here. because of our relationship between the police department and community, that's how we solve crimes. we have a great relationship. i was with both family until 2:this morning. the one promise i made was that we will find those who did this to our community members, our family members. within about 3.5, 4 hours, we hem in hand. so -- you know that's a great testament to the community. to the federal government and to the state of -- police department, law enforcement, they all worked diligently to make it happen. the mississippi bureau of investigation is heading the investigation because we don't want to taint it. we want to make sure that we have a great case, one that will stand up in court. >> sir, immediatements are say the shooting occurred during a routine -- immediate reports say the shooting occurred during a routine stop. you talked about the word routine as being not applicable because every stop can go awry.

do we know what happened here why such a horrible incident? >> you know, i wish we could get into the head of people who do these kinds of things, alex. that's not possible. at least -- at least i'm not capable of doing it. it was a traffic stop. and i know people use -- use the word routine loosely. it was a traffic stop. something happened to make the officer believe that he needed to call for backup which he did. you know, we're still investigating that. the bureau of investigation is having an ongoing investigation as we speak right now. some of those we will -- answers we will have. one or two we won't . have we do have those who did it. it lets the community know they're safe. they don't have to worry. the police department is doing what they were sworn to, do to serve and protect. we're going to honor them by do that tomorrow homey at 1:00.

>> -- hopefully at 1:00. >> i twond resident got involved trying to help the officers. one of which, officer tate was from hattiesburg. talk about that. that was brave and bold of them to do that. >> well, you know, again, that's the kind of community we live in. and we are offering counseling even for those individuals. they're members of our community, as well. we all want the same thing. we want to have children grow up in a community that is prospering and that can be productive citizens when they are adults. that's the kind of caring community we have here. >> it also stems from good leadership. mayor johnny dupree sir, thank you very much for your time. >> i pray to god for you all. you all keep praying for the families of these officers. i do need your prayers. >> we absolutely will. thank you, mayor. throughout the nation, cities are cleaning up this mother's day. more than 45 tornadoes reported across the country saturday. in snerl texascentral texas, at least one person killed, three injured in cisco.

>> not just large hail damaging winds, tornadoes, flash flooding in areas that have received five to ten inches of rain. it can really be a dangerous situation there weekend. >> and those tornadoes continued through colorado. that's a large funnel cloud in colorado that swept through cheyenne wells. the tropical storm ana made landfall today in north carolina. nbc's gate gutierrez is there in wrightsville beach for us. hi, gabe. >> reporter: alex, good afternoon. this morning, about three weeks before the official start of hurricane season tropical storm ana made landfall along the carolina coast. just to our south and north of myrtle beach. right now, we're in between a rain band, dry for now. we've been seeing choppy surf as well as strong winds throughout the morning, as well as some beach erosion. right now ana has maximum sustained winds of about 40 miles per hour. it's moving to the north at about fiech miles per hour.

ana is the second earlier tropical storm to make landfall in the u.s. on record. it is expected to continue to bring this heavy rain up along the mid-atlantic past virginia and maryland through tuesday. alex, back to you. >> all right. gabe, thank you very much. residents in oklahoma city and other parts of the midwest are cleaning up after days of hail tornadoes, and severe thunderstorms. nbc joins us from oklahoma city. so you were out in it yesterday. how about today? what's the biggest concern for resident there? >> reporter: good afternoon, alex. the biggest concern now is for flooding, specifically flash flooding if the thunderstorms roll in again. you see the effects of all the water in the swollen rivers and creeks in this area. they've received double the amount of normal precipitation. emergency crews say more than 800 structures and recreational vehicles have been damaged or destroyed in this wave of

weather. officials have set up a special multiagency conference. a one-stop shop for people who have been faked by this weather to go and get guidance get relief, get some sort of assistance, whatever they need. officials also sending a warning in case the rains start up again to motor testosterone avoid waterlogged or -- motorists to avoid waterlogged or flooded roadways. it's tough to judge how much there is. as little as a foot can sweep a car away. a testament to how dangerous and powerful storms can be. >> it is. thank you very much. appreciate that from oklahoma. nbc meteorologist domenica davis is in studio to share what kind of to expect this mother's day. a busy day for you. >> it is. we have a lot going on. we'll start to the east. and you see tropical storm ana there. and that is still punishing with heavy rain. just north of where it made landfall. that's through north carolina right now. moving up to virginia. they are going to see heavy rain through the rest of today. then off to the west. we have our tornado watches and

