rain and flooding. al roker is here. >> it's a dangerous changeable situation. let's look at yesterday. this is from la beck county, kansas, this tornado not hitting the ground but it shows you just the power of this system and what is the shape of things to come. we go to louisville where our danger spot is now. louisville, kentucky, we have massive flooding. there are high water rescues, apartment complexes that are being evacuated even as we speak. i-65 is shut down in parts, they are evacuating those roads, we have people stuck in cars. it is a real mess. we look at some of the pictures coming in. it's really pretty impressive. literally streets turning into rivers now, and the problem is the system is sitting right on top. let's go to the radar and we'll show you exactly what's going on. we have had heavy rainfall in the last two or three hours, talking about 4 1/2, 4 and a third, almost 5 inches of rain falling throughout the area. it continues. right now we have tornado

watches in effect for northern arkansas, into southern missouri. we have severe thunderstorm watches, flash flood warnings and flood watches in effect through this entire area all along this front. the rain is going to continue to train so you can see the flood watches, flash flood warnings as well, parts of louisville, we're going to watch this as the morning wears on. the risk of severe weather and enhanced risk from jackson, huntsville, on too lexington. 1 to 3 inches of rain and guys, as this continues to move to the east we're going to see the heavy rain continuing a and then on the back side of this system we're looking at from three to five inches of snow in upstate new york, parts of pennsylvania and northern new england. the good news is it does calm down. the next 24 hours very difficult in the mid mississippi and ohio river valleys. >> we'll be watching it. another big story, how this landmark deal to stop iran from getting the bomb is received

this morning, not only in washington but around the world. the president has insisted this is a good deal. but it may prove to be a very tough sell. let's get to peter alexander at the white house. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you here at the white house, they are calling it unprecedented but republicans and the israeli prime minister are not on board. this morning benjamin netanyahu already blasting the framework, saying it threatens the very survival of israel. >> such a deal does not block iran's path to the bomb, such a deal paves iran's path to the bomb. >> reporter: from the rose garden president obama defended the agreement, saying it will make america and the world safer. >> it is a good deal, a deal that meets our core objectives. >> reporter: the president must fend off republican critics already attacking the deal. >> there is no deal or framework with iran. there is only a list of very dangerous u.s. concessions that's going to put iran on the path to a nuclear weapon.

>> tom cotton spear headed that letter to iran last month opposing any deal. >> if the congress kills this deal not based on expert analysis and without offering any reasonable alternative, then it's the united states that will be blamed for the failure of diplomacy. >> reporter: the white house insists this would block every path way for iran to build a nuclear bomb and disposing of nuclear fuel. the agreement calls for strict u.n. inspections. in return the u.s. and allies lift punishing sanctions threatening they will be put back if iran cheats. >> well, we have extraordinary extensive verification measures that have not been applied before. we will have state of the art television cameras within centrifuge production facilities. >> reporter: back home today iran's top diplomat given a hero's welcome.

even regular iranians took to twitter posting selfies a after iran's tv took the step of showing a u.s. president's remarks. now the clock starts again, the new deadline for a final agreement is june 30, still the devil here is in the details as the president conceded nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed. >> as is so often the case. peter alexander, thank. chuck todd, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i think a lot were surprised that this deal happened at all, but also that it had as many as it seems to. >> not only that it was better than what had been leaking out. that's something of a relief to the administration. they got iran to concede to some things, there was this concern that the sanctions would somehow get lifted before there would be some verification. that wasn't the case at all. one of the things that's benefiting the administration early on, is that this deal is

being announced while congress is not in town. they are all in recess for the holidays so gives them time to sell it on their own without too much pushback. >> i wondered. i don't know if you agree but seemed to me in a way as controversial as this deal is the response to it, the criticism was somewhat muted. you don't see people falling all over themselves to get on tv or issue these duelling press releases. are people holding fire? >> good friday press strategy if the you want to call it that. they are not in town. i think there are some that are going to hold their fire, see how this plays out, see the details of the plan. the plan does have more details in it. there is 2 1/2 months before you have the actual signed, sealed and delivered part of this deal. i think the timing of it and the timing of the announcement is beneficial simply because so many of these members are out of town. >> the president has to sell it, chuck, can congress scuttle the deal as a practical matter? >> i think they can easily

scuttle the deal. you've got a lot of skeptical democrats including the highest, the incoming highest ranking democrat in the senate, chuck schumer, he put owl of a two-page statement that basically said i'm going to review the details of this agreement. that wasn't a supportive comment from somebody that the administration is desperately going to need on their side. it's possible they could kill the deal. the president could veto an attempt to do that, but there are enough democrats to override potentially override a veto. the next 2 1/2 months critical. >> the hard work is just getting started. we'll see you sunday on "meet the press." to the incredible story off of the coast of north carolina, a man missing at sea for 66 days, found alive in his damaged sail boat some 200 miles from store. tom is in norfolk, virginia where he sat down with the man and his family. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. 36-year-old lewis jordan was missing for two months forced to

broken his boat capsized three times. >> i was flying through the air, summer solting. everything was upside-down and backwards. >> he rationed his food and ate raw fish out of the ocean, capturing rain water to survive. then thursday morning an incredible stroke of luck. his small boat was spotted by the houston express, a massive german container shim 200 miles off of the carolina coast. >> they saw me standing up there waving my arms and they turned that huge sky scraper around. >> a chopper lifted him from the deck of the houston express, flying him back to norfolk. lewis is thinner and shaggier than before but he's happy to be home. >> are you ever going to sail again? >> i really don't know. >> will you ever let him get out on the boat again? >> i don't know. not in the ocean. >> reporter: you can't blame

