inclusive iraqi government could open the door to more u.s. action. mike sic is in washington this morning. the president providing details of his plan to deal with the islamic state group with congressional leaders. is this just a formality or is there going to be some wheeling and dealing? >> everybody wants to be consulted. the question, will congress have a vote before it. the smart money bets no. the congressional leaders don't want to put their members through a tough vote just days before election day. a day before he goes before the american public to sell listen plan an expanding military operations against the islamic state group, the president begins the hard sell at home and abroad. >> saying it's time to go on offense against the islamic state group, president obama will meet with congressional leaders today to begin to sell his game plan. that meeting is expected to be a preview of the pitch he'll outline to the american people wednesday in a major speech. >> the principle goal is to make sure people understand what the clear stake is for the american people in our nation. >> that strategy could be an extended campaign in iraq, lasting beyond an obama presidency and spilling into syria, where isis based. some say that's where the u.s. needs to strike. >> the head of the isis snake is not in iraq. it's in syria. if you want to kill the snake, you got to cut off his head. >> president obama insists the u.s. won't go at it lean and ruled out american boots on the ground. some in congress say they should be involved in military escalates decisions in the i.s. >> cronk has to be involved. you can't vote in 2001 and say that allows us to declare war in 2014. >> if there's an expansion, we can start making decisions about what sort of congressional role or authorization is required, if any. >> meanwhile in iraq, a new government has been sworn in. monday evening, mr. obama spoke to iraq's new prime minister to congratulate him on the new government. it's a government that will be more inclusive to kurds and sunnis. secretary of state john kerry will head to the middle east today to add arab states to the effort. he is expected to meet with leaders this week to shore up financial and military support for an enemy located at their doorstep. >> as we build this coalition, i want to underscore that almost every single country on earth has a role to play in eliminating the isil threat and the evil it represents. >> a lot of people talk about a war weary american public and that is true as far as american combat troops on the ground is concerned. this new poll from the washington post supports airstrikes. 71 support support them in iraq, up 17% from last month. 65% of those polled support airstrikes in syria. >> what is the administration doing to shore up support for the president's plan overseas? >> secretary kerry begins his trip today so saudi arabia, considered the lynch pin to unity among the persian gulf nations and forming this coalition the president said is so important. it's going to be a tough sell there for kerry. the saudis have been very upset by u.s. policy, getting into this mess to begin with. they think president obama should not have backed off his view once the syrians crossed that red line last year to initiate airstrikes against the assad government. the white house said that is a completely different scenario. the secretary of defense as well as lisa monaco, the top official at the white house for counter terrorism policy. >> u.s. airstrikes continue to target the islamic state group as the country marks the milestone, a new unity government. it had been a key demand from the u.s. >> under intense pressure from the american, threatening to withdraw support for the peshmerga and fighting the islamic state fighters, the government was signed up for at least the first three months. it appears the conditions have been met, to get a budget, be a centralized power to spend it as they see fit, to get part of the oil and gas revenue. the new government is more sympathetic to the kurdish demands. they want peshmerga to be given more weapons, support and fighters paid a salary. at the moment, kyrgystan is a part of this great new government, but comes with a deadline. >> we could learn by the end of the week who killed or murdered those two american journalists. there are a number of reports out a that say officials are close to identifying the man that killed james foley and steven sotloff. >> another rebel group maybe making gains in carving out an islamic state in nigeria. there are reports that the group in iraq and syria is advising boko haram in northern nigeria. coming up, we'll speak with former bush advisor about the islamic state fight and

facilitating the kidnapping of tourists in yemen. >> a new video showing a now former nfl player's violence against his wife. >> ray rice has been fired, some asking how could the nfl not have seen that video showing him hitting his then fiancee in the face. we have more. >> there certainly are big questions about what the league knew about this video as the nfl concluded its first weekend of play with monday night football. 500 miles away near baltimore, a somber ravens coach john harbaugh was talking about the video that everyone is talking about that may have ended ray rice's career. >> it changed things, of course. it made things a little different. >> ravens coach john harbaugh talking about new footage of miss running back brutally punching his future wife in the face. he apologized. >> my actions were inexcusable and that's something i have to live for -- ever to live with the rest of my life. >> and surprising to some, his wife did, too. >> i do deeply regret the role i played in the incident that night, but can say that i am happy that we continued to work through it together. >> harbaugh indicated the video made it clear who the aggressor was that night in atlantic city and what the ravens had to do about it. >> we had a meeting. it was not a long meeting, we came to the decision that we came to to release ray, and that's what we did. >> rice was two games away from completing his two game suspension. now based on this newly released tape, the suspense is indefinite. many are asking how much did the nfl and the ravens know. monday an nfl spokesman said no one in the league office had previously seen the tape, a point coach harbaugh reiterated from the ravens standpoint. >> it's something we saw for the first time today, all of us. >> tmz reported that the nfl does have access to the elevator video released monday. rice himself seemed to hint at this point at his press conference last july. >> i think roger goodell has everything that the court system has. >> reaction pouring in from around the country about monday's release of ray rice over a video that prompted his release. we'll have that four in our next hour. >> thank you very much. how big is this problem, domestic violence is huge and often hidden across america. unin in r. in every four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. more than 1 million women are affected each year. they say that number could be higher. every minute, 20 women are beaten by their partners. men are now victims, too. it is the leading cause of homelessness among families. 2,000 americans die from domestic violence each year, 14% of all homicides. in young black women more likely to die at the hands of their partners than from everything else. >> just startling. coming up, we'll speak with former nfl agent about ray rice and get his take on the team's response. >> penn state students are celebrating after the ncaa rolled back its bans on the nittany lions being able to play in the postseason stemming from the jerry sandusky sexual abuse scandal. the university has made improvements over the last two years. >> parents are not sure how bad things are going to get with hundreds of children coming down to thent row virus. >> this hasn't been seen much over the course of decades, so there's really no data on the strain. the c.d.c. has nothing to go off of. they are taking some of this enterovirus that has infected children and looking at it at the lab here in atlanta. so far, not a lot of data collection on it. let's listen to parents. >> he was unresponsive, laying on the couch and couldn't speak to me, was turning white and had blue lips. >> it look like his heart was pumping out of his chest. immediately we took him to the emergency room. >> to go from a cold to being probably minutes away from death, that's kind of scary. >> there are 10 million to 15 million cases each year and over 100 strains, but this particular strain very rare and little known about it. >> so rare, but do we know why this particular strain is making the rounds? >> unfortunately, at this point, we do not. there is no information, not enough data yet. the c.d.c. is working to find exactly why this outbreak has collected right in the middle of the country, actually, and a few actually in the state of georgia, though not a lot. they are expecting to see quite a few more as we get into those winter months. right now, no one really knows, del. >> this has parents concerned. no cure for the strain, just as common as the common cold. how do health officials hope to stop it? >> right now, old fashioned wash your hands, find a corner if you're a kid. if you are a parent with a child that has flu like symptoms or common cold symptoms, keep them home. that's what the c.d.c. and doctors say. don't risk it. keep them home and make sure their hands are clean and they're not wiping their nose on counter tops or kitchen tables or their desk or anything like that, so common sense practice from parents and kids in the months that lead ahead until they figure out what this is and get a treatment doctors can give out in offices across the country. >> live in that he didn't this morning, thank you very much. >> home depot is confirming a massive hack on its payment systems. customers who shopped in the u.s. and canada could be affected. the breach may be tied to russian hackers. home depot is working to if i can their system. >> severe flooding turning deadly in the south and southwest and there are concerns it could get worse. >> erica pitzi has been tracking the story, phoenix breaking the record with a few inches of rain. >> three inches may not sound like much, but that's the amount the arizona capital usually getsar for july, august and september combined. the phoenix airport recorded 3.9 inches of rain, breaking the record set in 1933. >> oh, my god. oh, my god. >> the southwest still soaking from remnants of hurricane norbert, the storm causing high water rescues from colorado to california. >> rivers going across the freeway within a matter of minutes. >> in nevada, there are flash flood a, an indian

woman in her car as it was swallowed by floodwaters 12 feet deep pinned against a bridge. >> that's not something we want everyone to go through. when these storms hit, the best thing we can ever do is pull aside, wait it out and let the storm pass. >> the governor declared a state of emergency monday as historic rainfall overwhelmed parts of arizona. record breaking rains closed highways and schools, while turning regular roads into raging rivers. the southwest was not the only area hit hard by floods. in virginia, rushing waters forced the evacuation of a day care center. firefighters rescued dozens of children by boat. >> going back to arizona, it turns out monday was the rainiest single day in the history of phoenix, where weather records go back to 1895, you guys. >> thank you very much. >> let's bring in meteorologist nicole mitchell. how much rain is on the way? >> it's starting to wane and shift. the last couple of days, we've had the monsoon flow for the last couple of months enhanced by the tropical storm. we've had anywhere from california up through the four corners region. this is palm springs yesterday, you were dealing with this, as well. this area doesn't soak that in moisture particularly well, so it only takes a couple of inches to get flooding going. you can see, even this morning, dealing with some spotty rain showers to fire up more into the afternoon hours. because of all the moisture yesterday, a little more on top of that, we have the flood watches, the darker greens from california up to colorado, a couple isolated areas, the red here in colorado, they are the warnings, that means you are dealing with it now. watch for that during the course of the day. sometimes there's not good drainage when the rain comes down. still watching for this in arizona, pretty well saturated, will add to the problem. the core of the shifting is in colorado, so it could be a rough commute in place like denver. this has kept temperatures blow average, 92 for today, we get back into average territory once the moisture starts to wind back down. that's not the only temperature story, a big cold front. i'll have more on that coming up. [ laughter ] >> nicole mitchell, thanks a lot. >> there is a new report out on the downing of that passenger flight over eastern ukraine. >> lisa stark is live in washington. >> investigators say makes air flight 17 broke up in midair over eastern ukraine after hit by high energy objects. details ahead. >> there is dramatic video of an amusement park disaster. a roller coaster catching fire,

day. >> why many americans are not doing enough to save for college. college. @ >> today's big number, $244 billion. >> that is how much americans have put away in college savings accounts, the savings plans networks say contributions have increased in the last few years, americans saving many for college every year. >> the average account has just over $20,000 in it. that's not enough to pay for one year at most public colleges. >> ukraine's president visiting forces in mariupol monday, petroshenco promising a deal. officials want to see if the ceasefire holds. >> dutch investigators have released initial report into what brought down malaysian airlines flight 17, crashing in july killing all onboard. lisa stark is in washington. good morning. you have covered aviation for a long time. what do you make of this first report. >> dutch investigators don't say it outright, but everything they found is consistent with a missile strike on this jetliner. investigators do say the malaysian jet broke up in midair. it came down suddenly, and was brought down by something "external" to the aircraft. pictures released by investigators show holes in the cockpit area and the forward fuselage. that could be caused by a missile that explodes right outside the jetliner and then sends shrapnel into the aircraft. according to the preliminary report released this morning, the damage appears to indicate that the aircraft was penetrated by a large number of high energy objects from outside the aircraft. investigators say the patterns of damage would not be expected from any nope failure of the aircraft, its engines or systems. this jet was flying at 33,000 feet over eastern ukraine when it came out of the sky in mid july. it was during fighting between the ukrainian government and a russian backed separatists. separatists have denied firing a missile at the aircraft. stephanie, the u.s. has accused them of shooting down the plane with a russian made missile. the investigation continues. >> that was suspected from the very beginning and this seems to confirm that. is there any indication about the time frame in which this all happened? >> it happened very, very quickly. according to investigators, there was no distress call, no apparent alarm in the cock pits, no warnings in the cockpit that anything was going wrong. we do know that the crew acknowledged from ukrainian air traffic controllers a turn. they were told to turn. they acknowledged that. when controllers tried to contact them four seconds later, there was no response from the cockpit. three seconds after that, the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder quit. we have a picture of the plane flying through the air and suddenly heading toward the ground. >> very suddenly. now that they've released this initial report, what's next, lisa? >> ditch investigators and other investigators really need to get back on the scene. they've had only a few preliminary looks because of all the fighting of course in that area. we should mention this isn't just about wreckage. it's about the nearly 300 people who lost their lives. we don't know how many bodies have been recovered, how many people identified. this morning, the malaysian prime minister said they need full access to that site to get those human remains. they need to get back on the ground there. dutch investigators want to do that and expect to wrap up a final report on this disaster within about one year. >> thank you. lisa stark for us in washington. >> it has been one month since michael

