secretary of state antony blinken in beijing. the meeting not confirmed until just an hour before it happened. the two men meeting for about 35 minutes. xi saying that through this visit, he hopes blinken could, quote, make more positive contributions to stablizing china/u.s. relations. >> i expressed that direct engagement and sustained communication at senior levels is the best way to ensure competition does not veer into conflict. >> reporter: this meeting, the culmination of a whirl wind 36 hours for blinken which featured ten hours of talk with top diplomats. major flash points in the relationship have erupted in recent months, in particular u.s. policy towards taiwan angering china. a chinese war ship coming within 150 yards of a u.s. destroyer this month as it sailed in international waters through the taiwan strait, a move china called provocative. in the skies above, a chinese fighter jet buzzing a

u.s. plane in a move the pentagon called dangerous and unnecessary. the u.s. frustrated by china's role in the fentanyl crisis, the war in ukraine and cyber espionage, while china accusing the u.s. of trying to, quote, contain its rise, both militarily and economically. even this beijing trip was supposed to happen back in february before being postponed after a chinese spy balloon showed up in u.s. air space. neither country expecting any diplomatic break throughs, aiming instead to reopen senior level communications that have faltered lately. president biden hoping for a reset. >> i'm hoping that over the next several months, i'll be meeting with xi again and talking about legitimate differences we have. but also how those areas we can get along. >> reporter: secretary blinken will be leaving here from beijing shortly, seemingly having stopped, at least for now, the freefall that this bilateral relationship has been in since at least february. don't expect the two countries to be friendly any time soon.

>> as you said, could be a reset. matt rivers, thank you very much. we're going to turn to the travel crush as we head into summer. more pandemic records shattered this weekend with a scary incident on the tarmac. alex perez is live at o'hare airport in chicago. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, michael. already a busy morning here at o'hare. travellers are coming out headed to the airports in record numbers and expected to do so all summer. this holiday weekend another post pandemic travel record shattered. with it another harrowing incident on a tarmac. the faa investigating after a united airlines plane clipped the tail of this delta flight in boston. our affiliate spoke with daniel frederickson after he witnessed the incident. >> i saw this other plane stationary. we were just driving and it hit the other plane.

>> reporter: united issuing a statement saying its customers deplane normally at the gate. no passengers on either flight were hurt. the incident happening during the holiday travel crush as tsa says it's screened more than 2.7 million people on thursday alone, the highest number since 2019. but it's not the first post pandemic record broken this summer. a pattern experts say we could see all summer long. >> for the first time since the pandemic began, air travel is really back to normal. when you look at the number of folks who have gotten on an airplane in 203, it exceeded the number who got on in 2019. >> reporter: as record breaking numbers of people head to the airport, also comes the fear of increasing close calls. in february, two united planes clipped wings in newark, two at logan in early march and, on wednesday in minneapolis, an american airlines flight had to

cancel its landing and circle around because a delta flight was still on the runway. and the faa has ear marked $100 million to help avoid and reduce some of those runway mishaps. michael? >> alex, if you're out there and going to fly, when is the best time? and what is the busiest time? >> reporter: yeah, michael. so we're expecting each day, monday, tuesday, wednesday, numbers are going to continue to grow, the number of passengers and flights. on wednesday, nearly 50,000 flights on that day alone. michael? >> alex perez, thank you. george? president biden shifting his re-election campaign into high gear with his first official rally over the weekend campaigning out west. mary bruce has the story. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. yeah, president biden is headed out west to fund raise this week. we can expect this to be his campaign play book. a mix of official white house

events to tout his accomplishments, big dollar fund-raisers and a few campaign events here and there. all intended to show biden as a steady leader and draw sharp contrast with the republicans. >> four more years! >> reporter: kick starting his run for re-election, biden rallying union members in pennsylvania. >> i am proud to be the most pro union president in american history. what i'm proud about is being re-elected the most pro-union president in history. >> reporter: biden was seen backing up the union which represents 12 million workers. the union's earliest endorsement. >> we got a story to tell, a record to run on. but most importantly, we're not on changing this country, we're transforming it. >> reporter: biden talking up his white house record creating 13 million jobs and investing in the nation's infrastructure. he never mentioned his republican rival

by name and is still declining to go after donald trump, despite his recent indictment. the president we're told will not hold regular rallies until much later in the campaign season planning instead to focus on fund-raising and his day job hoping voters will see him as a steady hand in the white house. but polls have shown the public has deep concern about his age. and his ability to do the job, just 31% approve of him in his latest abc news poll. trying to differentiate himself from the 80-year-old president florida governor ron desantis out on the campaign trail in battleground nevada over the weekend playing up his young family. while trump just turned 77, desantis at just 46 would be the youngest president since jfk. >> we brought the kids. we had to fly back home. we had to leave before the rodeo ended, and so my son, he was upset, we didn't get to see the bulls. >> reporter: now, desantis is trying to use his age to

