and we are following the developing news on this 70th anniversary of d-day. events in the kun tcountry are under way, and meanwhile this morning at the normandy american cemetery and memorial overlooking open ole ha beach, world war ii veterans joined president obama as he paid tribute to the nearly 10,000 americans who fought and died on that very same ground 70 years ago today. >> it was here on these shores that the tide was turned in that common struggle for freedom. >> these men waged war so that we might know peace, aped they sa -- and they is a sacrificed in hopes of a day that we no longer need to fight, and we are grateful to them. >> and after the speech, the american president and french president francois hollande laid a wreath at the memorial over the booms of surrounding the crosses there. the ceremony was punctuated by
8:02 am
an f-15 flyover. and mean while, here, there is ceremony in washington, d.c., and here in new york, a helicopter will drop 1,000 rose petal petals over the statue of liberty and we will have a live d-day commemoration along with the president obama's feast to feast with vladimir putin today. it is the first time the two have been seeing each other since putin annexed cry mere ya. >> and a -- crimea. >> and classes are cancelled after a man tried to shoot people on campus, and if it weren't for the student who tackled the shooter, it would have been worse, but members of the campus gathered together to pray at a vigil.
8:03 am
miguel alma gear guere is here. >> reporter: they are calling the man a hero as he tackled the gunman while he reloaded the weapon. they say that it could have been so much worse, say police. >> reporter: it took minutes for paramedics and police to arrive. >> swat en route. >> reporter: and shots fire and multiple victims down and armed man moving through the campus at seattle pacific university. >> locking down the campus now. >> reporter: and the gunman identified adds 26-year-old a aaron ibarra entered aaron hall packed with students studying for finals a after ibarra opened fire. >> i thought i was going the die. >> and the weapon involved is a shotgun. >> and armed with a shotgun and knife, the police say that the shooter injured four students, and two critically. >> this is bad and i need to do basically whatever i can for the person. >> and chris howard cared for the injured while the gunman was
8:04 am
reloading. police say that ibarra is preparing for more bloodshed when he was taken down by 22-year-old john meese. >> a student monitor who works inside of the facility observed the suspect reloading the shotgun. he pepper sprayed that person and then got them to the ground. >> i looked down from my office and i saw one of my students sitting on top of somebody in a big pile of shell casings. >> reporter: police say that ibarra is not a student, and they don't have a motive. a small christian college, and today, the 4,300 students at seattle pacific are grieving and praying together. a deadly shooting, a senseless crime and an act of heroism that may have saved many lives. one student remains in critical condition, and the other is in satisfactory condition, and the 26-year-old gunman will face charges later on in the day, and
8:05 am
the police say that the shooting was caught on surveillance tape. the tape may show the suspect being taken down by that hero student. craig? >> all right. miguel almaguer for us in seattle. more news now. according to a new statement in the hospital in landstuhl where army sergeant bergdahl is at, we are hearing that his health is improving daily. and we are earning will how it is precisely how bergdahl was captured. two men who were taliban members say that bergdahl was walking alone and acting erratically, and talking badly about his fellow americans, and they thought that it was maybe a trap. but meanwhile, a military report says that bergdahl had a history of walking away from the assignassign assigned areas, and including
8:06 am
from an outpost in afghanistan before returning. and we we are also learning what the top five taliban leaders exchanged for him have been doing since arriving in qatar. and we are joined by ayman m mohyeldin. >> well, craig, we know they are in the capital, but we don't know where they are being held in qatar. and maybe doha. but we are not known too much about them, but they were held in captivity and according to some other sources, they are not in good shape mentally or physically, and in fact, many of them endured years of torture in the prison, but what we do
8:07 am
understand from sources close to the taliban is that the five are in different areas and staying with different members of the taliban political office, and not all in the same compound which is slightly different when they first arrived on the first day where they are together, but now they are at different facilities to the second point of the question, they are being closely monitored. we spoke to qatar officials, and they have said that they want it clear that they don't want these individuals have a high profile or speaking to the media, and they are not in shape to do that, but more importantly the qatar government is aware of the whereabouts, and they will be monitor i monitoring the activities around the clock so long as they are in qatar for the rest of the year. >> have the family mbs joined them? >> yes, the taliban members have confirmed to us that some of the family members of the five have arrived and are reunited with
