>> a tragedy gadi, thank you very much. all eyes are on wall street this morning in the wake of its worst day in four months the dow closing down more than 600 points yesterday amid the escalating trade war with china. and that's not the only global hotspot getting attention from the white house. we've got complete coverage this morning and we start with nbc's white house correspondent, peter alexander. peter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, craig the president clearly concerned about the market's dramatic drop, tweeting about it this morning. more than $1 trillion was wiped out for global markets yesterday amid the ongoing trade war with china the dow jones plunging 2.5%, the nasdaq dropping more than 3%. the president is sticking with it even as china slaps retaliatory tariffs on the u.s overnight president trump saying we'll know in three to four weeks if his gamble was a success. this morning wall street remains rattled with stocks plummeting amid escalating trade fears posting some of the biggest
7:06 am
one-day losses this year. >> a sharp and broad pullback for stocks, really across the board. look at that ouch >> reporter: the selloff as china retaliates on $60 billio in u.s. goods largely targeting the agriculture industry pledging to increase tariffs from 10% to 25% on june 1st. a response to president trump's tariff hike on $200 billion in chinese imports. among those hardest hit, tech companies like intel and apple plus major manufacturers like caterpillar and boeing whose sales in production rely heavily on u.s./china trade. their stocks dropping dramatically on the news the president digging in pressing companies to build their products here. >> we don't have to pay any tariffs if you are a manufacturer in this country you pay nothing. open your division or open up your product have it made in this country as opposed to made in china. >> reporter: claiming the u.s. significantly benefits from tariffs on china. >> we are taking in billions of dollars of tariffs and those
7:07 am
tariffs are going to be tremendously, if you look at what we have done thus far with china, we have never taken in 10 cents until i got elected now we are taking in billions. >> reporter: but ignoring the costs of american companies passed on to consumers a point acknowledged sunday by his top economic advisor. >> both sides will pay in these things. >> reporter: democrats on the campaign trail looking to capitalize. >> the only people who are paying the price are farmers and working people right now he is going about it the wrong way. all bravado, no action. >> reporter: of course, a lot of farmers in states that the president won. president trump says he will meet with chinese president xi at the g20 the end of june but that, savannah and craig, is nearly a month after china's retaliatory tariffs hit american products >> peter, the president has been touting this economy this trade war would seem like a
7:08 am
huge risk politically. what could it mean for him politically as we head into this campaign season? >> reporter: yeah, craig, you put your finger on it there. the president feels emboldened by the strength of the company that may give him political wiggle room here the gamble is that the economy and perhaps more importantly his base of supporters remember a lot of those farmers hard hit by the tariffs are in states the president won, that they are willing to accept short-term pain for the promise of longer-term gains but if president trump goes further, if he slaps a third round of tariffs on everything american import from china, that would affect the very products you put in your shopping cart. toys, shoes, household goods costing consumers here, not the chinese. back to you. >> peter alexander there at the white house. peter, thank you new developments this morning connected to the mueller report lawmakers in the white house still fighting over what's next for them the attorney general has appointed a top prosecutor to look into how this whole russia investigation began. nbc white house correspondent
7:09 am
kristen welker has that story. kristen, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning to you for months the president and has allies have called on the justice department to investigate the origins of the russia investigation so overnight the president's outside attorneys really cheered this news. but it's a move that could further strain the relationship between this president and some law enforcement officials. this morning, investigating the investigators. attorney general william barr is calling on the top federal prosecutor in connecticut, john durham, to look at how the russia investigation began that's according to "the new york times," citing two people familiar with the matter nbc news has not independently confirmed the report president trump, who recently labeled the russia probe an attempted coup, has long demanded an investigation. >> it began illegally and hopefully somebody is going to look at the other side. >> reporter: overnight attorneys for the president welcomed the news
7:10 am
jay sekulow telling nbc news the origins of this investigation have to be examined thoroughly and the appointment of a u.s. attorney would be the appropriate course of action the move comes after barr revealed he had concerns about the russia investigation, including the electronic surveillance of a trump campaign advisor offering this assessment. >> yes, i think spying did occur. >> well, let me -- >> the question was whether it was predicated, adequately predicated, and i am not suggesting it wasn't adequately predicated, but i'd need to explore that >> reporter: those comments drawing swift backlash from some democrats who accused barr of behaving like the president's personal attorney. and just last week the fbi director pushing back as well. >> do you believe that they ar engaging in spying when they are following fbi investigative policies and procedures? >> well, that's not the term i would use. >> so, kristen, the president has been wanting something like this for a long time what do we know about the prosecutor who is in charge of this investigation >> reporter: well, savannah, this isn't going to be a new
