I want to show you the Spaghetti Models and give you an idea of what the computer models are saying. Theyre not in good agreement. Once we get out into the later periods here. A lot of uncertainty as it goes towards the u. S. Coastline but likely to be at least a hurricane as it gets closer. First things first though, lets go to puerto rico live where Victor Oquendo is with us. You were with me during Hurricane Maria two years ago. What is going on today . Reporter good morning, rob. We are on the southern part of the island. We wanted to see how people outside san juan were preparing for the storm.

This morning the people of puerto rico on edge. Still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Maria which struck the island nearly two years ago.

Part of that blue tarp is peeking in. Fema says they are far more prepared than 2017 stocking warehouses around the island like this one with vital supplies at the ready.

Royal caribbean rerouting a number of its cruise ships. Those ships now taking a more western caribbean route to avoid any impact from the storm. Cecilia . Okay, alex, thank you. Overnight President Trump approved that Emergency Declaration just as we are about to hit the peak of Hurricane Season, we are now learning the president wants to take more than 155 million from fema and use that money in his fight against illegal immigration. Our Senior National correspondent terry moran has more from the white house. Terry, the outcry was swift on this one. Democrats say this is going to drain funding for disaster relief. Reporter thats right. They say its a bad tradeoff. It came as a surprise. Its 155 million from fema and 271 million from the department of Homeland Security altogether going down to the border. Thats a lot of money and the Administration Says its necessary, its needed to deal with the huge influx of people coming to the southern border. Its going to be used to provide detention beds and hearing facilities and transportation costs in a situation where those facilities are already overcrowded and resources are strained right through. But democrats say this tradeoff could have deadly consequences. Yeah, theres going to be definitely a fight over this one. Terry, one more immigration headline before we go this morning. This is from the washington po reporting that President Trump is in a real race to finish his border wall before the 2020 election. Theres even talk that he could possibly seize some private land to make this happen . Reporter well, thats always been in the cards, cecilia. The government has the power of imminent domain. But theres no question President Trump is bringing it bright to the edge. This is, of course, his Central Campaign promise. It is still a rallying cry, as you know, at all his rallies and wants it done and wants 500 miles of border wall by election day. Right now theres only about 60 done, and hes pushing hard. He has even said he will pardon federal officials who break the law in order to get it done. His aides say hes joking but hes not joking about getting it done. They also confirm one other thing, he wants the wall painted black and wants it to be spiky on top. Black so that its hot to the touch in the sun along the border. Cecilia . Hes very concerned about that aesthetic. Thank you very much. Now to a possible blockbuster deal in the works. A source telling abc news Purdue Pharma is offering a massive package to end the lawsuits against the company over its role in the opioid epidemic.

