Lashing out at the media over allegations he is not telling the truth over a scholarship offer to west point. Donald trump gearing up to host saturday night live tonight. I love this hair. As latino groups prepare for a big protest and they call to disrupt the live broadcast. And no jackpot for you. An oregon woman wins 8 million from a casino and only walks away empty handed. She may roll the dice on the lawsuit. That is today, saturday, november 7th, 2015. Announcer from nbc news, this is today, live from rockefeller plaza. And welcome to today on this saturday morning. I am erica hill. Im craig melvin alongside dylan dreyer and sheinelle jones. And roker. He is in alaska. He said it is colder in alaska. He has a lot of friends. I was jealous of the hawaii weather. Alaska, not so much. You will be out there soon enough. Its coming. Al, we will see you in a bit. Looking forward. Lets start with the top story on saturday morning. Two Police Officers now under arrest in the shooting death of a 6yearold in louisiana. Sheinelle is here with the latest. What do we know . It happened during a confrontation with the boys father. This morning, it is the officers who are facing justice. Officers norris greenhouse jr. And Derrick Stafford are facing charges of seconddegree murder in the death of 6yearold jeremy mardis. He was killed when the city marshals opened fire on his fathers suv. Chris few was critically injuried during the police chase. Jeremy buckled in the front seat was struck several times in the head and chest. In a press conference on friday, colonel Mike Edmonson declined to say why they were in pursuit of chris few. An investigation has been under way with the 911 calls and witness testimony and body cam video worn by the officers which has not been released. Describing the video. I can tell you as a father this is one of the most disturbing things i witnessed. Jeremys father indicated the boy was autistic. He did not deserve to die like this. Thats whats important. That little boy was buckled in the front seat of that vehicle and that is how he died. Two other officers were involved in the incident, but the superintendent declined to say whether more arrests would follow. Guys. Sheinelle, thank you. Homeland security is working with foreign governments to tighten security at airports with direct flights to the united states. This, of course, comes in the wake of the russian plane crash over egypt killing all 224 on board. With tens of thousands of russians now stranded in egypt as well, we have nbcs chief correspondent bill neely joining us from Sharm El Sheikh. Bill, good morning. Reporter good morning, erica. The latest count is 93 russian planes on stand by to fly here and bring home 50,000 russian tourists. Extraordinary. There are also 20,000 british holiday makers. It is looking like a mass exodus from here after an event that is looking more and more like mass murder. The flight recorders revealing a violent and sudden event. Investigators cannot find anything mechanical to match it. A childs book amid the wreckage of the crash french investigators are now convinced was not caused by a technical failu failure. Sources told french media on the cockpit voice recorder, the sound of an explosion could be heard, before that, the cockpit was absolutely normal with no technical failure reported on the second black box until the moment of the explosion. This doesnt solve what caused it. It could have been an explosive device that was put on the aircraft or it could have been the sound of the aircraft going through what we call an explosive decompression. Reporter but u. S. Officials tell nbc news that intelligence intercepts reveal isis fighters in sinai promising Something Big before the crash, then bragging just after it, to their leaders in syria, that they had taken down the plane. The growing suspicion it might be a bomb convinced russia to stop all flights to egypt. 50,000 russian tourists now in Sharm El Sheikh where the plane took off. It was the intelligence chief who recommended russian planes stop flying here. Intelligence shared with the u. S. And britain. Almost unprecedented. We still dont know what the intelligence is. British officials now believe a bomb may have been put in the cargo hold inside or on top of luggage. Airport workers and equipment thoroughly searched while we filmed, but suspicion is falling on staff and lax security here. Egyptian Security Officials are searching an airport under scrutiny in a region where isis is known to operate. Tourists, victims and tourists trapped here. Tens of thousands of them now waiting to be evacuated home. And in a few hours time, a major statement from egypt which is leading the investigation. No one is yet ruling out mechanical failure. I dont believe egypt will. More and more evidence, erica, is pointing to terrorism. Bill neely, thank you. To politics. Republican frontrunner ben carson under fire questioned about his account of a scholarship offer to west point years ago. This morning, some republican rivals are piling on. Senior White House Correspondent Chris Jansing is here. Ben carson is feeling the pressure on being on top of the polls. Voters like his honesty. That is now under attack. He fought back in a press conference. Ben carson as we have not seen him before. They understand this is a witch hunt. Reporter combative and claiming voters are on his side against the media. You will not find somebody who will sit back and let you be completely unfair without letting the American People know. Reporter carson