from a month ago but up over a dollar from this time last year. now, remember, if you are traveling internationally, you need to get that negative covid test a day before coming back home. cecelia? >> good information, thanks. we turn to this covid-19 breakthrough ahead of the holiday weekend. with cases and hospitalizations rising in some parts of the cuntry and two new omicron subvariants spreading the fda authorized the first covid breathalyzer test for emergency use. trevor ault has the latest on this one. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, cecelia. yeah, this is great news for people who hate that nasal swab. called the inspect ir covid-19 breathalyzer and it can deliver results in just three minutes but it is important to note these breathalyzers have to be administered in doctor's offices, in hospitals, at testing sites. the fda is saying also that you should confirm any positive results with a pcr test afterwards. so this is not going to be an at-home test. instead the company says it is geared more towards use in

industries that need mass testing -- nursing homes, cruise lines and maybe in schools. the rollout is expected to be gradual. pretty limited availability at first but it comes as the u.s. sees an uptick in new covid cases and hospital admissions in some parts of the country, in fat, as millions plan to gather for the holidays too we are also subvariants of ba.2 that have been detected in new york state and 30 states across the u.s. and officials say those variants could be about 25% more contagious. george? >> okay, trevor, thanks very much. now to the war in ukraine. one of russia's largest warships has sunk in the black sea. the blow comes as russian troops were poisoned to take control of a key port city. marcus moore is in kyiv with the latest. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: well, george, good morning. the air raid sirens have been sounding here in kyiv this morning and there were new air strikes overnight reportedly hitting targets outside the city as fighting intensifies in the east. this morning, new images out of mariupol showing the increasing devastation in the already battered city that has been at the center of fierce fighting

between russian and ukrainians forces. the commander of ukrainian marine forces there saying the situation is critical and pleading this morning for help to break the russian siege saying, quote, it must be done as soon as possible. and the russians suffering a major blow to their military and its morale confirming the country's largest ship, "moskva," sunk in the black sea. ukraine's military saystwo of its anti-missiles hit the cruiser, but russia says it came after a fire on board. president zelenskyy applauding those defending ukraine. saying, quote, those who have shown that russian ships can go to the bottom only. in the wake of the explosion the u.s. defense official says russia has moved several of its ships operating in the region farther away from the coast and as the $800 million in new u.s. military aid goes to ukraine, "the washington post" reporting the russians warning the u.s. in a formal diplomatic note of, quote, unpredictable consequences saying the u.s. and nato are adding fuel to the conflict with weapons shipments. with the russian military facing

setbacks all over the country, the u.s. cia director saying putin could escalate attacks in ukraine. >> none of this we can take lightly the threat posed by a potential resort to a tactical nuclear weapon. >> reporter: but he adds they have not seen practical evidence that such a move could happen in the near future. just outside kyiv we saw the devastation the russians left behind. you can see the burned out vehicles just behind me and off in the distance, that building blown out, the wall, signs of shrapnel. in this area alone, so many lives have been torn apart by this invasion. >> is this your home? [speaking foreign language] >> reporter: this man told us russians came here in a tank sending him, his wife and daughter running to a neighbor's basement for safety. he showed us pieces that left the home in ruins. officials here in kyiv this morning are saying that the risk for an increased number of air strikes is very high, particularly here in kyiv where russians have threatened to hit key command and communication centers in the city.

michael? >> all right, marcus, be safe. thank you. now to the accused brooklyn subway shooter making his first court appearance. prosecutors say he carried out a premeditated attack, opening fire on that crowded subway train, and leaving nearly 30 people injured. he had the means to do even more damage. janai norman is outside the jail in brooklyn for us this morning. good morning, janai. >> reporter: michael, good morning. this is where that suspected subway shooter is being held without bail. federal prosecutors calling the shooting calculated and the man they believe responsible a severe and ongoing risk to the community who they say had the means to carry out more attacks. new details emerging as law enforcement sources tell abc news alleged subway attacker frank james may have rushed the attack. saying they're investigating whether he allegedly started the attack earlier than intended. authorities believe after setting off a smoke grenade, james knelt on one knee and opened fire hitting ten people,

