war crimes as scenes out of bucha, just miles from the capital, where hundreds were killed. >> james longman is there in the town of bucha, just outside of kyiv, for us this morning. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this is bucha. this gives you some of the idea of the devastation here. this whole road is just strewn with burnt out cars. when you get into town, it gets so much worse. we've been speaking to people h hunkered down in the buildings, hiding in their basements, as russians were living in their buildings. russia says the crimes that we've seen here were staged. they were not. we have seen them. and a warning to people at home, the images you're about to see are very distressing. this morning, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy addressing the u.n. security council in wake of the atrocities in bucha. as the ukraine forces take ground in ukraine, this town just miles northwest of kyiv, is a glimpse of what will define this war. along with the devastation and the countless signs of russian defeat, the bodies of civilians

are being discovered, executed apparently in the streets. this victim, a grocery bag just feet from where they fell. and this man, appearing to be out for a ride on his bicycle. random acts of cruelty hard to comprehend. authorities say more than 300 victims have been recovered so far. we meet nicolai alongside his neighbors finally getting help. he buried three of his friends killed by the russians. they were looking for anyone under 50, he says. i asked how old he is. he says 53. they said they lived underground while russian troops occupied their homes. these are tears of relief, i say? yes, he replies. some bodies found in mass graves. others suggest more than the actions of out of control soldiers, the targeted assassinations of russian oponents. one, two, three, four, five bodies in this tiny room in this basement, where ukrainians say people have been tortured.

russia has called these images fake, but these murders happened while the russians were here. this town is now a crime scene. more proof, "the new york times" analyzing this satellite picture march 19th, when russians were in control of the city. the image showing bodies on the street. zelenskyy traveling to the area on monday. this woman thanking him for, quote, staying with his people. the pain of this town all over the ukrainian leader's face. these are war crimes and will be recognized by the world as genocide, he said. the white house confirming russian forces are now retreating from kyiv to belarus and warning that russia is likely to deploy tens of thousands of troops to ukraine's east. urging residents to evacuate. even those who don't live on the front lines. in odesa, families forced to separate, a father torn from his children. they leave behind simple messages to their invaders. this banner says, russian soldier, stop. how will you look your children in the eye? now you can see here behind me, some of the aid is starting to arrive here at last. i want to show you, just up

here, you saw me speaking to nicolai, this is his building. he was hunkered down in the basement there while russians were living there. the great fear here is this is just the start, as ukraine takes more and more land back, more and more atrocities might be discovered. george? >> james, thank you. in the wake of the atrocities, president biden promised more sanctions, adding that putin should be charged with war crimes. >> he is a war criminal. this guy is brutal, and what is happening in bucha is outrageous. everyone has seen it. >> senior white house correspondent mary bruce joins us now. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. the president says that putin has to be held accountable and is promising these new sanctions this week to put more penalties on moscow. now what the sanctions will look like remains unclear. the u.s. has already imposed severe sanctions on russia, but they do have some options available. they could go after countries that continue to do business

with russia or impose new limits on russia's largest banks. they can try to target industries, like mining. the most extreme action here would be if european countries were to cut off russian oil and gas. the u.s. says they will rush additional military assistance to ukraine and work to expel russia from the u.n. human rights council. the white house also acknowledges that all these steps are going to take time to play out. sanctions are not going to change putin's actions overnight. and in the meantime, they are warning that more atrocities like the killings in bucha are likely to be discovered. george? >> mary bruce, thanks. let's bring in our analyst, retired general stephen ganyard. we heard reports from mary and james. the reports of atrocities are a grim sign of what's to come. >> yeah. george, i think the atrocities are part of a larger failure of russian leadership. the russians have failed at the basics in this war. they failed at logistics and maintenance but leadership is really the key here. leadership, strong discipline, training, these are the only ways to prevent atrocities on the battlefield. on the other hand, we should not really think that putin cares. it's been part of the russian

way of war, these atrocities, these war crimes, literally for generations. they use the war crimes to intimidate the populations of the countries they invade and putin unfortunately knows his people nor he will be held accountable. >> putin knows it's impossible to hold a sitting world leader accountable in a war crimes trial. >> yeah. george, i don't think we should expect any kind of nuremberg to come out of this war. the best we can expect is a trial at the hague, at the icc. it will take years. we may have some people that are indicted, but nobody will be put on trial because putin will protect his own people. there's a ray of hope that this idea of crowdsourcing intelligence, that tens of thousands of people who have contributed with social media and satellite imagery to put together the details and to document these atrocities. in the short term, i don't think that we're going to get justice, but the good news is that the ability to document the future and the history of where this

