another explosion, another bomb just about 30 minutes ago. about 200 yards down the road. fortunately the police have moved us in this direction before that went off. i'm at the scene of a shattered church where more than 70 worshippers died. dozens of tourists killed also in this city. here at st. anthony's church, one eyewitness described the scene after the attack. he said on the ground it was a river of blood. in the air, ash falling like snow. an easter morning that will never be forgotten. worshippers at mass the victims of mass murder. hotel restaurants blown to pieces. among the hundreds dead and injured, two americans. just before 9:00 the first blast at st. anthony's church captured on a dash cam video.

inside carnage. families praying together died together. rescuers working amid bloodstained pews. nearly half of all the victims dead and injured were praying here at st. anthony's church when they were blown up by a suicide bomber. the explosion ripping the proof off the church and shattering glass you can see on the road. >> i just heard the explosion. i had never heard explosion like that. >> minutes later an explosion ripped through a second church. another suicide bomber had blown himself up killing more than 50 worshippers. then in the heart of columbo the first of three explosions targeting tourists at luxury hotels. at the cinnamon grand, a man lined up at the breakfast buffet, then detonated his bomb. an american is one of 8 guests unaccounted for. around 9:00 two suicide bombers blew themselves up in a restaurant and lobby. hours later special forces

raided an apartment, a bomb exploded. three police were killed. authorities say this is where the attacks were planned. no one has claimed them. authorities are claiming a little known local islamist group. the government tells nbc news it had a tipoff that decide bombers would attack, chunks the target. yet there was no protection here. >> why weren't the churches protect first down you had a warning? >> how many churches to be protected, but beinformed that there is -- we never expected an attack of this magnitude. >> bill, you mentioned there was an explosion. i think i heard you say a few minutes ago behind where you're standing. what do you know about that? >> they didn't expect this one either. it happened about 200 yards up the road. police identified a white van. we filmed it with it doors open.

they were looking into it when suddenly there was a massive explosion. a couple questions number one, how did it get in here in the first place, and number two, clearly this threat has not gone away. there are often secondary devices to catch police or soldiers or first responders. but this is more than a day after the attack on the church here. police say they know who carried out most of the explosions in the it's one group, a radical islamist group. the odd thing is it has no history of anything like this. police also questioning more than 20 suspects. >> bill, with so many still missing and so many wounded, is it reasonable to expect that the number of casualties will rise? >> i think it is. yes. i mean, you've got more than 500 people injured. many of those are in the hospitals with really very, very

serious injuries. everyone here is braced for that death toll to rise. >> all right. bill neely for us in sri lanka. now back to the mueller report. top democrats in congress raising the possibility of impeachment proceedings against president trump. kristen welker has more on that. kristen, good morning to you. >> craig, good morning to you. we're here live on the white house south lawn where the president and first lady are about to host the 141st easter egg roll. it's a tradition at the white house. it comes as president trump just returned from florida where he was celebrating easter and fuming about some of the revelations in the mueller report. the president back at the white house this morning after spending easter sunday with his family in florida. attending service and tweeting about the mueller report. calling it a hit job. the president repeatedly attacking the special counsel's

findings. all while maintaining that he's never been happier or more content. mueller leaving an easter service in washington declining to answer questions from nbc news. >> sir, could i ask you a couple questions. will you testify before congress, sir? >> no comment. >> reporter: the president's personal attorney raising eyebrows when asked why members of the trump campaign welcomed help from russia. >> there's nothing wrong with taking information from russians. >> it is now okay for political campaigns to work with material stolen by foreign adversarys? >> it depends on the stolen material. >> reporter: jerry nadler is arguing it's up to congress investigate, not ruling out impeachment. >> we may get to that. we may not. as i said before, it's our job to go through all the evidence. >> do you think this is impeachable? >> if proven some of this would be impeachable, yes.

