hazy skies into the u.s. alex perez is in chicago. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. millions of people in cities across the great lakes are waking up to find the sky filled with that canadian wild fire smoke. it's been especially bad in the minneapolis area. at its peak the air quality there yesterday was the worst on record since 1980, registering 243 on the air quality index. that falls under the very unhealthy level. now, this morning five states are currently under alerts for unhealthy air quality. this all comes one week after this incredible haze that blanketed new york city, west to detroit and down to washington, d.c. and beyond. some of those spots hitting 400 on the air quality index. we have not seen numbers that high or that bad this time around. but with those canadian wild fires still raging, many are bracing for more smoke down the

line. george? >> alex, thank you very much. we're going to washington now. secretary of state blinken heads to china tomorrow expected to meet with top officials as high tensions between china and the u.s. are causing issues. mary bruce has the story. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. yeah, the administration is hoping that this trip will help ease those rising tensions. this relationship is complicated. this visit is now a critical test. >> good morning, everyone. >> reporter: this morning secretary of state blinken is preparing for a high stakes visit to china. the first u.s. cabinet official to visit beijing in four years. blinken departs friday and is expected to meet with top chinese officials, possibly even president xi. he had planned to visit earlier this year but those plans were scrapped when that chinese sky balloon crossed into the u.s. it's just one in a string of recent provocations by beijing. last month the chinese fighter jet flew aggressively close to a u.s. spy plane, sending the u.s. pilots bouncing in its wake.

and earlier this month, what u.s. officials called an unsafe maneuver by a chinese warship, crossing in front of the u.s. destroyer in the taiwan strait. despite all this, the secretary going ahead with his visit to beijing. so why now? a top state department official saying both sides, through many conversations in recent weeks, have come to the shared conclusion that now is the right time to engage at this level. but the chinese are making it clear they blame the u.s. for the current low in relations. blinken's agenda for the trip includes preventing chinese support for russia's war in ukraine, ensuring fair trade and halting china's u.s. technology and stopping the flow of fentanyl. is it the president's hope that these meetings pave the way for an in person way for the president and president xi? >> we view this as an important part of our diplomacy. they are going to be a major player for a long time. we want to continue to have those open line of conversations. >> reporter: now, president

biden and president xi haven't talked since they last met in november, a meeting that was supposed to reopen lines of communication and reset relations. those hopes, of course, were then thrown off track. if blinken's visit goes well, george, the two could meet face to face this coming november at a global summit in san francisco. george? we turn now to the federal reserve decision to pause interest rate hikes. elizabeth schulze is in washington with what it means and what comes next. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning, george. this was the first time in 15 months that the federal reserve chose not to raise interest rates, but for consumers or businesses looking to take out a loan, the fed is signaling that you are not out of the woods quite yet. as part of its aggressive fight against inflation, the fed has increased borrowing costs ten times in a row since last march, bringing its key interest rate from 0 to 5%. that made it a lot more expensive to take out a home or car loan or to pay off your credit card debt. now the fed is taking a pause to assess how those higher rates are rippling through the economy. but this pause could be short lived.

the fed pencilled in two more rate increases this year. one could come as soon as next month. the bad news is if you're on the market for a new home, it will likely be awhile before mortgage rates come down. today's rates for a fixed $400,000 mortgage you're paying about $400 more than at this time last year. but the good news is that these higher interest rates benefit american saver. financial sad visors say consider saving your money into high yield accounts where you can get up to 5% back on your money in the bank. michael? >> thank you for that information. really appreciate it. we're going to turn to the i 95 collapse in philadelphia and the race to rebuild. officials are announcing plans for a temporary solution. they say it could be up and running in a matter of weeks. transportation correspondent gio benitez is on the scene in philadelphia with the latest. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, michael. good morning. yeah, that work is under way right now. you can see those cranes behind me moving pieces out.

