30,000 tons of rock crashing down on the beach as people below run for their lives. and good morning, america. you know, let's take another look at that charming moment. so much fun yesterday afternoon. will and kate introduced baby cambridge to the world. boy, they got all of the little touches just right. little car seat in the back driving home. will says he's thankful his son has kate's looks. and, lara, what a fun day you had. >> it was absolutely remarkable to be there. thousands of us gathered in the rain, and then, the sun, for the moment. and will later apologized for keeping all of us waiting so long. i dear say, will, no need to apologize. >> exactly. >> and we're now just getting word on how the future king has a very special visitor this morning. let's get right out to abc's amy robach who is outside kensington palace in london, with the very latest. good morning, amy. >> good morning,everyone. come of visitors here this morning at kensington palace, first the queen, her first great grandson today. spending about 30 minutes with the royal family and then uncle prince harry also got to spend some time with his new nephew. it's been a tremendous day for the newest heir to the throne. this morning, abc news has learned that kate and william, seen in the streets of london with their new prince, spent the first night out of the hospital without a nanny. the duke and duchess want to bond with their new son alone. their homecoming came after the couple's much-anticipated departure from st. mary's hospital. where they showed the world for the first time, their 8-pound, 6-ounce boy. >> he's got a good set of lungs. that's for sure. >> reporter: the couple looked relaxed and happy, as they hinted at their son's overdue arrival. for royal watchers, the moment was very similar to the one 31 years ago, when prince charles and princess diana introduced prince william to the world. but there were some differences. william told reporters he's a modern dad. he's already changed a diaper. >> i have done that already. >> he did the first nappy already. >> it was good. >> reporter: and then, there was the baby's mode of departure. back in 1982, william rode home on princess diana's lap. british law now requires newborns to exit hospitals in car seats. william, followed rules installing the car seat himself. earlier in the day, first-time grandparents, carole and michael middleton, saw their grandson for the first time. >> he's absolutely beautiful. they're both doing really well. they're so thrilled. >> reporter: and prince charles paid a visit, as well. >> lovely. >> reporter: it's believed aunt pippa, kate's sister, was waiting to greet the new family of three when they arrived home. and just an hour ago, the baby's great grandmother, the queen, stopped by to visit the new heir to the throne. the historic meeting marked one more milestone for this young family of royals. right now, we're still waiting for the other big news to break in this story and that, of course s the name of baby cambridge. we have been told that we could hear it as soon as today. right now if you ask british bookies they'll tell you the top two contenders is george and james. back to you. >> i love the idea the baby has no idea the stir he's creating all over the world. great reporting there. but now, we're going to turn to the shocking revelations shaking up the new york mayor's race one more time. anthony weiner claimed to be a changed man after he resigned congress in the wake of a sectioning scandal. but the sexting did not stop. in a news conference late yesterday, weiner said that wouldn't force him out of the mayor's race in new york. and jeff zeleny is here with all of the details. and jeff, his wife there to back him up. but three of his opponents and two major newspapers saying, enough is enough. >> that's right, george. it was quite an extraordinary scene. it was a real human drama when his wife stepped forward to deliver a public testimonial in hopes of stopping her husband from another political free-fall. >> i have said that other texts and photos were likely to come out, and today, they have. >> reporter: the scene was familiar. anthony weiner, back in front of a microphone, admitting involvement in another sexting scandal. >> there's no question that what i did was wrong. >> reporter: what's different, though, is that he's no longer a congressman. he's running for mayor of new york city. and this time, his wife, huma, hillary clinton's former aide, is standing by his side. and speaking out. >> you'll have to bear with me, i'm very nervous. i wrote down what i wanted to say. i love him. i have forgiven him. i believe in him. and as we said from the beginning, we are moving forward. >> reporter: his fall from grace was extraordinary. a congressman with national prominence, forced to resign two years ago, for sending sexually explicit messages to women. and, now, tuesday's revelations could spell new trouble for his candidacy. he acknowledges sending messages for a year after he resigned from congress. the e-mail messages were explicit and x-rated. i hear liberal girls are very, uh, accommodating of others. his rivals and others are calling for him to leave the race. but huma is defending her man and his candidacy. >> it was not an easy choice in any way. but i made the decision that it was worth staying in this marriage. and i do very strongly believe that is between us. >> reporter: and he is asking for, yet, another chance. >> let me just reiterate to my wife, how sorry i am that i did these things. and how sorry i am to the people that got these messages. >> and jeff, weiner was in the thick of the race before the new revelations. whether voters are going to give him a third chance, in addition to a second. but this seemed to surprise even those closest to the campaign. >> reporter: it did. and it surprised those closest to the family. a couple of friends close to the family said that huma was shocked and saddened by this. you could see that look on her face yesterday when she came out there. the biggest problem is the timeline of this. this happened six months after their son was born. the son