Get your heart ready to melt. You are amazing. Byebye. You are amazing. Byebye. What do you say after that . I know. There are no words. She needs to take do not grow pills. Just as she is, little claire. It is the International Day of the girl. Its great to show claire like that. Also, malala. Diane sawyer has a riveting interview with her. This is malala with her father last night here in new york. And diane is going to be along to preview what were going to see tonight from her. Certainly, a hero for young women. Young children everywhere. Also, some big energy today. We have the fifth of five finalists in our huge katy perry roar contest. Katy perry, selecting the five finalists. Shes going to a high school on october 25th, her birthday. Might it be this one . Our only entrant from east of the mississippi. Well meet them in a bit. From the great state of ohio. Was i not supposed to give that away . Theres many schools. Thats okay. Still broad. Were going to get to washington. Day 11 of the Government Shutdown. Its been slow going in the highstakes negotiations. Finally, a glimmer of progress last night after highlevel meetings between the president and house republicans. Abcs Jonathan Karl is live there for us in washington, for us. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, robin. There is no st. Louis yet. But believe me this could all fall apart. But beginning with last nights meeting the two sides are at least talking. That is cause, at least one person involved told me, quote, mild optimism. House republicans emerged from a white house meeting with president obama, saying they were encouraged. We had a very useful meeting. It was clarifying, i think, for both sides as to where we are. Reporter republicans went to the meeting with an offer. Theyll temporarily raise the debt ceiling, postponing the threat of a catastrophic economic meltdown for six weeks, leaving more time for negotiations to end the Government Shutdown. I hope the president will look at this as an opportunity, and a good faith effort on our part to move halfway. Reporter president neither accepted nor rejected the republican offer. But the president and Congressional Democrats have consistently said they will not negotiate until the Government Shutdown has ended. On thursday, it was unclear whether or not that position might be changing a bit. I want to be sure i had it right. The president will not engage in budget negotiations with the republicans until the government is reopened . Is that his position . Our position is clear. They ought to turn on the lights. They ought to pay our bills. Reporter the white house was hoping for a debt ceiling increase that would last more than a year. But they also indicated they could accept a shortterm increase, too. If a clean debt limit bill is passed, he would likely sign it. Reporter well, the two sides are getting closer to a deal that would raise the debt se ceiling and therefore end the threat of default at least for now. Theyre also working on a deal to end the Government Shutdown. This is something that could happen as early as next week. Meantime the president has another meeting with the republicans at the white house. This Time Senate Republicans to meet with the president. Josh . All right, jon. Many good. Perhaps to discuss it all, we welcome abc political contributor, matthew dowd this morning. We heard Jonathan Karl say that one player told him this was cause for mild optimism. I think the american people, at this point, matthew, will take anything they can get. How real, then, was this movement with these talks between the house gop and the president . Good morning, josh. First, congratulations to my hometown, detroit tigers. Red sox better get ready for that. The way i look at this is, its like two people have been in a boat, where the boats filling with water and nobodys doing anything to bail the water out. For the first time, theyre not pointing figures at each other, arguing over whose fault the holes in the boat are. Thats what we have today. Mildly optimistic, but theyre doing nothing to bail out the water and the boat thats sinking in the water. A sixweek period until november 22nd. Are we just kicking the can down the road here . But still, staring down at that november 22nd deadline, without any talk about reopening the government . Yeah. Its exactly what were doing. Last year, when we kicked the can down the road, we kicked it down the road for a year. This time, we shortened that down the road to six weeks. Again, i go back to what i said. They havent started bailing water, let alone fixing the holes in the boat. The good news is, they stopped pointing fingers at each other. Theyll start bailing water. And hopefully, soon, before thanksgiving, theyll actually stop kicking the can and fix the holes in the boat. Amidst all of the political bringsmanship, what happens next matthew . Obviously, what happens next is they