avoidable. a woman identified as jackie claims she was assaulted by seven men at a fraternity in 2012. this report from a journalism school finds "rolling stone" violated basic journalistic principles by not contacting jackie's friends to check her story. >> if this reporter contacted you, would this be avoided? >> absolutely. >> we sat down with two of jackie's friends mentioned in the article. >> i wondered why there was a photo i had never given. >> reporter: the report found "rolling stone" did not try hard enough to find the person accused of orchestrating the assault and did not give the fraternity a chance to review the allegations in detail. the reporter apologized. i allowed my concern for jackie's well being, my fear of retraumatizing her and my confidence to take the place of more questioning and more facts. charlottesville police can't rule out something terrible

happened at some point -- >> all i can tell you is there's no substantive basis to conclude that something happened in the article that night. >> calling it irresponsible journalism, they did nothing to combat sexual violence and addressed serious efforts to address the issue. >> there is a lot to be learned and that's the take away. >> reporter: "rolling stone's" publisher said this represented an isolated and unusual episode and that the reporter would continue to write for the "rolling stone" magazine. a lawyer for jackie declined to comment and columbia university scheduled a news conference to discuss this later today. >> on the campus at uva, thank you. in other news, president obama is strongly defending that deal to halt iran's nuclear program, calling it a once in a lifetime opportunity. but some lawmakers here and abroad are not buying it. the chief foreign affairs

ahead in court most of the time or slumping in his chair at the defense table. even during testimony that had jurors in tears such >> but his lawyers repeatedly said he was dominate bid his older brother tamerlan who they say took the major steps in the crime spree that followed. if the defense lawyers think taking the stand could humanize him he could testify. when the jury must be unanimous to impose the death penalty. >> if the one juror votes he gets left. it's a hallmark of our criminal system when you are going to apply or speak the ultimate penalty we require unanimity. >> the defense kept focus on the penalty phase putting on four witnesses compared to the total of 92 called by the government. the jury could begin deliberating by late today and it's possible a verdict will come quickly, perhaps within a matter of a few days. natalie. >> pete williams watching developments, thanks so much. indianapolis police are

>> yes. >> really? >> really. >> why were you so bad? >> i have no idea. i moved to america as a little girl. i didn't speak the language and it was hard. i think i would just find different ways to entertain myself and got a core group of girlfriends and we were pretty naughty. yeah that was like the least of the stuff we used to do. but here i am in italy, the tender age of 1. when i was still a good kid. >> very cute. you had to learn english at what age, about 8 when you moved here? >> yeah about the age of 7. i got lost in the public school system in washington washington, d.c. >> and what this book dishes and in that spirit i know we have a lot to talk about. and you have been very candid lately. for one thing, you have been in the headlines a bit because of your weight. and people most recently after the award season said giuliana is so skinny something is going on there. and you decided, i'm going to talk about it. >> it was something that i didn't feel like i ever needed to talk about, because i think weight is very personal whether

you are underweight or overweight whatever it's your business. but it became distracting. i would do a two-hour red carpet show and so proud of the interview, so many fun moments, and go on the internet afterwards just to see 99% of the comments about my weight. and so i basically found it distracting and thought, i think it's time to just tell the truth and tell people what's going on. >> what is going on? you are, in fact very very thin. people say, do you have an eating disorder? >> i do not have an eating disorder. i never have had an eating disorder. i want to be very clear about that. in fact i eat a lot. you know and people always they love to tweet, eat a burger. i eat burgers. it's not working. but the main thing is i've lost a considerable amount of weight really in the past year or two. due to the cancer medication i'm on. to be honest i was eating more than i ever ate and was losing weight. i was scared and thought, what

the heck is happening to my body. >> you said you would like to gain weight. >> exactly. it is very scary to have cancer be on medication and then you start losing weight. i think, oh my gosh is the cancer back and he said a side effect from the medication you're on is weight loss. >> you have been on a lot this year. one of the things have to do with your struggle with fertility. you have an adorable little boy. >> thank you. >> who is over 2 now, but i know you were hoping your surrogate would be able to have another baby. you just got sad news about that. >> we did. we -- everyone has been asking us about our last embryo because we would talk about it on the reality show we had our final shot of having a baby a biological child, another biological child. unfortunately, she did miscarry. it just didn't work out. but that's okay. we have other options. i've been open to adoption even before we had issues. so we're definitely looking at our options. >> and let's talk about "fashion police." you guys are creating headlines for a lot of different reasons. first of all, there was the