7:11 am
role for john durham he is actually a veteran prosecutor appointed by president trump in 2017 but he served as a lawyer for the justice department since 1982. he really made his career as a mob prosecutor he has led high-profile cases, including the investigation into torture of detainees by the cia. we reached out to a spokesperson for durham who declined to comment. savannah and craig >> kristen welker outside the west wing, thank you very much meanwhile, there are reports this morning that tension with iran has u.s., has the united states considering new military options and it's also raising the stakes on key talks in russia today secretary of state mike pompeo traveling sochi for high-level meetings with vladimir putin nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell is here with the latest on that andrea, good morning. >> good morning to you well, secretary pompeo's meeting with vladimir putin today an iran ally comes as the administration is escalating the pressure on iran alarming critics at home and
7:12 am
abroad with tensions mounting between the u.s. and iran, this morning an alarming new report on a potential shift in u.s. military strategy "the new york times" reporting acting defense secretary patrick shanahan presented a plan to president trump's top national security aides last week citing unnamed administration officials. the paper says the plan calls for sending as many as 120,000 troops to the middle east if iran attacks u.s. forces or accelerates its work on nuclear weapons. reportedly the plan, which has not been verified by nbc news, does not call for a land invasion of iran "the times" also says it's not clear if the president himself has been briefed on the plans. democratic senator tim kaine reacting to the news on twitter calling it complete madness. earlier the president asked whether the u.s. is heading into war -- >> we will see what happens with iran if they doing anything, it will be a very bad mistake. if they do anything. i'm hearing little stories about iran if they do anything, they will suffer greatly
7:13 am
>> reporter: meanwhile, mike pompeo is making his first visit to russia as secretary of state, set to discussing growing crisis with russian president vladimir putin. the latest flash point, the state of hormuz. where this norweigian tanker and other tanks from saudi arabia and the uae were hit by mysterious attacks saudi officials call it sabotage with no indication of who was behind the attack and iran calling it alarming and regrettable, president trump issuing this warning monday. >> it's going to be a bad problem for iran if something happens, i can tell you that they are not going to be happy. >> reporter: it comes after strengthened sanctions on iran and last week's announcement by the white house that a carrier strike group would head to the region a show of force. u.s. officials say iran recently discussed attacking american interests overseas and monday pompeo made a last-minute stop in brussels to share that intelligence about the iran threat with skeptical european allies. >> overseas, the europeans, how did they react how are they reacting to this
7:14 am
pompeo briefing about iran how alarmed are they >> they are alarmed. they want more proof they believe that there has been bad behavior by iran that's not the issue here. they don't have any proof, they are not accepting any proof that iran was behind the sabotage of the tankers and they are very concerned about escalation. >> well, speaking of so now we have this report in the paper that potentially plans have been drawn up for a massive u.s. presence in the gulf, in the middle east. what would the president think of that? he hasn't traditionally been a fan of that kind of thing. >> he has been drawing down. he was critical of the obama efforts to beef up in afghanistan. certainly of the bush war. you know, only last week he said that he has to temper his hawkish national security advisor john bolton and it's really unclear that he would go along with this. this could just be a scare tactic against iran. this would be almost as big as the force we sent to iraq. it is beyond any kind -- >> 120,000 troops is a huge,
7:15 am
huge footprint >> and it would be the biggest kind of deployment it's not at all clear this president would go along with it. >> perhaps some saber rattling >> exactly >> andrea mitchell, thank you. a big legal victory for new england patriots owner robert kraft. a judge ruled that prosecutors cannot use the surveillance video allegedly showing robert kraft soliciting a prostitute at a florida massage parlor kraft's attorneys are expected to file a motion to dismiss the case entirely based on a lack of evidence 7:15 now a rare spring nor'easter bringing some bone-chilling cold, rain, snow to parts of the northeast. mr. roker here with the latest on that and a first look at the forecast as well. hey, al. >> hey, guys good morning thank you for getting your first forecast from us here is that snow. upstate new york into parts of vermont and new hampshire and new england and maine. we are looking at this colder air being dragged in with some wraparound showers around this system. here is the low pressure system system getting ready to pull

