♪ the heat is on ♪ and the heat is on. get ready for the online shopping super bowl. amazon, walmart and target going head-to-head for the black friday of summer. the blockbuster new deals coming this year. ♪ good morning, america. hope you're doing well this thursday morning. we do have a lot of news to get to including that new plan to get 70% of adult americans vaccinated by the fourth of july. cdc director dr. rochelle walensky joins us in just a moment. but we want to get straight to that wave of major cyberattacks on our country's infrastructure and daily life. the latest ones targeting the largest meat supplier in the u.s. and the popular ferry service from nantucket to martha's vineyard. >> and we are also learning hackers broke into new york's massive system of subways and buses.

this all, of course, comes in the wake of that cyberattack on the critical pipeline that raised gas prices for so many americans. >> the white house is responding this morning and whit johnson starts us off. good morning, whit. >> reporter: george, good morning. grocery stores like wegmans behind me are monitoring the latest attack to see what impact there could be on the meat supply, but cybercriminals have been relentless in recent months exposing vulnerabilities with one attack after another. from food supply to transportation, to fuel, america's infrastructure facing a barrage of cyberattacks. overnight, jbs foods, the world's largest meat supplier, announcing they hope to operate at close to full capacity today after a devastating ransomware attack forced the temporary shutdown of nine meatpacking plants in the u.s. and multiple abroad. the fbi blaming two criminal organizations based in russi >> these areybcriminals okg for wainnd they look for the opportunity and opportunity comes both from having lax network security and

it also comes in the form of they do research. >> reporter: the brazil-based jbs is responsible for processing nearly 25% of the nation's beef. the major brands like costco, kroger and more. some analysts warn that if jbs is not able to get fully back online quickly it could lead to higher meat prices for consumers. >> the longer it stretches out the more impact it will have on our meat supply. you'll see a limited amount of supply of meat, so there won't be as much variety and you'll see prices go up. >> reporter: the quality and safety of the meat has not been impacted. it's just the latest in a string of cyberattacks. new york city's subways and buses hit too. the metropolitan transportation authority now revealing that back in april, cybercriminals linked to china hacked its computer systems. the mta says operational systems were not impacted and that its multilayered security systems worked as designed. then wednesday near cape cod the

ferry to nantucket and martha's vineyard hacked by criminals demanding ransom. officials warning of possible delays as the summer season ramps up. >> the threat is here now. it is the new way of warfare and we need to be prepared. >> reporter: now all of this follows the hack of the colonial pipeline last month which caused major disruption, panic buying and gas shortages on the east coast. russian-based groups also suspected in that attack leaving many to wonder what's next and how to stop it. george? >> right, that is a question for the white house. thank you, will. we'll bring in our senior white house correspondent mary bruce. mary, you pressed the president on this issue yesterday. >> reporter: i did and, george, the white house is making it very clear when it comes to responding to these costly attacks nothing is off the table. we know that the president plans to press russian president vladimir putin on cybersecurity when the two leaders meet face-to-face in geneva in less than two weeks. biden is facing a lot of pressure to put an end to these attacks. i did ask the president if he plans to retaliate against

russia. biden telling me, quote, we're looking closely at the issue, and he has made it clear that he thinks the kremlin does bear some responsibility here because these bad actors are based in russia. and when i asked the president if he thinks that putin is testing him, trying to get under his skin ahead of their big meeting, the president sort of seemed to try and laugh it off smiling and saying, no. but, george, there is no question as we continue to see these hackers target and disrupt major parts of american life, it certainly is raising stakes for the big summit. george. >> putin has warned of more actions to come before the summit. mary bruce, thanks very much. michael? george, now to the latest on the pandemic. the white house launching a new campaign to get 70% of adult americans vaccinated by the fourth of july. right now, nearly 63% of adults have received at least one dose. abc's stephanie ramos is at a mass vaccination site with more on this final push. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: michael, good morning.

there is an entire list of rewards for people who get their covid vaccine. the white house partnering with businesses across the country trying to encourage people who are not yet vaccinated to get it done. the president reminding them they are still at risk without it. a sprint to the finish. on wednesday, president biden revealing new initiatives, announcing a month of actions hoping to entice those who have not yet been vaccinated to get at least one shot by july 4th. >> we're announcing a month-long effort to pull all the stops, all the stops to free ourselves from this virus and get to 70% of adult americans vaccinated. >> reporter: part of how the president plans to reach this goal includes offering extended pharmacy hours, free child care for parents when they go to get the shot, and educating communities about the vaccine. >> jonathan carlyle from toledo, congratulations. >> reporter: overnight, ohio

