♪ we've been taking care of business ♪ >> announcer: live in times square, this is good morning america. >> good morning america. so many of us dealing with the smoky haze. >> it is surreal, george. new york city topping the list of cities with the worst air quality in the world for a bit. you're looking live. that is philadelphia. that city and washington, d.c. dealing with it as we come on the air this morning. >> we have to think of our neighbors to the north in canada. they are dealing with this. yes, we have to put masks on here. but there, more than 11,000 people have been evacuated from parts of northern quebec. another 4,000 will be evacuated soon. now take a look at this map showing how widespread the smoke. we have team coverage for you beginning with trevor ault looking out on a hazy new york city skyline. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, robin. you know new york city sky line has been photographed from every

angle, but it never looked the way it's looked in the past 24 hours. we watched as it advanced from heavy fog to yesterday looking like we were on another planet. all while receiving those terrifying warnings from officials that the air we're breathing is dangerous. this morning the surreal images of major cities blanketed by wild fire smoke pouring in from the north. new york city turning into an orange distopia. the george washington bridge piercing through that ominous plume in this time lapse capturing the city skyline as it turns apocalyptic in just two hours, the orange haze swallowing sky scrapers from new york, philadelphia, dc. >> smelled like a burning tire. >> reporter: carolinas and ohio. smoke even seen from space. dangerous air quality alerts in effect for more than 100 million americans in at least 20 states. >> i have been coughing a lot. >> reporter: with new york city

registering the worst air quality in the world. >> this is what my view of manhattan looks like from jersey city on a normal sunny day compared to today. >> reporter: on the air quality index scaled from 1 to 500, where above 150 is considered unhealthy, mayor said new york city hit 484. shanghai china was around 125. >> staying indoors is key. it definitely reduces your exposure. keep windows closed. >> reporter: overnight professional baseball games in new york and philadelphia postponed along with a wnba game in brooklyn as toxins fill the air. experts say breathing it in for a day is comparable to smoking half a pack of cigarettes or more. >> the more exposure folks have, the more likely it is that they'll be sick. >> reporter: many people once again reaching for the masks they wore through the pandemic. >> people need to prepare for this over the long haul. >> reporter: it all stems from what's shaping up to be a record setting fire season in canada. more than 6 million acres burned

and more than 11,000 people now forced to evacuate from remote parts of quebec. thousands more expected in the coming days. in nova scotia, scorched debris littering the ground, and more than half of the country's hundreds of remaining fires are still out of control. of course, until those wild fires are contained, that smoke is going to keep pour south. we have heard from canadians. they say hundreds of american firefighters have arrived in canada to help battle the flames. even more are on the way. george? >> trevor, thanks. let's go to washington, d.c. rob marciano is there. you're going to have the worst of it later this morning. >> yeah, george. when we got here last night, the air felt and smelled relatively normal, at least relative to new york city. that's all changed this morning. that dense fog of smoke has made its way to our nation's capital. you can see the capitol shrouded in smoke. we are on the mall. on the other side, the monument standing at 550 feet tall. you can't see it any more. d.c. at its highest particle

matter count in 20 years. today likely to be worse. the schools are open. they're gonna cancel all outdoor play. if you have to be outdoors for any length of time, they're recommending if it's over 200, wear one of these masks. when we're covering the wild fires in the field, we are required to wear a respirator. it almost got to that yesterday in new york city. i think for the most part everybody will be with these covid era n-95 masks. just be ready. as we saw yesterday, things can change very quickly. have a plan to be safe. george? >> okay, rob. thank you very much. huge impact on air travel. gio benitez is tracking that. gio? >> reporter: good morning. you can see how smoky that runway is behind me. the past 24 hours have been tough on airports and airlines across the northeast. that will continue to be seen today. take a look at these incredible images. at one point yesterday there was a ground stop issued at la guardia airport. all air traffic into the new york area was slowed down

