Nbcs chief Foreign Correspondent Andrea Mitchell joins us with details on this story. Andrea, good morning. Reporter good morning, craig. There is new evidence today of what may be a major breakthrough in north Koreas Nuclear program. A submarine, capable of launching Ballistic Missiles, that could threaten the u. S. And our allies. A submarine that would be very difficult to detect. These satellite images of a shipyard inside north korea suggest kim jonguns regime is constructing what could be a new Ballistic Missile submarine. According to an analysis provided to nbc by two National Security experts, the images appear to confirm reports by north korea last month, showing kim inspecting what state media called a newly built submarine. The National Security experts say the images suggest the regime is preparing for a possible test, it is not clear one is imminent. A seabased Ballistic Missile program would mean a significant leap forward for the dictators nuclear ambitions. When they have submarines, they can wander the Pacific Ocean and get closer to, for example, guam or hawaii. That puts the nuclear tip missiles in range of u. S. Forces and hubs. Reporter it could also doom u. S. Efforts to denuclearize the korean peninsula. Despite three meetings with President Trump, kim jongun has not kept a single commitment to the u. S. Even as the president lavishes praise on him. Kim jongun, who i have gotten to know extremely well, first lady had gotten to know kim jongun, and i think shed agree with me, he is a man with a country that has tremendous potential. Reporter the white house later clarifying the first lady has never met kim. Despite a barrage of north korean shortrange missile tests in recent weeks, all banned by u. N. Resolutions, the president keeps downplaying the frequent launches. Shortrange missiles, we never made an agreement on that. I have no problem. Well see what happens. Reporter what is now clear is that instead of getting rid of his weapons as he promised when he first met President Trump, kim jongun has used this diplomatic lull to improve and expand his arsenal into what could be his most threatening weapons yet. Andrea mitchell in washington, thank you. Now to the president ial race and a new poll out this morning that could shake things up on the democratic side. Nbcs Peter Alexander is at the white house. Good morning, peter. Where do things stand for the democrats . What are you seeing . Reporter good morning.

This is good news for joe biden, the former vp maintaining an 18point lead among the crowded democratic primary field. That shows biden up to 32 of the voters. Elizabeth warren is in second place with 14 . Bernie sanders there in third with 12 . The second poll also shows biden at 32 . And sanders at 15 . Kamala harris and Pete Buttigieg filling out the top five in each polls. They erase the idea he was losing after a recent poll showed him, warren and sanders in a virtual threeway tie. Peter, we know the debate stage is connected, at least in part, to the polls. What does the poll mean for the next debate . Who is in . Who is out . Reporter good question. This poll was critical for billionaire steyer and gabbert, both falling short to qualify for next months debate. Theres another National Poll due out later this morning.

I ran as fast as i could to my villa, feet bloody from the rocks. I cried myself to sleep. Reporter after the hearing, she sat down with nbc news. The justice i needed was for him to hear my words no matter what, nothing is ever going to fix that. Reporter many of the dramatic court statements focused on calls to bring epsteins alleged coconspirators to Justice Maxwell was mentioned by five different women during the hearing as having played a key role in what prosecutors call a sex trafficking ring. We need to get to the bottom of everybody who was involved with that, starting with maxwell. Reporter maxwell denied the allegations in the past and has not responded publicly since epsteins arrest in july shes not been charged with any crime. Virginia giuffre had strong words for britains Prince Andrew when asked about his latest statement, denying any role in the scandal.

Prince andrew denied the allegations, saying in part, at no stage during the limited time i spent with him did i see, witness, or suspect any behavior of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction steph, epsteins attorneys were also in the courtroom, as we understand it what, if anything, did they have to say well, they took this opportunity to call the timing of epsteins death, in their words, implausible they also raise the theory that he was strangled though a medical examiner determined the cause of death was suicide, they asked the federal judge to look into the issue personally Stephanie Gosk for us thank you.

