but unfortunate obviously at any age. >> still so many questions in this case. we do know the first few seconds and minutes are so important. what can people do? >> i think we have to remember that if you come upon someone you want tohe compressions. if there is a defibrillator aren't -- around you obviously want to use it. the key is activating the ems system. >> are there any warning signs? something to look out for? >> you know, obviously by definition the term sudden cardiac death is sudden and can be unexpected without warning signs, but in the case of a cardiac arrest that comes from a respiratory arrest, a slow respiratory rate, if you come upon someone who's barely breathing the normal breaths per minute, 12 to 20, so if you're concerned, again call 911. >> absolutely. doc, thank you as always. >> you bet. we're going ton now

to one of our other major stories this morning. the deadly tornado outbreak across the south with dozens of twisters leaving a trail of destruction. senior national correspondent steve osunsami is in alabama with the latest. odd orrn mniin, g tong you, michael. we are live in autauga county, a rural area in alabama where several homes were destroyed and a number of people lost their lives, and as always, there are signs of life that you find in the heartache. this is a holy bible. no doubt there are prayers up tonight for the people who live in this community. this home was blown away from its foundation a hundred feet away and torn into bits behind me. the tornadoes and deadly winds that cut through the southeast have left a trail of heartache this morning. >> this was my mom house, y'all. my sister lived in it. >> reporter: at least seven people in georgia and alabama did not make it through the night. alabama governor kay ivey declared a state of emergency for six counties after at least 23 reported tornadoes

were seen in her state. >> look at that tornado. >> reporter: in selma, seen from the sky, this is what a tornado left of one neighborhood. and a few minutes later in rural autauga county, authorities confirm that the same storm damaged or destroyed 40 to 50 homes. >> i just never thought i'd be in that -- >> i know. >> -- kind of situation, but i know nobody does. >> reporter: georgia was up next where schools closed early to get kids home safely. near hartsfield-jackson international airport in atlanta, a confirmed tornado tore through a warehouse with workers inside who were praying for their lives. >> the door started to blow open because the wind was picking up and flew all the way open and i was trying to close it. the power went out then i just hear crashing. >> reporter: the storm flipped cars outside a walmart and brought flooding rains to the region. >> we have seen possibly 20 to 30 houses that have been destroyed from the tornado. >> reporter: the same storm system also left piles of ruin

in central kentucky, and in parts of tennessee, the winds were strong enough to bring down and crush any vehicle that stood in the way. >> the wind was blowing so hard today, you couldn't even hear the car alarm go off when the first car got smashed. >> reporter: power crews are lined up down the road to restore power to this area. they're going to need it. it has gotten considerably colder since the storm passed and the storm is now moving north and east. michael. >> all right, steve, thank you so much for that. we'll go to ginger with where the storm is moving through right now. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: michael, you know something is upside down when i'm out in times square on january 13th without a jacket. we're 25 degrees above average this morning in much of the northeast and we'll see a big switch to cold, and that is the landmark of creating severe weather. so, yes,did bthutat now we'll see winter storm warnings and advisories all the way down to lake-effect snow. with the windiness behind tre io

will attack the west coast, it started today in bear creek where it's already over it nk they're concerned because it's just the appetizer today, but the main meal, and it's a big one, comes in with storm number eight, atmospheric river number eight in the last couple of weeks that could produce four to seven inches of widespread rain and up to six feet of snow through next tuesday in the sierra. big one to follow and the pattern, it looks like, finally changes by thursday. >> okay, ginger, thanks. now to the fallout from the discovery of another batch of government documents from president biden's time as vice president. attorney general merrick garland has appointed to review the matter, and pierre thomas is tracking the latest. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: george, good morning. the ag has always inndtaintle ym e heinw a d cod possibly make. investigation into his boss, the