system is going to bring big temperature swings across the country. >> what have we got, nicole. >> look at you throwing me under the bus this morning. a lot of people are not going to be excited about this. we've got a lot of 70's saw the ward, 50's and 60's northward. not uncommon this time of year, billings, 53. we had a high of 89 degrees. that will be about as close as we get to the warm side today, so ahead of the front, 80's and 90 said, but a strong system brewing in the midwest is going to bring strong storms. we'll have more on that detail coming up. behind that, 20-30 degrees cooler, even in some cases, 40 degrees cooler if you add up two days. billings yesterday at 89, today we might get into the mid 50's from where we are now, tomorrow in the 40's, so that's almost a 40-degree drop in just a couple days. ahead of that, still quite warm. memphis at 92 and the as the system moves along, bringing this chance for showers and storms, look what that temperature does for minneapolis. i would say welcome to fall, but we're not there. >> it's football weather. i threw you under the tailgate bus. how does that sound? >> ok, del. >> president obama taking his case to

plans for dealing with the islamic state. tomorrow the president will address the nation and is sending secretary of state john kerry to saudi arabia to win over support there. >> brad blakeman is a former aid to president george w. bush and joins is live this morning. good morning. the republican senators have been calling for tough action for quite some time, so on the republican side, it is time for the party to put up or shut up? >> it depends what the president's strategy is. just last week, he said he didn't have a strategy. the republicans are wait to go hear what the president is offering the american people to keep us safe. if the plan is of a scope and strategy and time table and most importantly, are we doing this alone, do we have allies, what is the cost of it? republicans are receptive to the president's action to keep the american people safe, provided that it makes sense to do so at this time, and not a go it alone strategy -- >> the arguments when the president said he didn't have a specific strategy, which really drew an awful lot of criticism on capitol hill and some say rightfully so, the call was to do something. now it's do something and let's be specific about the something we are going to do. >> that's right. we have to be smart and make sure what we are doing is going to actually solve the problem for america and allies. just doing something is not good enough. i was disappointed with republicans when they said that. that's not what we should be doing when we commit troops and assets to the american treasury and more importantly, if there are troops involved. there has to be a well thought out strategy that not only talks about the end game, but also talks about the future beyond what we may do in a short term. >> on the democratic side, if the president wants congressional buy-in, doesn't he need to listen to the republican leadership? >> he absolutely should. look at the poll that you just reported on your program earlier, over 70% of the american people feel strikes should be done. that shows that there's broad support for some action to be taken. the president would be well served in getting republicans' bipartisan report for action. >> 2014 is an election year. are there election year implications with regard to handling i.s. and could that hurt republicans? >> the president has been political certainly in his decision on stalling immigration. we hope that the president isn't going to be political in his decision to keep america safe and go after isis. >> if congress fails to act, should the president go it alone? >> well, it depends what the congress is asked to do. certainly i believe the president has the inherent power to act to keep america safe in and of itself under his executive authority. the question is will the president do that. it should be unnecessary for the president to do that. the mission should be defined and we should have bipartisan support to keep america safe. >> as always, thanks very much. >> the u.s. government can't confirm al shabab's claims that four americans are among the victims of its latest bomb attacks in somalia. 12 were killed when a suicide bomber targeted troops near mogadishu. the attack comes after a u.s. air strike killed the rebel group's leader. >> in chile, 10 people were injured after a bomb exploded in santiago.

robert ray outside emery hospital in atlanta. this new patient will be arriving there today. what's in store for him? >> the new patient will arrive here in the next couple hours, we're told by emery university hospital officials. we are told that this person is coming from sierra low i don't even in west africa. they will arrive at dobbins air force base and just like the other two patients, dr. brantley and nance writebol, will be put in an ambulance and coming here to the hospital. as far as what's in store for the patient? , that patient will not receive the experimental serum zmapp. they ran out. the doses are out. this patient will go into an isolation unit here. the monitors will be -- the vitals will be monitored. there will be possibly an experimental blood serum from a person who has already been treated for ebola and survived. that may occur. we don't know whether this is a female or male until that patient arrives. officials told us when they get the consent of that person after he or she goes into the isolation unit, they can put out the name, the age, where the person is from, whether an aid worker, a doctor, so some details, we won't know until that patient arrives in atlanta. >> ebola experts gathered at a medical conference in washington yesterday. what did they have to say about their homes for dealing with this epidemic. >> that conference was focused on some of the trials, the experimental vaccine trials that are going on, and also international aid. they're hoping that more international groups come together to try and fight this and stop it from spreading, but let's listen to what one of the doctors said yesterday. >> i'm myself certainly hoping that, you know, this is the last large heartbreak, because in the future in terms of ebola here at least, we will have options to add to all the tools that we already have. i think it can only help bring the next one under control even more rapidly. >> a lot to learn right now, as these doctors met in washington and they're really hope to go amp up more boots on the ground over in west africa and the studies to be more intense in the u.s. and around the world. >> robert ray live for us in

restored to all but 60,000 customers. the damage from the storm was one of the worst ever seen, toppled trees and power lines. crews from out of town have been helping and working around the clock to restore power. it was so bad that yesterday, dozens of schools were closed. i'm told that some of them will reopen today. this was something that they didn't think would be so bad, it took them by surprise. it could still be one more day before everyone is back on the grid. >> our customers are extremely patient for the first 48 hours, but we get into the third day of a storm event like this, we recognize that we're racing against the customer's expectations and our expectations to do it as fast as we can, but safety is a really important piece. >> taking safety seriously in this situation, the metro area may not be out of the woods yet. weather forecasters are predicting another round of severe weather, that that's headed our way, so that could get in the way of efforts to restore energy. stephanie. >> there's another thing going on in detroit. in an hour, testimony, as you know resumes in the bankruptcy case there. what are we expecting today on that front? >> yeah,

taking a stance on pro or anti guns, simply saying it's not the place to have the guns at that particular time. >> a boy stumbled across a sword from the down of civilization. he found it stoop to go wash his hands in the river. he and his father are going to be given a reward. the soared is 10 inches, designed, it is a practical and decorative sword. they believe it was likely used for civil ceremonies more than anything else, not necessarily to kill anybody. >> dates back to the first chinese dynasty, so it's really old. >> i came in the second chinese dynasty, so i don't remember a sword like that. >> ray rice kicked out of the nfl after that new video surfaced showing what really happened inside that elevator altercation with his wave. >> what the nfl really new and when they knew it. >> scientists digging in the dirt say they've uncovered something exciting about when life on earth first existed. the details are just ahead in today's discoveries. >> they thought they had a burglar. a thief caught on camera, this guy, very big, very furry. >> time now for were you ever today's discoveries. swelling. >> gists finding new evidence of how long life existed on earth say they spotted soil in india with oxygen levels high enough for early life forms to breathe. >> it dates back 3.2 billion years, meaning life go ahead have existed 60 million years earlier than scientists previously thought. >> what type of life could live in those conditions? animals and plants didn't evolve until years later. >> ray rice is out of a job and the nfl, cut and suspended indefinitely by the league, this after that new footage showing rice knocking out his then fiancee unconscious. the incident has sparked a new discussion over domestic violence. >> when people get into a discussion about why she stays, it deflects from the greater issue, which is why does he beat her. on average, it takes a victim of domestic violence seven times, that's the average, seven times to leave an abuser. >> the nfl notified teams that a contract with ray rice would not be approved or take effect until he is rein stated by the league office. >> a former sports agent joins us. the nfl requested all the video of the incident. how are we only now hearing the nfl's reaction, and after it shows up on tmz. did they have the video or didn't they? >> that's the big question. i don't know that we'll know that for quite some time. >> do you think they would have the video. >> you almost think they would have had to, because the prosecutors should have had this video. if fmz were the only ones to have it, you have to question why. >> ray rice himself seems to suggest in a press conference that goodell had everything and access to everything. how bad does this look for the nfl, if it did have this video, only responding now that it's been made viral and public. >> this is a very difficult situation for the nfl. they're charged with an underreaction to this, now they probably overreacted or overreacted, reacted after something that came out that was more damning, which may get them in legal trouble with rice at this point. there's probably a middle ground somewhere here, but it has undermind a lot of credibility the league has put forward on this issue. >> the nfl said there's a six game suspension instead of the two game suspension that rice got. is that enough? why not have a zero tolerance policy against beating women? >> everyone should have that. let's start with that. there's no defense of that, but these are complicate cases and rice pled guilty to a case that had no criminal sanction to it, it would, punk his reward at the end, so he would be sort of a first time offender in this case. you don't want to throw the book and ban everyone for life on a first offense, the league couldn't operate under those circumstances. >> what about nfl players that are still playing, those that face felony charges, that have been convicted of charges? that's what a columnist at "u.s.a. today" asks this morning, ray mcdonald of the 49ers charged with domestic violence. a player from the carolina panthers guilty of assault. there's no video of these guys beating someone, but yet the facts are known. >> that's the inconsistency, rice took a plea that involved no criminal sanction, mcdonald faces charges and hardy has been found guilty but now appealing under a twist of north carolina law. the other two are playing and rice isn't. on some level at least from the judicial system's eyes, he's the least culpable. >> what does this mean for ray rice's $4 million contract. >> there's a loophole in the league's deal because he wasn't on the roster of game one he is not a vested veteran. the ravens have been able to use that not to pay him. i suspect he is shopping for lawyers to fight for the money he is owed this year. >> that decision will affect the women that is now his wife. >> absolutely. >> janaye palmer. >> >> think where she's being victimized, had to go through this several times. she was the victim and now this is money from her family taken from her on some level, too. it's a very difficult situation. these cases enormously complex. >> robert bolland, thanks a lot. >> back to you. >> something a little more leant. on top of the tennis world, winning last night. it was the first grand slam title for the 25-year-old. he was banned last year after every tested positive for stimulants. he this ha denied wrongdoing. >> you're guaranteed a breath taking view in costa rica when the festival of whales and dolphins kick off. they migrate to have their babies. if you're lucky, you might spot one. hey yogi, a seattle area family was surprised to find a black bear on their home security video. at first they thought they had a prowler who the tipped over the garbage can. the bear raided the garbage can for a little take out and what about boo boo, too. >> i love the accent. we have to bring in nicole mitchell. we have on going discussions about what to do when you encounter a bear. i camp a lot, so i've dealt with them since i was little. >> don't wrestle one like nicole did. >> i chased one and got our food back. don't do that at home. i did get the food back, but still. >> we are seeing a potent system brewing in the midsection of the country. also the rain in the southeast is moving out. this improved in the southeast, but look at this really brew up, so areas of flooding, easily places like iowa through wisconsin today, two or three inches, isolated spots even more. this moves into the great lakes tomorrow. as we continue out with this, this is the core of the rain, could be strong storms, wind and hail the primary threat with that, anywhere from nebraska through iowa. again up into maybe even wisconsin for the day today. i mentioned the temperature drops with this, not as extreme as it gets to the midwest, but parts of the north, just out of the rockies like i was saying, montana, 30 or 40-degree drop. some moisture that lingers into the day tomorrow, it's still summer, you could see a little snow mix in, in places like billings by tomorrow night. isn't that crazy? we just had the air conditioning on with 90-degree temperatures. >> i'm not going to go there nicole. >> not ready for this. >> i it was like a scene out ofa movie, but very real. thousands of chimney sweeps healed gathering in the small town in italy. it's the 33rd year they held the get together and 30,000 visitors take part in the festivities. they do stuff like that. i wish i had ash to rub in your face. >> straight ahead, police forces armed like the military. >> we'll take you inside an expo where police departments get their hands on high powered equipment and can train like the military. >> the most expensive video game ever made. we'll tell you about it coming up. up. >> i'm ali velshi, the news has become this thing where you talk to experts about people, and al jazeera

