north korea. secretary of state, john kerry, arrived in south korea, miles from the border between the two countries. "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live in washington, d.c. u.s. officials are telling nbc news a missile launch could come at any time. senior officials in south korea are telling us there may be no warning before that missile launch. so everyone is really on stand by here taking a look at that arrival early this morning. secretary of state, john kerry, met by south korea's new president, president park, saying she appreciates our leadership. this visit will show that the u.s. and south korea are closely coordinating their efforts to respond if there is some sort of missile launch. later on, the secretary of state held a news conference with the foreign minister. some tough talk for north korea saying this rhetoric is unacceptable. we are going to defend our allies, south korea and japan, in the region. he also said a fully tested, developed and demonstrated nuclear system, that's

inaccurate, not the case despite some reports here on capitol hill yesterday. finally, after this visit to south korea, he is off to china and japan. china could be key here, because the u.s. is hoping to lean on china to wield its influence to lean or north korea to bring down the temperature, back off these threats and end this situation. laura? >> one to closely watch. thank you very much. >> here is another reminder of the threat of war on the korean peninsula. small replicas of north korean missiles or display this morning alongside a giant flower show that opened in pyongyang. the representation of the flowers celebrate the country's founding leader, kim il-sung. it marked the 101st anniversary of his birth. he is the grand four of the present leader, kim jong-un. >> a poll released by wall street journal says a majority

this past year. some employees might have gotten themselves into a bind owing a huge tax bill with nothing to show for you. it our business reporter, scott mcgrew, does a pretty good job of explaining this. i'm not going to one up him but hopefully, i can equal him. let's say a facebook employee exercised but did not sell their option when the stock ipo'd at $38 a share. they owe taxes on whatever those shares are worth at $38 even though they have yet to realize those gains. they might have been gambling that they would be able to make more money by selling their stock at a higher price using those proceeds to pay off the tax bill. the stock prices plunged. it is now $28. that's a $10 difference. if they are still sitting on those shares waiting for the price to recover, they still owe that tax bill based on a $38 share price. you can do the math and see how they owe a lot of money but they have nothing to show for it. by the way, the founder of

facebook, mark zuckerberg, he owes $1.1 billion in federal and state taxes. so don't feel too bad for him. you can put away the violin. he did net over $2 billion in his selling of his facebook shares. reporting live here outside facebook headquarters in menlo park, bob redell, "today in the bay." spl. >> an overall reminder to the rest of us to do those taxes this weekend if you haven't. >> those numbers from facebook. those are like powerball numbers, we're talking. >> a lot of zeros there. 6:34. christina loren, we are getting paid big-time in powerball weather numbers. >> everybody is going to enjoy beautiful conditions. this is a start to the day that you want on a friday morning. 6:35. now, taking a live look at san francisco. you can see a little bit of low cloud cover, not a lot. let's show you san jose. another pictureesque start here. you are getting the oranges and the yellows, i'm happy to report. we have good air quality.