obstruction of justice if proven would be impeachable. >> reporter: the president tweeting how do you impeach a republican president for a crime that was committed by democrats? democrats are facing mounting pressure on impeachment from some 2020 contenders led by elizabeth warren. >> we cannot be an america that says it is okay for a president of the united states to try to block investigations into a foreign attack on our country. >> reporter: other candidates argue the decision should be up to house democrats. >> i'm going to leave that to those members of the house who as they review those findings they can make that decision. >> we heard from beto o'roarke and senator warren. this seems to be a growing divide among democrats willing to talk impeachment. what are they saying on capitol hill? >> reporter: i think that's

right. democrats are mixed on the issue of impeachment. on the one hand you have the progressive branch of the party saying it's time to really start to seriously consider it. over the weekend we saw an increasing number of establishment democrats saying the issue can't be taken off the table. democrats like congressman elijah cummings, but then some other party leaders are skeptical. they say look at the political reality. republicans control the senate. it's hard to see it going anywhere. they're concerned it could backfire in 2020. they say the next steps are to see the full unredacted report. nancy pelosi will hold a conference call on the issue later today. >> kristen welker at the white house. thank you. a u.s. army sergeant died sunday during a sky diving accident in north carolina. he was killed aft his parachute failed to open during a recreational skydiving trip. they called it a freak accident.

high winds likely played a role there. the 29-year-old was from florida and stationed at ft. bragg in fayetteville, north carolina. there is new trouble for boeing as the company works to get its 737 max jets back in the air after two deadly crashes. a new report is calling the production of another plane into question. nbc's gabe gutierrez has that story for us this morning from charleston. gabe, good morning. >> reporter: craig, good morning. ten years ago boeing broke ground on this facility which makes the company's 787 dreamliner. now some past and present employees here are reportedly saying that boeing cared more about quantity than quality. this morning boeing is under new scrutiny involving another plane, its 787 dreamliner. it's built at a north charleston, south carolina, factory reportedly plagued by shoddy production and weak oversight that have threatened to compromise safety according to an investigation by "the new york times" that looked at

hundreds of pages of documents and interviewed more than a dozen employees past and present. >> from what i have seen, building the airplanes here at charleston, i don't feel they are in a safe and airworthy condition. this is my retirement plaque. >> reporter: john barnett retired in 2017 after working as a boeing quality manager for more than 30 years and has since filed a retaliation complaint with the labor department. boeing says it has substantiated and is fixing two out of ten claims barnett raised. one of them metal slivers created during installation that were left dangling over crucial wiring inside planes. >> over time these metal shavings will migrate down into these boxes or the electrical connectors, start a fire, and the last thing you want at 40,000 feet is a fire. >> reporter: barnett says so-called foreign object debris is common, but employees are expected to clean up after themselves. "the times" reports in 2017 the faa ordered the shavings to be

removed before delivery and boeing determined it does not present a flight safety issue. boeing tells nbc news it's working with the supplier to redesign the nut that resulted in the slivers. employees filed nearly a dozen whistleblower complaints and safety complaints with federal regulators adding there is no evidence that problems in the plant led to any major safety incidents. the new allegations come as boeing is already under investigation for the 737 max and the plane's certification process after two deadly crashes in a matter of months claimed more than 300 lives. that aircraft remains grounded worldwide. in response to "the times" investigation they say safety is the faa's top priority and we thoroughly investigate whistleblower complaints and take action if the allegations are substantiated. a boeing official sent an internal letter to employees saying the times piece paints a skewed and ip accurate picture of our program and team.

boeing's president says the south carolina factory is producing the highest levels of quality in history and safety and quality are at the core of boeing's values. there is nothing more than important than that. >> that's what boeing has to say. how about the customers, the airlines? what are they saying about the allegations about the dreamliner? >> reporter: well, savannah, american airlines is stand being i the dreamliner telling nbc news that they have full confidence in the 42 787s they currently have in their fleet, adding that they have ordered even more. savannah. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you very much. now to a dramatic rescue. good samaritans diving into a philadelphia river to help a trapped motorist. take a look. you can see people swimming out to an vsuv there sinking in the middle of the river. witnesses could hear the woman bango banging on the window from inside the window. they used a tire iron to break her free. >> it's what anyone would do.