significantly. incoming flights were delayed by about an hour and a half. now this morning the faa is already warning that it may issue ground stops and delays in the new york area, philly and d.c. because of that low visibility from the smoke rob was just saying. if you plan to travel today or tomorrow get on that earliest flight possible to give yourself at the best chance of getting out. >> the exact question i texted you yesterday. gio, thank you for all your help. we want to turn now to ginger with how long this will last and the role climate change is playing. good morning, ginger. >> morning, rebecca. my crew and i are all masked. i have been measuring 300 to 350. i have covered wild fires all over the world and with a milky manhattan behind me and those milky sky, this is not something you want to be exposed to for hours without being protected. do that for yourself. let's talk about why it's happening and show you the setup. that low pressure system hanging out in nova scotia and new

england, it's pulling the smoke from quebec, from ontario, down into the northeast. it is squeezed between that high. we are going to see the smoke through the day. look where it moves. pittsburgh, washington. we're going to see this move out and by the weekend everybody starts to clear. by early next week certainly, too. the relationship to climate change. there are a couple of things. wild fires have drought and heat. nearly 10 million acres burned, 15 times the ten year average in canada. it's an early and huge season for them. on top of that we've had this blocking pattern and a lot of heat. look at this map of canada. they were the warmest on average on the globe in may. that helps when you're talking about making huge wild fires. guys? >> it does. all right, ginger. wish you and everybody in the field to stay safe. we're gonna bring in our chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton on the potential health impacts of the smoke. we heard in trevor's report about the stanford researchers that say continued exposure is

like smoking multiple cigarettes in a day. >> it's hard to quantify just how damaging it is because there's an individual basis involved here. but it has to do with the frequency, the level of exposure, the time you're outside and, yeah, the potential there in terms of the physiology, these tiny, tiny particles, 2.5 microns in diameter, can get much lower in your respiratory tract. enter the bloodstream. then of course you have potential impacts not just on the cardiovascular system and lung, but potentially the entire body. >> what are symptoms people should look out for? >> primarily respiratory. this is for anyone. this isn't just for people with asthma or under lying lung conditions. coughing, nose and eye irritations, sore and scratchy throat. i'm even feeling a little of that head. headache, shortness of breath. this can happen to anyone because of the levels of this exposure in the air. >> we can smell it indoors in our apartment.

i'm sure others can as well. what kind of precautions should people take inside? >> that's really interesting. again, the theory is if you can smell it, there is something there in the air. obviously, much much less than you would get outside. so the recommendations are, if you can, to stay inside. if you have air conditioning, put it on. the other things you should think about indoors. bathroom fans and stove fans typically draw outside air in. so those you want to keep off. if you don't have air conditioning and you're using isolated fans, put them all on because just circulating air when you talk to scientist, that will help as well. >> that's really something to keep in mind. thank you for sharing that. we keep hearing about the n-95. what if you don't have that mask? >> that's kind of the silver lining, if you will, from the pandemic. many people do. but if you don't, you do want to try to get a k-95 or n-95. we heard rob talk about these respirators. that's even better. the n-95's are the best that we can do in terms of filtering out these tiny particles.

something is better than nothing. >> yeah. >> and again, stay indoors if you can. >> all right, jen. we do appreciate it. coming up in our next hour, a pediatrician is answering your questions. i know you're very concerned about your kids in these conditions. you can tweet us at gma with the hash tag ask gma. george? >> we have a dramatic new development donald trump's handling of classified documents. justice department said he is the target of an investigation right now. let's get the latest from pierre thomas. >> reporter: george, good morning. it's a critical moment for former president trump as he faces perhaps his most serious legal threat ever. this morning, abc news learning that former president trump has recently received a target letter from special counsel jack smith, warning he has been the subject of an on going grand jury investigation into his possible mishandling of classified documents. the letter effectively puts don'ted a trump on notice that he faces a real prospect of indictment.

