And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a friday morning. We appreciate you joining us. We want to get right to the breaking news in spain. Major developments overnight to tell you about, including a new attack, in the seaside resort town. Five men hit pedestrians with a car before they themselves were fatally shot by police. Investigators believe those suspects are somehow linked to the horror on the streets in barcelona, just hours earlier. In that attack, a van mowed down people. Its just been reopened this morning the its under heavy security. Another incident on wednesday, that is now being linked to all of this. It was an explosion that leveled a home south of barcelona. As you can tell, theres a lot to cover. Lets begin with nbcs keir simmons and the latest on the new attack overnight. Keir, over to you. Reporter good morning. Ive been speaking to a witness who saw exactly what happened right here. He says that a vehicle sped up, directly targeting a police car that was here. It hit the car. It turned over. The occupants got out. And immediately, the police opened fire. This morning, were just hearing that a woman has died after what happened here and what appears to be the latest terror attack. Bodies strewn around. In video captured on a cell phone, appearing to show the scene of a shootout with suspected terrorists overnight. The videotape, not independently verified by nbc news. The shots heard streets away, as officers opened fire, killing the suspects. Marco heard the gun fight. As he fled, three people were shot, one in the head. They were wearing suicide belts, he said. Police say the explosives on the belts were fake. Police say it began when a vehicle drove into the crowd. A car could be seen overturned, its windows smashed. Six people and a Police Officer were injured. This morning, news that one of those, a woman, has died. It happened just hours after a van mowed down tourists in central barcelona, killing 13. The police saying this morning the second vehicle attack took place in the seaside down of cambrils, 70 miles to the south of barcelona. They fatally shot four people. A fifth died later. The area cordoned off. A bomb Disposal Team deployed. Spanish police, now increasingly what looks like a terror network, whose intent was attack, or attacks, perhaps worse than the bloodshed of the past 24 hours. And you can see behind me, there are heavily armed police in this Tourist Destination here in spain. A witness describing 60 or 70 locals and tourists, fleeing for their lives into a local restaurant. Some climbing through restaurants. Horrifying, matt and savannah. A moment of silence was held in barcelona this morning for the victims of the attack there, while police try to piece all of this together. Richard engel has the latest on wheth where this investigate is going. Reporter im along an iconic street. The scene of a terrorist attack, the van that caused so many dead and injured, came streaming down this street, mowing people over, sending others scattering. But the people came out today by the thousands with one message. To say they will not be afraid. A manhunt is under way for the driver responsible for mowing down people on barcelonas main pedestrian street. A terrorist driving this white van turned this normal vibrant area into a kill zone. American jack davies filmed as she ran for her life. American tourists heidi nunez and her husband, jared tucker, were there, too. They had just separated when he went looking for a bathroom. Now, hes missing. The cops kept pushing us away. I ended up further and further away, without my husband. And i havent seen him or heard from him since. Reporter the van came speeding down this street, and it was completely packed. The van traveled for about 60 yards. And not just traveling, but zigzagging back and forth. But people came back today to show they wont be terrorized. I ran into the bakery, where they let me in. And there were a couple of us, about 20 in that bakery, hiding. Reporter the attack, is just the latest case of terrorists turning ordinary vehicles into deadly weapons. Hundreds killed in the last two years alone, in beloved cities all over europe, including berl berlin, london and paris. Spanish dignitaries leading a moment of silence in the heart of barcelona. The mood, now, a mix of shock, sadness and anger on this day of mourning. Overnight, paris and new york, cities alltoo familiar with terror, showing their solidarity. Isis claimed responsibility for this attack but saying one of its soldiers was responsible for driving this van down the street killing so many people. A manhunt is under way looking for that driver. He is believed to have fled on foot. Tlis are looking for other superintende suspects and other attackers, in that terrorist cell. Richard ng aengel, thank you. We want to bring in michael leiter. We are used to seeing the lone wolf attacks. This seems to be the thing we all fear, a larger terrorist cell. I think thats right, savannah. This is not one guy grabbing a van. This is six to ten people who planned this attack. And maybe thought out things that would delay first responders, like fake suicide