7:02 am
>> as long as i have days left on those dead wires, this case goes on. >> from fellow actors across hollywood praising his talents. and historic upset. >> it's good! >> fairleigh dickinson defeats purdue in a stunning victory. >> you made history, boys. you just made history, college basketball history. >> the madness marching on. and good morning, america. eva is off today, but we're very happy to have our buddy gio benitez back on the desk with us this morning. >> we are thrilled. >> your bracket busted too, right? >> listen, we want to make sure you were the flower between two thorns. >> i said give me my seat. your bracket is busted too, just like his now. >> march madness living up to its name. i had purdue going all the way. that didn't work out. what an amazing win, though, for fairleigh dickinson university overnight taking down number one
7:03 am
seed purdue, the 23-point underdogs besting the boilermakers. we'll have much more on that historic victory coming up later in the show. >> we can't wait for that. we begin with the deep freeze settling over the country. spring may be two days away, but it's about to get real cold here. an arctic blast bringing freezing temperatures from the upper midwest to the deep south creating icy road conditions. >> and that system bringing with it below zero windchills. even some snow squalls. abc's meteorologist somara theodore is here with just how cold it is going to get. hey, somara. >> good morning, janai. you know, we ended the week rather warm for a lot of folks, but last night, a brutal cold snuck in. it may come as a shock to the system this morning. take a look. freeze warnings have been issued from dallas to little rock, into atlanta and raleigh. we're talking a hard freeze here and just getting growing season started. if you take a look at this morning farther north, minus 19 is what it's going to feel like in bismarck. it is a bitterly cold start. tomorrow morning we have the
7:04 am
united airlines new york city half marathon. check out the feels like temperatures in new york, coming in at 20 degrees. make sure you're layered up if you're going out for that morning run. >> got to get the thermals in place. thank you, somara. overseas now to new developments in the war in ukraine. the international criminal court issuing an arrest warrant for vladimir putin, and we're hearing what moscow thinks of that. abc's james longman joins us now from dnipro, ukraine, with the very latest. james, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, whit. president zelenskyy has said the international criminal court's decision to issue vladimir putin with an arrest warrant is historic. now, the russian president is accused of war crimes and specifically the forced deportation of thousands of children from ukraine into russian-controlled territory. moscow denies all this, of course, and calls the move outrageous. putin is the most powerful person ever issued an arrest warrant by the criminal court, although practically it's difficult to see how he could
7:05 am
actually be arrested, though it may make international travel for him more difficult. meanwhile, russia is giving state medals to pilots who brought down the drone. this is a video of a pair of russian jets dumping fuel on a reaper reconnaissance drone before one struck the propeller. finland is now one step closer to nato membership now that turkey has lifted its veto. finland shares an 830-mile border with russia and applied to join the alliance after this invasion into ukraine began. whit. >> james, thank you. of course, all of this happening as putin is set to meet next week with chinese president xi jinping in moscow. for more on that, let's go to abc's britt clennett in hong kong. britt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. we know there will be trade deals made, joint declarations signed, but really the world will be honed in on any discussions around ukraine, of course. this is the first time xi is visiting russia since putin ordered the invasion, and there's plenty at stake here.
7:06 am
the kremlin wants this visit to present a united front and give the impression beijing is rallying behind russia as this war grinds on as questions linger over whether china's tacit support will involve lethal aid. in reality, though, china has walked a very fine line trying to remain kind of publicly neutral while also helping russia weather western sanctions against it, and for the chinese side, this is fresh from brokering the saudi/iran deal. you know, china is hoping it can kind of continue this role of peacemaker with xi very keen to earn respect as a statesman on the world stage and there are also expectations of a call between xi and zelenskyy as well, or at least the white house hopes so, and the white house has criticized china's call for a cease-fire saying it amounts to ratifying russia's conquests and would put ukraine at a distinct disadvantage. gio. >> all right, britt, thank you very much for that report. and we're going to turn now to growing security concerns over tiktok. sources telling abc news the justice department is investigating alleged spying by some employees of the social
7:07 am
media app's parent company. abc's aaron katersky joins us now with the new scrutiny the company is facing. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: good morning, gio. scrolling tiktok can seem a carefree distraction. some government officials see a risk to you and to national security, and now the justice department is looking for evidence of spying. federal prosecutors and the fbi are investigating tiktok's parent company for possible surveillance of journalists who cover the technology industry. bytedance, tiktok's parent, has acknowledged four employees inappropriately obtained data of some u.s. tiktok users including two journalists. in a statement, the company condemned the actions of those involved and said they're no longer employed, but that's no reassurance to the biden administration, which has pushed bytedance to sell the app or face a possible ban. >> we have expressed concerns over china's potential use of software platforms that could endanger or threaten america's safety and their national security. >> reporter: tiktok says a sale would make no difference to u.s.
