many jewish students say they feel unsafe with anti-semitic language they've heard in these protests, and counterprotests are also expected at the campus of ucla today. will? >> will: zohreen shah on those growing demonstrations and tensions across the country. thank you. we go to washington now and president biden's appearance overnight at the white house correspondents dinner. abc's maryalice parks was there for the event and she's here now with more. maryalice, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, will, good morning. there's a long tradition of these dinners, entertainers, politicians, journalists together for a night celebrating free speech and roasting each other a little bit. over the last 100 years, every president has participated in at least one with the exception of donald trump. >> god bless america.

women, and he said that "the national enquirer" did things it had never done solely for the benefit of trump's campaign. yes, the tabloid had entered into hundreds of thousands of nondisclosure agreements, but the only one involving a presidential candidate and a campaign was donald trump's. >> gio: and we've got another big week ahead. who is going to testify, and is there one person you're looking at? >> well, we don't know who is going to testify. prosecutors won't say, gio, because they refuse to give the defense a head's-up out of fear that trump is only going to verbally attack witnesses. testimony will resume tuesday with a banker taking the jury through the granular details about the shell company michael cohen set up secretly to pay stormy daniels her hush money. cohen is going to testify, so is stormy daniels later in the trial. >> gio: what about the gag order, aaron? prosecutors are trying to hold trump in criminal contempt for violating it. >> they say he's done it

repeatedly, as many as 14 times. the judge is going to hold a hearing about it on thursday and we'll learn whether there are more examples that prosecutors want to show the judge and how trump's attorneys are going to respond and say, nah, these are just innocuous. that didn't go well last time. the judge said, you're giving me nothing and accused the defense of losing credibility. >> gio: aaron katersky always on top of every detail. thank you, my friend. we'll see you at the courthouse this week. and tune in to "this week" later for george stephanopoulos' interview with john kirby about the latest in gaza, plus an expert legal panel on the powerhouse roundtable on all the week's politics from the courtroom to the campaign trail. that's all coming up on "this week." rhiannon. >> rhiannon: we turn now to federal regulators saying a critical safety gap in tesla's autopilot system may be responsible for hundreds of accidents and more than a dozen deaths. a national highway traffic safety administration analysis of 956 crashes in which tesla autopilot was thought to have been in use found that the

system likely contributed to at least 467 of those collisions resulting in 13 deaths and many more serious injuries. this after a nearly three-year investigation. will. >> will: all right, rhiannon, thanks. the nba playoffs are in full swing, four games yesterday, for more today. abc's perry russom has the preview and recap. >> reporter: good morning. let's start with the lakers and nuggets last night. a must win game for lebron james and the lakers as they tried to avoid another sweep in the playoffs at the hands of those denver nuggets, who just have their number for some reason. lebron had 30 points as the lakers win and stay alive. the lakers are trying to do what no team has ever done in the nba playoffs, come back from being down 3-0. we head back to denver monday for game five. celtics, game three, jaylen brown and jayson tatum both with 22 points. after losing at home in game two, the celtics win on the road and jump ahead 2-1.

to tell us why. good morning, alexis. >> good morning, gio. with college decision day around the corner, some students are choosing a different path, the tool belt generation. more are saying no to traditional college and yes to trade schools and apprenticeship programs. today with college costs soaring and millions struggling to pay student loans, more people are questioning whether a four-year degree is worth it, like 20-year-old colby dell, who ditched four-year college for automotive repair school. >> being able to find this trade where i can go work with my hands all day, which is how i learn best, it's incredible. >> reporter: colby's dad supports his son's decision. >> we're going to take that same investment we would have put into a four-year school and help ignite his success. >> reporter: with private college tuition up nearly 4% from last year according to the college board, and tuition nearing 100,000 a year at some universities, more students are turning to trade schools where

enrollment jumped by a record 16% last year compared to just over 1% for traditional college. as older workers retire, blue collar trades including electricity, plumbing, and welding offer job security and rising pay. corporate america is taking notice. companies like google, lowe's, microsoft and accenture offering apprenticeship programs. no college experience necessary. >> while college is great for some, it's not exactly the right answer for everyone. >> reporter: walmart among the companies now removing college degree requirements from some corporate jobs that pay six-figure salaries. in an exclusive interview with abc news, the ceo of walmart u.s. says, having the right skills can sometimes be more important than having the right degree. >> let's say you wanted to be a technician or a truck driver or robot tech or a pharmacy tech, we have those programs where you can do that on the job while you're working, and they lead to great careers. >> reporter: now, while trade school may be right for some, there is still value in higher education.

