Family reunion from our home to yours, everyone you know and love from 40 years of gma is back right here live this morning. And good morning, america. What a special morning here in times square. Look upstairs. We got a gma hall of fame upstairs, joan, charlie, diane walking in this morning. Thats not all. Theres sam and spencer. Whats wonderful, theyre excited to see each other. Were excited to see them. Everybody up in the green room. We were almost late getting down here to the set. We got a lot of fun to look ford but like every morning for the last 40 we have to start with the news. Lots of new developments in europe. We begin with that breaking news. The dramatic video from paris, our first look this morning at one of those attacks on a restaurant. Dailymail. Com obtaining the Surveillance Footage and abcs matt gutman starts us off with that in paris. Good morning, matt. I want you to see how many bullets blasted through the facade of this restaurant. Right across the street a second attack. People killed there. What that chilling video allows us to see is exactly how these attacks worked and why miraculously no one was killed here. This morning, the first terrifying look from multiple angles inside the terrorist attacks that shattered paris. Its just past 9 30 when the glass begins to spray. This video obtained by the daily mail diners duck under tables as that gunman in red moves methodically outside. That woman in the coat bolting back inside followed by that man lunging for cover. You can see the gunman shooting his kalashnikov rifle from the head spraying bullet, then he spots a terrified diner crouching in fear and moves in for the kill shot pointing the Assault Rifle at point blank range but something happens. His gun seems to jam. He jogs to that black hatchback and drives off. Then watch. First one woman rises, miraculously saved and bolts. Then another. This was the fourth attack out of the six raking paris friday night and perhaps the most revealing and disturbing images since. A different angle shows the bartenders in conversation and then an explosion of glass. One of them heads for the basement as the bullets fly and glass shatters and watch this. Thatoman in the coat springing for cover under the bar, the female bartender there protectively covering her head. Once the gunman has gone, another man comes in and herds the patrons into the basement. Now, the man you see so calmly shooting that ak47 from his hip, french authorities have identified him Salah Abdeslam, but french Authorities Say he could still be on the run, robin and george. Oh, that is just stunning. When you see that footage, it does. Boy, it sure does. Raids overnight hunting for more Terror Networks and we are learning more about that massive raid outside paris wednesday that stopped another attack. Killed two terrorists with dna tests trying to determine if one was the mastermind. Abdelhamid abaaoud, world news anchor david muir on the scene outside of paris. Good morning, david. Reporter george, robin, good morning to you and we have just learned that french authorities have been given broader powers, the state of emergency extended to moments ago to three more months which really allows them to go into the homes, search them and detain people if needed. That raid we talked about happened just here behind me and are learning this morning belgium prosecutors confirming they have received dna samples. Theyll be testing them and, george, as you alluded to the they not catch the mastermind . This morning, a french prosecutor now says the daring and deadly raid here in this suburban paris neighborhood could very well have stopped another terror plot from unfolding. That paris prosecutor saying this offensive deep inside the saintdenis neighborhood before the sun came up was able to stop a terror cell in its tracks and had the weaponry and will to carry out another attack. Under cover of darkness s. W. A. T. Teams of more than 100 officers zeroed in on this Apartment Building wednesday where cell phone recording and eyewitness accounts placed a man they considered the mastermind of the attacks here in paris on the third floor of this building, an apartment, a safe house for the man behind the plot. A fierce gun battle breaking out. By 4 45 police equipped with snipers, grenades and Assault Rifles storming through the reinforced doors they came upon trying to barrel into the apartment facing off with several suspects inside including the woman who investigators believe might have been related to the mastermind, Abdelhamid Abaaoud. She would blow herself up, detonating a suicide vest. Terrified neighbors telling us they heard and saw the horror hidden and barricaded behind their own windows. What was it like listening to that. I was very scared. I considered the possibility that could be the end of my life. Reporter though police cordoned off the neighborhood we went to get a closer look climbing on to a roof across the street, the scope of the destruction in plain sight. Not only is every window blown out but you can see the signs of impact against the cement wall there behind us. At least two terror suspects dead including the woman who blew herself up and this morning forensic tests under way to determine if abaaoud, the man behind the plan according to authorities is one of the dead. A Senior Administration official at the white house telling abc news that the u. S. Awaits confirmation from the french make any announcement. And as you can see, robin and george, we were actually able to make it to that building climbing up on to that roof