KGO Good Morning America March 25, 2016

Head with hair take a look at this baby bombshell wowing the world with this head of hair. But theres another surprise in store when the family joins us live this morning. We do say Good Morning America, on this friday morning. Great to have amy back from brussels and we have breaking news. Police operations are under way right now and, amy, you really saw a city on edge. Yes, everywhere you looked there were heavily Armed Police Presence and military. The most unnerving part was getting out because the airport there closed through saturday, at least, so everyone packing into those train stations trying to get to paris or amsterdam and the level of security there was unprecedented. Every article of clothing looked through. We were patted down just to get into that train station to leave, understandably a city on edge and they are taking every precaution. As they should. Of course, there are concerns in paris, as well, where arrests have been made too and just learning two americans have been killed in those attacks in brussels. Secretary of state john kerry is there this morning where seven people were detained overnight as the massive manhunt continues for two terror suspects still on the run. Abcs Alex Marquardt is in brussels with the latest. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, george. Thats right. There have been new police raids this morning to try to prevent new attacks and to capture those two suspects who are still on the run. This country is still reeling from those attacks, the identities of the dead have not yet been confirmed and among those unaccounted for are several americans. Overnight, belgian antiterrorism police carrying out raids in the neighborhood where tuesdays attackers stashed their bombs. Across brussels, seven detained. Their links to tuesday so far unclear. This as the manhunt continues for two of the five attackers still on the loose. This man in the black hat seen on an airport surveillance camera with the two suicide bombers and another man spotted in the metro with the other suicide bomber. This morning, disturbing new images of the bombmaking safe house. Detectives finding few items left behind but did find over 30 pounds of explosives, a suitcase of nails and screws and an isis flag. And overnight, just outside paris, a police raid on an apartment. The bomb squad on the scene. French media now reporting that weapons and explosives were found inside. They were led there after arresting this man, france saying he was tied to the paris attacks mastermind in the advance stages of plotting a highlevel attack. These were belgiums worst ever terror attacks. This new video taken seconds after the two blasts at the airport. Fires and screams. Belgian Prime Minister saying the liberty of daily life was slaughtered but amid signs of intelligence failures, he rejected the resignation of both his justice and interior ministers. Belgian officials have claimed that the bakraoui brothers both suicide bombers on tuesday were not known for their links to terrorism. But one of them, ibrahim, one of the airport bombers was deported by turkey for being a foreign terrorist fighter. A warning sent to belgium which they now admit they ignored. And khalid was wanted for his ties to the paris attacks. Now the new chilling revelations that it was these brothers who secretly recorded a top Belgian Nuclear scientist coming and going from his home using a hidden camera to film him, ten hours of video discovered. Their goal unclear. But western officials have long feared that isis might try to build a dirty bomb. Belgium has now dropped its terror alert level to its second highest level but that means they still believe that an attack is serious and likely. Secretary of state john kerry will today be Holding Meetings to discuss Security Issues but will also be showing american support for belgians. Thank you. We want to turn to abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz with more on those socalled dirty bombs. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, robin. The fears of a dirty bomb which would combine explosive material like dynamite with Radioactive Material are very real and intensified after 9 11. In fact, many new York City Police officers have Radiation Detection devices on them in the case of the brothers in brussels, experts say they may have been planning to kidnap the scientist to help build the device or threaten his family to try to force him to get Radioactive Material, robin. Very, very disturbing. We want to note dirty many bos are not the same as nuclear bombs. No, theyre not. A nuclear bomb is millions of times more powerful and causes a Nuclear Explosion not a conventional explosion, so the immediate death toll would be contained to the blast area of the bomb but the Radioactive Material could contaminate an area even miles from the explosion, making it uninhabitable and, of course, the psychological effects of detonating a dirty bomb, robin, would be enormous. Yes, thats true. Martha, thank you so much. George. Thanks, robin. Earlier this morning i spoke with mason wells one of the victims of the brussels attack. Hes in bandages this morning and he amazingly survived three terror attacks. How are you feeling today . Well, im feeling better than yesterday if thats worth anything. Im feeling better. Thats progress right there. I know your injuries