Steve perry makes a surprise return to the page. So what took him so long . Today, tuesday, may 27th, 2014. From nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio ia in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a tuesday morning. If you have the red voice chair would you turn around for steve perry. Its nice to hear his voice again. He hadnt turned since 1991 with journey. Were going to find out what the event was that got him back on the stage. We want to get to our top story first. Malaysian authorities releasing new data. Tom castel lo has been following the investigation from the begin. They released 47 pages of raw data, page after page of number sequences. They all kind of look like that. It would take somebody with advanced knowledge of physics and Satellite Communications to confirm what they say are their conclusions, that flight 370 took a southerly course, likely flying to the indian ocean until the plane ran out of fuel and crashed. They released this information this morning. Many of the families have been saying for months they didnt trust the official version of events and they wanted to see proof. Now unofficial scientists, physicists and aviation experts are expected to go through all of the data try to replicate the findings. They said their satellites continued to receive a ping for at least six hours after it disappeared from radar. Using advanced math and physics they concluded that the plane likely took that southerly track. So far, not a single piece of wreckage has been found floating in the ocean. The u. S. Navys blue fin 21 has already searched a 155square file area of the sea floor. Nothing so far. The next phase involves 23,000 square miles that will take months. The Australian Safety board said they believe the plane did likely descend into the ocean after the plane ran out of fuel. The australians are taking the lead in the search for the plane but theres talk they may turn theearch over to a private company in. They say finding a private contractor could take months or longer. Theyre looking for a contractor to coordinate the underseas search area. The massive 23,000 square mile area, the contractor would likely have to bring together ships, cruise, expertise to look for the plane. It could cost tens of millions of dollars. The threat of severe is moving east today, one day after the powerful storms hammered the nations midsection. Al is following that. Were talking hail, flooding, rain, tornado. Look how much rain they picked up in texas, over five inches in luck bock, dallas, almost two inches of rain. They need the rain but not that much. Round two happens today. I work at the pizza hut down the road. Never seen it like that. The rain trapped drivers in their cars in flash floods. I would not go out anywhere looking like this. Pretty bad. Look at it all moving. O one storm near beasley, texas, a funnel cloud. In northwest north dakota three separate tornado were reported, including a large violent twister that destroyed eight trailer homes, nine reported injuries, one critical, eight people treated and released from the hospital overnight. While so many had to battle rain, flood waters and tornado, residents near denver topped off the weekend in snow capped mountains. The rain is going to be moving into louisiana. Rainfall amounts from two to five inches of rain over the next 72 hours and weve got the risk of Severe Weather again in central and southern texas on into louisiana and this may go into the weekend for these folks.

The defense says the military knows where bo ka has ran is keeping the girls but a rescue attempt could get the girls killed. Jim is at the pentagon with the latest. There appears to be more confusion than hope this morning. U. S. Military Officials Say if in fact the Nigerian Military does know where the missing school girls are being held hostage, it did not come from any u. S. Surveillance or intelligence. And again, if their claim is true, its believed that the Nigerian Government may be working on some kind of hostage swap with the militant group that kidnapped the girls, trade the school guard for prisoners currently being held in a Nigerian Government. No matter how this plays out, both u. S. And nigerian Officials Say any kind of military style rescue attempt is entirely out of the question. It would require a fullblown invasion not likely to succeed and could in fact put the lives of those nearly 300 school girls at risk. Natalie. Thank you, jim.
