with another local update in 25 minutes. >> you can get updates any time you need it at nbc10.com and on the nbc 10 app. thanks for watching. good morning. tough questions, no answers. lufthansa's ceo refuses to address the fact that they knew the copilot of the doomed flight had been severely depressed and conflicting reports of cell phone video taken inside that plane ast crashed. hail on earth. powerful storms hammering the south with hail the size of baseballs in some cities. the threat of more severe weather is ramping up from minnesota to florida today. tirade the police detective pulls a driver over and his rapt caught on tape. >> how long have you been in this country. >> the officer's actions are

under investigation. >> no laughing matter. trevor noah jon stewart's newly named replacement admits his tweets were not funny and asked not to be judged and comedy central said they are standing by him. >>. >> announcer: from nbc news this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning. >> that did not take long for him to find himself in hot water and hoping everybody will move on. >> we hope everybody will talk about that. the new developments on the tragic plane crash in the alps including report that is a video from a cell phone on board exists. katie has the latest on all of

this. good morning to you. >> good morning. new developments and revelations that they found lubitz talking about severe depression talking about his flight school gap. this is the first time they talk about him having severe depression. new alleged video from a passenger's own cell phone perporting to show what it was like inside that plane during the final moments. lufthansa owned by germany discloses that lubitz underwent treatment for severe depression. according to correspondence between the copilot and the flight training school in 2009. lufthansa ceo expressed sorrow for the victims and gratitude to the recovery teams. >> we know how hard this work

has been. sometimes dangerous and how the people climbed up and down the hills and the helicopters. we are very, very impressed and very, very grateful. >> they wouldn't comment on the airline's new medical revelation. >> thank you, thank you so much. >> sir, your employee crashed the plane. why are you refusing to take questions. >> lufthansa maintained he had no medical issues during his employment which they define as after he earned his pilot's license. whether they followed up with mental health is unclear. though the ceo thomas winkleman said mental evaluations are only done when the pilot is hired. >> we would never have imagined that things like can happen. >> in germany, doctors have an obligation to report patient who is they believe are a threat to

others. the question is did anyone really know? >> he must have taken great precautions to hide this. >> meanwhile the tabloids are reporting they viewed a video recovered from the victim's cell phone at the crash sight showing the horrific final moments of the flight. french authorities are calling the tape a fake. more on that video in a little bit. lufthansa said in the past they knew about a flight school break, but they couldn't comment because of medical confidentiality. unsure what they knew and whether or not they followed up appropriately is up for debate but potentially later on in the courts. >> katie, thank you very much. former ntsb investigator is keeping a close eye on the

investigation. good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. >> one of the first pieces of information from andreas lubitz is he took a break in his flight training for undisclosed reasonings. he told the flight school in conjunction with lufthansa he had severe depression. what should the airline have done with that information? >> that should have raised a big red flag to do an evaluation and had a professional evaluation of his mental status and what was the basis for that depression and whether or not he could continue. they can put him on medication to control that but there is an issue of whether or not the medication was legal for him to continue his pilot activity. >> if they decided he could continue and become a pilot, every time a pilot walks into a cockpit, shouldn't he have been

under elevated level of scrutiny than other pilots? >> that's going to be a question by lufthansa. the fact that they admitted they knew this did they put him on an observation program. was he required to check in and have a medical evaluation on a more frequent basis? those will be questions that we don't have answers to. if they knew about this and allowed them to continue in his program and they didn't have any method unfortunately they will have a lot of questions to answer in court as well. >> let me ask you about this other disturbing aspect that has come up this morning and there possibly exists a piece of cell phone video taken by a passenger on that flight in the final moments before it crashed. investigators said this is not true and if the video is out, it's a fake. what's your take on this? is it possible?

>> i'm concerned with this kind of information. we saw it a lot in mh 370 where the information got leaked and proved to be not true a day or week later. the big issue now is i don't believe it's true and of course the government officials who would be the ones that are the repository for information like that said it's not true. i know that people want their 15 minutes of fame and the tabloids and that kind of thing need to build a news media cycle, but this is really detrimental to the families and the credibility of the investigation. >> if it does exist you hope they would have the good taste to never let it see the light of day. >> thanks. deputy editor of paris. thank you for being with us. >> good morning, savannah. >> my first question is a simple

