The worlds most popular tv shows. Game of thrones. Her royal visit to the real iron throne. And good morning, america. Look who is back at the table, Michael Strahan. Im back. You cant get rid of me. You cant get rid of me. Im like a roach. Ill always come back. We dont want to get rid of you. We have to go to army, our game of thrones expert. What is the queen doing there . I love game of thrones. Anybody that anybody is giving birth to dragons, you have to love the show. And the queen recognizes that. And for that, i applaud her. Michael says, im many. I was in washington, d. C. Yesterday. The white house, a daylong summit on working families. Had an opportunity to walk with mrs. Obama. She weighed in on perhaps what she will be doing or not doing when they leave the white house. We want to start with the new terror threat. Intelligence streaming in about planning for possible attacks on passenger planes. New kinds of bombing we havent seen before. Lets get right to Pierre Thomas in washington. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, george. Abc news has learned that radicals operating in syria, are trying to develop the next information of improvised explosives that could be smuggled on to commercial planes. Sources tell abc news, the u. S. Government has obtained intelligence an aqueda affiliate in syria, has joined forces with al qaedas satellite in yemen, to try to produce new bombs. The yemen group, known for its innovative explosivemaking, was behind the underwear bomb plot to blow up an airliner over detroit. And the 2010 plot to take over cargo planes over the u. S. With printer bombs. While no specific plot has been uncovered, some u. S. Analysts believe the terrorists are trying to develop new, difficult to connect bombs, to target a u. S. Or europeanbound plane. Al qaeda in yemens bombmaking expertise, with thousands of foreign fighters with u. S. And european passports. Monday, the fbi director expressed his concern about radicals operating in syria, and now iraq, flowing over porous borders. Were spending a tremendous amount of time identifying those who go. And very concerned about syria as a breeding ground and a staging ground for terrorist groups. Reporter concerns about new improvised explosives first surfaced earlier this year, opting warnings to airlines about toothpaste and cosmetic bombs. Now, we know more about why those concerns continue. George . Pierre, thanks very much. We certainly do. Now, to the tornadoes that are ripping through the midwest. Three reported in the midwest, damaging homes with all that rain and flooding rivers. It keeps going on and on and on, ginger. All along a lot of the stationary fronts. Theres not much movement. Thats a problem. One of them came, a tornado. The National Weather service, estimating it runs and you can see the damage. Including denver. Yesterday, had ha a warning that includes the airport. But fortunately, nothing happens. Large hail, damaging winds, all possible from the panhandle of texas through oklahoma. And up to ft. Collins. We want to check in on prior lake, minnesota. And the flood stage hasnt been reached or surpassed like it will be. The worst is yet to come. Most of the rain will move to the east, though, including parts of the northeast. Buffalo, syracuse. Look at some of those numbers. Fourplus inches. Ill have a lot more coming up in your nations weather. Good morning, everyone. We begin with breaking news out of miami. At least seven people have been shot overnight. Two of them killed. Many many others in critical or serious condition. This happened inside an apartment complex, just north of downtown. Police have not discussed a motive or whether the victims were targeted. A Major Development from the crisis in iraq. After days of fighting, sunni militants have seized control of iraqs largest oil refinery, giving them power to regulate electric and gas supplies. This morning secretary of state john kerry is trying to convince kurdish leaders in the north, to join a new iraqi government. Kerry told abcs alex marquardt, theres still hope iraq can stay united. So, theres this shock, this opportunity for iraq, to come up on its own choice, that would avoid, actually falling into civil war. Iraqs Prime Minister has agreed to begin forming that new government by july 1st. A demand made by the u. S. , in hopes of appeasing the sunni majority. 60 more schoolgirls have been kidnapped by a group in nigeria, the same group thats been holding more than 200 girls since april. A white house lawyer is being forced to testify before congress after a gative latenight hearing over whether the agency targeted conservative groups. The congressman leading the investigation, accused the irs commissioner about lying over lost emails tied to that scandal. But the commissioner insisted theres no evidence of a crime, saying the emails were lost when a computer crashed. Well, world cup fever turned into chaos on the streets of los angeles. Hundreds of fans celebrating mexicos big win jumped on cars, blocked intersections before eventually facing off police. Several were arrested. And finally, a famous athlete has learned the hard way that