robin. good morning to you. all eyes on las vegas. right now the democrats have descended on sin city. this city, this las vegas strip has never seen a show quite like this. overnight, hillary clinton emerging from the secrecy of her debate prep and making her first top in las vegas right here in the shadow of donald trump's hotel. >> you know, some people think mr. trump is entertaining but i don't think it's entertaining when somebody insults immigrants, insults women. that is just unacceptable behavior. >> reporter: vermont senator bernie sanders showing up too, at least in name anyway. painted on a clean energy car that did a drive-by right after clinton left. in just a matter of hours they will come face-to-face for real. five candidates in all, clinton's front-runner status earning her the coveted center stage and doing mock debates

since her first run for president in 2008. >> thanks. >> vice president, everyone wants to know -- >> get out of my way, will you? >> reporter: the one creating the most predebate buzz won't be anywhere near the show. while they're setting aside fa podium for joe biden, as of now his official schedule has him at the white house all day. the vp expected to decide by the end of this week whether or not to run. while aides say biden will likely watch, one viewer is guaranteed. >> i'll be watching. i don't know how long. it's going to be hard to watch. i think it's not going to be a very exciting debate. >> reporter: republican donald trump not offering big predictions for tonight's main event. why? >> because trump isn't in the debate. i'm only kidding. i think it's not going to be highly rated. i think you'll watch it for ten

or 15 minutes and people will get bored and turn it off. >> reporter: well, trump says he'll help make it more entertaining by live tweeting throughout the debate but take a look at this. what hillary clinton tweeted overnight this photo of her from high school. that's there in the back row. she says it was during the high school debate team saying that she has been debating important issues since high school, george. i can imagine there's probably not a more important debate than the one happening a few hours from now. >> no question about it. let's talk about it with jon karl. hillary clinton is an experienced debater on the national level as well. she will be the real target. we know of the moderators. which of the other candidates will take her on. >> this will not be the all out slugfest with the republicans we saw. hillary clinton is clearly the person to beat, the biggest target. i think the person to watch will be standing right next to her, martin o'malley, nowhere in the polls. he needs to break through and he has been the toughest on her on the stump criticizing her on trade, criticizing her on gay

rights, criticizing her on wall street reform. he will most likely be the one -- >> candidates who also have to take time out introducing themselves. bernie sanders, his first national debate comes in with a lot of momentum. >> i think that he's the one that has the most at stake. he has exceeded everybody's expectations, clearly including his own. he now is emerged as the alternative to hillary clinton but, george, he's only really broken through in iowa and new hampshire. he needs to prove he can be a national candidate and have appeal beyond the core left of the party. >> jim webb and lincoln chafee up on the stage. not clear they're running real campaigns. >> lincoln chafee, 0.4% in the polls. they need to show everybody i'm here, i'm running. this is their moment in the sun. >> okay, jon karl, thanks very much. more on this from jennifer granholm who advises the pro-clinton super pac. thanks for joining us.

>> you bet. >> you are a supporter of hillary clinton. how worried are you for her tonight? what's at stake? >> there's a lot at stake but what i'm so excited about tonight is that really for many people this will be the first time people actually hear her agenda, her policies and we all know she's really known as a policy wonk. very substantive so the biggest issue she's been obsessing about that americans have been obsessing about is the economy. how are we going to create jobs in america in a global economy and i think you're going to hear the policies that she has heretofore been unable to break through on because of e-mail. >> the new ad, second ad -- i think we have a little bit to show right here. >> we had a pretty good idea what all those families, all you americans in trouble were going through.