bombers were sri lankan citizens. there is word this morning that sri lankan authorities were warned about a terrorist plot two weeks ago but, quote, never thought it would happen so soon. life imitating art in ukraine this morning. a comedian who once played the president in a tv sitcom was elected to the top office in real life on sunday. volodymyr zelenskiy beat petro poroshenko. 73% of the vote. president trump spoke to the leader overnight, congratulated him, and called it an important moment in ukraine's history. 16 people taken to the hospital after they landed at boston's logan airport sunday. the american airlines jet was carrying a group of students and their shop runs from a school trip in ecuador. they stopped in miami on the way to boston. officials believe a tainted lasagna they ate while in ecuador may be to blame. other passengers on the flight displayed no other -- no other passengers i should say

displayed similar symptoms. that frightening tiger attack at a zoo in topeka, kansas. a zookeeper is recovering. an investigation is underway. we will talk to the zoo's director in just a moment. ron mott has tlatest. >> good morning. this scary attack took place in the exhibit area you see behind me shortly after the zoo opened up on saturday. it's unclear if any visitors were in the area and saw the mauling. still emergency teams responded quickly hoping to save not just one, but two lives. this morning a star attraction at the topeka zoo is back on display and a zookeeper is lucky to be alive following a terrifying encounter. >> every zoo hopes they don't go through this. this is the worst nightmare. >> reporter: holiday weekend crowds eager to catch a glimpse of the popular tiger exhibit, instead witnessing a horrifying scene. sanjiv attacking his handler

saturday morning. >> we have staff getting attacked by a tiger. >> reporter: prompting an emergency response and closing the park for 45 minutes. >> staff is still in the enclosure. the tiger is still next to them. still attacking. >> reporter: as other workers lured sanjiv away with food. >> he made a choice to leave her and go inside, and that saved his life. and obviously it saved the keeper's life as well because any blow to her or a bite could have been fatal. >> reporter: the zookeeper was treated for multiple lacerations and puncture wounds to her head, neck, back and arm and was rushed to the hospital where she remains in stable condition. zoo officials say while maintaining tiger habitats is a daily task, sanjiv and his keeper should never have been in the space at the same time, stressing the cat didn't do anything wrong and euthanizing him was never on the table. >> he is a really great tiger. i can't stress that enough because it's a horrible situation but he was just being a tiger. >> reporter: sanjiv came from an

ohio zoo in 2017 as part of a species survival plan. only a few hyun soo mat runs remaining in the wild. now a zookeeper on the mend and a prized tiger preserved after an incident that could have been deadly for both. >> i was very grateful for the way that the staff responded because they saved them. there is no if's, and's, or but's. it was a miracle. >> reporter: as luck hwould hav it sanjiv is 20 feet behind me. the investigation into this incident continues. the central question that officials want answers for, why did this happen? back to you. >> thank you. >> we are joined by brendan wiley, the director of the topeka zoo. mr. wiley, good morning. >> good morning, savannah. >> we really appreciate you being with us on what's obviously a very intense time period at your zoo. first question, of course, is how is the zookeeper doing this morning?

what can you tell us about her condition? >> you know, we don't hear a lot of details. we know that she was moved out of icu late yesterday afternoon. we are taking that as a positive sign. know she's got a road ahead of her, but she is getting the support and care that she needs. >> can you walk us through a little bit more precisely how it is that all of this happened on sunday and how it also was that someone who was there at the zoo managed to alert the zoo staff? >> sure, craig. what happened was about 9:15 saturday morning it was noticed by a visiting guest that there was one of our staff people, a zookeeper in the same space with a tiger. that's really a process failure here that should not have occurred. and that set off an emergency kind of protocol that we have here. that person that saw it got word to a different zookeeper who

initiated our emergency protocol. long story short, within about under ten minutes other zookeepers here were able to call that tiger into an adjoining holding area, secure the tiger, allow emergency personnel in to help our staff person, and just amazed that it resulted that way. we could be talking about a much worse story this morning. >> it must have been terrifying. was the zookeeper who was injured able to talk, give any information about how it is that she ended up in that same space? >> you know, we have started an internal investigation here. she is the one person that we haven't been able to talk to just yet. you know, our system for managing tigers is made up of processes. we are going to find that process that failed. and even if it was human error, we are going to rework that process to make sure that that doesn't happen again.

