evidence this morning sugg region, keir, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning to you. iran this morning announcing five days of mourning and that the funeral of its president will be held tomorrow, a leader who crushed dissent and represented the hard liners in iran dying in what all the evidence this morning suggests was an accident. these are the images rocking the middle east this morning, the charred remains of a helicopter, its tail partially intact, news that rescuers who took hours to reach the remote site found only wreckage, and the bodies of the dead. iran's hard-line president and its foreign minister brought down by bad weather, an official said, the thick fog into mountainous terrain evident from the pictures of the urgent rescue efforts. in the u.s. the senate majority leader racing to signal an assessment that this was not part of a plot against iran's leaders. >> i've just spoken to the intelligence authorities. like . >> reporter: it's unfortunate news, this iranian says in tehran, it's a loss. we're at a loss anyway. this morning, countries close to iran sending sympathy, including china, russia, and others in the

iranian foreign minister describing u.s. sanctions against iranian aviation is one of the main culprits. savannah? >> keir, thank you. turning to nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel. richard, let's start right there where keir left this. how is this being received within iran? >> reporter: iranians are celebrating in private. many iranians hated raisi, they hate the regime, but it is a regime that is effective at maintaining control, and maintaining dominance as keir just mentioned, there had been street demonstrations with many regime had crushedthose demonstrations, crushed those protests and i think it will be very hard for demonstrators to go out now and take to the women on the streets taking off their veil, insulting the regime and the clerical rule, but the regime had crushed those demonstrations, crushed those protests, and i think it will be very hard for demonstrators to go out now and take to the streets, especially when the regime's guards are up, and they are most aware and cautious about any kind of civil disturbance.

>> as you well know raisi was president but the real power in iran lies with the ayatollah. raisi was actually seen as the likely successor to the ayatollah who was getting on in years. that sets up a potential crisis within iran. how do you see that playing out? >> reporter: 100%. i think they'll be able to find a new president fairly quickly. but in iran, the president just carries out the orders of the supreme leader, and what's significant about raisi is that he was 63 years old. the supreme leader who runs the country, the ayatollah, is 85, and not well. raisi was widely seen as a person who was going to take over for him in a year or two, so he could potentially have been in power for the next two decades or so. now, a real leadership crisis, who will it be? it's possible that someone could emerge from the revolutionary guard, someone from the intelligence services, but not

necessarily someone who's going to emerge from this electoral process that's taking place next 50 days. and policy, by the way, is not likely to change. it is a very unlikely that we're going to see an anti-revolutionary person come up. i think you're going to get another hardliner, maybe from the guard or the intelligence services, step in and we're going to see an internal fight. but now you have a succession crisis because he was the one who was going to lead this country to the next 20 years from the top. >> richard engel, thank you very much. >> all right, let's move to another major story, wild weather across the country. new storms and tornadoes causin moment. but first, nbc's priscilla thompson is in houston for us. priscilla, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, hoda, good morning, this is the scene up and down this block, trees that have been removed from homes, blue tarps damage, while millions brace for cleanup here continues.

>> reporter: former president trump also out and on attack over the weekend, criticizing president biden as he accepted the nra's endorsement in dallas. >> they have a guy like crooked joe biden as president. if that were a republican he would have been given the electric chair. >> reporter: the former president appearing to allude to his 2020 election fraud lie, suggesting a win this fall would be like a third term. >> i don't know, are we going to be considered three term or two term, >> reporter: one of his potential vice presidential picks, senator marco rubio who voted to certify the election, . >> reporter: although mr. trump suggested he won't pick a running mate until july, a number of those potential contenders have joined him in new york during his trial, more republican loyalists are likely to appear in the courtroom again today, savannah. >> all right, hallie, thank you, an now refusing to commit to accept and that brings us to the former

president's criminal hush money trial, back in court today as lawyers continue their cross-examination of key witness michael cohen, that case could come to a close as early as this week. laura jarrett is nbc's legal correspondent. michael cohen is still under cross-examination. how much longer do you expect that to be and then of course the prosecution has a chance to redirect? >> yes, so we've heard a lot about the alleged conspiracy in this case, the conspiracy to try to bury bad stories ahead of the 2016 election, the jury's heard plenty of that. they have not heard about the falsification of business records. that's what the former president has been accused, to try to doctor up his records and that's what i think we're going to hear more about on cross-examination. there was this perry mason moment last week in court where cohen was confronted with text messages that made it seem like he had actually made up one of his conversations with the former president, the prosecutors are going to get their shot today to clean that up and explain it, to try to help him rehabilitate himself on that point.

