happen. obviously there was a stiff wind blowing the ship and who was at the controls and precisely what they were interchanges were all of these things will be up for massive consideration. >> and john, as you know, the brooklyn bridge is one of the busiest in the country. it wasn't that late. and in those videos, we actually see so many cars driving on that bridge when the accident happened. it's just incredible, right, that no one on the bridge was even injured. >> that is kind of amazing because the intersection of the top of the mast with the bridge, you would have thought that might hit the top of the bridge, one of the cars. in fact, what we've got here is a situation where a wooden ship is the is really no match for an iron bridge, and that is a very tough bridge. >> all right john nance, thank you so much for your insight there. we appreciate it. >> all right gio. now to the installation of pope leo the first roman catholic pope from the u.s. formally taking over this morning as leader of the church. abc's maggie rulli joins us live from vatican city with

the latest there. good morning maggie. >> hey. good morning. what a celebration this morning in saint peter's square. guys, it was incredible to witness the official start of pope leo's papacy. in his homily, he spoke of peace and unity and laid out what he sees as the future of the catholic church. this morning, tens of thousands crowd saint peter's square to mark the official start of pope leo the papacy. you can hear the applause right there. that is pope leo. the first time we are seeing him in the popemobile. he has left saint peter's square going down into rome right now. you can still hear the applause behind me. at one point, the popemobile stopping for pope leo to hold and bless a baby in the crowd. the mass rich in tradition. pope leo praying before the tomb of saint peter before receiving the symbols of the papacy. the pallium, a woolen investment worn over his shoulders. and the fisherman's ring, a signet ring bearing the image of saint peter and traditionally used to seal

letters. the symbols presented by cardinals representing europe, africa and asia i. >> pellegrini, in occasion of. >> pope leo addressing the faithful outside, urging peace and unity in the crowd. more than 150 delegations from around the world, including vice president jd vance and secretary of state marco rubio, as well as president zelensky of ukraine. today, maybe his official start. but pope leo has already taken a proactive role in global affairs, calling for an immediate ceasefire in gaza and a just and lasting peace in ukraine, with the vatican offering to host peace talks between ukraine and russia. and the vatican says that pope leo will be meeting with president zelenskyy. we also know he met with the president of peru before mass today. it seems like he's already taking a growing interest and a lead in global affairs, because we also saw him greeting and blessing people in the crowd. it was really incredible to witness pope leo, this new american pope, interacting with the faithful

that have gathered here in saint peter's square. and i think what's really incredible as we're watching this video is that, you know, there's so much focus on what a remarkable and historic moment this is and what historic past few weeks it's been. but guys, we're only just getting started. we're going to be seeing a lot more of pope leo and what he does for the future of the church. guys. >> that is for sure. quite a morning there in vatican city. maggie. thank you. we do want to turn now to the deadly storm outbreak in our nation's heartland. scenes of destruction across multiple states. the death toll climbing as many of the hardest hit areas could face another round of dangerous weather. abc's alex stone is in london, kentucky with more. alex. good morning whit. >> good morning to you. there is just so much devastation here. it is like this mile after mile, neighborhood after neighborhood, families cleaning up and the number killed continues to rise. this morning, communities left reeling after deadly tornadoes and storms ripped through the

midwest, claiming at least 27 lives in kentucky neighborhoods in ruin. entire rows of houses gone, roofs ripped off, homes. cars shattered. search and rescue teams combing through the wreckage, hoping to find survivors. across the state, 18 people now confirmed dead. >> we're going to need a lot of help. we're going to need a lot of funding. we're going to need a lot of cooperation. >> rescuers say many who lost their lives lived in these london neighborhoods. eight year old ellie tells me it was a scariest few minutes of her young life as their home disintegrated around them. >> everything was just breaking and shattering. it was one of the worst sounds. >> her mom, kendra, injured with a broken foot and bruises from falling debris, held onto her babies to keep them alive. >> and i can remember praying, god, please, please protect my babies. please keep my babies safe. >> residents here have lost so much like carol wells, the home she lived in for 50 years, destroyed. but she says she feels lucky to be alive.