is denying the reports of the fabrication. I offered a full scholarship at west point. Reporter west point never accepted carson. He now acknowledges it was not anything formal. Several of the high brass told me i would be somebody they would be interested in in the military. I interpreted it as an offer. Reporter this is not the first time carson has been accused of embellishing and whether he had a violent temper to his youth. It is all a new level of scrutiny as carson shares frontrunner status with donald trump who did not waste time. Wow, he wrote, one of many lies by ben carson. Big story. Chris christie weighed in too. Dr. Carson will have to answer for it. He will have to answer for the voters. They have to decide. Reporter how the campaign suggests the competition is spreading lies. Suddenly we are number one. Someone is passing dirt all over town. Reporter and past controversies have strengthened his support among the conservative base. He is continually cast himself as an outsider who is persecuted by the political and media elite. This may feed into that narrative. Reporter strategists say there is risk in going after the most popular candidate in the race. Jeb bush has come to his defense calling ben carsons story inspirational. If it is between carson and media story, im going with ben carson. Chris, thank you. A new book is making a lot of waves on the campaign trail. There is some talk of whether it could turn into another headache for candidate jeb bush. It is called destiny in power. The american odyssey of george h. W. Bush. It is authored by jon meacham. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. I want to talk about what chris just laid out for us with ben carson. What is the impact of this particular issue on his campaign . Most of us judge on historic historical. 2016 has alluded all analogy with trump and carson so far ahead. The past may not be much of a guide here. I suspect it is a bump in the road for carson. As mentioned a second ago. It is an Unconventional Campaign in an unconventional year. The conventional rules of how campaigns can go off track sometimes probably dont apply. It is something we will be following closely. Talking about your book, it made headlines this week as we learned more about george h. W. Bushs view of his sons insiders when he was in the white house. Elder bush saying cheney had his empire and rumsfeld had a lack of humility. Jeb bush, the third bush in the equation. We asked him and he said his dad was trying to create a different narrative for his brother. Is that your take . I think president bush 41 was speaking to history. He thought that at times, the style of the 43 Bush Administration was hawkish in a way that probably did not represent the substance of that administration. This is a work of history. It was the long view on 41s part. I think the key thing about this is the president 41 was making a point that diplomacy and force are not competitive. They should be complementary. That was the view in the second term that bush 43 came to as well. We bring bush into the equation, there is some concern about the timing of the book by those in his circle and whether or not it could have a negative impact on his campaign. I think most people agree 2016 is not a conventional campaign year. Is this the thing you think could impact jeb bushs campaign . I honestly dont. I have been surprised by that line of analysis. It seems to me that the story of his father, remarkable american odyssey, youngest pilot in the navy. Young man who joined the navy on his 18th birthday. Shot down over the pacific at age 20. Served his country for a half century. You know, the story of his father, who is arguably the most inspirational and important man in jeb bushs life, seems to me more people who know about bush 41 might take a look at his son with another clearer set of eyes. If anything, it seems to me, that the conversation about the bush family is neutral on 16 and arguably possibly positive because it does remind people of the familys remarkable legacy of public service. I have to admit, i just got it last night. 900 pages. Youre not done yet . Shocking. I know you had unrestricted access to the former president s diaries. Looking forward to the read. Jon, thank you. Thanks, erica. The book is destiny in power. And one of the men who hopes to be the next president is taking center stage. Republican candidate donald trump hosting saturday night live. Latino groups angry about his comments of immigrants are set to march from trump tower to 30 rock. Barriers were set up today when we arrived at work. Protesters say trump should not host the show, especially nbcs decision to cut business ties with donald trump earlier this year. For his part, trump says snl will, brace yourself, will have the highest ratings ever. Huge lets turn to sheinelle right now with a violent jay walking arrest caught on tape. In austin. The officers actions seemed to start with a case of jay walking. It was captured on tape and several people crossing the street were confronted by police. The eyewitness video described police punching the men trying to detain. Police will look into whether this is a response to resisting arrest. Police in austin are also investigating the shooting of a state judge. District judge is recovering from what doctors are calling a serious injury. She just driven into her driveway when the shooting took place. The subject of the podcast is getting an appeal. The right to bring new evidence to overturn his murder convicti conviction.