8:08 am
the members released from guantanamo. so, yes, some of them are here. but there are others that are expected to be arriving in the days and the weeks to come. >> i'm very curious, ayman, what are they saying about how this has played out? >> well, the taliban officials are portraying it, make no mistake, as a victory for the taliban, and they managed to bring america to the negotiating table and acquiesce in releasing the five senior commanders, and that is how they are spinning it, and describing it back home, and everybody from the leadership downwards is describing it nothing short of a victory to get five leaders in exchange for a low-level american soldier. but the rest of the media here in qatar is portraying as important breakthrough between
8:09 am
the taliban and america and a start thing point for further talks of the more complex issues in a afghanistan that has to do with the national reconciliation, and not focussed on the prisoner swap as victory or defeat, but more of a starting point for the broader negotiations and then to broader the reconciliation between america and the taliban to try to end the war in afghanistan in a peaceful way. >> and thank you so much for us there on the ground in the capital of qatar, doha. thank you. i want to bring in bobby gosch, editor for "time" magazine, and this week, the cover story on bergdahl asked the provocative question right there and the question is simply -- was he worth it? " ""and also alex bolton, a congressional reporter for the "hill" newspaper, and bobby, let me start with you and the magazine. apparently, you have new details about bergdahl's release and the time in captivity and start us off with that. >> well, we have had communication with one of the
8:10 am
taliban commanders at aaron baker, our middle east bureau chief has been in communication with for many years, and he gave us a picture into what the taliban think of tho, and what the relationship was with bergdahl, and some of what they say is predictable. they said they were happy with the transaction, and that this gives them incentive to try to capture more americans, and the exact quote is one bergdahl is worth more than hundreds of other useless hostages, and so this is something that they are encouraging the fighters to do more to get their hands on the americans, and not that that is especially easy to do, mind you. and the other thing they told us a little bit is that they felt that over time, they got to i don't know if like is the right word, but human interaction and that is not unusual with the captors and the captives over a long period of time. they had a taylor come make this afghan style dress of him, a nd
8:11 am
they say that is a mark of respect towards him, but at the same time, they don't want him to be coming back. they also said that they were celebrating with the feasts of whole goats and rice after the release of their come rauds. >> and bobby, how can we characterize the relationship between bergdahl and the captors based on the reporting? >> well, look, they see him as an american soldier, so they see him as an enemy, but it is not uncommon in war when you have a prisoner over a long period of time, several years, there is some human connection made, and we will hear more from bergdahl when we do eventually hear from him, but the taliban commander that we spoke to said that he got to be on friendly, and i use the word "friendly" loosely term s with some of the captors that they got to talking and having a relationship. >> and alex, the relationship with the white house came up with a new story of why they did
8:12 am
not inform congress immediately before making that deal of trading bergdahl for the five taliban traitors, but they threatened to kill him if even news of the deal leaked out. what is the reaction to that on capitol the hill? >> well, they see it as another excuse from the administration and the republicans in particular who are critical of the president are not buying it. the first line from the administration was that bergdahl's health was in such frail condition that he could have died at any moment. at a classified briefing wednesday, they provided the proof of life video showing him frail, incoherent, and stammering, but the republicans said that, and also some democrats and joe manchin said that it appeared he had been druked or when he was released this past week that he looked to be in much better condition, so that the first line didn't work. and the second line that he would have been killed by the taliban, it has not been
8:13 am
embraced, but it is the one that the white house was shopping on capitol hill yesterday. >> and the president said no apologies, and no apologies for the bergdahl deal, alex, and called it another whipped up n controversy by washington, and noted that a number of republicans who first issued tweets celebrating bergdahl then erased the tweets as the story was murkier, and senator mike crapo said of i.d. id, our pr prayers have been answered and we offer our thanks for the perseverance of the family and the many idahoans who have kept this vigil, and we appreciate the men and who made this release possible, but yesterday, crapo said this, could potentially result in a problem for the national security. and where is all of this headed no the days ahead, alex? congressional hearings here? >> yes. next tuesday, the senate is going to be having a hearing on the circumstances surrounding bergdahl's release.
