"savannah in sydney" with matt lauer live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. and savannah guthrie live from sydney, australia. and we welcome you to a special edition, split edition of "today" on a monday morning. savannah is in the land down under, sydney, australia, where it all began. savannah, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i should say good evening. it's 9:00 at night here in sydney. we have a beautiful evening. not a bad view, right? you saw it as the show opened. you see the magnificent sydney harbor bridge, the largest harbor in the world. we also have the famous opera house all lit up. oh, and look there, matt. a giant banner as this wonderful country welcomes me back. i always dreamed of coming back, and i want you to know we had a great visit. we visited the hospital, the very room where i was born. and i asked about that banner. it's about 100 feet. it can be folded up, rolled up. i'm going to put it in my suitcase. a little souvenir. >> i want to know how you got it in the overhead compartment on the way over there. >> oh, you. >> we'll talk to you in a little while. let's begin with our top story, breaking news out of texas. overnight two gunmen killed following a shootout outside a controversial event showcasing drawings of the prophet muhammad. this morning officials are looking into reports of a possible, possible link to isis. nbc's jacob rascon's in garland, texas. jacob, what's the latest? >> reporter: matt, good morning. it was a long night in garland, texas. and right now a team of fbi agents is still on the scene from overnight. about 50 yards behind me, combing through what is left of the gunmen's car. we now know they were roommates living in phoenix. there are s.w.a.t. and fbi teams on the scene there as well. the investigation is really only just beginning. >> inaugural muhammad art exhibition. >> reporter: organizers call it had a free speech event. $10,000 for the best cartoon depicting the muslim prophet muhammad. some 200 people in attendance and a heavy police presence. just as the event was wrapping up, two men opened fire on the building, shooting unarmed security officer bruce joyner in the ankle. police fired back, killing both attackers. >> police officers that were nearby saw what was happening and engaged the two men and shot and killed them there at the scene. >> reporter: the moment police alerted the crowd captured on video. >> we have independent law. >> who? >> shots have been fired. >> okay, shots just got fired. >> we don't know that for a fact. >> reporter: while outside witnesses say they heard the shots. >> we heard a bunch of popping. we thought it was fireworks. my wife's, like, no, that's gunshots. >> reporter: police rushed attendees inside and evacuated surrounding businesses. >> a police officer's been shot. two suspects have been shot. possibly have explosives on them, okay? >> reporter: the bomb squad searched the gunmen's car for explosives as helicopters watched from above. the fbi assisting local police. a tweet sent out 20 minutes before the shooting with the #texasattack might have been a warning, though that's unconfirmed. according to reports, the same account which has since been suspended previously posted a series of messages supporting islamic ex-tremeism including isis. the controversial event sponsored by the american freedom defense initiative. its president writing after the attack, quote, this is war. this is a war on free speech. the motive and religion of the gunmen is still not known for sure. and a local prominent muslim leader tweeted right after the attack, quote, the community of muslims stayed away from this. this seems like a lone wolf attack, exactly what we did not want to happen. matt? >> jacob rascon, thank you very much. as a former senior fbi official, nbc news analyst don ba barelli has inside. good morning. >> good morning. >> we don't know who they are yet. that tweet, quote, texas attack did come out 20 minutes beforehand. now we know #texasattack is gaining attraction and popularity among supporters of isis online. what jumps out at you? >> well, i would want to know how much ahead of time did that hashtag start getting traction? is it all after the shooting so isis is trying to claim credit after the attack? or was there some information out there online that might have given investigators some lead as to, you know, an attack was nent. >> one of the things that jumps at me, these guys opened fire on the building where this event was taking place. a security guard was injured in the leg. we're happy about that. but i go back to "charlie hebdo" back in january, and those two gunmen carried out their attack on those offices with military precision. they had a high level of training. we don't think that's the case here. >> it doesn't appear so. i mean, i remember from the "charlie hebdo" attack, those guys moved tactically. they reloaded weapons. they, in my opinion, did some reconnaissance of the target. this seems to be a bit more ad hoc, if you will, maybe not as much planning and the fact that it was over in 15 seconds, i think, speaks to the level of competency. >> because of the controversial nature of this event where it was basically a contest, people were drawing cartoons of the prophet muhammad for prize money, police presence was heavy. would the counterterrorism community have been playing close attention to this as well? >> absolutely. i mean, the keynote speaker was on an al qaeda hit list. and in light of what happened in copenhagen and in paris, the fbi, the local police would have a presence. they would be canvassing sources for any information before the event to try to figure out if something might be imminent -- >> and monitoring any