north 101. south carolina governor nikki haley is coming up right now on "the today show." this as they take that flag off of the south capital grounds there. it's coming up now. good morning. breaking news n just a moment, the confederate flag at south carolina's capitol will come down for good. the end of a long fought battle over what some see as a symbol of hate. but others consider a symbol of southern pride. we're there live with an exclusive interview with governor nicky haley who led the charge to remove the flag. last best, bill clinton and george bush all smiles in a rare appearance together. >> my daughter spoke to me in manderine. >> but will got time last as the race heats up between hillary

clinton and jeb bush? back draft. two firefighters inside a burning home when it suddenly explodes sending installation everywhere. this morning how they managed to escape with their lives. and girl power, the nation set to hohnnor the world cup champions with a ticker tape parade in new york city, but not before they make their way to the plaza to see the hottest girl band around. friday, july 10th, 2015. >> and good morning. welcome to "today" on a friday morning. 7:00 on the west coast. hoda's last day here. savannah come backs. i don't mean your last day working here. >> you never know, right?

>> we have a big crowd to send you off. >> i'm so happeny. fifth fifth harmony is here. 12, 13, 14, all their moms and everyone else in between. it will be a lot of fun. >> savannah will be back on monday along with al. let's start with the history being made in south carolina. the ceremony to remove the confederate flag is about to begin. let's pause to give stations a chance to join us. >> there is an nbc news special report. here is matt lauer. >> and good morning, everyone. i'm matt lauer. history about to be made in south carolina. the confederate flag that has flown on the grounds of the state house in columbia for more than five decades, a symbol of hate for many, heritage for others, is about to be taken down and moved to a museum. this comes just weeks after this historic vote by state lawmakers

and just over three weeks after that deadly shooting at a black church in charleston. nbc's ron allen is down there in that crowd somewhere. ron, we were getting the aerial view. give me a sense of the size of the crowd, the security, and are there people on both sides of this issue present? >> this is an incredible moment. people are starting to chant, take it down. take it down. there are thousands upon thousands of people here on the state house grounds. and crowding the streets around the capitol. people have been coming here since early this morning to be a part of this and to witness it. we can see that honor guard is in place, a small honor guard will march out to the flag and take it down. this will be a small brief dignified, quick ceremony that's not going to last very long. also, on the steps of the capitol, question see a large contingent of relatives of those who lost loved ones so tragically at mother emanuel church a few weeks ago.

this is so much about them. i can seat governor there. i can see nicky haley shaking hands with the relatives at the top of the steps there. that is a cue this is about to begin. when the governor arrived, we were told the ceremony will begin. there is very, very heavy security here. the area is closed off for blocks. there is a ban on carrying personal weapons within 250 yards of this place as a precaution because people are concerned about the passions that are on both sides of this issue. there are protesters out for the past few days. there was an epic, epic debate in the house of representatives here that lasted for 12, 13 hours, well into the night a few days ago. debate wlg this flag should come down or not after 54 contentious years here in south carolina. and now that is going to happen in a brief, dignified ceremony that should be getting under way any moment. the governor is in place. and now the honor guard is in place. we expect this to begin any moment.

>> let me interrupt for a second. we also have chuck todd standing by in washington. as the ceremony is about to take place and grofrn hailovernor haley did spear head this effort, talk about the significance of this happening at this moment in our nation's history. >> matt, it's unbelievable. when i think about sort of my career covering presidential politics, it always goes through south carolina. this flag has been so contentious for so long. and it just seemed an intractable debate. and all of a sudden, it is not. the fact it took a tragedy to do. this you get the feeling, i feel like we're witnessing, you know, the -- we're marking the end date on the confederate battle flag as a symbol in american politics and it's today. 2015. that will be the epitaph on the confederate flag. it feels that way. the country moved on. i have to tell you, it's remarkable to watch governor haley, the two senators both

