billionaire russian oligarch. foreign correspondent james longman is in kyiv with the latest for us. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, robin. we're hearing that artillery shelling on the outskirts of the city even as those in kyiv try to fortify their home and this is as you say these negotiations are ongoing and controversially roman abramovich, that russian oligarch involved in those negotiations and there are reports now that both he and two ukrainian negotiators were poisoned at peace talks earlier this month. this morning, russian oligarch roman abramovich spotted at those peace talks in istanbul following reports that he and two ukrainian peacemakers may have been poisoned as they tried to help broker talks between russia and ukraine. "the wall street journal" reporting that abramovich and peace negotiators suffered symptoms of poisoning after meeting in kyiv earlier this month. abramovich, the owner of the chelsea soccer team, was sanctioned by the uk for what they called his close relationship with vladimir putin
7:07 am
in the past, something he denies. but his link to putin and the increasing pressure on a growing number of oligarchs raises questions about why he would say he was targeted. the chief negotiator told abc news called it an information it an information game game and that all members of the negotiations are working as usual. putin's dark reputation for assassinating opponents perhaps a convenient context for a russian oligarch looking for new allies. >> vladimir putin has this deep sense of betrayal and what we don't know, is it possible that roman abramovich has sort of undercut the kremlin and, therefore, putin wants to assassinate him and murder him? >> reporter: the investigatory media outlet says the alleged victims experienced symptoms consistent with poisoning with chemical weapons including eye and skin inflammation, including piercing pain in the eyes. "the wall street journal" reported they had peeling skin on their faces and hands and this temporary pain may have been intended as a warning. the kremlin denied poisoning
7:08 am
multiple opponents like alexei navalny who fell ill on a flight in 2020. navalny seen here being transported, he was attacked with the same russian nerve agent used in the poisonings in the past. victor yushchenko also a victim of poisoning leaving his face disfigured. >> that's something the kremlin has done for decades and decades and so this is the kind of thing that we could expect from the kremlin but it's just not clear to us why they would do it in this case. >> reporter: now, danger here in kyiv but danger around that negotiation table. the threat of poisonings hanging over proceedings there. the ukrainian foreign minister has now told the ukrainian delegation to not eat or drink anything or to touch any surfaces. michael? >> all right, thank you so much, james. now to the fight against covid. some americans could find out today whether they'll be eligible to receive a second booster shot. eva pilgrim joins us now with the timing of when this fourth shot could become available.
7:09 am
good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, michael. we are expecting the fda to authorize an additional booster shot for americans 50 and older as soon as today. so when could we see those fourth shots going into arms? it could be pretty quickly. the cdc though first has to sign off on this which we are expecting will happen within hours. we're told they will stop short of formally recommending it, instead leaving it up to people to make their own decisions based on health, risk and age. once the cdc director signs off the shots are technically available, but what we've seen previously is it usually takes a few days for states and pharmacies to get up to speed to give them out. now, health officials are monitoring if these boosters will be needed for everyone else. dr. fauci saying, he wouldn't be surprised if everyone needs something similar to what we see every year with the flu shot. michael? >> and, eva, the cdc is launching an online quarantine tool. tell us about that. >> reporter: yeah, michael, it's
7:10 am
a calculator of sorts where you put in information about your covid exposure, your vaccination status, when you were exposed and it tells you how long you need to quarantine and isolate and also anything else that you can do to stop the spread of covid. it is available now on the cdc's website. michael? >> all right, eva pilgrim, thank you. george? we're going to go to washington now and the latest on the congressional investigation into the january 6th insurrection. as it enters a critical phase a federal judge concluded it's likely former president trump committed crimes by trying to block the congressional count of electoral votes on january 6th. rachel scott is on capitol hill with the story. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning, and those words, the most definitive yet from a federal judge saying that it's more likely than not that donald trump broke the law. the ruling does mark a breakthrough for the january 6th select committee now backing contempt charges for two aides of the former president. overnight, the house committee investigating the january 6th insurrection making the case
7:11 am
against two former trump aides. [ crowd chanting ] recommending peter navarro and dan scavino be held in contempt of congress for refusing to cooperate after claiming executive privilege. >> they potentially played a part in an attack on american democracy, but they can't ignore our investigation because they worked for the government at the time. that's their argument. they're not fooling anybody. >> reporter: the unanimous decision now sets the stage for the full house to vote on whether to refer both aides to the justice department for prosecution. >> without enforcement of its lawful process congress ceases to be a co-equal branch of government. >> reporter: it comes as lawmakers say they are reaching a critical phase of the incident. -- investigation. >> we've now taken the testimony of hundreds of witnesses with knowledge of the events of january 6th. >> reporter: a california judge siding with the committee
