7:04 am
from underground shelters in mariupol. roughly 100 civilians mainly women and children have been evacuated from the azovstal steel plant so far in a joint operation by the u.n. and red cross. some have been underground for weeks. the video released by the far right azov paramilitary group. shared by local ukrainian officials. president zelenskyy applauding the evacuation effort. [speaking foreign language] saying, for the first time in all the days of the war, this vital corridor has started working. these satellite images show parts of the steel plant completely destroyed over the course of the russian siege. and this video posted by a local official on sunday shows how devastated the city is. countless homes and buildings raised to the ground by weeks of bombing and now the russians ramping up attacks further across ukraine claiming to have hit 800 targets in just one day. including an airfield near odesa they claim was storing weapons shipped to ukraine from the united states and other western

7:06 am
start of the conflict the kremlin committed around 65% of all of its combat land forces. they now say that up to a quarter of those units have been rendered, quote, combat ineffective including some of those special forces. but that doesn't mean that the war for the people of kharkiv or the people of ukraine is going to end any time soon. george? >> ian pannell, thanks. we go to washington where president biden headlined this weekend's white house correspondents' dinner and poked some fun at himself. >> thank you, steve, for that introduction. and a special thanks to the 42% of you who actually applauded. [ laughter ] >> that joke a reference to his challenging poll numbers and our senior white house correspondent mary bruce joins us with the latest from our new poll. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. yeah, the president may be trying to laugh this off, but our latest poll with the "washington post" does show with six months to the midterms the president is facing a very real host of serious challenges. his approval rating is still underwater, just 42%, though, that is up 5 points since february thanks to his handling of the pandemic and ukraine. that is some welcome news for the white house but the economy and rising costs are still
7:07 am
driving voter discontent and frustration. 57% disapprove of biden's work on the economy more broadly. americans trusting republicans over democrats to handle inflation and the economy more generally. when it comes to the midterms months away, democrats are basically even with republicans on the projected ballot but that's probably not enough to save the democrats' majority in washington. the president now himself has admitted he needs to do a better job of getting out into the country, selling his accomplishments, touting to the american people the steps he is taking to try to improve the economy and, george, as you well know so much is going to depend come november how americans are really feeling about their own wallets as they head to the ballot. >> no question about that. the president's approval ratings have ticked up just a bit driven in part by his handling of ukraine. >> reporter: george, take a look. 42% of americans approve of the president's handling of the situation in ukraine. that is up 9 points since this war began and interestingly, two-thirds of americans support more economic sanctions against
7:08 am
russia. but, george, two-thirds are also concerned about how those sanctions are going to impact the rising costs of goods, of food, of gas, all prices going up here at home. george? >> inflation on everybody's minds. mary, thanks so much. t.j.? speaking of, we turn to record prices for diesel fuel this morning. they're at an all-time high and rebecca jarvis joins us now. rebecca, we are talking about an impact on almost all americans from everything from groceries to deliveries potentially. >> reporter: absolutely, t.j. good morning to you and when we talk about rising fuel prices we're often talking about gasoline, what we pay at the pump. that today is averaging $4.19 a gallon, but when you look at diesel prices, diesel fuel, they hit a new record high just this morning, $5.32 a gallon and diesel is incredibly important to the economy. it's known as the fuel that moves the economy because it's
7:09 am
the fuel that most the trucks use on the street across the country. the things carrying your groceries, your diapers, your necessities and when the cost for those truckers go up, all the costs go up on these various items that we are so reliant on as americans. so why is this happening? well, the same forces that have been driving up gasoline prices, the same forces that have been driving up other prices across the board are having an impact here. inventories are running light and what we've seen is that impact from russia, invasion of ukraine happening here as well. robin? >> all right, rebecca, thank you. such an impact for many. now to millions of people in the midwest bracing for a second round of severe weather. more than a thousand structures severely damaged when a tornado tore through kansas over the wekend. ginger will have the latest on the path of the storm, the new storm in just a moment. but first let's go to trevor ault in andover, kansas. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this collapsed home right here
7:10 am
is what house after house looks like here in andover. this was an unbelievably wicked storm. you mentioned a thousand plus structures and homes damaged, and they haven't even finished the assessments yet. if you look above you can get a better look at the remnants of this ef-3 tornado. this home had the garage collapse. other houses were toppled completely. it is staggering so are the unbelievable videos of this twister ripping through this community on friday. >> i'm in a tornado! >> reporter: this morning kansas is picking up the pieces after the region was ravaged by a weekend of severe weather. 18 tornadoes reported in the state on friday night alone including a devastating ef-3 tornado tearing through the wichita suburb of andover. this stunning drone video capturing the speed at which neighborhood after neighborhood were destroyed. winds up to 165 miles an hour wiping apart these houses in an instant. you can see the roofs flying off of homes, personal belongings,
7:11 am
