Ncaa basketball tournament, two number one seeds knocked out, villanova taking down kansas. Bridges is on him. Now steps up. And oklahoma dealing a crushing defeat to oregon. So who will join them on the road to the final four . Well find out today, Easter Sunday, march 27th, 2016. Announcer from nbc news, this is today live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And welcome to today on this sunday morning. Im erica hill. Glad to have you with us. Im craig melvin with sheinelle jones, dylan dreyer, happy easter, everyone. Were representing flowers. We didnt know it was easter, now you know. Our wardrobe, mr. Extraordinaire. We look like flowers picked from different fields. I can only wear this tie once a year. Wear it today. We want to get rig t here are the results, Bernie Sanders took Washington State with 73 of the vote. In alaska, he got 82 of the vote. And results coming in from hawaii, very early this morning, where he wound up with 71 of the vote. Despite the wins, senator sanders is far behind Hillary Clinton when you look at the delegate count. Kerry has more. Reporter it was a big night for Bernie Sanders, a clean sweep in the caucuses, picking up 11 delegates in hawaii, 13 delegates in alaska, 23 delegates from Washington State. The vermont senator told his supporters at a raucous rally that he believes there is now the momentum to go all the way. We knew from day one that we were going to have politically a that is the conservative part of our country. But we knew things were going to improve if we headed west. Nobody can deny our campaign has the momentum. You are the momentum. Look around you tonight. Reporter noticeably absent from the microphones and cameras last night, Hillary Clinton. But despite her caucus numbers last night, not even breaking 30 , when you add up the numbers, the delegate map overall reveals at this moment with 22 states to hold primaries and caucuses, Hillary Clinton is still highly likely to win her partys nomination. Up next for both candidates, wisconsin, with 96 delegates up for grabs. Erica . Kerry sanders for us this morning, thanks. Chuck todd is nbcs political director and also, of course, moderator of meet the press. Chuck, good morning to you, sir. Good morning, craig. Happy easr not surprising he won those states, largely white, largely rural. But the margins by those the margins of the wins have some folks doing a double take this morning. Does he actually have a shot to catch Hillary Clinton and if not what is the argument for staying in the race for Bernie Sanders . Well, i can tell you this, it is going to take margins of victories like last night in those caucus states for Bernie Sanders to have a shot now at this nomination. You got to be able to win like a margin like that in a primary, craig. Not only are these caucus states largely white, largely homogenous, but in the caucus turnouts are largely more progressive. So it is much more fertile territory for sanders. I think what the Clinton Campaign hoped was that enthusiasm for sanders among the progressive wing of the party would start to dampen a little bit. That was not the case last night. I think now can he win wisconsin and win it by a substantial margin . Can he start winning primaries in a pennsylvania and new york . Thats what it is going tota not just winning a string winning a bunch of primaries in a row, but then convincing super delegates, most of whom who are with Hillary Clinton to switch to sanders. It is going to take a lot more winning for that to happen. Chuck, the terror attacks this week really gave the candidates an opportunity to talk about not only how there are counterterrorism ideas and efforts but to get a better sense of foreign policy. How do they all of all the candidates, how do they do this week in terms of how they handle that news, and how they told people they would handle it if it were them . I guess i thought this would be more of a week dominated by quote unquote, the commander in chief test and donald trump looked like he was on his way to failing that test this week. He had a disastrous interview with the Washington Post Editorial Board where his answers on National Security were so vague certain things. Then the brussels attack happened the next day. So all this is setting up and then everything changes. And there is part of a pattern here for trump. Just when it looks like hell be on the defensive, the subject somehow gets changed, sometimes he does it, sometimes it is done for him and he puts his opponent on the defensive. A week that should have been about a commander in chief test for the republican frontrunner became a story about ted cruzs personal life. It is a pattern trump has been successfully been able to make happen. You alluded to the charges of infidelity, candidates going after each others wives now. How does a post convention gop unify after this kind of stuff . Youre asking a question that none of us can figure out. I dont know. Because it is like if you take this nomination away from trump, youre going to have some 20 to 30 of the republican electorate weird happened behind the scenes taken away. Theyll sit out. If he gets the nomination, youll have more of the Republican Party that cant stomach the idea of supporting trump, even if the alternative is Hillary Clinton. No matter what, it feels like it is a recipe for Republican Party fracture. Maybe Hillary Clinton can unite the Republican Party the way donald trump is uniting the democratic party. But thats about their only hope. Chuck todd, always good to see you. Thanks again, sir. You got it. Well look for more later on meet the press when two of your guests will be senator Bernie Sanders and Ohio Governor john kasich. Turning to brussels, we learned overnight the news that so many feared. The identity of the two americans who were killed in tuesdays attack confirmed.

