hi, everybody. good morning. welcome to tuesday. a long holiday weekend. nice to have you with us. >> right to that breaking news overnight. multiple tornados touching down in indiana and ohio overnight. there is a look at some of the damage. >> widespread damage and also power outages in the city of dayton. so much debris littered one interstate, snowplows had to be called in to clear a path for emergency vehicles. we will start our in-depth coverage with gabe gutierrez. he's made his way to dayton overnight. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. just a short time ago we heard from the mayor of nearby salina, ohio, who told us that one person died in the storms overnight in that area. throughout ohio at least 40 people have been injured, and you can see this path of destruction, how powerful these tornadoes were. this is an elementary school. the roof collapsed. you can see all the debris inside this classroom. this morning crews here in ohio

are out assessing the damage. >> tornado on the ground. >> reporter: hundreds of thousands of people getting a terrifying wake-up call overnight. in ohio -- >> you've got to get to shelter right now. >> reporter: multiple tornadoes touching down, sending residents racing for cover. >> we got out in maybe ten minutes later it came through. >> thought i was going to die. it's like out of a movie. you can never prepare for something like this. >> destroyed the house. >> reporter: a path of destruction stretching across dayton and the western part of the state. homes turned inside out. trees ripped from the ground. power poles snapped. an elementary school in a dayton suburb that would have been packed with children this morning was destroyed. windows blown out. the roof and many walls of the school gone. drivers urged to stay off the roads as snowplows were brought in to clear debris off at least one major highway. >> i've actually been with dayton for almost 31 years. and this is the first

significant tornado damage that we've experienced since i've been on the job. >> reporter: millions of people here in ohio are without power overnight. the small town of pendleton, indiana, also hit extremely hard. this is a situation that will have to be taken care of throughout the day. people are being urged to stay off the road. the search crews, again, out assessing the damage. one person confirmed killed. >> gabe, thank you so much. we are joined by the sheriff of montgomery county, rob streck. >> sheriff, give us a sense of it. as you said, it's just daylight now. how bad is this? how deva how devastating was this tornado? >> you can definitely see the path of the tornado, whether it was from brookville to harrison township into troutwood. there's extensive damage reserdeni res reser-- residences, trees uprooted, power outages, gas, it's extensive

>> i know that there have been a number of injuries reported. what more can you tell us about that >> luckily as of right now there's been no real serious injuries which is amazing when you see the amount of damage that's done. we'll update that as search teams go into actual houses. >> how did this unfold last night, sheriff i understand it was essentially in the middle of the night did people have warnings >> it all started around 9:30. different areas of the county. where we're at now in harrison township, it was about 10:30 when it hit. so the news hadn't been covering it the local news coverage. but it did come up awful quick, and it was one of the most severe storms i'd ever seen. >> we're going to learn more, of course, about the strength of this tornado and also the breadth of it. do you have a sense of how much.

your area was impacted >> like i said, there's some rural areas that was affected in brookville their local school was struck just like the one that's behind me and then when we got into harrison and troutwood, you know, mother nature dense areas a lot of damage. you can definitely see the path it took. >> sheriff, thank you so much for your time, sir >> thank you >> thank you well, let's get more on these tornadoes where this risk is headed. al has been watching it. al this seems like such a bad spate of weeks for the midwest >> guys, this is unprecedented the last time we had this number of tornadoes for a consecutive period of time was 1980. we've had 13 consecutive days with at least eight tornadoes. so far, we've had 323 tornado reports. as far as severe weather is, over 2,200

a coast-to-coast phenomenon stretching all the way from the delmarva peninsula to the coast. 22 states have seen tornadoes, and we're not done yet here's what we're starting with today. the area of heavy that affected ohio, that's moving into the northeast now. we're watching that. back to the west through the plains, we have more severe weather firing up. in fact, weals had severe thunderstorm warnings in effect. we're watching this. as far as today, seven states with storm hazards for damaging winds, hail, a tornado possible, and back nine more states with 20 million people from texas and oklahoma all the way into illinois then tomorrow, more. a risk for 44 million people texas all the way into the northeast. here's what we're looking at for today. the first system moves through, brings heavy rain, thunderstorms into the northeast secondary system developing in the plains and the midwest today. that moves into tonight and on into tomorrow with strong storms firing up from texas all the way to illinois. with heavy rain and a risk of flooding

airport delays, stretching back, denver, omaha, kansas city, chicago, and pittsburgh. and we're looking at rough roads from salt lake on i-80 all the way to new york city, boston to cleveland on i-90, des moines to kansas city, i-35's going to be a mess the other big story is the flash flood threat we have flash flood warnings now stretching into only la -- into omaha. seven million people at risk the rivers are a big problem kansas city, st. louis, davenport, the missouri river, the mississippi river, the arkansas river, all looking at flood stage, moderate or major flood stage. this is a major problem, and this is going to be a slow-motion disaster as we move into there week. craig? >> all right based on what you showed us it does not look or sound like there will be relief when it comes to the historic planes across the southern plains rivers, as al mentioned, spilling over their banks after days of torrential rain. nbc's kerry sanders is in sand springs, oklahoma.