7:12 am
forcing attorney john eastman to turn over 100 documents he has been withholding. in the most decisive ruling yet, judge david carter declaring, it is more likely than not that president trump broke the law on january 6th, calling the former president's attempt to stop the certification of the election a coup in search of a legal theory adding, the illegality of the plan was obvious. and there is growing pressure this morning on the department of justice to act. members of the committee calling out the attorney general who has not yet announced whether or not he will pursue criminal charges against mark meadows, trump's former chief of staff, after he was held in contempt of congress. one member saying, it's time for the department of justice to do its job. robin? >> rachel, thank you for your reporting. now to spring feeling a lot like winter in parts of the country. an arctic blast sending windchills as low as the single digits in some areas. our producer sent ginger outside here in times square. it's the producers. we would want you inside with us, ginger. good morning. >> thank you. everybody listening? robin roberts wants me inside, thank you, robin.

yeah, it's cold, really cold. low 20s, feels like the teens out here and now you know because you saw my hair blowing but we also had with all of this cold which we did see records broken or tied for maximum highs meaning the coldest maximum highs for the day but also this wreck. interstate 81, it was with one of those snow squalls, minersville, pennsylvania, here, 50 vehicles involved. three people were killed. many more injured and now my job is to tell you about the next big threat and dangerous weather and that comes for the south. so for tonight, anybody from kansas city and iowa, down through oklahoma and texas, i want you on alert for damaging winds primarily with some embedded tornadoes possible. by tomorrow -- remember i was just in mississippi last week. we had that new orleans tornado. the same region getting hit again. that is for wednesday afternoon, robin, we'll be all over this. i'm headed down, almost will have to get a second place in jackson, mississippi. >> you'll be heading out again. all right, thank you so much, ginger. michael?
7:14 am
now to the nfl announcing new rules to guarantee more opportunities for minorities and women. trevor ault is outside nfl headquarters in new york city. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. these are really big changes from the nfl as the league has been facing some increasing pressure and criticism that their minority initiatives simply have not been doing enough. so beginning this upcoming season all 32 teams will be required to hire a minority or a woman in a prominent offensive coaching position. the league says the goal is to create more highly sought-after minority head coaching candidates and ultimately more minority head coaches which a lot of people say is the problem right now. this is a substantial change to what's known as the rooney rule, which until now has only required teams to interview a minority candidate before hiring a new head coach, and this is also the first time that women have been included in these rules. now, these changes are happening as the leaue is facing a lawsuit from former miami dolphins coach brian flores alleging discrimination in the league's hiring practices though
7:15 am
the league has denied those allegations. michael? >> all right, we hope this helps. thank you so much, trevor. we're going to go now to florida, where governor ron desantis signed the controversial don't say gay bill that restricts classroom instruction in elementary schools. victor oquendo is in coral gables with the latest. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, george. as expected governor ron desantis signed that bill into law calling it a win for parents because pponents were, quote, injecting woke ideology into section grade classrooms. it's dubbed the don't say gay bill by critics but officially named the parental rights in education law and it now bans classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in grades k through 3 and any instruction that is not age or developmentally appropriate. it's now up to the state to define those standards. the law also allowing parents to sue school districts that violate these policies and those who support it say it will empower parents in the classroom but for those who are opposed,
7:16 am
many of whom protested for weeks, they argue it will further marginalize lgbtq plus families and prevent students from getting help who are in crisis. this law is expected to go into effect july 1st, in time for the next school year. guys? >> all right, victor. now to march madness, thrilling night. uconn, louisville both clinching those final two spots in the women's final four. it is the 14th consecutive final four for the powerhouse huskies after surviving a double overtime thriller. janai norman, you got those highlights for us. >> i do, double overtime. this is the kind of excitement that basketball fans hope for come march and the final four match-ups for both tournaments are set including a showdown between the ultimate college basketball rivals. overnight, march madness heating up. louisville and uconn clinching the last two spots in the women's final four.

