is that godzilla? the monster gator caught on camera making huge headlines spotted taking a stroll in florida. weighing in at 1,000 pounds the gigantic reptile almost 14 feet long now seen by millions up close and personal now with the dinosaur look-alike. i think i could outrun him. i don't want to try it but just think we can. good morning, america. just three days away from donald trump's inauguration as the 45th president of these united states. this is a live look at the national mall in d.c. this morning where they're gearing up for that big event. an estimated 700,000 to 900,000 are expected on friday. some already arriving? >> that means a massive security effort. federal force of 28,000, 6,000 local police and the city in lockdown mode right now. federal employees being urged to

work from home. >> and meanwhile, here's some signs of change in d.c. the dailymail.com getting pictures of movers at the d.c. home where president obama will move with his family after a needed vacation in palm springs. >> quick effort to get president-elect into the white house, as well. we have a brand-new abc news/"washington post" poll released just now. it shows some tough numbers for the president-elect. only 40% approve of how he's handled the transition. half the number we've seen with recent presidents like barack obama, george h.w. bush. jon karl here with more new numbers. good morning, jon. >> good morning, george. president-elect trump will go into office with a majority of americans viewing him unfavorably. george, that is something we simply have never seen in the modern era. just look at the numbers going all the way back to jimmy carter. every newly elected president experiences some kind of honeymoon. donald trump just 40% viewed favorably. but there's a contradiction here and it's a fundamental one.

most americans have high expectations for how he'll handle the big issues. 60% believe he'll do an excellent job the economy. 56% believe he'll do an excellent good job handling terrorism. so, viewed unfavorably but still, george, high expectations for his presidency on those issues. >> there has been some improvement for the president-elect on the number of americans who see him qualified to hold the office. you know, it's come down -- it's come up since the campaign but you still have a majority of americans, 52% see him as unqualified for office. >> and what's driving that in our new poll, george, is that a majority, a big majority, 61% simply do not trust donald trump to make the right decisions. and if you look at some of the other issues, low expectations for how he'll handle international crises. low expectations for how he'll handle race issues. gender issues and health care. >> the whole issue of russian hacking of the elections still hanging over this transition.

you had about two-thirds of americans who believe russia hacked the election and two-thirds, about two-thirds say they were trying to help donald trump. >> yeah and a vast majority think trump has not handled this issue well. look at that number. you've got 35% barely a third of voters prove of how he's handled the hacking issue. >> jon karl, thanks very much. george now to the reaction over donald trump's comments on nato. his comments creating tension with our allies overseas. abc's cecilia vega is at the white house with more details about that. cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. tonight could be the night for donald trump to make nice with some of those allies in what the first big kickoff to this week. donald trump here in an exclusive dinner in washington, 200 foreign diplomats there, their first chance to come face-to-face at his big swearing in. after his mlk weekend war of words with the civil rights leader, president-elect donald trump making a surprise trump

tower appearance with none other than martin luther king's own son. >> the goal is to bring america together. >> reporter: but overseas the soon-to-be 45th president of the united states shocking and igniting fear in some of america's closest allies. trump bashing nato, the longtime political and military alliance of 28 countries from north america and europe. >> and i said a long time ago that nato had problems. number one, it was obsolete because it was, you know, designed many, many years ago. >> reporter: and refusing to say who he trusts more, germany's angela merkel or russia's vladimir putin. >> i start off trusting both, but let's see how long that lasts. it may not last long at all. >> reporter: as for merkel. >> i think she made one very catastrophic mistake and that was taking all these illegals in, you know, taking all of the people from wherever they come from. >> reporter: but the president-elect did have big praise for brexit.

