The big reveal just an hour away today wednesday, april 8, 2015. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in Rockefeller Plaza. And good morning. Welcome to today. 7 00 a. M. On the west coast on this wednesday. Were following breaking news this morning. Right. Lets get to it. A deadly ambush shooting on u. S. Soldiers and took place in afghanistan. Jim miklaszewski is at the pentagon. What can you tell us . Reporter its called a green on blue shooting, afghan soldier opens fire on the American Allies and what happened today. One american soldier killed, two others wounded. When an afghan soldier without warning opened fire on u. S. Security forces in jalalabad this morning. The americans returned fire killing the afghan shooter instantly. The incident occurred this morning following a high level meeting between the u. S. And Afghan Government officials in jalalabad. Again, without warning the Security Forces or the the afghan opened fire on american Security Forces, killing one and wounding the two others. The motive is unclear. Thats under investigation. The condition of the two wounded americans is unknown at this time. But this incident today is a grim reminder that each as americans are withdrawing from afghanistan are not involved in direct combat, they are in harms way every day on the ground in afghanistan. They certainly are. Jim miklaszewski, thank you for that report. Story at home outrage growing over yet another Deadly Police shooting, this one in South Carolina and this time it was caught on camera. Leading to murder charges against the officer. Gabe gutierrez is live in North Charleston for us. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. City leaders here are stunned, the fbi now investigating whether any civil rights were violated and right now at this hour Peaceful Protesters are gathering at city hall behind me. We should warn you, the video is disturbing. This morning the outrage over this video is growing, a white Police Officer drawing his gun as a black suspect runs away his back turned. The officer fires eight shots, the suspect walter scott is killed. Shots fired. Subject is down. He grabbed my taser. Reporter a bystanders video shows the officer Michael Slager handcuffing scott. His face down on the ground. Moments later slager retrieves an object. Its not clear whether its his taser and appears to drop the object on the ground next to scott. Slager reportedly said he feared for his life after scott allegedly grabbed his taserment but on tuesday, as the video surfaced the officer was charged with murder. When youre wrong youre wrong. And if you make a bad decision, dont care if youre behind the shield or just a sit senl on the street, you have to live by that decision. Reporter police say the confrontation started after the officer pulled scott over saturday for a broken taillight and the two fought over the officers stun gun. Scotts family is heartbroken. We cant get my brother back and my familys in deep mourning for that. Overnight walterscott trended worldwide. The death the latest in a string of officer involved incidents, in ferguson and elsewhere that sparked a National Debate about lethal force by police. What if there was no video . What if there was no witness or hero as i call them to come forward . Then this wouldnt have happened. Reporter the city of North Charleston has about 100,000 residents, about half are africanamerican but black officers make up just about 20 of the police force. As for the officer who is charged he is a coast guard veteran, if the convicted could face up to life in prison or even the death penalty. So far he has not commented and its unclear whether he currently has an attorney. Matt. Gabe, thank you. Walter scotts parents, judy and walter, are with us along with their attorney. Good morning to all of you. Good morning. And mr. And mrs. Scott, please accept my condolences on the loss of your son. Thank you. Thank you. You know that the Police Officer Michael Slager says that your son grabbed for his taser and that is why he used deadly force. When you look at that videotape, do you see any reasonable for that deadly force . I see no reason for that deadly force because i raised my children better than that. My son knew better. When i saw that i steed myself no, i know thats not true because walter would have, whatever he said to do walter would have done it. Mrs. Scott, why do you think walter was running away from the officer . I think he probably, he had some Child Support on him and i believe that he didnt want to go to jail again. He just ran away. Can you imagine, and this is a question that was asked in the piece we just ran, what would this situation be if this videotape did not exist . If this tape wasnt made public, then this story and the circumstances of that shooting may have never come to light. It would have never come to light. They would have swept it under the rug like many others. And i thank god that it did, that this young man whoever it was, had the video because i was telling some of my friends the other day that god has my back because when i saw it i fell to my feet and just my heart was broken, and i said no, it cannot be. And when i saw it, i just couldnt take it anymore. Mrs. Scott, let me ask you a straight question. Do you think race played a role in this incident . I hate to say it. I dont really know whether it was or not. I cant really say how the young man felt but i mean, the way i saw it on the film, the way he was shooting that gun, looked like he was trying to kill a deer or something running through the woods. I dont know whether it was racial or something wrong with his head or what. Kr as you know, he has been arrested now charged with murder. Are you confident that justice will be served in the name of your son . Im pretty sure that justice will be served because god is in the plan. God is tired of all of this foolishness going on and i believe in my heart that god is going to finish this right now. This they started and i think god is going to finish it. I think he is tired with it. Mr. Scott, mrs. Scott, mr. Stewart, again my condolences and i thank you for talking to me this morning. Thank you. Now to the race to become the next president , republican senator rand paul launched on tuesday with a fiery speech in his home state of kentucky. Three quick facts. He is an eye doctor, still Practices Medicine providing pro bono surgery, his father is former congressman ron paul. You know him he ran for president three times and he was called randy but his wife shortened it. He is on the campaign trail and joining us from New Hampshire. Senator, good morning, good did to see you. Good morning, thanks for having me. Its official, youre running for president but those who watched you closely have seen you laying the groundwork for this for years. You have been in office about four years, was higher office, the presidency always the master plan for you . You know, its kind of funny. You meet people running for president and their friends say oh, in eighth grade he said he was going to run for president. I guess when i grew up i grew up a normal existence, concerned about playing football, running track, being on the swimming team, reading. But never really thought about it and even once i launched my career i spent the a lot of time, many years becoming an eye surgeon. And so i never really thought