Leaving thousands of cruise passengers high and dry. And back in session. The prosecution gets set to wrap its case as the Oscar Pistorius trial enters the fourth week. Monday, march 24th, 2014. Announcer from nbc news, this is today. With matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today. It is monday out on the west coast at 7 00 a. M. We have big news out of malaysia. The Prime Minister is holding a News Conference and has made announcement regarding flight 370. Evidently saying it is beyond all reasonable doubt that the flight was lost in the indian ocean. Lets get to nbcs tom costello who has been following the investigation. Good morning, matt. The families received an email from the airline. It says we deeply regreet we have to assume that flight 370 has been lost and none on board has survived. You will hear in the Prime Ministers comments, we must now accept that all evidence suggests the plane went down in the southern indian ocean. Of course, that is where this search has been focused. All the way down from malaysia down to about 1,500 miles off the coast of perth, australia. In the last 24 hours, we had chinese aircraft reporting they have spotted debris outside of the grid outside of the search area. The australians think they spotted debris inside the search area. We dont know if that is debris from flight 370. All we know is in the case of the australian debris, it is green and it is orange. In the case of the chinese debris, it is large. At this point, they are trying to get more information. Guys, back to you. Thank you. This is a Big Development for the families who have just been briefed. Lets pause for a special report. Good morning. 10 00 a. M. On the east coast. 7 00 a. M. On the west coast. We got sad news from the malaysian Prime Minister announcing new information has led them to conclude beyond any shadow of a doubt, this Malaysian Airlines flight 370 was in fact lost over the southern indian ocean. All evidence points this fact, but not what evidence they have. We will hear more about that in the coming moments our hours. Nbcs tom costello has been following the investigation since day one. Good morning, matt. Malaysian airlines sent an email to the families of flight 370. Here is what they say. We deeply regret we have to assume beyond all reasonable doubt that flight 370 has been lost and none on board has surviv survived. We must state that all has been lost in the southern indian ocean. This is the evidence from the pings from the satellite data. That is suggesting that the plane made its way down to the southern zone. In last 24 hours, chinese authorities said their aircraft spotted debris outside of the zone. They are not sure if it is from the flight. The Australian Air force said they spotted debris inside the zone. Again, not sure it is from the flight. Naval units are on the way to check out both of the sightings. The truth is, they dont know if for if any of that debris is from flight 370. They are seeing so much starting to see so much evidence that would suggest that maybe something did happen in that southern search zone and southern quadrant. The question is what was the condition of the aircraft when it went in. We talked to experts that the plane would have gone into a steep decline. About an 8 to 10 decline rate and hitting 300 miles per hour. If that were the case, it is unlikely anybody could survive out in the indian ocean. Guys, back to you. Tom costello, thank you. They are assuming the plane went into the southern indian ocean. They have not said if they got their hands on the debris that has been positively identified from flight 370. Apparently this conclusion is based on the satellite Images Available made to malaysian authorities. They took a dramatic step sending a message to the family of the people on the flight. They conclude the flight is gone and all on board are lessing stadium. We have keir simmons in kuala lumpur. What can you tell us . Good morning. Reporter savannah, it is difficult to put into words what we just watched here. Behind me, you can see some journalists, but a gathering of some families who have loved ones on flight 370. They just sat quietly here watching the Prime Minister make his statement. A really noble show of grace by them to be honestly. They were stern faced watching trans fixed by what the Prime Minister had to say. Of course, to remember what they are watching is the Prime Minister making announcement that relates to their son, their 29yearold son on flight 370 heading too beijing. A son who has a daughter and a wife and they just had to sit here and watch this and as you were hearing early early, we saw here at this hotel where the families are staying. We saw them in the build up to this on their phones receiving that text message and email to let them know this news was going to happen. I guess the malaysians have said they want to try to keep the families informed, but stunning for them to get a text message or an email telling them that news as tom said, the text message we are told to the chinese families said we deeply regreet we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that mh370 is lost and none of those on board has survived. It is difficult to see here. The families watching and hearing the Prime Minister making that announcement on television. Guys. Keir simmons, thank you. Lets go to bob hager who followed nbc news for 25 years. The Authorities Say this is in the southern indivisiblan ocean. How do you prevent this from happening again . What we dont know is why he said that. I assume that means they made a positive identification of one of the pieces of wreckage. That is just the beginning of it. You really need these black boxes to tell you what went on in the airplane. To have a chance to find the black boxes which are pinging now for 13 more days. You have to get a piece of the wreckage. You have the tow the device from behind the ship. At a low speed. The pinger will last a bit longer. If you get the ping here is the towed ping locator device. Yeah. If you hear the ping, that will tell you to zero in on where it is on the floor of the ocean. You have to drop a nonmanned sub. Six or seven feet, with a camera in it and look and see if you can see it. You talk about the depths of the southern indian ocean can be anywhere from a couple of thousand feet up to 16,000 feet. Very difficult job. With the passage of this kind of time, nothing bad coming out about that cockpit crew so far. You have to go back. You cannot eliminate completely as they do in the early days the idea of mechanical problem causing this. Yet, why, though, wouldnt that crew issue a may day call . We speculative. If it was smoke or Something Like that, one of the things you do in smoke, you shutdown the Electrical Equipment and put the things back on one fuse at a time to locate the trouble. So, that would explain cutting all communications. It is a possible scenario. You cannot eliminate anything because we know so little. You stick with us for a while. We turn to bill neely. He is in perth, australia. He is aware of the search 1,500 miles off the coast of perth. Bill, you were on a plane as it searched this morning. Bill, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. I stepped off that u. S. Navy plane. It was a very dramatic day indeed. We were about six hours into the flight when suddenly the crew got a call to divert immediately because of two possible sightings of debris. We diverted south and we spent a very intense 30 or 40 minutes searching for debris. This boeing plane descended to 200 feet above the water. We really were skimming the indian ocean searching