republicans lindsey graham and tim scott. this couldn't have happened in south carolina without the three of them locking arms and making it happen, staying united. to me, it's a lesson in leadership that others who are in elected office ought to watch. because the three of them pulled this off together. obviously governor haley being the leader f they don't lock arms this doesn't happen as swiftly and as momentously as it is. >> and grofrn hailovernor haley talked to us and talked about the families of those who lost their lives at that ame church and said the grace and forgiveness changed her and changed the mood in south carolina and this country and forced people to look at what we have in common, not what divides us. and, yet, chuck and ron, i'll let you chime in after. that we have to remember, there are a lot of people in south carolina who are going to watch this and for them it's a defeat. for them they see it as a losing or a loss of their heritage. and they're going to be angry about this.

>> and, matt, make no mistake, there will be some political reprecushions for state legislator, a state senator, a member of that assembly who may lose their re-election because of their vote to go with the governor on this and take down this flag. but it feels as if it's still sort of a remnant of the past. >> chuck, let's just watch this as this happens. this honor guard, i think ron mentioned earlier, the same honor guard that served at the state funeral in south carolina for state senator and reverend clemente klem en clemente pinckney.

let's watch. >> you can hear chants in the background continuing, take it down. we were told this would be simple and dignified, lasting five minutes or ten minutes. once the flag is taken down, it will be handed over to the man who runs the relic room at the confederate museum about a mile away from the state capitol there in columbia, south carolina. we're told it will be displayed appropriately. not really sure exactly what that means. and i would expect you'll hear a cheer as this flag starts to

come down. >> ron allen, can you hear me? >> yes. >> give me a sense for what you're seeing and hearing. >> i hear a lot of emotion. i see a lot of teary eyes. i see a lot of people straining to take never second of this moment. i see a lot of relief.

i see some anger. i see some small confederate flags in the crowd. and i've heard those voesices so loudly. this is a memorial to tens of thousands of young men and women that gave money for a cause they were fighting, the civil war. and those don't care if this is wrong or right. they want their ancestors honored. the flag on that pole sits in front of a confederate soldier memorial. it's one of the largest memorials on the state house grounds. it is prominently in the front. as you drive by the capitol, that is the first thing you see. the flag, of course, is not there any longer. but others point out that that is enough of a monument along with many others here to hohn yort memory of those soldiers. fwhut is but this is a moment in is being sthak is reallyate that is trying

to move on. walmart, ebay, sears came out and said they will no longer deal with confederate memorabilia. there is a ban by the ncaa of having championship sports, college sports here in south carolina because of the flag. and that has now been lifted. the debate in the house the other night, a lot of representatives emphasized the economic impact that this flag being here has had on south carolina and the hope that that will now change. again, burst of applause. people yelling, take it down. the hope here is that this will move -- this will help this place move on. and what i really see, matt, what i'm focusing on, is the faces of the loved ones who lost at mother emanuel church. there is a large contingent here. i also see the pastor of that church reverend goff who presided over nine separate funerals in the past couple weeks. we went to manufacture the

funerals. they were emotional. they were gut wrenching. they were also inspiring because of the forgiveness and the grace that these families have shown throughout this as we can now see the flag being marched across the state house grounds. but i see a lot of tears in the eyes of those families. i see a measure of relief. i see also -- and i heard them talk about how bittersweet this is. because it took the lives of their loved ones to make this happen. and those nine were innocent and ordinary people. a librarian, a track coach, a young man who just finished college, and who was dreaming of being a barber, entrepreneur, mothers, fathers, grand fathers, the oldest, 74. the youngest 26. >> ron, let me jump in for a second. we're watching that flag being handed over to the director of the south carolina confederate relic room and military museum. and it will then go off to that

museum to be displayed or stored from now on. not to be flown at the state capitol again. and, chuck, to bring balk in, we saw grofrn hailovernor haley standing on the grounds. so much attention on her over the last several weeks. and so much praise, also, so much criticism. what has this done to impact her career and her political future? >> look, you can't help but say that, you know this is a case where her act as a governor in the state have gotten national attention, given her national exposure. she was a once and future rising star when she first got elected. maybe tried to be a national star too soon too, quickly in that first term. sort of put her focus on the state and now she met the moment. >> matt, we see this all the time in politics. you meet a moment. it's an unexpected moment. how do you handle that moment? and i think that it's pretty clear nicky haley handled this as well as any governor could handle.

