texas, and we'll tell you about that coming up. we begin with the dangerous turn in the war in ukraine. overnight a round of shelling at that nuclear power plant in ukraine. >> this comes as president zelenskyy warns the world of nuclear disaster. britt clennett is there for us. good morning, britt. >> reporter: good morning, amy. yeah, fears in zaporizhzhia over that nuclear power plant, reaching fever pitch after russia told staff not to go to work today and there were multiple attacks again near the plant. this morning, mounting concerns over a potential nuclear disaster in ukraine. several strikes reported overnight near the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, europe's largest. fear growing rapidly after recent attacks in the area. this video circulating online showing a projectile landing and exploding nearby. now both sides warning of an escalation. sources reporting that russia told plant workers not to show up today. russia is accused of using the plant as a military base. this video posted by ukrainian

officials show russian military vehicles inside the plant. abc news has not been able to verify the date the video was captured. president zelenskyy writing on twitter, the world is on a verge of nuclear disaster. the president meeting with the u.n. secretary-general, calling on the u.n. to help ensure the demilitarization of the nuclear power plant. in zaporizhzhia, one official -- local volunteer telling us they're providing vital medication such as anti-radiation medication to plant workers. this is iodine. >> yep. >> these guys are gathering it to send it to where the plant is in case there is a radioactive leak. >> reporter: both ukraine and russia blame each other for the ongoing attacks. earlier this week, ukrainian officials holding disaster drills in response to those attacks. and this morning, russia has rejected proposals to set up a demilitarized zone around the plant saying it would make it more vulnerable to attacks. cecilia? >> a really frightening

situation. britt, thank you so much. we're going to turn now to the battle over the fbi search of former president trump's florida residence. a judge indicating he will unseal some parts of this affidavit used to justify that search. terry moran is there in washington with the latest on this. the former president is saying publicly he wants people to see this affidavit and what's inside of it, but his lawyers aren't actually calling for that yet. >> reporter: that's right, cecilia. saying one thing in public is not saying anything in court at this time, but the ruling by the judge in this case was somewhat unexpected, in a case the whole country is watching. he's trying to find a middle ground between the justice department's need to protect this investigation and the public's right to know. this morning, the federal judge who authorized that fbi search of former president donald trump's home say he's trump's home say he's inclined to let the public see at least part of the affidavit that the department used to justify the search telling lawyers, i'm not prepared to find that the affidavit should be fully sealed.

the judge gave the justice department one week to propose which parts of the affidavit it would be willing to release. that affidavit outlines the evidence collected by investigators such as cooperating witnesses along with the agency's next investigative steps. >> it includes a roadmap for the investigation as it stands right now. >> reporter: but while trump has demanded the full affidavit be released, his lawyers haven't taken any action to do so. instead, it's news organizations including abc news that are arguing in court that the public has a powerful right to know more. their lawyer declaring -- >> we are entitled to monitor the affairs of our government at all levels. >> reporter: the investigation into trump's alleged mishandling of classified information and white house documents is in its early stages according to doj lawyers. they argue the affidavit should remain sealed to protect the integrity of the investigation along with witnesses' safety warning, this is a volatile situation across the political spectrum, but certainly on one side in particular. trump and his allies have

repeatedly attacked the fbi, the doj, and especially attorney general merrick garland. so the justice department now has a week to propose its redactions to that affidavit. they're concerned about classified material, about witness safety. if the judge disagrees, if the judge thinks more of it should be made public, the justice department can appeal. it could be weeks before we see much or less of what's in this affidavit. cecilia? >> this isn't happening any time soon. okay, terry, thanks. we're going to stay on the legal battles for the former president. one of his trusted executives, pleading guilty to tax fraud. our senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky joins us with more. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: cecilia, good morning to you. at 75 years old allen weisselberg preferred to go to prison for five months and pay a $2 million penalty rather than turn on trump. he pleaded to all 15 counts

