Yeah. I think Francois Hollande has said it very well. Reporter inside the restaurant some tables are still set. Outside the flowers and the question why. Im here in paris. What . What if they use chemical weapon weapons. That is a risk. Latebreaking news again, the man whose body was brought out of the apartment yesterday the s the suspected ring leader of these massacres. He i identified by dna. T you. Here in new york Officials Say they will not be intimidated intimidated. Nbcs Stephanie Gosk is in times square. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, matt. The images of times square in this video arent new. Theyve been used before in other isis propaganda. This is about the message. It is a call for new recruits. Suicide bombers in the wake of the paris attacks. Once again, new york city is named a target. Just hours after isis released a new propaganda video using images of times square, Police Commissioner bill bratton stood in the square and held a late night press conference. We cannot be intimidated, and thats what terrorists seek to do. Reporter the nearly fiveminute isis video looks hastily put together, not nearly as polished as past propaganda, an apparent attempt to take advantage of the paris attacks. The video shows explosive belts and a car bomb. Nbc news has chosen not to show all of the images. Nearing the end, the child congratulates the attackers in france and vows more violence is to come. Followed by the images of times square, a direct warning to new york city, just days after a similar warning to washington, d. C. Homeland security reports that there are 900 active investigations into home grown extremists spanning every state in the country, the vast majority connected to isis. In just over a year in new york, the nypd says it has thwarted three plots inspired by the terror group including one in june. Two men allegedly researched how to construct Pressure Cooker bombs, while also scouting tourist locations in the city. In a statement, the nypd said it is not surprised that new york is, again, named a target. On monday the department announced a new strike force it calls the front line against terrorism. Part of a new plan to confront an evolving challenge. This city places great yorkers and the almost 60 million visitors who will come to the city. Reporter officials reiterate theres no credible threat here. New york is not the only place listed. So is the uk and france. Throughout this video, there is and eerie song playing in the background calling on followers never to retreat. Stephanie gosk in times square in new york. Thanks very much. John miller is the Deputy Commissioner of the new York City Police department. Good to see you. Good morning. In some footage the sentiment is not new, the footage is not new, and im assuming the nypd is constantly presuming a threat like this exists. Is the danger of the video out recently, might it be the nudge for anybody likeminded . Isis has these organized plots, which weve seen with the plane down, the beirut attack and now the paris thing, but their main bread and butter has been recruiting people online. The videos are part of the cheerleading section of that. Thats one audience. The flip side of that is fear is the focus of the terrorists mill. We operate on a high state of alert normally. Youve got the Police Commissioner and the mayor going to times square last night, standing out in the open saying, we will not be intimidated. Do not change your lives. But its the timing, john, of the video more than the content. In the wake of the paris attacks and the raids yesterday, that prove there were more terrorists, perhaps, waiting to carry out attacks, it doesnt seem farfetched. I think that one thing isis understands almost better than terrorism is marketing. What you saw last night was a commercial. Its meant to sell a product. The product is fear. Could it happen here . Of course, it could. But thats because it could happen anywhere. Are we better prepared here than most, if not all other places, the answer to that is yes. One of the unfortunate parts of a lot of the isis media, including the online magazine, dabiq, which includes an image that isis purports to say is a boom that brought down a russian jetliner. Is that credible . Secondly, why would they give that away . Obviously propaganda is key. It raises the question, can you accept their claim of responsibility . Lets say for the purposes of this discussion, they are. Savannah, what you mentioned is the dabiq magazine which came out yesterday. I am a regular consumer of dabiq magazine. This was a quickly put together issue. It is clear that when they had the attacks on friday, they put cobbled together an issue and they wanted to take as much as credit as much as possible. Our bomb squad, as well as the fbi, are looking at that diagram saying, what they have here, could it have done what they said . One of the things that was rads in saintdenis, john, a woman said she thought she saw one of the chief suspects the day before on the street, but they didnt dare tell police. They were too afraid. I know it sounds cliche, but the message to new yorkers and people in cities all across the country that weve seen, if you see something, say something. So thats not a problem were having. Weve had people identify sightings of people that looked like people in these photographs and suspects around new york. Mid mid flight the other day and met at the airport by the fbi. When we tell people that were on a heightened state, those calls increase. Happy to hear that. Nypd Deputy Commissioner, thank you so much, john miller. Well have more on this isis commissioner talked about, coming up. I want to have more right now on that photograph that savannah just talked about. What isis claims is the homemade passenger plane. Explosives, they say, that were hidden in a soda can. Tom costello is at Reagan National airport. