even earthquakes already in the area today. it comes on the heels of a devastating earthquake that has left more than 8,000 people dead. much more as it comes in. now to the new england patriots and their star quarterback tom brady. he has been suspended for the first four games based on the league's investigation into the deflation of footballs used in last season's afc champion game. the team has been fined $1 million and docked two draft picks. one in 2016 and one in 2017. the fine is the largest the league has ever handed out. there is a substantial and credible evidence to conclude that we are at least generally aware of the actions of the patriot's employees involved in the deflation of the footballs. your actions as set forth in the report clearly constitute conduct detriment tall to the

integrity and the public confident in the game of professional football. his attorney says he will accuse the league of poor disciplinary choices adding i am can have confidence the wells report will be exposed as frail in fact finding in logic. he's bob costas on the appeal. >> the commissioner can hear the appeal himself but he could also decide to refer it to an independent arbitrator. that might play well in the court of public opinion. he could be saying see, look? let someone else verify for you that i have been thorough and fair. that is up to the commissioner. the four-game suspension gives them a little bit of a pad. let's say under whatever process the appeal results in a reduction, at least then it's not going from two games to one. it's four to three or two and there's still teeth in it.

>> if after the appeal the four-game suspension stands brady would return to action on october 18th against who else but the indianapolis colts, the very team that turned into the underinflated footballs in the first place. made for television. meanwhile robert craft released a statement which reads in part despite our conviction that there is no tampering with footballs. it was our intention to accept any discipline levied by the league. today's punishment however far exceeded any reasonable expectation. tom brady has our unconditional support, our belief many him has not waivered. they're going to fight. let's go to the white house as the obama administration stands next to the original standing about osama bin laden.

a walk in asset from pakistani intelligence told the cia where the 9/11 master mind was hiding. and those two sources plus a third say the pakistani government say they knew where bin laden was hiding all along. the u.s. government has said they had cure yours. the official story constructed to protect the assets. nbc has been following leads but both assertions were reported this week. the story raises other questions about the raid including that the u.s. told pakistan about the seal team six operation before it launched. a story other officials deny. the nsc insists it was in a

small circle of senior u.s. officials. >> the obama white house is not the only one to observe that the story is riddled with inaccuracies and falsehoods. the former department krerkt of the cia has said that every sentence was wrong. >> as for what pakistan knew nbc news sources say the pakistani intelligence service were aware of his location. another says the u.s. harbored long suspicions that they were cooperating. saudi arabia's prime minister is dismissing reports that a summit is being snubbed by not attending this weekend's meeting. the white house said salman would meet until the king

abruptly withdraw. former minister said the reports of the snub were really off base after a round of critical stories yesterday, the king called the president to express his regret in not being able to travel to washington. they discussed the summit's agenda and iran's nuclear program and the upcoming cease fire in yemen. the top leaders bahrain, oman and united arab emirates will also not be attending. >> for the purposes of having a meeting about how to deepen our security cooperation with our partners in saudi arabia having the crown prince and the department crown prince both of whom have leadership responsibilities when it comes to providing for the security of saudi arabia gives us confidence that we'll be able to have a robust discussion but also that we'll be able to follow through on the commitments that are made in the context at the meeting.

>> secretary of state has just landed in russia in anticipation of a meeting with president vladimir putin. this would be their first meeting since the crisis in ukraine escalated last year. american officials say the discussions will center on the conflict in syria. they met on the subject two years ago resulting on an international meeting with the war. this comes after other western leaders boycotted a celebration of the end of world war ii. 2016 jeb bush knew he would face fire over immigration. last night he didn't shy away from putting himself at odds with some candidates past and present. even defending his support for instate tuition for undocumented immigrants. >> there are few options. the things of making things so

harsh, i don't think that's practical and rounding people up door to door isn't practical either. we need to enforce the laws of our country for sure and the boarder. a practical solution of getting to fixing the legal system is also allowing for a path to legalized status. not citizenship. if you've been here for an extended period of time you have no neck sus to the country of your parents. what are we supposed to do? there's not to be a porntint where we fix the system so legal immigration is easier than illegal and show some respect for people, a kid that might have been here ten years, so say you're not allowed to go to college, i think there's a point past which we're over the line. >> bush is also facing backlash for his comments in the same interview about iraq. saying he would have authorized the invasion of iraq even knowing what we know now.

conservative columnist wrote that if he sticks to his guns it will represent a step back for the republican party. huh. meanwhile rand paul is threatening another filibuster this time over reauthorizing the patriot about but the campaign is getting headlines in an early primary state for other matters caught on camera. no campaign likes trackers the people who try to catch candidates in gaffes. a person for american bridge was in a campaign when a staffer licked the lens. the group tweeted this staffer had a new slogan for the state, lick free or die. i hope she cleaned off the lens. serious story now. let's go to hatties berg, mississippi. a police procession escorted the

it didn't look good and figured something like this may

happen, but, yeah. i guess tom's been a friend of mine. i don't like to see anybody get suspended. any time you lose a starting quarterback for four games and draft picks, that's a pretty big statement, and obviously the nfl is serious about not messing with the integrity of the game no matter how big or little the issue is. >> that was the patriot slayier himself, eli manning with his thoughts on the tom brady suspension. how does it compare to some of the other recent punishments dolled out by the nfl in take a look at some of the initial punishments. ray rice was originally given two games. when the came out, he was suspended indefinitely before it was overturned on appeal. adren peterson son was appealed after accusations of abusive

discipline on his son. another one for six ones after accusations of sexual misconduct. that was later parred down to four. the rice case revamped a personal conduct policy. as far as game integrity, it's not the first time new england has been found guilty of breaking rules. in 20007 head coach bill belichick were punished after videotaping in what became known as spy gate. another one targeting opposing players. assume this will be the beginning for the patriots and all eyes on them. let's go to the association round two of the nba playoffs. the warriors even up the conference finals. curry led golden state scoring