and can you can see the sheer firepower the building essentially destroyed and windows blown out and one woman on the floor below said it was so loud she thought the ceiling would cave in on her clutching her baby in the bathroom and one final note from authorities here and its chilling. They said they had the weaponry, the will inside that building, that cell willing to plan out another attack. They said neutralizing a possible terror plan here in paris. We know youll have much more tonight on world news tonight. Thats the situation abroad. Here at home, the threat here at home with isis rereleasing that video showing scenes from new york city. Including right here in times square. Officials quickly responding overnight and abcs brian ross is here with that, good morning, brian. Good morning, robin. New york city officials felt compelled to go on the offensive after that newly released isis propaganda video praised the paris attacks and made a brief passing remark to new york city. As the rockettes opened their famed christmas shows and the holiday window displays went up at the Big Department store, the citys mayor and Police Commissioner hastily called reporters to times square late last night to say there is nothing to fear from isis. Be aware but do not be afraid. The nypd will protect you. Reporter it was all a reaction to less than 20 seconds of scenes in a newly released isis video that showed a suicide bomb in times square. Scenes that had appeared in previous isis videos and went largely unnoticed. But having made good on its threats to attack paris, every isis video now is given close scrutiny by Law Enforcement everywhere and now isis is showing off the bomb it says passenger yet. A misleadingly simple device with components costing no more than 50, a swept soda can packed with explosives, a tiny detonator with a blasting cap and switch and timer to set it off. Close the switch and arm the timer to start its countdown and, boom. Reporter bomb experts say it can produce a blast much more powerful than the one in this government test. The russian jet blew up 22 minutes after takeoff. Based on the location of the wreckage u. S. Authorities believe the bomb was likely placed in the rear luggage hold of the plane by an isis infiltrator. In its online post isis boasted it smuggled the bomb on to the russian jet after it discovered a way to compromise the security at the Sharm El Sheikh airport in egypt and produced passports of some of the russian victims somehow retrieved by isis at the scene of the crash. U. S. Officials say current screening machines should pick up a soda can bomb like the type used against the russian jet but their concern is the machines wont mean a thing if someone on the inside finds a way to put a bomb on the plane robin. Thats a point. So chilling, they have the passports. Really bad. Thank you. Robin, more on this now from our consultant matt olsen former head of the National Counterterrorism center. We saw those videos in times square and washington but that doesnt mean there is an active plan in place. Yeah, that is right, george. Weve seen this over the past year from isis, this type of propaganda video. It doesnt necessarily mean theres any credibility behind this. The challenge is that isis over the past year has put out propaganda really advising, exhorting its followers in the United States even just individuals to try to carry out at least smallscale attacks and keeping counterterrorism officials on edge. We know the french officials interrogating those eight arrested yesterday. Determine and what will they be doing inside those rooms . In those rooms theyre certainly asking the questions of those suspects, who else was involved . Were there other plots . Theyre going through the cell phones, the other things they were able to get from the apartment because the key question right now is, are there other attacks . The counterterrorism officials in france right now are worried about other attacks that might be planned and thats the number one priority for them. The other key question weve seen especially in france with both the Charlie Hebdo attacks and now this one, the suspect, these terrorists falling through the cracks even though they had been identified as possibly dangerous by french officials. Right, this just shows what officials in europe are up against. The numbers, thousands of europeans traveling to syria, its just a huge challenge for these security services. Okay, matt olsen, thanks very much. All right, george. Now well move on and talk about whats happening in iraq. Thats where the fight is really being taken to isis and our Martha Raddatz is there with that side of the story. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, robin. These bulletriddled humvees are all American Made given to Iraqi Security forces when we left, they were then stolen by isis and recovered by kurdish forces. Thats whats happening on the ground here in iraq while those air strikes continue. Day four of withering air strikes on isis targets in syria, russian aircraft flying 65 bombing runs claiming to have destroyed numerous isis weapons depots, command centers and rows of oil tankers, the oil used to fund their war chest. This as the french Aircraft Carrier Charles De Gaulle moves closer to the syrian coast. French fighter jets focusing their sights on isis Training Camps and command centers. Here in iraq, where the u. S. Has been conducting thousands of air strikes and in syria, the u. S. Military expressing concern wednesday over russias tactics, those largescale missions with socalled