massive military leak is set to go before a judge later this morning. >> first settlement in the defamation case against fox news. the ceo of dominion systems john poulos is standing by. the $787 million deal came down as opening statements were set to begin. aaron katersky is outside headquarters. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. the jury was sworn, opening statements were about to begin, when the judge announced the parties settled the case. fox news is paying dominion $787 million to settle a two year legal dispute over amplifying 2020 election fraud allegations it knew to be false. >> the truth matters. lives have consequences. >> reporter: fox admitted no guilt, but said in a statement the judge knowledged the court's ruling finding certain claims to be false. does fox news have to apologize?
7:04 am
>> fox news did apologize. we got them to be accountable. we got them to pay us a historic settlement amount. >> reporter: $787 million is short of the $1.6 billion dominion was seeking after watching fox news hosts and guests repeatedly give voice to false claims. host laura ingraham and others won't have to testify about exchanges like this. >> disturbing irregularities have been found. >> reporter: off the air, she said trump's attorney sydney powell, who was pressing the false claims, is a bit nuts. sorry, but she is. >> sydney, we talked about the dominion software. i know there were voting irregularities. tell me about that. >> that's to put it mildly. >> reporter: when off air in one e-mail, bartoromo said the evidence powell provided was kooky and nonsense. tucker carlson said this -- >> we've heard about the security of our electronic voting machines. this is a real issue. >> reporter: in a text message
7:05 am
carlson called claims about dominion shockingly reckless. the judge had already decided what fox news aired was false and damaging. the question was whether fox recklessly disregarded the truth, a high bar, but one the settlement suggests fox thought dominion could meet. dominion said we're not done. the company has separate lawsuits against former president trump's allies sydney powell, rudy giuliani and others. fox is facing a lawsuit from a different voting company. smartmatic said in a statement it remains committed to holding fox accountable for undermining american democracy. george, that lawsuit seeks $2.7 billion. george? >> aaron, thanks very much. joined by the ceo of dominion voting systems, john poulos. lot of experts are surprised it took so long for the settlement to come about. what were the final sticking points? >> we weren't ready to settle until all of the facts that we
7:06 am
had discovered ham come to light in the public. that was something we had committed to from the beginning. we had complete support with our partners and something we owed to our customers. >> were you surprised that fox took so long? >> personally, no, i wasn't surprised. >> why not? >> the fact is they published falsehoods about us. it wasn't just once or twice. it wasn't just on one day or two days. it was 20 statements made over 2 1/2 months. this was not the case of a media company pursuing the truth and making a mistake. they knew. >> $787.5 million. one of the biggest defamation settlements ever. but what you didn't get was an apology. >> there was an acknowledgement and certainly it's not the way i wrote it. i had some conversations with
7:07 am
our team, my co-founder and i. at the end of the day, the court system really is about accountability. we feel we got it. a and all of the facts that we discovered during the case had come to light. >> they just acknowledged the judge said they were falsehoods. they didn't admit to falsehoods or apologize. is that enough? >> well, if you look at the document, i think they speak for themselves. they did acknowledge. they did not argue falsity. the motion for summary judgment was extremely clear. in fact, actually used the language crystal clear. >> what is this like for a company like yours when you go through a long lawsuit like this. you're under an awful lot of scrutiny. >> it's devastating. this was not about our employees being harassed.
