good morning, america. breaking overnight, fight on a flight. >> hey, bud. you do that to me and i'll knock you flat. >> a passenger and an airline employee almost coming to blows after a mother of two is reduced to tears. >> you can't use violence with baby. give me back my stroller please. >> what set off this latest chaotic scene on board an aircraft. passengers speaking out this morning and the airline's response. nearing a milestone. president trump closing in on 100 days in office. so, what about his promises? >> what follows is my 100-day action plan to make america great again. >> as he gets ready to tackle tax reform, what a looming government shutdown could mean for his plans. plus, trump's spot on that big

benchmark. >> a lot of good things are happening. thank you, folks. inside the cabin, abc news giving you an exclusive look where a tennessee teacher and his 15-year-old student were found in the remote california wilderness. how they managed to evade police. the teen now reunited with her family. and florida wildfires, raging flames coming dangerously close to these houses. residents forced to flee their homes. the intense battle to protect property and find an arsonist on the loose. good morning. as we come on the air vice president mike pence is over in australia apparently trying to mend some fences with the prime minister there. a major ally who as you may remember had a pretty contentious phone call with president trump a few weeks ago. >> this comes as the president

is barreling toward the big landmark, his 100th day in office. can he fulfill some major campaign promises before then? we're talking health care and tax reform. we're going to have much more on all the developing political stories coming up. we start here this morning with a story that broke overnight. a fresh confrontation on board an air plain going viral yet again. in this new video you can see a young mother toddler in arms weeping after a confrontation with a flight attendant. >> then another passenger, this man, look at him, leaps into the fray loudly arguing with that same american airlines crew member. all this comes, of course, after that infamous video of a united passenger being dragged off a flight for refusing to give up his seat he paid for. abc's phillip mena is covering it all from our l.a. bureau. for us this morning. hi, phillip. >> reporter: hi, paula. good morning. earlier this month it was united airlines in hot water for that video of that passenger who was dragged out of his seat. this morning, it is american s airlines feeling the heat after an intense altercation caught on video. >> hey, bud, hey, bud.

you do that to me, and i'll knock you flat. >> you stay out of this. >> reporter: this video recorded by a passenger in the moments just after an intense confrontation between a mother traveling with two young children and an american airlines flight attendant. >> you can't use violence with baby. just give me back my stroller. please. >> reporter: witnesses say the flight attendant nearly struck one of the children as he was trying to remove the stroller from the overhead bin. >> very upset and grabbed it and just pulled it, yanked it off violently and stormed off the plane with it. >> reporter: within moments tony fierro, a fellow passenger, stands up to demand answers from the cabin crew. >> what's the guy's name that did that? with the stroller? >> reporter: when the flight attendant returned he and fierro immediately clashed. >> hey, bud, hey, bud, you do that to me, and i'll knock you flat. >> you stay out of this. >> come on, try it, try it, try it. >> why don't you. >> try it, you get the hell off me.

>> come on. bring it on. >> you don't know what the story is. >> i don't care what the story is. no one hurts a baby. >> a baby almost got hurt. that just fired me up. >> reporter: american airlines says the crew member was removed immediately from duty adding, we are deeply sorry for the pain we have caused this passenger and her family. the actions of our team member captured here do not appear to reflect patience or empathy, two values necessary for customer care. the on board outrage comes just two weeks after united airlines publicly apologized for this video of a passenger bloodied as he was forcibly removed from a flight. in addition to that apology, american airlines rebooked the woman and her family on another flight and upgraded them to first class. dan, paula. >> seemed to be traumatic for many of the people involved. phillip, thank you. we're going to move on now to the countdown to president trump's 100th day in office. >> the president is simultaneously calling this landmark, quote, ridiculous while seemingly racing to cram

