louisiana to shreveport up to kansas city and st. louis. they are in an excessive heat warning. that means air temperatures will reach 100 in little rock and memphis but will feel up to 110, even 113 in some places then tomorrow's highs because it's sticky it's hot and it could be if you're exposed for cumulative days dangerous. i'm more concerned about the heat and the potential records out west. we won't have records here in the east. sacramento stays in the 100s. very dry, very gusty, terrible for the fire conditions and that's why we head to our matt gutman there at the lowell fire. matt. >> reporter: good morning, ginger. just over the past hour the fire has really blown up about a half mile away from us now. we tried to get to the fire line. firefighters stopped us. you could hear the intensity in their voices right now and this is the problem. wind carrying the fire up the hill and across this valley and that's the case for firefighters across california this morning. overnight with new fires

what sent it. investigators are investigating whether it came from the same person. state officials will be testing that substance and may learn more today about what we're dealing with george. >> okay pierre. we have seen these kind of attacks before, thanks. to you to a real scare in the sky. a crowded passenger plane from china to dallas forced to turn around after it was struck by hail. you can see the damage to the nose right there. the plane did land safely and abc's jim avila has our story. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning lara. it was a short flight less than an hour but passengers aboard one of the newest planes will not forget. this morning a look at what severe hail can do to a modern jetliner. >> yeah wow. >> reporter: this brand-new boeing dreamliner took off monday an american airlines flight from beijing headed to dallas/ft. worth. 44 minutes into the flight the plane hit severe weather. >> all we can tell you it was just crazy, going sideways up and down. >> it was scary. >> we dropped a good few hundred

feet at least. >> i thought the plane was going down actually. >> that feeling of shhh. >> reporter: the pilots pump turned back and landed safely but with some major depths in the nose cone. >> hail can damage an airplane to the point that it actually brings an airplane down if it damages engines or control surfaces it can make it unfly unfliable. >> reporter: it's not the first time this happened. in june this 747 forced to land after hail pummeled the nose and wings so badly, delta grounded the plane permanently. as for that dreamliner fortunately none of that dreamliner's 222 passengers and crew on board was hurt. the nose cone covers some radar equipment, but the plane's operations were not hindered. remember this plane is made completely of carbon fiber so it could take some time to repair. george. >> okay jim, thanks. we have the race for president now. your voice, your vote and what it takes to get noticed in this

door. i know exactly what it looks like. >> reporter: refusing to apologize. >> i will not apologize and i will not recant and no one loves israel more. >> reporter: president obama even weighing in from africa. >> in 18 months i'm turning over the keys i want to make sure i'm turning over the keys to somebody who is serious about the serious problems that the country faces and the world faces. >> reporter: the president saying presidential hopefuls seem to be trying to outtrump trump who's been dominating news cycles and polls. >>able pro the worst president in the history of our country. >> maybe this issis just an effort to push mr. trump out of the headlines. but it's not the kind of leadership that is needed for america right now. >> reporter: and we're now nine days away from the first republican debate. the top ten candidates from the five most recent national polls would make the main stage and right now let's take a look. that's trump, bush walker rubio, paul cruz huckabee carson christie and perry.

looks like a crowded field but six won't qualify for the main event in that's true and lots and lots to say. thank you, tom. turning to that urgent search for those two missing teens lost at sea, the coast guard expanding its hunt while families hold out hope they may have grabbed something to stay afloat when their boat capsized. kendis gibson is in jupiter, florida, with all the latest. good morning, kendis. >> reporter: good morning, lara. this is this spot where those teenagers made a critical decision left the safety of the inlet for the atlantic ocean right over there. now, family and friends hoping they make an important decision and 0 clinging on to a cooler like this or another floating device. this morning the coast guard expanding its mh for 14-year-old austin stefanos and perry cohen. aircrafts and boats now patrolling 27,000 square nautical miles of ocean. >> somebody's on board. >> reporter: newly released video showing this capsizing 67 miles from the shore.

