children. the problem here, george, is that his children are his most important political advisers so it's really hard to see how he can untangle this and expect the clinton campaign will make an issue of this virtually every day from now till november. >> ivanka will join us live. i want to ask about president obama. we saw him campaigning hard in philadelphia. >> sure did. >> what's his role now with the campaign? >> boy, he really seemed to have the mojo back there, didn't he? this was the obama of 2008, loving out there not just making the case for hillary clinton, but playing the attack dog going right at donald trump, you're going to see him out there a lot in the final months. >> like he's the vice presidential candidate. >> and he's loving it. >> okay, thank you very much. of course, as you said ivanka trump here in our next half hour. but now to that cyberhack targeting some of america's top athletes. u.s. officials defending them after files revealed simone biles, the williams sisters and

donne. apparently from the world anti-doping agency shows the players had used medications on the prohibited drug list but that in each case they had received approval for therapeutic use and had not sought to keep it secret from the testing agency. >> these documents prove these u.s. athletes played by the book and did everything that they were supposed to do. the complete opposite of what the russians did. >> reporter: in the case of the russians more than 100 of its athletes were banned from this what was called state-sponsored drug cheating. experts are now pointing at russia and its skilled cyberthieves for this latest hack all coming after the cyberattack into the computers of the democratic national committee. >> they're sending a message. if you screw around with russia and make russia unhappy, russia will get into your network, find something embarrassing and show the whole world. >> brian, all these hacks

say, yes they are and see certain telling details in each of the codes they use that all link back to moscow. >> they don't mind that you know. >> apparently not. that's the message they're trying to send as dick clarke said. >> more coming. >> several thousand overnight on the dnc put online not as explosive as the previous ones during the convention but a lot more coming. >> seems lying all the u.s. at lets taking it in stride and basketball star elena delle donne was surgery when she wrote with this picture with her thumb's up. i'd hike to thank the hackers for making the world aware that i legally take a prescription for a condition i've been diagnosed with, thanks, guys. >> because once again they did nothing wrong, these athletes did nothing wrong and played by the rules. >> played by the rules and nothing to be ashamed of. elena, happy rerecovery. hopefully a speedy recovery for you. let's switch gears and look at this video. a scary attack on officers in

planning three funerals right now. >> reporter: the two injured officers expected to be okay. for "good morning america," clayton sandell, abc news, denver. >> boy, just horrible right there. we move on now to that university of north carolina football player suss spended prosecutor the team after a woman accuses him of sexual assault and demands justice. linzie janis has the story. >> reporter: university of north carolina football player allen artis is suspended from the team his arrest for misdemeanor sexual assault. his accuser, delaney robinson, coming forward tuesday saying she hoped for harsher charges but felt authorities and the university were dragging their feet. >> my life has changed forever while the person who assaulted me remains as a student, as a football player on this campus. >> reporter: according to robinson after a night of drinking styx months ago at a

she said she never met before. she went straight to the hospital afterwards then to the police who she says treated her like a suspect. >> did i lead him on? have i hooked up with him before? do i often have one-night stands? did i even say no? >> reporter: robinson and her lawyers say an interrogation tapes they've seen investigators joked with her alleged attacker telling him to keep playing football and not to worry. >> this man how can this happen? >> reporter: also saying despite physical evidence the d.a. failed to charge artis so they settled for a lesser misdemeanor charge using an unusual north carolina law. robinson telling her story under oath to a magistrate who issued that arrest warrant. now if artis is convicted of that misdemeanor, he could face

the case is still open and more serious charges could still be brought. meanwhile, george, the university says privacy laws prevent it from commenting on the case. >> we will keep an eye on it. more trouble for samsung. the owner of a samsung galaxy note 7 says he was driving down a highway in florida charging his phone when it suddenly exploded. you see the aftermath right there. the fire spread through his entire car. this is just the lat samsung blames a battery cell issue telling them to power down the phone and has not issued an official recall. edward snowden says he deserves a pardon on moral grounds from president obama and says he claimed the country for the better when he exposed the secret surveillance programs. he is currently living in russia. and scientists trapped by polar bears at a weather station

