across the country covering those stories and a lot more for us tonight but we do begin with the passing of Tina Turner the queen of rock and roll Turner's publicist announced her death this afternoon saying today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work her music known for her magical voice and hits like What's Love Got to Do With It Rolling Stone once named her one of the greatest singers of all time Turner raped in abusive marriage and remade herself as a solo artist a figure of power and strength and a Trailblazer for so many she was inducted as a solo artist in the 2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Flame class and just last month Turner said she wanted to be remembered as a woman who showed other women it's okay to strive for Success on their own terms World News Tonight anchor David Muir leads us off tonight with more on her life and Legacy Tina Turner was a legend [Music] for story defined strength and bravery the little girl born Anime Bullock in Brownsville Tennessee I'm a girl from a cotton field that pulls myself above what was not taught to me she was the daughter of sharecroppers abandoned by her parents when she was young her mother would come in and out of her life while still in high school in East St Louis Illinois in the late 1950s she saw Ike Turner perform she was just 17 at the time and she asked if she could sing a song at intermission she was magnetic they could all see it including Ike I was young naive trigger and everything just Ike's fan but Tina with the shining star he would give her the name Tina and she would become Tina Turner [Music] version of Proud Mary would give Ike and Tina Turner their first top 10 hit America [Music] the world didn't see at the time was the pain and the Darkness of that marriage Ike Turner was abusive she would not speak often of that abuse but when she did it was profound this is what she told ABC News in 1982. my life with Ike it was one that a lot of maybe people are familiar with the husbands that that is uh that practice brutality she was asked at the time why she stayed so long that's not responsible I thought that I couldn't leave because too many things would be destroyed the documentary Tina on HBO just two years ago I had an abusive life there's no other way to tell the story telling the story of how she got out of that marriage famously leaving with nothing 36 Cents in her pocket and as she would say a gas charge card so I said I'll just take my name I fought a little bit because he knew what I would do with it and it was through court and I got it Tina there's something on my mind but she would fight to keep the name Tina Turner she said was hers with young Sons she struggled to redefine her career as a solo black female rock star and then came the solo album Private Dancer [Music] her 1984 Smash Hit What's Love Got to Do With It [Music] she was 45 and she had done it on her own the New York Times calling the album at the time a landmark in the career of the 45 year old singer What's Love Got to Do With It When multiple Grammys record of the Year song of the year best female pop vocal performance she became a global sensation there would be many albums to follow including foreign affair on it the best simply there was the big screen too [Music] and at nearly 50 years old one of her dreams to fill a stadium like the Rolling Stones would come true nearly 200 000 fans would show up in Rio breaking a record for the largest audience for a solo artist [Applause] draw those people it's a feeling of like I did it and it's really genuine it's it's almost like magic because you're standing there and they're really giving you the love [Music] she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Ike Turner and later inducted on her own and Tina would find love too she met her husband German record executive Irwin Bach and they were together more than 35 years in the end she lived a quieter life in Switzerland with her husband and with a Home and Gardens she had always dreamed of and in 2019 a rare appearance in New York City for the debut of the Broadway show Tina was there she said this this musical is my life but it's like poison that turned to Medicine [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Bible who defied boundaries and who redefined herself tonight being remembered by her peers and by her fans as Simply the Best [Applause] [Music] thank you our thanks to David for that and now let's bring in ABC News contributor Mr Mike Muse and Mike you know we we've just heard so much from Tina in her own words and how she said she wanted to be remembered as the queen of rock and roll I don't think there's any question uh that that will come into life do you think she embodied that moniker she embodied in multiple ways when you think about rock and roll you think Freedom right that's what I think about I think about like the amazing guitar riffs right I think about the way they use their body to be in sync with the music the way they use of the stage the way rock and roll is dress right that's what I think about Frida those are all the things that Tina Turner was right she was this incredible musician this incredible voice who used every part of her body literally with her Infamous legs and the strut and the wiggle and her performance of it the way that she used her hair right the way the shoes her face like she really like gave her whole body to it but there was a sense of freedom of hers but then she embodies it by the music because as you know all know too well she's from nut Bush Tennessee right that is like part of that Delta of the Mississippi that is the origin of rock and roll music which is blues which comes out of black music which is a fusion of gospel and so her Constitution unto itself just by being who she is is rock and roll so it's always with her DNA so that's how she showed up on the stage