♪ you're simply the best ♪ and meet the best in show. wasabi the pekingese, named top dog at the westminster dog show, beating out conor, striker and bourbon. wasabi is live with us this morning. i thought striker was going to take it. >> striker is pretty great, but i got a soft spot for wasabi. >> yeah. that's a lot of -- a lot of spirit. >> i can't get you to watch an nba playoff game, but you'll give me the highlights from the dog show. >> yeah. so what's your point? >> it's a lot earlier in the day. >> look, wasabi, there is wasabi. wasabi is here late night with an early morning here with us to talk about the big win and his owner. the hair, a lot of work.

>> right upstairs. that's a little bit later. but we begin with president biden on the world stage in brussels this morning for that nato summit after spending time with queen elizabeth on sunday, and getting ready for that face-to-face meeting with russian leader vladimir putin. let's go to chief white house correspondent cecilia vega who is live in brussels this morning for us. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. happy monday. so so much of this first foreign trip for president biden has been really about trying to convince allies that the era of donald trump is over. these differences, they are on full display here this morning in these meetings under way right now. president trump, he said nato was obsolete. just a few minutes ago, president biden said these nato alliances are a sacred obligation. this morning, president biden in brussels where he'll try to convince leaders that america wants to be a leader after trump four years bashing the alliance. on the agenda, ensuring stability in afghanistan after u.s. and nato troops withdraw by

september 11th. climate change and russia. biden says he and putin agree on one thing, relations between the two nations are at rock bottom. >> he's right we're at a low point. >> reporter: and new details about that high stakes summit, it'll be split into two sessions, and unlike that shocking moment following president trump's meeting where he held a joint press conference, and told the world he trusted putin's election interference denials over his own intelligence community's findings. >> he just said it's not russia. i'll say this, i don't see any reason why it would be. >> reporter: president biden says he'll be alone at his press conference. >> i don't want to get into being diverted by, did they shake hands? how far did they -- who talked the most and the rest? now, he can say what he said the meeting was about, and i will say what i thought the meeting was about. >> reporter: in england, saying america wants to lead by example, donating 1 billion

covid vaccines to poorer nations, but there was disagreement on just how tough to be on beijing. a whirlwind eight-day trip, the president and the first lady also met the queen. later telling reporters he had such a good time, he invited the 95-year-old monarch to visit the the white house. >> she reminded me of my mother. in terms of the look of her and just the generosity. i said, i wish we could stay longer. she was very gracious. >> reporter: well, as for that putin summit, president biden has been pretty tight-lipped about the details. we do know that among the issues, they are going to discuss cybersecurity and arms control. for president biden, putin called him a different kind of person. >> let's bring in jon karl. the administration doing what they can to set expectations. for is summit.

the u.n. ambassador out saying it will be tough and it won't be a summit of smiles. >> reporter: it's extraordinary, george, to hear the white house announce that after a one-on-one meeting with a foreign leader, that the president will come out and do a solo press conference. i have covered a lot of these one-on-one foreign leader meetings. i have never seen that. it's an indication of what you just heard. that is that both putin and biden agree that u.s./russian relations are at a low point. you're going to hear a very tough tone from biden on all the issues cecilia just mentioned, ranging from cybersecurity to human rights, but the question here is that although the tone is tougher towards russia, will the policy coming from biden actually be tougher towards russia? because the bottom line here is that joe biden is not looking for some big confrontation with vladimir putin. he wants to engage with russia, and as far as he sees the world, the number one foreign policy concern is not russia. it's china. >> meantime, jon, it seems like

every day we're getting a new revelation about the trump justice department. revelation yesterday that the fbi was secretly seeking the records of the president's own white house counsel don mcgahn. >> reporter: i mean, this is just bizarre, george, coming after you heard the trump justice department had sought records for democrats in congress. now the top lawyer in the trump white house. the bottom line on this one is that we really don't know what is going on. we know this was a part of some kind of a leak investigation, but we don't know what leak they were investigating, and, you know, we don't even know if don mcgahn was specifically or intentionally targeted or was he caught up in a much wider search? but this is already in the investigation by the internal invest gator at the doj, and congress will be looking at it. >> his family records were sought as well. thanks very much.