have been significant. When do you expect to be released. After talking to the doctors, theres no way right now to really put a date on how long my recovery will take. Expected to take a bit of time but i feel confident in those who are taking care of me doing a really good job. Good you have confidence in them. We hope its speedy. Take us back to that moment in the airport. What do you remember . I was actually conscious for like all of it and through the hours after with the bombs, and the blasts were really loud. Really loud. I remember being picked off the ground and really hot and cold sensations on my body. I saw fire on my face and in front of me. Perhaps how close i was, i was very lucky to escape with the injuries that i have right now. Amazing and your parents tell us that despite those burns, you were calm through all this, even maintained your sense of humor. How did you do that . I think that theres only one person that could have helped me stay as calm as i did and that would be god and the peace in me, the calm that i was able to feel, it was something that was beyond just a physical shock to my body. Your faith sounds so strong and now youve been on the scene as we said. You were on the scene of the Boston Marathon bombings and in paris during the paris attacks and now this. How do you wrap your head around that coincidence . Something my parents always told me that everything happens for a reason and i dont know why i was in those places. Ive been in places when things happen. I would have the feeling is that i believe that gods plan is a lot bigger than maybe we imagine. My faith is something thats my whole life. Its something that i build upon and through experience and know why i was where ive been, i dont know. I do know that through it all i have been taken care of and by incredible people that have supported me and im so thankful for all those people from a young age even that have been such good mentors. Well, mason, were supporting you as well and glad youre on the mend and thank you for joining us this morning. No problem. That is one strong young man. You said it best. His faith remains very strong. To the race for the white house and war of words over wives. Ted cruz attacking donald trump for retweeting this image, a picture comparing his wife with trumps and abcs jon karl has the latest and joins us from washington. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, robin. Ted cruz is now saying to donald trump, leave my wife the hell alone. Its not easy to tick me off. I dont get angry often. But you mess with my wife, you mess with my kid, thatll do it every time. Donald, youre a sniveling coward and leave heidi the hell alone. Reporter ted cruz reacting to something donald trump had retweeted. An unflattering photograph of heidi cruz next to a glamour shot of melania trump. The images are worth a thousand words. Megyn kelly who has had other own runins with trump over allegations of sexism reacted on twitter with a single word. Seriously . This whole bizarre episode began when an antitrump super pac launched this attack on melania trump, featuring a photo from her days as a model. Trump responded by blaming cruz, tweeting, be careful, lying ted or ill spill the beans on your wife. Of course, trump has been under fire for the way he speaks about women from the start of the campaign. Bimbo. Dog. Reporter this ad features women reading actual quotes from donald trump. Ted cruz hasnt said much about trumps controversial words on women until now. Donald does seem to have an issue with women. Donald doesnt like strong women. Strong women scare donald. Real men dont try to bully women. Reporter trump says he, quote, cherishes women. I respect women incredibly. I had a woman who was in charge of the building of trump tower many years ago before it was even thought before anybody would have even thought of it and did a fantastic job. Reporter the woman who helped build trump tower, barbara res wrote a book called all alone on the 68th floor. He was respectful of me and the other women. He had several very strong women working for him. I think that the donald i see now is very disrespectful to women. Hes disrespectful to a lot of people. Reporter all the controversy surrounding trumps comments on women seems to be taking a toll. In one National Poll this week, only 26 of women voters said they have a favorable opinion of trump. A whopping 67 say they view him unfavorably and, george, if trump doesnt find a way to bridge that gender gap it would be virtually impossible to win a general election. Okay, jon, lets talk about this more with Kristen Solis anderson in washington this morning. So far hes been teflon with so many of these comments. Is this one going to hurt him . At this point donald trump is already so close to the republican nomination, he already has so many delegates that its really hard to see him getting completely thrown off track. But even half of republican women have an unfavorable view of donald trump and this sort of thing going after your opponents wife, not on an issue position shes taken but on Something Like her looks is really beyond the pail and i think its got a lot of women and men thinking is this the way we want our president to treat women. And the question would be, you know, you mentioned whats happening in the republican primaries. If, indeed, he did get the nomination as jon karl just