have to reach an agreement and fairly quickly. They have to Reach Agreement in the next 48 hours to get this done before the debt ceiling limit deadline approaches. So, they have to Reach Agreement, it has to happen in the next 48 hours. Signs are positive. But not very positive. Weary eyes continue to look, then, at the nations capital. And congratulations, matthew, to your tigers. Thank you. George is going to have the latest on the Government Shutdown this sunday morning on this week. Again, as the deadlines now loom. Well be watching on sunday. And those encouraging signs from washington, sending wall street soaring on thursday. Stocks having their best day of the year when it looked like there could be a deal. This morning, traders are bracing themselves for another wild ride. And abcs Rebecca Jarvis is here with more on that. And do you have good news, rebecca . Reporter we have good news, for a change. The good news after yesterdays gains is stocks have essentially wiped out the losses that were associated with the shutdown. Meaning your Retirement Savings are back on track. But my sources on wall street caution, this isnt euphoria. The deal isnt done. And previously, weve seen this backfire. In the financial crisis, with the bank bailout, everyone thought it was a done deal. Congress voted no the first round. And stocks cratered then. The bottom line this morning for you and your Retirement Savings, stocks are up this year 15 . Thats more than twotimes the historical average. To put it in monetary terms. If you put 1,000 in the market, at the start of this year, you would have earned 150 on that investment. So, a good one. Well take it, rebecca. Yes, we will. All right. Thanks so much. Have a good weekend. The rest of the top stories from amy robach. Good to have you here. Thank you. Good morning to you as well. We begin with a major legal victory for toyota. A california jury has cleared the carmaker in a wrongful death lawsuit. Alleging sudden acceleration. The family of a woman whose car sped up and slammed into the tree, claimed the car had a design defect. But the jury blamed another driver for that crash. Toyota faces dozens of similar lawsuits involving sudden acceleration. Dozens of Sorority Girls from the university of delaware were injured in this bus crash on slick roads overnight. The bus flipped after colliding with a big rig. All of the students are expected to be okay. And police here in new york say they have uncovered a bizarre and violent scheme. Two jewish rabbis are charged with plotting to kidnap and then torture orthodox men into granting their wives religious divorces. This happened during an fbi sting. The alleged mastermind described using thugs to beat the husbands and then shock them with cattle prods. Investigators say epstein charged unhappy wives up to 100,000 for that service. The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize was announced this morning. This year, the award goes to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons, an International Group whose Current Mission is the destruction of syrias chemical weapons stockpile. And one of the original mercury 7 astronauts has died. Scott carpenter was the second american to orbit the earth. But his reentry from that 1962 mission went very wrong. He missed his landing target by nearly 300 miles. Search crews found him floating in the caribbean. His feet propped up on his life raft. Scott carpenter was 88 years old. And dramatic video this morning of a skier who narrowly escaped an avalanche. It happened during the filming of an atv commercial in spain. You can see, he was thrown up in the air, and then buried, but an inflatable air bag helped him rise back up to the surface. Amazing there. And speaking of amazing, the buck who just cant wait for, of all things, basketball. Take a look at this. He was spotted the other day near pittsburgh. That basketball stuck right between his growing antlers. No word on how it actually got there or whether game wardens have plans to remove it. It looks like his antlers have grown around it like that. I hope it doesnt hurt the little guy. Such a little fella. Maybe puncture that basketball. Thats my two cents. All right. Thank you very much. Now, we have the latest on that violent highrisk sex offender, on the run from canadian authorities, slipping across the border into the u. S. Neither country with the authority to arrest him right now. Abcs Neal Karlinsky has that story. Reporter this morning, canadian Authorities Say theyve lost a violent, highrisk sex offender in the u. S. But they dont have the legal right to come and get him. Specifically, we have no authority to go get him. Reporter 48yearold Michael Shawn stanley has been missing for more than a week. Vanishing october 1st in western canada after cutting off his electronic monitoring bracelet. Stanley has a long history of sexual offenses against women and