to the u.s. and goes one on one with lester holt. >> do you have any plans to visit the border >> her response and why she says the real problem lies elsewhere. the first report just released on the january 6th attack on the capitol, laying out sweeping failures on intelligence and a police force completely unprepared and overwhelmed. this morning, what's being done to make sure that never happens again. massive outage, overnight major websites and social media sites go offline the problem just identified, and the race to fix it hacked back, the u.s. retaliates against the russian cyber criminals that shut down this country's largest fuel pipeline and manages to get back much of the ransom paid. how it happened just ahead and the company's ceo about to face a grilling today on capitol hill all that, plus new hope.

the first new alzheimer's drug in decades, now approved this morning, why that decision and the treatment are so controversial. and home bodies, the growing back to the office backlash. companies eager to welcome back workers, employees saying, thanks, but no thanks. the battle brewing from coast to coast today, tuesday, june 8th, 2021 >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today," with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb, from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza >> and good morning, everybody welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. good to have you with us hoda is off today, but we've got craig and we've got a lot to cover. >> the top story is the scorching heat wave. >> take a look at this map these are the highs for today. 20 million people under heat advisories with more records expected in new england and parts of the midwest today. >> and the heat is causing a lot

of problems. in new jersey, for instance, it's so hot the governor says it's up to individual schools to decide whether or not kids have to wear those masks. temperatures there reaching above 90 once again today. >> and in the meantime, minneapolis is on track to have its longer heat wave since 1949. high temps expected to linger through the end of the week. al has the full forecast coming up let's get started in minneapolis. nbc's shaquille brewster is there. good morning to you. >> good morning. minneapolis is a city usually known for those frigid temperatures, now dealing with an extended period of extreme heat temperatures expected to break 90 degrees again this morning as folks do whatever they can to stay cool. another round of record-setting temperatures, as an oppressive summer heat wave bakes the nation. >> the heat index up to 100 degrees today. >> reporter: sweltering conditions gripping the northeast, midwest and beyond, with millions of americans

monday under heat emergencies. >> it's 95 degrees out. >> and it's june >> it's going to get worse. >> reporter: in minneapolis, temperatures topping 90 degrees. >> i'm not going to work today. >> because of the ac >> because of the ac. >> reporter: more than a dozen schools shifting to distance learning today to help deal with the heat >> the heat is good in moderation this isn't moderation. >> in maine, most students started the week remotely. >> muggy. >> reporter: while in massachusetts and connecticut, several districts dismissed class early. >> these are some of the hardest calls more than the snow calls for us but when you add the layer of mask wearing that's required in our schools, that's another challenge. >> reporter: at this park in pennsylvania, families welcome the chance to cool off. >> it's a benefit they turned the water on this summer. >> reporter: out west, triple digit temperatures are intensifying

unrelenting heat more than a week before summer officially sets in. now, those students here who have been moved into distance learning, they will remain at home through thursday, only returning on friday for that all-important last day of school savannah >> stay cool there in minneapolis, thank you. for more on the heat and what we can expect, let's turn to the guy who has the answers all the time what's the word? >> most of the time. the word, unfortunately, is a double whammy. we've got high pressure, a bermuda high off the east coast pumping up gulf moisture, jet stream way up to the north so that means above-average temperatures for a good portion of the country from minneapolis all the way to the northeast we've got 20 million people looking at heat indexes of 95 to 100 degrees. it feels like it will feel like 97 in boston, 94 in washington, d.c., hot in the north, minneapolis tomorrow 95 degrees. that's what it's going to feel like 93 in kansas city.

