alexander, kristen welker, and dylan dreyer. and welcome to "today" and thank you so much for joining us on this saturday morning. dylan, peter, great to be with you guys. >> it's more great to be with you this morning. we're still reveling in the exciting news and you and your husband john are expecting a baby girl with the help of a surrogate. we will celebrate that. also today we have important information for so many other couples in this country dealing with the challenges of in fertility. >> i'm so grateful with all the love and support. i was with dylan yesterday for the announcement. >> mr. i wish you were still here. . >> i do too. looking forward to sharing more about that and those important issues you mentioned, peter. first, we want to get right to our top story. the go ahead to bring back the johnson & johnson single-dose vaccine. the cdc and fda have given their approval to end the pause after

a very low number of blood clots and several deaths prompted questions. nbc's sam brock is at a vaccination site in miami with the very latest. sam, good morning to you. >> reporter: kristen, good morning. the j&j shots could be administered again as early as this morning. you talk about the cost benefit analysis. michelle walensky identifying 15 cases of severe blood clots compared to hundreds of hospitalizations prevented. >> the motion carries. >> reporter: with the cdc advisory panel vote, and the blessing of some of the health officials of the country, the johnson & johnson vaccine is back. . >> this is not a decision the agency has reached lightly. >> reporter: on pause for 10 days after a reports of a handful of blood clots and several deaths out of 7 million doses doled out. >> the american public should feel reassured about the safety

systems and protocols that we have in place. >> reporter: cdc director rochelle walensky laying out a total of 15 cases severe blood clots and low platelets. all affected were women, 18 to 59, with symptoms starting 15 days from vaccination. thraoel deaths occurred with seven women still hospitalized. that includes 18-year-old emma burki, who is out of a coma and on the road to recovery. >> she has been improving slowly and steadily. >> reporter: dr. walensky providing a window into the benefits of bringing j&j back. >> for every 1 million doses of this vaccine, the j&j vaccine could prevent over 650 hospitalizations and 12 deaths among women age 18 to 49. >> reporter: for older women, those numbers are more favorable. even as vaccine hesitancy reaches new heights. this site weeks ago was jammed with people. . >> oh, yes. and now it's nothing.

why? why people is not coming? and people are dying. >> reporter: the u.s. is still struggling with an average of more than 60,000 cases a day. while across the world, india looking at a full-blown crisis. hospital beds and oxygen tanks scarce. around the globe, a dire need for as many doses as possible. dr. walensky says one of the reasons they had to pause the j&j vaccine, they simply did not know, peter and kristen, how many cases of severe cases they had, later determined to be 15. dr. walensky said they will do extraordinary outreach to physicians and patients and health care officials to restore confidence again. >> yeah. that outreach could be critical. sam brock in miami starting us off. sam, thank you. >> dr. tropical freeden, director of the centers for disease control and prevention during the obama administration. now president and ceo of resolve

to save lives, a global health initiative. dr. freeden, we're glad you're with us and your expertise on this day. this is important because it resumes the johnson & johnson vaccines. how significant is it to get all americans, or as many as possible, vaccinated? >> it's important in two ways, peter. first off, it verifies that our safety system is working. this is what should happen when there's a signal, a risk. we stop, we look, we listen. they confirm it is extremely rare. they identified the group that should be warned. and then they resume. and the j&j vaccine has real advantages. it's a single dose. lots don't like needles. they want the one and done. it's easier to store. so it can be used in doctor's offices more readily. and it is simpler to be used. in outreach, for the homeless, door-to-door vaccination. there are lots of advantages for

those who want to receive it. and yesterday's deliberations were very clear, that the benefits far outweigh the risks for every group. but women who are under 50 may wish to receive the other vaccines, the mrna, pfizer, or moderna vaccines. >> dr. freeden, just to drill down on the point you're making a little bit, what is your message to those who still have reservations about the vaccine. and to be specific, who should be getting j&j? >> anyone who prefers j&j. those who can't get the mrna vaccines should get it. for women under the age of 50, you have to think twice. there is an extremely low but existing risk of a serious adverse event. the other thing, kristen, that did change the last 10 days as we learned more, is that it is now clear how to treat this clear complication. it is treated very differently than other clotting problems. usually you give a medicine

