fires overnight. gabe gutierrez is in oklahoma city this morning with more. gabe, good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. oklahoma's governor declared a state of emergency for 22 counties, the strong winds that fueled wild fires in this state and others are moving east claiming more lives. the powerful winds wreaking havoc across a large swath of the country. gusts reportedly reaching up to 70 miles an hour according to the national weather service. in upstate new york a wind tearing down trees and power lines, blocking roads and stranding drivers in rochester, near buffalo the gusts causing this freight train derailment knocking 20 cars off the tracks. in ohio, dangerous driving, multiple tractor-trailers up ended. and in southwest detroit the wind causing this plane carrying the university of michigan men's basketball team to slide off a runway during aborted takeoff. the aircraft heavily damaged.

the team scrambling out of emergency exits. in another part of the detroit the wind fanned a deadly blaze at an apartment building that killed five people. roofs also ripped off building, at one point more than a million people in michigan had no power. that same storm system fueling wild fires burning out of control in several states. the flames now chewing through more than a million acres in oklahoma and kansas alone. wild fires claimed at least six lives so far. today authorities here in oklahoma hope the improving conditions will help firefighters. put what they really need is more rain. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you. >> the race to find out who is behind that massive wikileaks documents dump that appears to expose hacking into phones tvs and secure messaging apps. the fbi launching its own investigation searching for those responsible. we're covering it all beginning

with andrea mitchell. >> good morning. wikileaks founder in london this morning saying the documents came from cia cyber headquarters in virginia. and in outpost in frankfurt. this morning both the fbi and cia scrambling to find out who is behind what could be the worst breach of u.s. intelligence in recent history. thousands of documents posted by wikileaks, which it says reveals the cia's secret play pook for hacking. not commenting on whether the stolen documents are authentic. but one senior u.s. official telling nbc news they do contain authentic top secret information. >> at the end of the day what this does is reveal not just u.s. capabilities but gives a road map to america's enemies as to not only how to defend against these capabilities but also how to use them. >> potential fallout terrorists and other adversaries now know

how the cia hacks their smart phones, smart tvs and computers. even getting into encrypted apps. still the biggest question who did it? two sources tell nbc news russia is a major focus given moscow's ties to wikileaks and the hacked e-mails in the 2016 campaign. how did it happen? was the cia hacked, was it an outside contractor? as wikileaks claims, or the nightmare scenario for the cia, a mole in the agency. former officials saying the hunt if it's an inside source likely involves checking operatives travel schedules, contacts, bank accounts. another critical concern how badly has the leak compromised the cia's mission. especially alarming as wikileaks claims they released only 1% of what they have. the cia officials knew there was a breach last year but didn't know what it was. with relations already strained between the trump administration and the intelligence community,

at the white house more criticism. >> this is the kind of disclosure that undermines our country, our security, and our well being. >> assange sclamed that the cia lost control of its arsenal bragging it's an act of historic incompetent. russia's foreign minister denying any involvement. the president will meet with the cia director. >> andrea mitchell, thanks. >> jeremy at the cia and the pentagon now an nbc news national security analyst, jeremy, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> obviously this investigation is just getting started. but many peopl such as yours think russia may be behind it. what's the argument there? why are they a suspect? >> well, savannah, you touch a document inside the cia you leave digital fingerprints. anybody who down loaded or accessed this they become a suspect. so i think we'll be able to figure out who inside might be a suspect. but two things lead me to think about russia. first, they have a connection to

wikileaks, wikileaks has become an agent of the russian federation. and second, tensions between the intelligence community and russia are all time high because of russia interference in our election. >> so jeremy, let's talk about the possibility that andrea brought up which is that it is a mole inside the cia, in other words not a whistle-blower but working on behalf of a foreign entity but is employed by the cia. how plausible do you find that? >> i think it's a situation that investigators will take seriously. it took eight years to find aldridge aims who gave away many of our assets. we don't have the time and luxury to wait eight years. people have to come close to an investigative target and crack down on this fast. >> to be clear, as you well know the hacking tools in the cia's arsenal were used to monitor and surveil adversaries overseas but now it's out. the question is are americans potentially vulnerable to these

