For the deadly terrorist attack on the Shopping Mall in nairobi, kenya a couple of years ago. Here is the issue here. U. S. Military and defense officials tell us they have a high degree of confidence that it was the leader who got into one of two suvs who was struck by hell fire missiles fired by a drone. Both vehicles were disastered. The problem now is even though they had confidence he was in the vehicle, they dont have the concrete evidence to say yes he was killed. They say that might take two or three more days to eventually figure out could involve dna collected from the scene not by u. S. Military, were told, but perhaps by somali authorities. In any event, nobody here at the pentagon, nobody in dod or the white house, as we understand it, is willing yet to confirm that he was killed in this air strike. Mick, we often hear especially with social media and twitter the internet traffic that following after something of this kind. Any indication on what happened from what authorities are officials at the pentagon say theyre saying online . No. This is usual. Normally after such an incident. If the al qaedalichked leader is killed, al qaeda itself will get up on the internet and declare the death of this individual as their brother martyr. Its a recruiting tool for the organizations. These terrorist organizations. In this case theres been no chatter to that end. But no chatter on the other side either. Saying despite what youre hearing hes alive. This is one of the issues that has officials here at the pentagon somewhat perplexed and cautious about declaring him dead. Mick, thank you very much for the details. And the air strikes in somali have become mounting pressure to take military action against isis in syria. Now in a few hours, the president heads to europe for key nato meetings on the isis threat as well as russias growing military presence in the ukraine. That nato summit will take place in whales where isis fears lead the British Government to raise its Terror Threat level. Yesterday Prime MinisterDavid Cameron proposed tough new antiterror measures for the u. K. Passports are not an automatic right. Well introduce specific and targeted legislation to fill this gap by providing the police with a power to seize a passport at the border that is abhorrent to the people that declare their allegiance elsewhere are able to return to the u. K. And pose a threat to national security. Isis released a new propaganda control. Peter alexander joining me live. The president and World Leaders have made it clear on the type of threat that isis poses to everyone. To be honest, but are we expecting a united front to come out of this nato summit . I think thats certainly the intention of president obama and members of his cabinet. Hell be joined on the trip to the nato summit by his secretary of defense chuck hagel as well as his secretary of state john kerry. What was underscored in the comments yesterday by the british Prime MinisterDavid Cameron. Its not just a u. S. Issue. Its not just a threat to the United States but also a threat to many european nations among them the u. K. , germany, and france where the numbers are far greater. The estimates, in terms of how many members citizens of those countries are believed to have joined isis or other extremist military groups. The president is hopeful that the other countries will help join him. 67 country and all that will be in attendance there will join him in whatever efforts and strategies are formed going forward. Beyond that it needs to be formed through Regional Cooperation as well. This administration has been actively involved in conversations with countries like the uae, saudi arabia, qatar as well recognizing its not something that the western world, so to speak, can handle independently. Be we might see a united message front when it comes to isis. We know the complexity when we look at the crisis in ukraine and what to do about russia. And thats exactly right. Earlier today, actually, on the network, tamron, we heard from the former u. S. Ambassador to russia mcfall who said the nato summit may be one of the most significant nato summits not just in years but decades given the magnitude of issues theyre dealing now. When it relates to the issue of russia and some described it an invasion into ukraine. Senior Administration Officials said the first stop to take place in estonia. The. Heading there first when he leaves the white house late this afternoon was to send a clear message to russia if they have any intentions to, in the words of the Senior Administration official to mess around in es ton estonia the same way they messed around in ukraine. They need to be aware. They want to put the russians on alert. Theyre watching them. The real question what the u. S. Is willing to do going forward. Its likely that one of the heavy topics. Does it mean more sanctions . What else does it mean the u. S. Is willing to do . All right. Live for us at the white house. Thank you, peter. Let me bring in colonel jack jacobs and senior former fellow at the brookings. Michael, the president has to decide what the u. S. Is going to do. He was referring to russia and the ongoing situation in ukraine. But, michael, i believe the same question can be posed when youre discussioning syria and even know these new air strikes against al shabaab. I want to start with sir why here. As weve learned new information just today. Because i have a conflicting set of messages. On the wund hand the president acknowledged a few days ago he had no strategy on syria. I appreciated his candor. I think the other way to look at is the previous policy of keeping his hands off and hoping the opposition would win on its own has failed. He needs a new strategy. He began to put together pieces of that new strategy for syria in june when he asked congress