How are you holding up . Reporter were doing okay. My greatest concern is about the news team and theyre doing a marvel louse job of holding it together doing the regular broadcast. Choking back some emotion but doing what needs to be done. The only thing that is helping us is that this is our job. This is what we do. We cover the news. Its about two lives lost that were a part of this family. Two people who loved this job and loved their fiance and boyfriend immensely, and two of us died yesterday in this business, and we feel a sense of duty to share their lives and celebrate their lives.

One of the most disturbing aspects of this as it was unfolding we learned that he had actually video taped this encounter and was posting on social media. Chris, were you aware that was happening, god forbid, did you see it . No. No. He was obviously in a state of mind that was not reasonable or rational rational. For me to speculation on the motivation to why does a disservice to alison and adam. I think what were starting to see is continued boldness from people who want to commit murders in cold blood for notoriety, and he did it to my sweet alison. And he did it to adam and i just i have no words for him. I have no thoughts for him. My thoughts are of alison and this book that she made for us for our six monthve she said we were the cutest newsiest, prettiest couple ever. And we are. Thats what my attention today.

Owen labrie appeared calm presenting himself as a high achieving soccer captain who plans to attend harvard and become a minister. At one point, his accuser left the courtroom in tears. Reporter this morning closing arguments after 19yearold owen labrie took the stand as the defenses only witness. Was there any indication whatsoever that the point [ expletive ] did not want you to take her pants off . No. Did she say anything . No. Reporter labrie said the encounter last year we, a auyearold freshman who were not identifying was consensual and included kissing but no intercourse. It would have been a good m reporter prosecutors argued he planned this for month s s at his pre school to see who could score the most girls. H i was excited to see her. Ediancause you wanted to hae sex with her . No. You were excited to see her because you wanted to slay her . I was waiting to see how the night went. Reporter labrie acknowledged he later deleted 119 facebook messages. He told the friend he used every trick in the book to hav sex with the girl. Labrie said that comment and others were crude jokes.

Before we get into the specificsc you w ie mentioning its how he came across to the jurors the overall demeanor. How did he do on the stand . He a good demeanor. He was calm, he answered the questions and straightfoiward. I think some of his awswers ained. We talked about the moment o devine inspiration. He was about to have consent sual sex but then he stopped. He paints himself as a strength. His emails show therwise for months he was pursuing her and was bragging about wutt he did and the next day hope asked if she was on the pill. On the other hand in the days following the encounter we learned in court yesterday tha labrie sent theleccuser a couple of different messages stating that they didnt have sex. It doesnt sound like she disputed it or wrote back and said, yes, we did. Thats going to be a problem for her. It is. This is a nasty case because on both sides, the girl aed the boys sidejehere are emails and messages inconsistent with their position in court now. Labrie admitted he lied when he was bragging to his friends he had sex with the alleged victim. Was that convincing on the stand that he said, hey, im just a teen kid. A guy bragging to his buddies about having sex but didnt do it. It might be to a predominantly male jury. The prosecutor said you lie easily dont you, you lie when you have a problem. Thats something they could also believe. The accuser was in court for the testim y, which can be unusual for Something Like this. She left at one point in tears. Thats something the jury is going to notice take it into account . S wahes been very emo onal ththroughout the case. While shes on the stand, during at her testimony. I dont know thats going to help her. I think ultimately i think its going to come down to the emails and the dna evidence. All right lisa bloom, well be watching the next few days. Thank u soatuch.

To check out how they recruit we went overcover. Our young producer made with a top salesman with vemma. What are the opportunities available for me . The goal is about 4,000 a month. 4,000 a month . Sounds incredible but documents show less than 1 of the salespeople made that. Then he explained how aspects of the business work.

As for peyton car , vemma said the accusations are not true but sorry to hear hes not successful. Stop entiez ce ing the college kids. Reporter they are hoping to collect money to pay back the victims. We reached out to vemma for comment and never heard back.

You can see bands of heavy rain coming across san juan, puerto rico, its going to get worse as the system gets closer. Right now its over guadeloupe. Hour. Hour.

