THE VATICAN REVEALING THE 86 YEAR OLD PONTIFF COMPLAINED OF RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTIES IN RECENT DAYS AND WENT IN FOR TESTS. THE INFECTION WILL REQUIRE SEVERAL DAYS OF APPROPRIATE HOSPITAL MEDICAL TREATMENT. AS A YOUNG MAN, THE POPE HAD PART OF A LUNG REMOVED AFTER A SEVERE CASE OF PNEUMONIA, NORMAL LUNG TISSUE, AS WELL AS PULMONARY RESERVA. SO THAT MAY PRESENT A RISK IN TERMS OF IS AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO FIGHT THIS PARTICULAR INFECTION. >> TODAY'S NEWS COMES JUST HOURS AFTER THE POPE'S WEEKLY AUDIENCE, WHERE HE APPEARED ENERGETIC AND ENGAGING DURING ST. PETER'S SQUARE IN HIS JEEP ,KISSING BABIES AND POSING FOR PHOTOGRAPHS. >> SINCE THE POPE WAS OUT AND ABOUT THIS MORNING, THAT WOULD IMPLY THAT HE HAD AN OUTPATIENT PART, MOLA LENGHI, WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY SERIOUS. HOWEVER, HE WAS THE POPE, AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE SERVED IN THE HOSPITAL UNTIL THINGS THERE COMPLETELY. >> BUT FRANCIS HAS BEEN FACING SOME OTHER HEALTH CHALLENGES IN RECENT YEARS.

BUT AS YOU MENTIONED, WITH THOSE STORMS COMING IN NOW, EVEN THAT BURYING THEIR LOVED ONES IS IN UNCERTAINTY TONIGHT. WE'VE ALSO LEARNED THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THE FIRST LADY PLAN TO VISIT STORM DAMAGED AREAS HERE IN MISSISSIPPI FRIDAY LINSEY . >> ALL RIGHT, PHIL LIPOF OUR THANKS TO YOU AS ALWAYS. NEXT TO THAT NEW SEVERE WEATHER THREAT AND AS PHIL JUST REPORTED ON , THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE TORNADOES ACROSS A WIDE STRETCH OF THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING AREAS STILL REELING FROM THE LAST DEADLY OUTBREAK. OUR SENIOR METEOROLOGIST ROB MARCIANO IS TRACKING IT ALL FOR US . >> HEY, ROB . PAYLOADS. WELL, HERE WE GO AGAIN. YOU KNOW, THE SETUP FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS COMING FRIDAY IS VERY SIMILAR TO LAST FRIDAY. THAT STORM IS NOW COMING INTO THE WEST AND IT'S A SIMILAR DYNAMICS. COLD CAUSE. WELL, THEY'RE GETTING SHOWERS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND MAYBE EVEN SOME THUNDERSTORMS FROM SAN FRANCISCO DOWN EVENTUALLY TO SAN DIEGO. THE WEST IS REALLY LITTERED WITH ADVISORIES, INCLUDING NOT JUST FLOODING AND WIND, BUT ALSO HEAVY SNOW IN THE SIERRAS. WHERE THEY BROKE BROKEN RECORDS AND IN THROUGH THE WASATCH OF UTAH, ONE OR TWO FEET. THEY'RE GETTING TO WYOMING AND ACROSS COLORADO. AND THIS THING'S GOT ENOUGH DYNAMIC TO GO CROSS COUNTRY. NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. A LOT OF WIND WITH THIS TOO HIGH FIRE DANGER ACROSS PARTS OF THE HIGH PLAINS. AND THERE WILL BE A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THURSDAY NIGHT. BUT I THINK THE BIGGER SHOW OR THE BIGGER THE BIGGER THREAT AND WIDER THREAT WILL BE DURING THE ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY EVENING AS FAR NORTH AS WATERLOO, DOWN THROUGH ST. LOUIS, PADUCAH, MEMPHIS AND YEAH, NORTHERN HALF OF MISSISSIPPI, THE MOST HARD HIT AREAS FROM LAST WEEK, STORMS, DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES ARE LIKELY IN SOME AREAS COME FRIDAY NIGHT LINSEY . >> ALL RIGHT, ROB , OUR THANKS TO YOU. THERE IS A TROUBLING TURN IN U.S. RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA TONIGHT AS THE KREMLIN IS SUSPENDING ALL NOTIFICATIONS REQUIRED UNDER THE NEW START TREATY INVOLVING NUCLEAR WEAPONS. JUST HOW DANGEROUS COULD THIS BE ? HERE'S ABC'S CHIEF GLOBAL AFFAIRS ANCHOR, MARTHA RADDATZ . TONIGHT, A TROUBLING STANDOFF. RUSSIA NOW REFUSING TO GIVE ADVANCE WARNING TO THE U.S. ABOUT ITS MISSILE TESTS OR PROVIDE DATA ABOUT ITS NUCLEAR ARSENAL. AS REQUIRED BY THE START NUCLEAR ARMS AGREEMENT. A MOVE THAT HAS NOW PROMPTED THE WHITE HOUSE TO DO THE SAME AND SAY REFUSED TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT PARTICULAR MODALITY OF NEW START. WE HAVE TO NOT BUT NOT SHARE THAT DATA. >> THE NEW START AGREEMENT SIGNED IN 2010 LIMITS EACH COUNTRY TO 1450 DEPLOYED NUCLEAR WARHEADS WITH INSPECTIONS TO VERIFY COMPLIANCE. BUT LAST MONTH, VLADIMIR PUTIN CALLED OFF INSPECTIONS BECAUSE OF U.S. SUPPORT FOR THE WAR IN UKRAINE. NOW THEY HAVE TAKEN IT EVEN FURTHER, CALLING OFF ALL NOTIFICATIONS OF MISSILE TESTS. >> MARTHA RADDATZ JOINS US NOW . >> THIS COMES AMONG SOME DISTURBING NEWS OF WHAT RUSSIA IS DOING NOW. IT DOES, LINSEY . >> IT ALL COMES AS RUSSIA BEGINS MILITARY DRILLS AND PUTIN'S ANNOUNCEMENT THAT HE WILL DEPLOY TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS TO UKRAINE'S NEIGHBOR, BELARUS. BUT THE PENTAGON BELIEVES THIS IS JUST SABER RATTLING, ALTHOUGH FAILING TO SHARE DATA ABOUT MISSILE TESTS UNDER THE START AGREEMENT MEANS THERE'S ALWAYS A GREATER POSSIBILITY FOR MISCALCULATIONS. >> LINSEY . >> ALL RIGHT, MARTHA RADDATZ FOR US . OUR THANKS TO YOU AS ALWAYS, MARTHA. MEXICO'S PRESIDENT TO GUARANTEE JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED IF ANY OF THE IMMIGRATION AGENTS OR SECURITY GUARDS IN THE MIGRANT DETENTION FACILITY WENT UP IN FLAMES, COMMITTED ANY CRIME. HIS ANNOUNCEMENT COMES AFTER A VIDEO FROM INSIDE THE CENTER APPEARS TO SHOW SECURITY GUARDS WALKING AWAY AS MIGRANTS WEREN'T LET OUT OF THEIR CELLS WHILE THE FIRE RAGED ON . >> A TOTAL OF THIRTY EIGHT PEOPLE DIED IN THAT BLAZE. AND MAJOR OIL COMPANIES ARE KEEPING THEIR END OF THE CLIMATE BILL COMPROMISE BY OFFERING A COMBINED HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS FOR DRILLING RIGHTS IN FEDERAL WATERS IN THE GULF MEXICO. SALE WAS MANDATED BY LAST YEAR'S CLIMATE COMPROMISE. HOWEVER, ENVIRONMENTALISTS AGAIN CALLED ON BIDEN TO ABIDE BY HIS CAMPAIGN PLEDGES TO END NEW DRILLING ON FEDERAL LANDS AND WATER. THE SENATE