happened during a routine training flight out of corpus christi international airport. one military official telling abc news neither of the pilots sustained life-threatening injuries. officials say the worst was avoided, with dozens of residents in the direct area of the crash when the plane slammed into the ground. >> it could have been a lot worse if it would have been a direct contact into a residence. >> reporter: and investigators are still trying to figure out exactly what went wrong here, but robin, first responders say it is truly a miracle that no one was killed. >> it was, elwyn. thank you. now to that urgent evacuation at a popular spanish tourist destination. a volcano erupting for the first time in decades, forcing thousands to flee. foreign correspondent james longman has the latest for us. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, robin. lava is still flowing this morning on la palma island after that massive volcanic eruption. this is on spain's canary

islands just off the coast of north africa. the pictures are absolutely extraordinary. rivers of red flowing through homes down into a national park. lava, fountains of lava, and hot ash spewing hundreds of meters into the air. this lava is traveling down towards the ocean about 700 meters an hour. the military have been dropped in to evacuate people, 5,000 so far, but that number could go up. five fissures opened up in the hillside, and they were caused by a series of earthquakes over the weekend, and all this could go on for some time yet. weeks, if not months possibly. the last time this erupted was in 1971 and the eruption lasted for three weeks, but the good news is no one has been reported either injured or killed because people were given a good amount of notice. robin? >> good to know that, but those images, wow. extraordinary. thank you so much. t.j.? robin, let's take flight now, shall we? talking about the successful end

robert costa, this is their first interview since their new book "peril" came out and made headlines. here's a look at the highlights. according to woodward and costa, president trump's general mark milley called china just four days before the election worried president trump would launch a military strike. he told his chinese counterpart, the american government is stable. if we're going to attack, i'm going to call you ahead of time. he also called after the january 6th riot saying, quote, things may look unsteady, but that's the nature of democracy. we are 100% steady. milley never told the president about those calls, and trump now says that if the account about milley is correct, then i assume he would be tried for treason. while some have called on president biden to fire milley, biden is standing by him. >> i have great confidence in general milley. >> former joint chiefs chairman admiral mullen told martha on "this week" calls like these are not unusual. >> i was encouraged by the fact

that the line of communication is there. >> reporter: and on friday milley who is scheduled to testify next week before the arms services committee called calls like that routine adding, i think it's best i reserve my comments on the record until i do that in front of the law makers who have the lawful responsibility to oversee the u.s. military. we are joined by bob woodward and rob costa. let me begin. it's not just the former president using the word treason. marco rubio talked about treasonous behavior as well. as you reported on milley's talks, did you think you were documenting treasonous behavior? >> no, not at all. the best way to tell you that is what we found. two days after the insurrection of the capitol was a moment of maximum tension, and milley talked to a back channel, top secret back channel -- >> others were on the calls, right? >> pardon? >> others were on the calls?

>> i don't know whether others were on the call. what we do know and report which i think is significant here, after the call, he then gave a full briefing to four people, gina haspel, the cia director said to her, watch everything. 360. talked to paul nakasone who had headed the national security agency which does worldwide eaves dropping and said needles up which is an expression which means listen everywhere. he talked to the chiefs, the head of the army, navy, marine corps, air force, and said full-time watch everything, and then he called the admiral in charge of the region in the pacific and canceled -- asked him to cancel operations that the chinese might see as some -- >> concerning. >> -- provocative.

so there's nothing hidden about this. it is a top secret back channel. >> we also know, robert, that other officials were making calls to their chinese counter parts as well. but were the chinese right to be so concerned? is there any evidence that president trump was actually contemplating some kind of military action? >> based on our reporting, chairman milley did not believe president trump wanted to go to war, but it was his assessment, his conclusion based on intelligence and other briefings that the chinese were highly alarmed by what happened on january 6th. what chairman milley was trying to do as we show in the book was contain a national security emergency, and as bob said, he was reading people in. while these calls with general li were held on a top secret back channel, they were not secret. this is not someone working in isolation. he was reading people in. >> he wasn't going rogue? >> he was not going rogue. he was reading people in in the military community trying to contain a situation, and a president he believed was in

