threat on board. a fighter jet sent as escort, but there was no bomb threat. several european leaders say it was all a plot by europe's last dictator, belarusian president alexander lukashenko to detain and arrest prominent journalist 26-year-old roman protasevic who helped lead opposition protests against lukashenko's re-election last year. >> his regime is threatened. he's feeling heat, and the dissident movement that this journalist was sponsoring obviously was getting under his skin. >> reporter: passengers sitting near him describe him racing to delete sensitive information from his phone, and laptop once he realized the plane was landing in minsk, belarus' capital. now, president lukashenko facing swift condemnation for the

forced landing. the prime minister of greece where the flight took off, calling it unprecedented and shocking, and the prime minister of poland calling it an act of state terrorism. secretary of state antony blinken demanding his immediate release. the plane was released some seven hours after it was forced to land with all the passengers except one released, and this morning, no word of the journalist's fate. >> as you say, an outrageous situation. martha raddatz, thanks very much. robin? now to the urgent manhunt in southern california for the person who shot and killed a young boy in what appears to be a case of road rage. this as more gunfire erupted across the country this weekend. chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is live in washington with more for us. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: robin, good morning. that little boy you described was only 6 years old. he's one of more than 140 people killed and hundreds wounded in the last 72 hours as the gunfire

escalates across the nation. this morning, an urgent manhunt for the suspect who fatally shot this 6-year-old boy near santa ana, california. aiden leos killed while he was riding in the backseat of his mother's car, a tragic victim of possible road rage. >> he was precious, and you killed him for no reason. >> reporter: aiden's mom says she was trying to change lanes when the car behind her attempted to cut her off. a few seconds later, a shot rang out. >> i heard a really loud noise, and my son said, ow, and i had to pull over. >> reporter: as the nation's chronic epidemic of gun violence continues, the young are not being spared. also this weekend, a 14-year-old girl fatally shot with 14 wounded at an outdoor concert in south carolina. >> this is sad. it's unfortunate. >> reporter: at least 120 children aged 11 and under have been killed in gun violence not

including suicide so far this year. 281 wounded. nearly 500 youth ages 12 to 17 killed. over 1,100 wounded. gun violence deaths surging in the last three years, spiking 30% when comparing 2020 to 2018. the number of mass shootings defined as where four or more victims are shot, nearly doubling in that time frame. this weekend no different. in new jersey, two people killed. 12 injured after gunfire erupts at a house party. >> people screaming, hollering, calling the cops, calling each other. >> reporter: and another mass shooting this weekend in minneapolis where ten people were shot outside of a downtown nightclub with two dying. robin, while we're all justifiably focused on the pandemic, there was an incredible surge in gun violence last year, and it's starting to feel like a challenging summer ahead, guys. >> it certainly does, , thank y.

going to switch gears now to that stunning win on the green. phil mickelson becoming the oldest golfer to ever win a major, taking the pga championship at age 50. t.j. holmes joins us now with more. good morning, t.j. >> good morning to you all. let's take his age out of it for a moment. he went into this tournament ranked 116th in the world. his last tournament he finished 69th. the one before that missed the cut. the one before that 21st. the one before that missed the cut. he wasn't having a stellar year. now throw the age in there, and what we just saw was not just stunning like you said and special, but it's something we have never seen before. >> here it is. biggest moment for the legendary career. phil defeats father time. >> reporter: lefty back on top and making pga championship history. >> the 2021 pga champion, phil mickelson. >> reporter: 50-year-old phil mickelson becoming the oldest winner of a major tournament. >> i don't know how to describe the feeling of excitement,

fulfillment and accomplishment to do something when -- you know at this magnitude when very few people thought that i could. >> reporter: as his win became inevitable, throngs of fans followed the golfer as he played. mickelson also joins his close friend tiger woods in an exclusive club, now the tenth golfer to win a major title in three different decades. woods tweeted after the match, truly inspirational to see phil mickelson do it again at 50 years of age. congrats. and living legend jack nicklaus who won his last championship at 46, posted his congrats. >> 50 years old is older than 46. well done, my friend. >> reporter: mickelson who wasn't even ranked in the top 100 was given just 200 ahead of the tournament. >> this is just an incredible feeling because i just believed that it was possible, but yet everything was saying it wasn't, and i hope that others find that inspiration, but gosh is it worth it in the end.

