villarreal is starting us off this morning. good morning, mireya. >> reporter: it was eerie as we drove into seminole. here's why, because there is no electricity in the entire area. there are downed power lines everywhere. the only way you're able to see me, there are emergency generators that are set up for local law enforcement to continue to patrol here. if you look right behind me you can see the businesses took a huge hit. there is glass everywhere, debris scattered. those cars completely damaged. as of right now local leaders are telling us it will be a slow process to assess the damage later, and also to start the clean-up. this morning, widespread devastation in oklahoma and texas with eight reported tornadoes tearing apart the region. violent twisters sprawling across the states overnight. one ripping through the city of seminole and taking out much of its power. officials reporting significant

damage to structures. objects barely identifiable inside these demolished trailers. this school torn to pieces. roofs pulled off homes. trees uprooted. debris stretching across the streets. these buildings reduced to rubble. >> there's a large path of damage. there are power lines down. there are reports of gas leaks, things like that so there's a lot of things that we have to look over and check for. >> reporter: another tornado in maude hitting a nearby farm. a similar scene in northeast texas, six tornadoes reported in the state. powerful winds pulling dirt and debris into this funnel cloud near crawwell. there's widespread flooding in parts of arkansas and oklahoma. later today there will be more assessment of the damage. there will be severe weather coming through. the only silver lining, as of right now, law enforcement is

saying there are no reported deaths attributed to this latest set of storms. michael? >> all right, mireya, thank you so much. we'll bring in ginger to tell us where the storm threat is headed next. good morning, ginger. >> goo morning to you all. if it feels like we've had a busy season, we have. we have not done this in quite a while. this number through march, a record number of tornadoes then and we're going to have more today. so lockett, texas, one of the other perspectives from a storm chaser as they were getting out and away. now i want to show you this low pressure system. you have that cold front. that's what will produce storms. today the main threat is damaging winds. from little rock to say, austin, dallas and shreveport and tomorrow up to richmond, virginia, so a big area that will have to look for severe storms. george? >> okay, ginger. we'll get the latest from the bombshell leak at the draft supreme court opinion that will overturn roe v. wade. new security fencing went up around the court last night as the political debate intensifies and the court's top security

official launches an investigation into the leak. senior national correspondent terry moran is tracking it all. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. take a look for a moment at this eight-foot security fence and going up all around the court. i've been coming here for decades. i've never seen the court locked down like this. just across the street here, same kind of fencing put up around the capitol after january 6th. it's a sign of how deep and sharp the divisions in this country are that have been deepened and sharpened by the leak of that supreme court opinion. president biden echoes legal scholars on the left is warning that the leaked supreme court draft opinion that would overturn roe versus wade could be just the beginning of the rollback of rights. >> what happens if you have states change the laws saying that children who are lgbtq can't be in classrooms with other children? is that legit under the way that the decision is written? >> reporter: biden says the followers of former president

donald trump will push republicans to go further using some of the toughest political language of his presidency. >> because this maga crowd is really the most extreme political organization that's existed in american history, in recent american history. >> reporter: on capitol hill, senator lisa murkowski one of two republican senators who support abortion rights now says she's open to seeing changes the democrats might make to a bill that would protect abortion rights at the federal level. senate democrats plan to hold a vote next week on that legislation but that bill is a long shot, unlikely to gain enough republican votes to pass. [ crowd chanting ] all this as the investigation into the leak gets under way. who did it and why? chief justice john roberts has directed the marshal of the court to lead the probe. colonel curley is a senior attorney in the united states army and served in afghanistan and germany in that capacity.

she manages about 200 people here, but she is not normally tasked with complex investigations. she has the option of calling in the fbi at the request of chief justice roberts. he hasn't done that. her most famous job, anyone who's ever visited the court, knows she is the one that opens every session with that famous cry oyez, oyez, oyez, and bangs the gavel. george? >> terry moran, thanks very much. robin? now we have the latest on the war in ukraine. russian forces stepping up attacks on that last stronghold in the besieged city of mariupol and on critical ukrainian infrastructure. senior foreign correspondent ian pannell is on the scene there for us in ukraine. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, robin. no major land advances by the russians but ukrainian officials say they do expect russia to launch a major offensive from three directions in the coming days, but for now, as you say, it isn't the issue of what's going on on the land but it's those attacks from the air.

