deadly crash. >> it strikes me that it's going to be something to do with the train cars themselves and how they connected with the track or some fault or flaw in the crack. >> reporter: the company that maintains the railroad said this section of track was inspected two days before the accident and positive train control, or ptc, was installed, a safety measure that prevents collisions and derailments by automatically adjusting the train's speed and even braking. amtrak says it's deeply saddened by the fatal incident and is fully cooperating with investigators. meantime, those who survive, still shaken by the tragedy on the tracks. >> miguel, some of the answers as to why this happened may be in that black box or data recorder. have the investigators been able to find that yet? >> reporter: no word on that exactly yet, hoda, but we believe the train has that event

recorder and if it does, we should know exactly how fast the train wag traveling, if the brakes were applied before, during or after the derailment. that will be a critical piece of evidence here in the days forward. hoda, back to you. >> miguel almaguer in joplin, montana, thank you. this is shaping up to be one of the most consequential weeks yet for the president's agenda. congress is voting on major bills. they also need to pass legislation to avoid a portal government shutdown. a investigation over what to do about the debt ceiling. lots to cover here. nbc's capitol hill correspondent garrett haake is on it. >> reporter: good morning. democrats see it as a make or break week for the president's agenda with two huge votes expected and a possible government shutdown looming. president biden projecting confidence on sunday with the fate of his domestic agenda hanging in the balance. >> i'm optimistic about this week. week it's going to take the better part of the week, i think. >> reporter: congress planning votes this week on a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill,

democrats like west virginia's joe manchin haven't signed off yet. >> it's going to take more time. >> reporter: leading to a legislative standoff that democratic leaders must find some way to break. >> adding to all of this, you have this vote on the debt ceiling can which, of course, if it is not voted to be raised, the u.s. could default if the standoff isn't resolved. where does that all shake out? >> reporter: so the u.s. is set to hit its credit limit, called the debt ceiling, by the middle of next month. democrats hope to have that vote don't, but republicans say they'll block that move. the reality is more complicated. much of the debt is what we're talking about is money spent by republicans during the trump administration if we default, the government could be unable to pay everything from social security benefits to military paychecks if this vote fails tonight, there's still a bit of time to

figure one out >> garrett, lots happening on your beat this week. thank you. craig joins us with more on the gabby petito investigation >> good morning to you, as well. more than $30,000 in reward money has been raised for information leading to the capture of petito's fiance, brian laundry. meanwhile, the manhunt is about to stretch into its third week now. a large group of gabby's friends and family gathered in the community where she grew up to say good-bye kathy park is on new york's long island with details on all of it >> reporter: hey, craig, good morning to you it was a powerful display of solidarity approximately 12,000 people stopped by this funeral home, some even traveling from as far away as california to pay their respects to gabby. a massive outpouring of support for gabby petito

we're back with in-depth today. this morning, an issue that has a lot of parents talking >> facebook is hitting back at allegations detailed in a "wall street journal" report that it had internal research documents showing its popular instagram app may be harmful to the mental health of teen girls >> a top facebook executive is set to testify about all that on capitol hill this week, but this morning, we're talking with the head of instagram, adam mosseri to get his take. but first, a look at what the tech giant is saying about these allegations. this morning, facebook looking to set the record straight the tech giant posting what it calls a point by point rebuttal to a recent "wall street journal" report that said the company knew its instagram app was toxic for teenage girls, calling that idea and the suggestion that they're hiding research simply not accurate the journal art detailed leaked internal studies, including one 2019 slide that read we make body issues worse for one in three teen girls

facebook sharing the slide saying that statistic was based on girls who already experience body image issues, not all teen girls, adding on problems such as eating issues, loneliness, anxiety and sadness. teenage girls who said they experience these challenges were more likely to say that instagram made these issues better versus worse. the one exception was body image. overnight, "the wall street journal" saying it stands behind its reporting writing none of the company's defenses have cited a single factual error and in keeping with our standards, we gave facebook ample time to comment before the publication the social media company has come under intense scrutiny, lawmakers demanding answers, holding a senate hearing this week with one of facebook's top executives set to testify. the head of instagram adam