children. He served nine years for assault on an 82yearold woman in a wheelchair. Later, he was convicted of assaulting two young boys. After multiple reported sightings last week in canada, east of edmonton, schools were put on lockdown. Just concerned about kids safety. Reporter authorities now say stanley apparently crossed into Washington State from vancouver on monday. They had alerted border authorities. But say he somehow slipped through anyway. We had some speculation he may try to cross at some point. So, the fact that he did cross is not a surprise to us. Reporter authorities believe they know stanleys location. But police in the u. S. Cant arrest him because they dont have a warrant. Canadian police are hopeful that will soon change. The breach of recognizance charges that have been laid here in canada is an extraditable offense. Reporter the canadian Officials Say the crossborder bureaucracy thats slowed them down, wont stop them from getting a man they called dangerous off the streets, on one side of the border, or the other. For Good Morning America, Neal Karlinsky, abc news, seattle. Thank you. Were going to turn to a Serious Health alert this morning. A major salmonella outbreak spreading across the country. Thus far, nearly 300 people have been sickened after eating tainted chicken. This morning, the usda, allowing three processing plants connected to the outbreak to stay open. Lets bring in our chief medical editor, dr. Richard besser, to discuss it all. And, again, rich, foster farms, the company that owns please plants, what changes did the usda likely force upon the company to let them keep these plants open in the first place . Yeah. Usda says foster farms has changed their processing, how theyre handling chickens. The usda will do more monitoring, testing samples to see if thats still there. I have to tell you, the outbreak is still going on. There were three new cases yesterday. Until we know this is over, i would stay away from this chicken. We hear about outbreaks such as this. But you are particularly concerned about this one. This is a dangerous outbreak. Normally, 20 of people with salmonella will end in the hospital. Here, 42 of people are in the hospital. And many of the strains cant be treated with common antibiotics. Theres certain people who are at greater risk. The young. Elderly. People with chronic medical conditions. This can get in the bloodstream and be a deadly infection. Very serious. And unfortunately, theres political context here, as well, Public Health officials who arent there to track this outbreak. I was at the new york health department. They have ten employees paid by the federal government. Theyre working without pay. The cdc has 8,000 people on furlough, 2,000 people working without pay, mainly Commission Core officers in the Public Health service. How do we know this is truly over if our Public Health system isnt there . What can we do . The company is correct. If you cook chicken properly, handle it properly, you wont get sick. But i wouldnt eat it. I would check the plant numbers we have them here. We have them on our website. And look at the brands. Its not just foster farms. Theres a list of brands at abcnews. Com that are from the plants. Until this is over, i would stay away. All right. Rich, thanks very much. On this International Day of the girl, lets turn to malala. She showed everyone. And she showed us her bravery. She was here in new york last as we showed you with her father. Her bravery in the face of incredible odds. An inspiration to many. And diane sawyer is here with a preview of her exclusive hour with the young pakistani, 16yearold, malala. Taking her fight and inspiring and moving interview. I know you spent so much time with her. We heard from her this past week. First of all, its great to see you, diane. Hello. Its always good to have you back here. We have to be reminded, this has been an incredible year this young woman has had. A year since she was shot. A miraculous recovery in the hospital, with Amazing Things well be explaining to you tonight. Also, her stepbystep return, fearlessly, unbreakably, to the front lines of Girls Education is something to behold. I always say, gather around every child who ever complained about school, and also, who has fear in their own life, and see what she does. And i want to remind everybody, how it happened a year ago because she has become a force that no one thought the taliban would take on a child. And yet, there she was, on the school bus. The kids were singing. And here is what happened. October 2012. A group of schoolgirls in the the swatt valley in pakistan were on their school bus, singing. Suddenly, two men approach. One of them with a colt. 45. He climbs on the bus and asks this question. Who is malala . She doesnt remember what happened next. But her friend describes the moment. She said like, you said nothing, and you were just holding my hand. And