that's something to watch for today. >> they need -- the prosecutors need michael cohen because michael cohen is the lone witness who ties donald trump to the business records allegation which is the case, the charge in the case? >> yes, there's nobody else to do it. the only other person who's been in these alleged conversations was the old cfo of the trump organization. that person is on ritegers island. no one is bringing him. they need michael cohen to tie a bow on everything. >> prosecutors argue there's other substantial evidence that indicates knowledge. let's see, we've got the cross-examination, the defense has indicated it may not put on any evidence at all and just say, look, the state hasn't mad the former president will testify or not. as of last week, his attorney once willing to commit one way or another. at a person the rubber is going to meet the road on that and he's going to have to decide whether he'll do it next couple days. if he doesn't, this will move quickly to closing arguments this week. >> so people know it is the defendant's choice whether or not to testify. >>

two months after the collapse of baltimore's key bridge, the massive cargo ship that slammed into it and became trapped by debris is finally being moved. >> as that process plays out this morning, the ship's crew is still on board and has been the whole time. tom costello right there. tom, good morning. bring us up-to-date. >> reporter: good morning. so the ship has, in fact, moved. it is no longer stuck underneath the key bridge here at the river. it started moving at high tide just before 7:00 a.m. this is a massive operation. five tugboats are involved in pulling and moving the ship out of its position where it's been since the end of march here. ba march. six people who were working on the bridge at the time were killed. their bodies eventually removed from the water. this has been a big operation that started last week when they had to blow up pieces of that bridge that were still laying on top of the dolly ship, then get all that metal off.

then they had to pop the ball list out of the dolly, cut the anchor lines so cut the anchor lines and the regular lines so this morning they could move it. it's only going two and a half miles at a slow pace into the marine terminal. that will allow critical traffic into and out of the port of baltimore, crucial for the east coast economy, as you know. over the weekend, the governor of maryland wes morrison says he believes they are on track to open up the channel by the end of this month. this has been a massive operation underway right now. >> tom, thank you for the update. appreciate it. this morning, we're hearing from sean diddy combs since disturbing video surfaced showing him violently assaulting his girlfriend back in 2016. chloe melas is here with more. good morning. >> good morning. nearly 48 hours after that disturbing video was made public, combs made his first comments in an instagram video yesterday. in it he says he's not asking

for forgiveness and that he's disgusted with himself. now, we want to wash warn you, we're going to play part of that surveillance footage, and it is disturbing. >> my behavior is inexcusable. >> the morning sean “diddy” combs is breaking his silence. >> i take full responsibility for my actions in that video. >> combs stepping out in miami the same day he posted the apology on instagram. the incident took place at a los angeles hotel in 2016. the surveillance footage obtained by cnn shows ventura walking down a hallway with combs chasing after her. ground before kicking and dragging her as she lay limp. the assault appears to he then proceeds to grab ventura, throwing her to the ground before kicking and dragging her as she lay limp. the assault appears to describe an incident in a lawsuit that alleged combs became extremely intoxicated and punched her in the face, giving her a black eye.

the lawsuit went on to say that combs through glass vases at ventura in the hallway, which this newly released video also appears to show. at the time of the lawsuit, an attorney for combs denied ventura's allegations, calling them outrageous and offensive. they reached a settlement within 24 hours. but in combs' video sunday he admits the abuse and claims he went to therapy. and rehab after this assault. >> i went out and sought help. had to ask god for his mercy and grace. i'm so sorry. >> reporter: in a statement ventura's attorney said combs' apology is more about himself than the many people he has hurt, that he was only compelled to apologize once his repeated denials for proven false. shows his pathetic desperation. despite the graphic video, the los angeles district attorney says they cannot charge combs with a crime in connection to this specific incident because california statute of limitations has passed. but combs is facing multiple civil lawsuits, with allegations including abuse and sexual assault, which combs has denied.

