it is time to put trump in a bull's eye. and overnight with the president's permission, his doctor is addressing concerns about his health. overnight president biden's personal doctor confirming that a neurologist who specializes in parkinson's saw the president as part of his physical exams, the president's doctor saying in a letter that the neurologist, d. kevin kenard has exam anyoned president biden for each of his annual exams. adding the president has not seen an neurologist outside of his annual physical. all of it following a tense white house briefing. >> has the president been treated for parkinson's? no. is he being treated for parkinson's. no, he's not. is he taking medication for parkinson's no. >> reporter: the administration under pressure to explain why he visited the white house eight times in eight months, saying he held, quote, regular neurology clinics at the white house medical clinic in support of thousands of active duty military staff assigned there. it comes as president biden is

trying to put an end to the post-debate drama, calling in to msnbc's "morning joe" and issuing a challenge to those who say he should drop out. >> i'm getting so frustrated by -- any of these guys don't think i should run, run against me. announce for president. challenge me at the convention. >> reporter: the president late monday also calling into a meeting of the black caucus that's still supporting him like other key house democrats, including alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> joe biden is our nominee. he is not leaving this race. he is in this race, and i support him. >> reporter: so far 9 congressional democrats called on the president to leave the race. >> i think he should step aside. i think it's become clear that he's not the person to carry the democratic message. >> reporter: former@president trump telling sean hannity by phone, he believes president biden will stay in the race. >> he's got an ego and he doesn't want to quit. >> reporter: mr. trump adding he

expects to face vice president kamala harris if biden drops out and he may wait on his own vice presidential announcement as the democrats sort out their path forward. >> we wanted to see what they're doing, to be honest. >> reporter: and now back to that letter from the president's personal doctor. he reiterates during president biden's most recent neurological exam in february there were no findings consistent with any neurological disorder like a stroke, multiple sclerosis or parkinson's, savannah. >> peter, a big test for the president, a crucial moment hosting nato allies in washington. what do you expect from this summit? >> reporter: you're right. this is a crucial several days for the president where a lot of the focus will be on ukraine. at the nato meetings. but everything president biden himself says will be heavily scrutinized amid all his concerns about his age, his fitness. so does that make this another critical public test after that rough debate. also important for the president, reassuring those american allies, many of whom, as we said, are worried about a

second trump term. president biden will kick off the summit today and deliver remarks. then tomorrow he has a series of high-profile meetings. one of the most watched meetings this week will happen on thursday, two days from now, when president biden will hold his first solo news conference here in washington at the white house in exactly 20 months. savannah, this is a rare opportunity to demonstrate that he can handle a high-stakes, unscripted event. savannah? >> peter alexander, thank you. also this morning, russia is responding to growing outrage over deadly daytime missile attacks yesterday, which nearly destroyed a children's hospital in kyiv. the kremlin denied it targeted civilians. saying it forces attacked defense industry targets and aviation bases. it was russia's heaviest bombardment of kyiv in months with parts of the children's hospital reduced to rubble.

ukraine president zelenskyy said the barrage caused debris to fall on some patients during surgery. officials say at least 31 people were killed in those attacks, more than 150 hurt. the u.n. condemned the action with a security council scheduling a meeting about the attacks today. 13 minutes after the hour. we have craig joining us. good morning. >> savannah, hoda, good morning. good morning to you as well. a new mechanical issue in the skies is making headlines once again this morning after a united airlines flight lost a tire during takeoff from l.a.x. tom costello covers aviation for us. tom, good morning to you. >> yeah. good morning, craig. so this is the second time in four months this happened. with a united plane. no injuries. at least one passenger we talked to tells us the united crew informed and prepared passengers well for a safe landing in denver. both united and the faa are looking into how that tire fell off the landing gear.

oversight and scrutiny of united's maintenance operations following a string of incidents on its jets, including a united flight headed to san francisco from sydney, forced to turn around mid flight after fluid was seen spewing out from the right landing gear. another united jet sliding off a wet runway in houston as it trained turning on to a taxi way. >> see the trucks en route. >> reporter: and there was also this march incident in san francisco. >> the last departure lost a wheel on departure, so we will have to shut the runway down. >> reporter: a united triple 7 headed to japan lost one of six tires from its main gear assembly as it took off. the tire landed in a parking lot, damaging several parked cars and the fence. fortunately passengers were often inconvenienced. all of the flights, including monday's landed safely. >> you know, machinery breaks even though you do your best to keep things up. i still consider flying in the u.s. to be a very safe thing.

