which is going to continue to advance toward the east bringing rough weather to millions of people all weekend long. let's talk about the severe threat as we head through today and into tonight. 44 million people now under the threat of tornadoes, damaging winds and hail. it's this area right here where the highest threat of tornadoes is, so that's what we're going to watch as we they had through the day. then this system begins to work on up to more populated areas as we roll into tomorrow. 47 million people at risk in interior sections of the northeast and of course all this dangerous weather follows an advancing front line which is continuing to move to the east through sections of the midwest, the south, into the plains and eventually into the northeast. we'll have much more for you and a full forecast. back to you. thank you. we'll get your national forecast in a moment. to missouri, where a major battle is brewing this morning a day after lawmakers there passed a bill that bans abortions at eight weeks of pregnancy. missouri lawmakers following the

lead of several other states including alabama, that just passed restrictive new abortion laws. nbc's kathy park is here with more. good morning, a lot of controversy surrounding this. >> absolutely. good morning to you. after hours of heated debate, missouri became the fifth state to pass a heart beat bill banning abortions after a fetal heart beat is detected. while these may have been significant milestones, the legal challenges are just beginning. >> this morning, the movement to ban abortions deepening across the country. protesters quick to react in missouri after becoming the latest state to pass one of the nation's most restrictive abortion bills. if enacted, the new law makes abortions illegal after eight weeks. exceptions apply for medical emergencies only, not for pregnancies caused by rape or incest. doctors who break the rules could face up to 15 years in prison. the republican controlled house

voted 110-44 in a final vote friday. the governor has said he'll sign the measure into law. >> i think all life has value to it, all life does and i have been pretty clear about that my entire career and i'm going to stand up for the people that don't have a voice and everybody should have a right to life, and i believe that. >> planned parenthood's president writing this is a terrifying time for women in america. anti-women's health politicians are pushing dangerous policies that will endanger women's lives and the public's healthment earlier this week, nearly every abortion in alabama became a crime, creating a deep divide friday at one of the state's three abortion clinics. >> we protect women from being filmed with our umbrellas. we talk to them as we're walking up here. they pay attention to us so they don't listen to harassment. >> we have to ask ourselves, when is it okay to kill a baby. >> lawmakers like senator elizabeth warren are stepping in, calling on congress to protect a woman's right to

choose. several states have introduced restrictive laws, setting the stage for a possible supreme court show down challenging protections provided under roe v. wade. and president trump has stayed quiet on this very public clash over abortion. meantime, many women have shared their abortion stories posting on social media using the hash tag, you know me. very much a trending topic. >> the culture war is heating up, heading into a campaign season. nice to see you. thank you so much. turning to washington where the battle over immigration is heating up. the department of homeland security is laying out the ground work for a plan to send migrants who cross our southern border all across the country. in fact, it started already. mike mccara is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: the -- mike -- >> and with talk now of expanding the flights to other cities around the country. local officials, including some republicans are up in arms.

on friday, hundreds of immigrant detainees arrived in san diego, flown from customs and border control facilities in texas. officials say that flights like these take place three times a week, with each flight carrying around 130 people. the flights will continue indefinitely. once on the ground, the detainees are finger printed and processed. immigration and customs enforcement officials will then decide whether to release them to the public. officials say the texas facilities are overwhelmed in both march and april, more than 100,000 undocumented immigrants crossed the border in the span of a month, numbers not seen in over 12 years. last month president trump said he might bus detained immigrants to so called sanctuary cities, his way of retaliating against democrats for blocking immigration laws. >> we'll bring them to sanctuary cities areas and let that particular area take care of it.