that united kingdom withdrawal from the european union. >> i think brexit is going to end up being a great thing. >> reporter: the reaction swift, merkel saying we europeans have our fate in our own hands. and national security adviser susan rice coming to her defense. >> it's very hard to understand how one could equate angela merkel, the chancellor of germany, one of our very closest allies in the world with vladimir putin. >> reporter: this morning the cia director is in a heated war of words with donald trump. john brennan saying he is not the one would leaked that dossier on russia telling "the wall street journal," robin, that he does not want to give that dossier any additional air time. >> cecilia, thank you. we want to bring in martha raddatz, ask her a little bit more on what cecilia just said there about the cia director. what do you make of that, martha? >> reporter: well, brennan said the idea that he leaked that was repugnant and he said tell the families of those 117 cia officers who gave their lives for the country that their loved

ones were akin to nazis, very sobering words, robin, but don't expect an apology from donald trump. >> he is continuing to fight back. we're talking about trump's words about nato. it's a different tone than what some of his cabinet picks are saying. >> reporter: it is, robin. if president-elect trump's grand strategy here is to keep our adversaries and allies confused and guessing as to what a trump administration holds for them, he has been successful already. i don't know whether this is a good cop/bad cop scenario but what donald trump is saying is very different than what his cabinet picks said at confirmation hearings. trump calls nato obsolete. his nominee for secretary of state says the commitment to nato is secure and his nominee for defense secretary james mattis says nato is vital to our national interests and to the security of the u.s. and vital to the protection of the freedoms of the democracies

we're allied with. we'll see how much influence they have. >> quickly, how has the reaction been from other european leaders about this? >> reporter: as cecilia said it's pretty astonishing. they are watching this very closely. they just don't know how to react at this point. >> thank you, robin. now that dangerous ice storm heading to the northeast and, ginger, you have the latest. >> michael, you know it's bad when you have to skate instead of drive. that's what they're doing in la crosse, wisconsin. that storm is still with us moving to the north and east, even stretching as far south as louisiana and texas. down there it's storms and rain right in this part, the northeast going to get ice but we're not done with it for another 18 hours. overnight, that deadly ice storm glazing roads from the midwest to the northeast. even sending plows off the road near des moines, iowa, and this car sliding into a frozen lake.

encrusting lights, cars, everything in west michigan. in south dakota, this semi lost control on the ice spilling oranges all down the highway. >> it caught me by surprise. >> reporter: in nebraska trees and roadways covered with almost an inch of ice. and in la crosse, wisconsin, kids actually skating on the streets. on the southern side of the storm a big rig driver spotting this tornado in houston. the national weather service confirming at least three tornadoes in texas, now crews are cleaning up the mess. the strong winds ripping the window panes off this dallas skyscraper. winds up to 60 miles per hour plowing through marietta, oklahoma, this floor to dirt from the ceiling torn off. parts of minnesota, those go until noon in general but in the east we've got this, again, for much of our tuesday, watch out as this comes through, majority of the i-95 corridor will remain rain but start to mix in with a wintry mix west of boston, say

worcester especially as everyone makes their ride home tonight, in that winter storm warning in places, four to even seven inches of snow could fall and eventually by wednesday morning this stuff starts to get out. i have to mention quickly a huge change for the west, more rain on the way, an ice storm warning in portland, portland, oregon, you guys, has had nine snow days already. they rarely get one. nine already. big stuff and san diego, l.a., about to get hit with a lot of water too. >> my kids are jealous. they haven't had a snow day. move on to breaking news, the search for malaysia airlines 370 has finally ended after three years covering 46,000 miles, 239 died when the plane disappeared without a trace and abc's lama hasan is in london with the story. good morning, lama. >> reporter: good morning to you, george. that's right. the hunt for malaysian airlines flight mh370 has been called off. this morning a joint statement, the transport ministers of malaysia, china and australia, issuing it saying, after