>> i was a federal prosecutor for many years. whenever i sent a target letter out, that meant i was planning to indict. >> reporter: prosecutors have been investigating whether trump illegally took classified documents from the white house and whether he obstructed the government's efforts to retrieve the material. in 2021, trump haggled with the national archives for month over whether he had returned all government records as required by law when he left office. he eventually faced a subpoena after returning some classified documents that were so sensitive that they alarmed the fbi. trump always maintaining he's done nothing wrong. >> if you're the president of the united states, you can declassify just by saying, it's declassified. even by thinking about it. >> reporter: critical moment in the investigation came when a trump attorney issued a statement saying all documents had been turned over. but the fbi subsequently learning that scores more were skill at mar a-lago. when they later searched the property in that dramatic raid, they found more than 100 new classified documents.

in recent weeks, prosecutors stepping up their efforts, interviewing scores of trump's closest allies including his former chief of staff, mark med meadows. on wednesday, trump spent part of the day on social media confronting his legal issues. he said he had not been told he had been indicted but did not indicate he had received the target letter. according to justice department policy, now that trump has been notified that he faces the potential of indictment, he is afforded the opportunity to make himself available for questioning and to offer additional evidence. but trump apparently has not given any indication that he plans to cooperate. so with that target letter sent days ago and with no response, prosecutors could seek an indictment any time now. george? >> everyone on notice. pierre, thank you very much. this news broke as trump's former vice president, mike pence, launched his presidential campaign in iowa. he condemned trump as unfit to serve. >> i believe that anyone who puts themselves over the constitution should never be president of the united states.

and anyone who asks someone else to put them over the constitution should never be president of the united states again. >> rachel scott is on the scene in des moines. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. that is the furthest t have heard mike pence go. the former vice president launched his campaign with his sharpest criticism yet of his old boss, donald trump. pence zeroing in on trump's actions on january 6th saying he was forced to choose between his loyalty to the former president and the constitution. he now says that trump is unfit to serve. pence is the first vice president in more than 80 years to challenge the president that he served under for the nomination. but he's still walking a very fine line. when asked about the investigations into donald trump, he says no one is above the law, but he also says that an indictment would further divide the country. now, trump is still the clear front runner. the rnc is now requiring that candidates make a pledge to

support the eventual nominee in order to get on the debate stage. pence said he will do that. but one candidate for former arkansas governor asa hutchison is calling on the party to reconsider that pledge, especially if the front runner is convicted of a crime, noting trump is the target of multiple investigations. >> okay, rachel. seems like so many candidates will be facing contradiction. saying on one hand donald trump is unfit to serve, but on the other hand they would support him if he is the nominee. we'll see how that plays out. robin? to the latest on pope francis recovering from an operation on his abdomen which a vatican official says was a success. marcus moore is at the vatican with the details for us. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the vatican press office said the pope's night was well after a three hour operation on his abdomen. the 86-year-old pontiff underwent surgery to remove intestinal scar tissue, as well

as repair a hernia on his abdominal wall. his doctor says that this type of recovery typically takes seven days, but as a precaution, meetings he's had, they've all been suspended to allow for a full recovery. his doctor did add though that the pope was already back at work from his hospital room there soon after the operation. and he was even joking with his surgeon. when we look at the days ahead, he does have his next foreign trip scheduled for august where he's expected to travel to portugal and mongolia. robin, as you know, the focus is on his recovery. >> great sign that he was joking with the surgeon. rebecca? turning to the nba finals. denver is back in control. nuggets taking game 3 from the heat in miami. will reeve was there for all the action. will, i think the real super star of yesterday was anthony, our little mascot friend. nice to see you again. >> good to see you, rebecca. he certainly was. we'll have more on anthony in a bit. last night on this court, we witnessed history.

nikola jokic, jamal murray said we're running out of things to say. he makes it look easy. let's not forget about murray. murray also had a triple double, making him and jokic the first pair of teammates to have a triple double in the same finals game. one that was tight for first half but ultimately the nuggets blew it wide open in the second half. they went on to win 109-94. heat stars jimmy butler had 28 points. he said that his team didn't have enough energy, but that is correctible in game 4. which is here tomorrow night, the heat need to win to tie it up. otherwise everybody is heading back to denver with the nuggets up 3-1. that's an almost insurmountable lead. the nuggets would have a chance to win the title for the first time in franchise history on their home floor. the heat are looking to stop that by winning. you can watch that on abc at 8:30 p.m. eastern, guys.

