7:00 am
developments. good morning, lama. >> reporter: good morning to you, bianna. well, the u.s. consulate has confirmed to abc news that no deaths have been reported. all the passengers and crew on board survived this plane crash. officials say at least 20 passengers were taken to a local hospital with head wounds and broken bones, minor injuries. here's what happened. a lion airplane, indonesia's largest privately run airline, carrying at least 100 people on board flying the 1 1/2-hour flight from the indonesian city of bandung heading to the popular vacation island of bali, as it was coming in to land, it overran the runway ditching straight into the sea. you can see from the pictures the plane has a large crack in its body probably from the impact, but what caused the plane to skid off the runway is still unclear. the one saving grace is that it happened so close to the airport that emergency services were able to get to the passengers quickly. but, you know, it's not uncommon to survive plane crashes.
7:01 am
one statistic to bear in mind, and this is according to the u.s. government, is that 95% of passengers in plane accidents actually escape. they make it out alive. dan? >> that's a fascinating statistic. a lot of people don't know that. lama hasan reporting from london this morning. thank you. we do have some bad news this morning involving that new strain of bird flu. it's already killed 11 people in eastern china, but overnight the virus made a big and dangerous leap infecting a 7-year-old girl hundreds of miles away from the initial hot zone. abc's chief health and medical editor, the former director of the cdc, dr. richard besser, live in hong kong this morning. dr. besser, tell us about this fresh case and why it worries you so much. >> right, dan, so this is a 7-year-old girl. she was hospitalized in beijing with severe pneumonia. her parents both worked in the live chicken business. but what concerns me is what you showed on that map, the distance between shanghai and beijing. this virus was able to travel
7:02 am
that distance without leaving a trail of dead birds. most bird flu strains kill birds, as well, and what this says is that china is going to need to be doing a lot of screening of healthy birds if they're going to learn the extent of which this virus is spreading around the country. >> you know, when you were at the cdc, you tracked other outbreaks, in particular the swine flu. how worried are you about this one? >> oh, you know, whenever there's an outbreak of a new infectious agent like this, you often -- you don't know whether it's going to peter out or grow into something big, but you often only get one chance to try and knock it down. there's some very worrisome things about this virus. it causes severe disease, and we don't have immunity to it. what it takes to become a pandemic is for it to easily spread person to person. what i hear in talking to virologists, there are changes in this virus which makes them think it's on its way to being able to do it. so you want to be aggressive.
7:03 am
i'm seeing a lot of aggressive action in the united states towards making a vaccine and diagnostic kit. i want to see what they're doing in china to be equally aggressive. >> that is really not what you want to hear, mutating it in a way that would allow it to be transferred from person to person. dr. besser live in hong kong on the front lines of this outbreak. thank you, doctor. we'll be back with you tomorrow morning for sure. a lot of other news breaking overnight, and for that, as always, we go back to mr. ron claiborne back with us on the news deck for the first time in a couple weeks. >> i feel like i've come home. >> welcome back. >> i feel like i'm back with my family. >> you are home. >> and ginger over there, too. hey, ginger. >> hey. >> hi. good morning, everyone. the fbi says it is leaving no stone unturned in its investigation of the murder of two texas prosecutors. investigators searched the home of former kaufman county justice of peace eric williams. that was on friday. he had previously been questioned in the murders of district attorney mike mclelland and prosecutor mark hasse. mclelland and hasse prosecuted williams last year for stealing computer monitors from the county.
7:04 am
and taxpayers will be left footing the bill for the costly rescue of a crippled carnival cruise line ship back in february. the company indicated that it would not reimburse the government the nearly $800,000 it cost to rescue the "triumph." in response to a letter from west virginia senator jay rockefeller, carnival said it is maritime tradition to assist those in trouble at sea. and the president and first lady released their tax returns for 2012. they did so on friday, three days before the filing deadline. they paid $112,000 in federal taxes on earnings of $608,000. that's just over 18%. the number of that would rise actually for taxpayers in their income bracket under the president's own budget proposal. the first family gave $150,000 to 33 charities. and major league baseball has handed out suspensions for that nasty brawl that occurred thursday night. san diego padres slugger carlos quentin will now miss eight games, eight games for charging the mound after he was hit by a pitch by dodgers pitcher zack greinke.
