tiger woods' road to recovery. almost one year after that devastating car wreck -- >> each and every day is a fight. >> -- what he says about getting back on the golf course. ♪ feel the vibration ♪ ♪ it's such a good vibration ♪ and it's a good morning. tom holland and mark wahlberg teaming up for an action-packed adventure. >> whoa. >> sailing into "uncharted" territory. they are both here, live, in times square. good morning, america. tom holland, mark wahlberg, looks like another big hit movie. >> quite a team. >> quite a duo. we've got a lot to get to. we're tracking that massive winter storm moving through the country right now. 180 million americans are now under storm alerts from colorado to maine, where heavy snow,

dangerous ice and possible flooding. much more on that ahead. but we begin with the latest on the showdown with russia over ukraine. the tensions are escalating with shelling reported this morning and the white house says that russia has added thousands of troops to the border in recent days, contradicting putin's claim that he's withdrawing forces. terry moran is on the scene in ukraine. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. in many ways russia is keeping up the pressure, keeping up the threat here. for example, that long simmering conflict in eastern ukraine between ukraine and those russian-backed russian armed separatists is heating up and it's a real flash point. this morning, tensions escalate on ukraine's eastern border. ukraine has accused the russian-controlled separatists there, firing on a village, accusing them of hitting a kindergarten. images of the school circulating online and on ukrainian tv showing a hole in the wall and a damaged roof. at the same time those russian-controlled separatists are accusing ukrainian troops of

launching large-scale shelling of civilian areas they control. no independent confirmation and all this amid fears that russia may be looking for a pretext to attack, and russia has announced an investigation into claims of alleged mass graves of civilians in those russian-controlled regions of eastern ukraine. the victims supposedly killed by ukrainian forces. the claims are unproven. >> mr. putin, if he decides to invade ukraine will need to fabricate an excuse, to manufacture a reason to go in so we cn convince his own people and try to convince the rest of the world that his motives are legitimate. >> reporter: overnight, the white house claims as many as 7,000 additional russian troops have arrived near the ukrainian border in recent days. >> we've also seen continued problematic, troubling buildup of troops at the border and surrounding ukraine. >> reporter: nevertheless, russia continues to claim that it is moving some troops away from the border even releasing videos which they say show their forces packing up and leaving. now the biden administration with an all-hands on approach.

this morning, we visited the bomb shelter beneath an apartment building here and while this mom of two who manages many buildings for the city showed us around, the reality of the threat hit her. could you imagine that this might actually be used in war, this shelter? no, she says. i could never have imagined that there could be a war. oksanna's two children, like children across this country, are doing drills in their schools preparing for a russian attack. it's getting real for people. in the two weeks i've been here it seems ukrainians have shifted from skepticism that anything would happen to disbelief, now to fear that it might. george? >> that's a real change, thanks very much. let's go to cecilia vega at the white house. cecilia, you know, we're seeing conflicting claims of what's happening with the shelling. the white house concerned about false flag operations by russia. >> reporter: george, good morning. this is a very serious warning

they're issuing about these potential false flags, russia lying to create this false be seeing that, those mass ady - graves, the fighting region in that separatist region in donbas. we just spoke to president, he's on his way to ohio, before he left he said the threat of a russian invasion right now, is, quote, very high, he says they're seeing russian troops move in right now, they may again be engaged in this false flag situation, he's hoping there's still a diplomatic solution right now, i asked if he believes putin will go ahead with this invasion. he does that could be the case within a matter of days. we turn to the dangerous weather that is sweeping across

the country. at least 31 states are bracing for snow, ice, and flooding as we head into the holiday weekend plus, a tornado threat in the south. ginger tracking it all for us, good morning, ginger. >> reporter: good morning, robin. you'll often hear us say it's like a one-two punch. this is like an mma fighter, no holds barred, hitting everything, kicking everything, taking people down covering more than 2,000 miles of our nation. let's start with what happened in colorado, roads were a wreck. denver catching up on a snow deficit, but certainly going to be tough in the early morning hours to get around until they get it cleared out. what we're seeing is warnings. wind advisories from mobile to manchester, new hampshire. we have flood alerts on the map. everything from tornadoes and damaging winds to, of course, snow and that is where we find our alex perez in kansas city, missouri, this morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, ginger. talk about winter whiplash. it was in the 60s here in kansas city yesterday and overnight those temperatures plummeted and this morning it's snow already. beside the snow the other big

