from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. and good morning. welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning. a lot of people raising eyebrows over that pepsi ad. >> when you try to mix politics or social issues with a soda ad, it's tricky. and pepsi is answering for that ad this morning. we'll have much more coming up. but let's start with the top story. it's a surprising reaction from the white house overnight to yet another north korean missile test. that provocation just one of the national crises, now facing the trump administration. we have complete coverage, beginning with hallie jackson at the white house. hallie, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, matt. good morning. if kim jong-un is trying to prod a response out of the u.s., he's not getting one. the secretary of state issuing what amounts to a no comment. and before this latest wa launce white house indicating the time has r is running out for north korea. and this as they're meeting with china's leader. and this is going to be at the top of the agenda. in timing of this missile test, no coincidence. north korea, launching one day before president trump is feeting with xi jinping. the missile was fired from north korea's east coast, reaching an altitude of 117 miles before crashing into the sea of japan. the launch, triggering a terse statement from rex tillerson. north korea launched another intermediate range ballistic missile. the united states has spoken enough about north korea. we have no further comment. it's the latest in a series of missile launches from north korea recently. the country also conducting nuclear tests and warning it's ready to test an intercontinental ballistic missile. on the campaign trail, then-candidate trump talking tough on north korea. >> north korea is more dangerous and defiant than ever. >> reporter: and now, as president, his administration is taking a hard line on north korean efforts to develop a nuclear weapons program, calling on china to rein in kim jong-un, the leader of the rogue country. in an interview with "the financial times" published sunday, president trump says he's ready to act to curb north korea's nuclear ambitions with or without china's help. china will decide to help us with north korea or they won't, the president said. if china's not going to sofl north korea, we will. u.n. ambassador nikki haley says she hopes the summit at mar-a-lago will create a good relationship between presidents trump and xi. >> they are willing to act on north korea. >> reporter: this administration has been pushing china to take a tough tougher stance on north korea, a white house official says that will be a matter of interest tomorrow and friday at mar-a-lago. he's likely to be asked about it today by reporters during a press conference with the king of jordan. >> hallie, thank you. now, to a troubling foreign policy incident facing the white house and the world. this morning, president trump and other world leaders are condemning a suspected chemical weapons attack in syria, that killed dozens of people and children. the images of the aftermath is disturbing. richard engel has the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. they are absolutely disturbing. a u.s. intelligence official tells nbc news it appears this was a chemical weapons attack. but russia, an ally of the syrian regime, has a different explanation. saying a weapons depot was exploded, releasing toxins in the air. the images show the tell-tale signs of a chemical weapons atta attack. no blood, only the dead and injured on the ground, after succumbing to what witnesses describe a poison gas. this boy, using all his strength just to breathe. the first responders, stripping off their clothes to wash off the invisible contaminant. medics and volunteers, rushing people to clinics. >> no one is doing anything to top these gas attacks. >> reporter: they claim bashar al assad's syrian army fired sarin. while condemning the attack, president trump took a shot at his predecessor, barack obama, saying in a statement, the heinous actions by the bashar al assad regime are a consequence of the previous administration's weakness. he is referring to 2013, after a thousand people were killed in another alleged chemical attack by the assad regime. >> a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemicals moving around or being utilized. that would change my calculus. >> reporter: but vladimir putin swooped in with a deal, offering to help rid syria of chemical weapons. averting any further talk from president obama of war. other victims of tuesday's attack were taken to a makeshift clinic built in a cave to protect it. a father there kissed his daughter good-bye. in a nearby room, this activist was recording what he was seeing, saying warplanes were still overhead. then, hospitals are often targeted in this cwar, a war tht respects no conventions. amazing the actor survive. the southeaste syrian army denied it used chemical weapons. there were still air strikes in the same part this morning. let's bring in nbc national security analyst, jeremy bash. he served as chief of staff at the cia and the defense department during the obama administration. good morning to you. >> good morning, matt and savannah. >> president trump said the world has to happen what happened in syria. then, he went to blame on the obama administration, not being tough on the red line for chemicals used by assad. is this time for the blame game? what are his real options? and doesn't he need to articulate his own plan right now. >> he's the president. the blame game never saved the life of an innocent child. and the question on the securit council and this national chief is what the military options boil down to this. air strikes from a military mi warpla warships off of the coast, would be to prevent his warmaking abilities in the future against civil wan populations. it sounds defenses are dense. they're sophisticated. r heightened level of risk over syrian skies. and we wouldsia aside because the a not somethi white house is willing to do. >> we blame game worth examining what happened here. the obama administration setat . and then said, we don't need to do military options because we got this deal to get the chemical weapons out of syria. opportuni turns out, all of the weapons aren't gone because they've been used recently. >> that's right, savannah. what also has failed is any diplomatic effort to take assad out of power. i talked about the military options. the reality is, only a diplomatic solution will remove assad and bring syria back together again. >> let me ask you about north korea before we go. they test-fired another missile. it comes as president trump is about to met with the leader of china. kim jong-un is saying i'm not going to be ignored. what options do we have there, jeremy? >> i thought it was an interesting move to give him the silent treatment, as president trump sits down with president xi over the next couple days, he's going to try to put the screws to the chinese leadership to say, use your leverage and your economic influence in po pyongya pyongyang. >> but trump said he will get ambitions for north korea, with or without china. >> preemptive military action, that would be dangerous. north korea could send artillery fire into seoul. there's 10 million people there. we can 2,800 troops. i would not