She was terrific. Big day for President Trump. He has just arrived in israel. As you can imagine there is massive security there. This is the first time a president s ever gone to israel in his first foreign trip. As you know when you go on these trips there are a lot of rules in these big events. Even World Leaders seem to have a little confusion about where to stand. Take a look at what the cameras caught this morning. They have all this protocol. We never know what it is. What is the protocol . Who knows. Had the same issue with obama. At the inaugural. He has a packed schedule including a meeting with israels president Reuven Rivlin and of course, a meeting with israels Prime Minister, benjamin netanyahu. Later he heads to europe where he will meet with the pope and other World Leaders. Jon karl is in jerusalem and has the latest details. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, robin. President trump made history the moment his plane touched down here in israel. It is the very first time that air force one has gone directly to israel from saudi arabia, a country that is both the birthplace of islam, and one that has absolutely no relations whatsoever with israel and no direct flights. The president arrived in israel in pursuit of what he calls the ultimate deal. Middle east peace. I have come to this sacred and ancient land to reaffirm the unbreakable bond between the United States and the state of israel. Reporter no american president has visited israel so early in his presidency. But President Trump started his trip in saudi arabia. The heart of the islamic world. There in the birthplace of islam, an image that not long ago would have been impossible to imagine. Donald trump offering a message of unity to the worlds Muslim Leaders. Terrorists do not worship god. They worship death. This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects or different civilizations. This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people all in the name of religion. Reporter in the audience the leaders of more than 50 different muslim nations. I stand before you as a representative of the American People to deliver a message of friendship and hope and love. That is why i chose to make my first foreign visit a trip to the heart of the muslim world. Reporter the president s words and his tone dramatically different from the campaign when he proposed banning all muslims from entering the u. S. And portrayed islam as the enemy. I think islam hates us. Theres something theres something there that is a tremendous hatred there. Reporter this time, talk of partnership and cooperation in the war on terror, but he did challenge these leaders to take the lead in defeating the terrorists in their midst. A Better Future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and drive out the extremists. Drive them out. Drive them out. Reporter and before he left saudi arabia, there was this incredible image, the president and the king hands on a glowing orb. What were they doing . Opening up a new center in saudi arabia to counter extremists online. The president will be meeting here with israeli Prime Minister bibi netanyahu, and palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas. These will be separate meetings for the talk of a peace deal by President Trump, the two sides at this point arent even talking to each other about it yet. George. Okay, jon. Thanks very much. Lets bring in our chief Global Affairs correspondent, martha raddatz, to talk more about this right now as jon said. We know the meeting with the israeli Prime Minister will be today and hes got a Good Relationship with bibi netanyahu. But its trickier now because of the revelation that the president shared highly classified Israeli Intelligence with the russians. You know, you may see these magnificent ceremonies and unshakable bond in public but there is a whole lot going on in Israeli Intelligence Community Behind the scenes. Its hard to imagine that the president and Prime Minister netanyahu will spend any time talking about it. It will be done in the intelligence communities, security communities but make no mistake. This was a major issue and infuriated Israeli Intelligence. Youre talking about putting the lives of spies at risk and israel will think twice about sharing that kind of intelligence, george. The president there with the israeli president Reuven Rivlin right now, and martha, the president is personally getting invested in this whole issue of middle east peace trying to drive a peace deal between the two. Many of his predecessors have tried and failed. Reporter its one of the most complicated issues on the planet. I watched this process for decades and just when you think you have made progress, it comes to a screeching halt. Its always good to be optimistic, but analysts i have spoken to dont see anything that President Trumps team has done that gives them any great hope. There will be middle east peace, in fact, i think they are less optimistic that it will happen under this administration, george. The president will try to prove them wrong. Martha