dumb bombs antiquated suggesting the russian strikes show little regard for civilians below. The u. S. Top military adviser general Joseph Dunford defending the more discriminate national u. S. Approach saying theyre very careful in terms of civilian casualties and that he will not apologize for that. Whatever happens with those russian air strikes, the forces here want all of the air strikes to continue and intensify. Robin and george. All right, martha, thank you. Both on the air and on the ground. We move on to that political backlash against Syrian Refugees settling here in the United States. House is going to vote on a bill that would stop it until the screening process is beefed up. The president promising to veto it. Jon karl with the latest. Reporter the house is expected to defy the president by voting to temporarily prevent the administration from allowing more Syrian Refugees to come into the country. Just days after one paris attacker was suspected of pretending to be a refugee using this syrian passport congress is voting to temporarily keep all Syrian Refugees out of the u. S. We can be compassionate and we can also be safe. Reporter Congress Wants the fbi not only to run background checks on all refugees, a process that already takes up to two years, but to certify that each syrian is not a threat, one syrian refugee family bound for the u. S. Wednesday after three years of waiting was rerouted to connecticut after indianas governor refused to let them in. I think theyre happy to be in a place that at least at least the governor wants them to be in. Reporter more than 2,000 Syrian Refugees already live in the u. S. None have any known ties to terrorism but now 31 governors say they wont accept more. Overseas president obama slammed republicans for stoking fear saying theyre scared of widows and orphans. After the initial spasm of rhetoric, people settle down, take a look at the facts and well be able to proceed. Reporter ted cruz fired back on wednesday. Mr. President , come back and insult me to my face. Lets have a debate on Syrian Refugees right now. Reporter cruz is now proposing banning all muslim refugees from syria but listen to what he said just last year. We have welcomed refugees that the tired, huddled masses for centuries. Thats been the history of the United States. We should continue to do so. Reporter speaking in the philippines this morning the president said that refugees dont pose any more of a threat than tourists. He said the notion that refugees pose more of a threat than millions of tourists that come into the United States each year, quote, just doesnt jive with reality. George. And, jon, the president and congress both digging in hard right here. Could this lead to another Government Shutdown . Reporter well, it sure could because right now the question is whether or not to have a pause but government funding runs out at december on december 11th and republicans are willing to push on this, potentially to say that they will not fund this program and well see what happens to the president s veto threat at that point. Jon karl, thanks very much. All right, george. Now to the severe storms that moved across the country flooding in the southeast. Tornadoes reported around atlanta plus millions on alert for a big winter storm. Ginger. Yeah, winter storm. Were talking about it. Were almost there. Lets start with the pictures out of atlanta. Those vehicles plowing through the water. Rainfall rates of an inch or more per hour and then the damage to some of the homes in central georgia. All from potential damaging winds or tornadoes. Those storms calmed down a lot this morning but moving to the north and east, midatlantic and northeast will see the rainfall from them and that winter storm is one of our big headlines from milwaukee back to sioux city, iowa. How much snow are we talking central iowa could see more than a half foot. Just north and west of chicago has been some of the heaviest rain and snowfalls and i think milwaukee gets really close. So behind this, im talking teens, thats right. Oh. Teens. Why. I know but i got to do it. George. Ill be back in a couple minutes. Still smiling. An Emergency Landing in chicago. An American Airlines jet bound for england was forced to return to Ohare Airport after hitting severe turbulence. Two flight attendants were injured and taken to the hospital and passengers are being rebooked today. Could be delays for travelers across the country as thousands of workers at seven of the busiest airports including both new york airports go on strike over wages and union rights. They include baggage handlers and cleaners. And tensions are escalating in minneapolis with both police and protesters firing chemical spray at one another. Demonstrators have been camped out since sunday when officers shot and killed jamar clark. They say he was preventing paramedics from helping an assault victim. Protesters are demanding Police Release video of that shooting. And this morning, one womans determination is inspiring people everywhere. She was in labor at a hospital in georgia when she used her computer to finish her college exam. She was not going to let a little labor pain, a lot of labor pain get in the way of passing her psychology class. With contractions three minutes apart she finished the test and then delivered a beautiful baby girl. She passed the test by the way which was pretty awesome and says just because im considered a young mother doesnt mean i have to be considered a bad mother and wants that education to give her child a real shot at a great life.