recommend military action at this point. >> thank you very much. the white house is doubling down on its effort to revive the failed health care bill. also, the battle over the supreme court nominee intensified with democrats holding the floor on the senate in opposition to that pick. kristen welker, good morning. >> reporter: you're right. the fight over the president supreme court nominee is heating up this morning, as democrats dig in. this is a live shot of the senate floor, as some democrats hold an all-night talk-a-thon to protest this nomination. it's still going on. the reality, as republicans have enough votes to override the democrats. this comes as republicans try to salvage the plan to repeal and replace obamacare. there were more meetings on capitol hill. the white house striking a note of optimism. but republicans are more skeptical, stressing, there's no deal yet. for the second night in a row, a huddle on the hill. the vice president and other top white house officials rallying house republicans to revive their stalled effort to repeal and replace obamacare. >> we're making progress. >> reporter: at the table, moderate and conservative members of the gop. overnight, striking a note of optimism. >> there was a general agreement that the progress that we're making is certainly progress. and they're good discussions. >> reporter: president trump telling nbc news, he's confident they can strike a deal. a point echoed by vice president mike pence touuesday. >> the president and i remain confident that working with the congress, we will repeal and replace obamacare. >> reporter: a compromise, allowing states to waive some regulations if they can provide lower costs and premiums. but that could wind up aliena alienating more moderate problems who say the new plan can drive up costs for the sick. with health care up in the air, neil gorsuch is one step closer to confirmation, after debate ended late tuesday. but overnight, politico reporting he plagiarized several authors in his book and academic article. the accusations were called, a last-second smear of judge gorsuch. a showdown, now, set for thursday, with republicans in the majority, poised to use the nuclear option needed to approve gorsuch. also in the spotlight, ivanka trump. now speaking out in a rare interview. >> i would say not to conflate lack of public denouncement with silence. >> reporter: responding to critics, saying she should speak out more on issues like gay rights and climate change. >> where i disagree with my father, he knows it. and i express myself with total candor. >> reporter: now, ivanka has her father's ear, serving as special assistant to the president. ivanka pushing back, when asked about criticism she is complicit in her father's agenda. >> if being complicit is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact, i'm complicit. >> reporter: as for judge gorsuch, the author of the law review article, that he is accused of plagiarizing. knocking down the allegation. and the white house calling the allegations cherry-picked. the final vote on gorsuch is expected friday. >> kristen welker, thank you. there's new twists in the russian investigation. the republican lawmakers dragging president obama's national security adviser into the conversation. she is firing back exclusively to nbc's andrea mitchell. andrea, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. former obama national security adviser susan rice is at the center of the new political firestorm, fanned by the trump white house, denying to nbc that the obama administration used intelligence for political purposes. as critics are charging that the administration is trying to divert attention from the investigation of russian meddling in the election. susan rice, in an exclusive interview with us, responding to a bloomberg news report, that the white house is zeroing in on whether she requested the name of trump officials, caught up in surveillance be revealed or unmasked for political reasons. rice insisting any unmasking requests were part of her job. >> we do it to protect the american people to do our jobs in the national security room. that's the only reason. >> did you leak the name of mike flynn? >> i leaked nothing to nobody. and never have and never would. >> reporter: the white house continues to fuel the controversy. >> the more we find out about this, the more we learn that there was clearly something there. >> reporter: it's the latest in a series of charges by the trump administration that critics say are designed the distract from the russia investigation. and justify the president's explosive tweet a month ago. just found out that obama had my wires tapped in trump tower. shot down immediately by top republicans and fbi director james comey. >> i have no information that supports those tweets. >> reporter: the second claim, press secretary sean spicer repeating a false statement by a fox news pundit, accusing president obama to ask british intelligence to spy on mr. trump. the president brushing off questions, referring to fox. >> you shouldn't be talking to me. you should be talking to fox. >> reporter: the british intelligence, and the nsa director, shooting the story down. >> did you request that your counterparts should wiretap mr. trump on behalf of mr mr. obama? >> no, sir, nor would i. >> reporter: the third charge, devin nunes that he's seen official that trump officials were swept up in legal surveillance. leading president trump to say he felt vindicated. but nunes walked back the charge, saying he did not know if trump officials had been s surveilled or mentioned by others. the information he used came from officials inside the trump white house. and today, "the wall street journal," quoting a republican official familiar with house intelligence committee remembme is reporting that mike flynn and one other identify official, were the two people unmasked. flynn, on a call with the russian ambassador. another, on a matter unrelated to russia. republican sources say susan rice is not the official that requested either of those unmaskings. >> andrea mitchell. fascinating. a tornado tore through the southwest corner of missouri, causing damage in a small down

nice to see you. we have a quiz here. >> one of the questions that comes up, how do i make a good first impression? and how much time do you have to make a great first impression. there was a recent article in "forbes" magazine that says you have seven seconds to make a great impression. to reveal what they're looking for. we give you a word puzzle and give you a sense of what seven seconds feels

they're determining whether or not you're making a positive first impression, are two elements, warmth and competence. how do i express warmth and competence in seven seconds. and the key to that is really just find a way to connect because through connection, that's how they assess trustworthiness. way to get there quicker is before you walk into a meeting, do a little scrappy homework. see what you can find out about that person. a little about their hobbies, interest. >> stalking. >> right. elegant stalking would be helpful. >> something to talk about. and what that shows them is, this

anything too much of anything is a mistake. if you're leaning too far forward, might be over eager. too far back would be cold or off-putting. if somebody, arms are crossed, they're closed off, not
