that's what's happening. we'll be back with a local update in a half hour. good morning. final countdown, the government now just hours from shutting down. the deal unlikely. plenty of finger pointing between republicans and democrats. can anything break the stalemate? unsurvivable. a private jet heads into a hanger causing a massive fire. flames so intense, crews are struggling to reach the victims. we're live on the scene. back on trial again. amanda knox and her former boyfriend are facing a murder trial for the third time today. she won't be there. he might testify. he talks to us in an exclusive interview today, monday, september 30th, 2013.

>> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. live from studio 1-a in rockefeller plaza. and good morning. welcome to "today" on a monday morning. i'm matt lauer. >> morning. i'm savannah guthrie along side al roker and natalie morales. everybody is watching washington this morning. the u.s. capitol open for business but for how long? a beautiful shot. it's not so beautiful inside. >> if you could be a fly on the wall. the big vote coming at 2:00 in the senate today. that will kick things off. a chain reaction following that. >> we'll get a lot of perspective on this this morning. including from bill o'reilly. he's here in our studio this morning. he has a new book called "killing jesus." we'll talk to him about that as well. >> that is our top story and it's hours away now. peter alexander has the latest on what's unfolding. peter, good morning to you.

>> matt, good morning to you. anything is possible, but it looks to be an almost uncertainty. that the government will shut down beginning at midnight tonight. democratic and republican aids aides are predicting that much. the senate won't even begin considering the house bill until late this afternoon in what is as much a partisan crisis as a fiscal crisis the country is barrelling toward it's first shutdown in 17 years. >> it's decision day. congress has until midnight tonight to avoid a government shutdown but no one is getting their hopes up. house republicans are refusing to fund the government unless the president's healthcare law with enrollment set to begin tomorrow is delayed one year. >> the american people deserve to have time to see what this will do before it's implemented. >> and the house plan is a nonstarter for senate democrats

or the president who huddled with advisors on sunday insisting republicans agree to fund the government without conditions. >> don't shut down the government and fail to pay the government's bill with the debt ceiling. >> reporter: the democratic controlled senate didn't even meet sunday. the halls silent. instead, they'll wait until this afternoon to reject the house plan. just hours before the government shuts it's doors. house republicans are furious. >> they have refused to even consider the compromise that we have offered. >> reporter: among the republican's demands, a one year delay for the president's healthcare law, the repeal of a tax on medical devices, and guaranteed pay for u.s. troops even if there is a shut down. texas senator ted cruz is defending the republican strategy. >> the american people overwhelmingly reject obamacare. they understand it's not working. the only people that aren't listening to the argument are the career politicians in washington. >> republican lawmakers are

considering one last ditch option that they may throw on to the mix that would require a change. the staff and white house would have to pay for their own insurance through the health care law without the help of government subsidy to help with that cost. >> peter alexander in washington, thank you. the washington post called that idea a declaration of all out war. let's get to chuck todd. good morning to you. you're going to take a bit of a contrary position to conventional wisdom this morning. you don't think it's inevitable that the government shuts down tonight? >> whenever there's time on the legislative clock something could happen. what john boehner has going on inside among house republicans is while there are that small band of loud conservatives that are wanting to not cave and not give in to anything. do whatever it takes to stop the healthcare law, there is a

growing chorus of moderate republicans telling boehner don't do this. you remember how bad this was for the republican party 20 years ago. what are you doing? you're putting the majority at risk and boehner has a couple of options, savannah. he could blink as far as buy time and do a clean funding bill for one week. anything is possible when there's time on the clock. so we should be careful assuming we're careening toward the end. >> well it seems to me this all comes down to who thinks they will get the blame for a shutdown. for 17 years it's been that the republicans paid for the shutdown in the 90s but new republicans aren't sure that's true. >> they say healthcare was more unpopular than anything debated in the mid '90s. they think this is a different time.

the way people get their information is different so it won't be just the big, bad mainstream media controlling the narrative. there's a lot of reasons they think things will be different this time but there's one article of faith that i always put my analysis in when you see the show downs. which party is united and which party isn't? democrats are united. there is no democrat that is ready to break ranks. the republicans are fighting so that's why you have to assume at some point boehner is going to blink. is it today or does he allow the government to shutdown for a few days and then blink. >> thank you. special coverage all this week on air and online to answer your questions about the affordable care act as it takes effect. matt. >> thank you. bill o'reilly is the host of the o'reilly factor on fox news and the author of a book called "killing jesus." we'll talk about that. good to see you. >> is it really? is it really good to see me? come on. >> it's always good to see you. come midnight, is the government

going to be up and running or shutdown? >> i don't know. this is why people don't like national politics because these pin heads -- there's sincerity on both sides but they should get something done. what should happen is they should extend government funding for three or four weeks. they should sit down and hash this thing out. that's what should happen. that's not hard. >> they should get something done. every expert you talk to says this will be bad for the country, both sides know that, and yet here we are standing on the edge of the cliff again. washington is addicted to crisis, why? >> well, the democrats have to stand by their guy president obama and that's his signature obama and that's his signature achievement but if the president were thinking clearly he would say, you know what, we may have some things to iron out here. i still stand behind obamacare and i want the healthcare but we might have some problems here. so let's give the people an option for a year.

you don't have a mandatory. you don't have to sign up, if you want to you can. problem solved. >> by the latest count there's been something like 40 efforts in the house to get rid of obamacare or defund it and as john mccain said last week we fought a great fight. we lost that fight. the supreme court has upheld obamacare as constitutional. do you think the republicans should move on? >> no. it's a bad deal for the folks. that's absurd. >> it's the law of the land. >> they can tweak it lauer. they can tweak it and make it better. right now it's hurting the economy. doctors say they're going to quit. nobody knows what they're going to pay. here's the solution, you want to sign up, good, sign up, starting tomorrow. if you don't, we'll give you a year to shake it down. that's the solution. and the republicans would buy into that. >> taking obamacare out of this for a second and getting back to this addiction to crisis in washington, do we play into this as members of the media?