criticizing the boys' families for allowing them to go out. even the coast guard doesn't have age limitations. lighting up the night sky over jupiter last night with this. this by the way, is the same location where more than 100 came out for that vigil last night. the coast guard captain in charge of this entire operation telling me personally they do not plan to give up. lara. >> all right. none of us will give up. thank you so much kendis. to amy with the other top stories starting with a big decision by the boy scouts. >> that's right. we have new reaction overnight to the decision by the boy scouts to lift the ban on gay scout leaders. the organization says church-based units will still be allowed to exclude gay adults but the mormon church a major sponsor of the boy scouts is protesting the move and threatening to quit the organization saying its century long association with scouting will need to be examined. also breaking overnight a tragic end to the search for a missing 8-year-old in northern

california. police in santa cruz say the body of madyson middleton has been found behind the apartment complex where she lived. she was last seen sunday riding her scooter. a 15-year-old boy who lived in the same complex is now under arrest and being questioned. people in oklahoma have been rattled by a series of earthquakes, groceries were knocked off the chefs near the epi epicenter north of oklahoma city. look at that. the biggest quake, a magnitude 4.5 about 2 million people felt that shaking, experts have linked oil and gas drilling to a 50% increase in quakes in that area in recent years. and some tense moments on the road as a robbery suspect led police on a nearly two-hour chase between new jersey and philadelphia of the man speeding through a mall parking lot until finally a state trooper clipped him on this corner flipping the van over. he climbed out of the window but then quickly surrendered. a bizarre case of stolen cash caught on camera. two workers on their way to filling atms in new jersey say

they inadvertently left a bag full of $141,000 in cash right there on that lawn. then you see later thiefs in a van drive by and pick it up. police say by the time the workers realized their mistake and they went back the thieves were long gone with the cash and they do not believe this was an inside job. finally, a race that really turned up the heat. a local gas company dressed kids up as appliances for this race between innings at a baseball game in michigan. things got off to a rocky start when the oven overheated. >> oh! >> minutes later it was the dryer taking a tumble. the water heater thought it had just the right thing to win but the others race back in a big collision. this until he tripped and lost everything to the dryer.

>> always good to watch. so funny. >> the dryer by a nose. >> did you guys get any of my puns? >> we got them all. >> the oven overheated. >> i was proud of you. >> a future in sports casting. >> i don't know if you call that sports. >> thanks amy. we turn to an outrageous 911 call out of new mexico. it came from a woman trying to save a teenager who was shot at a party. you hear a dispatcher tell the woman she's on her own then hang up after the caller snapped at him. abc's reena ninan has the story. good morning. >> 911 operators are trained to keep you talking so they know what resources to dispatch. the other thing about 911 call they're always recorded. even if the operator decides they've had enough. >> i'm doing cpr as we speak. >> is he not breathing? >> barely. stay with him. [ inaudible ]. stay with him. good job. just stay with me, okay, okay.

there you go. good job. >> this is the desperate call following a fatal drive-by shooting last month. a woman fan particularly calling 911 looking for help to save 17-year-old jaydn cha chez silver's life. the dispatcher allegedly hangs up. >> is he breathing? >> he's barely breathing. how many times do i have to [ bleep ] tell you. >> okay you know you can do this yourself. >> that's when the phone line goes dead. officials say units were on their way to the albuquerque scene but chavez silver passed away. the dispatcher that answered the call for the teen who dreamed about flying in the air force this morning on administrative leave. the department now investigating. police have not named suspects in the shooting. they believe the teen was not the intended target. just wrong place, wrong time. as for that 911 operator the

local fire chief says they take these allegations very seriously, george. >> as they should that is tragic. reena, thanks very much. switching gears now, big day for football. >> yeah it is history being made in the nfl this morning. the arizona cardinals have become the first team to hire a female coach and abc's t.j. holmes is here with the story. good morning, t.j. >> strahan, get this she is going to be coaching inside linebackers, guys known as some of the toughest and smartest guys on defense with all due respect, of course, strahan. this is jen welter. you'll hear a lot of words to describe her pioneer, trail blazerment make sure you use another word, as well, qualified. overnight the arizona cardinals soaring into the history books? sacked again? a team naming jen welter to its training camp and preseason coaching staff believed to be the first female ever to hold a coaching position in the nfl. >> she has a very accomplished background in terrells of playing and coaching. she understands the game she's play the game. >> reporter: she will coach the

linebackers and is no stranger to football first. the former college rugby player known as the first lady of men's pro football becoming the first female to coach in a men's pro league the indoor football league and in 2014 becoming the first woman to play a nonkicking position in a men's pro league despite being only 5'2" and 130 pounds. >> everybody wanted to see like oh my gosh, what's going to happen when she gets hit for the first time and i got hit and popped right back up and we lined back up and did it again. >> reporter: welter the latest to burst through that ceiling. she follows sara thomas who in april was hired as the league's first full time female referee. the league's newest barrier breaker tweetingover night "i'm honored to be part of the bird gang. love the football family here with thecardinals." and her new players already returning the love. pro bowler patrick peterson tweeting one team one goal of the let's go to work coach.