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you. We still dont know if the photograph is legitimate. U. S. Intelligence sources tell us they have no reason to doubt its legitimate, but they also point out, as john miller did, this is isis. If it is legit, this opens a whole new host of security questions overseas and here at home. This morning aviation investigators around the world are concerned, scrambling to figure out if isis actually found a way to put a bomb in a soda can like this, smuggle it past egyptian security, and onto the russian jetliner, bringing it down and killing 224 people. Isis claims in its online propaganda magazine, this is it. Shockingly simple but true, a soda can, detonator and switch connected to a battery. It appears the can was cut open, packed with plastic explosives and put back together. Small but potentially enough to blow up a plane as this faa test shows. Could one can take it down . If its strategically placed and if the explosive is very efficient, yes. Reporter its still not clear how it got on board the russian plane, but security ex say here at home the tsa checkpoints and the explosive detection systems should have caught a similar device. The biggest potential security gap here, catering carts and cargo that are not all screened. The trusted Shipper Program for cargo and catering is designed to plug the hole, but experts warn theres no way it can be totally failsafe. If its an insider, somebody that had knowledge and put it in an area that could be close to a fuel line, or in some other area they knew it would be catastrophic, thats very troubling. Reporter its that Insider Threat that really has Security Experts concerned. And what many Security Pros are now calling for is more random checkpoints through the airport. Not only checking passengers but also airport workers constantly every day. If addition, they want to see every airport worker screened. As we reported last week, only about a handful, i mean, less than five airports, screen every airport worker every day. Guys, back to you. Tom costello at Reagan National airport. Tom, thanks. All of this is sparking a raging debate on capitol hill and the campaign trail, as well, over the Obama Administrations strategy for dealing both with isis and also the handling of Syrian Refugees. Nbc National Correspondent Peter Alexander is at the white house with this part of the story. Pete e good morning. Savannah, good morning. The french president is vowing to keep his commitment to take in 30,000 refugees over the next two years with security checks. White house Officials Say surely the u. S. Should be able to muster the same courage to take in 10,000, again rejecting the need for pause in the process. Announcer the United States of america, president barack obama. Reporter the president in the philippines and pushing back on the issue of Syrian Refugees. The idea that somehow they pose a more significant threat than all the tourists who pour into the United States every single day just doesnt jive with reality. Reporter on capitol hill, top Homeland Security officials privately brief senators on the latest intelligence from the paris attacks. Now heating up, the fierce debate over the administrations isis strategy. The president of the United States words matter. Reporter josh earnest blasting the president s paris response as aloof and cavalier. Spend just as much time focusing on the president s actions as you do his words. His words matter, josh. I have to stop you there. I will stop you there. Reporter also under fire, secretary of state john kerry after contrasting last weeks attack to the Charlie Hebdo to suggest a rationale for terrorists targeting the satirical magazine featuring prophet muhammad. It was a particularized, focused and legitimacy, in terms of not legitimacy, but a rationale that you could attach yourself to somehow and say, okay, theyre really angry because of this or that. Reporter the 2016 republicans are teeing off. Ted cruz challenging the president for dismissing his proposed ban on Syrian Muslim refugees. I would encourage you, mr. President , come back and insult me to my face. Lets have a debate on Syrian Refugees right now. Reporter donald trump accusing president obama of being dangerous. I think hes a threat to our country. Reporter and from jeb bush, a proposal that could make him the third president bush to send u. S. Ground troops to the middle east. America has had enough of empty words. Of declarations detached from reality. Of an administration with no strategy. Vote on a plan to toughen the screening process for Syrian Refugees. The white house already said it would veto that. They argue 18 to 24 months is long enough inskiftisting existing security screenings are already so tough in the country, less than 9 of Syrian Refugees who apply are allowed in. Matt and savannah . Peter alexander, thanks so much. Tensions reached a new level in minneapolis overnight between protesters and the police over the Fatal Shooting of a 24yearold black man.