raddatz, thanks very much. Now to the latest on the russia investigation. New questions this morning about President Trumps meeting with russian officials and what he said about former fbi director james comey. Our senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas has more and joins us with those details. Good morning, pierre. Reporter robin, good morning. Allegations of namecalling from President Trump only likely to fuel the war of words with the former fbi director who is set to testify before congress in the coming weeks. Even as the president travels overseas, questions about russia and the firing of the fbi director remain front and center. These questions need to be answered. Reporter new reports say federal investigators are looking into whether there were ties between the Trump Campaign and russia are interested in a white house staffer. The staffer has not been identified, and its unclear what the investigators want. I dont know where this is going to go. Again, we have got to step back and let the investigators and the fbi and the others do their job. Reporter newly appointed special counsel bob mueller is gearing up for an investigation and many who know him say it will be broad and aggressive. This as fired fbi director james comey preparing to testify before the Senate Intelligence committee. The New York Times reporting President Trump allegedly called him a nut job in the oval office during that meeting with top russian officials. Reportedly adding that firing comey took great pressure off him. Is that what the president said . Well, i dont remember exactly what the president said, the gist of the conversation was that the president feels as if hes hamstrung. Reporter the investigation into russia is not going anywhere, and with the testimony of comey on the horizon, more dramatic moments surely to come, george. Okay, pierre, thanks very much. As those continue on capitol hill this Week Congress is going to get its first look at President Trumps full budget and he promises to balance the budget in ten years with big cuts in medicaid and mary bruce has the details. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning. Were getting a new glimpse at the president s Spending Priorities and one of his top targets entitlements. His budget which will be released tomorrow will slash the safety nets by 1. 7 trillion including massive cuts to medicaid, food stamps and other antipoverty programs. Now, as the president promised on the campaign trail he is not touching Social Security or medicare. Now the president has also called for a big boost in military spending. 54 billion coupled with cuts to foreign aid and other domestic programs, but already the president s plan is being met with a bit of a Cold Shoulder by members of both parties, but as always the president s budget just a jumping off point for negotiations up on capitol hill. Just the beginning, thanks very much. Lets talk about it more with our chief political analyst, matthew dowd, and you look at the description that mary just gave. This is the president doubling down on what we saw on the house plan to repeal and replace obamacare and thats not popular. Well, no, and i think this plan is based on a couple of premises i think assumptions wont go right. One is on the house plan passing in the senate which looks like it met a buzz saw and the other thing is these series of tax cuts that are baked into in that will somehow grow the economy and that will fix the budget. I think the problem donald trump has in order to do something this dramatic and draconian in many ways requires a lot of Political Capital and he doesnt have a full gas tank. He doesnt even have half a gas tank. He has a third of a gas tank so tough to get it through. He does appear to be getting a break from the controversies at home on this first trip overseas. Yeah, i think his first trip so far, i mean, one of the lessons you would think he would learn is giving set speeches on a teleprompter usually gets you applause, and usually gets you people so, so far, no errors. I dont know how many runs are scored. When you look at these foreign trips i recall a lot of president ial foreign trips that didnt do anything within the country. Richard nixon made a dramatic trip in 1974, and didnt change the public view and bill clinton made a middle eastern trip ten days before election day and was applauded and came back and dramatically lost elections. Got wiped out. Got wiped out. Thanks very much. We move from politics to the tragedy at the university of maryland. The fbi is now investigating a 22yearold student for a possible hate crime after he allegedly stabbed another young student. Abcs Adrienne Bankert is on the scene for us there in college park, maryland. Good morning, adrienne. Reporter good morning to you, too, robin. The violence happening right behind us here at this bus stop on the edge of campus. There are a couple of candles still burning in memory of Robert Collins iii. While many in the College Community are still grieving, investigators say they might be closer to a motive. A student behind bars