Was locked and loaded, ready to retaliate over that attack on key Oil Facilities in saudi arabia. President trump now appears to be taking a different stance saying he wants to avoid war. Chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz has the latest there in washington. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, robin. The secretary of state is squarely pointing the finger at iran for the attacks and this morning, a senior official telling abc that a nearly intact Cruise Missile and drone were found which could be important evidence, but the president seems in no hurry to definitively pin the blame on iran or take any retaliatory action. The attack was brazen and highly sophisticated with more than 20 explosiveladen drones and nearly a dozen Cruise Missiles slamming into the Oil Facilities in saudi arabia leaving the Worlds Largest refinery smoldering. But after a weekend of strong words and warnings, President Trump now saying he suspects iran was behind the attacks but telling our jon karl he wants to be certain.

Accused iran of shooting down one of our drones, the u. S. Military was close to being locked and loaded for a retaliatory strike only to have the president shut it down because he said he was worried about loss of life. And there were those oil tankers the u. S. Said were struck by iran, as well. So what is his message to iran . I think ill have a stronger message or maybe no message at all when we get the final results of what were looking at but right now its too soon to say. Theres plenty of time. Theres no rush. Reporter this morning, iran is saying there is no chance that irans president will meet with President Trump next week at the u. N.

They tell us this is all about better wages, Better Benefits and sharing in that 8. 1 bon profit that gm made last year. A lot of these employees took concessions during that 2009 government bailout and they say that period is now over. Michael. And, alex, as this strike drags on toulde a bigger longterm impact. Reporter yeah, thats right. This is not just about the workers or the automaker. It could impact the economy. Each one of these employees experts say generates 6 to 7 jobs outside of the plant so that means suppliers, restaurants and other services. So if these employees are cutting back it could impact the greater economy overall. Michael. All right, a lot of people depending on the deal. Thank you so much, alex. Amy.

Reporter a Maintenance Worker from the building reporting a gas odor monday morning. Employees evacuating. This morning, as authorities sift through the rubble, employees are calling that Maintenance Worker who reported the odor a hero.

Ginger back from l. A. Tracking it all for us. Good morning, ginger. Good morning to you, robin. Some of the numbers we saw, 50 to 76mileperhour gusts, this is the francis fire. Its just south of salt lake city. This was about 200 acres burning and they did have those evacuations in place but then the front passed and the threat lifted and they lifted the evacuations. I think there could be more today. Theres a front diving to the south so there is a high wind warning for gusts up to 65 Miles Per Hour in parts of wyoming and the red flag warnings exist still in southeastern utah. This is going to keep moving to the east and we have to worry about the tropics which ill tell you about in a bit. Michael. Now to breaking new developments in the vaping crisis.

S. Centers for Disease Control is putting together its best minds, activating an Emergency Operations center in response to the cases of lung injury associated with ecigarette product use or vaping. Their latest numbers, six people dead across six states and 380 cases of lung illness reported across 36 states and the u. S. Virgin islands. Health officials from coast to coast are encouraging ecigarette users to stop vaping until they can figure out what is causing people to get sick. Amy. Yeah, we certainly hope people will heed those warnings. Steve, thank you. Now to that possible medical breakthrough. Researchers at Stanford University and ucsf making a big discovery that could help lead to a cure for the common cold. Dr. Ashton is here with all the details. All right, dr. Ashton, tell me about this scientific advance. Is it a cure . Not yet, but possibly. And we need to tell our grandmas, you can put the garlic away because it does look like theyre on to something here. In the past the virus that causes the common cold is sneaky. So it evades targeting. We cant disable that virus. What they did at ucsf and stanford is, they actually targeted the receiver of the virus so, if you think of it like this lock and key, if the lock is actually the cell that gets infected, the key is the virus. Instead of disabling this, they disabled the protein on the cell that is found to be nonessential so that virus cannot infect those cells. Not just important for the common cold but also that enterovirus which has been implicated in that acute flaccid myelitis. Very, very interesting research. What are the next steps . Not ready for prime time. This was tested in mice and have to develop a drug that blocks the protein in cells and they have to test it so until that time, wash your hands, sneeze into your arm, and maybe keep listening to grandma for a little while longer. All right, jen, thank