and they're what? remember that break in at the so-called largest closet in the country? a man claiming to be the burglar says the items he stole are fake. both the victim and the thief are telling their sides of the story today. monday, august 18, 2014. >> announcer: from nbc news this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a monday morning. i'm matt with tamron, natalie, and dylan. unfortunately we start the week with images nobody wanted to see especially the people in ferguson, missouri. violence protests overnight. images like this being seen everywhere this morning. tear gas used, some of the people gassed pouring milk over their face trying to get rid of the stinging in their eyes. >> it was an emotional roller coaster when you compare those images to the ones from the church service after the clashes resumed. this is our top story this morning. it comes after a private autopsy revealed michael brown was shot at least six times by police including at least twice in the head. ron allen is there. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. even the center here came underattack with protesters headed this way. everyone worry what had would happen when the midnight curfew started. but the firie i violence starte that. the most intense night of violence on the streets of ferguson yet. shooting, fire bombs, multiple buildings under attack. heavily armed s.w.a.t. and tactical units back on the streets with a huge display of fire power. crowds of angry protesters stood their ground. why are you still out here? >> because this was a murder. it's plain to see. his hands were up when he got shot. >> reporter: hang on. hang on. something's happening. passions inflamed in part by word of a prelim nation autopsy by michael brown's family showing he was shot six times by officer wilson. all the bullets struck the front of his body and did not appear to be from close range. it's a few hours before the curfew of midnight. the protesters say they're not going anywhere. you can see the police are starting to move in. police chronicled a barrage. 8:25 p.m., first reports of gunfire. then shots fired at police officers. 8:28 p.m. reports of eight armed gunmen. 8.56 p.m., hundreds trying to attack the police command center. 9:20 p.m., a mcdonald's under siege. employees barricaded inside. >> we are all determined to restore peace and safety to the people of ferguson. >> we stand with this family. >> reporter: throughout sunday, attempts to head off the violence. calls for peace and unity at this emotional service for the parents of michael brown. the man in charge of security offered this. >> i'm sorry. i wear this uniform and i should stand up here and say that i'm sorry. i love you. i stand tall with you. and i'll see you out there. >> reporter: hours later, combat on the streets. commanders here called for more backup from nearby towns as ferguson descended into more mayhem. when it was over, police say at least six people were arrested. later this morning we expect to hear more from the brown family about the autopsy that they commissioned. and later tonight police expect ferguson to be under curfew yet again. >> ron allen reporting from ferguson. thank you very much. all eyes are on an embassy in london this morning where julian assange has hid in plain sight for two years. he's wanted on serious charges in sweden and earlier this morning he announced he's finally preparing to leave. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, tamron nop sign of julian assange so far this morning. but earlier today he did tell a group of reporters inside that he was going to leave soon. he wouldn't say when or why. he's locked himself away in this embassy for the past two years to avoid extradition to sweden where he's wanted on a pair of sexual assault cases and he could face 35 years in a u.s. prison as well. assange said again today he was innocent. he says the cases in sweden is part of a politically driven u.s. plot against him. he also said questions about his health or issues that potentially he had heart and lung problems, he said those are not the reasons for him deciding to leave. he says there's been a change in british law which may affect his case. and, of course, on his defense team is amal almudin. if he steps outside of that embassy, he will be arrested. >> thank you. texas governor rick perry is fighting back against a grand jury indictment on abuse of power charges. this as the republican was positioning himself for another run for the white house. peter alexander has more on this. >> reporter: good morning to you. rick perry has been in the midst of a political makeover of sorts. but now he's the first texas governor indicted in a century. he argue ifs i had to do it again, i would make exactly the same decision. the longest-serving governor in niervegtzs focused on 2016 recently revamping his image trading in his cowboy boots for stylish glasses. all to help erase embarrassing moments from a 2012 campaign. >> i can't. i'm sorry. oops. >> reporter: but that faces a new obstacle. perry blasting his indictment as outrageous. >> this is not the way we settle political differences in this country. you don't do it with indictments. we settle our political differences at the ballot box. >> reporter: a texas grand jury indicted him for two charges of abuse of power. >> you've been arrested for dwi. >> reporter: perry threatened to use his veto power to withhold funds from her agency. when lundberg didn't step down, he vetoed. >> this amounts to nothing more than abuse of power and i cannot and i will not allow that to happen. >> reporter: perry spent last week reintroducing him in iowa and others. his indictment does raise another issue for republicans. another 2016 contender with a blemish on his resume. chris christie's bridge gate and scott walker under scrutiny for allegations of campaign finance violence. >> it's going to be interesting. thank you very much. natalie's here with u.s. air strikes in iraq. >> that's right. good morning, guys. the u.s. widening its air campaign in iraq. the latest attacks are aimed at helping kurdish forces. the islamic state extremist group i.s.i.s. took control two weeks ago. u.s. forces conducted about 25 air strikes over the weekend. two crew members were killed and two others in a fiery train crash in arkansas. the two union pacific trains collided head on. two cars and an engine caught fire and smoke billowed into the sky. a spokesman said one carried diesel fuel and the other with an alcoholic beverage. police in southern california arrested a 15-year-old boy sunday for allegedly posting threats online to shoot students. deputies received calls about the instagram photos. they included stock guns and dead bodies. the police don't believe the student ever formulated a plan to shoot. pope francis is urging. he wrapped up a visit to south korea by celebrating mass. and he told his young audience how their youth could be a gift to the world. and at the little league world series, the magical run continues for the team from philadelphia and their star pitcher mo'ne davis. this girl is on fire. it was a backed house in williamsport, pennsylvania, as they played. mo'ne davis wasn't pitching sunday. but she came through at the plate. that was her first hit of the tournament. the blooper to right field scored a run. fast forward. and shanahan hit the grounder to short but the winning run would come on an error to first base. pennsylvania wins 7-6. amazing team effort there. >> and all of those girls were bringing it. they were amazing. i love it. >> it's so much fun. it is. >> the boys and girls are so good. al's off today. dylan's here. i'm looking at graphics. huntsville, little rock not looking so good today. >> not really. we're looking at most of our showers through the mississippi river valley today. we have a cold front moving through right now but then it is going to stall out. right along this front that's where we'll see waves that will trigger scattered showers and storms. we've got some in arkansas, tennessee, west virginia and west virginia. we are going to see those produce heavier down pours through the day today. lots of cloud to ground lightning. most areas will pick up about an inch or two. but some of those heavier downpours could produce 2 inches an hour. we could see 3 to 5 inches in the areas in yellow. that's a look at

