Well have the latest information. Our sunday sit down with the cofounders of instagram. The social media phenomenon dreamed up in a San Francisco coffee shop that now has 700 million users including the holy father himself. That has to be a moment when the pope signs up for instagram and you help him get on. Whats your password going to be your holiness. All he has to do is touch the sign up button and im like i hope this works. Our sunday sit down with the instagram guys plus tom rob bins and harry smith later in the show. Lets begin with the heated president ial election taking place in france hours of a massive hank on the front runners campaign. Matt is live for us this morning in paris. Good morning. Good morning, willie. This is a crucial vote and not just for the future of france but for europe as a whole but its still not exactly close. Macron is le pen by 20 . The polls called it right two weeks ago during the first round and well know if they called it right again in about six hours. Today in france the battle royale. Two political outciders with different visions for the countries future voting this morning. All eyes are on marine le pen. She is far right wants to quit the European Union and nato and crack down on the practice of islam. But polls favor macro. A probusiness liberal that wants to keep france in the eu. Hes never held elected office. He announced late friday night that his campaign was hacked. 9 gigabytes of data and thousands of emails now circulating on the web. Suspicion turned to russia and the campaign likened the hack to last years dnc the comparison to the u. S. Election doesnt end there. French campaigns have seen bitter debates. Violent Campaign Rallies and allegations of fake news. And just last week, Barrack Obama endorsed macron. He appeals to peoples hoe h and not their fears. Two weeks after donald trump expressed his support for l le pen. They hope for a trump sized upset. We know how they were about donald trump last time so were still very optimistic. A victory that would not only up end france but send shockwaves across europe and around the world. The threat of terrorism looms lan large over this vote and a few hours ago the site of the Victory Party for macron was evacuated because of a Security Threat. Turns out so far it was just a threat. Watching that election closely for us paris. Thanks so much. Back here at home President Trump spent the weekend celebrating the passage of the Health Care Bill through the house of representatives and now looking toward the senate but tomorrow the focus will be on how he got to the white house with testimony before congress about the connection during the campaign between his ousted National Security adviser Michael Flynn and russia. Kelly odonnell is with the president in branchburg, new jersey with more on tomorrows testimony up on the hill. Kelly, good morning. Good morning. Tomorrow the public will hear for the first time from a former Government Official that went to the white house with a warning about russia and Michael Flynn and lost her own position days later when she refused to enforce the president s travel ban. The white house has been trying to distance itself from the russia question but that will be hard to do tomorrow. Fired by President Trump, former Top Justice Department official sally yates has a story to tell monday about National Security adviser Michael Flynn. The white house said in march it was okay for yates to go public. If they choose to move forward, great. We have no problem with her testifying. Yates that was briefly acting attorney general. I believe that we can work together. Warned the Trump White House in january that flynn had mislead officials about his contacts with the russian ambassador. Former obama director of National Intelligence James Clapper is expected to testify tomorrow as part of a senaterussia investigation. Turning to the fall out over health care. Saturday outside buffalo new york republican congressman tom reid faced angry constituents in a series of town hall meetings. Reid defended his vote for the Gop Health Care plan. I totally understand it and anxiety, because we are talking about health care. Its a very personal situation an unusual driveby protest saturday. A line of a few dozen cars passed outside of President Trumps golf resort where local police prevented them from stopping. Demonstrators then met nearby. I wanted the people in this community to know that we dont all agree with them. Others defended the long time local resident that is now president. Hes a hard working guy. Hes a very hard working guy and hed like to have a day off. And from his new jersey home today the president tweeted about the russia issue but saying dem he cats connections to russia should be investigated. Other than that the white house is saying they want these investigations to go forward and theyre not commenting. Willie. Kelly odonnell, Andrea Mitchell is in this morning for chuck todd on meet the press. Andrea great to see you on a sunday morning my friend. Great to see you. Lets begin with domestic politics and the Health Care Bill. Thursday there was the rose garden celebration lead by President Trump along with the House Republicans that voted for the bill and passed it by the slimmest of margins. They did their job and defended on a campaign promise. The senate almost immediately were going to wipe the slate clean and write our own bill so for americans that may be watching this this morning and say whats about to happen in my health care what are the odds that the final law if there is one looks like the bill that went through the house this week. I think the odds are that what comes out of the senate is not going to be anything like what the house passed. Its