up under heat advisories. >> ginger is here with the record-breaking temperatures. ginger, we don't have to tell you the northeast is bracing for what will feel like the triple digits in some areas. good morning. >> good morning to you, robin. it is already in the upper 70s in new york city. you know it's going to be a hot day when you start five, six degrees shy of where we would feel comfortable for the afternoon high, but that is not where we will start today. look at the heat in washington, d.c. already this morning. they're feeling like 78 out the door. looking from the monument there, their feels like this afternoon should get to 105. in boston also very warm, 73 out the door. will feel like close to 100. heat advisories in place from montana to texas but also from north carolina where it could feel up to 107 and here in the mid-atlantic and new england and for two days, this is why you say, come on, it's august, of course, it's going to feel like close to 100. when you have it for more than two days and feeling like 95 plus for those that do not have the privilege of air-conditioning, this can be a very dangerous situation.

robin? >> we got to keep that in mind. i know you'll have more for us later. thank you, ginger. george? now the latest on the battle over abortion. president biden signed an executive order on abortion access and called out kansas for that decisive vote protecting abortion rights. >> the voters of kansas sent a powerful signal that this fall the american people will vote to preserve and protect the right and refuse to let them be ripped away by politicians and my administration has their back. >> chief white house correspondent cecilia vega joins us now. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning to you. so president biden and frankly the rest of his party are really looking at kansas hoping that this is a sign of what's to come in just 96 days when voters head to the ballot box for these midterms. look, kansas is a deeply red state. voters sent a clear message to defend abortion rights, even in some of the most conservative leaning counties and this was a surprise. this measure was defeated. so democrats right now, they're really hoping this issue

galvanizes their base especially when it comes to the coveted vote of suburban women. they're using this as part of a broader messaging campaign to paint republicans as extremists on social issues. but republicans, they are clear on this one. they say the midterms are going to end up being about a referendum on the president and the economy, abortion really the reality is take a look at this only on the ballot in four other states this year, so it really remains to be seen whether this is going to become a defining issue that gets voters to the polls. so, the president, you mentioned there, he signed that eu yesterday aiming to help low-income women traveling to other states. he is really, george, trying to show that his administration is out front on this. but, frankly, when it comes to the eo they have offered very few details on how this will end up working or how the government will be able to pay for this one. >> cecilia, the 2020 election lie and how elections will be administered in the future also on the ballot in november. >> reporter: yeah, with that, that means president trump is what we're talking about.

he is really going to be a spotlight, this issue of the election lie. so look at this. four states nominating republican candidates to rules overseeing elections in those states. they all right now back trump's efforts to overturn that 2020 race. so we could potentially be talking, george, about a very serious impact on voting for millions of americans around this country. >> huge consequences. cecilia vega, thanks very much. michael? we turn now to breaking news overnight. china firing missiles near taiwan, the exercises following speaker nancy pelosi's trip there. our foreign correspondent james longman is tracking the latest. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, michael. hours after nancy pelosi left taiwan, china has for the first time launched massive military drills using live fire all around the island. chinese state media showed these pictures, they show beijing launching their missiles directly into waters east, northeast and southwest of the island. taiwanese military saying china

launched 11 ballistic missiles in just a two-hour period. these are long-range weapons capable of traveling hundreds of miles. it's thought these military drills are likely to last three days. some flights are being canceled. commercial shipping had to be rerouted and we're hearing reports of cyberattacks inside taiwan as well. a chinese spokeswoman said they were in response to what she called collusion between the united states and taiwan. this is a self-governing democracy, but china claims it as part of its own and nancy pelosi is the most senior u.s. official to visit since the late 1990s. all this is concerning because it shows just how quickly china can launch these kinds of exercises and it also demonstrates what china might do in the future if it were to launch military action by essentially causing a maritime blockade. rbin? >> all right, james. thanks to you. we stay abroad to a potential nuclear disaster in the making in ukraine. the u.n.'s nuclear chief is warning a nuclear plant, the largest in europe, is, quote, completely out of control.

