of good versus evil. this morning, president trump meeting with one leader after the next. egypt's president laying on the praise, saying president trump has a unique personality that is capable of doing the impossible. it prompted laughter in the room. and the president's response? >> i agree. [ laughter ] >> reporter: with all the controversy back at home, president trump looking glad to be so far away. ♪ doing a traditional saudi dance typically a symbol of peace after a hard-fought war. ♪ and the men fighting with him in that battle back in washington? secretary of state rex tillerson and commerce secretary wilbur ross, right here, too, dancing with swords. but it was down to business. the president cutting a ten-year, $350 billion arms deal with the saudis. >> that was a tremendous day. i just want to thank everybody. but tremendous investments into the united states. and our military community is very happy.

>> reporter: the centerpiece of the trip comes later this morning. a speech to the muslim world on extremism. president trump expected to use a softer tone on islam than his campaign trail rhetoric. >> i think islam hates us. >> reporter: not likely to be a focus of that speech? human rights. as a woman here in saudi arabia, i wouldn't even be allowed to go into this door at a mcdonald's. i would have to go through this side that says family section. completely segregated. there's a wall here that keeps the women separate from the men. while the president was in town, country star toby keith holding a free concert here. american flags lining the stage. in the audience? men only. women? not allowed. now, human rights groups rank saudi arabia among the ten least free countries in the world. women here are denied such basic rights as driving a car. while the trump white house says it does not want to lecture countries about human rights,

ivanka trump is here attending a forum on women's issues. she said that while there has been progress in this country, there is still much work to be done. dan and paula? >> cecilia, thank you. cecilia vega leading us off this morning. let's bring in abc's jon karl who is also traveling with the president. john, good morning. considering the type of rhetoric we heard from then-candidate trump during the campaign are you surprised by the warm welcome he's receiving? as he arrives there in the heart of the muslim world? >> reporter: well, it is something else to see him welcomed in the muslim world the way he has been by islamic leaders from all around the world. not just saudi arabia. it's surprising the president chose the birthplace of islam to be the place he would visit the very first foreign country as president. but in a sense, it's not surprising. if you look at what the saudis are -- their relations to the united states. they were very upset with the obama administration, especially for obama as what they saw, his

embrace of iran. the iran nuclear deal. they see donald trump as someone who will be much tougher on their enemy. the nation of iran, and somebody who won't lecture them on human rights, so they -- despite that anti-islamic rhetoric we heard from trump during the campaign, they actually welcome his policies as president. >> the next stop for trump, prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying the citizens of israel will receive trump with open arms. so what are the prospects for restarting the peace talks when he travels to israel? >> reporter: well, it's a very, very steep climb. but he is going to be meeting with the leaders -- the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas as well. the way the administration sees this, this moment in the arab world with the arab world -- so much of the arab world united against the threat of iran. what the white house hopes, the foreign policy advisers hope is that this will mean more support for the israeli-palestinian peace talks from the arabs.

because now israel is not the common enemy. it's iran. they hope that can be used as a way to restart these peace talks. obviously, it's a very steep climb. >> all right, jon karl. thank you. safe travels to you as well. we want to bring in our chief anchor george stephanopoulos. who will be hosting "this week" later this morning. george, good morning to you. >> good morning, guys. >> we know you have a big interview with the president's national security adviser, general h.r. mcmaster. we have a clip where you ask him about the reports of what the president said to top russian officials in the oval office the a day after he fired james comey. let's take a listen. >> the president of the united states telling the russian foreign minister in the first meeting that the pressure is off because he's fired the fbi director investigating russian interference in the campaign. does that seem appropriate to you? >> as you know, it's very difficult to take a few lines, to take a paragraph out of what are -- appear to be notes of that meeting. the intent of that conversation was to say, what i would look to do is to move beyond all of the russia news so that we can find areas of cooperation.

