we'll start in brussels with nbc's chief white house correspondent peter alexander. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, savannah, good morning to you. president biden's arrival here at nato today marks an american reset of sorts. the president already this morning touting this transatlantic alliance as vital while former president trump in the past threatened to quit the group. still these leaders face some serious challenges that they need to confront. from a rising china to a more aggressive russia. president biden at his first nato summit looking to send a clear message to america's allies that the u.s. will have their backs. >> nato is critically important to u.s. interests in and of itself. if there weren't one, we'd have to invent one. >> reporter: a stark contrast to his predecessor who criticized nato nations for over relying on the u.s., labeling the decades old security alliance obsolete. the president behind closed

doors here expected to consult the u.s.' partners before wednesday's high-stakes summit with vladimir putin. >> so what specifically will you do differently to change vladimir putin's behavior? >> well, first of all, there's no guarantee you can change a person's behavior or the behavior of his country. autocrats have enormous power, they don't have to answer to a public. >> reporter: among the challenges, intensifying cyberattacks with targets that have included the u.s. oil and food supply, launched by criminals based in russia, according to the government. despite years of u.s. sanctions on russia for its malign activities, they have not stopped. putin now proposing to hand over russian hackers to the u.s. if president biden would do the same. >> so are you open to that kind of a trade with vladimir putin? >> yes, i'm open to, if there's crimes committed against russia, that in fact are -- and the people committing those crimes are being harbored in the united states, i'm committe them accountable. >> reporter: on sunday, the

bidens enjoyed a royal send-off from the uk with the queen welcoming them to windsor castle, a ceremony rich with pageantry. the president later revealing details of their private conversation over tea, including how she asked him about putin and china's president xi, and sharing words of admiration. >> she was very generous, very -- i don't think she would be insulted but she reminded me of my mother in terms of the look of her and just the generosity. >> reporter: president biden becoming the 13th president to meet with the queen. here at nato, another major topic of discussion over the next couple of days will be afghanistan with the u.s. committed to withdrawing its troops by september. the president will have to address allies' fears that it is too quick and too soon and that it could destabilize that region. savannah. >> peter alexander leading us off from brussels, thank you. moving now to our nbc news worldwide exclusive with vladimir putin, the russian president sitting down with our senior international

correspondent, keir simmons, for a rare interview addressing a host of issues that will be on the table with president biden later this week. keir joins us now from moscow live. hey, keir, good morning. >> reporter: hey, hoda, good morning to you. president putin is here in moscow preparing to fly to geneva for that high-stakes meeting with president biden. we sat down with him inside the walls of the kremlin to press him on key issues, like human rights and cyberattacks. as he prepares to face off with vladimir putin this week, president biden saying he agrees with what russia's leader told us about relations with the u.s. >> i think he's right, it's a low point. >> reporter: top of the agenda for their high-stakes summit, cyber warfare. recent attacks on u.s. infrastructure, some linked to russian-based criminals have raised concerns over a new cold war. putin tells nbc news, russia is

not to blame. >> mr. president, are you waging a cyber war against america? >> translator: where is evidence? where is proof? it's becoming farcical. we know it well. we have been accused of all kinds of things, election interference, cyberattacks, so on and so forth, not once, not once, not one time did they bother to produce any kind of evidence or proof. just unfounded accusations. >> reporter: the u.s. intelligence community has produced evidence of russian hackers targeting the federal government and meddling in u.s. elections. and this year, the u.s. has seen multiple criminal ransomware attacks extorting millions of dollars. >> russian-speaking criminals is the allegation are targeting the american way of life, food, gas, water, hospitals, transports. why would you let russian-speaking criminals

disrupt your diplomacy? >> translator: you know, the simplest thing to do would be for us to sit down calmly and agree on joint work in cyberspace. we are willing to engage with international participants, including the united states. you are the ones who have refused to engage in joint work. >> reporter: the biden administration has been insisting russia should not harbor cyber criminals. the trump administration called russia's offer to talk disingenuous. the kremlin has been accused of violating existing international cyber agreements. now the russian leader admitting to nbc news he is concerned that the u.s. can target russia. >> translator: what people can be afraid of in america, the very same thing can be a danger to us. the u.s. is a high-tech country. nato has declared cyberspace an area of combat. that means they are planning something.

