>> linsey, please stay safe there. for the terrorists behind this attack, big questions about who they are and conflicting reports about whether americans were involved. the kenyan foreign minister making claims that several u.s. citizens were part of this massive attack. brian ross has been digging into this part of the story. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the kenyan foreign minister was in new york monday. and told pbs that two or three young american men were among the attackers. describing them as 18 or 19 years old and from minneapolis or another place. this morning, the fbi says they have not been able to confirm her claims. and there's no reliable information whether americans were involved. >> and the same foreign minister mentioned the possibility of a british woman being involved. >> reporter: she did. she said there's a woman involved in this. and the british foreign office has told us they can't confirm that, either. kenyan officials on the ground had told us yesterday that there were no women, but men dressed as women. these reports are contradictory. and perhaps the kenyan president will sort it all out at a news conference later today. >> an extremely aggressive group, as we saw there. and there's concern about here. >> absolutely, because what is known as a fact, many americans -- 50 americans have been recruited to go there. many have been killed. some of them brought back here and charged. but there's a number of americans in that group, somewhere in africa. and there's great concern that what they've learned in africa, they could bring home here. >> brian, thanks so much. >> thank you, guys. now, to president obama's push for a diplomatic breakthrough with one of america's toughest adversaries, iran. president obama and the iranian president are in new york today for the u.n. general assembly. and there's talk about a possible meeting between the two leaders. abc's jon karl here to cover all that. and jon, there hasn't been a meeting like this in over 30 years. >> reporter: this would be historic. the last time was jimmy carter and the shah of iran, in 1977. this would be a big deal. at this point, based from what i'm hearing from white house officials, i would be surprised if the meeting doesn't happen. i think it would just be a simple handshake. but what white house officials are saying is there's nothing scheduled at this point, which is code for -- >> they're trying to make it happen. see what the iranians would do, as well. the president knew there were letters exchanged. and there were signs of openness and flexibility on the nuclear issue from the new iranian president. >> reporter: no question. he came here before leaving tehran, said he is open to flexibility and negotiation. clearly, there's signs of reconciliation. but nothing substantial yet. nothing concrete. what you will hear from president obama in his speech before the u.n. general assembly today are some very strong words directed at iran. making it clear if they want better relations with the west, they have to rein in that nuclear program. >> there's some fears this would be a diplomatic track. >> reporter: to doubt. that the fear is that iran is doing this to stall for time, to build that nuclear program up. iran wants the sanctions lifted, too. they're economy has been ground down. that's why you'll hear tough words from the president again. they have to do something concrete on the ground. zbrefrg test >> everything tested today. thank you, jon karl. >> the bonus of having the president in town. we get jon karl here. >> thanks, jon. let's get the other top stories from josh. >> we're going to start with startling news from the korean peninsula. news that north korea appears to have moved one step closer to a nuclear bomb. two u.s. nuclear experts say north korean scientists have the capability to build crucial equipment for uranium-based nuclear weapons. there are reports that they have possibly already tested long-range rockets. and some troubling new details about washington navy yard gunman aaron alexis. a navy report says alexis lied about a previous arrest when he applied for clearance. it says government investigators deleted any reference to his use of a gun in that arrest. his security clearance allowed him into the building where he killed 12 workers last week. and happen right now, firefighters trying to tackle a fast-moving blaze, burning out of control east of los angeles. the madre fire is threatening dozens of homes. you see this one here, tweeted by a neighbor. the fire has more than quadrupled in size overnight. it is now nearly 200 acres. and it's only 5% contained. some good news, though, for those about to start a morning commute. gas prices are going down again. but by how much? and where? abc's gio benitez has the answers. gio, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, josh. good news, indeed. gas prices are falling across america. some experts believe we could soon see them as low as $3 a gallon. the price of gas is down to less than $3.50 a gallon, dropping 5 cents last week. but that price is down 33 cents compared to last year. for the cheapest gas, look a on the gulf coast. $3.23 a gallon. most expensive is still on the west coast, though, $3.87 a gallon there. if prices dropped to $3 a gallon, it would be the first time that happens in three years. the experts point to the end of summer driving season, for one reason that's happening. and refineries are switching to cheaper gas during the winter. >> all