ending. >> reporter: according to first responders all five passengers remain this morning in the hospital. three are being treated at a local burn center. the ntsb says it is aware of the situation and will be releasing information soon. savannah? >> thank you very much. meanwhile, a state of emergency remains in effect in new york's long island where rare and dangerous wild fires fueled by high winds roared to life over the weekend. investigators looking into whether arson could be to blame. sam brock has that story for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. whatever sparked the flames, officials estimating somewhere in the neighborhood of six to seven hundred acres burned, including the charred land i'm standing on right now and the business that was impacted. you see over my shoulder. now, all four blazes were contained over the weekend, but there is still a burn ban in

effect as the threat remains. this morning, residents on long island are still shaken from the smoke and flames that dominated the skies over the weekend. before dozens of fire crews were able to get the upper hand. >> my god! my whole place! >> reporter: mark shared this footage. >> i was alone in the building, so i was just trying to get as much equipment and vehicles out of the way of the path of the flames, if i could. >> reporter: whipping winds up to 35 miles an hour and extremely dry conditions across the region helping to fuel four separate blazes, as well as another brush fire in brooklyn, but that scene only minor compared to the massive plumes of smoke in the skies above hamptons. all of all of the active flames are 100% knocked down, but conditions still pose a threat.

at least 80 fire departments joined the front line battle with help from national guard helicopters dousing the flames from above. two first responders were hospitalized and two industrial buildings destroyed, including this business. >> the fire got out of hand. in amenmoments it was on our property here and just exploded. >> reporter: now an investigation underway into what ignited the flames. >> we will interview every 911 caller. we have done an extensive video canvas. we will do everything we can do to try to figure out whether a crime was committed. >> reporter: four separate fires doesn't necessarily equate to four separate causes. it is possible. the wind could have carried the flames. they're expecting an update within the next few days. >> sam brock there in long island. sam, thank you. we are following major stories from washington this morning, including the growing impact of u.s. tariffs on your bottom line.

president trump not ruling out a possible recession, but vowing americans will be better off in the long run. we have complete coverage starting with nbc's christine romans this morning. >> reporter: good morning. it is a new week with a lot more tariffs expected and more retaliation against u.s. products and new concerns about how damaging an escalation in this trade war could be for american consumers and businesses. overnight, president trump doubling down on his escalating trade war. >> i think the tariffs are going to be the greatest thing we have ever done. >> reporter: while not ruling out an upcoming recession in an interview that aired sunday morning. >> are you expecting a recession this year? >> i hate to predict things like that. there is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big. it takes a little time. it takes a little time. >> reporter: while his commerce secretary also spoke out yesterday morning. >> should americans brace for a

recession? >> absolutely not. there is going to be no recession in america. >> reporter: last night the president asked again if he was worried about a recession. >> we asked you and you kind of hesitated. >> i'll tell you what. of course i hesitated. all i know is this. we will take in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs, and we will become so rich, you will not know where to spend all that money. >> reporter: and the trade war heating up this week. china retaliating with taxes on some american agricultural goods coming into effect today. and the u.s. will put its tariffs on all foreign steel and aluminum wednesday and is considering more taxes on canadian goods. canada imposed taxes on bill of dollars of american products. this weekend, its upcoming new prime minister, former head of the bank of canada, speaking out against trump in his victory speech. >> and donald trump, as we know, has put, as the prime minister

just said, unjustified tariffs on what we build, on what we sell, on how we make a living. the americans, they should make no mistake, in trade as in hockey, canada will win. >> right. the white house insists this first wave of tariffs s in response to the flow of fentanyl from mexico, china and canada. the president promising another round in april against more trading partners. that is for fairness, he says. that will be the next phase, so buckle up. >> thank you. we turn to the push to end russia's war in ukraine. top officials set to meet with their ukrainian counter parts this week. the first face-to-face since that oval office showdown. keir simmons joins us from saudi arabia. this is where that meeting is going to happen. keir, good morning. >> reporter: craig, good morning to you. it's set for days of intense

diplomacy, as well as the u.s. officials you mentioned, president volodymyr zelenskyy is on his way here trying to repair the damage from that disastrous oval office meeting, knowing if the talks fail, president trump will likely increase the pressure. this morning a message from moscow -- wave after wave of air strikes killing 24 in one day this weekend, as the secretary of state heads to saudi arabia for walks with kyiv. president trump pressuring ukraine to agree to a cease-fire. >> a lot of people died this week, as you know, in ukraine. not only ukrainians but russians, so i think everybody wants to see it get done. we will see a lot of progress this week. rope trump wants more than a minerals deal. he wants a a change president volodymyr zelenskyy's attitude toward peace. ukraine, desperate to persuade the trump administration to resume crucial intelligence sharing. the president asked about mments by poland's leader that

