Its another busy news morning. Lets get right to that breaking news down in charlotte, north carolina. Protests over a Deadly Police shooting there setting off a wave of angry protests. Nbcs chris has the latest on this for us. Good morning to you. Matt, good morning to you. The scene here, far different than what it was just a few short hours ago. Protesters remained on the street into the wee hours of the Early Morning following the shooting of an africanamerican man that police say was armed and dangerous. But Family Members say was disabled and carrying nothing more than a book. Chaos erupting overnight in charlotte, north carolina. After a 43yearold black man was fatally shot by police at an apartment complex. We got shots fired. One suspect down, legacy court. All officers, at 104. Weve got one suspect down. Authorities say officers were trying to serve a warrant to a different man tuesday afternoon when they encountered Keith Lamont Scott who they say was armed. As they engage him, he is armed with a handgun that we found on the scene, as well. Makes some imminent threat to them and because of that, at least one of our officers fired rounds at the subject, shooting him. News of scotts death spread quickly, sparking protests near the site of the shooting. Demonstrators faced off with Police Wearing riot gear. Why do you have a gas mask . I dont have a gas mask. Clash, officers. Theyre jumping on top of cars, stopping traffic. Theyve got the entire intersection blocked. Were going to need units down here really quick. Members of scotts family told local news outlets that he was not armed. Instead, they say he had been clutching a book while waitinging to pick up a child after school. A woman who has been identified as a Family Member of the investigavictim had this to say. He didnt have no gun. He wasnt messing with nobody. They said hands up. He got a gun. He got a gun. Pow, pow, pow, pow been thats it. Officials say at least a dozen officers suffered nonlife threatening injuries during the protests. Now, that was a street sweeper just came by a few moments ago cleaning up some of the debris, the rocks, the bottles left over from the overnight protests.

Matt, savannah, back to you. Chris klackum down in charlotte. Thank you very much. Federal terror charges have now been filed against the suspect in those bombing and bombing attempts here in new york and new jersey. This is his personal journal revealed much more about a possible motive in the case. Lets begin our coverage with migu miguel. Good morning to you. Savannah, good morning. That new criminal complaint says the fbi began watching ahmad rahami outside of his home the day after the bombing. It says he was worried he would be captured before he, quote, carries off his jihad,. Today, the bombing of public places, new details emerging from his criminal complaint. The fbi says rahami began ordering materials to build bombs in june, buying some stems items on ebay under his own name. The day of the bombings, rahami drove himself into manhattan through the lincoln tunnel. The ieds injured approximately 31 people in new york. One victim had to have multiple ball bearings removed from her body. After a shootout with police, investigators say they found a bullet pierced journal on rahami, filled with antiamerican sentiment, written inside you usa government continue your lawsuiters against the mujahidean, be it iraq he also praised Osama Bin Laden and the journal says with god willing, the sounds of the bombs will be heard in the streets, gunshots to on your police. Death to your oppression. Tuesday, rahamis father, mohammed, confirmed he spoke to the fbi in 2014. A neighbor told Police Mohammed called his son a terrorist after ahmad stabbed his brother in the leg during a fight. Mohamed rahami later told the fbi he was just angry and had no reason to think his son was a terrorist. With the officers rahami is accused of woupgd now released from the hospital how are you feeling . Im feeling like i got shot. Im glad to be alive. Im glad to be home. Investigators are now looking into the suspects frequent visits to pakistan and afghanistan. In 2011, rahami married asia bi by raham had i. She was living in pakistan and granted a visa to enter the u. S. Overseas when the bombing occurred, shes been questioned by investigators in the united arab emirates, denying any prior knowledge of the attacks, according to a senior Law Enforcement official. We have nothing to indicate at this point that shes involved. This morning, a clearer picture of the suspect, one investigators paint as antiamerican and ready to kill. The criminal complaint also says raham had i watched jihad videos from his social media account and added a Family Member took cell phone video of him inside his backyard using incendiary devices. Back to you. Thank you. Nbc news analyst once served as the Deputy National security adviser under president george w. Bush, juan, good morning. Good morning. Good to see you, matt. You were asked about whether raham had i acted alone or whether he had help. Were 24 hours further into this right now. Based on what youve heard or read, are you moving in either direction on that . Its clear theres more suspicion around the family, especially given the information about this individual crow taken at the home two days prior to the attack. Which seems to be some sort of test of the incendiary device. So that begins to raise questions as to whether or not the family knew more than has been suggested. And certainly suggests, as we talked about yesterday, matt, that this was not a hermit terrorist. This was an individual who was still living with his family and not hiding his views. Even as you say that, juan, we know there was tension between the son and the father. And knowing about unusual activity is different than helping someone. Absolutely right. And weve got to be very careful about that. But no doubt, authorities are looking very closely at the family relationships. And, matt, as weve seen over time, these terrorists, even if Family Members arent aware, sometimes have social networks of some sort that are supporting the cause. So i think we have to be careful about the lone wolf narrative and mythology because often these are individuals that have some degree of support. And we now know, juan, that there was contact with this individual in the sense of talking to the Family Members after a report about a Domestic Violence incident, checking databases, the fbi said it did an assessment, which is less than an investigation. The fbi never spoke to rahami itself. Well, given whats happened, it does. It seems like talking to him would have been helpful, perhaps checking into his travel records more deeply would have helped as well. The fbi in some ways is whipsawed, though, because they are charged with not only trying to prevent attacks but they also have to protect constitutional rights. Their guidelines require them to close investigations and these preliminary investigations if there is not evidence that raises suspicions. So they cant just keep lists of people that are potentially problematic. They have to have a reason for that and that really binds what the fbi can do. Juan, thank you very