but as soon as she is ready and able we'll have that conversation. but for right now things are going normally. >> brendan, you said that euthanizing the tiger wasn't an option. in situations like this in the past, that is something that has happened. how did you guys decide in this particular case not to euthanize sanjiv? >> well, in this case we're working with a critically endangered species. there is less than 800 of these tigers worldwide, both in the wild and under human care. the genetics that this cat represents are just incredibly valuable, and the tiger did nothing wrong. once that person was in its space, the tiger acted, did what tigers do. and so we're going to fix the process so that this never repeats itself, but the tiger was just never a question to us.

>> brendan wiley, we certainly appreciate you getting up early and talking to us. our best to your zookeeper. please keep us posted on your investigation. >> we will. thanks, savannah. >> interesting to see those live pictures, too. the tiger just right there back in the enclosure. >> all right. let's take a turn. another check of the forecast on this monday. >> another area of rain. nothing all that heavy or severe, but we are still looking at some scattered thunderstorms, cloud-to-ground lightning in and around minneapolis. if you have flights early this morning, that could create delays while they wait for the storms to pass. this area of low pressure will move to the east through the day. it stays cloudy across the upper midwest. we will see this cold front trigger storms across west central texas and amarillo across the panhandle of texas. we could see some isolated severe storms today. then it turns into a cold stationary front tonight and tomorrow. so that will just keep the showers and random downpours around, especially near san

angelo, dallas, heavier downpours tomorrow. they could see flight delays near dallas on tuesday. we are looking for two to three or four inches of rain. some areas could end up with about five or six inches of rain. that could lead lto flash flooding. warm across the gulf coast. temperatures in the 70s and 80s. rainy and unsettled across the northeast and out west. your microclimate weather today will be warm. we're in the 70s expected today for san francisco. 73 in oakland. in through the interior valleys, we have low to mid-80s expected for today. a lot of sunshine in store. we will get warmer heading in towards tuesday. especially san francisco and the coastal areas. 78 degrees. the high pressure could dominate through thursday before a system cools us off by friday, into the weekend.

and that's your latest forecast. >> dylan, thank you so much. coming up, how the royal family celebrated two things. they had easter and the queen's 93rd birthday yesterday. also ahead, on this earth day a growing crisis centered on trash and how one american city is revolutionizing the way that the world recycles. then a lot of eggs, a lot of smiles, a lot of candy. inside easter weekend with our families. first, a reason to pay closer attention to all of that loose change you have. why rare and valuable coins are being randomly dropped into being randomly dropped into circulation this wee woman: this is your wake-up call. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, month after month, the clock is ticking on irreversible joint damage. ongoing pain and stiffness are signs of joint erosion. humira can help stop the clock. prescribed for 15 years, humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage.

the reality is there is little research to prove its benefits. what we found when it comes to parents who believe it helps their children with autism, what they see with their own eyes is what matters most. >> reporter: cbd is all the rage. the compound extracted from cannabis doesn't get you high like thc, but those who take it say it does a whole lot more. like lower stress, reduce inflammation, help you sleep. some even claim it cures cancer. but there is virtually no research to back up the claims. >> hudson. >> reporter: for mom alison rogers that doesn't matter. she says cbd is a breakthrough for her sunday hudson, who has autism. >> it's gotten him closer to a quality of life than most of us get to take for granted. >> reporter: for years the mom of five from texas struggled to find a treatment for his behavioral issues like wandering. a common symptom of autism. >> you talk about your kids being a piece of your heart

