>> and the fall-out just ahead. all that plus new twists. the utah mother and children's book author charged in the fatal poisoning of her husband now in -- accused of witness tampering. what was discovered inside her jail cell. and epic clash. >> looks, throws, touchdown. >> miami defeats rival new england in a game that went down to the wire. >> pushing to the 29! >> the wild finish today, monday, september 18th, 2023. from nbc news, this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> hi, everybody. good morning. welcome to "today." it is monday morning. we're glad you are starting our

week with us. >> pats are 0-2. they're starting it off that way. >> and that one went down to the wire. good night for sunday night football. we've got breaking news this morning. five americans detained in iran, being released as part of a high stakes prisoner swap. >> it involves the return of five iranians detained in the united states and unfreezes $6 billion of iranian money. >> josh letterman is standing by at doha international airport. what's the latest? >> reporter: hey, savannah. good morning. a qatari plane flying those released prisoners is on a two-hour flight to doha after leaving iran. a senior diplomat briefed on the exchange tells me on board are two relatives of the americans. after a brief stop in doha, they will begin the journey home. a year's long nightmare appears

to be becoming to an end, expected to be freed. the americans expected to spend just a few hours on the ground in qatar before being flown to the u.s. and starting the long road to rovery. -- recovery. for the families, the release couldn't come quickly enough. >> all of our families have been destroyed. >> the prisoned were both arrested in 2018. iran accused all three of espionage and locked them up. the two other americans have not been identified. the delicate deal took years to negotiate. two diplomats tell nbc news the iranians and americans never came face to face. in exchange, the biden administration releasing five iranian prisoners and unfreezing $6 billion under u.s. sanctioning in south korea. republicans blasting president biden for what they call a ransom payment, arguing iran will use the money against the attacks against the u.s. and its allies.

>> they will use the money against the u.s. in the interest of iran. >> reporter: the biden administration insists iran can only use the $6 billion on humanitarian goods like food and medicine, with the u.s. treasury department approving each transaction. >> i'm happy to take any criticism. for that, i view it as job one, to do everything i can to bring americans home. >> reporter: after the americans arrive here in doha, they're expected to make a brief medical checks. the good news is all of them are set to be in good health. they're not expected to stay long before boarding the flight to the united states. their families at home eager to welcome them and put this dark chapter behind them. >> all right. josh letterman on the ground there. thank you. >> let's bring in keir simmons. good morning. when we heard $6 billion, i thought maybe we had heard it wrong. that's a lot of money. where is that money coming from? >> people will be stunned by

that number. that number's been in career as a result of oil sales. iran hasn't been able to get a hold of it. now it will be able to, but in a limited way. we're being told it will be held by qatar and controlled by the u.s. and only used for humanitarian purposes. iran's president told nbc just a week ago that the money was unjustly frozen and that iran will decide how the money is spent. that will be one of the controversies over this because, remember, the background to all of this is president trump when he was president pulling out of the iran nuclear deal, freezing iranian money, putting sanctions on iran. an election year, so this will be perhaps not the biggest election issue, but an issue. >> so the iran nuclear deal fell apart. this is a concern about iran highly enriching uranium. obviously we've seen iran's actions on behalf of russia in

ukraine. this is the background now to this deal. how does it fit together? >> that's right. by the way, this is a big move in a big week. are we going to hear from them from the un general assembly? you're right, josh talked about slow negotiations taking place. there has been a sense of a slow-burning fuse with iran with the enrichment of iranian with iran selling drones allegedly to russia. one argument could be anything you could do to destabilize that relationship between russia and iran, that's a good thing. another painful aspect of the timing, too, of course. we just passed the anniversary of the death of the woman who was killed in iran that the terrible, terrible ruthlessly put down protests after that. people will say that timing wasn't right. and the critics will be saying if you hand over prisoners, you simply encourage a country to take more prisoners. >> we're watching this unfolding as we speak this morning.

thank you, keir. also the united workers strike is entering its fourth day. the two sides failing to agree to new contracts over the weekend, and the consequences are starting grow. jesse, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. negotiations are back up and running, but still no deals. however, there were positive signs over the weekend. despite the fact that as you can see, there are still people picketing outside this ford plant, it appears the uaw and this company are making progress. the united auto workers strike against the big three rolls into day four, this morning signs of hope. the uaw writing on saturday, we had reasonably productive conversations with ford. >> doesn't that seem like a long way to come in a positive direction? >> yeah, it does. they also tell us that it's not an great yet.

