time trying to capitalize on donald trump. word that donald trump clinched the gop nomination hillary clinton is taking every opportunity to sharpen her attacks. >> there is absolutely no way that we can let donald trump get anywhere near the white house. >> that means an unqualified loose cannon is within reach of the most powerful job in the world. >> clinton is in full damage control mode after the inspector general rebuked her use of a private e-mail server when she was secretary of state, to defend herself including with chuck todd. >> the report makes clear that personal e-mail use was the practice under other secretaries of state. >> and she tried to clarify a 2010 e-mail in which she wrote she didn't want the personaling accessible. >> to be clear --

>> what were you worried about? accessible by who? >> nobody wants their personal e-mails made public, you know that is i think a very common if not unanimous feeling among people. >> the report found she did break the rules by not proper preserving her e-mails and slammed her for failing to refusing to cooperate with the investigation. >> i testified for 11 hours before the committee, the benghazi committee, i have answered numerous questions. >> and as clinton barnstorms in california, on thursday she laughed off word of a possible debate between trump and bernie sanders. >> i understood they said that was a joke and i'm going to look forward to debating donald trump. >> now that e-mail issue isn't going away for clinton. she's awaiting the results of an fbi investigation, meanwhile today clinton fighting to lock up the nomination will campaign here in re in california, her ot bernie sanders will as well. polls show it is shaping up to

be a tighter race than perhaps any one imagined. >> kristin, thank you very much. frightening moments for passengers on a flight from tokyo to seoul, south korea. an engine fire broke out on a korean air jet seconds before that plane was supposed to take off. all 302 passengers and 17 crew members were quickly evacuated as emergency crews rushed to put out the fire. japan's busiest airport was temporarily sh down. luckily no injuries reported. >> it's disturbing, a drug resistant super bug doctors have been dreading has shown up in the u.s. for the first time. health officials are concerned that it could signal what they call the end of the road for antibiotics. the mutant e. coli germ was found last month at a 49-year-old pennsylvania woman. health officials say the case is not cause for panic. medical story, a u.s. government study on rats found a link between cell phones and cancer. according to "the wall street

we have 2.6 million people traveling today. the busiest airports going go be atlanta, los angeles and right in new york there. i'm still walking, which is a surprising statistic, the average price of a ticket, $165. that's for round trip so that's surprising. but, as i'm walking and continuing to walk in this line, let me show you as i pass around here, this goes from here to yet another line that then snakes back and forth and back and forth. they are trying to soothe some of the savage beasts with music. but they told people that they wanted them to come to the airport three hours early, and if they did, they are going to make it fine. if they didn't, sorry to say they are probably going to miss their flight. guys, this is probably not the day you really want to travel, but of course it's the weekend where you want to get together with friends. >> yes. >> one of the stories of the summer. >> seems like a tour guy at the smithsonian.

worried. >> "today" national investigative correspondent jeff rossen has more on this. >> good morning to you. important topic. we are out here in new york this morning. it is about 70 degrees outside. we are talking about how hot cars can get inside. i always thought that cars can't get that hot inside unless it's really hot outside. 80 or 90 degrees. that is not true. children can die sitting in a car if it is 70, like now, and feeling good ouide. as low as 60 degrees. it's already happening. this is one of the worst in more than a decade, with new cases just this week. this morning, i am hopping inside a of a car to show you how fast it can happen. plus, how to break a child out if you spot them stranded. >> reporter: north carolina, wednesday. an eight-month-old baby boy trapped inside this suv for hours. his mom reportedly forgot him in there. he was killed. florida, just days earlier,

>> 101. now you're in a danger zone. >> reporter: a few minutes later, he takes my temperature again. >> temperature is getting almost to 104. i want to end this. too dangerous for you. >> he called it off because, i mean, look at this, my body temperature got too hot. i'm already at 104. a child can't open the door like i just did. that sticks with me. >> reporter: what if you spot a child in a hot car? how do you break in? you can see, it's not easy. this woman desperately hammering on the back window of a stranger's car. inside, a 2-year-old girl left in her car seat. the temperatures inside soaring well over 100 degrees. thankfully, the baby was pulled to safety. >> my first instinct would be to punch the window orel b elbow i >> give it a try. hurts, doesn't it? >> won't break. >> it won't break, and it'll probably hurt you. we don't want to break the window anyway, because the glass

shards go on your child. >> go to the opposite side of the child. >> everyday objects. go to the trunk and grab a tire iron. we change our tires with that. it has a sharp end. grab the handle. >> you're telling me, this is the weakest part of the window, the lower bottom. >> don't use the center because that's the strongest part. down in the corners. get the point to where it is in the corner. then pull back and go in. >> wow. >> here's another option. you can get a window breaker at any big box store, auto store. $10 to $15. keep it in the car. sharp point. strike the same spot i did right here. >> wow. >> nice and easy. >> look at that, then you do this. >> don't use your hand. start at the top and work down. >> that's it? >> that simple, you can save a child's life. >> and consider this, a car left

sitting in the sun can actually heat up by 19 degrees every ten minutes. it is a startling number. it doesn't take long for a tragedy to strike. experts say contrary to popular belief, keeping a child in here, even as you run into the store quickly to get a coffee, nothing is safe. we apologize for the noise. a lot of traffic is going by. cracking a window doesn't help, no matter how long. don't try to do it. this goes for pets, too. they die every year, too. we hope this helps. >> jeff, thank you very much. princess diana's childhood home open for business. what you get when you pay to stay at the mansion. carson introduces us to the two winners of this jay knows how to keep his wheels spinning. nice shorts dad... they don't make 'em in adult sizes? this is what the pros wear. look at the lines... uhhh... look at the other line... mm...mhh... that's why he starts his day with those two scoops... in deliciously heart healthy kellogg's raisin bran.

shredded cheese, sprinkle tale over the top with a little parsley and you're done. >> all right. >> and because they're accordion and they're facing up like this, it cooks a lot faster. barbecued chip chops. crunchy? >> well, first of all, the pork is really tender and juicy still. >> that's the brine. >> mm-hmm. and the chips do add an element i have not had before. i love it. it's really good. it's really good. what are you doing for the holiday? >> you know what, i'm going probably hang out with my dog and my cats in brooklyn. i just wanted to tell you guys, thank you so much for supporting me, a veteran. i've been coming by to honor the military members on memorial day for a long time at the "today" show and i really do appreciate you guys and what you do for the military members. >> we thank you for your service. we thank these folks here for their service as well. sunny, thanks a lot. >> thank you, matt. >> you can find this recipe, by the way, and all of the recipes of the week under the grilling tab at today.com/food. up next, great music to go with great food. dierks bentley live on the citi

we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. i couldn't have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. i found another way. yeah, treatment with xarelto®. hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical

or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. this... i try hard to get a great shape. i can do easily. benefiber® healthy shape helps curb cravings. it's a clear, taste-free daily supplement... ...that's clinically proven to help keep me fuller longer. benefiber® healthy shape. this, i can do. find us in the fiber aisle. and i've found the perfect skincare. age perfect hydra-nutrition from l'oreal. deeply moisturizes with
