the fear on campus and the investigation right now. freezing cold and record lows blanket the east. a huge dust storm and wildfires plow through plains. the storm-chasing couple who saved this man as he ran from the flames. >> get in, hurry up, hurry up. >> we take you inside the incredible escape. and the uconn women seal the deal overnight breaking record, the incredible fourth championship in a row. the secret to how they made history. ♪ and good morning, america. we had a big night in politics and a big night in women's basketball. there they are, the uconn huskies celebrating a record-breaking win over syracuse. >> yes, that victory, their fourth championship title in a row and that is something that hasn't happened in college basketball in more than 40 years. we are going to have much more on that big celebration. >> so the big stars of that people, one, two, three,

[ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: at his victory party, cruz told me momentum is not on trump's side. >> well, i think the people of wisconsin has sent a message and it's a message that americans are sending all over the count. this is now four states in a row where we've won resouping victories. >> reporter: but trump still holds a commanding legal in delegates and overnight his campaign releasing this statement, ted cruz is worse than a puppet. he is a trojan horse being used by the party bosses atempting to steal the nomination from mr. trum

allies, roger stone, known for unconventional campaign tactics threatening to hunt down delegates who go rogue on trump. >> we will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal. we urge you to visit their hotel and find them. you have a right to discuss this if you voted in the pennsylvania primary, for example. >> reporter: trump is saying the candidate with the most votes deserves the nomination. >> where i won louisiana and then i find out that i'm not supposed to get as many delegates as a person that beat. what kind of stuff is that? and somebody said, well, there's a rule and another rule -- i don't care about rule, folks. i go out, i campaign. we win. >> reporter: now, both trump and cruz have made it very clear they are not happy that john kasich is still in this race. the ohio governor who tally has less delegates than rubio who dropped out held no campaign events yesterday, made no

strategist said this race is now wide open. george. >> he says he'll go on hoping for that contested convention and move on to the democrats and bernie sanders on a roll. wisconsin his sixth victory in the last seven contests giving him a burst of momentum ahead of his showdown with hillary clinton in her home state of new york in two weeks. abc's cecilia vega is here and, cecilia, hillary has that big lead in delegates but this fight is still fierce. >> reporter: it is. this is the result hillary clinton had expected and the one that bernie sanders had hoped for. clinton tweeted her congratulations to her rival overnight, also telling her supporters, forward and that is a look ahead to the next big showdown right here in new york. ♪ bernie sanders overnight celebrating his big badger state win, a decisive victory that puts momentum on his side. >> this campaign is giving energy and enthusiasm to millions of americans.

lost six of the last seven contests, no victory party for her overnight. she was hundreds of miles away in new york. >> well, i'm also with you. >> all: i'm with her. i'm with her. >> reporter: with the delegate map still in her favor she has her sights on a different opponent. donald trump. >> reporter: the fellow from new york, i wish he'd get out of one of his towers and walk the streets and spend time with the people of this city. because peddling, peddling prejudice and paranoia is not the new york way. >> bill clinton also in an empire state of mind, feeling the pressure about what's to come. >> the whole shape of this country from here on -- this campaign from here on out is going to be directed by the new york results. >> reporter: but hillary clinton says she remains undeterred even joking with the women of "the view" about the battle ahead. m

going to be in public life you have to have a thick skin so i have developed a thick skin and anybodies who a interested, i have great creams for it. >> some humor there and clinton's team still confident she can win the nomination but the next two weeks will be critical for bernie sanders. he needs employeeout victories in the big delegate rich stays which is why we'll see them both campaigning in pennsylvania today on the calendar. >> let's bring in abc's jon karl with a look at the all-important delegate map. now, the ted cruz and bernie sanders have both won big in wisconsin and all this talk of a contested convention what is actually going on on the republican side? >> this was a big blow for donald trump last night and just got a lot harder for him to clinch the nomination before the convention. look where the numbers are right now. he has a big deal among delegates but a long way from the 1,237 that he needs to win to get there now, he needs to get 60

