welcome to "today" on a monday. a monday of what promises to be a very eventful week. >> a lot of countdowns. you talked about a countdown to a potential government shut jdo. the 100-day mark for the trump administration. and north korea. let us set the stage for you. today, president trump welcomes in the u.n. security council the white house for an unprecedented meeting. high on the list of priorities, north korea, syria and u.s. cuts to u.n. funding. we'll talk about that more with the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley, in a moment. budget battles will dominate. the white house releases its tax reform plan on wednesday, while congress faces a friday deadline to pass a new spending package, if it wants to avoid a government shutdown. here's another thing to watch out for on friday. president trump's address to the nra's annual leadership forum. we have complete coverage, starting with kristen welker this morning.

>> reporter: good morning to you. president trump has been downplaying the significance of the first 100-day mark. telling the associated press it's not meaningful. countering that, a flurry of activity, aimed at raking up more wins. health care and vowing to introduce a tax plan. but looming over it, that potential government shutdown set for friday. with donald trump's presidency approaching the 100-day mark, the president and his aides are sounding a triumphant note. >> he is fulfilling his promises and doing it at breakneck speed. >> reporter: but the new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll, tells a different story. with 45% of americans, he's off to a poor start. his job approval rating now stands at 40%, the lowest of any president in the history of the poll. still, an nbc neabc news/"washi post" poll, says he is holding firm with his base. on twitter, the president calling the polls, very good,

considering much of the media is fake and almost always negative. all this as washington faces a looming deadline. if congress can't pass a budget deal by friday, the government will shut down. >> the government's going to stay open? >> i believe it will. >> reporter: one of the sticking points, republicans are looking to include funding for the president's border wall in the spending bill, a signature trump campaign promise. >> who is going to pay for that ball? >> mexico. >> reporter: the president suggesting u.s. taxpayers may need to make a downpayment, tweeting sunday, eventually, but at a later date, so we can get started early, mexico will be paying in some form for a badly needed wall. democrats taking a hard line against the wall. >> the wall is immoral, expensive, unwise. >> reporter: some republicans warning to letting the issue shut down the government. >> the last thing we can afford is to send a message to the world that the united states

government is only partially functioning. >> reporter: this comes as the white house is attempting to resuscitate the failed attempt at health care reform. >> we're hopeful this week. but it's not something that has to happen to define our success. >> reporter: and today, former president barack obama, who has been vacationing, is coming off the sidelines, hosting a discussion about community organizing in chicago. obama's first public appearance, just days before the commander in chief marks a milestone. mr. obama met with at-risk young men in chicago. in terms of his message, aides say don't expect the president to criticize president trump. but he will advocate for his policies. as for mr. trump, expect this week to be a run-up to saturday's 100-day mark. today, he is going to hold that undecemb unprecedented white house meeting with the u.n. security council. >> kristen welker where they're

tidying up this morning. the world is reacting to a critical election in france. two outsiders have won the preliminary round of voting. richard engel is in paris for us. hi, richard. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. french voters rejected the establishment. there were 11 candidates. they've been whittled down to two. and the ruling parties that have governed in france from the left and the right for decades were thrown out. amid high security, millions came out to vote across france. turnout was 78%, in what's considered the most important election in decades. and it was a nail-biter. too close to call until the results came in. emmanuel macron is now the front-runner to be the next french president. this is his first campaign. supporters are hoping the 39-year-old banker from the center-left can bring a new life

and energy to france. we will win it, he promised. long live france. he faces his polar opposite, marine le pen, from the far right. trailing by a few percent, le pen is anti-immigration, wants out of the e.u., to drop the euro, and taking a page out of the strategy book from president trump. it's time for the french people to be free of the arrogant elite, she said, promising to close borders and stop terrorism. the two candidates will face each other in a runoff in two weeks. analysts say macron has the clearest path to victory and that following trump may have actually worked against le pen. >> trump was a counterexample for france. people have been looking at the -- what's happening in the u.s., with very critical eyes. >> reporter: now, with two weeks to go, france is at a cross roads. there has been a trend in global

