kevin, good morning. >> well, it was some high anxiety here at midway airport yesterday as these passengers on the plane were told that one of the passengers may have a virus called the monkey pox, which is very similar to smallpox virus. this passenger was traveling back to the united states from a visit to africa. as it turns out, she said to her mother on the phone that she had been bitten by bed bugs. and that one of the children that she was planning to adopt, who was still in africa, had some kind of a skin rash. the mother seems to have sort of confused all of this, the mother called health officials, the next thing you know, this plane was quarantined on the ground here at midway airport. cdc officials came on board with masks and hazmat suits on, and at the end of the day, all the passengers who were very patient on this flight, they were all allowed to let go once the story was all straightened out. but for a few hours here on the

ground at midway, it was quite a tense situation. natalie? >> they'll all have a story to tell. kevin ticks at midway airport. three american service members have been killed in a bomb attack in eastern afghanistan. this just days ahead of the one-year anniversary of osama bin laden's death. meantime a federal judge has rejected a request to release photos and video of the terror leader taken during that raid that killed him last year. new allegations of misconduct overseas have the secret service investigating a trip to el salvador back in march of 2011. reports have emerged claiming that agency employees hired strippers and prostitutes ahead of the president's visit to the central american nation last year. the news comes just days after homeland security secretary janet napolitano assured lawmakers that the prostitution scandal in colombia was just an isolated incident. and the big bear on campus is back where he belongs. a 200 pound black bear scaled a tree thursday at the university

of colorado boulder. he stayed up there for about two hours until wildlife officials brought him down, gently there you see on that little floaty. with tranquilizer darts. the bear was tagged and eventually released in the nearby mountains. does not look like a good fall. five minutes past the hour. let's go back out to al with a check of your weather. >> all righty. thank you so much, natalie. got some friends here from tuscaloosa, and i know you're celebrating the one-year anniversary of that super outbreak tornadoes, hope everything's going well there. everybody getting their act together. let's see what we've got as far as your weather today. we are looking at some strong storms in the midsection of the country. nothing quite as bad as a year ago. we are going to see some showers moving in to coastal pacific northwest later today. slight risk of strong storms in the mid-mississippi river valley. few showers in northern new england. plenty of sunshine through the gulf coast with a lot of heat through texas. >> good morning.

we expect dry weather. it will be kind of windy. high temperature expected near 63. >> and that's your latest weather. natalie? >> al, thank you. now to the story of sean goldman, abducted by his mom to brazil, and then finally handed over to his father david, after a five-year, international battle. at the time we could only guess what he was feeling. but now, in an exclusive interview with meredith vieira, the boy caught in the crosshairs of all the controversy opens up about his confusing ordeal, and all of its painful repercussions. he was at the center of a case

that sparked such an international firestorm it reached the highest levels of both the u.s. and brazilian governments. at the age of 4, sean goldman was abducted to brazil by his mother and abruptly cut off from his father with no explanation of why. when he was 8, his mom died. but even then his brazilian family tried to keep him there. never telling him that his distraught dad had been fighting all along to bring him home. nobody told you? nbc chronicled his dad's five-year struggle. traveling with him to brazil on many of the 15 trips he made, trying to get his son back. watching as the bitter legal wrangling took its toll. >> why won't they just let me go home with him? >> but sean had no idea how hard his dad was fighting. and when his brazilian relatives were finally ordered to hand him over, sean just looked bewildered and terrified. you were a boy. >> 9 years old. >> reporter: that was two years ago. since then, as father and son

have tried to heal, david has fiercely guarded sean's privacy. but now, in an exclusive interview for "dateline," sean talks openly about his confusing ordeal and all its painful repercussions. did you understand what was going on during that period at all? >> no. from what i remember, i was confused. >> reporter: in what way? >> like, what's going on? where's my dad? >> reporter: it must have hurt you, then, to be that confused and not know what was going on? >> well, yeah, but i didn't want to be like a loner so i had to kind of tuck the feelings away. and try to live with -- >> reporter: with the situation? >> with the situation, yeah. >> reporter: is that what you did, do you think? tucked the feelings away? >> yeah. >> reporter: but even now, as the little boy who learned to suppress his feelings re-establishes his bond with his dad, his family in brazil is still fighting for him. you almost make this look easy

and i'm sure it hasn't been. the past couple years. >> not at all. well, the past couple years kind of, because my dad has been very helpful. but the five years weren't -- >> reporter: what's the difference? tell me what made the five years hard versus now. >> now, i have a guide. >> reporter: a guide? >> my dad. he's a guide. and i don't know how to explain it. it's just this bond. that's why he is easier, because i have my dad. >> and david goldman joins us now. good morning, david. good to see you again. >> good morning. >> i know sean's at school today. >> yes, he is. but i see a little boy who's really grown up a lot in that time. and able to really express himself. why did you want him to speak out now? >> well, he wanted to. just to get it off his chest, and say what he needed to say, and then let's go back and be a little boy again. and he really wants to be an example of what needs to happen,