>> by the way, this was one of eight tires on the primary landing gear on the 757. an important note here, while all of these incidents involved boeing planes, airlines are responsible for maintaining their planes. some of which can be 10, 15, 20 years old and even older, craig. >> that was out at l.a.x. let's talk about back here on the east coast, tom. we're hearing about yet another potential close call. what more can you stel us about this one? >> yeah. this was an american airlines regional jet coming in for a landing into syracuse. and the pilot heard the tower clearing another plane to take off from that same runway. so the pilot radioed the tower which then ordered the landing plane to go around. some ground video is also out there. we're watching it closely. >> all right. senior correspondent tom costello. tom, thank you. much more to get to including the exciting news from the san diego zoo this morning. we're getting our first look at the new pair of jiend pandas who just recently arrived there. you saw them there.

>> i'm having real difficulty with the state's position that they want to show that as a producer he didn't follow guidelines and, therefore, as an actor, mr. baldwin did all these things wrong, resulting in the death of halyna hutchins. >> by excluding that evidence, baldwin as the producer, baldwin, as the actor, is only responsible for what baldwin himself did when he handled the firearm. >> reporter: also excluded by the judge, portions of these videos obtained by investigators which prosecutors say show baldwin rushing crew members onset. >> one more, one more, one more. i forgot. right away. >> reporter: but the judge ruled in favor of the prosecution, by saying they can show autopsy photos of hutchens and video of moments after the fatal shooting. the stage is now nearly set for what is expected to be an eight-day trial. today's task at hand, selecting a jury of 12. if baldwin is found guilty, he could face up to 18 months in

jail. while it is still not known if he'll take the stand in his own defense, in the three years from the tragedy, baldwin hasn't shied away from speaking about the incident, giving multiple interviews in which he repeatedly denied any wrong doing. >> i would never point a gun and pull the trigger, never. >> reporter: legal experts say putting the actor turned defendant on the stand now could give prosecutors a chance to turn his own words against him. >> in all likelihood, baldwin will not testify. the risk is simply too great and it usually outweighs any benefits of putting the client on the stand. >> reporter: that jury will be made up of 12 people, plus an expected four alternates. jury selection should be wrapped up in a day and we are expecting opening statements tomorrow. back to you. >> all right, chloe, thank you very much. that's the alex baldwin trial. meanwhile, it's been one week since the highly publicized karen read trial. in massachusetts, the murder trial. that trial ending with a judge declaring a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict.

expressing the jury had a firm 12-0 agreement that read was not guilty of both the second-degree murder charge against her and leaving the scene of a collision, causing injury or death. according to the documents, a juror directly contacted one of read's attorneys after the mistrial and was emphatic that the second-degree murder was off the table with the jury. the high-stakes jury deliberations lasted five days, following the nine-week trial. prosecutors argued the 44-year-old read backed her suv into boyfriend and boston police officer john o'keefe in 2022 after a night of drinking, leaving him to die in the snow outside the home of a fellow police officer. >> the defendant drove her vehicle in reverse at 24.2 miles per hour for 62.5 feet. >> reporter: while the defense argued read was part of a cover-up by police. >> conflicts of interest, it doesn't matter. just look the other way. >> reporter: among the 74 witnesses that took the stand, the lead investigator who publicly admitted to sending

closer look. hey, brian. >> good morning, hey, guys. a little buzz on social media on this one. sam's club is offering new perks as well, but this morning consumers who are already paying to belong to the club are unhappy the wholesaler is changing one of its major benefits. for some members of sam's club, retail wholesaler, the days of free shipping are numbered. starting august 19th, sam's club plus membership, a subscription that runs over $100 a year will will only qualify for free shipping on orders of $50 or more. the wholesaler facing backlash from customers online. one user writing, this will make it hard for me to keep my membership. while others say they may take their business to a competitor. sam's club says these are designed to simplify the experience in fees for same day delivery and shipping and also provide better access to the items our members buy the most.

>> a customer having to reach that threshold now really changes the game in a consumer's mind whether they're going to continue with sam's club or not. it would not surprise me if they lost some members over this. >> reporter: sam's club is just the latest retailer to increase free shipping minimums in recent years as companies are squeezed by high operating costs. in 2023, amazon increased their free shipping threshold by $10 for nonmembers. and they're not alone. 19% of retailers increased the average free shipping last year minimum, ranging from 5 to $200. >> want to save money? buy in bulk. >> reporter: the delivery controversy comes as young shoppers are flooding big box wholesalers like sam's club and costco. >> let's go bulk shopping together. >> reporter: sam's club says gen z shoppers are the fastest growing demographics at their stores. membership for shoppers 27 and younger increased 63% over the past few years. and gen z and millennials represent a quarter of club members.

>> i feel like you're not grown grown until you start shopping at stores. the younger generations attracted to the lower prices of food as high prices frustrate consumers of all ages. while prices may be cheaper, the costs could still be high. >> can you store all of that stuff in your house? can you eat all of that food? there can be a lot of waste if you are not shopping wisely. >> all right. so, brian, if you are worried about these extra -- not covering shipping, is there any way you could save on shipping? another way? >> patience could go a long way. if you are talking about bulk items, save it in your cart a little longer and reduce your trips, you could hit that $50 threshold easier. when you do hit that threshold, hopefully it will be faster. sam's club says, yes, it will be free same day delivery on those orders, which used to cost about $8. >> and free curbside pickups, too. >> every curb side pickup if you can pick up. >> what is it called, bopuis. >> buy online and pick up in store.

