>> reporter: good morning, michael. here's the issue. hastings, nebraska, had a record high of 66, feels like this morning, single digits and so that flash freeze you add on top of that 65-mile-per-hour winds and anybody that had snow on the ground gets a ground blizzard like they did in fargo, north dakota. you can the winds took the visibility down to less than a quarter mile. lots of accidents and spinouts. now we see the cold air move south but also fuel storms and so we will see ice, snow and some severe storms in the south, the midsouth moving through kentucky, west virginia thursday morning. tomorrow morning we get a little hit of snow, one to two inches across washington, d.c., up to boston. another one will impact anyone from corpus christi to laredo back up to south carolina/north carolina, raleigh, cecilia, in for snow and ice and looks like most of this remains out to sea for the weekend. we're watching the storm. >> i know it's chilly there,

ginger, but that is a beautiful view behind you. we turn to the startling new covid numbers. nearly a million children testing positive last week. that's four times the rate from the peak last winter. this as the white house now plans to give out 400 million free n-95 masks and the rollout for those free at-home tests now under way. kayna whitworth is at the largest testing facility in california. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: cecilia, good morning. so the distribution of those masks is the single largest deployment of personal protective gear in u.s. history. and here they're making history as well. you can see the fully automated labs are running 24 hours a day and have the ability to process 5,000 to 6,000 tests every hour and they're seeing a huge need from preschools and day cares. this morning, the white house launching its website for free cvid tests, covidtests.gov one day early. millions already ordering four free at-home test. >> every website launch comes

with risks. we can't guarantee there won't be a bug or two. >> reporter: they won't ship out for a week to 12 days and the biden administration announcing it is partnering with pharmacy and community centers to give out 400 million free n-95 masks. releasing them from the strategic national stockpile. masks could be available as soon as next week at community health centers and pharmacies across the country. hospitals still battling a crush of cases and this morning, a startling jump in pediatric infections. nearly 1 million children tested positive for covid-19 just last week. that's four times the rate at the peak of last winter's surge. as cases spike in california, we got a look inside the state's largest testing site. fully automated and working around the clock processing up to 120,000 rapid pcr tests every 24 hours, the fast turnaround helping keep the country's second largest school district in session. twice a day flying the tests from los angeles to palo alto. students receiving results before their next school day? that was our goal from day one.

we focused on schools, we got to get kids back. >> reporter: pfizer saying its new antiviral pill is proving effective against omicron in lab tests which could be a promising tool when fighting this variant. well, also the founders here at summerbio are in talks with state and government leaders with the hopes of getting a lab like this in every region for large-scale pandemic response. >> talking about tests by the white house going out now or the website going up. another option, to buy them on their own and get reimbursed by their insurance? >> reporter: that's right, cecilia. so that applies to fda approved at-home tests you can buy over the counter and with most plans, you can go to certain pharmacies

and show your card and pay nothing up front. a lot of insurance companies will reimburse you up to $12 a test and you might be eligible for eight tests per month per person on the policy. also keep in mind this is retroactive for any tests purchased on or after january 15th. but it does not apply to those on medicare, a medicare supplement or medicaid. the latest on the investigations into donald trump and the january 6th insurrection. two big developments overnight from new york's attorney general and the house committee in washington. our chief washington correspondent jon karl is tracking them both. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. as the january 6th committee ramps up its investigation into the capitol riot, new york's attorney general is for the first time giving a detailed account of a totally separate two-year investigation into the trump organization. overnight an escalation in the legal battle between former

president trump and new york's attorney general. in a new court filing attorney general letitia james accuses the trump organization of engaging in, quote, fraudulent or misleading practices. james also accuses trump's fmily business of repeatedly misrepresenting the value of its assets as part of a pattern to suggest that mr. trump's net worth was higher than it otherwise would have appeared. examples she cited included $150,000 initial nation fees into one of trump's golf clubs that it allegedly never collected. mansions on one of his private estates that had allegedly not yet been built and adding almost 20,000 extra square feet that allegedly never existed to his own trump tower apartment. james is asking a court to compel trump and other trump family members to testify as part of a civil investigation and now for the first time a member of trump's family is also the focus of the january 6th committee investigation into the riot at the capitol. >> my father has started a movement and this movement will never ever die. >> reporter: abc news has learned after issuing subpoenas,

the january 6th committee has already received the mobile phone records of the former president's son eric and of kimberly guilfoyle, the girlfriend of donald trump jr. the records include the dates, times and durations of calls to and from their phones but not the content of the calls or text messages. >> let's have trial by combat. >> reporter: the committee is issuing subpoenas for rudy giuliani and three other members of trump's legal team who aggressively pushed lies about election fraud and tried to pressure state legislatures to overturn election results. the targets include sidney powell who made up outlandish conspiracy theories including the idea that voting machines were rigged by former venezuela leader hugo chavez who died seven years before the election. rudy giuliani's lawyer tells abc news, quote, they're not going to charge rudy giuliani with anything and they're also not going to get any information

