good morning, america. and there's breaking news. tornado warnings. >> large tornado on the ground. >> storm chasers capture it all. deadly tornadoes, moving across the middle of the country, killing at least four in two states. this oklahoma school, completely flattened. my exclusive interview with president obama. he takes on his fiercest critics, his own mistakes and donald trump's challenge. >> most people feel pretty confident, that the president was born, where he says he was, in hawaii. he doesn't have horns. home invasion. a country music singer's relative, dragged from her home into the woods by a stranger wearing camouflage.

this morning, her family pleads for her safe return. and "black swan" bombshell, who really did all of the dancing in the role that won natalie portman an oscar? her ballerina double breaks her silence in her first television interview. an abc news exclusive. and good morning, everyone. that dangerous line of storms, still very active right now. number of tornado warnings all across the south. with those storm chasers following every moment. >> and we just got a report of another death now in arkansas. very dangerous storms. i'm just back from washington. that exclusive interview with president obama. the president did the interview just before his new campaign rallies. the campaign in chicago. i could tell he was warming up. i'm really surprised he took on the birther controversy. i thought he would take a pass. he seemed to love talking about it. >> and the manner in which he took it on, too. >> big smile. >> with humor.

and also, we have a royal exclusive this morning. we have the first look at where kate middleton will spend her last night as a single woman. >> they have done a huge makeover of that suite just for her. >> they really have. just for her. first, let's start with what's happening in oklahoma right now. all of the tornadoes that ripped through the heartland overnight. and clayton sandell is in hard-hit oklahoma, for us this morning. good morning, clayton. >> reporter: good morning, robin. it's hard to comprehend the catastrophic power of this tornado. it left a path of destruction one mile wide and nine miles long. this is all that's left of the only elementary school and high school here in town. the students weren't here at the time. and it's a good thing. because this is all that's left of a grade school classroom. take a look at this over here. this tornado was powerful enough to overturn this car, and with it, overturning the lives of hundreds of people here.

>> whoa! that's violent. >> large tornado on the ground. large tornado on the ground. >> reporter: the twisters rolled in right around dinner time. residents say it felt like a bomb. they had only moments to flee. >> we're here for the tornado. >> reporter: two public schools totally destroyed. literally a pile of rubble. >> anybody home? >> reporter: hundreds of homes are destroyed or damaged. residents were forced to conduct their own rescue missions, looking for survivors and those still trapped. some spent the night in their cars after their homes were destroyed. officials who can't even reach some of the hardest hit areas are calling it a nightmare. >> it's bad. we can't get to a lot of places we need to, without using chain saws or heavy equipment to move the trees. >> reporter: and really, the only way to tell that this was a school is to look around at the dozens of mangled desks that now litter campus here.

these tornadoes are moving east, toward arkansas, where they have already killed three people. robin? >> clayton, thank you. thankfully no one was at the school when that tornado hit. wabc's lee goldberg is in our weather center right now tracking the storms. what do you see, lee? >> and robin, we're now learning of the a sixth fatality. the one in arkansas, a 6-year-old boy crushed by a tree. these are the same storms that were in oklahoma overnight. they're now going through mississippi, tennessee. from nashville, to birmingham. these storms will last right into the weekend. the storms can bring heavy rain, strong winds. dangerous lightning. listen to the watches and warnings from your abc stations. right now, the weather continues to be severe throughout the day. george? >> thanks, lee. now, my interview with

president obama, since he announced his re-election run. we talked about everything from the birther battle, to the rising gas prices worrying so many of you. and the president began by brushing back the criticism of congressional republicans who said his blistering budget speech on wednesday has poisoned the well of bipartisanship. >> absolutely not. look, if you look at my speech yesterday, it was not so much a critique of what the house republicans proposed as it was a description of what they proposed. >> reporter: i feel like there's no common ground there. >> here's the thing that i think is good. everybody now agrees that the deficit has to be cut. we can come up with some very serious spending cuts that democrats and republicans can agree helps to put us on the right path. the key from my perspective is making sure it's balanced. >> reporter: you have to extend the debt limit by may. and your job is a lot tougher because of your vote in the senate against extending the debt limit. when did you realize that vote was a mistake? >> i think that it's important

