Big little lies. The handmaids tale. The female driven dramas taking home top honors. More great roles for women, please. And a recordsetting night for julia louisdreyfus. While diversity the things that make us different, those are superpowers. And politics take center stage. This will be the largest audience, period. With one big surprise stealing the show. We are backstage with the big winners. Good morning, america. Good morning, america. And we do say good morning, america. It was really quite a night at the emmys last night. Ers. Julia making history with her big win. Six in a row. The big surprise, of course, sean spicer, there he was rolling out to shock in the audience. A lot of laughs as well but, boy, it also sparked a very fierce debate online and get into that. It did. First, we closely watch this double threat in the atlantic. Two big storms developing right now, hurricane jose could bring flooding and rain to the east coast. And Hurricane Maria is threatening to strike the hardhit caribbean. Category 4 storm and could take aim at the u. S. The caribbean is already feeling this effects this morning. Our chief meteorologist, ginger zee, is here, with the latest on its path. Good morning, ginger. Robin, can you believe it. Here i am talking about two hurricanes again. Yes, i think jose is the first we want to focus in on because its already happening. The images coming in from north carolina. You can see some of the rough surf thats been impacting some of the carolina coast there. That is going to move up the east coast and tomorrow especially weve got jose here, some 280 plus miles away from the coast. But you could see 12foot waves anywhere from virginia and delaware up through new jersey, even brooklyn, 12foot waves. Can you imagine the impact and the beach erosion possible there . Tropical storm watches for 40 to 60mileperhour wind gusts as this thing stays just enough offsho offshore, and then we have Hurricane Maria. This one will intensify in the next couple of days. 48 hours really well talk about its approach to the u. S. Virgin islands, eventually puerto rico but has to make its way through the Lesser Antilles as it makes those intensifications and eventually the big question does it hit florida . Everybody wants to know this, and most of the modeling taking it away from florida. But well track that just as we track puerto ricos impact where we find our rob marciano this morning, rob. Another big one headed so close, up to 15 to 20 inches of rain. It is hard to believe, isnt it, ginger . Our second one potentially hitting the same areas. And in less than two weeks. In puerto rico theyre shutting down government offices and st. Martin and st. Thomas. They are in survival mode. Food, shelter and theyre passing out blue tarps to give them something and debris flying around so begging residents to pin it down with heavy rock, whatever they can. San juan has been a hub for relief and recovery efforts. Thats going to come to a halt as we wait for maria. We did okay here in irma. A lot of power out. Fared okay. Not a direct hit, but now were looking at the potential for a category 4 direct hit and as we know from very recent experience, ginger, thats not fun for anyone. Rob, we feel so much for those islands, and just to give people perspective. So active this season. Weve seen the u. S. Virgin islands if they see it as a major hurricane theyve never had two major hurricanes hit this close to home in any season. So this is really starting to break records. Boy, it sure is. Ginger, thanks very much. There is high tension in the streets of st. Louis for the third night in a row. Protesters and police clashing after the acquittal of a white officer in the death of a black man and Kenneth Moton is on the scene. Good morning. Reporter good morning, george. This city is bracing for another day of protests. Happening right now, demonstrators have gathered here in downtown st. Louis. The plan, to disrupt the commute. New demonstrations sparked overnight after the department of justice revealed it would not pursue federal charges in that police shooting. Overnight at least 80 protesters arrested as chaos broke out in the streets of st. Louis. Businesses vandalized. Tonight we made more than 80 arrests. We confiscated at least five weapons. None of them were used. Some criminals assaulted Law Enforcement officers and threw chemicals and rocks at them. Reporter police say they confiscated these bottles filled with unknown chemicals that were used as weapons against them. Protesters say theyre filled with vinegar used to treat pepper spray victims. It started with the acquittal of Jason Stockley in the killing of Anthony Lamar smith. The officer testified smith had a gun. He told st. Louis dispatch his life was threatened. I did not murder Anthony Lamar smith. I did not plant a gun. I can tell you with absolute certainty that there was no plan to murder Anthony Smith during a highspeed vehicle pursuit. Reporter that pursuit caught on a dashcam. Stockley and his partner approached then chased the suspect who crashed into a telephone pole. Stockley heard saying, quote, were killing this expletive. The officer soon opened fire hitting smith five times. We have to come