[THEME MUSIC] - Hi. I'm Diane Macedo. Today on ABC News Live, the scare in our nation's capital after a plane flew through restricted airspace. A sonic boom rattled Washington as fighter jets hit hypersonic speeds scrambling to intercept an unresponsive plane. The plane later crashed. What we're learning about why the pilot wasn't responding. [AUDIO LOGO] New video showing the close call after a Chinese warship cut in front of a US Navy destroyer. What it means just days after a close encounter between military planes. [AUDIO LOGO] The race for the White House-- almost all current Republican candidates campaigned in Iowa over the weekend, as former Vice President Pence and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie prepare to jump into the race. What it all means as we count down to 2024. [AUDIO LOGO] The emergency landing after an alleged unruly passenger broke free from restraints. What we're learning as he prepares to face a judge. [AUDIO LOGO] Joran van der Sloot is set to be extradited to the US. The prime suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway will face extortion and wire fraud charges when he could be on US soil. We begin with that scare over our nation's capital. Federal investigators are looking into what caused an unresponsive plane to fly through restricted airspace prompting fighter jets to scramble to intercept it. A sonic boom rattled the Washington DC area and briefly put the White House and Capitol on alert. Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz has the latest. [AUDIO LOGO] MARTHA RADDATZ: A sonic boom-- [SONIC BOOM] --heard across the nation's capital and neighborhoods beyond-- [SIRENS] --rattling homes-- [GUITAR] --and rattling nerves. WOMAN: It was very jarring. - We thought it was probably, an earthquake. MARTHA RADDATZ: The city on alert as a small civilian jet, a Cessna Citation, flew through restricted airspace. The pilot failing to respond to Air Traffic Control. The US military quickly launching six F-16 fighter jets from three bases to track the plane as it headed South into Virginia. The two F-16s over Washington reaching supersonic speed to catch up with the Cessna jet, creating that sonic boom that reverberated across the region. Within minutes, the Cessna jet was spotted at 34,000 feet over a remote area in Southwest Virginia. The pilot still unresponsive. The fighter jets firing flares to try to alert the civilian pilot, but to no avail. The pilot appearing to be passed out. The plane, likely out of fuel, taking a dive and crashing 10 minutes after the fighter jets intercepted it. Some aviation experts speculating that hypoxia, the lack of oxygen, may have incapacitated the pilot and passengers. MAN: Report of an aircraft that has crashed with a total of four passengers. MARTHA RADDATZ: According to the FAA, the Cessna jet with those four on board took off from an airport in Northeast Tennessee bound for MacArthur Airport on New York's Long Island. The flight path showing the plane reaching Long Island, but instead of landing, turning around, likely on autopilot, heading South before crashing in Virginia. - The New York Times spoke with the man who runs the company that owns the civilian jet. John Rumpel said, tragically, that in addition to the pilot, his daughter, his two-year-old granddaughter, and her nanny were aboard the plane. Diane. DIANE MACEDO: All right, Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz, thank you. And tensions are on the rise between the US and China after what the Navy calls a near collision between American and Chinese warships. The US military says this video shows the Chinese warship picking up speed and cutting in front of an American destroyer, missing it by just 150 yards. ABC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Ian Pannell has more. [AUDIO LOGO] IAN PANNELL: Increased tensions between the US and China after a close call at sea. A Chinese warship intercepting a pair of US and Canadian ships sailing through the Taiwan Strait. Video capturing the moment Saturday when the Chinese warship picks up speed, cutting in front of American destroyer USS Chung-Hoon by just 150 yards. The ship's wake coming dangerously close to the destroyer's bow. The captain of the Canadian vessel saying the Chinese sailors called the American ship telling them to move or there be a collision. The Americans asking the Chinese to stay clear of the ship, but having to suddenly slow down in order to avoid a crash. The US responding, accusing the Chinese ship of acting in an "unsafe manner" and violating the maritime "rules of the road." China's defense minister firing back, saying the best way to avoid another close call is for all countries, especially their military aircraft and warships, to refrain from wandering around other country's territorial waters and airspace. This incident the latest to raise tensions. Just last week, a Chinese fighter jet coming within 400 feet of a US reconnaissance plane over the South China Sea. And earlier this year, the US shooting down a Chinese spy balloon flying over the US. But National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on CNN emphasizing the need for diplomacy between the two nations. - And we believe there is nothing inevitable about some kind of conflict or Cold War between the US and China. IAN PANNELL: Diane, overnight, the State Department's most senior diplomat