war has gone will ensure that putin can't erase what has happened. >> steve ganyard, thank you very much. robin? we're going to move on now to the storm threat that is targeting several southern states right now, making its way through the region, packing dangerous winds, large hail, possible tornadoes. sam champion is in for ginger and is tracking it all for us. good morning, sam. >> already, robin, this morning, we have very active weather. and all of these storms started last night, so let's get to it. they were going to start ithe texas area. this is joshua, just south of fort worth, where a radar tornado dropped down. a lot of tree damage. want to show you the lightning. as this rain started, there was a driving 60-mile-per-hour wind which forced a lot of people to take cover in storms like that. that was just the beginning. 4 inches of rain in mckinney, texas. three water rescues with that. this is when the storms were at their lightest. no, we watch them move out of texas. we have tornado watches through new orleans and jackson right now. i'm concerned later this

afternoon, as this line swings east, more than a little concerned, for what could be strong tornadoes, more than an ef-2. from biloxi to montgomery, all the way to macon and savannah, so we are watching that area. want to get you warned in on that line. this will move towards atlanta metro. we'll cover that in regular weather. this will be a very active line. >> that area is hit again and again and again. >> three weeks now we've been talking about the same zone with the strong to severe storms and all of the damage they're recovering from from all those tornadoes and the deaths last week. >> thank you, sam. we're going to turn to judge ketanji brown jackson. her confirmation as the first black woman on the supreme court all but assured by friday. rachel scott has the latest. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning. judge ketanji brown jackson is now on the brink of a historic confirmation. and this morning, we're learning she has earned more bipartisan support. a total of three republican senators say they will support judge jackson's confirmation to the supreme court.

the latest, senator lisa murkowski, joining senator susan collins, announcing that she will vote question. in a statement murkowski praised jackson's qualifications and the important perspective that she would bring to the court. she also called out the corrosive politics around this process, saying it is growing worse by the year. mitt romney announced his support in a statement saying, she meets more than the standard of excellence and integrity. now, with the help of those three republicans, democrats were able to advance judge jackson's nomination out of the senate judiciary committee, putting her on a clear path to being confirmed by the senate by the end of the week. george? >> congress also came to a bipartisan deal on covid relief. >> reporter: yeah, this is the money that the white house has been begging congress for now for weeks. it's a $10 billion package that includes money for vaccines, for testing and for treatments. it's far less than the $22 billion the administration asked for and it leaves out money that would help distribute vaccines abroad. next hurdle, existing funds are running out and so is time.

congrss is now scrambling to get this legislation passed before they leave on a two-week recess at the end of the week. george? >> rachel scott, thanks. michael? >> thank you, george. now, to the battle against covid and health officials tracking a new variant this morning. it's called xe, and hundreds of cases have been identified in the united kingdom. will reeve is live in london with more. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this xe variant is a hybrid of the omicron subvariants ba.1 and ba.2. it was first detected in the uk where there have been around 600 cases discovered there since january. the world health organization is monitoring the situation. they say it's possible that xe is slightly more transmissible than other previous variants, but that data is preliminary. the most important thing to know here, xe has not, at this time, been labeled a variant of concern or even a variant of interest. but as we move on here, the new variants emerge all the time in

covid-19. it's an evolving virus. so, for now, officials are just keeping an eye on this because most of them never gain a foothold. officials stressing that xe, the best defense against that and any other variant of covid-19 remains the vaccine. michael? >> thank you so much, will. robin? now, to elon musk's big move. the tesla ceo revealing he's now the largest shareholder of twitter, a company he has goodora.ed in the past. >> good morning, robin. less than 24 hours after revealing his giant stake in twitter, elon musk is shaking things up, as he seems to love to do, asking his more than 80 million followers about changes they might like to see on the platform. this morning, the world's richest man, elon musk, now the largest individual shareholder of twitter. the founder of tesla and spacex

disclosing monday a 9.2% stake in the social media giant. the news sending twitter stock soaring, up more than 27%. just momenting ago, appointed to serve on twitter's board of directors through 2024. >> musk doesn't put one toe in the water. he dives into the deep end of the pool. this will be the start of a soap opera between twitter and elon msk. >> reporter: billionaire musk has already earned himself a reputation as a prolific and sometimes controversial voice. some investors hanging on his every word. like buying up dogecoin that crashed after his appearance on "snl." >> it's a cryptocurrency you can trade for conventional money. >>t's a o, it's a hu >> reporter: he has also been a vocal critic of twitter, questioning if the platform adheres to free speech

