good morning, america. >> i believe that we will win. >> world cup fever sweeps the nation. >> yes, they lost the game today. but they won the battle. >> team usa makes it through to the knockout round in the world's biggest sporting event. set to take on belgium next. we're all believers now. superstar goalie tim howard joins us this morning. and my day with the president on air force one. watching team usa. and our frank conversation at a crucial moment in his presidency. are you failing by your own standards? and breaking overnight, "transformers" star, shia labeouf, in handcuffs. slapping people and yelling at the cast of a broadway show.

is this the latest fall from grace for the hollywood actor? and nanny nightmare. the caretaker this family just can't lose. they fired her. but she won't leave. even with court papers and a bike lock on the fridge. why won't she lock the door? happy friday to everyone. we have so much to talk about this morning. and look at this in central park. ready to rock with afrojack. and our special guest, sting. so many people are excited about all that. >> they have turned out. and so much of the country excited about team usa. escaping the round of death, despite that 1-0 loss to germany. look how twitter eshgs mroeded. watch that map right now.

>> whoa. >> bob woodruff right in the middle of it all, soccer fever in sao paulo. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is the sacker field where the united states came back. the united states did lose yesterday to germany. but the more important thing, to move us forward, we needed ghana to also lose at the same time to portugal. and that's exactly what happened. >> it is saturated. and look how slow the ball is rolling across it. >> reporter: in a grueling match, played in heavy rain, the united states won, without winning. >> yes, they lost the game today. but they won the battle. >> reporter: advancing to the knockout stage of the world cup thursday, despite losing to germany, 1-0. >> overall, i think it's just a fantastic achievement. >> reporter: germany, coming out fighting, right from the start. fresh after having one more day to rest than the americans. the relentless pressure, keeping the u.s. on their heels. >> oh, that's horrible.

>> reporter: u.s. midfielder jermainejones, colliding with a german, breaking his nose. the americans hung tough, until germany scored the lone goal of the match, 54 minutes into the game. the u.s. tried to tie up the score. >> we wanted to end the game on a better note. >> reporter: if ghana beat portugal in their game on thursday, the u.s. would have had less of a chance to advance to the next round. but with the store tied 1-1, cristiano ronaldo scores late in the game. that winning goal, saving the u.s., guaranteeing the americans move on to the next round. >> we did enough to advance. and now, here we are. we can start to dream. and hopefully we can make some upsets. >> usa. usa. >> reporter: american fans across the globe, glued to the tv. bars, restaurants, corporate conference rooms, even american military bases, happy their team

is on to the next round. >> i believe that we will win. >> we still go. woo. >> reporter: now, in the next couple of days, the u.s. will be heading back up to salvador, the beautiful town on the coast of brazil. they'll be playing against belgium on thursday. that's a team we played against a year ago. we lost, 4-2, the united states did. belgium is going to be a very, very tough team. robin? >> bob, thank you very much. i love the locations where people are watching. george was watching from air force one with the president. top that, everybody. top that. espn soccer analyst, alexi lalas joins us from rio. good morning, alexi. let's look forward to belgium. it's been so mentally and physically taxing. how do they prepare, team usa, for this next round? >> i think the physical part, you obviously do the things you need to do. you get the rest. and you get the hydration. the mental part, actually, i'm not worried about because this

is a whole, new tournament. now that you've gotten out of the groups. and by the way, gotten out of the group of death, anything can happen. you win, you go on. you lose, you go home. and they have incredible support they're feeling from back home. never have i been happier to be proven wrong. i didn't think this team was getting out of the group. but i believe the way that they did it, the different ways they played all three games was absolutely phenomenal. jurgen klinsmann and these 23 guys have been phenomenal in the way they've gotten out of this group. >> tell us about belgium. a lot of top players. who can we expect? >> well, look. belgium is this team where they've been talking about the golden generation. a lot of talk about players like pazard, these types of players that are coming into their own. this is a different type of situation for the u.s., where in the previous games that we've seen, they've been the underdog. i don't think they're the underdog. i don't think they should fear belgium. maybe that's not good. they've been good playing the

underdog role. on tuesday, they get to play against a very good belgium team, in the round of 16. if you had told me a month ago, this is where they would be, i wouldn't have believed you. but they are making a point of making me look stupid, which isn't that hard. and i can't wait to see what happens on tuesday. >> now, you believe. now, you believe. all right, alexi. thank you so much. >> now, i believe. >> we heard it here. we're going to talk to tim howard, just ahead. the knockout round begins tomorrow. two, big games right here on abc, starting at 11:30 a.m. eastern. team usa, playing on tuesday. now, let's get all of the news with amy. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with breaking news overnight from eastern arizona. mandatory evacuations being ordered, as this fast-moving wildfire explodes in size. the flames 100 acres to 3-square miles in a matter of hours. that fire broke out in a camping area not far from a village.