serious mental decline. >> bob, we also see in the book it seems like former vice president pence was struggling more with this decision on what to do with certifying the electors than we might have believed. >> yes. we were able to chart exactly the road pence walked, and it's not -- he's trying to ride both horses, and that is do his constitutional duty, but also keep the avenues to trump open, and it is step by step in the book, and you see in a way pence is with trump. no. he's going to do the right constitutional thing. now remember in the context of all of this, this is a national security crisis for the country, and that's what has been overlooked in this. bob and i had months to do the

reporting, and you -- you see what -- the pence issue which you asked about, this really was a question of the legitimacy of the american presidency. if pence had gone up there in congress and said, look, i can't decide whose votes to count, we would have had -- >> it's so hard to contemplate because he really couldn't do it, but i know he was struggling. >> he talked to former vice president dan quayle of all people along with his advisers trying to find a way about what to do. we show the agony, the uncertainty vice president pence had. there's this one scene in the book that still stays with me in our reporting. he's with president trump january 5th hours before the insurrection and president trump has this temptation of power. wouldn't it be cool, he says to vice president pence, to have the power to decertify an election? >> cool, that's one word for it. you cover president biden in the book including the fallout from my conversation with president biden back in the spring about vladimir putin.

>> so you know vladimir putin. you think he's a killer? >> mm-hmm. i do. >> so what price must he pay? >> the price he's going to say -- well, you'll see shortly. >> putin was not happy. >> no. stunning we were able to get details of what happened in -- i think it was april, so just several months ago between putin and biden. and putin starts out, i'm not happy you called me a killer and biden gets very defensive and said, in your interview well it was on another subject and my answer was not premeditated. well, of course, it's an open interview. you can ask any question, and you see we were able to work through what's the biden/putin relationship, which is critical to the united states. >> it clearly is. we only have a few seconds left.

final words of the book, peril remains. what is the peril? >> president trump's conduct alarmed everyone -- nearly everyone in his inner circle, his administration. he could very well run for president in 2024, and this system, the american system tested all the way to the brink could be tested again. >> and you guys have done it again. "peril" bob woodward and robert costa is out now. coming up, history-making moments at the emmys. we'll be right back.

schumer captioning her photo in the hospital, if you have painful periods, you may have endometriosis. getting candid to gain awareness, garnering incredible support on social media. deborah messing writing, oh my goodness. 30? so happy they are gone and you won't have that pain anymore. heal well. selma blair commenting, i am so sorry. rest, recover. this isn't the first time schumer has gone public. the comedian who gave birth to her son gene, detailing her difficult pregnancy in the documentary "expecting amy". >> i had to go to the er because i couldn't keep anything down. >> reporter: revealing her journey with ivf, sharing photos of her bruised stomach and asking for support from others who have gone through it. later telling howard stern she was hoping for more kids. >> we were going to, like, try to make a move, and covid happened and i'm just kind of, like, walking it back.

like, okay. maybe i'll just revisit that in a minute. >> reporter: for "good morning america," stephanie ramos, abc news new york. >> let's bring in abc news chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ash. dr. ashton, break this down for us. endometriosis, what is it? >> there are glands that sit inside the uterine cavity that for reasons we don't understand kind of get dispersed throughout a woman's pelvic cavity. so it can land on bowel. it can land on bladder and all parts of the pelvis outside the uter uterus. the key is we call it hormonally responsive tissue. every month during a woman's period, it contracts a little bit. it contracts all over her pelvis and that's where the pain comes in. it can give symptoms ranging from very, very painful pelvis pain, painful periods, menstrual pain that is not controlled by ibuprofen and birth control pills. this is a huge hint if a woman

is on both those medications and still has pain. it's difficult to diagnose. we make this in the operating room with surgery. >> women who might be wanting to have kids, what do they need to know here? >> we can think of this as affecting infertility because it can cousause obstruct the passage of that fertilized egg. if a woman is struggling with these symptoms, the key is getting that diagnosis made as quickly as possible so she can meet with an infertility specialist. it depends on her age and her symptoms. >> treatment options though? >> it's not one size fits all, t.j. it's important for a woman to work with her gynecologist and in terms of her reproductive future and those options, there are more options than ever, but the bottom line is there are women living in pain, and we really now need to address this issue. it needs to be top of mind. not a last thought. >> good for amy schumer bringing this to light.

people talking about it. 200 million women. >> worldwide. >> suffering with this. dr. ashton, thank you as always. george? >> thanks. now to robert durst. the man that was convicted for murder of his close friend more than 20 years ago. we'll speak with andrew jarecki. his documentary "the jinx" helped crack the case. here's a look at the story. >> reporter: after three days of deliberations, a los angeles jury convicted robert durst of killing his good friend susan bereman two decades ago. >> we, the jury, find the defendant robert durst guilty of first degree murder. >> reporter: durst had been under suspicion in the shooting death for years. the 78-year-old who has cancer has been linked to three deaths spanning over 40 years including the murder of his wife, kathy who disappeared in 1982 and has never been found. >> he's a narcissistic psychopath. >> reporter: interest in the case exploded when hbo released "the jinx." >> nobody tells the whole truth.