vests. What we see is a Group Planning and probably simultaneously attacks planned. The New York Times reported there were three vehicles rented under the same name. One of those vehicles was used in barcelona. Perhaps the second vehicle was down in camblis. We dont know where a third van is. How frantic is the search for that vehicle and other operatives at this moment . This is more dynamic we normally see 12 hours an attack. You certainly have one attacker on the loose still. You probably have a vehicle out there. Theres still an active threat. This is not just forensics. This is prepare for another attack because it could be out there. Absolutely. The driver appears to have gotten away. We dont know if he or she could have been incambrils later. Im surprised. There is enormous amount of mayhem at the first van attack. But the lack of apparent security that he was able to get away, they dont have it all nailed down. This is a popular tourist area. Suggest suggests a little more confusion. I respect the spanish authorities. They had experience in 2004, with the bombings in madrid. They arrested suspects this spring they think were connected to the brussels attacks about 18 months ago. You worked with the officials during the obama administration. Whats their level of sophistication in terms of counterterrorism and intelligence . They are very, very good. They have dealt with terrorism domestically, the bath separatists for decades. They have been aggressive. They have lots of northern moroccans and africans who have had radicalization. But they had less radicalization than weve seen in france and germany. This is an Effective Security service. Its just speculation at this point. But we know according to the spanish politician, the wednesday night explosion at a house is connected. Put on your analyst hat. What might the connection be . My first take is, theyre building bombs. Nose are going in the cars. Thats disrupted, quickly get out. Force the attack. Michael leiter, thank you. President trump was quick to the respond to the attack in barcelona, offering the u. S. s support. But hes coming under fire for a controversial followup tweet and for his ongoing reaction to the violent clashes in virginia. Nbc White House Correspondent Kristen Welker has more on that side of things. Kristen, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Its not unusual for President Trump to talk tough about terrorists. But after the barcelona attack, mr. Trump revived a debunked myth about a general committing war crimes. And its sparking a new round of fire for an already embattled president. This morning, the president turning his attention to Foreign Policy, while monitoring the investigation in barcelona. Firing off a stern tweet in the aftermath of the attack. The United States condemns the terror attack in barcelona, spain, and will do whatever is necessary to help. Be tough and strong. We love you. But the president may have quickly muddled his own message. Resurrecting a widelydebunked story about an American General who fought in the philippines did. There was no more radical islamic terror for 35 years. During the campaign, candidate trump was criticized by historians who called the story a tall tale. He caught 50 terrorists who did tremendous damage and killed many people. And he took the 50 terrorists and he took 50 men and dipped bullets in pigs blood. Reporter backlash from republicans after his response to the clashes in charlottesville, where he was criticized for equating terrorists to protesters. Theres no doubt about it. Reporter bob corker, a longtime trump supporter, calling into question mr. Trumps ability to lead. The president has not yet has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability, nor some of the competence, that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful. And we need for him to be successful. Reporter scathing words, as well, from the only africanamerican senator, tim scott. What we need to see from our president is clarity and moral authority. That moral authority is compromised when tuesday happens. Reporter this morning, yet another ceo turning his back on President Trump. The New York Times reporting Rupert Murdochs son, james, the ceo of 21st century fox, which owns fox news, excoriating the president. And donating 1 million to the antidefamation league. Murdoch writing, standing up to nazis is essential. Theres no good nazis. Adding to the president s not mentioning him by name. Mike pence, staunchly defending his boss. I think the United States has a president whose vision, energy and cando spirit is reminiscent of president teddy roosevelt. Reporter Vice President pence cut his trip to south america short. He will join President Trump at camp david today, along with members of the National Security team. The key focus will be the strategy in afghanistan, with the president expected to weigh a series of options. Everything from withdrawing all of the troops to adding close to 4,000 more. Matt . Savannah . Kristen, thanks so much. In the wake of the charlottesville attack, a movement is gaining momentum in cities across the country to take down confederate statues.

