here's what it looked like. had to be incredibly terrifying. luckily, this man got out. the alamo heights and san antonio fire departments came together to get him and sick other drivers, just on this road alone out. 5 to 7 inches of rain fell quickly. they've had a lot of rain. they needed it because they were in desperate drought situations but it came really quickly. from galveston and houston, right through most of louisiana, southern mississippi into alabama. we've had elevated risk of flash flooding. this system has already shown us how slow it's moving. keep an eye on that. then the west and heat. they do have heat waves this time of year. this summer we are coming off the hottest summer on record for dozens of cities. from hartford to ft. lauderdale to the western ones like phoenix, which broke last year's super hot. they've been 100 degrees for 100 days in a row and it doesn't look like that's going to stop. that smashes the old record of 76 days. las vegas had the all time 120 over the summer. and then look at this. we've got the excessive heat warnings up to washington state, oregon. that big ridge is gonna stick around so you see those numbers.

could see records from portland to seattle as we head to the end of the week. michael, you wondered you're going to l.a., need your tank top, yes. it's going to be hot. >> michael: i have got my shorts. i'm ready. >> ginger: you got it. >> george: thank you, ginger. just six days to go until the first presidential debate between kamala harris and donald trump. rachel scott is tracking the trump campaign. let's start with mary bruce who is covering the harris campaign. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, kamala harris is out trying to bring her economic policy images into focus. she's going to be in new hampshire while she'll be outlining her plan to help small businesses and encourage entrepreneurship by expanding tax deductions to $50,000. she'll also announce efforts to reduce red tape and ease regulations including creating a standard deduction for small businesses. this is all part of her goal to help start 25 million small businesses if elected. for the rest of the week we expect her to be largely off of the campaign trail as she gets ready for the debate next week.

she's taking the unusual step of hunkering down in a key battleground. she will be in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, studying up for her first ever face to face encounter with donald trump. it will give you the ability to get out there and do some informal campaigning while ailes studying up. sources tell us she's already been doing mock debates. her plan is to not go down any rabbit holes but focus on issues and pivot and attack trump. she's going to try and reverse how to keep cool, how to stay calm, while also going after trump and, yes, also trying to get under his skin. >> george: no question about that. thank you. let's go to rachel scott who's tracking the trump campaign. not one for traditional debate prep. >> reporter: donald trump has never been a fan of any formal traditional debate prep so i'm told there will be no mock debates for the former president. instead he's reviewing policy with a small group of adviser. his campaign has brought on former congress woman tolsi gabbert. she was once a rival to kamala

harris during the 2020 primary election. she challenged her on that debate stage. this is shaping up to be the most consequential moment of this campaign. this is not the face-off that donald trump wanted. he wanted to run against president biden especially after his first performance in that debate. since biden has exited the race, trump has really had a hard time trying to define vice president harris. his advisers have been urging him to steer from the personal attacks, stay focused on the message and those critical issues, especially the one where he has an edge on harris, education, crime, the economy. immigration. the former president will be doing a town hall today. the former president is delivering remarks tomorrow and holding a rally in wisconsin this weekend. even those close to trump admit they don't know which version of him will show up on that debate stage. george? >> george: will be a big night. okay, rachel. thank you very much. you can see the debate tuesday night right here on abc. michael? >> michael: thank you, george. now the former aide for two new york governors

charged with acting as an agent for china allegedly in exchange for millions of dollars. senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky has the story. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. if these allegations prove two they show a remarkable attempt to infiltrate government and influence policy. according to the indictment all it took was a willing state official, millions of dollars and a delicacy of duck. this morning linda sun, a former aide to two new york governors, is out on bond after she was charged with spying for china. sun is a naturalized u.s. citizen born in china and was on the new york state payroll for more than a decade rising to become deputy hochol's deputy chief of staff before being fired. she even appeared in this video promoting leadership. >> equity, make sure all the people at the table have equal access. >> reporter: at the same time, federal prosecutors said sun acted as an undisclosed agent of china worked to prevent representatives of the taiwanese government from meeting with high ranking new york state officials, trying to shape the

public statements to governors cuomo and hochol. to align with the chinese government's political priorities. sun seen in this image, included in the indictment where prosecutors say she met with leaders of the chinese communist party. she even tweaked a lunar new year message so it would not refer to the plight of wegers a muslim group china has been accused of targeting for genocide. in exchange, sun allegedly took millions in kick backs and her husband is charged with laundering the money, enabling the couple to buy a $3.5 million home on long island. the fbi raided the place. there's also a $2 million condo in honolulu, ferrari, and duck prepared by a chinese government official's personal chef. the indictment quoting sun messaging a chinese official, i very much value my relationship with the consulate and have done many things to make the relationship flourish. >> i'm furious and i'm outraged