they always say they have open arms. let's see if they have open arms. >> officials insist the decisions being made on where to transport migrants are not political, and they would not specifically target sanctuary cities. in florida, the trump administration was considering the release of hundreds of migrants in broward and palm beach counties each month. two democratic strongholds, the response was swift from both sides, including the newly elected republican governor of florida, a staunch trump alley. >> i don't think this should happen in florida. we have a lot of fish to fry in our own state with our own citizens. >> reporter: it's not only florida republicans upset about the possibility, of sending detainees to south florida, broward county democrats are suggest suggesting if it happens, detainees should be held in trump hotels. treasury secretary steve mnuchin refused a congressional subpoena to hand over the

president's tax returns. what happens now. >> reporter: this is the house weighs and means committee, subpoenaed six years of president trump's tax returns. steve mnuchin responded in a letter saying it serves no legitimate legislative purposes. democrats counter this saying this is a congressional oversight responsibility. they also cite a 95-year-old law that says the ways and means committee chairman can ask for the tax returns of anyone he chooses to ask for. this case is going to go to court where it is going to be decided. let's bring in nbc news analyst phillip rucker. let's start on immigration if we can quickly. we know we have seen a surge of migrants at the border, specifically in texas. we saw a video of migrants being put on planes and deposited in effect in southern california. the republican florida governor

describes this as dumping. he says if it comes to his state, it would be unacceptable. how is the trump administration managing this? >> well, it's a real dilemma for the administration. they are scrambling to come up with a way to process the migrants coming through the border. there is no clear plan how to do so. they are considering a number of cities across the country and including in the interior of the country. as you have seen in florida, local officials don't feel they have the infrastructure to handle these immigrants coming over. the challenge by the way is compounded by continued infighting within the administration among the top immigration officials including steven miller at the white house and the acting head secretary rather of the department of homeland security. >> let me ask you about the escalating trade war >> calling it a little squabble. put this into context. what is the risk-reward argument?

>> that's an excellent question. that was a little more than a squabble. this is an all-out trade war. the uncertainty is taking a toll rather on the stock markets. investors want certainty. the uncertainty about the trade policies is hurting the markets and jeopardizing this economy which is the president's calling card for reelection. >> let's talk about william barr doubling down on the spying claim. he wanted to find out if any officials put their thumb on the scale. he said government power was used to spy on american citizens. the president always said he wanted to find somebody who was looking out for him. has he found his man? >> absolutely. if you combine these recent developments with the way barr

handled the rollout of the mueller report, he's speaking trump's language. he's using that term spying, which is not a term we hear from the fbi director and others from the government. >> we don't have a lot of time. former president joe biden looking to kick off. what is your take on this, is biden something trump should worry about? >> the president is worried about joe biden, polling consistently is showing biden defeating trump. biden has a special appeal to the three states that trump carried in 2016. pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. >> that's why he'll be in philadelphia today. thank you so much. meanwhile, a high school football coach is being called a

hero when a student entered the school with a shotgun. >> it has happened again. another attempted school shooting. this time in portland, oregon. a quick thinking football coach jumped into action preventing anyone from getting hurt or killed. >> this morning, he's being hailed a hero. >> i'm thankful he was there to do something. >> a school shooting when former university wide receiver tackled the student to the ground. >> it looks like there may be a teacher yelling at kids and there is an active shooter at the school. >> police responded to a 911 call just before noon on friday. a man armed with a shotgun spotted near the high school. >> i just knew to leave. >> when police arrived on the scene, the suspected gunman, the

18-year-old student had been subdued. he's now in custody. >> staff members confronted the person with the gun. staff members wrestled him to the ground. >> he said, i'm happy i was able to be there for the kids and the community. parents anxiously waited. seeing the groups going in and panicking looking for my child. >> you never think it is going to happen to you. >> it is quite emotional. even though my son said he is safe, it is just the horror. >> students and parents thankful no one was hurt but still coping with another scare. >> portland's police chief commended lowe saying he displayed quick actions. he was trending on twitter on

friday. the second leg of the triple crown will be run a little later today. maximum security, the horse that was disqualified at the kentucky derby will not be competing today. the horse that was declared the winner, country house will not run either due to a breathing problem. now an interesting challenge. the owner of maximum security says he is going to put up $20 million of his own money to challenge country house and three other horses to another race before the end of the year. he wants the other owners to put up $5 million a piece on their horses. anyone who beats maximum security would win $5 million and if you lose, you lose $5 million. he just wants to promote the sport of horse racing. you can catch the preakness