you squeezed my hand like you were forcing it. And you said nothing. And she said, like, you just looked at the man like this. Then she says that he fired three bullets and one hit you on the left side of my head. Reporter she was shot in the head at pointblank range. A year later, a miraculous recovery. And a new message for the world. I think life is always dangerous. Some people get afraid of it. Some people dont go forward. But some people, if they want, to achieve their goal, they have to go. And the courage is still there. Its telling me to move forward. She is able to express herself in such a way. But shes really up against quite a deal, even with fellow muslim women. Thats right. Were going to go out and remind you how entrenched they are. How deeply they believe and ferociously the taliban believes that she is trying to promote democracy and freedom, which cannot coexist with their radical islam. We also talked to women out there, and thats the Biggest Surprise at all. These women, their faces hidden, except for their eyes. Theyre going to try to explain to me why they oppose her. How can they oppose her . And well try to ask those questions probingly tonight. I heard a Little Exchange between you and that group. And weve been saying, its the International Day of the girl. How fitting that malala, on this day, and she is so forward in speaking about what is so important. Thats right. And even though she is a child, she shows me her magic tricks. And wants to know why im not doublejointed and trying to get me to practice. In so many ways, shes a child turned gladiator. And says, who is going to speak up if i didnt . Here she is now. The movement has begun. Everybody at home, i think it leaves you soaring over the clouds to know that you can join and say, i am malala, too. And 31 Million Girls have been silenced have a right to be heard. Its so powerful when you hear all different everybody saying that. Diane, always good to have you here. We will be watching tonight. The hourlong special is tonight. Unbreakable, on 20 20, 10 00, 9 00 central. And malalas autobiography is out the this week. Entitled, i am malala.

Reporter edmonds said his heart was racing, walking back to the house with the alleged carjacker behind him. Edmonds gets inside his home, yells out to a friend for help and runs into a bathroom to call police. The man with the gun looks around. Grabs the car keys and makes a run for it. Hes in such a hurry, he only opens one half of the gate and then beats up the car, rushing to back it out of the driveway. Spends a good 30 seconds, back and forth, back and forth, trying to get out of the gate. Reporter the video is flying around the internet. And Atlanta Police say theyre flooded with leads. The fact its all over the internet and all of that. Has that been the key to this . That was a very big key. Obviously, some people, when theyre talking to you, give us descriptions. Descriptions can be a little bit off. If you have video, thats hardcore. Reporter police recovered edmonds car wednesday and are dusting it for prints, looking for the man who, thanks to these cameras, they expect to catch real soon. For Good Morning America, Steve Osunsami, abc news, atlanta. Thank you, receive. Now to the case of the utah doctor about to go on trial for the murder of his wife, more than six years after her death. Martin macneill is accused of a bizarre plot to get his wife out of the way, so to speak, to make room for his mistress. Aditi roy has the story. Reporter Martin Macneill is at the center of an epic family drama about to play out in court next week. But the courtroom fireworks are already flying with lawyers debating this week about which witnesses should be allowed to testify, including macneills daughter. The former utah doctor and mormon sunday schoolteacher is accused of killing his wife. His frantic call made on the day of the day of her death in 2011 after the youngest child, eda, disdiscovered her mother in the bathtub. Macneills oldest daughter describes what eda told her. My dad told her to check on your mother. My dad stayed in the kitchen while she went into the bathroom and found her. Reporter macneill says his wife drowned in the bathtub. But they say he intentionally overdosed her, when she was recovering from a facelift he compelled her to have. This week, macneills lawyers argued that 12yearold eda should not be allowed to take the stand. Was prosecutors allowed alexis to interview her. Theres no evidence edas testimony is tainted, even though macneills older daughters long believe their father is guilty. We know the truth. We know killed our mother. Reporter during macneills court appearances, they clutched their mothers pictures and stared down their father, while his lawyers professed his innocence. He has done some bad things in his life. Does that mean hes a murderer . No. Reporter also on the witness list, gypsy willis, macneills