>> i'm just glad that god let us live another day. >> and in missouri, at least seven people dead. this neighborhood destroyed after a tornado tore through. and in saint louis, where five of those lives were taken, crews are working around the clock to clear debris. this massive tree uprooted from the ground, this man running for cover after it fell over his pool deck, narrowly missing him over in illinois. the devastation sprawling there to residents, beginning the painstaking process of picking up the piece. an incredibly guys, this home right here came from across the street. it landed where it is now. the family's possessions all over refrigerators, countertops, toys. and we're told this family, neighbors tell us they got out safely. gio. >> all right. alex, thank you so much for that. now to turn here to the blast outside of california fertility clinic. at least one person killed. and local authorities say it appears to be an intentional act of terrorism. abc's jacqueline lee is there in palm springs this

morning. good morning. jacqueline. >> gio. good morning. you can really get an idea of the magnitude of this explosion. the contents of the building spread across all five lanes of this main road. now authorities are focused on identifying the person killed. this morning a car explosion rocking a palm springs fertility clinic in what officials are calling an act of terrorism. >> terrorism came knocking on the door of palm springs. we survived. >> the blast so powerful it injured at least four people, killed one and severely damaged buildings spanning multiple blocks. >> saturday we have a black cloud of smoke coming up. >> this was probably one of the largest bombing investigations that we've had in southern california. >> officials have a person of interest but said they are not actively searching for a suspect. the person killed was found near the charred car on scene, but officials would not share if that person was a victim or suspect. >> we heard this loud noise. we

actually thought something had hit our building. >> the car explosion originated in the parking lot of the american reproductive center, which describes itself as coachella valley's first and only full service fertility center and ivf lab. the center writing in a statement, we are immensely grateful to share that no members of the arc team were harmed and our lab, including all eggs, embryos and reproductive materials, remains fully secure and undamaged. authorities raided a property in twentynine palms believed to be related to the suspect, not providing more details but clarifying they believe the explosion was an isolated incident. the american reproductive center says it will be fully operational come tomorrow morning. and guys, get this. authorities say that a witness noticed there was a tripod and a camera at the scene of the explosion, as if it were being live streamed. the investigation continues tonight. >> wow. mind blowing there, jacqueline. thank you for those updates. turning now to the

massive manhunt for inmates who busted out of a new orleans jail. seven of the ten who escaped are still on the lam. more than 72 hours later, abc's faith abubey is in new orleans with more on the efforts to try to track them down. good morning. faith. >> yeah. good morning to you, jenny. the search for those seven remaining fugitives growing more desperate this morning. we're now in day three. since that brazen escape from this jail. and that was caught on surveillance camera. and still a majority of those inmates were still on the run. authorities are concerned for the potential threat to the public here. they are ramping up their pleas for public assistance to find them. records show that some of the escaped inmates were being held on murder charges, one of them already convicted of second degree murder. now, investigators say a total of ten inmates took advantage of defective locks at the jail here in new orleans, crawled through a hole behind a toilet and had at least a seven hour head start on friday before jail officials even noticed that they were

gone. three of them are now back in custody, but again, authorities are struggling to find the rest of them. we know some officials have indicated that they believe that this was an inside job. they have launched an internal investigation here at the jail into the stunning security breach, which. >> still so many questions. faith abubey. thank you. this morning, president trump is back in the u.s. after his trip to the middle east and facing some defiant republicans in the house, blocking a key part of his domestic agenda. abc's selina wang is in washington. and selina, it's back to the drawing board on trump's mega bill. good morning. >> hey. good morning. it's not back to square one, but this is a major setback for president trump. yet a group of hardline house republicans defying their party and voting to block president trump's agenda from advancing. so this mega bill would extend his tax cuts and slash spending on programs like medicaid and food stamps. democrats voted down the measure, warning millions would lose their health care coverage, but these hardliners blocked it because they don't believe it goes far enough. they want to

see even deeper spending cuts. they argue that this plan adds too much to the federal deficit. so the house budget committee, they're working through this weekend trying to get this bill back on track. and with president trump, he's putting the pressure on his party, telling them to get this done, stop talking and just get it done. >> all right. so we'll see how all of that plays out. meantime, selina, this also comes as president trump has a very important call with russia's president putin tomorrow. >> yeah, this is a high stakes call. president trump says he's speaking to putin at 10 a.m. tomorrow. then following up with calls to ukrainian president zelenskyy and nato leaders. and this comes just after ukrainian and russian officials met in istanbul for their first face to face talks in more than three years. but no ceasefire deal was reached and neither putin nor zelenskyy were actually present at that meeting. now, it's unclear, though, what kind of pressure president trump can put on putin to get him to try and agree to a cease fire deal with russia and ukraine are still far