VOTED TO REPEAL TWO CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATIONS FROM DECADES AGO ,ALLOWING THE USE OF MILITARY FORCE AGAINST IRAQ, A COUNTRY THEN FALSELY ACCUSED OF STOCKPILING CHEMICAL AND NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND NOW A US SECURITY PARTNER IN THE GULF REGION. THE BIPARTISAN EFFORT IS AIMED AT REASSERTING CONGRESS'S POWER TO DECLARE WAR RATHER THAN SOLELY BEING IN HANDS OF COMMANDERS IN CHIEF. IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN VETERANS OF AMERICA WELCOMED THE RESOLUTION, SAYING CONGRESS SHOULD NOT ALLOW A PRESIDENT TO HAVE UNCHECKED AUTHORITY OVER TROOP DEPLOYMENTS. THE VOTE COMES ON THE HEELS OF THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE U.S. INVASION OF IRAQ. THE FDA HAS APPROVED THE OVERDOSE REVERSAL DRUG NARCAN FOR OVER-THE-COUNTER USE, WHICH ADVOCATES SAY WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO SAVE LIVES AMID THE OPIOID CRISIS. NARCAN IS GIVEN AS A NASAL SPRAY AND THE MEDICATIONS ACTIVE INGREDIENT OF NOT NALOXONE KNOWN CAN QUICKLY RESTORE BREATHING. IF SOMEONE IS EXPERIENCING AN OPIOID OVERDOSE, THE FDA APPROVAL MEANS THE MEDICATION CAN NOW BE SOLD IN DRUGSTORES, GROCERY STORES, GAS STATIONS AND EVEN ONLINE, AND COULD HELP HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO OVERDOSE EVERY DAY ON FENTANYL. ABC NEWS BOB WOODRUFF SHOWED US HOW NARCAN IS ADMINISTERED IN OUR SERIES ON THE CRISIS POISONED. AND THIS IS WHAT A FENTANYL OVERDOSE LOOKS LIKE. WHEN YOU OVERDOSE ON IT, YOUR CHANCES OF COMING BACK AREN'T REALLY THAT GREAT, ACTUALLY . >> THE ANTIDOTE USED TO REVERSE AN OPIOID OVERDOSE IS NALOXONE ,OTHERWISE KNOWN AS NARCAN. IF SOMEBODY IS SUFFERING AN OVERDOSE, YOU JUST SIMPLY SQUIRT THIS INTO THEIR NOSTRILS. >> BREATHE IT IN. THIS IS A SCENE THAT IS PLAYING OUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY EVERYDAY, NORMAL FENTANYL IS SUCH A POWERFUL OPIOID. FIRST RESPONDERS NOW OFTEN ADMINISTER MULTIPLE DOSES OF NARCAN JUST TO RESUSCITATE ONE PERSON OR GO . THAT'S THE REACTION OF THE CEFAAN KIM. >> SHE'S GOING TO BE OKAY. MAYBE WE CAN HELP A LIFE SAVING DIFFERENCE. THERE ARE THINGS TO BOB WOODRUFF THAT ARE IN. PILOT CAME TO THE AID OF A TWENTY ONE YEAR OLD ROOKIE ON HER THIRD SOLO FLIGHT. HOW ?

JOE . FEWER. SURE. TAYLOR , THIS IS CHRIS, MY DAUGHTER. TAYLOR AND I STARTED TO FLIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO BE JUST FINE. YOU KNOW, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> I WAS DEFINITELY TERRIFIED THAT CALMING VOICE WAS PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO GET THIS KID BACK HOME. AND I KNEW HOW TO HELP HER DO IT. AND THEN THAT MOMENT, YATES' WITH NERVES OF STEEL, GUIDING TAYLOR TO A SAFE LAND. >> HERE YOU GO BACK GENTLY. NICE JOB. HERE SHE COMES. THE NOSE IS GOING TO COME DOWN . YOU'RE OKAY. YOU'RE OKAY. TALK BECAUSE I'M NOT A GIRL PROUD OF YOU. >> IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. >> YOU KNOW, I WAS REALLY HOPING THAT EVERYTHING DIDN'T END UP ON BACK UPSIDE DOWN AND IT DIDN'T. >> AND LINSEY, TONIGHT, TAYLOR TELLS US SHE WILL KEEP TRAINING TO SOMEDAY FLY CORPORATE JETS JUST LIKE CHRIS LINSEY WILL . >> AMAZING STUFF THERE, JOE .

BUT LIKE SO I STARTED TALKING TO HER, LIKE AT THE END OF THE FIRST DAY, I FOUND MYSELF THINKING OF SORINA AS HER. >> HE ASKED US NOT TO USE HIS REAL NAME. SO WE'RE CALLING HIM SCOTT. HE'S GOT A WIFE AND A KID. HE'S A COMPUTER CODER, LIVES IN THE SUBURBS OF CLEVELAND. AFTER THEIR FIRST KID WAS BORN. SCOTT SAYS HIS WIFE, WHO ALSO IS NOT TO BE NAMED, REALLY STARTED STRUGGLING. SHE SLIPPED INTO A SEVERE DEPRESSION THAT LASTED YEARS. AND SCOTT FELT LIKE HE WAS RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS TO HELP MY WIFE, WHO IS STRUGGLING SO MUCH WITH POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION.

BUT WILL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU'RE STREAMING, "ABC NEWS LIVE". WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE. APPLE IS JOINING THE BUY NOW PAY LATER PHENOMENON, ONE THAT COULD LEAD TO SOME OVERSPENDER FOR SOME CONSUMERS IF THEY'RE NOT CAREFUL. >> LET'S TAKE A LOOK BY THE NUMBERS. APPLE PAY LATER. WE'LL ROLL OUT THIS SPRING AND LET USERS SPLIT PURCHASES INTO FOUR PAYMENTS SPREAD OVER SIX WEEKS WITH NO FEES OR INTEREST AS LONG AS THE USER PAYS WITH A DEBIT CARD OR BANK ACCOUNT BY NOW, PAY LATER. PROVIDERS BOOMED IN POPULARITY DURING THE PANDEMIC, WITH THE TOP LENDERS, INCLUDING FIRM AFTER PAY AND CLEANUP, SHOWING OUT A WHOPPING TWENTY FOUR POINT TWO BILLION DOLLARS IN LOANS BETWEEN 20 , 19 AND 2020 ONE , UP FROM JUST TWO BILLION DOLLARS PRIOR TO THAT TIME. THAT'S ACCORDING TO A REPORT LAST FALL BY THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU. BUT IT'S NOT JUST THOSE WITHOUT CREDIT CARDS. USING THE SERVICE IS IN FACT NEARLY 95% OF BUY NOW PAY LATER. BORROWERS HAD AT LEAST ONE CREDIT RECORD IN ANOTHER ACCOUNT, AND THE CFP FOUND CONSUMERS USING BUY NOW PAY LATER. SERVICES WERE MORE LIKELY TO USE CREDIT CARDS, PAYDAY LOANS AND OTHER HIGH INTEREST FINANCIAL SERVICES. USERS ALSO TEND TO BE LOWER INCOME, WITH NEARLY 73% OF BUY NOW PAY LATER CONSUMERS MAKING LESS THAN SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR, ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE. BUY NOW, PAY LATER IS ALSO MORE POPULAR AMONG YOUNG CONSUMERS. GINGER ZEE MILLENNIALS ARE 55% MORE LIKELY THAN OTHER GENERATIONS TO USE THE SERVICES JUST FOR PAYMENTS ON EVERYTHING FROM CLOTHING TO ELECTRONICS. TO FURNITURE. AND WHILE THE SERVICES DO OFFER MORE FLEXIBILITY AND HELP AVOID THOSE BALLOONING INTEREST PAYMENTS OF CREDIT CARDS, FINANCIAL EXPERTS DO URGE CAUTION.

