And good morning, everybody. Welcome to today on a thursday morning. 3yearolds, theyre just like us. You just want to take that off his head. If you look at the video carefully, she got his wallet, too. This all happened on Westminster Bridge and at parliament behind me, a very dramatic day at the heart of british democracy. Terror outside parliament. This car, a weapon used to kill and injure dozens on Westminster Bridge. The brutal attack caught on cctv. The driver accelerating in a cycle lane. A woman diving into the river thames. The car swerving on to the sidewalk. Antiterror police say the attacker was known to them but his name has not been released. Overnight, police in birmingham, north of land, made arrests. Homes in london were raided, too. We continue to be going after our investigation that this attacker acted alone and was inspired by international terrorism. Reporter the murderousous rampage struck at the very heart of britains democracy. The driver crashing at the gates of parliament before running in and stabbing a police officer. A british junior foreign minister trying desperately to revive the policeman. He didnt make it. Keith palmer was a 15year veteran, a husband and a father. Among the 40 injured an hundreds running for their lives, many tourists shocked at the speed of the driver. He wasnt trying to stop. That was a concern. Yes. Certainly very nervous. We are all obviously from new york city, we are used to a lot of different activities and events. Reporter he had driven his suv across the bridge towards big ben, mounting the sidewalk to hit pedestrians. Many students and tourists. He reached one of the most heavily pro tentected buildings europe, parliament, and crashed before stabbing an unarmed police officer. Armed police then opened fire. Crowds running as shots rang out. The attacker was surrounded and disarmed. At least one knife clearly visible on the ground beside him. Back back back back back reporter fearing another attack, Britains Parliament was in lockdown for hours. This morning, Parliament Got back to work. We know that the victims include three french children, one italian, one american. Reporter 29 people are still injured in the hospital. Many more were shot. Among them, dozens of tourtouri stuck on the london eye, 1 00 feet above the attack, eventually rescued and rushed away. In london today, more police on the streets, but defiance, too. While as you heard, theresa may say, among the injured are people from up to a dozen countries. Like all these terror attacks, it has global echoes. A few minutes ago, londons mayor, sadiq khan, himself a muslim, told nbc news we will not bow to terrorism. Savannah . Bill, we saw in your piece there the cctv footage of the suspect. Where does the investigation on that go now . Reporter well, even though theresa may is saying there was just one attacker, intelligence officials will tell you there is no such thing as a lone wolf attack. So they will be looking and indeed questioning his family, his friends, his associates, theyll be looking closely at other cctv footage of where his car went and his phone records, at his computer records. Theresa may also said just in the last few minutes that he was british born, that he was known to the internal intelligence service, mi5, and investigated for links to extremism. But this was an historic investigation and he was a peripheral figure and he was not on the radar at the moment. And there was no advance warning of this attack. Savannah . Matt . The investigation really just Getting Started this morning, bill neely, thank you. Also this morning, there is new drama surrounding the investigations into possible collusion between members of President Trumps team and russian operatives during the election. This as lawmakers get set to vote on the gops bill to repeal and replace obamacare. We have complete coverage from the white house and capitol hill, and well talk about all of this with one of the leading republicans on the hill, senator john mccain. Lets start with nbc national correspondent, peter alexander. Peter . Good morning. Reporter hey, matt, good morning to you. The top democrat on the House Intelligence Committee is making his strongest statement yet telling nbc news there is more than circumstantial evidence of collusion between Trump Associates and the russians. This all comes as lawmakers are still trying to make sense of what was a highly unusual backtoback news conferences by the Intelligence Committees republican chairman. This morning, a new partisan firestorm after the public airing of traditionally secret information. The president saying he feels vindicated. I must tell you, i somewhat do. I very much appreciated the fact that they found what they found. Reporter the spark this bombshell from the republican chair of the House Intelligence Committee, who also advised mr. Trumps transition team. I have seen intelligence reports that clearly show that the president elect and his team were, i guess at least monitored and disseminated out. Reporter devin nunes was there a physical wiretap of trump tower . No, but there never was. Reporter he says the intelligence was scooped up leg legally during the election and not related to the fbis investigation into possible ties between Trump Associates and russia. What he says is alarming, that the names of some trump team members may have been improperly revealed. Or unmasked. Nunes taking that information straight to the president , even before consulting with his committees top democrat, who quickly fired back. The chairman will need to decide whether he is the chairman of an independent investigation into conduct, or he is going to act as a