we know half the country are waking up to a pretty cool morning. >> cool? >> cold. it is cold for october, everybody. show the snow. it shows it's cold, i guess. parts of the midwest seeing the first snow of the season. ginger will have much more coming up. first, the latest on the midterms exactly three weeks away and the stakes are high in georgia where there was a debate showdown in the governor's race. a bitter rematch getting national attention. rachel scott is on the scene in atlanta. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning, and this was a heated rematch four years in the making. republican governor brian kemp taking the debate stage against his democratic challenger stacey abrams, pitching two radically different visions for the future of georgia. georgia republican governor brian kemp facing off against the democrat he barely beat four years ago, stacey abrams. >> miss abrams is going to lie about my record because she doesn't want to talk about her own. >> the most dangerous thing facing georgia is four more years of brian kemp. >> reporter: kemp defended his record, pointing to his decision to re-open schools and

businesses during the pandemic. repeatedly tying abrams to president joe biden. >> she supports these policies that have raised taxes on hard-working americans and georgians when they promised they would not. >> reporter: and then there was this moment. a contentious clash over crime and gun policy including a bill kemp signed into law that allows georgia residents to carry a handgun without a license. >> there's a federal background check on every individual that buys a firearm in the united states of america. >> that is not true. mr. kemp, that's not true. >> i understand the point you're making. but the point is when you buy a firearm, you get a background check. none of the laws -- >> mr. kemp, if you purchase a weapon in georgia through a gun sale or private sale, you are -- >> we are going to have to move on. >> ms. abrams, i have not interrupted you tonight. >> reporter: abrams then apologizing. >> this is a very important topic to me and i apologize for my outburst.

7:07 am
within the next 12 months. economists there using 13 metrics to assess the odds with fears of a recession rising amid global inflation struggles, the fed hiking interest rates and geopolitical risks like opec's oil supply cuts and russia's war with ukraine, many of these factors weighing on the economy. even the housing market steadily rising for most of the last two years beginning to show signs of a slowdown. a separate poll of 42 economists predicting a 60% probability of a recession within the next year. there is this one area of persistent strength in our economy, and that is jobs. while a number of employers including microsoft this morning have recently announced job cuts, the labor market continues to hold up overall with more job openings than job seekers. robin? >> a bit of a silver lining. okay, rebecca, thank you. now to that blast of winter. bitter temperatures and snow in some areas are making it feel more like christmas is coming rather than halloween. alex perez is in chilly
7:08 am
indianapolis for us. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. yeah, a rude awakening here in indianapolis and many other cities waking up to feel like temperatures in the 20s. overnight, a bitter winter blast taking aim at the midwest. lake-effect snow in northern indiana had drivers on edge as they navigated the slick roads. some truckers not taking chances opting to pull over and wait out the storm. >> ooh. >> reporter: that heavy snowfall weighing down power lines. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: causing power flashes and alarming drivers. >> ooh. >> reporter: more than a foot of snow has fallen in parts of wisconsin and michigan. and now temperatures are in the 20s across much of the midwest. in ironwood the upper peninsula of michigan socked with 14 inches of snow. powerful waves lashing the shore of lake michigan as cold windy weather moves in. and adding to the misery of the
7:09 am
cold, officials believe it will likely cost you more to heat your home this winter according to the u.s. energy information administration. those with oil, about 27% more, natural gas, 28% more and electricity, about 10% more. robin? >> as you said, adding to the misery of the cold. alex, thank you. we bring in ginger now with more on where the cold weather is headed next. >> your sisters in the pass are in a freeze warning. they're about to wake up tomorrow morning with that rude awakening just like alex was saying. so that deep freeze gets all the way to gulfport, mobile. a lot of these places don't average a first freeze for another month or six weeks. so this would be super early if we get to freezing and a lot will break records. tomorrow i anticipate at least three, four dozen record lows broken. you see all the freeze warnings, the temperatures, these are actual temperatures for tomorrow morning, in the 20s or 30s through the middle of the country.
7:10 am
some of it slides east, george, but with the wind, it will feel freezing by thursday. >> oh, man, okay, thanks very much. we're going to get the latest now on the war in ukraine. more russian drone strikes hit civilian targets in the center of kyiv, president zelenskyy is pleading for more help with air defense. chief foreign correspondent ian pannell is on the scene in ukraine. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, george. another day of widespread attacks across ukraine. i think a clear pattern is now starting to emerge here. unable to win his land war putin is increasingly resorting to aerial bombardments and significantly. most of the targets he's hitting aren't military but civilian. this morning, another wave of missile and drone strikes across ukraine. in kyiv smoke rising after a power plant in the city was struck again. parts of the capital left without power or running water. in dnipro, in the east, similar scenes as the power plant was struck this morning, seen here in video circulating online. overnight, one person died after a missile strike in mykolaiv in

