Nascar driver ryan newman walks out of the hospital after that terrifying crash that could have cost him his life. This morning, touching images everyone is talking about today, thursday, february 20th, 2020. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with Savannah Guthrie and hoda kotb live from studio 1a in Rockefeller Plaza hey everybody. Welcome to today were so happy youre joining us on this thursday morning, february 20, 2020. In a world where you want good news, you look at ryan newman, see him walking out of the Hospital Holding his little girls hands walking out, what is it, two days after that terrible crash when you see the crash and you think about how he was able to walk out, its just its hard to believe definitely a miracle. Well have the latest on what exactly happened with him a little later we have to talk about last night. Boy, were the knives out at th democratic debate in las vegas sponsored by nbc while several candidates fought back from the attack, the biggest target of the night, Michael Bloomberg, the newest candidate in the race. We have a full analysis as well as a report from the white house. Lets start with nbc White House Correspondent Kristen Welker shes in nevada. Caucusgoers will cast their ballots on saturday. Boy, this debate gave them a lot to think about, kristen. Reporter it sure did, savannah good morning to you. This was the ninth democratic debate but by far the most contentious. The main target was former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg who suffered a series of bruising blows from rivals. It was a night of fireworks that was make or break for so many on that stage in las vegas, the gloves coming off quickly, the candidates piling on newcomer, former mayor Michael Bloomberg, senator Elizabeth Warren leading the charge democrats take a huge risk if we substitute one arrogant billionaire for another. Reporter warren also slamming bloomberg for his alleged history of sexist remarks in the workplace. A billionaire who calls women fat broads and horsefaced lesbians no, im not talking about donald trump. Im talking about mayor bloomberg. Reporter bloomberg trying to downplay the matter. None of them accused me of doing anything other than maybe they didnt like a joke i told reporter warren calling on bloomberg to be more transparent. Mr. Mayor, are you willing to release all those women from those nondisclosure agreements so we can hear their side of the story . Theyre agreements between two parties that wanted to keep it quiet thats up to them. They signed those agreements and well live with it reporter also under a microscope, bloombergs support over a controversial policing policy when he was mayor which he has apologized for. Mr. Bloomberg had policies in new york city of stop and frisk which went after africanamerican and latino people in an outrageous way. When we discovered, i discovered that we were doing many, many too many stop and frisks, we cut 95 of it out. Reporter former Vice President joe biden challenging that defense the reason that stop and frisk changed is because barack obama sent moderators to see what was going on. The policy was abhorrent and it was a violation of every right people have. Reporter bloomberg who spent more than 350 million of his own money on political ads fending off repeated attacks on his vast fortune all i know is ive been very lucky, made a lot of money and im giving it all away to make the country better a good chunk goes to the Democratic Party as well. Reporter when pressed on releasing his tax returns. The number of pages will probably be thousands of pages it cant go to turbo tax. Im looking at my husband in the front row that has to do our taxes all the time we probably could go to turbo tax. Reporter bloomberg mocking sanders, a selfdescribed democratic socialist. What a wonderful country we have the best known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses. What did i miss here reporter sanders, the National Front runner, was the nights other target, with mayor Pete Buttigieg taking sharp aim at both men. We shouldnt have to choose between one candidate who wants to burn this party down and another candidate who wants to buy this party out. Reporter buttigieg questioning senator Amy Klobuchars Foreign Policy knowledge after she admitted she forgot the name of mexicos president earlier this week. And were not able to speak to literally the first thing about the politics of the country are you trying to same im dumb, or are you mocking me here, pete reporter it was a heated night, that is for sure. Watching it all from the sidelines, the current commanderinchief, President Trump is actually here in las vegas for a west coast swing he unleashed his own scathing attack against bloomberg overnight tweeting, quote, mini Mike Bloombergs debate performance tonight is perhaps the worst in the history of debates and there have been really bad ones. As for bloomberg, he actually hasnt debated since 2009, a mayoral contest. His campaign striking a defiant stance overnight, saying bloomberg is just getting warmed up Kristen Welker in las vegas for us thank you. For more on last nights debate and what it means going forward, im joined by former democratic senator of missouri, claire mccaskill. Good morning to you. Good morning. I