george: and good morning, i'm george spencer for "nbc10@issue." today, we begin with a call to lend a hand, a push for people in our area with big hearts who are willing to lend a hand to children and teens is taking on new urgency. right now, the city has more than 5,000 children in foster care, but the network of foster parents needs backup. i recently talked to advocates who are casting a wide net for new support. kimberly ali: hi, i'm good, how are you doing? george: for kimberly ali, these office hallways are the frontlines of her department's newest battle, the battle to recruit a new generation of foster parents. kimberly: we just need the help. we need the help, our young people need the help. george: ali's team is responsible for every step in the foster care process for 5,000 plus philly kids. the work has changed dramatically in recent years. after the child sex abuse case of jerry sandusky, state laws were tightened and the number of calls to ali's child abuse hotline sky rocketed. kimberly: we used to have about 21,000 calls to our ho

george has had a bunch. george: i love 'em. heather: they're both great and have very different flavors, which is great 'cause they can be incremental purchases. one person likes one, they're more apt to pick up the other. louie: i'm actually impressed with the quality of the salsa. it tastes authentic. adelo: so we got an order? heather: yeah. and i think the la market is probably the best place to start. adelo: great. thank you so much for this opportunity. lemonis: not only was adelo a great listener, not only did he create a connection with the buyer, he knew exactly the right things to say. he did a great job. and i think that, if you can nail sam's club, the sky's the limit. heather: thank you for coming to see us today. lemonis: thank you very much. we're looking forward to it. we're excited. louie: adelo. lemonis: george and i will be at the first store launch. when i first met adelo, he lacked the polish and the structure and the discipline it takes to run a good business. and now he understands that the details matter

we will learn who george mason was and why we remember george mason today. why don't we step inside? we are stepping into the central path of the mansion, which is where visitors would have come during george mason's lifetime. this space is decorative and beautiful, again meant to show off that george mason belonged to the higher level in society. be the only space some visitors ever saw. some might be asked to wait here , probablymanservant an enslaved person, went to see if whoever you had come to visit was available. you waited in this space. visitors who were deemed worthy invited to the public spaces on the right-hand side of the hall. friends, close business associates, members of the family, they would have been in the private side of the house, and this part of the house would not have been seen by many people outside of the mason family. let's start with where george mason would have been at this time of day, about 10:00 in the morning. the space we're walking into now, george mason's office, was also a multifunctional room, lifetime itng his was al

george? >> we'll be looking ahead to it. thank you. we'll stay in touch. >>> i want to tell you about march 14th as well. the second annual, my freedom day. cnn is partnering with people around the world for a stude student-led day of action. we have been asking people what freedom means to them. this is what it means to olympic figure skater, nathan chen. >> freedom is being who you are and say what you like and truly be yourself. >> what does freedom mean to you? you can share your story. use #myfreedomday. we will see that. s still ahead here on news room, movie goers around the room are filling theaters to see the movie, "black panther." why it's about more than a superhero. of de pere, wisconsin. his life is... pretty comfortable. rick blomquist thought he had comfort all figured out. but then, he laid on a serta and realized his life was only just sorta comfortable. i've been living a lie. the new serta icomfort hybrid mattress. not just sorta comfortable, serta comfortable. purchase an icomfort mattress and get a free boxspring

my let's introduce our guests now in london we have george graham director of humanitarian policy at save the children in birmingham in the center of the u.k. we have preached kill his shadow minister of international development welcome to you both george let me start with you because it is your report that we're using to launch a conversation into this area and there's a certain inevitability about what you point out save the children says that children are being affected by conflict it was ever thus wasn't it. certainly true that children have been affected by conflict for as long as conflict has been a thing that happens but what we've seen in the last twenty five years is a really significant increase in the numbers of children living in conflict zones so by three quarters there's been an increase since the early ninety's and looking at the u.n. data there are some really disturbing trends so three times as many children are reportedly being killed or maimed that is disabled or injured severely during conflict and astonishing fifteen times more than fifteen times more incidents

. >> exactly, george. unfortunately it's the reality now that police departments have to practice this and they do, indeed, practice extensively for it. looks to me like the appropriate response, as was said before, multiple police agencies involved. they now practice that coordination. it's very important that they're all talking the same language all on the same radio frequency, that sort of thing. >> ray, our affiliate, wplg in south florida is now reporting that the shooter is in custody. we have not confirmed that ourselves but that is being reported in south florida by wplg. and ray, that would explain why we're not seeing a lot of hectic activity. >> right. things look fairly calm. obviously if he were not in custody there would be a lot of concern about his ability to shoot out a window and shoot from a great distance. it looks like things are under control and obviously that's good news. again, i think the training and the practice that police departments do paid off in this situation. this, by al