called heparin. in this case heparin can make it much worse. and you give different medicines that seem to be effective at reverse the adverse effect. so this is really a story of getting back on track. the bigger picture is globally there are not nearly enough vaccines. in the u.s., we have enough vaccines, we need to do much better reaching the unreached. that includes a diverse group of rural elderly who may have difficulty getting the vaccine for whom j&j may be helpful, black and latinx populations. we need to do better. there are still 40 million people over the age of 50 who have not yet been vaccinated. the sooner we vaccinate, the sooner we can get to the new normal. >> so many americans haven't been vaccinated. we need to reach roughly three-quarters vaccinated, roughly 50% of americans have received a shot to this point so

far. how concerned are you that we don't reach that mark and we stay in this perpetual state of having to wear a mask and socially distance. >> it's really important we keep up the pace and we target vaccines to where they will do the most good, including everyone over the age of 50, including communities where the virus has been spreading for months and vaccines are an important part of tamping that that down. we know vaccines work remarkably well, astonishing effective, and extremely safe. and covid unfortunately is getting more dangerous. with the variants, covid is spread more readily. and it looks to be more deadly for those who get one of the variant strains. so really we're in a race of vaccines against the variants. and the more we work together, the more we reach the unreached, the sooner we will get to a place where we can dispense with masks, where we can go back to working and schooling and getting together indoors and

outdoors. i think by summer, if things go well, things will be much better. and by fall, we could be, in the u.s., at the new normal if we keep the pace up. >> dr. tom frieden, we appreciate you waking up with us. >> new normal by fall sounds good. the other big story we are following, the weather. where some 17 million people in the southeast where watching for severe storms today, including hail, and possible tornados. dylan is tracking all of it. busy morning for you, dylan. >> a busy morning, and busy day too, with more severe weather expected. this is tornado video we got from yesterday in texas. it is very rare to see the spinning from the cloud and the ground and watching them meet up and creating the tornado. fortunately, it was in a mostly rural area. but there are five reported tornados. look at the size of that thing as it starts to pick up some of the debris and dirt. it ends up looking like that darker color. a terrifying sight in texas.

today the threat will shift into the southeast. you can see through alabama, georgia, the panhandle of florida. winds over 60 miles per hour. more tornadoes possible and large hail. and also we have the flash flood threat. rain heavy moving through mississippi. these lines of rain and thunderstorms moving through even across alabama right now where we are seeing some of the really heavy rain redevelops across the southeast into georgia. tonight the rain starts to push into the northeast. sunday morning starts off very damp. we will see this whole thing pull away by the time we get into sunday evening. kristen and peter, back to you guys. >> all right. we'll keep tracking it. dylan, thank you. president biden will spend his weekend in home in wilmington with his first address to a joint session of congress next week. on friday, the president wrapped up a two-day virtual summit with world leaders on climate change. nbc white house correspondent kelly o'donnell is joining us now with more.

good morning. >> reporter: good morning, peter. when the president addresses congress for the first time this coming week, it will look very different than past joint sessions. with covid restrictions only about 200 of the 535 lawmakers have been invited to attend in order to have more spacing. it is very different, yes. but it is also not the same as the virtual summit we saw play out on climate. it's another step toward a reopened world. promoting opportunity and optimism to world leaders. >> the summit is a start. >> reporter: president biden used his two-day virtual summit on climate to push for investment in cleaner and greener jobs and infrastructure. >> it's an economic imperative. i think it's a moral imperative to future generations. >> reporter: notably the president also signaled on climate, u.s. adversaries could play a role. >> i'm very heartened by

president putin's call yesterday for the world to collaborate and advance carbon dioxide removal. >> reporter: soon leaving behind virtual meetings for his first international travel. in june, the president will visit the united kingdom and belgium to attend the g7 summit in cornwall, england. and then participate in the nato summit in brussels. another first coming this week. president biden's first joint address to congress wednesday in primetime on the eve of his 100-day milestone. as republicans offered an alternative proposal on infrastructure. $568 billion for traditional roads, bridges, and the like. far less in cost and scope than the biden plan. >> this is the largest infrastructure investment that republicans have come forward with. this is a robust package. >> reporter: the white house is also expected to propose a steep tax hike on long-term capital

