[ screaming ] >> reporter: this cell phone video provided to nbc news by the lawyer for freddie gray shows the arrest. gray suffered a broken necklace sunday when police arrested and restrained him. the police have not given a cause for gray's injuries or specified why he was arrested, saying there is an investigation into the incident. >> get off me. >> reporter: the lawyer for gray's family said he died sunday from his injuries. >> what we know while in police exist -- custody while committing no crime, his spine was virtually severed. >> reporter: gray's arrest came after he ran from four officers on bicycles. korlg the, according to a police time line april 12th, officers called for a police van. gray was conscious and talking when he was put in the police vehicle. another video apparently shot by a witness shows the van stopped at a second location at 8:54. gray appears to be taken out of the vehicle, put on the pavement and confined by more restraints. at 9:24 police say they called paramedics to the precinct to take gray to the hospital. more than 100 protesters gatherediogather gathered outside a baltimore police station. at a news conference officials said they're committed to providing answers to what happened to freddie gray. >> what we do know we had officers in the area of a high-crime area known to have high narcotic incidents. we do not want to give out any information that's speculation and not fact based. >> reporter: the police officers involved have been placed on administrative leave. at the request of the police commissioner the justice department had been investigating complaints about police brutality in baltimore. matt and savannah? >> pete thank you very much. politics for 2016 presidential race is already intensifying. democratic frontrunner hillary clinton takes her campaign to new hampshire today. where republican rivals are already on the attack against her record. nbc's andrea mitchell is in new hampshire for us. good morning to you. >> reporter: hi good morning. hillary clinton comes here today trying to repeat her low key campaign style in iowa, but republicans got her first and they gave her a very unpleasant welcome. republicans who are here all weekend made clinton their prime target. >> starting to worry that when hillary clinton travels there's going to be need to be two planes. one for her and her entourage and one for her baggage. >> reporter: this morning, clinton's first chance to respond. she will comment on the economy, and plus meetings with local and state politicians as she did in iowa. photographed there by the campaign photographer. so far, few specifics fuelling criticism from republicans. >> she talks about meeting real voters but in the one instance when she walks in the store when there's a real opportunity in chipotle, she remains in silence and the disguise. >> reporter: it was an unscripted moment in 2008 that helped her connect to voters. >> i had so many opportunities from this country. i don't want to see us fall backwards. >> reporter: this time around, voters here are hoping to see more moments like that one. >> i think she's starting right this time. i think she should work on being more relaxed. more open. listening to people. >> reporter: new hampshire has been very friendly territory for both clintons in the past. and while republicans are barely organized here clinton has hired a full staff trying to show new hampshire voters she is taking nothing for granted. >> andrea mitchell in new hampshire, thank you. dana perino served as press secretary for george w. bush and she's co-host of "the five." she is the author of a new book pack called "and the good news is." good to see you. >> good to see you again. >> we have a little history. >> at the white house. >> we do. we'll talk about the new book but let's talk you think that's a blessing or a curse? >> when you started the show with andrea mitchell's segment, she was called the front runner. she's not the front runner. she's the only runner on the democratic side. a lot of benefits and challenges come with that. she is the only person all the republicans who are running, if they're trying to show a contrast, she is the only one to show a contrast against. >> we saw over the weekend a bunch of republican would-be candidates up in new hampshire taking their shots at hillary. is that the question question right now for republicans, who has the juice to take her on. >> i think for some republican voters, yes, but there's a lot of different republican voters. and they're all across the country. they're wanting to know a couple things. some people might say, who can win, but also, who's going to represent me well? who's going to get the country back on track? the country is about 75% or so, according to some polls, think that the country is on the wrong track. they're wanting to hear, what