latest forecast. by the way, we've been having an august a lot more like september. you'll have more on that in a second. >> yeah. we look into that. what the heck is going on right now. >> some people like it. some people don't. this one likes the chill. now to a growing dispute over a new york landmark. some activists say he is not welcome here because of his country's strict anti-gay laws. kristen da krist kristen dahlgren has this this morning. >> reporter: you've probably seen spot in the movies. now it's at the center of this controversy. it is one of the world's most famous hotels with an almost mythical history. the glamour of the great gatsby. kate hudson and anne hathaway fought over a dream wedding here. and little elouise lived her storybook life in one of its rooms. but now human activists are outraged the hotel could belong to the sultan of brunei. the leader of a small oil-rich country that was recently condemned by the united nations for its penal code for muslims including death by stoning for homosexuals and adulterers. >> this is the only nation that has instituted a new series of laws that target lbgt people and women to be stoned to death. >> reporter: the sultan's bid of about $2 billion to buy the plaza and in london. he already owns the beverly hill hotels which saw big protests. showing ellen degeneres and jay leno leading the boycott. >> how many people here nknow a woman? or a gay person? tis is not complicated. >> reporter: dozens of events were canceled. a fate that could come to new york if the sale of the plaza goes through. >> we urge all new yorkers to have one message to the sultan. that is to take your business elsewhere. >> reporter: now, in a statement the plaza told us it doesn't comment on rumor, speculation, or long-term management agreements. we tried but were unsuccessful at reaching the sultan of brunei. any other sale is liking to happen quickly. the current owner of the plaza is in jail in india. he's been charged to come up with $1.6 billion bail. now back over to dylan for strange weather we've seen coast to coast. >> how do you think the summer's been doing so far? >> i like it. >> it's freezing. >> i like a 90-plus degree day. >> that would be lovely. >> ask people in the northwest and they might say it's been too hot. this couldn't be any different than the summer that happened last year. so why and how? take a look. >> not too hot and not too muggy. >> i like it hotter. >> reporter: these are the dog days of summer, right? well, that depends on where you call home. this year the legendary summer heat of the northeast has been tamer than the pacific northwest. cities like new york and boston usually hit 90 degrees about 15 times a year. but this they've seen only four 90-degree days while portland, oregon, is already triple that with 12. the mercury in dallas didn't hit triple digits until july 13th, several weeks later than usual. so what's causing this? a pattern like this in the jet stream explains a lot. that ridge out west keep us warm and that trough in the east keeps it cool. remember last month when we flirted with that vortex? all that mild weather is having an economic impact. air conditioner retailers and repairmen say their business is down especially compared to last year's scorching summer. what does this mean for fall and winder? nothing. in fact, this week we're going to notice temperatures warm up in the south. it cools down in the northwest. around here it's going to get cooler. we'll end the week in the 70s. i like it. it's nice. >> see if you still like it when winter starts and we send you on the road. >> that's true. >> i can see your parka right now. >> willie's in for carson this morning in the orange room. >> a lot of people weighing in on this including miss dylan dreyer. where's dylan's head? i think it's at the bar. this was her tweet over the weekend. i'm just so happy shock top pumpkin beer is back. #autot #autumn in august. the pumpkin spice latte in starbucks, they're releasing it early. soon. now here's some of our viewers. had to swamp my pointed flats for these today. elena says it's august and my

