The horses are staying away. You are there for the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby, not just the hats. She is going to mention weather later as well. Maybe. We do want to get right to todays top story that, is the woman who is at the center of the Donald Sterling controversy is now speaking out. Jenna is following this one for us. Good morning. V. Stiviano claims she is sterlings personal assistant and knows that hes hurt right now. It was one week ago that the racist remarks first came to light when tmz posted audio of the conversation between stiviano and the man believed to be sterling. He told her not to post pictures online of herself with africanamericans or to bring them to clippers games. He was fined 2. Amillion and given a lifetime ban by the nba. Meantime, stiviano is showing her face for the First Time Since the scandal broke. She spoke to Barbara Walters 20 20 last night. Through his actions, hes shown hes not a racist. Through his actions, hes shown to be a very generous and kind man. If he was a real racist, then why would he help the world the way that he has . I think he was overwhelmed by the situation. Are you in love with Donald Sterling . I love him. Im not sure thats what i asked. Are you in love . No, im not in love. You love him like a friend . I love him like a father figure. Stiviano said she thinks sterling should apologize. As far as the future of sterling and the clippers, the nba board of governors has already taken the first step to force the sale of the team. Amid all the controversy, the clippers face possible elimination tonight in game seven of the first round of the playoffs. Jenna, thanks.

At least 42 people were killed when ukrainian troops tried to take back that part of town from pro russian forces. We have a reporter on the ground in u crepe with mokraine with m. Authorities in ukraine say theyre trying to regain control of the eastern part of their country is not over. Despite the day of setbacks yesterday in which they lost two helicopters and in which the battleground to a halt, they say that this morning they renewed the attack short of the separatist strong hold town.

Crowds of pro andant i didnt remember Ukrainian Forces running battles in the street ending up with a major building burning down killing 30 people, maybe more. Most of them pro russians. And, of course, that raises the specter of how moscow and president putin is going to react. He has claimed repeatedly the right to intervene in defense of ethnic russians and the russian speakers here in ukraine. He has the tanks to do it. The question is whether he will see this as his opportunity. People in one small town in minnesota are extraordinarily grateful this morning for one woman who saw something unusual and decided to call police about it. According to authorities, it was her quick actions that helped stop a teenager from attacking his school. Now she is speaking out. Heres our justice correspondent pete williams. 6 00, 6 30 is when i noticed him walking. Reporter police in minnesota tell us the potentially dangerous plot was discovered thanks to an alert resident who turns out to be chelsea shellhos. She was home tuesday night with her cousin washing the dishes when she saw a young man walk through her backyard and enter one of the Storage Units nearby. So she called the police. The fact that he was sitting here struggling for ten minutes trying to opt storage unit, something didnt feel right about it. I said lets just call. I thought he was like breaking in. And then he got in there really quick and shut the door. So i honestly thought he was making drugs. Reporter the 17yearold they found inside was in the final stages of planning a deadly attack at his own school. In court documents, investigators say he got seven guns and built six working bombs. Members of the bomb squad, they said, were shocked by the amount of bomb making chemicals and components he got. Ladue had been planning the attack for nine months including to 180 entries of pages in his notebook. The plan was to shoot and kill his sister and parents at home, light a fire nearby to distract first responders, set off the bombs at school and shoot students as they fled. Grateful parents have started sending flowers to the two women who became concerned enough to call the police at just the right moment. For today, pete williams, nbc news, washington.

Health Officials Say the infected person left saudi arabia a week ago on april 24th, stopping in london before flying to chicago and then taking a bus to indiana. By then the traveler was in an emergency room with shortness of breath, cough, and fever. Friday officials confirmed it is mers. While they say the general population is not in danger, they are working to track down anyone who may have crossed paths with the infected person. There has not been a clear case of person to person transmission outside of the Health Care Setting yet. I think we need to keep this in perspective. Reporter the symptoms are similar to the flu and it is passed through close personal contact. Doctors say there is no specific treatment, cure, or vaccination against the virus. The cdc wants people to know that the risk of transmission of this virus is relatively low. Most people who come into contact with it still wont get it. Nonetheless, a sobering reminder of what a small world we live in and the fact that new bacteria and viruses may only be a plane ride away. For today, dr. Nancy snyderman, nbc news.