ukraine wouldn't survive without the intelligence sharing had this response. >> they may not survive any where. >> reporter: the president's top ally, elon musk, writing on x that if he turned off his starlink service, ukraine's frontline would collapse. zelenskyy posting his own message -- ukraine has been seeking peace from the first second of this war. president zelenskyy will meet with saudi arabia's crown prince today hoping for mediation, but on the front lines, russia battling to regain part of its region. its troops using abandoned gas pilines to attack. nbc news getting close to the russian front line last week. the russian military didn't appreciate being filmed, but believe me, there are a lot of troops here. this weekend russia releasing video of drone strikes on ukrainian tanks as president trump pushes for peace talks. this is the language of the

battlefield. ukraine's battle could take months, raising the question whether the russians really are ready for a cease-fire. meanwhile, ukraine indicating it wants u.s. support with cease-fire rare verification. it turns out ending this war really isn't easy. craig? >> thank you. meanwhile, the u.s. government once again days away from a potential shutdown. current funding runs out friday unless congress passes a new spending bill. over the weekend, republicans unveiled their stopgap plan. garrett haake joins us with the latest. so walk hrough this. what is in this plan? republicans controlling both houses of congress. so how will this play out? >> reporter: savannah, the plan is for the house to vote early this week on that bill to keep the government open by funding it close to the current levels through september. the bill released on saturday raises defense spending slightly.

it cuts other spending slightly and has no margin for error on the house. house democrats weren't consulted at all on how this bill was constructed. they don't like it and are likely to oppose it. that means if two republicans vote no, the bill fails. there is already one thomas masse who says he is a committed no vote. president trump supports this plan, but last night he said he's not sure it will pass. >> could happen. the democrcrats wanthat. they want to destroy the country. so i can't tell you. but it could happen. it shouldn't have happened. and it probably won't, but if the cr is going to get passed, we'll see. it could happen. you never know. >> reporter: all of that puts a lot of and all of that puts a lot of pressure on republican congressional leaders to get this done. only then can they move on to that much bigger plan that

actually funds the president's priorities. when things move to the senate it gets interesting. the bill means seven democratic votes to get through the senate. typically senate democrats aren't the type to try to shut down the government over what's essentially a noncontroversial funding bill. they don't want to risk furloughing federal workers who are already struggling. they don't want to rick angering military families or disrupting the parts of the economy that depend heavily on the government like air travel. democrats do want assurances of some kind that the president will actually follow any law that they pass. this won't be a situation where he and elon musk are deciding not too spend money on things they don't like or keep making cuts to the federal work force that democrats think are inappropriate and in some cases illegal. all of that to be said, don't be surprised to see senate democrats and president trump in some kind of negotiation here at the white house by the end of this week.

stomach, which means he had not eaton recently. but he had no evidence of dehydration. >> reporter: the couple were a private pair. hackman drawn to the quiet private life, something he revealed in 2008. it happened to be filming at his favorite diner. >> nobody pays me attention. >> until we come dragging our cameras. >> reporter: but as hackman aged and battled alzheimer's, he relied increasingly on his wife's care until she died. >> what are the questions that investigators are exploring? >> reporter: yeah. investigators say they have most of the major answers, but they are still considering this an open investigation. their dog that died in a crate is currently undergoing an autopsy that will determine her cause of death. though, it is possible she did starve. authorities are also trying to access all of the cell phone data to determine if there was any further communication to

morning. on "in depth today," a look inside facebook. >> a high ranking official wrote a new memoir set to be released tomorrow. in that memoir, she makes some claims about the company. >> stephanie gosk sat down with her one-on-one. this is so interesting. >> she started at facebook in 2011. mark zuckerberg was just 27 years old. and facebook was exploding into a social media giant changing the course of history. that's why she said she wanted to be a part of it. in that new book, she says facebook was not what it appeared in public, neither was the top brass. now with meta only growing more powerful, she tells me she felt compelled to sound an alarm. mark zuckerberg stood in a line of billionaire tech giants at president trump's inauguration, a far cry from the dorm room where facebook was conceived. meta growing even more influential in the era of artificial intelligence.

