7:02 am
give up. rick astley. >> like the shirt, like the jersey right there. >> exactly. a lot going on capitol hill. let's take a look at the senate right now. democrats in the middle of a 24-hour push to stop betsy devos from becoming education secretary. that vote likely to come later today. >> overnight president trump blasting the press and pushing for his travel ban. the stakes for the white house very high today. a federal court hearing on the ban is set to begin later today so let's go right to abc's senior white house correspondent cecilia vega. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. the white house is prepare be for a legal showgown. this ban needs to be reinstated because the nation's security is at risk. the president himself says the courts must act fast. his controversial immigration crackdown takes center stage in a courtroom today. both sides given 30 minutes to make their case on that order restricting travel for refugees and citizens of seven muslim majority countries. the president defending that
7:03 am
ban. >> people that love us and want to love our country and will end loving our country are allowed in. not people that want to destroy us and destroy our country. >> reporter: but while lawyers for the justice department told the ninth circuit court of appeals it is a lawful exercise of the president's authority, nearly 100 top tech companies to attorneys general from 15 states and the district of columbia all joining the legal fight opposing the president. but this morning, another controversy brewing. this claim made in front of u.s. central command troops that the media is covering up terror attacks. >> you've seen what happened in paris and nice, all over europe it's happening, it's gotten to a point where it's not even being reported and in many cases the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report it. they have their reasons and you understand that. >> reporter: on air force one
7:04 am
press secretary sean spicer pressed for evidence. >> we'll provide a list later. there's a lot of instances that have occurred where i don't think they've gotten the coverage it deserves. >> reporter: released overnight that list, 78 terror attacks the white house says were underreported. among them cases like a 2014 attack in abu dhabi. an american teacher stabbed to death but also that shooting in san bernardino that left 14 people dead. the pulse nightclub attack in orlando and that christmas market attack in germany, all high-profile cases covered by just about every major news outlet. and here is that list, a full six pages, take a look. many of these covered by the media. as for that ruling we are not sure exactly when it will come down. we do know it could come quickly after the oral arguments wrap today. >> cecilia, thanks. more from our chief global affairs anchor martha raddatz, legal analyst dan abrams. we got the list. it's kind of nonsense.
7:05 am
there's dozens of -- covered extensively by the press. others have not said it is a terror attack. others with no casualties. the president delivering this in front of the military. >> in front of the military which is supposed to be n nonpolitical but gave a stump speech in front of the military and think about it, george, the press is embedded with the military and told their story again and again and one of the great ironies to me here when i hear president trump talk about the press and we're not covering this, he also talks about isis beheading people. james foley was the first person beheaded. he was a journalist. >> you see a pattern here. the judge rules against the president. so-called judge -- they're fake news. clearly an effort here to delegitimize those who might be a check on the president. >> it almost seems like the strategy don't believe those people no matter what they say and this time he's not only saying don't believe them, he's telling us how to do our job. >> in that o'reilly interview we
7:06 am
saw another instance last night of the president seeming to take the line on what's going on in ukraine suggesting maybe putin is not behind those separatist who are moving into eastern ukraine. >> some more extraordinary comments. he really hasn't said anything bad about russia or about putin and keeps in a way defending them. so, that is something we have to watch. to me they're trying to i say renovate foreign policy. they want to take it down to the studs and doing everything over. >> okay, martha raddatz. >> and also continuing to be a headline, of course, is the travel ban and the ninth circuit court of appeals will have that. could be confusing. tell us what's at stake. >> so, all we're talking about for now is this temporary restraining order. this temporary halt on implementing the ban. but as we've talked about before, that doesn't mean this isn't really important and here's why. because right now a federal district court judge has said
7:07 am
i'm not letting the administration implement this. ninth circuit court of appeals is now going to assess that ruling. some will say, so what, they'll end up in the supreme court. maybe, but maybe not. the bottom line is if the ninth circuit agrees with the district court judge and says, the administration cannot move forward with this, the u.s. supreme court very well may say at least for now we're not going to hear this. we're not going to hear the question about should the temporary restraining order be in place. if that happens, that means that the administration cannot move forward with the order. at least for now. and that's a big delay for them and a big setback. >> so a lot on the line. >> absolutely. >> you believe also that the president's tweets could have an impact on the case. >> you know, one of the legal questions is what was the intent of the order? and when you look at the president's tweets, he states what the intent of the order is. do i think it will be dispositive, no, do i think it will be helpful to trump, absolutely not.
