into a crowded restaurant full of diners at lunchtime. how everyone miraculously survived. ♪ we were born to run and born to run. the astros edging out the dodgers in a record-breaking night on the baseball field scoring their first world series game win ever. >> the astros win it. >> with home run after home run. the wild night players are calling the best game ever. ♪ wrap your legs around these velvet -- and good morning, america. now that is a world series little home run derby last night. >> the game was incredible. but that's not what everybody is talking about. everybody is talking about the legend who made a surprise appearance. vin scully returned to the dodger stadium for the pregame ceremony and the whole time during the whole game all

he was in the booth. the guys in the booth wanted to give him the job last night. >> he still got it. >> his voice, unmistakable. but first we want to get to those new airport security measures going into effect this morning. for every flight heading to the u.s., you're looking live at l.a.x., as these screenings procedures start this morning. abc's david kerley is there with more on what we can expect. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the u.s. is demanding this increased security on flights coming to the u.s. and arriving at airports like this which means you are going to hear new security questions, and interview before you board called enhanced passenger screening ordered by the u.s. government three months ago. the deadline comes today for airlines to take part. it's up to them to decide how to meet this new security system and they will probably ask many of them have decided just to ask all passengers on all flights some security questions. that potentially mea

passengers from 21200 flights from 280 airports that fly directly into the u.s. who packed your bag, where are you going, the israeli model used to engage passengers to find if anybody is nervous or uncomfortable, robin. just some simple questions before you get on the flight. >> simple questions. you better have the right answers. that's for international travel. but like so many heading to the airport, have a dinner event later in orlando, domestic, international, these security measures, are they going to slow down travel? >> experts don't really think so, robin, because if you've flown domestically you've had these questions. it's just the engagement from airport, airline workers just to see if you're nervous or not. >> thank you, david. >> they have worked in israel. to the white house now where president trump is pushing hard for tax cuts ahead of today's crucial vote in the house. in an interview he struck an optimistic note. >> i think the house is looking

passing this bill along rapidly. that will happen hopefully today and did want to make a couple of calls. i said, fella, please, no changes, just pass it along. >> let's bring in cecilia vega and, cecilia, the president optimistic but we're already seeing a tug-of-war over 401(k)s. >> reporter: yeah, george, but so have sources i've spoken to are not as optimistic as the president on this one. the president said definitively there will be no changes to your 401(k) but the top republican on capitol hill, the person writing this tax reform plan says, no, actually there could be some changes under consideration, some sharp limits to what employees can contribute to their retirements. here at the white house yesterday president trump seemed to muddy the waters yet again and said actually 401(k)s could be used as a negotiating tool as republicans are debating and trying to figure out how to pay for his tax reform plan. the big deal right now, george, president trump needs republicans in order to pass this but he's a

and frustrated some of his allies on his continual mixed messages on this one. >> everyone wants tax cuts. always differences in how to pay for it, as you said. meantime, the president could make a major announcement previewing for some time an emergency on the opioid crisis but there's some nuance there. >> reporter: yeah, this is something he campaigned on. he first promised to declare a national emergency on this months ago. sources here at the white house tell us that today the president will deliver what's being billed as a pretty big address on this topic. but he's not expected to declare the more sweeping national health emergency. he's going to call this a public health emergency. his own opioid commission had declared -- had recommended that he use the bigger phrase on this one. nonetheless, though, george, experts are applauding it as something much needed. drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in this country and a majority of that relates to opioids. >> no question it's a national crisis. now to those highly anticipated documents

assassination. just moments away from being released, after president trump gave the green light. this story more than 50 years as you know in the making. our chief national correspondent tom llamas is at the national archives in washington. good morning, tom. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. at any moment the national archives just behind me is set to release those secret files for the first time surround the assassination of president kennedy. a moment in american history that fueled so much controversy and so many conspiracy theories. as you mentioned, it was more than 54 years ago when president kennedy rolled through dealey plaza in that lincoln continental with the top down making him a prime target fueling so many conspiracy theory, so the documents were set to get today are secret files that at one point the fbi and the cia deemed too sensitive to release, but now they have to be released by law. so what could be so secretive in those files?