much. And now to the state of the president ial race, 48 days left until the election. Hillary clinton delivering an address in orlando today laying out her plan for what the campaign is calling an inclusive economy. Donald trump is holding a rally in toledo, ohio, one of the battleground states hes visited most since securing the republican information. Our latest data shows clinton outspending her rival by a 51 margin in advertising. To date the Clinton Campaign poured more than 96 million into ads during this general election. Trumps Campaign Just over 17 million. Nbc National Correspondent Peter Alexander is here in new york covering it all. Peter, good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you. Were now just five days away from that crucial first president ial debate. This morning donald trump is fighting back against tough new questions about his Charitable Foundation and whether it violated laws that prohibit nonprofit leaders from using Charity Money to benefit themselves or their businesses. Under scrutiny again this morning, Donald Trumps Charitable Foundation. New yorks attorney general, a democrat, telling nbc news hes looking into whether trump used money from the charity to pay for his own legal settlements. The Washington Post reporting trump spent 258,000 to settle various lawsuits. That includes a deal with a golfer who made a Million Dollar hole in one during a Charity Tournament at one of trumps courses but later settled for 158,000 because of a rules dispute. That payment reportedly coming not from a business or personal account, but from the Trump Foundation. Instead of those businesses paying money, trump had his charity pay money. Thats against the rules if you use your charitys money to pay off debts your businesses have incurred. Reporter the post also reporting this 4foot tall portrait of trump was purchased with 10,000 of Charity Money. Overnight the Trump Campaign responding, accusing the post of getting their facts wrong but not identifying a single example, adding there was not and could not be any intent or motive for the Trump Foundation to make improper payments. Still the republican nominee is teeing off. I mean honestly, places like afghanistan are safer than some of our inner cities. Reporter mocking Hillary Clinton for taking a day off the trail, tweeting sleep well, hillary, see you at the debates. In fact clinton spent the day working, according to aides, hosting a counterterrorism call with National Security advisers. Meanwhile donald trump jr. Is still under fire for a tweet comparing refugees to poisoned candy. An analogy hes made before. If we had a bowl of skittles on this table and three of the thousand were poisonous, would you take from the bowl . You want to figure out which is bad. Reporter twitter igniting with outrage including this photo of a young syrian refugee. Mike pence responding with nbcs kelly odonnell. I think whats insensitive is to turn a blind eye to policies that are very likely compromising the safety and security of the american people. Reporter the campaign blame the firestorm on people who would rather be politically correct than safe, praising don jr. As a tremendous asset. Ironically according to the bbc this morning, the british man who took that original photo, that image of the bowl of skittles used in donald trump jr. s tweet was himself a refugee. Matt and savannah. Peter alexander, thank you. We told you about those violent demonstrations in charlotte overnight. Protests are also growing over yet another fatal Police Shooting, this one of an unarmed man in tulsa, oklahoma. Nbcs Janet Shamlian is there. Janet, good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning. These videos have touched a nerve well beyond tulsa. Sparking anger and frustration across the country. And now this morning for the first time, we are hearing the officers side of the story. Protests in tulsa, as a wave of outrage grows this morning over the death of terence crutcher. Why is he being treated like a criminal when hes done nothing wrong . Reporter videos of the unarmed father of four with his hands in the air being shot by officer betty shelby stirring anger. From the campaign trail where Hillary Clinton tweeted this should be intolerable. And basketball player dwyane wade posting we must show our strength as a black community more. Shots fired reporter crutcher was tasered by one officer and shot by another. For more than two minutes, no one goes to check on him. He died later at the hospital. Its pure devastation. Reporter his twin sister, tiffany. The Excessive Force and all of that is just uncalled for when someones hands are up. And thats what happened. Reporter this morning, officer betty shelbys side of the story from her attorney. She became concerned about him reaching for his left pocket, despite being commanded not to. Reporter according to a report in the tulsa world citing the lead investigator on the case, a vial of pcp was found in crutchers vehicle. Crutchers family says even if that is true, its no justification for deadly force. This was an unjustified killing. The position of the family is resolute on this matter. Reporter unlike what we saw in charlotte last night, the protests here have been peaceful, but they come amid calls from Terence Crutchers family for charges to be filed against the Police Officer. Matt and savannah. Janet, thank you. Now to an attack on an aid convoy in syria. It has led the u. N. To suspend all aid deliveries there. The Obama Administration is now blaming russia for the bombing. Here is nbcs bill neely. Reporter good morning, matt and savannah. There have been more bitter exchanges between the u. S. And russia over this, one of the worst incidents of this long war, the destruction of that aid convoy. Here in syria today, not a single piece of aid has got through to the hundreds of thousands of people who desperately need it. Aid convoys have been fired on before in syria, but never like this. Food, clothes and medical supplies for 78,000 people targeted. Aid workers killed. It was hit just 30 minutes after the latest ceasefire ended. More than 20 vehicles, 20 trucks reporter u. S. Officials have told reuters that two russian warplanes were above the convoy at the exact moment it was hit. The white house blames russia. There only could have been two entities responsible, either the Syrian Regime or the russian government. Reporter russia says it didnt do it and claims syrian warplanes cant fly at night. Moscow concedes it was tracking the convoy with a drone and blames this rebel vehicle carrying a heavy weapon. The u. N. Says it knew the area wasnt safe but alerted everyone to the clearly marked convoy. If this attack was deliberate, it could well amount to a war crime. Reporter more air strikes are now killing and injuring and a merciless war is dragging on. While it may be difficult to prove who did this and reports this morning of another attack on a Medical Clinic near aleppo killing four workers. Rebels blaming an air strike. The ceasefire here is history. Matt, savannah. Bill neely, thank you. Mr. Roker here with a first check of the weather. Theres some Severe Weather in the upper midwest and flood watches involved.