hacking techniques used on them? >> i don't think so, savannah. cia operations are conducted overseas against america's terrorists, weapons, against our adversaries, not directed at americans. and once these vulnerabilities if you will in our security devices are out there, the device makers can shore up their defenses. so i think americans devices are not at risk. >> jeremy bash, thank you. >> thanks. turning to president trump and the ongoing debate over his claim he was wire tapped during the campaign by former president obama. we're learning that intelligence agencies may soon be slapped with subpoenas as lawmakers look for evidence supporting the president's claim. this as president trump revealed he's tapped the next u.s. ambassador to russia. peter has more on this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. the white house as you noted challenged congress to investigate president trump's claim that president obama wire

tapped his phones. two members of the committee a democrat and a republican are demanding answers. this morning bipartisan calls for the department of justice to offer proof of president trump's claims that president obama wire tapped his headquarters. >> president obama administration targeted his campaign, trump tower. i have no knowledge of that but he's challenged the congress to help him so let's help. >> reporter: two senators asking in a letter to james comey that the department of justice provide copies of warrant applications and court orders related to wire taps of president trump, the trump campaign or trump tower. graham telling casey hunt that they will subpoena if necessary. >> there is no reason not to give it to us. all we're asking for was a warrant issued. if they don't give it to us, yes, i'll subpoena it. >> reporter: it comes as the quhous clarifying its position over whether or not the president was the target of a counter intelligence investigation.

press secretary sean spicer saying this when first asked about it. >> is the president the target of a counter intelligence investigation? >> i think that's what we need to find out. >> reporter: less than 20 minutes later after being handed a piece of paper by an aide spicer circles back. >> i want to be really clear on one point which is there is no reason that we should -- that we have to think that the president is the target of any investigation. whatsoever. >> reporter: now for the first time we're hearing how former president barack obama is reacting to the you be substantiated wire tapping claims. a source close to the former president telling nbc news he rolled his eyes and believes the claims undermine the office of the president. president trump's man in moscow jon huntsman, the former utah governor offered the job to be the next u.s. ambassador to russia according to a white house official with the source close to huntsman telling he's accepted. in may mr. huntsman endorsed mr. trum but called on him to with

trau following the revelation of the "access hollywood" tape where mr. trump is caught on a hot mike bragging about grabbing women without their consent. apparently the two billionaires now mended fenceman with huntsman to task a sensitive relationship. mr. trump had been a critic of jon huntsman mocking him on twitter as a light weight and weak. the senate still has to confirm governor huntsman but he sail through the process before in 2009. he was confirmed as president obama's ambassador to china. >> a lot of complicated relationships in washington these days. thanks. >> as we mentioned there was a dangerous situation overnight when tens of millions of americans found themselves unable to dial 911, this was a massive nationwide outage for at&t customers. and authorities were not happy about it. this morning the fcc is investigating the cause and nbc's jo ling kent is on the story for us. good morning.

>> good morning. last night many at&t wireless customers couldn't get through to 911 services from their cell phones forcing law enforcement agencies to alert residents about alternatives for any emergency. when at&t wireless customers tried to dial 911 they got a busy signal instead. some areas may have been without the emergency service for more than three hours. it quickly became evident this was a nation widep problem for the second largest carrier in the country. law enforcement agencies from the east coast through parts of the south and out west urged using local numbers. the fire chief in orange county, florida said the outage was much more than inconvenience. >> the majority of our calls come through cell phones. it's not a land based system. so it's grafbly concerning to us. >> reporter: in pennsylvania the issue may have delayed emergency services from getting to a person with a medical issue. >> we know of one instance where there was a serious medical emergency where the caller was

unable to get through at about 9:00 tonight. which caused about a 10 or 15-minute delay. finally they were able to use a land line to connect. >> reporter: at&t confirmed the outage before 10:00 eastern time and in a statement to nbc said we are aware of the service issue affecting some calls to 1 911 customers. we apologize for this. a little over 90 minutes later the company tweeted saying that the issue had been resolved and apologized to those affected. some responded. unacceptable my humble opinion twresponse to a post. captain call 911 pathetic. i be needing more than apology another tweeted. the head of the federal communications commission also tweeting the agency will investigate the root cause and its am pact. at&t not yet commenting on what exactly caused the problem put we know local number desire work in many cases so never a bad

idea to look those up, keep them handy in case this happens again. >> thank you. >> now to an overnight arrest in tennessee in connection with the murder of a nashville nurse. 24-year-old man now facing charges in the case that made headlines across the nation. thomas roberts is here with more. good morning. >> good morning to you. yes, this was a community in shock and mourning after the loss of a beloved nurse tiffany ferguson killed in a brutal stabbing in her apartment. now, police say they have arrested the man responsible and are thanking the community for helping them find him. this morning police say the search for the hooded figure in this surveillance video is over. >> all the detectives our patrol divisions and precincts so it's overwhelming support. >> christopher mclawhorn has been charged with criminal homicide and especially aggravated burglary in connection with the murder of nashville nurse tiffany ferguson. >> we believe he was trying

