And about 620,000 others have lost their homes. And general overseeing the u. S. Response efforts described seeing bodies as he flew over this region. Every building is either significantly damaged or destroyed. The streets are all closed. You can see with 15 to 25 foot wave came across entire villages. Everything is wiped out. As the the Philippine Government and forces ask us for support, ive got airplanes and helicopters and airplanes that can look for people in areas that are stranded. And much of the countrys infrastructure was destroyed by huge waves and winds up to 235 miles per hour. Officials are largely now relying on helicopters to rescue those still stranded. Nbcs ian williams is on the ground in manila and joins us by phone. Lets talk about the effort. I heard other reports as we reported now, theres some areas that they simply have not been able to reach and here were looking at days now. Thats right, tamron. I mean three days after this typhoon struck, rescue workers still not got to some of the more remote areas that were hardest hit by this devastating storm. The problem is communications are still down, power is out and roads are blocked. Bridges are destroyed. Theres debris still littering the countryside. This is causing a major problem, just assessing the scale of the damage, we see some of the pictures from the air which look horrific. In terms of looking at whats happened on the ground, the needs of people, its been impossible to make that assessment. In towns like tacloban, there is widespread devastation, particularly along the coastal areas. Thats where the u. S. Aid has been concentrated. Flying into the airport there which has been reopened to aid flights in the u. S. And philippine military, concentrating on the things that they need most urgently, water, water pure fiction tablets and shelter. And also, gearing a lot of that towards children who are particularly hard hit by this. But the aid effort is only just clicking in. There have been offers of help from throughout the world from the u. S. Of course as well as european, asian countries. But the task they face there is really enormous, tamron. Ian, of course this is based on the ferocity of the storm but also as has been reported, some of the worst roads and infrastructure in southeast asia, adding to the difficulties here. Yeah, logistics in this part of the philippines were never easy at the best of times. Scattered around, getting around is not easy. And the infrastructure was never great, even before this storm hit. So that has added to the challenges that they face. And a lot of the damage, some say most of the damage was caused by the storm surge, by the powerful waters, 20foot waves swept in, were except in by the storm. We got bridges down. Weve got debris blocking roads. Its the airports are closed. Its very, very difficult in an area which getting around was never good at the best of times, now very, very difficult tamron. And the storm has been do downgraded but were seeing flooding in vietnam and south china, is that correct. Its been downgraded but still damaging. Weve seen 13 or 14 deaths in vietnam. Thousands of people injured. Its weakened considerably from the monster is that swept across the philippines but still Strong Enough and still continues to pack enough punch to cause a lot of severe and also, to china as it continued inland. Ian, thank you very much for those new details. Ahead of the storm, many meteorologists were predicting widespread destruction due to the massive size. This is an image from space capturing full scope of just how wide the typhoon was. Joining me now, Weather Channel hurricane specialist brian norcross, we use the terminology monster storm so often. But when you see the visual from space, it really takes on new meaning when you see the size of this storm. It was an incredible storm. It was mother natures most amazing storm that we just dont see very often. Its not unheard of. Weve seen them in the past. We saw one in 1969 in mississippi, camille. We saw hurricane andrew in 1992. We see typhoons like this in the western pacific, but not very often and the formula here for this total destruction was where it hit. In the philippines, you have luzon at the north, where manila is. Typhoons normally hit up there so people moved to the west coast. Theres very few people on east coast of the philippines in the north. They dont often hit in middle islands. They have not moved out of harms way so to speak and that was the formula that made this so much worse. Its an incredible storm in a place where they dont normally get them. Some people didnt take the necessary means to or were unable to. Exactly. Brian, at least one article says what appears to set this storm apart, the ferocity of its winds. Talk about the components of what was happening that made all of these pieces come together no this deadly storm that were seeing the ramifications of right now . Well, here in the southwestern pacific, the water is warm. It just takes randomness to make the atmosphere be so perfect to make a perfectly round storm. It was really just things coming together. But you combine that with the fact you have a coastline here and this storm is driving water at the coastline. Every place theres a little bay thats facing into the direction of the storm, it gets piled in the bay, like a funnel. Water get amplified and thats where you get the 20, 25 feet even more of storm surge. They found bodies in trees that had been swept by that water. So it was the combination of the shape of the coast and the strength of the storm. Brian, i dont want to get into a huge conversation of Climate Change or debate here. But you have this philippine delegate at the u. N. Who now has started a fast because he feels that climate talks have lacked action as it relates to us discussing Global Warming and blaming this super typhoon that killed the 10,000 people and counting so far on the inability to move forward with conversations as it relates to these meg astorms. We saw some of this after sandy. The necessary conversation thats needed on Climate Change. Well, theres two parts of Climate Change. One is that as the arctic gets warmer theres more water coming off the glasers and sea level rises. The other is the changing in atmospheric patterns in general with a warmer atmosphere. We know the storm track was unusually far south. They are usually up here going into luzon. Last year there was down in the extreme southern part of the country. Is this change related to an overall change in the climate . Honestly not sure but the bottom line is Climate Change is real and were not paying attention to that. In that sense he was right. Theyve had 24 typhoons this season and obviously nothing like what were witnessing now. Were continuing to keep the audience up to date. Thank you so much. There are Many Organizations deploying urgent relief efforts to the philippines. Weve posted the ways you can help on our website. You can go to our news nation. Msnbc. Com page.

