when we could see the emergence of two nations, the northeast have vaccinated enough people to halt virus transmission. but just like last summer when we saw a surge in the south, i think we could see that again because such a low percentage of the population is immunized at this point. >> reporter: the delta variant fueling outbreaks in places like southwest missouri, the show me state seeing a 46.5% rise in cases in the last two weeks. >> the patients are younger and sicker, the people not vaccinated. >> reporter: and looking at the current trends, it appears that country will miss president biden's goal of 70% of american adults at least partially vaccinated by july 4th. robin? >> does seem that way. eva, thank you. now to that urgent manhunt for the suspect seen opening fire in front of two children in the bronx. police releasing a new picture of the shooter after another

violent weekend across the country. stephanie ramos joins us with more. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: robin, good morning. violence surged across the country this weekend. here in new york city, those two young children escaped tragedy by mere inches after that gunman opened fire. this morning, the manhunt is on for this suspect involved in a dramatic shooting in new york city. nypd releasing this image of the 24-year-old suspect they say shot a man inches away from children in the bronx. the young kids were on their way to a candy store last thursday evening when the gunman opened fire on his intended target. you can see this 10-year-old girl shield her 5-year-old brother as the gunman unloads. >> i'm disgusted. i'm going to be honest with you. it's very alarming. >> reporter: the victim was struck in the leg and back and taken to the hospital where he's expected to survive. miraculously the kids were not injured.

george? >> stephanie, thanks very much. we go to iran where a hard-line candidate won the presidential election over the weekend. one big question now what will it mean for nuclear talks. mary bruce has the latest. first let's go to ian pannell. good morning, ian. >> reporter: good morning, george. that's the right, the head of the judiciary ebrahim raisi is going to be the new iranian president after a landslide victory, but a flawed election. controversily, his rivals were disqualified from running and less than half of eligible voters actually turned out because there's so much disillusionment with both sides. iranian tv were blaming the pandemic and u.s. sanctions for that low turnout. the result is a victory for the hardliners because raisi is a favorite of the supreme leader ali khamenei.

although this is a defeat for reformers who wanted closer ties with the west, analysts believe it won't likely affect iran's ongoing talks with america to revise the nuclear deal. but this morning, the incoming president insisting sanctions must be lifted and in the last hour saying he wouldn't be prepared to sit down and meet with president biden. george? >> okay, ian, thanks. yesterday on "this week" i brought this question to the president's national security adviser jake sullivan. >> our paramount priority is to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. we believe diplomacy is the best way to achieve that rather than military conflict. we're going to negotiate in a clear-eyed, firm way with the iranians to see if we can arrive at an outcome that puts their nuclear program into a box. >> let's bring in mary bruce. what's the next step for the biden administration? >> reporter: the white house it seems is cautiously optimistic.

their plan is to keep their eye on the ball. raisi's win as you heard isn't expected to derail these talks to try to restart the 2015 nuclear deal that was scrapped by former president trump. in fact, there's some thought this presents a unique window to finally get this deal done before the new president takes office later this summer. sullivan saying, quote, the arrow is pointed in the right direction in these talks. he was also blunt in saying that what comes next here may not be up to the new president, but rather the supreme leader. they believe the ayatollah is interested in restarting the deal, he wants to get rid of these crippling sanctions, and ul ultima ultimately, he's the one with the final word. there are questions around sanctions and the longevity of any deal. >> mary bruce, thanks. t.j.? let's turn to that incredible sight and incredible comeback for golfer jon rahm. he won the u.s. open, his first major. that's a big enough deal. this comes two weeks after he was forced to drop out of another tournament he was

leading because of a positive covid test. janai norman has that story. this had to be all the more sweeter. given what he went through two weeks ago. >> absolutely. what a whirlwind 15 days it has been for jon rahm. from that devastating blow at the memorial tournament, doubled over with tears learning he had tested positive, to the tears of joy yesterday. >> another one has landed. >> reporter: this morning, an incredible comeback victory as 26-year-old jon rahm won at the 121st u.s. open in san diego. >> that's a goosebump moment. >> reporter: and making history as the first spaniard to take the title. the conquering moment comes two weeks after rahm withdrew from another major tournament after testing positive for covid-19. he was informed live on television with a six-stroke lead. >> oh, boy.

