this morning on "today's take," khloe kardashian opens up about lamar, caitlyn and her famous family. then a new movie that's getting a lot of award season buzz. we'll cut the calories from your favorite thanksgiving dishes in our 16 to 16 challenge. all that and more coming up now. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today's take," with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> welcome to "today." it's thursday morning, november 19th, 2015. i'm willie along with al, natalie and tamron.

we begin again this morning in paris with major news about the alleged leader of the attacks last friday. keir simmons is there in paris for us. what's the latest? >> good morning. abdelhamid abaaoud, this guy was a ruthless terrorist, a poster boy for isis. he'd post pictures of himself online with dead bodies in syria. he took a 13-year-old relative, allegedly, with him to syria. he is the mastermind behind, the linchpin behind the series of terrorist attacks, including the massacre here in paris. it took the french authorities until today to confirm they had killed him. they had to use fingerprints to be sure because of the scale of that fire fight in the third floor apartment yesterday in the saint-denis area of paris. 5,000 rounds were fired. it's clear abaaoud did everything he could to try to

we know that he had bragged in the past about being able to get to europe, willie. he's said in the isis magazine earlier this year, my name and picture was all over the news. still, i was able to stay in the homeland and plan attacks against them, then leave safely. what is really, really going to worry the security and intelligence services, willie, is that if he did manage to do that in the past, it looks as if he managed to do it again, despite being a wanted man. how did this man travel to the capital of france and launch this attack, despite the fact it was known he was an isis fanatic and murderer? investigation. keir, thank you very much. new video from daily mail.com. video from cameras inside one of the cafes that was targeted in friday's attack. to watch. we don't show you the worst of it, but you get the idea.

isis also has released a nearly five-minute long propaganda video that shows images of times square. they were not recent images. they've been used in previous videos. bill de blasio saying no credible or specific threats to new york. macy's say extensive security will be in place for the parade. millions of people will be watching around the world. you'll see more security around that parade a week from today. what's become an ongoing concern here in this country and abroad, as well, is the syrian refugee crisis. also, because he mentioned that abaaoud, the mastermind, had gotten into paris as a known mastermind of these kinds of attacks from syria, he had gotten into paris. new nbc news surveymonkey poll shows 56% of the american public disapprove of allowing more

syrian refugees here into this country. one of the terrorists, as we have known and talked about since friday, had a syrian passport on them, which has sparked a lot of the backlash it it -- and the number of governors refusing syrian refugees refugees into their state has grown. we're hearing more and more about how this alleged attack was carried out and learning more about the details. there is a photo that has surfaced, as well. this is isis publishing in their own propaganda magazine. a soda can and a detonator. they claim it's this kind of device, this homemade bomb, that took down that russian plane last month, killing 224 people. it's impossible to validate the photo, but it appears it's a soda can, as tom costello reported earlier, that was cut in half, packed with plastic explosives, and put back together again.

looking at that, those are the components, the detonator and the triggering mechanism, that would be components that could be capable of being a bomb. experts here at home say the tsa checkpoints, explosive detection systems, could have caught a similar device. you check your bags, scan them through. the scanners at the parpt airports would be able to detect explosives. however, what they can't detect, one of the big security gaps, if this is a soda can, the real concern is, people internally working at the airports, catering on those carts. if something like that could get through the system, that's the real concern now. i always say, when i come out of the baggage claim area, nobody is checking bags. you see people come up -- drivers coming in to get rides. they come right into airports and nobody is checking who these people are as they're coming in to get their pick-ups. they could easily place something on a carousel.

