we don't know whether there's any connection to paris. what we do know is this hotel is very popular with westerners. at 7:00 a.m. local time a team of attackers armed with guns and grenades reportedly used a vehicle to smash through security barriers at the radisson blu and sho guards, stormed the hotel, 140 guests and 30 employees believed to be hostages. witnesses describe automatic weapons fire heard in and around the property. a spokesperson for the u.n. confirmed that this week a big delegation for the peace process was at the hotel. a chinese news agency also confirmed several chinese nationals are guests. airport crews also frequent the hotel. malian soldiers and u.n. troops have surrounded the place. security in mali has become an increasing concern. this past august, 12 people

including 5 malawian soldiers killed effigy haddists stormed a hotel in sevare and parts of the country were occupied by islamist fighters linked to al qaeda. france has 1,000 peacekeeping troops even though they recently took over security operations. again, special forces now surround that hotel. possibly going in, trying to end this siege. robin and george. >> very fluid situation, martha, thanks. >> we have on the phone right now olivia salgado from the u.n. we know they took 170 hostage and 20 released including three u.n. personnel? >> yeah, that's correct. three u.n. personnel were extracted this morning. >> so, what we we know about why the hostages were released?

there were unconfirmed reports that the gunmen were actually going and asking people to recite pieces of the koran? >> that's an information i don't have right now. what i know is that three people from the hotel with ak-47 around 7:00 a.m. this morning and, of course, immediately the security forces from mali were deployed around the years and two years that the u.n. is supporting mali as you know and, of course, we sent immediately on the site quick reaction force plus ambulances and many other means in case of emergency. this is where we are, but that's an ongoing situation as we speak. >> so you have the u.n. peacekeeping forces joining the mali military? >> yes, we are coordinating our efforts as we do, it's been two

years that we are doing that and, of course, this morning we are -- have been on the ground. >> we just got some images showing the military appearing to go into the hotel. do you have anything more on that, whether those forces have, indeed, gone into the hotel to go after the gunmen? >> yes, that -- but it's happening as we speak, so i don't have many more details. what i know is that around 20 and more were freed, so and maybe the situation is currently over. i need to check that and it's an evolving situation. >> so, to be clear, we started out with 140 guests in the hotel, 30 employees of the hotel. that's 170 hostages in total but you believe 20 were released including 3 u.n. personnel and that some sort of military operation is going on right now? >> that's correct and you have to bear in mind that it's a very

popular hotel in bamako and many westerners are going over there. >> mr. salgado, thanks for your time. we want to go to a freelance journalist outside bamako. what are you seeing katarina right now? >> reporter: they have been closed off by army and police. several vehicles and armed soldiers are on the ground. about an hour ago we heard hostages have been released. around 10 or 15 managed to leave the hotel's we heard 50 or 80 and among were foreign guests. hotel popular with westerners and also with many agencies working here, among the u.n. peacekeeping mission who have stayed at the hotel regularly?

katarina, could you see the military go into the hotel? >> reporter: we are too far -- we have not actually been able to see any military going inside. they are -- there have been several cars driving back and forth on the street leading up to the hotel obviously a couple of ambulances leaving the hotel and the people, we know they're at least three people killed and a couple injured among them, a security guard that was at the hotel when it was attacked this morning. >> katarina, thank you very much. please stay safe. >> we'll bring in, george, abc news chief investigative correspondent brian ross and there are groups in this country tied to isis. >> absolutely. one declared allegiance to isis this may and another ties to al qaeda. no claims of responsibility but, of course, either group has a common enemy in western europe and in france. >> brian will come back in just a minute.

the hotel siege is the fourth major terror attack in just the past three weeks and started with that russian jet bombing on halloween followed by twin suicide bombings in beirut and the paris attack, of course, last week. one week ago today. abc's matt gutman is on the scene of that raid outside paris for us. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. we're learning just now a third body was found inside that building. now, police are still going through it. you can see that white forensics tent down the street and police said they put so much firepower into the building the only way to identify the suspected assailants inside is from dna. this morning, investigators scrambling to identify that unknown body. apparently killed in wednesday's massive siege here. gunfire blasting for hours and debris spewing out of that apartment building. as europe's first female suicide bomber detonated her device. overnight, abc news obtaining this exclusive video of

