The feds at the request of the russians stepping in to help investigate whether that plane crash in egypt was a terror attack. This amid reports that the airport baggage scanning machine was often broken. Security elsewhere lax as well. Were live in egypt with the investigation. Nfl stars in the spotlight. Dallas cowboys lineman greg hardy takes to twitter overnight apologizing after pictures of his battered exgirlfriend were posted online. While another nfl probowler, the giants Jason Pierrepaul is set to take the field today just months after he mangled his hands in a fireworks accident. And mystery in the sky. A bizarre streak of light in the skies over Southern California prompt panicked calls to Law Enforcement and sparked a social media frenzy. Well tell you what it was today, sunday, november 8th, from nbc news, this is today live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning. Welcome to today on this sunday morning. Im chanielle jones. And maybe it wasnt a baa zar izarre streak in the light. Maybe it was al roker going to his new location. Al roker is in spokane, washington. Day three, a huge crowd with him up early on a sunday morning. Well check in with him in a bit. Well get to the top story this morning. Donald trump on saturday night live. It was an electric scene here on 30 rock overnight as donald trump took to the stage and protesters took to the streets outside the famed studio. Thats where nbcs ristmaen dahlgren is this morning. Kristen, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Between 250 and 300 protesters joined in that march late yesterday. One group called the port racism offered 5,000 to any audience member to disrupt the show. The show went off without any problems, but it didnt ignore the protests. Surrounded by trump impersonators, donald trump played the 5,000 brown fi ounty for laughs. And were going to have a lot of fun tonight. Trumps a racist its larry david. Whemat are you doing, larry . They said if i said that they would give me 5,000. I can fully see that. They are bringing drugs they are saying trump was not welcomed back as the host of celebrity apprentice. Hes not joking about that. Donald trump doesnt joke about those things. For him to make fun of that, that quite shameful. The show answered critics with satire. Sort of how like the people outside are chanting dump trump but they really just mean, what are his ideas on health care . Reporter the cast imagined a Trump Presidency two years on. Just like i promised, right . Prosperity is at an alltime high. So everyone is happy . Were so happy, mr. President. If you think thats how its going to be when im president , youre wrong. Its going to be even better. Hey. Reporter the host of snl is usually asked to get out of his comfort zone. Listen to this, dave. Enjoy my tweets. You used to call me on the cell phone but it remains to see who gets the last. Reporter i wont watch snl anymore. And this could spell trouble for nbc. I know how to take a joke. But donald trump was welcomed back at least for one saturday night. So one other controversy with trump hosting is wil the other candidat now ask for equal time on snl . Now with variety added up, it only was 12 minutes he was on camera, but well have to see if others are going to ask. Kristen dahlgren, thank you. Mean while, Donald Trumps main rival dr. Ben carson is facing questions about his past this morning. He opened up to nbcs Chris Jansing about the scrutiny he lls a witchhunt. Chris is joining us from washington this morning. Chris, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, craig. Ben carson is learning with ontrunner and a us the comes scrutiny, in particular to his rise to the tev in the medical le. But the questions about his biographical details pile up, so does the cash. Ben carson coming off a week when his Campaign Raises jawdropping 3. 5 million. Says he has the media to thank. Yeah, the people are saying is going on and getting fmoed up. It is the us versus them thing. Ow reporter in an exclusive interview, carson criticized re rting as to whether he was offered a scholarship to west point into his redemption story and violence in his youth. And the latest from toe wall street journal, during a riot at his high school in 1968 he protected a few white students from the attack by hiding them. A dramatic account of courage and kindness. But his story couldnt be confirmed in interviews with a half dozen of mr. Carsons classmates and High School Physics teacher. Why would they know about that unless they were one of those . Reporter so it doesnt surprise you that no one in any of the stories have come forward . Well, maybe one of those students will come forward. Reporter carson calls the scrutiny a witchhunt, unlike anything any former president has faced. I have not seen hat with anyone else. Not even close. Reporter so what do you think is going on . Why you . Because im a threat. Reporter a bwh threat, he says, to Hillary Clinton and the secular progressive movement. Along with all the new scrutiny comes a bigger press corps with foreign reporters now in the mix. One british newspaper has a photo spread this weekend describing carsons marylanh home as a temple to himself including a painting of the candidate with jesus. Ben carson tells me he expects many more questions and will get some of them tuesday at the next repu waican debate. He says hes scheduled