the south and a number of so-called kamikaze drones were intercepted over the city. this as ukraine was forced to fight back an onslaught of russian kamikaze drone attacks monday. desperately firing off air defense missiles. even the city police shooting assault weapons into drones overhead as residents ran for cover. firefighters urgently trying to rescue people in this apartment building. the attacks tragically killing at least five. kyiv's mayor telling abc's britt clennett russia is deliberately targeting civilians. >> it's genocide of ukraine population. they want to destroy our critical infrastructure. they want to kill the civilians. >> reporter: the explosive suicide drones reportedly used like this one seen here in this video circulating online can fly over a thousand miles. and in a new setback for putin a military jet crashing into a residential area in russia during training. this video circulating online
7:12 am
showing a flash. the crew ejecting shortly before the plane explodes into an apartment building killing 13 people, including three children. moments later, bystanders then seen talking to the pilot. russia claiming the plane suffered engine failure. well, president zelenskyy just tweeting that since october 10th, 30% of ukraine's power stations have been destroyed and so he's now calling on the allies for more air and missile defense systems. robin? >> all right, ian, thanks so much. now to the crisis that's rocking the new british government. prime minister liz truss in power less than six weeks is already facing calls to resign. our foreign correspondent james longman is in london with the latest. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, robin. take a look at this headline. liz truss in office but not in power. this is a government surviving from day to day. the u.s.' closest ally is now seemingly in permanent economic and political turmoil. the prime minister's tax cutting plan, which was the very idea
7:13 am
that brought her into power, caused so much economic damage that it's now been ditched almost entirely. this is an embarrassing reversal on a policy that caused the pound to crash and mortgage rates to soar and her apparent inability to face the nation is causing serious questions about her future. the new finance minister jeremy hunt is the man many think is really calling the shots now. she apologized in an interview last night, but members of her own party are now seriously consider getting rid of her. can they accept a fifth conservative minister in just six years? michael? >> definitely would be a quick turnaround. thank you so much, james. now to the manhunt under way after a quadruple murder in oklahoma. police say the owner of a salvage yard is now a person of interest and mireya villarreal has the story. >> reporter: this morning, police in oklahoma on an urgent manhunt in connection to the gruesome murder of four friends, mark and bill chastain, mike sparks and alex stevens. >> although the official cause and manner of death is still
7:14 am
pending, each victim suffered gunshot wounds. >> reporter: officers now focusing their investigation on a salvage yard and its owner, joe kennedy, who they are calling a person of interest. authorities believe there was no prior connection between him and the group of friends. >> we believe the men planned to commit some type of criminal act. that belief is based on information supplied by a witness. >> reporter: mark chastain's wife jessica was the first to file a missing persons report last monday with police. >> when he didn't show up at 7:00 in the morning, that's not like him. i knew something was wrong. >> reporter: mark and bill chastain's cousin ashley dismissing the claims that the men were heading out to do something criminal. >> whether it was right by you, me or anybody else's standards, their lives meant something. >> reporter: again, they are looking for that person of interest, joe kennedy. they were able to speak with him over the weekend but haven't heard from him since saturday.
7:15 am
they are calling him a person of interest, not a suspect just yet. they do believe he has important information about this murder. george? >> thanks very much. to washington now where congressional committee is reporting that donald trump charged the secret service exorbitant rates to stay at his hotels while he was president. contradicting previous denials from his own son. chief white house correspondent cecilia vega is tracking the story. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning to you. eric trump said the trump family business charged the government about $50 a night for the secret service to stay in its hotels. the house oversight committee as you said found that to be very far from the truth. take a look at these numbers they released showing the trump organization charged the secret service some $1,160 a night for eric trump to stay. another 1,185 for donald trump jr. to stay at that hotel. both visits there more than five times the typical government rate. the secret service paying more than $1.4 million to trump properties since he took office. now, in a statement, eric trump says that the hotel stays were
7:16 am
at the request of secret service and were either provided at cost, heavily discounted or for free. he said, the company would have been substantially better off if hospitality services were sold to full paying guests but not addressing his previous claims that the rooms would cost $50 and the committee said that $1.4 million is probably significantly higher because it didn't have a full accounting. and the chairwoman of that committee is saying that this may have resulted in a taxpayer-funded windfall for the former president's struggling family business. >> all right, thank you so much for that. now to the nba. back in action with the new season tipping off tonight. the defending champion golden state warriors begin their title defense and the only guy with a jump shot sweeter than steph curry, will reeve is here with the preview. good morning, will. >> that's kind of mean, michael. if you'd like to argue in favor of october being the best sports month on the calendar, i won't stop you. nfl and college football in full swing, the mlb postseason and
7:17 am
nhl getting going, and if that's not enough, how about we start with some basketball. steph curry and the golden state warriors begin their quest to repeat tonight. but there's legit drama after star draymond green punched jordan poole in the face during practice earlier this month. green is now back with the team after some time away and poole is fresh off a $140 million contract extension. he says his focus is hanging another championship banner. golden state facing another team battling some adversity, the l.a. lakers. lebron james and company looking to rebound after missing the playoffs last year. lebron seeking his fifth nba title in his 20th season. he's on pace to break the career scoring record this season. that game is the nightcap. first up, the philadelphia 76ers against the boston celtics. after losing in the nba finals, the celtics also lost their head