you can say she was late to the game. that criticism is there. she's accepted that criticism. but again, without her, lindsey graham and tim scott locking arms on this i don't know if that south carolina republican-controlled legislature does this. they pulled this off. >> chuck, thank you very much. ron allen on the grounds of the state house there in columbia. thank you for your insight as well. so in a simple and dignified ceremony, history made this morning in south carolina. the confederate flag removed from the grounds of the capitol in columbia. something so many people had wanted to see happen for decades. but also something fairly that so many others have resisted for that same period of time. it remains to be seen whether the removal of that flag does what members of the south carolina legislature hope it will do, usher in a new era for the state and perhaps even usher in a new era of unity and racial harmony in this country. we'll have to wait and see. >> there will be a lot of talk after that, i'm sure. all right.

we're going to turn now to natalie? >> actually, we'll have much more on this event throughout the day on might bensnb and we are back with the "today" show on this friday morning. >> yeah, some breaking news just happened a couple minutes ago. we got some more news to report. natalie is here. >> that's right. we're going to start with the iran nuclear talks. they're akugz six world powers of backtracking on commitments after yet another deadline to reach a nuclear agreement expired with still no deal. iran says the world powers are changing their conditions and using pressure tactics. the comments follow a u.s. warning that it is ready to walk way from the talks. the obama administration had hoped to have a final deal to submit to congress by yesterday. fwhaut deadline was imposed by legislation that came and went with no deal. an update now on a story we

first told you about on wednesday. tom selleck reached a settlement with the california water district that accused him of moving water over district boundaries. that's according to an agency. he says selleck hired a third party company had broke rules by taking water from a hydrant in one water district and then moving it to selleck's home in yet another district. his representative could not be reached for comment. now to that video that we showed you at the top of the show. an arkansas woman and her baby escaped their home just before a frightening explosion, all caught on camera. firefighters were entering the home late wednesday night when a back draft blew the installation from the house. thankfully the two firefighters were not injured in the blast. investigators are calling the fire suspicious because there was no electric or gas connected to that house. >> that is really scary footage. >> really scary. >> yeah. >> unbelievable. >> matt, thanks so much. >> what do you got? >> well, we're still looking at the monsoon season in the

pacific northwest. the southwest, actually. we have a couple of scattered showers and storms. this area of low pressure though out in california is finally going to bring relief to the pacific northwest. temperatures instead of being well into the 90s and breaking records will be in the 70s. 7 seattle. 79 in eugene, oregon. san jose, california, 7 adegrees5 degrees. that is going to last through the weekend. tomorrow it may be chilly in seattle with a high of 72 degrees. i slight risk of stronger storms. they'll be xat aerd longscattered along this frontal boundary. the biggest stlet for the lightning, obviously, heavier dune pours that could lead to flash flooding and larger hail ♪ how's it progressing with the prisoner? he'll tell us everything he knows very shortly, sir. as you were... where were we?