Let us begin this half hour with more on the fight against isis. Their media is savvy is sophisticated with videos like the ones weve seen in recent days. Even magazines and a presence on social media. Keir simmons is in paris with that part of the story. Good morning to you. Matt, good morning. This is the isis online magazine. You were talking about it at the top of this show. One of the articles in here is entitled listen and obey. For years now, isis has been glorifying violence, and pretending the Islamic State is some kind of paradise. After the massacre in paris, isis launched an internet onslaught with fanatics speaking in french. After the airliner was downed, isis published another video advertising death. This latest propaganda video showing images of times square is the Islamic States sophisticated 24hour news operation at work once again. According to one report, isis puts out 900 pieces of propaganda a month, aiming to recruit new killers and suicide bombers. Here in a behindthescenesstyle video, fighters show viewers around their apartment, even the laptop where they edit their poisonous isis issues magazines in english, french, and arabic. It caters to a global audience. Reporter the magazine is modeled after al qaedas, but its more advanced. Online, they encourage similar young men without a purpose in life to come die for isis. And its not just men. Come be a jihadi bride, it says on the twitter and tumblr accounts, which appear to be owned by a young woman. Any girl who answers is moved on to instant messaging apps for privacy. 10 of western recruits are women. As for those who actually join up with isis, they say the operation is not as advertised. Complaints range from bad food to wife beating. But by then its too late. Intelligence officials believe isis may now be trying to put online western interests. Meanwhile the Anonymous Group of hackers say they will go online and talk down isis. Matt and savannah, the online war may just be beginning. Keir simmons in paris, thank you. Another aspect of the terror raids starting to get attention. A French Police dog was killed and hes being honored all around the world.

Nbc news learned that Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the alleged mastermind of the terror attacks, is dead. Well go to keir simmons in paris. This came from the french prosecutor this morning . Thats right, savannah. This is big news. The french prosecutor telling us that Abdelhamid Abaaoud was we knew that a man had been killed in those raids in saintdenis, in the area of paris, but we didnt know who he was. The french have been trying to a aidentify him since then. A woman died when she detonated a suicide vest. She was his sister. They were trying to figure out who the man that had died was. We were told by the french prosecutor it is him. This is important. He has been described as the mastermind by some, the linchpin by others. Whatever word you use, they believe he directed the massacre here in paris. Intelligence services thought that he was with Islamic State in syria, until very, very recently, when they got intelligence information, communications, we think, that suggested he was staying in that third floor apartment here in paris. Police. Fired. They were determined to get him. Now, they believe, that they have. Now, they will be attempting to figure out how it is possible a man so wanted before the attacks managed to get himself into the heart of europe and launch these attacks. At the same time, they will be working through the evidence in that apartment to see who he was connected with. It will be very, very valuable, the kind of intelligence they can gather, now that they know how important that raid was. And, of course, we heard from the french prosecutor previously that they think that that cell was preparing to launch another attack. This man was not finished yet. He was looking to try again. He assume paris again. The french moved in, and they now believe that they have killed him in the raids. Keir, we should mention the delay here coming because of the condition of the body. Police officials described it as being mangled, perhaps as a result of the explosions that took place in the apartment, or the massive number of rounds that you described being fired into the apartment. They wanted to be sure. They ended up looking at fingerprints on the body. They have now confirmed that this alleged mastermind is dead. Keir, thank you very much. Quite extraordinary, as keir mentioned, that this is somebody who apparently was able to get right back into the paris. This is someone who was the target of french air strikes in syria before the attacks in paris. Theres going to be a lot of questions going forward, of course. Well this is more than just a town.