saying that's why most victims were hit in their hands or their legs. the 62-year-old suspect appearing before a federal judge thursday on that terror-related charge of carrying out a violent premeditated act on mass transit after crossing state lines. prosecutors claiming the attack was premeditated, carefully planned, and caused terror among the victims and entire city. court filings say james had enough ammunition and supplies i this philadelphia storage unit to carry out even more attacks, but his defense attorney praising james for turning himself in. >> yesterday mr. james saw his photograph on the news. he called crimestoppers to help. he told them where he was. >> reporter: new york city resident jack griffin capturing these photos of james in new york's east village moments before his capture.

>> about 20 feet away, i saw him sitting down at that bench over there, and so i got out my camera, and i quickly took a photo of the street, and that's when he noticed that he was being photographed, and he started walking away. >> reporter: abc affiliate wisn capturing this footage of federal agents at james' home in milwaukee as the investigation spans multiple states. and to emphasize how strange this case is, prosecutors say that james wore a hard hat and that construction style vest to avoid detection and got rid of them so that no one would recognize him, but the next day called police after seeing his picture to turn himself in. he has not entered a plea but his attorney asking a judge to provide him with psychiatric care. cecelia? >> still a lot of questions. janai, thanks so much. we turn to the latest state restrictions on abortion. florida governor's signing a law that bans the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy. congressional correspondent rachel scott joins us with more

on what this means for women all over the southeast. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: cecilia, good morning. and just this week alone at least three states have moved to restrict access to abortion. these are some of the strictest abortion laws that we have seen in decades and the latest right there in florida, banning the procedure at 15 weeks. this morning, the battle over abortion rights is intensifying across the country. [ crowd chanting ] florida governor ron desantis signing a new law banning most abortions past 15 week. >> we are here today to protect life. we are here today to defend those who can't defend themselves. >> reporter: no exceptions for rape or incest. the only exceptions, to save the pregnant woman's life or if it poses a serious risk. abortion rights advocates vowing to fight it before it goes into effect july 1st. >> we will pursue getting this stopped in any way we can. >> reporter: but it's not just florida. across the country several states have enacted laws

restricting access to the procedure. just days ago oklahoma enacted a law to make performing an abortion illegal, punishable by up to ten years in prison. >> the implications for people in oklahoma are devastating. >> reporter: that law won't go into effect until this summer. but in kentucky some women are already facing a new reality. republican lawmakers in that state overrode the governor's veto on a new law banning the procedure at 15 weeks and strictly regulating access to abortion pills. all of it forcing the only two remaining clinics in the state to stop providing abortions for now. all of these laws will certainly be challenged in court and most of them are modeled after mississippi's ban on abortion at 15 weeks into a woman's pregnancy. a challenge to that will come before the court. a decision is expected this

summer that could determine the future of roe versus wade. george? >> thanks. the latest on a deadly police shooting in grand rapids, michigan. there have been protests after 26-year-old patrick lyoya was shot in the head during a traffic stop. the victim's family speaking out. alex perez has the story. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, george. patrick lyoya's parents insist the officer did not have to use lethal force. they believe their son was executed. this morning, protesters taking to the streets for another day demanding the firing of the grand rapids, michigan, police officer who shot and killed 26-year-old patrick lyoya. [ crowd chanting ] his family speaking out for the first time. the congolese immigrants through a translator expressing their grief and asking that the officer be prosecuted. >> translator: i was thinking going to bury me or assist at my funeral, but what is so astonishing, i am burying my son. >> reporter: the incident recorded on an officer body camera, dash cam, security cameras and a bystander's cell phone unfolding when police say

lyoya was pulled over because the plates on his car were registered to a different vehicle. >> no, no, no, stop. put your hands up. >> reporter: the situation quickly escalating when lyoya attempts to flee and the officer pursues. the officer deploys his taser. lyoya fighting and wrestling to get to the officer's taser. >> okay. >> stop. >> reporter: with lyoya down and facing the ground, the officer ends up on top of him and as the struggle continues, the officer then draws his firearm and shoots lyoya in the head. family attorney ben crump argues while lyoya was trying to escape he never threatened the officer. >> it is an unjustifiable use of deadly force because the police escalated a traffic stop into an execution. >> reporter: and state police continue to investigate the shooting and the officer's use of force. they will hand over their findings to the prosecutor who will then determine if charges will be filed.

