the anniversary of the good friday agreement and promoting peace in northern ireland. but it is the discovery of more and more sensitive leaked classified material that is overshadowing much of this visit. president biden in northern ireland this morning meeting with the british prime minister. amid a national security scramble. the biden administration now trying to contain the fallout as it races to find out how dozens of apparently classified pentagon documents were leaked and posted on the internet. exposing top secret u.s. intelligence to the world. >> we take this very seriously. >> back in washington, defense secretary lloyd austin speaking out for the first time admitting they don't know how many documents are still out there. or who is behind this? >> where exactly and who had access at that point, we don't know. we simply don't know at this point. >> among the most stunning leaks, revelations that the pentagon has doubts about the potential progress of the war in

ukraine. "the washington post" reporting one document it obtained included the assessment that ukraine would fall short in its expected counteroffensive this spring. "the post" reporting the top secret assessment saying ukraine only has enough troops and equipment to make modest gains. but secretary austin downplaying it. >> they have much of the capability that they need to continue to be successful. >> and now, in another document, "the post" is reporting egypt, one of america's closest allies in the middle east was secretly planning to help russia offerig to supply moscow with tens of thousands of rockets. the document, which abc news has not seen, reportedly quotes the egyptian president instructing his senior military officials to keep the plan secret to avoid problems with the west. the white house would not say if the u.s. has intelligence that egypt planned to arm the russians, just that it never actually happened. while an egyptian official is

dismissing the report as rumors. now in the meantime, the secretaries of defense and state have been on the phone with top ukrainian officials as the u.s. is now racing to contain the diplomatic fallout is now ricochetting around the world. robin? >> we appreciate your reporting and as we heard, some of the leaked documents related to the war in ukraine. for the reaction there, let's go to our chief foreign correspondent ian pannell. good morning, ian. >> yeah, good morning, robin. that's right. ukraine is trying to play down the impacts of these leaks but the documents from february do suggest potential problems for the country. first, they face a dire shortage of air defense missiles and that the upcoming spring offensive may not be as successful as some expect. u.s. official confirming to abc news that the classified u.s. intelligence assessment does say that ukraine is unlikely to capture as much territory as last year's counteroffenses. ukraine is saying that the leaks won't fail the plans but under real pressure to deliver some momentum on the battlefield. meanwhile, russia is testing

intercontinental ballistic missile saying it's designed to test new strategic missile systems. that comes, of course, amid some recent prisoner swaps, but also now the director of the c.i.a. saying clearly that he thinks vladimir putin isn't serious about negotiations to even end this war. george? >> ian pannell, thanks. president biden is dealing with the arrest of the journalist in russia. he called the family on the way to belfast and the special envoy roger carstens is leading the way to get him home. thank you for joining us this morning. has any american diplomat made contact yet with him? >> as of this time, no one has made contact with him from the state department or united states government. >> what do we know about his condition? >> as we understand, he's in good spirits. his health is good. but haven't been able to verify that by way of a consulate version. we're urging the russians to allow access. >> have you personally spoken with the russians? >> i have not. i would imagine the coming days,

weeks, months we will have a chance to start engaging the russians on this topic. what i can tell you is that the secretary of state had a chance to talk to the foreign minister and other parts of the united states government, we've had a chance to talk to our russian counterparts so that we've begun in earnest to start sketching out what a negotiation might look like. but we have -- we have yet to get together with them to discuss how we're going to make this happen and get it done. >> give everybody a sense of what your job is exactly and what your strategy will be to get him home. >> in terms of what my job is, our job is to find ways to get americans out who are wrongfully detained or held hostage by terrorist groups. additionally, we spend a lot of time taking care of the families. so i'll have a chance to visit the family in pennsylvania in the coming days. we'll spend a few hours with them describing how we're going to partner with the family to bring their loved ones home. but really, my overarching job is to bring together and coordinate all elements of the

national government, members on capitol hill, members of the media and certainly family members to find a way and negotiating strategy that allow us to return their loved one home to the united states. >> in the end as we saw with brittany griner it will require some kind of trade with the russians, won't it? >> we don't know yet. i think these things are best done in private. i don't want to negotiate in public. if we start to show our hand and our strategy, that will decrease the chances of bringing evan home. some of the things are best not discussed. >> not just evan but paul being held by the russians. >> i had a chance to talk with paul on monday, the 10th of april. he called me from prison. spoke for about 15 minutes. we engaged with his family all the time. it's pretty much continuous communication with the wheeland family and that's really the mission, not only to bring evan home but paul home as well. >> thanks so much for your time this morning. robin? >> george now, the latest on the news breaking overnight that massive fire at a recycling plant in indiana sending toxic