A source tells abc news purdue offered a package that could be worth up to 10 billion to 12 billion. In a statement the company explains that while Purdue Pharma is prepared to defend itself vigorously in the opioid litigation, it sees little good coming from years of wasteful litigation and appeals. The New York Times is reporting that as part of the proposed settlement, that members of the Sackler Family who own the drugmaker would give up their stake in the company and pay 3 billion of their own money. Do you believe purdues marketing was overly aggressive . No. Reporter this is all coming out after the release of this 2015 video testimony from former chairman and president dr. Richard sackler. Do you know whether oxycontin is more powerful or less powerful a drug than morphine . Depends what you mean by powerful. If powerful means potency, absolutely. It is twice as potent as morphine. Reporter the members of the Sackler Family who own the company made billions developing and selling oxycontin. Purdue pharma says it is working actively with top state officials and plaintiffs across multiple states to get a deal done. Tom . Again, more than 2,000 cases. All right, steve, thanks very much. Now to the fight to save the amazon. This morning, concern is growing over how the fires and smoke can affect peoples lungs, including children as more residents report respiratory problems. This as the battle rages on over funding to fight the flames. Matt gutman is on the front lines with the very latest. Matt, good morning. Reporter tom, good morning. It rained here a little overnight yet you can still smell the smoke in the air. That has increased a sense of urgency with brazils president seeming to argue with european leaders because hes unhappy about how donations have been offered here. This morning as fires continue to rip through the amazon, World Leaders are butting heads. After rejecting a pledge of 22 million in aid by frances president , emmanuel macron, and g7 nations, the brazilian president insisting his government will find a solution to give the world satisfaction. Brazilian officials said perhaps the money would be better served reforesting europe. This as President Trump tweeted his support for bolsonaro known as the trump of bolsonaro chiming in, accusing the, quote, Fake News Media of distorting brazils fire control efforts including its deployment of troops to the fire lines. New drone video showing miles of torched forest, a once lush landscape now eerie and smothered in ash. Satellite images capturing thousands of acres of scorched earth. And on the ground, we saw those fires terrifying speed outside of this ranch on the border of brazil and bolivia. You can see its chewing up not only the dry brush but those palm trees are acting like kindling. The smoke and flame swallowing that. We doubled back to check on the rancher and through the haze there he was. But this morning, concern in parts of brazil over smoke inhalation. In some places reported respiratory issues among children more than doubling. Its really only the massive deluges of the rainy season that will be able to put down fires like this but that is still a couple of months away. Now, scientists here are concerned that these fires will put parts of brazil past the Tipping Point making dry season last longer and permanently turning forest into savannah. Cecilia . Indeed a global threat. Okay, matt gutman, thank you. We turn to new testimony in the case of Jeffrey Epstein. More than a dozen accusers getting their day in court demanding justice despite epsteins death. Diane macedo is here with more on this. Good morning, diane. Cecelia, good morning. It was an emotional and unusual day in court. The purpose was to drop the criminal case against Jeffrey Epstein. Usually a routine matter after a death. But the judge in this case decided to have this hearing so that despite his death epsteins accusers could be heard. Reporter a dramatic day in court, more than a dozen women, accusers of multimillionairemu sex offender Jeffrey Epstein speaking out. Their message clear, epsteins dead but they still want justice. Do i feel his death was an appropriate punishment . Absolutely not. It gives nobody justice and it leaves a lot of unanswered questions. Reporter among epsteins accusers, chauntae davies. All i could say was, please, no, stop, but that seemed to excite him more. Reporter she said she kept years of sexual abuse by epstein bottled up. It definitely is so empowering to have had that day today, but it still doesnt change the fact that hes not here to, you know, face the music. Reporter davies tells abc news she first met epstein after being recruited by his longtime friend Ghislaine Maxwell for a job as a masseuse. Maxwell has not been charged and has denied all wrongdoing. Its not how jeffrey died, but how he lived and we need to get to the bottom of everybody who was involved with that starting with Ghislaine Maxwell. Reporter Virginia Giuffre said maxwell recruited her as a teenager to be a sex slave to epstein and claimed epstein ordered her to have sex with some of his powerful friends, including prince andrew, something the prince has denied. He admitted his friendship with epstein but said, at no stage during the limited time i spent with him did i see, witness or suspect any behavior of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction. Outside of court, giuffre fired back. He knows exactly what he has done, and i hope he comes clean about it. Reporter prosecutors yesterday said a grand jury is already investigating epsteins death and assured the judge the government will pursue others who may have aided mr. Epstein. As for his accusers, many have already filed civil suits against his estate. Many more say they plan to. So this case overall is far from over. So much more to come. Diane, thanks. We want to take a turn overseas to some new video showing a terrifying rhino attack, and this video is incredible. Take a look at this. The zookeeper is inside that safari vehicle. She is lucky to be alive after the animal charged the car ramming it with its horn, flipping it over three times happening at a safari park in germany on sunday. Amazingly the woman that was inside that car made it out with just a few bruises. The zoo, we just got a statement, says the animal has never shown signs of aggression towards the vehicle before and it will be sent to a different zoo where he can sort of live with the herd. I have an important question. Michael,f i you had to choose between the rhino or gronk to lineup against, who are you choosing . Gronk, youre going down. That rhino that was serious. Lucky to be alive. Yeah, that was scary but thank you, tom, for that.

Reporter a casual kick, a viral video now a historic and pioneering possibility, the first woman ever in the nfl. No pressure. Theres obviously a lot of pressure on a kicker. I think that i tick that box. Ive played in world championships. Ive had all sorts of pressure around me and i actually thrive under pressure. So mentally i think id be able to do it. You have detracrs saying this is a publicity stunt. She couldnt be out there but she wants to wait until 2020 because she wants to work at it, practice, get the technique down and get it right. What shes saying if you listen closely, it sounds like shes for real. There are no rules barring her in the nfl . She could play . If you can perform youre good. If you can kick, youre in.
