strongholds, an effort to spotlight immigration two months before the midterm elections. hector miguel didn't know where he was going. >> translator: they said they were taking us somewhere where there was refuge, a lot of help. especially for the children that were traveling with us. >> reporter: but when he stepped off the bus outside of washington, d.c., yesterday, he was outside one of the city's most famous residences, the vice president's house. one of thousands of undocumented migrants bused to washington by texas republican governor greg abbott. hours before his bus arrived two private chartered jets from san antonio, made a surprise landing on the wealthy island of martha's vineyard, carrying 50 migrants including several children, sent by florida's republican governor and presidential hopeful ron desantis. local officials say they had no idea they were coming but desantis made sure cameras captured it all. >> the minute even a small fraction of what those border towns deal with every day is brought to their front door,

they all of a sudden go berserk. >> reporter: but on the ground officials say they raced to provide housing. >> the immigrants that arrived here were not met with chaos. they were met with compassion. >> reporter: for months they have been sending them to democratic states to try to make a political point. new york city receiving nearly 12,000 migrants. its mayor says the city is nearing its breaking point. >> we need help. we have not been ashamed to say that. we need help. >> reporter: the republican governors say the administration's process is broken and argue their tactic is giving the rest of the country a much-needed dose of reality. there's been a surge in border crossings, a record 1.8 million apprehensions since october. with about half of those migrants being released in the u.s. cities like el paso, texas, have hit a crisis point. abc's mireya villarreal seeing it firsthand. >> el paso is one of the border cities that's getting hit really hard right now. we just confirmed with the city that border patrol that has 1,300 encounters every day, and

a loot of those people end on the streets downtown. a lot of people are starting to drop off food and drinks here as well as clothing for migrants that are waiting to get on buses to then head north. >> reporter: we pressed the white house. do you feel the situation at the border is under control, are you doing enough? >> we are fixing a broken system. it is not like turning the light switch on. it is going to take some time. >> reporter: now, the white house says the trump administration is responsible for that broken system and they do admit there is a lot more work that can be done here, but the president says that republicans have shown no interest in actually solving the immigration problem through legislation, george. it's one of the many reasons the president is saying that the upcoming midterm elections are so critical. >> okay, thanks very much. now to new developments in the battle over the mar-a-lago documents. overnight, a federal judge naming a special master. for now denying the justice department's request to use the material in its investigations.

our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas has more. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: michael, good morning. the judge wants a third party, in this case a special master, to help determine what's classified and what's not. and what the former president may be allowed to claim as privileged. she appointed a former federal judge raymond dearie who has experience in national security matters to look at the documents and conclude his wrk by november 30th. to be blunt judge aileen cannon, a trump appointee is highly skeptical of the government, and has denied doj's request to resume use of those confiscated classified documents in their ongoing investigation for as much as two months. cannon says she's not willing to accept the government's assertions that roughly 100 documents seized from mar-a-lago are classified, even though they're labeled as such, including some designated as secret and top secret. the government has claimed that the judge's order slows and hampers their criminal investigation which has national defense implications and doj

says trump as a former president has no right to classify documents, period. doj is expected to seek emergency relief from a federal appeals court. cecilia. >> thank you very much. we turn to this tropical threat on the move, fiona churning in the atlantic taking aim at puerto rico and the caribbean. ginger tracking the latest. >> hey there, good morning. fiona is not the prettiest looking storm which means it's a little broken. however, it looks like it will stay together as a tropical storm as it crosses over the leeward islands there and it's taking a southern track. what that means for puerto rico, you still get a ton of rain and looks to like this morning nothing, right in st. thomas. rook looking really nice from the earth cam. that will change tonight. a lot of islands have been dry and could see flash flooding on top of the timing, saturday night into sunday morning, as puerto rico's time then it makes landfall, looks like, in the eastern dominican republic.

