thousands told to leave their homes in california as the first major winter storm of the season moves in. dangerous flash floods and mudslides on the way headed right for those spots devastated by the wildfires while out east, the great thaw begins. and abc news exclusive, tonya harding, done apologizing. >> why? >> what she's saying about that attack on nancy kerrigan. >> competitors, yes. rivals, no. >> what did she know beforehand? now nearly 25 years later, she's telling her side of the story only on abc. and we do say good morning, america. great to have michael back here in the fold. >> great to be back. >> that didn't was working. able to find the studio. >> i

when it was zero. >> i know. i don't blame you at all. how about that game last night? we're playing "sweet home alabama," roll, tide. down at the half, freshman quarterback comes in, go on to win in overtime, 26-23. >> there you see them lifting the trophy for the fifth time under coach saban. a gutsy call he made switching quarterbacks in the second half. the freshman comes off the bench to lead the way, tua tagovailoa will be here live. >> that's a tongue tie right there, george. that was very good. we'll take a look at alabama after the win. you thought you were excited at home. there they are, the student, all the fans had so much to celebrate last night. wow! crazy scene of happiness right there. and amy was there in georgia for the game. we know she's a big bulldogs than. her alma mater and we know you hoped it would have been a different outcome but at the same time i know you're proud of your team. >> yeah, you know what, they did

it was a thriller last night, yes, it was a heartbreaker to some of us and you know the crimsonettes here, they are having fun this morning. none of them have slept overnight as is the case for many alabama fans and no one can argue it was a game for the ages last night, you had a come from behind overtime victory for alabama and, yes, it also thrust this 19-year-old true freshman into the spotlight. with the game on the line, alabama turned to a true freshman, quarterback tua tagovailoa. >> tagovailoa trying to make up for it. >> reporter: boy, did he deliver. >> fire to the end zone. touchdown, alabama wins! the crimson tide will not be denied. alabama breaks georgia hearts. >> reporter: down 13-0 to georgia at the half. >> in the air, the dogs barking in the first half. >> reporter: alabama sacked

favor of tua tagovailoa, a five-star recruit from hawaii. >> throwing again, end zone, touchdown. >> reporter: the 19-year-old orchestrated a 20-point comeback. >> tagovailoa, plenty of time. surveying the field. fires, end zone, touchdown. >> reporter: but when alabama missed this last-second field goal to win the game -- >> no. when you miss it that bad that's pressure. >> reporter: georgia fans thought they had another shot at redemption in overtime. but the crimson tide rolled. >> touchdown, alabama wins. >> reporter: to their sixth national championship under coach nick saban. >> this is a great win for our players and i've never been happier in my life. >> what were your emotions as you watched the ball through flew the air? >> couldn't believe it. i could not believe it. >> did you know it was a touchdown. >> i knew we were

seattle and when i saw him come through on the other side i said this was it. >> reporter: the number 13 has never felt so lucky. >> this moment, i mean it means the world but at the same time, i mean all glory goes to god. i can't describe what he's done for me and my family. >> the man that caught that game-winning catch devonta smith also a true freshman and says as they were coming up with that play he looked over at tua and said, trust me, bro. well, i guess that trust certainly paid off and a lot of people asking this morning if this victory makes nick saban the most successful college coach of all time. you may remember back in 2009 when he brought home his first victory for alabama he said this is just the beginning and it looks like he was certainly right. now he is tied with bear bryant for a record six championships, that is the most for a head coach ever in history so pretty impressive stats. we are going to speak with tua, that star quarterback, also an

celebrate beyond the football game by proposing to his girlfriend. so a lot coming up still, guys. >> amy, it was exciting for us to be watching at home. what was it like to be there at that stadium? >> reporter: i mean, it was great for the first three quarter, robin. amazing and then it was soul crushing. it was soul crushing. i mean i -- we had the biggest highs and just the most horrific lows, i mean, we really thought when they missed that field goal at the end we had it and then we made ours, oh. it was a rough night. >> yeah, we're seeing -- >> amy, if it makes you feel any better i've been there more than once. hang in there. you'll be all right. >> we'll check back with you in a little bit. amy, thank you. we saw president trump take the field for the national anthem at last night's championship game and this morning keeping an eye on those talks between north and south korea, their first in two years and