lee harvey oswald and exactly what he was doing in mexico city about seven weeks before the assassination when he visited both the cuban and russian embassies in that city. so, why wouldn't they want these documents releasedy well, it could be what did those agent, what did those spy, what did those diplomats know? did anyone down in mexico know that oswald wanted to kill kennedy? did they hear him say that and if so why didn't they share that information before his trip to dallas? >> people will want to know to that. you keep referring to all those conspiracy theories so do you think we'll learn anything from these documents being released? >> reporter: robin, there are so many conspiracy theories from the second gunman in the grassy knoll to the involvement of the mafia and cuban government and one about a black umbrella with poisonous darts in dallas. the experts we spoke to don't think any of the documents are coming out and we're expecting tens of thousand, hundreds of thousands to be released will

fuel those theories or add to them. the national archives has been very, very careful in their language not to get anyone too excited. robin, get this. there are more than 5 million documents that make up that entire assassination record. >> 5 million. 5 million you said, tom. >> reporter: yeah. >> all but 1% have been reviewed by historians at some time or another but to have them widely available will get a lot of excitement going. >> it will. >> may after some of these conspiracy theories we'll see. now to a possible plot at a georgia high school where two teens are accused of planning a deadly attack. police say they wound weapons and a diary full of threats. steve osunsami has more. >> reporter: this is tough this morning for families in the suburb north of atlanta learning just how close they came to a major tragedy. >> obviously we want the parents to undertan that we -- deputy sherif

this very seriously. we don't want anything -- i can't even do this right now. >> reporter: what she ends up sharing two teenagers at etowah are being charged with attempted murder as they planned to set off an explosive targeting a list of teachers and students. >> i knew both of those kid. they both rode my bus. >> reporter: police arrested 17-year-old alfred dupree and victoria mccurley after investigators say they found dupree's personal diary spelling out the plans and a homemade bomb inside one of the teen's hopes. >> i don't know we have an actual motivation for what causes -- what we do with a lot of mental health issues and i think that may be the case here. >> it could have been terrible. it could have been very bad if they didn't get on top of it on time but they did. >> reporter: we're told this morning that the high school, of course, is across the street and told those two are appearing in court. neither of them have

plea. police say the real heroes are the students most likely who knew something was going on and called it in. robin. >> they said something. they saw something, felt something and did something. you're right about that, steve. to see the emotion from the sheriff like that. now the latest on the hurricane recovery effort in puerto rico. a new battle breaking out over a company that was awarded a contract to restore power. abc's gio benitez, you've got those detail. >> that's right. puerto rico's governor has formally called for a review of how that tiny company was awarded the contract. this as a twitter war breaks out between the company and the san juan mayor. overnight the tiny montana-based power company with the $300 million contract to restore power in puerto rico under fire once again. amid concerns that the company with just two full time employees was founded by a resident of whitefish, montana, hometown of interior secretary ryan zinke. san juan mayor

is calling for it to be voided setting off and online brawl which called her comments demoralizing and the mayor firing back asking if whitefish energy feels that asking for transparency is misplaced. what are they afraid we will find. that's when whitefish threatened to call off their repair efforts on the island still 75% without power. we have 44 linemen rebuilding power lines in your city and 40 more men just arrived. do you want us to send them back or keep working? and whitefish now apologizing for the exchange saying the comments did not represent who they are and how important this work is. the company also now criticizing the u.s. response calling it a disgusting chapter. >> okay, gio, thanks very much. there are new developments in last year's mysterious disappearance of sherri papini. she said she was held for weeks by two women, but new evidence raises questioning about that account and new sketches of possible suspects and a 911 call from the day she disappeared. our senior national correspondent matt gutman on t

>> i just got home from work and my wife wasn't there which is unusual. >> reporter: for the first time we're hearing the 911 call keith papini made nearly a year ago moments after discovering his wife van roished from their home sounding remarkably composed. he said he last heard from her. >> she sent me a text asking if i was coming home for lunch. i said, sorry, long day. >> reporter: it was november 2nd and told the dispatcher his 34-year-old wife had not picked up their kids from day care. >> i saw her phone with her headphones because she started running again and it's got hair ripped out of it so i'm freaking out somebody like grabbed her. >> reporter: but as the call goes on, keith begins to unravel. >> oh, my god. >> i understand you're freebing out a little bit. we want to make sure we get your kids. >> reporter: 22 day, not a trace, then on thanksgiving day