principles, hinting at launching a competitor. and overnight, trolling his investment, asking his followers if it's time for an edit button. that poll has received 3 million votes. and the yeses have it, as in, yes, 73% of those who responded think twitter should have an edit button, but musk in his traditional fashion, spelled it yes, y-s-e. guys? >> can't make this up. >> nope. richest man in the world. >> thank you so much, rebecca. now, we're going to go to that thrilling end to march madness. kansas, staging a historic comeback to beat north carolina. kaylee hartung is live in new orleans where it all went down. kaylee, what an incredibly fun game to watch. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. we have seen some incredible basketball here in new orleans. and while it seemed like it might be difficult to match the energy of the epic battle between unc and duke in the final four, the title game delivered, as kansas pulls off

the greatest comeback in the history of the national championship. >> it's off! the game is over. and kansas completes the biggest championship comeback! >> reporter: down as many as 16 points, the jayhawks mounting an historic comeback to win their fourth national title. >> how do you describe the resiliency it took to make it happen? >> this is how our team is. we've been like this all season. >> reporter: delivering a stunning end to unc's tournament hot run. kansas, off to a hot start. >> just like against villanova. >> reporter: but the tar heels dominating the first half. >> from the wing. >> reporter: first-year head coach hubert davis fired up. >> we're competing out there. it's live action, tracy. it's live action out there. >> reporter: sending carolina into the half up 40-25. >> i envisioned this being on a podium. i didn't envision being down 15 at halftime and then we did it.

>> reporter: a veteran kansas team storming back, rallying an epic turnaround. >> oh, there you go. rattled the rim with that one. >> reporter: as carolina players fought to survive. in front of an electric crowd, nue game thrilling in the na >> how did that go somehow? >> reporter: this play putting the jayhawks on the brink of a championship. >> and he hits another one. >> reporter: leaving carolina with one last chance to send the game to overtime but falling short. >> i can't be more proud of the group that i just coached this year. >> reporter: the outstanding player of the ncaa tournament, ochai agbaji, sharing this emotional embrace with his family moments after being crowned a champion. 14 years after winning his first title, bill self, now the only kansas coach to bring home a second trophy to lawrence. >> this tournament is so crazy. in that best team doesn't always win. we all know that. i think we demonstrated in both the years that the toughest team did win. >> reporter: confidence, toughness and grit. those are the qualities that coach bill self said he has been

preaching to his players ever since they first stepped foot on campus. he says seeing the fight in his team, that makes this win feel off the charts. guys? >> they did fight. boy. >> they did. >> at halftime, i have to admit, we went to bed. >> same here. >> thought it may be over. woke up this morning like, what? what a comeback. a lot more coming up here on "gma," including the cargo ship "ever forward." it's been stuck in chesapeake bay for 25 days. now the company has a surprising plan to unload the cargo. we're live at the scene. and new developments about the murder of two indiana teens. what we're learning about a leaked police transcript. back to sam. >> strong storms can lead to strong tornadoes again today. anywhere from biloxi, to macon. that's our zone. that moves into birmingham, metro atlanta and knoxville. so we really want you guys to be careful about the strong winds, the heavy downpours of rain, but also the possibility

>> reporter: good morning, michael. 27-year-old kegan kline is facing 30 unrelated felony charges including child pornography and solicitation. he is not facing charges related to the delphi murders. but, according to this new transcript, police think he knows a lot more than he's saying. this morning, new details coming to light in the murder of two delphi, indiana, teens. 13-year-old abigail williams and libby jerman disappeared while hiking on this trail february 13th, 2017. police discovering their bodies the next day. >> down the hill. >> reporter: shortly after their deaths, authorities releasing this grainy image and audio captured by the girls of what the police say is their alleged murderer, ordering them to go down the hill. >> guys, down the hill. >> reporter: now, podcasters from the murder sheet are

releasing a 194-page transcript of an august interview between investigators and kegan anthony kline, who has been linked to a bogus social media profile, called anthony shots, that had been in contact with several underage girls, also libby german before her death. >> while investigating t ds th in uncovered an online profile named anthony shots. >> reporter: an official asking kline about his communication with liberty saying, you admitted you talked to her about a sleepover and you blocked her because she was annoying. kline responded to that, yeah. >> police are stressing that in the interview, was anthony shots account was communicating with libby right before she was killed, unfortunately. one of libby's friends, who actually reached out to the anthony_shots profile after the murder saying, this is terrible, have you heard what happened?