spending more than $160 million and despite every effort to find the plane using the best science available and cutting-edge technology scouring a desolate stretch of the indian ocean no trace has been found of the boeing 777. the ministers adding the decision to suspend the underwater search was neither taken lightly nor without sadness. george. >> and, lama, any reaction from the families yet? >> reporter: yeah, george, as you can imagine this is devastating for the families of the victims, 239 souls lost when the plane vanished nearly three years ago. this morning the families calling this decision irresponsible, demanding they extend the search. one australian woman saying, quote, they promised they would bring them home and now they're just giving up so a very difficult time for the friends and families of the victims. >> you can see why they want those answers. thanks very much. new developments now in that new year's terror attack that left 39 dead in istanbul. turkish police say that the alleged gunman has confessed to opening fire in that crowded

nightclub. abc's alex marquardt is in moscow with the very latest on this. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, robin. that's right. the attacker apprehended after 16 days on the run. he was arrested in an istanbul apartment after fears that he might try to escape the city, even slip across the border into syria. istanbul's governor this morning identified the attacker as abdulkadir masharipov, a citizen of uzbekistan. he said he confessed to the attack that left 39 dead after new year's eve at the reina nightclub. his fingerprints match at the scene and found with two pistols on him as well as $197,000 in cash. the governor saying it is clear this attack was carried out in the name of isis. >> and, ailing lex, do we know more about isis' possible involvement you just mentioned? >> reporter: well, that's what the authorities will be looking into, whether there are any direct ties between the attacker

and isis. it's clear there was a significant level of support. remember, isis has claimed responsibility for this attack saying it was in response to turkey's actions against the group in iraq and syria. they also said that the shooter was what they called a soldier of the caliphate, robin. >> all right, alex, thank you. a health warning now, two reports raising big concerns about a ride in super buildings that can resist even the most powerful antibiotics. dr. richard besser is here. >> this is what you might call a nightmare scenario. the first report came from cdc, a woman in nevada who died from an infection resistant to all antibiotics licensed in the u.s. she had been hospitalized in india and probably brought it back. the second report out of boston looked at how commonly these resistant bacteria are found in our bodies and found them more commonly than expected. bacteria pick up resistance from other bacteria and spread person to person making the hospital very dangerous for people. >> so, what can people do to protect themselves. >> whenever you're prescribed an

antibiotic ask do i really need it for this condition? the second is if you're hospitalized tell your doctor if you've ever been in a medical facility overseas so they can test you and isolate you. and lastly before anyone touches you, make sure they've washed their hands. that's the most important thing. >> so key, rimpf besser, thanks very much. michael. >> thank you, george. now to that deadly shooting at a popular nightclub in mexico. five killed including an american woman. at least 15 more were injured when americans among them. abc's matt gutman is this los angeles with the latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. we now know there are at least five americans among the casualties. investigators have ruled out terror and are searching for a man who apparently tried to bring a gun into the club when security guards tried to stop him. a gunfight broke out resulting in a stampede of hundreds of partygoers and carnage. instantly the beat of the music gave way to the staccato of gunfire and those screams. five were killed and 15 wounded

when a gunman opened fire in this packed nightclub in the mexican resort town of playa del carmen early monday and this morning we learned four americans were among the wounded and among those killed near the dance floor alejandra villanueva ibar from denver. her brother telling our denver affilia affiliate. >> just trying to figure out how we'll bring my sister back. >> reporter: her friend ignacio valencia was right there. >> i was in shock and i didn't want to leave my friend either but i couldn't pick her up because i was also injured. >> reporter: he himself had been shot in both arms. >> i'm lucky because the bullets just went through and nothing was inside of them. >> reporter: another of the bullets fired hit heather parham from spokane, washington, in the back side. ibara, the american, had been crushed in the stampede to flee the shooting. fellow american bria didson was also trampled on. >> there was so much pain, i can't stand. i'm crying and begging people to help me.