michael? >> all right, thank you so much for that, alex. now we turn to some great news about our friend dick vitale this morning. let's get it straight from the espn legend. >> hey. ring that bell, baby. ring that bell. hey. >> ring that bell, baby, is right. dickie v. is cancer-free and ringing that bell to celebrate his final chemo treatment for lymphoma. he tweeted thanking his medical team and everyone who sent prayers and love, and called it his march madness championship, and we hope he is back on the mic for march madness next year. he definitely brings so much energy to the broadcast. >> a lot of joy right there. that is great. elon musk is making a major play to buy twitter. why he wants to gain control of the platform. the new details about prince harry and meghan's surprise visit to see the queen and prince charles. but first, over to ginger with the latest on those wild

own it outright offering $54.20 a share totaling about $43 billion. >> elon musk. [ applause ] >> reporter: just hours after the offer went public, musk appeared at the ted 2022 conference and described his motivation for the attempted acquisition. >> well, i think it's very important for there to be an inclusive arena for free speech. twitter has become the de facto town square. >> reporter: musk worth an estimated $265 billion according to "forbes" announced it thursday morning on twitter, of course where he has 82 million followers. his filing includes a letter to the chairman of twitter's board saying he hopes to unlock the company's potential, but that twitter needs to be transformed as a private company. musk says he wants to open up twitter's algorithm and again promised a long debated edit button but was evasive when

asked about what he'd do if his offer is rejected. >> is there a plan b? >> there is. [ laughter ] >> and yet he wouldn't quite say what that plan b is. musk is facing pushback from some investors, some employees at twitter concerned about what his involvement in the company might entail and there is a class action lawsuit over the timing of his initial disclosure about his 9% stake in the company. now it is up to twitter's board to review his proposal which is exactly what they say they will do, george. >> let's bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams as well. you're a legal analyst, media analyst. is this a serious move by elon musk? what is he trying to do? >> any time it's elon musk you have to take it at least seriously but the question is exactly what is he trying to do. a, is it okay? is it not okay? let's assume it is real. the question is why is he doing it, right. if it's strictly a business

matter, okay. is he going to change the advertising model? that's a big question there, right. that's possible. but if he's really trying to fundamentally change sort of how twitter does what it does and that's his real purpose, remember, that too can have an . he talks about free speech meaning reducing some of the guardrails that twitter has in place, but that could fundamentally change sort of not just who is on twitter, how people use twitter, but also again which advertisers want to be affiliated with twitter. so all things are intersectd and we'll just have to see how exactly how serious he is. >> hardly a guarantee that this will happen. let's bring rebecca back in here. twitter's board can use a poison pill to block this if they want to go that route. how does that work? what is that? >> dan really brings up an important point here, which is how elon pays for all of this. most of elon's wealth right now is locked up in shares of his other companies, tesla and

spacex. in order to obtain funding for a $43 billion opportunity to buy this company, he's going to have to sell a lot of that stock or fund it in another way and it's unclear exactly where that stands. he's claimed, as he has previously. he can get the financing. we saw this previously with him where he wasn't able to do it and didn't take his company private as he said he might on twitter previously. >> and, dan, we also know there's a lawsuit on behalf of several shareholders. how big of a problem is that for him? >> not that big a problem. i mean, you're talking about comparative pennies from these shareholders compared to the amount at issue here. you know, there's also possibilities of s.e.c. investigation about certain rules, et cetera. i don't think any of that is going to be the fundamental make or break here. i think what rebecca is talking about is going to be the issue that's going to determine, number one, how serious is he, number two, if he is really serious, how does he get the

cash to pay for it? >> number three would be is the price high enough for twitter. rebecca, let's assume for the moment that this actually does go through. what would the transformation he may or may not have in mind mean for twitter users, twitter employees? >> that's still a very big open-ended question. he's talked about the edit button. that's something a lot of people have talked about. would we be able to edit a tweet once it's gone through? that's small potatoes compared to the other major things he's talked about, bringing people back onto the platform. maybe people kicked off twitter under a new world order of elon musk owning twitter, suddenly you see people back on the platform banned. >> we know what you'll cover for the next few weeks.

