forcing 10,000 people to flee their homes. 17,000 acres scorched. ginger is live on the scene tracking the latest. while at home, a fast-moving brush fire in los angeles spawning this fire whirl. plus, flash flooding across the country too from washington, d.c., to tennessee. deadly home explosion. at least three people killed by a blast that leveled this house and dozens of other homes damaged. missing teen mystery. the sheriff releasing new surveillance images of a california 16-year-old right before she vanished. the new clues this morning as the teen's father speaks out overnight. wilde versus sudeikis. what olivia wilde is now saying about the moment the actress and drector was served legal papers from ex, jason sudeikis while on stage and what a judge just ruled in the case. >> new trouble on the high seas? why one major line is canceling at least 11 cruises. what it means for travelers seeking a getaway. this morning, our gio benitez breaks down the best way to

took the fifth about 400 times, just one of several investigations targeting the former president. it comes two days after the fbi searched his home and jon karl starts us off. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. in that appearance before new york's attorney general, donald trump became the first former president in american history to take the fifth. >> how do you feel, mr. trump? >> reporter: when donald trump sat down in the new york attorney general's office for a sworn deposition, he answered only a single question, what is your name? the former president invoked his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination for every other question according to a source familiar with the deposition. before the questions started, trump began by reading an opening statement where he harshly criticized new york attorney general letitia james as she sat right across the table from him calling her a failed politician and accusing her of trying to, quote, destroy trump. the deposition which went on for six hours with breaks and was videotaped was part of a civil case accusing the trump family business of misrepresenting the

values of its properties to get more favorable loans and pay less in taxes. trump and his company have long denied wrongdoing. despite trump's attacks on the ag in his opening statement, after the deposition was over, he and his lawyer called it, quote, very professional. for years trump has railed against people who take the fifth. >> you see the mob takes the fifth. if you're innocent, why are you taking the fifth amendment? fifth amendment, fifth amendment, fifth amendment. horrible. horrible. >> reporter: in a statement he claimed he had no choice but to take the fifth now, especially after the fbi raid on his florida residence monday. but the mar-a-lago raid had nothing to do with wednesday's deposition. law enforcement sources say the fbi search of his palm beach home was related to documents, some of them classified, that trump allegedly took improperly from the white house. in his first appearance since the raid fbi director christopher wray was asked for details on the search.

>> that's not something that i can talk about so i'd refer you to the department. >> reporter: trump faces multiple investigations in multiple venues. in addition to the new york ag investigation and the federal probe into his alleged mishandling of classified information, there's also the doj and congressional investigations into january 6th and a criminal investigation in georgia of his efforts to pressure officials there to, quote, find enough votes to overturn the election results. republicans are demanding that the justice department come out and publicly explain what was going on with the raid, what they are investigating. the department is standing by its long-standing policy of not commenting on current investigations. donald trump, however, does have a copy of the search warrant according to one of his lawyers. that warrant would explain at least in some detail what they were looking for and what they

took. but, george, donald trump has not released that and has resisted all calls for him to make that warrant public. >> of course, he could release it if he wanted to. jon karl, thanks very much. let's bring in chief legal analyst dan abrams. this is the second time this week you're coming on with something we haven't seen before. >> we've never seen a former president take the fifth amendment, but i have to say in this context just as a legal matter it's not that surprising, right, because you have a manhattan d.a. who is claiming that there is still an open investigation into donald trump. remember, you had two manhattan d.a.s leave the office after no indictment was brought against donald trump, and the d.a., alvin bragg, claiming there's still an open investigation. so if there is an open investigation in manhattan, criminal, you can understand why anyone in his position would say, well, i have to be careful because i could incriminate myself. >> and there's precedent here, his son eric took the fifth about 500 times. >> right. >> two years ago. >> while a couple of his other kids did testify. >> in a criminal case legal

theory says taking the fifth isn't supposed to work against you. not the same in a civil case. >> just the opposite actually. you can actually use that against the person in the context of the civil case. so the attorney general may be able to use that against him in any case that might be brought. >> lots of clamoring to see the search warrant. are we going to see it? >> i don't think so. the search warrant itself could leak. the real information is in the affidavit that was presented to back up why they needed the search warrant. there's now a hearing that's going to be held. the government has to come back by the 15th of august and respond to that and say why it shouldn't be released. it's unlikely it will be released. this stuff typically doesn't get released in the context of an ongoing investigation. >> and the former president won't release it. >> won't release the search warrant part, right. that would just have some more limited information. that would just say potentially what the crime was, what they were looking for, et cetera. the affidavit would have all the reasoning so that has a lot more information than the warrant itself. >> you're not just a legal analyst. you're something of a political