dont think theres even dispute even from the bloomberg folks this was not a good debate for him. Can he overcome this, basically buy more ads and hope to overcome the performance clearly thats going to be the strategy this guy has unlimited resources and he has organizations on the ground in all these super tuesday states theres staff in all these states for Mike Bloomberg. Theres some things money cant buy. That was a particularly weak performance. He didnt seem to have answers of course, he was fired on from all directions it was interesting to me they were in las vegas where there was one of the most dramatic brutal shootings in our countrys history, very little time on guns frankly, i was shocked that the mayor didnt pivot to that, because thats one place where he can legitimately say ive used my wealth to try to go after the nra and the gun lobby and, frankly, it is one of bernies vulnerabilities lets talk about Elizabeth Warren shes proven again to be a very fierce debater Something Like this, can one performance like that put her back into contention she never really was out of contention shes always been hovering in the top three or four, sometimes two, even one for a while. Yes, i think she had a really Strong Performance last night. I think she realized that she cant sit back this was a doordie moment for most of these campaigns last night, and it showed it was awkward to watch because it was so negative, but they all felt the urgency of right now we have got to stay in this thing youre going to start seeing people drop out. Thought the democrats would all be united, the 11th amendment, thou shalt not criticize another democrat it got personal between amy and pete it felt like a visceral dislike of one another im not sure it was as much that as the two of them are going after the same votes in many ways. Theyre trying to be practical, pragmatic, midwestern roots. So theyre in each others way and i think pete was trying to say, hey, washington experience is not all its cracked up to be and amy pivoted and said, wait a minute, be in the arena for a while before you pass judgment. Isnt that interesting . It is a circular firing squad in the nonsanders lane if that goes on, sanders is seeming to be collecting delegates. Hes so confident in nevada, hes going to california people are already voting there. He seems to be on a glide path at the moment. He certainly is in a commanding position right now. But weve learned things change. Theyve changed dramatically in this race over the last 12 months as some people are saying, this is when it starts really counting lets wait and see how everyone votes on super tuesday hes behind biden in texas hes way ahead of biden in california who emerges on super tuesday even as a close second, maybe somebody does, maybe somebody doesnt. What did you think about biden . Here is somebody who is very much struggling. His campaign telegraphed they think theyd come in second in nevada they need to have to win in South Carolina what did you think i thought he also had a strong night debates have not been his strong suit in this deal. Last night he was stronger, more forceful than in previous debates, but so was everyone else the question is does it help him move back into a more commanding position im not sure it does. After super tuesday, do you think the socalled moderate lane just winnows and, therefore, you have sanders versus some sort of moderate who emerges after that there will be a lot of pressure on three of those six candidates to leave the race and hopefully embrace another one other candidate so that you begin to see the oneonone contrast between bernie and his view of a democratic socialist versus some of the candidates that have a more pragmatic approach. Senator mccaskill, well continue to watch. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Hoda, over to you. Craig joins the table. Another big political story were watching later this morning, one of President Trumps longtime political confidants, roger stone, will be sentenced for charges stemming from the investigation into Russian Election meddling. It comes as the president is nominating a controversial figure to head up the countrys intelligence agencies. Nbcs White House Correspondent Peter Alexander is following all of it for us peter, good morning to you reporter craig, good morning to you roger stone sentencing will punctuate an intense week that saw the president rebuked by his attorney general, who even considered resigning over President Trumps tweets, criticizing the Justice Department the question today, how tough a punishment will stone get and how will the president react despite the president s repeated complaints his longtime ally roger stone has been treated horribly. Nine years for doing something that nobody can even define what he did reporter later today his former political adviser will be sentenced by a judge he was convicted for lying to congress and witness tampering President Trumps constant commentary about stones case triggering his attorney general, william barr, to deliver this rare rebuke. I think its time to stop the tweeting about department of justice criminal cases. Reporter all four prosecutors on the case resigning in protest after barr overruled their sentencing recommendation of seven to nine years