one. are you convinced this video is real and why? >> i'm convinced this is a real check and investigated and we are positive about our source which is close to the investigation team. there is no doubt that what we saw are the final seconds of what happened on board of airbus 320 of germanwings from what i saw on the video. the footage is blurry but the sound is very -- no doubt that the passenger actually knew what was going on inside and knew what was going to happen. >> without revealing the source what is that motivation for presumably getting this piece of evidence and instead of apparently giving it to the authorities, showing it to the reporter. >> i think they showed it in

order to prove the search material. it's a piece that is interesting for the families of course of the victims. it's also very interesting for a number of people that fly today. now the chance that this video actually appears that it was taken out of the rubble is very slim but i can confirm from what we gather and seen, it's true. >> very quickly, have any family members wanted to see this video? >> not yet. not to my knowledge at the moment. i don't think so. >> from paris, thank you for your time. >> we don't have the video. >> right. i understand. thank you for your time. >> a lot of us our shaking our heads. even if that video exists it's

incredibly poor taste for someone to show it to a reporter and it could be painful for the families. >> even if there is investigative value to that it should be seen by about four people total. mr. roker tracking a bad string of storms. >> this is a multiday event on friday with heavy rain and snow as well. they had thunderstorms move through. they are under less of a threat and could fire up later on tonight. colder air behind the system and warm air ahead of it. we are looking for the strong storms from northern oak heem to omaha and parts of southern minnesota. this goes into tomorrow and lthsz rock is looking at the threat of strong storms between southern illinois and columbus ohio and move ahead to friday. look at this. we expect from alexandria

virginia. without looking at tornados but a lot of heavy wind damaging rain and rainfall amounts up to seven inches. we could see flash flooding and behind it denver to the west we could be talking about six to nine inches. not quite done yet, but we will see it warm up as we head on. >> april fool's as a joke. >> that's later. we were up in the vent looking out the window. it was snowing like crazy. >> all right, al. thank you. they are working to modify the religious freedom law that critics say allows discrimination. that is spreading passing a similar measure now. gabe gutierrez is following all these developments. good morning to you. >> good morning. lawmakers are scrambling to clarify their loss ahead of the

final four and another state is facing backlash from the corporate giant. >> this morning the country's latest religious freedom law passed by lawmakers in arkansas is on the way to the governor's desk. >> i know they beat the civil liberties when it comes to religion. >> wal-mart is based in arkansas is asking for a veto saying the bill threatens to undermine the spirit of inclusion present throughout the state of arkansas and does not reflect the values we proud low uphold. >> i don't see this has a thing to do with religious freedom. to me it's just a law to discriminate. >> lawmakers are considering a similar bill in georgia. they say they protect religious freedom and critics say they allow them to deny services to

gays and lesbians. for fierce backlash indiana's governor said he hopes lawmakers will tweet the law declared by 1810. >> this law does not give anyone a license to discriminate. >> indianapolis's republican mayor wants the law repealed unless protections are side added to the law. >> small business owners are worried about the long-term economic impact. >> my greatest concern are sales don't go up each year and they would start to decline. >> they said the men's basketball coast will not travel to indiana for this weekend's final four abiding by the travel ban ordered by connecticut's governor because of the new law. we expect to hear from arkansas's governor and he said he would sign this version of

the bill. >> a rapidly changing story. thank you. >> on to boston and closing arguments for monday at the marathon bombing trial. what proved to be a brief presentation from the defense. pete williams is in boston. even faster than a lot of people expected. >> very brief in fact. the defense put on four witnesses lasting barely five hours. the lawyers concede he took part in the bombing, but insist his older brother was really in charge. an fbi analyst told the jury with all the fragments of the two bombs checked, 500 pieces in all. the only fingerprints found were from his older brother. they were discovered on just two pieces. the backpack that hold the second and a mangled piece of cardboard. two fingerprints were found on

an unexploded tupperware but it had six of his brother's too. the defendant never did take the stand. thap predicted he would not given that his own lawyers said he was involved calling lots of witness including him would have been surprising. >> even if it's on a nuanced topic, i am afraid that the jury might look at it like i thought he said he was guilty and why is he putting on the defense. >> did his wife know anything about the bomb plot? he was questioned about the fbi and never charge and she was not a witness during the trial. her name was barely even mentioned. court is in recess until monday when the lawyers give closing arguments and the jury deliberates. a guilty verdict seems a certainty. a second trial begins on the penalty.

