joined them later tonight. >> more direct intervention and we'll examine that coming up, but the aftermath homes and businesses destroyed, at least five people dead. alabama seeing some of the worst destruction, and abc's phillip mena starts us off in flat rock. good morning, >> reporter: good morning. the only way that you can tell that this was a day-care center is by the few toys that remain. this is where a family of seven rushed over from their mobile home looking for a safe place to ride out the storm but sadly they ran right into harm's way. just one day after at least 16 tornadoes devastated much of the south, families in alabama beginning to pick up the pieces. this door frame the only thing remaining for one family. >> we were all holding on to each other. crouched down on the floor just dear god, please let me live through this. >> reporter: all that's left of this day care, a small room. >> we have been fortunate

>> reporter: in rosalie, many parts of town leveled. debris up in the trees. the shelves still standing at this destroyed convenience store. in mississippi, families assessing the damage. as they cut and clean outside their homes. look how this pecan tree sliced right through this house. >> we had to get the ladder over there and get her out the window because she couldn't get out of any doors. >> tornado warning. >> reporter: and in the florida panhandle, forming off the coast, wednesday afternoon. near atlanta, a tornado warning with strong winds blowing this huge piece of metal from a recycling center about a quarter of a mile away. ? >> reporter: students hunkered down in the school hallway waiting out the storm. strong winds knocking down trees, severing power lines. and many in this area are still without power this morning. the good news is the storms that caused all of this damage have moved out. robin. >> all right, phillip, thank you. thinking of everybody there. we'll go to gio benitez in

latest on those devastating and deadly wildfires that have forced thousands of evacuations. good morning, gio. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. people here have just lost everything. and in many cases, they don't even have insurance. behind me, is a very famous restaurant here in the smokey mountains called the alamo. and i want you to look at our wide camera there, so you can just see how much destruction there is here. the fire still smoldering me. i want to show you a video from a firefighter driving through this fire. you can he have the intense winds helping spread the blaze more and more. at least seven people have died. others are still missing. and now i want to show you the aftermath. this is what you see all over this place. homes are quite literally just disappearing. some 700 structures damaged or destroyed. so the good news right now is heavy, heavy rains yesterday put out a lot of these flames, so

and people here have to start rebuilding, robin. >> that's good to hear. we will talk to rob about that. so many people are doing whatever they can to help including someone who's known quite well in that area. dolly parton. tell people what she's doing. >> reporter: that's right, robin. dol dollywood is just miles from here. people go there all the time and this area, this is where she grew up. she's going to be donating $1,000 per month to each family affected by thi it truly is remarkable. >> indeed. such good people there. gio, thank you. we said that severe weather as you said is moving out this morning, and rob, you're tracking that path. >> i want to say that so much in weather is about good and bad. they so desperately needed rain and were going to get that. in advance of that that's when the wins kicked up and devastating fires broke out. those rains so helpful in the past three days. over 4 inches in huntsville, 5 inches in knoxville, and very close to that fire zone.

and dive down into the plain, heavy rain expected in eastern texas getting up into louisiana and arkansas and then stretching back into the drought zone, northern mississippi, northern alabama, by sunday night you'll see heavy rain again. look at some of these numbers locally possibly over 4 inches of rainfall across louisiana and south of the fire zone and we'll take every inch we can get. >> that is coming. thanks very much. the latest on the trump transition. the president-elect and mike pence heading out of trump tower on what they call a thank you tour starting at that carrier plant in indianapolis which reversed course, decided to keep more than a thousand jobs in the u.s. after jawboning from trump. abc's tom llamas at trump tower with all the details. good morning, tom. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. that cincinnati rally will be the first public event for the president-elect since winning the election. and we all know how much mr. trump loves those big crowds. we just checked. there's still tickets available, but there's a report out this morning that team trump has purchased radio ads promoting

seat is filled, but before that event, trump has some business to take care of. today, president-elect donald trump will announce a deal, one he promised on the campaign trail, to show he's already fighting for the american worker. >> it's not presidential for the president of the united states to call up the head of carrier, hello, this is the president. but i don't care. it's so much fun for me. i love doing it. please don't take that away. >> reporter: in a statement, carerer s an agreement with the incoming administration, part of which will result in preserving more than 1,000 jobs. details of the agreement unclear. but a source telling abc news a regulatory incentive was a factor. carrier worker kip glen, a trump supporter, praising the president-elect. >> the spirits were high last night. people were actually hand shaking, hugging. he's not even been sworn in yet, and is already showing us that

