at this hour the victim remains unidentified though an autopsy has been scheduled for later this morning. police tell us he fell into the parking lot and paramedics did rush him to atlanta's medical center but he ultimately died of the injuries. police this morning aren't saying what caused the fan to fall more than six stories to his death. >> the fall appears accidental. it appears the male fell 65 feet. there's no indication of foul play. >> only that it took place at monday night's rain delay game between the braves and phillies, away from the field and out of sight from most of the spectators. >> he fell from an upper level platform to a secured lot below. >> the teams finished the game after the rain delay and they deferred all questions about the incident to the local police. this is the second fatal fall in turner field since 1996. in 2008 ayman died after falling 150 feet from an upper deck in an alcohol related incident. this is the third time within the last year that a fan has

fallen over stadium railing here in atlanta. it happened twice last year at college football games resulting in one death. meanwhile, the braves do play the phillies here in atlanta tonight. >> randy outside turner field. thanks so much. well, michael bloomberg is warning residents that the days of high violent crime could return because of a federal court ruling calling the stop and frisk policy unconstitutional. a judge found it violates the 4th amendment and singles out blacks and hispanics. the city will appeal the ruling saying the practice saved countless lives. the justice department is reconsidering how it tries drug cases. eric holder says mandatory minimum sentences are not reducing crimes and leading to overcrowding of prisons. holder is telling federal prosecutors not to report the number of drugs in an arrest. if your teenage son didn't get a summer job this year, he is not alone. these guys already had a trick shot video that got a million hits last time around. this time it's 11 guys the basketball, roller skates and one speedo and once again they pull it all off to perfection.

interviews with hannah it became very clear to us that she is a victim in every sense of the word. from the time of her abduction to her recovery she was under extreme duress. >> reporter: she said when they moved to rescue her she was standing close to dimaggio and he was armed and shoot first. >> one shot was fired and possibly a second and he was killed shortly there after. >> at that moment the manhunt came to an end but for 16-year-old hannah the recovery was just beginning. >> as for my daughter, the healing process will be slow. she has been through a tremendous to risk ordeal. >> reporter: investigators say hannah did not witness or even know about the fire at dimaggio's southern california home where authorities found the bodies of tina and ethan anderson. the sheriff isn't releasing any details about what happened

during hannah's abduction. after a week of praying for hannah, breath anderson proudly wears his shirt that reads hannah, strong. >> i'm very proud of her and i love her very much. she is surrounded by the love of her family, friends, and community. give us our time to heal and grieve. >> reporter: the sheriff says there are still two on going investigations in this case. the first here in san diego into the abduction and murders. the second an fbi investigation into saturday's shooting in idaho. savannah. all right. joe in san diego for us this morning. thank you. emergency crews in florida are keeping a close eye on the sinkhole that swallowed part of a resort near disneyworld. kerry sanders is on the story for us again this morning. kerry, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. why did this happen? geologists are looking at rainfall levels. so far this year there's been about 29 and three quarter inches of rain. not a high amount but it may have been enough to set this sinkhole in motion. this morning, geologists say this sinkhole, already the

length of a basketball court maybe growing even bigger. >> the open sinkhole may open other sinkholes. >> triggers? >> yes, it's possible. >> reporter: as the earth opened up and fwan to story the building full of sleeping tourist there were panicked calls to 911. >> we're trying to get them evacuated and they're saying it's collapsing so fast they don't know if they can get to all the rooms. >> reporter: maggie on vacation with a friend and three toddlers escaped the collapsing building with little time to spare. >> it was a near death experience. >> reporter: maggie and everyone else in the building were able to escape because a security guard went running through the halls ordering more than 100 people out. >> there were people sleeping. i had to wake them up and tell them to get out of the building. >> reporter: the resort manager says the security guard is a hero. >> had he not acted on his own as he was trained to do we were confident there could have been many people trapped in those

buildings. >> reporter: why do sinkholes happen? sandy soil sits on top of clay and that's supported by a layer of limestone. when there's too much rain or a drought it can create a void. as the void gets bigger the earth on top becomes too heavy and the limestone gives way. but for those that lived through it, all the scientific explanations won't make the experience any less terrifying. >> it's hours later. hold your handout there, are you calm? you're still shaking. >> yeah. >> it was that traumatic. >> yeah. >> reporter: the tourists who scrambled to safety left behind their clothes, their laptop computers, just about everything. they're working with the red cross now to at least get some of those things together while they try to piece together their continued vacations at disney. matt. kerry sanders, thank you very much. attorneys for james whitey bulger are already working on an appeal for the notorious boston mob boss. he was found guilty on racketeering, conspiracy and a string of murders.

