2013. >> announcer: this is "today." with lester holt and erica hill live from studio 1-a in rockefeller plas plaza. good morning everyone. welcome to "today" on a saturday morning. i'm lester holt. >> i'm erica hill alongside dylan dreyer and craig hill in this morning. jeb corliss attempt to go fly through two peaks in china. about the length of two football fields, twas a 40-foot gap here? >> i think 25 feet. >> the lowest point 15 feet wide, the highest is 60.5 feet wide, the highest is 60. the tough part for him he had to maintain this perfect position for 20 to 30 seconds. his last jumps were maybe one to and this is a simulation and made it only 50% of the time. he hit the wrong position. >> those are great ops going in. >> not a lot of room for error. >> not too much. >> i sky dived once, twice, just had to hold this position for 30 seconds and that was impossible. i don't know how you steer

between pieces of rock. >> we're going to hear from him about this incredible feat later on. we wanted to show you a little bit before we got started. we want to begin with today's top story the ticking clock and looming government shutdown. luke russert is on capitol hill right now with the latest. luke, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, lester. here on capitol hill for a rare weekend session for the house of representatives as they try to figure out some way to avoid a government shutdown. yesterday on a party line vote, the senate passed a bill to continue to fund the government. it's a clean bill that did not have any funds to defund the president's health care law and it's sitting well with house republicans who want to see changes to the law. president obama issued this warning to house republicans in congress. >> president obama issued this warning to republicans in congress. >> our message to congress is do not shut down the government, do not shut down the economy. pay our bills on time.

refocus on the every day concerns of the american people. >> so house republicans had a meeting today as a conference and are going to try to figure out some sort of possible compromise. as of now it looks like they're going to try to change the bill that came over as the senate, do something to change it up. that will not sit well with democrats who doesn't want any changes to the clean government funding law. as we move forward and get close to that midnight deadline, the threat of the government shutdown heightens. they say more likely than not we are preparing for the worst and if that happens, you will see federal workers furloughed, national parks closed as well as pay to troops overseas stopped. a will the of issues a lot of people on capitol hill want to avoid. right now partisanship is still high. there's no way to see we don't

get the brinks of a shutdown. hours, speaker boehner will meet with a number of republicans. it seems at this point as we are hearing from peter king and tom coburn, it's not clear whether or not the entire party has the stomach for this. do they? >> the party does not have the stomach for it, erica. look. we have seen all week a battle within the republican party. this is not a fight right now between democrats and republicans. this is a fight within the republican party that they are trying to resolve. the speaker is trying to head off these members of his caucus who are pushing toward the shutdown that would occur if we don't get a deal on monday night. >> do they have that caucus? i bring up again senator tom coburn because he was in the house in the '90s when there was a government shutdown looming again. this is a quote here. you do not take a hostage you

are not going to for sure shoot. we will not for sure shoot this hostage. in turn, could republicans be shooting themselves in the foot? >> there's no question about it. the entire republican leadership knows that. they have been trying to head off this strategy for weeks and have been unsuccessful because of the zeal of this small group of people within the republican caucus. there's no doubt that if we have a shutdown, republicans are going to get blamed for it for the simple fact that the whole country will see that this is a shutdown brought on by the republican party. democrats are not making any demands, erica. the only people making demands here are republicans who are talking about not only shutting down obamacare, but if you look at the things they are discussing, asking in return for raising the debt limit, which is a much more important issue than the government shutdown, it is so far beyond what we have become accustomed to in normal democratic governance, it's more like a "saturday night live" skit. i bet there will be is "saturday

night live" skit tonight on it. >> a good promo for that, john. john harwood in washington, not the last time we'll be talking fwou it. appreciate your insight. history was made on friday at the oval office. with one phone call. president obama taking a phone call from iran's president rouhani. they spoke for nearly 15 minutes. it was the first conversation between the two nations' leaders in more than 30 years. where do they go from this starting point? kristen welker is live at the white house with that story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. foreign policy experts say this could be a new beginning in the relationship between the united states and iran but they also say it will be important for both sides to keep the momentum going if they hope to get an agreement on iran's nuclear program. this potential breakthrough marked by a phone call that will go down in history. with the budget battle looming, a surprise foreign policy announcement from the president telling reporters he called iran's president hasan rouhani on friday.

