further action by the mental health officials, the police or courts. illinois has among the most strict gun laws in the nation but those laws require someone to enter an incident into the system and that apparently did not happen. it's clear when he went to buy those alleged weapons, no red flags flashed. >> pierre, this new bipartisan gun bill that president biden just signed into law wouldn't have made a difference either? >> reporter: no, because if the red flags did not stop him from buying guns, what will? the flags that happened here fell through the cracks, plain and simple. george? >> pierre thomas, thanks very much. t.j.? we turn to the latest in the war in ukraine. advanced weapons arriving on the battlefield and possibly already making a difference in the fight against russian forces. our foreign correspondent james longman is on the seen in ukraine. james, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, t.j. the fight for the east of ukraine is all about hitting targets at a distance, himars these are long-range weapons provided by the united states, are now here in the fight.

first to be able to see these weapons being deployed. this morning, a special inside look at the new u.s. weapons now arriving in ukraine. >> himars are some of their most highly valued weapons. they're terrified of the russians finding out where they are. in the wide open spaces of this country ukrainian forces used these woods for cover. these are the rockets being loaded on to the u.s. himars high artillery rocket systems, the weapons that ukraine says it making all the difference in the war for the reason they fly further than anything ukraine has in its artillery. the other important detail is that they're truck mounted which means once they're fired these guys can move. [speaking foreign language] we can use them to find targets that no other weapon can get to this himars commander tells me. we hit ammunition stores. this as video circulating online shows a massive explosion at a russian ammunition depot in donetsk. ukrainian officials say they struck it on sunday.

russian officials say u.s. provided himars used in this attack part of the battle for the donbas where russian forces have claimed control of luhansk. the fighting there fierce as ukrainian forces try to fend off russia as it looks to take the rest of the donbas. key ukrainian-held cities in the region coming under attack. russian missiles destroying a local market. kremenchuk facing intense shelling as russian forces move in. as you heard there vladimir putin has taken luhansk, one-half of the donbas region, and now has donetsk in his sights and the ukrainians will be hoping these himars weapons will be able to better defend that region. robin? >> that is the hope, james, thank you. we turn to good news at the gas pump. prices are finally starting to fall. americans hitting the road have seen a steady decline. but how long will the price break last? our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis joins us with more. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, robin. and that is the question on

people's minds after these 21 days where we've now seen prices fall. the national average this morning $4.77, down about 9 cents over the last week. if you look across the country, about 80% of the stations are now below $5 a gallon. this is all because prices of oil have also come down. now below $100 a battle. we've seen that demand really destroyed. people choose to drive less when they see prices where they are and that's exactly what we've seen and it's not just oil prices that are lower but commodities. cotton, copper, lumber, they are all decreasing. that lumber, by the way, if you're trying to build a house much better deals on lumber prices so good news for you there as well. however, the issue is this question of whether or not we're facing a slowdown or a recession and, robin, that's part of what's also hitting prices here. if we have a recession, if we move in that direction you're also going to see oil prices likely fall as well.

>> that will be likely. but for people, rebecca, who are trying to figure out if they should maybe fill up today or wait until the weekend in case prices drop even more, what are you hearing? >> reporter: so, gas buddy tells us this morning, robin, that prices should fall in the coming weeks between 40 and 65 cents but there are certain days of the week where you want to fill up for the best deal. the best day of the week, according to gus buddy, monday. second best, sunday. when you don't want to fill up, wednesday and thursday. that's when it gets more expensive. >> we will definitely keep all of that in mind, rebecca. thank you. george? we get the latest on the investigation into former president trump's attempts to overturn the election in georgia. seven of his allies have now been subpoenaed including rudy giuliani and senator lindsey graham. rachel scott is tracking the case. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning. this is a significant step in the criminal investigation. that special grand jury in georgia is moving closer to the former president issuing a new round of subpoenas to some of his closest allies including

lawyers rudy giuliani and john eastman who pedalled trump's false claims about a stolen election, senator lindsey graham, as well as other members of the trump campaign legal team. this investigation was launched after trump made that infamous phone call to the georgia secretary of state asking him to find enough votes to help him reverse joe biden's victory in georgia. we are also learning this morning the special grand jury is looking into two phone calls that senator lindsey graham also made to the georgia secretary of state allegedly asking him about rejecting absentee ballots. this is a claim that senator lindsey graham denies. his office is not responding to our request for comment this morning. important to note here that this special grand jury in georgia is unique. it can investigate. it will issue a report but any further action including pursuing potential indictments will be left up to the district attorney. george? >> that's right. of course, this all comes as the doj is intensifying its investigation and the january 6th committee has their next hearing next week. rachel scott, thanks very much.