7:08 am
>> all right, dan, thank you. >> showdown on capitol hill. democrats have kept the senate open all through the night in their bid to block president trump's pick for education second, betsy devos. mary bruce is there. i want to get to that vote on devos coming later today but breaking news about trump's pick for labor secretary. he admitted to employing an undocumented immigrant. >> reporter: yeah, george, this is the kind of thing that's derailed nominees in the past. andrew puzder admitting he employed an undocumented worker for years. now, he says he immediately ended his housekeeper's employment when he learned she was not documented to work in the u.s. and that he's paid all the necessary back taxes. but puzder is already under fire for criticizing worker protections and his confirmation hearing has been rescheduled several times. perhaps a sign his nomination could be in trouble. >> democrats trying to hard to stop betsy devos but that vote coming later today likely to get through? >> reporter: yeah, what we've seen is a 24-hour marathon hail
7:09 am
mary. democrats making a last-ditch attempt to try and block betsy devos. they've been on the floor talking all night long voicing their concerns about her lack of experience. they're hoping to convince just one more republican to oppose her. that's all it would take to sink her confirmation. but it does not appear to be working. betsy devos is still headed for confirmation. >> if they don't find that other republican, then the vice president is going to be called in. something that's never happened before. >> reporter: this is something we've never seen before, george. the vice president, mike pence, is likely headed here to the capitol later today. he'll have to use his power as the tiebreaking vote to push devos over the finish line. the first time a vice president has used that power to confirm a cabinet nominee. >> okay, mary bruce, thanks very much. george, president trump is also facing backlash in the uk for recent policy decisions. and now a call to keep him from addressing parliament on an upcoming tate visit. our chief foreign correspondent terry moran is in london with much more.
7:10 am
good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. high political drama here at the palace of westminster, the home of the british parliament. shows just how controversial president trump is here in this country. one of america's closest allies. so this is what happened. the speaker of the house of commons jostood up from his cha at the head of the house and he declared that he personally would block any invitation for president trump to come to westminster hall here and give a speech to the british parliament. >> i would not wish to issue an invitation to president trump to speak in the royal gallery. our opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the house of commons.
7:11 am
>> as just astonishing you have to understand speakers here aren't supposed to do that. they're the guys who yell order, order and rule on the motions in the house. people are saying that 800 years of this parliament, no speaker has ever done anything quite like that. >> so, terry, what has been the reaction of everybody over there? >> reporter: well, the reaction ranges from patriotic pride, he's getting cheers from people who say he's standing up for british values to fury. people really angry and say he's gone way out of his lane and showboating and may be damaging the relationship, the crucial alliance between britain and the u.s. it just show, robin, that right across europe, president trump is really stirring a lot of controversy. >> that is apparent. all right, terry, thanks so much. michael. >> all right, thank you, robin. now to breaking news about the flu which is so widespread some hospitals are reportedly running out of beds and dr. besser is here to talk about this with me. the flu season has been deadly this year. >> yeah. >> what areas have been the hardest hit? >> it's many regions of the country.
7:12 am
take a look at this map. if you look here in the northeast high levels of flu, down in the south and in the midwest, but even out in california which isn't letting up as much they're saying that some hospitals are running out of beds. >> but what makes this strain so dangerous from strains in the past. >> so each year there are different flu strains that go around. the one this year is called h3n2 and whenever it is an h3n2 year it tens to be much severe. 15 reports of deaths in children but we have another six to eight weeks of flu coming and i expect the number of deaths to go up so it's not too late to get that vaccine. >> we still have another six to eight weeks. we still have time to go. it's not too late. still time to get the shot. >> definitely. it can take a couple of weeks to be fully active in your body but i would recommend if you haven't gotten it or your kids haven't gotten it, go ahead and get it. >> george, back to you. we move on to that wild weather slamming the center of the country, 23 states under winter weather alerts. ginger is tracking it. >> we are tracking that southern part of the storm where the
7:13 am
lightning, you can see images there, severe storms blowing through parts of arkansas and tennessee this morning. damaging wind, the main threat this morning and this threat is going to go through the late morning and early afternoon. so it's already happening now as we see on the map. lots of lightning strikes across the midsouth and the severe threat stretches from parts of cincinnati, southern ohio right down through a tornado threat in mississippi and alabama today. this before the northeast does -- has a cold whiplash so close to 60 in new york city by -- on wednesday. then by thursday 30 with snow. robin. >> oh, my gosh. stay tuned. right, ginger. >> you got to pay attention of the you don't want to wake up and say, wait a minute. >> exactly. thank you, ginger. now to an urgent manhunt in florida for two suspects on the run who may be linked to three murders across the south. the pair is considered armed and dangerous. abc's linsey davis is here with new details on that. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning. police say they do not believe that monday's attack will be the last. residents in several communities in the florida panhandle are now on high alert.