7:05 am
greinke was not suspended, but he will miss eight weeks with a broken collarbone. another dodger player was suspended one game for his role in the fight. and finally, if you are sick of wintry weather halfway through april -- i know you guys are -- well, you're not alone. one family in wisconsin -- check this out -- turned their christmas lights back on because of the snow. they say the lights will go back off, they'll turn them off once this weather is behind them, if it ever occurs. ginger may have some insight into that. i don't know. >> and one week from today they're actually going to have a new year's party. >> fourth of july with the christmas lights. >> almost have my christmas tree up a year. >> you did. >> i did. it was not a protest. it was just -- >> you were just lazy. >> it got pretty dry too. >> i can imagine. >> yeah. >> well, good, actually. we're calling the fire marshal on ron claiborne this morning. >> thank you, dan. i appreciate that. >> yes. >> all right, ron, thank you. well, we're going to turn now to the latest on the rising tensions in north korea. the president's top diplomat, secretary of state john kerry,
7:06 am
on a critical mission to the region this morning warning the rogue nation's leader kim jong-un not to test-fire a midrange missile. abc's bob woodruff is in seoul, south korea, with the latest. bob? >> reporter: good morning, bianna. you know, secretary of state john kerry arrived in china today. this is his second stop in this asian tour to try to deal with this unrelenting concern about north korea's nuclear arsonal. while china is quietly pressuring kim jong-un to resist launching any missiles, in south korea the u.s. made it very clear. >> the united states will, if needed, defend our allies and defend ourselves. >> reporter: in japan an official today warned that a missile was launched. what he meant to say was an earthquake. he accidentally sent out the wrong draft. the third time this happened this week alone. this week's u.s. intelligence report which was accidentally leaked to the public suggested for the first time that with "moderate confidence the north is capable of delivering a
7:07 am
nuclear weapon on a ballistic missile." while there is no evidence that the missiles currently in position to launch involve a nuclear weapon, the report is raising questions. could the u.s. stop a nuclear missile before it strikes? the answer, analysts say, is yes. with a system of satellites and radars, dozens of intercepters would be fired striking the missile as it traveled in space breaking up the nuclear material before it ever enters the atmosphere. despite the possibility of war, no real fear on the streets in either country. in the north, a flower exhibit honoring monday's 101st birthday of the nation's founder, kim il-sung. here in seoul, the superstar psy got the stadium packed, a welcome release of his new album. upside, we learned even our cameraman's 2-year-old daughter is a huge psy fan. ♪ ooh ooh ooh
7:08 am
>> reporter: now, dan and bianna, you can actually see the stadium right here. i guess every once in a while in this story we like to have a chance to get out for a little entertainment. >> the cameraman's daughter moves. >> she does have moves. >> back at home he is, it's safe to say, one of the most colorful figures in american life. joe arpaio, sometimes called america's toughest sheriff. he's a former reality star and a guy who once forced inmates to wear pink underwear quite famously and this morning, investigators are trying to figure out who may have tried to kill the sheriff. abc's john schriffen on the story. good morning. >> dan, good morning to you. he is one of the most controversial law enforcement figures in the country known for his firm stance on illegal immigration, and now he's become the latest victim in a scary trend of public officials being targeted. >> i am not going to be intimidated by anyone. >> reporter: he's tough. he's brash, and he doesn't back down from a fight. >> i'm going to continue being the sheriff for many more years, and i will continue to do what i've been doing. >> reporter: that's arizona's controversial sheriff, joe arpaio, this morning still
7:09 am
standing tall after his chief deputy says the sheriff could have been killed by a mail bomb. >> it would have caused a major explosion and caused serious physical injury, burns and maybe death. >> reporter: a postal worker intercepted a package addressed to arpaio alerted by the excessive amount of postage, a postal red flag. the package started leaking powder, and x-rays showed inside a container of gunpowder attached to wires and batteries. >> i've had many, many threats from the cartels of mexico and so on, but the timing seemed very suspicious. >> reporter: suspicious, he says, because a fear that law enforcement officials across the country may be being targeted. arpaio says he's not sure if there's a connection. but while recovering from a broken shoulder, he'll be more careful with care packages. >> usually we have cookies and flowers and that type of thing that come to my desk. i think i'd better be a little more careful because i don't
7:10 am
want a bomb instead of a cookie. >> arpaio says the fbi is on the case and has a few leads as to who could be responsible. now, as for his family, he admits his wife of 57 years, his kids and grandchildren are pretty concerned, but he says they support him and know he will not back down. instead, dan and bianna, he's going to fight even harder. >> remains defiant, all right, john, thank you. >> thanks, john. now to the latest on the battle over gun control in washington. this morning a mother who lost her child in the newtown school shooting stepping in for president obama delivering his weekly radio and internet address to the nation. this as republicans and democrats brace for one of the most heated gun control debates in decades. abc's jeff zeleny is in washington with more. good morning, jeff. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. the debate over gun control is a deeply personal one, and the white house is hoping that the power of one family's story will help keep the momentum alive until next week when the senate begins its debate. this morning, americans expecting to hear president obama's weekly address instead heard this voice.