for the debris. Five radar operators, video camera underneath the plane giving them a continuous video feed. Spotters on either side of the plane and they tried and tried, but the visibility was appalling. There was so much sea fog even at 200 feet for most of the time, you could not actually see the ocean. We crossed over the debris field twice and they knew something was there because they were getting pings on the radar. Confirmed pings. Two or three of something in the water, but they simply could not see it. They were very frustrated indeed. They consider their mission a success because they had cleared a lot of area where they had been told to search. That was a very intense day on board that plane. A tenhour operation. They flew the lowest they have ever flown and the longest time in the search area. Bill neely in perth, australia this morning. As we turn to bob hager, gathering what was said in the News Conference this morning, it sounds like it is new satellite images to conclude that the plane went down in the southern indian ocean. We are not hearing they positively identified debris. What do you make of that . The pings are clearly something in the water. He is talking about the radar looking down from the plane and finding something in the water. That is nothing to do with the pings from the black boxes. Given what you know about what might have happened at the end of the flight, it going down at whatever angle into the water as tom costello said at 300 miles per hour. You have covered a lot of these types of crashes. What happens to the fuselage of the plane when it impacts the water at that speed . At that speed, it breaks up a lot. You get the light stuff that floats. That could be wings, skin of the fuselage. Things like that. But the strong parts of the plane is where the wings and fuselage cross. That is big and heavy. That goes down with large sections of the fuselage pretty much to the bottom right away. That and the tail is heavy. The tail is where the black boxes are. Heavy and strong sturucturally. It is the biggest impact where you need for the investigation. One of the most perplexing aspects of this from the beginning has been that abrupt turn. That is the piece that doesnt fit. Absolutely. And we cant decide whether or not this is something intentional or some kind of accident. It continues to elude authorities. You could say that if there was some onboard emergency, to try to turn the plane around to go for the nearest airport on the other side of the peninsula or back to kuala lumpur, Something Like that, that they put that in. If the radio was still operative, they did not have time because they were dealing with an emergency to do it. Or, conversely, if it is an issue with the humans in the cockpit, you know, they could have had a fight going on in the cockpit and they dont have time to say anything on the radio. They may have been trying to turn the plane back to kuala lumpur or another airport. Keep in mind weather playing a factor as bill neely mentioned. They are going from summer into fall in the southern hemisphere. Visibility is down to basically nothing. They have to get a ship out there before they can make a definitive identification. You could not pick a more impossible place. They have located things after a long time, air france, we know was a couple of years. A black box in the med down for nine years and they found it. They will this too. That concludes the special report. That and more ahead all day long on nbc. Were back now on today. We have breaking news on the mudslide in washington state. The death toll has climbed to eight people overnight. Take a look at the photograph. This shows the area before the mudslide occurred. There had been slides in the past smaller slides. Now we can take a look at the after picture. An entire area has been swept out. Mud encompassing enormous area. Eight people have died. Rescue crews are trying to find survivors. Roads washed out. We have Miguel Almaguer with more in oso. Reporter matt, good morning. As soon as the sun rises here, rescue teams will once again scour the debris field. Ago he mefrks ras you mentioned eight people are dead. More of those could climb today. This is what rescue teams face today. A wave of mud 20 feet deep. One square mile of rocks, tree and debris. Here in the rubble is where the search grows more desperate. The conditions are very, very muddy in places, it is still like quick sand. We werent able to search the entire debris field. This is a major slide. Theres houses on to, down into the main road. Reporter triggered saturday by a rainsoaked mountain, a massive chunk of hillside suddenly gave way. There was no warning, nowhere to run. The torrent of mud crushed 30 homes and swept over cars. Pleas for help could be heard for 12 hours. Were hearing cries, possibly a child. Rescue teams pulled a 6monthold boy and six others from the mud alive. The voices theyre hearing are literally encased in 20 foot of mud. Greg regelbrugges brother john and sisterinlaw chris are among those missing. If someone can survive, its him. Reporter on social media, the faces and stories of those who vanished are being shared by their families. Loved ones both young and old. Reed miller tries his son joseph every hour. At the tone, please record your message. He fears hell never see him again. I just kind of picture the house being ripped up and him in there. Reporter this morning, the mudslide is over. But for families, the pain has just begun. Though, authorities do fear that the death toll here will rise. They say there is one piece of good news. There was fears of catastrophic flooding, but those fears have diminished. Matt. Miguel, thank you very much. We have more news from tamron. President obama is in netherlands with the g7 summit. We have Peter Alexander in the netherlands with more. Peter, good morning. Reporter tamron, good day. President obama arrived this morning for the first of the tour. The first will take place a matter of hours from now. That is hastily added meeting with the g7 leaders. New urgency information the meeting as they discuss the situation in ukraine. A short time ago, we heard from president obama. He said the u. S. And europe are united in the costs on russia. The issue is how strong the costs will be and how far the european leaders will go with the trade partners. President obama said despite the takeover the crimea, he doesnt want europe a Battle Ground between east and west. That thinking should have ended with the cold war. Tamron. Thank you. A Big Oil Spill in one of the nations most vital shipping lanes and threatening wildlife. We have nbcs Janet Shamlian in galveston, texas. Reporter good morning. This is a problem that is growing larger by the hour. We have cruise ships stuck if port. The oil has swamped a preserve. They are finding oil and birds. This for the third day, has shutdown one of the biggest shipping channels in the world. There is no timeline on when it will open. The oil has been spotted as far as 12 miles offshore. Authorities are skimming it, but it will take a long time. Tamron. Janet, thank you very much. 7 19. Matt and savannah. A lot going on. Mr. Roker. The pacific west will be looking at more heavy rain in that area. 60 miles to the northeast of seattle. As that rain comes in, you can see over the next 24 hours, it will come down heavy where they do not need this. Unfortunately, they are looking at least 1 inch of rain over the next 48 hours. That is probably going to hamper rescue efforts there. Around the rest of the country today, we are looking for sunny skies in the northeast. Rain in the gulf coast. Discover card.