naming its second vax-a-million million-dollar lottery winner. >> i got a lot of bills to pay. so that's the first thing that will happen. >> reporter: the incentive giving the amazon driver the push he needed to get vaccinated. >> when the vax-a-million thing started i immediately went down there and got it. >> reporter: zoie vincent walked away with a full ride scholarship to an ohio university. >> next thing we knew today my dad got a call from governor dewine saying i won it. >> reporter: this morning, at least 12 states have more than 70% of its adult population vaccinated with vermont and hawaii leading the way with more than 80% of their adult populations getting at least one shot. but six states have yet to reach the halfway mark when it comes to vaccinating their adult population. but for those on the front lines, with an average of about 400 deaths reported a day, the threat is still real. >> we definitely have seen a decrease in our numbers. we are still see patients that are very, very ill, but those patients that we're seeing are unvaccinated and unfortunately, some of the

patients that we're seeing are younger. >> reporter: vice president kamala harris will travel across the country trying to reach millions of americans who have not yet received their covid vaccine and encourage them to do so, the vice president will travel to the south where vaccination rates are the lowest and make additional stops in the midwest. cecelia? >> stephanie, thank you so much. for more let's bring in cdc director dr. rochelle walensky. dr. walensky, thank you so much for being here this morning. i want to start with that 70% and the big push from the president. these incentives, everything from child care to free beer. are we going to get to that 70% by the fourth of july? >> i certainly expect we will. i certainly hope so. i am looking forward to this june month of action where we canvas america, we work together, we collaborate as a nation in all walks of who we are, from mayors to colleges from businesses to athletes, really working together to reach that 70% goal.

>> let's talk about that 70%. i'm sure you've heard some of the pushback from doctors and infectious disease experts who say that 70% bar is basically too low, that you need to get to 75% to 80% of all americans, not just adults, in order to stop the transmission. is there any truth to that? >> we have wanted to hit a target that was aspirational, doable and to say that we're done on july 4th if and when we hit 70%, when we hit 70%, i would say is not true. after we hit 70%, we need to lean in and try to get to 75%, then to try to get to 80%. but what i would say is right now we have this goal, we're working towards it. we knew that this was going to be hard work as we approached it, that, you know, we've hit all the folks who have been streaming in trying to get the vaccine for themselves and now we're going out one by one getting this vaccine to the people. >> i want to ask about something on the mind of so many parents right now, families, kids in masks.

you recently told congress that kids were vectors of transmission for older americans. you received some pushback from experts in your field who said the data doesn't necessarily back it up, and then we see the children's hospital in colorado declaring an emergency for kids because of this pandemic. a mental health emergency. so in places where transmission is low, vaccine rates are high, why do children still need to be wearing masks? >> so we have said through the school year of '20 to '21 that our school guidance wasn't going to change and what we are really doing now is looking at the evidence in the context of so many getting vaccinated, in the context of disease rates coming down in certain communities and really looking at the evidence now. what we have seen is that when older folks got vaccinated, that the virus did move to younger demographics. so early on in our vaccination efforts we were really seeing more disease in our older teens, our younger 20s and in that demographic.

and so, as we're starting to get those people vaccinated, we will be revisiting this in our school guidance. >> so might we see a change in time for school in the fall where children will not be required to wear masks when they head back to school? >> i think we are looking at the evidence now and we will be coming out with that guidance soon to come. >> okay, dr. walensky, i want to ask finally about one more thing. the president ordered this u.s. intelligence agencies to investigate the origins of the coronavirus. does the administration now believe that this could have been leaked from a lab in wuhan? >> i think the administration now believes that it's really important to understand the origin of this. certainly we know that most coronaviruses when they enter into human disease have come from animal sources, but i think it's really important now to understand where this came from and to -- so we can prevent further epidemics, pandemics like this in the future. >> so is it a possibility it may have originated in this lab? >> i think we know -- we have seen in the initial w.h.o.

report that there are numerous possibilities as to where it originated and the really important thing is to collaborate as a globe to understand its origin. >> dr. walensky, as always, we appreciate your time and perspective, thank you. >> okay, thanks, cecelia. now to that disturbing shootout in florida where two children, just 12 and 14, opened fire on officers with a shotgun and ak-47 after running away from a foster home. victor oquendo is in miami with the latest. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, george. after running away from that children's group home, the sheriff says that those kids broke into a house and that's where they found the guns, what happened next is tough to watch. this morning, the newly released body camera video showing a disturbing standoff in central florida. >> don't make me do this. don't do this. >> reporter: a deputy taking cover behind a tree after a 12-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl opened fire from inside a house. the pair armed with a shotgun and an ak-47.