you. Always listen to grandma and you too, jen. New trouble for Antonio Brown, the embattled nfl star facing multiple new allegations this morning accused of Sexual Misconduct, refusing to pay former employees. Paula faris has the latest details. Reporter this morning, more accusations against Antonio Brown. A new allegation has surfaced involving another claim of Sexual Misconduct by the new England Patriots star. According to an article published monday in Sports Illustrated, an unnamed female artist accuses him of unwanted advances while she was painting a mural of him at his pittsburgh home two years ago. She alleges that while she was working kneeling down in front of a wall in front of browns house, she turned around to find him standing behind her naked except for a hand towel. She told him to stop, she went back to work and told him she was not interested in his advances. Reporter according to s. I. , the woman is not pursuing charges for remuneration, though she was bothered by his alleged behavior. Browns lawyer responding on social media tweeting, Antonio Brown has reviewed the Sexual Misconduct allegations made by an unnamed artist included in a recently published Sports Illustrated article and denies that he ever engaged in such activities. The article also raises questions about browns character, detailing various lawsuits against him in which hes accused of refusing to pay several past employees for their work and their services. According to Sports Illustrated, brown is named in a half dozen lawsuits for unpaid debts. Abc news has obtained three of those complaints which include a doctor, a former personal assistant and a trainer, all saying brown stiffed them for thousands. The pattern seems to be that Antonio Brown asks these people to do work for him and charms them into entering a business relationship with him and when the bill comes due Antonio Brown often goes awol. Reporter brown already facing a civil lawsuit in his former trainer, brittany taylor, who on monday met with nfl officials after accusing him of three instances of Sexual Assault including rape in 2018.

Reporter and browns lawyer says they will not be commenting any further on the new allegations as reported in Sports Illustrated. As for britney taylor, who met with League Officials on monday, the information gathered, it is crucial in determining the leagues next steps. You guys, they could still bench him. Remember, the league at the end of the day has the final say. Well see what happens. Thank you, paula. Now to a saturday night live shakeup. The show firing one of its new cast members before he even appeared on the broadcast. This comes after past racist remarks surfaced. Chris connelly is tracking the latest from los angeles. Good morning to you, chris. Reporter and good morning, michael. The news coming down on monday. Comic shane gillis out at snl after just a few days amid a firestorm of criticism. From the Stormy Daniels allegations stormy, this is michael cohen. Are you alone . Yes. And what are you wearing . Reporter to the opioid crisis. I want to use heroin. But i also want to get stuff done. Reporter saturday night live doesnt steer clear of controversy in its sketches. Recent days, though, have seen snl dealing with its own controversy. The show declaring in a statement on monday it is dropping one of its new hires, 31yearold standup comic shane gillis. I took skoal out of my mouth to come up here. And i didnt vote for donald trump. It makes me like the Nelson Mandela of central pennsylvania. Reporter but a video of gillis from about a year ago surfaced from matt and shanes secret podcast in which he mocked and mimicked a chinese accent and referred to asian people in chinatown with a slur. Reaction immediate and unfavorable. Gillis issued an initial statement saying, im happy to apologize to anyone whos actually offended by anything i said. I am trying to be the best comedian i can be, and sometimes that requires risks. Pablo s. Torre of espns high noon tweeting it was only a risk because you and your hack friend are dumb enough to record it. Enter democratic president ial candidate andrew yang. In a series of tweets on saturday, yang excoriated antiasian racism and slurs but after going through gillis work yang says he does not strike me as malignant or evil. I do not think he should lose his job. We would benefit from being more forgiving rather than punitive. The show opted otherwise, announcing his removal on monday, saying, we were not aware of his prior remarks. The language he used is offensive, hurtful and unacceptable. Gillis issuing a statement saying he respects the decision but it feels ridiculous for comedians to be making serious public statements but here we are. Im a comedian who was funny enough to get snl. That cant be taken away. Many on social media praised the decision. Former snl cast member Rob Schneider did not, tweeting, i am sorry you had the misfortune of being a cast member during this era of cultural unforgiveness. Many different perspectives. Snls new hires do include bowen yang who will become the first chineseamerican cast member in the shows soontobe 45 seasons on the air. As for president ial candidate andrew yang, he tweeted that he hopes to sit down with gillis soon. Guys. Well see if that happens. All right, thanks so much, chris.

