"the new york times" now reporting that an audit by the faa found dozens of problems with the production process for the 737 max, including mechanics using hotel key cards and dish soap as makeshift tools. >> this all comes amidny details that a former employee turned whistle-blower against the aerospace giant was found dead just months before his retaliation lawsuit was set to go to trial. there's also been a series of dangerous mishaps involving boeing planes including one just yesterday. a plane abruptly dropped mid-flight, injured at least 50 passengers and crew members. >> nbc's tom costello joins us with all of this. tom, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. a lot of details. we are following big headlines, as you did out overnight that the company failed dozens of faa audits and the mechanics used everyday household items to help

in the complex door-fitting process, and this all comes amid the sudden death of a former, as you mentioned, outspoken whistle-blower. this morning police in charleston, south carolina, are investigating the death of a former boeing employee turned whistle-blower. 62-year-old john barnett was found dead on friday from what the coroner calls an apparent self-inflicted gunshot. >> this is my retirement black. >> barnett retired from boeing in 2017 after working as a quality manager for more than 30 years. >> since his departure, he has taken legal action against the company, saying he was retaliated against for raising safety issues. describing a happen hazard safety culture at boeing. >> from day one, it's all been about schedule, hurry up, get it done, push the planes out, we're blind schedule, you know we

don't have time to worry about issues y'all bring up. >> reporter: in 2017 there was a review released regarding many of barnett's concerns. with regards to his sudden death, the company said, we are saddened by mr. barnett's passing and our thoughts are for his family and friends. under intense scrutiny involving boeing planes. on monday a 737 apparently dropped abruptly mid-flight, injuring at least 50 passengers and crew members. the airlines is unclear what caused the strong movement on the flight. the justice department has launched a criminal investigation into boeing following the blow-out door plug on a 737 max 9 in january. the ntsb determined the plane left the boeing back without

critical bolts that hold the plugs in place. a scathing new report found that boeing failed to comply with its own quality control procedures. >> we're working with boeing and demand that they come up with a very detailed plan within the next 90 days to fix the quality issues that are out there. >> tom, we've also learned new details about the faa audit. what do you know? >> that's right. according to a slide presentation that was reviewed by the normx, boeing failed 33 out of 89 faa audits, 33 out of 8 9d failures over a six-week period. nbc news has not seen the slides ourselves. spirit aerosystems which makes the fuselage for the plane also failed multiple audits, and in one case auditors saw mechanics using a hotel key card to check a door seal. other mechanics were seen applying liquid soap to apply fittings to a door process. boeing told nbc news this

morning, quote, we continue to implement immediate changes and develop a comprehensive action plan to strengthen safety and quality and build the confidence of our customers and their passengers, and they have some work to do. >> absolutely. thank you very much. let's move to today's special closely watched session of congress. roberts hur's investigation of president biden's handling of classified documents. he called the president's memory into discussion. we have two reports. we'll start with nc special white house correspondent peter alexander. hey, peter. good morning. >> reporter: robert hur will step into the spotlight today asked why he did not correct mend criminal charges against president biden. he chose to detail his assessments of the president's memory, what democrats have

slammed as gratuitous. this morning nbc news obtained a copy of hur's explanation, saying he simply explained to the attorney general his decision and his reasons for it as he was required to do. this morning after a year of public silence, special counsel robert hur will testify before congress. et hur, a former u.s. attorney appointed by then president trump has faced fierce backlash following his report about president biden's handling of classified material, saying he found evidence the president willfully retained documents but not enough evidence to prove his case to a jury, citing among other reasons that president biden would come across as a sympathetic elderly well-meaning moon with a poor memory. the president doing damage control. >> i'm an old man, and i know what they will do. >> reporter: president biden is

still trying to dispel voter concerns about his ace to nerve a second time. >> i'm not a young guy. that's no secret. i understand how to get things done for the american people. >> reporter: mr. trump seized on the report last month. >> crooked joe got off scot-free. i don't know if you'd call it scot-free. they said he was a mental basket ice. >> reporter: in fact, hur did not say that. still, house republicans are likely to accuse hur of giving president biden a pass and additional observations about joe biden's diminished faculties, and hur's conclusions that no criminal charges were warranted, and they'll look at a distinction between president biden who cooperated with the investigation and mr. trump who prosecutors say repeatedly refused to return classified documents and obstructed the investigation into misconduct. he's now facing 40 criminal charges. overnight, a key witness speaking out on cnn describing moving those classified documents at mar-a-lago.