analyst as well. not only is it the first time to happen to a former president but who is still contemplating quite atively running for president again. >> yes, but there's an argument to be made this is all very good for him politically. i mean, you know, he's fund-raising off this. there's a lot of support suddenly behind him. an enormous amount of talk about ron desantis and now it's all the republican party coalescing around donald trump. >> good for him until it's not, i guess. thanks very much. cecelia? we turn to the rising prices in the hope that just maybe, maybe we are turning a corner. these new numbers show inflation jumped 8.5% from a year ago, but that was less than expected. a potential slowdown due in part perhaps to some falling gas prices. trevor ault is at a gas station here in new york with maybe some much needed good news on this. hey, trevor. cecilia. yeah, this morning at this brooklyn shell station a gallon of regular will set you back $4.15, which for new york city compared to earlier this summer, i got to tell you, feels like a bargain. we all remember when the national average for gas went

above $5 a gallon back in june. this morning it's just dipped below $4 a gallon on average, $3.99. gas prices fell 7.7% in july. they've gotten lower 58 days in a row now and the cheapest price for a gallon of gas on average now is in texas, $3.49. but it's not just gas prices getting cheaper. airline fares, used cars and trucks and communications like computers and internet have gotten cheaper along with apparel, but we have a long way to go to get back to where we were. on average this time last year a gallon of gas would cost you $3.18. >> yeah, you're right. trevor, thanks. we turn to wall street reacting positively to these new numbers and a potential inflation slowdown so rebecca jarvis is right there tracking it all from the stock exchange. hey, rebecca. >> reporter: hey, cecilia, good morning to you and in a word, this report was a relief for wall street. yesterday's report showing inflation up 8.5% versus a

year ago. that's still less than where we were just a month ago in june and the way wall street sees this is that we've turned a corner, that inflation has peaked and as you just heard there from trevor, a big reason for that is gas prices. there are still areas of the economy, however, that are much higher than they were a year ago, groceries and shelter, these are things you just can't get around and even though we've turned a corner on inflation, we're not out of the woods yet according to economists as far as the broader economy. it is likely according to economists, cecilia, and t.j., we'll still face a mild recession ahead. t.j.? >> all right, but still a little hope in there on back-to-back days from you. rebecca jarvis, we appreciate you as always. we want to turn to what we've been seeing in france, a raging wildfire and thousands forced to evacuate after the fire there pretty much erupted. the fires have been burning since last month as much of europe is dealing with unprecedented heat waves and drought. ginger has made her way to france now. ginger, hello to you. >> reporter: t.j., it is painfully obvious how dry it is. the torched trees and one of the

many homes burned out in the most recent fire and wildfire is nothing new for france. they get about an average of 65 a year. this time more than five times that number. this morning, wildfires in france forcing thousands to evacuate. 10,000 people fleeing the heart of wine country in southwestern france. and now french officials asking volunteers to help battle the blaze, which was exacerbated by the driest july on record and france's fourth intense heat wave since june. satellite images showing france with gray smoke above and near this region. so far in 2022, 141,000 acres of french countryside have been scorched in wildfires. that's nearly six times the full average from 2008 to 2021 along with many homes destroyed. crops turned to ash leaving wine producers in france's famous wine region wary about the

future of their vineyards this season. many saying it's too early to tell if the smoke contamination will negatively impact their production and with temperatures in bordeaux expected to reach 103 degrees first responders are in for a tough fight ahead. the forecast for the rest of august, hot and dry. the smoldering ground certainly makes it feel hotter but high temperature today over 104, and that's just here. above 20 degrees above average for so many places from spain up to london. well above average. they're of course, going to stay dry and unfortunately that's not going to help firefighters here. george? >> ginger, thanks. we're going to get the latest now on the war in ukraine. there's growing concern about the largest nuclear plant in europe with a battle raging around it and russian bombs raining down just miles away. britt clennett is on the scene. good morning, britt. >> reporter: good mornin 's rig. fears are growing here in ukraine after more attacks on the areas surrounding europe's largest nuclear power plant, also russian shells landed in the city ten miles from the zaporizhzhia plant and 13