Investigators spent the night picking through evidence in San Franciscos tenderloin neighborhood after a shooting injured seven. All the victims were taken to San Francisco general. None of the injuries are considered life threatening. Most of the people were shot in arms and legs. The fight broke out near turk and taylor streets about 9 00 last night. Investigators hope Surveillance Video and witnesses help them figure out what happened. San jose Police Officer accused of raping a woman could enter a plea. Jeffrey graves was arrested. Investigators say he forced his way into a hotel room and raped a woman. Hours earlier graves and other officers were called to her house. She wanted to spend the night at a hotel so graves dropped her off at one. The detectives say he later returned and sexually assaulted her. Lets check the forecast now with meteorologist christina loren. How are we looking . Pretty good. Good morning to you. Good morning to you at home. What a cool shot i have to show you. The fog getting ready to swallow the bay bridge. The onshore flow increasing, weve got a storm system just offshore its going to impact our weather as we head through tomorrow. For today well see additional clouds, temperatures in the 40s now, were headed to the upper 60s, and low 70s out there. Even mid 70s along the peninsula. 76 for you. 68 in the east bay and 78 in the trivalley. Youll hit the upper 60s even with increasing clouds down in San Francisco. I want to give you a taste what if to expect. Showers by 7 00 a. M. , into the south bay by 10 00 a. M. And well see activity about all day. Here is mike. Were looking at a nice easy drive 101 at 680. To the maps thats not the whole story. You come up 101, you approach tully and story we had a crash which moved to the shoulder. That ripples back to the 85 101 split in the northbound direction. Thats the commute for the south bay. Slowing on the east bay, were starting to see 101 slow on the southbound side. And there is the bay bridge toll plaza. A beautiful view. Low clouds as christina said, back to you. Another local update coming up. It is therefore, with deep sadness and regret that i must inform you that according to this new data, flight 370 ended in the southern indian ocean. That is the news families of those aboard did not want to hear. We are back at 7 30 on monday morning, the 24th of march, 2014. That was the Prime Minister of malaysia, announcing what was the fate of the flight 370. He said based on the new satellite data conducted by the british authorities, they have come to no other conclusion that the missing flight plunged into the ocean in the southern course and all 239 people on board were killed. They knew where the plane was at a certain period of time in its flight and based on that location, it would not have enough fuel to get to the west or east or any known landing point. It would have run out of gas over the southern waters. That is why they are conducting an intense search there. That is why the search continues. Also making headlines, the death toll from the tragic mudslide in washington is eight people. The situation is fluid. And president obama arrived in the netherlands overnight. He begins a weeklong trip to europe. He will discuss the crisis in ukraine and how to prevent the Russian Troops into the country. Lets start this half hour with the Oscar Pistorius trial. The prosecution appears ready to wrap up the case. We have nbcs jeff rossen with us from pretoria. Jeff, good morning. Reporter matt, good morning to you. A bombshell in court. The police cell phone expert. The witness taking the stand and revealing all the private messages on whatsapp. Oscar and reeva used it all the time. They used it weeks before he shot and killed her. Oscar pistorius cried in court today as experts were analyzing their cell phone records. The couple had an argument january 27th, reeva writes, you have picked on me since you got back from cape town. I was not flirting with anyone today. I feel sick you suggested that. You made a scene at the table and made us leave early. We are living in a double standard relationship. I am scared sometimes. His response, i howant to talk you. I was upset you left me after we got food to talk to a guy. Then days before pistorius shot and killed her, a shooting he calls an accident, they were fighting again. Reeva to pistorius, i regard myself as a lady. I did not feel like one tonight. Im a person, too. Im trying my best to make you happy. I cant be attacked by outsiders for dating you and attacked by you. Earlier today, prosecutors got back to the root of the case with another neighbor who said she heard it all that night. I said to my husband, it sounds to me as if it was a family murder. Why else would she scream like that. Reporter she insists her balcony window was open with a clear view of pistorius house. With these photos in court. I could still hear the skriming up until the third or second set of shots. I also heard a man screaming. I could not hear what he was screaming. I would not make it out, but a definite male voice. Reporter the defense team admits she could not hear well. What it was reeva. What if it was a highpitched oscar . You cannot be 100 correct . In my opinion, it is 100 reeva. Reporter reeva wrote to pistorius, my voice annoying. You are quick to act when you are unhappy. She just wants to love and be loved. Maybe we cant do that for each other right now. The expert on the stand recovered 35,000 pages from reevas phone alone, but with this information, matt and savannah, as we have been telling you, he claims it was an accident. He mistook her for an intruder, but prosecutors clearly trying to make their case for premeditated murder today. And the prosecution wrapping its case in a strong fashion if they wrap this week. Jeff rossen in pretoria. Thank you very much. Lets switch gears and get a check of the weather with al. It is nice and warm in florida. They set records in miami and ft. Lauderdale. 90 degrees. You make your way to appare appalachacola. We have showers making its way across and we are looking at rain and showers over the next 24 hours. Some of this is going to be heavy at times as low pressure develops off the southeastern atlantic coast. That will cause problems for us. You can see anywhere from 1 to 2 7 36. Happy monday to you. Im meteorologist christina loren. The fog is taking over San Francisco. Take a look at this. As we head throughout the day today, some of this will burn off and we expect thick low clouds to roll right back in steadily as we head through about 3 00 p. M. Temperatures are going to be comfortable and then drop starting tomorrow with rain moving in. 76 on the north bay. Temperatures are going to crash tomorrow as well. Rain starts tomorrow morning. And thats your latest weather. Coming up on trending, is president obama getting ready to bid farewell to his blackberry . [ animals shouting ] aaaahhhh.

