Absolutely. Thank you very much. Lets move to todays special closely watched session of congress. Roberts hurs investigation of President Bidens handling of classified documents. He called the president s memory into discussion. We have two reports. Well start with nc special White House Correspondent peter alexander. Hey, peter. Good morning. Reporter robert hur will step into the spotlight today asked why he did not correct mend criminal charges against President Biden. He chose to detail his assessments of the president s memory, what democrats have slammed as gratuitous. This morning nbc news obtained a copy of hurs explanation, saying he simply explained to the attorney general his decision and his reasons for it as he was required to do. This morning after a year of public silence, special counsel robert hur will testify before congress. Et hur, a former u. S. Attorney appointed by then President Trump has faced fierce backlash following his report about President Bidens handling of classified material, saying he found evidence the president willfully retained documents but not enough evidence to prove his case to a jury, citing among other reasons that President Biden would come across as a sympathetic elderly wellmeaning moon with a poor memory. The president doing damage control. Im an old man, and i know what they will do. Reporter President Biden is still trying to dispel voter concerns about his ace to nerve a second time. Im not a young guy. Thats no secret. I understand how to get things done for the american people. Reporter mr. Trump seized on the report last month. Crooked joe got off scotfree. I dont know if youd call it scotfree. They said he was a mental basket ice. Reporter in fact, hur did not say that. Still, House Republicans are likely to accuse hur of giving President Biden a pass and additional observations about joe bidens diminished faculties, and hurs conclusions that no criminal charges were warranted, and theyll look at a distinction between President Biden who cooperated with the investigation and mr. Trump who prosecutors say repeatedly refused to return classified documents and obstructed the investigation into misconduct. Hes now facing 40 criminal charges. Overnight, a key witness speaking out on cnn describing moving those classified documents at maralago. They were the boxes that were in the indictment, the white bankers boxes. Thats what i remember loading. And did you have any idea at the time that there was potentially u. S. National security secrets in those boxes . No clue. I had no clue. Reporter a lawyer for mr. Trump declined to comment on cnn. Now nbc learns more. The president often appeared to be thinking out loud in response to specific questions and other points he recalled in specific deteal during his time as vp. One key thing, despite his intentions that hur brought up his sons beaus death first, the transcript shows it was reported. Lets turn now to hallry jackson. He takes on his critics saying theres too much color about the president s mental state. Yeah. Hes trying to defend himself. That is what you will see today based on this opening statement, savannah. He lays it out clearly saying, i need to explain why i made the decision not to charge President Biden. He says, yes, everything he wrote was necessary and accurate and fair, that he was trying to analyze the evidence, trying to think of ways that the defense might try to poke holes in the case, if you will, and that is why he included some of the material about the president s age, his mental lapses, his memory lapses, the things he said over the course of this multihour interview. Keep in mind, savannah, robert hur is not exactly a household name. Hes done a White House Briefing at the podium years ago during the trump administration. The doj, an official there, confirms this morning he will be testifying as a private citizen, getting intense scrutiny from both democrats and republicans. One former justice official who knows hur tells me he suspects during questioning hell probably stay within the contours of the report itself, color inside the lines, and not go beyond too much of the scope of the investigation and that this really is a highprofile moment for him and for President Biden. Republicans see an opportunity here. Thats why they called him to testify. What is their approach today and how do republicans plan to counter it . Hammer on the age issue, hammer on the memory lapses, hammer on any other instances where the president forgot any key details or key moments. The backdrop to that, of course, is this Election Year where, as you know, more than half voters say they do have concerns about the president s age for office. For democrats, theyll hit on a couple of key moments. Number one, the whole point of this report in the first place is there will not be charges brought against biden. Expect to see them lay out the clear differences in President Bidens case and that of former President Trump where legal issues are working their way through court. The white house expects aggressive pushback. One aid tell mess they see this nothing more than a political exercise. They see this as a case closed. And a biden aid points us to the state of the union last week. They feel like President Biden with his energetic speech has made the case hes well prepared to take on the house for another four issues in washington. Thank you. 7 15 a lot more to get to. Were following breaking news this morning overnight tied to the israelhamas war and the effort to get more humanitarian aid into gaza. After a brief delay, a ship carrying 200 tons of food is on its way to the territory Richard Engel joins us now from the island of cyprus richard, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, craig.