for a half billion dollars to help arm and train the syrian opposition. But that he seemed to throw doubt on that strategy a couple of weeks later when he got a little bit defensive and said said anybody who thinks you can carve a reasonable opposition out these different syrian groups was naive. I dont know where the president wants to direct his policy in regard to syria. I think hes been confusing on this issue its not the first time hes going to have to think it through. I think the iraq piece is looking a little better but the syria piece, i find very confusing. Michael, regarding the comment from the president about the no strategy. I believe, i think you know it as well, the white house said the president if you look at the transcript, was referring to congress who appears to be presenting a confusing message as they are on their recess. And not urgently rushing back to washington to propose a strategy there. Right. On this kind of an issue, congress does need to be helpful. The Congress Role is important but secondary. Congress cannot, as a group of 535 people, come up with a single unified policy. It can critique or fund or deny funding for an administration policy. Which is critical. The funding is critical. Colonel, let me bring you in regarding the new air strikes in somalia news we woke up to this morning. So much attention with the last several weeks on isis, its leadership, and the threat that isis poses to the world. You and i have talked a lot about al shabaab and the danger that is coming from north africa. From somalia as well. Here it is the front page news today. Yeah. Our problem is that the terrorist threat is really fragmented. Theres iraq and syria and al shabaab. And a number of other problems inside africa. You know, i went to ja booty. We had about 400 marines sitting there. Now we have americans in a wide variety of places in africa. Special forces, were training them to defend their countries. In is a real problem. Not that we dont have the muscle to get it done. But that the opponents all of o opponents are fragmented. Its difficult to hit one and expect Everything Else to fall in line. Which brings me to the issue of focussing in on the leadership of some of the terror organizations. You know many people after the death of bin laden believe that al qaeda would disappear and certainly theyve taken hits and the numbers have dwindled and flared up. Depending on what region of the world. Yet again were focussed on one individual whether he was taken out or not. Al shabaab has not been taken out. Yeah. Its good to knock the guys off. Its not sufficient. What is sufficient is to do as were doing but expand our capability. To train indigenous forces to do the things they need to do in order to reject the movement. At the end of the day, its going take not just military action. Its going to take diplomatic and economic action. All of these movements and groups rely on money and unless and until we can stop the money, keep them from using, getting and using the money unless we do that, were still going to have to fight a rear guard action like now. Thank you very much. We appreciate you joining us.

Im not asking for the moon. I just want a good deal for American Workers the president and Vice President spent labor day pushing for higher minimum wage and sending a message to the gop. This is our first read for you today. And millions of americans are at risk for Severe Weather today after a stormy weekend. Well get you updated. Ill talk with theo rossi about the final season of sons of and his efforts. You can find us on facebook, twitter, and instagram. Ive always loved exploring and looking for something better. Thats the way i look at life. Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin, theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. Heres something fun to do with hot dogs. Make easy crescent dogs.

Now to one of the biggest celebrity hacking ever that has gotten a lot of us concerned about personal information. The fbi said its addressing how more than 100 celebrities had their private information, including nude photographs, stolen and posted online. Some of the victims include oscar winner jen fur lawrence, kate upton, and hope solo. The hacker claims to have stolen the pictures from the apple iclouds. Some of the victims are speaking out over these leaked photographs. Y Jennifer Lawrences publicist spoke out. Joining me now is adam levin. Thank you for joining me. Lets start with the comment from mary. She said, you know, loon, these photographs were deleted long ago. And she could only imagine the kroepy effort that went into this. Assuming for its deleted for someone to find the pictures they had to work hard. Is that the case . Theres no question youre dealing with sophisticated people. When their eye on the ball. We are their day jobs. Celebrities are monotizeble commodi commodity. When you hit the delete button it may not be fully deleted. This has been a problem that has been talked about for years with computers, iphones, and the like. To your point, you know, the celebrity photographs. These people can make money. If theyre in our cloud and get documents and credit information, you know, they can make money off us as well in a different way. To a hacker, everybody is a celebrity. Were all commodities at one level or another. Theyre looking to us to make money. Apple released a statement and said we take user privacy very seriously and actively investigating this report. By actively investigating, what do they mean . Surely they know if they have a flaw in the system. The problem is they may have a flaw. They may not. It may relate to the fact that so many people that have pass words that are easily decipherab decipherable. They use passwords and user name and id universally. So if they get hacked in one site, theyre