lines, al jazeera america's hard hitting... >> there blocking the door... >> ground breaking... >> truth seeking... >> we have to get out of here... award winning investigative documentary series... no refuge: children at the border only on al jazeera america >> president obama set to hold key meetings at the white house today laying out his battle plan against the islamic state group. the divide in washington about how to deal with fighters overseas. >> when someone you care about does wrong, you know, and faced with the consequences of doing wrong and rightfully so, it is tough. >> the baltimore raven sacking ray rice, while the nfl suspends him indefinitely over the video of him assaulting his fiancee, the questions facing the league over the 10. >> slenderman at the center of a new crime, a 14-year-old girl accused of trying to kill her family by setting her home on fire. why police say she did it. >> it is a huge day in the tech world, apple preparing to debut its latest damage get while people await a date with destiny. the most preordered video game in history. >> today, president obama hosting that crucial meeting at the white house set to discuss with congressional leaders that new plan to take on the islamic state group. it comes one day ahead of when the president plans to address the nation. >> in baghdad, iraqi lawmakers are putting together a new government with changes demanded by the white house and could be critical in the i i.s. group fight. how important is today's meeting with top congressional leaders? >> certainly congress is divided. it's not just the usually party divisions across the aisle. it's within the parties, as well. democrats want to back up the president, there are many insisting has he to come to congress for express permission, a vote on authorization to go forward with the expansion of this fight against the islamic state group. same with republicans, divided within the party, as well. the president is going to get behind closed doors. 3:15 on the east here in washington in the building behind me in the west wing. the president is going to be conferring with the so-called big four leaders are the congress, house and senate, republican and democrats. is it. >> if the president doesn't like what he hears, can he use his executive powers to launch the new operation as he's been doing? >> it's an inning question. there's a lot of talk about executive powers these days. the president is talking about using the pen to get around gridlock in congress. there is agreement among many members of congress, certainly the white house that the president already has the authorization that he needs. that comes from a vote that the conditioning took just three days after the september 11 attacks back in 2001. that's called the authorization for the use a of military force. a lot of people think the president already has that authorization. there's a poll out today that speaks to public opinion and the way it is shifting. people talk about a war weary american public, but 71% of americans polled support airstrikes in iraq, up 16% from three weeks ago. more significantly, 65% of those pod support expanding airstrikes into syria. that is the most contentious issue and that is what the president is expected to tackle and layout before the public in his speech tomorrow. >> along with efforts at home, what is the administration doing oversea to say drum up support for president obama's plan? >> this is another key point. the white house has insisted that they're not going to go it alone. they say time and time again, there will be no american combat troops on the ground in iraq or syria. what is the answer there? a coalition of international forces, not just nato. the president is fresh off that summit in wales. key regional allies, sunni led nations around the gulf in the middle east. secretary kerry will be consulting with the saudi government, the jordanian government. chuck hagel is in the region, as well as the president's top counter terrorism advisor lisa man co all traveling to the region to build a coalition to expand operations against the islamic state group. >> mike viqueira, thank you. >> how is it playing in baghdad? we are in erbil. the obama administration welcomes the formation of that new government in iraq, calling it a milestone. homes are that more inclusive government will help the fight against the islamic state group. >> it's crucial that they did come to some arrangement in the early hours this morning in baghdad to form some sort of unity government. as far as what's happening on the ground is concerned, if they haven't, it would have put more pressure as to how the iraqi government forces and shia militia have peshmerga managing to keep a unified stance against the is state fighters. at the end of the day, it is very difficult unified stance. it seems fractures in areas it looked like they were fighting hand-in-hand. if the messages come from the position tuitions that we can't even agree in baghdad on a political level, it would not bode well out on the battle grounds. >> is this the unity government that the iraqis have been waiting for? >> if you look at the two groups that were really crucial to being within this new government, you look at the kurds, they really have very skeptical opinion. they've given it three months. they said we'll come and join in, but still have very, very strict expect is as from this government. they really want to make sure that they got a percentage of the government funds, the coughers, so that they can decentralize and spend that money however they want. they want money from the huge oil and gas reserves here. they are quite pleased to see the new oil ministry somebody sympathetic to their cause but want baghdad to back the peshmerga with weapons and money. many are fighting within the peshmerga have no salaries, because the money is not coming from baghdad. the soon any arabs have been quite quiet with regard to who got the key government roles. we don't know if that's because they are not happy with it or not very unified or they are happy and not speaking out. it looks at the moment they are hanging this unity together, but a lot of people are very skeptical that it will lost long. >> thank you very much. coming up in 15 minutes, we'll talk to lute colonel michael kay about the push to fight the islamic state group. >> nfl star ray rice has been sacked by the baltimore ravens and suspended by the league. >> many are asking how could the nfl not have seen that video of rice hitting his fiancee. >> as shocked as every day people were to see the new video, it's getting very strong reaction inside of nfl locker rooms. >> the release by t.m.z. of video showing ray rice punches his then fiancee in the face drew strong condemneddation from people in the league both inside the locker room. >> i it was a deplorable act. he made a terrible error in judgment. >> and in other locker rooms. >> if that was going on in this locker room, i wouldn't be friends with the guy or talk to the guy. >> even president obama felt compelled to weigh in, saying hitting a woman is not something a real man does and that's true whether or not an act of violence happens in the public eye or far too often behind closed doors. >> news a the ravens released rice for hitting his now wife was met with approval league wide. >> i think they handled it the right way and it definitely should send a message to other guys and maybe even people just in the regular world, just, you know, just knowing that this is not acceptable. >> you don't want anybody to do that not world. it shouldn't happen anywhere. as far as him being one of our colleagues, that's, you know, may no longer be a thing. you can't act like that. >> many ask how much did the nfl and the ravens know. monday an nfl spokesman said no one in the league office had previously see a tape, coach harbaugh reiterating from the ravens standpoint. >> something we saw for the first time today, all of us. >> tmz reports that the nfl had access to the elevator video released monday. rice hinted at this at his apologetic press conference last july. >> i think roger goodell has everything that the court system has. >> reaction to rice's release even came from north of the border. the canadian football league will honor the nfl suspension. rice will not be welcome to play there, either. >> it does not get easier to watch that video. thank you. >> there is that severe respiratory illness spreading across the u.s., cases now reported in a dozen states. hundreds have children have been sent to the hospital. robert ray is live in atlanta. enterovirus pretty common. why is this particular strain so dangerous. >> it is common. there are over 100 strains of enterovirus and 10 million-15 million cases across the country each year. this particular strain was original nateed in 1962 in california. scientists, including the c.d.c. haven't seen it much over the past decade, so there's really no data and way of trying to create immunity for kids all the way from babies to high school students. that's making a lot of parents around the country really concerned. >> i've been an i.c.u. physician for 15 years and have never seen this before. >> thousands of sick children being rushed to emergency rooms across the nation, a rare and potentially life threatening illness spreading as the school year gets underway. >> he was unresponsive. he was lying on the couch, and couldn't speak to me, was turning white and had blue lips. >> health officials suspect it's enterovirus 68, a cousin of the common cold, diagnosed in the 1960's and not detected until just a few years ago again. now it has doctors scrambling and parents panicking. >> we were hysterical. >> it felt like you were gasping for air. >> hospitals are filling up fast. the denver children's hospital saw more than 900 pediatric patients with similar symptoms in just over two weeks. nearly 100 of them were admitted. a handful wound up in the intensive care unit. >> he was coughing, had a runny nose. within eight to 10 hour time period, it went from a cold to him not being able to breathe. >> what's different about this is the unusual number of case and the none usual severity of infection over a very short period of time. >> doctors say the virus could soon be seen in every state but most kids will recover in about a week and that common sense techniques, like hand washing are the best way to prevent it from spreading. >> some parents are going to be very anxious because their children are hospitalized, but the vast makerty are going to get completely better and better rapidly. >> you can imagine how stressful this has got to be for parents. even more like pediatricians and scientists studying this, they don't know how to stop this at this point. like we've heard. it comes off as the common cold and could turn into something much more serious. >> robert, i think freaked out is the way some parents are looking at this. we thank you very much. robert ray, live in atlanta, thanks. >> muslim cleric is set to be sentenced in new york city today on terrorism charges. he was found guilty of setting up a terrorist training camp in seattle and facilitating the kidnapping of tourists in yemen that he faces a life sentence. >> ukraine's president pledging to deal a crushing defeat to pro-russian rebels if they vital the ceasefire agreement. both sides accuse the other of violating the truce with shelling. >> new sanctions on russia are now on hold. e.u. officials want to wait and see if the ceasefire holds first. the new sanctions would expand the number of russian businesses barred from raising new money in european markets. >> home depot confirming its payment systems were hacked. it is a security breach larger than hit target last year. >> anyone who shopped from april onward could be affected. >> home depot first got word of suspicious activity last week. it launched an investigation with banks, i.t. firms and the secret service. it told customers there might be a problem. >> usually they ask me if i want a home depot credit card. she didn't do that today. >> the company confirmed that its payment system was breached. at risk are shoppers who paid with credit and debit cards at u.s. and canadian stores as far back as april. home depot c.e.o. expressed regret over the hack, saying we apologize for the frustration and anxiety this causes our customers and no customers will be responsible for fraudulent charges to accounts. the company is not yet sure how much customer data was stolen. if it started in april, the hack would have come during home depots busy spring shopping season. almost all stores in north america are affected, including nearly 2,000 in the u.s. the company said shoppers in mexico and on line are probably safe as are customers debit pin numbers. over the past year, hackers have stolen information from millions of consumers. target was hit right before the holidays, costing that retailer $150 million so far. since then, p.f. change, super value and other retailers have been hacked. analysts say american stores are easy targets. >> the united states has the least secure credit card system in the world. we still rely on magnetic strips that contain information and not computer chips in cards. >> those cards are widely used in europe, but not the united states. home depot plans to introduce chip technology at all u.s. stores by year's end. >> initial research suggesting the same malware that hit target hit home depot. home depot's hack may have been on for five months. >> a flash blood warning for most of the southern arizona, a day after record rainfall hit phoenix. it turned highways into small lakes and sent rescuers scrambling to get drivers out of cars. the governor declared a state of emergency. >> does this mean now that they are seeing some relief from the drought in those areas? >> we are seeing some, through the four corners region, part of that extreme southeastern california where we would love to see the moisture central california that extreme drought area with all the agriculture that really needs the rain, that's not where this is ending up. we do have drought all the way to texas. there is help. that's the good side, the bad side is the plumbing. here's that moisture plume. was enhanced by the tropical moisture. tomorrow more dry air moves in. we are going to see a little bit of a reduction. anywhere from california through colorado now, we are seeing that. that included yesterday, even parts of vegas. if you were out at harrahs, this is what it looks like, so people trying to get through it here. vegas itself supported about .3, but around the area, some places, two, three, four in isolated spots if you fell under one of those storms. for today, there's a little more into parts of colorado. it's kept temperatures cooler, phoenix running 10 degrees blow average because of the moisture. >> nicole mitchell, thanks. >> investigators releasing their first report into the downing of malaysia airlines flight 17. we have exactly what they are saying. >> secretary of state john kerry meeting with middle east allies rallying support against the islamic state group. former u.k. military advisor colonel michael kay weighs in on whether the plan risks history repeating itself. >> a unique natural event captured on camera. that's one part volcano. it's also one part tornado. that video and the others captured by citizen journalists around the world. >> time for a look at videos captured by citizen journalists around the world. 14 people were hurt in chile after a strong explosion rocked a transit station. it's similar to bombings carried out by local anarchist groups. >> getting a helping hand in the form of cooler weather in yosemite. that cattage shows smoke billowing from a blaze. >> a rather unusual phenomenon in iceland's volcano. a company monitoring eruptions capturing a large dust devil forming near an active part of the volcano. it create add volcanic tornado. >> i don't know which is cooler. >> up next, we talk about how crucial that new iraqi government is going to be for the government to fight the islamic state group. >> the malaysia airlines flight 17, dump investigators revealing more information about what brought down the crash, killing all onboard. lisa stark is in washington for us. you've been pouring over this report. it seems to confirm that malaysia airlines flight 17 was shot down. >> it does. investigators don't say that outright, but everything found so far is consistent with a missile strike against this aircraft. they paint a picture of a jumbo jet flying along fine and suddenly broke apart in midair, brought about by something external in the plane. they released photos of the wreckage that show holes in the fuselage. those could be caused by a missile that explodes outside the aircraft, sending shrapnel into the metal. it appears the aircraft was brought down by a large number of high energy objects from outside this aircraft. this morning, we heard from the chairman of the dutch safety board. >> our main conclusion is that the flight mh17 broken down in the air because of large damage to the aircraft caused by high energy objects penetrating the aircraft from outside. that's our main conclusion. >> now investigators say the damage pattern does not indicate that anything was wrong with the aircraft systems or engines. that jet was flying at 33,000 feet over eastern ukraine. obviously an area where there was a lot of conflict between the ukrainian government and russian backed separatists. separatists are blamed for bringing down the plane, something they deny. >> was there anything in the report that surprised you? >> not surprising, but it was sobering to see how fast everything happened, there was no distress call, no indication of problem. pilots were given directions from controllers to make a turn. four seconds later, they got no answer and all of the recorders shut off three seconds after that. really we have a plane flying through the air normally and suddenly breaking apart. >> lisa stark for us in washington, thank you. >> as we have been reporting, president obama set to meet with congressional leaders today to talk about his plan to take on the islamic state group. the president says it does not involve u.s. boots on the ground, but changes in baghdad, he says could lead to more military cooperation between iraq and the u.s. >> lt. colonel michael kay is a fortune affairs reporter and joins us. thanks for being with us. you've spent time in iraq and on duty for the air force. secretary of state john kerry will be trying to build a coalition to defeat i.s. how difficult will his job be and who are the key players that need to be part of that coalition? >> it is incredibly complex and will be difficult. the key is finding a fusion between military activity that occurs and having some sort of coherent and collaborative foreign policy that backs it up. we know there is no coherent foreign policy in that region at the moment and what worries me is we are going to go head first into military involvement. >> the anti war sentiment in the united states and in britain have been high. is that changing and do you believe that the u.k. would support boots on the ground? >> i believe boots on the ground are not something we should entertain. there are key clues in contemporary history that we need to look at. we need to look at the secondary consequences of when we arm the militia. we need to look at what happens when we deal a devastating blow of air power in afghanistan in ridding al-qaeda, then goes across the border into pakistan, no foreign policy to deal with that. that's where osama bin laden was. we need to look at what happens when we invade a country without a post conflict plan, it becomes sackous and groups move in. >> can you talk about reconstruction and political solutions without saudi arabia? >> no, you cannot. you have to engage saudi arabia. you have to speak to russia and china and get their acquiescence from the united nations security council. there has to abu.n. security council resolution an occur i can't. if we take away isis from this conversation, the problem of syria still exists. it will exist unless assad is dealt with in some way, whether we work with him on the threat or against him on the threat, and that hasn't been addressed. there is no doubt we have the military capability to neutralize isis in syria. with what we need to do is consider the consequences of the vacuum left when they do that. >> important perspective. thanks so much. >> there is that storm system we've talked about. it is bringing tons of rain across the country and cooler temperatures, as well. let's check in with nicole mitchell. >> i am just the messenger on this one, i don't control it. moving across the country, storms to the midwest. i'll have more on that coming up. a temperature change is dramatic. billings at 52. we are not going to get much warmer today, a front dropping temperatures from 90 into the 50s. 20-30 degrees cooler. if you get to tomorrow's forecast in the 40's, that means from yesterday at almost 90 to tomorrow in the 40's, over a 40-degree drop. still very warm ahead of all of this, but we are going to feel this change. places like minneapolis go from the 70's into the 50's as this moves through. it's going to be a little bit of an adjustment for a lot of folks. >> the world health organization issuing a new warning over the ebola crisis, while the c.d.c. tells parents to be on alert for a repair respiratory illness. infectious disease specialist weighs in on what needs to be done to stop the spread. >> a 14-year-old girl