more than 100 stranded tourists and employees had to be airlifted out of alaska's denali national park because of extreme flooding and rockslides that blocked the only road out of the park. more than three inches of rain fell in just 24 hours. this morning, the biggest flood threat is along the upper mississippi river, where water is overtaking more roads, cutting off entire towns in minnesota. even triggering mudslides there. and they are bracing for more rain this weekend. ginger's forecast is coming up. president obama is shifting course on the war in syria. he is now asking congress for $500 million to train and arm the rebels fighting to overthrow the syrian regime. it would be a significant escalation of u.s. involvement in that conflict. it reflects growing fear that syria's civil war will further destabilize iraq, creating a terrorist breeding ground. and in southeastern texas, a natural gas line ruptured, sending this fireball shooting nearly 100 feet into the air. emergency crews managed to shut

down that gas line and the flames burned off on their own. one nearby driver was injured when running from his truck. a marine fighter pilot is describing the tense moments before he landed on an aircraft carrier without any front landing gear. captain william mahoney and the crew had to improvise. he hovered over the landing spot. they put a padded stool that was created just for an event like this, to accommodate that and let him land safely. he couldn't see a thing. take a listen. >> i can't see the stool. i didn't know it was there. i didn't see it coming over the end of the ship. i looked for it. i remember looking for it and thinking, oh, boy. this is going to get interesting. >> mahoney says he didn't realize how much he was shaking until he stepped out of the jet when he got a hero's welcome from his colleagues. he had to sit to remember how to turn the jet off. that's how nervous he was.

>> looked smooth. >> it bounced a little bit. if he couldn't see it, he sure nailed it. look at that. >> he stuck the landing. >> he sure did. >> he deserves a hero's welcome. we're going to turn to my exclusive interview with president obama. comes at a tough moment in his presidency, with crises at our border and overseas. we talked about that as he traveled to minnesota for the first of what he's calling day in the life visits across america. >> hello, minneapolis. >> reporter: the president's trip is one more move to break out of the white house bubble and convince the country he's working for people like rebecca eller, who he came to see after she wrote the president about her family's struggles. >> she's asking if i'm working really hard, can i find affordable child care? if i'm going back to school, why am i not eligible for tax credits to offset the tuition? and it breaks my heart sometimes to think that we can't get our act together enough to do that?

for us not to try, makes a mockery of our democracy. >> reporter: but will trips like this make a difference? obama blames republicans for not passing his proposals. now the public is blaming him. more than half of the americans have lost confidence in your ability to lead the country and get the job done. that must have been stunning to you. disappointing? >> i've been dealing with this since 2009. >> reporter: how do you turn it around? >> there's been a number of times when the punditry said, how do you turn it around? and what we do is stay focused on what matters. and chip away at it and try to make progress. people have health care. the economy has gotten a lot better. what i do worry about is that right now, we got a republican party that seems to only care about saying no to me. >> reporter: so, he's gone around congress, using the president's executive power and setting up a new high-stakes battle with republicans. you have speaker boehner talking

about suing you for executive actions he says has crossed the line. we elected a president. we didn't elect a monarch or king. >> he didn't specifically say what exactly he was objecting to. i'm not going to apologize for trying to do something while they're doing nothing. >> reporter: even if you get sued? >> you know, the suit is a stunt. but what i've told speaker boehner directly is, if you're really concerned about me taking too many executive actions, why don't you try getting something done through congress? the majority of american people want to see immigration reform done. we had a bipartisan bill through the senate. and you're going to squawk if i try to fix some parts of it administratively that are within my authority, while you are not doing anything? >> you mentioned immigration. there's a humanitarian crisis on the border. some of your critics say you need to speak out directly to