after russian troops seized it. our senior foreign correspondent ian pannell is in ukraine with the latest. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, robin, that's right. i mean, ukraine is home to a number of key nuclear power plants, few of us can forget the fallout from that chernobyl disaster. with the start of war that was occupied by the russians. today it's been retaken, stabilized and back under ukrainian control. but today it's this other huge nuclear facility here that's caught in the crossfire that's ringing alarm bells around the world. this morning, a nuclear crisis in ukraine. the u.n. sounding the alarm about europe's largest power plant caught in the middle of the war. the head of the international atomic energy agency warning the situation is extremely dangerous. >> physical integrity of the place has not been respected. zaporizhzhia is completely out of control. >> reporter: located in the southeastern city of enerhodar, it was taken by russian troops in early march shortly after the

invasion began. seen here in video posted by the mayor of the city, but while russian troops control the plant, ukrainian staff still run it, contributing to mounting tensions and deteriorating operations. ukraine accusing russia of using it as cover to shell a nearby town. russia accusing ukraine of attacking the plant too. fighting is escalating nearby. in a video released by the ukrainian defense ministry, a drone strike in july targeting russian troops just outside the plant. the u.s. now accusing russia of using the nuclear plant as a human shield. >> russia is now using the plant as a military base to fire at ukrainians knowing that they eycctally ct or ghoot back radioactive waste in storage. >> reporter: well, the u.n. issuing a plea for russia and ukraine to allow international inspectors in to stabilize the

site and avoid another nuclear disaster on ukrainian soil. george? >> okay, ian, thanks. now to brittney griner back in a russian courtroom this morning for closing arguments. a verdict and sentence could come at any moment. maggie rulli is tracking the case. good morning, maggie. >> reporter: good morning, george. we heard from brittney griner minutes ago. she pleaded for a milder sentence, calling russia her second home. at times she got emotional. >> i want to also apologize to my parents, my siblings, the amazing of the wnba and my amazing spouse back at home. i never meant to hurt anybody. i never meant to put in jeopardy the russian population. i never meant to break any laws. i made an honest mistake and i

hope that in your ruling that it doesn't end my life here. >> reporter: her defense team is also asking for a lenient sentence, reminding the judge that griner had a medical prescripti f cannis says griner broke the law. they're asking for nine and a half years in prison. at this point all sides have spoken. we expect a verdict and sentencing in just a matter of hours. george? >> maggie rulli, thanks. michael? now to the latest fallout from the u.s. drone strike that killed the leader of al qaeda. the united states has warned about potential retaliation and our mary bruce has more on the taliban's reaction. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, michael. the taliban this morning is weighing how to respond to this strike. you know, since assuming power last year, the government had been hoping for international

recognition but the knowledge now that al zawahiri was hiding in plain sight and how the taliban responds to this now is significantly complicating those aspirations. this morning, the taliban reacting to the u.s. air strike that killed al qaeda leader ayman al zawahiri. group representatives say they are investigating what they call the u.s. claim of his death saying the government and the leadership wasn't aware of what is being claimed nor any trace there. outside his home in kabul, security tight. the balcony where he was killed covered with a tarp. top leadership is said to be holding lengthy dis about how to respond. qaed the death of founder osama bin laden in 2011. now the next man in line is poised to take his place. >> the next al qaeda leader in line is a fellow by the same of saif al adel. he's thought to be in iran, which is really interesting because that presents further complications in terms of his

allegiances, who he works for, why is he in iran. >> reporter: with the movement's leadership in flux, experts say al qaeda is no longer what it was. the real threat now comes from its splinter groups, newer terrorist organizations inspired by them, or broke away in the last decade or so, including isis. >> the threat level from al qaeda in this region, afghanistan and pakistan, actually is quite low, especially compared to other threats and these are threats from al qaeda franchises in somalia, in yemen, parts of northwest syria and subsaharan africa and so forth. >> reporter: now, the white house is vowing to stay vigilant and go after al qaeda terrorists amidst concerns that the talibh street for a little-known company that recently went public but somehow is now worth more on paper than some of the biggest, best-known companies in the world.