politics towards nationalism. first with brexit, and then president trump's election. france can be where that trend comes to an end. >> richard engel, in paris, thank you. there's new tension this morning between the u.s. and north korea. the regime is now threatening to sink a u.s. aircraft carrier. and over the weekend, it detained an american citizen, as he was preparing to leave that country. nbc's kelly cobiella, is in seoul, south korea, with the latest on this. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: a lot of talking overnight, matt. the leaders of both japan and china speaking to president donald trump by phone. the choinese leader urging restraint on all sides, as "the uss carl vinson" comes closer to the peninsula. college student otto warmbier, and now, a professor. the north korean university where he worked said his name is

tony kim. and he was detained at pyongyang airport saturday, leaving the country after several weeks of service teaching. and his detention is not connected to his work at the university. kim is in his 50s. was doing aide work and was with his wife at the airport when the north koreans took him away. another bargaining chip, says former ambassador, bill richardson, who has helped free prisoners before and is working on warmbier's case. >> we've been able to deal with the father and the grandfather and the old regime. but under kim jong-un, he detains americans, he's detained three now. but we don't know what he wants in return. he doesn't communicate on that level. >> reporter: instead, more threats. the regime sunday warning it's combat-ready to sink a u.s. afr aircraft carrier. and threatening australia with a nuclear strike, as vice president mike pence wrapped up a two-day trip there.

>> all options are on the table. >> reporter: this morning as "the uss carl vinson" heads towards the korean peninsula, south korea is talking to washington about holding joint drills. the region on-edge, unsure of what north korea's supreme leader will do next. there's a lot of speculation and concern that north korea could carry out either its sixth nuclear test or a missile test some time this week. china has warned north korea not to do either. meantime, we have that big meeting at the white house today. all 15 members of the united nations security council set to visit. matt? savannah? >> all right, kelly. thank you very much. nikki haley, the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, joining us now. ambassador haley, good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. >> i want to talk about the american being detained in north korea in a second. but when you take that ziincide

and you combine it with a threat to sink a u.s. aircraft carrier and a threat to conduct a nuclear strike against australia. when you and your counterparts meet this morning, what can you come up with to rein in north korea that hasn't been tried in the past and haven't failed in the past? >> kim jong-un is starting to flex his muscles because he feels the pressure. last week the security council unanimously contempted what north korea is doing with their testing. china has been helping putting pressure on him. and he's trying to show strength to his country. >> we've been talking about containing north korea for decades now and what's not working. what new can you come up with? >> working with china for the first time, they've really been our partner in holding him at bay. it's a new day when you have china and the united states working together on a statement to condemn north korea. they put pressure on him. he feels it. that's why he's responding this way. an i think it is a different

day. what we said from the beginning and i will continue to say, the united states is not looking for a fight. don't give us a reason to have one. >> it's interesting that you say that the you think he's responding to the pressure by flexing muscle, by conducting more nuclear tests. i don't have to tell you, you have an unstabled ed adversary there. does the tough talk and the rhetoric, if china doesn't help us here, we may do it ourselves. we may consider a pre-emptive strike. do you worry about the point of no return with words? >> no. that's not the case. and keep in mind, he's trying to get the confidence of his own te people. when he does these things, he's not doing them to all of us, as much as he's trying to prove to his own people he can handle this. he's very much starting to feel the pressure. you're starting to see him get paranoid. and i think you'll see pressure coming from all parts of the community. and we have to keep the pressure up. >> i whi that savannah is getting at, when you have

someone as unstable as kim jong-un, do you worry that words might force him into a catastrophic mistake? >> no. and i think if you look at what's happening now, if there's a catastrophic mistake it's going to be because he's continuing to instigate an issue. we're going to continue to be stable. we're going to continue to have the international community stable. it's the reason that none of us are even trying to pick a fight with him. but we'll have to wait and see. what i can tell you is the international community is very united. >> ambassador haley, every leader says all options are on the table. they always say that. is a pre-emptive strike against north korea being considered? is the administration actively planning for that? >> we're not going to do anything unless he gives us reason to do something. so, our goal -- >> that's what reason? what would that reason be? do you have that threshold in your mind? >> if you see him attack a military base. if you see an intercontinental ballistic missile, obviously, we're going to do that. right now, we're saying don't