for stone. After the president commuted rod blagojevichs sentence this week. Im returning home from a long exile, a freed political prisoner. Reporter the disgraced former illinois governor praising the president but showing no remorse for his criminal conduct in an interview with fox news. Uncontrolled, unaccountable, lawless prosecutors who did this to me. I broke no laws, crossed no lines. Reporter the president tweeted blagojevich didnt sell the senate seat. In fact, he was convicted for trying to profit off Barack Obamas vacated seat ive got this thing and its [ bleep ] golden and im just not giving it up for [ bleep ] nothing. Reporter all of it that wikileaks founder Julian Assange claiming that he was offered a pardon in 2017 on behalf of President Trump if assange agreed to say russia was not involved in leaking democratic memes during the 2016 election the former congressman and the white house have both disputed the claim. The white house calling it a complete fabrication and a total lie. On the topic of pardons, President Trump has not ruled out a pardon for stone aides here tell me the president is considering additional pardons and commutations and even assembling a team of advisers to recommend and vet possible candidates for clemency, effectively bringing what has been a process handled by the Justice Department into the white house. Savannah. The president s pick for the acting head of the Intelligence Community, director of National Intelligence, richard grenell. This is a controversial figure because hes been named as an acting head of the dni, he doesnt have to be senate confirmed. Reporter youre right. Grenell, currently the u. S. Bm ambassador to germany, a fierce trompe loeilist, will be the acting director of National Intelligence he is divisive, sharp twitter presence, and crashed with european allies and others critics say he has no intelligencerelated experience to lead the 17 agencies he will head up including the cia. He replaces joe maguire also in the role as an acting capacity because he is acting, he doesnt need to be confirmed by the senate the senate top democrat claiming the president is trying to sidestep the senates crucial role of proving such consequential figures. The president s relationship with the Intelligence Community has been rocky the critics warn the president politicizing this post with this hire, but it will give him an outspoken ally overseeing agencies. Hes expressed a suspicion. Peter alexander, a lot going on at the white house. Thank you. Turning to breaking news tied to the coronavirus virus. This morning were learning two people have died who were on board the diamond princess cruise ship and more people have been infected in japan nbcs Janis Mackey Frayer has the latest on this hey, janis, good morning reporter good morning, hoda, more passengers were able to come off the cruise ship, and they were relieved their quarantine is over there are a lot of concerns coming with it with so many confirmed cases on board, another 13 being revealed just in the last few minutes, and confirmation that two passengers have died after being infected on the ship this morning growing concerns for the hundreds of passengers finally getting off the diamond princess cruise ship. After japanese officials confirm two passengers have died from the coronavirus, a man and a woman, both japanese and in their 80s with chronic conditions they were infected on board and taken to the hospital a week ago when they tested positive. More than 620 cases have been confirmed among the passengers and crew on the cruise ship, raising worries about how the virus was able to spread so rapidly among people who should have been isolated some experts questioning ventilation and an apparent lack of controlled areas. I would not stay on this ship if i were you. Its been surreal reporter arnold and regina hopland from tennessee were ready to go on the evacuation flight back to the u. S then she was told she had the virus. It was a disaster waiting to happen i feel that were sitting in a petri dish waiting to get infected. Reporter Health Officials questioning how safe it is to let everyone go free any americans coming off the ship wont be able to return home to the u. S. For at least 14 days, and only if they test negative for the virus the hundreds of americans who were evacuated from the ship earlier this week are now under quarantine in the u. S. 13 of them who tested positive being monitored at the National Quarantine center in nebraska where another 57 people airlifted out of wuhan could be cleared to go home today in china, the number of infections appears to be easing, with entire cities locked down and restrictions on hundreds of millions of people the chinese have done something thats been unprecedented, and maybe it is working. I hope it is this may be the first sign that it is working. Reporter still dozens of new coronavirus cases are emerging elsewhere in the region, in south korea and singapore. Here in japan, there are dozens of coronavirus cases being confirmed even beyond the cruise ship, to the point where the government here is advising people to take precautions and avoid hosting large gatherings still, any passengers who test negative for the virus will be able to come off the ship by the end of tomorrow.