this morning for a stabbing, and now the fbi is investigating whether 22yearold university of maryland student Sean Christopher urbanski committed a hate crime. Identified by witnesses and taken into custody sunday, urbanski is charged with the first degree murder of Richard Collins iii, a Bowie University state senior. We came upon information within the last 12 hours that concerns us quite a bit with regard to motive. Reporter investigators suspect the brutal killing was motivated by prejudice after police found urbanski belongs to Facebook Group altreich nation. It shows extreme bias against women, latinos, members of the jewish faith and especially, africanamericans. Reporter at around 3 00 a. M. Saturday, responding University Officers discovered collins on a sidewalk suffering from serious injuries. Collins two friends say they were waiting for an uber at this bus stop at the edge of campus when urbanski approached and stabbed collins in his chest. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. Now, witnesses including collins friends say there were reports that urbanski could be heard screaming at collins saying step left if you know whats good for you and when collins looked at him puzzled and said no, thats when reportedly, urbanski stabbed him in the chest but still waiting for more details about their interaction leading up to that attack. We know there are unconfirmed reports there could be a bond hearing scheduled today. Robin. So tragic. Thank you so much. Sickening story right there. The latest on bill cosbys Sexual Assault trial. Hes been accused by 60 women. This case centers on one, and jury selection set so start this morning in pittsburgh. Abcs linsey davis is outside the courthouse with the story. Good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning, george. Here we are 300 miles away from Montgomery County where the actual trial will take place. Thats because cosbys attorneys were successful at arguing the point that residents there are too tainted. But the question now is can you find an unbiased jury anywhere in this country capable of determining the fate of bill cosby . The famed comedian is being tried on charges that he drugged and sexually assaulted former Temple University employee Andrea Constand in his bah home in 2004. Constand is 1 of more than 50 women that came forward, accusing the 79yearold one time known as americas favorite dad, of assault or harassment. The jurors will be sequestered during the twoweek trial. Cosby is not expected to take the witness stand. In addition to constand, the judge says he will allow testimony from one other accuser. Now, cosby has all along maintained his innocence. If he is found to be guilty, he faces up to ten years in prison, george. Linsey davis, thanks very much. Amy here with todays other top stories starting with a sad one from mt. Everest. An american doctor is among four climbers who died trying to scale the mountain. Dr. Roland yearwood was trying to climb the tallest peaks. On all seven continents. This was his second attempt to climb everest. He escaped an avalanche triggered by an earthquake the first time. Well, overnight, north korea claimed its ready to mass produce the missile it tested on sunday. Its harder to detect than those using liquid fuel, and south korea says it throws cold water on peace efforts. Vice president mike pence faced protesters as he gave the commencement address at notre dame. Before the speech, dozens of students walked out before the speech and he spoke about the suppression of free speech on college campuses. And some good news about the michigan firefighter seen in this dramatic video as part of a gas station collapsed all around him. Look at that. He was trapped for two minutes until he was rescued. He has now been released from the hospital after being treated for burns. Incredible. A management shakeup at ford. The automaker replacing its ceo hoping to boost its stock price days after announcing layoffs. Jim hackett who has led fords efforts for selfdriving cars is now expected to take over. And finally, a big stunner in the nba playoffs. Woo woo, says robin. The celtics hit a lastsecond threepointer to beat the cavaliers. There it goes. 111108. They were trailing by 21 points in the Third Quarter but managed to hold lebron james scoreless in the fourth quarter. Their rally especially remarkable considering they were blown out by a record 44 points on friday and they played without their star as we heard about on friday, isaiah thomas. Woo. Game four is tomorrow. Cavs first loss of the postseason. Series on. Series on. Its going to be a good one. Still a long way before its over. Well see. Were going to go now to that big goodbye to the big top. After 146 years, ringling brothers and Barnum Bailey circus packed up its tents and trapeze forever this past weekend, and the producers of the event known as the greatest show on earth say low ticket sales and pressure from Animal Rights groups made them force to close and the shows emotional final moments ringmaster Jonathan Lee Iverson closed this goodbye to the audience.

