7:02 am
because of the violence in the streets. and there are pictures of the world leaders gathered. there's president trump and angela merkel of germany. president trump the only leader there who has not signed on to the paris climate accord. that will be on the agenda this morning. but today's key meeting, president trump, vladimir putin face-to-face for the first time, that was the handshake this morning with angela merkel and putin. the president will be one-on-one on him in just a few hours and all this comes after a night of violent protests around the summit there. thousands in the streets. fires, tear gas and water cannons. abc's james longman is on the scene in hamburg, good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, george. i'm at the police perimeter that surrounds the g20 summit and small protests like these have been happening all morning but follow a violent evening. overnight, 8,000 protesters gathered. most peaceful but many intent on violence. setting cars on fire, police using high pressured water cannons to keep them back. watch as police in
7:03 am
move in on the fire-filled streets. this porsche car dealership looted. tear gas striking the crowds. welcome 2 hell. that's the name of the protest gripping the streets of hamburg this morning. protesters and authorities clashing. bottles and rocks thrown. over 70 police injured. >> violence. i kind of feel pressure. >> reporter: protests always target g20 meetings but this year the stakes are higher than ever before as president trump comes to town. this is one of the main routes where leaders are arriving for the g20 summit and protesters are trying to block it and the police, water truck, they're trying to move people on. up to 100,000 protesters are expected. 20,000 police officers dispatched. major protests are expected to continue into the weekend and if last night was anything to go by, they could escalate. >> james, thanks for that. now the face-to-face b
7:04 am
president trump and vladimir putin. this meeting the first time the two leaders have met since trump took office and abc's cecilia vega joins us now from the site of the g20 summit. good morning to you, cecilia. hi. >> reporter: hi, amy. they've had a handshake and exchanged pleasantries and the white house not giving us a readout yet. the big meeting between the two takes place just a couple of hours from now. the president has been up early and tweeting all about it saying he's looking forward to that meeting and that, quote, there is much to discuss. this morning, the leaders of the most powerful countries in the world gathered together in the same room. and right there, the two men who will soon sit down for that high-stakes face-to-face. president trump and russia's vladimir putin. ahead of perhaps the most high-stakes diplomatic meeting of his presidency, the president is back to tweeting about his old campaign rival. this morning going on about hillary clinton's campaign manager john podesta and the dnc e-mail hack thanking ever
7:05 am
the reviews of yesterday's speech in poland and taking a dig at the media saying, i will represent our country well and fight for its interests. fake news media will never cover me accurately but who cares. this day of meetings with world leaders kicking off with a handshake with germany's angela merkel. the white house bracing for merkel and other leaders to come down hard on the administration for pulling out of the paris climate accords. but it is all eyes on that closed door meeting with putin. scheduled to last just 35 minutes. in poland the president offering a hint of the message he hopes to deliver. not about moscow's election meddling but rather russia's role on the world stage. >> we urge russia to cease its destabilizing activities in ukraine and elsewhere and its support for hostile regimes including syria and iran. >> reporter: and this morning the kremlin
7:06 am
putin has taken note of president trump's comments there. now, again, in just a couple of hours the big meeting takes place. we know in this room it will be the two leaders, a small group, their translators and two top diplomats including secretary of state rex tillerson. amy, we are also told there is no formal agenda for what they'll talk about. >> cecilia, do we now how trump has been preparing for this meeting? >> reporter: well, we know that he's been receiving briefings in general heading into these g20 meetings and that he has a binder for all -- one specific binder for all of the meetings that he will have here but nothing just about vladimir putin. on the other hand, vladimir putin, as you know, amy, a former kgb operative has been studying the donald trump playbook heavily before he showed up here. >> all right. we will see what happen, cecilia, thank you. george. >> let's talk more with our martha raddatz and the editor in chief of "the daily beast." john avlon. welcome to you both. no set agenda for thi
7:07 am
no specific briefing for the president. but what would constitute a successful meeting for the white house? >> reporter: i think a successful meeting would be they establish a good working relationship with president trump clearly laying out the grievances the u.s. has with russia. you heard some of those in his speech yesterday about ukraine and the support of the assad regime in syria and that putin gets the message that trump is not his friend and that he will remain tough. as for bringing up the hacking, there are certainly those who do not think the meeting will be a success unless he brings it up, george. >> and, john, the president, tough talk in his speech yesterday but in that press conference he seemed to take the putin line on hacking. >> and this is the dichotomy of donald trump, right. scripted donald trump was very tough on russia yesterday in a very well written speech standing up for western values but in private and at press conferences he tends to freelance and fall in line with the putin line and that's going to be the real challenge. in private does he take that
7:08 am