up with something better. This cannot consistently happen. Reporter during the day thousands peacefully protested. [ chanting ] star nick cannon joining the demonstrators. This peaceful demonstration continuing to grow. After three nights of destruction, we know that 120 suspects were arrested. Also more than a dozen officers injured. This weekend big concerts were canceled. Singer ed sheeran also the rock band u2 called off their performances because of security concern, robin. Very tense times, thank you. We turn to new developments in that london terror attack. This newly released Surveillance Footage may show the suspect shortly before that train bombing that injured 30 people on friday. A second man has already been arrested in connection with the attack. Our chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with more. Good morning, brian. Good morning, robin. The investigation is taking some surprising turns of great concern this morning. As police in london are investigating whether the bomb that went off in the subway was meant to be something not seen before and perhaps much more dangerous, and explosives designed to release deadly chemical gases. Reporter this morning, the focus is on one of these row houses in the london suburb of sunburyonthames. The unlikely location of the bomb pactry, Police Believe, it is owned by this elderly couple. Penelope and ronald jones honored by the queen for serving for foster parents from young men including some from iraq and syria. An 18yearold who lived there is under arrest and Surveillance Footage made public overnight appears to show a young man leaving the home 90 minutes before the attack carrying a white bag which Police Believe may have contained the bomb that went off in the subway friday morning. Neighbors were stunned that a foster child might take advantage of the goodness of the elderly couple. He was a lovely young man. You wouldnt suspect anything from him. He was polite, courteous to the old couple. You didnt know anything about it. Reporter on supplement a second young man, 21 years old was arrested nearby. Seen in a video posted by a british tabloid. That second arrest led to another series of police raids at a home disturbingly clothe to heathrow airport. The police have made Good Progress with what is an ongoing operation. Reporter Officials Say the forensics of the bucket bomb placed on the subway raise new questions about the attack. The absence of any metal that could turn into shrapnel suggests to bomb experts that the goal instead may have been to release a deadly chemical. The threat level has dropped from critical to severe. Given the series of four attacks in the past six months the british Prime Minister told george she wants a hard look at what is being done to prevent them. You said in the wake of the other attacks, enough is enough. Things need to change. Its time for some even embarrassing conversations. What did you mean by that . Well, it is necessary for us to look as we are doing at whether our police and Security Services have the full capabilities, the powers that they need. Reporter one big break in the case is the fact that the suspected bomber was captured alive. Apparently as he tried to flee the country, this Morning Police will be pushing to learn more about the plot and the bomb, whether it was intended to be a kind of gas attack. So far, no chemical residue has been detected, robin. Isis claiming responsibility. What are Officials Saying about that claim . Thats true and want to know if isis directed these two young men refugees who came to Great Britain as foster children. Thank you, brian. The Prime Minister also said we have to find new ways on how the knit spreads these ideas, the Prime Minister said. She is one of many leaders coming for the General Assembly including President Trump as he prepares for a packed week of diplomacy. Meeting with a host of foreign leaders, and delivering his first address to the u. N. Tomorrow. North korea high on the agenda. The u. S. And south korea conducted joint military drills over the region and back in washington a new twist in the health care battle. A lastditch effort to replace obamacare before the september 30th deadline and jon karl tracking it all. President trump quite literally takes the world stage this week appearing before the United Nations, an organization he once declared is not a friend of america. President trump is back in new york. Familiar territory to be sure but for him an entirely unfamiliar forum, his debut before the United Nations. A chance to address World Leaders highly skeptical of his America First agenda. The speech is a tremendous opportunity, obviously, to reach so many World Leaders at the same time. Reporter as a candidate, trump harshly criticized the u. N. As antiamerican. The United Nations is not a friend of democracy. Its not a friend to freedom. Its not a friend even to the United States of america. Reporter no issue looms larger this week than north korea. The Trump Administration seeks to rally support for pressuring kim jongun to give up his nuclear weapons. If the United States has to defend itself or defend its allies in any way, north korea will be destroyed, and we all know that and