the stereo speakers i mentioned, those were also enabled because of the jack is not there anymore. >> if you could go back to the airpods, that was a big deal. people are fearful it's going to fall out. i'm going to lose them. have you all discussed that. >> there is a little case that you put the airpods in, magnetically, they're sort of sucked down into the case, it's a great place to both charge them and keep them. awhile and because they don't have wires on them, the wires tend to help the airbud to fall out, right, because it applies weight on those. by snipping the wires, i have never personally had one fall out. >> let me see those. >> you got to see this. >> let me see these suckers. >> you got to see this. >> try it out. >> okay. >> i've been on treadmills.

help us support more victories for veterans. when i was diagnosed with pneumococcal pneumonia, it was huge for everybody. she just started to decline rapidly. i was rushed to the hospital. my symptoms were devastating. the doctor said, "pam! if you'd waited two more days, you would've died." pneumococcal pneumonia almost took me from them.

people say, let's just get a sandwich or something.

? sorry ? >> beyonce rocking the vmas. the "formation" tours one of the hottest around but could be a tough ticket to get. scalpers are buying up so many, reselling then at much higher prices. well, there's a battle before congress cracked down on all that. >> tickets through the roof. also right now, hillary clinton set to return to the campaign trail tomorrow after her battle with pneumonia. as ivanka trump joins her father overnight to talk child care. she's standing by to join us in a moment. this morning, uber is debuting self-driving cars in pittsburgh. a lot of people wondering about that. the cars are offering a hands-free ride but safety drivers will be behind the wheel. >> interesting. interesting.

protesters who rushed ryan lochte on "dancing with the stars," they're now revealing why they did it and we're going to tell you how the show is responding to that and what lochte is aing about that. all that coming up. >> we heard from tom bergeron yesterday. a lot more to come. first amy is over with ivanka trump. >> good morning. ivanka joined her father to roll out a new child care proposal guaranteeing maternity leave for new mother, the plan could help widen trump's appeal with women voters and here's what ivanka had to say about it. >> this it's a family issue. it's an american issue. it's an issue that's often been discussed but has yet to be solved. my father plans to change that. >> ivanka trump joins us now after that announcement last night and, ivanka, at the center of this plan, six weeks guaranteed paid maternity leave for mothers across the u.s. workforce. did it take any convincing? >> no, it's long overdue and

one component of a much larger plan dealing with one of the biggest issues in our country which is the inaffordable, inaccessible child care system that's failing american families so now child care is actually the single greatest household expense in much of the country exceeding even the cost of housing so a lot of people don't realize this, but families, families with young children especially before they get into the school system really need relief. plan for how to make child care more affordable, more accessible, create more optionality by regulation reduction and creating a more dynamic child care market so we were very excited about it and obviously the maternity leave component is one component that i feel very strongly about and i think is long overdue in this country. >> the clinton campaign quick to pounce on it saying that it wasn't good enough.

maternity leave? why not also deal with paternity leave, why did you not include fathers in the plan? >> well, i think we took a giant leap forward with the plan and, you know, respectfully, the hillary clinton has been around for decades and there's no policy benefiting either mothers or fathers in terms of paid leave. so i think the fact that we are advocating for this and advoc advocating forward so strongly and taking leadership on this is testament in itself to our thoughts on this subject, but certainly she had have a concept like that. >> for the record she's running though on her website she is guaranteeing up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave to care for a new child or a seriously ill family member. >> we have not been in public office for the last several decades and she has. so she could have instituted some of those policies in that role and has not done so. >> you're an executive vice president at the trump organization. you said last night that the trump organization headed by your father does offer paid