Then we get into the warm over the bahamas and it will start to strengthen and well continue to track the path as it gets closer to florida by monday on into al, nothing but good news for us. Look at these temperatures. 69 degrees in central park right now. 64 in mutton town. 65 in parsippany. 64 in wayne and 66 in ramsey. It looks like as we head through the morning well see temperatures relatively uniform. A little cooler to the west and north, but todays high, 82 degrees. Lots of sunshine out there. 79 at the noontime hour, and the next seven days look phenomenal. Increased humidity through the weekend and rain on tuesday. Thats your latest weather. Al, thank you. All this week on the summer of secrets weve been putting marriage in the spotlight. Thats right. According to research the institution experienced a bit of a decline. Half of what are the keys to a successful relationship . This morning happy couples are sharing their secrets. We were married september 5th, 2005. It was a beautiful day. We got married in roxbury, new york in a barn on act 15, 2015. We got married in chicago august 26, 2000. We were married in november 18, 1949. Even though we were very young, we knew it was right. About two years into our marriage, we decided to start a blog called black and married with kids. The number one question we get is how in the world do you Work Together . We do everything as a team. Were a team at work but also at home. You know, with raising the kids. So team work has been instrumental in our marriage. We think that stronger families lead to stronger communities and stronger communities lead to a stronger country. The Supreme Court decision meant that i could go home to my family and say this is my husband. It was just a recognition of something that we consider sacred. Having it be recognized to everyone throughout the country it just makes you feel on the inside that youre equal and that youre important. I dont think theres any difference between gay marriage and straight marriage. Its just two people who love each other and are going through life together. Marriage is marriage and love is love. George and i have three amazing kids. The truth is, though, having children changes everything. We decided to start taking vacations without the kids because we knew almost immediately that it was important for us to stay connected. The minimum we go away is three weekends a year. The place doesnt matter. Its about being together. Its about being exclusively together. We moved 27 times in our marriage. We started out in oklahoma. We lived in england. We lived in houston. If anything it made it much stronger. I love to hold his hand. We always reach out to one another. Its very much a sign of or a sign. We stayed in love and so it was just worked for us. Luckily were celebrating 15 years of marriage this month. Were going to be were celebrating 19 years together. I think its working. I think thats one of our secrets. This september it will be 10 years. The greatest thing we can do is leave an example and legacy for our children. They can say i grew up in a home and i know what love looks like. October. I think the secret to our marriage is to be honest and laugh whenever we can and spend time with each other. Its a journey and you get to every day. Weve been married 67 years. Weve gotten richer because of our experiences and because of our children and grandchildren and our great grandchildren. The secret to my happy marriage is my husband. Were very sincere in our love. I only wish it for everyone to have this kind of love. Oh how sweet is that couple . Oh, my gosh oh lessons for all of us in that marriage. Yeah. Any secrets for you and mike . Make the bed every day. [ laughter ] how about you and christina . You have one of my favorite marriages. Christina has a rule, no keeping score. I did this now do you that. Trust each other and respect each other and you dont have to keep score. You and debra . Try not to go bed angry. Dylan, lets head to you. Thanks.

