but first, we're going to begin with the latest on the war in ukraine. president biden denouncing russia for war crimes and the u.s. and its allies imposing new sanctions targeting russia's economy and vladimir putin's family. and this morning, secretary blinken is meeting with nato allies. james longman is there on the front lines for us. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, robin. this is bucha and this just gives you an idea of the ferocity of the battle here. this is a russian armored personnel carrier completely burned out all down this main street. you can see burnt out tank down the end and look at how close we are to people's homes. this war is being fought on their doorstep, in the places that people live. aid is starting to get in here. services are being restored, but it is going to take a long time for the people of this town to come to terms with what they've experienced and a warning to people watching, the images you're about to see are very disturbing. this morning, with the utter devastation in ukraine getting clearer by the day, an urgent new plea for more help from the west. >> my agenda is very simple,

it has only three items on it. it's weapons, weapons and weapons. >> reporter: it comes as russians retreat from areas around kyiv and new disturbing images emerge from the destruction left behind. this week we met nicolai who told us about the three friends he watched die and had to bury in his backyard. >> at least one was shot in front of him. >> it's almost impossible to walk around the streets of bucha and not see evidence of violence and in some cases what appear to be war crimes. >> reporter: as evidence mounts of possible russian war crimes, in ukraine, the u.s. is now imposing new sanctions on those closest to vladimir putin. >> civilians executed in cold blood, bodies dumped into mass graves. the sense of brutality and inhumanity left for all the world to see unapologetically, there's nothing less happening than major war crimes. >> reporter: the targets include putin's two adult daughters because u.s. officials suspect many of his assets are hidden with his family members.

putin's family. new sanctions also penalize russia's largest banks and overnight, president zelenskyy thanked the west but still called for more action to be taken. saying, if sanctions are tangible and i'm grateful for that, but much more needs to be done to stop the war. we traveled to borodyanka under russian occupation for weeks. 13,000 people once lived here. now reduced to rubble. the other thing about this town is that all you really hear is the sound of crows. there are very few people because there's nothing for them to come back to. this man's home, one of the many destroyed in the attacks. he tells us when the russians invaded he could hear the planes overhead dropping bombs and helicopters flying just above the houses. meanwhile, the war raging in the south and east of the country. according to police.

and in the southern city of mariupol, 5,000 people have been killed since the invasion began and new allegations from city officials that the russians have been operating mobile incineration units to burn the bodies of dead civilians potentially covering up war crimes. abc news hasn't been able to verify the claims. the city has been under siege by russian forces for weeks with tens of thousands still trapped inside. now, th u.n. general assembly will vote on removing russia from the u.n. human rights council. they need a two-thirds majority for that. the u.s. ambassador thinks that will be achieved, but i think it's fair to say no one here in ukraine believes russia has any place on that council. >> not at all. okay, james, thanks very much. also, for the first time since world war ii, the senate unanimously passed legislation to revive lend lease to get more weapons and aid to ukraine. cecilia vega has the latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning to you. this essentially makes it easier for president biden to greenlight sending military aid to ukraine. basically it's cutting the red tape. it's something that the

ukrainians have been asking for using land lease to send supplies and overnight after that vote ukraine's foreign minister thanked the united states for what he called this important first step. you mentioned world war ii. this was created during that era in order to have the u.s. help allies, send supplies, lend supplies, rather than sell them to allies. it allows the united states to be seen as continuing to offer support without involving troops on the ground. this comes on the heels of that massacre that james was just talking about. overnight on the senate floor after this vote senate majority leader said the -- chuck schumer i should say the russian troops were carrying out genocide. so now, george, what happens, this heads over to the house. unclear whether they will take this up before they head out on their two-week recess today. now to that secret service scandal. federal prosecutors charging two men who they say posed as homeland security officials giving gifts to secret service agents including one who worked on the first lady's security team. abc's chief global affairs

correspondent martha raddatz is in washington with more for us this morning. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this is a wild story with allegations of lavish gifts to agents working at the white house, fake i.d.s, piles of money and a big question, was someone or some country behind this and what were they after? this morning, as the fbi gathers evidence, jaw-dropping charges against two men who authorities say for more than two years posed as homeland security investigating agents and the suspension of very real secret security agents, including one who was tasked with protecting jill biden who court documents say accepted extravagant gifts from the men who have been arrested. authorities say arian taherzadeh and haider ali used this luxury d.c. apartment building,

