craig h. neilsen foundation and robin is in ann arbor, michigan, at the university of oregon with more on what we're going to see in just a bit, robin, good morning. >> go, big blue. oh, my gosh, from the home of the wolverines. i'm here because the life of one incredible man is about to change and he's already changed so many lives. he's known as dr. o. he was born in nigeria, raised in indiana, went on to become a track star at stanford with a dream of a career in medicine. he suffered a spinal cord injury. he did not let that stop him from pursuing his dreams or helping others. here at the university of michigan, he's made it his mission he's made it his mission to build the adaptive sports and fitness program to inspire other athletes in wheelchairs to find their joy again. there's a million dollar surprise for him. even all the people that will be here to support him they don't

know. dr. o has no idea what's in store. one of the biggest surprises ever. we cannot wait to share it with you. he will get here any minute so i got to get to my secret hiding place. be back. >> doing double duty, "gma" in ann arbor. the latest on the war in ukraine. vladimir putin declared martial law and tightened control at home. our exclusive interview with the secretary of state is coming up after this report from ian pannell in kharkiv. good morning, ian. >> reporter: good morning. this is another extraordinary move by vladimir putin, even though his land war appears to be failing, it's clear he has no intention of stopping. this latest move effectively doubling down and pulling the entire russian nation ever closer into an all out war effort. this morning, russian martial law in effect in parts of ukraine. putin imposing the new decree on all four illegally annexed regions. tightening his control over the territories and the occupied population. it gives authorities there more power to crack down, control, even mobilize the population. president zelenskyy urging

people to leave warning -- "the occupiers will try to recruit men into their army, in effect forcing ukrainians to fight ukrainians." putin's military losing the ground battle for now as units led the 92nd brigade advance east wards. andre's lead an artillery unit on the front lines saying victory means taking back all ukrainian land from russia. >> everything. >> reporter: in russia itself putin ramping up the country's war footing granting regional authorities emergency powers. the biden administration saying putin's resorting to desperate tactics. >> vladimir putin finds himself in an incredibly difficult position. his only tool available to him is to brutalize individual citizens. >> reporter: well, given the growing likelihood russia could lose this key city there are growing fears about how he's going to respond to such a significant setback. we've heard his warnings about a potential nuclear strike. but how will america and the allies respond?

george, escalation seems almost unavoidable. >> boy, it certainly does. and now to our exclusive interview with the secretary of state antony blinken, we covered hot spots around the world beginning with putin's latest moves in ukraine. >> i think it's another sign of putin's desperation, just in the last few weeks he's tried to mobilize more forces. he's gone through with this sham annexation of ukrainian territory. now in saying that he's declaring martial law in places that he claims have people who somehow want to be part of russia, that speaks to his desperation. >> but also in parts of russia it seems like he's preparing for all out war. >> what we've seen already in the steps that putin has taken going increasingly after the civilian population in ukraine, indiscriminately bombing, targeting even power plants. bombs falling on schools, on hospitals, that's pretty close. >> how much worse will it get if

he has to retreat from kherson? >> it's hard to predict what he's going to do and where he's going to go. our purpose is simple, it's to stand with the ukrainians to make sure their country remains independent and ultimately to have the strongest possible hand at a negotiating table if is one emerges because president zelenskyy said himself at some point this is going to end through diplomacy. >> he also said he's not going to negotiate with vladimir putin, only with the next russian president. >> he's been clear that diplomacy will have to bring this to an end at some point. what we've seen thus far is no interest on the part of putin in meaningful diplomacy. >> your read, the read of so many military analysts right now, is that vladimir putin is losing this war. he's desperate. if he responds with nuclear weapon, what happens? >> we've been very clear with president putin directly and privately about the severe consequences that would follow from any, any use of a nuclear weapon. we're watching this very, very carefully. we have not seen reason at this

point to change our own nuclear posture. >> so you think he's still rational? >> look, it's hard to put yourself in someone else's mind. i think he's rational but the decisions he's making are not or maybe better put, his objectives, are not rational. >> using iranian drones. >> they have been denying russia much of the technology it needs to replace what it's using up so or to build new things, so it's having to look around the world wherever it can to find more weapons. >> let's talk about china. president xi about to embark on another term. you said the other day you're not convinced that china is going to seek reunification with taiwan on a much faster time line. what does that mean? >> for many, many years there was a basic understanding when it came to taiwan, whatever differences existed between beijing and taiwan would be resolved peacefully. what changed is this, a decision that was made in beijing some years ago that that was no longer acceptable and that the