French prosecutors have confirmed the mastermind of those friday attacks in paris Abdelhamid Abaaoud has been killed. The dna tests did come back and they confirmed hes been killed and were going to go to abcs david muir on the scene in saintdenis right now. Hey, david. Yes, the french prosecutor just revealing that they do have the mastermind, that they did get this guy. You know, this was 24 hours ago right here in this paris suburb. We are north of paris, not far from the soccer stadium where those terror attacks began to unfold when they stormed that building not far behind me. The door was reinforced when they got here, a sevenhour battle. Terrified neighbors waking up in the dark hours of the Early Morning, 4 20 a. M. And began the raid. They moved in, stormed into that apartment. Traded gunfire. And whats been unclear the last 24 hours is if, in fact, they did get him. They have just confirmed moments ago that he was identified using fingerprints his body was riddled with bullets. We also know there was a woman inside that apartment who detonated her suicide vest during this gunfight. Whats unclear at this point is her relationship to the mastermind. There have been reports they were related in some way. We await word in french prosecutors on that detail. What we know about this man is that he had spent a significant amount of time in syria, in fact, he had been on many of those gruesome isis videos speaking directly to camera. He had been a wellknown isis recruiter across europe and when they moved in, this was based on cell phone record, conversations and people here in the neighborhood who witnessed him, they were convinced he was on the third floor in a safe house in that building and word this morning they got their man. George and robin. Okay, david, thanks. Of course, the eighth attacker, Salah Abdeslam still at loose they think in belgium right now well be right back. The easy way or the hard way.

Hoverboards are the latest craze sweeping the globe, but new york city is reportedly banning them on the streets and there are new concerns about safety. Abcs gio benitez has that for us.

Reporter to stay safe experts say you should wear a helmet and even wrist and knee pads and if youre a beginner, consider having someone spot you. And we should tell you, weve looked at the manuals for these hoverboards and those that we saw all have safety warnings listed, so youve just got to be smart and robin and george, some wonder if banning them outright will just make people want them more.

The capper auto dealership that owns the Outdoor Equipment business also saw some significant damage with a trailer rolling over the top of a new car. A 110foottall grain leg also ripped off the side of the brooklyn elevator facility in marengo. The business is closed for now. Wind also caused damage to some of the trailers in the Kirkwood Estates Mobile Home Park on the southwest side of cedar rapids. Wind data didnt record any wind gusts in the area. One person says it was the scariest night he has experienced in 10 years living in that neighborhood. His mobile home needs about 300 dollars of work to be ready for winter. And now heres your first alert forecast. Plan on a cool and windy day across eastern iowa. The wind will gust at times to 45 or even 50mph. A wind advisory is in effect for the entire tv9 viewing area through sunset. Plan on highs into the lower and middle 50s, but at least well have some sunshine. The main focus of the next few days is the snow that will arrive on friday night. While snow is possible before sunset, accumulations will be limited. However, once the sun goes down, snow should increase in intensity and last the entire night. Snow will linger right into saturday morning.

Reporter good morning, amy. We now know he was identified by his fingerprint, his body was so badly disfigured following the raid yesterday. The 27yearold Abdelhamid Abaaoud had risen to rapid heights inside isis. He was part of their new global strategy to pull off wellorganized terror attacks around the world. He had handpicked the aing thatters from his hometown in brussels for this attack in paris and sought him almost immediately thinking at first he was in syria. They then learned from a cell phone that was disposed outside that concert hall in paris that he was in communication with the attackers, they tracked him down yesterday in the suburb of saintdenis, opened fire and now they have identified him as being killed, a major victory for french police, amy.