we turn now to the coronavirus emergency, today marking the six-month anniversary of the widespread rollout of the vaccine here. where have we come? now 62% of the eligible population has received at least one dose. our stephanie ramos has the latest for us from new york. >> reporter: this morning, with cases plummeting, more restrictions loosening as the country tries to recover from the devastating impact of covid-19. this weekend, chicago lifting capacity limits for bars and venues. wrigley field packed with fans for opening day. >> reopening day, 100% capacity. there's nothing like going to a game at wrigley field with everybody here. >> reporter: california preparing to drop mask mandates and social distancing for those who are vaccinated tomorrow. bars and restaurants set to open at 100%. owners in the hard-hit industry like jason eisner relieved. >> the last 18 months have been devastating and we can't wait for june 15th to come fast enough. >> reporter: but the reopening comes with a warning from experts to the unvaccinated. the delta variant first discovered in india, likely to

lead to a new wave of infections this fall. this as the u.s. circles a dark milestone, 600,000 lives claimed by the virus since the beginning of the pandemic. the country still averaging more than 300 deaths daily. michele preissler lost her husband last month. >> it's not over, and there are plenty of people with covid in the hospital very sick and dying still. >> reporter: jennifer nash was hospitalized this spring and put on a ventilator while pregnant. doctors performing an emergency c-section last month, and she's now urging others to get vaccinated. >> don't stop now. get vaccinated, and be smart. >> reporter: icu nurse sandra lindsay was the first person in the u.s. to get the vaccine outside of the trials. six months ago today. >> we really need to be each other's keepers, be good citizens, be socially

responsible, be humanitarians for each other. >> reporter: and that nurse getting that first covid vaccine at the hospital right behind me. as for the delta variant, it has doubled here in the u.s., and currently believed to be responsible for an estimated 6% of covid cases in about two months. robin? >> all right, stephanie, thank you. now to the dangerous heat wave in the west. temperatures well into the triple digits, topping 120 degrees in some areas. ginger is live now in salt lake city tracking it all for us. good morning, ginger. >> robin, it's windy here already and you can hear the dry heat coming through of oven-like air. there are all-time june records possible from montana down to the mexican border. the most imminent threat, that's fire, wildfire, here, mandatory evacuations you can see those huge flames billowing above the

tree line. 54% of this state is in exceptional drought. not only could we see that 105 record tied tomorrow, but utah is one of the top five fastest warming states in this country. the more intense duration heat waves. some of the high temperatures just for today the fire danger will be high for many states. robin. >> you're keeping an eye on this. thank you, ginger. we're going to go overseas now to israel where the reign of benjamin netanyahu came to an end sunday. ousted by an unlikely coalition. senior foreign correspondent ian pannell has the latest. good morning, ian. >> reporter: good morning, george. that's right, a new prime minister, the first in 12 years. netanyahu is not prime minister. he was the country's longest serving leader, close ally of the united states, but an

unwilling partner for peace, but just by one vote he was cast out by parliament. he's been replaced by the slightly unwielding coalition. led by two prime ministers. the first naftali bennett is even more hardline than netanyahu, but for now he's calling for ideological restraint, but not much sign of that. protests calling him a traitor. this comes on the back of that bloody war between israel and hamas, but it was netanyahu's ongoing trial for corruption and bribery that appears to be his final undoing. don't expect any changes with america though. president biden was the first to congratulate the new prime minister saying he's looking forward to strengthening all aspects of what he's calling the close and enduring relationship between our two nations. george. >> ian pannell, thank you very much. t.j.? back here in the u.s., another weekend of gun violence. growing fears now we could be heading into a violent summer. more than 270 mass shootings in 2021.

track them down. now the weekend comes as police departments across the country are bracing for what could be a deadly, violent summer as pandemic restrictions are eased across the country, t.j. >> alex, as you said, what are they telling you? police departments, that they're trying to do about this rise in gun violence. >> reporter: yeah, t.j. we've talked to at least five police departments across the country. they are very concerned about the next few months, and most of them tell us they're investing in community policing strategies, and also targeting the most violent offenders hoping to get a grip on things before they get worse, t.j. >> all right, alex, in chicago for us. thank you so much. george? t.j., we'll go to that shocking moment in the middle of a soccer game over the weekend. a player collapsed and went into cardiac arrest on the field. kenneth moton tracking the story. good morning, kenneth. >> reporter: good morning, george. the world is talking about this. let us repeat.

fixed on that lab in china. the wuhan institute of virology is one of the leading centers of research on coronaviruses. for years the lab has been collecting potential ly data on dangerous viruses, some from an abandoned mine in china. >> in 2012 there were six chinese miners who were sent down to clean out the bat manure. they all got infected with what now looks like covid-19-like symptoms. three of them died. >> reporter: researchers collected viruses from those caves, but they say none matches the virus that caused the pandemic. >> there is no virus that's close enough that you could use any type of research to get this. now you could hypothesize i suppose that the investigators at the wuhan institute of virology had something closer, but they weren't telling us about that. >> do you believe that this virus spent any time in a laboratory? >> before the pandemic, absolutely not.