are the policies and positions you'll have? plus, remember, every presidential election is about character, trust, and honesty. i do think one of the reasons hillary clinton decided to go forward in april and announce her candidacy is they saw her numbers in that key area slipping in key states like ohio, florida, colorado, and iowa. >> you do have a division in the republican party, though, shorthanded as the establishment side of the party versus the conservative side of the party. it's a conservative article of faith right now. ted cruz is one who's a proponent of this argument that the reason republicans aren't winning national elections is because they do not nominate a candidate who's conservative enough. do you agree? >> that's how he's going to define himself. i'm excited about, at this time, as an observer, i'm not part of a campaign. that's great and new for me. looking across the field, i think the field in 2016 is a lot stronger than it was in 2012. there are stark differences and contrasts. there are men of substance. there's also carly fiorina. >> you worked for former president george w. bush. his brother looks to be gearing up for a race. as you well know, in 2008, the last bush name would have been a nonstarter. do you think people's views have softened about the bush presidency? >> maybe for some in a little way because time heals a little bit. a bush/clinton race in 2016 would give everyone flashbacks. >> in a good way? >> for some. but not necessarily all. i think that jeb bush knows that he goes into this with eyes wide open. he understands his name i.d. is both a benefit and a drawback. so he has a lot of hurdles he's going to have to clear. if he can clear those and earn people's trust, then he could go the distance. >> the book is about you and your unlikely rise. sort of small-town roots all the way to the podium at the white house. it's called "and the good news is." so what's the good news about politics right now? >> i think when people read this book, you'll actually end up with a warmer feeling about washington and public service because, for one, i get asked all the time, how did somebody like you end up in a place like that? i grew up in the west. i had no political connections. some people think that i either knew the bushes or the cheneys and that's how i got the job. that wasn't how it was. when you and i met and you were working for nbc and i was the deputy press secretary, i was quite happy being in that role. but then things happened. when tony snow moved on and unfortunately then later passed away after his battle with cancer, i just happened to be the right press secretary at the right time. now at fox news, it's a new career transition for me, where for the first time in my life, i'm speaking for myself. i don't speak for anybody else. so i wrote this book to try to get people an understanding that you don't have to have gone to an ivy league school or grown up in a ritzy town in order to advise the president of the united states. >> you've been there in the halls of power. great to see you again and have you here. >> appreciate you having me. >> and we'll send it over to natalie with the other top stories of the morning, including overnight developments on a tragic story overseas. >> good morning, everyone. hundreds are feared dead after a migrant boat capsized this weekend in the mediterranean sea just south of italy. nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel is in italy with the latest. richard, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. from sicily, this is where survivors are supposed to be brought, but so far most of them aren't here. and in fact, only a few dozen survivors have been pulled out of the water so far, along with a few dozen bodies. hundreds are feared dead. so far, just a few dozen bodies have been recovered from the southern mediterranean. but there may be hundreds more. an italian prosecutor told nbc news a survivor from bangladesh told him 950 migrants were packed on to a wooden fishing boat headed for europe. the maltese prime minister said 200 of them were women, 50 children. survivors claim hundreds of the migrants were locked below deck when the boat capsized. an italian border police official suggested their weight could have quickly dragged the ship to the seabed. europe has experienced a migrant crisis. warmer weather has brought an increased number of ships. italy rescued 8,500 migrants just this weekend. and even before this latest tragedy, 900 had died this year, ten times as many as in the same period last year. why? libya, mostly. this is a migration center in libya. nobody here wants to stay. they all want to make their way to europe. and now they can at least try. after the fall of ka da if i, libya has become lawless. its