just a half a dayopf prep adding life is preparation. You can see much more of my interview with ben carson today on meet the press. Craig . Chris ja sing, thank you. Chuck today is moderator of meet the press. Good morning to you. Good morning. Lets stay with ben carson here. Hes shifted blame to the media. Does it look like hell be able shakeoff the questions about his past . I dont know. And i say this because his candidacy is built on his personal story. His personal success. And t it starts coming apart, if the personal story isnt what he has s taid it is, in some form or another, then it can unravel mothre than it would for a traditional politician. You know, we are conditioned to assume regular politicians embellish things. But ben carson was supposed to be different. And thats why i think its more of a danger to him than it would be frankly to maybe anybody else in this field, simply because of how a his candidacy has been built and why so many voters have been gravitating to anward hwe. Thcee its the honesty factor that has been his strength. Chuck, here we are a year out from the election and thought it would be a goodenime to look at whtaere the race was four years ago. We dusted off a poll, im sure youre familiar with this one. This is where we were, the nbc wall street journal poll. In 2011 you can see right there, rman cain surging. Newt gingrich surging. Obviously a lot of uncertainty then. What is different about the uncertainty this time around . Well, notice who you didnt pod int out in there. The eventual nominee was actually on top of the polls at that time. The eventual nominee mitt romney was always in first or second. This time we if you dont believe donald trump or ben carsons going to be the nominee, well then who is . So i think its a lot more volatile than it was four years ago. Think the potential for a donald trump or ben carson to be the nominee is higher today than it ever has been before. Is it possible that the Republican Party suddenly decides to strt of step out a little bit and goes to a little more traditional way and maybe its jeb bush, maybe marco rubio . But i dont think so. I think when you look at the Different Things that have happened, craig, in kentucky this week, an outsider candidate who republicans said was unelectable is the governor and won by ten points. A lot of conservatives believe they dont have to settle this time. And i think it means we are in for a long ride. It will be twists, turns, pops of popcorn, sit back and enjoy the show. We will do it, my friend. The gift that keeps giving. See you in a bit on meet the press where your guests are donald trump, bernie sanders, Carly Fiorina and ben carson. The fbi has been asked by russia to join the investigation into the plane crash over egypt. This as questions surface over whether the bags were properly checked before the doomed fltiight. Bill neely is in Sharm Elsheikh for us this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning, craig. This investigation is now focused on fractions of a second. The final seconds of that cockpit voice recording and the noise that points to an explosion. Its soundwaves may help unlock this mystery. And now, as you say, the fbi is getting involved. Its not unusual for the fbi to be asked to help in a disaster. It is unusual for the russians to ask the fbi has said yes. Though a spokesman told nbc news its roll will be modest. Russian teams have taken away 15 sacks of sand from the site and according to egypt, human remains for analysis. They are looking for evidence of a bomb. The number one most important thing is testing the residue of this airliner to try to see whether theres any kind of traces of explosives. Reporter investigators now know that time after takeoff when disaster struck. 23 minutes and 14 seconds. Reporter at that moment on the cockpit recorder, the cdr, something extraordinary. A noise was heard in the last seconds of the cdr recording. Reporter every fraction of that sudden noise will now be analyzed and compared with the sound of other crashes. Investigators have found the planes autopilot was on, suggesting the crew felt everything was normal until that moment. Some parts of the wreckikage, thceeyve said, are still missing. They suggested that even a passengers lithium batteries could have caused this. They are also examining reports that a baggage scanning machine was often broken. The baggage handlers werent monitored. And the deliveries to the airport werent properly searched. 11,000 russian tourists have now been evacuated from the airport in one day. It will take nearly a week to get them all out. In st. Petersburg where most of the victims were from, the church bells tolled once for every victim, 224 times. And here the search goes on for those missing parts for the plane. Bad weather hampering that search. It is now day eight. Some new clues but still, craig, no solid answers. Bell neely for us in egypt, thank you. In louisiana investigators are now looking at 911 calls connected to the chase that led to the shooting death of a 6yearold boy last week. Two Police Officers are charged with killing the boy who was kiting in the front seat of his dads car. And now there are reports that the deadly encounter may have started with a 911 call about a bar fight involving the boys father. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is on the scene. Gabe, good morning.