matt? >> in boston covering the trial for us. >> monitoring developments with the nuclear talks with iran. >> the deadline came and went and he is extending his stay to try to hammer out a deal with iran and that midnight deadline passing without an agreement. the chief correspondent remains in switzerland where the talks are being held. any sign of progress? >> some of the minster diagnosis say there has been significant progress overnight. that before the secretary of state john kerry went into a meeting one on one with iran's foreign minster. there still details to be worked out. there disagreements and for the biggest one, it is over sanctions when they would be lifted and how much nuclear fuel and uranium and equipment iran could keep during this agreement and afterwards. that's about ten years from now.

benjamin netanyahu did not wait to see what the details are. he fired a preemptive shot giving a statement saying it would be unconscionable to negotiate a path to a bomb for a murderous regime like iran. president obama was briefed in full along with the vice president and secretary of defense and the security team. they had a video conference from john kerry. it was midnight here when that took place. he has been fully briefed and clearly the white house wants to know what is in this deal. no matter what it is when they come out of the talks, the president knows he will face a lot of criticism for those who concede too too much to iran and too eager to get a deal. there could be a breakthrough later today. >> i know you will be watching it for us again. a major developments in iraq. iraqi forces are raising energies across parts of tikrit

as they move to control most of the city. a general said all government buildings are under iraqi control and that is not confirmed. militants seized them and retaking it would be the biggest win for baghdad's shiite-led government. an update on a story we were following on tuesday. a prisoner who escaped from a hospital has been captured in washington, d.c. they were set aside and wrestled and fled in a hospital sgoun carjacked a vehicle. they searched neighborhoods and caught him after nine hours on the run. new york city police are reviewing a video that shows a police detective berating an uber driver after a traffic accident. a passenger recorded the cell phone rant and he appeared to mock the accent and slammed his car door.

take a look. >> how long have you been in this country. >> almost two years. >> almost how long? two years? the only reason you are not in handcuffs and going to jail is because i have things to do. that's the only reason that's not happening. because this is not important enough. you are not important enough. >> the incident with the uber driver who filed a complaint. it's unclear what led to the hant but it was a dispute with him parking without using his blinker. they did issue that driver a ticket. >> who are is saying google maps is only good for getting directions. now you can turn just about any neighborhood into a pacman course. the coasts are gobbling from broadway to main street. pull up goobl maps and type in any address and click on the pacman icon on the lower left of

the screen. if you are looking to go somewhere, probably not a good thing to do. some cities are available on the mobile version. >> thank you, goggle. >> making life more enjoyable. pacman 35. makes us feel old. >> remember when it was the new video game? i do. >> i remember asteroids. >> water, we take our showers with it. we make our coffee with it. but we rarely tap its true potential and just let it be itself. flowing freely into clean lakes - clear streams - and along more fresh water coast line than any other state in the country. come realize water's true potential. dive in - to the waters of pure michigan. your trip begins at michigan.org. good morning, i'm meteorologist bill henley.

a chilly start but we'll see lots of sunshine today. afternoon temperatures will climb into the 50s with a chilly breeze blowing. and a cold start tomorrow morning, but tomorrow afternoon sunshine. 66 degrees. looks like we'll head up to 70 degrees tomorrow in spite of rain. the last rain showers ending saturday morning and a breeze will clear us out in the afternoon. easter sunday, up to 58 degrees. mild for the phillies home opener. have a great day. . >> a discussion on what happened with people talking about the pilot. >> that's right. it raised important questions and we are asking you should pilots surrender medical records? you can head to the website to weigh in. let's go into the newsroom. they have it thinking quite differently about air travel and skeptical at of the pilots flying our planes. there is a letter that has gone

viral written by a passenger whose name is bethany and she hand delivered it to the pilots. inside the letter she wrote, in light of the very recent tragedy in the french alps and the loss of the poor 150 people i feel the need to extend a compassionate hand. i understand an event so horrific as this one affects your responsibility and thank you for taking me home safely. >> such an amazing thing for someone to go out of their way to show comfort. if you would like to read it it's wonderful. >> i'm sure that was wildly appreciated by the crew. >> i was looking at the the pilots they have such a difficult job and it's terrible that such a horrific event that people are looking at them and wondering. >> coming up funny or offensive. how the new host of the daily show is responding to the

backlash over some of his old tweets. >> a vacation under cover. our team sets sail on a cruise and we are swabbing for germs. why you may not look at the buffet spread the same again. first, this is "today" on nbc.