>> reporter: but bouncing back big time sunday, birdieing two holes to come back from behind and win the u.s. open by one stroke. >> i was never resentful or blaming anybody. this is a lesson to all of us that from the darkest moments and the biggest, you know, setbacks, some of the biggest breakthroughs can happen. >> reporter: not only is this his first major win, but sunday marked his first father's day since his wife kelly gave birth to their son. >> to walk off the course and to be able to hold my little boy puts things in perspective. he's the one that matters. >> rahm said he believed through the biggest setbacks we can have the biggest breakthroughs. and after he was forced to isolate, he kept telling his family and everyone around him, something good is going to come, and boy, did it. >> yes. >> those clutch birdies down the stretch. >> that was something. >> stayed positive and it worked for him. >> it did.

>> thanks, janai. we're following a lot of other headlines, including what palace insiders are saying about the rift between harry and william that led to the royal breakup. and what a teenage is saying about a bear that attacked her while camping with her family. how their quick thinking saved their life. and janai will be right back because amazon prime day is on. it's on like the break of dawn. actually the break of dawn it was on. we're breaking down the best deals. let's go back to ginger. >> reporter: keep singing on the break of dawn. at the break of dawn, it was pretty gusty at the outer banks. i got pictures. now it's all about a cold front and heavy rain in parts already sturated. let's get the select cities now sponsored by facebook groups.

harry. according to an excerpt from "battle of brothers" palace insiders say it was william and not harry who initiated the breakup of the fab four. harry recently implied to oprah that jealousy over the couple's was responsible for a shift in successful trip to australia in the south pacific was responsible for a shift in relations between the families. similar to a trip their mother took abroad that out shined prince charles. >> my father, my brother, kate and the rest of the family were really welcoming, but it really changed after the australian tour, after our south pacific tour. >> are you saying there were hints of jealousy? >> look, i -- i just wish that we would all learn from the past. >> reporter: but according to lacey's book, william would say the tipping point was earlier that month after an explosive argument between the brothers about the way meghan was reportedly treating staff.

harry and meghan have denied those claims. according to the book, william confronted harry about the bullying allegations. harry reportedly defended meghan, and william hung up, william wanting to address it in person. the book says william instructed a royal aid to start the process of dividing the houses. william wished to be separated from meghan on a day-to-day basis. a quote saying william threw harry out. >> until now, the dominant narratives have been this was about their divergent paths or that this is about harry and meghan's bid for freedom, but actually this book is now saying that it's william who made a very decisive decision not to work with the sussexes. >> reporter: neither kensington palace nor representatives for the sussexes are commenting on the book's allegations. npr releasing an interview with meghan about the importance of representation in children's literature and her new book. >> growing up, i remember so

>> reporter: yeah, t.j., so many people want to get outdoors. the great smokey mountain national park is the most popular national park in the country to visit. it's also home to an estimated 1,500 black bears. this family followed all camping guidelines. that couldn't stop this unwelcome visitor. this morning, a 16-year-old girl recovering after waking up in a nightmare, a black bear attacking her while she was sleeping in a hammock just feet away from her family in great smokey mountains national park. >> this bear was exhibiting predatory behavior. this bear attacked in the middle of the night with no known provocation. >> reporter: despite injuries to her head and an incredible amount of blood loss officials say the girl was conscious throughout the attack. >> fortunately the family was close by and able to scare the bear away and keep it at bay until the rangers arrived. >> reporter: their back country campsite nearly six miles from the trailhead, with steep terrain and thick foliage, tennessee national guard had to perform an emergency evacuation

mission by helicopter. >> we had to do the hoist rescue into a very tight space. had to drop the medic down through a small hole in the trees, so that can be a pretty intense operation. >> reporter: after the attack two bears were spotted in the area. officials say one larger male repeatedly tried to enter the campsite despite attempts to scare it off. rangers then shooting and killing the bear the family identified as the one responsible for the attack. park officials saying the family of five properly secured their backpacks and food as visitors are instructed to do, and unable to distance themselves from the animal responded appropriately to the attack. >> if a bear continues to approach you, or if it shows aggressive behavior as in this situation, we encourage everyone to fight back, do everything they can to discourage that behavior. in this instance, the family was successfully able to thwart that bear from anymore serious attack. >> reporter: this comes just days after a woman in alaska was chased off a hiking trail by grizzly bears. she fended them off with bear

