7:03 am
the midwest as been pummeled by rainstorms. overnight, the march of torrential rainstorms so strong. >> oh, my god. it rolled right over that guy. >> reporter: combined with 80-mile-per-hour winds, blew this tarp on top of the ground crew at a baseball game in cedar rapids, iowa, leaving three with concussions. tornado warnings issued in plain field, illinois. look closely. you can see debris flying through the air. heavy rains across the midwest, from chicago to michigan. watch as blinding conditions almost get the best of even the most experienced storm chasers. storms took out power lines in bevington, iowa, flipping this semi. live power lines setting fires as they came sparking down. while chicago was lit up. lightning striking several skyscrapers all at once. back in cedar rapids, 17-year-old logan blake was sucked by rushing currents down this storm drain next to a

neighborhood school where he had gone to play frizz we've with friends. one of logan's friends tried to rescue him and got swept away, too. carried deep into sewage drains underneath the city. that friend came out injured but alive, a mile and a half away. but logan is still missing. >> we got high hopes. he's a strong kid. very athletic kid. and he's got a strong will. we have all the faith in the world. >> reporter: this morning in chicago, 350,000 are without power. and here in cedar rapids, search teams plan on going back into these storm drains to search for that missing teen. but only if the water level is low enough to be safe. david? >> what a terrible story there. clayton, thank you. now, to the tropical weather threatening to soak so many this week as we head into the fourth of july weekend. the first tropical storm of the season expected to form today just off the coast of florida. ginger has the new track coming in. >> i'm hearing from a lot of people. we're on vacation in florida, what's going to happen? you're on tropical storm watch, if you're anywhere from

ft. pierce to daytona beach. this is in the next 48 hours. this is happening relatively quickly here. you will see rain, up to four inches. and flash flooding is possible. wind over 40 miles per hour. and don't go in the ocean if you're not in the right place because you'll see rip currents. that's what we're really concerned about as this depression becomes a storm and potentially our first hurricane of the year. it tracks right up the east coast. thursday night, the outer banks of north carolina, rip currents, winds and clouds spilling off it for parts of the east. this is a big issue going into the holiday weekend. we'll be tracking it the whole time, amy. >> we know you will, ginger. thanks so much. now, to the world cup and the big game that's just a few hours away. team usa versus belgium in the knockout match. and the americans are getting a big boost. paula faris is in salvador where the game will be played. >> reporter: that's right. jozy altidore cleared to play. these guys -- [ cheers ] -- to play.
7:06 am
just hours from now, it's do or die for team usa in this afternoon's game against belgium. star striker jozy altidore is back and ready to play, after suffering a hamstring injury two weeks ago in team usa's opening game of the world cup. >> he's available. and this is what we want. this is what we hoped for. just having him with us is huge. >> reporter: getting past belgium will not be easy. they've only given up one goal in the entire tournament. but the belgians might not be at full strength without key defenders. possibly out of today's game due to injury. >> yeah. they're a really good team. a lot of quality. they move the ball well. >> reporter: and the outcome of the game isn't the only thing team usa is worried about. the algerian referee assigned to the match, sparking concerns of possible bias.
7:07 am
the 2010 games, this goal team usa scored against algeria, knocked the rouef's country outf the world cup. >> we wish he continues his refereeing the perfect way he's done so far. is it a good feeling? no. >> reporter: if the u.s. wins, it will be the third time the americans have ever advanced to the quarterfinals. >> so hungry for more. we want to go as far as we possibly can in this competition. >> reporter: and if they win that next game, saturday noon eastern, right here on abc. we'll all be watching, right? >> that's right. >> reporter: david? >> she said behave on the backside of that story. you could tell after what happened on the way in. so excited, all of the fans. alexi lalas joins us from rio. good morning. the giant question here in america. jozy altidore is back. how much will he be used? is he ready? >> that's a tough one. when you talk about a hamstring,
7:08 am
in soccer or any other sport, you worry about putting a player in and starting him and when he plays at game speed, having it pop again. i wouldn't expect to be jozy altidore starting. maybe he can play a part later on. he's an important part of this team, especially when he's up there. he provides something different than clint dempsey. that hamstring, i worry if you start him. >> in the meantime, size up belgium for us. they could be down a couple of key defenders, as well. how tough are they going to be? >> this is a team that undeniable individual talent. i don't think we've seen the best of them yet. that's a good thing to a certain extent for the u.s. but tim howard described them yesterday as this volcano. i hope they don't erupt tonight against the u.s. but the u.s. should go into this game confident. this is a team that they can beat. this is a team they should feel confident, individually and collectively, coming into this game. so, i'm excited to see how jurgen klinsmann and the guys go up against this belgian team.