threats. >> -- monitoring any threats and clearly the increased police presence was warranted and the actions appear to be, you know, right on point. in this situation. >> don borelli, thank you very much. appreciate it. meantime, turning to politics. and this is a big and this is a big day in the next presidential race. the gop field getting even bigger. former hewlett-packard ceo carly fiorina declaring her candidacy just this morning with a video on her campaign website. and it featured a familiar face, hillary clinton. >> i'm running for president. >> our founders never intended us to have a professional political class. they believed that citizens and leaders needed to step forward. we know the only way to reimagine our government is to reimagine who is leading it. >> fiorina served as a campaign surrogate for john mccain during his 2008 presidential race. very familiar face. >> some other news in that area, also entering the republican race today, famed neurosurgeon dr. ben carson. he is the first african-american to join the 2016 field. he's never held public office, but he did rise to conservative prominence after criticizing president obama's health care policies at an event in 2013 with the president just a few feet away. the 63-year-old expected to formally announce his candidacy in his hometown of detroit a little bit later today. now, of course, there's still big names like jeb bush and chris christie who have yet to officially throw their hats in the ring as well. on the democratic side, it's all about hillary clinton. she's been drawing criticism over certain donations to her family's charitable foundation. and in an nbc news exclusive, bill clinton is answering those critics. nbc's cynthia mcfadden went one on one with the former president. cynthia, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning from nairobi, matt. as hillary clinton's campaign for the white house intensifies, so does the criticism of the foundation that bears her name and that of her husband and her daughter. she stepped down from a role at the foundation when she announced she was running, but some have questioned whether her independence was compromised by the foundation's large foreign donors. i've come to africa to see the work of the foundation and to talk to bill clinton about the criticism. former president bill clinton is making no apologies as he tours some of the african programs his foundation has raised billions to help fund. >> i don't think there's anything sinister in trying to get wealthy people in countries that are seriously involved in development to spend their money wisely in a way that helps poor people and lifts them up. i don't think there's anything bad with that. i think it's good. >> reporter: but his wife's run for president has triggered a new level of scrutiny and criticism. >> there's been a very deliberate attempt to take the foundation down. and there is almost no new fact that's known now that wasn't known when she ran for president the first time. >> reporter: he tells me 90% of the donors give $100 or less. but it's who's giving the big money that's causing the headache. over half of the donors giving $5 million or more are foreign. many of them foreign governments. under mounting pressure, the foundation recently announced it will only take money from six western countries. is that an acknowledgment that it was a mistake not to stop the other foreign donations before your wife ran for president? >> no absolutely not. it's an acknowledgment that we're going to come as close as we can during her presidential campaign to following the rules we followed when she became secretary of state. >> reporter: he defended the 10 to $25 million given by saudi arabia. >> i don't think that i did anything that was against the interests of the united states. >> reporter: do you understand, though, that the perception itself is a problem? >> no. >> reporter: you don't? >> look, i don't want to get into the weeds here. i'm not responsible for anybody else's perception. i asked hillary about this. she said no one's ever tried to influence me by helping you. no one has even suggested they have a shred of evidence to that effect. >> reporter: but even while the criticism at home rumbles, the heartwarming stories here in africa are undeniable. like here at the starkey hearing foundation program for 150 children and adults will get hearing aids today. >> you look like you know what you're doing. >> i've done these in uganda, zambia. >> reporter: this little boy will hear for the first time. >> good? good. okay. >> reporter: much of the work is far from glamorous. at a clinic in nairobi, chelsea clinton witnessed the use of a zinc and rehydration packet to treat the second leading killer of children, diarrhea. >> reporter: you got about a million of these. >> we did. we bought a million if you donated to the government. >> there's never been anything like this where you raised over $100 billion worth of stuff that's helped 430 million people in 180 countries. >> reporter: if he's troubled by the controversy swirling back at home, there is no indication of it here. ♪ these are some of nairobi's poorest kids. a sampling of the 10,000 who are now attending high school thanks to commit amments made to the clinton global initiative. >> my dream is now real. >> reporter: the program has been a whopping success. 98% graduate. 