7:02 am
i'm just waiting for donna. >> oh, then, maybe i should charge you rent. >> joe e. tata passing away at 85. the tributes from his "beverly hills 90210" co-stars this morning. ♪ hold me closer ♪ plus, hold on for serena's last slam. >> serena, a step closer. >> who she's set to face for the very first time on the u.s. open court. and you don't have to hold on any longer. ♪ hold me closer, tiny dancer ♪ >> elton john and britney spears dropping their collaboration overnight rocketing into tiny dancers' hearts around the world. and, good morning, america. thanks for joining us on this friday. what a perfect way to start the weekend with elton john and britney's new song. catchy, right? >> the control room was rocking out earlier this morning, so thy approve. the internet approves as well.
7:03 am
>> you were shoulder shimmying also. [ laughter ] >> a little embarrassing on tv, but you got the let the music fill your soul. and our party in central park is already getting started. latin music superstar ozuna is here for our "gma" summer concert series. can't wait for that too. >> that is going to be a lot of fun, but we do have a lot of news to get to this morning, starting, of course, with this new development in the fallout from the search of mar-a-lago and this crucial document set to be released today. the big question right now, will we learn more about what exactly the fbi was looking for in former president trump's florida home. >> sensitive portions will be redacted and our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is outside the department of justice with more on all of this. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: amy, good morning. today we have every indication we will get some additional answers to the question that is has now gripped the city for weeks. why did the fbi search the home of former president trump? a federal judge has ordered the justice department to release by noon today a redacted version of the affidavit filed in the search of trump's resort.
7:04 am
the blueprint which reveals what federal prosecutors were looking for and why it was so urgent to take the dramatic and unprecedented step of raiding mar-a-lago. as of last night, the justice department had no plans to appeal the judge's decision, so today we expect to see the release of the affidavit with some critical information omitted including the names of witnesses and where the investigation may be heading with hints of who may be the targets. an investigation so sensitive, president biden was not briefed on the search. >> i didn't have any advance notice, none, zero, not one single bit. >> reporter: the justice department had argued that a full release of the affidavit could expose grand jury information, the direction of a highly sensitive national security investigation and put potential witnesses at risk. prosecutors told the court a heavily redacted document might be meaningless to the public, but the judge has decided that more information must be released, and there's the possibility that the document still could provide some investigative narrative and
7:05 am
additional details on the origins of the probe and the search including negotiation with president trump's legal team and perhaps a suggestion about the timing of the raid. republicans have been demanding answers. >> if you're going to use the espionage act and if you're going to pursue this criminal investigation, you have to prove intent. >> reporter: according to a newly released document from the national archives this week, president trump had more than 700 pages of classified documents when he left the white house including some of the nation's most sensitive secrets, among them so-called "special access programs," materials which may relate to national defense and other intelligence. >> the fact that this had markings like top secret, sensitive information or that applying to special programs is really terrifying from an intel perspective. >> reporter: the former president had been negotiating with the national archives and doj for months to return the
7:06 am
se materials and was even subpoenaed for the documents. sources telling abc news in june an attorney for trump claimed in a statement to the justice department that all such materials had been returned. but when the fbi searched the property on august 8th, more classified secret and top secret documents were recovered including top secret/sci which may involve nuclear secrets and intelligence from allies, electronic eavesdropping and spies. trump seemed to argue that he declassified these documents without providing any proof and that some of the classified material may have been planted by the fbi, a claim he's also offered no evidence to back up. amy. >> pierre thomas at the justice department, thank you, pierre. whit. amy, overseas, now to the latest on the war in ukraine, and new concerns about europe's largest nuclear power plant, caught in the war zone as vladimir putin orders a massive expansion of the russian army. britt clennett is on the ground there in ukraine. britt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. yeah, president zelenskyy warning again of a potential
7:07 am
radiation disaster. that's after the russian occupied zaporizhzhia power plant disconnected from ukraine's power grid. this morning, ukraine's nuclear agency sounding the alarm on that situation at europe's largest nuclear power plant, which disconnected from the grid yesterday for the first time in history. >> it was very serious deterioration of the situation at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and it happened because -- due to russian shelling. >> reporter: saying emergency backup diesel generators were able to restore power to the plants. what's the likelihood that it's going to happen again? >> just one step from radiation emergency actually, so if this is just last defense. >> reporter: the satellite images show smoke near the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant where ukrainian regulators say russian shelling knocked all six of the plant's reactors offline, and president zelenskyy reiterating the seriousness of
7:08 am
this threat saying, russia has put ukraine and all europeans in a situation one step away from a radiation disaster, and in a call with president biden, the two leaders discussed the situation on the ground, both calling for the plant to return to ukrainian control. with the war in its sixth month and russia facing massive casualties in ukraine, vladimir putin adding another 137,000 troops to russia's military by 2023. and the nuclear agency head told us this morning inspectors could access the plant as early as five days' time and hopes that negotiators agree on setting up a demilitarized zone to prevent a potential disaster. >> still a lot of concern around the plant, thank you. >> cecilia. president biden facing pushback from some members of his own party over the plan to forgive student loans for millions of americans. many democrats now concerned about its possible impact on the party's chances in november. but the president, he touted that plan at a rally overnight. >> and thanks to our historic
