7:01 am
about a major biological risk as fighters take over a public health lab. breaking news, police arresting multiple suspects in that deadly colorado rock throwing spree. what we're learning right now at this father of three whose minivan was hit is now speaking out. gripping jailhouse phone call between the so-called doomsday mom, lori vallow, and her sister . you know me so that's what i thought. the dramatic and emotional testimony and what's next? miracle on the train tracks, the incredible moment workers save this toddler with autism who wanted on to the tracks what his mother is saying this morning, more backlash. the new rules set to take effect may 1st and why a higher credit score may not be a good thing. facing the music, ed sheeran taking the stand, accused of copying a marvin gaye classic. and you'll hear the songs back to back. one day we're gonna come back. and one month after a devastating tornado ripped
7:02 am
through rolling fort. we are there live, showing what makes the town mississippi strong, telling stories of survival. speaking with the police chief who lost his home and his department in one night. where were you in the storm hit? i was at home and my wife and my grandbaby. how the community is coming together to pick up the pieces, providing warm meals, shelter and helping their neighbors throughout recovery. we we're feeding 500 people a day and they're getting to come and not just eat, but they're getting loved on and cared for. this morning, what's next in the rebuilding and how you can get involved right from home? i believe we're going to come back really big and better. yes we're rolling strong because one day we're gonna come back live in times square. this is. good morning america. so much healing to be done down there in mississippi. but robin is on the scene and they are coming back and have a lot more on that all
7:03 am
morning long. so important that we're following that recovery effort. but first, we begin with some breaking news overnight in dangerous severe weather on the move from colorado to texas, where 90 mile per hour winds tore through the state of possible tornado. completely leveling this convenience store . and the new threat this morning, ginger is tracking the latest for us. good morning, ginger. good morning to you, michael. remember we've had more than 400 tornadoes confirmed already this year. and we are just now entering the heart of tornado season. there's a possible tornado with the damage . there you see just east of lubbock. they also have damaging winds in excess of 90mph. so it doesn't matter which kind you get. you can do a lot of damage with it. and there will be a lot more where that came from today. also, big hail, sweetwater, texas, seeing the hail on the road there. but it was windshield cracking, hail baseball to softball sized in different places across the texas. there and then that warm front spot did it first. now we're going to get the low and the cold front. so if you're garland, plano, waco, fort worth , dallas, it starts two, 3 p.m. on the western side of this marches right across and then
7:04 am
eventually through the gulf tomorrow morning. so 9 a.m. would be when you see thunderstorms in louisiana. george i want to mention that florida also has a really unique threat i'll tell you about in a moment. okay. we're looking forward to that. we're going go to the white house now. president biden and vice president kamala harris made their case to voters yesterday. donald trump is already targeting a ticket. chief white house correspondent mary bruce has the story. good morning, mary. good morning, george. well, with the campaign now underway, we are seeing the party line up behind the president. despite polls that show that the vast majority of americans, including most democrats, would prefer an alternative candidate, progressive senator bernie sanders, who was of course, one of the president's main rivals in 2020, now says he is endorsing biden. the president is not expected to face any major challenge for the party's nomination, and that means that this campaign is going to feel really different. the democratic party already saying they do not expect to hold debates, which is sparking some criticism. we did get our first taste of this campaign yesterday. the president there greeted with those chants of for more years as he fired up a crowd of union workers with that new campaign
7:05 am
mantra to finish the job. kamala harris was also out there. we have seen her taking on a more elevated role, perhaps an attempt to try and boost her popular charity. she's leading the charge on the fight for abortion and reproductive rights while on the other side of the aisle, the republican frontrunner, donald trump, is already taking shots at the president, saying when they stand on that debate stage, it will be democrat's worst nightmare. here we go again, george. yeah, deja vu. mary bruce, thanks very much. lindsay all right. thanks, george. now to the latest out of afghan where the taliban killed the suspected isis mastermind behind the 2021 kabul airport bombing, which took the lives of 13 american troops and at least 170 afghans are two. foreign correspondent ian panel has the latest. good morning, ian. yeah, good morning, lindsey. shortly after that deadly attack, president biden vowed we will not forget. we'll hunt you down and make you pay. but in the end, it was the taliban who got the suspected mastermind this morning, the suspected mastermind behind the killing of 13 american servicemen and women and more than 150 afghans is
7:06 am
dead. the white house saying the taliban killed the terrorist leader in an operation in recent weeks, but that the us was not involved. a senior administration official calling the outcome significant. the taliban haven't commented in this video. you can see the lone figure dressed in black, the pentagon saying it's the bomber carrying 20 pounds of explosives packed with ball bearings. the attack at kabul airport in august 2021, claiming the lives of 13 us service members and at least 170 afghan civilians. marines staff sergeant taylor hoover was among those killed. his family was informed of the killing of the isis leader tuesday morning. another terrorist being off the face of the earth. i'm good with that, especially one that planned something. this scale or this magnitude, but still, his family looking for answers from the biden administration around the events leading up to the blast. all we want is answers. we were