why we get concerned? a lot of these islands have really high elevations, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 feet and that can cause mudslides. on top of that the next question is, what does it do for us? we're talking about eight to ten days away here, michael. the spaghetti models, well, at this time of year we eat a lot of spaghetti, it looks like they could get sandwiched and hang out east of north carolina so many days to figure this out and be out of it. >> spaghetti model, sounds like a project from back in the day. thank you, ginger. now to the fight to free brittney griner and ex-marine paul whelan. both are behind bars in russia sentenced to years in prison and president biden is set to meet with members of their families today. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has more. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, michael. the white house says president biden is meeting with griner's wife and whelan's sister to show that getting the americans released is still a priority for the president.

griner has been in prison in russia since february. whelan was arrested at the end of 2018. in july, the biden administration made an offer to the russians to exchange a convicted russian arms dealer, viktor bout, for the two americans, but there's not been significant progress on those negotiations. meanwhile, former new mexico governor bill richardson with the families' blessings has been in moscow on an independent mission to try to free both. the state department voiced concern about that mission saying it could hinder official efforts but richardson has had successes in the past, george. >> okay, martha, thanks very much. we're going to get the latest now on the war in ukraine. they have discovered a mass grave in a town liberated as vladimir putin faces concerns from china. tom soufi burridge is on the scene if ukraine. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. russia hit the city in the early hours of this morning, just a few kilometers from here adding to the destruction. overnight, the u.s. saying it will supply more weaponry to

ukraine as we get shocking new details about mass killings under russian rule in newly liberated areas here in the northeast. this morning, shocking evidence emerging of mass killings in newly liberated areas of ukraine with the russians gone, ukrainian officials discovering a mass burial site in the city of izyum. wooden crosses, some marked only with numbers across a wide area of woodland. officials saying more than 400 people are buried here. overnight, president zelenskyy saying the international community must hold russia accountable for its crimes. saying, russia is leaving death everywhere. the discovery coming after that ukrainian offensive in the northeast, driving russian troops out of a large swath of land. putin now under pressure face-to-face with chinese president xi. putin making a stunning admission, appearing to acknowledge that china, a close ally, does not support the war in ukraine and saying china has questions and concerns.

now, russia looking desperate to replenish its troops in ukraine. this video circulating showing putin's ally at a prison appearing to recruit alleged prisoners in russia and offer pardons. confirming it's him in the footage. our team see the destruction in an area which russian troops occupied months ago. we're just on the edge of kharkiv, you can see the russians were here. the ukrainians are removing this tank and clearing up this entire area. local residents telling us they lived in fear under the russians who wrecked their village and killed their relatives and friends. the white house this morning saying it will provide more precision-guided artillery shells to ukraine, part of another package of military aid. ukrainian officials telling us that they now need longer-range missiles from the u.s., so far the biden administration resisting those calls, cecilia. >> we'll see if they give in. okay, tom, thank you. now to the latest on queen elizabeth's funeral.

this morning, king charles returning to wales for the first time since becoming king as the line to pay final respects to queen elizabeth reaches five miles long with entry now paused. amy and t.j., of course, with more on this. good morning, guys. >> reporter: good morning, and cecilia, something absolutely extraordinary is taking place in london right now. we're standing in front of westminster where the funeral is going to take place. i want to show you something. people coming to pay their respects were told they had to get in line, might be really long lines, and have this website putting up. it's been giving updates. this morning we got up and said the line was 4.8 miles, 14 hours long is wait. this is what it now says. the queue is at capacity. entry is paused not letting anybody else in line, because the response has been what it's been and they are going to, robach, stop this and not let anybody else in line for at least six hours, but it's just an extraordinary outpouring of love. >> it was a significant

