north korea claims it's planning to expel the u.s. soldier who crossed the border into the country. >> the official news agency of the country said officials have finished their interrogation of private king. let's go to marcus moore with the latest developments on travis king. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: michael, good morning. u.s. officials are confirming this morning that american soldier travis king has been released from north korean custody. this development happening overnight. the state department confirming what has happened and saying they appreciate the hard work of the personnel in the army, the united states forces of korea as well as the department of defense. as well as thanking sweden and the peoples republic of china for their assistance. again, this happening overnight. north korea saying they decided to expel king after an investigation into his border crossing that happened back in july. they, of course, revealed in august they had him in custody and that in the course of their

investigation, that he allegedly had ill feelings over treatment as well as racial mistreatment in the u.s. army. it has long been detention as propaganda. this is a major development, george. travis king released from north korean custody. >> okay, marcus, thank you very much. we turn to the big legal set back for donald trump. a judge ruled he committed years of financial fraud. the most significant punishment dealt to the former president yet. they claim he is inflating the value of his assets as charged in a lawsuit brought by the u.s. attorney general. senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky has the latest. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. the civil case here is the first in a year of court battles that could determine president trump's future. the first round brings a resounding defeat. this morning former president trump is vowing to appeal a ruling by a judge in new york

that found he committed years of financial fraud, inflating hi net worth by as much as $2.2 billion. the judge determined the conduct so agregious and clear. the judge decided trump valued his palm beach estate mar-a-lago at 20 times what it's worth, $600 million compared to the assessed value of $27 million. trump's interest in 40 wall street the judge said is worth $200 million. the trump organization valued it at more than $500 million. the judge found trump overvalued hi apartment in trump tower by tripling its square footage saying it's 30,000 square feet when it's 11,000. the judge adding a discrepancy of this order of magnitude by a real estate developer sizing up his own living space of decades can only be considered fraud. on the campaign trail, trump often boasts of his business

acumen. >> i have some of the greatest assets anywhere in the world. >> reporter: the ruling is a victory for new york attorney general james who sued jump, his eldest sons and his company last year for $250 million. in a statement, james saying she looks forward to presenting the rest of our case at trial. all that's really left for the trial to determine is how much the trumps have to pay. the former president attacked the judge and the attorney general calling them trump hating. the judge's ruling comes with immediate consequences, stripping trump of his ability to operate. it could mean he has to give up control, sell some of the properties that he owns here in new york including buildings with his own name on it. the judge also fined his attorney $7,500 apiece ruling, george, that they repeatedly made defense arguments that the judge said were straight out of fantasy world. george? >> okay, aaron. thank you very much. let's talk more about the consequences. we have our chief legal analyst dan abrams here. seems like a big win for the attorney general. >> it is.

it is a big win. basically what the judge has done is reviewed the documents in the case and said, this is all i need. this is a documents case. it is clear that there was fraud here. as a result, there is nothing for a tryer of fact, a judge or juror, to assess because after reviewing everything there aren't any open questions basically what the judge said. >> isn't that what juries are for? >> remember this is a civil case, not a criminal case. in a criminal case, you wouldn't see a defendant with a ruling like this. in a civil case, where it's for money damages, basically the judge is saying, there are no outstanding issues to resolve and in all likelihood it would be the judge who would be the tryer of fact in this situation. >> beyond the size of the fine, if that's what a jury ends up finding, this has significant consequences for the business of donald trump here in new york. >> absolutely. if this holds up on appeal, this could mean he loses buildings. it means he loses properties. he loses control. this, you could argue, is more