The star says hes already paid up to 10 million in hush money, and more lawsuits may be in the future. I am, in fact, hiv positive. Reporter shortly after char Charlie Sheen opened up about his diagnosis, his father, martin sheen, spoke out, telling an audience in florida, i couldnt believe the level of courage i was witnessing and that it was my son. I hope this day is the first day of the rest of charlies life as a free man. It comes amid talk that sheen could face lawsuits over possibly exposing others to hiv, and new questions about the stars financial security. During the shows heyday, sheen was reportedly making around 2 million an episode for two and a half men. Hundreds of millions more through syndication. After sheen and the show famously parted ways in 2011 winning. Reporter sheen hit it big again thanks to anger management. Sheen was making an estimated 40 off the shows revenue, which brought in for him anywhere from 75 million to 200 million just for two seasons of the show. To matt, with five children and three exwives to support, that much money can only go so far. Its not great. Itll be great again, you know, if im a survivor. Ive been up, ive been down, rich and poor. Its another chapter in my life. Reporter the question now, will this latest chapter include new acting roles . Some Industry Experts say that studios may not see sheen as less of a risk than before. I think Charlie Sheen is more employable than he has been in years because he says hes been taking care of himself for four years, while hes known hes been living with hiv. Reporter while many in the Hollywood Community are expressing sympathy, at least one of sheens costars isnt supportive. Jenny mccarthy now speaking out. I feel like in playing a love interest, you would think that dont want to say, criminal issue, but i dont even know how to feel about that. He may be free but not necessarily debt free. Charlie sheen reportedly selling two of his Los Angeles Area homes. One estimated at 6 million and the other 9 9 million, raising more questions about how much of his fortune he has saved.

Oh. Now liking my song, huh . Can i just say that this is like i just wanted to hear you say that. Were not going to criticize this. We brought carson back from california to criticize it. Im leaving again tomorrow so i dont want to harp on it. It is an interesting call. Two you criticized me on now. On the heels of, we built this city, natalie, i dont know if youre allowed to pick the songs anymore. No, no, no, come on. Come on. We look forward to your 97 classic.

He is going to help us take some of the stress out of the Holiday Season. No wonder, hes going to get us plastered. Take two of those and call him in the morning. Exactly. First, lets go to natalie for the top stories. Good morning. We are starting with breaking news from paris, where prosecutors are confirming that the suspected ringleader of last weeks massacre is, in fact, dead. Keir simmons joins us from paris for the latest. Good morning. Natalie, good morning. This is big news. Abdelhamid abaaoud is now believed by the french prosecutor to have been killed in those raids yesterday. He was 29 years old. He is described as the mastermind, the linchpin, whatever word you use. He is the man that french authorities believe was behind the attack in paris. The massacre that killed 129 people. Yesterday, they raided that third floor apartment. Two people were killed. A woman and a man. They were not able to identify the man because his body was so badly damaged by the fire fight. They had to use fingerprint identification to establish that it is, they believe, abaaoud. It is a very, very important development. Not least because the french believe that terror cell was planning another attack in paris. At the same time, they will be stunned that he had managed to make his way here to the center of europe. Prior to that, natalie, the Intelligence Services believe he he perhaps planned this plot from there. Instead, it now appears he had managed to make his way right to this capital city of france and, himself, orchestrate those attacks. Abdelhamid abaaoud, french prosecutor says, they believe, killed yesterday in those raids. Another attack on paris foiled. Natalie . Keir simmons in paris for us, thank you. Meanwhile, were getting a look at newly released video from the paris attacks. It shows the scene inside a pizza restaurant, as dozens of shots are fired through the windows. A woman who had been shot in the wrist hustles inside. Customers and employees take cover while shattered glass flies around them. The video online also shows one head run to safety after the attackers weapon jammed. Five people outside the restaurant was killed. Everyone inside survived. The house is voting today on a republican plan to tighten the screening process for Syrian Refugees trying to resettle in the u. S. President obama in the philippines defended his position again today, that the u. S. Has a moral obligation to take in refugees. America has always been open to allowing people from wartorn countries who are subject to incredible hardship and repression and violence to find refuge in our