difference walking to our location this morning, and the crowds have really gathered here in london, and of course, tomorrow the queen's grandchildren will hold a vigil for their grandmother and prince harry will wear his military uniform for the first time because he's no longer a working royal. he has been banned from wearing his military gear, actually, but this is a special exception to mark the occasion, and of course, as you mentioned monday will bring the queen's official state funeral. the service will begin at 11:00 a.m. here in london or 6:00 a.m. there in new york. it is going to last for about an hour, then there will be a procession leaving westminster abbey, the queen's coffin will head to windsor where she will be buried with late husband, prince philip, the duke of edinburgh in a private service and we've been saying this. this is an emotional time for everyone but specifically for the royal family and prince william said something poignant yesterday to the crowds. he said it's been very difficult and this has all been a reminder of the death of his mother, princess diana. cecilia. >> wow, guys, thank you so much, we'll be staying on this all day long and through the weekend.

we'll go to the rising mortgage rates surpassing 6%, the highest level in 14 years. andrew dymburt joins us with what it means for buyers. good morning, andrew. >> reporter: good morning, michael. guys, it just got more expensive to buy a house in the u.s. and te average rate climbing over 6% for the first time since the housing crash of 2008. freddie mac reports that the 30-year rate rose to 6.02% from 5.8% just last week and the long-term average has more than doubled from a year ago, so if you were looking to lock in a mortgage at this time last year, you were likely looking at a rate of under 3% and now it's over 6%, so what's driving the surge? in part it's a result of the federal reserve's aggressive push to tamp down inflation by hiking interest rates, now this has effectively cooled off the housing market red hot for years now and now many potential home buyers are getting pushed out of the market because higher rates can mean hundreds of dollars or more in monthly mortgage payments. while rates have been on the rise sales of existing homes in the u.s. have fallen for six straight months now, guys. >> all right, andrew, thank you for that.

overactive wake signals. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day, like walking, driving and making or eating food. worsening depression including suicidal thoughts may occur. the most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness. it's quviviq. ask your doctor if it's right for you. i'm gonna miss you. at prudential, we can't tell you when your kids will finally go out on their own. but we can at least make sure that when they do — you're ready. that's why millions rely on us for the rock-solid strength that helps you plan for and achieve your retirement dreams.

matt gutman traveled to zambia for the story. he joins us with an exclusive interview. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. our "20/20" team spent months investigating the death of bianca rudolph, and when we traveled to that remote hunting camp in zambia, we realized it was a terrible place for an accident to happen, but a perfect place for a murder to happen, and that dentist might have gotten away with it had it not been for a bartender who overheard something years later. visiting the famed hunting grounds at this national park in zambia in late september of 2016 ws a wealthy american dentist larry rudolph and his wife bianca. who had an reputation as an extra marksperson. on october 11, 2016, bianca and larry are getting ready to leave zambia when suddenly a shotgun blast rings out. >> standing near to her body, crying. what am i going to tell my children?

what am i going to tell my children? just kill myself because my wife, she has committed suicide. >> something was amiss. something was fishy to our eyes. >> reporter: but that doesn't ed the suspicion, because shortly after that, larry has cashed out nine separate life insurance policies, taken out in bianca's name, and now he's got nearly $5 million. he's also got a mistress of more than ten years, lori. in early 2020, larry and lori were at one of their favorite restaurants in phoenix and the regular bartender is at his perch behind the bar but said as the evening progressed, things became increasingly tense between larry and lori. >> they were having an argument. he was very close to her face trying to not be as loud and at that moment he just blurted out that phrase and he pointed his finger and said, you know, i killed my [ bleep ] wife for

you. >> reporter: and the reason lovelace says he was so sure of what he heard in the restaurant was that the music had just stopped when those words were blurted out. larry was arrested by federal officials in december of 2021 and charged with murder and wire fraud. inside the jury room, the 12 jurors waded through a mountain of exhibits and witness testimony, then after 13 hours of deliberation, a verdict. >> i took a minute. i said, is everybody okay with this? does everyone agree? are we 100% sure? >> it felt very tense for myself and all the jurors. none of us were looking forward to that part at all. >> when i signed the verdict sheet and gave it to the bailiff to give to the judge, the room was completely silent and nobody wanted to say anything. >> reporter: on august 1st, larry rudolph is found guilty of murdering his wife and of wire fraud for bilking insurance companies out of almost $5 million, and with that good-bye wave, the looming question, what is the fate of lori milliron?