All right, assuming the rumors are true, and George Clooney is getting married, it is probably safe to say casino owner steve wynne will not be invited to the wedding. The actor and the mogul are involved in a pretty nasty spat over president obama. More now from nbcs Stephanie Goss. Reporter its the vegas fight night that wont end n one corner world famous hollywood actor George Clooney and in the other, billionaire casino mogul steve wynne. The public battle started last month when the two reportedly got into a shouting match over politics during dinner at wynnes vegas hotel.

Wynne denied the story in an interview with Bloomberg Television and said alist actors like clooney are mollycoddled. They have a world view that is, therefore, everything should be given to everybody because everything has been given to them. I didnt call the president an. [ beep ] and he didnt call me a [ beep ] he was a little into the tequila. Reporter now the latest round, clooney wont back down. In a statement to people magazine, he insists the original story is true and maintains he had not one shot of tequila. Clooney writing, he says im mollycoddled. I would suggest that mr. Wynne look to his left and right and find anyone in his sphere that says anything but yes to him. A lot of times celebrities are like the rest of us. When they feel strongly about something, they feel the need to Say Something about it and set the record straight and thats whats happened here. Reporter and his final blow, you cant make up stories when eight people who are not on your payroll are sitting around you as witnesses. A knockout blow, probably not. Maybe Public Opinion should just call the fight. For today, Stephanie Goss being, nbc news, new york.

Were back with the final day of our love your selfie series. Its about loving the skin youre in. According to a survey, women who are mothers are more likely than those who arent to speak negatively about their appearance. But there is one woman who is making it her mission to change the way moms feel about their bodies after the baby arrives. Chicago based photographer ashley wellsjackson photographs lots of women for a living. Beautiful, gorgeous, stunning women. Who we thought were perfect. And they would pick themselves apart. At first, ashley couldnt relate. It was a problem i was able to identify but not something i identified with. All of that changed last year. On her wedding day, she found out she was pregnant with twin girls. Only to learn soon after one of the twins would not survive the pregnancy. I felt broken and damaged and at a point in my life where i wanted to be celebrating my body, i was dealing with the fact that it took it away. Ashley went into preterm labor at 24 weeks and had an emergency c section and five months after her daughter came home from the hospital, ashley stood on the other side of her lens and captured a single image of herself. I wanted to put a picture out there of myself to help myself cope and to hopefully help other women. And from this single photo, the fourth trimester body project was born. Ashley posted on facebook looking for other moms willing to bear all for her photo documentary. I wanted to, you know, help promote that idea that whatever extra lines or sags or whatever else may be there or may not be there, either way, its fine. And the fourth trimester body project changed my life. I no longer immediately look at myself in the mirror and say my stomach looks terrible in this shirt. My hips are enormous. I say im a woman. Im beautiful. It really felt amazing. It felt empowering. Its given me new confidence. And my body has grown for two people. It is something to be really, really proud of. You learn that to enjoy the journey that ive been on. That got me to this destination. Im not photo shopped. This is real life. This is motherhood. All of the women that come to us are nervous to some degree. Some are scared. But there is a real transformation that happens from the time they walk in. And until they leave. It is thransformation and th bravery that helped ashley with her own healing process. Bringing all the battle wounds and stripes and scratches and scars showing that everybody is beautiful. This could be one of the biggest struggles for women. They try so hard to make things so much easier.