>> reporter: but some of trump's critics want more details before they celebrate the incoming president. >> yeah, jobs are good. the question is what exactly is the deal? i mean the first thing you learn when you're talking about deals is let's read all the details. let's read the fine print. >> reporter: trump also working on filling his cabinet. now a familiar face is under consideration for secretary of veterans affairs. >> thank you so much. >> reporter: a palin aide telling abc news, palin told trump transition officials in recent days, i feel as though the megaphone i have been provided can be used in a productive and positive way to help those desperately in need. and as trump hosts that event at carrier to show he's fighting for the working class, "the washington post" points out this morning that trump is assembling what could be the wealthiest cabinet in the history of this country. trump campaigned against wall street, and he also said he was going to drain the swamp, yet he

billionaires, millionaires and some washington insiders, george. >> we will take a look at that. tom, we'll take a look at it now with matthew dowd and carrier, big political win for donald trump and his team is signaling steve mnuchin, his incoming treasury secretary nominee has said that we're going to see more of this. more direct intervention with companies. now this is an opportunity, but also limits. >> these things for donald trump, one, it's real. those thousan thousand vins right before christmas, now know they have jobs and well-paying jobs that will stay in indiana so i'm sure their children and families are very happy, but, two, symbolism. he's just president-elect but presidents rely a lot on symbolism and the symbolism of this, i didn't forget you in the midwest. i didn't forget you. other people have forgotten you. i'm willing to go through whatever it takes. but there's a broad about what is his kmim policy? you can't just do these often-offs without defining your economic policy, and in the end, donald trump will be defined by

rate that he is going into office with. >> meanwhile, as tom mentioned, two billionaires being nominated. steve mnuchin several hundred million and they'll push hard for tax returns from all these nominees as they come up for confirmation. >> you know, before the election was over before election night i described the trump group as a pirate ship. well, some of these nominees it looks like it's a pirate yacht that we've seen unfold in this. i think the confirmation hearings will be some of the most spectacular theater that we have seen just from all the questions from the attorney general, from the treasury, from all of those questions that are in such contrast to many things donald trump said during the campaign. >> sarah palin. >> sarah palin, i guess is the elizabeth swan, the keira knightley character in "pirates of the caribbean." she will come in. interesting how folks discipline in this but i think the interesting thing on january 20th he turns the black pearl over to the queen elizabeth ii and it's much more difficult to manage the queen elizabeth ii. >> okay, matthew dowd, thank you very much. >> do you stay up at night trying to come up with these.

it just comes to me. >> all right. thank you, matt. but now to charlotte, north carolina, where protests erupted overnight after prosecutors said they would not charge the s said officer who fatally shot keith lamont scott in september. abc's eva pilgrim has the latest. >> reporter: overnight people taking to the streets. four arrested protesting over a fatal police shooting. this morning no charges for the police officer who fired the fatal shots killing a charlotte man. >> i am fully satisfied and entirely convinced that officer vinson's use of deadly force was lawful. >> reporter: the investigation into keith lamont scott's death, while evidence points to the 42-year-old being armed. something scott's family had disputed. his wife saying as much on the tape from the shooting. >> drop the gun. >> he doesn't have a gun. >> reporter: the d.a. also presenting evidence police did

shooting. >> there was a guy that was parked next to us that was rolling a joint had a gun. >> reporter: as well as releasing this surveillance video from a nearby 711 earlier that day, showing scott with a bulge around his right ankle. in previously released police video, you can see his pant leg pulled up. empty holster revealed. the d.a. concluding he failed to comply with commands to drop his gun. justifying the shooting. scott's family disagreeing asking why pick up his kid ended up dead. >> but that does not mean that this officer's killing of keith scott was right. all that means is that under the view of the d.a.'s office it wasn't criminal. >> reporter: the d.a. saying the police found a gun at the scene that they have since identified as scott's. his family saying in none of that video do you clearly see him holding a gun and they are