she is also found guilty of perjury among other charges. now his children have stood by him. his attorney felt that they had a slam-dunk case, and even some of the jurors after the testimony of that bartender were leaning towards acquittal, but there was one thing that tipped the scales against rudolph and for a guilty verdict, and you're just going to have to tune in tonight to find out. guys, i'm sorry. >> george is laughing. matt, that's a tease. that's a tease. and everybody, i'll tell you. you can see more of matt's report as he teased us all. report as he teased us all. >> he gets a bonus for that. >> on "20/20" 9:00 central. >> hanging on. i thought he would give us more. all right, everybody. coming up, with food prices soaring, our exclusive with the ceo of a major supermarket chain with what inflation could mean for holiday dinners and how to stretch your grocery budget. we'll be right back. could mean for holiday dinners and how to stretch your grocery budget. we'll be right back. undreds of a points like hrv and rem sleep,

we know inflation remains high. what does that mean for food prices? >> yeah, thanks for having me, michael, and yeah, unfortunately, the news we got this morning wasn't what we hoped for, that inflation would be lessening and, of course, it's more of the same. with inflation at unprecedented high levels, which is really putting stress on consumers out there, and we're hearing that from our customers as well. just yesterday i was out in stores visiting with some customers and when the customer recognized that i worked for aldi they want to share things and talk about aldi. the first thing they start with is appreciation for how great our employees are, they're quick, they're fast, friendly, and talk about the quality products we have and their favorite products and new things they've discovered, but now more than ever like this lady yesterday with a couple of kids, the appreciation for the aldi prices and helping families meet their budgets is what's resonating and what we're really hearing a lot from our customers currently. >> what food categories are getting hit the hardest right

now? >> you know, no categories are immune from the food inflation. you know, the cost of food comes down to the commodity prices, the cost of transportation and labor, and all three of those things are being dramatically impacted by demand and supply imbalance which is causing inflation in those three areas and the result is the food inflation that you described to start the segment is at unprecedented levels and is really stressing the customers and it jus covers the whole store. i would say that the proteins are most affected and anything from an animal has been more dramatically affected but nothing within the store is immune. >> are shoppers gravitating towards certain items to cut the cost on their grocery bills? >> yeah, for sure, so private labels are growing quicker than the national brands because of the price. you don't have to sacrifice on the quality for a private label product versus a national brand. doesn't come with the expensive marketing and advertising budget and that's what aldi is all about.

our aldi exclusive brands, our private label products we are able to sell at a significant difference to the national branded products. we really lean into that and, you know, aldi is different in a lot of other ways too. you know, it's different for a purpose with the mission of running an efficient business and passing on those savings to the customer, a customer that comes to our store, the existing customer, the loyal customers is kind of old hat and routine to have their bags under our arms for our cart deposit system which saves labor in not having to staff the parking lot, but when they walk in the store they see a smaller store that's more efficient for our customers to shop and it's also more efficient for our employees to run, lower labor costs, lower energy costs, et cetera, but it's about the products and 90% of our products are aldi exclusive brands where we're better able to control the cost and quality of those products and pass the savings on to the

customer. those products are merchandised in display ready cases, the same case the supplier packs it through and goes from supplier to truck to the shelf very efficiently in having it in that display-ready case and our products we carry and our exclusive brands we're able to design our own labels and put upcs on all sides of the product and it makes a difference at the checkout lane with our very fast aldi employees on the cash registers, simple things like the upcs really make it a much quicker experience, all focused on simplicity and efficiency so we can bring low prices and high quality to customers. >> we know they appreciate that. thank you. we appreciate your time this morning. cecilia. all right, coming up, our "play of the day." stay with us. meet google pixel 6a. a smarter phone for a smarter price. powered by the google tensor chip. so your camera can see in the dark with night sight. fix your photos with magic eraser. photograph all skin tones accurately with real tone. and last up to 72 hours with extreme battery saver. ♪ ♪