gains for wealthy americans to pay for social programs. >> it will only affect people making more than $1 million a year. that's .3% of taxpayers. >> reporter: republicans like pat toomey call it so punitive it would be leading to slower economic growth. as the white house claims to want republican votes for a jobs and infrastructure package, it says this is different than the kind of negotiation that happened for covid relief. they considered that an emergency and were willing to push it through quickly with only democrats. now, they say they have more time and want bipartisanship. peter, kristen. >> kelly o'donnell at the white house. kelly, thank you. now we head to north carolina where the governor has joined the growing calls of protesters demanding the release of body camera footage in the deadly shooting of andrew brown jr. seven sheriff's deputies are now on administrative leave after that shooting.

nbc's kathy park has more for us this morning. kathy, good morning to you. >> reporter: kristen, good mornin to you. frustration is building in elizabeth city, north carolina, where officials have released very few details on this shooting. and this weekend protesters say they will continue to march until they get more answers. this morning, seven deputies in north carolina are on administrative leave following the fatal shooting of andrew brown jr. the sheriff said three others designed. their decision to leave was unrelated to the incident. earlier this week, local authorities say deputies were attempting to serve brown a search and arrest warrant on a felony drug charge before it took a deadly turn. >> we have one male 49 years of age, show the in the back. >> reporter: brown was shot while driving away. the sheriff did not disclose details on what prompted the

deputies to open fire but says if there is evidence they violated the law, they will be held accountable. >> there's absolutely nothing to hide. the video has not been released. we're waiting on the district attorney. >> reporter: according to state law, it can only be released by court order. roy cooper joined the growing calls for transparency tweeting the body camera footage should be made available as quickly as possible. >> andrew brown! >> reporter: protests stretching into a third night with community members and family demanding justice for brown. >> i'm trying to get justice for my cousin because he was gunned down and it don't make sense. >> reporter: days after the conviction of derek chauvin, another city on edge facing mounting pressure to release details about a deadly law enforcement shooting. and later on this morning, the mayor and city manager of elizabeth city will be holding a press conference. meanwhile, the president has also been dressed on the

shooting. it's likely that he will leave it up to local authorities when it comes to the timetable of the release of body camera footage. kristen, peter. >> kathy park, thank you. now breaking news on the missing submarine with 53 sailors on board off the coast of bali. search crews recovered debris believed to be from the vessel. officials now fear the worst. matt bradley has the very latest. today in indonesia, the hunt for survivors turning hopeless. the navy chief saying the 402, the submarine missing since wednesday, has sunk. the navy recovered debris they believe is from the vessel, parts of ator pea dough straightener, a grease bottle, and prayer rugs. officials fear the worst saying the crew exhausted their oxygen hours ago. the u.s. joining the huge

we're going to be in the upper 50s. we are expecting to see the chance of some light rain and some drizzle, mainly through the north bay to start out. for the first half of our day today, but by late tonight into sunday morning, we're going to see a little bit more widespread rain, light-to-moderate at times, moving in late tonight, so i'll talk about that timing at 7:00 a.m. keira? >> we'll see you at 7:00. thanks so much. warriors players got to hear the roar of the crowd for the first time in more than a year last night. the crowd was small, but the excitement was huge. health and safety protocols were in place for the close to 2,000 ticket holders in attendance. masks were required. and everyone had to show they were fully vaccinated or prove negative covid test results within 24 hours of kickoff. people came with every intention of following the rules. we talked to two people who had proof they'd been vaccinated. >> we have had the shot, but with mine, it's sharpied in, so it looks a little bit different. >> the date on mine, i took it a month ago, and there's no way to

show.

welcome to iss. we are so excited to have you aboard. we are back on this saturday morning, april 24th, 2021. if you think it's hard to parallel park safely here on earth, check this out. spacex's dragon docking with the international space station just a few hours ago. it's actually the second successful dock for elon musk's company. four astronauts on board. pretty cool look from 240 miles above the earth. >> that's some parallel parking job there.