Shes always game but she was nervous. She was talking about it on friday that this is probably the biggest stunt yet, taking all of her courage. I like doing it from the couch, though. Robin, you got to bring us a look at your interview with billy bush. Speaking out for the First Time Since last october when that tape came out from access hollywood that surfaced of him with donald trump, and i sat down with billy bush, opening up about the moment one of his daughters saw the tape. Heres a bit of a look. What was it like for you to go back home after the tape had been released to face your daughters, your wife . What was that moment like for you . Well, the initial moments were total chaos. The paparazzi were never interested in me before and now outside the gate and ready to go but once we settled and got to connect, there was a powerful moment. My now 16yearold daughter called me and she was in tears. And she was upset, and i said, mary, its going to be okay. You know, dont worry. And she said, no, why were you laughing at things that he was saying on that bus . Why were you playing along, dad . It wasnt funny. I said, mary, i am sorry, and there is no good answer for that. Wow. Had to be the hardest part. Its one thing for total strangers or someone on twitter or social media but for your teenage daughter to say why . He has three daughters. Right . He has three daughters, right. That was the middle daughter. And it was truly remorseful you know, truly makes no, no excuses whatsoever, explains that moment, again, that was 11 years ago when the tape surfaced and he really was very open about discussing anything and everything and where he is now. Look forward to seeing the full story tomorrow. See if he has talked with donald trump since the release of the tape so the full interview tomorrow here on gma. Right now well move on to President Trumps first trip overseas. First lady and ivanka trump taking the stage as they travel across the middle east. Our senior white house correspondent, cecilia vega, is traveling with the first family in jerusalem. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter hey, george, good morning to you. Two days in saudi arabia and President Trump never once publicly mentioned the issue of human rights. His aides say he pressed leaders privately behind the scenes. Speaking to that room packed with Muslim Leaders, President Trump made his message clear. We are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be or how to worship. Reporter it was Melania Trump who sent a different kind of message, stepping off air force one without a head scarf. In this religiously conservative country where it can be seen as a sign of disrespect, the saudis welcomed her with open arms, a far cry from First Lady Michelle Obama whose bare head sparked controversy in 2015. Among her critics at the time, donald trump who tweeted, we have enough enemies. Both the first lady and first daughter met with local women during their trip. Ivanka trump telling a group of leaders their countrys progress is encouraging but theres still a lot of work to be done. At an all Women Business center Melania Trump was asked about work life balance. Her response, you need to balance and find the time. But outside in the capital of riyadh we saw the harsh reality. Day, as a woman in saudi arabia i wouldnt be allowed to go into this door at a mcdonalds. I would have to go through this side that says family section. Completely segregated. There is a wall that keeps the women separate from the men. And night. One of the basic rights that women dont have, theyre not legally allowed to drive. Most rely on a driver or even uber. Even if President Trump didnt publicly address the plight of women in saudi arabia, it was part of his visit anyway. Country star toby keith held a free concert. American flags lined the stage but in the audience men only. Women not allowed. And this photo of a sea of men at a Technology Event the president attended sparked controversy online. A saudi official fired back with a photo of his own saying the center does have women here on the second floor. Yeah, women on the second floor there in that building. So, again, the president and his senior advisers tell us that the strategy for him was to press these issues very directly behind the scenes, george. They say his approach is to raise these issues quietly and to expect results. Okay, cecilia, thanks very much. Lets talk now to Anita Mcbride who served as chief of staff to first lady laura bush, thanks for joining us this morning. You prepared for trips like this in the past but this one really unique, a high highprofile role for the first lady and first daughter. Yes, and isnt the president lucky to have them as added surrogates and advocates for him on this trip . It is an important trip and to start in saudi arabia, we know, of course, its the most gender segregated country in the world but they are making reforms and theyre doing it on their own timetable and i remember King Abdullah saying that to mrs. Bush in a private meeting that he had with her, this has to be done according to their norms and culture. And the diversification of their economy moving away from oil has allowed women to enter the workplace and to contribute to their economy and that helps to give them a