her herself she is rock and roll I think there's a powerful scene um with love what's What Love Got to Do With It uh played by Enzo Bassett and the scene that stands out to me is when they were in the courtroom and when she tells the judge I can have it all uh only thing I want is my name all right and I thought for me that was so powerful of who she is not that we heard terminology had terminology for it these days that was really her owning her agency she wanted to take back her agency her identity her intellectual property and start fresh that is really where that sense of Freedom really began to come from is her wanting it on her own terms and that she did she became certainly a huge influence on a number of of rockers Mick Jagger among them and he wrote this tribute today saying she was truly an enormously talented performer and singer she was inspiring warm funny and generous she helped me so much when I was young and I will never forget her how do you feel that she her influence really helped to shape the next generation of stars I can't help but think about Beyonce in terms of like passing a torch and the way that was embodied you saw that when Beyonce did a tribute for for the candy's honors in 2005 but then you saw that again in 2000 I believe in eight or ten at the Grammys when they performed together Proud Mary you see with these big anthems like from Katy Perry right you've seen these other big anthems like from Lady Gaga right those are the blueprint that Tina Turner set out to do that you can be strong you can be feminine you can talk about love you can also talk about pain you can be aggressive and Powerful but you also to be soft and to get that writer so hard but she let women know you can do it all and here's how to do it you think about Mad Max you can do it and just lastly on a personal note how did you respond I mean we knew that she was ailing uh that she had some illness in in recent years but when you heard the news it felt like it hit a little differently you know when it's like wow Tina Turner it did I've actually there's a song that kind of gets me which is Simply the Best right that's always better than all the rest I'd actually played that song just to pick me up in difficult times and days and so I haven't heard that song in full and so I think when I hear that song tonight I am going to play it on my way home tonight I am going to play that song and I think that's what's going to hit me but I want to make sure that we celebrate her because her life is meant to be celebrated it's sad but her life is meant to be celebrated because when we say we lost a great one we have literally lost a great one who was simply the best how do you top that couldn't have said it any better myself Mike Muse we thank you so much thank you we turn down to the 2024 presidential race in Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has made his entry into the campaign official announcing his run in an audio only discussion with Elon Musk on Twitter that wasn't as smooth as he'd hoped DeSantis has been leaning heavily into culture War issues and he's currently the leading Contender against GOP front-runner Donald Trump but can he actually take on the former president ABC's Chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Carl reports in tonight from Miami Ron DeSantis planned to make his big announcement in an audio only discussion with Elon Musk on Twitter but from the start it was plagued with technical difficulties his campaign making the announcement instead with this video I'm Ron DeSantis and I'm running for president to lead our Great American comeback the 44 year old DeSantis has been acting like a presidential candidate for months especially after he won re-election as Florida's governor in a 19-point landslide we made promises to the people of Florida and we have delivered on those promises stantis has used his position as Governor to push hot button culture War issues to appeal to the conservatives who dominate the Republican primaries including Banning classroom discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity all the way through 12th grade signing a ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy and restricting diversity equity and inclusion programs at Florida's public universities DeSantis has had some stumbles along the way he was roundly criticized by other Republicans when he called Russia's invasion of Ukraine a quote territorial dispute and in recent weeks he was unable to answer the basic question why are you trailing Donald Trump I'm not I'm not a candidate so we'll see if if and when that changes there's only one person once Trump is relentlessly attacked him spending millions of dollars on TV ads they were once the closest of allies Trump helping DeSantis get elected governor in 2018. he's going to be a great great Governor Ron come on up back then DeSantis ran as a clone of trump make America great again today one of his Rivals former Ambassador Nikki Haley said DeSantis is still trying to be Donald Trump all of it's copying Trump he needs to be his own person he needs to get out there and say what he believes what he thinks if he's just going to be an echo to Trump people just vote for Trump Jonathan Carl joins us now from Miami John DeSantis intended to announce his campaign on Twitter but the rollout really isn't going quite as he planned how has it been playing out I mean it was a total mess uh Lindsay for 25 minutes it was technical difficulties a lot of people gathered in that so-called Twitter space to hear Ron DeSantis have a discussion with Elon Musk and the other uh Twitter users but they were nowhere to be found uh it kept on having glitches back and forth after 25 minutes though DeSantis finally did appear with Elon Musk in this audio only discussion forum and he made his announcement although it's a forum that is meant to be for discussion