concern is all of the ice on the roadways, several schools here have already announced they'll be closed and the morning commute, ginger, it's expected to be a mess. >> oh, yeah, and snow all the way, alex, thank you, by the way, to quincy up through valparaiso through michigan and ann arbor and ice on the southern end that moves up. then this is the part that i really want everyone to wake up to, jackson mississippi, columbus, mississippi,biingh, al all in the tornado threat this afternoon through the early evening. everybody have two ways to get a warning. now to the new mask guidance on the way from the cdc expected to come as soon as next week as states drop their mandates. whit johnson joins us now with more on the battle over masks. good morning, whit. >> reporter: michael, good morning. the cdc director says she wants

to give people a break from wearing masks when the metrics get better, not just the number of daily covid infections in the country but key factors like hospital capacity, that new guidance is coming soon as more states move ahead on their own. this morning, with indoor mask mandates remaining in just a handful of states, the cdc expected to announce new mask guidance as early as next week. >> we must consider hospital capacity as an additional important barometer. our hospitals need to be able to take care of people with heart attacks and strokes. >> reporter: ten states are still running low on icu beds with capacity of 15% or less. despite cases plunging more than 80% since the omicron peak. the white house insisting it's actively planning for the next phase of the pandemic. >> we've been clear that as a country we're making strong progress toward moving to a time when covid is no longer a crisis. >> reporter: california, the latest state to drop its indoor mask mandate, but among at least a dozen states where masks are still required in schools.

>> i work with young kids and some of them, they don't have the vaccine yet so i think it's very important to keep the kids safe. >> reporter: the policy deeply dividing communities. >> this needs to end, you know, >> reporter: in san francisco, three school board members re-called. frustrated parents saying it took them too long to get kids back to in-person learning. the board instead focusing on issues like renaming schools. >> they should have been focused on re-opening schools. like most districts were thinking about. >> reporter: the mayor addressing the re-call election saying they need to refocus on children. >> our children, they suffered the most and they're still suffering and so we have to put aside all personality conflicts. >> reporter: a new forecast model used by the cdc suggests daily covid deaths in this country are finally expected to come down. however, those same models also

show an estimated 28,000 more americans could lose their lives to the virus in the next two weeks. george. >> okay, whit, thanks. we're going to turn now to the investigation of how police responded to a fight between teenagers at a new jersey mall. the officers treated the boys in very different ways and they put the black teen in handcuffs, just sat the other boy down and t.j. holmes with the story. >> reporter: of course, there has been increased focus and attention on disparities in policing in this country over the past couple years and now many point to this video you're about to see as a stark right before your eyes example. police encounter two teens engaged in a fight. one is told to have a seat. the other ends up face down in handcuffs with the weight of two officers on his back. this video shows police breaking up a fight between two kids. but then only one kid is pinned to the ground placed in handcuffs. both officers' knees on his back. this police response has triggered outrage and calls for the officers to be disciplined

or even fired for what many point to as the latest viral video example of the disparity in police treatment of black people. this all played out at the bridgewater commons mall in new jersey over the weekend when police were alerted to a disturbance. >> it sounds like a possible fight. >> reporter: the beginning of the bystander video shows the two kids jawing at each other before it's collates to shoving and punches. after the brief scuffle two bridgewater township officers arrive and separate them but watch as the two kids are handled differently by the officers. one is wrestled to the ground by an officer who puts his knee on his back and handcuffs him while the other kid was put on a couch and allowed to sit. the officer even turning her back to him briefly as she goes to assist the other officer and also places her knee on the kid's back. that kid was eighth grader kye. >> they basically tackled me to the ground and then the one -- male officer put his knee in my