of it. In the back of my mind i thought i might run for an office but never in my wildest dreams would i think there would be a constellation of events that would come forward to allow me to but i do think that the message i have to offer is a distinct one and i think it is resonating. Here you are now officially a candidate. Let me ask you about items in the news. The deal with iran, this framework deal, whether or not you support it. If the it were written in black and white exactly as president obama has described it, and the iranians agreed to it exactly as described is it a good deal, would you support it . You know, i think thats part of the problem. The Iranian Foreign minister immediately came out writing in english saying it meant something completely different than what the president than what president obama said. Right but lets say take that issue off the table. Let me answer the question. Let me answer the question. The sinlty of the iranians does make a big difference. If they are immediately saying that the agreement doesnt say what president obama says that is a big problem. The other thing is so far weve seen fact sheets. Irannians put out 500 words, the american put out 1300, the europeans 200 words and they dont all seem to agree but its very Little Information so far. Im going to keep an open mind and look at the agreement. I do believe that negotiation is better than war, ive been a big proponent of negotiation but i also say that the law is very specific in this. I voted to put sanctions on iran, sanctions can only be relieved by Congress Voting to remove those. So thats why i signed on to the corker bill which could say that any kind of permanent reduck shunl or relief from sanctions has to be voted on in congress. You have had views in the past on Foreign Policy that are somewhat unorthodox but you seem to have changed. You once said iran was not a threat, now you say it is. Am you once proposed ending foreign aid to israel, you now support it at least for the time being. And you once offered to drastically wait. Before we get to before we get to you want to increase it 60 . I wonder if you mellowed out. Why dont you let me explain instead of talking over me. Okay. Before we go through a litany of things you say i changed on why dont you ask me a question, have i changed my opinion. Have you changed your opinion. A better way to approach. Is it a threat. No. Listen. You editorializeded. You say have your views changed instead of editorializing saying my views have changed. Lets start with regard to foreign aid. My opinion has always been we shouldnt borrow from china to send it to any country. But i also realize that things will have to be Done Gradually and if we are going to try to eliminate or reduce foreign aid why dont we start with the countries that hate us that burn our flag. The one thing that is true is israel doesnt burn our flag and so i havent proposed removing aid from israel but i still agree you once did. Which is let me answer the question. I still agree with my original statement from years ago that ultimately all nations should be free of foreig shouldnt borrow money to do it. But, my opinion is not any different than netanyahus opinion. When he came before a joint session of congress in 1996 he said you know what, eventually israel also out to be independent of it and israels defense may be stronger because then they wouldnt be forced to buy Defense Products from outside the country. Do you still think iran is not a threat as you said in 2007 . Yeah. 2007 was a long time ago and events do change over long periods of time so were talking about eight years ago. Were talking about a time when i wasnt running for office and i was helping someone else run for office. What i would say is that theres always been a threat of iran gaining Nuclear Weapons and i think thats greater now than it was many years ago. I think we should do everything we can to stop them. I voted for sanctions to try to stop them. Im somewhat skeptical of the president s agreement. However, i am in favor of negotiations over war and i think ive been one of the reasonable people in our party to w. H. O. Has not been beating the drums for war. So i think my position on iran is one that reflects the events and reflects the current history with regards to iran. Before i let you go, the question i was getting at in general is when you came to washington and you realize im going to run for president , have you mellowed or tempered your views a it all . I think what i understood is that washingtons horribly broken and we have to try and fix it. I think the deficit goes on whether republicans or democrats are in charge and sometimes we point fingers too much and say its the fault of one party or the other. I think there is enough blame to go around. What i have come to the conclusion is we need more turnover. Im a fan of term limits. I think we will only improve when we have term limits and balanced Budget Amendment which force congress to do the job they seem inthe capable of doing. Senator rand paul, thank you for your time. Appreciate it. Thank you. So, on the republican side, two in, lots to go. A lot of issues to talk about. Going to be interesting. Speaking of the whouls. Natalie is here with new information only an alarming computer hack. Right. New tensions because of that this morning between the United States and russia as u. S. Officials are blaming russia for a recent cyber attack at the white house. The breach allowed hackers access to unclassified but still Sensitive Information including the president s private unpublished schedule. Nbc reported that the white house had been hacked last october at the time u. S. Officials suggested that russia was likely the culprit. Now they say an investigation proves that in fact the country was definitely behind the attack. History was made in ferguson, missouri tuesday night in the first election since Michael Brown was fatally shot by a white Police Officer, voters elected two africanamerican candidates to the city council. Up until now the council had just one black member. Even though two thirds of fergusons residents are africanamerican. Rahm emanuel won the runoff election. Getting reelected wasnt easy. He failed to gain a majority over four candidates in februarys election. He held off Jesus Chuy Garcia taking about 56 of the vote. A larger political stage, talking about the 2016 president ial election and Hillary Clinton is expected to officially throw her hat in the ring in the next weeks. Dr. Natalie azar sat down with president obama on tuesday and asked him if he had any words of wisdom for his former secretary of state . If the you had one piece of advice to give to Hillary Clinton right now, what would it be . Just if the shes her wonderful self im sure shes going to do great. Well have more from dr. Natalie azars interview coming up later on today. Two people were rescued in los angeles tuesday night from a burning sixstory building. The man and woman were trapped on the fifth floor of this commercial building, fire crews used a ladder to pull them to safety. They were uninjured. It took 170 firefighters to battle the flames and extinguish it. The cause is still under investigation. Congratulations to the uconn Womens Basketball team won their tenth National Championship tuesday night. Beating notre dame in the title game. The final 6353.