>> looks to be a great interview. the president, as you know, is traveling with some of his closest advisers. according to reports, one of these officials may be a person of interest in the fbi investigation. do you expect this to be a cloud over his trip? >> coming off this week, this was probably the most battering week of the trump presidency. you had the headline with the president giving away classified information to the russians. you had the headline in the same meeting with the russians, 24 hours after the president fired james comey, he called comey a nut job and said the pressure is off because he's no longer investigating. you had these other reports that james comey felt the president was trying to get him to drop the investigation. this was a tough, tough week. the white house hoping this is going to be a break. you have to say that so far, at least, they're getting a bit of a break overseas, a very warm welcome in saudi arabia. so far. the trip is going along with no hitches at all. we'll get the big speech from the president, as well. this is something they're hoping will calm everything down. before they come back home.

>> and you mention the speech. this is the centerpiece of the day. the president delivering a speech about fighting terrorism. to many, many dozens of arab leaders. as you look at what the president is saying, what do you take away? >> most remarkable, the break from the campaign. all during the campaign, he said radical islamic terror. the president said flatly, islam hates us. this is very different. the president saying now this is not a war between religions. even more significant perhaps, according to white house aides is what we're going to hear from the saudis as well. the saudi king calling out these terrorists, these extremists saying, that is not islam. that is something that the white house sees as major benefit of this trip. if the saudis stick to the it -- they have been extreme backers in the past, but if they stick to that commitment, it would be a significant achievement. >> you talked about the warm welcome from the saudis. it's gone off without a hitch. they are treating trump like royalty. do you think this could be seen

as an early foreign policy victory for trump? and also a rejection of obama's foreign policy? >> the saudis clearly did not like president obama at all. the white house trying to capitalize on that. the president does appear to have a warm relationship. so much will depend on whether this can lead to long-term benefits. lead to saudi arabia really taking on islamic extremism. he heads to israel next. will the president's hope for progress in the middle east peace come forward? we're not going to know for awhile. first day, decent start. >> big day for the president. big day for you, george. big reminder. george will have the rest of his one on one with national security adviser h.r. mcmaster. plus house oversight committee chairman jason chaffetz. and ranking member elijah cummings. they discuss the latest on the russia investigation and the appointing of a special counsel. that is coming up later this morning on "this week" here on abc. thank you, george. >> thank you again, george. we move to the breaking news this morning. a new missile launch in north korea, just hours ago. >> we're continuing to gather more information as we're on the air this morning. north korea seemingly speeding

up its development of nuclear weapons and missiles. and following the story this morning, our gloria riviera, who is in our washington bureau. good morning, gloria. >> reporter: good morning, paula. that's right. this morning, another provocative move from north korea. the country conducting its eighth missile test this year, just hours ago. from a site in the western part of the country. south korea's military is reporting the unidentified projectile, flew about 310 miles coming down into the sea of japan. both south korea and the u.s. are currently analyzing this launch for further details. the latest move comes just one week after north korea successfully launched a kn-17 missile. that feat was celebrated with a massive parade may 19th, staged to hail missile developers as national heroes. that missile was seen as a success for the height it reached. an altitude of over 1,200 miles. as well as the distance, traveling about 435 miles before it, too, came down in the sea of japan. that altitude is seen as evidence that north korea making

progress on its missile program's long-range capabilities and possibly testing re-entry technology. in a statement, the white house indicated, it does not believe this latest rocket to be another kn-17, but a shorter missile. despite calls to stop, north korea's leader kim jong-un persists. president trump has suggested tougher sanctions. last week, the u.n. called again for an immediate halt. but today, south korea's new president is convening an emergency meeting in response to all of this. we'll be watching. dan? paula? >> we'll be watching. thanks for your reporting. moving on, a popular nba star says he was detained at a an airport overseas. he'll be filling us in later today on exactly what happened. >> we're talking about oklahoma city thunder's enes kanter. he's blaming the incident on his outspoken criticism of leader president trump welcomed to the white house just last week. and abc's eva pilgrim has more. >> reporter: this morning, an outspoken nba player headed back to the u.s. after being detained overseas.

