Savannah Guthrie made a poignant appeal this past Mother’s Day, as the search for her mother, Nancy Guthrie, continues to unfold.

Through a heartfelt Instagram post, the “Today” show anchor shared a touching video montage of cherished moments featuring her mother, accompanied by a plea for public assistance.

“Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie — your absence is felt in every breath we take. We are relentless in our search for you. Our hearts won’t find peace until you’re home,” Savannah expressed. “We need help. Someone holds the key to unlocking this mystery.”

She further urged, “Dial 1800CALLFBI. Anonymity is assured, and the reward is still on offer. Continue to pray. Help us bring her back.”

Savannah Guthrie’s husband, Michael Feldman, also paid tribute, posting a photo of his wife holding their two children and calling her the “strongest person” he knows.

“Surrounding you with love on Mother’s Day,” Feldman added, along with heart and broken heart emojis.

Support quickly poured in from friends and colleagues. Former “Today” show co-host Hoda Kotba commented, “Holding you,” along with a heart emoji.

“Today” show lifestyle contributor Jill Martin wrote, “Redefines strongest,” with a heart emoji.

Meanwhile, authorities say the investigation into the disappearance of Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, is ongoing.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told Fox News Digital on Friday that progress is being made nearly 100 days after the 84-year-old vanished from her home in Arizona’s Catalina Foothills.

Nancy Guthrie is believed to have been abducted at around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 1.

In March, Savannah Guthrie spoke publicly about the ordeal, describing her family’s pain.

“Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony, we are in agony,” she told Hoda Kotb at the time.

There’s growing concern that artificial intelligence (AI) could eventually disrupt the commercial real estate landscape, potentially causing significant upheaval. However, for now, AI seems to be fueling the already bustling real estate market in Manhattan.

The anxiety stems from the possibility that AI might lead to widespread job cuts, thereby reducing the demand for office spaces—a scenario some have dubbed a real estate “apocalypse.”

Yet, recent developments paint a different picture. When Harvey AI, a company providing AI solutions to law and professional firms, expanded its footprint at One Madison in March, SL Green CEO Marc Holliday highlighted this as proof against the narrative that AI is diminishing the workforce in New York City.

Recent announcements have further supported this view. In a significant move underscoring AI’s influence in real estate, the Durst Organization and the Port Authority revealed that Norm AI, a legal and compliance firm, has secured most of the upper floors at 1 World Trade Center. This development has pushed the building’s occupancy rate to 97%.

In another noteworthy deal, San Francisco-based Anthropic, known for its controversial chatbot Claude, is reportedly close to finalizing a lease for the entire 365,000-square-foot space at 330 Hudson St., owned by AEW Capital Management, according to the Commercial Observer. This is a substantial increase from Anthropic’s current 15,500 square feet in the city. It seems the feared real estate apocalypse is far from reality.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced on Sunday that it is investigating an incident involving a Frontier Airlines aircraft that resulted in a fatal collision with a pedestrian during takeoff at Denver International Airport.

According to the airport’s social media update, the plane, which was headed from Denver to Los Angeles International Airport, reported the tragic collision at approximately 11:19 p.m. on Friday.

Following the incident, passengers were evacuated using emergency slides and then transported to the terminal by bus. An airport representative confirmed that 12 passengers sustained minor injuries, with five individuals requiring hospital treatment.

Passengers raised concerns about the evacuation process, citing delays in disembarking the smoke-filled aircraft and being left in the cold on the tarmac. Video footage showed some individuals descending the slides with their carry-on luggage.

NTSB spokesperson Sarah Taylor Sulick stated early Sunday that the agency is collecting information on the evacuation to assess whether it warrants a safety investigation. Further details are expected to be released in the coming hours.

Frontier Airlines didn’t respond early Sunday to a request for information about the evacuation.

The person, who authorities have still not identified, was hit two minutes after jumping the fence and crossing the runway. The person is not believed to be an airport employee.

“We’re stopping on the runway,” the pilot tells the control tower according to the site ATC.com. “We just hit somebody. We have an engine fire.”

The pilot tells the air traffic controller they have “231 souls” on board and that an “individual was walking across the runway.”

The air traffic controller responds that they are “rolling the trucks now” before the pilot tells the tower they “have smoke in the aircraft. We are going to evacuate on the runway.”