immediately perilous to some degree than some of the criminal cases. >> hits him in his pocket book. >> correct, where he really cares. not to suggest he doesn't care about the criminal cases, but there are all sorts of arguments about why they won't move forward now, etc. this one has now worked its way through the court. it's already in the appellate courts, to some degree. this judge is saying, donald trump loses resoundingly on this question of fraud. >> supposed to go to trial next week but there's a chance that may not happen? >> correct. currently there's an appeal, an effort by trump's team to delay the trial. we're expecting a ruling on that. that will tell us more than just the timing of the trial. it will give us a sense of where the court is going on some of the claims made here. so keep a close eye on that ruling from the appeals court. >> dan abram, thank you very much. robin? now to washington and the looming government shutdown. pressure growing on house speaker mccarthy after the senate released a bipartisan spending bill. our senior congressional correspondent rachel scott is

tracking it all from capitol hill with just three days to go to the deadline. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: robin, good morning. that bipartisan deal from the senate does not stand a chance in the house. the reality is lawmakers are only moving even further apart with just three days until a shutdown. this morning gridlock on capitol hill. house speaker kevin mccarthy dismissing a bipartisan deal from leaders in the senate to avoid a government shutdown. >> i think the priorities are backwards. >> reporter: the senate proposal would keep money flowing until november 17th and provide $6 billion for ukraine. that's a red line for mccarthy. is it the wrong move, for that deal from the senate to include additional funding for ukraine? >> yes. yes, it is wrong. we're picking ukraine over america. >> reporter: instead, mccarthy is moving forward with his own proposal insisting president biden and democrats must crack down on the border to avoid a got shutdown. but that still doesn't appear to be enough to satisfy a handful

of far right conservatives, opposed to any short term deal. >> i think it's doing away with our duties. >> that's not the way to fund government. >> reporter: if congress does not act, 4 million government workers could lose pay. nearly half are military troops and others who work for the armed forces. bethanny chaney's husband works for the air force. >> i have no idea if my husband will get a pay check. >> reporter: also hanging in limbo, tsa workers. they won't be getting checks either. becky mantra works at dallas airport. >> we make sure the traveling public is safe to and from. give them what they deserve, which is their money. >> reporter: i asked one of those republican holdouts what he would say to those workers? >> we have to worry about all 330 million americans not just isolated stories and specific individuals. bottom line is we've got to cut our spending. this is the time to do it. if we don't do it now, when are we going to do it? >> reporter: speaker mccarthy trying to put the pressure on president biden saying it would be important to have a meeting, but president biden has made it clear, this is the

responsibility of congress, calling on republicans to do their job. michael? >> so many people need them to do that. thank you very much, rachel. we're going to turn to the looting that erupted overnight at a major retail stores in philadelphia. police say more than 100 juveniles were involved. stephanie ramos is there on the scene tracking the very latest. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: michael, good morning. this apple store is one of many stores ransacked by a massive group of juveniles last night here in philadelphia. more than a dozen people were arrested. overnight organized theft. philadelphia police searching for more suspects after they say more than 100 juveniles stormed into retail stores across the city late tuesday, looting stores including foot locker, lululemon and apple. >> we have a crowd of 15 going east bound. >> these are criminals. they took advantage of an opportunity.

everybody in this city should be angry. everybody that goes to these businesses should be angry. >> reporter: video showing people running out with handfuls of stolen merchandise. authorities swarming the scene, finding stores left completely gutted. police confirming at least 15 people were arrested and police say they recovered two firearms. >> we made arrests and we will continue to make arrests until we have all of the individuals or a number of the individuals that are responsible for what we have seen in custody. >> reporter: the looting came hours after a philadelphia judge dismissed charges against former police officer mark dial in the shooting death of 27-year-old eddie irizari. police say the looting is not believed to be in connection to the outrage sparked by the judge's decision. >> this had nothing to do with a protest. what we had tonight was a bunch of criminal opportunists take advantage of a situation and make an attempt to destroy our city. >> reporter: police are also asking people with information

