it is great to have you here with us on a sunday morning. we're very happy to have linsey davis, victor oquendo back at the desk with us for another day this weekend. there is a lot to get to, including new information on the pandemic. >> in the past week new covid cases are down 12.5%. hospitalizations down 9%, and new deaths down 13%. but the number of people fully vaccinated still stands at 66%. >> vaccine mandates are front and center of contentious battles with some cities and their police officers with deadlines looming. first the breaking news overnight. the report of 17 americans kidnapped in haiti, including children. let's get right to phil lipof at the haitian york with the latest. good morning, phil. >> reporter: good morning, whit. yes, 17 being kidnapped by a gang in haiti. according to an audio message from the ohio-based christian

basedministries, first reported by "the new york times," the group was going home after building an orphanage. the one minute message also says the u.s. embassy is working with mission's field director whose family and another individual stayed at the ministries base when the others were being abducted. this is just the latest incident in a country that is having an alarming surge in gang-related kidnappings. they have recorded 600 kidnappings so far this year with 117 of those kidnappings taking place in the last month alone. the abduction trouble far from the only crisis. haiti is facing political turmoil. it's intensifying after that country's president was assassinated in july. a month later in magnitude earthquake killing more than 2,200 people and destroying more than 100,000 homes. whit? >> phil, thank you so much.

for more on this kidnapping in haiti, let's bring in maryalice parks in our studio. so much at stake here, i imagine the biden administration following this closely. >> you can imagine this is just a nightmare situation. so delicate. we don't have a new comment yet from the white house, the national security team could direct us to a very brief comment from the state department overnight. they said the welfare and safety of u.s. citizens abroad are one of the highest priorities. they are aware of the reports. like you said, you can imagine the white house is turning all their attention on something like this. >> as phil laid out, it's been one crisis after another. the assassination of the president, the earthquake, the economic ruin following the pandemic, and now americans caught right in the middle of this. it further complicates u.s. policy in that country as well. >> absolutely. following the assassination of the president in july, some haitians called for u.s. troops to come to the country to help stabilize the situation. obviously that didn't happen. we know the u.s. has, from time

to time after the assassination, after the earthquake sent teams of officials to the ground. you can imagine this makes their work so much harder. it could politically, whit, make it harder for the u.s. to turn away any haitian migrants that arrive at the southern border. so many have been making an argument that it's not safe on the ground in haiti. >> and now the fact that american lives are at risk, too. a game changer in all this. maryalice, thank you so much. we appreciate it. linsey? >> whit, thank you. let's bring in former state department official steve ganyard. good morning, steve. thank you for talking with us today. the state department has not said much other than to say this is a top priority. what is likely happening behind the scenes right now? >> they're probably first trying to get in touch with the kidnappers and much of the hostage rescue effort will be led out of the u.s. embassy. we have the ability to put fbi hostage negotiation teams quickly on the ground in port-au-prince.

there are probably back-up plans as well to bring in u.s. military to bring in hostage rescue. >> in august, the state department urged americans not to travel to haiti because of the risk of kidnappings. what can you tell us about these warnings? >> sometimes these are just warnings. a situation in a country may be dire and u.s. citizens may be in danger. missionary groups often work around the world in very difficult and dangerous situations. they know the risks. unfortunately in this case it looks like they got themselves into a bit of a situation that was not anticipated even though the country continued to slide into chaos and gang violence and control of port-au-prince in particular by gangs continued to increase. steve, thank you so much for yur insight as always. appreciate it. >> thanks, linsey. >> victor? now to covid-19. cases are dropping but vaccine

foomome the nation's largest forces. janai joins us with more. janai, good morning. >> reporter: victor, good morning to you. the mandates continuing to cause a clashes across the country. the city of chicago and the under staffed department could be stretched even thinner as the deadline to provide proof of vaccination comes closer. this morning the city of chicago preparing to lose police officers amid clashes about a vaccination mandate. the requirement going into effect this weekend for the nation's second largest police force. >> the only way we can create a safe workplace and maximize that is by having everyone vaccinated. >> reporter: the police union also at odds with the city over how many officers have complied, says approximately 50% of officers remain unvaccinated. >> the city cannot keep doing what they're doing. they have an obligation to worry about public safety, not about someone's health status. >> reporter: the city saying it's ready to bring in state troopers to keep the streets a mibalehap in ry.

