"gma" is taking you to the ght ak in the nort and getting a cute close-up with some adorable cubs. >> that cub was certainly ready for its close-up. good morning, america. good to be with michael and george and we cannot wait to "rise & shine" from the beautiful state of new hampshire. >> love that state. that is coming up. we'll start with the latest on the pandemic. take a live look at the cdc. they are set to vote today on the pfizer booster shots. >> overnight the fda authorized a third shot for millions of americans at the highest risk. whit johnson is tracking the very latest. good morning, whit. >> reporter: michael, good morning to you. we're now getting a clearer picture of who will be eligible for the booster shots, older americans and those at high risk. a cdc advisory panel will consider the next steps later

today but soon after we could start to see pharmacies like this one in local cities across the country administering those boosters by the end of the week. overnight the fda giving the green light for pfizer booster shots bringing the u.s. one step closer to authorizing a third dose for millions of americans. the eligible group is expected to include people 65 and older, those at high risk of severe illness, health care workers and other frontline employees like teachers, day care staff, grocery workers and people in homeless shelters and prisons. >> it is possible that some people may benefit from a booster, six, eight, nine months after their first shot. the plain truth is, there's a lot we still don't know. we do know that the vaccines are holding up well. >> reporter: but it's not an official go yet. a cdc advisory panel will meet for a second day to consider more specific guidance and third shots likely available by the end of the week. 2 million americans with compromised immune systems have

received a pfizer or moderna booster shot with limited side effects similar to those that followed a second dose. 95% of all adverse events reported from boosters were not serious. while pfizer says the first two doses of the vaccine offered 96% efficacy, after four months that protection begins to drop. some research shows by around 12%. pfizer saying the booster shot will raise protection back up to the same level. americans who received the moderna or johnson & johnson vaccines will have to wait a few more weeks before potential authorization. but many health experts argue getting people their first shots should remain the top priority. across the country in states with the lowest number vaccinated death rates are nearly four times higher than in states that lead the country in vaccinations. at billings clinic in montana, around 90% of covid patients there are unvaccinated and inundating the hospital's resources. >> intensive care unit is

typically running 150% to 175% pa capacity. so we have patients outside waiting. we're used to dealing with death but death in younger people who have children, it's just incredibly hard on our staff. >> reporter: now, booster shots will be limited to a specific group at first but the head of the fda is not ruling out expanding eligibility to more people in the future as more data becomes available. she said this pandemic is dynamic and evolving and they will continue to react to the rapidly changing science. robin? >> all right, whit, thank you. we have the latest now on the situation at the border. the governor of texas ordering a steel wall of vehicles to stop the surge of migrants as the biden administration ramps up deportations. kenneth moton is on the scene there in del rio, texas. good morning, kenneth. >> reporter: good morning, robin.

we have a border patrol officer keeping watch. a fleet of state vehicles being used to try to stop those migrants from crossing into the u.s. we've seen a lot of man power here to get control of the border and a humanitarian crisis. this morning, new images of that migrant camp under the del rio bridge. a significant decrease, but the scene still heartbreaking. >> there is a humanitarian need here and we need to make sure we're treating everybody fairly. >> reporter: overnight new numbers from the department of homeland security saying since sunday, more than 1,400 migrants have been flown back to haiti on a dozen flights. 3,200 taken into custody but still in the u.s. preparing to be deported or placed into removal proceedings while they seek asylum. less than 5,000 migrants, mostly haitian, remain in this

encampment down from roughly 14,000 over the weekend. yes, there are fewer people here but it is still tough to see these images. children sleeping on cardboard. families waiting for the u.s. to tell them what's next. the faces of those desperate for asylum in the u.s., the children seen on the shoulders of their parents as they cross the dangerous rio grande. these images have some democrats demanding the biden administration stop the mass deportations and get a better handle on this crisis. >> all they're trying to do is escape from violence in their country. we're saying to the president and everybody else, you got to stop this madness. >> reporter: in del rio, the so-called steel barrier in place. the governor of texas ordering state troopers to line up vehicles on the border to deter migrants from crossing. and this morning, some mounted border patrol agents on administrative duties while dhs investigates this disturbing encounter with migrants. >> these agents are highly trained along with their horses and they were doing exactly what they were trained to do. >> reporter: hundreds of migrants have gone back across the river into mexico instead of camp in different cities like monterey.