in part, it's because our own family -- >> you actually debated with him and played sarah palin back in 2008. >> helped to prepare him, yeah. >> do you think he'll get in the race. what difference would it make? >> you know, it's so -- who knows whether he is or not. it's just such a deeply personal decision and running for president is such a soul suck and his soul has been so bruised and damaged and really sucked out by what he's going through so who knows whether he will or not. you know, competition is good. i think hillary clinton would welcome anybody to come into the race but who knows. >> correct the record, taking some shots at bernie sanders. do you think hillary will tonight? >> no, i think that hillary clinton is going to be very respectful of the people who are on the stage. i think this debate as jon karl was saying, i think this is going to be a debate where people can really see what the

positives are of the democratic candidates. she'll be taking shots at republicans and, of course, she will respond if she is attacked with facts but respectfully. that's what i think is going to happen. >> all of us and donald trump will be watching. jennifer granholm and jon karl, thanks very much. to robin. >> thanks so much. >> thank you, george. now to the breaking news on the plane that broke up over ukraine last year killing all 298 on board. a final report on what brought down malaysian airlines flight 17 is out this morning and abc's lama hasan has the details, joins us this morning from london. good morning, la shg, lama. >> right now those families are finding out what really happened to the flight and how the plane blew up midair. the briefing room falling silent as the dutch safety board revealing the plane was shot down by a russian made surface-to-air missile. the cockpit was hit first and broke off from the rest of the plane. the families finding out that in those final moments as the plane was hit, it was unlikely anyone

pending appeal of his two-game suspension but he was never called on to enter last night's game. >> that is a joke. >> no. >> do not do that. >> reporter: adding to the tension at the stadium a delay before the first pitch for what many assumed was to warn the mets about retaliating on the field. turns out, a phone wasn't working in the dodgers dug out. when the game got under way the mets retaliated with their play. >> and that ball is absolutely scorched to left. >> reporter: pounding the dodgers, 13-7 and putting them one game away from winning the division series. well, things maybe didn't get too nasty on the field but got nasty on twitter between the two mayors of l.a. and new york. guy, check this out. look at what mayor bill de blasio sent to the mayor of l.a. saying "this is what happens when the dodgers don't play dirty." now, i know you all have been talking about this democratic coming up tonight but two

similar to this. in-flight that credit card machine started smoking sparking even catching fire before the crew ex-tension wished it. the model of reader new to the alaska fleet, the device powered by a lithium ion battery which alaska says seemed to be melting. lithium eye won batteries which power everything from our phones to computers can be a problem on a jetliner. they can overheat. start a chain reaction. this is an faa test of batteries that burst into an almost uncontrollable fire which is why the government wants to ban the shipment of large quantities of lithium ion batteries on airliners. it was a large lithium ion pack on the dreamliner which led to two major smoky fires and ground the fleet for an entire time. in buffalo passenger has to wait for a new aircraft to finish their flight from the east coast to seattle as the airline and investigators take a look at those card readers. that was a brand-new card reader for alaska airlines and pulled

looking at the past and realizing how the dots all connected. >> reporter: during her 30-year career donna karan launched two successive clothing lines, donna karan and dkny building a fashion empire and redefining the way women wore clothes and in one memorable television ad letting women in on the secret to her success. >> never confuse fad with fashion. never forget it's your name on every label and when showing your line to the press, never let them see you sweat. >> you know, when you are starting up a company and somebody said to you, you know, donna, we need some money and i go, yeah, so, well, how about dry idea? never let them see you sweat. >> i don't think many of us will forget that. how does that make you feel knowing that you were given credit to actually changing the way women dress? >> i'm very flattered. but for me it was a natural. i loved, loved, loved designing.

it's part of my being. you know, i love designing with other women. i love designing men's clothes a lot. a real lot. far more than i thought i would and i picked up a hot group of guys that i like to dress. >> yes, president clinton. >> well, couldn't get hotter than that. okay, let's start at the top. >> for karan starting at the top means dressing a man who would occupy the oval office being asked to design both of his inauguration suits. what was that call like? >> i don't think i've ever recovered from the phone call because we did have an argument, a little bit of an argument. a discussion. i said, what size suit are you and he said a 54 long. i said that's impossible. you're a 54 extra long. you know president clinton was right. he wore a long not an extra long and i could not believe it. >> while she has dressed some of

the most powerful men in the world it's her late husband, steven weiss, a talented artist who was her greatest inspiration. the love of your life, steven -- >> sitting here i feel his energy. >> you do, don't you? >> oh, yeah. >> his passing stays with you. >> forever. and ever. ah. yeah. this is steven's studio, you know, steven built this. i had nothing to do with it. there was this line between us that i was allowed to be the decorator. he was the architect. and never the trains shall meet and i think that's what made steven and i so great. this piece says it all. he left the canvas outside and he said, talk to me so he -- >> we're still in new york, right? >> like we're not in new york? >> reporter: and it's her husband's legacy that continues to sustain and drive karan's passion to help others.