In tampa, the lightning, rays and buccaneers are dedicating funds to move a monument from in front of the citys courthouse. The movement faces major opposition. And both sides are digging in. Mr. Mayor, the governor has not publicly supported your efforts. The president of the United States has spoken out against your efforts. Is this a kind of david and goliath moment for you . I operate encore values. Theres fundamental values here at stake, freedom and justice and liberty and telling the real story. Reporter its a story that some see differently. We dont want to tear monuments down. Its good enough for their parents, good enough for us. Reporter the statues wont be removed and relocated right away.

This, when it first happened two days ago, it didnt get a lot of attention. A house outside of barcelona blew up. And investigators are looking at this incident as the key to all of it. When that house blew up two days ago, that may have been a bombmaking factory. Thats what investigators believe. Once that factory blew up, the attackers, that were part of a cell, that this is all some sort of cell, after that bomb factory blew up, they had to mobilize. They mobilized here on las ramblas.

Even in a state where everything is bigger, the cost of this new High School Football stadium is making headlines. The price tag, a staggering 72 million. The most expensive High School Stadium in the country, costing more than many College Stadiums. Theres also an ill velevator. This is legacy stadium in katy, texas. We offer fine arts groups and activities, as well as state championship teams. Reporter it includes seating for 20,000. A large event space overlooking the pristine field and luxury boxes for corporate sponsors. Quite a view from up here. Great view. Reporter the 72 million was mostly paid for by katy taxpayers, minus a few million that was made by selling the naming rights. Katy may be the most expensive. But its hardly the only stadium in texas with an eyepopping price tag. Crossstate rivals in allen, texas, have a 60 million stadium.

How do you think about that . People wanted it. We dont think we needed it that expensive. Reporter any skepticism about cost was put aside for a dedication ceremony thursday night. If texas is a state of mind, here, football is a way of life. Believe it or not, this is a scaleddown version of what they wanted to build. Taxpayers voted down the original plan.

We have a very busy morning. Lets start with your news at 8 00. The death toll from dual terror attacks in spain, as police intensified their hunt for key suspects. Richard engel is in barcelona, where the deadliest attack took place. Richard, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, matt. Were talking about two separate terrorist attacks in two different locations. The worst, the deadliest incident took place, along las ramblas, the street where i am right now. Because theres multiple attacks in multiple locations, Police Believe this is the work of a terrorist cell. And police announced a short while ago, that at least four suspects are now in custody. The second attacks south of barcelona could have been far worse. At least five militants in a vehicle, drove into police and crowds. But they didnt get far. All five attackers were quickly shot by police. Four tie died on the scene. The other, later. The attackers were wearing simulated suicide vests. The mostly thwarted attack, came as a manhunt is under way this morning for the driver responsible, for mowing down people on barcelonas main pedestrian street. The terrorists driving a rented white van. Turning this normally vibrant area into a kill zone. Theyre shooting. Theyre shooting at me. Reporter american jac davies, filmed as she ran for her life. American tourists, heidi nunez and jared tucker, were there, too. They were separated when he went looking for a bathroom. Now, hes missing. The cops kept pushing us away. I ended up further and further away, without my husband. And i havent seen him or heard from him since. Reporter the van came speeding down this street. It was about as crowded as it is right now. Completely packed. The van traveled about 600 yards. It wasnt just driving, but zigzagging back and forth, chasing down victims. But people still came back today to show they wont be terrorized. I ran into that bakery, where they let me in. And there were a couple of us, about 20, in that bakery, hiding. Reporter the attack is just the latest case of terrorists turning ordinary vehicles into deadly weapons. Hundreds killed in the last two years alone, in beloved cities all over europe, including berlin, london and paris. Spanish dignitaries this morning, leading a moment of silence in the heart of barcelona, the center of the citys famed street life. The mood now, a mix of shock, sadness and anger on this day of mourning. Overnight, paris and new york, cities alltoo familiar with terror, showing their solidarity. Isis claimed responsibility for this attack, saying one of its, quote, soldiers drove that white rental van down this street, killing and injuring so many people. But it offered no evidence that it had any advanced n ed knowlef the attack. There was one incident that didnt get much attention at the time. It happened on wednesday. And it could be the key to understanding all of this. On wednesday, south of barcelona, a house exploded, killing one people. And investigators think that may have been a bombmaking factory. And after that house exploded, the terrorists in this cell didnt have the explosives and went on the rampage, using a van here. And then, using that other vehicle south of barcelona with those simulated devices. Maybe once their bomb factory blew up, they had to attack. And they used what they could find.