just blocks from the u.s. capitol, to convince the secret service agents they were federal special police agents claiming to investigate gang violence and the january 6th insurrection and, according to court documents, they had access to authentic-looking dhs badges and weapons, secure laptops and other equipment. those four suspended agents allegedly accepting thousands of dollars worth of gifts including rent-free apartments worth more than $3,000 a month, iphones and a flat screen tv, surveillance systems and a drone. >> the amount of time it took, the money it took, buying the equipment, having surveillance gear, all of those things go to somebody's put up a lot of money to pull this off. >> reporter: taherzadeh allegedly sending photos to a secret service agent wearing a tactical vest with homeland security patches and another

posing in a closet filled with police protective gear. taherzadeh even allegedly going so far as to have recruited one of the agents for dhs, according to court documents, part of that process involved shooting the agent with an air rifle in order to evaluate the agent's reaction and pain tolerance. also, sending a text message to one of the secret service agents saying he was sitting in a class. investigators revealing that same photo was a stock photo taken from a dhs tweet. >> there are so many red flags in this particular story, it's actually horrifying to me that anybody would buy into this. certainly it was enough to convince a number of secret service officers that these guys were legitimate. >> reporter: that, of course, is just an allegation at this point, but this morning, the

secret service saying it is fully cooperating with the investigation, and that the organization adheres to the highest levels of professional standards and conduct, but this investigation is only just beginning, robin. >> only just beginning. all right, martha, thank you. we're going to tn notohihaae do iflida and ora.m ampionngor ginger. i know you're tracking it all >> finally, these storms weakening moving towards the coast. 32 -- i'm sorry, 62 tornadoes in just 3 days in 6 states. this is a lot of damage. we're going to show you some of the damage out of pembroke, georgia. because we start going into the areas and looking at what size the storm was, the storm, the strength of the storm is determined by the damage. so when you start to see the walls down and roofs gone we're talking about winds probably in excess of 163 miles an hour at

the ef-3 category. we start to get tree damage at ef-0. look at this. this is another shot looking at some buildings completely wiped out in georgia so some of the worst damage of this last couple of days has been in south carolina and georgia. our elwyn lopez is in decatur this morning. not once in my 40 years has tornado damage not surprised me. what are you seeing? >> reporter: yeah, hey, sam, good morning. another round of storms tore through parts of georgia overnight, but people here are still cleaning up from what severe weather brought to the area earlier this week. take a look at what it did here. ripping trees from the roots, slamming them into homes, thankfully no one was injured here. the man who lives here was able things are clearing out here, heavy rain from this same system is pushing int are lives that are gone, we lost two lives at least in the round of storms this week. here's where we're pushing it to, the coastline. i want to pay attention to

this line that gets into florida so, orlando and tampa, some strong damaging winds with that but also looking at maybe a tornado threat from richmond to raleigh so we want everyone paying attention to that. >> thanks. now to supreme court nominee judge ketanji brown jackson. full senate expected to vote later and confirm her as the first black woman to serve on the court. congressional correspondent rachel scott has the latest. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning. and the senate is now just hours away from the final confirmation vote for judge ketanji brown jackson. set to make history as the first black woman confirmed to the u.s. supreme court. after a marathon round of contentious confirmation hearings this is the last hurdle for judge jackson. the final vote expected to be bipartisan, but narrow. only three republican senators say they will vote yes on judge jackson. all others plan to vote against, most claiming that while she is well qualified but soft on crime. while this process has moved along quickly, jackson will actually have to wait a few months before she takes the job.

she could not step in until justice stephen breyer officially retires this summer but jackson, a former clerk for justice breyer, now set to replace him on the bench, michael. >> thank you so much, rachel. now we turn to the falout after minnesota authorities announced they will not be pressing charges against the police officer who shot and killed amir locke while executing a no-knock warrant. his family speaking this morning and alex perez has the latest. >> reporter: this morning, fallout after authorities announcing the officer who shot and killed 22-year-old amir locke while executing a no-knock warrant will not face charges. >> i am not disappointed, i am disgusted with the city of minneapolis. >> reporter: minneapolis police say locke raised his gun in the direction of s.w.a.t. team officer hanneman. >> locke was holding it by the butt of the gun in a shooting position, although his finger was not on the trigger. that gun was pointed directly at officer hanneman. >> reporter: moments later locke killed. body camera video shows officers