good morning, america. right now, dangerous heat stretching across the country this morning. heat advisories in the south. the east bracing for a possible wave. triple digit temperatures are fueling the wildfires in the west. also federal officials will be grilled on capitol hill today about those live anthrax samples that were sent accidentally to dozens of labs around the country of the a major investigation underway. also in the headlines right now, that prison worker who helped those two killers escape in upstate new york is heading to court. joyce mitchell is reportedly hoping to reach a plea deal. we say good morning, america. a lot to get to. check out this picture, imagine waking up next to this 5,000-pound tree right on your bed. a 20-year-old woman was actually in the bed when the tree came down fell right on top of her and actually the emergency responder said it took a long time to get her out. it was the way she was sleeping that may have saved her life. >> she was sleeping when it happened.

she is so lucky. we'll have more on that coming up. we want to begin with bobbi kristina brown. still so many questions about how and why she died. authorities say the investigation is open. it is active and abc's david wright is tracking it all for us this morning. good morning, david. >> good morning, lara. bobbi kristina brown never regained consciousness to explain how she ended up face down in her own bathtub, the initial autopsy completed yesterday didn't explain it either and what's not clear is was she the victim of her own lifestyle or of a crime? >> 21-year-old female in the bathtub face down. >> reporter: this morning new questions about the day last january that bobbi kristina brown's boyfriend found her unresponsive in the bathtub of her suburban atlanta home. >> there is cpr in progress. we're getting a third party that is not on scene. she is gurgling at this time. >> reporter: the medical examiner tells abc news the initial autopsy is inconclusive and does not show an underlying cause of death or any significant injuries.

the question of how and why she died still the focus of an active investigation. subpoenas issued. ♪ and i ♪ >> reporter: one big question could drugs have been a factor? as they were for her famous mother whitney houston who drowned in a hotel bathtub nearly three years to the day earlier. >> she said she'd learned from her mother's mistakes and was looking to move on and grow and move past her drug use. >> reporter: anotherlity that a recent car crash might be to blame. just four days before she slipped into a coma bobbi kristina crashed her friend's jeep into an oncoming car or is there some other explanation? brown was last seen publicly the week before her death leaving a cvs store with her boyfriend nick gordon. sources close to the couple say they had a stormy relationship. brown's conservators recently served gordon with a $40 million lawsuit claiming he stole her money. and physically abused her. allegations gordon denies.

according to the suit when she entered the hospital her mouth was swollen and one of her teeth knocked out. as whitney houston's sole heir bobbi kristina brown was set to inherit some $20 million. the boyfriend has not been criminally charged. his mother tells abc news he is in mourn that her son loved her and cared for her deeply. one more tragic detail to add, lara or george is that she's being buried next to her mom. >> okay david thanks very much. dan abrams here right now. david just talked about the $20 million bobbi kristina was set to inherit. what happens to that? >> you go the to separate it out into the money ha she's already received from the will which is a couple million dollars. that goes to her estate that could likely end up with bobby brown. the rest of it goes back to what whitney houston's will said so because she didn't get the rest of that $20 million, you go back to whitney houston's will to see who else would get the money if

bobbi kristina didn't survive so i think you're talking about relatives of whitney houston. >> meantime, you got this investigation that's been going on for six months now still open and active as they said so how does bobbi kristina's death change the investigation. >> you would think if there was a crime committed, right, if they believed there was at least an assault before she died they would have charged it. it suggests to me they're having some trouble identifying exactly what they want to do here. they're making statements publicly which make it clear that they view him as a possible suspect here. >> the boyfriend. >> that's right but they have not charged him yet. i think that the death will certainly expedite the investigation. doesn't mean he'll get charged but it mines that it will expedite the investigation in a way where i think they've been sort of waiting a little bit to see what happens, sadly she's died now. that's going to put pressure on them. in addition to the fact that there's now a civil lawsuit that's been filed against him. >> the family clearly thinks he had something -- at least something to do with it.

how does it change things. >> it doesn't change it for the investigation. shouldn't change it for the investigation and even in the civil lawsuit, they're sort of shying away it seems a little bit, from the actual issue of did he kill her? they're focusing on money issue, the fact he assaulted her in the past they say, so civil lawsuit, again, remember lower burden of proof. even if there are no charges here even if the authorities say, we don't think we have enough to move forward and charge someone in connection with this you still have the civil lawsuit where the legal standard is just more likely than not. a preponderance of the evidence. >> okay dan abrams thanks very much. george and dan we turn to that young woman so lucky to be alive this morning after surviving a 2 1/2-ton tree that crashed through her roof trapping her in bed all while she was sound asleep. abc's gio benitez has our story. good morning to you, gio. >> reporter: oh lara such an incredible story, good morning to you. that tree just about as big as this one and that is why so many this morning are calling this story a miracle.

