impressive moves. and good morning, everyone. we begin with breaking news involving international intrigue and an american fugitive on the run. edward snowden, the man who told the world about the federal government's sweeping top secret domestic spying program, is on the move as we speak this morning. >> officials in hong kong say snowden who's charged with espionage by the u.s. government boarded a plane overnight and will soon land in russia, and this group, wikileaks claims to be helping him get away. we will speak to george stephanopoulos in a moment. but we begin with gloria riviera in hong kong. gloria, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. dan. it's been a stunning turn of events today. edward snowden, the man wanted on charges of espionage,
7:02 am
manages to sneak out of the country. it was just after 4:00 p.m. when the hong kong government released a statement saying he left the country of his own accord. and what was a blow to the u.s. government, saying the u.s. failed to provide sufficient information, meaning hong kong could not legally arrest him and there were no legal restrictions for him to leave hong kong. reports are he boarded a flight to moscow, due to land in a few hours. later a tweet from wikileaks saying he's traveling with their legal advisers. the question is where is he headed? abc news has learned mr. snowden is booked on a flight from moscow to cuba but there's no guarantee he'll get on it, or the final destination, venezuela, ecuador, iceland have been floated as options. they don't have an extradition agreement with the u.s. or it's shaky. what about the information on
7:03 am
the nsa he brought into hong kong? how much was he able to take with him when he left. dan, bianna? >> and now to george stephanopoulos, because so many people are wondering what does this do to u.s.-china relations, if in fact he is going to russia now. >> hong kong, is something. the united states would fully comply with the extradition request. pretty serious charge right there. one of the things we're doing is getting to the justice department, find out if they believe a mistake was made, or china playing games. no question, this is going to complicate the united states-china relationship. remember, just over a week ago, president obama met with president xi in palm springs, the chinese leader, trying to reset the united states relationship with china. cyber warfare right at the top, cyber espionage right at the top of u.s.-china relations. if indeed china is not cooperating, that's a big blow.
7:04 am
>> and raises questions about the relationship with russia. because we're hearing this morning he could be booked on a flight to cuba and then to venezuela. is there any pressure the united states can bring to bear on the russians with whom we have an icy relationship to stop him from carrying out this itinerary? >> we're running it down. but apparently, there's nothing the united states can do as long as he remains in the airport if he land in moscow in transit to cuba. apparently he's booked on a 2:00 p.m. flight tomorrow to cuba. and then reports he would go to venezuela. if he stays in the airport, there's nothing legally the united states can do. >> and what perfect timing for you. you'll be sitting down with the head of the nsa, general alexander this morning. so many questions, people are wondering how was this man able to outmaneuver the united states, the top spy agency in the world, not once, but twice. we can't even locate him? >> that's a big question. he was accessing all of this information from hawaii, and the alarm bells didn't go off in a way that he could be stopped before he slipped out of the
7:05 am
country into hong kong. and now on his way to moscow. big questions. general alexander has never given a sunday interview, no head of the nsa has. it couldn't happen at a more important time. >> thank you very much. and as george said, a big timely interview this morning this morning with general keith alexander, the director of the nsa. that's later this morning, this week with george stephanopoulos. thank you once again. and we move on now, she was a mother of two, a budget analyst for the federal government and a flying daredevil. her name, jane wicker. she was a veteran at wing walking, doing stunts on the outside of a plane. but this weekend at an air show in ohio, a mysterious and public crash. we warn you, the video you are about to see is disturbing. and abc's reena ninan is on the scene in dayton. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. it's a long-standing tradition, whenever someone is killed, they honor them by continuing on the next day with the show. there will be a moment of silence for the pilot and the 44-year-old woman who said she
7:06 am
was well aware of the risks she was taking. this morning, we're learning more about the acrobatic daredevil who lost her life in this dramatic air show crash captured on video. jane wicker dedicated her life to the skies. a mother, fiance and pilot with 20 years experience. she can be seen on the website for the stunt group she founded, performing one of her most famous maneuvers. the same one she was attempting just moments before the fatal crash. >> we heard that horrible noise, and then boom. >> it was shocking. we came early to catch a closer look, and we never thought we would witness this. >> pilot charlie schwenker, a 35-year veteran was killed in the crash. friends say the duo loved to fly and shared that love with others. >> absolutely fabulous people. i was amazed about how much trust both of them had in each other.