a snowstorm. so north dakota that's our focus now. south dakota, rather that's our focus where we have a tornado warning in effect. and in the same state, we have blizzard warnings in effect. so this is a very -- is very wild weather but serious nonetheless. we have this tornado threat that does continue for the dakotas, goes into nebraska through this afternoon. this say potent system. we saw this yesterday. we saw it much of last week. oklahoma still under the gun. this is starting to push further east into the tennessee valley. dallas down to austin under a tornado watch through the afternoon into the early evening. we've been seeing active weather through the dallas/ft. worth area. that is going to continue. any of the storms that move through have the potential to have rainfall, two to four inches per hour. flooding is going to be a major threat through the rest of today. here is a look at the slight

risk. we've upped it to a moderate risk to the south. that's the hot spot for later today, tornadoes definitely a threat along with flooding. tomorrow that severe weather threat starts to push off into the ohio valley. here's a look at your mother's day forecast. it stays quiet well out to the west along the coast and along the northeast. temperature are well above normal, and it is dry. the storms move in by tuesday for the northeast. byu. >> thank you very much. demonstrators took to the streets of u.s. cities on this mother's day weekend to call for an end to gun violence. in washington, a group organized by mothers for justice united marched from the capitol to the justice department to protest police brutality. and demonstrators in new york marched yesterday to raise awareness on gun violence. protester called for stricter gun laws across the country. the march was organized by moms demand action for gun sense in america. baltimore's preparing for a mother's day rally and concert

later today. the legendary prince will headline. he has recorded and released a protest song titled "baltimore," addressing the unrest in the city. those attending have been asked to wear something gray in tribute to freddie gray who died last month in police custody. msnbc's adam reece is in baltimore. i imagine that concert-goers are looking forward to the event. what are they saying about it? >> reporter: they're excited that he's coming here. they're excited that he's showing his support. he'll debut his single called "baltimore." it's a protest song, but it's also a tribute to freddie grail after weeks of protest and riot and tension. he's hoping this will begin the healing prompsz as you mentioned -- healing process. as you mentioned he's asking people to wear gray and will donate proceeds to the baltimore in charities in baltimore. i talked to speak to people on the street. they're excited prince is going

come baltimore. >> i think a lot of people not just in maryland will appreciate him coming down here because a lot of people didn't come. i don't know. i think it's good to make everything positive by putting out a nice song like that. >> it's good to see a star of prince's caliber giving back to a city that he's probably not even from. >> great that he's coming here because it's good to show the people from baltimore that other people do care. >> it's still going bring awareness to baltimore and whatever happens. i think it's a good idea. >> reporter: meanwhile, the attorneys for the six officers charged have asked the state's attorney to step aside and drop the charges. they say she has too many conflict of interest. freddie gray's attorney is a supporter and has donated to her campaign. and her husband is a city councilman. his area is the district that has been affected by the

rioting. they've asked her to drop the charges, step aside, or both, or they school for an independent prosecutor. alex? >> all right. lingering controversy. thank you very much. the loss of two drug stores during the unrest in baltimore has come to symbolize the hardships people face in that city. for some people, it's put their health in jeopardy. we'll show you why. and building the campaign war chest. how hillary clinton's going about it differently than president obama with an eye on even bigger bucks. right now, verizon is offering unlimited talk.

we have breaking news this hour. former president jimmy carter has unexpected leended a trip to guy an -- unexpectedly ended a trip to guyana. in a statement, the 90-year-old former president was not feeling well. he's returning home to atlanta.

mr. carter was in guyana as part of a mission to monitor the country's voting process. if we have any further word on his condition, we will immediately bring it to you. a new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll finds that nearly 70% of voters are uncomfortable or have significant reservations about a presidential candidate with no experience in elected office. on this morning's "meet the press," chuck todd asked carly fiorina why she should be the exception. >> i understand how bureaucracies work. that's important because our government has become a vast, huge bloated, corrupt bureaucracy. i understand technology which is an important tool. lastly and equally importantly, i understand executive decision making a tough call in a tough time for which are you prepared to be held accountable. something that hillary clinton doesn't have a track record of. >> joining me "new york times" political reporter nicholas comfasori. glad to see you. the republicans, do they see carly fiorina as a legitimate

candidate? >> she's not in the top tier obviously, in the polling. so far you've got to consign her to the third tier of candidates running who can support her own candidacy, finance her own candidacy. the most important thing that she brings to the springfield a woman on the gop side. i think that you see in the interview with chuck and others going hard against hillary clinton aggressively perhaps in a way that might be hard for a male republican candidate. sounds unfair but i think she brings to the table the ability to, look, i can make these arguments about her competence and experience. >> okay. now fiorina, if you listen to her, says the voters she speaks with want an outsider. we hear they're sick of politicians. are you going to vote for someone like fee marine aben carson -- fiorina ben carson for that matter.