the people of central america and say, don't come. if you come, you will be deported. >> we've done that. the problem is, under current law, once the kids come across the border, there's a system in which we're supposed to process them, take care of them, until we can send them back. >> reporter: is your message don't come? >> our message is absolutely don't send your children, unaccompanied, on trains or through a bunch of smugglers. that's our direct message to families in central america. don't send your children to the borders. if they do make it, they'll get sent back. more importantly, they may not make it. >> reporter: let's talk about iraq. how serious is the i.s.i.s. threat to people in minnesota and around the country? i was struck by an article by ryan crocker, who served as eric ambassador under you. he said, this is global jihad. it's coming our way. they have 2,000 fighters with western passports. don't need a visa to get in. are we under serious threat

right now from i.s.i.s.? >> we've been under serious threat my entire presidency. and we were under serious threat predating 9/11, from those who embrace this ideology. >> reporter: but they're gaining strength, aren't they? >> they're gaining strength in some places. but we've also got a lot better at protecting ourselves. >> reporter: let me ask you a final question on foreign policy. it comes from "audacity of hope." and you said, without a well-articulated strategy, the public support and the world understands america will lack legitimacy and the power it needs to make the world safer that on it is today. americans don't support your path on foreign policy. are you failing by your own standard? >> you know, i know we go back to the polls. but throughout the first half of my presidency, the polls showed strong support for my policy. >> reporter: but the public has to support it, doesn't it?

>> not at every minute. not every week. there's times when the world is messy. one thing you realize during the course of five years is, if the problems were easy, somebody else would have solved them already. one of the great challenges of this job and one of the great privileges of this job is you're tackling stuff that is really tough. and i'm glad that after five years, i'm still here, able to do it. >> and later on, we're going to talk about getting the president's analysis of team usa. and how sasha and malia is growing and changing the white house. now, to an exclusive interview with peter rodger. the father of elliot rodger, who killed six and shot 13 in a rampage near u.c. santa barbara last month.

barbara walters is here. we've never heard from the parent of a shooter. >> this is the first time a parent of a shooter has sprooke out. we sat down with peter rodger. and he talked candidly about his struggles with his son, elliot. he thought his son might be suicidal. but he never thought he would be homicidal. and by the way, he is the first parent to speak out on television. he feels it's his mission. so, we'll take a look. there have been numerous school shootings. none of the parents of other shooters have spoken with us. why did you decide that you would speak up? >> the only reason i'm here is to tell his story, to try and stop this happening again. >> how did you learn that your son was the shooter? >> i thought he was a victim. and it wasn't until 4:35 a.m.

that i found out by going on the internet that he was the main suspect. and there was only one killer. and when i saw that, it was like it's one's worst nightmare. i can't describe the feelings. >> mr. rodger, elliot was your son. and he is dead. how do you mourn a child whom others vilify? >> it's very hard, barbara. it's very, very hard. after reading the journal, i had a lot of anger for him. and i think my job, now, is to try to replace the anger with love and forgiveness. but at the same time, i'm haunted by this disease, this human being that changed and became something else. >> the father of adam lanza now says there's times he wishes his

son had never been born. do you ever feel that way? >> that's a really varied question. that's a loaded question, barbara. a part of me says yes. and the reason is because he did an awful lot of harm to young men and young women who didn't deserve to die. and my son did it. >> can you imagine what that feels like? >> also, i'm also thinking of the families who lost a loved one. >> that's right. so is he. >> so many people are -- warning signs, warning signs. wanting to know if there were warning signs? >> that's the big question. the son was an introvert. he didn't have friends. he didn't have girlfriends. he had a lot of problems. he was afraid his son might kill

himself. but it never occurred to him that his son would want to kill others. and no matter what the warning signs, how do you know? >> how do you know? barbara, good to see you. we will see much more, all of barbara's interview, with peter rodger, tonight on "20/20," at 10:00, 9:00 central here on abc. for the latest on the storms in nebraska and where the flood willing be over the weekend, ginger is at central park. good morning, ginger. >> good morning to you, robin. i want to begin right away with the time lapse video overnight. something a lot of folks in the midwest do not want to see. that would be more rain. more thunderstorms. some of them heavy at times. grimes, iowa, had six inches of rain. more coming this weekend. some places are going to get one to three inches. locally, four and five. this is such bad news for the weekend. we'll have much more coming up. your local forecast coming in 30 seconds.