>> they were the boxes that were in the indictment, the white bankers boxes. that's what i remember loading. >> and did you have any idea at the time that there was potentially u.s. national security secrets in those boxes? >> no clue. i had no clue. >> reporter: a lawyer for mr. trump declined to comment on cnn. now nbc learns more. the president often appeared to be thinking out loud in response to specific questions and other points he recalled in specific deteal during his time as vp. one key thing, despite his intentions that hur brought up his son's beau's death first, the transcript shows it was reported. >> let's turn now to hallry jackson.

he takes on his critics saying there's too much color about the president's mental state. >> yeah. he's trying to defend himself. that is what you will see today based on this opening statement, savannah. he lays it out clearly saying, i need to explain why i made the decision not to charge president biden. he says, yes, everything he wrote was necessary and accurate and fair, that he was trying to analyze the evidence, trying to think of ways that the defense might try to poke holes in the case, if you will, and that is why he included some of the material about the president's age, his mental lapses, his memory lapses, the things he said over the course of this multi-hour interview. keep in mind, savannah, robert hur is not exactly a household name. he's done a white house briefing at the podium years ago during the trump administration. the doj, an official there, confirms this morning he will be testifying as a private citizen, getting intense scrutiny from both democrats and republicans. one former justice official who

knows hur tells me he suspects during questioning he'll probably stay within the contours of the report itself, color inside the lines, and not go beyond too much of the scope of the investigation and that this really is a high-profile moment for him and for president biden. >> republicans see an opportunity here. that's why they called him to testify. what is their approach today and how do republicans plan to counter it? >> hammer on the age issue, hammer on the memory lapses, hammer on any other instances where the president forgot any key details or key moments. the backdrop to that, of course, is this election year where, as you know, more than half voters say they do have concerns about the president's age for office. for democrats, they'll hit on a couple of key moments. number one, the whole point of this report in the first place is there will not be charges brought against biden. expect to see them lay out the clear differences in president biden's case and that of former president trump where legal issues are working their way through court. the white house expects aggressive pushback.

one aid tell mess they see this nothing more than a political exercise. they see this as a case closed. and a biden aid points us to the state of the union last week. they feel like president biden with his energetic speech has made the case he's well prepared to take on the house for another four issues in washington. >> thank you. >> 7:15 a lot more to get to. >> we're following breaking news this morning overnight tied to the israel-hamas war and the effort to get more humanitarian aid into gaza. after a brief delay, a ship carrying 200 tons of food is on its way to the territory richard engel joins us now from the island of cyprus richard, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, craig. after weeks of preparation and repeated delays and israeli

inspections, an aid ship left from this port here in cyprus. bound for gaza spanish owned ship named "open arms" finally set out this morning to cross the eastern mediterranean to bring food to the gaza strip where hunger is spreading. the u.s.-based charity running the mission, the world's central kitchen, hopes this will paver the way for a new maritime aid corridor >> we hope it will be the first of many boetss going through we have been there and understand that we need to have as many places to bring aid to the people of gaza >> reporter: we were given exclusive access to the command center coordinating the mission. >> each stop has to be carefully prepared and executed. it is on miles from cyprus to gaza but, because it is towing a barge loaded with rice, beans, cans of meat, fish, it will travel 3

miles an hour. the journey is expected to take three days. and getting to gaza is only part of the challenge. then there is distribution with no such. with so much desperation, the limited aid trucks have often been over-run. and air drops, which have a limited capacity, have turned deadly. last week medical officials say five people israel is allowing into gaza has been underrun. and air drops, which have a limited capacity, have turned deadly last week medical officials say five people were crushed by falling palates of food. so this time the world's central kitchen is using gazan labor to build a pier to receive the barge. president biden warned israel not to use food as a weapon of hamas and called the planned invasion of the city of rafah, gaza, a red line because more than a million palestinians are sheltering there israel says hamas is hiding among them >> i'm never going to leave israel the defense of israel is still