for East Asia landing in Beijing. This is the fourth high-level meeting between the Chinese and the US in as many weeks, with CIA Director Burns secretly going to China in May. But make no mistake, the tensions are very real. As is the need to avoid any military clash or accident between the two. Diane. DIANE MACEDO: Ian Pannell, thank you. Let's bring in Senior Pentagon Reporter Luis Martinez for more. Luis, China suggesting the US warship shouldn't have been in the area at all. So how is the Pentagon responding to that? - Diane, we're talking about the Taiwan Strait. That's the body of water that divides mainland China from Taiwan, and those are international waters. So the United States Navy constantly sends US Navy ships through that body of water to reaffirm that these are, in fact, international waters and not part of or-- and near those territorial waters of China, as you just heard in Ian's package. So what the United States is doing here is they are reaffirming that they will continue to do these kinds of missions in the future. But again, when you hear this language from the Chinese, being emphatic that it's the United States that's being provocative, I think it's the opposite. Because as you see here from this video, that the United States actually released this video just to make the point of how close that Chinese ship was in cutting off the American ship as it made its way through the Taiwan Strait. DIANE MACEDO: Now, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is calling for more communication with China. How is the US trying to decrease tensions? - Diane, the United States has been very emphatic that they want to maintain a military to military relationship with China to avoid any incidents that could spiral out of control, as Austin has said repeatedly this week. He says when they spiral out of control, it's because there is lack of contact between two militaries. And so the United States and China have had very little military contact over the last two years. And what Austin and other US officials are trying to do is try to reestablish that. Well, they tried that at that Security Conference in Singapore that Austin is attending. He reached out to the Chinese beforehand to get a meeting with his Chinese counterpart, and they rebuffed him. And instead, he walked over to him at a dinner for the security leaders attending this conference and he was able to shake his hand. But later, you heard Austin say, "a handshake and the pleasantries are not enough. What we need is meaningful contact." And that's what you're seeing from the United States. They're going to try to reaffirm that. Right now, you're seeing a junior State Department official actually arrive in China for some working level meetings to try to maintain those contacts. But we're seeing in Chinese state media that they're kind of downplaying the significance of those meetings. - Now, this is the latest in what the US calls a series of aggressive actions by China. How concerning is that pattern? - It's very concerning to officials here at the Pentagon, Diane. They say that this is probably, not just some rogue pilots or rogue ship commanders. That this is being done with coordination from the very top within the Chinese political leadership. And what we're seeing is these patterns. We saw just last week, the video of the Chinese jet fighter streaking across the path of the American reconnaissance plane. You saw the American plane actually flying through that turbulence as it was shaking through the cockpit. Before that, we'd seen another incident back in December where another jet fighter actually came within 10 feet of another similar reconnaissance plane. So it's this whole pattern that we're seeing in the air and also in the sea. Especially in the South China Sea where China has made these territorial claims of areas that are really international waters. And so the United States is trying to reaffirm that by sending American planes and ships through those areas. But all in all, what we're seeing here is an increase in this pattern so far DIANE MACEDO: All right, Senior Pentagon Reporter Luis Martinez. Thanks, Luis. - Thanks, Diane. [THEME MUSIC] - The field of Republican challengers for the White House is set to expand significantly. Former White House-- former Vice President, I should say, Mike Pence and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie are both expected to announce they are running for president. Meanwhile, the other Republican candidates are hitting the campaign trail in Iowa. Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott has the latest. [AUDIO LOGO] RACHEL SCOTT: Nearly, the entire Republican field crossing paths in Iowa this weekend making their pitch to voters-- - If we choose another path, we can restore American greatness. - America is not a land of oppression. America is the land of opportunity. RACHEL SCOTT: --as a crowded Republican primary field looks to only be getting bigger. Former Vice President Mike Pence hopping on the back of a Harley at the annual Roast and Ride. Teasing his presidential announcement on Wednesday. - We thought Iowa would be the best place to make our intentions known. RACHEL SCOTT: Pence now preparing to run against his former boss, Donald Trump. - Most people know me as vice president, as a loyal lieutenant standing beside the president. I hope, should we enter the race, that