gala. it's the super bowl of fashion. >> do you wonder where these celebrities shop? i didn't see that at macy's. >> ever. jenna was on the red carpet. we will talk about that later. we begin with our top story, a fast-moving scandal that led to the overnight resignation of the state's attorney general. this after several women came forward, leveling allegations against a man who proclaimed himself a champion for women's issues. nbc's kate snow joins us now. >> reporter: this was head-spinning. this morning, the manhattan d.a.'s office confirmed it has opened an investigation into the allegations against new york attorney general eric schneiderman. last night, "the new yorker" published four stories from four women who says he slapped, demeaned and threatened them. two hours later the governor of new york was calling on schneiderman to resign and he did just that. this morning, eric schneiderman is spending his last day as new york's attorney general,

after allegations of physical and emotional abuse by four different women. two were named and two were anonymous. schneiderman, a democrat, built a name for himself, supporting women and the #metoo movement. >> we have to have a world where survivors are empowered at every level. >> reporter: he failed harvey -- he filed lawsuit against harvey weinstein for failing to protect employees. >> we've never seen anything as despicable as what we're seeing here. >> but the two that were romantically involved with schneiderman in relationships that lasted more than a year, tell "the new yorker" he was controlling, abusive and repeatedly hit them, often after drinking, frequently in bed and never with their consent. >> being slapped in the face and choked. >> reporter: both women said he threatened to kill them the he

-- if they broke up with him. both sought medical help. you cannot be a champion of women when you're hitting them and choking them in bed. he was seen as a dr. jekyll and mr. hyde figure. schneiderman strongly contests the allegations. before stepping down, he read another statement that read, in the privacy of intimate relationships i have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity. i've never assaulted anyone. i have never engaged in non-consensual sex. i would not cross that line. selvaratnam told "the new yorker" this was abusive, threatening, demeaning behavior. overnight, manning barish, said on social media, i spoke up for

my daughter and for all women. schneiderman told her not to write about him saying, i am the law. at the close of business, he will no longer be the highest law enforcement officer in the state of new york. >> we understand that schneiderman's ex-wife is speaking out in favor of him. >> she says this is inconsistent with the man i know. we should note the new york police department says there's no open investigations, no complaints filed against schneiderman. as i said at the top, the manhattan district attorney's office is launching their own investigation. >> the women said they were afraid to report anything. absolutely. >> because of his alleged threats. breaking overnight, new fears for residents in hawaii, living in the shadow of one of the world's most active volcanos after a series of violent eruptions that have destroyed homes and forced thousands to flee. now concerns that volcano could

break at any moment forcing residents out of their homes. miguel almaguer is there live for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. over the last 24 hours, there was less volcanic activity. but officials say that volcano could blow at any moment. and they warn, we saw two, new major cracks overnight. this morning, this is what geologists fear, more explosive, violent and sudden eruptions, a wave of molten lava cascading over at least 35 structures. impossible to stop, the fiery slow-motion disaster is steam rolling homes. >> just watching everybody come out of there with all their things, it's so sad. >> reporter: with two, new massive cracks or fissures splitting the earth open, scorching lava and dangerous sulfur dioxide gas is gushing into the air. this is where mother nature's fury can best be seen, in boiling rivers of red.

the fissures have been breaking out miles away from the volcano. they're spreading out like fingers. we can see where they're moving into residential neighborhoods. in the leilani estates where most of the damage has been done, 1,800 are under evacuations. some allowed to return home to pick up medicine and pets. stuart is leaving for the last time. >> it's something you don't think is going to happen but you know it's a possibility. >> reporter: living on shaky ground after 1,000 earthquakes in a week, eruptions here aren't rare. this is the youngest volcano and is one of the most active in the world. it is massive in size. one reason why lava is oozing so far down the mountain. today, the threat on the big

island far from over. >> i remember telling myself, this may be the last time i come back. and if it is, that's okay. >> reporter: this morning, more trouble in paradise. brutality among all of the beauty. >> miguel, we were talking about the concern of toxic gas. is that still on the minds of officials there? >> reporter: it is still a threat here. but they say because it was only two new fissures overnight, not ten, it remains a threat. that area we were in yesterday, you could smell the odor in the air even 1,000 feet above it. >> miguel, incredible pictures. thank you so much. coming up, we have an extraordinary look inside the hawaii active volcano system. we'll talk about how all of this started. it is decision day at the white house.