kristen is at the federal courthouse in boston. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, matt. the newspaper says it all. guilty 31 times. at one point james whitey bulger was on the fbi's most wanted list and now he'll likely spend the rest of his life in prison. as the verdict was read, the courtroom was packed. whitey bulger, the 83-year-old prone to expletive raced exchanges with witnesses stood quitely. based on a litany of crimes including involvement in 11 murders, extortion and drug trafficking. >> this day of reconning for bulger has been a long time in coming. >> reporter: his father michael was murdered in 1982 when he was just a boy. he left his job to spend every day at the trial. >> he wanted to be known like a big popular gangster and he's going down as the biggest rat in

history and that's what we wanted to do and that was my goal is to make sure he's not going to get glorified. >> reporter: through the trial bulger was portrayed as an fbi informant. in the law of the streets, some say it's considered worst than murder. it was bulger that jack nicholson's character was based on in the departed. he skipped town and wasn't captured until he was found in 2011 living in santa monica california with fake ids, weapons and $800,000. most of it hidden in the walls. >> mr. bulger knew as soon as he was arrested that he was going to die behind the walls of a prison. it's never been about jim bulger being set free. >> reporter: the defense said bulger was pleased he wasn't found guilty in all of the murders. like in the case of steven davis's 26-year-old sister deborah. they had no findings. >> it's not over for me. it's not over until i'm in the

ground. a lot of you know that of me. i have fight beyond a reasonable doubt, you know? >> reporter: now many of the families are seeking some type of restitution. many angry that he committed some of these crimes while apparently working for the fbi. the defense plans to appeal. the sentencing is set for mid-november. >> thank you very much. steven davis' sister deborah was a victim of the gang and he is a member of the defense team. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> a lot of guilty verdicts on racketeering and conspiracy charges, 11 of 19 murders but in the case of your sister deborah the jury came back with no finding. not guilty. not innocent. no finding. how did you react? >> my stomach turned. i was beside myself.

i didn't know what to think. there was enough evidence brought to the juror's attention. we had testimonies i thought were strong. some were a little weak and edgy. but most of them were strong. >> he'll spend the rest of his life in prison. that seems all but certain. does that give you satisfaction. you said there's no closure but are you satisfied that that will be his fate? >> not at all because i failed with him going to prison the rest of his life that i had no part in that. my sister's murder is still in limbo there and -- >> you wanted that conviction to be a part of that sentence. mr. brennan, already you're talking about appeal. 31 of 32 counts when you're talking about racketeering, conspiracy, 11 of the 19 murders he was convicted. what are you appealing?

>> at the beginning of this case we saw transparency. it was important to us to bring to the jury but also to the public the truth about what happened, the corruption within the fbi and the department of justice for decades. james bulger was a leading organized crime figure in boston for over 20 years and he wasn't even charged with a misdemeanor. this was a unique opportunity for james bulger to testify and tell the jury and tell the public about everything that happened. >> he had a choice. he could have testified. he chose not to testify, why? >> the reason why james bulger didn't testify is because of the ruls of the court and the order of the court limited his testimony. to get up and give a confession served no purpose. he wanted to tell not only the truth but the whole truth. he would have been one of the most compelling testimonies many this case.