surrogate of the white house. Because he cannot do both. Reporter nunes defending his decision. Why is it appropriate for you to brief President Trump given it is his own administration or Campaign Associates that are a part of this investigation . The president needs to know that this these intelligence reports are out there and i have a duty to tell him that. Reporter the top democrat then amping up the stakes just days after saying this about the russian connection with Trump Associates. There is circumstantial evidence of collusion. There is direct evidence i think of deception. Reporter the former prosecutor known for care from i choosing his words, now going even further. There is evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worth this i of investigation. Reporter the high stakes back and forth prompting senator john mccain to criticize the Intelligence Committees behavior as bizarre and renew his call for a separate investigation. No longer does the congress have credibility to handle this alone and i dont say that lightly. Reporter meanwhile, the white house is pushing back against any suggestion President Trump knew his former campaign chairman, paul manafort, secretly worked for russian billionaire to help advance Vladimir Putins interest in the u. S. And beyond a decade ago. To suggest that the president knew who his clients were from a decade ago is a bit insane. Reporter manafort telling nbc news he never worked for the russian government, dismissing the Associated Press reports as smear and innuendo. This morning, members of both parties tell nbc news theyre stunned by the head of the House Intelligence Committee making these public statements about an ongoing investigation. They argue it doesnt serve the Public Interest and undermines confidence in the House Intelligence Committee, and, frankly, they say, in the entire process of independent congressional oversight. Matt and savannah . Peter alexander at the white house, peter, thanks. The other big story playing out in washington today, the showdown over the Republican Health care bill. The house is scheduled to vote on it today, and despite lastminute pushes from both the president and the house sneaker, one question remains do they have the votes . Nbcs Kristen Welker on capitol hill this morning. Good morning. Reporter hi, savannah, good morning to you. President trump worked late into the night to try to close this deal. White house officials tell me he reached out to lawmakers directly, and today he will meet with key holdouts. But he still doesnt have enough votes to pass this legislation. But there is measured optimism this morning with the white house offering a sweetener to conservatives. Reporter this morning, a possible breakthrough, reviving the Republican Health care plan that was once on life support. The president and i came to an agreement in principle. Reporter march meadows, the chairman of the conservative House Freedom caucus, one of the main holdouts, now hinting there may be light at the end of the tunnel. I think what we are trying to do now is make sure that our agreement is actually something that can be executed in a way that passes the senate. Reporter later today, the president will pitch the rest of the Freedom Caucus at the white house. Gop leaders and mr. Trump working the phones overnight, lobbying skeptical lawmakers in a lastditch effort to push the Health Care Bill through. At issue, conservatives say the new Health Care Plan, like the current one, is weighed down by too many regulations. To flip those no votes to yes, gop leaders are considering a change that would allow insurers to sell scaledback plans that wouldnt cover things like Maternity Leave and Mental Health services. Giving consumers more choice, proponents say. Critics argue that could leave people unprotected and alienate moderate republicans. Still, House Speaker paul ryan remains determined. The president has been a fantastic closer. Hes been getting votes. This is to me, it is really encouraging. Reporter the vote today steeped in symbolism. We are done. [ applause ] reporter falling on the seventh anniversary of president obama signing his signature Health Care Plan into law. Former Vice President , joe biden, and other democrats wednesday still fighting to keep it intact. Thank you, mr. Vice president , for helping to pass the bill and for being with us today and continuing to fight to protect our care. Thank you. I aint going anywhere. This is not going to pass. [ applause ] reporter even as speculation swirls, the vote could get delayed or scrapped all together. One white house officials insists that wont happen. The question for President Trump can he close his biggest deal yet . Theres no plan b. Theres plan a and plan a. We are going to get this done. Reporter by our latest count, 29 republicans are leaning or planning to vote no. President trump can only afford to lose 21 republicans. In addition to that, there is concern that this latest fix could create a procedural hurdle in the senate. The drama is building with the vote expected in just hours. Matt . Savannah . Kristen welker, thank you very much. We are joined now by republican senator john mccain. Senator, nice to see you. Good morning. Good morning. You know washington. You know the role of oversight that congress has. Can you explain any reason why chairman nunes would have done what he did yesterday, say ive seen reports from the Intelligence Community on this subject, and instead of discussing those reports with members of his own Intelligence Committee and the ranking democratic member, go right to the press and right to the white house. No, i have not seen anything like that