>> the crowd chanting for democracy... >> this is another significant development... >> we have an exclusive story tonight, and we go live... >> this is capitol hill. top lawmakers head to the white house today as president obama makes his case for action and congressional funding to battle the islamic state group. ahead in our next half hour, are police being equipped more like armies? a senate hearing today asks that question in wake of the protests in ferguson, missouri. we go inside an expo showcasing the powerful weapons, now in some police arsenals. >> half a billion dollars, that's not the budget of a hollywood blockbuster, it's the price tag for the new video game destiny, the most expensive game ever is expected to earn big bucks, as well. >> president obama hosting lawmakers in the white house today making the case for more u.s. involvement fighting the islamic state group. the president lays out his plan to the american people tomorrow. iraq has formed that unity government. >> flood warnings in effect in parts of the southwest today after heavy rains sent parts of arizona and nevada. two people died near phoenix, some receiving more than four-inches of rain in two hours. the fallout from the new video showing former nfl player ray rice, former player ray rice hitting his fiancee. he was cut and then suspended by the league in definitely. the nfl faces questions over when it first saw that video. >> a fourth american infected with ebola is now heading back to the u.s. for treatment. this at international health officials warn the virus is getting much worse. there have been 3700 cases of ebola and 2,000 deaths. robert ray is outside emery hospital in atlanta. this new patient, we don't know if it's a man or woman, will arrive today. can we expect the treatment to be different than the other two americans treated there? >> this patient should arrive in the next half hour. that's according to emery university hospital finishes. the treatment will be virtually the same. they're going to monitor the vitals of the patient, make sure that the organs working properly, make sure this patient is hydrated. this patient will not receive the experimental serum zmapp. the doses have run out. the bio pharmaceutical l.l.c. is trying to make mr. but it won't come up soon. they are going to monitor the patient in an isolation unit and make sure they have a good fighting chance to make sure that they fight off ebola. >> to be clear, you reported that it wasn't clear whether zmapp helped those two other americans heal. do we know about getting american troops to africa to the ebola zone? >> we have heard that american troops, along with british forces will be headed over to west africa at some point soon to build isolation unit, big tents that can hold some of the people infected with ebola, get them into a facility where they can be monitored, just like they would be here in atlanta or nebraska where the third ebola patient is being treated now. that's the issue over there. the fact that there's no infrastructure, no place for these people that are in effected to get the proper treatment. at some point soon, u.s. troops and british troops will be building massive tents i understand west africa. >> as for west africa, doctors are scrambling to get any sort of treatment on the ground. what is the progress on cook seen and drug testing? >> there is little treatment now beyond monitoring vitals. the facilities in west africa are lacking. the new vaccine trial started outside washington at the national institute of health. that is being injected into human beings. it's a trial, that they are expecting results by the end of the year. as far as zmapp, we are not sure that has helped the ebola patients, the two here at emery. they are trying create more treatments. they are also looking into a blood serum, perhaps injecting the blood of someone who's had ebola and now through it and better, that that will create the blood in the other person who has ebola to fight off the infection. lots of things moving now and just the hope that they can get treatment or vaccine in the near future, steph. >> robert

you have been on the ground in africa. now we're hearing u.s. soldiers going there. i hear parents saying i'm concerned about my daughter or son. how concerned should they be about the soldiers? they are not doctors going into these ebola zones. >> i think the odds of catching ebola if you are a well trained military personnel as part of a response are low. that is not my main concern. it reflects the severity and scale of the outbreak. we've seen this grow exponentially in liberia, 40% of the cases have occurred in the last 21 days. that's how was it's moving. >> are doctors down playing the severity of this outbreak? think about it, we're seeing now doctors infected with ebola. is it worse than we think it is? >> i think there's a very difficult story to tell. one story is in the u.s., you don't have to worry. there's not going to be an outbreak in the u.s. we have to really worry about west africa. it's not just a humanitarian crisis. this will destroy the region, the economy and

said to have soaked a bed sheet and a towel and rum and lit it in the garage. her family was asleep at the time of the blaze but able to escape the flames. the girl, who is said to have been upset

they tell us has done more good than harm. on the streets, the people don't buy that narrative. oakland especially has seen an odd host for urban shield. its police department placed on federal oversight following a corruption scandal. among the protestors, the mothers of young men shot and killed by police. >> take your military tactics and get out of here! >> my son was cut up with a military weapon that when they go through the body tear your skin up. my son was ripped up. >> on this day, the activists win. over the weekend, the mayor announced that urban shield will not be held

here using nfc smart phone. >> nfc matters in this case, because apple has more credit card information on file than amazon and ebay combined thanks to itunes. you're going to be ready to use the new