former mistress, who moved into the family home shortly after michelles death. While the judge will allow some of his fellow inmates to take the stand, he has yet to allow whether to allow edas testimony. A decision, in a trial that pits the once powerful patriarch against his own family. For Good Morning America, aditi roy, abc news, los angeles. So much to parse here. To help us do that, our chief Legal Affairs officer, dan abrams, joins us. Among the many things to discuss here, another case were seeing now, where the prosecution took many years to make its case before, in fact, charging the husband with murdering his wife, dr. Macneill here. So what does it mean . Social it mean its a tough case to make . Not in this case. In this case, i would reverse it and say i have no idea why it took them so long. They had enormous evidence against him for a long time. He was serving three years already, for stealing the identity of his adopted daughter. I dont think the authorities felt they had to rush this. But youre almost trying to trump me, because youre saying, wait a sec. Exactly. This is one of the most bizarre cases i have covered. I do not say that lightly. Because of the amount of things they have against him. It seems everything in this guys life was a lie. He lied about his degrees. He lied about having cancer. He stole his daughters identity. It goes on and on and on. And then, you have this bizarre allegation that hes forcing his wife to have a facelift because so he, as a doctor, can overprescribe her with drugs, kill her, so he can be with his mistress. And it wont be discovered. The authorities have had all of this for a long time. I cant give you an explanation why it took so long to charge him. This is a very strong circumstantial case. Lots of questions. Its only a twohour show. So were going to save them without discussing more about this. Thanks very much. Were going to turn for another look at the weather. And, sam, looks like the west is getting a storm some may have wanted. But maybe not so much. You get the rain with it. You also get some snow in mountains outside of san diego, l. A. And vegas. Its the first big one to make that snow. Its a strong front as it moves into the country. And look at the pictures we have from you from flagstaff, arizona. I think there was a record low there. For a 39degree low temperature yesterday morning, if im not mistaken. Thats how powerful the cold is behind it. As the front moves into the plains, theres thunderstorms that move ahead testify and this cold gusty wind behind it. This is a big storm to Pay Attention to in the middle of the country. Meanwhile, ahead of all of that, its 82 in oklahoma city. Memphis is 84. Atlanta, 81 today. Tallahassee, 87. Theres an awful lot of fog from memphis, not quite to thats the area we think the strongest storms will be right there. All that weather was brought to you by party city, by the way. Thank you, sam.

Also ahead, oneonone, with another friend of the program, Kerry Washington. An inspired passion project. Shell be sharing on this, the International Day of the girl. Lets get the news right now from amy. Good morning, guys. We begin with optimism. Were told its mild optimism, that lawmakers will be able to break the logjam in washington. On the table now is a deal, first offered by republicans in the house. It would raise the nations debt ceiling for six weeks until late november. That would give president obama and the republicans more time to negotiate the end of the Government Shutdown. Sources say an agreement to do that could be made by early next week. Some National Parks that have been closed since the Government Shutdown could soon reopen. The Obama Administration saying that the parks can open again as long as states use their own money to pay for operations. And some breaking news from afghanistan. Secretary of state john kerry has arrived in kabul on an unannounced visit for urgent security talks. The u. S. Is trying to reach a deal allowing troops to conduct Counterterrorism Operations after the nato mission ends next year. The u. S. Relationship with afghanistan has been strained in recent weeks. Another breaking story that could take a big toll on stocks today. Jpmorgan chase, the nations largest bank, has just reported a surprising 400 million loss for the third quarter, largely because of legal expenses. And facebook is changing its privacy settings. Its doing away with the function that controls whether you can be found when someone types your name in the search bar. Facebook says only a small number were taking advantage of that setting. And frightening close call for the crew of this racing yacht. A gust of wind flips the boat over. A wellknown racer was trapped in one of the hulls. He was rescued by helicopter. He is okay.

They overfed him out of love. And the average dachshund should weigh no more than 32 pounds. This poor guy was almost 80.