entire exchange about zendaya and you made a comment on the show a lot of people perceived as racist, including zendaya. you apologized for it. by the way, she accepted your apology, but what did you learn from this whole experience? >> it is something i want to be really clear about that happened because i have never really spoken out about it. you know i made a reference to the hippie culture. i talked about a hippie perfume. in the editing process, some of the gestures were taken out. i made the peace signs and said bo hemo bohemian twice. but i find racism reprehensible. i don't tolerate it at all nor have i ever. that's important for me to get out. that is the hardest part of all of this is that somebody could

believe that i would have racial undertones in the things i do. absolutely not. >> given the way it was edited do you see why people took offense? >> yeah. i see why people took offense. i feel like the joke was not edited in the proper way and that's just something i have to live with but it's very important for me to just get out there and tell the real story. and i knew i would have my moment but those darn headlines were so crazy. i thought let everything calm down and i can tell the real story. >> i'm out of time but "fashion police," coming back next fall? >> yes, next september. >> you'll be there? >> we'll see. >> there might be more to it. >> that's our next interview, savannah. >> appreciate it. i have to send it outside to matt. >> savannah thank you very much. the ongoing series "shine a light" where we focus on giving back to deserving causes. we have been quietly working on this next project for about a year now. i'm standing with folks from kaboom a nonprofit dedicated to giving kids a childhood filled

with active and balance play. so our goal was to build a playground for deserving communities. after months of searching, we zeroed in on the folks in passaic, new jersey. take a look. >> passaic is a great city full of life commerce and great pride. >> we like to think of passaic as a little bit of a melting pot. >> you will notice something in passaic, they don't leave. >> we band together as a community. >> we're dealing with the problems and we make things work. >> the biggest problem for kids in this area is space. a place to run around and have fun with friends and family. >> i don't get that much of a chance to go outside. because my mother doesn't think it's that safe. >> where i live there is only like a bunch of stones it's not that much grass and all. >> as a child, you are excited to go outside and play.

our children don't have that excitement because most likely after school they're going home. >> if you don't find something, kids get lost. >> they hang out on the streets and committing crimes. >> i've seen the kids fighting and arguing. me myself my kids can't play here. >> when i was a kid, growing up here, we played here. now it's barren nothing to play with or play on. >> they are in desperate need of a playground. >> a playground. >> a playground. >> senator, the people of passaic have spoken. and we heard them loud and clear about wanting a playground in their community, what is it going to mean to the people here? >> it is profound when you put a playground in a neighborhood it literally changes the spirit of a community. and it brings the community together. >> it's not a luxury, it is actually a that in cessnecessity for kids to get out to play and to learn.

>> i was a mayor once and saw what it does to a child's well-being and their overhaul health and development. so it's a game-changer for a neighborhood to have access to a park. >> everybody okay? >> hi everybody, how are you doing? you doing okay? so about a year ago we set out to find a place to build a playground. a place where kids wanted to grow and parents would participate. we are going to build a fantastic playground right in this field here. >> when we look out and see this green grass, we see possibilities. and we hope sooner rather than later i'll be pushing matt maybe on a swing or perhaps down a slide, and we can't wait to see you and the smiles on your faces. >> in addition to the city leaders and the folks at can boon which have built and fixed up so many playgrounds around the country, we've got a really important partner. senator corey booker.

>> hello, everybody! are we excited? i love the fact that we have the "today" show here. i have always loved the name of the show because there is an urgency. we are not going to do it tomorrow we are going to do it when? >> today! >> you are going to start building our future when? >> today! >> we are going to start building the best park in new jersey when? >> today! >> i love that! >> are you excited about the park? >> yeah! >> we're going to take this field and make it beautiful, all right? >> we want them off the streets, on the playgrounds and being kids. >> i just want them to be happy and to enjoy life. >> it would expose them to a whole new world. it will change their lives. >> playing is the thing that kids do the most. the more they do that the

happier they get. >> we have folks from passaic here along with major mayor of the city here. the man on the ground. how are people feeling? >> they are pumped. they are so excited. they are going to bring a brand-new play space and know this will be a huge process for this group. we are really excited. >> so what is the next step? how do we get started? >> all it takes is the people on the ground in passaic making sure they are excited to play and playability and in a matter of time we'll make the playground happen. >> and they are going to make it happen with bake sales and car washes and all kinds of things. >> we have a crowd rise. >> if you would like to help head to our fund-raising page at crowdrise.com/mattandsavannah. >> bethenny frankel is here and why she is swearing off marriage