8:14 am
one of the big questions is, is this hearing public or private? carl levin, the democratic chairman wants to keep it behind closed doors, but the republicans want it opened up to the public and they have a unlikely ally in senate majority leader harry reid who wants them public, and the white house is going to go ahead to hearings, so there is attention going to be paid between the house and the senate in a coming days. >> and bobby, in the magazine's explorations, is there any idea why it is bergdahl that they traded for? >> well, a number of theories, but hard to be definitive, but as you said earlier in the report with aymon, and he is responding to the treatment, and we will hear from him, and so i hope that we don't have to speculate much longer. >> thank you, bobby ghost a.
8:15 am
and we continue to celebrate the 70th anniversary of d-day. the president recognizes those who died on the largest sea borseaborne invasion in history. more from the poignant ceremonies. >> and today, the job market has reach reached a momentum that they have apparently reached all of the jobs lost in the recession. all of that may not be cause for celebration. we will break that down. >> and to today a family with a deadly history of skin cancer says that the 10-year-old daughter returned from the field trip with a sunburn, because the school considers sunscreen toxic and won't allow it on campus. i will talk to the mom later, and it is the friday "newsnation" gut check. and as always, you can join us on twitter at news nation one

>> developing right now, new jobs numbers are out on the surface they look good and the labor department said that employers added 217,000 jobs in may continuing a four-month streak of the substantial gains and the unemployment rate held steady at 6.3%. wall street's reaction is that the dow jones is up nearly 70 points. wow. 217,000, zachary carebell, and he is here from slate magazine and also written a book, and there it is right there, the lead i leading indicators, a short history of the numbers that rule our world. i have heard it is a fantastic read. >> you can find out. >> and let's talk about the job number, good, sir. and let's look at where the jobs were added professional services, health care, and transportation, and warehousing,
8:20 am
and that is where the jobs are right now. and you are always tend to have a unique take on these jobs reports, and what is yours on this one? >> and the professional services one, which is a grab bag of secretarial work or janitorial work, but it is not great and meaning that it is not particularly high-paying job health care jobs are orderlies and not registered nurses and the lower end of the wage scale in health care services, and this is like the past few months if you think that the economy is glass half full, you can find some evidence in this report, and cup half empty, well, you can see it that the work week is down and the labor participation which means that the people who are statistically looking for woman is at lows in more than 20 years. >> and folks that have just completely stopped looking. >> and 2 million people are now in the workforce than true in 2009 2009, and so we have recovered a
8:21 am
ul that we have lost, but the reason that unemployment rate is higher is because there are more people looking for jobs who are not getting them. but then there are also more people who have jobs. these reports are the perfect kind of rorschach tests for political and the economic aperture, and they are going to keep providing fuel for the elections, because if you want to see it as a problem, you have wages, and people out of work, but if you want to see well, we are doing better than europe and other parts of the world. >> both parts with am yuammunit >>. >> yes. i am reluctant to put it up before we bring you on, because it is your contention that there is not necessarily a correlation of the market performance and the jobs numbers? >> right. a reason that the companies are doing well, and therefore the markets are doing well is because the labor costs are so muted, and they can use the technology and the global labor force to make more money, and i'm not saying that it is a particular criticism, but it is a fact of the world that we are living in. companies can take advantage of the things that are weighing on
8:22 am
the labor force in the aspects of the economy and so markets should be up, but they are not up because the labor forces are suddenly buying the stocks and the consumers, and is there a better wae for us to gauge the job growth? >> well, the wage numbers are an important one, and certainly the white house is focusing on inequality and income, and the income reports do come as part of the job reports, and so it is a important one and if you are working 35 hours a week at walmart and earning 25,000 a e year, the discretionary spending is not much. but if you have a 40,000/year teaching job, then it is a big deal. so we should be looking at that. >> and thank you. new video of california chrome, and there he is warming up ahead of the belmont stakes. and what are the odds of that horse becoming the first triple crown winner 36 years? up next, we will go live to belmont park. plus, excerpts from hillary

a 3-year-old horse is on track to make history this week. california chrome is the early favorite to win the belmont stakes and koconsequently becom horse racing's 12th triple crown winner ever. that horse won the kentucky derby and the preakness, and if he wins tomorrow, he is going to be the first triple crown winner since 1978, and his co-owner believe believes he has a fighting chance. >> he is getting bigger and stronger. he's ready to go, ready to run, and he is a rock star the and ready to rock. >> from elmobt, new york, katy

fan and they bought a couple of horses, and the mom and dad of california chrome for $10,000 which is almost nothing. everybody thought they were crazy, and out comes california chrome, this beautiful colt named after a california race and chrome for the bright spot on the nose, and if you are from california, it is extra exciting, because no california horse has ever won the triple crown. and i'm a californian, so it is great. and it is going to be a difficult race, and here is why, four times in the last 12 years the winners of the kentucky derby and the preakness have lost their bids here at the belmont. one of the reasons is the course itself because at a mile and a half, the belmont is longer than the preakness and the derby. he has a long distance to go and probably the longest race he will ever run. so he does have the hoofs made out for him, craig. you see that? hoofs made out for him. >> well, like that, katy tur.