is he consistent about standing up to syria? does he bring up russian hacking or does he default to what we've heard since the campaign. >> we saw him freelance with the russian foreign minister. that talk of hacking came to the consternation of american intelligence officials. >> it sure did. i can't stress enough how astonishing it was to hear a president cast doubt on his own intelligence agencies. imagine vladimir putin saying the same things about his own intelligence agencies while at those meetings. this just does not happen. it's humiliating for these american professionals, yes, they have made mistakes but work every day to help make the country safe and president trump, of course, seems to believe them when he wants to. he had no problem firing those cruise missiles at syria based on intelligence, nor did he seem to have any doubts about north korea launching what his intelligence agencies told him was an icbm, george. >> john, on the broader agenda, the president lined up against most of the g20 issues o
7:09 am
yes, and, look, that's inevitable because the president has committed to his domestic base these things that are broadly unpopular within the international community. that's fine. does he try to bridge it? in other ways? does he try to keep american leadership paramount? right now america can pursue an america first agenda but needs to show that doesn't mean america alone and right now that confidence isn't there. he needs to be leader of the free world and assert that kind of leadership but leading from behind doesn't work if you keep avoiding these international agreements. >> john avlon, martha raddatz, thanks very much. amy. >> george, now to some breaking news from overnight. abc news learning that hackers have targeted some of the nation's nuclear power plants, concerns this morning that another country could be involved and abc's senior justice correspondent pierre thomas has the latest now from washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: amy, good morning. fbi and homeland security officials have sent a warning to the nation's nuclear power plants and other utility companies after a series of hacks since may. administration officials tell
7:10 am
computers of a number of companies that run nuclear power plants including wolf creek power plant in kansas. wolf creek declined to comment on security issues to us but emphasized there has been no operational impact on their facility. the real concern is about the motive for these hacks, which in some cases targeted engineers would work at the facilities, the critical question this morning were they probing looking for a way in to perhaps shut down operations and sabotage these plants or threaten them and blackmail them for cash, amy? >> pierre, we mentioned that u.s. officials believe another country may be behind this. do we know which country we're talking about? >> reporter: sources emphasize it's still early in the investigation. but forensic experts suspect it was a nation involved. some offs suspect it may have originated in russia but too early for confirmation. >> we appreciate it. thank you. we'll move on to two scary flight disruptions. a delta flight forced to return to seattle after a passenger attacked a flight attendant. and a passenger making threats on a flight t
7:11 am
abc's aviation correspondent david kerley has that from reagan national airport. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. a very long night for these two groups of passengers and that incident you mentioned that ended in seattle became quite violent on board. overnight, beijing bound passengers found themselves back in seattle after trouble on board. telling cairo tv -- >> we could see the scuffles going on. one flight attendant said there was a code 3. serious fight up front. >> reporter: just 45 minutes into the night 1 of the 207 passengers on board was walking back and forth to the bathroom in first class and then toward the exit door. passengers also saying that a flight attendant tried to stop the 23-year-old man and was punched. passengers stepping in to subdue the man. >> they broke two bottles of wine on his head. tried to choke him and he just threw me off like a rag doll. >> approaching delta 129 with emergency. >> reporter: that man taken into custody. a flight attendant and passenger taken to the hospital wh
7:12 am
life-threatening. at about the same time a canadian airliner with its own incident and an escort. >> you got a set of two f-15s. >> reporter: the u.s. f-15s escorting the jet back to montreal after a passenger was making threats which have not been revealed. he too taken into custody upon landing. now, in the seattle incident that man will be in court later today. amy, the good news is both sets of passengers now on their way to their final destinations. >> that is good news indeed, david. thanks so much. commuters here in new york bracing for delays after a train derailed at busy penn station last night. 180 passengers and crew were evacuated. service was restored early this morning but with lingering delays and this is the third derailment at penn station this year alone. prompting amtrak to schedule weeks of emergency track repairs, set to begin on monday. and now to that terrible injury at wimbledon. a top american player collapsing
7:13 am
agony. many are now asking why it took so long to get her the help she desperately needed. abc's t.j. holmes has more on that story. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: good morning, we have seen, of course, horrific injuries in sports from time to time. we have never quite heard one like this and in a sport where crowds are told to be quiet there was one deafening one in this crowd of thousands. this young lady on the ground screaming, help me, help me. it was a hard fought duel between two tough opponents. but in a split second, it all changed. >> help me. help me please. >> reporter: american bethanie mattek-sands grabs her right knee screaming in pain as her challenger watches on helpless. replays show the 32-year-old charging the net with her right knee buckles and she falls to the grass in agony. her opponent climbed over the net and catching a sight of the injured knee immediately calls for a doctor. >> help me. help me.