no. i wish. i had fantasyies of it being that way. eight months ago i was fray and fragile and a nervous wreck and i'm still in a crabby position but probably in about six months i will be really on the other side. >> bethenny is here now and also the author of a new book. here's a good title. i suck at relationships so you don't have to. bethenny. good morning. >> it's fun tow meet men and ask you what you are up to and say you are launching a book and called a suck at relationships so you don't have to. all right. i'll talk to you later. >> at least it's all out front there. the title gave me a chuckle and you attacked the elephant in the room. this is giving relationship advice and you just went through a divorce and you say in the book this is the one thing i'm not good at. relationships. >> i think so. i'm owning it. i learned more from mistakes

than i have successes. i was broke not so long ago and in my business i wanted to be successful and i made a lot of mistakes and i had no idea if it would happy. i can give advice on something i made mistakes in. it's about do as i say, not as i've done. i'm still on the journey. >> you have been so public. that's part of your profile. is it hard to go through things -- it's your life. these are things that are personal and here they are out so public. has that been difficult to have that journey? >> it does put a spotlight on you obviously, but it makes you stronger. being in the public eye, i am so resilient to anything negative that i have a better perspective on it and a better attitude. it's difficult. i do feel that when i'm going through something, i write. it pours out of me. through the years when things are great, i wrote a place of yes. when i used to have food noise,

i wrote naturally thin. i am going through something. if i can help people and talk about what i'm going through in realtime and express it which i think i have a gift for, i think it's great. i love this book so much and all of the practical advice in it. >> we mentioned the real housewives of new york city. i watched the real housewives and you were always one of my favorites. what made you want to come back? >> i didn't want to come back. people say that because of the failure of my talk show i had to come back. i was offered shark tank and "dancing with the stars" and cinderella but i wanted to go home again. i never thought i would go back. it got to a point where i didn't enjoy it anymore. i am so glad i waited because i'm enjoying it. i respect the women and what everyone is going through and we are at different times. some of them i have known and it feels like i'm going back to high school. like a reunion.

there is drama, but people are going through so many interesting things personally and so many transformations and transitions, it's the most interesting season and it's funny. which i missed. i miss the humor of it. >> a lot of the franchises some of them have a lot of drama. maybe it's fake drama like the glass of wine and this or that. should we expect that from you? >> no. i have never seen someone smash a glass or rip someone's hair extension out. i have never seen that. i have seen a lot. i think it's real. we are going through real things. i miss the connection with the fans. i did miss talking to women and going through things realtime. people don't know me anymore or they think they don't know me. i went through so many things with the people and i miss being free and honest and open. >> you are very real and open. one of the things you talked

about in the past is your weight. we had a similar conversation with giuliana rancic. we put a picture up and the paparazzi snapped a photo. some people say you look great and others say you are too skinny. >> people do comment a lot. i say yeah i am thin. i have a brand called skinny girl. it's not a giant mystery. you can't please everybody. you try to please everybody, you end up pleasing nobody. sometimes i agree i look too thin when i'm hire and haggered. i do eat. nutritionists comment that i don't weigh 100 pounds. i weigh 115. i would be happy to get on the "today" show scale. >> the day we get a scale is my last day. >> i don't need to dress for success if i don't weigh what i say i do. i have done it in the past. people don't talk about people who are overweight.

imagine being like weigh, that person looks really overweight it wouldn't be nice. >> being in the believe eye, there good things and bad things. your 4-year-old girl is darling. >> she is so sweet. you have a little girl too. >> she is 7 months old. maybe britney can show her the ropes around the neighborhood. thank you so much and congrats on the book. you can catch the premier of the real housewives of new york city tomorrow night at 9:00 and 8:00 central. bethenny will stick around and find the "today" show scale. just kidding. she will be on with kathie lee and hoda. some of the housewives will be there later on. the tax deadline is approaching. what if you can't meet it. the seven steps you need to take right now.

back at 8:48 with seven steps you should take if you

can't file your taxes on time. this year millions of americans miss that deadline. so what do you need to know with just ten days to go? jean, good to see you. good morning. the first thing is don't do nothing. >> doing nothing gets very expensive. you have to file even if you can't pay. the penalty for not filing is 5% of what you owe per month up to 25%. that's 10 to 20 times more than the penalty for filing and not paying. >> because if you don't file then the irs generates a return based on what the company you work for tells them you made. >> exactly. the irs gets information from two sources and the sources are supposed to true up. they are supposed to be the same and that's how you know what you owe and are not cheating. few and if you don't tell them they base it on once source. >> you say figure out when you might be able to pay. that's an important question to ask yourself.