Take a look at this dog that takes that to a whole other level. The moment caught by a dashboard camera. You see there, that dog, the Saint Bernard dragging that poor young boy across the road. Fortunately, though, the boy wasnt injured. He got back up and all was well. And the dog got his walk clearly. Did go across the road. Dangerous. Could ended worse. Dylans in for al. How is it looking out west . We got some muchneeded snowfall back through tahoe a foot of snow. Its not going to fix the drought but any rain and snow at this point certainly will help.

This area of low pressure that is going to start to slide inland so the threat of rain and mountain snow is winding down. Temperatures a little cool, reno 57, 57 in eugene, oregon. Seattle looks for a nice day, partly cloudy, 62 degrees. Were going to see some of the rain and mountain snow push inland in the rockies.

A Police Officers in North Charleston South Carolina is being held on murder charges after a very alarming video surfaced. It shows the patrolman shooting 50yearold walter scott in the back as he ran away from what started out as a traffic stop. The officer claims he feared for his life after scuffling with the suspect. One u. S. Soldier has been killed, two others wounded in an ambush chuting in afghanistan, and afghan soldier opened fired shortly after a meeting between local leaders and u. S. Officials in jalalabad. And jurors are deliberating for a second day at the Boston Marathon bombing trial. They met for more than seven hours on tuesday, sending two questions to the judge that are being addressed this morning. And coming up will it be 2 for 1 on the campaign trail . What bill clinton is now saying about his role in his wifes expected run for the white house. Let us begin this half hour with a case weve been following for a couple months now. A florida judge has not ordered that sex allegations made against Prince Andrew and several other prominent men be struck from court records. In a among well talk to Alan Dershowitz whos been named in the carry. Keir simmons has more. Prince andrew has been informed of the decision. The American Woman at the center of all this had claimed she was sexually trafficked to highprofile individuals, including prominent american politicians, even world leaders, claim struck out by the Court Following a threemonth legal fight. The scandal surrounding Prince Andrew who appeared unshaken in public caused deep concern in the royal family. Now the lurid details have been struck from the record by a florida judge. This American Woman called jane doe number 3 in court alleged she had sex with andrew when she was 17 and that she is was paid 15,000 by a former friend of andrew registered sex offenders sex offender. The case is against the u. S. Government over a plea deal reached in 2008. The factual details regarding with whom and where the jane doughs engaged in sexual activities are immaterial to the case. Prince andrew will be hugely relieved about this. There was crisis meeting after crisis meeting about it. They wanted to make sure he got his viewpoint out there. Buckingham palace issued three denials and in january the prince made his own statement. I wish to reiterate and to reaffirm the statements which have already been made on my behalf by buckingham palace. He refused to answer questions. The woman at the center of it says but on today, his former wife Sara Ferguson defended him. Its defamation of character. Accusations against attorney Alan Dershowitz were also struck from the record. He spoke out earlier this year on today. Shes categorically lying and making it up. Insisting the claims against him and Prince Andrew are a complete fabrication. Alan dershowitz is vowing to keep fighting in court to prove the allegations are not true. Jane doe 3 is free to present relevant facts to the court and appear as a witness. So, matt, that may have the british royals worried all over again. Kier simmons, thank you very much. You mentioned Alan Dershowitz. Hes joining us now live. Good to see you. Likewise. Lets talk about what this judge says and does not say. The judge says the claims made against you and Prince Andrew and others are not material to the case that