in some major achievements including possibly a revived health care bill before the big day arrives. >> in a surprise move, the president now says he'll unveil for major new tax cuts. this coming wednesday, days before the 100th landmark. >> that landmark but all this is playing out against the backdrop of a looming government shutdown and matt dowd is standing by here, but we're going to start with abc's david wright in washington for us this morning. hi, david. >> reporter: hi, paula. hi, dan. that 100-day milestone is fast approaching, but the president is now lowering expectations. his big ambitions, bogged down in the swamp he vowed to drain. president trump on his first president trump on his first visit to the treasury department with a big announcement this week. >> we will be having a big announcement wednesday having to do with tax reform. >> reporter: but with his tax reform effort barely begun, and the government now under threat of a shutdown, it looks unlikely he'll get done all he promised in his gettysburg address. >> the new government of, by and

for the people. believe me. >> reporter: that's where back in october trump laid out what he called his contract with the american voter. >> what follows is my 100-day action plan to make america great again. >> reporter: that speech outlined some big ideas to reform government. >> we're going to have the wall, mexico is going to pay for the wall. we're going to suspend immigration from terror prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. >> reporter: and america's place in the world. >> i will direct my secretary of the treasury to label china a currency manipulator. >> reporter: some items trump has fulfilled including a new supreme court justice to replace antonin scalia. a tougher line on immigration. and a threat to cut federal funding to so-called sanctuary cities, but on other promises -- >> the repeal and replace obamacare act. >> reporter: -- he's fallen well short of the mark.

>> remember this, we had no democrat support so now we'll go for tax reform. >> reporter: now as he approaches the 100-day mark, he calls that benchmark a ridiculous standard. >> a lot of good things are happening. thank you, folks. >> meaning you'll get a health care vote next week? >> it doesn't matter. next week doesn't matter. >> reporter: one week left before he hits that 100-day mark. not a single major piece of legislation passed. the president clearly has a few more items that he's racing to get done, but it's safe to say he's finding that governing is a bit tougher than running a business or a campaign. dan, paula. >> yeah, certainly it. quick question for you. want to talk about a small diplomatic victory. president trump quietly negotiating with egypt for the release of an american aid worker who had been in prison for the last three years. can you tell us how it all went down? >> reporter: well, this is aya hijazi. you see her there in the oval office. she and her husband american aid worker they ran something called the belady foundation, a haven

for street children in cairo been in prison since may of 2014 on trafficking charges. no evidence ever presented against them, but the president and his team worked quietly for weeks negotiating with the egyptian president el sisi. and they finally sent a u.s. government plane to fly them home. >> and the president saying there was no quid pro quo in exchange for her as well. >> sitting in the chair a short while beforehand. let's bring in abc news political consultant matt dowd and, matt, good morning. >> good morning. >> thanks for coming on. let's get back to this 100-day thing. how important is this landmark really? aren't there presidents who didn't get much done in the first 100 days and went on to get a lot done? >> it's really a pr standard that franklin delano roosevelt established. he was the first one to establish this because obviously in the midst of the great depression he wanted to convey some level of confidence. it's important in that regard. there's no correlation or relationship between a success of a first 100 days and the success of a presidency or a

re-election. jimmy carter and george herbert walker bush had great first 100 days and both ended up losing their re-election fights in the end. it's important it's a pr standard and the funny thing is, donald trump is actually -- is one that set the bar on this. i think he talked about it 17 or 18 different times about how successful his first 100 days was going to be and now as we've seen from his communication the last 24 hours he calls it a ridiculous standard that he actually set over the last six months. >> he seemed to establish those president obama parameters to begin with. talking about a government shutdown looming but president trump is saying that a lot can happen. he's not only going to prevent the government from shutting down but unveil tax reform and a new health care plan. is that possible in the next week? >> it's very possible that he will unveil it. it's almost impossible that it will actually happen. i think the pressure is on. he tried this with health care and the funny thing is as he has the republican senate that he