Frontier Airlines said in a statement that flight 4345 was the one involved in the collision and that “smoke was reported in the cabin and the pilots aborted takeoff.” It was not clear whether the smoke was linked to the collision.

The airline said the plane was carrying 224 passengers and seven crew members.

“We are investigating this incident and gathering more information in coordination with the airport and other safety authorities,” the airline said.

Passengers said panic took hold on the flight after an engine caught fire and the cabin began filling with smoke.

“Honestly, I thought I was going to die,” passenger Mohamed Hassan told Colorado’s 9NEWS.

“A lot of people next to me were screaming and crying. I just closed my eyes,” he said. “At that time, you’re not really thinking of anything, you know? Because we were just about to take off and I heard that boom, so I wasn’t sure what happened. I just thought something really, really bad happened.”

Passenger Nikil Thalanki told local media outlets that he felt “this jerk” as the plane was about to take off, adding that it felt like the wheels had left the ground but then came back down.

“There was fire on the engine. There was lots of sparks that are happening. Immediately came to a stop,” Thalanki said. “As soon as we saw the sparks on the flight, smoke filled the cabin completely. It was super hard to breathe.”

Kimberly Randle said passengers were panicking and desperate to get off the aircraft.

“In a few minutes, they finally opened the door. People were running to get out of the plane,” he said. “It was chaos everywhere.”

The NTSB has for years expressed concerned about evacuations, especially passengers leaving with their carry-ons. In an April report on the evacuation aboard a United Airlines flight at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the NTSB described a troubling scene.

Passengers were evacuated via slides and stairs last year from the jetliner after an engine problem during takeoff caused smoke and fire on the right wing.

Despite the flight attendant telling passengers to remain seated, several began shouting, “fire on the engine, let me get out!” That trigged “widespread panic” and prompted many passengers to get up and start retrieving their belongings. Some climbed over seats and began obstructing the aisle.

Three large men insisted the evacuation occur, pushing past a flight attendant and going down a slide before it had fully deployed – causing it to deflate and become unusable.

“Cabin crew training emphasizes assertive command presence and passenger control during evacuations; however, this event demonstrates how rapidly escalating passenger behavior can affect evacuation dynamics even in the absence of confirmed fire or smoke conditions,” according to the report.

The incident in Denver came a day after a Delta Air Lines employee was killed while on the job at the Orlando International Airport. In a statement, the airline said the employee was killed Thursday night without providing details of the incident or the name of the employee.

“We are focused on extending our full support to family and taking care of our Orlando team during this difficult time,” the airline said. “We are working with local authorities as a full investigation gets underway to determine what occurred.”

AP reporter John Raby contributed from Charleston, West Virginia.

The acting director of the CDC has made a decisive statement concerning the cruise ship affected by hantavirus, emphasizing that “this is not COVID” to alleviate public anxiety, especially as American passengers prepare to return to the U.S. in the coming days.

Jay Bhattacharya, the Acting Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, assured CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday morning that the hantavirus outbreak will not escalate into the next global pandemic.

“This is not COVID, Jake, and we don’t want to treat it like COVID,” Bhattacharya stated firmly.

He continued, “We aim to avoid causing public alarm. Our approach is to handle it with the established hantavirus protocols, which have successfully controlled past outbreaks. We are adhering to those guidelines.”

Bhattacharya explained that the health alert is being issued due to the imminent arrival of 17 individuals in the U.S., stressing the importance of ensuring that the medical community is well-informed.

‘We’ve been communicating the last week, as sort of the press attention has picked up more with the public as is appropriate, given the nature of this disease. 

‘The key message I want to send to your audience is that this is not COVID. This is not going to lead to [that] kind of outbreak. And I’m pleased by – to hear your – the opening segment, where you emphasized that, because we shouldn’t be panicking when the evidence doesn’t warrant it.’

The message allaying Covid-19 pandemic fears across the US comes as 17 American passengers are preparing to evacuate from the MV Hondius.

The message thwarting Covid-19 Pandemic fears across the US comes as 17 American passengers are preparing to evacuate from the MV Hondius

Groups onboard the MV Hondius luxury cruise ship disembarked on Sunday after the vessel docked in Tenerife, and the week-long process to send the 147 passengers home has begun

American travelers on board are set to be taken on a repatriation flight to the National Quarantine Unit in Nebraska for assessment and quarantine. 