steaks here at 5:30 eastern. >> let's look to our expert on the forecast. >> i don't know what they can do with horse racing. but depending on where you are around the country. looking real nice other than a smaterring of showers. look at the southeast. temperatures in the 90s. the area of severe weather, that's because of the difference in temperatures and wear that exists. you are going to see the threat of severe weather rolling through the upper midwest and rolling plains states. 80s and 90s to the south. where that collides, that's where the rough stuff is. in montana, upwards of a foot of snow. up two feet of snow? upper areas

good saturday morning. it is 5:26. we are taking a live look outside at the radar this morning. showing some spots of green there on this may saturday. not surprising at this point considering the rain we saw this past week. thanks so much for joining us. we are under a micro climate weather report. let's have a look at that. >> we want to forewarn you that we are tracking another storm. we have already got the chance to see one storm which is, of course, unusual. but we have another one just offshore. that's going to bring showers, spreading from north to south initially. so the north bay will see showers first. then we'll see it in san

francisco. then it will spread south. the temperatures will be cooler today. similar to yesterday. expect to see gusty conditions through the mid-morning. the temperatures are chilly in the 40s. 48 degrees in san jose. 46 in walnut creek. expect, again, to keep the cool temperatures really all day long. we'll be in the upper 50s and 60s. keep the umbrella and a coat handy. it will be chilly and also windy. not to mention the fact that we could see isolated thunderstorms into the evening hours. we are tracking the incoming storm as we head to the evening and into sunday morning. i'll give you the exact breakdown of the timing coming up at 7:00 a.m. >> that will be important to see. thanks. this weekend's rain will impact many events across the bay area from graduations to breakers tomorrow. there is a lot going on this weekend. crews are keputting the final touches on memorial stadium.

thousands of students will graduate today. rain drops will disguise the tear crops as thousands of parents see their kid get their college diploma. >> it rained the day she was born and the day i got married. this is a happy moment, a dream come true. >> it's inconvenient, but rain is a good omen. >> that's what my mom says. good news for parents and family members attending graduation at cal. the university lifted the umbrella ban for the ceremony. good news there. meanwhile in san francisco, prep continues for beta breakers where participants know race day won't be perfect. they are adjusting to the wet weather forecast. >> i'm underprepared as far as the costume goes, but i hope to find a cute poncho and give it my all. >> keeps you cool for one. >> i don't feel as tired. i get a little extra burst of energy. >> a cute poncho, i love it.

from little luca and the advice he has for other families. reports of dozens of tornadoes in the plains and midwest. >> take a look at this, accuweather's reed timmer got caught in the path of a twister, he turned his back to the fierce winds, flying all around him. 18 states and 40 million people are in the middle of a multi-day severe system that's expected to produce damaging winds, hail, even life threatening flooding over the next few days. hundreds of migrant detainees are now arriving in san diego. customs officials have begun flying asylum seekers from the southern border to other parts of the u.s. officials say facilities in texas are overwhelmed. 1,000 undocumented immigrants crossed the border in march and april. officials insist decisions on relocating migrants will not be made on a political basis.

gotten a dpliglimpse of him. now we are learning a little bit more from an official record. kristen dahlgren has more. >> can you see little archie tooling around in that lego bugatti. i like it. still waiting for my first in-person glimpse at archie. i did get a look at his birth certificate. a little piece of paper that answers those burning questions you had about the royal birth. while we have now seen baby archie bundled up and fast asleep, until now, there was a lot we didn't know about just how the 7th in line to the british throne came into this world. in his newly obtained birth certificate, archie arrived may 6th not at their home but rather at a london hospital. >> even though meghan has let it be known she wants a home birth, it was probably very realistic

that her first child at 37 was going to be born at a hospital. the certificate lists the private hospital in westminster, not the london hospital where kate middleton posed with her three newborns. >> meghan didn't want to do what kate had done. she didn't want to come out within hours of birth, and full hair and makeup. the certificate shows the mother as her royal highness, the duchess. the same as what kate listed for her occupation. baby archie has already met his grandmother the queen, and according to the daily mail, the little one met william and kate for the first time on tuesday. and this weekend, a special time for the new parents. the one-year anniversary of their wedding. and what an eventful year it has been. so no word on how they plan to celebrate that anniversary. we do know, though, that prince