they're going to be demolishing this today and then they hope to reopen it within weeks. now, the pennsylvania department of transportation will then build a temporary road on top of back fill, essentially patching the gap using recycled glass aggregate. they will build a permanent bridge later on. all of it will be shown on a live screen for the public. we all saw the videos of the accident on sunday. a truck bursting into flames causing that bridge to collapse, sadly killing the driver of that truck and shutting down a portion of that busy i-95 interstate. we still don't know what caused the crash. there are other highways to use here. it's going to take longer for truck drivers to transport goods. in fact, secretary of transportation pete buttigieg warned that may drive up shipping costs along the east coast. so the pressure is son to get this over. rebecca. >> you can really see the ripple effect there. gio benitez, thank you. we turn to the ex-marine accused of choking a man to death on the new york city subway. a grand jury has indicted daniel

penny. stephanie ramos joins us with the latest. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: rebecca, good morning. the marine veteran daniel penny and that homeless man jordan neely were on the subway at this station stop when witnesses say neely began engaging in aggressive speech. penny said that's when he had to intervene. now he faces an indictment of manslaughter charges. this morning law enforcement sources tell abc news a manhattan grand jury has indicted daniel penny, a marine veteran accused of placing a homeless man, jordan neely, in a deadly choke hold on a subway. while penny initially faced manslaughter charges, the specifics of the indictment won't be unsealed until he appears in court at a later date. video from may 1st shows penny restraining neely with a choke hold on the subway floor until neely stopped moving. the chief medical examiner's office ruling the death a homicide.

neely had a documented history of mental illness. witnesses told police he had been threatening and harassing passengers. though penny was not specifically targeted. neely's family responding to the indictment through their attorney saying daniel penny's indictment is the right result for the wrong he committed. we will continue to fight on behalf of jordan as this process moves forward. penny's attorneys also releasing a statement saying they are confident that when a trial jury is tasked with weighing the evidence, they will find daniel penny's actions on that train were fully justified. this after penny's lawyers released a video earlier this week in which the 24-year-old disputes the extent to which he restrained neely. >> some people say i was holding on to mr. neely for 15 minutes. this is not true. between stops is only a couple of minutes. so the whole interaction was less than five minutes. >> reporter: attorneys for daniel penny insist that there's no way he could have foreseen

that his attempt to subdue a perceived threat could have turned deadly. michael? >> all right. thank you very much, stephanie. we're gonna turn to the two americans found dead at a luxury resort in mexico. the cause is under investigation. victor oquendo joins us with the latest. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this happened in a small town in baja. that's about an hour north of cabo san lucas. two americans found dead in their luxury hotel room. the suspected cause, gas inhalation. paramedics received a report that two americans were unconscious in their room and when they arrived they found them deceased. 22-year-old abby lutz and john heathgo in the shower, both deceased. there have been several cases of deaths in mexico due to carbon monoxide poisoning or other gases. in october in mexico city, three u.s. citizens found dead at a rented apartment, also apparently victims of gas inhalation. in 2018 a gas leak in a water

heater caused the deaths of an american couple and their two children in the resort town of talum. an inspection later revealed that the water heater at the rented condominium was leaking gas. in this latest case, local authorities are in charge of the investigation. u.s. officials say they are aware but can't comment at this time. george? going to turn to the first major golf tournament since the pga announced plans to merge with liv golf. some lawmakers are asking tough questions about the deal. faith abubey has the story. good morning, faith. >> reporter: good morning, george. not just lawmakers asking serious questions about the shocking merger agreement. many of the players taking the green this morning are still unclear, they're still in the dark about what this means for them moving forward. this morning golfers teeing off at the exclusive los angeles country club. featuring 156 players from phil mickelson to part time uber

driver barry henson. >> the u.s. open is about every man getting a chance. if you play well enough, you are on the driving range right next to phil mickelson or right next to brooks koepka or rory or, in other years, tiger woods. >> reporter: it's the first major tournament since the truce in the golf war between the pga and the saudi backed liv golf. the two in a stunning announcement last week agreeing to bury the hatchet. >> this ultimately is a decision that i think is in the best interest of all of the members of the pga tour. >> reporter: but the new collectively owned for profit entity is not a done deal. the pga under doj investigation after it suspended players who defected to liv golf early on. >> it's hard for me to not sit up here and feel somewhat like a sacrificial lamb. >> reporter: saudi investors planning to compensate pga players like rory mcilroy and others who remain loyal to the pga.