and the anthony_shots account basically replied, i was supposed to meet libby on that day and she never showed up. >> reporter: kline has been charged and pleaded not guilty to 30 felonies, including possession of child pornography and child exploitation, but is not facing charges in the delphi murders. the 27-year-old denies repeatedly during the interview that he killed the girls. but according to the tribute, he did delete the accounts and searched how long does dna last after murders. no one has been charged in those murders, and neither investigators nor kline were under oath in that interview. and it's important to note that law enforcement is allowed to exaggerate facts during questioning. kline is due back in court on april 14th. michael? >> thank you, amy. let's bring in abc news chief legal analyst dan abram. when you hear the charges against kegan kline outside of

this case, are you surprised he hasn't been named a suspect in this case? >> i think they want to be careful about who they name as a suspect. you don't name a suspect unless you're ready to make an arrest. i think it's clear they're not ready to make an arrest, but it is also clear that they feel very strongly that this phony account is linked to their deaths. and the question now is going to be, how many people had access to that account? as of now, based on the interview, it seems at the least, both kline and his father may have had access to that e asy avenn any charges >> cormeaning,heexthing they to do n isehey link that specific to, not just they also want something else. they need one more piece. and what's amazing here is you have video of him, of the suspect, of the suspect, whoever that is. you have audio from the girls' phones and now, you have this phony site.

yet, still, no charges in connection with this case, which i think is surprising, when you look at the pieces here. >> we also have the transcript. two questions on that, what do you make of the leak? secondly, explain how police are able to stretch the truth in questioning. >> it seems it was a mistake that it was put up online at all. initially, my thinking was, oh, someone must have leaked this in an effort to put pressure on the authorities. but it seems it was accidentally on the site and this person found it. they immediately took it off. we know that police are alowed in the context of questioning someone to try to get them to tell the truth by not always telling the truth about what they have. they may exaggerate the amount of information they know about a particular crime, et cetera. it happens on a regular basis, which is why they're saying be careful about exactly what's in this transcript. >>noe huge con ship that took a wrong turn and has been stuck in shallow waters

near maryland for three weeks. efforts to free the ship and its cargo of 5,000 shipping containers, all the attempts have failed. kenneth moton is live on the scene with more for us. good morning, kenneth. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is about as close as we can get to this massive ship, stuck in the chesapeake bay. take a look from the air. the u.s. coast guard has a 500-yard safety zone around the ship, as crews work to get it out of here. for three weeks, as you mentioned, crews have been using tugboats, even digging, but the ship won't budge. this morning, that massive cargo ship called "the ever forward," going anywhere but. trapped in the chesapeake bay for 24 days. the nearly 1100-foot ship carrying 5,000 containers ran aground near baltimore where it remains stuck, just outside one of the busiest ports in the world. how big of a deal is this? >> this is a big deal. it's 1,100 feet long.

it's the length of three football fields end-to-end. >> reporter: captain john martino showing us how the 130,000-ton ship missed its turn down the channel, landing in water 24-feet deep. it needs 42 feet of water to stay afloat. >> she was moving when she went aground. she dug a trench. >> reporter: the vessel's company, evergreen corporation, also owns the megaship that ran aground a year ago in the suez canal, blocking $10 million in goods for nearly a week. the ship's company is now invoking an old maritime law that requires those with cargo aboard to help pay the costs to free it. >> what that means is a lot more paperwork and everything has to be settled with the insurers until they actually release the cargo. >> reporter: meanwhile, onshore, the stuck vessel, somewhat of a tourist attraction.

>> it's definitely a lot bigger than we thought, than we anticipated. >> reporter: and this morning, welearned of a new strategy the u.s. coast guard says crews will start taking these containers off one by one, to help refloat this boat. those containers will be put on barges and taken back to baltimore. a tedious process that is expected to take at least two weeks. guys, i can tell you this incident is still under investigation. >> what a mess. what a mess. thanks for being there for us, kenneth. coming up next, our series "scam u." how fraudsters are impersonating banks.

back, now, with our series "scam u." more and more consumers are getting duped by fraudsters impersonating banks through the app zelle. rebecca jarvis is back with more on that. >> reporter: there's been complaints to the ftc about payment apps claiming $130 million in losses. scammers are using phone calls and text messages, posing like legitimate banks like bank of america, chase and wells fargo. and now, consumer advocates are calling for action. >> it was devastating. >> reporter: special education teacher kylie watson worked for months to save for her maternity leave. then, the pennsylvania mom received these concerning texts claiming to be from wells fargo. >> they asked me if i had authorized $3,500.

