Those stories, plus paris underwater. Historic flooding sends tourists scrambling. Coffee and cancer the controversial push thats causing a stir. And miracle in vegas, a brave survivor of the Las Vegas Massacre finally leaves the hospital nearly four months after being shot in the head. Im happy. Her family preparing a special homecoming for her. Today, thursday january 25th 2018. Announcer from nbc news this is today with Savannah Guthrie and hoda kotb. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And welcome to today. Thank you for joining us on this thursday morning. Good morning, everybody. Our top story is one that everyone is talking about, the latest chapter in the u. S. Gymnastics sex abuse scandal. A judge sentencing the teams former disgraced doctor larry nassar up to 175 years in prison and telling him she just signed his death warrant. We will talk with one of his most prominent victims, aly raisman. First, kate snow is joining us. Hey, then called on the universitys president to resign and then she did. Overnight the president of Michigan State university stepping down amid the sex abuse scandal rocking the school and the u. S. Gymnastics organization. Writing in part to the survivors, i can never say enough that i am so sorry that a trusted, renowned physician was really such an evil evil person who inflicted such harm under the guys of medical treatment. Adding as tragedies are politicized, blame is inevitable. As president , it is only natural that i am the focus of this anger. President simon in some victims addressing simon directly during the sentenceing this week. How could you . Whats wrong with you . Have you now decency, maam . The university denies accusations it ignored complaints about nassar for years while he was a doctor at the school. The ncaa is investigating. Ive just signed your death warrant. A dramatic culmination wednesday of an emotional sevenday sentencing hearing. As much as it was my honor and privilege to hear the sister survivors, it is my honor and privilege to sentence you. Because, sir, you do not deserve to walk outside of a prison ever again. Judge Rose Marie Aquilina 17 ten 1710 1710 sentencing the doctor to between 40 and 175 years in prison. The judge incredulous read from a letter nassar had written to the court asking to be spared from having to listen to one gymnast after another. I was a good doctor. At 54 he is expected to die in prison his victims vindicated. I think 175 years is exactly what he deserves. Olympic champion simone biles tweeting he will no longer have the power to steal our happiness or joy. The monster is behind bars but he had tons of people who let this happen. Which is why usa gymnastics now says in a statement it supports an independent investigation that may shine light on how abuse of the proportion described so courageously by the survivors of larry nassar could have gone undetected for so long and embraces any necessary and appropriate changes. But that may not be enough for olympic champion aly raisman. Who accused usa gymnastics of complicity when she spoke out at nassars sentencing last week. I have represented the United States of america in two olympics and have done so successfully. Both usa gymnastics and the United StatesOlympic Committee have been very quick to capitalize and success. But did they reach out when i came forward . No. Also Late Wednesday, a faculty athletic rep for Michigan State reportedly also resigning after saying she lost the heart and desire to support the universitys administration after speaking with president simon. Hoda. All right, kate thank you so much. Aly raisman is with us now exclusively. Aly, good morning. Good morning. You heard the sentencing up to 175 years. Do you think in your heart that justice was served yesterday . No. I mean its not something where you just instantly feel better. Yeah. You know we need to hold these organizations accountable. Usa gymnastics United StatesOlympic Committee, msu, they need an independent investigation. This is bigger than larry nassar. We have to get to the bottom of how this disaster happened. If we dont figure out how it did we cant lets talk about you. You walked in that courtroom and i was thinking about you standing there. Ive seen you on some of the biggest stages of the world with the eyes of the globe looking at you performing. On this day you stood in that courtroom. How does that experience compare to the pressure that you felt in the olympics . You know i was talking about this with my mom and i said in that moment i almost felt like i was going to compete because at the olympics you block out everything. In that moment i blocked out everything. I forgotching me i forgot the media was over there, i forgot that larry was right there, and i just i just spoke and i felt like i really had to be strong. I feel a responsibility. But after, i will be honest i was sick. I almost passed out. I had the worst headache for hours. Even since then i still dont feel good now. Its very its hard to put into words, but it makes me literally sick all the stress and the trauma of everything. But for that moment i had to be strong. But im very very