smoke into the air forcing thousands out of their homes. alex presha has the latest. >> this morning, more than 2,000 residents in wayne county, indiana ordered to evacuate a toxic plume into the sky.llin- >> the smoke is definitely toxic. if there's a lot of smoke, they need to get out of it. >> the fire began tuesday afternoon. officials believe a tractor-trailer caught fire nearby. the flames spreading to this recycling facility 70 miles outside of indianapolis. the town's fire chief saying the flames were feeding off of unknown types of plastics. >> once the fire got out of control and down on us, we backed out real quick. and then went to a defensive mode. >> the blaze so big, it could be seen on these satellite images from the national weather service. the flames sending nearby residents sprinting to shelter. >> so many of us were outside looking at this spectacle. we had a tornado warning a few weeks ago, and to this looked

just as scary as probably seeing a tornado approaching. >> the town ordering evacuations within 1/2 mile. >> we don't know whether the residents can come back in until after we do the air quality testing. >> crews working into the night gaining containment but concern growing over the long term impact. >> the health effects of these disasters can be tremendous. >> while no injuries have been reported, officials this morning are frustrated by what some have told us was a lack of upkeep at the facility. the fire chief saying we knew it wasn't a matter of if. it was a matter of when this was going to happen. the state already on edge over receiving hazardous shipments of toxic waste from february's norfolk southern train derailment in ohio. and this town which is just over the border with ohio is rallying around the first responders. pallets of water, gatorade and a company that donated biscuits and gravy to the firefighters here. but as the sun was coming up, we got a chance to see what they're up against. that huge wall of smoke there in the distance, that is the fire.

still a lot of work left to do here, michael. >> big challenge there, alex. thank you so much for that. now to newly released body cam video of police taking down the shooter who killed five people at the kentucky bank where he worked. trevor ault is in louisville with new details about the victims and how the shooter got his weapon. good morning, trevor. > good morning, michael. and there's now a growing memorial right here on the very steps these officers sprinted up to stop this shooter, the shattered windows are boarded up. while the body camera footage is very intense and horrifying, it shows the exact response that was needed to save lives. [gunshots] >> this morning, newly released body camera video showing louisville police officers rushing into the line of fire to stop that deadly bank shooting. officer cory galloway and the rookie officer dodging bullets before even exiting their car. >> back up! back up! >> still pushing towards the entrance, running up the stairs

when the shooter fires again. officer wilkes shot in the head. officer galloway grazed by a bullet, falling and then rushing to cover. >> he's shooting straight through these windows right towards the officer. >> soon after returning fire, killing the suspect. officials say the 25-year-old connor sturgeon, current employee at the bank, had set up an ambush in the front lobby waiting for authorities to arrive after causing more than a dozen casualties killing five people with an ar-15 he bought six days prior. >> we know he left a note. we know he texted or called at least one person to let them know he was suicidal and contemplating harm. >> overnight, his family telling abc news in a statement "while the shooter had mental health challenges which we as a family were actively addressing, there were never any warning signs or indications he was capable of this shocking act." the officer is now in critical

condition. the deputy chief commending his bravery on just his fourth shift as a police officer. >> the officer was a brand new officer. he had no experience. he was going based on two things. his training and his character. >> memorials now growing at the steps of the bank. five crosses for five lives taken. josh barrick, tommy elliott, juliana farmer, jim tut and diana eckert and in the wake of the massacre, the chief medical officer calling for officials to do something to curb gun violence. >> we barely had to adjust our operating schedule to be able to do this. that's how frequent we are having to deal with gun violence in our community. >> and the mayor also pointed out under kentucky law, the ar-15 that was useed in this shooting will eventually go up for auction and could be back out on the streets. tonight in louisville, the city has planned a significant vigil honoring these victims. >> to politics now, latest

candidate to launch a race for the white house. south carolina senator tim scott contacted the news overnight and rachel scott is here with the details. good morning. >> at this point, senator tim scott has all but declared he's running for president. sources say that the south carolina senator is launching an exploratory committee for a presidential run. i just talked to his sources who say he's going to release it in the video you see here. it is a soft launch and allows scott to start raising money that eventually would be transferred to his campaign. it's the biggest step that he's taken so far ahead of 2024. and it comes as he's set to test his message in key primary states this week with stops in iowa, new hampshire and south carolina. senator scott has long been seen as a rising star in the party. but if he does enter this race, he would not be the only republican from south carolina. the state's former governor niki haley launched her campaign a few months ago and like haley, senator scott once promised he would support donald trump for president in 2024. now, it's looking more and more likely he would be running against him in a republican field that's only expected to grow even more crowded.