hear from you how you're feeling. >> two weeks until the unofficial of summer. >> you can always get the indian summer. >> how about the cheese we hear with the whine here? >> i had the car seat heater on. coming up, the strange twist in that robbery of what's called the largest closet in the country. were the items that were stolen fake? >> shaking our heads. that is crazy. a ena special

deal with high... and low blood sugar. januvia (sitagliptin) is a once-daily pill that, along with diet and exercise, helps lower blood sugar. januvia works when your blood sugar is high and works less when your blood sugar is low, because it works by enhancing your body's own ability to lower blood sugar. plus januvia, by itself, is not likely to cause weight gain or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). januvia should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. tell your doctor if you have a history of pancreatitis. serious side effects can happen, including pancreatitis which may be severe and lead to death. stop taking januvia and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area which may be pancreatitis. tell your doctor right away and stop taking januvia if you have an allergic reaction that causes swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or affects your breathing or causes rash or hives. kidney problems sometimes requiring dialysis have been reported. using januvia and a sulfonylurea or insulin together may cause low blood sugar. to reduce the risk, your doctor may prescribe a lower dose of the sulfonylurea or insulin. your doctor may perform blood tests before and during treatment to check your kidneys. if you have kidney problems a lower dose may be prescribed. side effects may include upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, and headache. for help lowering your blood sugar talk to your doctor about januvia today. and then there's juicy chicken. the difference is

from what's called america's biggest tl closet. janet shamlian has the latest. >> reporter: this story has taken a strange turn. we've now heard from someone claiming to be the burglar and he is angry. he said in his haul of expensive jewels and handbags isn't the real deal. that it's all phony. >> all the items that were taken were fake. >> reporter: fake? a treasure-trove from teresa romer's over the top three-story megacloset. the one used by the former mrs. texas to host fancy fund raisers and charity. >> he took all of my rolexs, all of my chanel watches, all of my diamonds, all the harry winston, all the oscar de la renta jewelry. >> reporter: there was this video of someone rifling through the shelves. then a blue came to this reporter from someone claiming to be the thief. >> every single item that she had is fake. >> reporter: apparently using a burner phone with a new york city area code disguising his or her voice. >> his sort of demeanor seemed like someone who felt like they were wronged. >> reporter: the caller said he contacted romer asking for more than half a million dollars to return the stolen items and not disclose his claim that they're fake. but the deal didn't go through, so he called the paper. >> if you give me an address, i will send you samples of items of hers. >> reporter: they received a brown envelope containing a dozen things to be costume jewelry and a keepsake locket. they said the locket appeared to be hers. she never pretended that everything in her closet was high priced but says she has receipts to back up her claims. >> everything was turned over to the sheriff's office. so hopefully this will help. >> reporter: and romer also told the website that she believes because her story got so much publicity that he was unable to sell any of this stuff. that's when he tried to extort her. the sheriff's department is still investigating. i think we'll hear more on this one. >> it's hard to get me to feel sorry for a