>> come on. i'm amazing. no, i have a little cameo. it's cool. >> that's great. good stuff. >> up next, new spin on spinsters. the woman who wants to celebrate the single life and, yes that, works. first this is "today" on nbc. we are back now. it's 8:38 with an unprecedented shift in 2014 for the first time singles outnumbered married people in the u.s. kate bullock wrote about it in the atlantic. she's now following that up with a book called "spinster." first we asked a few women what the term spinster means to them. >> when i hear the term spinster i think of the little old lady who's alone living in that house at the end of the street with 50 cats and she's by herself and lonely and sad. she's a little scary. >> i think a woman who's independent and she doesn't need a man to survive. >> when i was growing up the image of spinster i had was a school teacher from little house on the prairie in a black victorian dress who was not always happy and sometimes bitter with her loss in life. >> kate bullock, good morning to you. starting a conversation again. spinster is not a word as we just saw that most people associate with positive things. are you trying to kind of reclaim it in this book? >> i am. i think that spinster is an excellent way to broadcast our conflicted attitudes around women. and a way to think about how we can rethink the single woman experience. >> this book takes your column in a next step. i guess it sort of talks about a single life you choose. >> exactly. i wanted to show the state many women avoid of being alone and childless that many women have thrived past and present. amazing things can happen when people are alone. >> but there's so much pressure to pursue that course. you write it in the book. whom to marry and when will it happen those two questions define every woman's existence and govern her until the answers are even nobody and never. some women can say maybe i'll have relationships, maybe i just won't get married. >> i think society is catching up. it's hard to bring attitudes up to date with demographic shifts. it always takes awhile where we still have the attitudes that our parents and grandparents dealt with. we were dealing with a different reality on the ground. but right now we have more unmarried women than ever been. it's changing the conversation. >> there's a distinction to be made there. is this a question of women saying i don't want to be in any relationship or that i don't want to be married? >> it's a lot of things. i've only talked to a handful of people who say i never want to get married. that's not for me. mostly it's about women who are really excited about their careers or their educational pursuits and keep pushing marriage off but still feel like something's wrong with them. or feel like they're alone in that decision. >> and generationally it also must make a real difference. >> yes. absolutely. i see that women of my generation who they're the ones who -- it's been -- we tend to grow up thinking we'll get married some day because that's what people do. then we hit our mid-30s and go through this paradigm shift like wait a minute i love my life. >> i have to say, you have a part in the book where you're talking about walking down the street in the middle of the night eating a big mac going home. i was like i remember those days. those were good days. by the way we asked folks to weigh in in the orange room and asked them whether or not they thought being married was easier than being single. and 59% said no. actually that being single was harder. wait. is it easier for a woman to be married than single? no. 59%. it's a good decision to have and one that will continue online. >> thanks so much. coming up the joys and stresses of getting into college. we're with students as they learn the big news. but first this is "today" on 8:45. we're back now with something you might be experiencing if you have a high school senior in the family 37. >> yes. the exhilarating anxiety inducing time which is the college admissions season. jenna is back with that story. >> when we applied it was all about the envelope. now decisions are sent by e-mail. but what hasn't changed, the nerve-racking process. and for the last four months we followed along with a group of students from one new york city school as they applied. >> let's go seniors let's go! >> reporter: it's an annual tradition in washington heights. a trip to the post office to send off college applications. an emotional journey for many of these students. like 17-year-old erica cabrera who has big dreams. when you were younger how'd your parents talk about college to you? >> since i was younger, my mom always told me i don't want you to be like me. she works at a gasoline station. she wakes up at 5:00 in e the morning and she goes off to work. that was the motivation for me my mother telling me to go to college. >> reporter: erica attends wheels where