Were going to talk to them and their hero firefighter in a moment. But first more on their harrowing ordeal. It was a typical afternoon along the icy des moines river. 7 and 12yearold brothers, dylan and Corbin Crawford were throwing rocks along the shore enjoying the day outside until things took a dangerous turn. One of them got their shoe stuck and it went flying on the ice. They went out to retrieve the shoe and next thing they knew they were floating down the river. The ice they were standing on broke away from the river bank headed toward a hydroelectro dam. The brothers clinging to each other as they drifted downstream. Got really, really, really scared. Rescue crews raced against time throwing them a rope and life jackets in case the thin ice gave way. After 45 harrowing minutes, rescuers were finally able to get a boat to the boys hauling them off the ice and into the safety of their mothers arms. I scooped them up and just was so thankful to have them in my arms. Well, dylan and corbin are with us now along with their mom barbara and alan the firefighter who rescued them. Good morning. Good morning. When you got that call and youre driving to the river, what was going through your mind . Must have been terrifying moments. Oh, i was petrified. I got the call while i was at work. And as soon as they told me what was going on, i ran out the door. Barely even told anybody what i was doing. And got in my car as soon as i could. It seemed like eternity before i got there. But it was probably between five and ten minutes, honestly. Dylan and corbin, when you were out there on that ice floe and it was moving, what were you thinking . Were you pretty scared . Yeah. Sudden death. Maybe sudden death. Were you crying for help . How did you get anyones attention . My brother. Help help us were going to die do you have to do that every tv show . Ill try to be like you. Hes reenacting what happened. And this wonderful firefighter comes along. Tell us about the rescue. There they are out there and you had to basically swim towards them . It was the the river was rising. It was slowly rising, but we had a group of guys. My shift on the fire department, we were ready to go as soon as we got there. We got our gear on before we left the station. And got there and we thankfully just a few weeks ago, maybe a month or so ago, kind of practiced some ice rescue stuff. Still somewhat fresh in our heads. Scary in and of itself to have them floating on this. They were actually headed to even more danger. Can you explain . They have a dam they were probably about 100 yards from and if something wouldve put it over. Could have been a worse situation than it was. Barbara, we saw the image of you when the firefighter brought them to you and you gave them a hug. What was that moment like . Oh, my legs were jello. I was trying to do my best to stay calm for them so they would stay calm. But as soon as they came close to me, i scooped corbin up and both of us stood there and cried for probably a good five minutes. And then dylan came up and ran into the arms of his sister. And we were just all glad to be back together. Absolutely. But i know that once the relief wore off, you wanted to teach him a little lesson, too. Very much so. And, guys, what did you learn from this whole experience . Ice is bad. Very bad. The dam is bad. Very bad. I dont like the dam, no one likes ice. Except for a beverage. Thats a good lesson to hold on to. Thank you so much. Not a problem. Thats just what we do. Going to work, doing our job. Doing what we love. Got a good group of guys and all worked together to get the job done every day. Crawford family, glad to see you here on dry land. Thank you. Thank you.

One, in a Clinical Trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin theres no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. If you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why im shooting for Something Better. Eliquis.

Is president obama finally ready to part with one of his most prized possessions . Not joe biden, savannah. Getting me in trouble. Since he first took office in 2008, he said there were two habits he could not kick, smoking and using a blackberry. Well, he ditched cigarettes a long time ago and now his beloved smartphone could get the boot. In what would be a symbolic blow to struggling blackberry, the wall street journal saying the white house is testing phones from samsung and lg. Spokesperson at the white house pushing back saying no changes are imminent. Apparently other phone companies have made Great Strides coming up with phones that are more and more secure, which is one of the reasons he was hanging on to his blackberry. Not just the blackberry you get over at radioshack. Not your grandfathers its like the one thing they could say. The president still uses it. Right. I hear hes going back to a beeper, too. Thats going to be cool. Lets say youre hunting for a job, aced the interview and the employer wants to check your references. Youre thinking, im as good as hired, right . Well, a new survey says maybe not. Guess what, 62 of employers reported receiving negative reviews of a job candidate, 69 changed their mind about a potential hire after speaking with a reference. Lets pause right here. Have you given bad job references before . I have. You have . Now that i think about it, i have. Honest. Just honest. And i knew that the person that used me as a reference and asked me and i said, yes, you can. And when i spoke with the potential new employer, i was honest. And it wasnt a great review. I felt like i was on the hook. And it starts early. When someone picks up the phone to ask you to be a reference, its very hard to say no. You should, though. If youre going to give them a bad reference, you should say, im going to be honest with you, here are the things you should have worked on and this is what i will say. So theyre not blind sided. No comment, by the way, is just as bad. A employer says would you like to give a p reference, no, id prefer not. A bad connection. Good luck with that. How do you avoid it . I always say, you know, i didnt work that closely with this person. Thats the diplomatic way of not slamming them. Should you ask the person youre going to ask for the reference . Should you tell them you listed them as a reference . Yeah. You have to call and say i want to put you on the list. Oh, you have to. And also, you should ask the person, are you comfortable giving me a recommendation . Thats one of the recommendations. People who might give you a favorable recommendation. In my case, the guy probably knew. Like family members. Not so fast. All right. Well, now to a photo thats been liked from 27,000 times on facebook. The man in the picture. His name is mario. And he worked in the zoo where he developed a bond with beautiful animals who call it home. More recently he developed terminal cancer and it was his dying wish to pay a final visit to that zoo. And there you see what happened next, a giraffe leaning in for a last goodbye. One eyewitness its heartbreaking. Hard to see. But you know it meant the world to him to be there. They have that bond. Wow. Thats so sweet. To a lighter note. So what would force kevin bacon to once again kick off his sunday shoes . Well, how about jimmy fallon outlawing dancing on the tonight show. Where have i heard that . Well, it happened friday, pushing kevin to recreate his iconic scene from footloose. And if that wasnt enough, he got everybody to cut footloose. Lets dance its hard to tell whats then and whats now. Kevin looks so good. Of course, jimmy fallon had no choice but to lift his ban on dancing and footloose celebrating the 30th anniversary this year. It ends well. Yeah. That is whats trending today. Were back in 30 seconds. Well, heres a story thats been making headlines. Kim kardashian and her fiancee kanye west appear on magazine covers all the time. Why is there now such a backlash they have landed the coveted cover of vogue . Heres kristen dahlgren. Reporter the cover of vogue, a fashionistas dream. But for Kim Kardashian, the cover is bringing controversy. Not in a number of years has a vogue cover caused this much controversy. As soon as vogue revealed the april cover featuring kardashian and fiancee kanye west. Sarah Michelle Gellar tweeting, i guess im cancelling my vogue subscription. And while kim was tweeting, this is such a dream come true, other celebrities started poking fun. James franco and seth rogan super imposed. Theyre no strangers to mocking kimye. Remember this spoof . This time, even miss piggy and kermit got in. For kim and kanye, seems the cover was a long time coming. Heres kanye back in october on Ryan Seacrests radio show. Theres no way Kim Kardashian shouldnt be on the cover of vogue. Anna winter denies accusations kanye begged her for the shot. Saying in her editors letter, as for the cover, my opinion is its charming and touching, and it was, i should add, entirely our idea. Many people feel as if the vogue cover is the culmination of a lifes body of work. You dont think reality star. And you dont think Kim Kardashian. The issue doesnt hit newsstands until next week. But no matter how you feel about them, kim and kanye might just be living up to that new twitter worldsmosttalkedabout couple. Kristen dahlgren, nbc news.

