7:02 am
in style on a surfboard which strikes me as a little dangerous when you're carrying fire making its way to the stadium where the nearly four-hour ceremony kicks off and 6,000 performers getting ready for their big moment. >> much more live from rio ahead. first want to get to those tornadoes down south. a twister with winds up to 80 miles an hour touching down in new orleans. destroying buildings. abc's steve osunsami is on the scene there for us with the latest. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, confirms what happened here was an ef-0 tornado. this is what's left of a home that was flattened. you can still smell the leaking sewage. authorities here were responding to three scenes just like this one at the same time. >> oh my god, oh my god. >> reporter: from office windows panicked residents could see it moving into town. >> i'm freaking out. >> it appears we had a tornado
7:03 am
nearly 80 miles per hour. >> the wind woe so strong it was picking us up. >> here's what it looked like on bourbon street a little more like a river. blocks away someone was livestreaming the damage when he came across strangers pulling a man from a building that fell on top of him. >> take your time. >> reporter: he walked away with only minor injuries. two people were hospitalized. at least three structures are destroyed this morning. a number of homes s two power lines fell in the streets. >> the swirl of debris a block away from my house coming this way that kind of looked like a bomb go off at first. >> reporter: the city says everyone is accounted for. >> looks like we have four spots, you know, where it touched down so, you know, we have all of our teams in all of the different locations. >> reporter: in florida they've now confirmed it was an ef-1 tornado that touched down for 17 minutes thursday afternoon. nearly 100-mile-an-hour winds
7:04 am
there were severe weather alerts firing up as the storm came through but no one expected this sudden burst of energy and destruction, robin. >> okay, steve, thank you. to rob marciano with the latest on where the severe weather is heading next. rob. >> good morning, robin. more storms expected across the southeast. a cluster of storms moving just west of st. louis. this is the same includclter th moved through. a rope tornado, these can be deceptive and can do damage. we had damage in iowa and cell did this as far as a waterspout in lake machine anowa. the four corners region here as we continue to get this tropical moisture feed from the south into the mountains, we get into the cole rockies. this could produce some mud slides with locally over 3 inches of rain. also looking for the heat to build across the central u.s. more about that in about ten minutes. dan, back over to you. to politics and donald trump
7:05 am
raft of new polls bearing some pretty rough news. look at this mcclatchey/marist poll showing hillary clinton up by 15 points. both clinton and president obama are piling on so how is trump reacting? abc's tom llamas is in washington with the latest. tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, good morning. trump loves to talk about his poll numbers but not right now. some of those new polls show trump in a freefall, something the president pointed out at his news conference where he went after the republican nominee. this morning donald trump dealing with taunts straight from the white house mocking his latest charge. >> i'm afraid the election is going to be rigged. i have to be honest. >> of course, the elections will not be rigged. what does that mean? the federal government doesn't run the election process. >> reporter: the president piling on as trump is still in the middle of an awkward dance with the gop. this week saying he's not ready
7:06 am
his primary race but trump's running mate did. ryan expressing his frustration. >> he's had a pretty strange run since the convention. you would think we ought to be focusing on hillary clinton, on all of her deficiencies. >> reporter: and another one, he's seen a video that doesn't exist apparently. with the obama administration taking heat for a payment to iran, this he say, trump telling crowds about a video showing that u.s. cash delivery. >> and the airplane coming in and the money coming off, i guess, right? that was given to us, has to be by the iranians. >> reporter: but trump's own campaign telling abc news trump is referring to footage he recently saw on fox news. but that video is not of the money transfer, rather of american prisoners who were in
7:07 am
geneva back in january. trump sending out this tweet. the plane i saw on television was the hostage plane in geneva, switzer, land, not the plane carrying $400 million in cash going to iran. now, it's unclear if trump is acknowledging his mistake or trying to say that's what he meant from the start but from the get-go he's been describing it as a cash payment which clearly it was not. robin. >> all right, thank you. for more let's bring in abc's chief white house correspondent numbers there, not good here right now for trump. >> it looks like a freefall. take another look at that mcclatchey poll, 48/33, trump at 33%. those are the kind of numbers we saw in 1972 when george mcgovern lost 49 states. so it looks really bad and it's not just that poll but three polls over the last 48 hours that have shown trump down ten points on fox news, nine points
7:08 am
>> but the trump campaign maintain they have never been stronger, things are good and raising a large amount of money and their contention is there is a long time between now and november. how does he turn it around? >> there really is. one thing that's concerning for the trump campaign, polls are like oxygen to donald trump. i mean i watched him throughout that entire primary and go up in those rallies and have a single piece of paper on the podium. that would be the latest polling numbers and he would tick through. he's never seen a situation where he's poll numbers but it is very early and here's the other important point, hillary clinton's numbers are not going up. she's still below 50% in those polls. she's gone up just a tick. he's gone way down. >> let's talk about hillary clinton. she, of course, was out campaigning and there was quite a moment at one of her events when animal right protesters had something to say. let's take a look. >> we'll keep talking and we'll -- and apparently these people are here to protest trump