Were coming on the air at this hour with with breaking news and it is sad news for all of us here at abc. Our longtime colleague and friend, Cokie Roberts, has passed away at the age of 75 from complications from Breast Cancer. A pioneer in political journalism, a best selling author and historian, a devoted mother and grandmother. She has been a mainstay of abcs political coverage. Her insight invaluable, her remarkable career spanning decades, facing off with president s and political leaders. Her interviews with first ladies. She was a coanchor and contributor of abcs this week. Cokie roberts grew up with a front row seat to washington and democracy. Her father, hail bogs, was a House Majority lead terror died in a plane crash. Cokie who considered the Family Business decided to report on it, write about it, witness it along with the rest of us. She had a brilliant mind matched only by her kindness, her grace, her wit. Heres Robin Roberts on the trailblazing legacy of Cokie Roberts. Reporter shes been a fixture behind the news desk for over 40 years. Were following two major stories tonight. Reporter reporting on the stories that shaped generations. President clintons problems with Gennifer Flowers reporter journalism was her calling, but politics, well, that was cokies passion. As a reporter and author, she trail blazed her way through an industry where women were just breaking through. Her full name was mary Martha Corrine morrison claiborne roberts. But anyone who knew her affectionately called her cokie. Thank you for having me and please call me cokie. I will. Im from the south too. Reporter born in louisiana in 1943, Cokie Roberts was the daughter of longtime u. S. Representatives hail and lindy boggs who served the people of new orleans for 46 years. The other women who were in washington when i was growing up, we watched them run everything. We watched them run the Political Conventions, campaigns. Reporter through her parents, she enjoyed a front row seat to history and politics which shaped her interest in washington. Learning the world of congress the way other children learned to walk and talk. As a young girl, she considered joining the Family Business, but in college her interest in journalism was strengthened by her future husband, steve roberts. But her love and close ties to washington were never far behind. President lyndon b. Johnson famously even attended her wedding i 1966. She began working as an anchor in washington at 21, and shortly after headed to new york to work as a reporter. It was essentially reporting and then writing very brief little stories, and i loved it. Reporter before landing at National Public radio as a political commentator announcer from abc News Reporter but in 1988, she found her home right here. The American People dont want this to go on. He cant do another i didnt inhale and i wasnt ever drafted. Reporter at abc news working as a contributor on this week, cokies razor sharp mind your definition of womanizing. Most women know it when they see it, senator. Reporter matched only by her infinite kindness when the cameras stopped rolling. Three cameras here. You must be a very important person. Oh, i dont know about that. Reporter and always, always a smile, that giggle, her sense of humor. This week would become her home, coanchoring the show with Sam Donaldson from 1996 until 2002. From there she would become a staple of abc news political coverage, interviewing president s, politicians, and first ladies, embodying the idea of journalistic integrity and female empowerment. I hate to say it, jon, but its a female thing. Women do Work Together a lot. Much more so than their husbands. Much more so than men. Thank you, thank you. Reporter she would write several New York Times best sellers, recounting the untold and remarkable contributions of women in american history. When i started out in the world of work, it was illegal for women to become generals or admirals. So theres a huge change in the years that ive been plowing this turf. Reporter received countless awards, bye sighted as one of the 50 greatest women in the history of broadcasting, and hold more than 30 honorary degrees, inspiring students with words at commencements all across the country. You must look at the institutions of government, politics, business, the academy, journalism, and hold them accountable to the people they are supposed to serve. Reporter in 2002, battling Breast Cancer and bravely facing going on the air wearing a wig. I felt going on