cincinnati 82. the heat will continue we will see a little bit of a break as we get into the latter part of the week, at least along the eastern sea board. friday, new york, 69 degrees 78 in buffalo. but, unfortunately, minneapolis, you only cool down to 88 degrees by saturday, mid-80s in grand rapids the heat is going to continue in the midwest and mid plains for a little while longer. >> thank you turning to the ongoing crisis down at the southern border, the focus of vice president kamala harris, first overseas trip. >> heads to mexico after spending yesterday in guatemala, where she announced several initiatives and delivered a message to migrants, do not come to the united states the vice president sat down exclusively with nbc's lester holt, who began by asking her about that warning. >> in the news conference here in guatemala city, you had a message for would-be migrants. don't come why should they believe you when

they know people are getting in? >> i've been working on this issue for a very long time and the kind of violence and danger that is associated with that trek, especially when we're talking about from guatemala through mexico to the united states, it's extremely dangerous. we are looking at a situation where people are fleeing because of hunger, because of the hurricanes, because of the pandemic so the reason i am here is to address those issues, knowing that people who are here for generations, they want to stay they don't want to leave but they need opportunity, they need assistance, they need support. >> americans don't see a lot of that on a daily basis. what they do see at their own border, children being lowered over fences, children coming in with phone numbers stencilled on their hand and so the question has come up, and you heard it here and you'll hear it again, i'm sure, is why not visit the border why not see what americans are seeing in this crisis?

>> well, we are going to the border we have to deal with what's happening at the border. there's no question about that that's not a debatable point but we have to understand that there's a reason people are arriving at our border and ask, what is that reason? and then identify the problem so we can fix it. >> let's talk about the corruption issue you're notably not visiting el salvador, where there are leaders with links to corruption do you have enough reliable partners in this region to do what needs to be done? >> so we are doing work in the region as a whole. we've been engaged as ab administration, as a country at a high level with leaders in all three of the countries. >> what specifically are you offering these countries you're visiting is there a quid pro quo, if you do this, we'll do this >> no, it's not about quid pro quo, it's simply about understanding, if nothing else, the return on our investment is the same return on your investment that if you have a

neighbor on your block where you grew up who is having a hard time, it's in the best interest not only of your neighbor, but yourself, to help them out, right? and that's how we think about this work. what is the united states' interest in this we're prepared to show up and do it in a way that is motivated by the best interest of diplomacy and democracy and goodwill. >> so how quickly does this change what we see at the border >> there's not going to be a quick fix. we're not going to see an immediate return but we're going to see progress. the real work is going to take time to manifest itself. will it be worth it? yes. will it take some time yes. >> president biden, as vice president, led a similar effort. what is significantly different about what you're doing? >> i'm building off of what the president, then vice president joe biden, did at that time.

but also understanding that this moment is different in many ways take, for example, the pandemic. one of the first things we as a nation were able to offer guatemala was support with their vaccines i've made a commitment and we announced it last week, of 500,000 vaccines to guatemalans. part of what we're doing is i've asked microsoft to partner with us on what we can do to get people access to banking systems through technology and basically help them with their digital connectiveness but the bones of the work, really it's the same let's see the people, let's see their needs, and let's focus on it >> why will it be successful this time if it wasn't in the past >> i think there was success about what happened in the past and, again, when you look at what we're doing now, you're seeing progress. and so let's not overlook progress >> just quickly, do you have any

plans to visit the border? >> at some point we are going to the border, we've been to the border so this whole thing about the border, we've been to the border we've been to the border. >> you haven't been to the border >> and i haven't been to europe. i mean, i don't understand the point that you're making i'm not discounting the importance of the border. >> i mention it because i know republicans have certainly talked about this, but democratic congressmen have said to you and the president, come, see this. >> i care what's happening at the border i'm in guatemala because my focus is dealing with the root causes of migration. there may be some who think that that is not important, but it is my firm belief that if we care about what's happening at the border, we better care about the root causes and address them so that's what i'm doing >> as mentioned, the vice

president wraps up her trip in mexico where she'll meet with the country's president and lester will had more of the interview tonight on nbc news nightly news it's all part of the series focusing on the immigration crisis. also, the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol is back in the spotlight with this morning's release of an investigation that's revealing a lot more about the far-reaching failures of that day nbc's capitol hill correspondent casey hill joins us with this. >> it's been over 150 days since the assault on the u.s. capitol by a pro-trump mob, an attack that left five people dead and hundreds injured now a new report from two senate committees is delivering a devastating assessment of what went wrong on january 6th, pointing on a security and intelligence collapse. still, the report stops short of examining former president trump's role in inciting the attack this morning, a new devastating