civilians were killed. southwest about 30 miles away, missiles striking with several homes completely destroyed and, george, president zelenskyy once again reiterating they need more high caliber weapons to counter the onslaught. george. >> they are saying it is making a difference. thanks, britt. cecilia? okay, george, we turn to that alleged assassination plot. the justice department charging a suspected iranian operative for allegedly plotting to kill former u.s. national security adviser john bolton. foreign correspondent james longman has the latest on this. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, cecilia. this really is like something out of a spy thriller. u.s. prosecutors are now charging an iranian man they say attempted to hire a hitman to kill john bolton. he was the national security adviser to donald trump. the justice department says

shahram poursafi is a member of iran's islamic revolutionary guard and that he offered $300,000 in november 2021 to eliminate bolton. now, all this an attempt to avenge the death of quasem soleimani. he was killed by the u.s. in a drone strike in iraq in january, 2020. according to an fbi affidavit, poursafi is alleged to have approached a u.s. resident on social media asking him to take photos of bolton for a book he was said to be writing. he spoke to another u.s. resident via an encrypted messaging app and that person became an fbi informant. the fbi hacked their communications and found that poursafi had suggested an assassination by car as bolton often took walks in the park. iran has rejected these allegations calling them ridiculous and baseless, but john bolton has thanked both the fbi and the justice department for uncovering this plot. t.j.? >> james, thank you so much. we turn now to a house explosion in indiana where paut eople were killed. you could see it there in the distance in the back of the screen there. the blast damaged about 40 homes, covered the neighborhood in debris and alex perez has the latest on this investigation. >> reporter: this morning, investigators trying to figure

out what caused this deadly explosion in indiana captured by srveillance cameras. >> it felt like an earthquake. >> reporter: the blast leveling a home and tearing a path of destruction through this neighborhood in evansville, more than three dozen homes damaged, at least 11 destroyed and three people killed. >> we just hear just a crazy boom and our whole house shakes and so we immediately ran outside. >> i was just getting ready to come into work, and my wife and i could feel the house vibrating from apparently that blast. >> reporter: rescuers racing to the scene. >> we need everybody back. >> people were laying on the ground. >> there was a female already rendering aid to one person on the ground. >> reporter: the atf and state fire marshal's office are now trying to figure out what triggered the explosion. authorities turning off the gas and electricity. >> can't be confident the structures are safe to enter, so

there may be somebody still in there. >> reporter: and authorities say it could be some time before they determine what exactly caused this explosion. george? >> okay, alex. switching gears to serena williams on the court last night for the first time since announcing she's nearing the end of her tennis career. it was an emotional night and janai norman has the story. good morning, janai. >> good morning, george. the tennis great who says she's not good at good-byes saying one last night bidding farewell to toronto calling it an interesting 24 hours since announcing to the world her plans to hang up her racket. >> i love y'all. >> reporter: this morning, serena williams saying good-bye to toronto for the last time as a professional tennis player. >> i've always had some amazing times here, you know, both on and off the court. i'll be coming back just as a ssn straight sets to belinda bencic. >> i wish i could have played better, but belinda played so well today. i was happy to be out here today and play in front of you guys and thanks for the support.

it's been a joy playing in front of you guys all these years so thank you. >> reporter: on tuesday serena announcing in "vogue" she was ready to evolve away from the sport she's dominated for nearly 30 years since winning her first major in 1999. williams has won 23 grand slam singles titles, more than any other player in the open era and four olympic gold medals writing on instagram, the countdown has begun. i have to focus on being a mom, my spiritual goals and finally discovering a different but just as exciting serena. i'm gonna relish these next few weeks. and the tournament director in toronto telling "the new york times", after tuesday's announcement, ticket demand skyrocketed just has it has for the u.s. open here later this month. but he added, tuesday was the first time he had seen so many players watch another player's practice, practice, guys. >> can we all be like serena when we grow up? >> i'm gonna miss her. she is must see tv. any time she played, you just stopped what you were doing and watched her. >> incredible champion.

a lot more coming up here on "gma," including new developments in the urgent search for a 16-year-old california girl. we have a new surveillance image of her just before she vanished. new travel trouble. why a major cruise line is canceling a dozen trips. first back to ginger. >> reporter: cecilia, while the moisture here has been zapped, you look somewhere like chattanooga, tennessee, that was not the case. they got 2 to 3 inches falling super quickly. less than an hour in some places. major flash flooding from there to washington, d.c. where very similar storms blasted through quick, dropped a ton of rain and then mcdowell county in north carolina, so just east of nashville, they had that tree, big tree with the wind coming down in the backyard. thankfully nobody was hurt there. now, that front is going to usher in because it's kind of a reinforcing shot of cool air, also much drier air so even though the temperatures drop into the 60s it may even feel in some places a little cooler because the dry air will be in place and is going to be quite refreshing after how we started that's the big picture. let's get a check now a little closer to home.

