our chief foreign correspondent ian pannell starts us off in israel. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. we are in a kibbutz one mile from the border with gaza. on the morning of october 7th, hamas militants came in here on a rampage. they burned, they destroyed, they killed and they kidnapped. as a reminder of how we got to where we are, lots of discussions on going about humanitarian aid getting into gaza as this war drags on. overnight president biden brokering a deal to deliver aid to millions of palestinians trapped in gaza. the president saying egypt will now open a crossing along gaza's southern border allowing a limited number of trucks filled with humanitarian aid to reach the millions of people looking to escape the bombing. >> i wanted to make sure there was a vehicle, a mechanism, that this could happen quickly. this has been a very blunt negotiation i have had.

if hamas doesn't let it get through, just confiscates it, then it's gonna end. >> reporter: because the roads are damaged by israeli bombing, the aid may not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. a source familiar with the effort telling abc news eight convoys and personnel from the u.s. embassy in cairo are as close to the crossing as possible and are ready to send aid across. the promise of relief is too late for the rising casualties in gaza. more than 3,400 killed since a massacre in israel by hamas who murdered 1,400 and took more than 200, including americans, hostage. israel vowing to eradicate hamas, retaliating with thousands of air strikes. just hours ago, palestinians seen digging desperately to rescue children buried in the rubble of their bedroom, bombed as they slept. anger and protests throughout the region after that catastrophic explosion into a gaza hospital which reportedly killed hundreds of civilians according to palestinian health authorities.

hamas claims the hospital was hit by an israeli air strike, but israel said it was hit by a waywar rocket fired by islamic militants. video shows the moment of the blast. amid growing questions about what's happened and who's to blame. >> what we saw here was a bright fireball, which is closer to what you would see out of a residual fuel out of say a rocket that hadn't finished its full time of flight. >> reporter: the israeli saying they've reviewed intelligence and aerial footage that proves islamic jihad was responsible for the attack. the u.s. is conducting its own investigation but backs israeli analysis that it wasn't one of their strikes. >> based on the information we have seen today, it appears the result of an errant rocket fired from a terrorist group in gaza. >> reporter: but an nsc official telling abc news the u.s. still hasn't determined if palestinian islamic jihad was at fault. pro palestinian demonstrations erupting around the world. some angry at america's support for israel, with massive crowds

gathering outside of u.s. embassies. in beirut, lebanon, one protester attaching a palestinian flag to the u.s. embassy there. and on this street, amid the chaos, abc's mola lenghi. >> reporter: as you can see, protesters pushing back against security forces, started by throwing rocks, launching fireworks. it's been a constant push and pull between security forces and the protesters who are trying to push up against the american embassy. they say they are outraged at israel's bombardment of palestinian citizens and the u.s. support for it. >> reporter: the uk now advising its citizens in lebanon to leave now, while commercial options remain available, advising people not to travel to lebanon at all amid fear that the conflict will spread. overnight the idf releasing this video, saying they attacked military targets along the lebanese border retaliating against attacks by the iranian backed hezbollah.

balancing strong support of israel with a message of restraint. is it possible to destroy hamas without a large scale ground invasion? >> look, george. i think the president was carrying three primary messages when he went to the region. one was, obviously, our continued show of solidarity and support for the israeli people in this time of national trauma and crisis and response. second, a message of resolve to anyone who might seek to take advantage of this moment, anyone hostile to israel. they should not make that mistake. third, a message of commitment to the civilians caught up in this. also for his messaging that this conflict must be conducted consistent with principles of international law and international humanitarian law. >> that's what i'm asking. is it possible to destroy hamas without israel going in? >> we're going to see this play out over the course of the coming days. this is an extremely challenging place to conduct military operations.

