In a videoposted Feb. 9 on Instagram, the "Today" anchor said she wanted to share "a few thoughts as we enter into another week of this nightmare."

"We believe our mom is still out there," she said. "We need your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly, around the clock trying to bring her home, trying to find her. She was taken, and we don't know where, and we need your help."

Guthrie asked followers, even though those who do not live in Tucson, to contact law enforcement "if you see anything, if you hear anything, if there's anything at all that seems strange to you," adding, "We are at an hour of desperation, and we need your help."

The Pima County Sheriff's Office in Arizona received a 911 call reportingNancy Guthrie missing from her home outside Tucsonaround noon local time on Sunday, Feb. 1.

"However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated," Savannah Guthrie said. "We need to know without a doubt that she's alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please reach out to us."

Asecond video, posted on Feb. 5, featured only Savannah's brother Camron Guthrie, who said the family was still "waiting for contact" from their mother's kidnapper.

"Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you," he said in the short message. "We haven't heard anything directly. We need you to reach out, and we need a way to communicate with you so that we can move forward."

Ina third video, posted Feb. 7, Savannah Guthrie again spoke alongside her brother and sister. This video was posted one day after authorities said they were inspecting a "new message regarding Nancy Guthrie." No details about this latest message have been disclosed. Authorities also have not said if this message was written by the same person behind the previous notes.

"We received your message and we understand," Savannah Guthrie said in the Feb. 7 video. "We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay."

FBI special agent in charge Heith Janke previously confirmed that the FBI consulted with the Guthrie family on the release of their original video addressing their mother's kidnapper.

"While we advise and recommend from a law enforcement perspective, any action taken on any ransom is ultimately decided by the family," he said in a Feb. 5 briefing, adding that it's the "family's decision of what they film and what they put out."

• Alix Earle joined celebs like Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, and Jessica Alba on stage during his performance.

• Alix has responded to viewers who criticized her for being part of the performance, which largely featured Hispanic and Latine people, while remaining silent on ongoing ICE raids.

Alix Earleseems to be living her best life. After dancing with her rumored fling/former New England Patriots quarterback,Tom Brady, at a pre-Super Bowl Party on February 7, the social media personality brought her moves toBad Bunny's halftime showon Super Bowl Sunday.

As the Grammy winner performed his reggaeton hit, "Yo Perreo Sola," Alix joined a bunch of Hollywood's Latine powerhouses, including Karol G,Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Young Miko, andJessica Alba. However, viewers were quick to point out that she seemed out of place in the Grammy winner's Puerto Rican-inspired casita during the halftime show.

In the comments section of her TikTok vlog recapping the viral moment, people criticized Alix for taking up space during the performance, as she has seemingly remained silent on recentICE raidsthat have taken the U.S. by storm.

"The audacity to say yes to being on that stage while staying silent… be so for real," one person wrote, while another chimed in, "Okay girl, now use your platform." Others even accused Alix of being MAGA, though she has not publicly disclosed her political party affiliation.

Another person slid into Alix's comments section to note that she doesn't align with Bad Bunny's "message" of spreading love and uplifting immigrants, writing, "You've never once used your platform and voice for the messages Bad Bunny sends. This is unbelievable and undeserved."

Of course, Alix didn't take the comment lightly and directly responded, "I have 💗 and being invited to do this was such an incredible experience and so special."

She doubled down on that same message on her TikTok Story, writing, "It was such an honor to experience such a special and powerful performance."

Before the Super Bowl, theDancing With the Starsrunner-up had previously shared resources to help those affected by ICE raids after Alex Pretti and Renée Good's wrongful deaths in Minneapolis last month.

Iran

Ali Larijani, a former Iranian Parliament speaker who now serves as the secretary to the country's Supreme National Security Council, likely will carry his country's response to the initial round of indirect talks held last week in Muscat with the Americans.

Larijani is due to meet with Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi, the chief intermediary in the talks, andOman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, the state-run IRNA news agency reported. IRNA described the talks as "important," without elaborating on what message Larijani will carry.