and im happy to say that in the senate Intelligence Committee, theres a very good working relationship between senator burr and senator warner, and, no, i have not seen anything like it. It is very disturbing. Reporter you heard what adam schiff said. He said the chairman will need to decide whether hes the chairman of an independent investigation into conduct or he is going to be a surrogate to the white house because he cannot do both. Has chairman nunes so damaged the credibility of the Intelligence Committee that they should just shut down that investigation . Matt, i cant make that decision. Thats up to the leadership of the house. Its up to the house of representatives. I can say that there are so many moving parts here, including the latest news this morning that supposedly there was coordination between the Trump Campaign and the russians, for which i have seen no substantiation, but it continues on and on and on that thats the reason why we need a select committee to clear this whole issue up. By the way, Intelligence Committees and Armed Services committees always work in a bipartisan fashion. Im sorry to see whats happened over there. Senator, the president said, as you just saw, that he felt somewhat vindicated by this information that he received yesterday. But lets back up a minute. The claim that trump made was that then president obama surveilled him in some way before the election at trump tower. What we appear to have learned yesterday is that trump or his associates were somehow incidentally caught up in surveillance after the election, surveillance that was of other legal foreign targets. So i ask you, should he feel vindicated . Is that accusation of wiretap ing by president obama vindicated . I think the president obviously can express his views and emotions. But nothing has changed since the director of the fbi said that there was no evidence that trump towers had been wiretapped. So this changes nothing. That has not been refuted. That has not been refuted by anyone. This new story, as you mentioned, apparently has to do with post election things that happened. But i dont see where the director of the fbis testimony has changed the facts in the slightest way. This story of russian possible connections to Trump Associates during the campaign, you just alluded to this a second ago. About a week ago you said this there is a lot of aspects with this whole relationship with russia and Vladimir Putin that requires further scrutiny. You went on to say, in fact, i think there is a lot of shoes to drop from this centipede. Do you think when all of those shoes drop they may mortally wound this Young Administration . I have no idea because i dont know what those shoes are. But i have been around this town long enough to know, when there is something of this consequence and this enormity, there is always Additional Information that comes out before it is concluded. And we are already seeing that, by the way, this morning, with the allegations that there was coordination between the Trump Campaign and the russians. Ive seen them before, matt. And so theres more to come. And congressman adam schiff who is the democrat on the House Intelligence Committee has now said to nbc that there is more than circumstantial evidence of some kind of collusion between trump Campaign Associates and russia. Have you seen that evidence . Are you aware of it . Do you doubt it . Im not aware of it. I do know that, for example, in the republican convention, there was to be included a provision that called for the provision of defensive lethal weapons to ukraine. Somehow that disappeared. Im still curious about how that happened. Theres lots of those things going on. Let me just ask you, before i let you go, senator, about health care. I know it is happening down the hall from you. But it is going to be a tight vote tonight. A, whats your prediction . Will it pass . And, b, if it doesnt pass, how badly does that damage the president s ability to pass other aspects of his agenda . I dont know if it is going to pass or not, matt. Your information is as good as mine. I do know that theres questions from members from states like mine that expanded medicaid where the bill, as ive seen it and they say there are changes taking place all the time would have Significant Impact on my state of arizona. So i dont know how it is going to turn out, but i do know this, that obamacare, as it is, is imploding, and its not working in arizona where premiums are going up over 100 . So weve got to do something. Yeah. But is this the bill to replace it . I dont know because all of us should wait until it gets over here, if it gets over here, and we have an amending process and we have a parliamentary procedure where we will enact changes that we think are necessary. Senator john mccain, senator, i know how much you love these early hours so i really appreciate you getting up and joining us this morning. Good to be with you. Thanks.

Officials say they believe the attacker acted alone. He was shot and killed by officers, after he drove into people on Westminster Bridge and fatally attacked a police officer. Investigators said the attack, quote, was inspired with international terrorists. Four people, including a police officer, were killed in a string of shootings in northern wisconsin. Officials say it began with a domestic dispute at a bank, followed by two other shootings at a nearby law firm. And apartment complex. The suspect was eventually arrested after an hourslong standoff. And the United States is celebrating its first world baseball classic title. Team usa routed puerto rico 80 in last nights championship game at Dodger Stadium in los angeles.