distinguish himself from donald trump but the former president remains the overwhelming favorite. republican voters, his supporters are not waivering despite his recent indictments, george. >> mary, over the weekend the president toured that damage from the collapse of i-95 outside philadelphia. when do they expect it to reopen? >> reporter: surprise shorter timeline according to the governor in pennsylvania, he says they could have that section of i 95 reopened within the next two weeks. biden says this is an example of why it's important to invest in infrastructure and says there is no more important project in the country right now. george? >> mary bruce, thanks. linsey? now to the mystery over who's sending letters with suspicious white power to officials in kansas. more than 90 envelopes have shown up, and the fbi is now involved in the investigation. aaron katersky is here with the latest. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: it's now more than 90 kansas lawmakers and public officials who have received these letters with a mysterious white powder. so far there's nothing hazardous but the fbi and the kansas

bureau of investigation working to determine who's behind these letters. they were mainly sent to home addresses. at least one letter had a return address of a church and used the name of a transgender woman murdered in 2021. one showed what she received saying it is important not to choke on your ambition. one lawmaker who received one called the message cryptic with no clear point. even if these letters turn out to be harmless, michael, sending them may be a crime. f michael? >> aaron, thank you very much. gonna turn now to today. today. juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the united states. it's a federal holiday. how it's observed and who gets the day off varies across the nation. rachel scott has more for us. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: michael, good morning. juneteenth is the newest federal holiday signed into law two

years ago. for many americans that does not guarantee paid him off. more and more states are recognizing juneteenth as a paid holiday. 28 states and washington, d.c. they do give their state workers paid time off closing most banks and schools. the rest of the country recognizes as a day of observance. of course it's up to private companies to decide whether to do the same. juneteenth does mark the day when we finally released slaves in galveston texas letting them know they had been freed. it was two years after the civil war ended. when president biden signed it into law in 2021, critics argued it was too expensive to give americans another paid federal holiday. but supporters of this legislation say this is much more than paid time off. this is about recognizing and acknowledging our nation's history.

guys? >> okay, rachel. thank you very much. major set backs to the u.s. soccer team. a foot injury will keep the captain off of the title. eva pilgrim has the story. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, george. becky sauerbrunn confirming she will miss the upcoming world cup due to a foot injury, tweeting she hoped and worked and hoped to make it back but with less than a month to go before the team is due to leave, she said she is out. heart broken isn't even the half of it. sauerbrunn has made 216 appearances with the u.s. women's national team. she would have been the most experienced player on this year's roster. experience that could really have used as over half the upcoming team will likely be world cup first timers. we are expected to see some returning players from the 2019. alex morgan.

that i couldn't do things without losing my breath. i couldn't make it through the airport, and every like 20 or 30 yards i had to sit down and get my breath. every physical exertion seemed to exhaust me. and finally, i went to the hospital where i was diagnosed with afib. when i first noticed symptoms, which kept coming and going, i should have gone to the doctor and told them what was happening. instead, i tried to let it pass. if you experience irregular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, or light-headedness, you should talk to your doctor. afib increases the risk of stroke about 5 times i want my experience to help others understand the symptoms of atrial fibrillation. when it comes to your health, this is no time to wait.

very easy. it's not gonna hold an umbrella. >> reporter: the american life guard association spokes person showing us how important it is to secure that umbrella. >> most umbrellas are designed with a spike, a point at the end so that you can get into the ground easier. when they come out of the ground they turn into a spear like javelin and can impale a person. it's unbelievable. i have seen it. >> reporter: so what can you do? u.s. consumer product safety commission sharing beach umbrella safety practices including spiking your pole in the sand, firmly rocking it back and forth until it's buried deep in the sand and anchoring the base. you always want to be aware when at the beach. when choosing an umbrella, avoid one with a tilt feature. they can be very convenient. these things can act like a sail, launching it into the air. ideally you want to dig about a two-foot hole and then use something to weigh down the umbrella. here we're using the sandbag.

