live in seoul this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. those reports are from south korean military sources. they say the two missiles have been moved by rail to the coast and are now on those launchers. after weeks of escalations and threats north korea's missiles may be ready to fire. south korean military sources say the north has moved two of what it appeared to be musudan missile s on to mobile launchers on the eastern coast. the missiles are not believed capable of carrying nuclear warheads. in fact, it is unclear if they are armed at all. they are estimated to have a range of 2,000 miles, perhaps more and could reach japan, south korea or guam where the u.s. has military forces. the united states may try to shoot them down. the south korean sources said the missiles have been quote hidden, perhaps to shield them from satellite view and

suggested that a firing could come with little advance warning. speculation in south korea is that the north may launch the missiles in a test fire, a show of force on or around april 15th, the anniversary of the birth of north korea's founder kim ill sun. they tried to launch a satellite but crashed in to the sea after 90 seconds. the musudan missile if fired may do the same. countries in the flight path worry about the intent of any missile launch and what may happen if they go off course. >> richard, you know this is a couple of weeks where it seemed every morning we have some new controversial move by north korea. most of the experts say this is only bluster, and yet it continues. what's the end game here? >> reporter: i think for the end game it is about messaging. north korea wants the world to recognize it is a nuclear power,

that it has nuclear weapons. north korea will feel more secure, insulated from a foreign attack, particularly from the united states. he is also trying, we have been told, to bolster his credibility among his inner circle, proof to the general that he is strong. whether something will happen or not, north korea seems to be deliberately mysterious. on the one hand, we are not seeing massive troop build up that would indicate an invasion. but consider this, just today pyongyang informed foreign diplomates in north korea that after april 10th they should have an evacuation plan in place because it can't guarantee their safety. >> richard engel in south, south korea this morning. thank you very much. >> a busy morning here this morning. we have new jobs numbers this morning. indicating slow growth. >> that's right. just out the latest labor department survey shows the u.s. economy added just 88,000 jobs in march.

crazy" because i literally have been running from crazy my entire life. i felt like what if i wake up and i don't know i'm nuts. >> you said something in the pre-interview, you said you were living with depression every single day and didn't know it until you weren't depressed anymore. >> exactly right. >> what did the difference feel like? >> i have to say that my partner, bobby williams, has a lot to do with it. it was like coming into -- i mean, it's like being in darkness. you don't know that was the life i had but when i realized that i could come out of that through lifestyle choices which is really why i got involved in the book with bobby. >> so now that she's not running from crazy, she runs with crazy. which helps out a lot. >> this concept you can choose a lifestyle and relieve some of what might be considered mental illness, a medical condition, a physical condition, a hormonal or chemical condition. >> absolutely. >> do you really believe in this? >> i absolutely do. >> talk about the mcclain over

at harvard, said about 200 years ago that's what they did. it was about work sunshine -- >> psychopharmaceutical drugs, they honored me and i was a little -- i was hesitant only because i truly believed that the piece that is missing is lifestyle, what you eat, how you think, whether you get outside. >> getting fresh air, eating the wholesome foods, adventure in your life. >> yes. >> you're believers in that. >> absolutely. i have mariel in yosemite climbing. you want to talk about not being crazy anymore that makes her not crazy anymore. >> makes you present. >> you also talk about the need to play and laugh. >> absolutely. >> what are the things that you avoid in your life now that you think could be triggers for darker times? >> well because my family was so full of addictions, there was a tremendous amount of alcoholism, i never was a drinker. i know because i have addictive

but i don't think that i've passed on this depression. >> and in terms of you personally, you have fears at all that depression will come back? >> not at all anymore because of my lifestyle now, because of the willing way and the way that we live our life, i feel like, you know, i feel like, i mean my life is just starting over. it's just amazing. >> nice to be able to say. >> it is. >> it's a pleasure mariel and bobby nice to meet you.. >> pleasure for me as well. >> the book is called "the willing way." >> we have the six greatest doctors in the world, meet them 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, go to willingway.com and you'll see them there. >> we're back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc.