>> understand why south carolina politicians want to get in. that's an early primary state. but at the same time, you got the other senator lindsey graham who is a big supporter of donald trump. >> exactly, george. this is the thing here, the announcement by former president donald trump to announce his third bid for the white house has not cleared the field at all. so we're going to see, this is going to start to divide the republican party completely because on one hand, you have south carolina governor lindsey graham supporting trump and then you got potentially two south carolinaians in the race for president, george. >> rachel scott, thanks very much. robin? >> now to inflation and what's in store today as the latest numbers and prices are revealed. elizabeth schulze joins us live from a gas station in washington. good morning, elizabeth. >> robin, good morning. this report shows that inflation is continuing to cool off in part because of relief here at the gas pump in recent months though prices remain historically high. the consumer price index rose 5% in march from a year ago. that's an improvement from the 6% rate in february and is the slowest pace in nearly two

years. some of the places where price increases have been the biggest in the past year have been in air fares, up 18%, electricity up 10%. groceries and rent also higher especially for some of those staples like milk, cereal and butter. and now, after several months of lower prices, gas prices are ticking higher after major oil producing countries announced a surprise cut to oil supply. the national average this morning $3.62. that is up 9 cents from just a week ago. that's important to remember as we head into this summer driving season, prices still aren't at those record highs that we're approaching at this time last year when they were closer to $4 a gallon. guys? >> we'll keep that in mind. i know you'll be back in the next hour with what to do about those rising costs from gas to groceries. see you then. coming up, we have a scam targeting first time home buyers caught on camera at an airbnb. >> plus, elon musk's surprise interview released overnight talking about the state of

twitter, disinformation and layoffs. >> the latest in the lori daybell murder trial. what the judge said. we'll bring you that. let's go to ginger in logan, utah. >> we are getting the winds out of the canyons here in logan, utah. a new storm to come that i'll tell you about later. first, talk about windy and bad for fire all in new jersey. this fire, manchester township new jersey, so that's ocean county just west of toms river, 2500 acres at least have burned. we did have folks out of their home evacuated but now those evacuations have been lifted. the firefighters have been in there blocking the fire, putting fences in essentially to make sure it does not spread. so that's going to still be an issue. there's fire weather watches from delaware and pennsylvania. red flag warnings that have just popped up into massachusetts. the relative humidity is below 30% in a lot of places and you'll see gusts up to 25. red flag warnings from michigan back to arizona, and even new mexico seeing a red flag warning. remember, we've had heat and

record heat for now two days in a row. even salt lake city right by us here went to 83, excuse me. they were just a record low last week. so a lot of change really quickly. we're fully in the swing of spring. you can see the numbers here. chicago could see a record of 81. 78 cincinnati. that will keep marching east and that's where we'll see the numbers not just 15 but 20 and 25 degrees above average. new york city can close in on 90 degrees which is quite early. 80 for boston would be a record. philadelphia will go in the 80's as well. this is a very warm stretch and it's not just the afternoon highs but it's those overnight lows. that's going to be remarkable. we should stay above 60 degrees for five nights in new york city. that's the big picture. let's get the local weather in 30 seconds.

>> now, back with a warning for first time home buyers. renting airbnbs and then n de to make some them as homes huge, quick cash. gio has that story for us. good morning. >> good morning. this home owner was just trying to make some extra cash renting their home on airbnb like so many do. it turns out a crook was pretending to sell the house on the side. and she only found out because of a good samaritan. soaring interest rates and housing prices make the hunt for a new home challenging. >> listed for a very low price. >> but when kelly roth of oregon saw this listing, she thought she hit the jackpot for her friend who was looking to buy a home. >> i had asked my husband, i said where is this address? and then he said, it's over in this area. and i said, guess how much this house is. and he thought, you know,

$600,000. and i'm like no, $225,000. and he was like, no way! and he goes something must be not right. >> roth agreed and decided to find the home owner on line. >> my heart started beating fast. i was just thinking, how in the world could my home be listed? >> she confirmed her house was not for sale but was listed as a short term rental on airbnb. >> welcome, welcome! >> and when she checked her ring doorbell camera, she was shocked to find someone, not the woman she rented her house to, giving tours to potential buyers. >> i can hear the audio and then the family was meeting her. and she even said, please take off your shoes here and she was welcoming the family to show them around the home. >> the listing specifically says "for first time and cash buyers only." >> she would have them write a check personally to her vs. the title company which would be a standard practice. so i just thought, oh, my gosh, that is -- that's so sad for any