send a delegation to the olympics. martha raddatz is tracking the latest. she's there in seoul, south korea. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. after months of terrifying nuclear headlines coming out of north korea, today was a welcome and startling change on the peninsula, beginning with a walk across the border. this morning, on the world's most heavily fortified border, a delegation of north korean officials walked brinkley over that small dividing line right into south korea, enemy territory. greeted by south korean counterparts, the men shook hands, smiling and got down to business. and it did not take long. for the first time in eight years, north korea agreed to send its athletes, a figure skating pair and maybe more, to the upcoming olympic games as well as a cheerleading group and performance troupe.

the olympics' opening ceremony side by side with the north korean team. the north koreans calling it a new year's gift. for the south an insurance policy that kim jong-un won't disrupt the games. the south did bring up hopes of denuclearization with north korea today. the north said absolutely nothing in response. and there is no guarantee kim won't test another missile in the coming weeks. he is likely just one or two tests away from perfecting a nuclear tipped missile that could potentially reach the u.s. exactly the deterrent and negotiating power he wants. president trump had said he welcomed these talks between the north and south about the olympic games but says kim jong-un knows he is not messing around when it comes to demanding the north halt its nuclear weapons program and the pressure will continue. robin. >> it will, all right. thank you, martha.

the russia investigation. special counsel robert mueller has told president trump's legal team that he is likely to request an interview with the president, could come in a matter of weeks and our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas is tracking the investigation from washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning. that's right, george. special counsel mueller has indicated to president trump's attorneys that his team may want to interview the president and sources tell us that trump's legal team is pondering how to respond if an official request is made. would they be willing to allow the president to sit down to be interviewed or would they want to limit the scope and allow the president to respond only in written form? it's unclear, george, whether mueller will accept the more limited option. >> hard to imagine he would accept that option especially because in the past presidents have sat down with special counsels, ronald reagan did it, bill clinton did it before the grand jury, george w. bush did it. >> reporter: absolutely. the president has maintained there was no collusion and he's done nothing wrong so he may feel it's perfectly fine to do the interview because he's got nothing to hide but the trump lega

be careful. this is a way for mueller to get the president on the record and ask questions not only about allegations of russian collusion generally but there could also be a lot of specific questions including what the president knew about that trump tower meeting with the russians and his role in crafting don junior's misleading statement about that trump tower meeting. and, remember, george, the special counsel's team will be holding all the cards with information from witnesses that have already been interviewed and a lot of unknown, for example, what is michael flynn telling the special counsel? the former national security adviser pled guilty in exchange for cooperation and he's looking at zero to six months in jail, some legal experts say that's a pretty sweet deal, george. what did mueller get in exchange for such a sweet deal? >> of course, the big risk for the president any false statements before the special counsel could bring charges. pierre thomas, thanks very much. we're going to get more from the white house now. cecilia vega is there and, cecilia, want to switch gears and pick up on that oprah boom that got kicked off. possible tal

2020. what was the reaction at the white house? >> reporter: well, we don't actually know whether the president saw oprah's speech. we know his daughter did. take a look, george. she's tweeting overnight just saw oprah's empowering and inspiring speech at last night's golden globes. let's all come together, women and men and say time's up, united. got quite a response. people like alyssa milano saying you can donate to the time's up movement in you want to support people like your own father's accusers so got a little rough online for ivanka overnight. now, in the late '90s, donald trump was asked who he would choose as a running mate if he decided to run for office. he named oprah and you know that interview you had with him on the day he announced his candidacy for this office, he said, i like oprah. so we will see the official line from the white house is we welcome all challengers. >> of course, democrats have a big decision ahead for themselves. lots of business in washington right now. going to sit down again trying to avoid the government