pointed out could lead to a massive gender gap in a general election. Thats right. Hillary clinton has made clear she believes being the first woman president gives her a big leg up when it comes to winning over female voters. Shes had some weakness among younger women in some of these primaries but if Donald Trumps the republican nominee, its pretty clear shes going to win a large portion of female voters if shes the democratic nominee in november. Kristen soltis anderson, thanks very much. To the severe storms and flooding down south. Pounding rain making a messy commute. In florida, take a look at this, the dugout at Florida Atlantic university in boca raton. Totally swamped. Players wading through the water and ginger has much more on the storm. Good morning, ginger. Good morning to you, robin. Its that same storm that is creating thunderstorms later for the northeast here but all the way down to florida, kicked off the storms, almost a half foot of rain in parts of southeast florida and severe storms, the count, almost 40 from texas to florida this morning. Cars are literally sinking here. Reporter a wet and wild scene in florida. Aggressive rains dumping at least five inches in boca raton. Flooding the streets, slowing down highways, filling this dugout with water. Baseball players taking cover. From texas to florida, damaging winds up to 70 miles per hour. Thunderstorms diverting at least 187 flights from atlantas hartsfieldjackson airport. An ef1 tornado stripping the roof from this home and in kansas a state of emergency. The fire started coming up the driveway and we couldnt leave. Reporter wildfires scorching at least 273,000 acres, firefighters only containing 15 of the flames. And at this hour weve already seen severe thunderstorm warnings in florida this morning. The severe storms still possible for the northern and central parts of that state. As you move up the cold front look at that squall line moves through new york city later afternoon into the early evening hours, well deal with that. Freezing rain happening in new england for parts of vermont through maine. For now back to robin and george. All right, ginger. We go to amy as we said great to have her back from brussels. She has the mornings other top headlines beginning with an entire town being evacuated. Thats right. A town in western minnesota has been evacuated after a Freight Train hit a tanker truck carrying propane setting off this massive explosion. The driver thankfully escaped but two people on the train were injured. Hundreds of people have been told they will not be allowed back boo their homes until at least noon today. Also breaking overnight new video of an american arrested in north korea. Kim tong chol was reportedly detained back in october accused of spying for south korea. Just last week north korea sentenced a student from ohio to 15 years of hard labor. As millions of americans hit the road for the Holiday Weekend gas prices are on the rise. The National Average price at the pump now tops 2 per gallon for the First Time Since last year. And remember the days when you rented movies from a video store . Well, a guy in North Carolina remembered the hard way. James meyers pulled over for a broken taillight the other day when to his surprise he learned there was actually a warrant out for his arrest. He was taken into custody and heres why. Back in 2002 he apparently rented a tom green movie and never returned the vhs tape. Tom green heard about it and now promising to pay the fine but no word on how much that will be. The video store, by the way that he forgot to return the tape to shut down like nearly a decade ago and he doesnt know where the tape is so thats a really painful lesson. Who knows where any tape is . Exactly. And now well remember Garry Shandling. The comedian who created a new kind of tv show and became a household name with the Larry Sanders show is being celebrated with friends and fans and a look back at his greatest hits and a gift for making so many laugh. This is first time so make him feel welcome. Would you welcome Garry Shandling. Reporter he did standup comedy. Thank you. Wow, thats very nice. Im so excited to be here. I had a great day.

You want to watch the show together tonight . Reporter he starred in a selftitled sitcom. No, no, i know, i know. Ill show you my photo album. You know, i feel like im on gilligans island. I cant get off this date. Reporter but what Garry Shandling will be remembered for most is the the Larry Sanders show. Oh, you could be the sour booker. Why . Huh . Why am i the sour booker . Its just a character. Whatever. Reporter he starred as the dysfunctional, narcissistic host. Whats my name again . All larry. Reporter why were we ready for a show that embraced that awkwardness . I was determined to make sure we explored the human psyche. And now and then i would get a call from one or more of the actual talk shows on saying, that actually happened. Did somebody tell you that . Reporter one of his last appearances with Jerry Seinfeld earlier this year on the web series comedians in cars getting coffee. What i want at my funeral is an actual boxing referee to do a count and at five just wave it off and say hes not getting up. Reporter fondly remembered this morning for his comedic integrity, an inspiration to so many. Thank you. Reporter for Good Morning America, chris connelly, abc news, los angeles. So funny.