Each stop has to be carefully prepared and executed. It is on miles from cyprus to gaza but, because it is towing a barge loaded with rice, beans, cans of meat, fish, it will travel 3 miles an hour. The journey is expected to take three days. And getting to gaza is only part of the challenge. Then there is distribution with no such. With so much desperation, the limited aid trucks have often been overrun. And air drops, which have a limited capacity, have turned deadly. Last week medical Officials Say five people israel is allowing into gaza has been underrun. And air drops, which have a limited capacity, have turned deadly last week medical Officials Say five people were crushed by falling palates of food. So this time the worlds central kitchen is using gazan labor to build a pier to receive the barge. President biden warned israel not to use food as a weapon of hamas and called the planned invasion of the city of rafah, gaza, a red line because more than a million palestinians are sheltering there israel says hamas is hiding among them im never going to leave israel the defense of israel is Still Critical there is no red line where im going to cut off their weapons and the iron dome. Reporter netanyahu responded in discussions with President Biden. We cannot leave a whole Hamas Terrorist Army in place. Thats a red line. We cant let hamas survive.

One of my absolute favorites. I love that song. He was 74 years old. We have a busy morning that royal photo thats got the world talking. Yes, it does. Billed as the first video of princess kate since her surgery in january, it was called out for being manipulated. Kate herself admitted that she had edited that picture, but this morning a lot of questions still remain molly hunter is at the Buckingham Palace. Molly, good morning. Reporter guys, good morning. A lot of questions still remaining. We are still talking about this photo two days after it was posted we have gone back to Kensington Palace to ask them about it. They said they have no plans to release the original photo all they will tell us is the adjustments were, quote, minor seemingly trying to dampen down speculation. Reporter this morning the headlines here in the uk a picture of chaos, all focused on the pr crisis spiraling into day two as Kensington Palace stands firm on not releasing the original photograph. But there is another new photo of the princess of wales snapped by a uk photo agency her face barely visible in the car with husband Prince William leaving windsor yesterday hours after kate issued an apology over that now famous photophot photo explaining her experimental editing and forcing News Agencies to kill the photo because it had been altered. You can count on your hand. There was so much adverse reaction in the media. But she also wants to try to take the heat off of some of her advice. Reporter Prince William is keeping on and carrying on at least publicly on monday and not discussing the pr situation back at home. In the last 36 hours, photo editors the world over have been dissecting every pixel of this photograph, finding a dozen inconsistencies, including a portion of charlottes red sleeve appears to be missing the edge of charlottes hair appears to blur unnaturally. The corner of her skirt appears disrupted. And look here, the edges of the tiles appear repeated. The last official outing for the 42yearold princess christmas oddly straight here kates zipper and hair appear miss aligned. Louiss sweater pattern appears disrupted. And look here. The edges of the tile appear repeated the last official outing for the 42yearold princess christmas day, just a few weeks before her planned abdominal surgery. A few weeks later, kate returned home to recuperate, but the palace never explained why she needed surgery, only claiming she would return to public duties after easter. And, yet, the absence of details has fueled more questions than the palace ever expected. So many questions, you guys i know we, as in the royal we, want more information from Kensington Palace. Take a look at this new poll taken in the uk that finds 20 say Kensington Palace offered too Little Information and 49 say it is about right. Guys, i think its safe to say we are in the 49 . Ill send it back to you maybe the public isnt as interested as the media is thank you. But, molly, lets keep talking about it we have a lot to unpack joining us from Buckingham Palace, daisy mccanter so we saw kate in the car with her husband, which tells us that shes well enough to be riding around what else did that image tell you . Reporter i think that was yet another attempt by Kensington Palace, by Buckingham Palace, to try to reassure the public kate is fine, kate is up and out of bed we cant believe what they are telling us but it hasnt stopped the darker edges from continuing to ask question after question. If we cant trust this photograph, if they have been photoshoping this, what else can we trust im afraid there are still a lot of questions that havent been answered. Its so weird, daisy. I dont know if its a paparazzi shot or palace shot. Either way, you barely see her shes looking away if this is their idea of damage control, it is not doing it. And then you just wonder, why wouldnt they release the original photo then. Why not just tamp down the speculation and end this nonsense reporter i personally completely agree with you. I think to you and to me that seems really obvious, but i think to them behind me, they feel like they want to be in charge of the narrative, and if People Like Us in the media keep demanding and demanding and they say, oh, yes, rolling over and giving us what we want, they feel that might be a slippery slope and they might not get back into control. That doesnt stop people from saying, maybe this wasnt taken last week. Maybe this was taken last november maybe this was a preoperation paragraph and maybe kate is more poorly than theyre letting on now, of course, thats not necessarily what most people believe, but you can understand why some believe it. I mean, daisy, you know, people edit photos all the time. What if she is just a bad photo editor i dont understand how this even happened is there no sort of system in place before photos go out that someone says, you know