The guy behind us here, this man over on the side here has a sign up ive been here since 6 00 yesterday, first one here, just so he could be the guy closest to the window to watch her perform inside. Maybe we can persuade her to take a walk outside and say hello to all her adoring fans in a few moments. Were so excited to have her here. First, let get right to the news. Our top story this morning, demonstrations in chicago overnight after the release of a chilling video that shows an officer fatally shooting 17yearold Laquan Mcdonald. Year ago. The video was just released. The officer was just charged. He is waking up behind bars this morning. Nbc estephanie gosk is covering the story and is in chicago for us. Steph, good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. The family of the victim say they did not want this video released. In fact the victims mother told her attorney she didnt want to watch it at all, but now that its out there the city is bracing for the reaction. Overnight there are demonstrations and an anticipation that there will be more to come today. Overnight hundreds of protesters scuffled with police in the center of chicago. One officer injured in the fray and a handful of arrests. Triggered by the public release of dramatic dashcam video recorded from a Police Shooting last october. The video begins with a patrol car ration through the streets of the citys southwest side, responding to a report of a man with a knife trying to break into cars. The video shows 17yearold Laquan Mcdonald walking in the middle of the road, a knife in hand. The Prosecutor Says he took the drug pcp that night. Officer Jason Van Dyke and his partner approach him with their weapons drawn. Within seconds van dyke starts shooting. Mcdonald stumbles. A total of 16 rounds were fired and the suspect lays on the ground. More than a year later van dyke is accused of firstdegree murder. His lawyer says he shot mcdonald because he was worried for his safety. He was brought into the situation by the actions of Laquan Mcdonald, and he reacted. Six months ago city agreed to give the victims family a 5 million settlement. The city did not admit to any wrongdoing. Last week a judge order the the Chicago Police to release the dashcam video after journalists sued for access. The indictment came just hours before the videos release. While city leaders including mayor rahm emanuel made a plea for peaceful demonstrations. I understand that the people will be upset and will want to protest when they see this video. But i would like to echo the comments of the mcdonald family. They have asked for calm and for those who choose to speak out to do it peacefully. Reporter among the places where there will be possible protests in the coming days, chicagos magnificent mile. Some groups have threatened that they will try to disrupt black friday shopping hoping that if neve an Economic Impact their voices will be hurt. Matt and savannah, back to you. Stephanie gosk in chicago, thank you. Today is one of the busiest travel days of the year, and to go along with the typical concerns over traffic and the weather, this year, as you might imagine, security is also on a lot of minds. We have the thanksgiving rush covered from all angles, starting with nbc National CorrespondentPeter Alexander. Hi, peter, good morning. Reporter matt, good morning. In the wake of the paris attacks theres a high state of alert nationwide but officials at the white house is making it very clear theres no credible or specific intelligence indicating a similar plot on the u. S. Bring it on, thats the message from the latest propaganda video from isis taunting the u. S. And mocking the american military. You attack us with 250,000 missiles, the narrator says while we send your proxies to hell with 50cent bullets. With terror on top of mind this u. S. Thisks and warplanes launching new strikes against isis president obama is trying to calmer inves here insisting the u. S. Is doing in its power to keep americans safe. We cannot and will in the succumb to fear nor can we alou fear to divide us. Thats how terrorists win. Reporter a new fbi and Homeland Security bulletin is vigilant. Despite fears of another parisstyle attack overseas here in the u. S. The top concern remoans homegrown extreatmentists and copycats with soft targets from coast to coast almost impossible to protect. Across the country, a show of force, from los angeles. We have a number of different tourist destinations thats a big part of our economy. Certainly were always vigilant to anything happening there. Beg for your life, beg reporter to new york city where our station wnbc got an exclusive look at the nypds new Critical Response command. Hundreds of any officers trained in counterterror measures. Both active shooters and hostagetakers. This is going to be an elite dedicated force trained in counterterrorism, briefed on intelligence every day and over time they will have a context behind that intelligence. Reporter in boston beefed up security from faneuil hall to fenway park prepared to host a thanksgiving day tradition, high school football. Any family setting we make sure that people are safe going to those venues. Reporter back here at the white house president obama is among those trying to balance tradition and security. Later this morning hell meet with his National Security advisers. They will review the security situation here in the u. S. , and then this afternoon the president will Part National thanksgiving turkey with a little ceremony in the rose garden. Matt and savannah. Peter alexander at the white house, peter, thank you. What are you going to face if youre driving to your holiday destination . For starter, cheap gas. Its the cheapest for thanksgiving since 2008. The average price 2. 