they are preparing something. so obviously this cannot but worry us. >> do you fear that american intelligence is deep inside russian systems and has the ability to do you a lot of damage? >> translator: i'm not afraid. but i bear in mind that it is a possibility. >> reporter: when president biden sits down with president putin, he's expected to raise the cases of two americans who the state department says are unfairly convicted in russia. >> paul whelan and trevor reed are two former marines. trevor reed is suffering from covid in prison. why don't you release them ahead of the summit? wouldn't that show good will? >> translator: i know that we have certain u.s. citizens who are in prison, have been convicted. but if one considers the number of russian federation citizens who are in u.s. prisons then these numbers don't even

compare. >> and on the prisoner swap question, is that something that you would consider? >> translator: yes. yes. yes, of course. >> reporter: russia has proposed a prisoner swap before. secretary of state blinken saying the americans are being held as political pawns. president putin insists he can work with biden on complicated issues and build a stable and predictable relationship. >> translator: let us sit down together, talk, look for compromise solutions that are acceptable for all the parties. that is how stability is achieved. >> president biden says one time when you met, you were inches away from each other and he said to you, i'm looking in your eyes and i can't see a soul. and you said, we understand each other. do you remember that exchange? >> translator: but i do not remember this particular part of our conversations to be honest

with you. he probably has a good memory. >> reporter: but the kremlin has been cracking down on political opponents like alexei navalny, a putin critic who was poisoned and is now in prison. president biden has vowed to raise navalny's case when they meet. >> a russian court has -- excuse me, i'm sorry. a russian court has just outlawed organizations connected to mr. navalny and literally every nonsystematic opposition figure is facing criminal charges. mr. president, it's as if dissent is simply not tolerated in russia anymore. >> translator: well, you are presenting it as dissent and intolerance towards dissent in russia. we view it completely differently. >> will you commit that you will personally ensure that alexei navalny will leave prison alive? >> translator: i proceed from the premise that the person that you have mentioned the same kind of measures will apply, not in any way worse than to anybody else who happens to be in

prison. >> his name is alexei navalny. people will note that you -- >> translator: i don't care, i don't care. >> -- have said he won't leave prison alive. >> reporter: for now both sides are downplaying how much progress can be achieved at this week's summit. and after the interview, guys, president putin continued the conversation with me off camera, leaning in, keeping eye contact, urging me to believe him. for example, that he believes that in the west they are funding opposition groups here in moscow. now, maybe that was the former kgb officer trying to use his powers of persuasion or maybe president putin is not just a threat but feels threatened. understanding who president putin is will be crucial for president biden when he sits down with him this week. guys. >> fascinating interview, keir simmons for us, thank you. >> that was a really interesting interview and actually he had some very choice words for trevor reed, who is one of the americans who is jailed in russia right now.

>> in fact coming up in our next half hour, one of the parents of the americans who could be involved in the potential prisoner swap right there, they'll join us live to respond to the russian president's suggestion. you can see more of keir's exclusive interview throughout the day on msnbc, nbcnews.com and tonight on "nightly news" with lester holt. now to that historic change in israel. benjamin netanyahu officially voted out, ending his 12-year reign as prime minister. what will that mean for the country's relationship with the u.s. moving forward? nbc's kelly cobiella joins us now from tel aviv. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning to you. yeah, israel is really waking up to a sea change in politics here. a new prime minister for the first time in over a decade. he is 49-year-old naftali bennett, a right-wing po night after what can only be

lawmakers thrown out for heckling and trying to disrupt bennett's speech. that vote to approve the government incredibly close. it came down to just one. the final vote 60-59 to approve this coalition. vice president biden was in touch with naftali bennett, the new prime minister, within moments of him being sworn in sending out a statement first and then a couple of hours later the two leaders on a phone call together. the white house readout of that phone call saying that the two agreed to consult closely on all matters related to regional security, including iran and on efforts to advance peace, security and prosperity for israelis and for palestinians. so a warm welcome from both president biden and secretary of state antony blinken to this new incoming government. as for benjamin netanyahu, the longest-serving prime minister

in israeli history, he is not going quietly. he again called this a dangerous government, said he's not leaving politics, vowed we will be back and also said he will work to bring down the government. savannah. >> >> kelly cobiella. i was going to say it's an end of an era, but perhaps not not if netanyahu has his way about it thank you very much for the update appreciate it. craig is off today and we have tom llamas joining us. you have the latest on the pandemic and a new vaccine. >> yes, some big headlines, good morning, guys. a new vaccine could soon be available to americans this morning novavax is releasing data from its clinical trials that appears to show it is highly effective and it comes on the heels of a key court ruling by a federal judge that makes covid vaccines mandatory for some workers this happened in texas and that's where our morgan chesky is live for us morgan, good morning. >> reporter: hey, tom, good morning. the vaccination rate may be slowing down but the effort to get more shots in arms picking up steam here in the u.s. and abroad president biden and other world

