>> he said i'll come in, but, janai, i want your seat and o -- >> from the moment i sat down. >> we will do what we can. >> what did i do the moment i sat down, boom, i spilled water all over your side. >> and we've been cackling ever since. we're following a lot of news this morning including the concerns of the banking industry. stocks falling despite the rescue of first republic bank. >> all this as the former parent company of collapsed silicon valley bank files for bankruptcy. abc's elizabeth schulze is on the north lawn of the white house with the very latest. elizabeth, good morning again. >> reporter: gio, good morning again. the white house is sending a clear message to americans that your money in the bank is safe. but investors are still worried about the overall health of the financial system, especially had when it comes to some of those regional banks. shares of first republic plunged more than 30% in trading friday. that was after 11 of the nation's biggest lenders agreed to give it a $30 billion cash infusion. other regional bank stocks including pacwest, western

alliance and comerica all traded lower on wall street friday. it's been just one week since silicon valley bank collapsed and now its parent company has filed for bankruptcy. there is growing outrage over how the bank's ceo greg becker sold $3.6 million in stock through a trust just weeks before the collapse. his lawyer tells us he conducted himself properly at all times, but in a new statement, president biden is calling on congress to approve tougher penalties for the executives of failed banks including clawbacks for their compensation, fines and limits preventing them from working at other banks in the future. the president says those who are responsible for this mess, gio, should be held accountable. >> all right, elizabeth, so here's a big question, how will this uncertainty in the banking industry, how will it affect americans who are out there looking to take out a loan? >> reporter: we've already seen the federal reserve raise interest rates. that makes it more expensive to borrow money for a mortgage or to pay off your credit card debt, but those higher rates are also a key reason why some banks

are having trouble raising cash. so the fed, when it meets next week, might raise interest rates by less now to ease some of the pressure on banks. that could be good news for american borrowers. guys. >> all right, elizabeth schulze, thank you. now to growing security concerns over tiktok. sources telling abc news the justice department is investigating alleged spying by some employees of the app's parent company. abc's senior investigative reporter aaron katersky back now with the details. aaron, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning to you. the journalists who cover the technology industry revealed tiktok spied on them and now law enforcement sources told abc news the fbi and federal prosecutors are investigating tiktok's parent company bytedance over this possible srveillance. bytedance has pledged to cooperate and acknowledged several employees who improperly obtained data of tiktok users in the u.s. are no longer employed. you can bet tiktok's chief executive is going to face questions about this next week when he is scheduled to testify before congress.

as lawmakers question whether the app helps china spy on the u.s. or interfere with u.s. communications. the biden administration wants tiktok spun off from its chinese owners or face a nationwide ban. tiktok has said a forced sale will not resolve national security concerns. and those concerns don't really seem to be stopping anybody from using the app. it's thought, janai, 100 million americans are on tiktok, janai. >> just incredible numbers there and, of course, the concerns, aaron, thank you for that update. now to lance reddick passing away at the age of just 60. tributes pouring in overnight for the actor who so many remember from, of course, "the wire." zohreen shah has more. zohreen, good morning, again, to you. >> reporter: good morning, janai. this was a major shock in the entertainment world. lance reddick was a beloved actor, and this morning many of his colleagues are speaking out saying he was taken just too soon. this morning, hollywood

and he once said he actually was never interested in television, but that the show "oz" and then "the wire" changed everything for him. >> as long as i have days left on those dead wires, this case goes on. >> reporter: reddick earned a s.a.g. awards nomination two years ago as part of the ensemble for regina king's movie "one night in miami." he's survived by his wife and two children. just such a big loss and reddick has a few upcoming projects as well that have been shot including "the white men can't jump" remake and the netflix biopic on congresswoman shirley chisholm. janai. >> zohreen, thank you. as far as lance reddick, when the news came out yesterday, responding to the e-mails as we get that. i said it is impossible to overstate how epic he was in "the wire." i know i'm not alone in thinking that was one of the best shows ever on tv and he was just pivotal in it and so many other

change, like. i get real emotional because nobody has ever done that before. and it's, like, i want to be here. >> oh, my gosh. i need a minute, right? that was so sad and just it's so great that they're doing that but as we have covered, i'm so sorry, guys, but as we've covered the violence around this country, the gun violence and how it impacts youth, to have a program like this and to see the impact it has on those kids is incredible and just a big shoutout to -- i'm so sorry. i'm so emotional. i'm so sad. >> you shouldn't be sorry. >> abby cruz, she turned us on to that story. you may recognize her from "power trip." she's an incredible reporter. for her to bring us that story is great. thank you to abby. >> we saw what it meant to isaiah and what it means to you. >> and that one man saying he needed to be in the audience to be listening. we see the impact directly. very nice story. thank you for bringing that to