this morning, russia escalating attacks on critical infrastructure throughout ukraine. images circulating online show a strike on a railway bridge in the city of dnipro in the east many of the attacks targeting supply lines and facilities used to store and transport u.s. and other nato weapons, as well as basic supplies. military aid now arriving in ukraine at an incredible pace according to the pentagon. and this morning, more details on u.s. intelligence assistance to ukraine. "the new york times" reporting on a classified biden administration effort to provide realtime battlefield intelligence, including anticipated russian troop movements, russia's secret battle plan for donbas and locations for russian mobile headquarters. according to "the times" ukrainian officials are using that information and other intelligence to launch targeted strikes that have killed multiple senior russian officers. but american officials stressing to abc news the u.s. isn't providing intelligence on russian generals specifically. in mariupol, massive explosions

seen in this undated video released by pro-russian forces at the besieged steel plant. russian troops now breaking through ukrainian defenses and they're on the grounds of the plant. ukrainian fighters set to make a final stand as up to 200 civilians shelter there. and across the country ukrainian officials accuse russia of missile terrorism. at least 25 civilians were injured in a missile attack by russians in the east of the country today according to local officials and in the east officials releasing this video showing an explosion near a bus stop killing at least ten people. and new footage of a children's amusement park in kharkiv struck by a missile on tuesday. we filmed the aftermath. we're at the scene of one of the bombings inside kharkiv. this is gorky park. this was a children's playground. there was a beer garden, photo booth, even a child's

playground. luckily there was no one playing here at the time. back reclaiming villages outside of kharkiv pushing russian troops back ever closer to their own border. russia says it's conducting more military exercises in belarus to the north. the president of that country is saying he's trying to bring about peace, although there's no evidence of that. i think it's fair to say we're firmly in the second phase of this conflict with ukraine braced for that russian attack. michael? now to new covid concerns this morning. for the first time in months two key indicators are projected to rise at the same time. trevor ault is live outside a hospital here in new york with more for us this morning. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. yeah, it appears we're entering yet another worrying upswing for the first time in months, covid-19 hospital admissions and deaths are both expected to increase and, in fact, some of these numbers we're already seeing climbing. over the past two weeks e.r. visits have jumped 44% and even just in the past week infections are up 27% and we still think those numbers are being underreported. and now fda officials believe

the new normal as we've been thinking could be the possibility is just going to be annual covid-19 booster shots every year just like we do for the flu. moderna officials are already expecting we're probably going to need another booster shot this fall out of fear for more omicron subvariants as the virus continues to spread, michael. >> definitely continues to spread. and, trevor, we're seeing more cruise ship outbreaks. >> reporter: yeah, we're back to those news and those kind of stories, michael. people aboard a carnival cruise ship in the pacific ocean say more than 100 people tested positive. a lot are in quarantine in seattle hotels, but we've got to note the difference here and that is that carnival cruise lines says that there were no serious health issues with this outbreak. they said a few people had symptoms, but people were asymptomatic and most of the numbers do appear to be calming but we're not out of this yet. michael? >> definitely a difference, thank you so much, trevor. george? now to that violent attack on comedian dave chappelle

during a performance at the hollywood bowl. we're learning more about the attackers. new video shows him climbing the stage and kaylee hartung has the latest. good morning, kaylee. >> reporter: hey, good morning, george. nearly as fast as the attacker rushed the stage at the hollywood bowl he was taken down by security. now, we don't know how he pulled this off or why he did it, but we could soon learn more as he's headed to court this morning. this morning, 23-year-old isaiah lee, identified as the man seen here tackling comedian dave chappelle in the middle of his tuesday night set at the hollywood bowl. >> suspect is armed with a gun and a knife. >> reporter: lee taken into custody and held for a felony assault with a deadly weapon.o his replica handgun containing a knife blade. >> ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for hip-hop history. >> reporter: video obtained by tmz capturing the moment the suspect climbed on stage. >> it was surreal. for a moment we didn't know if this was part of the show, if something was happening that was planned. we weren't sure if it was real. >> reporter: abc news producer stephanie wash was attending the