Vacationers and crew members onboard the luxury cruise ship arrived at the Port of Granadilla this weekend where they awaited on small boats to ferry them onto the island of Tenerife. 

Spanish passengers – 13 vacationers and one crew member – were the first to disembark on Sunday morning at around 9.30am before they were loaded onto buses headed for the airport. 

Some 147 passengers were on board the ship in total, and the process to safely transport each person home is expected to take around a week.  

Bhattacharya said all 17 passengers will be interviewed by the CDC, who are working in tandem with the World Health Organization, to assess them for risk. 

‘In this case, risk doesn’t mean the risk of dying…The risk is a high risk if they have been in close contact with somebody who was symptomatic,’ he continued, emphasizing that the disease is difficult to transmit from person to person and requires a person who is positive for the virus while showing symptoms.

‘If they weren’t in close contact with someone who was symptomatic, then we’re going to deem them a low risk. If they were in close contact, we’re going to deem them a medium or high risk.’

Weeks ago, seven Americans who had been onboard the infected ship returned home to the US and were identified across at least four states, including California, Texas, Virginia and Georgia. 

The US, Germany, France, Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands are some of the nations which will send planes to return the passengers and crew members home

‘So the protocols that are being followed for them are the same [successful] protocols that were followed in a 2018 outbreak of this exact same strain of the hantavirus, including a reported case in Delaware with their 51 contacts,’ Bhattacharya said. 

The CDC acting director said that the organization has been working in close contact with state and local public health officials to monitor the seven travelers who previously returned and to coordinate and accommodate the return of the following 17. 

Bhattacharya emphasized that the seven passengers who returned commercially were not showing symptoms, and therefore could not spread the disease. 

‘If they don’t have symptoms, they’re not at risk of exposing others,’ he said. 

The official health warning that was issued on Friday was ‘deemed appropriate’ given the return of the 17 passengers. 

‘To the American people, I say that the CDC has absolutely been working night and day to stay on top of this, to keep you safe from outbreaks like this,’ Bhattacharya added.

‘You want to moderate the response to the actual epidemiological threat. And so that’s what we did with this hantavirus threat. As you said, Jake, if the threat level were higher, then we would have obviously reacted differently.’

He added that the organization has been ‘absolutely on top of this outbreak.’ 

Government officials emphasized that the evacuated groups would have no contact with the public, despite reports that the passengers were not showing symptoms of the virus. 

The World Health Organization recommended a 42-day quarantine for those onboard the boat, which saw its first confirmed case of the outbreak on May 2. 

In an update on Friday, the WHO confirmed that eight passengers no longer on the ship had fallen ill, with six of them confirmed to have contracted the hantavirus. Four remain hospitalized in South Africa, the Netherlands and Switzerland. 

A suspected case in Germany tested negative, while a Spanish woman, who had flown on the same flight as a patient who later died from the virus, tested negative on Saturday. 

Before the boat evacuated, medical officials ran tests on those onboard the ship, Spain’s Health Minister Mónica García said, CNN reported.

Three people – a Dutch couple and a German national – were reported to have died from the virus, a rare disease typically caused by exposure to infected rat waste, after the cruise ship left Argentina last month. 

The US, Germany, France, Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands are nations included in the operation and will send aircraft to return the passengers and crew members home. 

‘The sequence of disembarkation will be coordinated with arriving repatriation flights,’ Oceanwide said.

Spain’s health ministry also reported that no rats were detected on board the cruise ship. 

Spanish officials said all passengers are set to remain onboard the boat until their aircraft home has arrived, meanwhile 30 crew members will remain onboard while the ship will finally sail to the Netherlands to be disinfected.

WHO sought to reassure ‘worried’ Tenerife residents that they will not encounter passengers of the hantavirus-hit cruise ship set to dock on their island.

In a letter addressed to the people of Tenerife, WHO director-general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he knew residents were ‘worried’.

He said the virus was ‘serious’ but the outbreak was ‘not another Covid’ and the ‘current public health risk from hantavirus remains low’.

He added: ‘Spain’s authorities have prepared a careful, step-by-step plan: passengers will be ferried ashore at the industrial port of Granadilla, far from residential areas, in sealed, guarded vehicles, through a completely cordoned-off corridor, and repatriated directly to their home countries.’

