classified documents trump handed over in january, 92 of them marked secret and 25 marked top secret. the justice department says those documents included information about clandestine human sources, in other words, spies, informants, whose lives could be endangered if their identities were revealed. today, doj is also expected to provide that federal judge a more detailed list of everything the fbi took in their dramatic search more than three weeks ago. george? >> we will see if that changes the judge's inclination. okay, pierre, thanks very much. michael? >> thank you, george. now to the latest on the deadly supermarket shooting in oregon. police say one of the victims was also a hero, an employee who tried to disarm the gunman. elwyn lopez is in bend, oregon, with more. good morning, elwyn. >> reporter: yeah, michael, good morning. police say one of the victims a hero, a 66-year-old grocery store worker who they say might have saved lives confronting the gunman. this morning, police say a 66-year-old grocery store worker

o'hare, los angeles' l.a.x., among others. and of course this comes as the embattled airline industry is dealing with unprecedented flight delays, cancellations and, frankly, just unhappy passengers. pilots are calling on the airlines to address operational problems they say are causing all of these problems, the delays and the cancellations, and they say that they want the airline management to prioritize passengers and to recognize the sacrifices made by pilots during the pandemic when they say that they were overworked and exhausted. domestic airlines lost thousands of pilots during the pandemic, mostly due to early retirements and contributing to the significant industrywide pilot shortage. now, this morning, delta responding to the planned protests saying this is only informational picketing done merely by off-duty pilots and it will not impact airline operations and travel plans, of course, all of this coming as we approach the -- what is expected to be the busy labor day holiday weekend with 12.7 million people expected to travel specifically to fly, george. >> okay, it's going to be a busy one. okay, mola, thanks very much.

looking at this very, very closely today to see how much work has to be done. michael? >> all right, thank you so much for that, gio. and now we are going to serena williams. she's not going into retirement without a fight. the 23-time grand slam champ won her first round match at the u.s. open in front of a record-shattering crowd. lara was 1 of the lucky 29,000 fans at arthur ashe stadium for the thrilling match. we're going to say good morning to you now, lara. hey. >> reporter: thrilling, it was. in her 23-year career serena williams has never lost in the opening round of the u.s. open, despite all the enormity of the moment, knowing this might be her last singles match ever, last night would be no different. >> the greatest of all time, serena williams. >> reporter: from the opening point it was clear this was a first round match unlike any other. the sold-out crowd roaring. >> wow!

prosecutor and the defense for former lawyer alex murdaugh, accused of killing his wife and son. the duke volleyball player who said a fan yelled racist slurs at her during a match tells her story. her family is calling for accountability. first, let's go back to ginger. >> i don't know if you saw that post about zombie ice in gree greenland. i thought i'd explain. greenland has that shelf, it's one of two, antarctica and greenland. it has ice up to 100,000 years old but on top you get the fresh snow that falls, compacts and makes new ice. that's the cycle. it's like a conveyer belt. what is happening, these scientists have just found is that that new ice is being starved of snow. now we know the arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the world. so you don't have the snow on top of that old ice. that old ice becomes dead ice and that's why they're calling it zombie ice. greenland melt then, they say, will give with that zombie ice alone a minimum of 10 to 30 inches of sea level rise. that is huge when it comes to storms. we'll have much more. let's get a check a little closer to home.

was other attorneys involved in other murdaugh cases. >> the problem is, is that inevitably a number of people as the case is prepared have to get access to that information and the whole point is to have this not fall in the wrong hands. this case is unique, it's unprecedented in south carolina history. this information literally was probably worth over a million dollars. >> reporter: through the whole back and forth, alex murdaugh sat in silence. a judge deciding the evidence must be shared but putting strict controls on how, putting a temporary protective order in place. >> appreciate the judge's order that this is a temporary protective order and that he's going to refine it and make it less obtrusive, less restrictive. >> reporter: it was june of 2021 when alex murdaugh made a 911 call claiming he found his wife maggie and their 22-year-old son paul shot to death outside their home. >> my name is alex murdaugh. please hurry. neither one of them is moving. >> reporter: in july, murdaugh was indicted by a south carolina grand jury for their deaths.

