Hes known to people in this country around the world, i think you can say for good and bad reasons, once the highest paid actor on television and then equally famous for a public meltdown. Now its speculation about his health thats making news. This morning were going to let him address all the questions that are out there in his own words as he joins us live. We have a lot of news to get to this morning. Top story, once again trump, and well start with russia. Russian officials confirming overnight that it was in fact a bomb that downed a passenger plane over egypt last month. Nbcs tom costello has been on this investigation from day one. Tom, what can you tell us. Reporter hi, savannah, egyptian sources are now telling nbc news that two suspects are being held and questioned in connection with this investigation. These are people who had access to the airport and presumably the plane. Meanwhile, russian president Vladimir Putin is vowing to take revenge against isis. A little over two weeks since crashed in the desert in russia, russian investigators have determined a homemade bomb containing up to a kilogram of tnt brought down the plane killing all 224 people on board. Russian president Vladimir Putin this morning. Translator we wont wipe off tears over our hearts and souls. It will stay with us forever, but that will not prevent us from finding and punishing perpetrators. Reporter soon after the crash isis claimed it had brought down the plane. Within days the u. S. And British Government says their intelligence agencies had concluded it was likely a bomb, possibly an inside job. The attack coming just weeks after russia entered the war in syria. While moscow claims its attacking isis targets, western governments say the targets instead seem to be groups opposed to the syrian regime. Now with russia determining it was a bomb and isis likely planted it, Vladimir Putin is vowing revenge. Translator we should not apply any time limits. We should know them all by name. We will search for them everywhere, wherever they are hiding. We will find them in any spot on the planet and punish them. Reporter russia is offering 50 million for any information leading to the capture of those who carried out the attack. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin has told his generals he wants suggestions on how to retaliate and where against isis. Savannah . All right. Tom costello in washington, thanks. Shortly after labeling that plane crash a terrorist act russia launched new air strikes inside syria. France carried out more air strikes there as well overnight as we learn more about the terrorists behind the deadly attacks on paris. And with isis now vowing an attack on american soil, new security measures are being taken across the country. We have complete coverage, including lester holts interview with secretary of state john kerry, but lets start at the white house and nbc National Correspondent Peter Alexander. Peter, good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning. The paris attacks that french president hollande called an act of war president obama conceded were a terrible and sickening setback in the fight against isis, but the president s forcefully dismissing critics who are calling for the u. S. To change or expand its military campaign, insisting that sending in a large number of u. S. Ground troops would simply be a mistake. Arriving in the philippines overnight, president obamas facing a serious test, how to respond to isis. That new propaganda video from the worlds most brutal terror Group Warning the u. S. Is next. Like we hit france in paris this fighter says, we will strike america at its center in washington. The Nations Capital on high alert with members of Congress Told to remain vigilant. I dont want to make everybody nervous, but i feel the same way i felt before 9 11, that something very well could happen here. Reporter ramped up security in new york, police there for the first time, deploying a new counterterrorism unit. Some what have we have to be also constantly focused on is not only our significant areas such as times square or many of the tourist attractions, our stadiums, our major events but the soft targets. Reporter also deploying overseas this Carrier Group from norfolk en route to the mediterranean previously planned, but its focus now isis. U. S. Intelligence officials acknowledge last weeks vicious attacks demonstrate isis advanced capabilities and a battlefield thats expanded beyond its middle east borders. I would anticipate that this is not the only operation that isil has in the pipeline. Reporter counterterrorism officials tell nbc news that isis recently launched a 24hour help desk manned by a half dozen senior operatives, offering tech support to wouldbe terrorists on how to encrypt messages. Defying growing calls for more action in syria the president is vowing to stick with his strategy. And at times sounding defensive. Folks want to pop off and have opinions about what they specific plan. Reporter if parisians are rattled but resilient, Many Americans are anxious that the u. S. Remains an appealing target for terror. The scariest thing about stuff like this is what can you do to stop these guys . Reporter this military fight against isis has now expanded into a political fight over Syrian Refugees with at least 26 governors, almost all of them republican, vowing to block any Syrian Refugees from entering their states, and in some cases after a strict security review. Its not entirely clear if the states are even allowed to refuse refugees. President obama is standing by his plan to resettle 10,000 refugees in the u. S. Matt and savannah. Peter alexander at the white house, peter, thanks very much. Lets go to the piece of this in paris of the investigators on the trail of the terrorists behind of the attacks and following new clues. Lets go to nbcs chief global correspondent bill neely. Bill, good morning. What can you tell us . Reporter good morning, savannah. The very latest news is that police have found two hotel rooms outside paris that may have been used by the killers before the massacres. A suspected accomplice Salah Abdeslam who is still on the run. Its now believed police have finished searching the hotel rooms and amid all the drama its easy to forget about the victims, some of who we can see caught on camera just before this whole horror began. Poignant photographs taken minutes before the massacre, hundreds of jubilant fans waiting for the band, unaware that gunmen were coming to kill them. Gunmen who may have used this car found by police and now being examined. Its not exactly back to normal. How could it be . But they have reopened the roads here around the bataclan theatre where 89 people were murdered. Many of those who were inside last friday night are still in hospital in critical condition. This is the man france believes was behind the massacres. This isis propaganda video is said to show abdelhamid abaaoud, once jailed in belgium and now believed to be in syria. He was close to at least two of the attackers. French police carried out another 120 raids overnight on suspected isis supporters. French warplanes launched more attacks on isis positions in raqqah, syria. The french president vowing to destroy isis and ordering a french Aircraft Carrier closer to iraq and syria. Secretary of state john kerry meeting him today. Isis, their common target. They are feeling it today, felt it yesterday and felt it in the past weeks. Reporter Frances Muslim leaders condemn the killings. They honored the dead and sent a message to isis. Whatever you do, no matter how long it takes, we will beat you. Reporter this is a city of high emotion and many tears, still mourning the dead of 19 countries including the u. S. Most of them young and murdered in what france calls an act of war. Now, in that video of the search of the hotel room you may have noticed some syringes. It really isnt clear what they were used for, if indeed they were connected to the explosives. Sometimes liquids can be used as an accelerant. Police are still investigating the objects they found in that room, and they are still searching for that man, Police Across europe and intelligence agencies across the world, searching for the Wider Network behind this. Matt . A lot of work to be done. Bill, thank you very much. Then theres belgium. It remains a focal point of this investigation. The alleged mastermind of the attacks was born there, and one neighborhood could hold more keys to the investigation. Nbcs keir simmons is in brussels. Keir, good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning. Overnight the belgians have raised their threat level but there are multiplying questions for the authorities here. Belgian judiciary source tells nbc news that they now believe that the main suspect who is still on the loose was picked up in paris by people from here and driven back here the morning after the attacks. Belgium Police Commanders raid houses