>> appears the female has a long gun pointed towards me. >> reporter: the volusia sheriff's office says two kids ran away from the florida united methodist children's home and broke into a house, then armed themselves with the homeowner's guns. the standoff lasting hours. the kids refusing to surrender. the sheriff's office says that when the girl came out of the garage firing the shotgun in the deputy's direction, that's when they shot back striking her. the video blurred as they approached the girl shot. the deputies offering her help. >> come on, sweetie. what's your name? >> reporter: they quickly get her medical attention. she's now reportedly in critical, but stable condition. >> keep your hands up. keep your hands up. >> reporter: the boy then dropping his weapon and obeying commands. once in custody authorities say the boy told them the girl said, i'm going to roll this down like gta, referring to the video game grand theft auto. >> they did everything humanly poss they took gunfire. >> reporter: helicopter video

capturing the gunfire. the girl's father who currently does not have custody speaking with our affiliate wftv. >> i can't believe my daughter had a shotgun and she was shooting at deputies. >> reporter: the sheriff says that they were called to the home those kids ran away from, 289 times just last year. he said that the juvenile justice system is broken. the home calling what happened tragic. michael? >> thank you so much. now we turn overseas to the latest on the push to unseat israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and bring his 12-year run to an end. abc's james longman has more. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, michael. he's called the magician as he's always been able to pull off wins in israel's complex political landscape, but there were celebrations overnight among his critics because benjamin netanyahu looks like he has no more tricks to play. after 12 years israel's longest serving prime minister looks like he might be out and it's a historic if unlikely coalition of eight different parties coming in.

united only really by their desire to remove him. among them the centrist party and for the first time in decades, an arab-israeli party coming into government. this is the extraordinary photograph of the three leaders signing their agreement. something no one thought was possible or it's hard to see how they're going to govern together. all this does though need to be ratified in a vote and that's expected soon. cecilia? >> james, thanks so much. we're going to turn to the latest struggling stock to soar. all eyes are on amc after shares of the theater chain nearly doubled on wednesday. some even calling this possibly the next gamestop. chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis joins us with more. rebecca, everybody wants to know, what is behind the big spike? >> reporter: so, cecilia, let's put this spike into perspective. first of all, if you put $100 into amc at the start of this year and sold yesterday, you'd have made about $3,000. the stock was up 100% yesterday.

3,000% over the course of this year. that's just so far. this is not normal but it is part of a new phenomenon we've been seeing with other companies like gamestop where meme stocks, these companies that take on a life of their own online in forums where young people talk about a particular stock, they get together in concert and move and all buy at the same time. when they pour in, the stock tends to go higher. but, of course, you have to make sure that you're buying in concert in order to keep the momentum strong. for amc this has been a game chane. this is a company that was on the brink of bankruptcy at the start of this year and now they were just able to raise $230 million because of this new breed of young trader and all of their enthusiasm. but the bottom line here, guys, is the reality of this, which is

it is very risky, it's the equivalent of walking into a casino, betting it all on red. it is a game of musical chairs and you have to be ready for when the music stops. guys? >> you sure do. good advice there. following a lot of other stories this morning including that bombshell turnaround by the nfl. they pledge to stop using medical race-norming. coming up, the one thing that could make or break your summer vacation plans. first to ginger at the philadelphia zoo this morning. >> reporter: yes, and from here in philadelphia up to scranton, down to richmond, virginia, we're concerned about damaging winds later today. tornadoes and even some small hail. look at this, though, tornado was spotted in north carolina trying to form there and i do want to show you the area that's going to be impacted today because it includes a lot of people and so, if you are even along the i-95 corridor around dinnertime is when you want to watch. finally a look at the flash flood threat. the stormy cities now sponsored by dick's sporting goods.

agreeing to end so-called quali"race here norming" in connection with their concussion settlements. some black former players say it was used to deny them money in brain injury claims and ryan smith joins us with more and it is a bombshell. >> reporter: it absolutely is, michael, good morning. after an abc news investigation into allegations of racial bias in the nfl's concussion settlement program, and the public pressure campaign led by former players and their families, the nfl is vowing to end the controversial practice. this morning, the nfl is pledging to make sure race no longer plays a part in the landmark 2013 nfl concussion settlement program. which has so far paid eligible former players suffering from the effects of head injuries hundreds of millions of dollars. >> football doesn't give you an expiration date. you just expire. >> reporter: but players like former steelers defensive end kevan henry say they didn't

