today. one day after hillary clinton said he cost her the election and president trump blasted him for going easy on hillary. comey will face questions on russia and the election today and president trump will hold his first meeting with palestinian leader mahmoud abbas to discuss peace in the middle east. first to new setbacks for the republican health care bill. gop hopes were high earlier and thought they'd get the necessary votes but now new signs of trouble and our congressional correspondent mary bruce, you know she's there on capitol hill again for us this morning. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. republicans are racing to get these votes and now we've learned this morning they're considering making additional changes to the bill hoping to win over enough hold-outs to finally push this over the finish line. this morning, republican leaders insist they're getting close. >> mr. leader, when are we going to see a vote on health care? but the numbers tell a different story. by our count house republicans are on the brink of losing too many votes to pas

reform bill, 21 republicans oppose the current plan. more than a dozen are undecided and just two more no votes would sink it. in the middle of that divide, the white house. vice president pence has been meeting with lawmakers on the hill. >> do you have the votes for health care, sir? >> reporter: president trump making his personal pitch. how is health care coming, folks? how is it doing? we moving along? all right. i think it's time now, right? >> reporter: now a big blow from a key republican. the former chair of the committee that helped draft the legislation says he cannot support the bill because he's concerned about the impacts on americans with pre-existing conditions. >> i've supported the practice of not allowing pre-existing illnesses to be discriminated against. >> reporter: they made changes that coo gut those and possibly leave americans with pre-existing conditions paying more for their coverage. the bill's supporters are pushing back. >> so, the purpo

prices while preserving the protections for pre-existing conditions. >> reporter: putting a face to the debate, jimmy kimmel who made an emotional plea to cover pre-existing conditions. sharing the story of his newborn son billy's heart condition. >> if your baby is going to die and it doesn't have to, it shouldn't matter how much money you make. >> reporter: former president barack obama responding tweeting well said, jimmy. that's exactly why we fought so hard for the affordable care act and why we need to protect it for kids like billy. and now republicans are fighting the clock. just two days left before they go on recess facing the prospect of heading home without full if iing their key promise to fulfill and repeal and replace obamacare, they are now making an all-out push to get this done. george. >> okay, mary, thanks. more on this from our chief white house correspondent jon karl and the white house as mary said scrambling now to get these votes along with the speaker but it was the president's own confusing comments about the amendment that created some of the trouble.

>> reporter: well, that certainly didn't help but the president is deeply engaged personally engaged on this and i'm told just yesterday he spoke to 15 different republican house members who are either no or undecided on this bill. i'm also told that more republicans, a handful are expected here at the white house this morning to meet with the president. they're looking at trying to make some slight tweaks, some slight changes to get to yes. a top official here at the white house told me they still think they can pass it this week by a razor thin margin but i've got to tell you republicans i have spoken to on capitol hill are much less optimistic about seeing it pass. >> in the meantime, the president seemed stung on the reporting to keep the government open and had that tweet calling for a possible government shutdown in september. >> reporter: yeah, i've really never seen anything quite like this. just look at the tweet again, the words here, our country needs a good shutdown in september to fix mess. we went round and around with the director of management a

budget here yesterday saying what does he mean? what is a good shutdown? they insist they still hope one doesn't happen but if you need a shutdown to change things so be it, the odd thing is the president came out shortly after that and declared victory on this spending bill, so a very interesting day here at the white house yesterday. >> the president took some heat for inviting the philippine lead leader duterte to the white house and as "the washington post" is reporting the president and his family were appearing in promotional advertisements for trump tower in manila up until this week. >> reporter: "the post" asked questions about it. it's not owned by the trump organization but a licensing deal, he got wean $1 million and $6 million between 2014 and 2015, you know, clear potential conflict of interest there, george. >> that's what ethics experts are saying, jon, thanks very much. more on psi

the two spoke for the first time since the missile strikes in syria. that as you know led to a chill in u.s./russian relations. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has more and joins us from washington. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. there has been a chill in relations, in fact, it has seemed downright frigid of late with both sides saying relations were at an all-time low, although president trump said he believed things would work out. this call was the first step towards that and both sides found reason for optimism. the white house saying the conversation was a very good one and the russians calling it business like and constructive and president trump has agreed to send a representative to syrian cease-fire talks and also discussed meeting president putin in germany in july, robin. >> what about the safe zones to protect syrian civilians and i know that the president, he's talked about this going back to the campaign, is this close to being a