apart on key issues with. >> selina wang for us. thank you. and tune into this week. later this morning, jonathan karl speaks with u.s. special envoy steve witkoff about peace talks between russia and ukraine and nuclear negotiations with iran. plus, john speaks with senator rand paul and representative ro khanna about president trump's middle east tour. >> all right. now to a medical first. a simple blood test to help diagnose alzheimer's disease. it's just been cleared by the food and drug administration for marketing. neurologist doctor leah kroll is here to tell us more. good morning to you, doctor kroll. so the fda gave this test a breakthrough device designation to fast track the approval process. explain to us exactly what that means. >> you guys, this is such a big deal. so 7 million americans are living with alzheimer's. that number is projected to double by 2060. so this is something that affects so many people and families in our country. and until now, the diagnostic tools that we've used to, to, to diagnose the disease have been

really invasive, expensive, time consuming tests like advanced brain scans or spinal taps. so to finally have a simple blood test that's accurate, fast, easy, and relatively cheap is huge. really, what this is going to allow us to do is get people that diagnosis faster. and this could not come at a better time because in the last couple of years, we finally have effective treatments for alzheimer's. so to be able to get people quick diagnosis, accurate diagnosis, more important than ever. >> yes. so scary that that number could double in just three decades. now how does this test work? >> so the test looks for two proteins in the blood that are linked to the brain changes we see in alzheimer's. and it's over 90% accurate. so very very good. it's designed for older adults 55 and up with symptoms of cognitive decline. but important to point out here you guys it's not a standalone test. it's really just an addition to the diagnostic toolkit. you still need a comprehensive evaluation by a specialist for that official alzheimer's

diagnosis. it's going to be a little bit of time before this is rolled out to the masses. we need to make sure that we have guidelines in place to make sure that there's kind of safe use of the test, responsible use of the test. we don't want to stoke unnecessary fears or cause unnecessary testing. but again, the idea is soon we will have this great test that will get people to the right specialists, the right treatment, the right clinical trials even faster. >> all. >> right, doctor kroll, thank. >> you so much for being here. really important stuff. absolutely. all right. time now for a check at the weather somara. theodore is standing by with that. >> hey good morning gio. so as we've discussed, this is a multi-day severe weather outbreak that's setting up severe thunderstorm watch in effect right now for little rock parts of arkansas. this is until 11 a.m. central time. you could see wind gusts as high as 70mph. now take a look at the timing on this. overnight storms continue to move through places like texas, oklahoma all the way up to kearney, nebraska, and just to the west of there. this is where we could see strong

tornadoes, very large hail wichita as well. the thing about it is, depending on how the storms behave today, if they really drain the energy from the atmosphere today, we may not end up with a big outbreak tomorrow. but if they don't, if there's that ample juice left in the atmosphere on monday, we have the potential for a tornado outbreak, strong tornadoes, large to giant hail on monday, and then by tuesday. neighborhoods that got hit hard on friday are going to get hit hard again. destructive winds from nashville down to starkville into memphis and huntsville, america.

>> and that's a look at your local forecast with back to you. >> all right tamara, thanks so much. now to the nhl playoffs and a thrilling overtime win for the dallas stars. now headed to the western conference final. abc's ashan singh is here with more on all the action this year on the courts yesterday. now we're on the ice. >> yeah that's right. we're on the ice. and it was heartbreak for winnipeg yesterday as the jets cinderella playoff run came to a sudden end, playing to stave off elimination once again, the jets took to the ice with high emotions. star forward mark scheifele deciding to play after losing his father overnight. and for most of the game, they look like a team on a mission, keeping things tight and forcing overtime. but in the extra frame, it was the stars thomas hurley, who delivered a sudden death goal that punched dallas ticket for a date with the edmonton oilers in the western conference finals. and now all eyes turn to the east, where tonight it's do or die for the defending champion florida panthers and the toronto maple leafs in a game seven matchup.