HOW MUCH IT JUST SOLD FOR AT AUCTION AFTER LEVAR BURTON TALKS ABOUT HIS RETURN TO STAR TREK ALONGSIDE HIS DAUGHTER, HOW THEY BONDED ON THE SET, WHAT THEY THINK THE WORLD CAN LEARN FROM THE SERIES AND WHY.

HOW A DRONE VIDEO LED TO THE ARREST OF A GROUP OF SWIMMERS AND AN ITEM WORTH NEARLY NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND IS FOUND IN A FAMILY'S LIVING ROOM. THOSE STORIES AND MORE IN TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN. THE NEW HAMPSHIRE SUPREME COURT HAS DISMISSED PAMELA SPORT'S LATEST CHALLENGE TO HER LIFE SENTENCE IN PRISON. SMART WAS CONVICTED IN 1991 AT THE AGE OF 22 FOR CONVINCING HER TEENAGE LOVER TO KILL HER HUSBAND. THE HIGH COURT WROTE THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE OVERSIGHT POWER TO DIRECT THE GOVERNOR AND HIS EXECUTIVE COUNCIL TO RECONSIDER SMART'S REQUEST FOR A SENTENCE REDUCTION, WHICH WAS DENIED LAST YEAR. ANY AUTHORITY THE COURT WOULD IMPOSE OVER THE COMMUTATION PROCESS WOULD VIOLATE THE SEPARATION OF POWERS DOCTRINE. SMART TOLD ABC LAST MONTH THAT THE COURT'S DECISION WOULD LIKELY BE HER LAST CHANCE AT GETTING OUT OF PRISON. >> SHE'S CONSISTENTLY DENIED ANY WRONGDOING. >> THE FAMILY OF 28 YEAR OLD REENA ROY WANTS JUSTICE AFTER HIS UNTIMELY DEATH AT A DAVE AND BUSTERS IN FLORIDA DURING A SHIFT IN LATE JANUARY . ROY WAS TRAILING A COWORKER WHO WITNESSES SAY ENDED UP BEATING ROY UNTIL HE WAS BRAIN DEAD. HE DIED FIVE DAYS LATER. THAT COWORKER WAS CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER AND HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY. BUT ROY'S FAMILY SAYS DAVE AND BUSTERS IS ALSO TO BLAME. THE FAMILY IS FILING A LAWSUIT THAT STATES DAVE AND BUSTERS WAS AND IS LIABLE FOR THE ACTS OF ITS AGENT, EMPLOYEE OR REPRESENTATIVE.

THE PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE IS MORE THAN TWO AND A HALF TIMES CALIFORNIA'S 300 BILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL BUDGET, AND IT DOES NOT INCLUDE A RECOMMENDED $1 MILLION PER OLDER BLACK RESIDENT FOR HEALTH DISPARITIES. THAT HAVE SHORTENED THEIR AVERAGE LIFESPAN. THE FIGURE ALSO FALLS SHORT OF COMPENSATING PEOPLE FOR PROPERTY UNJUSTLY TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT OR DEVALUING BLACK BUSINESSES. A PAINTING THAT WAS COLLECTING DUST AT A HOME IN FRANCE IS ACTUALLY A MASTERPIECE. THE WORK IS A 17TH CENTURY PAINTING BY FLEMISH ARTIST. IT JUST SOLD AT AUCTION FOR EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. >> AMAZON LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PUT NEW MOVIES, MAYBE LOOKING TO MAKE A MAJOR PURCHASE BACK IN NOVEMBER.

BROKEN LEFT LEG TIBIA BROKEN THE LEFT ANKLE BROKEN RIGHT CLAVICLE BROKEN RIGHT SHOULDER BROKEN FARSIDE SOCKET THE JAW THE MANDIBLE BROKEN LUNG COLLAPSE PIERCED FROM THE RIB BONE YOUR LIVER AND WHICH SOUNDS TERRIFYING. >> YEAH.

SORRY, I CHOSE TO SURVIVE. HAVE GOT KILL ME AWAY. >> DO YOU DREAM OF DOING THOSE STATS AGAIN? I'VE LOST A LOT OF FLESH AND BONE IN THIS EXPERIENCE, BUT I'VE BEEN REFUELED, REFILLED WITH LOVE AND TITANIUM . YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND DO YOU SEE THE SAME FACE. >> NOW I SEE A LUCKY MAN, A BLESSED MAN, JEREMY RENNER, THE DIANE YOU INTERVIEW A STORY OF TERROR, SURVIVAL AND TRIUMPH AIRS NEXT TUESDAY, APRIL SIX . AT 10 P.M. ON ABC. >> WITH MARCH MADNESS NOW IN FULL SWING FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL, THE STATE OF COLLEGE ATHLETICS IS IN THE SPOTLIGHT. AND FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW, ATHLETES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROFIT OFF OF THEIR NAME. IMAGE AND LIKENESS IS CALLED NIHIL FOR SHORT. NEW PRACTICE IS NOT REGULATED NATIONALLY. AND TODAY, A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE TOOK UP THE ISSUE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWO YEARS. >> SO WHERE DO WE STAND WITH NIHIL AND WHERE CAN IT GO FROM HERE? >> KAYNA WHITWORTH HAS THIS REPORT. >> MARCH MADNESS HAS THE EYES OF THE SPORTS WORLD LOOKING AT THE BEST COLLEGIATE ATHLETES IN AMERICA AS THEY HEAD INTO THE FINAL FOUR . >> OH, OH IS KETANJI TO THE FINAL FOUR . AND WHILE THEY WOW THE CROWD ON THE COURT, MILLER TRYING TO TAKE, THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO PROPERLY COMPENSATE HIM OFF THE COURT WITHOUT A CLEAR AND CONSISTENT SET OF RULES IN PLACE. >> THE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM IS DISRUPTED. AN IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF THE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE ARE DECIMATED. >> AND WITH THE TOURNAMENT IN FULL SWING, CONGRESS IS GIVING A LONG LOOK THIS WEEK AT THE ISSUE OF NAME, IMAGE AND LIKENESS, WHICH SOME SAY HAS CHANGED THE GAME. SCHOOLS LIKE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI, WHOSE MEN'S TEAM IS IN THE FINAL FOUR AND HIS WOMEN'S TEAM REACHED THE ELITE EIGHT HAVE OPENLY EMBRACED THIS NEW WAY OF COMPENSATING PLAYERS. >> HISTORY CONTINUES JAMES HILL. I THINK WHAT WE'RE SEEING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI IS REALLY THE MAYBE A TEST CASE OF HOW OTHER SCHOOLS MIGHT WANT TO DO THIS. THE GOOD AND THE BAD OF GETTING INTO THAT A GAME IN A BIG WAY AND HAVING TO BE YOUR CALLING CARD. FOR YEARS, COLLEGE ATHLETES COULD NOT PROFIT OFF THEIR LIKENESS WHILE COMPETING FOR SCHOOLS, EVEN AS COLLEGE SPORTS PROGRAMS BECAME LUCRATIVE. >> THE ISSUE SPARKED LAWSUITS AND OTHER CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS WITH ATHLETES THEMSELVES FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHTS. >> WE