We have new information on the desperate search for a michig michigan michigan tennessee teenager. Investigators believe 15yearold Elizabeth Thomas was abducted ten days ago by her former teacher. Tammy leitner has the latest on this. Tammy, good morning. Reporter good morning, matt. Were learning more about Elizabeth Thomas home life. She was home schooled until recently when she started attending Public School and thats when meets teacher tad cummins. New signs that 15yearold Elizabeth Thomas had a troubled home life long before she went missing. Her mother, Kimberly Thomas was arrested last year. Charged with child abuse and neglect of her children in 2014 and 2015. According to court records, elizabeth and Three Sisters were allegedly beaten by their mother. In some cases, until they bled. Elizabeth told investigators her mother threw her down the basement stairs and locked her down there. Did you know that elizabeth had a hard life at home . Yeah. She definitely did have a hard life. She would break down sometimes. Sometimes, she just couldnt stop herself from crying. Reporter Ashley Riggins said she knew her best friend elizabeth was in a secret relationship with a guy she said was amazing and perfect. Ashley now believes that relationship was with 50yearold tad cummins, a teacher at her school. I never thought that a girl i had known for 12 years would go and fall in love with someone like that. The truth is, tad is a manipulative person that is narcissistic. Reporter Chandler Anderson said he worked with cummins at two different hospitals. Where cummins was a respiratory therapist before becoming a teacher. I thought it was a dangerous situation because heres someone who craves authority. And theyre going to be in authoritative role, around people who cant say no to him. Reporter the worry heightened by elizabeths chilling last words before she disappeared to her sister, sarah. She looked at me and said, im going to be back by 6 00. If im not back by 6 00, call the police. Reporter meanwhile, the case against elizabeths mother has not yet gone to trial.

And were back, now, with a special series, around the world. And this morning, were talking about the cutting edge of cloning. Cant believe this. Its been two decades since dolly the sheep became a household name. Keir simmons is looking into this. Good morning. This story has taken us from south korea to scotland. From a tiny dog to one of the plan planets largest creatures. We traveled thousands of miles around the world to investigate the world of cloning. Look at her. Reporter meet millie. Officially, the worlds smallest dog. Her folks from puerto rico cant live without her. Now, they hope they wont have to. You love her. She is a special girl. Reporter so special, they are paying 100,000 to clone her. Weve flown to south korea, where nbc news has been granted exclusive access to what amounts to a cloning factory. The doctor behind the operation, rarely gives interviews. But hes cloned nearly 1,000 dogs. 884. Reporter and today, the doctor is implanting a labrador with embryos from millie. Thats the moment. Reporter in 2005, he was at the center of a scandal for falsifying human stem cell research. Since then, he has rebuilt his business. Even expanding into cosmetics. Do you think people deserve a Second Chance . Happily. Reporter hes begun cloning cows to produce highquality steaks. All of these, all cloned. Yeah. Reporter from these mammals to a larger extinct one. In this lab, the team is trying to extact dna from an extinct mammoth. Whether successfully, they wouldnt tell us. But around the world, i meet assigntist alexei tikonov. He searches for mammoths in ice. And he is collaborating with the koreans, trying to bring the longextinct species back to life. Mammoths lived during the last ice age, only existing today in movies. A whole baby mammoth, you can clone from an animal like this. Hair is one of the best sources of dna. Reporter the plan is to use asian elephants as surrogate oth mothers. It wouldnt be easy and may never happen. But you would like to see thousands of these roaming russia again . Yes, of course. Reporter you must be mad. No. Reporter could cloning one day be applied to humans . We traveled to scotland, the birthplace of cloning. It was here, near edingurgh, 20 years ago, when scientists first cloned a mammal. Her name was dolly the sheep. Since then, human cell cloning has helped stop diseases like parkinsons. But cloning humans would simply be unfair. Clone a major baseball player. You expect that child to be a baseball player. They might not want to. He might want to play soccer. Reporter and the scientist who made cloning his business do you hope one day to be able to do this kind of work with humans . No. Absolutely not. Reporter human cloning, scientists say, would be extremely difficult. It is also illegal in many countries. But as for mans best friend, the technology devoted to reigniting pet owners with a beloved campaign on, is changing right now. So, some things you need to know. They have a 40 success rate at cloning those puppies. Even if you do get your pet cloned, it may not be successful. And the dog that you get may not be exactly the same as your original pet. It may have different colors on its fur. Can we go back to the woolley mammoth for a second . What are the potential consequences of Something Like that . Its really difficult to do. If they manage to do it, how many of those can you clone . And what affect would it have on the planet . Theres so many questions raised by this. Like, why . Why would you do that . Yeah. I guess for some people, its a question of just being able to do it. What kinds of things can they discover, as a result of that . Many people are opposed to it. As Bryant Gumbel would say, why .