it sounded a lot more like a stump speech that he was reading to say the least not a smooth roll out for a presidential campaign not a good start and John what do we hear in the background sounds like some protesters yeah yeah yeah it's right off to the side uh uh fairly uh uh loud group of protesters anti-desantis uh protesters uh uh here outside the hotel where his donors are going to be gathering uh that's that's the one of the first that actually that is the first stop on his campaign after uh after this Twitter space is an appearance on Fox News he's going to be uh convening with big money donors at the Four Seasons in Miami tomorrow Jonathan Carl for us sir thanks to you John thank you next to the Quest for healing accountability and change one year after that horrific school shooting at Rome elementary school tonight the faces of the 21 lives lost 19 fourth grade students and two teachers for the families they left behind the passage of time has only helped heal some wounds others will last a lifetime the school is slated to be demolished as the 77 minutes officers waited outside continue to haunt the loved ones of the victims ABC News has spent the past 365 days in Uvalde committed to documenting the impact of one of the worst school shootings in American history we'll have coverage throughout our show tonight John Quinones reports in from the ground for us from Uvalde one year after the massacre at Robb Elementary 21 butterflies released in the memory of the lives lost that day 19 students and two teachers church bells ringing out across Uvalde at 12 49. the moment the gunman was finally taken down in that classroom a moment of silence at the White House with President Biden and the first lady before the president addressed the families and the nation affected by gun violence it's been hard to make progress but there will come a point where our voices are so loud our determination is so clear that we can no longer be stopped we will act for the last year we have stayed in Uvalde following the families as they pushed for stricter gun laws and demanded accountability we want answers we seek Justice and we demand change tonight there is frustration as those families wait to see whether anyone will be charged for the bungled police response Jessica orona San NOAA miraculously survived a bullet to the back after playing dead on the floor we feel that there's no justice for the Fallen 21 accountability and I think that's What Hurts the Most as these families struggle to heal they forged an unbreakable Bond finding Comfort here at the murals of their children it's the one place these mothers tell us that brings them peace and joy it's very easy to want to push all the bad things in the world aside but we forget this will just happen again and again and we keep seeing it happen again and again of course John joins us now John you're also learning more details about the investigation yeah sources are telling us that now the investigation into what went wrong here is focusing on the decisions made during the critical first few moments the findings are going to be turned over to a grand jury but the district attorney here she has not given any timetable as to when that might happen John Quinones who's been reporting from Uvalde for the past year we thank you so much for the tremendous work you've been doing now to the debt ceiling Showdown still no deal tonight and house members are heading home for the Memorial Day weekend let's go to ABC senior Congressional correspondent Rachel Scott who's on Capitol Hill for us Rachel give us the state of play on the talks with this deadline looming just one week away well members of the House are scheduled to leave for recess tomorrow but today they were told that they need to be ready to return back to Washington D.C within 24 hours if an agreement is reached top negotiators met at the White House for four hours today house Speaker Kevin McCarthy told us that progress was made but not enough to close the deal Republicans are not budging on this they say they will not agree to raise the debt limit until the president agrees to deep spending cuts but time is running out here if Congress does not act the government will not have the money that it needs to pay off the nation's bills as soon as June's first and that would put millions of jobs at risk Lindsay all right still some hurdles and sticking points it seems there Rachel Scott for us from Capitol Hill thanks so much Rachel the

installment in our culture conversation we're celebrating Asian American native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander heritage month and tonight we take a look at South Asian dance which takes back thousands of years more recently you've seen various Styles including Bhangra Bollywood and classical and American movies TV shows and on entertainment's biggest stages so ABC's Irene Shaw spoke with two South Asian dancers about their triumphs and challenges including sometimes being left off the stage entirely and what they've learned from each other foreign dance chooses you and there's no way to resist it and so I was very lucky that my parents allowed me to go through with that passion I was of the generation that you go to college dance was a hobby I didn't know you could do it as a profession I never saw myself reflected so I didn't think it was a thing [Music] from the opening scene of the oscar-winning film La La Land you may recognize reshma gajar with Decades of experience she has toured extensively with top artists like Madonna and Ricky Martin [Music] or this scene from Netflix's never have I ever that's choreographer and CEO Joya Kazi who started her own entertainment company at 16. specializing in classical Indian dance I first was exposed to Indian classical dance through a Michael Jackson music video and we have this in common the Michael Jackson Black or White