was born in december of 2011. this texting was going on until june 2012. that is the key sticking point that really hurts this family. >> jeff, thanks very much. let's go to josh and more of the news, including that oil rig disaster. >> yeah, and it's getting worse there in the gulf of mexico. going to begin there. breaking news from the gulf. fire erupting on a natural gas rig, roughly 55 miles off the louisiana coast. there was a blowout on the rig tuesday. you can actually see the smoke there billowing from the resulting fire. the good news, all 44 workers have been safely evacuated. but overnight, gas was pouring out of control into the gulf. crews are still trying to figure out how to fight this fire. and they're not sure yet what ignited the gas in the first place. meanwhile, the largest municipal bankruptcy case gets under way in a federal courtroom in detroit today. the city, $18 billion in debt. and it wants to cut health care and pension payments to its workers and retirees. but those workers are suing, claiming state law protects them. now, the outcome could set a precedent for dozens of other cities and states struggling to meet their pension obligations. getting the mail delivered to your door could now be a thing of the past, at least if a new proposal in congress is approved. the plan would phase out door-to-door mail delivery in favor of curbside delivery. it will save postal service billions of dollars each year. but critics warn it will cost jobs and will place new burdens on the elderly and the disabled. and pope francis' visits to brazil's most important shrine today will be more security. as some 200,000 people are flocking to the small town where he is celebrating mass today, security on high alert after a homemade bomb was found in a public bathroom on sunday. and after monday's security nightmare, when his driver took a wrong turn, trapping the motorcade with hardly any security in sight. the pope it has now been announced, will not ride in an open-air car in rio today as had been planned. and on wall street today, apple stock rose some 4% overnight after the company reported better-than-expected profits, thanks to record iphone sales. but it's not all good news for the company. ipad sales are said to be dropping. and finally, a quiet walk on the beach turned into something quite different for folks on the northern coast of france. we actually showed it to you at the top of the show. they heard a rumble. and then take a look. who knew? that an entire cliff was collapsing. broad daylight. not a special effect, although it could be. an estimated 30,000 tons of rock crashing on to the sand. i guess as i'm known to say, thankfully, no one was hurt. everyone, really impressed. really, really. >> it just crumbled. >> crumbled. >> right away. okay. elizabeth? now, to that mysterious stomach bug that's been spreading. the cdc says it's spreading and affecting people in eight states right now, sickening more than 250 and sending at least 10 people to the hospital. abc news chief health and medical editor, dr. richard besser, is here with details. and what do we know about this bug? how is it different? >> cdc really has their hands full with this one. cypress 4 is the name of the bug. it's unusual. it tends to be found in the tropics. it's had some outbreaks in the past from raspberries and basil. it's not spread person to person. it's been seen in eight states. the most cases have been seen in iowa, texas and nebraska. but it's hard to pick up. so, there's probably a lot more of this disease out there. >> and what are the symptoms? and how is it different from a normal stomach virus? >> well, you know, in addition to watery diarrhea, you could have cramping, bloating, fatigue and weight loss. but if you don't take care of this, the symptoms can last more than a month and they can come and go. it's not like your typical bug. >> should people go to the doctor right away if they have the symptoms? >> if you've had them more than a few days, you want to go to your doctor. but you have to tell them you have heard about this outbreak because there are special tests that have to be done. if they diagnose it properly, there's an antibiotic to take care of those symptoms. but the cdc has to find a connection between these people. and so far, they haven't figured out what links all these people together. that's what they're doing. >> all right. dr. rich besser. we'll have more on that as it develops. >> sure. we're going to turn now to the fallout from those pictures showing the capture of boston bombing suspect dzhokhar tsarnaev. the cop who released the stunning photos is given desk duty. as the department investigates. and this morning, his sons are defending him. abc's pierre thomas has the story. >> reporter: murphy, flanked by his two sons, declined to speak after being told by his bosses not to. but his sons had a lot to say. they back him completely. >> my dad made stands -- an amazing stand against what we all saw was an injustice to the city. >> i feel it was the right choice for him to make. i believe he did the right thing. >> reporter: the right thing was to release these photographs, showing a bloodied dzhokhar tsarnaev right before his surrender. the police sniper locked in on his forehead. the pictures to counter this "rolling stone" cover, which critics say made tsarnaev look like a rock star. >> everyone had every right to be furious with it. i myself was very furious. >> reporter: the fury and the aftermath of a bombing that killed three and wounded more than 170 others, including some who lost limbs. before releasing the photos, murphy even talked it over with his sons. >> a few hours before he decided to go to the media, he said to me, this could be huge. this could help a lot of people. you have to do what you have to do. >> reporter: sergeant murphy has no regrets. we asked his lawyer if he would do it again. >> without question. this is a man of principle. >> reporter: his resolve has been fueled by overwhelming support from fellow officers and many of the victims. >> he's gotten tearful phone calls. he's met the young man the first time he stood