delegates, extremely difficult. cruz, it's virtually impossible, he needs 87%, kasich, it is impossible to get a majority before the convention so what does it add up to? it's virtually certain we're headed to a contested convention. >> speaking of considerable lead, clinton has has one in terms of delegates but bernie sanders still has that momentum. >> reporter: what a victory last night in wisconsin but if you look at the overall delegate map, hillary clinton has a huge lead, almost 700 delegates more than bernie sanders but why? mostly because of those so-called superdelegates, democratic officials who can vote however they want regardless of how their states went. if you look at the states bernie sanders has won 15 states, almost as many as hillary clinton. now, she's still got many more votes and can only win 35% of delegates going forward and still clinch the nomination. >> nothing boring about this election. all

and let's send it over to george. >> let's pick up with matt dowd, our little analyst. when i sat down with hillary clinton yesterday she said she didn't have to wing new york. that's not exactly true. >> no, i think she has to win new york, not because of the math of the situation, but because it con dates the party and goes into a general election. she doesn't want to be in a situation where she's lost multiple states and loses her home state. makes it difficult headed to the general. >> big win for ted cruz. what you saw there, you were remarking donald trump's support didn't go down. it's just ted cruz consolidated all of the anti-strum or almost all of it, which means a delegate-by-delegate, district-by-district fight going forward. >> likely to go to a contested convention. for donald, he'll have to decide if it's his waterloo or alamo and he'll have to make that difference and to quote "invictus." he was the pastor of his

and master of his control. >> jon, you're back here right now. if he doesn't get to that big number of 1,237 we have this open convention. let's walk through what it means. first day a vote over who is even eligible to get the nomination >> that's right. this is unchartered territory in our lifetimes. last time we had a multiballot open contested convention was 1948 so have that argument over rules and first ballot which essentially follows how the states voted you, but virtually all those become free to how to vote and you have an entirely new election with simply those 2,500 delegates. >> they have all the power at that point, matthew dowd. a lot think if he doesn't win on the first ballot he can't get there. if ted cruz doesn't win on the second ballot they'll look for somebody else. >> their highest number for him is trump and ted cruz for

second. trump said he doesn't care about the rules but the rules matter and he'll have a problem if he doesn't figure that out before the convention. >> thank you. now to those freeze warnings in the east, record lows being set this morning.

welcome back to "gma." you're looking at those wildfires in oklahoma tearing through the plains this morning. evacuations are under way right now and we are tracking the new warnings. also right now, ted cruz and bernie sanders scoring big wins in wisconsin and what could be major setbacks for front-runners donald trump and hillary clinton. clinton now turning her eyes to the race here in new york, and uconn's women's basketball team champions once again. celebrating a huge victory. this is their fourth national title in a row. the secret behind their success coming up. >> unbelievable. and that's not the only supports headline. take a look at these two at the yankees game. you see them right there, right? dressed as teenage mutant ninja turtles and there's apparently

reason. >> donatello and donatello and rafael all there. a secret reason why they're wearing those costumes. who is behind that coming up. i didn't used to dress like a ninja turtle when i was a kid. >> i was going to ask you to do it again. too much information. new developments in the owen labrie case convicted of sexual assault is appealing that conviction from jail and brought in a new lawyer to lead the fight and gio benitez is here with the latest. >> reporter: that new attorney filing the appeal just about 12 hours ago and surprisie iningly takes position with his high-powered attorney saying not enough was done at trial. this morning former star student owen labrie officially appealing his convictions requesting a new trial in the 2015 prep school rape case. >> i was raped. >> reporter: in a 29-page document obtained by abc news labrie's new attorney claims the now 20-year-old's original defense team including jay carney, best known