government wanted to speed up the reunification and to do -- >> by any means necessary. >> potentially by any mean, through coercion and pressure, and potentially if necessary by force. taiwan is the major manufacturer of semiconductors. our smartphones, they all have chips in them. a lot of that's manufactured in taiwan. if that's disrupted that would have a major -- >> china is so much larger than taiwan, if they want to take it at some point they'll just do it, won't they? we're committed to doing everything we can to make sure taiwan has the ability to effectively defend itself against aggression. and we've also made clear to china our expectation is these will be resolved peacefully. >> president biden about to announce release of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve at a time when saudi arabia is not cooperating on the energy front. that's led many of the president's allies to question whether saudi arabia is actually an ally anymore. >> the step that saudi arabia and the opec plus organization took was one that was deeply

unfortunate and also deeply misguided. to the extent this causes oil prices to go up and russia's exporting oil it's helping to line putin's pockets. second we're all trying to restore economic growth. that's exactly the wrong time to engage in production cuts and to the extent they're concerned about oil prices going down, if things are going in the direction they don't like they can make a decision then but there was no reason to make the decision when they made it. >> that's not the actions of an ally, is it? >> in this instance it's not but we have a multiplicity of interests with saudi arabia. >> we spent the last 20 minutes going through all the challenges facing the united states right now and, you know, when i talk to friends and family and they wake up to the headlines every day, they say it seems that the world is more dangerous now than it's ever been. what do you say to them? >> i say, yes, it is dangerous. it is complicated. it is full of challenge. and part of it is because we know what's happening around the world in realtime in ways that

we never did before but at the same time i'm also seeing incredible opportunities. one of the first instructions i got from president biden in taking this job was to reenergize our partnerships. most of the problems that we actually have to solve that people are worried about, we have to be able to work with other countries. that's what our diplomacy is all about. later today here in philadelphia i'm going to get a chance to swear in some new american citizens, one of the parts of my job that gives me the greatest -- >> your face just lit up. >> it's the renewal of our country. my late stepfather became a citizen of the united states and used to say to me, you know, you were -- are an american citizen by a very happy accident of birth. i'm an american by choice. that's a very powerful thing and that's what carries our country forward. >> you know, those naturalization ceremonies are always so powerful. yesterday there were two dozen people sworn in from countries all over the world including china, russia, and ukraine. michael. >> all right. great job there, george.

we turn now to president biden's push to lower gas prices including releasing millions of barrels of oil from the nation's strategic reserves. >> with my announcement today, we're going to continue to stabilize markets and decrease the prices at a time when the actions of other countries have caused such volatility. >> this coming just ahead of next month's midterm elections. our chief white house correspondent cecilia vega has the latest for us. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, michael, good morning to you. yeah, president biden says this has nothing to do with politics. let me tell you every official inside the white house behind me knows how these rising gas let me show you the president announcing the administration is going to release 15 million more barrels of oil from that strategic petroleum reserve in december. this is part of the 180 million barrel release that he promised back in march. but for perspective here, americans use some 20 million barrels a day, so when you're talking about 15 million barrels, we're not talking about very much. now, president biden did say that he is prepared to release

even more in coming months if needed. that strategic petroleum reserve, it's meant to be tapped in emergencies. it's right now at its lowest level in nearly 40 years, but there are more than 400 million barrels right now. the president is saying that's more than enough in the event of a possible emergency. but he's also promising to rebuy oil at a cheaper cost hoping to stabilize markets and get oil companies to increase production. now, we've been talking about these gas prices. they've been declining in recent weeks, but drivers right now are paying about $3.84 a gallon. that's up from nearly $0.50 about a year ago, but the president's approval rating very closely tied to those gas prices. >> cecilia vega at the white house, thank you for that. a troubling rise of children being hospitalized with respiratory illness across the country. one hospital in connecticut is so overwhelmed with pediatric patients it's considering setting up a field hospital. erielle reshef is there at connecticut children's in