like did i hear that right? like i didn't really believe it. >> reporter: duke sophomore rachel richardson says she and her black teammates were targeted with racial slurs and threats during their game against rival byu over the weekend. >> the next time i went back to serve i was like, okay, yep, i definitely heard that right. i immediately told one of my most trusted teammates. i was like just heard someone use a racial slur like to address me essentially. >> reporter: richardson taking to twitter saying the heckling lasted for the entire match and when it turned to threats they began to feel unsafe. she says both the officials and byu coaching staff were made aware of the incident during the game, but failed to take the necessary steps to stop the unacceptable behavior and create a safe environment.>> my my tea they responded immediately to the best of their ability because in that moment keyo, >> reporter: byu confirming that the fan accused of launching

those attacks is not a student and that they are now permanently banned by byu. >> even if, as i say it wasn't a student who was doing this, there are students nearby and so the fact that they didn't know what to do in the moment to call him out or to let him know that's not accepted here, you need to stop, like, that's not wanted here. it's a level of ignorance and so if there's a lack of knowledge on racism and how to deal with it, that's how you have things continue to happen. >> reporter: the next night, the byu athletic director with strong words for their supporters. >> cheer them on as loud as you can but do not cross the line where you would hurt or harm anyone in any way. >> reporter: richardson has thanked him for his support and says he has been at the forefront making sure his athletes get the proper education and training to handle any similar encounter effectively. richardson's father saying, although she's receiving overwhelming support there's need for more action and accountability. >> if you're standing in that crowd and someone is doing that next to you, what is progress?

progress is someone saying, hey, stop that. >> reporter: for rachel, she others. >> i'm not the first person. i'm not the last person. this isn't an isolated incident. it's an opportunity for not just me but for anyone who has an opinion, anyone who has a voice to decide that it should be the last time. >> reporter: so some say the duke volleyball team should have protested and stopped playing the match. rachel said that that never even crossed her mind. they were there to play volleyball. that's what they did. she added that she doesn't believe this one person or even those in the crowd nearby are reflective of byu's values. i was really impressed with how she's handling this. >> a lot of grace. >> yes, completely. >> thank you so much, janai. coming up next, you're looking live at what's being called the spanish stonehenge, ancient stones seen for the first time in decades. our james longman is there. james, tell us what you're seeing. >> reporter: yeah, hi, michael. this is the dolmen of guadalperal, the spanish

our foreign correspondent james longman is at the extraordinary site of one of them in spain. good morning, again, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning. michael. this is the dolmen of guadalperal, the spanish stonehenge. it is something like 5,000 to 7,000 years old. it's absolutely extraordinary, but we shouldn't be seeing it. it should be underwater. this entire area should have a much higher water level and that is because there's a massive drought in europe at the moment, the worst in 500 years, but it has meant some extraordinary discoveries. monuments from the past warning us about our future. the lmntonolit ste datisome years before christ. made up of 150 granite stones famous stonehenge, there are all kinds of theories on what this mysterious place was for.

[speaking non-english] >> oh, it's a human. this is the main stone at the front of the tomb and it's anthropomorphic so it's supposed to be in if form of a human and on the front is a serpent and that is thought it was on all kinds of tombs in the prehistoric era and it was for protection. it's possible it was used as a solar temple or as a burial ground by prehistoric communities. roman remains have also been found nearby. these stones were discovered about 100 years ago, but then in the 1960s this whole area was flooded to make way for a reservoir. when the water recedes, archaeologists are thrilled. climate scientists not so much. they say it's a warning about dangerously high temperatures. europe is in its worst drought in 500 years. france, italy, germany and the uk all issuing heat and drought warnings. take a look in france. the greenery of august in lyon last year compared to this.