netflix is a joke festival with chappelle headlining. security running on stage. >> i am going to kill that [ bleep ]. >> reporter: chasing the suspect behind the big screen. >> he's back there getting stomped. >> reporter: chris rock who also performed joining chappelle on stage moments later. >> was that will smith? >> reporter: several celebrities including elon musk and jamie foxx who is seen in this tmz video witnessing the chaos. >> this man is an absolute genius. we got to make sure we protect him at all times, man. >> reporter: with security checks at the gates it's unclear how lee was able to sneak the weapon inside. >> i had to open up my purse. they looked into my purse to see what was in there. there were people bringing in food and drinks and coolers, it seemed. so those things were being checked as well, but security semed normal. >> reporter: chappelle's rep releasing a statement saying, as unfortunate and as unsettling as the incident was chappelle went on with the show. and we're already seeing the

ripple effect of this scare. across entertainment venues in l.a., some adding metal detecters for the first time and putting plainclothes guards in the crowd to prevent anyone rushing the stage like this again. robin? >> we hope so. kaylee, thank you. now to the latest in that alabama jail break manhunt as the race to find the murder suspect and the corrections officer who helped him intensifies. we're learning new details about what authorities call the special relationship. eva pilgrim is there in florence, alabama, with more. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, robin. until last week, she was a model citizen, now she is accused of having a romantic relationship with an inmate she helped escape and authorities say that relationship has been going on for more than two years at multiple facilities. this morning, new details about te relationship between a jailhouse supervisor and a capital murder suspect, the couple now on the run for six days. >> a relationship did exist. to what extent and how long that relationship has gone on, i don't know that.

but definitely they are working together. >> reporter: investigators discovering the two had a special relationship that started when he was an inmate at the facility in 2020. the sheriff confirming the corrections officer visited casey white in state custody over the course of two years. authorities now looking through the two's communications. a nearly week-long nationwide manhunt for the pair. friday vicki white walking casey white out of the facility and putting him in the backseat of her patrol car before driving away. authorities say this gas station surveillance video shows the pair in the patrol car eight minutes after leaving jail en route to their getaway car. this newly purchased 2007 ford edge. >> are you worried about what happens when police finally find them? >> we are concerned. he is a violent criminal. he does have weapons and so we're absolutely concerned for the safety of law enforcement, for the public.

>> reporter: the veteran officer recently selling her home and four plus acres of land for just over $95,000 at auction. well below value. overnight a fellow corrections officer in the community, sherry brown, telling abc news that she is shocked by the events, but believe vicky was a goodas persd under enormous pressure. >> for us women you know it's really hard for us correction officers to keep these people in control and in line. >> reporter: the sheriff announcing that vicki white is no longer employed by his office. her retirement paperwork was not completed when she disappeared. michael? >> all right, eva, thank you. going to turn to the rock & roll hall of fame class of 2022. pat benatar, the eurythmics, duran duran, carly simon, lionel richie, eminem and of course, the one and only dolly parton. dolly initially hesitated about getting a spot in the class but now writing on social media, quote, i'm honored and humbled. of course i will accept it gracefully. thanks to everyone who voted for

her answer, and i quote, i will never forget it. it changed my life. >> i do. >> reporter: actress amber heard on the stand for the first time in her defamation battle against exhusband johnny depp. >> this is the most painful and difficult thing i've ever gone through. >> reporter: the "aquaman" actress accusing depp of physically and sexually abusing her, saying the relationship which started with passion turned to pain. >> he was also this other thing and that other thing was awful, awful thing that would come out and take over and it was -- you couldn't see the johnny i loved. >> reporter: alleging depp's mood fluctuated depending on his drink or drug of choice. >> johnny on speed is very different from johnny on opiates. johnny on opiates, very

different from adderall and cocaine johnny which is very different from quaaludes johnny. >> reporter: she claims the abuse started when she asked him about his infamous wino forever tattoo once, an ode to ex, winona ryder. heard saying depp struck her three times. >> i said what does it say? he said it says wino. i -- i didn't see -- i thought he was joking, because it didn't look like it said that at all and i laughed. it's that simple. i just laughed because i thought he was joking. he slapped me across the face. i just sat there thinking, how much time do i have till i figure out what i need to do because, god, did he just hit me? >> reporter: millions have followed every moment online and some are even making the trip to this virginia courthouse to watch the stars' legal clash