incredible. let's begin with a check of the headlines. the cdc has given the go ahead to bring back the johnson & johnson vaccine. an advisory panel voted friday to end the 10-day pause after a low number of blood clots after 7 million doses raised concerns. the cdc says the benefits of the single-dose vaccine far outweigh the risks. the shot will now come with an added warning. shots could be distributed again as early as this morning. a date has been set for the sentence of former minneapolis police officer, derek chauvin. he will be sentenced june 16th. he was convicted of second-and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for the death of george floyd. the justice department is weighing new charges against chauvin for a 2017 incident where he struck a black teenager and held him down with his knee for 17 minutes. videos of that incident were not allowed at trial. and now we want you to check

out some amazing footage. a catch by a young fan at the atlanta braves game last night. the ball fouled out to right, with calhoun chasing it down. calhoun can't help himself. he gives a fist bump for the play, which was technically legal. mom, on the other hand, she's a little embarrassed. and this bunny at the san francisco giants game, he is a therapy animal for his owner, who lost a restaurant during the pandemic and the fans were just loving it. you can see why. what a little cutie there. >> don't see that at a ball game very often. this morning, caitlyn jenner is stepping heurtaux into politics making a bid for governor in a potential recall election. the former olympian turned reality star launched her campaign as a republican on friday.

good morning. >> reporter: good morning, peter, kristen. it's going to be an uphill battle. she's entering the ring with a number of heavyweights. in a blue state where the governor remains relatively popular despite a likely recall. from the red carpets to the state capitol, famed olympic gold medalist caitlyn jenner is now entering a new race for governor of california. jenner spent the better part of the last decade in reality tv and revealed in an interview she is transgender. >> for all intense and purposes, i am a woman. >> reporter: she announced her republican bid stating the sacrifice is significant, but the responsibility is great. and i can't wait to lead. no stranger to the public eye, but still politics would be a new territory for her. >> what are caitlyn jenner's chances of actually becoming the governor of california? >> not that great, but it is possible. it's hard to see that she would

be the candidate because there are a number of republicans already running. >> reporter: while historic, she would not be the first to run for the golden state. ronald reagan left hollywood and arnold schwarzenegger did the same. >> look, i'm here focusing on our iconic infrastructure. >> reporter: his campaign calling the recall a ludicrous circus full of trump supporters. jenner saying he is so threatened by our campaign he is trying to fund raise off my announcement. she's been criticized for her initial support of donald trump, though later reversing her stance. >> president trump, from one republican to another, this is a disaster. >> reporter: in particular, getting pushback from the lbgtq community, equality california tweeting they'll take a hard

pass on jenner. yet jenner is passing forward or and preparing a formal announcement to follow in the coming weeks. once again, let's keep in mind california is a blue state. and experts think it's very unlikely the current govern orb would lose to any republican. but jenner has already launched the website and selling merchandise that includes wine glasses, t-shirts and even beer coozies, among other items. it kicked off right away. >> guad, thanks so much. let's head back out to new york and check in with dylan again. it's been a busy morning for you. >> there it has been. we are going to continue to watch the severe weather for today. after a couple of cold days this week, we will see a nice warmup in the northeast. boston, 73 degrees today. it is still chilly through the middle of the country, which is also the area where we will have a lot of rain today. temperatures running 5 to 10 degrees below average.

high of 50 in chicago on sunday. dodge city, 85. albany, 59. so tomorrow is going to be cloudy, gray in the northeast as temperatures cool off. look at next week. st. louis, 80s monday and tuesday. wednesday, 75. huntsville in the mid-80s by the middle of the week. even washington, d.c., down by you guys, 85 degrees on wednesday. so warmer air is coming. in fact, a cloudy and cool start, as we continue to track rain moving into the bay area, but right now, it's dry overall, temperatures in the 50s for san jose. around san francisco, 52 degrees. it will remain mostly cloudy with peeks of sunshine at times, and if you live in the north bay, you'll probably be the first to see the rain. a light drizzle, early on for the first half of the day. a chance for some drizzle around santa cruz and the peninsula, in through morning hill with plenty of rain moving in but tonight.