trump has talked about this in the past, the white house has been very short on details about how that would actually work and what the u.s. commitment would be. but the white house says in that phone call, the two leaders did discuss a safe zone although the kremlin made no mention of any conversation about safe zones so that in itself doesn't sound very encouraging. >> thank you, martha. we move on to hillary clinton speaking out about president trump and her loss in november. she is taking responsibility but not all the blame as she joins what she calls the resistance to the president and his policies. cecilia vega covered clinton on the campaign trail. she joins us now. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. hillary clinton has kept a low profile since losing the election but an aide close to her tells me not anymore. she feels enough time has passed and she is stepping out of the shadows and joining what she calls that resistance. for hillary clinton there's a lot of blame to go around. >> i take absolute personal

i was the person who was on the ballot. >> reporter: but that election loss she says is not entirely all her fault. she also blames sexism. >> i do think it played a role and i think other things did as well. every day that goes by we learn pore about some of the unprecedented interference including from a foreign power whose leader is not a member of my fan club. >> reporter: that foreign power, the russians. >> ask yourself this, within an hour or two of the "hollywood access" tape being made public, the russian theft of john podesta's e-mails hit wikileaks. what a coincidence. so, i mean you just can't make this stuff up. >> reporter: she's also pointing directly at the fbi. >> i was on the way to winning until the combination of jim comey's letter on october 28th and russian wikileaks raised doubts in the minds

who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off. >> reporter: team clinton believes that is the day she lost the race when the fbi director announced he was looking into her e-mails yet again. >> the election had been on october 27th, i'd be your president and it wasn't. did we make mistakes? of course, we did. did i make mistakes, oh, my gosh, yes. >> reporter: clinton is now writing a book about it and says she is not going out quietly. >> i'm now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance. >> reporter: and that resistance, apparently involves throwing some punches at her old foe. >> i did win more than 3 million votes than my opponent. so, it's like -- [ applause ] >> reporter: clinton said she expected her comments would prompt a tweet and they did. overnight the president tweeting director comey was the best thing that ever happened to hillary clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds. i am told that, george, we will be

not as an activist, as a candidate. >> and we're going to be seeing a lot more of the fbi director james comey going up to capitol hill after facing a calling out from hillary clinton and the president is going to get those questionses on russia today. >> reporter: he is. not are it's not a hearing specifically about russia but do expect it to come up. >> thanks very much. over to michael. thank you, george. we turn to those deadly floods across the midwest. damaging hundreds of homes and forcing evacuations. now, more heavy rain is moving in and abc's alex perez is on the ground in eureka, missouri, with all the latest. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. you know, this is supposed to be one of the main streets through downtown here but take a look. it looks more like a river. the sandbags are in place but the big problem here, the rain has been relentless. here in missouri, the rising waters wreaking havoc for residents where flooding has claimed five lives. in eureka, the coast guard

with water by boat. the show me state already hit with at least 12 inches of rain and more expected to come this week. >> amounts could range from 1 to 3 plus inches over the next few days. >> reporter: the merrimac river at nearly historic levels. floodwaters damaging at least 200 homes so far and threatening to overflow into 1500 others. the flooding leaving many stranded. officials closing at least 270 roads even suspending amtrak service. >> i can't stress enough that if there's water on that roadway, do not go into it. >> reporter: but neighbors banning together working around the clock filling and stacking sandbags. >> the bags come off the truck, go all the way down the line. >> reporter: and to make matters worse here they are now bracing for another possible three to four inches of rain here in the next couple of days. michael. >> all right, thank you, alex. that's a lot of water. >> that is.

filled with tournamenters backing towards them in an aggressive manner. that's when officer roy oliver fired his rifle at the car killing edwards. but on monday a major reversal. the police chief saying after watching two separate body cam videos it was clear the teens were driving away from the officers. >> a rush to get the information out to be transparent. >> reporter: overnight outrage, the town demanding officer roy be arrested and charged criminally. the teen's parents wiping away tears telling abc news the magnitude of his horrible actions cannot be overstated. >> the family is digging in. they want to see this officer indicted. >> reporter: now a family grieving remembering the promising football player. how do you hope your short experience translates? >> how he is in the classroom. how he is out on the feel, you can't find a single person that has a bad thing to say about