people get a better sense of who we are as a family. RACHEL SCOTT: And calling out the former president on his praise of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un. - Whether it's my former running mate or anyone else, we should-- no one should ever be commending or congratulating the brutal dictator of North Korea. RACHEL SCOTT: Trump is still the clear front runner in this race, but he was notably absent. - Governor DeSantis, what message does that send that you're here and Donald Trump isn't? - I'm just happy to be here. I think the folks here are great. And we've enjoyed our visit, so we'll be back a lot. RACHEL SCOTT: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pitching Florida as a model for the country. - We need to dispense with the culture of losing. Florida shows it can be done. RACHEL SCOTT: Others making it clear, it's time for a change. - Does the party need to be headed in a new direction? - I think the party needs a new generational leader. We've lost the last seven out of eight popular votes for president and that's nothing that we should be proud of. - My crowd's getting bigger. The enthusiasm's getting higher. I'm just gonna keep doing what I'm doing. - When you're having these national leaders, they're saying, "We need a different leader than Donald Trump," that's a pretty powerful message. - Diane, as the front runner in this race, former President Donald Trump playing by his own rules. He's been largely avoiding those large cattle calls with all those candidates. Sources tell us, he may even skip out on the first presidential debate in August. But he's already ramping up his attacks on his soon-to-be rival Chris Christie saying, he's wasting his time. Diane. DIANE MACEDO: All right, Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott, thank you. And an investigation is underway after a train disaster in India killed at least 275 people and injured more than 1,000. Indian officials say they are looking into whether a packed passenger train collided with a freight train because of a signal failure. Foreign Correspondent James Longman has more. Hi, James. - Hi, Diane. India's railway minister has blamed a signal failure for that horrific crash that killed 275 people and injured more than 1,000. This is one of the deadliest crashes ever. and, In fact, the deadliest for more than 20 years. A passenger train slamming into a stationary heavy goods train because it was traveling on the wrong tracks. Carriages then flew through the air striking a third train that was going in the opposite direction. An inquiry has now been launched to work out if this was human error or if there was a maintenance issue. millions of people travel on India's railways every year. it's one of the largest networks in the world. Although, it is in need of quite a lot of improvement. Prime Minister Modi has said that if there are individuals responsible, they will be held to account. But the government has come in for quite a lot of criticism because of its focus on showy projects, like bullet trains, rather than upgrading the existing system. Diane. DIANE MACEDO: All right, James Longman, thank you. And some of the biggest shipping ports on the West Coast are experiencing major delays today. Operators are accusing dockworkers of effectively shutting down terminals from Southern California to Seattle amid a contract dispute. Chief National Correspondent Matt Gutman has the details. Hi, Matt. - Hey, Diane. Roughly 40% of all the cargo coming into the US comes in to ports along the West Coast. The Port of Los Angeles here handled nearly 10 million containers last year. But negotiations between the union representing Longshore workers on the one hand and shipping operators on the other have been languishing for over a year. And now the shipping operators are reporting major disruptions up and down the West Coast. What they're saying are they effectively shut down or are severely impacting some of the terminals at major ports. Basically, what they're saying is that the Longshore workers are no longer working. And the most severe disruptions happened at the Port of Oakland. Basically, shut down since Friday. Long lines of trucks there. But the Longshore Workers Union says they are still negotiating. And what they want is a larger share of the profits that, they say, the shipping operators have enjoyed over the past couple of years, especially since COVID. But if these disruptions continue, it could have a major impact on the nation's supply chain. Diane. DIANE MACEDO: All right, Chief National Correspondent Matt Gutman, thank you. And gas prices are likely on their way up this summer. OPEC has announced plans to cut global crude oil supply by about a million barrels a day starting next month. Erielle Reshef has more. Hi, Erielle. - Hey, there, Diane. OPEC, which is the oil cartel which controls about 40% of the world's oil supply along with its allies, reaching that deal over the weekend to cut back production by about a million barrels per day. These countries are concerned about oversupply if the economy slows down and we see demand go down, as well. The last time OPEC slashed production, we saw gas prices spike. Right now, gas prices hovering about $3.55 on average per gallon. That's down from about $4.84 this time last year. So what does this latest move by OPEC mean for us? Well, analysts suggest that if the