reveal this morning will impact every one of us here at home. the incredible live event only on "gma" this morning. and we do say, good morning, america, from here in times square and iceland this morning, much excitement for this unprecedented live event. i guarantee you are going to learn something new this morning and as you can see, amy is there, we're goioing to len something and it's also very cold, right, amy? >> that's right. robin, by far this is the coolest live shot i have ever been a part of literally and figuratively. we are standing in the middle of the melting glacier and scattered all throughout this glacier are massive vertical sinkholes that are treacherous going hundreds and thousands of feet into the earth where ice is melting faster and faster as water levels in the atlantic

now, behind me i have an intrepid group of ice climbers who are helping researchers gather data about that melting ice and how it affects all of us, all of our shorelines. we have amazing never before seen live event coming up in just a minute. cannot wait to bring it to you guys. >> unbelievable. >> looks like a green screen. it looks so unbelievable? >> another planet. >> really incredible. >> we'll have a lot more from iceland. we bin with breaking news overnight. north korea claims it has detonated a hydrogen bomb. if true, this would be a major breakthrough for the rogue state. it's already ratcheting up tension around the world, the u.n. security council calling an emergegency meetg and martha raddatz starts us off. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george. the u.s. immediately launched so-called nuclear sniffer planes to try to determine whether or not north korea's claims are true, but it could be weeks if not longer before we know for certain.

korean state media claiming that the tremors which caused a 5.1 magnitude earthquake in the northeast part of the country were the result of north korea's first successful test of a hydrogen bomb. those are far more sophisticated and about a thousand times more powerful than atomic bombs like those dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki in world war ii. there has been no confirmation and lots of skepticism, but it raises immediate concern about north korea's nuclear program. earning condemnation from countries around the world, including north korea's friend, china. this would be the country's fourth time e testing nuclear weapon since 2006 but it would be the first time testing a thermonuclear weapon. there is as we noted a lot of skepticism as to whether this was a hydrogen bomb because the initial size and scale of the

the past but, george, no one wants to rule it out just yet. > not at l and the north koreans saying a miniature hydrogen bomb. what can the world do about this? >> north korea's already so see what else they can do and is a hydrogen bomb or any kind of nuclear test, those sanctions and the condemnation clearly have not worked, george. very much. startling to wake up to that news this mornin now to those powerful storms slamming the west coast. a series of them moving in, one each day triggering torrential downpours and flooding in california. and abc's indra petersons is in glendora, california, this morning. good morning, indra. >> good morning. with rain or drought conditions, rain should be a welcome sight but with el nino many think it's too much too fast. overnight a west coast washout.

>> reporter: el nino-fueled rains drenching california where roads became rivers proving fun for some but dangerous for others. floodwaters invading backyards. >> whado you got in your yard? >> reporter: parking garages, and this restaurant. a roof collapsing at a san diego hotel, muddy waters full of debris trapping many commurs in their cars. take a look at the street. it is lined with concrete barrieiers. you would be looking at this to line a freeway instead it is lining this residential street because the hillside is bear and only a quarter inch of rain in 15 minutes to bring a flow down the street. yesterday they saw so much mud. today they already added some walls here to fend off the heavy rain expected this afternoon. robin.

rob, those storms as we just >> really, robin. we haven't seen a series of storms like this in a week for over five years in california. this is serious business.. up through at least tonight for several more pulses. here comes the front, heavy rain from san francisco to los angeles and another pulse coming through tonight and tomorrow morning. locally up to 5 inches of rainfall and another one coming in behind that. snow, of course, at the higher elevations but with another storm coming this weekend and really in january this is when el nino storms start to hit california and we are just beginning this onslaught. george, back over to you. >> thanks. we move on to the battle over gun control right now and those tears from president obama during his passionate pitch for new action yesterday. and from every family who never imagined that their loved

lives by a bullet from a gun -- >> pierre thomas in washington. pierre, the president's anger and emotions so palpable yesterday. but the opponents of his new executive action are putting up a fierce fight too. >> reporter: good morning, george. the presidt clear impacted by the daily carnage in places like chicago d all those mass shootings especially newtown, tears flowing as he announced a series of actions from increasing the number of firearm sellers at gun shows who must register with the federal government and do background checks to better tracking of guns lost in shiing and asking congress for a half billion dollars to expand mental health treatment but reaction from the nra and the gop was fast and as you said furious. >> he's obsessed with undermining the second amendment and burdening -- >> reporter: any major bipartisan movement is unlikely. i was struck by all those family, some of whom told me they are in this fightht for the very long haul. >> yeah, they say they want to lead a movement. okay, pierre, thanks very much.

