south and al roker is here. what can you tell us? >> this is a changeable situation. let's look at what happens in kansas. this tornado not hitting the ground but it showing you the power of this system. in louisville this is where the danger spot it. massive flooding. high water rescues and apartment complexes that are being evacuated as we speak. i-65 has been shut down and they are evacuating. it is a mess and we look at the pictures coming in. it's pretty impressive and streets turning into rivers. the system is sitting on top. let's go to the radar to show you what's going on. heavy rainfall in the last two or three hours. we are talking about 4 1/2, almost five inches of rain falling throughout the area and it continues.

tornado watches for northern arkansas and southern missouri. severe thunderstorm watches. flash flood warnings and watches in effect through the entire area all along this front. the rain is going to continue. you can see the watches and warnings throughout louisville. we will be watching this. we have the risk of severe weather and enhanced risk from jackson, huntsville and lexington. flood watches and warnings and about one to three inches of rain and as it moves to the east the heavy rain continuing and on the back side anywhere from to five inches of snow in upstate new york and northern new england. it calms down by easter sunday but the next 24 hours will be very, very difficult. >> we will be watching it. another big story this morning. how this landmark deal is being received this morning.

not only in washington but around the world. the president insisted this is a good deal but it may proof to be a very tough sell. peter alexander, good morning to you. >> reporter: here at the white house they call it unprecedented, but the republicans and the israeli prime minister clearly not on board. benjamin netanyahu blasting the framework saying it threatens the survival of israel. with the moment now in reach. >> it is a good deal. a deal that meets our core objectives. >> president obama must now fend off republican critics already attacks his iran framework. >> there is no deal with iran. there is a list of very danger obsessions that put iran on the path. >> tom cotton spearheaded that controversial letter last month opposing a deal. >> if congress killings this deal not based on expert

analysis and without offering a reasonable alternative, it's the united states that will be flamed for the failure of diplomacy. >> it would block every pathway for iran to build a bomb and put controls over disposing of nuclear fuel. it calls for strict un inspections and in return they will lift punishing sanctions and threatening they will be put back in place if iran cheats. >> we have extraordinary expensive verification measures that have not been applied before. we will have state-of-the-art television cameras within production facilities. >> the foreign minster call period a win-win out come. >> when we implement measures there will be no sanctions. >> regular iranians took to twitter posted selfies after iran's state run tv took the

step of showing a u.s. president's remarks live and unsensored. the clock starts again. the deadline is june 30 for a final agreement. this is complicated stuff as an expert said think of it as honey i shrink the program. the president himself conceded nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to. >> as is so often the case. chuck todd is moderator of "meet the press." good morning. a lot of people were surprised this deal happened at all, but also that it had as many specifics as it seems to. >> not only that it was better than what it was leading to. that's something of a relief to the administration. they got iran to concede to things. there was concern that the sanctions would get lifted before there would be verification. that wasn't the case. one of the things that is benefiting early on is that this

deal is being announced while congress is not in town. they are all in recess for the holiday and it gives time to sell it without push back. >> i don't know if you agree, but it seemed to me in a way as controversial as the deal is the criticism was somewhat muted. you don't see people falling all over to get on tv or issue these dueling press releases and that kind of thing. are people holding their fire. >> the good friday press strategy. they are not in town. i think some will hold their fire. they want to see how it will play out and see the details. the plan has more details. there is two and a half months before you have the signed and sealed part of the deal. the timing of the announcement is beneficial because so many of the members are out of town. >> the president has to sell it. can congress scuttle the deal as a practical matter? >> they can easily.

you have a lot of skeptical democrats including the incoming highest ranking democrat chuck schumer. he put out a two-page statement who said i will review the details of the agreement. that was not a supportive comment. it's possible to kill the deal. the president can veto an attempt, but there enough democrats to override a veto. the next two and a half months will be critical. >> it's just getting started. we will see you sunday on "meet the press." >> off the coast of north carolina a man missing at sea for 66 days found alive in his damaged sail boat 200 miles from shore. in norfolk, virginia where he sat down with that man and his family. >> louis jordan was missing for two months forced to survive by rationing his food and eating

whatever sea life he could and grabbing any rain water he could. he was cold and wet, but early this morning he walked out of sentara hospital. one man in a small boat in a very big ocean. after 66 days lost at sea, he walked into a norfolk hospital on thursday to an emotional reunion his father after 66 days at sea. >> for seemed like a lot longer. >> friends knew he had gone sailing on his 35 foot sail boat and no one heard from him for two months and his parents were frantic. >> what were the last two months like? >> terrible. moment to moment and the moments turn into days. >> had you given up hope? >> many times. >> no one knew that lewis had drifted out into the atlantic. his boat capsized three times.