not as a baseball player as a father. >> on a personal level, my father wanted to build a strong family and be a strong father. he grew up in a house without a father. he wanted to be someone who could support his mother who grew up as a sharecropper and his grandmother who was born a slave. he was a man of few words, but a man of action, responsibility and he did not give a long lecture about responsibility, but when it was my turn to cut the grass, for example, saturday morning, supposed to be out early cutting the grass, if -- and i have on a few occasions been caught laying in bed and i'd hear the lawn mower start and i'd look out the window and i'd see my father cutting the

grass that i was supposed to cut so he didn't have to give me a lecture about responsibility and shirking responsibility. he went out and said, you know, that there's a job that needs to be done and you can either take that responsibility and do it or somebody might have to do it for you and it's to your greater shame if it's your own father. >> so touching and the inspiration is never ending. i just saw a near home run i think right over here. the full 12-part series "jackie to me" is available in the espn app. and coming up here on "gma," someone else who inspires us, anthony anderson here live. talking about the finale of "black-ish."

[ laughter ]

this show, this show has been just amazing, man. >> yes. >> but i'm curious, what is your best memory or a memory you have from the first day you were on set to shoot in 2014? >> oh, my best memory is casting for the pilot and then shooting the pilot. one, because that laid the foundation for the next eight years but, you know, auditioning these young actors, these young children was truly amazing and to see what they've grown into over the last eight years, man, it's -- yeah. >> you've become a family. >> we did. we did. they spent more time with me as their television father than they've spent with, you know, their real parents and vice versa. i spent more time with them than my own children so we are truly a family. >> what's it been like to watch them grow up? you have worked with them since day one. >> i like to take credit for what they've become.

[ laughter ] i mean, everybody talks about marsai being the youngest producer in hollywood history, yeah, because of me. marsai wouldn't be where she is had i not plucked her out of obscurity. i want my 10%, girl. >> let's take a look at a clip. >> where are you guys moving? there is a little betting poll going on. i get extra points if it's atlanta. >> okay. >> the neighborhood is not going to be the same without you but there is something about that, right? >> these boxes are my parents'. hey're moving. >> so you definitely would say no to an all catch offer? >> we're not leaving, janine! >> is it going to be hard to leave it behind? >> it is. it s. right now we're taking our victory lap. we wrapped the show back in november and now, you know, we're doing the final promotion

of the finale episode. so it's a victory lap but had you spoken to me in november i would have been all tears, yeah, yeah. it's bittersweet. >> what was that, that final good-bye on the set like especially with your tv wife, with tracee ellis ross, you guys have been together for so long. >> yeah, it was very emotional. you know, and more emotional than i thought it was going to be because, you know, we had time to gear up to that final day and i was like, oh, i got it. i kept it together but on that final day it was the final scene and tracee and i and it was our last rehearsal before we went before the cameras and i could not keep it together. yeah. >> waterworks. >> yeah, it was. i'm getting a little teary-eyed right now to think about it. >> was it an ugly cry or -- [ laughter ] >> it became an ugly cry in my trailer once i got out of sight then i came back, i'm ready. let's go, let's go! go! [ laughter ] >> i'm sure there's so many