it could be as reasonable as possible, but is there an agreement for us to continue to provide for our families. >> reporter: the company writing ford remains committed to reaching an agreement that rewards our employees and protects ford's ability to invest in the future. general motors also restarted negotiations with the union. while more bargaining with stellantis is expected today. the union and jeep maker bickered over the weekend. >> we're just a number to them. they don't care. >> reporter: the stalemate impacting more than those on strike. ford says it laid off roughly 600 non-striking workers because of the walk-out. >> the companies have made some significant offers, but i believe they should go further to ensure that record contract means new contracts. >> reporter: biden says top aides are coming to detroit. but the white house is not part of negotiations. the uaw is still pushing for a 40% wage increase, among other demands. the big three all say they made four offers. the union has countered, but is

keeping quiet on details. tens of thousands of livelihoods hanging in the balance. what is it like to try to support a family of four on what you are making right now? >> you can't. you have to have dual incomes in the house. everybody has to be pitching in. >> reporter: uaw says what comes next depends on the big three. >> if they don't come to the table and get things resolved, then we'll keep amping that up. >> reporter: that could mean targeting more plants, possibly expanding the strike. something else we're keeping an eye on. the teamsters say they will be sharing an important update tonight on the uaw strike. but already that other major union saying, quote, teamsters don't cross picket lines. >> thank you. let's move to the intense manhunt for suspects in the fatal shooting of a los angeles county sheriffs deputy. authorities describing it as an ambush attack.

>> good morning. we've learned a person of about has been detained in the shooting death, their own surveillance video captured a vehicle of interest pulling aside his patrol car before speeding away. now they're looking for a suspect and a motive. this morning, grief and outrage over the tragic loss of 30-year-old l.a. county sheriffs deputy ryan clinkunbroomer. did the deputy have words? >> our deputy never even had a chance. >> reporter: authorities say he was ambushed and killed saturday evening while stopped at a red light in his patrol car near the palmdale sheriff's station. authorities hoping they will be able to use the surveillance video captured by their own cameras to catch his killer. it shows a car pulling alongside his patrol vehicle before speeding away. law enforcement officials

pleading for information on a dark toyota corolla they are calling a vehicle of interest. >> check your cameras. that could be the missing link to the information we need. >> reporter: investigators sharing they believe this was a targeted act. >> for no apparent reason, somebody decided to shoot and murder him. i'm assuming at this point because he was in uniform. >> this was an execution. we will find who did this. you can run, but you can't hide. >> reporter: within hours of his death, a massive show of support. fellow law enforcement officers escorting his flag-draped coffin in an overnight procession that temporarily shut down local highways. what was he known for around the office? >> just an extraordinary young man of integrity, would do anything for anybody. >> reporter: the 30-year-old had just gotten engaged to be married last week. his mother posting on instagram, we are so excited to add to our family.

meanwhile, former president trump is facing scrutiny this morning for comments he made during that interview on "meet the press. nbc new senior white house corresponden gabe gutierrez is following both stories for us at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: it is a busy week for the president. tomorrow he's scheduled to address the united nations general assembly in new york on thursday, he's expected to meet with ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy here at the white house. all this as he brushes off this impeachment inquiry. president biden this weekend dismissing congressional republicans who are investigating his family's business dealings. >> what is your response to republicans open an impeachment inquiry into you >> lots of luck. >> reporter: the president instead focussing on this week's united nation's general assembly in new york, a packed agenda escalating tensions with china and russia's war with ukraine. laurened -- launched early last

year >> russia violated the core tenets of the united nations charter. >> the u.s. is warning china against helping russia as growing tensions are likely to be a flash point for the u.s. presidential race. >> would you send the u.s. military into taiwan if president xi were to invade? president biden says he would -- >> i won't say i won't say. >> reporter: in an exclusive press" moderator kristin welker, president trump may have complicated his legal defense. he now says it is his decision to spread the false claim that the election was rigged to overturn the results legal experts say that could undercut any defense strategy blaming his lawyers. >> reporter: you called some of your outside lawyers, you said they had crazy theories. why were you listening t them were you listening to them because they were telling you what you wanted to hear? >> i saw what happened i watched that election, and i thought the election was over at 10:00 in the evening. >> you were listening to your

instincts. >> my instincts are a big part of it. that's been a big part that's gotten me to where i am. i listen to people. >> reporter: were you calling the shots, though, mr. president, ultimately? >> as to whether or not i believe it was rigged, sure. it was my decision i listened to some - some people said that. >> reporter: "meet the press" also extended an interview request to president biden meanwhile, at the un this week, the president is scheduled to meet with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. let's go to the nfl now. the patriots taking on the dolphins sunday night football. >> booster takes off and goes the distance with a touchdown! >> there he goes raheem mostert, 43 yarder. a touchdown there. the dolphins go on to win it 24-17. they move to 2-0 this season and if you are counting, it is the patriots' first 0-2 start in 22 years