it's densely populated, more than 2 million people in a relatively small area. hamas, as you well know, makes its mission to hide among civilian population. not trying to minimize casualties amongst their own people, but in many ways assuring they are going to take place. one of the things we are going to be doing is consulting with israeli officials, with israeli military commanders and making sure they have a clear plan to do this in a way that minimizes the loss of civilian life. >> what's the latest on the hostages? is qatar making any progress in getting some of them out? >> we're obviously engaged in intensive diplomatic activity related to the hostages. but also have sent a number of experts to the region to consult with israeli who are involved in hostage extraction. i don't want to get ahead of any of those conversations. these are the most sensitive things that we are working on. and the president has said it is a top priority for us to get as many of those hostages out as soon as possible as we absolutely can. >> we're going to hear from the president tonight on the wars in israel and ukraine. is one of his messages to

prepare the united states for a possible war with iran? >> the president is not going to be focused on that message. what the president is going to be doing is laying out for the american people a description of this moment that we are in. a crisis in ukraine that has been going on now more than a year and a half. an emerging crisis with our close friend and ally in israel. and connect that national movement to american lives back here and why this is a moment in which the administration needs to respond and we believe congress as well needs to act to make sure that we have the resources to be able to continue our leadership. >> john finer, thank you very much for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> michael? >> thank you, george. now to the latest on the battle for house speaker. jim jordan failing to secure enough votes on his second try. our senior congressional correspondent rachel scott is tracking this on capitol hill. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: michael, good morning. day 16, no speaker of the house. congressman jim jordan is losing even more ground. some republican holdouts say they are facing threats, a sign of just how hostile this fight

has become. this morning congressman jim jordan facing growing opposition after republicans blocked his bid for speaker again. >> a speaker has not been elected. >> reporter: this time he lost even more support. 22 republicans opposed on the second ballot. he can only afford to lose four. to be clear, you're staying in this race? >> yep. >> reporter: you're not considering dropping out? >> nope. >> reporter: jordan ready to fight, but some republicans not budging. >> this is not a give me this or else. this is a united front that has collectively decided that he's not the best choice for speaker of the house. >> reporter: those holdouts facing increasing pressure. congressman don bacon said he's been flooded with calls, his wife even getting hit with menacing messages. >> my wife has been getting anonymous texts and anonymous phone calls to try to compel her to force me to change my vote, which is wrong. that's crossing boundaries. >> reporter: congress woman mary miller meeks revealed she's

getting a barrage of threatening calls after withdrawing her support for jordan. with the house still paralyzed even some of jordan's supporters say it may be time to start considering other options. >> the world is burning and i don't think many people we represent want us spending days upon days deciding who sits in the chair. >> reporter: one of those options, giving temporary speaker congressman patrick mchenry more power. so the house can get back to work. mchenry not interested. >> i am putting in my vote for jim jordan. >> reporter: jordan not giving in. >> we proved we can get over 200 people to support us. we just got to get a few more. >> reporter: the house is set to reconvene in a few hours. overnight jim jordan condemning threats against his colleagues insisting it's imperative for republicans to come together, george. >> rachel, thank you very much. now to detroit where casino workers have joined autoworkers and others on the picket line. it's the latest in a wave of union strikes. alex perez is tracking it all. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, george. no doubt this has been the year

of strikes. casino workers are the latest to hit the picket lines. it's the first time they've gone on strike. some 3,700 casino workers are on strike. the group is composed of five unions that includes dealers, custodians, engineers and more. collectively the unions say they are calling for higher wages, retirement security and other benefits and argue that while casino revenue has reached record highs and surpassed prepandemic levels, compensation has not kept up. casino workers now join autoworker, hospitality workers and actors who are also on strike. in fact, this year there have been 317 strikes across the country involving some 450,000 workers. for now those casinos remain open with limited staffing, but it's unclear just how long this strike will last. guys? >> alex, thank you very much. lot of frustration out there. we're going to turn to the wnba finals.

unravelling years of mystery about why and how he killed the alabama teen. a warning this may be difficult to listen to. this morning a stunning admission nearly two decades after natalee holloway went missing. jordan van der sloot, the main suspect in her 2005 disappearance, now heard in his own words, confessing he killed her. >> i was scared. i didn't know what to do. i decide to take her and put her into the ocean. >> reporter: the confession, part of a plea deal in a federal extortion case. van der sloot describing what he said happened the night natalee vanished on a high school graduation trip in aruba after she was last seen leaving a bar with him, saying he attacked her and she fought back, kicking him in the crotch. he said he then kicked her extremely hard in the face. >> she was laying down unconscious, possibly even dead, but definitely unconscious. >> reporter: he then said he bludgeoned her, dragging her body into the ocean.