7:07 am
>> reporter: wicker was one of the sport's most well-known figures. featured in documentaries for the history channel and tlc. >> watch this, jane wicker, sitting on top of the world. >> reporter: at this ohio air show on saturday, in front of a crowd of excited fans, wicker's final performance took a tragic turn. >> this is a tragedy for what's a very small community. and our thoughts and prayers go out to those two individuals and their families. >> reporter: aviation experts say the crash could have been so much worse, but thankfully it occurred away from the thousands of spectators watching. ntsb officials have arrived to begin investigating. bianna. >> all right, reena, thanks to you. a bombshell on the eve of the racially and emotionally charged murder trial of george zimmerman. a big win for the defendant even before tomorrow's opening statements. a judge ruling audio experts
7:08 am
can't testify about the most dramatic evidence in the case, a 911 recording of the deadly encounter with trayvon martin. here's abc's gio benitez with the story. >> good morning. this is how the defense team wants it. the state's audio experts say it's martin's voice on the tape. the defense says it's zimmerman. now jurors will have to decide for themselves. this morning, prosecutors charging george zimmerman with second degree murder may have a harder time proving who's screaming for help in the 911 call. does zimmerman fear for his life and kill trayvon martin in self-defense? or was that martin's voice? the prosecution's voice experts say it's the 17-year-old. but zimmerman's defense team has challenged the science. now so has the judge, writing in a ruling there is no evidence to establish that their scientific techniques have been tested and found reliable. >> the fact that the prosecution
7:09 am
cannot present the voice recognition experts in the trial is a victory for the defense. because the judge is now allowing those jurors to listen to the tape and decide who they believe the individual screaming out for help is. >> reporter: even though the two sides have battled it out in court -- >> not unusual for scientists to have different views. >> sorry, i don't follow the difference. >> reporter: the tail of the tape has been a complicated one to tell. >> the pivotal evidence is who the aggressor was on that fateful night. and that 911 tape tells the story. >> reporter: analyzing the tape is no easy feat, and some suggest, even impossible. a voice analyst said he couldn't be sure whose voice is on the tape, because the recording isn't clear enough. >> there are standards for voice identification that this case doesn't match. >> reporter: and even though the
7:10 am
state's audio experts can't weigh in, there's no doubt that 911 call will be a central piece of evidence in the trial. and that begins tomorrow with the opening statements. >> a big win for the defense. and as you said, opening statements tomorrow. we'll be all over the story. gio, thank you. meanwhile, there is a fierce battle in colorado. a dramatic stand against wildfires spreading across the state, forcing evacuations, including in the tiny town of south fork. which has served as a backdrop for big movies like "national lampoon's vacation" and "the lone ranger." clayton sandell is right there this morning. >> reporter: overnight, fire fighters called in new reinforcements from the u.s. military. today, two planes like these from the california air national guard will swoop into the smokey skies. the planes churn out 3,000 gallons of water or fire retardant in five seconds. they'll help knock down the worst of a dozen blazes that have torched more than 133 square miles of colorado mountains. the entire town of south fork, 400 residents, are still evacuated. flames are moving closer, but so
7:11 am
far, every home has been spared. >> the fire pretty much made a turn. it would not burn in the aspen. that's a lot of what's over by south fork. >> reporter: fires are also burning in new mexico and arizona. residents near prescott got news they could go home. >> i really didn't expect it. i thought they were going to wait until the wind died down a little bit. >> reporter: but in colorado, as long as the forecast calls for hot, dry weather, nobody is going home yet. for "good morning america," clayton sandell, abc news, denver. >> our thanks to clayton. back to gio for the news this morning. he's in for ron. great to see you. >> great to be here. great to be here, thanks so much. and we begin with the on going investigation into patriots' tight end aaron hernandez. state police officers and investigators spent hours inside his home saturday. hernandez is being investigated following the mysterious shooting death of his friend, oden lloyd. lloyd's body was found in a land fill just a mile from