going to create a baseline for what then goes back to the house if something does come out of the senate. Something then goes back into a conference house did is important because they already crossed a number of bridges by really making drastic changes in medicaid, big, big cuts, at least 880 billion in the first version and then people with preexisting conditions. This is going to hurt if it comes out anything like the house bill, hurt older people, people with preexisting conditions and according to the health and Human Services departments own estimates, 84 of people age 55 and older have preexisting conditions that would have enabled them to be covered that insurance would have had to cover, could not ban under the previous obamacare and now well be up to the insurance companies. The states can opt out so theres a lot of options here for people who the Insurance Industry f the states who want to opt out and theres going to be a lot of pressure on that. For trns you laid out democrats are outraged by the bill but in 2018, perhaps in the house of representatives. Its a tall task. They have to flip 24 seats but they have to take back the house and stand up to the president in a target way. Do they have an issue that can guide them through the next couple of years . They have an add that will come out later today against martha that is a Republican Retired Air force pilot. A popular republican in arizona. They think they have an issue but they probably shouldnt count on it yet. Charlie cook has moved 20 seats into either toss up or leaning republican, very few seats into, you know, the democratic camp so far among those districts where Hillary Clinton either won or almost won and Congress Members voted for this bill. They shouldnt count this be of the senate. You have a lot to talk about this morning. Thank you so much. Well be watching meet the press where she will be joined by Diane Feinstein and price. Also the relationship between russia and the trump campaign. Andrea, thank you again. Now to sad news overnight, the death of American Olympic champion steven holcomb.

She goes to school in birmingham england. She had her right leg amputated shortly after birth and has worn a prosthetic ever since. Well this week she showed up with a brand new super cool pink sports blade and her friends loved it. She shows off what she can do with the new blade. She runs. Theyre all running behind her. Marching arm and arm with her pals. The video which now has been viewed tense of millions of times around the world brought them to tears. It brought a lot of people to tears this week. Its that thing of kids they just strip it all away. Real he emotion. When you see something cool like that you gravitate toward it. Good job you ye the battle of the bands this week on the day of the American Health care act vote. House republicans got fired up in the prevote locker room by blasting a classic. Thats right. Paul ryan and the guys getting hyped with the theme from rocky before charging out on the floor of the house to cast their vote. Personally i would have gone with the training montage off the rocky 4 sound track but i respect your decision. After they voted yes to pass the Health Care Bill democrats sang a song of their own. The 1969 steam classic, n na na hey, hey, hey goodbye. The implication of that song on the houseor voting for the bill some republicans had kissed their seats goodbye in next years midterm election. I thought watching anything in slomo makes it cool. Wasnt that cool. The rocky walk out wasnt cool. No. Well they tried. Our next high goes to the high spirits of one 14 month old after he locked himself in his mothers car. A british mom was panicked when she closed the trunk of her car after loading her groceries and watched her toddler son in the backseat lock the doors before she could get around to get into the car. It was not a hot day so there was no Immediate Health risk but mom did call the Fire Department to get the boy out so just how concerned was little brandon . Heres how concerned he was. Having the absolute time of his life. He climbed from the backseat into the front and with a giant smile on his face pretended he was driving the car to show off for the firefighters. Brandons mom posted the photo the guys that rescue my cheeky monkey. He was clearly traumatized by the whole idea. One of those cases where the parent is way more worried than the kid. I got firefighters here. I get to drive the car. Its the best moment of my 14 months on earth. Our final low goes to one couples fundamental misunderstanding of how escalators work. A Youtube Video was shot by another man. You can see the couple over his shoulder there. They calmly attempt to walk down an up escalator. And this goes on and on and on with the man and woman undeterred by the fact that theyre not making a single step of progress. Just walking in place while people pass them by on their way up. Wed show you how this ends but we assume the couple is still there battling to get to the bottom of an up escalator. It looks like theyre almost annoyed at the other people going the other way. Deterred by the fact that its not working. Its not a joke. Theyre seriously trying get down the stairs. Theres one moment where they concede defeat and they just stop walking and just ride up backwards. Incredible. Coming up our sunday sit down with the cofounders of instagram. How their simple idea to give us all a place to post our photographs caught fire and spread around the world. A rare joint interview with the instagram guys. And harry smith visits an Old Country Store where people come from all over to play and sing. Head over to facebook for a Facebook Live chat in just two minutes. Two become one. Then youre a couple.