those fancy sports cars we all dream of driving may not have the best gas mileage. With his embarrassed girlfriend in the passenger seat, evan turner of the Indiana Pacers ran out of gas driving down the highway in ohio. And you see his cherry red ferrari. He needed an assist from an old College Teammate who brought him a can of gas, which evan had some trouble opening. Oh, well. Look, we even have photographic evidence of that. The teammate boaposted the picts all over social media. The friends turn into enemies. All his cool points for the ferrari that little tank of gas, probably got him about ten feet before he had to get another one. But all his cool points for driving the ferrari bombed. Two excellent points there, michael. Were going to move on to a new warning about drones and passenger planes. A growing number of incidents. And the government issuing a new alert. Abcs david kerley is in washington for us with the latest on all this. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, robin. This wasnt just the faa issuing a warning. It was the secretary of transportation, who reiterated the current rules. Pleading with americans to keep the aircraft under control, as the number of incidents is on the rise. They are small, light, and inexpensive. And sometimes flying too close to real aircraft. We just saw a little drone below us. Reporter that was a jumbo jet on approach to new yorks jfk last year. And just weeks ago, near tallahassees airport. Somebody reported three miles east of the field, a remotecontrolled aircraft. Reporter a minijet got too close to an aircraft. In the past 2 years, 15 sti incidents in which remotecontrolled aircraft got too close to planes. A nasa database shows 50 incidents in the past decade. Worrisome for pilots. Hitting an airplane going 200, 250 miles per hour, if it hits the wrong place, comes in through the cockpit, hits the glass, it can hit the pilot or the copilot. Reporter thats why this morning the secretary of transportation is warning anyone who buys a drone, to follow the current rules. Keep them away from airports and populated areas. The problem, the technology is moving much faster than the rulemaking. Look what we found at a hobby store for 700. This is the phantom. Four rotors, carry a camera. And go 2,200 feetings. Those capabilities outstrip the current rules. The faa was supposed to have new rules last year, but thats been delayed this year, with tests across the country. Privacy a big concern. And sunday, a seattle woman looked out her window and reported a drone was staring back at her. And she called police. Technology is growing so fast. 22 miles per hour, it can travel. A new medical report with a warning for parents. That fortified cereal we give our kids to get them vitamins may be doing more harm than good. Dr. Richard besser is here. The study says maybe it gives children too much of three, key nutrients. They were looking at vitamin a, zinc and niacin. They saying that the cereals are fortified at a level for adults not for kids. And these are real drugs. What does the report recommend . Theyre saying high levels of vitamin a can cause problems with things like hair loss, bone problems, liver problems. They want the fda to recalculate all of the levels to be based on whats recommended for kids. If it says greater than 25 , they shouldnt go there. Fda says theyre looking at the labels. What should parents do right now . I think its important for a couple things. One is, we do need vitamins and minerals. Youre going to get a lot of these from your food. But one of the important things is, if it says fortified with vitamins and minerals, it doesnt mean its better for you. A lot of them are sweetened breakfast cereals. And those arent good because of all of the sugar in there. You have to eat a ton of the cereal to o. D. On vid mtamins. Ive never seen or heard of a problem with a child having too much of the vitamins. Its a theoretical risk. Its good theyre going to change the labels. But i dont think parents need to worry this morning while their kids are eating breakfast. Now, to the allday summit on working families. President obama making a strong pitch for guaranteed paid maternity leave. I had a chance to talk to the first lady about that and other issues facing americans. Monday afternoon, president obama giving a keynote address at the summit, urging a big change in workplace policy. Theres only one developed country in the world that does not offer paid maternity leave. That is us. And thats not the list you want to be on by your lonesome. Reporter just hours later, i spoke with first Lady Michelle obama. The landscape is changing. Women are going into the workforce. Theres more stayathome dads. Is that part of the movement in letting everybody know it is an issue for everyone in the family . Absolutely. Men, you know, understand in a you need that time, too, because that time he spent taking the late night shift, not only did it save me. But he connected with our girls in a way that i still see. So, this is about strengthening the whole family. Reporter one thing that really touched a lot of people is when he said, yes, you are a strong