to make a political point about immigration. it is all an attempt to up the pressure on the white house and democrats. it is highlighting what is a very real and very serious issue and now this morning the president is responding. he is defending his policies. he's calling the republican tactic reckless and un-american. biden saying republicans are playing politics with human beings using them as props. now, for months these governors have been sending migrants from strained border communities to liberal strongholds like washington, d.c., new york, even the wealthy island of martha's vineyard off massachusetts, and they argue this is all giving the rest of the country a taste of what they are dealing with at the border. we have seen a surge in crossings, communities along the border are stressed and overwhelmed. and caught in the middle, of course, are all these migrants and families trying to flee poverty and violence and republicans are eager to make immigration central to the upcoming midterm elections and the white house admits there is a lot more work here that can be done but the president says so far republicans have shown little interest in actually solving the problem through

legislation. george. >> mary bruce, thanks very much. michael. >> thank you, george. we turn now to the final farewell to queen elizabeth. king charles returning to wales for the first time since becoming king as a line to pay respects to the queen stretches to five miles long with entry now paused. amy and t.j. are in london with more. good morning, again, guys. >> yes, you are being told, stray, this morning, if you want to get in line to pay your respects to the queen, don't do it. they're telling people if you're not already in line, don't come here. just an extraordinary happening here and what we're showing you here and keeping an eye on this here in london, a lot of people have been watching this. they had a website where you can look, you can go on ahead of time and it will tell you how many miles that was and how long your wait is expected to be. we got up this morning and the line was three mile, four miles. this morning it said the line was about five miles and your wait was 14 hours and then that notice went up that it is being paused. you cannot get in line now. they said it will be paused for six hours, that was three hours

ago, and get this now, there's now a queue to get in the queue, so they have closed the official queue, but now people on their own are starting to line up just to get in the official line. >> yes, queue to queue, and there are so many people coming into london now because tomorrow, of course, there's several events taking place. first, the queen's grandchildren are holding a vigil for their grandmother and prince harry will wear his military uniform, the first time we've seen him because he's no longer a working royal. he's been banned from wearing his military gear so this is a special exception they're making to mark the occasion, and then monday, of course, is the big event, the queen's official state funeral. the service will begin at 11:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m. in new york. it will last about an hour and then there will be a procession leaving westminster abbey. the funeral is expected to be huge. get this, westminster abbey's typical capacity is just over 2,000. but it can be expanded to hold 8,000. 500 heads of states are now set to attend including president

biden and the first lady, and following the funeral, the queen's coffin will then head to windsor where she will be buried with her late husband of 73 years, prince philip, the duke of edinburgh, in a private service. this is an emotional time for so many people here, but for especially, of course, the royal family. prince william has told crowds here this week that this has been very difficult for him and it's a reminder of the death of his mother, princess diana. so a lot of people paying their respects with flowers and tears, but a lot of celebration, of course, of the queen's life as well, guys. michael. a lot of celebration and difficult for a lot of others. thank you, both, so much and, guys, you'll have more for us on "gma" tomorrow and sunday. we look forward to that and robin and david muir will bring us complete coverage of the queen's funeral all monday morning live from london. speaking of robin we turn now to a big night for our friend who received the first lifetime achievement award from