Good morning. Right thou, police are asking for the Publics Health to tra down a suspect in a deadly stabbing in maryland. 19yearold Jean Marie Ocha was found stabbed outside a apartment complex. He was killed sometime between midnight and 6 00 a. M. If you have any information, please contact green belt police. A d. C. Family needs your help, as well, finding their missing teenager.

Call police if you have seen hill. We will have a look atour cool f yor tom, tom, just talking with director naomi about the caps bouncing back. She wants to know, though, how about her Winter Weather . Yeah, its kind of a bouncing back to march. We start off on this sunday morning, we have a few sprinkles of light rain northern Frederick County. This will be passing and moving away over the next half hour or so. Later today, all this area you see in the green, these are a few scattered showers that will come out of the mountains into the shennendoah valley, Northern Virginia around 2 00 p. M. They come closer to the metro around around 3 00, 4 00. A few of those showers passing around 5 00 p. M. We get cold by dawn tomorrow. Temperatures will be down to just near on 40 degrees. Clear and chilly tonight. Angie. Were back at 9 00 with more local headlines if ever you posted a photograph to instagram to show your friends where you are and what youre doing or what youre having for lunch you can thank them. Theirs is a familiar start up Success Story from apple to google and now instagram. Two smart guys get together with an idea and not much else and end up changing the world. It was only 6. 5 years ago that they launched instagram. So how do they do it . I got together with them for take a single photograph of where you are and what youre doing, share it in real time with the people in your life and give them an easy button to push to show they like it. That simple idea is now a global community. Lets talk about 700 million monthly users. You guys set out to do this 6. 5 years ago. Could you ever have dreamed being where you are today back then . No, i think we started, you know, knowing that we wanted to bring this out to the world but this is beyond our wildest dreams when we were Getting Started back then. I remember looking at mike and being like i think were on to something. Meanwhile he is stressing out trying to keep the service up and he is like maybe. 33yearolds kevin and mike met while studying at stanford university. Kevin already worked at a Company Called odio which later would become twitter. He shared a dorsey. Mike had come from his native brazil. Do you remember mike meeting kevin at stanford . I do. I specifically remember talking to kevin about odio and i was like oh you intern at the company that became twitter and we talked about it. We barely knew each other in college but it was only when i left my job at a small start up and i was like i want to start something independently. I met mike in a coffee shop and he was working on, he was hacking on a project and i was like cool. Hes hacking on a project. He seems really smart. While he was still in College Kevin turned down an offer to work at a company he was building. The entrepreneur was mark zuckerberg. The company was facebook. I remember meeting one of my mentors and i was like hey should do this facebook thing and i remember the person saying its a fad. In 2010, four years after graduating stanford, they got together to start their own company. What wast when it was you two guys in the coffee shop. Where did you start . In a small coworking space called dog patch labs but it was on a pier in San Francisco. Didnt have heat. So late nights i remember looking over and mike has on this giant parka with the fur around the thing and you can see his breath as he is coding. It was rough. Their first idea, a Company Called burbn didnt workout but they took what they learned from the experience and in the fall 2010 launched instagram. In less than 3 months. We stripped away everything and said we wanted to make this experience of photo sharing and being proud of it and making that really quick, how do we make that incredible. You sat there at your lap tops and youre watching this thing explode. I feel like its were not ready for this much success this quickly. Were sitting there watching us cross 1 million. It was 999,000 and then it flipped to 1 million and we were just like did we just do that . Did that happen . Who is that person . Who are these people . I actually think we looked up who that person was but it was getting away from us. In some ways it still is and your job is to just catch up with it on a constant basis. 