morning. >> reporter: rough morning tam, a tractor-trailer truck flipped over at 4:15, all southbound lanes are blocked. all southbound traffic out of wilmington is being forced on to 141 northbound. if you're coming off 295 off the delaware bridge, you can get by. use kirkwood highway and get i-95 southbound that way. there's a crash closing 452, use 322. platt bridge disabled vehicle and crash on the upside that's out of the way and the delay will be soon out of the way, tam. >> good to hear. let's look outside across center city. it's gray out there, you it doesn't feel -- out there, it does feel good.

good morning, america. i'm afrojack and we're about to take over central park. >> he has taken it over. take a look right now. everyone fired up for afrojack. amazing show coming up, performing with sting. and our bus is leaving times square. they're heading up to central park. going to be a great show in just a little bit. >> giving them a ride to the park. and also this morning, it is a story -- well, the nanny who will not leave. her family fired her, serving her with court papers. even locking the fridge. but they cannot get her out of the house. >> okay. we have an unusual and inspirational story coming up for you. this olympian running a race.

she's 8 1/2 months pregnant while she's doing it with her first child. i mean, her story is awesome. >> wow. >> that is incredible. also breaking overnight, actor shia labeouf's arrest. he was arrested for slapping people and yelling at the cast of a broadway show. and he kept going after he was booked. >> that's too bad. we're going to have the case of the 12-year-old detroit boy missing for 11 days and then found alive in his basement. nancy grace told the boy's father live on hln. we're going to go to that in a moment. first, linzie janis outside of the family home right now. good morning, linzie. >> good morning, george. young charlie is with his biological mother and said to be doing okay. his stepmother is waking up behind bars, the result of an unrelated case. and police say, they're investigating potential child

abuse. >> charlie, we're getting reports that your son has been found in your basement. sir? mr. bouthel, are you -- >> what? >> reporter: the moment, riveting, as nancy grace tells charlie bouthel that his son is alive. but this morning, authorities remain puzzled as to how and why the child got in the basement in the first place. and tells abc news, that charlie bouthel's father and stepmother are being considered persons of interest. young charlie was found wednesday, barricaded behind a 55-gallon barrel, which police say he couldn't have moved on his own. >> he indicated he was hungry. but he seemed to be nervous and excited. >> reporter: police are

examining a pvc pipe taken from the scene that had blood on it. and we learned that charlie was homeschooled and subjected to a strict exercise regimen. over night, charlie's stepmother was arrested on a probation violation on an unrelated charge. authorities taking her two, young children, ages 4 and 10 months, now in the care of child protective services. her husband, charlie's father, had made pleas to the media to find charlie. the last one, a stunning interview with nancy grace, in which he learned on live tv, that his son was found. >> sir? mr. bouthel are you -- >> reporter: later outside his home, he emotionally denied he and his wife were involved. >> i thought my son was dead. >> reporter: police say they searched the home four times before finding charlie. >> the dogs didn't react. we went through the entire home. >> reporter: but say the complex layout of the basement may be to

blame. this morning, police say they believe the stepmother had knowledge that charlie was in that basement and may have been hiding him. and another question. the uncle of that stepmother owns a condo just three doors down. reports that police were not made aware of that during their hunt for charlie. george? >> okay, linzie, thanks. let's talk to nancy grace about this. this is strange. you had the first stunning interview with the dad. you spoke to him again by phone. and that was tense. >> yes. as this unfolds, i now realize that the boy was hiding or being hid, for a reason. i still don't believe the father knew the boy was actually in the basement because why else would you contact the fbi and the police and go on the nancy grace show for a grilling if you knew the child was in your basement? however, i think there's much more to the story.