7:09 am
deficit reduction, we can afford to cancel $10,000 in student debt and $20,000 if you're on a pell grant for tens of millions of americans making under $125,000. this is a game changer. >> the campaign officially under way and rachel scott joins us. rachel, in spite of the criticism from some democrats, the president certainly hoping this will be a winning issue come november. >> reporter: yes, cecilia, good morning. the president was not shy about touting a recent string of accomplishments and political wins hoping it provides fresh momentum for democrats heading into the very critical midterm elections. believe it or not, they are less than 75 days away, so the president held this campaign rally in maryland and used some of his strongest language yet against republicans calling some of their philosophy semi-fascism but obviously democrats are facing an uphill challenge. the president's approval ratings have been low as americans deal with record high inflation and some democrats that are running
7:10 am
in these very tight races are not thrilled by his recent announcement to cancel student loan debt for millions of americans. congressman jared golden of maine said that this decision is out of touch. congressman tim ryan running for senate in ohio says this sends the wrong message to americans without degrees, who are still struggling to make ends meet, cecilia. >> you know we've been pushing the white house for so many days about what the price tag is for american taxpayers on this plan. white house officials finally giving some kind of clues overnight. >> reporter: yes, cecilia. i know you've repeatedly press the white house on this. they have been vague, really struggling to try to come up with an answer to the question, so overnight, the white house press secretary estimates it could cost the government $24 billion a year if 75% of eligible loan borrowers participate in this program, but that is pretty low compared to some outside estimates that say it could cost the government $500 billion over the course of the next ten years, cecilia. >> thanks so much, amy. cecilia, this morning, all eyes are on the stock market as
7:11 am
the chairman of the federal reserve chair gears up for a speech about the next interest rate hike, and that could have an immediate effect on the economy. chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis has more on that. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: hey, amy, good morning to you, and the reason we care so much about this speech is that whatever fed chair jerome powell says at this annual symposium in jackson hole, wyoming, will almost certainly move markets and send stocks higher or lower and, most importantly, will foreshadow what happens to interest rates, the price you pay to borrow moaning. new mortgages, car loans and credit cards, all these things will be impacted by what powell says today. what he's likely to say is that the fed is committed to hiking interest rates to try to slow inflation, which is currently 8.5%. that while gas prices have dropped for more than 70 straight days, falling more than a dollar a gallon since mid-june, groceries and rents continue to weigh on american consumers and the fed will keep aggressively fighting to make things more manageable. he's also likely to argue that the economy is not in a recession and the jobs market
7:12 am
remains strong, amy. >> so, rebecca, the fed committed to raising those interest rates. what do we know about the next one? >> well, we know there will not be an interest rate policy change coming out of this meeting but interest rates next month are certainly likely to go higher. in real terms the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage has gone from about 3% at the start of the year to more than 5.5% today. so, if you think about what that would mean on a $240,000 mortgage, the cost of owning a new home has gone up from about $1,025 a month at the start of this year to more than $1,363 per month today. amy. >> that's a big jump for a lot of people, rebecca. thank you so much. whit. all right, amy, now to more rain overnight in hard-hit mississippi and another flash flood emergency this morning. trevor ault is in brandon, mississippi, with more. trevor, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. so the worst of this storm system is supposed to be behind
7:13 am
us and yet, look at the pearl river here, continuing to rise. we've got picnic benches, trash cans swamped. in fact, yesterday we were live on "good morning america" at a place in town. this is the spillway for the barnett reservoir. all of that water has been pooling from the other side, and they've been trying to do controlled releases. you see the current as it's rushing all the way through. they've actually had it on pause overnight and they're about to let it go to the point that we were just told by reservoir police that we need to get out of here in the next couple of minutes because this water level is about to rise up over the rocks, up into the parking lot to about the height of our side mirrors here too, and officials have said this river has flooded and could crest higher than it ever has in major flood stage, and now they're telling the residents here who have been battling this water for several days that they need to consider evacuaing. whit? >> and quite an alarming picture behind you. trevor, thank you. cecilia? we're going to turn now to california's landmark step
7:14 am
banning the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035. our chief national correspondent matt gutman spoke with california governor gavin newsom and he has more on all of that. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, cecilia. yeah, that ban the first in the nation. 17 states expected to follow, and governor newsom told me that he actually found some unexpected allies in automakers, including detroit's big three, who themselves are setting similar goals for producing zero-emission vehicles in about a decade or so. late thursday they voted to make the tailpipe go the way of the horse and buggy. >> madam chair, the motion passes. >> reporter: the new directive will require california to double the number of zero-emission cars on the road, and will ban gasoline-only cars by 2035. >> in california this is a game changer as it relates to the environment. there's nothing else that will move the needle more on greenhouse gases.