what's the scene there >> reporter: good morning, craig. this is what so many roads in oklahoma look like, flooded. the arkansas river is rising and is expected to reach historic levels in the next 24 hours. this morning in tu sa, a race against time. and rapidly rising waters. some neighborhoods underwater. some evacuees seeking refuge in red cross shelters. >> i was scared. i was crying, thinking i was going to drown. >> reporter: the army corps of engineers trying to relieve pressure on the keystone dam by releasing water equal to 180 olympic-sized swimming pools a minute but the plan has considerable risks. >> more pressure on the levy system it has never been tested the way it's being tested right now. >> reporter: the oklahoma national guard sandbagging levies built during world war ii as the floodwaters rise, 170 have been damaged like this and

homeowners are only now discovering that if they didn't have federal flood insurance, they are not covered some residents leaving town. this man staying behind, armed in an attempt to ward off looters. >> don't come down here stealing i ain't got much, but what i got i intend to keep. >> reporter: sandbags surrounding the oklahoma aquarium the greatest worry a loss of power could kill the largest collection of bull sharks in the world. >> maybe we can evacuate them, too. i don't know it would be hard to find a place for 300-pound bull sharks. >> reporter: about an hour from here is the small mountain town of brags it was surrounded by water and cut off. so the 300 people there who decided not to evacuate had no supplies the electricity got cut off. there was no water the food was running short so 15 men decided to take on an impossible task and cut a path to the town. it was a seven-mile path the first trucks to arrive

overnight brought food and water. so happy ending there. but there is a big problem that continues along the arkansas river and around this area. >> kerry sanders in sand springs. thank you. also this morning the president is making his way home after a four-day visit to japan. it was a busy one, too highlighted by disagreements over north korea's nuclear threat and meetings with japan's new emperor and service members. chief white house corresponden hallie jackson traveled with the president. she joins us from tokyo. hi, hallie, good morning >> reporter: hey, savannah, good morning to you the president lands in washington later today after that trip here in tokyo meant to reinforce his friendship with japan's leader, although the two still split on north korea and even overseas president trump did not leave domestic politics at home his down time dominated by attacks on democrats, including a possible 2020 rival. with a wave president trump boarded his plane today after boarding this ship to greet

troops on memorial day, signing hats on the uss wasp south of tokyo. >> i like to be back in the u.s., as you do, for that day. we did a lot of great things for the last three days. >> reporter: the remarks cap a trip filled with friendly stops. sumo, golf, a royal visit. but it hasn't been without tension abroad and at home with the president seemingly preoccupied with potential 2020 rival joe biden, tweeting anyone associated the 1994 crime bill will not have a chance of being elected. that's a reference to the tough on crime law that biden championed that passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. it's criticized now for going too far. while some democrats questioned biden's support of the bill, his primary challengers are defending him in the face of the president's other attack, when he sided with north korean leader kim jong-un over the former president >> he is a murderous dictator. the vice president biden served

this country honorably it's one more example of the way this president tries to draw attention to himself by saying things that shock the conscience. >> reporter: it's not just democrats. congressman kinsinger calling it just plain wrong the president's taking shots at biden while praising a dictator. after a tweet the president defended in tokyo. >> kim jong un made a statement that joe biden is a low-i.q. individual he probably is based on his record i think i agree with him on that joe biden was a disaster i am not a fan. >> reporter: the president holding out hope kim will eventually denuclearize despite recent missile tests that allies, even the president's own national security advisor see as a violation of the u.n. resolution. >> perhaps he wants to get attention and perhaps not. who knows? it doesn't matter. >> reporter: it will be a fairly short stay for president trump

back home in washington. he heads out overseas again next week to france to commemorate the 75th anniversary of d-day and to the u.k. for his first official state visit there he will almost certainly be received less warmly in london than in tokyo with protests already planned there. savannah >> hallie jackson, thank you very much. now to the rising death toll on mount everest an american climber died yesterday after reaching the summit raising new concerns with overcrowding take a look at this unbelievable image. this is a picture that was taken by nims eprsia it shows the situation at the summit a logjam of climbers senior international correspondent keir simmons has more on that keir, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it really is just a stunning image isn't it, that line of climbers trying to make their way towards the summit as this morning concerns deepening about the way climbers on the mountain are managed. nbc news reached out to the