>> i was flying through the air somersaulting and everything was upside down and backwards. >> he rationed his food and ate raw fish capturing rain water to survive. an incredible stroke of luck. his small sail boat was spotted. a massive german container ship 200 miles off the coast. >> i was standing up there waving my arms and they turned that huge skyscraper around. >> a chopper lifted him from the deck flying him back to norfolk. lou sis thinner and shaggier but happy to be home. you ever going to sail again. >> i really don't know. >> will you ever let him get on the boat again? >> i don't know. not in the ocean. >> you can't blame him.

i asked how did you spend the two months on the ocean. he said he read the bible over and over cover to cover. he came away a very inspirit and spiritual person. if you are on the ocean for two months what kind of food would you miss? i asked him that and he said barbecue and organic ice cream. >> definitely not fish. >> good taste. >> that's an amazing story. thanks so much. new information this morning as we continue to follow that doomed germanwings flight that crashed in the alps. they are studying the data recorder and getting disturbing information. let's go to katy on the story. what have they found? >> reporter: good morning, savannah. lubitz only allegedly crashed the plane, but the evidence is mounting against him. according to what officials have released releasing just this morning that they believe he manipulated the auto pilot,

forcing the plane to descend and repeatedly changeing it to pick up speed. as flight 9525 dove through the sky, french investigators say andreas lubitz accelerated, pushing the plane faster and faster heardtowards the mountain side while the cockpit voice recorder captured the metallic bangs of the captain trying to get in and the passengers. they found the box in a ravine so badly burned the normally orange casing was black. in dusseldorf they revealed more details of what they found on his personal tablet computer. between march 16th and march 23rd, he studied medical treatments and ways of committing suicide and cockpit doors and their security measures.

inside the second black box and the computer evidence of how he did it but why is still a mystery. french officials say they have been able to collect dna for 150 victims. 149 victims potentially. they have not matched it with family members so no positive ids and they won't return any of the bodies to the families until the investigation is complete. savannah. >> a reminder of the awful human toll. >> natalie has the latest on the brutal terror attack in africa. >> we are now hearing chilling accounts from survivors of the brutal massacre on the college campus in kenya. in all, 151 people died most were students. the chief global correspondents are in nairobi. good morning. >> it's a terrible story to bring you this good friday

morning. religious intolerance so extreme it leads to mass murder. 151 dead and most are in their late teens and early 20s. most christian singled out by extremeist gunmen. >> a massacre without mercy. at least four in suicide vests targeting a college campus before dawn. they attacked students in dormitories. the gunmen asked their religion. if you were christian, you were shot on the spot. it took troops hours to corner the gunmen and they believe they killed them all. it's near the somali border. the gunmen from the al shabaab group that massacred 67 people at a shopping mall two years ago. >> this is a warning to be vigilant as we confront and

defeat our enemies. >> kenya's president was visibly shaken his country is too, braced for more. >> this could be a prelude to other attacks, mostly in nairobi or ethiopia and against westerners. >> students had been airlifted to the hospitals in the capital. hundreds more were traumatized on the deadliest attack on a university. kenya a frontline state on the battle with islamists. >> one aim of the al qaeda-linked gunman was to pull apart kenya's religions. part christian and part muslim. they are pulling together on social media. #one kenya is trending. >> thank you, bill. two new york city women are in jail accused of plotting to set

off bomb attacks here in the u.s. both american citizens appeared in court thursday. the fbi said they acquired three propane tanks and a pressure cooker and researched how to make bombs. no actual explosives were found and there was not a specific plot. france is joining the movement against anorexia in the fashion industry. they banned anorexic-looking models from the runway. they threaten to fine and possibly jail modelling agents and fashion houses who hire them. italy, spain, and israel have similar laws. a hilarious moment on the price is right. it may be a new classic. a contestant named andrea had three chances to pick the correct price of a hyundai and if she did, she would win the car. >> which one is it?

>> 19,849. >> go ahead. no. congratulations. manuela just gave you a car. >> she jumped the gun before she made the second-guess. she saw the model revealing the price. she gets to keep the car. manuela is not in trouble. she tweeted out it's the most expensive gift i have given someone. yes. there you go. the perfect team. >> that's a classic. >> what went wrong there? >> she went right for it. >> al what do we have going on? >> the rest of the country, we are looking at snow showers across the northeast later today

here. it could be somebody who is evil who had something else in mind. >> wayne kyle doesn't have much regard for how the film portrayed his other son who served in iraq. >> it was an absolute disgrace. they portrayed jeff as a weak almost cowardly marine just wanting to get out of country in any way possible. that couldn't be further from the truth in the way jeff was. is. >> the film also stirred up a debate over kyle himself. he spoke about his critics when we chatted a year before his death. >> i mean i have already heard it. i'm a murderer and a child killer. i'm not trying to win everybody over. i want to be an advocate for the vets. >> celebrities got caught in the back and forth over whether chris was a hero.

not caused by a heart valve problem. hey, well i'm glad we got together. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. tell me about it. let's see, golf clinic, or blood clinic? ooh, that's a tough one. not this time. not with xarelto®. anything else? i'll have another arnold palmer. ok. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have

an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. 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. >> 7 time 41 with rossen reports. vacation under cover, how safe are your children when they swim in cruise ship pools? more from jeff. >> good morning to you. the cruise industry markets itself as family friendly fun for all and the pools and water slides are packed with kids.

