>> reporter: in one of his new free-wheeling speeches, president trump included these remarks. >> you look at what's happening in germany. you look at what's happening last night in sweden. sweden. who would believe this? sweden. they took in large numbers. they're having problems like they never thought possible. you look at what's happening in brussels. you look at what's happening all over the world. take a look at nice. take a look at paris. >> reporter: and that set off a trans-atlant trans-atlantic tizzy. many thought he was including sweden in with brussels and paris. but they reported there was no terrorist attack on friday. many asked for clarification. sweden? terror attack? what has he been smoking? questions abound. on sunday, the white house explaining the president was talking about rising crime in recent

not referring to a specific incident, adding that the president was referencing a news report he had seen the night before. president trump heads back to washington, facing a crowded slate of problems. he's promised a new version of his travel ban. his first one halted by the courts, and he has yet to name a new national security adviser. in florida, sunday, he met with four possible replacements after michael flynn was forced to resign. that appointment is expected soon. richard cantu, abc new, new york. two members of the national security council have been ousted in less than a week. the deare was fired, and came four days after michael flynn resigned as national security adviser. canada is feeling the impact of the president's promise to crackdown on undocumented immigrants. there's a dramatic

these closed roads to illegally cross into canada. canada allowed nearly 40,000 syrian refugees into their country in the past year. in a joint news conference with president trump, justin trudeau promising canada will remain open. >> we continue to pursue our policies of openness towards immigration refugees without compromising security. >> reporter: so far immigration lawyers tell us there has been a steady stream of people crossing into canada, and it does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon. eva pilgrim, sham plain, new york. turning to the weather. officials are telling residents of northern california to be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice. a new strong storm system is moving in right now bringing strong winds and heavy rain. flash flooding, mudslides and other problems are expected in the already-saturated area. some residents of the town of maxwell have already evacuated.

half an hour north of los angeles, they're cleaning up from a powerful windstorm that knocked down dozens of trees. one of the trees fell on a moving vehicle while others knocked down power lines. it's so interesting. maxwell, really tiny story, is the town of my first grade teacher's mother. so i know i need to make a phone doll call or send an e-mail after this broadcast. now the next is on the weather in northern california, but it's not the only area expecting weather. >> cam tran is here with the forecast. >> good morning. we are looking at the barrage of storm systems continuing in the west coast with another one moving in right now. another one moving in late tonight into tomorrow, between the two storm systems we're looking at over three inches of rainfall over the bay area. locally heavy amounts in the foothills, including the

oravil oreovilo oroweville area. the latest on the apparent assassination of kim jong un's half brother. security camera footage appears to show the deliberate attack. he was sprayed with poison and died on the way to the hospital after suffering a seizure. both of the women seen in this video, including the one in the lol tee shirt are now under arrest. investigators are looking for at least four others. and there's diplomatic fallout as a result. malaysia's ambassador to north korea has been recalled, and the north korean ambassador has been called in for questioning by malaysian officials. and results in the ecuadorial election have found that julian assange can remain in that

happened to be on it that day. >> such a tragic story. they're not sharing much about the case including how the girls died, but they've not disclosed what kind of evidence they've gathered. >> gosh. possibly coming soon to your smartphone, fm radio. the fcc wants to make it easier for you to do that. the software is seldom activated. regulateders say such a move would allow users to save on data. it would also allow smartphone users to get the same emergency alerts that drivers get in their cars. now cops in washington state prove they're no dummies, because they caught a speeder using the h.o.v. lane with a passenger that looks like a giant barbie. both were wearing their seat belts. >> that is a convincing mannequin. cute. yeah. >> amazing. coming up, the president versus the media. the viral hash tag o

hardly new and could almost be considered an american tradition. here's jonathan karl with his perspective. >> reporter: there is nothing new about a president of the united states criticizing or even vilifying the press. even thomas jefferson, the same thomas jefferson who wrote the declaration of independence and wrote our liberty depends on freedom of the press, even thomas jefferson, when he was a few years into his own presidency was so upset about what was being written about his administration that he flatly declared nothing can be believed that is seen in a newspaper. teddy roosevelt is next to jefferson on mt. rushmore wrote, there must be no criticism of the president, that we are to stand with the president right or wrong is not only unpatriotic but treasonable to the american pu

almost a decade after he left office. when he was in the white house, he coined the term muckrakers. he said they were so obsessed with the negative they were missing the good in the world, including the good he was doing as president. such negativity in the press, roosevelt said, is one of the most potent forms of evil. and that brings me to president donald trump who has taken presidential criticism of the news media to yet another level. in a way, it surprised me. the donald trump i knew as a young reporter in new york was nothing, if not media friendly. and for most of the past republican primary, he was the most accessible major candidate. no one else was even close. at thursday's press conference, we saw flashes of that. 17 reporters called on. many that he knew would ask tough questions. but now the president has declared the press the enemy of the american people. i've reported in countries where

leaders not only complain about a critical press but also try to shut it down,ly toi throwing re in prison or worse. i've seen my colleagues risk their lives and with increasing frequency, lose their lives in the pursuit of the truth. we are not about to stop doing our jobs because yet another president is unhappy with what he reads or hears or sees on tv news. there is a reason the founders put freedom of the press in the very first amendment to the constitution. as long as american democracy remains healthy, there will be reporters willing to pursue the truth, even if that means incurring the wrath of the most powerful person in the world. a free press isn't the enemy of america. it's a big part of what makes america great. >> and that was jonathan karl on this week with george stephanopoulos. >> exactly. he did a great job. >> that hash tag trended over

after the president sent out that tweet. so many people were talking about this. this was the conversation on all the sunday morning talk shows. >> i think if you are in fear, angry or defensive, whether you're the president of the united states, a member of the press, any american citizen, you have to remember, you stop thinking clearly when you have any of those scenarios. so we've got to keep our head in the game. coming up here, why you might want to cover up, even when you're in the privacy of your own bathroom. the problem of spy drones, coming up next.

get the hell off the space above my lawn! oh! hey! we did it!