what, this is a bad photoshop job, maybe we should send it back help us explain the process. Reporter i think there are a number of things that have happened here. Kate is a very, very keen amateur photographer she has taken hundreds of photographs of her own family and shes put them out there and there havent been many complaints in the past there have been a few people saying thats a bit amateur and so on, but there havent been, you know, this hedge deluge of criticism, but, of course, thats all changed since the suspicion about where has kate been for the last couple of months everything she does and every photo she puts out is under much more intense scrutiny than before. All right, daisy. I guess were going to do this story again tomorrow. I guess so. It just seems like theyre making a bad situation worse, and i know they want to control the narrative, but that ship has sailed might as well just go ahead. Put the picture out. Unless there is something fishy. Thats why its whacky all right. Well well, keep talking about it. Coming up, an eye opening new report on screen time. What it is revealing about the impact on our kids, ourselves, and why it should be time for the entire family to unplug. First, though, Scott Peterson set to ap this morning.

Scott peterson convicted for killing his wife and unborn son is trying to get flood trial. Hes going to do it with the los angeles Innocence Project. Liz, good morning. Reporter hey, guys. Good morning. Yes, scots peterson is expected to appear virtually via zoom, but his attorneys with the Innocence Project will be here in court for the very first time. Despite what investigators say is overwhelming evidence that he is guilty, including a jury that convicted him, Scott Petersons new attorneys say there is evidence that supports his longstanding claim of innocence. This morning, convicted killer Scott Peterson set to appear virtually in court as he makes yet another attempt to get his case retried. The status hearing comes just weeks after the los angeles Innocence Project announced they were now representing the now 51yearold. Peterson is serving a life sentence without parole for the 2002 murders of his wife and child. At the time Modesto Police said he dumped them into the San Francisco bay where months later their bodies washed up. But now there is a different theory arguing laci may have been killed by burglars who broke into the home across the street from the peterson. He has spent years looking into questions he also has about the case. Speaking out to dateline. When did you think they made a mistake in the case . You know, it wasnt really scott. It was looking into, you know, all the tips. It all ultimately came down to the burglary across the street. Reporter another part of the theory, a burned out orange van containing a bloody mattress found in modesto the morning after laci disappeared. The attorneys want to do a sampling to determine if theres any of lacis dna. To this day, former modesto fire investigator who responded to that van fire questions why that didnt happen during the trial. I figured when the court started and the trial all started up that someone would reach out to me. Reporter a former lead gtser in the original case, john buehler, tells us he never even knew about it. Youre saying when the Innocence Project came out that was the first you had ever learned about this orange van . Yeah. I had never learned about it beforehand. Im confused it never came to light. Reporter still he stands by the conviction. Im completely confident we got the right guy. Testing, lets see where it leads. Reporter remember, just some of the circumstantial evidence against Scott Peterson includes lying about a mistress, going fishing alone on Christmas Eve the day laci disappeared, and what investigators say was his odd baev after she disappeared including dyeing his hair and carrying thousands of dollars in cash. Scott petersons family is expected to be in court to support him. As for lacis family, they have said nothing since the l. A. Innocence project took on this case. Thanks. Were joined by danny cevallos. This is a very difficult road, but the l. A. Innocence project has a lot of proficiency in these kinds of cases. What is today about . Today is not a hearing where Scott Peterson could walk free or even get a new trial. The only thing his motion seeks is testing of old dna evidence, dna evidence, that, in fact, was tested already back in 2019. That makes it an even higher burden for Scott Peterson. He has to show, there was this dna evidence and it was tested, but the way it was tested was not good enough. We have means of doing it now that is better and it might lead to the identity of another bad guy who did this instead of me. E thats quite a number of obstacles peterson has today is just a status hearing to see how this goes forward procedurally. There was a burglary nearby at the same time they said happened on one date and later found out it happened on another date so how are these circumstances playing in Scott Petersons favor . The defenses theory has bee burglary across the street around the same time. For a long time there was a burglary recoalmost across the street around the same time, and even that is contested because as the state would say, if that burglary happened two days after Laci Peterson disappeared and everyone was looking for them, it is impossible that it had anything to do with their disappearance. Timing is key here but there are at least two burglars that were involved with that and you have a violent crime, which is a Home Invasion happening across the street. It is certainly a viable theory that they might have maybe laci came upon the burglary and they took her to quiet her and bad things happened to her, but in terms of newly discovered evidence, thats not newly discovered this has been known, as you mentioned, for decades, so it wouldnt necessarily meet that standard of evidence because it really isnt new. Really quickly getting to the distinction between the l. A. Innocence prong and the Innocence Project that we have all come to know in this country. These are all innocence groups in the country. They all Work Together the l. A. Innocence project is affiliated with an academic institution.