was wrong. >> reporter: andrea sprinting to her daughter's side and putting her cpr and aed training to the test. >> i felt for a pulse. i've been trained on an aed device and knew kind of in that moment she needs this. when i had given her her second breath after that cpr, she did take kind of a big inhale. she kind of was like big inhale and i was like, okay, we got her breathing. >> reporter: according to cdc, across all ages, 70% to 90% of those who suffer cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting die before they even reach a hospital. and in young athletes, sudden cardiac arrest, although rare, is the leading medical cause of death according to the mayo clinic. for keianna, she spent a week in the hospital recovering. doctors implanting a device that can detect abnormal heart rhythms. the medical team crediting her mom andrea for the training.

-- for her quick thinking. >> i had the confidence to go in knowing, i can do this, instinct just took over. >> and keianna is at home recovering. doctors don't know why she went into cardiac arrest. ever since the damar hamlin incident in february, there's been a nationwide push to have aeds and cpr-trained people at youth sporting events. guys. >> thanks for bringing us that story. now we're going to put sleep awareness week to bed. and the new study out on sleep deprivation and your kids. how losing just minutes of shut-eye could have an effect on their health. becky worley has details. take a look. ♪ >> sweetie, you got to get moving. >> reporter: kids and sleep, ask any parent, and they'll tell you. >> oh, get up. we're late. come on. >> reporter: it is a constant battle, and in a new study looking at the effects of mild sleep deprivation in children, researchers who followed 100 healthy kids aged 8 to 12 report

kids who slept just 39 minutes less were not only tired but also reported a decrease in overall well-being. >> they were struggling in terms of mood, how they were feeling in school, how they felt in their bodies, and how they were functioning emotionally during the day. >> reporter: and when these kids were deprived of even more sleep, 71 minutes less, the results were magnified, that's because sleep helps us regulate our physical and mental health. >> i absolutely think that sleep is critical for the health and well-being of children and adults, and it is often something that is easy for people to make a low priority, because there are only so many hours in a day. >> if i had 30 minutes less, it would just be awful. >> reporter: lily and charlie's mom jennifer make their sleep a priority, but on days that sleep does slip -- >> those routine things definitely feel harder when they haven't had enough sleep. the more sleep that they're missing, everything just feels bigger.

i think they'll probably tell you they have a hard time concentrating in school. they're more upset. we can't get through just basic things in the day. >> when i don't get enough sleep, i don't have, like, very much patience. >> reporter: these studies support what we intuitively believe, if your kid doesn't get enough sleep, a bad night, it's quite possible they'll have a bad day. she says it's worth it to focus on getting them more sleep. even a small amount can make a difference saying, be disciplined about a set bedtime for kids on weekdays and weekends, making sure your child's bedtime allows for wind-down time, and avoid electronic devices right before bed. >> it's important if you have an older child to talk about why sleep is important and to show them that you think sleep is important for you too, and that means not staying on your device all night. that's a way to show your child this is important to you as well. >> reporter: for "good morning america," becky worley, abc news, oakland, california. >> so easy to just keep scrolling and scrolling and not

getting that sleep, but it's so important. >> exactly. when the kids don't get sleep, the parents don't get sleep. >> i was there. >> the parents suffer too. >> amen. now let's go back to somara for another check of the weather. spring, two days away, but that is a lot of freezing temperatures in the country. >> whoo, we are looking at these numbers just tumble, okay? we have freeze warnings already in place for much of the southeast. they've already got that growing season in motion. here they go with a hard freeze, 29 in jackson, 28 in atlanta, good morning, raleigh, 32 degrees for you. that cold blast really bringing on the windchills here. you can see feel like temperatures, 2 below zero in chicago. down to the single digits in areas like kansas city and garden city and out towards denver, around 14 degrees, and the chill just keeps going. sunday morning, waking up to windchills below zero up in minneapolis, even as far south as new orleans, 37 degrees. if you are running in the united airlines new york city half marathon, temperatures will be in the 30s.

pull up and make it, you get respect. you know what i mean? people like, oh, yeah, you're great. it doesn't matter anything else so i think there's a great equalizing, like, effect of just stepping onto a basketball court, and i always felt that growing up too. >> that's interesting. >> one of the cool things, obviously you're in a disney movie, but one of the cool things we have this tiktok video where you went to disneyland and you were doing a different kind of dunk in a disneyland. what was that like? you had fun. >> yeah. >> there you go? >> no, i had a bunch of fun. i didn't know there was so much good food at disneyland and i didn't have to pay for any of it so it was like -- >> i hope not. >> so like i just had to eat all day. and they were like, you know, like talk about your dunking technique for like each item and i had to, you know, i don't know -- >> was that all you did, you didn't go on rides. >> oh, i went on one ride. i'm deathly afraid of roller coasters.

