this morning on "world news now," a roller coaster ride on the first day of the republican national convention. >> from delegates fighting on the floor to the grand entrance of the presumptive nominee, and then developing overnight, did melania trump's prime time speech plagiarize michelle obama's prime time speech. >> with all the no shows, the pressure falls on the trump family. we'll hear from ivanka has to say about people sitting this one out. we have analysis of the rnc. >> and in baton rouge, the community rocked by the deaths of three police officers. we're learning new details of the take down of the killer and the emotional moment when both families of the divide came

together for peace. >> a creature emerges from the waves terrifying sunbathers. what was it doing in the ocean? we'll unravel this mystery in the mix on this tuesday, july 19th. >> imagine the reaction. you see the shadow and think a shark. oh, no, it's just a boar. wait, it's running at me. >> you run for the trenches, i'd say, at that point. good morning. happy tuesday. how are you? >> i'm okay. i hope everybody else is doing all right. we're following all the developments at the rnc today and the latest that came out now is people examining this speech from melania trump. the reason being there are two paragraphs in it -- not the whole speech. starkingly similar to michelle obama's speech. >> you do michelle and i do melania. three, two, one.

for, what you want in life that your word is your bond and you do what you say and you keep your promise and that you treat people with respect. >> dignity and respect. >> doesn't sound familiar. >> an unconventionl opening night in cleveland, eve within that -- even with that aside. >> and he broke tradition by taking the stage on day one to introduce his wife. his remarks were brief, but in the most anticipated speech of the evening, melania tried to make the case for her husband and show his softer side. >> protesters popped up several times. but they were quickly shadowed down and escorted out. marcy gonzalez joins us live. >> reporter: good morning. there was a mix of speakers includ

stars, and they made no mention of another controversy that happened here on the floor earlier. instead they focussed on praising donald trump and ma bushing his presumptive nominee opponent. the night's theme, make america safe again. but as much as the message on the first night of the republican national convention was about national security and recent violence. >> i would like to make something very clear. blue lives matter in america. >> reporter: the focus also stayed sharply on hillary clinton. >> a woman who feels she's entitled to the presidency. >> reporter: and the 2012 attack in benghazi. clinton speaking in cincinnati. >> i a

>> reporter: while in cleveland donald trump took to the convention stage. >> my wife, an amazing mother, an incredible woman, melania trump. >> reporter: introducing the night's headliner, his wife, melania. >> he's tough when he has to be, but he's also kind and fair and caring. >> reporter: attempting to show a softer side of the presumptive gop nominee and unify the party after drama earlier on the floor. antitrump delegates trying and failing to take steps to block trump's nomination. >> if they want unity, treat us respectfully. >> reporter: the never trump movement could protest today, but delegates vote to officially name trump as the party's nominee. >> and, marcy, we talked about

it briefly. what to make of that controversy with the speeches? >> reporter: oh, with melania's speech. at first after she gave her speech, she got a lot of praise for her poise and message. then people started to realize that at least parts of it sounded a lot like michelle backup's 2008 convention speech. we'll let you listen to a part of both of those speeches now. >> because we want our children and all children in this nation to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them. >> because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. >> marcy, we know in these situations, these people frequently aren't writing their own

how much of this falls to them and what happens with all of this now? >> reporter: well, earlier in the night melania said she wrote this speech herself, quote, with as little help as possible. so not sure if there's any blame, where it might fall, but, yeah, she was taking responsibility. but she hasn't commented yet since all the speculation about the similarities. >> maybe the help was just two little lines. >> and then there was a lot of argument over the delegate rules. where does this stand? is it finally over? >> reporter: it appears to be finally over. there could be some more protests on the floor later today, but it's not expected to make a difference, but it does kind of go against that unity message that trump and the gop leaders are trying to send. >> all right. marcy gonzalez live for us at this early morning hour in cleveland. marcy, thank you. former new york mayer, also gave probably the

he slammed hillary clinton and touted trump as a great leader who will keep the country safe. >> for more on the national security theme and what it means for trump, let's turn to rick kline. >> the politics of fear front and center in the first night of donald trump's republican national convention. lots of scary talk from speakers here of illegal immigrants. fear of crime. fear of terrorism. all of those things put in the spotlight by donald trump, and then the capstone of the night, donald trump appearing early to introduce his wife, and his wife making the case that he is the solution to those problems. he is the solution to that fear. this was a disorganized night. it was a meandering night at times. effective in terms of presenting his family, starting to show what a trump convention is about and framing his campaign in a slightly different light about safety and security and about himself as the answer to those

>> all right. thanks to rick in cleveland. looking ahead to tonight's schedule in cleveland, the theme is make america work again. >> donald trump junior and tiffany trump are among the speakers. paul ryan and chris christie will also address the delegates. >> exclusive reporting throughout the day and evening including a live special report in all time zones at 10:00 p.m. tonight. you can find a live stream on abc news digital. >> and baton rouge, an outpouring of emotion for the police officers ambushed there. hundreds gathered for a vigil last night to honor the officers. this after police released video showing the gunman's movements on sunday morning. they said the officers were intentionally targeted and assassina assassinated. the shooter was carrying two rifles and a pistol. he was killed by a s.w.a.t. team sniper. they believe if he hadn't been taken down, he would have caused for