critical there is no red line where i'm going to cut off their weapons and the iron dome. >> reporter: netanyahu responded in discussions with president biden. >> we cannot leave a whole hamas terrorist army in place. that's a red line. we can't let hamas survive. >> reporter: caught in the middle are more than 100 hostages still held by hamas in gaza and palestinian civilians now trying to celebrate the holy month of ramadan. >> richard engel there for us. thank you. now to the weather tens of millions all across the country getting ready to get 68. that's nearly 30 degrees above average. chicago in the 70s. st. louis 75. cincinnati 68. more beautiful numbers stretching into pittsburgh

still remain >> molly hunter is at the buckingham palace. molly, good morning. >> reporter: guys, good morning. a lot of questions still remaining. we are still talking about this photo two days after it was posted we have gone back to kensington palace to ask them about it. they said they have no plans to release the original photo all they will tell us is the adjustments were, quote, minor >> seemingly trying to dampen down speculation. >> reporter: this morning the headlines here in the uk a picture of chaos, all focused on the pr crisis spiraling into day two as kensington palace stands firm on not releasing the original photograph. but there is another new photo of the princess of wales snapped by a uk photo agency her face barely visible in the car with husband prince william leaving windsor yesterday hours after kate issued an apology over that now famous

photophot photo explaining her experimental editing and forcing news agencies to kill the photo because it had been altered. >> you can count on your hand. there was so much adverse reaction in the media. but she also wants to try to take the heat off of some of her advice. >> reporter: prince william is keeping on and carrying on at least publicly on monday and not discussing the pr situation back at home. in the last 36 hours, photo editors the world over have been dissecting every pixel of this photograph, finding a dozen inconsistencies, including a portion of charlotte's red sleeve appears to be missing the edge of charlotte's hair appears to blur unnaturally. the corner of her skirt appears disrupted. and look here, the edges of the tiles appear repeated. the last official outing for the

42-year-old princess christmas oddly straight here kate's zipper and hair appear miss aligned. louis's sweater pattern appears disrupted. and look here. the edges of the tile appear repeated the last official outing for the 42-year-old princess christmas day, just a few weeks before her planned abdominal surgery. a few weeks later, kate returned home to recuperate, but the palace never explained why she needed surgery, only claiming she would return to public duties after easter. and, yet, the absence of details has fueled more questions than the palace ever expected. >> so many questions, you guys i know we, as in the royal we, want more information from kensington palace. take a look at this new poll taken in the uk that finds 20% say kensington palace offered too little information and 49% say it is about right. guys, i think it's safe to say we are in the 49%. i'll send it back to you >> maybe the public isn't as interested as the media is >> thank you. >> but, molly, let's keep talking about it >> we have a lot to unpack

joining us from buckingham palace, daisy mccanter so we saw kate in the car with her husband, which tells us that she's well enough to be riding around what else did that image tell you? >> reporter: i think that was yet another attempt by kensington palace, by buckingham palace, to try to reassure the public kate is fine, kate is up and out of bed we can't believe what they are telling us but it hasn't stopped the darker edges from continuing to ask question after question. if we can't trust this photograph, if they have been photoshoping this, what else can we trust i'm afraid there are still a lot of questions that haven't been answered. >> it's so weird, daisy. i don't know if it's a paparazzi shot or palace shot. either way, you barely see her she's looking away if this is their idea of damage control, it is not doing it.

and then you just wonder, why wouldn't they release the original photo then. why not just tamp down the speculation and end this nonsense >> reporter: i personally completely agree with you. i think to you and to me that seems really obvious, but i think to them behind me, they feel like they want to be in charge of the narrative, and if people like us in the media keep demanding and demanding and they say, oh, yes, rolling over and giving us what we want, they feel that might be a slippery slope and they might not get back into control. that doesn't stop people from saying, maybe this wasn't taken last week. maybe this was taken last november maybe this was a pre-operation paragraph and maybe kate is more poorly than they're letting on now, of course, that's not necessarily what most people believe, but you can understand why some believe it. >> i mean, daisy, you know, people edit photos all the time. what if she is just a bad photo editor i don't understand how this even happened is there no sort of system in