Laying a wreath at Arlington National cemetery, the president honoring those who served and sacrificed their lives for our country. First Lady Michelle obama and Vice President joe biden also attending this emotional ceremony. The president promising that the sacrifice of those veterans will never be forgotten. Theres a risk that the devoted service of our veterans could fade from the forefront of our minds. That we might turn to other things. Part of the reason were here today is to pledge that we will never forget the profound sacrifices made in our name. The president also paid tribute to the nations oldest living veteran. Hes 107 years old. His name, richard oberton. As president obama noted there are thousands of heroes who never made it back from war and their stories often go untold. The world war ii massacre of an all black unit at the hands of nazi soldiers is one of those stories. It took place in a small belgium town near the german border during the battle of the bulge in 1944. Towards the end of the war this took place. 11 men were brutally tortured and murdered after attempting to surrender to german soldiers. For years no one knew the whole story of what happened to those americans, not even their families, who had been told they died in battle. One belgium man who witnessed the events as a young boy, 12 years old at the time, made it his lifes mission to let the truth be known and have their stories told. Joining me now, regina benjamin. Her uncle buddy was eventually liberated by allied forces and military reporter jim michaels who tells the story in a new article in usa today. Its an incredible article and i wish i could copy it and pass it out and tell people to go online and read it as well. You talk about 70 years later on another veterans day, the mystery of what happened to the 11 men has started to unravel, revealing a remarkable tale. Lets start at the beginning of what happened to them, at least what youve been able to unco r uncover. It was this belgium man, hermann linger, now deceased, who witnessed this at age 12. He went on with his life and putting together his life and so forth. It was really later when he started to get older and retired that he decided to put a cross at the site of where these men were killed in 1944. So in 1994 he put a cross there. And it was really that incident there that started this snowballing of information coming out and then the u. S. Military was getting involved and allies were getting involved. Now theres a very elaborate memorial there to these men. Of course, since then the story has filtered back to the united states. Even though the wives and parents of these 11 men really never knew what happened, their children and nephews and nieces why was that the case . Why did the story end up as its described as a mystery, why werent they told what happened . There were witnesses. There were witnesses and in the army even started a war crimes report. They could never identify the specific unit that did this and they just marked it secret and stuck it aside. Its a big history why they didnt do it. There was another massacre of more than 80 allies on the same day. That took world headlines. Its still a mystery, was it not investigated enough because these were africanamerican soldiers . Was it a smaller number of soldiers . We dont know. Its interesting, jim, in your piece, there was a documentary by joe small, financed a documentary to an amateur historian to tell the story. Youre reported in this piece as saying these men, 11 guys deserve to be remembered. How did you first learn about the story . Well, my uncle was a member of the 333rd battalion and part of that infantry. When i was in Elementary School i did a story on this world war ii and the story of anne frank. He started telling me about this and my mother, his twin sister, veterans would never talk about what happened in the war. He was telling me this. And later as years went by, one of my colleagues, another physician in alabama, dr. Lick ten field, started introducing me to herman and it just unfolded tremendously. I had the opportunity to meet Herman Langer and go there. I spoke at the ceremony and got to sit at the same table that the soldiers ate. I saw the ditch where their bodies were. It was very touching. One of the most emotional things and to be there in my uniform as a three star admiral was really significant as an africanamerican woman. Absolutely. He passed away, but as i understand it, he was surprised by the how the story attracted worldwide attention. Even with his dedication and what he saw as a 12yearold boy and telling the story, jim. You know, his family told me that he really put that cross there initially just to sort of quiet his own con shens and what he had seen. It really never went away. He was a 12yearold boy, very impressionable, hermans father, Mathias Langer was a pro allies guy. This community was divided between german and allied sympathies, but this Langer Family was very much pro allies and watched his father bring these soldiers in and give them food and hot coffee without a second thought. This stayed with him his entire life. And of course for your uncle buddy and to know this story is being told and your desire to have more people here, how does it feel today knowing it has gotten a little bit more exposure . Its wonderful. Even he told me about the fact when the tanks came and rumbled to earth, they spread out and ran. He didnt know what happened to those 11. I was in part of the ama and go to chicago, look up my friend who lives in chicago. I never could find him. It wasnt until we were in germany actually in belgium last year when i met the son of his friend. And my uncle never knew up until this time that his friends were killed. Amazing. Thank you and your family for this service and jim, thank you for this incredible report. Greatly appreciate it. Still ahead on news nation this isnt an issue about bullying. This is an issue of my and johns relationship where i have taken stuff too far. You can call it certainly a strange relationship. Richie incognito says its not bullying but will Jonathan Martin agree . Hes expected to release a statement soon. Well have the very latest ahead.

Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. Dont start taking xeljanz if you have any kind of infection, unless ok with your doctor. Tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. Your doctor should perform blood tests, including certain liver tests, before you start and while you are taking xeljanz. Tell your doctor if you have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, and if you are pregnant, or plan to be. Taken twice daily, xeljanz can reduce the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe ra, even without methotrexate. Ask if xeljanz is right for you. Even without methotrexate.

Well, you know. Martin will break his silence about the scandal this week. Incognito attempted to set the record straight in an interview, he addressed his relationship and admitted he did use the n word but said he was not racist, part of locker room wanter. This is an issue of my and johns relationship, where ive taken stuff too far. And i didnt know it was hurting him. If you go by just all of the knuckle head stuff ive pulled done in the past, youre sitting there thinking this guy is a loose cannon or racist. I would give him a hug because weve been through so much, dude, whats going on . Why didnt you come to me . Nbcs Kerry Sanders joins us. Jonathan martin will release a video statement sometime this week. What else do we know . Reporter there are multiple sources on this. If you step back and speak to a pr professional, they would say thats probably whats needed now is some sort of return because clearly this battle is brewing and its playing out right on Television Screens across america and Internet Computers and phones and everybody listening to what was about ten minutes but it was really a 45minute interview with Richie Incognito who is the only named player who may or may not be involved in allegations of some sort of bullying and perhaps even a physical attack. The only reason richie inkog neelt toes name is out there because the dog fins re dolphins reviewed evidence and suspended him. This investigation may lead nowhere or may reveal there are other players on the team who have already been involved in these alleged bullying incidents, because he has not spoken publicly, this salvo came from incognito back to him, jay glasier, a sports journalist but also a friend of him, actually trained him in mixed martial arts. They definitely have a relationship. When he tried to get incognito to do the interview, that his guy had told him that he didnt want him to do the interview but jay glazier said he did a heavy sales job, the court of Public Opinion is definitely the window is closing, you need to speak now. Back to what richie said. He reportedly exchanged more than 1100 Text Messages with martin. In one of them just four days after he left the dolphins, he received one from martin saying he was good, that its insane, referred to him as bro. That he didnt blame those guys but he was talking about the culture around football and the locker room, quote, got to him a little. We are seeing two sides to this story when it was very different. Quite honestly all last week. Incognito said he gave his phone over to jay glasier and there are 1142 Text Messages that they traded back and forth. A lot of it vulgar and a lot of it very raw. And maybe even depending on how you view it, it could look like they had sort of an abrasive friendship, according to what jay describes of these Text Messages. But clearly the last text message is important and all of this is interesting when you consider the nfl has hired an outside investigator. Thats attorney ted wells and he is not working against sort of a clock because all of this is working out of Public Domain and any investigator wants to get a hold of what could be evidence before its out of the Public Domain and shape the evidence. Hes up against a time clock even though he says theres no deadline for him to reach a conclusion in this investigation. Thank you very much. Greatly appreciate it.

