household? >> yes. my husband told me before he was going to bed. that's great he's great at running the spread offense. >> we'll have more on that coming up. let's get to the top story this morning. another person arrested for jumping the fence at the white house. this time the secret service wasting no time to apprehend that suspect. kristen welker is there. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you. this latest incident the secret service says a person carrying a suspicious package jumped the fence on the south side of the white house complex late sunday night. now, that's the side that faces the washington monument. the fence jumper was immediately arrested by the secret service and is now in custody. charges are still pending. that package they were carrying was not a danger. this followed several recent embarrassing incidents for the secret service regarding white house security. last september a man jumped the fence and got all the way into the residence. he was carrying a knife in his

pocket. then last month, two secret service agents drove a government car into a white house security barricade after a night of drinking. the newly installed director joseph clancy has been called to testify on capitol hill about the lapses and has vowed to improve the situation. considering new steel spikes atop the current fence. that would be a temporary solution until a more secure replacement fence can be built. back to you. >> all right. kristen welker on this story for us. thanks very much. >> a lot of spotlight on the secret service right now. meantime, the weather is the story. storms firing up across the east coast. damaging winds, heavy rain and possible tornadoes. dylan whab dy wt are we looking at today? >> we had reports of wind damage nearly 150 reports of wind damage yesterday.

trees toppled onto homes. power lines crossing the streets here. we had wind gusts up to 70 miles per hour. a lot of damage to clean up. even these train cars were blown off the tracks because of the strong winds in southeastern alabama. in georgia we also saw some very large hail and also damaging winds. large trees toppled down onto the homes as well. today we're looking at this threat to spread further to the east. lots of cloud to ground lightning. we are going to see the threat though of a round of storms develop up and down the east coast. a round of rain in the morning, then a break, then the potential for stronger storms later today. it's this cold front that's going to move in. we're looking at 80s in washington, d.c. to the 50s in new york city. the cold front will eventually trigger some of these storms. large hail up to an inch and a half in diameter.

also the possibility of wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour. heavy boundownpours like lie for the evening commute. >> thanks very much. there are some new protests over an alleged incident of police brutality. this time in baltimore where a man died from injuries he apparently suffered at the time of his arrest. pete williams has more on this investigation. hi pete. good morning. >> reporter: matt good morning. the mayor and police chief say they're committed to finding out what happened. the baltimore man was 25. he died a week after he was arrested. and a family lawyer says the man's spine was partially severed in police custody. [ screaming ] >> reporter: this cell phone video provided to nbc news shows the arrest. the lawyer says greg suffered a broken neck last sunday when

police arrested and restrained him. the police have not given a call for gray's injuries saying there is an investigation into t. >> [ bleep ]. >> reporter: the lawyer for gray's family says he died sunday from his injuries. >> what we know is that while in police custody for committing no crime for which they had no justification for making an arrest except he was a black man running, his spine was virtually severed. >> reporter: the arrest came after he ran from four officers on bicycles. according to a police timeline at 8:42 a.m. april 12th officers called for a police van and says gray was conscious and talking when officers put him into the police vehicle. another video apparently shot by a witness shows the van stop at a second location at 8:54. gray appears to be taken out of the vehicle, put on the pavement

and confined by more restraints. at 9:34 they called to the hospital. more than 100 protesters gathered outside the police station sunday demanding answers. the latest in a string of protests over allegations of police brutality across the nation. at a news conference officials say they are committed to finding answers to what happened. >> we had officers in an area of a high-crime area known to have high narcotic incidents. we do not want to give out any information that is speculation and not fact based. >> reporter: the police officers involved have been placed on administrative leave. the police commissioner's request, they've been investigating police brutality in baltimore. >> pete thank you very much. politics. the 2016 @r presidential race is intensifying. hillary clinton takes her

