Kasem, the longtime americas top 40 host, was suffering from dementia when he died last year. He was 82 years old. His children say they would rather see his widow in jail than receive one dime of his money. And a new lawsuit is being filed in the death of fast and furious star paul walker. His father is suing porsche claiming the carrera gt his son was riding in lacked potentially life saving safety features. He was a passenger in the sports car when it crashed into a tree bursting into flames. In responding to a similar suit that was brought by walkers daughter earlier, porsche said walker was well aware of the risk and dangers of that vehicle. Its the end of a tradition at west point.

Quite a bond for those guys. Coming up, avoid a thanksgiving turkey disaster. The bird has to go in the oven at some point today. Make sure it comes out just right with some tips from the Butterball Turkey talk line. Im not going to say gobble gobble, stick around. Announcer world news now continues after this from our abc stations. Announcer world news now continues af so here we are early on thanksgiving morning. And theres a turkey that needs to be cooked. So here we are early on thanksgiving morning. And theres a turkey that needs to be cooked. For many, thats where the trouble starts. This year were not messing around. We need an expert. Joining us now on the phone is marge with butterballs turkey talk line. Marge, good morning. Good morning. I got to ask you, an this point, am i in trouble if my turkey is still alive . If its still alive, you better catch it quick. But marge, there are a lot of people who are firsttime bird cookers this thanksgiving. What do you do if youve left the gizzards inside and forgot to take them out . A lot of people panic over that, but its not a problem at all. Its really part of the turkey. I dont know how good the giblets will be after theyve cooked inside the bird, but its not going to hurt the turkey. Okay. So marge, what would you say then is the most basic thing that you can tell us to do to ensure success when we are cooking our turkey today . Well, the best thing is to have a Meat Thermometer because then you can monitor exactly when the turkeys done. It will not overcook that way. And because overcooking gives you dry meat. And so a meet thermometer is really important and i know its a little late to get one at this point. If you dont have one, is there another way to gauge timing and how ready the bird is . Well, you know, we do have some charts with times. And if you kind of follow that, that will be a big help. But you can pierce the skin on the thigh area. Thats the last part to finish cooking. And if the juices run clear, thats an indication its done. Who knew. Thats good to know. What do you do if youve overcooked the bird and its way too dry . Well, all you can do is add either some you know broth or some gravy and serve it with the gravy to help, you know, mask that. There isnt anything else you can do really. Marge, my turkey is supposed to look black at the end, right . No, not quite. Not quite. Golden brown is what youre looking for. But and going back to, all right, say ive caught the turkey and its still frozen at this point. Is it too late to defrost it and still make it in time for dinner . Probably, unless you only have a twopound turkey. It takes 30 minutes per pound to defrost in cool water. So you know, a 20pound bird, you have to have ten hours before it will defrost. If its still frozen at this point, you really cant cooking from frozen. Its just a little harder to determine when its going to be done. And it wont cook as evenly but you know, worst comes to worst, youll have to do it that way. Whats better, stuffing inside in the cavity or outside . Its really a personal preference. I like mine inside the bird. But you do have a few cautions, and one is, dont make your stuffing ahead so that youre putting cold stuffing inside the bird or it wont get done. Rather, you can get all your ingredients ready if youre cooking part of the ingredients, do that. And refrigerate that but dont mix it with the crumbs till its just ready to go into the oven. Do the mixing in the bird. And then check the temperature. It needs to reach 165 to know the stuffing is safe. Theres so much to think about. Do you also know the number to pizza hut just in case everything goes wrong. Oh, no, it wont go wrong. Youre going to have a wonderful turkey today. Marge, you have a happy thanksgiving. Thank you. Its been fun to be with you. Marge with butterballs turkey talk line. You are such a lifesaver every year. Thank you and happy thanksgiving. The funny thing is shes actually having tofurkey.

Tomorrow marks two weeks since the attacks in paris. Were now hearing more details about the assault on the bataclan theater. The california band eagles of death metal was on stage as bullets started flying. Founder shane smith sat down with the band for an exclusive interview. Shawn london was the sounds engineer that night. He reloaded again and thats when we all ran. I picked a girl up and basically had to push her forward to get her to go because she was in such shock. The front doors are glass. And there was a glass door. So i went to push it and i mean, id say a foot away from me hitting the door, it shattered. That means a bullet hit. We just got through it and we ran out. We had to jog over bodies dead out front. Band members are grateful for all the support theyve gotten from fans. Lawmakers in france voted overwhelmingly to extend air strikes against syria into the new year. The campaign intensified since authorities cited specific threats from the Islamic State against french interests. German chancellor Angela Merkel is promising to stand by france saying it will do Everything Possible to prevent attacks like those that devastated paris nearly two weeks ago. Iran is now getting involved in the aftermath of that downed russian jet. The iranian president blames turkey for heightening tensions in the region saying the plane was flying in syrian air space at the time.

Another night of protests in chicago over the death of a black teenager shot by a Police Officer 16 times. Newly obtained dashcam video shows 17yearold Laquan Mcdonald running from officers. Police are facing questions because no voices can be heard. Theyre blaming it on technical difficulties. Were learning about a spring of complaints lodged against the officer who pulled the trigger. Heres abcs alex perez. Reporter those new details on Chicago Police officer jason van dykes past. According to civilian Watchdog Group invisible institute, at least 20 citizen complaints filed against van dyke since he joined the force in 2001, including allegations of using Excessive Force and racial slurs. But so far, van dyke has not been disciplined. And, we are also learning more about what officials claimed happened the night of the shooting back in october of last year, when they were responding to a call of a man with a knife breaking into cars. He wasnt dropping the knife and he was coming at the officer. Reporter but investigators now say that dash cam video shows Laquan Mcdonald never threatened van dyke, and in fact, was walking away when van dyke shot him 16 times in 15 seconds. The video sending shock waves across chicago. Protesters taking to the streets. States attorney Anita Alvarez facing criticism for investigating the case nearly a year before charging van dyke with firstdegree murder, and responding to allegations officers deleted Surveillance Video from a nearby burger king the night of the incident. It doesnt appear that theyve been tampered with and did not reveal, you know, any of that kind of evidence. However, the investigation will always continue. Reporter a district manager for the chain telling abc news the investigators did tamper with the video files. Van dykes defense argues he feared for his life when he opened fire. This is not a murder case, despite what you heard in the courtroom. Reporter legal experts say a first degree murder charge for a Police Officer is rare. Why is it so unusual . Because its a hard case to prove, and particularly against a cop. To be convicted of first degree murder, it has to be shown that you intended to do serious bodily harm or death and that you had no justification for it. Reporter and yet another round of protests here in chicago. This group, making their way through downtown. All of these protests, so far, peaceful. Alex perez, abc news, chicago.