this morning an incredible image on new york's long island. a massive tree weighing 5,000 pounds crashing right through a family's home at midnight pinning a 20-year-old woman right to her bed. incredibly the young woman alive but stuck. >> when you saw this damage you must have been thinking my gosh she is lucky. >> yeah no absolutely that was some of the most extensive i've ever seen. >> reporter: dozens of rescuers working for two hours using hydraulic lifts to free the woman. overnight that 20-year-old telling abc news she's thankful to be alive. >> she was great. she was talking to us and she was able to tell us what was going on. >> reporter: emergency responders crediting her survival to the fact that she was sleeping on her side saying near mere inches separated her from more serious injury. so many now asking w caused that tree to come crashing down? this morning, word that the tree was rotting at the base. when you look at pieces of this tree it looks totally fine. it's not until you get to the

very base that you realize it's rotting. it happens more often than you'd think. this tree in massachusetts suddenly crashing down on a playground injuring two children. what are some of the signs? >> you know decay or a lot of insect activity around the tree. >> reporter: and a lot of us don't think about this but really arborists say you should have your trees inspected at least once a year many on your own look at that tree and see if there's any sign of decay. >> good advice. that tree was enormous. she is so lucky. turning now to ink goer and i know you've got a massive tornado to talk about. >> this is the season for them in canada. good enough that we had to show you. fortunately no one injured that we can find and looks like just a little bit of damage so just awesome video to see and to remind you that severe weather season is still on hard core through the northern dakotas just east of the northern rockies. and if you want south dakota hail you had plenty of it yesterday in custer.

smartphone and tablet users could be in danger of being hit with a hack attack exposing all of your personal information. abc's mara schiavocampo is here with all the details. good morning, mara. >> reporter: lara good morning. it's being called one of the most serious potential threats to android ever uncovered. possibly allowing a hacker access to all of your most sensitive information and you'd never even know they'd been there. android, the most popular mobile operating system in the world used on up to a billion phones. this morning, as many as 95% of these phones are vulnerable to a malicious new attack. a cybersecurity expert warning of a massive security flaw that could allow a hacker to break into your phone just by having your number. >> to be exploited before the user noticed anything. that is very dangerous. >> reporter: here's how it works. hackers create a short video with malware hidden inside then secretary it to you and the

scary new twist, you don't even have to open it for the bug to access your phone. when your phone receives message it begins processing the video and that's what lefts the bad guys in giving them access to all of your data everything from contacts to photos even letting them take over your microphone and camera to monitor your every word and move. >> android devices get software updates inconsistently which is incredibly scary. it leaves users kind of in a lurch. >> reporter: similar to what happens when they embed malware in phone apps as we were shown. look what happens when he takes my picture. can we see the photo? will it appear there? and sure enough it's now on his laptop. the phone was even recording our entire conversation. >> right now a command was sent to the phone much it is eavesdropping on the microphone right now. >> reporter: this is the conversation we were just having? >> yeah we were being spied on. >> reporter: with this latest

android threat experts don't believe any hackers have actually done it yet. in a statement android maker google says we've already responded quickly to this issue by sending the fix for all android devices to our partners. really scary stuff. now some experts saying using your phone's default message app might help but the real fix has to come from the phone's manufacturer. if you have an iphone you're in luck. this vulnerability does not affect iphones as it targets androids specifically. >> all right, well, that's good news for some of us but still really scary. thank you so much mara. we have a lot more coming up. did you see this picture? outrageous. it is a bit of a party in the cockpit of a big commercial airliner. yeah, that's one of the pilots. buying a used car can be a scary proposition. you walk onto that lot and immediately you are surrounded like a guppy in a shark tank. it just feels like car salesmen want to sell whatever car is best for them, not best for me.