seat at the table incrementally and i think thats one thing the first lady and both ivanka trump alluded to in their visits yesterday. Right, they did speak out about womens empowerment but some critics say they didnt go far enough. You know what, i think there was one point cecilia said in her piece. The president was not there to lecture, and americans really shouldnt be there to lecture, but to push the point on human rights and womens rights. If its done quietly, that is appropriate, george. Again, it takes time for these changes to happen and they are and you heard the president of the world bank mention yesterday too that even this womens Economic Empowerment fund is taking off even a lot faster than he predicted and that is something that will help and contribute to women in saudi arabia. We did see the President Trump criticize First Lady Michelle Obama for not wearing a head scarf. Right. He shouldnt have done that. He shouldnt have done that, again, he was not steeped in the issues of protocol. He is not a politician and not a diplomat and hes learning and clearly, this is a great example of that, and robin knows because she traveled with us in 2007 with mrs. Bush. None of us wore head scarfs and we were talking about issues that were very edgy at the time, breast cancer, no saudi woman or man mentioned that word in public so, again, these steps are moving slowly. I remember being at the hotel with mrs. Bush and i went to work out and i didnt know that there was a workout for the women. I went to the big gym. Uhoh. They came and got me and said, no, you have to go to another one and part of me wanted to speak out and part of me was im there with mrs. Bush. I know what youre talking about but i did as myself go and talk to people but i could not do as much as i wanted to. Because of circumstances. Right. As a western women we get back up on that but, again, i think even in the time since we were there, robin, the steps are coming slowly. Women are able to vote in local elections. King abdullah who you had met with us and mrs. Bush really was committed to reforms but a timetable of their choosing, not ours. I remember that. Anita mcbride, thanks very much. Coming up in two minutes, a terrifying moment caught on camera. A sea lion grabbing a young girl pulling her into the water. She is okay. Well tell you what happened next. Next. For millions of baby boomers theres a serious virus out there thats been almost forgotten. Its hepatitis c. One in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most dont even know it. Because it can hide in your body for years without symptoms, and its not tested for in routine blood work. The cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested. If you have hep c, it can be cured. For us its time to get tested. Ask your Healthcare Provider for the simple blood test. Its the only way to know for sure. Im not a customer, but im calling about that credit scorecard. Give it. Sure its free for everyone. Oh well thats nice and checking your score wont hurt your credit. Oh im so proud of you. Well thank you. Free at at discover. Com creditscorecard, even if youre not a customer. Euven andwere now with that in rescue after a sea lion grabbed a young girl who was sitting there on the pier. Dragged her underwater and abcs gio benitez has more. Thankfully shes okay. Thats right, robin. We cant tell you that enough. Shes okay and seems to walk away unhurt but the video is frightening. Its a reminder of how dangerous it is to feed a wild animal. Just take a look at this. Reporter its the shocking sea lion attack caught on tape. Watch again as it yank a girl off the dock taking her right into the murky waters below. Near seconds later her quick thinking grandfather jumps in to rescue pulling her back to safety. Didnt look like she was able to swim. I thin she was about to drown. But her family members jumped in right away. Like a second after. So everything was good. Reporter the group was feeding the sea lion. They put out signs saying do not feed the sea lions. Reporter more curious and violent and experts say could have mistaken the girls dress for a piece of fish. You want to go the other way. Theyre massive animals with temper tantrums and can be aggressive. Weve seen them engage with kids before like in this 2013 viral video showing a concerned sea lion stopping in its tracks before a young girl fell. Reporter and while attacks are rare, aggressively curious interactions with humans have happened like this driver who had a close encounter. And this 2015 runin with a fisherman in san diego. This was likely a california sea lion which can grow up to 7 feet and weigh nearly 900 pounds, swimming at speeds up to 24 miles per hour, staying underwater for as long as 15 minutes. That sea lion was put into a bad situation. He felt the only thing he could do was to show his aggression. Wow, experts caution people shouldnt get too close to these animals. Just respect their space to prevent attacks like this. The Harbor Authority said it had warning signs but now theyre adding even more, but, boy, oh, boy, that grandfather went right there to help. That was scary. That video is the biggest warning sign of them all. Absolutely. And you know what . Well switch gears, and coming up on our big board, from cher to celine.