If you feel like youre dragging during the day or yawning at work, how about this maybe a nap is in store. Maybe you neaed a little nap. Were going to talk about that in just a moment, but first a look at the state of sleep in america. Napping is having a moment as more and more americans report theyre finding it hard to get a good nights sleep 37 of u. S. Adults say they slept worse in 2023 than in previous years, with nearly 20 saying they struggle with not being able to fall asleep or stay asleep. It is no wonder, then, that google searches for the word sleep hit an alltime high last year, with Many Americans asking, why am i tired all the time we do know that as a society we dont get enough sleep. We also have a poor quality sleep problem. Only four in ten adults report their sleep is sleep restorative. A possible solution catching shuteye during the day can help habitual nappers had a larger total brain size known as brain volume than those who did not nap, a sign of good Overall Brain Health linked to lower stress levels and a lower risk of dementia. Researchers at mit and Harvard Medical School found people have more productivity and are even more creative after a short nap. Leading many to consider replace powering through with a powerful nap. Rejoice, nap nation, rejoice a leading sleep researcher and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School so weve got the credentials here this is great. I like to nap. Weve got crazy hours. You do not so if you are a napper, there are great benefits, and now we are. There are napping can be a good lifeline if youve not had a good night of sleep but Research Shows a little nap can help boost our productivity and creativity anyone that is struggling with sleep at night should not nap. Well, i think Everyone Wants to know about the timing for a nap because i feel like whenever i do try, and i dont do it often, i feel horrible when i wake up. I feel like im lost and i dont feel sharp. That might just be a mistimed nap. The recommendations are quite specific it is 20 minutes or less or a little longer, about a 90minute nap. Say in the afternoon if you have a saturday afternoon and some extra time and you had a long week cut short on your sleep, you might indulge in the 90minute nap. But the 20 minutes or less is a great way to go if you are sleepy. Does napping make up for lost sleep . We have crazy hours. We get up too early and we probably dont get enough sleep. Can a nap is there a sleep deficit you can put money in the bank for in a perfect world, we would be hitting our personal sleep need night in and night out, but life happens so napping can be a great resource when you are really struggling or not getting quite enough sleep. A lot of people work normal jobs 9 00 to 5 00. They have kids theyre exhausted. They want to nap, but there is not the opportunity. You mentioned a couple minutes. What does that mean and how do you mean that . Whats amazing is moments, even seconds in a stage 1 sleep that we enter when we enter a nap is actually extremely beneficial for productivity and creativity after napping one of the reasons People Struggle is they say, oh, no, i dont have enough time for a good nap but what the Research Shows is even a few seconds, closing your eyes, hopefully in a safe place. Ideally horizontal or at least leaning back so you can be safe in case you lose muscle tone. Hoda meditates. That also does a lot for your brain, doesnt it . Brain health, our heart health. It does theres so much Amazing Research on meditation. Not only for our mental health, our brain health, our heart health but good meditators are doing something close to sleep i wouldnt be surprised if you are benefitting. I come out with clarity and energy, which is why i like the meditation. And some people do that for napping. I think thinking about it is meditation or napping. What were doing is giving our brain rest from our days we just talked about screens and all the information were taking in i think all are beneficial. Thank you. Thank you so much. Dylan, over to you. Well, we are going to see a good amount of sunshine, which the rain usually helps me nap a little more, so the sun might do the opposite of that get outside.