>> reporter: and that remains the consensus among most virologists that this coronavirus has none of the telltale signs of fingerprinting. the u.s. intelligence community reporting there may have been research taking place at that lab that the public doesn't know about. in january, the state department issued a fact sheet on activity at the wuhan institute of virology that alleged in the past the lab collaborated in projects with the military that were kept secret from the world, and learned that the u.s. government was aware of financial accounts tied to the chinese military that were funding the wuhan lab, but this march, one of the lab's directors, known as the bat woman for bat coronaviruses, that the allegation was being conducted for the chinese military. >> we heard the rumors that

claimed that our laboratory, we would have some project blah blah with the army blah blah, but this is not correct. >> the question is, was she telling the truth when she stated emphatically there was no chinese military involvement prior to the outbreak at the wuhan institute of virology? if there was, her credibility flies out the window. >> reporter: now all eyes are turning to the next step in this global investigation. experts bent on parsing fact from speculation. >> it's important to stay open-minded because we don't know exactly what happened. they are scratching the surface. >> reporter: a final note, more than a year ago, top scientists published a letter in the prestigious medical journal "lancet" that dismissed this calling it a conspiracy theory. abc reached out to all scientists who signed that

letter, and a dozen responded saying they're not so sure, is one scientist flipped entirely, and he believes that now the lab leak theory is more likely. george? >> you have to wonder if we're ever going to know one way or the other. terry, thanks so much. you can see the abc news investigation tonight on "nightline." t.j.? coming up here, a very special "play of the day" that includes a live guest, wasabi. ♪ [golf swing] -fore! andy, you seen my ball? it's by those t-shirts. nice.

and i realized, oh, my god. this verse to america, i don't think i can do this. i don't think i can do this to my people. and i was this close to calling my agent to say i can't do this. i knew he would kill me. it just happened honestly that just about that time stephen sondheim changed the lyric. made it possible for me not knowing of course, that i could now do that film. i was heartbroken. i thought, my agent's going to kill me. >> but you stuck to your guns and it worked out for you anyway. last thing here, you're going to be in the remake. what a full circle moment. steven spielberg's remake of "west side story." what was it like being back? >> unbelievable. so fabulous. the girl who plays my part, anita, is wonderful. ariana is fabulous, and i have a part. i have a real part in it. i even sing one song. i can't believe it.

but i guess, because he says it back to me in his very deep voice, which probably sounds a lot better than mine. that's what i'm guessing. >> you have to say it a certain way. you can't just say, i burn for you. >> it has to come from -- yes. somewhere deep. >> i don't have that. you not just on set, but fans felt a certain kind of way when they found out rege-jean would not be coming back for season two, but what's it like now to be doing a season two without him? >> well, it's different, but i think the beauty of the show is that every season is going to be so different. there's going to be a different love story, and it's going to be a completely new sort of story line. so i think it's exciting firstly for us all to be back together, and obviously it's sad that rege isn't with us, and it's honestly just so lovely to be back.

>> i bet it is, and the new love story is your older brother on the show, lord anthony as his quest for love. so what was it like for you to see romance unfold from the other side this season? >> it's really exciting for me. it's so different. it's such a great story line. i think the fans are going to love it, and johnny is amazing, and we have loads of new fantastic cast members which is so exciting to watch as an outsider. so -- well, an insider as well, but from the outside. so yeah. i'm just so excited for people to see the show, and i think they're going to be so thrilled. >> so you all are filming again. you said it's lovely to be back on set. give us a sense of what life is like behind the scenes. >> what it's like behind the scenes. well, it's -- it's covid now, so we have -- we have masks on.