economy remains stable and demand stays constant that gas prices may still rise slightly. Though, it's unclear exactly when these cuts may take hold. OPEC is scheduled to meet again just after Thanksgiving. Diane. DIANE MACEDO: Erielle Reshef, thank you. Coming up-- [AUDIO LOGO] --new details on Joran van der Sloot's extradition. [THEME MUSIC] When the main suspect in Natalee Holloway's disappearance is expected on US soil. [AUDIO LOGO] And up next, the passenger accused of forcing a Delta flight to make an emergency landing. What we're learning as he prepares to face a judge. [THEME MUSIC] Welcome back. An airline passenger is due in court today after allegedly forcing an emergency landing. Delta officials say it took several flight attendants and nearly half a dozen passengers to restrain the unruly American. Janai Norman has more. - I'm under arrest for what? JANAI NORMAN: Charges for the man seen being led off a Delta flight in handcuffs for his alleged unruly behavior that led to a midair scare causing this international Detroit-bound plane to divert to Canada. - You could tell that everyone around you was a little bit scared. Everyone was turning their heads trying to see what was happening. JANAI NORMAN: Officials say airline personnel were forced to restrain an unruly and intoxicated American man, 34-year-old Ahmed Aden, but that he reportedly broke free. MAN: He was ready to throw hands. I saw the whole back of the plane was being interactive with him. JANAI NORMAN: Nearly a half dozen other passengers reportedly jumping from their seats and joining in to help subdue the man. - We're really wondering, how bad it had been for that person to have to be removed before our final destination. WOMAN: Oh, my God. JANAI NORMAN: The incident just one of a number of alarming cases. In 2022, the FAA receiving upwards of 2,500 reports of unruly passengers compared to the pandemic high of 5,900 the year before. - To act out on an airplane to the extent that you're not following the orders of the crew, which are legal orders, you're not only going to get pulled off, but you're probably going to spend some time in jail. - That suspect is due in court this afternoon. He's now facing two charges. One for endangering an aircraft. The other for preventing the crew from doing their duties. - Janai Norman, thank you.

Corporate General Buying Manager Dom Marlowe, a luxury brand specialist. - What do people need to know if they're shopping for something that's designer? DOM MARLOWE: I would say, making sure you're looking for good condition, good fabric. And making sure you're going to a trusted place. LORI BERGAMOTTO: Shop designer brands only at well-established stores that have authenticators on staff to make sure you're not buying a fake. This time, we're searching for a cocktail party dress. - This is a DNG lace dress. This one probably retailed for around $1,100. We have it here for $128.

Lori says to ignore the size on the label because sizes change over time so they can't always be counted on. Big thanks to Lori Bergamotto for those great tips. And if you are looking to book some summer travel, get ready for a few price changes there, as well. Compared to last year, price changes are lower on domestic travel and rental cars, but higher on hotels and international travel. ABC's Reena Roy has more on what's in store for this summer travel season. REENA ROY: After three years of reduced travel due to the COVID pandemic, Americans are ready to go on vacation. HAYLEY BERG: This is going to be the first summer of travel where we'll see more capacity available for travelers domestically than pre-pandemic. REENA ROY: Hayley Berg-- lead economist for the Travel app Hopper-- expects a very busy domestic travel season. And says there is good news on prices. HAYLEY BERG: Prices are down about 20% from this time last year, which is great news for travelers. REENA ROY: But for international travel, prices are higher. HAYLEY BERG: Airfares are up anywhere from 30% to 60% for international trips. About $300 to $350 more expensive than last year for trips to Europe and Asia. REENA ROY: Berg says that prices for hotels are up about 10% over the last year on average. HAYLEY BERG: It's primarily because there's so much demand for vacations. It just continues to push up prices along with inflation and higher costs. REENA ROY: But your wallet won't be hit as hard this year when renting a car. HAYLEY BERG: Rental car prices are down this summer. Relief for those road trippers. Averaging between $45 and $50 per day and down almost 20% from this time last year. REENA ROY: So if you're ready to plan your trip, here's some tips to help you save some money. HAYLEY BERG: Most of June and July will be packed with travel. So if you can push your vacation off to late August or even early September, you can save both money and some time with those long lines at airports. REENA ROY: And to save more money, avoid the weekends if you can. HAYLEY BERG: Think Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday departures. For domestic trips, you can save $50 to $100 per ticket. International trips, upwards of $150 to $200 per ticket. Same goes for hotel stays. You'll pay about a 25% premium just to stay on a Saturday night. Check in Sunday, stay through the week, and you will save hundreds. - Reena Roy, thank you.