spray, but it took 40 hours for her to find her way back to safety. as national parks are flooded with guests, encounters with bears are on the rise, but attacks are rare. black bears are the most common in north america, grizzlies more scarce. if you come face to face with a bear, being able to tell what type it is that may save your life. if you're attacked by a grizzly bear, experts say play dead. if it's a black bear, they say do everything you can to fight back, to scare it off. guys, i'm going to opt just for avoiding the wilderness altogether, and avoid any type of an encounter with one of these bears. guys? >> it's good to know the difference and what to do. kaylee, thank you very much. coming up next, amazon prime day is officially under way. we're going to tell you about the biggest deals out there right now. come on back. from prom dresses to workouts

ginger is tracking it all. >> reporter: george, you never want to see a tornado. you certainly don't want to see a tornado where millions of people live just west of chicago, but that's exactly what happened just before midnight their time. look at this, this is the i have owe from just moments ago, that's what happened just before midnight. seeing roofs ripped off. i anticipate this will be a strong. naperville, that shows some of the damage from the ground. from there you had 30 some thousand without power. in detroit area more than 100,000 without power. so it was not just chicago, and then iowa showing you what a tornado looks like in the day when that system was getting going. so the severe today, you do still have a risk. if you are in western pennsylvania or you're in parts of western new york, all the way to burlington, vermont and northern maine, you have to be on the lookout. damaging wind is the primary threat. claudette, that caused significant damage because of more than a foot of rain.

look at mobile, alabama, trying to push through the flooding there. they're so saturated, robin, and now claudette is moving at 28 miles per hour off the coast of north carolina it'll go. it will leave some heavy rain, but it's mostly about those gusty winds, robin. >> claudette has been something else. ginger, thank you. now to that massive travel mess. american airlines canceled close to 400 flights over the weekend. warning there's more on the way. transportation correspondent gio benitez is at newark airport. what's behind it? good morning, gio. >> reporter: robin, good morning again. think about this, more than half of all canceled flights in the u.s. yesterday were american airlines flights. we've learned that they're having significant issues with staffing and maintenance. over the weekend as you said about 400 flights canceled. today we're already looking at more than 100. the airline tells us a high number of employees are calling out sick. they also have significant staffing shortages and aircraft maintenance issues. this will go well into july.

when it's your first mlb game and your favorite player gets thrown out. not to worry, though. votto and the reds springing into action. by the time the fourth inning abigail had a personal apology in the form of a signed baseball from votto. the reds invited abigail back to sunday's game where she met her hero, get a picture with him and watch him play the whole game. nice way to start the week. sending it back to you guys in the studio. please do let me know when you decide what kind of boots they are. >> will do, lara. >> thank you, lara. we move on now to our "gma" cover story. the box office is coming back.

to broadway, product rollouts to freshly minted pop stars. sometimes all you need is a big hit. u.s. movie theaters coast to coast are hoping that their first big hit for summertime '21 is a few days away. it's not just vin diesel and michelle rodriguez looking to take flight. friday june 29th, the film business in the u.s. is hoping to swing back into action as "f9" debuts stateside in movie houses only. expectations are that the film could blow the doors off next weekend's box office. amped up by its high-octane performance overseas. outside the u.s. "f9" has banked over $300 million. that's the kind of mega gross that since the pandemic, only two filaments have achieved. that was "godzilla v. kong."