has, the republican house that he has and he's been unable to get anything through that, so i think he's going to unveil it to some big fanfare but the chances of that happening are small. >> quickly let's talk about foreign affairs. we got at the top of the show vice president mike pence in australia apparently trying to smooth things over with a major ally after a contentious phone call with their leader and ours shortly after the inauguration. as we approach the 100-day mark how is trump doing on foreign affairs? >> when you look at the vice president usually they go to see dead leaders. right? vice presidents usually are sent to funerals as opposed to live leaders. i think that if donald trump is the caffeine of the administration, mike pence is the valium of the administration which is, let's everybody calm down. it's all going to be okay. don't worry about it. we're going to maintain this. i think this is what donald trump is going to ultimately struggle with through his presidency. he ran on dealing with the economy. we haven't heard a word one about the economy in the last month because of all of these

foreign policy issues. that's what i think is going to dog him for the next year. >> matt, thank you. we like to view the division of labor as paula is the caffeine. i'm the valium. >> perfect. >> he's the calm one. >> what's ron? what's ron? >> ron is a victor of both. depends on the day. depends how much caffeine he's had. matt, thank you. really appreciate it. >> thanks, matt. we move on to another major story this morning. that rescued teenager elizabeth thomas who is said to be resting this morning after reuniting with her family six weeks after she was allegedly kidnapped by her former teacher and this morning we're getting an exclusive tour of the cabin where that nationwide manhunt came to an end, and abc's eva pilgrim is in columbia, tennessee, with the latest on all of this. eva, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, elizabeth is now back in tennessee, but this morning we're learning more about those days before investigators were able to find her. this morning, a look inside the remote california cabin where a tennessee teacher and his

15-year-old former student were finally found. 50-year-old tad cummins in fbi custody and facing federal charges after allegedly kidnapping elizabeth thomas and going on the run for over a month. >> the food i gave them. >> reporter: abc news getting an exclusive tour of that cabin. inside plywood walls, leftover food sitting on bare floors, along with survival gear, toilet paper and very little else. >> search warrant papers. >> reporter: these documents left behind by investigators listing some of the items seized as evidence. bed rolls, socks, beer cans. the two disappearing march 13th from columbia, tennessee. an affidavit saying the pair stayed at a super motel 8 in oklahoma city before going to that walmart where they were caught on surveillance video. days later, the pair moving to a super 8 in guymon, oklahoma, before arriving at this northern california cabin approximately

two weeks ago. the two temporarily moving on to a nearby commune but were not accepted into the group. >> there were all kinds of indications that something a little strange going on. >> reporter: the two returning to the cabin where caretaker griffin barry says he saw an amber alert poster and called authorities. surrounded, cummins surrendered without incident. elizabeth and her family are now in a safe locate. we are told she is comfortable and resting. her family telling me they are overjoyed to have her bak home. guys. >> eva, we know you've been reporting on this from the very beginning. great work, eva. joining us from washington is abc news consultant brad garrett, a former fbi special agent. brad, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so, brad, the pair, they were found in a remote area in california. was this a well-planned attempt to get off the grid in your estimation? >> no, in fact, they're lucky they didn't get caught before a month. paula, look at this. he goes, he stays in mainstream hotels. he goes into a walmart.

when we saw that walmart video, i said to myself, they're going to get caught because he's making every mistake by touching the public. touching stores, touching hotels, et cetera, so this doesn't surprise me. >> from your personal experience how do you balance the need to get information out of a victim who's been through a traumatic situation with the need to give that person time and space to heal? >> the key, dan, is you have to let them talk at length before you ever interview them. whether it be a 15-year-old and i've interviewed literal dozens of sexual assault victims, you have to let them go up, go down emotionally. once you get them to a smooth spot have them walk through what happened. the difficult questions like in any interview you obviously wait till the end. >> and she's still a child. you don't want to put the words in her mouth for her, so you have to let her tell her own story, correct? >> correct, paula, but you also don't want to wait to interview her. because there's a thing where

statements will change as more people talk to you. so the real key is they need a talented officer or agent to talk to her that's interviewed kids of this age that have been traumatized. >> all right, brad, thanks for your analysis. this morning. we do want to move now to newly released video of a tragic accident, a police officer in florida fatally shooting a woman during a training exercise last summer. that officer is now fighting to get back on the police force, and abc's adrienne bankert has more. >> reporter: in this newly released police surveillance video of this august shooting death, you see mary knowlton, the 73-year-old former librarian step in front of the crowd. it's her turn to take part in a shoot, don't shoot scenario. playing the armed assailant is punta gorda police officer lee coel, who at this moment has no idea the gun he's holding is loaded with real bullets. this is supposed to be a role playing exercise like the one seen here in these pictures from facebook, a police training demonstration for gun owners,