Right now, heres more of the today show. Good morning. Its saturday, may 3, 2014. Heres a look at todays top stories. Breaking silence, the woman at the center of the Donald Sterling scandal is speaking out about the clippers owner, their relationship and why she says she doesnt believe hes a racist. This with the clippers facing possible elimination in the playoffs tonight. Moving on from tragedy, one couple said nothing was going to stop them from getting married and they meant it, even if a force of nature was stronger than anything they could have ever imagined. And the princes visit the king. A stop at graceland for william and harry as their tour of memphis rolls on now the focus for the royals turns to their long time friends wedding. Good morning, everyone. Welcome back on a saturday morning. Nice to you have all with us. Today is, of course, the running of the Kentucky Derby. Dylan is at Churchill Downs this morning and she has changed into yet another fabulous hat, number three for the morning. Well check in with her if a little bit. We begin with the woman behind the Donald Sterling scandal. Finally opening up in a televised interview. V v. Stiviano thinks he should apologize. Her interview comes with the clippers appearing for a do or die game in game seven of the playoffs tonight. We have more. Reporter after getting nipped by a single point thursday night by the golden state warriors, its win or go home tonight for the clippers. With the teams future in the balance, v. Stiviano took to abc to defend the teams embattled owner Donald Sterling. Is Donald Sterling a racist . No. I dont believe it in my heart. Through his action, hes shown to be a very generous and kind man. If he was a real racist, then why would he help the world the way that he has . Its an argument that hasnt persuaded commissioner adam silver who has demanded sterling sell the team that he owned since 1981. I will urge the board of governors to exercise its authority to force a sale of the team and well do everything in my power to ensure that that happens. The board has taken the first step in making it happen, a Committee Voting unanimously to pursue charge thats would cost sterling his franchise. Once sterling receives those charges, hed have five days to respond in writing. Followed within 10 days by a full hearing conducted by the fellow owners. If three fourths of the owners find him guilty, the commissioner takes over the assets and management of the clippers and sell the team. But sterling could sue the league. That is not far fetched. He can stop the process in its tracks if he wins even a temporary injunction. He would have to show and convince a judge that losing an nba franchise constitutes an irrepairable harm. He may have an argument that it is. Well see what happens. Magic johnson, considered by many the frontrunner in any prospective new owner sweepstakes should sterling sell, changed his no interest to this. I will be owning an nba team some time. It has to be the right situation. If the clippers are the right situation, of course, its one of the premier franchises. But the distance from here to there and the 81yearold sterling reportedly battling Prostate Cancer still stands in the way. For today, mike tie eastboundy, los angeles. Lets get you caught up with the other top stories. Jenna is following those for us. Good morning. We begin with the latest out of ukraine. Dozens of people have been killed in violent street battles between supporters and opponents of russia in southern ukraine. We have the very latest from outside the white house this morning. She joins us now. Good morning. Jenna, good morning you to. The crisis in ukraine is growing worse by the day. Friday was the deadliest in months. Officials in the black seaport city of odesa tell nbc news that 42 people were killed when riots broke out between pro russian and pro kiev protesters, moef died after being trapped in a burning building. Now there were reports of more fierce fighting to day in the eastern part of the country. The one piece of good news here is that pro russian insurgents in Eastern Ukraine released the seven military observers and five ukrainian assistants who had been held captain ive for a week. All this comes as president obama and the german chancellor held a meeting on friday and issued a stern warning to moscow. They would move forward with sector sectoral sanctions which are the sanctions against broad sectors of russias economy if they interfere with the may 25th elections and if the situation on the ground continues to worsen. So far russian president putin hasnt been swayed by sanctioned at all. Theyve mostly been targeted at individuals. The u. S. Says they will not use military force to intervene. Thank you. The first case of a deadly virus known as mersa which is common in the middle east is in the u. S. A man in indiana tested positive for the virus.