nepalese government. we have not received a response. this morning horror on the world's highest mountain a second american climber dead in just ten days chris, from colorado, reportedly celebrated his 62nd birthday o mount everest. he died after his descent from the mountaintop. pictures show lines to reach the summit taken on a treacherous ridge. a traffic jam of climbers at more than 20,000 feet. a canadian filmmaker claims a climbers was left hanging from safety lines others forced to step over his dead body. the route to the summit presenting challenges. those lines of climbs are in everest's so-called death zone named for the dangerously low oxygen levels proving fatal for some. >> extremely dangerous part of the mountain. >> reporter: brad made it up five days ago, because he says he saw large numbers of climbers with too little experience. >> you want to run the boston

marathon, you have to be qualified. but there is no check and balance to make sure that people are up to the challenge of climbing mount everest. >> reporter: the nepalese government accused of overselling permits, blaming the overcrowding on too few weather days this season nepal issued a record 381 permits to foreign climbers. this month 11 climbers reported dead or missing in conditions described as like a zoo. 55-year-old donald cash from utah los his life from altitude sickness last week. >> the last message he sent to me personally, i love this he said, i feel so blessed to be on the mountain that i read about for the last 40 years. >> reporter: on friday, irishman kevin hines died after turning back at 23,000 feet. on saturday robin hayes fisher collapsed and never regained consciousness, earlier written online about his fear of overcrowding

then chris callish taken monday, his family telling nbc news he died doing what he loved, writing in a statement he saw his last sunrise from the highest peak on earth. >> keir, a couple of things there. they are talking about the crowding, but also more inexperienced climbers trying to make that trek >> reporter: yeah, that's right, savannah they had a short weather window this season. those inexperienced climbers, according to experienced climbers, can sometimes take minutes to carry out an operation that might normally take seconds if you imagine in that line, if one or two climbers is doing that, it risks everyone, risks their exposure, risks them running out of oxygen. climbers are talking about every person for themselves up there you know, savannah and craig, no one goes to the top of mount everest just to take an instagram selfie they take it seriously but this morning the question, are they taking the risks seriously enough. >> and i think another question is, is the government of nepal doing enough to protect the people

after being airlifted out of the jungle. the 35-year-old yoga instructor and physical therapist suffered a fractured leg, severe sunburns and a skin infection. she said she stopped to meditate and rest and got disoriented without her phone or gps. >> this is where she was. >> reporter: troy helmer, part of the rescue team that foof th her, took us to the trailhead where she began her hike. >> she ran up. then she cut sideways and ran a mile across the woods at the top of the mountain. she ran down the road. >> reporter: as opposed to coming back? >> yes it's so steep and so many box canyons, you are not coming out of there. >> reporter: she ended up five miles deep into the jungle the terrain unforgiving. >> it came down to life and death and i had to choose, and i chose life i wasn't going to take the easy way out. >> reporter: she survived on jungle fruit and river water, sleeping in mud for warmth, and even crawling when she could no longer walk after falling off a 20-foot cliff. after two weeks of searching her

family never gave up. >> hallelujah. >> if anybody could survive that it was her >> there she goes. >> i never experienced anything like this where it's just the community is showing up with so much freaking heart and so much passion. these guys were not going to give up on me, thank god [ cheers and applause >> reporter: now celebrating and giving thanks to the community that never lost hope. >> amanda! >> reporter: now, she is home with her family now. we will hear from her later today. apparently, the wounds on her legs are particularly excruciating she is in for a long recovery road ahead we will hear from her at the hospital really looking forward to hearing more of her story. >> thank you so much. we are joined by two of amanda eller's friends, javier cantellops found and rescued amanda, and sara haines helped coordinate the search effort good morning to you. >> good morning. >> hi. >> i see a lot of smiles there,

and for good reason. do i have this right -- amanda was actually at the party for her rescuers last night? she came >> that's right. she definitely was >> and how is she? i am blown away by that. >> she is doing great. she has a little bit of one step backward, two steps forward situation. but she is spiritually great she is going through a very grueling process on her legs where they need to remove the tops of the wounds it's very painful, much like a burn victim. and so physically she has gone backward a little bit. she walked out of the hospital now she is in a wheelchair it's all part of the healing process, s she is still moving forward. >> javier, what did she say to all the folks that worked so hard for this day to come? >> she was absolutely -- she was actually incredible to see her i mean, for one, she looked gorgeous out there she was so incredibly gracious to every single person that came to her and just showed

appreciation and love and listening and taking all the love towards her she was incredible out there i mean, she was really, really poised it was a beautiful thing to see. >> i love reading about how this entire community, some friends, some strangers came together to help her javier, will you take us back to that moment when, after 17 days, you spotted her from the helicopter >> man, that moment will live down in the depths of my soul forever. after 17 days of pushing and searching and miles and miles and hundreds of man hours and just so many people coming out to volunteer, we're in the helicopter and we're pretty much, we got five minutes left pretty much in fuel before we have to head back to the heliport after we were going to do a simple reconnaissance, line of sight search. we are coming up this waterfall i look down and she appears out of the woods it can only be described as magic.