tuesday. also last night donald trump continued to take aim at bill clinton. hillary clinn refusing to respond directly to the gop front-runner's attacksks and abc cecilia vega is here with the last on that. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: rob and george, good morning to you. a new attack line from donald trump with those iowa caucuses right around the corner. it is all on the line right nonow. it hasas become nald trump's go-to attack line in 2016 and this morning, he is back at it. the gop front-runn not mincing any words when it comes to bill clinton's past. >> don't forget he lost his law license. he wasn't allowed -- he was impeached. the's a lot of things going on there and she calls me sexist. >> reporter: overnight in new hampshire, trump's eye still on that target. >> the one person that hillary does not want to run against is donald trump, believe me and bill doesn't want it either. >> reporter: hillary clinton

resolution to not respond. >> we should not reward people who use inflammatory rhetoric who use the kind of derogatory comments. that is not a sign of leadership. that's a sign of, you know, showmanship. >> reporter: the race for the white house heated on all sides. and standing directly in clinton's path, vermont senator bernie sanders. yesterday in iowa she did not hold back. >> i'm a progressive who likes to get things done and i will get into that white house, i don't need a tour. i know right where the oval office is. i know right how to get things done. >> reporter: yeah, clinton had another jab for sanders also asking those iowa voters to not just take into consideration things like experience and qualifations when choosing a president but also their electability and brings in the big n today bill clinton hitting the trail in iowa for his first solo campaign trip there, george. >> okay, cecilia and bernie here now. candide. i want to get to that argument from hillary clinton in a second.

from north korea. another nuclear test, perhaps a hydrogen bomb, if you were in the oval office what would you do about it? >> first of all we'll have to lean on china. china is north korea's closest ally. they'll have to push north korea to start adhering to international agreements. >> how do we lean on china? >> china, we have a relatitionship. china is equally concerned about what north korea is doing. north korea is a paranoid isolated nation. they are -- when you have a hydrogen bomb, if that's true, you are a threat to china, as well. >> how about this argument from hillary clinton clearly believes that she can make the pitch she's far more electable than you are. >> i would suguggest sectary clinton look at the last quinnipiac poll which has me leading trump by a significantly higher margin than she does and that's true of other poll, as well, look, two things, number one i believe that our campaign is generating the kind of grassroots excitement that will

turnout to win. i think we can do that. second of alall, f aariety of reasons i think we can do better against trump or other republicans than can secretary clinton. >> what's the number one reason? >> the number one reason i think is that the issues that we are talking about, the disappearing middle class, massive levels of income and wealth inequality and e fact that wall street's greed has had a huge impact on the lives of millions of people, people want leadership now to stand up to the e big mone interests, protect working people, that's what i've done my whole life. >> sececretary cnton says her plans to take on wall street are tougher than yours. >> actually they are not. we're talking about breaking up the large financial institutions, so that the middle class of this country will not again have to bail them out. we're talking about the reality that when you have a handful of banks, half a dozen banks that have assets equivalent to 60% of the gdp of america. that's dangerous to our economy and political life. you have to break them up and

legislation. that is not secretary clinton's position. >> a lot of experts said that's not fundamentally at the core of what the problem is but i -- >> i disagree with that. that is exactly what the core is. >> so many were created by the banks that weren't under glass-steagall. >> they were funded by the large financial institutions. >> you've also said that you're set that the leaders of those financial institutions, some did not go to jail. can you point to any one that there was evidence they committed a crime. >> since 2009, large financial institutions have paid over $200 billioin fines. now, if you're paying $200 billion in fines for illegal activity and reaching settlements with the government, you tell me if there was not culpability. >> can you name an individual? >> give you one example, wachovia, which was later bought by wells fargo, was convicted of laundering mexican drug momoney. what do you think? you think somebody might be