it's been a back and forth series, as toronto will be counting on star auston matthews to help them advance. but guys, remember the panthers have been here before. they are no strangers to these game sevens. and you know the winner of tonight's matchup. they're going to go on to the eastern conference finals to play the carolina hurricanes guys. >> all right. >> weekend sports with austin. that's right. much appreciate it my man. all right coming up here our court case. rewind cassie ventura's testimony in the sean diddy combs racketeering and sex trafficking trial. and what's ahead in the trial this week. >> also coming up early memorial day deals, the top discounts that you can snag right now, and whether tariffs and the trade war will affect your shopping experience. >> and it's do or die for the nuggets and thunder. espn's chiney ogwumike joins us to preview today's action. we'll be right back here on gma. >> basket of the game he's >> basket of the game he's shooting. lean, new homes-dot-com that improves home-shopping,

sean "diddy" combs racketeering and sex trafficking trial as former girlfriend cassie ventura took the stand and what's to come this week. joining us is abc legal contributor brian buckmire. thank you for being here. how well is the prosecution laying out the case? cassie ventura gave riveting and graphic testimony over four days. did it move the needle in regard to the racketeering or sex trafficking charges against combs? >> sorry to be the attorney and say yes and no to that question. the reason why i say that is because i think cassie ventura, we have been calling her the star witness, in my mind she is the star victim. her testimony was impactful. she was completely credible. i don't think there was a single word or statement that she made that people thought, she's making it up. but the reason why i say no to this is right now the defense has done a good job of positioning the argument of yes, she was abused, no one is questioning that, was it abuse because of a domestic violence relationship or abuse because of trafficking. the star witness will be someone from combs' inner circle who ys

relationship, we knew we were trafficking her, here are the conversations outside of cassie's purview that she doesn't know about, but we did. i'm waiting for that witness and i think that's when you know how strong this case is. >> whit: you're in the courtroom last week and i wonder how did from cassie ventura and the evidence presented. >> cassie is this very soft-spoken individual and matter of fact when she talks about the allegations. there were parts of the testimony you can see jurors had a reaction to, when she broke down and talked about the work that she had done for her own rehabilitation, she began to cry near the end of her testimony, and when they saw seven different stills of the freak-offs, as stoic as many of the jurors were, we saw deep gulps sitting back in their seats, eyes widening up, we saw visceral reactions to some of the evidence that got put into this case. >> gio: cassie's husband was in the courtroom but he left at one point during the testimony. >> i'm sitting in court and,

whit, i was closer to cassie's husband than i am to you right now. and you can see the back of his head and i know a lot of the journalists and people are saying he was so angry about the testimony, yes, to some degree, you can see his face turning red, you can see his jaw tightening, don't forget this is not just cassie's husband, this is the father of her two children and third on the way. you can see him staring at combs at many times, but the reason why he ended up leaving is not because i think the testimony got so difficult for him, but the defense is anticipating to call him as a witness in the future. so a potential witness cannot listen to the testimony of another witness on the stand out of fear of changing or altering their testimony based on what they heard. so he did have to step out, but i don't think he's mad about the part he stepped out in, because it was about the allegations of rape and the consensual intercourse that cassie had with combs after that. >> whit: that's interesting, the dynamic, because we saw some of diddy's kids, children leave the courtroom too.

but this is different because of the potential testimony, right? >> absolutely. you have to remember the time frame here. specifically combs' daughters left, his twin daughters were born in 2006. at the time they left, we were talking about allegations of cassie having an intimate relationship with combs, shortly after their birth, at the time that their mother kim porter broke up with combs and, of course, you hear very grotesque allegations about your father, so i think it is a matter of this is the time that my parents broke up, this is shortly after i was born, and i don't want to hear about my father in this light. i think it may have been a mixture of that and the daughters never came back after leaving a second day of cassie's testimony and she stayed on for another two days. >> janai: this is important context we can only get from someone inside the courtroom, so thank you. what about the latest witness to testify, dawn richard. her allegations were contained in her civil lawsuit against diddy which he broadly denied. what kind of impact do you think her testimony is having? >> she was the last one to testify on friday and we expect

her to start back up again on monday. she has a very limited role here. she is talking not about the allegations as you pointed out in her civil lawsuit, as to what she claimed sean combs did to her, but about an allegation of the violence that sean combs put upon cassie, where she -- cassie was making breakfast at the scene, sean combs got mad, said where is my eggs, came down, took the pan and started swinging it at cassie. this isn't just violence for the sake of freak-offs. this is violence for the sake of the relationship and also the seriousness of this violence as well that dawn richard saw firsthand. she probably will continue to testify on monday. >> gio: so many details in this case. thank you for bringing us that. make sure to follow the abc news podcast bad rap, the case against diddy, hosted by brian, on apple podcast, spotify, or wherever you listen. i hear it is number one, so congratulations to you on that. let's bring in somara with another look at your weather. >> somara: all right, guys, we have to find ways to beat the