january 19th but this president trump's demand for a border wall still a huge sticking point. >> reporter: yeah, and that shutdown, the clock is ticking. this border wall, this issue of immigration is the main sticking point right now on this issue. we're looking at the shutdown and potentially just nine days away so democrats and republicans will be here for this. for democrats it's a nonstarter, $18 billion for this wall they say, no dice. president trump, a huge campaign promise. perhaps his biggest and demanding this wall and border security be part of this funding measure. nancy pelosi told reporters yesterday she's skeptical they can get anything done during this meeting so that just shows you, george, where they're starting on this one, really both sides digging in. >> meantime, on immigration yesterday, cecilia, the trump administration taking away that protected status for salvadorians who have been here since 2000. >> reporter: yeah, more than a

quarter of a million people. essentially it protects salvadorians and the country illegally from being deported. they now have until september 2019 to stay in this country. how are you going to force all of these people out of this country? they're here. they've got lives here. their country depends on these remittance, schumer is calling this heartless and reckless. >> thanks very much. >> we'll move on from politics now to that powerful storm out west forcing thousands to evacuate. there are serious concerns about flooding and mudslides. in the same areas devastated by recent wildfires. matt gutman is in california where the storm is moving in. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, you can see the rain coming down. it is forecast to come down at over an inch an hour and i want to give you a sense of why these mudslides are such a threat here. so after a fire comes roaring through here, it basically bakes in some of this soil making it waxy so kind

then everything comes sliding down the mountain here and the major concern is that so many of these fires have burned right over populated areas like this one. this morning, the first major winter rainstorm lashing the same parts of southern california scorched by wildfires this fall. hillsides that were engulfed in flames just weeks ago now completely denuded leaving nothing to hold the soil in place. >> i mean, look at the hill. there's nothing slowing it down. >> reporter: right,000s are under mandatory and voluntary evacuation orders. fears over flash floods and landslides growing this morning. intersections already inundated in some parts, residents using sand, hay and sheets of plastic to prevent the scorched hillsides from collapsing. the claffey family is facing their second evacuation in less than a month and met them in

thomas fire tore through. what are awe parade of? >> the fire. >> reporter: is it flowing? >> it's stuck on the other side. >> reporter: now leaving again, it was little macy's first day back at school since the fires. the family's arming itself with sandbags and makeshift waterways to channel the water away from the house hoping to fight off another potential disaster. >> if our house were flooded, it would be devastating. absolutely devastating. >> reporter: it is so hard for so many of these families to kick start their lives back up again. now, we're forecast to see rain well over an inch an hour. that is dangerous and it's no idle threat in a town like la conchita where we are here, in 2005 mudslides from this very mountain killed ten people in this town. now, most residents have evacuated. but not all of them. robin. >> all right, matt, thank you very much. they have been through so much. let's go to ginger who is tracking the timing of this

>> good morning. this rain is widespread. san francisco had its wettest day on record since 2014 and look at this, that widespread rain heavy at times, matt is about to get into one of those squall lines. that's why we see that flash flood warning over the whole thomas burn scar area so that's all just east of santa barbara. they've already reported quarter inch of rain in five minutes. so that's going to be the issue. how quickly this heavy rain falls and then you've got wind, 30 to 50-mile-per-hour gusts in the valleys in the coast, up in the mountains up to 70, even 90-mile-per-hour gust, the timing of this, there's a little spurt this afternoon, then it's gone and moves across the nation, robin. >> ginger, thanks very much. michael. >> thank you. we turn to new fallout from a hazing death. a judge is now banned the fraternity from pennsylvania for ten years and three fraternity brothers are facing jail time after the death of a pledge in 2013. abc's diane macedo is here with the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. not only were the fraternity brothers sentenc

but the fraternity itself was also sentenced and now the case is not only impacting the whole state of pennsylvania, but it could set a precedent nationwide. a fraternity is banned in the state of pennsylvania and four members face up to two years in prison after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the 2013 hazing death of 19-year-old michael deng. >> having spoke with each and every one of them i don't doubt for a second that there is remorse on behalf of each and every one of them. >> reporter: pi delta psi prohibited from operating anywhere in the state for ten years meaning its chapters at penn state and carnegie mellon will be shut down. attributed to injuries from being repeatedly tackled by fraternity members during a rich wh ritual at a rented home and waited more than an hour before getting help. >> there shouldn't have been any delay and yet there was and then afterwards there was a cover-up. >> reporter: the decision is having ramifications for other victims of hazing, as well.