$200 billion in fines. nobody prosecuted. i think what you havis a situation where banks are not only too big to fail, bankers are too big to jail. >> 3 1/2 weeks away from iowa. do you think you'll win? >> we got a great shot. there's a lot of enthusiasm. we're bringing out big crowds. >> senator sanders, thanks for joining us this morning. >> we appreciate the candidates continuing to come to our studios. we turn to ethan couch, new details this morning about the so-called affluenza teen's wild night while on the run in mexico with his mother as she gets ready to head back to texas to face charges after her day in court. abc's matt gutman has the latest. >> reporter: there's a first words we've heard from tonya coh -- >> yes, i do. >> reporter: the mother of the so-called affluenza teen since she and her son ethan took off for mexico. >> are you the tonya couch that is wanted d by the ste of texas? >> yes. >> reporter: the suburban mom with the red rininglets moly obscured behind the bars accepting extradition to texas.

commititted no cme. >> h how wouldou describe her? >> her two main concerns remain about her son, ethan and how he is doing in mexico and her dog virgil. >> reporter: her son is in a mexican detention center where he met his attorney r the first time tuesday. >> we had a chance to confer but i'm nonot at libty to disclose what we talked about. >> reporter: ethan is ghting deportation to texas where authorities hope to charge him with violating probation and tonya with hindering his apprehension. the boy's whose legal team cried affluenza during his drunk driving trial in 2013 may have caught another case of it while on the run in mexico, staff at this puerto vallarta strip joint telling abc news he spent at least one night here. employees telling us he was not alone. his mother went with him. employees say she left and he stayed drinking heavily going into a vip room with two female employees. staffers tell us he got staggeringly drunk, racked up a

eliquis may increase your bleing risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procures. i accept i don't have to set records. but i'm still going for my personal best. and for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke plus less major bleeding. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. lowe's presents "how to be good at math". how much money do you think we saved today?

reported argument. now two people are accused of murder and two young children orphaned. she is a fmer model. her father a former fbi agent. and this morning, both are charged with murdering her husband. police say molly martens corbett and tom martens killed jason corbett. in his home last summer. tom called 9/11 at 3:00 a.m. on august 2 saying his irish son-in-law was dead. there had been an argument and he struck corbett with a baseball bat. now after months of investigation, the district attorney is charging them with second degree murder and voluntary manslaughter. >> they committed a homicide that caused the death of mr. corbett. >> reporter: but lawyers for the father and daughter say it was self-defense. >> he was the one that called 911. tom tried to revive jason. he's trained in law enforcement and there would be no reason for

with that except to protect himself and his daughter. >> reporter: molly martens met jason corbett, a widower in irelanand in00when she served as the family au pair taking care of his two young children. in 2011, the couple married and moved to america. immediately after her husband's death, martens made several attempts to gain custody of his children. but a judge handing th over to corbett's family. at the time, martens lashing out on facebook posting notes given to her by the children who called her mom and writing, it is unbearable think of people purposely teaching to you hate the mother that has raised, nurtured and loved you for as long as you could remember. both molly and tom martens are out on bl. due back in court later on this month and are expected to plead not guilty. if convicted they could face up to life in prison. >> what a story. >> poor kids. >> thank you. now to the anger over that

>> kt doing it over and over. i felt very uncomfortable. i felt like screaming. >> reporter: payne plans on filing a complaint with the help of congressman scott peters. a spokesperson for the tsa telling "good morning america" that screening procedures allow for the pat-down of a child under certain cicircumstans. the process by which the child was patted down followed approved procedures. the tsa also stating that the child's bag contained a cell phone that alarmed requiring additional resolution procedures. for "good morning america," the tsa has modified their screening policies in the last few years to reduce the likelihood of a pat-down for children so kids under 12 can leave on their shoes and a light jacket and like u saw on that video they won't be separated from their parents but clearly that's not enough for payne who alsoointed out that his daughter's pat-down lasted nearly two minutes. >> the tsa is in a tough position. you know, they're there to protect us and something like

you have young daughters. i mean, how would you feel if you saw that. >> you know what, i i think i would be okay with it because i'd rather err on the side of caution instead of, you know, people could use a child to get things through the tsa so i think that's where theard part for the tsa comes in. where you draw the line? that's the point of the tsa. they don't want to let anything get through and the point of the parent wants to protect his children. he handled it well. in the end you hear him thanking the tsa for doing their job. all this time i thought the hardest part of those capri suns were getting the straw in. >> who knew? bubut it's bn very livively, the discussion on social media. >> yes. >> about this. good to have you here on the west coast. >> thank you so much for havaving me. >> coming up, the fbi joins the sesearch rig now for a serial jewel thief caught on camera robbing multiple stores. how she made off with what could be millions of dollars in jewels. that epic trip into the ice