Welcome back, guys this morning on your health, we are putting menopause in the spotlight. It is something all women face yet, the topic is understudied. Now a leading researcher found a connection between menopause and the brain. Good morning, yet, the topic is understudied certainly compared to other Womens Health issues, but now a leading researcher found a connection between menopause and the brain. Maria shriver joins us. Good morning, maria. Good morning to you, visions in purple. Well, dr. Lisa has been studying womens brains for most of her career but it wasnt until recent years until she discovered the starring role it plays in menopause. Now shes prepared to arm women. She wrote a book to better navigate this transformative time in their lives and come out the other side stronger than ever menopause is a rite of passage for all women of a certain age and with it comes physical and emotional changes. Many people are familiar with the changes, but some of the changes will catch them off guard. Hot flashes and night sweats, insomnia, anxiety, depressive symptoms, brain fog. Reporter but according to dr. Lisa and her innovative research, it turns out that these uncomfortable and disruptive symptoms dont come from changes in the ovaries. They come from changes in the brain. This is revolutionary, right . The idea that this is generated by the brain its not that its new in terms of science, but it is new in terms of explaining to women, this is whats going on. Women will go through menopause, and that is the end of the womens reproductive life and thats really only half of what menopause is about. It does impact your brain and your brain health. This component to menopause has been completely overlooked. The 2017 study was the first ever published about the effects of menopause on the brain. With her sights set on the subject, she says her discoveries couldgamechanging for women. You look at the brain and the brain changes to take place as a woman goes from having a menstrual cycle to not having a menstrual cycle the reduction in brain energy levels, reductions in gray matter volume in brain regions the blood flow to the brain is impacted. You can actually tell a women your brain is changes and we can prove it to you. Yes and that was wonderful for us because it is about validating what women have been saying for hundreds of years. Reporter until now, women have been given Little Information on this transitional period, what she calls going from reproductive to productive. She believes for some women, their brains could actually be better before menopause than before. What we find during puberty and pregnancy is that the brain actually shrinks, and the shrinkage means that some neurons are lost perhaps thats also part of what were seeing in menopause. All these neurons that are important for reproduction, you dont need them anymore. So you have a theory that menopause actually might be good for the brain and that its a chance to get leaner and meaner or more efficient. This is something were testing right now. The menopause brain is the brain in transition. And that comes with some vulnerabilities, but also with resilience and the resilience aspect has really been overlooked in western medicine. What do you want people to take away from the menopause brain . Women have been taught to really fear their hormones and doubt their brains, and that is unacceptable the more women talk about menopause openly, the sooner we will be able to come up with information we really need to make sure all of us can embrace this life event without fear, but armed with knowledge and confidence i think thats the main thing, armed with knowledge and confidence this book is called the menopause brain, but these symptoms start impairing menopause. Women will experience depression, irritability, lack of sleep all these things they often go to the doctor and are given an ssri because theyre told theyre depressed. This is a normal part of the transition. The part about it being braincentered changes treatment . Yes, because it can change when you start, if you choose to start hrt. And there is a window that most doctors believe is a good time to start and then it is a neuro protector of the brain this is a whole evolving area of science right now that is getting a lot of attention and much needed. A big spotlight also is on Womens Health. Yes. You were at the state of the union where President Biden announced 12 billion so that women can be tested for things that happen to women this was a huge step. This is a transformative kind of guamchanging moment in Womens Health because women have not been studied. Medication women take has not been studied on women. The estrogen studies have all been done on men this is a Health Equity issue. This will bring womens research up to speed. Hes going to sign some executive orders, some things he can get done but this will also need congressional approval but Women Deserve more tests, more research so that they can make decisions in their Health Journey based on facts and studying womens issues but also using women in studies of drugs that are for men and women. And studying women particularly at midlife and beyond, which is when women get sick, when many of the chronic diseases begin it is hard to believe that many of these drugs are only tested on men. Estrogen . This is a Health Equity issue that will be righted. Thank you, maria. All right were back you can scan the qr code and shop the recipe.