over a 2018 "washington post" op-ed in which heard labeled herself a public figure representing domestic abuse. depp was not named in that op-ed but he is suing for $50 million claiming his career suffered. heard countersued for $100 million claiming depp was abusive. allegations he denies. heard is going to be back on the stand today and people have been lining up outside the courthouse trying to get a seat inside. this involves two hollywood stars, but advocates for domestic abuse survivors are concerned about something like this playing out in front of millions and want to remind this is not for your entertainment. we are hearing very serious allegations of domestic violence, robin, and they're concerned about the impact it could have on domestic abuse survivors choosing to or not to come forward. >> thank you, t.j. holmes, for bringing that very important point up. we're going to bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams. we heard her on the stand. how important is her testimony? >> it's critical. when you talk about domestic abuse, remember, he is saying he's a victim of domestic abuse.

up to this point in the case he has testified -- he has said he never hit a woman in his entire life. he says he was the victim here. now we hear from amber heard on the witness stand who says, not only was she a victim of domestic abuse, but she was a victim multiple times. remember, as a legal matter, if these jurors believe even one, one instance of domestic abuse, they don't have to believe all of them, then i don't see how he possibly wins the case. it's a critical moment. >> she spoke about his alleged drug and alcohol abuse and you say it's relevant. >> it's incredibly important. if the jurors believe that he was so drunk or so high on drugs that maybe he doesn't remember, tat that could provide an answer for why does he think he didn't do it. and yet her testimony may seem credible and the jurors could say, well, you know what, he was so drugged out, he was so drunk all the time, maybe that provides an explanation. it also sort of sullies him up, right?

there is a lot of testimony about really bad behavior by johnny depp and that's not going to help him either in the guilt phase or if in somehow he wins this case in terms of damages. so the drug and alcohol very relevant for both those reasons. >> set the bar pretty high. they only have to convince the jurors of one incident. can johnny depp win this case? >> it's a hard case to win. as a legal matter and she made this point on the witness stand, she's like, i'm being sued here. she's the defendant here. it's not two people -- i mean she is countersuing him but in te context of this lawsuit she's the defendant here. he has to prove it's not true. as t.j. pointed ouhe sn'id that makes it another thing that makes this very difficult case for johnny depp to win. >> okay, dan abrams, thanks very much. we'll turn now to an urgent warning. authorities say there's been a sharp increase of thieves

targeting a critical car part. so our transportation correspondent gio benitez is here with more on that. a very specific crime. good morning, gio. >> reporter: absolutely, robin. good morning. this is a crucial part of the muffler system and it has those precious metals that are worth some big money. now this morning here the latest shocking theft caught on camera. brazen thieves stealing catalytic converters as 20 surveillance cameras look on. watch as this man in pompano beach, florida, gets under a landscaping truck and steals a converter in less than a minute. the thieves are seen taking off with 16 of them friday night, worth about $32,000. the owner of the company showing the damage. >> cut through here and cut through here and the unit dropped and they took off with it. >> reporter: the problem is nationwide. more than 52,000 converters were reported stolen in 2021. that's a shocking increase of 1,215% since 2019. in thousand oaks, california,

back in march this newly released video shows a police chase over converter thefts turning into an officer involved shooting. >> stop! stop! >> reporter: converters are made with precious metals like rhodium, which is now worth about $16,000 per ounce. >> because of world events and supply chain issues, the price of those has skyrocketed in recent years. >> reporter: vehicle history report company carfax showing us how quickly they're stolen. the company finding that bigger cars tend to be targeted for ease. they're also best-selling cars so more on the road -- the ford f series pickup trucks, jeep patriot, chevy silverado, the honda accord and toyota camry, also the prius because it has more precious metals. all right, some tips for you, look for a converter anti-theft device. several companies now make these. if you can, if you can, park your car in a garage. but if you don't have one of those go ahead and look for one of those well-lit driveways and if you can, install one of those

motion sensor lights. it may not prevent a theft but at the very least thieves will start thinking twice about it. guys? >> okay, gio, thanks very much. coming up, the mission to save the summer blockbuster. tom cruise copters into his new "top gun" premiere overnight and will maverick tand new marvel movie get people back into the theater? give me one of your mcnuggets... si quieres un mcnugget, just ask for it. ay... did i say that or did i think it?