great memories from the show over the eight years but we hear one of your favorite memories had nothing to do with the show at all. >> had nothing to do with it show? >> yeah, something about teeth. >> i was the tooth fairy for these little kids, man. marsai and miles let me pull their teeth. so i got to pull teeth -- i ws truly their television dad. i was like come here, man. let me get that -- pow! >> the whole string on the door? >> we did it all. i thumped some out. i yanked some out. i didn't use pliers like my daddy did with me but i was able to thump some out and pull some out. >> what's the going rate for the tooth fairy on a television set? >> hit me hard. it was like 25 bucks a tooth. >> how about a johnson family reunion? >> yeah, i'm all for it and already planted the seed so we'll see. we would like to do it -- i would like to do it as a movie, yeah, and not a television show

nd, you know, the johnson family vacation. >> that would be fun. >> that's what i'm looking forward towards. >> this show was really ground breaking. what do you consider the show's ? h wmothe culture unity and conversation nge, about difficult topics that we all live with, you know, racism, colorism, any other ism that you can think of. you know, we dealt with some things that, you know, people weren't dealing with in primetime television. you know, postpartum depression, you know, politics, again, racism and all that. so i think that's what our lasting legacy will be. how we created change, pushed the culture forward and forced people to have a conversation about uneasy topics. >> you have definitely kept it real for eight years. >> listen to george. you definitely kept it real, bro.

we are back with our april "gma" book club pick, "lessons in chemistry" by bonnie garmus. it's an instant "new york times" best-seller. deborah roberts sat down with the author. hey, deb. >> hey there, george. imagine just imagine being a writer who spent about five years perfecting your first novel then hitting the jackpot. that's bonnie garmus' life now. her compelling tale of a bold

and barrier breaking female chemist who finds a creative way to fight sexism has sparked a hot reaction that surprised even the author. the 1960s, a time when a woman was praised more for her brisket than her brains. it's a narrative that elizabeth zott, the brilliant scientist at the center of "lessons in chemistry" challenges one lasagna at a time. >> i wanted this outsider to come in and make women realize how capable they were because i think that generation felt very incapable. women aren't less capable and they never have been. >> reporter: i met bonnie garmus at the new york hall of science to discuss the elements she experiments with in her instant best-seller. >> to have your debut novel published after, eh, 60 years old but how long have you been sitting on this idea? >> elizabeth zott had been a minor character in a novel i started previously. but she suddenly reappeared to

me one day and i started writing the book then. >> it's hard to believe that you don't have some background in chemistry. >> that was probably one of the tougher parts. i bought a book off ebay, a science book, a textbook from the 1950s and i taught myself very basic chemistry. >> reporter: when her main character's groundbreaking work as a chemist is underestimated, she trades her lab coat for an apron to star in "supper at 6," a cooking show where salt is sodium chloride and like a bunson burner she ignites a flame amongst a generation of frustrated women. >> turning to her audience and saying, you already know how to cook. let's teach you something harder. let's make you chemists so you begin to understand your world and yourself at a molecular level so you really understand what you're made of. and i think that was the empowerment women needed to hear. >> where did you get this idea of this feminist before we even used the term feminist in the '50s and '60s?

>> i wrote it because i had come from a medium where i endured some pretty common sexism and for some reason that day i just couldn't shake it off and so i naturally put it in that time period because i needed reassurance that we have moved forward. you know, i have heard from a lot of women and i think it's very universal that women continue to face a lot of sexism in the workplace or home. elizabeth is somebody who speaks out against that. >> reporter: with a young daughter and beloved rescue dog by her side, elizabeth is about to hit the real tv screen with an oscar winning actress set to executive produce and star. >> to have brie larson star and be elizabeth and have that much confidence in her, i have no complaints. >> reporter: now garmus hopes contemporary women will see themselves in her beloved character too. >> elizabeth inspires people because she says, you know what, we change all the time.

if you think you really can't change the status quo, you're not understanding chemistry. use chemistry as your guide and let's make some serious changes in the world. >> a message that's so relevant. it is being cast and expected to come out next year when bonnie will be finishing her next book. by the way, we had so much fun teaming up with little free library to get copies of "lessons in chemistry" all over the country and we love getting the smiling faces of all those happy readers who managed to get one so some of you can keep looking for little free library. you might be able to get one too. >> so excited about this. we are also excited. anthony anderson is sticking around to help us get ready for easter and somebody to help us prepare, dan pelosi or as we like to call him grossy pelosi as he's known to his followers. >> it's easter, so i want to throw a lot of bad puns in.