. >> exclusive george clooney's new confessions about his babies and amal. >> plus -- do we want to call this out. >> john cena gets candid. >> that was an extreme low. >> are they calling off the wedding. >> then -- >> use your image tags. >> the fifty shade stars give their best ideas. >> plus -- >> i'm a homebody. >> inside jen and justin's mansion and jason bateman on his game nights with friends. >> jennifer aniston? >> this is "entertainment tonight." >> nicole egg gert sits down with "e.t." after she filed a police report against scott baio accusing him of sexual abusing her. >> nicole said it happened when she was a teen. >> baio maintains his innocence. >> today nicole told me her side of the zbloir what did you tell the police? >> i told the police everything. >> how long was that interview? >> we were with the police about two hours. >> what did scott do? >> scott began molesting me at 14 years old. >> physically. >> physically. >> how old was he at the time? >> he's mid 20s at this point. always using elvis and priscilla as an example. >> he would tell you it's okay your age

. >> indeed, george. we've heard from hezbollah and iran and from syria, all saying that the downing of this israeli f-16 yesterday is a game changer. that the old equations are being revised. this is the first time since, at best the early 1980s, during the israeli invasion of lebanon in 1982 that syria has managed to, it appears, shoot down an israeli aircraft, an f-16, a very sophisticated aircraft. and therefore, certainly, this is a major change. now the question is, where does it go from here? the major allies of the syrian government, russia, iran, and hezbollah, have been very busy in recent years trying to counter the anti-regime forces in syria, as well as isis. that seems to be, they now have the upper hand, and the question is, are they willing and ready to start focusing more on syria's long-running confrontation with israel? it appears that, even though yesterday at this time things were looking very tense, it's calming down a bit. but really, what we're looking at is the post-isis reality i

good morning to you, george. using data from smart thermometers, the health tech company has been tracking the spread of it since january until now and you can see the map grows red to illustrate how many are sick, up 23% from last week to this week alone. the data suggests more than 16 million people, or 5% of the population, might be infected. this morning, health officials confirm several more child flu deaths across the united states. including 15-year-old kira molina of georgia. >> on january 30th at 7:07 a.m., ms. molina succumbed to liver failure due to the flu. >> reporter: and 5-year-old eli snook died due to complications from the virus. he had been experiencing flu-like symptoms for two weeks, even briefly returning to school before taking a turn for the worse. >> school called me and said that he had 101-degree fever. >> reporter: cases are also being reported in new jersey. a 4-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy in california both now confirmed to have died from the flu. this, as doctors in clinics

now back home, george is still very poorly. his belly held together with metal staples, and the pellets still lodged in his side. so, does helen have any idea who shot her cat? maybe someone got given a new toy for christmas, saw him and shot him. but the fact that the vets have said it was close—range is... i mean it's heartbreaking enough, but to hear that made me feel physically sick, that somebody got that close to him. yes, it's been the worst probably two weeks of my life. it's been absolutely horrendous, notjust knowing if he was going to make it or not. in the forest of dean, i've come to meet a cat coming to terms with life—changing injuries. lily was shot last september, just a few streets from home. the pellet missed her heart by millimetres, but she lost her leg. these are the pellets? how did you feel about what happened ? that a large piece, yeah. that was in my cat. can't believe that someone would actually physically do it. actually locally, as well. you know, attack someone else's pet. like lily allen georg

george? >> ian lee live for us. so, israeli concerns about iran inside syria along the border there. now, let's bring in cnn international correspondent ben wedemen to give background here. a little context on this. the israeli military has been quite active for a long time on its border with syria. what more are you hearing? >> well, what we're hearing is that in fact a little while ago, there was a second wave of israeli air strikes in the damascus area. we don't know at this point what the targets were, but certainly for the past few years, there have been regular israeli air strikes on targets in syria. oftentimes those targets, even though the israelis are very coy about it and don't confirm or deny reports of air strikes within syrian territory. by the focus has been on armed shipments from syrian into two hezbollah in lebanon. this time they have been quite honest and open. they're talking about iranian and syrian targets that they are striking. now, what's interesting, in march of las