self-incrimination when he sat down with new york's attorney general for a deposition in a civil case against his family business, two days after the fbi searched his home as the former president faces multiple investigations. also right now the latest on the monkeypox outbreak. overnight the cdc reported the united states has surpassed 10,000 confirmed cases. also, remember when gas was about $5 a gallon? that was in june. this morning it's finally back under $4 a gallon. the average price now gotten lower 58 days in a row, and the cheapest is in texas, average there is $3.49 a gallon. also take a look at this lady here. i want you to meet sister madonna. she's telling you anything is possible. i follow sister madonna but a lot of people call her the iron nun. she is just finishing a triathlon at the age of 92! >> wow. >> yes, folks, swimming, biking, running, crossing the finish line with a smile on her face and started racing at the age of 52. she has done, guys, 400 triathlons, 45 iron mans and has

>> we're trying to find out exactly what happened. at this point we believe that someone knows, someone saw her but they're not coming forward. >> reporter: in this image authorities say she was wearing a black bodysuit, a black studded belt, green dickies pants and black vans. additional images from the sheriff's office show a sweatshirt they believe is still in her possession with eerie lyrics that say, you don't want to be forgotten. you just want to disappear. police haven't found any correlation between the words and her disappearance. >> without somebody coming forward to potentially reveal a critical piece of information that could lead us to kiely, we really have nothing to go off of so we'll continue our search. >> reporter: on wednesday law enforcement expanding their search for rodni, dive teams scouring this lake, teams also searching on the ground and by helicopter. >> so, you know, there's a presumption after somebody has been gone at her age for a

number of days that there might be foul play involved, but it appears they haven't found any, and so the real key is, looking in logical places that she might be. >> reporter: rodni was last seen at prosser family campground near lake tahoe, the site of a party she attended with hundreds of other teens. >> i would say out of the about 300 people who were in attendance at that party, we've only been able to speak to a fraction of them. >> reporter: her best friend sami smith said she was with kiely the entire party and was the last person to contact her before she went missing. >> we were going to leave together because later in the party i had asked her if she could give me a ride home, and then i realized that she was too intoxicated to give me a ride home, so i decided to try and find a different ride. we were both really drunk. >> reporter: kiely's mother desperate for answers. >> we have stories about the beginning of the night and the middle of the night, but we don't really have -- there are no stories about her leaving, when she left or who she left

correspondent jon karl. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. in that appearance before new york's attorney general, donald trump became the first former american president in american history to take the fifth. >> how do you feel, mr. trump? >> reporter: when donald trump sat down in the new york attorney general's office for a sworn deposition, he answered only a single question, what is your name? the former president invoked his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination for every other question according to a source familiar with the deposition. before the questions started, trump began by reading an opening statemet where he harshly criticized new york attorney general letitia james as she sat right across the table from him calling her a failed politician and accusing her of trying to, quote, destroy trump. the deposition, which went on for six hours with breaks and was videotaped, was part of a civil case accusing the trump family business of misrepresenting the values of its properties to get more favorable loans and pay less in

taxes. trump and his company have long denied wrongdoing. despite trump's attacks on the ag in his opening statement, after the deposition was over, he and his lawyer called it, quote, very professional. for years trump has railed against people who take the fifth. >> you see, the mob takes the fifth. if you're innocent, why are you taking the fifth amendment? fifth amendment, fifth amendment, fifth amendment. horrible, horrible. >> reporter: in a statement he claimed he had no choice but to take the fifth now, especially after the fbi raid on his florida residence monday, but the mar-a-lago raid had nothing to do with wednesday's deposition. law enforcement sources say the fbi search of his palm beach home was related to documents, some of them classified, that trump allegedly took improperly from the white house. republicans are demanding that the justice department make a full explanation of the reasons for that raid. what this investigation is all about. the justice department is

standing by its long-standing policy of not commenting on current investigations. of course, donald trump, according to one of his lawyers, has a copy of the search warrant, which would provide some answers, and there is nothing stopping him from making that warrant public. george. >> jon karl, thanks very much. t.j. we turn now to a new report that finds leisure activities as simple as reading a book or taking a walk may reduce the risk of dementia up to a third. our chief medical correspondent, dr. jennifer ashton, our good friend around here, she's here to break it all down, so tell us about the study and up to a third? that sounds significant. >> yeah, it is, t.j., and i think the bottom line here is as we age, even starting in middle life, the key is to be active, but also to have fun, so this study just published in the journal "neurology" looked at the association or observation between physical activity, leisure activity and different types of dementia and found that people who engaged in leisure