7:11 am
>> as you've probably noticed, i'm not the president. >> reporter: that's francine wheeler. >> we have to convince the senate to come together and pass commonsense gun responsibility reforms. >> reporter: taking her very snoof personal case from gun control from the halls of congress to the hearts and minds of americans. >> our younger son ben, age 6, was murdered in his first grade classroom on december 14th, exactly four months ago this weekend. >> reporter: to keep momentum alive for its gun bill, the white house asked wheeler and her husband to share ben's story. >> ben's love of fun and his excitement at the wonders of life were unmatched. >> reporter: when we caught up with the piano teacher and her husband earlier this week going door to door on capitol hill, they feared the senate would not act on a gun bill. but this morning both sides are bracing for the biggest congressional gun control debate in two decades. >> please help us do something. >> reporter: even critics who are still pushing hard against
7:12 am
the legislation say the efforts of the wheelers and other families are making a difference. >> i think there's been some impact. it's a very emotional issue. there are also parents of some of those victims who don't agree with a call for more gun control. >> reporter: francine wheeler knows the road ahead is long next week in the senate and beyond. >> they haven't yet passed any bills that will help keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, and a lot of people are fighting to make sure they never do. >> reporter: but, she says, the memory of her son will not let her give up. >> i feel ben's presence filling me with courage for what i have to do. >> reporter: when i spent time on capitol hill earlier this week with francine and david wheeler, it was clear how difficult it was for them to tell their story, but they said this is something that they had to do. they know that this bill is just the beginning, but this morning senate aides tell me that the bill next week also could include a mental health component.
7:13 am
that's something the wheelers and other families think is critical. dan and bianna. >> thrust into the spotlight in such a difficult way. jeff zeleny, thank you for your reporting this morning. we're going to switch gears now and check the national forecast. ginger zee is here with that. hey, ginger. >> good morning, guys. you know you're in michigan when a spring carnival looks like this, frozen in time. i want to start with it. they couldn't get it going. it's actually really close to green bay, wisconsin. that's why i said that down there. but they couldn't really get the spring carnival going, and they're not going to have a whole lot of better weather headed their way. let me show you what happens here this weekend, mountain snows and rains in the pacific northwest will then move this low pressure system over the northern plains and eventually northern minnesota and wisconsin. that's right. the people with their lights up, ron, they're going to want to go ahead and keep those up. for a little bit. the joke is still on. spring not coming to the northern plains or northern great lakes and neither is it in parts of new england here this weekend. here's what's going to happen snowwise. we'll actually see locally a foot or more in some places. bismarck is in that 6 to 12-inch range. minneapolis even getting a touch.
7:14 am
i know a lot of folks are sick of it, so take a trip maybe to the southwest, because that's where you'll get 89 in phoenix today. 86, las vegas. midland, texas, at 76 and houston will make it to 77 along with dallas. i'll leave you with a look here across the nation. >> you can find me on twitter at ginger_zee. and send me photos like this one because it helps me warm up. this one from florida, new smyrna beach.