the air in a wig that i looked really goofy and Election Night 2002 it was my best wig. It was the human hair wig, not the synthetic hair wig, and i thought it just looked awful, so i dont know, its hard. Reporter cokie, always the inspiration for those who have the privilege and were blessed to work by her side. She made each one of her fellow colleagues better by always striving for the best and by always remembering and reminding us all to keep the compassion in journalism. Thank you for your support. Its important. Reporter Cokie Roberts, the beloved mother of two, grandmother of six, and a legend to us all. And she is certainly going to be missed. Im going to bring in now george stephanopoulos, of course a colleague and a friend. George, as you know, cokie never missed an Election Night, an inauguration, a political roundtable, a political special report and you were there alongside her for so much of it. I was thinking how much i missed her just last thursday at the debate. I actually emailed her a few hours before the debate saying i wish you were here, couldnt wait to hear your perspective on all the candidates. She shot right back to me saying how much she missed being there as well. But she was a fixture. She was a pioneer, and to go back to that phrase, she never really left the Family Business because the Family Business for Cokie Roberts for her family was not just politics but Public Service in the broadest sense of the word and she brought that spirit to her journalism. I mean, she really knew the world, knew that entire world so deeply from the inside. She knew the players. She knew the institutions, she knew how the system worked, and she had such a gift for translating that, for bringing that to all of our viewers, all of her listeners on npr, explaining what was going on in washington in a way that makes sense. Thats why she was a fixture on all of our broadcasts, whether it was Election Night, midterm elections, state funerals, inaugurations, conventions. She knew everyone. She knew the issues. She knew it all. She delivered and she communicated with such a charm and everyone has said it, robin said it in her piece, i worked side by side with cokie for so many years as you saw in robins piece. Ive also had to face her sometimes and that wasnt always so much fun being on the other side of Cokie Roberts but what was always a pleasure and has always been a pleasure is just being by her side as a friend, as a colleague. Infinite kindness, warmth. The first question would be how are your kids . She knew it was important and she communicated that. Yes, her family was most important above and beyond all politics. George, thank you so much for those thoughts. I want to bring in longtime colleague and friend Sam Donaldson. I know youre joining us by phone. I would love to hear your thoughts, your fondest memories of cokie. Well, what a loss. We think the great ones are always going to be there and when someone like cokie is gone, its going to break our hearts whether we want it to or not. We all loved her. George has been correct in talking about her many skills. She was a great reporter. She knew washington. She was from new orleans. She was born in the capital, she said, and her father, hail boggs, majority leader for so long. Lyndon johnson attended her wedding. She knew everybody in town. Theres a side of her and you got a glimpse of it in the piece that we just heard, on the David Brinkley show, cokie was a wonderful addition to that program, george, i and david, the guys, we needed her, and finally we got her. Ill never forget the day when john tower, then nominated to be secretary of defense, he was under heavy criticism from his critics on capitol hill though. He came to the brinkley show and announced without being asked we hadnt had a chance to do it that he would give up alcohol because people said he drank too much if he were confirmed. I said, senator, a lot of your critics say youre also a womanizer. He said whats a womanizer . I fumbled around and cokie spoke up and fixed him with a steely glare and said, senator, i know one when i see one. And i mean, he was punctured. She did so many things that were tough and take no prisoners. I recall another time, the clinton problem with the white house intern, mr. Clintons private lawyer, not his white house lawyer, came to the brinkley show one day and had to defend the fact that the clinton camp was saying oral sex was not sex because he had famously said he had had no sexual occasions with that