But theres an ellipse coming on monday. The big event has brought a debate. Here is the question. Should schools close for the eclipse . Close . Close on that day. Some schools in that path have announced they are closing. And the reason is, they worry about the children. You take kids outside, even if you give them the glasses and you say, dont look directly at it. And a kid does it. So, they could be on the hook. They could be liable. So, some schools are opting to close. Others are saying, its a teachable moment. Theres some classrooms saying, well all come inside. Well close the shades and well talk about whats going on outside. What do you think . I dont think you should close. I think you should go outside and make sure you have the shades. Sometimes, you have 1 teacher with 30 kids. And you have to make sure and you tell a kid not to do something, not dont smile. Understand the liability. Are they going to do the same thing at home . But i think the schools can use it. This is a great lesson. I think its a memory theyll have for the rest of their lives. Geography lesson. Science lesson. And some of the parents work. We did ask our viewers to chime in. They agree with you. 63 say the schools should is not close. 37 say they should cancel class. What are you going to do . Were going to a party. In a basement xhshgs , i dont planning there.

This years average graduate, up with 36 . And 11 of all Student Loans are currently in default. Jean chatzky is back with some tips to help your family. Good morning. You said you had the college talk early. Even in high school, to gear up for this. Yeah. Absolutely. You want to Start Talking about what college is going to cost. What you, as a family, will be able to contribute. And get your kids into the mindset, where theyre thinking about value. Public versus private. Schools that really want you and will give you money to attend because the most important thing we can learn today, is you got to keep the borrowing within limits so those defaults dont happen to you. You want to keep it to about what you think youre going to earn your first year out of school. If youre going to be a lawyer, is very different than if youre going to be a journalist. And theres a lot of Free College Programs emerging. We saw rhode island come out last week or the week before, talking about Free Community college. They join new york and a couple of other states. Gaeorgia has the hope scholarship. They can provide you with a lot of munoney. You want to build a budget. How do you do that . In addition to room and board and tuition, it casts about 4,200 to pay for expenses. This is after room and board and tuition. This is books, transportation, pizza and beer, right . This is what were talking about here. You have to break it up for your kids. They conditionant handle that l at once. Give them enough for books. Thats about 1,200 on average. Split it into two chunks so they can pay for it. And take that money and divide it into weekly sums. Deposit it electronically. They will blow it in the first week or two. And they get used to the fact they have no money by friday. They get used to it. And food for all parents, this is where everything goes wrong. Talk about how much it costs to go to chipotle and Everything Else and how many times a week you can do that. I can remember college, a thousand years ago. There were credit card offers everywhere. Should you or should you not sign up for a credit card if youre a college . Its a mixed bag. I think college is an important time to build credit because when you come out of school, you want to get an apartment. You want to buy a car. You need credit in order to do those things. A couple of ways to do it safely. If your child has a job and can prove income, they can apply for a card on their own. They may be able to get one. You want to keep the credit on that card the limit artificially low. 500 at most. They dont have a job. You can add one to one of your cards as an authorized user. Make sure theres a low limit. That sounds dangerous. You can make sure theres a limit just for them. You set that at 500. Make sure the credit card reports to the Credit Bureaus on behalf of your child. Secure credit cards where you deposit money into the bank is a possibility. Youre a big one into saving. And people feel like, i dont have money to save. Im barely getting by. Right. This is when you graduate. These are the things to talk to your kid about. Save regularly. Keep a lid on that credit card behavior. And understand, they have to live on the net, not the gross. They may be making 40,000 a year after taxes, thats a big shock because its so much less. And get into that 401 k . Jean, thank you so much. And by the way, shes going to be online later this morning. She will answer any and all questions you have about kids and money. You can join that conversation about facebook. Com todayparents.

You have to travel 500 meters and send back video and pictures. So, the strategy with moon express here out of cape covera canaveral, florida, is to land on the moon. The way theyre going to accomplish the requirements, theyre going to try to hop. Thats why their structure is conducive to that. This one is going to go up on a rocket and move through the wheels. Out of japan. Team hikudo. The this is the miniaturization of technology to produce this technology that can get and land on the moon. How are they powered . Solar powered and other forms of energy. Walk over there. Sure. The thing thats interesting about the competition this, is team indis out of india. And japan is hitching a ride on the space rocket thats going to launch. Theyre going to share that. And theyre going to share the spacecraft thats going to land on the moon. Theyre not going to go at it, are they . Seems like the Television Show ive seen.