they are trying to join against the u. S. Government. What the judge does not say is whether the claims made by jane doe number 3 are true or untrue. Having said that whats your reaction . Well i feel completely legally vindicated. We filed a motion asking him to strike these claims as irrelevant and improperly put in the lawsuit. He cant determine whether its true or not. He hasnt heard evidence or witnesses. Ive submitted a sworn affidavit categorically denying it. There will be an opportunity for us to crossexamine this woman because weve served her. She tried to evade service. Weve served her and will crossexamine to prove that all of the allegations are false. You feel completely legally vindicated. Personally vindicated not yet in. No. We have a way to go. Im being sued by the lawyers for telling the truth on the today show. So theres another opportunity for me to prove that what i said is true. I also dont feel vind kapted in another way. The media splashed it on the papers. Theyve not printed that the judge vindicated us legally. Do you have any sense that jane doe number 3 has changed her tune or her story in regards to you and inappropriate actions and contact on your part . I hope so. If she repeats what she has said under oath in a deposition she will be committing perjury. And she will be appropriately charged and sentenced to prison. Remember the real victims are rape victims, real rape victims. When you have a situation like this where a woman makes up a charge or the Rolling Stone magazine case or the duke case that hurts real rape victims. Thats why there have to be consequences for these kinds of false charges. Let me ask you again directly. Do you categorically deny that you had any inappropriate contact with this woman who is now known as jane doe 3 . I never met her, i dont know who she is. I can prove she made it up. I will prove it categorically. When given an opportunity to do so in court, i feel entirely vindicated legally because the judges action puts me in a position i was in legally prior to any of these charges having been made. You are a legal scholar. Youre used to dealing with legal situations. Youre not used to being the center of a situation like this. What lessons have you learned as a result of this . You can lead your life absolutely perfectly. Im 76 years old. Ive never been charged with anything. You wake up one morning and youre absolutely, your life changes when youre charged with something you just didnt do. I have been involved in every aspect of the legal system, never understood what it means to be falsely charged and now i understand. I will fight back. Its essential to fight back. Not to allow them to go unanswered or the people that make them not to have consequences. Alan dershowitz. Nice to have you. Likewise. Lets get a check of the weather. Thanks matt. We havent talked about snow in a while. We might as well talk about more snow in central and northern new england. You can see near buffalo, its still rain. Heading north a little bit and its more of a wintry mix. We have thunderstorms to the north of detroit. We are losing visibility in the buffalo area. Its a very cold rain and across central and northern new england, the wind off the ocean, were going to see more or less snow through vermont into New Hampshire and up across maine. Well see a wintry mix in the boston area. It will change over to rain. As far as snowfall accumulation in this darker shade of blue here, the ski 7 38. Good morning to you. Im meteorologist Christina Loren. This is it as far as the radar goes right now. Just a little activity. Most of this is over the San Francisco bay. Its going to continue to clear as we head throughout the day today. Temperatures will be on the mild side. 65 degrees in the north bay. 62 in San Francisco. Big changes coming your way. As we get into the end of the week we will see the 70s. 70 for thursday into friday. And then by the weekend, maybe a little bit of drizzle late sunday into early monday. Hope you have a great day. And thats your latest forecast. Dylan, thank you. Just ahead, where do you go on a first date. Might be surprised on the most popular sports tore courting couples. A debate going this morning.

