♪ i feel alive ♪ revealed overnight. one of the biggest deep sea mysteries in history now solved. what explorers just found almost 10,000 feet under the harsh antarctic ice more than 100 years after sinking, the famous ship that's finally been found. ♪ pump up the jam ♪ and what's got will ferrell suiting up with the warriors even going one-on-one with superstar klay thompson? ♪ and we certainly do say good morning, america, right to the news. we are starting with the latest on ukraine and we continue to see heartbreaking scenes of families trying to flee the country. talk of a new cease-fire, but past attempts have failed. the people of ukraine are living through a cycle of fear and uncertainty. this morning, president zelenskyy came out with a new message, he addressed the proposal from poland to send fighter jets to ukraine that's been rejected by the pentagon.
7:03 am
meanwhile, the white house has delivered another blow to the russian economy with that ban on russian oil imports to the u.s. now, that effect is being felt all over russia. it's being felt here at home as well with already sky high gas prices expected, robin, to soar even more. >> and we do have team coverage this morning from the white house to ukraine. our senior foreign correspondent ian pannell there on the ground in kyiv starts us off. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, robin. we're inside one of the main hospitals inside kyiv. they are receiving the war wounded. so soldiers, yes, but also civilians, many of them with bullet wounds, others with shrapnel wounds, multiple traumas, and having to work around the clock doing shifts, the doctors aren't leaving here, to treat the increasing number of casualties. we have the six humanitarian corridors, temporary cease-fires to try to allow people to escape vianattempting tfl
7:04 am
their homes again am agreements. previous ones have repeatedly failed. well, that is what a russian cease-fire sounds like. we're on the outskirts of irpin. we've been hearing the sound of bombardments over the last hour as civilians try to get out, as ambulances try to go in and rescue people as they try and use the opportunity to get out of the town and to safety but still there are dangers, still there's bombardment. among those seeking refuge, some of the most vulnerable, the elderly who can't travel on their own. we spoke with 85-year-old nina who was forced to flee the bombing. she says, i can't believe it. since my childhood i thought the russians and ukrainians were fraternal people. how could this happen? a caregiver writing her information on her arm with a pen in case she gets lost during the evacuation. amid the talk of cease-fires the attacks go on. struck overnight destroying homes and the emergency services
7:05 am
saying five people were killed including three babies born last year. one area where a humanitarian corridors was established under a temporary cease-fire is sumy. near the russian border. 5,000 civilians successfully evacuated by bus on tuesday. but their city has been devastated. in this video circulating online the sound of tank fire could be heard in the distance as civilians prepare to leave. the ukrainian military releasing this footage they claim shows a column of destroyed russian tanks and other vehicles in the sumy region. ukrainian troops seen with captured ammunition. the conditions for many are now dire. the southern city of mariupol has been under siege for days cut off without power and heating and now running low on supplies. an attempt to get people out from there failed after ukraine said russian mortars struck an evacuation route. for those trying to flee the journey to safety has been long and difficult and as matt gutman saw, it isn't over yet.
7:06 am
>> this is the prop room at the resurrection theater, it's now filled with donations. on this side you can see stuffed animals, books over there. a family here eating breakfast and in here i want you to see something, this is the main theater hall where 27 people sleep at night. now the mayor of lviv says that every institution in this city is now filled with refugees. there are 200,000 of them in the city. he says they can't take any more. they need outside help. >> reporter: in another blow to the russian economy president biden now banning imports of russian oil into the united states. >> america has rallied to support the ukrainian people and made it clear we will not be part of subsidizing putin's war. >> reporter: this comes as a senior defense official says, despite fierce resistance the russian invasion force is still 95% intact and the cia director warning russia could soon escalate its attacks even further. >> putin is angry and frustrated
7:07 am
right now. he's likely to double down and try to grind down the ukrainian military with no regard for civilian casualties. >> reporter: ukraine asked for fighter jets to help stop the onslaught but the confusion among nato allies after poland said its turnover of mig jets to america to give to the ukraine military. the pentagon dismissing the proposal as untenable adding, it's simply not clear to us that there is a substantive rationale for it. ukrainian president zelenskyy appealing directly to russian soldiers this morning to leave saying we won't surrender. zelenskyy rallying not just his own nation, but others too. addressing the british parliament, borrowing from the rousing words of its wartime leader winston churchill. [ speaking foreign language ] saying, "we will fight in the forests, the fields, the shores and in the streets." it was an unprecedented moment receiving a rousing standing ovation.