7:09 am
killed a lot of animals, so thank you for making that point. >> she was able to turn it around. >> it was really interesting moment. those protesters were saying until every animal is free, i mean that was their mantras coming up to the stage. kind of a scary moment and, of course, was referring to the fact that the trump sons went on a safari in africa five years ago and a picture of a cheetah they killed. i don't think it was a planned attack. the clintons have been so incredibly chelsea. i thought it was highly unusual to see her go after the trump kids, of course, they're big surrogates for their dad, though. >> have a good weekend, dan. all right, robin, we move on to the urgent search for a serial killer on the loose in phoenix. police now linking him to a ninth attack, seven of these attacks have been fatal. thankfully in this most recent one nobody got hurt. abc's clayton sandell is in phoenix this morning with the latest on the investigation. clayton, good morning to you. >> reporter: and good morning, dan. police here are urging residents
7:10 am
suspicious, they need a break in this case and they need it fast. this morning authorities in phoenix are on the hunt for a serial killer they say has struck again. >> we're concerned because he obviously doesn't even care who is in the car. >> reporter: investigators discovering evidence linking one suspect to a total of nine shootings. the latest attack july 11th when police say the gunman shot at a man and a 4-year-old boy in a car, luckily they were not hurt. >> too close to home. >> reporter: the series of seem master tied this community since march, seven people so far shot dead. two others wounded. the youngest victim maleah ellis while sitting in a car in front of her own home. two women including her mother were also killed. >> they shot movie, whatever, they did it together. >> reporter: police believe the suspect may be driving different cars including a black bmw like
7:11 am
clues and investigators are frustrated. >> the ran democratness and gee graphical area is presenting a challenge for us. what's even more frustrating is we know somebody knows who is doing this. >> reporter: to help convince some of those people to come forward investigators have upped their reward to $50,000. >> hopefully that will help, clayton, thank you. now to that deadly knife attack in london learning more about the american woman killed and the 19-year-old suspect now in custody. as security steps up across that abc's alex marquardt is there in london with the very latest. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, robin. that's right the police saying that this young attacker has mental health issues and the response showing you how on edge the city is and learning more about the american victim wrapping up her summer in london, due to fly home the very next day. just minutes after the stabbing rampage started police responded. this cell phone video showing officers pinning the attacker to
7:12 am
with a taser. >> i could hear the policeman screaming, stop, don't move. don't go any further. just stay where you are and he turned around and continued running. >> reporter: a new photo identified as 19-year-old zakaria buhan who grew up in london and reportedly had been suicidal and police recovered no links to terror blaming mental instability. >> we believe it's a spontaneous attack and victims were selected at >> reporter: among the six stabbed were two americans including darlene horton, who succumbed to her wounds soon after the police arrived. it was the 64-year-old's last night in london before she was due to go home to florida after spending the summer here with husband richard wagner, a professor at an fsu summer program. israeli lavelle was also wounded in the attack. >> we saw the lady laying down
7:13 am
her a& i realized and looked at my arm and saw she was bleeding and realized that he stabbed me. >> reporter: dr. wagner, the husband of the victim is a psychology professor at fsu. the university putting out a statement saying there are no words to express our heartache over this terrible tragedy. we are shocked. this senseless violence has touched our own fsu family, dan. >> there are no words. >> no, alex, thank you. incredibly sad. also just in texas this morning police are dealing with a massive and high-tech car theft ring. this surveillance video shows 1 of 100 heists in houston. authorities say hackers got into the vehicles electronically and they have a pair of suspects in custody and abc's david kerley has the latest. david, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. it has been a mystery this rash of car thefts but have seen this video and they're finding an unlocked car and getting in with their laptop and able to
7:14 am
here just one example. a man carrying a laptop gets into an unlocked grand cherokee and looks like he plugged something into the car and soon the headlights come on, the car backs out and it is gone in less than four minutes. >> we're not sure what it is that they're -- and how they're manipulating the software to be able to get the vehicle to start. >> reporter: police and federal authorities say 100 cars stolen in the houston area transported into mexico. finally police say they caught these two men in their early 20s hack a jeep fiat chrysler vehicle and found blank keys in their house and suggest they have been hacking through the port that technicians use to service vehicles. this another one. jeep's parent company says it's cooperating with the investigation. adds the company takes the security of its customers seriously and incorporates security features in its vikes. this is the same car company that had to come out with a software patch after a couple of