The latest on dorian, it is currently a Tropical Storm 60mileperhour winds 60 miles southeast of saint croix. Moving northwest at 13 Miles Per Hour as you look at the radar, you can see those rain bands are starting to make their way into puerto rico. Heres the track of the storm. It comes across the eastern end of puerto rico sometime this afternoon, then continues on into the atlantic. By friday, it becomes a category one storm. It enlarges and becomes stronger by the time we get to early monday morning, labor day morning. Its a category two storm. Look at the cone of uncertainty, from savannah to miami this is the official National Hurricane track. Now, were going to put the european model and the american model in if you look at that, the american model curves up and then makes landfall in North Carolina were going to put the two models in. If you look at this, the american model comes up and makes landfall in north carol a carolina the european model comes across a little further south of the National Hurricane track and out into the gulf. We dont have consensus yet, so were going to have to watch this over the next several days and wait for the models to try to converge. Weve got the risk of strong winds from puerto rico all the way to the florida coastline rainfall upwards of 10 inches in parts of puerto rico and upwards of 8 or more into central parts of florida guys, we still have a lot of indecision about this. Were just going to continue to watch the models as they progress. Al, thank you for that.

Make your jaw drop drop say oh my drop drop drop make u say oh my god my drop drop make your jaw drop we are back with todays talker, as we welcome natalie morales. Hi, guys. Good to be with you. Good to see you this is a big talker here were talking about the newly revealed benefits of intermittent fasting. Thats right. Focus more on when you eat instead of what you eat. Its exploded in popularity across the country a study shows it can help with brain health nbc news medical correspondent dr. John torres is here with more good morning. Good morning. Dr. John, good to see you this is a big talker. I have so many friends doing this i havent jumped on the bandwagon yet. Before we talk about it, lets get a big picture sense of this. There are three categories of intermittent fasting. You dont eat for a while, then you eat for a smaller time period, and that helps with the Health Benefits. There are three big ones main one, 16 8 fast for 16 hours, eat for 8 hours. The next is 5 2. Five days a week, you eat normally two days a week, they have to be separated, you fast. The one they studied was 36 12, the most extreme one. What . Eat for 12 hours and fast for 36 hours thats the one that showed Health Benefits. The others do, as well. When you say fast for 36 hours, that means no food but you can drink tea and coffee right as they said, you can drink no calorie beverages, water, tea, coffee, to help you through the time period. Most people say the first week or so is the hard part, to adjust to this once they get past the first week, they tend to do better, and it is natural for them it cuts down on the hunger and the hunger hormones. You talk about the Health Benefits besides the calorie and, obviously, people losing weight on this, what are some of the other things they saw . The study found it can control your blood sugar it can keep your Blood Pressure under control, as well wow. It helped with weight loss and reducing your body fat importantly, people think that if you fast on the time when you can eat, youll eat a lot. It actually helped control hunger that was one of the important findings they had out of the whole thing. The study also found it helped with thyroid hormones and brain health, like you were talking about. Bdnp, it increased that hormone, which is what keeps your brain healthy. Is this a fad diet, a weight loss thing, or is it in the Health Sector for a new lifestyle . I think it is a new lifestyle situation. The reason they looked into this is for cultural or religious reasons, people have been fasting for centuries. They found out during those periods, theyre getting some healthy parameters they said, lets see what happens with intermittent fasting. If you can do it continuously, it can really help you out strictions, which are normal diets. You can get the same benefit, but people have a harder time doing that this, you dont have to count calories or eat specific food. When you are eating, can i eat whatever i want . Popeyes and 10,000 calories. I talked to a researcher in the field, and she said the main thing is you dont want to pig out on the time you can eat. Right. Try to eat as healthy as you can, and make sure youre eating healthy foods. But they let the people in the Research Just eat whatever they want to. It turns out, they ate 37 less calories than they would have normally, and they ate healthier foods. Does it work for longterm weight loss . Can you keep this going . It can work for longterm weight loss if you can keep it going. The 36 12 is harder to do. If people would restrict their eating to 10 to 12 hours a day, thatd help them out a lot. Good takeaway right there thats manageable. I eat in my sleep though. This will be very difficult. I was going to say, i fast between 7 00 and 8 00 a. M. Hours of the today show. Appreciate it. Mr. Roker, another check of the forecast foodoclock. In florida and the rest of the country, we have heavy rain in the northeast. Fire danger out west sunshine through the plains. Thats whats going on around good morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. A live look outside in san jose as the skies clear. We are also feeling a little bit more humidity than were used to and its still going to be a muggy day, reaching into the 80s with our High Temperature starting to come down. Well have High Temperatures in