admitting that he schemed with the trump organization to evade taxes by paying certain executives including himself with luxury cars, leased amounts and school tuition, none of which was declared as income. weisselberg is now going to have to testify against a company he worked for for 50 years because of this indictment. >> it's hard to say how close his ties were to the trump organization, but the trump organization itself maintain they've done nothing wrong in this. >> reporter: nothing wrong, and the case is political in the eyes of the trump organization. the company says they will not be offering a guilty plea of its own trial scheduled for the fall, but weisselberg's testimony really could make things difficult for the company because he has copped to a tax fraud that began when donald trump was hosting "the apprentice" and ran all the way through his time as president. cecilia? >> you'll stay on top of this. aaron, thanks. gio?

we're going to turn to the crisis on the border with mexico. some communities are seeing a record number of migrants this year with customs and border protection reporting more than 2 million in the last 10 months. mireya villarreal is on the border in eagle pass, texas. mireya, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, gio. we're right next to the international bridge that connects eagle pass to piedras negras. a group just came over, many walking and swimming across the river and almost immediately surrendering to either national guard or border patrol agents. this morning, governors in arizona and texas sounding the alarm as border communities like eagle pass, texas, are overwhelmed by the record number of migrants. our cameras capturing several groups crossing the rio grande river with young children hoping to request asylum. >> apprehensions are expected to hit over 2 million in just one year. so, right now, it is an all-out effort by local, state, and federal agencies here on the border.

>> reporter: if the numbers stay at this rate, it will be the highest number of illegal crossings since at least 1960. this family is from venezuela. [ speaking foreign language ] they're here to work. they don't know anybody here. many of the migrants will end up at the only shelter in town, mission border hope. on average, they're seeing more than 500 people come through their doors every day. >> if the numbers increase, i don't know if any shelter will have availability for them. >> reporter: in july, nearly 200,000 migrants were processed along the southwest border, texas and arizona busing some of those people to new york and washington, d.c. >> we need our fellow americans to understand how significant, how prolific the challenges that we're dealing with. >> reporter: all of these migrants have been processed by border patrol. many of them seeking asylum known as title 8 which allows them to lawfully live in the u.s. while their cases are pending, regularly reporting to immigration officials to avoid deportation.

we spoken with a lot of people living in these border towns. they say this is a neither a red or bluish shoe, republican or democrat, this is an american problem right now the biden administration has remain fairly quiet, silent on what's happening along the border. amy? >> all right, mireya, thank you for that. we're going to turn now to a potential housing recession. the national association of realtors reporting sales of existing homes down nearly 6% in july compared to june. chief economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is here to tell us what this means. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning to you, amy, and this is just the latest sign that the housing market which was booming at the start of this year is stalling out. existing home sales fell in july for the sixth straight month.

te longest stretch in decline in eight years. for anyone who's trying to buy has seen this, and then soaring mortgage rates. after starting the year about 3%, the 30-year fixed rate average now is about 5.5%, and prices still remain stubbornly high. the median price of a home sold in july was $403,000, up 10.8% a year ago. when you factor it all together, home affordability is at its worst level since 1989. people buying today are typically having to shell out about 25% of their income towards their mortgage. that's up from 15% pre-pandemic, and it's led the national association of realtors to declare that we are in a housing recession. now builders, they're not building new homes. buyers can't find them. the good news, if you already own a home and bought it during the pandemic, is that the value of that house is likely still way up. you locked in the lowest rate mortgage that we will probably see for a very long time, and the bottom line for prospective

homebuyers and sellers, we are not in the same market. if you want, fix up that home to make it as low risk for buyers as possible. as for buyers, take your time, negotiate, and stay away from bidding wars. cecilia? >> take your time. all right, rebecca, thanks so much. this morning, a flash flood threat taking aim from arizona to texas as the drought crisis in the northeast here is worsening. ginger tracking it all. >> good morning to y'all. you got to see this video first, this truck going down the highway and this flip of the truck. watch, the man that was driving gets out before it goes over the rail, stands up right there. >> wow. >> it does not look real, but it is, and he is okay thankfully. rain obviously there, and then there is some really heavy rain with flash flood watches in place from arizona to new mexico, parts of utah and colorado. we're going to see more, but we're also going to see some of that tropical moisture come against a front, and just north of dallas where they have extreme, exceptional drought, the highest level, 5 to 7 inches by the start of the week. that will be a flash flood