d.a.'s decisions not to press charges. they are considering pursuing a civil case. robin. >> we'll see what happens, eva, thank you. to the new clues about that deadly plane crash that killed 71 people. david kerley has more on what the survivors are now revealing about the accident. >> reporter: this morning, colombian authorities confirm this jet did not have enough reserve fuel and radio calls suggest it ran out of fuel. as this new video shows the excited brazilian soccer team heading to the finals before the crash. their short haul jet had fwn nearly 1,900 miles right at its maximum range, but it was put into a holding pattern above medellin. the pilots radio the tower asking for priority landing. we are having a fuel problem. seven minutes later the pilot calls out, total failure. electric, total and fuel. >> they now have nothing but battery power, and they are gliding. they have no electronic aids

airport. >> reporter: so the pilots, desperately calling out for directions. vectors. a minute later the final plea for help. eight miles from the airport the jet crashes, no fire, no fuel found. >> the airplane ran out of gas. why it ran out of gas, why the crew made the bad decisions that they made, could they have saved it if they declared an emergency early on? >> reporter: three of the players survived. two crew members too. one did so fetal position. and reportedly telling a south american sports network others in the plane stood up and started yelling after the jet ran out of fuel. the black boxes have now been turned over to investigators from the united kingdom. that's going to tell us a lot about what the pilots were saying inside the cockpit an answer a lot of the questions about this tragic plane crash. >> david, just to hear that audio like that, david, thank you. amy has the morning's other top stories starting with another police officer killed in the line of duty. >> that's right. an officer was shot and killed responding to a domestic call in tacoma, washington.

lockdown as a standoff with the shooter continued into the early morning, and then a somber scene as the officer's body was taken away. 133 law enforcement officers in the united states have died in the line of duty this year alone. that is more than during all of last year. well, the fourth and final inmate who escaped from a california jail has been captured. rogelio chavez was arrested at his sister's home in san jose after an eight-hour standoff. police say he had been hiding in the attic. health concerns this morning for former astronaut buzz al aldrin. he has been evacuated falling ill. he posted pictures of his rival in ant arc ka. he is reported to be in stable condition. aldrin is 86. and finally, while the shape of to your chicken mcnuggets are not as random as you thought, and i'm sure you put thought

mcdonald's has revealed its nuggets come in four distinct shapes which has apparently shocked even the most loyal mcdonald's fans. each shape even has a name, the bell, the ball, the boot and the bone. and mcdonald's says this -- these shapes are the perfect equilibrium of dipability and fun. >> dipability. >> trying to get that in. dipability. >> yeah. >> they made it one. >> i like the boot because you got a little something to hang onto. >> right? >> we both said dipability and both thinking of boot. same page, robin. thank you, amy. take a look at this video, and yes, that's a man reaching into a truck and walking away with a massive pot of gold,and he is not a leprechaun, okay? and that is just blocks away from times square, and linsey davis has the story. >> reporter: a reward leading for information of the recovery of this stolen pot of gold. you heard it right. a pot of gold worth more than $1.5 million.

charms. it was not a sophisticated heist like "the italian job." >> 13 across. 4 high. 4 deep. >> reporter: rather police think the robber just stumbled onto an opening and pounced. >> do you think he knew it was a bucket of gold at the time? >> i believe he believed it was a value. it was in an armored truck with >> reporter: it happened in new york city's diamond district. the barrel was taken right out of the back of an armored vehicle at the precise moment when one of the armed guards turned his back. the guard reportedly only noticed the buck was missing because that's the bucket he used to rest his feet while he sat. loomis, the armored truck company told abc news their guards were targeted by professional thieves. the container of gold flakes nearly 90 pounds. so heavy, the thief had to keep putting it down. which might explain why it took him an hour to walk half a mile. he then got into a white car. >> so it's gold flakes.