president of the united states. this morning, president biden's nthas,ndli theng sa full-scale criminal of ject o investigatbyntn io ois huswn >>he eraornary umcirc appointment of a special counsel for this matter. >> reporter: those extraordinary circumstances, a chain of events that began on november 2nd when biden's personal attorneys discovered at least ten top secret documents about a number of foreign countries at a washington think tank, the penn biden center. they contacted the national archives which quickly reached out to the justice department. attorney general garland in response directed the u.s. attorney in chicago, john lausch, a trump appointee, to pursue a preliminary investigation. while that probe was under way, another bombshell. more classified documents discovered 48 days later at biden's home, many of them in his garage. >> the fbi went to the location and secured those documents. >> reporter: asthe evidence

mounted on january 5th, lausch made a dramatic recommendation to his boss, appoint a special counsel. and this morning, yet another revelation. doj told on thursday that another classified document was found in a room adjacent to the garage at president biden's wilmington home. the new special counsel appointed to determine what took place. veteran prosecutor robert herr, formerly the u.s. attorney for the state of maryland also appoteind by former president donald trump. >> this appointment underscores for the public the department's commitment to both independence and accountability. >> reporter: president biden on defense. >> why the material? next to your corvette? what were you thinking? >> let me -- i will get a chance to speak on all this, god willing, soon, but as i said earlier this week, and by the way, my corvette is in a locked garage, okay, so it's not like it's sitting out on the street. people know i take classified documents and classified materials seriously. i also said we're cooperating fully.

>> reporter: the white house counsel's office saying the documents were inadvertently misplaced and that biden's team quickly responded to, quote, the mistake. biden's supporters were also quick to point out that the special counsel's investigation of trump's mishandling of classified documents is dramatically different. they say trump took hundreds of classified documents and fought efforts to retrieve them, and that biden's team immediately reached out to the appropriate officials once they found he also had classified documents. president biden and some of his aides now facing the potential of grand juries, subpoenas and the potential that the special counsel might want to question the president himself. george. >> okay, pierre, thanks very much. let's bring in our analyst dan abrams and mary. >> reporter: there's no question it is dominating everything here with this administration.

they know this is politically explosive for them and being very careful and cautious in how they comment on this. they are not wanting to go beyond those very carefully worded statements from the and, of course, they are very quick to point out the real differences between how biden handled these documents immediately turning them over to authorities and how president trump acted spending months resisting requests for the hundreds of classified documents stored at mar-a-lago. but there is nouestion this puts this white house in a really awkward position, having now dueling special counsels with the current and former president at the center at them knowing very well these two could very well be running against each other in the next presidential race. >> dan, the key word the white house counsel is using inadvet.enenrt. the reality is to charge just for possession of documents like this, you typically need someone who is hiding, stealing, seinllg. >> obstructing thethpotential o obstruction. buyot now, is the argument to even if it was inadvertent?d

su.re very unlikely and then, of course, remember that as we learned in the trump administration, the current policy of the department of justice is that you cannot indict a sitting president. so, you know, you have to separate outhe legal fro >> and one of the political point, mary, is that the white house knew about this a long time ago. >> reporter: yeah. they don't have a clear explanation right now, george, especially for why they didn't disclose that second batch of classified information sooner. they knew about this when they acknowledged that first batch earlier this week discovered at the president's private office here down the street. we have pressed the white house repeatedly on this. the press secretary was really hammered yesterday about this, and they just insist there was an ongoing review. of course, that review was ongoing when they acknowledged the first batch, and they insist they are doing it by the book and avoid any sense they may be trying to get ahead of the investigation or interfering with it, but it does raise real questions, and while they may have been transparent with the justice department, are they being as transparent with the american people here?