Also ahead, how medication is being used for weight loss are now transforming popular programs like Noom and Weight Watchers. Stay with us. [THEME MUSIC] Welcome back to ABC News Live. Thanks for streaming with us. You're looking at Vatican City on this Monday. And we have a lot of news to get to. Here's the rundown right now. An investigation is underway after an unresponsive plane entered restricted airspace in Washington DC. The White House and the Capitol were briefly put on alert. And fighter jets scrambled to intercept the plane causing a sonic boom that rattled the area. The small plane later crashed in the mountains in Northern Virginia. [AUDIO LOGO] Hollywood Studios have reached a tentative contract agreement with the Directors Guild of America averting a possible strike. The three-year deal covers payments for programs that are streamed around the world. It also includes guarantees that Guild members cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence. This does not affect a separate strike by the Writers Guild of America that has shut down many productions. [AUDIO LOGO] The country has officially avoided the feared debt default. The White House tweeted video of President Biden signing the Fiscal Responsibility Act into law this weekend, raising the debt ceiling. The law also formally ends the three-year pandemic pause on federal student loan payments. More than 43 million borrowers will have to start paying back those loans in August. [AUDIO LOGO] And mission accomplished after the first-ever Livestream from Mars. The European Space Agency beamed the images to Earth from the Mars Express, a spacecraft launched 20 years ago. Each picture took nearly 17 minutes to reach Earth nearly 200 million miles away. And Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, is about to be extradited to the US on extortion and fraud charges. More than a decade ago, a federal grand jury indicted him for allegedly trying to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars from Holloway's mother. Now, van der Sloot could arrive in Alabama to face those charges as soon as tomorrow. Elwyn Lopez is in Birmingham with more. ELWYN LOPEZ: The prime suspect in Natalee Holloway's 2005 disappearance, Joran van der Sloot, preparing to be extradited to Alabama. A source close to the family telling ABC News, the 35-year-old is expected to leave Peru. Van der Sloot seen in this new video making his way to a prison in Peru's capital. His last trek inside the country before heading to the US to face charges related to the teen's death. MAN: They'll shackle him up, bring him back to this plane, and then fly him. Land presumably in Alabama. The Marshals will take custody of him. And they'll house him either in a federal prison or a local jail. ELWYN LOPEZ: Van der Sloot had been serving a 28-year sentence at a remote Peruvian prison for the murder of another woman. Authorities say he was the last person to see 18-year-old Natalee Holloway alive before she vanished nearly two decades ago on the last night of her graduation trip. - Yeah, the last time I saw her, she was sitting on the sand by the ocean. ELWYN LOPEZ: His extradition comes 13 years after an Alabama federal grand jury indicted him for allegedly trying to extort Holloway's mother for $250,000. The alleged demand in exchange for information on where her body was buried. But in 2006, van der Sloot denied killing the Alabama teen. - The first thing that popped into my head was, [BLEEP], what if something happened to her? ELWYN LOPEZ: In 2019, Holloway's mother, Beth, speaking with ABC News about the last time she saw her daughter alive. - I helped her get her bag out of the car and just kissed her goodbye. Never could I have imagined. - And Diane, Holloway's body was never found, but a judge declared her dead in 2012. Van der Sloot was never charged in her disappearance. Diane. DIANE MACEDO: And Elwyn, what do we know right now about van der Sloot's expected arrival? - Yeah, so sources tell us, Diane, that van der Sloot is expected to arrive in the United States likely, this week. We know that here's where a federal grand jury indicted him on those extortion and wire fraud charges. And this is where he will eventually face trial. Diane. DIANE MACEDO: All right, Elwyn Lopez in Birmingham, Alabama. Elwyn, thank you. And I want to bring in host at Law&Crime Network ABC News Contributor Brian Buckmire for more on this. Brian, what do we know about these charges van der Sloot is facing in Alabama? - So van der Sloot is not facing any charges directly to the murder of Holloway. Instead, it's for extortion and wire fraud. Because we know that after the disappearance of Holloway that he reached out to the mother's attorney saying if you give me $250,000, I will give you information as to where her body was. Obviously, he lied and that never happened. But that money was transferred, and so that's the extortion and wire fraud. DIANE MACEDO: Now, as you said, this is not-- these charges are not directly related to her disappearance or her death, but could this case kind of open up a window there? Could we see these charges expanded? - It's extremely unlikely. Because any part of the investigation that would have happened already led to, we don't know what happened to Natalee Holloway. When van der Sloot arrives, he's going to have an attorney. He's going to have the right to remain silent. Unlikely that he's going to cut some sort of