i mean, it was absolutely magic. >> and -- >> and the greatest single moment of my life. >> hers, too, i don't doubt. the way i understand it, she was really somewhere so far away, so far beyond where the search area was, and it sounded like she, herself, thought this might have been it, that she laid down and thought, all right, this might be it? >> yeah, she had, you know, it's only six or so miles away from base camp where her car was, but as the helicopter flies. but as she went, it was about 30 miles. and she had finally -- she had been jumping some waterfalls and things to try to get lower down. there was no way out so she'd go into water she ended up in this area between two waterfalls a really steep canyon. at this point she's got a broken leg and no shoes

she slept early on, she slept in a boar's cave and woke up to a flash flood and the flash flood took away -- she set her shoes and socks out to dry and it took away her shoes and socks she was doing 10, 12 days without her socks and shoes in this very rugged terrain sharp rocks. so, yeah, she was stuck. she was pretty much crawling at that point and so it was amazing. and she had kind of resigned herself to like talking to the universe and saying, hey look, i really don't want to go, but if this is my highest purpose for some reason, then i'll accept it but i'm really hoping that you'll allow me to have a higher purpose with this story and my situation. then they flew over. she was only in that area for a day and a half. >> and javier, quickly, as i understand it, this was an area that her boyfriend had kind of urged y'all to check out it was a little bit off the beaten path, so to speak, and you were almost out of helicopter fuel?

>> yeah, that's really it. you know, ben had mentioned kailua early on, honestly. so it was like, man, that's far away, man, you know what i mean? i remember thinking that dude, that's far away. then like two, three days went by i was like, you know what? i remember going up to ben and being like, you know what, man i am starting to feel like we may need to push out and you may be right i think she maybe pushed out you may be right, man. we were really far out at that turnaround point we were going to see her and, you know, we had this miracle, or it would have been just the turn of luck if we would have looked left when we were passing that spot at the waterfall and shot home and never seen her. >> a little dot. you can see in the pictures it's a little dot. >> it is miraculous. such a moving story in terms of her will to survive, her skills and the love of people like you. javier and sarah, thank you so much for getting up early or staying up late, as it may be in hawaii we really appreciate it.

>> thank you. >> they are all smiles for good reasons. >> here is the thing she had the perfect crew looking for her, you know? >> yeah. the other thing, part of her story, she had a lot of certainly the internal strength. things she ate and didn't eat, the water she drank and didn't drink. it will be good to hear her story today. >> i would have been out the first hour. >> like my cell is not working. >> that's it, i'm done. >> i know. >> see you later i'm out. let's show you what we have got going on today we are watching this area of showers and thunderstorms into the northeast. this is a part of the line that caused problems in ohio. then back to the west we now have a severe thunderstorm warning throughout central iowa. another area of showers and thunderstorms coming in. the other big story, the heat. huge dome of high pressure in the southeast. potential record highs today throughout thursday. we are looking at record highs today for wilmington also for atlanta, savannah,

been successfully managed. there are three symptoms. >> feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance from one's job or negativity and cynicism related to one's job and reduced professional effectiveness. >> check, check, and check nbc news medical correspondent who is invigorated and happy to be here, dr. john torres a lot of people have times of stress at their jobs how do you know if you are actually experiencing this can be condition known as burnout? >> it's interesting. when people hear the symptoms they are like, i have been there before we all have stress stress goes hand in hand with what we do every day we are able to handle that stress as humans, we get the stress, handle it, get it under control, come back the next day and do it over and over again. if it's continuous, it turns in burnout. it doesn't go away i tell people you can tell you have burnout if you don't want to go to work, don't want to be there. or having issues with work so again the two go hand in