hartford with more on all of this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, amy. right here at connecticut children's, they are simply out of beds. they could soon set up a field hospital right here on the front lawn where i'm standing, and it's not just here in connecticut. dozens of states across the country are grappling with this alarming surge. this morning, children's hospitals across the country crushed by a surge of respiratory illnesses. some so overwhelmed they're treating their young patients in the hallways and setting up tents outside. >> doctor, how dire is the situation? how overwhelmed is your hospital? >> we're seeing high volume of patient asks very high acuity, a surprising number of kids who are sick and requiring admission. >> reporter: inside connecticut children's exclusive footage showing the emergency room over capacity. more than a dozen children are waiting for beds. here hospital officials are considering asking the national guard and fema to send in resources. >> we're thinking of other

alternatives as well as adding space such as a mobile hospital out here on the front lawn. >> reporter: hospitals in at least 26 states sounding the alarm. doctors seeing an early wave of illnesses like rsv, the flu and other common respiratory viruses. in fort worth, texas, 4-month-old lindy green hospitalized with rsv. >> she was just really lethargic. she was sleeping pretty much nonstop. started running a pretty significant fever. >> reporter: 4-month-old lucas has recovered from rsv after his parents brought him to an indianapolis hospital when they is saw that he was having trouble and breathing fast. >> every day he was getting worse, not better. >> reporter: the surge due in part to the relaxing of covid restrictions when kids were masked, socially distanced and not exposed to these illnesses. now experts warning the current situation comes with a potentially tough flu season still ahead. >> are you worried that this problem could get a lot worse? >> it's definitely not going to

get better for a while. >> reporter: and doctors here tell us that they are committed to treating these children no matter what the circumstances are, whether it's in the hallway or right out here in a potential tent and as for what parents should look out for, the alarming signs, fast or labored breathing and extremely high fever. michael. >> all right, erielle, thank you so much. we turn to breaking news out of london. the newly appointed prime minister liz truss has announced her resignation, after being warned she had hours to try and save her job. our foreign correspondent james longman is tracking the very latest. >> reporter: liz truss has now resigned as british prime minister. she came outside of 10 downing street to give a short statement saying that she recognizes she can no longer deliver the mandate on which she was elected. she has now informed the king, and there will be a leadership election in the conservative party to choose a new leader. that will take a week, and she says she will remain in office until her successor is chosen. but all this began with the announcement of that budget,

which planned to cut taxes for some of the wealthiest in this country, but the markets crashed as a result. britain, the united states, and the world are dealing with rocket inflation and cutting tax at that point. it was widely seen was not a good idea to bring that under control, so the pound crashed, mortgage rates spiralled, and since then liz truss has been under pressure. who will replace her? boris johnson possibly only just kicked out of downing street, he might even be in the running to come back. we'll have to wait and see. amy. >> all right, james longman, thank you for that. we're going to turn now to the major league baseball playoffs with four teams vying far spot in the world series and a battle between two brothers on the diamond. will reeve is following it all for us. >> reporter: for the third time in six seasons, it's yankees astros with a spot for the world series on the line. this morning yankee fans finding a small measure of solace in the idea that it is a series, not

just one game because game one last night was basically all astros. houston winning 4-2 thanks to stellar pitching from future hall of famer justin verlander and a bunch of home runs. baseball is very special because every day you might see something that's never happened before. and in game two of the nlcs between the phillies and the padres that distinction belonged to the nola brothers, phillies pitcher, aaron, padres catcher austin. thanksgiving could be awkward. austin got a hit off of aaron, started a padres rally. they come back to win. series is tied game three tomorrow, game two of the yankees astros tonight. guys. >> thank you, will. a lot more coming up here on "gma" including the urgent search for a princeton university student who vanished last week. let's get straight to your local weather in just 30 seconds.

now it's been nearly a week since anyone has seen here here in princeton or anywhere else. this morning the search for missing princeton university student, misrach ewunetie is intensifying. every second, every minute matters. >> reporter: the ivy league university saying wednesday they increased law enforcement presence on and around campus using a helicopter, drones and a watercraft to aid in the search. according to misrach's family she spent thursday night volunteering at an echblt, a social eating club. she checked into the dorm around 3:00 a.m. on friday. one of her suite mates said she saw her brushing her teeth and go to her room but when misrach's roommate got to her room at 4:30 a.m. she wasn't there. she was supposed to have an interview off campus regarding her u.s. citizenship application that weekend. but her family became alarmed when they heard she was a no show.