The outbreak has been connected to a birdwatching expedition in Argentina that two of the passengers went on before boarding the ship.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who arrived in Spain on Saturday and is expected to oversee the ship evacuation, gave the same assurance and thanked the people of Tenerife for their solidarity.

‘I need you to hear me clearly,’ Tedros wrote in an open letter to the people of Tenerife on Saturday: ‘This is not another Covid.’

After arriving in Tenerife, he said he was confident the operation would be a success. ‘Spain is ready and prepared,’ he told reporters.

The MV Hondius left Ushuaia, Argentina on April 1 for a cruise across the Atlantic Ocean to Cape Verde. 

In Madrid, Spain’s health and interior ministers insisted there would be ‘no contact’ with the local population, and that passengers would leave ‘by nationality groups’.

‘All areas [the passengers] pass through will be sealed off,’ the interior minister said, adding a maritime exclusion zone would be in force around the vessel.  

Provincial health official Juan Petrina said there was an ‘almost zero chance’ the Dutch man linked to the outbreak contracted the disease in Ushuaia based on the virus’s incubation period, among other factors.

In a statement on Sunday, Oceanwide Expeditions, the operator of the MV Hondius ship, said: ‘Oceanwide Expeditions continues to work with relevant authorities to bring the medical situation on board m/v Hondius to a conclusion.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus arrived on the island on Saturday and sought to reassure ‘worried’ locals that the outbreak is ‘not another COVID’

‘The vessel arrived at the port of Granadilla, Tenerife, on Sunday, 10 May, at 6.24am local time. 

‘Led by local authorities, the WHO, and select international governments, the disembarkation of all guests and a limited number of crew members is now underway. This is being performed by launch boats and, if necessary, the Zodiac craft of m/v Hondius. 

‘Upon disembarkation, all individuals will be transferred immediately to waiting aircraft. The sequence of disembarkation is being coordinated with the arrival of repatriation flights.

‘Oceanwide Expeditions is not involved in the planning and facilitation of guest screening and repatriation. 

‘As outlined by the WHO, in partnership with several international organizations and governments, guests will be transported by air to their respective countries, where they will enter quarantine procedures. 

‘Respective national authorities determine these procedures. No quarantine of non-Spanish nationals will take place in Spain.

‘After all guests and limited crew have disembarked, m/v Hondius will bunker and take on necessary supplies at Santa Cruz, Tenerife. 

‘Following this, the vessel will transit to the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands with the remaining crew members aboard. Further details regarding the vessel’s arrival in Rotterdam will be provided when available. The expected sailing time to Rotterdam is around 5 days.’

In a statement to the Daily Mail, the US Department of Health and Human Services said: ‘The US government is conducting a coordinated, interagency response led by the Department of State. HHS, through ASPR and CDC, is supporting efforts to protect the health and safety of U.S. citizens, including repatriation, medical evaluation, and public health guidance.’

‘Passengers will be transported to the United States via a Department of State-coordinated airlift with appropriate medical capabilities onboard. 

‘It is important to note transmission of the Andes variant is typically associated with close contact with a symptomatic person and is not commonly linked to people without symptoms. It does not spread easily, and the risk to the public remains extremely low.’

Germany is currently witnessing a significant surge in antisemitism, with officials highlighting how Islamist and left-wing extremist groups are capitalizing on the conflict in the Middle East to disseminate anti-Jewish sentiments. This exploitation serves to rally supporters and incite harassment and violence against Jewish communities.

These extremist factions are leveraging the ongoing Israel–Hamas conflict and the broader regional discord to propagate antisemitic ideologies. A report from the Hessian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution notes that these narratives include allegations of “genocide” in Gaza and depictions of Israel as a colonial power. Authorities warn that such language is increasingly being used to legitimize hostility and, at times, violence against Jewish individuals and communities.

Roman Poseck, the Interior Minister for the German state of Hesse, has expressed concern over the escalating trend.

“Antisemitism poses one of the greatest threats to our societal unity, particularly from Islamist and left-wing extremist quarters,” Poseck stated.

These developments are causing alarm beyond Germany’s borders as officials and Jewish leaders caution that similar antisemitic rhetoric linked to Middle Eastern conflicts is surfacing in other Western democracies, including the United States. Given Germany’s historical context and its stringent laws against hate speech, these findings are seen as a significant warning of how extremist narratives can transition from fringe movements into mainstream dialogue.

