7:03 am
morning in fort myers. good morning to you, rob. >> reporter: a lot of questions for ys five days aer t there'r in mef ese neigor this parti whammy of wind damage and floodwaters that refuses to drain even with dry weather. so many areas look like this, ss with people that are still being pulled out of the most decimated areas. this morning, the you are rent search for survivors still under way following the catastrophic aftermath of hurricane ian. the death toll rising to 83 nationwide. in florida, already more than 1,600 people rescued from inundated parts of the sunshine state as more than 6,000 customers are still without power. the lack of cell service and electricity in some areas posing challenges for search and rescue efforts. one of those areas, pine island, cut off from the mainland after
7:04 am
the causeway bridge was severed by the storm. >> where do y'all think we're needed the most? >> reporter: here we met a group of trauma nurses and retired military helping and providing relief for those on the barrier island. >> it's a calling. it's not a job, so whenever a need arises, you need to be there for your people. >> team 6, come in, team 6. >> reporter: pine island resident john conforti recalling the harrowing moments coming face-to-face with a ten-foot wall of water. >> water kept pounding the house. we watched boats, houses. we watched everything go flying by. we lost so much at this point. so we appreciate you guys being here. >> reporter: this is most southern tip of pine island which got the worst of ian's surge and wind, many people decided to stay and ride out the storm, most of them want to stay now, but many for good reason have agreed to leave. >> i got some water for you. >> reporter: one resident in need of water now trying to leave the island. the evacuation orders came pretty quickly before the storm because it changed tracks.
7:05 am
>> right. so nobody really had a chance to get all their stuff together and go anywhere. >> reporter: those orders now mounting questions as to whether evacuation mandates came soon enough. in lee county where the death toll is at least 42, officials saying they did everything they could. >> i stand 100% with my county commissioners, my county manager, we did what we had to do at the exact same time. i wouldn't have changed everything. i know being in those meeting this storm was very unpredictable. >> reporter: the sun coming up over the storm zone. easy forecast. more in the way of sunshine but the forecast for ian's track last week was certainly challenging and stressed the uncertainty of where and when ian would make landfall, and they did that every day, you know, they've gotten so good over the years to make these forecast accurate. it made it a challenge for everybody top to bottom in florida. still is.
7:06 am
robin. >> all right, rob, thank you. as you fully know the damage from ian is just jaw dropping as some effects of the storm are being felt across the northeast this morning. our chief meteorologist ginger is back. you have more on that. good morning, ginger. >> good morning. 30 hours or 3 days, if you get that evacuation notice, it's critical to take it seriously. i kept repeating how 12 feet of water can move homes, can move cars and that's, unfortunately, what happened. you see the before and after, this is pine island, this is about 14 miles northwest where we rode out the eye wall of the storm. you see all the docks there, gone. now we take you to sanibel. these are the shlimer cottages. a lot of people vacation there, you might even recognize the name, the structures here, gone, the one close to beach, gone, anything that's not made of solid concrete with steel into the ground could usually be taken by that type of water. this here, the ocean's reach in sanibel. unfortunately, we do deal with some of the remnants of ian kind of hung out in the
7:07 am
midlevels and mixed up with another storm, and anyone from coastal new jersey down to mid-atlantic needs to watch for coastal flooding, wind and heavy rains. >> ginger, thank you. we'll go overseas now to the latest on the war in ukraine where ukrainian forces have taken back a key city claimed by russia. and putin is raising new nuclear threats in the face of military setbacks and opposition inside russia. chief foreign correspondent ian pannell is on the scene in ukraine.yeah good mornin this is the road to lyman where the ukrainians have pulled off another stunning victory, remember this is one of the regions declared part of russia by putin on friday and yet one day later he was already losing territory as his war plans start to look in serious trouble. this morning, ukrainian troops on the march, reclaiming key areas from russia in the south and east liberating this
7:08 am
strategic city of lyman in the donbas one day after putin declared the area annexed. soldiers raising the blue and yellow of the ukrainian flag. celebrating an important victory. lyman was a vital transportation and logistics hub for russia. a setback for kremlin's military supply line in their efforts to secure the donbas region. russia's campaign has suffered major setbacks on almost every front. putin's army is in real difficulty struggling to hold on to territory it's occupied. >> no amount of symbolic mobilization which is the only way to describe it, no amount of annexation, no amount of veiled nuclear threats can actually get him out of this particular situation. >> reporter: russia's brutal and indiscriminate tactics claiming more civilian lives. two humanitarian convoys shelled in just over a week. investigators discovering the gruesome aftermath of this attack that left 24 people dead, including 13 children. and a pregnant woman.
