the house all but paralyzed after three more failed votes wednesday. >> a speak has not been elected. >> reporter: the new gop-controlled congress can't vote on bills, form committees, or even swear in members until they elect a speaker. and that may not happen for days after late-night closed door talks failed to break the impasse. but a new deal may be on the horizon. overnight, mccarthy offering the rebel group a series of concessions in a bid to win them over, including a rule that would allow just one member to call for a vote to remove the speaker at any time. >> i think we are making progress. i think people are confident. >> reporter: it comes after 20 republicans oppose mccarthy on wednesday. me demanding concessions like committee slots or rules changes. others refusing to vote for the californian under any circumstances. >> i'm ready to vote all night, all week, all month and never for that person. >> reporter: his allies growing frustrated with the hardliners in their party. >> it is actually becoming

detriment toll our nation. >> reporter: even former president trump who urged republicans to quote vote for kevin closed the deal, couldn't sway mccarthy's opponents. >> the president needs to tell kevin mccarthy that, sir, you do not have the votes and it's time to withdraw. >> reporter: president biden weighing in on the sight on capitol hill. >> i just think it's an embarrassment. the rest of the world is looking. they're looking at, can we get our act together? >> reporter: and overnight the last person to hold the speaker's job, offering this advice to mccarthy. >> just get it done. >> reporter: among the other concessions that mccarthy offering the 20 votes against him, are seats on the powerful rules committee which controls all of the legislation that actually comes to the floor, and an agreement to stay out of these kind of uncontested republican on republican primaries in future years of savannah, the house comes back in at noon today. we'll see if it's enough. to move any votes. savannah? >> all right, garrett. thank you. that brings us to national political correspondent steve kornacki at the bill board with

a closer look at what the numbers mean. day three the latest episode of the real lawmakers of capitol hill. there was a vote yesterday to adjourn, okay? this sounds kind of wonky. >> yes. >> why does this vote matter? what did it signal about where mccarthy is and whether he is starting to see a crack in the resistance to him? >> here's the problem. right now before they have a speaker, the only thing the house can do, is a, vote on a speaker, having round after round, or b, adjourn. so all day yesterday, mccarthy knew he didn't have the votes and wanted to adjourn, but the republicans who wouldn't vote for him for speaker also wouldn't vote to adjourn. so finally, late last night, about 8:30, the republicans put a motion to adjourn on the floor. that's what you're seeing right here. you can see 216 republicans voted for it. the democrats are in no mood to help the republicans on anything here. they all voted against it. 210. four republicans voted against it. four of the anti-mccarthy republicans. so it ends up passing by the slimmest possible margins. and does that indicate that

negotiations taking place yesterday, mccarthy made some of those concessions garrett is talking about, does it mean that some of that renegade faction takes that as a sign they can get some progress? or do they just want to get out of there? >> it is the highest number of pro-mccarthy position which was just adjourned to stop for the night got to 216, maybe it is a sign of progress for him. let's go to the last ballot, the sixth ballot. essentially it has been the same thing over and over again. how many votes does mccarthy have to pick up of the 19, 20 defectors to win the speakership? >> there isn't an exact number because there are technical things but basically it comes down to this. we showed you on the last vote, even with the four republicans who voted against mccarthy, four basically is the number he can afford. if all 212 democrats continue to vote for hakeem jeffries which they have been doing on ballot after ballot, and mccarthy with 201 and the other republican nominated byron donalds and somebody voted present, a republican voted present, 21

republicans who did not vote for mccarthy. he basically needs to pick up 17 of them to vote for him if 4 vote against him. >> this is difficult. this isn't just like, you know, twist the arm of one lawmaker. he's really got to make a big concession here. and it sounds like one of them he is prepared to make it just that. some of these holdout republican lawmakers want to be abl vote to remove the speaker with just one lawmaker asking for it. isn't that like having this day over and over and over again potentially? >> it could potentially be, this rule, they call it the motion to vacate. it was changed a couple of years ago because in 2015 it was used against john boehner who was the house speaker then. it helped to precipitate boehner's downfall as speaker in 2015. so when the democrats got the house, when pelosi took charge a few years ago, she changed it. she said that half of one party has to vote.

