secretary-general watched. the president's d to normalize relations with cuba is huge with implications. last night's conversation was nothing substantive, but later today, they will get down to business. likely on the agenda, president obama's expected decision to take cuba off the list of state sponsor of terror. white house officials have acknowledged the way forward is challenging. here in panama, there have been vocal and violent encounter was demonstrators, many from miami. they believe the president's move gives legitimately to an oppressive government. president obama said it to castro as well and publicly that he is concerned about human rights. he has spoken to leaders of the opposition. he has also said 50 years of non engagement hasn't worked. when the meeting takes place

later today, it will help define the legacy of the presidents. erica. >> we will watch that along with you. chris, thanks. to the devastates scene in illinois where the clean up will take months if not years. survivors picking up the pieces this morning. nbc's kevin tibbles is there for us. kevin, good morning. >> reporter: peter, this is all that is left of the popular restaurant where diners saw the tornado coming. they took shelter in the hall basement here and they were rescued an hour later. a dozen or so lives saved because of the warning. just down the road in fairdale too small for a warning system they weren't so lucky. it was what meteorologists call an ef-4. a tornado packing sustained winds up to 200 miles an hour. >> he's over. >> reporter: buildings in fairdale illinois did not stand

a chance. >> we are here this afternoon to offer condolences and console the families with devastating loss. to offer our prayers to the two families who lost loved ones. >> reporter: it was here that so far two bodies both of women in their 60s, have been discovered in the wreckage. just a few miles away in rochelle illinois grub stakers was a popular spot to grab a bite. it trapped a dozen people under the collapsed roof. >> they heard the wind howling and the roof lifted off and flew away. the house collapsed on top of them. >> reporter: cousins tad and jennifer salvageing what they can can. >> we are trying to find family memories. >> reporter: tearing apart precious lives and businesses

took a few seconds. rebuilding will take longer. and today, residents and only residents will be escorted by police back to their homes or what is left to them to assess the damage and begin the clean up. peter. >> kevin, thank you. such an awful scene. dylan, is this past? >> this round of tornado outbreak is over for now. over for the weekend. we are just getting started in the tornado season. april is off to a slow start. we really peak with the number of tornadoes in may. 270 tornadoes on average. as we saw with the damage in illinois it only takes one. unfortunately, we are in the season where the outbreaks are possible every day. just not this weekend. dylan, thanks. the man who was shot and killed by a police officer in south carolina will be laid to rest this morning. it has been an emotional week for walter scott's family. they have so many questions of how it happened and what happened.

nbc's mark potter is in south carolina this morning. mark good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. walter scott's funeral will be held in the church behind me in summerville, south carolina. it has been a week since the shooting where many questions remain unanswered. >> now we need to come together as a community remembering walter scott. >> reporter: at the city hall a somber vigil friday night for 50-year-old walter scott. with members of the group black lives matter and others demanding an end to senseless killing. >> i stand here because we're tight. enough is enough. >> reporter: on the day of scott's funeral, there are questions about why the shooting occurred and why as seen on the dash cam video, he bolted from a car and ran away after a traffic stop by officer michael slager. documents showed scott owed $18,000 in child support going back years. his father suggested that is the

reason he ran from the officer. >> dehe did not want to go to jail. he has been there before. child support. >> reporter: the biggest question is what happened when officer slager caught up with scott and a scuffle occurred. a police incident report shows slager fired his taser and called dispatch requesting back up. >> shots fired. subject down. he grabbed my taser. >> reporter: the cell phone video shows scott running away and the officer shooting him in the back. on tuesday, slager was arrested and charged with murder. meantime 23-year-old feidin santana who shot the cell phone video has an emotional meeting with the scott family. >> thank you, god. >> reporter: the family insists if he hadn't come forward, justice might never have been done. >> god put me there for a reason. i'm a believer of god. i was there for a reason.

