breakthrough cases are growing. overnight the yankees forced to postpone their game against the red sox after three yankees pitchers tested positive, all of them fully vaccinated. >> certainly disappointing and frustrating. >> reporter: i fruit and his wife also testing positive after taking a trip to las vegas, despite being fully vaccinated. sean says their kids then got sick. they're too young to be vaccinated. >> i'm pretty confident if i hadn't had the boost from the vaccination, i might not be standing here talking to you right now. >> reporter: as the school year approaches, concern mounting of possible outbreaks among unvaccinated children. nationwide only a quarter of kids 12 to 15 are fully immunized and arizona's chandler unified district school back in session wednesday and the state has made it illegal to mandate masks. >> i think we'll have some students opting to wear masks and some not opting to wear masks and i think everybody will be very accepting of those personal choices. >> reporter: educator katie nash has two school-aged children,

one of them is immunocompromised. >> we need to have a mask mandate back again. i am very nervous. my children will be wearing masks when they return. >> reporter: her daughters want their classmates to wear masks. >> i don't want to get sick. >> me neither. >> reporter: of course, people are still getting sick even if they are vaccinated. the silver lining, if there is one, the vast majority of those so-called breakthrough infections, the symptoms have been relatively mild but still business owners across the country are concerned of additional lockdowns just as they're getting back on their feet, george. >> that's right, matt. cdc is set to meet on booster shots? >> reporter: there is a federal advisory panel going to meet next week to decide whether to give booster shots to the most vulnerable to those immunocompromised even if they don't recommend it for the general population.

games. >> covid is deadly so the first thing we think about is not who can i get for our team. it's how are they their symptoms. >> reporter: this is the centerpiece of the tokyo games, a $1.5 billion stadium. take a look at all the security around it. this is about as close as they'll get to their own olympic games. case numbers going up. tokyo recording over a thousand cases a day for the past three days, the highest levels in six months. tokyo 2020 publishing this positive case list, more and more teams from around the world impacted. and as things stand, all events are due to take place as planned but if there are more athletes who test positive or contact trace i think organizers will have to maybe think again and respond further. michael? >> scary thought there, james. the olympic officials will keep close tabs on athletes for covid purposes, right? >> reporter: well, that's right. michael, we're all tracked pretty heavily here. everybody here, athletes,

journalists have to have apps to track us at all times. i have one here. you have to have this which tracks your health and every day i'm required to put in all my health details, symptoms, temperature. if i don't i get a push notification to force me and if still i don't, tokyo 2020 comes to knock at my door. i have a bluetooth app on all the time. if it's not on and they can't track me, my location somewhere in tokyo, then, again, they track me down. if i go to a place i'm not meant to go we get told off. all the athletes have to go through this. a lot of stress. as an athlete having to compete under those conditions, i think will be difficult for them. michael? >> adds another level of stress like you said. james, thank you so much. cecelia? we're going to turn to that extreme weather emergency in the west. new evacuations overnight as wildfires rage and the fourth heat wave in five weeks hits. kayna whitworth is there in salt lake city with the very latest on this. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: hey, cecilia, good morning. so in addition to that heat, nearly two-thirds of the west, 60% is in extreme or exceptional drought, the highest number

who eat six times their body weight each day. the usda predicts nearly 35 million acres could be impacted by grasshoppers. so that means the devastation of this drought could be seen for years to come. for example, officials hearsay these boats may not go back in the water for two more years. >> wow, just so disturbing. kayna, thank you so much. george? overseas a flooding disaster in europe. rivers burst their banks and dozens killed. hundreds more missing. marcus moore is in germany with the latest. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: well, george, good morning. here in this town they're in the process of trying to clean out. they're pumping out massive amounts of water there. that filled the homes and businesses there. furniture covered in mud. there are cars that are also drying out but you can see the water line.

we'll switch gears and turn now to the return to the movie theaters. "black widow" taking the box office by storm. set a record for fastest film to rake in more than 100 million bucks during this pandemic and the one and only t.j. holmes is going to break it all >> the fastest movie to $100 million. it was so fast that it was faster than a movie called "fast and the furious." it took "f9" eight days to hit $100 million in the u.s. "black widow" did it in six days and now "black widow" is the fourth movie to cross $100 million during the pandemic. a lot of people pointing to this thinking these are welcome signs that movie theaters are back. people are willing to go to the movies. so you had "godzilla versus kong" and "a quiet place" and "f9" broke those records and now "black widow." maybe the momentum is there. four movies now have crossed the $100 million mark. in 2019 before the pandemic you know how many did it? 29.