do we love a good crisis and in some ways fan the fire? some ways fan the fire? >> we have to report what's going on but the politicians use us, but i don't like to be put in with you lauer. >> sorry to do that with you. >> ted cruz is a great example. ted cruz wants to be president. so he's the first term senator from texas. how does he get well-known? he gets this. he blows it up. everybody knows his name. everybody is paying attention to him. >> we cover it. >> now he's a leader in the republican party for conservative people. people use the system and they're smart enough, cruz is a smart guy, to know how to do that. not saying he's not sincere. he is but he's certainly exploiting the situation. so there you have it. >> despite what you think it is good to have you here and you'll come back in the 8:00 half hour and we'll talk about your new book "killing jesus". >> you'll like it. >> i have liked it. >> you read it? let's get to breaking news

overnight. a deadly plane crash in california. natalie. >> thank you. the ntsb investigating the fiery crash in california after the small plane ran off the runway and slammed into a hangar. we have mike taibbi with the latest in california. good morning. >> good morning, natalie. officials still don't know how many people were on board the eight-seat cessna. they call the crash unsurvivable. >> we were playing baseball and we heard a boom. >> reporter: according to the faa, the twin engine cessna citation similar to this one took off from hailey, idaho, veered off the runway and crashed into a fire. >> the runway is not clear. we need you there immediately. >> with the flames, he felt it could have been put out with a fire extinguisher and there was

an explosion. >> reporter: firefighters battled the blaze, but unable to get to the with wreckage. >> during the collapse, the sheet metal wrapped around the plane and encasing it. to get that off will take a while. >> reporter: the flames and wreckage prevented officials on providing information on board or conditions. >> we did not see anyone get out of the airplane, unfortunately. >> reporter: this airport is located in the coastal tourist destination of santa monica. a lot of planes are owned by major figures from business and entertainment. there will be more information as the day goes on. natalie. >> mike taibbi, thanks so much. president obama will meet with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu for a meeting at the white house. the meeting is expected to focus on the future stability of the middle east, especially developments. netanyahu is expected to deliver strong words of caution in how

the u.s. deal was iran. defense secretary chuck hagel visited the zone. he is expected to talk about the american armed forces. and a stunt in china this weekend. jeb corliss in a suit flew through a gap 60 feet wide at the top and 11 feet wide at the bottom. corliss said it was ex-ill rating. it was the most spectacular and scary stunt he had ever done. at one point, he was two feet away from the wall. that is what you call cringeworthy. he deployed that chute 300 feet aboveground. >> you can make it through the 60 foot gap, but get hung up on

a walkway? >> the words he used was gnarly. >> i would have used a different word. >> not one we can say here. >> exactly. >> you have news on storms in the pacific northwest. that is right. we told you friday. it happened. take a look at the rain. the heavy floods have been going on in parts of oregon, washington state with heavy rain. it is continuing today. we are talking about massive amounts of rain, flooding and power outages and high winds. let's show you what they picked up in the pacific northwest. we are talking about record amounts of rainfall falling. you can see olympia, 8 inches of rain. astoria, 10 inches. wettest in oregon and into seattle. there is more rain on the way. you can see the heavy rain. in the mountains, the cascades we are starting to see snow as well. winter weather advisories.

wind gusts of 80 miles per hour. we are looking for another 1 to 3 inches of rain across the pacific northwest into the cascades. heavy winds and heavy rain and lots of flooding. big problems. we will get to your local weather coming up in the next 30 seconds. 7 c1lf at the corner of "a little flu shot" and "a world of difference." now through october 14th, when you get any immunization at walgreens, we'll help provide a lifesaving vaccine to a child in a developing country through the u.n. foundation's shot at life campaign. together, we can supply up to three million vaccines. it's easy to make a difference at walgreens. simply get a shot. and give a shot. at the corner of happy and healthy. good monday morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren. kind of an interesting weather day ahead. expecting a few light showers, show you the future cast. most between 9:00 and noon, that

will mostly be the case up in the north bay. by 3:00 p.m. mostly sunny skies over most of the bay area, clouds lingering hugging the coastline until about 2:00 p.m. today. 67 degrees in san francisco, 75 in fremont, 76 in san jose. and that's your latest weather, savannah. >> al, thank you so much. the former russian spy anna chapman is back in the hot seat as a host of a television show. she sat down with nbc's richard engel. good morning to you. >> good morning. this is a bit of a strange one. you remember her of course. u.s. officials accused her of being a honey trap sent to the united states to seduce powerful americans and send information back to moscow. she remains very secretive but certainly not camera shy. >> reporter: it was the biggest story of it's kind since the cold war.

ten russian spies living quietly in the united states uncovered and deported in 2010. among them, anna chapman, a sexy red head. the fbi recorded her transmitting electronic messages to russian handlers while shopping and discussing a fake passport. anna who pleaded guilty was a tabloid favorite. a real life bond girl. dubbed the spy that loved us. after revealing photographs taken by her ex-husband came out she parlayed all of the attention into a modelling career. posing for maxim magazine and walking the catwalk at moscow fashion shows and got her own tv show about alii aliens and ghos

called "mysteries of the world." chapman agreed to sit down with a rare interview with nbc news to promote her television show. >> you lived a very mysterious life. one you still don't like talking about and now you're on television. does that seem strange to you? >> i'm a very private discreet person and i still don't do many interviews because i just don't like to share. and i don't believe that people would be interested in knowing about somebody's life. >> they would be interested in knowing about your life. >> but it's still very hard for me to believe this. >> going into the interview, chapman told us she considered details of her personal life too sensitive to share and we found out how sensitive when we asked about a public marriage proposal she posted on twitter to edward snowden, the nsa programmer who escaped to russia after revealing classified details about american intelligence. >> online you recently tweeted a marriage proposal to edward snowden. >> i'm not going to discuss this. >> was it serious or a joke. >> richard. >> you can't discuss even something you tweeted online. you said, marry me, edward snowden.

>> we're going to cut this. >> you can't talk about that? >> no. >> she walked out. the girl in red. still in the spotlight, but still an enigma. >> in some ways it's ironic that chapman hosts a television show about aliens and ghosts because the fbi investigation into her sleeper cell was code named ghost stories. >> there's so much weird about this. so how long did you actually interview her before she walked out. probably five or six minutes. she didn't want to talk about her personal life or time in the united states and as soon as we started heading in that direction, the interview is over. i can't do this. i got the sense that somebody had told her don't go there. don't talk about this. >> interesting. but she was more than happy to promote the show. >> promote the show. >> i like how she said richard. >> did that work. >> it was one of the more bizarre interviews i've done.