>> i walked up to my knees into the ocean and pushed her off into the sea. yeah. after that i get out. i walk home. >> reporter: natalee's mother beth telling abc news the confession confirms what she long believed. >> jordan van der sloot is no longer the suspect in natalee's disappearance. he is the killer. >> reporter: beth holloway saying he took a polygraph test after lying what happened for years. >> the real key, the polygraph test, is the art of the polygrapher. maybe he told the polygrapher and probably an agent or detective that was in the room exactly what happened on that beach in 2005. >> reporter: the confession, part of van der sloot's guilty plea for extortion and wire fraud, admitting he demanded $250,000 from beth in 2010 in exchange for information about her daughter. a judge sentencing him to 20 years behind bars to serve in

conjunction with his 28-year sentence for murdering another woman in peru. van der sloot apologizing to the holloway family in court saying, i am not the same person today as i was then. i have given my heart to jesus christ. but natalee's father dave releasing a statement saying van der sloot is evil personified. beth holloway saying their family's nightmare is finally over. >> it is a very victorious day to reach this point in a long journey. i did what i had to do as a mother to find answers as to what happened to my daughter. >> reporter: natalee's dad saying van der sloot saying that he tortured their family and ask that parents hug their children today in natalee's memory. >> let's bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams. even though we heard that confession, despite that, he cannot be charged with murder. >> that's right. i will tell you, that's the first time that i have heard him in his own words.

it is just chilling. for those of us who have followed this case for this long to finally hear jordan van der sloot, in his own word, admit to exactly what he did gave me chills as i listened to that. with regard to your legal question, this occurred in aruba. in the united states there is no statute of limitations for murder. the crime occurred in aruba, so it happens under aruban law. i have talked to very frustrated people who worked on this case who are frustrated at the fact that aruba has a 12 year statute of limitation. that's why van der sloot doesn't have much to lose in coming forward and making a confession like this. >> where will he serve the majority of the sentence? >> likely in peru. he was extradited to the united states to deal with the judicial proceedings. he'll now have that 20 year sentence to serve concurrently with the 28 year.

if he gets out early in peru, he would come back here to serve the remainder of the 20 years. he's already served 11 up to this point. >> it's pretty obvious why he agreed to this deal. >> yeah. in the end the ability to serve concurrently and know he can't be charged with murder for what he said, i think this ends up being a comparative legal win for him. listening to that. >> even hearing that word win. >> i know. i know. i'm sure this was a calculation for him, as he's done many times in his life. >> okay, dan abram, thank you very much. netflix, the streaming giant hiked its prices after cracking down on pass word sharing. rebecca jarvis is here with what it means for the world of streaming. >> hey, george, yeah. and when many other streamers had hiked prices, netflix was the only holdout. but now they are following suit. that basic plan at netflix jumps $2 to $12. premium goes to $23. they are keeping the ad supported tier at $7. over the last year the cost of

major ad free streaming services overall have gone up by about 25%. part of the objective is to push more cost conscious consumers to that cheaper ad supported plan. that's ironic because that is exactly what tv used to be. george, here we are, back to the future. >> looks like this crackdown on pass word sharing is paying off. what does it mean for other streamers? >> it is absolutely paying off for netflix. they added 9 million, almost 9 million subscribers between july and september because of the crackdown. analysts believe other streamers as a result are definitely going to follow suit. overall, you can imagine prices going up and more crackdown on all of those subscriber services. >> rebecca jarvis, thank you very much. >> the party is over. all right, rebecca. coming up next the urgent warning about frightening imposter scams. whit johnson has more on that. good morning, whit. >> reporter: hey, robin. good morning. these imposter scams are terrifying and increasingly believable using artificial intelligence to recreate a loved one's voice pleading for help, saying they