You can learn more about the projects in the new space issue of national geographic. Up next, backtoschool breakfast and lunch ideas. Your kids are going to love these. First this, is today on nbc. We are back with today food. This morning, the dilemma faces all parents as the School Year Comes around. How do you make healthy, satisfying breakfasts easy. And how do you make box lunches that kids will want to eat . Pamela salesman is the author of kitchen matters. Breakfast is important. You want to give them protein and something they will enjoy. What is the best recipe to start . Were going to do a hash brown waffle, that can be made the night before and popped in the toaster oven. It can be topped with so many things. I love it. The grid. Potatoes and eggs. And we got some melted butter and paprika. And some toppings we can add. Were going to start off with some eggs. Going to beat these. And well add some melted butter, which makes the hash browns really crispy. Whats nice about doing these with a waffle iron, you get crispiness. If you have a box grater, you can grate your potatoes by hand. I like them in the food proce processor with the shredding disc. And i like the yukon gold. What you want to do is see if you can squeeze out extra moisture. Thats the grated potatoes in there. You see that . All that moisture is going to n enhibit crispiness. Does this have the eggs and everything . In here. And you can have a bunch of addins. Bell peppers, cheese, cayenne. I would never do this much cayenne. But you can do leftovers from last night. Were going to brush this with a little melted butter. And if you dont do butter, no worries. Do olive oil. Can you spray it with that spray stuff . Of course. Whatever you want. You ladle that stuff in. Ladle it in. I know. Its amazing. Again, i wouldnt do this the morning of. I am way too stressed out. The night before . Yeah. You put it in the fridge and pop it in the toaster this the morning . Pop it in the toaster oven. Are you downstairs . We are. What do you think of the waffle . Really good. You can put salsa on top. Avoca avocado. Maple syrup. A fried egg on top. Al said maple syrup. Or barbecue chicken. Take us to lunch. These are fun. These are pizza muffins. This is my answer to that sadlooking cold piece of pizza in the laununchbox, no way. Whole wheat flour, cheeses, eggs, and butter milk. Little maple syrup. What we do is we start with the dry ingredients first. Youre going to mask together, the whole wheat flour, the aregul aregul aregular know. And in the book, i give lots of ways to adapt this to glutengrgluten glutenfree and dairyfree diets. Again, the maple syrup cuts some of the bitterness. Thats amazing that maple syrup is in for a pizza muffin. Just a little bit. And were going to add some tomato sauce in there. Now, do you put the dry indwrei ingredients in . Uhhuh. Why dont we do this. Away from us. And you whisk this until theres no lumps. Exactly. You dont want to overbeat because you dont want to get the glut on the start activating because it can make the muffins tough. Look at me cooking. Look at you. Oh, my. We have prepared batter here. I love using a scooper like this. An ice cream scooper. These are awesome. What are these . These are reusable liners. You have to tell your kids these can come home. A lot of times they throw these away. But theyre reusable. You scoop it out and pop it in the often for how long . 20, 25 minutes. I like to top it with sauce and cheese. But you can stick a piece of mozzarella down there. Lets get the verdict of the pizza muffins . Savannah is our food bloodhou bloodhound. She connected there was cheese in those muffins. I think theres a hint of cheese. Two major kinds of cheese. I think theyre mostly cheese, actually. It is a pizza muffin, after all. And you have a beauty snack here. These are fun if youre running out of the door for sacker practice. Theyre granola yogurt popsicles. You can take yogurt, and freeze it up. All great stuff for kids.

And even in high school, i kind of developed an outgoing personality, just as a defense mechanism . Yeah. And today, i consider myself an int introvert. They expect you to be the life of the party.

He would have told you. He didnt want you to be embarrassed. I dont believe you. He did. I do make noises when im running. There were other noises, too. Psychologists say, a good yell or groan is actually good while youre working out. You go to the gym and you hear guys lifting weights. Do you make those noises . Sometimes when i finish, weight lifting. Yeah. My 20 pounds. According to the website, elitedaily, it can feel energizing and allows you to be more mentally present overall during your workout.