leaders pledging more doses to more countries in need and encouraging news from novavax whose data over their latest vaccine shows it koultdcould bee the newest tool in the fight against covid. this morning a new vaccine showing promising results. novavax releasing data from phase three clinical trials, saying its covid vaccine's efficacy reached 90% and is 100% effective in preventing moderate and severe disease, and even showed a 93% efficacy against virus variants, which could make the shot a good option for booster doses. >> the u.s. is going to need booster shots later this year and i think our vaccine will be very useful for that. >> reporter: novavax vials can also be stored in a regular refrigerator making them more accessible to low income countries. >> the world has to be vaccinated to stop the pandemic. our vaccine is one of the tools in that tool kit. >> reporter: the news comes as leaders at the g-7 summit presented a united front in the effort to end the pandemic in

2022, pledging 1 billion vaccines to poor countries over the next year. >> we've agreed to work together so that the world is better prepared to detect and deal with future pandemics, because there will be future pandemics. >> reporter: the group also issuing a call for a timely and transparent investigation of the origins of covid-19. meanwhile, over the weekend, a federal judge dismissed a case in texas where 117 employees of houston methodist sued over the hospital's vaccine mandate, requiring all employees to get the shot or get fired. the judge shooting down the lead plaintiff's claims of coercion comparing the vaccine mandate to forced medical experimentation during the holocaust >> you can compare this to the very early stages of nazi germany. >> that is a statement not to be taken lightly. are you sure you want to make it >> oh, yes 100%. >> reporter: the judge calling the comparison reprehensible writing the requirement is a choice made to keep staff, patients and their families

safer. a lawyer representing the employee says if needed, they'll appeal the decision as high as the u.s. supreme court now, as new vaccines become available, there's a question over whether potential boosters need to match your original shot, a study is looking at that with volunteers. they got the big three vaccines from the u.s., getting the moderna booster, the results not out just yet, but they could be in the next few weeks. hoda, tom, send it back to you. >> thanks so much for that. now let's get our first check of the weather mr. roker, did you have a good weekend? >> we had a little wet weather,a great weekend here in the northeast. a little wet weather out there you can see on the radar we've got showers and thunderstorms firing across the great lakes, also here into the northeast and parts of new england this is what we're going to be looking at as we move through. in fact we've got a risk of severe weather for 25 million people, mid-atlantic into the northeast, damaging winds, hail, tornado threat low but we'll keep an eye out on that. we'll watch a series of fronts

push through, that's going to be bringing some strong storms into the mid-atlantic tomorrow afternoon strong storms continue to develop with gusty winds, heavy rain. we're looking at anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of rain northeast to new england down to florida. we're talking upwards of 5 inches of rain and tracking the tropics. a 50% chance of development of a tropical system over the next five days off the southeast coast. we're also watching something down in the gulf, the development zone shows that we could be watching a couple of systems over the next five days as we develop. we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds she thought that squirrel on your brand-new at screen tv was an actual squirrel... leave it. purchase protection for what you didn't see coming one of the many things you can expect when you're with amex.

going. let's turn back to this week's high-stakes face-to-face between president biden and russian president vladimir putin. >> the families of two jailed americans in russia are hoping president biden will push for the release of their loved ones. putin just told nbc news in an exclusive interview he's open to a prisoner swap with the u.s. >> in a moment we'll talk to the parents of one of those men in russian custody. but first nbc's senior washington correspondent hallie jackson with the latest. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: hey, guys, good morning. this is possibly significant news but keep in mind that a potential prisoner swap brings up some pretty complicated questions for president biden. the u.s. believes that these men were wrongly imprisoned in the first place so why agree to a swap rather than demand their release? and importantly, can you really trust vladimir putin to follow through? with both sides agreeing the u.s./russian relationship is at its lowest point in years, russian president vladimir putin this morning opening the door to

a possible prisoner exchange in that exclusive interview with nbc's keir simmons >> paul whelan and trevor reed, there are two former marines trevor reed is suffering from covid in prison. why don't you release them ahead of the summit, wouldn't that show good will >> translator: i know that we have certain u.s. citizens who are in prison, have been convicted. but if one considers the number of russian federation citizens who are in u.s. prisons, then these numbers don't even compare. your guy, the marine, is just a drunk and a troublemaker as they say here, he got himself [ bleep ] faced on vodka and started to fight among other things, he hit a cop. >> so his family will find that incredibly distressing to hear you talk about him that way. >> translator: there is nothing offensive about it he got drunk on vodka and started a fight.