after losing both legs. to have his picture taken with sergeant murphy. and nothing could mean more to him than that. and that's why he did it. >> reporter: for sergeant murphy, this is personal. his family is hoping for the best. but they say he'll live with the consequences, elizabeth? >> all right, pierre, thanks so much. now, to the trial of notorious boston mob boss whitey bulger and the mysterious and suspicious death of a potential witness. his body turned up by the side of the road. and we could know later today just how he died. abc's ron claiborne has the story. >> reporter: the mystery continues to swirl. how did stephen rakes die? increasingly, it appears that rakes, who was set to testify against former boston mob boss james "whitey" bulger may have been killed, not a suicide as first thought. >> the circumstances are obviously very suspicious. given the timing, happening as it did here, in the midst of the trial. >> reporter: rakes' body was found a week ago, in a boston suburb, far from his home. no wallet. no i.d. his car missing. but he had no signs of trauma. and an autopsy was inconclusive. investigators now say it appears his body was dumped where it was found. and are themselves calling his death suspicious. rakes had been expected to testify about how he says bulger extorted him into selling him his south boston liquor store 30 years ago. but last week, prosecutors decided not to call rakes to the stand, which would seem to take any incentive to silent him. at the bulger trial tuesday, more fireworks. as the key prosecution witness admitted mobster stephen flemmi came under intense cross-examination, by bulger's defense lawyer, who was trying to shake him from his testimony that he personally saw bulger kill several people, including deborah hussey, flemmi's stepdaughter, to keep her quiet. >> the worse criminal conduct in the history of this city. >> reporter: the prosecution is expected to rest by the end of this week. for "good morning america," ron claiborne, abc news, new york. and now, we turn to the new drug scandal rocking baseball. former mvp ryan braun has been suspended for the rest of the season. alex rodriguez of the yankees could soon be slapped with an even stiffer penalty. and abc's paula faris has more on what this means for the game's biggest stars. >> reporter: ryan braun may be just the first to fall from grace. >> i hope that ryan braun is forever remembered as the most despicable liar in the history of baseball. >> reporter: sources tell abc's sister network, espn, that alex rodriguez is among roughly 20 major leaguers who may soon face suspension. they're being investigated for violating the league's drug policy. the movement in the investigation comes after braun was suspended for the remainder of the season for using banned substances. just last year, after failing a drug test, the all-star looked into the camera and lied. >> if i had done this intentionally or unintentionally, i'd be the first one to step up and say, i did it. >> reporter: but this week, braun finally fessed up. saying, i realize now that i have made some mistakes. i am willing to accept the consequences of those actions. some players we spoke to believe that those found violating the drug policy should be punished more severely. >> he got caught and still making $100 million. >> reporter: if a-rod is found guilty, both the punishment and the backlash could be even worse. because, according to espn, major league baseball allegedly has even more evidence against him than they did braun. >> they want to know, did he actually tamper with witnesses? did he try to have any documents destroyed? >> reporter: and when it comes to a-rod, espn is using the words lifetime ban. that's how much evidence the league has on him. but there's a chance he could accept a plea deal, which he denied as recently last weekend. our sources close to the situation, says major league baseball in the final stages of their investigation for everyone involved. >> paula, thanks very much. this could be huge. sam, another huge thing. severe storms in kansas. >> because it finally means there's a movement of cooler, dry air that a lot of people have been waiting for. get a little sunshine, less humidity. no chance of storms. that's a good thing. look at what we had to go through to get that. get that storm moving through places like tulsa, also in wichita. four-inch hail reported there. a lot of -- some folks when we say tennis ball-size hail, you put a tennis ball down and take a picture of it. and we can show you exactly what we mean. here's the front. as it's on the move, the cooler, drier air in the afternoon. it's much better in new york. boston, as well. detroit, you're already into it. so, it's kind of a nice thing. is this dorian? it's tropical depression number four. it's way off the coast of africa. the only thing i'm going to say is that, by monday, the forecast has it in an arm's reach of puerto rico. there's a lot of dry air that could affect this storm and pull it together. not keep it together. we'll watch it. good morning. i'm abc7 news meteorologist mike nicco with your bay area microclimate forecast. you can already see some patchy fog giving way to sunshine, which will dominate our afternoon, even out at the coast. milder nights with morning marine layer clouds will become the norm as our temperatures are pretty close to average through the extended. today, 70

that was reduced to $750,000. that's when he was released. that's when the controversy started whether he was going to live in the house, et cetera. you're entitled to bail or bond, generally. murder tends to be a little different. but i'm not really clear as to why that bond was reduced to the point where he's now out. >> and did the judge give a rationale for that? it is an unusual ruling. >> it is. we'll have to see exactly what happens now, with regard to whether he's allowed to go back and live in that house. he is presumed to be innocent. and bail and bond is not intended to punish someone. it's intended to make sure they show up. murder tends to be different. even as an innocent man, can he live at the crime scene?