right, gio, thank you for that. now, to an incredible car crash. i want to tell you right away, no one involved here was seriously hurt. but take a look. you see a sedan coming down a road. it turns into the path of that lamborghini. if you take a look again, that's a $400,000 car crashing into a tree. but what we want to show you, that car breaks into two pieces, because that's what it is built to do. it reduces the energy of the crash. this is technology we've seen in professional autoracing. it takes the energy away from the driver and the passengers, helping to keep everyone safe inside. no word on a repair bill. and finally, the president has a very, very powerful incentive not to smoke. mrs. obama. take a look. president obama, chatting privately with a u.n. official yesterday. when the subject turned to smoking. and that open microphone caught this from the president. >> yeah, sometimes i chew nicorette. no, no. i haven't smoked a thing in six years. that's cause i'm scared of my wife. >> yep, you heard it right. no, no. i'm scared of my wife. jon karl, track that down, jon. it's not exactly a scoop, i suppose. >> the smile on his face. >> thank you, josh. now, to a big change that could make flying a little more enjoyable. an faa advisory panel is meeting today, looking at new rules that could ease restrictions on electronic devices, allowing fliers to keep them on during takeoff and landing. lisa stark joins us from reagan national airport in washington. good morning, lisa. >> reporter: good morning, robin. that advisory panel will make its recommendation to the faa within the next week. then, it's up to the agency to decide how to move forward on electronic devices and how quickly to do it. the advisory panel knows americans are in love with their electronic devices. and when they get on an airplane, breaking up is hard to do. >> turn off and stow all portable electronics devices. >> reporter: anyone who flies knows the drill. power off that phone, computer, tablet, during critical takeoff and landing, until the plane reaches an altitude of 10,000 feet. the panel is finalizing guidelines for the faa to help loosen those rules. its job is to figure out how to do that without compromising safety. >> these devices have the potential to interfere with airplane systems and airplane radios during flight. >> reporter: there's little hard evidence of any major problems in the air. but manufacturers are adding shielding. and at boeing, they're testing electronic devices in a quiet room, to check for possible interference. nearly one-third of passengers forget to turn off their devices, according to one poll. >> when i actually landed, i went to turn it on and saw that it was on. >> reporter: and many are convinced their electronics are not a hazard. >> i fly corporate aircraft a lot. and there's no technical problems. >> reporter: the faa is poised to make some changes. saying, quote, it recognizes consumers are intensely interested in the use of personal electronics aboard aircraft. in other words, there's no turning back the digital deluge. now, one thing that is not expected to change. you still won't be able to use your cell phone to send e-mails or to make phone calls. and that's good news for those of us who don't want to sit next to someone for hours listening to their conversation. robin? >> you've got that right. thank you so much. >> i like the peace and quiet. we have an alert for all of us who look to online reviews before we buy a product or head to a restaurant. it turns out many of the reviews are fake. and at least one state is cracking down hard on the fraud. rebecca jarvis is here. that website, yelp, is under fire. >> reporter: yelp, citi search, google. even yahoo! all these websites are working with regulators this morning to root out the con artists online. and if you wondered whether that gushing review for a restaurant or a hairdresser is real? some confirmation, your instincts are right on-point. they're the opinions millions of americans trust for everything from planning a vacation to choosing a dentist. but this morning, for the first time, the government says many online reviews are nothing but complete fabrication. >> in some cases, they went as far away as eastern europe and bangladesh to hire phony reviewers. this is a massive fraud that we're determined to shut down. >> reporter: the new york attorney general is fining 19 companies $350,000 in total, fines ranging from $2,500 to just under $100,000 for paying people to write phony positive internet reviews of companies and products they've never even heard of. kathy says companies like this pay her 4 bucks a pop to file reviews from her parents' home in wisconsin. >> they were on time. they started working right away. and in a few hours later, i had a beautiful, transformed bathroom and tile. it's so beautiful and clean. i love it. >> reporter: have you ever renovated a bathroom? >> no. i'm 17. >> reporter: today, as many as 30% of all online reviews for some products are fakes. with people getting paid anywhere from $3 to $50 to write them. >> in the old days, we would look at advertising, talk to our friends, get recommendations. today, this is how consumers make their choices. >> reporter: even websites like yelp, that have rules to keep the cons out, say it's a difficult battle. >> we've seen studies that a one-star increase on yelp can increase a restaurant's revenues by almost 10%. >> reporter: new york's attorney general tells abc news this morning, a