>> are you disappointed he didn't take the stand? >> in a lot of ways but my theory on that is if he was to testify in aymaner of politicians and fbi agents and local law officials, he was pulling his brother billy bulger into that whirlpool of sludge of the dirt and corruption of the politics of boston, you know? >> there's a chance you may get to speak in november during his sentencing. what would you like to say if you get a chance to come face to face with james whitey bulger? >> i would like him to look at me when i speak to him. i'd like to -- the answers i'm looking for to questions that haven't been asked yet and i don't know where i'm going to go with it. i'm disappointed. not even thinking that far ahead. i'm still disappointed of the evidence that was brought.

this guy had three cemeteries of his own within a half mile of each other and his condo was so many yards away from this where he could oversee all of these cemeteries. my sister wasn't planted there by some act of god. she was put there by him and his cohorts, you know. >> we'll be following this obviously november 13th, i think is the sentencing. we'll follow any appeals process. mr. brennan, thank you very much. mr. davis, thanks for your time this morning as well. >> thank you. >> let's go to savannah. >> all right, matt, we'll take a turn now to politics. a candid new interview with anthony weiner. the former congressman is speaking out about his campaign, his scandal and his wife. stephanie gosk has details on that. good morning. >> good morning. this is a long online interview. nearly 40 minutes. buzz feed scheduled it before recent revelations about weiner sent his poll numbers tumbling. but he showed up anyway. anthony weiner isn't backing down repeating his impassioned plea to new york city voters. >> if you want to have someone

who fights for you, someone who believes in the things that you believe in. someone that won't back down and shows the toughness and the independence, the job is mayor. >> he did spend time talking about issues but the conversation always cycled back to the scandal that forced weiner to re-sign from congress. sometimes with a bit of stark, the kind that has made the website so popular. >> why not use snap chat. >> as in the app that limits access and deletes photos. >> i don't have a good answer for that. >> a new poll says 75% of new york city voters now have a negative opinion of weiner. >> the coverage has been brutal but remember when i got in the race the numbers weren't that much better, you know, 55, 56, whatever it was. >> weiner topped the polls soon after entering the race but

after admitting to more inappropriate texts and phone calls even after leaving congress, now he sits in fourth place. >> are you on the way back up or have we bottomed out? >> i hope so. i would hope so. >> once again weiner was asked about the effect the scandal has had on his wife, houma abdean. a long time aid to hilary clinton. >> do you know what the role in hilary's 2016 campaign is going to be. >> i do. >> what will it be? >> i'm not telling you. >> do you feel like you have damaged her place in that world. >> i feel that what i have done has hurt her, yeah. it's hurt her professional. it's hurt her personality. >> weiner says the sexting has stopped and wouldn't go into sidney leathers. the woman that went public about her exchange with the former congressman. >> do you think you got set up? >> i did this to me.

i made these mistakes. >> weiner has less than a month to convince new york voters that his past mistakes won't effect his ability to be mayor of new york. the vote is scheduled for september 10th. >> we'll stay on it, thank you. >> racial discrimination claims against paula deen have been thrown out by a judge. will that help her repair her image >> and the hyper loop unveiled. one big idea to have you traveling in tube from place to place at 700 miles per hour. >> i'm on board with that. >> i'm ready to go. but first, this is "today" on nbc. >> 45 minutes. but first, this is "today" on nbc. >> 45 minutes.

scored a legal victory. the judge's 20-page ruling is said the former employee is not an agrieved party when it comes to racial discrimination at uncle bubba's seafood and oyster house. she has no standing to sue over alleged racial bias aimed at african americans. >> if you allowed everybody to sue under the statute then the flood gates of the entire court system would open up. >> reporter: a lawyer for jackson had no comment on the ruling but dean released a statement saying she is confident that those that truly know how she lives her life know that she believes in equal opportunity, kindness and fairness for everyone. but the damage nut court of public opinion has been extreme. in a deposition stemming from a lawsuit she admitted to using racial slurs in the past. that read to online apologies. >> i beg for your forgiveness. >> reporter: and to an emotional today show interview with matt. >> i'll ask it to you bluntly,

are you a racist. >> no. no i'm not. if there's anyone out there that has never said something that they wish they could take back, if you you are out there, please pick up that stone and throw it so far at my head that it kills me. >> reporter: after that appearance qvc cut ties with deen joining other business partners including the food network, target and home depot. despite the fall out, she still has plenty of supporters. >> it has nothing to do with it. people say things all the time they don't mean. >> she's a nice lady. they need to leave her alone and let her go about her business. >> reporter: she and her brother are asking to have the rest of the lawsuit, the part involving sexual harassment resolved as well. the judge will make that ruling at a later date. let's bring in star jones and