>> gio: welcome back to "gma"

a look at some of the health and medical stories making headlines. joining us is dr. darien sutton. welcome back. >> good morning, thanks for having me. >> gio: look, i was in the park yesterday. everyone was sneezing. we got those allergies going. what do we need to know, because it feels like it's coming earlier every year. >> you're absolutely right. when you look at the u.s. department of agriculture, the numbers comparing today to the 1990s, spring is starting up to 20 days earlier and lasting up to 10 days longer affecting 60 million americans. so when i speak to my colleagues in allergy and immunology they give me easy tips. one is air purifiers, the high efficiency air filters, you want to change them. if you're about to start your air conditioner, you want to change the filter on your air conditioner. keeping windows closed when it's windy days. or if you reach for nasal products, nasal steroids or nasal irrigation, reach for

nasal steroids and avoid or limit nasal decongestants, paying attention to the box. and then, of course, talking to your doctor because you might be a candidate for other treatments. >> will: good to know. thank you for that. there's been a lot of headlines about milk and bird flu and how traces of the bird flu virus were found in samples, a certain number of samples of pasteurized milk. what's going on? >> the avian influenza. h5n1. what we've known since 1996, this virus has been transmitting through wild populations of birds and poultry, and now, unfortunately, cattle. there are remnants of the virus being found in the milk we drink. thankfully when i talk to the scientists that do the studies, there's no sign right now that virus could possibly travel from milk to humans, but just a reminder we should avoid raw milk because thankfully pasturization saves us from that. >> gio: good that you're talking to the scientists. >> rhiannon: pasteurized milk at the grocery store is okay. >> absolutely. >> rhiannon: good to know as a parent and just as a person.

let's talk loneliness. there's been a lot of talk about this. people are feeling lonelier than ever before. the u.s. surgeon general declared it an epidemic. parents are especially feeling lonely, moms especially. what can we do about this? >> it's unfortunate. this is a new study from ohio state university, a survey and found more than 60% of parents are feeling isolated or without having friends or friendships they can find comfort in and support. it's forever important, number one, because loneliness doesn't affect our emotional health but our physical health. loneliness is associated with heart disease later in life, you increased risk of dementia and important to understand the value of reaching out. it's not just about finding that friend, it's about being that friend. it can be short things like coffee talks or a simple walk. online chat rooms can help you find support in a relationship you need but focusing on friendship just as much as your physical health is important. >> rhiannon: maybe taking that online friendship out into the real life. >> absolutely, at least try, small things.

quality over quantity. >> will: is it a lingering effect of the pandemic? >> i think so and a function of society today. more of us are working more, longer hours and i think a function of the pandemic is bringing work home, which causes you to constantly be at home and less likely to be outside. probably a factor that goes into it. >> rhiannon: there used to be a village and now it seems like you're isolated. >> very true. more likely that that other person is also lonely so reaching out is important. >> thank you, doctor. >> rhiannon: the changes coming to the nfl. the increased protection for players and could there be a possible new date for the super bowl? hmm.

>> will: back now with a change you may see on the field in the nfl and another perhaps on the calendar. abc's alex presha will explain. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, will. yeah, we're talking about guardian caps and they were mandated for certain position players over training camps for the last couple of seasons, but now the nfl says that players can wear them during actual games. >> with the first pick in the 2024 nfl draft -- >> reporter: this morning with the nfl draft officially over, it's not just the faces of the league that are changing, so are nfl safety protocols. players now allowed to wear this additional padding in games. they're called guardian caps. the league saying they contributed to a 50% reduction in concussions for the position groups that wore them during training camp. in a statement the nfl writing, we now have two years of data showing significant concussion reductions among players who wear guardian caps during

practice. commissioner roger goodell speaking about the change on "the pat mcafee show." >> they're faster and more athletic. we don't need the shots to the head. >> as he lowers his head, that red piece comes off the helmet. >> reporter: this past season kansas city chiefs patrick mahomes and miami dolphins safety deshon elliott collided in a hit so powerful, it caused pieces of his helmet to shatter. they also banned drop tackles. >> now pollard is hurt. >> reporter: a series of high-profile injuries including this one to star quarterback lamar jackson cited as reasons for the change. >> jackson goes down on the sideline. >> the concern is only will officials know it when they see it and will they be able to call it live without using replay because it will not be something they could go back on replay and use? >> reporter: this change isn't without criticism. a number of voices around the league speaking out against the new rule. >> the nfl has basically said if

it's something that can address player health and safety and something that can reduce injuries, they're going to do it. >> reporter: one other change to the playbook that could come down the pike, commissioner goodell mulling adding an additional game to the season and moving super bowl sunday to presidents' day weekend. and that's a change that could be music to some employers' ears. one survey found millions of americans planned to call out sick following the past super bowl, so that change could be a win-win. >> gio: that's what so many are excited about. >> will: very nice and on the guardian cap versus the extra game in the season, kind of a wash in terms of player safety. but super bowl on presidents' day weekend. >> rhiannon: it would be so nice to watch my chiefs win and have the next day off. >> will: you're getting greedy. we'll be back with a very special "play of the day." advar has you searching for possibilities, discover a different first treatment. immunotherapies work with your immune system