7:31 am
coming up. talking about summer jobs in general, who is getting them and who's not? >> what was your -- >> i was a diving coach and lifeguard. >> tennis coach. >> you were? >> made 400 bucks for the whole summer. >> hit a backhand finally. >> when i was 14 my mom made me work at dunkin' donuts. >> made you. >> made me. i gained like 15 pounds that summer and we had serious munchkin wars in the back room. >> dan wins. >> the latest on that jogging murder mystery in new york. police scouring the park where a young woman was killed. her body discovered after she disappeared on a run. investigators are poring over cell phone data looking for clues and abc's linsey davis has the latest. >> reporter: police continue scouring the jogging path where karina vetrano was sexually assaulted and murdered. >> we plan to chop down every weed in that location until we
7:32 am
evidence. >> reporter: detectives describe what may be a case of stranger rape and they're desperate to find any clues that could lead them to the person that attacked the 30-year-old in broad daylight as she ran a trail just blocks from her home. >> she just never stopped smiling over the course of four years i knew her. >> reporter: pierre tkarina vet found face down in the shoulder high grass >> if he lives in the area he might do it again. >> reporter: dna evidence found at the scene may be their best answer. >> we're hoping to get a dna profile in the next couple of days and hope to get a match. >> reporter: also examining digital evidence and believe her cell phone could provide details. >> they can ping down certain times and places moving along the path and work with the telephone company to narrow it
7:33 am
feesh. >> reporter: the spokesman has been trying to get the word out saying someone is soliciting money for a memorial fund. they say this is bogus. her funeral is scheduled to take place tomorrow at noon, robin. >> inexcusable to take advantage of that. okay. thank you, linsey. joining us now nancy grace, host of "nancy grace" on hln. always good to get your insight. what sort of evidence are investigators looking for and are discovering right >> well, i think they've got two avenues of evidence, each one equally as strong as the other. first of all as i call it, body forensics. this woman, karina vetrano in exceptional physical shape. she put up the fight of her lifetime. her teeth were broken. she was covered in bruised. she was found face down but let
7:34 am
she did, there is going to be dna under her fingernails. here's the issue with dna. you can get dna but you've got to have something to match it to. until you have something to match it to, it's no good for you so i'm thinking there may be dna under her nails as well as a condom and wrapper was found nearby. now if there was a random attack do i believe the perpetrator thought ahead to bring a condom? not necessarily but you ignore it. also you've got her cell phone. was there any dna on it? i doubt it. i think the best course of dna is going to be body forensics. second avenue is cell phone. what the police did from our sources is they went out with special stingray equipment from the nypd, i've seen it brought in all across the country from nypd to help with cell phone collection and they automatically pinged her.
7:35 am
equipment, their specialized equipment from a special nypd unit, that night around 10:00. and i believe that helped them. now, another thing they can do and i've consulted with telecommunication experts on this is call a data dump. what you heard them just saying is they're going to look at cell to youers, translation. they can download all the cell phones being used in that area between 5:00 and 10:00 that night. if the perpendicular had a cell >> they will. >> and as you said, the police are pretty much at this point saying, it was a random act but they can't rule out anything at this point, right, nancy? >> absolutely not and i can tell you that they haven't and that's why they went and talked to the ex-boyfriend. they had broken up two days before this. he had an airtight alibi but other guys may have wanted to
7:36 am
seen her jogging. she ran between three and five mires at every run practically every day. this is the thing she did with her father. typically he would be with her. why was she targeted this day when he was not there. they're going down that route, people that may have known her. >> hopefully the investigators can put it all together. so good to see you, nancy. take care. investigators are trying to solve another mystery, the mystery behind the devastating home explosion in connecticut. seven people hurt and they're looking for survivors pulling people trapped out of the rubble. what caused this? abc's linzie janis is here with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: the blast lifted the entire home off the ground apparently. dozens of firefighters responded to the scene and saved those people. this is what's left of a two-story connecticut home after it exploded. then collapsed.
7:37 am
children injured. >> 41 responding. multiple calls for a house explosion. >> reporter: dozens of first responders rushing to the scene digging through the debris at 4:00 in the afternoon to quickly save everyone trapped inside. >> neighbors are reported they believe occupants were on the second floor. >> reporter: those hurt were taken to several area hospitals. >> i've known some of these people since they were little kids and it's us -- i hope everyone is all right. >> reporter: the home's bathroom now in pieces the roof on top of a car. >> the house is not on fire. it's smoking. it completely -- it just crumbled. >> this is very, very catastrophic damage. damage that we don't normally see. >> reporter: this morning the cause of the blast not yet known. the power company and fire marshals investigating the possibility of a gas leak. gas leaks were to blame for this explosion caught on camera in new jersey last year.