view of the deadly insurrection on january 6th a bipartisan senate report blaming intelligence and security failures at every level before and during the capitol breach. >> the crowd is using munitions against us bear spray in the crowds. >> reporter: despite calls for violence at the capitol ahead of january 6th, the report says neither the fbi nor the department of homeland security issued a threat assessment or intelligence bulletin warning of possible violence. the report says while the capitol police's intelligence division was aware of the threats of violence, that critical information was not shared with capitol police's own officers and other law enforcement partners the report find the capitol police had no plan in place to prevent or respond to security threats that day and that the force's leadership failed to provide or training. quoting rank in file officers, one saying i felt like i was alone. another recounting the

lieutenant repeatedly asking over the radio, does anyone have a plan of the serval civil service disturbance responding that day, only four had protection and some of that equipment was locked in a bus. officer daniel hodges was pinned to a doorway by rioters. >> they ripped my mask off, beat me up, sprayed me with everything. >> reporter: communications were chaotic, sporadic, and according to many frontline officers, nonexistent according to the report >> get up here they've breached the scaffold. they have breached the scaffold. they're behind our lines. >> reporter: federal prosecutors say they expect to charge at least 550 people in the riot one rioter has been charged with assaulting police but has not yet entered a plea, telling nbc's washington, d.c. affiliate in a jailhouse interview. >> the idea was to confront our

lawmakers. >> reporter: new overnight, capitol police leadership reacting to this report, saying in part, quote, neither the u.s. capitol police nor the fbi, u.s. secret service, metropolitan police or other law enforcement partners knew thousands of rioters were planning to attack the u.s. capitol the known intelligence simply didn't support that conclusion craig? >> thank you meanwhile, there are significant developments tied to those recent cyberattacks on key pieces of u.s. infrastructure. our senior national correspondent is here with the latest tom, good morning. >> good morning to you big update in the colonial pipeline hack. the ceo is testifying before congress on the ransomware attack that shut down the largest fuel pipeline leading to the gas shortage now it turns out the hackers ended up with almost nothing nbc's justice correspondent pete williams joins us with an update.

>> we now know what was going on behind-the-scenes when colonial pipeline was hit it turns out the fbi was already on the case and was able to hack the hackers. the company didn't disclose it at the time as people were waiting in long lines to buy gasoline >> i've been waiting here for 45 minutes just to get gas. >> reporter: but colonial pipeline informed the fbi almost immediately after realizing it was hit with a demand for ransom to unfreeze its computers. the fbi quickly discovered that the attack was the work of a group in russia called dark side, already under u.s. investigation for other computer attacks. while keeping the fbi informed, colonial paid the ransom, able to trace the money to a bitcoin account in northern california the fbi managed to get the password and on monday a federal judge ordered the money seized >> the department of justice has found and recaptured the majority of the ransom colonial paid to the dark side network in

the wake of last month's ransomware attack. >> reporter: colonial didn't get all its money back, partly because of the fluctuating value of bit coins, but the fbi says the hackers ended up with virtually nothing. >> for financially motivated cyber criminals, especially those located overseas, cutting off access to revenue is one of the most impactful consequences we can impose. >> reporter: when colonial was hit, it shut its pipeline down for 11 days, that led to a run on gas stations that caused shortages in many southeastern states the justice department says it was able to get a good deal of colonial's money back this time, but it may not be able to do it often, so it's urging companies to shore up their computer defenses so they don't get hit in the first place. >> those hacks are happening more and more. pete williams, thank you. i have breaking news on this tuesday morning. numerous websites went down this morning after a widespread outage at the cloud service company fastly

some of the reason polling on this shows one in four employees would rather keep working remotely full-time, but the question now is whether their bosses will actually let them. some companies looking to get staffers back at their desks and making it mandatory. >> i don't know how to remove it >> reporter: from videoconferencing mishaps and zoom fatigue, to sweatpants and an easy commute, many americans have found working from home a mixed blessing, some eager to go back, others feeling a little like this. >> no, god >> reporter: bloomberg reporting a survey of 1,000 adults showed 39% would consider quitting if their employees were not flexible will remote work and some may not be. some high-profile bosses recently suggesting they're looking for employees in the office, like the head of jpmorgan chase, who is ready to say so long to video chats for good >> i'm about to cancel all my zoom meetings. i just think they're -- i'm done with it.