basically exposed. Youre not convinced its about cloud and storing information. It could be an aggressive push to break passwords and user names. It could be an aggressive approach. It could no one said the cloud is foolproof. The problem is hacking and breaches have become certain in life. You know we assume it is. And again, i said earlier on the today show. Most people dont have nude photographs, i think. Maybe they do. Whatever it is. Its your business. But you do use this device as if it is safe and secure. Certainly we shouldnt but we do. We do. And the problem is that we should be thinking about it differently than we do. We think of it as a digital friend with benefits. We dont realize that it has to be according the same respect as you would any computer. There has to be virus protection software. You have to long and strong passwords. You cant share them universally. If there are sights that have the opportunity for authentication you know youre dealing with the right sight you should be doing that. You should be prepared for the reality at some point every business will be hacked. Every consumer will be a victim of identity theft. The critical becomes monitoring and damage control. Now with naked photographs, im not quite sure what kind of damage control you can do. When it involvings your Social Security number, your personal identifying information, you need to have some program that some professional organization that helps you through the problem when you become a victim and monitoring to let you know as soon as possible to let you youre a victim. Knowing what you know and expertise. Cloud storage in or out . Would you do it . We all do it. We do it. Every time you take a photograph on an apple phone. It end up in the cloud. You can optout. A lot of people they want that kind of access. Its sort of like these things happen, assume theyre going happen. You have to be careful with what you store and you have to make absolutely sure you keep an eye on it. Youre monitoring and have that damage control program. Because even if a system is incredibly secure, humans can ruin the whole thing. That human mistake may be it was maybe the guy got in the first time because the assistant to one of the celebrities was hacked. Or maybe they just at the heart of what were looking at is external hard drive or investing in the some type of cloud. You believe cloud gives you more universal access. It is as secure as anything but the real question is how secure is anything . Thank you very much. Its the focus of todays newsnation gut check. Do you feel save using Cloud Services . Go to msnbc.

Smoking with chantix. For 33 years i chose to keep smoking. Because it was easier to smoke than it was to quit. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Its a nonnicotine pill. Chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. It actually caught me by surprise.

If you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. I did not know what it was like to be a nonsmoker. But i do now.

Its deliberation day in the public corruption trial of mcdonnell and his bief. The former first couple is charged with accepting more than 170,000 in illegal gifts and loans. All coming from Johnny Williams, sr. A wealthy businessman who wanted help promoting a new product. They face decades in prison if convicted. Their marriage was exposed during the trial as broken and dysfunctional. Nbc justice correspondent Pete Williams is live. What can you tell us about the jury instructions and the key questions for the jury as they deliberate . Reporter well, this is the prosecutions request here. They got what they wanted in terms of the judges instructions to the jury. Critically two factors that the judge said. First, in order for this the government to prove its case, in essence Bob Mcdonnell was bribed. The government doesnt have to prove that the scheme was successful. That the governor successfully promoted his product. Only that the governor agreed. There was an essence of prochls to promote the product. Whether the promise succeeded or not, whether Johnny Williams got anything in return, the judge said, doesnt matter. And secondly, the judge said, and perhaps more critically for the defense, the judge said it also is not a defense, it doesnt matter legally if there was a legal reason for what the governor did. Now governor mcdonnell has said a what he did for Johnny Williams. A reception at the governors mansion, talking up the product to state employees. Thats the sort of thing he would have done for any virginia business. It would have been Good Business promotion. And what the judge said today is that doesnt matter there is a legal reason for what he did as long as they had this agreement in essence, the bribery agreement. Thats the first thing. Secondly, you talked about the fact that during this trial that the lawyers for maureen talk about how dysfunctional the marriage is. Here is the reason for that. Shes not a public official. She cant be charged. She has no official function. She cant be accused of doing something wrong as a public official. But the prosecutions they are i have that she and her husband conspired to do these things. Thats why the defense said look their marriage was so dysfunctional they couldnt conspire to do anything. The judge will be instructing the jury, i would guess, for another half hour or so. Then lunch then deliberations. Certainly a guess of about how long it would take. I would think it would take certainly a couple of days at least. There are 14 counts herewo defendants. All right, thank you so much for the details. President obama spent labor day focussing on higher minimum wage saying hard workers americans are not being rewarded. There is no denying a simple truth. America deserves a raise the preside a message to the gop about minimum wage.