most are first generation college applicants. she rides the subway every day for over an hour each way hoping her dedication will pay off with acceptance to her dream school. >> i couldn't help it but to fall in love so hopefully i get accepted. >> reporter: i had classmate byron garcia also has big plans. >> what makes me nervous is not getting in into a college. the worst thing is getting a denial from both of them. >> reporter: wheels is a school that stresses education and not just abo getting in. >> being eligible for higher education and truly being ready are two different things. >> reporter: the founder of a group called blue engine sends mentors to work with students at schools like wheels. he calls it his army of peer mentors. >> the students and teachers in blue engine are working so closely to make sure what students have when they go they're going to have what they need launched into higher education. >> reporter: blue engine representatives tutors students helps with financial aid forms, and perhaps most important for all, they're there for the kids after they've graduated serving as a sounding board. with the help of blue engine mentors, three months after byron mailed in his application, he finds out. >> i got into university at buffalo, university at albany and wait listed at bart college. i'm planning to go to university at buffalo. >> reporter: now it's time for decisions and plans. on a journey that started with a symbolic three-block walk. getting parents teachers mentors, and a neighborhood a reason to celebrate. are you proud? >> yes. >> reporter: blue engine mentors so proud too. >> byron has come a long way. i'm just extremely happy that he's here. i love him to death and i'm so excited for hi >> reporter: wheels principal brett kimmel says it's a message of hope for the kids to follow. why is it so important we celebrate these kids applying to college. >> many of them will say i've been waiting for this for years. we saw in ninth grade the seniors do it and we were ready to do it. it becomes inspirational that way. >> reporter: a step towards the future. >> congratulations, class of 2015. >> reporter: and what about erica cabrera? >> touch my heart right now. >> reporter: on the day she checks the dartmouth website, her mom is by he. two shining stars leading the >> i must be hormonal too. i don't know. >> being pregnant and watching these amazing kids is so terrific. but erica is going to dartmouth, it was her first choice. she traveled almost an hour and a half one way to get to school because this school wheels is so terrific. all the support systems that got them to where they're going is incredible. >> follow them. keep following them find out how they do. >> that touched my heart. you touched our hearts. thank you. up next, the best of broadway. a live performance from the cast of "on the town" in our studio. but first this is "today" on >> announcer: the toyota concert series on "today" brought >> and we're back with the best of broadway. our week of live performances from the biggest shows on the great white way. and here is our lineup this week. today we've got "on the town" with music by the legendary leonard bernestein. then kristin chenoweth will be here tomorrow. and then "chicago" featuring brandy. tyne daly stars in "it shoulda been you." and then friday "something rotten." again, we're beginning with "on the town." it's the story of three sailors who encounter love in the big apple before shipping off to fight in world war ii. performing i can cook too. take it away. >> so what's the specialty of the hous ♪ ♪ oh i can cook too on top of the rest ♪ ♪ my seafood's the best in the town ♪ ♪ yeah i can cook too ♪ ♪ my fish can't be beat ♪ ♪ my sugar's the sweetest around ♪ ♪ i'm a man's ideal of a perfect meal ♪ ♪ right down to the demitasse ♪ ♪ i'm a pot of joy for a hungry boy ♪ ♪ baby i'm cooking with gas ♪ ♪ because i'm a gum drop a sweet lollipop ♪ ♪ a brook trout right out of the brook ♪ ♪ and what's more baby i cook ♪ >> sit down. sit down. ♪ some girls make magazine covers ♪ ♪ some girls keep house on a dime ♪ ♪ some girls make wonderful lovers ♪ ♪ but what a lucky find i'm ♪ ♪ i'd make a magazine cover ♪ ♪ i do keep house on a dime ♪ ♪ i make a wonderful lover ♪ ♪ i should be paid overtime ♪ ♪ because i can bake too on top of the lot ♪ ♪ my oven's the hottest you'll find ♪ ♪ yes i can roast too ♪ ♪ my chickens just ooze ♪ ♪ my gravy will lose you your mind ♪ ♪ i'm a brand new note on a table dhote ♪ ♪ but just try me a la carte ♪ ♪ with a single course you can choke a horse ♪ ♪ baby you won't know where to start ♪ ♪ oh i'm an hors d'oeuvre ♪ ♪ a jelly preserve ♪ ♪ not in the recipe book ♪ ♪ and what's more baby i can cook ♪ ♪ >> wonderful recovery. ♪ baby i'm cooking with gas ♪ ♪ because i'm a gum drop a sweet lollipop ♪ ♪ a brook trout right out of