information. all right. by the way, savannah e-mailed in on this one. she's with you. take your financial information out there. most people don't agree. according to a survey from mastercard 55% said they'd rather have nude photos leaked online instead of financial information. speaking of having your personal information shared on internet we have an interesting article on today.com, five things other than things like nude pictures and all that that you should never share online because if you do you could be providing crucial information to hackers. these are kind of surprising. for instance, experts say do not post the name of your favorite movie. that's because sometimes that's a common security password for people. the same thing is true for your high school mascot. third, this is probably my favorite -- don't put concert -- a picture of your concert tickets -- like i'm going to fifth harmony and you show the ticket because often there is a bar code on there. someone can blow that picture

up figure out a way to lift that bar code and that could be their ticket in. >> then you'll walk up to your seat for the concert and see the person who did that. >> who gets stamped first? go to today.com for the whole list of goodies. that's interesting. now to a photo that's inspiring comparisons to the infamous dress photo, you know black and blue or white and gold. this bottles of nail polish and a high heeled shoe. a twitter user asking which color of nail polish matches the shoe best. what do you guys think? >> i thought it was the light pink one on the right until i looked at the other one. you know what? your eye plays a tricks on here. >> dylan? >> at first i thought the purple but then i switched to pink. now i'm switching back. >> i think tls the oneit is the one on the left. >> i think it is the one on the right. if you cover it up it looks like purple. >> natalie, once you told me to

cover up the nail polish on the right, i see how it looks like purple. >> bottom line i would never match my nail polish to my shoes. >> most people online saying the one on the right. now to ariana grande's new heartfelt apology. and jennifer lawrence finally meets her big hollywood crush. >> we have a lot to talk about. here we go. we are starting with ariana grande and her new apology all stemming from this moment caught on video. ariana licking doughnuts at a california shop and saying she hates america. that incident now under investigation. ariana apologized on twitter but felt that wasn't enough so in a four-minute black and white video posted online thursday night, she tried to explain herself. >> seeing the video of yourself behaving poorly that you have no idea was taken is such a rude awakening that you don't -- like you don't know what to do. i was so disgusted with myself.

i like shoved my face into the wall and wanted to disappear. i apologize for my poor choice of words and for my behavior. being seen ugly makes you never want to behavior that way again and i'm 22 years old. i'm human. i've still got a lot to learn and i make mistakes and that's how i'm going to learn. >> there you have. it. adding that she'll use this experience to learn and grow and get better. over the last few weeks we've gotten pictures of the stars, costumes andbut never the full cast. there they are. they're filming in boston on thursday. they've been shooting for about a month and the movie hits theaters next july. >> it is going to be funny.

finally, jennifer lawrence. remember when she revealed her biggest hollywood crush was bill murray? well she had never been able to meet him so imagine jennifer's shock when the man himself, bill murray made a surprise appearance at comicon. jennifer was there promoting the new "hunger games" movie. meanwhile, jennifer appeared on the conan o'brien show with her "hunger games" co-stars and they got to show off one of her mini talents. ready? >> one, two, three, four five six. ♪ do you believe in love ♪ ♪ i really don't think you're strong enough ♪ >> channeled a little cher there. >> i love jennifer lawrence. she's great. coming up next could you handle it? we are taking you for a ride on

american. >> is meryl streep coming in next? >> it is incredible to me to become a source of national discourse. >> i have to say, i think the four minute redo apology makes it worse. it was too long. it was sort of rambling. i think she meant relevant. not relative. i think that's the word she meant to use. i feel like you could have made it concise, short, redo apology may have been better. she did have a great manicure. >> i noticed that. >> impeccable. >> i will say one thing though. if any of us is judged on our very worst moment i hope that never happens to me. she shouldn't have done it. i know she apologized for it. that one moment don't know what was happening, she was out with her friends. >> i did feel bad for her. she said to see yourself acting so poorly not knowing -- i do feel badly for her. i guess i can forgive her but

condition, born with the complete absence of his tibia and fibula bones on his leg. they call it a disability. >> he has the abilities. they're just different. often he is the one that shows up with a different way but he is differently able. we don't see him as disabled. when did you decide that was best to have his legs removed? amputate amputated? >> shortly after he was born we met with a team of different doctors. we felt by amputating his lower legs he would have the opportunity to be as mobile as possible. >> i couldn't have my legs? >> no not real legs. >> what was the other option? >> the other option was to keep your little feet. you know your little baby feet? and if -- >> braylon has two sets of legs. one for walking, and one for