Good morning, everyone, im bill nealy in london, a city on high alert, especially after a claim this morning from the middle east. The isis Propaganda Agency amak says the attacker was one of its fighters, though it offered no evidence. And this morning Britains Queen elizabeth has sent her sympathies to the bereaved and the injured after what she called shocking events and awful violence. It all happened on Westminster Bridge and at Parliament Just behind me here, an attack at the very heart of british democracy. This morning in birmingham north of london the hunt for the accomplices of the man who carried out the deadly attack. Police arresting eight suspects so far. Continues to be born out by our investigation that this attacker acted alone and was inspired by international terrorism. Reporter the murderous rampage struck at the very heart of britains democracy. This car a weapon used to kill and injure dozens on westminster a woman diving into the river thames. The car swerving on to the sidewalk. The driver, crashing at the gates of parliament before running in and stabbing an unarmed police officer. A british junior foreign minister, tried desperately to revive the policeman. He didnt make it. The attacker had driven his car across the bridge, towards big ben, mounting the sidewalk to hit pedestrians, many students and tourists. He reached one of the most heavily protected buildings in europe, parliament. And crashed before stabbing the police officer. Armed police opened fire. Crowds running, as shots rang out. I looked arnold, heard four shots. Maybe three or four. Bam, bam, bam. Sounded like. Reporter Antiterror Police say the attacker was known to them. But his name has not been released. Today, Parliament Got back to work. We know that the victims include three french children, one italian, one american. Reporter in london today, more police on the streets. But defiance, too. Well, here at parliament in the last hour, britains prime minister, theresa may, says the attacker was british. Born. Years ago, he was investigated by the internal Security Service mi5, over what she called concerns about violent extremism. But she said he was a peripheral figure and he wasnt part of the current intelligence picture. She said he acted alone. But police are now questioning eight people about this brutal and deadly attack. Savannah . Bill neely, in london, thank you. In washington, the Republican Health care bill and President Trumps ability to close the deal are on the line. Hallie jackson is at the white house. Hallie, good morning. Reporter good morning to you. And right now, drama is building ahead of this critical vote on health care, with the president working the phones overnight to close this deal. Now, a possible breakthrough. With just hours left until the highstakes vote, one last highpressure pitch from President Trump, looking to convince conservatives a no vote today could cost the gop their shot to kill obamacare. The president and i came to an agreement in principle. Reporter mark meadows, the chairman of the House Freedom caucasus, one of the main holdouts, now hinting there may be light at the end of the tunnel. What were trying to do now is to make sure that our agreement is actually something that can be executed in a way that passes the senate. Reporter now, a possible breakthrough, with compromise maybe on changing Insurance Regulations for socalled essential health benefits. Cutting back on things like emergency room visits, Maternity Leave and Mental Health services. That modification may be enough to get the plan over the finish line in the house, where our nbc News Analysis shows six republicans would need to flip their positions or the Health Care Bill will flat line. The white house, confident. Theres plan a and plan a. Were going to get this done. What does it say to you if the president cant get this done this week . This is at the feet of paul ryan. And paul ryan will have to come to conservatives and ask what we want. Reporter the Health Care Battle comes after another bombshell as the republican head of the House Intelligence Committee says he sees reports showing intelligence scooped up intelligence from people involved in the trump transition. Something called incidental collection. What i have read bothers me. And i think it should bother the president himself and his team because i think some of it seems to be inappropriate. Reporter the president , feeling vindicated, he says. I must tell you, i somewhat do. I very much appreciated the fact they found what they found. Reporter but chairman devin nunes, who worked on the transition, briefed the president before telling members of his own committee. Im mystified by chairman nunes actions. This is not the way you operate an independent investigation. Reporter senator john mccain this morning ive been around this town long enough to know when theres something of this consequence and this enormity, theres always Additional Information that comes out before its concluded. Reporter now, another twist. Stronger accusations from the top democrat on the House Intelligence Committee that members of the president s campaign coordinated with russians to help him win. Something the white house has denied, repeatedly. Theres more than circumstantial evidence now. Again, i think you have seen direct evidence of collusion . I dont want to go into specifics. But i will say there is evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation. Reporter new this morning, in an interview, just out with time magazine, the president talked about his wire capping claims against president obama. Reiterating he meant more broadly surveillance. He didnt back away from another unproven claim that 3 Million People voted illegally. Something of which theres zero evidence. And in answer of questions of his credibility, he responded to the reporter, i guess i cant be doing so badly because im president and youre not. Matt . Savannah . Hallie jackson at the white house. Thank you. A suspect who is under arrest this morning in a story weve been following, last weeks kidnapping, of an alabama Nursing Student who made a dramatic escape from the trunk of a moving car.