and what was that? >> as i understand it, you're trying to prevent world war iii. >> reporter: "f9" looks to restart that back to the movie theater momentum, maybe with a $50 million plus opening. >> let's get to work. >> you don't know everything about me. >> reporter: that could in turn pave the way for july's major hybrid releases, among them, "black widow". >> i'm a cartoon. >> reporter: and "space jam." that's coming to living rooms and theaters simultaneously. in case you're wondering, theater owners saw 2017's "the fate of the furious" open over a holiday weekend and earned $107 million. anything close to that number for "f9" would drive them wild. guys? >> we got it, chris. thank you. it's time to "rise & shine" as we continue to travel across the country to celebrate states

re-opening. this morning, we're in alaska where the sun never completely goes down this time of year. will is having the time of his life. good morning again, will. >> reporter: good morning, robin, i'm having a great time. there's so much to see and explore here in alaska. the scenery is marvelous. turns out the people are too. there are so many small businesses that have suffered in the past year. in a state that relies so heavily on tourism, but as people start to come back, they're more than happy to welcome people here to the natural and human wonders of alaska. it's rugged, raw and remote. its glaciers and mountains stunning. for visitors left full of wonder. perhaps the most iconic and unique way to get around, dog sled. this man is part of the family

of dog mushing. he runs the family's tour company iditaride. >> last year was a total loss. i think we did 10% of a normal year. that was in 2020. >> reporter: but as alaska opens up, danny says his company is bouncing back big time. these guys are fired up to do what they love. >> all right! >> reporter: i got to meet the future stars of the iditarod. these puppies are a month old. they don't have names. there's a naming contest here. let me enter. robin, george, michael, ginger.

normalcy, and i think they felt like they needed that, and we needed that. >> reporter: and if you are looking for marine life, come to alaska. captain bixler mcclure has a lot to show. >> lots of people traveling that haven't travelled in the past year. checking off the bucket list. just being out here in this beautiful scenery. >> reporter: like many, i dreamed about seeing whales in alaska. just over our shoulder there's a pod of orcas. >> there they are, right there. >> oh, cool. oh my god. >> reporter: at the end of my great alaska adventure, it's clear the landscape might be what draws people to alaska, but it's the people that are the soul of this state. >> rise and shine, alaska. >> rise and shine, alaska. >> rise and shine, alaska. >> reporter: just really wonderful people here, including stephanie from sunny cove kayaking who hooked me up with this. captain joshua took us out here,

at midnight, and believe it or not, it was just about this bright outside. what they say is true. summer solstice in alaska they get about 20 hours of sunlight per day which leaves plenty of room for activities. we did plenty of them here. i'm kind of exhausted from all the fun stuff we did. luckily we got some coffee that i have been crushing, and i believe you in the studio have some goldies from anchorage there to enjoy, my treat. lots of fun and meaningful experiences here in alaska. >> thank you for the gifts. from maine to alaska. you the man. you're seeing this beautiful country. >> reporter: coast to coast. >> coast to coast. we appreciate it, will. now let's check in again with ginger. ginger? >> reporter: robin, one of my favorite memories was calling you from a satellite phone from denali to tell you all about it. i can't wait to share this with you because today is the first day of astronomical summer, and the u.n. is asking us to show your stripes. what you are seeing there on the map is a representation of the

temperature compared to average. that rapid rise that we have not seen even in climatology. the last 40 years is what you have to focus on. it's all about a change in climate thanks to our greenhouse gas emissions. it's the start of summer. good monday morning, welcome to the first full day of astronomical summer. the heatwave is over. below average highs through thursday and then warm-hot for the bay and inland neighborhood. tonight a little more drivel out there, temperatures about the same, more cloud cover. we turn now to one of our favorite guests. an incredible comedian, actor

and best-selling author, and now he's a voice in "luca." jim gaffigan. i meant everything i just said, we'll talk to him live in just a second, but let's take a quick look at a clip from the movie. >> i can't believe he would do this. it's not like him. >> keep your guard up. there will be land monsters everywhere. >> wait. ow. it's me. >> you scared the scales off of me. >> geez, you're strong. >> i'm just a little on edge. >> it woke me up. >> wow, we look horrifying. >> oh, gross. >> jim, let me bring you in here. you play the father of a teenage sea monster who runs away with a friend. now, in real life you're a dad to five -- i have it right -- five kids. what was father's day like? you're not with them because you're on location working right now. >> i'm in vancouver working on a movie. it was a little bit sad.