18 months later instagram had 30 million users. Among them big names that fell in love with the platform. So as the company was growing maybe before you sold it to facebook who were the craziest celebrities that joined instagram and you were like oh my god that person is using the thing we dreamed up. First one was snoop dogg. Snoop was the first. He joined early and i think that matters, right . Snoop makes it cool. He gives his stamp of approval and people flow in 9 at the time and snoop dogg joins and then you get a message that snoops people want to come over to the office. Snoops people want to i dont have people. Do you have people . This past year i went to the vatican and helped on board the pope and you just realize these people were so influential in the world using our product to get their message out in the world and thats really special. That has to be a moment when the pope signs up for instagram and you help him get on. Yeah. Whats your password going to be your holiness . All you have to do is touch the sign up button and it was like i really hope this works. Mark zuckerberg took notice of what was happening on instagram. He called kevin with a Second Chance to come to facebook. Less than two years into its life instagram was sold to facebook in april of 2012 for 1 billion. How did those conversations initiate. What were the first mark about hey well join forces here. Meeting mark back in college allowed me to know what mark was about. What drove him and we were 13 people trying to keep a site up so the promise of joining this giant company with all of this expertise to work on a social problem together that was the thing that really made it work. Kevin and mike staid on to run instagram under facebook. In a social media environment plagued by bull ligament and negativity, instagram works hard to buck the trend. Constantly adding new user tools. We believe a lot in giving people the control to make sure that their space is safe. The ability to filter out certain words and comments, block people making them uncomfortable or just being jerks is really important to us. Even with their latest updates, stories, and lives, the instagram founders say theyre possible within instagram with designs on becoming a multibillion user platform. Does Virtual Reality fit into this picture at all for you guys . If we could build a teleporter to take you to someone elses experience whether its a wedding or amazing vacation someone is having and allow you to experience that immersively thats on the horizon for instagram. Kevin and mike are moving fast into the future but they do pause briefly to reflect on what they built in less than 7 years. Every day i get to wake up and work on the most amazing thing in the world. We get to change 700 million peoples lives every single month. Thats crazy and i love working with this guy. Its just a dream. Its awesome. As kevin and mike pitch their idea early on they were told theres month money in photos. The argument was that photos on coffee mugs might not business but to be communication might be. They were right. To hear them set the record straight on which is the first ever Instagram Post check out our web extra today. Com sunday and our thanks to a lounge in new york for hosting us for that interview. Next week our series on tech titan continue with twitter cofounder and ceo jack dor sey. Well see how the company has begun to turn around its recent problems and what jack thinks of the most visible user President Trump. Thats next week on sun good morning. A little sunshine in and out of the metro area to our north and west. We are getting a few scattered sprinkles here in Montgomery County, Frederick County. These are begin to go dry up a bit and should be gone in another couple of hours. Later today, afternoon showers are looking likely with temperatures near 60 degrees and the wind gusting around 25 miles per hour. Those showers enning by 6 00 p. M. Overnight, cold by dawn monday, near 40. Afternoon highs tomorrow near 60. Next chance of rain may be next thursday. Im creeping on you over here. On sunday Academy Award winning actor tim robbins bringing his craft to an Unlikely Group of performers inside americas pr you help ensure that children in the u. S. And around the world are safe, healthy and educated. This red nose day, swing by walgreens and get your noses on to help end child poverty. Walgreens.

If i ask you to name the first tim robbins movie that comes to mind theres a chance youd say the shawshank redemption. He was also nominated as the best director of another prison movie. Dead man walking. But robins interest in the criminal Justice System and those incarcerated within it extends off the screen and into real life. Joe has our sunday spotlight. At the california correctional institution, prisoners are surrounded by layers of barbed wire. On the inside their emotions are usually locked up too. But not inside this room. Here feelings are before long youll see a transformation that shattered every prison stereotype. If someone told you a few months ago youd be putting on make up and doing an acting class, what would you have said . I would have laughed. These inmates are take drama classes through the prison project created by a Theater Group called the actors game. Look closely youll see tim robbins paying a visit. Yeah, yeah. Robins star of the legendary prison movie shawshank redemption. If you want to keep all that money, give it to your wife. Is the groups artistic director. We get them to start collectively in a group trying to find emotions that have been lost to them. In a place where anger is the primary state. Its going to be frozen. Prisoners focus on expressing other feelings. Like sadness. And fear. Louder than that. So this is almost like a workout for their emotional life. Share with somebody out here. The inmates say its a different kind of freedom. Were not supposed to be sad in prison. Were not supposed to be afraid in prison but you are all the time every day. I dont really get a chance to express it so i come in here. I have opened up a lot in this group. It was hard for me to do eight the beginning. This is amazing. The project is now operating