woman. Cokie looked at him and said, sir, you think you can convince your wife of that . Once again, the poor guy, a very fine lawyer, got up during the break, tried to find the door and walked into one of the lights and almost knocked it over in the studio. She was certainly, sam, a voice and a perspective that this country needed and will always remember. We thank you for your thoughts of Cokie Roberts on this sad day. Thank you so much. I want to bring in Martha Raddatz who worked alongside Cokie Roberts for nearly 30 years, martha. I did, amy, and her office riebt n right now is just down the hall from mine. She is just an extraordinary woman. George said, she knew it all but she was never a knowitall. It was her office where you would go if you were having a bad day. It was her office if you wanted to talk about something personal. When cokie was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2002, she was asked if that gave her a new perspective. She said she didnt need one because family was always first, and it was always first. We spent a great deal of time talking about our grandchildren, talking about our children. The thing that strikes me is how cokie wanted to contribute until the very end. Like george, i was in touch with her just days ago, last week, about the houston debate. She wanted to be there. She appeared on this week a month ago and it was clear she was having some health issues, but cokie said, i dont want this disease to get the better of me. Well, ill tell you, no disease will get the better of Cokie Roberts. She may have passed away but she was the best, amy. That is so true, martha. Thank you for sharing those beautiful thoughts. I want to turn now to jon karl. I know you have so many memories of working with Cokie Roberts on those countless Political Convention floors. Oh, absolutely. When i think of politics, i think of Cokie Roberts. When i came to abc news more than 15 years ago, i was in awe of Cokie Roberts. She was somebody that i admired, i watched growing up. I couldnt think of things like a national Political Convention without thinking of Cokie Roberts there on the floor, being more recognizable than the people that she was interviewing. She told me i interviewed her on the floor of the 2016 democratic convention. She told me it was her 22nd national Political Convention. I think that may be a record. But she was a mentor, a friend, incredibly generous colleague. Just a little over a week ago she took my daughter emily out to lunch. That was Cokie Roberts, somebody who would reach out and mentor young journalists. She was certainly somebody that guided me through my first days at abc news. I miss her already. I love Cokie Roberts. Thank you so much, jonathan, for sharing that. We want to bring in terry moran who also worked alongside cokie for so many years. Terry, i want to hear your thoughts on this sad day. Well, amy, she was a National Treasure. Cokie roberts, one of the great political journalists, and we experience that every day, that brilliant intelligence. As george pointed out, she brought that remarkable personal and family history. Her dad was majority leader of the house of representatives. She knew everybody in washington for decades. As robin pointed out in the piece, that laugh, she brought a kind of sheer joy at the human comedy of american politics. She never lost a sense of fun about it all while never yielding to any kind of cynicism. She was an idealist, a fierce anticipa patriot. I also want to mention her faith. She was a devout catholic and those of us who worked with her on some of those stories know how important her faith was to her, how much she lived it. She was somebody who walked the walk of the gospels. One of the things youve heard a lot is how kind she was to everyone. I went through a hard time in my own life, in my own faith life, and i will never forget how cokie was so understanding and so warm and so supportive. And i am not the only one. Shes not only a National Treasure, shes one of the greatest human beings ive ever known and im not the only person who would say that. Her loss is a very deep one for all of us who loved her, for those who watched her, and for the country i think. Her kindness superceded all of her other many qualities. Terry moran, thanks so much. I want to bring in senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce. Weve been talking about her kindness and certainly she was a champion of women and she was a mentor to you, was she not . Amy, she was a mentor