7:07 am
this as hamas says they are willing to accept a new cease fire proposal. the deal, a different agreement than the one proposed by israel, includes a permanent end of military operations and a withdraw from inside gaza. israel now reviewing the plan, but has yet to agree to these terms. prime minister netanyahu saying hamas' counter offer is, quote, far from israel's core demands which included a six week cease fire and releasing some palestinian prisoners for up to 33 hostages. despite the uncertainty, crowds in gaza celebrated hamas' announcement. while in tel aviv today, relatives of hostages demonstrated in front of the u.s. consulate, demanding the israeli government accept the deal. do you worry that this operation in rafah will affect the efforts to release the hostages? >> yes. i'm afraid they will all be dead. >> reporter: the family of hersh goldberg-polin, who's been held

7:09 am
talks will now continue. the white house hopes a deal will be done. but the back and forth over the last 24 hours goes to show how fluid this situation is. all of this coming as the u.s. continues to urgently warn israel not to invade rafah. the president reiterating that message directly in his 30 minute phone call with prime minister netanyahu. the white house deeply concerned that an operation like this would only exacerbate the humanitarian crisis. so far netanyahu doesn't seem to be heeding biden and the u.s.' warning. the big question then what comes next? how does the administration respond? i have asked the white house if they would limit or condition aid to israel? their response was, let's see what happens. >> george: mary bruce, thanks. president networking the situation. donald trump back in the courtroom. criminal trial in manhattan. the judge warned him he could face jail time if he keeps violating the gag order. while the jury saw the ledger for the payment to stormy daniels. aaron katersky is at the courthouse. >> reporter: good morning,
7:10 am
george. stormy daniels will be the day's second witness. the defense is trying to limit the scope of her testimony saying this is a case about documents and records, but prosecutors say it is important to understand stormy daniels and donald trump had sex and that precipitated a $130,000 hush payment. for a tent time donald trump has been held in contempt and slapped with a fine. the judge conceded monetary fines have not and will not deter trump so the judge warned future violations could land trump in jail. >> this judge gives me a gag order and says you'll go to jail if you violate it. >> reporter: trump is on trial for falsifying business records to keep an adult film actress long denied claim of a second sexual encounter from voters before the 2016 election. his fixer at the time, michael cohen, wired daniels the money. when trump paid him back, trump illegally characterized the monthly reimbursements as legal expenses. for the first time the jury is seeing the invoices cohen sent that asked for payment pursuant
7:11 am
to the retainer agreement. did you see a retrainer agreement? the answer, i did not. jurors also saw the hand written notes that worked out the monthly reimbursements and the checks trumped signed while at the white house. on cross-examination, the defense asked him, payments to lawyers by the trump organization are legal expenses, right? the answer, yes, sir. prosecutors say they will rest after about two more weeks of testimony. that includes testimony from stormy daniel, who's going to tell the jury about a sexual encounter donald trump said never occurred. robin? >> robin: all right. thanks, aaron. now an american soldier arrested in russia. officials say staff sergeant gordon black was stationed in korea and traveled to russia on his own. he is accused of stealing. chief global affairs anchor martha raddatz is tracking this story from washington. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is a very different kind of detention. this soldier was in russia without permission, seemingly ignoring every warning to
7:12 am
americans about travel to russia, especially members of the military. even his mother told him not to go. this morning 35-year-old staff sergeant gordon black behind bars in the eastern russian city of vladavostar. arrested there late last week, charged with criminal misconduct. his mother telling us her son met a russian woman tending bar near his army base in south korea who was later deported back to russia. she said her son was visiting the woman when arrested, describing the relationship as volatile and the woman as someone she suspected might be a spy. >> i knew something was going to happen. i felt like he was being set up by her. that she caused the argument. that she started the fight. to get him arrested. >> reporter: russian television saying the charges against sergeant black are for beating a woman and stealing money from her.
7:13 am
sergeant black was on temporary leave while transferring from the u.s. base in south korea to an army base in texas. u.s. officials say the enlisted soldier traveled to russia on his own without permission. all americans have been warned to avoid travel there and advised to leave if they are already in russia. black's arrest also comes as the u.s. is working to receive and free wrongfully detained journalist evan gershgovich and business man paul wheelman. black's case very different from those. the u.s. is seeking to make sure black gets legal representation. a second american has been detained. this one a moscow court saying was found drunk and naked in public. rebecca? >> rebecca: thank you. we turn now to the new report on social security and medicare, warning the two programs could
7:14 am
become insolvent in a decade. >> this is a sobering new government report for the 70 million americans who rely on social security. the social security trust funds are set to be depleted by the year 2035. at that point the government would have to start cutting benefits that are critical to so many retirees and disabled americans. medicare is set to be depleted a year later in 2036. more than 67 million older americans rely on medicare for their melt insurance. good news, these deadlines are later than the previous forecast. congress would need to act to keep these programs solvent. this is already a key issue on the campaign trail. former president trump suggested he would be open to making entitlement cuts, president biden saying in a statement, i will always fight for america's seniors and prevent republicans from cutting social security or medicare. but the bottom line is it's been almost four decades since there