7:18 am
men, the unc tar heels facing a daunting task ending the coaching career of duke legend coach k. who is currently three wins away from retiring as a six-time national champion. but back to the women, christyn williams on uconn, she said after the game, you know what, during overtime she was just thinking, we have paige bueckers, they don't. what a difference that makes. >> she is a differencemaker. you're right about that. thank you, janai. a lot more coming up here on "gma," including will smith's apology to chris rock as the academy says it's reviewing the incident. new details you didn't see from behind the scenes. a final good-bye to prince philip. why prince harry and meghan markle are not taking part in the royal tribute. but first, let's go back to ginger. >> michael, it's that time of year you dream about putting away the winter coat. don't do it, not today. by the end of this week, though, things are warming up from the feels like in the teens up into the 60s here in new york. pittsburgh will touch on 70. that's the big picture. let's get a check now a little closer to home.

from the capital of kyiv. the fda could authorize a second booster shot for people over the age of 50 as soon as today. unlike past recommendations the fda is only going to recommend people could get the fourth shot and not say people should get it. the cdc would have to sign off before people can get the booster. take a look at this. firefighters in los angeles rescued a dog which got trapped in the strong currents of the los angeles river. the dog's owner refused to take the rescue ring because she wanted to hold on to her dog. one firefighter rescued the woman but the dog was still stuck in the water. then a good samaritan jumped in and tried to help the dog also but was unsuccessful. finally after two hours rescue crews saved the frightened pet. his name is scooby. scooby is all right.

7:33 am
will smith just smacked the [ bleep ] out of me. >> reporter: the actor posted to instagram, my behavior at last night's academy awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. i would like to publicly apologize to you, chris. i was out of line and i was wrong. i'm embarrassed. my actions were not indicative of the man i want to be. the slap followed this joke rock made about smith's wife jada pinkett smith who has been vocal about her battle with alopecia. >> jada, love you. g.i. jane two, can't wait to see it. >> reporter: smith wrote, a joke about jada's medical condition was too much to bear, and i reacted emotionally. >> keep my wife's name out your [ bleep ] mouth. >> i'm going to. okay. >> reporter: this apology comes as the academy leadership reportedly called an emergency meeting to address it saying, it condemns the actions of
7:34 am
mr. smith and is now undergoing a formal review to explore further actions and consequences in accordance with our bylaws, standards of conduct and california law. >> there are going to be consequences, and so could it be that his membership is suspended or that he's even expelled from the academy. those are both very real possibilities. there's only so much that the academy can do. >> reporter: criminal charges though aren't expected. the lapd tells abc news their involvement has definitely ended unless rock decides to file a police report. photographers inside the theater commercial break gesturing towards smith who can be seen hand in hand with jada and being comforted by his "king richard" co-star aunjanue ellis. actor denzel washington standing between smith and rock. washington, tyler perry and bradley cooper all photographed speaking with smith during the commercials. "the new york times" reports there were serious discussions about removing mr. smith from the theater. rock hasn't spoken out publicly just yet, but he was all smiles at the oscars after party. the confrontation overshadowing
7:35 am
what should have been a career highlight for smith, and also a comeback of sorts for the oscars, 15 million viewers tuned in a year after covid forced a much more low key ceremony. the show's producer will packer tweeted, this was a very painful moment for me. ♪ now this is the story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down ♪ >> reporter: for many the incident is at odds with the public image of will smith as the fresh prince of bel-air. and one of the world's biggest superstars with a record $800 million consecutive block busters.el our phphia stationpvinn exclusive interview even she was surprised by her son's on-stage actions. >> he is a very even people person and that's the first time i've ever seen him go off, the first time in his lifetime. >> reporter: in november, smith
7:36 am