7:08 am
it persists to this day. all of our partners that have chosen to work with us have been affected. our customers have been harassed and targeted for no other reason than their relationship with us. it's just been devastating. if we could have our company back and undo it, we would do it in a second. >> any reason that that will not continue? that fox will change the way they do business in any way, shape or form. $787.5 million is an awful lot of money. it's just a fraction of what they earn every year. >> for us it was never really about fox per se. it was about telling the truth and the media telling the truth. i think that what was important for us is for people to be held account for when they recklessly and knowingly tell lies that have such devastating consequences. >> do you think they'll stop doing that? >> i hope so. i think it's a big step forward in democracy if we can, if our
7:09 am
system can send a signal that if media companies lie, who ever they are, on whatever channel it is, and they do so knowingly, they will be prepared to pay a very, very high price. >> you are pursuing other lawsuits. donald trump, rudy giuliani. what does that mean? >> we have six lawsuits. donald trump is not one of them. it's the same. we've been committed from the start for accountability. we will pursue all of them. >> john poulos, thank you very much. now to the deadly parking garage collapse in new york city that killed one person, injured five others. you're looking live at the aftermath. trevor ault is on the scene and has the latest for us. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the view from up above of the after math is just staggering. we've learned everyone who was hurt here, including one person killed, was an employee of this parking garage. first responders had to get them
7:10 am
out extremely quickly for fears the rest of the structure was going to collapse. that is still a concern this morning. this morning authorities are investigating what caused this deadly four story parking garage collapse in lower manhattan which killed one person and injured five more. >> sounded like a bomb going off. like a little explosion. >> reporter: late tuesday afternoon, multiple floors, pancaking on top of each other, blocks from wall street. >> smoke, cars were sinking. looked like a movie. >> reporter: cement tumbling from the top floors. cars piling up on the floors below. this car flipped vertically at the exit. first responders rushing to the scene, taking several people on stretchers. the structure was still unstable. >> the building was continuing to collapse. we made the decision to remove all our people. >> reporter: search and rescue teams had to deploy a drone and this robot dog that safely scanned for others inside.
7:11 am
officials evacuated nearby buildings, including two owned by pace university right next door. records show the parking garage ha 64 violations since 1976. 2003 the building was cited as hazardous after inspectors found cracks in the concrete. structure is nearly a century old, due for another inspection this year. >> it seemed like a safe building, but clearly it wasn't. >> reporter: and city officials say several of those violation were still active. one official did say there were plans filed by the owner of this parking garage in 2010 to fix that cracked concrete but so far we have not found any documentation with the city that shows that problem was actually fixed. eva? >> trevor ault for us there. now to the 21-year-old air national guards man suspected in the military document leak. whit johnson is there in boston. good morning, whit. >> reporter: eva, good morning.
7:12 am
we're just getting word the federal judge overseeing jack teixeira's case granted a request from the defense to delay this court hearing another two weeks. defense saying they needed more time to address the arguments from prosecutors as to why teixeira should remain in federal custody. the former massachusetts air national guards man has not entered a plea. he's accused of posting top secret documents on discord, a site popular with young gaugers. in an interview with abc news, one member of that discord group described teixeira as holding libertarian views, and that he was admired by several other users on the platform. the administration has tried to downplay how harmful these leaks have been for the united states's reputation around the world. law enforcement is kicking efforts into high gear to stop the spread of this information. when the detention hearing does take place, we could also learn whether the case moves from here in massachusetts to the state of
7:13 am
virginia. that's where a lot of leaked material originated from at the pentagon. teixeira faces 15 years in prison if convicted of violating the espionage act. robin? >> all right, whit. appreciate your reporting. now to the deadly violence in sudan and its ripple effect in the region, affecting critical aid that is meant for millions facing hunger. david muir was in south sudan when the deadly violence broke out. he's here with the first look at his report. i can only imagine what you witnessed firsthand. >> very dire. as you all know, this is a region that knows war. but we were on the ground to report on a very different battle. they're in a real fight there against climate change. we were in south sudan. more than 1 million people, families and children, in dire need right now. this morning, our first look. we land in south sudan, where we are told there is an urgent effort to get to more than 1
7:14 am
million people in desperate need due to the climate. the u.n. trucks waiting as we head out with the world food program, traveling down the only road in, carrying aid to sudan. mud walls holding the water back. and then the only way to get to so many of the families here, by boat. climate change making the extremes here more extreme. four years in a row of historic floods with waters unable to recede. this is a very common sight here after four years of relentless rain. this is a tiny piece of land completely surrounded by the waters, islands in and of themselves. these are the families who have stayed behind to continue to raise their children here. and what do they feed the children here with no land to farm anymore? we are told water lilys. a mother in the distance. the haunting sound, the coughing, the determined work in stagnant, dangerous flood water.