One clinton staffer twooit tw e a photo of eisenhower doing it. There you go. Now to the breakup a lot of people are talking about. Angelina jolie filing for divorce from brad pitt. This morning, both actors are speaking out about the swlit. Natalie has more from los angeles on this. In the world of alist hollywood marriages, brad and angelina are in a league of their own. But now after 12 years and six children together, brangelina is no more. On monday, just weeks after this twoyear wedding anniversary, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from brad pitt. She quited irreconcilable differences and asked for sole physical custody of the six kids. Jolies rep said angelina will always do whats in the best interests of her children. Brad and angelina both came into the marriage with very different ideas of parenting. Over the the the years, they would had tell people one of them was very strict and the other of them was very soft. So parenting, its safe to say, a pretty tense negotiation at times. The couple last spotted together in l. A. In july met in 2003 on the set of mr. And mrs. Smith. On the scale of one to ten, how happy are you as a couple . When pitt was still married to jennifer aniston. They later divorced and brangelina was born. Both pitt and jolie both denied any affair. I wouldnt be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife. Three adopted and three biological children later, the couple finally tied the knot in 2014. Jolie painting a picture of domestic bliss to tom brokaw. It was just in that feeling of security and comfort that we always had, recommitting after ten years of being together, not because we had to, but because we were absolutely sure we felt that much of a family and it was that moment. But recently, rumors of tabloid strife. Tabloids suggest pitt used drugs and hole and had an extra marital affair. Both sides say there were no truth to rumors of infidelity or substance abuse. Brad made it clear his focus right now is on the kids. I think hes very worried right now about his access to the kids. Actor and friend of the couple, george clooney, reacting to the news of the breakup on cnn. Its unfortunate b story about a family. Im sorry to hear that. Jolie is not seeking any spousal support. Well have more on this today on access hollywood. Lisa bloom is our legal analyst and will look into this for us. A little squeezy to be honest because nobody knows what happened in that relationship except the couple and perhaps their kids. Isnt it true that a lot of what comes out in initial divorce filings is put there to leverage can be gained either to get a settlement or to gain some settlement in court . Absolutely. However, in jolies im not accusing her of anything. Right. Shes simply asking for sole physical custody of those children. Lets talk about that. Is that unusual . With the typical disposition be you share physical custody, you share legal custody . Do you have to allege something over and above the normal to say, hey, i am entitled to sole physical custody of my children smp. So this is what i tell all of my clients. This is how the case is going to turn out. Youre going to get 50 50 legal and physical custody, meaning youre both going to share all the important decision bes the kids, their religion, education, etcetera and youll get roughly 50 50 time with the kids unless there is abuse or neglect and thats not alleged here. So why then go this route . The short, cryptic statement we have from jolie is she feels this is in the best interest of the children. Do we know about prenup . We dont. It would shock me that a couple with this level of earnings does not have a prenup. Theyve been married just two years, legally married. They were together for about a decade. When you start looking into the division of assets and youre trying to do a divorce proceeding, do you look at that whole period of time, the ten years, or just the time of the legal marriage . So when it comes to the kids, the legal marriage is irrelevant. They are both the parents of those kids. They both have all the rights to visitation and custody. But when it comes to property, marriage is significant. And all the property gained during the marriage will be split roughly 50 50 unless there is that prenup. And youre concentrating on the right. We keep talking about the kids, the kids, the kids. There are six children here and i think for their sake we have to be very careful about what they say. And they both say they want whats best for those kids. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Lets get a check of the weather now from al. We are looking at some warm weather to talk about as we get into the latter part of the week. And widespread warmth with fall starting thursday at 10 21 a. M. Tomorrow. Look at these temperatures over the next several days. 90s in st. Louis. Upper 80s, knockville. D. C. , upper 80s. Jacksonville, upper 80s. As we get out west, here is where the chill comes in. Here is where we start to feel a little bit more falllike. Look at these temperatures. Seattle will be in the upper 50s on friday. Billings, upper 50s. Low 80s in denver. Albuquerque, temperatures in the upper 70s. Thats more like it and it starts to make its way east towards the good wednesday morning to you. Meteorologist anthony slaughter here. Weve got green on the radar this morning. If you get going outside, keep in mind you may run into some sprinkles, especially across parts of the peninsula, reports of sprinkles in berkeley and the trivalley. Fall right around the corner. Temperatures will cool off as we go through the day today. 40s and oohs across most of the bay right now. This afternoon, 60s and 70s replacing the 80s and 90s.

And when that was senator Elizabeth Warren during a hearing yesterday ripping into the c he o of Wells Fargo Bank over the banks admitted opening of unauthorized accounts. That was yesterday. Today, all eyes will be on another executive also in the hot seat. This time its the ceo of the company that makes the epipen. Tom costello has been covering this story. Hes on capitol hill this morning. Tom, good morning. Yeah, good morning. This is made all the more awkward because the ceos father is a United States senator from West Virginia. But heather brash is expected to Tell Congress today is the reason the epipen has become so expensive is because of the money they put into redesigning the epipen. No one is more frustrated than me. So far, only once has heather brush faced tough questions on camera over the dramatic price increases for an epipen pack, going from less than 100 to more than 600 over the last ten years just as her compensation took off. Youre making 118 million a year. You understand how that looks. Brian, look, i understand better than anyone that facts are inconvenient to headlines. And this morning, more bad headlines. Usa today reports heather brushs own mother helped lead the effort to get epipens in all schools. Cale manchon was reported to the West Virginia board of education by her husband, then governor, and now democratic senator. She tells nbc news, my only concern and motivation was and always will be how we can protect as many possible from an allergic reaction. This morning, mylan is calling the report factually inaccurate, saying the company is not the only provider of epinephrine injectors. But on capitol hill, bipartisan outrage is growing. Over the last few years, millions of dollars trying to get schools to stockpile this drug. We want them to earn a profit, but, really . 600 to the end consumer . But this morning, the company says those numbers dont tell the whole story. Mylans profit, it says, is only 100 per epipen two pack. In addition, the company says its worked hard to get the epipen in schools where theyre needed, but a lot of people think that that 100 per twopack is a bit excessive. Back to you. Tom costello on the hill for us. Thank you. Just ahead, what happened when Blake Shelton tried to play the gwen stefani part of the voits. And amy schumer has sparked a big discussion.