ARE FORCED TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS AND TOLD NO. WHILE OUR UNIVERSITIES AND THE NCAA USES OUR NAME, IMAGE AND LIKENESS ALL TO THEIR OWN BENEFIT, MY WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO CAPITALIZE OFF MY NAME, IMAGE AND LIKENESS DURING THE PEAK TIME OF MY ATHLETIC CAREER WAS COMPLETELY STRIPPED AWAY. >> IN 2019, CALIFORNIA STARTED A DOMINO EFFECT, BECOMING THE FIRST STATE TO PASS LEGISLATION ALLOWING STUDENTS TO PROFIT WITH OTHERS ASSUMED TO FOLLOW. >> ONCE YOU HAD THIS KIND OF PATCHWORK AROUND THE COUNTRY OF SOME STATES SAYING YES, ATHLETES CAN BE PAID IN OUR STATE AND OTHER STATES SAYING NO, THEY CANNOT GET . >> WELL, THAT WAS UNTENABLE. THE ISSUE EVENTUALLY REACHING THE SUPREME COURT, WHICH IN 2020 ONE RULED THAT THE NCAA COULD NOT RESTRICT STUDENT ATHLETES FROM OBTAINING EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS. >> THE PROCESS THROUGH WHICH THE COURT WENT IN, MAKING THEIR RULING AND MAKING THEIR DECISION, HIGHLIGHTED THE FACT THAT THE NCAA REALLY COULD NOT PUT OUT A POLICY ON NAME, IMAGE AND LIKENESS IN ANY WAY LIMITING IT, BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THEY WOULD FACE LITIGATION FROM STUDENT ATHLETES THIS YEAR. >> DR. EVERYMEN STAR ATHLETES LIKE ALABAMA QUARTERBACK BRYCE YOUNG AND UCONN AUDREY HALE DUKAS COULD APPEAR IN COMMERCIALS WHILE STILL IN SCHOOL. AND WHEN THE LITTLE KNOWN SAINT PETER'S PEACOCKS WENT ON AN UNEXPECTED TOURNAMENT RUN LAST YEAR, THIS MIRACLE ALONE CONTINUES FOR ST. PETER'S GUARD DOUG ATAT WAS ABLE TO CASH IN WITH BUFFALO WILD WINGS IN ORDER TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION. THE STUDENT ATHLETE HAS TO PROVIDE A SERVICE. THAT SERVICE COULD BE SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS, MAKING APPEARANCES, RUNNING A CAMP OR A CLINIC, OR EVEN DOING SOCIAL MEDIA, INFLUENCING THE WORK THAT THE STUDENT ATHLETES CAN DO CAN REALLY BE ANYTHING. >> THE NEW GUIDELINES, OPENING DOORS AND ESPECIALLY MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR WOMEN, SPORTS . OLIVIA DUNN COMES TO MIND FROM GYMNASTICS AT LSU, THE SCAVENGER TWINS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI. THEY'VE GOT MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS ON INSTAGRAM, A TIKTOK, OUR DEBORAH ROBERTS SPOKE LAST YEAR WITH LSU JAY JOHNSON ABOUT NFL HAS CHANGED HER LIFE. WHAT'S THE ON THE ONGOING STUFF ,WRITING THE INITIAL THING AND BE ABLE TO CAPITALIZE LIKE I CAN TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS, JUST WHAT I DO IN THESE FOUR YEARS OUT HERE. >> BUT WITH NO NATIONAL LAW, THE NCAA HAS LEFT TO SCHOOLS AND STATES TO COME UP WITH THEIR OWN POLICIES. >> THERE ARE CERTAIN STATES THAT HAVE LAWS IN PLACE AND THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT. SOME STATES HAVE ALREADY RESCINDED AND REPEALED THE LAWS THAT THEY JUST PUT INTO PLACE IN 2020 ONE BECAUSE THEY FELT THAT THEY WERE TOO RESTRICTIVE VERSUS THEIR COMPETITOR. >> SCHOOLS IN DIFFERENT STATES NEARBY. THERE ARE ALSO CONCERNS ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY IS INVOLVED AND THE IMPACT ON RECRUITING. WITH SOME DEALS FOR STAR ATHLETES REACHING SIX , EVEN SEVEN FIGURES. >> ALTHOUGH TRUE, ACL PROVIDES TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENT ATHLETES, THE EXISTING ENVIRONMENT CONSISTS OF RECRUITING INDUCEMENTS, TAMPERING AND ULTIMATELY PAY FOR PLAY. >> AND IF A GAP WILL FORM BETWEEN LARGER AND SMALLER SCHOOLS, THERE'S OTHER SCHOOLS THAT DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES, DON'T HAVE THE BOOSTERS, DON'T HAVE THE THE FERVOR OF THOSE BOOSTERS TO TO DO THAT. >> AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE HAVES AND HAVE NOTS, MAYBE IN A WAY WE'VE NEVER HAD BEFORE. >> THE HEARING MARKS ANOTHER FIRST STEP TOWARDS REACHING A UNIFORM, NEW LAW THAT COULD BRING MORE CONSISTENT GUIDANCE. >> THE FIRST ATTEMPT UNDER NEW PRESIDENT BAKER. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CHARLIE BAKER, IT'S BEEN DISCUSSED THAT HE BRINGS TO THE TABLE IS THIS IDEA OF BIPARTISAN EFFORTS TO TRY TO EFFECTUATE CHANGE. AND THAT MOST CERTAINLY IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE NEEDED. >> BUT THE ISSUES CAN GO DEEP AND THE CREATION OF A NATIONAL LAW IS FAR FROM SIMPLE. THE REPUBLICANS SEEM TO WANT MORE REGULATION AND THE ATHLETES TO NOT HAVE JUST BE ABLE TO RUN FREE ON EVERY POSSIBLE ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES. AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE TALKING ABOUT UNIONIZATION FOR ATHLETES . THERE'S ALSO THE ISSUE OF TITLE NINE . CAN YOU PAY MEN BUT NOT WOMEN? IF YOU START TO TALK ABOUT INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ATHLETES ENGAGING IN NAME, IMAGE AND LIKENESS, NOW YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS. >> UNTIL THOSE ISSUES ARE RESOLVED, SOME TEAMS MAY CONTINUE TO CASH IN AND HOPE THE NEW NHL ERA WILL HELP THEM WIN. >> IT. ALL THE FIGURES IN THE HABIBULLAH KHAN HISTORY. IT'S A GAME CHANGER, TO BE SURE THINGS TICHINA. FOR THAT, THE FORMER CEO OF STARBUCKS IS DEFENDING THE COMPANY FROM ALLEGATIONS OF UNION BUSTING . HOWARD SCHULTZ APPEARED BEFORE A SENATE COMMITTEE TODAY CLASHING WITH CHAIRMAN BERNIE SANDERS, WHO ACCUSED HIM OF LEADING AN ANTI-UNION CAMPAIGN . OVER THE PAST 18 MONTHS, STARBUCKS HAS WAGED THE MOST AGGRESSIVE AND ILLEGAL UNION BUSTING CAMPAIGN IN THE MODERN HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. >> STARBUCKS COFFEE COMPANY. UNEQUIVOCALLY. AND