farmers losing valuable land to drought and wildfires. thousands losing lives and livelihoods hitting crop harvests and driving up food prices. all across the continent other discoveries show the scale of europe's heat wave, like these 20 nazi warships re-emerging from the retreating danube river after decades under the surface. this ancient bridge revealed in italy built for the emperor nero nearly 2,000 years ago. and perhaps the most ominous sign, what are called hunger stones, carvings written to commemorate historic droughts, this one carved in 1616 reads, if you see me, weep. now, this reservoir is at just 23% capacity. take a look. everywhere you see sand, everywhere you see these sandy banks right up to the tree line, that is where the water should be, and water scarcity is really serious. obviously for crops, farmers are unable to produce food.

that sends food prices up for the rest of us, but we're all talking about energy and we're all trying to find ways to make cleaner and cheaper energy and europe uses water to generate energy a lot. they have hydroelectric dams, nuclear power and this summer, because of this drought, energy capacity has been really badly hit. so in so many ways this weather, climate change, it just really badly affects our lives even though we get to see incredible things. this really is a warning from the past, guys. >> yeah, the drought really is affecting us and you'd rather not see it. >> important story there. >> absolutely. thank you so much, james. coming up later, lebron james, his first interview with his sons talking about their future and, of course, his own. and next, we have our "play of the day." ♪ ♪

what was it about her and some of the things that she did in design that inspired to you do this. >> first of all, i love the way she was a feminist, embraced women's empowerment in the '40s. that was quite radical and she gave women a sense of freedom and individuality and wanted women to dress for themselves, not for their boyfriend or husband. many of her ideas were unheard of back then, but so part of today and relevant 75 years later. >> including what you're wearing this morning with the stitching. >> i wore this dress because she not only was the first to put zippers and pockets on dresses and she got rid of corsets, but taking menswear stitching. >> giving up corsets was enough to cement her in the history books. >> but understood a woman's body and knew how to make women feel confident, beautiful, worth it, made dresses that were incredibly flattering. >> have you incorporated any of her design techniques into your own clothing? >> interestingly during the pandemic i had time to think about the essence of what

inspired me personally and i really thought about her. i hadn't thought about her since college and she in a way has come into my life in many ways. ballet flats, i redid ballet flats when i first started the company. she was one of the first women to modernize ballet flats. >> when you think about all those things you listed and how much of a staple they are, zippers, buttons, clasps, she's just legendary. >> she broke the rules, that's something i love. i think -- when i think about women's empowerment and we have a foundation that focuses on that, she was the first woman to rally stand up for women. and that's what i love about her. >> part is in her business in >> part of that i was reading was in her business in the entrepreneurial side, she was the first -- tell me about this. she was the first woman to put her name on the clothes in a label, not just the manufacturer. >> it was amazing and she was never looking at couture in paris. people from paris were looking at her and she had a dress that was $15 at the time.

>> what do you hope women like me might be learning about her story for the first time take away from this? >> i think it's important to know you can beat to your own drum, break the mold and i think that's what she did. she set the stage for years and years of women to be able to do that. >> there's a lesson to be learned even today in dressing and designing today, something you still incorporate when you think about clothing now. >> yeah, i mean be your own person. dress for yourself. be creative and think about confidence and that's -- when a woman tells mow they feel confident in our collection it's the best compliment. >> you have your foundation as well. you mentioned it. you're so -- being a leader for women and inspiring women in the business is so important to you, as well. >> yeah, in every business. we focus on women and business, all businesses and i think women are great investments. the fact we're having an issue with women being able to get the proper funding they need is horrific because at the end of the day they're amazing for the economy. >> tory burch, thank you so much. >> thank you.