>> reporter: prosecutors used durst's own words in the documentary as evidence he confessed to the murders. >> what the hell did i do? kill them all, of course. >> reporter: prosecutors say that he shot and killed bereman in 2000 in her l.a. home to prevent her from telling police how she helped durst cover up his wife's death and disappearance. during the trial, durst shocked onlookers with this stunning testimony. >> if you had killed either kathy or susan, you would never tell us, correct? >> correct. >> nothing further. >> we're joined by the director, of "the jinx" andrew jarecki. welcome. this has been a 16-year saga for you. you also did a feature film on tis case with ryan gosling, "all good things" back in 2010. what was your reaction when you heard the verdict? >> i can't say i was surprised because if you watched the trial

it was extraordinary. i mean, rob admits in the trial that he lied five times, perjured himself in this trial, and he also admits he lied in his prior trial in galveston. you can't be amazed b it, but at the same time it's very gratifying because you also know this man has evaded justice for so long that all you can do is hope for the families of the victims that something -- that there are not going to be surprises. >> we showed the stunning ending to "the jinx" where he basically confesses in a bathroom. his lawyers argued during the trial and he argued several times during the trial you took his words out of context and lied about what he said. >> it's clear what he said. he said killed them all in of course. then in court he was asked about it and he said you didn't hear the part where i said, they'll think i killed them all of course. he burps before he says, killed them all of course. there's really no moment. you can see it. he has this strange, visceral

reaction because he's feeling like he's in big trouble in the interview, and then instantly after this strange little burp, he says, killed them all of course. it was so extraordinary for them to say there ws this part that you didn't hear and also he didn't say. i think that was never really a reasonable proposition. >> it sure does seem like there was a good chance he would have never gone to trial or been convicted but for your documentary. >> it's very strange. i mean, i certainly didn't expect when we started doing this 16 years ago that we would discover this evidence. the confession is important in the bathroom for sure, but the more important thing is that we discovered a letter which was a perfect match to the cadaver note that had been written by the killer, and bob in the interview with me, says, that the killer did this crazy thing and i say, what? you're writing a note that only the killer could have written and i remember at that time thinking, i wonder how important that's going to be, and now here we are in court and he admits before they go into court, he admits in a stipulation, by the

way, i wrote the cadaver notes. he had said for dozens of years he had nothing to do with, and here he is in the film saying -- saying that could only have been written by the killer. when you put those two things together, that might have been all that was needed to convict him. >> had he somehow gotten off again, do you think you would have been in danger? >> you know, i never felt in danger when i was with bob. he's a very charming guy and engaging as some people are who commit crimes like this, but there was a moment as you know there was a moment when i was -- before the final two episodes, when bob knew that i had this evidence, i had shown it to him, but it hadn't come out yet, and this is a guy who kills witnesses. i was aware of that, and i did have security for a period of time and it was awkward. but what can you do? i had to get the information out. >> where does this go next for you? >> i'm always filming all of this. this all fascinates me, so i don't think the story is over at all.

i'm sure they are going to try to appeal and all that stuff, but the bigger question is, how did this happen? how did it take 40 years for there to be any accountability? i think that makes it a very interesting story going forward. >> finally came on friday. andrew jarecki, thanks very much. let's go to rob. >> reporter: good morning again, george. beautiful start to the day here in boston. we are watching the wildfires in the west of course. updates for you in the sequoia national park. there's a couple of fires burning there. this one over 20,000 acres and 0% containment. you can see how the wind has been blowing that smoke and that's a battle for them. snow falling in yellowstone national park. we'll take it. extreme exceptional drought throughout the west. 80% of the west is under severe drought. any snowfall we get we will take, and we're starting to see that transition across the northwest and northern tier.