>> like natasha from rocky and bullwinkle. >> thank you. >> let us check in with carson who is in the orange room this morning. >> good morning, everybody. how y'all doing? a couple of big things happening in the overnight we're going to talk about. first of all, the potential looming government shut down. about 800,000 to 1 million federal workers could be out of work. we're asking you at today.com would a government shutdown affect your family? yes, no, or not sure. also a ton of chatter about the "breaking bad" series finale last night. the thing about the finale is did it work, was it good? did you hate it? early results saying 80% said they loved the "breaking bad" finale which they said was perfect. we'll see how it stacked up a little bit later on. back to you. carson, thank you so much. >> straight ahead, the amanda knox murder case back in court in italy once again. her former boyfriend may go. what does he think about her not attending?

we'll ask him in an exclusive interview. then the story behind one of the most dramatic photos to emerge from the terror attack at a kenyan mall. the rescue of an american girl. her family shares their story of survival. but first, this is "today" on nbc. of an american girl. her family shares their story of survival. but fi embrace the season. warm up your home with fall's finest. share all of your favorite t.j. finds...

accomplishing even little things can become major victories. i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer. when i was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, my rheumatologist prescribed enbrel for my pain and stiffness, and to help stop joint damage. [ male announcer ] enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. you should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections,

have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. since enbrel helped relieve my joint pain, it's the little things that mean the most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine help the gulf when we made recover and learn the gulf, bp from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i can tell you - safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, where experts watch over all drilling activity twenty-four-seven.

say they arrested more than 100 people at what's described as one of the largest raves ever here in the bay area. the event was called beyond wonderland. it was a two-day festival in mountain view. this wrapped up last night. police say most of those arrested were for alcohol and drug-related charges. right thou let's take it out and get a check on the monday forecast. meteorologist christina loren here to talk about the fog and beyond. >> it is foggy out here on the golden gate bridge. good morning to you. we do have showers in the northern most portion of sonoma county. lots of fog at the immediate coast, and some mid level clouds in san jose. still going to see a pretty nice day. not expecting a lot of this front to maintain its organization as it continues to dive to the south. we get showers we're mostly expecting them between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. 79 in livermore, 76 in san jose, 67 degrees in san francisco. warming up toward the end of the

week. let's check on the morning drive. kind of busy out there. >> it's monday, we're approaching 7:30 so the south bay shows the build. this is north 101 north of 680 to 880. let's look at the maps because it's not just that section. we have the slowdown from caltal expressway to the scene. the crash is on the shoulder. the build south of the tri-valley and west for 580 is one of your funnels there. and slow from the castro valley "y." >> we'll be back in a half hour.

good morning, everyone. it's 7:30 on a monday morning, the 30th of september, 2013. there on our wall you see some of the pretty sunsets folks have sent in. if you want to send one -- >> sunrise. >> oh, yeah, sunrise. although do we accept sunsets? >> no. they have those on "nightly news" with brian williams. >> make sure they're sound. #today sunrise, not sunset. >> you can keep your sunset. >> anyway, what do we have coming up this morning? >> let's look at the stories making headlines. the clock ticking toward a midnight deadline to avoid a government shut down. this morning it looks like an agreement might not be reached in time. we'll have more on that. >> meantime, investigators are on the scene of a deadly accident at the santa monica

airport this morning, a private jet veered off a run way and into a hangar killing everyone on board. >> and more storms are targeting the northwest after a weekend of record setting rains and high winds. >> also straight ahead, a remarkable story of survival. an american mom and her five children at the mall in kenya when it was attacked are with us. >> we begin with the retrial of amanda knox and her ex-boyfriend over the killing of her british roommate. we'll talk to raffaelle sollecito this morning. first nbc's keith miller is in italy with the latest on the trial. good morning to you. >> good morning. two judges and six jurors will hear this case right from the beginning. the defendants continuing to claim their innocence and this morning, the defense team requested that the forensic evidence be reevaluated. >> reporter: this is the third time that amanda knox will face trial for murder and violent sexual assault and may not be the last.

italy's highest court ordered the appeal of knox's not guilty vert in her last trial, describing the ruling as full of deficiencies, contradictions and illogical conclusions and it called for a full review of all of the evidence. >> the question for me as an attorney is whether that evidence is now after so many years reliable. whether the chain of custody was properly preserved. >> it was almost six years agatha knox and her former boyfriend raffaelle sollecito were accused of murdering knox's roommate, meredith kercher, an exchange student from england. the brutal killing captured world headlines because knox, appealing like the all american girl was accused of participating in a drug fuelled sex game gone wrong. she was found not guilty on appeal after serving four years in prison. knox is not required to attend court and she told matt last week she can't face more time behind bars. >> i was already imprisoned as

an incident person in italy and i can't reconcile the choice to go back with that experience. it's not a possibility. it is -- it was imprisoned as an innocent person and i just can't relive that. >> reporter: the victim's family welcomes the appeal convinced, along with italy's supreme court, that the one man convicted of the crime, did not act alone. this trial could last a year, maybe more and even then the knox saga may not be over. more appeals are possible. leaving the knox case in a sort of legal ping-pong and nobody knowing when it could end -- when it will finally end, savannah. keith miller, thank you. raffaelle sollecito is with us exclusively and his u.s. attorney joins me in the studio. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. it's a pleasure to be here.

>> well, it's good to talk to you again. we have talked in the past and i just wondered, you are obviously not in italy this morning. do you plan to attend this trial. >> yes. i do. i will be back when the trial gets into the core. >> so you plan to attend and if called to testify, you would testify? >> if they ask me to testify, i will do that. it's the decision of the court for me to testify or not. i cannot make that decision by myself. >> what is it like for you to have this all starting over again? prosecutors once again standing up in court and saying that you and amanda knox had something to do with meredith kercher's murder? how does that feel? >> it seems to be pretty never ending saga of nightmare. my life is still on hold and i

cannot move on. i cannot make plans for my future. i don't see -- actually i don't see any real future for me instead of standing in the trial kind of forever. they destroyed my life once and they are still going to destroy my life in this period as well. >> amanda has told us she does not plan to go back to italy for the trial. do you agree with that decision? do you understand it? >> i understand it. and it's her decision. she's an adult. she can make the decision that she wants. >> i'm always struck raffaelle by the fact that when this all happened you had known amanda just seven days. do you ever think about that? reflect on it? and frankly do you wish you had