Poseck, who commissioned the report of the Hessian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution, warned of a deteriorating social climate, saying that “antisemitic sentiments are becoming increasingly intolerable, even in public spaces.” 

“I am deeply ashamed of what Jews in Germany have to endure 80 years after the end of the Second World War,” he continued. “We Germans, in particular, bear a lasting responsibility never to forget what happened.”

Forty-six of 102 Jewish communities surveyed in Germany reported antisemitic incidents, highlighting the growing scale of the threat, a new nationwide report by the Central Council of Jews in Germany found. 

Among the most common incidents identified in the Central Council survey were verbal abuse, threatening phone calls, vandalism and antisemitic graffiti. Sixty-eight percent of respondents said they feel less safe living in Germany since the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

“Following the explosive rise in antisemitism after Oct. 7, a ‘new normal’ has emerged,” Central Council President Josef Schuster said in the press statement. “A situation in which Jewish communities require constant protection and antisemitism has become normalized as part of the public sphere.”

The report also found that broader geopolitical developments continue to directly impact Jewish communities in Germany. Sixty-two percent of respondents said their sense of insecurity worsened following the recent war involving Iran, while two-thirds said a Gaza ceasefire did not improve their safety.

Jewish leaders say the consequences are being felt in daily life. Many Jews are increasingly avoiding visible signs of their identity, such as wearing a Star of David or a kippah, or Jewish skullcap, amid fears of harassment. In some cases, communities have canceled events due to security concerns.

At the same time, the report highlights a sharp decline in perceived societal support. Only 35% of communities said they feel solidarity from broader civil society, down from 62% in 2023.

Officials say the normalization of such rhetoric is shifting the boundaries of acceptable public discourse.

The findings underscore growing concern that antisemitism, once seen as confined to the margins, is becoming more visible in public life, leaving Jewish communities feeling increasingly isolated and under threat.

Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is advocating for a significant clampdown on Medicaid fraud in the state, following revelations of millions in taxpayer dollars allegedly being misallocated to fictitious home healthcare companies.

The inquiry revealed that 288 home healthcare businesses in Ohio were registered at the same address. Some of these listed locations appeared derelict or deserted, with no indication that any healthcare services were actually being provided.

Ramaswamy, during an appearance on “Saturday in America” with Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany, emphasized the need to scrutinize the spending of over $40 billion in state Medicaid funds. “We’re going to have to take a deep, hard look at the way the $40-plus billion in state Medicaid dollars are being spent,” he stated.

He further asserted, “Any instance of waste, fraud, or abuse deserves prosecution. We plan to investigate and prosecute these cases aggressively to send a clear message that our government and taxpayers are not sources to be exploited.”

The Republican billionaire raised concerns following a recent report by the Daily Wire, which highlighted widespread fraud similar to that discovered in several supposed childcare operations in Minneapolis in recent months.

Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s office fired back at Ramaswamy’s suggestion that social-services fraud is happening unchecked in the state.

In a statement to Fox News, DeWine’s office claimed Ohio has “extensive oversight mechanisms in place,” including “electronic visit verification for hourly care, requiring signed daily activity logs, conducting audits and surveys performing background checks on providers, and reassessing medical needs regularly.”

The term-limited governor’s office cited additional existing measures to root out would-be scammers, including “internal agency efforts to fight waste, fraud and abuse.”

In a statement to the outlet, the Ohio Department of Medicaid acknowledged the concerns the article raised, particularly in Franklin County, and said it has been “actively investigating these matters” even before the report was published.

“Upon initial review, some of the entities mentioned in the series are no longer Ohio Medicaid providers or have not billed Medicaid in several years. Some other providers are subject to ongoing investigation,” the statement said.

Ramaswamy chalked up the alleged rampant fraud as “downstream policies” of open borders and an “overgrown federal welfare state.

“That’s a big problem,” he said.

“We can’t fix the past. We can fix the future, and one of the things that I intend to do is to just take a dispassionate look at this,” he said.

“It’s not just responding to one news story or another as a game of whack-a-mole. The way I look at this is this is more of a broken-windows theory, which means that, if you have a broken window somewhere, it’s a reminder that we have to take a systematic look at the whole thing.”