>> reporter: and meantime state agents say they have questioned the man who was in the car with scott when he took off running. there is no word yet whether he shed any new light on what happened here and why. erica. >> mark potter this morning, thank you. hillary clinton is expected to announce tomorrow that she is officially running for president in 2016. this will be her second run, of course for the white house. her campaign is expected to be vastly different than the last time around. nbc's kristen welker is outside clinton's campaign headquarters in brooklyn. kristen, good morning. >> reporter: peter, good morning. hillary clinton makes it official tomorrow. things are already gearing up at campaign headquarters here in brooklyn. bustling with newly hired staffers including some from the obama administration. this is clinton 2.0. a retooled campaign that could once again makes history. >> i'm back. >> reporter: after all the talk

hillary clinton is ready to launch. leaving behind the big rally from '08. she will take to twitter with a listening tour and vfw halls of iowa and new hampshire. clinton starts ahead in the polls, but this time up close and personal with voters. >> i don't see it as a rebranding. it is her getting closer to roots and presenting authentic self. >> reporter: she is expected to play the rule of mother and grandmother. she said there is a fundamental challenge of having our first woman president, whenever that is will resolve. hillary clinton will emphasize as former secretary of state and senator. >> hillary clinton is well known for the beyonce level well known in this country or around the world. what is less well known is her record. >> reporter: republicans are out with a new online attack ad.

>> hillary clinton has explaining to do. >> reporter: at an nra event on friday, they took shots at hillary clinton as secretary of state. >> we had good news for hillary. had their fire hire the head of e-mail security. >> reporter: so as she answers difficult questions about her past clinton will try to convince voters she has the right vision for the future. now polls show clinton is trouncing her democratic rivals but things get difficult in the general election. her first stop iowa next week. peter. >> kristen, thank you very much. robert gibbs is the nbc political analyst and former white house press secretary under probama. robert good morning. >> good morning, peter. >> let's turn back the clock to seven years at this time.

you were then working for senator barack obama. what does she need to do differently? >> she talked about it. going into the living rooms and vfws and smaller halls. i think voters will want to see candidates earn this nomination the old fashion way. that is going out there and talking and meeting voters. not the big rallies. that is what she is set to do. >> you talk about the democratic primary. she is the overwhelming favorite. i guess the question is is there any democrat that has the ability to compete with her and beat her and if she is the harlem globetrotters for the washington generals in the next six months? what happens if she cannot get the gaps out and hone her message? >> i don't think there is anyone that can run for president that can beat her. she is the dominant democrat in

the field. what is important about this weekend and it will set the tone for the campaign is the why she is running. that is what everyone willis even to. we now know the if and how and when. we want to hear the why. what animates her to run for office again. what causes does she want to bring forward. i think that is what people across the political spectrum will be listening for this weekend. >> republicans will try to make this as difficult as they can for hillary clinton. you heard from ted cruz attacking her for the personal e-mail as secretary of state. not too long ago on the show you described that as highly unusual. how big of a problem is that going forward for hillary clinton? >> i still think there are questions she needs to answer. i do think, peter, the biggest issues that surround the election are still issues of economics and frankly personal

and homeland security. i think you have middle class and how they will do in the next eight years is tremendously important and how we keep this our country safe in a very dangerous world. i think that's what she's going to find is asked of her and most of the candidates when they sit in living rooms and vfw halls. >> and finally bill clinton. he said he will be a back stage advisor. you know the last campaign he was on stage. he got himself in trouble. if you are in charge of the clinton campaign how do you manage the former president? >> you have to understand former president clinton is among the best political strategist in the party and best communicators in all of politics. what they need to do is figure out what that key role is for him and use him in that way. clearly, he got frustrated last time because he did not believe

in the strategy. including him early in how they do these things and putting him in a position to push hillary clinton forward, he can be i think an effective surrogate like no one else. >> thank you, robert. new video of a brawl outside of a walmart in arizona. sheinelle. >> the dash cam video is of a fight that left one dead and an injured officer. an officer appears to be on the ground struggling with the suspect over his weapon. that is when another officer fatally shot the suspect. police say the shooting was justified. >> he still had control of sergeant daniel's weapon. >> the officer was treated and released. a second suspect was also wounded in the brawl. six people were arrested.