everybody can get "bits and piece" at bookstores and online. we'll see you later on "the view." >> there's an audible that i read on it. >> great. >> lara: getting it for my mama. >> robin: rebecca? >> rebecca: we are looking forward to that. time to reveal our gma book club pick for may. juju chang has more. this debut is being called a joy ride. >> it is. that's exactly what it is. you won't believe it started out as an inside joke for some friends. kind of like fan fiction for some history buffs. now critics are calling it one of the summer's hottest debuts. here's the big reveal. the ministry of time. tada! by kaliane bradley. i spoke with her about her whirl wind adventure. what happens when you pluck people from history and bring them to a modern world? it's a question kaliane bradley raises in her novel the ministry
8:25 am
of time an epic time travel spy thriller wrapped in a whirl wind romance. >> ministry of time in the book is drawing people from across history to test whether time travel actually works. i was really interested in exploring the idea of time travel, being brought forcibly from the past into the present day and forced to assimilate. they have to become good 21st century citizens. >> the novel centers around the dashing commander graham gore, who's transported from a doomed arctic expedition in 1847 to 21st century london and a female ministry worker designed to be his bridge. >> job of a bridge is to be literally that. bridge from the past t they live in the same house together, and the bridge's job is to monitor the expat to make sure that they're assimilating correctly and to report on them to the ministry. >> in the author's note, you wrote that you really only thought five people were going
8:26 am
to read this book. it was originally written as a kind of literary parlor game, a joke just to entertain a small group of friends who i'd met online because basically you became obsessed with polar exploration. >> absolutely. i became obsessed with one man in particular, commander graham gore, who was a real historical figure. >> so let's face it, you fell in love with a historical figure. >> yeah, i fell in love with a historical figure. i went to his wikipedia page. >> that's all it took, because there is that very dashing, slightly flirtatiously, smiling photograph of him. and there's a wonderful description of him as this rather competent, calm, very charismatic man. really? that was all it took. >> while readers will delight in watching graham discover modern eccentricities like spotify and motorbikes, they'll also see him reckon with his imperialist past. >> graham gore has to confront the ways that his choices have shaped contemporary britain. i also think that britain maybe isn't finished grappling with its imperial legacy. so what would it be like if history was literally in your house? how do you face up to it?
8:27 am
>> the other thing about the time travel is this idea that we can all change our future, that it's really a matter of action. for me, this is the most important thing about time travel. >> it's not about changing history. it's not about going back into the past. it's about the fact that we can change the future. decisions we make now are as powl as time travel. we can do it. >> yes, we can. thank you. we'll be right back. >> things you'll hear on jeopardy! masters. this season is aquinas. what is cuneiform? what's potty training? >> six all time greats. >> one incredible tournament. >> i'm the final boss. this is what i do. >> masters prime time event continues wednesday on abc. abc, home of the nba finals. always live abc seven news starts right now. good morning. >> i'm reggie aqui from abc seven mornings. and here's traffic with amanda. hi, reggie. >> we have an update to that solo motorcycle crash on the benicia-martinez bridge that was stopping traffic. the good news

8:33 am
with how i am, it's just so wonderful. >> she makes me feel like i'm able to express my creativity. >> reporter: and the kids wanted to send a special message to their favorite teacher. >> i love how you give us new opportunities to dance and all that. i just want to thank you for believing in me, believing my talent. >> reporter: that's why on this teacher appreciation day, ms. karen noble is our ray of sunshine.