>> despite what you see at your local golf club, golf is not an old man's game. this is a young man's game. the majors are won on average by guys 32, 33 years old. this is a big deal. he had this tweet, guys. very poignant tweet here saying, i've failed many times in my life and career, and because of this, i've learned a lot. instead of feeling defeated countless times, i've used it as fuel to drive me to work harder. join me in accepting our failures. a sweet note there for him. >> amen. >> the oldest guy to ever do it. >> that was great to see. thanks, t.j. you can come back. billboard music awards coming up. >> yes. a lot more coming up as well including the new details in the trial of the man charged with killing molly tibbets. what new surveillance video reveals. and the memorial day deals to cash in and the possible shipping delays. first, we say good morning to ginger. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to

ready to air its fifth and final season. the characters so many fell in love with are getting ready to say good-bye and leave their mark on the world. ladies, good morning. thank you so much for getting up and being with us this morning. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> good to see you all. you three have such great chemistry on screen. i know that you lived in the same building during filming. katie, i understand you all played music together? is that true? >> yeah. i mean, we were up in montreal and there were so many covid protocols, and we weren't really allowed to do anything. so the solace that we kind of found was playing music together. so aisha had her ukulele. i had my piano. meghan had her guitar, and we would just sing together and hang out. it was really lovely. >> katie, you're a bit of a prankster.

i see you post videos scaring meghan on set, but you tried getting her back. didn't you, meghan? >> i did. try being the keyword. we were all hanging out at the park because that was sort of the only space we could safely be in during covid, and she left to use the restroom at which point we thought it would be fun if we took our entire blanket setup so when she came back, she couldn't see us, and watching her look for us was very fun and i sort of snuck up behind her and went, boo, and she just turned around and was, like, what? so i was pretty disappointed. >> y'all are something else. let's take a look at a clip of the three of you in the final season. here it is. >> can we make a promise to never keep secrets from each other? >> well, if we're doing that, i think i might have feelings for scott. >> oh, great. >> how much do i owe you? >> 30 bucks, baby.

>> are you making bets on whether or not i like scott? >> no. we knew you liked scott. we were just making a bet on whether or not you would admit it. >> mm-hmm. so many unanswered questions after last season, aisha. how emotional was it shooting that last episode? >> you know, i wasn't really expecting to get emotional which is very naive of me, you know, but i mean we spent five years with our crew, and they're a really big part of the show. so we all cried like, you know, 8-year-olds. it was pretty embarrassing actually. i hope nobody has the footage. >> no. i'm sure that -- all those years together and experiencing so much together even last year with everything that everybody went through, but meghan, fans are curious about your character's relationship with richard. are you allowed to tease us a little bit on what we can expect? >> yeah. i mean, we left sutton and richard in season four in a pretty tough spot. they're just two people who love each other a lot and want

different things, and so no matter what they choose, someone doesn't get what they want. but i'm so thrilled to be able to say that sam page who plays richard is coming back, and we're going to, you know, hav the opportunity to sort of watch tem work it out hopefully, but i couldn't imagine ending the show without sam because he's been such a part of it from the beginning. so it was really awesome to have him come back for the final season for that. >> i love it. you got the producer's permission to share that with us. >> yeah. >> and katie, i understand your character's courage inspired you to do something real life challenging. what is that? >> well, jane, she was diagnosed with the brca gene mutation which makes you more prone to have breast cancer or ovarian cancer in your life. and so telling this story, it made me be really conscious of checking myself every morning, and a year and a half ago i did

find a lump that i would not have found had i not been checking myself, and, you know, with the support of my friends and my family, i immediately went and got it checked out, and i'm thankfully fine. it was benign, and it's good, but i think that it just taught me that even though information like that can be scary, it's better to get the information because knowledge is power, and knowing that and checking yourself and being aware of your body and your health i think it's -- it's life-saving. >> it is. bless you for sharing that. that is just so -- i'm glad that you are doing well, and everything is okay. aisha, bring us on home now. final season. y'all know you have so many fans. what is it that you want to say to them? >> oh, we love you so much, and thank you for, you know, helping us pay our rent for five years. it's been really fun, and i

just -- i have two really great friends that i -- i love so much. i love you guys. >> love you too. >> i love you. >> yeah. >> oh my gosh. how cute. >> you're going to make me emotional now. >> i'm very emotional. it's too early. i want to go back to bed. >> friends for life. friends for life. well, ladies, thank you so much. thank you for sharing with us all these seasons, and we wish you all the absolute best. be well. take care. >> thanks for having us. >> you too. >> we'll let everybody the final season of "the bold type" premieres wednesday at 10:00 p.m. on freeform, and is available the next day on hulu. let's check in again with ginger. ginger? >> reporter: thanks, robin. i want to take you to wrightsville beach, north carolina, sharing the beauty of what's happening there. the surf a little bit high. there is a hazardous beach statement, but boy will it be a nice day inland. closer to 90. the water temperature is only 74. you will be slightly cooler, and upper 80s though. the ocean temperatures haven't