none of us want that. None of us want war. Reporter overnight the u. S. And south korea conducted joint military drills in the face of north koreas defiance. Over the weekend the president took to twitter to hang a new nickname on north koreas kim jongun. I spoke with president moon of south korea last night. Asked him how rocket man is doing. Long gas lines forming in north korea. Too bad. The president s days will be packed with meeting after meeting with World Leaders. Its been called the diplomatic equivalent of speed dating from hell. While hes toned down his criticism of the u. N. , hell still issue a challenge. The United Nations has to reform to meet the goals and objectives laid out by the great secretary general there and to be true to its charter. Reporter one of the biggest questions facing the president this week is what hell do with the Iran Nuclear Deal negotiated by president obama. The white house is strongly suggesting he may pull out of the agreement, and, george, of course, that is an agreement still strongly supported by our closest allies in europe. They are pushing back very hard on that. More unity on the issue of north korea and the president s representative yesterday i was speaking with general mcmaster escalating the rhetoric, even saying any north Korean Nuclear weapons are unacceptable. Yes, and there is a feeling that kim jongun and his father him went with confidence that the United States did not have a military option. That there was nothing the United States could or would do militarily and there is a growing sense that the president , that the Administration Must do something to erase that doubt. On the domestic front repeal and replace obama care looked like it was dead but new effort to bring it back and have to get it done before the september 30th deadline and have to pick up a few more votes. This is fascinating. The republicans are suddenly trying to get this going again, and i think whats happening here is they have seen that President Trump has been willing to work with democrats, and if the republicans cant get it done on their own, they are worried hell go and do something with democrats that they really wont like but theres a chance but its a tight margin. Jon karl, thanks very much. September 30th will be here before we know it. Now to the history making night at the emmys honoring the best in television. The awards show highlighting women and diversity, politics also taking center stage, lara was there for it all and joins us bright and early this morning from los angeles. Good morning, lara.

Both in person and around the world. Reporter colbert joking about the president never winning an emmy for the celebrity apprentice. Because unlike the presidency, emmys go to the winner of the popular vote. I suppose i should say at long last, mr. President , here is your emmy. [ laughter ] reporter and snl bringing home three other awards including best variety show and best supporting actress for Kate Mckinnon for her impersonations of Hillary Clinton and attorney general jeff sessions, but it was a recordbreaking night for veeps julia louisdreyfus. Setting the record for most emmys won by a performer for the same role in a series. We did have a whole story line about an impeachment but we abandoned that because we were worried that someone else might get to it first. [ laughter ] do you allow yourself to think about that stuff or are you just so psyched about the role . The bottom line is that this job i have is so spectacular. Yeah. And this role is so through the roof that thats the true treasure. Having said that, im delighted. Reporter the biggest winners of the night. The handmaids tale. Reporter the handmaids tale taking home five emmys including best drama and hbos female driven murder mystery Big Little Lies taking home five of their own. This is yours. I want my little girls to have this on their shelf and to look at it and go every time my momma didnt put me to bed its because of this. I got something. She got something, all right. A lot of people saying it was almost like a mini oscars. There were so many movie stars there, and yes, there were some snubs. A lot of people shocked that the bingewatching phenomenon and red carpet darlings from Stranger Things left empty handed and west world favored to be to a winner, but seemed to be left out in the cold. And a lot of people, myself included, guys, absolutely loved ryan murphys feud, and was shocked it didnt take home any trophies, none for Jessica Lange or susan sarandon. A pretty funny reaction when she did not hear her name called, well tell you about that in segment seven. You guys, well get into it. That was a priceless moment, thank you very much. Mixed reaction to sean spicers appearance. I had a mixed reaction. Listen, anybody can make fun of themselves, its a good thing but this is a pretty serious problem. Jon karl said from the white house, every single day where sean and other representatives of the Administration Simply didnt tell the truth. He showed he was willing to humiliate himself on a very big stage, but hes joking about the fact that he blatantly misled the American People on his first day on the job. Not that funny. Okay, jon karl, thanks very