or video of the looting to come forward and report it. george? >> okay, stephanie, thanks. now to president biden on the picket line, unprecedented for a president, joining striking autoworkers in michigan encouraged the union to stick with it. terry moran is in wayne, michigan, with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, george. day 12 of the autoworkers strike. they're on the picket line 24/7 at this for plant and sites across the country. now their cause has moved to the center of the presidential campaign. president biden making history with that unprecedented show of solidarity with the striking autoworkers joining the picket line at a general motors facility just a few miles from here. becoming the first president to stand with striking workers on a picket line. biden went further. he openly sided with the union and endorsed their demands. declaring the workers, quote, deserved significant raise that you need and other benefits to

get back what we lost, unquote. today donald trump's turn. the republican front runner will be giving a speech to several, about 500 people, workers and trump supporters at a nonunion auto parts facility north of detroit. trump is skipping the republican debate in california. he's ignoring his republican rivals to go directly after biden on the economy and on electric vehicles. with so many of these workers concerned will cost them their jobs. michael? >> all right. thank you very much for that, terry. now to the anti-trust lawsuit against amazon. the ftc and 17 states accuse the online retail giant of illegally protecting a monopoly, inflating prices for consumers. chief by correspondent rebecca jarvis is here with a look at what that means for shoppers, which is a big deal, rebecca. >> it is a huge deal, michael. good morning. nice to see all of you. 40% of all online shopping in the u.s. takes place on amazon. about two-thirds of adults are

paid members of prime. now the government is alleging amazon is a monopoly that crowds out competition and ends up costing consumers more and sellers higher fees as well. this morning, amazon under fire. u.s. regulators in 17 states suing the country's largest online retailer, accusing it of monopoly practices that allegedly drive out competition and inflate prices for shoppers and fees for sellers. the lawsuit alleging the $1.3 trillion giant keeps sellers from lowering prices by burying links to sellers. sellers who offer better prices elsewhere so they become invisible in search results. regulators additionally claiming amazon stifles competition by coercing sellers into using amazon's costly fulfillment service. >> it's created a very difficult retail market for anybody in the retail business.

>> reporter: nicholas parks is the president of snob foods.com and has been selling on amazon for 21 years. >> we have to more than double our prices in order to compensate for all the fees, in order to break even. >> reporter: in a statement amazon said the lawsuit makes clear the ftc's focus had radically departed from its mission of protecting consumers in competition and that it is wrong on the facts and the law, adding, we look forward to making that case in court. and at this point regulators are not pushing for a breakup of amazon. instead, it's much more likely this suit results in a penalty, some kind of fee amazon has to pay, if the government wins. but that is a big if, considering amazon is expected to mount a very intense defense. >> a big if. thank you. now to hollywood. writers going back to work this morning after a vote by leadership to end their 148-day strike.

we're learning new details about their deal with the studios and streamers. kayna whitworth is in los angeles with those details. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: good morning. the hollywood writers strike is officially over. the nearly 150-day strike ending one minute after midnight. the union securing some major wins here. details have been sparce until now, but here's what we know so far. this three-year deal outlines a 12.5% pay increase starting with a 5% bump when the contract is ratified. one of the sticking points involved royalties. the writers secured a 76% increase for their foreign streaming residuals. another big win for these members, studios and streamers will have to hire a minimum number of writers on projects. the final issue, arguably the most important, revolved around ai. artificial intelligence. they established guidelines regarding the use of ai. sag aftra still on strike.

day they were planning a funeral. >> all he ever wanted to do was wear that badge. he did until the day he died. >> reporter: this morning the mother and fiancee of slain los angeles sheriff's deputy ryan clinkunbroomer speaking out exclusively with abc news after authorities say he was brutally ambushed on duty earlier this month. >> i remember that day, too. he kissed me good-bye, told me he loved me. i was like, i'll see you later. never came home. >> reporter: you had been engaged four days. >> four days. and it was the happiest i have ever seen him, and myself. >> reporter: authorities say clinkunbroomer was killed after leaving the palmdale sheriff's station just before 6 p.m. september 16th. investigators say this video shows the assailant's dark gray car approving the suv then pulling alongside, shot the