Iran and the U.S. held new nuclear talks last week in Oman. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, speaking Sunday to diplomats at a summit in Tehran, signaled that Iran would stick to its position that it must be able to enrich uranium — a major point of contention with U.S. President Donald Trump, whobombed Iranian atomic sitesin June during the 12-day Iran-Israel war. That war disrupted earlier rounds of nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to travel to Washington this week, with Iran expected to be the major subject of discussion, his office said.

The U.S. has movedthe aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, ships and warplanes to the Middle East to pressure Iran into an agreement and have the firepower necessary to strike the Islamic Republic should Trump choose to do so. Already, U.S. forces shot down a drone they said got too close to the Lincoln and came to the aid of a U.S.-flagged ship that Iranian forces tried to stop in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf.

The U.S. Transportation Department's Maritime Administration issued a new warning Monday to American vessels in the strait to "remain as far as possible from Iran's territorial sea without compromising navigational safety." The strait, through which a fifth of all oil traded passes, is in Iranian and Omani territorial waters. Those traveling into the Persian Gulf must pass through Iranian waters.

In a report provided to The Associated Press ahead of its release by the office of Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Monday, the authors say the CFPB harmed consumers by abandoning major consumer protections, stalling investigation and dismissing a number of lawsuits.

"Trump's attempt to sideline the CFPB has cost families billions of dollars over the last year alone," said Warren, the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, as well as one of the bureau's fiercest defenders in Congress.

The administration and congressional Republicans have argued that the bureau needed to be downsized and reined in because it had grown too large and overreaching.

The administration assumed control of the CFPB in February 2025 after Rohit Chopra, the bureau's director under President Joe Biden, resigned, leaving White House budget director Russell Vought as acting director. Since then, few new investigations have been opened,many employees have been ordered not to workand several pending enforcement actions against financial companies have been dropped.

The White House announced in April that it wanted to reduce the Bureau's staff from 1,689 positions to 207 positions, but that move has beenblocked by courts. Even if the employees' union does succeed in its lawsuit against Vought, Congress cut the bureau's budget by roughly half in Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act. It's unlikely that all of those employees will still have their jobs once all litigation is settled.

"The CFPB may still be standing, but it's essentially on life support," said Chuck Bell, advocacy program director at Consumer Reports, in a statement. Consumer Reports put out its own data Monday that arrives at similar conclusions as Warren's office.

A spokeswoman for the CFPB did not respond to a request for comment.

One form of relief the report said consumers were denied was a limit on overdraft fees, which the Biden CFPB finalized in 2024 but the Republican-led Congress overturned last year. That would have saved consumers $5 billion a year, according to the Bureau's estimates at the time.

The bureau also tried to cap the amount of money consumers pay to credit card companies when they pay their bills late. That would have saved Americans roughly $10 billion, according to Bureau estimates when the rule was proposed. The regulation was blocked by a federal court last year, and the bureau, under the control of the Trump administration, decided not to fight the lawsuit in court.

Another roughly $4 billion in consumer relief would have come from a series of lawsuits or settlements that were dismissed by the bureau under Acting Director Vought. For example, the bureau sued Capital One in January 2025 for $2 billion, days before President Trump was to be sworn into office, alleging that Capital One has misrepresented the interest rate paid on its savings accounts to customers. That lawsuit was dismissed.

The bureau also sued Early Warning Systems, the company that runs the money transfer service Zelle, in December 2024 for $870 million alleging that the EWS and the banks that operate Zelle were negligent in protecting consumers from fraud and scams. That lawsuit was also dismissed last year.

There's also been a slowdown in the number of complaints resolved by the bureau as well. The CFPB runs its own consumer complaint database, where a consumer can allege wrongdoing by their bank or financial services company and the bureau will act as intermediary between the consumer and financial company to resolve the complaint. Under the Biden CFPB, roughly half of all consumer complaints were resolved with relief for the consumer, whereas under the Trump CFPB, that figure has dwindled to less than 5%.