>> and on the prisoner swap question, is that something that you would consider are you looking to negotiate you're meeting with the president. >> translator: yes, yes, yes, of course. >> reporter: reed, a texas student, accused of assaulting a moscow police officer after a night of drinking in 2019. he said he doesn't remember what happened that night and denied the charges before being sentenced to nine years in russian prison last year >> this is clearly political. >> reporter: u.s. officials have called the evidence against reed preposterous reed was diagnosed with covid last month according to the u.s. embassy, which says russia is ignoring their demands for updates and phone calls. paul whelan is also imprisoned for a wedding, accused of being a spy, which he denies his brother has mixed feelings about a potential prisoner exchange. >> he is innocent. he was wrongly accused

we would rather just see the door open and him come out rather than some negotiated release of russian convicts. >> reporter: still, whelan's attorney telling reuters in february he was hopeful about negotiations, saying, quote, i think the american side has begun initiating talks, specifically under biden >> it could also be something of a gimmick from putin, you never know with him until you see the details. >> reporter: so given how much is on the agenda between president biden and president putin in just about 48 hours from now in geneva, will this issue, the releases of trevor reed and paul whelan, come up? the answer is yes, according to the secretary of state, who says that their arbitrary, unlawful detention needs to end guys, back to you. >> hallie jackson, thank you joining us now are trevor reed's parents, joey and paula reed who have been fighting for their son's release for more than two years. good morning to both of you. it's good to see you >> good morning. >> good morning, thank you >> you just heard what vladimir putin had to say about your son. you heard those words for the

very first time just a few moments ago when we aired them what is your reaction? >> i think on the first part of his response talking about paul whelan and our son, trevor reed, they both pleaded not guilty because they're innocent him referring to the number of russians in american prisons, he never mentioned anything about their innocence. we believe that many of the russians in american prisons pleaded guilty because they committed a crime. our son and paul whelan did not. >> right in trevor's case, witnesses, video evidence were ignored by the judge and he was given the longest sentence in modern russian history for that crime there was no one injured and there really was no crime. >> but to hear vladimir putin be so -- yeah, vladimir putin seemed so dismissive, almost glib and disparaging of your son. how did that sit with you? >> well, obviously the statemen

any negative comments about was very offensive and untrue. >> you know, we've never made any negative comments about president putin. we think that's a political issue and not for us but we find his false statements about our son surprising our question to president putin is why didn't you prove it the kangaroo court that they held, anyone who attended instantly could see that this was a sham and a fake and that my son was innocent. >> these have been difficult years, but in particular difficult weeks recently, after trevor was diagnosed with covid. you went weeks without any contact whatsoever do you have any update on his condition? have you been able to have any contact or any word from him >> no. we just know that he was sent there and we know he was sick for a week before because we were getting messages. then when he met with his attorneys on the 24th, you know, he still had a fever and had lost his sense of smell. yet the prison signed a note saying that he was healthy to

travel to court. then the next day notified the attorneys that you might have been exposed because he's positive for covid it took a week of the embassy and finally the lawyers making formal requests for covid. they wouldn't even give him a test for covid, which i think is pretty standard in their jails then once he had it, they isolated him and won't let the embassy speak with him the embassy contacts the jail, foreign ministry and everyone every day trying to make contact with trevor to actually find out his condition, and they have been denied over this, i don't know what it is, 18, 19-day period now >> so you have no idea -- >> also i'd like to. >> -- how he's doing >> no. not really, no we just know he had chest pain and cough and fevers and all of that but also one thing about the possible prisoner exchange >> yes. >> we're very happy to hear that president putin is open to a prisoner exchange and we hope that that's something that happens very soon because trevor and paul whelan both have been

there long enough considering that they're innocent of the charges against them >> and we don't care how he comes home if they want to exchange trevor for some criminals that were low-level criminals or whatever -- >> we're fine with that. we want our son home. >> our american prisons don't have to pay for their housing. send them home. >> and this is an important week obviously president biden and president putin will sit down face to face the administration has said trevor's case and paul whelan's case will come up. what do you expect from that meeting? do you expect and hope that president biden demands the release of your son? >> yeah, we're very hopeful. because the biden administration and secretary blinken have been very outspoken about our son which was a change, and we were very happy to see that andcommi. what we would say is of all the major issues between our countries, this prisoner exchange is probably the easiest