but right here when coel starts firing knowlton falls to the ground. her husband right there watching it all unfold. >> went and tried to save her life, and i was just in shock. i just didn't know what to do. >> reporter: at first the crowd in the police station parking lot isn't sure what's happening until they see her bleeding. >> he turned her over, and she looked horrible. you know, blood all over the place, and i thought, oh, my god. >> reporter: coel and the other officers run toward her. coel seen removing his mask as he realizes what just happened. officers scrambling contacting paramedics. knowlton pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. >> lee coel was not responsible for miss knowlton's death. >> reporter: an investigation by the florida department of law enforcement shows no evidence that coel intended to shoot or kill knowlton. and coel is pleading not guilty to felony manslaughter charges and was fired from his job, but he believes he's being unfairly singled out. the chief of police was charged with negligence and indefinite paid administrative leave. we'll find out what happens.

>> that's really a sad story. thank you very much. thank you, adrienne. let's check the weather now and get it out to rob marciano who is in new york's central park for earth day. he's also tracking severe weather down south. hey, rob. >> hey, good morning, guys. what better way to celebrate earth day than to be in central park. big day todabig day today the mr science happening new york city and central park west and washington, d.c. and thousands across the world. there are storms marching across the mid section of the country. damage in oklahoma city wind gusting to 70 miles per hour taking you on trees and power lines. now the storms are moving into tennessee. the severe weather threat stretches from birmingham to jackson mississippi, and across the southeast. it will develop into a coastal low as it slows down tonight and tomorrow with the storms in atlanta and off the coast of the carolinas, heavy rain in mid

welcome back, everyone. in today's "weekend download" obsession with beauty, it can become a sickness. look no further than this video of young girls uttering the words they may have heard their mother say. >> i would be happy if my legs were skinnier. >> my thighs are too chunky. >> my eyelashes aren't long enough. >> i hate -- >> i hate -- >> my stomach. >> i hate my hips. >> oh, that is so hard to hear, and i'm sure it strikes a chord

with so many moms out there. joining us northwestern university professor renee engeln, author of the new book "beauty sick." renee, we want to thank you so much for being here. that was powerful video we just saw. you say our obsession with our looks is hurting girls, it's hurting women. can you explain to us the symptoms of beauty sickness and why is it a problem? >> absolutely. beauty sickness is what happens when you get so worried about how you look that it takes time and energy and emotional resources away from things that are more important to you. it's the result of living in a culture that teaches women the most important thing they can be is beautiful or sexy and all that focus on appearance leaves a lot of girls and women feeling pretty awful about their own bodies. >> yeah, especially as we age and when the emphasis is on the external. you say the dangers of beauty sickness not just limited to women, but what are those dangers? >> the biggest danger is that you get so worried about your appearance that it leaves you less able to engage with the world around you, but beyond that, falling short of that unrealistic beauty ideal we see

so much of can also lead to depression, anxiety and eating disorders. >> and please tell me there is a cure for this. what can we do about beauty sickness? >> one of the things we can do is to change the way we talk to our little girls. instead of telling them all the time, you're so pretty, you're so cute we can talk about all the other parts of them that matter so much more than how they look, and we can change our conversations about ourselves. getting rid of the negative body talk, all the disparaging things we say about how we look or other women look. the most important thing we can do is to remember that our bodies are not just for being looked at. they're for doing things. they're for making our way out in the world and making changes in this world. there's a lot of work to be done out there. too much work for so many women to feel so stuck in and distracted by the mirror. >> great advice, though, for our kids and for our daughters especially, but you are beautiful on the inside, renee. thank you. i want to thank you for writing this book. read it. it's a grade receipt for all the parents out there.