donny. let's start with the legal question. to be clear here, let's see what the ruling is and what it is not. it does not say that paula deen never said those allegedly offensive things. >> no not at all. what it does is it simply says that the person who is bringing one portion of the lawsuit was not in a position to bring that portion. she still has the lawsuit for sexual harassment and abuse that is pending right now. >> without -- this is an old principle in the law. you yourself have to be injured to bring a lawsuit. >> it's one of the first things we learn in law school is if you're not the injured party you don't have a right to just go out and sue people. this person was not the subject of the racial discrimination and the court said that's not what you can come in here and argue. >> this plaintiff is a white woman who said she witnessed racial discrimination. >> donny, to you, does this help paula deen nonetheless.

if people only read the headline and it says judge throws out racial discrimination claims it has to help her. >> doesn't help her because corporations will know the truth. the reality is it didn't come out and say she didn't say these things or wasn't planning a plantation themed party. so the horrific racial things that she did still stand. unfortunately, for her, corporations will never be able to stand next to her because even if five years go by and they say you're a good person and made a stupid mistake then they get thousands of letters from consumers, i'm not shopping at your store anymore. that's unfortunate. i want to ask star a question, there's nothing that mel gibson could ever say to me that would make it okay for the antijewish slurs. i'm just wondering as a black woman, if you're the one on the receiving end of the offense, can you forgive. >> i quote maya angelo, they'll

forget what you said and what you did but never sforget how i makes you feel. it makes you feel like less than a person. >> are you shocked that paula deen and her lawyers didn't settle this case? if they had this deposition may never have been taken and never have come out. >> settle it for a little money. >> when you're a corporation, you always settle. >> great to get your perspective. we'll see you in a bit for the professionals. but first a check of the weather with al. >> savannah, thank you so much. we have a lot of fun folks here. it's jack's first time in the big apple. you're jack. >> all right jack. you have a whole passe here. you don't even have to talk. say your name. >> jack arnold. >> jack arnold ladies and gentlemen. he's here until thursday. let's show you what we've got for today. oh, man, if you are down in the

details. 57 pages of artist renditions of his plans to whisk travelers 400 miles from l.a. to san francisco in 30 minutes. the tubes would sit along interstate 5. a quite ride without turbulence. >> it's a cross between a concord, a air hockey table. a colorado company has been working for years on a similar plan, only bigger, going 4,000 miles per hour. >> new york to beijing china for instance in about two hours. >> but while it may be possible, how likely is it? >> it costs billions of dollar to build, how much are consumers going to have to pay to ride this thing. >> he insists a ride would cost less than an airplane ticket and has proven skeptics wrong in in the past. >> the ironman costume sits on

floor. >> so you're ironman. >> maybe in certain respects. >> the question whether hyperloop will fly. well, i have been reminded many times over the last 24 hours that of course the ironman comic character predates him himself. true, but hollywood used him as their character. he says he doesn't have time to actually build hyperloop. he is busy running space x and tesla but he hopes others will make his dream a reality. >> tom on this story, thanks very much. first of all, would you try it. if they could build it, would you try it. >> of course. >> not the first time. >> i was going to say, i'm going to ride after you. >> it's like a fast mri is the only concern. >> are you clostrophobic. >> yeah. but we were talking about how long it took them to build the thing to kennedy airport. >> yeah. >> i like how he said he would build it but he doesn't have

time. he thought of the idea in one night. >> he spent one night thinking this thing up. >> the travel fare would be about as much as a plane ride. so it would be worth it. >> wouldn't you want to be the guy going backward the whole way up. is your favorite store tracking you if you return things over and over again? >> coming up next, the lost film of jerry lewis. footage the hollywood icon never wanted you to see pops up online. we'll tell you about it right after this [ music playing ] hi. i'm jan. welcome to toyota's once-a-year clearance event. can i still get a great deal? yes, there's lots to choose from, but you'd better hurry. they're going fast.

