7:03 am
there is more snow on the way, and we're going to have the latest on that coming up. we're going to begin with the overnight riot in atlanta. it erupted outside a police training facility with explosives and molotov cocktails thrown at officers. steve osunsami is in atlanta with the latest. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, george. this is the defend the atlanta forest movement and they have events scheduled all week. they're mostly environmentalists who have been trying to save a wooded area and have argued the new training center would militarize police. police in georgia this morning say they were attacked in a violent protest at the construction site of the new atlanta public safety training center. they say protesters who just left a nearby music festival threw explosives and molotov cocktails at police officers and set equipment on fire. >> this was a very violent attack that occurred this evening, very violent attack. this wasn't about a public safety training center. this was about anarchy, and
7:04 am
in this was about the attempt to destabilize. >> reporter: authorities say there were more than 100 people and this was a coordinated attack on officers and equipment. >> during that attack on the officers, pieces of equipment and other items that were at the location for the construction of the public training safety center were damaged. >> reporter: police are seen chasing down people in the woods, using stun guns to stop the protesters. police arrested more than two dozen. atlanta's police chief says what happened was not a legitimate protest, and that many of those arrested were not from georgia. >> when you throw commercial-grade fireworks, when you throw molotov cocktails, large rocks at the officers, your only intent is to harm. the charges are going to show that tonight. >> reporter: this is the latest in a series of clashes with police in january. a demonstrator was shot to death by a police officer in one of those clashes, but i have to point out that this new police center was approved by both republicans, democrats across the city and state, white, black, and brown. michael?
7:05 am
>> all right, thank you so much for that, steve. now we're going to move onto the dangerous winter weather on the west coast. california bracing for 5 more feet of snow after people were still trapped in this storm. matt gutman has the latest for us. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, michael. everywhere you look these wall of snow -- 9 feet here and to think we're less than 60 miles outside of los angeles, so one of the issues is the amount of snow, right, almost 120 inches in seven days. the other issue is consistency, beneath this pile there's a car believe it or not. but to get to it is almost impossible. the snow is so incredibly dense, making digging out very difficult. this morning, the west pummeled with new rounds of snow and severe weather as officials in california warn it could take days longer to rescue everyone imprisoned in the snow piling up to rooftops, swallowing homes.
7:06 am
>> this place is a disaster zone. >> reporter: these two teens, riley and cole were hiking the pacific crest trail in southern california, and like almost everyone else, they underestimated a storm that would dump nearly 10 feet of snow in some areas of the region last week. >> we were climbing up it, and we were just sinking to our hips essentially, and we could make barely any progress. >> reporter: and for over two days, they huddled together for warmth certain they were going to die in those mountains before finally being rescued by helicopter. at nearby arrowhead lake, christine foster and her father had been snowed in their home for nearly two weeks. their cabin now surrounded by nine-foot walls of snow. >> we have snowplows, but it's just too thick and it's too hard, and they're just not equipped for this kind of ice. it's just too much. >> reporter: and as some run low on food, water, and gas, rescue workers and volunteers delivering emergency supplies.
