jordan and if the sun sed set deadline is not me. they say they will kill him immediately. in japan, vigils while japanese prime minister shinzo abe responded angrily, saying these lowly acts of terror are something we can fought forgive. speccing to reporters, goto's mother says the prime minister is doing everything he can to bring her son home. as for jordan they have agreed to release an iraqi woman in prison for trying to blow herself up at an amman toelt hotel. they claim they have beheaded the other hostage on saturday after initially demanding a $200 million ransom. the japanese government says they have been in close contact with the jordanian government but won't specify what moves

they may make. right now, japanese journalists are lined up at the turkey border matt even if the prisoner release goes as planned, it is unclear whether goto or the jordanian pilot will be released as well only that they won't be executed. >> thank you very much. closer to home the big story remains the weather, the impact of tuesday's weather across the northeast. we will talk to dylan in a moment. two new systems, really that could bring more snow. >> it's a one-two punch. nobody wants to hear. i hate to be the one to tell you about it. already, look at this we got winter storm warnings up already from maine, freezing rain

adviseradded a -- advisories. it makes its way into the east. so by early tomorrow morning, we got snow here in the northeast. we are looking at maybe one-to-two possibly three inches of snow. it means heavy snow for maine right now. we are talking nine-to-12 inches for maine. if that second low strengthens, we could see some of the heavier snow slip down towards new york city. we are watching that. now, here's the other storm we are watching. sunday morning, this storm developed in texas. it's going to be the one that brings rain into the southwest. the track of the storm still uncertain. you look at the main models the european model. the strak further to the south. it's more of a mid-atlantic-southeastern atlantic coast. the american model, which did better in this last storm, had the trap further to the north. >> that means the heavier snow in the mid-atlantic into the

east. an isles an icy mix. we have to watch. we have a few days out. we will be watching these models closely. first, i forgot. i have to go talk to dylan dwyer. i like being with you guys. i have to see dylan dwyer. she was on the first ferry in nantucket after they got cut off from this big storm. >> reporter: al the last thing everyone wants to hear about right now is more bad weather, considering we are just finishing up digging out from the first storm. so here in nantucket, the quintessential new england town completely cut off and in the dark during the storm is finally getting back up and running. power is restored schools are up and running. the ferries are running. this whole community is ready to move on. a summertime get away nantucket is encased in snow and ice.

>> it started out a plain old winter storm. then it has become an ice storm, then a hurricane, then a flood. >> reporter: much of the space has been reserved for power crews. things are ripping off your house, what is that sounding like as the storm is happening? >> it sounds like a train is coming through your living room. >> reporter: they say people in nantucket stick together during a storm. >> it's such a big community that people tend to almost embrace them. >> you definitely feel like a community thing that you can just go to a neighbor's house rom just look at this, a few photo of what some faced on tuesday, walls of waves crashing ashore. that's the sound of the ocean being chipped away in marshfield nearly everything was doused the water freezing in place. >> the upstairs i think is okay

but the downstairs clear through. >> reporter: high tide smashed through this home sending debris into his face. >> if i got knocked out, i probably would be kill. >> reporter: le survived but his home is an icy ruin. the storm brought into focus by a satellite photo, showing a blanket of snow in the northeast. in portland maine, people on sidewalks are shielded by snow banks. it's taking a toll on snow blowers. business is booming at this machine shop. >> belts are going, people are pushing the machines a little too hard. >> reporter: there is plenty to do with snow ntt forecast perhaps more to come. there is one shoveler who is getting a lot of attention. this boston man was anonymously shoveling and clearing away the snow from the finish line at the boston marathon.

obviously, an important symbol in the wake of the boston bombing. we found him. we will talk to him in a bit. >> i saw that picture online i started to choke up. there is something so wonderful and kind about that gesture. dylan, thank you very much. the fbi is intensifying its search for the person or persons behind a series of threatening tweets aimed at threats in the u.s. mr. bomb threat made in the name of isis that mentioned specific flights him nbc's tom costello is at reagan national airport. good morning. >> reporter: hi matt good morning. what makes it so concerning it's happened so many times in the past two weeks, more than 20 sometimes times since saturday. often they are coming while the plane is still in the air. the radio traffic between the tower and pilots anything but usual. >> this is fbi just doing a check. how's conditions on board? flight deck secured? >> the flight deck is secure.