Simpson story inspired a new crop of programs, now the mystery surrounding Jonbenet Ramseys murder is getting a lot of attention on tv with two programs drawing two very different conclusions about what happened. This morning, the Ramsey Family attorney is fighting back, promising to file a lawsuit against one of those shows. As the 20year anniversary of Jonbenet Ramseys death draws closer, the unsolved case is generating a wave of renewed interest and controversy. On cbs a twonight series called the case of Jonbenet Ramsey brought together a team of investigators, including the chief investigator for the boulder District Attorney at the time of the murder. They spent months digging into the evidence and conclude with a theory point a finger at the girls 9yearold brother, burke. I think burke was upset with circumstances or christmas presents, he probably would have been upset about her trying to snag a piece of pineapple. After anger he may have struck her with na flashlight. I think we all agree on that. Yes. Yes. Reporter that theory is drawing the ire of burkes attorney who plans to sue for defamation, something he did successfully more than 15 years ago. In a statement he said no fairminded person can condone this false and heinous television attack by cbs on a young man for ratings and profits. In response, cbs says it stands by the broadcast and will do so in court. I did not kill my daughter, jonbenet. I did not have anything to do with it. Reporter the ramseys have always maintained their innocence and burke was exonerated by authorities in 1999. Still, with the anniversary looming, knowing so many tv programs would surface, burke wanted to get his story out. He broke his silence for the first time during an interview that aired on dr. Phil. There still are people that believe that you killed your sister. Yes. What do you say about that . Look at the evidence or the lack thereof. Reporter earlier this month in a documentary on a e called the killing of jonbenet, the truth uncovered, experts offered another theory that dna evidence points to an intruder, not someone from the Ramsey Family. I think the unescapable conclusion is that an unidentified male committed this crime. As soon as theres a hit, he will be nailed and that will solve the crime. Reporter bottom line, nearly 20 years later, no solid answers and still a number of conflicting theories. The Boulder Police Department Says the case remains open and a couple detectives do still receive information on a regular basis. Back to you guys. Joe fryer, thank you. Lets take a turn now. Al is here with a check of the weather. Lets see whats happening. Weve got the ghost of julia still hanging off the east coast, remnants of payne pushing moisture into the southwest and some strong storms firing up near minneapolis and just to the west of chicago. Could be some airport delays later this morning. Afternoon highs 90s into the midsection of the country from the gulf coast. Humidity levels high here in the northeast so it will feel even warmer than the 80s that are predicted. Those strong storms, possible flooding from minneapolis, minnesota, all the way into central wisconsin. Some showers along the Central Florida coast. Look for that rain lingering in the southeast and some gusty showers through the southwest. Thats whats hey, good wednesday morning to you. Meteorologist anthony slaughter here. Weve got some green on the radar. That means nice sprinkles out there, especially across parts of the east bay and peninsula and including parts of the south bay foothills. Keep in mind as you get going this morning, you may see some sprinkles there. Temperatures back into the 50s and 60s for the most part weve got clouds hanging out. Those clouds will clear out by the afternoon. Hang onto the cool weather, 65 in San Francisco, 77 peninsula, inland valleys will manage low 80s from north bay to south bay. Thats your latest west. Thanks, al. So much. Lets find whats trending today. Let us start with the awkward moment in the wake of the brangelina news. How sad will you be not to say brangelina anymore . You know what, getting that out of the vocabulary is hard. George clooney just happened to be at the u. N. When the story broke so it fell to cnns richard ross to ask him about it. Its a big story. Youre friends with both of them. Your thoughts, any thoughts, shes a humanitarian, angelina, and your friend brad. What happened . Theyre divorcing. I didnt know that. I feel very sorry. Thats a sad story and unfortunate for a family, an unfortunate story about a family. Im really sorry to hear that. First ive heard of it. Our hearts go out to richard ross here. First of all, he had to ask clooney about it. Clooney clearly hadnt heard the news. Also he is a seasoned correspondent, covers the wars in iraq and afghanistan, the berlin wall and then he finds himself having to ask in an unenviable position. And he did it well. Who it was more awkward for actually. Hearts go out to both. Was it wednesday . All right. So youve always asked what is the happiest song in the world. Youve always asked that. Ive wondered. Now we have an answer to that question and it comes from science. Researchers at the university of missouri studied 126 songs from the last 50 years and came up with a specific formula. Yes, carson, an algorithm that took into things like beats per minute, lyrics. Whats the happiest song in the world . happy by pharrell. I am so sorry, no, its not. Any other guesses before we get to the answer . It was dont stop me now by queen. What . I dont even know that song. What . What do you mean what . That is the happiest song in the world. Youve got to be kidding. Why is the happiest song in the world making al so happy . Whats your happiest song in the world . Wake me up before you go go. My changes every week but the song me too, whats your happy song . I go with rubber band man by the spinners. I love that, it makes me smile. Whats yours, savannah . Well, i like that coldplay song adventure of a lifetime. Carson . Beautiful day by u2 always makes me feel good, happy. 126 songs in 50 years . Its a new algorithm, okay . What an odd number. The algorithm is very picky. They say theres nothing sweeter than a mothers love. That was on display yesterday during a baseball game. Here is the orioles first baseman making his Major League Debut and, yes, his first hit is a home run. Look at mom. Look at mom. She had the best reaction. The shock, the disbelief written all over her face. By the way, shes a lifelong orioles fan so of course that makes it even better, and she got to keep the ball. So cute. She was a little too surprised like she didnt believe her son could hit it out. Always looking for the dark side. Were going to start with the first lady, michelle obama. Stephen colberts guest last night and shared her impression of her husband. Have a look. Malia will start it because she usually asks the serious question. Dad, tell us about your day. And what about that conversation on global warming. And barack sasha and i are like oh, god, no, dont get him started. And he said well, im glad you asked that. Let me just let me just answer that in three points. One, and then 1a and then 1a and b and sasha and i are like, oh mrs. Obama also joking that her husband loves to hear gossip at the dinner table because, quote, he has no life, end quote. Her words, not mine. All right. And to one hotel guest, rather unusual celebrity request. He reserved a room in california and his girlfriend loves Jeff Goldbloom so he asked that the room stash photos of jeff all over the room. He was kidding. But when the couple got to their room, look at what they found. Photos of Jeff Goldbloom were everywhere, in the bathroom, by the bed, next to the phone, all over the room. The man and his girlfriend were indeed shocked but thankful for the incredible customer service. Why didnt i think of that . There we go. Finally to the voice. Weve got some pretty good talent this year but the coaches will obviously stop at nothing to woo some of the artist to their team. Miley cyrus using her godmother, dolly parton. Last night Blake Shelton an artist who likes reggae music was leaning towards adam but blake brought up somebody close to his heart. Maybe wondering how i can help you im wondering how you help him. I do have some serious connections in that reggae ska world these days. Really . Really . Youre going to do that . Yes, really. I think im going to have to pick blake over you. Yes im not afraid to say that i blade the gwen stefani card. I mean, hey, if youve got it, youve got to use it. Thats right. And it worked. Best season yet. This one of the voice is really awesome. Good job, carson. Thank you. Now to our ongoing series called cutting the fat today. Weve tackled restrictive diets and high intensity workouts. This morning a look at fitness trackers. A lot of people wonder how accurate are they. Our National Correspondent decided to try them out. Jeff, good morning. Hey, guys, good morning to you. So many of us trying to hit that magic number of 10,000 steps every day. Whether its your smartphone counting your steps or a fitness tracker you wear on your wrist like this one, we expect them to get it right, down to the step, down to the calorie, but are they really . This morning im putting the most popular fitness trackers to the test. Wait until you see the results. Im going to get all my steps in today. Who says you cant exercise at work . Working up quite a little sweat here. Im hitting the streets. Stepping, stepping, stepping, and the hallways. Fitness trackers on my phone and my wrist counting every step. But are they really accurate . First, were going to test out the free fitness apps for your phones. Were trying out apple health for iphones and google fit for android devices. Im going to put both in my hand and go about my day. Theoretically both devices should count the same number of steps. Walking all over 30 rock. This is where i do all the editing. Strolling to different floors. Taking the apps everywhere. The cameraman is running now so i guess were running. Lets actually walk. We are at work here, we look a little weird. And the results are in. The iphone says i walked 3,140 steps. The google fit for android says i walked 3,036 steps. Both apple and google telling nbc news they have no comment. Remember, these are free apps on your phone. What if your actually spending money on those special fitness trackers. Are those devices accurate . To find out, im wearing three fitness trackers on the same wrist. Right here i have the jawbone 3, the garmin vivo smart hr and this is the Fitbit Charge hr. Lets see what happens and get to stepping. Now im Walking Around new york city for more than an hour. Oh, baby. Ending up in central park. Everybody is talking about them, everybodys wants one. Were going to see which one is the most accurate. Fabulous. The fitbit says i walked 5,188 steps. Check the garmin. It says i walked 5,984 steps. So a lot more. But the jawbone says i walked the most. A whopping 6,271 steps. So what are you supposed to believe . Hop up onto the treadmill. To find out, i came here to the Performance Lab at new Yorks Hospital for special surgery. That mask measures my calorie burn. My producers count 500 steps. 498, 500, jump off. Well, thats comfortable. I hop off to crunch the numbers on steps. The fitbit was the closest with 502. The garmin 520. And the jawbone, 559 steps. But the real headline here is the calories, right . We all want to know how many calories we burn. What is your the official number from your computer . 19. 9 calories. Northboune of them were clos. The jawbone said i burned 43 calories. Fitbit 67 cal reese, more than triple your number. The garmin was the highest, saying i burned 78 calories, nearly quadruple what i burned. The trackers are designed to motivate and encourage healthy lifestyles. Garmin adding the position on the wrist matters if multiple devices were worn at the same time and whether its on your dominant hand. Go for a walk, go for a jog but dont expect absolute precision from your fitness tracker. Back to you devise. Who wears a fitness tracker here . It comes with the ipod. On your wrist . Huhuh. You get the prize for the most steps. Debra got me a Treadmill Desk so when im at my desk, im walking. So how many a day. Between 15,000 and 20,000. Thats just crazy. Im trying to walk 10,000 steps a day and its hard. I ask al and hes got 20,000. Im in competition with my son, nick. Hes got an apple watch too. I thought it was cool for a time. I would walk around my apartment to try to get 20 more steps to make it an even number. I like the fact that debra has the Remote Control of your treadmill. Deb, deb,s. Im.

Keep in mind as you get going this morning, you may see sprinkles there. Temperatures back into the 50s and 60s for the most part. Still got clouds hanging out. They will clear out by the afternoon.

S siriusxm host. Lets go back inside. Now, to the brain power today. How your brain could be making it harder for you to lose weight. Maria is back. It comes to being overweight, many people feel guilt, feeling their eating habits is a personal flaw. The brain could explain why some people cant better control their eating. For myrtle. Food is her best friend and her enemy. Weighing 240 pounds. Did i eat that whole box of cookies. Now, the peoples love of food may not be a lack of wilpower, but because their brains are wired differently. This study took four years, what is the word you would describe when you saw the results . Shocking. In the study comparing the these are the areas of the brain that receive that information about what is pleasurable. She found that once the lean women were full, the brain showed no interest in food. Brains of the obese women lit up. If like they havent eaten at all. Their she followed her obese subjects through weight loss surgery. She found their brain responses to food changed, looking more like the lean women. A year after surgery, the brain were turned to craving food even after it was false. They were shifting back. To their obese brain. It started to become their enemy again. Explaining why it is so hard for people to keep weight off long term. Myrtle lost 50 pounds, and said herself yearning for sweets stopped. A year later, they came back. I noticed that i still have that for certain foods. What is the message for people struggling with weight. Now you have an excuse. It is okay . I think it is know that it is difficult. Dont expect it to be anything but difficult. You can still lose weight, it will take a tremendous effort. Myrtle said that knowing her brain is wired this way empowers her to take control. Exercising more, and weighing herself daily. To combat her minds natural impulses. I must acknowledge that those brain patterns are there. With that knowledge, work through it. Researchers still dont know why the brains of some obese people are wired differently. Is it genetic or does becoming overweight cause your brain to change . Doctors hope to develop medicines to treat obesity as a disorder of the brain, much like they do depression. That is what the doctor was saying is the future. There are some who write it off and look at someone overweight and say, it is a will power issue. This looks at biology. The doctor was saying, when people would come in, they would say, my brain is different. Which is why they did the study. It turns out, they are right. She is hoping that people will be more compassion ate. Fascinating, you think of those on the yoyo diet. It makes sense. She is saying, dont use it as an excuse. For all of us to have more compassion. That is amazing. Brain power. Show the picture of you. No, no. Come on. 35 years ago. It is like ten years ago. We look exactly the same.