30-year-old and sped away. after a 36-hour manhunt, using chemical agents to force kevin salazar out of hi parents home and arrest him. authorities arresting salazar, who pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. salazar's mother claiming he has schizophrenia and she had reported concerns over his mental health to law enforcement. but it's unclear whether those reports should have blocked him from legally buying the murder weapon. clinkunbroomer's family said they were blind sided at this press conference when the l.a. district attorney said he would not seek the death penalty against salazar. >> if i thought seeking the death penalty was going to bring ryan back to us, i would seek it without reservation. but i won't. >> at this moment, we were in kind of a state of shock that it was not the death penalty. they weren't seeking the death

penalty. life in prison? i'm still paying for that then as a parent, as a taxpayer. it just seems the district attorney wants to spare a life when he didn't spare my son's life. he executed my son. he assassinated my son. he assassinated her fiance. to me, we shouldn't even be going to court. to the governor who put a moratorium on the death penalty, i'm sorry. things need to change. >> reporter: the da telling abc news overnight, we have nothing but compassion for the family of deputy clinkunbroomer. nothing that can happen in the criminal justice system will ever repair the harm of losing someone so beloved. where do you go from here? >> i have to make sure that something positive comes out of this. i don't know what it is.

buying drugs used for weight loss. now with illegal websites promising discounts and alternative medications. becky gonna join us with the potential risk and what we should know. good morning again, becky. >> reporter: robin, good morning. ozempic, wegovy, they're booming in popularity for weight loss, but with a high price tag. some people losing insurance reimbursements. then you've got shortages. many are turning to alternative and discounted ways of buying these drugs. but the experts we talked to are worried those way of buying and the drugs you get may not all be safe. websites like these promise deals on the popular drugs used for weight loss like ozempic, wegovy, but they have no way of knowing what's in the medications these sites are selling. >> even if you assume it is the correct substance, if this is not processed correctly and it's not sterile, there's infection concerns. people really have to be careful

because this way of ordering something that you are self-injecting at home is a big problem. i personally would not expose myself to that risk. >> reporter: dr. al carter, who's in charge of overseeing online pharmacies, says many websites selling weight loss drugs are operating illegally, without requiring a prescription and operating without a license. >> there are pharmacies acting illegally. >> yes. our digital health team finds around 20 new pharmacies daily that are operating illegally. >> reporter: this looks so professional. >> right. it looks like it's legitimate. >> reporter: in a matter of minutes, we find websites posing as pharmacies which he says are illegal, like this one that has pictures with unique u.s. drug identification numbers, but claiming it ships out of canada, which is against the law and a clear red flag. >> where to buy wevogy in canada.

we see identification number. these are u.s. markings. >> reporter: but a lay person wouldn't know that. and shows how they're promoting brand name versions of the drug. >> the reason this looks so legitimate is because this is the actual wegovy website. >> reporter: they totally ripped it off. >> they totally ripped off the manufacturers website. >> reporter: other unlicensed websites promise a compounded version. dr. spanola says many of his patients are eager to get these medications and some are turning to these sites. >> there's a huge percent of the population who is looking for this medication with limited access, whether it's from insurance or availability. patients are trying to get the medications ordered online. people have to be very careful. >> reporter: the fda says it is risky and potentially dangerous to purchase prescription drugs on the internet or from unregulated, unlicensed sources without a prescription. fda prescription drugs should on be obtained with a valid prescription and used under the prescriber's supervision or based on their direction.

how can you figure out if the pharmacy online is legitimate or fraudulent? >> if they fill a prescription without a prescription, that should be a clear red flag to any patient. it's still difficult. some of these are really good. >> reporter: you just don't know what's in these drugs that you're getting from these unlicensed online sources. now, eli lily is suing some compounding pharmacies, med spas and other entities to protect their brand and their customers. while it's sometimes legal for licensed pharmacies to sell compounded versions of these drugs, a legitimate online pharmacy may offer them a little less than the branded ones, but an unauthorized illegal one will have the price way below market place. that's a red flag. the good news is the fda has their be safe rx, a way to use their website to fine out if an online pharmacy is safe. the board of pharmacy has safe.pharmacy as a reference, too. guys, you're injecting these

