juju? >> mary bruce, thank you. the president's speech came after a u.s. war ship took action to defend israel intercepting multiple cruise missiles and drones off the coast of yemen amid fears of a wider war. our chief global affairs anchor martha raddatz is live from the red sea. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, juju. we are right on the shores of the red sea. u.s. war ships are just south of us. those missiles from yemen were aimed in this direction, but a u.s. guided missile destroyer took no chances. they shot them down. this morning rising tensions after a u.s. navy destroyer shot down three cruise missiles and several drones launched by iranian backed rebels in yemen. for the first time the u.s. taking military action to defense israel. the pentagon saying the missiles were launched from yemen northward, potentially towards israel.

>> we cannot say for certain what these missiles and drones were targeting, but they were launched from yemen heading north along the red sea potentially towards targets in the red sea. and israel. >> reporter: these missile launches come as the u.s. bolsters fire power in the region, a second strike group already joining one in the mediterranean. additional fighter aircraft also being sent. all meant as a deterrent. >> by posturing these u.s. naval assets in the region, we aim to send a strong message intended to deter a wider conflict, to bolster regional stability and of course to make it clear that we will protect and defend our national security interests. >> reporter: the huti rebel leader had just warned the u.s. last week against intervening in the hamas/israeli conflict, threatening missiles and drone strikes. the u.s. of course hoping this is a deterrent, this use of force, but clearly there is no guarantee. rebecca?

>> no guarantees with those stakes so very high. martha, thank you. we turn to the humanitarian aid and the negotiations over moving much needed aid to the people inside gaza. chief foreign correspondent ian pannell is in israel with the latest. good morning, ian. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. contentious is absolutely the right word. we came here to get things done and we got them done. those are the words of president biden aboard air force one shortly after taking off from tel aviv after that seven-hour stopover where he met prime minister netanyahu and the members of the cabinet. he touted this agreement that had been reached together with the president of egypt to allow humanitarian aid to cross that border. but almost 48 hours after that was announced, those border gates still remain closed, the aid stuck on the egyptian side, and the people in gaza desperately in need. this morning signs that the land invasion of gaza could be imminent as the border crossing from egypt still remains closed

despite u.s. promises it would open the desperately needed humanitarian aid. a source familiar with negotiations to open the border with egypt telling abc news they are now hitting many road block, saying the damage to the crossing caused by israeli air strikes is taking longer to repair, and the u.n. estimates 200 trucks with 300,000 tons of aid wait near the border. the u.s. is still hopeful though that the rafa gate will open sometime today. the push for gaza coming as the situation grows ever more dire. as many as 1 million people have been displaced. the territory, now in its tenth day without electricity, gazans cut off from fuel, food and water normally supplied through israel. gaza under siege and under fire from israeli's aerial onslaught. a section of one of the oldest churches in the region being used to shelter civilians reduced to rubble seen in this video circulating online.

in the south of gaza where the israeli military told palestinians to flee for their safety, a massive crater gouged into the ground. rescuers digging out the dead with their bare hands. and at a nearby hospital, dozens taking cover amid the sound of explosions. and close to a different hospital, israel striking the same target here twice. the who now reporting 17 hospitals have been damaged in total, four no longer operational, with the u.n. saying those that are still open are at 150% capacity. doctors working around the clock sometimes using flashlights on their phones to see. 3,700 killed in gaza since the start of israel's retaliation for the brutal hamas massacre. at least 1400 murdered in israel and more than 200 hostages taken, including americans. now the israeli defense minister promising the troops they'll

indication of any as to how intractable this is. they can't even agree to get aid across the border. the explanation is there are hole, pot holes in the road that need fixing. it's been days since we heard that. that still doesn't seem to be resolved. one other thing to tell you. we expected protests after friday prayers in a number of countries around the region. looks like large protests. in jordan, in lebanon, in iraq, in malaysia, in indonesia, in many countries. a lot of anger about what's taking place here in gaza and really at the moment, no relief for anyone inside. juju. >> tensions high across the region. thank you. as we heard the president argue in that rare oval office address while the conflicts in israel and ukraine are very different, hamas and putin share the same goal of annihilating democracy. this comes as the largest number of russian casualties in a single day since the war began have been reported. patrick revel is in kyiv this morning for us.