Back now indepth today on this thursday. Do you have your real id yet im asking you that, of course, is the new drivers license youll need to board a plane starting in october. Seven months to go. The nations airports are warning that many states are so behind in issuing these new ids, it could actually be a recipe for disaster at tsa checkpoints coming this fall nbcs tom costello is at Reagan National where we often find him. Tom, good morning. Reporter good morning. Thats exactly the fear. Many state dmvs say they cannot keep up with demand. Listen to this some states havent even started issuing real ids yet now we have just seven months to go Congress Passed this law, of course, after 9 11 to create a Single National standard for all 50 states. With only a third of the airports having real ids, they say its time for a delay. Remember those hours long tsa lines at airports four years ago when the tsa was understaffed tens of thousands of passengers missing their flights, unable to get through security the nations airports are today warning we could see those lines again come october 1st if the white house doesnt delay the deadline for real id thats when all travelers must have a real id or alternative to fly even in the u. S. October 1st without a delay is going to be chaos i dont think the administration wants it i know the nations airports dont want it, and most importantly, i dont think the traveling public wants that. Reporter many states are way behind in issuing real ids which often have a star or logo. Just 34 of americans currently have a real id, twothirds dont, leaving them just over seven months, if they plan to use a drivers license, to get through a tsa checkpoint make sure you get a new id by october 1st of 2020. Your id will be real id compliant by then. Reporter tsa officers are already warning passengers the clock is ticking nationwide dmv officers are filled with people who want to upgrade, some making appointments months in advance like bonnie in l. A i think an point helped even though it took over three months to get the appointment reporter others in long lines like eric silver in new york. Were being asked to spend a half day or maybe a full day to do something that was never broken in the first place. Reporter its a problem coast to coast only 12 of minnesotans have a real id. 25 of california drivers. New jersey admits it is struggling to keep up. Oklahoma wont start issuing real ids until april 30th. Washington state and oregon suggest getting a passport is faster oregon wont start until july and says theyd have to print seven licenses per minute to meet the deadline. My biggest fear is people will show up october 1st with an airport and theyll miss their flight because they have to go through this alternative verification system by the tsa reporter what do you need to bring to the dmv to get a real id bring a birth certificate or a passport, proof of your Social Security number, a card or tax return and two proofs of residence, a mortgage or rental statement and a utility bill. Tom, i guess this is the question is there a chance that this deadline could be delayed if states really arent going to be ready . Reporter Homeland Security is saying at this point no, they are sticking with the deadline however, Homeland Security is allowing the states now to accept your supporting documentation electronically however, youve still got to bring your documentation to the dmv and youve still got to meet with the people. What theyre saying is submit it electronically to speed up the interview process. If you dont have a real id on october 1st, you can still fly but you have to bring a passport, military id, federal id of global entry card just to board a domestic flight guys. All right, tom. Stay right there and tell us what happens next. Appreciate it. Thank you, tom. Mr. Roker, you have your real id. Of course he does. How long . About four months i dont have much going on below average temperatures from denver, kansas city, cleveland, macon, myrtle beach into dallas. That extends tomorrow from Oklahoma City into houston, beckley, West Virginia but the good news is temperatures start to rise this weekend back to seasonal levels. Youll have 59 on monday in little rock, 71 in mobile. Wilmington 64. New york city will be looking at 50 good morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. Nice sunshine as you get ready to head out the door.

At the end of next month, end of march, new changes including closing their office in Buckingham Palace and what about those titles nbcs Kelly Cobiella is live at Buckingham Palace. Good morning reporter good morning to you, savannah. We know the exit date, march 31st, they will no longer be working members of the royal family as of april 1st that means harry and meghan wont have their office here, wont have their staff here, they wont be doing work on behalf of the queen. Its not exactly a clean break prince harry spotted in Vancouver Island grabbing a sandwich, perhaps a bit of the more normal life he and wife Meghan Markle are hoping to create in canada with archie now Buckingham Palace say theyll officially be out of the royal family fold april 1st. Harry, who cherished his time in the military, serving two tours in afghanistan will keep his rank but wont perform any official duties. The prince will still work with the Invictus Games, the program he founded for wounded vets. He and meghan went public as a couple at the toronto games in 2017 Buckingham Palace says hell continue his work supporting service members, the environment and hiv. Meghans focus, womens empowerment, gender equality and education. The couple hope to do it all under the sussex royal label its on their Instagram Page with more than 11 million followers and their official website. The palace now says discussions are still ongoing. However, a change will be announced alongside the launch of their new nonprofit organization. The word royal is very tightly controlled if theyre going to be outside the royal family, the queen has effectively said you cant use it youre going to have to change it reporter the latest details coming after that dramatic day in january when the duke and duchess of sussex announced they were stepping back as senior members of the royal family. Our hope was to continue serving the queen, the commonwealth and my military associations but without public funding. Reporter the couple announcing their last event as senior royals, harry meeting up with rock legend jon bon jovi to record a song for the Invictus Games and meghan taking part in International Womens day. On march 9th, the two will join the royal family for Commonwealth Day in london just as they did last year. That may be the last time we see them with the rest of the royal family for some time in public they will, the palace says, spend some time here in the uk regularly, the palace said, over the next 12 months interestingly, the queen did not take away harrys honorary military titles, maybe leaving the palace doors barely cracked open in case the sussexs have a change of heart, guys.

