expected to go at least 50 miles to see their family over thanksgiving and that will certainly jam those roadways and in phaco, in some areas travel times about 80% above normal in the metro areas and here in california, congested roadways in the nation here in los angeles and san francisco as well and huge thanks to power house station kabc and live look over the roadways and see things are already busy but still they say if you can get on the road before 11:00 a.m. or wait till after 6:00 p.m., you'll beat the worst of it. there's good tuesday and gas prices about 30-cents lower than they were this time last year. here in california, she dropped an additional few cents overnight for that trip to have. >> thank you very much. a deal to free some of the

of gate soft and average strip amid deepening humanitarian crisis there. three of the hostages set short term orientation be released are americans, 3-year-old abigail moore idan expected to be among them. >> until we actually see abigail and other children come out of gaza. i really don't think i'll let myself really believe she's free. >> abigail's parents killed when hamas terrorists stormed on october 7 and in her father's arms when he was shot dead. her birthday is this friday. >> we all pray abigail will be home to celebrate her fourth birthday. >> the negotiations brokered by qatar, president biden was in constant contact with netanyahu. >> netanyahu making clear a temporary truce does not mean the war will stop. israel saying it'll continue the war until it eliminates hamas and brings all the hostages home. for weeks, families have been demanding the israeli government prioritize the return of hostages.

moran has more. >> good morning, michael. attacks by the iranian forced, iranen-backed forces in the middle east have not let up. 66 times now since the israel hamas war began, american troops have come under fire in iraq and syria. so overnight for the fourth time now, the u.s. hit back, the pentagon saying two facilities used by militants were targeted and it was the second time in 24 hours that u.s. forces had struck these iranian proxies after the group escalated its attacks and firing two close range ballistic missiles at the air base in western iraq and attack that injured as many as eight american service members. a1c30 gun ship was in the air above the base and spotted the attack and they quickly returned fire. all told roughly 70 u.s. personnel have been injured since these attacks began. it's a conflict that is slowly but surely heating up as iran tries to take advantage of hamas

war and attack the u.s. in the region and the real concern here obviously is that all this could escalate into a much bigger confrontation between iran and america in a region that's already at war and on the nice edge. >> terry, thank you. starting with jake sullivan. jake, thanks for joining us this morning. iran does not seem to be deterred. >> president biden said if iran proxy accomplish supra aural attacking and linked to one group called ketez hezbollah and strike bed i gun ship terry referred to and we'll continue to send a clear mesodamage to iran and the groups and if they continue toe attack us, we'll respond and continue to take every possible measure to protect the troops. >> are you confident the hostage

deal will be executed in >> you can never have full confidence until you see hostages back in the arms of their families. i'm very helpful there'll be a pause and these hostages will begin to be released and then i'm hopeful to build on the release of the hostages getting home until every last person being held by the terrorist group, hamas, gets home to their family 6789 >> what do we know about the american hostages being held and are they being released in >> nine u.s. citizens and one green card holder that are missing. we don't know for certain all ten are alive and to be honest what we know and don't know. among the ten, three are women and children, two women, one child and we believe that those three will be among the 50 who are released but again, george, until we actually see them come out, being in the arms of loved ones, get home safely, we can cannot be fully confident and we're going to wait as the families are waiting with baited

breath until they come out and then until every last american comes out. >> negotiations going on for weeks. what was the key to getting this done? jute key was bearing down on both sides, working the united states closely with qatar and the government of egypt to get both sides to essentially get specific. the big mover happened late last week and president biden spoke with netanyahu and emir of qatar and how many hostages for how many days and in return for how many palestinian prisoners and it was the work to refine the details that finally produced the breakthrough that we now see resulting in the announcement of the pause in hostilities and the first return of prisoners of hostages. >> heading into thanksgiving, how concerns are you about attacks here at home? >> i think that we have to be increasingly concerned about the terror threat in the united states against u.s. persons globally and our intelligence community has warned about that. it's something where people

should have individual lens. we don't have -- vigilance. there's no particular credible threat information of a given plot, but we're on heightened state of alert given the turbulence in the middle oh, the walleye war that gaza -- war in gaza but taking every possible measure to protect americans and ensure they're safe for the holidays. >> thank you, jake sullivan. have a great thanksgiving. >> thank you, you too. michael. >> more on the security concerns for the thanksgiving holiday here at home due to the turmoil in the middle east. senior investigative correspondent aaron on the parade route in new york. >> good morning, michael. they're employing up the balloons floating through manhattan for the annual parade and the security concerns are what we heard from the annual security adviser and tight security when the parade starts off and no specific hands as jake sullivan said and a confidential assessment obtained by abc news and the parade makes

