metro d.c. the bomb squad is run by the fire department with a small fleet of remotely controlled robots. >> our main mission is to render a situation safe so instead of putting a bomb technician into harm's way, we'll send a robot. >> reporter: since 9/11, many police departments have beefed up their firepower. some departments criticized for showing up at lawful demonstrations in armored personnel carriers with semiweapons. now for the first time using a remotely controlled robot to set off a plastic explosive. >> police departments all over the country should be very careful how they use these kinds of technologies. confronting our own civilians with military-style equipment is probably the biggest problem here. >> reporter: veteran cops say you can't second-guess the dallas pd. >> in a case with this many policemen killed and shot, center of a major american city with all of these crisis facing

them and possibly more bombs, it was the right decision if that unique location of a parking garage on that unique day. >> reporter: dallas chief brown -- >> i have former s.w.a.t. experience here in dallas. you have to trust your people to make the calls necessary to save their lives. it's their lives at stake. not these critics lives who are in the comfort of their homes or offices. >> reporter: nypd commissioner bill bratton said dallas made the right call but he also says there needs to be a more public discussion before robot bombs become a more widely used police tactic. back to you. >> interesting discussion. tom, thank you. coming up on "trending" what does this building look like to you? we'll discuss it at length. the story behind that design has people talking. >> first, the new claims of sexual harassment against fox news ceo are

allegations against fox news ceo roger ailes. >> nbc's senior legal correspondent cynthia mcfadden has been following this for us. good morning. >> the case gets uglier and uglier by the day. fox news saying a clause in gretch gretchen carlson's contract requires her to go to private arbitration to settle a lawsuit and her lawyer says it doesn't apply to ailes. it's been five days since gretchen carlson delivered her bombshell lawsuit accusing fox news chairman roger ailes of sexually harassing here and then firing her when she refused his advances. quoting ailes as saying, "i think you and i should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago." adding that "sometimes problems are easier to solve that way." since then a number of women have come forward regarding

their experiences with the head of the cable giant. some positive. some not. boyle told new york magazine in 1989 she declined ailes proposition in a car when she was 29 years old. she was up for a job with the republican national committee when she says he told her, "you know, if you want to play with the big boys, you have to lay with the big boys." the next morning she says ailes asked her if she changed her mind. she said no. the job didn't come through. she says a friend at the rnc told her, "word went out you weren't to be hired." boyle told nbc news she stands by her account. also included, five other women making similar allegations about ailes though none has been independently confirmed by nbc news. >> it depends ultimately on the judge but a lot of the times judges do not like to introduce evidence of other sexual harassment cases because it clouds up the case. >> reporter: meanwhile, several

current high profile fox anchors have stepped forward to defend ailes including maria bartiromo who was quoted in "variety" as saying i have known roger ailes for 25 years. i've known him to be nothing but a professional. similarly, two others told "the new york times" they have long-term working relationships with ailes and said neither witnessed the kind of behavior claimed by carlson. legal experts point out it is unusual that carlson is only suing ailes and that fox is not named in the suit. fox provided nbc news with a series of handwritten letters from carlson to ailes in which carlson gives no indication she's feeling harassed. this from a letter dated five days after the complaint alleges ailes harassed her. i've been a loyal employee who has worked really hard at fox for more than ten years. i would love to stay at fox and show you everything i can do. >> they are very damaging. you would be surprised how forgiving jurors are for people

who are about to lose their job. >> late last night we heard from mr. ailes' personal lawyer. "it has become obvious that ms. carlson and her lawyer are desperately trying to litigate this in the press because they have no legal case to argue. the latest allegations all 30 to 50 years old. our fault." >> we'll see what happens in a courtroom if it gets there. thank you. switching gears, the big hint did just drop about a spice girls reunion. and pokeman go ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

you. >> my favorite interview of all time. >> this is a match made in heaven it seems to me. how did you get together and how did this idea come about? >> i had this song called "love make the world go round" for maybe eight months. i loved the song. i loved the hook. and when everything happened in orlando, kind of heard it in a different way for the first time. the world needs this right now. the world really needs the message of love being the answer. that's what really matters. that's what makes the world go round. nothing else. hate, anger, won't get us anywhere. so i decided that it needed a little rework. i wanted to put somebody on the bridge and great names came up and then lin's name came up. that's it. i had seen his speech on the tony's and thought he's a perfect person to do this with me. he said i have no time. i said we have to do this. i have to get on the phone with him. we did. once we spoke, he was, like,

absolutely. i'll do this. i want to do this. and here we are. >> that speech was incredible at the tony's. as you were giving it in the room, what did it feel like to you? >> it was a crazy day any way and to have that happen that morning was all on my mind as we were getting ready to perform at the tony's and have this night celebrate theater that became this different thing. i just wanted to sort of meet the moment and express what was on my mind and so when jen got in touch, it just felt like knowing what jen represents to the latino community and lgbt community, that's the music that's playing in every club in orlando. it felt like the perfect sort of way to amplify that message, message of the song and do something good for people. >> it's a movement. a moment to quote "hamilton" back to you. that was my segue. you had your last performance on saturday. >> a relaxing monday morning.