7:14 am
police are doubling the number of officers on the street in a desperate attempt to catch the suspects. this morning, authorities in florida are escalating the search for this dangerous duo, william boyette and mary craig rice, after an alleged crime spree spanning two states that left three women dead and one critically injured. >> what we are experiencing is a running nightmare, quite honestly. >> reporter: the alleged crime spree began last tuesday when 30-year-old alicia greer and 39-year-old jacqueline jeanette moore were found murdered in a hotel in milton. greer, a mother of three was in an abusive relationship with boyette according to her father. >> he choked her down to the ground and kicked her in the face. >> reporter: but authorities say none of the other victims had any connection to boyette. >> every once in a while we have an individual like in that quite honestly it's hard to get inside their head. >> reporter: the pair's next attack friday morning in lillian, alabama, where authorities say they murdered 52-year-old peggy broz in her
7:15 am
front yard then fled in her car. their latest attack. kaley crocker in pensacola was left in critical condition, her 2-year-old son was uninjured. authorities searching for the suspects say they may be hiding out in the woods and that rice has dyed her hair orange to avoid detection. >> we know that boyette and rice have been in that wooded area. >> reporter: police say boyette is a heavy user of the synthetic drug spice and that's reportedly said to many people that he will not be taken alive. michael. >> thank you, linsey. as we told you earlier the super bowl champion new england patriots, they're back in boston after their big come from behind win but one thing missing that was left behind, superstar quarterback tom brady's game jersey and gio benitez is in boston with the latest on that. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, michael, good morning to you. we are hours away from that big victory parade. in fact, fans will be packing in right behind me here but right now this morning there is a big headline making news, where is that jersey. the internet has given it a
7:16 am
name, jerseygate. >> i put it in my bag. i absolutely 100% put it in my bag. >> reporter: with a fifth super bowl ring now in his possession, this morning houston police, nfl security, state police and local law enforcement officials are all joining forces trying to help four-time mvp tom brady locate another accessory. >> did someone take my jersey? >> reporter: number 12 seen rivaling through his equipment bag. >> brady has his fifth. >> reporter: moments after that record-breaking game. >> i put it in here, man. let someone at the door. check everyone of these media people. >> no, it was just -- >> reporter: the jersey nowhere to be seen. >> want a cigar, tommy. >> you gotta look online. >> reporter: they say his shirt and pads were removed from the field before the trophy ceremony, an equipment manager initially thinking he had safely locked them up but apparently not the case. >> the jersey, yeah, put it in my bag and then i came out and it wasn't there anymore. >> reporter: the state's
7:17 am
lieutenant governor even calling on the texas rangers for help. so, what's the big deal? well, some experts say the jersey could be bring in $500,000 but others say -- >> it basically has zero value. anyone that sees this jersey is going to know that's the stolen jersey. the only thing they can do is send it in an unmarked envelope and return it to boston and say, sorry. >> reporter: but the qb knows there are more important things in life posting these pics of his family after the game paying tribute to his mom who patriots owner robert kraft says has been going through chemotherapy and radiation. >> she's been through a lot. way harder than what i went through last night. she hadn't been to a game all year so what a hell of a game for her to be at. >> reporter: and we should tell thaw brady says his mother's prognosis is good. but she is still fighting and we certainly hope she gets better. but you may remember the lieutenant governor enlisted the help of the texas rangers
7:18 am
baseball team to find that jersey. the rangers said in a tweet, a bit out of our job description but we'll see what we can do. guys, back to you. >> got a little mixed up with the rangers. >> a lot goes on in the locker room. >> so much chaos especially after a game like that. you don't know who is in and out. there are no cameras in there. very easy to tuck a jersey in a backpack. under your coat. who knows. >> what do we know about the weather for this parade. >> you saw gio standing there. he was dry. that is not going to be the case for the parade. it doesn't look great. the rain moving in and actually snow. we have winter weather advisories that stretch from new england back through even north dakota. some of the freining rain advisories start in connecticut and go to the northeast even, not going to be a pretty late morning, early afternoon but very much like boston is used to. we stopped it right there just as the parade is kind of coming to an end, 11:00 a.m. to 12:00, rain to snow with a little breeze.