>> throw away the heels if they're not comfortable, right? >> if the shoes aren't comfortable, get rid of them. >> "what shall i wear?" is available right now. you will want to read this. coming up, regina hall here with us live telling us about her new movie. stay with us. us live telling u her new movie. stay with us. >> building a bett,

[ laughter ] welcome back to "gma." you got to tell us about the movie. you play the first lady of a southern baptist church. >> yes, well, a southern baptist megachurch. >> megachurch. >> so we have a lot of things. [ laughter ] >> sterling k. brown, your husband, is the pastor. >> he plays pastor lee-curtis childs and i play trinitie childs and so our church has been rocked with a scandal and we are planning to re-open it on easter sunday and we've hired a

documentary crew to kind of, you know, document this grand -- >> let's give everybody a look. [ laughter ] >> sanctuary in the church we have the saying, come as you are. that's mostly sentiment. sure, you could roll out of bed and come praise the lord in your t-shirt and flip-flops, i guess, but we also have another saying, god don't like ugly. [ laughter ] >> and this is a mockumentary style film. how was it playing straight to the camera? >> you know what, it was really good because there are moments like there's some moments of gravity. so being able to do a mockumentary style allows you to go back and forth, realizing that the camera is there and

then, you know, when they're obviously on camera they're larger than life and so i kind of liked it. it was kind of fun. >> how much improv was there for this? >> there was a lot. shake it for the lord is in there. [ laughter ] that actually wasn't -- that wasn't scripted but you know, the great thing about our director adamma ebo, she never yelled cut and she went an extra five minutes without yelling cut so we just were -- then we were just talking. shaking it for the lord. the line ended when it was like you're not getting that many beeps. and then camera kept rolling so -- >> there you go. >> some of your best stuff. >> jordan peele is one of the executive producers. will we see you in one of his horror films? >> yes, jordan. now that i've learned to do that. it would be great.

the first time i met jordan i worked with him and he told me he would do this kind of genre of horror comedy and it was during the "key & peele" show and i thought, this man is never going to work. this is it. and then, of course, like i think a year or two later "get out" came out. >> and he's working. >> and then some. >> you've done it all on the screen. but what people don't know is you have a masters in journalism. >> if you had taken that path where do you think you'd be right now? >> she'd be sitting right here. >> sitting in this chair. >> that seat is looking real nice, michael. that seat is looking real -- [ laughter ] >> not good morning, good-bye. >> i wanted to produce segments like long story packages. >> control room right now is getting your contact information. [ laughter ] you know we won't let you leave without asking about "girls trip 2." you're in production. can you give us any sneak peeks? >> i hate disappointing. we're not in production.

>> you're not? >> no, not yet. >> tell us everything. what can you tell us? >> i just can't wait to see the script. [ laughter ] >> but it's going to happen. >> it is going to happen. >> okay. >> from what i've been told. i did hear that they're writing, everyone announced so i think it's probably just, you know, everything gets slowed down with schedules and with, you know, it was going to move and then omicron happened. there's a new covid wiggle coming every few months. >> looking forward to a reunion? >> i am. it's going to be really, really nice. i mean i've seen the girls, obviously, but to work together again and, you know, i just saw malcolm and it'll be great to have everyone back together all at once. >> the flossy posse. >> yes. i forgot the flossy posse and did like this. then i was like, oh, that wakanda. i did it all wrong.

they're going to place "ice, ice baby" for you. welcome back, it's day two of our series, "gma's" sweetest spots in america on the hunt across the country for the best desserts. will reeve brought us ice cream sandwiches yesterday. this morning he is in philly where it's all about the ice cream sundae. will, tell us everything we need to know. >> reporter: i mean, cecilia, there is nothing like an ice ceam sundae. it's the quintessential dessert. it's the best thing going, my favorite dessert and these people as well. we're outside the franklin fountain in the city of brotherly love which is fitting bcause brothers eric and ryan run the place and everyone loves an ice cream sundae and i would argue everyone across america loves an ice cream sundae. take a look. ♪ it's dipped, whipped and served with a cherry on top. the ice cream sundae is an american classic and all across the country parlors are dishing them out the old-fashioned way. like in florida, jackson's, a place that's called home here since 1956.