hand stress is it something we can handle and control burnout not necessarily. >> boy, what can we do about it? a lot of folks have jobs that are very stressful and oftentimes i would imagine that is what leads to the burnout. >> you can quit on live tv. >> no, i'm not quite there. >> you want to recognize the symptoms recognize the cynicism, the fact that you are at work and you simply don't want to be there. you're burning out you are not able to enjoy the things you used to enjoy take time off from work. that means completel disconnect over the three-day holiday, people hopefully were able to get away a little bit. if worse comes to worse and none of these seems to be working, look for another job if you can. consider changing jobs >> what can management do to help alleviate this? >> a couple of things. one is give you time off where they don't get a hold of you that is the biggest thing. we have been there on the weekends where we are answering emails and taking care of things if you can check out completely. i tell people imagine if you went on a camping trip and couldn't answer your cell phone for three days, that's the break

you need it might not be three days long, but you need it every now and then if you're getting to the point look at your employees if they look like they are burning out, starting to be cynical, a little snippy and arguing with each other, productivity is going down, that's probably a good sign burnout is happening a good manager needs to say -- >> you can't realistically quit or get a new job, are there little things on the job every day? >> little things to help out, again first and foremost recognize that burnout is happening and try to see if you can disconnect a little bit. talk to your managers and say this is one of those things i want to take care of, i want to get under control. when you go home a big thing to think about is simply get away from this for a while. even if it's just for 20 minutes, 30 minutes. disconnect from your cell phone and that doesn't just necessarily mean work, but social media as well. >> even take a little walk at work or something, it would probably help a little bit. >> me time is extremely important. and the thing is you don't want to live to work.

you want to work to live. >> amen. >> that's the big thing. >> dr. john, thank you very much. mr. roker, let's get a check of the weather. >> all right here we go. >> come on, al >> sorry. i love my job. i'm very lucky we have got some wet weather making its way into the northeast. this is part of that system that caused all the damage in ohio and back to the west we still have severe thunderstorm watches and warnings now starting to threaten a good portion of iowa. for today a severe threat seven states, 28 million people in the northeast, and back to the plains we are looking at nine states with 20 million people. tornados can't be ruled out here either and that goes into tomorrow stretching from texas all the way into the northeast for 44 million people. good morning. it is 8:15. if this is your first day heading back to work, we're tracking a warm-up on the way. right now, as you head outside,

posed in front of the world war ii memorial, posting always thinking of my best friend and the bravest military in the world who made the ultimate sacrifice and while rob lowe and chris pratt's album is likely fake, miley cyrus' isn't the project is called "she is coming" and miley revealed in an interview with bbc radio 1 she is going to be doing something unconventional this time around. >> it's going to be, you know, a crazy year, i'm dropping kind of a project in a different way i don't want to say too much about it but i am doing something very new. we were talking about like streaming. we were talking about the way that music is done differently now. and i think, especially because i am in the position like i never want to get behind, i always want to be ahead. i am going to try in a different way, taking advantage of the way music's changed. >> we will look forward to seeing what she comes out with that is slated to come out this friday. finally, the royals usually keep their emotions in check but yesterday rare, one of them was in rare form prince william attended the

playoff championship final at wembley on monday. when the whistle blew signaling the end of the game, prince william had quite the reaction ' >> that's it whether it's a former player or a prince, it means so much >> now, the win meant that the team achieved promotion to the premier league i have no idea what that means certainly happy for prince william. is it on nbc >> nbc sports. >> yes. >> that's your "popstart." guess who is here? tina fey believe it or not, it has been 15 years, 15 since gretchen wiener tried to make stuff happen in "mean girls. she wrote the film that is not all we are celebrating today.

no her hit broadway show based on the movie "mean girls" completed the freshman year. we have news about that, too good morning. >> good morning, savannah. >> 15 years, where were you 15 years ago? i was here promoting the movie >> i was i was working across the street at "snl. i would go to toronto to shoot the movie. i would drive overnight to toronto. >> why >> do "snl," and get in a camper and be driven. i don't know. >> just roughing it? >> just roughing it. >> hitting the truck stops between here and there >> yeah. >> this is your first screenplay >> yeah, first, and so far only screenplay, weirdly enough yeah, this is the first thing. i was a writer on "snl." i saw an article in "the new york times" about a writer who wrote a book about relational aggression i was like, i want to make a movie about that, and they let me now it's 15 years later. >> not only did they let you as i understand it they never brought in another writer, which is like a very hollywood thing to do.

