239 passengers and crew aboard. overnight we learned that the battery used to help find one of the plane's black boxes was dead for more than a year before the jet vanished. nbc's kelly cobeilla has more. >> reporter: one of the plane's emergency black boxes may not have been sending out the signal because of a dead battery. the battery in the emergency beacon should have been replaced in december 2012 more than a year before that flight took off. the report blames a glitch in maintenance records. that expired battery may have made it tougher to find malaysia airlines flight 370. search crews are still scanning the southern indian ocean for the wreckage. no sign as yet. the battery in the second black box was up to date. its beacon should have been working, and both black boxes still should have recorded data. another interesting note in that

report along with the 239 passengers and crew on board, the report says the flight was carrying close to 500 pounds of lithium ion batteries, cargo that never went through security screening. the report however, sheds no new light on why the plane went down or where the wreckage might be. craig? >> thank you, kelly. meantime in wisconsin, emotions are running high again today after police shot and killed an unarmed black teen. nbc's anne thompson joins us this morning with the very latest on that story. >> good morning. erica. wisconsin authorities want to avoid the massive and sometimes violent protests that we saw in ferguson and new york as they try to keep the state capital calm in the wake of this weekend's police shooting. protesters took to the streets in madison, wisconsin. >> black lives matter! black lives matter! >> reporter: after friday night's police shooting of at

>> reporter: people will be back out here again today to cross the edmund pettus bridge one final tribute to bloody sunday. it comes after an emotional commemoration yesterday that drew two presidents. civil rights leaders. and 40,000 people from all across the country. a poignant moment as the nation's first african-american president crossed the edmund pettus bridge walking in the footsteps of those who paved the way for him. >> we gather here to honor the courage of ordinary americans willing to endure billy clubs and the chase entening rod. >> reporter: memories of that day are still fresh for those who were on the front lines, including congressman john lewis. >> this city on the banks of the alabama river, gave way to a movement that changed life forever. >> they started wading into our

yesterday. they were calling for reforms to law enforcement in the wake of ferguson. but overall, yesterday was a day of national unity. craig? >> kristin welker for us this morning in selma, alabama. thank you. president obama speaking out this weekend about that e-mail scandal surrounding hillary clinton. take a listen. >> hillary clinton is and has been an outstanding public servant. she was a great secretary of state for me. the policy of my administration is to encourage transparency. >> chuck todd is moderator of "meet the press" and joins us this morning. chuck, good morning. >> good morning, erica. >> so the president was asked aboue e-mails there. he addressed the situation. hillary clinton was at a clinton global initiative event over the weekend and did not address the e-mails at all. as we hear this though and you see what the president said how is it that someone is secretary of state for four years and no one notices that she's using a different private e-mail not a government issued e-mail. has that been tackled in washington at this point? >> you know and i actually talked to a whole bunch of obama officials from that first year

in 2009. i asked them did you guys get any heads up? did you know she was setting up a private e-mail system? this is not about a private e-mail account. that's what people need to realize. this is not about having a yahoo.com or e-mail account. they set up an entire private e-mail system. it appears to be the only motivation is to control the disclosure process. so they followed the letter of the law, but did they follow the spirit. what i found re in that comment by president obama, that was not exactly a whole defense of what secretary clinton did. he was basically saying while i'm going to praise her time here i'm glad she's disclosing everything she's doing, but notice he didn't judge the decision to have this private e-mail server which i am convinced that, had they asked for permission for it it wouldn't have been granted by the obama administration. >> so then moving forward, how does this affect potential presidential aspirations? >> well look.