to understand the vantage point of a senator versus the vantage point of a president. when you're a senator, traditionally what's happened is. this is always a lousy vote. nobody likes to be tagged as having increased the debt limit for the united states by $1 trillion. as president, you start realizing, you know what? we can't play around with this stuff. this is the full faith and credit of the united states. so, that was just an example of a new senator, you know, making what is a political vote, as opposed to doing what was important for the country. and i'm the first one to acknowledge it. >> reporter: i asked our viewers for questions for you. thousands came in. >> gas prices? >> you guessed it. i want to show you louise ross, from chester, new hampshire. why not release at least some of the oil in our reserves before gas reaches $5 a gallon? if that's rainy day fund, it's pouring out. give us a break. that's what it's there for. >> i think we are monitoring the situation very closely. the strategic petroleum reserve was designed for when oil actually shuts off.

having said that, i understand how big of a strain this is on family budgets. now, one good thing that we did was, in december, with republicans, we were able to pass a package of tax cuts that has helped to buffer some of that strain on families. >> reporter: but you're not ready to release the reserves yet? >> the reserves are something, that i think we have to be very careful about. and we don't want to catch ourselves in a situation in the middle east where we're using it now and it turns out we need it later. >> reporter: why should americans re-elect you? >> i think we've gone through 2 1/2 of trying years that we've seen since the great depression. during that time, not only have we been able to yank this economy out of a very, very deep recession, not only have we been able to stabilize the financial system and get the economy to grow again. not only have we now produced

over 1.8 million jobs, just in the last year, but what we've also been able to do is to make this society a little fairer, more competitive. >> reporter: unemployment's higher. the debt's higher. >> we still have to put more people back to work. we have to bring the deficit down. internationally, obviously, we still have enormous challenges. i think i'm equipped to help us finish the job. >> reporter: i wonder how you size up your potential opponents. all of us have been struck by donald trump rising in the polls by attacks on your background. what do you make of that? >> over the last 2 1/2 years there's been an effort to go at me in a way that is politically expedient in the short-term, for republicans. but creates, i think, a problem for them when they want to actually run in the general election, where most people feel pretty confident the president

was born where he says he was, in hawaii. he doesn't have horns. >> reporter: outside, the president expanded on the theme, explaining why trump's attacks may actually help him. >> the vast majority of americans, across the country, democratic or republican, really want this election to be about growing the economy, getting control of the deficit, preparing the future for our kids. and my suspicion is, anybody who is not addressing those questions -- >> reporter: is in trouble? >> is going to be in trouble. >> reporter: thanks for your time. >> thank you. >> you can see the whole interview on my bottom line blog at abcnews.com. in your interview, the president also touched on the anger over those air traffic controllers falling asleep on the job. a top government official resigned over the incident. but what's being done to make sure that no more of them happen? lisa stark has the story. >> can't seem to get ahold of the tower here.

>> reporter: the cases of sleepy controllers have certainly woken up the white house. and president obama made it clear that falling asleep on the job is unacceptable. >> the fact is, when you're responsible for the lives and safety of people up in the air, you better do your job. >> reporter: the uproar has cost the man in charge of air traffic control his job. hank krakowski resigned from the faa yesterday. but is there a broader problem? are there enough controllers? do they get enough rest? in fact, the faa and controllers union have been studying the fatigue issue for over a year now. and their report finds that acute fatigue occurs on a daily basis. and fatigue can occur at anytime on any shift. sleep experts say controllers are ripe for exhaustion, often bouncing between day shifts and night shifts. >> when we're constantly having to adjust to different work schedules, our body is always playing catchup. >> reporter: even worse, overnight controllers work in