>> whoa. >> we're not there yet, but these are welcome signs and something else we've been talking about for awhile. the streaming, right? "black widow" was released in streaming at the same time it was released in theaters but it's a huge success. so they're still trying to figure out what exactly works and what the appetite is. >> success on both fronts. >> disney announced it made 60 million domestically in streaming. people stayed at home and watched it. they went to the theater and watch watched it. they re're trying to figure it . >> i still haven't been to the theater yet. have you? >> i've seen "quiet place." >> george and i are going to a movie soon. if you don't want to go -- if you want to go to a movie do not go saturday at 9:00 eastern. why, cecilia? >> why, t.j.? >> that's when game five -- >> that's right. i knew that. i saw it coming. you set me up. >> -- is taking place. go see a movie, but not at that time. we are following a lot of

mark and 82-year-old wally funk training in the 1950s to become an astronaut, but never going. >> we'll fly you up in space on the very first flight. >> reporter: daemen sharing his excitement this this video posted to twitter. >> i am super excited to go to space and join them inflight. i've been dreaming about it all my life. >> reporter: the dutch student pilot who just graduated high school is the first paying customer for blue origin. we don't know exactly how much he paid. but we know he was part of that same auction that led to the $28 million purchase. >> thank you so much for the people of blue origin for making this happen and making new shepherds. >> reporter: the four will launch to space with no pilot on board. there are a few ground rules for passengers. all must be 18, fit enough to climb seven flights of stairs in 90 seconds. weigh between 110 and 223 and be at least five feet tall but no taller than 6'4".

the 11-minute flight will give them three minutes of weightlessness at the edge of space, 62 miles from the earth's surface. each has less than 15 seconds to fasten and unfasten their seat harness. experiencing more than 5gs in force as the ship falls back to earth. this launch just days after richard branson became the first to fly aboard his own spaceship beating bezos in the so-called billionaire space race. >> all you kids down there, i was once a child with a dream. >> reporter: meanwhile, bezos and the crew will soon head to a remote desert site in van horn, texas. we'll be heading there too and cover it all from there on tuesday morning. guys? >> we know you'll be on the scene, gio. let's get more on this from our aviation expert stephen ganyard. let's start out with the differences between the branson spaceflight and this bezos

upcoming spaceflight. >> yeah, george, what bezos is doing, it's a rocket ship. what richard branson had was really a glider with a small rocket on it. so one uses an airplane to go up to the edge of space, one is a rocket that will come back down on a parachute. two very different ways. about the same amount of weightlessness, three to four minutes and a lot of money. >> yeah, a lot of money, steve. steve, what is the next step in space travel? >> michael, there are competing visions. really musk and bezos driving this revolution in space. musk wants to go to mars. he wants to colonize other planets to colonize the solar system and he said he wants to die on mars, just not on impact. bezos has a very different vision. he wants to leave the earth to save it. he wants to decrease our reliance on earth's resources, do things polluting outside the atmosphere. bezos wants to leave the earth to save it. musk wants to colonize the solar system. >> do you foresee a day when space travel will be widely

available to folks who aren't billionaires? >> i think so, cecilia. what we're seeing now are larger rockets that are reusable. so the cost of launch is coming down. back in the space shuttle days it cost about $25,000 to put one pound into orbit. now elon musk has driven that cost down to about $700. so cheaper into orbit means that the possibility for us mere mortals to be able to visit space could be sooner rather than later. >> all right, steve ganyard, thank you so much. >> could be getting closer. you can watch the liftoff live on tuesday morning right here on abc. >> we will be watching. now to the new anthony bourdain documentary. the director under fire after revealing he used a.i. technology to re-create the late celebrity chef's voice to say some things he may not have voiced out loud. t.j. holmes has the story. good morning again, t.j. >> hey there, stra.

let's be clear what we're talking about. these are things that anthony bourdain wrote. these are things -- these were his words but he wrote them. no audio evidence he said them out loud. so the director wants to use those but doesn't have audio. what did he do? he decides to fake it and that has now brought up kind of a recent debate and criticism about using technology to bring back celebrities who have died. >> you're probably going to find out about it anyway. so here's a little preemptive truth telling. there's no happy ending. >> reporter: three years after his death anthony bourdain helps tell his own story in his own words in the new documentary "roadrunner." >> i said earlier i would tell you the truth. this is part of it. >> reporter: parts of the film are narrated in bourdain's voice created by stitching together audio recordings from throughout his career as a writer and host of the tv shows "no reservations" and "parts unknown." >> one i was standing next to a deep fryer and next watching the

sunset. >> reporter: the director morgan neville revealed it's not all bourdain's voice. instead he used artificial intelligence software to replicate his voice on a few quotes attributed to bourdain that bourdain may have never spoken out loud like this one. it's a quote bourdain wrote in an email to a friend before his death by suicide. >> you are successful and i am successful and i'm wondering, are you happy? >> reporter: that is actually not bourdain according to envelope, but voiced by artificial intelligence. he tells "the new yorker" if you watch the film you probably don't know what the other lines are that were spoken by the a.i. and you're not going to know adding we can have a documentary ethics panel about it later. >> don't tell me what things look like. tell me what they are. >> reporter: technology has been used before to re-create the likeness of a celebrity who has passed. famously carrie fisher appeared post hue mousily in "the rise of