monroe county sheriff's office, five employees of the lil blessings child care and learning center in hamilton, mississippi, were charged and arrested: sierra mccandless, oci-anna kilburn, jennifer newman, sheyenne shelton-mills and traci hutson. hit with two misdemeanors including a simple assault against a minor. in the video day care workers use a scary halloween mask and appear to intentionally scare the young children, even chasing and grabbing a toddler at one point in the two-minute video. >> i was in complete shock of what i witnessed. whether they had a mask on or the mask off, their behavior was unacceptable. my blood pressure was raised. it broke my heart for my child. i was angry. >> speaking to abc news overnight katelyn johnson said her 2-year-old son is still showing signs of trauma and

arrested will go before a judge today for their initial appearance and have a bond set. the grand jury meets next year and will decide whether there is enough evidence to indict them on felony charges. guys. >> well, that video speaks volumes. all right, stephanie, thank you so much for that. coming up, dolphins quarterback tua tagovailoa set to get back on the field after he suffered that terrible concussion. what he is now saying about the incident and his return. so how many vaccines have you given to people? me? about 1000. walgreens...millions. no way can i miss her big debut. with your booster, i think you'll be there. for every twirl. i got a shot so my sister won't get sick. way to go, big bro! so while we're here... ...flu shot, as well? let's do it. when you need to talk vaccinations, our pharmacists are here. ♪ ♪

we are back now here on "gma" with the latest on we are back now here on "gma" with the latest on dolphins quarterback tua tagovailoa speaking publicly for the first time since he suffered that terrible concussion as he now prepares to take the field again. t.j. is here with what he had to say. good morning. >> okay, robes, you go back and watch that sequence. from the time he took that hit and was treated on the field then carted off, it was at least seven to eight plus minutes. he now says he does not remember that chunk of time that we all saw play out. yes, tua tagovailoa, he is now cleared protocols and this was a bit of a stunning revelation from him. from the guy who just in a few days is about to be out there taking hits again. >> i'm just really excited that i can prepare and, you know, play. >> reporter: he's back. he's ready to play and we are hearing this morning for the first time from dolphins quarterback tua tagovailoa about that hit that left him with a severe concussion. >> at the time i was unconscious, so i couldn't, you

know, really tell what was going on. when i did come to and kind of realized what was going on, i was just wondering what happened? >> reporter: the 24-year-old says he doesn't remember much of that night when a cincinnati bengals defender threw him to the turf. you can see his hands and fingers seize up widely known as fencing, a sign of neurological trauma. >> i remember the entire night up to the point where i got tackled, but after i got tackled, i don't remember much from there getting carted off, i don't remember that. >> reporter: just days before, the third year quarterback seemed to suffer what many thought was a head injury. tagovailoa seen stumbling after taking a hit against the buffalo bills, the nfl faced immediate tagovailoa into concussion protocol sooner. the nfl and players association quickly launched an investigation determining that tagovailoa's tumble on the field was not neurologically caused. the nflpa ultimately fired the

medical official that cleared him saying several mistakes were made. just this month the nfl and players association adjusted the concussion protocols to improve the health and safety of players. swapping out their check the box process for a standardized approach to concussion evaluation where competitive decisions never usurp quality care. >> we've already seen more players in the last couple of weeks removed from games than maybe we would have prior to the language change, so i do think that the process is designed to be conservative and err on the side of the safety of te player. >> all right, guy, yes, tagovailoa is expected to start for the dolphins on sunday. this did result, all this with tua resulted in a policy change from the nfl which is supposed to close that loophole about gross motor instability. so now if they just see you wobble, we don't need to give you a test, just the eye test,

morning's major million dollar surprise. >> yes, and robin is in ann arbor at the university of michigan with all the details. she's incognito right now because this amazing guy who is about to be surprised has no idea she's there. i don't know why i'm whispering, robin, but i know you've been quiet all morning as well. >> you know, i'm surprised you even recognize me, amy. i drew the line, though, on the fake mustache the producers wanted me to put on. inc i said that's it, no. not doing that. i'm undercover because we're about to surprise a manage that's over my shoulder, dr. o, he is working with some adaptive athletes after suffering a spinal cord injury of his own nearly ten years ago, the former stanford track star decided to make his mess his message, use his passion for sports to help others defy the odds. i have been impressed with dr. o for awhile now. some may remember him from my series thriver thursday. back in 2019. and this morning he thinks that he's here to talk about with the local news about his work, but