>> reporter: watson says she only answered the follow-up phone calls after searching online and finding the number calling her seemed to be from wells fargo. >> he wanted me to login to my wells fargo banking app. click on zelle, and then i saw two transactions and the money was gone. i didn't authorize anything. >> reporter: zelle is a mobile payment transfer service embedded in your banking app that allows you to send money to people directly between bank accounts. watson's claim for a refund was denied. >> $3,500, that's for our mortgage, that's for groceries. >> reporter: abc stations across the country reporting on customers saying they've lost thousands through their zelle accounts, from fake bank texts and wells fargo. >> it's scary. >> reporter: cynthia marin telling san francisco's 7 on your side, she lost $1,700. >> the money is gone. >> reporter: this wells fargo

customer telling charlotte, north carolina's, action 9 team, she lost $3,500. >> that's my savings. >> reporter: federal regulation e. was put in place to protect consumers using electronic fund transfer services like zelle from fraud, including unauthorized payments. >> one of the reasons that zelle is being abused by scammers is that they are taking advantage of a loophole in reg e. of what is an authorized payment and unauthorized payment. >> reporter: and since it appears that these fraudulent transactions were authorized by consumers, the banks are not liable. >> the fraudster can convince you to send the money willingly. even if it's through fraudulent means, you're not protected. that transaction is considered authorized under current federal regulations. >> reporter: the national consumers league says the regulation needs to change. >> we think it's time to fix this loophole. the evidence is clear that millions of consumers are at risk. >> reporter: after the abc

stations and "gma" contacted rgo,he ctomers say they received full refunds. the company telling "gma," we're actively working to raise awareness of common scams. when a customer files a claim, we follow the applicable laws and regulatory guidance, including regulation e., based on the facts of their situation. and again, awareness is so important here. this often starts with a text that looks like a fraud alert from your bank. it is followed by a call that looks like it legitimately came from your bank. zelle and wells fargo are trying to increase awareness of the scams on their websites and social media. wells fargo also told us it won't ask customers to transfer funds between accounts or share sensitive information. and the bottom line here is, do not reply to texts or calls to you, and instead look at your credit card. look up the bank's number on the website and call them directly. >> the last bit of advice is so key. >> yes, unfortunately, now,

they're just better at this than ever before. >> they look so legit. >> exactly. >> that's the hard part, it looks so legit. thank you as always. coming up next, we have our "play of the day." your spirit is stronger than your highs and lows. your creativity can outshine any bad day. because you are greater than your bipolar i, and you can help take control of your symptoms - and ask about vraylar. some medicines only treat the lows or highs. once-daily vraylar is proven to treat depressive, acute manic,

i want to show you how this all got started last night. we'll go into texas, this is in the dallas-ft. worth area, where this radar-indicated tornado dropped down some gusty winds. driving rain. water rescues in the area. 4 inches of rain with that. that's how it started, so it's picking up steam and moving east, as we go through. we marked for you the active tornado warnings earlier this morning, near that jackson meridian area. we'll watch this line start to creep toward the east. my real primary concern this morning is for montgomery, to macon, to savannah. this afternoon really is where the storms will light up. there could be large tornadoes, bigger than ef-2 in that area. so we want to watch for that. on the following day tomorrow, it moves up and targets atlanta zone. so we really again, this is active and ongoing. just be aware. guys? >> thank you, sam. now, to new signs the record inflation is squeezing american wallets more than ever.

price generic brands of household goods, brands they bought before the pandemic. >> why does this matter? >> it matters to families struggling right now, struggling to put food on the table, struggling to get their necessities, but it also matters to the economy. when you see signs of people trading down, having to make these kinds of choices, it can mean a slowdown in the economy could be around the corner. >> all right, rebecca, thank you. >> you're a triple-threat this morning, rebecca. >> working. >> and it's only 8:07. >> exactly. >> she does more before 8:30 than most people do all day. coming up, we have new research into what some are calling tiktok brain. why it can be so hard for some kids to stop watching. how parents can put up guardrails to limit use. also this morning, dr. ian smith is here live, with the power of the plant-based diet and how to transform your lifestyle in four weeks. plus, harrison ford is joining forces with the team behind "ted lasso," and lara

but for some parents are reporting their kids don't have the attention span to sit through a movie anymore, let alone read. they say they're seeing the effects of tiktok in real-time. ♪ why don't you say know ♪ ♪ didn't even know it ♪ >> reporter: tiktok run back-to-back for endless scrolling, and kids eat them up. according to an investigation by "the wall street journal," tiktok learned what users like and then customizes the feed, tailoring content to their interests. >> these tiktok clips are designed to continue to engage the attention and to turn away is very, very difficult because it's like, after you've been, say, fasting for three days, then there's a sumptuous meal in front of you, it's hard for anybody to pull back from. >> reporter: what's new here? a study done in china where college students were shown short videos while having their brains scanned in an mri machine. like this one.