running. he gets fit for new ones every 6 to 12 months. >> insurance doesn't cover the running legs so it is through a foundation that braylon is every other year able to get these amazing running legs. without these he wouldn't be able to run, hop and skip the way that he is able to on the running legs. >> he wouldn't be able to be a little boy. >> right. it would be vastly different. >> reporter: today braylon plays baseball golf and even has speaking engagements at schools. >> what's the question you get the most? >> you good at baseball? >> what do you tell them? >> what question do they ask you about your legs? >> how do you take them off. i just put this on. >> wow. it's easy. you do that all yourself in the morning? >> yep. >> no help? >> we always talk about he's special not because his legs are different but because of how he chooses to live with his life with his legs. it is really that spirit i think. at least as a mom what makes him so special to us.

i think to others. >> what do you think he teaches other people? >> those little things that happen to you, you maybe get cut off on the road shoe is untide. those are little things in life that don't matter. it is really how you take it. >> a friendly wager -- >> you're going down! >> oh! that's a challenge! okay! go! >> reporter: but braylon proves that even when he gets knocked down he gets right back up. ready to go again. >> braylon won our game fair and square. we agreed do a $10 bet. he wanted $100. quite a negotiator. i said it comes out of my budget but i did pay up later on at the challenge athletes foundation gala here in new york. i paid him his $10. there. he ended up buying himself something nice. a frame of new york so that he could put a picture to remember this moment. >> i feel so lucky to have met

him. he is the best kid and he has great parents. and the swagger he shows, too. >> i love it. >> he said you got that right, kid! he's hilarious. he is adorable. coming up next ellie is stepping into the kitchen. you're going to help whip up a classic cold soup. not a lot of cooking involved. it is cold. >> as long as we're just stirring things. with secret outlast clear gel, you're ready no matter how long your day gets. guys listen up! the most important lesson today is safety. jake, put that down chin up secret's clear gel formula... gives you 48-hour odor protection and goes on clear for no white marks. point it at the ground til your ready that's not the ground so when your day goes on and on kevin! sue! put that down. ...and on fire! outlast it with secret outlast clear gel. also in clinical strength. there's a bazillion ways to top your kids' rice krispies. what's yours? ♪ a dash of fruit ♪ ♪ in their favorite color. ♪

i'm ... ==anim== continuing coverage of the doyle drive closure... good morning everyone. 9:56. i'm scott mcgrew. we have continuing coverage of the doyle drive closure. mostly been uneventful on the commute through san francisco today following the closure last night. drivers are without access to

the main link connecting the golden gate bridge until monday morning. mike is on it. he has traffic in just about a minute. cal trans will reportedly get a cashin fusion to prevent more damage to the rods anchoring the new bay bridge span. the problem's grown since last year. concerns about the rods being exposed to water and becoming weak through corrosion and rust. the chronicle reports last night a committee voted to spend an additional $1.1 million to come up with the plan to prevent further damage. let's check your weather this morning. >> good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. right now we are still seeing the low clouds, even little bit of some patchy light rain. as we go into the afternoon expect a high of 78 degrees in the north bay. in the south bay 77 degrees. and the peninsula topping out at 76 while san francisco stays in the upper 60s. in the tri-valley highs reaching 80 degrees. a mixture of sun and clouds. overall we'll get more sunshine

today and temperatures do stay comfortable. is it comfortable on the roads, mike? for the folks on the golden gate bridge at least on the span. look at that. we have an easy drive across the span. the warning to avoid this is because look at your maps. we're talking about that closure of doyle drive. right there that one section folks have avoided it. surface streets are looking pretty good. look at all of this jam down the east shore freeway compressing toward the bay bridge toll plaza which is still full. we have a giants game at night. that's when we'll see more traffic heading in towards san francisco. folks are slowing on highway 1 right around california and geary. that's the slow drive. back to you. mike thanks. more local news in half an hour. see you then.