never crossed paths with her? >> no, actually, as i told many other times, i never regret it because it's not her fault what is happening. what is happening, it's a big, huge mistake against two human beings. we are innocent and we are fighting for our innocence. it's not our fault to be in this situation. actually, i don't regret to have met her because she had nothing to do with all of this tragedy and me neither. >> before i let you go, raffaelle, do you fear that you will be sent back to jail? >> well, i don't know what to expect, actually. i still live in a nightmare. they put me in jail again, even

if i'm outside, they still hold me in jail because actually i can't think about anything else but this trial. >> well, raffaelle sollecito we will continue to watch it. as i turn to your lawyer here, john, what happens next? no matter what this court decides, is that it? is it over? >> you're not going to see any finality here. it's going to go back up to the supreme court again and probably back down again too. it's going to be a never-ending nightmare. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. we'll take a turn now and get a check of the weather from al. >> savannah, thank you. we have been talking about all the rain in the pacific northwest and it's still coming down. it has been raining quite a bit the last week down in southern florida but the good news is as you look, you can see a gorgeous sunrise and send your pictures, your sunrise pictures in, #todaysunrise. beautiful here in the northeast. week ahead, here's what we're looking for. more windy wet weather, snowy weather and above normal

and we're back with new details on the deadly attack at a crowded shopping mall in nairobi kenya. more than a week later, new images obtained by nbc news revealed the aftermath of the four day siege. one of the most striking photos shows a 4-year-old american girl being rescued. she was at the mall with her mom catherine walton and her four other siblings. they're with us along with catherine's husband phillip. good morning to all of you. >> good morning. >> catherine, i want to start with you. i was reading about your experience last night and what struck me, what jumped out at me is the fact that you were at the mall with five children yet you were separated from two children. you had your three girl with you. your two sons were in another

part of the mall. that had to add a layer of horror to the experience. >> it was pretty stressful but i didn't realize it. i thought my boys were already able to get out, but they weren't. it wasn't until after i was rescued that i realized they had been in there the entire time with me. >> where exactly were you catherine when the shooting started? were you in the open or in a store? describe your surroundings. >> i was standing out in front of the store and i was going to wait for my boys there and when the shooting broke out i ran and dove behind the little advertisement booth that they had there in front of the store. >> and you waiting there -- by the way, you were in the mall for four hours. your girls were understandably very scared and upset. they were crying. in addition to figure out a way out, you had to try and keep those girls calm.

>> you know, they cried initially, just at the very beginning and then after that they got very quite and they laid very still and they almost like they went to sleep the entire time and it wasn't until they threw the tear gas in that they perked up a little bit and started complaining about the smell. >> catherine, when did you finally get reunited with your sons? >> when i got out, as soon as i got out, my pastor was there to greet me and he was able to tell me that my boys were out and my husband's business partner was there as well and they scooped us all up and took us to a friend's house and we were able to be reunited there with my boys. >> phillip, all this time you knew your family was in that mall, you were not in the mall. can you describe what you were going through emotionally knowing that this was unfolding? >> no, i was traveling in the u.s. i was in north carolina in a hotel room. i was trying to follow news reports as they came in.

i had a close friend that was keeping me updated via facebook and it was -- you just feel very helpless when you're 9,000 miles away and your entire family is going through something like this. >> catherine, we always hear stories of people that run toward the danger, not away from it. of people that do their best to help out, total strangers, you had a situation like that, didn't you. >> i sure did. abdul haji and a group of just regular men with some plain clothes police officers, they risked their lives. they came in and rescued us. it wasn't just me. they went through the mall floor by floor, shop by shop and got so many people out of the mall. >> you had a chance to thank him i understand? >> i did. we got to meet him last night and it was such a wo him i understand? >> i did. we got to meet him last night and it was such a wonderful reunion. >> we're glad you're all safe

>> today is my 30th birthday and i want to meet savannah. >> we're back now at 8:00 on this monday morning. big crowd gathered in our plaza this morning. i'm wondering, as i stand here with savannah guthrie, carson daly and al roker, how many of these people were up last night watching the series finale of "breaking bad." show of hands here? >> did you watch "breaking bad" last night? >> no spoiler alert. >> what happens is -- >> no! >> no, no. i would never do that. >> i didn't want to see it and i don't want to know. i'll probably take another year to catch up on episodes. >> what are you on, season two? >> people loved it. >> the hardcore fans were totally into the finale they said it was great. >> when was the last time a finale got this response from

paychecks could be jeopardized and some federal agencies will feel the impact more acutely than others. the military will continue to operate, but instead of paychecks those in uniforms could get ious to collect pay at a later date. that could change if congress elects to pay the military, still, civilian employees could be furloughed. the fbi, dea, and federal courts will operate normally for a time but if the shutdown is longer than two weeks the courts would run out of reserve funds. since postal service operates an an independent agency, the mail will keep coming through snow, wind, heat, even a government shutdown. most homeland security operations will continue, but the fda would be unable to keep up most of its food safety oversight. hud would be shut down, same

with the department of interior, which means the national parks would close. and if you're coming to washington, the smithsonian museums and the zoo would be closed. the department of labor, energy, commerce and epa will shut down. some irs functions would cease but social security checks would still go out and veterans could see their benefits effected but medical services should continue. one more irony here is that the neufeld health care law, obama care, which is what all of this is about, will continue to be implemented, because those funds are not dependent on the congressional budget process. and the shutdown -- the longer the shutdown, the longer people go without paychecks, the greater the impact on the economy. natalie? >> tom costello in washington. thank you so much, tom. the pacific northwest is reeling from fierce winds and rainfall. miguel almaguer is in seattle where the stormy weather isn't over there yet. miguel, good morning. >> natalie, good morning. this area has been hit with a

it ended last night a week after winning the best drama emmy. was the time right? here's jason kennedy. >> it's over and i needed a proper good-bye. >> reporter: it was the final chapter in walter white's dark journey from high school teacher. >> it's growth and then decay and then transformation. >> reporter: and beyond. a show that ended while still at the top of it's game. >> i'm in the empire business. >> reporter: which sets it apart from many other series finales and in the minds of critics like brett martin. >> two things happen. they either disappear completely or they're meant to go on forever because once it's making money you try to extend the story as long as it goes and it's rare that you get, you know, the kind of cultural event we have been seeing lately. >> reporter: other series have disappointed fans in later seasons by jumping the shark or

going out with forgettable endings like sienfeld, lost. like bob newhart waking up or tony soprano cutting to black. >> does it live up to the hype. the soprano finale which i happen to love, to this day, every single day, someone is asking me about it. >> a conversation we viewers don't want to end just because the show did. >> you invested in these shows for years. you invested in these characters and you're invested in these shows and you really don't know what you want to happen but you want something great to happen at the end. >> the end of "breaking bad" means he cooked his last batch of blue crystal but like bob, tony, jerry, and so many others before him, his legacy will be with us for many, many years to come. >> that's right.