Right place, right time. Hard work. Wall street journal has an idea. Make your beds. Thats what the head line says. If you want to be a millionaire make your bed. They talked to a sociologist who surveyed thousands and discovered certain traitz successful people share, for example, making your bed because it helps start a productive mindset. They wave to their neighbors, friendly people more successful, they connect to others, that leads to success. How about this, they dont yell at other drivers. Keeping the Emotional Intelligence in check is good. Finally, you will like this one, matt, they pick up trash and that helps to be successful because it shows that you dont think any job is beneath you. I got two of four. Which two did you have . I stopped making my bed, i was trying to figure out when i stopped making my bed, probably when i left my parents house, but i pick up trash. And wave to your neighbors. I wave to my neighbors. I cant make the bed, brian still in it. Would you make the bed if you could . No. I make it the second i get back home but i do not make it at 4 10 in the morning. Too early. The questions keep coming. When you go to a public restroom do you opt for one of those toilet seat protectors . No. I hover. This slice of heaven right here, a marvel of engineering with the hole right down the middle. When you flush the toilet it goes right down. Do they really work . I mean, its a barrier. Its a layer of protection. No. Public Health Experts tell usa today that those disposable paper covers do not stop germs. Bacteria, it means, can pass is but they do say youre also not likely to catch an infection from a toilet jen way, that was an excuse that a lot of people used to use in years gone by. If youre touching the toilet i can understand that. I dont really understand how you would catch something its your legs. From the toilet seat but like the handle. The rest of the bathroom is more guilty than the toilet itself. What i do and this is not good for wasting paper, i go into a stall i wrap my hand, i look like the mummy, i look like i have a cast of toilet paper and do the wipe of the seat. When do you do the radioactive suit . The blue light. Have you ever been in those ones where the toilet seat rotates and it has the plastic cover on it. I dont like that one, either. Its porous. Of course. Not viscous, porous. It was all eyes on the scoreboard at the miami open tennis match, not because of the score itself but because of this unexpected visitor who dropped by. Take a look. An seeing want in a, strolling on in, propped himself right up on the scoreboard, brought the game to a halt. Some brave people stepped in, they tried to catch him but he was not ready to leave. He ran on to the court. Look at him. Put music to that. Look at him. Do those bite . Can you grab it . I dont know. He is a big guy. The tennis player did not win the match but did get a really good selfie. There it is. Really for pop start . I am ready. We will begin with love actually there has been a lot of buzz around the charity reboot. We have our teasing trailer, yes, those famous cards are back. Have a look. Have a look. What do you think .