the inland east bay, as well as the north bay. Reaching up to 96 in clear lake while San Francisco stays in the upper 60s. Going to the forecast, well start to see much cooler temperatures with a drop in humidity by the weekend. Baby boom. The birthrate in this country has reached a new low. Thats right. Natalie, youve been exploring the reasons why. Yes, guys from beer to breakfast cereal, real estate to relationship, millenials, it turns out, are changing things up across the board. The latest, theyre getting the blame for the declining birthrate. Why are millenials putting off having children . We spoke to a few of them to find out i thought id be married with kids at 25 im now 27 the thought of having children honestly scares me. Reporter it is a familiar idea for many millenials today a new study shows birthrates fell for nearly all age groups of women under 35. With fertility in america at a 32year low. Jonathan, susan, mike, heidi, and julie, all millenials, ages 27 to 37, and all are in relationships, choosing for kids to come later. Why . One reason, millenials are drowning in debt they have a staggering total debt that exceeds 1 trillion. 27yearold heidi is one of them. I graduated college in 2014 with a ton of student loans. Im still paying them off. So even thinking of, you know, getting married in my early 20s, ive been with someone for five years. We have to have a lot of money to get married and buy a home. You have to have a lot of money to raise a kid. Reporter is it scary with all that debt . It is scary to have a kid, not knowing when i can pay for a home, pay off the student loans. It is pushing me back. Reporter many millenials are focusing on their careers first, like 29yearold jonathan. It seems like career has been a big part of your life right now, too. Jonathan, youre an entrepreneur, you know, delaying getting married perhaps even and having children. Absolutely. Its been a hugely influential choice that i made eight years ago that influences my choices today. Both as i think about the financial situation, lifestyle choices. Everybody tells me things change when i have kids, and i believe them. Reporter susan and mike married four years ago but are holding off on starting a family. Reporter has that been a pressure for you, thinking about children and next phase of life . I feel like we considered it briefly shortly after we got married, and we were like, lets enjoy being married and enjoy our time together. Maybe well do the kid thing, and when the time came for us to assess, like, okay, lets do the kid thing, we were both like, its good right now. Were enjoying each other, enjoying life. Reporter these millenials say, no surprise, social media plays a role julie, who is 35, feels the pressure from multiple angles. I think in one way, like some people experience instagram like fomo, fear of missing out, by looking at pictures of peoples kids and being like, im behind. I need to get on that. Some people experience it like, oh, so and so is on a tropical vacation, and theyre working abroad they left their job, and theyre freelancing. I feel like it kind of works in both ways. Youre seeing the people who are like, i want a kid, or youre like, i want an adventure. A thirdparty looking into the friends on the apps, there is a tendency to have children later on in life because youre always swiping for the next potential fit. Maybe thats the perfect one maybe thats the perfect one if youre not willing to settle down with anyone specifically because you always think the next one is going to be even better, thatll push back your timeline, as well. Reporter once they are ready, will it be worth the wait do you feel you all will be better parents when you do have children, or if you have children, because you waited im not done growing. Im still developing i think that if im able to consciously choose when i have children, ill have more to give i started this whole new career, and i kind of have to flush it out and see how far i can go i think if i interrupted that right now, id have that nagging sense of, did i leave something on the table i agree with what susan said here for me, it is very much, there are promises i made to myself, and i feel like if i give up on those too soon, i will live with that question mark. Maybe ill backpack the world with my kid under my arm, but probably not for me, making sure it is something i am ready for and i want, and ive accomplished some of the things that arent feasible necessarily with a child. I want to make sure when i have a child, everything is as perfect as it can be ill thank myself in the future because ill be able to build that and plan and be conscious about having a kid as you can see, a wellspoken, Thoughtful Group of people we rented the apartment space from susan and mike, not knowing theyd be perfect for this, because they are choosing to wait until they have their family we invited them to be a part of our discussion, as well. As you see, a lot of them are hamstringed by debt. Thats a big concern. Yeah. They feel they cant really live their lives until theyre in their 30s already at that point, thats when they feel like, okay, ive worked on myself, then it is time to start my family. Fascinating conversation. It makes sense in terms of the debt they feel they have more options when it comes to fertility advances and adoption. A lot of them said, wed be open to adopting. Thats great. It is great. You have to wonder where we are 10, 15 years from now. If this is where we are now. What the grandparents are saying about all of it. Theyre putting the pressure on for sure. Oh, yeah. Thank you, natalie. Stick around. Were going to get Something Else out of you later on. Geez. What is happening [ laughter ] ill give you everything ive got, craig how about pop start . You want to handle pop start, nat mo you can do als weather.