in a suburb of brussels. Elsewhere a suspect is led away. Yet perhaps the most wanted man in europe, Salah Abdeslam evaded police again. Police services thought yesterday that the person was in the building where they were looking for. Apparently it wasnt the case. Reporter salah fled the paris attacks, yet he and others suspected of the killings have been on the Belgian Security services radar. Guns and explosives used in januarys Charlie Hebdo magazine massacre were reportedly acquired in belgium. Later that month a tenman terror cell fought with belgian police. Automatic weapons and chemicals to make explosives were found. This group was about to commit terrorist attacks in belgium. Reporter and in an isis propaganda magazine in february the reported belgian linchpin behind the paris attacks bragged i was able to stay in the homeland, plan operations and leave safely. Overnight belgium raised its terrorism threat level, but the question this morning if more had been done earlier, could paris have been prevented . The world is asking did belgium let this happen . Belgium has taken the necessary measures and has raised the level, for example, after Charlie Hebdo. Reporter but as the days and hours go by, it looks increasingly like that main suspect salah may have escaped, and matt and savannah, get this. A police chief from here before the attacks said in an interview that here they rely on american intelligence to help them monitor Internet Communications and that they can only put a few suspects under surveillance at any one time. Keir simmons in brussels where so much of the attention is being focus. Keir, thank you very much. Secretary of state john kerry is now in paris. Hes meeting with the french president Francois Hollande this morning vowing to stand shoulder to shoulder with france. Secretary kerry also sat down with nbc nightly news anchor lester holt who joins us this morning. Lester, good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. Secretary kerry meeting with president hollande, came here to offer his condolences to france and also announcing that president obama will be meeting with president hollande to discuss further actions, further isis strategy, and the secretary and i talked about that strategy in the context of isis growing strength. Mr. Secretary, we learned from russia today that it was in fact a bomb that took down the metrojet over egypt a couple weeks ago. Isis claimed responsibility. Isis apparently behind the paris these are capabilities that no one apparently knew they had. How could the u. S. And the wests expectations of isis be so wrong . Well, i disagree that people didnt know they had this capacity. We certainly have known. That they could blow up a plane . Sure. They have gained great expertise over a period of time, and they have some people in isis who have been fighting in the Terror Network for a period of time, so they have access to c4 and explosives. Everybody knows that. They are making ieds every single day. You werent surprised by what happened in paris . I was shocked by it, not surprised. I find that we all know, because we are following the threat streams, that any individual who wants to strap a suicide vest around them can walk in to any public event and most places in the world and blow him or herself up and destroy people with them, so thats the nature of terror. Terrorists. They spread terror. They sow fear. They are capable of intimidating people and, yes, we have known this. Were on the lookout every single day for these plots, and weve intercepted one of them. We had a bomb that didnt go off in times square, if youll recall a couple years ago. This is within the total capacity and nobody should express shock that terrorists had the ability to kill people somewhere. Reporter secretary kerry also reacting to the propaganda video released by isis yesterday that threatened washington. Once again he said its not new. Weve heard these sorts of things before and did not have any extra concern based solely on that communication. We also talked about the number of governors in the United States who are refusing or say they will not accept Syrian Refugees. He says we certainly have the right to ask the questions about the vetting process, but he says as a country he believes we cant turn our back on those who are fleeing tyranny and terror in their homeland. Savannah, back to you. Lots to talk to secretary kerry about and i know youve got more of your interview tonight on nbc nightly news. Lets turn for more perspective with Michael Hayden, director of the cia under george w. Bush and now with the chertoff group, a Risk Management advisory group. Good to see you. Good morning, savannah. A lot of people are surprised by the french attacks with the level of coordination, so if i ty indication and planning and the fact that french intelligence apparently had no heads up, and a lot of people in this country are afraid, sir. Are we just as vulnerable . Are we not able to detect a plot like this . Were vulnerable but were not just as vulnerable. Weve got certainly advantages, geography for one. Were more distance. Demographics, our demographics are quite different and weve actually get a pretty good history of assimilation which the french and some of our other european allies do not have, but that said the risk here in the United States is not zero, and you can understand why american leaders, the attorney general, director brennan yesterday were quite forceful weve got to be at the top of our game going forward. Director brennan was pretty blunt saying because of intelligence disclosures, didnt name edward snowden, because disclosures like this and hand wringing on the legal and policy side of things rightly or wrongly has made it harder for intelligence officials to track alleged terrorists. Thats absolutely correct. Look, mr. Snowden has pushed out legitimate american secrets about how we collect legitimate foreign intelligence. Hes pushed that out into the Public Domain for the last two and a half years. Of course its had an impact on our ability to detect the kinds of things that happened in paris last week. General, what do you think about this move by a little more than half of the u. S. Governors to say we dont want Syrian Refugees in our states borders, setting aside whether or not they have the power to make that happen. Do you think thats the right call . No, i dont think its a right call. Its an understandable call, savannah, and in fact im hopeful that the governors are using that as a tool to put leverage on the federal government that they do this in a very, very careful way. Look, if youre asking me what i would recommend if i were still in government, i would say we need to do the correct thing in a humanitarian sense, and then our executives at the state or federal level need to poke their fingers into the chest of people like me in saying, now its your job to make sure nothing bad happens. I think thats the balance that we have to strike. Before i let you go, as you well know in, some circles there have been calls for an increased ground troop presence, much more massive scale than what we see right now in syria and iraq to battle isis. The president has said that he is not going to do that, and he says his own military advisers are against it. What say you . Savannah, the historical record is quite clear. His secretary of state, secretary of defense and cia director several years ago proposed a far more robust course of action in terms of arming the syrian opposition. What about right now . Right now, savannah, no one is calling for american maneuvers in the iraqi or syrian desert. What they are calling, i think our current effort is underresourced and overregulated, and so i think we could stand more resources there, not maneuverable brigades, more resources, and we need to take some of the limits off of the capacities we now have there. One example, savannah, very quickly. 36 hours ago we destroyed about 100 tanker trucks that the Islamic State was using to fuel their treasury. We could have struck those trucks on thursday. The fact that we struck them on sunday suggests the kinds of limits that our forces had been operating under. I expect those limits to be lifted. Just the beginning of a longer conversation for sure. General Michael Hayden, always good to get your perspective, appreciate it. Thanks, savannah. Lots of other news happening. Weather making news. At least 20, possibly up to 40, and we look for a repeat of that possibly again today, and weve got a blizzard going on right now in colorado. This is denvers international airport. Over 300 flights cancelled yesterday and more probably canceled today. Driving conditions dangerous at best. Hazardous at the least, and its going to continue again today into the afternoon. And weve also got tornadoes in kansas. You can take a look at the huge wedge tornado. In pompa, texas, the halliburton plant was destroyed, a big chemical leak going on. A lot going on.