activities reduced their risk of all types of dementia by 17%, had an 18% lower risk of alzheimer's dementia and a 32% lower risk of vascular dementia. so these observed findings were pretty interesting and good news. >> but help people understand. when we say -- i mentioned reading, but when we talk about leisure activities, what are we talking about? >> well, it's difficult to ascertain, right, because it's subjective, what gives you pleasure, what do you enjoy doing, but think of it as divided up into three basic categories. in terms of cognitive activities, even something passive like watching tv or more active reading, playing games or playing musical instruments, those qualify. in terms of physical activities, walking, lifting weights, dancing, anything that you're moving your body and being active and social activity so important, so this could be anything from visiting with friends or volunteering in your community. all of these things help. >> you said active and have fun so how do you incorporate this into your life?

it sounds like you need to create some habits. >> well, i think you need to do more, but you also need to remember, you know, connect the dots between body, mind and spirit. it's not all about the cardio. we know that's important in reducing the risk of dementia and lowering types of cancer, but what we do in our off time, that matters too. >> all right, dr. ashton. thank you. perhaps i'll see you later. >> okay. >> i feel like you know her. you'll be talking to her. coming up, everybody, in our "gma morning menu," more of our closer look at inflation nation from lower gas prices to those high food costs. also this morning, why the summer is called the hundred deadliest days for teen driving. juju chang and her teenag son shows us what teens need to know behind the wheel. also the formerly conjoined twins now celebrating the 20th anniversary of their successful separation surgery. what their lives are like now. plus, bobby flay and his daughter sophie are right here in times square. they are cooking a favorite breakfast dish. i'm hungry. stay with us.

we all remember when the national average for a gallon topped $5 back in june. as of this morning, it's now dipped below $4, $3.99. gas prices fell 7.7% in july and they have dropped 5 days in a row, but we still have a long way to go to get back to the prices we were used to this time last year, a gallon of gas was $3.18, cecilia. >> yeah, trevor, so the big question i think so many folks have is, what can they actually do to start saving cash? >> reporter: well, one thing you want to check where you're filling up. a lot of these chains will offer free customer rewards, either a rewards program or a card that you can sign up for and you also should check your own credit cards because a lot of them will offer bonuses if you use them to pay and also don't forget about your own vehicle, make sure your tires stay inflated. pack as light as possible, and you will always burn the least amount of fuel if you drive smooth and slow, cecilia. >> driving smooth, trevor, thanks. we're going to turn to -- we've been talking about some of the encouraging news about gas prices, but the food prices are

still especially high, so victor oquendo is at a food bank in florida city, florida, with more on this side of the story. good morning, victor. >> reporter: hey, good morning, cecilia. that's right. the prices for food up nearly 11% over the last year. that's the largest 12-month increase since may of 1979. 43 years ago. right now the average american family paying about $460 more for the same goods and services as this time last year. we're at this food distribution site. it's in florida city. these places have become vital lifelines for families, and just take a look. we're at the end of the line now. that's where it begins, i should say and goes all the way down the corners here.etches around - this one isn't even open yet, i should mention, and people have been lined up for a few hours now, car after car waiting for essentials that are too expensive right now. cecilia. >> wow, that's really hard to see there. what a reality check, victor. we want to talk about some items that people are really paying a lot for. breakfast items particularly,

the cost is really high. >> reporter: yes, cecilia, let's go ahead and just start with coffee, which is up more than 20% from this time last year. cereal and bakery products, a 15% change. milk, the average price of a gallon last july would cost you $3.63. now it's $4.16, but the biggest jump, eggs. this time last year a dozen eggs would cost you $1.64. now, $2.94, cecilia. >> okay, i asked trevor this. iman going to ask you this, victor, what are some ways people can save? i know you got some good tips. >> reporter: yeah, and trevor mentioned this as well, those rewards or loyalty program, check your local grocery store. go ahead and sign up for them. and if you haven't signed up for them, you can just ask the manager, see if they'll give you the discount anyway. they want your business and they wnt your loyalty. one more tip, experts say you should go ahead and try out the generic brands instead of those name brands. in many cases they get a bad rap. we're told that over the course of the last few years that the quality and taste have improved.