harry is at another royal wedding this morning, the queen's first cousin once removed, lady gabriella windsor getting married down the road from frogmore college. harry making a surprise appearance there this morning. meghan, though, cwas not with him, assuming she has a lot going on at home. >> if archie is already in a tux, we're in business. we are finding out this morning that prince william opened up, sincere comments about the death of his mother, princess diana, and how that affected him. a recently released clip from a bbc documentary, what did he say? >> right. and this was a documentary about men's mental health, and so he was very open about the pain of it. he has been through it. the idea to get other men to open up about things they are going through. take a listen. >> i think when you are bereaved at a young age, any time really, you feel pain like no other

pain, and you know that your life is going to be very difficult to come across something that's going to be even worse pain than that. >> he acknowledges that there is this british stiff upper lip but he says sometimes you really just need to talk about it with people. it's a good thing. >> the whole generation, the whole world mourned the loss of his mom. thank you very much. let's go to dave price with another check of the weather. >> nice to see you guys. what you get today depends on where you are. you are either walking around in shorts with sunglasses or you have two or three layers on. it's the warm air that's to the south and pushing to the east, and the cold air staying to the north in the plains states and stretching back into the rockies. look at that, 37 degrees right now in billings and we're into the 50s and 60s as we head to the south. it's where the two air masses collide that we see the threat of severe weather. later on today, 20 degrees below where we should be in minneapolis, meanwhile, we're at 91 degrees in charlotte. 75 in cleveland and 83 in chicago. well above our average there. and that's where, again, the

severe weather is going to begin to move toward the east. we're going to watch it. now, as we roll into sunday, all of that does begin to slide. watch these temperatures. 90 in raleigh. 83 in philadelphia. 80 in buffalo. that's almost 15 degrees above the norm. 83 in cincinnati. meanwhile, in bismarck, the high temperature, 53 degrees. that's about 20 degrees below where we would like to see it at this time of year. early next week, the area to focus on is to the southeast. look at those numbers in columbia. 95 degrees, and this is going to take us all the way through florida, and these numbers continue to climb for next week through the holiday weekend. a big, big warm make sure to take a coat and an umbrella as you head out this morning. we are tracking another round of storms as we head in towards the mid-morning. now we've got a cold front offshore. get ready. it will be moving north to south.

if you are headed anywhere near the north bay, expect to see the rain initially over the next hour or so. we have the approach making its way further inland. the temperatures now are in the 40s and 50s. expect to see cooler temperatures today. only topping out in the upper 50s, low 60s. that's a quick look at your weather picture. >> still to come, a tribute to the cat who certainly looks like a sour puss. how that permanent scowl, though, put a smile on the face of millions while making his owner a fortune rchlt . up next, a new way to make cash when you're not using a car if you d (meg vo) i can just suck up my endometriosis pain... or i can...

this allows people to rent out their car for cash. the car rental giants as you can imagine are not fans of this. they claim it's not a fair fight. nbc's geoff bennett is in washington with more. good morning, how does it work? >> reporter: hey, peter, good morning, turo and other car sharing companies give people to rent luxury and at affordable prices and give the car owners make money off their vehicles that might otherwise be parked. i downloaded the app, picked the car i wanted and the location i wanted it, and that was pretty much it. that sounds simple, right, but here's the deal, traditional rental car companies see churro as competition that's not playing by the same rules and now they're fighting back. >> i'm veronica. >> reporter: verionica tran is handing over the keys to her car to a total stranger joining

>> because if you are renting a car to an individual for profit, you need to abide by certain safety, tax, insurance rules and at this point, turo is not doing so. >> reporter: now, much like taxis are fighting back against uber and hotel chains battling air bnb, rental car giants are taking on turo, waging a legislative war by pushing bills in more than two dozen states that would redefine turo as a traditional rental car company. >> you can't compare someone who's sharing share car, you know, a few days a month and earning a few hundred dollars a month with a big corporation that's generating billions of dollars with a massive fleet of 2 million cars. >> the clash comes as the market changes and car sharing moves into the mainstream. >> now we get to put it on turo, and while we're not driving it, we can rent it out and it pays for itself. >> the car rental industry trying to keep pace with a shift in the business as companies like turo pick up speed.