thing they can do. if they can accomplish anything in this summit, it would be this exchange >> we're very hopeful that this happens. >> joey and paula reed, parents, devoted parents to trevor, thank you so much for your time this morning. we really appreciate it. >> thank you >> thank you for having us >> all right, it's coming up on 7:39 just ahead alarming new video from a delta flight that sparked an immediate crackdown on bad passenger behavior >> ask you won't believe how frequently these incidents have been happening tom koscostello has the very lat right after this or any combinat. the way it should be. carmax. your mission: stand up to moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and take. it. on... with rinvoq. rinvoq a once-daily pill can dramatically improve symptoms... rinvoq helps tame pain,

i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv. more love, more adventure, more community. but with my hiv treatment, there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor and switched to fewer medicines with dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. with just 2 medicines in 1 pill, dovato is as effective as a 3-drug regimen... to help you reach and stay undetectable. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're

allergic to its ingredients or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor, as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. ask your doctor about dovato-i did.

the day can wait... enter the golden state, with real california dairy.

welcome back a new book is out this morning that shares memories of president george h.w. bush written by his long-time chief of staff, jean becker. >> it's giving a rare behind-the-scenes look of the ups and downs of bush's 25 years post-presidency. jenna sat down with jean to talk about it hi, jenna. >> i did, yeah jean, i've known her for years, since i was a little girl. she met my grandmother while working as a newspaper reporter during the 1988 election and then became my grandfather's

chief of staff after he left office in her book jean reveals after his loss to bill clinton, my grandfather rebuilt his life we shared some fond memories of him on the eve of what would have been his 97th birthday. jean becker spent nearly a quarter of a century as my grandfather's chief of staff, a role she took on after he lost his re-election to bill clinton in 1992. >> your grandfather was such an extraordinary man. what he did that first year is he just sort of took his time. your grandfather was not a quiet man. but for the first couple of months after he lost the election, he was much quieter than usual he just sort of eased his way back into life and then, i think, one day he woke up and thought i'm back and then we were off and running for 25 years >> jean was raised a democrat on a small farm in missouri so becoming one of the closest confidants to the 41st president was a rather unexpected ride.

>> could you have ever expected this unlikely coupling you working with my grandfather for all those years? >> it now seems surreal. you know, sometimes your grandfather said to me, jean, it's almost surreal that i was president of the united states he says it's hard to even remember all that. now i know exactly what he meant. i now think back about working for your grandparents and all of the things i got to do mikhail gorbachev once told me to shut up i'm oddly very proud of that as i point out in the book, tom selleck also kissed me i'm prouder of that. >> in her new book "the man i knew" jean gives us a glimpse into the man i knew, a devoted husband, a loving gampy and a proud father. >> i think one thing that i loved about gampy, you did too, he felt feelings he felt like it was okay to show how he felt. and i think there's something

almost modern about that, especially for a man that's supposed to be powerful. he led with love and with a gentleness and with a tear sometimes. >> and i love that he told young people that. it's okay to show what's in your heart. >> jean traveled all over the world with my grandfather, but she admits some of her most difficult days were dealing with the sometimes rambunctious grandchildren. >> there's an email that actually you wrote in 1997 that said we have grandkids eating things off trees i'm not sure what we were eating, but what kind of headaches did we all cause you >> i love when the family game to walkers point because your grandparents were so happy jenna, i don't want to hurt your feelings, but you all are a chaotic family and when the family was at walkers point, it was chaos. it was a fun chaos, but i would write emails to my family and the staff back in houston and

just say, oh, my god, pray for me >> what do you miss most about gampy? >> his sense of humor. his observations on life he just was a fun person to hang out with his eternal optimism. >> what were the last words that my gampy said to you >> sitting by his bedside holding his hand, he was somewhere else i had a little tickle in my throat and i think i did this, jenna. and his eyes flew open and he looked at me and he says, jean, are you okay and i loved it i loved it for two reasons one, he was dying. and he was worried about me. and number two, i do feel that question was bigger than the cough. i think he really was asking me are you okay and i was okay i was okay because i knew he was ready. he was ready to go join your grandmother.