now, say my name. >> reporter: in los angeles, i'm jason kennedy for today. >> pretty amazing. >> people online say fans of the show, over 80% which is so rare for these series finales said they not just liked it, they loved it. >> they tied it up with a bow and a bang. let's go to matt with bill o'reilly. >> he shared his thoughts on what's going on in washington earlier and now he has come back to talk about his new book. this one is called "killing jesus." already it's climbing to the best sellers list and way up on that list. good morning again. good to see you. were you dying to tell the story of jesus or are you looking at a list of controversial figures and checking them off. lincoln, kennedy, jesus? >> after kennedy we didn't know what we were going to do and i was batting around a few ideas of people i think we need to get into the center of it and one night i woke up, 3:00 in the

morning, and this always happens to me and bang, "killing jesus." whenever i get a thought like that i take it seriously so we got it in motion. >> one of the reviews says the gospel according to o'reilly. give me a sense of what you were trying to do here. were you trying to create a historic reference or were you spinning a yard here or somewhere in between. >> there's no yarn. we back it up pretty thoroughly. some of it is startling because it's not the traditional what you know about jesus. >> millions of catholics grew up hearing that jesus died for our sins. one of the other reviews i read about this book says according to your take jesus died for taxes. so you fill in the blank. what's the headline? >> the headline is jesus died for money. the romans killed him for money. however, if you're a believer and believe jesus is god, he died for your since. that's what the old testament

pr proficies but the scripture is different. here's what jesus of nazareth did to tee them off. he interrupted the tax flow because the romans were taxing the folks by making them buy -- they had to buy lambs for the pa passover. there was a tax on it. you couldn't buy it unless there was a certain currency and when jesus went into the temple and overthrew the tables that's when his death sentence was proclaimed. >> any time you write a book like this people will take shots at the way you tell the stories. but i read the book also and i think this was an oversimplification. a criticism is you don't spend enough time talking about jesus and preaching that dealing with

the poor and sharing with the underprivileged was the principle theme he lived by. >> i'm getting attacked by the antichristian people. they said because i was inspired i believe by the holy spirit to do all my work, not just this, they mock if he more that. the left wing blogs want me to bring obamacare into killing jesus. that's what they want me to do and the evangelicals say i'm going to hell because i don't say jesus on every page. >> what was your up bringing? >> my parents weren't fanatics. irish catholic background. >> catholic school. >> i was an altar boy but for money. >> so your view is different than what you thought as a kid,

how. >> i did it for money because you get paid for weddings when you're an altar boy. the big headline for me in "killing jesus" is jesus of nazareth is the most famous person that's ever lived. no structure, no country, no money, nothing. how does that happen? how does that happen? so something had to be going on with him, so that you have to consider. >> and strategically have you messed up here? after lincoln and kennedy you go right to the top of the list? how do you take a step back for your next book? i would have thought this would have been your tenth book. >> well, i'm getting up there in age. >> don't know how many books you have left in you. >> nec book is a big world war ii book which is going to be stunning because we're writing it now and the research -- everybody has this image. this is what happened but that's not what happened and that's my job is to tell you what really happened. >> we'll expect you back for that one. >> you liked the book. >> i did. all three now.

i read three for three. >> i appreciate that matt. >> good to see you. it's a pleasure. >> we'll go over to savannah. >> thank you so much. now to a milestone in the live of the duke and duchess of cambridge, they're preparing to move into their palace. michelle kosinski is at the other palace, buckingham, good morning to you. >> hey, savannah. kate became a duchess and princess when she married william and now she gets the palace. insiders think it will be this week that the royal couple and baby move out of their cottage at kensington and into their grand apartment. >> reporter: it is called simply apartment 1-a but a palace in every sense. 20 rooms including receptions, staff quarters, nursery, private walled gardens and is likely to be furnished with antiques from the priceless royal collection. meredith got a look at the century's old inner sanctum

years ago. >> kate has been overseeing the whole plan. she has been in charge of the decor and picking the curtains and the carpet. >> it's taken a long time and reportedly more than $2 million, much of it taxpayer money, to renovate what was once princess margaret's home. that meant installing a new kitchen, all sure to be in perfect shape for the family in the same palace where william and harry grew up and were frequently naughty and shared happy memories. >> my room was right next door to the nursery. it was a very happy atmosphere t in the nursery and william will want to replicate that atmosphere where ever possible with his children. it will be fantastic. >> yeah, kind of like you guys turned studio 1-a into a palace. but also this month is the christening of baby prince george in the same place where

queen elizabeth i prayed before battling the spanish armada and where princess diana's body lay for a week after she died. and they think there will be a tribute to diana during the christening. >> all right. michelle could s michelle thank you so much. we have steals and deals discounts for our viewers. clothes and lipstick. jill martin not part of the deal there but she'll tell us about the deal. >> maybe. >> then daniel radcliffe on the in

>> it's an overload. we're inundated with information. how do we filter it? >> people have to be skeptical. when they watch tv commercials or see an ad, they know they're being sold something. they should raise their level of skepticism. we should be wondering. we're bombarded and we should raise our level of skepticism. >> there are times when people are trying to fool you. let's set that aside. let's take a look at breaking news. information coming at us, when i say us, members of the media, fast and furious we're trying to give that information out. what's your best advice for the consumer? >> sometimes turn it off, if you see the people on tv are speculating, they don't know what's going on, look, the navy yard we thought at some point there might have been an extra shooter. very scary. wasn't true. in boston we thought there might have been extra explosive devices. wasn't true. we got that from the media. we have to calm down. journalists can't be thinking, oh, i have to beat the other network by ten seconds.