We expect Hillary Clinton to announce her president ial run soon. Bill clinton is opening up about about what his role will be in the campaign. Heres nbcs Andrea Mitchell. Never known to shy away from a campaign bill clinton vowing to step back when his wife runs in 2015. My role should primarily be a backstage adviser to her until we get much much closer to the election. Still offering advice even before shes formally announced her campaign. I think its important and hillary does too, that she go out there as if shes never run for anything before he said. The former president was hardly the perfect advocate in 08 sharply criticizing barack obama. This whole thing is the biggest fairytale ive ever seen. Now the man who run the white house twice and won rave reviews for his Convention Speech in 2012 says he doesnt think hes good at campaigning anymore. Explaining im not mad at anybody. Im a grandfather. I got to see my granddaughter last night. I cant be mad. Instead, the former president tells town and country, hell focus on the clinton global initiative. Each at this volunteer event last month, clinton was a magnet for reporters. Whats your opinion . That i shouldnt be making news. Deflecting questions about whether his wife would enter the race . I have nothing to say. I think i know which way you would vote. No you dont. But now, even just saying hell be a backstage adviser has landed bill clinton back on the front page. For today, Andrea Mitchell nbc news washington. No question as a couple they will generate an awful lot of attention. They do whether theyre running or not. Exactly. Still ahead, were counting down to our big reveal. Something exciting that could change your life. Its in that box right there. Come on. Wrapping paper too . The post office new maya angelou stamp, what could be done about it . After this. Flowers are for girls. Come on. Im gonna go check on the flowers. I thought flowers were for girls .

I think apple nailed it in terms of being a fashionable piece and a functional piece. What are the coolest features .

You can send animated emojis and digital drawings. I can send somebody my heartbeat.

We have more on the military Investigation Underway right now. A deadly attack on americans in afghanistan. Nbcs chief pentagon correspondent has all the details for us. What can you tell us . Details still a little sketchy. But the news is grim this morning, natalie. U. S. Officials tell nbc news that one american soldier was shot and killed two others wounded in a shooting incident involving an afghan soldier. The americans return fire and that afghan soldier was killed instantly. The incident occurred in eastern afghanistan. Following a meeting between u. S. Government and Afghan Government officials when suddenly without warning this afghan soldier supposedly one of the Friendly Forces opened fire. Now there were at least two others wounded. Their condition is not known. None of the u. S. Government officials who were at the scene initially were wounded in the attack. But even as the americans are beginning to withdraw from afghanistan, bringing that end to a war, and u. S. Forces no longer directly involved in combat. This is a grim reminder that those soldiers there in afghanistan remain in harms way. Natalie . Absolutely. Jim, thank you with those develop developments. A white Police Officer in South Carolina faces murder charges for shoogt and killing an unarmed africanamerican man.

I had the chance to sit down with him tuesday and i asked the president what impact he is seeing Climate Change vonn peoples health. H them on tuesday. We know theres going to be more severe wildfires, which means particulates in the air. We know the allergy season gets extended. Lower, hotter summers mean potential heatstroke. Theres a whole range of impacts. Whats exciting is youre seeing doctors, nurses medical schools trying to raise awareness. What do you say to the people who deny that Climate Change is real and its impacting our health . The good news is the number of climate deniers is shrinking rapidly, because the science is indisputable. I think people are starting to experience it. The good news is theres something we can do about it, and we save money in the long term. If you have one child with three, four five visits to the emergency room for asthma somebody is paying for that. Interesting interview with the president. Very interesting, and it was very clear from our meeting yesterday that he and his administration are incredibly passionate about this.

This blue zone where the doctor lives, the only one in the United States is just an hour outside los angeles in loma linda, california.

We have no idea. We try to do the best we could and work good with each other and hope there is chemistry or it would work. You are not novices. What is it like to be a leading man and woman in a major film. Exciting . Yeah really exciting. What an honor to be part of this film. Scott is handling it well. It feels surreal in a weird way. It doesnt feel any different for my life yet it is different. Have you come up with a celebrity divas yet . Maybe lavender lilies . A nap. I would love for them to schedule a lunch break. That would be awesome. The bull riding is the context to the film. Great bull riding scenes where you can go get i heard you were bummed out and you didnt get to do the bull riding interview. They pushed back. Ultimately i did it after the fact. You really did see that. Oh boy. They wont let you. How long did you stay on the bull . 2 1 2 seconds. Longer than you or i.