representing mob boss whiteny bulger failed to challenge his felony charge of luring a minor for the purposes of sex by computer. at trial, also claiming that they failed to obtain information from his accuser's facebook account which would have been used to challenge the credibility of the allegations made against the one time harvard bound student and the motion argues labrie's lawyers failed to ensure the jury received proper instructions claiming that if they had, they would have had to find him not guilty of the felony computer charge. >> guilty. >> attorneys make mistakes and when they rise to the level of creating a constitutionally deficient performance at the trial, then the remedy is ineffective assistance of counsel and a new trial. >> reporter: this as we're learning more about his life behind bars. assigned to solitary confinement for his own safety. only able to leave his cell for

this after his bail was revoked last month, a judge finding he violated his curfew. his attorney telling abc news that he's now passing time reading and writing. his parents and close friends visiting regularly. >> he had to withdraw from his college courses when the judge revoked his bail. took a little bit of time for him to get books but now he's reading but that's mostly what he do, sits in his cell and read books. >> a rep for the accuser said they have not seen a copy of the filing but told us they were aware that labrie had filed a motion seeking a new trial. his original attorney jay carney has not responded to our requests for comments. >> let's talk to dan abrams about this. this is kind of a legal hail mary. >> that's right. ineffective assistance of cou counsel is an incredible high standard. you generally have to have a lawyer that was drunk or on drugs or not showing up to court to win. i mean it's really, really tough to win on that.

i wish my lawyer had made other strategic choices. and that's what this motion feels like. this motion feels like they're saying, well, he should have challenged this and he could have challenged these witnesses and this law should have been challenged more, et cetera. >> does it just get dismissed. >> they will reject this particular argument, but, look, he does have one issue which is the only felony that he was convicted of which is the this using a computer to lure a child for sex, they can challenge that on appeal. will they win? probably not. but they can make an argument that that law should not have applied in this particular case and that's their strongest argument. >> because he broke probation he's in jail. >> the idea before he was be out pending appeal, right? he gets to wait when the appeals are concluded, he then goes to jail assuming he loses the appeals. now these appeals could take more than a year meaning more than his sentence so he could be sitting there throughout the duration of his appeals.

"scandal" star kerry washington admitting she is no different but this morning calling out "adweek" for taking it a step further in what they are fans are calling a photoshop fail. in this instagram post, it felt strange to look at a picture of myself that is so different than what i look like when i look in the mirror. it's an unfortunate feeling. this is how we're used to seeing her on "scandal" as olivia pope and kruring it on the red carpet. compare that to this cover, social media quickly speculating that "adweek" mad

herself and more like a certain blond bombshell. it is like if scarlett johansson and kerry washington had a kid what it would look like. james cooper tweeting that the editors added volume to the hair for dramatic. no disrespect. adding kerry washington is a class act. we are honored to have her grace our pages. to clarify, we made minimal adjustments solely for the cover's design needs. this just the latest in a series of photoshop cover issues for the star. first it was "lucky" and then this "instyle" cover which sparked a firestorm debate. accusations they lightened her skin and may have changed her nose and lips while washington instagramed, i have to be honest, i was taken aback by a cover. she also added that she hopes her fans will pick it up because these happy with what is inside the magazine saying "i'm proud of the article." and it is what's insid

really counts. washington goes on to say she really does like some of the pictures inside. the magazine she was just surprised a little by the cover. >> she did look more like scarlett johansson. crazy. >> her fans were crazy on twitter about it. i mean, they did not let loose. >> all right, eva, thank you so much. coming up next, millions tuning in for the "the people v. o.j. simpson" finale. that, spaing new project, the fallout from the big project next. a look at the hottest new apps 60 million teens are using called musical.ly and driving some parents crazy. just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and i was worried about joint damage. my doctor said joint pain from ra can be a sign of existing joint damage that could only get worse. he prescribed enbrel to help relieve pain and help stop further damage. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal,

coming up all-star director jon favreau is with us. he is taking over "gma" as we speak. oh, wow. from directing to camera operating and he's opening up about his next film, "the jungle book." time magazine called chris van hollen "a hero to environmentalists, education groups, and gun control advocates" for his accomplishments as a young legislator. now a respected leader in congress and key ally of president obama, protecting planned parenthood and social security... chris van hollen is the only candidate who fought the wall street banks and the nra...and won. that's why he's endorsed by the post as the "talented successor" to senator mikulski who will "deliver results." i'm chris van hollen, and i approve this message.