deal for wire fraud charges to get a better deal for murder, if that is the charges that they can put on him. So I don't think we're going to learn any more, unfortunately. DIANE MACEDO: He's already facing-- not facing-- serving a 28-year sentence for a different murder in Peru. So what happens if he's convicted on these charges here? Could he serve time in the US, as well? Or does he go back to Peru immediately? How does that work? BRIAN BUCKMIRE: So it's literally, a back and forth. So the treaty that Peru has with the United States is that they're allowed to send people back and forth for court proceedings. And so what we're learning is that he'll go for at least a year. They can extend to two years. And that's just for the trial and maybe some appellate issues, as well. If he's convicted, he goes back to Peru. According to the Peruvian government, he should be out in 2038. And then he would come back to that to the Unites States to serve almost up to 20 years in prison if he's convicted on both charges. DIANE MACEDO: I see. So he goes back to Peru to finish that sentence. And then if he's sentenced here, he comes back here to serve that sentence afterwards. - Exactly. Little hot potato. DIANE MACEDO: What are you watching for once he is back on US soil and these proceedings get underway? - I'm going to see how quickly they expedite this trial. What facts they have along with just the extortion and wire fraud. And if they do come anywhere close to maybe he does know a little bit more about the murder. Maybe he is not the one who committed the crime. Maybe he's an accomplice. Maybe there are some other facts that come out. Because we've seen a lot of what we call "no body murder cases" where you charge someone with murder even though you cannot find the body. DIANE MACEDO: And what happens to the money? BRIAN BUCKMIRE: The money, in terms of what he's extorted, he's supposed to pay back. But it's hard to get blood from a stone, so to speak. And so he is going to have to face restitution of $25,000, and I think an additional dollar on top of that, if he is convicted. But how this system would work of him being in Peru, trying to get money from him for the victims, it might be more symbolic than actually getting that money to the victims in this case. That $25,000 might be long gone by now. DIANE MACEDO: Is it a $25,000 or $250,000? - I think he only transferred $25,000-- - I see. - --but he asked for $250,000. That's-- - Got it. Got it. Got it. - --how much he got away with. DIANE MACEDO: Awesome. All right, Brian, this is why we love having you here to explain these things. A lot to keep track of. We appreciate you keeping track of it for us. Brian, thanks. - My pleasure. - And Yellowstone National Park has issued a new warning for tourists after several dangerous encounters with wildlife. Authorities are now investigating tourists who allegedly took a baby elk to the police station in their car last weekend. Trevor Ault has more. TREVOR AULT: After a string of frightening close encounters at Yellowstone National Park, park officials are urging tourists to respect and protect the animals. Saying in a statement, "Some actions by visitors have led to the endangerment of people and wildlife and resulted in the death of wildlife." - Because of things like social media, a lot of people have lost a bit of common sense, and don't give the space and respect these creatures need. And they put themselves and the animals in serious danger. TREVOR AULT: Authorities are now investigating tourists who, they say, this Memorial Day Weekend grabbed a baby elk and took it inside their car to the police station. And last month, a man from Hawaii, now charged with intentionally disturbing wildlife, was seen moving a newborn bison after it was separated from its mother. Yellowstone Park Rangers were forced to euthanize the calf when they couldn't reunite it with the herd. - If you're getting in the way, not only could you get injured, could the animal get injured or in trouble, but you're actually impeding or hurting their chances for survival. TREVOR AULT: We're also seeing a lot of videos like this. A Yellowstone tourist taking a selfie next to a bison, which experts warn is seriously risky behavior. WOMAN: There you go. Keep going. TREVOR AULT: Last year, this woman at a Texas National Park tried sneaking by a bison. [GROWLING] WOMAN: Oh, no, no. TREVOR AULT: She was gored in the back and spent six days in the hospital. Experts says, always have a plan of exit if a bison gets too close. But of course, the best plan is to always maintain a safe distance of 75 to 100 feet. - You don't have a prayer in heck against a wild bison. But all those accidents are completely avoidable. WOMAN: [BLEEP]. - And Diane, nobody wants to discourage anyone from visiting National Parks. They are, of course, amazing. But the bottom line from Yellowstone is if you see an animal near your trail or your campsite or a developed area, leave it alone and give it space. Diane. DIANE MACEDO: Good advice. Trevor Ault, thank you. Coming up-- [THEME MUSIC] --how programs like Weight Watchers and Noom are now offering popular drugs being used for weight loss. What you need to know. [AUDIO LOGO] Also ahead, see the emotional reunion between two formerly conjoined twins and the medical team that gave them separate lives. Stay with us. [THEME MUSIC] Welcome back. Popular weight