breakdown of decorum of the way the house should work but also they point out that the very votes that are being demanded right now by democrats, those bills have already been voted on in the senate and they have failed. so even if there were miracul s miraculously a vote and somehow passed in the house they have already died in the senate. >> so it goes. all right, jon, thank you. >> waiting for the candidates for president to weigh in. in the meantime, we turn to the race for the white house. donald trump unleashing what might be his most blistering attack yet on hillary clinton. abc's tom llamas is at trump tower in new york to break it down. tom, good morning. >> reporter: david, good morning to you. in that hard-hitting speech trump called clinton possibly the most corrupt person to ever run for the white house. clinton says trump is on the attack because he has no real policies or plans to promote. donald trump striking back outlining his new line of attack on hillary clinton. >> she's a world class liar, just look at her pathetic e-mail server statements or her

7:10 am
just north in a town called delaware a river overflowing because they got anywhere from 4 to 6 inches of rain very quickly and so it's not just this morning the severe storms but the low will pass and then you get another shot this afternoon and evening, cincinnati, charleston, northern kentucky all included in that. damaging wind, we could still see tornadoes and, of course, flash flooding in here. >> drive safely today. thanks so much. we turn to that flight forced to make an emergency landing because of a man allegedly making threats on board, in fact, f-16s were scrambled to escort the flight to safety. abc's david kerley is live at reagan national airport with the latest. david. >> reporter: good morning, david. passengers say this man was acting very strangely, f-16s were scrambled and then pilots in the area were wondering what was going on. pilots flying in and out of tucson confused receiving cryptic messages. >> what's the issue with 29 right? is there a reason we can -- >> it's a security issue. >> reporter: the security issue, two fighter jets escorting a delta jetliner in for an

7:14 am
robin and david. >> you want to expand upon that a little bit more how it could affect the 401(k)s here in this country? >> reporter: well, there's no question, robin, that if europe tips into recession and britain is the fifth largest economy in the world, it will be in turmoil. these are large trading partners of the united states and the markets hate the uncertainty of it all. and so with the economy growing so slowly right now, anything could tip it over. >> you said it best there. the uncertainty really drives the markets wild. it is razor thin right now what can happen. terry, thanks so much. to amy with the other stories. >> this is sad. coast guard crews have recovered one body in the search for that family who was sailing off the gulf coast. they say they are trying to stay positive but they have made another heartbreaking discovery. look at that. they found tennis shoes, water bottles of the kayaks and life jackets. they say likely all belonged to 45-year-old ace kimberly and his three teenage children. they were last heard from on

7:18 am
the patients switching planes there and flying on to chile. just the third time in 60 years that a midwinter rescue has been attended. >> they're putting crews in danger. putting lots of people supporting those crews in danger. so these people had to be really sick and it was a tough decision to make. >> reporter: the national science foundation which runs that south pole station isn't revealing what the patients are suffering from or where they're being taken. but this morning, as far as the harrowing rescue goes, it could not have gone better. david. >> those pilots who flew through darkness 24 hours a day, incredible. thanks, alex. right back over to ginger. we talked about the storms. now the heat. >> you know that's part of the fuel from tulsa to evansville and paducah. your local weather in 30 seconds, first the hot cities brought to you by mazda cs9. >> reporter: good morning