back then he started putting me in cuffs then the female officer put a knee on like my upper back, too, and started helping put cuffs on me while he was sitting down on the couch watching. >> reporter: kye said the other kid was picking on his younger friend. bridgewater township police in a statement said they recognized that this video has made members of our community upset and are calling for an internal affairs investigation.responde quickly from escalating because of a tip we received from the community. but some want immediate action. the new jersey naacp is calling for the officers to be immediately removed from the police force pending an investigation. >> although the investigation is still gathering facts that i am and i want to reiterate i'm deeply disturbed by what appears to be a racially disparate treatment. in the video. >> reporter: kye's mother says she wants as many people as possible to see this video and

believes the officers should never again be allowed to wear the badge. >> to be honest, i want them to become unemployable. >> reporter: and there's no word this morning on any discipline for those officers or when an investigation might wrap up. george, stray, robin, kye's mother did confirm to us this morning that he turned 14 two weeks ago. >> as the governor said that video is so incredibly disturbing. >> very, very clear. >> t.j., thank you. now to the olympics and russia's 15-year-old skater, star figure skater back on the ice this morning as another athlete tests positive for doping. maggie rulli is there in beijing with more for us. good morning, maggie. >> reporter: hey, robin. mning, thice, what nobody expected falling and if she medal there would be no ceremony but valiyeva out, an awardser is knowny took place.

there's no word on what's going to happen with her medal orrer iser is knowny in the team event. kamila stumling and falling during her falling. va valiyeva overcome with emotion. >> now another doping allegation from another country competing in the games. ukrai ukrainian skier kaminska testing positive for both a steroid and a still you lapt. taken last thursday and revealed this week. on the slopes, a strong start, world champion skier mikaela shiffrin not making it to the finish line. the 26-year-old crowd favorite who competed in five events these games but has not yet medaled in any of them may have

one more shot on saturday. and heartbreak on the ice. the defending gold champion women's hockey team giving it their all against longtime rival canada missing their star player brianna decker out early in the game with a devastating injury, down two points scoring a goal in the last 12 seconds of the game but wasn't enough. team usa still taking home silver. well, that silver wasn't the only medal team usa picked up overnight. speed skater brittany bowe grabbing a bronze medal in the women's 1,000-meter final. that brings our total medal count to 21 overall, 8 of them gold. guys. >> all right, maggie, thank you. we're going to turn to the major league baseball lockout. negotiations are expected to resume today with spring training now delayed. trevor ault is at yankee stadium alone with more. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. yeah, we were supposed to have spring training this week. instead all major league baseball operations are completely shut down as they

have been for the past 2 1/2 months since the owners locked out the players at the end of the collective bargaining agreement. in that span there's been very little action in terms of negotiation, though both sides are set to meet today to discuss a proposal from the owners. now, some sticking points on this lockout, the owners want to expand the playoffs. we know those are very lucrative. the players want to make sure they're getting their fair cut particularly with younger players and they also want to make sure that every team is remaining competitive, not tanking and paying low salaries taking advantage of the league's revenue sharing. opening day is still set for march 31st which might seem like it's still a ways away but keep in mind these teams are going to need at least a good three or four weeks to get going particularly with covid protocols. if we don't see a deal soon we could see the beginning of this season lost to this lockout, guys. >> trevor, thanks very much. a lot more coming up on "gma" including the latest on bob saget. the family's request to stop releasing details to the

community about the comedian's death. and new royal trouble. london police launching an investigation into alleged corruption at prince charles' charity, but first back to ginger. i want all of you to know don't be worried tomorrow morning when you wake up to thunder because you will be. thinking, oh, it's spring, not really. it's just that we'll have one morning full of thunderstorms but it is going to come with wind too. yeah, we're going to bet back to cold, don't worry. those thunderstorms move through and heavy rain and flood western pennsylvania andonho, 5. we stopped it there. 4:00 a.m. don't be worried but you are probably going to get woken up by a thunderstorm. your local weather in 30 seconds. first, the stormy cities sponsored by invesco qqq.