Thousand of fast food workers gearing up for a massive nationwide protests later this week. Once again, theyll be calling for higher minimum wage. Tens of thousands of workers demonstrated in over 150 cities. You recall back in may. It comes as president obama and Vice President joe biden, again, wrap up their calls for increasing the minimum wage. They both rallied middle class and Union Workers yesterday to put the pressure on congress. Back in february the president called on lawmakers to raise the minimum wage to 10. 10 an hour. Its a good thing that corporate profits are high. I want american businesses to succeed. Its a good thing that the stock market is booming. I want to see the guy who is breaking his back on two eighthour shifts so he has enough money to send his kids to college. I want to make sure that guy is getting a break. I want to make sure hes getting some help. And joining me live nbc news Political Editor mark murray. You point out the president s focus has been isis. Now with the air strikes in somalia overnight. Foreign policy issues have been front and center. But yesterday we saw a new push with minimum wage. Is it going anywhere . Well, you know, its certainly going to be what democrats want to talk about on the campaign trail. Is it going anywhere in congress . Congress only has a hand full of working days left. If theres anything that occurs in the lame duck session. We know why the democrats want to talk about it. It polls very well. It allows voters to say someone cares about me. Were seeing democrats make a very big push on this, tamron. Just a question is we havent heard a lot about this from the president or democrats. Largely because the minimum wage and Economic Issues have been overshadowed by so many other things, particularly the foreign crises that president obama is dealing with. As i mentioned, were expecting another huge turnout of workers throughout the country thursday. That helps to push this conversation back into some of the headlines. It does. And, you know, of course, labor day was a good of a time as any for the president to mention raising the minimum wage youll see the democrat s try to do as much as they can. What would take place with republicans in control of all the Congress Versus democrats being controlled congress. But this is clearly your contrast issues youre having. Republicans are going to have theirs as well, tamron. But really this is the first time weve seen the president talking about the minimum wage and talking about the economy when it comes to a campaign message. Thank you very much, mark. Less than a week after the nfl rolled out its new tougher policy on Domestic Violence, another star player landed behind bars for an alleged incident involving his fiance. Defensive end ray mcdonald was arrested early sunday morning on felony Domestic Violence charges. Mcdonald was hosting a party when police were called around 2 00 a. M. They said mcdonald appeared to have an altercation with his fiance who allegedly showed police bruises. As he was leaving a local jail. He spoke with cameras and maintained his innocence. I cant say too much. But the truth will come out. No official punishment has been announced the 449ers relea statement. Joining me now the nations Sports Editor dave dirin. Thank you for joining us. Great to be here, tamron. Here is the first test. What do you think . Its a great question. Lets remember first and foremost that the nfl Domestic Violence policy is very much about public relations. Roger goodell said that as much. Suspending ray rice for two games while suspending people like josh gordon, a wide receiver, for a year for marijuana use was a terrible look for the league. The league depends on women for their future. This is very much aimed at women. That being said, Roger Goodell is faced with the idea that he what i hear he promised that he would wait until the cases were adjudicated before putting down suspensions. These cases are very difficult to adjudicate because if say there are settlements out of court, alleged abuses do not press charges, what does the nfl do then . Well, in this case, authorities showed up at the home and she show bruises to police she said were result of this act of violence. But isnt it fair to let it play out. Whatever the end or the conclusion i would think it would be irresponsible for the nfl or any organization to launch in and level some type of punishment against the player without letting it run its course. Absolutely. The power Roger Goodell exercises other his players is disturbing. Hes already said this falls under the nfl personal conduct policy. As hes done in the past, remember, ben rot even if it not adjudicated in a court of law. How it will play out in this case given certain policies hes made will he change the promises and go after players no matter what if it tarnishes the image of the league. Thats something well have to keep an eye on. Absolutely. When goodell released the statement saying he got it wrong and the other situation was very personal. So you can see hes e vofled to the point or people around him have helped push him to realize the seriousness of this when the nfl us is spends somebody for an entire year for marijuana and basically turns a blind eye when it comes to Domestic Violence in the past. Let he talk to you about michael sand. It was a hot topic over the internet this weekend. Lets look at his play during preseason games and where he stands now. Was it the right call to cut him . Yes. From the perspective of the st. Louis rams, it was expected, to me, anyway, he would be released even though he lead the team in sacks, tackles, and snaps. Theyre stocked at defensive line. What is more disturbing, frankly, no other nfl team picked him up. A lot of nfl teams need edge rushers. He showed he can do that. It really does make you wonder about the way the nfl it market itself as being, you know, an organization that only cares about winning and the implication theres no homophobia here whatsoever. Yet given some things that are being said anonymously by executives about they dont want to bring the circus to town if michael sam comes there. That says to me that homophobia exists in the National Football league. Does goodell need to speak about this with so many people like yourself questioning understanding the rams releasing him but questioning other teams not picking this guy up. If the numbers match and he cant produce on the field. One wonders. Roger goodell within as we know, is hardly allergic to a camera and microphone. Especially when it comes to shaping the image of the league. At the same time, he would be running at lagger heads with a lot of people who pay his salary. Who the owners and executives. Hes quicker to crack down on players than ownership. Thank you very much, dave zirin. The investigation is under underway how a 7yearold was injured at the california shooting range.