told me about shedding that persona in a recent memoir. >> what do you think the perception is of you now? is it really that perfect guy? >> no, you know what, certainly not. the perception to me is less important than maintaining authenticity and letting the chips fall where they may. >> it's not widely expected that the academy would revoke his oscar. this is not something that the academy has done before, taken back an oscar after awarding one to an actor. now, he did apologize to the williams family and also the family around the movie that took away he said from the beautiful moment and journey they had and, robin, he ended his statement by saying i am a e yoback here with us. we will bring in chief legal analyst dan abrams. yes, chris rock not pressing charges, but every time we see the video, i mean, millions and
7:37 am
millions around the world saw this assault. can police do anything even though chris rock is not pressing charges? > so theoretically they could. when you think about a criminal case, it's the people in the state of california versus the defendant. it's not chris rock versus the defendant so they could make a decision if they wanted to move forward. as a practical matter, it's not going to happen. when you talk about a misdemeanor assault and battery case, you really do need the complaining witness to come forward. you need there to be a police report. it is possible in a domestic violence situation where the police could say, you know what, this is too important, we're concerned about the victim, we're going to step in here. in this kind of case, it wouldn't happen without the complaining witness. but think about this outside of the realm of chris rock and will smith and you just say, comedian is at event, makes joke about someone in the audience, husband of someone in audience decides to walk 20 yards and whack the comedian. well, of course we'd be talking about the possibility of criminal charges. so will smith should feel very lucky today that chris rock has decided n't wa t d tnkhat perso
7:38 am
the comedy club after they slapped a comedian. >> absolutely, and that's the other question, right. how is he still allowed to stay there? that's not specifically a legal question. that's more sort of a practical question as to why did they allow him to stay there? i've heard from some people who were there who said they didn't actually know if it was a skit or not in the early moments after it happened. well, think about it. in the moment it happened, even watching it on television, i didn't know if it was real or not. you could understand people who are not sitting right there. >> but the academy knows. >> but -- >> yes, within 15 minutes. >> if he had gone back and not said anything but then he's yelling at chris rock so they still thought -- that's when you realize it's not a skit. >> absolutely. look, i have taken the position i can't believe that they didn't yank him out of there. >> what about the academy's investigation? they say they're going to have their own informal investigation. >> they've come a long way in 24 hours, right? the first statement was just
7:39 am
aout, you know, we don't condone violence of any kind and we just want people to enjoy the proceedings, right? and then within 24 hours they're suddenly shifting their statement to saying this is terrible. we're now conducting an investigation. there is no doubt that this is a violation of the academy rules. far?ave they really come that - what's to review? we all saw it. >> exactly. the question is what's the punishment and i would guess it's going to be a relative slap on the wrist. i don't expect they'll take away his oscar. we'll see. one thing they could do which would be an interesting way to kind of give him that slap on the wrist is say next year he's not going to be invited as you typically are when you win the best actor award to come back and present the award the following year. oh, okay. can you imagine if that's the extent of the punishment? look, the academy has to decide here, do we want to get serious about this? do we want to treat this the way we would if it was a man hitting a woman or if it was a liberal hitting a conservative or a conservative hitting a liberal or i just use that example to
7:40 am
say in a situation that could be more contentious. >> it's the right example to use because one of the things is exposing is the possibility of hypocrisy. take different actions in different circumstances. it's clear. >> this is the chance for the academy to decide are we going to get serious about this? >> we'll see. you're always invited back. >> thank you. >> thank you so much, dan abrams, thank you. appreciate you. >> only if i don't decide to hit you which would be a very bad decision on my part. >> you might not want to do that.

