in cases like this, the settlements can be reached at the last moments "the washington post" is citing two sources familiar with the matter that say those talks are scheduled to take place today, but the judge has no officially given a reason for the delay. he said he was going to announce it first thing in court this morning. >> steph, let me ask you what is at stake in this potential trial and how might it all play out. >> reporter: yeah, kristen $1.6 billion is at stake dominion voting systems accuses fox news of spreading lies about its voting machines in the wake of the 2020 election they say they did so knowingly or at least recklessly you have fox on the other side saying this is a political crusade in search of a payout that they were only doing the job as a network and a news agency protected by the first amendment. we were expecting to see some of

fox's biggest stars including sean hannity and tucker carlson adds well as the heads of the corporation including rupert murdoch. all of this taking place in court, shining a spotlight not just on these two organizations, but also, on the 2020 election and journalism itself in this country, kristen >> you are absolutely right about that steph gosk, thanks so much the supreme court is taking up the issue of abortion rights. expected to decide the fate of the med mifepristone it has been at the center of decisions in the low court protests and rallies for and against were held all over the country. here to help us break it all down, nbc's senior legal correspondent laura jarrett. good to have you back as always. there has been so much back and forth. help us understand where things stand with the abortion pill. >> as of this moment access to mifepristone is just as it was two weeks ago. the status quo is maintained things could move quickly later

this week because we know the supreme court is now taking a hard look at this. as of right now, again, they have paused those lower court decisions, which essentially cast doubt about the availability of it all of that is on pause right now. but the justices want to hear from the plaintiffs that originally brought this case by noon tomorrow. and after that point, then the court could rule at any time. that's when we might see some critical action, after noon tomorrow >> and, laura, this is interesting because the justices have a couple of different paths that they could go down. tell us what they are and what the implications are. >> yeah. there's a couple different scenarios. the justices could essentially grab the case for themselves and decide they want to hear it and go through oral argument and hear from all the parties on both sides or they could decide to keep this pause essentially in play while the case goes back down to the fifth circuit court of appeals. in that case is status quo would be maintained. everyone would get access to this pill but you would see the same thing playing out, just in the lower courts

or the justices could deny what the justice department and the biden administration want here, which is you would see more restrictions on this pill, but the case would, again, still be down in the fifth circuit. so a lot of different scenarios. the key question is whether access to the pill is maintained while the case plays out that's what the justice department and the pill manufacturer want. >> all eyes on that case all eyes on another case, this one involving religious freedom, individual religious freedom and also the post office. talk to us about this one. >> this is an interesting one. so a devout christian, a former postal worker doesn't want to work on sundays. he's happy to work on every other day but sunday because of his religion he would like that day off limits his employer tried to make accommodations for that for a long time but at a certain point said, sorry, this isn't going to work anymore he quit and sued and used a civil rights law that said you can't discriminate on the basis of religion. however, for a long time, the court has said employers

essentially can do what they need to to make reasonable accommodations, especially if there is a hardship on the actual business, then you can't. right? you just can't you have to find someone to cover the shift. the fact that the case is coming before the supreme court is super interesting because it suggests the justices might want to take a second look at it. >> great to see you, laura. also this morning senate republican leader mitch mcconnell is returning to a full schedule on capitol hill today, following a six-week absence after a fall nbc senior capitol hill corresponden garrett haake joins us for more on all of this. garrett, good morning to you what is the latest on mcconnell's recovery >> reporter: good morning. look, his whole recovery process has been kept private. mcconnell fell at an event more than a month ago and almost no one outside of his closest aides laid eyes on him until we saw him coming back to the capitol on friday. a broken rib he suffered in that fall

concussion is a serious injury for anybody, but especially for a person in his 80s. mcconnell's team says he i expected to give his typical monday remarks on the floor every day. he usually takes questions from reporters on tuesday he is the longest serving party leader in senate history that q & a on tuesday will be among his most closely watched, kristen. back. >> senator mcconnell is coming back. meanwhile, john fetterman, dianne feinstein, they have been absent. what impact have the absences have on what the senate can do >> reporter: fetterman is expected back today. he after seeking treatment in the hospital for depression. that means most business will return to normal except for on the judiciary committee. feinstein, who is 89, recently hospitalized with shingles is still out. she's been out since february. with the republican house, closely divided senate confirming biden judges is one of the few things the senate can

actually do. with feinstein out, that gets harder the california senator offered to step away from the committee but a replacement would take consent from all senators. republicans not eager to help. feinstein is facing calls to resign, but her colleagues defended her so far. one fellow democrat, amy klobuchar pointed out her vote could be pivotal when it comes time to raise the debt ceiling this year. california would need two voting senators then. guys >> all right senior congressional correspondent, thank you to the nba playoffs now, folks and some big upsets yesterday, including game one between the phoenix suns and the l.a. clippers. >> goes right back kawhi leonard for three. oh back-to-back >> my son and i were watching that one leonard with 38 points as the clippers win that one. 115-110. game two tomorrow. in that series