no one is helping. they're running. it's hard to think about what could have happened. >> reporter: at first some of the crowd attending a week-long electronic dance festival didn't react. these people only starting to run when they see a body in the street. you hear them yell, run, into the bathroom now. now, that young woman who was killed, alejandra villanueva was only 18 years old. her little brother told us he started a go fund me campaign to help their single mother. in several cases recently the drug war has spilled over into mexican resorts popular with americans but mexican officials are saying this one started as a personal dispute and was an isolated incident. guys. >> yeah, but the result so incredibly sad. let's turn to amy for the other top stories developing. >> good morning, everyone. three men working on a road project in key largo have died after authorities say those men inhaled toxic fumes underground. a firefighter who climbed down a 15-foot hole trying to rescue them is now in critical condition.

he had to leave his air pack behind because it was too big to get through that hole. well, general motors is announcing a $1 billion investment in its u.s. factories. the company says the move will create or keep about 1,000 jobs. this comes after president-elect trump criticized gm for making cars in mexico. wall street is closely analyzing new details about britain's exit from the european union. prime minister theresa may says the uk will not remain at the partial membership in the eu but she says the british parliament will get to vote on brexit and she hopes to begin trade negotiations by march. the last person to walk on the moon has died. before leaving the lunar surface back in 1972, gene cernan wrote his daughter's initials in the moon dust. the former navy test pilot and abc news analyst was 82. well, a close encounter for fishermen off florida. look at that. a 12-foot shark came leaping out of the water to grab their bait. they said it jumped out of the water several types before

eventually swimming away 30 minutes later. what a show. but guess what, here's the real star when it comes to an mile sightings in florida. look at that guy. only described really as a monster alligator at this nature reserve. some calling him godzilla. doesn't he look -- he's so chill. moving slowly, taking his time. maybe it's because he weighs 1,000 pounds, 13 feet long. one woman there admits she should have been afraid but she was just in awe. she posted nature at its best. not sure that would have been the caption in my book but probably pretty cool to see from a disance. >> a lot more chill than i would be. >> i wonder if other gators look and go, man, you're a big gator. >> i can only imagine. let's kick it back over to ginger. >> you heard of this, too much snow to ski or snowboard. in utah they had to shut down for a day and beautiful weekend of skiing and snowboarding and a lot more coming your way, los

aiding and abetting and obstruction of justice. the fbi arresting her monday near san francisco, neighbors stunned to learn she had been living there with her young son. >> you never know. what's happening next door. >> reporter: the fbi focusing on salman almost immediately after the shooting confronting her with surveillance video of her and mateen shopping for ammunition investigating trips they made to orlando, had they been scouting targets? sources telling abc news at the time salman told investigators mateen left the house the night of the attack with a bag of guns. and that she begged him not to go but in november, salman reportedly telling "the new york times" that she thought mateen was out with a friend that night until she got a call at around 4:00 a.m. from his mother looking for him. police releasing the text she said she exchanged with him that morning. mateen asking her do you see what's happening? she replied, no. his response, i love you, babe. in a statement to abc news

monday, salman's lawyers claim she was physically abused by her husband and say she had no foreknowledge, nor could she predict what omar mateen intended to do that tragic night. salman's own father-in-law telling us no one in the family knew about his son's plans. have you spoken to his wife today? >> yes. >> did she know anything about his plans? >> not that i know. >> reporter: salman is due in federal court in oakland, california, later this morning. she's expected to be extradited to orlando where she'll be prosecuted. her lawyers tell us they will not fight extradition. robin. >> all right, linzie, thank you very much. we'll bring in dan abrams for more. i don't have to tell you how serious those charges are. what does it say to you about what authorities suspect her role may have been. >> it's saying that the authorities are charging her for activities before this happened and after it happened. meaning before for aiding and abetting. meaning in some way providing some level of material support,