8:14 am
fixed rate mortgage which is 7% now. you're paying double on a mortgage what you were at the start of this year. that means a mortgage that would have cost you at the start of this year $1300 today it's go about $2,000, that's a big difference in your monthly cost but there are no more bidding wars. homes aren't flying off the market, so if you are looking you don't have to have that rush, that urgency that people faced earlier. >> right, and the question is going to be are real estate prices going to fall more? you reported on the recession and i saw the statistic search results for real estate market crash went up 284% in september. >> yes, george. people are worried about this. they are googling this, certainly, but here's the context that's so important. over the pandemic, home prices shot up 40%. even in the case of a recession, some of the most dire predictions for the housing market are forecasting a decline of about 20%, that means if prices do what some of those worst predictions are suggesting
8:15 am
they'll be back where they were in early 2021. so even though it feels like a crash, it is more likely back down to earth reality check. >> if you're ready to buy now what's the big thing you should consider? >> you have to think about your own situation, trying to time this when it's the biggest financial decision of your life is a big mistake. instead look at personal finances. are you willing to stay for at least five years. that's going to be able to even out if the market does fall, that will be able to weigh and live out any problems in the housing market. you don't want to be looking for a job in a new town right after you purchase. second of all, take a look at your costs. it's not just the mortgage. once you own that house, there's maintenance, there's insurance, there's taxes, and finally, take a look at some of the shorter mortgages that exist, a 15-year fixed rate mortgage is going to cost you less over time and it'll give you a better rate today if you can afford to do that. >> rebecca jarvis, thanks. robin. now to thriving in pink. breast cancer accounts for about

8:17 am
but our worries haven't gone away. bernadette knows that feeling. >> my mortality was right there in my face. >> reporter: in 2021 like janet, she was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma and she soon learned age and lifestyle are not predictors for breast cancer. >> i don't eat red meat. i was walking four miles a day. >> reporter: then, another sobering discovery. black women are 41% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women despite having similar incidence rates. >> incidence rates of breast cancer among black women coupled with the fact that black women are more likely to get biologically aggressive patterns of the disease has resulted in a widening of the mortality gap. >> reporter: dr. lisa newman has been researching genetic and systemic race disparities that compounded stack high against black women. >> we have done leaps and bounds with breast cancer research.

missouri, where the black/white disparity in breast cancer death is among the fifth highest in the country, donna is giving new meaning to purpose driven. >> treatment is hard. it's hard emotionally, it's hard physically. >> reporter: she's a volunteer with the american cancer society's road to recovery, a program pairing cancer patients in need of transportation with drivers like herself. >> if one person's part is a little lighter i've done something that makes volunteering worthwhile. >> reporter: but not all disparities are financial. >> systemic racism affects all aspects of society including public health and it unfortunately remains true that there are some pretty appalling disparities in delivery of breast cancer care. >> my first experience was not enjoyable. >> reporter: it's why the mitchell sisters are embracing the grabbing the girls campaign and taking on health together. >> it is a scary thing to go to the doctor for anything. definitely to go for screening
8:20 am
for cancer and no matter what the outcome, no matter what the news, having great support there is key to everything. >> reporter: these survivors teach us that self-advocacy is so urgent in taking care of ourselves and finding, you know, early detection so it's up to us to push our doctor, our insurance companies, anything we can do to stay vigilant and, of course, to stay up on our screenings, and i'm going in for mine right after this, robin. >> how are you feeling about that, deb? >> i'm a little nervous. i'm always a little nervous when i do these things but, you know, i'm also very hopeful. >> i know. well, we'll check in with you later. you know that. all right, deb, take care. let's check in now with ginger. ging. >> the mighty mississippi river is the driest it has ever been in records that go back to 1890 for some of the river gauges. that have reached their record lows. you don't need one to know it's dry when you see that, a