theater and like if you and i are sitting here, in ex-to us there are a few'm the i seats and somebody says "are those seats takens and we say no. do you stand up to let someone go through. ? this is movie theater etiquette. >> for broadway you have to there's no place to go. >> what about the movies. >> well, if they're a bigger person you have to stand up. and i don't like people stepping on my feet. so it's better to get up and where gracious. >> sometimes i'm about to get up because the person behind you is muscling through and they pass with their rear end in your face. >> oh, that's pleasant. >> and then they linger.

so you have to be careful because you don't want to get in trouble. you could die. >> the world we live in today. >> do you like to floss? i would like to floss now because we have popcorn in our teeth. but the american academy of peer owe donning to says pretty much nobody likes to floss. more than a third of us would rather clean the toilet. >> gosh no. >> wash a sink full of dirty dishes. >> no. >> or wait in a long check out line. >> absolutely not. >> i love the feeling of itting into clean. >> do you do it every morning? >> no but some time during the day i do. you're ma mission, you could mission it disappear. >> they say when grow to the dentist and the dentist asks you "do you floss?" most people go "yes." but here's the thing, the

you're a diligent worker. you do everything your boss asks you and you never hear complaints yet time and time again that promotion goes to one of your co-workers instead of to you. >> if that sounds familiar, a new survey by careerbuilder.com may have some answers. it asked managers about physical and behavioral factors that can hold you back. >> here to weigh in is suzy welch, wife of jack welch is former chairman of ge. their book together is "the real life mba." you're always pleasant to be with but you give us sound advice. >> and a lot of people aring looing for. >> it so let's get started. people feel frustrated. you say it can be as simple as your physical appearance.

>> there's so many different reasons why people get stuck in career purgatory. a lot of times they're not self-aware enough to know. bosses let down their guard and say look i'm less likely to promote somebody for these reasons that we never talk about. we talk about results and performance, we don't talk about these things. >> so clothing is important what's a turnoff? >> when you are provocative or wrinkle wrinkled you're saengd message you never left the house. you're saying i'm at home, many i head isn't here. i always tell people be more toned down, a little more dressed up than you'd like to be because there's a line between work and home. >> and a pushup bra is not a good idea for certain careers. >> and if you're not sure look at a female who's succeeded and mirror a bit of what -- >> yes, dress for the next job. that's an oldie but goody. >> grooming. >> that's a huge one.

>> it's fine to have tattoos and a big beard and wear make if you please your boss is doing it. and this is individualism. people sometimes want to let -- you know that old song "let your freak flag fly." it's fine to be an individual as long as you're at a company where that's celebrated. but if you're the only one that way, understand it could be a career blocker for you unless your performance is spectacular then things are forgiven. this wasn't a huge one in terms of numbers. there were ones that came in bigger but you have to be careful. >> this is something you ought to be aware of. smell. >> these are two things bad breath and heavy perfumes, this makes it hard for people to be in the room with you. you do a lot of stuff at work in the room making it very hard. one of the reasons why people don't know about, this it's hard to talk about it. have you ever tried to tell someone they have bad breath? >> i usually offer them a mint. >> but they don't hear it. so listen for that. understand you're working closely with people and this goes on you have to be listening for signals. people try to tell you in subtle

ways. >> so this could stop you from getting a pro ocean? >> 22%. it was a problem. not as big as others but you want to be aware of this. >> this doesn't have body odor on it, that's the whole other thing, too. >> that's another thing, too. that's very hard to talk about with bosses. >> somebody's attitude. >> this is the biggie. this is the biggie. 62% of the bosses said they'd be less likely to promote you with two attitudes that are really contagious. when you're overly negative, who are you negative about? they start talking about the company or the customers. that's when they're gossiping. if you're snarking. try to go to work for two days and not be negative and not gossip and see how hard it is for you. realize how much you do this. if it undermines productivity and cream work and creativity. try not doing it for two days. >> this is interesting. people who waste time time