15 a nbcs tom costello is along busy i959 in maryland. Good morning, tom, how is it looking . Yeah, good morning. In fact, because of that cheap gas we have record numbers of people on the roads. Here we are, i95 headed north out of washington, headed towards baltimore, and if you havent left already, this is the time you should leave right about now, according to the experts. The best time to start driving for thanksgiving right now and also were told this evening, but avoid the midafternoon. Avoid 12 00 to 4 00. People. Smooth sailing though were told on thanksgiving, both in the morning and in the evening. The biggest internet choke points interstate choke point in the country, chicago, a 12mile stretch of the kennedy expressway there, 16 million hours wasted every year right there stuck in traffic, i95 in los angeles, multiple stretches of i405, the i10, i110 and u. S. 101 and in new york city i59 and the lincoln tunnel. By the way, austin, texas, ranks as having one of the biggest choke points in the country. Its i35 between East Riverside drive and also east dean keaton street. 1. 5 million gallons of fuel wasted there. Best time to head home, were told, its going to be saturday after thing and monday before 10 00 a. M. , but avoid sunday. Avoid 1 00 to 6 00 p. M. Youll be joining millions of your best friend out on the roads. So here we are right now. Its not that bad. Were doing about what, ed, 60 miles an hour or so right now in. 60 isnt bad, but things are going to pick up in the coming hours. Again, northbound on one of the busiest interstates in the country. Guys, back to you. Ed is going right under the supply. Tom costello, thank you so much. With heightened security and nearly 1 million americans to fly for the thanksgiving holiday, you can expect some very long lines at airports coast to coast. Nbcs Kerry Sanders is at busy dallasfort worth international. Hi, kerry, good morning. Happy holiday. Reporter well, happy holidays. You know, traveling by air today will be a little bit like weaking barefoot over broken glass, but at least right now things are moving slowly at most airport across the country. You can see the tsa line behind me in security, a 15minute wait to get through here at dfw but as we look at whats called the misery map provided by flight aware, we can already see theres some delays. There are delays in boston, a little bit further south in new york, and then we come down to washington and, again, all the way down to miami there are some delays. Now, if youre traveling today, this may sound like the obvious report, but if youre not a regular flyer, just think about these little tips. First of all, check in online. If you have a phone or computer check in online, and if youre taking luggage and your airline charges, can you prepay. That will speed everything up, and it might even save you a few dollars because some airlines charge less than paying online than paying at counter. Arrive at the airport two hours early. You hear this all the time and a lot of people ignore it. I travel a lot and i ignore it, but today is the one day that it really does matter. Get to the airport early, especially if youre driving to the airport to park. A lot of parking lots will fill up so you have to remember everything will be a little bit slower and finally you must have a valid i. D. , like a drivers license or passport. Now the one thing you do not want to bring to the airport, and, again, this may surprise a lot of people, dont bring your gun, and what surprises people is that the tsa confiscates six guns a day across the country, and with more pats jerts traveling today, its likely they will get more guns. So, matt, some travel tips and really hopefully everything works out smoothly today because, remember, a lot of other. I think if you treat people as if they are a federal air marshal and youre courteous to those people thinking they are a federal air marshal, everything will go smoothly and youll make or treat people curiously because they are human beings. That said. And we should. This all turns on als forecast right here, because the travel could be affected in certain areas of the country. In fact, i hope kerry gets out of there today, because if he doesnt, he may be stuck there through thanksgiving. Yeah. Meantime, let show you what were looking. A for today, as savannah mentioned, not much of a problem. The only real trouble spot will be out west. Salt lake city, airport delays, accumulating snowfall. Snow will continue into wednesday night. If youre traveling say right now on i15 from salt lake to great falls, heavy snow across the mountains, slick visibility problems. Thursday, here we go. This is where the trouble starts. Denver airport, snow. Dallas and houston, thunderstorms developing and heavy rain and strong wind. Airport delays most likely. Also on i35 from kansas city to minneapolis, icy mix with snow and low visibility, kansas city to dallas and storms with locke flooding rains and localized flooding. Baltimore, soggy travel on the roads and some delays at the airport, but the big travel problem will be tomorrow, what used to be a dead day for travel and everybody is traveling almost every day so tomorrow is going to be a big problem with a lot of hubs. All right. Mr. Roker, thank you very