dan and anthony, we're so hoppy to have you here. and, dan, then you have some egg-cellent hacks and recipes. >> you crack me up. >> ooh! i get it. >> all right. moving on, moving on. >> you keeping it real. stephanopoulos, where you at? >> okay, we all know cooking brunch for a crowd can be hard. how do we do it, but keep it simple? >> not all food needs to be piping hot. serve some room temperature or cold even and you can do it ahead and make it super easy. that's my number one sort of overall tip. >> pro tip. >> you can't have easter without the eggs so let's get it cracking. [ laughter ] >> i find that making eggs for a crowd can be really difficult so we're going to make a breakfast sandwich bar and we are going to make a sheet pan fritata. that will give you gorgeous,

fluffy pieces of fritata. who is going to whisk for me? >> a. >> while you're whisking i'll add a little cream, i'll add some fresh eggs or fresh herbs. >> that's herbs. are you on an herb right now? >> we can talk about that later. ♪ >> i'm not making the bad puns around here. so we'll take that and then what you'll do is pour that into a nice buttered sheet pan and then you'll bake it for about 15 to 20 minutes. right before it's done toss cheese on it, gorgeous and slice it up into squares and serve this room temperature. you can heat it up before you serve it or make it ahead and freeze it. >> a few eggs in there. >> there you go. >> maybe we should. >> yeah, right. >> 16 eggs scrambled. two hole and you're good to go. >> all right. there you go, your frittata. >> i love this idea for a big crowd. sandwich bar, do it yourself.

>> i think breakfast sandwiches are everyone's favorite and love giving people the option to customize. all can be put out ahead and go do hair and make-up before your guests arrived centered around a eastern ham which we love. >> what pig did that come from or did that some from a wild boar? >> that's a big ham. >> that is a big shank. >> i thought you made that. that wasn't you? >> no. >> we have some really great pickled things like onions and peppers, avocado, bacons, real easy sauces like honey mustard or herby mayo. >> did you say bacons? i think you pluralized bacon. >> then we have different bread and you're good to go. >> different sandwiches right there and -- >> got to have something sweet. >> we have to have something sweet. >> my favorite. >> shortcut. >> this is my mom's carrot cake which i've been eating my whole life. the ultimate hack. save your nails and knuckles when making it so we'lluse baby

food. instead of fresh carrots. so you take all these ingredients, put them into the bowl stir it up, the baby food makes it extra moist and flavorful and it'll last for days. >> what about the frosting? >> the frosting, so my queen ina garten says store bought is fine so store bought is fine. so i have a cream cheese frosting recipe but because of all the hacks, cream cheese frosting from the store so we can get that. >> anthony looks like a man who needs carrot cake. >> you notice that the barefoot contessa is never barefoot when she's cooking. >> what website did you find that out? >> you have to have a piece yourself. >> i think we have -- >> using baby food does make it moist. >> what do you think? >> this is good. i was worried when he said his mama used gerber's but it's all good. >> make sure all the babies are fed and get your baby food. >> we love it. everybody, scan the qr code on

your screen or go to goodmorningamerica.com to get all the recipes. >> before that -- >> we got a special guest. surprise. let's see. >> oh! >> there we go. >> wouldn't be easter without it. >> that's the happy easter bunny. >> hard to do with thumbs. >> something wrong with that bunny's gate. let's go over to ginger. >> that hop has something going on. maybe it was those fresh herbs. a classic sign of spring for everybody. everything dusted in pollen. this segment sponsored by zyrtec and that is what was captured in houston, texas. melissa took this photo of her car saying, yeah, that's springtime in houston. well, now it is grass, along with trees that are responsible for the high pollen counts in the south because it has been not just creeping but racing north with warmer spring temps and winds, my goodness, will blow it into your eyes or face. tweet your pollen photos @ginger, underscore, zee. let's get a