7:07 am
>> this is how we have to get people out of the snow. >> reporter: and as crews work around the clock to dig the region out, officials say crews have removed more than 2,000 olympic swimming pools worth of snow from san bernardino county alone. enough to fill the superdome with snow five times. now, authorities say they are trying to make their way up back here today. they're going to evacuate and rescue anybody else who needs it. but they still it will be days before they dig everybody out. and more bad news, another system of storms is heading in this direction. robin. >> that is more bad news. all right, matt. thank you. the storm is on the move, so let's check in with ginger to find out where it is heading next. good morning. >> good morning. matt is in the southern california mountains. the good news is they will not be getting this new big push of snow. the sierras, that's where they'll get it. this atmospheric river, uc
7:08 am
berkeley has had 175 inches of snow already this season. they will surpass the snowiest season on record which was back in 2016/2017. they're going to get help to do that right here with a couple of feet. another 4 or 5 feet into the sierra, tahoe included there. some of the snow from the original storm made its way through the twin cities. they have had way over average, 33 inches, also big winter for them. there's more coming for a late week storm. also in the northeast here we've got a little touch, 1 to 3 inches, and i hate to say it, march is looking a lot more winter-like. >> you said it. we'll wait for it. thank you, ginger. and now to that midair scare. a florida-bound southwest airlines flight forced to make an emergency landing after the engine caught fire and the cabin filled with smoke. victor oquendo is at fort lauderdale airport with more. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. that southwest airlines plane was headed here to the airport in fort lauderdale. it's usually just a quick trip
7:09 am
just over an hour, but shortly after takeoff, there was a reported bird strike leading to this midair scare. this morning, a terrifying midair scare. >> evacuate. evacuate. >> evacuate. >> reporter: passengers screaming as smoke fills the cabin inside a southwest airlines plane. people on board using overhead oxygen masks that drop down. [ speaking non-english ] >> reporter: the flight was headed to ft. lauderdale from havana on sunday. southwest said it was a reported bird strike to the engine in the aircraft's nose shortly after takeoff. >> we have bird strikes all the time, but it doesn't always warrant a return. however, we always err on the side of caution and that's what this crew did. >> reporter: this plane making an emergency landing. passengers covering their paces faces as they evacuated through the emergency exits. some seen standing on the wing of the plane.
7:10 am
others rushing back inside making their way through the smoke down through the tarmac, using the inflatable slides. >> coming down. >> reporter: crews there waiting to transport them back to the terminal as firefighters hose down the plane. >> what we had was a precautionary emergency landing. that doesn't mean it's full blown, almost on the edge of disaster emergency, but it does mean we're not going to take any chances if something needs to be put on the ground. >> reporter: southwest calling the situation unusual and unsettling. they're rebooking passengers onto other flights. thankfully, robin, it doesn't appear that anyone was injured here. >> that is the good news there. victor, thank you. now to yet another train derailment in ohio. a second norfolk southern train went off the tracks. this comes just a month after the toxic disaster in east palestine. our transportation correspondent gio benitez joins us now with more. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, robin, good morning to you. this second train derailing over the weekend, and this time we have video of it happening. take a look.
7:11 am
this is dashcam video. and as you said, robin, this happening just a month after that toxic train derailment in east palestine. this new one about 200 miles away in springfield, ohio. officials say the train was not carrying hazardous materials. meanwhile, in east palestine, norfolk southern is removing 2,000 feet of railroad tracks to then remove the contaminated soil underneath. the epa has ordered the company to test the area for toxic dioxins. now many residents there, they are still frustrated and outraged because they want to be evacuated while that testing is under way. george? >> okay, gio, thanks very much. we turn to the race to the white house. a showdown brewing as donald trump promises to stay in the race even if he's indicted over the weekend, and ron desantis delivered a feisty speech at the reagan library. chief washington correspondent jon karl is tracking the race. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. in a sign of just how unusual the 2024 race is shaping up to be, the former president not
7:12 am
only said he would continue to run even if he is indicted, he said an indictment would boost his poll numbers. speaking over the weekend to the staunchly pro-trump conservative political action conference, the former president portrayed himself as a victim of politically motivated investigations and he vowed to be the voice for those out for revenge. >> in 2016, i declared i am your voice. today i add, i am your warrior. i am your justice, and for those who have been wronged and betrayed, i am your retribution. i am your retribution. >> reporter: among those who trump said have been wronged were those charged with crimes for attacking the capitol on january 6th. trump himself faces multiple state and federal criminal investigations and lawsuits, but he told reporters none of them will force him out of the race even if he is indicted. >> so you'll stay in the race? >> oh, absolutely.