qualify because of the color of their skin. despite battling memory loss, headaches and depression, symptoms henry suspects are long-term effects of head injuries he sustained on the field his claims were denied. >> i just want to be looked at the same as a white guy. >> reporter: at the center of the firestorm, a controversial practice known as race-norming. in medicine, it's supposed to help doctors make better diagnoses. critics say using it is to determine level of brain injury is discriminatory because it assumes black players start at a lower cognitive level than white ones, making it harder for black players to prove enough damage to qualify for payments. how did you react when you learned that there was a different standard being used for black players to get benefits? >> i felt so betrayed and i still feel that way. >> reporter: though the nfl says there is no merit to any claim of discrimination, an nfl spokesperson now tells abc they are committed to eliminating

race-based norms in the program saying the league will review claims that were previously rejected. >> hey, how are you, ryan? >> reporter: attorney chris seager is representing the former players. he's the same man who negotiated the landmark settlement eight years ago. it was in the details of the settlement that a recommendation of race-norming in evaluating former players was included. but he's now under fire from a growing number of his own clients who feel he let them down in the original negotiations and in his more recent response to criticism of the program. >> i'm really sorry that anybody, anybody, any client has been made to feel that way. that was a big mistake. it was a failure of the system. >> reporter: now, in an exclusive interview with abc news, seager is making a shocking admission. >> i was wrong. i didn't have a he

problem. i'm on top of this and i'm going to eliminate race-norming from the settlement and if that results in me having to score every claim again, especially where race-norming was applied, i will fight to have that done. >> reporter: so, for former black players who have felt discriminated against, what argument are you making as to why you are the best person to represent them in this process? >> i'm fully cognizant of this country's history of what's happened to black people in this country and know this very well. i can't say i'm walking in somebody else's shoes but i'm not oblivious to it. this has to get fixed. this is deeper than just the nfl concussion settlement. >> reporter: so, where do we go from here? the nfl says it's considering alternatives to race-norming in evaluating claims and seeger is reviewing each and every case where race may have factored into a denial. still both sides have to come an agreement, as thousands of families and millions of dollars hang in the balance, michael. >> ryan, what are some other implications for the league if

they have to go back and look at all those cases again? >> reporter: michael, the primary implication is financial. you think about claims and awards that are given for head injuries sustained while playing the game under the concussion settlement program. it can range from hundreds of thousands of dollars, to millions of dollars, so the nfl would have to go through the history of where race might have played a factor or appealed a decision based on not including race as a factor. so there's a lot to sort through here and it may take some time. >> definitely a lot of money involved. for families who think that race-norming affected their claim, what impact has this had on them? >> michael, i've talked to several of them and it has been devastating and this particular part of it has been like salt in the wound. many families have spent years trying to get awards and they've had their awards approved, then denied, and the nfl appealed based on race-norms and other things. so for them it's a very difficult situation. you can't blame for them for being dubious as to what happens next.

as one former player put it, words are cheap. let's see what they do. so what happens next is going to be critical for these families in terms of getting awards under that concussion settlement program. >> a lot will be watching and waiting for the decision. ryan, thank you so much. cecilia? we shift gears now to that online shopping showdown. target and walmart, they're going head-to-head with amazon prime day for the black friday of summer. rebecca jarvis is back with more on how everybody can save big when they go shopping. hey, rebecca. >> reporter: hi, cecilia. they are ready to rumble which is great news for you, the consumer, and we've got all the details right here. this morning, major retailers gearing up to face off for the biggest sale of the summer. amazon prime day. target deal dates and walmart's deals for days all fighting for your hard-earned money between june 20th and june 23rd. >> this is unprecedented being in june. we've nevesehis fo >> reporter: amazon promising more than 2 million deals, but target taking the retail giant head on emphasizing you don't need to pay to be a member to

>> for instance slickdeals.net is a site that i work with. they have a feature called the deal alert so, if there's a specific item that you're looking for, you can set a deal alert for it, then you'll be notified when it goes on sale. >> reporter: and another great resource to have at the ready are cashback apps like ibotta and rakuten. check out your favorite retailer because typically speaking no one likes to be a holdout. everybody piles in when amazon, target and walmart are offering a sale. guys? >> they sure do. rebecca, thanks very much. coming up next, why your vacation costs are soaring and the new headline just out, are supersonic planes coming back? do you like mud? okay. then go there.