( ♪ ) we're back with the urgent warning about imposter scams that use ai to mimic the voice of a loved one, saying they are in danger and need your help. now there's new advice on how to protect yourself and your family. whit johnson is here with that story. whit, you got quite the scare

while looking into this? >> absolutely, robin. this was a real eye opener. we'll show you in a moment. for months we've been tracking these scams using artificial intelligence. then we saw this story in "the washington post." some creative ways to stop the scammers, including something as simple as a family code word. this morning the innovative tools to help families stay vigilant amid a rise in ai voice scams. criminals cloning a victim's voice using artificial intelligence and then using that voice to commit fraud. >> they called. they synthesized the voice of a loved one saying something like, i have been in a car accident and need money. or i have been arrested. it will always be, i need money. >> reporter: earlier this year cyber security firm check point showed me how it was done, to make it sound like i had been kidnapped. to make it clear, this is not a real call. this is me, whit.

listen carefully. i have been abducted and i'm being held in a basement, tied up in the dark. please, follow their instructions. do not notify authorities. >> you look scared, whit. >> reporter: i am. that's very believable. >> these scammers now can have a conversation with you in real time. >> there's tools where you can type it in and use your voice. >> reporter: catching a fake in the heat of the moment can be extremely difficult says cyber security expert dan woods. >> think about the stress that you're under when you think your loved one is calling you and telling you about being in an accident. suddenly that stress causes you to make judgments you wouldn't ordinarily make. >> reporter: to protect yourself, woods says families should create a code word or code question only they know to help confirm the caller's identity. >> think about a memory that you both share. i can say, okay, son. what position did you play in

football? what's he gonna say? even under stress, he knows he doesn't play football. he'll say, i don't play football. a fraudster might say quarterback. >> reporter: leading to the second tip, be skeptical. doing this can slow things down long enough to make direct contact with your family member another way. and third, if the caller asks for payment in cryptocurrency or gift cards, that's a major red flag. >> a rational calm analysis of the situation would reveal that what they are being asked to do is unreasonable and unrealistic, but many times they do it anyway because of the stress of the situation. >> reporter: so here's what to do if you become a victim of one of these scams. contact the ftc right away. report the fraud on their website or call their response center. then clearly explain what happened, like who the caller was pretending to be and whether you gave them money. this information goes into an

important database to track these crimes available to 2,800 law enforcement agencies across the country. guys? >> scary. all right. thank you so much for that, whit. next we have a good old fashion texas showdown. lara, you gonna break it down for us? >> i am. you got it. >> we'll be right back. >> we'll be brig right bac on a chromebook. which is why thousands of schools like the fairfield-suisun unified school district switched to google tools for education. so they can focus on teaching and 22,000 students can focus on learning, knowing that their data is secure.

>> what home buyers need to consider when it comes to refinancing with mortgage rates hitting 8% for the first time since 2000. >> let's look at the top stories breaking at 8 starting with president biden home from his trip to israel after accomplishing a critical goal, getting humanitarian aid into gaza for the millions of civilians trapped there. let's go back to our chief foreign correspondent ian pannell there in israel. good morning again, ian. >> reporter: yeah. good morning. hard to convey the true horror of what took place october 7th. we reported on so many stories over the last 13 days about what began as a horrific attack in places like this spread into a wider potentially regional conflict. in the middle of this are the people who were here living peacefully who were slaughtered inside their own homes. meanwhile discussions are on going to try to bring humanitarian aid to the people inside gaza. overnight president biden brokering a deal to deliver aid