good morning, i'm vai sikahema. it is hump day, april 1st. let's go to bill henley with the forecast. bill? it should be warmer this time of the year. you'll need your sunglasses but you also need a warm coat with temperatures dropping down. a live view of center city 35 degrees in philadelphia. but look at readings below freezing. chester springs, horsham, trenton, all below freezing with wrightstown at 31. 31 in allentown. 37 in doylestown. you may see icy spots, nothing everything dried up after yesterday's rainfall. it's below freezing in vineland

atlantic city and woodbine. thank you, vai. everybody is stacked up on girard avenue moving along slowly. the northbound side is moving fine. 36 minutes is your drive time from woodhaven road to the vine street expressway. the blue route from the vine will take you 17 minutes. and 15 minutes on 422 in montgomery county. vai? the investigation continues this morning into the deaths of a montgomery county couple found with wounds on their bodies that authorities say came from a chainsaw. the autopsies will be done on the couple today, which could shed more light on what exactly happened inside this lower moreland home yesterday afternoon. according to investigator, one of their sons found the bodies of the chainsaw next to them. they are not looking for any suspects at this time. we'll have more news coming up in another half hour. we'll send you back to the "today" show. i'm vai sikahema. see you then.

7:30 on this april 1st 2015. the rossen hospital's team is on it and they are going on a cruise and swabbing for germs. wait until you see what they reveal when they hit the high seas with their q-tips. we will tell you about the spot that tested 20 times over the germ limit. >> la la la la la. i can't hear that. let's take a look at what's making headlines. officials from both lufthansa and germanwings visit the site of the plane crash vowing to give the families as much help as they need and said the investigation into the crash

will take a long time. >> los angeles police are investigating the untimely death of oil heir andrew getty. he was found in his home on tuesday. the coroner's office said the cause of death appears to be natural or accidental but an official announcement will take weeks. >> next monday at the trial of the accused boston bomber after calling only four witnesses. >> comedy central is defending the decision to name trevor noah as the next host of the daily show. the south african comedian is under fire for offensive tweets. craig melvin has the latest on all of this. what can you tell us? >> less than 24 hours, noah went from being the celebrated successor to being sexist and anti-semite. some are so controversial we

can't show you this morning. it prompted an apology from his bosses and him himself. >> you dominate in military power, economics, obesity. >> he has not started yet, but already some of the fans are not laughing. >> oh, yeah right. yeah. i got you. >> a few hours after landing the job, some started sifting through his roughly 9,000 tweets and came across eyebrow raising posts like behind every successful rap billionaire is a double rich jewish fan. they said they went down on one knee so if they said no, they were in the perfect upper cut position. many can call him a sexist and anti-semite prompting him to respond with a new tweet.

it's not a true reflection of my character or evolution as a comedian. they issued a statement saying like many comedians, trevor noah pushes boundaries and provocative and spares no one, himself included. that has been tested a lot recently. monday nights justin bieber's roast. >> all these rappers on stage and martha stewart has done the most jail time. >> he is doing a his and her duet all by himself. >> earlier this year an snl skit that drew just as many gasps as laughs. >> you be careful. >> dad it's just isis. >> go back and watch one episode of all in the family and you will see if comedy is getting meaner. are we becoming more sensitive? that's the deal. is that a good or bad thing?

i don't know. i'm still going to tell my jokes. >> snl cast responded and criticism is saying freedom to mock is the greatest weapon. there things we can all have offensive. >> you know what it feels like. >> it depends on the audience. >> controversial is not always funny. any of these comeetians they have been pate to push the limits and may go over the line. >> richard pryor has been doing twitter. >> yeah. thank you. >> let us take a check of the weather from al.

let's look at what will change today. way out warm out west and now the jet flattens out a bit. we have more of a ridge in the mid-section and the temperatures omaha is 83 degrees. memphis is 79 and jackson is 82. lexing is 87. chicago at 64. louisville and atlanta is 77. today we are below normal and buffalo, syracuse and boston. look at the warm air that makes its a in on thursday. syracuse is 64. washington, d.c. is 10 degrees above average to 72 degrees. does it last? no but good morning i'm meteorologist bill henley. a chilly start, but we'll see lots of sunshine today. afternoon temperatures will climb into the 50s. but a chilly breeze blowing. and a cold start tomorrow

morning, but tomorrow afternoon sunshine. 66 degrees. looks like we'll head up to 70 degrees on friday in spite of rain. the last rain showers ending saturday morning and a breeze will clear us out in the afternoon. easter sunday, up to 58 degrees. mild for the phillies home opener. have a great day. >> with the weather channel on weather.com. >> thanks. you wasting your team taking acetominophen for different conditions. if you are among the millions suffering from back pain. >> the pool the buffet the casino. the rossen report team reveal the dirtiest

tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. you may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost.