We are learning this morning that the 15yearold boy who survived a flight from california to hawaii in the planes wheel well is no longer in hawaii. Officials confirm he did leave the state but did not say how or whether. The teens father arrived in hawaii earlier this week to bring his son home. But there were reports the two were not allowed to see each other. And finally, take a look at these massive walls of ice. Not antarctica. Youre looking at the Eastern Shore of michigan in may. What happened is winds along the shores of Lake Superior pushed ice further inland than usual. It seems obvious to me. Residents are calling it an ice tsunami. Look at this. They say they have never, ever seen anything quite like it. Mother nature has been treacherous this year. Thats an understatement in may. Thank you. Jenna, graceland is im sorry. You said thank you. And then there is a teleprompter. I read it like an idiot. Just keep reading whatever you see right there. Thats a good one. Very nice. Anyway. Graceland is no stranger to royalty. Its the home of the king, after all. And when two princes visit the king, you can bet huge crowds will follow. Kristen dal gren is live with the latest on william and harrys visit. Good morning. Good morning, lester. You know, i imagine the princes are still sleeping at this hour after attending a rehearsal dinner at a local country club last night. A lot of people here hoping that today is their day to get a glimpse. This is a town that is smack dab in the midst of royal fever. The princes at the home of the king. William and harry took a spin an Elvis Presleys mansion friday, complete with the audio tour head phones. They arrived under high security giving crowds just a glimpse for those gathered outside the gates, that is exactly what they came for. The royal family is here. William and harry are in town for the wedding of their good friend, london club owner guy pelley, the holiday inn heiress later today. At the polio club, workers were seen putting up a massive tenlt. Meantime, at the rehearsal dinner at the Memphis Country Club friday night, a black motorcade could be seen going in behind closed gates. Still, residents are hopeful the princes might at some point mingle with the masses. I dont know what we would say to him. Just welcome to america. And while there is disappointment by some that william is traveling without wife kate are you disappointed that kate didnt come . Yes. We didnt hear the same disappointment that harry is solo off his recent split from his girlfriend. Hes good looking. Who wants to marry a prince . Everybody. It seems like a lot of memphis belles and their moms have one dream in mind. Tell my daughter that princes just i dont exist on the disney channel. We love all things royal. Now the hash tag royals in memphis is trending in twitter. People spotting where they spot royalty. All are expected at the wedding later on tonight. But where they go between now and then anyones guess. A lot of people will be watching, lester. All right. Thank you very much. Ive got it together by the way. Lets get a final check of the weather this morning. That threw me off. Erica. Well go back out to Churchill Downs for final preparations for the Kentucky Derby. Good morning. Good morning. Im wearing the double wide now. This is more of a skuculpt hatnator. The rathers really add the width to the hat. I had vertical last time. Now were going straight up horizontal. At Churchill Downs, the track is quiet now. The horses are done warming you. Some races will get under way later on this morning, another hour or so. All is qui he right now. Of course the big race getting underway at 6 24 this afternoon. It is going to be a dry track this year. Much different than the conditions we had last year. You know, it rains at about 48 of the last 139 Kentucky Derby races. This year, its 140th, the coldest was down in the 40s. The warmest, may 2nd at 94 degrees. The wettest was in 1918. We are going to see ideal conditions for the horses and everybody who is coming out for all the festivities today. We are looking at really not a whole lot going on besides partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the lower 70s. It does look fantastic. Despite rain in florida, most of. And outside we have the clouds back, a sign that ocean air conditioning is kicking off the weekend with 50s outside right now and as we head toward the afternoon, should see low 70s around san jose, upper 60s to near 70 around the peninsula, low 60s for San Francisco and to the north bay, 7 in santa rosa. You see livermore, 75 degrees. Fantastic weather for the livermore wine country festival. Those numbers in the mid 70s today. Breezy at times as we head into the afternoon. Trending cooler as we head into sunday and monday. And that is your latest forecast from louisville, kentucky. Back to you. All right. Thank you. People in the tornado ravaged towns in the middle of the country are working around the clock this weekend trying to recover from that devastating earlier in the week. For one couple, that means moving forward by taking their tragedy and turning it into a new beginning. We have their story. As a powerful tornado tore across arkansas last weekend, angie ril, a schoolteacher, was home alone, hiding in a cloz tote wa closet to wait out the storm. The tornado took away almost everything that angie and her fiance had in life. Im glad shes here. She survived. Thats all that matters. The couple was planning on getting married next week. But if the tornado taught them anything, its that life is too short to wait. May you always hold each other and give strength to each other to hold on during the storms. So the couple decided the perfect time to tie the knot was with their friends who gathered friday to help them clean up debris. You may kiss the groom. No fancy clothes, no music, just a bottle of wine, some wedding cake, and a few dozen helping hands to sort through the rubble. There is the first wedding i ever wore work boots to. Their friends found documents, photographs, and pieces of randy and angies lives scattered across the hillside. This is her home and were here to help her rebuild. The newlyweds found the power of friendship. Angie is my best friend and there is no place id rather be than helping her start her new life. I think that everybody is feeling the love from our community and from the people around us. It helps comfort no matter what the extent of the loss. Angie and randy may not have much else at the moment, but think do have faith, hope, and love. For today, charles hatlock, nbc news. Still to come on today, could she be the next superstar .