it doesn't matter. >> as a consumer you have to say let me consider my source. you have to trust the source. >> yes. >> even trusted sources make mistakes. >> in breaking situations they're not getting the right information. the worst hoax was really scary was the 1996 olympic bombing, and the guy was a hero, actually, the security guard who found the pipe bomb and helped save lives. nbc and others reported that he was a suspect and that wasn't true. >> remember when president obama took the oath of office that he swore on a koran. it turned out obviously not true. >> that was a -- that was a viral e-mail. >> right. that went everywhere that he was a radical muslim who won't pray on the bible, won't take the oath. there were no links. that came out in 2007-'08. no links, no sources, no dates, no photographs. there were triple exclamation points in that hoax. all capital letters in a lot of

the words. the same thing with the famous clothing designers. eventually a racist. same thing. there were no links. there were no sources and all the exclamation points. i think people are learning to be internet literate, that if they see these things that are anonymous and have strong accusations with no links or sources, don't trust them. >> that's what we're going to be talking about this week, jeff. >> thank you. >> all week long we'll give you more information as we dive deeper into this special series called "fact or fiction." each day we'll bring you two stories, one will be totally true, one will be totally fiction. we'll try to figure out which is which. that's all this week on "today." >> savannah? >> here to walk us through the bargainings, jill martin, "today" contributor. remind us how this works in case people are catching up. >> hi, everybody. i know everybody has been waiting for this. here we are going to today.com.

back at 8:47. if you hear the name daniel radcliffe and think only harry potter, you have to think again. the 24-year-old is busy in the theater and the movies. three films coming out and another in production right now. you made time for me. good to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> we're talking about kill your darlings this morning. it's set in the time of the great beat poets. was it fun to imagine that time? >> it was. that's what shooting a period film of that era in new york is an excuse to walk around in incredibly cool clothes. that's one of the things we discovered about the beat generation is that everything they -- that style has now become cool again. >> did you pay attention in english class? did you have to go back -- >> they're not taught as much in england in schools but i read

him when i was 17 as everyone does and has that connection with it and my first reaction was the same as a lot of peoples, what the hell but after doing the film and learning more about his life his poetry made more sense to me. >> one of the things getting headlines is for better for worse is you're in a gay love scene in this movie. are you surprised? >> i would be a very stupid person if i didn't expect some reaction to that. in a way there's been less reaction to it than i thought there would be. a lot of people are choosing to focus on the film and i don't mind what reasons people go in to see the film if ultimately they're going to go in and see a compelling drama. so i don't really mind. >> you can't do an interview without somebody bringing up that other film. >> everyone says it like that. like i don't want it to be mentioned. >> they feel bad. but do you actively seek out

roles now or have you when you first left that franchise that were kind of unharry? to stretch your wings a little bit? >> yeah but at the same time i don't know what i could have done that would have been similar to harry? that's why i signed up immediately for another young adult series. i don't know what i could have done but now i think the thing is it's not just to -- i don't want to just not repeat harry potter but i don't want to repeat the woman in black or now killing darlings. any actor that wants to have a long career realizes that the key is, you know, versatility and stretching yourself and it's for fun to be honested. >> you have been praised for the choices you have made but i was struck by the mob scene that follows you everywhere you go. you were at the venice film festival. did the building really shake because of all the fans? >> well, the building was a temporary structure. it was an easier building to shake than most are but yeah,

and also we had never done any potter publicity over there through the ten years so it was like ten years of pent up -- >> excitement. >> excitement but it was great. they're a passionate people. there was a lot of crying. which i always find tricky to deal with. >> happy tears we hope. >> we hope. >> daniel radcliffe it's good to see you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. coming up next, the sweet business in chicago changing lives.

today's american story comes from chicago where a big city bee farm is all the, pardon me, buzz. >> good morning, on chicago's west side nine of ten young adults are out of work but that quirky bee business is a beacon for change. >> reporter: planes aren't the only thing taking off at chicago's o'hare airport. down at the end of the runway, a newbie farm is soaring. big named stores are slurping up all the honey it can produce. even celebrity chef rick baliss features the nectar in some of

his restaurants. >> i don't know, if that a type of honey? i don't know. but when you taste the honey, it's beautiful. >> reporter: in many ways. during the recession while other companies were laying off sweet beginnings created 360 new jobs in a neighborhood where crime is rarely more than a street corner away. 80% of the men have been in jail. thad smith, a combat marine in the first gulf war is homeless. >> i'm competing against people that are younger than me with better skills and no criminal background. >> reporter: he got out of prison for writing bad checks. brenda is the queen bee of this $300,000 a year business. >> what did you know about honey? except for what you put on a biscuit? >> i knew nothing about honey.

>> reporter: so she sweet talked john hansen into teaching them how. the 83-year-old is a former president of the illinois beekeepers association. >> why do you think ex-cons do so well in the bee business when they have been so challenged. >> it's a type of work passed on by story telling. >> reporter: they learn by doing. do it right or -- >> anybody get stung yet. >> reporter: lesson number two, you can't con a bee. >> no, you don't. the bee is boss. >> reporter: study them and they can show you how to succeed in the competitive world. >> thousands of bees working for one single point. >> reporter: make something good and sweet. for most, this is not a career. they work with bees just 2 1/2 months but apparently it makes a big difference.

nationwide, six out of ten convicts go back to prison, the ones that buzz through here, fewer than 4%. sweet beginnings gave james white more to talk about than his jail time. >> i learned how to be successful. >> reporter: when he went looking for his next job, shelton johnson hired him on the spot. >> he even mentored me sometimes, you know? tell me how i can run my company more efficient. >> reporter: pollinate is a word that brenda likes to throw around when talking about her work. she pollinates jobs for recently released inmates. faith among the people that take a chance on hiring them and new hope in north lawndale. all this grew from an overgrown field at the end of a run way. >> these are weeds, not flowers. >> bees don't distinguish between what we see as a flower or weed.

they're just interested in collecting the good stuff. >> reporter: after all, a weed is just a flower in a place you don't want it. sweet beginnings started with a grant from the illinois corrections department seven years ago. >> it's customary by the way, to bring some of the product. >> i did but a fremont man is a lot richer. the 34-year-old won more than $31 million with a lucky for life scratch ticket. let's get a full look at the

forecast right now with meteorologist christina loren. >> good morning. doing pretty good for a monday. expecting temperatures to warm up into the upper 70s inland. mid-70s bayside. around 66 degrees at the coast today. getting a few showers as well in the north bay as we head through the next few hours. should see a great amount of clearing by noon today. warmup later this week.