S to the special series fuel for School Getting your family ready for the new school year. If you want your kids to succeed in the classroom you have to give them a great base. Stefanie is here with great creative ideaig good morning. I told you this is my wheel house. Ive got a can kirnt gardener and third grad. We have tips to keep everybody when it comes to study spaces. U want to set it up rem necessary end of their classroom. Think bright, bold colors. Set things up in zones. We have a reading zone, a crafting zone, and art gallery for them. With the reading zone, books are way more entizing to kids when they can see the covers. Bser them on a ledge like this with a comfy chair nearby. Story time can happen naturally. Like a bookstore. Yerh. With crafting you want to make the furniture fit their size. Peeling off stickers that will help them as they learn to grow. It looks very familiar in our house. Lets move on to a big category. High school. Yes. In second grade homework ramps up. Instead of stimulate them, you want to help them focus. Keep it very neutral, calm, and stream lined. Ep the space relatively clear and lifted everything on a peg board. One of my favorite tips to avoid the distractions of picking out a pen. You never consider them a distractions. But if you give them the same color of pens that wont happen. The colors are gone. You want to keep it neutral. The focus is on the home run work. The task light will provide a spotlight. You have to get them to sit still for a few minutes. Lets move on to college. When it comes to collegeaged kids, really there a few rules you can break from the younger er er ones. Music may stimulate the brain. Set up a wireless speaker, and then we like to saylaeep it old school. Write your to do list on a pad of paper rather than the phone. The phone will provide the distractions of your twitter and instagram and things like that. Offer up things that make you happy and excited. So a family photograph or, you know, poster of something you really enjoy. My favorite simple tip is use a timer like this. An analog timer. Say you want to write an outline in 20 minutes. Set that timer and every time you look up, itll show you how much time is left. I have to say this might be wishful thinking. Ive never seen a college desk look like this. Start out like this and well see how long it lasts. You are missing the tapestry and black lights. For more ways to organize your childs study space head to today. Com parents. Coming up next a controversy surrounding the release of the t new book of the wildly popular Dragon Tattoo series. First, this is today on nbc. Sfx noise of fans roger roger x crowd cheering sfx crowd cheering sfx crowd cheering sfx crowd cheering my name is amandutand i smoked while i was pregnant. My baby was born two months early and weighed only three pounds. This is the view i had of her in the nicu. My tip to you is speak into the opening so your baby can hear you better. You can quit. Talk with your doctor. For more help call 1866nyquits were back at t38 where the new series. The book sold more than 80 million copies. Book number four is called the girl in the spiders web. It came out in europe today. Greeted by long lines, great reviews, and controversy. Keir simmons has the story. Repor mi ions of folks will recognize these books. Here is he question, what would you think if the new boo was not written by the same author . Would you stim ll read it . That question generated us is seshnse and drama and a family feud over the publication. Heroin. Im the guy you know better than my closest friends. They take. On a new enemy righting wrongs, exposing the evil. This time her following is americas own National Security agency. And perhaps the biggest twist of all, the girl in the spiders web was not written by Stieg Larsson but instead by david hand picked. When i was thinking about the book we had the snowden scandal. So i thought we needed her. She is hacking . And she does it in a brilliant way then they will come after her. You can bet they will. Yeah. Exactly. The plot is is released in controversy. Stieg larsson died ten years ago, months before his books were published. He never knew his own success. Ava was larssons partner for more than 20 years. He left no will and hissest state estate generated a family feud. Stiegs brother and father run the estate. Is the story the kind of story you think your brother and your son would have wanted to wrrte . If hes okay with it and im okay with it. What is the problem . Gabrielson opposes any books without stieg. How do you feel about the longterm partner the way she said she doesnt want the book to be published . We have invited to speak about this but she didnt want to speak with us. Security around the book has been called tt ring of steel. So closely guarded. He couldnt use the internet. The irony is not lost on the authority. I was living in the same words i was writing about, you know. I wrote about the words, i mean, watching us and hacking us. Then i was, you know, writing my book on unconnected computer and we were using code words and we didnt email anything. I asked david to give me a tour of the stockholm neighborhood hoping for a few more clues. What happens here . I cant tell you too much. I think maybe theres a bad guy here somewhere. Yeah. The traffic light means more than you could imagine. Its something with the traffic light, actually. Tell me more. No i will not. Even fewer answers just down the street and a word of warning, its amazing, really, that so many bad things happened here in a place that seems so peaceful. We yeah. Yeah. But thats quite normal in ience fiction. You f d the peaceful places and you imagine the horror coming, you know, from the shadow or the underground. I feel pretty relaxed here pretty and calm and i shouldnt be looking over my shoulder . Maybe. People are watching. He told me what he was terrified of is taking on the assignment. He has such big shoes to fill. This morning the reviews look good. We asked Stieg Larssons girlfriend for a comment about the book. She said if you really set out to debase the soul of an author, this is what you do. If you really care about books, write them yourself or find writers who do. That is stunning. It makes you want to buy the book to figure out whose side youre on. An open wound, obviously. The controversy will not hurt book sales, either. It gets people interested. Thats right. Some of the money is going do to a foundation for Stieg Larsson. Fascinating. Keir, good to have you here. Up next a speedy and spicy recipe to satisfy your family from actress and foodie ali larter.