it's not an insult they usually bring in other writers and polish the script. they didn't have anyone else touch it >> yeah, that is rare especially at that time this awesome woman who ran paramount pictures at the time never took it away from me i was a first-time screenwriter. a lot of times, we are going to get these two older guys to fix it i think that's why the movie worked for people is it kind of had one writer's voice it's a real good thing to let writers do their thing. >> i don't know how to tell you this, but i did not see "mean girls" for years i saw it within the last year or two and i loved it and it also made me realize that like being a mean girl apparently never goes out of style. >> this is the thing this is what i think is good about the broadway show is that the thing of relational aggression, the way people shade each other, not only -- i feel like women are doing better. now i feel like the behavior has kind of spread to everyone and you have like -- the idea of like, you know, calling someone stupid won't make you any

smarter. we need to tell it to like the president and the speaker of the house. the behavior of adults -- >> you are saying "mean girls" culture has expanded >> metastasized. yes. everyone see the show, be reminded of your core values. >> do the rope course. the trust tree or whatever with ms. norberry >> yes, the trust fall with ms. norberry >> when you were proceed to do a musical about this, did you immediately say yes or were you thinking - >> yeah, actually, i did immediately say yes. other people had come to me, like can we make this musical? i am like, i don't own it. i had to get permission to make the musical. i felt like it has so much emotion underneath it and if you -- i don't know if you had a chance -- >> i have seen it. i went with my mom we loved it. we really loved it we laughed so hard the music is great i know your husband did it. >> my husband and another gentlemen. it's a good fitness -- i am told it's great for running, the soundtrack

if i ran, i would. but, yeah. so you get to kind of dig deeper emotionally and stuff. also a fresh batch of jokes because, of course, i couldn't like -- >> yeah, you had to update it a little bit. >> yeah. >> we didn't have social media that mean years ago. >> yeah, in the movie it's three-way calling which i would have had to explain to my kids what that was to make jokes about it. >> did social media replace the three-way calling? >> yeah, and made everything worse. everything is terrible. >> now back to you how about your daughters because they are actually -- they are getting -- not that they will be mean girls, but they are getting into the mean girls age? >> yeah. because my younger daughter who is 7 has seen the show a bunch of times and of course was like, let's play like oh, you are skimming off the top. she is like i'll play regina george i am like, we are missing a layer at 7, but it's fine. >> plays katy? sells i

"the voice" comes to a halt. tell us about the songwriting process. what are we going to see

>> for 100 years it's been behind closed doors. i equate everything -- i do a lot of food analogies. you are about to have a food segment. 15 years ago everybody being obsessed with watching people cook and chefs was preposterous. now we are obsessed. the two most consumed things in the world are food and music this cracks the code on the music kpoentd. -- music component. we are letting you into the kitchen. >> this is how hit songs are written, collaborative process, lyrics and melody falling from the sky. it's kind of like musical sorcery. >> but for people who watch "the voice" it's simple, right? people have incredible voices. >> yeah. >> what will people who will watch, how will you know if is be has that it factor for songwriting? >> a lot of them do have good voices some don't it's more about do you have a point of view? could you have a story to tell can you turn a phrase? can you craft a word

like you think about everybody from beyonce to adele to ed sheeran, you equate them with stadiums, equate them with the super bowl halftime show none of that exists without the songs. if you don't have the songs, you don't have anything. >> you wrote "rumor has it" for adele. how do you write for adele >> well, during 21 25 was a different album than 21 my job is to support -- when i'm not doing the onerepublic thing i flip modes into support mode my goal is to get you talking and just let you, me shut up, and nine times out of ten you'll come up with the phrase. >> are you writing to paper? >> i am taking mental notes. with "rumor has it," adele walks in and she is like, i am so mad, i don't want to talk about it, people in london, my friends are saying rumor has it that adele has gone off, done this with this guy and this with the other guy. i didn't do any of it. it's a rumor i was like, there it is.

>> we are going to write a song called "rumour has it, she spelled it with a u because she is british i pulled up a guitar bluesy rift and started stomping on the ground ♪ she ain't real ♪ she ain't gonna be able to love you ♪ ninkt first thing out of her mouth. >> you should win. you would win in a second. >> i am secretly entering my avatar next career. >> you are like a mentor on the show with ester dean, who has written for beyonce. >> yeah. >> and rihanna. >> we are kind of like -- yeah, ester dean is brilliant. shane mcanally number one writer in country music. he did "rainbow," kacey musgraves. so our chemistry is nuts the three of us don't really compete against each other too much we are trying to help the writers on the show. one of the cool things about the show, you get to see the artists and how talented they are. like you are going to freak out. when you see john legend sit down and start playing a song in whatever key he wants. charlie puth calling out the key of a record because he is a savant nick jonas writing a verse, going in chorus on piano