7:09 am
we see some of the destruction the war has brought this town. when ukrainian troops were through here in the counteroffensive, it unleashed a chain of events. putin annexing part of ukraine, even threatening to use nuclear weapons. what lies ahead is a more difficult and more dangerous period in this war. so i think the question now is, how does putin respond? we've heard the threats that he's made about defending these new territories by all available means, even making nuclear threats, but for the ukrainian soldiers here, they won't stop. and what they say is that they're going to drive every russian from every bit of their land and for now, it's the ukrainians who've got the momentum. george. >> ian pannell, thanks very much. let's bring in the top spokesperson for the national you heard him say john kirby.- ukrainian forces aren't going to stop. how do you assess their gains? >> they're quite impressive, i think, no question about that when you look at the northeast part of country, george, they're
7:10 am
pushing up against the luhansk which will most likely be their goal and that's one that putin tried to annex late last week. they're making gains in their offensive down the south and the kherson oblast and not too far from the city of kherson. they're absolutely on the move here and like you heard president biden say, we'll continue to make sure we can give them the weapons and capabilities they need to continue that kind of progress. >> i was going to ask you about that. there are new reports about those gains in kherson this morning. a key strategic city under threat? >> i don't know if i'd go so far to say that it's under threat, george, this morning. again, the progress they've made down in the south has been fairly incrementally, but positive progress. >> what do you make of this new nuclear threat that putin launched on friday, had a wild speech on friday as well, you
7:11 am
talked about severe consequences if he actually follows through with it. does that mean a nato attack on every russian conventional force inside ukraine? >> i don't think we're at a position now we can talk about that kind of an outcome, george, these kinds of threats, first of all, they're consistent with ways he's been talking the last seven months and, secondly, they're continuing to be irresponsible rhetoric coming from a nuclear power. there's no reason for him to use that kind of bluster and those kind of threats. we must take those threats seriously. we must. it would be easy if we could employee it off but we can't. these are serious threats made by a serious nuclear power, so we're watching this as best we can. what it will mean in the future we just don't know. we need to make sure as president biden said that we're ready and prepared to defend every inch of nato territory. and that mr. putin understands how seriously we take our article 5 commitments to the alliance. >> in the midst of these threats we're seeing fierce criticism of vladimir putin and his military strategy now even from inside
7:12 am
russia, calls for military commanders to be sacked. how unusual is this, how serious a threat is it to vladimir putin? >> i think it's noteworthy for sure. over the last seven months you haven't seen these kind of factions and fissures inside of russia. you're talking about elected municipal officials speaking out. obviously average russians speaking out and protesting the mobilization and now you have people in the information space in russia, usually pro-kremlin voices now criticizing their handling of the war. it's significant. how he reacts to that is an unknown. we don't know how putin is going to take this external criticism. but i think it's also important and we keep -- and sometimes we forget, that in just the last couple of weeks, two of his major countries who at least are providing tacit support, china and india, have spoken out against what he's doing in ukraine. he's losing sympathetic ears. not only in russia but outside
7:13 am