>> reporter: this morning, a desperate search for three american sailers lost all the coast of mexico is underway. the mexican navy and u.s. coast guard scouring a 2,500 square mile search area at sea for husband and wife frank and kerri o'brian and their friend william gross. all are said to be experienced sailors. the o'brians are licensed coast guard captains. none have been seen in nearly two weeks. >> we're pleading for anyone out there to be on the lookout. we miss you so much and love you so much. we just want you to come home. >> reporter: the trio was on their way to san diego and last heard from on tuesday when they set sail for a mexican port city. they planned to stop for supplies in cabo san lucas two days later, but the coast guard says there is no record of them arriving, and their location is unknown. >> there is no confirmation they had filled the vessel's fuel tanks, nor confirmation they took on food and supplies.

>> reporter: the group was traveling on the sailing vessel "ocean bound" with minimal technology onboard. they may have encountered winds over 30 knots. and 20-foot waves. >> it is significant. it could have affected how fast they were able to travel on the coast. >> reporter: their disappearance coming after four americans kidnapped, likely by drug cartels in the border town. while the three missing sailors set sail from a do not travel zone, the coast guard says they are strictly focusing on the search and rescue operation. >> hopefully somebody sees them and gets them to make contact or relay some messages out there. >> reporter: this morning, the families of the lost sailors hopeful their experience at sea will help them make a safe return home. again, this is day 13, and the coast guard tells us they don't believe those sailors had enough food or fuel onboard after

missing a chance to refuel and stock up, which is why they and mexican navy officials are aggressively pursuing the search and rescue. of course time is of the essence. guys, back to you. >> certainly is an urgent search there. miguel, thank you for that. a big morning for spacex and the return to the moon. a critical test flight of the rocket that will do the job. when it happens. even perhaps take astronauts to mars. our guy that covers space, tom costello, is watching this very lowe'sly. good morning. >> we are on hold. they canceled the mission because of a valve in the stage one of the rocket. we'll wait while they figure that out. spacex wants to send this rocket called star ship around the earth and a 90-minute test flight to see if it could carry astronauts to the moon and even mars.

this is happening at the texas-mexico border. the faa has given the green light. elon musk says the mission won't be boring. using's vision for the future starts here. at his star base on the gulf of mexico near brownsville, texas. taller than the apollo, designed to carry more cargo and more humans. nasa already paid for the rocket to one day carry artemis astronauts to the lunar surface. perhaps as soon as 2025. the ultimate goal to boldly go where no one has gone before, carrying hundreds of astronauts one day to mars. even building a human colony. nasa chief bill nelson says it's happening fast. >> how quickly will there be human boots on mars? >> 2040.

>> so within 20 years we think we could have humans on mars? >> within 17 years. >> reporter: spacex has been testing starship. on four previous flights, the rocket crashed and exploded. but in 2021, it landed perfectly back on earth. this test flight is programmed to orbit the earth and fall into the ocean off hawaii. no astronauts onboard yet. >> we are trying to unleash the ingenuity and creativity of private industry with, obviously, nasa considerable oversight because we're putting nasa astronauts on those vehicles. >> reporter: elon musk told me in 2021 humanity must reach for mars and beyond if we are to survive. >> i think it's important that humanity become a multiplanet species. >> reporter: with nasa astronauts already training for missions to the moon, the

pressure is on spacex to prove starship is up to the job. this is interesting. starship isn't just for nasa. spacex is planning on a private crew to be the first to fly starship orbiting the earth, two private flights to the moon would follow. private, no nasa astronauts. fly around, joyride. nasa thinks we could be landing on the moon with astronauts in 2025 or '26 at the earliest. you know, i often hear this. it will take forever to get to mars. up to two years going and coming so nasa is working on nuclear rockets to speed up that process and reduce space radiation exposure. back to you. big day. >> tom costello for us, thank you. >> elon says it will be exciting. >> a great part of the country with people down there. >> spent sometime there. >> must be excited.