>> first of all, big picture. i think it's really important for everyone to understand that, in medicine we make discoveries like this all the time. there's a drug prescribed or fda approved for one thing, and then with a lot of people using that drug, we find that it has a beneficial effect or potentially a negative effect. but in this case a beneficial effect for something else. i was speaking to a cardiologist in boston about these drugs recently. he told me that in his patients, it's fascinating. they are reporting subjectively patients who are on wegovy, ozempic for weight loss or type ii diabetes they are drinking less. they have less of an urge for alcohol and other behaviors. so again, this is observation first and then you start to look for biologic cause and effect. remember, these drugs do work in the brain on our reward center partially, so there is some science to explain why people are finding this. >> do you think it potentially could be sustainable as a

treatment for addiction? >> we don't know, right? for that indication, it would have to be formally studied with clinical trials. there's also off label uses of some medications. when you talk about addiction, there are fda approved prescription medications to treat people with certain types of addiction. there is also therapy, a range of issues. many people in the world of addiction medicine think fda approved medications are under prescribed so we'll have to see. >> we don't know about the long term implication either. >> we don't. you have to remember, for these drugs we talk about the side effects before. there's a long range. most are gastrointestinal. remember these drugs also contain a black box warning for a rare type of thyroid cancer. so again, risk/benefit. you always have to assess that when you're talking about any prescription medication. >> what happens when people get off the drugs? >> look, if you're taking them for weight loss, there is no indication that when they come off the medication, they won't regain the weight.

they have to retrain some of their eating behaviors, which are not always under their control. and also, it's important to remember when you talk about the potential for these medications for addiction, some of those people may not actually want to lose weight. so that's where you have to look at the side effect and the end result of a medication for the population who's taking it. >> thanks. >> you bet. >> tips on how to avoid learning loss on break. becky worley with the story. hey, becky. >> reporter: george, good morning. after nine months of making lunch, getting kids out the door, summer is a welcome relief for kids and parent. but educators warn of summer knowledge loss and say there's some simple steps for parents to keep kids on track. ♪ school's out for summer ♪ >> reporter: school's out for summer. this scene from dazed and confused captures the joy kids feel about getting a break from the classroom.

but there's a downside to this school vacation. summer learning loss. a 2020 study found that students lost on average between 17% an 28% of their school year gains in reading and between 25% and 34% of math gains all during summertime. so the bremmer family from california, mom and teacher julie make sure her boys stay active to keep from backsliding on reading and math. >> as a teacher, i do know summer slide is a real thing for sure. i see it every fall. we try to do a lot that doesn't seem like school work but keeps the kids engaged. >> reporter: experts say there's many ways to help kids hang on to learning. >> during the summertime give them a loose schedule. it's important for kids to continue practicing managing their own time. >> reporter: plus a new crop of educational games cannot only stave off learning loss, but supplement reading challenges as national data on proficiency shows kids are falling behind.

>> good job. i think it helps to look at our kids' learning skills as a set of muscles. if your child needs math practice, figure out creative ways that they can do math. maybe it's by cooking. >> reporter: julie says learning doesn't cost a lot of money. >> if you want to make your own flash cards to take on a hike with you or a car ride to use, letters are free. that's good practice writing. a library card is free. >> reporter: a few more tips for parents. julie's so right. a library card is free. you want to engage in reading with your kids. i used to go to the library weekly and get as many as i could. graphic novels, cartoons, fact books. whatever. we're gonna start that up again this summer. listen to podcasts and audiobooks with kids. while downtime is key, try to limit screens and promote social skills.

keep kids active, connected to their peers. those play dates, keep them engaging in negotiations skills and learning to compromise. that's another really important part of summer learning, guys. >> i'm always negotiating with him as far as how much screen time? right. that is helping. [ laughter ] >> thank you. some good advice there. now to the nurse and sisters on a mission to save lives this summer and raise awareness about skin cancer in the black community. they're sharing their top tip for staying safe and their number one piece of advice. take a look. >> i always say your skin will tell your sins. >> reporter: with summer just two days away, registered nurses carly nelson and wendy jewels are ramping up efforts to spread an important message about sun safety. >> people should be wearing sun screen every single day. we like to tell people reapply, reapply, reapply. >> hash tag is reapply til you die. [ laughter ]

>> we want to tell people to reapply your sun screen at least every two hour, especially in the summer. >> reporter: and they're determined to debunk this myth within the black community. >> black doesn't crack. >> it does. there's a myth where we don't need to wear sun screen. we have a natural protection from the sun. that's not always the case. we are also, as a people of color, prone to skin cancers, prone to melanoma, other dying know seus unrelated. >> reporter: the estimated five year melanoma survival for black patients is only 70% versus 94% for white patients. in addition to wearing sun screen, carla and wednesday say staying hydrated is also important. >> switching your cleansers to something more light weight, also adding serums, vitamin c. also drinking lots of water. eating fruits like watermelon, things that will hydrate you on the inside.