much. Meantime, there are new calls for restraint this morning after turkey shot down a russian plane right near the syrian border. This incident escalating tension in a region that does not need more of that. Nbcs chief Foreign CorrespondentRichard Engel in istanbul, again, for us. Richard, good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. Moscow is still fuming over this, the Russian Foreign minister today accusing turkey of a, quote, planned provocation in which one russian pilot was killed, also a crew member of a russian rescue helicopter. Russia says one of its pilots was murdered in cold blood after turkey downed a russian jet yesterday. Their s. U. 24 pommer alive, russia says, but floated down into hostile territory. Ground held by the very fighters they were allegedly bombing. The socalled moderate Syrian Rebels say a battle was under way between them and the syrian regime. Their commander claims the russian plane was assisting Syrian Government forces. Did that russian plane fire on your fighters before it was shot down . Yes, after it ran out of ammunition it went towards turkey several times, he said. One of the russian pilots fell near this front line, and russia says the rebels brutally executed him. The navigator was later recovered by Syrian Forces and today arrived safely at a president Vladimir Putin who yesterday accused turkey of being in league with terrorists today warned russians they might not be safe in turkey. Turkeys Prime Minister erdogan in his first Public Comments since the incident, said he doesnt want to further escalate. The same message from president obama. I think its very important right now for us to make sure that both the russians and the turks are talking to each other to find out exactly what happened and take measures to discourage any kind of escalation. Reporter but at this stage it seems unlikely that well have any productive conversations between russia and turkey. The russians said today they are reexamining their relations with turkey. Matt, savannah, back to you. All right, Richard Engel, thank you. Turning now to the investigation into the paris terror attacks. This morning were learning more about the apparent masterminds movements on that illfated night as police in belgium issue an alert for a man who helped the key suspect get to paris. Nbcs keir simmons is in brussels. Keir, good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning. Were learning now that the french officials believe that that mastermind who youll in a police raid returned to the scenes of the massacre in the hours after the attacks. Were learning that just as french and Belgium Police issued a call to try to find another suspect, at International Arrest warrant issued for a 30yearold man, Mohamed Abrini, who was seen in a car with Salah Abdeslam who, again, youll remember they have been hunting for for more than a week now. The two of them were seen in this vehicle on their way to attack. Now, matt, reports like that are raising questions again about whether the massacre could have been prevented, a local mayor saying she was given a list of extremists before the attacks. Her office didnt know what to do with t. Meanwhile, people here are returning to work and the schools are open and the subway opened again. The simple act of taking your children to school or the morning commute has turned into an act of defiance against the terrorists. While they havent apprehended every suspect, they are havent disrupted this terror arrest carrying out so many raids and so many house raids. Donald trumps wife made her first appearance on the campaign trail last night. Mineola trump was flanked by the candidate and three of his children in south carolina. Unlike some of the rival spouses trumps wife has until now chosen to stay largely behind the scenes. He will be the best president ever. We love you. Trumps family loved the stage before he launched into an hour of criticism of both his republican rivals and he also called a trump impersonator on the stage and complimented his blond big beautiful head of a warning from the cdc who recently bought a rotisserie chicken from costco. Five of the people have been hospitalized. Consumers who purchased Chicken Salad on off before november 20th are being advised to throw it away and costco has since pulled the product from its shelves. This morning authorities are searching for the person who left a newborn baby with the umbilical cord still attached in the manger of a Church Nativity scene here in new york city. A custodian was returning to, work monday afternoon and heard the baby crying. The baby is said to be in good health at a local hospital. State law says a baby can be turned over to a church, hospital, local Police Station or Fire Department but authorities must be called right away. Officials are now looking for a calls are being received for people wanting to become parents. Eastern third of the country spectacular and plenty of sunshine.

They participate a number of drills just this week involving it was one, of course, in new york citys subway. Two terrorists with assault weapons took some hostages.

The black friday stampede is about to begin. But shoppers this year might want to slow down. Turns out they dont have to join the long lines of bargain hunters as soon as thanksgiving dinner is over. Black friday matters a lot less than it used to. Thereto was a time when all sales happened on black friday, and today it seems you start hearing about sales a month, two months before black friday.