7:07 am
on the exact same spot where the blast occurred. just one day before this is the difference potentially between the life saving work that's been carried out by the military here and potentially death by the taliban in less than five yards since taking control of the country, the taliban's been locked in a deadly battle with the islamic state's afghanistan affiliate isis. k well, the us is saying that the militants must now stop the country from becoming a safe haven for terrorists once again. but the reality on the ground is that isis is a developing threat inside afghanistan and potentially against us targets overseas in the future michael. all right. thank you for that, ian. i'm going to turn now to the chaos in sudan where five aid workers have now been killed and world health officials are warning about a massive biological risk after a public health lab was taken over by fighters. abc foreign correspondent james longman is tracking the latest. this morning. a deepening humanitarian crisis. the united
7:08 am
nations confirming five un workers have now been killed in sudan. they call the situation a nightmare for ordinary citizens and aid workers alike, adding some aid workers have been attacked in their homes, beaten and held at gunpoint. this as the world health organization urgently warns of a huge biological risk after a public health lab in khartoum containing isolates of polio, measles and cholera was taken over by fighters. that is extremely, extremely dangerous. more countries are now rushing to evacuate citizens during a 72 hour ceasefire brokered by the us, france and the uk have staged large scale evacuations with military flights, while other evacuees face treacherous overland routes to reach port sudan and other border entry points hundreds of miles away. evacuees like dalia abdel-moneim , whose house in khartoum was struck by a missile. we went through like 4 to 5 different cities, and we have no food. security is estimated 16,000 americans remain in the country.
7:09 am
a state department says only 100 us citizens are seeking assistance and mass evacuations are, quote, incredibly risky. but san franciscan resident imad feels the us government should have done more to help get his parents out. we weren't expecting seal team six to come and save every american like that. we know that's not practical, but we weren't expecting guidance. support intel, anything really to help us make a critical life or death decision. so the countdown is now on to the end of the ceasefire. the us and other countries have just one more day to get everyone out who wants to leave. the sudanese, of course, are hoping for a much longer lasting resolution. george. a dire situation. okay, james, thanks very much. not opening statements in the aegean carol. civil case suit against donald trump. carol is accusing trump of assault and defamation. aaron katersky is at the courthouse with the story. good morning, aaron. george good morning to you. nearly 30 years after she says donald trump raped her, e jean carroll is expected to testify about it here later today carol is going to tell the
7:10 am
jury about the alleged attack that her attorney said lasted just a few minutes. but stayed with her forever. she claims she and trump were in a department store dressing room when trump allegedly banged the door closed and lunged at her. trump's attorney said it didn't happen, telling the jury, carol is advancing a false claim of rape for money for political reasons and for status. trump was not in court and his attorney said he still doesn't know whether trump will testify. the judge demanded to know this week, telling the defense it was time to fish or cut bait. trump has said, carol , is not his type, but her attorney said when trump saw this photo during a deposition, he pointed to carol and said, it's marla seeming to confuse carol for his second wife, marla maples. jury here is made up of six men and three women. trump's attorneys said they can hate donald trump, but they must express that at the ballot box, not here in a court of law.
7:11 am
lindsay all right. aaron katersky for us. thanks so much, aaron. now to new information in the colorado rock throwing attacks that killed a 20 year old woman. we're hearing from one of the victims for the first time. mola lenghi has the story this morning. investigators announcing the arrest of three suspects in connection with the death of alexa bartel. the 20 year old died after veering off the road when a large rock smashed through her windshield. we don't know how intentional if this was a kids pulling a prank, are we dealing with someone who is very calculated, what they're doing? any combination of those , the 318 year old suspects, all arrested at their homes? it's unclear if these arrests are related to the six other vehicles hit by rocks in a 45 minute span last wednesday. nathan tipton's minivan was also hit. the rock blowing out his rear window. all i could see was their headlights. it was dark road and then a large shatter. large. it sounded like a shotgun blast. scared the heck out of me. tipton, a rideshare driver
7:12 am
and father of three, was not injured, but he still wonders what if? what if i had a passenger and she got killed? the 318 year olds arrested face first degree murder and extreme indifference charges the jefferson county, colorado, sheriff's office says additional charges are expected to be filed against the three men. michael all right. mola, thank you so much for your reporting. we're going to turn now to new mortgage rules set to take effect. chief economic correspondent rebecca jarvis is here to break it down. good morning, rebecca. good morning, michael. and a lot of people are paying attention to these new rules because they do go into effect may 1st and they're part of an effort to make home buying more affordable for those who are limited by wealth or income . among these changes, people who have lower credit scores may get more of a break with those up front fees. when it comes to buying, people with higher credit scores will still pay less, but they may not get as much of a break. so in real terms, how this is going to look on a mortgage of $300,000, if you have a credit score of 659,
7:13 am