assistance, help, doesn't mean she was an accomplice but means they believe she helped in some way, shape or form. i think that even more surprising than that is they're also charges her for obstructing justice after the fact. meaning crime is committed. authorities begin investigation and they believe she's obstructed that investigation. why is that surprising? because up to this point we had heard that she was cooperating with the authorities and typically when someone cooperates with the authorities they don't get charged with obstructing justice but it seems clear the authorities believe there are inconsistency in her story and don't believe her. >> you've been following this since the attack. is there anything else that's been surprising to you. >> it's in particular those sort of inconsistencies. there it's the fact that they're highlighting those inconsistencies and seem to be focusing on them, for example, did she warn -- did he warn her in any way of the attack. meaning at one point she may have said that she tried to talk him out of it and then at

another point said i had no idea anything about it. there were techs between them as we saw in linzie's piece, et cetera. so that's going to be the focus of this. but i think that the other question is going to be her mental state. >> some are claiming she has some sort of learning disability. she may use that as some sort of defense. >> right, so typically it wouldn't be a defense, right. you wouldn't be able to say, i shouldn't be convicted of a crime because i've got a learning disability. that won't work. the question is, could it work to say, i didn't know what he was going to do. meaning it was so subtle that maybe someone else would have understood it but she gets up there on the stand, she talks about what she knew and talks about her abilities and maybe, maybe jurors believe, you know what, i kind of think this was an abused woman who didn't have -- who didn't have all her mental capacities there and as a result, i think maybe she didn't understand what she was doing. >> that's a possible defense. but typically when you're

talking about mental state it comes into sentencing and not into guilt. >> see what happens. dan, thanks very much. michael. coming up, everybody, a record-breaking amount of money is being spent on the inauguration of donald trump and brian ross is here with the late -- with the secret donors behind the biggest inauguration ever.

ruffin was his business partner and vice chair of the inaugural committee. >> staying at the new trump hotel. $18,000 a night, guaranteed five nights, so it's pricey. >> reporter: indeed the place for anyone courting the next president is trump's own hotel just down pennsylvania avenue from the white house. already the bar scene here jammed with washington's new a-list. >> not necessarily people who foe where the fork and knife go at the dinner table but know how to get things done. >> reporter: all for a president who said he didn't need special interests and their money. he wanted to drain the swamp. >> i don't need anybody's money. i'm using my own money. i'm not using the lobbyists or donors, i don't care. i'm really rich. >> reporter: but now trump's inaugural committee is taking huge contributions from some of the biggest corporations that will toad a good relationship with the next president. big banks seeking to limit government regulations, corporations which want to

ask your doctor about entresto. and help make the gift of tomorrow possible. buckle up, everyone. welcome back. time now for our big board. we do mean big board and break down more of the top stories with dr. ashton and besser here at the table for our first story. i love it when you book end us like this. we're -- how about we start with the new study that may have you rethink how you talk to your child's doctor. researchers from the university of florida finding that, get ready for this, 40% of medical errors are the result of rudeness. >> wow. >> toward physicians and we know medical errors, how it leads to so many deaths. >> that's right, yeah. >> so tell us more about this. >> yeah, i think this is fascinating. so, the study was conducted, conducted it in israel and they looked at decision-making when people -- when doctors, medical

teams are faced with people who are rude and took 40 teams from newborn intensive care units from around the country and put them through a training exercise. half the team has a parent who was just fine and half the team has a parent who was incredibly rude and what they found was and then the teams had to work through scenarios with a very sick child, it was a mannequin. the teams that had the parent that was very, very rude, they didn't perform as well. they couldn't make a diagnosis as quickly or treat as quickly. they weren't sharing information as well. clearly the parents got in their heads and it led to a bad outcome. >> but i think the point here, you guys, and we all know this, whatever profession you're in, there's no such thing as optimal or ideal circumstances whether it's sports or television, whether it's medicine, and the fact of the matter is medicine is a little different and we have to be -- we are trained to be able to make diagnostic decisions and execute treatment under stressful and emotional situations, but i was stunned at how high the number is for