>> announcer: from nbc news, this is today's take with al roker, natalie morales, and willie geist. live from studio 1-a in rockefeller plaza. >> welcome back to "today" on this monday morning. i'm willie geist with al roker, natalie morales, brooke shields back in the house with us. >> usually you're in for me. >> just keeping the seat warm for you. >> there as a party when you walked in not only because you hadn't met before but because you're wearing -- >> the bottom half of my dress and the whole part of your dress. >> made to look like snake but it's not. >> want to be clear. >> not real snake.

>> no. >> so the thing everybody is talking about this morning is the "breaking bad" finale. how many of us saw it? >> i couldn't wait. >> there's low risk of a spoiler alert because only brooke saw the finale. >> so our viewers that haven't seen it yet. >> it's too late. everybody's going to know. >> don't give away too much. but did it live up to your expectations? >> it was beyond. part of me likes happy endings and in this weird sort of breaking bad world it was a happy ending and he says i'm never going to tell me -- and then at the final moment -- >> hey, hey, hey -- >> everybody has seen it. >> nobody has seen it. >> i was happy with the end. >> how many of you were like me yesterday downloading season one, two, three, four? >> a lot of catch up. >> i'm so behind. i have fomo. fear of missing out. >> even if you're not watching

it and everybody is talking about it you're thinking there's something wrong with me. i've got to know. i've got to know. >> i have had the seasons for the last four years. and i cannot get through the first season. it is so intense. some shows you can binge watch. i cannot binge watch that show. >> no, you need a little alcohol. >> oh. >> that's the problem. >> suddenly susan in like 1999 this kid, we were doing a tribute episode to one of our cast members that had passed away and we did a tribute episode to him and we hired a bunch of kids and it's a day in his life and you see how he touched people's lives and there's one kid and it was aaron paul and he was a broading actor and i thought this kid is so unhappy on a sitcom. he's either a serious actor or he's going to have a bad attitude and nobody is going to want to hire him. thank god it was the other.

but it's so interesting to watch. he is an actor that wanted that depth and intensity. i don't know how any of them survived this show. >> look at brian cranston. he was on malcolm in the middle. blowing everybody away. no pun intended. >> and the attention to detail like i said last week is they're all working so hard together and they have -- when you really watch it and get a chance to watch it, you get a little desensitized to the blood and gore but it brilliantly crafted. >> if i'm hung over tomorrow it's because i'm binge watching and binge drinking. >> now you have an excuse. >> part of my master plan. >> brooke told me to do it. >> contract that with the finale of the sopranos which a lot of people weren't happy about or newhart. >> that was spectacular. that one and mary tyler moore. >> the more the sopranos

marinated people liked it. >> i don't think so. people were still upset. >> they were confused by it and the more you thought about it you thought it was brilliant. >> people thought their tvs went out. >> you have to fill in your own ending. >> what do you think happened? >> i think it just goes on. i don't think anything happens. >> yeah. >> the waiting for it and it never happens. >> it's that anticipation is what they wanted to create. that must be what it's like to live their lives. >> somebody coming in the door could be death. your waiter, your waitress. >> still that whole ending just still, in my mind, i can't -- >> you don't like it? >> i don't like it. it makes me angry. >> you have unresolved issues. >> i think you'll love the end of breaking bad because i feel the same way about wanting it in a neat package. >> i like to know how things end. >> see. >> by the way, i want to throw

in a little plug, "the blacklist" on nbc. >> blew me away. >> spectacular. it's like homeland meets silence of the lamb. instead of eating people he's eating the scenery. he is spectacular. >> i can't believe this is on network tv. it's intense and violent and this relationship. it's like silence of the lambs. >> more tv to watch. >> more alcohol. >> anything else? homeland to catch up on too. >> natalie is going to be drunk forever. >> homeland last night. >> i love fall tv, though. so good. >> snl. >> snl. >> remember when you got the fall edition of the tv guide. >> vaguely. >> i remember it, al. >> he was ten years old. >> i was on the cover. >> oh. >> you get that premiere week edition of the tv guide and i was such a nerd.

i would literally get two copies, one to save and one to go through. look at what's coming -- >> you would save them? what would you save them for? >> he really did read it for the articles. >> i was on the cover of the v guide that george -- >> true story? >> in the sinefeld episode i'm on. >> really? >> he says al roker, same thing. >> okay. well, you brought it up. were you happy with that finale because a lot of people weren't? >> i can't even remember it. >> in jail. >> it is a metaphor. it's a metaphor. >> really? i don't do metaphors. >> no. >> you liked the soprano's ending. that was a total metaphor. >> it was open ended. >> we mentioned snl. they had a big night. >> yes, they did. >> tina fey was great.

>> she played that girl. >> you dress like baby. >> stop talking. stop talking or they will drown you in the river. >> i must eat the doughnut from your head. >> you do that well. >> i loved it. >> you are fat. you are baby fat. >> that downturned mouth. >> big moment at the weekend update desk. the passing of the torch. she could take over on her own. let's see how she did. >> would you mind if i just gave you a couple of pieces of advice, though. >> i would love it. >> here's what it is. keep your head down you do your time. on the first day you go up to the biggest guy in the yard and punch him in the face. don't mess with texas. keep your feet on the ground, keep, reaching for the stars, believe in your nightmares. see this man here? this man don't own you. you do you.

back now with more of today's take. this is a pretty incredible story out of florida. there's a goodwill store there dropping grand theft charges against a teenage employee who gave discounts to the poorest customers. this decision came four days after the store fired this kid, 19 years old and had him arrested and put in jail briefly before he posted bond. >> that's crazy. >> for granting discounts to people that totalled $4,000 overtime. >> at the goodwill. >> the name of your store is goodwill. >> right. >> he was interviewed and he said he didn't think what he was doing was illegal. he thought his actions mirrored the intent of goodwill. >> was he a volunteer? >> that's a good question. >> because, you know, could he have said he parlayed his salary into the discounts?