debris, even water in the pipes pulled up into that massive funnel cloud. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: the ef-3 on the ground for more than 12 miles in the span of 21 minutes. >> it's really sad. i hate seeing my family cry because they lost everything. >> reporter: though miraculously nobody was directly killed by the twister and only four injuries were reported. though three students died in a car crash on their way back from storm chasing in kansas, all of them meteorology students at the university of oklahoma. in norman, the national weather service dedicating their evening weather balloon launch to the trio. with so much cleanup left to do, the weather conditions now are once again putting this region in the bull's-eye for potential tornadoes here in kansas as well as in oklahoma and in texas too. robin? >> all right, trevor, thank you. so tragic to hear about those three storm chasers. going to bring in ginger
7:12 am
with more on where the threat is right now. good morning, ginger. >> good morning to you, robin. andover, kansas, is in the enhanced level of severe today again. so they've got tornadoes coming at them, potentially damaging wind. what was happening just yesterday, that new storm, west texas, saw that dry land popping up some of the tornadic activity and then the lightning and the big hail. folks' windows, windshields were broken up. up to three inch, baseball size hail falling. today we are concerned about large hail but wichita down through oklahoma city, tulsa included, parts of missouri and arkansas all have to be on the lookout. robin? >> all right, ginger, thank you. george? now to an investigation into at least ten states reporting an increase in cases of severe hepatitis in children. will reeve has the latest. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, george. this morning, parents are on high alert for signs of hepatitis after clusters have been reported in children both here in the u.s. and abroad. there are fresh concerns about the growing hepatitis outbreak. at least ten states now reporting an alarming increase in severe cases of hepatitis. that's inflammation of the liver in children.
7:13 am
this is a little more than a week after the cdc's initial warning. in minnesota one of the latest places to see cases, two children have required liver transplants. one of them is still waiting and in wisconsin, they've issued a health alert with four cases reported including one death. researchers are desperate to find the cause and say symptoms to watch out for include fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, joint pain and jaundice and it's suspected that adino viruses could be the cause. that's a group of viruses that typically cause respiratory illness. one of the nine patients who contracted hepatitis in alabama, five contracted the same kind of adino virus known as type 41. that could be a useful clue to researchers. george? >> will reeve, thanks. we get the latest on an air craft carrier crisis. the navy taking action to protect sailors after a cluster of suicides on the "uss george washington."
7:14 am
there are troubling reports about conditions aboard the warship. >> reporter: as early as today the navy will help relocate some 260 sailors off a massive aircraft carrier, the “uss george washington" after a rise in crew suicides and reports of terrible working conditions. the warship has been docked in virginia since 2017 for a major overhaul. but in the last year, seven sailors assigned to it have died, four of them apparent suicides. sailor xavier hunter-sandor was found unresponsive on the ship with a self-inflicted gunshot wound on april 15th. his parents tell us, the young man told them the conditions on the ship were bad, but they didn't know to what extent. >> this can't happen to any other sailors. it's not fair when these boys and girls sign up to enlist to serve their country, it's not fair. >> reporter: last week the navy's top enlisted leader telling sailors there is,
7:15 am
indeed, a problem, heard here in audio obtained by the military times. >> i understand that we still have a problem, and the department has been focusing on it, but the problem is beating suicide is like beating cancer. it's trying to -- there are many different cause, many different reasons. >> reporter: the navy says the death of any sailor is one too many and we will thoroughly investigate these incidents to ensure we are providing the appropriate support and resources to sailors at sea and in the shipyards. following the deaths, the navy says they put in place immediate mental health support including a psychologist and social worker to provide services to those on the ship. t.j.? >> all right, stephanie, thank you so much. we want to turn to that failed midair plane swap stunt. the lead pilot says he did ask the faa for permission to conduct the stunt. they told him, no, but he says he kept that quiet and went ahead and did it anyway. our transportation correspondent
7:16 am
gio benitez joins us now. gio, there's got to be consequences for this. >> reporter: oh, absolutely, t.j. good morning to you. yeah, listen, this pilot right now -- the faa warned this pilot that leaving the planes empty without a pilot would create a serious safety risk and that is exactly what happened and as you said, that lead pilot is now taking responsibility. over the weekend the pilot behind the failed plane swap streamed live on hulu apologizing for ignoring the faa after the stunt ended in a plane crash. >> diving. >> reporter: one of the planes losing control during the planned freefall as the two pilots tried to swap planes in midair. one making it into the other plane. the other forced to use a parachute. in a statement pilot in charge luke aikins acknowledged receiving the denial from the faa just days before saying, a
7:17 am
specific exemption was not granted and i made the personal decision to move forward with the plane swap. i regret not sharing this information with my team and those who supported me. now this weekend aikins is posting this never before seen video of their last rehearsal. watch as aikins and his cousin andy farrington jump out of the planes and successfully swap in midair. aikins told the faa these rehearsals had backup pilots on board. the faa said the planes could not be empty at any point during the stunt. red bull, the event sponsor telling abc news, luke has been entirely upfront and honest about his responsibility in this matter. we look forward to his continued friendship. hulu, which abc's parent company disney has a majority stake, has not commented. and the faa tells us now this morning this investigation is well under way. aikins says he's cooperating. we don't know what he could face but know the faa can revoke or suspend a pilot certificate.