family that may be victims of her crime. >> but how did this even happen? well, airbnb tells us we provide account security measures and on-line safety tips to our users which helps make disturbing incidents like this very rare. despite those measures, in this case, a bad actor was able to take over a guest's account and we have been working to support our host. >> the lady that had booked it had been hacked, and she is a business owner in colorado. and it appears that her account had been compromised, and so even initial booking was fraud. >> these signs now posted outside of her home making it clear it is not for sale. just incredible! and airbnb wants to remind you to change your password regularly. make it difficult and unique and don't click on random links and e-mails. it's a good idea to make sure your connection is encrypted. you'll usually see a little lock icon next to the web address

and, of course, if it looks too good to be true, robin, it probably is. >> all right. anything else, gio, we can do to protect our account? >> absolutely, robin. it's called multifactor authentication and i have it on just about every account. basically, what happens is in order for you to log in from a new device, you'll need to use a second temporary password that's sent right to your phone to allow that access. and it's really a critical tool whether it's airbnb or any of your social media accounts. you just go into your settings and you'll find it there. >> you're going to help me after the show? >> right after the show. 9:01. >> seems like every day something else to look out for. thank you for that. coming up later, we have a heartwarming homecoming that previously conjoined twins finally reunited at home. and next, our play of the day. e day. ♪ ♪ bring more. ♪

were posted on line exposing top secret u.s. intelligence to the entire world. the defense secretary is admitting they don't know how many documents are out there or just who is behind this. the most stunning leak -- revelations that the pentagon has doubts about the potential progress about the war in ukraine. "the washington post" reporting on a top secret assessment which abc news has not seen that says ukraine would fall short in its expected counteroffensesive this spring predicting only modest gains. now, the pentagon is downplaying all this but the secretaries of defense and state have also been working the phones trying to reassure top ukrainian officials. george? >> yeah, that is cascading everywhere. thanks very much. >> george, growing tensions this morning in taiwan as the u.s. begins drills with the philippines in the region. the move followed days of china's aggressive drills. our foreign correspondent britt clennett joins us with more from taiwan. good morning, britt. >> good morning, robin. well, we just heard from the taiwanese authorities that china

will impose a no-fly zone for 27 minutes this weekend. china telling taiwan and south korea this is related to a satellite launch vehicle but it is causing alarm. you know, the last time china imposed similar restrictions, it launched missiles over here. so that was after a visit by former house speaker nancy pelosi and all of this comes as the u.s. and philippines begin their biggest ever drills, more than 17,000 troops are taking part over the next two weeks. and for the first time, they will involve live fire drills at sea and a boat sinking rocket assault. now, the focus is to ramp up sea and coastal defenses days after china carried out those aggressive drills that sealed off taiwan. china this morning really signalling it will sustain pressure on taiwan continuing to show its anger, of course, following a visit to the u.s. by the taiwanese leader who met with house speaker kevin mccarthy. now, you know, this news of

no-fly zone being imposed on this self-ruled island is really putting this place on edge. michael? >> definitely is on edge, thank you so much for that. now, we'll turn to the possible vote today on reinstating a tennessee state lawmaker. one of two voted out of the statehouse by republicans over protests in favor of gun control. alex perez is in nashville with the latest. good morning, alex. >> hey, good morning, michael. justin jones got his seat back on monday and in a matter of hours, justin pearson could learn if he will get his seat back. now, shelby county officials in memphis where pearson's district is located has scheduled a meeting for this afternoon to reinstate pearson as a state representative. now, pearson, along with the fellow democrat justin jones were ousted by the republican led legislature after they violated decorum speaking out of turn using a bullhorn to protest and call for gun reform on the house floor. their demonstration follows a fatal elementary school shooting in nashville that killed three

comments on social media even taking breaks all together from being on line reminding people you just don't know what someone is going through, guys. >> sure don't. good advice there. thanks very much. turn to inflation now. new figures out this morning, elizabeth schulze is at a gas station in washington to look at the numbers and what you can do about rising prices. good morning, elizabeth. we're talking about the consumer price index here. >> right, good morning, george. well, the consumer price index shows that inflation has been cooling but is still uncomfortably high. that index was up 6% in february. what that means is that american households paying $372 extra every single month for the same goods and services compared to this time last year. the prices of utilities, rent and groceries are still going up, could still be a while before we see those prices start to drop. >> that's a big difference right there, year over year. how do you lower your grocery bill? >> well, especially when you're thinking about staples like eggs, butter and milk. those prices especially high. so one thing to consider when