campaign to new hampshire today where republicans are already on the attack against her record. andrea mitch sellell is there with the latest. >> reporter: hillary clinton is trying to repeat her low key campaign style like in iowa. republicans got here first and gave her an unpleasant welcome. >> starting to worry that when hillary clinton travels there's going to need to be two planes. one for her and her entourage and one for her baggage. >> reporter: this morning, clinton's first chance to respond. today she will focus on the economy. specifically small business. plus meetings with local and state politicians as she did in iowa. photographed there only by the campaign photographer. >> she talks about meeting real voters. in one instance when she walks in a store where there's an opportunity to talk to voters

remains in silence and disguise behind dark glasses. >> reporter: but it was a candid moment in 2008 that helped her connect. >> i have so many opportunities from this country. i just don't want b to see us fall backwards. >> reporter: voters here are hoping to see more moments like that one. >> i think she's starting right this time. she should work on being more relaxed, more opening with list >> reporter: new hampshire has been very friendly territory for both clintons in the past. while the republicans are barely organized here clinton has already hired a full staff trying to show new hampshire voters she is taking nothing for granted. >> andrea mitchell thank you. dayna perino served for george w. bush. she's now co-host of fox news channel's "the 5."

good morning. >> good to see you again. >> yes. >> we have a reunion history. >> exactly. and we want to talk about that in a moment. your book and the good news we badly need. but let's talk politics. what's wrong with hillary clinton? she's running unopposed. you think that's a blessing or a curse? >> she was called fre front runner in that segment. she's not the front runner. she's the only front runner on the democratic side. a lot of benefits and challenges come with that. she is the only person all the republicans who are running, if they're trying to show a contrast she is the only one to show a contrast against. >> we saw over the weekend a bunch of would be candidates throughout new hampshire taking their shots at hillary. is that the key question for republicans? who has the juice to take her on. >> for some republican voters yes. but there's a lot of different republican voters. and they're all across the country wanting to know a couple of things. some might say who can win. but also who's going to represent me well. who's going to get the country

back on track. the country is about 75% or so. so they're wanting to hear what are the policies and positions that you'll have. plus every presidential election is about character, trust, an honesty. i think one of the reasons hillary clinton decided to go forward in april and announce her candidacy is they saw her numbers in that key area slipping in key states like florida, colorado iowa. >> people shorthanded as sort of the establishment side of the party versus the con servegtive side of the party. and it's a conservative article of faith right now. ted cruz is one who's a proponent of this argument. that the reason republicans aren't winning national elections is because they do not nominate candidates who are conservative enough dpop you agre >> that's how he's going to define himself. at this time as an observer i'm not on part of a campaign that's great for me. looking across the republican field, i think the field is a

lot stronger in 2016 than it was in 2012. there are stark differences and contrast but there's also men of confidence. >> you worked for george w. bush. his brother jeb bush looks to be gearing up for a race. as you know in 2008 or 2012 the last name bush probably would have been a nonstarter for a presidential campaign. do you think people's views have softened about the bush presidency? >> maybe for some in a little way because there's a time healed a little bit. a bush/clinton race in 2016 would give everyone flashbacks. >> in a good way? >> for some. but not necessarily all. and i think that jeb bush knows that he goes into this with eyes wide open. he understands his name i.d. is a benefit and a drawback. he has a lot of hurdles he's going to have to clear. but if he can clear those and earn people's trust, he could go the distance. >> the book is about your small

town rise to the white house. and it's called "the good news is okay." what's the good news today? >> you end up with a warmer feeling about washington and public service because, for one, i get asked all the time how did something like you end up in a place like that. i grew up in the west. i had no political connections. people think i knew the bushes or cheneys and that's how i got the job. but it's not. when you were working for nbc and i was a deputy press secretary, i was quite happy in that role. but then things happened. when tony snowe happened and later passed away with his battle with cancer i happened to be the right press secretary at the right time. now at fox news it's a new career transition for me. i'm speaking for myself for the first time. i don't speak for anybody else. so i wrote this book to give people an understanding you don't have to have gone to an ivy league school to end up advising the president of the united states. you've been right there in