to the possible credibility of a threat. >> reporter: law enforcement say it's the work of pranksters and copycat, fought terrorists t. penalty if caught up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. the fbi is an leadsing the twitter feeds looking for the foot prints that could lead them to a suspect. >> every time it's creating a little profile. that gives authorities more information so they can make better decisions. >> reporter: for passengers of course it's a huge inconvenience, missed connections, missed appointments but for the airlines we are talking tens of thousands of dollars per flight. this is very expensive. so as you might expect the fbi is being very aggressive on this thank you. meantime there is new concern on that measles traced to disney parks. the number of confirmed cases is now approaching 100. hundreds more are warned to watch for signs of the virus.

reinstated at uva two weeks ago after being shut down in november. reaction to a now discredited "rolling stone" article about an alleged rape at a uva frat house. despite credibility issues with the article the school and students acknowledge the need for a broader discussion about safety and sexual violence. few rules for greek event were created and agreed to as a condition of reinstating sororitys and fraternities and the edict last week from national sorority offices. >> i think it's a huge step backwards if terms of basic women's rights so i was kind of offended. >> a petition was quickly created online. as of wednesday, it had more than 2,100 signatures. instead of addressing rape and sexual assault at uva, it read the mandate perpetuates the idea that women are inferior sexual objects. uva law student claire collins didn't hesitate to add her name. >> i think they set out with the idea of security and safety

foremost in mind. but the way it comes down seems like an extension of victim blaming mentality. >> reporter: in a statement to nbc news the university of virginia said the mandate is quote a matter between the national organizations and their local chapters. while the national conference which represents sororitys but did not issue the mandate, says it supports alternative "options action" on saturday as a matter of safety. an approach that didn't sit well with jalen ross especially in light of the new safety standards his fraternity helped create. >> we are throwing it out and assuming it's as dangerous as he has ever been. >> reporter: now the student count sim has reached out to the national leaders of all 16 sororitys and asked him to come here to campus to have a discussion on friday and hopefully some sort of a resolution the chairman told me he's heard from one of those organizations, but is confident they will hear from more before tomorrow. i do want to update you as well savannah. we just heard further reaction

this morning from the university of virginia. they are now saying they resist any implication uva students are deserving of specialed a uponition saying the students have lived up to our student self govern fans and mentioning standards by all the greek organizations here going on to say, quote, we have confidence to use good judgment be mindful of one another's safety and adhere to the safety practices developed by then. savannah. >> a story that won't go away for uv, a eic are ka thank you very much. let us get a check of the weather from mr. roker. >> that's right. for a lot of folks, they are looking at phoenix with normally gorgeous weather. sunny, dry. fought so this weekend. we've got a developing system that will bring this subtropical moisture into the southwest and as it does we want for this load to develop. it's going to be a slow mover, bringing in that moisture. we are looking for rain and heavy mountain snows beginning friday on into friday morning.

next what a pleasure kevin costner joins us in studio 1a. first, this is "today" on nbc.

. >> we are back now, we are with oscar winner kevin costner. his new movie is called "black or white." he is in a custody battle over his granddaughter. >> i told them you are all welcome to come visit. >> i'm thinking things the way they are, that's the hand we have been dealt. she's been dealt. we need to start talking about a shared custody. >> not going to happen. >> no? >>. like i say, you are all welcome to come visit. >> you don't want her down here do you, elliot down here with the black folks? >> you don't want to start with that? >> we have a little black math tutor, is that going to do it? >> no. >> take care of 245 whole half of her soul. >> what is it with you?

why do you always go there? >> it's that you don't admit there is a there there. >> that is the great octavia spencer, i must be naive about hollywood, i would figure if you pick up the phone and say something to somebody in the producing and directing end, i want to make a movie, the funding for that movie pours in yet you had to work to get the made? >> the phone call will get picked up it is being made. there is nobody that read "black or white" that said it was bad. they said it was great. it didn't fit. i read it because i thought, oh my god, we have a real big secret with this movie. the same thing with "field of dreams." a simple moichl when i readmple a simple movie. when i read it i thought if we pull this off, it could make it. my friend and i paid for it all. i think it has a chance to stand the test of time.