>> people deserve to know what this big, powerful company is really like. >> reporter: in the book "careless people," former facebook employee sara williams relies on documents, e-mails and her own experience to chronicle the six years she worked at the company. the former diplomat helping facebook navigate global relations with world leaders. when did the ideal for you start to crack? >> it was one of those things that was sort of drip, drip. it was hearing reports that there were teens who were committing suicide after being bullied on the platform, people telling us that facebook was triggering riots. >> reporter: meta says the book is filled with false accusations and it is taking legal action to try to stop its publication. you describe something called lethal carelessness in the book. what does that mean? >> to me, that's about knowing

that you're causing harm and damage and in some instances bleeding to death and not doing anything about it. >> reporter: and did you see that? >> i saw it. >> reporter: in 2014, zuckerberg told savannah he was focused on growing the platform. >> i spent a lot of late nights pacing around my living room, you know, with teammates, just trying to plot out what our next move can be in order to keep pushing forward on this mission. >> reporter: that same year, williams grew concerned with facebook's strategy to break into the chinese market and what it was prepared to do for the government. >> they wanted a version of facebook that could censor. >> reporter: to do that, did facebook have to compromise some of its policy? >> to me, it seemed like facebook compromised every policy it had. >> reporter: a deal was never finalized. in a statement, meta says we do not operate our services in china today.

a genre lover but also vendor. so it is wildly entertaining. >> it is really interesting because i tried to set it up a little bit, but you and your husband, played by michael fastbender. >> i know. hello. >> he's searching for a mole and you are one of the suspects. it is a lot about marriage and trust wrapped up as a spy thriller. >> when you are an espionage agent, when you can lie about everything, then what does the truth mean? they would literally kill for each other, but she is a suspect, along with others. >> you have pierce brosnan. he's the og. >> he totally holds that of the >> he totally holds the dna of spy stuff and i had a couple of scenes with him. >> the black bag refers to something that's secret. >> i think every marriage needs a black bag. >> i'm so glad you said this because that's exactly where i was going. that's like, we don't talk about it or -- >> it comes from the tradition

of spies putting their secret documents into a black bag. once that black bag is locked, no one can know what's in it. in order for their marriage to function when they go on separate operations, when they ask one another details, they say, sorry, black bag. >> if i say to my husband, did you take the trash out, he could say, "sorry, black bag." >> or why did you come home at 3:00 a.m. last night? "black bag". >> a challenge. >> yeah. >> i know you're on the stage now, and i'm giving you most valuable cast award because you had a show saturday night in london. you are here today. >> that's how committed i am to this movie and people seeing it in cinemas. >> and you have another show on wednesday. >> and tom burke, who plays freddie in the film is also on stage with me. >> he's running around doing press as well. >> yeah, yeah. >> what is it like to be back on the stage? because i read that you kind of for a long time felt like i'm a stage actress. that's who i am and who i will be.

>> yeah, i worked with my husband, which a lot of people found horrifying. we ran a theater company for a couple years. and an amazing director is directing it. i think it is my home. but a lot of the actors who are in "black bag" also work on stage. there is a lot of long scenes in "black bag," dinner table scenes that were quite theatrical, almost like a play. to work with actors who had stage experience was great. >> what is it about the stage? that intimacy. >> you hope they go to the cinema. you don't know whether they've seen it. you don't know how they feel about the film. >> how do you know as an actress whether or not the audience is with you. but you do feel it. >> well, you can see if they fall asleep in the morning, checking in.

>> yeah. >> but in the sea gull that tom and i are in at the moment, there is not audience participation, but there is a direct address to the audience. >> yes. >> this is the thing an audience doesn't really understand. they complete the evening. so depending on how they respond, the show goes slightly a different way. i love how fluidid that isn stage. >> that's exciting. >> one thing i read, you have a 10-year-old little girl and she wants a miniature highland calf. how is that going? >> what little girl doesn't? >> you do live in the countryside. >> we do. >> so can she have it, mom, please? >> yeah. i'm a vegetarian, but i love cows. my husband used to call them high heeled philosophers because of the way they walk. apparently, there are miniature ones. we went to scotland, they're maximal -- >> oh. >> they're only available in the states. and i just said, sweetheart, we're not getting a cow from america. >> not good. maybe a puppy. >> or a turtle. >> or a chicken.