the brook ♪ ♪ and what's more baby i can -- what's more baby i can -- what's more baby i can cook ♪ >> alicia and jay from "on the town," thank you so much. >> thank you. >> i bet y great to have you. by the way, bread week. tomorrow we have cast of "on the 20th century." >> look who else is here. >> yeah. >> not me. >> ryan's joining us in the next hour. going to have some fun with him. he's getting comfortable around here. >> i know. you can do that thing where you start on your back a very good morning to you. it is 8:56. a happy ending in the disappearance of an 8-year-old boy in fairfield. we learned an alert resident discovered the boy two miles from home inside the same vehicle where he first fell asleep. the boy of sleeping in his family car before 5:00 a.m. when his mother went into the home. she came back out. the car was gone along with her son. when officers got the call and arrived at the scene, the boy of still in the car apparently still asleep. police have not located the car. we'll have another local news update in a half-hour. why do we do it?

>> we are. thursday we're back yeah. >> nice. okay. so there's your little tease for what's happening on thursday. you know what? something we've been talking about this morning did you see taylor swift's mother at the country music awards last night? last night the show, 2015 academy of country music awards. we've been talking a lot about taylor after she revealed her mother was battling cancer. we don't know what type of cancer she has. but we know she had a strong message last night. take a look at her beautiful speech. >> for many years i was her constant companion. and i witnessed a young girl with very few friends become a young woman with many learning to stand up for herself and the things she believes in. like many of you out there tonight with children of your own i am a very proud mom. >> and taylor swift, a very proud daughter there. i mean it was so sweet. the audience reaction, reaction on social media. you know, we don't often want to bring our parents into our world. we're so protective of them. and she shared her story her mother's struggle. her mother slept in the car and waited on her for auditions and was her best friend. now she's standing there with her mother somebody who will pull through this. and our prayers and thoughts are with them. >> i don't think there was a dry eye. adorable speech. you see that bond so close. here's an interesting op-ed that caught our eye. i think you probably all know what i'm talking about if you are a parent of young kids. the sarl hey kids look at me when we're talking. the author says when she shakes hands with young people, they have an aversion to looking at him in the eye. why is this? well, the theory is that kids obviously spending way too much time looking into their screens that they start to lose the ability to read non-verbal communication. things you start learning when you're an infant. you start mimicking what they do. but he says that kids as they're getting older all they're doing is staring at their screens. they're losing the ability to read people's non-verbal signals. and therefore are not having those -- the one-on-one interactions that you normally have. and according to the article i was reading, apparently the kaiser family foundation says the amount of time kids are spending on devices under the age of 8 tripled from five minutes a day in 2011 to fifteen minutes in 2013. and they say for teenagers, kids are spending on average seven and a half hours a day on their devices. seven that's more than they're sleeping in most cases. >> i mean it may very well be the devices, but it's also correction. you know i have three nieces and a nephew they're like my kids. we go everywhere together and when we are that he a restaurant, i make them look up and order their food. you can't just look -- i'm not going to order it for you. you want chicken nuggets, i'm not going to tell the waitress or server you have to look at them. >> can i text you, cameron, to get me chicken nuggets. >> order number 1 with or without hot sauce. >> that's a battle. >> this makes me feel like an old guy. those darn kids on their devices. >> but i'm sure your parent or someone around you said give a firm handshake. >> right. >> look a person in the eye. >> yeah. >> so i don't know. i mean i just think it's correcting the behavior that may not be as prominent when we were kids. >> it is. it's the way the kids relate to people is through their devices instead of face to face. >> how often do you hear kids even really having a real conversation? they'll be in the same room texting each other back and forth. >> that's what al says and other people, guess where they're learning it though? from parents. they keep their work phone on. >> not good role models. >> it's not that we've all become -- it's