7:05 am
patients," it means you want me to kill at least 100 patients at one second. >> reporter: doctors at that hospital now warning at least 40 premature babies in incubators are at risk with fuel almost running out, saying two have already died. the idf overnight saying today it will try to help evacuate the babies. despite the deepening humanitarian catastrophe, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu overnight flatly rejecting any cease-fire unless hamas releases its 240 israeli hostages. netanyahu saying israel will not stop until hamas is destroyed. calls for israel to pause its assault are mounting. as protests grow in western countries. in london, hundreds of thousands joining a pro-palestinian protest saturday, marching on the u.s. embassy. arab and muslim leaders also gathering for a summit in saudi arabia saturday where iran and saudi's leaders made a rare call for an immediate cease-fire, but netanyahu saying no international pressure will deter israel saying it will stand against the world if necessary. netanyahu last night also
7:06 am
rebuffing a u.s. plan or proposal suggesting that the palestinian authority could take over the gaza strip after the war ends. israel making clear that it has no intention right now of scaling back its assault. stephanie? >> stephanie: patrick, thank you so much. now to the breaking news overnight. a u.s. military aircraft crashing in the mediterranean sea. abc's jay o'brien is here with what we know this morning. jay, good morning. >> reporter: stephanie, a lot of details still murky here this morning, but this is what we know so far. according to u.s.-european command, what officials describe as only a military aircraft went down during a training exercise in the eastern part of the mediterranean sea. officials didn't specify what kind of aircraft crash or even which branch of the armed forces was impacted here. we know that there were service members on board. we just don't know how many or what their condition is at this hour. in a statement, u.s. european command saying, quote, out of respect for the families affected, officials won't be
7:07 am
releasing further information on the personnel that were inside that aircraft. the military releasing information first overnight saturday. it comes as there's heightened military focus on the region where this aircraft went down. the u.s. beefing up its presence there in the eastern mediterranean in response to that ongoing conflict between israel and hamas. the military again stressing that this was all tied to a training exercise, officially calling it, a, quote/unquote, mishap, and saying that there are no indications of any kind of attack or hostile activity. the exact cause of this crash now under investigation. gio? >> gio: and we will keep following that. jay, thank you so much. here at home, the clock is ticking on efforts to avoid a government shutdown this week. this morning, the new house speaker, mike johnson, is out with a plan, but can he get his own party to go along? abc's em nguyen is on capitol hill now to break it all down. good morning, em. >> reporter: good morning, gio. yeah, house speaker mike johnson unveiled a rather unusual stopgap plan to avert a
7:08 am
potential government shutdown come this upcoming friday. this morning, we're learning more about a two-step plan by house republicans to keep the government open as yet another shutdown deadline looms. house speaker mike johnson introducing a laddered continuing resolution that would stagger deadlines for different federal services. the first part of the bill aims to extend funding until january 19th and cover key government services including the military, construction, and housing. the second part of the bill would extend funding until february 2nd and include funding for other parts of the government. >> trust us. we're working through the process in a way that i think the people will be proud of. >> reporter: this plan is meant to buy johnson more time to pass individual appropriation bills, but some in his own party already don't want it including representative chip roy of texas saying on social media, my opposition cannot be overstated. the new plan doesn't include changes to immigration policy
7:09 am
which is a blow to many republicans, and it doesn't include any additional aid for israel or ukraine, something democrats have been pushing for, but a senate democratic leadership aide expressed cautious optimism to abc news that the new plan funds the government at current spending levels without any budget cuts so far. if lawmakers don't pass a spending bill by the november 17th deadline and the government shuts down, some 3 million federal employees including military service members could be affected. air traffic control operators and tsa workers could have to work without pay during the busy thanksgiving holiday. a house floor vote could come as early as tuesday, and with just five legislative days to go until the next spending deadline, congress has little room for error, whit. >> whit: and the clock is ticking once again. em, thank you. for more, let's bring in abc's chief washington correspondent jonathan karl who will be hosting "this week" later this morning. jon, good morning to you. it's always great to see you.