with shortness of breath and chest pains. today she is dealing with the reality that he may only have months left to live. the teen needs a new heart but the boy's mother says the hospital won't even put his name on the transplant list. hamilton provided a letter to nbc news saying anthony is not a transplant candidate due to having a history of non-compliance. in medical terms, non-compliance means a patient is unable or unwilling to follow through with a medical regiment. for example, failing to take prescribed medications or missing doctors appointsmements. but anthony's mother said her son had no history of illness and she believes he is being punished by the hospital for run ins with the law. he was under house arrest and wearing an ankle monitor when he was admitted to the hospital. punishment for a recent fight. >> he's a young boy. he's going to make mistakes. but i think he still deserves a

second chance. >> the hospital told us it can't discuss the case because of patient privacy law but they did dismiss a statement saying the well-being of our patients is always our first priority. we're continuing to work with his family and looking at all options regarding this patient's healthcare. we follow very specific criteria in determining eligible for a transplant of any kind. his mother fears that without a new heart, her son could be in for the ultimate punishment. >> i just pray. i pray constantly. >> let us bring in dr. goldberg. a cardiologist and medical director at the women's heart program. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> when we hear non-compliance. denied a transplant because of non-compliance, is there one set of guidelines for all of these transplants? >> there is one set of guidelines for all transplants. first it's medical to make sure the person is healthy enough. they have good functioning kidneys and normally functioning

liver. don't have alcohol or drug abuse and are healthy enough to go through the procedure. we have the technology to do the procedure. that can be done pretty easily. all you need is a heart. >> then you hear this family say they're concerned that perhaps this is something other than about a medical concern, this could be because of run ins with the law. is that something that the board overseeing a transplant would consider? >> not necessarily the fact that the person has been in trouble with the law but we do worry about people who fail to be compliant or are able to follow through with the program after transplant. >> but if you have had run ins with the law would you that place you in a lower spot on the transplant list. >> not necessarily. what places you on a lower part of the transplant list is evidence that you haven't followed through with taking your medications in the past. research has shown if you have failed to take your heart failure medication before the transplant you're unlikely to take them after. >> this is life and death for a

patient. this is the world for that patient's family. if they feel they have been judged wrongly in this and that they haven't been given the right consideration, what avenues are left open to them? >> i think there has to be better communications between the medical personnel and the family. certainly they can always go for a second opinion at another hospital. >> can they appeal the decision. >> they would appeal the decision to the ethics committee of the hospital and that could be decided with the ethics committee of the hospital. it sounds like the one thing this young man has going for him is a really committed family and that also counts with someone who is on the transplant list. >> all right, doctor, thank you very much. i appreciate your input. >> when we come back never been imagines of johnny cash. but first your local news and local weather.

[ music playing ] >> reporter: he was an icon and a rebel known simply as the man in black. johnny cash forever changed the course of country and rock music. from the chiselled face to the trademark growl. cash emotiobodied outlaw imagin >> my father grew up in northeast arkansas picking

cotton. he had humble up bringings. he carried this throughout his life. he always understood the hardships of people. >> reporter: his career spanned five decades. he wrote more than 1,000 songs. hits like ring of fire, cry, cry, cry, folsom prison blues. he was the hottest act in the world even outselling the beetles. but he struggled with addiction, alcohol and drugs. >> i'm a chemically dependent person. >> reporter: he talked about his struggles on today in 1984. >> with the help of god and my family and loved ones i was able to refrain from mood altering drugs and alcohol for a period of nine years. >> reporter: cash would credit the love of his life, his wife june carter with helping to bring him back from the edge. their relationship the heart and soul of the 2005 film walk the line. >> johnny cash's relationship

we're back now 8:38. tackling the day's hot topics with another addition of today's professional. star jones, donny deutsch and happy huntsman from msnbc's the cycle. let's start with the story