case involving the baltimore ravens' ray rice. this after that new surveillance video of the incident in that elevator has surfaced. >> in a moment, we will get reaction from a long-time co-host of this show, who is currently host of "real sports" on hbo, bryant gumbel. but first nbc's josh elliott here with us on the latest fallout on this, josh, good morning. >> good morning to all of you. ray rice will not step out on to an nfl field this season and may never again. he was cut by his team, the baltimore ravens and suspended by the league indefinitely yesterday. and this morning the nfl is now under fire for how it's handled this and other cases of domestic violence. monday, tmz sports released new video that it says shows ray rice and then fiance janay palmer in an elevator in an atlantic city hotel casino. an argument escalates and then the video shows rice striking palmer with a single punch. her body falling and her head hitting an elevator railing. right after the february incident, video surfaced of what followed. rice dragging an unconscious palmer from the elevator. rice was indicted for aggravated assault in march, one day before he and palmer were married. rice eventually received probation and was ordered to undergo anger management by the court. in may, he held a news conference with his wife. >> sometimes in life, you will fail. you know. but i won't call myself a failure. failure is not getting knocked down. it's not getting up. >> the nfl suspended him for just two games. and rice spoke again in july. >> one thing that i wanted to do today was, you know, apologize to my wife. >> many fans were outraged. an outcry over the two-game suspension led nfl commissioner roger goodlell to admit last month he didn't get it right. the new video went public. monday, an nfl spokesman said the league requested any and all information about the incident from police, but that video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today. mike florio of nbc sports. >> i believe the nfl didn't have the tape. but it's unbelievable that the nfl didn't get the tape. >> reporter: a day after a season-opening loss at home, raf ravens officials say they first saw the tape on monday. >> when someone that you care about does wrong, you know, and is faced with the consequences of doing wrong and rightfully so, it is tough. it is hurtful. my hope is that they can make it work. >> very unfortunate. all you can do is reflect on what happened and learn from it. >> reporter: many had strong reactions when they learned of the tape. >> he should be terminated. i think that any man that hits a woman should have to suffer for the consequences. >> i think it's about time he's held accountable for what he's done. >> reporter: and vice president biden weighed in, in his exclusive interview with tamron hall. >> the ravens did the right thing. firing him immediately. i mean, you can argue they should have done it sooner. they didn't want to. whatever the reason is, it's happening. >> president obama also weighed in, in a statement released by the white house that reads in part, and i quote, hitting a woman is not something a real man does. and it went on to say, quote, stopping domestic violence is something that's bigger than football and all of us have a responsibility to put a stop to it. we reached out to the prosecutor's office in atlanta county where the incident happened. they declined to comment on the video or on rice's case. rice's agent also had no comment here. >> and josh, we're sitting here talking about this among ourselves this morning. i feel like everything has been said in 24 hours. but it bears repeating. it makes you sick to your stomach. >> and makes you feel very sorry that janay, his wife -- she married him, but then they have a child together. and she has to live with that knowledge and that video. >> josh elliott, thanks. tough story to begin with this morning. matt, over to you. >> brian, thanks very much. bryant gumbel is the host of "real sports" on hbo and former co-host here on "today." good morning. good to see you. yesterday the nfl released a statement saying we did not see this tape, this videotape taken from inside the elevator until monday. you take them at their word? >> i guess we have to. it's hard to believe. you also have to wonder, what did roger goodle think, that she fainted? we had her being dragged out of the elevator. i think at best, at best, the only thing you can say is they were willfully ignorant. this tape they had to know existed. in the discovery process, rice's lawyer had to have the tape. so it looks as if the best thing you can say for the nfl in making this judgment was it was don't ask, don't tell. they didn't ask for the tape. they didn't want to see it. >> i'm going to go back to the first point you made. the league, like all of us, had seen the tape from outside the elevator. >> right. >> of janay being dragged out of the elevator. do you really need to see the punch? >> yes, that's what i'm saying. >> to make the right call on the penalty in this case? >> she didn't faint and need to be dragged out. plus of which there are a number of people who suggested -- chris carter tweeted yesterday he saw this tape months ago. peter king, the definitive voice of the nfl for "sports illustrated" basically said his sources told him they had seen the tape way back in july. >> is there another possible scenario that when ray rice and janay palmer went in to meet with league officials two weeks before the suspension was happeneded down, they told a story to the commissioner not consistent with that video? >> i think the league would like us to believe that. and i think we'll only know that if and when ray rice decides to speak. >> now we're seeing the two-week penalty, the new policy goes to six weeks for a domestic violence offense. now they suspend ray rice indefinitely. does the nfl now get domestic violence, or is the nfl now trying to save face? >> let me turn and put it to you this way. right now the carolina panthers have a guy named greg hardy who is continuing to play even though he's facing domestic violence charges, been arrested for it. ray mcdonald is continuing to play for the san francisco 49ers, even though he too has domestic violence going on. i mean look, the nfl, what the nfl does best is public relations and manage its image. so right now they're going to go into full mode on demonizing ray rice with justification. but i don't see any evidence that they have turned the corner on this and really gotten the message, no. >> bryant gumbel, good to see you. >> always. >> let's go over to brian. >> matt, bryant, thanks. we turn a corner to national security. the obama administration's plan to degrade the international terror organization known as isis. president meets today with congressional leaders at the white house. he will lay out his strategy to the american people in an address to the nation tomorrow. our national correspondent, peter alexander, has the latest this morning from the white house. peter, good morning. >> brian, good morning to you. white house aides here say as the president prepares to reveal details of his plan to fight the growing threat of isis, his speech for tomorrow remains a work in progress. but most importantly he will begin laying out his case for a wider military campaign today for congressional leaders when they come to the white house. as the white house finalizes its plan to beat back isis, aides insist president obama will go wherever is necessary, citing the pursuit of al qaeda and the death of osama bin laden as evidence. the president wants it to be an international effort, today dispatching secretary of state to meet with key arab allies. jordan and saudi arabia. >> i will travel to the middle east to continue to build the broadest possible coalition of partners around the globe to confront, degrade and ultimately defeat ice ice isil. >> as the president told chuck todd on "meet the press," he won't send in u.s. ground troops. >> the notion that the united states should be putting boots on the ground i think would be a profound mistake. >> with another round of deadly air strikes in iraq monday, u.s. officials hailed iraq's formation of a unity government as a major milestone. the outstanding question, will the president extend those strikes into syria? with options still under consideration, senior administration officials tell nbc news likely targets inside syria could include isis leadership, training sites and weapons supplies. ahead of the president's sitdown with congressional leaders this afternoon, democrats and republicans have largely urged the white house to intensify its fight. >> the head of the isis snake is not in iraq. the head is in syria. and so if you want to kill the snake, you've got to go and cut off his head. >> reporter: other lawmakers want more details from the president. >> it is incumbent on him to come to congress and lay out his strategy so that we and the american people are clear on it. >> tomorrow's speech comes at a critical time in obama's presidency with his public approval numbers near record lows. the new polls show that americans overwhelmingly view isis as a real threat to the u.s. and what's really a big shift over a year ago when the u.s. considered air strikes against the assad regime in syria, americans largely support air strikes now in both iraq and syria. brian and matt? >> all right. peter alexander on the north lawn this morning. thanks. at least two people have died in record flooding in arizona after heavy rains from the remnants of hurricane norbert pushed through that state. al roker is looking at that and some other concerns. al? >> that's right. we've got severe weather to talk about today. we've got a lot going on. let's get do it, show you exactly what's happening. this video out of the southwest is pretty amazing. all this moisture streaming up from the monsoonal moisture coming out of the gulf. las vegas -- i mean, just amazing pictures. people getting caught, high water rescues. phoenix, arizona, upwards of 4 inches to 6 inches of rain, again. a lot of high-water rescues. that's going to continue again today for a little while. you can see all this moisture starting to stream up. dry air off the coast, but moisture coming in, and so we look for more heavy rain again today. we've got flash flood watches, flash flood warnings in effect. rainfall amounts generally about an inch or so. and the heaviest activity will start to make its way into western colorado, 2 to 3 inches of rain. in fact, as you look -- as we get into the midwest, around iowa, up to 5 or 8 inches of rain possible out of some strong systems that are going to be pushing in today into tonight and on into tomorrow morning. and we've also got heavy rain and heavy rain yesterday. big flooding in virginia yesterday with upwards of 10 inches of rain there. >> all right, al. thanks very much. news now that another american infected with the ebola virus is heading home. natalie has got that. >> that's right. it's the fourth american ebola patient now arriving in the united states from africa this morning. nbc's gabe gutierrez is at emery university hospital in atlanta. it's the same hospital that treated two other ebola patients last month. gabe, good morning. >> reporter: natalie, good morning. that latest ebola patient is now on their way to emery university hospital. last hour they landed in atlanta and was loaded into a special ambulance to be transported here. these are live pictures. emery university hospital is not confirming much, citing patient confidentiality. it will say one of its doctors tested positive for ebola and sierra low yoen and there were plans to treat that person. emery dr. kent brantly and nancy writebol were successfully treated last month. third ebola patient is now recovering at a hospital in nebraska. we are expecting the latest patient to arrive in emery within minutes. >> gabe gutierrez in atlanta, thank you. iraq's new government was sworn in monday in a bid to rescue the country from collapse. the parliament approved the new new cabinet. ks the start of the uphill task to unify the country after isis militants gained control of territory across northern iraq. authorities are now confirming remains found in a rural area of tennessee are of missing nursing student, holly bobo. the announcement brought gasps and tears from friends of the family whoa attended the news conference. the 20-year-old disappeared from her home in 2011. on sunday, two men found her skull near property owned by family of one of the suspects. two men have pleaded not guilty in bobo's kidnapping and murder. a landmark wooden roller coaster went up in flames monday at six flags magic mountain near los angeles. the decades-old colossus roller coaster which officially close the back in mid-august caught fire. planks began to break away and eventually chanced during high heat. workers had already started disassembling the right in preparation for an overhaul of the coaster, set to reopen in 2015. no word yet on what started the fire. and we have some incredible video this morning caught by a dashboard camera from the frightening moments when a tornado swept through a russian city. you can see a driver pull out of garage and onto the road. and when they start to pull away, watch as the power of the storm rips through that neighborhood. this happened a couple weeks ago. but later when the driver pulled back into the driveway, that's when you can see all the devastation there. that same garage completely blown away. nature's fury there. in full force. guys. >> brian always tells me when you're backing out of a garage, check for a tornado before you get into the street. >> exactly. you never know when it's going to hit. >> with the remote in my hand, in case i need to close it again. thank you for pointing that out on behalf of all of us. >> natalie, thanks very much. upside, neighbors had a garage sale the next day. >> there you go. >> real nice. >> way to make light of the moment. >> oh, mr. roker. >> anyway. let's show you what we've got going on today. we do have the risk of severe weather

head into the mid section. >> al, thanks. it is estimated that 1 in 68 children in the united states now has some form of autism spectrum disorder. and a new study released just today in the journal of autism and developmental disorders reveals more about the importance of early intervention and at what age to start treating symptoms of autism. a lot to explain here. dr. nancy snyderman is our chief medical editor. nancy, good morning. let's start with how small this study was we're talking about. but the lessons learned. >> well, it's very small. only seven children. but it sure is exciting. this comes from uc-davis where they really started early intervention. and the teacher was the parent. they really wanted to engage children, so they started taking babies who maybe weren't making eye contact, who were hyper fixated on one subject, but perhaps not having human interaction. and the investigators taught parents little tricks and tools to help these kids move along and guess what they found. six out of seven children by the time they reached their second year of age not only grew out of those autism symptoms, but, in fact, at a time when a lot of children with autism would have language delay, these kids not only caught up, but they had good language. so an extraordinary study showing how plastic the baby brain is, and frankly, the role of early intervention in any child who might be suspected of having autism. >> on the subject of intervention, what's the parental take-away from all of this? >> the parental take-away is not to be ashamed if you see some of the early signs. and it's easy to think, oh, no, not my child. but look for things like floppiness, the inability to make eye contact with a care giver. if your baby pulls close to you when you hug, sometimes these babies pull away. any of those what we call soft signs can all together mean your child belongs somewhere along the autism spectrum disorder. and any time there is a language delay, if your baby isn't speaking the same way that other children his or her age are, let your doctor know. because pediatricians often can urge parents and coach them into that early intervention. >> dr. nancy schneider snyderman covering this story in colorado, thapgs. thanks. carson is here with his orange room posts. i imagine a lot of people online, carson, talking about the ray rice story. >> yesterday, all royal baby two until 1:00 eastern time. nfl suspends ray rice indefinitely. right now in this hour, goodell, ravens, #rayrice trending on twitter. the number one

tony dungy. nfl and ravens releasing ray rice was only possible action after seeing video. why didn't they see video before. that's one side. and then ben leber, not to take attention away from ray

>> no. they sort of -- they sort of gave way around my early teens. honestly, when i started -- my parents enrolled me in an acting class when i was -- >> you think it was just a different outlet for those thoughts? >> yeah. i think so. i think that your dreams are sort of manifestations of an energy you haven't dealt with. and so i started dealing with them creatively. and i think that's why i wrote this. >> is this now the first of a series of books? >> yeah, it's going to be one book per year for the next three years. it's a trilogy. i'm thrilled. i wrote it with an amazing woman named kirsten miller. >> you revealed your mom had a nightmare and your mom's nightmare was seeing your full frontal nudity scene in "forgetting sara marshal." >> yeah. she wasn't pleased about that. >> how long was that scene?