involving hormone shots and an these ya so some are asking is it right to put a price limit on it? 30-year-old katie o'reilly is one of thousands of women would donated her eggs to help others start a family. >> my initial reason for donating was financial. >> reporter: she was paid $8,000 but says it was far from easy. >> i got very very bloated. i was also very exhausted all the time. i experienced fainting spells and i was in severe abdominal pain. >> reporter: the process has o'reilly and others asking who controls the price of a human egg? that question at the center of a lawsuit filed by two women on behalf of all egg donors claiming fertility clinics have capped the value. the society for assisted pro-productive technology and american society of reproductive medicine that set the standard. anything more than $5,000 requires justification, they say, and more than $10,000 isn't

appropriate. the lawyer in the lawsuit calls that naked, illegal price-fixing saying those regulations leave donors deprived of the benefit of free and open competition? because it's my body it should be my decision what i choose to get for compensation for something like that. i think that having a price cap is a bit arbitrary. >> reporter: gina-marie happily donated her eggs four times but thinks she should have set her own price. >> by me becoming an egg donor and helping the intended parents achieve their goals of having a family they helped me achieve my dreams for setting myself up for the life i always wanted. >> reporter: she isn't complaining about the $38,000 she banked for her eggs. it helped put her through law school. what if choosy families had been willing to pay her more given her intelligence. some worry we open the door to desperate women selling their eggs to the highest bidder or putting their health at risk to make money interest their genetic material all things that

will probably come out in this lawsuit. george. >> a lot of issues to work through. deborah, thanks so much. we're joined by dr. jen ashton and dan abrams is back. walk us through the process of donation. >> medically this is a very extend tiff process. the first thing a woman considering donating her eggs has to go through is a general medical evaluation. make sure she's healthy enough to go through it then we suppress the donor's ovarian function so we can override that take control then stimulate they are ovaries with daily injections of hormones then there's monitoring with ultrasound sonograms to know when you're going to retrieve those eggs and then the egg retrieveal process involves an these ya risks of bleeding infection, damaged internal organs with a very long needle. takes three to five weeks? we heard one woman, $38,000 for her eggs. how is the price set? >> when you talk about donating eggs versus sperm, it's not apples to apples.

when the talk about the sperm donation it's based on an hourly rate so men are paid $60 to $75 an hour and they have estimated that women take about 56 hours to go through this entire process so they arrive at a price of $4,000. these are not equivalent processes. men, first of all, can donate 2 million sperm at a pop. women are born with 300 eggs that they off late over their reproductive lifetime. >> dan, i know these egg donation prices are just guidelines so where does a lawsuit come? no specific legal caps. >> the clinics are signing up agreeing to abide by these particular guidelines. this a pretty strong lawsuit. i mean when you think about the fact that the purpose of the law, right the antitrust law is to say that businesses entities covertly or overtly, can't get together and agree on particular prices and generally it's an effort to increase prices not bring down prices. but i think that here you can

make a very good argument "a," when the price is capped on the women, well is the price capped then on the clinics? and secondly another i think interesting response to this argument of well you know women desperate women are going to do this when they shouldn't. what about the difference between a woman makes $30,000 a year an a woman who makes $300,000 a year. that $5,000 is going to mean a lot less to someone who makes 300,000 so are we going to start evaluating how much money they make in assessing how much they're allowed to sell their eggs for? it's pretty strong moving forward? we'll look at it. dan, thanks very much. jen, you'll take questions on twitter all morning. >> yes. >> @drjashton. millions tuned in to "the bachelorette," the season finale. we found out if kaitlyn chose shawn or nick. what did happen after that final rose.

with kaitlyn's parents taking side side sides. shawn, the family's clear favorite. >> by the end of the visit he had completely won over the mom, the dad and even kaitlyn's sister straight up said i'm team shawn. >> reporter: but the final days with nick and shawn leaving kaitlyn even more torn. >> whether it be shawn or nick at this point somebody is going to get blindsided. >> i'm yours forever if you'll have me. >> reporter: nick trying one last time to win her over. offering a ring. >> i'm sorry. >> reporter: in the end nick exiting the show brokenhearted for the second time around. >> you took things from me. >> my only explanation i have is my heart is just with somebody else. >> reporter: tossing away the symbol of his love. despite the drama it took to get to their happy ending kaitlyn and shawn ready to live normal lives. >> we can't wait to go to starbucks like -- >> reporter: the anticipate couple is here live right now.

i would have done overhand. he would go underhand. >> can you share with us shawn and kaitlyn, your plans? what are you thinking. >> yeah right now we're just so excited to finally be able to hang out and doing this isn public but more importantly we want to spend time with our friends and family first and do that for the next mont go to my hometown go to her hometown and kind of relax and then start figuring out the long-term plans. >> you have different homeup tos. have you thought about where you might -- >> that's why we want to check out both. i never have been to vancouver. i've never been to nashville. >> two wonderful towns. >> either one i'm not going to be upset with. >> any thought to when the wedding might be. are you going to take your time? >> we're excited to be engaged and like be cute and -- >> exactly. >> i can't imagine what it must be like to not only to meet on a show but to have this secret and have to be hiding in plain sight, so to speak.