And you know, in this television landscape, it is hard, there is so much out there. My list is backed up. I know. We are having such a great time. What excited me about this show was, it is a humorous perspective of everyday working class people. And our cast, as you can see is so diverse, that allows us to talk about anything. We are not picking sides or staying with right and wrong. We discuss everything from plan b, to open carry gun laws, to planned parenthood, we do it in a funny way.

This morning on todays take, what both sides are saying about the shocking split. And America Ferrara takes us inside superstore. Al and i go to the ballpark. All that and more, coming up now. Announcer from nbc news, this is todays takes with al roker, tamron hall and billy bush live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on this wednesday morning, september 21st. Billy, al, tamron. Weve got two others very special people. My parents are here today. Love is in the air. For those of you who are possibly devastated over the brangelina breakup, there they are. 48 years and going strong. Love does live. Exactly. For the people out there like myself when we got the brangelina news. My mom is going it does . Your dad is quite the dapper dresser. Like the bow tie . And the suspenders. And he has a great profile shot there. So yesterday when this news hit, tamron is in the middle of msnbc. Shes sending me texts on commercial breaks. I cant believe whats happened. Al was inconsolable. I believe he wouldnt come out of his room. You know, i just feel badly. You feel badly . Heres the deal. And i understand the interest in this. But if you have been unfortunate enough to go through a divorce and one with children involved, and i have done that, you know, you just worry about the children, you worry about and to do it in the public eye is. F di ive never been married but im the product of a divorce. My parents remarried other people. My mother went on 27 beautiful years with my dad, clarence newton. So i think we recognize these are human beings. The flip side, theyre hollywood stars. And their marriage has been a point of fascination since the day they got together, allegedly on a movie set when he was still with jennifer aniston. So they get it. Thats why they talk to the media about it. They sold their pictures of their children for a great cause, the wedding dress. They have allowed us in to some degree. Its interesting that they say she filed and says irreconcilable differences and her Attorney Says shes doing this for the health of the family. Then her manager says she will always do whats in the best interests to protect her children. These are code words to me that seem to suggest that theyre not safe with him or to be legal language to get we dont that part we dont know. Im saddened by this and then other things. Theres reports about too much drinking and this and that. Those are tabloid rumors at this point. Nobody really knows whats going on. That doesnt stop us from talking about it. Well, listen or the world. I think heres the deal. I think all of those things you set aside. You dont know. The allegations are when the news broke that they were apart or are divorcing, i was in a newsroom filled with mostly women and they all went no they had a reaction. So we can talk about whatever high brow, the bottom line is people reacted to it. Im not being high brow, i just i think men and women might be in different camps here. Im wondering if guys are like, holy mackerel, you wouldnt believe what was going on last night. My wife, i told her and she said what . It never works out, and she hung up the phone on these people. Hello . Are you still there . I think women fell in a couple of categories. There were some women like myself like what about love, can love ever survive . Others took team jen. Some of my friends instantly went jen aniston got her revenge, others were like team angie. It fell into this category both at work and in my personal relationships. Are women more oi think women, it seems to me from what ive heard and the conversations ive had are not as proangie as i thought they might be. I think because how it started. The rumors of how they started. You know, no one wants to be cheated on. Certainly you dont want to be left standing there if your significant other or spouse allegedly cheats. I just felt like can love just survive. I just but if its unhealthy, if its unhealthy, youve got to get out. How about clooney now. We all assume unless its a match made in hollywood that clooney and brad pitt are the tightest of buddies. Clooney is at the u. N. Yesterday, hes there for a roundtable with president obama on the refugee crisis and he gets hit with the news, complete low blindsided. Youre friends with both of them. Any thoughts . Whats that . The whirlwind on angelina and your friend brad. Oh, what happened . Theyre divorcing. I didnt know that. She filed. I feel very sorry. Thats a sad story and unfortunate for a family, an unfortunate story about a family. Im very sorry to hear that. The first ive heard it. Hes like i think also his orientation. Youre at the u. N. And youre like, wait a minute, what . The orientation of it, you cant get your grounding. He left hollywood to go to the u. N. But hollywood did not leave him. It went with him. But i mean, geez, you thought they were great friends, he would know. He probably got on the phone and called. A lot of people took it lightly. Mashable compiled a bunch of tweets on the theme love is dead. Check out this twitter poll, love is dead. These are the options, love is dead, love is dead. Jennifer aniston, word is brangelina is done. Jennifer right now, hollywood. Thats terrible. That is awful. She no matter what can never escape this triangle. And this is the other one. Jennif jennifer an aniston is like brangelina. And that is what we call closure. I saw them out at a restaurant and they are a stunning couple. There was this energy and i watched how he was escorting her through the door and just those gentlemanly touches. Its real life for them but that does not stop people from talking about it. Where does it go from here . This could be the ugliest thing in the world. Or they could work it out, you know. Its sad for the children. How long has this been going . It seems to me no one has heard about any heard anything about it. The last picture one of the magazines had ten weeks ago they were out with one of their children. Whats also fascinating is they have a blended family and i believe brad pitt actually adopted the children she had prior to their marriage, which was maddox, pax and zahara. Does that change the legality of it when you have kids that you adopted before and then you have your own children that you had once you were married. I dont know how all of that works and does that impact their situation. They have only been married also for two years. They were together ten. I always wondered did marriage freak them out because they had been together for ten years. And then they got married per their childrens request. She said in an interview on today actually. So did that have a psychological effect. Shes an interesting character. I remember i interviewed her before she met brad, this is after billy bob. And i said you have maddox now. What do you do about introducing maddox if you start dating somebody, do you bring that person into the house and let maddox have an opportunity to get attached . She said, no, im not bringing anyone home, ill just take a lover. Im like what . I said what do you mean . I have friends and well just meet at a hotel for a few hours and then ill go back. I was like, wow, she just shared that right out in the open. But shes been very from when she became famous and remember the lip lock with the brother, the vials of blood with billy bob thornton, she is not a demure creature and doesnt seem to hide who she is. No secret to mr. And mrs. Smith. Thats a great movie. Up next, amy schumer spars with magazines once again over their covers. This is very interesting. The Instagram Photo that is blowing up the internet. And its the nbc comedy thats been called funny and razor sharp, just like its star, America Ferrara. Well talk to america about superstore and her night the things that i consume on a daily basis, a lot of it is very acidic. The enamel on my teeth was actually weakening. The whiteness wasnt there as much. My teeth didnt look as healthy as others. My dentist said that pronamel would help fight against that erosion that foods and drinks were causing. So it was really important to start using the pronamel. Itll be one less thing you have to worry about. Pronamel is now giving me the confidence to know that im doing the right thing. So its nice to know that its as simple as that. All natural ground beef. Rying yeah, thats right. Theres only one way to know how good it tastes. Try it at walmarts low prices. We invited women to a spa to dish soap. Body wash. You may not feel it, but some body washes can contain cleansers found in dish soap. Dove body wash is different. It has only the gentlest cleansers. It just made me feel good. This is dove. Maybe. The skate park today . You can make it grrreat kelloggs frosted flakes gives you the sweet spark to go all in and let your great out.