7:10 am
let's start right there with this huge week ahead for president biden, that looming government shutdown, and a critical meeting with china's president xi. walk us through what's at stake on both fronts. >> jonathan: the meeting with president xi in san francisco is a highly consequential faceoff. it has been a long time since he has sat down with the chinese leader. one prominent former official has said this is the most perilous time in world affairs since the end of world war ii and china is really at the center of all that. not just tensions regarding taiwan, but also china's ally, russia in ukraine, and high on the list to discuss is the middle east. so full plate of agenda items with the chinese leader, and the government shuts down on november 17th unless they can come to a spending deal. i'm hearing some modest optimism that they can actually get at least a temporary spending deal together, but the white house has already come out and slammed the proposal put forward by speaker mike johnson.
7:11 am
>> whit: yeah. the white house seems quite critical of that already. jon, while we do have you, your new book, "tired of winning" comes out in just two days. congratulations on another one. there are some new revelations here that you have uncovered about former president trump. >> jonathan: yeah. there's a big one that we're going to talk about on "this week." that is a plot that donald trump became enthralled with shortly after he left office to actually get back into the white house before the next election. he actually came to believe this crazy theory that he could get biden ejected from the white house and himself reinstated as president before 2024. you'll see what i found out about that on "this week." >> whit: jon, we look forward to that. thank you so much as always, and tune into "this week" later on this morning. jon will have the latest on the israel/hamas war with white house national security adviser jake sullivan. plus, he speaks with rising democratic star, maryland government wes moore, about his takeaways from tuesday's elections as his party looks
7:12 am
ahead to 2024. stephanie? >> stephanie: now to new concerns rsv cases are on the rise in the south with flu season fast approaching. some hospitals report that they are filling up. abc's alex presha is here now in studio with those details. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, stephanie. this is a big warning for parents as we head into flu seasons. cases of rsv already on the rise in texas, and doctors saying that trend will soon spread elsewhere. >> it was an emotional roller coaster. i didn't know if my baby was going to be okay. >> reporter: this morning, texas health officials now sounding the alarm as cases of rsv are overwhelming emergency rooms. >> when we arrived at the texas children's emergency room, it was overflowing. >> reporter: families like the hughes whose son connor was diagnosed with rsv -- >> checking the patient about every three minutes. >> reporter: in fort worth, texas, officials say they
7:13 am
treated 240 rsv cases over the last week alone. tiffany and tryce adams had their premies diagnosed a week apart and had them treated at different hospitals at first because of capacity issues. >> i felt helpless the whole time. we were just kind of at the mercy of the hospitals, and, you know, we were an hour apart. >> reporter: experts say respiratory illnesses like rsv have already taken hold of southern states and will likely spread north. supply has been limited. a cdc health advisory last month recommended clinicians administer to the most vulnerable. >> this is concerning because while we're seeing the rise in rsv, we're limiting the ability for those kids who are vulnerable to rsv to get the protection they need. >> reporter: those concerns have only heightened as the doctors note the tridemic season of rsv, covid-19, and the flu is fast approaching. >> unfortunately, all pediatric hospitals are bracing for
7:14 am
impact. we're still very early on in the winter season. >> reporter: some guidance for parents according to the cdc, you should seek help if an infant under 2 months as a temperature greater than 100.4, and if your child has a fever for more than three days, you should contact your pediatrician or go to an emergency facility, but doctors urge parents not to go to the e.r. for covid or the rsv or flu test. they say your pediatrician can administer those. >> gio: so important for so many families, thank you. now to the sign-stealing investigation. the powerhouse michigan remaining undefeated even as head coach jim harbaugh served first of a three-game suspension. abc's morgan norwood has more on that. good morning, morgan. >> reporter: good morning to you. the wolverines may be celebrating that big win this morning, but they are also gearing up for their next opponent. this time the matchup won't be on the gridiron. instead, the courtroom. >> touchdown, wolverines! >> reporter: this morning, the university of michigan celebrating a victory over rival penn state, doing so without legendary head football coach, jim harbaugh, on the sidelines.