threat, and then you talk about the northeast, new england, and 99% of rhode island is in that second highest level. we're seeing wildfires and more than 800 have burned in massachusetts, and there is some rain, gio, but it's looking like it remains dry for much of new england. >> so important to listen to those local warnings. ginger, thank you. we turn to a deadly collision in the air. two planes hitting each other while trying to land in northern california, killing at least two people. alex presha has the latest. alex, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gio. the faa and ntsb are now investigating what led up to this fatal crash, and gio, much of it was caught on camera. this is the moment that two planes collided in midair just south of san jose, california, killing multiple people. >> please be advised there is an accident towards the runway 2-0. please be advised. watsonville. >> reporter: watch. video from a nearby home surveillance camera shows one plane flying overhead. seconds later, debris rains down. a large explosion erupting in

the distance as onlookers rush into the street. >> i just saw a big, black ball of smoke and some flames. >> reporter: sources at the faa believe the two pilots were communicating right before that collision. >> straight in, 2-0, full stop. looking for traffic on the left -- >> you're behind me. i'm going to go around them. you're coming at me pretty quick. >> reporter: they were attempting to land at watsonville municipal airport, but crashed around 3:00 p.m. local time. plane 1, a cessna 152 had one person on board, its wreckage slamming into a field. the second aircraft, a twin-engine cessna 340 barreled into a hangar at the airport. >> it started to go down, and when it hit the ground, it, like, exd debris and twisted metal to try to determine just what happened. >> when you consider the system, if the two pilots can't see each other because of the physiology of the airplane, one a high wing and the other a low wing, then you've got a

>> reporter: faa officials says nobody on the ground was hurt, but watsonville is an uncontrolled airport meaning that pilots signaled their plan for approach without the direction of a control tower. gio. >> so awful, and hearing those recordings. >> yeah. >> we're thinking of their families. >> thank you, alex. turning now to the latest on the little league world series. more encouraging news for that player injured in that bunk bed fall as his team and his little brother now get set to take the field today. trevor ault has those details for us. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, amy. some great news for our friday. easton oliverson's family now says he's showing great signs of recovery. he's out of the icu after undergoing that emergency surgery for a fractured skull earlier this week and they shared this new video. the 12-year-old outfielder sitting up able to feed himself. they said he's been communicating with them more frequently. he was able to stand up and take a couple of steps with some support. they write, we are astonished by

that, but now to a new twist in the alleged love triangle murder. the attorney for suspect kaitlin armstrong claiming she was illegally questioned, and all evidence obtained from that interrogation should be tossed out. matt gutman has more on all of this. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, amy. armstrong's attorneys are basically accusing the austin police of violating her constitutional rights, first by detaining her under false pretenses, then not reading her her miranda rights, then repeatedly ignoring her requests for an attorney, and they want a jury to see none of that interrogation. this morning, a major twist in the case of the yoga teacher police accuse of killing a love rival. attorneys for kaitlin armstrong say these newly released images from her interrogation were part of an illegal arrest, and that they raised serious concerns about the case. the photo is part of newly filed court documents trying to suppress evidence and obtained by abc news.