this morning on in-depth, we are focusing on the new alzheimer's drug to be approved by the fda in nearly 20 years. >> this is fierce debate over its effectiveness and why it was approved we'll talk about that with dr. torres in a moment first stephanie gosk joins us with the story good morning. >> reporter: alzheimer's has gone 18 years without a new treatment. the disease affects roughly 6 million americans with no cure but now this new drug is set to hit the market the fda taking a controversial step to approve the treatment even before there is proof that it works alzheimer's patients and their families have a new place to turn in their struggle against the debilitating disease the fda granting approval to the drug aduhelm, made by biogen it attacks the amaloid protein, a type of plaque that builds up in the brains of patients. >> after almost two decades without having any innovation, it's a new day it's some hope finally for the

patients and their families. >> reporter: the alzheimer's association calling the approval a victory. >> this is the first fda drug approval in our history that delays the decline due to he aps controversial. the fda is requiring biogen to conduct another trial, even though the drug will be on the market, because the agency says there are uncertainties regarding clinical benefit biogen does not contest the need for more research, adding they are committed to continuing studying the product >> is that really unique that the fda would approve it with this caveat that pharmaceutical company has to do another trial? >> the fda is using a special regulatory mechanism called accelerated approval, which allows a drug to be put out with evidence that is tentative. >> reporter: the fda's own independent advisory committee urged the agency to reject the drug, warning the evidence does not show that the drug slows alzheimer's and that there are

serious side effects, including swelling and even bleeding inside the brain this gentleman took part in the trial and he's been taking it for five years and says it has worked for him. >> if there's the possibility that this drug can slow down the progression of this disease and give people more time with their families, maybe more time working, more time just living and being part of society, then why wouldn't we want to approve it >> reporter: it will come with a steep price tag. each iv infusion costs $4,300. a year of treatment, $56,000 a lot of money, some critics say, for a drug that still needs to prove it works. among the contentious issues with the approval, what it will mean for the development of other new alzheimer's drugs, some experts worry it may slow down research, while others argue an approval like this is exactly what is needed to inspire new break-throughs in

the field, guys. >> really interesting discussion we want to take it further with nbc's senior medical correspondent, dr. john torres were you surprised that the fda gave this conditional approval to the drug, given the uncertainty about whether it works at all and the fact that previously two years ago they didn't approve it because they didn't think it worked >> savannah, i was surprised a little bit, because like you mentioned, a couple years ago it was denied because it didn't prove to be working. they went back and looked at the data, when they filtered through the data, they found for a certain subset of patients who got high dosing, it seemed to work in at least one of the trials they did an exact trial like it and it didn't work in that one there's a lot of confusion experts are going back and forth with those in the alzheimer's community, particularly alzheimer's association saying we really need this drug, like stephanie had mentioned, but other experts saying this is not the one we need to have right now. we need to keep doing research i think that's one of the big reasons they went ahead and approved it. it is giving families hope, it does give us one tool we can use

and it's opening the door to more research, which i think is something we really need. >> dr. torres, here's the thing. it's not a cure, it doesn't improve cognitive function what does the drug do? how does it work >> so what the drug does is it gets rid of the amaliod plaques, one of the contributing factors to alzheimer's this is the first drug we've had for alzheimer's that attacks one of the physical bases behind alzheimer's. the other drugs worked on symptoms what they think is when that amaloid plaque gets cleared out it can slow down the progression of the disease, but we don't really know if that's in fact going to happen. those don't necessarily equal each other time will tell where we go other drugs are coming down the pipeline and the hope is some of those drugs will show even more benefit. >> dr. torres. thank you so much. so many more questions in fact, dr. torres is going to come back in the third hour to answer more of those questions >> a lot of people hanging on to