Coming up in a couple of minutes an exclusive live interview with Charlie Sheen. No stranger to the spotlight. Hell address recent speculation about his health. Were going to start this half hour with a reunion coming out of a moment of heroism in the moment of the paris attacks. A lot of people have seen this video and remember this woman hanging from a window. Todays erica hill is in paris and has the rest of the story. Erica, good morning. Reporter yes, savannah. Nearly three minutes of video is heart wrenching and it shows the activity happening just outside the bataclan theatre over my shoulder in the side street there, but as you pointed out in that video is also a really poignant story of survival and ultimately rewarding. I do want to warn you, some of this video may be tough to watch. Chaos in the streets outside the bataclan theatre. People pouring from the side door of the concert hall desperate to get away from the horror. The sound of gunfire heard clearly. People seen dragging bodies. A man who appears to have been struck in the leg hobbling away from the scene, and hanging from a secondstory window a woman. Sir, sir, she says, im pregnant. As the woman dangles, slowly inches over to a man above her video pans to the scene below. Sounds of more gunshots. And as people rush from the scene, the sound of their footsteps echoing through the street. Again, the woman pleads for help. After nearly two minutes hands reach out to p pl her to safety. I held out my hand says 34yearold sebastian who shared his story with french radio. He said she was going to let go. One cant watch someone die before their very eyes there. Had already been too much of that. After saving her. The two were separated. Over the weekend this message began making the rounds on twitter. The sender asking for retweets to help the woman in the video find the man who saved her life just to say thank you. It didnt take long. A tweet confirming she had found rest of the story is theirs. Now both the woman and sebastian have asked for privacy. They are not doing any more interviews at this time. Sebastian did say in that interview he feels really lucky to be alive. We should tell you though many people rallying around it and a lot of people heard of the story and they were very emotional, guys and not ready to talk to us on camera about how they felt.

Charlie sheen is known to millions for his awardwinning body of work on television and in the movies, but this morning hes here to talk about something immensely personal and private. Charlie, good morning. Good to see you. Good to see you. How you been . Good, good, thank you so much. Its been my pleasure. Weve spoken a lot. Let me say first and foremost, your producing team have been awesome, yes. Thank you. As of you. Thank you. We have absolute compassion and its it just means the world, thank you. Thank you. You know there are a lot of rumors. Sure. Out there right now, and you would like to address them head on. I have to. So ill give it to you. I have to im here to admit that i am in fact hivpositive, and i i i have to put a stop to this this onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of subtruths and very harmful and material stories that are about the threatening the health of so many others which couldnt be farther from the truth. I want to talk about those in a second. How many people haha you told about this . Ive told enough that i trusted to be in the position in the situation that im in today. People you thought you could trust at the time . Absolutely, absolutely, yeah. How long have you known about this . Roughly four years ago, yeah. It it it started with what i thought based on this series of cluster headaches and insane migraines and sweating the bed completely drenched, two, three nights in a row, that i was emergency hospitalized. I thought i had a brain tumor. I thought it was over. After a battery of tests and spinal taps and all that crap they walked in the r rm and said, boom, heres whats going on. Its a hard three letters to absorb, you know. Its its a turning point in ones life. Four years you have been trying to keep this secret. Yeah. And you have id that you have been the victim of betrayal and extortion. You told me that a lot of people have actually demanded money to stay silent about this. That is true, yeah, yeah, and i have i have paid those people, not that many, but but enough to where it is depleted the future. How many people have you paid . Geez, i dont want to guess wrong, but but enough to bring it into the millions, and thats thats what people forget is thats money they are taking from my children, you know. They think its just me, but ive got five kids and a granddaughter, you know. You wrote this in a letter and shared it with me. In and arod this perplexing and difficult times i dazedly chose or hired the companionship of unsavory and insipid types, im imagining prostitutes. Regardless of their saltless reputations i led with condoms and honesty when it came to my condition and then sadly that became a deluge o o extortion and it took a center stage if this circus of deceit. Were these people that you had had sexual contact with and were claiming that you had transmitted the virus to them, or were these people who simply found out about your status and were threatening to tell the world . More of the latter. For some reason i i trusted them. They were they were deep in my inner circle and i thought that they could be helpful, and instead they as i wrote, my trust turned to their treason. Are we talking about lawsuits filed against you, charlie, or are we talking about shakedowns . Were talking about shakedowns, shakedowns, yeah. Is it true that on at least one occasion you had a prostitutu come over to your house who after a sexual encounter went into your bathroom and with a cell phone took an image of your antiretroviral medications. Thats correct, yes. And then threatened to sell that image to the tabloids. Yes. This is after after i had told her that thank you for your time. Were not going to see each other anymoror it was after she spent the day, you know, at a Health Foods Store buying me, you know, herbal medications, you know. Are yououtill taking to help me. Are you still paying some of these people . Not after today im not. So you think that by speaking this truth youll get out from under that. Thats thats my goal. Its thats not my only goal. Well talk more about that later, but, no, i i think i released myself from this prison today. And its interesting because these people kept coming over to your house. They kept gaining information that they