>> the two of us discussed our ongoing efforts to reach an agreement over iran's nuclear program. >> reporter: senior administration officials say the call lasted about 15 minutes and after rouhani turned down a handshake from the president at the u.n. this week. after conversations thursday between secretary of state john kerry and his iranian counterpart both sides came around. rouhani tweeted news of the call before mr. obama spoke to reporters. >> a path to a meaningful agreement will be difficult, but i believe we have got a responsibility to pursue diplomacy. >> reporter: mr. rouhani, who also tweeted a photo of himself smiling after the call, spent the week reaching out to the u.s. by taking on a more moderate tone this his predecessors and he also made assurances during a recent interview with ann curry. >> translator: we have never pursued or sought nuclear weapons and we are not going to do so.

>> reporter: it's been more than 30 years since there were top level talks between the united states and iran dating back to president jimmy carter before iran's revolution and the american hostage crisis which lasted more than a year. events that than a year. event that foster the decade long diplomatic free. >> it's not very often you can see the hinge of history moving. you may have seen that this week. a step by step process that can fundamentally change one of the key strategic relationships in the middle east and in the world. >> reporter: house majority leader eric cantor criticized president obama for not calling on the iranian leader to halt his support of extremist elements and the syrian government. meanwhile, u.s. officials say it is important for them to reassure key allies in the region, particularly israel. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is scheduled to visit the white house on a separate

bottom and opened his parachute and landed heavily, but safely. now, we caught up with him after that spectacular stunt and i can tell you, he was really ecstatic. >> it was the single gnarliest thing i have ever done. i have never experienced anything more hard-core, period. i was 100% sure that that was not happening. i'm like, we're done, we're done. i have not been that scared in my life. it was so overwhelming. it was so powerful. i just started crying. >> reporter: he said it was the most challenging, scary thing he had had ever done and at one point, he came that close to the wall. i mean, it was pretty scary from where i was looking and quite spectacular, erica. >> it's pretty scary and spectacular all the way here in new york when we see it on a video. ian williams, thanks. 65 used to be the magic number of the age when people would give up working for good

and pull out the golf clubs but these days, more and more people are putting their retirement plans on hold and some are doing it, they say, permanently. john yang has one couple's story. >> has are you guys? good morning. >> reporter: an age many are looking to kick back and relax, barbara and her husband get up early and go to work. barbara heads to her job as a computer software company. bob, 69 and an engineer commutes down the hall to a home office. it's not the life they imagined. >> it isn't, i think, the way we pictured it when we were young. i'm sure when we were young we never thought we would be looking past 65. >> joo they contributed to 401(k)s and put money away but took a hit in the stock market. >> we had this nest egg and we always thought that was going to carry us through and we lost a lot. >> reporter: a far cry from their parents' retirement more

savings and not thinking about retirement are look longer term. for some people, going to the golf course is not what they want to do. they think that is the images they see but actually they may have something they enjoy doing. working and retirement doesn't have to necessarily working in a 9:00 to 5:00 job you have right now but it might be doing something that gives you an income that you enjoy doing. >> a lot of us are living longer. you retire at 62, you may be retired 25 to 30 years. tell us what people should do right now to avoid this trap. >> think what you can cut out now and save more. try to save 10% of your salary. also think about what the long-term growth is going to be like. don't worry about what is happening year-to-year, month-to-month. the statements that come in can be so scary sometimes when there is something happening with the market but you're thinking about longer term. work with a financial adviser because sometimes you need someone to help you to figure out what to vest in but also help you stop yourself from

doing those things like taking the money out and overspending, getting rid of that credit card debt. you need somebody to be a check on you. >> a mindset change has to take place as you approach this retirement date, don't you? >> i think you have to reimagine retirement. when i think of retirement, i think of my grandfather and prnts grandparents. my grandmother is 76 and she goes to the gym every day. maybe something you can do during retirement and make money at but it's fun work in retirement. >> all great advice, sharon. thanks. >> thank you. up next a man's best friend is a man's hero. we will share that with you coming up next. first, this is "today" on nbc.

these dogs really do. >> reporter: these men will spend ten days at this long island facility bonding and learning how to handle their new constant companions. so you guys have only been with these dogs for about ten days, but you have such a bond with them. >> i think it's made me come out of my shell a little bit. >> it's a battle buddy. that dog is there 24/7, you know he? >> knowing that i can do something by myself! >> reporter: and they can already feel the connection. you guys are the ultimate heroes. how humbling is it to come back now and have these dogs now take care of you? >> they are our heroes. they are going to be there for us every time we need them. >> i spoke with brian yesterday, he is the one who was ganikas and he says things have been amazing since he has been home. he says it is a true blessing to have ganikas in his life and it's a true blessing. >> i love the name. >> it is a big name. >> i love the organizations have