>> reporter: determined not to be victims the family cited a facebook group for customers of the moving company. it prompted a huge response. consumers just like fortin helping to locate missing property. a group member helped fortin finally locate her stuff in an abandoned truck in nebraska. that broker gold standard sent fortin a refund after "gma" contacted the company. they told us they are the largest broker in the country and have brokered over 14,000 interstate moving jobs. te amount of complaints received is proportionate to the size of the company compared to others in the industry. fortin says the moving company gold standard still owes her $800. the federal government revoked the authority of both companies to do interstate moves because they lack insurance. moving can be a very vulnerable time for people. what should a consumer do? >> we suggest you get three estimates so you can compare them. check their complaint history on our website, do not think that

8:18 am
their day-to-day lives. >> when we quit alcohol, we started to crave sugar. i got tired. really tired. i noticed that i was getting fuller when i ate. i always have trouble getting enough sleep at night. that didn't necessarily improve but when i did sleep it felt deeper. >> definitely better quality sleep. >> reporter: waving good-bye to alcohol hasn't been easy but offered a few tips for their subscribers. i've been drinking decaf coffeei wang reportey say t rameterso >>omimes wwod an ceiofoan occa knew was c wouldn't get to th pnt a want to have a champagne toast or something and feel like we had failed. i think just laying out all the expectations ahead of time is really helpful for anything like this.
8:19 am
>> reporter: so, again, they are five months in so far and in addition to decaf coffee, juice and nonalcoholic beer substitutes there's also a very hearty mocktail scene at many restaurants and bars so you can give up alcohol without feeling like you're giving up socializing. >> all right, thank you for that. we're joined by dr. jennifer ashton to answer all our questions about the benefits of going sober. >> yep. >> like this. and, doc, we were talking about this. not on purpose, but i heard them say better sleep which sounds like something good for all of us, but who would gain the most from giving this a try? >> well, i think first of all the intention is really important and it's nice if you say i'm going to go a week, i'm going to go a month, i'm going to go a year, but who can gain from this? pretty much anyone. again, we're talking about a real spectrum here in terms of alcohol use. this is a low risk/potentially high benefits type of situation and you can see things like a reduction in inflammation in
8:20 am
your liver, which we know is a major metabolizing force of alcohol, better mental control over eating and drinking. and definitely improved cardiac function. these things are subtle. some of them you might not be aware of but they absolutely are occurring. and as we saw in the piece and as you've written in your book, that china and craig, they experienced physical changes. so what are those? >> those are so interesting, michael, and if you look at yourself like a little bit of a mini science experiment, some of these things you'll see or notice right away. some of these things you'll feel. some of these things you may not see or feel but they are occurring and we're talking about things like a reduction in blood pressure of a couple of points and the top end potentially, the bottom number definitely more energy. definitely an improved night sleep. alcohol is a huge sleep disrupter and more hydrated skin. you might lose a few pounds, you might save a few dollars, so there's really a plethora of benefits. >> a lot of positives and for those moderate drinkers who just want to maybe make cut back or
8:21 am

8:49 am
i just really love from the book and so excited to share it. it highlights jalapeno as a main ingredient. we think of hot but, you know, when they're mixed up in this food processor with some cilantro and all these ingredients, it all goes in there. i'll let you do that and we're just going to blitz it up and it becomes this green sauce. you want to smell this? doesn't it smell spicy to you. >> yeah. you want all this in there? >> yeah, you do. the sugar is going to caramelize the chicken a little bit and, you know, so this marinade is really all purpose but, you know, everyone thinks of korean american food as the united states, but there was a huge wave of immigration to south america and so this marinade is inspired by my aunt julia who emigrated to uruguay in the '80s. you marinate the chicken like this and you just have to roast it in the oven on a sheet pan. super easy, super simple and this is a dressed salad. >> why the watermelon.
8:50 am

8:51 am
just going to start building actually. >> tell us about the book. >> you just need a couple of pieces of chicken. this watermelon which acts as a salsa component. i want you to take a bite because it's really surprisingly balanced. it's not that hot. >> and i'm scared of hot, so i'm going to be honest with that. >> no, you'll be great? i'm not scared of food. that's all i know. >> it's really good. >> you'll taste the jalapeno flavor front and center. for dessert, you want something for dessert? >> you brought a sweet. >> a black sesame rice cake. it happens to be gluten-free just because it's rice flour and it's incredible how it just like comes together like this. if you see the crumb on it, it's like super dense and chewy kind of like a korean rice cake. >> i guess we -- >> i know, we must try it. >> please do. please do.
