>> i didn't realize how much of a joke it would be around here today. >> we won't show you. >> no. i didn't realize how much of a joke. they said, michael, we pinkie swear. i am okay and happy to be back. >> great to have you back. we'll begin with that blistering heat, record highs out west where temperatures are soaring past 100 degrees. ginger, of course, has the latest on the heat wave hitting right now. good morning. >> good morning, in the midst of what could be a historic heat wave for the pacific northwest we are in what is a very wild and almost ridiculous fire season. more than 5 million acres have been burned year to date, the second largest year to date number in the past decade so big numbers. this one is the diamond creek fire in northern washington, just east of the cascades. that is 6700 acres. only 11% contained then quincy, california, where we have the 1500 acres there burning, 30% contained. just 2 of the 48 wildfires burning with heat advisories

red flag warnings and excessive heat warnings in portland land and medford could near their all-time record high. >> the heat out there. we'll be back to you in a moment. the latest out of washington. new reports that the justice department is planning to department whether university affirmative action programs are discriminating against white students as christopher wray prepares to be sworn in confirmed by an overwhelming march margin in the senate. and a false story about a democratic staffer's murder. taking on university affirmative action programs and mary bruce has details from washington. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, overnight "the new york times" is reporting that the justice department is working on a plan to investigate and potentially sue universities for admission policies that are found to discriminate against white applicants. the civil rights division is seeking lawyers

reeled to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions. now, the justice department tells abc news that no new policy has been implemented but critics say this cuts to the core of efforts to expand educational opportunities for minority students and could be a sign that the administration is changing course on a key civil rights issue. >> likely to be controversial. meanwhile, congress about to go home for their august break but will come back to a double barreled crisis both a possible government shutdown and hitting the debt limit and already started meeting on that. >> reporter: congress is gearing up for two key fights in september. first up, the debt limit, treasury secretary steve mnuchin is warning congressional leaders the government will run out of money to pay its bills by september 29th. earning them to act as soon as possible to raise the debt limit with no strings attached. and there's also another showdown. they need to pass spending bills to keep the lights on. september is going to be a very

busy month. >> it sure is. thanks very much. robin. what you mentioned we have more now on that new lawsuit against fox news alleging the white house helped push a false story about a democratic staffer who died. the white house denies they played any type of role. let's go to our chief national correspondent tom llamas for more on this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there's more legal trouble for the white house. a new lawsuit and a stunning accusation, that the white house coordinated with fox news on a bogus story and the lawyer who filed this lawsuit says he's going to depose the president. >> we're following four huge breaking news stories. >> reporter: this morning, a stunning accusation, fox news and the white house allegedly coordinated on a fake news story about the unsolved murder of dnc staffer seth rich. rich was killed in washington last year, sparking right wing conspiracy theories that he was murdered because he leaked tens of thousands of dnc e-mails to wick ki leak, not the russians

in may fox reported they had proof the conspiracy theory was real. >> if this is true and seth rich gave wikileaks, this blows the narrative completely out of the water. >> reporter: but it was not true. a week later they redacted the story. in they were using me as a pawn. >> reporter: fox news contributor and former homicide detective rod wheeler was at the center of it but he says the network fabricated his quotes. >> the worst quote that was attributed to me was the fact that i supposedly said that i knew for a fact that seth rich was in contact and sending e-mails to wikileaks, when in fact, i had never made that statement ever. >> reporter: the investigator wheeler got involved after being contacted by this man, ed butowski, a trump supporter. in his lawsuit against fox news, wheeler says enawe

discussed it with sean spicer. >> he said he could put me in touch with the white house general counsel. >> reporter: buto yousky set it up. >> i didn't go there for any other reason to say, sean, what should i do with this? >> reporter: when fox ran the bogus story spicer denied any knowledge of it. >> generally i don't get updates on dnc, former dnc staffers. >> reporter: but today he acknowledged he did have that meeting with wheeler and buto yousky calling him as requesting a tern-minute meeting to catch up. it didn't stop there. two days before fox aired the story, the investigator wheeler claims buto yusky saying that t white house was on board. >> i got a note that we have the full attention of the white house on this. >> reporter: then this follow-up text. not to add any more pressure, but the president just read the article. hean

the donor butowsky was joking and being sloppy with his words. >> i've never met the president. >> reporter: the new white house press secretary saying this. >> the president had no knowledge of this story and it's completely untrue about the white house involvement in the story. >> if you look at the text that ed butowsky sent to rod it shows part of a wider conspiracy. >> reporter: now fox news says they have no evidence the investigator in this case was misquoted. as for the allegation they ran the bogus story to distract from the russian collusion story, fox calls that completely erroneous and seth rich's family says they hope this ends all conspiracy theories. >> let's talk to dabo swinney about all this. this is a lawsuit against fox news but the president front and center. >> that's right, the president not named in the lawsuit and i think it's going to be difficult for them to get to depose the president as they want.