7:12 am
hernandez's home. a crash at a world-famous 24 hour race has killed an experienced driver. 34-year-old allen simonson died when his car crashed into the wall at the start of the le mans race, just ten minutes in. he was a member of the aston martin racing team. this is the 90th anniversary of that race. and this morning, a little girl at the center of an organ transplant controversy is out of a coma and responsive. sara monaghan, a 10-year-old with cystic fibrosis, had a double lung surgery earlier this month. she gained national attention with just weeks left to live, her family fought to get her on the adult transplant list. and take a look at this, emergency crews called in after a giant sink hole opened up in the ground in minneapolis. the hole is so wide, it took out half the road. it's 20-feet deep and created by a water main break. it could take two weeks before
7:13 am
that sink hole is filled. and finally, it was probably not the kind of thrill roller coaster riders were expecting. check this out, 11 people were stranded hanging straight up in the air when a ride at an amusement park in china got stuck. it just started and was 90 feet in the air when it stopped. it took emergency crews two hours to get everyone down. i love roller coaster rides. i'm not sure i would be able to do that. i would freak out. >> let's hope the riders weren't just full off of hot dogs -- >> right. you don't want to be one car below from the guy who's got the hot dog indigestion. in that situation. >> that conversation is going in another direction. at least they weren't upside down. >> thank you very much. i do not like roller coasters. but we have an inhouse daredevil. her name is ginger zee and she's here with the forecast this morning. >> good morning.
7:14 am
upside down and waiting in line for a long time, you have to go to the bathroom. that's what i thought. i don't know. you're welcome. let's talk about the super moon. we asked you for pictures of the closest and fullest moon. a lot of astronomers get down on us, say we pay too much attention to the full moon. isn't it beautiful? look at it. this beautiful shot from sacramento, california, a plane going across the super moon. from pennsylvania, and upstate, rochester, new york, and very own john, our new ep, executive producer from his apartment in new york city caught the super moon. thank you for all the photos. please keep sending them in. nice apartment. right. that was gio, i didn't say that. in new orleans, there's video from the super moon. he is actually looking at the sunset, turned around and actually saw the moon that had risen. so really great shots. of course, it's not all all good news. i just can't keep smiling in the broadcast. some bad news, severe weather. more on the way today.
7:15 am
first, i want to show you what happened yesterday. there were certainly more than 100 severe weather reports. some tornadic. this one in nebraska. we've got the video for you. it almost looks transparent in the middle, land spoutish. but low precipitation. if we call it that. great video, no one was hurt. today, here are the areas on alert for isolated tornados, damaging winds and the isolated hail. minneapolis. green bay right on the edge there. des moines, omaha, kansas city, all the way back to denver. it's the same area that gets hit over and over. and it's not just severe weather but way too much rain. look at all the rain that fell in southwestern wisconsin. they are dealing with major flooding. almost a foot over the beginning of the weekend. i've got bad news. because there's more on the way. in the purple area, 1 to 2 inch range. this is the next 24 hours. a bull's-eye in just north of des moines here, iowa. anywhere in the northern plains and upper midwest has to look out for all that rain. it's beneficial in parts of northern california, abnormal
7:16 am
for this time of year. there in reading, down san francisco, you'll get a little bit. tat'sthe big cturf1 oha areg that's thg picture. let's check closer to hom. sun pillar. i've got something to teach you guys. ready? sun pillar. you can kind of see -- it's straight up. it's a faint one, beautiful shots. thank you for sending that in. and the end of a rainbow. who ever gets to see that? but in west virginia they did. very faint. but no pot of gold, unfortunately.
