did not get them down. nina tweeted after the prom it was awesome. >> he didn't care. he probably enjoyed it. >> she is beautiful. thanks for watching this morning. good morning everyone. good morning. i'm poppy harlow. glad you are with us this morning. >> we are starting in oklahoma where the recovery is still in the really early stages. there will be three more funerals. >> two of them are for 9-year-old children. they are classmates. rene marsh is in moore, oklahoma. we are getting more and more details about what happened to the school. what are you hearing?

>> good morning. yesterday we heard from both teachers as well as the principal of hard hit plaza towers elementary school. they described the moments leading up to that tornado. the principal saying she got on the intercom and essentially warned everyone it is here. she said the minutes before the tornado approached it was completely quiet. and then as it got closer it got louder. we want to let you also know as you know that elementary school did not have any safe shelters. listen to the principal about everything that went on inside of that school. >> i want everybody to know that plaza towers did what they could do. the teachers covered themselves in debris while they were covering their babies. and i believe that is why so many of us survived that day is because the teachers were able

to act quickly, stay calm and take literally the weight of a wall on to their bodies to save those that were under them. >> and funerals continue today. two more nine year olds will be laid to rest. they were students there at plaza towers elementary school. of course, after all of this happened there was the discussion about safe shelters. plaza towers elementary school did not have one. i spoke with two state representatives yesterday and they say they have formed a bipartisan nonprofit to raise money so that they can retrofit schools here in oklahoma with those safe shelters so that if in the event a tornado hits again students have some place safe to go. so far they have raised some $500,000 and they say that has been designated to the schools here in moore. >> the challenge is always the

money. hopefully they get to their goal there. there is an important there today that some see as a step forward in the recovery of the area. tell our viewers about that. >> that's right. from the very beginning right after this tornado hit school officials said they vowed that they would go on with graduation ceremonies. that is exactly what is going top haen today. we are going to see three high school graduation ceremonies happening throughout the day. perhaps this is just proof of how determined the folks here in oklahoma are to move forward, get their lives back and not allow this destruction to stop them. so we'll see that. we are talking about some 2,000 gh school seniors getting their diplomas today. a little bright spot here in moore, oklahoma. >> they certainly need it. thank you so much. >> that is great news. we now know that the justice department's decision to seek a warrant to search a fox news

reporter's private e-mail went all the way to the top. a justice official tells cnn that attorney general eric holder vetted the application himself and then the application was approved by a federal magistrate. could signal a new more aggressive posture. let's bring in joe johns. >> a justice department official is defending the way doj handled the controversial decision to seek a search warrant involving a correspondent for fox news. the official confirmed that attorney general eric holder himself participated in the process. fox news was almost poking fun at how much attention its reporter james rosen got from the justice department for a story that said north korea was going to test more weapons. >> rosen, when are you going to

jail? >> i am touched by your sentiment. that is about all i would say. >> reporter: what launched the controversy was a leak investigation and a search warrant seeking information about rosen's personal e-mail. it used words such as aiderer or abettor and co-conspirator. a justice department official confirmed that a search warrant was necessary and involved vetting a decision at the highest levels including discussions with the attorney general. the statement said it followed all laws and a federal magistrate judge made a finding that kraubl cause existed. it is a new worry. >> it kind of changes the nature of what we have been understanding about this situation. first it looked like something that maybe one agent did but when it comes the approval of

the attorney general it suggests it is more of the justice department's policy. >> reporter: at the last news conference when the issue was about subpoenas to the associated press i asked the attorney general about the policy. >> given the fact that this news organization was not given the opportunity to quash this in court it leaves us in the position to wonder whether the administration has decided policy-wise that it is going to go after us. >> i can talk about policy. that is certainly not the policy of this administration. >> reporter: in his national security speech on thursday the president expressed concerns about the chilling affect at putting reporters at legal risk of doing their job. he said he would meet with media organizations and report back to the white house by july 12. victor and poppy. >> a fascinating story.