he's about to get a life changing $1 million from the craig h. nielsen foundation, which is committed to a world where individuals with spinal cord injuries live as active participants in their community. you do not want to miss it. it's coming up, i promise, it's coming up, george. >> we cannot wait for that. i'm not sure robin's disguise will fool many. >> i agree. >> looking forward to that. we are going to start with the news right now. starting with president biden's push to lower gas prices announcing several measures including releasing millions of barrels of oil from the nation's strategic reserves ahead of next month's midterm elections. we want to go back to cecilia vega. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning, again. the real question whether this move does much for voters come the midterms now in just under three weeks. let me tell you what they're doing here. the president says that the administration will release 15 million more barrels from the strategic petroleum reserve. that's going to happen in december. this is part of that 180 million barrel release he promised back in march.

for perspective. americans use 20 million barrels a day. when we talk about that 15 million barrel release, we're not talking about very much there. but president biden says he is preparing to release even more in coming months if they need to. now, that strategic petroleum reserve is meant to be tapped into for emergencies. it's at its lowest level in nearly 40 years. there are some 400 million barrels still in the reserve right now. the president says that is more than enough for an emergency. but you guys, we've been talking about gas prices for so long, they have been declining in recent weeks but drivers are still paying about $3.84 a gallon. that's up nearly 50 cents from a year ago but, michael, the president said this move has nothing to do with politics, but we have seen the approval ratings for him tied to these rising gas prices, so they're definitely watching that here at the white house. >> thank you for that. now to a drug meant to prevent preterm birth that could be pulled from the market. the possible move follows an fda panel's recommendation. stephanie ramos is back with more about this decision. good morning, again, stephanie. >> reporter: good morning, after

reviewing years of data the fda concluded that the preterm birth drug that's been on the market for 11 years called makena is not effective. an fda advisory committee recommended withdrawing the drug from the market after the fast-tracked drug failed to prevent preterm birth. there have been appeals to keep the drug as it's the only drug approved to prevent preterm birth which is when a child is born before the 37th week of pregnancy. now, the risk of preterm birth is much higher for black women. a point that the drug's manufacturer had pressed in a lengthy effort to make its case to the fda. now, if the agency follows the panel's recommendation and orders the drug off the market, patients who had a preterm birth would have no approved method to prevent another. amy. >> all right, stephanie ramos, thank you for that. coming up next her on "gma" in our morning menu, meghan markle sharing her memories of queen elizabeth for the first time since her funeral. what she learned from the late

>> reporter: the pair of them on the royal train together to open a bridge in the north of england saying it was a special time. i feel fortunate and i continue to be proud to have had such a nice warmth with the matriarch of the family. >> meghan was invited less than a month after she married into the royal family to carry out an engagement with just her and the queen. it was a real public show of support from the queen, a real welcome to the family and a show of support for her work moving forward. >> reporter: the dutch ez esz also paying tribute to the queen's legacy adding, certainly in terms of female leadership she's the most shining example of what that looks like. i feel deep gratitude to have been able to spend time with her and get to know her. it's been a complicated time but my husband, ever the optimist said now she's reunited with her husband. >> meghan and harry have significant disagreements with family members and the institution of the royal family but they're keen to emphasize they had a warm relationship with the queen on a personal level and also professionally that they really wanted to praise her work. they really admired her. >> reporter: now, meghan also

suggested that the changes to their much anticipated netflix documentary mean that it's not how she would have told it but that she still trusts it'll work out okay. guys. >> all right, james longman there for us in london. we turn to our series, "scam u." a warning about job application scams tricking people looking for work with fake listings and then asking for personal information. steve osunsami has those details and more importantly how to protect yourself. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, amy. this is a new version of what they call a job scam and the criminals are getting away with this because there are a lot more people who are looking for and finding work online where they never meet the hiring manager in person. >> ask it took me a month to post that because it was really humbling and really embarrassing. >> reporter: 22-year-old callie heim from west palm beach, florida, sharing this morning how she says she was fooled by a person pretending to be a hiring manager and when she posted her

story on tiktok she saw more than a million views online. >> and they said they liked my resume and my application and they wanted to move the process along. >> reporter: she says the job she was looking at was very real, a position at a california tech company and applied using the website linkedin but the people who posted that particular job listing and who were emailing her back were suspected thieves who did not represent either the firm or the professional website. she says they told her that the first interview would be by text and that she needed to download a special messaging app to her phone. >> at the time i didn't realize it was a red flag but like looking back, yes, it was a red flag. >> reporter: days later she said someone called to offer her the job but told her she would need to buy her own computer. >> they kept talking about this computer. they were like, so you're going to be reimbursed for buying the computer through our portal. >> reporter: she says they sent her this fake check for $2500 to cover the costs and asked all kinds of personal information.