others are in the dark. >> what's going to happen? i don't know. >> reporter: and the pga says that of course a lot of players will be on the green this morning, but the question this morning is what happens after the merger agreement? the pga says it's confident that once congress learns more about this new venture, it will understand more the benefits to the players and the golfing community as a whole. in the mean time, as the u.s. open kicks off on the green here this morning at the los angeles country club, many of the players are excited about this and, of course, jay monahan, the tour commissioner, is still missing in action. the tour said he is recuperating >> okay, faith. thank you very much. coming up the starbucks lawsuit. a former employee who said she was fired for being white awarded more than $25 million. and the high school football player who took his own life. his father says an instagram sextortion scheme is responsible. his warning to parents.

we know many people are getting several of these illegal robo calls every single day. you have to remember this is not just a nuisance. this is an attempt to steal your money. we know these thieves are getting a lot smarter. >> hi this is ethan calling from medicare rewards. can you hear me okay? >> reporter: the biggest and arguably most annoying scam in the buckeye state. illegal robo calls. the state attorney general sharing examples like this one. >> hello, this is aupb tkreu. i am a social security disability adviser on a record line. you can press 1 to be removed now. >> some of them are people claiming to be from the irs or law enforcement. we got a warrant for your arrest, mrs. smith, but we can take care of it over the phone if you have a credit card. >> reporter: according to the ohio ag's office, residents in the state were bombarded with a whopping 2.2 billion illegal robo calls in 2019. and 2022, the federal trade commission listed ohio as the number two state in the nation with the most reported complaints.

>> they all have this in common. they're abusing a source of trust to try to get money out of you by pretending to be somebody they are not. >> reporter: peter lives right outside of cleveland. he said he's been a magnet for pesky robo calls. he tells us over the past decade, he's reported more than 300 of them to the ohio attorney general. but was shocked last year when he got a roared voice mail from a number appearing to be from the cleveland clinic just days after having a surgical procedure there. >> cleveland clinic for peter masitis. we called to check in about some health content. >> looked like they were trying to set up my surgery or something. but the surgery was already scheduled. they were baiting me as far as this phone call from the cleveland clinic. it wasn't from the cleveland clinic. >> reporter: the cleveland clinic tells abc news, we are aware some patients may be

receiving phoney robo calls claiming to follow up after a recent medical procedure or appointment. if patients have concerns about an incoming call they may receive, they can contact their physicians office or cleveland clinic customer service number. >> it's an anxiety to have to deal with these individuals. >> reporter: so by now we know the best practice with these calls is to not answer them or to hang up. we have further tips from the fcc. if you find yourself on a call and it says press a button to no longer receive calls, don't press the button. just hang up. they might take you pressing a button as a sign that you are willing to engage with them. the agency is also encouraging everybody to sign up for the do not call list. it is very easy to do on the ftc website, ftc.gov. we got a tip from one of the sharks. he was on gma a bit ago. he said if you're on one of these calls, if you answer a number you don't know, it's a good practice to not say hello. answer it and then just sit in silence.

lot of times your voice will trigger that recording. if you don't say anything, it could throw off the system. the best method would be what i call the millennial method which is to never answer any phone call from anyone for any reason. [ laughter ] >> even if you know the person, george? that's why you never answer my calls. you're screening me. message received. great advice there, trevor. thank you very much. we appreciate that. coming up we're going to go inside shannen doherty's cancer battle. the emotional message she is sharing. and we have our play of the day. we'll be right back. . ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

mr. mayor, good morning to you. >> good morning, george. it's wonderful to be with you. and good morning america. >> why are you running for president? >> i'm running for president because i think i have a different message than what other candidates have. i'm generational. not generational as a buzz word, but someone who has implemented great change. i'm someone who was president of the u.s. conference of mayors so i know the problem of americans who live in cities and 91% who constitute the gdp of this country are going through. things like increasing crime, homelessness, mental health issues. i'm someone who has a positive track record of success and has a positive vision for the future. i think what i noticed in the last 24 hours, just an outpouring of support because people want someone who can unify them. i was elected by 85% and re-elected by 80%. as i travel the united states from states like iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, nevada, what people want is