Hello, everyone. Good morning. From planet earth. All of us come and go but the star is Good Morning America. The star of the show is the show itself. Open up. Going back to the first day, everybody shared a sense of mission, a sense of responsibility. We want to troy to provide you with information that will be useful to you. I have to almost sometimes pinch myself. Youre learning stuff along with the audience. And youre their surrogates and thats such an unbelievable honor to be the person who gets to find out stuff on their behalf. I asked them afterwards i said why are you dancing. They said through a translator, were celebrating life. Having that chance to bring people that news firsthand, first thing every morning is an amazing privilege. That is a responsibility that when you come on the air, it seems to me that youre there not just to say what happened but to say were together. Were together. Boston police and some 400 National Guardsmen ran as fast as i could. The president has been shot once in the left chest. Now the berlin wall is virtue wrally obsolete. Yesterday draped in the Royal Standard dianas body was brought back to england go after a firefight they killed Osama Bin Laden and took custody of his body. A woman was at work when the quake hit on the third floor of that Building Back there. The first few seconds are, are we okay . Are we safe . Challenger go with throttle up. We had broadcast a number of launches and had met a lot of those people and so that was very difficult. It is thursday, april 20th and i am as you might expect in oklahoma city. We were standing on top of an abandoned building and they said to us, youve got to be very careful as you walk across the roof of this building because it may collapse. We just got a report in that theres been some sort of explosion at the World Trade Center in new york city. I think we both still look at it with a sense of of astonishment that this was happening. Diane and i said to each other, if i start to cry, youve got to help me here. And she said the same thing to me. People handing out sandwiches and food. You pull together. Good morning, america, from rome. Live from venice, italy, today charlie is with us. This is one of the rarest things you can see in journalism. Its a visa into north korea. I wanted a career that would send me all around the world, all around this country. Careful what you pray for. Wherever history was being made, whether it was a royal wedding. This is one of the spots along the route. Whether it was coming down of the berlin wall or whether it was in washington at inauguration, you were just right there where history was being made. We went and did the 12day trip to the soviet union back during the height of the cold war and i came back from that trip literally kissed the ground. Here with some of the men now of the 82nd airborne. The week before the gulf war, the first gulf war when we went to saudi arabia and bahrain and had a chance to talk to young kids who were about to go to war. You got the entire country. Want to say happy thanksgiving to them. I was inspired by that. I think by the time we were able to reunite a family. Maya esther at an orphanage at portauprince at the time the earthquake struck. You found her. Yes. Thank you so much. When youre able to give somebody a bit of ray of sunshine in a very devastating time, wow. Whoo you know, Good Morning America is it can be anything. It can report on the 2000 election or it can be that when an extraordinary little boy meets his hero, the former president of the United States. I think youll find that hes here and hed like to meet you. So good to see you. So glad to see you. Youre going to meet the man, the young man who gave you the gift of life. Theres a lot of tough news are the moments, are simply filled not just with hope but with reassurance about who we are as human beings. You just cant believe all the things that you that youve experienced and i pinch myself every day and just so grateful ive had these opportunities i hope i get my license one day. We bungee jumped off ang 18story bridge. Good morning, america. I did two bungee jumps, my first and last. Theres nothing wrong with that. Moving on up its a family. Its a team and none of us could do it without the other. Being able to say good morning to america is a gift. Gma has created life memories that i will never forget. I do not take lightly that i have the opportunity to say good morning, america. That never gets old. There is nothing like it in television. Phil who hired me, he said be curious, have fun. And i did the program with that in mind for 19 years. So what a privilege it was, what a joy it was to do that every day. It was so personal, so personal to say were all in it together. Were in this together. For those who are leaving us right now join us tomorrow morning for Good Morning America. And we say good morning to joan, david, charlie, diane, you are our foundation and as you, as everyone else was watching that piece, i was watching you watching the piece and sometimes especially when the 9 11, i saw you and charlie grasp hands. What is it like for you, charlie, to see that and your body of work. Well, that was the most