it's certainly an authentic look at where we are in this country with race today. what we wanted to happen did happen. >> the characters confront the issue of race head-on. before i ask you about the story line have you had an experience in your own life a personal experience where you witnessed racism unfolding in front of you, either overtly or suddenly that had an impact? >> i was born in compton, california 1955 i was there for seven, eight years. that word used to be lot. never to somebody's face i never saw it ever used in anger, it was used in words like joke and i'm around that and i hear that extended family. you can use that myself. it's not appropriate and so yeah i've seen it. i never, i've seen other ones for sure. >> in the movie, your character does use the "n" word at one

point. i know there were people in the project that were nervous. they urged you to shoot an alternate version of the screen. you stood your ground. >> there was talk about it. i funded it. there was no way, there is no point in dancing around this subject and the success of the movie is that the words do get said and in a normal break down of an argument you can walk away. people watch a two-hour movie they see this word if they hang another five minutes, something else happens, this movie really ends up being about a lot of things that people i think wish they'd be able to say. >> in the process of being able to go out and promoting this movie, you do a lot of interviews in the last week or so you have been asked about certain subjects and you made your comments about "american sniper" and michael moore. you weighed in on deflate-get a, without going into specific comments people can go online and find that. do you find the older you get

the more opinionated you are or you are willing to share those opinions? >> i think we will hear we will talk about black and white and someone will bring up michael moore or deflate-gate. i would talk about that when it comes to a movie that has a lot of value. as far as the football thing, it has no value to me i can have an opinion about it. michael moore i was point blank asked about it. i didn't say i didn't want to talk about it. i felt from my point of view those comments were wrong. >> what else are you doing for fun? >> well we were right on the ocean. so our background our back yard is the type rolls, they're out in it every day pulling something out of the hose trying to look at it. so my little girl is 4. she decided she's if ballet. i asked her, how she's doing? she said i'm the best. i said okay we're going to work on humble right after that. but, you know i have this movie life and then i have this ought

life. it dominos. >> i have known you a long time. it's nice to see you doing movies like this to be proud of a project. >> you get a chance ever once in a time to stand the test of time and travel and travel beyond it's opening weekend. >> come back soon "black or white" opens tomorrow we will talk to his co-star next on "today." next up our close look at some of the super bowl ads.

bowl i think for many people the ads. this year with you saw 50% of companies releasing or more than 50% releasing their ads online early. does this dilute the impact of the ads during the super bowl? are you thinking advertisers may think lightning may strike twice? >> well it's a bit of a strategy. what was a blowup kwhafls a premier yesterday, premiered it here about 5 million views already. that's a miniscule piece of the audience you bring everyone in everyone be quiet. people see this it's the buzz it can be a big win for marketers who get it right. >> a lot of teasers, skittles and nissan did this rather than releasing the full commercial. do you like this? >> it's interesting, it's halfway. someone put a piece of the commercial out. some saw something. >> i like this marshawn lynch. >> this has nothing to do with the commercial he's known as a big skittles advocate.

he's an endorser of skittles. the irony he will do a skislettles press conference but not a regular one. skittles is getting out there before the big game. we still don't know what that commercial will be. >> a lot less sexy this year what we are seeing. more of that going for the humor and heart strength. we have a funny ad by snicker's. take a look. >> marsha what happened? >> peter hit me in the nose with a football. i can't go in there like this to the dance. >> i'm sure it's an accident. >> an eye for an eye, dad always says. >> i never said that honey. >> shut up i got to teach peter a lesson. >> marsha eat a snicker's, you get hungry when bitter when you are hungry. >> marsha marsha marsha. >> jan, it never is about you.

along. no doubt. they put a lot into the set. here they pushed the envelope. they went for real cutting edge comedy. they have always been out there. comedy is hard sometimes you get it. sometimes you don't. it obviously got something going. i actually say kudos to them for seeing what the -- >> social reaction. >> getting on it saying you know what we will react to that and work with our customers. >> right. got to go. matt miller thanks so much. by the way, can you see all the full commercials right now on today.com. tomorrow a real treat. we will reveal our super bowl ad, what we did.