exhausted from it. Was he what was he doing when you were speaking . He actually looked at me the whole entire time. Every time i made eye contact with him and even when i stared at him, he looked me in the eye the whole entire time. It was it was crazy. I did not expect that at all. When was the last time you saw him before that moment in court . The last time i saw him was at Training Camp in 2015. Ive seen him a lot on tv and online. Every time you see him, its just its crazy. But i did look at photos of him online before i went in there to mentally prepare myself. I didnt know how id feel. But when i walked in there being with this army of survivors, and even i didnt know most of these girls and these women, but i just felt an instant connection. We were hugging each other. We just we really are an army of survivors and this is just the beginning for us. Your words were so powerful. You say he deserves a life of suffering spent replaying the words delivered by this powerful army of survivors. And what struck me about your words, aly, was that they werent just said in that courtroom, those big womens marches, i was looking, there were signs they were quoting your words. One said i have both power and voice and im only just beginning to see them. We are a force. And i love the one that just said what aly raisman said. Were all here we have our voices were not going anywhere. You get emotional even thinking about that. I cant even put into words how much this means to me. I never, ever imagined this kind of support in my wildest dreams. I mean it just it is so incredible. I dont even have words. But i cant thank everyone enough for the support. It only motivates me to do even more. Speaking of words, dr. Nassar had some words after that and he said these were his words, no words to describe the depth and breadth of how sorry i am. I am shaken to the core. And then in a written statement, he said to the judge, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Do you think he even gets what happened what hes done . No. I dont think he understands. I mean the fact he wrote a letter to the judge a few days prior saying it was unfair and he shouldnt have to listen to all of us speak, and thats why in my statement i did call him out and say how dare you say this is hard for you. Imagine how all of us feel. I mean its just he deserves to suffer. Its disgusting what happened. Usa gymnastics has gotten rid of some people and announced some big internal investigation. Have they done enough . So i recently found out according to my knowledge, larry nassar did not have a medical license in texas, which is where we went to the ranch and trained. Its a National TeamTraining Center and the olympic Training Center. He wasnt licensed there . No according to my knowledge. So what does that say about usa gymnastics United StatesOlympic Committee. Whether they knew or didnt know thats a big problem. And we need to investigate how this happened. I mean how is that possible he doesnt have a medical license in texas . Why do you think usa gymnastics didnt hear you, didnt hear the others . What was the motivation not to do anything do you think . I have no idea. I think for so long well actually i think i do have an idea. For so long they put medals reputation and money over the safety of athletes. Even now you see the United StatesOlympic Committee, they just spoke out monday for the first time. They just released a statement for the first time. They have been quiet this whole time. So after you spoke in this courtroom and since then have you been been contacted by usa gymnastics . No i have not been contacted by anyone. No one reached out to say hey, what else happened . Nothing. They say they want an independent investigation right now but its easy to say that when theres so much pressure judgewith this leave your pain here and go dog . Ag i want to sure that never, ever happens again. You know i ended my statement that i hope everyone one day educated so that they will know how to see the warning signs of a predator so theyll never, ever have to see a predator. Im very passionate about making sure abuse never happens. Aly, you are strong and you are powerful. I love that you came to see us. Thank you. Lets go back over to savannah. Thank you, hoda and aly. And now we go to the breaking news. The president touching down in the swiss alps this morning where he is attending a key economic summit but its what he said about the russia investigation just before he left that has washington talking this morning. Nbcs keir simmons is in davos, switzerland, for us this morning. Keir good morning to you. Reporter savannah good morning. Even this far from home President Trump cannot escape the russia inquiry, but this trump does send an international message. I was here a year ago when the chinese president used this platform to claim international leadership. Now for the first time in almost two decades, a u. S. President has just arrived. President trump touching down in switzerland, here for an annual gathering of the worlds wealthiest. For the president , its a chance to put the focus back on the economy as Robert Muellers