their grandmother had to be then the mistress of george ii, george iii's grandmother. so, this is the way things work in a small society like england. so, the howell brothers have the job of trying to win this war. general howell supported by his brother has won the battles around new york. he's captured this excellent harbor. he's driven washington out. so, it looks like new york, or at least this part of new york, is now out of the game. now, general howell is proceeding to roll out new jersey. >> now, just a quick question. what were their troops, the differences between how many troops and how well off they were? >> right, right. well, during the battles of new york, washington has 19,000 troops, most of them are militia. most of them have never fought before. the british have 32,000. british and also heshams described as mercenaries which isn't quite right. these were mercenaries who served their princes. they were small german principals. they would contract to have their armies fight in wars of other countries. if you were a hesham soldier, you signed up, you fo

unlike woodrow wilson, george washington really did keep us out of war. at considerable costs to his short-term popularity and peace of mind. but of course he supplied positive leadership as well, in crushing the whiskey rebellion of 1794, a violent anti-tax protest by pennsylvania farmers, the president put all of his accumulated prestige behind the principle that in a republic, dissatisfied minorities can protest peacefully but they cannot take arms against even the most unpopular official acts. finally, in his famous and often misunderstood farewell address, washington left behind a timeless warning about the excesses of political parties, one which rings especially true in this age of dark money, spin doctors and focus groups. listen to washington's words. the alternate domestic nation of one faction over another sharpened by the spirit of revenge is itself a frightful despotism, and opens the door to corruption which finds a facilitated access through the channels of party passions. thus the policy and the will of one country subjected to the policy

search warrants and go into the court and getting permission to want to go back to george george you just wonder woman and i just want to put that to you so if we're leaving it to the discretion of big internet companies and the u.s. government both of whom let's be honest of let us down when it comes to privacy and telling the truth in the past can we trust. i mean i think my fellow debater it's raising generally significant points about when it's appropriate for law enforcement to be able to access information but i think there are there of very large questions going forward in that the internet offers possibilities for snooping on virtually every single aspect of anybody's interaction with any other individual on the planet and any decision that essentially opens the floodgates into a sort of free for all why governments on the basis of the idea that they're doing something worthwhile can look at anything they want i think apologize george you're going to have to run if you're afraid we're out of time i wish we could go longer but apologies political activist george barda poor vio

george washington formally asked him to be secretary of state. he was in france at the time but he agreed. the first was in new york and then it moved to philadelphia in 1790. it was there for about 10 years until all of the federal offices moved back to washington dc. the department of state is very small but they had -- there was no home for them until 1819 when a brick structure was built flanking the white house. that was the home of the department of state for a number of years. john quincy adams was the first secretary to occupy that space. sewardt was william right after the civil war. it was determined it was too small. they needed a bigger building. that building was demolished and the building put in its place is old executive office building, but in 1875 it was the new executive office building. it remained there until it was determined once again that it was too small, mostly because of world war two and we realized we needed not only embassies but we needed more protection for american citizens and so it was determined that the foggy

george and harriet owned the house during the civil war battle of lynchburg. lynchburg was very important to the confederacy. it was a transportation center, a manufacturing center, it was a hospital center, it was a pow camp for union soldiers, and by 1864 general ulysses s. grant decided it would be good to take seize it but for a day, take it out of the war effort. major general david hunter to march upon lynchburg and attack it. major hunter marched down the lynchburg/salem turnpike and met his first resistance at the quaker meeting house which is about a mile up the road. after that first days battle he rode over to sandusky and commandeered the house to serve as his headquarters. generals like to sleep in bed and on couches rather than on the ground. this house became their headquarters. the hutter family were made prisoners in the house. try to imagine an army camped all around this house. in this house are dozens of officers and men. they are taking over the house, they are taking things from the house, they are eating all the food in the house, they a

i thought we were buddies. >> who would, george? >> yeah. >> george and amal haven't been seen in public together for three months no doubt busy with their kids. the 56-year-old dad talks more about family life with david letterman. here's what he told us? >> how do you feel father hood changed you. >> made me much older. he's a thug. he sits there and eats and she's very elegant and looks like amal thank god. >> those kids have some pretty good genetics. let's shift gears. scott baio versus nicole eggert. baio continues to strongly deny any underage sexual abuse with his charl and charge co-star. "e.t." caught up with scotto day in new york. >> what's your message to nicole? >> stop. just stop. other people are involved. you just can't say anything about anybody any time you want. it's not fair. it's hurtful. >> scott baio was doubling down and firing back as his former charles in charge co-star. she is claiming they had sex when she was under 18 years old. >> scott is denying your allegations. do you have any comments? >> he can d