A little improve this. Heat index. And we have a talker to start things off. Sam, ear muffs. The worlds topearning male models, not getting paid anywhere near as much as their female counterparts. We are outraged about this. It is an outrage, indeed. And you, amy, have an update on said outrage. I do, in fact. A 1. 5 million paycheck is pretty good. But its nothing compared to what the top women are earning. From the catwalk, to the covers of international magazines. We know their faces and their first names. Gisele, miranda and kate. They are the worlds most famous supermodels, with the biggest bank accounts. According to forbes Gisele Bundchen raked in a whopping 42 million last year. While miranda kerr was behind her with 7 million. How do the paychecks of their male counterparts compare . On average, male models make around 200,000 to 500,000 a year, if theyre really, really successful, theyll hit the 1 million mark. Reporter you may not know industry veteran david gandy by name. But youll recognize that face. It seems like, for a male model, you have to do something other than modeling to have a name. You have coverage and people know the name. Reporter the tentop earning male models earned a combined total of 8 million, from september 2012 to september 2013. A fraction compared to the 83 million their female counterparts raked in over the past year. Sean opry is currently the worlds highestpaid supermodel, earning 1. 5 million last year. The gaps what it is. And its there for a reason. Females have a lot of platforms they can use to jump off of. Like victorias secret contracts. Cosmetics contracts. Males dont have that. Reporter but opry is not complaining about the income divide. I dont have to wear high heels. And i dont have to wear bikinis. So, i mean, more power to the ladies. Im very happy with my career and the monetary rate. At the end of the day, im very blessed with what i do have. Theres one interesting point beyond all of that eye candy. Celebrity models are a different story. Brad pitts chanel 5 ad earned him 10 million. When we talk about women and the equal pay thing, this is an interesting twist on it. 148 difference between the top earners, women and men. I will not sleep until we have equality. Youre being so quiet, sam champion. Very proud of you. I think i used it all up. Next up on the gma heat index, can using instagram change the way you eat . So many people post pictures of their favorite meals. According to a new study, looking at all those photos of food may actually, wait for it, make you less hungry. Thats the word on the street. Abcs linsey davis has more on the socalled instagram diet. Reporter from soup to nuts, social media is changing the way we eat. I want to know whats the most likes . What will get me the most likes on instagram. Reporter increasingly, people are ordering based on the best say cheese moment. What they think will make for the best photo op. Youve heard that a picture is worth 1,000 words. Now, some say, it could just save you 1,000 calories. Thats because according to a study of salty and alternatively sweet foods by Brigham Young university, its possible that just looking at too many snaps of food on instagram or pinterest can actually curb your appetite for those same types of food. It is absolutely possible that looking at too much or even a lot of a specific type of food could decrease your desire for that food. Reporter but not everyone agrees. 30yearold Natasia Johnson has more than 4,000 followers on her Instagram Page that she devotes entirely to her love of sweets. It doesnt change my appetite. It probably makes me hungrier for food. Reporter for johnson and many like her, posting pictures of food has become a bit of an obsession. Im a little obsessed with instagram. I follow about 400 people. And it seems to not be enough. Every time my hand gets near the phone, instagrams the first thing i open. Reporter but picture this. According to the study, you cant count on one or two pictures of chocolate cake to make the real cake in front of you seem any less palatable. But after seeing 60 pictures of sweet foods, you might be less likely to enjoy the reallife cake and possibly eat less of it. For Good Morning America, linsey davis, abc news, new york. And for more on what some are saying, the Surprising New study, we turn to nutrition and wellness editor, dave zinczenko. You didnt bring any food. Were very disappointed. Thats right. The study says it doesnt make you hungry. Weve been watching this piece for the last minute. And were salivating. Its a little of a tough one to swallow because if you realize you have to, like, see 60 photos to hit whats called sensory boredom. Thats an overstimulation of your senses that lead you to not want to eat it anymore. And it has to be the food youre trying to avoid. So, thats brownies do not bore me. Im just going to say. This is becoming popular, posting food online. Everybody has to eat. Everybody loves food. And so, its the one conversation piece that anybody can have. So, whether its youre just talking about food, your pure love of food or your interest in weight loss or youre trying to stay on top of the merging nutrition and wellness trend, its very easy to get into food. But its not, again, as simple as you see a picture of an ice cream sandwich. So, you