russia as well. >> john kirby, thanks as always. robin. george, now to the prisoner swap between the u.s. and venezuela, freeing seven americans in exchange for two jailed relatives of venezuela's first lady, our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz is there in washington. >> reporter: good morning, robin. those seven americans are now back in the u.s. receiving medical evaluations. five of the seven were oil executives with citgo jailed back in 2017. venezuela exchanged the americans at an airport in an undisclosed country for two men often referred to as the narco nephews who were serving an 18-year sentence for drug trafficking. they are natives of venezuela's first lady. the administration has been criticized for these prisoner swaps but president biden defends the action and, of
7:14 am
course, there's an offer on the table right now with the russians to exchange a prisoner for wnba star brittney griner and former marine paul whelan, but the russians have not yet responded favorably. george. >> martha raddatz, thanks. now to the deadly stampede at a soccer match in indonesia, at least 125 people were killed after a riot broke out in the stands. authorities now investigating why police fired tear gas into the crowd. james longman has the details. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, george. this is truly tragic, likely to become one of the world's worst stadium disasters. at least 125 people, 17 of them children, killed after crowds rushed onto field after this soccer match in indonesia. hundreds of others hurt after the home team lost their main rivals. this is an overcrowded stadium. it all started when fans started to fight in the stands and that spilled down onto the field. riot police were deployed as a result, and you can see them here firing tear gas into the crowds, panic spread, so
7:15 am
thousands surged toward the exit. they were suffocated or trampled when they tried to get out. the doors remain bent outward, holes in the wall where people tried to smash their way out. now all games have been suspended until the investigation is completed. but next year, the feve father under 20 world cup is going to be played in indonesia and the united states is going to play so big questions for international teams heading to that country. t.j. >> james, thank you so much. we turn now to a potential serial killer on the loose in northern california, five deaths since july have now been linked together by police. our zohreen shah with the latest. >> reporter: this morning, an urgent manhunt is under way in stockton, california, as the search continues for a possible serial killer or killers. >> at this time we don't know if it's a person, two or three. we just don't know. >> reporter: five men have been gunned down over the past three months starting in july, police releasing a surveillance photo of a person of interest, investigators say the killings
7:16 am
meet the fbi's definition of a serial killer. 54-year-old renzo lopez was one of the victims, a musician who sang about violence on the streets of stockton. ♪ >> reporter: his heartbroken brother says renzo was homeless but was trying to get his life back together. >> it's hard to process that this has happened, you know, i mean, me and my brother have been like twins since we were kids. >> reporter: all the victims between the ages of 21 and 54. four of the five men hispanic, investigators saying the victim or victims were all ambushed but that the killings were not gang related or robberies. stockton police are also warning people not to walk alone at night in unlit areas without cameras. and authorities now also offering $85,000 for information leading to the killer. robin. >> all right, zohreen, thank you. now to arizona cardinal star j.j. watt sharing that he had a
7:17 am
heart procedure just days before taking the field. will reeve has the details for us. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, robin. just four days before j.j. watt helped his arizona cardinals to a ten-point win over the carolina panthers yesterday, the 33-year-old found out from doctors that his heart had gone into a-fib and had to be shocked back into rhythm. he appeared frustrated that the news was going to leak before the game. he tweeted, i was just told somebody leaked some personal information about me and it's going to be reported on today. i went into a-fib on wednesday, had my heart shocked back into rhythm on thursday and i'm playing today. that's it. after the win watt was emotional about his heart and his future. >> for months we've been looking at ultrasounds of our baby boy and they're all extremely happy, but thursday we were looking at an ultrasound of my heart. it was just weird. just weird. i have a baby on the way.