>> we were at discovery channel. >> and we were there to talk about the special that we have coming up june 23rd where nick walenda, who is going to walk the tight rope over the grand canyon without a tether. >> just going to walk the canyon on live television. >> he showed willie a little bit what it's like walking across. >> i don't think anybody will hold his hand. look at natalie doing it. >> we made it. >> about a six-inch drop there. >> on the wire he's doing it, no the a board. >> he's doing it on a cable across the grand canyon. incredible. >> i'm pulling for you. >> he's extremely confident. let's move on to our take two, getting a lot of attention, the president of the united states said yesterday of the attorney general of california pamela harris he said she is the best looking attorney general in the country. now that got some outrage, a lot of people thought it was

offensive, thought it was objectifying to her achievements or any woman. liza, what do you think? do you think the president of the united states should be focused on the looks of the attorney general of california? >> i don't think he was. i think it was a compliment. i'm sure she's happy he said it. i'd be happy. i think it was just a normal thing for a man to say. >>. >> he said she's brilliant, dedicated, tough, she's exactly what you'd want anybody who is administrating the law, she also happens to be by far the best looking attorney general in the country. >> i think that's swell. >> you like it? >> yeah, it's, it's amusing, and also very nice. i think -- >> it's not like he said she's smokin' hot. >> right, but i guess some people are saying we're in a day and age where women especially

of her position should be taken, given credit for what she's accomplished. >> you can't say she's pretty? >> politico writer as well who wrote well why are we becoming so concerned with being politically correct these days? you can't acknowledge a woman's good looks? it's ridiculous. >> wait a minute, when this lovely woman gets up in the morning, and looks in the mirror and puts on her make yup and do her hair don't you think she wants to be attractive and to be thought of as attractive? she's not doing that for no reason. >> folks on the other side of the aisle have said had that been a republican who made that comment that the people would have jumped all over it. so what's good for the goose is good for the gander. >> it's an interesting debate. it certainly sparks a lot of talk and i think i mean as liza, i kind of feel like she has accomplished a lot. i don't think the president meant that in any way except for

just saying oh, he gave her all the praise ahead of time and then at the end said by the way she happens to be a very good looking woman. >> we're all against objectifying women. >> i think we should objectify willie geist. >> please do. >> he's smokin' hot. >> "people" magazine was that objectifying you? >> yes, it was. let's go on a serious note to our take three, we are remembering roger ebert, the fabled film critic, died yesterday at the age of 70, he had a brave bout with cancer, of course siskel and ebert at the movies launched in 1975, and roger ebert was writing film criticism up until the day he died, and truly one of the greatest, liza. >> his blogs became so popular after his bout with thyroid cancer and throat cancer, and his salivary glands he lost that part of his jaw so he couldn't talk anymore as we saw in an interview i did with him two

years ago but he continued to write up until his last day, his last blog in fact was so touching that he wrote after he discovered the cancer had returned and this was earlier this week he said he was going to take a leave of presence, instead of leave of absence, but he's certainly going to be missed. i don't think anybody went to the movies without thinking about what roger ebert thought about that movie. >> you're right. >> would you always watch siskel and ebert at the movies to get a sense of what you wanted to see and what you didn't and they had such a great spirited discussion. probably couldn't even happen today but they had a great discussion. >> sometimes you saw both sides of the story, and sometimes you know, roger would like the actors, and the other wonderful man wouldn't talk about the actors but he liked the movie. so it was always interesting. >> did he ever come down hard on you, liza? >> no, thank god. >> i think if he were here he'd want us to read one of his

reviews. here is what he thought of "ishatr." "it is a truly dreadful film, a lifeless massive lumbering exercise in failed comedy. this movie is a long, dry slog. it's not funny, it's not smart and it's interesting only in the way a traffic accident is interesting." that was in 1987. >> he didn't seem to like it very much. >> no. >> we could safe i had say ishtar was canned. in our news this morning, just out, slower growth in the job market, the labor department is reporting that the u.s. economy added just 88,000 jobs in march, that is the fewest in nine months. however, the nation's unemployment rate did drop 0.1% in march to 7.6%, that's largely because of people dropping out of the workforce. a major new ruling from a federal judge this morning striking down restrictions on the so-called morning after pill. the decision now makes the pill available over-the-counter for women of all ages, reversing the