we can't easily see. microplastics. >> yeah, there is microplastics everywhere in tampa bay. >> reporter: the size of a pencil's eraser or smaller. >> there is some plastic right there. . >> you can look and don't see plastic, yet it is all around us. >> reporter: no surprise it litters the ocean. that fleece washes away with every load. a tire's wear and tear deposits rubber but tiny bits of plastics onto the road, that eventually drain into waterways. even your toothpaste contains them. researchers found tampa bay is littered with 4 billion particles. >> there's probably a particle per liter. >> reporter: one piece of microplastic per that bottle of soda that i have at home. >> for that container right there. >> reporter: is that a lot? >> yes, that is a lot. >> reporter: it is not until the samples are brought to shore and

luminesced. all of those are. >> microplastics we collected the. >> reporter: and i could not see it out there? >> no. >> reporter: they are often the last line of defense. >> what is all of this? >> this unfortunately is all the unflushable items people put down their toilets and drains. >> reporter: if you didn't catch it, it would be out in the gulf. >> they could be broken down into smaller pieces. that will become the microplastics. >> reporter: if the plastic is in the ocean, is it making its way into the fish? >> we know for sure that microplastics are being mistaken for food by the smallest organisms. and then the next level up in the food chain. and so it will end up on our dinner plate. >> is that plastic going to cause me a health problem?

said they will have conversations about when to bring it back momentarily. why was there a pause in the first place? dr. rochelle walensky said they did not know how many severe blood clots the agency has been looking at. it is 15 out of 7 million doses of the vaccine administered. as for who is affected, so far all women ages 18 to 59, three of whom have died, seven of whom are still hospitalized this morning. dr. walensky ta ugg about the most compelling reasons for bringing the vaccine back. >> we found out for every 1 million doses of this vaccine, the j&j vaccine could prevent over 650 hospitalizations and 12 deaths among women age 18 to 49. >> and at this point more than 35% of u.s. american adults have been fully vaccinated. 220 million plus doses

administered. guys, we are nowhere near close to herd immunity, which is why it is so important they are comfortable with all three critical vaccines. peter and kristen, back to you. . >> sam brock watching in miami. thank you. meanwhile, president biden is at home in wilmington this weekend as he prepares to mark his first 100 days in office with his first joint address. joint session of congress next week. nbc news kelly o'donnell joins us with more on all of this. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, kristen. the president and first lady will make the trip to delaware this weekend to spend the weekend. the clock ticks down to an important marker, the first 100 days of his administration. president biden hosted world leaders virtually for a climate summit where he pushed for investment in green energy and jobs and made a special point to acknowledge traditional adversaries like russia's president putin could find ways to cooperate over climate change. that two-day virtual summit

represents the covid restrictions of this era. that may be waning as the president will make his first international travel, a trip in june, visiting cornwall, england, for the g7 summit of the world's major economies. and then join the leaders of nato's alliance in brussels. and this week another step made possible by the vaccines, the president will make his first address to a slimmed down joint session of congress. only about 200 lawmakers are expected to attend in american for social distancing. kristen, peter. >> all right. kelly o'donnell at the white house. kelly, thank you. also this morning, jeffrey epstein associate ghislaine maxwell is pleading not guilty to charges against her. she faces two counts of federal sex trafficking. they were filed in march. she entered the plea in manhattan federal court on friday. her first in-person court appearance. her trial is set for july.

we can't be more grateful or excited. we wanted to share our story during national in fertility awareness week in hopes that will help others in their journey to become parents. i've been in this career i love so much and passionate about. >> thank you so much for joining us. >> but my great passion is really starting a family. after trying to have a baby for a few months after john and i got married, it wasn't working. we realized the best course of action probably would be ivf. the first round went really well. and i thought, i'm going to be pregnant within the next few months, no problem. i went in to start the process of being able to carry a baby, and the doctor determined that the lining of my uterus was too thin to carry a child. and i thought, okay, well, let's fix it. there has to be something that we can do to fix this. i tried for months.

and it was really just some of the most difficult months that i can remember because i was going into the doctor in between live shots at work. and it was, like, failing a test over and over and over again. >> through these tough times, there were a lot of tough times. but she would get on air and be nearly flawless every time. . >> hi, savannah. good morning to you. >> i realized that i was not going to be carrying my child when the fourth doctor who i had seen called me. four doctors agreed that i could not carry a child. and on that day, i just sat down at a bench outside of the white house and i just cried. >> for kristen, it was really hard to give up on the goal of carrying this baby. >> john and i considered surrogacy and adoption. surrogacy felt like the right first step for us.