The troubled rollout of the Health Care Website will again take center stage this week. The Obama Administration is promising to release the first numbers on enrollment although officials have not said exactly when that date the data will be released. Meantime, congress will hold two more hearings this week on the rollout and include one by the House Oversight committee chaired by darrel issa who subpoenaed the Top Technology expert to testify. Mark murray, are these hearings more of a rehashing of prior hearings already and these numbers again weve been told, they will be low. Well, yes, i do think the republicans are trying to score points here and i think if the rolls were reversed you would have democrats trying to hold hearings to show embarrassment for the Republican Party. So yes, politics is being played. The numbers are going to be very low. Theres one reason why it was always assumed that the numbers for october and november would be low compared to december. That is that the insurance doesnt kick in until january 1st. If you are someone interested in Getting Health Insurance on exchanges, you it doesnt make a lot of sense to purchase it right now. That insurance isnt good until january 1st. The administration all along was expecting that they would have low enrollment numbers in the month of december. That is why the website is so important to fix. They are going to have this traffic come december, they need a functioning website to get it done. And sarah palin is out with a new book and doing rounds promoting her book. And she was asked about the president S Health Care law and this conversation of repeal had gone away, of course it still exists but the same problem persists for sarah palin and other conservatives who want it repealed. What do you replace it with. Let me play this exchange from today. Its not 5 . Its most americans will not be able to keep the Health Care Policy and programs that they had desired. And the new programs that are being force the down our throat are unaffordable. From the tea party over and over again were hearing no, defund, delay right on. Absolutely. What are we hearing from the tea party in terms of absolute realistic plan it is not just the independent grass roots Tea Party Movement but many in the Republican Party and democrats too, especially democrats in red States Running for reelection wheres the plan . Running for political cover. The plan is to allow those things that had been proposed over many years to reform a Health Care System in america that certainly does need more help. Mark, she didnt say what those things were and this always brings us back to the beginning of the conversation over health care. Is there going anywhere for them . Tamron, thats right. Republicans say we just mentioned they are going to score political points when issas committee holds hearings regarding this tough rollout for obama care. The republicans dont haval around around tern tif. There are a lot of goodies despite how the rollout has gone. For folks that can have insurance that might have preexisting conditions and young people on their parentS Health Care, those are things in republican researches havent been able to have a policy alternative that would also contain that stuff in there. That does show in the long run the republicans box themselves in. Yes, were against this obama care but havent been able to say what they are for. Its interesting you see box themselves in. Many wondered if the conservative part of the more conservatives in the party have boxed themselves in and they can not grow their numbers and cannot win general elections. I want to play what sarah palin said when asked about governor Chris Christie on the today show and interesting point he made as far as outreach for the party while making the sunday morning rounds. Lets play both. Hey, new jersey, a blue state has a republican governor. Right on. Beats the alternative. And when you stand in the mitdle of the road, you get hit on both sides. We need to take a stand. If you want to attract a majority of the hispanic vote, if you want to nearly triple your africanamerican vote as a republican, what you need to do is show up. People who are republican will be faced with is she the past and is he the future . Thats right. I do think those two different parts of the Republican Party are clearly on the display in the clips there. Chris christie represents the more pragmatic side of the Republican Party. Theres no doubt that hes very concerted but willing to cut deals when it benefits him as well as the opposition. When sarah palin is saying, standing in the middle of the road, you end up getting hit. That recommendation the tea party where we shouldnt be compromising at all. We should be fighting for our principles and even if theres an opportunity where we can compromise to help our side out we shouldnt end up doing that. The Republican Party is split 50 50 between the two voices, tamron. All right, mark, well see what happens tomorrow. As soon as we get the numbers in, the number of people enrolled will discuss it. Secretary of state john kerry will brief lawmakers on hill this week after talks with iran over the Nuclear Program stalled over the weekend. The talks in geneva involved the you had, britain, france, and russia and china. At the News Conference this morning, secretary kerry disputed reports that the french had delayed a deal. Instead saying it was the iranians who stood in the way of an interim agreement. There was unity. But iran couldnt take it at that particular moment so hard work was done and progress was made and p5 plus 1 was united. It was not a race to complete just any agreement. No deal is better than a bad deal i have said many times as has president obama. And kerry spouresponded to netanyahu who called the developing deal, the deal of the century for iran. The iran gives practically nothing and it gets a hell of a lot. Thats not a good deal. I believe the Prime Minister needs to recognize that no agreement has been reached about the end game here. Thats the subject. Negotiation. The sanctions were put in place in order to bring about a negotiation. Nothing is given up in