and, you know, there is some victim shaming going on here. and part of the -- it doesn't matter if they don't. why are you asking that question? child or not? and we -- a crime was committed. charges were reduced. he has a plea deal. didn't take the plea deal. he has an arrangement where he's got to go to anger management. initially, she was even charged. they were dropped against her. but it's incredible. i talked with vice president joe biden yesterday about his effort. 20-year anniversary of the violence against women act. and part of that act includes officers can show up to a scene, if there is a sign of domestic violence, they don't have to have the victim press charges. they can at that point follow up and arrest that individual. all of this, part of this act. but i think some of this focus on the video, some of this shaming of the woman, it's just too much. it's absolutely too much. >> there was a tweet that was deleted yesterday. 4:30 p.m. yesterday. it was posted on may the 23rd from the ravens' official account that says janay rice regrets the role she played in this incident. in other words, they were circling the wagons around ray rice and forced her to go out and make some kind of apology and post it. >> i think what they meant was commissioner goodell -- they meant together. ray rice and his wife. >> right. >> so you can't really have a conversation one-on-one in that situation. and you don't -- you know at that point, there's sort of a strategy and a game plan being talked about. how do we handle this. it's the crisis of the situation of the moment. as a pr scandal, is what they were log at, rather than as this is a woman's life. >> and a violent act -- the vice president said -- we'll play more of this interview. he believes there should be a zero tolerance in all sports. none of this gradual did you it once, you get a pass. there should be zero tolerance, as with violence in schools. a kid comes in with a weapon or threatens. zero tolerance. why is that not part of the conversation? not just for the nfl, major league baseball, the nba. soccer, whatever. let's look at it through that prism. >> this is obviously going to be discussed for a long time to come. as is this next story, which is -- really very interesting. >> this is incredible. an estimated -- right now, 1 in 68 u.s. children have an autism spectrum disorder. there is a new study out that may offer inspiring hope to families. it's out today from uc-davis and looks at early intervention. we have heard people talk about early intervention. currently children generally begin treatment between 12 and 48 months. now seven infants ages 6 months to 15 months who were initially exhibiting severe autism symptoms, which include failure to make eye contact, repetitive play behavior, absence of babbling, some of the things you all noticed i'm sure early on in your children. those are milestones. over this three-year period, examined these children, and seven of them showed normal patterns of verbal and nonverbal development with early intervention. so to tell us more is dr. lee banekor, joining us via skype from baltimore. what is your initial reaction to this study? >> well, i think it's a very encouraging study. if you think about it, this was a sibling study. so there was some idea in these parents' minds, they had siblings that had autism spectrum. so it made them think about their children early. but early intervention is the key. in the past, kids were like 2 years old when we identified the them. so i think because it was related to siblings, parents started to look for these cues. but they really brought them in, and they really got working with them every day, and working with them and the coaches and learned what to do. and actually, interacted with these babies that weren't initially having those normal interactions that you talked about. and i think it's pretty exciting. it's a small study. but it's pretty exciting. and it really points to, as we learn more and more about the spectrum and risk factors and picking things up earlier. >> doctor, what specifically can a parents do? if they have a child who they feel might be existing early signs of autism or might be at risk for it, are there specific things a parent can tell their child to do and train their child in this case? >> they should probably talk to a health care professional first. but what -- in this study, what they talked about was, like, really imitating the child's sounds if they were making a few sounds. using the toys to interact with the child. spending some time -- there was years ago where there were studies where they talked about people locking themselves in dark bathrooms so that only the child could concentrate on what was going on at that time because there was too much going on from the outside. and i think this -- and that was many years ago. these were already older kids with autism. so i think there's this idea of really concentrating the attention individually on these young kids very early on. and doing this repetitively every day in their routine to try and get them out of their -- these symptoms. and, in fact, they did find that these kids started babbling and started having eye contact. and started having language skills, which is one of the most disabling things about autism. >> doctor, thank you so much. we greatly appreciate your insight. >> small study again, but very interesting for families dealing with this. >> absolutely. here's a story that caught my eye. front page, cover story here of the "new york post." 51, single and pregnant. her name is tracy con, expecting in february, a pr person, publicist. she has already a 2-year-old daughter. and i thought what was interesting, you see so many more women now doing this, choosing to have children later on in life. she says, by the way, if anyone else thinks it's strange and unnatural, they're entitled to their opinion. but i honestly don't give a -- you know what she's saying there. >> teaching kids new words. >> she has a long relationship -- slide right past that one. she's had lots of long-term relationships but never met the one and she is hoping someday she will meet the one, but deciding to take fertility in her own hands. saying sometimes you can't choose when these things happen. would i have liked to have had things the way you expect life to go, sure. >> did she do this with ivf? >> ivf, yes. and, yeah. i mean, it's an interesting thing. and i think more and more women, you're starting to see this. and we have come a long, long way, i think, back from the old murphy brown days where there was a question about being a single mom and raising a child and choosing to have a child later on in life by herself. a lot more women taking charge. >> she built up her career, at a point where she is ready for it. good for her. >> unfortunately, i don't think a lot of women can do that, because they can't afford to do that. but she it is in a position where she can. >> cool. al, what's going on outside? >> outside here in the northeast, fantastic weather. but we have been looking at a lot of wet weather in the southwest. we had a combination of monsoonal moisture and norbert causing problems. we had a lot of flooding in parts of colorado, in parts of arizona, into parts of nevada. today the greatest risk is from northern arizona into western colorado. could be 2 to 3 inches of rain in that area. we also have a risk of strong storms today stretching from nebraska all the way into iowa, southern missouri, tornadoes possible and more tornadoes possible again later tonight from green bay, chicago, st. louis on into kansas city. that's what's going on around the 9:12. good morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren. taking a live look at san jose, where we still have an overcast sky overhead. gradual clearing between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. for today. looking pretty good on the roadways. as we head throughout the day today, sunny, with a passing cloud or two. breezy conditions, and that breeze is going to build throughout the second half of the day, mostly between noon and 5:00, and we're looking pretty good after the sun sets at 7:23, you'll notice the overnight lows are chilly, 71 degrees today. weather. next, the man behind some of the biggest hits in country music, grammy nominated singer-songwriter, lee bryce, with another number one. he's going to sing for us in a little bit. and we'll talk to him right after this. ♪ ♪ altuzarra for target available september 14th. ahhh! what is it?

what did you say? what did you do to provoke? that is never the appropriate question. >> and when you look at this culture change in your op-ed, you wrote, it may be hard for people to fathom there was a time where domestic violence was ignored and condoned. >> i'm very proud of violence against women act. we passed a law. but that's not what's changed things. what's changed things is the change in the culture. making people aware. that's what changed things. so you know the first reason the nfl responded, in my view, there are so many women fans in this billion-dollar industry. all of a sudden, they said wait a minute, got suspended for a couple games? whoa, that's not enough. and then they got a little more sensitiz sensitized. and then it was longer. and then when the video was out there, and saw how brutal it was, the ravens did the right thing. fired him. immediately. now, you can argue, they should have done it sooner. they didn't want it. whatever the reason is, it's happening. >> what's the next challenge? >> the next challenge is making sure, ironically, we get college presidents and colleges to understand that they have a responsibility for the safety of women on their campus. they have a responsibility to do what we know from great experience works. bringing the experts. provide people, give the young woman the support that she needs. psychological support. the medical support. and if need be, the legal support. societal changes taking place. it takes time. but i really believe it's taking root. and we have an obligation to just keep pushing it. keep pushing it. we'll see what happens. but we'll be right back after this. fter this. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] no matter how things change... ♪ ...what makes us wholesome... ♪ ...never will. ♪ honeymaid. everyday wholesome snacks for every wholesome family. ♪ this is wholesome. hey! i found my true love, livin' in a sweet dream. what matters most should always come first. that's why whole grain is first in every general mills big g cereal. and why we never use high fructose corn syrup. general mills. goodness first. bathroom is trashed.he boys in 2b threw another party. dudes... come in! let's bubble! we don't just kill 99.9% of germs. we're also approved for tougher cleaning jobs. that's a reason to celebrate. you really think they need one?

moment. this is "today" on nbc. oday" on. you're watching today in the bay. >> good morning to you, 9:56 now. i'm kris sanchez. an experienced pilot from san jose died at the reno national championship airways. lee behel crashed yesterday afternoon at reno's stead airfield. race leaders say it appears that the plane had a catastrophic mechanical failure. behel had been involved in air races for more than 20 years. the man accused of going on a shooting rampage in oakland two years ago is now facing a grand jury indictment. an alameda county grand jury returned a ten-count felony indictment against one goh for killing seven people and injuring three more. he is now being treated at napa state hospital. and now we have a look at your weather situation where you live. >> hey, thanks. low clouds hugging the coastline throughout the day today. low clouds will continue to burn off, then the cool westerly flow, that ocean air moving inland. as we head throughout tonight, temperatures will be comfortable, albeit warmer by five to eight degrees and high pressure takes control of our forecast. for tomorrow, you'll notice the warmup for today. 81 degrees in the south bay, 87 tomorrow. 76 degrees for the peninsula today. mid 80s tomorrow. 71 degrees on the east shore today, and you're going to get in the mid 70s out there in the east shore area. 83 for the tri-valley. more on this today at 11:00. first, here's mike and your drive. >> fremont, still very slow for southbound 880. look at this drive here coming past the truck scales heading towards mission. this is the same area on the map with the orange and red showing up. still an earlier crash north of there seems to be the problem down towards 237, still jammed there. northbound routes moving much better and in general, kris, things are looking better. more local news coming up in just a half hour. right now, more of the "today" show. from nbc news, this is "today" with kathie lee gifford and hoda kotb, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. hello, everybody. and by that we mean you. it is booze day tuesday, september 9th, we're delighted you're here. i'm personally extremely excited that kevin kline is here. i think may be five of my favorite actors in the entire world and he is right there. >> this movie coming out with maggie smith is going to be a winner. we're going to discuss that. we're also going to help two people find their perfect match because there is another show on -- >> yes. >> to help singles find love. >> yes. not everybody is as happy as you are, hoda. >> okay. here's the deal. tomorrow we're going to shock and surprise you. and everybody. because kathie lee and i are going to be co-hosting, not this show, this one too, but the 7:00 a.m. >> yeah. >> and the 8:00. >> and the 8:00. we're going to join matt and al and natalie and carson. >> and i don't know -- how did they get us to say yes? >> it was all-star week. >> a very bad idea. that's right. barbara walters wasn't able to make it. >> so we're filling in for barbara walters. >> pinch hitting for babes ain't bad, all right? >> sparks will fly. what everybody is excited about today, the new oreos. we think it is pushing the season a bit, but the pumpkin spice oreos. >> i didn't know they had those. did they have them last year? no, they're brand-new. >> you know what you got to do, you got to take the cookie, take the cookie, you got to dunk it. >> oh, yeah. >> mm-hmm. oh, yeah. >> we're starting a new trend. >> september the 24th. >> that's delicious. >> that's really good. >> limited edition, only available for six to eight weeks. $4.49 for the cookies. >> you know how brothers love to rap each other. and prince harry decided it was his time to make fun of his brother when he learned his brother and kate were expecting. so he was interviewed about the new baby coming along and this is what harry had to say. >> last month she was okay. that's to be expected. luckily i'm a woman, i don't have to go through that. i can't wait to see my brother suffer more and with any luck, it will be a girl and he'll suffer even greater. i would love to see him try and cope with that. >> he's single-handedly started a whole new trend, which is making red headed men look hot. >> yes. >> sexy. >> i like the new trend. >> there was a whole book out now by a photographer who has red hair and he said it is an ancient thing going back to that red heads have somehow been derided as men. >> when i was dating in my younger days, i dated a guy who -- he looked exactly like opie. opie taylor. that kind of red head. he looked like that. that. that was my -- you know when sometimes who is red headed is attracted to you and you're kind of attracted to red heads, that's what happened. >> that went on for a long time until you started realizing you had a lot to offer. >> there you go. it took a minute. >> so speaking of babies, this is so adorable. >> would you bring your baby anywhere from newborn to i think six months to a baby spa? >> something in houston called float babies. now what they do, hydro therapy, for babies ages two weeks to six months. they put them -- it is safe, okay. we want to point that out and the children in the video seem happiy. a and the mothers are right there. you can allow your baby to achieve major physical and cognitive development milestones by as much as 50% of the nonwater babies. >> i would love to know what that is based on since they just opened. >> how do they check it. >> 60 minute sessions, $65. >> that's interesting. and they do massage and all kinds of -- >> you do all of that anyway with your baby. we took our babies in the water with us like first week they were born basically. >> seeing the floaty around the neck is a little weird, don't you think, but they seemed fine. >> it has to be like floating in the placentia, wouldn't you think? >> i guess so. >> i'm sorry that word offended you. is that jimmy? who is that? the word placentia. it is a normal word, a natural word, and you actually floated in one yourself -- >> the guys are cringing collectively. >> the temperature changed. this morning you could really feel, you know, fall in the air. but and it is fashion week, but somebody in our show has not gotten the memo that it is fashion week. this is joanne. >> this is what she wears in our studio. it is a snuggy. >> it is freezing in here. it is so cold. >> she's right. it is cold. >> i'm warm. >> dennis basso did put on a real fashion show. he would have liked you in it. he had a group of people who were showing dennis' fashions. every year he does them. it was a little party. >> who are you sitting with? >> i'm sitting next to your girlfriend lisa rinna who was there and other fun people, but the people who had great dresses, so check them out. >> he's an okay guy. rolling stone has -- taylor swift is making a very, very candid -- very open about the fact that she is going from the country world to the pop world, singularly and says she can't chase two be rabbits at once. she's not going to go -- she said she's not country anymore. i do love this song. she seems more poppy to me always. she always has a pop bounce to her country songs too. she can turn a hook, boy, this girl. >> she's great. >> she employs someone whose entire job is to figure out things that i don't want the world to see, unquote. >> she's worried when she goes to a public restroom or somewhere there are cameras and she is smart, because often people without you knowing are surreptitiously videotaping you or recording you or -- she worries about wiretaps, you know, you can -- think about the stupid things you say during the course of the day and what if someone taped it. >> this morning in the makeup room. >> what about right now? imagine if they were taping it and listening to it. >> because there is a monetary value attached to it. that's the kind of world we live in today. a picture of somebody just walking to the gym is worth so and so. you get a picture of somebody doing something very private, and in the nude, that's going to send the price through the roof. >> did you hear judge judy had a nude picture of her floating around but never let it out. judge judy took a nude picture. i love that. >> how recently? >> i don't know. i was watching her show, which i do at 4:00 -- >> she is about the no nonsense person in the world, but it took her a while to become that person. as soon as i left the service the other day for joan, i turn the corner, running up madison avenue to get in my car, who is there? jerry. her husband. waiting for judge judy. >> i love that. >> yeah. >> so cute. we're going to westchester airport to fly out to l.a. want to come with us? he's adorable. new overhear about her husband. i wonder if jerry took the picture. >> maybe jerry did. >> i hope so. judge judy's going to get in trouble. >> meredith's show debuted yesterday. >> you were on it, hoda. she got the big a-listers. >> we played something. this is pathetic, this little game, we played something called car-eoke where you get in the car and j. lo was supposed to guess what you were singing and you sing it loudly. ♪ i wonder what would happen if you say what you wanna say ♪ ♪ and let the world call out ♪ >> what is it? >> "what you wanna say"? >> no. ♪ sacred place embrace forever ♪ >> i know! ♪ waiting for tonight >> wow. >> i thought it was supposed to be an all female band. there is one guy. one token guy. >> about time the token got flipped. >> looks like fun. >> it was fun. we wish meredith good luck. >> there is this survey, you might want to consider this, the outcome as you go dining some place today. have you ever wondered how waiters actually deal with bad, rude customers. >> they did a survey and they asked if waiters or waitresses take revenge on customers who they find insulting and they do. demanding, sending everything back. >> here is what they do to you. 65% of waiters and waitresses say they made the customer wait longer than necessary. in other words, have you ever seen your food is ready and you can kind of see it, and you know it's right there and there you're sitting, no one is bringing it and if you ask, you're being demanding again. >>heaven forbid they bring your food. >> once a person has left, that's not going to work. i've done all the -- >> maybe if you write $6 and they make it $16. >> then you also have to deal with the -- >> i don't know. 6%. >> this is terrible. >> spat in a customer's food or deliberately contaminated food before they served it and all kinds of creative ways they can do that. use your imagination. >> i was a waitress before at ponderosa and i know what it is like to be running around and the water, my steak's not right, this isn't good. and you feel terrible, but when there is a really demanding customer, who just keeps -- just gets up in your crawl -- >> the study done by the university of houston and baylor university, nice to see those schools getting along. and another study, insulted customers may spend more. this doesn't make sense to me. if you ever have been treated rudely by a salesclerk in a -- >> like the scene from "pretty woman". >> let's watch. you'll remember. >> you got nice stuff. >> thank you. >> how much is this? >> i don't think this would fit you. >> well, i didn't ask if it would fit, i asked how much it was. >> how much is this, marie? >> it is very expensive. >> it is very expensive. >> oh. >> but it all works out in the end. >> i love that movie. >> she looked great. such a big mistake. they say rude salesclerks sell more -- >> because we want to please the salesclerk. >> that makes no sense to me. i walked out of more stores if somebody is rude, a department store here in new york i was treated so rudely, i said, you know what, i will never, ever, go in this store again. it is just not worth it. so are you one of those people, will you walk away, or have you ever just lost it with somebody? i would love to know. we would love to know on facebook. if you have a story of what you -- you just had it, we would love to know that. >> we love that. >> okay. so we have to go, right? >> two gorgeous singles have come here looking for love. we will find them a match? and we get a big chill just thinking about this incredibly talented and funny hollywood star. and tony award winner kevin kline is here. >> so glad he came to see us. >>. l'oreal presents a scientific revolution. have you always dreamed of