but it's also -- that's what dads want on father's day, is like to feel like they're a father in a weird way. it was kind of just decompressing and doing a facetime with everyone. i should point out, for this movie, i gained 50 pounds for this role. they were like you don't need to do that. it's animated. i did it anyway. >> you look good now. have the kids given you a review of the movie yet? >> well, they loved it. i love how my kids are always surprised. they're like it's good. i'm like hopefully i'm associated with good things. they're the toughest critics. it's pixar so you know there's, you know, a quality that's consistent with pixar. it's just so exciting as an actor and performer to be associated with pixar. >> well, jim, are you able to --

even though it's animated, you do play a dad, an animated dad. is there anything from your experience in real life as a dad that you can bring into a role like this? >> well, i think that lorenzo is kind of overwhelmed. hopefully i'm not as distracted as the character i play in "luca." but there's something to be said for, it wasn't a stretch to play a distracted, overwhelmed dad. that's kind of in my wheelhouse. i feel like that's my experience in parenting. >> like, when folks go -- we've been doing we've been doing stories about seeing crowds gathering again at games, at concerts. you're going back on tour coming up pretty soon. i assume you're excited about that. when you get back out there, are people going to see that new look of yours with the santa claus thing? i'm not making fun. you're the one saying you look kind of like a santa claus. >> well, i look like a very sexy

santa claus or a very -- i would say like santa claus if he was portrayed by c. everett coop. you know what i mean? no, but, this is for -- i'm shooting "peter pan" out here, of course, playing the role of wendy. no. it's smee. he has to have this thing. i'm a beard guy, but not this crazy of a beard. >> okay, well, thank you for keeping me from having to call you a sexy santa claus. you said it yourself. we got in there. jim, it's always the pleasure. >> it's the truth. >> it's always a pleasure to see yu.

welcome back. let's talk about the weather. we have a little drizzle, especially in the higher elevations. it will be windy through the delta for the evening commute. the heat wave is over with temperatures anywhere from 1 to 8 degrees cooler than average. this will last for a couple of days. right now the bay area air quality management district has us at good air quality. i'll keep an eye on the willow fire because that smoke is

supposed to drift northward today through wednesday, our coolest day. >> thank you. we'll havemo i don't think i ever could imagine a tea party quite like this. but i'm loving it. i'm loving it. >> tea time. >> totally unscripted. >> it's your show. >> >> yeah, girl. >> you have to navigate a world where you're not expected. >> it was really hard, but i'm proud of it. >> yes. >> i would often get in trouble because i would speak my mind. >> no one could put you in a box. >> i'm going to stop you, i would like to hear you answer that question. >> can't believe i'm going to share this. >> good luck. >> i did not allow hollywood to really tamper with the core me. >> i felt like i was violated. and part of my healing was to

share my story. >> i dealt with so much racism and i went from something i wasn't to who i really actually am. >> because of women like you, i am here. >> i said i'm actually female and he said, yeah, whatever. >> vulnerability is a strength. it's not a weakness. >> vulnerability is courage. >> as a transperson i feel like love and support is few and far between. but my mom handled it with so much grace and compassion. >> if one woman heard you say that, that's the reason we're here. >> acting, dancing, producing, stand up, mentoring. are we leaving anything else? >> i can't take anymore. >> it's really powerful. >> it's what i do. i bring people together. >> it's what she does. robin roberts, what you saw was the premiere trailer for

robin's new series "turning the tables" where robin gets personal and dynamic. wow. >> and they felt like wow talking to each other. >> looked like so much fun. >> george, it was. we did it out in l.a. it was so beautiful to sit down, not have any questions, and just talk. here we get to talk to people, but it's always about their projects, sometimes you want to know more about them. not to be able to just have that kind of freedom and all the guests were amazing. i'm very excited. teaming up with lebron james prduction company and my production company. i'm teammates with the king. >> "turning the tables" with robin roberts, premieres july 28th on disney plus. really looking forward to that. >> thank you for that. we want to go back to alaska right now with will reeve.

will, you learned a lot about all those tribes in the state of alaska. >> reporter: i absolutely did, george. that's right, and we right now are guests in the traditional territory of the tribe. they're one of more than 229 tribes native to alaska. i spent the day learning a bit about native culture and their own brand of olympics. in alaska, the olympic motto faster, higher, stronger on a unique and historic form. >> the world eskimo indian olympics. >> reporter: founded in 1961 the world eskimo indian olympics making its return after a pandemic pause in 2020. outside anchorage i tried the one-foot high kick. this might be a spectator sport for me. and the scissor broad jump.

