A thrilling Double Overtime victory for the Los Angeles Kings over the new york rangers in game five of the stanley cup finals, and now the kings are nhl champs once again. Today saturday, june 14th, 2014. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to today on a saturday morning. Im lester holt. And im erica hill alongside jenna wolfe and dylan dreyer. We do want to get straight to todays top story, the growing cris in iraq. There have been a number of overnight developments. Lets get you caught up at this hour. Two of iraqs biggest cities, mosul and kirkuk have now fallen. Mosul is in the hands of islamic militants while kirkuk has been taken over by kurdish forces. Hundreds of iraqi men are joining the fight to protect their country. They have come to volunteer centers answering a call to defend iraq. Just a few hours ago, irans president offered his countrys help to iraq. Our chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel is in iraq this morning following all of the developments for us. Richard, good morning. Reporter good morning, erica. Hassan rouhani said that iran would consider helping the United States if the United States was sincere in its fight against terrorists in this country. That could be a change of alliances across the region. Alliances are shifting. Right now we are in the city of kirkuk. This place has long been contested. It is home to about 15 of all of iraqs known oil reserves. Everybody in the country has long wanted it. Now it is held by kurdish militias. Things are changing her rapidly as militants from isis are approaching baghdad. Iraqs second biggest city, mosul, is now under islamic sharia law. Militants from the al qaeda offshoot i d sis decreed all women must veil. Mosul was one of the first cities occupied by u. S. Troops a decade ago. American officials said democracy would then spread from here. And the men the United States trained to fight the isis assault are still surrendering. With no protection hundreds of thousands of civilians are leaving mosul. This family walked 20 miles to sul. Pe mosul. Now this 20 is their home. Omar blames the u. S. Backed shiite prime minister, saying he alienated all sunnis in the country, made them feel second class. Volunteers and aid workers are building tents as fast as they can. There has been a massive wave of people fleeing their homes. The fear here is this is just the beginning. Kathy robinson says the displaced hundreds of thousands need food and shelter. Its dusty, its hot. Theres nowhere to stay, theres nowhere to go. Reporter but this conflict may have changed. The shiite majority awoke. In the holy city of karbala where shia islam was forged in battle 13 centuries ago, volunteers signed up for a new war. Shiite clerics called the faithful to arms. And promised those who died fighting isis a place in paradise. And today strong words from the iraqi prime minister. So far we have not seen much from the Iraqi Government or the Iraqi Security forces. They havent been fighting, they have been dropping their uniforms. Today maliki said that the government and the army will soon launch a major counter attack. Its unclear if the iraqi army will now act or if well just see more uniforms on the road. Lester, erica, back to you. Richard, thank you. President obama is in close contact with his National Security team this weekend as he weighs the u. S. Options for military involvement in iraq. On friday he did make it clear that u. S. Troops will not be sent into ground combat. We cant do it for them. And in the absence of this type of political effort, shortterm military action, including any assistance we might provide, wont succeed. This should be a wakeup call. Retired u. S. Army colonel jack jacobs is an nbc news military affairs analyst, a recipient of the medal of honor and two purple hearts for his service during the vietnam war. Colonel jacobs, thanks for being here. Good morning, lester. The president and his team say theyre drafting responses right now and plans over the next few days. This insurgent push didnt happen overnight. Did the u. S. Intelligence miss that . Why wouldnt plans already be in place for Something Like this . They should be in place. If they werent in place, its because they did miss it. You dont have to be a Rocket Scientist to figure out that maliki has alienated everybody from the instant he took office and Something Like this was bound to happen. Theres been plenty of signs. Theres no reason not to be prepared or have politically boots on the ground is a dead issue as far as the administration is concerned. The only option is air power. Maybe drones, fighter planes. How limiting is that and would that get the job done in terms of holding back the offense. One of the things our intelligence capability. To give information 40 the iraqi forces if they fight. Provide limited airstrikes in order to hit concentrations of the enemy. But these are tactical measures for what is effectively a strategic problem, its not going to change the arc of the conversation on the battlefield over the long term. I dont mean to open a political conversation any way you look at it the u. S. Finger precipitates are on the situation in iraq that led to this at this point. Is doing nothing an option for the u. S. . I think doing nothing is an option. Its a stronger option than putting boots on the ground. If we have boots on the ground there may be limited numbers of people in special operations and training but i dont think that its going to change anything whatsoever. Whats interesting is that you are liable to wind up with a big civil war that will last six months to two years and ultimately you wind up having a blood thirsty desperate in charge of iraq back where we started from. Back where we started from. Eight years of war, 4,000 american soldiers killed. Are we looking at going back, that all that gets erased . Yes. All that will have been erased. You cant make it up. The difference between al maliki and saddam hussein, they are both crooks but maliki is weak. What is going to replace him is somebody as strong as saddam husse hussein. Its a bad completely bad scenario and like i said you cant make it up. If you presented this to somebody making a movie throw you out of the office as being unbelievable. And even more unbelievable is that we may wind up being the allies of iran in trying to get isis off the battlefield. Thanks very much. Appreciate it. There are new developments in ukrai ukraine. We report that a military plane was shot down. Annabell, good morning. Good morning. This was a big military transport plane carrying equipment and provisions and 40 troops and a crew of 9. It was coming in to land at luhansk and shot down by pro russian separatists according to the Defense Ministry reportedly killing all 49 on board. The question is where the rebels get this military hardware from. The Ukrainian Government has accused the russians of supplying it and accusations denied by russia but yesterday the state Department Said it believes several rocket launchers and three tanks no longer used by the Russian Military crossed the border from russia into eastern ukraine. So with this loss of life the largest death toll for the Ukraine Military 18 single instance since unrest began, tensions are escalating again. The newly elected president Petro Poroshenko proposal for peace are not given much chance of success. Thank you. Former p. O. W. Bowe bergdahl is spending his first full day back in the United States today, a day after he returned to texas for rehabilitation. A team of health care and Army Professionals is helping him readjust. Katy tur is at Fort Sam Houston where he is recovering. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Right now he is undergoing what they call stage 3 of his reintegration. Its unclear how long hell be here but in the coming days and weeks he will start to do more comprehensive testing including conversations about his five years in captivity. Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl is said to be in stable condition after arriving early friday morning. His first steps on american soil in five years, also military transport plane on a tarmac in san antonio. This morning hes at Brook Medical Center whan Officials Say is stage 3 of his reintegration. Decompression, slowly improving. Reporter these letters reportedly written by Sergeant Bergdahl during captivity. Nbc news has not verified the letter but in them he ufrnlged people to reserve judgment. Writing if this makes it to the usa tell those involved that there are more sides to the situation. Please tell dc to wait for all evidence to come in. Senator mccain dismissed you are not free to write what you want so to me that is totally irrelevant to this conversation. Although stage 3 of the reintegration process involves reuniting with family, so far bergdahl has not chosen to contact his parents. Military doctors say a reunion will take place once the sergeant says he is ready. As for being returned to service, Officials Say that is one of the goals of reintegration. And doctors wouldnt go into many details about his state of mind whether he is happy, sad, nervous or excited to be home. One of the things they did mention, though, a small thing really, that he started to request more peanut butter. Right now lester, he does not know, he has not been made aware of the controversy around him. Katy tur, thanks very much. Lets get you caught up on the other top stories. Good morning again.

Before you go judge someone or give an opinion or spread poison out there, like maybe have a look at their life. For tara connor winning miss usa might have been the easy part.

We really enjoyed this week as we recognize all the amazing men out there in our modern dad series. This morning were talking about our own dads and the impact they have had on our lives. They have loved us unconditionally and taught us about life, loyalty and resilience. My dads name is lester holt. Hes a sr. , im a jr. My father is no nonsense. At the same time hes got a wicked sense of humor. He was an Aircraft Mechanic in the air force so hes good with his hands and hes a woodworker. He likes good music but hes never picked up an instrument in his life. My dad was honest and funny and dedicated. My dad taught me to love food and to love cooking and to trust myself in the kitchen. I was really close to my dad and i miss him all the time. He always knew how to make us laugh and smile. He was never afraid to show affection or tell us he loved us. He was so proud of me and my sister, he just felt such pride, and that meant a lot to me. He is the most loving, caring man ive ever known. Hes always right there rooting me on. Hell call me every single weekend after the show. Its me. Good show. Ill get ahold of you later. Say hello to everybody. Love you, bye. My dads name is bennett and he is hands down the hardest working, kindest, sweetest soul on the planet. My dad was born in puerto rico. We both love caribbean music and both have reggae coursing through our veins. We both love football together. I dont know how he does it but my dad can do anything. I sound like a 5yearold talking about their dad. Its not so much advice as just an example of living. Hes always been there for his family, a guy that was there for other people and i think that has been one of the most impressive things about my father. A reminder that were all just people. At the end of the day, the most important thing is to be kind to people and to treat other people the way that you want to be treated because especially because you may be on top today but maybe thats bottom tomorrow. Act like you belong there. Whether you walk into a room and dont feel comfortable, walk into a party and you feel insecure, you act like you belong there and nobody will ask questions and nobody will make you feel insecure at all. I dont know if he knows how much my wedding day meant to me. That dance i had with him. My dad said to me, referring to my husband, i hope he loves you as much as i love you and i said you know he does and he said i absolutely do. You dont need me anymore. And it wasnt that he was saying you dont need me anymore, it was i know youre taken care of, that life was going to be great no matter what. I talk about my dad a lot to my kids because i want them to know him. He loved education, he loved learning, he loved reading. My older son was almost 3 and a half when my dad died. My younger son was six weeks old but he was named after my dad. And my dad knew that and my dad got to hold him. He has not made every right decision in his life but every single decision hes made has come from a fantastic place in his heart. Thats what i have taken from him and what i will pass along. My father was a strong disciplinarian. I think ive brought that to the way ive raised my children. Not in that ogre sort of way but be respectful and speak in a certain way. He let us take our chances. If i could say one more thing to my dad, i think i would say thank you, just for setting such a great example and for being so good to us. Well, i only have one of these with me. Well have to pass it around and share. It we are so lucky to all have such powerful dads, powerful examples. A daddys girl, you know, just talking about my dad just makes mush. I can i wish he was here right now, id just run up and give him a hug. Well wait for his call. That usually comes around 9 30. Well get the review. Well all wait around for the call. No, its wonderful to have a dads day but i always say every day is a fathers day. Being a dad is the coolest job in the world. You know, nothing tops it. Maybe being a mother. Isnt that funny how watching yourself as a dad you realize youre just like your dad . I notice it with my mom. Some things that comes out of your mouth as awe parent. Who just said that . You know, my dad is not around anymore but it means so much to me to see my boys with my fatherinlaw, they have this beautiful relationship. Its really cute, they all walk the same. They all have this walk and its really sweet to see that kind of carry on. Its really nice. All right. Well, well be back in a moment. First, this is today on nbc.