Lets talk about back splash. This is what you normally see. So, heres the thing. With back splash, theres no real rules. Its kind of what you want. But subway tile is something thats timeless. What you see is the larger subway tile. In a small space, using the larger tile, truly opens it up and gives it a bigger feel. Its opposite of what you would think. Counterintuitive. If you like this i do. I do, too. You can use this as an accent. But using this to cover the whole space, its busier and it will make your space look smaller. Lets see it. Same thing.

We were talking offcamera, the cast is amazing. Jon hamm, tim robbins, lois smith. What is that like . Its like a dream team. It was fantastic. And its meaty material. We really got to dive into it.

And there was a jon hamm hologram. Holohamm. Did you make that up . I didnt think i did. What was that like . Very strange because hes not really there. But theres an app, too.

Theyre breathable underwear from fruit of the loom. [gasp] what are those . Guys. Theyre breathable underwear from fruit of the loom. Yes, they have these tiny holes to let the air through, can you help me . Wa wa weewoo look at those. Can you feel this . [blowing] turn around for me. Seriously . Yeah. Slow. Slow. Slower. Slower is that okay. I dont think you should get that dress. It doesnt fit. Stay cool with breathable underwear from fruit of the loom. All week long on today food weve been grilling and chilling, where we take one dish and turn the leftovers into another meal for later. Today, grilled shrimp and corn and you turn the leftovers into a salad for later. I am a true journalist. I want to try it and interview you. And . Its really good. This might be the best shrimp salad situation ive ever had. And the black beans in it. Extra protein. We start off with the marinade. I would suggest that you double whatever youre going to make. You can reserve half of it to use as a marinade or dressing for later. Share enough. Chop ginger, garlic, sliced jalape jalapeno. And going to take some lime zest and lime juice. Did you do the grid . Theres the grid. This is for people like me. Its on the website. Everybody saw it. Its all good. We put all this in here. All right. Are those really spicy . Pardon . What are these . Jalapenos. Sometimes theyre not as bad. Youre going to add olive oil and mix that in. A little salt. A little pepper. And then, youre going to take some peeled, deveined shrimp, with the tail still on. With it still on . Easy enough. And youre going to put this in. And let it marinade only for a about 20 to 30 minutes. The citrus you dont want the citrus to cook then it will become cevice, exactly. You let it sit for 20 or 30 minutes in the fridge. In the meantime, youve been soaking wooden skewers. Why do you soak them . You soak them because they will burn when you put them on the grill. That makes sense. Youre going to once you got your marinade, youre going to just skewer them. And i use two for stability. And youre going to thread that in. And you got that your skewers. Now, corn on the cob. Some people like to do with the husk on. I take the husk off. My husband does that, too. But he burns them. Well, the idea, if you put the olive oil on and you rub it and put it on the grill, and you put the skewers on, the shrimp, only going to take two to three minutes on each side. What about the corn . The corn, you basically, until it gets charred. I dont it doesnt take that long. About three or four minutes per side. You just let it just keep turning it. And you got that. Youll have your grilled corn. And youve got your shrimp. Now, you had your meal. Heres our secondary grid for the salad. Beans, the shrimp, the lemon. Its simple. The juice and zest of a lemon. Crushed garlic. Youre going to take some salt. Pepper. Its very similar to what you marinaded with the shrimp. Without the jalapeno. And youre going to put in your olive oil. Theyre all leftovers. Im looking to your left. Leftover. Now, i like arugula. I have an arugula story. I was at dinner with dr. Oz. We were doing an event in philly. Ooh. Dinner with dr. Oz. It was for an event. So, i notice oprah couldnt make it . No. I noticed he asked the lady, what do you call them . The server . Yes. Anyway, he asked like a manager. Can i have arugula instead. Two events, he exchanged the salad for arugula. Youve been to more than one. Now, i ask for arugula because dr. Oz asked for it. I dont know what the point is. I know theres a letdown here. But take the leftover shrimp. Leftover corn. Beans. And because they are in season, some halved cherry tomatoes. Doesnt that just look fresh . You will toss that. Now, its my turn to eat. You have a great salad on the side. Heres your entree and theres your salad. This is something i would do. Not bad. Its a win. There you go. Maybe next time youre having lunch with dr. Oz, you can make it. I was trying to share the message of how arugula is important or yummy. You could have just said i was sitting with oprah. Thats right. That happened. Go to today. Com food.