that's the hard one. until i found my game. the eskimo stick pull. i like this game. this is my game. these games are an homage to their elders. >> this is what they do up north to jump across ice. >> reporter: the heritage center memorializes indigenous traditions like whaling. what is happening here? >> reporter: these whale bones are first used as landmarks. >> we're in front of the totem pole. the top is made to represent the grandpa. that's the nephew. the children carry the weight of the ancestors. it's up to us to pass on the culture. >> reporter: the artists here channeling the spirit of their elders, adapting to the changing terrain. keeping old traditions alive, like jewelry making.

>> i think we've had 80 zoom classes, all the way from london, northwest territories in canada. >> reporter: now with restrictions lifting visitors are returning to experience all the center has to offer. >> this is strawberry yogurt. >> reporter: this is an ice cream made of bananas, honey -- >> our food is still very wild out in the country. we native people of alaska still eat our native food. >> reporter: this elder sharing her secret ingredient. >> sometimes the fish is added. the fish is boiled, the bones taken out. the fish made is very flakey. that's added into there. >> reporter: no fish in today's batch though, maybe next time. ourthanks to all the people we met here in alaska. it really has been a transformative experience made magical by the people here.

the sense of community that they have is unparalleled. i think it's something about this state they appreciate what they have here. they're so welcoming, including this morning, midnight we arrive on this beach, and there's a woman camping here. she came here for two years to experience alaska. she's been here 27 years. she welcomed us to her tent. what a great place to "rise & shine." cheese to alaska. >> what time is it where you are, will? >> reporter: it is currently 4:36 in the morning local time. it's been this bright for a couple hours now. >> amazing. thank you to you and the whole "rise & shine" crew. safe travels back home. you got to get there, t.j. >> it's on the list. it is. >> we'll be right back. t.j.

welcome back to "good morning america." i can't wait to share this next guest with you, a beloved bachelorette desiree hartsock. she has a new book coming out, "the road to roses." she had her heart broken twice, on national tv, but has bounced back. desiree, welcome back to "good morning america." >> thank you so much. >> we are so happy to have you on "gma."

i have to ask about katie's season. what do you think about her? do you have any advice for her? >> i'm loving watching katie on this season. i think she exudes confidence. the only advice i would give her is truly follow her heart and weed out all the bad guys. >> so far red flags are flying and she's taking care of them. so, desiree, i know in the book you're super transparent about your highs and your lows, all the hurt and more. why now? why share it now? it's been a while. >> it has been a while. it's been eight years. but you know what, i feel like timing is everything in every aspect of life. i really had to go through so much after the show in order to really tell my story from a place of healing and a place that i can then impact others. so it feels right. i don't know.

it just feels right, especially with everything that's happened in the past year, a story of hope is needed. >> for sure. you get little peeks of it throughout the last eight years. now we're going to get the real dirt and your side of the story about what happened when brooks and all that rejection. then you chose chris and kind of a story line took a turn of you settled and that was not the case. >> not at all. it was really disheartening that that was the narrative that kind of was taken by a lot of people. you know what, i'm just so thankful for my life with chris and my family and it's really exciting to be able to share my story because it wasn't just my rejection from brooks. it was like years and years of this same pattern that i had to overcome. i'm so thankful chris was there to be my knight in shining armor. >> you've been through a lot. now you can help lead us.

i know you say hang on to hope. what are three ways people can take away to hang on to hope today? >> first and foremost it's waking up with gratitude each and every day. to be thankful and grateful for what you do have. secondly, i think it's important to surround yourself with great people, a support system. and if you're taking inventory of that right now and it doesn't look good, then it's time to get new friends. three, i think it's really, really, really important to continue to believe in yourself and believe that there is a better future to come. the best is yet to come. i think that's important to keep in mind. >> desiree, thank you so much. w'll be talking about that pant suit. i'll dm you later. "the road to roses" comes out tomorrow. congratulations on the book.