>> i've always said why don't we just have a philanthropic store where we can give all our money back and that's really how urban zen started. >> reporter: it connects her mission to help redefine health care, preserve cultures and empower women and children. where do you want to see it go, donna? >> my dream is that urban zens are all over the country. they're all over the world. that it's not about me. this is about a call out to action. >> call out to action. donna karan is an exceptional, beautiful soul. urban zen is so incredibly important to her and the love that she has for her husband. i'm telling you. her book "my journey" is available now. >> let's go ahead and get into weather and say good morning to all the folks behind us. hello, good morning. how about we talk about the cold fronts. you all ready for cold air this weekend. if you're sticking around in new

we are back now with the first installment of our new series "baby oh baby." all about modern pregnancy, a thing i know a little about. any mom, though, knows that maternity clothing can be super expensive, especially when you want to look fresh every day. look at this. a little secret here. i've been renting these dresses and you can too. from kerry washington's beautiful bump to the ever elegant pregnant kate, we love to see what the stars are wearing when they start to pop. but for those of us with baby on board and a budget, buying a whole new wardrobe for just a few months can sure make it tough to feel red carpet ready. this is all i have for maternity. none of this fit, none of that fits. this fits. i got a whole closet over here that doesn't fit and i've got another couple months left. jersey is the pregnant woman's best friend. >> it's comfortable, loose. >> here it is. >> enter companies like mine for

nine that rent clothing for up to 75% off the retail price. not bad when women can spend up to 2 grand on their maternity wardrobe. >> our average ticket runs between $90 and $100 and in those order they'll usually get four to five items. >> who is this specifically for. >> for anyone that's pregnant. even if you're a stay-at-home mom and want to put something on that makes you feel good on date night. they can rent something for a month. >> instead of buying this navy maxi dress for $175, i could rent it for 60 bucks for two weeks. thanks to maternity rental now i don't have to lose sleep with what to wear with this ever growing belly. i swear it grows every day. we are now joined by mindy walker, executive editor from "american baby" magazine. welcome to "gma" again. we love to see you. >> thank you, thank you. >> this dress just for an example, 40 bucks and get to keep it for a month. >> from mine for nine, wear it

as much as you want for $40. >> i have a baby shower coming up. a lot of reasons you could have multiple times to wear it. >> exactly. >> i know it's an ever-changing body and nine months is a long time and you grow out of things. >> exactly so women are -- we're finding women can spend up to $2,000 on maternity clothes because your body is changing but yet you don't want to wear your cousin's hand-me-downs the whole time. you looked stylish before you want to look stylish while pregnant. subscription services make this possible. >> i don't want to keep it all after. even if you get pregnant again you don't know if the season is going to be the same. a lot of factors that can affect that. let's bring out our models and start with ingrid. >> okay, great. >> ingrid, come on out. >> ingrid -- >> whoo! ingrit is wearing this great outfit from la tote, a black and white top that cops with a denim jacket and hobo bag. la tote comes to your house, you choose what you want. if you want office looks shall

casual looks and then you wear it as much as you want for that month. >> how much have we saved here? >> so this outfit would retail for $245. but she's getting it for $59. that's a savings of $186. it's huge. >> it is huge. it is and especially because so many of us, there's so many -- you could wear this over and over. you could pull it off for days. all right, one more look, we've got shelly. >> shelly coming out. so she got her fabulous dress from belly bump boutique. >> and you're due any day. >> not easy to pull off a great look when you're due any day but shelly does it. this outif it is great for let's say you have a wedding or a shower you want to go to. you can go online. book it in advance and go on, say, okay, reserve it for that week and get this dress. >> bring it. give me the savings. >> $118 retail. she gets it for $35. >> yes. >> so she's saving $83. >> thank you so much. thank you, shelly.