>> we have chickens. >> okay, we settled that. thank you so much. what a pleasure. the movie is called "black bag." from our sister company focus features. it hits theaters on friday. carson, over to you. >> is there a limit for how many times you can use the black bag excuse? how about a resolution reset? if you need to get back on track with health goals, simple things that you can do today, literally today, to make a difference. we have the expert to help us all out. but, first, this is "today" on nbc.

this will give you an idea of where to start. >> yeah, really where are you and are you tracking to meet those goals? if not, seek a health professional. >> let's talk about protein. everybody talks about protein, but not all proteins are created equal. >> really, the focus here is we know protein is important for muscle building, keeping us full and helping us maintain our weight. when we look at muscle mass, actually animal protein has a slight advantage over plant, which is fine. if you are going to go the animal route, make sure you have low fat options. if you are going to go the plant-based route, make sure you are having a couple more servings per day because it is not as easily absorbed as animal protein. >> let's talk about fiber. >> yeah. so fiber really important, helps with our gut, helps with digestion. less than 10% of americans get

one of the most important things you can do is actually document what we're doing. and actually, the act of documenting is the most -- it gives us the most benefit. i want people to shoot for about three times per day, tracking your steps, tracking what you are eating, even your exercise. again, you are your best cheerleader. i will end with this. go for progress and not perfecection. >> yeah. no one likes to track, you know, too much because you are held accountable. >> exactly. >> when you look back at it. good stuff. thank you very much. for more on that, too, you have his seven-day resolution reset challenge is right now at the start today app. just scan our qr code for all those details. >> i like that, a resolution reset. coming up next, we will look forward to talking to regina hall here. she has a wild new role. i saw it yesterday. she's also bringing back one of our st beloved characters.mo

bending, too. >> yeah, right. >> it's sci-fi. it's dystopian. >> it is. >> it's a musical. >> it is. and the director wrote all the music as well because he was a musician. >> you play a bad guy. this is the first time i have seen you play a role like this. what was that like for you? >> i have to say it was kind of fun. the hair and makeup process was long because there is a lot of prosthetics. but i will say it was fun to be that dark. >> again, it is a musical. but we don't hear you sing. why is that? >> they said, regina, we don't want you to show up sadie. that's a quote. >> is that really what happened? >> no, it was ied. you know what i mean? maybe it wasn't a quote. maybe i just telepathically received it. i know she doesn't sing. there was originally a song in there, but it was like a spoken word song for neon deon.

>> can you sing in real life? >> i don't know because i think i can. >> okay. >> but then, when i'm alone i can. i know that sounds strange, but when i'm alone, i do sound good. >> how would you know if you are alone? >> i would say, if there is one person there. if my assistant is there, she's like, that sounded really good. but if i think about it, it's like dancing. >> everyone thinks they can. >> once you are doing it, you can't. when i'm alone, i can do it. >> would you like to give us a few notes here. >> well, then, i would be showing up everything. what else would matter? i just think in an act of selflessness and sacrifice -- >> thank you. let's talk about the look you have in this movie because your character, in addition to being dark, no eye brows. it is a very specific look. recently, i saw you posted on

instagram. this is not the first time you made some questionable eye brow choices. what's going on in this phase of your life? >> that was the look. and i have thick eye brows naturally. that right there, i was so happy when i got them that thin. they're terribly shaped. but i had it and then i had the weave and that was a tree weave. like that was -- that was like -- back then that was something, i'm telling you. >> and if somebody had seen you on the street and said, that's a look? they would have had to fight you? >> they don't want this smoke. >> i heard that "girls' trip 2." will packer confirmed there's a script. >> did he? >> yeah. >> did he say that? did he say when i can read it? >> no. i'm excited. i know they said they will have a few -- it was so much fun to make that movie with the girls,

too. they said they will have a new script. hopefully it will happen this year. >> we were just talking before we came on. i didn't know this about you, but true crime is like a thing for you. >> i'm really excited to be sitting with you because i'm watching you all the time. >> you watch a lot of "dateline." >> yes. >> that surprises me because you seem so light. how did you discover true crime? >> you know, i know like people feel like it's dark. i don't know that -- obviously, it's dark, right? but it is a part of the human element. you know, there is a quote, and i can't remember. but i remember i was reading maya angelo. and she said, if someone does it, it means it is human, right? which means i am capable. but we are all capable because it is a human act. so i just find it more fascinating. >> okay. >> and i -- i -- i do love it. >> and you're producing a true crime series? >> well, i will be.

i love it so much. i did a nonscripted deal with mgm, and that is a part of a slate that will be coming out. and i did narrate something called the grim sleeper, which you know. >> so we will be competitors now. >> we will be competitors. >> i don't like it. >> no, we won't be because i watch you every day. >> thank you. thank you for waking up with us and thank you for going to sleep with us at night. thank you.