attendants union joined delta airlines called for a federal no-fly list that would ban those convicted of disrupting flights from traveling on any airline. but this morning, eight republican senators are fighting against that proposal sending a letter to the u.s. attorney general arguing that a no-fly list would unfairly target individuals who don't want to wear a mask. citing the high number of infractions related to the mask mandate. the senators writing that the no-fly list would, quote, seemingly equate them to terrorists who seek to actively take the lives of americans and perpetrate attacks on the homeland. meanwhile, the association of flight attendants calls that letter irresponsible and political brinksmanship that puts our economic security at risk along with our lives. guys. >> that's true. all right, gio, thank you. we're going to turn now to tiger woods opening up almost yt about his frustration over his slow recovery and his plans to play golf again. erielle reshef is here with the

in all undoowe a special project or our hands and it would be celebrating three generations of cinema and be very nostalgic but could never have imagined it would be as successful as it has been so i got to say thank you to all the fans. we went to the cinema the other day to watch "uncharted" and "spider-man" is still busy. i was looking on the screen to see how many are watching it so it's amazing we got people back in the theaters. people are feeling comfortable again and safe enough to enjoy some family time and some escapism so now we just have to do it again with our movie or "uncharted." >> have a good back end deal to thank your agent. [ laughter ] >> learn from the master. >> i've done a lot of learning from this guy. >> you all have this sibling energy. what was it like working together? >> i didn't realize until after, why is this guy always annoying me so much? [ laughter ]

but i've always been the youngest. i've always been at my brother's heels and never had a younger brother before. >> i never had an older brother. >> oh, wow. >> i've never had an older brother before so i loved annoying you. >> that explains some of it. not quite all of it but we'll figure out the rest eventually. >> what did you kids think about being with a superhero? >> at first they weren't into it and now my daughter has a spider-man mask. my 12-year-old gracie and she's getting into that age where she started to look at boys and all this stuff and then the boys now are like, how's tom? is he cool? and they're also golfers and know i played a lot of golf with tom. >> who won? >> it was back and forth. we were just having fun. we were getting to know each other. >> yeah, he's a good player. he can hit it a long ways. sometimes he has trouble finding the ball. >> that's a key thing. >> the only reason i can't he

plays with four of his mates who find his ball for him. >> again, advantage, wahlberg. advantage, wahlberg. i play -- i was literally attached to play his role and i aged out of it now i'm playing the savvy vet & using all of my moves every chance i get. >> i think we should show everybody a clip of it. let's take a look. >> you got to do something now. >> this is going to suck. >> that was something. you're doing great. hang in there. >> no. >> ooh. >> tom, you're used to playing a comic book character. how does it compare to a video game character? >> it's different. i think it brings a lot more pressure, you know, when you play someone like spider-man and read the comics there are hundreds of different versions of the character where you can

pull inspiration from. with "uncharted" one game series and the fans haven't been able to witness what nathan drake has done but been that character for the last 15 years so for us to pick them up and try to figure out a way to sort of pay our respect to the game but bringing our own sort of take to it was a lot of pressure, you know, because these games sold 40 million copies around the world. we wanted to make sure we did justice to the fans, i think we have. >> absolutely and also the great thing about the game it's so cinematic and lends itself to being adapted to a film so you don't have to have known the game to enjoy the movie. this is much more along the lines of an indiana jones type of film. >> you know, the action scenes, we saw all that but the bartending skills. >> right, yeah. >> where did you pick that up? >> i just -- it was an important thing for me because nathan drake is a character who is incredibly capable but not well trained. when we'reing to b had no convi

the audience and flair bartending is impressive. there's a lot of camera trickery like i smashed so many bottles when we were making this but went to bartending school and ended up working a few shifts at my favorite bar in london, not officially like when the manage many team found out they kicked me out and i haven't been back since. but, no, i just thought it was a nice way to sort of show the audience what this kid was capable of to sort of sell the story later on. >> is it true what you were saying earlier? you aged out. >> i was attached -- right after the "the fighter" we were attached to do a version of "uncharted" so when i got the phone call, we're finally getting "uncharted," cool, because last time we had de niro, maybe jack or tommy lee jones. we got tom holland. i said, for what? they were like, we want you for sully, the old guy. but, of course, you see me