7:38 am
instant. and this explosion in maryland, that destroyed six town homes. three of the children injured in this latest house blast remain in the hospital. again, they're still investigating to find out what caused it. >> i hope they do. >> thank you, linzie, appreciate it. over to lara. thank you so much. coming up on our big board, a big mob bust. what investigators found during a huge arrest. and could it be the end of a click bait. why those grabby but misleading headlines about dogs and their priceless reactions may no longer be on your facebook feed. and the first daughter's new summer job jumping behind the counter. all the details when our experts join us in two minutes on the

7:41 am
let's get to the first story. a major mob bust. more than 40 members of high-profile crime families arrested in a multistate operation led by the fbi and the nypd and we're joined now by former nypd detective and abc news contributor nick casale. nick, i want to ask you what can you tell us about this bust? why now? why so big. >> well, it was a great bus. law enforcement put a dent in the declining mob and took a couple of good names, they took genovese and it shows that they're still in business and still doing racketeering but everybody is on top of them. it's a good collar. i mean, when you look at the indictment, it reads almost as a mixture between a gangland movie like "casino" or "good fellas"
7:42 am
mustache pete. >> harpo, stymie. one guy decided to go with brad. let me ask -- >> he's the yuppie of the group. >> he's the yuppie of the group. you talked about the declining mob. and for years that's been the conventional wisdom that it's declining but what are these arrests say about that alleged decline? >> well, you know, they tell us two things, one is the mob is in decline. th organized crime investigations from over 100 to less than 40, so has the nypd. but there are four things you have to remember about the mob, one, they have no problem recruiting people. they still have the ability to corrupt american business, politicians and law enforcement. they're profitable but the key is that they rule by fear. so, you know, the wiseguy is not out of the game. >> all right. they rule by fear which is probably why i shouldn't have
7:43 am
next, the old bait and click facebook announcing its cracking down on misleading click bait. those sensational headlines seemingly genetically engineered to grab your attention and abc's tech contributor becky worley joins us now. hey, becky. >> good morning. click bait, dan. you know, it's a huge problem for three reasons and, number two, that will leave you speechless. you're seeing the headlines. once you looked under a couch and saw this, i was shocked. misleading, incomplete headlines and take to you sites with questionable information. why is it a problem? 62% of americans getting news from facebook so if a lot of those are a huge waste of time, well, a lot of mistrust and when it comes to news we all know you have to trust the source. >> what are they doing, becky, to fight it now? what's different? >> well, yeah, so you've heard about the feed al ga rhythm. what they used to do, identify
7:44 am
if a lot clicked back to facebook immediately or they quickly unliked something, it looked suspicious but now facebook telling me they're going to use software analyzing headlines kind of like spam filters, pushing those articles out of use. so, lara, viewers can click more meaningful links and you won't believe what they do next. >> but, beck, would you say some advice for viewers, try to constrain yourself from cli >> you can always cease the source, look at the source and say no. >> becky the techie, your name. >> i like it. the first daughter is spending her daughter outside the white house workiing at a sapp food restaurant. here to talk about millennial, summer job, do they have them.
7:45 am
natasha, can i take your order? why do you have six dudes with her. >> she's going by natasha on martha's vineyard but there working at nancy's. been around for generations, she has the hat, the uniform but her secret service agents are in tow. 15 years old. not a full summer job, only there a short time and will stop vacation this weekend. her older sister malia had jobs with as an intern on a show that starred halle berry and on a show with lena dunham. >> that's going to be good experience for her an one of the best, most humbling experiences i ever had was working at a restaurant when i was in college. >> very good to do. >> brings you down to earth like
7:46 am
about that but fewer and fewer millennials are taking summer jobs like this. do you think natasha will change that trend? >> this is getting a lot of attention but in part the jobs aren't there so a few decades ago, '70s and ''80 50% had jobs. now it's down and kids can't pay for college with a summer job job. nick? >> intern at king's county supreme court. >> very fannie, nick. >> how about you, becky? >> i waitressed the breakfast shift at a japanese restaurant. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> oh, that's so good. >> doesn't get any weirder. >> i was thinking about mine. i was a diving coach and lifeguard. after college i went to europe and i was in a diving show and they were like, oh, you'll be the --