2016 sherri was found alive on the side of a highway hands in restraint long blond hair cut short. police say she was battered and bruised. >> female needs medical ascension. she is heavily battered. it is going to be some sort of an assault. >> reporter: in an interview last year, keith told me his wife was almost unrecognizable. keith, a couple of times, you said her face, her poor face. >> yeah. >> what did you see? >> the bruises were just intense. the bumps from, you know, being hit and kicked and whatever else. >> in a statement to abc news overnight, sherri papini told us, we are hopeful the release of additional information by law enforcement will expedite the capture of sherri's abductors but this morning, that new information released by the shasta county sheriff's office seems to cast doubt on papini's story. police revealing that in the days prior to her disappearance, sherri had been in an online texting relationship with a man

planning to meet up with him. that man has since been cleared by police and these newly released sketches depict the two women papini claimed were her sole abductors. but unidentified male dna was also found on her clothes. >> all right, thank you to matt gutman and for more now let's bring in abc's news chief legal analyst dan abrams, dan, it gets more confusing as we go. these details raise concerns. how does it affect the case? >> you've got to ask yourself why are the investigators releasing this information? why are they telling the public that she was involved in some texting relationship before this happened. why are they admitting that there was male dna found when she said there were only two women. that doesn't mean that they don't believe that she was abducted. it doesn't mean that they don't believe her story. but it does mean that they think there may be more to the story. and the more details they can get out potentially the better the tips that they can get so i think it's really important to

terms of what they're saying to say to yourself, huh. we've got the information, but we think there's more here. >> are they trying to put pressure on her? >> i don't know if it's pressure on her or just getting more information out there. but it's clear they don't think that they have the entire story from her. >> they're cooperating, though? >> sherri, in particular cooperating. keith totally been cleared so that's what makes it such a mystery. >> branding on the shoulder. >> how could -- someone wouldn't do it to themself, et cetera. so so many mysteries here. >> all right. want to talk about baseball? who stayed up and watched the game. >> i heard about it. >> you heard about it. >> all 11 innings? >> it did turn into a record-breaking night on the baseball field. the astros coming away with their first ever went in a world series beating the dodgers in the 11th inning and the number of home run, t.j. knows, he stayed up and made a little history there, t.j. >> yeah, this is one of the best baseball games you will ever see

i'm glad you got good sleep. what did you miss? last night? you missed drama heroics, the most home runs we've ever seen in a world series game and the guy being led away in handcuffees for jumping into the astros' bullpen. tenth inning, gonzalez. >> reporter: game two of the world series turned into the home run derby. >> is gone. >> reporter: the houston astros and l.a. dodgers combine for a world series record eight home runs. the astros went long in the ninth. >> it is gone. >> reporter: then jose altuve and carlos carrero hit back-to-back homers in the tenth to put the astros up by two runs but just when it seemed the astros were on the verge of winning the first world series game in their franchise history this happened. >> going to jail now. >> a fan jumped into the astros' bullpen creating a ruckus before getting hauled out by security. >> escorting somebody out of

here, i believe, john. >> yeah, somebody got into the pen. i don't know how that happened. >> reporter: a few minutes later the dodgers score the on this close play at the plate tying the game at five. >> by reddick. not in time. >> reporter: but before astros fans could worry too much if the bullpen fanatic would be their version of a baseball curse the astros still had one more homer in them. >> it is gone for a home run. >> reporter: george springer's game-winning two-run blast. >> struck him out and the astros win it, 7-6. >> that's why i love this team. there's no quit. >> no quit. >> no quit. >> now you want to be fired up, sleepy head. the series is now 1-1 going to games three, four and five in houston. houston has not lost in the playoffs in houston and could wrap it up, last night's game was one of the longest we have seen in world series history, went almost 4 1/2 hours. the game one was one of the shortest. >> because they wanted to -- >> 103

"baywatch," you probably paid the same piece for admission. but this morning, a movie movie theater giant is trying to change that in an industry trying to fill seats. regal is partnering with atom to test demand-based pricing and means you could pay to see more like "despicable me 3" or save a few bucks and see a less successful film like "mother". >> why don't you want kids. >> excuse me. >> reporter: atom tickets tells abc they believe moviegoers will see s more often when presented with flex financial flexibility. they're giving mixed reviews. >> a cheap price for a bad movie. >> cost less to go to a movie, then i would definitely go. >> keep it simple. charge your admission and let me decide if i want to see it or not. >> atom tickets is partly owned by our parent company disney and haven't said how it will work