them. i asked how did you spend those two months? he said he read the bible, over and over again, cover to cover and came away a very inspired and spiritual person. by the way, if you are on the ocean for two months, what kind of food would you miss? i asked him that. he said barbecue and organic ice cream. >> yum. good tastes. all right. >> amazing story. >> thanks so much. we have new information this morning as we continue to follow that doomed germanwingwings flight that crashed in the alps. investigators are studying the data recorder and getting disturbing information. let's go to katy tur on this again. good morning. what have they found? >> reporter: good morning. first it's important to note that lubitz only allegedly crashed the plane. according to what officials released, releasing this morning that they believe he manipulated

inside the second black box and the computer evidence of how he did it, but why still a mystery. french officials say they have been able to collect dna for 150 victims, 149 victims potentially, they still have not yet matched that dna with family members so no positive i.d. and they are not going to return any of these bodies to family members until the investigation is complete. savannah. >> reminder of the awful human toll. katy tur, thank you. now the latest on the brutal terror attack in africa. >> another horrific story. we're hearing chilling accounts from survivors of the brutal massacre on the college campus in kenya, in all 151 people died, most of the victims were students. nbc's correspondent bill neely is in nairobi. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it's a terrible story to bring you this good friday morning of

>> as movie goers are flocking to see american sniper in theaters. wayne kyle was in a courtroom, watching the man who killed his son stand trial for murder. >> what was it like to sit in the courtroom with him? >> oh, gosh it was horrible. i mean gut wrenching. it's just one of those deals that you just want to jump over that railing and, you know, kill him with your bare hands. >> in 2013 chris kyle and his close friend chad littlefield were murdered on a texas gun range by eddie ray routh, a struggling vet they were trying to help. >> you worried about him in combat. you didn't worry about him going to a range in texas. >> they basically knew who the enemy was over there. how do you know who the enemy is here? it could be the person that you take to the shooting range to try to help somebody that you

know is evil that had something else in mind. and took his life. >> and wayne kyle doesn't have much regard for how the film portrayed his other son, who also served in iraq. >> it's an absolute disgrace. they portrayed jeff as a weak almost cowardly marine you know just wanting to get out of country, you know in any way possible. and that couldn't be further from the truth from the way jeff was, is. >> the film also stirred up a debate over kyle himself. he spoke about his critics when we chatted a year before his death. >> i mean i've already heard it. i'm a murderer and a child killer and everything like that but i'm not trying to win everybody over. i just want to be an advocate for the vets and make sure they are taken care of. >> celebrities got caught in the back and forth whether chris was a hero. how did you deal with all that?

>> basically, ignored it. >> you could ignore it? >> yeah because i know it's not true. to me those people they have no self worth. they can't accomplish anything on their own. and so their only claim to fame is to try to destroy somebody who has the values people like what chris possessed. >> instead, the kyles draw strength from the outpouring of strangers who visit chris's grave site but also the enduring image of people who lined the procession route the day of his funeral. >> get emotional just thinking about it. if anybody ever wondered if texas stood behind and supported their veterans all they had to do was see that. >> i also asked wayne kyle about the move in congress

in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. hey, well i'm glad we got together. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. tell me about it. let's see, golf clinic, or blood clinic? ooh, that's a tough one. not this time. not with xarelto®. anything else? i'll have another arnold palmer. ok. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms.

do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. you may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. >> 7 time 41 with rossen reports. vacation under cover, how safe are your children when they swim in cruise ship pools? more from jeff. >> good morning to you. the cruise industry markets itself as family friendly fun for all and the pools and water

>> thanks to the ship's crew no. a passenger jumped in. once again it was passenger who is rescued this boy, chase, when he nearly drowned, falling into the donald pool aboard disney's fantasy cruise ship. >> i sat there and i prayed to god to please give me my son back. >> chase suffered major brain damage. other kids don't survive. like kwept in hunter a 6-year-old with a contagious smile. >> to be in perfect health nothing wrong, and all of a sudden he is there and there is nothing i can do. nothing. >> quentin drowned in the main pool aboard the carnival victory and once again, no lifeguard around. on these cruises, they often have over 1,000 crew members per cruise serving food drinks but no lifeguards.

>> no lifeguards. >> we wondered if anything has changed and boarded the very same ship. >> i have been hanging around all days and we have been walking five feet with an employee delivering food, drinks and towels but no employee watches the pool. >> that's right, a year and a half later, still no lifeguards. >> it boils down to one question. how many kids have to die? >> this attorney rep accepteds the family of the latest victim. >> why don't the cruise lines add lifeguards? >> because there is such a smul number on board. they want the passengers and not the crew members. >> safety is a priority and as with the majority of land-based resorts, many cruise lines provide clear and conspicuous

sign that is a lifeguard is not present. but quentin's parents say a sign is not enough. >> what is your message to families watching about to go on a cruise. >> if they don't have lifeguards get your money back. they are not looking out for us. they are looking out for their pocks and it's not fair. >> the cruise industry tells us they are reviewing the need for further action possibly including more sup at the pools. disney has already taken action putting lifeguards on all their ships. in late 2013 after that 4-year-old nearly drowned. if one cruise line can do it, why can't the rest? whether you are at a hotel or a cruise pool watch your children too. that helps. >> that's an insanely popular job for young people to want to do it. >> a lot of people on the ships too. >> coming up next whose side