to me and to so, so many of us. When i was assigned to cover capitol hill, a role that she famously covered for more than a decade, she was the first person to reach out with advice and encouragement. When i came back to work after having my son, cokie was there, one of the first people with more advice and encouragement because her family was always, always the priority. Cokie waslways there for me and so many other young women and men, pushing us to do better, not just supporting us but also pushing us in our reporting. She would often send out a note and fire back a couple questions trying to make our own reporting better. She never stopped questioning and her curiosity was simply limitless. Just what an amazing example that set for all of us. As terry was saying, she found such great joy in covering all of it, especially capitol hill. She was very blunt about the fact that that was her side of washington. She loved congress. It was in her blood. She shared that joy with all of us. She understood uniquely, i think, how difficult it is to really roll up your stooeleeves create change in washington and that informed her reporting deeply. She had this intense sense of civic duty. She was raised with it and she fulfilled her civic duty through educating voters, through her very no nonsense style. That is the legacy that she leaves with me and a lesson that she has shared with so, so many of us at abc and throughout the reporting world. Mary, real quickly, tell us what youll miss most about Cokie Roberts. Oh gosh. The quick notes of encouragement, but when she would always reach out and tell us, what about this, why is it that official, have you pushed him on this. She covered congress for so long and never stopped covering congress. She encged u to be better and also her advice about how to juggle it all, survive in washington, how to manage it. Sitting next to her in the makeup room, the first question would be how is your family, how is everyone at home. She looked out for all of us and its something that made not just abc but made all of us so much better. Certainly true. I think truer words were never spoken. Thank you for that, mary. We have lost a National Treasure on this day and our hearts and our prayers and our thoughts go out toed fami the family of cok roberts. We are here to remember our incredible legacy.

Whats up, sara . Im here. Were going to start out with some music news. We begin with rapper lizzo. She must be feeling good as hell this morning. I n say that, i think. Her charttopping single truth hurts is spending its third week at number one on the billboard chart and that puts her in some good company. Lizzo just tied the record with her hustlers costar cardi b for longest running number one song by a solo female rapper. When lizzo found out the news she took to Instagram Stories and posted the headline simply adding a mind blown emoji. I think its safe to say, truth doesnt hurt. Lizzo, thats awesome. [ applause ] yeah. And now to a special visitor to nasa. Brad pitt stopped by nasas Operations Center in washington, d. C. , to speak with astronaut nick haig who is currently aboard the International Space station. Pitt is playing an astronaut in his latest film ad astra and he had an important question for haig. Check it out. Now that i have you all the way up at the space station, lets talk about me. How did we do . How was our zero g . I got to tell you, it was really good. I got to imagine it was a lot easier for me to kind of enjoy the zero g than it was you whether it was cgi or hook to strings. Now, that have you guys ever done that . No. I would, though. I would totally do that. But not in space. Well, no, just in a safe little room in a nasa center. I dont have time for a big space retreat. But finally, maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks. How about breakdancing. This pup is putting his best paw forward on the dance floor. Deejay, lets give him some music. Here we go. The person who caught the dancing duo said the break dancers have been putting on a show in the park for years and the dogs are super friendly but this one just wanted the spotlight so badly that he started dancing. Or hes scratching. No, i was going to say you know what that move is called, the scoot and spin. [ laughter ] wait, we can call that break dancing if youd like. Really using our imagination calling that something more than it is. Right. [ laughter ] thank you. My dog does that, doesnt yours . Im not going there. Im good. Thank you, sara.