7:18 am
they can also fine a pilot. so we will have to wait and see, guys. >> and we will do just that, gio. thank you. in the meantime, we turn to the nba playoffs. steph curry and the warriors, a one-point win over the grizzlies even with draymond green being ejected late in the second quarter and george is looking at me because the bucks versus boston, one of our favorite names to see here at "gma" -- >> giannis antetokounmpo. >> reported his second career playoff triple double. now the bucks franchise leader. the all-star had a stellar self-alley-oop. >> it never gets old. >> no, it doesn't. we can beat something. we're following a lot of headlines. naomi judd, when we heard the stunning news over the weekend, i was just on the floor. coming up -- coming one day before she was to be inducted into the country music hall of fame. what her daughters, wynonna and ashley, said at the ceremony last night. >> that is ahead. but first back to ginger. >> thank you, robin. good morning, everyone. it was a distressing start as advertised in new mexico to the

the mls and the nfl. all three stars want to change that. >> she got it. >> reporter: like ucla senior natalie cho. >> it wasn't until i made the usa basketball team, everyone across the nation is trying out for this usa team and i am one of the very few asian girls out here and so that really woke me up. >> reporter: the texas born star learned to hoop from her mom who played professionally in china. growing up cho faced doubters based on her race. >> we would walk by teams about to play, oh, i got the asian girl. i let my game speak for itself. >> reporter: these days no one wants to guard the 6'1" bruin including her mom. >> i can't play one-on-one with her anymore. i have to be careful. >> got the space and scored. >> reporter: new jersey native
8:24 am
sean davis is lighting up the field. >> sean davis. >> reporter: first with the red bulls, where he was team captain and now with nashville. his mother lynn is japanese. many don't realize his asian roots so davis has tried to fix that. >> when i think about my instagram handle or my twitter handle, i think it's really important for me to include my middle name so different asian kids around the world can see that there is an asian presence in mls. >> do little asian boys and girls come up to you at games? >> yeah, without a doubt. >> reporter: the atlanta falcons younghoe koo was born in south korea and only introduced to the sport after he moved to the u.s. at age 12. >> i think it's cool to be in this position to kind of share my story and be able to inspire the younger kids, like, hey, if i'm doing it, i didn't know what football was in middle school. >> reporter: the 27-year-old kicker one of the nfl's best drilling three game-winning kicks this past season. >> i really believe no matter what i look like, if my talent
8:25 am
and if my skill level is good enough, football doesn't know who is kicking it. >> the atlanta falcons pulled it out. >> reporter: all three say they're not just playing for themselves hoping others follow in their footsteps. >> when i was growing up, when i'm watching the nfl games, like there wasn't nobody that looked like me, you know, so i felt like that would be cool if, you know, i could be that guy. >> i think now more than ever representation is so important. >> i just hope that after meeting me they feel inspired to touch a soccer ball or to try a team sport. >> reporter: and they told us they didn't have asian american athletes to look up to growing up. they're hoping to be that for the kids watching today. >> we're not done with eva. momma will be back with you shortly. >> a little something special. momma is in the house to honor asian american, native hawaiian, and pacific islander heritage month, a long month. mother's day as well and brought
8:26 am
my mom to show off one of my favorite family recipes. if you know me and my mom, you know we like to have fun. she's a little crazy but we love it. >> i hear she's a heck of a tennis player. >> quite a good tennis player, back in the day she was really good. she's still better than me. >> look forward to seeing you both shortly. we're right back, folks.