what can i expect with being matched with a surrogate, so i would have a new family. >> our surrogate has been amazing. i can't -- i can't explain just how wonderful she's been. sorry. for her, this was about giving something to us that she felt a deep connection to. >> she was going to try to carry our baby. and that first try didn't work. we were devastated. but we wanted to become parents so badly. so we moved forward after years and years of trying, i'm having a baby girl with john. we are so excited. it is with the help of a surrogate. . >> she has fought for everything professionally she has achieved and now personally what she is going to get to enjoy.

and i think she's going to be better at that than anything else she's done. >> amazing! >> i want her to know just how much she was loved. from the moment we knew she was coming. >> i can't wait to meet her and tell her everything about how she got here and how excited we are to have her here and how long we fought to have her here. >> and that is the message, how loved she already is. thank you for your love and support. peter, you played a role in that space. you were support day in and day out when i was having tough days. >> you literally are like my sister right now. so selfishly i'm excited to be an uncle. you will be an awesome mom. and as a dad of daughters, i have so many hand me downs to give you. >> you're going to be the best uncle. dylan, i said this to you when i

saw you in new york yesterday, the fact that you spoke out about your fertility struggles trying to have your second baby gave me so much strength and encouragement. >> and i think it's the conversation that goes a long way. kristen, i remember you remember up here filling in and you asked to use my refrigerator for some of your medication. that was years ago. and i always thought, has it happened yet. when you called me a few months ago to tell me through surrogate it happened, i wanted to cry through the phone. i wanted to just reach and give you a hug because it happened and you found your way and you found your path. now we are talking about it. it's an amazing thing. . >> couldn't have done it without the support of loving colleagues like you, that is for sure. there is a much bigger conversation to be had around all of this. we want to bring in dr. talibian. she is not my doctor but an expert in the field. i cannot thank you enough for being here on this morning.

we really appreciate it. and i want you to just set the stage for folks, for couples going through this, one in eight families experience struggles with in fertility. so when do you know it's time to seek a doctor's help? >> thank you very much for having me. so really, you know, any -- women over the age of 35 who have been trying for more than six months without success should seek help. and women over 40 maybe even more immediately. women under 35 can give it up to a year. but there are still many, many scenarios you would seek help, for example, if you have irregular cycles, endometriosis, pelvic surgery. also members of the lgbtq community as well. >> doctor, surrogacy is becoming a more available option to more

families now. how do you decide to go that route? how do you decide that's the right route for you? >> right. so it's not usually something that we talk about at the initial visit. and, you know, as kristen's journey shows, it's usually a decision that's made over time, you know, as other forms of treatment are not successful. but it is becoming i think much more accessible and common. there's been some huge, you know, advances in the new york state law where it is now legal here in new york. and this just happened in february of this year. that is a big deal. it also allows the parents to be a part of the pregnancy. and then also, you know, legally the parents are on the birth certificate at birth. and so, you know, it really provides that bonding very early on. >> doctor, i have seen it with dylan and kristen, their efforts to have babies. there are a lot of mental

challenges with this. the mental toll is significant too. how critical is it that you be aware of it? >> yeah. you said it so beautifully yesterday, kristen, in your piece, about resilience, grit, and do not give up. i say this every day to my patients. i say, you cannot give up. in some way, shape or form you will be a parent if that's your goal. it takes a village. there are many paths to parenthood. physicians, nurses, the team, your mental health conscious lauer, friends, family, and sometimes strangers you might meet on social media, support group. my patients need you and they need to hear your stories. it gives them hope. and i really, really thank you for sharing your stories. many members of the "today" show team have done so, and it's really important. . >> dr. talebian, thank you for joining us and for underscoring that message, don't give up. over the next month, we will have a lot more on this, including the financial

struggles so many couples face and what resources there are to help them. kristen, you wrote such a beautiful heartfelt letter to your daughter on today.com. it's a must read. be sure to check it out. be sure to check it out. >>