the halls of power. it's great to see you again and have you here. >> thanks for having me. >> over to natalie with the other stories of the morning including a tragic story overseas. >> good morning, everyone. hundreds are feared dead after a migrant boat capsized this weekend in the mediterranean sea south of italy. richard engel is in italy with the very latest. richard,rn >> reporter: good morning, natalie. from sicily this is where survivors are supposed to be brought. but so far most of them aren't here. and in fact only a few dozen survivors have been pulled out of the water so far along with a few dozen bodies. hundreds are feared dead 37. so far just a few bodies have been pulled but there may be many more. a survivor from bangladesh said 950 migrants were packed onto a wooden fishing boat headed for

europe. the maltese prime minister said 200 of them were women, 50 children. survivors claim hundreds of the migrants were locked below deck when the boat capsized. an italian border police official suggested their weight could have quickly dragged the ship to the seabed. europe has experienced a migrant crisis. warmer weather has brought an increased number of ships. italy rescued 8,500 migrants just this weekend. and before this tragedy, 900 had died this year. ten times as many as the same time period last year. why? libya, mostly. this is a migration center. nobody here wants to stay. they all want to make their way to europe. and now they can at least try. after the fall of gadhafi, libya has become lawless. its coast, a spring board for smugglers.

began to wash ashore right here on on the island. this is what it looks like today. scientists call this an oil mat. it's the oil sort of all congealed together. this is what it looked like on the island when i was here five years ago. those vacuums are gone but some of the oil and the long-term impact remains. those bank ets -- blankets of oil and dying birds are no longer visible. but big chunks called oil balls. >> this is poison. >> reporter: thick blankets of oil still lie throughout the ocean floor. bp calls that a myth. >> there is no oil out there to be churned up and wash ashore. >> reporter: seafood catches are back to pre-spill levels they say. >> what happened here five years

victorian dress who was not always happy and sometimes bitter with her loss in life. >> kate bullock, good morning to you. starting a conversation again. spinster is not a word as we just saw that most people associate with positive things. are you trying to kind of reclaim it in this book? >> i am. i think that spinster is an excellent way to broadcast our conflicted attitudes around women. and a way to think about how we can rethink the single woman experience. >> this book takes your column in a next step. i guess it sort of talks about a single life you choose. >> exactly. i wanted to show the state many women avoid of being alone and childless that many women have thrived past and present. amazing things can happen when people are alone. >> but there's so much pressure to pursue that course. you write it in the book.

whom to marry and when will it happen those two questions define every woman's existence and govern her until the answers are even nobody and never. some women can say maybe i'll have relationships, maybe i just won't get married. >> i think society is catching up. it's hard to bring attitudes up to date with demographic shifts. it always takes awhile where we still have the attitudes that our parents and grandparents dealt with. we were dealing with a different reality on the ground. but right now we have more unmarried women than ever been. it's changing the conversation. >> there's a distinction to be made there. is this a question of women saying i don't want to be in any relationship or that i don't want to be married? >> it's a lot of things. i've only talked to a handful of people who say i never want to get married. that's not for me. mostly it's about women who are really excited about their

careers or their educational pursuits and keep pushing marriage off but still feel like something's wrong with them. or feel like they're alone in that decision. >> and generationally it also must make a real difference. >> yes. absolutely. i see that women of my generation who they're the ones who -- it's been -- we tend to grow up thinking we'll get married some day because that's what people do. then we hit our mid-30s and go through this paradigm shift like wait a minute i love my life. >> i have to say, you have a part in the book where you're talking about walking down the street in the middle of the night eating a big mac going home. i was like i remember those days. those were good days. by the way we asked folks to weigh in in the orange room and asked them whether or not they thought being married was easier than being single. and 59% said no.

actually that being single was harder. wait. is it easier for a woman to be married than single? no. 59%. it's a good decision to have and one that will continue online. >> thanks so much. coming up the joys and stresses of getting into college. we're with students as they learn the big news. but first this is "today" on

8:45. we're back now with something you might be experiencing if you have a high school senior in the family 37. >> yes. the exhilarating anxiety inducing time which is the college admissions season. jenna is back with that story. >> when we applied it was all about the envelope. now decisions are sent by e-mail. but what hasn't changed, the nerve-racking process. and for the last four months we followed along with a group of students from one new york city school as they applied.