whatle? >> it would be strange to have a candidate actually ever say they talked to a voter who wanted them to not run for president. don't do it. >> true. >> i do think this is one of those things that americans are schizophrenic on. we say we don't want dynasties. we vote over and over again for dine cities for people the sons and grandsons of former presidents. we say we want outsiders but almost always elect insiders. people who have been around. it's one of those myths of the american politics that it's the outsider who wins. i think what is more important than being an actual outsider to the establishment is being able to position yourself as one and sell yourself effectively as an outsider based on your policies and your work history as a politician. that is always part of presidential campaigns. over and over again you see people run as a non-establishment candidate. and it's often very effective. >> all right. i want to talk about the latest article on hillary clinton. you write that she's going begin personally courting donors for

the priorities usa super pac, a first for a democratic presidential candidate. how much of a game-changer is this? >> it's big. the democratic super when we come back world has never been as well fund -- super pac world has never been as well funded in the democratic sphere as the republican one. when this started in 2012, republican candidates were a lot more aggressive about saying, look here are the rules. and there are all these things we can do as a candidate to help the super pac without breaking the coordination rules. mitt romney would appear over and over again at these gatheredings for donors to -- gatherings for donors to the big super pacs backing him. barack obama did not. he really only reluctantly embraced the super pac the same one that's going to back hillary clinton supported him in 2012. it was founded by two former advisers to barack obama. he was very reluctant and didn't like it. he thought it was hypothetical of him because he had spoken out

about how bag citizens united was. eventually the group raised about $80 million. it's a lot of money, but it was a small amount of all the money his campaign and his party spent to elect obama. and it paled in comparison to their republican ones. i'm saying all that because having the candidate say yes i like this group, you should give them money, is actually a very big deal. if you talk to the obama guys from 2012 what they say over and over again was it was hard to raise money from donors who weren't convinced that the president was actually in favor of what we were doing. >> are there concerns how this could turn off fellow democrats and the masses of the $25 donors there, many of whom have railed against the super pacs? >> i'm not so sure about that. it oopgs it's hard to find even a campaign reform advocate willing to assail her for doing. this i think everybody realize its's part of the landscape and would be hard for her to win if she doesn't do it. if it's going to be her or a

republican who doesn't favor any of the reform measures to limit the impact of super pacs, take your pick, right? >> yeah. interesting point here from your colleague frank bruni with a column on clinton. he writes "the 2016 race is in its adolescence is between the dependably messy, perpetually maddening spectacle of the clintons, and the party with a brand dismating profusion like madhaterts, like the who ii who grabbed the spotlight last week, huckabee and carson. advantage, hillary clinton." the question then once the madhatters leave the race can the clinton campaign still weather the self-created crieses? >> it's a great question. it's so early in the campaign, and hillary clinton is so well known. it's awfully hard to change the opinion of voters about hillary clinton. she's been in the public eye for more than 20 years. she's had a lot of ups and downs. people have baked in views.

the job of the press is to inform people about what she's been up to to plum deals with her foundation. i think there's a lot left to plum and more to see. we'll see how well -- how much an issue it becomes down the road. >> despite publicly welcoming him, how do you think the clinton campaign is really looking at bernie sanders entering the sflas. >> you know, he's a certain threat. there's this sort of a cold war between the democratic left and the establishment and hillary clinton. they are trying to find ways to pressure her on issues like trade, wall street reform and they realize that it's going to be hard without a candidate. now if bernie sanders is that candidate, it's not clear. it's probably not going to be elizabeth warren. but the goal i think of the liberal activists on this is to find ways to nudge her and pressure her. i think that hillary clinton and her team see bernie sanders as

someone who is going to be sort of a gentle force of ideas in the primary. he said he's not going to run negative ads against her. he said he isn't going to run that kind of campaign. that seems like a pretty minimal threat from their point of view. the question is, is there an issue that emerges, a single issue like the iraq war that derailed her last campaign that will pop up and provide a vehicle for someone like sand force pound it again and again and attract voters and make voter rethink support for her. >> always good to see you. thanks for joining me. >> you, too. old-school parenting. my next guest makes a mother's day call for hetero child rearing.

