We are joined by our reporter in Mexico. US news anchor Savannah Guthrie has announced her family is offering a million dollar reward for information leading to the return of her kidnapped eighty-four year old mother, Nancy. Our US correspondent joins with the latest. The US actor Robert Carradine, known for his role in Lizze McGuire, has died aged 71.