using a key to quietly enter the apartment, then announcing themselves. >> police. >> hands, hands. >> reporter: inside on the couch and under a blanket at his cousin's apartment locke appears to be woken up by the commotion and then seen with a gun in hand. hanneman firing three shots. locke was not a suspect nor was he named on the warrant. his family says he legally owned his gun. >> you don't want to put anybody on trial for a case simply to meet public demand. it has to be an ethical consideration based on prosecutorial ethics. >> reporter: his emotional mother issuing a clear and direct message to the officer who shot her son. >> you may have been found not guilty, but in the eyes of me being the mother who i am, you are guilty. continue to have your restless nights because i know you do,

but you're going to continue to be restless because my -- the spirit of my baby is going to haunt you for the rest of your life. >> reporter: and prosecutors who review the evidence say there were no charges that they believe that would hold in court. locke's family says they still intend to pursue a civil suit, robin. >> yes, they do. all right, alex, thank you. now to the countdown to the tiger woods comeback. the golf great is hitting the course at the masters in a few hours. 10:34 a.m. eastern time to be exact. his first tournament since the suv crash. kaylee hartung has the latest. >> reporter: just 14 months after surviving a near-fatal car crash, this morning, tiger woods making a miraculous return in the 2022 masters. >> it's up to me to endure the pain. >> reporter: a feat doctors, fans and tiger himself feared wouldn't be possible. >> i think he's in a really good place. i think he's prepared the best he can. >> reporter: his first professional tournament back, the biggest event in the sport where tiger made his reputation and resurrected it.

in 2019, winning his fifth jacket after hitting professional and personal rock bottom. but that comeback coming to a devastating halt in february 2021. >> very fortunate that mr. woods ws able to come out of this alive. >> reporter: doctors performing emergency surgery to repair multiple fractures to woods' right leg. the injury so severe they considered amputating it. >> i think the golfing world needs him. the fans obviously love it. >> reporter: on wednesday, woods playing his second nine-hole practice round of the week at augusta national. >> i don't have any qualms what i can do physically.ol standpoit it's now walking is the hard part. >> reporter: considered one of the toughest courses in professional golf it's defined by its hilly terrain. >> that portion of that fairway is about the same slope as the second turn at daytona. >> reporter: this image from the masters website showing the 18 long holes tiger will have to walk. four times in four days. once known for his perfect swing, tiger now making his

legacy one of endurance. >> it's going to be a tough challenge and a challenge that i'm up for. >> reporter: you've heard all about that bad weather down here. now we have at least a half hour delay to the start of the masters so reset those alarms, guys, 11:04 a.m. eastern. tiger set to tee off in augusta. >> i love that, 11:04, not 11:00. 11:04. coverage begins at 8:45 on espn plus and then on espn it continues at 3:00. a lot more coming up on "gma," including new sanctions on vladimir putin's daughters, and their role in the kremlin. and the boat nearly crushed by a drawbridge. what happened next as we hear from an eyewitness. thankfullyy. let's go back now to sam. >> showery day inside the beltway. as if you were straddling the top of the washington monument looking at the lincoln memorial, that's what that is. a lon that's leaving washington, headed up to

cooperate with the january 6th investigation. baseball is finally back. it's opening day for the mlb, the first pitch goes out this afternoon between the brewers and cubs in chicago. something of a holiday for the fans. since we don't get the day off from work and school, the cubs have posted this written excuse. all you have to do is fill in the blanks. >> we'll see how that works. >> we'll see how that goes. >> yeah. we've got a lot more ahead including how to protect yourself from thieves targeting gas tanks. that's coming up, george. now, a closer look at the new sanctions on russia hitting close to home for vladimir putin with his daughters now targeted. since the invasion began the u.s. has sanctioned more than 140 oligarchs and family members, more than 400 russian government officials. terry moran is in lviv with the story. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. in response to the mounting evidence of russian atrocities in this war, the united states slapped new sanctions on major financial institutions but also went after as you mentioned vladimir putin's inner circle. his family members, because

officials say, they believe that's where he's hiding some of his money. this morning, the walls are closing in on those closest to russian president vladimir putin after the u.s. and eu announced a new round of sanctions, some aimed directly at putin's adult daughters. >> together with our allies and partners we're going to keep raising the economic costs and ratchet up the pain for putin. >> reporter: mariya and katarina his children with his ex-wife lyudmila ocheretnaya have remained out of the public eye for most of their lives. their alleged roles and how they're connected to the kremlin. mariya, 36 years old, is the leader of a state funded genetics research program that the kremlin allegedly gives billions of dollars to. vladimir putin personally oversees it according to the treasury, and katarina, 35, she's a tech executive whose work supports the russian government. and the defense industry, the treasury alleges. putin discussed his daughters' careers in this docu-series with film director oliver stone. [ speaking foreign language ]

