wind. storm surge not as big an issue but something to look out for because the peak is so high the storm surge has a tough time to get in there. waves could go up to 15, 20 feet. >> we'll get the latest on the ebola outbreak. the cdc did raising its alert to the highest level as it monitors the spreading virus keeping a close watch for cases here in the u.s. abc's steve osunsami tracking it all from atlanta where the two infected american aid workers are being treated. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, george. the family of those sick missionaries hospitalized just down the treat here from the cdc are asking for prayers this morning. this morning, disease trackers in the cdc's emergency operations center are on their highest level of alert monitoring the outbreak around the clock. >> it's sort of all hands on deck thing now so that we can draw on people who normally wouldn't be involved in this kind of infectious disease outbreak. >> reporter: fears over the december causing panic in

emergency rooms across the country. the cdc says six people in the united states have been tested for ebola since the west african outbreak erupted in february. all results have been negative including that new york patient who walked into this new york hospital with ebola-like simms monday. and the two americans still in isolation wards at this atlanta hospital now getting the kind of 24/7 western medical care a specialist not treating them says just might save their lives. >> the key here is excellent nursing, frequent vital signs, fixing problems. you have a dehydrated person, give him i.v. fluids. anemic, give him a blood transfusion. >> reporter: spain will become the first country in europe with an ebola infected patient. a priest working at a liberian hospital is back home at a hospital in spain for treatment. he traveled inside this medically equipped military jet. in liberia, this is what's passing for sanitation centers. bucks of water and hand sanitizer. this morning, we're learning

girlfriend with intent. a five-month affair that's been filled with drama since the start. today, that drama back on display. lead prosecutor gerrie nel, aka the bull terrier going on attack. >> the accused was a deceitful version. his core version of events being absolutely devoid of any truth. >> reporter: as he makes his final arguments to the judge and her two assessors punching holes in the defendant's case saying there was no perceived intruder that night. pistorius killed his girlfriend model reeva steenkamp trying to prove he intended to shoot her after an argument. >> this is just coming from the accused. i fired shots at the toilet door and shouted to reeva. my lady, there is no way of interpreting this sentence any way but say, i deliberately fired shots. >> reporter: nel trying to show the blade runner was not a credible witness pouncing on his

inconsistency while on the stand and focusing on 13 of what he called pistorius' untruths. >> he heard a noise emanating from the toilet. noise and movement. in normal circumstances i wouldn't read it so squarefully but in this instance we have to because there's a difference between hearing movement and a noise. >> reporter: painting pistorius as always placing the blame somewhere else. >> the accused refused to take any responsibility and would always place the blame for his actions somewhere else. >> reporter: untruthful and trigger happy. well, tomorrow the defense is expecting to deliver its closing arguments before the judge can deliberate and deliver her final verdict. remember, in south africa there is no jury system, so it's up to the judge and her two assessors to make the final decision. george. >> okay, lama, thank you. we turn to russia striking back at the u.s. this morning with president putin retaliating for sanctions over the crisis in ukraine by banning american food imports including meat, fish, fruits and vegetables. abc's jon karl is at the white house and this comes as the

administration is voicing new concern about the russian buildup on the border of ukraine. >> reporter: in fact, george, chuck hagel, the defense secretary, is warning there is an increasing threat of a russian invasion of ukraine. u.s. officials say there are 20,000 russian troops now amassed on the border and that they are armed with the kind of heavy weaponry that they would need to conduct a full-scale invasion of eastern ukraine and on the sanctions front, russia is not only banning food imports from russian and europe but they are threatening to ban western airlines from flying over russian territory. something that could dramatically increase costs and flight times for flights to and from asia so the bottom line, george, is that u.s. sanctions on russia appear to be doing zero to convince vladimir putin to back down. >> and the president was saying at his press conference yesterday which you were at he wasn't prepared yet to offer more military aid to ukraine but was looking at it on a day-to-day basis. another announcement from russia they'll give and a poke in the eye as well giving more time to

edward snowdens the fugitive nsa leaker. >> he has three mores of asylum in russia. a reminder russia/u.s. tensions go beyond ukraine. snowden, of course, is the most high-profile, most wanted american international fugitive there is and now he'll have at least another three years of safe haven in russia. >> jon, thanks very much. to dan harris with the rest of the headlines. breaking news out of the pacific northwest. hundreds being evacuated as a massive new wildfire erupts 75 miles east of portland, oregon. you can see the flames on the other side of that ridge. the fire is racing along the columbia river gorge, the steep slopes making it hard to fight. nearly 300 homes are threatened. one of america's great natural treasures may be threatened this morning. the victim of a uniquely modern problem. officials at yellowstone national park say a drone belonging to a tourist and equipped with a camera crashed into one ofng ad mri trmdendg i cld betre

this is really a bear. it's definitely a bear. >> dan, that was so unbelievable, i could barely watch it. >> oh, my god. another one. >> he's doubling down. doubling down. >> i got booed the first time. i'm trying to make a comeback? that was your strategy. >> i'm trying. >> let's talk about that off air. >> you don't quit. keep on going. actually we have to shift gears and a sad story. a tragic end to summer fun, a 16-year-old gir was killed. for injured while out tubing. both fell off and when their friends turned around to pick them up they dentally ran over them. linsey davis has the story. >> reporter: four high school students all just 16 years old water tubing when somehow they became entangled in the motor of the boat that was pulling them. an afternoon of summer fun for four teenage girls turned tragic in the waters off greenwich, connecticut, wednesday when two of the girls being towed behind their motorboat were pulled into the boat's motor.