welcome to my kitchen. >> it's beautiful. i have to say, i think this topic is so important. people know when your hormones are out of whack, you don't feel well mentally, physically, emotionally. you just feel like a mess. >> it affects everything. >> let's start with your introduction to the book it's sub titled you're not broken what does that mean? >> as women we are so inclined the minute we have something going on in our bodies to think we're doing something wrong or there's something wrong with us. this book is a bit of a wakeup call to tell women it's not you, but there are a lot of things that are going on in our environment, our diets being one of them, that can have a significant impact on our hormones so you're not broken, it's not your fault but there are some things you can do to really take back your hormone health and feel better again. >> really quickly, if we get back to basics and keep it simple, what are hormones? >> chemical messengers that are produced in one part of the

body, secreted into our bloodstream, and kind of like an email, tell us what to do, give a message. >> when your hormones are out of whack you can't think straight let's talk about the hormone intelligence diet. what exactly is that >> so it's a very simple way to remove the triggers that most likely upset most women's hormone balance and introduce the really important and delicious, i will add, building blocks that our bodies need to make healthy hormones and also to keep our hormones in balance. >> and so a big part of this, you say, is your diet. you have a typical healthy menu there, a meal right in front of you. can you walk us through what you have on the table and why it's important? >> absolutely. i think we've all learned a bit or two about stress eating in the past year. one of the important things about keeping our hormones healthy is actually keeping inflammation low, keeping our blood sugar balanced and feeling satisfied while enjoying a delicious meal

you can see this, is a really simple salmon fajita i roasted it with oregano, jerk seasoning, olive oil, and avacado. our moods will be easier, less pms. also, we need fats to make hormones i also have a black bean and corn, kind of a salsa here with chopped red yoonion and red pepper, and those beans are incredibly important for keeping our microbiome healthy in our gut. it's, of course, delicious i've got salsa because i love it here is a cabbage slaw made with

red, green cabbage, carrots and spices that are good for digestion. it helps to break down our hormones. >> i want to squeeze in other ones i hadn't heard of you say we should include two to four tablespoons of fermented foods in our diet every day. >> i have kimchi and instead of using sour cream on this meal,st you can use a dallop of greek yogurt wive got pickled beets, sauerkraut, which is great for inflammation, and then a red cabbage kimchi these are delicious and great ways to support your gut hormone balance. >> a couple of other things, i know you say herbs and spices you recommend. what spices? we have a few seconds left here.

>> so in this dish i used oregano, thyme, garlic and onions. >> and then seeds? >> seeds are great for balancing estrogen this is a toasted seed mix you can grab a handful as a healthy snack or sprinkle it in any foods you love >> i guess i should be clear, you practice integrative medicine, but you believe that a diet can help with health and wellness we have seconds left, but i had to save chocolate for last. >> what kind of women's doctor would i be if i didn't include dark chocolate three things, better mood, better blood pressure, healthier weight a couple of ounces a day totally legit as part of a hormone healthy diet. >> dheers to that. dr. rahm, thank you. we squeezed in a lot of information this morning. >> thank you so much for having me. >> the book is called "hormone intelligence" and you can find out more about it at today.com/shop up next, mastering healthy

i'm here with you guys. >> for people at home, you used to bake little treats and you had your little test kitchen at home to see you having your first cookbook, i feel like a proud mommy. how does it feel >> it is surreal and like you said, you guys are my first taste testers, so thank you, truly, for your support and love and for trying my baked goods at 4:00 in the morning when i brought them in the best taste testers ever. but it feels amazing and it feels so cool to have all of my recipes and stories in one place, and i've been working on it for years so it's really indescribable, honestly. >> samah, you've got the book out today, and, by the way, you've got this brand new show on "today all day" on the streaming channel. the show is called hashtag cooking. what can folks expect to see what kind of recipes are you going to be passing along? >> there's a lot going on today. i'm so excited about it. basically my whole philosophy on food and cooking is just to