The independent Government Accountability Office made public a separate report Monday outlining its attempts to keep track of the Trump administration's reorganization and restructuring of the CFPB. The GAO said it received no cooperation from the White House or the bureau, and the GAO needed to rely on mostly public records to produce its report. In a response to the GAO, the CFPB cited ongoing litigation between its employees and management as the primary reason why it could not cooperate.

The GAO's report largely matches what has been documented in news reports that the bureau has cancelled dozens of enforcement actions against alleged wrongdoers, unwound rules and regulations that previous bureau management said would protect consumers or bring them financial relief. There have been even rules and regulations enacted during President Trump's first term that have been targeted by the bureau's current management.

Mark Paoletta, the bureau's chief legal officer and effectively its deputy director under Vought, called the GAO's report "biased and flawed" in a letter to the agency did not raise any specific issues with its conclusions, other than to say the GAO was working with incomplete information.

The pilot landed the single-engine plane in the middle of highway 369 in northeast Georgia after the aircraft experienced a mechanical failure, Gainesville Police Department Capt. Kevin Holbrook said. One of the plane's fuel tanks crashed through the rear of an SUV and injured a motorist.

Holbrook said "nothing but luck" prevented the crash from becoming a "mass casualty" event.

"This is a large commercial area where a number of restaurants are just within feet of the road," the captain told USA TODAY. "We're very, very fortunate we didn't have a mass casualty situation."

Videoof the emergency landing shows the plane hit the ground in the middle of the roadway and twist at high speed into traffic. Photossharedby police show the single-engine plane stopped between a Pizza Hut and Golden Corral.

Federal Aviation Administration officials are on the scene investigating the crash, according to police. The road remained closed as of about 5:30 p.m. local time. The incident was reported to police at about noon.

The crash comes just months after a United Parcel Service cargo planecrashed into an industrial sitein Kentucky, leaving 15 people dead.

Was anyone hurt?

Two motorists were taken to the hospital in connection with the incident, local authorities said. The pilot and a co-pilot onboard the plane were uninjured, according to Holbrook.

Where did the crash happen?

The crash happened near the intersection of Browns Bridge Road and Pearl Nix Parkway in Gainesville, about 50 miles northeast of Atlanta, police said.

According to Holbrook, the plane went down on a stretch of six-lane highway that serves about 100,000 vehicles daily.

Gainesville, a city ofnearly 50,000, is the seat of Hall County.

Where was the plane going?

The plane was departing from Gainesville regional airport, about a mile away from the scene, according to Holbrook.

The police captain said the pilot made an emergency landing after realizing the mechanical failure and determining the plane would not be able to return to the airport.

Watch the crash

Video and photos of the crash show the damage that happened as a result.

The front of the plane appeared dented in footage, and a propeller blade was twisted. An SUV in one of the photos from the scene had its front bumper knocked off.

ABC News shared footage of the crash on social media.

Ross "The Boss" Friedman has been diagnosed withamyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS).

The founding member of the rock band The Dictators and heavy metal band Manowar, 72, was diagnosed with the nervous system disease after several months of various symptoms.

"It's difficult to know what lies ahead, and it crushes me not to be able to play guitar, but the outpouring of love has been so, so strong," Friedman said in a statement.

Lorne Thomson/Redferns

"I'm absolutely blown away by the love and support from family, friends and fans. I love you all," he continued.

Friedman, before his official diagnosis, experienced weakness in his hands and legs.

A press release stated that the rocker had a series of "very minor strokes" that were thought to be the cause of his symptoms. However, dietary changes, exercises and physical therapy "did nothing to slow the progression or increase his strength."

ALS affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, according toMayo Clinic. The disease, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, causes loss of muscle control.

There is no cure for ALS and it is ultimately fatal.

The New York City native has also played in the bands Shakin' Street, Death Dealer, The Spinatras and The Brain Surgeons.

He formed Ross The Boss Band in 2009, and was inducted into the Metal Hall of Fame in 2017.

Friedman has contributed to several albums, includingThe Dictators Go Girl Crazy,Manifest DestinyandBattle Hymns. Ross the Boss Band released theirLegacy of Blood, Fire & Steelcompilation album in 2023, followed by their single "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" in 2025.