94% go on to college. in africa, he's greeted as if he's still president. and if you close your eyes, you might think you're right back on the campaign trail as he tries to shrink the gulf between himself and regular folks. >> when i was born, my mother was a widow. i once lived on a farm that had no indoor toilet. >> reporter: you certainly didn't grow up wealthy, but you've become a wealthy man. >> i have. yes. and one of the most amusing things of all is everybody's saying, well, how can hillary possibly relate to the terms of middle-class america? because now we have money. i mean, it's laughable. it's okay if you inherit your money, apparently, then you can help people. i'm grateful for our success, but let me remind you, when we moved into the white house, we had the lowest net worth of any family since harry truman. >> reporter: when you left, you had $14 million in legal bills. >> or more. that's okay. we paid them. and we've been very fortunate. >> reporter: over the years he's made a lot of money giving speeches. while his wife was secretary of state, he gave 11 of them which paid him $500,000 or more. >> i give 10% of my revenue off the top every year to the foundation. and hillary, in the year she was there, gave 17. over the last twoen years, i've taken almost no capital gains. i give 10% to pay my bills -- >> reporter: working americans say $500,000 for a speech? >> but why shouldn't every -- it's the most independence i can get. it's -- i don't -- if i had a business relationship buddy, they would have a target on their back from the day they did business with me till the end. any kind of disclosure is a target. but it looks bad. there's no facts, of course, but it looks bad. i work hard on this. i spend a couple hours a day just doing the research. people like to hear me speak. and i have turned down a lot of them. if i think there's something wrong with it, i don't take it. and i do disclose who gave it to them. >> reporter: so she's now running for president. will you continue to give speeches? >> oh, yeah. i've got to pay our bills. >> reporter: if your wife is elected president, will you step down from the foundation? >> well, if it's the right thing to do, i i will. >> reporter: why might you step down? >> well, if i were asked to do something in the public interest that i had an obligation to do, or i might take less of an executive role. i mean, my work, i'm involved in this, you can see. so i might do that. but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. >> reporter: until then, there are many more people to help and lots more money to raise. bill clinton says he trusts the american people to see the good work the foundation has done for 15 years and to realize the criticism is political. he's off to liberia today to meet with ebola survivors and to see the work of the foundation there. matt? >> all right, cynthia mcfadden, thank you. a very candid interview with former president bill clinton. she'll have more of that interview with president clinton tonight on "nbc nightly news." meantime, natalie's got more on an unexpected move tied to the protests in baltimore. >> good morning, everyone. baltimore's citywide curfew was lifted last night, six days of athe violent riots in the wake of freddie gray's death. six officers were charged in his death. our tom costello is in baltimore with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there's a real sense here in baltimore that the city may have finally turned the corner after the violence we've seen over the past week or so. over the weekend we saw hundreds, even thousands, of people peacefully demonstrating really a cardable atmosphere at times, but they are determined, they say, to hold the police department and city accountable for freddie gray's death. since the protests turned violent, the police department reports 486 people were arrested. 200 businesses lost. 113 different officers injured. but things were peaceful enough over the weekend that the mayor did indeed lift the curfew. we also saw the national guard starting to pull out. restaurants reopening here. as you know, those six officers who were connected to gray's arrest themselves now are charged in connection with his death. there's talk in legal circles and among some prosecutors around the country that maybe this prosecutor overreached, that she may have a hard time proving this case against the officers and that, in fact, she doesn't have a whole lot of evidence and maybe this is more meant to appease the protesters than, in fact, to actually get a conviction. but the officers' first court appearance is set for later this month. natalie, back to you. >> tom costello in baltimore, thank you. a shooting that left four people dead and another person wounded in wisconsin appears to have been a random act. police say a man went on a shooting spree on a pedestrian bridge sunday night. the shooter is among the dead. the surviving victim is listed in critical condition. nepal's government is urging foreign rescue workers in the earthquake-ravaged capital to return home, saying the major rescue work in kathmandu has been completed. meantime, u.s. military aircraft arrived in nepal on sunday as part of a u.s. relief operation. a helicopter and four ospreys will be used to reach remote areas. and another incredible story of survival. a 101-year-old man was rescued from the rubble of his home in one of the villages devastated in the earthquake, and he had just minor injuries. and some eck braing news out of london this morning. we finally have a name. will and kate have named their adorable little princess charlotte elizabeth diana. and she'll be known as her royal highness princess charlotte of cambridge. charlotte, of course, a nod to her grandfather, prince charles. as for the middle names, elizabeth, of course, in honor of the baby's great-grandmother, queen elizabeth, and diana is william's mother. much more coming up on the new name and the new royal in the next half hour. and a look this morning at a home run from a whole new point of view when arizona diamondbacks' third baseman aaron hill