Im on my way driving at 90 down those country lanes now, after two and a half years and six continents, ed sheeran is closing out the huge tour, but not without breaking an impressive record dailymail. Com reporting his world tour is the highest grossing world tour of all time. Think about that 775 million it brought in that beats the record holder, u2 u2 had it, and ed beat it by over 40 million what is ed doing next . Probably sleep, id imagine. Yeah. He reportedly is going to be taking a welldeserved break, spending time with his wife. Great for ed. Fantastic. Next up, spotifys song of the summer youd think itd be a nobrainer, right .

Guys, dawn russells road to recovery led her on a Lifelong Mission of healthy living. Well talk to her in a moment and get some ideas for improving your familys diet first, heres her story. Reporter two decades ago, a 25yearold dawn russell was fighting for her life. In 2000, i was diagnosed with stage three out of stage four cancer it felt very abrupt. Reporter when a postop infection took over her left leg and she could no longer receive chemotherapy and radiation, she set out on a mission to heal herself. When youre desperate, youll do almost anything there was a guru in france i was in brazil. I was in australia i was in germany i spent time in china, researching acupuncture. You name it, i feel i went there. Reporter russell returned around the world only to return home and start from scratch. It was a natural progression for me, to think, okay, nutrition, its what im putting in my body every day lets start at zero. Thats what i did. Reporter she started with basic nutrition, fueling her body with fruits and vegetables, stripping away foods that didnt make her feel stronger. It was reactive for me immediately. Greens were the first thing that not only stayed in me but actually could get me to 1 00 p. M. That was really where everything began. I literally would like go to local farmer markets and see, you know, the person with the most dirt in their hand, that you thought was picking the greens the week before in their own farm what i like about greens is it gives you energy but in a calm, steady way itll help you detox itll help with immunity. Reporter now a mom of two young boys, shes on the mission to share the power of greens through her company. 87 of americans dont get the minimize amount of greens. Thats about a cup of greens a day. Thats chilling to me, given i know what greens do for people they call me the green queen, which i find funny there is nothing new about greens im trying to make them easier to get and take. Dawn joins us now with something we can all use tried and true ways to get our kids to enjoy their greens good luck, dawn. My kids are very picky. Im ready for the challenge. This is a powerful story. Nutrition and your love of greens really is, you feel, what cure you of your disease of cancer. Absolutely. I mean, greens are it for me it wasnt like i sought out you know, i didnt have this passion. It was out of necessity, obviously. Yeah lets take a look at the items you brought along. Love to where do you want to start. The smoothie. So everyone kind of has their smoothies, id say nothing new to a smoothie. What is nice, if you add avocado, it is a healthy fat some are concerned because it is a high calorie, but it is a good healthy fat. You have chia seeds in there doesnt taste like there is avocado. It creates the smoothness. You can taste the chia seeds. It is sweet but not too sweet. Reset smoothie. Yeah. With the chia seeds, if you soak them in water overnight, they digest in your belly the following morning. The fruit is not only good with antioxidants but it makes it taste better. What about this the zucchini bread, i use felt flour it stays moist it doesnt you know how some flours, alternative flours, make it really kind of flat right. It doesnt have any different taste or texture. Well, youll see. Whats really nice about felt flour really good. Yeah. It has 17 more protein. Theres a lot of fiber in there. Theres good healthy fat it is a good flour to consider. This is excellent. Really good. Amazing. Thanks. Your two boys love this they love all of this yeah . If we can go to the spinach soup. My kids would be like, no, thank you. This was no small feat. Because of the herbs, you have spinach, garlic, onion my 5yearold asks for it. Wow. Spinach can be bitter. Yeah. Thats not bad. It is pretty good. How long does it take to make five minutes. Really . It is really quick. Put it in a blender. We put it in mugs. Cheer to each other and drink it up it is easy with onions, by the way, if i can give a quick tip because i dont know if a lot of people know this, with onions, you keep the top layer. The top layer has 75 of the nutrients. When were cooking, we peel it off to get it clean. Thats 75 of the nutrients. Keep it whole. A pro tip. Excellent. Zucchini bread.