armstrong's attorneys allege that one day after pro cyclist moriah wilson was found murdered in may, detectives took armstrong into custody with an illegal arrest warrant and constructed an illegal investigation after saying she allegedly failed to pay for botox, but then asked her about wilson's murder. armstrong seen being taken into the interrogation room in handcuffs. by two male officers in tactical vests. >> armstrong's lawyers are essentially saying everything generated from this in-cell interview, including video of her being handcuffed, should be thrown out of court, and they're essentially arguing she was set up for this interview to look bad, to look like somebody who might have been a killer. >> reporter: armstrong's attorneys also allege the detective failed to provide miranda warnings and that transcripts of her detainment reveal officers ignore her three

requests to have an attorney present which included, quote, do i need to have an attorney here? and, i should have an attorney. after the interrogation, armstrong fled the country allegedly using someone else's passport. authorities say she had started a new life in costa rica, even possibly getting plastic surgery, before she was finally arrested six weeks later. >> it was discovered armstrong used different names, aliases. under the alias of beth martin, liz, and aree martin, armstrong used these names at yoga studios and other lodging. >> reporter: police believe armstrong considered wilson a love rival and thought she was involved with her boyfriend. >> if the videotaped interrogation of kaitlin armstrong gets thrown out of court, that does help her defense, but she also has to deal with the fact that she fled the country and she was hiding out, and that will not look good in front of a jury.

>> reporter: now, none of this means that the case will be dismissed. for prosecutors, she remains the prime suspect, one with a clear motive and someone who displayed something called consciousness of guilt by allegedly fleeing the country with a passport not her own. cecilia? >> okay, matt, thanks so much. we're going to turn now to a frightening incident in oklahoma. a woman in police custody breaking free from her handcuffs, then grabbing an officer's assault rifle. marcus moore joins us with details on this. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: cecilia, good morning. the video we're going to show you is frightening indeed, but everyone survived. no one was seriously hurt. it all started when authorities in oklahoma were responding to a report of a woman acting erratically. they detained that woman and look at what happened next. watch, as authorities say a woman detained in the back of an oklahoma sheriff's car manages to get out of handcuffs, reach around to unlock a gun safe and pulls out a deputy's ar-15. after fumbling with the weapon for several minutes, she starts shooting.

>> ow! >> what was that? >> reporter: outside the car deputy's body cameras capturing the bullets flying through the air. >> we have shots fired up here. we need backup immediately. start ems. start ems. we got a civilian hit. >> reporter: the deputies ducking for cover, left stunned and confused. >> what the heck? did she get out of her cuffs? >> reporter: authorities say racheal clay fired ten shots at the officers last week in grady county, oklahoma, southwest of oklahoma city. a bystander was hit in the chest and two deputies grazed. >> it took her about 15, 20 minutes to figure out how to operate the gun. she was pushing buttons and was frantic. >> reporter: a six-hour standoff would follow until clay finally surrendered. authorities say clay was under the influence of drugs and is now facing three counts of attempt to kill. it's a miracle that no one was killed in this.

the undersheriff says that there's a button on that safe that says gun. you just press it and it unlocks the safe and that is something they're going to change to keep this from ever happening again, guys. >> i would imagine there's a big investigation after this. marcus, thank you. now to an nfl quarterback, deshaun watson, punished for alleged sexual misconduct. the league and the players association reaching a deal that will see him suspended for 11 games and fined a record $5 million. ike ejiochi has the story. >> reporter: this morning, cleveland browns quarterback deshaun watson apologizing after being hit with an 11-game suspensi aion fine from the nfl. >> i'm apologizing to everyone that was affected about this whole situation. as i grow as a person, i continue to, you know, know each and every situation so i don't put myself back in the situation i was just in. >> reporter: the ruling from the league is a result of an agreement with the nfl players association, following accusations from over two dozen women of sexual misconduct during the football star's massage therapy sessions. in addition to his unpaid

suspension and a multimillion-dollar fine, watson must undergo a professional evaluation by behavioral experts. and follow their treatment program. the penalties faced by watson among the most severe in league history. their decision comes on the heels of a more lenient initial punishment, a six-game suspension, which nfl leadership including commissioner roger goodell, appealed in favor of more severe consequences. >> we decided it was the right thing to do. we've seen the evidence that there was multiple violations here and it was predatory behavior. >> reporter: but not everyone thinks the league's ruling goes far enough. attorneys of watson's alleged victims firing back in a statement to abc news. "the nfl has certainly demonstrated that its ownership and the organization doesn't care. to all sexual assault survivors, do not allow this recent punishment to deter you. keep speaking up and keep speaking out." now watson's fine plus the