Nbc White House Correspondent Kristen Welker is in nevada. Caucusgoers will cast those ballots on saturday, kristen good morning. Reporter the caucus is coming up, savannah. Good morning to you. It was fight night here in las vegas. By far the most heated democratic debate yet, and the key target was former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg, as you say, the caucuses just days away it was make or break for so many on that stage. In las vegas, the gloves coming off quickly. The candidates piling on newcomer, former mayor Michael Bloomberg, senator Elizabeth Warren leading the charge. Democrats take a huge risk if we just substitute one arrogant billionaire for another. Reporter warren also slamming bloomberg for his alleged history of sexist remarks in the workplace. A billionaire who calls women fat broads and horsefaced lesbians, and no, im not talking about donald trump im talking about mayor bloomberg. Reporter bloomberg trying to downplay the matter. None of them accused me of doing anything other than maybe they didnt like a joke i told. Reporter also under a microscope, bloombergs support of a controversial policing policy when he was mayor which he has apologized for. Mr. Bloomberg had policies in new york city of stop and frisk which went after africanamerican and latino people in an outrageous way. The policy was abhorrent and a violation of every right people have. Reporter bloomberg arguing a self described democratic socialist like sanders cant win in november. I cant think of an easier way for donald trump to get reelected than listen to this conversation its ridiculous. Reporter sanders was the nights other big target with mayor Pete Buttigieg taking sharp aim at both men. We shouldnt have to choose between one candidate who wants to burn this party down and another who wants to buy this party out.

Were back with a new report about those active Shooter Drills in schools. If you have kids, theyve probably been through one of these things now, some worry these drills are going too far and leaving children absolutely terrified. Nbcs joe fryer is here with more weve talked about this before on the show. This is an issue that has a lot of parents and kids shaken up today 95 of schools put students through some kind of active Shooter Drill some practice lockdowns, others are made to feel real, teaching kids how to run, hide, barricade doors, even fight back now a new report finds instead of improving safety, these drills are just traumatizing kids. It was really emotional. Reporter cheryl knew something was wrong last year when her 5yearold daughter ramona, whose face were blurring for privacy, came home from kindergarten. The drawing in her backpack was a radical departure from the rainbows and unicorns ramona typically sketches. She wrote in her 5yearold scrawl across the top, this girl looks like shes going to die. Reporter cheryl says hours later through tears, ramona said her class had a lockdown drill that day and had to hide under their desks. She cried some more and paused and said is this because a bad person with a gun is going to come and shoot at me in my classroom . This is the first you had heard of the drill correct this is the first i had heard of it. How did that make you feel as mom . I was pretty upset. Reporter her concerns are echoed by a new paper published by the nations two largest teachers unions and the gun control advocacy group, every town for gun safety. They say these drills are part of a 2. 7 billion industry grown up around the anguish of parents and school staff, yet there extremely limited research on their effectiveness. But there is research that shows that they cause depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, worsening school performance. So we have to decide as a country, are we doing more harm than good . Reporter High School Student ryan pascal says her first drill was unannounced, creatin confusion among classmates who werent sure if it was a real threat. I think that was the scariest part, not knowing what was happening. Reporter do you feel if its a drill the school should tell you in advance, hey, this is a drill . Absolutely. There should never be an instance where a student thinks their life is in danger when it actually isnt Security Breach reporter the new report is recommending schools give families advanced notice of any drills and they avoid lifelike simulations. They want more resources focused on preventing gun violence through more Mental Health programs and education about safe firearm storage. We spend our time and attention on these drills. Were taking away our attention, time and efforts into preventing gun violence from happening at schools. Reporter some School Security experts argue these drills are necessary. Lives are at stake. When you provide them with more option than just to hide reporter joe trains students as young as sixth grade how to respond to active shooters in some scenarios that includes trying to take down a gunman as a last resort. He says his drills are always announced in advanced and Mental Health counselors are on site throughout if we can save one life in a school shooting, id say it is well worth it and well effective. Reporter critics argue drills can go too far, dousing students in fake blood, having people impersonate shooters or rattle classroom doors jackson and duncan say thats what happened during their after School Program drill. They sent staff out to p pretend to be an intruder. They would bang on the doors. Reporter leaving some classmates terrified i was really