bitten by the acting bug and we're so happy he did. >> kevin is a two time tony award winning stage actor and has more than 50 film and tv credits to his name, from the classic 1983 movie "the big chill". >> loved it. >> presidential impersonator in the romantic comedy "dave" and his oscar winning role in "a fish called wanda." >> and "princess bride." now kevin stars in the new movie "my old lady" and it is a beautiful film. it is a down on his luck new yorker, whose father dies and he thinks he leaves him -- but it gets complicated. the apartment happens to house an older woman and her daughter and things don't exactly get off to a smooth start. we'll show you. >> this is chloe. >> what are you doing here? >> i own this apartment. and i also own madam girouard. do you work here? >> no, chloe and i don't live here. >> why are you staying here? >> well, your mother invited me. >> she seems upset. >> okay. so the reason that they didn't put in the princess bride because it wasn't him. i'm an old lady too. you got two old ladies here. that was mandy patinkin. >> yes, it was. >> you said that happens a lot. >> a lot of people say i loved you in princess bride and i just write mandy patinkin. >> well, you were great in a lot of other movies too. >> talk about this film. this is such a charming film. it starts off as a comedy, you laugh your way through the beginning and then it takes more of a dramatic turn, doesn't it? >> yes. but then it ends up complicated at the end. >> yeah, don't give -- >> tell us about the premise of this movie. >> the premise, well, it is based on a rather antiquated, but still very popular french real estate law where you can sell your apartment to someone rather inexpensively, but you don't have to move and they cannot move in until you die. they have to pay a monthly sort of inu ty. it is nice, but barbaric because the people who bought it cheap and is paying the fees is waiting for the person to die. >> that's maggie. but so i think i inherited this apartment. and there is an old lady -- i'm completely desperate and broke and alcoholic and stupid and -- >> thrice divorced. >> thrice divorced. >> not good. >> no, no. >> thrice. >> i rolled my r. thrice. i'm thrice divorced. >> this is a play originally, i understand. and you've been involved with readings of it through the years or something. attached, as they say. >> once i attached myself four or five years ago, yes, there was a series of readings, he s israel horovitz's apartment, from the play version to something more cinematic. >> this is his directorial debut. >> well, he's directed hundreds of plays and -- yes, he's an actor's director and also done documentaries and things. he knew what to do with the camera as well. >> your love interest in this movie is whom? >> well, maggie smith. subtext. my love interest was, yes, kristin scott thomas who played my ex-wife in "life is a house" some years ago. >> is it just old times when you get together with someone you've done a film with. you spend a lot of time when you do a film, unless it is a cameo, do you pick up where you left off before? >> yes, and it was a happy ending, the previous time, then you pick up where you left off. if it was bad, you pretend it never happened. >> say you were offered that -- the role of a lifetime, like in "the princess bride" -- >> yeah. >> and you wanted to do it so badly until you realized they had hired robin wright, whom you had had an affair with, early on, in both of your careers, and it ended badly, what would you do? >> that's a great question. >> i would have called robin and said, you want to pick up where we left off? this is all hypothetical. i don't know. i don't know. if it is a good script, then that trumps everything. if it is a good script, good -- all right, we had an affair -- when did that happen? was that you or was that mandy patinkin is what she's thinking. >> yeah. >> well, we wish you great luck with this film. >> you don't work enough as far as we're concerned. we would like a movie a month from you. if that would be okay. >> i'll wear out my welcome. >> great to see you kevin.

apple finally set to unveil its newest gadgets at a special event. why fans of the tech giant could have three reasons to be excited today, tuesday, september 9th, 2014. from nbc news, this is "today." with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1-a in rockefeller plaza. >> and good morning. welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. i'm matt lauer, along with al roker, natalie morales and months of negotiation have come to fruition. and brian williams has gotten out of bed early to join us as part of the homecoming week here on "today." >> savannah -- i heard her name. i said, wait. thank you for having me. >> good to see you! >> great to be back. >> not your normal hour. we should mention, you're back because brian is going to mention a few times during the day, he's playing her today. >> i have the thing -- the cold. the summer into fall cold. no physical ailment. >> you didn't mention that when you kissed me earlier. >> and meredith tried to warn me against coming today because she was roughed up so badly. >> i know. we're going to have fun. a lot to talk about. how about this news? the top story this morning, fresh outrage over the nfl's handling of that domestic violence case involving the baltimore ravens' ray rice. this after that new surveillance video of the incident in that elevator has surfaced. >> in a moment, we will get reaction from a long-time co host of this show, who is currently host of "real sports" on hbo, bryant gumbel. but first, the latest fallout. >> reporter: ray rice will not step out on to an nfl field this season and may never again. he was cut by his team, the baltimore ravens and suspended by the league indefinitely yesterday. and this morning the nfl is now under fire for how it's handled this and other cases of domestic violence. monday, tmz sports released new video it says shows ray rice and then fiancee palmer in an elevator in an atlantic city hotel casino. an argument escalates and then the video shows rice striking palmer with a single punch. her body falling and her head hitting an elevator railing. right after the february incident, video surfaced of what followed. rice dragging an unconscious palmer from the elevator. rice was indicted for aggravated assault in march, one day before he and palmer were married. rice eventually received probation and was ordered to undergo anger management by the court. in may, he held a news conference with his wife. >> sometimes in life, you will fail. you know. but i won't call myself a failure. failure is not getting knocked down. it's not getting up. >> the nfl suspended him for just two games. and rice spoke again in july. >> one thing that i wanted to do today was, you know, apologize to my wife. >> many fans were outraged. an outcry over the two-game suspension led nfl commissioner roger goodell to admit he didn't get it right. the new video went public. monday, an nfl spokesman said the league requested any and all information about the incident from police, but that video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today. mike florio of nbc sports. >> i believe the nfl didn't have the tape. but it's unbelievable that the nfl didn't get the tape. >> a day after a season-opening loss at home, ravens officials say they first saw the tape monday. >> when someone that you care about does wrong, you know, and is faced with the consequences of doing wrong and rightfully so, it is tough. it is hurtful. my hope is that they can make it work. >> very unfortunate. all you can do is reflect on what happened and learn from it. >> many had strong reactions when they learned of the tape. >> he should be terminated. i think that any man that hits a woman should have to suffer for the consequences. >> i think it's about time he's held accountable for what he's done. >> and vice president biden weighed in in his exclusive interview with tamron hall. >> the ravens did the right thing. fired him. i mean, you can argue they should have done it sooner. they didn't want to. whatever the reason is, it's happening. >> president obama also weighed in a statement released by the white house that reads in part, and i quote, hitting a woman is not something a real man does. and it went on to say, quote, stopping domestic violence is something that's bigger than football and all of us have a responsibility to put a stop to it. we reached out to the prosecutor's office in atlanta county where the incident happened. they declined to comment on the video or on rice's case. rice's agent also had no comment here. >> and josh, we're sitting here talking about this among ourselves this morning. i feel like everything has been said in 24 hours. but it bears repeating. it makes you sick to your stomach. >> and makes you feel very sorry that janae, his wife -- she married him, but then they have a child together. and she has to live with that knowledge and that video. >> josh elliot, thanks. tough story to begin with this morning. matt, over to you. >> brian, thanks very much. bryant gumbel is the host of "real sports" on hbo and former co host on "today." good morning. good to see you. the nfl released a statement yesterday saying we did not see this tape, this videotape taken from inside the elevator until monday. you take them at their word? >> i guess we have to. it's hard to believe. you also have to wonder, what good roger goodell think, she fainted? we had her being dragged out of the elevator. i think at best, the only thing you can say, they were willfully ignorant. this tape they had to know existed. in the discovery process, rice's lawyer had to have the tape. so it looks as if the best thing you can say for the nfl in making this judgment was it was don't ask, don't tell. they didn't ask for the tape. didn't want to see it. >> i'm going to go back to the first point you made. the league, like all of us, had seen the tape from outside the elevator. >> right. >> of janae being dragged out of the elevator. do you really need to see the punch? >> that's what i'm saying. >> to make the right call on the penalty. >> she didn't faint and need to be dragged out. plus, there are a number of people who suggest -- chris carter tweeted yesterday he saw this tape months ago. peter king, the definitive voice of the nfl for "sports illustrated" basically said his sources told him they had seen the tape way back in july. >> is there another possible scenario that when rice and palmer went in to meet with officials two weeks before the suspensions was handed down, they told a story to the commissioner not consistent? >> i think the league would like us to believe that. and i think we'll only know that if and when ray rice decides to speak. >> now we're seeing the two-week penalty, the new policy goes to six weeks for a domestic violence offense. now they suspend ray rice indefinitely. does the nfl now get domestic violence, or is the nfl now trying to save face? >> let me turn and put it to you this way. right now the carolina panthers have a guy named greg hardy who is continuing to play even though he's facing domestic violence charges, been arrested for it. ray mcdonald is continuing to play for the san francisco 49ers, even though he too has domestic violence going on. the nfl -- what the nfl does best is public relations. and manage its image. so right now they're going to go into full mode on demonizing ray rice with justification. but i don't see any evidence that they have turned the corner on this and really gotten the message, no. >> bryant gumbel, good to see you. >> always. >> let's go over to brian. >> matt, bryant, thanks. we turn a corner to national security. the obama administration's plan to degrade the international terror organization known as isis. president meets today with congressional leaders at the white house. he will lay out his strategy to the american people in an address to the nation tomorrow. our national correspondent, peter alexander, has the latest this morning from the white house. peter, good morning. >> brian, good morning to you. white house aides here say as the president prepares to reveal details of his plan to fight the growing threat of isis, his speech for tomorrow remains a work in progress. but most possibimportantly, wiln to lay out his case for a wider military campaign today for congressional leaders when they come to the white house. as the white house finallyizes its plan to beat back isis, aides insist president obama will go wherever is necessary, the pursuit of al qaeda. the president wants it to be an international effort, today dispatching secretary of state to meet with key arab allies. >> i will travel to the middle east to continue to build the broadest possible coalition of partners around the globe to confront, degrade and ultimately defeat isil. >> as the president told chuck todd on "meet the press," he won't send in u.s. ground troops. >> the notion that the united states should be putting boots on the ground i think would be a profound mistake. >> with another round of deadly air strikes in iraq monday, u.s. officials hailed iraq's formation of a unity government as a major milestone. the outstanding question, will the president extend those strikes into syria? with options still under consideration, senior administration officials tell nbc news likely targets inside syria could include isis leadership, training sites and weapons supplies. ahead of the president's sitdown with congressional leaders this afternoon, democrats and republicans have largely urged the white house to intensify its fight. >> the head of the isis snake is not in iraq. the head is in syria. and so if you want to kill the snake, you've got to go and cut off his head. >> other lawmakers want more details from the president. >> it is incumbent on him to come to congress and lay out his strategy so that we and the american people are clear on it. >> tomorrow's speech comes at a critical time in obama's presidency with his public approval numbers near record lows. the new polls show that americans overwhelmingly view isis as a real threat to the u.s. and what's really a big shift over a year ago when the u.s. considered air strikes against the assad regime in syria, americans largely support air strikes now in both iraq and syria. brian and matt? >> all right. peter alexander on the north lawn this morning. thanks. at least two people have died in record flooding in arizona after heavy rains from the remnants of hurricane norbert pushed through that state. al roker is looking at that and other concerns. al?