7:09 am
but make no mistake about it. there's some massive talent on this belgian team. >> we're ready. alexi lalas with us. thanks, as always. always put this in perspective. michael, what are you thinking as we head into this? >> it's a little scary. anytime a professional athlete has a hamstring injury that's the one thing you cannot jung. you're not practicing at game speed. the pressure and intensity is not there. it's really something you have to get in the game and do. in soccer, these guys run the entire game. there's no break. there's no way of knowing. you just hope he can go out and not pace himself because that's another thing to try to pace yourself so you don't injure yourself again. >> the game is played this afternoon. our sister network, espn, has the big game. 3:00 p.m. eastern. and before that at noon, argentina against switzerland. in the meantime, let's get the other headlines of the morning. ryan smith in for amy. >> fingers crossed, right? wee begin with the breaking news in the middle east. israel launching air strikes overnight, one day after vowing to get revenge for the murders
7:10 am
of three teenagers, one of whom was an american citizen. the fbi now joining the investigation. and abc's alex marquardt is there. alex? >> reporter: good morning, ryan. this is the spot in the west bank where the teens were kidnapped. today, israelis are coming here to light candles to pay their respects. israel accuses hamas of the murders. and as israel has cracked down, there's been a growing wave of rockets launched by palestinian militants from the gaza strip into israel. overnight, israel's air force bombed a compound belonging to hamas, which denies being behind the kidnapping, but who israel's prime minister says will pay a heavy price, bringing fears that this region is once again on the brink of war. new urgency in the crisis in iraq. president obama is sending an additional 300 u.s. troops to protect the embassy in baghdad. a controversial court decision as the nation confronts the crisis along the southern border. the federal appeals court has
7:11 am
ruled a mexican teenager fatally shot by a u.s. border patrol agent, was protected by the u.s. constitution even though he was shot on the mexico side. new concerns about the safety of u.s. auto parts after a major expansion of two recalls. general motors is recalling an additional 8 million vehicles because of faulty ignition switches. the recall, so expensive, that trading in gm stock had to be halted on wall street on monday. chrysler is recalling another 700,000 minivans and suvs because of a similar problem. a wildfire erupted on this golf course. you see the flames and a golf cart driving nearby. many golfers continued to play. nearby, the fire grew and the size threatened several homes, forcing about a dozen families to evacuate. and finally, if you need a little motivation before your morning workout, just watch this guy. 77 years old.
7:12 am
he's a veteran. you see him in blue. took part in the push-up contest. keep watching. one guy bows out. his younger competitors put to shame. another guy bows out. this guy just keeps on going. he's the energizer bunny. until that happens. honey, we have to go. he could have kept going, but his wife steps in. i have to go. i want to go to the shopping mall. >> his wife is probably thinking, i only have so much advil for tomorrow. get up. we want to get to amy and a key headline for women's health. >> a new recommendation for women that could mean fewer of the dreaded annual pelvic exams. and we have with us dr. jennifer ashton, also a board-certified ob-gyn. these were based on a study. what did it find? >> they looked at 50 studies to evaluate the risks versus the
7:13 am
benefits of the pelvic exam to check for cancer and nonserious gyn problems. and what they found for the average risk, nonpregnant woman without symptom, it's not a great test. and therefore, these recommendations are that women can go from having this test every year to having it every three years. >> how do you know if you fit into that one group? or if you're in the other? >> i think the key message here, and this is so important for women listening, we have to uncouple the pelvic exam from going to their ob-gyn. for many women, this is the only doctor the woman is going to see. we treat the whole woman, not just a body part. and it's important to see that doctor to screen for things like depression, to sexually transmitted infections. >> we've seen similar things when it comes to mammographies and pap screenings. what do you think? >> this is going to be controversies. there's still a role on a case-by-case basis.