he was at peace with his life. >> that was a beautifully poignant -- >> you know what, i was so surprised because i know jean so well and obviously i loved my grandparents so much that i thought i would know everything in this book but she said her favorite days was when they would go to the grocery stores in houston, texas, together and that one time they went, she was like i've got to get out of work early, it was almost christmas she wanted to wrap presents. they went to this new central market, it's a huge grocery store in houston and my grandparents just walked slowly around and my grandmother walked up with one sweet potato. she was like can i please go home the other thing she said is when my grandparents got sick, they would reserve two hospital rooms next to each other and that one time my grandmother was sick and she was in the hospital and jean was like, president bush, you have to comb your hair, you look terrible she was trying to make him look good

my grandmother opened her eyes and said, george, you're devilishly handsome. >> it's got to be so emotional for you. you know jean so well but to relive all these stories. >> well, i'm always happy to do it my grandfather would have turned 97 on saturday so i love to be able to share -- >> what kind of things were you guys eating off the trees? >> evidently it was something that looked as though it was a blueberry, yet it could have been poisonous >> grandkids. >> lucky us. jenna, we have more of this interview coming up in the fourth hour and jean's book of course is called "the man i knew." it's available right now. >> your grandfather famously went skydiving to celebrate his 75th, 80th, 85th and 90th birthday jenna, you're going to continue this beautiful tradition. >> yes. >> you're jumping out of the sky, are you >> i am jumping out of the sky i tried to get you to do it with me i jump out of the sky with the u.s. army on thursday. >> live on the show? >> live on the show. >> first time ever

>> no, i did it when i was 18. but the 18-year-old jenna is very different very different but is she really? >> deep down inside she's somewhere in there >> you still scream mommy loud. >> no, i tried coming up with a new code word because i just did not want to be bleeped out my mother would be dispoept -- disappointed >> we're going to be in delay, don't worry. >> definitely. jenna, thank you can't wait a little bit later this week. meantime, guys, father's day is sunday. if you need some good ideas good housekeeping is sharing this picks for dads who crave another day, another chance. it could be the day you break the sales record, or the day there's appointments nonstop. with comcast business, you get the network that can deliver gig speeds to the most businesses, and you can get the advanced cybersecurity solutions you need with comcast business securityedge. every day in business is a big day. we'll keep you ready for what's next. get started with a great offer, and ask how you can add comcast business securityedge. plus, for a limited time,ask how to get a $500 prepaid card when you upgrade. call today.

we went to ten cities in the first season and this season we're back on the road. >> it looks beautiful and colorful we're big "top chef" fans around here as you well know. what are you going to make this morning? >> we're going to make some scallops this is a beautiful summer dish that's so easy so in this bowl right here i just have some regular bread crumbs, some flour, some cayenne, a little bit of salt and some dried mango powder to give it some tartness to balance out the sweetness of the scallops if you don't have dry mango powder, just leave it out and still make this recipe you can use lemon pepper or sumac, again, you don't really -- it will still be beautiful. then you're just taking scallops i'm using sea scallops today because they're a little bigger. i'm heating some olive oil in a frying pan and just tossing these lightly in that flour and bread crumb mixture. >> we're showing the picture

>> how do you know -- how do you know when the scallops are done? it seems like that's a protein that you don't want to undercook or overcook. you have to nail it. >> it depends on the size but they usually just take three or four minutes on each side. you want them golden i tend to cook them on one side almost all the way and then just flip them over to brown the other side for about 90 seconds. some chefs don't even flip them over, but i like it to be caramelized. you don't want to crowd the pan. so basically like the bigger they are, the more time they take, but they shouldn't take any time at all, which is why i love shellfish like scallops or shrimp they're done in minutes and who wants to be by a hot stove in the summertime forever so all we're going to do is let that fry up and we'll make the salad or the little relish that goes on top of it. in this bowl you can see that i have peeled diced cucumber i like english or persian cucumber because they're less

seedy and less watery. we have some cherry tomatoes, some chopped fresh dill, a little bit of salt, a tiny pinch of brown sugar again, i love the combination of sweet and salty. and some lime juice. and that is all that's in this salad. it's so easy >> yeah. it looks healthy and delicious >> it's super light and healthy and delicious. and especially after i come home from a season of "top chef" and i want to lose the weight that i've gained, this is a great dish for that. >> padma, thanks so much. good morning, 8:56, i'm marcus washington. well, the plot thickens when it comes to tomorrow's vaccine lottery to celebrate california's full reopening. that's because the prizes are getting bigger. the third and final vax for a win draw includes ten people that will take home $1.5 million each, but now, several dream