we're back with our new director jon favreau here. you know him from "swingers" "elf" and "iron man" out with a brand-new take on the disney classic "the jungle book." take a look. >> you want to do this you do it in the man village. >> i'm helping baloo get ready. >> what are you teaching him. >> not full hibernation but i nap a lot. >> jon favreau joins us now. cannot wait to see this movie after seeing the trailer but it's going to be a bit of a challenge taking a classic like this. >> yeah, sure, i grew up with the film and came out in '67, the last animated film that walt disney worked on. but now we have all this photo real cgi and learned a lot working on the "iron man" films and speaking of disney maybe it was time to update it and see if you could bring a combination of the

hundred years ago with the movie to life and it's pretty spectacular what the artists are able to achieve. >> what does it mean to bring it to life in modern terms? we have one live action kid and everything else around it is created by artists and computers. so all the animals are either motion captured or hand animated. the backgrounds are generated so the sets weren't much different than what we have right here. >> it looks so real when it's happening. so many big stars in it, as well including idris elba and ben kingsley and heard bill murray. >> yeah. >> you got to tell the story about getting bill murray to do a job. famously unavailable. >> have you ever had him here? >> no. >> he's not easy -- not like you call an agent or publicist. he runs his own business. you get ahold of him. he reaches out to you and moves around quite a bit and i sent him letters and artwok. i've been wanting to work with the guy. an idol of mine since i was little and i remember in "meatballs" how cool the

relationship with the kid and i thought i would be perfect and finally got aphone call from him. >> out of the blue. >> after i sent letters and sent messages and said let's do it. ever sijsz then he's the hardest working guy and loves to get it just right and i've gotten to know him and work with him and it was a real highlight of my career. >> i bet it was and you found a way to bring the movie to a real broad audience. >> the original was like a g-rated musical that was more for kids and this we have made a pg movie. more of an adventure. exciting. the animals are real so there's scary moments but there's humor and hopefully covers all the ground in the disney tradition? all right. we have one of your super fans will join us via skype. courtney had done. the jimmy fund headquarters in massachusetts and a few colleagues. >> hi. good morning. >> good morning. what do you want to know? >> thank so ch

on. super big fans and so excited to the jung sung-ryong. we have a question for you about your background. we were wondering what is the role or the opportunity that got away? >> well, as an actor, unfortunately those people out there who know you auditioned for hundreds of things so a lot of them got away. but for directing what happens is sometimes you develop projects and they don't get made. sometimes they get made later. there was one called "magic kingdom" i was developing with disney about disneyland coming to life and putting together artwork and scripts and that one didn't get made. but by meeting everybody over at disney "the jungle book" opportunity came up so sometimes what you think is a missed opportunity turns into a different opportunity and also you never know. maybe those s cop up again but that was a project i really wanted to do that i haven't had the opportunity to do but maybe in the future. >> could come back. thank you, courtney. you're making this one. you do -- you act in this, as well.

remember there was a lot of little animated characters like the narwal. if you see it every year, bye, buddy. hope you find your dad. that's me. [ applause ] that's me. thank you. so in this one i'm a pygmy hog and his wife is like this -- what's going on up there? >> so you see i only have one voice i do. i have one voice but you make the characters look different so i'm a little pig that gets crushed by honey. >> hitchcock move. >> except with my voice so i don't have to go through hair and makeup like this every day. and not tuck my shirt in when i'm realizing. >> we can't wait to see it. thanks for coming in.

not the easiest with that piece of machinery but it's fun and that's part of the fun, i think. >> the show is really fun. you have to be very focused watching it because there's lot of twists and turns and do a great job. we'll talk flea markets later. but meanwhile, "rogue" airing wednesdays on at&t audience network. we'll be right back on "good morning am