apartment doors looking for access and this door was open to him. and during the course of the burglary of miss ferguson he committed a murder. >> he was identified as a person of interest on sunday when he was arrested for misdemeanor drug possession. >> she really had a heart for nursing. >> kelsey was her roommate and fellow nurse. >> we felt safe, we never felt like anything like this could happen. >> so safe she says the college friends planned to sign a new year-long lease later that same day. ferguson worked at this nashville hospital for a year as an intensive care nurse after graduating from college in alabama. as friends and families gathered at her funeral saturday police were conducting an all-out manhunt for her killer. >> miss ferguson was a beloved member of the community, was somebody who served others and her passing and her murder was

something that truly shook this community and this area. >> a community still shaken, now looking for closure. so mclawhorn has previous arrests for public intoxication, theft, there has been no word from the ferguson family but police say the community is hopeful that they can rest a little easier after this. again, this has been a month they have been on high alert. >> crime committed aparptly totally at random. awful story. thanks so much. swing it over to al who is already at the weather wall. you have big news. >> right. we're looking at a couple of snowstorms coming one right on top of the other. snow already from the dakotas in to southern minnesota, it's going to cause strong storms down to the south of missouri and arkansas but the northeast is going to see travel trouble as we move through tomorrow morning going into the morning rush hour between 5 and 7:00 a.m. a snowfall amounts not that great and in fact mostly i think going to be on grassy surfaces but the rush hour so people may have problems.

maybe some airport delays. then saturday strong storms to the south, but as you get up in kansas, st. louis, nashville, this on saturday into sunday moves into the mid-atlantic states, we're going to be looking for the heaviest snow in the south central appalachians, but also back through the plains we're talking from 4 to 6 inches of snow, it pushes down south into springfield, st. louis, heavier snow in the eastern parts of kentucky, western parts of north carolina, and then we expect to see mild conditions to move back in. but in the meantime, looking at pretty decent snow going into the weekend. we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. and with safelite's exclusive "on my way text" she knew exactly when i'd be there, so she didn't miss a single shot. i replaced her windshield giving her more time for what matters most. tech: how'd ya do? player: we won! tech: nice!

bottom of the ocean floor. so, for me, it was like, it's practical. i'm not going to be able to have touch-ups once i have the helmet on. i must shave my head. >> they didn't ask? you volunteered? >> i wanted to do this for a long time for novel sake. at some point in your life you want to be able to do that. and the director suggested it. i was like -- that's a great idea. you know. you should take credit for that one. and i am game. >> not a hard sell. you wear it well. >> does it live up to expectations? feels good? >> it feels amazing. i just want to head bang all day. >> roll out of bed, you're good to go. >> all right. let's talk about this movie. i watched it last night. it is so good. your performance is incredible. and it's a very -- i don't know if solitary is the right word. but loney performance. an american in paris story. you have working as a personal shopper with someone you don't have much interaction with. how do you describe the

character? >> she is isolated. she's a foreigner in every sense of the world. she's living in paris. she's an american. but she's also in the midst of the most devastating grief and loss. she lost her twin brother. and it feels like a fractured half of a person. she can't interact with the normal default setting that everyone exists in because she doesn't understand what existence is. therefore, she can't exist until she rebuilds herself after that devastating loss. >> it must have been an incredibly challenging role to inhabit. and i know you did it right after you did "cafe society." and in that film, you were this full of life character. was it a little whiplash in terms of going from one to the next? >> yeah. absolutely. i had three days between to go from that character to the next. and yeah. there was no way to prepare for that part because she is a newborn. there is no individuality that

defines her. she is just sort of shell-shocked. in the midst of an existential crisis. also includes the question of the afterlife and whether or not we are alone at the end of the day. or if there's some connection that we have that you could call spirituality. >> it's a thriller. kind of a ghost story. are you a believer in ghosts yourself? were you into the material? >> the movie is scary. i think it's scary because it's lofty and heady. you know, the ghostly aspects are confronting in a really sort of realistic way. not in a way that's like, what dead person is coming to talk to me. >> no casper. no casper the friendly ghost. >> that's scarer a er ascarier head down and say, i'm never going to know anything. we don't know why we're here.