7:08 am
well, we're hearing that there's been a mass casualty event possibly one of those humanitarian corridors has been hit. we're seeing patients coming through but we should kill the broadcast. we don't want to show anything graphic but that's what life is like in kyiv right now. >> ian, thanks very much. let's bring in martha raddatz for more. let's start with this polish proposal to send planes to ukraine, already scrapped by the pentagon, and a putin spokesperson saying it's dangerous. >> reporter: exactly, george. i'm told the military gain is minimal and the risk not only to the pilots but the risk of escalation with putin is enormous. the reaction from the russians if the poles provided those aircraft could be to attack that country, try to take out those migs and then you have an article v situation and you are at war with russia. the ukrainians already have 50 or so warplanes, they're only flying two sorties a day.
7:09 am
they weren't bombing anyone so the effectiveness has not been tested so u.s. officials do not believe it is worth the serious problem of escalation, that's the same with the no-fly zone. they see it literally being at war with russia. >> article v is that commitment to defend a nato ally, poland. we saw the head of the cia warn this could get even more brutal. >> reporter: it certainly could. it could take about a week to ten days to take kyiv, then four to six weeks and it would be bloody. russia has already had 3,000 to 4,000 dead and 10,000 to 15,000 wounded and ukrainians of course have as well. george. >> martha raddatz, thanks very much. t.j. to that russian oil ban now. it's going to have a direct impact on the already skyrocketing gas prices right here at home. our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis with more on pth. rebecca, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. yeah, and this is a significant financial weapon the u.s. can use against russia but it does come with a price for u.s. consumers and you see it here at the pump.
7:10 am
gas prices this morning, a new fresh record high, $4.27 a gallon nationwide in just the last week. in this escalation, you have seen gas prices spike by their biggest amount on record, 63 cents higher in just one week nationwide and many places seeing even bigger jumps than that with russia, the world's -- one of the world's top energy producers we got last year 3% of our oil from russia. if this continues this escalation continues, t.j., gas buddy estimates we could be paying 25 to 50 cents more for gas in the coming days and weeks. >> in the meantime, a lot of american companies, iconic american brands are stopping business in russia for the time being. >> reporter: russia is being isolated both financially and now businesses are pulling out. you see mcdonald's saying they are temporarily suspending, shutting down 850 of their restaurants there. starbucks, pepsico and coca-cola also among the companies that have said they are pulling out sales of some of their products. t.j.
7:11 am
>> rebecca, thank you as always. robin. now reaction from the kremlin about all this and a look at the mood inside russia. as the war in ukraine escalates. eva pilgrim is live in london with the latest. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, robin. yeah, putin firing back on this oil ban announcing that russia will now ban the export of certain commodities and raw materials although he didn't say what and what countries would be affected. this as a new poll finding only 58% of russians support the military conflict in ukraine. that's not a good starting point for putin and much lower than approval for his prior actions in chechnya and crimea. now support is especially low among young adults. this poll was conducted by independent survey research organizations in russia which we have vetted. they've asked not to be identified given the political situation there. and the kremlin massively censuring the information available as dissent grows, and the cia director testifying
7:12 am
tuesday they think 13,000 to 14,000 russian citizens have been arrested protesting the invasion. these sanctions from the west hitting everyday russians in a big way. their debit and credit cards don't work. company after company is shutting up shop and many of the luxuries that they have grown used to over the years are pretty much vanishing overnight, robin. >> eva, we also know you have an update on wnba star brittney griner who was detained in russia on drug charges, eva. >> reporter: that's right, robin. russian state tv airing the first photo of brittney griner, a booking photo reporting that she has been in custody for about three weeks. now griner was detained at the airport as she was entering the country accused of having vape cartridges that contain hash oil. now we don't know a whole lot about her condition right now, but we do know her agent and her team are desperately trying to get her home, robin. >> and many others. all right, eva, thank you.