test. don't use nuclear missiles. don't do anymore actions. and i think he's understanding that. and china is helping put that pressure on. >> if he tests another intercontinental ballistic missile, if he were to test another nuclear device, you say, obviously, we're going to do that, do you mean military retaliation? >> i think then the president steps in and decides what's going to happen. >> let me ask you real quickly before i leave you. do you have any information on this american being detained? his whereabouts or why he's being detained? >> it's hard to get information out of north korea, obviously. we're doing everything we can. this makes three detainees that they have right now. and again, this is him trying to pick a fight with us. and what we're going to have to do is work very hard to find out information and see what we need to do to get the three out safely. >> ambassador nikki haley. ambassador, always nice to see you. >> thanks so much. breaking overnight, u.s. defense secretary, jim mattis, making an unannounced visit to

afghanistan. the trump administration is weighing sending more u.s. troops to that country. his visit comes three days after a taliban attack on a northern afghanistan army base. it killed at least 100 people there. kabul is the final stop on secretary mattis' six-nation tour. it was intended to bolster relationships with allies and partners. there's disturbing information coming to light in the alleged kidnapping of a tennessee teenager by her former teacher. gabe gutierrez is in colombia, tennessee. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. elizabeth thomas' hometown is grateful this nationwide manhunt is over and she is safe. now, we're getting our first insight into why her former teacher says the pair spent more than a month on the run. this morning, elizabeth thomas is being welcome home to columbia, tennessee, with signs and banners.

while the sister of her accused kidnapper, tad cummins, tells us, she talked to her brother three times this weekend. daphne quinn wants everybody to know he's not a monster. >> he's done this horrible thing that he has to pay for. but he's still my brother. and i love him. >> reporter: cummins is scheduled to be arraigned in sacramento on federal kidnapping charges. his sister says he doesn't believe he kidnapped elizabeth. >> i asked him why? why would he do this? and the answer he gave me was, she wanted to run away. and she wanted to leave. and he didn't want her to go alone. and he went with her to know she was safe. >> reporter: the 15-year-old and her former teacher were found is 2,000 miles away in a cabin in northern california, with no electricity or running water. during their 39 days on the run, the bare was caught on surveillance video at an oklahoma walmart.

and police say they stayed at cheap motels with one bed. >> she was traumatized by the whole incident, including the takedown. but she seemed to be in good health. >> reporter: daphne quinn says she does not defend or condone what her brother did. >> i think he would like to get his family back. it hasn't hit him yet that that's not going to happen. he's going to have to learn a new normal. he's got a very long, tedious road ahead of him in a place he's never been. and he's going to have to deal with it. >> reporter: elizabeth thomas' family lawyer says the 15-year-old is now in a safe location. and that she's being evaluated and treated by mental health experts. matt and savannah? >> gabe, thank you very much. let's turn to mr. roker. tell us something good about the weather. >> we've had a lot of rain down in the southeast. that's helped knock out the wildfires in florida. the bad news, is we have rain coming up the east coast. and it's going to be a big, big

airline trying to contain the fall out. >> reporter: another major airline is -- a female paernsh hysterically crying while holding her child on an american airlines flight from san francisco to dal ps. the woman clashing with a male flight attendant over whether she could bring her stroller onboard. >> just give me back my stroller, please. >> reporter: some witnesses reported that it started when the flight attendant ripped the stroller away striking the woman and narrowly missing her child. >> you almost hurt a baby. >> reporter: later a passenger tried to intervene. >> hey, bud, you do that to me, i'll knock you flat. >> reporter: not backing down, the two men got into a screaming match nearly coming to blows. >> we all were in shock. it was a pretty t was pretty insane. i traveled quite a bit. the lack of professionalism from that flight attendant and the fact that then you had this crying woman and her two crying

kids and it was a scene that was just kind of surreal. >> reporter: in a statement, american airlines says what we see on this video does not reflect our vallis or how we care for our customers. we are deeply sorfry the pain we have caused this customer and her family and any other customers affected by is the incident. after arriving in dallas, the airline suspended the flight attendant and upgraded the woman to a first grade seat to her flight home to argentina offering her a $1,000 travel voucher. this latest incident coming two weeks after this famous scene on a united flight. for passenger dr. david dao was dragged off when he refused to give up his seat causing a public relations fiasco. >> look what you did. >> reporter: dr. dao allegedly suffered a broken nose, two broken teeth, sinus injuries and a concussion. three airport security officers were suspended and the united ceo has apologized. >> i also want to apologize to

all our customers. it was a system failure across various areas. never a consideration for firing the employee. >> reporter: the union representing american's flight attendant is urging the public not to jump to conclusions saying it appears another passenger may have threatened a flight attendant with violence, which they say is a violation of federal law and no small matter. meanwhile, united this morning telling nbc news in a fresh statement, it can't apologize enough for the "shameful way dr. dao" was treated. >> the attorney for the passenger dragged off that united flight. good morning. >> good morning. >> before we ask, i have to ask you about the woman at the center of the latest video with the american airlines flight attendant. i understand she contacted you. are you representing her? >> i am. >> what did she tell you about what happened? >> the video that we just saw is a microcosm of the entire problem. we've got a flight attendant out of control. we've got a distressed mother.