post political script, and this year, it was overshadowed by the deal to free prisoner of war bowe bergdahl in exchange for five prisoners of guantanamo y bay. >> we still get an american soldier back that is held in activity. period. full stop. >> and it is a mistake and it is putting the lives of american servicemen and women at risk. >> we should have been consulted, and that the law should have been followed. >> he is not a hero, but he is rather a deserter, and he woefully left many, many people in harm's way, because of his action actions. >> sergeant bergdahl is a member of the armed forces of the united states of america, and that is a fact. >> in 12 years, we could not charge them and we had no evidence to charge them. >> i make absolute ly no apologies for making an agreement to back a young man to his parents.
8:34 am
>> and the con troe trer ver si followed president obama to europe where he continued the receive questions, but today, president obama struck a somber tone as he attended a number of d-day ceremonies, and he joined other world leaders to commemorate a day where more than 160,000 allied troops rolled on the shores of the beach of normandy, france, and liberated a continent. as a part of the day, he attended a lunch with 17 other leaders, including va putin and that lunch is the first face-to-face encounter since the start of the crisis. joining us is the director of the msnbc's "the daily rundown" and also, medal of honor recipient and msnbc correspondent colonel jack jacobs. chuck, we know that the
8:35 am
conversation was informal and happened at a lunch we are told today, and at this point, any idea what was said or what the two leaders said to each other? >> we don't have a full-fledged readout just yet, and the president is still coming out, and the entourage is still getting out of the second part of the ceremony, so we will get the official read out soon. they do talk to each other on the phone quite a bit, and we heard what the president said that he is going to be talking about, with which is that they have a very business-like relationship, and that perhaps there is a transactional part to be done. and there was another part that had to be between president obama and president putin, and also, president putin with the face-to-face of the incoming president president-elect of ukraine poroshenko, and how does that go? that is really, you know, the linchpin here of whether we will
8:36 am
move on beyond the crisis. does putin believe he can do business with poroshenko, while poroshenko has a good around solid relationship with the both united states and the rest of europe. how that relationship goes is going to tell us whether things can move forward in a more normal, and never say it is a friendly lly relationship betw putin and obama, but a less adversarial one. >> and that is pretty apt. and colonel jack, those e meetings aside here sh, and a momentous day. i am glad that you are here, and for the viewers who are watching and listening, you kex plain very well, immense significance of the d-day in american history and world history as well. >> yes, in 1941, everything had
8:37 am
happened in 1939 as a matter of fact, and we entered it kind of late, and the war had 11 or 12 months yet to go, but the invasion of normandy on d-day, 70 years ago today, that is the beginning of the end of the war, and everybody knew it. it was really important that we attack the heart of europe, and no way to roll the nazis back unless we did that, and if we did not do that, we might not defeat them, and surely, even if we did, war would take lots, lots longer, and in doing so we committed 160,000 americans to invading normandy on d-day. there were lots of dissimulation, and all kinds of faint faints. we had an entire fake army in england to try to confuse the nazis and convince them in a wide variety of ways that we were coming across callay, the
8:38 am
shortest distance of england and france and so it came as a surprise when we landed at normandy. and thank goodness that hitler did not listen to romel who insistsed that we were coming to norman normandy, and he did not listen to him, and did not reinforce and made it easier, and never the less, we lost thousands at d-day and thousands after that. 18, 19, 20 year-old kids facing projectiles and losing people in the beach, and in the fire, and the movie, "saving private ryan" gives the most accurate portrayal of what happened at this time, and despite all of that fire, we managed to push ashore, and push the nazis back. tough going for the young people who saved the world 70 years ago today. >> boy, facing certain death to free people who did not speak the language and folks they did
8:39 am
not know. >> and as you know, chuck, brian williams had a chance to speak to the president ahead of the deents have today, and we want to play a portion of what this day means to him. >> well, so many of us have in our families, you know, the men who were so young when they came here. and showed such extraordinary courage and capacity and changed the world and then go back home and settle back down. they didn't make a fuss about it. my grandfather passed away over 20 years ago, and this is one of the days when i thought to myself, it would have been nice to have him here. >> and chuck, you are there and you listened to president obama's speech this morning, and what is your take away from what he said? and, and the lenses through which he sees this moment in history. >> well, look, the presideresid