music video which was phenomenal so it was the first time I saw an odyssey dancer so you saw the woman in the Michael Jackson video at that point you also saw reshma what did it feel like to meet her it felt like home and it felt like having a big sister in the industry to have someone who was already well established in the industry and to be able to take us back to our hometown where we didn't have those resources going up it was I mean it was surreal they pursued their passions but in different ways [Music] I wasn't seen as a dancer because I hadn't done ballet as ignorant as it is it's just that there isn't enough exposure and I went on to study Puri manipuri and I really focused on Indian classical Styles because I wanted to gain that vocabulary for when I do choreograph I very much decided to elevate Indian dance show that it's just as strong technically rich and can also work commercially in the west without it just being a gimmick without it being a moment without it being a Cheesy thing my challenge was that like I just happened to be in a brown South Asian body doing Western things and that was the Rarity because most girls would grow up training doing part not them doing the classical training as Indian Americans growing up here we always have a bit of that imbalance of how do I find myself to be American enough how do I get myself to be Indian enough because you're being raised with Indian values in an American lifestyle it's true started working I kind of had to lean into my South asian-ness in order to be seen what I started to do was kind of I created like this Fusion between Bollywood bar not them and Hip-Hop but let me show them a little in between a little middle ground so it's a mix between Indian and America right and so I started doing that in my freestyles and they liked it the people liked that and that's how they embrace me RR even with progress there are still hurdles this year natu natu from rrr made Oscars history the first song from an Indian language film to win best original song but with over 20 dancers performing on the Oscar stage none were South Asian when I decided not to do it because I've done the ostrich before I was like let me open this door for another South Asian I can't be the only South Asian and you had no idea there would be zero then let me know no idea the performance receiving criticism for its lack of South Asian representation Oscar's producer Raj Kapoor spoke about the casting process in a piece published in the Academy's in-house magazine saying in part we want it to be open to any ethnicity to help honor the global impact of the song this is why that performance and that the outrage was such a great thing because I think it is causing a bigger and creating a bigger conversation this is reflecting like what the American minorities want to see we want to be seen as like the fabric of American society just one normalize this brown body normalized in America and where are we seeing if we're not seeing telling our own stories and then we're not seeing telling the stories that you don't want us to tell because we're not American when we are then where do we fit in that's not fair what does that feel like that your community wasn't on there it's really disheartening because it's something where these opportunities only come along once every decade 15 years 20 years we've spent all these years building this table that we can't even sit at or there's plenty of talented South Asians in our industry when you talk about like what you're doing to get on the stage do you guys see the parallels this journey the South Asian journey to getting and staying on the stage your Simon simultaneously trying to fit into a box but you also don't fit in that box and you have to find where you do fit and it's always going to be a struggle and you just have to know that just because the spotlight wasn't programmed specifically for you in that spot doesn't mean that it can't move and that's what we're doing now we're moving the needle we're shifting where the spotlight stands now having support of your own people and another South Asian woman is very unfortunately unique and I count on my hand how many women and I want to change that I want every I don't want I don't like that it feels that way but that's one of the other reasons why this relationship is also very special is because it's a rare thing during many challenges the two turning to each other for inspiration one step at a time one thing that I love so much about us is that we're too we're the opposite sides of the same coin we can be South Asian and go about representing South Asian Heritage into very different ways but still be very present so I'm digging this hole up to get out into the light we just have a shovel trying to make it yoya is right behind me and she has a free hand because she's not holding a shovel she's holding a flashlight and that light's on me she's the one who tells me who I am I'm seen I feel seen because she sees me we certainly see them our thanks to zorin for that and be sure to tune in tonight for our cultural conversation special honoring AA nhpi month at 8 30 p.m