that? >> they could be melted down and put into cubes and then sold. >> reporter: this newly released video is from late september. so the culprit has a two-month head start. police say so far, they believe the end of the rainbow for the man they are dubbing the leprechaun may be florida. pawnshops there are on high alert. for "good morning america," li >> seems like that was too easy. >> what a story. >> now what to do with those. back to rob. a lot of rain coming. >> which brings rainbows which brings pots of gold, i'm told. i haven't seen one in a while. a winter storm warning across maine and rain in boston moving ow. moving out. drying out. that low finally kicking up and we will take that for sure. your sunday cities brought to

i thought about her being there screaming my name. >> that is the husband of sherri papini, that missing mom in california missing for three weeks, abducted came back in terrifying condition, and he gave abc news that exclusive interview about the ordeal his wife went through. we have all that coming up. that is coming up. also right now, though, president-elect trump is heading to indiana today with mike pence. kicking off what they're calling a thank you tour after the election. they'll stop at the carrier plant where trump is celebrating a deal saving more than a thousand jobs. a major recovery effort is under way after those devastating tornadoes in the southeast. 48 reported twisters just this week. one flattening a small alabama town. the storm system thankfully is now moving out. and also this morning, dr. oz is facing a major lawsuit. >> that's right. it's all about olive oil and

hot water. that's all coming up in just a bit. >> we look forward to that. but first, our exclusive interview with that husband of that kidnapped california mom. abc's matt gutman sat down with keith papini in redding, california. good morning, matt. >> reporter: george, good morning. i spent four hours with keith papini yesterday, and the excruciating details he describes of his wife's ordeal isn't just revealing. it's disturbing in a way we haven't heard so far. this morning, keith papini, opening up about his wife's 22-day captivity. >> i thought about her being there screaming my name. >> reporter: and describing to "20/20" his wife sherri's helter-skelter release. >> she was bound, she had a metal -- sorry, a chain around her waist. that is correct. she had a bag over her head. her left hand was in the vehicle chained to something. >> to make sure she didn't jump out of the car? >> she was chained any time she was in a vehicle. they opened the door.

a bag over her head, and they cut something to free her restraint that was holding her into the vehicle and kind of pushed her out of the vehicle, and she has, at this point, has no idea where she is at, and then ran to the freeway. but motorists kept whizzing her. >> she screamed so much she was coughing up blood from the screaming trying to get somebody to, you know, stop, and again, just another sign of how my wife is. she's so wonderful that she said, well, maybe people aren't stopping because i have a chain, and it looks like i broke out of prison, so she tried to tuck in her chain under her clothes. >> reporter: this morning, the shasta county sheriff's office revealing new details about sherri's alleged abductors. described as two armed hispanic women. the sheriff says suspect number one had curly hair, a thick

>> suspect number two was the older of the two suspects. she had straight black hair with some graying color. >> reporter: but the big question still remains. where was she held, what was the motive and was she specifically targeted, or was this a random act? >> you cut their hair. you beat them. you're really talking about behavior of what a cult or an extremist group would use to break somebody down. >> reporter: now investigators tell us they are starting to work up a composite sketch of the suspects, but because sherri was hooded much of the time, they say she only got to see their eyes. so investigators say they're working on digging out the other details, did she hear a train? was she close enough to feel the vibrations? what did the room feel like? anything to get a break in this story, george. >> such a strange story. thanks very much. let's talk to dan abrams about it right now. so these details are piling up.

captivity. more on the captors, as well but so many big questions still remain. >> oh, there's no question that all these questions remain, but that's what the investigation now needs to focus on which is who are these people? why did they do it? and i think that's the most important question. you heard matt refer to it. which is what was the motive here? was she targeted? is it random? if they can figure that out -- >> doesn't seem like they're any closer on that >> we don't know that, right? the investigators will try to keep certain details close to the vest on this. but those are the key questions that they need to assess. >> you mentioned keeping the details close to the vest. the sheriff did seem a little bit concerned that the husband's interviews may somehow compromise the integrity of the investigation. >> well, he actually said that, right? and you can understand from the investigator's perspective, their saying, look. we don't want the public at large to know everything. you know why? because in a lot of these high-profile investigations,

and they want to be able to assess who has real information here. who actually knows something? who may be real suspects? and the way a do that is keep certain information private and secret. now from his perspective, from the husband's perspective, you can understand why he wants to go public, right? i mean, a lot of people are still saying, come on. this must be some sort of hoax. >> even though the sheriff keeps saying -- >> that's right. no evidence to suggest it's a hoax but you look under this case on google, for example, the related to a hoax. so you can understand why the husband wants to come forward and say, not only was this not a hoax, but this was absolutely horrific for her and please understand how difficult this must be for her. >> you also see times the sheriff has contradicted some of the claims that the husband is relating, but he doesn't directly criticize him. >> that's right. and there's small -- it seems so far t contradictions have been relatively small because most of the details have been accurate, it seems.