last night, when i spoke to the father, charlie bouthel iv, he stated he had talk to his son, when the son called his grandmother. the son did not call the father. i'm very disturbed right now because of the blood on the pvc piping in the home. clearly police are suggesting, this is because the child was beaten or abused. and a 4,000-step regimen a day on an elliptical? that's way over the line. >> how about the questions about the stepmother and the uncle? >> right. reports are emerging that the boy is saying the stepmother gave him food and helped him. but mr. bouthel told us off camera, right as we were getting ready to go on the air the other night, that his wife had sent him a text. and it was a picture of the

elliptical, saying charlie's not doing his chores. and he was going to have to deal with that. and what that means to me is, charlie did not do his 4,000 step regimen on the elliptical and ran away. and the father is going to have to deal with that. even saying the boy would have to go to military boarding school. >> nancy, what do you make of the fact that the police searched the home several times. they brought those cadaver dogs in. didn't find any sign of the boy. first of all, how is that possible? and how could he have been kept away and brought back with no one seeing him? >> it brings to mind other cases, like in the laci peterson case, where the dogs led the police to san francisco bay and they can't find the boy in the basement? maybe the boy wasn't in the basement. there's a long, interconnecting hallway among those town homes. and possibly, the boy was going

in and out of that hallway when the police would emerge. when he was last found, when he was ultimately found, there was fresh chicken, gatorade, soda and cereal down there. somebody was feeding the child. a whole chicken can't go missing out of your fridge and you don't notice. >> a lot more questions. nancy, thanks very much. let's go back to central park. ginger zee with the weather. >> here we go. afrojack has great fans. and we are having too much fun this morning already. we want to get to your fun beach forecast for an unsettled south. the gulf coast has been this way for days. and it will stay this way. what you're looking at would be water temperatures. 84 degrees there. atlantic city, if you're getting in the water, closing in on 70. south padre island. i just got hit in the head with a good balloon. and then, we got the fire danger, you can see, with the red flag warnings. 93 for albuquerque. we've seen the fires blow up. the gusty winds, 25 to some 40.

>> reporter: hey, ginger, meteorologist karen rogers, we'll have partly sin you -- sunny skies, high of 84. comfortable and spotty showers around later today. >> now, i've really done it to myself. i'm going to get hit with balloons all day. it's going to be fun. get out here. >> ginger has soccer fever. and coming up here, the live-in nanny refuses to move out. her family fired her. locked the fridge down. she won't leave. and team usa's superstar goalie, helping make believers out of everyone. we're going to talk to tim howard, just ahead. come con back.

7:42. we welcome you back. we turn to the live-in nanny who allegedly just won't move out of a house. a california family hired her to help with their three kids. now, the family says she refuses to work. and she also just won't leave. abc's ryan owens has the story. >> how do you like that one? >> reporter: snack time at this california home may look normal enough until -- >> i'm not going to let her eat my food. >> reporter: that's a bike lock to keep the nanny away. >> i'm a prisoner in my home.

>> reporter: for nearly a month, the bracamonte family says they're trying to get the nanny out of their house east of los angeles. but diane stretton refuses to leave, saying she's a legally protected tenet. did you have any idea it was so hard to kick somebody out of your house. >> i've seen it happen so many times. >> reporter: strengthen moved in march, after this craigslist ad seeking a nanny. the arrangement worked for a new months. but that's when mom says she quit helping around the house. and spent all day looked behind this door. if i want to see this room, you won't let me inside. >> we can't let you inside. by court and by law, this is her domain. >> reporter: stretton wouldn't return our calls. but watch what happened, as kcbs was rolling when the father served her with court papers.

the family has gone to court, demanding she leave. but the in an si is fighting back. and apparently she likes to sue. diane stretton's name is listed on dozens of civil lawsuits across southern california. >> i think that she actually spends her day trying to ruin people's lives. and misery loves company. >> reporter: they may be miserable for a while. the eviction process could take months. >> you feel victimized. >> reporter: until then, the bike lock stays on the fridge. for "good morning america," ryan owens, abc news, upland, california. >> it's scary. it's why you have to do your homework. >> it's crazy. >> a little background check never hurt anybody. >> i'm sure they learned that the hard way. >> i cannot believe the law is on the nanny's side on this. >> i agree with you, george. there has to be something. >> it's like they're being held hostage, in their own home. coming up, everybody, shia labeouf has been arrested

overnight and put in handcuffs after slapping people, yelling at the cast all at a broadway show. and tim howard, the superstar in goal for team usa. going to talk to him just ahead. love that beard. and we've got the party bus headed to central park. so much excitement for afrojack and special guest, sting. it's the sears 4th of july mattress spectacular up to 60% off, plus 10% off