>> so i gave them my bank account information, so my routing number, my account number, my checking account, like i checked out and gave them the front and back of my driver's license. >> reporter: but says thanks to her boyfriend's advice she didn't buy the computer, didn't cash the check and closed her bank accounts before the suspected scammers could get to her money. >> i didn't lose any money, but it doesn't make it any less awful. like i still felt so awful and emotionally like taken advantage of. >> reporter: the federal government is now warning that you should never pay for the promise of a job and this morning, linkedin is warning its users saying if they feel rushed by a hiring manager to beware and to look twice at posted salaries that seem too big for the work. >> never give any personal or financial information to a potential employer. they should not be asking you for your credit card, a check, your social security number.

that is a huge red flag. >> reporter: for someone who's desperately looking for work this isn't just a financial scam. it's an emotional one where the pride and relief in finding a job is destroyed. one thing that happened here that the government says you should try to practice if you're looking for a job and the offer is too good to be true, to discuss it with someone who you trust, who might be able to tell you, amy, what you don't want to hear. >> right. that it is, indeed, too good to be true. steve osunsami, thank you. really important for everyone to be awaref. we appreciate it. we're going to head now to ginger. >> yes, hey, so we are all for freezing and seeing record lows drop this morning. totally different story in the pacific northwest. and that comes along with the worst air quality in the world in many places so they've been not just that but smoky, hot and then the fog settled in. this is in oregon on i-5 just north of eugene. they ended up seeing 60 cars in

we are going to begin with one of britain's most beloved actors, dame judi dench going head-to-head against one of the most popular shows on netflix, saying that "the crown" should add a disclaimer, making viewers known it's not autobiographical and actually just a fictionalized drama. dench penning an open letter to "the times" writing the series seems willing to blur the lines between historical accuracy and crude sensationalism. it comes days after former prime minister john major denied an apparent story line in the new season that it ever happened depicting prince charles approaching the former pm hoping to get him on board to remove his mother from the throne. major calling the scene a barrel load of malicious nonsense. netflix has refused all requests to add a disclaimer saying we have every confidence our members understand it's a work of fiction that's broadly based on historical events. well, you can be the judge, season five of "the crown" begins streaming wednesday,

november 9th. a lot of people looking forward to it and a lot to look at, i am too. hey, in music news, it's time for the countdown to midnights, that's the name of taylor swift's new album. and we are hours away from the big release. earlier this week you might remember we told you how she was sharing lines from her songs on spotify billboards here in times square and in london and now her words are popping up in her hometown of nashville, in brazil and even mexico city. one reading, just like clockwork, the dominos cascaded in a line. taylor says the songs are based on stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout her life and her boyfriend, joe allwin has been announced as one of the credited songwriters along with zoe kravitz. "midnights" released tonight at the stroke of midnight. finally, guy, drake is sharing a humbling reminder of

how hard he's worked for his success. showing this invoice on instagram if you can read that, it says he was paid just $100 to open for ice cube back in 2006. today drake is worth $250 million. moral of the story, drake tells fans, this is for anybody getting $100 a show right now, keep going. >> wow. >> pretty great. >> pretty great. and that's "pop news." >> $100. he won't even write one word for you now.

come on. your mom, your son. we got you. we got you, dr. o. >> you're all terrible. >> we got you, we got you dr. o. >> you know what, dr. o, in all sincerity, everyone here has been touched by your kindness, by your big heart, by your perseverance, and, well, we have so many surprises in store for you but you know what, we want everybody -- want these people to know, we want everybody else to know, this is your story, dr. o. >> dr. o to me is one of the most phenomenal mentors that i have ever had. >> he's hard working, family oriented. he's super dedicated to his work. >> dr. o is a really remarkable leader. he's one of the smartest people i know. >> feranimi okanlami, also known