place before photos go out that someone says, you know what, this is a bad photoshop job, maybe we should send it back help us explain the process. >> reporter: i think there are a number of things that have happened here. kate is a very, very keen amateur photographer she has taken hundreds of photographs of her own family and she's put them out there and there haven't been many complaints in the past there have been a few people saying that's a bit amateur and so on, but there haven't been, you know, this hedge deluge of criticism, but, of course, that's all changed since the suspicion about where has kate been for the last couple of months everything she does and every photo she puts out is under much more intense scrutiny than before. >> all right, daisy. i guess we're going to do this story again tomorrow. >> i guess so. it just seems like they're making a bad situation worse, and i know they want to control the narrative, but that ship has

back at 7:42. new developments in a high-profile case that's been in the media for decades. >> scott peterson convicted for killing his wife and unborn son is trying to get flood trial. he's going to do it with the los angeles innocence project. >> liz, good morning. >> reporter: hey, guys. good morning. yes, scots peterson is expected to appear virtually via zoom, but his attorneys with the innocence project will be here in court for the very first time. despite what investigators say is overwhelming evidence that he is guilty, including a jury that convicted him, scott peterson's new attorneys say there is evidence that supports his long-standing claim of innocence. this morning, convicted killer scott peterson set to appear virtually in court as he makes yet another attempt to get his

case retried. the status hearing comes just weeks after the los angeles innocence project announced they were now representing the now 51-year-old. peterson is serving a life sentence without parole for the 2002 murders of his wife and child. at the time modesto police said he dumped them into the san francisco bay where months later their bodies washed up. but now there is a different theory arguing laci may have been killed by burglars who broke into the home across the street from the peterson. he has spent years looking into questions he also has about the case. speaking out to "dateline." >> when did you think they made a mistake in the case? >> you know, it wasn't really scott. it was looking into, you know, all the tips. it all ultimately came down to the burglary across the street. >> reporter: another part of the

theory, a burned out orange van containing a bloody mattress found in modesto the morning after laci disappeared. the attorneys want to do a sampling to determine if there's any of laci's dna. to this day, former modesto fire investigator who responded to that van fire questions why that didn't happen during the trial. >> i figured when the court started and the trial all started up that someone would reach out to me. >> reporter: a former lead gtser in the original case, john buehler, tells us he never even knew about it. >> you're saying when the innocence project came out that was the first you had ever learned about this orange van? >> yeah. i had never learned about it beforehand. i'm confused it never came to light. >> reporter: still he stands by the conviction. >> i'm completely confident we got the right guy. testing, let's see where it leads. >> reporter: remember, just some of the circumstantial evidence against scott peterson includes

lying about a mistress, going fishing alone on christmas eve the day laci disappeared, and what investigators say was his odd baev after she disappeared including dyeing his hair and carrying thousands of dollars in cash. scott peterson's family is expected to be in court to support him. as for laci's family, they have said nothing since the l.a. innocence project took on this case. >> thanks. we're joined by danny cevallos. this is a very difficult road, but the l.a. innocence project has a lot of proficiency in these kinds of cases. what is today about? >> today is not a hearing where scott peterson could walk free or even get a new trial. the only thing his motion seeks is testing of old dna evidence, dna evidence, that, in fact, was tested already back in 2019. that makes it an even higher

burden for scott peterson. he has to show, there was this dna evidence and it was tested, but the way it was tested was not good enough. we have means of doing it now that is better and it might lead to the identity of another bad guy who did this instead of me.e that's quite a number of obstacles peterson has today is just a status hearing to see how this goes forward procedurally. >> there was a burglary nearby at the same time they said happened on one date and later found out it happened on another date so how are these circumstances playing in scott peterson's favor? >> the defense's theory has bee burglary across the street around the same time. for a long time there was a burglary recoalmost across the street around the same time, and even that is contested because as the state would say, if that burglary happened two days after laci peterson disappeared and everyone was looking for them, it is impossible that it had anything to do with their disappearance. timing is key here but there are at least two burglars that were involved with