capitol hill over betsy devos. democratic senators in the middle after i 24-hour push to keep her from getting confirmed. we'll begin this half hour with new questions about that big break in the new york jogger case where a woman was killed on a run. a 20-year-old suspect is now in custody but there are questions about how authorities tracked him down. abc's mara schiavocampo is here with all the details. good morning, mara. >> reporter: good morning. police say the victim helped lead them to the suspect putting up a vicious fight and capturing important dna in the process. police believe they have their man. a seemingly unlikely suspect with no record and for the first time we're seeing the detective that broke this case. this morning, new details about how police caught a suspected killer. >> why did you kill her. >> reporter: chanel lewis arrested saturday and charged with second degree murder for allegedly beating and strangling jogger karina vetrano in august. the 30-year-old last seen in this crime watch daily surveillance video just moments
7:32 am
before her death. >> this case is very similar to a needle in a haystack. >> reporter: police say they chased 250 tips and analyzed more than 600 dna samples but more than six months after the crime, still nothing. then a hunch. lt. john russo remembering a suspicious person he'd seen in the area poring over old complaints they found a single 911 call about the same man made in the spring. once they had his name, they discovered three citations, all tying lewis to that area. >> these things take time. difficult cases but you don't stop. there's vigilance that involved the case. >> reporter: police tracking lewis to his mother's house where he lived 3 1/2 miles from the crime scene. when they visited police say he voluntarily gave them a dna sample, a cheek swab which turned out to be a match. lewis later reportedly confessing saying on the day of the attack he left home angry about something that happened
7:33 am
with his family. wandered into the park and when he saw vetrano he, quote, lost it. violently lashing out and apparently random attack. at the arraignment vetrano's family shouting angrily at the suspect. >> now we're learning more about lewis. he had no prior arrests and went to a school for students with special needs. and this morning, his family saying he's being set up because he's black. >> the cops frame him. he is not a killer. he is not a violent person. >> reporter: in a statement to abc news lewis' attorney says we caution everyone not to rush to immediate judgment. mr. lewis is entitled to fairness and due process. lewis has not yet enter add a plea. vetrano was also sexually assaulted police say but luis has not been charged with that. that is going before a grand jury. >> it is, mara. thank you. for more let's bring in sunny hostin. so, you're a former prosecutor. when you first heard about this arrest, what did you think?
7:34 am
you spent a lot of time in look nothing this. >> yeah, i mean i was thrilled for the victim's family. i think as a former law enforcement officer, you always are. but the profile was odd to me. someone with no prior arrest, no history of violence. didn't know the victim beforehand. it really would be like finding a needle in a haystack. it just didn't quite make sense. i was surprised by the arrest. >> the suspect voluntarily gave a dna sample. supposedly two taped confessions but you say this could be potentially a problem with those. >> i'm troubled by that especially given his background. a special needs student. again, someone without a prior criminal history, no attorney present. no guardian present. the voluntariness of those actions is going to be immediately at issue and without the dna, without the confessions, no case and so i think we have to think about protecting the integrity of the system and i'm, again, a little bit unclear as to whether or not
7:35 am
those pieces of evidence are going to come in. >> why did they allow the perpendicul perpwalk. >> i think it makes it very difficult for the prosecution because what if you have the wrong guy? you're innocent until proven guilty and poison the well for the potential jurors. everybody sees this guy in handcuffs. if that is not the guy, you've compromised your jury system and you've compromised your case. >> it's no surprise that the family is saying, look, this is not our kid. he is just -- of course you would expect a family to say that. and they brought in the racial implications. how do you evaluate statements like that when you're investigating. >> listen, families always say that oh, my goodness, my kid could never do this but we are talking about howard beech, only 1% african-american. this suspect didn't live in the area and so it sort of we minds me of the central park five and reminds me of making a murderer so we have to not rush to judgment here.
7:36 am
>> let's hope we don't do that. if they do, i know the family, they want to make sure they have the right person. >> absolutely. >> everybody does. sunny, see you on "the view" today. >> thank you. coming up, robin, new concerns about off-road vehicles after britney spears' niece is hospitalized. and prince william's powerful words about when to admit you feel overwhelmed. the speech getting a lot of reaction this morning.

we are back with those new concerns about off-road vehicles after britney spears' 8-year-old niece was seriously injured in an accident. she is now in critical condition. linzie here with the story. >> good morning, george. off-road vehicles are incredibly popular in america with hundreds of thousands sold every year. but safety experts say this accident is yet another example of how dangerous they can be. this morning, britney spears is asking for wishes and prayers for her 8-year-old niece maddie. police say maddie, the daughter of jamie lynn spears is in
7:39 am
critical but stable condition after getting into an accident in an off-road video given to her on her 7th birthday. >> reporter: local authorities say she was driving alone when it flipped over and became submerged on a pond on the family's louisiana proper and say within seconds her mother jamie lynn, stepand other family members jumped in the water to rescued her but was trapped by a seat bell and the safety netting. ambulance workers arrived within two minutes freeing the little girl and rushing her to the hospital. a spears family representative tells abc news the family appreciates all the prayers and support for their family. aldridge is believed to have been in a polaris off-road vehicle like this, the instruction manual reads never allow a child under the age of 10 to operate or ride as a passenger in this vehicle. but it also goes on to say it is up to the parent to make the final determination.
7:40 am