medical errors just because someone says i don't like that tie. >> and didn't put it aside. >> go ahead. >> we don't know what they immediate by rudeness. >> emotional situation. >> exactly. your child is ill. you're going to be screaming. you're going to be -- >> what they said to the team was, i wish we could have our child in a better hospital not a third world hospital like this. it was just like, just frank rudeness. >> but a question is what has been some of your personal experiences? because you both have treated children. >> yeah, you know, i -- i know when i've had a parent who was rude, not just concerned but that rudeness, it gets in your head. and it can affect how you are. it gets you off your game in a way thaw don't want to be? wow. >> but i think also there have been a lot of other studies, this is just the latest and ones have shown an increase rate of medal errors even when it comes from within the medical team. this is a treatment just like you and we're a team in the hospital. we function on a team and there's doctor to doctor rudeness, nurse to doctor

rudeness. nurse to nurse rudeness. it does throw people off but i deep down inside really feel like we have to be held to a little bit of a higher standard in medicine because we are making life and death decisions here, the stakes are a little higher with all due respect than saying like i'm going to blow this play or i'm going to miss -- >> you've both been on teams. what's it like when you have a coach or a teammate who is rude. can you play your best? >> no. >> not as much as i think but we should point out it's not intentional these mistakes that we're saying -- ? exactly. >> not intentional. >> what was really fascinating was that if they worked with a team ahead of time, they put them through a computer simulation ahead of time, it could blunt the affect and so they weren't impacted by the rudeness so may be things you can do in training people, for me it's meditation. but there are things you could do to get people not to be affected. >> let's hold hands. start right now. >> everybody's human and everybody is affected by

somebody else's attitude towards them? exactly. >> so, treat your doctors nicely, everybody. the moral of that story. and next up, the battle for the super bowl is heating up this weekend. it is what they consider the old guys leading the charge. four veteran nfl quarterbacks all over 30 will take the field -- why are you laughing at me already? all take the field sunday proving age is just a number and a guy who says that every day, jesse palmer is here, and, jesse, 30 in most professions is young. in football you consider ancient but are you surprised that the old guard is at this point and most of the young players aren't, you know, this far along in the playoff? that they've taken over the old guard. >> not at all, michael. i think when you look at the four quarterbacks in ben roethlisberger, tom brady, aaron rodgers, matt ryan, all four guys are playing at such a high level right now, three of them are up for mvp consideration in the nfl. it's been remarkable and to me

call me biased i think the quarterback position is the toughest position in team sports. >> biased. >> there's just no substitute for experience. matt ryan is like the young pup in his ninth year. these guys have been in the wars and been in the big games. three remaining have already won super bowls and that experience at quarterback is something that teams like miami and oakland and houston, even dallas, they didn't have and a lot of those teams obviously eliminated right now. i do think it's interesting of the four remaining all four are making over $20 million a year so you get what you pay for and that's exactly what these teams are saying. >> i notice you made that comment via satellite. you wouldn't say that in studio face-to-face with michael strahan. he would take you down. >> i'm safe up here. >> break down -- break down the match-ups coming up. >> robin, we've got two awesome quarterback duels, in tafc, i love ben roethlisberger, he's played so well this year dealing with injuries. he's been tough.

i just think having to beat tom brady at home at gillette stadium in foxborough is going to be too difficult. tom brady is playing in his 11th afc championship game, consider this, three franchises since 1970 have played in more championship games at the conference level than tom braid dough so i like the patriots winning and nfc, the atlanta falcons have had the best offense of the nfl all year, matt ryan at quarterback played at mvp caliber but aaron rodgers is at a different level and i think he wills them to win and going with new england against green bay in the super bowl. >> ooh. >> tom brady said about aaron rodgers, when he's on i usually stay up and watch. >> that says something. of course he's trying to get in his head a little bit. >> i don't think. that's positive reinforcement. he should be more negative. >> you took some heat. you said the cowboys were not going to make it. >> yeah. >> and you were right. >> everybody in dallas is mad. i'm sore,i dallas. i just called it how i saw it. >> i almost retweeted you. >> don't do it.