our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is here to explain. rebecca, the surge raising a lot of questions and concerns as you know. good morning. >> oh, yes, robin. good morning to you. this one is tough to wrap your head around. this company amtd digital which is a little known financial technology company based in hong kong has become the latest obsession of the wall street bets reddit community now up an unprecedented 14,000% in less than a month. take a look at this. the company went public and started trading on july 15th at $7.80 a share. it got as high as $1,679 this week before crashing to $1,100 yesterday. now, at this point it is worth over $200 billion. that means it's bigger than target. it's bigger than general motors and bigger than mcdonald's. amtd management apparently was in a letter this week they thanked investors for the exceptional run and conceded there is no fundamental reason

that this stock is soaring. this is unprecedented in many ways, but we have seen these manias play out before in other stocks like gamestop and amc. this is not saving for retirement, guys. the bottom line here is buyer beware. you don't get this kind of volatility without taking on huge risks and a lot of money is last by a lot of people who play these trades. so buyer beware out there. >> good advice as always. >> crazy story. phil mickelson and ten other golfers taking on the pga after they were suspended from the tour. they filed an anti-trust suit saying they're being unfairly punished for joining the saudi-backed liv golf series. t.j. has the story. good morning, t.j. >> good morning, george. the masters, we know that, the winner gets $2.7 million for winning it. well, in this saudi-backed league every single event, the winner gets 4 million. it's that kind of money that's attractive and big names like

phil mickelson have gotten over $100 million just to sign on. so those players have sued the pga. why? because the pga says you cannot have your nine-figure cake and eat it too. for decades he's been one of the most recognizable faces on the pga tour, but phil mickelson, lefty, is joining ten other pro golfers in an antitrust lawsuit against the organization that made many of them household names claiming they were suspended by the pga for their involvement with liv, a saudi-backed tour attempting to rival th it's defite the b ouh faced. >> reporter: liv made a controversial splash into the golf word, offering larger purses than the pga with 48 players competing for $405 million in prize money. the league has been aggressively recruiting pga players to join its ranks offering megadeals. mickelson said to be receiving $200 million just to show up. u.s. open winner dustin johnson reportedly $150 million.

>> i think this gets me opportunities to spend more time with my family. >> reporter: and liv golf ceo greg norman confirmed earlier this week that the league had offered tiger woods somewhere between $700 million and $800 million just to join. woods has publicly said that liv is not in the best interest of te game saying the players who have joined -- >> turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position. >> reporter: three of the players are pursuing a temporary restraining order that would permit them to take part in the upcoming fedexcup playoffs. in the lawsuit, the plaintiffs claim the punishment that would accrue to these players from not being able tpl in the fedexcup playoffs is substantial. in a memo, the pga responded we have been preparing to protect our membership and contest this latest attempt to disrupt our tour. now, meanwhile the justice department was investigating the pga for some of their anti-competitive practices and get this, the pga put a statement out to their members saying, saudi league employees

who walked away and now want back in. >> kind of knew this was coming. >> yep. >> thanks, t.j. coming up the trial of alex jones. the infowars founder who called the sandy hook massacre a hoax is being sued for $150 million. he finally admitted on the stand that the killings were real. dan abrams breaks down the trial. rebecca will be back with details on the equifax credit score scandal. the company sending millions of lenders inaccurate scores for weeks. but first, let's go back to ginger. >> good morning. you know it's one of my favorite things when i'm talking to my mom and she goes, did you know it's very stormy? in fact, i do, mom, but she caught herself yesterday and it was stormy across the state of michigan. more than 108,000 customers waking up without power. there was flash flooding. i want to take you down to the rest of the flood risk today because while there's just a marginal risk for the storms becoming severe you could take a tree down and have heavy rain. your local weather in 30 seconds. love you, mom.

$150 million defamation suit and this morning there are new questions about whether his lawyers may have made a big mistake revealing text messages apparently showing jones withheld evidence. erielle reshef has the story. good morning, erielle. >> good morning to you, george. after years of trafficking and mistruths alex jones conceding that the massacre of children and staff at sandy hook was, in fact, 100% real. coming face-to-face in court with parents who lost their little boy who say they were tormented as jones spread lies about them and the tragedy to his millions of followers. this morning, a dramatic about-face from conspiracy theorist alex jones. >> do you understand now that it was absolutely irresponsible of you to do that? >> it was, especially since i met the parents and it's 100% real. >> reporter: the firebrand radio host finally acknowledging what the world has known all along, 26 innocent children and staff were gunned down at sandy hook elementary school in 2012. jones now facing a $150 million defamation lawsuit filed by the parents of 6-year-old sandy hook