country. The Obama Administration has vowed to veto any house legislation that puts up new leave it to the bicycleloving dutch to set the Guinness World record for the worlds longest twowheeler. More than 117 feet long. It uses aluminum to connect the front to the back. It has to be operated by two people. It works just fine. Riders have to avoid tight turns. Id like to see al commuting on that to work. As long as youre with me. Well work together. Natalie, thank you. Now, well talk about another story thats going to impact you. One moms heartbreaking story, bringing new attention to a push for paid parental leave. Thats right. Sheinelle jones has the story. Good morning. Good morning to you. Ambers infant son died on his first day of day care. For amber, the issue at hand isnt day care safety, but another larger concern faced by many new moms and dads. Reporter one woman is turning her catastrophe into a public crusade. Later today, shes getting help from the white house. In july, less than three hours after dropg him off at day care for the first time. Theres no words to describe the horror and just the disbelief. Reporter like many parents, amber was hesitant of handing her infant son over to the care of strangers at such a vulnerable age. When the child is that small, especially, in the infant stage, they almost feel like an extension of your body. Reporter amber says her employers policy of three months of paid family leave is generous compared to what Many Americans receive. Thats the problem. The United States is one of four countries in the world with no the others are swaziland, lesotho and papua new guinea. While parents working at netflix, amazon and google get paid leave, 87 of vie vat Sector Workers receive none whatsoever. Many of the countries had paid parental leave, not just for women, but for men, for decades. It certainly hasnt broken the bank. Businesses have not gone out of business. As a society, we should be encouraging women to stay in the work force, not doing everything we can to make it nearly impossible for them to have children and stay in the work force. Reporter the issue even making its way into the 2016 campaign. Youre opposed to any mandated paid maternity leave. Why . For the government to tell others how to do things, when the government hasnt gotten its basic house in order, is not only ineffective, but hypocritical. We need to recognize the incredible challenges that so many parents face, particularly working moms. Reporter as for the current residents of the white house, Michelle Obama was so touched by ambers tragic story, she sent a letter of condolence. Now, the Nations Highest Office is calling for change. Today, obamas Senior Adviser is teaming with spotify and announcing a push for states to legislate mandatory paid family leave, hoping to avoid future stress for families or even heartbreak. Amber shared her full story with the New York Times parenting column. Parents complain about this all the time. She was just saying she wants the option for more time. She wants her job protected. Shes a strong voice in this. Very strong. Heartbreaking story. Sheinelle, thank you very much. For more on her story and the discussion its sparked, head to today. Com. Get the conversation going.

Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne is back on the big screen, getting an awful lot of attention for a role in the danish girl, based on a true story. Redmayne plays a prominent artist in the 1920s who is transitioning into a woman named lili. My husband, can you get him . I cant. I need to hold my husband. I need him. Cant you just get him . Can you at least try . Im sorry. Eddie redmayne, welcome back. Good to see you. Lovely to see you. How have you been . Good. Wonderful. Spencer tracy, tom hanks, Eddie Redmayne. Do you know what the names may have in common . Whats that . Ill get to that later. Well let it simmer. This is an embarrassment of riches. Some actors go an entire career without getting one to die for juicy role, and you come off of playing Stephen Hawking to this role. Im a lucky man. The extraordinary thing was is i was first offered this part by tom hooper, when i was making another film. He gave me this script and said nothing about it. He said, just have a read. I read this amazing, beautiful love story. Unfortunately, it took several years to get made, but it was im glad you say that. This is a love story. At its base, this is, first and foremost, a love story. Itll get a lot of attention for some of the other elements of the love story. Real person back in the 1920s. This is a complicated character. Tell me about lili. Lili was born as an artist. She was living at a time in which there were no predecessors. There were no examples or vo vocabulary with which she could understand what she was going through. When she was living as a man, she was an artist. Her paintings were sort of restrictive and intense and versus gerda, her partners work, which was flamboyant, strong and vibrant. Really, it was about i always saw the paintings as a route in. It was as if she needed to shed some of that restriction to find who she was. I was thinking about