upset. I was engaged. Reporter their mom mia says its proof something needs to change. I didnt know about it. I feel like someone took tha right away from me as their parent to protect them lets work towards making the school a safe environment for our kids again where they feel secure its a tough one. My son is 5. Hes already had drills like this. Your daughter, too. Yeah, they have drills. How do you feel about that . Im really mixed about it i felt what i heard from my daughter about the drills, i felt the school handled it and had a really good way of making her feel safe. These are the things that will always keep us safe. She said, it is like how you bring an umbrella, mommy, just in case it rains shes in kindergarten. I dont believe you should actually scare the children, where they bang on the door. Like someone is there thats one of the issues. Making sure do parents know in advance, do kids know in advance and what do the drills actually look like. A lot of people discuss the fact that you want to weigh the pros and cons you want to make sure the kids are ready. Same time, the likelihood of a school shooting, though they get a lot of attention, is still very rare. Its the adults, the teachers, supervisors, staff and security, they need to drill maybe they need the children, but its the adults who need to be ready and have a plan you have to question the logic of a bunch of sixt graders tackling a gunman. Thats for another day. Thank you, joe. Thought provoking. Lets get another check of the forecast from mr. Sunshine himself. Yes we dont have a lot of sunshine down south. Talking heavy rain and also mountain snows, lakeeffect snow around the eastern great lakes awfully chilly in the northeast.

Coming up next, the warnin signs of a dangerous heart condition that can strike at any age no matter how fit you are, how healthy you eat. A fascinating story and a good warning, too first thiss today on nbc i growing up in a family that struggled economically powerfully influenced my values. Bernie sanders hes fighting to raise wages. And guarantee health care for all. Now, our country is at a turning point. Hard working people, betrayed by trump, struggling to survive. In this moment, we need a fighter. Bernie sanders. We know hell fight for us as president because he always has. Im Bernie Sanders and i approve this message. Were back with our ongoing series heart smart today. February is American Heart Health month this morning were shining a light on a medical condition that may not sound that familiar. A lot of people know the warning signs of a heart attack, shortness of breath, chest pains and sweating until now, few people believe it could happen to someone seemingly healthy and young, a young woman. Nbcs Stephanie Gosk has that story. Reporter alexandra is 33 years old. Young, active and with no history of major Health Problems until one morning last year. It was a saturday morning im cleaning up around the house and i felt this weird pressure in my chest that i had never really felt before reporter the pain shot down her arm and she got scared, racing to call 911 i texted my husband and i said i think im having a heart attack. You dont hear about women in their 30s having heart attacks. No. Reporter at the hospital, doctors told her a heart attack was unlikely, but as a precaution ran a number of tests, and thats when she got the shocking news. When the blood test came back, an elevated level of a protein released during a cardiac episode. So the er doctor told me, i know this isnt what you want to hear, im so surprised to see this myself, and we werent expecting this in other words, youve had some kind of heart attack. Yes, thats when it became real that was the most terrifying moment. Reporter dr. Jason, a cardiologist at mt. Sinai hospital in new york city, showed me alexandras heart. In ali, we can see this area here thats all narrowed down. Reporter her condition something called spontaneous coronary artery dissection or scad. It can be thought of as a tearing of the arteries of the heart, where the walls of the artery is compromised so there is poor blood supply if you have poor blood supply to the heart, what does that do . That causes a heart attack. Reporter last year his practice treated eight dozen cases of the disease a fraction of the 1 million americans who suffer from heart attacks each year. The doctor says while scad is the most common cause of heart attacks in younger women, it often goes undiagnosed. Are you seeing more cases like ali were definitely seeing more cases. Its a question of whether were truly having more of it happening or whether were better at diagnosing and recognizing it what do you suspect i suspect were definitely a lot better at diagnosing and recognizing it reporter theres no cure for scad and no diagnostic test. The message is clear, dont ignore the warning signs. You made changes to your diet what specifically did you make ive gone on a strict mediterranean diet. Reporter alexandras treatment was simple bedrest she stayed home from work for a month and took it easy gradually, her damaged artery healed scad sufferers have a 20 chance of having another heart attack im the last person i would have thought itd happen to. Youre fit, eat well. What is the most Important Message you want to send trust your gut, trust your body trust what youre feeling and insist on proper care. Reporter for today, Stephanie Gosk, nbc news, new york. Good news is that her prognosis is good and says shes not lifting heavy things, stuff like that. My word, to see someone that young.