>> reporter: with a few drops of blood or some saliva, these companies say they'll detect your biological age, the age of your body's cells. >> take a sample, send it in. >> reporter: the billion dollar business of anti-ageing supplements and research is gaining popularity thanks to our obsession with remaining forever young. >> i am a modern day explorer searching for the fountain of youth. >> reporter: and it's getting more attention thanks to people like millionaire brian johnson, who says he's spending those millions in a quest to be 18 again. to find out my biological age, i took three tests. they measure dna bio markers. >> this one was real easy. >> reporter: and analyzing moll yules in the bloodstream. >> it's not fun. oh, it hurts. definitely hurts. >> reporter: prices range from $250 to $350 per test. weeks later, i had my results. according to one test, i was 42, three years younger than my real age.

another, 45 and 6 months, practically spot on. a third placed me at 49, four years older. what to make of it all? we asked dr. eric verdon on ageing where the motto is live better longer. what should i make of the results? how seriously should i take them? >> you should take them with a grain of salt. >> reporter: he has tried practically every test on the market. >> you're 67 chronologically. what is the range of results you got when you took these tests? >> well, 66 to 25. >> reporter: 25? >> yes. i love that test. it was a study just published showing that if you measure your clock at different times of the day over 24 hours, it changes by 5 years. >> reporter: then a curveball. we wanted to see if the tests were accurate without inputting the real age of the user. >> here we go. >> reporter: so our 33-year-old producer took the same three tests but said she was 50 years old. for our producer, one of the tests said her overall

biological age was 29, which is younger than your chronological age. good news. but then it said her systems ages for her brain 54 years old. 51 years old for the liver. what gives? >> we have seen these types of numbers in our studies. it just reflects the imperfection of the tool. >> reporter: the lead scientist behind that test says the results may have been skewed because the user's chronological age is factored in. >> it will influence the ages because it is one of the factors that's put into the algorithm. >> should this test be regarded as one and done or do you regard multiple times? >> iterative. you should take it multiple times. >> reporter: experts agree when you make lifestyle modifications, then retest. but the high cost puts these tests out of range for many. and that's before buying the supplements marketed to users promising to improve their health and slow ageing. >> some people might be

skeptical and think it's profit driven. what do you say to that? >> we think these products the supplements really work. so they're not just some sort of money grab. but we're committed to testing them in humans to make sure that that's really true. >> dr. vernon says supplements alone aren't the solution to slowing ageing. he recommends five things, social interaction. at least 25 minutes of walking a day. quality sleep. nutricius food, including 8 to 12 hours of fasting between dinner and your next meal. and lowering stress. >> most people assume that it's genetics. it turns out that latest studies show exactly the opposite. that the environment and your lifestyle is the major determinant of how well you age. so the power of this for me is that it's on you, it's on me, how well we are going to age. >> well there is good news. we can control some of that. we reached out totally health and gl-icon age. their tests are based on extensive research.

tally health said les than 12 months f 2% of their users reduced their age by two years. the test should not be used as a diagnostic tool. review the results with all your tests with the doctor and all three companies say their products are ready for the market and provide useful health information for consumers. so get all -- disclaimers out of the way. >> what did you think? all close to your own. >> close. i didn't like the one that said i was 49. but i thought it was interesting. it was hard to do the blood test. i'll tell you that. that's not one i think most consumers want to do multiple times. but the cheek swab is easy enough. the spit test is easy snuff. it's expensive to take it multiple times. >> for what? what are we doing this for? >> the fact that you give them your age. seems like you're giving the answer to the test. >> that's part of the reason we threw that curveball. wanted to see what happens. it is a factor and they need a baseline and used in their algorithms. it is interesting to know this information. for example, my liver, my

systems age was 54. >> weekend in vegas? >> hi liver was just on uncle al's smucker's jar. >> congratulations. it's your birthday. 101? >> you mentioned the cost of the test, the cost of the cost of t supplements as well. full disclosure, we take the alcium. >> who is we? >> you and carson. >> we're sentee yum silver. >> nice if kirkland made them. >> kirkland coming one a -- >> i hope so. we need it. i really rather die 75 happy than deal with any of this stuff and live to be 100. >> okay. what if you could die at 100 and be really healthy and happy. >> it's so much work. we're chasing age. we do so much to turn the clock back. >> i know. >> you have so much to live for. you have all those kids. >> yeah. they'll be fine. they'll be fine. >> let's go over to mr. roker. >> ageless. he is ageless. >> this is a longer discussion. >> yes. >> possibly over cocktails. >> there's a sucker born every