then used in your words to extort you, and yet you continued the behavior. You kept bringing these unsavory types. Which is my part. Which is my part. To your house. Why would you make the same mistake over and over again . Because i was so depressed by the condition that i was in that i wasnt i was doing a lot of drugs and drinking way too much and i was making really bad decisions. That part i own, 100 . Have you knowingly or even perhaps unknowingly transmitted d the hiv virus to someone else since your diagnosis . Impossible, impossible. Were going to talk to your doctor with you in a second. I look forward to that. Have you had unprotected sex on any occasion since your diagnosis . Yes, but the two people that i did that wititwere under the care of my doctor and they were completely warned ahead of time. Have you since the time of your diagnosis told every one of your sexual partners before you had a sexual encounter that you were hivpositive . Yes, i have. No exception. No exceptions. Have you been involved if you look at the cdc website and ey talk about the trsmission of the of hiv, they talk about ririy behaviors. Would it be fair to say that you have been involved in all of those risky behaviors . Negative. Youre talking about needles and that wholeleess, no, definitely y not. Contracted the virus . Sitting here today, not entirely, no. No. I want to read you Something Else from the e tter you handed me. You said this is after the time of your diagnosis. The personal disbelief, karma, confusion shame and anger led to a temporary and yet abysmal descent into profound Substance Abuse and fathomless drinking. Was this that whole tiger blood winning period in your life . Was that a meltdown that we saw reaction to your diagnosis . I i wish i could blame it on that. That was more of a roid rage, but this was thisisas on on the heels of that, let me say, yes. And when you say shame in that, the stigma that is attached to in diagnosis is one of the worst parts about it. Pele dont take action. They dont get help because of that stigma. Sure. Do you still feel that stigma . Not anymore i dont, no. I dont, no. I i have a responsibility now to better myself and to help a lot of other people and hopefully with what were doing today, others may come forward and say thanks, charlie. Thanks for thanks for kicking the door open, you know. Youre going to stick around with us. Were going to sit down with your doctor who has been treating you over the last several years and well have much more of our conversation, charlie. Thank you. Look forward to it, thank you. But first these messages. Ut where their electricity comes from. They flip the switch and the light comes on. Its our job to make sure that it does. Using natural gas this power plant can produce enough energy for about 600,000 homes. Generating electricity thats cleaner and reliable, with fewer emissions this is more than just a town.

Its been an extraordinary morning, charlie s sen being so open and so transparent about whats been going on with him. My phone is on fire. Social media obviously, a lot of people reacting to this, and ill tell charlie this on air in a second but a lot of supportive tweets for him. Yes. This morning about, him coming forward and saying and there are others as well, as always is the case with social media. Talk more with charlie and his doctor coming up, but first there are a number of developments to get to this morning tied to the terror attacks on paris. The investigation moving forward as we get a reported look inside the hotel rooms booked by the alleged mastermind. Nbcs bill neely is in paris with the latest from there. Bill, good morning. Poli have found two hotel rooms outside paris thaha they believe may have been used by the killers justefore the massacres. They were booked in the name of the suspected complice, a man called Salah Abdeslam, and while searching the rooms police appear to have discovered syringes. Not quite clearhat they were used for. Those searches, we understand, have now finished, but of all this drama it is easy to forget about the victims, some of whom were caught on camera just before this whole horror began. Poignant photographs taken minutes before the massacre. Hundreds of jubilant fans waiting for the band, unaware that gunmanre coming to kill them, gunmen who may have used this car found by police and now being examined. This is the man france believes was behind the massacres. This isis propaganda video is said to show abdelhamid abaaoud, once jailed in belgium, now believed to be in syria. French police carried out other 120 raids overnight on suspected isis supporters. French warplanes launched more attacks on isis positions in raqqah, syria. The french president vowing to destroy isis and ordering a ench Aircraft Carrier closer to iraq and syria. Secretary of state john kerry meeting him today. Isis, their common target. They are feeling it today, feltltt yesterday andnd in the past weeks. Reporter this is a city of high emotion and many tears, still mourning the dead of 19 countries, including the u. S.

Good morningngo you. Reporter good morning. The french president called an act of war has sparked a lot of anxiety among a lot of americans. Isis propaganda video celebrates the paris attacks and warns that america is next. The Nations Capital now on high alert. For Dianne Feinstein telling nbc news she feels the same way now that she did before 9 11 with real fears another attack could happen herer and as military fight against isis is now sort of expanded to a political fight over what to do with Syrian Refugees. At least 26 governors, almost all of them republican, vowing to block any Syrian Refugees from entering their states. Former head of the nsa and cia Michael Hayden address that had this morning on today. No, i iont think its the right call. If youre asking me what i would recommend if i were still in government, i would say we need to do the correct thing in a humanitarian sense, and then our exexutives at the state or federal level need to poke their finger into the chest of people like me and saying now its your job to make sure nothing bad happens. Reporter president obama now traveling in the philippines is standing by his plan to resettle 10,000 refugees here in the u. S. Hes defying critics calls for stronger military force in syria, promising instead to intensify, his words, the strategy already in place. Savannah, matt . Big political and security issues, peter, thank you. Natalie is here with a check of the news, russia reacting to another recent terror attack. Thats right. Good morning, everyone.