agreed on monday to take over the penn state hazing case that left timothy piazza dead in 2017. he fell down a flight of stairs. his parents put out a statement saying in order for there to be real and meaningful change, prosecutors and the court systems throughout the country need to take a tougher stance on these types of crimes. and penn state said they've implemented some changes to increase safety and we reached out to baruch college but so far no response. >> thanks so much. ginger, back to you. big i can't rememberup coming up. >> above 60 in nashville, yes, headed for many of us east of the rockies.

>> what happened? >> she said some guy hit her. >> reporter: it was the whack heard around the world. >> why? why? >> reporter: america's figure skating sweetheart nancy kerrigan clubbed in the knee at the 1994 u.s. figure skating championship. her hopes of qualifying for the olympics seemingly dashed. >> it makes you cringe hearing it. because you know how much that it had to have hurt. and why someone would do this, what are they after? i was scared. >> reporter: for your own safety? >> yes. and anybody else's. i mean, this had never happened. >> pretty upset and angry that someone would do this and i really want to skate today but the doctors all said i shouldn't. >> nancy kerrigan will not be competing in the 1994 united states figure skating

>> but she was your competition. >> competitors, yes. rivals, no. >> was there any part of you that felt relief that you wouldn't have to compete against her to get on the team? >> absolutely not. >> so you didn't think with her out of the competition victory was yours? >> no. it's not. any of us could have won. any of us could have failed. >> tonya went on to win the championship. >> tonya harding is the 1994 national champion. >> reporter: and secured a spot on the olympic team. meanwhile, rumors swirled around the 20-year-old's possible involvement in kerrigan's attack as the fbi zeroed in on harding's ex-husband, jeff gillooly who conspired with a team of assail apartments to carry out the attack. harding always denied she helped plan the hit. >> you never said to jeff, let's do this? >> no, no. >> he never asked for your permission? >> no. >> and you were never part of the planning? >> no. i did, however, overhear them

dentist office calls a routine tooth extraction. the family says they took her back the next day because of a fever and were sent home saying the dentist told them the child would be fine. but days later she died. >> a reasonable dentist should have, we contend, recognized that this infection had spread and was something that needed urgent attention. >> reporter: the lares lawsuit says the dentist failed to meet the standard of care. a spokesperson for the dentist strongly denies the allegations claiming there was no relationship between the dental care and the child's death. just last month a 2-year-old boy also died after a crown and filling at that same kool smiles location. the family says zion gastelum stopped breathing during the procedure. >> he was fine. he was good. nothing wong with him. he was in there for a procedure. >> reporter: the company says our

>> good morning, sir. >> to talk about it. thank you for joining us. mitt romney, he's 70 years old. he's been generally in great health. >> yep. >> so what is the risk of prostate -- who is at risk for it and why? >> short answer, literally every man. when i was in medical school, michael, we were taught that in a man lives long enough, almost every man will have at least microscopic evidence of prostate cancer so the statistics, it affects about one in six or seven men. it is more common as men age so over the age of 65 definitely more common and there is a range. this is important. not all prostate cancer will kill a man, slow-growing types and aggressive types. those at high risk, people with family history and african-american men affected more often. >> 40 years old you should start having your prostate exams. what is the new age now? >> well, listen, the screening -- this the most important thing. the screening recommendations have changed in the past years and there has been some controvers

screening test for cancer because of the question, is that screening test doing more harm than good? so to be clear, this is a shared decision-making process. it is not one size fits all. it appears the biggest benefit of screening is between men age 55 to 69 and it depends on the age of that man and his again health. we're talking about about this blood test mostly called a psa so this is a controversial area and it's something that men should discuss with their health care provider. >> and romney's case he had his treated surgically. what are the other options. >> more options for treating prostate cancer than many other. if you okay at the list and this is -- there's surveillance called watchful waiting or surveillance, surgery, radiation therapy, cryotherapy then you go on to hormonal therapy, chemo. some vaccines. if it has spread to the bone you can target that. there are a ton of options and it's really something that