27-year-old hasna aitboulahcen's mother and brother being loaded into a police cruiser. the target of the raids, the alleged mastermind of the paris attacks, abdelhamid abaaoud. cordoning off the suburb over 800 anti-terror forces firing 5,000 bullets. abaaoud killed in that shoot-out but not before planning the paris attacks including the shooting of this restaurant. remnants of that nightmare frozen in time. glasses still filled with drinks leftover pizza on plates. table answer chairs turned upside down. this video shows this man, ralph, dashed through the door and hurled himself on the floor. at first he thought he was caught in a gang war. >> you basically bumped the door and dove. was he till firing at you? >> yes, he was firing at me. >> did you hear the bullets coming past? >> i heard the bullets and i hear the -- i saw -- i just saw

that's -- other things. >> reporter: his friend was injured seen holding her arm and protected by that bartender. the shooter seen in that video believed to be salah abdeslam, the attacker that authorities across europe are still searching for this morning. now, salah abdeslam, a french national, is still the only attacker from friday night who has not been accounted for and police certainly hope that his is the body still in that building. robin. >> all right, thank you. >> we have brian ross here again and learning more about this female suicide many boer, the first in europe. >> a terror threat unlike any europe or the u.s. has seen before. it's the ultimate stealth weapon for isis. her friends say 26-year-old hasna aitboulahcen led a life of drug, alcohol and sex. until she found religion and then isis. this week she was caught up in the police raid that would kill

the mastermind of the paris attacks, her cousin. >> where is your boyfriend? >> he's not my boyfriend. >> where is he? >> he's not my boyfriend. >> reporter: and then the blast. as she detonated what authorities say was a suicide vest. >> the fact that isis now has the first woman suicide bomber in europe's history tells us that isis is willing to break any norm of war, any threshold of war in order to kill. >> reporter: the isis bomber comes from a town outside of paris where her mother and a brotother were taken into custo by police thursday. before becoming devout she was known for wearing a big straw cowboy hat with lots of men and drugs in her life a common pattern according to experts. >> they live this very lie sen shouse lifestyle and when they become a jihadi they completely reinvent themselves. >> reporter: they first emerged 30 years ago in lebanon and have

since been used by a number of terror groups including the russians for a series of deadly attacks. >> i wouldn't be surprised to see more female suicide bombers from isis, a female suicide bomber is like a health precision weapon. >> and this is a major change in strategy. how does isis justify it? they didn't allow it before? >> in the last few weeks they posted on internal chat rooms a justification for women. they're still not allowed to go to battle or be martyrs but if your family is threatened you may use a suicide vest. >> is there a tactical reason for using them. >> they often don't fit the profile and are often told to wear skimpy clothing and have brassiere bombs and prosthesis to look pregnant where they pack bombs in them. isis releasing its third video since the attacks, this one threatening to turn the

white house blank with fire and the fbi director and attorney general holding a rare briefing on it. pierre was there. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, robin. attorney general lynch called this a challenging moment. the fbi director said there are more than 900 terror investigations under way with a small group that's getting an intense amount of attention. the fbi's identified dozens of suspected islamic radicals believed to be at high risk of trying to conduct copycat attacks like those in france. those suspects have been radicalized through an ongoing isis social media campaign which reaches 0 out to them every day. fbi director james comey described the threat this way. >> the threat here focuses primarily on troubled souls in america who are being inspired or enabled online to do something violent for isil. together we are watching people of concern. we will keep watching them, and if we see something we'll work to disrupt it. >> reporter: robin and george

there's a specific number of people, several dozen getting 24-our surveillance covered as the fbi director said like a blanket. >> well, pierre, those isis videos targeting new york and now washington, what are officials saying about these particular threats? >> reporter: robin, top law enforcement officials say they've continued to identify no credit kabul threats tied to those video and say they're engaging in a propaganda war to create fear in the wake of the paris attacks. the fbi director and a.g. are aware of the current threats and the holiday season and unusual meeting trying to help americans understand the nature of the threat and reassure the country at the same time. the director said he did not want americans to have disabling fears but turn their concerns into healthy awareness. >> we have to keep that in mind with the holidays. >> there's a big question about whether syrian refugees add to that threat and now the big defeat for president obama in order to keep the border open for syrian refugees. they want to pass a bill to

suspend the program until a. tougher screening process is put in place and there were enough to override the president's promised veto. good morning, jon. >> reporter: this was a major review for the president after days of making the case for his plan to bring in for syrian refugees, democrats and republicans in the house voted to put the program on hold. in the end, it wasn't even close. >> the yeas are 28 and nayr is 37. the bill is passed. >> reporter: it says no syrian or iraqi refugee can come into the united states until high-level u.s. officials certify that he or she is not a threat. 47 democrats joined republicans in voting yes. more than enough to override a presidential veto. >> this is urgent. we cannot and should not wait to act. not when our national security is at stake. >> reporter: secretary of state john kerry said there is no reason to fear syrian refugees.