>> got to sleep in. you should go on vacation but that's because i'm selfish where you came up with "hamilton" in the first place during a vacation. how do you feel? >> i feel great. it was a very moving night. the paradox of performing "hamilton" is it's the most relaxing part of my day. for 2 hours and 45 minutes, i'm with this amazing group of actors. and all i have to do is be hamilton. in real life we're on our phones and doing a million things. that night was so special. so many friends and family in the audience and so many friends and family on stage. it was just an incredible night. >> who in the audience had the scissors? >> we had been plotting for two weeks. at 11:00, we cut it off. >> you were there for the last show. how was it? >> such an emotional night. all of the words had a different weight.

i had seen it before. i took my kids this time because they know a lot of the songs from the show already. it was just one of those magical moments on stage that is history making. it was great. >> we know you lost the hair. did you keep any souvenirs? anything that wasn't nailed down, i would take the outfits, the set. >> the show has to go on. >> this is his baby. >> first of all, i have to make sure security checks for you. nail everything down. but, no, you know, i'm going to go back and see the show tonight. it's my show. the fun for me is now i get to sit out in the house and see the show. i hear great things. i hear it's pretty good. i'm excited to be the writer. >> let's go back to this collaboration. just watching you guys perform that, how special to have 50 survivors, families, you could feel it. you have done a million shows,

jennifer. there was special in the 3 1/2 minutes. >> when we sat down to write it, we wrote it in 20 minutes. the reworking of the lyrics to make it specifically for this message and i don't know. every time we listen to it, we get teary. my god. there's something going on here. we just knew that it would be a much needed message in this moment and to have all of the survivors out there, it was just -- they're all looking at me with tears in their eyes listening to each one of the words and me being able to know that this was in some way helping them not just with the message of the song but also because of the charity. all of the proceeds are going to the orlando fund. >> it was created by a hispanic foundation and the money will go to mental health services for families of the victims and the greater orlando community. >> it's a great song.

great message and great cause. thank you so much for being here. such a pleasure. let me take a selfie. do you have your phone with you? during a commercial. we got it next. we can't help it. we're thrilled to have you both here.

the sale through october 5th will go to the hispanic federation for the orlando fund, orlando survivors and relatives of the victims were jieoined on the plaza. a woman had a quilt that she was holding with faces of all of the victims who lost their lives that day. beautiful tribute. j. lo said it was a song she had for some time and after the massacre in orlando it took on a new meaning for her and she wanted to freshen it up in her words and she called the one and only lin-manuel miranda to give it a new edge to it. it's so special. >> i had my phone out. it was such a powerful moment. and then once everybody started waving the flags. it was one of those things where you could almost feel it. you could feel the energy of it. the strength of it. >> what was incredible was standing on the stage looking out at the people knowing

survivors were in the audience. i was recognizing them when we went through news coverage and these are people telling us the stories from their hearts. they had tears in their eyes and they were standing there and could embrace the moment. >> it's important, again, that these proceeds go to the families that are still trying to piece together and how do you piece something together when you lost someone forever, a piece of the fiber of your family. incredible. j. lo is brilliant as always. lin miranda with his final show. it has been a difficult time in dallas. we watched what happened in louisiana and minnesota. this is a very difficult time to say the least for our nation so to see j. lo on the front line not just being a celebrity but being a human.

love is what we need. >> bring people together. >> something else, speaking of powerful moments and coming together, can we talk about the u.s. women's gymnastics team. i'm so excited for usa and the fierce five. natalie morales in the thick of it all. we know who is headed to the olympics next month. >> it was so good here last night. i got to tell you, you can see confetti still on the ground behind me. there was so much tension in this building. people on the edge of their seats. a packed house here at the s.a.p. san jose arena. i got to tell you, we know who the fierce five are. a lot of names you probably recognize. simone biles, three-time world champion. everybody expected her to be here of course. she locked that top spot last night blowing away everyone here. she's headed to rio along with veterans gabby douglas, who struggled a little bit, i have to say, here in the trials. and she though making the team.

she redeemed herself last night and aly raisman also a former member of the fierce five. they're headed back to rio hoping to defend their team gold and joining them we have newcomers on the scene. madison kocian so solid especially on uneven bars. and then the newest breakout star of these games. when she was out here last night, the crowd yelling her name. laurie hernandez just 16 years old already making a name for herself. i talked to her last night. she was just 12 years old when she watched the fierce five compete in london. here's what she had to say when she talked about how much she idolized these now teammates of her. >> four years really does make a big difference. four years ago at 2012, i was this little kid struggling on the daily trying to --

>> asking for autographs. >> did you get their autographs? >> i don't think so. >> now you're teammates. >> crazy to look back. these amazing superstars now and we can be together on a team. >> so what do you do when you're just named to the u.s. olympic team? well, you have a dance off in the locker room. that's what the girls did. laurie hernandez tweeting this out last night along with teammates aly raisman and simone biles. from here, it is hard work ahead. they've got just 25 days to go counting down to rio. ten days they'll spend in intense training as a team rather than as just competitors against one another. you're going to see those girls an awful lot in rio. >> work hard, play hard.