as dr. o. has always strived for excellence. >> he wasn't just good at school, but he would get the awards for personality, and he was an all american athlete. >> reporter: born in nigeria, raised in indiana, the stanford track star set his sights on pursuing a career in medicine. >> he was getting close to achieving everything that he dreamt he would be. he had gone to medical school and got into a top orthopedic surgery residency program like he wanted to. he was living his best life. >> reporter: but in 2013 his dreams almost derailed when he suffered a spinal cord injury at a pool party. >> his cervical injury was high enough that most people who have that are not expected to ever be able to walk or stand. >> reporter: dr. o becoming a physician and continuing to defy all odds. >> him being able to have that accident and then be able to get back on his feet and keep doing

what he loves, he inspires me by not giving up. >> they would say, oh, you're a quadriplegic, you can't do that and he would say why can't we try? and so at every stage throughout his rehab, he continued to push. >> whoo. the runway. >> reporter: today dr. o is changing the narrative. to show disability doesn't mean inability. starting with prescribing an rx to play. >> dr. o was a high performance athlete but it wasn't until that he acquired a disability that he then learned about adaptive sport. he attributes access to sport as one of the key reasons that he was then able to find his new passions. >> this is something for everybody. >> when i first had a spinal cord injury it was hard for me to get back into the life that i was living and the disability took a toll on my life. >> reporter: here at the university of michigan.

>> feel okay? >> yep. >> reporter: dr. o has made it his mission to advocate for students with disabilities. it's his dream to make adaptive sports accessible for all. >> i love being able to show people that people with disabilities are able to play high-level athletics, and i love the fact that i'm able to play sports, period, and it's because he has shown me that's possible. >> reporter: dr. o fighting for equity and inclusion, on and off the court. >> to me dr. o shows an example of a person that has endured tremendous adversity, but is an amazing dynamic person and it proves to me that i can do it too. >> over the last couple of years of working with dr. o, i've really gained an appreciation that i'm working with someone that is and is going to change the world. >> dad's a 10 out of 10. i don't think you can ask a lot more. >> oh, you heard that. a 10 out of 10.

a 10 out of 10. oh, my goodness. [ cheers and applause ] so, dr. o, to hear so many people talk about the impact that you have had on their lives, just the emotions that you're feeling right now, can you share that? >> first of all, shame on all of you. [ laughter ] because they put in so much work to make this program happen, i can't take credit for this program. >> oh, wow. >> so the fact that they were able to orchestrate this somehow, i missed all of the other things they've been doing and all the other things i have asked them to do but begrudgingly but willingly got done through covid, through family deaths, through injury, through sickness, this is not a me thing, this is an us thing and so the emotion is about every single person here and those that aren't here, those at michigan, those at other

institutions, those in other countries, those on other continents with and without disabilities that have supported us to get to where we are. so the emotion is shared with everybody. i mean, i was up late talking to my mother last night not knowing if she was in this state or where she was. it's -- it is beyond words and, you to somehow sneak out here, i think you all for what you have done in covering this work, not just with us, but with a lot of other individuals with disabilities all over the country. so i thank "good morning america." i thank abc. i thank you all. >> you're welcome. [ applause ] >> so this guy right back here, eric, his car really didn't break down on the way to pick you up this morning. you do know that now so how are you able to keep it a secret? this has been in the works for months. >> it was tough but really it's a credit to the whole team here. everybody played a part in making this happen and really have to give special credit to chris and anya and a lot of other people from athletics as well and everybody played a part in making this happen today. >> how proud are you, mom?

>> i couldn't be more proud. i mean this is like every time i think we've hit a high, he throws me something else. [ laughter ] and thanks be to god. >> amen to that. okay. so we know him as dr. o. come on give us some dirt as dad. you got something, alex. come on. >> he's competitive. >> uh-huh. >> doesn't go down without a fight. >> oh. >> and he sometimes falls asleep during movies. [ laughter ] >> okay. >> a lot of the times. >> if that's the only dirt -- you're doing really well. thank you, alex. okay, i got to say, just so grateful for the work that you all are doing and we know that funds can sometimes, you know, be an issue so our good friends at the craig h. neilsen foundation, they want to try and help as best as they can so, jonathan and eddie, can we open the box and see what we have in there. $100,000.