loss programs like Noom and Weight Watchers are embracing and promoting the use of popular medications to help customers shed pounds. Both companies have announced they will now offer telehealth prescriptions for weight loss drugs. Erielle Reshef has more. [AUDIO LOGO] ERIELLE RESHEF: The subscription app Noom, the latest weight loss giant, shifting strategies. Incorporating wildly popular medications being used for weight loss as part of its services for some customers. - The truth is, there is no quick fix. But there is a more effective way to lose weight. ERIELLE RESHEF: Noom, which was founded in 2008, provides psychological tips to assist with weight loss and helps people track their eating and exercise habits. But now the company announcing, it will offer prescriptions through its new telehealth platform, Noom Med, for Wegovy and similar drugs to combat obesity. The price of Noom Med is $49 a month, and the drugs can cost up to $1,000. The new program is only available to members of Noom Weight, which averages around $42 per month itself. It follows a similar move by Weight Watchers beyond its long-standing core focus on tried and true diet and exercise. Now, taking a multi-million bet on the medication-assisted weight loss space. - These companies are profit driven. And if people want to lose weight and they center that as the thing that's valuable, we're going to see more companies jump on the bandwagon and start to use these GLP-1s ERIELLE RESHEF: Back in March, Weight Watchers acquiring a telehealth subscription service allowing customers to pay $99 per month for access to doctors who can prescribe medications like Ozempic and Rybelsus. MAYA FELLER: What I've seen when patients are on these medications is that it drastically changes their relationship with food. So this idea that this is an easy fix is completely not true. There are tons of side effects that go on with this medication. And people are actually sacrificing quite a bit to have thinness and live in a smaller body. - And Diane, as the weight loss landscape continues to change, many of these long-standing companies have been forced to either pivot their business models, as we're seeing, or face closure. As you'll remember, Jenny Craig closing its doors after 40 years of those in-person coaching sessions and meal plans just last month. Diane. DIANE MACEDO: Erielle Reshef, thank you. And if you're looking to book summer travel, get ready for a few changes. Compared to last year, prices are lower on domestic travel and rental cars, but higher on hotels and international travel. ABC's Reena Roy has more on what's in store this summer travel season. REENA ROY: After three years of reduced travel due to the COVID pandemic, Americans are ready to go on vacation. HAYLEY BERG: This is going to be the first summer of travel where we'll see more capacity available for travelers domestically than pre-pandemic. REENA ROY: Hayley Berg-- lead economist for the travel app Hopper-- expects a very busy domestic travel season. And says there is good news on prices. HAYLEY BERG: Prices are down about 20% from this time last year, which is great news for travelers. REENA ROY: But for international travel, prices are higher. HAYLEY BERG: Airfares are up anywhere from 30% to 60% for international trips. About $300 to $350 more expensive than last year for trips to Europe and Asia. REENA ROY: Berg says that prices for hotels are up about 10% over the last year on average. HAYLEY BERG: It's primarily because there's so much demand for vacations. It just continues to push up prices along with inflation and higher costs. REENA ROY: But your wallet won't be hit as hard this year when renting a car. HAYLEY BERG: Rental car prices are down this summer. Relief for those road trippers. Averaging between $45 and $50 per day and down almost 20% from this time last year. REENA ROY: So if you're ready to plan your trip, here's some tips to help you save some money. HAYLEY BERG: Most of June and July will be packed with travel. So if you can push your vacation off to late August or even early September, you can save both money and some time with those long lines at airports. REENA ROY: And to save more money, avoid the weekends if you can. HAYLEY BERG: Think Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday departures. For domestic trips, you can save $50 to $100 per ticket. International trips, upwards of $150 to $200 per ticket. Same goes for hotel stays. You'll pay about a 25% premium just to stay on a Saturday night. Check in Sunday, stay through the week, and you will save hundreds. - Reena Roy, thank you. [THEME MUSIC] Coming up, see the emotional reunion between two formerly conjoined twins and the medical team that gave them separate lives. Stay with us. [THEME MUSIC] Welcome back. Formerly conjoined twins had a heartwarming reunion with the doctors and nurses who performed a high-risk surgery to separate them. The twins are not only surviving, they're both now college students who are thriving. Eva Pilgrim has more. WOMAN: Oh, my goodness. [MUSIC PLAYING] It's a reunion 19 years in the making. - Hi. It's so good to see you, again. I'm Carol. You don't probably even know me. EVA PILGRIM: 19-year-old twins Erin and Jade Buckles returning to Children's National Hospital for a special reunion with the doctors and nurses who gave them separate lives. Jade and Erin were joined at