that's more than 100 members. has to vote for it first, before you can bring it to the floor. mccarthy said, you know, five he was willing to go down to and the renegade faction said not even that. we want a single person at any time to be able to say i want a vote on whether mccarthy should continue as speaker. >> with that concession, lauren boebert or whoever could wake up tomorrow and say let's have a speaker election again. >> could happen any time. >> steve, good times. appreciate it. hoda? >> thank you, savannah. turning to an extraordinary scene at the vatican overnight. tens of thousand us of mourners and dignitaries gathering in saint peter's square for the funeral of pope benedict xvi. the service officiated by his successor, pope francis, marking a first in the church's modern history. nbc's molly hunter is there for us. good morning, molly. >> reporter: hoda, good morning to you. it was extraordinary to be here. it was somber. it had many similarities to previous papal funerals but it was understated. really slimmed down. much simpler. which is exactly what pope emeritus benedict xvi wanted.

♪ >> reporter: the dome of saint peter's basilica shrouded in a heavy mist this morning as thousands gathered to witness pope emeritus benedict xvi embark on the final journey. the pallbearers, the archdiocese, benedict's personal secretary, his closest confidante for decades, leaning down to kiss the coffin. thousands of priests, bishops and cardinals including all seven american cardinals and some 50,000 faithful filling saint peter's square. 86-year-old pope francis arriving in a wheelchair with mobility issues, delivering the homily, for the first time in more than 600 years a current pope is presiding over a predecessor's funeral mass. cardinal ray, the dean of the college of the cardinals, acting as principle celebrant. a traditional catholic mass but a simpler one, as were benedict's wishes. >> pope emeritus benedict was

deeply respected throughout the whole world, where many people simply did not buy the caricature of him that had been promoted for so many year, frankly by his critics and enemies. >> reporter: the whole event pared done compared to the last papal funeral of pope john paul ii back in 2005. >> world leaders were here. it was a big event for the entire world. this was a event for the hometown if you will. >> reporter: in the last three days, some 200,000 people waited their turn to say a final goodbye. many more than expected. and today, a new precedent, a blueprint for the 2013 benedict opened the door for francis or future popes to retire from the job for life. and today, as the sun finally poked through from the heavens, a blessing from pope francis on his feet. we saw what a funeral mass for pope emeritus, a simpler but majestic sendoff, could look

like. now, hoda, we now know, we have just gotten word from the vatican, that he now has been buried inside benedict's cypress coffin, coins minted during his pontificate and a summary of his time in office was put in a metal tube inside the coffin as well. that cypress coffin put in a zinc coffin and then in a wooden coffin and then interred in a vatican crypt, the same one as his mentor and of course long-time confidante pope john paul ii, right underneath saint peter's basilica. hoda? >> molly hunter there for us in vatican city, thank you. there is encouraging news on buffalo bills safety damar hamlin. the team and the family saying the 24-year-old's condition, while still critical, is continuing to improve. in the meantime, coaches and players across the nfl are preparing to the return to the field for this weekend's games. nbc's maggie vespa has the latest for us. maggie, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. heading into this la weekend of the regular season, obviously hamlin's cardiac arrest and ho for his recovery looms

another monster storm prompting a state of emergency. massive power outages and evacuations. known as a bomb cyclone, it is the latest in a string of back-to-back systems hammering the region with torrential rain, flooding, as well. we will get to dylan's forecast in a moment. first though, miguel almaguer joins us from outside san francisco. miguel, good morning. >> reporter: craig, good morning. we're in a break from the rain but more is in the forecast. the wind is the story. powerful wind event, we believe gusts upwards of 50 miles an hour is one of the reasons why this gas station awning came down. across the west coast about 200,000 people lost power with all the downed power lines and more wet weather on the way. the worst could still be to come. slamming into california and hammering the bay area overnight, this morning the powerful brunt of another dangerous storm has already triggered a statewide state of emergency. poised to deliver more daring

water rescues, catastrophic flooding, and widespread damage, than the storm earlier this week, today 33 million are under flood watches. >> we need the rain, but we don't need it all at once. >> reporter: overnight in san francisco, a family rescued after a tree fell on their car and trapped them inside. firefighters using chain saws to break it apart. as the west braces for up to eight inches of rain, four feet of snow, and nearly 100 mile-an-hour winds in the mountains, authorities warn roads may wash away. landslides are expected, and drivers will be stranded. >> it's maybe one of the most challenging and impactful series of storms to touch down in california in the last five years. >> reporter: with emergency operation teams expecting catastrophic conditions, a bomb cyclone, connected to a strong atmospheric river will wallop the west.