>> right. there are different methodologies based on your timeframe. if you think you can pay within 30 days, just file the return. the irs is going to send you a bill and penalize you, but .5%. a half of a percent of what you owe. it won't be a huge amount. if you think you can pay from 30 days to 120 days from one to four months essentially you want to ask for a short-term payment extension. they are willing to do this. you have to ask for it. you're going to be penalized but it won't cost you as much as going on installments. >> a lot of people qualify to have interest fees waived. >> this is what the irs calls the fresh start initiative. there's a separate form to fill out but they are very clear. you have to be going through a hardship not just an inconvenience. it will require you to sell assets at a significant loss in order to qualify. >> we have gone from asking yourself when you might be able to pay.

now you need to ask yourself the question, how am i going to pay? >> right. it's going to take you more than four months. the first is an installment agreement. if you owe less than $50,000 and can pay it within six years, they are willing to allow you to go on installments. there is a set up cost from $50 to $120. the lower cost is if you are willing to allow the irs to pull money from your bank account each month which drops the penalty from a half a percent to a quarter a percent. >> if you owe the irs money, it may be a red flag that you have got this whole thing figured out wrong in the first place. >> yeah and you want to go back to adjust your withholding because you don't want this to happen year after year after year. and another option is to pay on a credit card. before anybody says whoa that's a bad idea. if you have a zero percent credit card and you can pay within a year or two?

you may very well be better putting it on that credit card but a high interest rate credit card no way. >> what if it is not about money, what if it is you just can't get it all together by april 15th. what do you do then? >> in that case fill out the extension. the irs will give you the six-month extension, but it is an extension for filing not paying. pay what you think you owe them. base it on last year just be careful that you don't want to undercut what you owe the irs by 10% or more or you pay a penalty. >> and by the way, people can file for free and always be careful with scams out there targeting taxpayers. >> you get a call from somebody saying they are the irs, they are not the irs. hang up the phone. >> good insight. jean chatzky, thank you very much. we are back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc.

let's get a check of today's birthdays from willard scott. hey, willard. >> beatrice oleminster from the great state of new york. beatrice is 108. we wish her well. she is a champion table bowler.

delivery. >> i'm sure we will have cameras there. >> i love that milla made the announcement. is she excited? >> she is excited now. she is so cute. says her mother. she is excited now. i think she definitely likes attention. i'm not sure where that comes from. i'm not sure where she gets it. i'm not sure how when the actual baby sissy -- in theory it's this great thing her mother's tummy. she may change her mind really, really fast. >> i love the video announcement. as natalie mentioned, you were voting to send you off on an excursion and you used the baby. you had to make the announcement. that was sweet. how many takes? >> one. we have to know when to do it. after a nap she is feeling good and hair is brushed and she

we heard this sound. is that willie geist? the undefeated kentucky wildcats lost to wisconsin 38-0. this was unbelievable. twitter on fire. facebook on fire. fans were going batty. they posted a vine of the players celebrating with their fans. duke also made out in michigan state to go to the finals. wisconsin wins, this will be the first championship in 74 years or duke's fifth national title. jack, his son picked out the team in the leagues. al and willie have a shot at second place. both picked wisconsin. you picked wisconsin. >> here's the deal. if they win, al and i are tied and it am cancomes down to points. if kentucky or duke wins, matt wins the pool even though he

picked kentucky. >> what was your spread? >> i have no idea. >> there you are. >> another low scoring game. >> that game saturday night, wisconsin and kentucky undefeated and such a great team full of freshmen next year. wisconsin is really talented too. frank the tank. >> unbelievable. >> that was a fun game. >> a nail biter. >> my sister went to wisconsin. not just for the pool, but my sister. >> my gosh! >> the underdog. >> i like duke too, but you feel like he was, right? >> on to wisconsin. >> we will see. >> i just want you and al to keep matt in the pool. >> that's what this is about. >> al doesn't care. he is like what team? who are these people that you speak of?