so it's slightly different to the first season. we wrapped the first season right before the pandemic. so it's slightly different, but we have all the crew back, and all the cast back, and i think we're just overjoyed to be with each other again, and get to film -- get to do another season because it's honestly just a really joyful experience, and yeah. we love -- we love it. >> we certainly don't want any season two spoilers, but i'm sure your people sent you here with a nugget of season two. so go ahead and give us a little gossip from season two. >> i wish i could. i wish i could. i would love to, but i cannot. my lips are sealed. >> okay, we'll try this. we'll try another way. we have a lightning round we're going to try to go with to see if we can get something out of you. you ready? >> okay. >> okay. yes or no? will fans be okay with where the

duke of hastings ends up off-screen? >> on mars? yes. they will. >> will julie andrews make a cameo on camera? >> we all would love that. we say that all the time to all the execs of the show. let's keep our fingers crossed. >> okay, this is going to be another -- >> you're good at this. >> very good. >> does anthony actually find love? you can tell us that. we don't know how he gets there, but does he actually find love? >> i can't tell you that. no, that's the fun of the show. >> okay. one word to describe -- we hope so. he deserves it. >> one word to describe season two. >> one word to describe season two. i think just joyous. that's the best way to have describing season two. >> we can't wait for it. thank you for joining us this morning.

do a film on you? >> when i got the call and they said they wanted to do this documentary, and i, you know, i was really kind of surprised. that was just unreal. >> reporter: during her college years at delta state, the 6'3" south mississippi native was the center of attention. >> attention, you know, to me is saying that a lot of people are interested in what we're doing. >> reporter: then in 1977, lucy's talents led to her being the first woman officially drafted by the nba. >> you were drafted by the nba, the new orleans jazz, and you said, no. no thank you, and you have no regrets? no regrets? >> no regrets. i had to have my time as a player, and as a person that traveled all over the world, and i was ready to just settle down with my family. >> reporter: lucy spent more time with loved ones who helped her take charge of her mental health.

>> there are different forms of mental illness. my form is bipolar. it didn't surface until after i stopped playing. i had a nervous breakdown. i had to return home, and i began to pick myself up. >> reporter: her proudest accomplishment? her four children and grandchildren creating a lasting legacy on and off the court. >> christopher is a lawyer. eddie has a masters. christina received her doctorate. christa has a doctorate in education. >> what do you want people to learn from your story? >> i especially want the young people to understand that if you work hard, really willing to work hard, anything is possible. >> can i tell you? i'm as proud of her today as i was as a small child in mississippi watching her play,

and the film is beautiful. she waited to watch the documentary for the first time at its premiere last week here in new york, and she received a huge standing ovation.

we now turn to the man known as captain america. no, that's not chris evans. i'm talking about christian pulisic. we're talking about the captain america of soccer. he's won two major championships within eight days. the champions league crown with chelsea, and then kicked the winning goal to take the nations league championship with team usa. christian, good to see you, my man. what do you think of that, people calling you captain america? what do you think when you hear that? >> i don't know how i feel about that. obviously there are some other captain americas out there, but it's an honor i guess. >> you have been picking up some hardware here lately. what is it like for a kid from hershey, pennsylvania, to pick up a champions league -- first american to play in and win, in the champions league. you're a kid from hershey, pennsylvania. >> yeah, it's unbelievable. i never thought i would be able to play on this stage. so i feel extremely lucky, and being able to take a big championship like this home, it makes me proud, and for all the

americans. >> people have been talking about you since you were a teenager, and talking about you being the face of u.s. soccer, you have delivered on all of that and more in a lot of ways very early on. do you always feel that weight? i know you had dreams as a kid of playing soccer, but now are you seeing where you have a larger role, and you feel that weight of almost carrying u.s. soccer to another level? >> i really just love the game. i love soccer so much. that's how i try to think of it and i try to enjoy every single moment that i can. i try not to put too much pressure on myself, and yeah, try to enjoy it. >> what was it like being back home? you grew up and started playing soccer at 4, but the place you learned to play soccer, you went back there recently. tell me what you did. >> yes, so, being able to go back to pennsylvania, my hometown classics, i was able to build a new little facility there, and some new fields out there. hopefully the kids can enjoy that, and it's just really

special to me to give back to the club that, you know, gave me my first start in the game. >> i keep giving you these names, captain america. your name is christian, but you're also the most expensive american soccer player ever, and what that means is never before had a european club paid so much for a transfer fee just so they could get the rights to you to join that team. that was some $70 million plus, folks. i know that label sounds crazy as well, but what do you think about that as well? that you have made it to that point that a club wanted you that badly? >> yeah. it's nowadays with all the numbers going around, it can be a bit crazy, but it's really about just sticking to what i do, and like i said before, trying to enjoy it because i think that's the main thing. >> people want to learn a little bit more about you here. you live in london now, right? >> yes. >> a quick lightning round stuff here. favorite english food? >> fish and chips. >> fish and chips. when you are there in london, do you say fish and chips? what's the right way to order it there? >> i think you have to have an accent and say, can i have the