7:15 am
>> reporter: california's the fifth largest economy in the world and 50% of its greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation. governor gavin newsom today calling the plan a tipping point for the country with 17 states including new york expected to follow. >> our opportunity now to tip this for the rest of the country presents itself. >> reporter: in a statement to abc news, ford praised the ruling calling it a landmark standard that will define clean transportation. newsom saying statements like that future proof the ruling. >> the companies will lead that charge. they know where the future is. >> reporter: environmental groups say the plan does not go far enough while auto trade groups consider the speed of change too fast. they cite supply chain woes, most notably the critical minerals used in batteries. and there are two additional big challenges, the first is infrastructure. can they produce enough charging stations fast enough to accommodate all these new electric vehicles? second is affordability. it's a big one right now. electric cars are about 50% more expensive than gasoline-powered vehicles, but industry analysts
7:16 am
tell us as the competition increases in that space, that will drive down prices. cecilia. >> interesting to see if other states follow suit there. okay, matt, thanks so much. we turn now to serena williams gearing up for her last u.s. open. the tennis great announcing her retirement and now we find out who she will face next week. janai norman is at the u.s. open site in queens. good morning, janai. >> reporter: amy, good morning to you. this stadium has been the backdrop of so many of serena williams' show-stopping performances. this is where she won her first of 23 grand slam titles in 1999, just 17 years old. fast forward and the first match is now set in what is expected to be the last tournament for serena in this year's u.s. open. on monday she will face off against danka kovinic of montenegro, the first time ever and this is all anyone will be talking about. serena's announcement earlier this month that she will be evolving away from tennis,
7:17 am
sending ticket sales soaring, and of course we've seen those images of the six-time u.s. open champ practicing for one of the most highly anticipated matches of her career, and she has won so many of them here at arthur ashe stadium, but it's been a rough go as of late. she lost five of her last six matches, one of the greatest athletes of our time who spent more than 300 weeks ranked at number one now currently at number 410 but she's also now a wife and mother. she turns 41 a month from today. many considering this year's u.s. open the swan song to her storied career that we've all borne witness to, amy. >> we certainly have and have enjoyed every step of it. >> in other tennis news, not a lot surprised by this, we learned that novak djokovic will not be in new york for the u.s. open. >> reporter: yeah, amy, and this has been an ongoing issue for him. the 21-time grand slam winner is not vaccinated against covid. his vaccination status infamously kept him from the first major, the australian open, and because non-u.s. citizens who are not vaccinated
7:18 am
are not allowed in the country, djokovic couldn't participate in the u.s. open even if he wanted to, amy. >> all right, janai, thank you so much. we're following a lot of other headlines including our exclusive interview with the 6-year-old girl who saved herself from an alleged kidnapping attempt right in her front yard. what her family wants you to know. and the remarkable rescue, the father and son saved at sea in boston. it was all caught on camera but first let's head over to ginger. hey. good morning, cecilia. speaking of boston, the heat, the humidity and ingredients are coming together for severe storms today so started with an earth cam from boston there, remember, they do need rain but probably don't want it with the one to three inches at a time and as it comes through, it's not just boston but hartford back to maybe manchester, springfield there, worcester, all going to be included with damaging wind being your main threat and isolated tornadoes are possible. this morning, i also wanted to mention southwest of where trevor was there are training thunderstorms coming right up the mississippi, a flash flood warning, they've already had three inches in some places and will get another three very quickly.

>> reporter: good morning to you, amy. it happened in an instant. the suspect inappropriately grabbing that little girl just feet from her front door, but the terrifying encounter lasted just seconds thanks to kennedy's quick thinking, and now the nashes are sharing what she did to save herself and the essential conversation every family should have with their kids. this morning, the chilling moment a little girl fights off an alleged abductor.