a sitting president can be forced to be deposed in a case in the bill clinton case with paula jones but i think that the facts here are very different. the press is not the defendant and it's going to be a long shot but -- >> likely that robert mueller the special counsel. >> aha. that's the key is that i think there's no question that robert mueller will be looking at this, not because this in and of itself would mean that it's obstruction of justice but it becomes another piece in the puzzle, remember, robert mueller is not looking for one single sort of gotcha moment. he's looking at a total picture here to say, was this piece with this piece and that piece and this piece and if you put them all together, is that obstruction of justice? the trump team would say, look, this is about lying to the media. you're allowed to lie to the media. they wouldn't even admit they were involved in it but for argument sake that's true. you are. >> coupled with the other story that came out the president getting involved in that don junior statement. >> right, so you are allowed to

it's not a crime to lie to the media but when you put the pieces together and you say, wait a second, this could potentially all be part of an effort to obstruct justice and that's the danger here for the president. >> meanwhile, this lawsuit itself, how strong? >> you know, look, it'll depend on the fact -- there are concerns with it. he went on television after this story with the fabricated quotes came out and didn't yell and scream, those quotes are fabricated, et cetera. but i think it will probably make it past the first round here of summary judgment and will continue to be a distraction for this administration and certainly for fox news. this is way more embarrassing for fox news than it is for the president because this is the idea that fox news is potenti potentially allowing the president to read their stories first. that's awful for them. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. george now to breaking news. the u.s. test launching a missile early this morning as we learn disturbing new details about that recent north

fly flew over the test zone minutes before the missile landed. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has more from washington. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. just hours ago, the u.s. test launched an icbm from vandenberg air force base in california. an advisory was given far in advance about this show of force and the u.s. never conducts the test launches in flight paths or sea lands but there are two words that best describe the north korean launch as reckless and dangerous. north korea's most recent icbm launch alarmed the world showing that it could potentially reach the u.s. mainland. but there was a more immediate danger, the missile was launched 2300 miles straight into space. in the middle of busy commercial flight paths. as the missile was descending flight data shows an air france 777 with 323 people on board

traveling from tokyo to paris in the same area. less than ten minutes after the plane passed northwest of okushiri island, the missile fell to either landing in the waters the spot the air france plane had just flown. >> the crew of this plane had no idea that they were in danger because the missile was coming in from outer space and what if it had broke be up at altitude and scattered piece all around, it would have made it even more dangerous. >> reporter: air france said it operated without any reported incident and that the airline constantly analyzes potentially dangerous flyover zones and adapts its flight plan as cordingley. but the pentagon has said north korea's missile launches are done with no coordination. and when there is no coordination there is always the possibility of accidents. north korea's missile and nuclear capabilities are already a huge challenge for the u.s. this kind of recklessness makes it even worse, geor

martha, thanks very much. now to that incident in san francisco's airport where a 17-year-old passenger opened an emergency door on a plane, jumped out on the tarmac before being caught and nick watt is in los angeles with the story. good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, other passengers described the teen as anxious and fidgety before he suddenly popped that overwing emergency door. >> he jumped off the plane. >> reporter: a passenger captured the harrowing scene inside the cabin just seconds after a 17-year-old jumped out of the moving plane. >> we just saw the person sliding off the wing and hitting the ground running. >> reporter: it landed at san francisco airport when the teenager opened an emergency exit door and leapt. >> just standard landing and everyone noticed that the door had come off. >> we have an over-wing exit that is open and a passenger get off to the wing. that's correct? can you see that from the tower? >> reporter: the teen grabbed on the airfield by

crew. >> only guy standing there with the maintenance guys without a vest. >> reporter: more than a dozen law enforcement agents swarmed the plane. the man who was sitting next to the teen taken in for questioning. >> the people next to him, they seemed pretty surprised when he jumped. >> reporter: the suspect, a u.s. citizen was arrested on the tarmac by police. airport officials telling us no runways were impacted, no operations affected and no one was injured. so what happens to the kid? well, the fbi was involved in the investigation. but it's clear this is in no way terror related so, george, the case has been handed back to the san francisco officials. >> any idea what it was? >> unclear this kid was traveling by himself. he was 17 years old. that is all we know. the plane landed. he popped the door, onto the wing, down and off. >> so strange. okay, nick, thanks very much. and now to a consumer alert about popular glitter iphone cases.