Before you reach for the juice this morning the American Academy of pediatrics is out with new recommendations on how much they should drink and babies shouldnt have it at all and our senior medical contributor, dr. Jennifer ashton, is here. A nutritionist as well. Whats behind this . Any time you see doctors weighing in on diet, food, nutrition, its usually because there is a pretty conclusive association between a food or beverage and a health or disease outcome. Thats what we see going on right now. We have the countrys top pediatricians weighing in on fruit juice for babies, kids and teens, and while some 100 fruit juice can be okay, in general it doesnt pack the nutritional punch that a lot of parents think it does. Tell us more why theyre making these recommendations. First of all, from a nutritional standpoint, too much fruit juice in kids has been associated with poor nutrition, and increased risk of tooth decay. We know that its not good for the teeth. That dentists know about that and increased risk of g. I. Juices and unpasteurized juices can contain harmful bacteria and potential for drug juice interactions. We heard with grapefruit juice. Kids who take medication need to keep that in mind. Should not rely solely on the juice . If you put the fruit juice version headtohead with the whole fruit version as we have here, if you look at just eight ounces of apple juice you see about 114 calories, 24 grams of sugar which is a lot and zero dietary fiber. When you compare that the apple the big difference is in the fiber. Youre getting four grams of fiber in the whole fruit and that is really important for g. I. Issues so you always want to reach for the whole fruit versus the juice. How much juice is okay . If you take a look at this chart, this is pretty important. Babies to 1 year of age really none unless recommended by a pediatrician which sometimes does happen. When youre talking about toddlers 1 to 3 years of age, 4 ounces a day. No more. Four to 6yearold, easy to remember, 4 to 6 ounces and 7 to 18, 8 ounces per day, no more. This is really important. You want to go for the whole fruit version. I can sense them putting down the juice at home. Step away from the juice. Thank you very much. Michael. All right, thank you, robin. Coming up, we have new details just coming out this morning on Pippa Middletons wedding. And, of course, we are live from atlantis in the bahamas where ginger is swimming with the sharks. And i have it right here. You can go to our Facebook Page and see every angle just by swiping around. Look at that. Im going up, down. Sharks. There we go.

We are back now on gma and i got to say we cant wait to see your exclusive with billy bush. Just teasing us. Did he talk to trump . Youll have to wait and see what he has to say about that. People want to know why is he talking now . Its been seven months, and i said, you know, people will think youre trying to get a job. He said had he talked to me just two months ago or a few months ago that probably would be the case but its really a process and a lot of soul searching and he truly wants to help people but, you know, people want to know and he said its kind of ironic, the irony of the fact he lost his job and donald trump is now president of the United States. Yeah. Tomorrow well hear a lot more on that. And for right now we got details on the big wedding. Pippa middletons wedding and honeymoon and abcs lama hasan is at Kensington Palace with for on it all. Good morning, lama. Reporter and good morning, to you, michael.

As for the bride and groom, well, they are wasting no time. Already on their honeymoon spotted at l. A. X. This morning. Reportedly jetting off to a private island once owned by marlon brando. This morning, new details on the newly minted mr. And mrs. Matthews society wedding. Clearly the wedding of the year. Reporter a look inside pippas own fairy tale wedding, the church adorned with beautiful blooms of white and pink flowers. Transforming this 12th Century Church into an enchanting garden. The creme de la creme of British Society and, of course, the pintsized royals and Princess Charlotte wowed as bridesmaid and Prince George had a dressing down from mum and the couple driving off in a carriage of sorts, their very own vintage etype jaguar to mingle with their guests at their reception on pippas family estate a lavish affair according to the daily telegraph, military precision including the waiting staff reportedly hiring models. What they want to do is not have couples sit together so they were talking amongst themselves. They wanted everyone to mingle. Reporter even prince harry who made the 100mile dash to london to fetch sweetheart, Meghan Markle and head back to the reception did not sit together. Inside the huge glass marquee that was erected, that was the party house. That was where the younger guys, girls let down their hair. Reporter as the sun was setting the Wedding Party enjoyed a spitfire flypast followed by a dazzling light display before the guests partied the night away. And with no expense spared, the Middleton Family reportedly shelling out an eyewatering 800,000 on pippas wedding in their own backyard and as you just heard with a dazzling light display which meant the wedding bash was going strong until 4 00 a. M. , guys. It was a real knees up. Thats a british term. Lama knows that one, knees up. Thats how you party. Thank you, lama hasan. We appreciate it. Thats how you do it.