dim lighting with little stimulation. and long breaks between radio calls. yet, they have to remain vigilant. >> that's exactly the type of task that's hardest to maintain, when you're at the wrong point in your biological rhythm. >> reporter: what's the solution? well, one recommendation from the government study, allowing controllers to take scheduled naps, with breaks as long as 2 1/2 hours, to allow for both sleeping and waking up. now, that may seem like a long break in an eight-hour overnight shift. but sleep experts say it is critical. it will truly help. it may be a tough sell politically, though. it's taken decades to get new fatigue rules for pilots. no reason to think it would be any easier for controllers. george? >> there is a great demand for it. lisa, thanks very much. now, to the kidnapping that's rocking the country music community in a small town in tennessee. singer whitney duncan is making a passionate plea for the safe

return of her cousin, who was last seen being dragged from her home by a man in camouflage. linsey davis is on the scene in tennessee with the latest. good morning, lynn linsey. >> reporter: good morning, george. we're at the command center at the fairgrounds. the search for holly bobo fans out from here for miles. all over town, there are pink ribbons and posters like this posted of holly. her mother's plea, simply heart wrenching. >> holly, i love you so much. please, try to get home to us. and if anybody knows anything about her, please. please, help us find her. >> reporter: holly bobo has been missing since wednesday morning. her brother called 911 and said a man wearing camouflage dragged the 20-year-old from the car port of her family home toward the woods. >> it might have been somebody close, somebody who knew her routine. or when i left, when she left,

or when my daughter left to do to school is what i've got in my mind. i don't know that for sure. >> reporter: the community is offering a $25,000 reward for any information that leads to the nursing student's safe return. >> just anybody that can help, come on and help us, please. >> did you see anything that is not right? >> reporter: the family asked for help. and they got it. on foot, on horseback and atv. hundreds of volunteers continue combing the woods and fields surrounding their home in western tennessee. >> if this was my daughter, i would want everybody doing this for her. >> we do pray for holly. >> reporter: parsons is a close knit community with little crime. the abduction has left many of the 2,500 residents stunned and prayerful. >> it's amazing, this community, what they've done. they have not stopped since the time they were mobilized and said go, they have not stopped. >> reporter: bobo's cousin is country singer, whitney duncan. she recently tweeted, lord, have mercy. i feel like i'm walking in a nightmare.

safe to say, her whole family feels that way. >> i just want her back. >> thank you. >> reporter: the search continues around the clock. but the weather is causing a big hindrance. in the forecast, heavy rain, high winds and even the possibility of tornados. george? >> oh, my goodness. thank you very much. let's go to juju chang with the rest of the headlines. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with the biggest attempt yet to hold wall street accountable for its role in the financial crisis. regulators are in talks with jpmorgan chase, citigroup and other banks to settle fraud allegations related to the toxic mortgages. "the wall street journal" reports the settlement could surpass the record $550 million goldman sachs paid for misleading investors. the japanese government has ordered the operator of that devastating nuclear power plant to compensate those away there their homes.

48,000 house holds get an initial payment of $12,000. ford is expanding its recall of the best selling f-150 pickup. more than 1 million trucks from model years 2004 and 2006, are being recalled because of problems with the air bags. and finally, a seismic shift in daytime television. with ratings down, abc is replacing two long-time soap operas with lifestyle shows. by mario batali and tim gunn. "all my children" and "one life to live," ends in january. that's the news at 7:15. >> any of our friends, susan lucci and cameron mathison. i used to schedule my classes in college around "all my children." >> really? >> yeah. i did. not ashamed to say it. a lot of kids did it. i was one of them. >> we used to call it all my kids. we would sit around and watch. >> mine was "the odd couple." >> that says so much. let's get over for the weather again. wabc's lee goldberg in for sam champion. good morning, lee. >> good morning, guys. this line of storms, really resilient here. moving through parts of tennessee and mississippi. there's a new tornado warning

south of but not including jackson, tennessee, right now. an incredible line moving towards birmingham. to the north, there's a blizzard going on in parts of nebraska and kansas. blizzard warnings in this hour. parts of i-80, motorists have been stranded for many hours. in terms of storm reports, we've seen over 200 across the area. that includes ten tornadoes. and the severe weather threat will move east today. places like atlanta, nashville, and louisville, under the gun as we go into tonight. that's the weather across the nation.