We are going down for real with one of our favorite good wednesday morning. Its 8 26. Im sam brock. Happening today a legal hearing that may well determine the very future of Affordable Housing all across california. The state Supreme Court will hear a challenge to the san jose ordinance called the inclusionary housing law. Legal appeals so far have kept it on hold for years. That ordinance requires developers to include below market constructions in the developments. Other cities across the state have similar policies. The housing industry calls the rules strong arm tactics that do not impact soaring housing costs. Right now its 8 26. If youre getting ready to fight traffic, lets look. Unfortunately coming through the Castro Valley, we have a slew of accidents. This is 580 eastbound. Also were looking at another one at Castro Valley and one happening a few minutes ago. This is one area you want to stay away from if you kchlt also the done bartin bridge had an doesnt five minutes ago and things are starting to move nicely but coming across the western span things are starting to slow. Thats going to be the trend. Even san jose is going to slow through the mountains. Back to you. A bit of a grind this morning, anthony. Well see you back in 20 minutes for another news update. For now we return you to the today show. April 8th 2015. We will get a great performance from flo rida in a few moments. If you are worried, we have a healthier version of pasta that you can make today. We are making spaghetti with turkey meatballs. Also we check out a new car from brilliant young designer that goes a long way on a small amount of fuel. Really smart kids on the plaza. First a check of the weather. In the northeast another chilly day, but elsewhere they are going to see a good threat of strong storms especially through Oklahoma Kansas and missouri. Tornados are possible with wind gusts near 70. Hail at least two inches in diameter with a very busy afternoon and evening. We will see the threat spread to the east from the great lakes in texas, but its in that zone in orange including eastern missouri and most of illinois where we can see the strongest storms again. As w 8 32. Good wednesday morning to you. Im meteorologist Christina Loren loren. That is the outer sunset district of San Francisco where temperatures are going to end up in the 60s today. Weve got a few lingering clouds out there. Were going to warm up considerably in the next couple of days into the 70s in san jose. Mid 60s in San Francisco. Finishing off the week through sunday clouds increase. We might get a few showers. Well have full details for you in just moments. Thats your latest forecast. Thank you very much. She is at it again with her new movie called desert dancer. Its a true story of an iranian who risked his to form an underdog dance company. The only one with any real importance. Dont worry about your technique. You dont have to think about it. Of course i do. You told me that. You can spend your whole life trying to perfect your technique, but you only make a difference when you find your own secret language. Thats when you start communicating. Welcome back. Its nice to see you. Thank you so much. Happy to have you. We had a chance to see you last night and my Immediate Reaction is this is not one of the roles you do for the money. This speaks to you. You do it because its taken years off my life. Its a whole year of training. Its the story of artistic repression. A repressive Iranian Regime and the main character is a young man who fell in love with dance at an early age. You look at the Global Scenario its not just iran. Thats one of the reasons why i love taking on films like this. The teacher in the movie said basically in iran there two pair bell worlds where there rules and regulations and the other takes place behind closed doors. What i knew about iran was a news channels give us or the media. I really didnt know about it. I come from india. We love dancing. It was alien to me. Have you danced on camera like this before. I watched you dancing with flo rida. I did see that. This has to be intimidating. This is. I think one year is daunting. When we started off, we had three months. You never get it on time and you keep getting pushed further and further. What do you want people to think about after they see this movie . I think we should really question the subject of expression itself. Freedom of expression. I will be free to express what we want to express or i will be forced to do things because of a threatened regime or group of people want us to put it out that way. Its a beautiful movie. Beautifully shot and acted. Always good to have you here. Thank you. Desert dancer will be in select theater this is friday and open nationwide on april 17th. Talented kids reshaping the future of the cars we drive. First, this is today on nbc. We are focusing on young innovators with concerns over energy and pollution. We start with a unique competition. The shell ecomarathon that urges them to go further with less energy. We caught up with a group of students in North Carolina who are rising to the challenge. Speed is not necessarily the name of the game in this marathon. Its not a race to the finish line. Its a race to efficiency. 