>> not $4,000 worth of discounts. >> they dropped the charges. >> they dropped the charges but they threw him in jail. i mean, they did put out a statement saying after completing our internal investigation determined that the individuals actions were not for personal gain but rather for the benefit of others. >> maybe they could have done the investigation first before firing the kid. >> yeah. >> and let's face it, it's not like you're giving away cars. >> goodwill is the stuff that everybody is giving away to charity. >> and he just discounted it. so he was still charging per item but cutting it in half. >> probably on a need basis too. >> because at goodwill it's an arbitrary -- you give them something and whether it's a fancy thing or a old doll, they get to decide the price of it so that's also another piece of information because who is really to say what the value is. >> right. >> so you know what i mean --

>> it's one thing if he's taking money out of the register. i guess that, but in their view he was, in a way, taking money out of the register. >> but he wasn't benefitting from it. >> right. >> finally came to the right decision. >> but he still lost his job over it. >> well, him losing his job is okay. i think kids can't do that but to throw him in jail. >> too much. >> i think he was a good hearted kid that was just hoping to help others who were really in need. >> yeah. >> so we're all married at this table. there's a little something called the 5 year itch. >> not the seven? >> it's a study. got it from australia. >> or england or something. >> this is according to a study of 2,000 married adults. >> where's this study from? >> the u.k. >> do we do not studies in this country anymore? >> we have to get a u.k. study? >> i swore i wouldn't make it past the second year. i was like i get a 2nd year itch

travellers with carry ones that have no chance in fitting in the overhead compartment. >> oh, it will fit. >> before we continue we would like to announce this is an overbooked flight. if anyone is willing to give up their seats in exchange for the first available flight tomorrow, please approach the desk and explain why your life style permits this. people who clap when the plane has landed. we will not board you because what you do is stupid. >> see, i like the clap when the plane hands. >> you're just so happy you're alive or what? oh, thank god. >> was it that bad a flight? >> when you fly to foreign countries, you don't see it as much. >> there's a lot of turbulence and you land. >> that's a different story. >> or if there's like a crying kid, oh, thank god, we're done. >> if you could leave tomorrow. if i could leave tomorrow, i would leave tomorrow.

i'm leaving today. that's why i'm here. it's like that old delta slogan, delta gets you there. well, that's what paying you for. >> that's the idea. >> do you want to get to weather mr. roker. >> okay. >> they're all pointing and saying, go, go, go because the band needs to rehearse. >> they can do it during weather. a little music. all right. let's show you what we've got for today. sunshine up and down -- play, people, play. wet weather in the pacific northwest. then tomorrow, again, east coast looking great. gorgeous weather. gulf coast on the wet side. look for cascade mountain snows in the pacific northwest. sunny and hot from texas into 9:32 on a back to work, back to business monday. we've got quite a bit of fog, even some drizzle at the immediate coast. this is the golden gate bridge. not a lot of traffic here, but we have some traffic problems up

in the sky. one-hour flight delays due to the thick low ceilings out of sfo. that'll likely be the case at least until 10:00 a.m. after that, though, we should start to see clearing skies. san francisco today, 68 degrees. 75 in san jose. looking nice and steady through tomorrow and then we climb and bring in wind for the end of the week. that's your latest weather. >> think you're doing enough to keep your home and your family safe and secure? an alarm system locks maybe a good start but not enough to prevent thieves from entering your house. >> so we sent a security expert to a home in new jersey to reveal some of the most common mistakes we homeowners make. >> how are you? >> good, thank you. >> i live here with my wife and two kids. been here since 2007. >> so i understand we're going to try to find some ways to make your home more secure? let's take a walk around the

back. >> here in this crawl space underneath the patio we have a great opportunity for a burglar to crawl in and start trying to break into the window and the basement. first put a door here to make it hard to break in. >> this is a sliding glass door just like many people have in their homes. these doors are always very difficult to secure. so here, even though the door is locked, it's very easy to force open. one thing you can do is to buy a quarter-inch wood dowel to go in here and once it's there it's impossible to open this door. >> you have dead bolt locks which is great but it needs a secure place within the door frame. that area is too small. make sure you have a metal receiver for the lock and that that is secured by three-inch screws. >> burglars hate light. it would be a good idea to install a security light. there's a lot of homes a burglar can break into. your job is to make your home

appear more difficult than the person next door and you achieved your aim. >> good morning. >> good morning thank you for having me. >> let's start with deturants. >> you should discourage people from doing things they shouldn't and get his attention elsewherement the last thing you want to do is encounter a homeowner while committing a burglarly. >> let's explain what this does. >> this say fake tv. it's a light emitting device and it gives the impression, through the window, that someone is actually watching television. if you're to connect this to a timer to turn it on and off while you're away, someone who is casing your house will hopefully go next door. >> if you're away on vacation, this is a good thing to do and it's cheap. it's less than $10 and it's from

smart home.com and other places on the internet. >> next product is a magnetic alarm. how does this work? >> it's in the area of deturrants. you can purchase these very small battery operated alarms. one goes to the side of the window or door and when they're open they make this loud noise. the other great thing is you can bring this when you're traveling. so it's also very helpful to improve security there. >> a good idea. >> dead bolts. we talked about that. >> sure, at inside security we deal with security for estates and large homes and we're dealing with the access control issue. we use fingerprint technology, key cards and sometimes access codes. that technology is now available to homeowner who is are able to buy electronic deadbolts that use a pin code to get in which is terrific because you don't have to carry a key or hide a

key outside which the burglars can always find but if you're granting access to a dog walker and suddenly they're not employed by you anymore you can remove their code. >> so they don't have access anymore. quickly, over here, a lot of break ins are based on forced entry. what are ways to prevent that. >> people will find the weakest point of a door. it's also worth while to focus on the screws and the hinges. so what we have there are three inch screws which will anchor the door into the door frame and make it hard to break in. >> good to have network cameras or cameras installed that can actually -- you can identify a thief. >> cameras are another issue because we're dealing with how do we take cameras and instead of recording a burglar how do we use them to stop crime in progress. there's some internet cameras available now which are easy to set up. not only will they record the identity of who the thief is making it easier to find your stuff but also they can send you e-mails when there's activity in

your house. >> if you check it look and see somebody in my house who shouldn't be, you can call the police and catch them in the act. >> thank you so much. we'll have more information on our website. >> coming up next, grab the apples you picked over the weekend. al and brooke will show us how to bake u delicious deserts. that's coming up right after this. 6 children, 44 years... it's been a happy union. he does laundry, and i do the cleaning. there's only two of us... how much dirt can we manufacture? more than you think. very little.