♪ we fell in love ♪ now to dating talk. the hashtag that has users logging on to lament about their

love life and dating disasters. oupe be gandhi joinuso talk d her secrets to finding a we're so happy to have you with us this morning. bela, those posts -- >> hi, i'm so happy. >> those posts can be entertaining and even community building, but let's get your professional opinion. are these women smart to share? >> i'm not sure i would say smart, per se, but i understand why they're doing it. when you want to share something that's sad, like you've been ghosted or broken up with, going to social media, posting a video and then watching people like, comment, talk to you, it presses the little dopamine lever in our head, right? it gives us that happiness boost. it makes us feel more supported, less lonely and, like, we have community. >> and, bela, for these potential partners, for example, who are even seeing these posts, it's probably a good idea and a good way to be better and do better, right?

>> you would think, gio, right. if guys were watching these videos, to get educated on, hmm, what are women actually looking for and what shouldn't i do and how do they want to be treated, i guess that's a great thing. however, if you become kind of a dating tok influencer and lots of people are following you and the guys you're dating are looking at you and know you're that tiktoker, they might be wondering, hmm, is this an authentic date, or am i content at this point? >> yeah, so it's kind of like dating for all the wrong reasons in that situation. all right, so, if someone finds themselves having a series of bad dates or bad relationships, what's the first step in fixing that? >> the first step in most big things, right, it's like turn the mirror back to yourself. have a little bit of self-awareness, which can be hard, and the first step is really saying, you know what, i admit my relationship picker is broken, right?

this is often the hardest thing to do because what do we always say, i attract bad people. i attract crazy people. the real point is, i'm accepting all of that. nobody can date you without your consent, right? so, if you're continuously choosing emotionally avoidant people it could be attachment stuff and dysfunctional relationship patterns that you developed as a young adult. you got to first say the problem is on my side of the street metaphorically. it's not my neighbor's side. it's my side. >> you had to dig in through your own dirty laundry for that. >> bela, our next question comes from a viewer in miami. check this one out. >> are there any signs when chatting with someone on an app that things will or won't work out on a date? >> hmm. what do you think? >> that's a really good question. that's the million-dollar

question, right? the signs to look for, if someone is chatting, they seem normal and nice, remember i always say, crazy cannot hide for more than ten minutes, okay? so keep that in mind, okay? so someone who is moving things along, doesn't just want to be a pen pal, but they're moving it along at a good pace, right? dating is like uncorking a good bottle of wine. you want to let it breathe, and you want to sip it slowly. someone who is not too fast and furious, okay. now, as you progress and maybe you're dating this person for several weeks, a person that really likes you is not going to keep you guessing. you're not going to have to wonder do they like me or don't, because it's easy. now, on the flip side, if that person has been consistent, reliable, amazing over several weeks and suddenly their behavior changes, they're like, ooh, i'm working on a big deal at work, i'm too busy, you don't hear from them as much.

they don't text you, they don't call you, that is a clear sign that somebody's behavior and their feelings towards you have changed. nobody is ever, ever, ever too busy to call you back or to text you back if they want to. >> yep, yep, won't keep you guessing, keep it easy. okay, so, how do you tell the difference, bela, between something that's real and what you call a love bomber, what's that? >> love bombing is all the topic and all the rage. love bombing is somebody who literally wants to come in and like knock you off your feet with good stuff so they can have their way with you. lots of grandiose words, gestures, future promises, now, to really ascertain if somebody is a good fit for you or a love bomber, what you have to do is ask the question and just say, i want to slow things down a little bit, right? i love where this is going, but i've made mistakes in the past.

can we just take this slow? a love bomber is going to probably flip out, what? you don't want to date this? i'm moving too fast for you? and they'll flip. but somebody who is really into you will say, you know what, i'm good with that. we can keep things slow, right? and never ignore red flags when you're dating. trust your gut, and trust your intuition, it's usually always right, unless you have a broken picker. then you need to enlist the help of somebody really specifically like a good coach to help you work through those patterns. that is what i do every single day at smart dating academy. >> a whole new vocabulary today. the broken picker, love bomber. taking us to school, bela. >> we appreciate it, and there's hope out there. keep swiping, right? right? >> keep swiping. >> there you go. thank you, bela. for more relationship tips check out bela's smart dating academy podcast and now we're going to circle back to somara for another check of the weekend forecast.