Mr. President it. Wont. Work. Newspapers report bloomberg is the democrat trump fears most. As president , universal healthcare that lets people keep their coverage if they like it.

I led a complex, diverse city through 911 and i have common sense plans to move america away from chaos to progress im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. I like to be in america it has been more than 60 years since west side story took broadway by storm the retelling of romeo and juliet has enchanted millions with its emotional score and exhilarating choreography. The latest revival opening tonight is reinterpreting the classic and breaking a record along the way. Well talk with the new faces, and there are a lot of them in this show, in just a minute. First, here is a look at their west side story. Tonight reporter its an iconic love story that first captivated audiences more than 60 years ago. A musical that broke the traditional mold star crossed lovers at the center of two new york rival city gangs, the sharks and the jets, immortalized in the 1961 film but west side story first found a place in American Culture when it debuted on broadway in 1957 now the latest revival is daring audiences to revisit the musical in todays world i like to be in america reporter acknowledging issues of the 1950s still exist. You cant really keep it at arms length anymore and say thats a period piece. Thats america then, not america now. Were still dealing with a lot of these issues. Reporter the cast now more diverse. You can be an africanamerican male or female and you can tell a jet story and you can be mixed ethnically an still tell a shark story i feel pretty reporter i feel pretty from the original bernstein original musical is out of the show the revival marks the first time new choreography illustrates the story, a departure from Jerome Robbins wellknown work. The fight scenes are more raw. The show is expecting big praise but not without controversy. There have been protests about actor amar ramasar fired by the new York City Ballet but reinstated over accusations of sharing explicit photos of a female dancer. The producers of west side story citing the ballets reinstatement are standing by him. The innocence of the teen lives told on stage has given new mean meaning to the casting a record 34 actors officially making their broadway debut tonight. We are so excited to have them here. Joining us, isaac powell, shereen pimental, dharon jones plays riff, the leader of the jets making his broadway debut along with 33 other folks tonight, so first of all, congratulations, you guys. Thank you thank you [ applause ] we can just feel the energy this is such a beloved show. Your telling of it is really, really different, isaac, isnt it i think so. Yeah were doing a west side story for the 21st century the words are still the same, the songs are still the same, the heart of it is still the same were just presenting it in a new way. Shereen, was this a show i feel everyone knows it yall are so young im like, do you actually know it does west side story hold that place in your hearts, too . It absolutely does. West side story has been part of my life in such a great way i got to see the 2009 revival when i was really young. In high school i basically sang through the score both as anita and maria. But maria was definitely the role i wanted to play. So to do it now you two are veterans. Youve been on broadway since you were 9 so weird. Veterans tonight is your broadway debut, playing riff. Broadway debut. Playing riff has been a dream, first africanamerican riff on broadway its a dream come true a lifechanging experience so happy for the opportunity. Its classic in terms of the songs, but also in terms of the material, what it means to people youre really kind of retelling it for this modern age what do you think people will take away from that . I think theres a lot to take away that you have to look at art and something thats living and breathing and you can continually interpret a classic as well as just because it was set in the 1950s doesnt mean its not relevant now. I think thats a big thing that were able to show, is that theres still those conflicts and theres still things we can bring out of west side story and show. Stephen sondheim i believe is the only surviving original member of the production, he gives you his blessing, his support. Whats it like to be working with him unbelievable to be working with stephen sondheim. Even when he cant be in rehearsals, hes facetiming in hes briefed on every change that we do, anything different from the original has to go through him. He seems to love what were doing. Are there jitters we were laughing about it. First of all, we made you get up early on your big debut night. Let me recommend a nap or dont have a big lunch do you feel jittery . Youve done the performance many, many times. In previews. Previews.