will president trump follow through on his threat to pull the u.s. out of the landmark iran nuclear deal. he will make that decision later on and the world will be watching. we have complete coverage starting with andrea mitchell. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, hoda. it's been president trump's number one foreign policy priority, to rip up the iran deal on day one. today, he expects to impose new sanctions on iran. the president calls it catastrophic, insane, the worst deal ever made. it expires in 2025 and does not ban missiles or support for terrorism. ignoring a parade of foreign leaders pleading to save the deal. macron of france, merkel of germany, and a last-minute appeal from britain's top diplomat boris johnson. arguing the deal negotiated under president obama got rid of 95% of iran's nuclear weapons

fuel. permits inspections. in return, iran got relief from sanctions. the europeans say if president trump slaps iran with sanctions today, it will start a chain reaction. foreign companies will back out of deals with iran, an oil producer, oil prices will surge and iran could restart its nuclear program. but the president and his national security adviser john bolton, seem more in sync with israel's benjamin netanyahu. >> iran lied. >> reporter: a week ago, revealed hundreds of files documenting iran's research, known to the west since 2007, but israel says stunning proof of past deceit. now, trump is slamming john kerry, meeting with zarif recently. the president tweeted, the united states does not need john kerry's possibly illegal shadow diplomacy.

he was the one who created this mess in the first place. a spokesman for kerry says, every american would want every voice possible, urging iran to remain in compliance. the nuclear agreement prevented a war. the president is excepted to announce that decision later at the white house. hoda and savannah. >> andrea mitchell, thank you. another big story out of washington, gina haspel, president trump's pick to head the cia, met with senators one time before confirmation hearings. senator mark warner urged haspel to declassify more records of her work, including any involvement in the cia's enhanced interrogation program. another committee democrat, martin heinrich said he would not vote for her, after she failed to sufficiently answer questions about her background at the cia. this morning, the president is tweeting his support for haspel. another headline out of the white house, melania trump's

launch of her new initiative to promote the social and emotional well-being of children. how are people reacting? nbc's chief white house correspondent hallie jackson has more on this. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you asked about reaction, seems fair to say it's support mixed with some skepticism. it's not that critics have an issue with the first lady's message, helping kids with healthy, positive behaviors. in person and online. it's for more, the messenger, given the history of president trump himself. for the first lady, two words, 16 months in the making. >> there is one goal to be best. >> reporter: melania trump unveiling her formal policy platform on positive behaviors for kids. from well-willing, to opioid abuse to social media habits. >> let's teach children the difference between right and wrong. >> reporter: that message, aimed at children in the audience. with plenty of attention on the adult in the front row.

the first lady's call to cut out the insults, a contrast to the president's penchant for doing just that. he's attacked more than 450 people on twitter. used the word loser in 234 tweets. dumb or dummy in 222. >> does the president accept any responsibility for america's skepticism that the first lady would be speaking out against cyber bullying? >> this is important to the first lady. >> does he accept responsibility for the climate that there is a need to address an issue like cyber bullying? >> i think the idea that you're trying to blame cyber bullying on the president is ridiculous. >> reporter: melania trump has acknowledged the elephant in the room before, though not mentioning her husband by name. >> i'm well aware that people are skeptical of me discussing this topic. but it will not stop me. from doing what i know is right. >> reporter: mrs. trump has focused on kids at hospital and school visits. but her policy rollout is a more public term for a private first lady.

now, a new tradition in the east wing, a first lady's message meant for the kids and maybe the grown-ups, too. >> together, let's encourage children to dream big, think big and do all they can to be best in everything that they do. >> reporter: the notably private first lady, stepping into a more public role, a tradition that dates back to dolly madison's age. watch for melania trump to do more events in the coming weeks, all around this theme of be best. >> hallie, thank you. we have more to get to, including a high-profile move by the nra. craig is here with that story. >> good morning. facing intense criticism in the aftermath of high-profile shootings, the nra is naming a new president with a very famous name. retired u.s. colonel oliver north.