$100,000. [ cheers and applause ] you can do a lot with that, right, dr. o? >> absolutely. >> okay. >> thank you. craig h. neilsen foundation has been supporting not just our program but individuals with spinal cord injuries from all over the place, so wherever the representatives from craig h. neilsen are, thank you so much for all you've been doing. the other question i have to ask since this has been a secret is the miller family here somewhere? >> absolutely. >> look. >> oh! >> thank you to the miller family has been instrumental in supporting this program. >> aww. thank you, miller family. thanks for all they've done. my boss robert and soon to be boss are both here as well. so the university of michigan has supported this. so this has been as michigan

said, the team, the team, the team. >> well, it's miller time, right, okay? so, okay, $100,000. that's great but you know the craig h. neilsen foundation, you know they come up big. so, eddie, i think we have one more number to put up there. $1 million. [ cheers and applause ] >> oh, my gosh! ♪ [ applause ] oh, my goodness. ♪ oh. >> come on, now, dr. o. $1 million. >> no words. i mean, there are no words. >> i want you to share your catchphrase about disabusing disability. explain to people what you mean. >> disabusing disability was a trademark that i coined a couple years ago to try to demonstrate that disability doesn't mean inability.

and it's something that just over the years of meeting this entire community and true, it's something i told people until i started to live life on the other side of the stethoscope with my spiral cord injury, i did not realize how ableist our world was, how inaccessible the world was, and how i was unintentionally complicit to this world and met all these people with disabilities that have been doing amazing things like the executive of the ann arbor center for independent living and caden baxter. the names go on and so this is trying to demonstrate just as one piece of this puzzle that disability is not inability. disability is a fabric in the world of diversity that makes us all have our unique contributions we can make and the fact that the world is not accessible is not the fault of the individual with the disability. so we need to be given access to be able to do what we can, and instead of being limited based on what we cannot, we need to be given the access to show what we

can. that's what that means. [ applause ] >> well said. well said, dr. o. thank you. thank you, thank you, thank you. ah, can we just give one big wolverine cheer? >> go, blue. >> come on, one, two, three. >> all: go, blue! >> all right. [ cheers and applause ] have a great day. big hug. that's all we got here from michigan, y'all. thank you, dr. o. thank you for letting us celebrate you and thank you to the craig h. neilsen foundation for making this happen. back to new york. >> he said he had no words. he had all kinds of inspiring words. >> i mean, an incredible job and well deserved. a million dollar donation will help a lot of people. help a lot of people. we'll be right back. ♪♪

we have breaking news. we have breaking news. the british prime minister liz truss announced she is stepping down after just 44 days in ofice. want to go to james longman in london. james. >> reporter: yeah, hi, george. just a few moments ago liz truss came out in front of 10 downing street to resign as prime minister of the united kingdom. it makes her the shortest serving prime minister in british history. she gave a very short statement. she said she recognizes she cannot deliver the mandate on which she was elected. she says she's now told the king and there's going to be a leadership election in just the next week. normally they would take many weeks but wants it to happen as soon as possible and will remain as prime minister until a

successor has been chosen. all this started with the mini budget, her tax plan to cut taxes in this country, but that, and you in the united states have been dealing with inflation. we in britain have as well. it made britain an outlier because when you cut taxes you cause inflation to go up and so every single financial organization around the world was saying to britain, don't cut taxes so quickly. it caused a market crash. the pound crashed. mortgage rates started to soar. so many people across britain are now seeing hundreds and hundreds of dollars added to their mortgages so the pressure just grew and grew on liz truss and in the end today, she had to come out to give this statement. the big issue, though, for the conservative party and for this country is that no one really knows who's going to be able to replace her. there are a number of names in the mix including i have to say boris johnson who is currently on holiday on vacation at the moment in the caribbean but certainly a very dramatic day here in the united kingdom. it will do something to settle the markets, one hopes, but

certainly politically britain is still in a bit of a mess because we need to now find another prime minister. possibly the fifth now, fifth prime minister in just six years. george. >> and, of course, boris johnson just resigned months ago. it would be extraordinary if he came back. james longman, thanks very much. to ginger. >> george, i have some pictures of snow. we were just saying, is this now? yes, this was just two inches in erie county, pennsylvania. you can see the pictures out of there and jamestown, new york, this is all behind the cold front that brought the significant chill. we're talking about the potential of 30 plus record lows broken this morning, frost advisories, freeze warnings as advisories, freeze warnings as >> looking at today's weather, sunny skies with lower temperatures than yesterday, but still warmer in the inland areas, where highs will be in the upper 80's. here's the 7-day forecast, sharp cooling is coming our way.