Hes attending a trade summit with leaders of 20 other nations. In manila, protesters opposed to the new asiapacific trade deal clashed with riot police as they tried to march on the u. S. Embassy. In health newssnow, one of the largest coffee studies ever finds that drinknkg three to five cups a day can lower your risk of early death from causes that include diabetes, parkinsons, Heart Disease and even suicide, and the results held up for people who drink decaffeinated brew as well. The Harvard University study was based on 200,000 doctors and nurses. They provided regular updates on their own health and l lestyle habits for more than two decades. The researchers did sound two notes of caution. Coffee does not offset the effects of smoking and theh amount of sugar added to coffee can also become a problem. Also might want to hold off on the cream as well. I dont know about that, natalie. Drink up, more java for all. Nat, thank you. Mr. Roker. I stay off the stuff because id go boom. Lets show you what weve got. This radar is a perfect example of whats going on right now. You can see the big snow storm over colorado and then as we make our way to the east, you can see the heavier rain and thunderstorms. Weve got that activity going on right now through texas on into kansas city. So additional snowfall amounts. Were talking today, denver, colorado, blizzard warnings until 2 00 and snowfall rates of up to an inch per hour and upwards of 20 inches of snow before its all over, and then you movee into the central a a southern plains. 20 Million People at risk for flood watches, rainfall amounts, anywhere from 2 to 5 inches.

Southeast winds are 1020 mph, gusting to 30 and will stay strong today through tomorrow and even into thursday as this system thats your latest weather. Matt. Thank you very much. Now more of our exclusive conversation with Charlie Sheen. In our`last half hour he shared a very personal announcement, that he is hivpositive. He decided to speak outow in part because, he says, he didnt want to live in fear that someone else would divulge it. Charlie is back along with his personal if itition dr. Robert at ucla and well warm some of our conversation mayontain adult subject matter. Before i get to you, doctor. You made this announcement in the last half hour. Are you feeling relief . More than i thought possible. You feel good about it . Very much so. Ctor, how long have you been working with charlie in. Known charlie probably five, six years. This is an educational moment. We are in 2015 and while no one wants a diagnosis of being hivpositive, people live long, normal, Productive Lives while they carry the virus. What is his exact medical condition now, and the we should mention charlie has given you permission to talk about this. Charlie has contracted the hiv virus. He was immediately put on treatment, streng antiviral drugs, which had suppressed the viruru unfortunately, we dont have a cure yes. It suppressed the virus to the point that hes absolutely healthy from that vantage, and as a patient is substancebuse and depression from the disease more than what the hiv virus can do in terms of shortening his life because its not going to. Lets take those things one at a time. So youre saying to me at moment charlie has an undetectable level of the virus in his blood. Thats absolutely correct. Theres been some Media Outlets over the past couple of days thaha charlie h h aids. Charlie does not have aids. Aids is the condition when the hiv virus markedly suppresses the immune system and youre susceptible to rare difficult cancers and charlie hasone of those. He is healthy and does not have does mott have aids. Some very Important Information now. Charlie said in o last half hour that it is impossible for him to transmithis virus to someone else. I assume you meant through even unprotected sex . I meant through protected sex. Through protected sex. Is that accurate . Treated and have undetected viral loads and who responsibly use protection have an incredibly low, incredibly rare to transmit the virus. We cant say that thats zero but its a very, very low number. Because in checking with the cdc they say the virus can still hide in genital fluids and the level of virus c go up and down b bween testing. Is that fair to say . Thats fair to say. However, if someone is conscientious, and we have done repeated labs every several months over the last four years, the odds of variations in between drug tests and lab tests would have to also be expected to be very, very low. Charlie, are you taking the socalled triple cocktail . Is thatt what medication youre on . Everything. How many pills are you taking each day . Four. Are you worried you talked about his drug abuse and alcohol first of all, are you still doing drugs . No, im not. Are you still drinking . Still drink a little bit, yeah. Are you worried that an impaired state that charlie will simply lapse on taking his medication. It impairs your judgment. Can he bee trusted, and im talking with him right here, can he be trusted to continue to take that medicine on a regular basis if he continues to drink . Worried is the right wore. Were petrified about charlie and so, so anxious that if he was overly depressed, if he was abusing substance, he would forget these pills, and thats an incredible worry andnd magically somehow in the midst of incredible personal mayhem hes managed to continue to take these medications. Over the course of four years youve never missed taking your medications. I have not, no, never once. A lot of people willay you should stop drinking. You stotoed doing drugs. Perhaps freedom of today might lead to that as well. Doctor, i appreciate your information. Charlie, youre going to stick around. A little more of this right after ts break. Thank you, matt. Were back right after this my opioid pain m mication leaves me feeling locked up opioidinduced constipation, oic, caused by the opioids they use to manage chronic pain really . Yes. Oic is a different type of constipation. Opioids block pain signals, but they can also block activity in the bowel. Its been a real struggle to find relief. You ready to paint a different picture . Yeah talk to your doctor about oic and prescription treatment options. Im on it grandma is so happy to be here for your very first christmas. I hear youre q qte the expert at waking people up in the morning. Let me show you how grandma does it. Your daddy made this when he was a little boy.