7:15 am
the interim head coach emotional after the game. >> coach harbaugh, [ bleep ] love you man. >> reporter: with just two games left in the regular season, the university of michigan now scrambling to get harbaugh back at the helm. this week, headed to court to take on the big ten who put in a three-game suspension to harbaugh in an ongoing ncaa investigation into sign-stealing allegations. in a statement, a um spokesperson said the big ten had not acted legally or fairly. its athletic director echoing the university, accusing the conference of jumping ahead of the league in its decision. harbaugh denying any wrongdoing or knowledge of the alleged scheme. >> this hearing on friday will set the stage to whether or not jim harbaugh can get a preliminary injunction which could allow him to coach the final two games of the regular season. >> reporter: this morning, support pouring in for jim harbaugh from fans and players donning michigan versus
7:16 am
everybody hats, to um alum and nfl great tom brady, who responded to the big ten's announcement tweeting the word, bet, a term often meaning, challenge accepted. >> michigan is taking shape as one of the antagonists of this college football season. michigan has pushed hard back against those allegations and that notion. on the field where it matters most, michigan is a national championship contender. >> reporter: and let's talk about what's next. that hearing on the school's lawsuit challenging the big ten punishment of harbaugh and the university of michigan. that is set for this friday. then on saturday, whit, they take on maryland on the road. >> whit: some interesting developments, morgan, thank you. the irs is out with some important new changes for 2024 that could actually help you save some money. abc's alexis christoforous is here to break it all down. a silver lining, alexis. >> reporter: you could call it that, whit, absolutely. there's an upside to persistent inflation apparently. more of your income will be taxed at a lower rate next year. every year the irs adjusts the
7:17 am
tax brackets to account for inflation, and once again, the agency is widening all of those brackets and that could help millions of americans increase their take-home pay. what does this mean in real terms? if you made $45,000 this year, you'll be taxed at rate of 22%. in 2024, you'll be taxed at 12%. that's a significant savings, and in more good news for taxpayers, the irs is increasing the amount you can deduct from your taxable income. so, for married couples, the standard deduction amount is going up by $1,500. for single taxpayers, it's rising by $750, and that could be enough to push some people into a lower tax bracket. other inflation adjustments include raising the amount you can contribute to 401(k) retirement plans by $500, but this all applies next year. these numbers will go into effect when you file your taxes
7:18 am
in 2025, but certainly something to look forward to. >> stephanie: absolutely. a little more than year to adjust. thanks so much, alexis. whit over here is perking up. >> whit: i was, like, wait a minute. tell me more. tell me more. big changes. >> stephanie: huge, huge changes. all right, it is now time for weather. somara theodore is here in studio. how's it looking? >> somara: that depends on where you are. now if you are in houston, it's looking a little gloomy, okay? take a look at this live shot. this is from earth cam actually a little bit earlier in houston, texas. you can see the building veiled there with this low cloud ceiling. really just foggy out there, a little damp. they're getting ready to get in for a good amount of rain. you have this area of low pressure that's beginning to develop off the coast of texas there. that's going to pulsate heavy rain through the texas panhandle into new orleans and into mobile, alabama. really those gulf coast states really getting in on this. notice the timestamp there monday into tuesday. this is much needed rain. remember, we're in a significant drought throughout the state of louisiana. most of the -- the most widespread drought they have seen in at least 20 years, six-plus inches of rain, they could really use it. you thought hurricane season was over.
7:19 am
not until november 30th, we've got an eye on this area o forecast. okay, i want to know. what are we doing for the weekend, guys? >> gio: what are we doing? >> whit: kids soccer games all day. >> somara: okay. steph? >> stephanie: what am i doing? i haven't thought that far ahead, girlfriend. i'm trying to get through this show. >> gio: i'm going to see my buddy, don saladino. we're going to have a fitness

7:21 am
krieger and rapinoe, longtime teammates on the u.s. women's national team, having won the world cup together in 2015 and 2019. rapinoe, not only a force to be reckoned with on the field, but also a longtime advocate for equal rights, taking on issues like women's rights, pay equality, and lgbtq-plus issues earning a medal of freedom in 2022. krieger, a beast in her own right, won world cup victories, and an outspoken supporter of the lgbtq-plus community. both saying they want to be remembered making a difference and they believe the future of women's soccer is bright. guys? >> whit: it is. all right, jaclyn lee, thank you so much. the changing of the guard happening in women's soccer, but a lot to look forward to as well. still ahead here on "gma," first on "gma," the emotional reunion of an american woman who fled gaza now back her family in the u.s. >> gio: and we've got a "gma" travel alert about scammers using social media to prey on unsuspecting travelers dealing with flight delays and cancellations. you're going to want to watch that.