Well have another abc 7 news update in about 30 minutes and always on our free abc 7 news app. Join reggie, mike, alexis, jessica 24 karat magic in the air welcome back to gma. Our live shot from our drone in the air at the atlantis resort in the bahamas. And we are live in times square as well with a great audience kicking off our week with us. And as you can see, we have a delicious treat that couldnt wait through the commercial break before you jumped in. These are conch fritters and these were sent to us from our friends at the atlantis in the bahamas. So thank you guys, very much, for giving us a little break fast and ginger is out there too for the first ever live 360 Virtual Reality shark dive. We give her a lot of credit. This is one adventurous woman. She is 45 feet under water on the ray of hope shipwreck surrounded by sharks as you can see right there. Dont worry shes also with shark expert and a master scuba diver. Liz parkinson. How is it going down there below . Oh, my goodness, you guys are we are in it this swarm of sharks and at certain points in the swarm actually makes a current so im with Liz Parkinson keeping me anchored right here on the deck of the ray of hope. I have to tell you, its such an incredible experience. Its like im inside your aquarium or we are, the worlds aquarium. Liz, when people say this is crazy, its not, right . No, this is its an amazing educational standpoint, these sharks really are advocates of the ocean and every person we bring down here, we really hope become ambassadors for the Marine Conservation and everything were doing to try to protect them. Were doing it the safest way possible. We have stuart over here. 40 plus years of working with sharks. Hes going to feed the sharks in the right way, only feeding them grouper and what is natural to their diet so youll get to see them feed. Youll get to see their gills move and, of course, youll get to see us right here on our Virtual Reality camera if you go to good morning americas Facebook Page. Some of these sharks have names, the joker shark i see coming right now and they actually look you in the eye. They are so almost friendly. Is that strange for me to say theyre friendly . No, its great. Yeah and liz is going to actually do something for us here. This is fascinating. Shes going to go ahead and try to do something thats very difficult but its immobility and a natural thing that happens to sharks to other fish and different parts of the sea. What shes going to do here is try to tickle kind of the snout of a shark and it will put it in a temporary hypnosis. That temporary hypnosis could help researchers to explain a little bit more about whats going on within the shark its a very difficult thing to do. We thought, why not try it live . You know, maybe we get it because i can then touch the shark without any incident. She obviously has chainmeal on her arms and stuart has it on his hands. But the swarm is getting very excited. Shes trying right now. Tonic immobility is very difficult, but, guys, it is so fascinating down here and its actually at this point mating season so a lot of these sharks are pregnant and i asked before i came down, i hope that a lot of these sharks are not as cranky as i was when there she goes is there shes got a hold of one right there. [ applause ] look at his eyes look like theyre rolling back in his head. Walk us through all the Safety Measures you took, ginger. Erc o. The Safety Measures are immense. You have to have your flippers, you have to be covered head to toe and then on top of it you obviously have to have your dive certification and these guys have so many years with shark, they know how they work. They know what theyre looking for and what they wont react to. They also have a very, you know, theyve done research with teams from different universities and here shes got one, guys, oh, he got away. She got away. Most of these are also female sharks. Here in the bahamas they have a high population of female sharks which are typically a little less aggressive and bigger than males. And, ginger, can liz hear us as well . Liz, can hear you as well. Hey, liz, i have a question. How important for everybody out there is shark conservation to our ecosystem . I know theres been a loss in population of sharks. Shark conservation is super important to the ecology of the underwater marine life anywhere in the world, the bahamas the government made the bahamas one of the Worlds Largest shark sanctuaries so sharks are protected throughout the country. There is no buying or selling of any shark products, the apex predator in the ocean and super important to keep this natural circle of life going so that it balances out the ecosystem. They get so close to us, michael, i cant even tell you. Yeah. Hey, keep those hands tucked in, ginger. Ginger. Theyre in. Half a Million People are watching right now. Over 500,000 on our Facebook Page. Can you describe to them, they feel like theyre there with you just describe to them what its like to be where you are right now. The only thing you arent feeling is when the shark actually looks you right in the eye and then touches you. I have been right now grazed by right now theres a tail hitting me because i believe liz has this