making headlines in new york but has ramifications all across the country. stop and frisk. a policy implemented by the new york city police department supported by the mayor and police commissioner has been overturned by a federal judge. stop and frisk for those that don't know, police can stop anyone on the street, frisk them looking for things like illegal handguns. the mayor says it helped reduce crime. what do we think about the ruling? >> it has helped reduce crime but 88% of the people stopped are black and latina and 90% of those people are found to have done absolutely nothing wrong and the court correctly ruled that stop and frisk is a policy that should be in place and okay but not the way new york has been doing it. >> you're exactly right. it was hard to look at the evidence presented by the judge yesterday and not say something is a little off here. that doesn't seem right. facts are the facts. crime has fwon down so i think bloomburg and the nypd

commissioner have the right to say crime is down but facts are the fact. >> will new york city and resident of the city will less safe without this policy. >> i'm not a young black male. but it's the business of fighting crime. it's target marketing. 90% of the people are innocent but 92% of the crime is committed by young african american males and young hispanic males. if i'm selling dentures i'm not advertising to everybody. >> but the law doesn't allow you to do this. it might be uncomfortable for you and it may make you irritated but just in order to stop bad behavior you can not violate the constitution of the united states of america. that's the basic bottom line. >> the conversation we're having about the role of the nsa it's the right balance between our safety and personal liberty. >> and to change the constitution, you cannot do that. >> the mayor will appeal this decision. does he have grounds to appeal? >> he does have grounds to appeal however the policy that

the court struck down was simply the manner in which we're doing it in new york. >> it's an uphill battle. >> let me move on. two people in the news making headlines for a spat they're having. the president of the united states and kris jenner of the kardashian family. the president was asked as if a boy or child he ever wanted things he couldn't afford or his family couldn't afford. he said i never felt i was deprived. were there things all of us might have liked to have? sure but partly think i tluz i was a shift in culture. we weren't exposed in the same way kids are these days. there was not the window into the life styles of rich and famous. kids weren't monitoring every day what kim kardashian was wearing or where kanye west was going on vacation and thinking that somehow that was the mark of success. >> unfortunately kid versus the window into everything now and if everything, strangely enough, when you see the kardashians and their whole brand is accessible

wealth. that's a real person. that's not an actor, i can get there. it maybe opens up opportunity to more people and drives them more. on top of that kim kardashian is a hard working young girl. >> let me let you hear what kris jenner had to say in response to the president's comments. >> kim kardashian is the hardest working young lady in the world. she never sleeps. she never stops, she never slows down and works so hard for what she has got. i started thinking about her 10,000 square foot house and i thought, wow, her job affords her to live in a 10,000 square foot house and i think, if i'm not mistaken, that mr. president's job affords him to live in a 55,000 square foot house. >> what do you think of this argument? >> of course she is going to use every opportunity to seize this attention. you have the most powerful man in the world mentioning your daughter and her fiancee, whatever he is, by name. she's going to take as long as she wants to talk about it.

i felt like it was an awkward moment. i'm not sure if she understood what the president was trying to say when he was talking about the american dream. >> i think the president was trying to explain that hard work and education is what will get the vast majority of young people the success we all crave. when you see young people like kim kardashian who does work extremely hard and i like her as a young lady, and kanye west with their excessive life style. kids think i can do that and be that and the vast majority does not. the vast majority can only success with hard work and education. >> we celebrate the royals. which is a fantasy. this is a reality fantasy. what we can't tell kids is you'll just get a tv show but this is just who we are. >> you're not going to be the one that plays nfl football, nba fastba basketball. you're not going to hit the ball like a-rod did the other night.

you're not going to be that person. >> which is why you understand what the president is saying. someone that watches a kardashian episode or two i knew what he was saying. he knew it would get a response. >> you look at the old news reels from hollywood and we have always been looking up to people and aspiring to things a lot of us could never reach. >> it's more accessible now. >> i have another one i'll save for next week when you guys come back. >> thanks matt. >> we're going to be back right after this.