>> they are into science and education. >> you're a very lucky man. two good children. >> translator: yes, i'm proud of them. >> reporter: katarina is also known for her acrobatic rock and roll competition. now the women grown with children of their own. >> are you a good grandfather? do you play with them in the garden? >> translator: very seldom. >> reporter: very little is known about his wealth although independent investigators believe it is vast. several concluding that putin is a billionaire. he lives like one. his opponents who hope to expose russian corruption have released images of what is believed to be his $1.4 billion home, known as putin's palace, and his $700 million yacht registered under others' names and that is why the u.s. is targeting those closest to putin. a white house official saying 245i believe many of putin

assets are hidden with family members. the u.s. and eu taking new aim at the oligarchs who support him. on monday officials seized a $90 million yacht called "tango." over 600 companies have withdrawn their businesses from russia so far. some like chanel even refusing to sell products to russians abroad unless they confirm they won't use those products in russia. enraged russian influencers posted videos showing them cutting up their chanel bags in protest. for so many ordinary russians the effects of sanctions are devastating, especially to those who depend on western business. >> we expect hundreds of thousands of people to lose their jobs because of the sanctions. >> reporter: u.s. officials say that the total package of sanctions on russia now will put it out of the top 20 world economies and on a long path of

economic decline and isolation, and it's ordinary people who are going to feel the brunt of it. they can't say whether they will bite into vladimir putin's lifestyle or even if they do it would stop him in this war. >> whether it will make any difference at all. terry, thanks very much. chief legal analyst dan abrams is here to talk about. what happens to the yachts when taken? >> they're not necessarily taken. they're frozen in effect. they're not owned by the u.s., for example, or european countries when they take that yacht and there's going to be potentially long legal fights ahead. typically what happens is, when you freeze assets like that, you then have a fight over who is going to own it in the end. in the united states you have to show there was a crime and that it was used in the context of that crime in order for the united states to then literally take that asset but one other interesting question is, who pays for the upkeep right now? in theory it should be the oligarchs. they'll send in money to pay for the crew?

so the bottom line is, you'll see that asset also depreciate in value over time, which is something else to think about. >> but can shell companies get around these sanctions? >> they're trying to do it all the time. they're trying to put it into trust. one reason they're going after vladimir putin's daughters is because a lot of the time they give money to family members to try to hide it so that is absolutely something that's happening and something that the u.s. is well aware of. >> what about u.s. companies abiding to these restrictions? i mean, how strict? >> it's very strict and there are both civil and even potentially criminal penalties for u.s. companies or individuals who violate sanctions. now, remember, this can be tricky particularly for a small or medium size business. first of all, there can be a russian-owned company could be done through an intermediary, or unclear exactly who owns what in connection with it, and the bigger and trickier thing can be, let's say an american company is doing business with a south american business, south american individual and they have reason to know that that

person will then resell it to russia, that u.s. individual or company could be held responsible under the sanctions if they had a reason to know that that would eventually end up in russia. >> seven weeks into the war, why not sanction putin's daughters right at the start? >> it's a good question. i think they were holding on to it asorrot and stick. ter pun rsonal g thed sta chamnks a at tnder a peum obo gs ushed t openirie. victor oquendo is in florida with more. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this was a close call. a witness saying this group stopped under the bridge to avoid the rain, but that decision quickly turned dangerous. >> oh, my god.

alcohol use. >> reporter: while most of us know alcohol is associated with depression, liver disease, even obesity, experts say it's linked to cancer from head and neck cancers to breast and colon cancer has flown under the radar. the cdc encourages women to have no more than one drink a day, but science shows even these casual drinkers are at risk. >> over 100,000 cases a year worldwide are attributable to low level or casual drinking. i think that's most surprising because i think many of us are really comfortable with doing ha that and consider that safe. >> reporter: doctors say the cancers most commonly associated with alcohol include liver and throat cancers, but one recent study found those not at risk for breast cancer did increase their risk for breast cancer from moderate drinking. >> one or two drinks a week is adding risk and that's a personal decision all of us have to make. >> reporter: heavy alcohol

intake in women, more than three drinks in one day or seven in a week has the strongest association with breast cancer risk. 37-year-old liz says she's a moderate social drinker, but she says some of her family members have voiced concern. >> i'm a single young lady and i go out and have fun and i do get judged because my facebook is a lot of pictures of me with cocktails in my hand so i've heard it from many family members. >> reporter: even as she's learned more about the risks of drinking liz chooses the reward over the risk. do you feel there's any need to change your drinking habits? >> no, absolutely not. i'm a firm believer that everything causes something and you cannot live your life being scared. live your life. >> reporter: for "good morning america," kaylee hartung, abc news, los angeles. >> our thanks to kaylee. we're going to bring in our chief medical correspondent dr. jen ashton with more. what do these reveal. >> as we heard in the piece we turned a blind eye to this.