right? meaning if you're getting all sorts of details that aren't accurate it doesn't really matter. the problem for the sheriff is when you're getting all this information which, of course, the husband would know, these accurate details, then the sheriff has a little bit less to work with in terms of information that the public doesn't know. but i've got -- i sympathize with the husband in wanting to get it out there even if the answer is, yes, it makes the investigation a little harder. when you have people around the world saying, oh, this doesn't make any sense. i don't get it. and the husband's position is, my wife was branded. my wife was in chains, you can understand why he wants to get out there and say something about it. >> no question about it. dan abrams, thanks very much. and you can see more of that exclusive interview with keith papini on a special edition of "20/20" tomorrow at 10:00 eastern right here on abc. hey, michael. all right, george. coming up on our big board, are we about to see the return of sarah palin? more on the big role she may play in trump's white house. plus, a new show about a pope that has a lot of people up in arms. does it go too far?

stephen a. smith is here talking about tiger woods coming back to play golf. that's coming back in two minutes, everybody. ming back to play golf. that's coming back in two minutes, everybody. you didn't really have to... getting the gift you almost kept for yourself? now that's a holiday mini miracle. and it's easy to create your own at walgreens... just around the corner.

hi, i'm paul. i used to be with verizon, but i switched to sprint. me too! and me. when will you? can you hear that? (vo) don't let a 1% difference cost you twice as much. happy holidays to you and your family. for people with hearing loss,

welcome back. time now for our big board and we're breaking down more of this morning's top stories. stephen a. smith is here at the table. as my grandma would say, hmm, hmm, hmm. >> i feel the same way. >> we can't wait to get to your story. but first, could sarah palin be headed to washington? the former vice presidential nominee and trump loyalist is reportedly being considered for secretary of veterans affairs. abc's cokie roberts joins us now to weigh in. what are you hearing about this, cokie? >> well, what we're hearing is what abc news has been reporting and sarah palin has been taking our story and posting it on social media, saying, veterans affairs. i have to say, robin, that fair

a laughing stock, and donald trump as you so adamant throughout the campaign about the great care that he was going to show to veterans that putting her in that position could be a problem for him. >> well, cokie, also if he does appoint her do you think she's going to have trouble with congress? >> sure, she is. i mean, absolutely. she's -- you know, she's a very controversial figure. now, she was for trump very early in the campaign, so he probably does feel he owes her something. but this is more than he probably wants to take on and think of poor john mccain. someone who cares desperately about veterans, who picked sarah palin as his running mate and has been very careful not a criticize her, but then he would have to vote on her. that's a tough one. >> that would be a tough situation. so that's controversy, and we have another one, too. yeah, we have another controversy. this one involving a new tv show, hbo's new show "the young pope" premieres next month but it's already sparking outrage over jude law's portrayal of a not so conventional vatican leader. take a look.

your sins. >> i don't have any sins to confess. i'm a contradiction. by god. >> i think i can see why a lot of people -- larry hackett is joining us. larry, this pope is portrayed as a personality, but compares himself to god. so what is the bitter reaction to this show? i have an idea what you're going to say. >> he smokes and drinks cherry coke so you can imagine, you know, the wrath that will fall on him. it debuted in italy to critical raves and for viewership, and as a former altar boy and choir boy, i can assure you that, you

follows the homily there will be people who find this completely offensive and one more attack on the catholic church. as you saw in that clip, the catholic church has three things that make it a fantastic vehicle for drama. it has power, it has mystery, and it has unbelievable pageantry and outfits. this lends itself to people recreating it and thinking preposterous things about it. we checked with the pope, the office -- the pope's office says he doesn't even watch television so they're not losing a lot of sleep about this b driving the controversy that people are going want to see it. >> well, we're talking about it. >> absolutely. >> we have to, you know, again, say this is not based on any particular pope, obviously. >> no, he's an american pope in this, right. >> all right. and cokie, you have covered popes, and of course, your mother, the u.s. ambassador, so i saw you watching the clip as larry was talking. what do you think? >> actually i was thinking as he was talking, pope benedict drank orangeade so it's not that crazy. look. we watched this just now in the makeup room. will the lots of clips of it, and what i