James van der beek tangoing to the top of the leaderboard and sailor brinkleycook stepping into her moms shoes and ginger got to go backstage and got the fly all night just to join us here. Lucky you. I love a good red eye. Its so nice to be here. Sailor brinkleycook, im going to tell you we all have to get used to saying that name because she seamlessly jumped into the competition after her mom broke her arm in rehearsal. I think she has quite the future on the show. But last night, the light was really shining too on james van der beek. An electric night on the dance floor, james van der beek nailing his dance with the highest score of the night. Whatever it takes thank you. Reporter but last night it was all about sailor brinkleycook dancing in place of her mom. After this devastating moment during rehearsal. Oh, my god, my arm, my arm. My arm. I think i broke my arm. I swear to god. Reporter her daughter stepping in. This has been such an emotional roller coaster. I have to say from the moment it happened, i hate disappointing anybody. I didnt want to disappoint val, my family, my friends, you know. And i thought, what can i do . I have to find the Silver Lining and sailor ended up being the golden Silver Lining coming to my rescue. Reporter sailor starting the routine whispering to her mom, this ones for you. You are magnetic and have that radiance but theres something in you. Did you feel any of that tonight . It was for my mom and being up there and getting out of that car to uptown girl, i was like, seeing her face, she immediately like it made everything worth it. It made the rush of it all. Reporter her mom sitting on the sidelines cheering her through the routine that she had practiced for weeks. Sailor stunning after just three days. So proud. With only three days to practice, sailor, you floated my boat. Youve got the look, youve got the light. But you have the talent. Reporter christie overcome with emotion. I wish i was still part of the cast not wring one. But since it did turn out this way, the Silver Lining is just amazing, and these two just killed it tonight. In the most beautiful, beautiful way. [ applause ] shes definitely going to do well. Yes. But i have to tell you during dress rehearsals i was watching from above and somebody had a hat on. I thought is that gleb or is that one of the pros, it was james van der beek. Thats how good he is, you guys. He is moving like i dont know if he does a lot of yoga. Look at that. I saw his high kicks. His flexibility, the way he gets i dont know. Hes super charming on top of that all. Mary wilson also surprised me. I saw her dress rehearsal. She is a supreme. She brought it. Oh, yeah. Im telling you, remember, shes 75 years old. Look at her. Its as if shes put on a show before. Shes great. I loved watching all of it. Dancing with the stars airs monday nights at 8 00 p. M. , 7 00 central on abc. You dont want to miss it. Of course, next monday and thats where youre going to find out how theyll do eliminations. Will you do another red eye . No, im done. Its over. All right, rob, over to you. Good to have you back. Now to that health alert. A new study about sleep finding teenage girls with irregular sleep schedules have an increased risk of obesity. Dr. Jen ashton is back. To help explain all this. The study, there were 800 boys and girls. Heres a study appeared in jama pediatrics and they gave the teenagers trackable wristbands, followed their sleep behaviors over a period of time and analyzed the data, they were looking at two interesting variable something called chronotype and social jet lag and thats how we modify our sleep schedule based on something thats going on in our social lives. What we do during the week versus the weekends. The findings were interesting and they found out for girls just a onehour difference in their social jet lag, this is the amount of time that not that they were asleep but when they went to sleep and when they woke up resulted in a larger waist circumference on average, about 1. 2 centimeters larger and a higher body fat percentage. They did not find these findings in boys and this was independent of the total amount of sleep these teenagers got. The implications are for Heart Disease and the risk factors. What should parents do . Listen, i think we need to prioritize sleep. I say it over and over again. Sleep has a pr problem. We look at it like its fluff. It is a medical necessity. The most important thing for sleep hygiene stick to a regular schedule. That means on the weekends basically what you do during the week, make your environment cold, dark and quiet. Power down off those devices especially important for teens about an hour before bed and minimize what youre eating and what youre drinking also an hour before bed because we need that sleep and teens need it even more. I got a blackout shade a couple of months ago. Life changing. Unbelievable. You can tell a difference. Oh. [ laughter ] thank you. [ cheers and applause ] oh. Oh, please. Michael. What about you . Blackout shade, i looked like i just blacked out. Now to our gma parenting alert and the question this morning, do parents really know best . A Silicon Valley educator says letting kids take more responsibility for their lives and education could be the key to success. Its all part of a new book, prepared and becky worley is here with the details. Hey, becky. Good morning, michael. So many folks want their kids to be educated the way that they