7:15 am
really, really pretty pic here. i love the pastel colors. thanks for sending that in and not so much in new hampshire. that's what they were dealing with on the roads yesterday. things will start to improve through the weekend for parts of new england. dan and bianna. >> you promise? >> i promise. i don't promise spring or summer until really like june. >> but for the next day or two. guaranteed. all right, ginger, thanks. and now we want to celebrate the life of a comic legend. jonathan winters passed away at the age of 87 on friday. the groundbreaking actor inspired a generation of some of the greatest comics of our time. his "mork and mindy" co-star robin williams tweeting friday that he'll miss his, quote, comedy buddha." abc's chris connelly has a look back at winters' remarkable career. >> reporter: in his prime, no one could be funnier faster than jonathan winters. >> did you ever undress in front of a dog? >> reporter: his quick silver mind conjuring up characters and laugh lines like that. >> i come out of the shower and here was my dog just -- >> reporter: in live shows on
7:16 am
his comedy albums and on television. >> well, what's your pleasure? >> well, if i told you that, we'd be off the air. >> reporter: from the elderly maude frickert to garbage man in these tv ads. >> i'm in garbage or garbage, as they say. >> reporter: he was revered by his fellow performers who honored them in his tweets. rosie o'donnell and albert brooks both using the word "genius" and steve carell calling him "wildly funny." born in ohio, winters was a machine gunner in world war ii, and his comedy could be like that too, rapid-fire. he could tear it up on the big screen laying waste to this gas station in the 1963 ensemble comedy "it's a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world." >> he's going down. >> reporter: he had a few tv shows of his own during the '60s. he was a seminal influence on robin williams' work appearing in the '80s on "mork and mindy,"
7:17 am
but many baby boomers knew him best as one of the funniest talk show guests of his era able to make any host helpless with laughter. in later years, winters brought his skills to the occasional guest spot and to animated projects. in 1999 he was awarded the mark twain prize for american humor, a fitting tribute for a comedy legend. jonathan winters died on friday in montecito, california. he was 87 years old. >> such a funny man. >> really funny guy, even just to look at him. his face was funny. now to the young phenom who is taking the masters to storm and forcing a lot of us to think about what we were doing when we were 14. i was skipping math class. >> i was having my braces removed, but this guy, the eighth grader, is playing the course at augusta like an old pro, even stealing some of tiger's thunder on the sport's most storied stage. abc's rob nelson has the story with this guy making history. good morning, rob.
7:18 am
>> reporter: good morning, guys. of course, when the masters got started this year, all of the hype, all of the buzz was about tiger woods, as you said, his big comeback, his resurgence, but as this tournament moves forward here, the real buzz has nothing to do with the tiger but rather a cub. >> amazing. >> reporter: it was a moment that almost didn't happen. up until friday afternoon, the only number that seemed to matter about golf prodigy tianlang guan was his age, 14, which has made him the youngest ever to tee off at the masters. >> it's rainy, and the winds blow hard, but unfortunately it's my second best time. >> reporter: it was a different number, 1, that almost stole his spotlight in augusta. that's the stroke penalty the teenager from china unexpectedly faced yesterday for playing too slowly between shots. >> i'm sick. i'm sick for him. he's 14 years old. when you get the wind blowing out here, believe me, you're going to change your mind a lot. >> reporter: the penalty had
7:19 am
threatened guan's chances of advancing in the tournament and could have created quite a controversy for the storied masters. >> it's the masters, the masters competition. >> i respect their decision. >> reporter: the penalty might be up for debate, but the discipline, focus and raw talent of golf's latest phenom most certainly are not. at 5'8", 140 pounds, guan has played in more than 200 tournaments. he started hitting balls at age 4, and by 5 he was watching the masters. he's the youngest player in any major tournament in 148 years. it's all just a tad reminiscent of another golf legend at the masters this weekend who was seemingly born with a club in his hand, as well. >> that's still a great experience for me, and i enjoyed this week so far, and i think i did a pretty good job. >> reporter: not a bad life for a 14-year-old who should be in an eighth grade classroom right now but is instead at the
7:20 am
masters keeping par with legends and quickly becoming one himself. yeah, the interesting thing here of course is that guan may be an emerging legend, but he's also still a 14-year-old kid. take this, for example, his mom actually packed him a lunch bag for the first day of the tournament and in that bag a few juice boxes. >> of course, for a teenager. give you an idea of how amazing the story is, ron was in awe. >> yeah, the guy's form is unbelievable for 14 or for 44 for that matter. better than me. >> all right, thanks, ron. coming up here on the broadcast, check out this astonishing scene caught on camera in a 7-eleven parking lot. the car on fire, the man inside and this morning the story behind the person who police say did it. also, inside the horrifying moments at a college in virginia. what the 18-year-old gunman is believed to have said on the internet just minutes before opening fire. plus, barbie getting a little bit of a makeover. the world's most famous doll like you've never seen her before.