in students that were shown targeted videos, tailored to their interests, certain sections of the brain involved in addiction were lit up, more than when shown a random sequence of videos. in line of the addiction concerns, the study says 5.9% of tiktok users may have significant problematic use. >> hold on. you're going on way too long now. >> reporter: scientists say kids inherently have less control over knowing when it's time to disconnect because the brain's prefrontal cortex that targets impulse control and decisionmaking isn't developed until age 25. for the sargent family in phoenix, arizona, the battle over screen time has been an ongoing struggle with their kids si their mom says it's only intensified with the invent of tiktok. >> the mindless scrolling is so hard on them. and then their ability to be engaged with people around, but they want to watch their phone

and do that at the same time. that's so sad. >> reporter: tiktok increased recently the maximum running time of videos from three to ten minutes telling abc news in a statement, in addition to enabling parents to control screen time as part of our family pairing feature, tiktok surfaces in-feed reminders to take breaks from our app. the mri scans can't predict addiction, but it's hard to watch the kids scrolling endlessly. if you're wondering why they don't stop after a while, here's one analogy. the video services are like a candy store, and asking your kids to have self-control and not watch them, maybe stop and read, it's like asking them to stop popping candy and choose broccoli instead. robin, that's just not going to happen for an 11-year-old or 12-year-old. >> okay, so, what can parents do here, becky? >> it's about layering limits. you want to use restricted mode

in tiktok to try and get age-appropriate material. also, it's about total time in the app. you can do that in tiktok or instagram. but i find it's best done in the apple and android controls. you can limit tiktok to 20 minutes a day. i also give my kids time on the family room tv because i can see what they're watching, which is important to talk about it, and i can say, let's turn it off and go do something else. >> but don't turn off "gma." >> they watch this, 7:00 to 9:00, unlimited time. >> your kid might have to be at school before 9:00. >> thank you. >> they watch the headlines every morning with you guys. >> appreciate that, becky, as always. now, how about "pop news," lara? >> let's get right to it. lots to talk about, and hello. >> buckle up, folks. buckle up. we begin with han solo joining forces with "ted lasso." for the first time in his six-decade movie career, harrison ford will star in a tv comedy series for apple plus. the show is being written by

in four simple weeks you can do that. you can do things like lower your cholesterol levels, your blood pressure, reduce your risk for certain types of cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes. increase your energy and increase your mood and it helps you lose weight. >> a lot of people worry about the protein intake. they think they don't get enough protein. how can they get enough protein in their diet like this? >> i'm a weight lifter like a lot of people. i still eat plants for a lot of good protein. it's not just meat protein but great plant protein. things like beans, all types of beans. kidney beans, white beans, black beans, also chickpeas and lentils. you can have edemame, and tofu. here's the beauty of it. you have higher amounts of protein with lower amounts of calories. that's the ratio you want. >> someone says, you have to go plant-based, for a lot of people, it shuts them off. i don't know how to get started. how do you even get started? >> plant-based does not mean vegan or vegetarian. it just means

you're plant-forward and eating more plant-based things. it's simple. first of all, start a few days a week, of going mostly plant-based. increase the amount of salads you consume. that's an easy way to do it. when you shop, shop the perimeter of the store, which has a lot of the produce. do a meatless monday. go meatless on monday. that can help. change your protein as we said to some things that are protein-based as far as plants. and use meat as accents and not as the full meal. >> we have a meal plan you have set up here, transitioning from week one all the way to week four, that can help people lose weight and go more plant-based. walk us through it. >> here's the key, by the way. we want to go from eating 70% animal-based to eating 70% plant based. it's a slow transition. americans want to have seafood and meat, but still be more plant-based. so this is it. here's some simple foods. you can have waffles with some bacon. you can have some popcorn as a snack. >> this is week one? >> week one. we're having things and some of the things we like, maybe bacon,

you can have some salmon. you see your asparagus and rice. you can have pasta with turkey meatballs, and of course guac and peppers. this is great by the way. people have to understand something, the idea is that you want to exchange recipes. in my facebook group, plant power, you can exchange recipes. >> it's always good to have a partner when you do anything. working out or eating like this. and this is week four. an example for week four. what do we have here? >> we start with cereal. and we have quesadilla, a cheese quesadilla. this is not fully vegan. but in some cases, it's dairy here if you'd like. a salad here. there's no meat. sometimes you can add some seafood or meat. and then we have our baked potato, which is always great way to do it. and lastly, you're still going to have steak. we like steak and some veggie chili, and this is the way to go. i want to encourage people to realize, plant-forward means you

can still do it. we talk about all the time, do it in moderation. >> we like steak. don't throw me under the bus. i like steak. i'm willing to try the plant power.