from rudy giuliani factually. so it doesn't sound like he will cooperate with the committee but, george, sidney powell's lawyer said she is willing to testify and provide, quote, evidence of her baseless claims of election fraud to the committee. >> we know about the new york a.g.'s investigation and the house committee is asking others questions about donald trump. what's not clear is whether the department of justice is pursuing a prosecution of donald trump. >> reporter: not clear at all. the attorney general, the doj has been asked about this repeatedly and say they will not comment one way or another whether or not trump himself is the subject of a federal criminal investigation. >> jon karl, thanks very much. michael? now to breaking news overseas and escalating crisis with russia over ukraine. antony blinken arriving on a high stakes mission to avert a russian invasion and our senior foreign correspondent ian pannell is on the ground in ukraine. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, michael. that's right, the russians

saying they won't wait endlessly for a response to their demands calling these talks critical. the next few days certainly could be decisive in trying to alleviate this growing crisis. this morning, america's top diplomats landing here in ukraine for talks to try to prevent russian military action. meeting with ukrainian president zelensky and reaffirming u.s. support for ukraine. >> we've made very clear to moscow that if it chooses to renew aggression against ukraine it will be met and it will face very severe consequences. >> reporter: the white house ramping up its rhetoric claiming a russian invasion could happen at any moment. >> let's be clear, our view is this is an extremely dangerous situation where russia could at any point launch an attack. >> reporter: overnight the russian embassy in washington responding on twitter again denying they've any such plans saying we stress once again russia is not going to attack anyone but at the same time it's deploying yet more troops and

hardware. now arriving in belarus to ukraine's north for war games adding to the pressure from thousands already massing in the east. vladimir putin threatening a military technical response unless he gets a guarantee that ukraine won't join nato but not saying what that could mean. secretary of state blinken heading to geneva friday and another face-to-face with russian foreign minister lavrov. after three meetings last week failed to bridge the divide between the u.s. and russia there's more pressure, i think, on this meeting on friday. the fact that both sides are still talking is good but if this arranged meeting does not produce results this crisis risks taking a dangerous new turn. cecelia? >> so much on the line. ian, thank you. we turn to the showdown on capitol hill over voting rights. today democrats expected to force a vote on the issue even though it appears it has no chance of passing. our congressional correspondent rachel scott is there on capitol hill with the latest. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: cecilia, good morning.

democrats have been scrambling to find a way to pass voting rights legislation but today it is expected to fail for the fifth time. senators had been debating this legislation for hours. the bill would make election day a federal holiday, expand early voting, mail-in voting and empower the justice department to police potential voter discrimination in the states. every single republican senator is opposed to this so today senate majority leader chuck schumer will force a vote to try to change the rules so democrats can pass this on their own. that will be blocked by two members of his own party, senator joe manchin, senator kyrsten sinema, they're not on board with that plan. it will be a setback for president biden and his administration. already 19 states across the country have passed laws making it harder for people to vote. election officials in states like texas say they are already feeling the ripple effects of that, turning away hundreds of mail-in ballot applications just weeks before their state's primary thanks to new strict

voter laws. george? >> okay, rachel, thanks. voting rights, ukraine, all likely to be addressed at president biden's first formal news conference later today. it's just ahead of his first anniversary in office. our senior white house correspondent mary bruce will be there. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. yeah, the president is going to be facing tough questions here today. one year into his presidency we expect him to tout his accomplishments like the massive covid relief package, his bipartisan infrastructure bill and vaccine rollout. the president is also well aware he is facing some real challenges right now. his top two legislative priorities, that big social spending plan and voting rights package we just heard about both stalled on the hill facing pushback from his own party. inflation, we know is soaring and the president's approval rating is hovering around 40%. under water there. the white house admits they know they have a lot of work to do here and today is a chance for the president to try and reset. but, george, with the midterms coming up in november there is not a lot of time for the president to finish his to do list.