an attractive target at a time when israel hamas war created heightened environment and carrying out simple, unsophisticated attacks and protected advance and make it a large attack and jewish or muslim ntsb united states. separately, the authorities are also concerned about the day after thanksgiving, black friday, when shopping malls and other commercial centers couldcosm in for boycotts or disruptions by pro palestinian groups that say there can be no celebrations while genocide is occurring. the authorities though with most specific threats say they're looking forward to hosting three and a half million spectators expected along the parade route tomorrow. guys. >> want everybody to stay safe, of course. thank you, aaron. turning to the latest on the turmoil at openai, the company behind chatgpt. overnight it was announced that the recently ousted ceo sam altman will now return.

salt. that seems like a fair amount. >> lara: it's just salt and water. >> michael: cold water? >> guest: keep it cold, you see and spice recipes but save those for seasoning later, they don't absorb. this is as simple as placing the turkey inside, this is a 12-14 pound bird gempt in -- bird. get in there. like that. >> michael: as you do this, i notice a lot of people are saying "i have been doing it wrong all of these years". >> guest: it doesn't have to be complicated. it sits 6-12 hours. one of the nice pros of this, is, it's pretty fast. you have plenty of time to brine. yes. >> lara: and for flavor, is there another reason to do it? >> guest: the biggest benefit is getting the moist our inside, the salt takes the water in and holds on to the moist our,s big pro. but the con, it's harder to

get the browning here after brining. >> lara: and salting? >> you don't need the water, that's great, the skin will stay nice and dry, browns and crisping beautifully, but you have to remember, to get the salt directly on the skin, use the back of a wooden spoon or hands, wiggle your way under there, loosening the skin, and once you do, you just take the salt, rub it right in. okay? >> lara: i will let you do that. do you guys have a favorite way? to brine or to salt? >> depends on the amount of time, if i salt, 24-48 hours. but it doesn't take up as much space in the frige, this is a lot smaller than that. >> and if you want the best possible skin and juiciness. >> once the turkey's ready to cook, the question is, "to stuff or not to stuff"? >> this is an important one, stuffing a turkey is old-fashioned and seems great, the beauty is, you get a lot

of flavors from the juices dripping into it. but two big problems. one is that you can't get that much inside of the bird, so you can't feed everyone, in order to get the stuffing safe to eat you have to cook to 165 degrees. to do that you will overcook the turkey to get there, it ruins the bird, but erica has a better option. >> spatchcocking. it's great. spatchcocking means removing the backbone and others lays it out flat. a flatter turkey means it will cook in 2.5 hours "flat", you would have the turkey and the stuffing done, and the turkey drippings are gonna flavor the stuffing, you make the stuffing with water and a few eggs here, and you put those together quick. >> lara: is it hard to get the turkey spatchcocked, is that hard to do yourself? >> you can ask a butcher to help you, they are the experts, but it's easy. you need a good pair of

kitchen sheers, cut out the backbone and, press it down, it's suppress-relieving. -- stress relieving. >> lara: you used crew tons and you sought-- saute'd, typical ingredients, onion and celery, sage and time in there, as well. >> guest: i am adding that all in like that. so, >> lara: so the turkey cooks and how do you do the stuffing with it. >> so the stuffing goes on the bottom of the roasting pan, you place it all, it's wonderful, it cooks together in one pan, and best of all people can do this today, they can do the salting method that -- lan, showed. pop it in the frige, and then do the stuffing and put the turkey on top. flavorful and safe to eat.

people don't, it's very sweet. >> guest: we have a pound of toasted pecans, sugar, vanilla, and salt, all of those flavors combined and this gets poured into our crust. press down. and then we bake with it. bears use that to spread it out. >> lara: that couldn't be easier. did the trust take long to make? i am looking for "the catch". >> guest: there's no catch. you press it in, it comes together easy in the mixing bowl, and this is a great foil swing, two pieces of foil, we spray them, check it out, no unmolding of any kind, we pick it up, pop it over there. and done. >> lara: and the most important part? michael? >> you put the flakes up on top there. >> lara: looks fantastic, cheers. thank you, thank you.