8:16 am
of research but also in terms of how much women need to add advocate for themselves. here are some tips straight from the experts. start a health journal, keeping a log of symptoms with date and times. if possible, send that information to your doctor ahead of your visit to optimize the time you have with your doctor and this very important. trust your gut and question your diagnosis or the plan of action if it doesn't feel right, and, of course, if you don't feel heard, go for a second opinion or find a new doctor there is some research that shows women if they have a female doctor they're perhaps better -- they're in better hands -- don't kill me, men. we are not little men. >> you said even some female doctors -- >> yes. >> they say like they also have bias because they've gone to medical school and they haven't been taught a lot about women's health tomorrow we'll be talking about menopause, which there is a huge range of confusion and misinformation in that space and there is not enough -- women

8:34 am
him as possible so we went to gleason's, the new york city boxing jim where ali trained right before some of his biggest fights. >> my name is muhammad ali. >> the new two-part hbo sports documentary "what's my name" is more than ali's struggles inside the ring. >> i know you watched it when you saw it the first time, you thought what >> i was really, really appreciative they took the time to go through all of the footage, all of the audio, to make this in muhamed's own voice, to let him tell his own story. >> that story, that life all documented by the cameras. from changing his name >> cassius clay is the name no more. >> yes, sir. it's muhammad ali. >> after being stripped of his championship belt because he refused to fight in vietnam. >> mr. muhammad ali has refused to be inducted into the united states armed forces.
8:35 am
>> that legacy inspired basketball star lebron james and his business partner to serve as executive producers on the documentary. >> your business partner and lebron made a name for himself off the court as well for being a social activist. how much of that aspect of muhammad's legacy was he drawn to >> well, i think for lebron the draw for him is always about empowering, empowering voices, empowering people. that's what he took from muhammad people list to muhammad because he was the greater boxer then what did he decide to do? he decided to help others not just take and have that platform use him, he used it. >> you could have easily sat down with loni, boxing experts, historians you chose not to do that you chose to tell the story in his own words. why? >> we started digging through the footage. it's almost like as we were
8:36 am
listening to it he smacked us on the head and said, hey, just use my voice. >> i'm ready to go. >> is there a part of the doc that stands out to you more than others is there a favorite moment >> muhammad never ceases to amaze you with the wisdom he had at such an early age and the way he was able to feel comfortable in his own skin and be so self-assured to stand up for what he saw was social injustice. and that still inspires me. >> it's a classic example of history treating someone better, i think, than they did when they were around. >> times changed he came through the '60s it was a very tumultuous time then people were changing attitudes were changing. society was changing and muhammad was right in the thick of it. he came through this world, i think, at the appropriate time. >> i was born for everything that i'm doing now. >> for me watching the second part especially, i found it hard at times to watch the physical deterioration.
8:37 am
>> right yes. >> of muhammad ali how hard was that for you to watch? >> very difficult. i think he knew he had gone at least one too many >> did the people around him know at the time >> of course they did. >> but we couldn't stop muhammad ali. >> well, you never know -- muhammad always thinks he can give that lost ounce you never know his reasoning and i will never judge him on account of it. usually when he made his mind up, that was it. there was no turning back. >> i know we talked a couple of years ago shortly after his death about his legacy and what it was then. what is it now >> he was compassionate and he was forgiven forever he forgive some of the biggest things that i know i would never be able to give. and as i always say, it's hard to be muhammad. >> what would muhammad say about the -- >> if it's about him, it's good. >> perfect >> here's the thing about muhammad-ali
8:38 am
in terms of making the right decision for a spouse, could not have done better than loni ali, she has protected and advanced his legacies in a lot of way i can't imagine someone else taking the care she's taken of muhammad ali it's a fascinating documentary it's two parts it's called "what's my name. it appears on hbo 8:00 eastern tonight. >> you're a big fan but you learned some things. >> you don't realize until about 20 minutes in, it's all muhammad's voice >> cool. >> interviews you hadn't heard pictures you hand seen revealing. quite revealing. >> cool. all right. coming up next, jenna shares one couple's remarkable story of hope and healing after unimaginable heartbreak. but first this is "today" on nbc. [ pleasant orchestral music ]
8:39 am
[commentator] and now comes the decisive shot. [ pleasant orchestral music ] looks good, looks good. [crowd gasps ] do you believe it? what can you say? [ crowd cheering ] [ pleasant orchestral music ] tom watson has taken the lead of the u.s. open.