shark in tonic immobility. Guys, we did it. Its happening right now so ill touch the sharks tail if thats okay, liz. If you did that to me i think i would do the same thing. It works on my dog. So beautiful. Oh, my goodness. Oh, look at that. This is what you cant feel in Virtual Reality. So whats happened to the shark there . What happened actually . Taking a nap. It happened right here and im telling you, i have his fin in my hand, guys. Its so soft and gorgeous and like so strong. You can feel the strength because every single part of a shark is working and you can feel the muscle and the cartilage and all of their body is cartilage except for their jaw and teeth so that they can whip around in the ocean so quickly. Wow, this is amazing. Oh. Ginger. Tell me when i shouldnt do this anymore, liz. Ginger, how long will that shark stay in a catatonic state . It can stay in tonic immobility for 15 minutes. Thats the average. Oh, there he goes. There she goes. Up to 15 minutes so we got it. Im not supposed to put my land out. All right. Way to listen up, ginger, linger, liz, thank you both very much. What an experience. Were not done yet. Weve got more with ginger just ahead and jesse palmer, hes not too far away. Hes at atlantis resort in the bahamas this morning and having the time of his life. Look at this guy. But hes also with the dolphins and [ applause ] just saying this is so cute. I love that. Thank you. International sensation priyanka chopra, she is the star of abcs hit show, we love her, quantico and hugely popular, both here and back in india and now shes making her hollywood big screen debut. I watched it last night, baywatch. She plays a villain. She makes like it difficult for dwayne the rock johnson and his team of lifeguards. How many girls can say that . All of you, were having an open house, meet the neighbors thing and, look, i know that the club is kind of fancy and probably not your scene, but you have a standing invitation. Thank you. Keep that in mind. Whoop. Whoa. Easy. You okay . Yeah. Ill see you there. See you then. Just so happens, ah. Oh. Oh. Oh, okay. And he fell for it too. Exactly. So this is your first hollywood film. Yes. It must have been exciting for you. Youve been in 50 films. Baywatch happens to be my 51st film. But it is my First American movie and im very excited about it because, you know, after playing alex who is such a positive character in quantico i think to go completely in the other direction was a lot of fun. You do she does go completely in the other direction. Its delicious and had you watched baywatch as a child . I was 6 or 7 or Something Like that. Okay, so thank you. But, yes, the answer to the question is yes and i used to love the show. It was one of my moms favorite shows and when the music starts in the beginning, the da, da, da, da, dish. That sound and i remember that used to be like our cue to jump to the couch and be like, oh, my god, its starting. I believe thats what america looked like for the longest time. They were all back lit and running in slow motion. Nobody had jobs. Everybody would hang out at the beach, everyone is blond and in great shape and i landed in new york city at 12. Not so much. Not here in new york. Were proud. Were proud of new york and not hike that but were proud. Im glad people have jobs and everyone is not blond, you know. Did you have so much fun playing the villain, though, because thats a little different for you. Usually you play the good guy. I played a negative character in my indian films sometimes but i think what was cool here was victoria, my character was written for a guy initially. It was called victor leeds. Victoria is so much better. Oh, yes, yes. If i may say so. [ applause ] so that was cool to, you know, be offered a part which was initially written of and thought of for a guy and secondly shes such a proud feminist and strong character that, you know, like i mean one of my favorite scenes shes talking to one of her henchman and her heel is inside his foot the whole time and shes like, you listen to me and it was things like that which was so absurd that there were so much fun. Another role that is always played by men, james bond. I can see you because, you know [ applause ] come on, now. In the movie you have a line about youre not a bond villain yet. Enough about the bond villain. Play james bond. I said that in a few interviews before but why not . I hope in my lifetime whether i play it or not someone like theres a female james bond, it would be so cool to see women take on iconic characters in entertain many. I would love that to happen. That would be great. We love you here at abc. Thank you, quantico third season. Third season. [ applause ] when you first came on you were a little nervous if the show would take off. You have to be excited. I love playing alex and being back for a third season will be great. Thank you, priyanka chopra, please. Thank you. [ applause ] thank you. And she does sort of have a dance scene because you foe for does sort of have a dance scene. You got baywatch hits theaters may 25th. Ginger. Do you see what shes been doing . Shes my new hero. She could play james bond. Priyanka, so glad i get to say hi to you, priyanka. Under the sea. Here we are.