the chest. Our own Charlie Gibson was there for their separation 19 years ago. - You are so pretty. So pretty. EVA PILGRIM: It was a risky surgery with many nervous hours for the girl's parents, Melissa and Kevin. MELISSA BUCKLES: One moment that I'm completely dreading is leaving them in the OR. - It was very hard. We didn't after they were born, if they would be able to survive. EVA PILGRIM: Only about one in every 50,000 conceptions are conjoined twins. Only one in 200,000 survive to birth. [MUSIC PLAYING] The girls shared a diaphragm, and doctors weren't sure if they would be able to breathe on their own. Dr. Kurt Newman was a pediatric surgeon in the OR that day. KURT NEWMAN: Their hearts were beating together in synchrony. And so that was an unknown. Were the hearts joined or were they separate? EVA PILGRIM: An elite team of two dozen specialists separating them in half the time they expected. JANAI NORMAN: It was a hugely emotional day. And to see them years later, just by itself is very big for me. - If it wasn't for the people here, we wouldn't be here at all. So I think about that a lot. JADE BUCKLES: I've thought about what life would be like how we were conjoined. We were facing each other. I don't know how that would have really been possible to live a life like that. EVA PILGRIM: Today, the girls are doing great. They are both excellent students and college athletes. Jade runs track and plays field hockey. Erin, who uses a wheelchair as a result of a spinal stroke at the time of the separation surgery, plays Division I basketball on an all-wheelchair team-- [CHEERING] --and just won the National Championship. KEVIN BUCKLES: Excited for the girls to see the team that helped start a new life for them by separating them and giving them their own individual bodies to go out and conquer life. They've overcome so much, but they're just starting their lives right now. We're excited to see what that next chapter holds for both of them. DIANE MACEDO: Eva Pilgrim, thank you. And the girls say now that they're in college, no one knows they're twins, let alone formerly conjoined. Talk about separate lives. And we are learning new details about the new ride that will replace Splash Mountain at Disney World. The ride is influenced by jazz and the New Orleans art scene, and it opens next year. Janai Norman has a behind-the-scenes look on this Black Music Appreciation Month. [MUSIC PLAYING] - Just one kiss. - Just one. JANAI NORMAN: With just one year until the debut of Tiana's Bayou Adventure at the Disney Parks, inspired by the groundbreaking film The Princess and the Frog, we went to the birthplace of jazz to meet the creatives who are adding that distinctive New Orleans flair to the new attraction, which will replace Splash Mountain. - I don't think you get New Orleans and you get the movement and the rhythm of New Orleans without the music. When you're a musician in New Orleans, it's a badge of honor. [PJ MORTON, "CLAUSTROPHOBIC"] JANAI NORMAN: PJ Morton is a four-time Grammy Award-winning artist and native to the city. - (SINGING) And I have a habit of dreaming bigger than anything I can see. JANAI NORMAN: He's writing and producing an original song for Tiana's Bayou Adventure. PJ MORTON: To me, now, actually, being able to create some original music for Disney, it's just really, a full circle moment. And it's, also, I get to be me so it's doubly exciting for me. WOMAN: Tiana is not only the first African-American princess, but she's the first American princess. And she's a princess that comes from a real place, New Orleans. So it was really extremely important to us to make sure that we are being authentic. JANAI NORMAN: And that authenticity extends beyond the music. Meet Darryl Reeves, a third generation master blacksmith and welder born and raised in the same neighborhood where his shop sits. You can't go anywhere in the Big Easy without running into some of this restoration and metal work. You have your own work that is all over this city and historical buildings. - All over the world. JANAI NORMAN: All over the world. Look at that. What does that feel like to say, your work is all over the world? - Yeah. Yeah, I'm a simple welder. I still can't believe it. [MUSIC PLAYING] JANAI NORMAN: Disney tapping his team to create an intricate prop to adorn the ride, a massive weathervane crafted using centuries-old techniques with a subtle African flair. - I wanted something a little bit more artistic. - Yeah. Well, like, this is metal that is like curled into itself. - That's what I do. That's what I do. That's what I do. JANAI NORMAN: Wow. DARRYL REEVES: I take metal and I can do anything I want with it. - One of the first questions, he asked was were we going to give him a design? And it was, like, no, we're not giving you a design. We want this to come from your heart and your hand. - See, when somebody comes to me and give me a free hand at designing and fabricating a piece-- [LAUGHING] --that's such an honor. And it gives me-- it gives me the opportunity to show off all the years experience I had. All the stuff I took time and the effort to learn. And take all these different techniques and put them together. - Gave you the opportunity to show off. As they say down here in the South, you put your foot in that. [LAUGHING] - Our thanks to Janai Norman for that. And our thanks to you for streaming with us. I'm Diane Macedo.