it'll feel 106 in albany, georgia. we are looking at a lower number than average on 90-plus-degree days. that goes back to the fact it has been a little bit docooler than we would normally see. and by friday it'll feel like 101 in atlanta. today we do still have a couple of scattered showers and storms. we could end up with as much as 3 to 5 inches of rain and some of those heavier down pours. we

accident in connecticut just this month. today jeff rossen is here with more on that. >> reporter: important story for all of us. good morning, guys. i'm sure a lot of you were out on the water this weekend. it was beautiful. some of you even tubing. it is fun, no question about that. and more popular than ever. but deadly accidents keep on happening. the tubes flip over at high speeds dumping you into the water. then people make split second decisions that can end in death. there are simple tips to keep you safe. this morning i'm jumping in to show you what to do when you flip. it's a great way to beat the heat. zipping behind a boat. sweeping across the sea. and while it looks like harmless fun, youtube is full of extreme wipeouts. >> there he goes. >> oh! he's gone. >> when you're out there tubing, you're going 18 to 25 miles an hour. when you fall off it can almost feel like hitting concrete. >> reporter: last year alone, there were more than 4,000 boating accidents resulting in 560 deaths. many from water sports. the latest just two weeks ago when this 16-year-old girl from connecticut fell off her tube. when the boat turned around to pick her up, emily was struck and killed by the churning propeller. >> she's gone, and so it's just, it's crazy to think it could happen to anyone. >> reporter: now the largest boat association is issuing a new warning. are y >> are you ready to go? >> reporter: ready. putting me on a tube to demonstrate tips. on this turn as i hit the boat's wake, i wipe out. the tube flying in the air. my body slamming into the water. okay, so when you fall off the tube, your immediate instinct is going to be to swim back to the boat. don't do that. you want to stay exactly where you are and tread water. wearing a lifeboat is mandatory so it's easy. look around for other boats. make sure you won't get hit. you're just a tiny little dot in the middle of this giant sea. they can barely see you. then give the okay sign to your boat make eye contact and wait for them to come get you. and what the boat operator does next is just as critical. >> jeff, i'm coming to you, stay where you are. grab the towline. with the motor off, there's no chance of you getting hurt by the propeller. >> reporter: that's the biggest tip. cut the engine. when the boat gets close, i grab the line. so the engine is off so this is safe. >> there you go. >> reporter: and now we're safe on the boat, no chance for propeller collision. >> you can have a great time and still be safe. >> reporter: by the way, all those tips also apply to all water sports like wake boarding and water skiing. some other important things to remember, always make sure there are at least two people on the boat. someone to drive and also a spotter so when you're dumped off they can see you and make eye contact with you. experts say you should also be wearing a life jacket. seems obvious, but believe it or not, most of the people who die every year are not wearing them. >> great information. >> jeff, thank you. appreciate it. well, coming up on "trending," wish your kids would stop ignoring your phone calls? now there's an app for that. and next an