7:15 am
reaching down to pull out the water lilys and their bulbs. it is what they do for their children. mothers are feeding their children water lilys. >> unfortunately, they are. it is a coping mechanism because they do not have enough food. >> how do they get any food when they're completely surrounded by water? >> that is the biggest challenge they are facing here, the ability of food. before they had land where they could cultivate food. but now they are completely cut off. >> families cut off, with no livestock. this used to be farmland before the flood. livestock. it's impossible to know how much has been lost. you can see there's nothing but skin and bones, these cows here. and when there is no food, there is sickness. we learn of the children on the edge of starvation at the hospital. children here who need help and a young mother, her baby just 40 days old, weighing less than 40 pounds. you must be relieved that your
7:16 am
baby is doing much better. >> she is saying yes. >> yes, she says. her newborn son and his tiny wrists a sign of hope. >> that baby's strengthingen grip proved that nutritional aid can make a difference. fighting in sudan to the north showing no signs of stopping. the world food program telling us that critical route from sudan remains halted. we witnessed the last convoy to arrive. 7,000 tons of aid stuck in a war zone. this is really critical. tonight we'll show everyone at home how you can make a difference as simple as that. >> could not have been easy getting there. >> in fact, when we were trying to get out, what was taking place in sudan, which continues this morning. they had to fly to ethiopia, back to dubai and back to new york city. the airlines didn't want to fly over the region. just incredible. >> this is something i can see it in your eyes, it's very
7:17 am
important to you. >> it's overwhelming in this day and age. they have a tool here. abc news.com, right on our home page, how you can really make a difference. look at that baby at risk, 40 days old. they could see in three days that baby growing stronger already. >> there's so many stories to report. it's not either/or, it's and. all right, david. see you tonight. >> thanks you so much. >> appreciate you being here. >> coming up, we have the latest on the recovery of 16-year-old ralph yarl after he was shot going to the wrong address. >> buffalo bills' damar hamlin talking about the moment he knew he didn't want to be done with football. his two doctors are here this morning. >> plus what netflix is saying about cracking down on password sharing. first ginger. >> we've had a few days of a lull as far as severe thor with goes. houston, lightning across the sky. we've got a new front we're watching. this one will impact parts of

his return to football. we are all rooting for them. >> thank you, janai. we're joined by the co-captains of his care, trauma surgeon tim pritts and bill knight. dr. knight, let me begin with you. can you explain what commotio cordis is? >> commotio cordis is a blunt trauma to the front of the chest which causes an interruption of the heart cycle which is driven by electrical signals. when that signal gets interrupted it can stop beating and require cpr and electricity to get started. that's what happened in this case. immediate bystander cpr and the electricity to get the heart started again, to get that blood flowing again. it's a blunt trauma to the front of the chest and the heart. >> and so hard to survive. >> it is when you don't have the
7:43 am
medical teams or -- not even medical teams, but people right there with you and ready to respond. and so as, hopefully, the push with what damar has done with this chapter in his life, getting that immediate bystander cpr. getting people trained to do that. without that immediate bystander cpr, it's deadly and people die. it's the number one cause of death in young athletes. >> dr. pritts, take us through the first few moments of treatment and what happened in the er. >> his initial treatment was really on the field. he had immediate bystander cpr from a highly talented team. he was then transported to the university of cincinnati medical center, where he was evaluated as a patient who had traumatic injuries. it's an intense situation. one of our teammates describes it as a car coming into the pits at the indy 500. there's about 20 people involved. everybody has a role. everybody is there to look out for the patient's best interest and help them recover. >> is 3 1/2 months too early to
7:44 am
be playing football again? >> i think that is -- it's interesting. i credit to the bills amazing medical team. is it too early? that's hard to tell. when athletes are cleared to return from injury, a lot of that has gone into specifics of that injury to determine when they're ready and when they're safe. when you speak to the potential of this particular injury, a lot of it is his physical fitness, his general health. it speaks to the injury itself that the heart and his body recovered and that he is ready and safe an cleared by his medical professionals to get out there and start working out again. it's awesome that he's at that point that he can be cleared to begin the next stage of his journey. >> dr. pritts, i can't imagine how gratifying it is for you and your whole team to see him back on the field. >> it's amazing. please note bill and i speak on behalf of the more than 150 people who were directly involved in his care.