climbers who will be descending to the bottom of that massive sinkhole and it's important stuff because -- hi. it's important to know because what they find down there is helping scientiststs save plet earth. just call them glacial lifesavers, known as icesar, icelandic association for search and rescue, they are an elite unit comprised of volunteers. experienced ice climbers and true masters of this forbidding terraiain, they ain on icescapes like this. then descend into the depths of the coldt climbs. braving perilous weather conditions. to reach people trapped in the most intimidating places on the landscapes. guguides on e ice, they've counciled hollywood totoo from "interstellar" and "game of thrones." we join them right into the

doctors but cassandra says test results came up empty. >> i was so mad that nobody could help m. it was just upsetting. he felt so alone. >> reporter: she says michael did not die in vain. >> letting people knonow that this disease is out there. you don't know how many hits or how many concussions away you are from getting a disease like this, that's what is so scary. it could happen to anyone. >> reporter: for "good morning america," ryan smith, abc news, new york. our thanks to ryan for that. finally, a heart felt tribute this morning tour friend and colleague stuart scott. the espspn ahor died one year ago at age 49 following his fight with cancer. his daughters releasing this video reflecting on the last year. they say their dad taught them to find the fight we all possess inside of us and say throu their dad's vulnerability he tog them the value of strength and never giving up. robin, i know you re friends with him. i neverot to meet him. he sounded like such a wonderful guy.

surprise socially that single moms are really getting hit the hardest here. >> and you have always cautioned about prescription sleep aids. so what is your prescription to getting more sleep. >> listen, we cou talk about this for an entire hour but first thing is we have to remember make sleep a priority. if you don't commit to that in terms of your health trust me, things will suffer and fall like domino effect after that. the second thing i say is we have to drop the guilt. no ones going to die if the dishwasher is not loaded or unloaded before we go to sleep so whatever doesn't get done by the time we need to shut it down, it doesn't get done. we don't need any mor guilt and try not to self-medicate. whether that's with alcohol, over the counter prescription aids, these things can work in the short term but in the long term really not good and if you have questions talk to your doctor or pharmacist about it d lastly -- >> meditation. >> you got it, rl. >> i just started that last year. mas the difference. >> i do it too. i will tell you 20 minutes a

drones and follow our ice climbers as they head into t abyss, live from the land of fire and ice. >> oh, my gosh. >> we brought you fire. >> we're just gettingng inside that crater. >> the first er live drone camera over an active volcano. now we're bringing you ice. the immense forbidding ice sheets of iceland home to a hidden world ofrystal clear ice caves, glistening glaciers and dangerous crevasses constantly changing. gearing up for this treacherous journey has been a multiday expedition. perfectly safe? >> yeah. >> he hesitated. >> reporter: f first tryg my hand on the ice, then by car and foot, our team trekking nearly a mile through water, rocks and ice all in arctic temperatures. the landscape, dazzling, dangerous and disappearing fast. losing an average of 11 billion

satellite picture taken in 1986 and this one 28 years later iceland is melting at a rate of a foot per day and that water has to go somewhere. >> when you're talking about changing sea level you're talking about impacting the tremendous population around the world. >> reporter: incding miami's coastline, those waters already climbing an inch a year. and take a look at this. if sea levels keep rising, in two centuries scientists warn that city could completely uer water, charleston, too, evenn new york. so this morning we're plugging far below the surface of the ice in a never bore attempted live event going deep into this glacier vatnajull, the front lines of climate change taking you inside a glacial sinkhole a a massive drainpipe for melting ice that can be thousands of feet deep for a firsthand look at this vanishing inging perilous land landscape a hidden world inside the ice.

glacier expert from vanderbilt university. he'll be walking us through what our ice climbers see as they go into that massive ice tunnel so let's send the on their way, all right. hey, guys, go for it. ahead a start ice climbing. all right. so the guys are just now starting their descent right now. tell me, dan, what researchers hope to find when they get to the bottom and see what is at the bottom of sinkholes like this one. >> these kind of vertical caves give us a real cross secti into the glaciero you can tell how the glacierer has been flowing and how compressed the ice is, what it's carryining wh it and you can't do that unless you get in there and get to see it yourself. >> as they start to go down we seehese bands of dark. what is that that we're looking at in the ice? >> so, that's the debris that the glacier is carrying with it. some is ash from the volcanoes that erupt and deposit ash on top of the glacier and some is probably debris from the base of the glacier that's also scraping up and bringing along with it too. >> how snificant is the