wherever wherever the story is we're going to take you there you're streaming ABC News live good evening everyone this is ABC News live Prime I'm Lindsey Davis thanks so much for streaming with us we've got a lot of news to cover tonight including the incredible loss of music icon Tina Turner for Life music and the Legacy she left behind plus the newest official entrance to the 2024 race after Ron DeSantis launched his campaign in a rather unconventional way and igniting Hope from tragedy how one family in Uvalde helped change the conversation around the massacre with a single pair of green sneakers our correspondents are fanned out across the country covering those stories and much more for us tonight but we do begin with the passing of Tina Turner the queen of rock and roll Turner's publicist announced her death this afternoon saying today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work her music known for her magical voice and it's like What's Love Got to Do With It Rolling Stone once named her one of the greatest singers of all time Turner escaped an abusive marriage and remade herself as a solo artist a figure of power and strength and a Trailblazer for so many Morgan Norwood leads us off tonight with more on her life and Legacy [Music] for her millions of fans love had everything to do with it and there was so much to love they loved the trademark Maine of hair they love the strut and most of all they loved the voice that rocked the Raptors [Music] Turner was born Anime Bullock and ruled nut Bush Tennessee in 1960 she went to work for a band leader named Ike Turner he gave her a new name for the new job a stormy marriage followed during which Tina accused Ike of frequent physical abuse they broke up after 16 years and she was off on a roller coaster solo career she knew those Peaks and valleys well the dry spells and The Comebacks [Music] you want me to do Turner converted to Buddhism and credited her new religion with helping her through the rough patches she took on celebrated film roles as the Acid Queen and Tommy [Music] and the apocalyptic Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome you think I got a Kennedy Honors recipient and a 12-time Grammy award winner who was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame once with Ike and then 30 years later in 2021 as a solo artist I'm very happy to have achieved this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Tina Turner's gritty Roots were never far off in that raspy sultry I've seen it all and I take back nothing voice [Music] all right that she wants our thanks to Morgan Norwood for that as we continue to remember Tina Turner we'd like to bring in someone who knew her personally Ken Ehrlich who served as executive producer of the Grammys for 35 years was also a friend in collaborator Ken thank you so much for joining us of course to us she was an icon but you knew her in a deeper way what's your reaction to the news today it's very sad uh you know um unfortunately we see more and more of these things the the longer we live the more we we find ourselves mourning those who are gone who had such a great impact uh not just for what their accomplishments were but who they were as people and Tina was certainly in both of those departments very special and unique you first met when you were producing the live concert TV series soundstage describe that moment for us um she was not at her at her Peak at that it was just before What's Love Got to Do With It And Private Dancer hit so she had been she had had her moments of Glory in the in the 70s and maybe even the late 60s uh but this was not the best time for her and uh she was great to work with she was always great to work with but it was as though she was waiting for the next thing to happen and then shortly after that it did happen and then the next time we met was on the Grammy stage and it was pretty amazing so it's we all love it when these comeback stories uh have a ring of Truth to them and with Tina it absolutely had more than a ring of Truth it was the truth you were responsible for the performance when she performed with Beyonce at the Grammys in 2008 you produce that duet you could really see the influence there what was it like to work with both of them on that uh you know what it was it was such a labor of love uh and it was really and they both were in love with each other right from the from the get-go but Beyonce as soon as we as soon as I asked her to do this she started working on this piece and she basically put together and if you you can you can catch it on YouTube if you look at the at the setup for it where Beyonce does this three and a half minute homage to the great African-American singers of of all time and pays it off with Tina and then Tina came out and did a medley of a couple of hits and then Beyonce came out and joined her for Proud Mary it's like it it was one of these things that was so meant to be and the love between the two of them comes across so it's rare but when it happens like that you you never forget it how will you remember Tina Turner God uh well an amazing artist there's no question about her talent and what she gave but again I I just she was a remarkable person and those two things don't always go together but in her case they certainly did Ken Ehrlich we thank you so much for your Insight really appreciate you giving us your time today my pleasure good to talk to you Lindsay today marks one year since the shooting at Rob Elementary School in Uvalde Texas at this hour members of the community are gathering for a vigil to remember the 21 lives lost 19 fourth grade students and two teachers for the families they left behind the passage of time has helped heal some wounds others will last a lifetime many are focusing their grief to call for Action to stop gun violence ABC's John Quinones has reported from Uvaldi since the attack and he's there for us again tonight one year after the massacre at Robb Elementary 21 butterflies released in the memory of the lives lost that day 19 students and two teachers church bells ringing out across Uvalde at 12 49. the moment the gunman was finally taken down in that classroom foreign at the White House with President Biden and the first lady before the president addressed the families and the nation affected by gun violence it's been hard to make progress but there will come a point where our voices are so loud our determination is so clear that we can no longer be stopped we will act for the last year we have stayed in Uvalde following the families as they pushed for stricter gun laws and demanded accountability we want