anti-radiation medicine. so that's causing some alarm, and this is all coming as zelenskyy sounded the alarm again, and he's meeting with the u.n. secretary-general calling on the u.n. to help ensure the demilitarization of the nuclear power plant, but that proposal, well, it's being rejected by russia, saying it would make the plant more vulnerable, but as we know in this, both sides have continued to blame each other for the attacks at that plant. gio? >> all right, britt. thank you so much. we're going to turn now to a potential recession -- housing recession, excuse me. the national association of realtors reporting sales of existing homes is down nearly 6% in july compared to june. chief economics corresndbejanssh atans. hey, rebecca. housinmaet at bureil ns.lln jul in more than eight years, so what's really driving all of this? there's a limited supply of homes for sale, and soaring mortgage rates. after starting the year around

3%, the 30-year fixed rate mortgage average is now about 5.5%, way more expensive, and prices still remain stubbornly high as well. the median price of a home sold in july was about $404,000. that is up 10.8% from a year ago, and when you factor all of that together, home affordability is at its worst level since 1989. it has led the national association of realtors to declare as you just said, gio, we are in a housing recession. there's good news here. if you already own and bought in the pandemic, the value of that house is still likely way up, and you locked in the lowest rate mortgage we'll probably see for a long time. amy, if you are out there searching for a new home, it'll take you a long time and you want to be careful not to involve yourself in a major bidding war. amy? >> no bidding wars. i think i speak from experience with that one. rebecca, thank you very much. now to two new health headlines about moderate risk factors that are associated with global canr

cardiovascular disease and some mental health conditions. abc's chief medical correspondent dr. ashton joins us now. let's start with the data about risk factors for cancer deaths. what do we know? what does this data show? >> this is a really interesting study, amy, published in "lancet," really answering the question of what is under our control when it talks about cancer. looking at 23 different types of cancers from all over the world and found controllable risk factors, things about our environment, things about our behavior and our metabolic health can be really, really important, and account for half of all global cancer deaths. so it begs the question, what can we do? the top three, amy. if you smoke, do everything in your power to quit. limit your alcohol intake. we talk about that over and over again, and weight management. eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, losing weight if you are significantly above your ideal weight, incredibly important.

>> and important to know what you can control because there is so much we cannot. let's talk about the other study. this is the relationship between cardiovascular disease and mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. explain. >> and also, how they play out in men versus women. we've also talked about this. and particularly symptoms of a heart attack can differ in men versus women. women are more likely to have more symptoms that almost feel flu-like, although chest pain is still the most common for both men and women. there's much more attention about the connection between our mental health and depression and anxiety being a risk factor for heart disease and also people who have depression and anxiety, possibly being less aware of their risk factors and signs and symptoms of a heart attack. so in terms of prevention, emphasize this. this is so important. address stress if you have it in your life. deal with mental health. it is on par with your physical health in terms of its

importance for heart disease. treat depression and anxiety if you have it, and maintaining social networks for us. incredibly important. you've heard me say it before, amy. we need a checkup from the neck up when you talk about heart disease and heart health. it's important to connect those dots. >> it's a strong connection indeed, and thank you for breaking that all down for us, dr. jen ashton. we appreciate it. thank you. >> you bet. coming up in our "gma" morning menu, how race is playing a part in some teaching jobs in minneapolis. the reaction this morning. and with recruiters saying that resumes with a good photo get more looks, how to pick the headshot that will get you that job. plus, the balance test. can you stand on one foot for ten seconds? well, we'll tell you what that could say about your long-term health. and there's demi lovato on our central park stage. gio, get out there. you're running out the door. >> all right, and listen. we've got to get "cool for the summer" here. we'll get ready.