Adele is riding high smashing album. Well chat not a morning and listen to her sing and first, what everyone is talking about. I must have called a thousand times with her giant voice and raw emotion, adele is taking the Music Industry by storm. 25 is the already the years top album expected to sell a recordshattering 3 million copies by the end of this week. Adele and her recent radio city onenight concert created a fan frenzy. Im sorry since its october release her single hello has sold more than 2. 6 million copsies. And is this weeks most downloaded song following a flawless snl performance. Even and snl sketch to solidify her as a pop culture phenomenon. Now im starting to get an accent. With her signature laugh, fun. Fairies have wings. I made up my mind her debut album 19, her age famous in 2008. We could have had it all adeles next mega recorder 21 exploded and landed six grammys, including album of the year and became the top seller for two straight years. And now with 25, adele is once again singing her way straight into music history. When we were young hello. Welcome. Hello. Its great to have you here. Thank you. Thanks for having me back. Just brag about you for a second. Youre going to sell 3 million copies of this album this week. 2. 6 million downloads of hello. 1. 1 million in like a week. You make all your own clothes, youre a black belt in judo, you cook really well. How do you get your arms around all of this . Its pretty overwhelming, but its its incredible, you know, and the reaction getting here this morning and everyone being here is so beautiful. Its so nice. Adele said to me in the commercial break, she said ive been here like three times before and no one was ever even outside, and now this place is packed. And they must be so cold. I dont think they mind, to be honest with you. You said that the success of 22 was scary. Yes. So is it less scary this time around . I feel like i kind of knew what i was getting into this time, not that i expected this kind of reaction, but because i had experienced the success of 21. I was more red they time. When it happened on 21 i was clueless. Never happened to me before. Also more prepared and i also have a kid which is the most grounding thing which im sure any parent will know. I want to talk about angelo in a sec. After 21 you took time and you sat down and to start writing songs about this album you had a pretty severe case of writers block. Yeah. You said you couldnt write songs from the same place that you were for 21. Yeah. Did you start to worry that you could only write music from an unhappy place . Yeah. I think that is the case, and i think its just a way of channeling it. I dont think sadness is always devastating. It can be quite uplifting and joyful as well and sometimes you have to let yourself to be sad in order to move forward. Once i started looking tat like that, im quite happy. I felt like i didnt need to let myself going in order to access my creativity so thats good. I talked to you for a few minutes at radio city the other day and you told me angelo is a key factor in how happy you are right now. Youve had time to dedicate to him in between these two albums since hes been born. Do you get concerned at all that now with the explosion of this album that youre going to have to get back on that career treadmill and have less time to dedicate to him . Oh, my son comes everywhere with me. Were good. Were tight. Hes first person i see in the morning and the last person i say at night and vice versa so were all good. I make time for him like i always have. One of the main reasons why ive been away for so long because, no, my kid is more important, you know, and and my kid comes first and my music comes second and i come second, you know. A lot of us were at radio city the other night when you held your concert. First concert in several years. I was so relieved. Tell me how nervous you were because i watched as that curtain parted and you were standing there and you saw that crowd. I was trying to be like deadpan like trying to be like a do i have ashe and i couldnt, and i saw the crowd and i just melted. I was so happy to be there. I was very nervous. After that the second or third song i was chilled, i was sglrt what do you like when you get nervous . Do you get fidgety, walk around . Fidgety, i moan and complain and escape and try to get out, like belch. Ive never heard that. So they are vows singing this early in the morning ill be like backstage. You said in the concert, said something that i thought was so sweet. You said it was the first time that your boyfriend. Yeah. Had ever had the chance to see you perform in concert. Yeah. The first time he saw me was at grammys which was the first time i opened my mouth to sing after my surgery and everyone was holding on, but, yeah, his first the first of my whole show that he had seen and he loved it and such a great moment. So he approved. Even if its rubbish he would have approved. A would have been a deal ender. By the way, that wasnt the best ive ever seen you. I watched something on television, online the other day i think you did for the bbc. Yeah. Where you you disguised yourself. Yes. And you went to an audition for adele impersonators. Yeah. First of all, youre a very good actress. Oh, i thank you. No, i mean it. Thank you very much. I thought you were incredibly natural. What was this like for you . Amazing. They asked me to judge it, and i was like no, no, i want to be an impersonator. It was amazing. Nothing quite prepared me for walking towards ten other girls dressed up like me. That was pretty overwhelming but and the whole thing was funny and its it was really, really beautiful and i cried a whole lot once i revealed myself. But my accent so obvious. I think shes like him, and oh, my god. You had a fake nose on. Fake chin. I think the funny thing is could you have imagined ten years ago that there would be auditions for adele impersonators . No, never, never. Theres a drag queen in l. A. That i really want to see. He looks amazing, does a really good job. Now that ive done that, opened a whole new world to them and i want to find all of them. Youre going to sing a song yeah. Can you quickly tell me the back story of the song because its really sweet. Im singing a million years ago in a little while. Its about basically this park in south london me and my friends used to go to all the time and would just hang out and chat about everything and big things and small things and that, and i drove past it a month ago now, and i just burst into tears because none of us were there, it wasnt just me, none of us could be there because we have lives and were all adults now. Its an emotional song. Break. Im going to try to. This is 7 news. Now. Jadiann gad morn, everybody. 8 27 on this day before thanksgiving. Traffic moving very nicely at the braintree split.

