>> we don't know who or what is responsible for pit that. >> researchers have developed sonic weaponry for years, and they cannot be certain the injuries were caused by that attack, and it could have been toxins and not an accostic device. an ominous development on both sides plunging the two countries back into a cold war. savannah? >> andrea mitchell with that story. thank you. let's take a look at what is happening around the country. you will see plenty of sunshine and above-average temperatures through the gulf and texas. we will look at a few showers up through the upper great lakes. mountain snows in the plains, and that fire threat making its way through much of california. we'll get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. good morning. it is calm in terms of the wind right now and we are seeing cooler temperatures. just a quick reminder, we expect to see that red flag warning kick in at 5:00 p.m. tonight. we are expecting gusts between 20, 30 and 40 miles per hour in the higher elevation areas for the overnight hours and early saturday morning. really, the highlighted areas, see low, relative humidity and a threat for the gusty conditions in the morning. and that is your latest weather. >> all right. mr. roker. thank you, al. coming up the just launched criminal investigations facing disgraced movie mogul harvey weinste weinstein. we'll talk about that with megyn kelly. the defender of roger goodell revealed. wait until you hear who was behind it. first, this is today on nbc. still the come, inside bruce springsteen's opening night. do you like the sound of free money?

>> absolutely. because in the law, you usually can't get in what we call prior evidence of bad acts unless you can show pattern. unless you can show pattern. all the women coming forward could be really helpful in case, you know, a case is brought. civilly is where, not just weinstein but the weinstein company have the most exposure. the problem for them is what are the women going to say in terms -- like, if you worked for the weinstein company you got fired if you didn't sleep with weinstein. one woman says he grabbed her years ago and suffered a bunch of emotional distress, that's hard to prove. >> or she said i didn't get opportunities, hard to prove. >> it's tough to prove that in a court of law. there is more exmoeposure than criminally. but i think the biggest problem is a business matter. their reputation has been ruined. everybody understands what he's been doing. you've got 30 women coming forward now. 30. i bet there will be more. that's how these things go once the flood gates open. >> the board insisted -- they were quote, shocked and dismayed. utter surprise is how they describe it. do you buy that? if this is such an open secret in hollywood as it seems to be? how could the corporate managers be completely clueclassleless f decades. >> good question. if they were clueless, why? why were you so clueless. where was your oversight? that's the purpose of the board. this is the guy running the company. we know they knew of at least four settlements. "the new york times" documents there were at least eight settlements. that's all we know about. that's what's been reported in the news. and as a practical matter it doesn't matter. harvey weinstein was a principle of the company. his knowing is knowledge by the company. and so, you know, if you're a woman who worked there and you claimed you'd were submitted to a hostile work environment you'll use all that stuff to come after them for the environment in which you were submerged. i do think what we have to ask ourselves as a society is not so much related to law, it's related to our morals. our principles. and how are you going to feel supporting this company, which, obviously, didn't have a major problem with these multiple settlements they saw. >> we're out of time, but thank you and we'll see you for megyn kelly today. >> let's go to al roker for a check of the weather. let's show you what's happening in florida. we're looking at a lot of wet weather and it will continue over the next several days. this weekend is going to see rounds and rounds of showers and storms. some of these downpours, occasional lightning. gusty winds. some areas two to three inches of rain. it's now a hurricane ophelia, 615 miles southwest of the azores. 105 miles per hour. it's moving east northeast. may affect ireland by tuesday. but we have now had ten hurricanes in a row. last time that happened was good morning. it is 48 degrees outside right now in san jose. air quality will remain a concern for the next several days. at the moment, north bay dealing with dangerous air quality. east bay peninsula and down along the coast, dealing with unhealthy air-conditions. spare the air alert remains in place. we can expect to keep that. remember, we have a red flag warn thag will kick in at 5:00 p.m. expecting gusting conditions overnight. this sunday night football weather is brought to you by verizon. the best network and the best unlimited. everybody may be talking about baseball, but that's until sunday. because that's when we all start talking about sunday night football night in america. that's right. it's a good one. well, half a good one. we've got the giants -- i think they're still playing football -- they're coming in to take on the broncos. sports authority field, denver, colorado. clear, mild, much like their offense. 54 degrees on sunday night football night in america. coverage begins here on nbc. >> we hurt the ones we love? >> it's okay. >> plenty more to come, including how to figure out your personality type and knowing why the answer can make your life a little bit better. dylan is in the orange room with a surprising controversy over a twitter account that defends the nfl commissioner. could all that junk in your house actually be hidden treasures worth thousands? we'll show you how to cash in. what bruce springsteen what bruce springsteen revealed during his posting hashtag yeehaw. hashtag i have no signal and i still can't post out here. woah! look out, coming through. hey thomas. howdy there joy. see joy's got the new iphone with verizon unlimited. you bet i do. best phone, best network. america's largest, most reliable 4g lte network. she can post out here like she does in the city. hey twelve likes. what? likes won't get you didly around these parts. yaaw!

>> they are people who readily meet expectations from others and also their expectations for themselves. they meet the work deadline and keep the new year's resolution without much fuss. they tend to be self-directed. they don't need a lot of separation. they love to do lists and priorities. but the strengths can become weaknesses. sometimes they can seem rigid because they want to stick to their schedule. they can be a little impatient with other people when they're not following through. >> who is a famous upholder? >> taylor swift. >> all right. the next category, questioners. >> yes. >> i'm a questioner, although i question whether i am a questioner. >> you're a questioner. question the validity of the framework. questioners turn everything into an inner expectation. they do everything they think makes sense. they hate any arbitrary or irrational. if something comes to them from the outside and it's not justified they will refuse. >> who is a famous questioner? >> steve jobs. >> what strategy should you use? >> they respond very well to efficiency, but they can sometimes suffer from analysis paralysis. that's where they want perfect information before they move forward. so they can stall out because they're like i'm going to be a little bit more. >> i can relate to that. >> they do better when they have the strategy of clarity. >> obligers. tell me about the obliger. >> it's the biggest category for both men and women. >> most people are obligers. >> it's the biggest one. and they readily meet outer expectation but struggle to meet inner expectations. >> are these the pleasers? >> they sometimes look like pleasers, they don't always do it for pleasing, it's more that it's an outer expectation. it's about meeting the expe expectation that's coming to them from other people. expectations from others can be met, commitments to my self, those i can let side. >> who is a famous abliobliger?