Good morning to you. How are you . Im fine. One of yours on the list is called ways. I installed it on my phone last night. Had a little trouble starting because i forgot to tell it where i was, so it couldnt tell me where i was going. This is a gps traffic type app. What makes this different is you get realtime traffic conditions from other people on the same route youre going. So right now, ive plugged in were at Rockefeller Center and headed to ft. Lee. So on the map, i could actually see a bunch of icons. Red lines, yellow lines, traffic speeds. It really gives me an indication from other people along the same route whats happening on the road. You need a little education as to what all those icons and symbols mean, though . Some of them are happy faces, some of them are obvious. Youll see a little traffic cop. You know thats a speed camera or a visible cop around. Other things happy faces or evil faces, mad faces. People can tell you where the traffic is and construction is. Do they then give you more information how long it might last . Sure. You can comment, give that, get construction, traffic accidents, all types of other delays, as well. Speed. So if there is something happening up ahead, they can let you know. In 15 minutes, its going to clear. That was called ways, download it for free. A lot of people spend a lot of hours in their cars. True. This is a big time saver. This one you like called push pin and great for saving time and money on shopping. On shopping. We spend a lot of time and hours shopping. Heres the thing about push pins. Whats great about this.

A little bit of oil, salt. Parmesan cheese, butter. Were going to add it now. This is whats going to make it. Were going to add the Parmesan Cheese and butter. Im going to stir that. Whats the dessert youre going to make with this . Blueberry turnovers. This looks amazing. Yeah, theyre really, really easy to make. Ive got some fresh blueberries, a lovely filling thats going to resemble almost the taste of a cheesecake. Right. Thats going to be delicious and well wrap them in puff pastries and theyll be good to go in the oven. Im going to rinse my blueberries quickly. I want to get those rinsed and ready to go. Laura came over from italy. Started cooking a lot and youtube, you have over 1 Million People online, selfmade cooks and people inspired by you. And its a fantastic business. Social media.

Like i mentioned before, youre used to the amazing world of Beautiful People make great food and it just but its attainable. It is attainable. You dont have to go to cooking school. I didnt go to cooking school. You just have to have passion for it. Thats my motto. If you like it, if you have passion, youre good to go. Im just going to get some lemon juice into my blueberries with corn starch and sugar. Should i pull this off the heat . Yep. Turn it off right now. Its nice and velvety. Its the perfect texture. Yeah. Im also going to thats perfect. Im going to grab some puff pastries. Im going to flour my surface. Did we blow off the spring salad and go for dessert . But its lovely, simple, flavorful and fresh vegetables available in pretty much every supermarket. And were going to pair that with lovely salt and pepper and fresh herbs and were ready to go. Im going to roll this out a little tiny bit. If you would crack this egg in here for me and give it i will. Im rolling out my puff pastry a little bit and take a biscuit cutter and make little circles out of there. And what i have in this little bowl here, ive got my premixture, cream cheese, little bit of vanilla. Again, give you that same flavor, almost like a cheesecake. Im going to add that to the center of the pastry. Im going to top that with a blueberry mixture. What is this egg wash going to do . Seal everything together and stay sealed. And provide a little bit of golden brown. Provide a little bit of color on the top. And these two for now. Weve got the fresh vegetables, the risotto going. Matt and al and savannah, if they want to taste a little bit of this. What do you think, guys . What do you think . Just amazing. The spring salad is delicious. Its terrific. You see . It added a Little Something special to the dish, didnt it . Light and healthy, too. It is. Guiltfree. It is. And its still a little chilly out, youve got a little bit of heartiness and winter feel the spring vegetables makes it feel like spring. Exactly. The dessert is amazing. This pastry is awesome.