55% of what you convey comes from your body language. i think we all know that, right? you're shutting me out right now. that's what that says. giving me the cold shoulder. >> or he wants a back rub. >> you know me too well. >> here's interesting. when you're speaking about something emotional, only 7% of what the other person hears really has to do with the words that you're using. they're really analyzing the emotions that are coming through. in five minutes they say you can often elevator people and with approximately 70% accuracy. you can pretty much judge somebody in five minutes. i don't know if that's really saying a lot about a person. that doesn't tell their life's story. here's another question. you're in a business meeting or job interview, what do cross legs mean? >> you have a skirt on. >> that's what i say. if you're a woman, it's what you do. when you're negotiating, it could have a devastating effect. >> come on. >> i think if you're a guy, perhaps. >> so they want you to go in as a woman and not cross your lelgs. >> that's a different kind of negotiating. >> that's a basic instinct thing. i think you have to be ladylike. janine has the palms down indicates power. if you're on the table. palms up shows submission. she tells us this all the time. so i don't have to worry about crossing my legs. i walk in stand the whole time, and slam down. look at me, this is what's going to happen. or else. >> in that accent? >> yeah. works every time. >> i'll take you in when i buy a car. >> i think the rules are different with men and women on that one? a woman has to cross her legs when wearing a skirt. otherwise it's inappropriate. >> show time. >> this is the best ever. it reaches all of us. a researcher for a ph.d. of chocolate in the department of chemical engineering and biotechnology. yes. you at home, you can become a doctor of chocolate. isn't that fabulous? the challenge would be to stop chocolate melting in warm climates by studying the fundamentals of heat-stable chocolate. apply by august 29th. so i think -- >> you have to be a chemical engineering ph.d. right? >> or just a connoisseur of clock lat. >> that's going to cost you five bucks on your detox. is that worth it she gave up sweets. >> i gave up sweets which is detox challenge. i think i was set up to fail. because i owe $170. i was at the women's health party over the weekend. and this stranger, woman, lovely lady came over and said you know that's going to cost you. because they had a when & jerry's stand. >> $175. go ahead. $180. >> it's not per bite. it's per instance. we'll give you a 5-minute. >> i'm turning in my chip tomorrow. i can't do it anymore. >> you're out? >> i'm out. >> you have 13 days. >> i'm out. >> i broke down once. >> you did break down. but you said you've been eyeballing and putting things to the side. so is that fair? >> well, i have them in my mind i've been saying i want to get that on september 1st. >> you will. >> that's cheating. thinking is cheating. >> they've been added to your cart, you just haven't hit purchase. >> that counts. how are you doing? >> i'm good. it's easier than i thought it would be. >> and you lost a couple of pounds. >> i'm just not having a sandwich. i'm not going to pizza or pasta. chicken, vegetables, fruits. >> so no carbs. >> my kids each goldfish crackers. i didn't count that as a violation. because it's not a bread. >> or a pasta. >> they are bread. those crispy goldfish. misery loves company. thank you. 180. >> are we still reading this one? >> okay. >> i'm so rude. >> here's an interesting thing. when you get married, there are obviously great traditions. remember this moment from steve martin's film "father of the bride"? >> i love this movie. >> okay so, of course, the father walk this bride down the aisle. question is, is it becoming old fashioned? more and more you hear about now both parents walking the bride down the aisle. in fact, the website distractify looks at the outdated traditions like giving away the bride. others they say are the garter toss, bouquet toss. not seeing each other before the wedding. i love these. smashing the cake in each other's face. >> i don't like that one. >> that's aggressive. >> you did that. >> no. our friend did that. got drunk and smashed his face in the cake. different story. >> who walks you down the aisle, if you have just a mom or a brother. i went to a wedding recently, my friend -- her son's 20 now, he walked her down the aisle. it accommodates the modern family and your story. >> i love the whole idea of somebody giving away the bride though. i think there's something timeless. >> i do see a way of people seeing it as you own me and you're giving me away. but i get it. >> did you ask for their hand in marriage. whether you're asking the mother of father. i think it's sweet. >> it's a sign of respect. >> but there is a line that people have as far as modern way of looking at life. >> i agree. >> my cup of tea, i'm more traditional. but i get it. >> and people don't have to do any of these things. >> yeah. >> all right, dylan dreyer. what's happening with the weather? >> it's freezing. >> i didn't have a wedding cake at our wedding. we had apple crisp instead. >> i love that. >> speaking of the perfect month, october, feeling more like october around here. and we also have a cold front that's trying to move through that's going to stall out back through here. and we're going to see these waves along this front. we've got a pocket of heavier down pours in arkansas. one through tends and northern georgia. then we'll see showers and storms begin to move into parts of the southeast. now, some of these storms could produce heavier rain and we could end up with isolated amounts as much as 3 to 5 inches. possible in just a three-hour time period. we could see some of those heavier pockets of rain that could lead good morning, i'm first alert meteorologist brittney shipp. as we head to the start of your workweek, plenty of sunshine expected and nice condition and temperatures range between 81 and 84 degrees and our wind direction will shift out of the southwest five to ten miles per hour. your seven-day forecast shows a chance of showers and an increase in clouds as we head into tuesday. 82 degrees and our humidity continues to build throughout the rest of our week and also see a chance of storms wednesday, thursday, friday clearing up by next weekend. >> and that's your latest forecast. >> thank you. see you in a few minutes. we are searching for some mom-prnuer success stories. we want to hear their stories if they are an entrepreneur and highlight them here on "today." i know a lot of these women. some people have left the workforce and are still driven and smart and all those things. they do it on their own. >> i love when they figure out or invent the next big idea. >> absolutely. coming up next here, oscar winner marisa tomei and director ira sachs. they give massages. it's going to be a good segment. they're new film "love notfresh tomatoesre from my garden.n can you imagine how delicious they would be paired with triscuit crackers?