inside ten california prisons among inmates that take part the state has seen an 89 drop in rule break incidents. The kind of change veteran corrections officer terry turner noticed in just a few weeks. Ive never seen anything like this in my entire career so its a good thing. The hope is their behavior will extend to their next incarcerated now are going to be getting out and be in our neighborhoods and wouldnt we want them to come out with better tools to deal with disappointments and dysfunctions in their life than when they went in. Scott kelly will face a parole board in 2023. Whats your hope. Almost 30 years in prison. Im tired. Im ready to get out. In the past i never was ready. More than any other program he says the prison project has changed his life. Got me in touch deep inside of myself. Who i am. Take a deep breath. Try to really be in your body. Still there are objections to such felon friendly programs. When critics say Public Resources are scarce why should my tax dollars go to Something Like this, what do you say . Relatively low investment in arts programs creates so much benefit for society. Here its a benefit that reaches through prison bars helping inmates find security within. Breathe. Nice. For sunday today joe friar. And joe joins me now live. Good to see you. Its the old prison question what are you in for. It doesnt strike me theres a lot of judgment in that Theater Group or that theyre asked that question. We were told some of them had been convicted of murder along with other crimes. Some of them are serving life sentences with the possibility of parole but the people at the prison project dont want to know anything about their criminal histories. Tim robbins doesnt want there to be any judgment. He wants them to focus on the work at hand and trying to improve their lives. This isnt a project where the celebrity puts his name on it and walks away. Hes in the prisons. He was visiting quite a few. He doesnt just talk the talk. He walks the walk. He shows up and dodgers does th great story. Coming up next on sunday today harry smith travels to a tiny oh, and diane, right . Harry smith travels to a tiny oh, yeah.

G] so those financial regulations being talked about . They could affect your accounts, so lets get together and talk, and make sure everythings clear. Yeah, that would be great. Being proactive. Its how edward jones makes sense of investing. Oh no. Oh no. I hate this belt. Man oh man. Mom, we have a situation. Lifes bleachable moments need clorox bleach. Harry smiths travels take him to small corners of our great country. This one might be the smallest. For our sunday closer harry went old store full of good people and great music. The past doesnt leave much behind in places like missouri. But every monday night in a long closed Country Store memory comes alive in the form of music. Music of the ozarks. The 86yearold has been playing it all his life. What do you call the music you play . Old time hill billy music i guess youd call it. Right here in south western missouri and northeast arkansas. Its the only place youll find that kind of music. If you go 50 miles north its different. Fiddlers and guitar players and a banjo or two playing hand me down music. He started playing here in his teens. He rarely misses a night. My great grandpa played in this area and i remember my he remembered him playing and im playing those tuns. Music you learn by ear. Until recently no one had ever written down a single note. The monday night tradition began years ago. The rules are simple, no drinking, no foul language, bring a covered dish and all are welcome. The beauty of playing here is that you play with people who are really good and you playwright along beside them and its basically an apprenticeship. After supper as the strumming starts toes start to tap. The pace picks up. No fiddles ever caught fire but you we talking about . My teacher always said 140 beats a minute is what youre aiming for and then sometimes it gets to like 160 or better. In the back the guys play pitch. The ladies look pleased and sometimes you do what just has to be done. The music here is largely developed with a type of dancing that developed here. The dancers wanted it fast and they wanted to move their feet all the time and just do what they call jig dancing. Some fear that this old music is dying. But love is keeping it alive. Whats it mean to you to be able to still come in here on monday. I get emotional about it. But well i spent my whole life at it, you know ando wonderful. Wonderful. It is wonderful. Harry smith, thank you. This week we highlight another life well lived. In the early 1950s america was in a panic over the spread of polio. Nearly 60,000 children contracted the virus in 1952 alone. Swimming pools were closed and people were urged to sit far apart from each other in movie theaters. In 1955 a team of scientists at the university of pittsburgh began the process of wiping the disease off the face of the earth. 34yearold doctor was one of three men in an original group that included the famed doctor. Together they developed the polio vaccine and introduced it on april 12th, 1955. Church bells range that day and the pools opened again. Within six years there were fewer than 1,000 cases in the United States. Since 1979, there have been no cases of the u. S. Raised in the bronx new york he graduated high school at the age of 15.