russia probe intensifies back in washington. At the white house wednesday, mr. Trump telling reporters he wants to cooperate with the p special counsel and will sit for an interview with mueller. Oh i will do it under oath. Reporter in the past the president calling an interview unlikely but his lawyers telling him it could happen within the next two or three weeks. Still, President Trump adamant neither he nor his campaign did anything wrong. Heres the story, just so you understand theres been no collusion whatsoever. Theres no obstruction whatsoever and im looking forward to it. Reporter Late Wednesday white house special counsel ty cobb clarifying the president s comments telling nbc news mr. Trump was speaking hurriedly before leaving for davos. Saying he expressed a willingness to testify subject to terms. For now the president heading high into the swiss alps taking part in the luxurious mountaintop summit many recent american president s have missed to avoid the optics back home of mingling with the global elite. The president will continue to promote fair economic competition and will make it clear that there cannot be free and open trade if countries are not held accountable to the rules. Reporter that America First pitch appearing to conflict with the message of bringing the world together. Speeches by indias Prime Minister frances president and germanys chancellor have all emphasized global trade. But after tax cuts and amid soaring markets, financial leaders will be listening intently when the president speaks friday. Ive been told its a pretty good speech thats been worked on you know a long time. Reporter others hoping this meeting will focus on social injustices celebrities like Cate Blanchett and elton john have flown in to advocate for refugees and against inequality. There are risks to this trip. President trump will come facetoface with the global elites hes often criticized and World Leaders hes appeared to insult but he will have a series of meetings including with the Prime Ministers of britain and of israel. Hoda and savannah the president who prides himself on doing deals is in a place where deals are done. Indeed. Keir simmons in davos, switzerland, thank you.

Her parents say she loved music, art, and wanted to be a nurse. She loved everyone. She never had a harsh word to say about anything or anyone. I took her to school and gave her a kiss and told her i loved her and she got out of the car. Reporter these four students were inside the school when the bloodshed began. When youre sitting in that classroom and you after hearing those gunshots whats going through your head at that point. The honest truth, the only thing going through my head was disappointment. Why this would kid ruin his life and other peoples life. Ethan said bullets flew in his direction. I was worried about getting out alive. I just knew that i needed to run. If he didnt hit me he didnt hit me but im guessing it was just luck. The lord was on my side at that moment. Reporter it was the 11th campus shooting in the u. S. So far this year. Have we as a nation become numb to these School Shootings . I feel like we kind of have in a way. Reporter missy jenkinssmith would know she was shot and paralyzed during a School Shooting in west paducah in 1997 two years before columbine. Shes now a counselor at a nearby school. The students that i work with are looking at School Shootings as normal. To me that was not normal and its scary how normal it is. Reporter for the parents of bailey holt normal seems very far off.

A Controversial Court case is under way in california and a judge has to decide if coffee should be added to a growing list of products that could potentially cause cancer. Nbcs jo ling kent has the story. Reporter california consumers are used to seeing cancer warnings. And if Coffee Makers including starbucks, lose a pending court case your morning cup of joe could be getting one too. My initial thought would be hmm, what does this mean . What is this about . Reporter its pauf proposition 65 a law requiring businesses to warn with chemicals that cause cancer birth defects or other reproductive harm. Coffee is in the hot seat because of acrylimide. It can be found in other common foods such as french fries, potato chips and bread. In coffee it shows up at around 6 parts per billion, which experts say is significantly less than in baked goods. But since so many people drink coffee every day, the plaintiffs argue it should be added to the danger list. Cancer researchers emphasize that most studies show coffee actually lowers the risk of many cancers, the opposite of what these warnings would suggest. What we found in our study was that coffee was associated with a reduced risk of cancer of the colon and rectum. Reporter and some coffee lovers dont seem too concerned. Electric cars can be causing cancer my cell phone can be causing cancer. I mean this day and age im wondering if palm trees can cause cancer. Reporter in a previous case the same plaintiffs won a settlement against potato chip makers. At least two defendants in the coffee case have already settled and posted warning signs by the coffee pot.

