[ laughter ] throw away the wrong thing. holding the trash in your hand. good morning, america. >> it is a busy tuesday morning. let's take a live look right now capitol hill. members of congress are set to meet again today as the clock

ticks down on the possible government shutdown. much more from capitol hill. we begin with the crisis at our southern border. the biden administration will send defense department personnel to the border. one small texas city issued an emergency declaration after migrants flooded the town, overwhelming resources. matt gutman joins us with more. >> reporter: as migrant crossings continue to spike along the border, it's got local officials very frustrated. as one county supervisor told me in san diego, it's time for the federal government to step up. overnight the biden administration saying it's taking new action to handle situations like this. thousands of migrants arriving daily at the u.s. southwest border. this group just a small part of the roughly 7,000 people local officials say have crossed into the small town of eagle pass, texas. now the administration said it's sending a surge of active duty

department of defense personnel to the border including 800 active duty members in addition to the 2,500 already deployed to assist customs and border protection. this as the number of migrant crossings has spiked in recent weeks. this train carrying hundreds of migrants arriving just south of el paso, texas. they braved the journey just one day after officials had temporarily shut down those trains after a half dozen migrant deaths were reported. with so many migrants arriving to the border, ngo's and local resources are strained, forcing border patrol to release thousand of migrants on to the streets here in san diego county. this man from colombia gets emotional when we asked him what he was thinking. >> he is here now. that was his goal. but he had to leave his family behind. >> reporter: every migrant we spoke to here looking for a better life, but they are making life harder for local officials. overburdened and underfunded,

many local border communities on the front lines of immigration, a federal issue. some with a message for washington politicians. >> this isn't a political situation. this is not a left or right issue. this is an immigration system that has failed. >> reporter: on the campaign trail, candidates are weighing in. shortly before announcing his new energy policy, florida governor ron desantis sat down with our linsey davis in midland, texas. the governor suggesting it may be necessary to send the military to the border. >> as commander in chief, you have to defend your people and you have to ensure territorial integrity of your country. right now we have drug cartels controlling parts of our border more so than our u.s. government. that will change when i become president. we'll make sure we're defending the country. >> reporter: as for why we're seeing this spike, it's a mixture of the easing of peak summer temperatures, an increase in human smuggling activity and the simple fact that there are already a record number of migrants already on the move in

this part of the world. george? >> okay, matt. thanks. let's get more from salina wang. late night at the white house, salina. >> reporter: george, the white house has been saying that president biden is doing everything he can to address the migrant crisis but this has been a tough issue. even his fellow democrats have been criticizing him for not doing more. this announcement is part of biden's broader efforts to create legal path ways for migrants to stay and work here. his administration is blaming congress for the lack of action, george. >> the president meeting with president zelenskyy today? >> reporter: george, this meeting could not come at a more critical time. ukraine's counter offensive has been slower than expected and russia has been reaching out to iran and north korea for more weapons. that is why this morning u.s. officials telling abc news president biden will announce hundreds of millions in more military aid to ukraine. but president biden is asking for $24 billion more from congress. he's hoping zelenskyy's personal

pleas to lawmakers, especially skeptical republicans, will convince them to approve more. this morning zelenskyy making that tough sell on capitol hill and then coming to the white house to meet with president biden. his message is that ukraine's success hinges on american support. george? >> thank very much. robin? with ukraine's president here in the u.s., overnight at least five ukrainian cities were targeted by russian missile strikes. tom soufi-burridge is on the scene of one of the devastating attacks with more details. good morning, tom. >> reporter: good morning, robin. russia launching a wave of missile strikes across ukraine like here. that building up there was a hotel. look how the missile has launched. you can hear and see how they are still searching through the rubble, making sure none of the guests were inside at the time. look at the devastation around me. officials saying a missile here was shot down. russia firing a total of 43 missiles. ukraine's air force saying it shot down 36 of them.