7:13 am
we're going to turn now to that breaking news overnight. two americans held in venezuela have been released following talks with the biden administration as the white house considers lifting oil sanctions in venezuela. senior white house correspondent mary bruce has the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. yeah, this could be a sign of a real shift in the relationship between the u.s. and venezuela. overnight, the authoritarian government there releasing two americans held prisoner just days after we know about this rare meeting between president maduro and top u.s. officials who are now considering lifting oil sanctions on venezuela. the released men are gustavo cardenas, an oil executive held for five years, and alberto fernandez, a tourist arrested last year. president biden saying these men are fathers who lost precious time with their children and everyone they love and biden thanking the diplomatic teams who helped secure their release, george. >> mary, the timing of this, of course, is notable. the u.s. could use venezuelan oil to replace russian oil. >> reporter: yeah, and the white house insists that the release of these prisoners are not at all related to these conversations about possibly
7:14 am
easing oil sanctions on venezuela, but as you know, this is very interesting timing. look, we know they are having these discussions, venezuela has huge oil reserves and there is a new urgency to this now that president biden announced he is banning the import of russian oil and gas here in the u.s. and is looking to fill this void but, of course, this is not without controversy. maduro, we know, has been accused of massive human rights violations, george. >> yes, he has. thanks very much. now to that high-stakes legislation in florida headed for the governor's desk. critics calling it the "don't say gay" bill and victor oquendo has what it could mean for teachers and students. [ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: this morning, the parental rights and education bill which has gained national attention sparking statewide protests and student walkouts heading to the desk of governor ron desantis who is expected to sign it into law. >> we're going to make sure that parents are able to send their kid to kindergarten without having some of this stuff injected into their school curriculum.
7:15 am
>> reporter: the legislation dubbed the don't say gay bill by critics bans lessons in sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through the third grade and any instruction that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards. the bill which does not define what is age appropriate would allow parents to sue school districts or teachers if they believe the policy has been violated. supporters argue the bill is not about targeting particular students but empowering parents. >> all it does is state what is age -- talks about what is appropriate in the classroom to teach. >> reporter: lgbtq plus community advocates warn this will prevent teachers and schools from helping the 52% of lbtq youth enrolled in middle or high school who reported being bullied or 42% who seriously considered
7:16 am
suicide. >> you have bills like in that is now preventing teachers from being able to express and share and being able to console students who might bring these type of issues to school. >> reporter: and governor desantis who has signaled support for the bill now has seven days to sign it. guys. >> all right, victor, thank you. t.j. we're going to turn now to what could be league-altering moves in the nfl. aaron rodgers is staying in green bay for what could be a record-setting deal. espn is reporting that superstar quarterback for the seattle seahawks russell wilson is being traded to the denver broncos. that could be one of the biggest deals ever as well and will reeve keeping an eye on this. hard to keep up on espn yesterday with all the breaking news. >> reporter: that all went down in a matter of hours. aaron rodgers is staying in green bay as reports emerged and started out as the biggest nfl news of the day. rodgers has been playing some of the best football of his career, and despite a drama-filled
7:17 am
season that included reports he wanted out of green bay and prolonged vaccination status controversy he wound up winning his fourth mvp award so now aaron rodgers is what he was, the well-paid quarterback of the green bay packers. just how well paid? that's not exactly clear but hi yesterdaup h, yel bengitthe packs oumeigng a inaccuratre e contract i signed. i'm very excited to be back. >> as we said this lasted 15 minutes breaking news on espn. they switched to another huge story. >> yeah, ultimately not even close to the biggest news of the day because shortly after rodgers announced he wasn't going anywhere sources told espn the seattle seahawks have agreed to trade their star quarterback, nine-time pro bowler, super bowl champion russell wilson, he's going to the denver broncos, that's one of the biggest trades in nfl history. >> it was a big day for the league yesterday. >> watching espn all day long. >> get back to work, t.j., come on, man.
7:18 am
>> he can multitask. >> thank you, will. sherri papini is out on bond. we have new details about her arrest and exclusive interview with the lead investigator. and one of the biggest deep sea mysteries solved. butr first, let's go to ginger. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, robin. record highs to snow here in the northeast waking up winado fr m tallahase thisni. we got winter weather advisories because we have both rain and snow moving in. mostly rain at the coast. some of the higher elevations and some cities will see mixing snow with temperatures tumbling. we're really looking at a 40-degree drop in the last 36 hours is the big picture. a check a little closer to home.