in terms of contributions to the rising sea levels we see across the atlantic and other oceans. >> yeah, i mean what's melting here gets into the ocean and contributes to sea level rise that we see in the east coast of the u.s. right now. >> how fast is this glacier, the vatnajokull glacier melting? >> yeah, so right now it's actually retrereating at about 300 feet every ye. so it's going almost a foot a day that it's retreating back but it's also thinning and lowering at about 100 feet a year right now. >> all right. >> it's retreating and thinning. >> as we watch our climbers descend into this tunnel, this ice cave, how and why do these form in the first place? >> yeah, these are melt water pondnds that form on top of the glacier from warm ds and actually cloudy days sometimes too and those ponds suddenly drain through cracks in the vertical tunnels. >> all right. we also want to say as we're watching these incredible

how do they measure -- you mention numberings, how fast these glaciers are melting. how do they measure that. >> yeah, here in iceland actually there is a long tradition of icendic people monitoring and marking where the glacier used to be for actually hundreds of years they've been doing that. now we can do some with satellite technology and we're doing it with drones now. >> right and how do scientists use these drones for their research? what do these drones show them that we couldn't have otherwise seen. >> right, drones are really sorting cutting edge technology for scientists. they give us access to places we otherwise couldn't get to and able to monitor things closely on a daily basis that way and what's amazing is they give us realtime and 3d information about how earth's fast is changing. >> and do you know what the bottom looks like as we're watching this incredible video of our climbers? i mean this iseally remarkable watching them scale this massive ice wall. it takes tremendous skill,

to get to the bottom, what do you expect they'll see when they get down there and what will we awe seal? >> thiis one of the most interesting and least known parts of glacier resech. how does water help lubricate i to flow faster. >> we're looking at melting ice literally. > yeah. this is all melted ice that drained out tough this cavern system,, got tohe base of the glacier and probably helped him flow faster and thin and end up in the sea. >> incredible and, george, you have a question. >> i wanted to ask dan, first of all, such a stunning sight but have we ever seenn melting like this before in other periods of history or is this all brand new? >> have we ever seen, george wants to know periods of melting like this in history or is this the first of its kind that we know of. >> yeah, so throughout geologic time and certainly for theast 2 million years we've gone througharm periods but what we're seeing is a real rapid

and melting that we're seeing and that's related to human induced climate change. >> now, robin, you have a question. >> i do. could you ask dan how does this compare, what we're seeing here, other places in the world, greenland, other places that are -- have glaciers. >> dan, robin wantso know how -- what wre seeing here, this melting, h does it compare to other glaciers around the world, say, in greenland or in other areas you've studied antarctica, as well. >> this is somethihing we're seeing particularly in greenland, lo. melting on the surface and melting at the base of greenland, as well. there was discuss a few papers that came out sayingasically new floodgate has been released in greenlandd and we're melting a lot more there. parts of antarctica are deaf increasing their rates too so this is something we're seeing globally. it's not just something we're seeing in little pockets here and there allll over the world we're seeing glaciers retreat at pretty alarming rates. >> melting at the basic same rate? >> yeah, the rates are -- it

glacier is flowing but this is pretty comparable. it can be a little slower innant ka because it's a little colder. >> this is just remarkable as we're looking at this. looks like the climbers have made it to the bottom of this massive ice tunnel and i've got my radio here so let's see what they're seeing or hear what it was like for them. good momorning, guys. i want to check in with you. this is amy again. you madet to the bottom? >> that's right. standing at the bottom. it's awesome. >> he said it's awesome. so tl me what you're seeing. >> he's seeing a drone. >> hey, climbers, tale ersclimbers, tell me what you're seeing. describe what you're looking at. >> everything is awesome. >> he went ahead with --

i can tell you one thing, i have a challenging climb in front of me. >> yes, he does. >> a challenging climb ahead. >> everything is awesome and, yes, that's right. so it was very quick as we noticed for thoselimbers too come down the descent. now getting back up is going to take a lot longer, so it's quite a tremendous effort for them to get back up and so we're going to let them hd back up and let's send one of our drones over to an active ice melt that is actuay happening right now and, dan, while we send that drone over in that direction, you have some rare fossisils to show us and the tell us something about climate change, yes? i know we have these hea gloves on and have to dig into the bag here. but we can learn a lot from what's around us. >> what's amazing about these is these are gasp tropod fossils