express why they love their mothers so much. anna jarvis credited with creating mother's day in 1908 became so upset over the commercialization, she sought to have the federal holiday abolished. when my next guest had her first child, she followed the so-called rules of modern day parenting. nonstop activity glowing price, devotion. two children later, she realized it was her mother's tough-love generation who may have had it right all along. lon -- "child please: how old school lesson helped me check myself before i wrecked myself." and her piece "what black moms know" of featured in "the new york times." it applies to white moms too. there was great stuff in there. tell me about the details of the old-school parenting compared to the modern norm. >> well, what was beautiful back in the day, i think, is that moms were pragmatic first and foremost. they did what made sense. they didn't try professionalize

motherhood the way some of us are encouraged to. they didn't follow tips or what expert said they followed their instincts. and there was no pressure on them the way there is now on mothers to conform to a set standard of -- >> and to be criticized by fellow moms sometimes. >> the hate-eration. it's bad. it's really bad. really bad. we look at other, and we -- we feel insecure basically is what it is about the job we're doing. i think that's what causes it. instead of just looking at ourselves, we look at that and say, oh she's not nursing, oh she didn't do that. somehow maybe makes the lowest common denominator in us feel better about ourselves which is sad. >> perhaps. there's a "new york times" piece, and i want to read part of what you wrote "thankfully i'm a black mom. like many of my fellow sisters, i don't have time for the foolishness. our charge is to raise. notice i did not say parent, our children in a way that prepares them for a world at which best

may overlook their awesomeness, at worst seek to destroy." explain the race card. what is it you appreciate about your culture? >> i was trying to say since i was raised by a mom and her mom before her historically, slave oh forth, black moms had have had to teach their children how to survive first and foremost. how to be strong. how to be resilient. what you have now in modern parenting culture is this feed on self-esteem. make them happy, happy, happy. not that black moms didn't want their kids to be happy, i feel fortunate that i'm grounded in something more than happy. it's not fleeting not elusive. it's strength. it's integrity. it's those things that really will take a kid and help them to navigate their way through life. it's not that white moms don't know this, but with the commercialization of motherhood many have gotten away from it. >> what you talk about doesn't have a lot to do with income.

this should be able to be indoctrine ated with our children in our homes regardless. how much money you've got coming in. >> totally. my mom was very simple. she worked in a factory. she came home every day from that factory job. what i most appreciate about her and one of the things that drove me to her old-school lessons was that unlike me at a certain point in my motherhood where i was crazy and running my kids here and fro, looking crazy, i would run out with sweats, no make-up, taking my kids to school in pajamas. >> i know that. >> exactly, right? my mama looked good. my mama looked good most all the time. she took care of herself. she pressured her woman hood not just her motherhood. and again, i think that's pragmatism. >> can you tell a difference -- you started one way and flipped your mothering style. can you tell a difference in your kids? >> well, the difference i see so far -- they're 16 14, and 8, so we don't know which way they'll

go. they're awesome, don't get me wrong. what i think i see is a calmness because i'm happier. i feel like you know my kids like to say which of us do you love best, who's your favorite. i always like to say to myself i have three kids but i love me best. i need to do who what works for me. if i'm not happy, an oldically shea, but no -- old cliche but no one's going to be happy. >> you're setting a great example. happy mother's day. love the orange. >> we got it going on. i think what happens in las vegas stays in las vegas? well maybe not for pentagon employees who use their military credit cards for adult fun. uh-huh.

it's been nearly two weeks since people protesting the death of freddie gray looted and burned two cvs stores. as the company works to rebuild the stores, hundreds of residents are dealing with the grim reality of not having access to the local pharmacy.