7:18 am
>> reporter: the three-time defensive player of the year said his heart was beating weird on wednesday leading him to get it checked out. he was back at practice on friday. played a big part in the win yesterday, guys. >> so glad he's doing well. will, you'll be back with the other story from the nfl, the injured miami dolphins quarterback. >> we have a lot more coming up here on "gma" including the first live interview with pulitzer prize winning journalist maggie haberman and her book on trump. first back to ginger. >> very different stories from west to east here, we start with the records broken in seattle, daily record yesterday, 80, 80 today. you got frost advisories and freeze warnings that go from michigan, flint included there, through coastal new england. into the mountains so a big difference. your local weather now in 30 seconds. know what i'm

7:31 am
new term this morning with judge ketanji brown jackson for the first time taking up several big issues like affirmative action and the power that state legislatures have over federal elections. nfl hall of famer fox pregame analyst terry bradshaw has revealed he battled cancer twice in the past year. last november he was diagnosed with bladder cancer and had surgery and treatment. then in march he was diagnosed with a rare form of skin cancer. and he had surgery. he says he's cancer-free and feels great, but he's working through this whole time, never revealed it to anyone. good to hear he's okay. right now, "the new york times" reporter maggie haberman is here for her first live interview about her new book "confidence man." the making of donald trump and the breaking of america. we'll speak with her after this report from senior national correspondent terry moran. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. maggie haberman is one of those journalists donald trump just couldn't seem to quit.
7:32 am
he lamblasted her over the years but he also never stopped talking to her and her new book is a product of her access and insight. she's been dubbed trump whisperer for her access to former president, and now in her new book, maggie haberman has written a biography of donald trump, "confidence man," which dives deep into the inner workings of the trump administration and what motivated him during his four years in office. haberman has been covering donald trump for the better part of two decades as a journalist in new york city, long before his presidency and while he's frequently targeted her -- >> she's a third-rate reporter, live a terrible, dishonest reporter. she's fake. >> reporter: -- trump has also opened up to maggie. >> maggie haberman was very fair. >> reporter: at one point saying she was like my psychiatrist. and for her latest book she interviewed hundreds of sources including the former president himself and she delivers eye-popping details about the
7:33 am
trump presidency. she writes, during trump's time in the white house he once floated the idea of firing his daughter ivanka and his son-in-law jared kushner who served as white house advisers in a tweet before his then chief of staff john kelly stopped him. the book also recounts an incident that may reflect on his views of race and culture alleging trump once saw a racially diverse group of staffers during a white house reception and assumed they were waiters asking them to, quote, get some trays of hors d'oeuvres. haberman also writes that the former president once asked about his staff about bombing mexican drug labs and writes after losing the 2020 presidential election trump apparently told aides he was just not going to leave the white house and reportedly said, how can you leave when you won an election. trump also denies bringing classified documents to his florida estate when he eventuallily did leave office
7:34 am
telling haberman this summer that he hadn't taken any materials of great urgency with him in one of three interviews for this book. that comes as no surprise that donald trump is blasting this book as fake, despite those several one-on-one conversations with maggie haberman. george. >> terry moran, thanks. maggie haberman is here right now. congratulations on the book. one thing about this book, you have been covering donald trump for a long time, more than 20 years and you say the key to understanding donald trump is understanding where he came from. >> that's exactly right. and the goal of this book, george, is to paint a deeper portrait, something more complex, something that explains the world he came from and how much that informed white house and how much that informs our politics and the republican party and what that looks like going foward. >> so much to talk about in the book. i want to get to what terry said at the top. donald trump can't quit you. you probably can't count the number of times you interviewed him. we saw him attack you. we saw him praise you yet he keeps on coming back. do you know why?