over the next seven days, three separate atmospheric rivers could drop up to 20 inches of rain. the dumping deluge that caused this epic holiday storm has now fueled nearly 20 reported tornadoes in states like arkansas, alabama, and louisiana. with the south still swamped, roads and cars vanished in georgia. now, it's california in the bull's eye all over again. another monster storm promising misery and mayhem. tragically this storm did turn deadly overnight. in a small northern california city police say a big tree fell on a family's trailer killing a young boy inside. we expect more stoin the coming days and expect more heavy ran in the area. craig? >> getting hammered. miguel, thank you. >> to dylan now, and that is the story out west. >> if you can believe it, we are expecting three more storms over

the next seven days out west so what is going on? there's a lot of things to explain here first of all, that bomb cyclone, it's really a technical term that when a storm, the pressure of the storm drops 24 millibars in 24 hours, that actually happened twice with this most recent storm so it is kind of a double bomb cyclone. very, very perful storm. this is called the pineapple express. you have the moisture extending from the hawaii area, extending 4,000 miles over the pacific ocean and then dumps all of that moisture it just kind of picks it up as it moves across the ocean and dumps it all into, unfortunately, california. so this is the setup and until that setup changes, we're going to have to deal with more and more of these storms. we do have the heavier rain now stretching down into southern california, and then as we continue through the day, we're going to see more wet weather, especially north of the bay area so that is an area that was hit hard yesterday and we could see another sevel inches of rain in that spot rainfall rates of one to two inches per hour. rainfall totals up to three to five inches.

the ground is totally saturated so flooding is likely to happen and the threat of mud slides going to happen as well, because the ground can't hold on to any more moisture. we're ooki at one to three feet of snow in the ski resorts and up into the mountains. that's a look at the weather across thehe country we'll get to your local forecast in the next 30 seconds . that perersonal. the state farm personal price plan helps you create an affordable price just for you. she also plays piano. with my feet! like a a good neigighbor, state farm is there.® with my feet! call or click to get a quote today. good morning. i am meteorologist, kari hall. we have seen the intensity of some of the rain starting to pick up in parts of the south bay and east bay.

but what an account it is. in a week that is sure to stun the royal palace and is already worl prince harry reportedly says in his new book that his brother and future king, prince william, physically attacked him back in 2019 during a confrontation over his wife meghan that's according to the british newspaper "the guardian" which says it has seen an advanced copy of harry's highly anticipated new memoir "spare." nbc news has not yet obtained book according to "the guardian," harry describes the altercation which he says took place at the couple's former home nottingham cottage in kensington palace. harry writes that willia wanted to talk about the whole rolling catastrophe of their relationship and strums with the press. he describes william as piping hot with anger and calling his wife meghan difficult, rude, and abrasive harry says he accused his brother of acting like an heir who was not able to understand why his younger brother was not

content to be a spare. then, according to "the guardian," harays his brother called me another name, then came at me. it all happened so fast, so very fast he grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. adding, i landed in the dog's bowl which cracked uer my back the pieces cutting into me i laid there for a moment dazed and got to my feet and told him to get out the leaked excerpt goes on to say prince william left and came back later looking regretful and apologized according to "the guardian," harry says that his brother walked out again, he turned and called back, you don't need to tell meg about this. you mean that you attacked me? i didn't attack you. and this morning, a new clip previewing an interview with prince harry that will be broadcast on britain's itv. >> what did your brother say to you, harry, how could you do this to me >> he will probably say all sorts of different things. >> reporter: despite it all, prince harry says he may be open

to attending the king's coronation later this year. >> if you're invited to the coronation, will you come? >> there is a lot that can happen between now and then but the door is always open. the ball is in their court. >> reporter: harry appearing to say he wants reconciliation. >> at the end it never needed to be this way. i would like to get my father back i would like to have my brother back >> but this morning, it's even harder to see how that is now possible >> do you still believe in the monarchy? >> yes. >> do you believe you'll play a part in its future >> i don't know. >> reporter: and this morning, craig, n news has reached t to penguin random house, the publishers of the book as well as representatives of prince william and prince harry for comment. so far, no comment >> they really are spilling it all. what about king charles? any mention of king charles getting involved at all with his boys >> reporter: there is. craig, i think it really goes to the heart, one of the big issues here, because for king charles,