>> and, dan, walk through what the special counsel will do right now. >> so the special counsel will hire a team of lawyers, who are going to sift through exactly what they have and the first question is going to be, all right, what do we need to know? what questions do we have? and this is why mary's point is a good one is about, are there going to be subpoenas now? are they going to ask to speak to president biden, and how much does what's happening with president trump impact this? it shouldn't have any impact -- >> but merrick garland is overseeing both special counsels. >> i mean, for example, are they going to subpoena the biden team? the biden team will say, look, we're giving them everything we have. they don't need to subpoena us. do they want to subpoena them anyway just to show they're gus tools that were used in the case of donald trump. >> thank you very much. cecilia? breaking news, another american held in russia is back home. the navy veteran was released

after a nine-month detention. martha raddatz has the latest. this kind of came as a bit of a surprise. his captivity was never made public. >> reporter: exactly, cecilia. if you have never heard of story of taylor dudley before, it is no wonder, his family hoped by being discreet it might help expedite things, and this morning dudley is a free man. after nine months of detention, 35-year-old taylor dudley was at the polisrdboh n authorities arms of his mother shelly and the team who had negotiated his freedom, including former new mexico governor bill richardson. dudley now back on u.s. soil with his family. >> the look in the eyes when she saw taylor and the embrace that took place is worth it for us, for me, for our organization and pursuing these efforts. >> reporter: the michigan native and u.s. navy veteran traveled to poland to attend a music festival but then crossed into kaliningrad,

a small territory governed by russia between poland and lithuania. the news agency tass reported that dudley was charged with illegally crossing the border, but the case was dismissed without sentence. the richardson center saying despite the current situation between our countries, the russian authorities did the right thing by releasing taylor. the team traveled to russia multiple times to seek dudley's release at the same time working to successfully free trevor reed and brittney griner who were both part of prisoner exchanges. no such exchange was required for taylor dudley's release. but the detainee who has been in rssia the longest, paul whelan, remains behind bars after four years in russian custody, but the biden administration says they will keep working for his release, guys. >> thanks, martha. >> thank you. coming up, a suspect in the idaho student murders faces a judge. when he'll face a preliminary hearing is the next question as we hear from the family of one

condition that affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age. polycystic ovary syndrome, this morning, nutrition expert maya feller joins us with her suggestions about how to manage the hormonal condition with your diet. maya, always great to see you. thank you for joining us. we don't know what causes pcos but one thing we do know it can be in some ways controlled with your diet. >> absolutely. >> you walk us through some of the ways we can control it. >> definitely, so there are three buckets that i really like to think of. the first one is actually nutrition itself. not just because i'm a nutritional but because we know it works. they tend to have metabolic conditions and what they eat can actually impact those metabolic conditions, help them manage them and reduce the risk of developing diabetes, insulin resistance and high cholesterol. the other thing i love to see intentional movement, right? so exercise, we're talking about

pleasureful movement. it helps to manage those conditions. we know that when you move it helps to lower your blood pressure. we know when you move it helps to lower your blood sugars, so those two i love and last but certainly not least is rest. >> yes. >> rest is a biological need. we know that when you're sleeping at night your body actually has the opportunity to rejuvenate and then in the morning you're better able to really manage what you're putting into your mouth. when you're moving and then also make choices that support your desired outcomes. >> many people with pcos, they suffer from carb addiction. they need to be carb aware. >> what i love to say and we'll go over here, we want to improve our carbohydrate literacy. i like to remind people when we're looking at things like the healthy eating index score, the majority of people in this country don't eat sufficient amounts of fiber. so here on the front i want to show you this. i love this.

this is dark bread. this is a complex carbohydrate. that goes into your body and your blood sugars don't get such a rapid spike. on the other side looking at simple carbohydrates. with those i like to remind people you may have to pair it with a plant-based fat or protein, right? that will slow that absorption of sugar into your bloodstream so you want to be literate about your carbs so you have an understanding of when they're coming in and what it's actually doing to your body. >> and beyond the fiber and carbs it's about getting the vitamins you need. >> 100%. michael, i am a huge eat your vitamins person so we're going to go right on over. >> we have to be quick with this one. >> look at this gorgeous plate. b vitamins, herbs and spices. there's super compelling research with cinnamon. season your vegetables, lean into the flavor and expand your palate. be sure to include that fiber. >> thank you always for the great advice. now we go to you, cecilia. we're on to our try before you buy series and this morning