it's all happening in real time. >> you did rescue me, onerepublic on our show. new music soon from the group? >> yeah. my goal is to drop a new song ever four to six weeks this is ambitious, for like the next two years i had two years to chill. >> what about an album >> we are doing an album dropped four songs by the fifth song, here is an album. then start the process all over. >> ed sheeran was here he released castle on the hill, the two singles on the same day. they couldn't have been more polar opposite why did you do that? they are so different on the record, if they both go, i know the album is good. it's changed -- sa miley talked about it. it's changed so much, the way the music business is. >> streaming has changed the entire system the way i can't explain. the way people consume music is a lot. if you give me something new and i like you as an artist, three weeks later i have moved on. you better give me something new again. i don't like to say more is more because you want it to be quality and it needs to be

curated. but more is more. >> enter story on instagram. >> yeah, fuel that thing we are all -- everybody now has developed this weird adhd. if you weren't add four years ago -- >> you don't sill sixth for -- you don't sit for meals you have to snack on your favorite artist. grazing all the time >> my goal is to keep your metabolism up as much as possible. >> we will be watch. "songland" premieres tonight 10-9 central on nbc. ryan is back on the fourth hour. we have ester and -- >> we have ester and shane they are back there somewhere. >> i am on in the fourth hour with jenna first,

>> jacob soboroff is here. good morning >> human trafficking is the use of force, fraud or coercion to get somebody to provide work it takes on many forms labor trafficking is by far the most pervasive last week federal prosecutors indicted five people who had allegedly trafficked 14 adults all the way from georgia to wisconsin to work on farms authorities say crimes like it are happening in the united states every single day despite the fact that the total number of trafficking victims in the u.s. remains unknown los angeles international airport. a gateway to the world for tens of millions of passengers a year passengers who may be witnessing a horrific crime without even knowing it this is the men's restroom at lax. the reason i am in here, this is an advertisement targeted towards victims of human trafficking. they want the victims to call this national human trafficking hotline. the reason it's in the bathroom is this is one of the only places trafficking victims are

ever alone from l.a. we flew to washington, d.c., where those calls are answered >> this is where it happens. folks are reaching out 24 hours a day seeking assisting in trafficking situations >> reporter: calls come in from all over the country and involve potential victims from all over the world. the international labor organization says over 40 million people are trafficked worldwide. the vast majority in labor slavery. that includes jobs in domestic service, farm work, restaurants, construction, and service industries you may get more sex trafficking calls, but that's not necessarily reflective of what type of trafficking is the majority in the united states? >> labor trafficking has to be force against your will to work. you thought you were going to be a manager. you are forced to be a maid. >> reporter: in los angeles an attorney works on behalf of trafficking victims at the thai community development center here.

>> the majority are labor trafficking cases. a lot of times they work at a restaurant and they are not paid correctly. they feel like they can't go anywhere else. many times victims don't self-identify as victims. >> reporter: even though they might be essentially a slave >> right. >> reporter: we went to meet some of the trafficking victims she has represented. hi jacob. this house in east hollywood is where a handful of 1,100 trafficked migrant thai farm workers live today if you wanted to go home to thailand, were you able to go home >> translator: i couldn't because they took our passports. >> reporter: they took everybody's passports? everybody's passport they took way? >> yes. >> reporter: they lived and worked in conditions like these in hawaii and washington state they were given $9 a day to live on but that stopped after a month. because it wasn't what they were promised they asked for help and arranged for a labor attorney to visit the farm and the traffickers found out. >> translator: the supervisor actually came back with some security guards with guns. they had short guns and long guns.

>> reporter: eventually the u.s. granted them -- they were able to bring their wives and children over from thailand. what did it make you think and feel when your parents had such a long time in order to give you this life in l.a.? >> oh, my gosh. >> reporter: oh, my gosh >> yeah. hard to describe. >> reporter: hard to describe because evidence can be ambiguous and potential victims afraid to talk as producer arne hinkle and i found out in monterey park just outside of l.a he was tipped off from a source that there are human trafficking victims living in an apartment right there on that corner >> yeah, right down the street. >> reporter: okay. here is the building i am a journalist. this is my colleague we are doing a story about the economy in the area. okay he says he has been promised a lot and it hasn't panned out. he says bosses here are very bad. >> reporter: the bosses are bad? >> he says american bosses are better the chinese bosses are bad. >> reporter: to speak more freely he came out on the

sidewalk with us >> so he says a lot of times the chinese bosses in his experience they haven't paid him what they said they were going to pay him. he is here for 20 days then off to florida then he is off to new york he is working all over the country. >> reporter: if you wanted to leave and go back to china, could you go as soon as we asked that question he told us he left something on the stove so we followed him and we were greeted by a man who had been inside that same apartment. >> okay. shut up! >> reporter: okay, okay, okay. >> we don't have any idea. >> reporter: it was clearly time to leave so we headed to show our footage to deputy los angeles city attorney who heads an anti-labor trafficking task force. >> he seemed to be free to talk about it until you asked about china. >> reporter: there are signs this might be a trafficking situation. he is not wearing handcuffs. he is not trapped inside the building how do we know for sure? >> that's the challenge because this is not a physical force situation. remember, coercion takes different forms.