let's be honest about it, this is a nightmare and what prince harry describes in this book, according to "the guardian," is a conversation that happened with king charles, william, and harry where charles stood between his warring sons. he says, harry says charles was looking up at our flushed faces, and then told them, please, boys, don't make my final years a misery well, he now has years of being monarch here in the uk, and he has two sons battling it out across the atlantic. craig? >> international correspondent keir simmons, thank you. >> one-sided battle, with the palace response. let's turn to dylan with another check of the weather >> we have that warmup that we got to enjoy yesterday it is now going away, that cold front is clearing the area, so we are seeing a little bit of light snow up across northern new england. still fairly mild relatively speaking but we're going to settle in to some cooler temperatures, more seasonable

it has left the new congress without a speaker of the house nbc's senior capitol hill correspondent garrett haake joins us now with the latest what are the details >> reporter: hey, hoda good morning they were talking late last night, but no deal yet, and still no speaker, as negotiations continue to break this republican stalemate as lawmakers in both parties get more and more frustrated to be stuck in this political purgatory. so where are we after two days and six votes, republican leader kevin mccarthy is still short of the votes he needs to become speaker. he has been losing 20 republicans. he can only afford to lose four. last night he made some major concessions to those 20, including rules changes that would make it easier to oust a speaker later and seat some of the most powerful committees in congress, the rules committee which controls what legislation if any ultimately comes to the floor. today, we will learn if those changes were enough to sway any of those 20 holdouts, although some have indicated they intend to keep voting against mccarthy until he drops out of this race. bottom line, though, hoda, is this republican-controlled congress can do no other work,

they can't form committees or even swear in members, until they solve this speakership dilemma. and they start today at noon and we'll see how far they get today. >> we'll see what happens. garrett haake for us at capitol hill, thank you. first lady dr. jill biden has been scheduled to have surgery next week to remove a small lesion above her right eye, found during a routine skin cancer screening doctors recommended to remove it in an abundance of caution the procedure will be done at walter reed national military medical center at bethesda, maryland nbc's medical contributor dr. natalie azar is here to explain more and the warning signs to look out for so this mole surgery so i've actually had a few times myself. >> okay. >> it is usually for something that is skin cancer but here they said dr. biden, she didn't say she had skin cancer of any sort this is more preventive. >> no, right they looked at it and they obviously thought it looked suspicious enough to do it you've had the surgery before. this is really an ideal procedure. it is very different than, you know, doing a large excision of

a tumor and then waiting days to find out what's going on rather, this is a very precise outpatient procedure where they basically, they remove the top layer and then each time they remove a layer, they look at it under a microscope to make sure that they have clear margins in the deep layer and also to the side so that preserves as much healthy tissue as possible, which is why it is so ideal for places like the feet, the hands, the feet, the genital area. >> how do doctors know if it is something that needs to be removed? what are they looking for? what should all of us be looking for? >> i was just looking and it is time for me, which by the way, savannah, a good reminder for all of us, too dermatologists, they have their little tools and they look and they will look at something and say this looks suspicious or it doesn't and we need to biopsy and we are talking, especially for the procedure, the most common cancers it is done for are basil or squamous cell cancers and we're going to put a list up for the viewers what these could look like and i want to say as a forewarning, many of these things that i'm describing could very well be benign, so don't be alarmed by them but you should be aware and if you see

something and anything that is new or different, flat, firm, pale or yellow, a reddish itchy area, an open sore, a new small bump or a growth, and then remember the abcdes of melanoma, any irregular mole, anything that is new or changes, definitely bring it to your doctor's attention the cure rate is excellent for basil and squamous cells >> thank you we got our reminder, doctor, thank you. 8:06 it feels like a good time for a boost. >> here we go! youngsters of all kinds love the snow, especially the ones who don't have to get all bundled up to go outside. like a bear. a little bear walking across a burban sidewalk, totally normal and suddenly does a little dance under the fallen flakes like a human child you can almost hear him saying hey, it's snowing, it's snowing. we got another animal video, a dog sledding video, the cute little guy, he's excited, scoots up the hill, got the tube behind it and hops on it. and that was really good he ended up on it. you never know

damage to her vocal chords but this superstar pulled herself up by her boot straps and re-learned how to sing ♪ ♪ life's about joy ♪ ♪ life's about pain ♪ >> and these days, her voice has never been clear. shania's 2017 project, titled "now" debuted at number one on the billboard album charts and just recently, the cover for her single "waking up dreaming" sparked an uplifting conversation about body positivity and embracing the skin you're in ♪ >> she's got a brand new single out, called "giddy up. her next album, "queen of me is" on its way soon, dropping february 3rd and you know it has already got us saying -- ♪ let's go girls ♪ >> welcome in shania twain wow. i mean, first of all, i'm so happy to be sitting with you i adore you. and i love the title of this,