were educated and so many people parent the way they were parented but the world has changed so fast, how could we raise our kids differently to truly prepare them for life . This high schooler is cooking dinner for his parents. Its a simple task and yet in many families its unheard of. Educator and chefs mom Diane Tavenner says its a strategy to start him on the process of adulting and getting parents to let go. My husband and i had to look at each other and say, who cares if he burns dinner. Theres always cereal. You know. Well be fine. Reporter tavenners written a book on what shes learned from starting the Summit School system. A projectbased learning environment where kids take control of their education and learn with real world tasks. Im able to find my own opinions and be my own person in this society. I feel like im able to contribute better to the society by like learning here in these classrooms. Reporter jonathan who is interested in Environmental Science the feeling that my mom and dad are interested in what im doing is what i really like. Thats when i really open up to them about things like that. Reporter tavenners secret sauce teaching kids to take responsibility early. Something all parents can work on. I think the most alarming thing for me is when we as parents get caught in the trap of doing it for our kids. Reporter first, stop doing everything for them. So what did you do well this time . Reporter next, embrace the process. Definitely hamburgers are better. The key there is developing habits. And so what it takes as a parent is a relentlessness around instilling a habit and then practicing it every single day. Reporter and know that its not going to be perfect. When were trying to give our kids independence sometimes we as parents accidentally undermine them. The one right way problem that we have as parents and, you know, its normal and human that we think the way we do things is the right way to do things and thats not always true actually and even if it is, we forget that we had to find out and discover and figure out the right way. Reporter as teens mature releasing the controls and letting them make small mistakes to learn independence and eventually be prepared. Her new book is out today and the process that tavenner lays out, i summarize it as look up, ask your child what their purpose is, then look forward, make a plan with them and then after theyre working on whatever this behavior they want to change, look back and reflect with them. Letting go of control has been pretty powerful for me. I like having kids have a little more responsibility. I do think it leads to probably better earlier adjusted adult. Adulting. All right. We both got a lot to figure out, becky. I can tell you that much. Now over to ginger who has it all figured out. Whats up . Hardly but thank you. How about we do a gma moment followup. Remember the girls we surprised with tickets to the premiere of dancing with the stars. Well, they were there last night. I still cannot believe it. Good luck, everybody. All right. We are partying, partying like its 1999. Yes. This week because gma came to times square in 1999 and were celebrating.

Thank you for joining us. [ applause ] well, it seems like these days, everybody gets ghosted. But is ghosting more common now than it used to be. It is more common because its easier to do. Right . Its easier than having that tough conversation with somebody. Thats going to result in emotions and conflict, right . Ghosting is just vanishing abruptly. It could be in a romantic relationship. But in a friendship as well. Its like the ultimate cruel use of the silent treatment. You get no closure. You get to ask no questions. Its painful. Its painful, right. Why do we handle it so badly because it is painful . Social rejection and ghosting, it activates the same pathways in the brain as physical pain so when somebody vanishes you can feel like youre punched in the face, kicked in the stomach. It just hurts. It makes you question yourself at your core. Okay, so trying to help somebody here, red flags, maybe youre dating somebody, talking to somebody, are there red flags can you look for to see if theyre a ghoster. If this person has bragged about ghosting people in the past theyre probably going to ghost you if theyre flaky or inconsistent and most importantly if they were super into you in the beginning but now suddenly theyre busy and the communication is dwindling off, thats ripe for a ghosting situation. You know how many people at home going hmm. [ laughter ] all right, and last but not least, if you are ghosted, how do you recommend people handle it . Be around people that elevate you that are going to make you feel good about yourself. Dont take this personally and dont question your selfworth and look at this as a blessing in disguise. This person told you, i cannot have a healthy, adult relationship because relationships have conflict, right . You dodged a bullet and dont let the ghost spook you out of having good relationships, open yourself up and move on. That is right. [ applause ] that is so right. Open up, move on. I was going to ask, anybody here ever been ghosted . Anybody here ever been ghosted . Theyre like, yeah, not going to raise their hands. Everybodys been ghosted. Thats right. Hey, thank you so much for the advice. Really appreciate it. Now over to ginger who, you know, woo where were you ten years ago . I was raising my hand over here. Okay, all right.