to millions of palestinians trapped in gaza. the president saying egypt will now open a crossing along gaza's southern border, allowing a limited number of trucks filled with humanitarian aid to reach the millions of people looking to escape the bombing. >> i wanted to make sure there was a vehicle mechanism that this could happen quickly. if hamas doesn't let it get through and confiscates it, it's going to end. >> reporter: but because the roads into gaza are damaged by israeli bombing, the aid may not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. a source familiar with the efforts telling abc news eight convoys and personnel from the u.s. embassy in cairo are as close to the crossing as possible and are ready to send aid across. but the promise of relief is too late for the rising casualties in gaza. more than 3,400 killed since the massacre in israel by ha marques who murdered more than 1,400 and took more than 200, including americans, hostage. israel vowing to eradicate hamas, retaliating with

thousands of air strikes. just hours ago, palestinians digging to rescue children in the rubble of their bedroom, bombed as they slept. anger and protest throughout the region after that catastrophic explosion in a gaza hospital. hamas claims the hospital was hit by an israeli air strike, but israel says it was hit by a wayward rocket fired by islamic militants. israel saying they've reviewed intelligence that proves the group palestinian islamic jihad was responsible for the attack. the u.s. is conducting its own investigation that backs israeli analysis that it wasn't one of their strikes. >> based on the information we've seen today it appears to result of an errant rocket group by a terror group in gaza. >> reporter: pro palestinian demonstrations erupting around the world. some angry as america's support for israel, with massive crowds gathering outside of u.s. embassies. we keep talking about these fears that this conflict could spread.

we're seeing increased clashes up in the north on the border with lebanon. president biden sending a very clear message though to any country or organization that if you're thinking of getting involved here, simply don't. george? >> a wider war the big fear. thank you very much. a milestone for mortgage rates. a 30 year fixed rate loan is up to 8% for the first time in more than two decades. rebecca jarvis on what home buyers should watch for. >> it is tough out there with the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage now 8%. that is the highest since 2000. take a look at this chart. this huge jump in just the last two years. in october of 2022, a 30-year fixed rate mortgage was 3%. put that in real terms. two years ago a $400,000 home with a 20% down payment would have run you about $1,350 a month. at today's rates that same home is going to cost you $2,350. that is $1,000 more every single month. as a result, adjustable rate mortgages have become increasingly popular.

they start with that low teaser rate. right now it's about $6.5%, 7%. then they reset. a 5/1 arm has a fixed rate for five years then resets every year after that. what's important to keep in mind here is that there are no guarantees that the rate goes lower when it resets. if interest rates go up, you automatically pay more. another thing to keep in mind, renting might make sense here. use the calculators online. but also keep in mind those rental prices have not dropped that much because people are just getting priced out of the housing market overall. michael? >> rebecca, always a lot to think about. thank you very much for that. now to a gma health alert. a study finds a strong link between eating red meat and a person's chance of developing type ii diabetes. our chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton joins us with more. doc, break it down for us. >> talking about lamb, beef, pork, sausage, hot dogs, burgers. this was a big study over 200,000 people followed for 30 years published in the american

journal of clinical nutrition. basically found a direct link and association. didn't show cause and effect, but the more red meat consumed, the higher risk of developing type ii diabetes over that time. >> wow. you have a master's degree in nutrition. is there a way to prevent or offset this? >> that was the silver lining in this study, michael. they did find consuming as little as half a serving a day of legumes and nuts dramatically lowered that risk, 30% or more. know your risk. if you have a family history and had diabetes in pregnancy, you are at higher risk. getting screened with a simple blood test. everyone should do that regardless of their weight. keeping your weight in a healthy range is key. swapping out proteins. we all love our occasional burger. but fish, plant based protein healthier. and exercise. every little bit counts, including walking. so getting those steps in.