family was told. state charges could still be filed. well, isis has claimed responsibility for a car bombing that wounded three u.s. troops in afghanistan today. that blast targeted a convoy near the u.s. embassy and eight civilians were killed. well, the next time you fly you may have less legroom at your seat. american airlines is reducing legroom, how are they doing this? by two inches on some planes. so they can add more seats. united is reportedly considering a similar move. all right. we know how we feel about that. a labor of love. jennifer pope is a teacher in texas and she is so committed to her students look at this. she was working on her lesson plan while she was in labor in the hospital. her husband gave it to the substitute teacher who was waiting outside her hospital room. jennifer, you see there, gave birth to a healthy girl less than an hour after finishing those lesson plans. a good reminder to

next week is teacher appreciation. >> i thought -- i was worried, a good time to tell people i'm pregnant. >> no, no, no. >> i think the kids would have been fine with no homework. >> exactly. >> hey, you know what, she knows what her kids need, not what they want. >> well, congratulations to her regardless. all right, now we'll turn to that incredible video of a plane crashing into an intersection and amazingly no one was seriously injured and gio benitez has the story. >> and harrison ford was not flying this plane, all right. >> ooh. >> just incredible. for people driving on the street they saw it fall from the sky but then the miracle. the pilot and passenger just walked away. just take a look at this shocking keen at this traffic light in washington state. a plane seen on dash cam video crashing into the intersection. the small plane had just taken off tuesday afternoon when the pilot reported losing power using the road as a runway the plan

damages for publishing photos of kate sunbathing and lama hasan has the latest. good morning, lama. >> reporter: yeah, and good morning to you, george. six photographers on trial charged with invasion of privacy and complicity for taking those photos of kate about half a mile from the chateau where they were staying at. william and kate were not in court but william did submit a scathing statement slamming the french magazine. lawyers for prince william and princess kate in court suing french magazine "closer" and its photographers over those images of kate sunbathing topless while holidaying in the south of france. the duke and duchess of cambridge asking for more than $1.5 million in damages. >> the paparazzi, they are the enemy and will absolutely pursue them when they cross the line. >> reporter: lawyers for the duke of cambridge tuesday reading a rare statement from william himself. expressing his anger and satne

describing it as particularly shocking. the prince writing, my wife and i thought that we could go to france for a few days in a secluded villa owned by a member of my family and thus enjoy our privacy. >> the fact that photographers used such long lenses to take these photographs of the duchess of cambridge with her husband in an incredibly intimate setting was just a step too far. >> reporter: william invoking the memory of his mother's passing say the photographs reminded us of the harassment that led to the death of my mother, diana, princess of wales and that the images of kate were all the more painful given his mother's death in a paris car crash while being chased by paparazzi almost 20 years ago. the lawsuit in line with the fierce battle the royals have been waning against the tabloids for invading their private lives. in recent years releasing stern reminders to the press that candid photos of prince george,

new girlfriend meghan markle are off limits. this morning lawyers for that french magazine are fighting back claiming that their coverage pleased not only their readers but also the royal family with a flattering portrayal. the french editor who published those photos telling abc news the magazine did not cross any lines. she describes them as a young couple on a terrace where thousands of cars pass by every day and claims security was more an issue rather than media frenzy. now the trial lasting just one day was heard by a judge. there was no jury and a strerd is expected on july 4th. we reached out to kensington palace and they told us they don't comment on an ongoing court case. >> i would not expect that. lama, stand by. we will bring in dan abrams, our chief legal analyst. this is quite different from a case you would see in the united states and in some ways much more serious. >> talking about a criminal case. you wouldn't have criminal charges brought here for that buthe

going to be, number one and i think this is the most interesting one is the paparazzi are denying taking the pictures. part of the defense is you can't prove that we took this picture. and -- >> i think they could. >> they're bringing in evidence about how their bank accounts suddenly inflated and made a lot of money after the pictures were taken and their cell phone records, et cetera, but that's one of the defenses. you can't prove we took those pictures and number two is this issue of privacy. right? invasion of privacy is the crime here and so the question is how private should they have expected it was where they were. the paparazzi say or the magazine says they were on a public road. one of the defenses and, yes, they used a telephoto lenses but anyone could have been on the road so there shouldn't have been that expectation of privacy. >> the magazine also seems to be saying there is no harm here. it was a nice story. does that matter? >> i don't think that that is really going to change the issue of the photographs. no matter how you surround the

to be the photographs themselves. i don't think the surround story is going to be the case. >> lama, how is this playing with the british public? >> reporter: well, let's put it this way, george, william and harry undoubtedly believe the press intrusion into their mother, their mother's life, the paparazzi harassing her led to her death 20 years ago and i think the british press are mindful of that. i think they're very respectful of that and i think they've given them their space and i think they rely on a photo opportunity to get images of the royal family and i think the british public agrees with that. they're also respectful of that and of their belief that it was because of the paparazzi that diana died 20 years ago, particularly when it comes to this case, because it was the worst invasion of privacy william and kate have experienced since getting married in 2011 so it's a pretty big deal, george. >> thank you, lama. the statements about diana have any legal significance. >> they shouldn't, my goodness.