good morning, patrick. >> reporter: good morning, juju. yeah, as president biden spoke some of the heaviest fighting in months is raging here in ukraine. ukrainian military are claiming russia suffered its largest number of casualties in a sinle day since the invasion. russia is waging a major offensive in the east. the president's speech was an important boost to ukrainians here. many are deeply worried about u.s. support fading. ukrainian officials say if u.s. stops, ukraine can start to face ammunition shortages within months. the ukrainian mp telling us they hope congress will heed the president's call and approve long term funding that will push russia back. george? >> okay, patrick. thanks. now to a search for speaker of the house. third vote scheduled for jim jordan but he doesn't appear to be any closer to having enough votes amid fighting among house republicans. senior congressional correspondent rachel scott is tracking the chaos on capitol hill. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: good morning. this chaotic fight has drag dz on for more than two weeks but

this morning congressman jim jordan planning to take his bid to the floor once again even if he does not have the votes. this morning congressman jim jordan struggling to find a path forward. >> the fastest way to get to work for the american people is to elect a speaker so the house can be open and we can get things done. >> reporter: jordan was hoping to buy himself time to pick up more support pitching a plan to republicans to give the temporary speaker, congressman patrick mchenry, more power to get the house going again. that didn't go over well. >> hell no, no. no. it's a giant mistake. >> reporter: the three-hour meeting broke into a screaming match. at one point mchenry even threatened to quit. should you have more power? >> the goal is to take our speaker nominee and elect that person as speaker of the house. that's my goal. >> reporter: jordan reversed course. >> we made the pitch to members on the resolution as a way to lower the temperature. we decided that wasn't where we're going go. >> reporter: he left the meeting vowing to press on.

if you don't get assurances, from any of the holdouts, will you stay in still? then meeting with the holdouts behind closed doors, gripping a paper with the words what is the real reason scribbled on it. the pressure campaign to make those holdouts flip has backfired, some now getting death threats. >> those sort of uncalled for. >> reporter: jordan has condemned those threats against his colleagues. it is unclear how this fight ends. even some supporters say if he does not get votes today, start reassessing his bid, rebecca. >> okay, rachel. thank you. we turn now to a major development in the georgia election case. one of donald trump's former lawyers, sydney powell, has pleaded guilty and is cooperating with the prosecution. our senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky has more on that. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: rebecca, good morning. sydney powell is supposed to go on trial today with jury selection, but at the last minute she pleaded guilty and

venezuela. even pointing a finger at the country's former dictator, hugo chavez, who is dead. >> this was exported from venezuela by mr. chavez. this is the consummate foreign interference in our election. >> reporter: powell pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor involving a scheme to access voting equipment in coffee county where some co-defendants were seen on tape entering the election office and allegedly tampering with electronic ballot markers. >> are you pleading guilty because you agree there's a factual basis? there are enough facts to support this plea of guilty? >> i do. >> reporter: powell must serve six years probation, pay a $6,000 fine and write a letter of apology to the citizens of georgia. guys, an attorney for trump insists her plea deal will be favorable to trump's defense. guys? >> we shall see.ok thanks very much. coming up travis king now facing charges, including desertion, assault and more. >> the britney spears bombshell. new details from her memoir leaking. how she said the conservatorship

some of the songs we all get like this one. obviously, that's in there at number 20. and this one "be my baby." of course, the ronettes. they come in at number 19. beyonce right there with "crazy in love." and "september" by earth wind and fire. that comes in at 16. that all makes perfect sense. i dare say some should be higher. top ten has a lot of people talking. of course the beatles are in there with "i wanna hold your hand."