7:13 am
i wouldn't even think about leaving. >> reporter: while trump dominated cpac, florida governor ron desantis spoke this weekend at the reagan library. desantis is expected to challenge trump for the republican nomination, and while he didn't mention trump by name, he took a veiled shot at the way the former president ran the white house. >> i can tell you in four years you didn't see our administration leaking like a sieve. you didn't see a lot of drama or palace intrigue. what you saw was surgical precision execution day after day after day. >> reporter: but desantis didn't say if he is running. the 2024 republican race is off to a slow start. trump's only major declared republican opponent is former south carolina governor nikki haley as others so far are waiting on the sidelines. and the field of potential republican presidential candidates just got a little bit smaller. one of trump's most prominent republican critics, former maryland governor larry hogan
7:14 am
says he will not be a candidate for president in 2024. george? >> jon karl, thanks very much. michael? all right, george. now to the nba all-star benched for at least two games. the memphis grizzlies suspended ja morant after he displayed what appeared to be a gun at a nightclub on social media. trevor ault is here with more. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. ja morant is one of the most electrifying basketball players in the world, but lately there has been one alleged incident after another that are causing concerns about his behavior, and this one he filmed and shared himself. >> headline, no ja morant. >> reporter: this morning, the memphis grizzlies without superstar ja morant. the grizzlies announcing the all-star will be sitting out at least two games as the nba conducts an investigation of what he did live on instagram, seen here showing off a gun at a nightclub hours after his team lost friday night. morant has since apologized saying in a statement, i'm going to take some time away to get help and work on learning better methods of dealing with stress
7:15 am
and my overall well-being. >> we're taking it one day at a time and we're going to support him as i said and we're going to hold him accountable to make those changes. >> reporter: that video was recorded as morant is already under scrutiny for two other alleged incidents, though, he's not facing any criminal charges and morant denies any wrongdoing. >> a suspension certainly could be in the works. i'm not saying it's mandatory, but there has to be a reckoning, and maybe it needs to come from him. >> reporter: nike says it's standing by morant saying in a statement, we appreciate ja's accountability, and that he is taking the time to get the help he needs. we support his prioritization of his well-being. and morant's own coach said yesterday ja has made difficult decisions and poor choices. now it's not clear if the nba is going to suspend him or fine him, but the team said he would be away for at least two games. it could be even more than that. guys? >> i hope he gets the help he's been asking for. trevor, thank you. we're going to turn now to a life-saving traffic stop caught on camera.
7:16 am
two south carolina police officers pulling over a woman they thought was driving under the influence. it turned out to be a medical emergency. erielle reshef is here with this story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you guys. this is not how anyone expects to find out they have a brain tumor, getting pulled over by the cops, but in this case that traffic stop saved a teacher's life. this morning, a roadside rescue caught on police dashcam video. >> i went out for a few seconds and i don't know where i'm going. >> reporter: watch as tara palmer's red suv swerves erratically bumping the curb multiple times. officers pull her over thinking she may be driving under the influence. >> and you haven't had anything to drink today? >> i did. >> what did you drink? >> two cups of tea. >> no. alcohol? >> i didn't drink alcohol. >> reporter: those officers then realizing she's suffering a medical emergency. >> i think something medical is going on with you and you really need to go to the hospital and get checked out. >> reporter: the 58-year-old
7:17 am
south carolina resident transported by ambulance to the hospital where doctors discovered a brain tumor. she was immediately rushed into an eight-hour, life-saving surgery. >> originally they were supposed to wait until monday. then they said they can't wait until monday and it needed to be done sunday morning. they did a very successful surgery. i didn't have any complications. i felt like i didn't have any surgery at all. >> reporter: the cops now credited with expediting her diagnosis and keeping her and other drivers out of harm's way. >> december 11th is my birthday, and now december 2nd is my second birthday because police officers, they give me best birthday gift i could ask for, life. >> and palmer says the doctors told her that tumor had been growing for 35 years. thankfully it was benign. she is now doing well. she's back to caring for those kids, and she says she's thankful those officers had their eyes on the road that day. they are her guardian angels. >> they certainly are. thank you, erielle, for that. coming up, shanquella robinson, the 25-year-old who