setl the police force facing a monday deadline to provide proof of vaccination. they are already dealing with staffing shortages and this week there could be more losses. >> those officers on the department that have not provided proof of vaccine verification will not be coming to work on tuesday. >> reporter: the showdown over vaccine mandates playing out across the country from first responders to health care workers on the front like. michelle webb was treating covid patients, but was hesitant to get the vaccine herself. she decided to get the vaccine after attending educational sessions. >> based on the educational session and what i'm seeing with the patients i decided to change my mind. without that education i think i would have been really questioning myself, did i make

the right choice? >> reporter: the cdc releasing data showing vaccines are still dramatically reducing the risk of testing positive or dying of covid-19 during the delta variant surge. but in the mountain region hospital admissions are the highest they have been in ten months. health care workers in utah at their breaking point. >> a lot of people are using their sick days because they're exhausted. exhausted physically, mentally. we have seen an increase in anxiety, fatigue, and depression. >> reporter: we've been telling you this week the cdc panel is meeting to discuss recommendations of the moderna and johnson & johnson boosters. already endorsed by the fda advisory committee. if approved by this time next week we could see boosters rolling out. victor? >> janai, thank you. a quick programming note here. make sure to watch "this week" later this morning. martha raddatz will be one on one with dr. anthony fauci about that fda panel recommendation on j&j and moderna booster shots. plus, her exclusive reporting from inside m some of the natios

busiest ports over the ongoing supply chain crisis. whit? bill clinton expected to be released from the hospital as early as this morning. he is being treated for an infection and receiving family visitors as well. marcus moore is outside of the irvine medical center with more. marcus, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. doctors are continuing to monitor the former president's condition as he recovers here at this hospital. he spent another night receiving the iv antibiotics that doctors say have been working well. we have seen over the weekend new video of the former first lady and secretary of state hillary clinton and daughter chelsea arriving here on saturday to visit the president. doctors have said he is doing well and is upbeat. an aide said he spent most of the day yesterday watching college football. the former president was admitted to the hospital tuesday for fatigue. he was suffering from a urological infection that spread to a general infection.

we know on friday that president biden spoke to the 75-year-old former president on the phone. he said he is doing well. the late word we have this morning is that president clinton's team is hoping he can be released as soon as today. they want to make sure he's well enough before that. linsey? >> understand that there, caution. marcus, thank you. now to the trial for the killing of ahmaud arbery. jury selection begins tomorrow for a father, son and their neighbor all facing murder charges, accused of chasing him through their georgia neighborhood. elwyn lopez is in atlanta for us this morning. good morning, elwyn. >> reporter: hey, linsey, good morning. a killing caught on camera. three men set to go on trial for the death of ahmaud arbery with the start of jury selection now just a day away. it's said to be one of the biggest trials in georgia's history. three men accused in the murder

of 25-year-old ahmaud arbery. last year his death sparked national outrage. over the weekend in coastal georgia that spark reignited with people spilling into the streets, demanding justice ahead of jury selection monday. >> we don't have to all look alike or believe in the same beliefs, but we're so much geater together. >> reporter: the defendants are white. the victim, black. >> it's hard to believe it had nothing to do with race. the black and brown community are wondering are we in a system that will be just for all people? >> reporter: jury duty notices hitting the mailboxes of 1,000 people, roughly 1 out of every 85 residents in the county. >> it's going to be difficult to find a group of people who say they didn't develop an opinion about the case. >> reporter: deborah roberts got a chance to sit down with aubrey's mother. >> what i have to go through in

the midst of the trial is really scary. some days i have my doubts about getting justice for ahmaud, you know. >> reporter: getting justice part of a national outcry after this cell phone video emerged. it was taken by neighbor william roddy bryant who joined the defendants as prosecutors say they chased over the jogger. >> we believe that roddy was nothing more than a witness to the shooting. >> reporter: mcmichael's attorney said the father and son thought arbery was a burglar and they were trying to make a citizen's arrest. the encounter turned deadly. it ended with travis allegedly shooting and killing bryant fil. for more than two months there was no arrest until this video was leaked. the mcmichaels and bryant are facing nine counts each. felony murder, malice murder and aggravated assault.