>> let's go seniors let's go! >> reporter: it's an annual tradition in washington heights. a trip to the post office to send off college applications. an emotional journey for many of these students. like 17-year-old erica cabrera who has big dreams. when you were younger how'd your parents talk about college to you? >> since i was younger, my mom always told me i don't want you to be like me. she works at a gasoline station. she wakes up at 5:00 in e the morning and she goes off to work. that was the motivation for me my mother telling me to go to college. >> reporter: erica attends wheels where most are first generation college applicants. she rides the subway every day for over an hour each way hoping her dedication will pay off with acceptance to her dream school. >> i couldn't help it but to fall in love so hopefully i get accepted. >> reporter: i had classmate byron garcia also has big plans.

>> what makes me nervous is not getting in into a college. the worst thing is getting a denial from both of them. >> reporter: wheels is a school that stresses education and not just abo getting in. >> being eligible for higher education and truly being ready are two different things. >> reporter: the founder of a group called blue engine sends mentors to work with students at schools like wheels. he calls it his army of peer mentors. >> the students and teachers in blue engine are working so closely to make sure what students have when they go they're going to have what they need launched into higher education. >> reporter: blue engine representatives tutors students helps with financial aid forms, and perhaps most important for all, they're there for the kids

after they've graduated serving as a sounding board. with the help of blue engine mentors, three months after byron mailed in his application, he finds out. >> i got into university at buffalo, university at albany and wait listed at bart college. i'm planning to go to university at buffalo. >> reporter: now it's time for decisions and plans. on a journey that started with a symbolic three-block walk. getting parents teachers mentors, and a neighborhood a reason to celebrate. are you proud? >> yes. >> reporter: blue engine mentors so proud too. >> byron has come a long way. i'm just extremely happy that he's here. i love him to death and i'm so excited for hi >> reporter: wheels principal brett kimmel says it's a message

of hope for the kids to follow. why is it so important we celebrate these kids applying to college. >> many of them will say i've been waiting for this for years. we saw in ninth grade the seniors do it and we were ready to do it. it becomes inspirational that way. >> reporter: a step towards the future. >> congratulations, class of 2015. >> reporter: and what about erica cabrera? >> touch my heart right now. >> reporter: on the day she checks the dartmouth website, her mom is by he. two shining stars leading the >> i must be hormonal too. i don't know. >> being pregnant and watching these amazing kids is so terrific. but erica is going to dartmouth, it was her first choice. she traveled almost an hour and

a half one way to get to school because this school wheels is so terrific. all the support systems that got them to where they're going is incredible. >> follow them. keep following them find out how they do. >> that touched my heart. you touched our hearts. thank you. up next, the best of broadway. a live performance from the cast of "on the town" in our studio. but first this is "today" on

willie. you're getting really comfortable here. >> yes. >> you have something to do with this? >> with willie? i can't talk about that. >> is he on the blacklist? >> he's got the answers. >> you are getting very comfortable 37 we took a snapshot of you in carson's office right? >> making some phone calls. >> did you go through the drawer the medicine cabinet? >> i found things i should not repeat on air. >> are you wearing carson's suit? >> yes. just his underwear actually. >> i didn't see that coming. scary. we're happy to have you. >> last time you were here we were trying to pry stuff out of you about the show. so red's life right now hanging on by a thread. >> hanging on by a thread. >> he's shot right? >> right. >> by -- >> by a crazy sniper. by someone we don't know. that's where we're headed.