Yesterday, what a game for stanford against the 11 seed, the dayton fliers on thursday, that will take place on memphis. Getting a look at that monday morning forecast with you with christina loren. Good morning. Good morning to you at home. Temperatures are still pretty chilly out there, although were actually creeping up with the sunshine in the south bay right now. 76 degrees right there. You can see plenty of low clouds over San Francisco. 76 later on today in the north bay. Overall, weve got rain moving in as of tomorrow and a lot of snow on the way to tahoe. Potentially up to six feet before all is said and done. Give me one reason why i should believe youve really changed. Huh . Okay. Uh, 2hour service windows. Give me another one. Uh, our on time all the time guarantee. One more. Night and weekend appointments. You guys have really changed. Who am i gonna badmouth at parties now . I guess my cousin. Hes so pale. From nbc news, this is today with al roker, nally morales, willie geist and tamron hall. Welcome on a monday morning, march the 24th, 2014. Hes back hes back back on the block. Im willie geist along with al and tamron. Natalie has the day off. What is it . Like 30 degrees today . Its terrible. Come on, spring. Not quite. Bring spring back with you from your spring break. It was warmer where i was than it was here. Antarctica . In colorado. Good news, we have some skiing weather coming up. Theres snow tomorrow, right . Yeah. Did you have a good time . I had a great time. We went out west skiing. My kids are 6 and 4. And to see 4yearold george who comes up to about my knee. Thats george in the blue. In the blue. To go up a chair lift to the top of the Colorado Rockies without us. Hes with an instructor. But were like, is this okay . I thought he just left. Extreme skiing by himself. Thats impressive. They learn so fast at that age and so low to the ground, no fear. No fear. Go, george. It was a good trip. But im glad to be back. Glad to have you back. Thank you, thank you. Boy, tons of news going on. We start with the story out of the state of washington where the governor has declared a state of emergency after a deadly mudslide wiped out two communities on saturday. At least eight people dead, another 23 missing at this point. 23 missing. Check out the photo here. This is what the area looked like before the mudslide. About an hour northnorthwest of seattle. Heres what it looked like after. And they had mudslides in this area, but nothing like this. What causes the conditions to be right for Something Like this . Well, theyve been getting heavy rain there over the last few weeks. Almost 8 inches of rain. And so you have this shifting going on underneath the topsoil, an erosion. And, all of a sudden, you know, it just gives way with no warning. Rescuers say they could hear people crying out for help. 15 feet to 20 feet of mud. This is like trying to go through cement. You know, wet cement. As rescue teams pulled a 6monthold baby and six others out alive. Unfortunately at a press conference, they went out and they havent heard the cries they were hearing earlier in the weekend. Gregs brother john and sisterinlaw chris are among the missing. Here is what he had to say. Their voices theyre hearing are encased in 20 feet of mud. If someone can survive it, its him. And his wife, im sure. Gosh. Were thinking about those families. I mean, you talk about 23 people missing, and it happens in a flash. No way to prepare for it. No warning. Nothing. This is like if you think of an avalanche. Right. Except with rock and mud and trees and debris. I mean, it literally takes out homes, cars. Anything in its path. Wow. I guess these were two kind of old fishing villages with older, smaller homes. And it looks like they didnt stand much of a chance. Quite frankly its completely leveled out there. When i saw this last night on nightly news, ive never heard of anything like this comparable with a mudslide that swept away so much and so many lives. And it was really heartbreaking for the rescuers. They had to leave because it wasnt safe. Right. And they could hear people. As a rescuer, first responder, thats got to tear you apart. We hold out hope. Yeah. Some uplifting news as we hold out hope for those folks, definitely, in washington state. One of the Boston Marathon survivors is about to be a dad. You certainly, i hope, remember this iconic image. It was of jeff bowman taken moments after the bombing. You see his leg there just mangled after the explosion. The man in the cowboy has helped him from the scene. He just lost both legs. He announced he is expecting his if i recall child with his girlfriend, erin hurley. The baby is due this summer. Nothing like a summer baby. Little tshirts on. So cute. Anyway you got into that i love summer babies. I love it. You dont see them in the winter. When winter babies are all bundled up and theres a joy when you see them finally see the fat rolls on the arms. Enough about me. Enough about al. Anyway, he made the announcement on the Charity Facebook page. The Jeffrey Bowman foundation. Last july, he talked with brian about the experience, of course, standing there when the explosion itself took place. But, today, celebrating his life and the new life thats on the way. So congratulations. So sweet. We love that. Love that. Spreading good news. Love that. Congratulations. Now, heres a story that i dont quite understand this controversy. We dont either. I dont get it. Its the cover issue of april vogue, all right. Kim kardashian and kanye west are together on and, look, im not a huge kanye fan. But this is a gorgeous couple. The dress is stunning. Shes stunning, he looks great. Theyre in love. Right. People have gone nuts online about this. Just so upset about this cover. I dont understand it. I guess the criticism i dont share it, but i guess the criticism is that vogue occupies a rarefied air in fashion. And that a reality tv star should not be on the cover. I dont get that argument, quite. But a lot of people have advanced that. Number one, he is not, to your point, hes done shady things that i could go on about, definitely, but he is im a little concerned there. I could have gone with the other