and that's return these children back to their rightful parents, their rightful countries, and we have to stop international child abduction. in the last three years alone there's been nearly 5,000 new cases with american children abducted across international borders. >> right. >> and he's suffered too much. i've suffered too much. and these children right now, as we're sitting here, are suffering, and so are their families. >> but he's taking up the cause that you have been so passionate about, as well. >> in his own way, yes. he's the proof. i mean these judges, they keep these kids before they make a ruling for a year and they say, yeah, we recognize the child's been here illegally for a year, abducted but now they're settled. we won't return them. and sean is living proof that the children need to come back home as quickly as possible, as it is in the hague convention. >> i was wondering as you were listening to sean talk about how during that time when he was in brazil he said he was confused. and he was wondering where his

dad was. where you were. >> california. >> that had to be really hard to hear that. what emotions were you feeling? >> you know, it was very painful. the first time i saw him after nearly five years in brazil, he looked at me, and asked him, where i had been all this time. >> mm-hmm. >> and, you know -- >> because he didn't know the fight that you were waging here to get him back. >> no. and it wasn't his job or position to know the fight. his job is to just be a little boy, and now going to be a 12-year-old boy. but it is very painful. he was told that i didn't love him, i abandoned him, i never wanted him. then he became afraid to even ask, because there was the answer that he got were just too painful. so he had to just succumb to the abductors who are very manipulative and narcissistic and very cruel. it's a form of child abuse. >> there is still a legal battle being waged on two fronts. here in the u.s., as well as brazil. and brazil, sean's grandmother and his stepfather are appealing

the decision that allowed him to come here in the u.s. and she's also filed a suit here in the u.s., and that is either saying she's appealing a ruling which denied her request for visitation. and she says that her human rights are being violated because she hasn't been allowed to visit with her grandson. what do you want to say to that? >> well, she's been around from the beginning when sean and i returned, before she started these lawsuits, we tried to open up a dialogue and communication on how she can participate and take a good role, as a good, healthy role in sean's life. and that would include meeting with his therapist. and recognizing that he has his dad. and essentially they sued me here for custody. they wanted liberal vacations with him. liberal this. and how can i trust these people knowing that as we speak, they're filing suits in brazil to get him back, and if we didn't have the highest levels of this government, and millions of people in our country who i'll be forever grateful for advocating on our behalf, he would still be there right now, as an abducted american child. >> she is speaking out, i should say, talking about this episode

of "dateline" saying, hearing sean and what he's saying, she thinks it's cruelty. she thinks it's an exhibition. what is your reaction? >> i think an exhibition was when they paraded my son through the streets in brazil the last day when he was supposed to be handed off to his dad, coming back to america. who's cruel and who's an exhibitionist? just review those clips of that scene, what they dragged sean through the streets. >> meanwhile, sean's doing great at a new school now and he's adjusting well? >> yes, he is. he's an honor student. he's on two baseball teams. we have our little nucleus of my three sons type of family. >> you're engaged to be married to wendy. >> yes. >> your fiancee. and she has two boys as well. >> yes. >> so got an instant family now. >> we're doing the best we can just to be, you know, normal. normal. that's all we want. we want our kids to be happy. we want to just be normal, typical american family. >> move on with your lives. >> and move on with our lives. knowing our role is to help those. help get these other families reunited. we have a new bill that

passed -- >> that's right. and i'll just mention that really quickly. we're running out of time. the sean and david goldman child abduction and prevention return act of 2012. so that's going to congress now. >> yes. >> good luck with that. >> thank you, natalie. >> thanks again for being here. >> thank you. >> great to see you as always. david goldman. and again the book out now, by the way in paperback, it's called "a father's love: one man's unrelenting battle to bring his abducted son home." and you can see more of meredith's exclusive interview with sean goldman tonight on "dateline" at 10:00, 9:00 central time here on nbc. coming up next, if you're in the market for a new home, we've got a sneak peek at some open houses for $250,000 or less. and then a little bit later on, the secrets to getting an upgrade when you travel. ♪ [ female announcer ] irresistibly touchable skin hour after hour. ♪ it all starts with new 48-hour nivea extended moisture

resolution. and dr. gail saltz is a "today" contributor as well as the mother of three girls. good morning to both of you. dr. sophy i love how you put it. there's no more fascinating and frightening dynamic than a mother/daughter dynamic. >> it goes from zero to 100 in about two seconds and back. and your head is spinning sometimes. it's a scary relationship. it's volatile. but it's a really very important relationship. >> gail, i met a lot of people who say i have a great relationship with my mother, i adore my mother, she's my best friend, would also say at some times i've had problems with my mom or there are tensions there. they're not mutually exclusive propositions. >> not at all. i think there has to be both. that's how you work things through. because if you don't have some conflict you're probably not honest about what's going on in your relationship. you can't be the clone of your mother. and that -- therefore, there are going to be disagreements. >> absolutely. >> really that's the bottom line. >> every relationship has that. >> you saids there always an element of competitiveness