>> it's human. i think to me there's issues around same-sex marriage, but that's the starting point. >> it is hard to articulate it. it is about same-sex marriage but really about love. >> it's a couple that's been together for 39 years. it's just in the subtleties of that relationship you see how deeply they know each other so well. >> i think what's rare for these actors is to actually be the lead in a story about an older couple. same-sex or not, there's not that many films out there where they're given the opportunity. i had the advantage of working with these incredible comic actors. i couldn't have imagined we could turn this film with a lot of dramatic situations into also a comedy. but if you've got marisa tomei, yeah. >> how was that with john and alfred? the dynamic there had to be incredible. >> i felt so lucky. i'd worked with alfred many years ago, so it was a sweet reunion. and john is just the most generous, easy to fall into any scene with. he's a great actor. you want to be up there at their level and play with them. and our young gentleman, charlie, is also fantastic. >> ira, what do you hope people take away from this movie when they see it? >> i hope they connect to it in a really personal way. that seems to be what's happening in the movie. people feel it reflects part of their own lives. that can be from a variety of positions and experiences. when my mother and stepfather say that's our story, i feel i've honored them. >> it's beautiful, the long-term love, that intimacy. knowing someone so well and having those shared jokes over so long and every -- the way that those two alfred and john know each other is so beautiful. and then my relationship with my husband isn't as happy. i have a lot of sour face going on. >> but everybody can connect. >> yeah. >> and i think on a level in terms of the changing notion of the times, i think this film is for a lot of people an introduction to a same-sex couple they haven't had before. and i think people leave the film knowing that they're part of their own family. and i think that's significant. we are in a new time and this film reflects that. >> congratulations on the film. it's a really sweet, lovely story. thank you for bringing it to us.

temperatures warming to the 80s and plenty of sunshine and look at cape may, that would be a nice play place to be today. temperatures some of our locations have already warmed into the 70s. 71 in philadelphia and 70 degrees in wilmington and mild conditions at the atlantic city airport and mid-60s in all allentown. over the next couple of days, we'll stay in the low 80s and take a look at

light series. i'm going to later this year help renovate a homeless shelter for children. natalie ran the boston marathon. earlier today we got to see tamron's shine a light. she's shining a light on domestic violence and met with seven women who were strong and brave enough to share their experiences. here's one of those stories. >> i was just tired. i didn't want to fight anymore. i didn't want to argue anymore. and i remember him just running towards me holding my neck against the wall and just looking at me and saying, you know, talk back to me. i couldn't talk back. i could barely breathe. he then grabbed my daughter's thigh and just squeezed it with the same pressure he was squeezing my neck. my daughter was screaming hysterically. her leg was purple. i was, like, you can hurt me. you can slam, you can do whatever you want to me but you will not touch my daughter. and that's when i was like, i have to get out of this house. >> stories like those brought to you by tamron

renada. she has two amazing sons who have been supportive of this who are both watching. and, you know, this is about inspiring people to open their eyes and to make a change. the women that i had a chance to meet, a couple of them were victims when they were 12, 13 years old. and so people often believe that this is a problem in your 30s or 20s. but it's growing. social media is playing a role. we talk about social media and bullying. when someone says give me your pass code or let me check your voice mail. they're using technology to control you. that's a new aspect of it. but these women are brave. day one is an organization, it was the first group that allowed me to open up and tell my sister's story. they do great work. they talk to boys about what love is. i keep telling myself, today, not tomorrow. and we're doing this today not tomorrow. i have an incredible team of friends and family and i consider you both family who are supporting me but most important are those women.