t.j.? turning to wimbledon now. we've been enjoying some great tennis, but we have some controversy now. this guy, nick kyrgios set to play a quarterfinal match this morning, just a day after court proceedings were announced in his native australia on accusations he assaulted an ex-girlfriend. lara has made her way to wimbledon. she is there now. good morning to you, lara. >> reporter: good morning, t.j. as we begin day ten here at wimbledon, nick kyrgios has already been fined twice at this tournament alone and as he prepares to take the court in just a little bit the question today is whether this new off-court allegation will force wimbledon to take further action. this morning, new controversy surrounding tennis star nick kyrgios. the 27-year-old facing allegations he assaulted a former girlfriend late last year. an attorney for kyrgios telling abc news, quote, at the present time the allegations are not considered as fact by the court and mr. kyrgios is not considered charged with an offense until the first appearance.

the flashy aussie native known for his over-the-top antics on the court at this year's wimbledon alone, a dramatic match between kyrgios and stefanos tsitsipas had no shortafirk kyrgios arguing with the umpire. >> you're a disgrace. >> reporter: slammed with a $4,000 fine for using an audible obscenity. >> it's one thing to watch a bad boy on the tennis. it's another thing entirely to have a court date waiting and a very serious allegation of physical abuse. this isn't the tennis court. this is a court of law. >> reporter: and, guys, he was already fined $10,000 in the first round here of wimbledon for spitting on a heckling spectator. we'll see if he can keep it together with all of this negative energy surrounding him, all this negative talk and make it to his first semifinals. he is about to play today. and there's a lot for americans to watch today. amanda anisimova is also playing

officers. and, t.j., we know that you had an opportunity to speak with her. >> she cried through the first third of the interview. you can understand that. the things that aren't in dispute in this case is that jayland walker was unarmed when police opened fire. he ends up with 60 wounds in his body. so the question is how did we go from a routine traffic stop to that? and the police video that was released was supposed to answer some of this but his sister says she has not been able to watch that video yet. >> i won't see him again. i won't be able to hug him again or just remind him that i love him or anything like that. >> reporter: jada walker is preparing to bury her baby brother. speaking to abc news for the first time since akron police released body camera video showing eight of their officers shooting and killing 25-year-old jayland walker. >> now, you know that video is out there. are you just not ready to see it yet? >> it's just not matching the person that i know because he's not into that and that's not

him. that's not jayland. i can't accept that at all and i don't -- i shouldn't say i don't want to, but i just can't fathom to see any sort of video of him being gunned down that amount of times, you know, as if he was just -- just like aim practice. >> reporter: the footage shows what authorities describe as a routine traffic stop, followed by a car chase and then a foot chase. as walker runs away, officers claim at one point he turns toward them prompting a hail of gunfire. >> show me your hands. >> reporter: a preliminary medical examiner report shows over 60 wounds to walker's body despite being unarmed at the moment he was killed. but police say walker fired at them during the car chase and point to this image which they say shows a flash of a gun from the driver's side of walker's car adding that they recovered

this gun and a loaded magazine inside of his car. >> the way in which that picture depicted where the gun was located and the way and manner in which it was placed, officers are approaching the car on their body one camera and it's capturing it as they are approaching. >> you are not -- sounds like you're not buying, but you don't see evidence that a gun was ever fired from that vehicle. >> i've never known him to own a gun of any sort at all. he never brought it to my attention. the last thing i would have imagined him having with him is a gun. >> i don't see clear evidence of a gun being fired. more importantly the gun was recovered in the backseat according to the preliminary autopsy report that my team reviewed. so i need to know how the gun got in the front seat, all nice presented with the ring and the cartridge pulled out and the bullets there. this looked like a staged picture. >> reporter: abc news reached out to the attorney general's

office regarding the photo but have not heard back. the family say the police are creating a narrative making walker out to be someone he wasn't. >> i haven't been watching a lot of television because i just, i don't want to see him in that light. i'm just really sad because out of many black men who have been killed and many families that experienced this even as a sister, it's just -- excuse me. it's just really hard.