you go to the grocery store is use a credit card that can get you up to 6% cashback on grocery purchases. that can translate into hundreds of dollars back into your bank account every year. you also want to think about joining your grocery store's rewards program. it can be annoying. you got to put in your e-mail and phone number but it can give you extra discounts. when you're shopping, look at the price per unit for a product instead of just the overall price. and also, compare generic vs. brand name products. one other thing, when you're in the grocery aisle, you want to look high and low. sometimes the most expensive products are at the bottom because retailers assume you're going to go right at eye level when you make purchases. george? >> see the big sign behind you. what about gas prices? >> yep, gas prices ticking up once again especially as we're going into the summer driving season. one thing to remember is that blasting your air conditioner uses up a lot more gas. triple a actually recommends that you turn off the a.c. five minutes before you get to your destination. cruise control also can help you burn less gas. you can use apps like gas buddy

to find the best prices near you. keep in mind that gas stations off major highways actually charge more. one final tip here and this one is not going to be popular but consider driving a little bit slower. the energy department says that if you reduce your speed by five to 10 miles an hour, you can increase fuel economy by up to 14%. >> good warning right there but a lot of good advice there as well. >> never get over five to 10 miles per hour. >> that's it! >> all right, guys. turn now to startling numbers from a new c.d.c. report showing that during the pandemic more women died during pregnancy the year after giving birth. it's black maternal health week and janai norman is here with more on that report and why women of color are at greater risk. >> good morning. the rate of maternal death in the u.s. increased 75% in the last two decades and we saw a huge increase during the pandemic before returning closer to prepandemic levels and preliminary data for 2022. specialists tell us the biggest

problem is access to affordable high quality care during pregnancy and postpartum. this morning, alarmingly high maternal mortality rates. a new report showing a 40% spike in 2021 with more women dying during pregnancy or within a year after giving birth. >> the u.s. has one of the worst maternal mortality rates among industrialized wealthy countries. why do you think that is? >> we know that many women don't have access to the preventative and emergency care that they need during pregnancy and after pregnancy. and part of that is many women don't have the extended coverage that they need for postpartum care. >> and another new report looking at over 1,000 pregnancy-related deaths in 36 states from 2016 to 2019 finding that 84% were preventable. black women are three to four times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women. >> we see that there are long

standing structural issues and barriers that have prevented black women and women of color more broadly from getting the kind of care that they need. >> we're not aiming to just walk out alive as, you know, the goal here. that's the baseline. >> emily rodriguez is a founder of the birthing services in new york. >> i wish that when people became pregnant, their provider would say where would you like to give birth? you're a low risk person. so if you're high risk, i would say let's birth in the hospital. that's what i would like to see. and all the low risk people birth outside of the hospital or in the hospital with mid wives. >> experts say that anyone planning a birth outside of a hospital or birthing center should have certified mid wives attending and have access to a hospital if a medical emergency arises. rodriguez is dr. carla williams' dula. after having a negative birthing experience in the hospital, williams a practicing obstetrician hired a midwife and

dula and had a home birth with her second and third children. birth at home carries its own set of risks. >> i told by my doctor the clock was ticking and time to have a c-section if i didn't continue to dilate and if i didn't deliver soon. i asked for more time, you know, it's funny to say that, you know, to ask for permission. >> 2020 data across the u.s. shows about 1 in 5 to 1 in 3 women undergoing c-sections to give birth. and an epidural rate hovering near 80%. >> there's been concern about how high the caesarean section rates have been in this country. and we want to apply care where it's appropriate. and i think we have seen circumstances where sometimes women aren't offered the full set of options or aren't given the full information they need to help make the best decision for themselves. >> so after your two home births, how does that impact how you moved forward? >> as a provider yourself? >> the biggest thing i feel is just talking to the patients, really explaining things, giving

true informed consent and allowing them to be autonomous and focusing on the postpartum period and what's necessary to keep a mother healthy, you know, in that crucial time after birth. >> and recent c.d.c. data showing how crucial postpartum care is. finding half of maternal deaths happen one week to one year after giving birth. and while about 1 in 4 of those deaths were from hemorrhage or cardiac conditions, nearly the same amount, 1 in 4 were from mental health conditions with more than 80 deaths attributed to suicide by new moms. the surgeon general says postpartum depression is a major factor, mental health and social stressors like lack of resources returning to work too soon are important drivers of these mortality numbers that are just unfathomable. >> when you hear the doctor in your report saying that she would have -- would rather give birth outside of the hospital, that's really telling. >> she's a practicing o.b. but that is her experience. >> thank you for that. very important report today.