home sales dropped 2% in september marking the slowest monthly pace of sales since october 2010 during the foreclosure crisis. now, a key reason for this slowdown is those mortgage rates at a 23-year high. that's making it a lot more expensive to buy a new home. with the average 30-year fixed mortgage at 8%, a $400,000 home loan cost you $1,000 more every month today than it did two years ago when rates were at 3%. all this means homeowners who locked in low rates don't want to move so there are not enough homes on the market for all the buyers. that is keeping prices high. plus for now at least, the federal reserve is signaling it could be a while before interest rates come down. typically if you are trying to buy a home, you want to try to set aside 20% of the home's value for a down payment. but a sign of just how tricky this housing market is, especially for first time buyer, 30% of homes that sold in september were all cash offers. juju. >> fascinating. thanks, elizabeth.

now to a new study just released this morning finding women who followed a heart healthy diet having redeuced risk of cognitive issues later in life. erielle is here with more. >> reporter: doctors have been touting the dash diet short for dietary approaches to stop hypertension for years now. but now a new study of thousands of women over more than 30 years showed following dash could reduce the risk of self-reported cognitive problems such as memory loss. data showing women who stuck with the dash diet in mid life were about 17% less likely to report memory loss and other cognitive decline decades later. the diet consists of higher levels of plant based foods and lower saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar and designed to lower your blood pressure. so high blood pressure especially mid life has been shown to be a risk factor for dementia. women make up more than two-thirds of those diagnosed with the disease. so the big take away from this study is what you eat now could help you avoid cognitive decline later in life. it pays to eat healthy, guys. >> sure does. thank you very much.

and that validation, i'm going to get emotional. that validation meant so much to me. >> reporter: the 25-year-old conservationist saying she started feeling unexplainable pain, fatigue, cramping and nausea in her early teen, but doctors could not tell her why, often dismissing her. >> i was tested for cancer. i had mri's. i had ultrasounds. i had ct scans. just you name it, i was tested for everything. the scariest thing was that there were no answers. >> reporter: the daughter of the late crocodile hunter stever win, living with the pain as she won "dancing with the stars" got married and started a family. >> along my pregnancy journey, i would often have times where i thought i was miscarrying because i would have severe, unexplained pain. i would think i was losing our beautiful daughter. we're so lucky to have grace. so many women can't fall

pregnant because of problems with endometriosis. >> reporter: it can cause pain, infertility in addition to severe cramping, painful intimacy, scar tissue. the condition is diagnosed when cells normally found in the lining of the uterus are found outside of the uterus. bindi finally under going to surgery that finally confirmed her diagnosis. >> my health now is night and day. it took awhile to recover because it was such an intensive surgery. they took out 37 lesions. and now i'm a completely new person. i'm actually able to go on a walk with my family. i'm able to do the conservation work. i am able to be there for our daughter finally. i'm able to run around with her, to play with her, to have fun and revel in her joy. i hope that other people will find comfort in my story, that they will find that maybe my

story that resonates. that maybe if you've gone through undiagnosed, unbelievable pain you will be able to say, hey that girl has symptoms similar to mine. maybe this is what's wrong with me. >> and bindi with a message for any woman going through this. hold on to hope and fight for yourself. she says while it's a hard road, you can find answers and you don't have to live with this pain forever. she says so much more needs to be done to educate people about endometriosis. >> such an important message. thanks for bringing it to us. we turn now to a new warning overnight from the american academy of pediatrics about questionable practices used to market products labeled toddler formula. nice to see you, dr. jen. here to break it down is our chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton. nice to see you, dr. jen. we actually were a little confused by this when we were making the switch from formula

to milk. what is this saying? >> first of all, this is really an alert to increase awareness about possible questionable promotion and marketing of an entity that may not be based in nutrition or medical science. and may potentially cause harm. there's a concern that if parents or care givers of children under 12 see this type of marketing and this space, they could choose these products for an infant that could have nutritional harm. and for older children, they are often loaded with fat, sugar, calories and there may not be a need for it. >> and we are seeing toddler formula. sales of these are up 158% in the last year. not all these meals are created equal. can you break that down? >> yes. i think it's important to understand, when you look at this space from a nutritional standpoint we have to be very clear. cows milk is recommended for children 1 year of age and older, of course barring any allergy or special medical or nutritional need.