Dylan, thank you very much. More of our series, taking care of mom dad today. The caost of health care is twie as much after the age of 85, than before 85. Financial health can be every bit as important as physical health. Jean chatzky is here with strategies for affording your parents care. We talked about downsizing. Moving your parents into a different home. Today, we talk about a different thing. A reverse mortgage. I see tv commercials for this all the time. What is it . Who is it for . Its for people over age 62. Essentially, you are borrowing the equity back out of your home. All of the mortgage payments you made through the years, youre pulling that money back out. The loan comes due when the homeowner dies or moves out after a year. And the amount you can get in a reverse mortgage varies based on your age, the amount of equity that you have in your home and interest rates. Lets say i take one of these out. How do i get paid . Do i get paid over time . Do i get a lump sum . How does that work . You can take an annuity, a paycheck that comes to you every month. You can take it in a lump sum. Or you can take it as a line of credit. I like the last option because as your portfolio goes up and down with the market, this is a back pocket emergency cushion. What should people look out for . Continue to play the insurance and the taxes on the property. Take your spouse into consideration if theyre not on the reverse mortgage. And watch out for that lump sum, it can let you spend through the money too quickly. Lets say borrowing on your own home makes you queasy. You can get Financial Aid for care givers. You can get Financial Aid. Maybe you can look at the veterans administration. If youre a veteran thats done 90 days of active duty, one day in wartime, honorable discharge, youre eligible for two programs. One is called the aid and attendants benefit. This pays a care giver if youre not able to perform the functions of daily living, like getting dressed or feeting yourself. Its worth up to 25,000 a year if you have a dependent. And it comes into play if youre at home, in a nursing home or in an assisted living facility. The housebound benefit is worth 20,000 a year. Are spouses of the caregivers eligible for this, as well. Absolutely. Thats something to keep in mind. What do care givers, Adult Children need to know about medicaid . Medicaid may be able to pay you for caring for your parents. This is something called a cash and counseling program. Not every state has it. But if youre the one who is taking time off work to care for your parents, you may be able to get cash for that. Contact your state Medicaid Office to see if its available. And if your parents have purchased longterm Care Insurance, you may be eligible to be paid out of that policy, as well. Should Adult Children looking at the possibility of taking care of their parents in the future go ahead and buy that longterm Care Insurance . If theyre parents cant afford it and you can, absolutely. Its something to look into. It can put off a hassle and expense down the road that you may not be able to come up with the money for later. You may want to look at something called longevity insurance, which is a deferred annuity. It doesnt kick in until your parents are 85 years old. Buy them a benefit that will pay them essentially an income by the time they get very old. Good information, jean. Thank you. Thank you very much. Up next, going to switch subjects. Sweet treats, that are perfect for spring. You like raz burraspberries, yo going to love this segment. This portion of today food is created with our sponsor, citi. Citi is sponsoring with no kid hungry to end childhood hunger in america. Visit citiprivatepass. Com kids to learn more. This morning on today food we are celebrating the Spring Season with raspberry sweet treats. Joanne chang is coowner of flour bakery in boston. We have two here already to taste. Raspberries are in season. We have a couple of recipes here. Yes. Im here with the no kid hungry campaign. We do an event across the year, where we gather chefs together. And you get to eat great food and help raise funds for child hunger. One in five kids is food insecure, meaning they dont know where their next meal is coming from. These are sweets for a really good cause. Yes. I have two great recipes here. Starting with raspberry cheesecake. We have Graham Crackers and cream cheese. And raspberries and saour cream. How is everything . Really good. You we have melted butter and sugar into the food processor. And its super simple. Youve ground up your Graham Cracker crumbs. Okay. And give that a pulse. Uhhuh. And then, we take the Graham Cracker and pour it into here. You are using a smaller pan. We use a smaller pan to make a cute, little cheesecake. You press it in. Or use a bottom of a cup. And then, we have the filling. We have some sugar. And again, this recipe is so straightforward. Some egg. A little vanilla. Lemon juice. And what makes it really creamy is the sour cream. We use creme fresh, as well. Theres not sour cream in every cheesecake recipe. It makes it so light. We have fans over here. Were in a timeout. I know. Lets see. We make the filling. It will look like this. How do we incorporate the raspberries. Were going to put this into the baked crust. The crust bakes about 15 minutes at 350 degrees. And then, im going to have you help me make the swirl. You just squirt some of the raspberry coulis, and take a toothpick. Like that . Should i get it looking swirly, like mess it . Up . Beautiful. It bakes for a really long time. And in a low oven. You turn off the oven and let it sit in the oven and cool down. That keeps it from cracking. And you have a beautiful cheesecake. Carson cooks his in a water bath. What . I do . You read the book. You cook them in a water bath, it takes it really creamy. What does that mean . A water bath . From a water bath, if you take this and put it in a roasting pan and you put the whole thing in the oven. Matt is showing off. How low is the heat of the oven . 