>> my favorite scene from "modern family." it was gloria who shot that d n drone because it was spying on her. but they're becoming all too real for many americans. >> you've known you've felt this way before if you're not a drone enthusiast. but police in utah arrested a couple for allegedly using drones to spy on people in their barm bedrooms and barmes. >> i could see the drone hovering about 10, 15 feet outside the window. >> reporter: john hinson and his wife were stunned they were being spied on. >> that's terrifying. it was like a reality check for me. >> reporter: a drone enthusiast himself, hinson's first instinct, track it down. that's when he found

video of other unsuspecting victims. also images of this man arrested on voyeurism charges and his girlfriends. drone sales increase up 224% up last year. watch as a drone flies near this apartment. and a woman was breast fundi-fe her son when she noticed a drone hovering outside her window. what can you do? >> you cannot literally shoot something out of the sky. unfortunately, there isn't significant you can do. >> there are some states that will allow you to shoot them out of the sky, just fyi. >> just like gloria. >> but a lot of places it's illegal. and there have been cases where drone owners won, even though they were hovering near

million more to go to break even. good luck with that. >> oh, my gosh. and finally, making dreams come true. a 96-year-old world war ii pilot got to grab the controls once more. >> reporter: not exactly is this history repeating itself, but it echoes something this 96-year-old in this particular aircraft, once about70 years ago. bob rocklehearst. >> we started off with 1500 guys from flight school, graduated, 971. we lost about 251. >> reporter: he was delighted when offered the chance to climb once more into a world

mustang. >> you are amazing. >> reporter: they rocked some maneuvers up there at 8,000 feet. >> i had the complete controls. angot to ani got to do a loop. >> reporter: bob got through it all easily. but back on earth, he wanted it known that none of it was easy back when he was a kid at war. >> i think it's important that young people remember that there was a war, and it wasn't all parades and beautiful flight in the skies. >> reporter: but this time it looked pretty beautiful when history made a big circle, back in the life of one man who was there. john dunn vants. >> it's wonderful to see the light in their eyes. >> it's wonderful that we got to see it because it was recording

this morning on "world news now," president trump clarifying his remarks. >> referencing a documentary he apparently mistook for a news report. it's the latest in a series of gaffs calling into question. and caught on film, the assailants sneaking from behind, and the desperate moments after, when the victim was looking for help. then the liftoff from kennedy space center making history. why this routine blastoff is revising history books as well as advancing space x's quest to ut

space. and how about the world champion of billiards. it's colorful post-match interview lighting up the be with on this monday, february it 20th. >> that one is going to be exciting. i'm adrienne bankert. >> we're going to begin with president trump. after a weekend of confusion, there's clarity now about comments he made about sweden. >> the white house says the president was not talking about a terror attack in sweden as he addressed supports saturday. mary bruce has more on that and his ongoing battle with the news media. >> reporter: the white house forced to explain this head-scratching comment from the president, speaking saturday about the link b

and refugees. >> you look at what's happening in germany. you look at what's happening last night in sweden. sweden. who would believe this. >> reporter: what couldn't be believed, what the president was talking about. incident in sweden? what incident? >> sweden. they took in large numbers. they're have be problems like they never thought possible. you look at what's happening in brussels. you look at what's happening all over the world. >> reporter: even the swedish government baffled, reaching out to the state department for clarification. tweeting sweden? terror attack? what has he been smoking? questions abound. the white house explaining the president was talking about rising crime and recent incidents in general and not referring to a specific incident, adding that the president was referencing a news report he had seen the night before. the comments about sweden game 30 minutes after he railed

against a familiar target. >> the dishonest media, which has published one false story after another. i will never, ever let them get away with it. i will do whatever i can that they don't get away with it. >> reporter: but just thursday he falsely boasted about the size of his electoral college win. >> i guess it was the biggest electoral win since ronald reagan. >> reporter: that's simply not true. and when confronted about it -- >> i don't know, i was given that information. actually, i've seen that information around. >> reporter: the president holding a campaign rally saturday to take his message directly to his supporters, without, what he calls, the filter of the press. >> we are here to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. >> you guys give donald trump a hard time. you dissect what he said. he's not a politician. he doesn't have the perfect thing to say.

goes straight to us. and we can decipher it. >> reporter: as trump declares the media at enemy of the american people, even republican lawmakers are sounding the alarm. >> a consolidation of power, when you look at history, the first thing that dictators do is shut down the press. >> reporter: his own press secretary says the media is not the enemy. >> no, the press, as far as i'm concerned are a constituency that we deal with, and the, i don't have any issues with the press. >> reporter: the president is facing real challenges. concerns about his travel ban now on hold. questions about his administration's possible ties to russia, and he is still lacking a national security adviser. in florida, the president meeting with at least four possible replacements after michael flynn was forced to resign. that announcement expected to be coming soon. mary bruce, abc news, west palm beach. all right, mary traveling with the president, thank you so much.