The chase reportedly started after the father got into some sort of argument with his girlfriend in a local pool hall and someone called 911. But exactly what happened next is unclear. Today were hearing more about that young life cut short. This morning friends and family are membering 6yearold jeremy martin. Heartwrenching. Your heart is burning because you dont know how to feel. Miranda siegler was his baby sitter for four years and said he was autistic and full of life. Ever think of having around you. For a child to be so loving, it was just amazing in the most wonderful feeling you could ever experience. Reporter on tuesday night jeremy was buckled into the frfoont seat of his fathers suv when he was shot five times and killed following a police chase in central louisiana. This is a wounded community. This is a wounded family value. Reporter officers Derek Stafford and norris green jr. Are facing charges of murder and attempted murder. The boys father was injured during the shooting and remains hospitalized in serious condition. Stafford and greenhouse worked for the Marksville Police department, but that night they has been working side jobs for the city marshalls office. Greenhouse is the son of a local prosecutor. Investigators wont reveal exactly what led to the pursuit or what triggered the shooting. Initially, the local coroner had said the officers were serving a warrant with state police now saying that wasnt the case. There was no exchange of gunfire, they say, and no weapon was found inside his suv. Video from the officers body camera has not been leased publicly but the head of the Louisiana StatePolice Called it extremely disturbing and said that it led to the arrests. This is a complex case with a lot of moving parts. Reporter they expect to have midweek. Jeremy and his father have moved to louisiana within the past year. Jeremys visitation is scheduled for later today in mississippi. His funeral is set for tomorrow. So sad. Gabe gutierrez, thank you. Kristen welker is here with more on the streak of light out west that really got folks rattled. It really did. It looks like something out of the movies, right, guys . We begin with the serious bright light over the california sky that sent residents into the absolute panic. Social media lit up and police were inundated with calls claiming it was everything from a ufo to a comet to a nuclear explosion. The test firing of a missile by the navy. High temperatures took their toll on runners at the rock n roll marathon in savannah, georgia. One person died following the race as the mercury soared into the 80s.

In australia a Daring Rescue to remove climbers from a dangerous situation. Take a look. Two men ended up clinging to a narrow ledge over f a sheer 160foot drop to the sea.

It took crews several hours to figure out how to get the men off the cliff before they were both lifted to safety. And we have some amazing pictures of a huge sinkhole in mississippi. Residents in meridian heard cracking as the earth opened up. The parking lot sinkhole expanded to 50 feet as it swallowed 15 cars. Huge gaping hole there.

But well focus on the southeast with heavy rain moving through the panhandle of florida. This is going to stretch up into eastern alabama and most of georgia where the ground is saturated. So that could lead to isolated flash flooding. As we go throughout the day, its a fairly quick moving system that will clear out by tonight for florida. But it does linger across the southeast as we go throughout the day on monday. Definitely a washout for most of south carolina. We could end up with heavier pockets of rain. As much as three inches near coast near charleston and wilmington, north carolina, that again could lead to the potential of flash flooding when all the rain comes down in a short period of time.