children of this age really need a precise and good combination of the macro nutrient, fat, protein, carb. soy and almond milk are not the same even though they are very popular with adults. again, for this age group, they are not the same thing. we have a saying in medicine, pediatric, kids are not just little adults. you can't extrapolate drinking soy milk when you're talking about 1-year-old. >> they are not little adults or little computers. unfortunately. >> right. >> but as a parent, and so many parents i know are -- there's just a lot out there, right? you want to make sure your kid is on the right diet, on the right plan. what does the american academy of pediatrics recommend? >> when you look at their recommendations, i think pediatricians are on the forefront of educating parents about this. 0 to 6 months exclusive breast-feeding if possible, or infant formula. 6 to 12 months a combination of that, starting to integrate purified soft foods. 12 months and older, aside from an allergy, cows milk and a

varied diet. if you have questions, talk to your pediatrician. that's what they're there for. >> dr. jen, we appreciate you. thank you. time for pop news with lara. >> thank you, rebecca. get over here. we're going to talk about an ozzy triple threat. first up, hugh jackman, nicole kid man teaming up for a new miniseries taking them to australia's outback. this looks fantastic. it is reimagining of the epic movie "australia." check out the new trailer. >> there she is. far away down. >> welcome to australia. this should be interesting. >> it's an outback adventure, isn't it? >> not for everyone. >> you said this house? i need money. >> the cows are worth more than the land. >> rah! no, no. >> what are you doing? krakie! >> the six part miniseries will see kidman apprising her role from lady ashley going to

welcome to you both. >> thank you. >> so you have a new podcast after bed time. share some insights about parenting and sort of what makes this podcast different. >> yeah. there's a lot of podcasts with parenting advice out there. it's for kids. we worry about our kids. we're so -- you know, we need advice for our kids. this podcast is different because it's for you. it's for mom or dad at the end of a hard day with a couple besties hanging out. >> after a long day we want you to leave feeling empowered and know you are doing a great job. >> what are your top three tip ors parents trying to raise toddler? >> i would say often they get such a bad rap. reframing tantrums. in reality, there's no need to punish. this is about their brain development. they haven't developed the upper parts of the brain that help them manage emotion, control their body. sharing feelings with words.

that's why we see them crying on the floor. their kid is not manipulative or bad. it's just part of development. >> what do you do while they're doing that? [ laughter ] >> come in with a calm, confident energy. we are going to support them through those big feelings. and hold boundaries as needed. let them let it out. >> we have questions for parents. here's one from ashley who is a mom of three. >> with the holidays coming up, we are trying to teach our toddler why he can't have his gifts now. what are some ways we can help him learn patience? >> patience is really hard at the toddler age. the brain is still developing. not only is patience hard, but time. time is a hard concept for them to understand. you might want to make a visual chart. that's something they can also be in charge of. they feel powerful. they can count down the days. rip something off. put a sticker on. they know however many countdown, this is when you get the present. >> calendars or fun. >> one of our favorite books is "waiting isn't easy." the mo williams book.

it's a great one for parents. we have another viewer question from jenny in california who says, my toddler completely ignores me when i say it's time to go or runs away laughing. this happens when we leave the park, a play date, really anything fun. i can't imagine what that's like. exactly. >> going from something fun to something less fun like leaving the park, that can be really hard for toddlers. what we can do is give them a warning. let them know we've got two more minutes and then we are going to leave. then the timer trick. bring out our phone, set a two minute timer. let them press the button so they feel like they are surprised. you' be surprised. they leave the park like it works like magic at times. if not we hold a boundary confidently and support them through their feels. leaving the park is hard and it's okay to feel sad about it. >> here another one. kristen from denver, colorado. >> today my question is, how do we teach our children boundaries when we have guests coming into our home.