>> all right. thank you very much, will reeve. we'll be watching. coming up here, jordan van der sloot being extradited to the u.s. this morning. the latest as he faces fraud and extortion charges. the husband of the woman killed in a parasailing accident. the boat operator cut the tow line when the winds picked up. what he wants you to know. first back to ginger. >> let's get your local weather in just 30 seconds. drew: air quality today, a bit warmer

drawn after the 2020 census, those maps drawn by the state's republican legislature were challenged as being racially biased against black voters in that state, which make up about 27% of the electorate. only one of the seven districts in alabama is majority black. lower courts had said the state needs to add another district. and today the supreme court, in a 5 to 4 decision often written by chief justice john roberts, joined by brett kavanaugh and the three liberal justices, said , in fact, that alabama's map was discriminatory, that it violated section two of the voting rights act, that landmark law passed after the civil rights movement to prevent against discrimination in voting . they said the lower courts properly applied the precedent and that that map needs to be redrawn to account for black voters. diane. asha i'm short on time, but talk us through the constitutional issue here. yes. so this is a section two of the voting rights act as well as claims under the equal protection clause of the 14th

amendment. and diane, what the court did was uphold basically 40 years of precedent on applying section two of the voting rights act and saying that the district court got it right. the real story here is that they stayed the lower court opinion until now, which actually allowed this map to go into effect for the 2022 elections. so you know, the discriminatory map has already had effect. terry what's the big picture impact here? it's huge, diane. this resuscitates the voting rights act, which was almost considered a dead letter after the supreme court gutted it back in 2013. and the shelby county case. what this does is put the action in the drawing of those congressional districts. this case finds that alabama diluted the power of black voters in alabama by packing them into a district when it could be shown very easily that there could be another majority minority district fairly drawn in alabama. and the court held

that the law requires that to be done if in fact, it can be done fairly. and so this is a huge win for the voting rights act. and it means that from now on, all the arguments about >> caller:guments about account not what happens to minority voters. that is the command of the supreme court and the voting rights act . all right, terry moran, devin dwyer, asha rangappa, thank you. and thank you for joining us. i'm diane macedo. our coverage will continue on our streaming channel, abc news live. and all day long on abcnews.com. we'll have a complete wrap up tonight on world news tonight with david muir. right now, we will return you to your regular programing >> jordan van der slooograming his way from peru. jordan van sloot prime suspect in the disappearance of 18-year-old natalie holloway now

handed over to american authorities just hours after touching down in peru, the federal agents arriving at a military base to secure the dutch national before escorting him to alabama where he will face extortion and wire fraud charges. the peruvian government agreed to extradite van der sloot from this maximum security prison where he's serving a 28 year sentence for the 2010 murder of a different woman, stephanie flores. this video showing him leaving the prison, transported to lima, where u.s. authorities will arrived to get him around 8 a.m. eastern, 7 a.m. local time. >> the key is he will be here for a period of time. i'm sure ideally investigators are going to want to talk to him about natalie holloway. >> reporter: in 2005, holloway was on a high school graduation trip in aruba. she was last seen driving off in a car with a group of young men including then 17-year-old van der sloot after what was described as a night of drinking.

though arrested multiple times, van der sloot was released for lack of evidence. >> last time i saw her she was sitting on the sand by the ocean. >> reporter: but the teen never found. in 2012 an alabama judge declared her legally dead. while van der sloot was never charged with her murder, federal prosecutors say he tried to extort holloway's mother beth demanding quarter million dollars in exchange for information that would lead to the teen's body. he left aruba for peru within days of failing to deliver on the promise. >> the biggest advantage i see in having him here in reference to natalie holloway is if they can convince him to tell the truth of what actually happened to her. >> reporter: he won't spend much time in the u.s. he'll be returned to finish his sentence there.