victim jesse lewis who told a texas courtroom how jones compounded their anguish by calling the 2012 school massacre a hoax and calling them crisis actors inciting his millions of followers against them. >> i can't even describe the last nine and a half years of living hell that i and others have had to endure. >> reporter: for the family his admission is too little too late. the parents saying they've endured violence, harassment and death threats as a result of his toxic rhetoric. >> the goal is to hold alex jones accountable. >> reporter: jones shaking his head as scarlet lewis, jesse's mother directly addressed him from the stand. >> you keep saying it. why? why? for money? >> reporter: jones testifying in his own defense claiming the suit is an attack on his free speech, claiming he'd lost nearly everything after he was banned from facebook, youtube and apple platforms. his company filing for

bankruptcy on friday. but then a shocking twist from the family's attorney. >> 12 days ago your attorneys messed up and sent me a digital copy of your entire cell phone with every text message you've sent for the past two years, and when informed did not take any steps to identify it as privileged or protect it in any way. and as of two days ago, it fell free and clear into my presentation, and that's how i know you lied to me when you said you didn't have text messages about sandy hook. did you know that? >> this is your perry mason moment. >> reporter: the attorney also presenting evidence that jones' infowars businesses apparently brought in roughly $800,000 in one day from sales. jones claiming in court that amount was not the norm and that he is, indeed, in financial distress. but earlier this week the judge already admonishing him from the bench. >> you may not tell this jury that you are bankrupt.

that is also not true. yet here i am, you must tell the truth while you testify. this is not your show. >> jones has already been found liable in the case. the jury will decide how much to award in damages. again, the family is seeking $150 million, jones has also been sued by eight other families as well as an fbi agent for defamation. he is also now facing tens of thousands of dollars in fines issued by judges in those cases and potentially millions more in damages. george? >> okay, erielle, thanks very much. let's bring in chief legal analyst dan abrams. we just saw that trouble alex jones is in. he probably wants to fire his lawyer as well. sending those text messages to the opposing lawyer? >> this case is insane and then you have this thrown into it, right, you have one lawyer, his lawyer send the opposing lawyer

all of alex jones' text messages for the last two years. now, remember, this was relevant because the other side had specifically said do you have any text messages that relate to sandy hook that mentioned sandy hook, no, no. have you searched for them? yes, i have. know, look at all these text - messages that are accidentally sent to the other side. so immediately you have now proof that at the very least alex jones has not been telling the truth. >> is that perjury on its face with criminal charges? >> i would say that criminal charges are certainly possible, maybe even likely, but not necessarily inevitable. the prosecutors have to decide whether to bring charges. now, one of the interesting things is does the judge refer a criminal case, meaning say to the prosecutors, i think that you should consider this. it's up to the texas prosecutors. but this sure does seem to fit the definition of perjury which this is an official proceeding. the big question as to whether it becomes the felony is would it have an outcome on the proceeding of the case. >> infowars is still on the air. >> oh, absolutely. alex jones continues to go on and not just talk about some of

the things related to this case, but he attacks the judge. he's attacked the plaintiffs in this case. and so what happens is on cross-examination, alex jones is on the witness stand and the lawyer will say, wait a sec, last week, didn't you say this and last week didn't you suggest that the judge may be involved in a pedophilia ring, et cetera? and so that's part of what makes this case so insane, remembering, of course, that this isn't about is he responsible. that's already been determined. the question here is about how much money. >> these text messages could have impact on the january 6th investigation? >> well, it is possible. now it's possible that the commission is going to want to see those text messages as well because suddenly you have this trove of information that people didn't even know existed before. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. michael? >> all right, george, thank you. now to a credit rating scandal. credit rating agency equifax has admitted it sent out incorrect scores for millions of americans seeking loans, a mistake with

major implications for victims. rebecca jarvis is back with tht. hey, rebecca. >> hey, michael. think about this. your credit score is the thing that impacts whether you can get a mortgage or a car loan or a credit card and how much you'll pay for it and now equifax says they sent the wrong scores for huge numbers of people to a number of lenders. this morning, confusion and outrage after one of the nation's largest credit reporting agencies, equifax, admitted it provided inaccurate credit scores to lenders for three weeks earlier this year. >> i really was just quite perplexed and confused about what happened. >> reporter: "the wall street journal" reporting its faulty scores were sent to some of the biggest banks in the u.s. from jpmorgan and wells fargo to ally financial as people applied for car loans, mortgages and credit cards. equifax confirming nearly sres change by at least 25 points. enough to potentially alter