that's when a thief follows you out of the bank or atm and robs you. law enforcement officials warn the crime is on the rise and erielle reshef is here with the story. good morning, erielle. >> reporter: good morning to you guys. i'm sure you can relate to this. anyone who has withdrawn money from an atm or from the bank may have had that paranoid feeling. you know you're walking around or driving with cash. now authorities say they're seeing a spike in those jugging crimes and warning you not to let your guard down. this morning, authorities with an urgent warning about a sharp rise in what they're calling jugging, criminals lying in wait while unsuspecting victims get money out of an atm or bank, and then following them to another location and robbing them. in austin, texas, police say they're seeing a surge with 84 reported cases just since january and more than $500,000 in stolen property so far. authorities there asking for the public's help identifying two alleged perpetrators. one seen in these photos attacking a woman outside of her house last week. the other suspect driving the car. >> as the victim entered her

home thrown to the ground and drug across pavement trying to maintain her possessions. >> reporter: she was treated at the hospital for her injuries. three days later austin police say it happened again. a suspect demanding money from a man who had just left a bank shoving him against a wall outside an apartment complex before robbing him.pthe suspect. and last month jim says he was followed after making a large cash withdrawal from a bank while paying for gas, a suspect smashed his car window to steal cash from inside the vehicle. >> my entire month's salary gone in a split second. i'm right now speechless. i still don't even know what to say or think or do about it. these guys are dangerous. >> reporter: it's not just texas. in alabama in july, two men followed the driver of a pickup truck after he cashed his check at the bank and went to a nearby convenience store. surveillance video shows one of the suspects breaking into the window of the truck and taking the cash. those men were arrested.

and authorities say it's important to know what to look out for. be aware of your surroundings at the atm or the bank. if there's someone hanging around in the lobby or parking lot who doesn't look like they're occupied that could be a major red flag. if you do become a victim of one of these crimes nothing is more important than your life. surrender your belongings and call 911. >> erielle, thank you so much. we turn now to one pregnant woman's frightening ordeal waking up with sudden facial paralysis. deb roberts sat down with her to talk about the condition known as bell's palsy and has more on her hopes of recovery. >> reporter: you don't read about this in the books. it certainly wasn't what she expected during this treasured pregnancy. it should have been the happiest time in her life but alana's childbirth experience also delivered a sudden and frightening medical condition that leaves her unable to express the joy that she's now feeling. it was a long-awaited dream for 35-year-old alana shepherd, pregnancy and a surprise of twins. it was all smooth and happy

until weeks before her due date. >> in early june, i woke up one morning and my mouth felt weird and later that day i was having coffee and he was like, i don't know what just happened but half your face just fell. >> reporter: after some scary days, doctors had an answer, bell's palsy. a neurological condition causing temporary facial paralysis or weakness on one side of the face. had you heard of that before during pregnancy? >> never. i immediately had to like start reading about it because i had never heard of it. >> reporter: while bell's palsy is rare overall affecting less than 1% of the u.s. population, pregnant women are two to four times more at risk. what were your symptoms? >> my eye is tearing right now, a big symptom. i can't close this eye at all and had to tape it shut. i can't move my lip or scrunch my nose. nothing here moves. >> reporter: her twin boys,

casper and lyle are healthy, but while most people see some improvement within weeks her symptoms have persisted. how frustrating is it during this time of joy not to be able to smile? >> i do what i think is smiling which is kind of what i'm doing right now. it's more scary than frustrating honestly because you can't help but think is this what my face will look like forever. >> reporter: alana is hopeful she'll soon recognize her face again. until then they are reveling in parenthood, even with this new challenge. why do you feel that it's important for you to speak out about this? >> we see kind of images of perfection all the time and that's completely unrealistic to everybody's lives. i think if i had seen more images of this, it probably wouldn't have been as scary, so like normalizing all the different things that can happen to a body is really important. >> reporter: very important. at first alana says she felt a little embarrassment about this paralysis but she's a freelance writer and began talking about this and was shocked to hear from people on social media so she wants them to know that they're not alone. three months into this she says she's beginning to see a slight