did you know most of the major cruise lines don't have a single lifeguard on board? for some families these dream vacations have turned into nightmares. >> fun in the sun on the high seas. picturesque pools and a frenzy of activity for kids. 1.5 million children cruising every year. but where are the lifeguards? there aren't any on three of the biggest cruise lines. royal caribbean, norwegian and carnival. kids have gone under. half a dozen children in the past two years. >> we turned our heads for a moment and our son was gone. >> this 4-year-old barely survived. pulled unconscious from the pool aboard royal caribbean's oasis of the seas. >> his recovery is a miracle. >> thanks to the ship's crew

no. a passenger jumped in. once again it was passenger who is rescued this boy, chase, when he nearly drowned, falling into the donald pool aboard disney's fantasy cruise ship. >> i sat there and i prayed to god to please give me my son back. >> chase suffered major brain damage. other kids don't survive. like kwept in hunter a 6-year-old with a contagious smile. >> to be in perfect health nothing wrong, and all of a sudden he is there and there is nothing i can do. nothing. >> quentin drowned in the main pool aboard the carnival victory and once again, no lifeguard around. on these cruises, they often have over 1,000 crew members per cruise serving food drinks but no lifeguards. >> no lifeguards.

>> we wondered if anything has changed and boarded the very same ship. >> i have been hanging around all days and we have been walking five feet with an employee delivering food, drinks and towels but no employee watches the pool. >> that's right, a year and a half later, still no lifeguards. >> it boils down to one question. how many kids have to die? >> this attorney rep accepteds the family of the latest victim. >> why don't the cruise lines add lifeguards? >> because there is such a smul number on board. they want the passengers and not the crew members. >> safety is a priority and as with the majority of land-based resorts, many cruise lines provide clear and conspicuous sign that is a lifeguard is not

present. but quentin's parents say a sign is not enough. >> what is your message to families watching about to go on a cruise. >> if they don't have lifeguards get your money back. they are not looking out for us. they are looking out for their pocks and it's not fair. >> the cruise industry tells us they are reviewing the need for further action possibly including more sup at the pools. disney has already taken action putting lifeguards on all their ships. in late 2013 after that 4-year-old nearly drowned. if one cruise line can do it, why can't the rest? whether you are at a hotel or a cruise pool watch your children too. that helps. >> that's an insanely popular job for young people to want to do it. >> a lot of people on the ships too. >> coming up next whose side are you on?

>> this is fascinating to an awful lot of people who it's broken up marriages, people have been disowned. >> why do you think it worked for your family? >> i think we've really come to a turning point with this where more and more families feel they can do this successfully. clergy are beginning to understand that these are families that want to do religion. they're not disengaging but they want to keep both traditions in the family around that can be a beautiful thing. >> in judaism and christianity they're similar. but what if your faith is muslim and christian. >> any combination can work. there are ben if its to each combination and there are challenges to each combination. >> i think it is interesting from the kid's perspective. sometimes people want to know what are you. people like to be identified by something. for you, was it easy or difficult -- what do you say, ben? what do you say your faith is or

do you say you're both? >> yeah i mean there are definitely times people say, oh well you can't be both. or is your mother jewish? that's the only way you could be jewish. but i think from an early age my parents instilled in me confidence in claiming both and saying, you know i'm not 50%-50%. i'm just jewish and christian. >> hanna, what about for you? you didn't have -- you're raised catholic and jewish together. right? >> yes. >> how do you identify? >> well when people ask me i just kind of respond oh i'm interfaith. it is almost the same common response as saying i'm christian, i'm jewish. no one really bats anny any nieye anymore. >> many are much more accepting. >> did you and your husband discuss this before kids? >> yes. we were very lucky that both families really supported us in getting plaerd ingting married. we never had a problem, you know, you have to raise your children one way or the other. so it stemmed from our families

being accepting of both of us. it's been pretty gradual. we found an interfaith community which is an organization. we do school our children. they go to sunday school every other week. they'll do christian lesson then a jewish lesson. >> i think it is fantastic. >> they -- this weekend you will be celebrating? >> friday is tough because it is good friday. we make pizza in our house. i can't eat meat. my husband will be the only jewish person sunday out of 20 people at our house. >> that's really fascinating. anybody out of your relatives -- you can't imagine every single relative embracing it. what did you say to relatives on the fence -- >> or friends. they can be the worst. >> yeah. what did you guys do? >> i think because my parents got intermarried they were an interfit couple that were really pioneers. they got married in 1960. >> were they hippies? >> no. this is before hippies. they were a product of the '50s

really. but they had more challenge back in that era. but now in my generation, my parents couldn't really argue because they did it themselves. so -- >> how about you guys and your family? >> nothing. nothing. i never had one issue. it has been a complete dream. very easy life for us. >> i think once the husband and the wife both agree and you come to that understanding, i think it is great. you talked about it obviously before you guys got married as well. >> oh yes. for us my children only had one jewish grandparent, but it was important to me that they feel that connection to judaism and that they have those connections and really study hebrew. >> it's one love story, old testament and new testament. happy passover happy easter. you're going to be very busy and very full by the end of the weekend. if you haven't bought or made an easter basket for your kids, you'd better hop to it little bunnies! >> we'll show you some baskets that every bunny will love.