he is also under federal investigation. his california and florida properties were raided in march, but he has not been charged with any crime. representatives for sean combs did not respond to our request for comment. in november, that lawsuit that cassie had filed, she alleges sean “diddy” combs paid the hotel $50,000 for the footage you just saw. in a statement ihg hotels and resorts says this hotel is no longer under ihg management, and we do not have access to prior incidents or footage, adding they did not receive money for him? >> absolutely. i was talking to danny cevalles on sunday. this could be used by the attorneys to show there is a behavior, a pattern of this footage. into a faster settlement or get

more money in those settlements. there is also that federal investigation. again, he has not been charged with any crimes. but his homes were raided on the east coast and the west coast. unclear if an indictment is coming. unclear if anything is found. but if there are potential rico charges or anything like that, this video could be very helpful to authorities. but this video alone, you are not going to see him get arrested on this specific incident in 2016 because every state has different statute of limitations, and the state of california, that statute has already passed. >> it will be hotly litigated, whether or not this video could come in, into any other case. potentially it could. but the defense would fight tooth and nail. >> there has to be a lot. >> they would have to make a real connection, for sure. but it is interesting. thank you very much. thank you. still ahead, a historic trip six decades in the making for a -- the first black man to ever train as an astronaut. what he's saying about finally reaching space at 90 years

of the hit nickelodeon show "drake and josh" is making new music. >> i came here today to tell my story. >> reporter: and still processing the reaction to "quiet onset: the dark side of kids tv". >> why did you decide to do that docuseries? >> things were spiraling out of control. i thought this could help in the healing process and also help others who have gone through the same situations or similar situations. >> reporter: in quiet on set, bell opens up publicly for the first time about being repeatedly sexually assaulted as a teenager by a dialogue coach, brian peck, who worked with bell at nickelodeon in the early 2000s. >> i see emotions coming up in you. >> it's hard because if i try to go and talk to that little boy with all of that going through my head and my mind, what am i going to tell him? >> reporter: terrified and confused, he says he kept it a

secret for a long time. eventually confiding in his mom. peck was arrested and pleaded no contest to two charges of child sexual abuse and was sentenced to 16 months in prison. he had to register as a sex offender. nickelodeon in response saying we have adapted numerous safe guards over the years to protect child actors, including hiring studio welfare workers, requiring parents and guardians to be with their child on set, and doing criminal background checks on employees. >> reporter: do you think that's enough? >> well, it is very difficult to say because brian would have passed a background check. >> reporter: in the years after his abuse, bell says he battled substance abuse. >> you are so frightened of facing this stuff that you try to cloud it with as much as you can. >> reporter: three years ago, bell himself pled guilty to attempted child endangerment and disseminating matter harmful to

juveniles after he says he sent inappropriate messages to a 15-year-old female fan. he said he didn't know she was underage. he was sentenced to two years probation. >> there was some messages that shouldn't have been exchanged. >> reporter: and that's why you pled guilty? >> and that's why i pled guilty. but once the age was revealed, that's when i stopped communication. >> reporter: after going to rehab last year, bell says he's sober today. he moved to mexico city where his music career is booming. ♪ >> reporter: this fall, he will release his sixth studio album, where he writes about the darkness of his past and turning it into light. >> what i have learned is that . that's something i lived with for a long time, thinking i was alone in this. and now i get to see all of that in a clear picture, and i get to go back and talk to that little boy. >> reporter: what do you say? what do you say to that little

you are not alone. >> now i'm able to go back to him and hold him and tell him, you know, it's gonna be okay. you are gonna find strength. this is something that happened to me. this isn't me. >> reporter: bell and his ex-wife have a three-year-old son. was part of your motivation speaking out because of your son? >> yeah. and as he grows, my hope is that he will be able to say, yeah, my dad did go through that. and the man that i know today is a hero to me. >> we did reach out to the 2003 attorney for bell's abuser brian

peck but did not hear back. the docuseries also alleging that dan snyder was verbally abusive and created inappropriate content. i asked bell if he's still friendly with snyder and if they have been in touch. he says they have. bell says, he never witnessed any of the behavior described by others in the docuseries and he and denies many of the allegations against him. he is suing the makers of the docu series. >> it is incredibly courageous for him to come and tell the story. >> and to talk to us. >> absolutely. >> obviously he has a flourishing music career. what about acting? he is soured on hollywood? >> no, he said he would be acting again. he also is interested in directing and producing. you know, he's in a new chapter. as you say he's very popular in latin america. he is also touring in california in june with his music and really hoping for success with that album. >> we wish him the best.