Back now with more of our exclusive conversation with Charlie Sheen. Charmy, youve realed something deeply personal saying for the last four years youve known thatoure hivpositive. Are you expecting by talking about this to face a barrage of lawsuits because youve also been extremely sexually active in that period of time. Do you expect a lot of lawsuits to be leveled in your direction. I mean, i would be predicting theuture and presuming the worst. I can only imagine based on what ive already experienced, whats already come down the pike, an ive been forced to deal with. Im sure thats next, sure. What about criminal charges in 5 states if you are someone who is hivpositive and you have sex with someone else without divulging it. You c be charged with a crimi. This i completely understand and i completely respect that but having divulged it is the reason that im in the mess that im in with having all the all the shakedowns, you know. So so, mean, i again, i cant sit here and protect against all of that or completely worry about it. I can only sit here with you and tell my truth. You talk about all the shakedowns and youve told me its upwards of 10 million that you have paid out over the last several years. Whats your financial situation now. You were once the highest paid actor on television. Its not great. My finances are not great. It will be great again if m a survivor. I ive been up. Ive been done and ive been poor, unemployed. Its another chapter in my life its not real its not commerce driven. Its its socially driven. Youve got severalhildren young to, you know, young adults. Yes. Have you told them all. Not the very young ones, but have you told the ones who are old enough to understand it i told my oldest daughter cassandra the other night and i felt bad. It hit her hard, but shehe recovered, and shes tough like her dad and she said she said, wow, i said, sweetie, im im i said im sorry i didnt tell you sooner, but i it didnt seem like you could do anything for me and i didt want to burden you with all the stress, you know, but she was a rock star about itit there have beeee reports that your exwife Denise Richards knew about this for a while. Is that true . That is correct, yes. What about your other exwife, did she know about it . She has indeed. You talked to her about if. Yes. You were married to her until 2011. Correct. You told me youve known about this diagnosis for four years. Right. That takes us back to the same time period. Sure. When you got your diagnosis did you call her and immediately tell herhe should be checked. Absolutely, yeah. Absolutely. What do you think, charlie, the headlines will be afterer this interview . What do you expect them to be . I mean, you can never really predict how the media is going to roll on something. I would have hope or faith that it would be a lot more forgiving and a lot more supportive than than se of the garbage i was reading in the last couple of days. Frankly i dont think it can get any worse than that. What did you read in the last couple of days and ive read a lot of it in the tabloid media in particular. That stood out most to you and offended you the most. That i was intentionally i knew hi aids and i was intentionally spreading it, and i just thought, wow, thats thats damn, thatss far from the truth as anything could be. But is it fair to say that there are people out there who have claimed that. There have been people that you know persovally and intimately. Sure. Who have claimed that. They will have to reveal a whole lot of proof, you know, because its just not there. Doesnt exist. Over the course of the last four years, chchlie, anyone successfully sued you or settled a lawsuit against you related to this. Not for any contamination. Not for any transference, but just for threats of revealing my my condition. Let me read you some. Reaction that were now getting on social media. This is just a very quick snapshot. Laura tweets you have brought me to tears. Im profoundly touched by your honesty and that you took the high road against the losers. Debby tweets, charlie, f f the first time in a long time you can be proud of yourself. Wow. Now youre really winning. Use your celeb foror the greater good. Thats how you own your truth. Good on you. Charlie sheen respect. And jack tweets ive always liked chahaie sheen. Funny guy. Feel sorry for him, but his lifestyle kind of left him open for Something Like this. Thats not completely inane or a crazy statement. I have to look at both side, but im going to im going to ride this wave of of support and, you know, if there was one guy on this planet to contract this thats going to deliver a cure its me. Yeah, its me. I mean, seriously, seriously. You want to be that guy. You want to be a messenger. Are you going to now go out there and make this your cause . Is that your intention . Im not going to be the poster man for this. But i will not shun away from opportunities that that drive me to help others and and, you know, deliver a cure. Are you going to speak out often about this subject . I will yes, but i will i will pick my spots carefully and respectfully. Let me ask you aut working in your career. You had a show cancelled a couple years ago. You are imagine in need of working again and you mentioned to me your financial situation is not that great. How do you think thisevelation might impact your status or standing in hollywood . As we speak i have the chairman of sony excited about doing a show again. I have a couple of films lined up that i could, you know, put start dates on. Theres a lot of people and weve even told people that we can do this and before i go on privately, of course, and they said, well, of course. You know. And so its thus far theres been no no resistance. You said to me a second ago absent the hiv diagnosis that you went through that meltdown for other reasons. Sure. How far along are you in relieving yourself of thosese demons . I think very far down the road, yeah. Theres a lot about that that im not proud of. You know, you can only hear winning in the streets so many times. I pissed off a really good opportunities, but, no, im as i said, you know, im im approaching a time of more of a philanthropic approach in my life, you know. I mentioned you wrote a letter t tt you shared with me over the last day or so. Were going to take that letter, and the were going to put it up on our wednesday sglit that would be fabulous. Charlie, i really a areciate you sharing your story with us and wish you the very best. Thank you. Appreciate it. Its a pleasure. Thank you. Messages and your local news. I am totally blind.

Katie worked with the authors of the new cook book dinner solved. Katie, good morning. Good morning. Breads got to mean stuffing on thanksgiving and youve got a great recipes. Tell us about it. It does. Bread bread is plentiful around the thanksgiving holiday and when you make stuffing use a bread with a firm crumb, ciabatta, nice italian or sandwich bread and weve got a whole assortment here and were going to take that bread and make stuffing with really simple ingredients. Mushrooms, Turkey Sausage, herbs, carrots, celery, onion, garlic and if you want a vegetataan stuffing you canan leaveeut the Turkey Sausage and just double up on the mushrooms. Okay. If you wanted to use a different bread, could you do gluten free . You could. You know your bread best if youre glutenfree. We can mix and match the different breads for the stuffing and use whatever you have left over. Okay. All you do is start off by cuing the bread into nice oneinch cubes. Leave it overnight on a cutting board or baking sheet and threat dry out so it wont make the stuffing soggy. If you dont have time, put it on a baking sheet 325 for 20 minute and it will dry out. A little dry. Exactly, exactly. Over here in the pan weve got the butter melted and well add a a these great herbs and the seasonings, and were using rosemary and thyme but were using sage, you could use thyme, wregano, whatever you want. Got all this, carrots,s, celery, all diced. Exactly. Using Button Mushrooms which are wonderfullly mushrooms, hues shiitake or whatever your budget al luce. The peanut gallery is chomping away. So far so good. All dressing or stuffing fans. You saute these up. The mushrooms are going to release liquid and you want that to happen and want the liquid to evaporate and thats how youll get your vegetables nicely caramelized and then youllldd in your white wine. Any kind of white wine, dry white wine, its really just a background flavor and over here we have a pound of Turkey Sausage all sauteed up, use spicy, mild or use soy crumbles if thats the way your family rolls and well add this to the vegetables we have all sauteed up. I i could eat a bowl that have turkey, looks good and smells good. I could stop right here, quite frankly. Will you grab the bread cubes. I shall. Mixing this all together. The just dropping it in. Making a hot mess here. Oh, my god, im cooking, look at that the. Well add some fresh parsley to this and here we have a couple of cups of chicken broth so add about a cup right now and then youre going to stir it. You want it to be moist, not soggy. Gotcha. And if you have turkey drippings from roasting yoyo turkey, grere time to add it in. Stir it in until you get the consistency of moist, not soggy. Was that you, matt. Youre cooking in the same way tamron just skatatoarded. Way to go, shredder. Exactly. Its relative. Supervising, baby steps. Give me the last step. We would throw into the stuffing a this buttered pan and spray the tin foil with nonstick spray because thats how it wont stick to the stuffing. 20 minutes in the oven and uncover, 20 more minutes and here you go. Lks amazing. If you were more classy than i. I like the ramekins. Bring the stuffing. What do you have here . We have more bread so tear up this bread and make hopedade bread couples with italian seasoning and garlic powder.

