good morning everyone. welcome to "today" on a saturday morning. i'm lester holt. >> i'm erica hill alongside dylan dreyer and jeb hill who is with us this morning. >> about the length of two football fields, was it a 40-foot gap here? >> i think 25 feet. >> the lowest point 15 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 two had to to worry about. >> apparently he is practicing and this is a simulation and made it only 50% of the time. >> those are great ops going in. >> 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 will talk about this

incredible feat later on and we wanted to show you bait of it to get things 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. >> reporter: here on xcapitol hill as they tried 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 not sitting well with house republicans who want to see changes to the law. president obama issued this warning to house republicans in congress. >> my message to congress is this -- do not shut down the government, do not shut down the economy, pass a budget on time, pay our bills on time, refocus on the everyday concerns of the american people. >> reporter: so house republicans have a meeting today

as a conference. they are going to try to figure out some sort of possible compromise, but, as of right now, it looks like they are going to try to change the bill that came over from the senate, attack the president's health care law some in way or do something to change it up. that will not sit well as democrats who do not want any changes to the clean government funding law. as we move forward and get close to the midnight deadline, the threat of a government shutdown heightens. i talked to one gop aide this morning who says they think more likely than not we are preparing for the worst and if that happens, you will see federal workers furloughed, national parkses will be closed, as well as pay to troops overseas stopped. a lot of issues and a lot of people on capitol hill want to avoid, but right now the partisanship is so high, there's no way to see how we don't get at least to the brink of a shutdown. guys? >> luke russert for us this morning, thanks. john harwood is cnbc chief washington correspondent.

an aide telling luke this morning they are preparing for the worse. a in a couple of 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 strum 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 ni t night. >> i bring up again senator kto coburn. he was in the house in the 90s when 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 for sure not shoot this

hostage. in turn, could republicans be shooting themselves in the foot? >> 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 of the zeal of this very 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 demand, 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" kit. i bet there will be is "saturday night live" kit tonight on it.

>> a good promo for that, john. john harwood, appreciate your insight. history was made on friday at the oval office. president obama taking a phone call from iran's president rouhani. they spoke on 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. forp 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: he says the president lasted 15 minutes and after rouhani turned down a handshake from the president at the u.n. this week. after conversations between secretary of state 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 reachin 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 are not going to do so. >> reporter: it's more than 30 years since top level talks between the united states and iran dating back to president

jimmy carter before iran's resolution and the american hostage crisis which lasted more 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 trip. accused of hatching a plan to kill an american drug agent

in africa. prosecutors accuse him of being a contract killer and say he enlisted other former soldiers to help. our justice correspondent pete williams has more. >> reporter: federal prosecutors says joseph hunter has spent the past eight years out of the military arranging for murders. he was arrested friday in thailand accused of hiring a team to kill a dea agent in africa. >> bone chilling allegations in today's indictment read like they were ripped from the pages of a tom clancy novel. >> reporter: prosecutors says hunter, nicknamed rambo, hired four soldiers one from the united states and one from poland and two from germany. court documents say hunter met with two men he thought were from a columbia cocaine cartel but who were actually undercover informants for the dea. hunters launched a global operation sending members of his team to the bahamas and meeting with the team in thailand and

plotting to kill a drug agent and another man they were told was an informant and sending two team members to liberia on wednesday to kill the agent. one of them was recorded saying, actually, for me, that's fun. i love this work. they were arrested when they landed. they called murders for hire bonus work and said they need a total of 800,000 dollars. >> these professional killers develop plans to use automatic weapons and silencers and masks and detailed escape routes and cover stories to make their murders look like random violence on the streets. >> reporter: hunter and the others all now under arrest and face charges that could bring life in prison. for "today," pete williams, nbc news, washington. just story that is in awe over that. we want to get a check of the rest of the this morning's top stories. >> craig melvin is here with that. >> good morning. a dramatic month of diplomatsy leads to a unanimous vote from the u.n. security

going to be one of those storm systems that produces several inches of rainfall. you can see here that we do have the possibility perhaps picking up up to 7 to 10 inches of rain right along the immediately coastline itself but not just the rain, the wind on top of that. in some of the highest good saturday morning, everybody. i'm storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell. plenty of sunshine as the sun is just now coming up on our eastern sky. temperatures in the middle and upper 50s to right at 60 degrees right now at national airport downtown. it's going to be a nice day today as we see our temperatures rise from 50s now into the 70s by later on this afternoon. partly to mostly sunny today. high temperatures right at 70s in hagerstown, mid 70s in washington and low.