Im willie along with tamron and dylan. Al had to leave a little bit early. One of the things were talking about is Alison Parker and camera man adam ward was shot yesterday during a live news conference. Adam was engaged to their producer. Her Wedding Dress arrived just yesterday. Earlier savannah interviewed jeff marks and alison parks boyfriend chris hurst. You were more than coworkers. You were in love. Everything ive heard sound like you were in the magical moment of your relationship where it was just starting out. Im sure that loss is crushing this morning. Youre absolutely right. Adam and melissas love was just as white hot as mine is for allison and hers was for me. I am happy to know that yesterday when i sent her off and basically i would come home from doing the 11 00 news and would make her breakfast and pack her a lunch and give her a kiss goodbye as she drove off in her car, and that was the last i saw her and it was a great morning, and before that we celebrated her birthday on the river in north carolina. Her favorite place on earth where she went white water and her parents. It was the best time of her life. You and an i were talking how impressive this group has been throughout this over the last 24 hours, particularly when you learn to the loss from chris express his love for the woman he loves. He was holding on to the photo album. I just thought after savannahs speak at that point. As chris said, this day is about alison. He wanted to focus on her and not the gunman. He wanted people to know who she was and is. I notice he spoke in the present. He said who she is now and thats why hes had the ability to do these interviews and really represent their love and who she was. And i think thats what resonating with so many people watching the story because you look at all of those pictures and she just seems like a ray of light. Even as she was doing the interview, she was excited about you know what she was talking about. She just has such an energy that comes right through the camera, and i think thats why everyone is understanding how when he said lets just celebrate her life. Both of their lives. Yeah. They were so happy. Absolutely. I was a reporter for 25 years and i used to work the overnight shift. You go in the at 3 00 a. M. And you report on the fair. You become close to the photographer because its the two of you and back then a scanner in the car. And you bond because you see it all overnight. You see the light from both of them and the partnership between them. We talk about family in a professional sense. But literally in this case. Melissa losing her fiance e. And chris lost the woman he was probably going to spend the rest of his life with. Alisons father spoke to fox news and megyn kelly. She was extremely happy and she loved this guy with all her heart, and thats the toughest thing for me. You know, everybody she touched loved her and she loved everybody back. Im going to do something whatever it takes to get Gun Legislation to shame people to shame legislators into doing something about closing loop hopes and background checks and making sure crazy people dont get guns. Thats alisons father speaking there. There was a third victim in this, the guest in that segment. I spoke to tim gardener the husband of chamber of commerce official vicki gardener. Tim said that vicki is recovering in the hospital and doctors told him they expect her to make a full recovery. Its going to take some time, but eventually they believe shell be okay. Wdbj also, this morning, held a moment of silence. You can see what a moving tribute there as they hold hands in memory of their colleagues. That was a moment i watched a little bit of their broadcast. To see them there Holding Hands just trying to put up a united front. Thats what its going to take. Including as you pointed out, the community there. We have been in small local news markets and everyone knows you. Theres no place you go. You go to the local little, you know, old country buffet and everybody sees you there and says hi. Theres a Community Spirit and yeah. This is not a pain that will go away any time soon. Yeah. Were thinking about our brothers and sisters in roanoke today. Absolutely. And obviously, a hard transition but to put a smile on peoples face this morning we have animals. Animals tend to do that. Imagine getting on a scale and weighing tons or ounces. There are a lot of different world. Here at the zoo he was so even the animals need to get weighed at the london zoo. Some are heavier than others. Its a whole process trying to get the camel. Do you just hold your dog if you weigh her . You dont weigh her . Shes like 3 pounds. My dog, believe it or not, dont mommy judge me or puppy judge. Malo is three pounds when she goes to the vet. 3. 4 pounds of pure terror and she has to be muzzled.

Well see what that looks like. If you remember our special valentines day ambush, the husband and wife, been together 30 years. They took the plunge and rekindled with hot new looks. Some are the best are the looks from friends and family. We have tissues on standby because you never know how or what people are going to think when they see themselves. Were also going to do a little where are they now and check in with some of our ambush ladies to see if they kept up the look on their own which is the hard part. Its not easy.