mom, you know, it really hurts. >> those officers who fired are on leave right now. everybody is asking that question -- just how do we get to that? and the officers explained this by saying, once they saw a gun fired from the car, this escalated this to now a public safety issue to where they now think they're pursuing someone who is a threat to the community and that's how they explained their mindset at least in chasing him and why they opened fire. the investigation will tell us more about that. you know in things like this we see people go from shock to grief to anger. she says she hasn't gotten angry yet. it's just the shock and the grief right now. >> very apparent. >> can't even be mad but his birthday is in 14 days. he was going to turn 26. >> thank you, t.j. we'll be right back. he on a day without migraine my whole body feels free. because my eyes don't shy from the light. my head doesn't pound. and my stomach isn't nauseous. it's time for migraine prevention delivered differently, through an iv infusion.

we're back with the yoga instructor who police say fled the country after gunning down the woman she thought was involved with her boyfriend. kaitlin armstrong now officially charged with first degree murder. our chief national correspondent matt gutman joins us with more on all of that. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. overnight armstrong appeared before a magistrate at the austin jail. she was informed of her rights as an inmate. of course, until just a couple of days ago she was a fugitive who authorities say likely used her sister's passport to slip into costa rica. once there, tried to make a life

tried to get work as a yoga teacher in the trendy beach town. >> she was going to these yoga studios, signing in under an alias, so going under a different name, another identity and taking those classes to where, you know, we believe she was trying to become some type of instructor. >> reporter: they say she tried to change her appearance, cutting and dyeing her hair. authorities saying this receipt for cosmetic surgery with someone else's name was found in her documents, evidence that she got rhinoplasty, a nose job. zachary poulson saying armstrong told him she suffered a surf injury. >> just the bandage on the nose and she had blood in her nostril. >> reporter: he said he was there when the costa rican police detained her. >> asking about how to get around cheaper and then the police came. >> reporter: this video purportedly showing them examining her possessions at the hostel. despite the alleged effort to change her appearance and use a

our chief medical correspondent dr. ashton is here with more. okay, so what are we talking about here, first of all? explain what we're talking about when we say water births and what this study found. >> we're talking about full term uncomplicated pregnancies, so 37 weeks and up, and this was a big study that looked at over 150,000 water births that occurred all over the place in different settings. and we have to remember there is a difference between first stage of labor, which is the active stage of labor, and the second stage which is the pushing and delivery stage. and to be clear, before i tell you the good news, t.j., the american academy of pediatrics and acog, which is our professional organization of ob/gyns, say there is not enough data to say for or against water births. this study may move the needle somewhat. what they found when they looked at over 150 water births, actually some pretty good news.

they found higher rates of maternal satisfaction, less incidents of heavy postpartum bleeding, less pain for the mom. no difference in cesarean section rates which is significant, although they did find slightly more cases of what is called a broken umbilical cord which was managed without any difficulty. so hopefully this will provide the data that the american academy of pediatrics and acog want to give laboring women some more options. >> we hear about at-home water births so often. but what is the difference between in the hospital and -- >> very different and i have to tell you, t.j., as a board certified ob/gyn, i have delivered over 1,500 babies. while complications and life-threatening emergencies are rare, i have seen them happen. when they happen, they can affect either the mother and/or the baby and i will tell you that minutes or seconds count. really it's about having access to an operating room and an anesthesiologist that obviously you don't have at home. >> how do you find out if it is

an option for you? >> for women talk to their midwife, their obstetrician and express what your interests and questions are. that dialogue is so important because women need more options. that is for sure. >> all right, dr. ashton, thank you. i'll see you later. maybe we'll do some work together. >> let's do that. >> robin? >> t.j., thank you. now the 10-year-old twins who rescued their dad from drowning spraining into action using their moves that they had seen in movies. now they're helping other families stay safe. will reeve has that story for us. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this rescue is like a scene from a movie itself. dad is underwater turning blue and the kids, they jump into action. they drag dad out of the water along with their friend and then they are trying to find help, but can't find help so they're applying cpr which they had never been taught. they had only seen it in the movies. this morning this father's heroes are his two young sons who saved him from drowning in