>> holidays are full of times where grandma or uncle or even strangers can come in. it can be really tempting. i think our generation was like, go give grandma a hug. go say hi. we really want to teach our toddlers about consent and body boundaries. what that means is, if they are hiding behind you and are shy, we want them to listen to their inner no and maybe give them alternatives. do you want to give grandma a high five? do you want to wave? teach them from the start that their body and their no matters. >> one day they will be in a situation where they want to say no. we want them to feel empowered. >> we all had that aunt who squeezed our cheeks too hard. [ laughter ] >> you can say no. we have another one in the short time we have left. my 3-year-old has recently started hitting our baby with toys while playing. any tips? >> toddlers and preschoolers will experience hitting. so what we want to do is stay calm, confident, explain how to

play with a toy. car is for rolling with your hand, it's not for hitting. if we hit again, we are going to say bye-bye toy. if it happens again right away, that's not safe play. we're gonna try again tomorrow. spotlight the right when you see them playing with it gentry. call them out when you know there's good. >> i love it. bye-bye toys. thank you very much for joining us. great advice. coming up the gift, the galaxy event with our look at the star wars gifts. new toys. we'll be back. new look at "star wars" gifts. new toys. hello, toys. we will be right back. ♪ ♪ ♪ always in that state of mind ♪ ♪ living on a high vibration ♪ ♪ so hot gonna make it melt ♪ ♪ and i'm lovin' what i'm tastin' ♪ ♪ que bonito lugar lleno de tanto sabor ♪ ♪ so much flavor ♪ ♪ un future brillante se acerca ♪ ♪ ahhhhhhh ♪ ♪ nos gusta mezclar ♪

>> 30-year-old katrina smith had been reported missing by her husband october 23rd. >> we didn't know what the situation was. the sheriff's department was investigating a missing person's case. >> this is where you found the cell phone? >> the cell phone was essentially dropped into the bush. it was at the bottom of this thing. we don't know how these pieces got there. they were found and collected as evidence. >> like bread crumbs along a route? >> like somebody sprinkling bread crumbs, like a trail. >> katrina's cell phone revealed a treasure trove of text messages between her and a male co-worker. >> we found out that katrina was having an affair with a co-worker that worked with her. >> we start looking into his background. low and behold, he's got issues in his past that raise red flags with us. >> there's no question we have our guy.

standing together in pink. we most often associate breast cancer with women. but thousands of men in the u.s. receive a diagnosis each year. whit johnson here with that story. >> reporter: george, good morning. breast cancer in men is rare, but the cdc said about one out of every 100 breast cancers diagnosed in the u.s. is found in a man. this morning we hear from two men who are not only fighting breast cancer, but the stigma that often comes with it. when eric pearce started experiencing aching bones and trouble sleeping in 2021, his primary doctor sent him to an oncologist. >> they found it in my bones. then we went and got a mammogram and they found out i had breast cancer. >> reporter: diagnosed as stage iv, the now 66-year-old and grandfather of three, said his world turned upside down. >> what? i'm a man, how do i have breast cancer?

>> reporter: for brent covington, the first sign of trouble was feeling a lump under his nipple that progressively got larger. >> i showed it to my daughter, who's in the healthcare business. she said that's a sign of breast cancer. >> reporter: the now 52-year-old diagnosed adds stage ii. >> initially it was disbelief, not knowing men could get breast cancer. it was disbelief. it was shock. >> reporter: this year about 2,800 men will be diagnosed with some type of breast cancer, with about 530 of them dying from the disease. some men, like eric, say the diagnosis also comes with a stigma. >> it's like, what? breast cancer? i'm a man. >> reporter: but the warning signs for men are often no different than they are for women. >> you could feel a lump in the chest wall. you can see changes in and around the nipple. lot of the time the mass can be small and the mass can also be painless. and so there may be a period of time where the individual doesn't even notice that there's something going on. >> reporter: as for brent, he has this critical message for other men.

tkpwhr if you feel a lump, get it checked out because you never know. but if you have been diagnosed with breast cancer as a male, have a positive strong attitude. that carried me and helped me endure the ups and downs. that got me through it. >> reporter: brent is now going on four years of being cancer free. eric's doctors have put him on a hormone pill that's been showing promising results. both men are eager to help raise awareness. just like experts at the cdc, they are urging men who notice lumps or other changes to go see a doctor. guys? >> thanks very much. coming up country star riley green performs live.