the kremlin reverting to its tactic of targeting ukrainian energy sites. overnight a major ukrainian attack on russian occupied cri crimea striking a russian air force base. all that as president zelenskyy gears up for key meetings in the u.s. michael? >> tom, thank you very much for that. going to turn to the urgent man hunt for a murder suspect who was mistakingly released from an indiana jail last week. trevor ault is tracking the latest. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. we're a week removed from that man hunt from danilo cavalcante. he escaped with that daring crab walk sideways up a wall. this new man hunt is for a murder suspect who simply walked out the door, as officials say he was released by accident. overnight an urgent search for accused murder suspect kevin mason, accidentally set free by authorities. >> he was on the run for nearly two years and he was in custody for a short 48 hours. >> reporter: investigators say the 28-year-old walked out of

jail on his own eight days ago, all because of a clerical error. mason was arrested september 11th charged in connection with a killing in june 2021 in minneapolis. he was finally apprehended, nearly two years after the murder, but served just two days behind bars before his accidental release. he was picked up by his girlfriend from the adult detention center. >> his conversation to her was, i'm walking away and i will meet you. she picked him up. by the time we picked up on her, he wasn't with her. >> reporter: the sheriff points to staffing shortages as a possible cause of the error that led to mason's release. >> we're short staffed. they're underpaid. that's not an excuse, but it's a fact. >> reporter: it comes in the wake of a two week man hunt that gripped the nation. >> we take responsibility for what happened here. we take it seriously. everybody was put in harms way. >> reporter: officials at chester county prison in pennsylvania, where danilo cavalcante broke out in august say they've now taken significant steps to shore up their security.

>> we are planning numerous safety enhancements. most of which come with technology, including drones, detection methods. we are going to take this facility, make it state of the art. >> reporter: the active warden at chester county prison say they have added more razor wire and government mesh. over that gap in the roof that cavalcante climbed up to escape. staffing is all an issue there, too. they're operating at only about 60% staffing capacity. robin? >> that's a major issue. thank you. now to the growing fentanyl crisis. authorities are searching for the husband of a day care owner where a 1-year-old died from exposure to the drug. our senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky joins us with the latest. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: robin, good morning. america's fentanyl crisis is taking on a terrifying new dimension. lethal amounts in close proximity to children and the hunt is on for a suspected drug trafficker who left fentanyl on play mats. this morning the urgent search

for the husband of the bronx day care owner facing murder and drug trafficking charges in connection with the shocking death of a 1-year-old exposed to fentanyl. police said they found a kilo of the drug stored on play mats. authorities say the owner's husband was caught on video fleeing the day care before emergency personnel arrived carrying two heavy shopping bags out a back alley. investigators say they recovered thousands of encrypted messages including some in which the day care owner warns her husband law enforcement was asking questions about him. >> all of that happened while the children, the babies, were suffering from the effects of fentanyl poisoning and in desperate need of help. >> reporter: and this morning five people are charged in another case that police say brought fentanyl frighteningly close to a child, this time at a home in queens, where police say they found an arsenal in the basement including a semiautomatic rifle and several loaded handguns and potentially

lethal amounts of fentanyl across the hall of a bedroom of a 10-year-old. >> fatal doses of illegal narcotics where a child is sleeping is completely unacceptable. >> reporter: the 10-year-old has been removed from the home in the bronx. the two people in custody are due in court today. both cases, george, illustrate how this crisis is putting at risk not only users, but children who come into contact with fentanyl. george? >> it is just horrible. okay, aaron. thank you very much. now to attorney general garland on capitol hill pushing back again republicans who accuse the justice department of political bias. chief justice correspondent pierre thomas has the story. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning. it was a contentious hearing with house republicans claiming that doj is a pawn of the white house. we had a normally mild mannered attorney general who was not having it and who came prepared for a verbal fight. republicans on the attack for more than five hours.