dare devil jeb corliss making history with a jump out of the a helicopter into a wing suit and fly through a crack in the mountain. he is in china this morning where that jump just happened. ian, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. i can tell you this was spectacular even by his dizzying standards. all the more so because it looked like it wouldn't happen today. the weather was too bad. the mountains were shrouded in clouds. the wind was particularly whipping those mountains. we thought it wouldn't happen. so did he. but then the weather cleared late this afternoon and up he went in the helicopter soaring above those three towering peaks above that narrow crack which was his target. he launched himself out of that helicopter, through that crack which is only 60 feet wide at the top and 15 wide at the 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 than three decades ago. >> he didn't have a lot of money when he first retired but the cds were paying 17% which is not

bad. what do we have now? 0.25? it's like nothing. >> reporter: the 2012 survey found fewer than half of americans age 50 to 70 were confident they would be able to retire. the biggest worries? low interest rates on savings and stock market losses and a drop in real estate. >> you look at how much your assets will generate in terms of income. >> reporter: the levines have turned to a financial planner who helped them cut spending and eliminate credit card debt. >> if people on not spending they would be doing much better. >> reporter: the levines enjoy their jobs but have a new retirement goal. >> i'm working four more years and when i'm 70, i will be done. >> reporter: how confident are you you will be able to do it comfortably? >> i don't know. i hope we will be okay. we're doing everything we can, but it's a big unknown and it's scary. are you ready? >> reporter: the payoff is

clear -- less time at work, more time with the grandkids. for "today," john yang, nbc news, north brook, illinois. so what can you do if you're worried about your retirement cnbc sharon eppson is here to help. the recession, people lost their savings and maybe lost their jobs. was there also some bad retirement planning along the way? >> there was likely. and that is that they did not save enough along the way. they were under saving and then also the fear of what was happening doing drg that recession caused a lot of people to pull out and pull out at the wrong time, missing the market gains that we have seen recently. >> what is the most common mistake that people make in their retirement planning? >> they do not save enough. they are spending too much and not putting enough was he faway 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.

i'm terry mcauliffe, candidate for governor, and i sponsored this ad. for 30 years i've worked as an obgyn, my job is to protect the health of women. so i'm particularly offended by ken cuccinelli. cuccinelli wants to make all abortion illegal ... ... even in cases of rape and incest. ... even to protect a woman's health. i want a governor who's focused on schools and creating jobs, not someone who wants to do my job. who's ken cuccinelli to interfere in the lives of women across virginia?

helping to help our veterans make the transition between our wounded warriors as they return to civilian life. >> dylan spent time with folks around the american vet dogs, an

organization that trained dogs with disabled veterans. >> this is an eye opening experience spending time with them. it's more than a new friend for these vets. these dogs become an actual member of their family. >> show your pretty smile. >> reporter: it's the lingering toll of war. veterans of iraq and afghanistan returning home wounded in action or suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and sometimes even both. >> i spent 22 years, 4 months, 7 days in the military. when we're back here in the united states, you would think it wouldn't hit you but it's a full-blown panic attack. >> reporter: the past decade a program named american vet dogs have placed service dogs with 300 of those wounded warriors. companions like harry and others are paired with veterans who are blind or who have other physical or emotional disabilities like seizures.

crurster does what for you? >> he's a seizure alert dog. >> reporter: his xan can sense what other people can't and as he shows us here he is trained to bark in case of an emergency. >> he's like a god-send. >> reporter: personalized to support each soldier's exact needs. after a year and a half of socialization and skill training it's time to go on duty. what are the things these dogs are trained to do? >> dogs can push buttons to help open doors, they can brace if somebody is having trouble getting up and down the stairs and they retrieve all kinds of items. >> reporter: this does not come cheap. from birth, it costs $50,000 to breed, raise, and train each dog. the service men and women who receive a vet dog don't pay a penny. well jones is the ceo of american vet dogs. >> our mission is to improve the quality of life and, you know, 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 aig name. >> i love the organizations have come and found the ways to address our service men and women's needs.

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. back to you. >> gabe gutierrez this morning, thanks. time for another check of the weather. dylan is outside with the crowd.

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. every day, dahnica wishes she could take back one terrible night.