Rain ees wednesday but temps will fall into the 40s for thursday with windy conditions expected. Could see rain and snow showers on friday with much cooler temps for the weekend. Well be back in 30 minutes, be sure to chchck kwwl dot com for the latest news youre watching k wwl, weve this morning on todays take charles soon makes a big announcement about his health in a revealing exclusive intervvew and then the ultimate deejay spinoff and well catch up with set rogen and Gordon Joseph levitt. All that and more coming up next announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on whats shaping up to be a chilly day here in new york city. Its tuesday, november 17th, 2015. Nice crowd outside on our plaza this morning. Inside im willie along with al, natalie and tamron. A lttle while ago Charlie Sheen was here sitting down with matt in an excluuiveinterview where he revealed he was hivpositive. To that in a bit, but first the late on the investigation into the terror attacks in paris. Nbcs bill neely is there for us. Bill, whats the latest . Reporter good morning, willie. A chilly morning here as well, and latest news is that one of paris most famous landmarks, the eiffel tower, has been closed here. It was only reopened yesterday. Authorities will say only that its closed because of the current situation. Also overnight anoter series of police raids. 106 homes raided. 16 arrests and six guns seized. Also today, two hotel rooms were searched by police. Its believed they were rooms used by the killers ust before the massacre. They were rented in the name of one of the suspected accomplices Salah Abdeslam. He still on the run, and as you can see among the things in that room were syringes. Not yet clear what they were used for. Also still free is the suspected ring leader of this gang, abdelhamid abaaoud. He was filmed in an isis propaganda video. Hes belgian, and it is believed hes still in syria. In another video, isis has threatened to widen itsts attacks and attack america, in particular. Its threatening to attack washington, d. C. Now, u. S. Authorities are taking that threat seriously because isis has shown an ability to strike way beyond iraq and syria, and russia is now accepting that the russian plane brought down over egypt was, in fact, boboed by isis. They say homemade explosives were used to bring down that plane. Russia now and egypt taking that very seriously, and overnight russia joined french in a new series of heavy air strikes on the isis capital of raqqah in syria. Isis is clearly now a globaa reat. You are seeing a global response. More air strikes on isis from russia, from the u. S. And from france. Back to you, willie. Bill neely in paris, bill thaha you so much. Back here at home in the u. S. , at least 26 governors now have said they will not admit any more Syrian Refugees for the time being. Its not clear that states are even allowed to refusee refugees. The state department has lawyers looking into it. Most experts say its a federal matter. All refugees do go through a vetting process screened by multiple agencies. 2,000 have come from syria since the war began at end of 2011. The Obama Administration says it wants to allow up to 10,000 into the United States next year. This all matters because one of the terrorists was food with a syrian passport. They believe he passed through greece and may have been part of that wave of refugees. All right. Meanwhile, i think its one of the pictures thats emerging in all this thats really caught everybodys eyes and hears this morning. Youre seeing the photos of some of the photos in the bataclan theater just moments before that massacre, and you see sadly the joy in their faces in those moments that they were enjoying what they thought was going to be a night out at a great concert, and sadly the horror that unfolded there, and as we see the pictures were learning more details about one of the incredible survival stories that emerged. I think we were all captivated byhat cell phone srivideo that we saw on saturday when we first saw the video of a woman hanging from that window trying to get to safety callininout to the and saying sir, sir, im pregnant in french. She was hanging there for about two minutes and finally you see hands reaching out and pulling her into safety. That man, as erica hill reported earlier this morning here on today, has been identified as sebastian, and he told a frenn newspaper andnd Radio Station as well that he had lost track of the woman after they got back over certainly media over the weekend there was a social campaign to try to help the woman find her mystery survivor savior, and a message then began making rounds on twitter requesting retweets. Eventutuly social media brought them back together which is the great thing you always hear about these stories. They have reportedly talked to each other. They are asking though for privacy right now, understandably sttll very emotional given all that they have been through over the last incredible story and just good to have one story of survival and hope amidst such terrible tragedy. To me thats one of the enduring images of this horror, pregnant woman being forced to hang from a window f f her own survival. Thats an eternity. Gives you goose bumps. There was a hand. The other big story, we watched it all play out live right here on the today show. Hollywood star charlie heen revealed that he is hivpositive. He talked for the first time publicly about his health to our own matt lauer earlier. Heres a bit of what ppened. Im here to admit that i am in fact hivpositive. And i i i have to put a stop to this this onssught, this barrage of attacks and of subtruths and very very harmful and material stories that that are about the threatening the health of so many others which is which couldnt be farther from the truth. And this is so interesting because the last coupup of weeks, tabloids have been alluding that there was an alist Hollywood Star who was hivpositive and that there were people threatening to file a lawsuit saying that he had exposed them to the virus. Charlie sheen now revealing that he is the behind these headlines. He says that hes been extorted some 10 million over the past four years from people that he told, he says, that he was hivpositive and they used that information against him to get him to pay out. Matt also asked charlie about peoplelewho had threatened to reveal his condition. Heres more of what he said. Four years you have been trying to keep this secret. Yeah. And you have said that you have been theictim of betrayal and extortion. You told me that a lot of people have actually demanded money to stay silent about this. Were i have paid those people, not that many, but enough to where it has depleted the future how many people have you paid . Geez, i dont want to guess wrong but enough to bring it into the millions, and thats thats what people forget is at thats money they are taking from my children, you know. They think its just me. But ive got five kids and a granddaughter, you know. Was this that whole tiger blood winning period in your life . Was that a result that meltdown we saw a reaccion to your diagnosis . I i wish i could blame it on that. That was more of a roid rage, but this was this was on on the heels of that, let me say, yeah. So since his diagnosis Charlie Sheen told matt