belted a home run at dodgers stadium this weekend. dodgers fan bobby crosby was there to catch it. but what makes this one even better, he caught the moment from his point of view. take a look. his own video camera there. and this is what it looked like as it made it into his hands. you can see right into the glove. turns out crosby has recorded such moments before, but usually just during batting practice. even better, though, the dodgers went on to win that game. so it's a happy fan indeed making the catch. catching it on video. and they win. >> what's interesting is none of the other fans kind of rushed to grab the ball. they said, this is his moment, his camera. let him get it. >> i think maybe they ought to give outfielders cameras. >> it's not a bad idea. >> catch it more often. mr. roker. >> well, we've got some warm weather to talk about. also some severe weather to talk about. a multiday event that's going to stretch from ohio all the way back into texas. you can see cooler air behind this system, warmer, moister air ahead of it. we've got showers and thunderstorms stretching from chicago on back. we've got a risk of strong storms today from 6 million people to late today on into tonight. isolated tornadoes possible. more of the same again tomorrow, especially through western texas, large hail. but we can't rule out a tornado. and we've got a fire danger. even though we've got temperatures that are nice and mild, anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees above average, we've also got low humidity, breezy conditions. from western new york into new england, we've got those red flag warnings and fire weather conditions today right on into tomorrow. we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. good morning. i'm meteorologist christina loren. temperatures are mild courtesy of our days getting longer as we head deeper into the spring season.

>> no. which was hilarious because she was the ultimate feminist. she didn't care if she was funnier than the next man or woman. she just wanted to be the funniest one. >> reporter: melissa and joan rivers were not just family. they were business partners too. >> it's a real exciting night. >> reporter: and of course on the red carpet. what was she like to work with? >> pretty amazing. it doesn't mean that we didn't have creative differences. oh there were some huge fights. but the amazing thing was there was this chemistry and we were a team. i was the straight man, she was the funny one. and if you come across a partnership like that once in your life as a performer, you're lucky. >> it's very scary when you see yourself totally without any makeup. >> reporter: and when it came to her appearance and her insecurities she was open about the fact that she'd had plenty of work done. >> yep. >> reporter: did her view of her own physical appearance impact you as a young girl? >> how could it not? how could it not? but, you know i look back and can say a lot of the things she said were destructive. i'm not a serial killer. i seem to be contributing somewhat to society and i hold down a job, so how destructive could those comments have been. >> peeping toms look in my window pull down the shades. >> reporter: for all of the jokes and jabs that joan rivers dolled out, melissa says she was the most critical of herself. do you think your mom had any idea the impact she had on so many people? >> no. i think she thought she was disliked. >> reporter: why? >> that's like delving into the psyche of a comedian. >> reporter: insecurity. >> that's a deep dive. and she was controversial. i mean she would meet people and she would know that they got it or they didn't get it. but not in her wildest dreams was she ever going to change. >> she speaks with her mom with such reverence and joy and love. it was really nice to spend time with her. >> whenever they were here in the studio it was just such a hoot and you could see the love between them. >> and we put the seven second delay on them. up to natalie. get ready because your favorite pitches are back.

at the ocean. >> reporter: each new day begins here with the sun viserising over sydney before the rest of the world. early morning swimmers get a jump start on the day. >> it's often been said we're lucky because we get the best start to the day in the country. >> reporter: with the waves beckoning surfers and soul searchers, keeping watch over the ocean loving city dwellers the famed bondai lifesavers. a local group of volunteers they also work with kids as young as 6 called nippers on beach safety. i caught up with a member of the life saving club. what's it like here? >> bondai beach is perfect. you think you're doing something strange or out of control, there's something someone doing something weirder. >> reporter: you ever had any rescues? >> last year i pulled maybe four or five people out of the water. >> reporter: for the thrill seekers, the best view of down under is atop the sydney harbor bridge soaring over 400 feet above the harbor. nearly 200,000 cars cross the expanse every day. >> it's so unique because there's no other bridge in the world that you can climb like this and experience such fabulous views of sydney. >> reporter: a more tranquil way to see this city of over 5 million, by ferry. nearly 15 million riders hop on and off every year. city scapes and shopping give way to my kind of aussie adventure. >> i grew up in the sand and salt water and fresh water. coming here to the big city so much to do. and the love brought me here. ♪ i still call australia home ♪ >> reporter: me too. i had such a good time checking out this beautiful city. guess what matt. i even made a few friends. guys come on over. and you'll appreciate this. does someone have a present for matt?