we are back now with an incredible journalist. in her long career tina brown has served as editor-in-chief of "vanity fair," "the new yorker" and the digital news site "the daily beast." she's the author of best-selling books on the royals, including the diana chronicles. the palace papers. and for her services to journalism, she was awarded the honor of commander of the order of the british empire by queen elizabeth in 2000. tina is joining us to talk about her upcoming project. this is a very interesting one. curating the aspen ideas festival where brilliant minds from all around the world discuss the ideas that will shape tomorrow. you have done so many things. this is something you have not yet done before.

>> it is so exciting because it is very much like editing. i have taken the whole approach. to the aspen ideas festival. >> that's a good way to do it. >> as if i was editing "vanity fair" and put it together with mix of substance and sizzle and, you know, intellectual conversation and, you know, provocative ideas. so we have this incredible mix of leaders from tech, leaders from politics. leaders from culture. we have the ceo of microsoft. we have sam altman, the founder of openai. we have john legend. we have a great nigerian novelist, who is so brilliant. >> wow. gretchen whitmer. it does sound like "vanity fair," by the way. so they all come together. but for people that don't know and they go, i have heard about this aspen ideas fest, what is the purpose of it and what do you hope people go to once it's

over? >> exactly. this is the 20th year of the aspen ideas festival. it was founded by walter isaacson who went to become the great biographer of steve jobs, et cetera. and it's developed this payload for people that are thoughtful, people who are interested in learning and expanding their minds and hearing from the other side. who want to shed, for instance, all the toxic partisan mess in today's world and hear from clear thinkers. what it is is you bring together these people in aspen meadows, this incredible backdrop of the rocky mountains where you can go for a hike or have tea in the zen den, or you can hear from john kerry about climate change. that is what's so beautiful about it is you have a mix of intellectual content with the physical joy of being in such a beautiful place and meeting all these people who are all mixed together who have come to see and hear and listen and really be educated. because lifting your minds and

being educated, we don't have a chance to do it. >> nbc news group is the exclusive media partner of this festival, just to underscore. i like the slogan, bright minds for dark times. because i do think with what you are describing, everything that's going on, it's super easy to fall into despair. sometimes you need to hear a speaker that tells you, hold on a second. i see hope at the other end of this. >> that's right, you know, we're very glad by the way to have so many great nbc moderators, lea there is a lack of them. he's talking to the man who led the navy seals about how can we make leadership today, you know, more elevating to our culture and our debate.

so the whole idea, really, is to leave with not just your mind expanded but also, you know, enriched, essentially, because we don't have enough -- i have called a lot of the people i've asked, explainers of now because we're all in such a turmoil. we don't know what's going we don't know what's going on. to have someone like satia in a della of microsoft for 40 minutes, instead of just a few minutes, actually talking about what should we fear from ai? should we be scared about what's happening? what's going to happen to jobs in this new world? >> can people watch it? >> they can. they can go to the aspen ideas fest online. go watch it. >> super quick, prince harry, since you're a royal watcher, prince harry went home. there was some issues with him and his dad. do you ever see any reconciliation coming with the royal family? >> i think it's very difficult. i think with each fresh step the sussexs take it seems to nail

home something to be more annoyed about. their not happy with the tour nigeria. it looked like a royal tour. but the foreign office hadn't been involved. the whole question of when the royals travel is very much discussed about, is this what we want for the country right now. this is validating our foreign policy. not just sort of showing up at a place and being fated, which they were. they did it very well, i have to say. they were magnificent in nigeria, which may be the issue. >> the royals may see it as going rogue. >> going rogue. >> we're excited for this. jenna bush hager will be there. she has a panel or two, i thinke book with a deep dive into parenting and the different ways you can parent, which i think will be a really popular panel. >> she will be great on that and everything. thanks again for the festival. you can buy tickets. head to aspenideas.org. coming u >> she will also