you accepting your Academy Award last year, standing on the stage, knowing that you were in the process of bringing this other role to the screen. You must have been thinking to yourself, this is this glorious moment, and ive got another one. Ive got another one coming up that could land me back on a stage like this. I think whenever you what you said in the beginning, of the privilege of playing interesting people, our dream is to our dream, firstly, is employment. Paying the bills. Exactly. That doesnt always happen. Seriously. Then to get to play interesting people. Ive had my by playing Stephen Hawking, i thought i had my lot. The idea i got to play lili was a gift. When i was preparing to play lili, i met many women from the Trans Community who were generous and kind. Almost everyone would start the conversation going, there is no question i wont answer. The transparency and the need to educate me was, by opening their hearts, was amazing. I open the interview unfairly by saying spencer tracy, tom hanks and Eddie Redmayne. What they would have in common, the three names, is those would be the only three people who ever won best acting oscars back to back. Oh, my god. Sorry about that. It is something a lot of people are talking about already. Well, this fillm has been 15 years in the making. Our producer and writer have been lots of different directors and actors. Nicole kidman was attached to it at one point. Who was there when the film got its financing and got made was a gift. The fact its now making it to the big screen for us, all of us involved, because its a passion project, it means a great deal. If there is any good buzz, encourage people to see it. Thatd be great. To say youre on a roll would be an understatement. Thanks so much. Good to see you. You, too. The danish girl is in theaters in new york and Los Angeles November 27th. Nationwide on christmas day. Were pack at 8 40. The Holiday Season is almost here. Sometimes stressing. Well help you out with us. Dr. Mehmeh oz is here. This is timely, goes for the whole year. First, talk about how much we should be drinking optimally, the maximum amount, for women and men. Youre the women, over here. Im the guys over here. Men can drink about 14 drinks a week. It actually might still be healthy for you. Women get half of that. You dont metabolize the alcohol and it goes into your bloodstream. The maximum in a day is four shots for a man and three for the woman. If you get more, its binge drinking. Three a day. Seven a week. My wineglass might be more full. Regular beer, you get 12 ounces. Malt beers, because they have more alcohol content, eight. Wine is five ounces. Its not a bottle of wine. A serving size is five ounces. Hard alcohol is an ounce and a half. You can have, for women, seven of these in a week. Men, 14 of these in a week. Its a reasonable amount to have. If you do more than, for a women, three in a day, im concerned. Thats about health. But there are issues of addiction, obviously, that are raised. People think of alcoholism and then think of social drinking. There can be this middle ground you talk about, problem drinking. Looking at problem drinking, 26 million americans. Huge number. How do you know if its a problem drinker . If youre worried about your drinker. If youre a problem drinker, you have to make the lines of communication stay open. Tonight is iconic and which is why were doing the show today. Were asking everybody in america, the player players in addiction, which is the number one cause of accidental death in our country. Evening. We want the parents to talk to the young people. The Adult Children they have. Ask the question, how are you using alcohol or drugs to do that . Heres the favor. Everyone is going to post a picture of an empty plate, simple to do, signifying the meal is not about the food, its about the conversation. You want people to talk about addiction. It doesnt have to be these dramatic cases. If youre worried about it, its a conversation worth having. With the holidays, you have to talk to each other about it. The federal government is involved, celebrities, medical groups, faithbased organizations. The society we have has always been held together because we bond together and talk about stuff that matters. Lets not ignore that. We have a minute. Lets do the take aways here. Important issues. First off, you have to make sure you ask the host, whats in the drink . The punch. Right. Truly a problem because you dont know how much alcohol is in there. It changes how many you can have in an evening. You want to alternate alcohol with water. Avoid the hangovers in the morning. Hangovers are primely because your brain is shrivelled up like a walnut in the cocoon head of yours and the brain is bouncing around. Doesnt sound or feel good. Mixing alcohol with water allows you to slow down, which is why its impactful. Youre at parties to shake hands. Keep one empty all the time. The other can slowly drink. If youre not sure, write it down. Then youll know for sure. Writingmassier ier mess kwer towardier toward the end of the night. Will you take a picture with me at the end of the break . Absolutely.