7:33 am
papini's defense releasing her on $120,000 bond on the conditions that she surrender her passport, agree not to leave parts of california, hand over any firearms, avoid consuming drugs and alcohol, and participate in a psychiatric program. prosecutors had argued the 39-year-old is a flight risk who had already proven she could run away and successfully hide from law enforcement as she did when she disappeared for three weeks in 2016. citing how she allegedly branded and starved herself as evidence to the extreme lengths she would go to. in court prosecutors alleging papini attempted to flee when fbi agents surprised her outside her children's piano lesson to arrest her, but her defense claims she was simply trying to protect her children from what she perceived as danger. papini's disappearance in 2016 sparking a nationwide manhunt. shasta county's brian jackson was on the case from day one. now telling abc news exclusively about the moment he learned she reappeared thanksgiving day. >> it was close to around 4:00 in the morning.
7:34 am
i got a phone call. a akuprying toige out if was dre itasf surreal. whyou mean we unher?in. what? how? is she alive? >> reporter: found bound, branded and bruised her hair cut short, papini telling authorities she was abducted by two hispanic women. >> she was bound with restraints but was able to summon from a passing -- help from a passing motorist. >> reporter: jackson says the leads she gave him were not helping to solve the case. >> as investigators we want answers. we want -- we need something tangible to hold on to. when you don't have that or you're dancing around some answers that may be there, it can get frustrating. >> reporter: now, authorities allege it was all a charade and they say their more than five-year investigation uncovering evidence that she was staying within an ex-boyfriend more than 600 miles from her home and harmed herself to support her false statements. >> getting to this day or this -- the day last week when sherri papini was arrested has been a long wait. i made a commitment and i told
7:35 am
several people that i did not want this to be a cold case when i retire someday. that's the level of commitment that i was focused on. >> reporter: and sherri papini was seen arriving at her sister's house in chico late last night. it's unclear when or if she will return home to her husband and two kids in redding. a hearing has been set for two weeks from now.ury indicts r t ani s surprid s her osuts made an argument that she was a flight risk based on some of the things that kaylee laid out including how she was arrested and what they say what seemed like an effort to leave but in the end i wasn't surprised that bail was granted because of these charges. >> so the ex-boyfriend appears to be a witness. does that increase the pressure on papini to strike a deal? >> absolutely.
7:36 am
and, you know, i found it interesting, george, the statement from the papini family representative and it was interesting to me what they didn't say, they didn't say she didn't do this. this is mad. this is crazy. they complained about the circumstances surround her arrest. they said that they were looking for clarification on some of the charges. those are the kinds of indications or almost hints that are offered by a defense team or representative, sometimes about the possibility that you could see her pursue a deal. now, remember, prosecutors are going to have to offer her a deal to make that happen but i would think that in a case like this, it could be very, very likely. >> and of course, they have additional leverage with the possibility of additional charges against others or additional charges against her. >> right, and i'm particularly interested in the poss t u hao inabaywhat whehaes bain,
7:37 am
because she wasn't a fugitive at the time she was staying with him. they would have to show that he was somehow complicit in a crime, not just hanging out with her when she was lying about it. so those are the sorts of legal questions that are going to have to pursue when thinking about if anyone else would be charged in this case. >> i know you've been following this case for a long time. is it unusual to see an arrest so long after the fact? >> i was shocked. i mean, i'll admit, george, we talked about this case a lot in 2016 and 2018. i kind of had forgotten about it and i didn't think there was going to be an arrest. the fact they went back to her in 2020 to get her to restate again her claim that she was kidnapped and that's the false statement charge that they're using here was really surprising and, again, this is one of those cases where at first i think a lot of people thought, oh, she was a victim and then started
7:38 am
having questions, and then questioned themselves again, and now, at least according to the authorities it's all starting to make sense, but i certainly was surprised this much later to see this arrest. >> i'm not sure it will ever make complete sense but i take your point. dan abrams, thanks very much. robin. coming up, that incredible discovery in the waters of antarctica. amy is here with that. ahth is onhe most rr:eybin. famous shipwrecks ever. right up with the "titanic." an exclusive look at what was discovered after more than 100 years. s. different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic

we're back with one of the biggest deep sea mysteries of our time finally solved. the wreckage of "endurance" has been found, and amy is here with an exclusive look from our good friends at nat geo. >> that's right, robin. good morning to you. it's been more than a hundred years since "endurance" went down in the icy waters of antarctica. its final resting place was thought to be unreachable until now. >> reporter: this morning, one of the greatest mysteries of antarctica solved deep below the ice. more than 100 years after sinking, the ship, the "endurance" is finally found. in 1915, an expedition led by sir earnest shackleton was making its way towards the south pole when he and more than two dozen crew members became trapped by sea ice. the explorers staying on board for as long as possible but after ten months the ice crushing the sinking ship.
