stay wednesday, march 18, 2015. >> announcer: from nbc news this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning everyone. welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning. >> you may be enjoying your coffee. if you like to get it from starbucks you might be interested in this. they are causing a stir on line. there is a new campaign the coffee giant offering something extra with your latte. it's definitely stirring controversy. >> people weighing in on both sides, good and the bad. we'll tell you more about that later on. let's get to the top story on a wednesday morning. the phone calls to the u.s. embassy in japan threatening to kill caroline kennedy. katy tur has the latest on this. officials are not taking this lightly. >> not at all. the calls reportedly came in

from somebody speaking english. caroline kennedy, daughter of jfk, assumed the post in 2013. she is obviously a very high profile figure over there. and with the violent attack on another u.s. ambassador this month, police are investigating just how serious this threat might be. all seemed normal with ambassador caroline kennedy today. she gave a lecture in tokyo. the associated press reports japanese police are investigating death threats against her. japanese media say the calls were made to the u.s. embassy and came from somebody speaking english. they are looking into the possibility the person might be trying to blackmail tl 57-year-old mother and diplomat. the u.s. embassy did not have a comment but threats like this against u.s. politicians and diplomats are not uncommon. >> i'm bleeding. >> the reports come on the heels of the attack on u.s. ambassador mark lippert in south korea

earlier this month. a kreen national testified he knifed lippert because of his symbolic representation of the united states. kennedy has been the ambassador to japan for just over a year. the associated press reports tlorts believe the threats made to her are similar to ones targeting the u.s. concull general in okinawa home to 50,000 u.s. troops. michelle obama who landed in tokyo this the morning. the first lady is kick off her educational tour promoting schooling for girls. other than the suspected blackmailing no other motive is known. any one who follows international and domestic policies knows that unfortunately these threats are not uncommon, but matt and savannah, given the attack on mark lippert who we should say was okay, these threats potential growing anti-americanism are looked at closely. >> government's full attention. katy tur, thank you.

>> another threat closer to home investigated by the secret service, an envelope sent to the white house that is tested positive for cyanide. kristin, what are you hearing? >> according to a spokesperson with the secret service, officials at the white house mail screening facility which is located in the washington, d.c. area, received an envelope on monday that was suspicious. initial tests showed that it was negative for toxic chemicals. on tuesday, that chemical testing returned a presumptive positive for cyanide. he said the envelope has been sent to another facility for more testing and there is an investigation. this was first report bid the online publication the intercept which said that the envelope can be traced to a man who has a record with the secret service dating all the way back to 1995. and who sent multiple suspicious and disturbing packages over the year. this as the secret service is

under 2350ir after two agents allegedly drove on the white house complex while inebriated. secret service director joseph clancey was on capitol hill yesterday and told lawmakers it took him five days to learn about that incident and it was anonymous source who informed him. he faces more hearings and outrage from both sides of the aisle. back to you. >> kristen welker, thank you. >> another story in washington also around the world today resounding victory for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. in his country's closely watched election. so, what does it mean for the u.s. and president obama? andrea mitchell nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent in tel aviv. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. netanyahu not only won, won big. the opposition leader conceded this morning. instead of a tie that might have

forced netanyahu to moderate his assistances he has a clear sailing to form a government. what does that mean. in the closing days of the campaign he came out against the creation of a palestinian state. the celebration last night was raucous in his headquarters even before the votes were counted. they know what this means. he is against a palestinian state, a clear reversal of decades of israeli commitments to the u.s. including netanyahu's own commitment to president obama. this also means that the relationship with the president, president obama, is going to be more poisonous because on election day netanyahu appealed to his voters to come out saying that the arab israelis were coming out and said that foreign money from the u.s., from the state department, was financing his opposition, that's only going to make it even harder to get along with president obama. it also vindicates republican congressional leaders inviting him to congress. this is going to be a big issue

for 2016 candidate notably hillary clinton. it has a big effect on america. >> andrea mitchell, we talked about a couple weeks ago when prime minister netanyahu spoke to congress that the relationship between the president and the prime minister was at an all-time low. >> now they are stuck with each other a couple years. new developments in a case, the robert durst murder investigation. police searched his home and he was moved from jail to secure medical facility. stephanie gosk is covering this investigation. what have you learned? >> reporter: good morning. well, you know, the defense team fought this transfer, this facility is 60 miles outside of new orleans. they say they need to be closer to discuss the case. they say he's not suffering from any kind of acute medical or mental condition. meanwhile, investigators in houston are looking for new evidence against him. plain clothes officers including

investigators from los angeles searched robert durst' home late tuesday. not long after the real estate heir was seen leaving a court house with a grin on his face. durst defense lawyers say they will use a bond hearing to challenge new gun charges and the original arrest warrant for capital murder. durst denies killing his friend susan berman 15 years ago. >> my concern is that the warrant that was issued in california was issued because of a television show, and not because of facts. >> reporter: the television show "the jinx" generated enormous attention after its dramatic conclusion sunday. durst mumbling to himself in the bathroom. >> killed them all. of course. >> reporter: likely referring to the deaths of his first wife, his neighbor, and berman. authorities in l.a. say the series did not dictate their investigation. >> it's a unique set of circumstances but our case is independent of the documentary, our case will stand on its own.

>> reporter: some legal experts believe the prosecution has their work cut out for them. >> we've got to see all of the evidence, see how it connects, what significance to give certain pieces of evidence and what insignificance to give others. this a long way from resolution. >> reporter: one of susan's friends says she believes that durst may be responsible for his own undoing. >> i do believe that bobby is a very smart manipulative human. i don't know that he has outsmarted things. he might have been bitten by his own bite. >> reporter: durst was never charged in the disappearance of his wife and acquitted in the murder of his neighbor. his lawyers say they are eager to defend his innocence in california, but they are stuck right now in new orleans. >> thanks so much. >> natalie is on assignment and then we've got tamron here with a surprising story behind a terror arrest.

court records claim pugh's lap top was packed with nearly 200 propaganda videos and those disturbing videos of isis mass executions. >> even after having discharged so many years ago this is someone who they really want to put in front of a camera, someone they want to put out there and declare his loyalty to isis. >> reporter: born and raised in the u.s. pugh was an airplane mechanic from 1986-1990. to new york congressman peter king, that makes the alleged crime all the worse. >> also all the more disconcerting when you find out that if these charges are true that you have a person who is in the military ends up being a traitor to his country. >> reporter: on his lap tops they found a letter which pugh says there are two only outcomes for me, victory or martyr. he obviously never considered the third outcome, custody in the u.s. >> thank you very much, jim.

enough, but there people sharing the road with us right now who have five duis, 10 or 15 to 20 convictions. this morning you are about to see what happens when they get back behind the wheel. under the influence and out of control. drunk drivers smashing into traffic. their cars flying into the air. this drunk driver hit speeds over 100 miles per hour trying to evade police before this crash. it was his third dui. watch as this repeat drunk driver drags an officer down the street when she tries to escape her third dui. the officer broke his arm and she pled not guilty. the consequences could be tragic. >> they turn the roads into a russian roulette. it's a death game. >> ellie was driving to the gym one morning when this drunk