fish and chips please? >> okay, next question, what should did you binge during the pandemic? >> i would say "queen's gambit." >> have you ever seen "the devil wears prada"? >> no. >> george, robin, i hope y'all were listening downstairs. what's your guilty pleasure? >> i would say maybe watching "gossip girl." >> okay, and who would you say in your life is your biggest fan? >> my biggest fan is probably my brother. got to be my brother. >> okay, well, you told me you only get about three weeks off during the year and this is in that window. enjoy your time off. been watching you for a while, and you are just delivering. you really are. congratulations on the success. kid from hershey, pennsylvania. right? >> thank you so much. stay with us. coming up, we have fashion mogul rebecca minkoff on the trends for the summer. stay with us. fashion mogul rebeck is rebec rebecca minkoff

♪ back now with fashion mogul turned debut author rebecca minkoff, and her brand-new book called "fearless." "the new rules for unlocking courage and success." she's up there on the big screen here in new york city. good morning. congratulations. i can't wait. we're going to talk about "fearless," but first, life is starting to get back to normal as you know, and as we ditch our, you know, that work from home look, what fashion trends are you most looking forward to this summer, rebecca? >> oh, man, i am so excited to finally wear a tiny heel. not something big, but we have these incredible heels that are about two inches. so as we emerge from flats, this is a good gradient, and loose-fitting dresses. i think they're forgiving, they're breathable, and we have all been in our lounge wear for a long time, and this is a great way -- i wish i could show you

what i'm wearing today. it's a loose-fitting dress and some thin heels. >> just easing back in. that's what we have to do. >> yes. >> let's talk about your book, and congratulations again. "fearless" is all about courage. it's not about -- not being afraid of challenges and not being afraid to break the rules. what do you think the key is to being truly fearless? >> so first, i want to say, we're all going to experience fear. you don't read this book and you magically don't have fear. the goal is you don't let fear stop you from achieving your passions and your pursuits. key things. we're adults and we don't need to ask permission from other adults to go forward and achieve our path. we need to trust our gut. that term is famous for a reason, and networking and great communication skills are key. i think you can always communicate a problem or communicate what you want if you get good at practicing that. getting what you want along your path is going to be far easier. >> and there's something else. this is all great advice that you talk about in your book. designing your purpose, not your

paycheck. designing your purpose, not your paycheck. now, for those who may feel like, they aren't able to pursue their dream job because of a lack of resources, what's your advice there? >> i want to say that we all have this instant gratification. we push a button and our car arrives or a package arrives, but your career is not that. it's a journey. it's important that you make a plan, and you might have to sacrifice. i had a colleague who started as a receptionist, elizabeth leonard now helps me run my nonprofit. she made a plan, she was patient and she made sacrifices that paid off, and i think if you take it as the long view that your passion is what is going to make you happiest, then it's worth those things that might, you know, take longer. >> yeah. be patient, and persistent. that's what i always say. you shared a picture of the corner of prince street and greene street here in the city and it's a really special place

for you and your career. why is that? what does it feel like to walk by that corner now? >> i mean, first of all it feels surreal. i lived on the corner of thompson and spring in soho where i couldn't pay my rent. i was sleeping my egg crates making my famous i heart new york shirt thinking i made it where i was avoiding my roommate because i couldn't pay rent, and to walk by there now is surreal because we're at 900 points of sale, we're a global company, and it was a dream i had, that, you know, lots of people have dreams, but it became a reality. >> you worked really hard at that, and you're making your book available to many aspiring young entrepreneurs? can you tell us more about that? >> yes. we have an incredible free event actually tomorrow on book launch day, and we're supporting a couple of incredible organizations like girl up and nxt, and we want to be able to give these books for free to these women and men who are joining us tomorrow.

if you head over to the linkedin my bio on instagram, you can register, but only the nonprofit partners get the free book, and pinterest has been a great underwriter for the event. we're grateful for them. >> we're grateful to you. thank you for sharing and being here, and we're very, very happy for you. you're an author now. it's got to be a great feeling. >> i'm an author. >> yes. "fearless" is available everywhere tomorrow. thank you, rebecca.