dual action, inside and outside. >> reporter: the duo's working relationship is supplemented by the fact they are also sisters who share big dreams. >> i would say i'm the dreamer and my sister is the executer. that's the dynamic. it's been working well. >> she dreams a lot so i'm always work. >> reporter: one dream was to open a luxury medical spa where people of color could come and learn how to care for their skin. >> we worked in dermatology and plastic surgery. we felt like there was a lack of representation, we wanted to start our own lane. >> in our own neighborhood. >> where we grew up. >> reporter: the community they've cultivated is growing by the day. >> it's full blown sisterhood. we go from, hey girl, hey, to hey girl, hey! so it's lovely to see our clients smile. >> all right. so they say black does crack so reapply.

high school basketball game. what was that achievement like honoring him in that way? >> it was unbelievable. my grandfather was my best friend. i lost my grandmother when i was 7 to lung cancer. when you have a best friend like that, it's everything. the way he was taken from me and to score 61 points the day after his funeral. actually come here right after that. that was the first time i ever did some type of national interview. i was so nervous. i remember i had water and i was shaking. robin roberts, she was amazing. it's crazy how life has come full circle. >> tell us about the lessons he taught you. >> my grandfather taught me everything. he taught me discipline. taught me about hard work. he had the first black owned service station in north carolina. so i used to change tires, check oil, do all these different things. he just always showed me and my brothers the work, right? regardless what happens, it's all about the work. >> what a gift to have a best friend as your grandfather.

>> he was special. he was definitely that. >> we see all that he put in you because you've shown us through your work on the basketball court. 18 seasons. and lot of people look at your success and think it's always been that way. you didn't make the varsity basketball team until your junior year. what would you like to say to your varsity coach right now? [ laughter ]. >> coach layton, coach david layton, i tell you, thank you. first and foremost, i say thank you. sometimes you can be given things just a little bit too early. it humbled me. my dad was right there, too. i played jv as a freshman, my sophomore year coach said he'd put me on varsity but i couldn't get in the game. i had an older brother on varsity. it humbled me. i practiced with jv and varsity every day. on jv i got a chance to hone my confidence, to really build myself up. then my junior year i was ready.

coach layton, i appreciate you. know that. >> kids can keep you humble. are you kids still watching after 18 seasons? >> they do. i have a 14-year-old son who's at basketball camp and a 10-year-old daughter. they are everything. my daughter just started watching my kids probably a year ago. she just got into basketball maybe like two years ago. it's been cool. two totally different kids, but you just understand so much in life when you have kids. >> we're celebrating juneteenth, of course, today. last year president biden appointed you to the advisory board for hbcu. why was it important for you to be part of that? >> very important. i'm born and raised in winston salem, north carolina. i grew up around a lot of hbcu's. happy juneteenth to everyone. i graduated from winston salem state university in december. it's been cool for me. as a kid, you only know what you know. when i started growing up and learning why hbcu's are so important and underfunded, i

wanted to try to help as much as i could. >> thank you for that, being a product for hbcu, all the support you've been doing. thank you. congratulations on this book. i think this book will be a great lesson for so many who see you and know that they can learn a lot by the way you were raised by your grandfather. >> i appreciate it, mike. thank you for having me. >> great to see you, chris. you haven't changed since that first interview with robin roberts.

lawrence saying i want to star with you in a movie? >> one of the craziest days of your life. i was on, in fact, the long island rail road. i'm from long island. i got a call from the director. said, i'm patching jen through. i was like, okay. there she was. she said, i'm so sorry you won't be able to go back to college this semester. >> not a bad phone call. i interviewed her last week. she said she was really worried you were going to be irritating. were you? >> i sure hope not. people have tended to worry that i'll be irritating. i have also looked not young. no, we kind of hit it off right away in a unique way just as people, let alone co-workers and let alone the fact that i'm just some kid and she's jennifer lawrence. >> it shines through on the screen. it sounds weird, but you guys really have chemistry. >> i know. it's a weird thing to even think about. i was so nervous to work with someone who i admire as much as her and someone with her

reputation. right away it was, oh, this is a special perfect and i think we'll always be in each other's lives. >> unique premise for a movie. about a craigs list ad where your parents, helicopter parents basically, i'll put it in quote, they want you to date jennifer lawrence. can you imagine having your parents do that for you? >> no, but also -- it's kind of more and more likely, i think. we are so much more aware of what people in the world specifically our kids now, i don't mean mine, but parents are worried what their parents are doing and they want more and more to control it. the movie speaks to it. >> it really does. your dad is played by matthew broderick. wild wig. you get to play with a lot of legends in one movie. >> i know. it's like crazy. i had to set that aside and be like oh my god that's simba siting across from me. >> you get the call. takes you out of a semester at harvard.