woman. A strong mother. A strong wife. But that early in the marriage, to see you break down in tears because you were trying to juggle so much. The minute those kids come into the world, they just rip your heart out of your chest. Our first job is to make sure that our kids are onpoint. Employers have to know that family life isnt right, if theres a worry, if you dont think youre leaving your child in good care, if theyre not healthy and whole and happy, youre going to bring that worry to work. Reporter another hot topic was minimum wage and equal pay. Studies are showing that having a fair wage, decent policies in the life, creating a flexible environment, that improves the bottom line for companieses. Reporter you have said that you and your husband would like your daughters to get a minimum wage job. To build character and understand what its like. What kind of job do you think . It doesnt matter what it is. I think the whole point is they learn how to roll up their sleeves and work hard and understand. There are people who get up every day for their entire lives and go to a job thats not fun. And they do it to put food on the table. Reporter when you leave washington, malia will be in college. I know. Reporter sasha will be in high school. There are many people wondering whats your next act . Me . Reporter will it be political . Yes, you. It will not be political. It definitely will not be. It will be missionbased. It will be servicefocused. Reporter we even talked about the idea of a woman being president. Do you foresee that happening . When should that happen . That should happen as soon as possible. [ applause ] the person who should do the job is the person who is the most qualified. And i think we have some options, dont we . And she left it at that, with those options. Very clear its not going to be her. No. When they leave washington in a couple years. But it was an allday summit. The president spoke. Vice President Biden and his wife spoke. Just had community leaders, industry leaders. And really trying to fix this problem that many people have about that balance and finding that way to make it for all families. That was a great job by you, by the way. It was such a great honest and frank discussion. You should see what we left on the cutting room floor. It was a live stream. Everybody could participate. Great job, robin. Now, to gma at the world cup. Team usas heartbreaking tie was the mostwatched soccer match ever on american tv, with 25 million viewers. The team has been prepping for its next big challenge, thursdays crucial game against germany. And Abcs Paula Faris has the latest from rio. Good morning, paula. Reporter what an intriguing matchup this is going to be, Jurgen Klinsmann, the highest paid soccer coach in american history. And its for games like this thursday against germany, that he will have a chance to earn that salary. Arguably the best Team Remaining in the world cup. Number four for germany. Reporter and the one team usa needs to beat or tie to guarantee a spot in the next round. Usa coach Jurgen Klinsmann knows the german team well. West germany, Jurgen Klinsmann. Reporter a native of the country, he won a world cup for germany in 1990. Then, coached the German National team. And onequarter of the u. S. Squad is made up of players with german ties, like jermaine jones. Klinsmann said the talk of the two countries is undeniable. How do you feel about taking on your native land . It will be a special day. But once the ref starts the game, you just want to compete. Reporter considering coach klinsmann is german, coached the germans, he knows their game plan. Is that a advantage for team usa . A huge advantage. Especially coming in as an underdog. Reporter its not just klinsmanns passport drawing attention. Its also his paycheck. A lofty 2. 5 million per year. Is he worth it . I think so. He played at the highest level. You have that respect. And then, you have this international respect from other players who will come to the United States to play. Reporter klinsmann says his melting pot of a team is up for the challenge. Despite germanys powerhouse reputation. They have a lot of strength. But also, they have weaknesses. And hopefully we find those weaknesses and make it happen for us. Reporter do the germans have a little advantage over the americans . The u. S. Coach said they get an extra day of rest. They did not play in the amazon. And they travel 50 less than the u. S. Team. Michael, all of that could serve as motivation for team usa. Hopefully team usa can get it done. I grew up in germany, paula. Im getting pooled. But im going for usa. Usa, baby. Got to get this done. All right, paula, thank you. You at home can watch the big game between team usa and germany on espn thursday morning at 11 30 eastern. And full slate of action today. Four games on tap on espn. That was really brave. Come out and root for team usa. Yeah. 19 years, george, i spent in germany. Is there some way we could formulate a bet that if you lose, you have to wear lederhosen. What do you wear if i win . Ginger . Im in on that bet. I want to see the lederhosen. Now, we have to get to the local forecast.