"queen of me." it sounds like that is the perfect title in the perfect moment like what does that title mean to you >> it means taking responsibility, ownership, of yourself you know, loving who you are i'm my own royalty i'm the boss of me and i'm responsible for the decisions i make, for what i say, for what i do and it's a statement of self confidence that i've grown into more over the last few years >> is that crazy to think that we're still finding self confidence at this stage in our lives? >> absolutely. and it's so essential, more than ever, because as we age, and you know, our skin starts to melt, and all kind of things happen to us, you know, i've realized that wow, i was shy about wearing a bikini at the beach when i was younger and i'm thinking that's ridiculous i got to stop this nonsense. and start wearing a bikini to the beach now.

even though i'm not my 20-year-old self, you know, i just got to get over that stuff. >> what i love is in one of these videos, the video "waking up dreaming," you didn't just wear a bikini. you just decided at this moment, how old are you, 50 -- >> 57. >> 57. i'm 58 so you're 57 years old you decided you were going to go full monty so this photo shoot, the album, and i hope to explore this much further down the line, when we will release it, i'm sure you and i will talk about it more, but i did a whole shoot as part of the album artwork where i'm completely nude. and it was really scary, but it was sort of like, you know, i don't really love my body. i don't love looking at myself in the mirror with the lights on, or looking in the mirror at all at my body so i said i'm going to face that fear. i'm going to go into that photo shoot.

i'm going to put fashion aside. so fashion, we use to flatter our shapes, to maybe hide the things we don't like, to make us look more like what we wish we really did look like without clothes. putting fashion aside, this is me >> and how did that feel in that moment >> it is so empowering >> really? >> i am so glad i did it i was petrified. but once i flipped that switch and dove into, i'm all in. i committed 100% and i wasn't thinking about what anybody thought. i didn't think about who was in the room this is about me this is my moment, to really embrace myself in a vulnerable moment it had to be vulnerable, where i felt that i was facing a fear of being judged or being maybe even laughed at, being embarrassed. but it was only empowering it was really fabulous

>> well, you have, you lived a life i've watched your documentary, and i was so struck by so many things in it because when i see where you are today, and where you began your journey, you talked about growing up in a violent home, in a home where there was not often there was not food or electricity, the very basics. you lose your parents when you're in your 20s, and you became the mother. you're raising up children at 22 how did those life lessons shape you? how did they change you or develop you into the person you are today, do you think? >> it's sort of a double-edged sword because there's elements of that, of going through all those difficulties that make you stronger and what you survive makes you stronger and you also develop insecurities, if i don't take care of myself nobody will i can't really rely on anyone else >> can't rely on anybody, right. >> and you feel more alone in the world. there is an anxiousness that comes with that.

a vulnerability. i'm the type of person that i write myself into the future constantly as a songwriter, always writing about the future, i'm imagining the future, and so i sort of write myself out of the past i very rarely ever reflect on my past and you know, just trying to keep it, to put it behind me so this is a whole thing also about doing the nude photography. it is really about saying, listen, i was abused when i was a kid, you know, mi father would fondle me on the top, and make me go without a shirt, and i was already maturing, and this cringy horrible wanting to escape being in my own skin. i just, i'm just in this moment where no, no, no i'm happy in my own skin, it is the only skin i have, so i don't have a choice, otherwise i'm going to hate myself for the rest of my life.

so it time to start loving myself in my own skin and not being embarrassed or shy of particular and this is who i am. >> at any point in your life, you can say to yourself, i'm not defined by that little girl or the horrible thing that happened to me. i'm me >> and i'm not even defined by what i wear. >> no. not at all by the way, this album is so great, and i know we talked about some heavy topics, but there is so much fun on the album. there is a song we have been playing in the studio for the last hour and it is called "giddy up," a get up and dance song let's play a clip of it and let's crank it up full ♪ >> come on ♪ giddy up >> it puts you in the best mood. it is a dance song it's happy a great video i love your pink hair. i love everything about you. >> i am having so much fun these days, hoda. >> you're not going anywhere because we're going to mention