if convicted in the u.s., he would come back here in 2038 to begin serving that sentence. george? >> thanks. so an abc news exclusive with the husband speaking for the first time since his wife was killed while parasailing in florida. he's sharing his warning for other families as they plan summer vacations. gio benitez spoke with him and is back with that. good morning again, gio. >> reporter: robin, good morning again. this is a man still very much in pain. but he decided now is the time to sit down with us for an interview, just as the summer travel season kicks off, hoping to save another family from heartbreak. this morning a devastated husband speaking out for the first time since losing his wife a year ago. >> have fun! >> reporter: the family was out on the florida keys enjoying a parasailing excursion they found online when the weather quickly deteriorated and their adventure took a tragic turn. your wife, your son, your nephew, they get into the parasail and they take off.

what happens next? >> the captain started looking concerned. his actions were terrified. i was also scared. >> reporter: the parasail caught in wind gusts up to 30 miles an hour, pulling the boat off course. when the boat's crew could not reel in the parasail, the captain made the decision to cut it loose. what were you thinking when you saw him cut the rope? >> what in the world he was doing. it was concerning for all of us. i didn't exactly see when he cut the rope. it was like a terrifying moment. >> reporter: the three passengers plummeted. the parasail dragging them for miles before hitting a bridge. >> he is holding the captain's leg, begging him to go out there and save him. and he goes ahead and tells them

don't worry, the bridge will help. that's where the parasail hit. >> he said to use the bridge to help? >> yes. >> reporter: his wife was killed, their 10-year-old son and 7-year-old nephew badly injured. in september, the boat's captain was charged with manslaughter and multiple boating violations. he's pleaded not guilty. he filed a lawsuit against him, his colleague, the marina, the boat company alleging they did not check weather reports that should have prevented them from sailing, failed to provide enough safety equipment, including life jackets on board, and didn't properly bring down the parasail after losing control of it. >> there's so many opportunities for them to stop this from happening, yet there's failure after failure after failure. >> reporter: abc news reached out to the defendants but did not hear back. while parasailing incidents like this are rare, any equipment

how to have a career, how to have a love life, how to start a family. just how to live as a person. >> what do you want people to take away from this book? who is it for? >> i want people to take away whatever they're coming to and looking for. i think something that's really important to the book is definitely the idea that we are -- there's parts of us that are unknowable to ourselves, to our closest loved ones. that can be a comforting thing. >> it must be so gratifying to usher new voices into the world. >> it is. it's exciting especially when the voice is not one that you've seen produced on a page. the story feels very personal. this is a family story, many family stories. elysha has found a way to

illustrate and describe it that feels little and deeply personal in a way but is very relatable even as you come to know people that you might never meet in your life. she describes a country and immigrant life new here in this country. and you feel the smells and the sounds of a village very far away. you also feel an arrival in a town in new jersey that's surrounded by industry and people that are different and an attempt at assilation and what that does to the next generation and how it shapes them and informs them. it's thrilling. it's also thrilling to see the praise that the book has received, the well-deserved praise. the enthusiasm is not mine alone. it is every person who has had this book in their hands has felt the same excitement, the same emotional experience. it's enormously gratifying to say, here's elysha chang and

here's her very special debut. >> you launched this. do you have another book in you?

play leading ladies and characters that are interesting and flawed and layered. i'm just grateful she made a space for me, for lexi, many more women to come. >> such a great thing, to create it for yourself and then also pass the baton. let's take a look at the clip. >> you need to get a lawyer. >> i'm sure he'll sort it all out. >> sheriff meyer isn't your friend. he's a cop. >> you seem to know a lot about dealing with the law. just get a lawyer. okay? really, really good one. >> get a lawyer. that's always good advice. giving me chills here. i understand, and you can see it here on set, you guys became great friends throughout the production of all of this. you did sleepovers? >> oh, yeah. >> absolutely. >> she lived five minutes from me when we were filming in vancouver. she had her own room. >> there would be times where we