See what happens. This is why you play the table games. Thats why you play craps. Thats your game . Yes. Dylan dreyer, when she is not in vegas, she is here giving us the forecast. How do we look today . More rain in texas. I feel like texas cant catch a break. El nino means rain for eastern texas. That is what we are seeing. Although this round of rain doesnt look like it will sit over the same areas. It is not producing several inches of rain, but maybe 2 from dallas to houston. It is extending into the gulf coast through louisiana and through the day you see it exit texas and along the coastline from southern louisiana to mississippi, alabama and panhandle of florida. We could see locally heavy downpours because it is tropical in nature. In a brief period of one to two hours, you could have 1 to 2 inches of rain.

It looks like a big one. The biggest. Reporter in 1978, 6 million in cash and jewels from jfk airport. Inspired part of the movie good fellas. Over the past few weeks, the jury got a look at what happened. After they got away with the van of 6 million in cash and jewelry, they ren rendevoued away from the airport. Reporter much of the testimony came from his cousin who turned government witness often wearing a wire. Testifying about asaros association with real life characters like the man robert di nero portrayed. It has been a time capsule. Reporter at times, asaro was telling his attorney thats not true. In the closing, the defense is expected to attack valenti and others who testified against asaro. Painting them as criminals and liars. The government argued these are demented individuals. Reporter the jury will have to decide who to believe. The u. S. Attorney called this the mafia at the darkest. The closing arguments are monday. If convicted, he faces life in prison.

Reporter authorities now have three cell phones in their possession and say kids were hiding the images using photo vault apps on their phones.

Else where still cold in the 40s from San Francisco down to the south bay. Later on, well hang on to the chill. 65 for San Francisco. Only low 70s for our warmest locations from the north bay down to the south bay. In between, everyone in between will see temperatures in the mid 60s. We do have rain in the forecast for tomorrow. And some sierra snow. Well talk more about that coming up. It sounds like a good forecast on the way. Thanks. Many of us look forward to fresh local crab this time of year. The much anticipated season is being put on hold here. Because the seafood is being deemed too toxic to eat. An algae bloom off the coast has raised naturally occurring toxin levels in the crust 8sans making them too dangerous to eat. This means the commercial crab season is delayed. And rock crab season is completely closed. So what does this mean for us . Expect prices to skyrocket. Is. The fishermen going out. Maybe 20 a pound easily. Restaurants, 60 for a crab. On thursday, california fish and game held an emergency meting and voted to suspend recreational crabbing from oregon to santa barbara. Trying to win back its customers. A san jose restaurant linked to the recent shigella scare has reopened. It is being blamed for nearly 200 reported cases of the highly contagious bacteria. It happened in six counties.

Yes, american Security Officials have told nbc news about isis celebrations after the crash of a russian plane in the sinai peninsula, that word as investigators scour the crash site for clues about an explosive device to determine if thats what caused the metro jet to break apart killing all 224 people on board. Bill neely joins us from Sharm Elsheik where the flight originated. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Lots of stranded tourists here and at the latest count 93 russian planes on standby to fly here. And take out 50,000 russian passengers, extraordinary numbers, also 20,000 british holiday makers. So a mass exodus after a crash thats increasingly looking like mass murder. The planes flight recorders seem to reveal nothing mechanical. French investigators who listened to the black box recorders saying there was a sound of a massive explosion before that absolutely nothing abnormal. And the second black box recorder recording nothing technical. So some of the evidence pointing toward an explosion. Russia clearly concurring with that and it has suspended all flights to egypt. U. S. Officials picking up that isis chatter, isis operatives promising Something Big before the explosion, then bragging to their leaders in syria after it, that they had taken down a plane. British officials saying they believe or suspect that a bomb was probably smuggled onto the hold of that plane, possibly by airport workers and they are looking at lax security. All of the focus certainly is on terrorism. And there will be a major statement from egypt which is leading the investigation, thats in just under two hours time. Remember, nobody is ruling out mechanical failure as a possible cause, but more and more evidence is pointing to terrorism. Its concerning. Thank you.

In the northwest we saw that waterfall starting to run again because of the rain and snow were getting with these big coastal storms making their way in. They cause wind and rain in those areas where we could end up with an inch of rain and in some of the highest elevations should end up with six to 12 inches of snow. That is good news. That snow obviously gets everyone through the wintertime. This cold front is also bringing rain through texas, louisiana and eventually into the southeast as we go into tomorrow.

Before fibromyalgia, i was active. I was a doer. Then the chronic, widespread pain slowed me down. My doctor and i agreed that moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. He also prescribed lyrica. For some patients, lyrica significantly relieves fibromyalgia pain and improves physical function. With less pain, i feel better. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression or unusual changes in mood or behavior. Or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. Common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. Fibromyalgia may have changed things.