And our countries can Work Together to improve Public Health so this kind of outbreak doesnt happen again. Elt officials estimate up to 020,000 people may contract the deadly disease over the next six months. The director of the cdc said the epidemic is spiraling out of control and nations need to act with medical teams immediately to reverse the course. In california a 7yearold is in the hospital after being injured while shooting on his familys gun range. The boy was firing a single shot 22 caliber rifle. A bullet apparently ricochetted. His parents were with him. The child began complaining of chest pains and air lifted to a nearby hospital. Another day of Severe Weather in the eastern part of the country. Areas from kentucky to upstate new york are on alert. Everything from flooding to high winds and even tornados. Over the weekend, dangerous storms affected states from oklahoma to new england. Several tornados were reported including one in massachusetts. As we continue our born in the usa series today were highlighting a company that is r revolutionizing the way we teach children with autism. Its being done with robots. These are no ordinary robots. In addition to recognizing people, and objects, they can e detect expressions, touch, and motion. Making them even more special is their ability to interability with children on a personal level. Motivating them to learn. The robots were developed by engineers with the row bow kind company who essentially innovated being called advanced social robotics who purposefully built them for autism intervention, special. Joining me now is the ceo. Lets talk about how this came to life given were talking about a robot here. What is the back story . Was there a personal connection . A desire to help children who need the assistance . Yes, my son was involved with pioneering facial technology in robots, and also the development of personality. And these were developed for Research Labs and universities. They were half Million Dollar robots. What we said is if we can cut the cost and keep the technology, it can have some incredible affects in the world of education. We were in the last three years, to create the robot at 1 100th of the cost. The robots initially 16,000. Now youre looking at 3,000 without educational software. About 5,000 with. Schools perhaps could have Something Like this so it can be shared among children. This is milo. Tell me how it would work for a child that has been diagnosed with autism well, what weve done is had some of the world experts from leading universities write courses in autism specifically courses that are universal to children with autism. In terms of understanding emotions and how to react in social situations. Okay. And these courses can go on for up to a year or a year and a half. And the robot can deliver perfect courses. The big thing about autism that is so special with the robot is a lot of these children with autism need the same thing for it to work. 10, 15, 20 times. Sometimes over six months and staff cant do that. Can you show me how it can work . Its a social situation the child would see the video and would be described during the time the robot comments on the behavior and can sense when the child is frustrated or agitated in the back and forth. Lets see how it works. Thank you, tamron. Oh. I make learning fun and exciting while being your friend. As i talk, i share i cons on my chest, videos on tabloids and repeat lessons without getting tired or angry. My course for Autism Treatment are written by experts. I can also teach kids to be fluent in foreign languaging and help elders with dementia. Doesnt that sound great . Yes. [ laughter ] so it would interact with milo for the kids there. I love that obviously it turns into a fascinating thing when youre talking to a robot and exploration of science and technology. What has been the response from kids . This creates an unbelievable level of engagement. Which is one of the keys to learning. One quick story is we took them into the Autism Centers and children that would not talk to staff after ten minutes started talking to the robot. Really .
