else was in the hot seat. the women tell all. our senior global executive exclusive consulting analyst is here to break it down. it's tuesday, march 7th. from abc news, this is "world news now." well, repeat that title? >> i think i forgot. jack is like whoa, i just got a raise. yeah. >> don't i wish. >> we are going to have more from our bachelor analyst coming up. we're going to start with breaking news. at least one tornado as severe weather hit several states. >> you can see the line of storms from oklahoma to wisconsin. tornado warnings were in four states. >> they're trying to figure out the extent of the damages. these scenes east of kan

swept through a neighborhood. >> get away from the windows. middle of your house. >> overnight severe storms lashing the heartland. >> tornado on the ground. >> a meteorologist with our kansas city affiliate spotting a twister on the ground east of the city. bright lights lighting up the sky as the winds take out power lines. >> i have power flashes. this is a tornado that is on the ground. >> reporter: on the ground, destruction. golf ball sized hail pelting the area. this rooftop landing in the middle of a road, and this home surrounded by debris, the roof also ripped off. >> it looks like it's roping out there. >> reporter: it wasn't only missouri. a likely twister also in minnesota. if confirmed, it would be a record breaker, the earliest tornado ever to hit that state. >> and there could be more tornadoes and severe storms on the move today. let's get the forecast from paul williams. paul, good morning. >> good morning, diane, kendis.

the same low pressure is going to vary toward the northeast, but before it does that, it's going to cause big time problems and quite frankly, havoc throughout both of the dakotas. going into minnesota as well as wisconsin, nebraska, and into omaha. we're expecting windy conditions. winds accelerating between 40 to 60 miles per hour with or without an actual storm. kendis, diane. >> our thanks to paul there at accuweather. hope people are hunkering down in the overnight hours. the other big story this morning, president trump signing a new version of his travel ban after the first one triggered a fierce backlash and legal challenge. >> protesters are outraged over the revised order. they were joined by new dnc chair as they gathered outside the white house last night to voice their opposition. abc has more on the ban. >> reporter: the white house tweeting this photo of the

order. the media not allowed in. a far cry from the fanfare over the first travel ban. >> big stuff. >> reporter: and that is not the only difference. travel ban 2.0 rescinds the original now stalled in courts, addressing some of the red flags raised. the original order, ban citizens from seven muslim majority countries including iraq. now iraq is no longer on the list opening the door for people like translators who worked with the u.s. government. >> this is part of our ongoing efforts to eliminate vulnerabilities that will be exploited for destructive ends. >> reporter: there's not an indefinite ban on refugees from syria. and it scraps protections for rjts minorities like christians. it's after delay upon delay from the white house. >> it's a question of getting it right. >> reporter:hi

like these. chaos at airports around the world. families stranded in the confusion of a hasty and botched rollout. initially the president insisted the first order had to be implemented immediately, tweeting the security of our nation is at stake, but this new version doesn't take affect for ten days. >> he said the bad guys were going to pour in if it wasn't done right now. but there's a ten-day delay in this one. is -- what's changed? >> it's very important that this exist at all. first we were criticized for doing things too quickly. >> reporter: and one more change. this time it is spelled out in writing, green card holders, dual citizens and anyone with a visa won't be affected. thank you. the gold star father to challenged the then candidate donald trump claims his travel privileges are under review. he has cancelled ape

travel status changed. he refused to comment to abc news. a customs and border patrol official says they've never heard of a travel review, and they don't contact travelers before their trips. a new associated press poll shows americans divided on immigration, particularly in terms of the types of immigrants. two-thirds say the benefit of admitting legal immigrants outweighs the risk, and when it comes the refugees, 52% say the risks outweigh the benefits. the president is refusing to back away from his claim that president obama wiretapped his phones. despite denials from former intelligence officials. >> the president still has offered no proof to back up the allegation. a former cia director pointed by president bush said that president obama could not have ordered any such wiretapping but sean spicer appeared to double down on that claim today. >> there's no question that something happened.

the question is is it surveillance? is it a wiretap? whatever. >> well, intelligence experts say the president doesn't need to go to congress for answers. all he has to do is ask his justice department. >> and there was another hot topic on capitol hill. will the republican health care proposal play out the way the republicans want? so house committees will start working on it tomorrow. surprisingly not all house and senate republicans are on board with it. some say that it goes too far, especially in cutting state subsidies for medicaid. other republicans say it doesn't go far enough. they're calling it obama care light saying it keeps too much of the old plan. key changes could include defunding planned parenthood and eliminating penalties for not having health insurance. >> then there's ben carson. the housing secretary under fire for comparing slavery to immigration. >> carson is the only black member of president trump's

>> he made the comments in his first speech to hud employees. >> there were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships. worked harder for less. but they, too, had a dream. that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great grandsons, great granddaughters, might pursue prosperity. and happiness in this land. >> carson initially defended his comments. then later posted on facebook that he's proud of the courage and perseverance of black americans. he added that the slave narrative and immigrant narrative are entirely different experiences, and should never be intertwined. he went on the radio last night also and said whether you come legally or illegally, you are an immigrant. so slaves as a whole were immigrants of this country. even if they were brought here not on their own volition. >> okay. that's his explanation. there are some people who are not liking the comments

>> just a few. >> samuel l. jackson fired off a few twitter comments. we can't read any of them on the air really. >> but okay, ben carson. i can't. immigrants? in the bottom of slave ships? and then just insert any line from -- >> any movie he's ever done. >> every samuel jackson performance except for his tv commercials, and you've got it. coming up, the driving the wrong way down the highway. >> see the police dash cam video of a driver making terrible decisions behind the wheel. and speaking of poor decision making, oh, it is time to check in with abc's the bachelor to see who has made it to the final two. spoiler alert, the black girl didn't. nick's big decision is right around the corner. >> such a spoiler.