mexico feeling that strain but right now that country is not deporting those migrants, instead allowing them to get their paperwork together to seek asylum there. meanwhile, dhs says mass deportation flights from the u.s. to haiti will continue. george? >> okay, kenneth, thanks. we're going to go to the white house now where president biden is engaged in intensive negotiations with congressional democrats trying to unify the party and salvage the infrastructure and social policy investments that are at the core of his agenda. chief white house correspondent cecilia vega tracking it all. cecelia, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning. the clock is ticking and at this point democrats appear no closer to reaching a deal. this was a long day here at the white house. the president spending more than four hours meeting with these vice president harr various factions and all separate meetings, nearly two dozen democrats and liberals and moderates, party leaders also, when it was all said and done

the white house called them productive and candid. speaker pelosi, she's saying everybody is good. the work is almost done but another democrat offering this reality check saying, quote, we've got a hectic few day as head and that is the reality. democrats remain at a standstill. this is the issue, that trillion dollar infrastructure plan to improve roads and highways. that's their traditional infrastructure. then there's that $3.5 trillion plan to cover social programs like child care, fighting climate change, it's the moderates, they're balking at that. the democrats saying it's all or nothing. they want to cover social programs while they've got control of congress and the white house, there is a vote scheduled for monday on that traditional infrastructure package but, george, this is the bottom line this morning. this is a key piece of president biden's legislative agenda. his entire administration really and if his own party doesn't come together on this it's on the verge of collapsing. >> stakes could not be higher. cecilia vega, thanks very much.

michael? >> george, thank you. now to the search for suspects in a deadly drive-by shooting at a bus stop. a teenager killed and another wounded while they were on their way to school in louisville. pierre thomas has the latest as the nation experiences a dramatic spike in gun violence. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: michael, good morning. today a manhunt in the stunned city of louisville. a tragic story of innocence lost children standing at a bus stop waiting to go to school, sprayed by gunfire. louisville grieving and angry this morning. >> i had to hold a little boy's wound today and tell him he's going to be okay. >> reporter: two children ages 14 and 16 shot at a bus stop as they waited to go to eastern high school. the 14-year-old recovering from nonlife-threatening injuries. the 16-year-old boy, tyrese smith, died. it all started just after 6:00 a.m. >> they can hear someone screaming, help me after the shots were fired. >> reporter: authorities believe it was a drive-by shooting. >> a vehicle drove by and fired shots into the group of kids striking two of the children by

gunfire. >> reporter: police releasing this photo and this morning they're on the hunt for this gray jeep. tyree smith's devastated mother speaking out overnight. >> my child is 16 years old. he got good grades. my child left my house at 6:15. 6:18 he called and said mama, i got shot. so what am i supposed to do? and he get killed and hurt by senseless violence. >> reporter: the latest symptom of a nation experiencing a spike in shootings that began two years ago. so far this year, 43,000 people shot in this country compared to 40,000 at the same time last year. young children and teenagers routinely being wounded. over 3,000 young people 17 and under shot this year. among them, nearly 600 children, 11 and younger. just two weeks ago a 3-year-old boy fatally shot in his charlotte, north carolina, home

after more than 100 rounds were fired. the young gunmen caught on a doorbell camera. with 145 homicides and counting the louisville police chief says she's targeting repeat offenders but that she's frustrated by the availability of guns and judges who she believes are too lenient against suspects illegally caught carrying firearms. robin? >> thank you, pierre. as always, we appreciate your reporting. turning now to those new flash flooding fears for millions who were just impacted by ida. at least seven states on alert this morning. ginger, as you know, tracking the latest storm system on the move. good morning. >> good morning. i want to start with what the storm did on lake michigan. if you've been to chicago and have gone for a jog or bike ride along lake shore drive there on lake michigan, look what it looked like. you had waves up to 14 feet on the shore there. that will happen again but that's the back side. the front side is where we will end up getting and that was st. joseph, the waves huge there too in michigan.

pennsylvania over to maryland, virginia, parts of delaware, new jersey, new york and connecticut. we're all in flash flood watch because we're so saturated. washington, d.c. is more than a half foot above where they should be. the average for this time of year. getting heavy rain. you saw it in cecilia's shot and we can anticipate one to two inches but some could get locally four. george, it's all about how quickly it all happens. >> okay, ginger, thanks. we're going to get the latest now on the volcano emergency in the canary islands. it is threatening more communities as it makes its way to the ocean and james longman is live on the scene in la palma. james, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. this volcano is still as angry as ever this morning. pushing smoke right up there into the air, ash is everywhere and over there behind me, that is the river of lava that everyone is so concerned about right next to people's homes, often through their homes and emergency services are trying to desperately divert it away from

where people live. the volcano still as angry as ever this morning, lava pouring in multiple directions, ash raining down across the island. explosions heard all night and then this right when we were streaming live. [ bleep ]. what was that? this is what emergency services are battling, a 40-foot wall of lava creeping slowly but steadily towards more homes. when the volcano first erupted over the weekend, authorities sprang into action and felt like things were under control but as new fissures have opened up lava has spread more widely and this situation feels more and more unpredictable. more than 450 buildings destroyed so far and more villages are in the path of this and firefighters are working to divert it. they're using heavy machines to dig trenches and build walls of earth to end it to the ocean and away from built up areas. this is volcano rock they're trying to shift and it's proving hard. this woman was given 15 minutes to evacuate her house. her neighbor took her in. now they both wait to see if the lava will come their way.