7:33 am
advised that their investigation is complete. they have identified a suspect. that suspect is currently out free in the united states of america. >> reporter: they want a diplomatic intervention for the state department to either take over the murder investigation entirely or to extradite their daughter's alleged killer to mexico. >> i just want someone to be arrested and charged. >> reporter: it was four months ago when the 25-year-old from charlotte, north carolina, was found unresponsive at a villa in cabo san lucas. less than 24 hours earlier, she and a group of friends had just landed for what was supposed to be a luxury vacation. mexican authorities have now issued an arrest warrant for a suspect who has not been identified stateside, but who they say is seen and heard in the violent video that shows robinson was attacked that is too graphic to show entirely. the people she was traveling with allegedly told the family that she died of alcohol poisoning, but the autopsy
7:34 am
obtained by abc news showed that she died from fatal trauma to her neck and spine. >> someone should have been locked up a long time ago. >> reporter: in response, the state department tells abc news they have no higher priority than safety and security of u.s. citizens overseas and they're closely monitoring the investigation. >> the u.s. doesn't typically extradite u.s. citizens. it's something they don't like to do, and with diplomatic relations with another country, they have to be careful about how they articulate that and why. >> reporter: robinson's mother says she wants authorities in both countries to remember that this young world traveler, hairstylist, and businesswoman was someone's daughter. >> she really leaves an impact on people. she loved to travel and she loved her family. she just was a good person. >> reporter: the fbi is also looking into this case. mexican authorities are calling this a femicide, a gender-based
7:35 am
killing, and they say that the person who they're looking to question was a friend of the victim's who they say was a direct aggressor. guys? >> i'm so glad we're staying on top of this story, steve. thank you. >> yeah, me too. thank you for that. now to alex murdaugh who's waking up behind bars this morning, serving consecutive life sentences for murdering his wife and son. eva pilgrim is here with the latest. and eva, you have been covering this story from the start. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. when the murder charges first came down, there was a lot of real doubt that he would ever be convicted of these charges, but this morning alex murdaugh, once a prominent lawyer from a respected family, now an inmate, a convicted murderer in the south carolina prison system. this morning, newly convicted murderer alex murdaugh waking up in a 10 by 8 cell alone, as an inmate in a south carolina prison processing center. >> mr. murdaugh, i sentence you to the state department of corrections. on each of the murder

statins, which as we know are drugs for heart health. can you tell us more about that? >> yeah, and this was published in "the new england journal of medicine," also about 14,000 people. this study was funded by the drugmaker, but it was the gold standard in study methodology. it put this drug, nexletol head to head against placebo in people who couldn't tolerate statins and the results were very positive. there was a 23% heart attack risk reduction, 19% reduction of artery unclogging procedures, and 13% lower risk of a major cardiovascular event. they didn't see a change in death, but these are important tools for people who can't take those gold standard statin cholesterol lowering medications. >> we just have a little time here, but please remind people the lifestyle changes that we

8:22 am
outdoors person. you just need to be a person who goes outdoors which i am, and which i think we all are. so i think no matter where you fall on that outdoor enthusiast spectrum, you will really like what you see there. i think it's pretty great. >> what else did you find there? >> let's start over here actually with our tiny tent. now people -- i don't have a cat, but there are people who do, and who would love to bring their cat. we have the tiny tents basecamp dome. it's adorable. it fits a really big cat. the comments were, like, my cat's 18 pounds. i didn't think it would fit, and it does. >> that looks like it's for a possum because that looks like a possum, not a cat. >> all right. well, if a cat's not for you, there's also a lot of, like, fun outdoor games that rei has that you can do with your kids, and if you are not going camping even for, like, your backyard, it's a really good thing to do. we've got this. >> let's see what you got. >> ready, michael? go long. here we go. >> oh. >> hey! >> okay. i'm going to throw it to gary.