8:27 am
>> let us get to a look at the traffic. >> we are going to start with a live look at the toll plaza, this is our big story this morning, we have seen the backup continue because last night a big rig crashed into one of the tollbooths, destroyed it. lane 13 is going to be shut down. we see how that impacts your morning commute and walnut creek, southbound traffic on 680 is slowing down, we have a crash

took office, he dissolved the unit and stopped me from collaborating with the police on my cases. now home and car break-ins are on the rise because repeat offenders know they can get away with it. chesa boudin is failing to do his job. there's a better way to keep san francisco safe. recall chesa boudin now. >> >> we have a storefront, dance with me and we kickoff mothers day, we will see you then. >> winds are building,
8:30 am
temperatures are in the 50's, blustery today, only in the 50's downtown to near 70 inland. >> we will have another update in 30 minutes. people always ask who's my favorite guest on the program and meaning no disrespect to any man or woman on the show my favorite is an amphibian. >> so good to be invited to the show. i love everybody here. it's a great experience to do "good morning america." no, i mean it. [ applause ] a frog can't be sincere? thank you. >> the legendary, legendary charlie gibson talking to his all-time -- >> legendary kermit the frog. he's legendary. >> i was wondering how much i was going to be able to get out before you interrupted me. there was an over and under. >> just a miss piggy sit-in. >> kate, are you sure about this? are you sure about --
8:31 am
>> i have second thoughts every single day. every single day. >> well, charlie gibson, his daughter kate have got this new chapter they're starting and we're going to share that in just -- nope. we have a second before you -- no, we often say we've been gibsoned. >> i'm sitting here with a racing legend lewis hamilton, the formula 1 driver tied for the most titles of all time and he has one more than any other race driver in history. is it sir lewis now? >> yes. >> you were knighted in december. congratulations. that's a big deal is there thank you. >> do your friends give you a hard time. do you make them call you sir. >> no, just my dad. i don't make anybody call me -- my niece and nephew call me sir uncle.
8:32 am
>> sir uncle, that's good. >> it's a huge privilege in the uk, but i don't really notice it too often. >> well, congratulations nonetheless, good to have you back with us. you're not just in town but the country because formula 1 coming to miami for the first time. >> first time. >> now, what is this scene going to be like in miami coming up. >> nerve-racking because it's going to be such a huge event for us. we obviously have the race in austin, texas, which is always amazing first race i had out here what indianapolis in 2007 but now with the netflix series "drive to survive" growing, now we have this, two grand prixs in the states and another one in vegas next year so it's going to be huge. >> now, has formula 1 now -- you talked before about just trying to kind of crack into the u.s. market in some way. is it here now? >> i think so because i've been coming out for a long, long time
8:33 am
but never quite understood why people weren't into formula 1, were in nascar and obviously such huge sporting fans out here but this as i said this netflix show took me through the pandemic and has brought massive awareness to the sport and now it's booming. >> and you have an initiative to bring diversity to driving. only black driver in formula 1. still, i believe, and certainly only one who won a championship. what have you seen as the ba barriers to getting more diversity into the sport as you've been researching this. >> it's been quite a lonely journey. me and my family, only black family. i've been racing for 29 years, i'm 37 now but i've been professional for 16 years. but always most often being the only person of color in the room and when i would ask the question, there was no real great feedback answer to that so i started the hamilton commission, and it starts with understanding and put together this body of research to understand what the barriers are
8:34 am
and found there are not only in our industry, which we have over 40,000 jobs but only 1% come from black backgrounds but there are real systemic issues within the educational system as well, so with the hamilton commission now starting a mission which i funded myself to try to create more representation and support and an empowerment for these underserved groups. >> again, like you say you've been a professional some 16 years and still to this day you're the only -- your family is the only black family involved. >> the goal is for me, i realize there's only so many formula 1 drivers. there's not a huge way of accessing that but as i said there's 40,000 jobs so engineer, mechanics, you know, marketing, there are so many incredible jobs in the background and just even my team, for example, you
8:35 am