the man at the center of the iran-contra scandal. critics of the nra say they are baffled by the choice. >> how is everybody doing today? >> reporter: facing political fallout in the wake of recent shootings, the national rifle association shakes up its leadership with a familiar name. >> my job is to keep us on schedule. >> reporter: oliver north, who appeared at this weekend's annual nra meeting, says he's honored to be named the organization's new president. but the retired marine colonel is most well known for a different situation of guns, the iran-contra scandal. a political scandal centering on illegal trading of a swap for hostages. >> i made serious judgment errors and i've admitted those. >> reporter: an aide to president reagan, north was convicted of aiding and abetting an obstruction of a congressional inquiry and destroying documents. he has had convictions reversed and has kept a high profile, becoming a fox news contributor.

north becomes the new face of the nra at a time when the organization faces a wave of protests. the brady campaign to prevent gun violence is slamming the nra and its choice to lead it. it's baffling they choose to install a walking lightning rod at the top of the organization. but nra vice president and ceo, wayne lapierre, calls north a legendary warrior. this is the most exciting news for our members since charlton heston became president. >> from my cold, dead hands. >> reporter: heston served five terms as nra president. the hollywood legend bringing star power to a group that now faces growing outside pressure. some members hoping north can bring some star power back to the influential lobbying group. north will become the nra's president in a few weeks.

i was mean. i yelled at jill soloway. and she told me she was afraid of me. but he denied the allegations of two transgender women that worked with him on the show. one actress said tambor made inappropriate comments. and his former assistant, says the actor harassed her. she spoke out in march on "megyn kelly today." >> he would start making comments about why haven't we slept together? and it wasn't just a one-time joke. it would be like three times a week. >> reporter: asked about allegations of propositioning and physical touching, tambor says, i dispute her account. i raised my voice at times. i was moody at times. there were times i was tactless, but for the other stuff, absolutely not. barnes' attorney released a statement saying, it is unfortunate that mr. tambor cannot take accountability for his behavior and has chosen to frame himself as a victim of the #metoo movement.

after an internal investigation, tambor was fired by amazon in february, a move he says surprised him. he was expecting a slap on the wrist for his temper on set but didn't think he would lose his job. tambor won two emmys for his portrayal of maura pfefferman. but there was criticism from some that thought a transgender should have played the role. the allegations have not kept tambor from returning to "arrested development" which is back on netflix later this month. responding to "the hollywood reporter" article, netflix says in making and promoting seasons four and five of "arrested development," jeffrey has been totally professional. >> joe, the question is whether the show will go on, the future of "transparent"? >> the show's creator tells "the hollywood reporter" that the next season will be the final season and that the writers have just started to discuss how to

you should have that. just for the empowerment if you need to leave a relationship or a job. >> another big deal, debt. a lot of us have it. >> we asked people when they feel financially free, and most was when they paid off the debt. melissa mccarthy talked about being credit card debt-free was one thing that empowered her. credit cards should be used to make you're life easier not as a financial crutch. that's really important. > >> the final tip has to do with investing. so important but a lot of us feel it's intimidating. >> we're leaving in 2018 now. there's a lot of outs that can help people invest. 80% of people don't own stocks or didn't know if they did. and 56% didn't have 401(k)s. there's apps out there like acorn. it takes your spare change and

invests it. if you spend $4.70 on a coffee, it takes the 30 cents and puts it into an investment fund for you. those little bits can add up. it's really easy to get into investments now. >> samantha, thank you so much. such an important topic for "glamour." coming up next, do you have nighttime back pain? do you snore? we'll decode what your body is trying to tell you. first, this is "today" on nbc.