7:35 am
>> well, let's see if that happens again. >> he hasn't talked to you since. >> i haven't spoken to him since i reported that he was flushing documents down the toilet earlier this year that's also in the book. i think it's his compulsion about "the new york times" which he is obsessed with and goes back to decades to his days in new york. he associates me with the reporter who's covered him the most. i also think it's about his desire to get attention, one of the things i explore in the book is just how driven he is by the need for attention, so much of what he does, including running for president, is about getting attention and i think that is it. >> not surprised he issued a string of denials since your book came out including plans to fire ivanka and jared. >> i stand by my reporting. i'm surprised -- i'm not surprised that he always gets very concerned about things related to his family, who he had working in the white house, and, therefore, they became more of a focus but
7:36 am
was talking about having them leave the white house for a very long time, so it's fine he's talking about saying this isn't true but we've reported aspects of this before. >> he denied that he took documents out of the white house, but an exchange over the letters from kim jong-un that seems to be an admission. >> it was hard to know what he was saying. it was vague and sort of the classic donald trump moment that i think we have all seen over time, he starts out with a quick denial where i asked him on a lark, did you take documents, just knowing how proud he was of things like the kim jong-un letters and he said nothing of great urgency no then he volunteers something about the kim jong-un letters, hard to know what he was saying and i said you took those with you and he kept talking and when he registered my surprise, then he said, no, those are in the archives, so it's the denial, the brag and withdrawal. >> one thing in the book, i've interviewed donald trump many times as well, and often you're dealing with word
7:37 am
clouds, more method to them than people might think. >> one thing that's striking about interviewing him, you know this, i know this, he tends to be very hard to pin down, he's all over the place yet he tends to know where certain lines are and that exchange to me was one of those moments where he started to say something and it was very hard to know in that moment exactly what that meant, it has much more consequence now since the august 8th fbi search of mar-a-lago, but he was all over the place and yet a little careful. >> something clicks in his head when he realizes a warning sign might be flashing during the interview. talk about your interview with trump at mar-a-lago after the election. one of the things you write, he seemed very lost. >> he seemed shrunken. i don't know how to describe it. he's become something at least at the club of a diminished presence, that may change if he's on the campaign trail again, first time i saw him in sales mode, he was trying to sell me on how good the presidency was, how calm he was, he was certainly attacking joe biden but not with the vitriol
7:38 am
that we have seen since. the second time i saw him a few weeks later at mar-a-lago, it was like he was going backwards. he was talking about the so-called audit of the arizona elections. he was very angry at this person and that person. entirely different demeanor. >> he sort of tripled down on that since the election, that's pretty much all he talks about when he goes out on thestump right now. >> it is integral to a 2024 candidacy at the moment and that was something in our third interview which watt was at bedminster in september of last year that he made clear he would continue to talk about. >> he's talking about running, put off the announcement right now, i'm skeptical he's actually going to follow through with that. where do you stand on that question? >> catch me on a different day. at the moment i think he's backed himself into the corner and sort of has to run, i can see a scenario where he's running or doesn't run, stays in a while and gets out. at the moment i think it was likelier than not. >> announces it and then finds a way to back out at some point.
7:39 am
maggie, thank you so much. the book is called "confidence man" and it comes out tomorrow. robin. >> thank you. coming up next the miami dolphins quarterback whose injuries are leading to an investigation. we have the latest this morning. come on back. morning. come on back. i was taking my antidepressant daily, but i would still put up a brave face to hide feeling depressed. my depression made me feel like i was stuck on autopilot. then i saw something that got me thinking. i'm still feeling depressed. what do you think about adding rexulti? it could help. when taken with an antidepressant, rexulti was proven to reduce depression symptoms an extra 62% compared to the antidepressant alone. so, you can stay on your current treatment and keep moving forward. rexulti can cause serious side effects. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. antidepressants may increase suicidal thoughts and worsen depression in those under 25. call your doctor about fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, which could be life-threatening, or uncontrollable muscle movements, which may be permanent. increased cholesterol; weight gain; high blood sugar;

to interview tagovailoa next week as part of their review. >> any of us who work in the game or anyone watching the game you want them to get it right. so i do think there's a sense of urgency. >> those expected updates to the concussion protocol most significantly focus on that gross motor instability, that stumbling or staggering that tua showed back in week three, anybody doing that will be removed from the game and won't be allowed back in regardless of the reason for that staggering. these changes could take effect as soon as this upcoming week, guys. >> all right. it was -- seeing him stagger as he did, it was very scary. it was a scary moment. >> will, thank you so much. coming up, we've seen it 702 times now, but it still never gets old and it's our play of the day.