>> the fix is in. there's one investigation protecting president biden. there's another one attacking president trump. >> reporter: the attorney general rejecting claims of a politicized justice department, pushing back hard. >> our job is not to take orders from the president, from congress or from anyone else about who or what the criminally investigations. >> reporter: much of it centered on president biden's son hunter. and whether he's getting preferential treatment, despite the fact that hunter biden is being investigated by david weiss, a u.s. attorney appointed by president trump. >> what stage are we in? are we in the beginning stage, the middle stage, the end stage, the keep hiding the ball stage? >> reporter: the hearing at times testy and personal. at one point a republican congressman accusing garland of targeting catholics unfairly. garland's family has faced anti-semitism, deeply offended. >> the idea that someone with my family background would discriminate against any religion is so outrageous, so absurd. >> reporter: democrats defending garland saying the house gop was

simply trying to help former president trump, who's been indicted twice by a doj special counsel. aside from the politics, hunter biden now facing the reality of an indictment and upcoming trial. wednesday a federal judge ruled biden must appear in court for his arraignment despite his attorney's request that the appearance be virtual. the judge saying biden must be treated like any other defendant. michael? >> all right, pierre. thank you very much. gonna turn now to the latest on a potential government shutdown. still no deal on a spending bill to keep the government running as the clock ticks down to a deadline. senior congressional correspondent rachel scott is tracking it all for us on capitol hill. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: good morning. still no deal with just ten days to go. house speaker kevin mccarthy is floating a new proposal but he is still facing stiff opposition from democrats in the senate and even members of his own party. overnight, house speaker kevin mccarthy emerging from a tense two hour meeting insisting republicans are inching towards

a proposal to avoid a government shutdown. >> we're very close there. i feel i have got a little more movement to go there. >> reporter: sources tell abc news mccarthy's new plan would fund the government for 30 days, with some spending cuts, establish a debt commission an enact stricter border policies. how positive are you that you will avert a government shutdown? >> i don't know if you ever played sports. did you quit before the game was over? i'm going to stay with it and solve the problem. >> reporter: that's a nonstarter in the senate, where democrats are in control. >> we're one half of one third of the decision making process. but we act as though we can impose our will on the entire congress and we just simply can't do that. >> reporter: it may not even be enough to satisfy mccarthy's far right critics in the house. do you believe senator mccarthy is an effective leader? >> no. obviously. we're eight months into his speakership and we're stuck in the mud. >> reporter: if congress does not act in the next ten days, more than 4 million government workers could go unpaid. >> we should exhaust all options before heading to a shutdown.

>> reporter: as mccarthy fights to keep republicans together, former speaker of the house nancy pelosi saying, this is no way to run congress. >> nothing is playing out except chaos. >> reporter: and with time running out, some democrats and republicans are trying to work together on a bipartisan solution, but it's unclear what will win over those hard right conservatives in the house. they will need their vote to avoid the shutdown. robin? >> they will. all right. rachel, thank you. we're going to turn to the latest on the hollywood writers strike. negotiations are resuming between the union and studios with hope for many workers that there is an end in sight. zoreen shaw has more from los angeles. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. there could be an end in sight to part of the historic hollywood threat that has up ended the entertainment industry and halted nearly all movie and tv productions. hollywood writers and studios are reportedly close to an agreement to end the strike that started back in may. the wga alliance of motion

after the charges were filed. >> i'm praying for all of us. my son fought for his life and begged for his life. >> the jurors in this particular case, what they are being asked to determine is whether or not these officers perceived that their behavior was such a gross deviation from the reasonable standard of care and that resulted in a death. >> reporter: reiterating there with what one of lawyers said. just because a tragedy occurred doesn't mean a criminality occurred. he placed the blame on the paramedics. they have their trial, along with a third officer, set to take place later this year. guys? >> okay, kayna, thank you very much. now to a lawsuit targeting the company behind chat gpt. a group of prominent authors is suing them accusing them of copy right infringement. chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis has that story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. while chat gpt can be a great tool for research, these authors see it as a threat to their livelihood because it's actually learned from their books without