of employees of your father? >> it is and also adoption leave. so it's a great thing and at my own business since inception i've offered eight weeks paid leave, only 10% of american companies offer that benefit so it is quite unique and this policy is to encourage more companies and to encourage all americans to be able to get the benefit of it should they be new motherec and important. i'll go a step further in my own business i also offer flexible hours. i don't police sick days or vacation days, i really believe that when you hire people who are self-starters, you don't need to police those sorts of things and i think it's very important to create work environments that are results oriented and we've spoken about this a little in the past. >> we have, indeed. >> and i think especially for women who are managing so many

of the home the primary caregiver and the child care policy is so important because as primary care givers we're pulled in many directions and that's reflected in the fact that there's tremendous wage disparity and greater when you become a mother and now motherhood is the greatest preich iter of wage and equality even over gender. >> new questions being raised about what would happen to the trump organization if your father indeed becomes pde given the foreign investments and ties from the trump organization to foreign investments. what will you and your family do to prevent any potential con flibls of interest? >> there's something so much bigger than our business at stake and that's the future of this country. as a private business we can make decisions that are not in our best interest. we're not beholden 0 anyone to shareholders. we can say, you know what, we'll do less deals and not going to do that deal even though it's a

reasonable because it could create a conflict of interest and we'll act incredibly responsibly and my father already said he would put it into a blind trust and it would be run by us. so he's been very articulate on that fact and outspoken but this is so much bigger than another deal and we all recognize that. >> the candidates' health have become a big issue especially with hillary clinton. he told our david muir he might release more of dr. oz later today to discuss your father's health. can you tell us what he's prepared to release later today? >> i cannot. i'll allow him to release it when he does but i will tell you that the strength, the stamina that is required of what he does every day is unbelievable. and i was out on the campaign trail with him for one day yesterday and i need this coffee in the morning so he's does this every day.

>> his health is unbelievable. so i should be so lucky to keep his schedule these days. >> all right. ivanka trump as always we appreciate your time this morning. thank you. >> thank you. thank you for having me. >> back to you guys. >> all right. now, thank you, amy. coming up on our big board, jonbenet ramsey's brother breaking his silence about being a suspect in a murder. plus, the fight to get tickets to your favorite concerts and shows, a battle is now brewing with those bots buying and marking up ticket prices. for your wallet and our insiders will join us back in two

hadn't been under the cloud even though dna evidence cleared him. >> he wasn't a real suspect and i know a lot will be frustrated to hear him particularly episode two of dr. phil's interview. he was never a real suspect and not a real suspect now and this interview is making him seem like a suspect. he was 9 years old at the time. remember that. there are questions being asked, well, when this happened why didn't you say this and why didn't you include jonbenet in a years old at the time. 9-year-olds and that's another thing, by the way, if burke ramsey had committed this crime when he was interrogated at age 9, you don't think he would have cracked back at the time. >> a lot of people talking about his demeanor. his demeanor, unemotional but he's addressing it in this interview. but do you think -- why do you think he decided to speak out now. >> i think it was a mistake in retrospect. in particular watching him.

to lead people to ask more questions. i don't think it's a smile. i don't think he's happy. i think it's just an uncomfortable sort of facial thing and that is just the way he appears. i don't know burke ramsey but from watching the interview that's what it appeared to me but on the whole i don't think this was a smart thing to do. >> he was paid. >> he better have gotten paid a lot of money to do this otherwise there was no reason for him to do this because the whole way this is being framed on "dr. potential reason that burke ramsey did it. >> revelation. >> and he's going to respond to it today. >> he's not a suspect and even the people who think still to this day that john and patsy ramsey ought to be suspects, the people in law enforcement don't think burke ramsey ought to be a suspect and i think that's really important to remember. >> all right, well, we'll keep an eye on that story and keep watching. to the big headline about