your health beneath the surface, is sponsored by crest gum detoxify. new at walmart. this morning on "your health" five symptoms you should never ignore. common issues that could lead to problems if you don't check it with yr doctor. dr. azar is a medical

contributor. good morning. >> good morning, hoda. >> the list that we will give, a lot of people will nod their head and say yeah. we're not trying to alarm people, but you should check things out. >> absolutely. >> let's start with snoring. a lot of reason peoples snore. >> snoring is not always a concern. those people who snore and it's not a big issue. it's called simple snoring. how do you know if it's something more than that. let's say your partner says, you seem to stop breathing in the middle of the night, you're gasping or choking, you might have a condition that is obstructive sleep apnea. and that can be associated with cardiovascular disease. the interesting thing about snoring is if it's not sleep apnea, is it dangerous? a study a couple years ago showed that snoring independent of sleep apnea, might increase

your risk for heart disease also, by causing thickening of the carotid arteries. >> next up, bad breath. people say, i forgot to brush my teeth, but minus that. >> biggest causes, dental hygiene, dehydration, you had garlic at lunch. could there be other answers for it? yes. some with reflux disease. that's something to consider, as well as gum disease. that's redness and swelling and pain in the gums, can be associated with something like diabetes. >> let's talk about nail discoloration. or maybe the surface is cracking on your nails. >> a lot of times we'll learn in training that the nails can be a window into your health. they can be an indicator of medical problems. today, we're going to talk about psoriasis, which is a skin disease. the majority of people who have the skin disease might have nail

findings. but some people don't have the skin stuff, just the nail stuff. we're talking about pits, ridges, the nail comes up off the nail bed. >> what's that issue? >> that can be psoriasis in the nail. that's important. up to a third of people of psoriasis, might have a joint condition. liver and kidney disease and other medical problems can result in those changes. >> we're saying a lot of these things are normal. sometimes we check them out. we talked about the skin and eczema. and the swelling. >> some people have venous insufficiency. that can start with swelling around the ankles. but if it loasts over time, you can get pooling in the legs. that can cause some redness and brownish discoloration. that's something you want to evaluate with your doctor to see if it's just varicose veins.

>> and lastly, so many people are going to relate to this one. nighttime back pain. 80% of people have some type of back pain. >> exactly. >> that's normal. however -- >> the vast majority of people with back pain, whether it's arthritis or back strain, they generally feel good at night. some warning signs or red flag signs can indicate something else would be that dull, awful pain in the middle of the night that wakes you up that doesn't seem to go away. as well as any constitutional symptoms, like fever or night sweats. >> what might that mean? >> it could indicate an underlying pier underlying serious problem. that is not an inclusive list, of course. any concern about that, see your health care provider. >> dr. azar, thank you. just ahead, pregnant and pushing boundaries. the inspiring mom to be won't let anything slow her down. first, this is "today" on nbc. i'm dianne feinstein and i approve this message.

some form of exercise, making sure they talk to their health care provider to make sure it's done safely and adjusting to the pregnancy. >> reporter: after a year of giving birth, christine found out she was again and she was worried. >> when i got pregnant the second time, the first thing that came to my mind was the pelvic pain that i had. and i talked to my doctor right off the bat. she said because i had it the first time, i'm most likely to have the pain again. >> reporter: determined to test the limits by running throughout her pregnancy, she saw a pelvic p.t. specialist. >> i instantly started doing exercises right away that worked on strengthening my core and my pelvis. >> reporter: she is using social media to keep her on track and help other women. >> sharing my experience online and on instagram has kept me accountable, as well. when people reach out and say, you are inspiring me very much.

but inspiring people inspires me to get out there. >> reporter: her number one supporter, her husband, robert. >> christine, when she wants to do something, she makes sure she's doing it the right way. >> reporter: this time around, christine knows her pregnancy won't hold her back. >> it was important to push through this obstacle. it shouldn't stop you from doing the things you love. >> reporter: she is pushing her limits on the track and off. >> i feel empowered when i run. it's not just me anymore. the fact i'm carrying extra weight and another human being inside me, it makes me feel like i can do anything. >> christine has officially crossed the point when she stopped running during her first pregnancy and is on her way to running in the buffalo half-marathon on may 27 th. >> nothing i would have done.