>> no, there is not. mary bruce, thanks very much. we will be broadcasting president biden's press conference today at 4:00 eastern. michael? we're going to turn to verizon and at&t agreeing to delay launching their 5g service near airports after airlines warned the new technology could interfere with flight operations. transportation correspondent gio benitez is live at newark airport with more for us this morning. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, michael, good morning to you. at&t and verizon are keeping those stronger 5g signals away from airports like this one for now. even so, we are still seeing a few cancellations today. some international carriers like emirates have canceled some flights into the u.s. early just in case. now, with that 5g launch delayed near airports, the faa says it will work to figure out if and how those 5g signals will affect planes. let's go ahead and show you why the aviation industry is concerned. that stronger 5g signal is similar to the frequency of a

plane's radio altimeter. now, that is a device piles use to judge their distance from the ground. without it pilots may not be able to land potentially leading to thousands of diverted and canceled flights, not just passenger flights but cargo flights too. airlines say it would have been catastrophic. meanwhile the wireless carriers believe that those signals are safe and they say the aviation industry and the faa had two years to figure this all out. cecelia? >> you'll stay on this for us, gio. thank you. this morning, everyone, we are celebrating the life of a trailblazer in the fashion industry, andre leon talley, the influential fashion journalist was the first black man to be the creative director of "vogue." oprah saying another legend gone. not too be duplicated. erielle reshef joins us with more on his legacy. good morning, erielle. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. talley was a trend setting titan, a fixture at nearly every major fashion show. a towering figure who will leave a lasting legacy.

with his capes and caftans and head pieces, andre leon was larger than life called a creative genius, this trailblazing legend rose to prominence as creative director and editor at large of "vogue" under anna wintour. a fashion force unlike any other. he broke barriers as a black editor at the top of a predominantly white field and helped dress michelle obama when she was first lady. was an adviser to designer oscar de la renta and mentor to naomi campbell. even a judge on "america's next top model" that helped define american fashion. andre talley died at the age of 73. and messages of love are now pouring in from across the fashion world. diane von furstenberg said no one saw the world in a more glamorous way than you did. i love you. i think he made us all more fashionable. >> i think we all need to work

more capes into our fashion. new focus on the spike of random acts of violence in major american cities. and the damage from that massive volcano and tsunami. the urgent relief effort under way. let's go back to ginger. >> reporter: we have windchill advisories from wisconsin all the way south to arkansas where they will feel subzero windchills as of tomorrow morning. 5 below in harrison. st. louis will feel like 11 be low. indy, 0. it will get colder because it keeps sliding east and will feel like only 13 by friday morning in raleigh and 0 in charleston, west virginia. we'll keep an eye on all that cold. the stormy cities now sponsored by dell technologies.

back sending a scathing cease and desist letter to her sister jamie lynn. right now we're going to move to shocking acts of violence in l.a. and new york have raised alarms about crime, homelessness and mental health and pierre thomas has the story. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: george, good morning. it's a nation struggling with the recent surge in violence and there have been a number of tragic attacks by strangers targeting victims they did not know and two of our nation's biggest cities and is raising uncomfortable questions about the randomness of violence in this country. police say this suspect can be seen on surveillance video, shopping in a store. he says he's the man who allegedly attacked and murdered brianna kupfer. >> we are topping over $250,000 for the capture and conviction of the suspects. this is important to bring more

attention to this crime and get more public response. >> reporter: the reward coming after a tragic case of stranger violence. the ucla grad student was working by herselfn ddle of t anoth hi-end furniture sren s an believed to be homeless, and seen here on surveillance footage walked in and stabbed her and then left through a back door. kupfer's father speaking with us she was genuine and she was caring. she was loving and she wanted things to be better. >> this individual responsible for this vicious, senseless and brutal crime walks among us. >> reporter: that same day a 70-year-old nurse sandra shels waiting for a bus in downtown los angeles attacked by a different man who police also believe is homeless. >> it's sad. it's sad to hear, you know, getting ready to retire and this is what happens. >> reporter: los angeles like other cities has been gripped by

a surge of violence in the past two years. in l.a., homicides were up more than 50% compared to 2019 before the pandemic. and in new york, two days after the attacks in los angeles, michelle go was pushed onto the tracks of an approaching subway car allegedly by this man. investigators say he is homeless and emotionally disturbed with several prior arrests. are the homeless anymore dangerous than anyone else? according to lapd data about 10% of the city's nearly 400 homicides in 2021 had a homeless suspect. experts stress there is no national data suggesting that the homeless commit more acts of vice than the general public. advocates for the homeless say people in that community are often the victims of crime. >> what we've seen lately are just some nationally televised incidents th

national attention and rightfully so. they're isolated and nothing more than that. i really think it's important that we go back to providing more services for mentally ill individuals, particularly the homeless and i think that's part of the reason why we're starting to see individuals who are kind of stepping out of the norm and engaging in these violent crimes. >> pierre, the other big factor, the surge of crime has coincided with the pandemic. >> reporter: the spike in violence involved pretty much the whole country. there's not enough national data involving the homeless to make any conclusions about trends for that population. what we do know the pandemic played a role in the overall spike and that people and services have been stressed and that impacts the homeless too. >> pierre thomas, thank you. cecelia? we're going to turn to new details on that massive volcano eruption off the coast of tonga. nasa estimating it was equivalent to 10 megatons of tnt, more powerful than an atomic bomb.