looks like we're in stac >> looks like we're in storm track mode this morning. more weather in the next half hour. robin? >> lee, thank you. the diet pills alli and xenical promise safe weight loss without starving yourself. 40 million people have tried it. but now, for the second time if five years, a consumer group is calling for these drugs to be taken off the market.

dr. richard besser is here to talk about the growing controversy. we're going to talk about it again. what are the concerns? >> public citizen is concerned. they want fda to remove these drugs because of concerns of liver failure, kidney stones and something called pancreatitis. let me put the numbers into perspective. there's 40 million people who have taken these drugs. for liver failure, they've identified 13 cases. kidney stones, 73 cases. and pancreatitis, 47 cases. it's very, very rare. there's no studies to show that these are actually caused by taking these diet drugs. >> what is your recommendation, if you are taking one of these drugs? >> let me put it this way. the drugs aren't very effective. over the course of a year, you may lose five pounds over people who do diet and exercise. there's side-effects, people know, the cramping, loose stools. those kinds of things. but if it works for you, there's nothing i'm hearing here that says you shouldn't take it. if you develop belly pain, which could be a sign of a more severe side-effect, stop and talk to your doctor.

but there's nothing here that i think that says these should be taken off the market. there aren't other diet drugs to offer to people. >> you've been consistent about saying this and feeling this way. >> i'm not a big diet drug fan. but there's not a lot to offer to people who are trying to lose weight. we know diet and exercise on their own are not very effective. >> it doesn't work all the time. >> that's right. >> thank you, rich. we should tell viewers, glaxo smithkline, the maker of alli, tells abc, gave us a statement. gsk stands firmly behind alli. its safety has been established through 100 clinical studies, involving 30,000 patients. i want to switch gears right now. this is is a story that may fall into the category of too good to be true. it's a video that has gone viral showing soccer star, david beckham, sinking three soccer balls into three garbage cans from 60 yards. the fact it's an ad for pepsi, made jeremy hubbard take a closer look. >> david, you think you can hit that trash can over there? >> reporter: we knew he could bend it. but who knew david beckham could do this?

>> no! >> reporter: there's no way he could do that again. three times? come on. >> yes! >> reporter: sit pure athletic ability? or digitally enhanced stunt? he may be holding the answer in his hand. take a close look at the diet pepsi. >> that's part of the discussion that the market wanted to have. maybe it's real. maybe it's fake. but it's awesome. >> reporter: i guess it could be the real deal. i mean, how hard sit to get this into that? only one way to find out. okay. so, we did use some editing. but they all do, don't they? how else could you catch a football through a piece of drywall? or score the world's longest basketball shot? either we are being fooled by marketers. or the sports world is overrun with superhuman athletes that

can do this with a tennis ball. this, with a golf ball. or this, with a pair of nikes. david beckham insists these kicks were 100% real. let's hope the guy famous for bending it isn't bending the truth. for "good morning america," jeremy hubbard, abc news, new york. >> look at him jumping up and down. >> i believe jeremy. >> absolutely. becks said he had five or six hours of practice on the beach before doing this. i just don't know. i don't know. >> had to have thousands of hours of practice. the world's best soccer player. there's no way. when i first saw this, i couldn't stop watching it. i watched it three times. i wanted to know. i wanted to see it. >> i say we issue a challenge to becks. come here to times square and do it again. coming up, how many of those amazing ballet moves that won natalie portman an oscar were really her dancing? the ballerina who says she is the real black swan speaks out.

the aisle. i guess she's going to have to get used to style, and she will, that night. >> that's a good way to start, george. and the amazing story of the mom who gave birth to two sets of identical twins at the same time. >> that's one full house right now. >> went from one to five, with kids like that. first, a disturbing case in california is raising concerns about the dangers of internet dating. a los angeles woman has filed a lawsuit against the country's largest online dating service, match.com, claiming she was sexually assaulted by a man she met on the site. the alleged victim is speaking out. and andrea canning is here with more. good morning, andrea. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the woman being referred to as jane doe, would like to remain anonymous and spoke to us in shadow. her allegations are in dispute. but she raises a good question. should online dating sites do more to screen online sexual