those were george's words. and 50 years later, according to mckinney, the wish bone was serving up over a thousand chickens a week, somewhere between 50,000 and 70,000 a year. serving up all that food, of course, requires a pretty big team. george and peggy had four children, and every one of them, every one of them put in time at the lucky wish bone. patricia brown heller is one of those children. she's the oldest the fr. she tells the story about her involvement working in the restaurant. she says she pretty much cut her teeth in the restaurant. she was the fastest peeler and potato slicer at the wish bone. she says on the order of 200 pounds a day. she was working in the family's restaurant, again, cutting those potatoes, peeling them every morning, cutting them every morning. pat decided that the restaurant was not going to be her career, and decided to go another route. she was the long time state director for the former senator murkowski, my father, senator frank murkowski. then when i came to the senate,

and george is close to getting another set of wheels. his nab ores, friends, family close to raising the money needed for a van that he could drive himself. while he acknowledges there is some irony falling from a tree and turning him into a woodworker,ing in could stop him from doing what he loves, and that is what it means to live a purpose driven life reminding us that no matter what we go through we can always turn that situation into something not only positive, but helpful and inspiring to others, that's legacy, that's what it is. way it lead, george. love it. >> positive. >> how inspiring is he? >> my buddy actually became paralyzed during snow cross, broke his back, and he goes around the worlds as a motivational speaker right now , you always have those examples of people you know in life that continues on and help so many people. >> great story. thank you shall meisha. appreciate. >> speaking of inspiring, up next, inspiring children to read. >> yes, i spent some time with area students this morning, the little ones and i part

and georg with her. name didn't ask pitts odes film avoids concrete references to today in favor of painting the oppressive emotional landscape of the exiled and emphasising the universal nature of their stories during the shoot the clearing of a refugee camp in color was making headlines. and it was unbelievably affecting and on our first day of shooting at our natural it all looks on the trams running and someone said the cleansing has begun and the sound of a helicopter is it all fitted its course and its hoops aunt past. the scenes in which georg cautiously attempts to befriend a refugee child are particularly moving. and. i. guess. we've just seen him in transit and french work cos he is also it another. competition film so perhaps not surprising that he's also germany's european shooting star even though he's already worked with a number of top international directors. broke no it's true he said he's the one he's the best actor i've ever seen. according to transfer of skill that's what director hun

here we are with george h.w. bush. and what we have for george h.w. bush is from the george bush presidential library and museum are a pair of custom cowboy boots which were made for him. they were given to him by the secret service in 2000 and what's unique about them is they have golf cleats on the bottom of them. what most people may not realize that his father and his grandfather were both the head of the united states golf association so golf has been a big thing in his life for a lot of his life. but i think the mixing of the golf cleats and the cowboy boots is a very texas thing. moving on to bill clinton, for clinton what we have is a pair of his running shoes made by nike. they are a size 13. and they have the presidential logo on the tongue. these are on loan to us from the william jefferson clinton presidential library in little rock, arkansas. bill clinton was known for running eight-minute miles which is pretty good, pretty good pace. he would run at least three miles a day. additionally he, when he was out running around washington, d.c.

george is outside that school. good morning to you, george. >> good morning, guys. that is the school right behind me, marjory stoneman douglas high school, huge school, ten building, more than 3,000 students and if you ask people why did you move to parkland, they say it is for that school. one of the top in the state. parkland voted consistently one of the safest communities in ameri america until today. 17 killed. 15 injured and the shooter, nikolas cruz, is in custody, the 18th school shooting already this year. it is just mid-february. we'll hear from students inside that school and the heroes who helped save the lives and start with victor oquendo. he's covered south florida for many years. this community hit so hard. >> reporter: south florida has never seen anything like this. marjory stoneman douglas high school will be closed for the rest of the week. some of these images might be disturbing. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: at 2 in the afternoon gunshots ring out in this south florida high school. terrified students hiding in classrooms during the gunman's ram