it's really just tedious and boring and, you know, all of that -- that mystery and stuff. it gets lost in these long, long speeches, and really don't -- it's not worth getting exorcised over because it's just so bad. >> i think it'll be the "game of throne" of st. peter when it comes out. >> couldn't resist that one. >> i could not. >> stephen, would you watch it? >> i'm going to at least watch it once. first of all, jude law is a great actor. no question about that and, secondly, controversy sells. i'm going to see what everybody is in an uproar about before i decide whether or not i'm going to watch it. >> leave it to stephen a. love that. now what could be the comeback for tiger woods. that's what you are here to talk about. he hasn't played professionally in 15 months. >> right. >> he is back now. a lot of people are talking about it. he looks good. >> well, he always looks good in recent years until he has to swing that golf club, and then obviously he doesn't look so good when you're ranked 257th in the world at the time. it's been a bad time. hasn't won a major since 2008 and when you think about tiger woods, it's all about the majors. he has won since then, but not

it's all about whether or not he will catch jack nicklaus' 18 majors. that's it. that's all anybody cares about. >> he's got 14. you don't think so. >> i don't think so. i think because of everything that he endured psychologically he was warped. when you come across as if you have been living a lie, and you get exposed for that, it's a lot to overcome. i think physically, and in terms of his skill set, he can compete with anybody in the world when he's at the top of his game. but his edge was also psychologica he intimidated opponents and intimidates nobody now. you have guys feeling sorry for him and hoping he resurrects himself so they can all get paid, because when tiger is successful, you all get paid. >> i was intimidated watching him on tv. i felt bad for the guys he was going against. i didn't realize it was 2008, it's been that long. we've seen great comebacks. all of us have seen them is there. >> i'm hopeful. >> i want everybody to answer this question. question for everybody. do you think tiger woods can be

women who experience workplace sexual harassment never report it. why? the fear of job retaliation. >> i think it always feels like an uncomfortable choice, and i have to really think about my values and what's important to me and weigh them against my career. >> i often feel like in the grand scheme of things, i'm just not that important to this company. in that moment i feel like there's an erasure of yourself. >> reporter: and yet all the women facing the problem in their own way. >> returned back. i didn't even try to get a paycheck. >> i work in engineering with a bunch of guys, and i'm very up front with them, and i tell them, look, you're allowed to make comments. i understand, but the minute you start coming after me, we'll have issues. >> reporter: jenny yang leads the federal commission tasked with investigating those claims and says gender-based putdowns can also be a form of sexual harassment because it's harassment based on one's gender. >> sexual harassment is very much about power, but sexual

involve propositioning. it can involve demeaning comments, crude language that makes women feel like they're in a hostile work environment. >> how many of you have been referred to, show of hands, as a girl, a doll, a babe or honey at work? >> sweetheart belongs on that list, as well. >> how many of you have heard you're too emotional? >> you're being too emotional. now don't get so emotional. that's the now word for sexism you say anything, you're emotional because you're a woman. >> reporter: and when we asked what can be done to stop this behavior. >> it starts in the home and it starts with the parents and it starts with our discussion with our young men and saying, this is not okay. >> reporter: and from the family room to the boardroom. >> it starts from the top. it requires your leadership to message clearly that harassment is not tolerated. >> reporter: and a message from our forum of women in the workplace that part of the solution may lie within us. >> i'm raising my voice because

>> to encourage other young women -- >> that they too can take a stand. >> to break out of silence. >> i'm speaking out against sexual harassment because it exists. >> because it even exists. >> because it exists, and it shouldn't. >> and it shouldn't, and as you saw there, when we asked how many women filed a complaint with the hr after experiencing or witnessing harassment, just two of them did, which is typical in these situations. statistics tell us as many as 70% of women do not report it and what happened next is very i asked, how many of you felt your report was met with something positive? every one of those women put their hands down. i was also struck, george, and we were talking about this. by this idea that it starts in the home. leslie, one of the women on the panel raised this idea that you have to teach your children. relatives, siblings. we have to be doing a better job of drawing the line in the home