hes had sex with two peele ununrotected sex withthwo people and that both of those people were under the care of his doctor. His doctor was here with him indicating that hes still dealing with Substance Abuse issues, of drinking at this point. He says that he takes four pills i believe a day, that its the level of the virus undetectable. He used a very strong word that people responded to saying it would be impossible for him to pass along the virus to someone else. His doctor put it the in more scientific terms and explained the risk that others i guess who would come in contact with him. Nevertheless, this story, as you can imagine, we always point to social media, but ive been perusing over in the original room, and at least that first glimpse, the reaction has been of great support for Charlie Sheen saying words like that hes brave and, again, thats a flashpoint reaction from social media. So for him to finally be able tt just tell his story and to be able to own it. Sounds like he was forced into it with all of the money. Yeah. Yes, he came forward, but it was after all of these leaks and what he says were extortion tactics by people, and hes run out of money. Matt asked one of the questions i had if you knowingly have sex with someone without teeing them you have hiv thats a criminal offense so that could come into play. Its a lot more including potential lawsuits. Down the road. Yeah. Somebody else who generates a lot social meea, Justin Bieber, a new album coming out purpose and you got to hang out with him. Justin is in new york. Hes going to take over the today show tomorrow. Some happiness there, and hes in the news for ny reasass, but you guys know, ive hung out with him a little bit. He is a sweetheart when it comes to his fans, and he loves his fans, and let me tell you i felt like i had walked into somethii with how do i explain it. Here we go. I walk up, they are like youre going to hang with Justin Bieber at the skateboard park. We pull up and theres like 50,000 people and the biggest body guards ive ever seen in my life. Theres justin spending oneonone time with the skateboarders and i thought about your sons, okay. They would have a blast at this indoor skate park. Justin has been s sating for four years, his passion and number one passion is performing and hell be doing that tomorrow. Huge concert. We didnt show you on the board right there. I think we did. It was im impressed with your leathehe jacket, can i just point out. My jacket, justin actually said i love that jacket, can i have it. I gave my jacket to Justin Bieber and he saidid im too big for that, too tight on me. All right, justin. Celebrating his music and really trying to stay focused, his purpose. And hell be here tomorrow. Hopefully hell play with us. With all the 50,000 peoplele you saw. It was incredible. All right, al. How about a look at weather. Lets show you whats going on, and there is a lot in fact going on. Well start in the west coast, pacific northwest. A lot of moistuu coming in, and so were going to be look at a lot of heavy rain for that area, and in fact that rainfall will really amount to the danger of landslides. Were talking some areas picking up to eightnches of rain in thth race kads. Were going to be watching that as well. Then you can see weve got this big storm system. Snow on the left side of it and rain and thunderstorms ahead of it. Look at this. Castle rock, colorado. The snn still coming down. Could be an inch per hour. Denver, colorado under blizzard warnings until this afternoon. 16 to 20 inches of snow eastern colorado into southwestern nebraska. Wevevegot tornado watches in effect for eastern texas today. Also severe thunderstorm watches as well. As we get into arkansas, heavy rain today and louisiana to missouri. Up to 7 inches of rain, and the central appalachians could pick up to 5 inches of rain as well. So a lot going on today. Thats whats going on around the country. And drizzle tomorrow. It will also be breezy, although the strongest winds will track through on thursday as we get in between systems. We only had a little rain yeseserday with most of only getting a quarter inch or so, but we have a lot more rain heading our way for today and tonight. Stormtrack7 Live Weather Network cameras will show mainly gloomy, wet conditions today. And probably some fog off and on. It is warm this morning with tempss to low 60s in southwest iowa. Southeast winds are 1020 mph, gusting to 30 and will stay strong today through tomorrow and even into thursday as this system will slowly track through the thats your latest weather.

I was blown away by some of the spices and what you can do so ill let you launch in. Cold brew coffee. This is tumeric which is an antiinflammatory so it can really hit fight inflammation in the body. Okay. And usually youll find it in kurries and savory dishes. Al, natalie, do you cook with tumeric . I add it had to a lot things because the antiinflammatory properties. Youre saying add it to our your cold brew coffee. Cantaste it that uch. Want to try it. Willie is standing over here as well. Thank you. It up in a smoothy. You have some in there. Yeah. But this is kind of the basic way to do it. And what i love, you know, cooking with spices can be intimidating. Not all of us cook every day, but you can actually use spices in these sort of daily ways. Thats different. And what does it do for us . Helps to fight inflammation. We all love avocado toast around here. One of our favorite snacks. Thjs is sumac and a lot of people dont know what it is. Its a middle eastern spice and used in that spice mix and use it. It has lemony flavv. Is it easy to find . Easy to find now. Again, what potentially are the health upsides to this . It can help to lower blood glucose as well as lower bad cholesterol. Thats a hard toast. Maybe it was toasted a few hours ago. Thats like a brick. A little bit of lemony and also great on hummus and adds a lot of color. Health benefits and we lose our teeth. Dont lose our teeth. Chili. Cinnamon used more in desserts and baked goods but use it in savory dishes like chili. Cook it in or add it in on top. And cinnamon helps lower blood sugar. Yes. According to some research. Yes, yes. And there is a lot of Research Behind this one but you need half a tea soon a day at least o get the benefit. Really . Your spices in small amounts. Otherwise they dry out. They god bad. Put the date that you bought it and then you know to toss it after the six months. I like that. Really good. Thats really good. Thats my favorite. Last but not least, this time of the year, something i love. Apple cider and how do we kick up the health benefits. Cayenne pepper this. Can help to aid digestion in people who dont, have you know, a bad reaction to spicy pepper, but, you know, again, this is something thats usually us in savory shes, and to get your cayenne benefit stir it into something that youll be drinking all the time at this time of the year. Thats so good. Thats so good. Apple cider. Obviously you want to always consult with your doctor. Absolutely. Some research out there that indicates this could be beneficial to your health. Yeah. Not a cureall but its beneficial. Every little bit helps. My favorite spice right now, smoked paprika. I love it. On fish. Smoked paprika on whole fish is phenomenal. Potatoes. Even on toast.