100 teams, roughly 1,000 competitors from high schools and universities will gather in detroit this weekend for the ecomarathon, a truly unique challenge to design build, and drive the ultimate Energy Efficient vehicle. This has been one of the best experiences of my life. You learn so much doing this. In greensboro North Carolina students are putting the finishing touches on their entries. For the last five years, ricky lewis, an Automotive Instructor has been coaching teams in his free time. I feel like we win every time we go. Part of the challenge is getting there. When they show up for the competition, everybodys car looks different. Everyone has the same rules, but not everyone has the same funding. Many of his students come from modest means. There is no School Funding for this after school club. Limited sponsorship dont cover the 20,000 cost of the trip. The money part is the big challenge. He fronted some of his own money to make it happen. I get the phone calls about the credit card being up to the limit. Ingenuity is the greatest resource. This is what we picked up on the side of the road. Nearly everything is recycled. Auto bodies make from lead crutches and walkers, transformed into vehicles that will be committed into two categories. Prototype for maximum efficiency or urban concept, practical designs for the roads. Did you put them on before. A key adviser from the start. The biggest thing is the confidence. A lot of kids do not have opportunities that other families might have. They have seen students from around the world. They came to the United States from sudan two years ago. I want to be an energy. Her goals are simple. Joanna said on this team gender stereotypes are left at the door. Ever since i was 3, i have been playing with cars. I love to go into Mechanical Engineering and i want to go to mit. They are learning so much more than how to build a car. Teamwork you have to communicate with somebody else. They are involved with real world problem solving. And adventure and a unique race where getting to the starting line is considered a win. It does feel good when you see it take off. We top the say good luck to our friends at dudley high school. We are joined by the winners of last years ecomarathon. They are from sullivan indiana. Nathan brandon and team adviser brandon small. Best of luck to all of you. I will start with you. You have to put it in laymans terms. Tell me what you are working on this year. We are competing and we brought two cars. The other is the urban concept that is a new car and the first year we will compete with them. We will see a live picture, but you started this out of your classroom eight years ago. What does it mean. Well, you know we started this as just an educational tool so my students could apply thinks they were learning in class, science, technology and math, to a realworld application, to a project. So you know the kids whenever you throw the word competition into it they get all excited. And you obviously get a trip to new york. Thats not bad. Has this been an exciting experience . Yeah a great experience. Im proud of everyone on the team. Its not just us four its the entire team. And that is the point, brian and brandon, you make actually this work thats happening is the continuation of work that started eight years ago with this team right coach . This is an engineering competition. In the spirit of innovation we have started eight years ago, and every year we learn something more. Thats how we become successful. Youve been successful. We love seeing your creations there. Good luck with the competition. By the way were initiating our own contest to highlight even more young inventors. Well have more on that and introduce you to our special pan of judges. Thats tomorrow on the show. Coming up next a dieters dream. We are cooking up healthy pasta, yes, Joe Bastianich says it exists. Hes written a book but first this is today on nbc. You have rip awritten a book about it. We are back with todays kitchen easy does it. Joe bastianich is out to prove pasta can be healthy to eat. Hes here with recipes from healthy pasta. Joe, good to see you. Nice to see you, matt. What makes it healthy . How we feed or ingredients, and pasta is a super food all 500 calories or less. The reason you make them the ingredients used and the way you cook it. We start with the holy trinity of italian food carrots, parsley, and onions and were going to pulse that with so basically making a paste, a mire poix paste. And use it twice in this recipe . This is what it comes out looking like. To make the sauce, the first sauce. We cook it with olive oil, and add in the san mar sando tomatoes, once reduced, this is the water from the pasta. The pasta is cook already. Al in oregano, some chili flakes. Thats a lot. And then some salt. We let it cook and reduce. 20 minutes, a half hour under the right consistency. So now the mirepoix and p you guy the whole canned tomatoes crush them with your hands. The second half of the goes into the meatballs, bread crumbs grande padano and one whole egg. You would do it with your hands . I am. But you dont want to make it dense. You dont want to overwork it. This is the finished product. That is ha been cooked . Yes. You cant be a meatball denier. You have to have meatballs in your life. These are turkey meatballs, so theyre good for you. 500 calories is not a lot. You think about it. One point of pasta, six servings even if you double it up youre under 1,000 calories and thats a huge portion of food. Were going to make meatballs, which is all about the love. You have to work it in there, and then you make the meatballs. I like them a bit smaller. You put them on a sheet pan. Were not going to fry them. Were going to bake them. It doesnt take long. So therefore youre cutting down on calories. Were not frying anything. Were adding cheese at the very end. You could have these great ingredients, but its a matter of when you put them in. You cooked the spaghetti ahead of time now you put that underneath you can use obviously other pastas. Yeah. The meatball fin cooking in the sought themselves. How long . This is not science. As long as it takes. 5, 10 minutes . How many glasses of wine are you going to drink . Its all about drinking wine as you cook. You probably know that. You are a wine guy. We have some two super red wines, one from tuscany, and two red wines, this is the kind of foot that goes with a lighter red wine. Perfect for this. Perfect for drinking while cooking, drinking while serving and drinking while eaten. And perfect while eating a 00calorie pasta spaghetti with turkey meatballs. Thank you very much.