>> whoa, whoa, whoa. >> i don't say i don't care. i just don't know anything about it. i'm excited about it. i just don't know anything about it. >> excited about it why? >> because it's a great thing and people are talking about it. it's a national championship. >> is it more exciting to talk about that or having a min yon behind you? >> i'm excited too. >> some things i don't know. >> that's behind you. >> i want to know your method because you won the pool last year. >> you just looked at names i new. brand names. >> versus generic? >> wisconsin has beer brats,

they became very very sick. apparently due to a pesticide that was used at their hotel. pesticide poisoning that they are suffering from. the rental agency said they were staying on the second floor of the condo above a property that was recently sprayed for bugs. now what is used in this pesticide is a highly toxic pesticide that is illegal to use indoors in the u.s. and the u.s. virgin islands, but i guess other places it is still being used obviously. such a horrible story. the mother was released, the father is now in stable condition, the twos however the teens are in critical condition this morning. they say it is a neurotoxin and affects the brain and the central nervous system. my thoughts are with that family. it makes you think as stephanie gosk was reporting one of the

questions now is you might want to ask when you book a vacation is what kind of pesticides do you use? if this meth il bromide is being used. >> why is it being used and in circulation. >> term 96 is the company that makes it and they are cooperating with the authorities, but i'm curious why they even make the product if it's so highly toxic. >> stephanie gosk reported that there is no odor. if it is somewhere around you would never know. you would walk in and seemingly normal room and this potentially could happen. that makes it good. >> apparently from experts when you walk into the hotel to open up the windows and air out the place before you settle in. >> you shouldn't have to think about that. >> i know. it's shocking. >> the emts, all four family

members were seizing. they had seizures and the father was temporarily paralyzed. he is going to occupational therapy now. the two boys are in critical condition. >> critical condition. it's shocking. >> we're are thinking about that family for sure. we want to go back to al because 9-year-old sofia wrote a letter to president obama last summer asking why there no women on the u.s. currency. she suggested a few women. rosa parks, eleanor roosevelt and michelle obama. little did she know the president would write back. he said i will make sure you grow up in a country where women have the same opportunities as men and i hope you will stay involved on issues that matter to you. also invited to the annual easter egg roll there she is with al. take away. >> thanks so much. sofia what made you write the letter to the president some.

>> >> well, i was studying historical people in my classroom and most of my friends who were studying boys had pictures of like dollars and coins on their posters. so i was wondering why are there no girls on dollars and coins for the united states? so i left home and i wrote the letter. >> you suggested rosa parks for the $20 bill? >> yeah. >> why did you like putting ms. parks on which is a great choice? >> she is very important because she inspired dr. martin luther king. >> when you got the letter back, were you surprised some. >> i was really surprised and super excited. >> what was the coolest part about that? >> the bottom of it had barack obama's signature. at first i couldn't read it, but -- >> we will have to talk to him about the signature. is this your first time here?

>> yeah. >> you hope you get to be president? >> hope. >> who is on this coin here? >> sacagawea. >> thank you very much and i hope you have a great time today. nice meeting the sky over san francisco continues to change as those clouds roll in. we're going to hold off on the showers until later on this evening. temperatures are going to be cool as that storm approaches. mostly in the mid-60s. we are expecting some thunderstorms as well as we head throughout tonight. heavy bouts of rain from time to time. wednesday and thursday looking dry and warmer. then another round potentially of showers, mostly north of the golden gate bridge friday into saturday. >> guys here is sofia's parents. >> kim. >> brad. >> and brother? >> cole.

shape or form. it's not something -- no way. no way. so that was horrifying seeing my name in those headlines when i was thinking, no no, no, that's not what it was. >> it's hard to get the truth out there when the narrative is out there in a certain way. >> i wanted the headlines to calm down and then i would have my moment to come here and talk about it and that i could clear the air at this point. but at the same time i learned that there is -- you got to just be careful. i take ownership for everything. i learned some very valuable lessons. i've definitely learned who my friends are and aren't. a good quote that i now live by is when someone shows you their true colors, believe them. >> people will show you who they are and what they are. >> good luck with your book. >> we love you. >> and your two colors are beautiful. >> i'm a little more colorful wish your skin could bounce back as quickly as it used to?