>> we are watching that piece there and wondering, if you suspect that someone might be in a situation where they are being forced to work against their will, what are the signs >> and that's the thing. it's not always literal confinement, somebody being held prisoner in the case of that gentleman, and we don't know for sure if he is being trafficked, people leaving town constantly and doing a bunch of different jobs. when people express that they are not getting ultimately what they had been promised when they went and showed up for a job, and that's why resources like the national trafficking hotline are so important you can get on the phone, call that number if you suspect that somebody you see or know is being trafficked here is the number right there and tell the signs to the people on the call center and they will help you figure it out. >> did you take any direct action >> well, the most important thing you can do is start a conversation again like with that gentleman, even though we didn't know for sure, getting details like the fact that he says i can't go back to china on my own is a tell that means he can't get out if he wanted to and that's important to know.

>> we will put that phone number on the website as well thank you. we are back a moment.in

this morning on "today food" a very special guest this morning on "today food" a very special guest cooking for us she has a new book out, recipes and antics from a modern american family. and get this "the new york times" says it is one of the best cookbooks to be released this spring that's high praise. >> yeah. unreal. >> good morning to you as i understand it, the entire cookbook is a nod to mom >> yeah, it is an ode to my mom's recipes. >> there is only one chicken dish in the entire cookbook. that's the one we are making >> totally so many cookbooks are chock full of chicken recipes i only need one. it's my aunt's chicken >> you had to negotiate, as i understand >> i had to ask her for at least

five times for the recipe. i pried it out of here. >> let's look at the ingredients. let's look at what's going into this dish. walk us through the dish >> it's a combination of ginger, garlic, cilantro, mint, and a bunch of spices. the star of which is a dry mango powder is tangy, has a funkiness that i think is the key to what makes this recipe so good. >> is that something you can get from a regular grocery store >> yes i have amazon prime. yeah no indian spices i feel like are more accessible than ever before, which is great. >> i love indian food, but i find the preparation intimidating. >> this cookbook is for you. every dish is one of those 25 minutes or less in terms of active time. the ingredient lists are simple. they are really straightforward. i feel like i want to break that misconception that indian food is heavy or complicated. something you can't do on a weeknight. >> let's dig in.

>> we are making the marinade. we have chopped cilantro and mint add in ginger and garlic. >> we have our tasting table assembled here. >> we have our lemon juice we have olive oil. and we are going to mix that into a little paste. i mean, yeah, these are all ingredients that are delicious i feel like when i'm making this how can i go wrong with tons of herbs and ginger and garlic. >> then skinless boneless breasts here >> yeah. >> and you prefer that for what reason >> i feel like they are what most home cooks are buying they are a cheap cut of meat they cook fast this method sort of low heat sort of kind of slow method yields the maximum juiciness i found. we are dumping in our spices mix that all up. >> got some cumin, i imagine >> got some cumin. it smells really, really good. you smell that >> i do smell that. >> this is the only recipe that

has caused me to want to eat chicken like carpaccio style when you see it marinading, it's so good. >> how long? >> 20 minutes to two hours two hours being ideal, but if you, you know, are short on time, no worry. >> carson, are you an indian food guy >> the key is in what you are doing right now. once you get that marinade, you are good from there? >> you are good. >> did you grill it? >> you could totally grill it. we have grilled it before. i think one of the things on -- >> there is a flavor profile that is intimidating to the average person but if you just get the ingredients, you are fine. >> totally all right. so we're just going to sear it on both sides on high heat this is a foolproof method for cooking chicken i have found as many breasts as will fit in the pan. >> really moist. >> so you are going to sear it on both sides for one to two minutes until it's golden. then cover it, cook it on low heat for ten minutes, turn the

heat off, let it sit for ten more minutes. >> voila. >> and you are good. >> the magic of television. >> the magic of television then you are going to cut it cut it into strips all right. just like that >> i want to taste this thing. >> yeah, do your thing. >> now we are going to -- what do we have here? red lentils? >> this is probably as basic as it gets with indian cooking. >> i like that >> yeah. this is like your everyday come home from a week night staple. it takes five minutes to cook. >> we are going to put the rest on the websitei )m - -... oakland mayor libby schaaf this morning plans to update the city on her push to fix a slew of potholes. oakland mayor libby schaaf this morning wants to fix a slew of potholes. council approved a $100 million plan to repave the road. oakland is ranked as having some of the worst roads in the bay area. we told you before about a