school year begins in minneapolis. now critics say that the policy's effort to diversify -- will the policy's effort to actually reverse discrimination could be discriminatory. this morning, the minneapolis school district is sticking with its controversial policy to lay off white teachers before minority ones regardless of tenure. previously district-wide layoffs used to be handed out based on seniority. in march, the minneapolis teachers' union negotiated a contract saying that white people's contracts can be exempted from layoffs. the districts telling abc news the contract claims to support the recruitment and retention from people of underrepresented groups. that remedy now prompting legal concerns. >> the supreme court has been really clear on this issue that just having a policy to prefer one race over another in terms of layoffs is clearly a violation of the 14th amendment. >> reporter: special interest

groups say in 2020 students of color and native americans made up 35% of minnesota's k through 12 population, but only 4% of the more than 63,000 teachers in the state were people of color. >> in minneapolis, there's a gap between the diversity of students and the diversity or lack of diversity of a teacher. this is not about trying to pit one racial group of teachers against another. this is about serving students the best. >> reporter: several black educators in minneapolis in agreement with the contract. >> when they see somebody who looks like me and maybe looks like them, they feel a greater sense of connection and belonging in that community. >> i would say that we would first have to start hiring more educational professionals of color and start hiring more licensed teachers of all colors. >> reporter: others believe the new policy will do more harm than good. >> there's different ways that we should be hiring, but we should not be implementing hiring decisions based on the color of people's skin. >> reporter: now, the policy isn't expected to go into effect

until next year. as of now, there's no pending legal action, but legal experts say there could be a challenge to the policy in court in the near future. amy? >> ike ejiochi, thank you for that. and we should mention we have an exclusive interview on "gma3," with president and vice president of the minneapolis federation of teachers. so stay tuned for that. in the meantime, let's turn now to take a look at the efforts of getting your dream job. applicants put so much work into their resumes, but could it actually all come down to your headshot? rebecca javis is back with the latest on how to put your best face forward. hey, rebecca. >> reporter: hey, amy. yeah, so much of recruiting is now online, so how do you stand out in that digital sea? when applying for a job, first impressions can be everything, but before you even land that coveted interview, it's your resume, and if you have one, your headshot that recruiters might see first. >> think of your headshot as like a virtual handshake.

>> reporter: it's your opening salvo. >> reporter: a linkedin career expert says profiles with headshots receive 21 more times profile views on the professional networking site, but not just any photo will do. >> headshots are really important for people's personal brand. i mean, if you go on linkedin and somebody doesn't have a headshot, it's just print on paper about them, and i don't think people get the whole picture. >> reporter: photographer peter hurley has specialized in headshots for 20 years. he says the perfect photo is all about lookability. >> lookability is the image's ability to secure attention from an onlooker. i want them to stop the scroll, stop the feed. look at the linkedin profile. click on it and make it bigger. let's see what this person is all about. what are they giving and what is their essence through the image? >> reporter: meet hunter patterson, an aspiring sports commentator. >> i really didn't have a headshot that i felt comfortable with until my junior year of college. >> reporter: since then he's

updated his headshot twice leveling up his image. >> i wanted to be looking directly at the camera smiling, and i think it played out pretty well. >> right there, hold that. >> reporter: it's a dynamic look that peter hurley says couples confidence with approachability. he calls it the squinch. >> i define squinch as the narrowing of the distance between the lower eyelid and the pupil. >> keep smiling. that's cool. >> reporter: other ways, make sure you dress for the job you want, not the job you have. >> if you were a medical professional, you want a stethoscope. those little things also help people say, oh, i want to have a conversation with this person. >> reporter: and shy away from busy backgrounds. >> i don't want another character in your background. you don't need a supporting role back there. you have a split second of this person viewing you. >> reporter: it's all about the squinch these days. one concern, and this is a valid one with including photos, is that inherent bias could come into play.