>> thank you, doc. always great to have you here. thank you. >> appreciate you saying we can occasionally have a burger. >> occasionally.

the pop icon sent them to mortification. >> taylor talking to dad. you already know. you know dad like i know dad. >> which is he shouldn't be talking to taylor swift. [ laughter ] >> this is a terrifying conversation. i felt terrible. >> reporter: who knows what they talked about. as millions of young couples nod their head and sigh with agreement. ed's loving son couldn't imagine that convo. >> he's probably saying i have taken all of your cd's out at the local library and i have started to burn them into my computer. >> reporter: but what if you meet the parents when you aren't a stratospheric super star. >> anything you need, just ask. >> that's right. >> thanks. >> reporter: one couple recalling their initial encounter. >> i was nervous. he wanted us to fly on his plane. i was like, i have never done this before. >> i took one look at her and spoke to her for about ten

seconds. the more i spent time with her, the more i realize these guys really are a great match. >> reporter: one expert's advice for handling the introduction? prepare, and ask about your beloved's childhood. >> put the parents in a good frame of mind to go back and reminisce and tell you funny stories about their child. every parent loves to do that. >> reporter: from papa kelce, the family story telling super star, his sons say, to father figures from pop culture and real life. are dads really so scary? maybe we dads and our topics of conversation can be a little too much. come to think of it, i have got a long and involved story from the 1970s that's all about that. george?

>> we a >> we are back with our gma book club pick for october. "the list." you can scan the qr code to buy the book. 2020 co-anchor deborah roberts sat down with the author.

>> yomi wants us all to consider a complex question. can you believe everything you learn on the internet? it's at the core of her first novel "the list." in it, a feminist journalist discovers an anonymous list circling online of men who behaved abusively, including her fiance. >> it's about instant culture an how, i suppose, we haven't reckoned with the unchecked power of the internet. simultaneously the internet is a huge tool to give voice to the voiceless and speak truth to power. >> reporter: i caught up with her at silver lining lounge in manhattan to talk about her provocative book, which centers around the instagram famous couple ala and michael. ala struggling with who and what to believe as the clock ticks down to their wedding day. you challenge us to look not just at the lives of the women

who have accused, but at the men who have been accused. >> right. >> and whether or not those people all should be lumped into the same category. >> definitely. ala, being a journalist, someone who has written articles that look at men that are accused of similar things to michael. now she is attached to a man that's been accused of abuse. that puts her in a unique position. we see what the internet does, build people up. but also how quickly that can be ripped away and how much delight people can take in seeing someone else's life go wrong and fall apart online. >> i think it's a book really for our time. you take a very hard look at social media, romance, assault, online gossip. why do you think that is resonating so much with people who are reading this book? >> i think because there are lots of conversations about all the things you just mentioned.

many of them are very polarizing in black and white. the meeting and how that unfolds online. i think this book allows space for questions and discussions. >> with writing that jumps off the page, no surprise "the list" was at the center of a big hollywood bidding war and is now set to hit the small screen. what's your role? >> i'm executive producing it somehow. >> that will be something new. >> very very new. yeah. >> and there's the book's jaw dropping twist, which will leave readers and soon to be viewers shell shocked. >> i knew i wanted it to be surprising. i want people to finally get to that very mind blowing last chapter. >> it was mind blowing. >> thank you. i'm glad it was. i hope that it will just, again, lead to questions about what we believe and why. >> yep. robin and i both agree, it was mind blowing. this has been a whirlwind time for the british writer who recently spent a few weeks here in the u.s. and is working on a second novel while casting this tv project. by the way, i pressed her about

her wish list for starring roles, and like any good producer, she's pretty tight lipped, guys. no names there. "the list" is out now. robin, you enjoyed it? >> i read it in like two days. that last chapter, you don't see it coming. >> see? i told ya. [ laughter ] >> it sounds amazing. >> i need to read this book. okay. let's go to ginger. >> so reno, sacramento, could see daily record highs today. take a note from this bear. find some water and chill. let's get a check closer to home. >> oh, good housekeeping just came out with its annual best toy awards.