between mother and daughter. i got to tell you that surprised me. >> why? >> something i haven't experienced i guess, or i'm happy to say. >> or you don't know it exists. that's more likely the case. because you know, your mother is your model. and you want to be like here in some ways. you want to surpass her in some ways and then the mother watches the daughter come up, right, and become as she ages out and there's going to be competition on both sides. >> let's get some tips. you have some ideas on how to improve your communication. one thing is the first step is to evaluate the relationship. who wants to take that? >> i'll take that. i think it's important to really know who you are and what you want out of that relationship and make sure that you see it as a priority in your life. even though it's a tough relationship, it is a needed and wealthy and heavy relationship. you've got to make it work. >> the next step, decide your wants and needs. >> you know, by that, i think you have to say, what is a want and what is a need? you really do need certain things. certain level of respect, certain kindnesses. but you don't -- you can't have

everything you want. so i think it's all about empathizing. standing in the other person's shoes. knowing where they're coming from and that has to do with saying, i do need this. >> and i think mothers and daughters want the same thing. they all want love, understanding and respect from each other. but you have to give it to get it. >> the next step is to discuss your expectations and that's when i hear, fight coming on. >> or perhaps tension, anyway. >> you know, i think that's because you have to know what your expectations are of the relationship. not my expectations of you, my mother. >> you're right. i wouldn't lay it out like these are my demands. that won't go over well. but, saying, you know -- first of all, if you always start out with a positive, you know, i value this in you. >> right. >> you really come from a position of strength. it really helps the relationship. so i think too often we don't let our mothers know what we appreciated about what they've done for us, our upbringing. if you start there, they're not going to be on the defensive and then you can move in with, these things are problematic and aren't working so well. >> last bit of advice i think is

really key. resolve issues as they arise. >> please resolve. i mean that's what the book is about. using two chairs to show you where you are in a conflict. but you've got to clean it up. >> and if you let them fester, that's when the passive/aggressive, silent treatments, you know, i'm blowing up at you for something that didn't happen now. >> those dirty looks. >> the dirty looks will happen. so hit it now. >> mother/daughter is not like fine wine, they don't get better with time. >> possibly not. >> dr. charles sophy -- >> of course with my three daughters it's wonderful. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. >> and coming up next, mothers and daughters listen to this, the r50i9 makeup for every type of woman and every type of face. coming up right after this. i love cash back. with the bankamericard cash rewards credit card, we earn more cash back for the things we buy most. 1% cash back everywhere, every time. 2% on groceries. 3% on gas. automatically. no hoops to jump through. no annual fee. that's 1% back on... wow! 2% on my homemade lasagna.

bone is. it's higher up. >> you got it. that's where you want to put the eye shadow. what that's going to do when you blend the eye shadow right under that bone, you see how that just really creates that face and opens up the eye and makes you look more awake. >> and you kept the coloring very light and sort of neutral. >> exactly. exactly. >> is that by design as well? >> absolutely. of course you can also do this to kick it up in the evening. you can do it with darker colors. i feel like this is just a really great day look. it complements a beautiful face. >> so eyes and bone structure. >> you got it. >> perfect. >> cheek bones. >> okay let's move over to alicia here. more of the olive based skin tone. >> correct. >> what colors and what kinds of things should she be doing to accentuate what she is given? >> you know, we're breaking it down around here. and when you have an ove skin tone, you know when you're kind of stuck in the winter doldrums you tend to look a little, shall

we say, green, okay? >> washed out. >> i'll say green. >> i can look a little green. >> exactly. so a little bit of blush is always your best friend. use a foundation that will really warm your skin tone. but pink, peachy, coraly blushes are really going to be your friend. so put it right, smile, find the apples of your cheek. i call it the cinnamon bun in the method. little in the middle and blend it up toward the cheek bones. >> cinnamon bun method? i'm hungry. >> she looks great. >> beautiful, healthy and just a gorgeous lifting. >> okay. >> you look great. now over to yameet it's all about choosing the right shade of powder or even in this case it's more of a, i guess, a matte fier. >> it's a clear powder. what that's going to do, especially when you have darker skin tones, even if you're fair, even if you're super nicole kidman fair, translucent powder is the enemy and it really does make us look ashy, makes us look

dry, makes us look older and sits in fine lines. this will matteify your skin and make it look clear. even men can use it. >> if you're really shiny it will cover that up. >> exactly. it will smooth out the skin, make sure you look super, super fresh, poreless. translucent powder yucky, enemy. get rid of it. >> what other tricks are you using? >> use an eye shadow base. something that is really going to make the eye shadow a true color. because for me, when you put colors on especially darker skin tones they tend to get a little muted. so use an eye shadow base it will make it last all day and also it will give you that true color. >> and last but not least we have nina over here. a little bit healthier with bronzer. >> you got it bronzer is your friend, especially the summer months are coming, guys, let's get nice and glowy and healthy. the trick is to use a bronzer that doesn't have shimmer in it. you want to use a matte bronzer because that's going to make you look really natural. >> the right shade, right?

>> exactly. not too orangey. you can use a couple shades deeper than your skin tone. no sparkle or you'll look like an orange disco ball. and lip liner is your friend, as well. if you want your lips to look fuller use a lip liner that matches your lip tone exactly and just fill in, attack the cupid's bow. >> we have got lots of friends in makeup. thank you very much. >> coming up next, summertime favorites with fun food on a stick. >> yum!