[speaking foreign language] she tells me it's all our work, effort, money of our lives, my life, my partner's life, a family and you just don't know if you can lose it in an instant. so all efforts now to get this lava down to the ocean. but there are still villages in its path and the other risk, all this ash is landing on people's homes, on their roofs and that has a risk of collapse. guys? >> okay, james, thanks very much. this morning, we are celebrating the life of melvin van peebles, the groundbreaking director known for his fearless independent films died wednesday at the age of 89. t.j. holmes is here with more on this icon. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: stra, some of the tributes using words like pioneer and trail blazer. let's stick with what you said for a second. fearless independence. when his most famous film released it got an x rating, an x. he turned that into a marketing campaign and said, yes, rated x by an all white jury.

that's fearless independence and that movie went on to be one of the most successful at the time and one of the most influential of all time. often called the godfather of black cinema. >> never heard of him. what else do he go by? >> reporter: melvin van peebles, wrote, directed, financed and starred in one of the most influential films of an era, 1971 "sweet sweetback" credited with ushering in a new genre. blaxploitation films. the movie pioneer came to fame after "watermelon man" which he directed. >> winner and still undefeated, folks. pay respectful homage. >> fare, please. >> reporter: it featured a racist white insurance executive who wakes up to realize he's become black. >> aaagh!

>> reporter: his son actor and director mario van tribute to him playing him in his 2003 film which told of the struggles and successes his dad experienced. >> i just finished directing "watermelon" man from columbia pictures. i had to come up with my next film idea before the money guys got cold. >> reporter: this morning the younger van peebles paying tribute saying dad knew black images matter. if a picture is worth a thousand word, what was a movie worth? now, "sweet sweetback" credited with bringing in blaxploitation films often criticized but his showed only that black films with a black hero can be successful at the box office then hollywood took that, took out the message and the political message and added caricature. his film doesn't necessarily belong in blaxploitation even though it's credited with being

a part of showing how successful films can be. important to make that note. >> you're a real fan? >> i absolutely am. these are icons. these are giants and we seem to be losings them day in and day out, but he's one of a kind. >> no doubt. >> thanks very much. a lot more coming up including the new clue in the gabby petito case. a witness says she saw the couple days after she went missing as officials in florida send dive teams to search for her boyfriend. former defense secretary and theranos board member general mattis taking the stand in the high-profile elizabeth holmes trial. first, let's go back to ginger. >> that same system kicking up the flash flood threat did a wat water spout. this is in northwest michigan, but now we have it from leesburg, virginia, up to hunter, new york who have to be on the lookout today and tonight. your local weather in 30 seconds. first the sunny cities sponsored by state farm.

really it. you could feel his temper. he was angry. >> reporter: the restaurant confirmed to abc news that the couple was there and say they're now speaking with the fbi though the fbi is not commenting and has not confirmed the incident. by septemer 1st brian laundrie returned to south florida with petito's van, but without gabby. that's where florida police and the fbi are racing to find him. investigators bringing in under water dive teams. >> they're motivated and hungry to find brian laundrie. >> reporter: former fbi agent and profiler mary ellen o'toole says if laundrie is in the woods on his own, his resources and time may be running out. >> there's a big distinction between the strength and the effectiveness of law enforcement versus brian who's probably deteriorating. >> reporter: brian laundrie has been missing for more than a week and he is still the only named person of interest in

in-depth on this story and joins us now. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this was really something to see inside of the court yesterday, general james mattis on the stand portraying elizabeth holmes as someone who was firmly in control of her company, theranos, who even told famous board members like him what to talk about with the press. general james mattis, a former theranos board member, taking the stand in the criminal trial of elizabeth holmes. the former defense secretary joined the company which promised to revolutionize blood testing in 2013 after retiring from the u.s. marine corps. he was paid $150,000 annually. >> why did you add him to the board? >> he's one of the most brilliant strategists i've ever met. >> reporter: holmes once the youngest female self-made billionaire claimed she could run hundreds of tests on just a few drops of blood. in court general mattis testified that holmes personally pricked his finger to