something that happened 20 years ago with diana seems to me crazy and this isn't a jury. this is a judge deciding it so you would hope that the judge is immune from that sort of, you know, sort of public pressure. >> okay, dan abrams, lama, thanks very much. over to robin. coming up in two minutes a search for a killer in paradise after a marine veteran and his girlfriend were murdered. when you open an avocado from mexico, you open a cinco de mayo party. so, you can celebrate any time or place. ♪ avocados from mexico [ somber music plays, people crying ] [ indistinct conversations ] aunt gertrude would have loved this.

back now with new details about that murder mystery in belize. a man from the u.s. and his girlfriend's bodies found a week after they disappeared. now their families are speaking out and abc's adrienne bankert is here with more. good morning, adrienne. >> reporter: good morning to you, too, robin. the two were found murdered after disappearing from the caribbean town they called a second home. police are hunting for their killer. from missing persons investigation to a murder mystery, police in belize finding the remains of

36-year-old drew devoursney, a marine veteran from atlanta and 52-year-old francesca matus of toronto in the sugar cane feels of chan chen near the mexico border following a week-long search. >> we have one person that we believe can assist us in our investigation. >> reporter: the pair found face down monday night with duct tape around their wrists, police say the couple was strangled to death. >> knowing he was with her just makes me feel better it wasn't him by himself and they were together. >> reporter: devoursney and matus had been only dating a few months and owned property in corozal wrapping up their trip. devoursney set to arrive in atlanta this friday and matus was due to return to her two sons in toronto last wednesday. the couple enjoying their final night at a local bar. it was the last time they were seen alive. when a friend arrived to pick matus up for the airport the next morning she wasn't there. her car gone. the house locked up. inside, her luggag

passport left behind. devoursney's motorcycle parked out front. his passport later found the ahis home. phones going straight 0 voice mail and tracking down matus' suv and finding their bodies ten miles away. corozal is considered safer than other parts of belize with the highest murder rate in the world. a chicago woman was killed at her resort near the guatemalan border. her killer has not been found. on facebook, friends turning matus' page into a memorial. her final post featuring a shot of the corozal bay. she wrote, that's the view that makes me feel at home. friends of this couple are vowing to get justice and help find their killer. the u.s. embassy and canadian consulate will help in the investigation. drew's brother just arrived in belize. he had gone down to assist in the search. now he'll be bringing drew's body back home. >> thank you. former fbi special

abc news consultant brad garrett joins us now, of course, the key question, who did it and why? tell us what investigators are doing right now? >> well, the key, robin, in this case in my view is because they were residents, this isn't like tourists there for a week or two. they have links into the community. so, i'm going to guess this has some tie to their relationship with people who live in belize. look at this. you have a vehicle found in a sugar cane field, the bodies ten miles away. there's apparently duct tape involved. they were strangled apparently. this sort of goes beyond just the run-of-the-mill robbery. there is some connection between these two and the community in belize. >> you take that because of you saying because of the duct taping and the strangling, you think that suggests something to you as you were saying? >> it certainly does. i mean if you're going to rob them why do you go to all that trouble? i mean, driving ten miles, et cetera, keep in mind, robin, that belize is

area for drugs. i'm not suggesting it has anything to do with drugs but gangs are active there and move a lot of dope through belize. you'll have to look at that connection. >> small country, small population. but some big obstacles there, brad. >> big, big obstacles, robin. they have a homicide conviction rate between 3% and 10%. as adrienne mentioned, the homicide rate is the third highest in the world and that's relative because it's a small population. but with a 3% solve rate, that's not optimistic. >> hopefully it will be different this time. all right, brad, thank you very much. michael. >> all right, robin, coming up on our big board, the big outpouring overnight after an orioles star was taunted at fenway. we'll talk about that when we come back. right now, at mcdona, get any small mccafé frappé, smoothie, or shake for just $2. $2? i mean how do you top a delicious, delectable, got-to-have-it-now al like that?