his passport revoked. >> we were in romania. they said they canceled my passport by turkish embassy. they've been holding us for hours. by the police. >> reporter: enes kanter, the 6'11" center for the oklahoma city thunder, and swiss-born turkish citizen was traveling, working with his children's foundation when he was held inside a romanian airport. >> the reason behind it is just of course, my political views. >> reporter: saying his passport was canceled because he spoke out against turkish president erdogan and spoke out about the recent protesters by erdogan's security detail. >> you know him by he's attacked the people in washington. he's a bad, bad man. he's a dictator. >> reporter: this is not the six-year nba veteran's first time facing backlash over his political views. last july, kanter reportedly received death threats, some on social media, after criticizing the turkish government after a terrorist attack. >> the fact that he's felt emboldened to talk about that. we should expect it. frankly, we should welcome it. athletes are finding their voice

in a way we haven't seen since since the 1960s. >> reporter: romanian officials are reporting he wasn't locked up and was free to roam around the airport after being stuck for several hours. kanter did get permission to fly to london, and is scheduled to arrive in new york today where he's planning to give a press conference. >> continuing to be outspoken. eva, thank you. a lot of other news. for that, we kick it over to dr. ron claiborne. good morning, sir. >> not my medical degree. >> not bespectacled today. >> no, that was yesterday. good morning to you. dan, paula, eva. and robert, good morning. good morning, everyone. we begin with the man accused of driving into a crowd of pedestrians in times square last week now speaking out. in a jailhouse interview, with "the new york post," richard rojas says he wants to apologize to his mother. the 26-year-old says he doesn't remember driving his car into people. killing one person. rojas, who had a history of drunken driving arrests, says he's been trying to get help to fix his life. police say he admitted being

high on pcp-laced marijuana when he allegedly drove that car on to the crowded sidewalk. at l.a.x., los angeles international airport, eight people were hurt when a plane struck a supply truck. on the taxiway. the aero mexico jet had just landed when it hit the truck, causing it to flip over. the eight people riding in the truck suffered nonlife-threatening injuries. no one on the plane though was hurt. a newly released letter shows that former new england patriot player, aaron hernandez, had asked prison officials to be moved to a different part of the facility. specifically asking to share a cell with someone he said was his heart, and like a brother to him. someone he knew from the streets. hernandez was found dead in a cell on april 19th. that death ruled a suicide. in los angeles, the former dodgers manager tommy lasorda is in the hospital this morning. lasorda has been hospitalized for several days. according to the l.a. dodgers.

they gave no details of his illness or condition. the 89-year-old hall of famer has a history of heart problems. and at pimlico racetrack in maryland, kentucky derby winner, always dreaming, hoping to take the second jewel of horse racing's triple crown taking an early lead out of the gate there. but then, classic empire made his move. pulling away from dreaming. then down the stretch, it was -- cloud computing that won by a head. always dreaming finished a nightm cloud computing the winner there at the preakness. finally, you may remember that the rio olympics had a few problems. now a new one nine months after the games. defective medals. more than 130 medals, gold, silver and bronze have been returned to the mint after the athletes complained they were chipping, rusting, in some cases falling apart. a spokesperson for the rio olympics attributed the problems to different temperatures. which he said is completely normal. he also blamed some of the