you could save about $3,750 in closing costs. whereas if scorer hier, you might pay $375 more. the urban institute says on average, this is going to be an increase of about $10 a month. most mortgages will not see a major impact. now, keep in mind, these new rules apply only to loans from fannie mae and freddie mac. critics say that it penalizes people with higher credit. they make them pay more. but the organization changing the rules, the federal housing finance agency, they say there are many factors in play, like the amount of money of a down payment and many borrowers may actually see no change at all. michael and rebecca, can you tell us more about the other big business headline that's out there? first republic bank, their shares tanked after the silicon valley bank failure. they did tank, then and then overnight they tanked again last night because of the fact that the worry is that this failure
7:14 am
that they are customers are rushing to take $100 million out of the bank overnight and over the time that silicon valley bank failed. the issue here, michael, is that that's looking backwards, looking forwards. the bank says that has stopped and that deposits are sound. michael all right. thank you so much for that, rebecca. we're going to do this morning. we are celebrating the life of harry belafonte. the legendary singer and actor was also a major figure in the civil rights movement. our deborah roberts is here with more. good morning, david. good morning, michael. the loss of a giant, he was once a janitor assistant but rose to become the epitome of elegance and sophistication. harry belafonte with that unmistakable raspy voice, was that rare entertainer who made his mark not only in hollywood, but for humanity. the first black actor to win an emmy. he went on to win grammy awards while also standing up for justice during the civil rights movement. that means that day will delight come and be wonder
7:15 am
for his voice like a call to prayer that is that journey that day like a man be one of the first solo artist ever to reach 1 million albums for his breakthrough album, calypso. in 1956, strike king, charismatic, talented harry belafonte broke barriers on screen and off for while but you through my work has been my friend by night and early, much of his life focused on the civil rights movement. a close friend of martin luther king jr. he would perform at some of his rallies. our great friend, one of the truly great artists of our age, harry belafonte, who will carry on the program in 1963. belafonte
7:16 am

8:06 am
executive at the company was redact before those messages were made public. carlson according to the paper, didn't like that quote. he told his colleagues that he wanted the world to know what he had said about the executive in a private message, mr. carlson said comments he had made about former president donald trump that he hated him passionately, that were in the court documents were said during a momentary spasm of anger. while the dislike of this executive was deep and enduring, the company became concerned that if those messages, the unredacted messages, became public, it would be an embarrassment to fox and michael. there was also a financial factor. quote, while mr. carlson's tucker carlson tonight was popular, it was also repelled to blue chip advertisers, which meant it wasn't providing a huge financial windfall to the network despite those high ratings. the paper said that carlson had also become toxic to some within the senior ranks of fox news itself. quote, mr. carlson, sometimes trafficked in
8:07 am
what critics, including some higher ups within fox felt was thinly veiled racism. on his show. and finally, according to the paper, one other factor was the way carlson saw himself within fox, quote, concern that the populist firebrand had come to believe himself bigger than the network. a cardinal sin in fox court chair rupert murdoch's empire. and was increasingly operating as his own island. carlson has not yet commented about any of this yet his firing or any of this that has come to light. lindsey, some fascinating revelations there. john, thank you. now to a close call on the train tracks. hero workers racing to save a young child who had wandered onto the tracks. will reeve is here with that story. good morning. well good morning, linsey. it's a nightmare scenario beyond comprehension for a parent, a child wandering off onto a live railroad track, heading right for the electrified third rail, touching it, meaning near certain tragedy. but enter the

8:24 am
morning to you. tell us about this report. so this was a small study published in the journal of the american medical association. they looked at 25 over-the-counter melatonin, gummy, gummy bear specimens, samples and found they were really looking at dosage. they were looking at purity. they were looking at contents with respect to the labeling. and what they found was that 88% of the samples they tested did not have a dose that was consistent with their labeling, completely different. some were lower, some were higher up to three and a half times higher than the label dose. so when you talk about something that is so commonly used and we've talked about this before, the reports for children accidentally ingesting these have skyrocketed. and we've seen melatonin, overdose calls in the pediatric age group go up significantly over approximately the last ten years by. 530. this has resulted in over 4000 pediatric hospitalizations. and tragically, two pediatric deaths. so you need to read
8:25 am
those labels and keep them away from kids and tell us what we need to know about melatonin and perhaps some other ways to help us fall asleep. well first of all, it's important to realize that this is not fda approved for sleep and anything, even if it's natural, can be potentially dangerous if given in the wrong dosage. this is our sleep hormone, and it's strongly regulated by our natural exposure to light. there is really a lack of evidence to support its use in healthy children. and if it is used in children on the advice of a pediatrician, that dose is usually less than one milligram. so read those labels and talk to your child's pediatrician. so helpful as always, jen, thank you. and now let's send it over to lara for a little pop. thanks. lan's great advice. jen and we're going to begin pop news with late actress carrie fisher, the star of the original star wars franchise, will finally get her own star on the hollywood walk of fame. her daughter, billie lourd, will accept the honor on her late mom's behalf on may the 4th. also known as star wars day here in the us. fisher of course, became a household name as