You dont just graduate from medical school, or something. And we dont just pull smoked chicken, bake fresh foccacia and handslice avocado. Theres nothing or something about it. What are you doing up . Mom said i could have a midnight snack. Its not even midnight, its ten fortythree. Well, lets have a ten fortythree snack. Quietly, though. Okay. Yeah. Mmmm. Shhhh. The family favorite. Yoplait. What do you call yogurt that comes in amazing flavors and packs 6 grams of protein per serving . Yoplait original. For four years. You named it brad. You loved brad. And then you totaled him. You two had been through everything together. Two boyfriends, three jobs. Youre like nothing can replace brad. Then Liberty Mutual calls. And you break into your happy dance. If you sign up for better car replacement™, well pay for a car thats a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. Liberty stands with you™. Liberty mutual insurance. Were back now with more of todays take. Remember a few days ago we talked about the new, most interesting man in the world and the other person, when he retired he went off to mars. They shot him off in a rocket. We thought what happened to him. Is she stihe still around, is h alive . Jonathan goldsmith was the original actor. Well, i happened to get a gift from the most interesting man in the world. From space . Yes, from space. Well, hes obviously in the viewing area. He sent it on this lovely stationery. It looked like it burned in space. Its old school. He said i hope your colleagues see me as more than just man candy and perhaps ms. Hall will reconsider only enjoying my company for a day. Hes in space. So he says i heard you spoke of me on your Morning Television program. First off, i appreciate your admiration and i thank you. However, i must address your preposterous hypothesis suggesting that im dead. Im afraid youre wrong, im very much alive and hes enclosed a case of dos equis but also sent me this lovely calendar compass during a visit during a monsoon. How is he watching us from space . Hes watching us from space right now and he would like a date with you. This is the old one . Can i see the picture . You asked me one year, one night, one week. There he is getting ready. Oh, hes super handsome. How would he pick me up . What do you pick up a girl in if youre in space . Well, hes back now. Okay. He ran out of fuel at some point. We should all go. You guys can be the chaperones. When we find him, were all going to go out on a date. Listen, amy schumer, she posted this instagram comparing girls life magazine and boys life magazine. When amy posts it, it takes on new life. Simple caption, no. If you arent read it on the girls side it says fall fashions youll love, your dream hair. On the boys life, explore your future and you see aeronautics and a Police Officer, science, the whole possibilities that you have. I did not realize, al, you mentioned, that these magazines have been around. Decades. For decades. I was a teen geek. I never saw them. Look, the publisher of the magazine says they do feature stuff like that, empowering topics, but as we had in the orange room earlier, one of the tweets said, you know, if it didnt sell, people wouldnt buy it. I tend to say that as well. Listen, i grew up with barbie as well and i remember the huge backlash on barbie but yet i worked at toys r us so i knew this for a fact. The barbie aisle was the busiest aisle on christmas and you didnt see people returning barbies because their kids didnt want them. Make chicken egg, i dont know. And there are niche magazines for everybody. Take a look. Our arriving time in chicago will be 10 45 p. M. Central time. Its 72 degrees with a 20 chance of precipitation. Everything i learned in life i learned from the movie airplane. Oh, man. Its funny, i tell you what. This magazine, ive never seen it in my life. Well, you have daughters. Whats your take . Both of you have daughters. I think about that video, the little girl in front of the mirror. Im cute, im cute. But the mom says and youre smart. My girls are interested in fashion and beauty but lets also not forget about i have a neuroscientist as an 11yearold. Shes very interested in science and space. You can do both. And dont you think most parents of sons and daughters have taught their kids, ive never met a mom who said i just talked to her about being cute. Come on, every decent mom, which i think are most, would say you can do anything you want to do, you can be anything you want to do. Inventor mark murray even patented the bun in 2009. This is a ham dog. Do we have them . Its from australia. Stark tank australia. If you cant choose between a hamburger or a hot dog, use a ham dog. It goes on top of a bun that is shaped like a hot dog and hamburger. The dog is wrapped around the meat . Yes. Yes. Its a meatapaluzza. The other thing that would make this better is a nice slice of fried spam on top. Deliciousness. Lets check your weather and see whats happening. Weve got a lot of wet weather in the upper midwest.