demonstrate the technology and said she was aggressive about trying to work with the department of defense, something that never came to be even though she allegedly claimed it did. holmes later admitting it did not. >> was a theranos manufacturing device ever deployed in the battlefield? >> no. >> was it ever deployed in a medevac helicopter? >> no. >> reporter: prosecutors showed emails between general mattis and holmes as early as 2011. in one email to holmes he described how he wanted to get theranos devices on board military vessels on a trial basis. mattis who invested $85,000 in the company left theranos in 2016 when he joined the trump administration. he has since distanced himself from elizabeth holmes calling his involvement in theranos a mistake during a 2019 interview on pbs. >> the bottom line is, we all make mistakes at times and it

was obviously that a mistake on my part to be part of it. >> reporter: general mattis says he began questioning what was really happening inside of theranos when he started to see surprises, disappointing surprises as he testified and he said, towards the end of his tenure with theranos on the board he didn't know what to believe about theranos anymore. michael? >> rebecca, what qualifications did general mattis have to even be on the board of theranos? >> reporter: well, that's an important question, because not only was he on the board but so were former secretaries of state like george shultz and henry kissinger. this was an all-star team on the board but none of them had mdical or scientific backgrounds and that's been one of the biggest criticisms of elizabeth holmes' board. she didn't have the expertise there to really guide her through this incredibly technical field of blood testing. james mattis, general james mattis even testified yesterday

that after he joined the board, he went to the book store and bought a book about what it was like to be on a board, michael. >> i guess you got to learn from reading. all right, rebecca. thank you so much as always. robin? coming up later, a snapshot of a dangerous trend on tiktok. and, the new warning from police. thieves targeting one specific car part. the robberies as you can see caught on camera and why this one part is causing a crime wave. come on back. on the inside. it's true, if you have diabetes, you know high blood sugar is the root of the problem. but that excess sugar can cause the blood vessels to be seriously damaged. and when that happens, this could happen, vision loss or even blindness. that's right, diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness for adults in the u.s. but even though you can't see it, there is something you can do about it.

health care workers and other frontline employees like teachers, day care staff, grocery workers and people in homeless shelters and prisons. 2 million americans with compromised immune systems have already received a pfizer or moderna booster shot with limited side effects. 95% of all adverse events reported from boosters were not serious. but the cdc will have to officially sign off on this. today its advisory panel will meet for a second day to consider more specific guidance and those third shots will likely be available by the end of this week. now, for those americans who got either the moderna or johnson & johnson vaccines, they will likely have to wait at least a few more weeks before potential authorization. robin? >> still waiting, all right. whit, thank you. we turn to the latest on the situation at the border. the governor of texas ordering what he's calling a steel wall of those vehicles to stop the surge of migrants. we're going to go back to kenneth moton on the scene for us in del rio, texas. good morning, again, kenneth.

granite state but new hampshire's main attraction is the white mountains drawing tourists back in droves. now that fall is here the white mountains will soon be blanketed in their autumnal quilt of yellow, orange and red, quintessential new england foliage on the hills that make up 25% of its land. gondolas giving visitors a bird's-eye view. tucked in a valley near the base of the highest peak in the northeast is the mt. washington resort. the grand giant of a hotel built in 1902 had to pause operations last year due to covid. >> it's been a journey. >> reporter: management using the temporary shutdown to improve the hotel before welcoming people back. >> we added some guest rooms, did some work in our restaurants. we took advantage of the time. >> reporter: and with halloween on the horizon, hotel visitors may want to be on the lookout for guests who have overstayed their welcome. >> but it is allegedly haunted here? >> one of the original founders'

wives is known to make an appearance here or there. >> reporter: if there are any apparitions here they seem to be friendly just like everyone else we've met in new hampshire. a state that saw its hospitality industry take a huge hit during the pandemic. at hotels big and small, the ash street inn in manchester is owned and operated by rob and margaret. when the pandemic hit their historic 1885 bed and breakfast they saw an immediate decline in customers. >> we had no income coming. we were basically closed. >> reporter: now adjusting for social distancing and easing up of some restrictions they're finally seeing an uptick in visitors and the best news this weekend, all of their rooms are fully booked. >> we did get a lot of inquiries from wedding couples who booked the entire inn. we had weekends where we could have filled the inn two, three times. >> reporter: new hampshire's hospitality industry capitalizes on nature tourism, hiking, biking, fishing with a growing focus on wildlife including