LET ME SET A TONE FOR THIS VERY EARLY ON , HAS NOT BROKEN THE LAW. >> SCHULTZ SAYS THE COMPANY HAS A RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH ITS WORKERS. EMPLOYEES HAVE NOW VOTED TO UNIONIZE AT NEARLY THREE HUNDRED STARBUCKS STORES FROM ROOTS TO READING RAINBOW. "ABC NEWS LIVE" BARBERTON HAS LONG MADE A NAME FOR HIMSELF ON SCREEN. NOW HE IS RETURNING TO ONE OF HIS FAN FAVORITE ROLES AS GEORDI LA FORGE IN THE STAR TREK SPINOFF PICARD. AND HE'S DOING IT ALONGSIDE HIS REAL LIFE DAUGHTER, MIKA BURTON ,WHO'S ALSO PLAYING HIS DAUGHTER IN THE SERIES. I TALKED TO THE DUO ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER AND CARRYING ON THE LEGACY OF STAR TREK AND AS GOOD AS THOSE AROUND HERE BECOME PART OF YOU TO ACCOMPLISH THE THINGS YOU NEVER COULD DO. THOSE WERE THE DAYS. >> THE NEXT GENERATION, LITERALLY. HOW IS IT TO WORK NOW WITH YOUR DAUGHTER WHO PLAYS YOUR DAUGHTER? >> YEAH, I PINCH MYSELF, YOU KNOW, EVERY DAY BECAUSE GETS EMOTIONAL WHEN I REALLY FOCUS ON IT. THIS IS THIS IS PRETTY GOOD. >> I'LL DO THAT. >> WE KETANJI TODAY. WE CAN'T LOOK AT EACH OTHER. >> IT'S AWESOME. IT REALLY IS . >> I KNEW THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN SHE DECIDED TO BECOME AN ACTOR. RIGHT. BECAUSE HER MOTHER AND I WERE BOTH IN THE BUSINESS. WE TRIED TO DISCOURAGE. WE SAID THERE WILL BE NO CHILD ACTING. WE'VE SEEN TOO MANY YOUNG LIVES DESTROYED, TOO MANY FAMILIES PULLED APART BY IT. I THINK WE SCARED HER SO HARD THAT I BECAME A LAW MAJOR WHEN I WENT TO COLLEGE. BUT THEN I REALIZED I WAS MISERABLE AND I SAID , I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK. >> I'M TRANSFERRING TO THE ACTING SCHOOL. WHAT IS IT LIKE? THE SAME QUESTION THAT I ASKED YOU STARTED OUT WITH WITH YOUR DAD, YOU WORKING AS THE DAUGHTER OF YOUR DAD IN THE SHOW AND ALSO IN REAL LIFE, HONESTLY, GREATER THAN I EVER COULD HAVE EXPECTED. I THINK I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS COMING INTO IT BECAUSE HE IS MY DAD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE WORKING WITH A PARENT, BUT THE FACT THAT HE RESPECTS MY TRAINING AND MY CRAFT ENOUGH TO HAVE IT BE SUCH A PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT. IT WAS THE HIGHEST COMPLIMENT HE COULD HAVE GIVEN ME BY NOT FEELING THE NEED TO SAY ANYTHING, BECAUSE THAT JUST MEANS THAT HE RESPECTS MY CHOICES AND RESPECTS ME AS AN ACTOR, WHICH I THINK IS THE GREATEST GIFT I EVER COULD HAVE GOTTEN FROM THEM. SO IT WAS AMAZING. SAME QUESTION I'D LIKE TO ASK TO BOTH OF YOU. HOW DOES YOUR REAL LIFE FATHER DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP VARY FROM WHAT WE SEE ON SCREEN? >> YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS SINCE MY WIFE LEFT AND RIGHT OVER HERE, BECAUSE ALONDRA IS VERY MUCH A YES DAD TYPE OF GIRL, SHE SHE FOLLOWS IN HIS FOOTSTEPS PURPOSEFULLY. SHE WANTS TO BE AN ENGINEER BECAUSE HE'S AN ENGINEER. SHE DIDN'T REBEL AND BECOME A PILOT. SHE FOLLOWS BEHIND HIM AND COPIES HIS MANNERISMS. I LIKE TO MAKE FUN OF THIS MAN. I AM A VERY TYPICAL GIRL IN REAL LIFE. IN REAL LIFE. I'M A VERY TYPICAL DAUGHTER IN REAL LIFE. ALONDRA, I THINK, IS THE MORE RESPECTFUL DAUGHTER. >> WHAT WAS IT LIKE FOR YOU RETURNING TO THE ROLE OF GEORDI LA? BUT IT WAS A LOVE FEST, YOU KNOW, THE MEMBERS OF THE CAST, OUR FAMILY, WE HAVE SPENT SO MUCH TIME IN EACH OTHER'S LIVES AND SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER THROUGH SO MANY CHANGES AND CHALLENGES AND PASSAGES. AND WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER, THERE'S JUST THERE'S A MAGIC, THERE'S A SHORTHAND. THERE IS THAT THING CALLED CHEMISTRY. THAT'S THE SPACE WHERE WE ALL MEET LATELY. >> WE HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT DNI, RIGHT. AND DIVERSITY, INCLUSION. AND IT REALLY DOES FEEL LIKE STAR TREK WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME WHEN IT COMES TO THAT. AND DO YOU FEEL LIKE NOW WITH THIS NEXT GENERATION, IT JUST CONTINUES BECAUSE THERE WERE SHOWS WHERE IT WAS LIKE, OH, WELL, WE HAVE OUR ONE MINORITY AND NOW IT'S LIKE, NO, WE'RE NOT JUST SATISFIED WITH ONE. >> NO. STAR TREK HAS ALWAYS BEEN AHEAD OF THE CURVE. RIGHT. SEEING THE JIM NICHOLSON ON THE BRIDGE OF THE ORIGINAL ENTERPRISE SAID TO ME, AS A SCIENCE FICTION FAN AND A BLACK KID, WHEN THE FUTURE COMES, THERE'S A PLACE FOR YOU . THERE IS A REAL HOPEFUL ASPECT TO GENE RODDENBERRY'S VISION. >> HE POSITS THAT BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE TWENTY FOURTH CENTURY, WE WILL HAVE SOLVED A LOT OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE ARE REALLY, REALLY STRUGGLING WITH RIGHT NOW. ON EARTH. >> AND SO WE NEED THAT HOPE. YOU TO SORT OF PULL US IN THAT DIRECTION MAGNET. THAT'S OUR HOPE IS ABOUT MAGNETIZING OURSELVES TO THE POSSIBILITY. AND STAR TREK HAS HAS BEEN THAT IN THE CULTURE FOR DECADES. ONE THING WE ALL HAVE IN COMMON AS HUMAN BEINGS IS WE WANT TO BE SEEN. OH, AND WE WANT TO SEE OURSELVES REFLECTED IN THE WORLD AROUND US BECAUSE IT SAYS NOT ONLY ARE YOU HERE, BUT YOU MATTER. YOU'RE IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO BE CHRONICLED IN THE CULTURE. THERE IS NOTHING MORE POWERFUL THAN THAT CAMERA. AND THE STORIES THAT WE TELL WITH THAT CAMERA. >> IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE BRIDGE OF A TITAN IN PICART, SEASON THREE . YES, YES. IT'S INCREDIBLY DIVERSE. I MEAN, THE FACT THAT THERE'S THREE BLACK WOMEN AND THERE ARE TWO ASIAN REPRESENTATIONS ON THE BRIDGE RIGHT THERE, NONBINARY VARIETY OF GENDER , IT'S IT'S PHENOMENAL TO LOOK AT