we are at the beginning of the questions on this one for sure. joe johns, thank you. turning to overseas. there are several surprising developments in the investigation into that horrific killing of a british soldier that happened in broad day light as flowers lay in tribute. a childhood friend of one of the attackers is under arrest this morning. he was taken into custody last night. police say he arrested on suspected terrorism offenses not related to that killing. >> what he told the bbc right before his arrest is incredible. he says this man, michael adebolajo was recruited by britain's equivalent of the fbi apparently to spy for him. he says the intelligence service approached him. adebolajo and another man are accused of hacking british soldier lee rigby to death

wednesday. washington state where new surveillance video shows the collapse on thursday of this interstate bridge north of seattle. amazingly no one was killed when the i-5 bridge fell into the river after being struck by an 18 wheeler. now, the governor of washington state says it will cost $15 million to fix the bridge. he has declared a state of emergency in the three counties that rely on the bridge for commerce. the ntsb, inspectors plan to spend as many as ten days investigating the bridge collapse. it is not clear how long the bridge which is a main artery into kaccanada, how long it wil remain closed. with more expected delays on this memorial day weekend. this is not the first time this has happened. the 58-year-old bridge was inspected in november after it was struck by another vehicle. reports showed at that time that

it had impact damage, tears, structure cracks and gouges but washington state officials say that it was apparently they say safe to drive on. this makes me think of minneapolis where i am from. remember the i-35 bridge collapsing, 13 people dying. thank goodness no one died in this. >> there are tens of thousands of bridges throughout the country that need to be checked and repaired. let's talk about the roads. a lot of people will be on the roads. will it be a rainy drive? let's check in with karen mcginnis for a look at what will happen this weekend in weather. >> just about will be warming up. we have a ways to go because we start out the morning exceptionally cold in a number of places. the hamptons in the 40s for this afternoon. going into monday the readings warm up into the 70s. just about everybody from chicago to south carolina

temperatures very comfortable. the rain will interfere with your weather picture. we are also looking at the chances for precipitation to go up especially across the central great plains where we are looking at pretty heavy rainfall over the last several days. they have in some cases seen as much as four inches of precipitation. in phoenix we go from triple digits to the 90s. temperatures from the 80s to the 70s in salt city. if you are traveling to the pacific northwest down to around 6,000 feet you see snowfall. quite heavy rainfall from junction, texas to san antonio. very heavy down pours reported there. look at the precipitation right now. big thunderstorms rumbling around omaha. watch out for that riding right along interstate 80 and through des moines. it looks like it is the northeast, kind of a soggy start

but snow across interior sections of new york and into the white mountains. it doesn't seem so much like may. not here. >> come on. snow in may? and now we are reaching into june. >> thank you. we have much more ahead this hour. >> here is a look at what is coming up. mom is afraid my son might be in a tent with a gay kid. the kid was going to be gay regardless. he might tell you now. >> the vote is in but the controversy is stronger than ever. why the boy scouts new policy has some people threatening to leave the group all together. two florida teens started dating. now one of the is facing 15 years in prison for the relationship. is it because of their age difference or because they're both girls?

i will never hurt you or anyone ever again. >> wolverine is back with all of his friends. and so is the rest of the hollywood a list. it is memorial day weekend and you know what that means, summerer block busters. all stations come over to mission a for a final go. this is for real this time. step seven point two one two. verify and lock. command is locked. five seconds. three, two, one. standing by for capture. the most innovative software on the planet... dragon is captured. is connecting today's leading companies to places beyond it. siemens. answers.

good morning. question for you. what is morally straight? in 1991 the boy scouts of america decided the phrase of the motto meant they should ban openly gay members. now they have changed course at least partially. the men and women in this room. across the street 1,400 members of boy scouts of america voted to allow gay youth to be scouts

but not gay adults. jennifer tyrrell was a scout leader until the organization dispelled her for being gay. >> i am so emotional because i literally would give of my life to make sure other people want to scout. we love scouting and we believed in the program other than the policy. >> reporter: in a 58-page report released in the lead up to the vote boy scout executives acknowledged that gay and lesbian relationships have changed rapped udly over the past three years. >> no matter how you feel about the issue kids deserve scouting. we want every kid to have a place where they feel protected. >> reporter: youth membership

has dropped considerably since 1999 and the decision has provoked a back lash. he says the change hurts the family structure. >> how would you feel as a parent sending your child to an organization where they are going to be sleeping over at night, where they are going to be going out and camping. >> reporter: scout executives think the decision will play differently. the district expects a financial lost of nearly $18 million. utah and idaho is expected to leave the organization. the northeast region expects an increase in corporate funding. the policy will become scout low january 1 to allow the group time to reconcile. neither side expects it to be easy. >> this is a private organization. start your own organization. >> this is a challenging complex area. it is a very difficult decision for a lot of people. we are moving forward together. >> leaders of the catholic