their interest rates or even cause their application to get denied. alabama resident q. dot davis said he saw his score temporarily drop 38 points, potentially disqualifying him for loans. now he says his score reverted back to normal. >> it does kind of, you know, drop and reflect for me personally. i'll continue to watch my credit and keep a closer eye on it. >> reporter: equifax blaming the arizona computer coding issue, confirming it's now been fixed. the ceo addressing the issue at an investor conference in june. >> we think the impact is going to be quite small, you know, not something that's meaningful to equifax. >> reporter: equifax, which has about 200 million customers, noting some people may have also seen their credit score go up. >> the glitch wasn't one directional. you had people who were gettig higher credit scores than they should have and lower scores. >> reporter: experts say if your score suffered and your

application was denied, you still have options. >> the worst case scenario would be missing out on your dream home because you couldn't qualify for a mortgage or, if you were approved for a loan but you were approved for less than ideal terms, so your loan is costing you more money per month because you're paying a higher interest rate. you can talk to the lender and have them reassess your application and give you more details about how they came to their decision. >> how do you know if you were impacted? if you tried to obtain credit or mortgage between march 17th and april 6th of this year and you were either denied or got a lower score than expected, you can look at a few things. first, check your credit report. you can do this for free at annualcreditreport.com. did you forget to make a payment or max out your credit cards or did you or a spouse take out a new loan? if your answer to all these questions is no, and your credit score moved up or down more than

from tracking this week are how important it is for me to focus on falling asleep. one of the most important things is consistency when it comes to sleep, keeping your bedtime and rising time as close to the same time monday through monday. >> reporter: dr. robbins also suggesting paige reduce total time in bed before lights out. >> you really want to kind of go into bed when you're ready to sleep so instead practice your relaxing prebed activities ideally outside of the bed. >> good night. >> ah. i hope she's having a good night rest. dr. rebecca robbins is here. we have been talking. we were talking all through that piece right there because you gave some really good insight. and, you know, a lot of people, as you know, they feel like, oh, if i read in bed before i go to sleep it's going to help. that is counter -- that doesn't work, does it, dr. robbins? >> well, relaxing activities before bedtime are a critical part of a healthy sleep routine.

part of a healthy routine. what we're talking about here is actually trying to practice relaxing activities outside of bed. if you love to read try to find a cozy armchair. turn on a light. keep them low. read a couple pages and crawl back into the sheets as soon as you're tired because takes an even well rested person 20 or so minutes to fall asleep. >> we really do. look, sleep, these sleep issues are serious for a lot of people. if you're having those issues you do need to see a professional and what we're doing is just trying to give people some insight, and i was the same way, dr. robbins. i was just talking to george. he helped me because i thought i didn't need a lot of sleep and i was only getting about maybe 4 1/2 to 5 and then i made the conscious effort, i said no more tv in my bedroom and that has made a huge difference, not watching tv. so when i go in my bedroom i now that i am supposed to go to sleep. also just being stricter with

the bedtime and more consistent with that and i know we keep talking about george, he got me into meditation. i was getting up early to meditate and it made no sense that i was losing some time sleeping to meditate. so what i've done is i meditate after the show and, boy, do i need meditation after the show a lot of times and also prior to -- prior to -- making sleep a priority -- [ laughter ] >> there you go. >> all such wonderful ideas, i'm so happy to hear these strategies that you're using. first restricting the time you're watching tv in bed, great idea. we want to look at our bed and just crave getting inside and so restricting the time we're in bed to time we're sleeping. second, i love stricter bedtimes. we're so devoted to our alarm clocks and wake-up time if we draw more focus to our bedtime and the time we want to start unwinding for bed then that can again put us in good position and then third meditation. great healthy strategy and actually people who meditate

fall asleep a little faster than people who don't meditate. i love your comments about not restricting your sleep. i hear that all the time. people say i love to get enough sleep but i have to exercise and wake up an hour or two hours early but the dirty secret is when we practice all these health behaviors they all help one another and especially sleep when we make it a priority, we wake up, feel refreshed, want to treat our bodies well and exercise and we want to meditate. finally, prioritizing sunday sleep, i love that. setting yourself up for success, combating the sunday scaries and getting your wind-down routine going will set you up for success for the week ahead. >> the sunday scaries. dr. robbins, thank you so much ment we want to emphasize to a lot of folks this is serious for a lot of people and if you find yourself needing some help please do seek some professional help. all right. thank you, dr. robbins. >> great tips. a little "pop news." did we leave enough time for you? >> i hope so.