7:32 am
this lifestyle magazine. >> i started selling at different farmers' markets and couldn't keep up with the demand. >> reporter: but police say the wanna-be model had a darker side wanting to end a contentious custody battle with her ex-boyfriend, bradley sutherland, father the of their 3-year-old by having him murdered. >> i thought it was a joke. in all honesty we all thought we were being punked for a short period of time. >> reporter: police allege buckingham even recruit the her new boyfriend, joseph chamblin to help kill him. they say he told them about the alleged plot. authorities setting up an undercover sting where buckingham allegedly paid a $300 deposit. the total cost, 3,000 bucks. locals say the community is in shock. >> no one would ever imagine. she was well liked because what she gave back to the community after she came home from serving. >> reporter: but as for her
7:33 am
ex -- >> i don't feel angry. i feel kind of sad she felt the way she did that she had to do that to try to take my son from me. >> reporter: and buckingham is now out on $150,000 bail. she's wearing an ankle monitor. abc news has not been able to reach her lawyer but we know she'll face a judge on monday, robin. >> that we do know, for more let's bring in abc news chief legal analyst dan abrams. the credibility of the boyfriend, how important is that. >> he turns her in and typically in a indication like this he'd be critical. the reason he's not that important is because the tennessee authorities literally go in, they go undercover, they get a deposit from her to go ahead and commit this crime. then they show her pictures of what she thinks is now her dead ex and she then pays the remainder of the money. the authorities say, so that's going to become the critical point in this and as a result his credibility becomes a little less important.
7:34 am
>> so with all that what does the defense say? >> i think she's going to end up pointing the finger at him, at the guy who turned her in. you know, because they're two sort of exes at this point and if she does that, he then becomes the focus of the defense. i think she's going to argue he set me up. this was his money. he's the one who wanted me to do this. he's the one who was pushing for this. i never really wanted that. we'll have to see exactly what it'll be. >> what possible sentencing is she faceing? >> well, she could face if convicted like 15 to 60 years but you have to wonder whether there's going to be some sort of deal here, right. this is someone who friends say was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder. does the victim meaning the father of her child not want to really move forward with this? >> it seems to be the case. >> i think he's got a level of sympathy for her and if that happens, you could see a deal here where maybe she gets a few years in prison. remember, she's out on $150,000 bail. it's not a lot of bail. >> isn't she pregnant too.
7:35 am
>> she is pregnant. she is pregnant. presumably with the child of the same guy who ended up turning her in. >> maybe that will play too. >> right. that's a big question mark. i think that could end up being a factor in this case and come up possibly as part of the defense. >> we'll see what happens. all right, dan, thank you. we turn to that bizarre story of a texas woman who woke up from surgery with a thick british accent of the rare condition is called foreign accent syndrome and apparently there's no known cure. abc's mara schiavocampo is here with more on this. hey, mara. >> hey, david, good morning. imagine waking up from surgery sounding like a completely different person. at first this woman's doctor thought it was due to swelling, her kids thought she was faking it. but it's actually something very real. mom of three lisa alamia is a born and bred texas girl. >> i say you all the time before the accident once i got the accident i started to notice i
7:36 am
said you are. >> reporter: is from england. it all started in december of 2015. she went in to surgery to fix an overbite and came out with a new british accent. >> i've never been outside of the country except for a mission trip to mexico and that's definitely not where my accent came from. >> reporter: listen to her voice before in a video her family made for their church. >> you guys have inspired us and befriended us and we love you. >> reporter: and today. >> i was very shocked. very -- i didn't know how to take it. i was very confused. >> reporter: so just how does something like this happen? it's an extremely rare medical condition called foreign accent syndrome. only about 100 reported cases ever. alamia's neurologist ran a full battery of tests but says everything came back normal. >> to know that she's not faking it, not making this up gets just such a rare condition that even neurologists that i speak to don't believe that this is the
7:37 am
real condition. >> reporter: while the accent can die mennish over time it can also be permanent and there is no known cure. now alamia plans to start speech therapy but has a message that sounds great regardless of the accent. >> you're still you. this accent doesn't define you. you are who you are. >> reporter: now it's most often caused by trauma or stroke but her doctors will keep doing tests to get to the bottom of it. part of the small 15% not due to head trauma. >> doctors say it is a real thing and i was struck by what she said. she'd only ever traveled to mexico. she hadn't even been exposed to the british accent. >> a woman from kansas woke up with an irish accent. so it can be an accent that you don't necessarily know is in you but it's in you. >> fascinating. >> does it wear off. >> it has gotten better over the last seven months but this may be as good as it gets.
7:38 am
it may be like this for the rest of her life. her kids are no longer scared because in texas a british accent is not intimidating. >> she wants that back so the kids will listen. to amy and the big board. >> coming up, obama's next career move could be nba? the stanford d.a. fighting back. tyra banks weighing in on the supermodel war. why she is speaking out passionately. we'll be back in two minutes. our bright, bold ocean spray craisins® dried cranberries transform everything. to show you, we're doing a taste test. but don't i need a fork? not for this taste test. which salad tastes better?

7:41 am
what are you hearing? >> it is. and, you know, the president has said in the past that he fant sides about being part of an ownership team of an nba team. but he just yesterday white house press secretary josh earnest said it again, said the president would be very interested in being part of an ownership team. almost like he's putting up in big neon letter, let me be part of a time. obviously he would have to have wealthy partners. he has money but not that kind of cash. >> i remember the press pool was waiting off air force one, the president did not emerge and finally the first family walks up to the plane because they were watches the cavs and did not want to miss the end of the dame. >> the president is the ultimate basketball fan. you know, david, he has some experience as a basketball coach. he coached for a little while sasha's middle school team. so he's got a little bit of experience and check this out, i love this video. this is from april. the president actually was taking time to show steph curry
7:42 am

>> in california, if you sexually abuse someone but use force, you got to go to prison. you get mandatory prison time. but in california at this point in time, if you sexually assault an unconscious or intoxicated person you can get probation. does that mean that a sexual assault when you're intoxicated, drunk or unconscious is less horrific? well, this d.a. says no. this d.a. is proposing a law to make sure that if you sexually assault someone that is drunk, intoxicated, inebriated, unconscious, you go to prison. i say bravo. bravo. >> a lot of people are saying that. we all know there was so much anger and outrage over that six-month sentence so could we see other d.a.s follow suit in other states across this country? >> no question about it. 80 to 90% of survivors of campus sexual assault don't report. those survivors say they don't report because they don't think anything is going to happen to their attackers. d.a.s across the country will jump on this bandwagon to send the message to survivors that if
7:44 am
people assault you, they will go to prison. >> sunny, we know that there was outrage over the sentence but i -- i mean that 12-page powerful written statement that was released that that victim said aloud in court how much of an impact do you think that had on what we're seeing now. >> a significant impact. a huge impact. who hasn't read that letter? who hasn't listened to that heartfelt plea from that survivor that says, this is what happens to me. this is what sexual assault does to someone. even the vice president, vice president biden weighed in. i think that that was a watershed moment for survivors of sexual assault all across our country. we hear them now loud and leer. >> the power of social media now giving them a voice. >> sunny, thank you very much for that. want to turn to the latest wrinkle in the supermodel wars, tyra banks weighing in on the mul multigenerational feud that's sprung up between stephanie seem