Katie is here with a look. Good morning. First of all, it looks cool. A lot of hype surrounding the watch. Does it live up to the hype . Its fashion and function. They nailed it in the sense that its a statement piece as much as a time piece. You can make calls with it and read emails and send texts with your voice. Its awesome, but again this is something that you want to wear. A number of different color band options and styles. Its all about personalization. They are not the first of the market, but they put that apple touch on it that makes you think they do a good job of creating that. Is it a one size thing . Two sizes.

Like the iphone and i talk into the watch. Never answered more texts or phone calls while in the bathroom. Everybody can hear your conversation. Its actually a good quality. You sound like you are talking on a regular phone. Not like your watch. Everyone can hear your phone conversation. You pick up and answer on the watch. You have an opportunity to answer on the phone too. You have a call. You talk about the limitations. You have to have an iphone. Thats correct. If you are adamant about tracking your sleep, there is no sleep tracking capability. Its not water proof. You dont go out on a rainy day. You want to make sure you dont get it water logged. Its water resistant, not water proof. After its a big deal. A limited number that is not even on the market. That will be resolved. And it has a price point. It starts at 3 49 but apple does a great job of making you feel like you have the latest gadget. I was with someone last night who has the watch. Already . I said take me through why i need it . Its quick interaction. You are not composing emails on your watch, but his wife for example, texted him while she had to take the kids to the doctor and he spoke into his phone. Im so sorry i will call you when im done. Quick interface. I was at a Business Interview and i being looked down and i saw a message and i knew everything was okay and i didnt have to dig for the phone in my purse.

I joked are there any scenes where you kissed in the rain . No but i get pulled out of a burning car in the rain. So theres still rain in the movie. What did you make of the story when you first read it . You know what i love about this story is that it has young romance in it, which is very sweet to see. But the movie doesnt end with the couple finding out that they want to be together for the rest of their lives. It deals with the difficulty of being with somebody who you find out youre sort of mismatched with and how do you make that work . Very true. The fact is all people who were meant for each other are also mismatched, because were human, you know . You have to learn to live side by side much more interesting than just listening to your hormones and young love. Were almost out of time about you i heard you agreed to play two truths and a lie . We dont get to do this with a legend every day. All right. So theyre all three stories about how i almost died on Opening Night on the stage. So the first one is we had a ladder that i had to make my entrance on. I had to jump up on the ladder. On Opening Night, i missed the second step and i wound up on the ladder started walking across the stage, and i couldnt keep my balance. So i said my opening line on the floor. Thats one. The other was i was playing a much older man and had crepe hair fake hair all over and one hair got loose, i took a breath, it went down my throat and i started choking. Were laughing at the choking. Im almost dying. Okay. The third one was i had to smoke a cigarette on stage, i was all by myself. I didnt know how to smoke, and i put the match i thought the match was out, held it down by my side and my robe caught fire. First of all, youre a great liar. Im convinced of all. Im going to say the third. Im going to say the second one. Is the lie . The lie was the ladder. I did catch fire on Opening Night, and i did nearly choke. They had to bring the curtain down. I was choking. The audience said look at him coughing like that, hes so realistic. Hes going to die right in front of us. Alan alda thank you so much and the longest ride opens this friday.

The classic meat and potatoes dinner with a new im brian vickers, nascar® driver. Im kevin nealon comedian. And im arnold palmer, professional golfer. Know what we have in common . We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. Me, when i had a blood clot in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. Thats why i took xarelto®, too. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. I took xarelto® for afib. An irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. Hey, well im glad we got together. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. I tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. Tell me about it. Lets see, golf clinic, or blood clinic . Ooh, thats a tough one. Not this time. Not with xarelto®. Anything else . Ill have another arnold palmer. Ok. Make mine a kevin nealon. Really, brian . Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u. S. And that numbers growing. Like your guys scores. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. You may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. Mornings got you a little. puppy squeal grab the good energy of quaker oats.

And this is based on a true story. This is based on a true story. A true story that i can did not know of. Whatever you hear about iran or the regime or, you know, just freedom of expression is all through news channels and version of the actual story, but to actually hear what the story is all about from the circumstantial is phenomenal to be a part of a film like this. Its an illegal dance group basically. Youre not allowed to dance at all in their society, right . At least not what they are trying to do as well. I mean, theres a that kind of excitement. You, i would imagine watching this, i didnt know freida is of a dancer. Is freida a dancer . Darn good actress. Acted like shes a dancer. Im actually quite happy when i saw the final piece because i go, thats one year of training, if i had 30 years of training i feel like it would have been so much easier. How much training did you have to do . About four hours a day, six hours a day, for the last six months was eight hours a day. Dancing with the stars, youll nail it next time. Youre dancing in the desert which looks strenuous. It is because you dont realize how much more difficult this is not dancing on a flat surface. And they try to throw boards under the sand, so it made it worse. We were kind of bansing off planks, and it didnt feel natural right. And morocco. Yeah. It was meant to be the better time of the year it still gets hot, its the desert. What do you hope people will take from the movie . I think a lot of people probably dont know how oppressive it was at the time this was filmed. Its such a global subject matter as well. You know, we talk about charlie hebdo, things that happen in india film gets banned, and or things that happened here in america. And really the obsession of freedom of expression is a universal subject. And so i really hope that people watch a film like this, it starts a conversation. And i really also hope that we dont incriminate a certain country, oh that happens in iran, this doesnt happen in my part of the world. You need to take a look at whats happening in my own world. Any time you try stop something natural. Look at a baby were supposed to dance. Right. Right expression and joyous to your creator. Thank you. Youre so beautiful by the way. Isnt she .