>> thank you. we will have another update in about 30 minutes. ♪ it's gonna be a long, long time ♪ one of our favorite tunes. back here on "gma" on this tuesday morning. turnkeswoman for a supermodel moms, christy turlington burns. can we please give it up for this woman right here? yes. yes. she has teamed up with amy schumer to share tales of rival stories. it's so good, and i love the conversation we were having during the commercial break. it's a beautiful book. >> thank you so much. >> tell us how this idea came about. it was sparked by amy schumer. >> amy, most people know she had a rough pregnancy. she documented it the whole way through. she suffered from hyperemesis,

which means that she was pretty sick all the way to the end. i would send messages of support. i would say, it will get better. it will be fine. she would say it's not getting better. after she had her son, she called me and said we need to start talking about our experiences and stories. we need to share our stories before we become a parent or after giving birth. we can help each other. we can support each other if we share just the hard stuff, the great stuff, the difficult stuff. >> all of it. >> all of it, exactly. that's the idea. we reached out to friends, got a lot of people to contribute. we have pretty much -- i can't say we covered the whole spectrum of motherhood. but we've hit a lot of the various experiences that you can have. >> and one of the friends who contributed, serena williams. she talked about her journey with her daughter, olympia, and her arrival. why did you include her? >> her story did more for

the issue of maternal health and maternal mortality, than any other story, i have to say. we have the most powerful woman, the most famous woman on the planet, who happens to know her body so well. when things didn't go as they should go or as planned, she knew what to ask for. she demanded certain care and she got it. but she really was representing colored, black women who do not get listened to in our medical institutions, who are ignored and who are disrespected. and to have her in this place of power, to be able to put voice to some of those other experiences and stories, it just opened up so much in the conversation. >> i have to congratulate and thank you. you are being so articulate with our set rattling. and falling apart behind us. i hope we will fix it in a second. tell us about "every mother counts." >> so i started every mother counts in 2010. i had a postpartum difficulty

with my daughter, who is now 18 years old. that experience opened my eyes to a global tragedy that people don't talk about. we assume that motherhood just happens, it comes easily. we watch on television and movies, like push, push, and here's your baby. it can be no farther from that, in reality. so, my experience really opened my eyes. my first thought was, like, how do we make it better for the next mother? how do we improve the experience for all women, all families, all birthing people? so, i really dedicated my life and all of my time in this last 12 years to really try to raise awareness. >> how can people connect to it? >> everymothercounts.org. we also have a campaign out to go with the book. we are really inviting people to share their stories. i think it's so important to not only share the things that go wrong, but the things that go really well. we need to see it in order to experience it. please, share your stories.

>> and everybody has a story to tell. >> everybody has a story to tell. >> can you tell us a story of grace as a model? how did that come about? and what are your hopes for her in the industry? >> it's not something i've said out loud because i'm in denial. she has done one photo shoot. i sort of pushed back on the idea of this. i said, when you're 18 and got into college, yes, i guess i don't have a lot of control. so, this is the beginning of that. but scom f shis vy special person ot of ta a proud momure her to plore al. >> butls cuers. teaming up wh omi campbell cindy crawford. how wareve that and being around them and some of the experience you all had in the '90s? >> these are my high school friends. that's who i grew up with. people are sort of fascinated

about this time in the late '80s, early '90s. in the early days of the pandemic, we had an opportunity to come together and think about how to tell that story. and so, it should be coming out next year with apple and imagine films. we're really excited to kind of go back down memory lane and to really celebrate. we've lost a lot of people in our industry. you know, it's a time that has passed. it will be a nice moment to kind of look back and celebrate it together. >> going to look forward to that moment. you're a delight and a pro. i agree with george. that noise has been rattling behind us, and you were focused. focused. that's how you do it, ladies and gentlemen. "arrival stories: women share their experiences of becoming mothers" is available right now. coming up, tommy and dee hilfiger will join us with their

we're back now, honoring autism acceptance month. this morning, we're taking a look at the disability that affects 1 in 44 american children. we're going to speak live with fashion designers tommy hilfiger and his wife, dee, in a moment and talk about their children with autism. first, let's take a look at what life is like for one man with autism. eric garcia is a journalist on capitol hill. >> there's days i'm here all night and days i go home at an

decent hour. >> reporter: he's also autistic and also the author of "we're not broken." >> autistics work in every sector. they're doctors and lawyers and waitresses. they're everywhere. >> reporter: he's 1 of 20 million with autism spectrum disorder, or asd, that affects 1 in 44 american children. >> people who know about autism they can typically guess in a few minutes. and people will say, you're not like my kid because my kid can't speak. it means that autism manifests itself in very different ways. >> reporter: the spectrum is described like a color wheel. each person uniquely affected by a range of different traits in areas of communication, behavior, and socialization. >> someone might have the communication delay but may not have the motor skill delay. they may experience sounds and lights in a very different way than you and i would. times ey thisilhelp tmake the noise not as severe.