7:14 am
>> i've never seen anything like this and i panicked a little bit as well. tried to comfort her as much as i could but you -- i mean, you could feel the pain. >> reporter: mattek-sands doubles partner lucie in tears. the tandem had been huge favorites to win their fourth straight grand slam title. the stunned crowd watched as the minnesota native was treated by a medical team. her husband justin by her side. the player was finally carried off on a stretcher almost 20 minutes after collapsing. >> felt like so long. there are sports where you see something is happening and you see it straightaway. here it took a while so someone has to take the video and actually time and see how long it took for people to get there because for me i think she was too long on the ground. >> reporter: wimbledon officials say they responded within one minute but the player was kept on the court while pain relief was given then a waiting
7:15 am
ambulance rushed her to a hospital. now, she is having more tests done on that knee this morning. we might know something in a few hours. to her opponent's point what if this had been a cardiac arrest where seconds matter in life and death. it took too long for somebody to get out there and could have felt like an eternity because we hear her screaming and that gives you chills about this. we're still waiting to see what happened to that knee but an awful scene. >> it sure was. >> thanks, t.j. move on to that latest bear scare that happened on a trail in maine when a man trained to run marathons came face-to-face with two black bears. these encounters are on the rise and matt gutman has details. good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, george. we have seen a spike in bear encounters from maine that you mentioned all the way to alaska and california where there's perfectly good luxury car got thrashed by a bear. now, most often experts will say do not run from a bear. this marathon runner in maine didn't get the memo. he can run 26 miles in a little over two hours. but nothing could prepare
7:16 am
for the race of his life. against two black bears. he was six miles into his morning training run in maine when the bears emerged out of the woods. he panicked doing what runners do and sprinted towards an empty house nearby but the bears gave chase. within seconds they were right on his heels. >> i was not going to fight them. >> reporter: he ran up to the porch, slipped inside the screened area and waited until they lost interest. >> started sniffing the door. >> reporter: nothing but a scream betwe screen and eight bear claws. they eventually moved off. now, running is not recommended for us mortals as i recently learned bears can reach speeds up to 30 miles an hour. >> you never run. never run. >> you never run from a bear. >> nationwide bear encounters are on the rise. with two people mauled to death in very rare back-to-back attacks in alaska last month.
7:17 am
now that bears have shaken off their winter slumber they're frisky looking for easy calories. >> freakin' bear. get out of my garage. >> reporter: shamelessly invading hopes, foraging garages and raiding garbage cans. this same bear believed to be caught on another home surveillance video raiding the fridge. now, i want to give you guys a sense of how powerful but how clever these bears are. this car belonged to my boss, our bureau chief. he was in upstate california when a bear helped himself into the car, opened the door, getting into the car, and then exploding it. check this out. completely ripping out the paneling, that was a headrest. but one of the scariest things what it did to the steering wheel. this is hard plastic it ripped right through it and perhaps adding insult to injury the bear did in the car what it normally does in the woods, guys. >> yeah, yeah. >> and he let himself in so politely. >> he did but --
7:18 am
>> incredible. >> reporter: amazingly the car still runs. >> thank you, matt. let's go over to ginger now. a lot of severe weather overnight, ginger. >> this morning in west michigan at least one man is dead after a tree went into a home there. winds gusted up to 90 plus miles per hour. that's grand haven, michigan, but other spots now more than 140,000 folks without power. and in butler, pennsylvania, a city emergency has been declared by their mayor thanks to 3 plus 23467s inches of rain. the storm still moving through, cleveland has a severe thunderstorm warning. the weekend getaways brought to you by sherwin-williams.

good morning, welcome back to "gma." there is president trump in hamburg, germany this morning. the leaders of the g20 nations all gathered for their summit, climate change, trade at the top of the agenda. of course, president trump's big meeting today, face-to-face with vladimir putin for the first time. there's the turkish leader right there. and there is vladimir putin. a lot coming up this morning from germany. and we will get to all of that in just a bit. but we begin with venus williams on the court this morning at wimbledon and facing a court battle of her own at home. a judge granting her an emergency order in the civil lawsuit over the deadly car crash she has been held accountable for and abc's gio benitez has been following the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning.