THE ACTUAL REPRESENTATION OF WHAT OUR WORLD IS IN THIS TINY METALIC ROOM. IT'S ALSO SUCH A CELEBRATION OF FOUND FAMILY. EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT THEIR CREW AS THEIR FAMILY. >> WANT TO GO OFF TOPIC FOR A MOMENT. IF YOU'LL HUMOR ME HERE. >> SO, FIRST OF ALL, YOU'RE BENJAMIN BUTTONS IN REAL LIFE. NOT AGE. I GREW UP WATCHING YOU AND I'M GIRL CLEARLY NOW, BUT AS A LITTLE GIRL AND READING RAINBOW, I KNOW THAT THAT READING DURING THOSE EARLY FORMATIVE YEARS IS CRITICAL. AND OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING THAT'S NEAR AND DEAR TO YOUR HEART. CURIOUS IF WE CAN JUST KIND OF GET INTO THE NEWS OF IT ALL. THEY'VE HAD MORE THAN TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED BOOKS THAT WERE BANNED LAST YEAR, MORE POTENTIALLY THIS YEAR. >> YOUR THOUGHTS ON YOU REALLY WANT TO GIVE ME SOME . >> LET'S DO IT. IT IS . IT IS TO ME. IT IS A POWERFUL EXAMPLE OF I AM WILLING TO CUT OFF MY NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACE, OKAY, BECAUSE WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THESE THESE PARENTS ARE COMMUNICATING TO THEIR CHILDREN . I DON'T TRUST YOU ENOUGH TO BE DISCERNING IN YOUR LIFE. I DON'T TRUST YOU ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU INFORMATION THAT I DON'T AGREE WITH . AND SO I WANT TO KEEP IT NOT ONLY FROM OTHER KIDS. I WANT TO GET IT FROM YOU BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST YOU ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE INFORMATION. >> I THINK THE THE THE IMPETUS IS THAT THERE IS THIS FEAR THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH EMPHASIS ON THE DIVERSE NATURE OF THIS COUNTRY AND THE NEED NECESSITY TO BE MORE EMPATHETIC, UNDERSTANDING AND AWARE OF EXPERIENCES THAT YOU MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY HAVE YOURSELF. >> I THINK YOU GUYS BOTH SO MUCH. AND PERSONALLY, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. I MEAN, AS A LITTLE GIRL, I REMEMBER WATCHING YOU. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO THE FIRST PERSON OF COLOR WAS, WHO I LOOK TO ON ON TV.

PRESIDENT BIDEN PUBLICLY AND PRIVATELY URGING THE PRIME MINISTER TO COMPROMISE WITH OPPOSITION FORCES, CANNOT CONTINUE TO GROW. >> AND I'VE SORT OF MADE THAT CLEAR TO THE PRIME MINISTER RESPONDING. ISRAEL IS A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY, WHICH MAKES ITS DECISIONS BY THE WILL OF ITS PEOPLE AND NOT BASED ON PRESSURES FROM ABROAD. TODAY, NETANYAHU STRUCK A DIFFERENT TONE, INSISTING THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE US IS STRONG. I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT THE ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE WORLD'S GREATEST DEMOCRACY AND A STRONG, PROUD AND INDEPENDENT DEMOCRACY, ISRAEL AND THE HEART OF THE MIDDLE EAST IS UNSHAVED. THAT OVERHAUL IS NOW TEMPORARILY PULLS, BUT PROTESTERS SAY IT MUST BE STOPPED ENTIRELY AND URGED THE NEW LAW WOULD ERODE THE SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES, ALLOWING PARLIAMENT TO OVERTURN DECISIONS MADE BY THE SUPREME COURT WOULD MOVE ISRAEL CLOSER TO AUTOCRACIES LIKE RUSSIA. >> WE THAT WE NEED TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY. I DON'T THINK OUR THANKS TO JAMES. THERE IS A TROUBLING TURN IN U.S. RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA TONIGHT. AS THE KREMLIN IS SUSPENDING ALL NOTIFICATIONS REQUIRED UNDER THE NEW START TREATY.

RUSSIA NOW REFUSING TO GIVE ADVANCE WARNING TO THE U.S. ABOUT ITS MISSILE TESTS OR PROVIDE DATA ABOUT ITS NUCLEAR ARSENAL AS REQUIRED BY THE START NUCLEAR ARMS AGREEMENT, A MOVE THAT HAS NOW PROMPTED THE WHITE HOUSE TO DO THE SAME SINCE THEY HAVE REFUSED TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT PARTICULAR MODALITY OF NEW START. WE HAVE TO TO LIKE NOT NOT SHARE DATA. >> THE NEW START AGREEMENT SIGNED IN 2010 LIMITS EACH COUNTRY TO 1450 DEPLOYED NUCLEAR WARHEADS WITH INSPECTIONS TO VERIFY COMPLIANCE. BUT LAST MONTH, VLADIMIR PUTIN CALLED OFF INSPECTIONS BECAUSE OF U.S. SUPPORT FOR THE WAR IN UKRAINE. NOW THEY HAVE TAKEN IT EVEN FURTHER, CALLING OFF ALL NOTIFICATIONS OF MISSILE TESTS . THANKS TO MARTHA FOR THAT, A POPULAR ESGUERRA MAKER IS ON TRIAL IN MINNESOTA. THE STATE ACCUSES JEWELL OF PURPOSELY MAKING THEIR PRODUCTS APPEALING TO KIDS TO HOOK THEM ON NICOTINE.

ALSO CRITICIZING THE STATE, SAYING MINNESOTA'S LAWSUIT WON'T HELP COMBAT UNDERAGE VAPING. >> IT'S RECOGNIZED THAT THERE WILL BE YOUTH USE BECAUSE THESE PRODUCTS ARE ALSO CAPABLE OF BEING USED BY PEOPLE THAT AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE USING THEM. >> MIREYA VILLARREAL LAWYER DAVID BERNICK, CLAIMS THE INCREASE IN YOUTH VAPING WAS DUE TO MORE ADULTS USING THE PRODUCTS, RESULTING IN MORE KIDS GETTING MORE ACCESS TO THEM. THE CDC SAYS MORE THAN 2.5 MILLION MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLERS USE E-CIGARETTES NATIONWIDE. LAST YEAR, THE NIH SAYS VAPING CAN LEAD TO INCREASED RISK FOR ADDICTION TO OTHER DRUGS. >> REALLY WANT TO FOCUS ON THAT YOUNG ADULT GROUP AND TEENAGERS ,OF COURSE, BECAUSE THAT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RISK CATEGORY. >> IN A STATEMENT, JEWELRIES BONDING WEDNESDAY SAYING, QUOTE, NOTHING THE STATE OR ITS OUTSIDE LAW FIRM IS PRESENTING TO THE JURY IS NEW.

OUR TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT GIO BENITEZ HAS THIS STORY. >> TRAVELER AND HIS STOLEN LUGGAGE REUNITED. >> I HAD ABOUT THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF STUFF THERE.