and joining me now, commissioner of the baltimore health department. dr. enwen, thank you for joining me. with 230 stores in baltimore, how is the closure two of stores affecting residents profoundly? >> we've heard of hundreds if not thousands going without access to life-saving medications. i heard from a whom is in her 60s who had two heart attack who stopped taking blood pressure pills and blood thinners. somebody ran out of insulin and had uncontrolled diabetes. they couldn't see out of her eyes. we may not think it's a big deal to walk an extra few block or take another bus to go to a foorm see, but if you're chronically ill, in a wheelchair, on a walker have oxygen and don't have family nearby having your local pharmacy closed mean the difference between life and death. >> those examples you cite read

huge. how do you respond -- cited are huge. how do you respond to resident in dire need? >> we heard from residents from dozens, hundreds of people. and under mayor recalling-blake's leadership, the baltimore city health department established a 24/7 hotline where we would help every resident who was affected by the pharmacy closure. so anyone was able to call us and tell us about their need. we took things on a case-by-case basis because we knew that everybody was different. some people just need information. some people need the prescription to be transferred. others have limited mobility and don't just have a problem with medications. they also don't have their ensure adult diapers or food. we set up a shuttle service. we have now prescription mail order and have done deliveries so we can fulfill the needs of all our residents. we actually had 200 people call us. we fulfilled each of their needs. >> that's fantastic.

situations are dire as you're describing. in your five months as health commissioner, what do you see as the most important issues facing sfwhault. >> there are rampant -- baltimore? >> there are rampant health disparities closely tied to everything -- to poverty, drugs, lack of housing, education. it can seem overwhelming to tackle all of these issue at once. even if we're talking about things like violence that has so many facets, it's overwhelming. they are such big problems. i would say that the single-most important issue is mental health and substance abuse. unless we address these problems, we're not going anywhere. >> what's backing that up is a quote i want to look at from a portlandskate state university publication on that, we must look at the trauma caused by structural impression implicit>>bryant: i can't say and racism.

might seem inconsequential but have left scars enduring for generations. you're seeing evidence of this look like. >> absolutely. the trauma we're facing as a result of the unrest that is going to take not just weeks and months but years for us to heal. in the wake of protests our health department under or mayor's leadership also established a 24/7 crisis/mental health hotline, and we're providing group counselling to any groups that may need it. because we know that mental health is a huge problem in our city. we really need comprehensive solutions that take into account substance abuse and the criminal justice system. >> all right. dr. lena wen, it sounds like you're the right person at the helm. thank you very much. pentagon officials are issuing stern new warnings after an audit by the defense department found a number of employees used their company credit cards to gamble at casinos in las vegas and atlantic city. they also charged adult

entertainment to these cards. officials say the employees, both civilian and military, have been disciplined and insist that the federal government in no way paid for the credit charges since the employees paid for their own bills. joining me is brian bender from president clinton dough which i say -- politico, to which i say, really? this report is going to be made public in a couple of weeks. how many employees are we talking about here? did they break any laws doing this? >> this is a defense department inspector general report that we will see a public version of shortly. it's apparently hundreds of employees who use these government travel cards for activities like adult entertainment gambling. this say small percentage of the pentagon employees who have these cards. less than 1%. still nearly $1 million worth of charges. it's the latest of what's been a number of cases over the years where government employees use government credit cards for

things that are not legitimate. >> right. >> so the hope is this audit done by the inspector general is a step in the direction of clamping down on these fraudulent charges. >> you know, you say this represents in these hundreds of people less than 1% of the population there working with the military and otherwise that get the credit cards. but the thing is we are having these repeat offenses like this. how prevalent do you think this is because it was only caught because of the audit. >> it's a widespread problem. there are reports going back years of hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars being charged by government employees for things from electronic to haircuts. the coast guard found their employees were charging $12,000 at one coffee shop alone in california and charging it to the government. there was a law passed in 2012 proposed by senator grassley which called on federal agencies

like in this case at the pentagon to do more audits. i think these cases have come up so many times. clearly people are not getting the message that there was a desire to do more oversight. this report i think is part of the effort to clamp down on this. this problem goes back decades and probably isn't going to end totally any time soon. >> is there anything being offered out there when it comes to fixing the problem anything shorts of a warning? what do you think can be done? it casts a poor light on the pentagon and other government agencies when these things come up. >> as the pentagon said people in this case -- people have been disciplined, in the past employees have been fired. i think it was the bureau of land management last year fired several employees for this activity. ultimately i think if the problem continues, what the pentagon has to do is go after individuals as passesed to going

after the and pointing out abuses. these reports should get attention. federal employees are abusing the public trust by doing this. >> brian bender from politico. thank you, brian. >> thanks for having me. in a moment a new battle over police body cams. it's now whether police should wear them -- it's not whether they should wear them but should the public have routine access to the videos.