athletes for mishandling their medals. >> what are they doing? >> checking to see if there was chocolate inside. >> playing with them and dropping them. >> did you hear what dan said? >> yeah, see if there was chocolate. >> hanukkah gelt. anyway. >> there was no chocolate. rob, is there something going on in the weather that we should talk about? now that the entire olympic community dislikes me. >> show you this video. this is west of indianapolis, some damage there, we suspect was a tornado. a couple of reports of it. happened late last night in the dark. and there you see what it did. and -- it's been a rough week. over 100 reported tornadoes since monday. and the hits just keep on coming. also rain across parts of the south. birmingham, alabama. mobile, alabama. a couple of water rescues. in birmingham. 5 to 7 inches of rainfall falling in a short period of time. montgomery, over eight inches in a 24-hour period. here's the radar. a little bit less in the way of rain. still, some heavy stuff across the florida panhandle. we have a flash flood to watch out for in parts of the new

orleans for the next wave that will be along the next stall. more rain coming for the deep south. in some areas, it's good. some areas, you'll see more of that flooding. this gets up to the northeast, congrats, once again, to cloud computing for winning the preakness. i like to think it's a weather-related thing. but i think it has more to do with data, and computers. >> make it whatever you want it to be. >> cumulus cloud. >> good job.

>> megablock every week. no more megablocks today? >> no, we're good. >> i have no idea what we're talking about. >> i rarely know what we're talking about. imagine how they feel. >> yes. our apologies. let's talk about something that is reasonably coherent. we've got the latest on what they're calling the wedding of the year over in the uk. the royal family partying into the night celebrating pippa middleton's marriage. >> prince harry and meghan markle making an appearance. at the lavish event. abc's lama hasan is in london with the wedding stories everybody is talking about. good morning to you, lama. >> reporter: and good morning to you, guys. yeah, it really is the wedding everyone is talking about this morning. making headlines for a number of reasons. from poor little prince george having a complete meltdown to the question everyone was asking. where was prince harry's girlfriend, meghan markle? it was the wedding of the year. pippa middleton marrying her beloved beau, james matthews. saturday night, all eyes were in search of prince harry and his captivating date. the american actress, meghan

markel. the two cementing their status at the lavish middleton settlement in bucklebury. harry and his lady giving a high-profile appearance avoided. they didn't want to upstage the bride on her big day. >> harry's been someone who likes to play cat and mouse with the media. he doesn't like his privacy being broken. he guards it jealously. >> reporter: it was pippa's niece and nephew who stole the show. princess charlotte performing flower girl duties. while prince george charmed as a pageboy. though a misstep involving pippa's dress led to this dressing drown by mum, kate, who spent the day keeping eight of the youngest guests in line. >> someone had to look after them. it looked like it was kate. she seemed to have done a very good job. >> reporter: after the newly married couple escaped in the vintage jaguar, it was off to the magnificent reception. england's rich and famous turning out. including ace tennis champ, roger federer. and harry's cousin, princess eugenie.

remarkably in this day and age of cell phones and social media, we haven't seen any images or any video posted online yet of either the service or the reception, and the papers here are reporting that's because there was a ban of cell phones. guests had to hand them in before they went in. i have to tell you, i think my favorite bit of the day was poor george having that tantrum. we know toddlers can be a handful, right? >> certainly do. >> i live with a 2-year-old. anybody wants him, i'll let you know. >> lama. >> i have one, too. >> you can have mine while we're at it. so, you know, 3 for 1. lama, thank you. >> she did a wonderful job keeping all those toddlers in line. they were right in a row. as they walked out. it was great. >> you have a toddler. it's hostage negotiation sometimes to get them to do anything. that's what it feels like. >> yes, it does. i often lose in those negotiations. >> me, too. coming up on "gma," a man is killed and his son seriously injured while trying to rescue him. how a hidden pool danger is to

while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... ...and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i'm still going for my best. and for eliquis. ask your doctor about eliquis. this i can do, easily. i try hard to get a great shape. benefiber® healthy shape is a clear, taste-free, 100% natural daily fiber... that's clinically proven to help me fee longer.er l benefibellr® healthy shape. this i can do! paul and bongo march a very different beat. sfx: cymbals they break only for the 100% complete and balanced nutrition of meow mix cat food. no wonder it's the only one cats ask for by name.