open ai reproduced copy righted books without the authors consent to train chat gpt allowing it to produce derivative works, material that's based on mimic, summarizes or paraphrases the author's work and harms the market for them. >> if you can automate this, you can pretty much automate everything and no one will have a reason to get up out of bed any more. it just feels like a threat to everything that makes us human. >> before you can win, you've got to act like you can win which means you've got to believe you can win. >> reporter: michael connolly, best selling author of the lincoln lawyer, now a hit netflix series, says he's ready for battle. >> you feel kind of like a david versus a goliath in this. we're going to fight the good fight. >> reporter: open ai responding to the lawsuit saying in a statement, we respect the rights of writers and authors and believe they should benefit from ai technology and are working to understand their concerns.

>> georg we're back with our gma cover story on the weight loss revolution. we're looking at the impact of drugs like ozempic and wegovy on muscle mass loss. becky worley is here. hi, becky. >> the question is do these new medications cause people to lose more muscle than regular weight loss regimens? it's important to know, holding on to muscle mass or building it is closely tied to your resting metabolic rate and directly impacts your overall health profile. >> i have struggled with my weight basically all of my adult life. i have lost and gained many times over. pretty sure i have tried every diet there is. >> reporter: 46-year-old tiffany from boise, idaho, says she started taking compounded semaglutide four months ago. some doctors like tiffany's have told their patients to be mindful of losing muscle mass.

>> her goal is to make sure that body fat that's being lost not lean body mass. >> reporter: lean body mass includes bones, water and muscle mass. diet and exercise show that 20% to 30% of total weight loss is typically this lean mass. but in a recent study of people that took semaglutide, the loss of lean mass accounted for 40% of total weight loss. >> we know that it can be substantial because so much weight is lost. so it's important to protect against the loss of muscle. >> reporter: the maker of ozempic and wegovy point to the fact that people who use these drugs still lose more fat than muscle. they tell abc news, it studies look at lean body mass and not specifically muscle mass. they add they work closely with the fda to monitor the safety profile of their medicines because safety is a top priority.

and eli lily, the maker of monjouro said a reduction of lean mass was reported for the same as seen in lifestyle treatments for obesity. to protect against muscle loss, tiffany got body mass scans that showed she was losing fat and gaining muscle even on weeks when the scale didn't show any weight loss. that's but a lean muscle and fat have such different densities. this is a representation of five pounds of lean muscle and this five pounds of fat. you can see there's a big difference. companies like body set that provide these body composition scans are trying to bring the price down and make the technology more available with mobile vans and retail locations like this one in san francisco. >> the machine will generate a report, giving you your body fat percentage, lean tissue quantity, bone content and estimated resting metabolc rate.

your visceral fat. >> reporter: while body scans are not a care for semaglutide regimens, some doctors recommend them, saying they can make people more aware of muscle loss and gain. now, you don't need a scan to focus on maintaining muscle mass. experts say though it is important for everyone to think about this. muscle supports healthy joints and your movement. plus it's a factor in your metabolism. more muscle burns more calories. guys, we all need to be thinking about how can we get more muscle. this is the goal for all of us. >> yeah. muscle mass is important. make sure you take care of that. thank you very much, becky. now to a ground breaking new project from the new york times just out this morning that takes you inside the minds and lives of young teens as they navigate pressure from school to crushes, parents and social media. eva pilgrim is back with the story. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, michael.

being 13 is just such a tough age. so much going on all at once. this project is a fascinating look into not just how 13-year-olds think, but how they use social media as we try to understand how it all affects them. >> this is what being 13 is like for us. >> reporter: this morning inside the minds of young teens. a new new york times article called "being 13" is giving us a glimpse of how teens think. >> i'm addie. i'm 13 years old and i live in northern shores michigan. >> i'm london in 8th grade from maryland. >> reporter: for months journalist jessica following the lives of 13-year-old girls. >> i'm anna finishing up middle school in denver colorado. >> reporter: throughout the project, the girls sending jessica voice memos as they contend with the pressures of middle school. >> i'm almost in high school. i'm going to be in 8th grade and i don't have any social media except for you tube. >> i feel like i have been upset. i feel like adults treat me different now that i have a boyfriend.