surgeon, with his urologist and it's based on not just the stage or grade of the cancer, but his age and his health so someone who is 70 may choose a different treatment than someone who is 60. >> got you. doc, thank you so much. the biggest thing, guys make sure you get screened. >> talk to your doctor. >> exactly. >> thank you. >> great advice there. turning our attention to our new series helping you shred your debt. according to one survey 53% of americans, do you know this, say they're saving money. their top new year's resolution and becky worley is here with the hot saving trend. i want to you say the word.

you divvy it up. money goes into the survival envelope first. rent, food, transportation, medical and phone. next envelope is called optional. think restaurants and shopping, then culture, movie, concerts, and finally extra, or surprise expenses like gifts, donations and emergencies. >> when we set goals, that really gives us the motivation to do things like stick to a spending plan. >> reporter: a daily nudge in the direction of getting fiscally fit. now, the book is not available right now in the u.s. but it will be this fall. the publisher tells us but great tips for really getting that debt under control. >> oh, great tips and i'm looking at it. you're going to have to really put some entries in here. i'm thinking maybe a more modern -- >> the same concept of the envelope budgeting can be done with a couple of apps. this one is called good budget and you see it lets you create your own

chosen grocery, gas, rent, but you can customize that and then it'll also report your spending by envelope and how you're doing against your monthly income. that's the key. a lot of people also use mint which is kind of a swiss army knife of all these financial apps. >> i've seen that. >> then they have budgeting in here. they'll tell you the categories where you're spending and even pop notifications up which is kind of we call it nagware but i did get quite a few of those in december as the holiday season came to a close and it made me very mindful of my spending. >> something to keep in mind. all right, becky, always great to have you here. let's go to ginger. >> i was just saying there's no way i'd get my nails done. it's time. we should do this. your "gma" moment when you sneak out at night and you don't want your mom to know, yeah, that's yarney, the dog in rex, georgia, sneaks back into her yard. yes. >> have you ever seen such --

at a point in my life where i thought i would be and just kind of make a smart decision and i chose to write about it for that exact reason. i felt like there were probably women out there that feel the same way that feel a little bit embarrassed or ashamed and still want a family but aren't there yet and i wanted to share that kind of side of it. >> and on top of it whitney bischoff from season 19 wheped you through it. seize a fertility nurse. >> yeah. >> and how was it to have your ex-boyfriend's ex-fiancee help you through this procedure. >> i mean it sounds weird but you don't see chris as my ex-boyfriend. yes, it's her ex-fiance but when you date 25 men at a time they're not exactly all your exes. but it was great. it was nice to have a familiar face in a very unfamiliar setting for me. >> yeah. the big question we all want to know have you found love yet. >> i don't know. book number three i would give away if i told you that. >> don't give away book number three.

reached out on social media and their question for the fans on twitter is is there anything wrong with staying single? >> absolutely not. actually i have had the best three years of my life being single here in new york city. i think especially as a woman, you learn so much about yourself, you are empowered. we're living in a time now where women have voices, women are stlong, women can be empowerered and empower others and you never know yourself until you are truly independent. >> i like that. thank you so much and the book "single state of mind," it is out right now. make sure you go get it and join "the bachelorette" fantasy league at abc.com/bfl to sign up.

[ laughter ] >> yeah, it was fun. you know, i don't think people realize how much work goes into an action film. it's so physical. and, you know, we often hear tales of people dying, you know, and i'll tell you why, because you're in the 13th hour, you know, you've been working all day and you get to the end of the day and you still have this huge dangerous stunt to pull off and, you know, people are tired. you know, and sometimes it fatig fatigue that steps in and you take a misstep and it can go bad like the time i crashed a maserati. >> well, you're the executive producer. >> yeah. man, let me tell you if i was just the actress i would have been ooh. i was like, how much is this going to cost us? >> i don't blame you. >> i was like, go to your trailer. okay.