we've got a passenger trying to protect that mother. but in the background, we see the pilot and the pilot is concerned. the pilot, when we get on an airplane we sort of want our pilot to be calm, cool, collected as he takes off or she takes off into the skies. so, this is, this is a real, real problem and the mother told me point blank, her concern was her child who almost got hit by the stroller. did not. but almost got hit by the stroller. >> did she get hit by the stroller? >> she did not. she did not. but her fright, if you will, you hear her waling is because her child almost did. >> there's a big difference in that american airline has come out immediately saying we are sorry. this is not the way we behave. that's different than the way united handled your other high-profile case. first of all, how is dr. dao doing physically and emotionally? >> he's hurt.

he's hurt. he really is of the mindset -- go ahead. but he's of the mindset that this is an example and the american airlines incident an example of why we need fairness, dignity and being treated right. >> the reason that dr. dao video resonates with so many people because we all have been in a seat about to take off and if somebody comes up to you and says, you have to get out of that seat. we would react. but is there something we're not seeing? is there a reason it escalated to this point? >> i don't have it, but i'm hoping with all the passengers on that plane we'll eventually have it. we're hoping that dr. dao being taken off that plane like a sack of potatoes, okay, is going to resonate with people and this latest incident with american airlines will resonate with people. we live in the age of cell phone

video. so, corporations have to take heat. >> once and for all, because we all recall that united in the initial days stated that your client, dr. dao had been "belligerent and disruptive." setting aside whether or not in any world that would justify what happened. was he belligerent or disruptive? >> no. there is other video that does show that. he was calmly in his seat. his ticket was accepted, scanned, he boarded. he was seat belted and all the video shows him quietly saying, i want to go home. i'm not getting off. interestingly, you can't do that. after someone is in their seat, that's not the time to say we're overbooked or we need to get an employee from point a to point b. >> have they made you an offer? are you negotiating on a settlement right now?

>> that's not happening right now. >> how much would a face-to-face apology go with the ceo go with dr. dao? >> mr. nunoz had that opportunity to publicly, first of all, apologize, and he did t didn't. and then he called the doctor belligerent and then he finally said, may aso i think we're past stage. >> we're out of time, but fair to say lawsuit is coming in both the american incident and the united incident. >> i don't know about the american incident, united, yeah. >> thomas, not the last we're going to hear from this. thank you so much. appreciate your time. >> pleasure. dylan is in the orange room with the surprising reason why people are talking about the chain smokers latest concert. first, these messages. quite sure what it is. it's jelly.

nbc news/"wall street journal" poll says 45% of americans say president trump is off to a poor start. his job approval is at 40%, the lowest for any president at the 100-day mark in the history of that poll. as for the looming deadline, congress has to pass a budget deal by friday, or else the government will shut down. a potential sticking point, republicans are looking to include funding for mr. trump's border wall in the bill. that's a nonstarter for most democrats. the white house is also reviving the efforts to repeal obamacare. but the chances are slim. former president barack obama will hold his first public appearance at the university of chicago. he and mr. trump haven't spoken since the inauguration. the president will host a white house visit by the u.n. security council. matt? >> all right, kristen. thank you very much. french voters rejected mainstream candidates on sunday, in the first round of their presidential election.