and actually shocked at how brazen her behavior was. it was a betrayal of trust. the trust of government, the trust of the people and i'll tell you this. the second we discovered some levels of misconduct, we fired her. we alerted the authorities. >> reporter: sun's attorneys telling abc news overnight we are disappointed by the filing of these charges which are inflammatory and appear to be the product of an overly aggressive prosecution. linda sun and her husband each pleaded not guilty to the array of criminal charges. they're free on bond this morning. their case is the latest in a series prosecutors have brought meant to stop china from trying to secretly wield influence in all corners of american life. >> george: quite a story. okay, aaron. thank you very much. now the latest on the war in gaza. u.s. justice department charged multiple senior hamas leaders in connection with the october 7th attack while demonstrators face off with police in israel demanding a cease fire to bring the hostages home. marcus moore is in tel aviv. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: george, good morning.

proposal is expected to be presented to all of the sides in the coming days. rebecca? >> rebecca: it's been almost a year since hamas took those hostages. all right, marcus. thank you. we turn now to the war in ukraine and one of the deadliest attacks since the fighting began. more than 50 people were killed in a russian missile strike. more than 270 others injured. our foreign correspondent tom soufi burridge has the latest. good morning, tom. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. rescue teams still searching through the rubble. that russian missile strike killing scores of ukrainians including soldiers, at a moment when the war is escalating with another russian bombardment in a western city. this morning russia launching a brutal assault on a ukrainian city. residential buildings engulfed in flames after explosive drones and missiles bombarded laviv.

eastern ukraine. where his troops are slowly steam rolling forward and are now bearing down on a strategically important ukrainian town. guys, this morning there are signs of political uncertainty in ukraine. seven members of president zelenskyy's top team resigning as zelenskyy carries out the major political reshuffle of what is, of course, a critical moment in the war. george? >> george: including the foreign minister. quite a shuffle. okay, tom. thank you very much. now the major international airline grounding some of its air bus fleet over faulty engine parts. trevor ault is at newark airport with details. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, george. so this is an issue with some versions of the air bus 350. it's led hong kong cafe pacific to ground many of its air craft. this issue had to do with a bad part, specifically related to the fuel nozzle. this is serious enough that it's caused some of these engines to fail midflight. it's the first time we've seen this issue anywhere in the world. according to sirium, there are 87 aircraft with this specific engine.

they are used by qatar airlines, british air ways and a few others. some of which do fly to the united states. to our knowledge, none of these other airlines had been impacted by this issue. we do want to note of all the u.s. based airlines, delta's the only one that flies an a350 but delta's a350s have a different kind of engine, not one with this specific issue. so the faa said they are monitoring this problem and are in close communication with the european union's aviation safety agency. they are prepared to take action if need. >> rebecca: which is important, given what they have been finding. we turn now to the u.s. open. a thrilling day for the americans overnight francis tiafo played his way to the semifinals where he will face taylor fritz. and emma navarro is moving on to the semis as well. lara is here with all the big moments. hey, lara. >> lara: i just hate that we have to lose one of these

[ laughter ] did you hit a certain age and you notice you're starting to feel older? if you haven't, i'll have what you're having. consider yourself pretty lucky. a new study published in nature aging shows our health undergoes two specific phases of rapid change during our life. first is at age 44 and the second is at age 60. researchers looked at thousands of different molecules and microorganisms in people 25-75

including bacteria, viruses and fungi that live in our bodies and skin. most don't shift in gradual tpaeugs. they change radically in your 40s and 60s, which could have a direct impact on your health. the study found people in their mid 40s showed a big difference in their ability to metabolize alcohol and fats. yes, i may have noticed this. they also had cardiovascular changes as well. those in their 60s had a shift in kidney function and immune regulation which might give us some insight into why some older people are more susceptible to viruses like the flu and covid. there is some good news. experts say we can slow it down with more mindful lifestyle like healthier eating, exercise and trying to minimize stress. those of us in this industry are doomed. [ laughter ] >> michael: you said all those things. nope, nope, nope. >> we'll try. we'll do our best. >> rebecca: looking good at any age.