mosseri. he weighed in right after the article posted >> i'm proud of the fact that we're doing this work. >> mosseri has pressed pushed for change to make the platform safe for users, especially teens. telling savannah last year -- >> do you feel like instagram is a safer platform than, say, a facebook or twitter? >> i think it has a more positive charge. we want to be the place that supported -- that's not to say negative things don't happen on instagram. they absolutely do >> adam mosseri joins us on this monday morning good to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> would we even be having this conversation had it not been for the "wall street journal" article and the intense pressure you've been having over the last few weeks? >> i think it's impossible to say, but i think we have been working on this why had idea, the idea being a version of instagram is designed for tweens and it's had a lot of attention. so i think it's possible we would be speaking.

but today we want to talk about how we're going to put the work on pause i still firmly believe that it's a good thing to build a version of instagram that's designed to by safe for tweens, but we want to take the time to talk to parents and researchers and safety experts >> so instagram for kids is scrapped for the time being. is that because we now think it was a bad idea absolutely not i firmly believe it's a good idea i have to believe that a world where there's a version of instagram designed for tweens, one where there's no ads, where we're a parent can choose to let their child use it and control things like who they follow and who they message is better than the alternative. >> let's talk about the kids for a second according to your own research, roughly a third of teenage girls are affected by body image >> if anybody leaves using instagram feeling worse about themselves, that's an important issue we need to take seriously.

we have a number of ideas in the world of body image and negative social comparison. last week we announced that we were working on nudges, the idea if year going deep in one topic, we might nudge you to try another topic. another project that we call take a break the idea being if you can put your instagram on pause for a moment of time, maybe you're going through a break-up or you just switched high schools >> i know the details have been worked out, but this take a break idea, st. louis how will that work? will we see that in our feeds? >> the way it would work, your instagram, your account, your profile how you show up would essentially be on pause. so the specific details we're working through, but the idea is that you wouldn't have to were about people talking about you, addressing you, commenting on your consent while you were on a break.

you would be able to leave and come back where you left off >> so let's talk about the other ideas, parental controls over the next few months. you guys rule out parental control cans >> absolutely. so we've been work on parental controls for a long time it's clear 13 isn't a magic age. parents of kids of all ages are looking for more ways to service and supervise their kids and control their kids online. the idea is we're going to bring these parental controls as an optional feature to everybody. these features and even a version for social media are things that our competitors like youtube and tiktok have done and launched >> so we're still working through the details, but they can manage how much time their kids spend on the app. and see what they're doing and possibly approve things who they can message and who they can follow >> and this is something rolled out over the next few months >> yes

we've been working on it for a long time, but we're a few months away from working on it >> we've been working for a lot of this for years now. we do this is he search to shed light on the problem that's why i'm proud that we do that kind of work. for instance, we announced a couple of years ago we wanted to lead on the issue of online bullying the research we did when we asked kids and teens why they didn't block people who are harassing them is they were worried about fear of retribution because they have to see these kids in school and they needed to track what was being said about them. so that inspired the restrict feature which we launched a few years ago. so over the years, we were doing this research internally and externally and using it to inspire change in the product. >> one of the problems, you mentioned 13, of course that, is the age you're supposed to be

able to get an instagram account. you and i both know there ar kids on instagram who are under the age of 13. i'm not going to put my cousins on blast, but i know some kids who are under the age of 13 and have instagram accounts. how do you fix that? >> that is a very difficult challenge. that is difficult. we rely on things like reports and parental forms, but it's not a perfect process which is why we think a healthier place to end up is to have a version of instagram that was designed for tweens that parents have the option to give their kids access to as opposed to letting kids sneak in and go rogue and eventually their parents or we find them. there's a risk verification we want to mitigate >> so age verifications, features are coming? >> yes it is a very difficult challenge. >> okay. adam mosseri, thank you. thank you for your time. >> thank you let's get over to mr. roker for a check off your forecast. unseasonably warm in the mid section of the country