teach people how to do more with less, less ingredients, less time recipes are healthy but still indulgent. and all of my recipes are healthy, but still in dull endull gentlen i want people to look at a banana and whip up buffen tops or take avocado is not put it on toast and make a creamy pasta sauce. >> you're going to start off with what you call your dream desert it combines a whole lot of good stuff. >> yes, i'm going to show you guys how to make my salted peanut butter caramel bars peanut butter has gotten me through a lot in my life it's been a huge emotional support. i thought i would give it the credit it deserves in these bars so we're going to start with the first layer, which is my shortbread crust super easy to make, minimal ingredients, like all of my recipes. i'm starting with honey in a bowl then i'm going to add coconut

oil right into there and whisk it until it's nice and smooth. it's kind of going to serve as a burt replacement that's what coconut oil will do in this recipe it's really nice then once i get this nice and smooth, i'm going to add in my almond flour and my coconut flour. these are two of my favorite things to bake with because almond flour is really dense, coconut flour is really light, so they work well to give us a gorgeous consistency this is gluten free. so that's the thing, with all these recipes, they do happen to be gluten free or dairy free, but not because i'm trying to make it that way just by nature of the ingredients that i like to cook and bake with. >> what you proved to me is that you can be extremely healthy and delicious. i think that's where you pull it all in because it's so good. >> totally i literally cannot live my life without cookies. it's just a fact but i also want to be healthy and i'm mindful of what i eat

and i want to make sure paring down the ingredient list but you don't want to feel like you're missing out on comfort. >> yes, this is the shortbread crust. i'm mixing this until it's well incorporated i'm going to transfer it into my pan. i'm going to press it down, making sure it's evenly distributed throughout the pan just like this then once i do that, i'm going to bake it off for 10 minutes until it's nice and golden brown. it's going to look like this when it's done we want it to be completely cool, and then while it is cooling we can work on our caramel. the most important part. >> how do you do that? >> so here's the best part about this caramel, is that you can make it in a blender if anyone was considering a smoothie today, like maybe just reconsider your life choices and make this recipe. >> reconsider life choices. >> yes, exactly. i'm starting with peanut butter in my blender. if you're allergic to peanut butter or don't like it, you can

use your favorite nut butter here and i want it to be accessible and inclusive for everybody. i've got my peanut butter. now i'm going to add some dates. i love dates not the romantic kind. these are amazing. super sweet, it's got nice caramel undertones i'm going to add them all in and it's going to be a great addition for our caramel i'm going to add melted coconut oil straight into the blender. >> we're staring at your blender. i know it's going to be good. >> you just know, sheinelle, you just know. a little coconut sugar for sweetness that will complement the dates. a little pinch of salt and then almond milk to help everything blend together, like that. again, super easy. very few ingredients in here to create a really delicious result i'm going to blend this until it's nice and smooth just imagine that's completely blended and it's going to look a little something like this

super smooth very velvety. >> you just put that on top? >> yes, my struggle is really getting everything into the pan because it tastes so good on its own. i've got my cooled crust and i'm going to put my caramel straight onto my crust like that. i'm going to spread it out until it's nice and evenly distributed throughout the pan, and then what we're going to do is, once i get it there, i'm just going to let this hang out in the freezer for about 30 minutes we want it to kind of firm up the caramel and prepare it for our last layer, which is chocolate. >> chocolate chips >> yes, so i've got this all spread out i've got my chocolate chips. really easy way to melt chocolate is just in the microwave in increments. i just put this in the microwave, 10 to 15 second increments, stirring so it's nice and smooth and glossy it's going to look like this >> yummy. >> how do we get them out of the

pan without breaking the bars up >> so, al, here's the best thing. when i prepare my pan i create these parchment paper flaps because it gives you easy removal. if it was stuck in the pan, that's so sad. i don't want that. >> so sad. >> really sad, right so you might be wondering, why am i adding chocolate? i just have to say, why not, and we deserve it. >> what does the final thing look like? >> all of the chocolate is in and then we're going to freeze it for an hour and it's going to end up looking like this i add a little flaky salt on top to bring out the sweetness. >> thank you we are happy, hungry and proud. >> thank you. >> and indian cooking is also her specialty. her new show, you'll see it all. >> yes >> again, the first episode of hashtag cooking starts today at 11:00 a.m. on "today all day."