this morning. a national story unfolding right now in the bay area. late last night the man suspected of killing a dodgers fan was released from san francisco jail. the sheriff's department said it didn't have enough evidence to keep michael montgomery in jail, and the district attorney says now it's possible that he acted in self-defense. the victim in this case is 24-year-old jonathan denver. the dodgers fan was stabbed to death just a few blocks from at&t park. investigators say montgomery was wearing a giants hat at the time and that his group and denver's group may have exchanged words inside a bar about the team rivalry. the groups crossed paths at harrison. we spoke with his mother and he says he was hit with a chair and was trying to defend himself. in order to charge montgomery, it must be proven that he did not act in self-defense.

>> police say more than 50 officers will be inside the concert venue in uniform and in plain clothing. raves were banned after two concert-goers died from drug overdoses. there will be an amnesty box at the gate where people can leave their drugs, no questions asked. now we will have more on this morning's top stories coming up at 7:00 on "today in the bay." first we'll have another local update coming up in just 30 minutes. for now we send you back to the "today" show. we'll see you soon.

his show. kanye is now getting some advice. you'll be interested to hear who that advice is coming from and how he handles all of this. i'm kind of obsessed with this story. that's what i'm wondering. >> talk about it coming up. remember the days of boy meets girl and boy gets down on one knee and the girl says yes in complete shock? yes! that kind of luster may be changing and tell you about what some couples are doing that may take the romantic out of a proposal but may leave a little money in his bank account if you know where i'm going with this. >> maybe start life off much better without as much debt but that is from two practical people here. florida's controversial stand your ground law is back in the spotlight this morning because a woman who was sentenced to 20 years behind bars for firing a gun to scare her husband is being grand a new trial. gabe gutierrez has more.

>> reporter: the appeals court ruled the judge made a error during jury struck shen. a case that drew national attention is once again in the spotlight. >> love you! >> love you. >> reporter: this morning marisa alexander has a new chance of freedom. an appeals court ordering a new trial after she was convicted last year of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. >> she has no prior record and led an upstanding life. everyone can see no one was harmed here. >> reporter: in august of 2010 during a violent argument with her husband in jacksonville they went to the garage and got her gun which she illegal owned and claiming he threatened to kill her, alexander says she fired a warning shot into the wall to scare him off. but prosecutors argued she was aiming at her husband and missed. the jury took just 12 minutes to convict her. florida's gun laws require a minimum sentence of 20 years. a punishment even her now

ex-husband thinks is too severe. >> he recognizes that she is going to be punished. he wants her to be punished appropriately. >> reporter: xampalexander casew national attention in last year's shooting death of unarmed teenager trayvon martin. while the appeals court upheld that stand your ground did not play in alexander's case it did rule the jury instructions were wrong because the judge implied it was up to alexander to prove self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt when, in fact, the burden of proof falls on the prosecution. >> the court is saying it's inartfully worded and gives the jury the wrong impression who bears that burden. >> reporter: prosecutors call the reversal a legal technicality and say they plan to argument the same set of facts. a new trial that has not been set, but alexander's lawyers say they hope it happens within the next six months. in the meantime, they plan to ask the court here to reconsider her bail.

more nerve wracking enlet your teenager drive a family car. a lot of states have the graduated dliver's license programs that add restrictions for your young driver. but is your teen following those rules? tom costello is here with more. >> reporter: the restrictions have on the kids. a lot of kids are not following these graduated driver's license restrictions and the consequences can be deadly. a teenager died in this accident. a 15-year-old boy in the back seat with a group of teens leaving a church event, no drinking, no drugs, just a teen driver with a provisional license who wasn't supposed to have other kids in the car. >> dispatcher three. >> reporter: the kind of accident captain police tomas diedon has seen time and time again. >> our teens are the most dangerous drivers on the roadway because they just don't have the skill set or the maturity and

the experience to do things. >> reporter: even good kids make deadly decisions. danica had only been driving a year when she lost control while speeding and horsing around. in her box of teenager memories, the photo of 16-year-old donovan, her boyfriend who died that night. >> when they took me away in the ambulance before the door shut, donovan's mom came on to the scene and i could just hear her crying for her son. >> reporter: every state now tries to ease teens into driving through graduated licenses. >> crashes are the number one cause of death for teens and their first year of driving is by far the most dangerous. >> reporter: a new state farm survey finds only 43% of teenage drivers following the laws and 48% follow nighttime restrictions but 63% stay off their phones while driving and 72% don't text.