She was preparing to go on the road to promote her new book, ready to start a new chapter in her life, when he learned odom had been found unconscious. That is where we started our conversation. Announcer now at 11 00, breaking news. Lamar odom is fighting for his life. Former nba star lamar odom found unconscious at a nevada brothel. ChloeKhloe Kardashian rushing to his bedside. Did you think, he might die . They told me he had four hours. It was a horrible call to get. Getting to the hospital and knowing hes in a coma, having to run these tests and make medical decisions, i its terrifying. You have to make risk and reward decisions. Theres an 80 chance if we do the operation, he might pass away, but also, if we dont do it, theres a 90 chance hell pass away. Just having to make these executive decisions is really it was definitely probably one of the most emotionally stressful times ever in my life. Reporter for two weeks, khloe stayed by lamars side at a las vegas hospital before doctors moved him to los angeles to start his long road to recovery. How is he doing . Hes okay. Every day is different. The great thing is, hes off of medical machines that will keep him alive. Whats the longterm prognosis for him . He is learning how to walk again and learning how, like, cognitive therapy and Speech Therapy. They think within a year and a half to two years, he might, you know, mentally, he might be fully recovered. They dont know. Reporter this all comes at what was supposed to be an exciting time for khloe, with the release of her new book, strong looks better naked, the story of her transformation to a healthier, happier life. A journey that started three years ago when she was you really talk about shedding the pounds is about shedding some of the emotional baggage that you were carrying around, as well. Right. For me, when i started going to the gym, it wasnt about, oh, im going to get skinny and i was to lose this weight. It was, i was having a hard time in my marriage, so i started going to the gym for really a stress reliever. Reporter when shes not at the gym, khloe is active and avoids mindless eating. The result, a 40pound weight loss, along with an increase in muscle mass. How often are you working out . What do you like to do . Well, typically, i work out five days a week. Its my healthy obsession. Reporter earlier this week, as khloe was making her physical transformation, she and the rest of her family were confronted with an unexpected emotional challenge. Were you planning on not being bruce any time soon . Thats possible, yeah. When he did finally say it to last to know and we find out on camera for the first time. I think like your emotions are real and raw, and i cant apologize for them. Im not lying, khloe. You were until we got it out of you. Did you handle it, do you think, the worst of your siblings . Probably vocally, verbally. Im so honest, im just so like aggressive with the way i talk. Im always the one to be the bad guy, which im also okay with. Probably i took it the hardest. Let me see your purse. Youre close to caitlyn now . Now that ive separated the two and we all know and understand whats going on, i love seeing how happy caitlyn is. Seeing how this is where her soul really feels like this is her best person. I love that. I love you.

This topping is cold butter, salt, brown sugar, flour and pecan. You can substitute other nuts if youd like. Mix it together. Well put it on top of the casserole. If youre not a nut person, you can leave this topping off and just do marshmallows. This is what it looks like when it comes out of the oven.

Well cut the calories from your favorite thanksgiving dishes in our 16 to 16 challenge. All that and more coming up now. Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take, with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today. Its thursday morning, november 19th, 2015. Im willie along with al, natalie and tamron. We begin again this morning in paris with major news about the alleged leader of the attacks last friday. Keir simmons is there in paris for us. Whats the latest . Abdelhamid abaaoud, this guy was a ruthless terrorist, a poster boy for isis. Hed post pictures of himself online with dead bodies in syria. He took a 13yearold relative, allegedly, with him to syria. He is the mastermind behind, the linchpin behind the series of terrorist attacks, including the massacre here in paris. It took the french authorities until today to confirm they had killed him. They had to use fingerprints to be sure because of the scale of that fire fight in the third floor apartment yesterday in the saintdenis area of paris. 5,000 rounds were fired. Its clear abaaoud did everything he could to try to not be taken alive. We know that he had bragged in the past about being able to get to europe, willie. Hes said in the isis magazine earlier this year, my name and picture was all over the news. Homeland and plan attacks against them, then leave safely. What is really, really going to worry the security and Intelligence Services, willie, is that if he did manage to do that in the past, it looks as if he managed to do it again, despite being a wanted man. How did this man travel to the capital of france and launch this attack, despite the fact it was known he was an isis fanatic and murderer . More questions in this investigation. Keir, thank you very much. New video from daily mail. Com. Video from cameras inside one of the cafes that was targeted in fridays attack. Its a difficult piece of