for the first time -- >> we're not showing red. we're showing you. >> what's going on here? this is a little something else. >> there he is. >> the shot heard around the world. >> it's like who shot j.r. but who shot red. >> he's always the -- the man is always in control. he's down and out. >> so we're going to find out thursday? >> we are. thursday we're back, yeah. >> nice. okay. so there's your little tease for what's happening on thursday. you know what? something we've been talking about this morning, did you see taylor swift's mother at the country music awards last night? last night the show 2015 academy of country music awards. we've been talking a lot about taylor after she revealed her mother was battling cancer. we don't know what type of cancer she has. but we know she had a strong message last night.

take a look at her beautiful speech. >> for many years, i was her constant companion. and i witnessed a young girl with very few friends become a young woman with many learning to stand up for herself and the things she believes in. like many of you out there tonight with children of your own i am a very proud mom. >> and taylor swift a very proud daughter there. i mean it was so sweet. the audience reaction, reaction on social media. you know, we don't often want to bring our parents into our world. we're so protective of them. and she shared her story, her mother's struggle. her mother slept in the car and waited on her for auditions and was her best friend. now she's standing there with her mother, somebody who will pull through this. and our prayers and thoughts are with them. >> i don't think there was a dry eye. adorable speech. you see that bond so close. here's an interesting op-ed

that caught our eye. i think you probably all know what i'm talking about if you are a parent of young kids. the sarl hey kids look at me when we're talking. the author says when she shakes hands with young people, they have an aversion to looking at him in the eye. why is this? well, the theory is that kids obviously spending way too much time looking into their screens, that they start to lose the ability to read non-verbal communication. things you start learning when you're an infant. you start mimicking what they do. but he says that kids as they're getting older all they're doing is staring at their screens. they're losing the ability to read people's non-verbal signals. and therefore are not having those -- the one-on-one interactions that you normally have. and according to the article i was reading apparently the kaiser family foundation says the amount of time kids are spending on devices under the age of 8 tripled from five

minutes a day in 2011 to fifteen minutes in 2013. and they say for teenagers, kids are spending on average seven and a half hours a day on their devices. seven and a half hours. that's more than they're sleeping in most cases. >> it may well be the devices but it's also correction. you know, i have three nieces and a nephew, they're like my kids. we go everywhere together. when we're at a restaurant, i make them look up and order your food. and i'm not going to order it for you. you want chicken nuggets, i'm not going to tell the server. you have to look up. >> can i text you get me chicken nuggets while i'm at the table. >> please and thank you. >> no. it's a correction. >> it's a battle. >> this makes me feel like an old guy. like those darn kids on their devices. >> but i'm sure your parent or someone around you said give a firm hand shake, look a person in the eye. >> yes. >> so i don't know. i just think it's correcting the

behavior that may not be as prominent when we were kids. >> children relate to people through their devices instead of face-to-face. >> how often do you hear kids even really having a real conversation? they'll be in the same room and they're texting each other back and forth. >> that's what al says, is guess what they're learning it. their parents. keeping their work phone on. >> we're not good role models. >> it's not being bad or good, but we're tech obsessed. trust me. i've looked every day when when iwatch is going to be shipped. >> is there not just a parenting app we could download to raise the kids for us? >> put a picture of the kid's problem in and it spits out the answer. >> love that. >> it was called supernanny. >> bring her in. >> speaking of things that are super -- okay. gather around everyone you know. the 2-month-old --