wont want an ice cream sandwich. You have to saturate, go beyond that point. The good news here is that people want to take sexy shots of food. That means colorful foods. Suddenly, nectarines, and lima beans and kale seems exotic. It tends to be healthier food. Looking at the pictures, youre right. Its beautiful. I still want to eat that brownie. In many cases youre talking about gorgeous food shots. Professional stylists and photographers. So, its easy to make it seem appetizing. When we try to make it at home, not so much. Thanks very much. Thank you. We have been blown away this week. What a treat. The finalists for our huge katy perry roar contests. High schools across the country submitting their videos. Supersmash anthem. Katy herself, picking one high school. And then, shell go and perform at the school on her bday, october 25th. Now, finally, our last finalist from Pickerington High School central, in pickerington, ohio. Here at pickerington high central, tiger pride is palpable. But when katy perry asked this high school to roar youre going to hear me roar reporter the students channeled a much different animal than their mascot. Two years ago, Shayna Fowler started the butterfly project, an organization designed to empower young women. Our goal is to remind people that they are valuable, lovable, capable and beautiful. Reporter darby burch teamed up with shayna to bring it to the small screen. Keeping one lyric from roar in mind. I am a champion i made a box that says im a champion. And we want people to submit their own stories and the stories in the video. Reporter they weaved these reallife stories together, showing what being a champion meant to them. Ive got the eye of the tiger they embraced the uniqueness of everybody. Every one of our students have a champion inside of them. Reporter holly plays as the main character in the video. Ive been through a lot of the same issues that the character i was portraying did. I wanted to use this role to speak for them. Reporter would the butterflies roar bring katy perry to pickerington central . Were inspired by her. We hope she would be inspired by us. Reporter three, two, one, roar. I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath scared to rock the boat and make a mess so, i sat quietly agreed politely i guess that i forgot i had a choice i let you push me past the breaking point i stood for nothing so, i fell for everything you held me down but i got up already brushing off the dust you hear my voice you hear that sound like thunder gonna shake the ground you held me down but i got but i got up you held me down but i got up get ready cause ive had enough i see it all i see it now i got the eye of the tiger a fighter dancing through the fire cause i am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar louder, louder than a lion cause i am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar roar, roar roar, roar i got the eye of the tiger a fighter dancing through the fire cause i am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar roar, roar roar, roar, roar i got the eye of the tiger a fighter dancing through the fire such energy. And there they are. The students of Pickerington High School central. And we welcome you to Good Morning America. So, i want to start with you, shayna. Hi. Tell me a little bit about the butterfly project. So intrinsic to your roar video. Yes. The butterfly project is something that i started with some friends when i was 15 years old. And basically, we just wanted to empower young women to be confident and to change the world. So, that gave me an entire new perspective when darby approached me to make this roar video, about what it meant to be a champion. You certainly get that from watching. We cannot stop smiling. Guys, katy perry is watching. Shes voting. What do you want her to know about your school and about this video that will seal the deal for you and get her to your school . Katy, first off, i want to say thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to participate in this competition. You have inspired our students. Youve empowered our staff.

Thank you, guys. Benedict cumberbatch. Just made people magazines one to watch list. And there are so many reasons why. From his acclaimed series sherlock. Star trek. Which ive seen twice in the last 48 hours. Twotime emmynominated actor. And adds to a string of singular performances. He plays julian assange, the wikileaks founder, who published topsecret information about the u. S. And other government activities. A decision that creates a very volatile relationship with his righthand man. Never have a bunch of internet chats and Text Messages been so intense until today. Thanks for coming in today. I want to get to the film. You reach out, rightfully, to julian assange, to perhaps discuss whatever you might discuss. And he waits and contacts you the day before filming is to begin with an email that takes a bit of a shot at the script and the film in general. It was a hard thing to take. But quite within his rights to reply, since the film is based on his character and events that he was part of. I wanted that response. I wanted to gauge his feelings. I was hoping to meet him. He felt very strongly. But in a charming, polite email that he thought the film would be poisonous to him and his cause.
