(CNN) — Savannah Guthrie intends to return to work at NBC’s “Today” show at some point, according to two sources close to the network.

When that might happen is highly uncertain, and completely up to Guthrie, given this month’s agonizing and all-consuming search for her mother Nancy.

But word of Guthrie’s intentions may calm some of the speculation among viewers and TV news insiders about whether she will be back on “Today.”

For Guthrie, as hard as it might be to imagine resuming work, it might also be a comforting routine after the most unsettling chapter of her life.

When asked about Guthrie’s status, an NBC source said “her ‘Today’ family will welcome her back with open arms on her timeline.”

Guthrie, 54, is in many ways the centerpiece of NBC’s popular and highly profitable morning show. Her fame turned Nancy’s disappearance into a national news story nearly four weeks ago, and her video messages pleading for tips have captivated the country.

Earlier this week, for the first time, Guthrie acknowledged that her 84-year-old mother “may already be gone.”

“And if this is what is to be, then we will all accept it,” Guthrie said. “But we need to know where she is. We need her to come home.”

Guthrie announced a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to her mother’s recovery, and a donation of $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Those statements by Guthrie were interpreted, by some people close to her, as a turning point.

“Living in this uncertainty is agonizing” for Guthrie and her siblings, Hoda Kotb said on NBC after playing the video.

Kotb, who departed the show in January 2025, returned to co-host “Today” due to Guthrie’s absence.

Kotb was going to be a part of the show’s Winter Olympics coverage in Milan anyway. But once Nancy Guthrie was reported missing and Savannah flew to Tucson to support the search, “Today” stayed home in New York, and Kotb returned to Studio 1A to fill in for her friend.

Washington (CNN) — The US military used a controversial anti-drone laser system to shoot down a unmanned aircraft operated by US Customs and Border Protection in Texas, according to congressional representatives.

“Our heads are exploding over the news that DoD reportedly shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone using a high risk counter-unmanned aircraft system,” three Democrats on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure said in a statement.

It’s not clear when the shoot-down happened. CNN has reached out to the Department of the Defense and CBP for more information.

As a result of the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration implemented a temporary flight restriction Thursday evening above the town of Fort Hancock, Texas, to “ensure safety.”

The small town is about 50 miles south of El Paso, Texas, along the Mexican border.

The top Democrat on the House committee Rick Larsen, along with Reps. André Carson and Bennie Thompson were notified of the shoot down Thursday through official channels, a congressional source tells CNN.

“We said MONTHS ago that the White House’s decision to sidestep a bipartisan, tri-committee bill to appropriately train C-UAS (counter unmanned aerial system) operators and address the lack of coordination between the Pentagon, DHS and the FAA was a short-sighted idea. Now, we’re seeing the result of its incompetence,” the statement said.

The shoot-down comes about two weeks after the use of a military laser system by CBP designed to disrupt drones near El Paso prompted the FAA to abruptly shut down a large swath of airspace up to 18,000 feet over the city for 10 days. The move effectively shut down El Paso airport, but was reversed after about eight hours.

Because of the location of the new restrictions implemented Thursday they are not expected to have any impact on commercial flights.

The top Democrat on the Senate Aviation Subcommittee, Tammy Duckworth called for an investigation into the “dysfunction” endangering the nation’s aviation system.

“The situation is alarming and demands a thorough, independent investigation,” the senator said in a statement. “I will be calling on the Inspectors General of the Departments of Defense, Transportation and Homeland Security to launch a joint investigation into the recent scandals in El Paso and now Fort Hancock.”

Análisis de Nick Paton Walsh

Mientras intenta mantener abiertas sus opciones respecto a Irán, el presidente Donald Trump puede estar viendo cómo se le estrechan.

Tras la tercera ronda de conversaciones en Ginebra, que terminó con un aparente acuerdo para otra reunión de “nivel técnico” en Viena la próxima semana, la Casa Blanca debe evaluar si su renovada diplomacia dará resultados, o si debe abrazar el paso tremendamente impredecible, y probablemente brutal, de la guerra.

Militarmente, las señales de EE.UU. son claras. Es probablemente el mayor despliegue de poder aéreo y naval en la región desde la invasión de Iraq en 2003. Algunos aviones cisterna y aviones de ataque terrestre A-10 están estacionados a la vista de los turistas que aterrizan en aeropuertos civiles de Israel y Creta. No es sutil y pretende asegurar que Teherán vea que Trump va en serio y que su limitada paciencia para un resultado negociado está respaldada con una fuerza sustancial. Pero eso no le da omnipotencia repentina al presidente de EE.UU.

Estados Unidos ha optado primero por la diplomacia. Eso importa, ya que sus bombardeos previos a las instalaciones nucleares de Irán evidentemente no han funcionado, sin importar las afirmaciones de Trump el año pasado de que el programa nuclear había sido “aniquilado”. Al parecer, Trump cree que Irán tiene la intención de adquirir un arma nuclear, a pesar de las declaraciones en contrario del líder supremo Alí Jamenei y una evaluación de la comunidad de inteligencia de EE.UU. del año pasado.

El secretario de Estado de EE.UU., Marco Rubio, dijo el miércoles que no creía que los iraníes estuvieran enriqueciendo uranio en este momento, pero que “se les ve siempre tratando de reconstruir elementos de” su programa. Si la Casa Blanca creyera que las fuerzas estadounidenses podrían eliminar con bombardeos lo que queda, probablemente habría optado por perseguir esa opción rápidamente —o habría pedido a Israel que lo hiciera— sin anunciar sus planes. En cambio, la administración probablemente cree que una solución diplomática puede lograr mejor sus objetivos: con Irán verificablemente sin armas nucleares y aceptando las inspecciones civiles que ha tenido en el pasado.

Irán ha demostrado ser un maestro en retrasar y complicar las conversaciones. La llegada de la “armada” de Trump puede alterar su ecuación y fomentar un acuerdo más rápido. Pero la posición de EE.UU. también es compleja. Todavía no está claro cuáles son las líneas rojas de Washington. ¿Busca EE.UU. solo que no haya arma nuclear, o que no haya enriquecimiento de uranio? El discurso del Estado de la Unión de Trump no exigió explícitamente el fin del enriquecimiento, y sus funcionarios parecen informar por partes a los medios de que podrían aceptar un enriquecimiento iraní “simbólico”, quizás únicamente para fines médicos.

¿Debe un acuerdo incluir límites al alcance de los misiles de Irán, que Trump afirmó erróneamente que podrían pronto ser capaces de alcanzar Estados Unidos? ¿Debe Irán también aceptar restringir a sus proxies en la región —gravemente afectados por la reciente acción militar israelí y estadounidense, y la caída del régimen de Assad en Siria a finales de 2024?

Puede ser ventajoso para Trump dejar a los iraníes adivinando cuánto deben ceder para que la armada regrese a casa.