number of other states are also conducting their own investigations into fraudulent reviews online. so, even though this is a new problem, the same old rules apply. buyer beware. caveat emptor. >> anyone can write any kind of review. but it's a company and that's where the problem comes. >> reporter: the company paying people to write the fake reviews. that's where the a.g.s are going after. and you might see in many other states similar things going down. >> something online, not true? >> how can it be? >> how can it be? >> thanks a lot for bringing that to us. now, to the mystery surrounding that massive powerball jackpot. the winner coming forward in south carolina to claim his $400 million prize. but his identity, still a secret. he's choosing to remain anonymous. good for him. keeping his good fortune under wraps. and abc's steve osunsami has the story. >> reporter: this morning, lottery officials say their anonymous winner, who bought his ticket at this gas station outside of columbia, south carolina, had only played the lottery once before. and told them he only stopped in the store because his wife called and said to pick up some hot dog buns. this morning, at that gas station, everyone wants to know who is mr. luck. >> i'd like to know if i know who the person is. >> yeah. i'm curious. i want to know. >> let's play powerball! >> reporter: lottery officials wouldn't tell us how the winner picked his numbers or if he chose the payout or yearly payments. they say he never managed to buy the buns. but did buy $20 worth of powerball tickets. >> the payout is $223.4 million. >> reporter: south carolina is just 1 of 6 states that allow lottery winners to count their money anonymously. since 2003, ten powerball winners have claimed prizes. in april of 2012, the self-described three amigos quietly collected a $219 million megamillions jackpot in maryland. the secret winners get to avoid sometimes wiltdly entertaining press conferences like this one in illinois. >> this the a full-time job, it looks like. >> i don't think we're going to feel sorry for you, sir. >> no, no, i'm not looking for sympathy. >> reporter: after state and federal taxes, last week's winner will end up with $209 million if he took the single payment. that's a lot of hot dog buns. for "good morning america," steve osunsami, abc news, atlanta. >> going to quietly enjoy that fortune. >> and they said south carolina, you don't have to come forward. would you? >> no. >> no way. >> i would tell you guys, of course. >> no way, no way. >> maybe you've already won. and we don't know. >> you wouldn't show up. >> you would know, i would be skipping and happy. >> george, would you tell? >> i don't think any one of us could avoid it if we won. >> that's probably true. let's get to the boards. we're going to start with colder temperatures and the news that it snowed in the northeast. it was the highest elevation. it was mt. washington. but here we go with the colder temperatures. ten states with frost or freeze advisories out. coldest temperatures of the season early this morning in places like boston, new york, washington, d.c. so, it's a little cool pocket of air. you see all of the pink areas with the frost and freeze advisories. big-time rain for the southeast. we're talking about what could be four inches of rain. and take the line from new orleans, to tallahassee to jacksonville. that's bad enough for the day. this has been an entire summer season of rain like this. this is going to last at least through the next 24 hours. that goes into tampa and north of miami in that area, as well. >> that big board look is brought to you by oxytrol. and by the way, weather you want to play in, from the great lakes to the mid-atlantic. coming up, why leah remini is saying the church of scientology wants her to fail. and the church's surprising response overnight. over 50 witnesses, 84 days in court. and michael jackson's trial at a crucial point in court. and michael douglas, with a personal plea. why he hasn't been able to see his son for more than a year.

>> they are the plaintiffs. it is very emotional. they're being called for legal reasons. as a legal matter, each of their testimony isn't that significant. the important legal questions here, is who hired dr. conrad murray? who controlled dr. conrad murray? was what happened here foreseeable? those are questions that the family can't answer, in terms of what they directly know, rather than the people involved in from aeg, et cetera. >> what are their chances in the lawsuit? >> the biggest problem for aeg is that the case got to a jury. a judge threw out almost all of the claims against aeg, except for one. and that was the negligent hiring of dr. murray. that's the claim this jury is deciding here. the danger aeg has is that the jury is allowed to apportion blame. they could say, yes, we think aeg was negligent. but only for 20%. let's say. but when you're talking about the kinds of dollars we're talking about here, you're still talking about the potential for huge money. so, even a small loss, legally in connection with this case, could be a big loss in terms of dollars for aeg. >> five months. this has gone on for five months. is that playing to either side's advantage? >> i think it helps a little bit the plaintiffs, the jackson family. the jury may say after all this time, we're not going to give them anything. i think it's been way too long. a simple legal question. >> they're nearing the end now. dan, thanks so much. back over to sam. sam?

[ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i've got three important reasons to up my game with eliquis.

"dr. sleep." thank you for coming in this morning. >> noo is to see you. >> why did you bring him back? >> i never forgot him. basically. i've written about a lot of characters over the years. and their stories get told. and then, kind of filed away. i never had any urge to go back and find out what happened to, paul sheldon from "misery." but danny torrence was such a little boy. and he survives such a horrible experience at the overlook hotel, that time would go by. and i wonder what's going on with him. he'd be 20 now. and then, he's 25 now. and 30. and i wondered about what happened to him. and i used to get asked sometimes at signings and stuff. whatever happened to the kid from "the shining"? >> he had some struggles. but was living a quiet life, just helping people. but gets drawn back into that struggle. >> one of the things that interested me and one of the -- the big reason to go back, was he had come from the situation where he had survived an abusive father, who was also a drunk. and we know from experience that a lot of times, people in those situations, have a tendency to repeat what they grew up with. and a kid like that will say, i'm never going to be a drunk like dad. or i'm never going to be abusive to my own kids the way that my father was to me. and they find themselves repeating those scripts. i wanted to talk about that a little bit. >> how do you deal with the fact that so many people have that movie in their heads? jack nicholson. everything exactly what happened in the book. >> yeah. i think of the novel "the shining," as being the true history of the torrence family in the overlook hotel. i've been asked a lot about the kubrick movie. and it is what it is. and it has a lot of people who really, really love the movie. but i said in the afterward, for instance, in kubrick's movie, the overlook hotel freezes. and in stephen king's book, the overlook hotel burns. that was the difference in temperament. he was cold and i was warm. >> you are warm. there's a lot of warmth in the book, as well. the whole theme of family shines. >> you know, you can't scare people unless they care about the characters. if the characters were just cardboard cutouts, it's not working. if they do, you can scare them. >> i'm sure it's going to be a huge hit. stephen king, thanks for coming in this morning. >> thanks a lot. they're one of the hottest bands on the planet. the kings of leon, here live, with their brand-new single.

i know one person. >> yeah, right here at 7 on your side. if there's something we can do about it, we'll take it on. you can get to us online. go to abc7news.com. you want to go to your local police or possibly the district attorney's office. if it's a national type of issue, then the federal trade commission, and if you got it through the mail, you want to go to the postal service. postal service takes that stuff very seriously. it's definitely worth getting in touch with them. >> an e-mail, does tv commercial fine print need to be a specific font size? >> that's a great question. if you have a little tiny tv, it wouldn't work. okay, that's legal. that one is not. no, there's very little rules about the size of font. there are some rules and regulations around the print with credit card advertisements and credit card issues. basically, what the law says is that it must be obvious and presentable. so you have to decide what that means. when a guy talks really fast, is that presentable? do you understand what's going on? probably just knowing you should check would pass for legal test. >> really? >> yeah. >> like the old fed fedex commercial? >> exactly. >> i can barely read the font on the card itself. ted e-mails, a store advertised discounts, none of which came up on the receipt. is that right? >> no, it is not. look, that could even be bait and switch. the bottom line is if a store has a sale, they have to give you the price. now, let me give you a couple examples for this. and how it works. if they have an ad and it says 20 at this price and they only have 20. if they don't say a particular number, they have to have what an average person would consider reasonably, what a reasonable person would consider reasonably. let's say you are selling a computer that was a $20,000 computer, maybe having one per store would be more than enough. however, if you're selling toothpaste for a dime a tube, then perhaps you should have 500 available. because you're going to have so many people. >> great questions today, michael. thank you so much. well, coming up next, a dramatic beach rescue off the california coast. two men struggle for their lives to save a teenager. >> then coming up new at 5:00, the banana pants bandit on the loose. the surveillance video that has everyone looking for a thief. >> plus, kaepernick's new body art and why it has twitter buzzing. heat shields are compromised. we what's that alarm?ures. fuel cell two is down. i'm going to have to guide her in manually. this is very exciting. but i'm at my stop. come again?