heat. record heat in play anywhere you see a red box is where you could potentially break a daily record high. that includes austin, texas, 96 degrees, houston, 97 by tuesday. coming home from work in jacksonville, hot on monday, 97 degrees. this area of the country down toward the south, we are seeing above average temperatures. can't say the same in the southwest. cooler than it should be. but still dry nonetheless. so that is leading to that critical red flag warning that we have fire weather in place, humidity as low as 5%, so be very mindful if you live in the southwest. that's a look at the forecast around the country. >> janai: getting hot out there in some places. thank you. still coming up, no need to wait

changes lives. >> we are >> whit: we're back with the teams looking to make a statement as we head deeper into the nba playoffs. joining us to break it all down is espn basketball analyst chiney ogwumike. chiney, always great to have you. good morning. >> good morning, good morning. >> whit: let's jump in here, do or die, game seven tonight between the nuggets and thunder. what do you think it will be the deciding factor here in terms of who comes out on top? >> first of all, i want you guys to know if my voice seems dead, it is because i've been in basketball heaven. i was in the garden for knicks game six and barclays for liberty ring night. to answer your question about today, we have the two best

words in sports, game seven and on top of it, it is the battle of mvps. three-time mvp jokic of the nuggets versus presumptive mvp shay one is health. their squad is gilegois-alexander.r squad is he's a walking triple-double. there are a few factors that may give the edge to the thunder. one is health. the squad is healthy and youngest in the nba. they have fresh legs. two, they're at home where they have been having the best home record in the nba. and, three, they're coming off a loss. it will be motivated. so this will be a brawl for it all and i cannot wait because this matchup reminds me of eminem, will the real mvp please stand up, please stand up. >> janai: you mentioned the knicks taking it in six. they're heading to indiana to face off against the pacers, a rivalry with deep playoff history. what do the knicks need to do to keep this magical postseason alive and away from a hungry indiana team? >> i am not a new yorker, but as a basketball fan, this has been the greatest 48 hours of my life.

spike lee, timothee chalamet, bad bunny, fat joe, i am distracted. but the knicks need to keep it star studded on the court as well. we saw them win with grit and toughness in game six. they were the aggressors, they were the hunters. karl anthony towns was flexing in the paint. jalen brunson was blowing kisses after knocking down threes. josh hart, his face got bloody and it did not matter he was smiling like a crazy man. like a warrior. stars love the knicks and love this squad because they don't play perfect, but they play hard. so to beat the pacers, it is a how bad do you want it, they got to play defense because one thing i know this city, they want it really bad. >> whit: they do. >> gio: it is the start of the wnba season. we had good games yesterday. what stood out to you? >> all right, you guys, caitlin clark, she came in entering the preseason as the favorite for mvp for the 2025 season. and even though it is just one

game, a very small sample size, you can see that it is no longer just talk. she can truly be the mvp this year. in her first game of the year, she had a triple-double, 20, 10, and 10. it is only her second year and she's tied with candace parker and her team had a convincing win by 35 points. the fever, they made off season moves, and now with bonner and howard, they can compete with the best of the best and might bring out an mvp in caitlin clark. >> janai: she shows up, she shows up. thank you so much, chiney. abc's coverage of today's nba game between the thunder and nuggets starts at 3:30 p.m. eastern and we'll be right back here on "gma." my moderate to severe crohn's symptoms kept me out of the picture. now i have skyrizi. ♪ i've got places to go and i'm feeling free. ♪ ♪ control of my crohn's means everything to me. ♪ ♪ control is everything to me.♪

muni, so it created an electrical hazard. crews came in to clear the tree, and p-g-and-e's arrived shortly after to help with the downed lines, and a large branch came down on battery street near pacific, blocking a lane of traffic. it didn't appear to have hit anything, narrowly missing a garbage can. let's check in on today's conditions with meteorologist frances dinglasan. >> hi, zach, it's still going to be windy once again today in parts of the north bay and along the coast, but not as gusty as yesterday. temperatures right now range from upper 40s to low 60s. so a little bit of a chillier start. but then this afternoon inland areas will warm up some more with plenty of sunshine for everyone. we'll see some low 80s for inland areas around the bay. lots of 70. oakland 72, san jose 74. but the sea breeze still keeping it cool. half moon bay only 60 degrees. san francisco 67 degrees. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so still windy, but warmer today. and then it is going to feel like summer monday through thursday 90 for the inland