glacier carved up and deposited. these are about 5,000 to 7,000 years old but fossils that only live in warm saltwater so we know that 11,000 yrs ago there was no ice here, the ocean was much warmer andhese warm gastropod lived in a shallow sea. >> incredible. >> since then the glaciers readvanced and havave gotten bigger and scraped them back up and deposited them for us to find. >> as we send our drone over there to the massive melting over at this glglacier, tl us where this water is all headed. where this melting ice is going. it has to go somewhere, as you said if we can actually see it forming in t the river down here and will end up at the coast a few mys down there and it will end up all in the ocean and contribus to sea level rise there. >> when you talk about contribute to sea level rise, how much? at what rate is it contributing to the rising seawawaters tha are impacting the very shores of the united states.

seeing sort of in places like miami might be an inch of sea level rise every year over there. what's coming out of this glacier right here, the way to sort of visualize it, imagine a tanker for a cargo ship. 2,000 of those are coming out every hour from this gcier that is melting out and that's what's been going on here so there's a lot of meltt water comingng out. >> the big question is how do we stop? >> that's the big question. what do we do to mitigate and adapt and be resilient to climate change. >> and glacier scientists such as yourself, is this the question that you're trying to tackle to figure outow to help the world protect itself from itself? >> yeah, so i'm really interested in how glaciers change size over time, how quickly do they retreat so i study how they have changed in the past to give us a sense of is it going to go back slowly, quickly, will it take a giant step all at once. how will it happen. >> dan morgan, we're glad you're by our side through this process.

their way bk up to the top of that massive ice tunnel. we will check back in with them in just a bit. in the meantime, let's head back to you in times square. >> thank you, amy. thank you, dan. the whole team. >> we learned so much. >> we talk about global warping all the time but to have a picture to sort of put it -- >> you couldn't take your eyes off the screen. >> showing those fossils tell you how much the earth c changes but not this fast. that's what's alarming with the warming here. you know, in sympathy of amy being out there, i'm going to go outside without a at. it's about 27 degrees outside but 2015 the warmest year on record, in fact, pt due to el nino but new york has been very warm. we got a hearty bunch here.

ad >> they're excited. got some honeymooners in new york city. you went to the warm climate. >> oh, yeah, came from florida. >> beautiful. back to you guys inside. >> all right. rob, thanks very much. >> love him. stay with us. we go back inside the heart of that glacier live in iceland elias johnson...

and welcome back to "gma" and look at that view in iceland. there it is. there's the glacier. the sinkhole. our climbers down at the bottom right now. this is all happening live in iceland d this morng. amy is there. >> yep, e's got -- >> that's right, george. good morning, everyone, and i just want to let you know that this took an incredible effort and i just want to givprops to this incredible team who is here with me. they were here long before i got here. just to set up this shot on this glacier on the vatnajokull glacier. it took three solid days. they had to lay 4,000 feet of cable from our satellite dish and trek in 45 minutes with all of their equipment up to thi glacier to get here and to make this incredible stunning visual for all of you and also want to give props to dji, they have these incredible drones that

footage of this treacherous, incredible ice tunnethat we watched those climbers go down and now climback up in and so if it weren't for all of these efforts braving arctic temperatures, no less, with about four to five hours of sunlight each day,y, all to ing you an incredible live event. i hope you all learn something and i hope you were all as impressed with this natural beauty as we have been. >> oh, gosh, we're in awawe and what are you doing, lara? lara is taking pictures of you. >> it's unbelievable. >> taking a selfie. >> the pictures are so unbelievable. i've never seen anything like it on tv. i want to send it to amy and show her how great it looks. >> amy, thank you, thank you, thank you. please thank the entire team that's there with you and you're right, it takes a village. [ applause ] we appreciate it. >> robin says thank you. >> and you know what, also a

we do a lot of stories on drones but this one is actually how drones can be used to be helpful and education. >> also, guys, if you have kids, ere are so many questions about global warming and these pictures help. talk to your kids about it. find solutions. it is real and it is happening. >> come on home, amy. comen home safe and sound. get warm here. thank you. now we are going to change gears a little bit and we're going to talk babout jada pinkett smith's son jaden and will smith's son, headlines with a new look. he's sporting a skirt for louis vuitton's new women's campaign and deborah roberts, that's the reason that you are here. a lot of people are talking about this and a lot of positive reaction to it. >> a lot of positive but also some mixed reaction. if you know anything about jaden you kn he is no stranger to edgy, provocative statements on social media or with his appearance. but this newest campaign has the fashion world buzzzzing. the karate kid growing up and