Ive just signed your death warrant. Earlier on today, we heard exclusively from threetime olympic Gold Medalist aly raisman. She described how she felt after she bravely confronted nassar in court to describe his crimes. Its hard to put into words, iterally sick all the stressrauma of everything. But for that moment i had to be strong. But im very very exhausted from it. She also accused usa gymnastics of enabling nassar. That organization now says it supports an independent investigation into how that abuse could have happened and gone undetected for so long. The president has arrived in switzerland to push his America First agenda at the World Economic forum. Nbcs chief White House CorrespondentHallie Jackson is traveling with the president. Haley, good morning. Reporter good morning to you. This alpine town is a particularly interesting place for this president to visit, not just because hes the first sitting u. S. President to come to the summit in nearly 20 years, but because, remember donald trump ran an a populist platform and davos her filled with global elites. So why is donald trump here . Well the person who often sees himself as a deal maker in chief is hoping to do exactly that. The president is meeting with World Leaders and business leaders. He has a dinner later tonight with europebased companies to talk more about investing back in the United States. Then he has aoneone today with er theresa may. That could get interesting given the president , remember just called off his trip to london next month. He will also meet later with the rwandan president , and that is something to watch given what the president did or did not say about african countries, remember in that very controversial immigration meeting at the white house just about two weeks ago. And even though donald trump is here in switzerland, he cannot escape the russia talk from back home as the special counsels russia inves interview with robert mueller. His lawyers say it could happen sometime in the next few weeks, but already theres a bit of a walkback or maybe a clarification from the president s inhouse lawyer. Ty cobb telling nbc news that the president has expressed a he was speaking as cobb said, hury yhurriebly before leaving for davos ng to have a busy few days there, hallie.

Theyre incredibly relieved to be in a safe spot and to being taken care of. I think that theyre going to be helpful in the trial, in the prosecution of this case. But were going to let them come to this on their own time. Reporter after a 17yearold victim escaped through a window the turpins were taken into custody as their frail, pale and thin children were rushed to local hospitals. These deplorable conditions were discovered inside their home in texas after they moved away. A former third grade classmate from the familys time in texas remembers one of the turpin children was often teased because her clothes would sometimes look as though they had been dragged through mud. I cant help but feel an overwhelming sense of guilt and shape. When the classmate your peers made fun of for smelling like poop quite literally had to sit in her own waste because she was chained to her bed. Althoughe like to believe that irapy that everything is going to be great, sometimes its going to be something that they struggle with for the rest of their life.

Aerie dropped photo shop four years ago and guess what it saw its sales climb. We are joined by two members of aeries Role Model Campaign rachel and iskar lawrence. Theyll both paid spokes people. Ladies good morning. Good morning. This is such an interesting and cool layout. The pictures are beautiful. Was ttrepidation . I mean its all good and well to say, you know i want to be body positive. Its another thing to say okay im doing it dont photo shop. Partly why i wanted to do this campaign was seeing the unbelievable beautiful images that were radiating inner light and inner love and besides that shes gorgeous on the outside too. So i felt like okay im safe. But yeah first of all, ive never done a shoot in my underwear before so i was terrified. And ifortable a little bit. And i was scared that what if i didnt l images. And i honestly pulled her aside halfway through the shoot and said i dont know what to do im feeling insecure. Im supposed to be being confident. And we had this amazing moment where she told me to love myself. The real message is women supporting women. Her being able to come to me. We made frien having that connection and thats a message the young women out there to be there for your friends and tell them that theyre beautiful no matter what. How did you get that confidence . Were you born with it . I think finding it is something a lot of young girls struggle to find. Definitely. I think it relates to so many people who feel like theyre not good enough and its perpetuated by perfected images in the media or messages that were shown that we have to look a certain way, act a certain way. I myself