>> it's inappropriate for america of all countries in the world to panic and to somehow turn our backs on our it will values. >> reporter: take a look at what voters say is their top issue for the 2016 campaign. more name isis than any other issue by far and terrorism is tied for second. stoking more fear, news that two syrian families including four young children showed up at a u.s. border crossing in texas seeking asylum. that prompted this from donald trump via instagram. >> they're going to be pouring in. we don't know who they are. could be isis. >> reporter: fellow republican front-runner ben carson compared screening refugees to protecting children from rabid dogs. >> if there's a rabid dog running around your neighborhood, you probably are not going to assume something good about that dog. and you're probably going to put your children out of the way.

doesn't mean thaw hate all dogs by any stretch of the imagination. >> reporter: hillary clinton accused republicans of violating funnial american values. >> slamming the door on them is not who we are. >> reporter: donald trump has gone so far as to propose creating a national database of muslims in the united states. but, george and robin, the president has a lot of work here to convince the american people in a recent poll only 28% favored going forward with the refugee program as he has outlined it. >> and you've got 31 states now saying they won't welcome the refugees. this is going to be a tough fight. >> thank you very much. going to remain a hot debate. a major winter storm threatening to make a mess of early thanksgiving travel. that story for you in 30 seconds.

we're back at 7:18 with millions of americans on alert for the first winter storm of the season. just as so many of us begin to fly and hit the road for thanksgiving, ginger, you have more. >> hit the road and the road looks like this in st. cloud, minnesota. we're now watching this new one moving through nebraska, parts of south dakota right now. i think the heaviest winter storm warning from des moines to chicago, we time it out for you, tonight, it starts in central iowa, moves into chicago late tonight through the day tomorrow. it's all throughout michigan including detroit. so that's the timing. how much falls, a quick look at it for you. the heaviest away from that

from the, you know, i'm the greatest and the best, he -- the kids say -- the four older children whom we talked to, as well, he is a very devoted father, that even though he is away a lot he knows everything that's going on with them including the daughter tiffany who we haven't seen that. she is away at university. the daughter by marla maples. you can't get tm to say anything bad about him. i tried but they really are extremely devoted and it's not all campaign talk. maybe it is, maybe i was just taken in but i was. >> we heard from melania. we have not heard from her until now? she says she wants to stay home with their son and that's why she's not on the campaign trail. if a man said this i had a kill him but maybe because she is so beautiful we don't expect her to be as smart as she is. >> barbara, you -- >> i take it all back. >> okay, here is some of your

>> we discuss, i tell him my opinions. >> give me an example of a piece of advice that you've given your husband that he has taken? >> i will keep it private. >> well, she's told me -- i can tell you. these told me a couple of types during the debate she was happy with my performance if you want to call it a performance but she said you could tone it down a little bit on occasion. which i understand. >> when he's criticized, does it bother you? >> it's unpleasant but i know i can handle it. >> biggest criticism that's untrue that we can clear up is there any? >> i would say that he's nasty. he's not. and he has a big heart and very warm heart. you see what he is on the campaign trail all the time and on television, and i think, you know, america needs a strong leader and tough leader and know

what he's doing. >> barbara, including in your conversation global offense such as isis and donald trump talked to you about how he would defeat them. let's take a look at that now. >> if you had an opportunity to speak with the leader of isis, what would you say? >> these people are insane. these are insane people. >> so, you would not try -- >> normally i'm a big believer in talking. can you reason with most people. these are -- these are nuts. and it's got to be said and it's got to be stated and obama, i don't know what's with him. he doesn't talk about -- he doesn't talk about islamic terrorism or radical islamic terrorism. he won't even use the term. it's almost like he's defending them. >> if you were in the white house right now, what would you be saying? >> oh, i would be saying, let's go, folks and i would be getting other countries. i would say we're going to bomb the hell out of them. we are going to get them right

now. >> which we are bombing them and would love to hear more specifics but you did talk to the older children, as well. what did you learn about them? >> how devoted they are to him. i tried as i said to get them to say -- first of all, they're a very good-looking family as you can see but i tried to get them to say yeah but on the other hand but they are extremely, even the sons in particular fond of him. devoted to him so it's interesting to see what they're like when they're not just talking about isis or when do we get together. >> they do appear to be a very loving, close family. >> yes, they are and to see him in that role, to see him as a grandfather you not only will meet the children but the grandchildren. grandpa, grandpa. grandpa donald. >> perhaps we will learn a different side of him. barbara, always good to see you. >> oh, robin, happy to see you. >> have a pleasant and enjoyable weekend and you can see much more of barb's exclusive with