now. prices are going to rise about 16% between now and the middle of july. >> reporter: some destinations are still seeing deals for hotels, down as much as 20% from pre-pandemic rates. rode island, long beach, california, tampa, florida and ft. myers, naples. >> some of the smaller cities and airports are where lower cost carriers fly in and out of, so they can offer those low-base prices. >> reporter: in fact, new low cost airlines are betting on the desire to find cheap tickets. avelo selling them as low as $19. breeze as low as $39, but the rental car shortage across the country is still in full effect. california icu nurse alicia hoge was hoping to rent a car for just over 500 bucks and she says the company emailed her saying it would cost almost 2,000. >> i thought it was a joke. i don't have an extra $1,900 just laying around to pay for a

rental car for the weekend. >> reporter: so experts say, if you need a rental, make that your priority. in some cases almost look for that rental car before you book the flight just to see if they have any. >> yeah, now we're telling people if you need a rental car book it at the same time you book your flight or earlier. >> reporter: when it comes to hotels, last minute may actually be better. i was really surprised about this. you're saying in big cities you should book your hotels last minute? >> yes, hotels often offer really low prices on hotels at the very last minute. same-day check-in or day before. you run the risk of maybe not getting the room type or the exact hotel that you were planning on if you wait that late. >> reporter: a little bit of a risk there and the key to flexibility is really about booking. the key to those low prices is really about flexibility. if you book a flight on a tuesday instead of a friday, you're probably going to save money there, george. >> meantime, gio, what's this

they were intensified during the pandemic as that poll we just talked about shows. >> that's right and we know that girls really rely on close one-on-one friendships and a lot of them lost access to that in the pandemic. so what do you do when you're a teen girl and feel lonely? you go online. social media can be harmful when you're online and feeling upset to begin with. so really girls got a one-two punch. they got lonely. they went online and felt a little lonelier. it's been a rough go for many girls. >> so what should parent does if they're worried about their girls? >> well, look, we have a conversation starter. talk about naomi osaka and also don't go it alone. get professional help if you can. talk to your child's school counselor. remember always the best gift to your child is your example so make mistakes in front of your

♪ time for our global grill series this morning. we're going to take you to thailand with chef jet tila. he's carrying on the tradition with a new cookbook. "101 asian dishes you need to cook before you die." chef, thanks for joining us this morning. >> it e's my pleasure. thanks for having me. >> let's talk about what you'll be grilling today. chicken sake. >> my family brought thai food to america. this is one of the dishes on the original menu 50 years ago and it's still there. classic thai dish.

curry powder, sugar, salt, we've got a little bit of garlic powder that will go in there to do a dry rub and hydrate that with a little bit of coconut milk and that brings a lot of things, moisture and helps keep the protein tender and for protein today we will be using chicken breast. i cut that really thin. that goes in there and i cut that into bite-size pieces. it marinades really nicely. you know what, you can do it right away, overnight would be better. then we take these and i like to soak my skewers in a little bit of water and those are going to go right in. make sure to leave a little room on the bottom so i'm using little skewers. but if you want to use big ones, for big meals, no big deal. that becomes that. you marinate those and we'll bring it right to the grill right there. look at that. >> and, chef, can you use this technique with different proteins outside of chicken? >> o a soow wt,y favori thing is to do lamb chops, steak. you know what, anything you enjoy on the grill, you can absolutely saute it up.

get rid of the skewer and make this anything you want. >> chef, what an amazing legacy your family brings. while you're there grilling, i want to ask you about the sauce that you're making on the side. feel free to walk us through what you're doing there. a little sweet, a little savory. one of my favorites. >> absolutely. so satay is always served with a peanut sauce and we're starting with coconut milk and curry paste. curry paste is like ten ingredients in one. it's all those thai herbs that you love, it's garlic, it's shrimp paste and what that will do is give you a beautiful base. so the curry paste will work into the coconut milk and i wish we had smell-o-vision. i wish you could smell this in new york. my grandma would have a little mortar and pestle to grind the peanuts. we have something called peanut butter nowadays. she was doing this 60, 70 years ago, and then there's this magical moment when peanut butter melts into the coconut milk. thai food is five flavors. hot, sour, salty, sweet, savory.

you got to know how to play with the sauce. it's salt and savory. let's get the little rice vinegar in there. let's get a little bit of sugar in there. and, boom, that cooks down and becomes this unctuous delicious sauce. that's how you make satay with peanut sauce. how fun is that? super simple, guys. >> chef, what else would you serve to create a grilled thai feast? what else would you serve with this? >> you know, for traditionally as a street food cucumber salad. you would do that with a little bit of bread, believe it or not. there's this beautiful culture that satay weaves through and then, but for a meal, pair it with your favorite thai dishes, curry, rice, any of your stir y to enter into thai food. >> we are diving in. >> thank you, chef.