everyone at home. drugstore lashes have come such a long way. and i have tips for you if you're going to the drugstore and you're afraid of what to buy. there's one tip to look for. if you get a blunt edge, that will look heavier and unnatural. you want something that looks flaired and tapers. our own eyelashes grow in cycles. that's a clear indication of a falsey, that is the blunt edge. i apply my lashes underneath. i glue them, so when i look down, you don't see them. >> these, you get the glue and stick them on. >> look for a band that's clear. if you get a tight shot. one side has a black band. and this side is a clear band. when you pick up the black band, and you f you apply it

crookedly, you will see. >> ways to stick stuff on. >> when it comes to glue, beware if you have a latex allergy. another tip, i have a graphic. you go apply the glue to the lash, don't apply it on top of the band the way most people do. apply it to the underside at the base of the lashes. that's the part that's going to sit on your lash. that's an easier way to get it to stick. >> can a regular person put them on properly? >> yes. >> what is that? >> this is called a fish-tail tweezer. this allows you, without using tweezers. to press the lashes into your natural one. >> if you like the individuals, not the big band. >> just little strip, flirt cosmetics, it cranks out, if you get really close. it cranks out miniindividual

strips. >> mary puts them on. i don't know what you are talking about here. but they're magnetically applied? >> yes. teeny tiny magnet strips. this is one-two cosmetics. you see the little black lines are magnets along the strip. >> what's it tisticking to. >> sarah is great at applying these. she just applied the bottom piece and she's done. this is a revolutionary idea. you have to experiment to get the hang of it. but know that certain eye shapes, you know, are going to require a little more work. >> i think it's time to go to the professionals. this is if you want to get eyelash extensions. who do we have here? >> this is courtney. she is between new york and dallas, very in demand. she has girls showing up every couple weeks to get maintenance. but let's talk about a full set.

here we have on careen. she has one of her eyes done. take a look. >> you're doing an eyelash extension, right? >> right. >> what does that mean, actually? >> it's individual, one-by-one, to attach one, and there's a new technique that you can put two to six lightweight lashes on one lash. it's very lightweight, very safe. >> if you have to guess, how many lashes are on careen's eye? 200? >> i would say 5,000. there's a lot. >> how many did you apply? >> i applied the very fine ones to each individual lash. they kind of cluster out to lightweight. there's a lot of lashes. but they're all individually separated so that each lash is separated. so, it doesn't cause damage. >> how much 'caudoes it cost? >> $99 for a full set and up. and you must seek out a licensed professional. you're dealing with an eye area. >> how often do you do this?

are again. all of the flights have been on in the meantime before this one, i found that the flight attendants in some ways are extra nice. and people are just aware. and everybody kind of knows it's bubbling. >> since then. >> since then. every flight is like, me coming here, i flew from l.a. yesterday. and i was on american. >> okay. >> and like, it happened to be delayed. it was something that happened. we had to go back to the gate. and the pilot came out of the cockpit and had this amazing, calm voice. and was like, hey, everybody, i just want you to know we have a little delay. but i really appreciate everybody's patience. and it was like, he just automatically calmed everybody down. >> diffused the situation. >> and to be honest with you, it's like, round of applause. >> i agree with you. >> thank you for finally doing that, making us feel objection on a flight. >> and in this case, american jumped in very quickly. in fact, there's a statement. american airlines says, what we see on this video does not reflect our values or how we

care for our customers. we are deeply sorry for the pain we have caused this passenger and her family and to any other passengers affected by the incident. after arriving in dallas, the airline suspended the flight attendant, upgraded the woman to first class, offering her a $1,000 travel voucher. that's how, now, i any they handle it quickly. >> they should. >> you look at social media. and you say, you know, there's great things and bad things about social media and about everything happens in the world is being exposed. but it's accountability. right? and in your personal life, i'm like, that's not okay. but when you're talking about a business, you're talking about a flight attendant whose job is customer care. and they act that way, they should be accountable. should be held accountable. and i love the fact people are, like, ha ha. >> cell phones everywhere. can't do anything. >> in a statement, the union representing the airlines flight attendants urges the public not to jump to conclusions. it appears another passenger may

have threatened a flight att attendant with violence, which is a violation of law and no small matter. you get it quickly. >> sometimes, you know, regardless of the circumstance, i -- round of applause for the passenger. even though legally, he was in the wrong of standing up and threatening. it's like, yo, dude. do not do that to people. there's no reason to ever grab anything out of a woman's hand. you just don't do it. no reason to do that. if reality, if he had done that to him in the street -- different game, player. can we end on a happy story? >> kenny g. still has the curls. saxophonist kenny g. aboard a flight leaving tampa. a woman next to him was trying to raise money for a cancer charity. >> what does kenny g. do? he whips out the saxophone and plays an impromptu concert mid