Reporter as he recovers from the burns, and the shrapnel, his parents are by his side. Strong spirit and he was able to calm the people around him, and help them and just kind of his character.

Anything you do in life, you need to sit back, you need to understand it well, know the safety equipment, and all the factors behind it, and if you do things wisely in life, go for it, have fun. Reporter and fun is exactly what shes having. Especially with her fans. Here shes a rock star. It is so amazing to have young girls come up to me and know that theyre looking out for me. Even if they want to be a girlie girl, they can still work on trucks or do whatever they want to do and be themselves while theyre doing it. Reporter and it is not just kids who love rosalee.

Kathleen im Kathleen Matthews and i approve this message. Back on this sunday morning with a story of a mom who moved her family from washington, d. C. To brussels nine months ago. She said she hoped the move would be an escape from the political hysteria and gun violence in the u. S. But her world was turned upside down this past tuesday when bombs started going off in her adopted hometown. We thought it would be great to come and give language. We decided to put them in a local belgium school. And for me it also was a way to get away from some of the anxiety that i felt as a parent in america. We knew there were terrorism connections in brussels, but didnt feel like brussels was going to be as dangerous as it has turned out. Now it feels like were living in a war zone at times or at least living in a society under threat. On tuesday morning, i was at my desk, working, in my house and i work overlooking my childrens school, which is very close, less than 100 yards away. And i got a text from a friend that said, holy cow, there has been an explosion at the airport. About half an hour or so late, i got another text from a friend saying did you hear about the explosion on the metro. And that was when i really felt panicked because i realized then they were in a multistage attack that l could think of is what is going to happen next . And how about my children . I had just threw on what i could find, and didnt even put a coat on, and i ran out to the childrens school. And i went in and i found my daughter and my son and i just said, we have to go. And i had their hands really tight and started walking as fast as i could home and i explained to them there had been, you know, an attack and my son said, is this like paris . And i said, yes. And then he said, are we on lockdown again . And i said, yes. And what was amazing was that he took this in, he didnt seem particularly frightened, he just he understood he was used to this and that was one of the things that made me feel sad is that he had become this had become part of our life. Ive done things that i never expected to have to do here in europe, talk about making sure you know where the exits ground. I think there is a universal feeling among parents who come here from america that this has become a very different experience than they imagined. Uncomfortable new normal there. You just got back from spending a week in brussels, back less than 24 hours. What struck you . Funny, i was in paris after the attacks too and it was a much different feeling. We saw these memorials emerge, so there is a place where we showed pictures of it and we can show you here, these are the early memorials on wednesday. Just about 24 hours after the attacks and initially it sort of felt to us like it would be where people came together in paris, but it had a different feeling. There was there were a lot of people coming together. There were constantly people there. But i think the things that were different, people sort of expected this. Right. My sister lives in paris and said to me this is harder for me than paris because it feels much more real. And i feel like it can now happen anytime. Wew happening. You saw people coming together, but the fact you couldnt get that close to some of the sites too made it feel a little different in the city. In paris, we were right at the bataclan, right outside the cafes where terrorists had come by and killed people and you couldnt get to the airport for days. And it took them a long time to start to be able to identify people and we didnt have all those stories right away. I think that changes the mood a little bit. And we hear a lot when we talk with terror analysts about how things are divided in belgium and all these layers of investigative bodies and Law Enforcement and how that can really hinder things and that was a big topic of discussion. But i will say the other thing that struck me, people are so kind and it is one of the most beautiful cities ive ever been to, never been to brussels before and one thing that really always kind of makes you feel a little bit better, the first day we got there, we went to our location and there was a little kid running around a pond and you see think you got to have faith there is Something Else out there.

Storm team 4 meteorologist tom kierein is tracking some showers moving into our t tom, good morning. Good morning. Thankfully for rain threatening us yet. Looks like that may not arrive perhaps until this sunday evening between now and then, a lot of clouds around. Here is a live view from the city camera.