>> thank you, natalie. i went to the training facility before they were preparing for this. it's just intense. in a very loving way. they are so fun. i told dylan she has a lot in common with simone. not just athleticism, joke, joke, the love of zac efron. simone, she'll e-mail me directly after this. she loves zac efron. she's flipping and practicing and i would say zac efron. >> i'm not that bad. >> you both have the giggles. zac efron rules the world. >> i don't know if you saw this earlier today, on saturday there was a baseball fan watching a game and she was trying to catch a foul ball. it can be tough. there are ways to catch a foul ball. some catch it in their cup. some people hold baby to the side. she didn't stand a chance.

this poor woman. san francisco giants versus arizona diamondbacks. she holds up her tray. i mean, there are hot dogs and beer and everything on this tray and the ball just -- >> i'm not convinced she was trying to catch it. i think she was trying to protect her face. >> here we go. >> i see what you mean. >> here's some advice. next time that happens, if you just drop the tray a little bit and give a little give, there's a chance maybe everything won't splash all over. you have to give with the ball. >> give with the ball. >> i want to practice it but they said we can't in this particular area because of this equipment that we have. >> you give with it. >> great advice, dylan. >> i don't like when people have to waste food or beer. >> what do we have going on with the forecast? >> some showers and storms. heavy rain. lots of cloud to ground lightning to the west of st. cloud. brace yourself. we'll see strong storms move

through shortly. later this afternoon another round of storms develop through minnesota. we could end up with isolated tornadoes and eastern nebraska and western iowa we could see some very large hail. tomorrow, this whole threat will spread farther to the east across the western great lakes extending into parts of the midwest. hail and damaging winds a possibility and something to watch out for eac san francisco and the bay area the temperature now at 64 degrees. and we're seeing some mid- to upper 60s as our temperatures continue to warm. it will be a very warm afternoon reaching into the upper 80s for the inland valleys. 74 and 68 degrees in the mission district. in the north bay expect a high of 90 in fairfield. also 86 degrees in pittsburgh. and danville today a high of 77 degrees. >> and that's your latest forecast. >> someone just wrote the jazz

the audience keeps growing and it makes it harder to write each book because every time i sit down at the computer. okay. this is not just a hundred kids i thought would read it. it's like a million kids. there's a lot of pressure to please them. >> have you always loved the writing and acting. you're doing both. >> as a kid i loved playing pretend. it wasn't until later someone had to tell me they are two different arts. they've been with me ever since i was a kid. >> since it's about the kids, we got a few viewers to give us a question. we picked out one from adriana. she's 9 years oweld. >> why did alex and connor have to go through so many challenges just to make the spell? >> a young journalist from msnbc there. she's very frustrated. >> they had to go through a lot of challenges to make the story fun and adventurist. i apologize for the trouble.

>> how do you navigate those waters? >> they have no filter. if they don't like a sentence, they'll tell you right to your face. it's hysterical and again lots of pressure. >> this is a series that seems like it's setting itself up for a good blockbuster movie. do you have anyone in mind for the main character? >> originally i was so against it. i would rather it be a good book that 100 people read than a terrible movie 100,000 people saw. the kids come up to me and they demand a movie. i no longer have that option. >> it's a done deal. people have spoken. >> right. so i think it's definitely going to happen. right now i'm taking my time to make sure it's with the right people and it's also a good movie and why make a movie that can't be a good movie. >> between writing bestselling novels, you found time to maintain your acting career. this is huge. you'll appear in a new film.

hands down, it was, that's who i was. after one week of chantix, i knew i could quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side-affect is nausea. life as a non-smoker is a whole lot of fun. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

do it for 20 to 30 minutes. it will steam the meat inside and give it a smoky delicious flavor. when it's done, we will make our sauce which goes on top of the eggplant. you want to put fresh lemon juice in there. we'll put garlic in there. we'll put some ice water because that will keep it nice and velvety and light and then mix it together. season it with salt. there you have it. >> you have your eggplant. now we want to garnish this. this is where you can get really creative. we have our beautiful sauce. >> you can go to today.com/food for the entire recipe. finish it off with lemon. >> delicious. go to our website. thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> they started out singing on a boston street corner. it's true. the foursome known as lake street dive have a new number street dive have a new number one album and our