would be up until 5 a.m. and then go grab breakfast at 6. then be at our place throughout the rest of the day. >> even now we have cast group chat. we hang out. we're all in l.a. mostly. it's amazing. i'm so grateful to have had lexi through this experience. having a partner in crime through this has been helpful. >> you can feel the chemistry on set, you can see it on screen. congratulations to both of you. you're excellent, and i'm sure we'll be talking to you again in the not too distant future, because you have bright futures ahead. new episodes of "cruel summer" air on freeform and the next day on hulu. now back to ginger in new jersey. how's it looking, ging? >> we've improved a little on the aqi. still unhealthy. especially for prolonged periods. new jersey, new york, maryland, all the way back to michigan with problems. our hearts are with the folks next to the fires, the ones losing their homes, the ones losing their home, the ones evacuated from their homes. this has been such a huge and early, especially early wild

fire season in canada. 15 times ten year average already. a lot of those early fires were in alberta in a forest that burns regularly. then the later ones were nova scotia, quebec. when it comes to the climate connection, there's heat and fires for sure. that's the bigger picture. let's get a look closer drew: here with forecast, partly cloudy skies, good air quality, warmer than yesterday, warmer spots in the upper 70's. the weekend, looking nice. we are turning now to the ultimate experience for country music fan, cma fest in nashville. thousands of people are gathered there for performances and fun. and gma contributor jess sims is getting ready to go. good morning, jess. nice to see you. >> nice to be seen. thank you for the reminder. i have not packed a thing.

chance to meet with the god father of latino marketing. he didn't start that way. in the meeting he was telling me how he started as a janitor working for this plant and frito lay. the job, the factory was losing jobs. so he wanted to save the factory. he said, if there was a spicy product that i could market to my community, he said i believe we would be able to save jobs. he called the ceo. the ceo gave him the chance to do it. what we now know is flaming hot came to be. the success of flaming hot propelled him from being the janitor to becoming one of the top executives in the company. after he told me his story, i said, i have got to make this into a movie. i didn't even know how i was going to do it at the time. i was so motivated and inspired, how he started as a janitor but thought about how he could help the company. >> there are some folks that have seen the movie and have heard his story and are going, i don't know. little bit of artistic license here?

>> those that may say that haven't seen the movie yet. the movie, i believe, sets the record straight. lot of controversy that came out, we were already aware of that. this movie is really richard's story. we all incorporated what we know about how this came to be. when people see the movie, it is going to show how all of these things work together. when you see this film, richard is a true american hero. i know hollywood loves super heroes and that's fine. you can't put on a suit of iron. but you can be like richard, having a heart for service and wanting to make a difference in your community and succeed. >> i can see how passionate you are. >> it's my movie. i have been working on this for seven years. >> eva longoria making her directial debut. how did you pull that off? >> i said okay. i met with her. in that first meeting, i believe whenever i do a film, the director is gonna show up if i

commit. when eva came in, she came in with her script. every page was dog eared. she communicated her vision. here's how i want to make this more authentic. what was interesting is she had never done a movie. i called the studio. i said, we found our director, eva longoria. they were like, has she done a movie? no. they're like, well, we aren't sure. i said just because she hasn't done a movie does not mean she's not a director. too often, people of color, we get dinged for not having an opportunity. if we were given the opportunity, it would reveal what we already are. eva came in as director. she did a brilliant presentation. they said, devon, you're right. she's the director. when you see this film, this is a brilliant testimony to her vision as a filmmaker. >> that's why you love having your company, to provide these opportunities, tell these stories? >> absolutely. this is why i came to hollywood. middle child of three boys. my father died when i was 9 years old. it was going to church and watching entertainment that was my therapy.

i said if hollywood can impact me, i want to go to hollywood to make movies that can uplift and inspire people. being able to produce flaming hot is my business plan. i believe people want hope. i think audiences want inspiration. i believe movie likes this can provide it. >> final question. do you eat flaming hots? >> i do. do you eat flaming hots? come on, robin. come on. what you got? >> not on tv. >> what you got?