[ screaming ]
7:34 am
>> he wouldn't have let go of her if she wouldn't have pulled and screamed like she did. >> reporter: the man quickly letting go. the whole encounter lasting less than ten seconds. the distraught little girl running inside for help. her dad ricky jumping into his car following the man while on the line with authorities. >> i chased him like he still had my kid, definitely didn't want him to be able to go snatch another kid. >> reporter: police arresting 33-year-old deric mcpherson, now charged with abduction and gross sexual imposition. >> when the cops put him in handcuffs, it took so much anguish away. >> reporter: kennedy shaken but safe. you lived through this incident, but then when you watch the video what are your thoughts? >> it made me cry. >> that has to stop your heart as a parent. >> it's forever etched in our minds, that scream, so always be with us. >> reporter: the nashes talked to their four girls about how to
7:35 am
fight off an attacker, never imagining they'd have to put that lesson into practice. as parents you think my kid is young, i don't know that they're asorbing what i'm saying, but it turns out kennedy was listening to you. >> yes. yes, she did. and she used it. >> reporter: the parents say if not for their 6-year-old's quick action, the outcome would have been much worse. >> how proud are you that your 6-year-old had the wherewithal to scream and get herself out of that situation? >> i'm so proud of her. so proud of her because as soon as she screamed he let go, so obviously, you know, it does work. >> and it was so good to see kennedy smiling again. kennedy's parents say they are gratefulthat both of them were home at the time her mom had just gone inside to put groceries away and say it is still surreal tjat this happened to their little girl and they want every parent to know that this could happen, amy, in the blink of an eye. >> yeah, that is so frightening for every parent to see, erielle, thank you so much for
7:36 am
that. for more let's bring in callahan walsh, the advocate at the ational center for missing & exploited children. thanks for being with us, callahan. first, let's walk through what these parents, what kennedy did right. >> well, she did everything right in this case. she was kicking, screaming, pulling away. it's exactly what we teach kids what to do when a would-be abductor tries to grab them. there's a lot to learn from these attempted abductions and we have been analyzing attempted abductions for over a decade at the center and we know that over 83% of the time, when a child is able to get away from their would-be abductor, something that they did proactively like kicking, screaming or pulling away, exactly what she did in this case, she's the reason why she's home safe tonight. >> it's really remarkable and yes, she's just 6 years old but her parents had spoken to her about what to do if something like this would happen. a lot of parents want to know when the right time is, when are they too young to know? what might it scare them? when you have these opportunities to put something
7:37 am
like this into practice? >> right. well, you know, it's up to every household to determine that. but we suggest to start young and make sure that messaging is simple and easy for your young kids to understand. start with things like walking through your neighborhood. pointing out which houses your child could go to in an emergency, what your neighbors' names are. what their parents' full names are, what phone number and what home address they have. these are things you can teach your young kids, the basics of child safety. as they get older so should the messaging, and so really make sure when you start young that it's simple, easy for kids to understand and it's not overwhelming. >> callahan walsh, thank you so much for walking us through that. we appreciate your time. we turn to that remarkable rescue in boston. police racing to save a father and son whose boat crashed into rocks while they were out lobster fishing. these harrowing moments were caught on body camera and abc's will reeve has the story. hey, will. >> reporter: good morning,

8:19 am
audience members that it's okay to treat people this way and in some ways that may have opened the door for real aggression towards this boy. >> reporter: experts say bullying online is a pervasive problem. a 2021 study that surveyed over 2,500 students between the ages of 13 and 17 found about 46% had experienced cyberbullying. >> we know from research that cyberbullying can deeply affect your sense of safety at school and your academic performance. low self-esteem, anxiety, family problems, so this is a very impactful experience for a young person that can leave a mark. >> reporter: and bravo saying in a statement we are shocked and appalled at the social comments directed at garcelle's son and we urge our followers to refrain from targeting our cast and their families with harmful rhetoric. that sentiment echoed by so many of the cast mates from across the franchise and we can all agree it has to stop. >> bullies and trolls are constantly looking for a target. he's only 14.

8:23 am
of land that make up our national park system but urban sprawl and climate change are influencing migration making us neighbors. with wild animals. >> we know black bears in the west when there's drought come into the cities more often to supplement their diet, so there are examples of climate change actually impacting those kind of migrations as well and as habitat shrinks animals have no place to go but become our neighbors. >> reporter: nat geo reporting on how that can adapting so while coyotes in the wild usually spend days hunting for food, in chicago they're active at night. >> the fear in chicago, when balking down the magnificent mile with shopping bags, there's very possibly a coyote that's sleeping in a ditch right next to you and you have no idea. that shows they're savvy enough to realize to avoid people and make a living they have to be awake at night. >> reporter: in the big apple peregrine falcons were once in danger but now they perch atop the statue of liberty.
8:24 am
>> they prefer new york city over any wild areas, because of the tall buildings they are able to nest on the perches of the buildings and they eat pigeons. so they have everything they need. >> reporter: now, as the climate and landscape of our national parks and country continue to change, researchers are focusing their attention on these city dwellers, looking for ways we can both thrive and co-exist together. >> scientists want to figure out how we're going to lead with these animals. for me, the best approach is to view them as animals that are just trying to make a living just like us. they want to survive. they're adapting and the best way is to co-exist with them and understand that most of our interactions with wildlife are positive ones. >> now, experts say we can have positive and even beneficial interactions, t.j., with these urban wildlife sharing our space, all we have to do is take minor steps. every day you can secure your trash.