this is not new information. we know that alcohol can be a significant carcinogen and increase the risk of various types of cancer, but particularly and specifically when you talk about women and alcohol, there are some differences there. women are particularly susceptible to these carcinogen effects that alcohol delivers. alcohol can increase or mimic estrogen and excess estrogen we know is a risk factor for particularly breast cancer but, again, there is a slew of other cancers that alcohol use is associated with. >> what in particular does it do to the body. >> well, i think this is a perfect example of gender-specific medical differences so the fact of the matter is that alcohol behaves differently in women than it does in men. women take longer to metabolize alcohol. they -- it stays this our system longer. there are different drinking limits and this really has to do with different enzymes that women lack to metabolize alco alcohol, so, you

know, this is significant and we can't look at this like so many other things in medicine like one size fits all. >> you know some women -- jen, i'm just a social drinker. i have a drink here or there. what do you say to that and how much is too much? >> i want to be crystal clear if you look at the cdc, world health organization, they are crystal clear that there is no safe amount of alcohol. i know we hate to hear that because most of the time in medicine we say most things in moderation, even one serving of alcohol a day can increase the risk, so when i hear women say they don't want to take hormones because they're afraid of the possible increased risk of breast cancer my first answer is then you should also give up alcohol, but this is going to be a hard pill to swallow for sure because it is so much a part of our culture. >> is that really new? >> it's not new. it's not new. but again, it's not the only thing we do that can have negative effects. it has to be a deliberate choice and we have to go into it with the awareness that we know unfortunately it's just not good for us. >> more on "gma3" with you later. thank you. michael. >> thank you, robin. now to "gma" money smart. food prices are soaring up

>> i needed to figure out a way to make sure i was using all of the food i was buying. it's more for those foods that need to be eaten in the next day or two because they're kind of like on the clock. >> give us a practical example of how you use your need to use bin. >> every week i sweep through my fridge and i just look for anything that's on its last few days. so maybe it's a cucumber i had half cut up for a salad earlier that week and i know that it's about to start to go slimy so i will put it in the need to use bin. >> reporter: i put this to the test at home. sorting through my fridge. i created my need to use bin because these berries are on their last leg and i want to make sure i feed them to my kids for a snack before they go bad. this cauliflower rice back here is almost expired so i got the cheese that needs to get used and the avocado to remind myself to make mexican cauliflower rice soon. way back here, behind the

marinara sauce, was a little apple cider hiding and it needs to go over by its friends in the side door so we actually use it. >> reporter: alyssa says divide up foods by category and put them in clear bins you can easily access so you don't leave items to go bad all the way in the back. take inventory of your fridge once a week to make sure you're not buying items you already have. and if you find yourself overbuying at the store -- walk us through some of the best ways you see families can save. >> meal planning. having some sort of plan does save you money. >> reporter: if you're anything like our family we go through berries by the ton and i know that they are very expensive. they can go bad quickly so from now on we're going to use our need to use bin and i'm going to put my berries in the need to use bin and started implementing this after talking to alyssa last night and guess what, i had berries for breakfast this morning, and alyssa also says labeling the clear bins in your fridge can save you time and money and you do not need a fancy label maker, michael, just use good old-fashioned tape with some sharpie. >> berries are very expensive. you don't need all of those.

i'll take a few off your hands. >> i'll share. >> what other tips did you learn from alyssa? >> beware of buying in bulk. it can be compelling especially perishable items but if you're tossing half the bag out, then buying the smaller one may be a better idea. try using frozen jarred and canned foods. they have a much longer shelf life and, of course, cardinal rule, do not go to the grocery store when you're hungry. you got to have a plan. i always do this and i always end up impulse buying. >> that's my favorite time. cookies and all that. all right, erielle, thank you so much. now we go to sam champion who is in for ginger. >> so i know the cherry blossoms in d.c. may have peaked but there's more. take a look at what's going on in queens, long island city, it's around hunter's point and the trees are up and out and some in central park and we've got some in philadelphia. i know on the west coast seattle, portland area has beautiful blossoms as well. now we're watching this heavy rain move up from philly to new york, overnight it goes toward