miguel, good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. at this very hour, ntsb investigators are work mind me. they've brought in heavy machinery to sit the train upright and sort through pieces of evidence. three people are dead. more than 40 have been injured. as you know, this train was traveling from chicago to seattle when it derailed on saturday with about 160 people aboard and 16 crew members. the immediate call for help came out just behind me here in a pretty rural area of montana. neighboring counties had to send people in from multiple different jurisdictions including helicopter teams. there's five people remaining hospitalized, all in stable condition. some we're told are in the icu. investigators don't know what went wrong here. the train set tracks behind me, it was a relatively straight stretch and the weather was clear and beautiful on saturday. so weather does not appear to be

a factor. investigators are trying to find that event recorder to figure out exactly how fast the train was going and if the brakes were applied before or after the derailment. savannah, back to you. >> miguel almaguer, thank you. moving now to an nbc exclusive for our one nation overdose series, the new head of the drug enforcement administration using her first interview to announce a rare public safety alert. nbc's senior national correspondent kate snow spoke with her. >> good morning, guys. the dea has not issued a public safety alert since 2015 about they warned about fentanyl being mixed into powdered heroine. now the huge concern is about illegal synthetic pills. they're marketed as prescription drugs, sold online or through social media but are often fake, often containing powerful deadly fentanyl. a campaign is being launched this morning, one pill can kill, she also says social media companies could be doing far more to stop it.

on the job less than three months, dea administrator anne milgram is shocked that just this year they've already confess indicated 9.5 million pills. >> the percentage of those pills that are deadly, potentially deadly has never been higher. >> four out of ten counterfeit pills that contain fentanyl are deadly. >> four out of ten? >> yes >> yes they have two milligrams of fentanyl or more >> it's like russian roulette, then >> it's russian roulette, but it's even more dangerous in one sense. in russian roulette, people know they're passing around a loaded gun. here, you are talking about many people who think they are actually buying percocet or oxycodone or a pain killer and they're not. they're being fentanyl or the methamphetamine. the fentanyl pills can kill

people >> administrator milgram showed me how fake pills look just like the prescription drugs >> the cartels are making these pills look exactly like the real thing. >> without question. >> reporter: if a dealer i advertising, how can you not just go get that person and stop them from selling? >> we do that every day. this is a half a trillion dollar business >> is part of the problem, though, that there's so much coming in? >> we regularly seize and intradict vast chemicals of quantities coming from china to mexico and then they're being massed produced in mexico. these are criminal organizations that purchase anything they can to make money. no regard for american lives >> interpreter: mean, in a single split second, she was gone >> julie hoffman's son, wyatt,

died >> i just said, i'm never going to see him again, am i he just looked at me and he just went -- >> the drug dealer is not sitting down the street from you. it is sitting on the phone with your child. anyone can have access >> should they be doing more to help help you >> there is no question in my mind that social media companies are not going enough to stop this >> they need to understand that americans are dying at record rates. and they need to be a partner in stopping it. >> why do you think they need to do more? >> was tuesday happening every single day and we also know that all these companies track every single piece of data related to who is on, what they're doing, who is connecting privately, what is happening. >> do you think they're erring too much on the side of user privacy? >> they talk a lot about user privacy. i would say that we are in a national crisis.