that. i think over time, you know, just realized his heart just wasn't in it anymore. >> lara: yeah. okay. you were the first woman to propose. you said that you have no regrets about that. you still believe that? you still standing by that? >> absolutely. i proposed to a man who promised me a fulfilling life, a loving partnership and a marriage that i have always wanted. i am very confident in knowing that is still what i want. unfortunately, he just wasn't the man that he talked himself up to be. but i would be so lucky to find a man who would be able to fulfill those promises. >> lara: maybe you will. you will be busy and around a lot of people. first i want to just show everybody. take a look at this. do we have a picture of jenn, what you went through. that's one of the pictures. you were on a plane all night long to get to us because you are putting down your rose and putting on your dance shoes as

was all an incredible shock to me. i think the very first episode was my wife and i. i thought that would be very easy to record because i know her well. it was a disaster. we fought and bickered the entire time. even debated whether or not we should release that into the world. but we did. it kind of overnight was really, really big. again, it was really shocking. i didn't have any real fantasies of what it could be. i didn't really know what a podcast could be. it continues to be wonderful. we're in year seven and have this new great deal. we're starring in a new video. it keeps growing. i keep getting guests that i can't believe are willing to come to my house and talk to me in my attic. >> rebecca: like your mom. >> my mom was there. although she, again, had to do it because she's my mom. >> rebecca: kristen bell and you, your wife kristen bell and you, i think one of the things -- i'm a listener. one of the things people are really drawn to, you do share a lotted. you talk about couples therapy. you talked about the importance of that in your relationship.

>> yeah. >> rebecca: how important -- when you set out to do this, how important was it to you to be vulnerable and really put yourself out there? >> you know, i think i knew probably just from being a big fan of howard stern my whole life. i knew that you couldn't be in this format, this medium, without being open. just kind of the compact with the audiences. you're just going to have to be really honest and include everything that's going on in your life. that's the nature of it. i think i entered it with that understanding. but also 20 years in recovery. i'm very used to talking openly around strangers. i think i had inadvertently been practicing for it for quite a long time. but, yeah. i think for kristen and i, we get -- people hash tag relationship goals. it's very flattering. but we feel some obligation to say, it's also a beatdown half the time. we have two little kids. it's brutal. we hate each other for long periods and then we repair. i'm sure i'm clearing my throat in the morning and she's like, how do i get out of this house with this throat clearing the

rest of my life? yeah, i just think being honest about, you know, the work that goes into it is important. i don't think you're going to have a star crossed lover event in your life and it will be easy. i think anything you like in life's gonna be challenging and require work. >> rebecca: respect. >> george: tell us about the family square ritual. >> oh, this was invented by kristen. maybe she stole it from a parenting book. i don't know. i'm gonna give her credit here on live tv. when there's an issue in our house verbally -- we have 9 and 11-year-old little girls. they're perfect. but if you do verbal up. people can call a family square. i think the key element is everyone has to sit on the floor. this is really a note for me because i'm much larger than all of them. my wife is always reminding me, sure you're talking in the same volume, but you are very high and it's very intimidating. so let's get you on the ground.

so i'm as low as i can go. there's no interrupting. little bit of a ceremony and everyone gets to air their grievances and we talk it all out. it goes pretty well most of the time. >> rebecca: what's the maximum number of family squares you've done in one day? >> well, luckily, they're usually one offs, but they can last. we have been trapped in the family square for over an hour for sure. in fact, we just had one recently where i was in the middle of it going, what's the time limit on the family square? i think we're going in circles. >> rebecca: what's the biggest thing you've learned about yourself and your family in all of this? >> i have learned that if anyone is impatient, they should have kids. i have learned to be patient which has really ended up transferring to my whole life. i don't know if i would have learned that without kids. i just learned that i was very lucky and that kristen has proven to be -- i already thought she would be an incredible mom, but she's off

let's go! hustle! is getting started. well, we did that 30 years ago, when california first took on the tobacco industry. this is not just about access. it's about the message it sends... now smoking is down 60 percent. lung cancer 42 percent. a couple of our cities have already ended tobacco sales. a california without big tobacco isn't just possible, it's already happening.

show everyone who you are. your love of partner, everything that this show is is about heart. let's see it. be open. when you go up to the sky box and are with julianne, let your heart fly. that, to me, i think is the true win win. >> lara: alfonso very well said. it's connection. trust your partner. all the pros are like, thank you for saying that. trust your partner. they have your back. also, we, alfonso and i, are here to support you guys in everything that you do. just embrace the fact that this is a family. you can compete with family, too, right? >> oh, yes. we know. >> lara: yes. phaedra, we want to start with you for the celebs. where are you? >> michael: right here. >> lara: it is so nice to see you. phaedra, we first met you on housewives, of course, atlanta, one of the greats.