a first step that freezes the program and even sets it back. Joining me now, ian herr at northwestern university. Thank you for joining us again. My pleasure. Secretary kerry went on to say the time to oppose the deal is when you see it, not to oppose the effort to find out what it is possible basically saying dont put the chicken before the egg here. How do you assess whats happening here, particularly some of the rhetoric from Benjamin Netanyahu . Its ironic. The deal appears to be well crafted between u. S. And iran. Those negotiations went well. Where it fell apart between the u. S. And france and maybe other allies, the diplomacy isnt between u. S. And iran, it has to be u. S. And france. What is the key component to move the diplomacy conversation if those are the actual facts and the country is behind the stall here, how do you then move it forward . Yeah, were not really sure yet in public what the deal is. Were not quite clear what the holdup is. But it looks like its kind of two deep positions at stake. One is that the u. S. And iran have been getting along much better recently. For years that relationship was defined by the hard liners on each side who didnt want that has changed and that is so much for the better. The u. S. And iran can recognize their mutual interests now. The problem i think is that france is representing the position that says, that you cant trust the iranian government. But kerry is disputing these reports that its the french who delayed this deal. Yeah, its hard to know whats really going on. The voices from behind the scenes suggest that the deal was more or less set and france came in and opposed it. Maybe kerry is putting on a good face to a diplomatic stall. In the big picture, this is a good deal, this will get smoothed out and work out better for both iran and the rest of the world. Its interesting his overall message, secretary kerrys overall message to critics of the effort is withhold the comments until a deal is reached which is precisely what youre saying. We dont know the intri catcies and details of whats happening there. I think what youre seeing are the voices against the deal are the voices who would probably be against any deal at all. Those who do not want to reduce the sanctions on iran, regardless of what iran does. I think the more pragmatic position is to recognize if the sanctions are reduced a little bit and concessions can be made on openness for the iranian program, both sides win and its possible to move onto the next step of even greater reductions in sanctions and even greater controls on the Nuclear Program. We do have a precedent, remember, south africa gave up its Nuclear Program entirely by itself when it realized it was too much hassle to maintain its secret Nuclear Weapons program. A lot of people think iran might go down that same road, if digin the right incentives. Thanks for joining us again. My pleasure. Thank you. Up next on news nation.

In houston texas, a white activist won a local election after handing out flyers leading voters to believe hes africanamerican.

Time for the news nation gut check. A video posted last week revealed surprising details about the lack of africanamerican students at ucla. A third year africanamerican studies major posted this video. When we have more National Championships than we do black male freshman, its evident the only purpose is to improve the winning percentage. Black High School Kids can care less about grades as long as the number on the back of the jersey doesnt fade. It has been viewed tens and thousands of time since being posted last monday and reignited the debate over affirmative action. Californias prop 209 which dates back to 1996 bans universities from using affirmative action practices to bring more minority students on their campuses. A michigan law modeled by the same proposition is currently being reviewed by the supreme court. Joining me from burbank, thanks for your time. Thanks for having me. You are the cousin of arthur ash and said in a statement you feel its your responsibility to uphold the strong voices of the black community. Tell me a little bit what led to that decision to make the video and post it . So, as you said, im a cousin of arthur ash. The reason why i felt it was necessary. Back in the day when obviously he was advocate for civil rights movement, et cetera, there was a push on the ucla campus and we were known for this Diverse University doing something in the community. And you said it took a lot of pride in that. I feel they are using that for leverage to say its still here and but i didnt feel with me as well as the rest of the black community that we were being represented and we were being still under served. In this university that claimed to be diverse. And i feel like they are trying to uphold a prestigious operation. They are a Prestigious University but i feel now its about the money spending in leisurely ways and not about inclusion. A statement, we certainly recognize the low number of africanamericans and other underrepresented students on campus. Does it lead to sense of isolation . Its difficult to we mentioned the proposition that was put before voters in california and how it came out there. Im also curious, you chose to use a comparison of how many titles the university has won. Ncaa titles as it relates to africanamerican students. That really hit home because you see so many black athletes on the field but not students who are nonathletes in these schools. Exactly. I feel like the focus is, theres this general sense within the black community, mostly the low Socio Economic status areas that you either become a rapper or basketball player or Football Player in order to be successful. The stress on academics isnt there anymore or actually never really was. I feel like its used kind of aagainst us to keep us at that low point and made it so its given the illusion the only way they can make it out through sports. It got a lot of people talking. I know youve got a lot going on and a lot of people want to talk to you. What does your gut tell you . Should proposition 209 which bans state schools be reexamined . Go to newsnation. Msnbc. Com.