linkedin has tools that remove ethnicity and gender in profiles to help recruiters mitigate unfair bias. >> i have a lot of questions about squinch. >> we'll do a whole segment on squinching in the future. >> what is that exactly? what are some other ways you can get potential employers to look at your resume? >> it's not just about a picture. now video is another aspect that you can add to your resume. 80% of recruiters are saying that having that video helps you stand apart. it gives you an eye toward your personality, you authenticity. one thing i would add here is don't forget about your social media profiles. if you don't have a picture or even if you do, that recruiter is probably going to google you and check you out in addition to what you have put out there. >> these days 100%. these kinds of photos, these headshots can be expensive. is there a way to get a quality one without breaking the bank? >> you got your phone, right? everybody can take an excellent photo with your phone. if you're not able to do it

yourself -- a selfie is not always the best move here. look to a friend to really help you go through photos, try different settings. get comfortable, and make sure you're happy with it before you post it. yes, these headshots can be very expensive. it's not the path you have to go through to get the job of your dreams, amy. >> all right, rebecca, thank you. i learned so much. thank you so much for that. >> squinching our way out. >> cecilia? >> we'll see you next week for a segment on squinching. thanks, rebecca. now to tiktok try it, testing out the most popular trends. this morning, it's all about leveling up your dorm and decor, and for that, erielle reshef is here with some designer tips on how to make your room insta-ready. >> these are not the dorm rooms we remember, let's say that. gone are the simple days of the posters and drab decor. enter dorm design transformations, the latest trend sweeping tiktok. >> reporter: from bland to glam, this school year's dorm decor is leveling up. >> it's really not that bad. it just needs a little shaping.

you catch, like, a vibe as to like who we were and what we liked. >> reporter: and if a full design team isn't for you, here's how you can do it yourself. experts say first up, start by hiding the school furniture. >> one of the easiest ways to change the room is to get rid of the desk chair. it makes it not look like a dorm room. >> reporter: and covering the floor with a fun rug. next, lighten up the room. >> we like to have space for two lamps between the beds so both roommates have access to these, and it can really make the space feel brighter and bigger. >> reporter: and finally, use a queen-sized comforter on the twin mattress. >> the queen bedding covers the bed frame well, and it's able to be re-used when the girls move to their next apartment or home. >> it's really nice. i really like it. i love it honestly. >> me too. >> i like that. a queen comforter on your twin bed. i like that one. another tip, don't hang too much on the walls. less clutter is better. you'll be adding to that, of course, the pictures and everything throughout the year, and for this segment, i dug up my own dorm room and let's just say i was not a lesson in style.

check it out. there it is. we've got leopard sheets. don't ask me why. i was more the before picture than the after picture. >> you and me both. >> luckily i've cleaned it up since then. no more wiring basket. the old tv, really. >> no more leopard sheets? >> no more leopard sheets. back to you in central park. >> cecilia, very similar over here, and gio made it, everyone. we just saw him walk up the stairs, so great update. listen to this crowd because they are so ready for demi lovato, but i also -- i got to tell you, they got a picture-perfect morning here. we've got this nice, light breeze. it does not feel like august. boston this morning, really chill too, but you will warm up. the humidity will remain -- yes, you love a boston live shot from earth cam, right? then that heat builds through the weekend, but it will be gorgeous. we'll get a check. speaking of heat, demi lovato's comi drew: morning fog giving way to

afternoon sunshine. a warmer afternoon today compared to yesterday. 70's and 80's around the bay shoreline. 90's in the warmer spots inland. overnight tonight, the marine layer comes in spelling into the bay and pushing inland. 50's and low 60's with coastal drizzle into the weekend. sunday we are sharply cooler all right. now to a sneak speak at this sunday's "$100,000 pyramid." michael welcomes yvette nicole brown and comedian pete holmes. the category for this clip, an angel gets its pings with different ways a person can message you. one of pete's clues didn't go over so well. >> i'm going to sell something, it's like a yard sale -- >> ebay. >> okay, it's a door. what does a door open on? >> hinge. >> yep. i'm going to slide into my -- >> pajamas. >> on twitter, you slide into my -- >> ugh.