7:43 am
these images taken by the crew as the ship was crushed were brought back and played in theaters. what happened next would become one of the greatest survival stories in history, the crew up against the brutal polar winter living on ice drifts and eventually making their way to elephant island before being rescued. >> it lies 3,000 meters in one of the most unexplored bits of ocean bed on planet earth. the sea is covered usually with a shield of sea ice. >> reporter: for years explorers have searched for the wreck and now we're getting a look at a vessel that hasn't seen daylight in generations. "national geographic" giving us this exclusive clip of one of the ship's masts, the cold temperatures preserving much of the structure including that gold name. >> the idea that we can see the lettering of "endurance," that gold lettering on the seabed, untarnished, after over 100 years lying down there. i never believed we'd get that. >> reporter: its discovery made
7:44 am
impossible until now because of the weddell sea's harsh waters and thick ice, something i saw firsthand when i traveled to the same area last year wreck's namesake ship. >> walking on the frozen ocean. >> reporter: the sea ice here, the type of ice the "endurance" became trapped in stretches beyond the horizon. "endurance 22" navigated this hostile environment, finally locating the wreck nearly 10,000 feet below the surface. historian dan snow on board for the discovery. >> we found one coherent wreck that looked so like the images just before it sank. it is a dream come true. >> reporter: it is a truly incredible discovery. unfortunately, it was made a little easier by climate change. the team has been filming a documentary chronicling the expedition to air later this year as part of a national geographic explorer's series and that shifting sea ice actually allowed us to get to places when we were down there that we had

>> thank you very much. >> you are playing jerry buss. tell us what that's been like. >> it's been an amazing odyssey. you know, we started before the pandemic actually so the show is finally coming out but, man, what an incredible american jerry buss was to go from depression era wyoming with a single mom to like the king of l.a. and changing the whole world of entertainment by way of sports like it was an honor, i have to say and really exciting, like the beats of this story, like everyone knows what happened maybe with the technical -- the wins and losses of that team that year but when you know what was happening behind the scenes it's stunning, you know, like the fact that he pulled it off is literally a miracle. >> you never got to meet buss but i know you met jeanie buss his daughter, now the president of the lakers. how did that go? >> it went unexpectedly really well. i imagine it was kind of awkward
8:35 am
for her to have someone playing her dad, you know, in this sort of semi-fictional way because he was a pretty private guy but she was really gracious and came up to me, she was like i can't really speak to like our involvement with the project because the lakers organization is not involved with the project officially, you know, but she said i want you to know that my dad knew who you were and he was a big fan of mr. cellophane in "chicago," the musical. he loved musicals and specifically talked to me about you and said he really liked how you could make him laugh or cry, the mark of a great actor. i literally started to cry talking to her. i was like -- i thought maybe we would be kicked out of the stadium. >> you never know. >> but it like -- yeah, she was amazingly gracious and it was kind of surreal looking into her eyes after doing all these scenes playing with hadley robinson playing her in the show like looking at his real daughter, i was like, wait a minute, it's like i was having this kind of meta experience.

8:37 am
positive thinking and, you know, all the things that jerry felt like an outsider when he came to l.a. like most people do in this fancy place. i came from chicago so it was a similar story, you know, even though he achieved things that i don't know if i'm going to be able to achieve world-changing, you know, things by the time i die but i felt enough in common with him. >> you only had seven days so let's see how the work came out with only seven days of prep. we do have a clip we want to share. >> from here on out, we are playing to win every game. that's going to cost me some money and that's my business, but the investment that i need from each and every one of you is everything else. >> that look is pretty good. >> thank you. >> that look is pretty good.

[ laughter ] in 1979 they had a pretty good thing going, drinking at the office and all the socializing that was going on in l.a. at the time at the discos and stuff but i mean besides all that jerry had this kind of wild reputation as someone who liked to enjoy his life but behind the scenes that was a really determined guy, incredibly inspiring. >> we want to go behind the scenes when you travel to ireland coming up because you'll be the guest of honor for st. patrick's day? exactly. this is a big scoop for you guys.