walking around outside your body. i thought i'd lost him. i did lose him. it's an actual life-or-death situation. >> reporter: she says prescription drugs made the 9-year-old aggressive. >> he actually attacked one of his brothers and slammed his brother's head into the floor. i was five feet away and i couldn't move fast enough to help either of them. >> reporter: in that moment rogers says she felt absolutely powerless and knew it was a turning point. >> you want to keep all your kids safe. sometimes you feel desperate. and so you start looking for things that maybe you hadn't thought of before. >> reporter: and then she discovered cbd. after a mom in hudson's class said it worked for her child. rogers now gives hudson up to 500 milligrams a day that she buys online. >> he is more relaxed. we see more attempts at communication.

>> puppy? >> we get better eye contact. >> reporter: in a statement, the fda says, we continue to be concerned that the number of drug claims being made about products not approved by the fda that claim to contain cbd. >> we don't know what some of the drown stream harms might be of exposing young people to he had mez /* these medications. >> reporter: they say clinical trials are necessary to see if it's a viable treatment for autism. >> we have to put the brakes on and do our best to understand the extent to which these medications are safe, tolerated, and efficacious. >> reporter: some preliminary international studies say cbd appears to be effective and could offer a significant improvement. and a first of its kind american study is expected to begin this year at uc san diego. another hurdle when it comes to cbd is the law. the federal government last year legalized cbd so long as it contains less than 0.3% thc.

some states have even legalized cbd as a qualifying treatment for autism. but local laws in five states heavily regulate the compound making it illegal for most uses. texas, where rogers lives, is one of them. and treating hudson can cost her up to $400 a week. not covered by insurance. despite the multiple obstacles, rogers is not willing to wait for the law or the science. >> fun? >> i had such a dismal outlook. whatever long-term effects are, i'm seeing so much benefit from it at this time. it doesn't enter my mind. it really doesn't. >> rogers is now working with hundreds of moms across the country to raise awareness and change state regulations. texas removed hemp as a schedule one drug earlier this month, but

the state attorney general's office says it hasn't issued a legal opinion on krnd cbd. so the legal waters there are still very murky. >> thank you so much. we want to bring nbc news medical correspondent dr. john torres into this conversation. i mean, your heart goes out to a mom who is seeking relief for her son and feeling that she found it. what is the research, if any, say about this? >> you can understand why people want to use this for their child. the scientists i taubld to said the big concern is the claims are far outpacing the science. we are not there with the science yet. it's around the corner. if you can wait off a little bit within the next year or so we will get a lot more studies. the big thing is the unknowns. we don't know if this really works. we don't know the dosing behind it, how much they are going to need. in this case, she was giving a fairly high dose. we don't know if that works. how many doses you need to give. what you are giving the doses for. and we don't know the side effects or long-term effects behind these, especially if it's

not pure cbd. >> there is so much out there on cbd right now. how should parents be sifting through all of it? i mean, can they sift through all it? >> the main thing parents want do is watch the research. by the end of the year there will be a paper coming out that will talk about cbd especially with anxiety and irritability and answer questions. within the next year or two researchers tell me there will be more research coming out and we will have a better understanding. again the main concern they have, and i have, too, is parents who give cbd but don't do the proven treatments, mainly the behavioral therapy. they say don't do that. do the behavioral therapy and things you know work. if you do the cbd, add that on top of that. talk to your doctor. drug interactions, how the patient is interacting. >> a big question with these different cbd oil products out there how much of that potent thc compound which as i understand is the thing that

gets you high. you don't want that with the cbd. how can you tell? >> it sis a totally separate compound. it depends on the plant it's extracted from. you can get cbd from hemp and marijuana. if you extract it from marijuana, you could potentially have thc in it. right now there is very little regulation. there are trusted sources that do the right thing. inevitably, that cbd will be more expensive than the stuff that's not regulated. that's where things get a little dicey. >> thank you. keep us posted on this research. by the way, we have a lot more on cbd, including a really rare look at how it's actually made. that's on our website today.com. we will send it over to dylan. just ahead, what beauty products for hair, skin and nails? want top honors from good housekeeping? we are about to find out. first, this is "today" on nbc.

