Someone has betrayed their government and their country. You might need our help. If we do not go public, we would be conceding that no one can ever tell the people when their government is lying. Your marriage could be interrogated. My husband had absolutely nothing to do with this. Hes a muslim. Im sorry . Also starring Ralph Fiennes and matthew goode, official secrets is scoring a solid 80 on rotten tomatoes. Leah greenblatt writes, it tends to lean a little heavily on the kind of righteous perfectly calibrated indignation that happens much more often in aaron sorkin dramas than in real life. Although official secrets may take liberties with the historical record, its effective as both a drama and a cautionary tale. Okay, 80 there. Next to a supernatural thriller from the producers of get out. David oyelowo stars in dont let go as a grieving uncle who gets a phone call from his niece whod just been murdered. But shes actually calling him not from beyond, but from the past. I i dont understand. Theres a crime that in your time hasnt even happened. Your dads going to die. Your moms going to die. And so are you. But as long as youre alive, you can change things. Oh, dont let go, though, its scoring only a 50 splat on rotten tomatoes. It is a narrative that is occasionally muddy and ambiguous, this time travel thriller kind of works, just dont think too hard about it. And a suspenseful hybrid of murder mystery and time travel. It seems kind of interesting. Dont think too hard about it, thats my motto when going to the movies. I just sit there and veg out and like zone out. A friend of mine, she always knows the killer, the whoever, within the first like 20 minutes. Thats how my mom is with real stories. This morning on world news now, breaking overnight, Hurricane Dorian strengthening into a category 2 storm. It is slow moving and gaining a lot of strength, expected to become a major hurricane before making landfall. The window to gather all storm supplies is closing. Accuweather standing by live. Also this morning, democratic frontrunner, former Vice President joe biden, under scrutiny for a story he tells on the campaign trail. The questions about how much of that story biden got right. School bus scare. A mother recording a moment her child was nearly hit by a car as she got off that school bus. The warning she wants all parents to hear this morning. And into the storm. Hurricane hunters are keeping close tabs on dorian. But one of their missions just made history. Well explain why on this friday, august 30th. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for join. All eyes on Hurricane Dorian so that is where we begin. The National Hurricane center says it is expected to strengthen into a potentially catastrophic category 4 storm by the time it makes landfall next week. One major issue is pinning down dorians ext track t rests many factors still at play. They also say that 17. 6 million americans are on alert and at risk of taking a huge hit from dorian. Nasa is also tracking dorian. Heres the view from the International Space station. Well get to the storm prep in florida in a moment but lets start with the forecast. Accuweather meteorologist chris nallan joins us live. Chris, thank you for joining us. We often hear those warming waters that have impact on these tropical systems, so whats strengthening dorian right now . Well, exactly what you were just talking about, kenneth and janai. Good morning to you guys. We are talking about a storm that has strengthened obviously the last few hours, and it will continue to strengthen. As you can see, the storm itself doesnt look so organized but winds are up to 105 miles an hour, pressure at 977 millibars, which is dropping. Naturally that means the strength is happening. Stronger and more fierce. And with this as you were just mentioning, kenneth, of course with those warmer waters and no land interaction at this point in time, this is going to allow that storm to kind of expand and strengthen and become more organized. And as we roll through the weekend, look at this. Potentially here a cat 4 hurricane, a major hurricane that could impact here the east coast of florida early into the week. And chris, we know the two most reliable models are completely different. The america gfs has it going north toward jacksonville, the european model has it heading south. Why is it so difficult to predict dorians path right now and which model has been more accurate in the past . You know, thats a really good question too. Because those are our two most reliable models. When we talk about the future, its really hard because we actually have the winds aloft that are kind of guiding this system. Some models have it going a little bit further to the coast of florida, others steering it further north. Its all about the timing. Some models picking up one direction versus the other because of different winds. And changes in those winds. Its actually too hard to pinpoint exactly which model at this point, to be honest, is more correct or which one has been more correct in the past. But typically we do rely on those and the impact zone like i said is going to be Central Florida, and that is going to be a concern for Central Florida and all the southeast to keep a heads up over the next couple of days here. We are watching dorian and thinking about the southeast. Chris, we know you and accuweather are working hard as you track dorian, so thank you for joining us. Well check back in with you next half hour. Now to florida getting ready. Forecasters say coastal areas could get 5 to 15 inches of rain. That explains why so many people have been picking up sandbags to prepare for that. And check out all those cars stopped in the right lane of this miami highway. Theyre all lined up waiting to pick up lastminute supplies from costco. Abcs Megan Tevrizian is in Daytona Beach with the latest. Reporter Hurricane Dorian gaining strength over the open waters of the atlantic. Forecasters now saying when it makes landfall it could be a catastrophic category 4 and one of the worst storms to hit the east coast of florida in decades. This is potentially a catastrophic storm in terms of both wind and surge. Reporter floridas governor declaring a state of emergency, telling people the time to prepare is now. You should have seven days of food and medicine and water. Reporter people loading up on supplies. Hey, hey, hey, everybody relax. Reporter some gas stations so busy theyre running out of fuel.

And the Rolling Stones rescheduling a concert on saturday in florida to friday so fans can attend before the storm hits. Kenneth, janai . Our thanks to megan. Stay with abc news and the abc on the go app. We will keep monitoring dorian as it approaches the u. S. We will have more reports later today on america this morning and good morning america. President ial candidate joe biden is facing new questions about a war story he often tells on the campaign trail. The problem is that nearly every detail in the story appears to be false. Biden maintains that the essence of the story is true. Abcs terry moran has more. Reporter for years joe biden has been recounting a story of american heroism and heartbreak on the front lines, recently telling a crowd in New Hampshire how he traveled to afghanistan to pin a silver star on a young navy captain. One of his buddies got shot, fell down a ravine about 60 feet. This guy climbed down the ravine, carried this guy up on his back under fire, and the general wanted me to pin the silver star on him. Reporter and then a moving moment as biden approached with the medal. This is gods truth, my word as a biden. He stood at attention. I went to pin him, he said, sir, i do not want the damn thing. Do not put it on me sir, please, sir, do not do that. He died. He died. Reporter but the Washington Post dug into the story and determined biden got the time period, the location, the heroic act, the type of medal, the military branch, and the rank of the recipient wrong, as well as his own role in the ceremony. Biden seems to have conflated several events. Kyle white, the serviceman he describes, an army specialist, not a navy captain, was actually presented with the medal of honor by president obama in washington, d. C. But the Vice President did pin a medal on a different man in a different part of afghanistan for a different act of valor. Army Staff Sergeant jeremiah workman, who tried to rescue a fellow soldier from a burning vehicle. Workman telling the post he did say to biden then, i dont want it, he died. Workman adds, biden looked him in the eye and said softly i know you dont. Joe biden is responding telling reporters in South Carolina where hes campaigning that, quote, the Central Point