Its a telescope to sensitive to wireless signals even your cell phones will interfere with its work. Welcome to green bay. Population 143. No matter where you go, its impossible not to see this. Its known as the Green Bank Telescope and it essentially dictates life for everyone here. Its not perfect here, but its the only place i know of in the world that protects its cell phone towers. Many people cant imagine living without a cell phone tower but 20 years ago we didnt have those things. We are outside most of the time. All the activities are outside. Its a caring community. Reporter charles and caroline sheathe met here in first grade. He remembers when the first telescope came to town. Telescope, what are you talking about . Yeah, we really didnt know what it was about the telescope. You could see the entire stadium from up in morgantown from West Virginia university and stick that inside our telescope. These are so sensitive to pick up the equivalent energy of a snowflake falling to the ground. The wifi will completely blow away the astronomical signals we are looking for. Reporter even green banks office space is protected. Its a big vault to control the electronic noise. The way the doors open and close, its the electronic noise. Reporter its a dream environment for green banks newest resident like diane who came here tope the noise, which he believed is making her sick. I came here because i was harmed by emissions from a cell phone tower. When im exposed to a cell phone tower, i get headaches. Splr shes reporter shes not the only one. She makes the trek all the way from canada a few times a year just to get relief. When i come here, its like my body relaxes entirely. I dont feel anything on my skin and feel like a normal person. I did scientific tests called the telephone. She turns it on and off without me knowing. And every time she turns it on, my heart rate intervals. Reporter this is interesting that you guys are not saying i wish i had a cell phone. Yeah, we just dont want one. We dont need one either. Lets hope we can keep that Little Pocket here. Kids are out playing soccer. They are going out to try to understand the universe and how we got here. People would say, i wish we had cell phones. They love not having it. The kids dont miss it and dont want it. Thank you. Up next on sundays with harry from dishwashing to headlining, an overnight singing sensation to knock your socks off right after this.

Harry smith joins us with one now. We have a good one this morning. Except for a handful of people in a few tiny bars in north texas, until a year ago, there was g tno way you had heard of leon bridges. But there was just something about his sound, his look, that captivated audiences. Was it old school or old school made new again . Baby, baby, babe im coming home reporter leon bridges looks like a guy with stories to tell. The video appears to have been pulled from an archive. The sound, familiar somehow. Is it soul, r b or sam cook reincarnate . When people think of soul, they think it has to be a big james brown, preacher man shouting on stage. Nat king cole wasnt doing that, neither was sam cook. I look at my sound as southern texas soul music. On stage, i want to give off those simple vibes, and i feel that simplicity is key. Let me tell you, honey reporter that simple thing is working. My name is on the marquee. Reporter we met bridges at th Apollo Theater in harlem, preparing to play for a sold out crowd. Let it shine let it shine let it shine reporter a year ago, bridges was washing dishes. He thought he was going to be a dancer or choreographer, until he picked up a guitar and started writing songs. He cant help it. Sweet honey darling, you know im calling reporter bridges knows his music cuts against the commercial grain. I was looking at black music today. And i was like, why isnt anybody doing this . This music in general, but specifically black music. I felt that as a young black man, i needed to go carry on this sound the best way i could. Its such beautiful music. I wanted to recreate it in my own way. I just want to be a better man reporter the world took notice, social media spread the word and, soon, bridges and his band were on the road from austin to amsterdam. On the other side of the room, a brown skinned girl staring with her brown eyes i came from playing 10, 15 people around town, at a time when it didnt really matter. Now, that its on the big stage in front of everyone, you know, i take it one day at a time. Feels good. Ill bet it does. Yeah. Dont close your eyes reporter leon bridges is the next new thing, with a great old sound. Everybody everywhere is all like this this morning. Im rooting for him. Good luck if you want to see him. Hes on tour in the United States and completely sold out. It used to be on veterans day, if you were a vfw, you would get these. I think its time to bring it back. Bringing it back. Stay tuned for meet the press. That does it for us