world. this morning, the newest face of louis vuitton's wowoman's li. yes, that's right. jaden smith is styling in ladies fashion with this post on his instagram. thank you so much at louis vuitton and at nicholas ghesquiere for the opportunity to impact this world. >> we are seeing an evolution and we're also seeing fashion do what fashion loves to do, which is to play with our expectations, to tug on our prejudices and to surprise us. >> reporter: in a press release the company saying jaden represents a genation that has assimilated the codes of true freedom, wring a skirt comes as naturally to him as it would to a woman. the 17-year-old is known for stretching fashion boundaries from rocking dress-like outfits to dressing up as batman for the prom. his dad will smith telling ellen degeneres how he and wife jada support all their children's

>> we decided a long time ago at it's sort of better to flow with what people are naturally more than like what our egos need them to be. >> reporter: jaden telling gq in june, i'm just expressing how i feel inside which is really no particularly way because every day it changes how i feel about the world and myself. but social media is quick to change. there have been a lot of positive comments but overnight as the ad campaign was being widely reviewed, negative reactions began to seem in with people angrily reacting to the campaign, some saying they're perplexed wondering what the i have to say this whole gender bending world d is here stay. in london in one store they've taken away men's and women's clothes so i think that'going to be here for awhile. about is this, doing something provocive that will bring attentntion to t brandnd. >> a discussion. >> i just hope our producers n't get any ideas.

the southwest facing beaches so beach erosion and maybe some damage there going forward. rain across parts of the south creeping up towards chicago later today. >> jumping helps. all right. this weathercast is brought to you by weight watchers. geor, we're going to toss it back in to you. i know lara has her tailgating food, which probably is not on the weight watchers menu. >> yeah, that's ming up in a little bit. but you're in the lead right now, rob. i'm here with felicity huffman. she's from abc's "american crime." the show kicks off a new season tonight. felicity plays the headmistress at a school dealinwith a sexual assault scandal. take a look. >> there were parts of the story the accuser wasn't particularly specific about.

beyond some bad judgment. >> i'll bring them in and talk to them. >> talk to all your players together, avoid any of them feeling singled out. that would be my suggestion. if there is anything, bring it to mattention. if there's nothing -- >> oh, we'll find that out real fast. >> well, then that's the end of it. >> and felicity joins us now. i love this idea, brand-new season, brand-new story line, brand-new characters. >> brand-new characters and some of the same actors and some new actors coming on. we had a brilliant -- several brilliant young actors, and it's great toto work thsame people because you trust them and know their excellence and it's great t to have w actors come in and inspire us. >> tell us about what you'll be digging into. >> this season, i think, is a little more accessible, a little more palatable because i think it's more personal. it's about family, it's about community, it's about education, sexual orientation, socioeconomic differences but ultimately gets down to families and about our kids and how do we best serve them and represent th and take care of them. >> yeah, i can't wait to watch

so you're going to be going inside two high schools. i ha a 13-year-old about to head into that phase and we all feel so vulnerable. >> you do. it's a private school that i'm the headmistress of in the story and then there's a pubc school that elvis nolasc is the principal of. it's each space and how do you best serve the community and how do you best serve your children and the issues of, you know, the online space in an obvious way that everything is immediate. everything is very public and yet it's also very private. you are shielded from your actions because everybody is anonymous online. >> that is the problem. you're not anonymous online. you've got this website. what the flick. what is that? >> what e flicka. flicka is my nickname. it's what i grew up with and i had this great group of moms from "desperate housewives" because i was the mom. and when "desperate" ended, i

started a website, whattheflicka.com and it was was a funny irreverent look at motherhood which i find very difficult and baffling and so i wanted to have a space where it was totally free and open and accepting of however you found motherhood. >> you've been nominated to are a golden globe for "american crime" last season. we have to go back into the vault because of this. 202012, you d your husband at the golden globes. >> oh, no. don't be humiliated because you all did a terrificob it's an honor to be nominated blah blah blah blah blah >> how do you top it this year? >> oh, bill macy, come on. he's so fantastic. he just makes up these little ditties on his ukulele. i don't know how you top that. i ththink it' only -- i'm'm going to work my way down the ladder from that. >> good ck this weekend and congratulations to bill. he was so great in that moe "roo" such a powerful movie. >> wasn't he great? i hope everybody watches tonight, "americanrime," it's great.