thing. Nevertheless, he is a designer, shes a designer. He is, in my opinion, one of the best hip hop musicians in the business right now. No question. And you can have opinions but this whole ground swell of going on to twitter and facebook and just tearing people down. Its a magazine, which i subscribe to, by the way, and i love it. Its a fashion magazine, not the nobel prize journal. Anna winter might ban me, which i would never be on anyway, but its vogue. Its a fashion magazine. Its a fashion magazine. Whats the problem . So the blog, the fashion blog tweeted theres a difference between controversial and classless. Learn it. Buffy actress, sarah Michelle Gellar tweeted, well, i guess im canceling my vogue subscription. Sarah michelle seems like she would be a really fun person to hang out with, i dont know why you have to tweet it out. Just cancel it. And i dont like when people say, whos with me . If you believe in it, stand on your own and cancel it. Why do you have to get the mob the great thing about it is in the social media world, when Something Like this happens, people are going to jump on the bandwagon. Take a look. I love this. Vague magazine. Kermit and miss piggy. But someone is upset. They are saying her bouquet is all wrong. Youve got james franco and seth rogan. And one other one that came out. Oh oh willie, your arms are so thin i know. I work on my arms a lot. Did you do that on the spring break . Im a little bustier than id like to be. And the way al is caressing you, it reminds me of when you both kissed on air. No, no, were not going back there. Come on. Were not going back there. Give me some happiness. Ive got a framed copy for you. Nothing says welcome back like a wedding photo. Hang in the bedroom so when christine wakes up. Christina can look and see your sweet, sweet car rest. We went to prom together, that same pose. Look how happy you look. It was a beautiful day. And if theres controversy about it, so be it, sarah michelle. I didnt want that shoot to end. I really didnt. Surely we have Better Things to do with our time than worrying about vogue covers. Were not worried about it. Were just trying to be like everyone else. Ive got a great, great piece of video to show you. Its incredible. Magic for dogs posted on youtube three days ago. Already has more than 4 million views. Its a magician who is tricking dogs. Its just terrible. No fair. What . Scoobydoo . Aw. Look, hes like, come on. Come on. Give it up. Got it. Did you drop it . I thought it was right there. Which way did it go . I know it was here. Aww. Give him the treat already. Come on. All right. Come on. Okay. The heck with you. Not falling for this nonsense youve got going on. Hes not having it. Sally went after him. Sally went and took him down. I love the one dog that looks at the camera. Did you guys see where it went . Wheres Ashton Kutcher . Did they give them the treat eventually . Havent you thrown something and watch your dog its so mean. With pepper, it only works once and then shes like really, really. Come on, what do i look like . A weather man . Come on, lets go. Well, i am a weather man. Yes, you are. Carry out your duties. Can you throw the cold and we look and its really summer . I wish i could. Heres our problem, weve got cold air coming out of canada, big hudson bay low. And the return flow around this thing is just funneling this cold air down into the plains, the great lakes. Going down south, in fact. 60 in atlanta today, 36 new york, 34 in chicago, bangor, 24 degrees. And heres the other problem. Weve got this low pressure thats developing tomorrow morning off the southeastern atlantic coast. This thing comes up the coast, deep moisture funneling in from the atlantic. That cold arctic air on top. Brisk, cold winds. Strong northeasterly winds. Classic noreaster. Question is, how close to the coast is it . That will determine our snowfall. Right now, we think were looking at about an inch of snow in washington, d. C. So the snow starts late tuesday morning, rain in the afternoon, ends as light snow tuesday night. For new york city, 2 to 4 inches of snow by the afternoon, steady snow into the night. The snow ends early wednesday morning. As you get out into new england, the snow begins tuesday after midnight, heaviest snow wednesday. The storm exits wednesday afternoon, heavy snow at times, 45mileperhour winds, and the eastern end of new england, cape cod could see blizzardlike conditions with up to 18 inches of snow. Were gong to continue to track this for you over the next couple of days. Thats whats going on around th 9 11 now on a monday morning. Temperatures are still pretty chilly out there but those numbers are creeping up, as the sun is now out. Youre not beginning to be able to see much of it in San Francisco. Still plenty of low clouds, but they will be burning off, only to return by about 3 00 p. M. Today. Two to three hours of sunshine. As we head throughout the afternoon in San Francisco, lotss of sunshine on the way to the south bay, at least for today, major changes come to your forecast. As of tomorrow morning, showers move in. Looki ing heavy at times for pa of your tuesday. Concert with shakira wednesday morning on the plaza. Thats going to be interesting. Why, al roker . Well, were talking snow and if this moves closer to the coast, we could be talking a lot of snow. Right now 2 to 3, 2 to 4 inches. My hips dont lie. Oh, no. Is that a whole walk up to get us there . It was. Coming up next, he plays the mysterious husband on the blacklist. Who is this tom keene anyway . And we try to get answers from the guy ryan eggold joins us after this. Egglands best eggs.

The san jose Police Officer accused of raping a woman in a hotel room could enter a plea today. Jeffrey graves was arrested earlier this month. Investigators say he forced his way into a hotel room and raped a woman while he was on duty. Hours earlier, graves and several other officers were called to that same womans house when she got into a domestic fight with her husband. She decided she wanted to spend the night at a hotel, so graves dropped her off at one. Detectives say he later returned and sexually assaulted her. Good morning nelly woah.