technically you can wait until 12:00 but i'll say 11:59 if you are doing it by mail, you have to have it postmarked by tomorrow, april 18th post offices usually close around 5:00 or 6:00. don't wait until the evening it is the same thing if you are trying to file an extension. if you are expecting a refund, you have three years to claim that refund. here's the deal. the irs is sitting on $1.5 billion on people's tax refunds from 2019. you have until july 17th of this year to file if you didn't for 2019. >> wow. >> there is a lot of money here. >> i'm asking for a friend here, but what if you can't make tomorrow's deadline? >> no judgment >> exactly, thank you. you have to file your extension by tomorrow. same deadlines and here is the thing. you also have to pay if you are expected to owe the government, you get this extension to fill out the paperwork, not pay what is due make sure you know about that. that is really important it is free to file for that

extension. go to irs.com/freefile you could be penalized if you don't pay. you can pay via credit card, debit card or a check bu it's got to be postmarked by tomorrow don't forget state taxes as well if you file for an extension with the federal government, that's one thing but you need to make sure you square it up with your state as well. >> i feel like there are new rules. new important rules. are there new ones this year >> there were so many natural disasters across our country and the irs understands that taxes may not be your priority if your home was swept away. parts of california and new york and some others as well, you may have until may 15th or even october 16th to file for your taxes. you want to go to irs.gov/disasterrelief that's how you will find out which deadline you follow. yes. if you file the extension, you get six months as well a couple other things, if your adjusted gross income is $73,000 or less, you can file for free start on the irs website, though

sometimes you go with the private companies that partner with the irs but you don't get the free file. start at irs.gov/freefile to do that finally, did you get married did you get divorced did you add a family member or maybe you started caring for an aging parent if there are life changes, you want to make sure that's reflected in your tax statement as well. >> great info. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. let us turn to mr. roker for a check on the weather. >> first of all, we have a big change coming in the climate we are looking at last december. we had this ongoing three-year-old la nina that has changed december, january, february, march, we have been seeing the pacific waters warming that means the la nina is over we will probably see by fall an 80% chance of an el nino what does that mean? increased wind in the tropics, less favorable conditions for tropical development that's good news

how this unfolded and declining to say if they identified or arrested any suspects. family members of one of the victims have identified him as a star on the high school football team who planned to head to jacksonville state in the fall to play football there overnight, many of his classmates and teammates gathered at a vigil, remembering him as having a smile that would light up a room. for now, investigators are urging anyone with any information about what happened to come forward immediately saying no tip is too small. craig? >> thank you. the pentagon says a u.s. helicopter raid overnight in northern syri resulted in the probable death of a senior isis leader. the target was not immediately identified but officials say h was responsible for planning terror attacks in europe and the middle east. two other armed militants were also killed in assault the pentagon says there were no u.s. casualties and no loss of american aircraft.

president joe biden returned this weekend from ireland wher he marked the 25th anniversary of an agreement that ended violence in northern ireland it was a major foreign policy success for the clinton administration joe scarborough spoke about how the accords came about. >> growing up in the '60s and the '70s, nobody could ever imagine peace would come to northern ireland. >> the people got out ahead of the politicians. they were sick and tired of people dying they were tired about worrying about their kids walking down the street at night. they were tired of exaggerating the differences that their religious heritage gave them, and they just wanted to go on living. >> it was a great moment for american diplomacy and leadership you know, the damage and the distrust and the division was so deep and to see what consistent diplomacy can actually produce

when people who have very different opposing ideas about what they want for their own future will take risks to compromise to get to peace and i think it is a great message and a continuing lesson to us all. >> for more of that interview and a conversation with president joe biden, tune in to "joe scarborough presents" coming up at 8:00 p.m. eastern on nbc next monday turning to your house. breaking news this morning that could revolutionize treatment for melanoma new research just shared at a major cancer conference found that a cancer vaccine made from mrna significantly improved how long patients lived without their cancer coming back here to help us break down this news and findings as well, a gastroenterologist and associate profession of medicine at nyu. this would seem to be somewhat substantial here, doctor

melanoma patients who got this personalized vaccine had a 44% lower risk of that cancer coming back? >> that's correct. it's very significant because melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer we know over one million americans are living with melanoma for stage three or stage four, depending on the sub stage the risk of recurrence could be over 50% anything that could reduce that risk is significant. and in this study, what they found was adding this mrna technology to the current standard therapy reduced the risk of recurrence and death by 44%. that's game changing. >> mrna, we heard a lot about that during the covid pandemic. >> that's right. >> do we know exactly how it works here >> yes it is interesting. the mrna, think of that as a blueprint for the manufacturing of proteins. in this case, the mrna vaccine is teaching the body how to attack significant proteins on the cancer cells what i love about this vaccine, it's personalized.

for each patient, their tumors are removed surgically, analyzed to see which it expresses and tailored vaccine is made for that individual. it does take a few weeks because everyone gets a slightly different vaccine. but this is the trend in medicine, personalized medicine. right now certain treatments work for some cancers, some people's tumors but not everybody. >> makes you wonder what it could mean for the future of cancer treatment >> it is being tested on others -- this technology is being tested on other types of cancers as well, things like prostate, breast, ovarian, colon even interesting technology here. >> thank you, dr. raj. >> great information well, it is hard to believe. but after 35 years, broadway's longest running musical, "the phantom of the opera" took its final bow last night composer andrew lloyd weber wa joined with past and present cast members to celebrate the historic run it ran for nearly 14,000