i think it doesn't really hurt that much among democrats. with the clintons some of this stuff is built in with democrats. they've had transparently issues for decades and it's not something that is impacted their popularity over the years, though i could argue candidate obama used it effectively to defeat hillary clinton back in '07. but where this has an impact erica, is that republicans on capitol hill feel vipd katedndicated. they'll keep going. these investigas will be active and i think it will be a thorn in her side all through until november of 2016. >> may just shall the very beginning, chuck. thanks. we'll look for more of your conversation about the 50th anniversary of bloody. sunday with congressman john lewis coming up on "meet the press." upn "today," we're talking a baby boom in china. the best possible kind of baby boom ever because, yes, we have pandas for you. yeah. lots of cuteness. i know you missed an hour of sleep. we're making up for it with cute before earning enough cash back from bank of america to help pay for her

the numbers in the wild -- >> we are feeling very happy because the number increase about 16%. >> reporter: researchers spent three years counting pandas trekking through 12 million acres of mountainous forest collecting evidence and concluding that 1,864 pandas remain in the wild. there are also a record 375 in captive breeding programs. among them this famous trio. the world's only known surviving panda triplets born last summer. i got to meet the adorable cubs when they were just 2 months old. he looks pretty contented. this breeding center in the mountains is home to 18 young pandas. where we joined them for an afternoon snack. most of the pandas in this kindergarten area are between 1 and 1 1/2 years old and they have an anor mussenormous appetite.

experts hope they'll further be able to boost the population buy releasing cautiously some of those released in captivity. >> step by step. slowly and slowly. >> reporter: while the news is mostly good experts are stepping up protections against a new virus that's killed more than four pandas in china and prompted an emergency meeting in beijing this coming week. experts say there is now in china an unprecedented level of public support for conservation. for an iconic animal which while not out of danger may well have turned an important corner. for "today," ian williams nbc news china. >> pretty cute right? >> yeah. >> who doesn't love a panda. maybe you are over pandas right? we acknowledge people out there might be getting over selfies. we'll turn that all around this morning. here is perhaps an exception to cute animals and cute selfies. they go together really beautiful. >> these are selfies with a marsupial found in parts of

consumer," customer loyalty cards. more people than ever are using these things getting deep discounts on different products inside the stores. but are the savings that you are getting worth the information that you are giving? ? sheinelle is back with that story. >> i'm glad you asked. let's talk about it. if i asked you to look in your wallet or pull out your keychain and show me some of your loyalty cards, you may have plenty of them. loyalty memberships in had the u.s. topped 2.6 billion. companies love them because they usually bring in customers around usually get them to buy more. but how much are they worth it to you? whether it is building up points having your card punched, or getting dollars off at the supermarket or pharmacy who doesn't like a good reward? >> you just get excited if if you just got any money knocked off in the end. it is a little bonus. >> reporter: that's just what customer loyalty cards promise. >> you get access to special sales. you accumulate points which ultimately can sometimes give you cash back. you might get a free gift on your birthday.

rewards cards save consumers millions of dollars each year. but the retailers do benefit, especially when the reward card is connected to a store credit card. >> there's interest on that credit card. sometimes these stores will charge you 22% or even more. so that's a lot. and if you're not the type of person who pay off your balance every month, the interest you pay can really negate all of the savings that you've accumulated. sometimes points expire so you may rack up all these points then lose them. >> reporter: but does that bother this family with five children? >> we should but we don't. i don't worry about it. >> if you have five kids every penny counts. >> every penny counts yes. >> reporter: so a lot of people we talk about admit they often buy things they normally wouldn't buy just because they have a coupon for it. guilty of that. or they buy something they don't need because you can get a second one for 50% off. it seems like even though these stores may track your habits or there are fears that they'll raise the prices of the items you love in the long run, most people we talk with still like the immediate gratification of

saving a buck. it is a fascinating thing. >> wow. are there apps that help? >> that's the thing. these days with the apps there are two apps i've talked to people about they seem to like. key ring is one of them. you take the card that you have and you can scan it and put it in your phone. that way you aren't walking around with a wallet full of cards. >> they're just in one app. >> another one, card star. a lot of our colleagues have it you walk in and now here is the thing. you have to allow the tracking on your phone. location services. so if you're worried about your privacy, you can turn that off in your settings. >> that one, you walk into the store and it will pop, say, your drugstore card up on your phone, say, oh i think you need this now. >> you can scan it and get savings. which one do you want? you want to save a buck or worried about your privacy? >> just shop online. dylan is over in the orange room with today's "plaza fan of the day." >> we've got about 100 people