expert tips on how to choose and raise the right pet for your family, including adopting little ones like these. but, first, this is "today" on

marking national rescue dog day with adorable and adoptable pups here in new york. >> it is the perfect occasion to celebrate and support rescue dogs and their adopters. if you are looking to complete your family with a furry new friend, we have dog trainer andrea arden to help us make a smooth transition. all these dogs are so cute. if you are thinking about adopting a dog and you would like to do a shelter dog, what is your best advice? >> i think my best advice is don't choose a dog based on the way they look. it's like any relationship. >> that's good. >> in any relationship, you want to appreciate the way they look, but it is really about their personality. choose a dog with the right energy level for your family and with the general personality that's suitable for your family

and your needs. >> once you've chosen your dog then it's all about getting your dog into a routine. they don't like chaos, just like we don't. >> they don't. hallie is having a moment because this is a new environment. there is a lot going on she's not used to. >> she's been fine all morning. >> literally until now. routine is really important for dogs, especially dogs just been brought home that are adopted. there is a period of time they need to be allowed to decompress. they're getting used to a whole new world. all new people and environment. give them time to chill out before you invite people over to meet them and change more than you have to. >> also, people are so ready to train a dog, but what techniques, especially when you have a rescue dog, do you need training? what do we mean? we mean to do right by your dog by saying, listen, they don't speak my language. i will be gentle with them and reward them and use the things they want in life to play the training game so they are

enthusiastic about learning. >> what about to keep in mind? things aren't going as great as you would expect? how do you adjust to that and help remedy that? >> i think one of the things that people need to consider is that, you know, dogs aren't cookie cutter. they have unique personalities, just like we do. no matter what type of dog you get. you might get a dog like frisky maybe a cattle dog mix, and think, oh, my dog is going to act like a cattle dog. they might. but they're unique and individual. be prepared for them to exhibit behaviors that maybe are not exactly what you hoped for. you know what, if that's the case, talk to your vet rarn, hire a dog trainer, really enlist help as soon as possible. >> if you hire a dog trainer, it's funny. we're the ones that need to be trained. i feel like we're like, my dog's not behaving right. maybe we're not training properly. >> yes. i have to say as i move into my 30th year of being a dog trainer, i wish i could change my title to people trainer.

it is not so much about the dogs. they're easy. >> it's us. >> what if you want to adopt from a shelter but you don't know what to expect. you are saying find a dog that fits your personality. but how do you know that? when you have a shelter dog. >> i'll just tell you, i think, and i've been doing it for a long time, i think one of the best ways to get to know a dog is to foster a dog. rescues all across america right now are seeing a marked decrease in adoptions, so they really are looking for people to assist them. if you are not ready to adopt, maybe you are ready to foster. and who knows, maybe you'll be a foster fail and you'll get so attached to the dog that it will end up staying in your family. that's what we're all hoping for. >> what do you need to look for when you prioritize your dog's health? to consider is that you need to make sure that you are seeing your veterinarian at least once a year for that annual checkup. and you want to make sure you're focussing on parasite preventives, especially as we move into the summer months.

i have to say they're all pretty chill. these are dogs that have gone through a lot. when dogs are put into the system, it can be very stressful for them. the fact these dogs are handling this situation so well i think is a >> and they're all adoptable. >> they're all adoptable. i will tell you something about frisky. every time frisky is allowed to get close to one of the other dogs, especially the smaller dogs, you see that adorable little nub tail go crazy. if anybody has a small dog at home and they're interested in adopting an adult dog, frisky might be the perfect dog. >> i love that. friendly, too. thank you. if you want to adopt one of these rescue dogs, check out the other dogs available through the true north rescue mission. go to our website. today.com. in the third hour, we have hollywood and music icon paul reiser and michael mcdonald with us live. and beyoncé's mom, tina knowles.