we're taking a look at laser hair removal. our friend becky worley tried out some. did it hurt? >> it zaps a little bit. but you know, i'd do anything for our viewers to educate them, helping them save time, money. but to find a lot more about laser hair removal devices for home, i needed a team of women willing to zap, zip, openly discuss the touchy topic of hair removal. in other words, i recruited my mom squad to help me look into laser hair removal. shave, wax, whoa. what if you could remove hair permanently? at home? that's what at home laser hair rye novel devices like these aim to do and according to "good housekeeping" -- >> they range from eight to 12 weeks of continuous use then use

it as you need them for touch-ups but you will see hair reduction. >> talking about devices that shoot intense pulses of light at your skin. that's a little intimidating. so to try them out i recruited my mom squad. and the conversation got real fast. >> i did the legs and i thought to myself this would be great to do on a zoom call. >> much less painful than waxing for sure but you didn't get the immediate results. >> my husband was impressed. [ laughter ] >> i did some other parts that were a little bit more painful. the chin was not bad. >> once i learned to get the automatic zap, zap going it was faster. >> reporter: we chose them in different categories. guess pick smoothskin and silk'n, braun and kenzzi and best value was the nood. what were the first zaps like. >> like a rubber band snapping you. >> i jumped the first time i did it. >> reporter: they target the

dark pigment in hair pulsing heat to damages the follicle so it can't grow back. the hair has to be dark and the devices can't safely be used by people with certain skin tones. >> mine came with a like skin tone matching to like figure out my skin is on the very darkest of their tones and they said if you are not on this, then you shouldn't probably use it. >> reporter: "good housekeeping" says that most devices have built-in sensors for determining what will work. >> we like the devices that have an automatic skin color sensor, basically we'll be able to look at the skin and determine the amount of light intensity that needs to be applied based on ki. >> reporter: as for results we used the devices for just eight weeks but most manufacturers do recommend 8 to 12 weeks. i saw thinner air especially in

my armpits. how many actually saw a result? i did. >> a little bit. >> it was not as thick. >> i didn't see much results. i mean i have particularly thick coarse hair so maybe i needed to do it more. >> reporter: for sara with lighter hair. >> i didn't sense much result but i think over time i would. i think i wasn't as consistent as i would need to be. >> the consistency will drive the result. >> there are reasons this is so easy, it's like in the convenience of your home when you want to do it. >> make sure you look for a device that's fda cleared and you want to start small with a small patch of skin. this is not for everybody. both from a who says they need to shave at all perspective, cecilia, and it's not equitable. the physics of these mean they do not work on all skin tones so, you know, take it or leave it but it worked for me. >> can i just say thank you to your girlfriend squad for putting it out there, ladies. you owe them lunch. >> i do. >> scan the qr code on your screen and head over to goodmorningamerica.com to shop all of these picks. guys, i'll throw it to you. and lara for "pop news."

pop singer did this horrible thing, you know, and it's like exactly what the story was, or like ellen lost her career when she came out as something that r gus, at the time. >> so in that way there has been positive change but the demystification is positive and negative. kids have access to so much. >> way too much. right? >> way too much. way too easy. >> no pun intended. it's so true and really, let's talk about the differences in tv if you're of a certain age, zach, you won't remember but lucy and ricky slept in separate beds. >> yeah. >> yes, let's go. so lucy and ricky, separate beds.

because they've just been exposed to so much so early that they're like now i'm just ready for normalcy, i'm like 22. >> what does sex have to do with marriage? somebody tell me. >> well, that's your next doc. well, listen, we've been all talking about it. it's a really smart idea and you guys can check it out. see new episodes of "sex before the internet." the name alone. tuesdays, vice tv, everybody. >> thank you, guy. >> really nice to meet you and thanks for bringing your energy. grammy nominated rapper myke towers next.