7:14 am
and i agree. >> thank you very much for that great advice. now, we turn to the latest on the oscar pistorius murder trial this morning. the defense is questioning the credibility of the so-called ear witnesses who heard screams coming from the blade runner's house the night he shot his girlfriend. abc's lama hasan has our story. >> reporter: taking center stage in the courtroom this morning, the scream the night oscar pistorius shot and killed model girlfriend reeva steenkamp. >> cow don't think it's possible without exception, to be able to identify a male and a female scream? >> one cannot be absolutely certain. >> reporter: a sound expert saying earlier testimony from ear witnesses could be unreliable. the prosecutor gerrie nel hitting the point during cross-examination, that steenkamp was fearful during the fight with the blade runner. >> the deceased screamed because she feared for her life. that's abnormal scream. >> yes. >> reporter: ear witnesses, so
7:15 am
critical to this case, say they heard a woman's cry coming from pistorius' home, like this neighbor. >> the female screams. it was blood-curdling. it was something that leaves you cold. >> reporter: but another ear witness, who lived next to the paralympian, says she heard gunshots and then, a man wail. >> but in the voice of a man. >> reporter: the state's case hedges on the couple having had a fight that night leading to the shooting. the defense trying to inject doubt into that version with his agent saying they had a serious relationship. >> what was the relationship like? >> for me, i would describe it as a loving and caring relationship. >> reporter: the agent also testifying that just before the shooting, oscar pistorius was a global sports icon set to make five-times or six-times more money than he ever made, implying why would he risk it all? david? lara? >> thank you. what could be the best story of the morning.
7:16 am
the trucker gets pulled over by the police officer, but doesn't take it. he's speaking out this morning. >> he turned the law around. that's right. the driver says a trooper was driving recklessly. so, the driver decided he's going to lay down the law for the trooper, capturing the whole exchange on camera. >> i pulled you over, for the horn. i don't know what that was about. >> because you were speeding and had your cell phone in your hand. >> reporter: when brian minor got pulled over by a state trooper for honking his horn unnecessarily, it was the cop that got an earful. >> you honked at me because you believe i was speeding? >> reporter: with his camera rolling, he turned the tables on what he believed was a police officer behaving recklessly. minor said he felt it was his duty to say something. >> if i'm going 70 miles per hour. >> you weren't going 70. you were going well above 70. >> my heart was racing, beating out of my chest. >> reporter: the officer said he doesn't remember having his phone in his hand.
7:17 am
but he does tell miner the law is on his side. >> police officers can use technology when they're driving. >> so, you guys are above the law? >> we're exempt. >> reporter: in illinois, the law does allow officers to use technology while driving. and also drive above the speed limit when on official business. 2 1/2 minutes into their conversation, the officer walks away from the truck. when he returns, he thanks the driver for his concern. >> i didn't write you a ticket. i understand you using the horn. you're trying to -- you saw me speeding. honestly, i wasn't paying attention to my speed. >> reporter: miner says he's not surprised the officer changed his tune. >> that's what happens when they know you're recording. i feel that my video was kind of like me giving him a ticket. it's up to us citizens to film them and bring them accountable for their actions. >> a spokesman for the illinois state police has confirmed that the officer in the video is an illinois state trooper. and says the matter is under review. >> i liked how the officer -- i
7:18 am
know he knew he was being recorded. but he did say, i realize i didn't -- i wasn't paying attention to my speed. >> in law, we might call that an admission of guilt. >> yes. >> on the end there. let's get over to ginger zee. another check of the weather. i can only imagine you have gotten tickets before? >> no. i'm horrible at it. i get very sarcastic and weird. oh, you're pulling me over? was i speeding? it's really strange. i can't do the crying thing. good thing i don't drive anymore. looking at the thunderstorms from overnight in chicago. this is what it looks like throughout the night's skies. and today, we do have another severe weather threat. it goes from burlington, vermont, all the way to parts of western pennsylvania, west virginia, kentucky included. northeast arkansas, too. heat ahead of the storm on the east coast.