5,000 black bears that call the state home. ow. got my foot chewed on by a bear. orphedr cubs get owkindf spitalt the lham bear er in lyme which saved thousands of black bears over nearly 30 years. ben kilham and his nephew work with the cubs giving them the bear necessities before releasing them back into the wild. >> what is the center here doing to rehabilitate the bears? >> our philosophy is to give them an environment where they can sort of unlock their innate ability to be bears. >> reporter: the sanctuary has dozens of acres of enclosed woods for them to roam naturally and avoid strangers. hard to resist food laid out by staff. so much to do and see in new hampshire. it's a place that really connects generations.

for me personally, i feel very connected to previous generations of my family right here at this hotel. we had a family reunion on my mom's side of the family in 2007. my grandparents had retired here. after my grandmother passed away the cousins and my aunts came up here and we actually took a family photo right on the porch where i'm standing right around the bend here with mt. washington in the back. so lots to do in new hampshire. lots to see and lots to remember for me personally. guys? >> thanks for sharing that. >> yes. >> thanks a lot. >> really beautiful. >> good for you. >> absolutely. coming up, "deals & steals" is back with great plant-based

can do. then i need to figure out what you can't do, or i need to figure out what you do that will help me understand where you're going before you get there. >> i'm sorry. that's nasty. love that. >> that looked like strength an. >>xactly. i forget what it was like to play football. i'm looking at it, whoo, that was me. i was pretty good. but, you know, it's funny because the philosophy of football applies to the philosophy of being here, everything about preparation and how hard you work makes it look easy. people don't see the behind the scenes that all of us have put in our careers. >> i wrote you the other night because i met one of your former teammates. >> yes. >> and i ran into a teammate of michael. >> justin tuck. >> justin tuck. he said to me, you have no idea, the nicest guy.

you know a guy. there's a very different guy on that field. he was a beast. i mean, my mouth just dropped as he was telling me all about you and how hard you worked and set the tone for the work ethic. >> i owe him a few bucks when we get off. this series was a partnership with spring hill company and my production company smack. check out this new episode of "the undefeated: more than an athlete" streaming on espn plus. thank you, guys. really appreciate that. >> that's why you named your company smack. >> you just witnessed it. >> because he was smacking folks out there. >> that's a good one. i'll adopt that. we switch gears as we celebrate hispanic heritage month highlighting one hollywood legend's fight for more latino representation on screen and behind the scenes. stephanie ramos joins us with how edward james olmos is making it his mission to educating kids on how this works.

good morning, stephanie. >> good morning, michael. he is making moves but, you know, there's been some progress when it comes to diversity in films but when it comes to latino representation in the film industry, it's just not there. studies show there is little for the latino community to celebrate in popular films. tessa thompson, zoe saldana, jennifer lopez, lin-manuel miranda, these are some of the biggest names in hollywood and they're latino. new studies still show there is a lack of accurate representation in hollywood. according to a study conducted by the u.s. government accountability office in 2019, only 5% of leads in film were latino. while afro latinos made up 6% of lead roles in a 13-year span. behind the scenes, only 4.2% of directors across 1,300 films were latino. >> we've known latinos are not in movies. we have seen the conversations grow regarding diversity, equity, inclusion. if these aren't leading to jobs,

if these aren't leading to more representation on camera, on screens for us to see ourselves, then this is for nothing. it's just lip service. >> that to me is embarrassing. >> reporter: legendary actor edward james olmos is trying to change that. community-based program aimed at nurturing young filmmakers and where kids as young as fourth grade can learn how to produce, write and direct their own movies. >> it's the full school year and they learn how to do all aspects of filmmaking and storytelling. >> reporter: high schooler kimberly leon has been involved since she was 11. >> it helped me realize what i want to do. they give me the opportunities. >> reporter: just one way hollywood is rewriting the story line for latinos. >> a program such as edward james olmos' is going to create a pipeline, a talent pool, for the industry to go into and say,

okay, let me look there and find the type of representation that this project needs and requires. >> that program influencing and inspiring another generation of latinos to go into the industry, and that representation matters in the real world for young people. it not only affects how others see them, but how they see themselves. >> that's great. >> if you see it then you believe you can be. stephanie, thank you so much. coming up a performance from the broadway hit, "jagged little pill." ♪ i'm there to remind you ♪ ♪ of the mess you left when you went away ♪ ♪ it's not fair ♪ tasha, did you know geico could save you hundreds on car insurance and a whole lot more? hmm. so what are you waiting for? hip hop group tag team to help you plan dessert? ♪ french vanilla! rocky road! ♪ ♪ chocolate, peanut butter, cookie dough! ♪