8:36 am
we are back with three men brightening the lives of other, battle mother natives ali and atman smith and andres gonzalez are the co-founders and their new book "let your light shine" is spreading their message about how yoga and meditation can have life-changing benefit for kids. ali, your program, you work and you serve thousands of kids in the baltimore area and in and
8:37 am
around the country. what's the idea behind the program? >> i think the idea behind our program is to use yoga and mindfulness, meditation and breath work to promote connection, empowerment, love and fun. a lot of people don't love themselves. you can't expect people to love anyone around them if they can't love themselves first and have to connect to themselves and the world and we use a reciprocal teaching model and show everyone to be teachers and help those suffering. whatever they need, meditation, breath work, whatever it is, we try to help them. i think the fun part, i mean our teacher always told us your students have to have fun. if you talk to our students they'll tell you they will have fun and our friends will tell us they have a good time with us. >> you want to come back and share that fun and joy. atman, what are some positive aspects you have seen from the kids' mental health. >> some of them, our kids deal
8:38 am
with trauma and trauma gets stored in the body, the physical yoga practices that we teach them helps release that trauma and makes their body a safe space and then, you know, a lot of the kids once again deal with trauma and it makes their brains say in survival mode and don't have excess to executive function or prefontal cortex but with our breath work practices and meditation, it heals trauma and gives them access to both of those. >> andres, you created something called the mindful moment room. tell us about that. >> it's the idea behind the mindful moment room is we're trying to create an oasis in the school that's alternative to suspension. instead of using punitive practices punishing the students for some trauma they face, we're giving them tools that they can use to face adversity that they face today and for the rest of their lives and the results are amazing. there's a school that we worked at in the epicenter of the freddie gray uprising running
8:39 am
that program for seven years there were zero suspensions. >> zero suspensions. it's really, really working. ali, one of your techniquess had to do with breathing. can you tell us about that? >> yeah, i mean the breath is a tool you always have with you. you need your breath. so being able to take a conscious yogic breath has huge benefits physiologically but also it helps you get from sympathetic to parasympathetic dominance. your not living in that stressed st state. there's a lot to be stressed out in the world and particularly for our students it helps them to respond instead of impulsively react to things. like when little it might start off as you might get suspended or detention but as you get older the consequences become more dire and it could save their life or someone else's life. >> any techniques you can show us right now for everybody at home? >> i mean, yeah, there's a belly breath we use all the time. most people pant and they use their chest to breathe. only the top 10%. if you get down to your belly you're accessing full lung
8:40 am
capacity, pretty much putting your hand on your belly and inhaling and expanding your belly. and in and out through the nose as far as you can, exhale and pull your belly button to your spine and push all that air out. and push all that air back out. most people, again, only breathe with the top 10% of your lungs. if you use the full lung capacity that's when you start to slow thoughts and body down and get all the benefits the breath has to offer. >> breathe in your -- >> in and out through your nose. >> i got more gap, like you. we losing our advantage. in through the nose, out through the nose. >> exactly. >> i really appreciate you coming and making such a difference, not just in baltimore, your community but seriously around the world and thank you for writing this book and sharing this book and, everybody, at home, "let your light shine," how mindfulness can empower children and rebuild communities is out today. make sure you check it out and learn to breathe. life changer. thank you guys.
8:41 am
we go to ginger. >> thank you. i love how they came with the receipts. no suspensions, that works so well. thank you, thank you. i can't wait to read the book. let's go ahead and look at the snow up along the wisconsin and michigan state line, up to 18 inches but we have pictures from oshkosh with just the dusting on top there. very different case when you go out to portland, oregon, where in 2021 you had the vibrant orange. this year it's been hot, it's been smoky and super dry so the trees are like, what is going on. we will see a pattern shift because the ridge is bringing all those reord highs. we'll get wetter and much cooler by the end of the weekend. a chec drew: partly cloudy skies. warming trend gets underway,ies. 70's and 80's this afternoon. even warmer tomorrow before we it is time now for a little fall fashion refresh. we all have looks in our closet that we might be feeling a

8:45 am
good on literally everybody. we made the length a little longer. it's ribbed. it's not so shiny which is really -- >> more about all the way -- is it maxi this year. >> it's either one or the other. it's extreme. there you go. we also added this free people cardigan. it's all about balancing that is super tight with the super slouchy right now. that's what makes it interesting and adds some depth and texture and then we gave her a moto boot. you -- >> that big heavy sole. and comfortable. >> all right. >> i am learning a lot. i don't know about you guys. thank you so much, tiffany. looking great. let's do another look. this is tora. tor a going to do our fall uniform. thank you, writers. fall uniform, the sweater and jeans combination. and, yep, the boots, yep, there it is. >> i feel like you could superimpose my face because i've been wearing this for years. >> it's so easy and what we know. >> exactly, but we want to bring out tora and show the trendier