7:31 am
it's this legal drama that's making headlines all over the world and this morning we're hearing from both sides. this morning, venus williams heading back to the court while her attorneys are in court in the escalating legal battle between the tennis superstar and the family of jerome barson, on wednesday a judge granting williams an emergency order of protection stopping the barson family's inspection of her car and downloading of its data arguing she was given less than 24-hour notice for the vehicle to be inspected and was concerned about the unintentional loss of data. overnight the family saying this seems to be an attempt to hide information. >> it seems odd to us that everyone wouldn't want the facts brought fort and brought to light. we and our clients don't understand what anyone gains from continuing to delay this investigation. >> reporter: but according to court documents williams' side says they just want to wait until all parties can be present with their
7:32 am
this all stemming from that deadly car accident last month that ultimately killed the 78-year-old barson and severely injured his wife linda. the police report says it was williams who was at fault for violating the right of way of the other car. while the investigation is ongoing, williams hasn't been ticketed or charged and police say she was not distracted or under the influence. the barson family who is suing williams for wrongful death now also wants access to video from security cameras near the accident site. >> we have sent and filed with the court a notice of subpoena to both the guard gated communities where the footage was taped and to the police department. >> reporter: this latest caps off an emotional week for the seven-time grand slam champion. after winning her first round match at wimbledon, she broke down at a press conference when asked about that accident. >> really no words to describe like how devastating
7:33 am
yeah. i am completely speechless and it's just -- yeah, i mean, i'm just -- >> reporter: and venus williams cut that press conference short because she was so emotional. meanwhile, about that car, her lawyer told us overnight that the emergency order actually ensures that both sides can properly prepare for the car's inspection so that all evidence is preserved. amy. >> all right, gio, thanks. let's bring in abc's chief legal analyst dan abrams for more on that. dan, what do you make of this emergency order? >> look, i think that it makes total sense and i think that venus williams is going to win in effect in this case meaning on the order. why? because this is the key piece of evidence. the car. you've got the video and then you've got the car. and knowing exactly how fast it was going, being able to get all the data from the car is critical and so the fact that venus williams' lawyers are saying, wait, we would
7:34 am
put in place a procedure here before the plaintiffs just go into the car and start extracting information, makes complete and total sense. >> is there any validity and i'm guessing you're going to say to the plaintiffs' lawyer assertion that this is about hiding evidence. >> no, i mean the bottom line is they're all going to get access to the car. they'll all get access to the data. it's just a question of when and how. and to me that's just sort of playing to the media saying, oh, look at this. they're trying to hide evidence. this is very typical of what happens in a civil lawsuit. >> is it also about protecting venus in this moment? >> sure, i mean, look, that's the lawyer's job is to protect her, but it's also to protect the evidence from their perspective. look, you got to remember in this case, what you have is a situation where venus williams was turning into an intersection at five miles an hour and the car then strikes her. now, the police have determined that by making that turn into the intersection, that she was at fault. but let's also
7:35 am
not a situation where we're talking about someone driving 80 miles an hour in a 5-mile-an-hour zone and gets in an accident. so this was a sort of classic accident and determining exactly why it happens is going -- why it happened is going to be critical. >> how strong do you think this civil suit is? >> well, look, the minute the police say that she was at fault for, that's not a good sign for venus, right. in terms of the civil lawsuit. but when you look at the facts, you look at the fact that she's driving five miles an hour, et cetera, there's definitely going to be a defense here. i would expect this is the kind of case, though, that would settle. just becomes a question of can they work out a number? >> all right. dan abrams, we appreciate it. thank you. george. >> coming up here, guys, one of america's most notorious crime stories, the murder of fashion icon gianni versace. this morning, up side the mind of a serial killer.