chairman of the district's judiciary committee. kenyon, with a welcome to you, i understand you are opposed to the mayor's plan. what do you think is wrong with it? >> i am opposed to the plan. i think the fact that she would move forward with a program that would include a blanket exemption to our freedom of information act luis the -- laws is the wrong way to go. body cam programs are important, just as they are around the country. we'll be moving forward in the district with one of the most extensive body camera programs to the tune of 2,800 cameras. the problem is we've got to do in a way that's inclusive, do it in a way that includes community input. and not have a blanket exemption to our laws which in my opinion undermines the transparency we're seeking to achieve by implementing the program to begin with. >> there's a story in "the atlantic," i'm sure you're familiar with it that reports on privacy issues involved with police video. normally private information would be redacted out of public records. there's no simple way to

compartmentalize the sensitive aspects of video footage. so do privacy issues outweigh the public's right to know? >> i think it's important to strike a balance. we've got to strike an important balance between privacy and transparency and accountability. attorney general loretta lynch recently said that trying to improve police/community relations is one of the most challenging issues. our times. we recognize that in the district of columbia which is why we're moving forward with the program. what we won't do is have a blanket exemption that erodes what you're trying to achieve. >> is there a concern that privacy issues could be used as an excuse not to release to the public even when privacy issues aren't involved? what's going to be judging the question? >> that's precisely the issue. if we're going to have a blanket exemption against laws, there's a question of who's going to be

judging what goes out and comes in. that's an issue in the district of columbia. we want to avoid that problem and enhance the public trust. having a robust program that utilizes our currents laws which already have exemptions for personal privacy and exemptions for things that might compromise an ongoing investigation. bursting in place a blanket law is wrong-headed. i do not support. it ultimately we want to enhance the public trust. you do that by inviting scrutiny allowing access to footage where there's no privacy concerns or where there are no concerns for victims of crimes or individuals who perhaps weren't arrested or charged with a crime. >> has the mayor explained her position? >> the mayor has explained her position. i'm pleased to see i've had subsequent conversations with the mayor, conversations with the chief of police. we want to move forward with the program. it's important to make sure that we utilize tools like body cams.

that if implemented properly will help to enhance transparency and promote accountability. >> all right. kenyon mcduffie, it is an ongoing conversation. i'm sure we'll speak to with you again about. it thank you very much for your time. >> thanks. in a moment the unkept promises to the people of earthquake-ravaged nepal. boys? stop less. go more. the passat tdi clean diesel with up to 814 hwy miles per tank. just one reason volkswagen is the #1 selling diesel car brand in america. ugh... ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.

two weeks after a massive earthquake devastated nepal, aid has been slow to arrive in the devastated country. the u.n. said it has received only a fraction of the finances necessary to bring relief to the people of nepal. jing me elijah wilson who returned from nepal. talk about what you saw in terms of relief efforts. >> i think they're currently slow to get out to the rural areas. in kathmandu itself there's plenty. there's a lot of people coming in from outside of the country who are landing here to sort of do the best they can, but getting out to the more rural parts of the country is difficult, even in the best of

times, and in this current situation it's nearly impossible, so i would say it's slow, but getting better as the days go on. >> when you write, more than 10,000 people being affected how do you get this mass of devastation across to your readers? >> i think that's the challenge and i think maybe the bigger challenge is sort of keeping people engaged and convincing people that this is not over. all these people who are affected the number right now is 800,000 people lost their homes, and two weeks out, their homes are still gone and attention has waned and moving in different directions and i think the people of nepal are actually quite worried that as the international eye moves from nepal, things will instead of getting better actually get worse. >> yes, and certainly kathmandu we see a lot of pictures from that. you headed out into the devastated countryside which by your pictures and your story is wiped out, literally flattened.

>> it's worse out there. i went to a district called dolaka. to get there you drive 90 miles east of kathmandu and the country that you drive through, yes, it's just everything is flattened. 95% of the buildings have been destroyed. nobody has a home anymore. supplies are gone because they've been crushed, destroyed, lost in the earthquake. >> even the roads you were driving on. i mean you told me you were driving on the good ones. >> yes, that's right. the best roads are slow going right now. there's cracks all over the place, there's giant boulders the sizes of cars blocking the way. there's a lot of traffic of people trying to get back to their ancestral villages and that is the good areas. the farther you get out and there's some villages that are literally ten days' drive from kathmandu you can't take a car. you need to get out and walk. >> we have the photos from you, thank you so much. we appreciate them. have a good one.

>> thank you. that say wrap of this sunday edition of "weekends with alex witt." "meet the press is up next." from our family to yours we wish you a happy and relaxing mother's day. i love you, mom, and we'll see you next week.