[ applause ] >> okay. come on! that's salty. >> michael: i'm not even dancing and i got that. great job, phaedra. okay, chandler. chandler. i like it. you've been dancing since you were 3 years old. >> lara: oh, wow. >> michael: do you think that gives you an advantage? >> i don't have an answer and rhyme like phaedra. it's been ten years, over ten years since i trained.

i have never done anything like ballroom that requires trusting another person. so i'm nervous. also, i love the show because it requires, you know, showmanship. everyone on the stage has proven they're more than capable of that. i'm nervous. >> lara: we love the cast. going to be so fun. sitting near you is eric roberts. everybody, eric roberts is in the house. [ applause ] such a pleasure to see you here. this is really stepping out of your comfort zone i would imagine. >> like a mile and a half.

[ applause ] >> lara: that's great. >> michael: wow. >> lara: that's funny. i'm trying to wrap my head around that. brooks, you were the cover of "sports illustrated." you were on the cover 2023. i think we have a picture of it. when you got that call -- you were also this year, too.

i have to brag on the girl. what do you think was more nerve-racking, getting that call that you would be the cover girl or getting the call that you had made to it the ranks of "dancing with the stars?" >> well, i feel like with the cover, i was obviously thrilled but it was a done deal so i was very excited. with this, it was unexpected. i didn't expect to get the call. then i was like, oh my god, this is amazing. then i met my partner. >> lara: i see what you mean. pictures were taken. >> it was already a done deal. >> lara: this has only just begun. do you have dance experience? >> a little bit. when you said you were dancing since you were 4, i was like -- i don't have that. high school dance. it's totally different. it's a new challenge. i'm so excited for it. >> lara: strike a pose, baby. >> exactly. we've got some moves. we're ready. they're gonna come for us but we're ready. we're ready, girl. we're ready.

>> i'm getting that feeling. hmmm. >> michael: joey, bachelor and bachelorettes have traditionally done very well on this show. are you feeling any kind of pressure? >> heck yeah! i think from what i'm told -- i'm feeling good. from what i was told, there hasn't been a guy that's made it to the finale. that's my personal goal that we put together. that's what we're going to build towards. [ applause ] >> michael: all right. >> lara: you got this. >> michael: dwight, the man, first reveal we had downstairs. you were too tall for us to hide you. daniella won the mirror ball with someone tall like you, iman shumpert. you're 6' 10". she's 5' 2". you just realized that. >> you're stuck with me. >> you're the best. >> michael: she won with iman

shumpert so she knows how to work with the height. >> she's amazing. i'm going to trust her, follow her lead and have a lot of fun. >> great. >> it's just like, to see everyone up here, to be dancing, i can't wait. >> that's the attitude. that's what it is. listen to what they say. they know what they're doing. work hard, trust them. it's a competition. >> michael: daniella, with the height difference, how difficult will this be? >> i'm definitely going to have to reinvent the wheel, for sure. lot of things that are tradition will not work. >> lara: that might be fun though. >> i'm up for the challenge. >> lara: i want to ask derek, what advice do you have for these guys? let me reword that. what are you looking for? when you're looking to, like, weed out and get to that number one, what are you and carrie looking for? >> i will say one piece of advice. i will say you have to play full out.

you have to play full out. you get out what you put in. when you go to rehearsals, work hard. you're going live on television so make sure you do the work in the studio. i think as well, what we're looking for is just the full package. performance, technique, showmanship. like alfonso and julianne said, the heart. we want to connect with you in some way. >> lara: can heart make up for technique? >> no. it cannot. [ laughter ] no. >> i do think people at home are not caring about the technique. remember, the audience at home has the vote. okay? they have the power. >> but point your toe, please. point your toes. [ laughter ] >> like me performance. like a singer, an actor. if you don't love what you do. if you don't connect with the audience. if you don't give them everything you have, it doesn't work. you can be the best technician,

but you don't have heart and it's not good. your technique could be slightly less, but give them love. give them everything you have. [ applause ] >> lara: bruno, i'm going to send it to somebody who knows this all too well. can former contestant ginger zee, everybody! >> ginger: i agree. a lot of it is space. give a lot of space. alan has been a pro that has helped me many times. he's going to help me do the weather. we've got dancing point, virginia. star, idaho. and tango. do i remember? do i remember? >> george: when we come back, a special performance by this man