stake in the company and became a spokesperson is showing signs of trouble and its ceo resigning and stocks have fallen and fitness expert chris powell is here, and chris is joining us live, and, chris, the oprah effect is real. we've all seen it. you attach oprah to your business and usually takes off and always and continues to be successful. in this case weight watchers, it's falling. what do you think is the reason for that? >> yeah, for years the "o" factor a grand slam for any business and in all fa actually up now at this point over where it was last year, you just saw that big $1.4 billion spike in a matter of a month and we've seen it fall 1.2 billion over the last nine months and so the thing is it's almost like losing 10 pounds and gaining 9 of it back. you still lost a pound. so but the biggest thing with oprah when she got on board we all including myself we all expected something exciting, new and innovative and wateight

can't afford to do that in this weight loss market space. >> there's so much competition, fitness trackers and new natural foods so weight watchers isn't there alone. >> yeah, you're right. you just said the magic words. it's these fitness trackers and apps, they are -- it's technology. that is the future of fitness and weight loss for 9 masses. they offer creative, fun, exciting ways to lose weight and educate you and bring in a whole community and with that going to be growing. >> we found out she likes bread like a lot of us do. >> she looks good, though. chris powell, thanks very much. moving on to that brewing battle against ticket callers. adele and beyonce have taken it on and "hamilton" taking on the fight calling on congress to regulate this. alex gale from "complex" magazine. what can congress do.

who has tried to buy a ticket for "hamilton" will tell you. they generally go for $199 and be on stubhub for $2,000. there was a report by the new york attorney general that had one company making $16 million in unlicensed ticket seller. ticketmaster had a lawsuit against another company that was buying 200,000 tickets a day and this is despite the fact they have security measures like captions where you have to type in weird letters and limits to where you can only buy four these bots have allowed them to get around it and the law that the senate is considering and will probably pass, you have a company in tennessee buying tickets in new york, and the enforcement is all over the map and all over the place. >> well, alex, if congress passes this bill that addresses this and president obama signs it, will it really fix the problem? >> you know, i think it's not really a legal problem in the

some of usa's star athletes. it revealed she tested positive for a typical estimate lapse used for treating adhd that was approved. she tweeted i have adhd and have taken medicine for it since i was a kid. please know i believe in clean spot and have always followed the rules. attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a condition usually diagnosed during childhood but often lasts well into dullhood.o concentrating, being overly active and one other decorated olympian has grappled with it surveillance michael phelps. here's her tweet. having adhd and taking medicine for it is nothing to be ashamed of. let's talk about this now with dr. jen ashton coming in again today, of course, it is nothing at all to be ashamed. we hear all the time about some kids especially going into college, even if they don't -- haven't been diagnosed with adhd they're taking the medicine.

stimulants and amphetamine is one of them. they have been out for over 50 years and profile in terms of safety, efficacy and side effects and risks is very well known. yes, it's a very common drug of abuse, especially in college kids and it really -- the data shows it probably works differently. when you give it to someone with adhd it helps focus and concentration via transmitters in the brain. if you give it to someone who doesn't have adhd, tre we talk about that all the time and the data, most of it shows it doesn't help you. >> what kind of a difference could it make to a gymnast. >> take a look at this. these are the common side effects that you can see with this medication. the things like increased heartrate, shortness of breath, no appetite or weight loss. no athlete would want any of these things. so, again, i think it's really important to understand here that while it's a banned substance if you have a

documentation there's nothing illegal medically. >> she had all the documentation but now that it has been revealed and speaking out about it, it could help people. >> i think it has to help people. this is something that affects about five some people, some say 10% of the population. there is no shame in the adhd game. it's 2016. if you had high blood pressure you would treat it and the more we talk about this is just a medical condition, the less stigma it has to have because a lot of people suffering with this feel end barsment and stop. >> i'm sure this is going to generate a lot of questions. you'll be on twitter all morning. coming up revealing the best new beauty products and makeup artists are touching up our audience members now. there you see it.