rough my heads whilee'g fll oveg that's actually pretty cool and i do -- it would be embarrassing for me at 50 to be trying to play this part. i think, you know, i'm aging gracefully and embraced playing the older guy. >> did you embrace being engaged to madea? >> i want my visitation and alimony. tyler has been a huge influence and financed my first film and tyler owns all of his intellectual property. he's been an absolute trail blazer in that way so i've learned a lot from him and i'm actually going to send him the film and continue to pick his brain and follow in his footsteps. >> set a great example. you facetimed him. >> i was trying to get him while he was on the air. [ laughter ] >> so you played a lot of golf but i know your workouts are legendary.

did you get tom in the gym? was he able to keep up? >> he never showed up to the gym. he borrowed the gym. he borrowed the gym. he always showed up after, before. and i was never going to try to test or challenge him. i was just like another way for us to bond. >> it would have been nice. we just had different workout routines. he's trying to lose the weight and i'm trying to put it on. so we didn't want to do the same thing. >> you know what, they really are siblings. >> i love it. the gym was big enough and had enough equipment to do it all. >> i'm messing. >> it's all good. >> hopefully we'll do two or three for together. >> soon. >> soon, absolutely. >> hey, but, seriously great to have you both here. always a lot of fun and "uncharted" hits theaters tomorrow. make sure you check it out. laugh with these two guys and coming up, robin joins a trailblazing explorer for shipwrecks to uncover history. more with "gma." >> that was good. ♪ all my favorite colors my sisters and my brothers ♪

i don't know abo i don't know about you but still smiling and catching our breath after mark and tom. we've been celebrating black history month and exploring the great adventure about bringing diversity and inclusion to outdoor activities. tara roberts, the first black

woman explorer and storyteller to cover "national geographic" magazine. and she took me out to explore ♪ur history underwater.- we're going into the depths. >> right now we are going to here. >> with nat geo explorer and storyteller tara roberts as she sets off on the journey of a lifetime. scuba diving to deepen our understanding of american history. you put so much on hold and you followed these extraordinary group of divers. how did you find out about diving with a purpose? >> i happened to go to the national museum of african american history and culture right there in d.c. there was a picture of a group of primarily black women in wet suits on a boat and i discovered that they were a part of this group called diving with a purpose and that their mission was to search for and help

document slave ship wrecks around the world. it spurred some stuff inside of me. >> reporter: the group of black divers searching for artifacts at the bottom of the ocean to uncover the untold history of the transatlantic slave trade. 1.8 million lives lost, about 1,000 ships wrecked. motion recently the clotilda. >> this is not just black people's history. this is global history. there were four continents involved. it went on for 400 years. the transportation of 12.5 million africans changed coastlines and landscapes and created wealth. it diminished wealth. >> reporter: so tara dived right in, quitting her job and receiving her scuba certification to help bring the story of diving with a purpose they're from all washingtons of life. >> they're not necessarily scientists or historians. they're yoga teachers, policemen, civil engineers, students and they are committed to this work.

>> reporter: for tara and dwp it's all about preserving our heritage and educating the next generation. ♪ we went out on the water for a scuba training session led by diving with a purpose instructor kramer. what is it like for you personally? >> it's about being able to tell the stories of those nameless africans who were on that ship and recognizing we need to turn this over to young people who are going to end up being the ones who can continue to work once we're done. >> reporter: that includes tara's 13-year-old nieces, now following in their aunt's footsteps. >> now we can glance down and we want to see how much air we have. >> reporter: training for weeks to receive their own certification. >> we are are out here training and practicing for our dive. >> it's fun. it's always going to be fun.