struggled with eating disorders for a long time, for six years. Until i started practicing self care and realizing that my value and worth was not based in a size it was not based in what i look like thats how i started gaining my confidence. To mean to young people if its not Just One Company that does it or that we mentioned they were not going to photo shop images anymore. What if we saw this real imagery across advertising. What kind of impact do you think that could have . Oh my gosh i really hope that that happens. I hope this is a little seed that spreads exhausted from trying to keep up with my industry and trying i have carpets all weekend for the grammys and im intimidated and insecure. What i wish i could do is say on these posts, hey, this took three hours. Im exhausted. I have filters on this. And i think this campaign is really special because its allowing me to have this one day and then hopefully a lot more where i get to say this is who i really am. And this is all following in the middle of this whole me too movement. I would imagine you guys are hearing from girls, young girls saying wow, give us just a Little Something of what the impact already is. Its so special. One of my favorite things is when we go on tour and i actually get to go to campuses and colleges. Im so excited for you to come along to those. I didnt know that. Women will come up and say this has changed my life. Ive never been able to walk into a store and feel like i was repr feel like i could actually be the model in the picture, see some cellulite, see some rolls. It makes me feel like im good enough. That and that became a movement from a campaign and i think thats what were talking about here that empowered female movement where you dont let your insecurities hold you back. I think every woman can relate to how much Mental Energy we spend about ourselves thinking should i look a different way, should i match this picture. Imagine what we could all do if we spent that energy doing something productive. Loving ourselves better yes. You guys thank you so much. Thank you so much. Love you guys. Nice to see you both. Coming up next carson is going old school. Hes going to explore his favorite era. I call it tdaly era. Hes going with diddy looking back to the heyday of hiphop. First, this is dszat im excited for this one. 8 40 were back with our special series tag us thursday. We are shining a light on people projects and inspirationing we follow on media. Today is throwbackthursday and we posted some of your favorites. Now carson is going to share his. I am, guys. For my Throwback Thursday pick i wanted to take a closer look at my favorite era have hiphop, which happens to be here in new york city. I moved here in the mid90s, the late 90s and this citys soundtrack was being supplied by incredible artists. They were just getting their start then. Were talking about notorious b. I. G. Busta rhymes all happening right here in the five boroughs all making this town the mecca of music. It was all a dream i used to read word up magazine the notorious b. I. G. Jay z, a tribe called quest, naz. The world is yours the mid90s are when hiphops biggest names got their start, unifying new york citys five boroughs with one art form. After we started bumping into each other, making records with each other, it was just the success that we were having as new york, it brought the whole state and the whole city together unified through hiphop because this was our industry. So like in nebraska they have corn you know. In new york we have hiphop. Now sean combs is a mogul, his own clothing line alcohol labels tv network and spot as a panelist on the fox music competition network. I want to tell you, you did your thing with that rendition of the song. Thank you so much. Back then he was puff daddy launching bad boy records, with the voice of breakout superstore the notorious b. I. G. Take me back to when you first heard biggie. How did that come across your desk ofrr in your world. A writer from the source magazine had sent me a demme tape. When i heard biggie my life was what was it . Was it a line was it a style, was it his flow was it his voice . It was the feeling. It was this feeling that his voice gave. It was the pain that he was going through. You could hear it you could feel it. It made you uncomfortable. It was so raw. And then he was so poetic. Such a savant. What was his flow like once you were north dakota stewedin the studio . Two takes at the most. No mistake, no technology no computers, nothing, raw. Just analog go. Go. Have you ever seen anything like it since . No. On that level . Ive never seen anything like it. Ive never seen anybody walk in and drop like hypnotize from top to bottom in ten minutes. Its all good the poetry and its influence are still on display throughout brooklyn. Along with the childhood homes of artists like biggie and jay z, theyre part of what make new york city streets and their landmarks an openair music museum.