I WAS LOOKING AT IT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND IS STILL SAYING, GRANDMA, OKAY, THIS IS NOT LOOKING TOO GOOD. START GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS AS HE KEPT TRACKING IT. >> HE SAW THE BAG MOVING NEAR THE AIRPORT A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER. HE CALLED POLICE AND WAS ABLE TO PINPOINT EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS. >> THE SUSPECT ARRESTED. >> HE HAD MY SHIRT ON , MY JEANS AND MY SOCKS. WE'VE SEEN OTHER EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE FINDING THEIR LUGGAGE THE SAME WAY. MATT MAYNE'S TRAVELED TO EUROPE WITH HIS FAMILY, BUT THEIR LUGGAGE NEVER MADE IT. >> THE AIRLINE WAS COMPLETELY UNABLE TO TRACK MY BAGS. TURNS OUT HE THOUGHT TO PUT AN AIR TAG IN THEIR LUGGAGE WAS ABLE TO SHOW THEM ON MY PHONE EXACTLY WHERE TO LOOK IN THE BOX. >> HERE'S HOW IT WORKS. >> IT USUALLY USES BLUETOOTH TO CONNECT TO YOUR PHONE, BUT LET'S SAY IT STAYS BEHIND IN CALIFORNIA WHILE YOU'RE TRAVELING IN NEW YORK . APPLE SAYS IT THEN USES SIGNALS FROM OTHER IPHONES AROUND IT TO TELL YOU WHERE IT CAN BE FOUND. >> IF YOU'RE CHECKING LUGGAGE, IF YOU'RE NOT PUTTING AN AIR TAG IN IT, YOU'RE PUTTING YOURSELF AT HUGE RISK. >> THE POINTS GUY, BRIAN KELLY SAYS HE PUTS A TRACKER ON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING, BUT SAYS THAT'S NOT ALL HE RECOMMENDS. >> MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR BAG AT CHECK-IN, PREFERABLY WITH THE TAG ON IT. SO IF IT GOES MISSING, NOT ONLY CAN YOU POINT TO YOUR ERROR TAG AND SAY, OH, IT'S AT THIS AIRPORT, YOU CAN GIVE THEM AN EXACT PICTURE OF WHAT THE BAG LOOKS LIKE. HAVING THIS WILL INCREASE THE CHANCES OF YOU GETTING YOUR BAGGAGE BACK IN A TIMELY MANNER. >> HELPFUL TIP THERE ARE. THANKS TO YOU FOR THAT. >> STILL MUCH MORE TO GET TO. COMING UP, YOU'LL LIKELY REMEMBER THE FORMULA EIGHT SQUARED WAS SQUARE EQUALS C SQUARED. TWO HIGH SCHOOLERS ARE APPLYING IT IN A REVOLUTIONARY WAY. THEY TELL US ABOUT THE POSSIBLE MATHEMATICAL DISCOVERY IT JUST MADE. THE NEXT PROTESTERS TAKE TO THE STREETS IN EL SALVADOR DEMANDING FREEDOM. THEYI'M JAMES LONGMAN. WHEREVER THE STORY IS , WE'LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU'RE STREAMING "ABC NEWS LIVE". WELCOME BACK. WE'RE TRACKING SEVERAL HEADLINES AROUND THE WORLD. WILDFIRE RAGE TO A NATIONAL PARK IN THAILAND. EYEWITNESS FOOTAGE, PICTURES SHOW THE STEEP MOUNTAIN ABOUT TWO HOURS AWAY FROM BANGKOK COMPLETELY CONSUMED BY FLAMES. LOCALS SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT MANY RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA, BUT WILD ANIMALS WOULD BE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE FIRE . AUTHORITIES HAVE YET TO IDENTIFY EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THE BLAZE. A TERROR ATTACK INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY IN AZERBAIJAN AFTER A LAWMAKER WITH STRONG ANTI IRANIAN VIEWS WAS WOUNDED IN A GUN ATTACK IN HIS HOME. RELATIONS BETWEEN AZERBAIJAN AND IRAN, WHICH HAS A LARGE POPULATION ETHNIC AZERIS IN ITS NORTHWEST, HAVE BEEN STRAINED IN RECENT MONTHS AFTER PLANS TO OPEN FORMAL DIPLOMATIC TIES WITH ISRAEL WERE ANNOUNCED. >> HUNDREDS TOOK TO THE STREETS OF SAN SALVADOR ON TUESDAY TO DEMAND FREEDOM FOR THE RELATIVES WHO , ACCORDING TO THEM, WERE UNFAIRLY JAILED BY THE GOVERNMENT. STATE OF EMERGENCY. THE ORDER, WHICH HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR ALMOST A YEAR, HAS FAILED AT LEAST SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE, INCLUDING CHILDREN, ACCORDING TO THE U.N. HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT. THE ARRESTS APPEAR TO BE BASED ON UNSUBSTANTIATED INVESTIGATIONS, CREW PROFILES OF PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OR THE SOCIAL BACKGROUND OF DETAINEES. >> REMEMBER SITTING IN GEOMETRY CLASS AND LEARNING THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM? A SQUARED PLUS B SQUARED EQUALS C SQUARED, IF YOU REMEMBER THE FORMULA, BUT NOT ITS PURPOSE. YOU CERTAINLY ARE NOT ALONE, BUT TWO HIGH SCHOOLERS FROM NEW ORLEANS MAY HAVE FOUND A PROOF. JOINING US NOW ARE KELSEY JOHNSON AND TAKAYA JACKSON. >> LADIES, WELCOME TO THE SHOW. THANKS FOR HAVING US . ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S START WITH THE BASICS . WHILE YOUR PROOF IS NOT GONE THROUGH THE ACADEMIC PEER REVIEW PROCESS OR BEING CONFIRMED BY OTHER EXPERTS IN THE FIELD, IT ALSO HAS NOT BEEN DISMISSED OR DEBUNKED. EXPLAIN TO US WHAT A PROOF IS , BECAUSE I REMEMBER AND I TO BE HONEST, I ACTUALLY LOVED ALGEBRA, BUT I WAS TERRIBLE GEOMETRY. SO LET'S JUST START WITH THE BASICS OF WHAT A PROOF IS AND HOW LONG YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT. >> WELL, BASICALLY A PROOF IS JUST AN EXPLANATION OF WHY. THE THING IS , FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE IF YOU WANTED TO PROVE WHY SOMETHING IS THAT BASICALLY WE'RE NOT SAYING THAT WE CREATED THE THEOREM. WE'RE JUST MAKING A NEW WAY TO GET TO THE ANSWER OF EXPLAINING WHY IT'S BECAUSE THESE WERE EQUALS C SQUARED. >> SO IT'S AN EXPLANATION. >> AND KELSEY, LADIES PRESENTED YOUR PROOF THAT THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY ANNUAL SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE TAKE US BACK TO THAT DAY AND HOW YOUR PREPARED. WELL, THE DAY BEFORE THE ACTUAL CONFERENCE WE HAD, WE ACTUALLY WENT TO GEORGIA TECH AND DID A DRIVER GO ON. SO WE KIND OF WENT OVER THE WHOLE PRESENTATION AND IT WAS REALLY NERVE RACKING THE FIRST TIME WE FIRST STARTED GOING OVER IT. BUT THEN ONCE WE STARTED KIND OF GETTING SOME PRACTICE IN AND FIXING THE WAY WE SAY CERTAIN THINGS, IT ALL STARTED FLOWING TOGETHER. >> CAN YOU HUMOR US ? BECAUSE AGAIN, I'M