bristol, connecticut. good to have you both here. let's start with that disturbing incident at fenway. baltimore orioles all star adam jones a target of racial abuse during a game against the red sox monday. he said the crowd taunted him with racial slur, even threw a bag of peanuts at him. the red sox issued a quick public apology calling it inexcusable and boston's mayor tweeted what happened was unacceptable and then when he stepped up to the plate last night, jessica, standing ovation, i mean, the boston strong, they came out, they thoughed their support that they're not putting up with that. we've heard about the apologies, jessica. but is enough being done to discourage fans from that behavior that they experienced on monday? >> robin, no. i mean, it's definitely not and i think if anything, it's getting worse because it's a bigger society problem. even adam jones said in a 12-year career he has never

being screamed at him, thrown at him in that game and when you think about what players are dealing with and the fact that it's even punishable by just removal from the ballpark, i think things need to get more serious but what i do appreciate and you mentioned the ovation, i appreciate the fact that other players are now speaking out because, robin, that wasn't happening before. i mean even mookie betts before the game sent out a tweet saying, hey, you know what, by the way, i'm black too. let's get a standing ovation when adam walks up to the bat and he triggered that. >> i certainly don't think they're doing enough but at the same time you got to ask yourself how much can they do? you're major league baseball, you're the players, the mayor and governor from massachusetts all spoke out and you have fan, this is really it can get very, very interesting. if you're a fan, you're behind them, you're in front of them and know what a particular heckler is doing. you call them out. you make sure you highlight and you make sure you point out, this is them. this is not us.

in boston last night when they gave adam jones that applause. they were saying, look, excuse me, we applaud you for calling them out because that was him. that wasn't us. we're not like that and all know that boston as a city at least historically has had that kind of reputation with some african-american players as cc sabathia pointed out as others. you can't look at one individual and taint an entire city and the city did its job yesterday. >> dusty baker said it didn't surprise him. doesn't surprise him and it shows how much further baseball has to go but it seems to be big ger problem. nick saban got a new contract. i think he needs a bigger wallet scoring a massive raise, signed a contract extension that will net him over $11 million a season. making him not only the highest paid college coach, but one of the nation's highest paid public employees an

you feel should he be the highest public paid employee in the country? >> i have no problem with it and i think he is underpaid. let me be very, very clear. it's about the revenue you generate. it's not about people sitting on the sidelines saying, oh, my lord. he brought in $104 million. that wasn't coming in annually before nick saban arrived. if you're generating that kind of money for an institution and on top of it all the institution is benefiting, the student body is benefiting. television ratings are booming up, sorry, 11 million in an age where we have athletes getting nine-figure salaries, i don't want to hear that. >> your whole demeanor -- >> you talk about generating revenue. the players are generating some revenue. >> until the players start getting paid, i mean i feel like if anyone is going to get paid right now, let's look at college sports, is there anyone that means more to a program than nick saban to the university of alabama and until players --

that's a whole other topic, right. should players be getting paid, write them a check. >> that's what i was getting ready to say. nobody said the players don't deserve to be paid but don't tell me nick saban doesn't deserve to be paid. >> do you think the players should? >> absolutely. >> jessica. >> the ones that generate revenue. not the ones who don't. >> i say yes too. >> it's unanimous. coming up, "deals & steals" and a brand-new image of brad pitt, his first big interview since his very public breakup. thank you, jess. thank you, stephen a. coming up, "gma's" concert series presented by belvita breakfast biscuits. the delicious way to fuel your morning. ps) belvita breakfast biscuits. flavors like delicious blueberry or decadent chocolate, gently baked in a tasty biscuit.

it's comical and when these characters are broken and they screw up so much. it kind of humanizes them even though they're not meant to be human. i feel like that juxtaposition is what worked really beautifully and it's thanks to james, i have to say. he's a great guy, good director. >> how do your kids like the green makeup? >> at first it was so cute to see like their thought, they looked at me and were like, momma? yes, it's me. they hear my voice and they go, and their papa go is is gamorra. >> hope. >> yeah, yeah, momma knows the hulk. down with the hulk. >> so you have three boys at home now. >> three boys. four because it's four males, yeah. >> so being on set was relaxing? >> well, you know, i'm one of those. i can be with my kids all day because they're the most delicious little things i've ever met and talk about aliens to me, i