we are back with "today's" style. thousands of new beauty products come out every year. how do we decide which ones are worth the money? we ask the scientists at good housekeeping magazine. they have tested thousands for their beauty awards issue. here it is. we are about to go through some of the winners. april, good morning. >> thank you. >> we love this. you guys do the hard work so we don't have to. >> yes. so many fun things to talk about. >> we have a bunch of products. this first is an award winner in skin care. what is this? >> neutrogena night cream has a fast acting form of retinol in it. a wrinkle reducer. this showed results in one week of use on 100% of women. it also over time helps with deep wrinkles. forehead creases, your cheeks and crows feet. super tough areas to treat. it has a good housekeeping seal which is a money-back guarantee that it gives up to the claims.

>> more people are kind of talking about protecting their neck. what is this? >> for sure. this is a serum from number 7, and this was the best of our beauty lab's neck treatment tests. it's an area hard to see, results with a topical treatment. this showed visible tightening and firming much the neck and jaw area and before and after digital imaging that we did. it really, really worked. you smooth it on in an upward motion and you get the results, which is remarkable from a bottle. affordable price, too. >> this is a face scrub. i love the box. >> yes. so this is from the brand acure. it's made of natural ingredients. green clay, klemm peel. this removed full coverage makeup. our test ers said they didn't need makeup when they used the scrub. what nor coumore could you ask ? >> it has the beads? >> yep, walnut shell powder, which is an exfoliator.

that gives you that brightness. >> all right. next, we could stay out of the sun if we use this bronzer? >> yes. you actually don't want your body to be a different color from your face in the summer. this is a bronzer for body from sal lan hanson. it rolls on your skin. you don't have to worry about mess and goop everywhere, very shuttle. there is shade for lighter, medium, and dark skin tones. it doesn't get on your clothes. at the end of the day you wipe it off as if it were makeup. pretty remarkable. we love that. >> now hair, right? >> yes. these are pretty exciting. these are a new category of anti-frizz sheets. they are sort of like wet wipes but for your hair. instead of lugging around anti-frizz bottles in the summer they are infused with argon oil. it will get rid of the fly aways, help with stacktic. >> it's dry? >> it's not going to leave an

oily, greasy residue on you. they are only $8. >> really? like a face blotter for your hair? >> yes. bring them anywhere. they fit in your pocket. great for on the go, from nexus. >> this is a mascara? >> yes, waterproof mascara, something people are looking for in the summer. this is from laroche prose. we did a splash test. people were repeatedly exposed to water. it did not run or smudge. people said it volumeized so well that they didn't need eyeliner. you are getting a great lash look from this. this is an amazing formula. >> now this looks like an eyebrow tinter? i don't know how to do that. >> this is an innovative product from l'oreal paris. it has the good housekeeping seal. you put it on in the morning and it sets all day long. you get fullness and definition from it. nearly 100% of testers said their brows stayed intact all day without any running or disappearing, which can happen

with brow products. love that. >> all right. this one, the concealer. is this the cult favorite? >> yes. in all of our testing this has been the top performer. the amazing thing is it comes in 48 shades. a lot of concealers come in five or ten shades, which is hard to find a match. and it scored perfectly for covering everything from dark spots to really tough dark circles and also blemishes, which are a big issue for people. this is the gold standard. it will cover anything concealer from it. >> what do we have here? >> this is fun. this is an interesting little pot of color from shisato. it's a bouncy sort of texture. if you touch it, it bounces. >> what is it? >> a cream to powder. it's very lightweight. use it on your eyes to brighten, your cheeks for a little highlighter, even your lips. we love this. sort of an on the go, easy to carry around way to brighten up your lip for summer. >> it's really kind of, it's just cheeks, eyes, whatever? >> yeah, whatever you want.