[ male announcer ] give extra. Get extra. We all know that person with a magnetic personality who can walk into a room and get everyones attention immediately. Well, you can be the one that owns the room just by following, apparently, a few strategies. And here to show you how to do it is more magazines editor in chief. Good morning to you both. Good morning. Hi, how are you . I think this is something a lot of people can understand. You want to make a statement at a party, but you dont know how to do it. Right. Get in there and own the room. Actually ahead of it, you want to prep your brain to own the room. Have a lot of energy, have it in your mind, im the one, im the center, and youre going to come to me. You definitely have to have that energy. And you walk in. You know those people. You walk in, they may not be running the place. But you feel gravity to them. And some people are born with a little more swagger than others. But you can learn it. Right. You can learn the swag factor. Thats the good news. Certain things in all the areas like the article talks about you can do. First thing, smile. Light it up. Let them see the pearly whites. Second thing after that, good posture. Chin up, shoulders back. Gives you purpose and direction. Dont we learn that in childhood or through life . I think you can learn it through life. Pick up on tips that other folks have. And there are definitely strategies to use. Yes, and follow people. This is how you dress, as well. Again, you dont want to be this teeny wall flower in gray against a gray wall hanging back. I mean, add some color, add some a lot of it has to do with energy, though. Gravitas, communication skills and appearance, which you mentioned. Yes, absolutely. Dress the part. One thing, too, that women do when theyre in a room, im always sitting there going like this, uhhuh, uhhuh, im the active listener. And women in particular need to stop being so active. You dont see men in a big, important area when the other men are talking going like the dog, you know, thats me. And you have to be the one who is commanding it all. Well, im going to embarrass you a little bit, tamron. You said this to a lot of us. You said when you go into a room where there are a lot of people, you get a little bit uncomfortable. At a Holiday Party or something for work, you get to one place and you stay there. Because i think people perceive me of having a not fak but when im at a party, we had our work party, and my strategy is to get one person, which ive done to you at a party, as well. And i stick with that person, and i feel like i dont talk to anyone. I have no confidence to work a room, which is counter to what people would certainly think. What advice do you give tamron in that room . Pretend youre the host of the event. Good point. Pretend youre walking in, youre throwing the party, its your show. But youre making direct eye contact. Theyre going to give you the sign whether its okay to say hello. And you can say, hey, hows your evening . Good to see you. Make your way through the crowd. You guys have to realize, i remember going somewhere and she was telling me, the last person you want to sit next to at my house for dinner party is my husband chris. Hes incredibly, incredibly quiet, sit next to me. Im the talker. And you dont necessarily have the same personality at work or in your job, and especially in your kinds of professions or if youre an actor that you do in your personal life. Sometimes it takes a little bit of that okay. Im on, im a little different. Willie mentioned swagger. And ill confess, one of the things i used to do. The song you can tell by the way i use my walk. Sound track in your head. And it would give me confidence to walk into a room. Thats a good tip. This is the most revealing segment weve ever done. Do you find women have this issue more . I think its personality based. I think it is personality. The only other thing i can suggest especially for women is women tend to come in men come in and sit down at the table and put their stuff out and their hands are out and things are out. Women tend to pull in the seat next to everybody and squeeze in and all that. So one of the things women have to do is expand their body language because were smaller. Right. Again, if you dress. It helps, dont wear anything so, so, so tight. Like you no, its great. Youve got a little volume there and then you can walk into a room and people notice you. Dressing the part is not my problem. I think you said like projecting out. Thats something i could work on. A song in my head. You play the the sh. The energy. That translates. I cant be alone. Were going to all practice this together at the next party. Thank you for the great advice. Greatly appreciate it. Up next get out your slow cooker.

Heres three more, weeknight meals, here to share easy recipes. Pork shoulder and slow cooker were made for each other. This is true. First of all, slow cooker should not be left just for the wintertime. You can make dishes throughout the summer and throughout the whole year. Were going to go into different seasons and different nationalities. Nice. Well mix it up so much. Lets start with our cuban style braised pork. Do you want to help and dump these things in here . Orange rind. Lots of garlic. Love that. This is orange, and we have oregano and cumin. Tell us about the cut. Okay. This is pork shoulder. The reason, im sorry, al. This is a tough cut and it really does very well. Thats good. Not that. Thats good. Im going to quick rub this on. And you need it for the slow cooking process . You need a tough cut and a fair amount of fat because it keeps it moist and wonderful. One side . On this side and put a little bit more because i dont want to wear it when i put it in. Ill wear it anyway. Im garnishing myself not you. And what makes this cuban is the citrus, oregano and a seasoning you can find these days everywhere. You know what im talking about. Let me hose down a little bit. And now were going to add when i said citrus, orange juice and lime. You could use bitter orange if you can find it. Is there a cooking oil in there . You dont need it. And that little amount of liquid with the pork. This is a whole meal. Weve got carrots, potatoes and onions. I love these one dish things. How much liquid it produces is about 4 cups. You put the slow cooker on low for about ten hours. Beautiful. But i want to point out something. A slow cooker is about the wattage, 75 watt bulb. If youre worried about leaving it on, dont worry. Could you leave them in put them in later . No, take them out and crisp them on top in a nonstick pan. Thats night one. Night two is a pork asian pork salad. A lot of vegetables. What makes kids you see this orange . Its a carrot ginger dressing, like you get in a japanese restaurant. And kids love that. And al, you want to crumble up some ramen noodles. Very nice. Thats night two. We went asian. Night three, were going mexican. This is pizole from mexico. What is it . Its a pork stew. Corn thats been treated, it loses isnt that yummy . Anyway, it puffs up, its yummy, what you turn into grits. And whats fun about this, everybody gets their own bowl of soup for supper.

Were all about helping you shop smarter and big week for us, were going fully national on newsstands. So you can find us everywhere. Were going to do clothes, electronics and baby stuff. Lets start with donna and clothes, right . This bag i got a couple of years ago. It is gently used, really spacious, you can compile a bunch of stuff in it. And actually they still sell it in stores and this dress i got, on sale, i knew fit well, kind of generic but has a crazy pattern. Basically what were going to do with these items, we took them to thread flip. Com, a website and app, you post pictures of your items and other people come and buy them from you through the site, they take a 20 commission. They told us you would get 75 for the set. It was originally 178. Thats an amazing deal. The dress . The dress, we love this because it 35. We all have, a no name designer. But adorable. We got to scrooge. Good job, donna. All right, what do you got, babe . I have a 3yearold ipad here, but i produce the whats trending today segment every day at 8 10, watch, week days, here on nbc. Are you 499. We took this to a website called buy my tronics. Com, you type in the item, they give you a price quote, you mail it in to them with free shipping. They told us we would get 207 for this ipad. And you do have to clear it, but thats not that hard. And so just be super honest about the condition of your device because if it has a crack or anything, theyll send it back and you wont get the money. So jamie is one of our producers. Clearly we have three kids and my life is cluttered. So here we go. Everything is brandnew. Lets look at jamies kids. Okay, anyway. They are adorable. A tricycle i bought two years ago and i have three of them, so i need to get rid of one. This is about a year and a half old. Everything is this bomber jacket. So winwin. Youre going to clear out your closet, make money. We took this to once upon a child, a consignment store, 200 odd locations around the country. They said we could get 15 for the tricycle, not bad. 10 for the bomber jacket. And then 25 for the snow suit. 50, the reality is youre making money. I would have paid more for the little bomber jacket. I know. So cute. Great tips like this. Thank you, congratulations. Thank you. Latest single topping the country charts. Hes singing for us.