8:40 am
we are back with the story
8:41 am
about a couple who suffered the unimaginable, but now they're sharing their story because they want to help others. >> yeah, that's right. this is a beautiful story. jason and stacey green lost their precious daughter gretta at just 2 years old. a tragic heartbreak that led to an exploration of grief and lessons of healing and hope. >> ma, ma, ma, ma, mommy. >> gretta was very funny gretta was deeply empathetic little person. >> i miss daddy. >> jason and stacey green's 2-year-old daughter gretta was their entire world, a world that changed in an incident. >> she spent the night at her grandmother's place. >> she had tickets to a play it was like a little children's theater. >> it was just going to be a normal weekend and then we were going to pick her up and bring her home. >> but then the unthinkable happened gretta and her mother were sitting on a park bench when a brick fell eight stories off a building, striking gretta unconscious. the phone call came from
8:42 am
gretta's grandmother, words too painful to bear. >> and the first words she said were "oh, jason, it's so horrible." and i think i knew something had changed forever in our lives. >> doctors rushed gretta into emergency brain surgery. they couldn't save her >> i think when a child dives there is often a particular kind of aloneness to it because people don't really expect children to die. >> during their darkest days, jason found comfort in writing. >> sometimes i would be screaming and crying in the days after she died and then i would -- after i'd calm down write down everything that i remember saying. >> it was healing in some ways >> i think it was just a survival mechanism. >> the pages of his journal now a memoir about healing from heartbreak titled "once more we saw stars. >> there was one moment between the two of you that seems significant because grief can break a marriage >> i was worried i would lose
8:43 am
stacey just because it seemed like "what happens next? then when i went down to the cafeteria to get us coffees, she said "i love you," and it was only in that moment, even in the middle of everything, i was like we're going to be all right. >> we also consider ourselves fortunate that we did sort of change enough together to stay together. >> you really dove deep to figure out your spirituality from this moment and it seems like you did it together. >> we're both without religion so it wasn't part of our makeup. >> they travelled far and wide in search of meaning and connection, from grief support groups to spiritual retreats >> when you explore all these different things, these religions, these philosophiers, these authors, was there a moment where you could believe that she was somewhere else? >> when we ended up realizing that we felt gretta's spirit, it wasn't because we had tried the right ceremony, i think it was because we had done so much work together looking for her and we found her within ourselves
8:44 am
unfortunately time moves forward and we don't ever move on from gretta's death, but we do move forward. >> talk about how you decided to have another baby. >> i think because the accident was -- there was so much randomness that it was either that we were going to be afraid of literally everything or sort of, like, accept this new reality where things happen. and we wanted -- we did want another child. i mean, we loved being parents. >> jason and stacey have since welcomed their son, harrison >> we have a wonderful happy family harrison brings us so much joy all the time despite the pain and the sadness, we're happy, but you never do move on, but you can keep living. >> this is such a beautiful book for anybody that's experienced any type of grief because it really talks about healing, about what life is like after tragedy, and i actually read
8:45 am
about the galley and had a friend who lost a baby and sent it to her before sit came out. she's now pregnant with twins. so i think they showed -- jason shoid that theshowed that there life after the unthinkable >> they're such teachers for what they had to overcome. >> their strength is unimaginable. >> thank you, jenna. well, we're going to shift gears. dylan's over there and i think she has a few new friends with her. >> just a couple here. we are talking about puppy play time for extended members of our "today" show family. the training tips that all new the training tips that all new dog owners need to know, but

8:47 am
we are we are back. we are continuing "today's" pet palooza. yesterday we met adorable dogs up for adoption. today it's all about training,
8:48 am
what to do when your new member of the family comes hope here are tips as a familiar face our expert, the trainer for the guide dog foundation obviously she's sunny's right-hand woman you know everything about how to ray great dogs >> good morning. >> let's say you were enenthralled with yesterday's segment. you decide to adopt a diagnose what are the things you need to be aware of? >> the first thing i recommend doing is puppy-proofing your house, whether you're getting a young puppy or an old puppy. you don't know what that history might be if you're getting an older dog. make sure your home is a safe environment. lift and hide cords. clean the floor. close doors to anything you don't want them to have access to keep food, trash and cleaning products behind closed doors. >> it's kind of like baby proofing >> you really want to do that at first to set them up for success. >> what about plants >> household plants can be toxic, some of them, so it's a really good idea to remove them in the beginning and slowly introduce them later.