other body parts. >> reporter: while 24 people worldwide, 19 in the u.s. reporting skin irritation and burns from the contents of the mixbin phone indicates. others turning to somebody about other brand liquid cases. one woman posting a rash she says came from her case. another posting a burn from a separate case. that case now off the market. and we reached out to the companies that sold this product as well as mixbin. did not hear back. those who have any of the 24 cases under recall should contact mixbin electronics for a full refund, michael. >> thank you. amy, you're here with the morning's other top stories starting with a flight nightmare. that's right, passengers on a flight to canada are describing it as that, a nightmare forced to sit on the tarmac in ottawa for six hours. there was no air-conditioning, no water, one passenger was so desperate they even called 911. they were all headed to montreal

a canadian airline where they were diverted because of bad weather. the airline is blaming traffic at the airport. and five people had to be taken to the hospital for breathing problems after an odor on a jetblue flight to ft. lauderdale diverted to okaying city. a mechanical issue may be to blame for that situation. and the last of 12 inmates who used peanut butter to escape from an alabama prison is back behind bars. bradley kilpatrick was captured in florida. the men broke out on sunday after changing a door number with peanut butter and then tricking a guard. well, the president's youngest son is just 11 but it looks like he may have been longer than we thought perhaps hundreds of years. the internet is buzzing about a book apparently published back in 1890. you can see the name there, "baron trump's marvelous underground journey." although it's only spelled with one "r," his mentor don inspires him to travel to russia. >> did

adult like they were doing well in classes and now not so much. if you see a loss of pleasure in doing things, they don't really want to go to the party, they don't really want to engage with friends and part of the loss of function might be they're not going to the meals, they're not going to their classes, if you see any expressions of hopelessness and this is a really important thing, because they might post something that seems like, oh, they're just being dramatic or something, take it seriously. if you're a parent, if you're a friend, somebody at the school and you see a post that says, you know, something like what's the point? or, you know, what am i doing here? >> take it seriously. is it more that parents and others can do to help. >> absolutely. you absolutely should align expectations. kids go off to college thinking it's going to be the biggest, best time of their life and everybody reinforces that, you know what, that's not true. they're going to be ups and there are going to be downs and you need to let them know that so that when it happens, they're

five minutes. jennifer later posted this picture on instagram to warn other parents. >> the reason i posted it is because i don't want it to happen to somebody else's baby because it was horrifying and i know what it's like to lose a child and i would never want my friends or family or anybody to have to go through something they could prevent. >> reporter: according to the cdc infants and young children have a harder time regulating their body temperature. a child's body overheating three to five types faster than adults. and indoor rooms can actually get hotter than outside temperatures. >> there's no ventilation. if it has a large window where the sun just pours in all day and heats the room, this may be one room in the house gets hotter than all the other rooms in the house. sometimes a window being open might not make any difference at all. >> reporter: now, these are the signs to look out for. if kids get really sweaty and red or have trouble breathing or speaking, you have to try to

like a cool towel or some ice and if they lose consciousness you have to seek medical help immediately. michael, the good news is that little girl is totally fine and mom has added fans to the room. >> i don't think most parents would think about it. thank you. outside to ginger with more on that record heat. >> michael, i just got off the phone with our portland affiliate in oregon and mary was telling me, a meteorologist there telling me it's the overnight lows, not just the afternoon highs that are creating a problem. so parents are going to have to be aware of this too. the heat advisory that go south to monterey bay and the fire watch, record heat sticks around. look 59 those numbers. 107 tomorrow.

>> i think a lot of couples these days are trying to be really smart about their decision and instead of spending $20,000, $30,000 on a wedding they're putting that toward a house, a car, having a child, going on a great vacation. >> reporter: so while runing away to vegas may never be out of style more and more cups may decide to elope like this. >> it was fun. eloping was really fun. everyone else is at work and we got to run off and get married. >> now, remember, family and friends aren't always okay with being left out. you'll want to take that into account but for lori and john their elopement was a day to remember. if not they can always check instagram. >> all right. thank you so much, diane. coming up, jeremy renner, elizabeth olsen, live right here on "good morning america." don't go anywhere.