>> reporter: police say harris was on his way home from work, when he discovered the child still strapped in the car seat. witnesses say he pulled into this parking lot in a panic, but his son was already gone. harris will appear in court thursday afternoon. search warrants revealed sunday, show his wife, liana harris, told police in the hours after her son's death, that she, too, searched the internet for information on kids and hot cars. mrs. harris has not been charged with a crime. >> there's really no plausible explanation that's come forward at this point, why someone would do such a search. it's devastating evidence to have to overcome. >> reporter: harris' wife spoke out for the first time saturday at their son's funeral, saying she is not angry. and harris was and is a wonderful father. friends and neighbors describe her husband, justin ross, as a kind man. but police are also insisting this wasn't simple negligence. for "good morning america," steve osunsami, abc news, atlanta. we have abc news chief legal
7:33 am
affairs anchor, dan abrams, here now with more. this is such a difficult story to grasp. how critical will the internet searches be in the state's case against justin harris? >> i think they've been very important up till now. there's two, key facts that have been troubling the police. numb we'er one is the internet searchs. and the fact they believe he went back to his car inned anile of the day. both of those suggest to police this wasn't just an accident. but they're going to have to be able to link these two. remember in the casey anthony case, we had a situation where she was searching for things that would seem -- >> chloroform. >> seem to be incriminating. and she was acquitted, even though there was other circumstantial evidence. >> the mother in this case, too, so disturbing. according to the search warrant, also researched hot car deaths and how it occurs. do you anticipate she could be charged in the coming days? >> that won't be enough just to charge her. just the fact that she did the
7:34 am
searches and the fact her child died in the car won't be enough. they have to link here corredir to the child's death. they have to prove in some way, shape or form, she and her husband had colluded to do this. had made a decision together to do this, something of that sort. but the searches alone look terrible. and that in conjunction that she's been out there supportive of her husband, is making a lot of people look at her and say, wait a second. what? >> right. >> but that's not going to be enough to charge. >> do you think harris will be released on bond this thursday? >> he could be. bond is not intended to punish. at this point in the trial, we're trying to make sure he shows up for court. now, when you're charged with murder, you can be held without bond. in this case, i wouldn't be surprised if the bond is reduced. we shall see. >> all eyes on that courtroom thursday. dan, thanks so much. we're going to turn to the dramatic video of a so-called glacier slide that goes terribly

surprised. but you grew up watching these cartoons. >> i did. >> and this is a real goal for you. >> it was one of those things. everyone dreams of being a princess and they never think it's going to happen. but i actually ended up a disney villain. think about it ten years ago. disney would have been like, go away. and now, i'm a disney girl. and it's awesome. and i get to work with the most incredible people and have created this character, using this inspiration from all different people. like there's a little lucille ball, maleficent, veruca salt and my mother. >> there's a little of your mom in there, for sure. your character has pink hair. >> you know, i never saw what the character looked like or any of the animation until almost 18 months into recording. and it had already been drawn two years prior to that. >> that's funny. are you inspired by her? or is she inspired by you? >> i think she became part of my alter ego.

and i kind of morphed into her in a strange way. >> tell me about your cut. and also about stories, a tattoo that you have on the side of your head. is there a story behind that? >> there is a story behind that. but i can't tell it yet. it's got a lot of meaning to me. and my mom is not very happy. >> your mom, though, is -- >> the hair will grow and you won't see it. >> that's right. and you've been adventurous with your hair. you probably heard me before. i'm a whimp. you just go for it. it's sort of your pallet. >> it is. you can have so much fun with hair because if you're lucky enough, it will grow back. you can start it again. i don't want to wake up and look the same. >> i know. i need to be inspired by you. >> i'm the kind of person that will go out of their way to purposely make themselves look different. i like the way i look different. i try so hard to be someone else for so long. and i surrendered. but i'm me. i'm just going to be me.
8:47 am
>> that personal style has translated into a fashion line. >> yes, it has. >> tell us about k.o. >> i can't tell you the name of it yet. but it is launching in september. and i've going from size 0 to 24. there's a huge gap in the market for, you know, nice clothes for all size of women. and there's supportive holding in it. if the design doesn't look good in all three patterns, you have to cut three patterns, then it doesn't go through. it's been a real big challenge. but i joined with the amazing company. and it's all -- i have my first fitting on my hands, pinning things, changing the way things look. it's so much fun. >> what a ride. always so great to see you. looking great. >> thank you for having me. >> congrats on the fashion career, on the clothing and on "the 7d." july 7th, at 10:00 a.m. eastern on disney xd.