that and you have a violent crime, which is a home invasion happening across the street. it is certainly a viable theory that they might have -- maybe laci came upon the burglary and they took her to quiet her and bad things happened to her, but in terms of newly discovered evidence, that's not newly discovered this has been known, as you mentioned, for decades, so it wouldn't necessarily meet that standard of evidence because it really isn't new. >> really quickly getting to the distinction between the l.a. innocence prong and the innocence project that we have all come to know in this country. >> these are all innocence groups in the country. they all work together the l.a. innocence project is affiliated with an academic institution. as somebody that does this work myself, i can guarantee they're getting letters by the crate load a day from prisoners. so they can pick and choose their favorite cases that have a real chance. so the mere fact they have taken this up certainly makes it interesting. >> thank you, danny.

>> thank you. 7:48 let's head over to dylan and get a check of the weather. >> hey, guys, we have a couple of stormy days in the future i just want to point out where these are. you can see through kansas city tomorrow, we can see hail over 2 inches or more in diameter and damaging wind gusts. that area spreads north and dallas including dallas and little rock in peoria and des moines one inch or more in diameter then that rain moves east ward by friday. and we woke up to some light rain, still seeing some on radar. san jose right now 53 degrees, a live look in oakland, check out dublin, and of course san francisco. now stormranger is showing scattered activity through parts of san francisco, stretching through the cruz mountains, livermore, modesto. the storm is expected to clear out midafternoon, leaving behind

and creativity anyone that is struggling with sleep at night should not nap. >> well, i think everyone wants to know about the timing for a nap because i feel like whenever i do try, and i don't do it often, i feel horrible when i wake up. i feel like i'm lost and i don't feel sharp. >> that might just be a mistimed nap. the recommendations are quite specific it is 20 minutes or less or a little longer, about a 90-minute nap. say in the afternoon if you have a saturday afternoon and some extra time and you had a long week cut short on your sleep, you might indulge in the 90-minute nap. but the 20 minutes or less is a great way to go if you are sleepy. >> does napping make up for lost sleep? we have crazy hours. we get up too early and we probably don't get enough sleep. can a nap -- is there a sleep deficit you can put money in the bank for >> in a perfect world, we would be hitting our personal sleep need night in and night out, but life happens so napping can be a great resource when you are really

struggling or not getting quite enough sleep. >> a lot of people work normal jobs 9:00 to 5:00. they have kids they're exhausted. they want to nap, but there is not the opportunity. you mentioned a couple minutes. what does that mean and how do you mean that? >> what's amazing is moments, even seconds in a stage 1 sleep that we enter when we enter a nap is actually extremely beneficial for productivity and creativity after napping one of the reasons people struggle is they say, oh, no, i don't have enough time for a good nap but what the research shows is even a few seconds, closing your eyes, hopefully in a safe place. ideally horizontal or at least leaning back so you can be safe in case you lose muscle tone. >> hoda meditates. that also does a lot for your brain, doesn't it? brain health, our heart health. >> it does there's so much amazing research on meditation. not only for our mental health,

all right. welcome back, guys this morning on your health, we are putting menopause in the spotlight. >> it is something all women face yet, the topic is understudied. now a leading researcher found a connection between menopause and the brain. >> good morning,

yet, the topic is understudied certainly compared to other women's health issues, but now a leading researcher found a connection between menopause and the brain. >> maria shriver joins us. >> good morning, maria. >> good morning to you, visions in purple. well, dr. lisa has been studying women's brains for most of her career but it wasn't until recent years until she discovered the starring role it plays in menopause. now she's prepared to arm women. she wrote a book to better navigate this transformative time in their lives and come out the other side stronger than ever menopause is a rite of passage for all women of a certain age and with it comes physical and emotional changes. many people are familiar with the changes, but some of the changes will catch them off guard. >> hot flashes and night sweats, insomnia, anxiety, depressive symptoms, brain fog. >> reporter: but according to

dr. lisa and her innovative research, it turns out that these uncomfortable and disruptive symptoms don't come from changes in the ovaries. they come from changes in the brain. >> this is revolutionary, right? the idea that this is generated by the brain it's not that it's new in terms of science, but it is new in terms of explaining to women, this is what's going on. >> women will go through menopause, and that is the end of the women's reproductive life and that's really only half of what menopause is about. it does impact your brain and your brain health. this component to menopause has been completely overlooked. >> the 2017 study was the first ever published about the effects of menopause on the brain. with her sights set on the subject, she says her discoveries couldgame-changing for women. >> you look at the brain and the brain changes to take place as a woman goes from having a menstrual cycle to not having a menstrual cycle