>> at some point, the girls on the tube became entangled in the prop of the outboard engine. >> lots of ambulances pulled into the harbor and it's scary. >> reporter: one of the girls, just 16 years old, died on the scene. >> i just think it's an awful tragedy for our community. it was just a horrible thing to hear and feel sorry for her family. >> reporter: the second girl suffered serious leg injuries and was rushed to a local hospital. police said it happened near the old greenwich yacht club and alcohol was not a factor in the accident. the superintendent of greenwich public schools said the victim was going to be a junior at greenwich high school this september. we are mourning the devastating loss of one of our greenwich high school students, he said in a statement. the horrific tragedy left many in the affluent seaside enclave reeling and stunned. >> i was shocked and scared because, you know, it's two -- four high schoolers. could be my friends, especially the one that passed. it's scary. >> reporter: just to put this in

perspective in this country the coast guard reported more than 4,000 boating accidents resulting in more than 560 deaths. the young woman who was injured remains in the hospital with leg injuries requiring extensive stitches. this all just three weeks before they were set to return back to school from summer break. >> sad story. okay, thanks. and to some medical news now. a new study linking a lack of vitamin d to dementia and alzheimer's disease. dr. jennifer ashton is here to break it down for us. tell us, dr. ashton, what this shows. >> the pendulum on vitamin d keeps swinging back and forth. it was really one of the first ones that looked forward in time about vitamin d levels and found those who had a moderate deficiency of their vitamin d level faced a 53% increased rick of all types of dementia. if you have a severe dish if i that jumped up to 125% increase and found similar numbers for specifically for alzheimer's dementia and very important this

study actually found the beneficial rank to be between 25 and 50 so a lot of people get their vitamin d levels checked. that's the numbers they were looking at. >> did the study show why? >> that's the thing. we hear it all the time. based on association not cause and effect. we know every organ system in the body has vitamin d receptors. one of the theories might be it helps clear out those plaques that interfere with brain function. but absolutely more research is needed. >> all right. we know vitamin d is good from the sun in moderation. what are the other sources of vitamin d. >> ten minutes of natural sunlight. foods like egg, salmon, milk. if you need to go to a supplement, supplement but remember more is not better because there are risks with too much. >> all right, okay. dr. ashton, we appreciate it. >> you bet. michael, over to you. >> yep, don't boo me after this but this is some serious monkey business, everybody. a legal dispute over this picture. the guy who owns the camera said he owns the right to the shot even though the monkey took it.

but not everyone agrees. abc's nick watt has the story. >> reporter: when a monkey snaps a selfie in a forest who own the copyright? >> they do not have my permission to use it. >> reporter: photographer david slater is fuming over a smudgy skype connection from rural england all over this uber viral simeon selfie. he's claiming copyright and says maybe there's 150,000 bucks involved in the rights to this 2011 snap seen around the world. slater says he flew to the remote indonesian island home of the crested macaques and it's his camera. >> so i did all the focus on the camera. >> reporter: here's the problem. wikipedia is displaying that photo claiming the monkey took it. monkeys can't claim copyright so it's public domain. >> in the vast world of monkey selfies, this could be a precedent-setting case. >> reporter: wikipedia hasn't

responded to our request for comment but under the photo this file is in the public domain because it is the work of a n nonhuman mall. it has no human author in whom copyright is vested. slater's ready for court. >> someone is taking credit for the monkey's work and saying, i own that copyright. that's a tough legal argument to make. >> reporter: similar to that brouhaha over the rights to that famous ellen oscar selfie, degeneres owns the camera. cooper snapped the shutter and so did the monkey. creating this modern-day mona lisa that enigmatic smile. for "good morning america," nick watt, abc news, los angeles. >> this guy better win this case. >> yeah. >> it's his camera. >> it's bananas. did you get it, bananas. >> oh, no. >> that got a laugh and a cheer and i got booed.

>> yeah, she's cuter than you. sorry. >> untrue. untrue. i was totally -- i will debate that. >> okay, ginger, why don't you give us more on what's going on in the midwest. >> yes, we are talking about big flooding like wichita outside getting 3 inches in just a couple of hours so we had flash flooding there through parts of kansas city and it will be moving to the east now. the same rainfall rates just sliding along that low and the stationary front and we have the next three days on here because i wanted to not only include central and southern illinois right through kentucky but, of course, north carolina too, again, next three days going into the weekend. so locally you could see some spots getting over 4 inches. the other big story in the south heat. there is a heat advisory for corpus christi even though they're in the 90s could feel like 110. there's the rest of the heat. we have to get your local forecast.