predators? too scared to show her face, this ivy league graduate who works in film and television, wanted to meet someone special when she went on the dating site, match.com. she met this man. and they met up in west hollywood. >> he said all these things that made him sound like a nice guy. >> reporter: she agreed to meet him again. but she claims on the second date, things took a dark turn. >> i got out of the car. he got out of his side. he followed me into the building. went up the elevator. we walked to the front door. i opened the door. and he went straight into the bathroom. and then, came out of the bathroom. and he jumped me. >> reporter: she says after the alleged attack, she went back online and discovered wurtzel had been convicted of several counts of sexual battery. charges are pending against him

in this case. wurtzel's attorney denies the allegations. >> what actually went on, was consenting sexual encounter. two, consenting adults, who went on a second date. and went back up to her apartment. >> reporter: now, she is filing a civil suit against match.com. >> never in my wildest dreams did i think i was going out with a criminal. >> what we're asking for, when someone uses their credit card to pay, that they basically run the name through a federal sex offender data bank. >> reporter: the lawsuit asks for a temporary restraining order that would prevent new members from signing up until such a measure is in place. a match.com representative tried to speak at a news conference but was removed. he spoke to reporters outside. >> it's impossible for a company over 1 million subscribers and 10 million members to do a thorough and complete background search on people. of course, match.com doesn't want to give a false sense of security. >> and internet dating sites don't generally do a background check.

for criminal history on the people who register. no state has a law requiring them. keep in mind if you're looking for a mate online, it's dater beware. we were talking and it's really up to you to use common sense and protect yourself. >> it would be good to know that the online service is doing that. yes, if you don't know the person, yes. do something on your own. >> be careful. >> have a good weekend, andrea. >> thanks, guys. now, the bombshell interview that takes us behind the scenes of "the black swan." that's the movie starring natalie portman, who won her first oscar, playing a prima ball reen narks driven crazy by the demands of her role. she was given a lot of praise for doing much of the dancing herself. but we met the double that says she did most of the dancing. and elizabeth vargas is here. >> reporter: the moviemakers do not dispute that a dance double was used. the fight is over how much she was used. it's become an issue because it

was so focused on, natalie portman's physical transformation to a ballerina after only a year and half of training. it's led to an unprecedented squabble between the moviemakers and the star ballerina. in "black swan," natalie portman wowed movie audiences with her portrayal of a prima ballerina going mad. but this woman says she did many of the dance scenes. she is professional ballerina, sarah lane. >> full-body shots with actual dancing is me, that's why they hired me. >> reporter: it's your body? your feet? >> mm-hmm. >> reporter: in this scene re-created for our cameras, natalie's face was superimposed on sarah's body. were you told you would get credit for this? were you told this was a secret? >> i didn't do the movie to get

fame or recognition or anything. >> reporter: after sarah gave a small interview to "glamour" magazine, about her role in the film, called "the real black swan," she got a call from one of the films producers. what did he say to you? >> if i would please not do any more interviews until after the oscars. that it looked bad for natalie's image. >> and the oscar goes to, natalie portman, "black swan." >> do you think that any of the people that voted for natalie for the best act res oscar would not have voted for her if they knew she didn't do all of the dancing in this movie? >> i can guarantee you it would have hurt. there was a lot of great dancing that sarah lane did that enhanced the performance and helped it win an oscar. >> they were trying to create an image, this facade that natalie had done something extraordinary. something that is pretty much impossible. >> reporter: to become -- >> to become a professional

ballerina in a year and a half. >> reporter: natalie's co-workers moved swiftly to defend the actress. costar mila kunis said natalie deserved all the recognition she got. the director said by his count, 80% of the dance shots in the film were natalie portman. is it possible his math can be correct and your version can still be correct? >> it's possible if you're counting the close-ups of her face, as actual dancing shots. but i don't call close-ups of her face actual dancing. an oscar is for acting. and she did an amazing job. >> reporter: are you afraid you'll pay a price for speaking up? >> you know, i don't care. i have so much respect for this artform, and the people who are able to do it beautifully. i want to stand up for that. >> and for the record, sarah lane says natalie portman deserves that oscar. that her acting was first-rate.