meaningful day ever that i had a chance to broadcast and i remember walking into the studio the next morning because we were on the air when it happened, and we went through it until peter on the air for about 45 minutes trying to figure out what was going on, second plane came into frame, hit the building, saw the plane come out the other end, diane said, oh, my god, and i said, now we know whats going on. Were under attack but i think both of us wish we said what the other said. I had the reporters action. Diane had the human reaction but i remember walking to the studio the next day and thinking my entire life professionally was a preparation for this moment because this is the most important broadcast ill ever do and we both said to each other we can get through this. We will get through this. And, and we had we put remember we put the table in the middle of the floor because we were at the breakfast table with everybody else in the country and we just figured tone that morning was just as important as facts. And also honoring the searing stories that we were hearing for the first time live. Thats what we just wanted to honor the people who were telling us about this moment and this country in this crisis. And, charlie, you said everything youve done up to that point, it prepared for. David, i want to throw that to you. In some ways nothing can prepare you for what youre going to face here every morning except being a human being. Yes, thats right and the word ive used a couple of us have about the fact that doing this work is a gigantic privilege. And how many people in all of television has have had this privilege and this opportunity and this responsibility for two hours a day, five days a week to bring people information that they really can use in some constructive, positive way in their lives to help understand who we are, what we are and what we need to do with our own lives to make not only our lives better but make the country better. Thats the responsibility part and as charlie said, yeah, have fun and part of it is fun, but the bigger part of it is the privilege of being able to inform. And its the way we feel today. But its like charlie said, good morning its a little bit of everything. Its like a newspaper. You know, you have the front page, you have the entertainment section, the sports section and, joan, you had your work cut out for you with mr. Gibson over there when he first came on the scene because he was all buttoned up and everything. Our first day was out on a beach in florida and there he was with his suit just like he was reporting in front of capitol hill and i walked over and i felt bad because, you know, i was so used i knew we would be in a hot climate so i wore something appropriate. There he he take off the tie. I said i think you need to take off your tie and i knew he was looking at me thinking, what did i get myself into . Like i shower in a tie so i thought you were born in a tie. And i suddenly realized joan said this is not right and so she leaned over and she took off my tie. So, diane, did you ask yourself that question, what did i get myself into when you did cirque du soleil. I wish i had asked and so does cirque du soleil. Part is just indenture. Doing things you never dreamed you would do and taking people with you and i loved getting to show all of you what it was like and there i was doing their highly controlled experiment but at one point i got on a trapeze way above i dont know how many feet above but lots of feet above the arena and i kept trying to pull myself back up and i didnt have the upper body strength. They didnt have a ladder tall enough to shove me back up to the trapeze so as far as i know i could still be hanging there. I just want to say. But i remember your first day, here you are youve done it all. Youve done it all and your first day at Good Morning America and what did you do at the very end of the show . I sort of breeze in, i got this one. I got it all and i had no idea how much theres to do. At the end of the show. On the conveyer belt the whole time and charlie was laughing in his tie. Sitting next to this blond mop all of a sudden. Dave, 12 days in the soviet union. We did. And it was before the Reagan Gorbachev summit in geneva, a month before, and how much did any of us know about the soviet union . And we thought as a program why dont we go over there and see if we can meet some real people and try to get an idea about what the soviet union is like . And the 12 days we were there was a lifechanging experience for me. So many of us born and raised in this country do not appreciate what weve got, the freedoms of our country, the constitution, this bill of rights, dont get me started, about that. But when i came back from the soviet union where it was so totally different from what its like in the United States instead of in terms of freedoms and i came back and if you had told me that i was going to come back and kiss the driveway in front of my house id have said you were crazy. You guys remember i kissed the driveway in front of my house. We have to get to ginger for some weather. Oh, you know what, so appropriate for weather. We have 25 seconds, guy, go. Hi, im sam.