8:44 am
crisis, and that 30 million americans will have an eating disorder in their lifetime. those numbers just shocked me and i didn't understand why we weren't talking about this more. >> and some of it comes down to ideas of body image and how women especially feel about their bodies. a lot of surveys show that women express dissatisfaction. what kind of behaviors create signs that something may be wrong here? something you have to pay attention to? >> it's so tricky because so many of these behaviors we consider normal like cutting out carbs or watching what we eat. if we notice that behaviors are getting in the way with our life, causing us stress, if we're eating kale because someone said, how many of us would continue to eat kale? >> and social media plays such a big role here. >> i mean, social media definitely doesn't help. eating disorders are so complex and a lot of the new research is pointing that they're
8:45 am
brain-based illnesses like depression for a lot of people, but that environment that social media fosters and looking one certain way definitely doesn't help. >> what do you do about that? >> well, i think that we have to do a couple of things when it comes to talking with each other and especially with our kids. i think number one, having conversations about eating disorders is really important. they're too common and too deadly not to talk about, and we have to look at our own behaviors and what are we modeling our ourselves, our friends, each other? do we think of food as fun and delicious and something that brings people together or something else? >> you know, i think modeling is th most important thing, but it's kind of tricky for dads, isn't it? they almost can never say anything or shouldn't, right? say anything about eating or body image or anything like that. >> it's tricky like maybe it is a sex talk. that's how i think about it.
8:46 am
everyone's a little uncomfortable, but you need to open the door, and so that i think when we think about the mortality rates and how serious this is, it's worth talking about. >> thanks for coming in. >> thank you so much.

we're back now with a dishy dive into the rise and near fall of one of the most iconic brands in america, j.crew. with its glossy catalog and preppy basics, j.crew became the ewe pick by us to brand for gen x with legends of fans like reese witherspoon, meghan markle and, of course, michelle obama. >> this is a j.crew ensemble. >> oh, wow. >> the inauguration story is
8:49 am
amazing. the obama girls both wore j.crew head to toe outfits with great color blocking. mrs. obama had these olive green gloves and a little piece of it is later that night, president obama actually wore a necktie that had been made for him. i don't think any other brand could say they dressed an entire first family for an inauguration. >> reporter: maggie bullock is the author behind "the of prep: the inside story of the rise and (near) fall of j.crew." let's talk about the sweater. oh, how i wanted that sweater. the unassuming sweater first put j.crew on the map in the late '80s. it was $89. >> so expensive. >> too much money for me, but i thought they were so cool and i remember borrowing a friend's. it was brown, cotton, and i'm sure it looked like a sack on me, but i felt so cool in it. >> i had the same exact experience. my first j.crew roll neck was a borrowed one and i felt like i had arrived. >> yes. >> i just sort of encapsulated,
8:50 am
like, this low key, not trying too hard east coast vibe. >> yes. >> that felt like -- it's really hard when you are trying to be cool to look like you're not trying to be cool. >> yeah. >> and the j.crew roll neck really delivered that. >> at least in my head it did. >> reporter: after decades of success, j.crew began to struggle, first with the departure of creative director jenna lyons in 2017. >> let's talk about the jenna lyons factor. >> let's talk about jenna. she put j.crew together with designer brands in a way we'd never seen before, and she made people sitting at home think, i could look like that. i could do that. i think that's one of the most interesting things about the challenge that faces j.crew now, is that they really built themselves around this human being, and then they took that human being out, and then it was sort of, like, well, what are we left with? >> reporter: bankruptcy and a massive corporate reorganization fllowed. >> they're not where they used to be and they're very much in
8:51 am
the middle of putting the pieces back together. >> reporter: can they make a comeback in the here today gone tomorrow fashionscape? >> it is really the button down shirts and the chinos, and work to weekend wardrobe. >> will they ever be back as big as they were? >> i think they can come back, but i don't think they can hold the cultural dominance they once had. it feels like they're on track in a way they haven't been since 2016. it's been a long time since they were on top. >> it's a good read, and jenna lyons' next move, she'll be joining the cast of "real housewives of new york" next season.