In her new memoir called boys in the trees can the simon opens up about her difficult childhood, crippling anxiety and stage fright and some rocky romances with some of the most irresistible men in hollywood, and its a pleasure to have carly simon here. Good morning to you. Good morning to you. You have this wonderful career. Youre such a legend, and only now are you writing this book. Why why does now seem like story . It really didnt make any kind of sense. It just i was asked if i would write it for a great deal of money, and and, of course, i didnt end up keeping any of it because it it went to a different publisher during the course of it, and so the deal was off, but but i got with people that understood me and understood what i wanted to say as opposed to people who were telling me what to write and in what voice to write it. We learned so much about you, and you see in the book that paradox between on the one hand you being shy and kind of wanting to be your own area, and then at the same time wanting to be known and seen and to be in the limelight. And you talk a lot very honestly about stage fright and anxiety and what you went through. Anxiety was always a tremendously large part of my life, and i think in part because of trying to look for what the truth is and not being able to find it or being able to hear what, you know, i was told that the opposite was true of what i thought was true. I had been very careful as a mother to not twist my kids minds up with facts that are not fact. And we learn a lot about your relationship with james taylor, and i think you write that there was a certain predestination about it, and you write very lovingly about him. I think so. You also, as you mentioned, are doing music as part of this, and you have a new song with your son ben, and what was that like . Well, ive been writing songs all during this writing the book process, but i never really being finished and recording them, but there is this one exception. Ben and i had been in a terrible fight, and i went upstairs ben and sally have have more direct influence on my feelings than anybody could, and when when ben hurts my feelings or sale hurts my feelings i went upstairs and i picked up the guy tar because thats where thats where the first person who is in pain wants to go to, wants to go to the guitar and pick it up and play it and and dispense with the i me person and go to the she, but this song actually came out in the first person and it goes i cant thank you enough because ben came upstairs, and he apologized. After the apology i i wrote i cant thank you enough for youve heard me, you really heard me. You heard what i had to say, and so when i played him that first verse, he said, god, i love, that i want to write it with you, and so we wrote the rest of the song together, and its just its our song of thanks and gratitude which is so specifically this time of year, thanksgiving, such a wonderful emotion. Were almost out of time, but, you know, i couldnt let you go without asking about youre so vain. So now we know we reveal that warren bait was the inspiration for the second first and theres a first and third verse and i think youre not ready to reveal those yet. Are you kind of like, ugh, enough about that. Been fun. Its been fun, and that song is always fun for me, and and its just i cant answer it i cant do it justice. Cant do the answer justice. Some mysteries are just nice to remain mysteries anyway. Hope so. Carle simon, congratulations on book. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you. Once again the book is called voice in the trees. Thanks very much. Well ask a question. Can wrangler even compete . Were going to get a sneak preview of the National Dog Show, but, first, on a wednesday now. At a thanksgiving tradition. The National Dog Show, john ohurley is here and has brought along a few friends. Nice to have you here. We have an extraordinary show. First of all, purina is doing a wonderful thing for every tweet you do in the show, donating 1 up to 75,000. Tweet what youre thankful for for your dog this year. And what do we have. Three new breeds starting down at far end, thats a spanish walker dog. Cute. And that is rudy, and then in dogs. This is cecel yeah, the hunting check, a brand new breed, hunter, small game. And then, of course, here, one of my favorite breeds this year, want to be known. This is from the italian alps. If you look very closely, look at mats here, natural. Formed by three different types of hair, wool, dog hair and goat hair. Wow. And thats a natural look. What kind of shampoo do you use . All of it. Youve become a real pro at this. When you start the show and look at dogs, do you have a sense which one is going to be the winner . Fortunately i have david frye knowledgeable man in dogs. I have the tendency to go to drama and the cute factor and david knows the compilation of the dogs better than i do and im getting a better eye. Not looking at just looks and charm but also the purpose of these dogs, right. Theres a written standard for every dog, not only for the form the dog but the function of the dog. This is a dog thats a herding dog so imagine that this thing would be running across the plains of the alps. Barking. Barking. He thinks were sheep. Its so much fun to watch. We love this show every year. By the way, this is will. My little boy will. Adorable. 14 years weve been there now and were expecting an audience of about 25 million. 14 years, thats two dog years.