but as one person in the dance world said, natalie portman is an artist of the highest caliber in drama. sarah lane is an artist at the highest caliber in ballet. they say it was unfair and unseemly to denigrate sarah's contribution. as she put it, i put 22 years in blood, sweat and tears into those moves. to say that natalie portman did them after just a year and a half of training, she found insulting. >> and i was surprised. we talked about this off-camera. she didn't get a credit after the movie? >> she did not. she got a credit as a hand double. as lady in the lane, and six stunt doubles. >> do you normally get a credit? >> she didn't have a representative. the contract she signed said it was the producers' prerogative. according to her. she was well compensated to do the dancing. but it was not part of the guarantee. the point is -- is it a sleight of hand? is it deception to never reveal

there was a dance double? to never acknowledge that person in any of the glowing speeches? >> that's a tough one. i don't know if it takes away from natalie's performance. >> does the audience really believe that natalie's doing that dancing? and the answer is, largely, yes. most people asked thought she did do all the dancing. >> thank you. and the full report is going to be on "20/20" tonight. >> you can tell we can't wait. time, now, for the weather. lee goldberg from wabc in for sam. >> george, we're going to start out with spring snows again. this picture's from denver right now. the roads get slushy. the sun is strong this time of year. it's tough to stick. people doing the spring thing, riding the bikes. a few inches. and off to the east, the snows intensify. blizzard conditions in parts of nebraska and kansas and into the dakotas. we have watches and warnings to the north. six inches of snow. could go up to 12. we have severe weather in tennessee and mississippi.

it's a medical thing. there's bacteria that gets pumped into the bloodstream. it weakens the immune system. and it can affect the heart. as you mention in the intro, if they have good oral health, they're going to live two years longer. it's really important. and when you have a pet, the first thing is to get an exam from a veterinarian. no amount of preventive care is going to take care of an infected tooth. i tell my clients, hurts like a tooth ache, hurts like a hangnail. it causes problems. >> blue is 15, from the humane society of new york. give us some oopgs options here. >> you want to do daily oral care. that's the key. and they break it into three categories of a good job at cleaning the teeth, a better job of cleaning the teeth and the

best job of cleaning the teeth. a good job, everybody can do this. there's diets that are dental scrubbing diets. there's treats you can give, that are edible tooth bush. and you have a rinse you can put in the walter. >> these are good options. these are better ones? >> those take take of the tendency to chew. here, you have a spray on there. dental wipes you can use to wipe down the gums. and oravet prevents the plaque and tarter from attracting on the teeth. >> the best is to have a physical action of cleaning. there's finger brushes for the end of your finger. the key is, the toothpaste is meant to be swallowed. >> he's almost 14.

and the last visit, they said i needed to start brushing her teeth, which i started to do. and it's not the easiest thing, as you see right there. i didn't know if i was doing it the right way. i know you're going to teach us how to do it. george is here. >> this is blue's brother. >> i need to give you an "a" for that. that looked really good. >> really? >> i have amber here. never had her teeth brushed. if you have small dogs, do it on a counter at home. you want to put your finger in their mouth. and get them used to touching the inside of their mouth. you're a good dog. you're a good dog. then, you let them sniff the dental thing they're going to use. a good time to do this is after they've eaten or walked. little nervous here. you want to start a little bit at a time.

open their mouth up here. come here, amber. and start brushing. you don't have to brush the front teeth. just the side teeth. come on, amber. we're all having trouble here. >> come on. >> everybody's getting excited. there we go. oh, that's -- that's a good dog. did you have any luck at all? what you do is go along the side right here. open the teeth up. there you go. just grab right there. open up, blue. >> there you go. >> just a little bit here. there we go. that's an edible toothbrush. poultry flavor. the key is to make it pleasant for you and your pet. after a few days, they will love it and actually like it. >> it can add two years to their lives. >> it's important. >> congratulations on the book,

marty. >> thank you. >> we need to wash our hands, george. amber, blizzard and little blue came to us from the humane society from new york. you can learn how to a i dopt one of them on our website, abcnews.com/g abcnews.com/gma. we're going to get out and cook with emeril, right after .