>> the parental take-away is not to be ashamed if you see some of the early signs. and it's easy to think, oh, no, not my child. but look for things like floppiness, the inability to make eye contact with a care giver. if your baby pulls close to you when you hug, sometimes these babies pull away. any of those what we call soft signs can all together mean your child belongs somewhere along the autism spectrum disorder. and any time there is a language delay, if your baby isn't speaking the same way that other children his or her age are, let your doctor know. because pediatricians often can urge parents and coach them into that early intervention. >> dr. nancy schneiderman, thanks. carson is here with his orange room posts. i imagine a lot of people online, carson, talking about the ray rice story. >> yesterday, all royal baby two until 1:00 eastern time. nfl suspends ray rice indefinitely. right now in this hour, goodell, ravens, #rayrice trending on twitter. the number one facebook post is ray rice. we'll walk you through some of the tweets. obviously, this is a huge conversation. lots to get to. first, very trusted, respected former player, coach, analyst, tony dungy. nfl and ravens releasing ray rice was only possible action after seeing video. why didn't they see video before. that's one side. and then ben lieber, not to take attention away from ray rice, but goodell saw the video earlier, they need to be held accountable as well. most people just excited this is a topic being generated. maria shriver, take note. no place for domestic violence in the nfl. much more in the next hour, guys. >> thank you very much. coming up, all eyes on apple. what will that it tech giant unveil with its big ye convenient today and will it match the hype?

>> and a lot of people think they had to have known about this. >> had to have known or at least willfully ignored it, which is what tmz sports reported. a new statement from the nfl saying it's under the control of the police. we couldn't get to it. we reached out to the prosecutor's office in atlantic city. that office declined to comment on the video or race's case at this time. rice's agent had no comment. obviously, the acts by ray rice, the video, reprehensible. the rarchs did the right thing. now the questions are for the nfl. are we really to believe that nfl security did not have access and did not see the video inside the elevator? >> impossible. >> impossible to believe that. and if tmz could get access, security people could easily have said where's the tape. beyond that, it doesn't matter what that tape shows. >> we know she got knocked out. >> you know she got knocked out. we saw the aftermath of that tape. this tape, it's too little too late, is beyond the question we should be asking today. the reality is, the evidence was plain in sight. and it's very clear what happened. >> as bryant gumbel pointed out earlier on the program, there are a number of other nfl players. >> three cases since they announced their new domestic violence policy have sprouted up. i call complete nonsense on the focus of this video. to your point. how was she knocked out doesn't matter. she was. and we saw -- i don't like this what happened before, because i believe, in my opinion, there's a dot, dot, dot of maybe she did something. what happened in there? it doesn't matter if he used an elbow, a hand, a weapon. she was completely knocked out. when that door opened. that's all they needed to see. and the next part of the conversation, former governor ed rendell of pennsylvania said, should roger goodell step down. that's the -- >> that's -- those are the dots people are -- >> absolutely. >> people are trying to make that connection. does roger goodell survive this. >> and i'm also not happy with people who keep saying, why is she staying? and, you know, there is some victim shaming going on here. and part of the -- it doesn't matter if they don't. why are you asking that question? child or not? and we -- a crime was committed. charges were reduced. he has a plea deal. didn't take the plea deal. he has an arrangement where he's got to go to anger management. initially, she was even charged. they were dropped against her. but it's incredible. i talked with vice president joe biden yesterday about his effort. 20-year anniversary of the violence against women act. and part of that act includes officers can show up to a scene, if there is a sign of domestic violence, they don't have to have the victim press charges. they can at that point follow up and arrest that individual. all of this, part of this act. but i think some of this focus on the video, some of this shaming of the woman, it's just too much. it's absolutely too much. >> there was a tweet that was deleted yesterday. 4:30 p.m. yesterday. it was posted on may the 23rd from the ravens' official account that says janay rice regrets the role she played in this incident. in other words, they were circling the wagons around ray rice and forced her to go out and make some kind of apology and post it. >> i think what they meant was commissioner goodell -- they meant together. ray rice and his wife. >> right. >> so you can't really have a conversation one-on-one in that situation. and you don't -- you know at that point, there's sort of a strategy and a game plan being talked about. how do we handle this. it's the crisis of the situation of the moment. as a pr scandal, is what they were log at, rather than as this is a woman's life. >> and a violent act -- the vice president said -- we'll play more of this interview. he believes there should be a zero tolerance in all sports. none of this gradual did you it once, you get a pass. there should be zero tolerance, as with violence in schools. a kid comes in with a weapon or threatens. zero tolerance. why is that not part of the conversation? not just for the nfl, major league baseball, the nba. soccer, whatever. let's look at it through that prism. >> this is obviously going to be discussed for a long time to come. as is this next story, which is -- really very interesting. >> this is incredible. an estimated -- right now, 1 in 68 u.s. children have an autism spectrum disorder. there is a new study out that may offer inspiring hope to families. it's out today from uc-davis and looks at early intervention. we have heard people talk about early intervention. currently children generally begin treatment between 12 and 48 months. now seven infants ages 6 months to 15 months who were initially exhibiting severe autism symptoms, which include failure to make eye contact, repetitive play behavior, absence of babbling, some of the things you all noticed i'm sure early on in your children. those are milestones. over this three-year period, examined these children, and seven of them showed normal patterns of verbal and nonverbal development with early intervention. so to tell us more is dr. lee banekor, joining us via skype from baltimore. what is your initial reaction to this study? >> well, i think it's a very encouraging study. if you think about it, this was a sibling study. so there was some idea in these parents' minds, they had siblings that had autism spectrum. so it made them think about their children early. but early intervention is the key. in the past, kids were like 2 years old when we identified the them. so i think because it was related to siblings, parents started to look for these cues. but they really brought them in, and they really got working with them every day, and working with them and the coaches and learned what to do. and actually, interacted with these babies that weren't initially having those normal interactions that you talked about. and i think it's pretty exciting. it's a small study. but it's pretty exciting. and it really points to, as we learn more and more about the spectrum and risk factors and picking things up earlier. >> doctor, what specifically can a parents do? if they have a child who they feel might be existing early signs of autism or might be at risk for it, are there specific things a parent can tell their child to do and train their child in this case? >> they should probably talk to a health care professional first. but what -- in this study, what they talked about was, like, really imitating the child's sounds if they were making a few sounds. using the toys to interact with the child. spending some time -- there was years ago where there were studies where they talked about people locking themselves in dark bathrooms so that only the child could concentrate on what was going on at that time because there was too much going on from the outside. and i think this -- and that was many years ago. these were already older kids with autism. so i think there's this idea of really concentrating the attention individually on these young kids very early on. and doing this repetitively every day in their routine to try and get them out of their -- these symptoms. and, in fact, they did find that these kids started babbling and started having eye contact. and started having language skills, which is one of the most disabling things about autism. >> doctor, thank you so much. we greatly appreciate your insight. >> small study again, but very interesting for families dealing with this. >> absolutely. here's a story that caught my eye. front page, cover story here of the "new york post." 51, single and pregnant. her name is tracy con, expecting in february, a pr person, publicist. she has already a 2-year-old daughter. and i thought what was interesting, you see so many more women now doing this, choosing to have children later on in life. she says, by the way, if anyone else thinks it's strange and unnatural, they're entitled to their opinion. but i honestly don't give a -- you know what she's saying there. >> teaching kids new words. >> she has a long relationship -- slide right past that one. she's had lots of long-term relationships but never met the one and she is hoping someday she will meet the one, but deciding to take fertility in her own hands. saying sometimes you can't choose when these things happen. would i have liked to have had things the way you expect life to go, sure. >> did she do this with ivf? >> ivf, yes. and, yeah. i mean, it's an interesting thing. and i think more and more women, you're starting to see this. and we have come a long, long way, i think, back from the old murphy brown days where there was a question about being a single mom and raising a child and choosing to have a child later on in life by herself. a lot more women taking charge. >> she built up her career, at a point where she is ready for it. good for her. >> unfortunately, i don't think a lot of women can do that, because they can't afford to do that. but she it is in a position where she can. >> cool. al, what's going on outside? >> outside here in the northeast, fantastic weather. but we have been looking at a lot of wet weather in the southwest. we had a combination of monsoonal moisture and norbert causing problems. we had a lot of flooding in parts of colorado, in parts of arizona, into parts of nevada. today the greatest risk is from northern arizona into western colorado. could be 2 to 3 inches of rain in that area. we also have a risk of strong storms today stretching from nebraska all the way into iowa, southern missouri, tornadoes possible and more tornadoes possible again later tonight from green bay, chicago, st. louis on into kansas city. that's what's going on around the coun and that's your latest weather. next, the man behind some of the biggest hits in country music, grammy nominated singer-songwriter, lee bryce, with another number one. he's going to sing for us in a little bit. and we'll talk to him right after this. ♪ ♪ altuzarra for target available september 14th. ahhh! what is it?

what did you say? what did you do to provoke? that is never the appropriate question. >> and when you look at this culture change in your op-ed, you wrote, it may be hard for people to fathom there was a time where domestic violence was ignored and condoned. >> i'm very proud of violence against women act. we passed a law. but that's not what's changed things. what's changed things is the change in the culture. making people aware. that's what changed things. so you know the first reason the nfl responded, in my view, there are so many women fans in this billion-dollar industry. all of a sudden, they said wait a minute, got suspended for a couple games? whoa, that's not enough. and then they got a little more sensitiz sensitized. and then it was longer. and then when the video was out there, and saw how brutal it was, the ravens did the right thing. fired him. immediately. now, you can argue, they should have done it sooner. they didn't want it. whatever the reason is, it's happening. >> what's the next challenge?

store here in new york i was treated so rudely, i said, you know what, i will never, ever, go in this store again. it is just not worth it. so are you one of those people, will you walk away, or have

you do a film, unless it is a cameo, do you pick up where you left off before? >> yes, and it was a happy ending, the previous time, then you pick up where you left off. if it was bad, you pretend it never happened. >> say you were offered that -- the role of a lifetime, like in "the princess bride" -- >> yeah. >> and you wanted to do it so badly until you realized they had hired robin wright,