but also, they may avoid certain situations, where it's just too overwhelming. >> reporter: another autistic trait is stemming. making repetitive movements or sounds, which can calm them when feeling overwhelmed. it's something that some share on social media. for eric, that means playing with his tie and ring. >> a lot of times, i can just be overwhelmed and almost want to have a meltdown to the point where it's difficult to communicate, speak. and that's just my way to deal with all of the sounds. >> reporter: experts say, early detection and intervention is key. >> when a child is young, the brain is capable of change. >> reporter: by 6 months, early signs include little or no smiling and limited eye contact. by 12 months, little or no babbling, pointing or response to their name. and by 24 months, few or no meaningful two-word phrases. >> flapping their hands, spinning, twirling, walking on their toes.

if you do see the behaviors in the child, these are behaviors that are associated with asd and important to mention to your pediatrician. >> we're joined now by tommy hilfiger and his wife, dee. thank you both for joining us this morning, and thank you for helping to bring more acceptance to those with autism. tell us about your kids. >> well, we have seven children. his, mine, and ours. of those seven, three of them have been diagnosed with asd. so, we have a lot of experience with it. each one of them has different kind of symptoms. and i think we can both agree -- i mean, i can't speak for tommy. but i remember with my first son, he was diagnosed almost 26 years ago. and we've come a long way from 26 years ago, to today, where our youngest son was diagnosed. and i've seen a big change in

how it's been treated. and tommy also has a daughter that is 26. i'm sure, you would say the same. >> early intervention is really the key. if you can intervene early and if you sense that your child is off in any way, as dr. clark said, if they're not responding or if they're in their own world, you should get them tested. and the earlier you get them tested, the sooner you can intervene. early intervention is really one of the keys to being successful with bringing them out of it, so to speak. >> what was some of the early sign of autism for your kids? >> nonverbal. >> yeah. >> not speaking at the appropriate time. our son was counting steps at 1 1/2 years old. and at 2, he stopped counting, stopped speaking.

he was babbling quite a bit and then just stopped. so, we had him tested. obviously, it was a bit of a shock. but once you get over the shock, you then plan to do something about it. and we put all of our energy into getting the best professionals around all of our children, who had been affected. that was really the key to, i think, progress. >> yeah. what's your best advice for some parents out there who are watching this and going, hmm, i may see some signs? what is your best advice for them? and if you're a parent who has a kid who has been diagnosed with autism, what's your advice for them as well? >> also, as a new parent -- i was 27 years old when i had my first son. i don't think you necessarily know unless you know you're looking in books, what the signs are and what developmental markers they're supposed to hit and when. you don't have that experience. i think it's really crucial that

you, you know, talk to pediatricians. also, once the child is diagnosed, i think the most helpful thing for us and for other parents is to seek out other parents that -- you know, we immediately had friends that were so helpful in connecting us with ada therapists and specialists and doctors. i think it's important, you know, when you receive that diagnosis, it can be quite devastating, but i think seeking out the support of friends made a big, big difference for us. >> laura slatkin and her husband, harry, founded next for autism, which supports autistic adults. their son was diagnosed early on. they helped us through it. they led us to autism speaks. there's a lot of services around. autism new jersey, headed by our

friend, tom curtain, is incredible. there are so many services you can reach out to, hospitals. start with a pediatrician. i think early testing is absolutely the key. we can't stress that enough. >> i thank you for letting us reach out to you and you sharing your personal experience. i think it will help so many people out there. >> absolutely, michael. >> dee, tommy, thank you. >> thank you. >> appreciate you. great to see you. now, we go over to sam champion. hey, sam. >> hey, michael. important conversation for our families. right now, take a second. kick your shoes off. i want you to feel the sand between your toes, as we all stand -- yes, you too robin. this is by cardiff by the sea. this is timelapse. in my real estate dreams, that's what i would see out the window of my house every day. let's do that together. here's what's going on. we have a lot of offshore winds and the heat is up. this is going to be a problem.