7:17 am
send me your photos @ginger_zee. keep looking for the super moon, if you didn't see it last night, tonight, it will be pretty similar. >> john invited us over for a viewing party. we'll be there. >> kegger. appreciate it. all right. summer is here. and we who have been hibernating are getting off the couch and out in the sun for outdoor exercise. this is a good thing, of course. but for those of us of a certain age, there is a risk of injury. and this morning, word of an experimental but promising fix. tonya rivero is here with the details. >> professional athletes have been using stem cells to treat injuries for years. now the procedures are becoming more widely available to the average joe athlete can reap the benefits as well. ah, yes, summer, when working out and looking fit is at the top of everyone's agenda. pushing weekend warriors to play hard, and sometimes fall even
7:18 am
harder. >> weekend warrior injuries are basically people overdoing. >> reporter: fear not, athletic aficionados, a new procedure could relieve the sports injuries in under half an hour. it's called a b-mac. a bone marrow aspirate concentrate, essentially using your own stem cells to ease the pain. >> stem cells are cellular therapy, as we call it. it's a strong anti-inflammatory. >> reporter: eli lifted weights for more than 12 years. but at 35, the pain got to be too much and he started searching for solutions. >> i think you always try to find the easiest way out. acupuncture, massage, icing it, heat. >> reporter: but nothing worked. until he met dr. raj. here is how a b-mac works. fluid is taken from the bone marrow of a patient's pelvis, then 15 minutes later, stem cells are separated and injected back into the joint where the pain exists.
7:19 am
>> this in itself is really a non-invasive procedure that can be done in a quick setting with almost immediate results. >> reporter: eli says he felt the difference right away. and now two months later, he is back working out and lifting weights as if he didn't have the pain at all. >> i was stiff for about two days and i decided to go back in the gym and feel it out. within two days, i was stronger than in a dozen years. >> reporter: it is still the subject of ongoing clinical trials and results are needed from a larger study before it's universally accepted. still, initial results of earl studies have shown promise. dan and bianna? >> so if i get that shot, my arms will look like that guy? >> go for it. >> love to see you in a muscle t. >> i'm going to take next weekend off. i will be back, and wearing gio benitez's suit. how do you like that? >> that's really out of the shape. >> that's what i want to see. >> gio is over there, he's glaring at me. >> as you can tell, dan's a bit
7:20 am
jealous. >> yes, slightly. >> you're in great shape. all right. now to the dueling divas of the tennis world. serena williams and maria sharapova. the top stars in women's tennis may duke it out on the court but they're already serving up a war of words off the court, and it's getting personal. jeff fi coffman has the story. good morning. >> reporter: and good morning to you. it sure is. the matches haven't begun, but they're already at it. these two super stars have their claws out in what is a nasty off-court cat fight. if this is sport, it's more like boxing than tennis. this corner, super star serena williams, and in this corner, top player maria sharapova throwing a right punch. >> definitely a little bit sad to hear about what she said about the case. >> in a pre-tournament press
7:21 am
conference, sharapova called out williams about the recent comments about the steubenville rape case in which a 16-year-old girl was raped and two teenagers were sent to jail. in a "rolling stone" interview, williams implied that the 16-year-old victim put herself in that position, saying your parents should teach you, don't take drinks from other people. williams has since apologized but the volleys get really nasty when they talk about love lives. williams on sharapova. if she wants to be with a guy with a black heart, go for it. nasty and confusing. sharapova's current boyfriend was rumored to be romantically linked to williams last year. sharapova, your serve. >> she wants to talk about something personal, her relationship and her boyfriend married and getting a divorce and has kids. >> reporter: ouch. a jab at williams and her rumored relationship with her coach. at a news conference this
7:22 am
morning in london, williams took a very different tone, extending an olive branch to her opponent. >> i personally talked to maria at the player party, and said i want to personally apologize to you. >> reporter: now on court, it's clear who the winner is, and the the last 12 times they have met, williams has beaten sharapova. if they do face each other here, at wimbledon, you can be sure it will be a match not to be missed. >> that net may come in handy for the two of them. jeffrey, thank you. coming up on "gma," the tennis showdown of a different variety. why two male stars suddenly turned their match into a strip show. >> i don't know what that sound was. also ahead, the facebook photo fight. a teenager suing for millions because of this picture of her in a bikini. wait until you find out who used the photo and why it made her so mad. and surf dogs, on a much

so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.