8:49 am
>> we're going to talk to some of our "today" show producers and their doggies. they need you. this is an intervention for them and their us but let's talk about training because you can do kind of a traditional obedience school or try to train at home how do you know what you need? >> yeah, so a class setting is going to be really great because it can offer really great socialization both for your dog and for you. you might meet some fellow puppy friends, but it depends on the dog. if the dogs are really uncomfortable with the commute to class or really uncomfortable with the class itself, being close to other dogs, if they're not quite at that stage of their training, a better option might be to train at home and have a trainer come to you. then you can have individual goals that are met. >> before we get to our problem puppies over here -- i love our producers. they're like wrangling their doggies. what are some basic commands or basic things you got to train right away >> so a lot of people get focused on i want to teach sit and shake and stay and all of
8:50 am
that, but i think the most important thing you can do at the beginning is teach good house manners through a lot of supervision, keeping the dog in the same room of the house as you. get a good relieving schedule outside, making sure they're going outside as opposed to in the house and teaching the dog their name and to come when they're called those are my three top priorities. >> okay. let's get to maddie. our little friend scooby what's going on with scooby at home >> scooby's very friendly. he's very excitable. some days he goes on walks and doesn't bark at anything and sometimes it's like every board, car, person, dog. >> he's barking too much what about inside the house? does he bark >> inside he doesn't >> he really likes roberto's treat. >> roberto has the good treats. >> what do we do with a barker >> whenever i'm working through any issue at all, i like to focus on what i do want the dog to to do versus what we don't when i see calm and quiet
8:51 am
behavior, i would rapid fire be giving scooby scooby snacks. >> should i be giving them to him right now? >> yes it appears that whatever the treats are over there a little bit more interesting so perhaps invest in that. >> kibble that he eats every day isn't? >> but you want to find a treat that he really, really, really likes. >> okay. >> that could be chicken that could be cheese that could be little pieces of steak. you can teach it a word -- >> what about this situation? >> teach it on a word. teach the word like "look. >> okay. >> and then give him a piece of that really special treat. this regular treat is not a high enough value. >> i have to go shopping >> those situations are more exciting. >> scooby doo keep working on that >> penny has separation anxiety. so when we try to leave her at home, we put her in the crate, but she has it so badly, she actually with her teeth bent the metal. pulled down the side and
8:52 am
actually escaped while we were at work. terrified that she was going to go chew something up in the apartment. >> oh, my goodness. >> what do we do >> okay. so what i would recommend is there are smart feeders that exist now. there's two different kinds. one that gives your dog a full meal there is one you can attach to the outside of the crate, program to your phone, i want my dog to have a treat every one minute, 30 seconds, whatever it needed needed to be if she's too stressed to even eat foot, like when you leave she doesn't even want the food, i recommend consulting with a medical behaviorist. >> you may recognize him from instagram fame what's going on with winnie? >> she's a good pup but she's got a chewing problem. obsessed with our couch. she tore up a corner of it hats, shoes, hangers she even chewed through her harnesses. what do we do? >> all right
8:53 am
i recommend lots of appropriate chew toys. my favorites are deer antlers and elk antlers. those are naturally -- >> legit real antlers. >> you can get them at a pet store. they're naturally shed then what i would do is i would supervise her in the house that means maybe even letting her drag a leash around the house so if she starts to chew, you can step on the leash, prevent it and redirect her to the appropriate toy. >> we're going to try that. >> all right guys, good luck with everything. scooby, penny, winnie. oh, my gosh. >> situation developing. >> olivia for 911. we're back in a moment this is "today" on nbc ♪