8:40 am
realizes that he is speaking on an anniversary, when you look at the way that the d-day anniversaries have been remembered by the american presidents and the first one to come over here was ronald reagan and why was the 40th the big deal? well, add the 20, 25 years to 40 and you will realize that at that time the world war ii veterans were entering retirement, and living their lives and starting to get the stories of the life they lived an how the greatest generation went from saving europe and the world to building the greatest middle-class and building this amazing economic uplift that we saw in the '50s and '60s in america. so that was the beginning of finding tout story, and sort of the beginning of history, and here is the president today, another american president at the 70th, and these guys are 80, or so, and this may be the last one where we have a significant
8:41 am
number of the veterans here. and i think thought that the president used his speech to say, hey, pass the baton from one greatest generation to the 9/11 generation, and hope you can grab it. we have had fits and start baby bo boomers and the jen-x ers, and perhaps you have more in common with the time of war and the great recession we had there, and the great depression, so he was making that attempt to sort of connect the generations, and that the next one we are starting to look forward to a little bit and see if the rite of history has the same positive impact of the generation of the world war here that this one had. >> and chuck todd and colonel jack jacobs, thank you, both, and have a great weekend. police in south carolina are investigating how a loaded 9 millimeter handgun ended up in the toy department at a target

8:47 am
to any of those things. >> so the common description of the folks around town and the people who knew him was that he with was a good guy? >> absolutely. >> reporter: but one detail leaps out at them, an apparently a year earlier tricia and chris had gone through a pretty rough patch in the marriage. the two were living in texas and trish decided to the leave her young husband and go back to medford. >> when she left texas she left with no notice of i'm leaving or no permission to take the kids or anything. they didn't talk about it at all, and she just up and left, and left him with the full lease on a house, and bills. >> he called me on the telephone, and he was distraught. in fact, i don't think that i have ever heard him so unhappy. he was going to move back to medford. >> reporter: according to his father, chris could not stand the thought of being separated from his children. his own parent's divorce had been devastating to him as a

senator barack obama before the 2008 democratic convention, writing, we stared at each other like two teenagers on an awkward first date, taking a few ships of chard donnay. time for the gut check on this friday. a texas mom is burning mad over the sunscreen policy in her daughter's school district. christy rigs sent her 10-year-old on a school field trip equipped with sun block so she could reapply throughout the day. when her daughter came back, she was sun burned because she was told she could not put it on. the school district told us, quote, sunscreen is a toxic substance and we cannot allow toxic substances in our classrooms. christy riggs joins me live now. this is something that hits home for you because your family has a history of skin cancer. how badly was your daughter burned? >> well, it was a bright red,
8:54 am
deep burn on her shoulders and her back. so it was significant. it was painful. it required motrin to sleep at night so enough that it hurt so bad she couldn't sleep. >> the district also had this to say. we really have to look at the safety of all of our students and as a result we cannot allow children to share sunscreen. they could possibly have an allergic reaction and could ingest it. it's really a dangerous situation. when it comes to students with aller allergies, do you think that's a fair point at least? >> i think they are basing it on a maybe, when if hundreds of children go on a field trip they will be burned if they don't apply sunscreen. i don't know where the toxicity comes into play. the fda approved sunscreen. it is not approved a toxic substance or it wouldn't be
8:55 am
approved by the fda. i don't know what they are basing it off of. i can't see saying if one child may or may not have an allergic reaction to it that it's okay for hundreds or thousands of children to get sun burn. if you research the skincancer.org, a child that receives a bad sun burn, just one bad burn that blisters, it doubles their chance of developing skin cancer later in life. why would they want to put hundreds of children and double the risk of cancer. >> really quickly before i let you go. what has the school district said since all of this has come to light? have they said they are going to consider a policy change? >> i think when they were questioned they said they evaluate their policies on an annual basis and so i'm really