NOT A NUMBERS PERSON. I'VE ALWAYS PREFERRED WORDS A LITTLE BIT MORE . BUT CAN YOU GIVE US A SENSE TO TRY TO BREAK IT DOWN FOR, YOU KNOW, MAYBE ON A THIRD GRADE LEVEL? IF THAT WOULD WORK OF LIKE WHAT THIS PROOF IS ? >> YOU WANT TO BREAK IT DOWN? YEAH, I CAN. I CAN. PRETTY MUCH BREAK IT DOWN. SO BASICALLY WE TAKE A RIGHT TRIANGLE, WHICH IS KIND OF LIKE THIS. >> GOT IT. AND WE PUT HER GROOVE, WE PUT IT INTO A CIRCLE AND THEN WE BASICALLY USE THE TRIANGLE THAT WE HAVE HERE AND USED WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT LIKE THE OPPOSITE SIDES, TRIGONOMETRY, TO PROVE THAT A GROUP HAS THESE GREAT C SQUARE. SO WHAT WE DID, WHAT WAS ORIGINAL IS TO USE TRIG SYMMETRY AND PROVE THIS. >> OKAY, SO YOU ARE BOTH 17 YEARS OLD AND I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT WHAT I WAS DOING OR NOT DOING AT 17 . HOW DID YOU GET SO FASCINATED? >> HOW DID HOW DID YOUR JOURNEY LEAD YOU HERE? WELL, IT ALL STARTED WITH A MATH CONTEST THAT WAS HELD AT OUR SCHOOL. AND THERE WAS A BONUS QUESTION LIKE ABOUT LIKE DEALING WITH A NEW PROOF OR MAKING A NEW PROOF OF PYTHAGORAS. SO AND THEN WE BOTH ACTUALLY DID THE WE WERE THE ONLY TWO AT OUR SCHOOL TO DO THE BONUS QUESTION. SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE GREW AN INTEREST IN IT. IT WAS THROUGH THE COMPETITION THAT I WAS INTERESTED IN IT. AND THEN AFTER WE DID THE BONUS QUESTION, OUR TEACHER REACHED OUT TO US AND WAS LIKE, WOW, WE ALL CAN REALLY PRESENT THIS ACTUAL MATH CONFERENCE. AND THEN THAT'S HOW WE STARTED MAKING THIS INTO LIKE A REAL THING. >> SO IF THIS IS VALIDATED AND IS A REAL THING, WHAT'S WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE TWO OF YOU? AND WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN? >> WHAT'S NEXT AFTER WE GET IT PEER REVIEWED? AND IF IT IS APPROVED, WE WOULD PUBLISH IT IN A UNDERGRADUATE JOURNAL AND THEN IT WOULD BE CEMENTED IN PRETTY MUCH MATH IN THE MATH WORLD . YEP, THRILLING. AND THEN I GUESS WE GO ON TO COLLEGE. >> WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? I MEAN, YOU TALKED ABOUT GOING TO COLLEGE. DO YOU ALREADY HAVE A PLAN FOR FOUR MAJOR AND LIFE AFTER COLLEGE? I WANT TO MAJOR IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING AND I'M MAJORING IN BIOCHEMISTRY. ALL RIGHT, CALCIUM. NICHI, WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU. KEEP US POSTED. THANKS FOR COMING ON THE SHOW. THANKS FOR HAVING US . YES, AND STILL TO COME, SHE'S WORKED WITH SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN MUSIC, BUT NOW A GRAMMY NOMINATED HARPIST IS LOOKING BACK FOR INSPIRATION. HOW SHE IS USING HER LATEST ALBUM TO HONOR A TRUE TRAILBLAZER. >> SATURDAY ON "ABC NEWS LIVE". I FAVORITE. WELCOME BACK. GRAMMY NOMINATED HARPIST BRANDY YOUNG AMERICAN HAS TAKEN THE INSTRUMENT TO NEW PLACES, WORKING WITH ARTISTS LIKE JOHN LEGEND, DRAKE AND LAURYN HILL. AND HER BRAND NEW ALBUM, BRAND NEW LIFE HONORS THE LEGACY OF TRAILBLAZER DOROTHY ASHBY. >> I DISCOVERED DOROTHY ASHBY REALLY BEFORE KNOWING THAT IT WAS HER SIDCUP I GREW UP LISTENING TO HIP HOP AND HEARING ROCK AND FEEL SMOOTH AND LISTENING TO STEVIE WONDER'S SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE. IF ITS MAGIC WAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS ON THAT RECORD , IF IT'S MAGIC ,I DIDN'T KNOW WHO I WAS LISTENING TO ON THE HARP. I WAS LISTENING TO IT BECAUSE I LIKED IT ONCE I GOT TO HEAR HER OWN MUSIC. IT WAS MUSIC OF THE TIME. SHE WAS A BLACK WOMAN PLAYING THIS INSTRUMENT THAT WAS REALLY RARE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND REALLY RARE FOR A BLACK PERSON TO BE PLAYING. FINALLY, I HAD AN EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE THAT LOOKED LIKE ME WITH A REPRESENTATION WAS EVERYTHING I REALLY WANTED HARP TO BELONG EVERYWHERE AND SHOT WITH THAT. >> MY FIRST TOP 40 RECORDING EXPERIENCE WAS WITH THE PRODUCER, RYAN LESLIE, WHO WAS PRODUCING CASSIE'S FIRST ALBUM A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER. I WAS ABLE TO RECORD ON COMMON'S RECORD FINDING FOREVER BEYONCE'S HOMECOMING DOCUMENTARY. I JUST FELT LIKE IT WAS SO SPECIAL THAT THEY CHOSE THAT SONG, BRAND NEW LIFE MEANS A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS. WE'RE BRINGING NEW LIFE TO SOME OF DOROTHY ASHBY'S MUSIC THAT HAS NEVER BEEN RECORDED. WE'RE BRINGING NEW LIFE TO SOME OF HER MUSIC THAT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY RECORDED. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO USHERING BRAND NEW MUSIC. ONCE WE HAD THE CORE OF THE RECORD LAID DOWN, I REALLY THOUGHT, WHO LOVES DOROTHY ASHBY? WITHOUT EVEN THINKING TWICE? PETE ROCK COMES TO MIND FOR HIP-HOP PRODUCERS. >> WHAT WAS SO ATTRACTIVE ABOUT DORTHY'S MUSIC WAS THE WAY SHE PLAYED THE HARP WHEN THE 70S CAME. IT WAS A NEW ERA OF MUSIC WAS THE FUNK SOUL. SO SHE INCORPORATED THAT WITH HER HEART PLAYING. I WANTED TO TRY SOMETHING NEW LIKE FUSION, JAZZ, HIP-HOP BEATS. AND SHE WAS A PERFECT BLUEPRINT TO EXPERIMENT WITH BEING A BLACK FEMALE HARPIST. PLAYING THIS RARE INSTRUMENT IN GENRES OUTSIDE TRADITIONAL SETTINGS CAN BE VERY ISOLATING. SO TO HAVE A BLACK WOMAN LIKE ALICE COLTRANE, LIKE DOROTHY ASHBY, COME BEFORE ME, BUT ALSO THINKING ABOUT THE ROADBLOCKED THEY FACE, I'M SURE THAT THERE WERE SO MANY WALLS THAT THEY COULDN'T BREAK THROUGH THAT BECAUSE OF THEM. I'M ABLE TO TODAY BRANDY YOUNGER'S NEW ALBUM, BRAND NEW LIFE IS OUT FRIDAY, APRIL 7TH. AND THAT IS OUR SHOW FOR TONIGHT. I'M LINSEY DAVIS. "ABC NEWS LIVE" IS HERE FOR YOU ALL NIGHT WITH THE LATEST NEWS ,CONTEXT AND ANALYSIS. OF COURSE, YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND US ON HULU, THE ABC NEWS AND ON ABCNEWS.COM. >> HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