7:08 am
national security, and experts say a nationwide ban may not stop the app from collecting americans' data. >> you don't actually even have to use tiktok or never had to use tiktok for tiktok to have your first nme, email addresses, maybe even your patient records. >> reporter: pixels can be embedded in websites that have nothing to do with the app. open those webpages, say, to shop or make an appointment, tiktok knows, and it knows everything you type into the pages. while other technology companies also sprinkle their pixels throughout the internet, the concern with tiktok is the harvested data ending up in china. >> where do you go? where do you travel? where do you leave and everything else about your day-to-day lives, so that really makes an easy case for someone to influence. >> reporter: now, this morning, bytedance is pledging to cooperate with any official investigation. tiktok's chief executive is due to testify before congress next week, but really, janai, there
7:09 am
are no laws to prevent tiktok or any other company from using all of our data that's harvested online. janai. >> obviously so many concerns about that data. aaron, thank you. turning now to growing concerns, these about the banking industry. stocks falling despite a rescue package for first republic bank as the former parent company of collapsed silicon valley bank files for bankruptcy protection. abc's elizabeth schulze is on the north lawn of the white house with what president biden is now asking congress to do. elizabeth, good morning. >> reporter: janai, good morning. the biden administration and america's biggest banks have taken drastic steps to shore up the financial system, but there are still questions about if these moves are enough to prevent a bigger banking crisis. this morning, uncertainty for some regional banks as a cash lifeline for first republic bank fails to reassure investors. the company's stock plunging more than 30% in trading friday despite a $30 billion rescue package from 11 of america's
7:10 am
biggest lenders. >> the concern a lot of investors have is, does that $30 billion solve the problem, or is that a temporary band-aid? if it's a temporary band-aid, then what? >> reporter: wall street is now on edge about the finances of other banks with three more dropping friday. the white house insisting extraordinary steps by the federal government to boost confidence in the banking system are working, and president biden is now urging congress to approve tougher penalties for executives of failed banks, including clawbacks for their compensation and stock sales, fines and limitations preventing them from working at other banks. >> we must get the full accounting of what happened and why those responsible can be held accountable. >> reporter: one week after silicon valley bank collapsed, its parent company has now filed for bankruptcy. government filings show silicon valley bank's ceo greg becker sold $3.6 million in stock
7:11 am
through a trust just weeks before its failure. his lawyer saying in a statement that becker conducted himself properly at all times. first republic's executives sold millions in stock in recent months. the bank not commenting on those sales. overnight moody's became the latest credit agency to downgrade first republic. another wild card for these banks is the federal reserve, which could now raise interest rates by less than expected to ease up pressure on these banks. that could be good news if you're trying to take out a new mortgage or pay off your credit card debt, whit. >> all right. sthulz schulze, thank you. now to the investigation into former president trump's handling of classified documents. sources telling abc news that a federal judge has ruled trump's attorney must give more testimony to a grand jury. abc's jay o'brien is in washington with the latest. jay, good morning to you. >> reporter: whit, good morning to you. all of these proceedings are secret, they're kept away from public view because they're part
7:12 am
of an ongoing federal grand jury investigation, but sources telling abc news that evan corcoran, who is an attorney for former president trump is -- has been ordered by a federal judge to give additional testimony to that grand jury, which is investigating classified documents seized by the fbi at trump's mar-a-lago estate. sources familiar with the matter say that special counsel jack smith wants to question corcoran about the former president's potential efforts to obstruct federal officials from getting those classified documents back. in particular sources say investigators are zeroing in on a call between trump and his lawyer that allegedly took place on the day federal investigators subpoenaed surveillance video from inside mar-a-lago suspecting trump was still holding on to classified materials. corcoran, who has already been called before this grand jury once before, refused to answer questions citing attorney/client privilege, but now this judge is siding with prosecutors
7:13 am
who cited a legal provision which allows them to work around attorney/client privilege if they believe the lawyer helped in the commission of a crime. a trump spokesperson blasting this decision saying, it jeopardizes fundamental american rights and values and is un-american and unacceptable. meanwhile, sources tell abc news that attorneys for former president trump are expected to ask a d.c. federal court to stay this ruling, put it on pause while they appeal, gio. >> all right, jay, thank you so much. former president trump announcing now his return to facebook and youtube. trump posting, "i'm back" with an old clip of him at a rally saying, "sorry to keep you waiting. complicated business, complicated." this was his first time back on the made social media sites after being banned following the attack on the capitol more than two years ago. twitter also reinstated trump's account last november, but he has yet to post there, janai. >> all right, gio. well, now to thedenstrs asn police as a labor strike leaves trash piling up on the streets of paris. abc's ines de la cuetara is in
7:14 am
that is sparking outrage, and this has been going on for a few months, ines. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, janai. it's not the paris you typically think of, but this is what it looks like right now, mounds and mounds of trash piling up as garbage collectors go on strike to protest pension reforms. they've been on strike for days, more than 10,000 tons of trash piling up across the city and some workers now are being forced to go back to work to start cleaning up. we're also seeing massive protests breaking out around the country. millions have been taking to the streets since mid-january to protest reforms, and here in paris overnight we did see protesters set fires in the heart of the city clashing with police officers. this comes as french president macron is trying to raise the minimum retirement age from 62 to 64. he argues he doesn't have a choice, that people are living longer, and that the government will go in the red should the system stay as is. demonstrators, though, are arguing that there are other