his backyard pool in alabama. >> there's no way we should have been able to do that. >> reporter: brad hassig said he was swimming with his twins, christian and bridon and an 11-year-old neighbor when he passed out in the middle of underwater meditations he's done a dozen times before. >> we were just swimming. the boys were having fun. i like to do calming breathing exercises in the water which entails just sitting underwater. i was saying the lord's prayer and i just -- i don't ever remember finishing it. >> reporter: the boys noticed their dad slumped over at the bottom and sprang into action. they started by dragging 185-pound hassig to the side of the pool to get his head out of the water. >> they weigh 80 some pounds, around there, and i weigh 185 pounds. so they shouldn't have been able to physically do what they did. i mean, everything just went as perfectly as it probably had to have. >> i just had a moment where jesus was sitting right behind

us the whole time. >> reporter: christian and neighbor sam ran for help while bridon started cpr. he had no training but learned a few moves from watching the movies "hook" and "the sandlot." and he kept up the chest compressions and mouth to mouth puntil an ambulance came. 46-year-old hassig was rushed to the hospital and released a day later and is feeling better today. a similar scene playing out just weeks later when american swimmer anita alvarez competed in a synchronized swimming competition and lost consciousness. she sank to the bottom of the pool. hassig says he's done with underwater meditations and he and his boys want to make sure this never happens to anyone else. >> never swim alone. >> get trained to learn how to do cpr. >> reporter: so the reason the boys had to run for help is because they couldn't unlock dad's phone.

so, as a reward for their heroism, they're getting new iphones and the family is setting up a communitywide cpr event for kids and adults to learn and also "the sandlot" looks like it should be required viewing for american youth. >> glad it all worked out well. those two little twins, boy, adorable. thank you, will. now let's get to ginger. ging? >> reporter: yes, robin, our closer to home tour is rolling on with sunshine infused by elita laresca. we're going to do a little weather together. let's start with the fire in southern california. we love when animals get the help they need and these firefighters helping the dogs out so beautiful. even here in houston with all the moisture in the air you have burn bans. >> it's incredible. much of our region under burn bans. there's over 254 counties in texas, ginger and 187 counties now under a burn ban and we know

why, it's because of this. the drought, we're now seeing extreme to exceptional drought and rainfall totals are almost 7 inches below normal. >> reporter: amazing. au drew: i'm due to with your anti-weather forecast. still a human day on the way. we have morning cloud cover giving way to afternoon sunshine. inland temperatures in the 60's and 70's into the afternoon. tonight, our marine layer comes back. likely some coastal drizzle. overnight temperatures in the 50's and the low 60's. humid today. lower humidity tomorrow. it feels a lot better by the end of the week. it feels like we it feels like we've been waiting -- >> are you going to do it? >> nope. they want me to say furever. we've been waiting forever for this segment.

it's time to reveal two of the dog breeds to join the american kennel club. i guess i did do it. >> some of the most famous akc breeds you're seeing there but we want you to meet the newest one to join the club and let's finally reveal it is the bracco italiano. come on out. we have two. nigel and beretta and lisa joining us with brandi munden. welcome to all. >> i think the music was a hit. >> nigel is the boy and beretta is the female. >> how excited are you to have them joining the club? >> i'm very excited. we've been waiting quite a few years for it and it's finally here. >> brandi, what does it take to become an akc breed? >> first and foremost have a national parent club charged with protecting the breed. they create the breed standard. you have to have a pedigree. every dog in our registry has at

least three generations of pedigree in it. so they establish their stud book and did all those things and they have to hold matches and have a certain number of households in the country because the goal of any of this is preservation and we really want to preserve the breeds and make sure they're around for the long haul. this breed has been around for a long time. >> tell us about this breed. >> it is a gun dog breed. the only other gun dog breed from italy and it's a short-haired breed. beautiful to look at and max out at 90 pounds. they are the consummate companion-time breed. they were actually developed to be modified for hunting. hi. they're developed to adopt a hunter. a hunting, retreating breed and excellent with families. extremely intelligent and form wonderful bonds with children. they need mild exercise and light jogging. if you have a good yard, they'll be your best friend and they have an excellent temperament as you can see here. they're very chill but when they go out in the field they are tireless and love to be on couches and next to their owner but put them in the field and you'll be tired long before they will.