>> our ice cream is homemade on premise. we have over 60 flavors. they happen to be my dad's secret recipe and still doing it today. >> reporter: the owner, linda, and her staff whipping up thousands of gallons of ice cream every week. >> one of our most popular ones is the half and half. it's two classic sundaes in one. it's going to have half with hot fudge, half with our caramel and all ice cream sundaes are topped with a cherry and american flag. ♪ >> reporter: in new york city, eddie's sweet shop has been a staple in the community for almost 100 years. >> here at eddie's, come have ice cream the way your grandparents had it. >> reporter: owner vito keeping it in the family and old school, serving up the popular banana royale sundae. >> we don't split them in half. we slice them up and put in three scoops of ice cream, syrup or topping of your choice, chipped cream and nuts. >> reporter: and the ice cream

bar opened in san francisco as a neighborhood bar in 2012. >> we have a back bar, marble counter and soda fountain from the 1930s and some recipes go back to the 1880s. >> reporter: her version of the banana split offers a more modern twist. >> three flavor, hot fudge, butterscotch sauce, whipped cream, almonds and a caramelized banana. >> reporter: no matter how you top it, each bite guaranteed to be sweet. according to the farmer's almanac the ice cream sundae was invented in the late 1800s due to blue laws where pharmacists who served ice cream soda weren't allowed to serve soda or liquor on sundays so they replaced them with hot fudge. thus, the sundae was born and how grateful we all are for that, cecilia. >> will, you seem like you're surviving this hardship post for the second day in a row. tell us about the spot in philly trying to keep the tradition

alive. >> reporter: i am on the dessert tour of america and i have to get to work. so i'll put on my hat as i turn over to brothers eric and ryan. they own the franklin fountain which is about as old school an ice cream parlor as you can possibly get. i had to get into character with them. you guys started this in 2004 and i wonder, where the idea came from and what do you do here that makes it so special. >> thanks, will. we grew up in an antique shop and learned a lot about american history growing up and we were inspired by the old pictures of the soda fountains and when our family got this building, we saw it and we were like, gosh, this is like an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. we just saw that vision and we wanted to bring it to life, bring the past to life. >> well, speaking of the past you have a sundae called the mount vesuvius, looks incredibly delicious. how do you make it? what's in it? may i please have some. >> sure, one of our inspirations

was from the dispenser's formulary from 1915. we're into old books and it was a name called the mount vesuvius which is the mountain of pompeii, where you start with vanilla ice cream and chocolate ice cream. and then i'll add -- >> i'm holding these brownies -- one is down. i dropped it. okay. five-second rule not on tv. throwing brownies in there. >> and the brownies are to represent the boulders. >> really is like a volcano. >> and we're going to add some hot fudge. >> okay. >> as the lava, brother ryan.

>> yeah. >> you can see an illustration here. >> and then, of course, next to you, ryan, you have what you really need, the whipped cream on top, right? and in addition to that, wait, what's this? >> this malt powder goes as the ash. >> wow, you really got everything. >> and then, ryan, this to me looks like the perfect sundae but in your mind how do you make the perfect sundae. a quick list of the best ingredients. > your favorite ice cream, chocolate or vanilla is a great base for all sundaes, fruit or a baked good, add some dynamic texture and then a hot ingredient is like the best. hot caramel. hot fudge. and then what tops a sundae? whipped cream and, well, a cherry but if you don't have a cherry, malt powder will do. >> before we go, tell us about your have a heart sundae you make. it seems the way you give back to the community and staffers. >> the have a heart sundae we give $2 back to a local charity. >> amazing. >> coming up in september, it's going to be mighty writers that help young people think critically and write clearly and it starts with vanilla and strawberry ice cream and then we

have strawberry topping. >> here it is. the finished product right here. we're making another one. you guys will get this. everyone, you go get yourself a sundae as summer comes to a close. let's give a round of applause for eric and ryan. >> reporter: the dessert tour continues. i have the best job in the world. [ applause ] >> you sure do, will. we all here are -- well, i was going to say but one person in particular next to me is really enjoying his ice cream sundae. >> i was eating and then i was done. >> wrong shot. not george. it's this guy here. guys, you can get this recipe on our website at goodmorningamerica.com. tomorrow will is headed to miami for the best pies. you won't want to miss that. first, over to ginger. >> it has been the summer of waterspouts in florida. this one this daytona beach captured from the beach did not make it to shore thankfully so out there doing nothing, which is great news. we want to share an update on