video to watch. We dont show you the worst of it, but you get the idea. Isis also has released a nearly fiveminute long propaganda video that shows images of times square. They were not recent images. Theyve been used in previous videos. Bill de blasio saying no credible or specific threats to new york. Macys say extensive security will be in place for the parade. Millions of people will be watching around the world. Youll see more security around that parade a week from today. As keir brought up the point, whats become an ongoing concern here in this country and abroad, as well, is the syrian refugee crisis. Also, because he mentioned that abaaoud, the mastermind, had gotten into paris as a known mastermind of these kinds of attacks from syria, he had gotten into paris. New nbc news surveymonkey poll shows 56 of the American Public disapprove of allowing more Syrian Refugees here into this country. One of the terrorists, as we have known and talked about since friday, had a syrian sparked a lot of the backlash it it and the number of governors refusing Syrian Refugees refugees into their state has grown. Were hearing more and more about how this alleged attack was carried out and learning more about the details. There is a photo that has surfaced, as well. This is isis publishing in their own propaganda magazine. A soda can and a detonator. They claim its this kind of device, this homemade bomb, that took down that russian plane last month, killing 224 people. Its impossible to validate the photo, but it appears its a soda can, as tom costello reported earlier, that was cut in half, packed with plastic explosives, and put back together again. All Security Experts say, looking at that, those are the components, the detonator and the triggering mechanism, that would be components that could be capable of being a bomb. Checkpoints, explosive detection systems, could have caught a similar device. You check your bags, scan them through. The scanners at the parptairports would be able to detect explosives. However, what they cant detect, one of the big security gaps, if this is a soda can, the real concern is, people internally working at the airports, catering on those carts. If Something Like that could get through the system, thats the real concern now. I always say, when i come out of the baggage claim area, nobody is checking bags. You see people come up drivers coming in to get rides. They come right into airports and nobody is checking who these people are as theyre coming in to get their pickups. They could easily place something on a carousel. Thats always, for me, been an eyeopener. Looking at the last point of entrance or exit from the airport is right there, the baggage claim area. It scares me every night. Security experts all say you the terrorist only needs to get it right one time. Exactly. Thats what weve seen in paris, sadly, on friday, multiple times. They were able to. I hate to use the word, get it right, but thats what they did. It takes one. When you see the can, the catering and other avenues, going back to jeffs report, they had a box cutter, producer from nbc, got on a box cutter, knife. While the tsa says it would have been detected, its not 100 . We saw that yesterday in jeff rossens report. You see the cargo areas, also the catering, people who work at the airport. The missing we had the report last week on the number of employees whose badges are missing, 1,000, floating around somewhere for an individual to do dubious things with. How rudimentary these can be. If this brought down a plane. Its a soda can. 9 11 was box cutters. All it takes is having that device right near sort of the fuselage area. Once you create a crack in an man. Were going to change gears right now. This is interesting. We always like hearing about homes that are for sale, unique homes.

Theyre both really good. This one is really good. But i think this is the healthier one. Too sweet. Youre exactly right. Let me first say that traditional Sweet Potato Casserole is, for a cup, 350 calories. My version is only 160 for a full cup. Heres what i did. I got a little sneaky. I took half Sweet Potatoes and mashed it with half carrots. I didnt add any sweetening so i drove down the calories and carbs. Its still deliciously sweet. Marshmallows on top. Bright orange. Not a big difference . No. This is actually too sweet. This is absolutely delicious. Mix the carrots in. Thats the lesson. Theyre great. Next up we have pumpkin pie. Take two tastes. The original is 300 calories per slice. My healthy one is only 188. Which do you think is the healthy one . I think this one. I like this better. Maybe i can roll half as much crust . I need my crust. Theres a thin Graham Cracker crust. For the same calories, you can i took a Graham Cracker crust. All i did was reduced the sugar significantly and instead of what it calls for the condensed evaporated milk and i used the light unsweetened almond milk. Love the cream spinach. The fattening one, 240 calories. Mine is only 110. Its really tasty. Its light. I think its healthy. He mixed it up whoa, you rock this tastes he thought my healthy one was the fattening version. No kidding. Its so much creamier. I sauteed shallots and garlic and a big bag two bags of the baby spinach leaves and added light cream cheese. It gave it a velvety feel. Youll taste a boxed version of stuffing. As we go to break, you will tell us which is which. Guys, keep up the good work. Happy early thanksgiving. You can find the recipe on our web site at today.