this is an emergency >> i asked administrator milgram whether the dea has th technical expertise it needs to combat all of this she said they could always use more she's big on data and analytic and she says, guys, the data is "not where i want it to be." >> wow that young man took one pill you think about that, one pill >> and they're issuing this alert, which is rare for them to do >> and it's called one pill can kill and you can see it at dea.gov. >> kate, thank you also more to get to on this monday including a young u.s. team handing europe it's biggest loss ever at the ryder cup the finishing blow came as this shot on the 17th hole by collin morikawa, the youngest member of the u.s. squad picture perfect. he would follow that shot up, final score, 19-9. europe dominated ryder cup competitions the u.s. team got to claim the

inside their incredible relationship in the hopes of helping all of us. the collier twins have always done everythin >> at nighttime, she will say what are you wearing to bed tonight? that pink nightgown with the same flowers they had a double wedding, raised their families in identical houses and know what each other is thinking >> we've always finished -- >> each other's sentences. >> but there is one thing they didn't plan to share -- cancer >> when they look at you and say it's cancer, you're kind of shell shocked. >> after noticing some bloating and numbness, lisa was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. >> i just -- there's no way i can live without her >> because they're identical, teresa got checked out her test shows no cancer, but they did find out that are both

brca positive, genetically putting them at higher risk for ovarian and breast cancer. >> teresa planned to have her ovaries removed. >> we went to the doctor and it was more of same >> she, too, had stage three ovarian cancer, just like her sister >> what went through your mind when you got the diagnosis >> i don't have to do it alone because i had her. >> and so, like everything else, they are now fighting cancer together, both completing chemo and doing well on maintenance therapy. two of their three daughters have tested positive for brca and are opting for risk reducing surgery to remove breasts and ovaries. now the twins share something else, a message for other women about what can be one of the

deadliest cancers. >> we want women to be in tune with their bodies and be advocates for themselves >> this is the cancer. >> their doctor laying out some signs to look for >> don't just keep thinking i keep getting a urinary tract infection. maybe that's not what it is. people think i have a yeast infection again or a uti again >> something they are now facing together >> and we've said from the time we were small, we came into this world together and we're leaving together >> but they're not ready for that yet they have too much to do >> together, the fight is on >> now, i don't know if you guys noticed, but it's not just the twins. while the daughters don't wear the exact same outfit, they always wear the same color this family is so close. now knowing about the genetics they share, that brca positive

status, that could be game changing in protecting futur generations. >> let's bring in dr. natalie azar dr. azar, good morning >> i'm glad you're expanding this conversation. when i read the symptom of ovarian cancer, they're so common, i can understand why you may not see that that is happening to you >> absolutely. and that makes diagnosing ovarian cancer so challenging and why it's often diagnosed at a later stage. when i look at this list of symptoms, it can really keep you up at night. listen, feeling bloated, eating and feeling full very quickly, so having difficulty eating. pain in the pelvic area, in the antibiotic, pain in the back, it can even affect urination. you may feel constipated, lots of different symptoms, abnormal vaginal bleeding, especially after menopause. >> one of the things the twins did is they got checked for the brca gene. i bet you people are wondering

tested for >> here is the thing with the brca gene. we all have a brca gene but it's mutations in the brca gene that confers the risk there's brca one and brca two. in terms of who should get tested, if you know you have a parent who is brca positive, you have about a 50% chance of being brca positive yourself so i think it's important to remind folks that just if you have the mutation it does not automatically mean you're going to get cancer. the majority of breast and ovarian cancers are from inheritable risks. >> what are some other risks >> typically, we talk about age. it's more commonly seen post menopausally colorectal cancer, a personal history of breast cancer can increase your risk

never having given birth or giving birth later after the age of 35, hormone replacement therapy. >> quickly, what are -- these guys are fighters, but what are the treatments, the treatment options? >> treatment for ovarian cancer is usually some combination of surgery, chemotherapy, they also use targeted therapies, immunotherapy, very much will be decided based on the woman's stage at presentation when determining the treatment course >> dr. azar, thank you how about another check off that weather >> we're going to take a quick look we have sam, a category 1 storms moving northwest at 8. it's a slow mover. we're not talk about it threatening bermuda until maybe sometime on saturday and it's still active out in the tropics, as well besides sam, we have another area of interest coming off the