we're back with a look ahead to tonight's "20/20" on the murder of top fashion designer gwen stefani outside his miami home. it has captivated so many for 20 years and john quinones is here with a look inside the mind of the serial killer who committed the crime. good morning. >> good morning, george. for three months in 1997 andrew cunanan sent authorities on a frantic cross country manhunt as he drove state to state killing four people along the way. ultimately arriving at gianni versace's doorstep in miami. it was the
7:40 am
that stunned the world. >> gianni versace was murdered in broad daylight this morning. >> reporter: designer to the stars, gianni versace, gunned down on the steps of his lavish south beach home. >> i think versace had everything that cunanan wanted. he wanted power, fabulous wealth, admiration. >> reporter: andrew cunanan born into a modest household in san diego, the bright 27-year-old worked his way up and floated in some of the world's most elite social circles. >> versace was a wealthy older gay man. exactly the type of person andrew made money off of but i think hated at the same time. >> reporter: but when a relationship with another man ended and cunanan suddenly lost his social status, investigators believe he snapped and went on a cross-country murder spree killing four people along the way. >> the fbi is seeking -- >> andrew cunanan makes the top ten
7:41 am
you had people in all parts of the country wondering whether andrew cunanan was going to show up at their house. >> reporter: authorities admit that by now cunanan could be anywhere. >> you know what he was doing, he was hiding in plain sight. >> reporter: police hot on his trail, cunanan outma mufring them at every step eventually landing in south beach where on the morning of july 15th, 1997 versace made his daily trip down to the local cafe to buy his italian newspaper. >> he said, good morning, i said, good morning. you know, and he went up towards his house. >> i didn't know that gianni was out. >> as he's walking up the stairs what we know now to be andrew cunanan comes up behind him and shoots him twice in the head. >> when we heard bang, bang, i thought it was backfire from the lawn mower that was being worked on. >> oh, immediate god. there's blood everywhere. please help me. please. >> so i run out the door and
7:42 am
i check his artery and he was gone. >> reporter: the fashion icon left murdered on his front steps. and cunanan's motive? >> i believe that andrew cunanan singled out gianni versace to murder because he was jealous of the lifestyle. i think he said i'm going down sometime so i want to go down in history. >> he wanted to be bundy. he wanted to be dahmer. he wanted the recognition. he felt he deserved it. >> reporter: tonight we'll take you inside the final stages of the manhunt as miami police finally close in on cunanan who had been hiding on a houseboat across from the fontainebleau hotel as he turns the gun on himself. >> john walsh thought he singled out versace but did they have any relationship? >> that's the enduring question and mystery. there are those that say they were close and they had met and he was a houseguest at versace's

say the two never met. he never met the man who wound up killing him. >> after 20 years still a mystery. fascinating stuff, full report on "20/20" at 10:00. coming up next in our big board the summer blockbusters that could take home a top oscar. the early buzz coming out of hollywood. that's next. i no longer live with the uncertainties of hep c. wondering, what if? i let go of all those feelings. because i am cured with harvoni. harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. it's been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. and is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if you've ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. tell your doctor if you've ever had hepatitis b,

7:47 am
the latest "spider-man" opens today already getting rave reviews. >> several summer blockbusters including "wonder woman" and "war for the planet of the apes" are being talked about best picture nominees. chris connelly joins us from los angeles. chris, is this the year? is this the breakthrough year where we'll see blockbuster films be nominated for top awards? >> no. anyway -- >> what? >> here's why i'm asking the question. seems like we're overcoming what you might call when someone's people cow the soft bigotry of low expectation. when it comes to franchise films. and that's thanks to movies like "planet of the apes" film and very much to "wonder woman." i mean people come up to me and talk about "wonder woman" and say the moment when she comes out of the trencheses in no pan's land makes them cry and touches them, moves them in a way and people would like to see the academy reward moments like
7:48 am
that. reward pictures that touch them and that are also hugely successful but we know is hollywood is two parts. these are big summer blockbusters with big budgets and big expectations and smaller flips that come out at the end of the year that need meet the architecture of top ten critics' lists so those two hollywoods don't mix right now and that's why we probably won't see blockbusters do well. >> the lineup is pretty spectacular for the end of the year as well. so you don't expect the academy to really change their tune? >> well, you know, you can never really tell for sure. you'd like it to change. once upon a time you didn't need hair my color to know that "forrest gump" won best picture or "titanic" won best picture. could we see that again? it would be nice to see and change in the academy voters this year. a year ago they let in nearly 700 new voters. this year -- close to 00 new voters. betty white and
7:49 am
get to vote this year for the oscars. i don't know if that means they'll vote for blockbusters but with the people voting for oscars changing, we might see a change in the kind of flips that do well. >> but i should point out and i know you know this in 2015 a blockbuster was nominated. "mad max" so what was different about that movie? >> well, "mad max" swept the craft awards. it took everything that wasn't nailed down in the craft awards. it's probably the most underreported oscar story of the millennium. that film was seen as the personal creation of george miller, a wonderful filmmaker and so we might see it again. remember, the reason why we get more than five best picture nominations now is because "dark knight" didn't get nominated for best picture. they would love to see another movie like that. a big audience picture with great critical response do well enough to get an oscar nomination. could "wonder woman" be that movie this year? there's every chance. i wouldn't rule it out. >> i say yes. >> there we go. i'll vote for it as