they all plead not guilty and in a statement to abc news the mcmichael's attorney says they're hopeful for a fair jury in this case. victor? >> elwyn, thank you. joining us now is attorney shana lloyd. shana, thanks for making the time for us here. this trial has been called one of the biggest in georgia state history. what are the implications behind it? >> it's how people see justice for black and brown folks. in this area, the population, the jury will have to make a decision about whether or not this was something that should have occurred. it has a lot of racial implications as far as the men who acted, as well as the victim. >> how strong is the prosecution's case here? what evidence, besides the video that's so tough to watch, what other evidence might they use and what will the defense be saying? >> well for the prosecution what we're going to see is a lot of information about what they were seeing, where he was, the state

of the home, the idea that he burglarized a home that was still under construction, that would not have had anything in it. i think we will see a lot of information about that. what they actually saw him doing. you'll see them bring in those things. the defense in this case is trying to project that they believed he was committing -- that he was burglarizing that particular home and that is the defense by which they are saying they could make that citizens arrest. you'll see a lot of information about that. >> there's another wrinkle here. the defense and prosecution have gone back and forth fighting about bringing up aubrey's past trouble and saying he was on probation. why is that important here? >> you have to remember they would have only known what they saw, they had no background information about him, and they didn't have other knowledge. bringing it into trial would have been overly prejudicial. i think it was a good call by the judge. >> this case has already brought changes to the georgia law, right?

>> absolutely, they repealed the citizen arrest law that has been on the books far too long. they got rid of that already. i think we'll see changes going and continuing. >> we'll be following it all. shana, thank you so much. whit? now to the urgent manhunt in that deadly shooting outside of a houston nightclub. a police officer killed and two others wounded in what they're calling an ambush. abc's ike ejiochi has more. >> two officers down. >> reporter: this morning an all-out manhunt for the suspect responsible for ambushing a group of deputies in houston, killing one of them. >> what happened was evil. >> reporter: authorities say three harris county constables were shot while checking on a possible robbery. >> i'm at 4449 north freeway, people running around, it's getting a little hectic out here. >> reporter: authorities say deputies were trying to make an arrest when a gunman opened fire

with an ar-15 assault rifle. kareem atkins was killed, he just return from paternity leave. darryl garrett was shot in the back. he's in the icu. 26-year-old barthen was shot in the leg. garrett's fiance said they were all very good friends. >> they called each other brothers. the only thing i can say is i'm asking for prayers from everybody, from the community, please pray for us. we're going through a lot and this is just the beginning for us. >> reporter: officers standing at attention while deputy atkins' body was taken to the medical examiner's office. one person was taken into custody, but not believed to be the shooter. president biden recognized houston's police department at an event in washington, d.c., just hours after the shooting. >> chief, i'm here for you, pal. so is everybody else.

we mourn the fallen. we pray for the recovery of the wounded. >> reporter: now, according to the officer down memorial page, 361 police officers have died in the line of duty this year. 50 coming from gunfire. linsey? >> ike, thank you so much. first, we're going to toss it over to you, rob, for weather. but at least you were able to get your pumpkin picking done. right before the storms. >> the storm is rolling in, but we got through the corn maze. priorities. >> by coincidence he was at the same patch as my wife and kids were, but they never saw each other. i think she was avoiding you. >> probably. >> a different kind of maze yesterday for you.

i was at "gameday" yesterday. you being here, i had a chance to work with your producer mara robles. she said she liked working with me better. >> we disagree. >> maybe an exaggeration. nice to see you in person, victor. >> usually we're chasing hurricanes together so it's nice to be dry. >> he cleans up nice. >> i have a suit. >> rob, thank you very much. we want to get to this story as well. big honor for bill pinkney, the first african-american to be inducted into the national sailing hall of fame. newport, rhode island. he documented his 27,000 mile 22-month journey around the world back in the early 1990s they turned it into a disney documentary and a book to hopefully inspire children and

teach them the lessons that he learned in his time at sea. congratulations to the captain. truly an inspiring story. victor, you spoke with kids as well that would love to follow in his footsteps. >> yes. i was at this school in tampa called sail future. they teach under privileged and foster kids how to sail. all these kids walk away with lessons like leadership, communication, all these life skills. sailing ends up turning into a lot of other good stuff. >> true trailblazer. still ahead another city in michigan with a water crisis. we'll take you to benton harbor where the governor is promising help. and you might see fewer witches and goblins this holiday. a costume shortage could cramp your style. and a sneak peek at "the real queens of hip-hop," the women who made their mark and changed the music industry for generations to come.