not being bad or good we've become tech obsessed. i look every day to see when my iwatch is going to be shipped. trust me, i'm, working on that. >> do we have a parenting app that will raise the kids? >> put a picture of the kids. >> we have a show called "super nani." >> bring her in. >> bring in things that are super. okay. >> gather around everyone you know. >> oh, no the gather around. >> grab whatever you have with you. so this kid got the surprise of a lifetime. do you know what a big deal it is to visit the zoo. >> yeah. >> going to the zoo. i'm so excited. so fun. i'm going to see the gorillas everything. >> is that what you do when you go to the zoo? >> i still do it at 199. well in omaha at henry dorley zoo, young lady cute girl thought it was a good idea to beat her chest at the gorilla. take a look at how that went. >> oh, man. whoa. >> full disclosure here. i'm kind of bummed because we didn't show the little girl. there she is, the little blondy running there. she was standing in front. she just tapped her chest ever so slightly. this silver back came out of nowhere. parents, children small dogs ran for the hills. even dad is like get out of the way. >> everybody out -- >> the glass broke. >> the glass broke. >> but she just -- we've all done something silly at the zoo, you make a face on the other side. she just barely tapped her little chest. she's like i don't know maybe 5 years old. this gorilla came out of nowhere. he never made eye contact. he never made contact. >>. >> boomer: >> do you think he felt threatened? >> that's what the assumption is. >> never going to the zoo again. >> i'm never beating my chest at the zoo. >> boom. >> you've got to go online. >> so fascinating. >> stunning. the central park zoo, love just sitting there staring at them. it's amazing. >> no eye contact. just don't beat your chest and don't do any crazy things in front of them. >> scary moments. >> terrible. well speaking of baseball -- >> you play baseball? >> do you play baseball? >> i'm getting really good at this. >> who's your team? >> you know i moved to new york. i've got to say yankees. >> yankees? >> what do your friends back home think? >> they're upset. they're all dodgers fans. the second inning of the padres game. jon lester saved a base hit. >> wow. >> snagged by lester. >> he could not get the ball out of his glove so he ended up taking his glove off and throwing it to the first baseman who got him out. >> does that count? >> it completely counts. >> is that a legal play? >> it's legal. as long as the ball is in the glove. >> how did it stay in the glove? >> a firm glove. >> wow. >> you massage the glove so that it's like -- >> brand-new glove that was not yet broken in. >> you would think it would spin over and the ball would come out. >> i don't know. >> we used to drive my mom's car over our baseball gloves to break them in. >> really? >> just so that didn't happen. >> oil it put the rubber band around it? >> yeah. yeah. i never pulled that one off. let's turn it over to dylan. she's in for al. check of the weather. hey, dylan. >> good morning, guys. we have a lot of rain out there especially moving through the new york city area out there. it will come in two rounds. the first one is moving through the northeast eventually into the boston area where the marathon is coming. we have the cold front back through western north carolina right now. that will trigger stronger storms especially as we go into this afternoon. that's what we have to watch out for later on today. the warm front moves in we have rain. we might get a break before the second round of storms moves in. these could potentially be severe especially down from philadelphia into southeastern parts of the country where we could end up with large hail. also some damaging wind gusts. we could also see perhaps up to 1 to 2 inches of rain so we do have to keep our eyes out in this area. no wide storm tornadoes. this will develop as we go into this afternoon and eveni 9:11. good morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren. temperatures are mild, cool enough for a jacket. we'll stay cooler than average even at 4:00 p.m. 63 in san francisco. around 71 in the north bay. low clouds will be clearing by 11:00 a.m. today. that's when you'll get your vitamin d and sunshine. today looks to be the sunniest and warmest day of the week. an unsettled pattern with the jet stream to the north. for us, a few chances of rain. wednesday and friday look best. d that's your latest forecast. back on over to you guys. >> thank you, dylan. >> one of the most exciting things over the weekend was to follow you on twitter. >> i ran in the more marathon. this was my favorite shot. >> yeah. this makes you a little queasy. >> that's you coming in to the finish. >> that's mye shooting this. >> where was the camera, on your forehead?