improvement, and while she's far from recovered, she's hopeful that she'll regain that bright smile and full discovery, i've known her for a number of years and we do miss her bright smile, cecilia. >> we're so glad you shared her story with us. it's so important we're talking about this. dr. ashton is here. what do we know at least in theory about some of the causes of this? >> the cause is unknown so there are some theories that it might be linked to inflammation or a reactivation of a virus. remember, pregnancy is a condition where our immune system is suppressed so that may be while even though it's uncommon we do see a higher rate in pregnancy in general. >> are there certain symptoms that folks should be on the lookout for? >> listen, i think the most important take home here is this could look like a stroke because you're talking about an inflammation or paralysis of a facial nerve, but in terms of signs or symptoms, a sudden weakness on one side of the face, occasionally it could be bilateral or both sides, but

almost always it's one side. that uneven smile, trouble closing your eye or mouth. this isn't just cosmetic not to minimize that but you can have tearing issues or damage to the cornea or you can have issues swallowing food or chewing food. this is an incredibly upsetting and distressing situation. >> yeah, especially for these new moms who are the happiest moments of their life and they can't show it physically. it's really hard. are there treatments out there? >> there are, but they're spportive so no cure. you know, the common treatments that we talk about and we tend to give steroids, antiviral medications for pain over the counter tylenol or ibuprofen. most will recover. it can take a very long time and sometimes the results are permanent but the bottom line is, if you notice any of these symptoms you want to get to an emergency room and make sure it's not a stroke since that's life-threatening. >> i'm so glad we're talking about this. dr. ashton, thanks so much. >> you bet. >> michael, over to you. now to one of marvel's toughest superheroes, ginger

sitting down with captain marvel herself. brie larson talking about what's ahead for her character and her two new passion projects. ginger. >> it's been four years since i last interviewed brie larson as she was about to embark on her first appearance as captain marvel and this time, i really enjoyed catching up with the oscar winner, because she's growing into quite the producer and spreading her talents all over disney. i can't turn on my disney plus without you, you and you. >> yeah, sorry. >> reporter: brie larson is taking over. not just as the nearly indestructible superhero captain marvel, soon to be starring in "the marvels." how do you play captain marvel differently than you did the first day? >> the first one was the origin story of who she is. now it's digging into some more of the complexities that there's much more to her than that. there are parts that are not so great about her that we can see a hero as not being the person that makes every right decision all the time.

>> reporter: she's also taking on two passion projects dropping on disney plus. "remembering." >> have you ever forgotten an idea? >> reporter: a short film starring larson who takes viewers on the world through imagination. you are producing and being so creative in it. your mind is going, like where tell me where as you do this your mind is going, like where does your imagination go? >> ooh. that's an interesting question. well, i'm so lucky that i get to play pretend as my job and also the fact that i'm an actor came from me being a small child and saying it to my mom so i feel like i'm sitting here on this couch talking about these projects honoring this inner child inside me so i have a very, very vivid interior world and it's something that i've cultivated and it's very special to me. >> reporter: and the docu-series "growing up" following real-life young adults as they share their stories. did you choose that time period, 18 to 22 specifically, because it was difficult for you? >> it started from me realizing

that i had deep feelings of shame and i had this fear i was unlovable and that there were parts of myself i should never share or show. so that led to all these conversations when i was in a safe space with a person i trusted i could get into these conversations and say i feel shame about this. do you feel shame? and 100% of the time they would say, yeah. and when i -- if they felt comfortable telling me what it was, 100% of the time i was like, that's not shameful at all. >> "growing up" feels good to watch. with regards to that show brie also told me life is so interesting, so intricate, so personal and so real we really should get to know each other better. i'm glad that we are getting to know brie larson better as well.