feature for the site which practically invented the relationship status. >> in the digital age what this is like is like getting rid of that box of stuff or hiding some of the photos. >> in "the social network" even the hollywood version of mark zuckerberg couldn't avoid his ex online. >> more than a billion people use it every day now and it's just -- it's kind of ingrained in like how we communicate. >> reporter: and as many prepare for the upcoming holiday season perhaps this tool can help x one person off their list. >> facebook is smart to roll it off because we're kicking off breakup season, the weeks before the holidays is when a number of breakups happen. >> i didn't even know there was a breakup season. >> you don't want to bring anyone home to meet your mom or dad. >> or you don't want to buy them a gift for the holidays. >> for now that ability to undo your tags, you have to do one-on-one on your phone only

radio conversations that her character's onscreen problem is also one she has in real life. >> i don't have children. i'm not going to have kids. you know, i went through early menopause. >> you did? >> yeah. >> oh, wow. >> my older sister called and she's like you should go and get yourself checked because i'm going through menopause early and i'm like, you're just scaring me and then i went -- yeah, they're like, you have one egg. it was bleak. >> on average it occurs around 51 years old but one in every 100 women between the ages of 30 and 39 are affected by what's known as premature menopause, the loss of ovarian function. >> not clear why it happens to certain women. a woman should be concerned if they become irregular particularly if they've had regular periods in the past a woman should go through her lifestyle and certain risk factors with her health provider to maximize her fertility capabilities. >> walsh who has spoken out about wanting to have children says her hopes of getting

pregnant are dashed but when it comes to life she says she has no regrets. >> i think it's a bit of a myth and that it's this huge pressure. we're like, wait a minute. am i less than if i'm not a mother. if i'm not like a rock star in my career? i've always felt as much as i've been sort of at times in my life indecisive i go for what i want and i embrace what's in front of me. >> reporter: for "good morning america," linsey davis, abc news, new york. >> all right. joining us now is dr. jennifer ashton and joins us live from our l.a. bureau. this is your area of expertise, jen. what do you make of kate's velation? >> first of all if that's what menopause looks like, sign me up and for a shoutout to all the millions ofomen who go through menopause and their story doesn't make national news, but, again, to clary, early menopause is menopause that occurs at the age of 40 or earlier, most women will go through menopause between 45 and 55 so that's the average range, it'll differ

woman to woman. >> you said early menopause isn't even really a medical term. you can -- it's premenopause. what are the causes of it? >> premature menopause so we don't totally understand but things like smoking, very, very bad for your ovaries as it is for the rest of your body, certain chemotherapy, certain types of chromosomal abnormalities associated with early or premature menopause and don't know how the environment affects it but certainly family history plays a role so something your mother, your sister goes through, it increases your chance it will happen around the same time. >> when you said chemotherapy, amy and i both nodded along that's what happened for both of us at an early age so we also heard in the radio interview with kate walsh that she was referring to the pill that she thought that was a contributing factor. could that be? is that true? >> absolutely not. so, there are so many myths about the birth control pill and we really need to change that. taking birth control pills for years is not associated with

premature menopause and there's no maximum amount of time that a woman can take the pill and we have to remember the silver lining with both early menopause or taking birth control pill, a dramatic reduction in the risk of breast, ovarian and uterine cancer so always have to look at both sides. >> absolutely. all right, jen, have a good time there in l.a. thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks. >> she will take your questions on twitter throughout the morning. tweet her @drjashton. >> outside with barbara corcoran. we've got three entrepreneurs getting ready for their first and barbara, you've been doing interesting stuff on "shark tank" recently and you put a big stake in a beauty and bath company. >> that was savvy naturals and the reason i decided to buy that particular stake in their business is i thought they would give me my money back. >> how do you decide how much? >> it's entirely dependent upon how confident i am in that

individual. if you meet these people you would just say, you know, i'm going to make a fortune and blind faith after that. >> up against the clock. the quickest pitch you've ever gotten. >> was to me i was a waitress at a diner and my soon-to-be boyfriend walked in and said to me, you'd be great at real estate sales and gave me $1,000 to start the corcoran group and that's where i made my fortune. at the diner. >> entrepreneurs right now, entering shark stadium, mike baxter inventor of the popcorn ball and rita floyd, flat box and ellery mulock of whisker dam. i didn't know there was a big threat of foamy beverages in your beer but i guess there is. you know the drill. you'll write down how long it's going to take you to pitch barbara the two lowest get their chance. let's see what you got. mike. >> i need six seconds to sell a shark. >> wow! >> rita. >> i need five seconds.