skywalker" which was previously unreleased footage. critics point out that was for an actor playing a role, not a real person the subject of a documentary. >> it's sensitive because anthony bourdain obviously had a tragic death. this and similar uses will continue to be a gray area for quite some time. >> reporter: neville says he got permission from bourdain's widow saying it was a modern storytelling technique i used in a few places where i thought it was important to make tony's words come alive. you all think about what they can do now, the deaging they can do with the technology for actors now. they brought back audrey hepburn and bruce lee for commercials to sell products and think about peter cushing in "rogue one" from "star wars," they used his voice after he passed. this will continue to be a debate. the director said, look, i wasn't putting words in his mouth. they are his words. >> he did write them. >> he did write them. so it's fascinating and a fascinating life and fascinating

to be there, right? so somewhere during the supply chain process, somewhere during the manufacturing process, some of these products got contaminated. now we know that high levels of benzene have been linked with certain types of cancer, however, the amounts detected in these particular products appears to be relatively low and we actually breathe in low levels of benzene every day, especially if you live in a city, right? because it's in the air from things like car exhaust and cigarette smock. >> and we know all of the recalled sunscreens were aerosol in those cans so a lot of folks might be wondering if creams are safer to buy. >> so you're correct. five of the products, there were five that were recalled were all aerosol sprays so four are neutrogena, one was aveeno, quite honestly we don't know why the sprays were more likely to be contaminated than the creams or lotions but in general when i'm counseling my patients, i often tell people try to use the creams, the gels, the lotions as opposed to the sprays because it's very difficult to get an even application of the spray and there are some theoretical concerns when it comes to inhalation as well.

>> you talked to us about this so many times. sunscreens are essential. what are you telling patients who might come to you if they're concerned hearing this news? >> you know, the benefits still outweigh the risks. ultraviolet rays are a known carcinogen. melanoma can be deadly. so i still recommend using sunscre sunscreen, and or relying on sun protective fabrics. keep using your sunscreen, just avoid these particular products for now. >> all right, dr. bowe, thank you so much. george. time to head back to paris and now we're taking a look at what americans can expect as the city of light re-opens and maggie rulli is there live. hey, maggie. >> reporter: hey, george. i had to do a lot of sampling of those restaurants to make sure everything was okay, but i'm happy to report that paris is shining brighter than ever. look at these views. the views are gorgeous. the city that we watch in movies is just as wonderful. he baguettes, yes, they taste

peppercorn which gives it a tingly sensation, spicy bean sauce we're going to add and depending on how spicy you like it. you can add chicken stock and then some corn starch, like, a corn starch slurry. that's going to get really nice and thick, and then you bring that to a boil. once that thickens up, we're going to add our tofu. i blend this up to give a nice creamy texture then we'll add that in and we have more flavor. we have some chili oil, again, make it a little spicy, sesame oil and then a little bit of sugar just to balance everything out. >> a little sweet, a little spicy. >> you just need that little bit of sugar when you're cooking savory food. like a hint. >> it smells so good in here. okay, then you've got something special to finish it all off. >> i love scoring a hot dog.

i don't know if that's something that you are into, but i feel like it gives a really great texture and gets the skin nice and crispy so we score the hot dog then grill it and then we're going to put some of the chili on top. i recommend toasting the bun because of the chili you want the toasted bun to, like, withstand it. hold it. >> when you score it, the sauce sinks in there. delicious. >> then we have crispy shallots and scallions for freshness and crunch. >> we'll scoot down here. >> you seem like you know what you're talking about. >> she does. >> it's time for a treat. we love campfires, of course, but this is something you can make in the air fryer. >> i'm kind of an air fryer queen. i love my air fryer at home, so i try to throw athg in an- t t a, veryealt mile theyou ki owhatever your h desires, chocolate sauce, granola.

>> do you put -- when do you put the bacon in? >> i would say you toast your marshmallow. i like it nice and toasty. almost burnt then put it in and then squeeze it out and put the bacon on top. >> since you touched that one, that one is yours. >> didn't touch at all. >> now that the world is opening up again how are your restaurants doing when it comes to serving? >> i have two restaurants, one is open. we opened last summer, pig and cow which you've been to and you have to come. i would have to love you. our second restaurant which opened two months before the pandemic has not re-opened yet but we plan on opening right before labor day. it's hard for small businesses and, you know, it's challenging. i partnered with chef ming tsai and work with the relief fund and helping small businesses through donations and every little bit helps and we all have