>> you guys, so many ways for your guacamole day. >> because guacamole is a mexican tradition that goes back hundreds of years. >> you got some new twists but the base, you always got to have one thing. >> yeah, so you of course need to find your right avocados from mexico. you know how to choose them. they should be really, really dark and then you start from the same base. you each have your station. >> we're going down. show us what's in the base. >> to make your base, okay, so this is so much fun. so you start with your base, you mash the avocados that you have here with a little bit of freshly squeezed lime juice and salt, and then from here you already have choices because you can make it chunky, you can make it smooth. >> yeah. you like chunky? >> and then -- >> yes. [ speaking non-english ] >> this is a spanish speaking station.

so then we're going to make a smoky guacamole. >> how do you make it smoky. how do you make it smoky? >> to make it smoky you use your traditional ingredient, onion, garlic. jalapenos. wait, wait, first the base. >> you're putting the base in first? >> yes. >> oh, wow, mexican fail. >> go, go, go. >> but if you add the garlic and the chili and the onion that you charred or roasted. >> these are charred already. >> so you're getting a smoky, rustic, deep taste and then you mash away with a little salt. >> okay. am i -- >> yeah, yeah. like go at it. >> all right. all right. okay. >> and then the good thing about starting with your seasoning here is that all the essential oils and flavors mesh together and then you mix it with your avocado. >> all right. >> and so you have -- you have a rustic guacamole base.

>> delish. >> that has so much flavor already and then you can top it with -- >> toppings. >> you can do bacon bits. you can do -- >> really going hard. go down, go down. lara, she's coming to you. >> hey. >> i started. i have my base. >> you have your base. okay, so now. >> here's my base. doing chile. >> yeah. >> i like a little kick. >> and you know people think you can just use one chile when making guacamole. >> no, three. [ speaking non-english ] >> you're adding the jalapeno and you're adding -- >> you want it hot? >> and then you're adding chiles. >> okay, you guys wanted it hot. you wanted it hot. >> feisty and then -- >> like you. okay, so, then we mix all those. >> and then at the end you add the cherry or grape tomatoes. >> i love it.

look how pretty. >> and then you can garnish with queso fresco. you can make it 20 chiles. >> yes. >> and then, okay. >> we have two ingredients. >> mine is amazing. >> very not guacamole. pistachio and ginger. >> ginger, just for you. >> hey. >> so this is guacamole i was exploring when i visited for the new season of my show where they used a lot of nuts and honey and citrus with their avocado. it makes the avocado shine and the chiles shine so you have fresh ginger like you. >> love that. very fresh. >> then you have the dried chile which is smoky and very rustic as well, and then you the honey. and then mash away and you make that paste. >> this is table size. >> but you're going to see how the avocado shines with it. >> okay, so, we do the actual avocado. >> yeah.

>> now, i know we're going to put pistachio on top, but if you are allergic or don't like that, is there a substitute? >> you can do anything. sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds. you can do other kind of nuts or you can just skip the pistachio but this is your playing with the spice from ginger and chile so you can take your guacamole wherever you feel like. did you taste that? >> mm-hmm. >> i put a lot of the pepper, the chile in there. >> it has a lot of the avocado. so tell me what you think about -- >> it's good. >> i love it. >> i'm going to do this. i'm not going to lie, i was a little nervous when i heard pistachio and honey but it works. they're all delicious. they're all delicious. you can't go wrong. all right, guys, scan the qr code to get these recipes on goodmorningamerica.com, and the new season about "pati's mexican table" great show premieres on pbs stations nationwide. so excited for you, my friend. coming up, the stars of "the woman king," lashana lynch and thuso mbedu. they're here live. there they are. ♪

lot of that smoke is coming from the mosquito fire, which is now up over 67,000 acres, way down southwest of them. that smoke is also from all the western fires impacting sunrises and sunsets like ours in new york city, just a little of that pink haze and hue. you're going to see some of that because the smoke stays way up in the atmosphere so this is not the smoke down here causing problems, but, look, through the mid-atlantic, west virginia, virginia and even north carolina could see some of that hazy sky because of western fires. that's the big picture. drew: afternoon sunshine, 70's and 80's away from the coast. rain returning sunday. level 1 storm.