we are back at 8:46. store shelves are filled with skin care products promising to make us look years younger which which ones work? well they tested 84 products over the course of 11 months to let you know which ones are

worth the money. rosemary ellis good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i'll tell you you are doing a great public service. you tested this. tell us how you picked your winners. >> i think we're all so confused. since we did this test for our anti-aging award more than 300 new skin care products hit the store shelves. how do you know what to buy? good housekeeping is the only place where we actually test them. 11 months we tested 1,000 real women volunteers, plus our lab tests. more than 25,000 lab measurements. we came up with 10 categories. >> we're going to look at five. a day cream with an spf 30. which did you like? gold and silver. >> gold is top performing. silver also performed very well. this is a perfect example which you do not have to spend a lot on skin care to get great results. spf 30 is the baseline. we don't bother to test anything below that.

if you're not protecting yourself from the sun. >> neutrogena got the gold. >> silver is roc. testers loved the way they plumped and moisturized. >> night cream. these are night creams without retinol. these don't have it. >> it can irritate the skin of some women. they tend to be more drying. these are moisturizing powerhouses. >> nobody 7 won the gold. there one came in second, vichy. >> sometimes the gold and silver are the less expensive. eye cream, what did you like. >> this is a case where the the top performer is incredibly expensive. it's amore. $260. let me just say this. if you're going to spend a lot of money -- >> let me steal it.

it's glued to the table. they knew you were coming after it. >> the skin on your eyes is the thinnest. you really do want to protect it. this had perfect scores on two of the top categories that we score on. >> which one is silver? >> the silver is by avene. both good choices no matter what your budget. >> dark spot reducers. gosh, we want these to work. >> loreal paris came in top. and the silver is much more expensive by skinmedica. loreal worked well on the chest area. skin medica worked better for fade spots on your face. >> and they really did work? >> you don't put it on a spot here or there. you spread it all over. it brightens your face. over time it does reduce the spots. then you just have to make sure

to put on sunscreen. >> we saved the best for last. wrinkle smoothers. >> this is a temporary fix. almost all the testers who used the top-performing products say they would use it for a special occasion or night out. they work in different ways. the winner is this one by skin iceland. it has something that relaxes the muscles in your face. they left the applicator on this one. it has oak kernel oil. >> can i just tell you our producer said wrap and bring me a bottle. rosemary, thank you so much. coming up next, a gourmet meal you can make at home that's perfect for this time of year. but first this is "today" on nbc. triple again. do you see the 10% back in points,

can you use any fish with it. >> yeah, even chicken. so we have it here. >> what do i have to look for. >> there should be no smell. we don't smell the fish. it's not fishy at all. >> okay. >> and that is very important. then i'm going to slice it thinly like that. and the idea is to cook it quickly. >> when we talk about poaching we're talking about cooking it in liquid and shallow poaching means very little liquid. >> yeah. >> you want that to be hot by the time you put in that there. >> a bit of olive oil, some lemon juice on the fish and then we are -- we have two plates while it's cooking. >> how long will that make

probably? >> it will take about two minutes to be cooked. >> it should workout perfectly. >> while i'm doing this presentation with the tomatoes you can make mix all of those. >> before you do the tomatoes, will you tell me what kinds of ingredients we're talking about here? >> capers, shallot, olives -- >> okay. all in there. >> i'm using my tomatoes here to put it on the plate and that will give nice color. >> how much olive oil? >> be generous. don't be shy on it. you can pour. >> i'm pouring. >> that's it. a bit of salt. >> okay. >> so i'm flipping the fish. it's really fast. >> it's a minute on each other. >> about a minute or minute and a half. it's something that you can do at home very easily.

very simple. and i'm still doing the presentation. you have the sauce. >> can you make the sauce ahead of time? >> if you keep it in the fringe for a few hours it's going to be really, really good. when the fish is cooked, we take a skewer and we go through the flesh of the fish like that and when it comes back to the hand it should be warm. >> okay. i've never seen that done before. >> if it's cold it means it's raw, obviously and if it's well done you burn yourself and it's your fault. >> it's your own fault. >> as the french say it's your own fault. >> we'll put the fish on top. >> fine. >> some salt on the tomatoes. >> i'll let you. >> hello. >> double air kiss, sorry. >> and we just have to -- i'm going to use yours matt, you did a good job with yours. why not. we're going to put some on the