>> i like how she goes scuba diving and like she saw a lot of things. >> hopefully i don't see a shark. >> reporter: the duo putting in practice to take this giant leap of faith. their first time diving into open water. >> it's really cool. they just said there's a shark. that's why i'm here. they, in fact, saw a shark, plenty of fish and their proud auntie tara on the other side. >> all right. this next generation that's coming along, your nieces, so what was it about your story and what you do that inspired in the museum. we're not often represented and if you're not seen people don't think that's for them. >> now you represent because you

are the first black woman explorer/storyteller on the cover of "nat geo" magazine. >> so crazy. i grew up reading "nat geo" and i never saw like explorers that looked like me so it's mind blowing to see this picture. there's something that is surprisingly healing about this work. there's agency. this idea that a group of people, ordinary people have raised their hands and said, you know what, that history is important and i'm going to do what i can to help raise it from the depths. there's something really empowering about that. >> there really is. have to thank our friends at "nat geo" for their help with this. it was fascinating to be out on the water. >> you weren't tempted to go in after that shark. >> that's why the niece was like, it's a nurse shark. it was a sleeping shark, right? i did realize there were 36,000

voyages, 36,000 voyages and approximately a thousand ships were lost and so you had this group of people who are putting their lives on hold. they're leaving their jobs and some still keep them but from all walks of life and they're finding such incredible artifacts and just being able to document it to share with everybody. >> what was your favorite part? >> my favorite part seeing the young ones, seeing her two nieces and how excited they were and how they were learning so much and wanting to learn and they were not thrilled about seeing the shark. they got through it. we'll have so much more on "nightline." i hope you'll tune in for that. we talk about how they go about using a whiteboard when they go by and see the artifacts. they don't bring everything up. you'll see that on "nightline." find out more about tara and the into the depths podcast at natgeo.com. >> thank you for that. today along the east coast

it captures the outrage of the family to the crash victims. take a look. >> boeing has never reached out to us directly. it communicates their lack of remorse, their lack of accountability and that's infuriating. for them it was business as usual, but we're the ones that are trying to make sure that other families never have to deal with what we're dealing with. >> the documentary was directed and produced by filmmaker rory kennedy. she joins us now. rory, thank you for coming this this morning. we saw the palpable pain of the families in that segment right there and that pain is not going away any time soon. we just read about the settlement that boeing reached. $2.5 billion settlement but it shields them from criminal prosecution. the families are not happy about that. >> no, i think that if you're a

family member and you've lost a father or a daughter in these horrendous crashes and you know the decisions that were made by boeing that led to these crashes that the financial implications of this settlement are quite hurtful. defazio who led the investigation, the congressional investigation against boeing concluded that this was really a slap on the wrist against boeing and i think, you know, to add further outrage on behalf of the families is the fact that the head of boeing at the time, the ceo, president of boeing walked away from this with $62 million. >> you know, we all covered this every day in the news. we covered the legal proceedings as well. what was it about the story that made you want to dig in and turn it into a documentary? >> 346 people died, you know, we all fly.

i fly, my kids fly. i actually have a bit of a fear of flying and i really wanted to understand what happened. who knew what, when, who was responsible for these crashes and hopefully learn something from that to prevent this from ever happening again. >> what shocked you the most as you were studying it? >> well, i think the thing that was most upsetting. there were a lot of revelations in the course of this documentary but i think the thing that was most upsetting was the report that was done between the first crash and the second crash so as many of us know, these two crashes same plane, the 737 max happened within five months of each other. between those two crashes there was a report done with the support of the faa, the regulatory agency that concluded that this plane would likely crash 15 times over the course of its lifetime.

and the faa and boeing during that period of time made the decision to keep these planes in the air and i think, you know, in talking to some of the family members would were on that second plane, to now understand that, to understand that there was a decision made that there was a likelihood that this plane was going to crash but because of financial incentive, boeing and the faa decided to keep those planes in the air instead of making the fix before sending them back up there, you know, is just a sucker punch. i mean i think it's -- there's no words. >> rory, i'm afraid we're out of time. "downfall" premieres tomorrow. and i want to give this statement from boeing. boeing said since the accident they have made significant changes as a company and to the design of the 737 max to ensure that accidents like those never happen again. everyone can watch tomorrow. rory, thanks for coming in. we'll be rig in new york city, ♪ ♪ there's always something new to discover.