know, two years ago there was only 3% -- 2,000 people and only those and improving that. ing - >> talk about challenges here. you drive a car, 200 miles an hour, but that's not enough of a thrill. what is this skydiving thing what are you doing, man? >> i'm just doing -- i don't know. just living life. >> why? my man, why? >> what can i say? i love the freedom of it, you know. the freedom of falling and just letting go of your -- of any fear that you have and then -- just living? >> how much of this have you done? >> i think this is like in around 80. >> around 80. >> yeah. >> lewis. >> it's not a lot when you speak to other -- >> oh, my goodness. okay, the car going around 200 miles an hour, it's not enough, guys. he'll jump out a perfectly good airplane. lewis, we are fans of yours and watching you in your journey for a long time and like you said it looks like formula 1 maybe has cracked the code in the u.s. "gma" will be live in miami
8:36 am
starting friday before the big race weekend so you can tune in to the miami grand prix sunday 3:00 eastern right here on abc. lewis, my man, it is so good to have you in the studio. good luck this weekend. >> appreciate it. coming up here, we're going to get gibsoned one more time. he and his daughter kate are here in times square. stay with us. ♪

[ laughter ] no, but she was very gracious. >> i think she thought it would be good for her career. [ laughter ]
8:40 am
i think it was. i think it was. i think it gave her a boost. >> oprah is going to take off but that podcast has been -- they say a podcast gets dropped -- i didn't know that word. posted, it's on -- as we say, as we say you can find it wherever free podcasts are sold. >> first tease of the morning. remember when your dad first called me about it, tell me where the idea came from. >> i left my job in public television in september of 2019. not knowing that the world was going to literally stop turning three months later, so i was interviewing everywhere, i was taking care of two kids who were suddenly home all the time and i decided i was going to cross books off my bucket list and that was really how we connected during the pandemic and i missed him. i couldn't see him. so i missed him and my husband, who is our producer david canada said i have a bunch of gear and your conversations are oddly compelling. those were the words he used.
8:41 am
[ laughter ] and -- >> emphasis on the oddly. >> on the oddly then he said what if i put some gear together and we do a podcast, i said don't be silly. there's a trillion podcasts out there and we're old. he said, don't be silly yourself and he bothered me for about a year before we made a pilot. >> she called and said would you do a podcast and i said sure then i called her back an hour later and said, what's a podcast? >> it took you an hour. >> it did not take him an hour. >> when you were here, literature, literature, your eyes always have -- they light up. >> i think my favorite interviews on this program, two categories, one, country music people who are wonderful interviews and, two, authors. and authors, even though it's a rather solitary profession and they sit in a room and write, they're grate talkers. don't you think? >> oh, absolutely. you introduced me to john irving. >> and pat conroy became friends
8:42 am
because i love their writing. pat is gone now but he was terrific and always a great guest. >> who is your ideal guest now. >> i would love to talk to stephen king. he's my favorite writer. >> always great when he's on here. >> i think i've read everything he's ever written. he was my favorite writer growing up so i think that made my parents worry about where i was mentally. if we could get him on the show, i would pant a little. >> he wrote a terrific book which both kate and i revere called "on writing." >> oh, yeah. >> about how to write and it's very, very instructive. >> are you going to white a book? >> since you're a cottage industry now. >> no, i knew ali wentworth going to her book party. >> her book comes out next week. you can have her on the podcast. >> ali has a new book coming out? >> yeah. >> whoo. >> whoo.
8:43 am
>> have you ever thought about writing a book? >> you know, for 40 years i never wrote anything longer than a minute 40 for television and mark halperin my political editor for a long time said write 200 minute 40s which is an interesting way of approaching things but honestly people would say, give us a real lowdown on diane sawyer. tell us the real lowdown on joan lunden. i'm not going to do that although there's a lot to tell. [ laughter ] >> now i'm going to have to call diane. thank you, charlie. >> diane, don't call. don't call. >> also on the podcast -- >> but, robin, i could have really done -- >> no, no. don't you all have like some lightning round questions or things you ask each person. >> we do and want to ask you some of these. george, the most influential book in your life. >> i'll come at this sideways of the it's actually a book
8:44 am
"ulysses" by james joyce but not because of the book but because of the professor that taught it. wallace gray and he taught us how to read that book in a way that influenced how i read every other book. >> wow. >> god bless you because i had three weeks of "ulysses." >> no, but it was really the way it was taught was amazing. >> how about you? >> um, it's a daily devotional "streams in the desert." i have my grandmotherary copy and so to see her handwriting in the margins knowing what that particular devotion meant to her where she was in her life, so i know not technically a book but impacted and influential in my life. >> i'm disappointed you haven't put your glasses on. i thought that was going to be a gibson moment but that's okay. favorite character in literature? >> ooh, i hadn't thought of that one. >> favorite character? >> harry potter?
8:45 am