the reduction in brain energy levels, reductions in gray matter volume in brain regions the blood flow to the brain is impacted. >> you can actually tell a women your brain is changes and we can prove it to you. >> yes and that was wonderful for us because it is about validating what women have been saying for hundreds of years. >> reporter: until now, women have been given little information on this transitional period, what she calls going from reproductive to productive. she believes for some women, their brains could actually be better before menopause than before. >> what we find during puberty and pregnancy is that the brain actually shrinks, and the shrinkage means that some neurons are lost perhaps that's also part of what

we're seeing in menopause. all these neurons that are important for reproduction, you don't need them anymore. >> so you have a theory that menopause actually might be good for the brain and that it's a chance to get leaner and meaner or more efficient. >> this is something we're testing right now. the menopause brain is the brain in transition. and that comes with some vulnerabilities, but also with resilience and the resilience aspect has really been overlooked in western medicine. >> what do you want people to take away from the menopause brain? >> women have been taught to really fear their hormones and doubt their brains, and that is unacceptable the more women talk about menopause openly, the sooner we will be able to come up with information we really need to make sure all of us can embrace this life event without fear, but armed with knowledge and confidence >> i think that's the main thing, armed with knowledge and confidence

this book is called "the menopause brain," but these symptoms start impairing menopause. women will experience depression, irritability, lack of sleep all these things they often go to the doctor and are given an ssri because they're told they're depressed. this is a normal part of the transition. >> the part about it being brain-centered changes treatment? >> yes, because it can change when you start, if you choose to start hrt. and there is a window that most doctors believe is a good time to start and then it is a neuro protector of the brain this is a whole evolving area of science right now that is getting a lot of attention and much needed. >> a big spotlight also is on women's health. >> yes. >> you were at the state of the union where president biden announced $12 billion so that women can be tested for things that happen to women this was a huge step. >> this is a transformative kind

of guam-changing moment in women's health because women have not been studied. medication women take has not been studied on women. the estrogen studies have all been done on men this is a health equity issue. this will bring women's research up to speed. he's going to sign some executive orders, some things he can get done but this will also need congressional approval but women deserve more tests, more research so that they can make decisions in their health journey based on facts >> and studying women's issues but also using women in studies of drugs that are for men and women. >> and studying women particularly at mid-life and beyond, which is when women get sick, when many of the chronic diseases begin >> it is hard to believe that many of these drugs are only tested on men. >> estrogen? >> this is a health equity issue that will be righted. >> thank you, maria. >> all right

do you see the -- how it's like dancing? the oil's really moving? >> imagine playing password with elizabeth. she said oil texas! >> we're going to let this go. while we're letting it go, get it super nice, crisp and then we will flip it. >> i finish it in the oven always undercook it and i do check the temp. >> 5 degrees below to let it rise. >> absolutely, like a protein. >> now, this we need to focus. this is the best salad dressing. my daddy makes this salad every single night >> that's why it's called daddy's salad. >> it's daddy's salad. this is one of the keys. the key is to take your garlic >> why is that better than just chopping it? >> and you really want to macerate it in the bowl, use the back of the fork >> why is that better than just chopping it? >> because all that flavor will get through. it gets to the bottom of the bowl.

>> it releases the oil. >> it really permeates we have dry mustard, garlic, salt, lemon, and olive oil you have to make sure every single one of those ingredients is shining look at that lemon juice that's a lot of lemon. yeah, he calls it a lemonagrette, not a vinaigrette. we have oil and water. and your whisk will act like the marriage counselor it's going to keep these two separates together it is. it's the marriage koups lore of the vinaigrette. it's slo keep it going. are you dying? it is super easy. >> how do you keep this from separating you've got to shake it constantly >> correct well, no you will mix, mix, mix we've got it nice. always listen, i used to be embarrassed that i love iceberg lettuce because everybody is all fancy you need some kale