one of the protesters is george bratu. he has walked 450 kilometers guided by a companion, because he is blind. he is incensed at planned new laws that could shield politicians and civil servants from prosecution for corruption. george: we have to eliminate this problem of corruption, it's eating us up alive. our future, our children's future is at stake. what should i do? leave the country? our ancestors fought, hungry and barefoot -- they gave their lives for freedom. now we have freedom, but what do we do with it? spit on it. maria: we are sick and tired of the appalling crassness and incompetence of this government. it's time we had officials who want to do something for the country -- for us, not just for themselves. reporter: the white-haired man here is the focus of the protesters' anger -- liviu dragnea, chairman of romania's social democrats, here on his way to be questioned by anti-graft prosecutors. dragnea was ineligible to become prime minister because he was convicted of election fraud and is accused of misus

kennedy george washington and thomas jefferson despite the fact that donald trump is the first modern president to not publicly release his taxes he is clearly the wealthiest u.s. president ever he inherited a large sum from his father and invested much of it in real estate resorts and casinos his total net worth is estimated to be three point one billion dollars and like donald trump j.f.k.'s wealth has a cause in that he died before he received his large inheritance from his father had he received the inheritance along with a wealth of his wife jacqueline it's estimated that j.f.k. had would have had a net worth of one billion dollars and coming in third is the birthday boy george washington who earned one of the largest u.s. salaries in fact he owned more than fifty thousand acres of land bringing his well . to roughly five hundred twenty five million dollars and the fourth wealthiest president is one of the key authors of the declaration of independence and the third president of the united states thomas jefferson who made most of his money through inheritance from his father in w

can you imagine more different human being than george h.w. bush and clinton and george w. bush and barack obama and barack obama and donald trump? it's just these are -- like mary poppins but with the cartoon up and reality down here it is two different worlds and somehow or another we do this. so no, i don't, i don't think it's fair to point in the same way i don't think it is fair to say that donald trump is soul reason for lack of civility again we're all in this. and if didn't work they wouldn't do it. if we penalized them for this, if the bases were not where they are, then it would be different. now, if you're in the democratic bases i suspect you know, you have secret meetings u now or maybe they're not so secret. [laughter] we have the dick tracy the radio you talk to each other. getting ready for, you know, just are to barricades and if you're on the right you think that people who criticize donald trump you know are hopeless and snobs. but truth is somewhere in between. and i think until we have a disposition of heart and mind where the in between space it's a li

"newsroom" starts right now. >>> looking ahead, democrats are pushing to release their own memo, a rebuttal, after days of fallout over a republican memo on the russia investigation. >> the republican document claims that the fbi abused its surveillance authority to target an adviser to donald trump's presidential campaign. cnn's boris sanchez has the very latest. >> reporter: word from several republican lawmakers, some of them on the house intelligence committee, contradicting the president outright over the weekend. the president was active on twitter saying that the nunes memo vindicates him and proves that the russia investigation is nothing more than a witch hunt. on saturday night the president also tweeted portions of a "wall street journal" editorial that supposed that there are political actors within the department of justice and the fbi. we also heard from donald trump jr. on saturday night who was on fox news saying that the release of the nunes memo is like sweet revenge

and bill clinton and george w. bush and george w. bush and barack obama and barack obama and donald trump? [laughter] it's just, these are different -- it's like mary poppins with the cartoon up here and the reality down here, you know? it's just two different worlds. and somehow or another we do this. so, no, i don't think it's fair to point -- in the same way i don't think it's fair to say trump is the sole reason for the lack of civility. i think that, again, we're all in this. and if it didn't work, they wouldn't do it. if we penalized them for this, if the bases were not where they are, then it would be different. now, if you're in the democratic base i suspect, you know, you have secret meetings now -- or maybe they're not so secret. [laughter] you probably have the dick tracy wrist radio, you know, you talk to each other. [laughter] getting ready for, you know, to mount the barricades. and if you're on the right, you think that people who criticize donald trump, you know, are hopeless elitist snobs. the truth is somewhere in b

, mcken zoo king, prime minister of canada, king george the 60 and kwin lqueen elizabeth. winston church hill. harry hop kins, among others. many times when they arrived here, they're in need of help or assistance and i think they were willing to sit in a place probably, far remove from the their comfort zone and i think it may have been quite refreshing for them to get away from everything happening below as well and see fdr for the man he was rather than the fact that he was the president of the united states. probably the one most people are familiar with is the infamous hot dog picnic, the weekend that the can he think and queen of england arrive in hyde park. the visit was historic. a first time that the monarch has been to the united states. and that visit was capped off with a picnic on the porch here at top cottage that hot dog picnic and when this place opened up to the public in 2001, the queen was still alive and sent remarks to be read at the opening and had nothing to do with the hot dogs or top cottage as a building. but she talked about his driving and the r