matt gutman is in fiji where they're staging relief efforts. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, cecelia. scientists tell me this was a once in a century eruption. it rattled windows, shook walls in fiji, 500 miles away. it was heard as far away as alaska. as the first images are starting come in, we're learning it could take a month to restore communication in tonga and some of thoseds completely wiped out. this morning, the first images out of tonga. streets impassable with rubble, cars smothered in ash. homes destroyed. the government able to release its first statement saying with internet and phones down it still has yet to make contact with some islands describing near 50-foot tsunamis swamping islands of emerald green with brown sludge. these images showing those shipping containers swept up like legos. the airport smothered in ash, homes wiped out. and those tsunamis raced thousands of miles across the

they're one of the few countries in the world that's remained covid free. >> reporter: this is not only a massive humanitarian challenge for tonga. it is also a moral dilemma for its government. they've managed to keep basically covid free the past two years with a single case and the question they have now, do they allow in foreign aid groups to bring in supplies but also covid? guys? >> a single case, wow. thank you, matt. coming up next, britney spears firing back, the singer's reaction to her sister's new book. ter has type 2 diabetes and lately i've seen this change in her. once-weekly trulicity is proven to help lower a1c. it lowers blood sugar from the first dose. and you could lose up to ten pounds. trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. it's not approved for use in children. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck,

did take the steps to help, but how many times can i take the steps without -- you know, she has to walk throug the door. >> reporter: the spears sisters' strained relationship has been playing out in the public eye through their social media. now, the feud is escalating with britney threatening legal action. michelle obama famously said when they go low, we go high and to britney's great credit that's exactly what britney is going to do for the final being. you reportedly stated that the book was not about her. she takes you at your word and we therefore demand that you cease and desist from referring to britney derogatorily during your book campaign. if you fail to do so britney will be forced to consider and take all appropriate legal action. and britney's attorney will be back in court today. even though that conservatorship has been terminated there's still financial and accounting matters that need to be taken care of including britney's father's effort to get his legal fees paid by britney's estate.

finance that, you know, it's all about i've got a finite paycheck. that's all i've got. what can i do with it? how do i break it up? how do i cut my costs as much as possible? i want to retrain your brain, thinking about how can i add more? what do i have? what do i want and need and how do i get there and start thinking about what are the skills and abilities that i naturally have? what are the experiences that i have that i can start to cash in on where i can start a side hustle or find another way to make additional money, right? y e oat your personal genius is -- we all have it. we all have natural talent. not sure what it is, take online assessments like strength finder to point you to where your natural skills and abilities lie and then you can find ways to capitalize on them. >> you say one of the best investments is in yourself. sometimes that feels easier said than done, i got to say. >> oh, absolutely, especially as women. we are absolutely trained not to invest in ourselves. when we tell a friend, i'm going to invest in this new course or go to grad school or i'll do

this thing for myself, you know, we're told, cut costs, don't get the haircut. i say let's invest in ourselves. get that new training you want. get that hair cut that makes you feel good. do the things that are going to make you feel good. when you feel good, you'll show up the way you want to. then you need to buy back your time, right? one of the best things we can do is invest in increasing our free time so that we have more time to invest in our wealth-building activities. so, for example, one thing i love to tell my clients to do is stop doing laundry, right? you can outsource laundry and take it to a drop-off service for $35 and get back your whole weekend, right? instead of spending the whole weekend doing laundry, you spend that time working on your side hustle or even getting some rest so that you can show up to work on monday ready to go. >> great tip, rachel. thank you so much. get more tips from rachel on our website, goodmorningamerica.com. we'll head back over to ginger.

i recommend going with my golden choco-latte. what i use is the rachel beller nutrition golden breakfast blend. it's a delicious blend. it has cacao, turmeric, both work so well together and have been shown to help reduce inflammation and i have ceylon cinnamon that offers natural sweetness without adding sugar. you can add any plant-based milk you want and to sweeten it i added a little date syrup. a little goes a long way, delicious. then if you want caffeine fix, you can add a shot of espresso and, michael, you're saving money here. this costs less than a dollar so it's all good and you're adding more good to your health and your life. >> and that is fantastic. what about bread? how do we level up bread? >> so when it comes to our bread, we want to look for

breads that resist then when it comes to oil, we want to swap out nutrient rich oils. cold pressed olive oil. avocado oil. flax seed oil and walnut oil. great things to use. if you want to find out more, join my next master class. it's an easy action plan for losing weight and reducingucingg cancer. >> that starts on january 23rd. coming up dion warwick.