>> screenings really depend on your risk factors. so everyone should do a self-skin exam. if you have a risk of melanoma family history, you have pale skins, light eyes get screened frequently. determine how frequently you need to have the screening. >> so you go to a doctor. but you can do a certain amount of the screening at home by yourself. >> absolutely. you should look at your body all the time when you're naked. and the other thing are troublesome areas as far as you can't always see the top of your head or back. have your spouse look. and if anything is changing have them look at it have it get checked out. >> it really is a head to toe check, right? >> yeah. i usually recommend that people strip down to their birthday suits and start at the top of the head. look behind the ears look under the lips under the arms all the way down places sun doesn't shine and even between your toes. >> what exactly are you looking for? a lot of people have moles, birthmarks on their body. what differentiates that from what you should look at? >> it can be a non-healing growth a recurrent pimple. it can also be a melanoma. melanomas follow the rules of the abcs. asymmetry, border. it should be a clear, crisp border. the color, it should be one color. not multiple colors. brown and blue and black. the diameter less than the size of a pencil eraser. a mole bigger than that can also be a problem. and anything changing. >> you're going to check natalie. while she does that, early detection is the key. >> i would say on "the doctors," you shouldn't fear a diagnosis. fear a late diagnosis. because melanoma is treatable if caught early. if you let it grow it can metastasize, spread to other parts of the body and that's truly deadly. and people can see this is so easy. nowadays there are so many tools that dermatologists have to quickly scan your body. if there are concerns, they can do a biopsy. my other mother had melanoma and thank goodness she was diagnosed early to have it removed. i'm very cognizant of this myself. not only screening but protecting yourself from the sun as much as possible. you don't have to avoid going outside. but if you're going to go outside, wear clothing that covers up your skin. wide brimmed hats sunglasses certainly sun screen. and this is one of those things where it's cumulative. >> you're an outdoorsy person like i am. i don't think i've been as diligent about covering myself until my husband had a melanoma removed from his chin as well. i think it takes, sadly, having a personal experience. >> it is melanoma monday. a great day to talk about this. >> all good? am i good? >> yes. natalie did well. it's important to get these screenings. almost 10,000 people will die this year from malignant melanoma. >> for more skin cancer prevention tips and to learn where to get a screening, head to today.com. up next savannah hangs out with animals australia. the actual my name is jamir dixon and i'm a locate and mark fieldman for pg&e. most people in the community recognize the blue trucks as pg&e. my truck is something new... it's an 811 truck. when you call 811, i come out to your house and i mark out our gas lines and our electric lines to make sure that you don't hit them when you're digging. 811 is a free service. i'm passionate about it because every time i go on the street i think about my own kids. they're the reason that i want to protect our community and our environment, and if me driving a that truck means that somebody gets to go home safer, then i'll drive it every day of the week. together, we're building a better california. pretty day in new york city. if savannah's trip has inspired you to head to australia, tamron's got something. >> our sponsor qantas airways are viewing one lucky viewer the trip of a lifetime to sydney. so you can have a chance to win airfare and five nights down under exploring the sydney harbor and hunter valley wine country. head to today.com. let us know why you deserve to wake up in australia. good luck to you. >> all right, tamron. thank you very much. let's go back to savannah in sydney where she's spending time with new friends not clad in speedos. >> oh you can't blame me matt can you?

>> yes. he's a sweetheart. >> he is sweet. this is a new one. we have is the billby over here. >> they used to be all over the entire continent of australia. they've almost become a mythical animal here. they're adorable and we like to have mr. billby rather than the easter bunny. >> thank you for showing these off. how many orders for the wombats do we have?