>> you never heard the expression slide into my dms? >> you've heard that expression? >> busted. you can see "the $100,000 pyramid" this sunday at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on abc. now, gio, you made it to the park. i made it. we are here, cecilia, and we're all looking for balance in our lives and that's including physical balance. studies have long shown that balance particularly as we age is important to a longer and healthier life. new york fitness instructor ianthe mellors is here to show us those moves. why is balance so important? >> it's so important for everyday life. so whether you're climbing stairs or doing grocery shopping, when you transfer weight side to side, you need to be able to balance, and it's also important for injury prevention, and as we age, we're obviously at risk of falling, so balance is key for preventing that. >> falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide. so ow can standing on one

leg -- how can that prevent that? >> so this balance test which alex is going to demo -- >> this is our intern alex by the way. >> it's so good. if you can stand on one leg for at least ten seconds, yeah. right. let's do it. you significantly reduce the risk of balancing. now, i also love this, it helps you figure out if there's any imbalances in your ankle, your knee or hip, and it's so good for body awareness. your brain can be, like, this is what we're doing. >> okay, you have three moves that you're showing us. i love the first one. this is to help with your balance, right? this is the hip bridge, right? >> this is what's going to happen. you have your feet hip distance apart and you just lift and lower your hips keeping your shoulders on the floor. >> that's the trick, keeping the shoulders down. >> you're really squeezing your bum. your hips upnd lift one heel at a time. >> oh, i've never tried it this way. >> alex is trying to keep her

hips still and that makes sure you're solid in your core. >> number two, what do we got? the bird dog? >> yeah, we have a variation. >> i thought it was a remix. the bird dog remix. >> the remix. you'll reach one arm forwards and open it and close it just, like, a couple of centimeters and then switch to the other arm. this is the easier version. the harder version, you're going to do your legs. once you can do each side five times, we'll do the remix. both arms and legs are going to reach away. >> in ten seconds, tell us your third one. >> right, so it's a squat with a heel raise. do a squat and then shift the weight and then lift one heel. >> awesome. all right. thank you so much, ianthe, and thank you, alex. coming up, the moment we've all been waiting for. demi lovato live right here in times square -- not times square. central park. stick around. [ cheers and applause ] stick around.

second emmy nomination. are you used to it by now? how does it feel the second time around? >> definitely not. i don't think that ever gets old, but this year it's extra exciting because all of the ladies of "lasso" were nominated. >> congratulations. >> yeah, right? >> and you all are so fantastic. there is so much heart and so much humor. can you give me a sense of what it's like being on a show that is so special and so beloved by everyone? >> it still kind of blows my mind actually to be honest with you. i'm a fan of the show. i'm a fan of being a part of the show, i'm a fan of watching the show and watching my friends and new family on the show. honestly, the feedback we get back is what it feels like to be on the show to be truly honest with you. >> all the interactions, i mean, your character is probably one of my absolute favorites because you are so quick witted and yet you are so funny, and we're rooting for you every step of the way because you're vulnerable, and i'm just curious what it's like to be keeley, and

play keeley, and play off all the incredible actors you have there? >> that's what i was going to say. acting is all about reacting and the team of people i get to work with are extraordinary, and saying i'm quick-witted and funny is definitely the writing, but i get the privilege of getting to play a lot of intimate scenes with these cast members because when i do it with them, they're out there in the world, and this season i got to do a lot of intimate scenes with the man who plays nate, the great. nobody change their opinion, and that was magic and roy kent, and of course, rebecca walton, my superhero. >> yes. we got to talk to her when we were in london. and she's such a joy. >> magic. >> incredibly talented. you mentioned season 3. can you give us a sneak peek as to what we're going to get when we watch season three? >> i feel like if i do, i'll probably evaporate somehow and never be seen again. i'm excited for people to see