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.

le shared with just us that they are releasing a super deluxe edition of the sound of music soundtrack. why is this special? for so many reasons. the oscar winning movie has some of the most iconic songs of our time. there were, we just learned, dozens of songs recorded for the film that were never released until now. the album will feature 40 previously unreleased tracks and 11 never before heard alternate takes of songs we know and love. why is that interesting? he recorded versions of the songs, but then they decided they were going with a professional singer for the movie. that is not him singing in the movie, but on this, you will hear christopher plummer. i think he was very much involved in that decision. don't feel bad. i think it was his decision. julie andrews was so good that he was like, do you know what? let's bring in the big guns. >> unreleased songs. >> it's exciting, right?

it's just so iconic. i remember watching it with my family. for folks of our generation. >> just makes you want to sing. >> i almost did.

us for an exclusive preview. i'm gonna walk over here and say hello to the man himself. >> oh, lara. it is so good to meet you. >> it is so good to meet you. everybody has been so excited to meet you. we have a lot to talk about. >> we do. >> where did they tell you to sit? >> here. >> then i'll sit here. so let's dish. let me give the back story first. you had an incredible marriage to your high school sweetheart. you were married for 43 beautiful years before she passed unexpectedly. >> yes. >> that was 2017. >> right. >> you and your kids were watching separately, because they're adults, the bachelor. the advertisement came up. they said, dad, you should do it. >> we were texting back and forth through the seasons kind of finding the person that we wanted to follow or make fun of. when that ad came up, they instantly said, dad, this is for you. you should do this. so i remember trying to memorize the website to go to.

okay. the next morning i actually filled out online the questionnaire. >> the rest is history. >> it took off. >> yeah. i mean, i can't even imagine what the eperience has been like. can you share what has this journey been like? >> that first day is burned into my memory forever. it was so exciting meeting 22 beautiful women all of different backgrounds, different interests and so forth. every single person that got out of the limo was an exciting adventure. one of the arrivals didn't happen by limo, so there is a little variety in there. >> they did that thing they do. >> yeah, they did that thing. >> yeah. there's always someone on a horse or something. that's fun. what about the drama? we know from the bachelor an bachelorette, these shows can have some drama. did you experience that as the golden bachelor?

>> just on the periphery, and i think any time you have 22 people in an enclosed environment, somebody is going to annoy someone else. i am aware there was a very minor incident. i think someone was trying to be apologetic and excited about a date they had with me and they were talking about it. somebody took it the wrong way. i think it was a minor incident. >> but you an i were chatting briefly backstage. you said there's something wonderfully evolved about women between 60 and 75. that was the ages of the women you had to choose from. >> you start with these women. they are supportive of each other. they are so confident. they're elegant women. they were, as a group, i think the sweetest women i have ever met in my life. >> well, let's take a look. >> i'm feeling a little anxious and nervous. not going to lie. >> what's making you nervous? >> i'm going to meet the woman of my dreams very shortly.

i hope i recognize her, number one. it's huge. >> i gotta tell you, i'm so excited for you here tonight. big part of this is it's all about hope and everybody having hope again. >> it is hope. it's the belief that we can still do what we want to do at our age. >> it's never too late. >> it's never too late. >> i got chills. so, so, so? did you find love? >> well, if i didn't, would i be sitting here smiling from ear to ear? [ laughter ] >> i can't wait. >> i can't tell you i did though. >> i know. we know the drill. but we have to ask. >> right. >> however it works out, i hope you're happy. >> thanks. >> thanks for being the first in what i think is a wonderful series idea. >> thank you. >> so many people are like, yes, let's find love. >> very exciting. thank you. >> we hope you'll come back. >> i would love to. >> with that special someone. gary, we'll be watching. the golden bachelor premieres