someone to bring them together. they want to know more. they want to hear more about my track record, about what i have accomplished and what i can do for them and their children. this isn't about me, my generation. this is about our children. >> to win you'll have to beat the republican front runner, former president trump. you were in the courtroom monday, this week in miami. what did you make of the indictment? >> yeah. one of the things that happened in miami is people were hoping that members of the press were hoping there would be anarcy. i think miami did what miami has done. we have lowered -- >> i asked you what you thought of the indictment. sir, i asked what you thought of the indictment. >> and i want to talk about miami. i think if we continue to have a conversation about the former president, then the former president will be the nominee. i'm talking about me running for president. >> tell me what you think about the indictment. do you think it shows that donald trump is fit to be president. >> i think what it shows is that people are frustrated in this

country, particularly republicans who feel there isn't an equal administration of justice. that's what i hear. that's what republicans are telling me. i think that's where the frustration lies. i think the fact that we're in a presidential campaign and we're seeing, you know, a former president be indicted multiple times. it's something republicans view as partisan and problematic in a country like ours, in a democracy like ours. >> i'm asking you about president trump's behavior. one of your fellow challengers nikki haley said it showed incredibly reckless behavior. did the president do anything wrong in the way he handled classified information? >> i don't know the details about how he handled classified information. i do know -- >> you read the indictment, didn't you? did you read the indictment? >> of course. >> what does it say to you? i'm trying to get an answer. i let you say why you're running for president. answer that question. >> look, it's not what i would have done. i would have turned over the documents.

if i were the former vice president and current president i wouldn't have stored classified documents in my garage either. the former vice president of the united states under the current president, under the former president also had issues with classified documents. >> sir, there's a very big difference between those two cases. president biden turned them over himself. had donald trump turned over those documents, he wouldn't have been charged. i'm asking about his behavior. do you think it shows proper concern for classified material? do you think it was reckless? do you think it was legal? >> like i said before, i'm not an expert on these kinds of matters. i do want to say this. this conversation is not a healthy conversation for the country. we should be talking about the issues that americans care about. we shouldn't be talking about candidates being indicted. i think if we start having a healthier conversation in this country which is, by the way, all the messages that i have received in the last 24 hours about how refreshing my candidacy is and how different it is because it's positive and

unifying and focused on a positive future for americans. frankly, george, in disrespect to you, that's the conversation i want to have. that's what my candidacy will be about. if my candidacy is going to be about responding to things that former president trump did, then there's not going to be much of a candidacy. not for me other republican nominee. i want to be president of the united states. see, that's where you're wrong. i'm running to be the president of the united states. i'm running against joe biden's america. an america where the poor get poorer and america gets weaker. and america, if thinks don't change, china will be the only super power. that's what i'm running for. the fact that i have to be nominated, the people have to believe in my vision, believe in me and my track record. i think that will happen naturally over the course of the next few months months beginning on august 23rd when i have an opportunity to debate and, you know, show my vision to the country and everything that i have seen in terms of how i have traveled the

country has demonstrated that the more people get to know about me, the more they want to know, the more they hopefully will fall in love with a brighter tomorrow for themselves. >> you voted against donald trump twice before as he ran for president, but you'll pledge to support him if he gets the nomination so you can be on that debate stage. >> i think every single republican candidate who wants to be on the debate stage has to pledge to support the nominee. i will do that as well. it's going to be a great contest, hopefully of ideas and ideals to see who makes it to the nomination. i think it's going to be a great conversation about the future of this country. i'm the only hispanic candidate in both parties who is running. i think that's incredibly important because 20% of the country is made up of hispanics that are trending republican. i'm focused on not just winning the 2024 election. i'm focused on creating brand of politics that can win generational elections. >> mayor suarez, thanks for your time this morning. good luck on the trail. >> thank you, george.