90 minutes for 350 degrees. Not super low. Like your recipe. Really good. Sawesome. That crust, wow. The next recipe is just Graham Crackers. Egg whites and sugar and raspberries. We beat the egg whites until they reach soft peak stage. It takes about two or three minutes. Okay. You see, its not very voluminous. But after two or three minutes, it looks like this. And we add the sugar. We add sugar in about three inscrii increme increments. And once its added, you get this. I wondered. I do occasionally bake. Excuse me. Your nose is growing. The looks im getting. I do. Sometimes i do. Easy bake oven thing. Pretty much. Why do you have to do it in installments like that . Why cant you just dump the whole thing in . You can dump it in. It makes the meringue not as soft. It allows the sugar to incorporate. Everything in baking is about being patient. Thats probably why im not good at it. Now, we take the meringue and we make these little clouds. This is the best part. Im going to make some divots. And you just pour some of the raspberry into the divots. Is this the same raspberry mixture we made over there . Yeah. Just raspberries and sugar. Do i want it to overflow . Just fill the little hole. Perfect. We figured out a trick to make chopsticks. While we have a few seconds left to show. Youre going to dip in and sweep out and go around until you get a swirl. Just like that. Looks like vale helped her out. Yours doesnt like great, either. Okay. And just let it cool . You bake them. . A low oven. Dont laugh. Its hard to do this. Its fun watching you cook. Watching you bake is on a whole other level. But she bakes a lot. Big baker. You can get these recipes at today. Com food. If you go to the today facebook page, you can watch her bake one more treat. Coming up next, another way to temp your sweet tooth. 100 years of girl scout coies. First okth vo what if this didnt have to happen . I didnt see it. vo what if we could go back . What if our car. Could stop itself . In iihs frontend crash prevention testing, nobody beats the subaru impreza. Not toyota. Not honda. Not ford. The allnew subaru impreza. More than a car, its a subaru. We are back at 8 47. Its one of our favorite times of the year, when the girl scout cookie orders start rolling in. This year, its extra special because the girl scouts are celebrating 100 years of selling these great treats. Heres stephanie rue. Reporter those iconic cookies. An american institution. Cookies.

Its been more than three decades since we first met Woody Harrelson as the sweet but clueless bartender on cheers. Since then, hes gotten lots of critical praise for his films. Now you see me zombieland and the hunger games. I got a chance to meet up with woody to talk about his project, wilson, where he plays a bachelor in search of happiness. How did we end up like this . Theres a lot of seats, you know, in this train. Reporter in his latest role, Woody Harrelson is wilson. Adore the character, even though hes neurotic . Brutally honest . I think brutallally honest i the truth. We have moments in life, where we get the thought bubbles. But we dont express whats in them. And thank god. We would be in deep you know. Reporter in wilson, harrelson stars alongside laura dern, who plays his estranged wife. She came in and made that part great. She makes pippy wonderful. Hey, claire. Jenny craig is over here. Reporter do you find yourself in the wilson character at all . Is theres a brutally honest aspect to you . I think i am like him. Im not that extreme. I do find myself saying things. Like, if only i can pull that back. If youre wondering about the lack of family resemblance, she used to be a real hippo. I got distracted from the comedy thing. Its nice to be back in. That feels like my roots. I think gary is playing with us. Like a rat with a mouse. Cat and mouse. Reporter it was his comedic role of woody boy, the young bartender on cheers that transformed harrelson into a bona fide star. His role earned him two emmy awards. Do you keep in touch with your castmates . I saw rhea last night. She came to the screening. That was awesome. I dream of having a reunion. Not a reunion where we do another show because i think, you know, that could turn out bad. Reporter a nice offcamera reunion would be nice. Since cheers, hes proven hes more than just the guy behind the bar. Im talking here. Reporter from a basketball hustler in white men cant jump. To an eccentric mentor in the hunger games series. Theres no role that woody cant c conquer. If you get the first time to direct, why make it so hard . Reporter one camera and one take. In his directorial debut, he broadcast his film, lost in london, live to cinema screens across america and the u. K. That idea has cost me endless amounts of stress and lack of sleep. I love how it turned out. 24 hours before, i was certain absolute disaster. Reporter how were you feeling . I was psyched. Isnt he awesome . Just want to listen to him talk.