>> reporter: their trials and tribulations magnified by the presence of social media, with experts warning of its potential harm for young women. >> we were really interested to see what it was like to be that age, age 13, which is the age that you are allowed to legally join social media, and also tends to be right around the time when girls' self-esteems plummet. >> we're not just a certain way. we can be very misunderstood a lot of time. >> reporter: the teens and their parents navigating adolescence in a world where social media is a constant at their finger tips. >> i'm grateful that i have a phone and it's so nice. but it can be very hard because i feel like, i want to take a break from my phone. it's not as easy because you do everything on it. it's connected literally to everything. >> we just try to make sure we monitor as much as possible while still giving her her space to be a teenager and have some privacy. >> what we hope people learn is

there's a nuance to this. these are kids. they're growing. there's things parents can do to try to make sure their kids are using social media in a healthy way. also these are universal experiences. >> for parents one of the big concerns here is the mental health component. there's a lot we don't know about how social media affects a teen's growing brain. girls tend to face higher rate of anxiety and depression particularly around this age because their hormones are raging, because estrogen levels are going through the roof, and all that plays a major role in their well being. guys? >> it certainly does, eva. that is very enlightening. thank you. now to hispanic heritage month and raising awareness about the dangers of die beatty. according to the cdc, more than half of hispanic adults are likely to develop diabetes in their life time. we have more on this health crisis. good morning again to you. >> good morning, robin.

as we know, they say you are what you eat. for latinos in the u.s., what they eat when they move from their home country where most food is fresh and cooked at home to the u.s. where they are more exposed to junk food could put their health at risk. it's an open secret in our community, diabetes. cdc reports hispanic population is more likely to develop diabetes and more likely to be undiagnosed. the disease is characterized by high blood pressure, type i when a person's body does not make enough insulin. in type ii when the body does not properly use insulin. in both cases the consequences may be heart disease and damage to the kidney. why are hispanics prone to diabetes? genetics, their lifestyle? >> probably a combination of the lifestyle. we used to work a lot doing a lot of physical activity. when we changed to a sedentary

job that increased the risk. a lot less exercise. also diet. >> the doctor says hispanic staples have been replaced by what he characterizes as junk food. most people would think the latino diet, being so rich in rice and beans and tortillas and things like that, that that's what makes you prone to diabetes. but it's not. >> it's the processed high carb foods that weren't part of our diet. >> the concern for diabetes are rooted in how the hispanic population approaches medical attention. why is there such a lack of urgency among latinos to seek medication, to seek treatment? >> when i'm talking to latinos, they're talking to me about immigration status, housing, employment, their families back home and how they have to provide payments to them. there's so many things diabetes is tenth on their list. >> understanding diversity within the hispanic population is key in finding ways to diagnose, treat and potentially

reverse type ii diabetes. >> lot of people think of latinos as one group. you have to know your different population group and have different approaches to how you attack diabetes. >> the approach is encouraging people with diabetes to change their lifestyle beyond taking into consideration their ethnic diversity within the community. there's also a generational and gender device. experts say with young latinos talk to them about their appearance and with latino men, you've got to get to the family. you have to get the family involved. especially the wife. >> wow. >> success depends on it. [ laughter ] >> it felt good talking about it, you know? just taking away the stigma of it. >> that's important. >> i'm enjoying having you in the studio. >> thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> now to ginger. >> we have a stunner of a land spout in nebraska. it was not going to impact anyone. so we love to see that. got some pretty strong rotation.