The amazing America Ferrara is back on nbc with a Second Season of her hit nbc show superstore. And a very busy weekend, not only presenting at the emmys but participating in her firstever triathlon. Way to go this is a fullblown triathlon. Full blown. What was that like . It was amazing. It was really quite lifechanging. I had never done anything like this before. A friend of mine lost her mom to lymphoma and did one to raise money. I was so inspired by her journey, watching it on social media and talking about it so my husband and i signed up to do one. We raised money for the leukemia and lymphoma society. Im as proud of that and the work ive put in as about as long as ive ever done. How long did you train . Five months. I cant imagine that. I was not a swimmer at all. What was the easiest, the running probably in the middle and then swimming brutal . Swimming, because its open water. In the ocean. The only thing im thinking is there are no sharks, there are no sharks. And really like i just need to make it to the end. It felt long and hard. As soon as the swimming was done it was like, okay, i survived that. Im going to be okay. And then sunday youre on the red carpet. I mean you looked amazing. You must have felt terrific. I felt incredible. I mean after doing Something Like that, i felt strong. You look strong. Look at that dress. Did you wear heels . I did wear heels.

A former San Francisco Camp Counselor accused of molesting three young girls during field z trips. Adam blancher, hes also accused of sendingb3cskzt7n3 exclusive the girls and tried to get them to the do the same. Blancher is waiting extradition back to california. A lot of people in vallejo this morning are still sick last night of an unusual gas odor. Some people sought medical treatments for respiratory problems and itchy eyes and nausea. The odor dissipated but the question have not. Authorities ruled out the possibility of a release from near by refineries but there are still thoughts that the odor may have come from some sort of oil machines on the bay. We are checking with coast guard crews which told us so far they found nothing. Well have a look at weather and traffic coming up after the break. Ck traffic maps good wednesday morning to you, we are looking at clouds this morning and well clear out this around. We do some drizzles and near the try vall covent trivalleys. After being at 90s a couple of days ago in oakland. 65 for San Francisco and 70 for san jose. Temperatures cooling even more for tomorrow, the first day of fall. Well see the return of 70s by sunday. Lets toss things over to mike right now tracking our morning commute. Now, things are starting to ease up. South bay, southbound 680 met with a crash over there. That kept some slowing there. Visible from the road way of the crash. A stall at south 880. That bridge is a little lighter. There the dunbar bridge and the palo alto is still jammed out of redwood city. Back to you. Thats a lot of reds. More local news in about half an hour. We are back with America Ferrara and her hit show of course is superstore. It returns for a new season tomorrow night. How fun is it to work on we have an ensemble show here. You had an ensemble cast. How does that feel . Its the best, its amazing. Everyone on the show is so different, so unique. Comes from such a different background. A lot of comedy people on the show. Mark, colton dunn, who comes from the comedy world, lauren ash, mico santos, hes a standup comedian. So on top of fabulous writers, everyone is a comedian improving and im a little outside of my comfort zone because im an actor but getting to play with them feels like just playing in the big leagues. Theyre amazing. We actually have a clip. This is the fake ad with cloud nine store. Check it out. Its back to school, mom brand kicks. When school starts, your friends will say cool, your sneakers arent any brand. Which means no one will steal them. Same goes with our backpacks with a nonspecific beaver cartoon everyone will love. And these cell phones look totally generic. Try making fun of that. As this guy always says, who cares what he says, hes not a real character. So go back to school in cloud nine nonbrands. I love that take. That one didnt take that long. We did a full day of shooting those fake commercials, which we had fun with. I get all these tweets like america is doing walmart commercials. No, pay attention, its a tv show. How soon before we start to see cloud nine stuff . I know, right, that would be great. That would be so terrific. Its called a vertical. But the key to the humor in superstore is a lot of sitcoms you see, you know, its aspirational, you see this Beautiful Community and they live in this wonderful house. These are folks that are a little lower down on the socioeconomic ladder dealing with real issues and you guys take on all kinds of stuff. Pay inequality and you do it in a funny way. This is smart. Its very smart. And we ended season one with sort of a surprise walkout. My character has been on the job for ten years. Shes not looking for things to change, but things happen and she just gets so fed up. And surprises herself by leading the employees in a walkout. Thats where we ended season one. Season two begins with us on strike. And so for a lot of people its almost like a documentary, surprisingly. Because youve been very vocal. Youve got your tshirt on which im coveting. Tell me where you got that shirt. And she wants to know where you got the dress. Ill trade you. You want people coming up to you and saying this is my life. Totally. You guys represent us. Totally. Thats what excited me about the show. I remember growing up watching comedies about everyday people. You know, roseannes and cheers and where everyday persons life had humor and was valued. And i think, look, im first in line for a big blockbuster aspirational show or film, but theres room in television for the point of view of everyday working class people to be smart, to be funny, and to be dimensionalized. We have working class and poor people and giving them a voice on television represents a lot of people who feel voiceless and we do it in a fun way. Thats what i love about the show. So we pick up with a protest, a rally, a taking on of corporate by you an jonah, your character. Thats right. How does that go . Well, youll have to watch. America, thank you so much. America ferrara and you can catch the season premiere tomorrow night, 8 00 7 00 central on nbc. Up next, al and i take a little trip to the bronx for a snack showdown, vendor wars at yankees stadium. A little friendsy competition. Who do you think won this . Its a tie. Its a tie. Each year 17 billion toilet paper tubes are used in the us alone. Thats enough to fill the empire state building. Twice. Now theres scott tubefree bath tissue. Get the premium softness you need. Without the wasteful tube. Toss the tube for good with scott tubefree. Folks out there whose diabetic nerve pain. Shoots and burns its way into your day, i hear you. To everyone with this pain that makes ordinary tasks extraordinarily painful, i hear you. Make sure your doctor hears you too i hear you because i was there when my dad suffered with diabetic nerve pain. If you have diabetes and burning, shooting pain in your feet or hands, dont suffer in silence step on up and ask your doctor about diabetic nerve pain. Tell em cedric sent you. A box is where you keep things safe. Who wants that . Im moving forward. New oikos greek nonfat yogurt helps keep me going. Now with allnatural ingredients with vitamin d and 12 grams of protein.

If you dont already know. Try it. At walmarts low prices. Is depression more than sadness . Its a tangle of multiple symptoms. Trintellix vortioxetine is a prescription medicine for depression. Trintellix may start to untangle or help improve the multiple symptoms of depression. For me, trintellix made a difference. Tell your healthcare professional right away if your depression worsens, or you have unusual changes in mood, behavior or thoughts of suicide.