looking at the last point of entrance or exit from the airport is right there, the baggage claim area. it scares me every night. >> security experts all say you can do everything exactly right. the terrorist only needs to get it right one time. >> exactly. >> that's what we've seen in paris, sadly, on friday, multiple times. they were able to. i hate to use the word, get it right, but that's what they did. it takes one. when you see the can, the catering and other avenues, going back to jeff's report, they had a box cutter, producer from nbc, got on a box cutter, knife. while the tsa says it would have been detected, it's not 100%. we saw that yesterday in jeff rossen's report. >> you see the cargo areas, also the catering, people who work at the airport. >> the missing -- we had the report last week on the number of employees whose badges are missing, 1,000, floating around

somewhere for an individual to do dubious things with. >> how rudimentary these can be. if this brought down a plane. it's a soda can. 9/11 was box cutters. doesn't take a lot to bring a plane down. >> all it takes is having that device right near sort of the fuselage area. once you create a crack in an airplane, the whole thing goes. >> man. we're going to change gears right now. this is interesting. we always like hearing about homes that are for sale, unique homes. there's a privately owned underground bunker that just hit the market in georgia. >> how much, al? >> $17.5 million. >> wow! >> willing to negotiate? >> not much of a view there, right? . it's not a room, it's a view. >> listed by harry norman realtors. built 45 feet underground on more than 20 acres. underground, so you can't see it. it was built in 1969.

>> renovated a couple years ago. >> modern kitchen. >> 12 bedrooms, 12 baths. here's the selling point, can blast. three foot thick walls. >> the family living underground and comes back up -- >> with brendan frazier. >> right. >> blast from the past. that. >> similar. >> underground. >> zombies are coming after us, i know where i'm going. >> we all chip in, you know, get a bunch of people. >> in georgia, right? >> it's where they filmed "walking dead." >> if the zombies are coming. something to bring a smile to your face. jimmy fallon has the whisper challenge. the guest says something to them and they have to guess what you're saying. blasting music. one couple tried it with their parents.

they had some -- i don't want to give away too much. just look at it. >> hyper. >> i'm pregnant. >> keep saying it. keep saying it. >> you're going to be -- yeah, you're going to be grandparents. >> keep saying it. >> you're going to be a grandparent. >> shorts? shorts? >> you're going to be a grandparent. >> do you want me to what? you are going -- >> to. >> to. >> be. >> be. you are going to be -- >> you are going to be an -- >> be a. >> and what? >> you are going to be a -- >> i'm going to behave? >> grandfather. >> i'm a father? >> grandfather. >> great father. >> grandfather. >> yes. >> i'm going to be a >> yes. grandfather? i'm going to be a grandfather? i'm going to be a grandfather? we're going to be grandparents! >> she got it right off the bat.

she was letting him have his fun. >> adorable. >> great. if you haven't seen that, they're pumping music in their ears and trying to read the lips. >> amazing. >> very nice. >> i love it. al, how about a look at the weather? >> we have a storm system that's going to be very interesting to watch. coming in from the pacific northwest. as it does, it's going to be meeting a lot of cold air comes out of canada. as it does, we are going to watch this system make its way across the plains starting tomorrow, on into saturday and sunday. it's a fast-moving storm. very clipper-like. we'll be watching this. this will be the first significant snow through the midwest and plains. we already have winter storm watches for milwaukee, des moines, rockford, illinois. look at the snowfall amounts. out west, upwards of one to two feet. as you go to omaha, cedar rapids, west of chicago, some areas could pick up a foot of snow.

taking a look at the headlines just in time for the busy holiday travel season. thousands of airport workers went on strike wednesday night at some of the busiest hubs in the country, including here in new york, boston, chicago and philadelphia. union leaders say the strike is expected to last through today. workers are seeking a minimum wage of $15 an hour and the right to join a union. the airlines say they don't expect travelers will be impacted. a state judge in san francisco ordered a woman to honor an agreement she signed with her husband while they were married to destroy five frozen embryos if they got divorced. the ex-husband says he is worried, in part, that his former wife could use any children resulting from the

embryos to take financial advantage of him. the woman, a 46-year-old cancer survivor, argues that the embryos are her last chance to have biological children because the cancer made it risky for her to become pregnant. more evidence this morning about how changing sleep schedules may affect your health. researchers from the university of pittsburgh monitor the activity of 450 adults one week. people whose sleep schedules vary vastly on their free days were more likely to be overweight or pre-diabetes and cles trom. cholesterol. this is a day when smokers are encouraged to kick the habit. a combination of medications and the health benefits begin 12 hours after quitting, the carbon monoxide level drops to normal. two weeks later, lung function increases.