7:15 am
ways to finance pensions, and they're also frustrated with the way macron is going about it here. macron is using a procedure similar to executive action in the u.s. to try and get this through, and many demonstrators say that is anti-democratic. now, we are expecting these strikes and these protests to continue over the next few weeks. the macron government is hoping the law will go into effect in the summer and on monday lawmakers will hold a vote of no confidence in macron's government, though that is not expected to pass. guys. >> something to watch closely. ines, thank you. now to new data about the origin of covid. an international team of scientists saying dna from raccoon dogs found in virus samples at a market in wuhan, china, may point to where the pandemic started. abc's karina mitchell is here now with more. karina, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning to you. the rival theories about how the pandemic started are well known, a possible accidental leak from a chinese research lab or transmission by animals, possibly at a wet market in wuhan, china. the latest information comes
7:16 am
from an international team of virus experts who say they found dna from raccoon dogs mixed with the virus in samples from the wuhan market. this could be evidence that the raccoon dogs were infected and passed the virus on to people, but it's not definitive. someone at the market could have been infected and left traces in a dog stall. this data has yet to be peer reviewed or published in a scientific journal, but it comes three weeks after reports the u.s. department of energy concluded with low confidence that an accidental leak from a lab in wuhan was the most likely origin of the pandemic. now, the new information is not likely to settle the question and the data is incomplete and experts say without more cooperation from beijing and more sharing of raw data, it may be hard to fill in the gaps, guys. >> all right, karina, thank you so much for that. time now for the weather. let's bring in somara again. >> good morning, everyone. so, you know, spring is only two days away, but winter is still in null --
7:17 am
>> don't you worry. >> this don't look like spring, does it? cottonwood county, minnesota, along highway 60 we've got a car jackknifed into a tractor trailer, blowing snow and reduced visibility and in the coming days, we'll continue to see it moving through parts of the great lakes. we'll start to see this turn into a real lake-effect snow situation, especially in areas like upstate new york just off north of syracuse there. this is sunday morning, and then as you can see, by sunday afternoon, we start to see a lot of that snow shift into central pennsylvania, and we could see anywhere from 6 to 10 inches near watertown, new york, just north of syracuse where we're expecting most of this, but we could definitely get in on at least one to three inches down towards the ohio valley. here's a look at the windchill. so it's not just the snow. the winds downright disrespectful, talking 19 degrees is what it's going to feel like sunday morning in new york city. out towas toa, des u' g u to on sunday morning, so really
7:18 am
cold stuff here. we're going to talk more about this. for >> and, you know, guys, spring, it just plays with my emotions. yesterday here in the northeast it was warm. >> yeah. >> we were out enjoying. >> i know. >> yeah. >> you think you got a chance and then it pulls away, then it comes back. >> those downright disrespectful winds. >> no respect from the wind. thank you, somara. now to march madness and what could be the biggest upset in ncaa tournament history.
7:19 am
16th seed fairleigh dickinson university, yes, new jersey's own, taking down number one seed purdue. abc's phil lipof is on the fdu campus where they are celebrating the stunning victory. phil, good morning. >> reporter: new jersey's own. whit, listen closely. you can hear the theme song from "rudy" playing clear across campus. to say this was a david and goliath matchup would be an understatement. fdu almost didn't make the tournament, and now they stand alone with one other team in college hoops history. only -- >> desperation. >> reporter: -- in march. >> straightaway three. it's good! >> reporter: the 16th seed hailing from new jersey stunning number one seed purdue in what can only be described as a legendary moment in college basketball. the knights coming in as an underdog but led the way for most of the game. their defense relentless
7:20 am
outworking one of the best teams in the country with forward points. it was clear the underdogs had victory on their minds. >> and now the crowd is starting to ride with the underdog. >> reporter: this three-pointer with more than just a minute left sealed the deal. >> can you believe it? >> reporter: a stunning moment for the 16th seeders who finished last season 4-22 after losing to the merrimack warriors in the conference title game. fdu did not originally qualify for the tournament, but with the warriors ineligible to compete the knights seized their spot and undoubtedly rose to the occasion. before tonight 16 seeds were just 1 in 150 all time. the last to do it, umbc back in 2018. the retrievers tweeting we have a friend now. >> you just made history, boys. college basketball history. >> reporter: and overnight
7:21 am
in the women's bracket heartbreak too. >> three ball from the corner is good! >> reporter: princeton, south dakota, georgia and mississippi state stunning their competition while top contender south carolina's pursuit of perfection continues after beating norfolk state. all right, so back to fdu here in new jersey and that david and goliath matchup, it is not hyperbole. fdu is the smallest team in the league. there are 363 teams. they are the smallest. average height, 6'1" playing against a junior from purdue who is 7'4" tall and 305 pounds. janai. >> and all that tells you is don't count out n-e-w jersey. >> yeah, that's right. that's right. >> thank you, phil, and you never do that. tune in to all the march madness tournaments on espn networks and the espn app. plus, head coach of fdu, tobin anderson, joins us live later in this show to talk about that