8:13 am
strength. the latest advancements in fight against the disease. joining us are two specialists dr. abenaa brewster and dr. ami shah. i enjoyed talking with you during the commercial break, so grateful for what's going on and i want to start with you, dr. brewster, studies show during the pandemic nearly 47% of people they didn't have their breast cancer screenings and that has led to later diagnoses, so what is your message for them this morning? >> you're absolutely right, i have patients in my practice for different reasons didn't get mammograms during the pandemic and now are being treated for later stage of the disease. i can't emphasize enough the importance of women getting back in and getting their screenings. we know that early detection with a mammograms improves survival.
8:14 am
it's recommended women get started screening at age 40 and have a gmammogram once a year, and if women are at high risk of developing breast cancer so i encourage women to have that discussion with their physician, they'll review their risk factors and review their family history and they may even order genetic testing that could contribute to breast cancer risk. bottom line is, it's time to get back to regular-screening mammograms and having that discussion with your physician to determine your risk of developing breast cancer, what type of screening you should get and the timing of the screening. >> exactly, men also with breast cancer, we hear this every time we do a segment like this. okay, dr. shah, treatments, there have been advancements as well.
8:15 am
>> yes, there's a lot to be excited about. for triple negative breast cancer immunotherapy has been an important development, medication activates our system to locate cells. adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy is going to cure more patients and benefits those in a subgroup of triple negative breast cancer that have met static disease. the development of category of drugs they take chemotherapy and they connect it to antibody, it acts like as a guide through the body. hopefully sparing some of the undesired side effects and getting better responses with the tumor. >> you brought up met static, i want to talk about that in just a moment.
8:16 am
first of all, dr. brewster, we have seen that different ethnic and racial groups it affects differently. can you talk about the difference? >> absolutely. so i would say black women, particularly younger black women have 2 to threefold have a higher risk of developing triple negative breast cancer, we want to catch it early in order to give women the best chance of being cured. i recommend black women have a mammogram every year. if you feel a lump in your breast, bring attention to your physician sooner rather than later to get it checked out. we don't fully understand why black women have this higher risk of developing triple negative breast cancers, what we know when black women have equal access to early detection and some of the state of the art treatments that dr. shah mentioned they have a similar prognosis from triple negative breast cancer as white women.
8:17 am
>> i remember when i was diagnosed with triple negative, going through the chemotherapy and radiation, to think of the advancements from then to now. there are still come communities, dr. shah, that screening is not in their mindset to do. why do you think that is? >> lot of things that are barriers or misconceptions that lead people to not getting screening, one thing we hear too often i don't have a family history, my mother never had a mammogram, i live a healthy life, it won't affect me, that's not true. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in their lifetime. those even with average risk knead to get regular screening mammograms. >> and can we talk about met static breast cancer because so often it's a group that's overlooked and it, you know, not one size fits all, but met -- metastatic, it is so different from the others. >> it's true. metastatic breast cancer is when the cancer has traveled outside the breast, and it's a type of
8:18 am
breast cancer where for a majority of patients we don't have cures, but we absolutely have treatments and those treatments are advancing very quickly, as we talked about the new exciting medications in that area there's much more in the pipeline, where patients' willingness to participate in clinical trials has made important strides. studying dna in your bloodstream that could help guide us in the treatment. that research will hopefully translate into better and better outcomes as we see patients every day with all stages with metastatic breast cancer who are thriving. >> i saw a woman outside with amy in the group and she was like defiant she's like i'm going to keep fighting. >> absolutely. >> what are some other ways that can help prevent breast cancer? >> we all know that great news in prevention, over the past decade we've been using preventive therapy, estrogen-blocking pills that women take about five years that
8:19 am
could reduce their risk of developing breast cancer by half. recommended for women who are at high risk of developing breast cancer, women who have a strong family history of breast cancer. there are some side effects particularly for the pill, having a discussion with your physician and finding out whether or not you're a candidate for preventive therapy. >> dr. brewster, dr. shah, wonderful to meet you both. thank you for your tireless efforts. it's also affecting younger folks. t.j. and george are going to talk about that. >> that jumps out, right? they say recommendation for women starting at 40, but there are women in their 20s and 30s who are getting diagnosed and some are now taking to social