>> uh-oh. it's a gather around one. >> when tamron gathers everyone around, it's big. >> grab whatever you have with you. so this kid got the surprise of a lifetime. you know what a big deal it is to visit the zoo. we all know that. going to the zoo, i'm so excited, so fun. i'm going to see the gorillas and everything. >> is that what you do at the zoo? >> i still do it at 199, the age i am. well, in omaha's henry dorrly zoo, a girl thought it was fun to beat her chest with the guerrilla.rille gorilla. look at how that went. >> oh, man! whoa. >> full disclosure here, i'm bummed. >> we didn't show the little girl. she's adorable. she was standing in front. she just tapped her chest ever so slightly. this silver back came out of

nowhere. everyone ran for the hills. even the dad was like get out of the way. >> everybody out. >> the glass broke. >> my gosh. >> but she just -- we've all done something silly at the zoo. you make a face on the other side. she just barely tapped her little chest. she's maybe 5 years old. and this gorilla came out of nowhere. he never made eye contact. look. he never makes eye contact. >> do you think he felt threatened? >> that's what the assumption is. >> never going to the zoo again. >> never beating my chest at the zoo. you've got to go online. >> they're fascinating. >> if they're not coming at you. >> i love just sitting there staring at them. >> no eye contact and none of this. >> don't beat your chest and don't do crazy faces. >> that must have been terrifying. >> well, speaking of baseball -- >> you play baseball? >> i did. >> great segue. >> thank you. i'm getting good at this. >> who's your team? >> i moved to new york i've got

to say yankees. >> what do your friends back home say that? >> they're upset. they're all dodgers fans. yeah. the second inning of sunday's padres/cubs game, jon lester's quick thinking saved a base hit. check this out. >> saved by lester. throw the glove. >> he could not get the ball out of his glove. so he ended up taking his glove off and throwing his glove with the ball in it to the first baseman. >> does that count? >> it completely counts. a little ingenuity. that's legal. yeah. >> as long as the ball is in the glove. >> how did it stay in that glove? >> it's a firm glove. firm fitting. >> you massage the glove so -- it has to be perfectly in there. >> you would think it would just tip over and the ball would come out. >> we used to drive my mom's car

over our gloves just so that didn't happen. >> oil it and put the rubber band around it. >> yeah, yeah. but i never pulled that one off. >> all right. let's turn it over to dylan in for al. >> we have a lot of rain out there especially moving through the new york city area right now. it's going to come in two rounds. we've got e the first one coming through. then we've got this cold front back through western carolina right now. that's going to trigger stronger storms especially as we go into this afternoon. that's what we have to watch out for later on today. you see the warm front moves in. we've got some rain. then we might get a break before the second round moves in. these could potentially be severe. especially down from philadelphia into southeastern parts of the country where we could end up with large hail and damaging wind gusts. we also could see perhaps up to 1 to 2 inches of rain. so we do have to keep an eye out for this area. doesn't look like we'll see

widespread tornadoes. one or two are possible. this is going to redevelop into this evening. then it's finally out of here into good morning. i'm meteorologist bill henley. grab your umbrella. steady rain, heavy at times this morning and gusty winds as well. but afternoon sunshine and temperatures in the 70s today. the warm air could fuel storms tonight. by tomorrow though, we've got sunshine. 68 degrees. a beautiful day tuesday. there is a chance of a late day shower on wednesday but then drying out and becoming cooler for thursday, friday, and into the weekend partly sunny skies. have a great day. >> and that's your latest forecast. back on over to you. >> thank you. one of the most exciting things over the weekend was to follow you on twitter. natalie ran in the marathon. this was my favorite shot. >> this makes you queasy. >> that's you coming the in for

the finish. >> where was the camera? on on your forehead? >> i was holding it and running with it. which i don't advise normally. >> the runs is enough. >> erica hill ran along with you and you co-hosted the event. >> can i just point out the incredible support that we had from our team today? we had a lot of producers, staffers running along with us. and it was such a great group. it's all about women empowerment. >> how many ran this year? >> over 10,000 ran at central park. it was a great race. it's so much fun. it's great if you're a first timer. tamron, maybe next year. you're a track star. >> i can't run three minutes. i will cheer you on. >> i'll do it. >> it's a women's marathon. >> we'll put you in a wig. >> i think we just make the sign. >> all right. >> thanks again to all those who showed up. coming up next, you know her best in an orange jump suit as
