stephanie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. sergeant jay cook was out here on these rural roads by himself. a 21-year veteran of the new york state police. he didn't have a tabt cal teamctical team or an automatic rifle. officials say because he was alert and fired a good shot this 23-day manhunt finally came to an end. david sweat is hospitalized in protective custody in albany this morning after being shot and arrested sunday afternoon just a mile from the canadian border and 30 miles from the prison he escaped. according to authorities, shortly after 3:00 p.m. new york state police sergeant jay cook saw a suspicious man jogging down a road. when confronted sweat ran across an open field and cook opened fire to prevent him from reaching a heavily wooded area. >> just bang bang. >> reporter: the end of the manhunt coming close to michael doyle's windows. >> i've never seen 40 50 cop cars and never seen 300, 400 guys run out in the road with

guns. >> reporter: sweat was struck twice in the torso and treated on scene before being transported to an area hospital. 16 miles south and two days earlier, sweat's partner in the escape richard matt, was shot and killed by police. autopsy results released sunday say matt died of three gunshots to the head. it is not known when or where the pair split up but according to police sweat's dna was found on an object not far from where matt was killed. >> it was a picnic-style pepper shakers and we believe that possibly these two males were using pepper to throw the scent off for the dogs who were tracking them. >> reporter: celebration was evident. governor andrew cuomo spoke publicly sunday night. >> the escapees have been dealt with. you couldn't have a better ending. >> reporter: authorities had hoped to catch sweat alive because they want details on how he and matt escaped from prison. now cnn spoke to sweat's mother who also is happy to her son was

caught alive but she added that had she seen him, she would have turned him in herself. savannah? >> stephanie gosk thank you very much. nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer is outside the hospital in alba i where david sweat is now being treated. miguel good morning. what's the latest on his condition? >> reporter: willie good morning. 35-year-old david sweat is still listed in critical condition, shot twice in the torso area citing privacy laws doctors won't release specifics about his injuries. we know he's being evaluated by a team of doctors. he was transported here both by air ambulance then on the ground into the hospital. he is in a high-security area. the staff here won't say if he has spoken to doctors but the district attorney says he has not yet spoken to investigators. of course after richard matt was killed he is a key piece of this investigation. investigators clearly want to speak to him about what he did, how he was able to escape and how he was able to stay on the run for nearly a month. that has not yet happened. again, he is still listed in critical condition. >> miguel authorities would

love to get some information out of him. thanks so much. meantime lawmakers and business leaders here in the u.s. and around the world are keeping a close eye on the delicate situation in greece this morning. that country's ongoing financial crisis now leading to an emergency banking shutdown for at least six days. nbc's kerry sanders is in athens for us this morning. kerry, good morning to you. >> reporter: well the banks are indeed closed today and they will be for the rest of the week. atms are functioning and they're supposedly going to dispense up to 60 euro a day to somebody who needs to get money out. the problem is the atms are empty. they have not replenished the currency in those, so folks are lining up but they can't get any money. there is an increasing feeling here in greece among residents that the euro which they've had now for five years, could be replaced with its old currency the drachma. the euro crisis here in greece has set off a worldwide chain reaction. overseas markets reacted this

morning. the nikkei in japan fell 3%. the london stock market is down 2%. the u.s. market has little financial exposure to the euro crisis but experts say it is often hard to predict how emotions will impact trading. after five years of dramatic and often painful cutbacks on government services and attempts to have greek residents actually pay their taxes, the country remains deeply indebted and now cannot make an immediate loan payment of more than $1.5 billion. the long lines at atms depleted with cash are not only hitting greeks. those here on vacation are caught up in this crisis. at the acropolis, one senior class from california say they're mostly out of euros and they still have a full day to spend here before going home. >> i am completely out of euros right now. i feel like i can't get any more. so i had someone else pay for my breakfast. >> reporter: while street protests in athens are so far calm some folks on vacation say, were they to have known

about this, they would have gone elsewhere on vacation. >> reporter: knowing what you know now, would you come to greece on your vacation? >> i'd have to say no to that. >> reporter: tour operators say they have been getting worried calls from americans. meantime russia's vooldladimir putin could step in and help greece. if he does that that would turn a financial situation into a political situation and that would likely draw in the united states. >> kerry sanders in athens for us thank you. experts at nasa and spacex are trying to understand how yet another cargo ship heading for the international space station blew up just after lift-off from cape canaveral. it is the third time in eight months now. it is a concern to nasa obviously, to the space station crew and it plans to turn over these missions to the private sector. nbc's tom costello is at the kennedy space center for us. tom, good morning. >> reporter: willie good morning. nasa is asking the people who live along florida's atlantic coast to call authorities if they find any rocket debris. meantime elon musk the foubdzfounder

of spacex says they're still trying to figure out how and why this rocket came aback just 2:19 seconds into flight. >> reached maximum dynamic pressure. >> reporter: this morning the investigation into how the seemingly picture-perfect rocket launch suddenly went so wrong. a massive explosion as the unmanned spacex falcon 9 seems to vaporize over the florida coast. >> would appear to have had a launch vehicle failure. >> reporter: it is the third time in eight months a cargo ship destined for the space station has been lost. last october another private company's rocket blew up on lift-off. then in april, a russian progress ship with three tons of supplies was lost in orbit. on board the space station, astronaut scott kelly tweeted watched dragon launch from the space station. sadly failed. space is hard. mark kelly, now a spacex and nbc news consultant -- >> three of these cargo ships

with a lot of stuff -- not only personal stuff and clothing and food but also supplies for some of the experiments and for upgrading the space station. >> reporter: also lost -- water supplies a replacement space suits and parts for a water filtration system. but nasa insists the space station crew has enough food and water to last until the fall. >> they've done a tremendous job of balancing all the consumables on orbit. >> reporter: for these high school students their science experiments were gone again after first being lost in the october blast. >> failure is to be expected sometimes catastrophic ones but we are not going to let this deter us. >> reporter: meanwhile, a crew escape capsule is planned for the next rocket that would eventually carry astronauts to space. spacex says had this been a manned mission, they're confident that the auntsstronauts would have been ejected into the ocean from that capsule. >> now the third failure in eight months. thanks tom costello. natalie has a tragic plane

cash. >> frightening moments for a massachusetts neighborhood on sunday evening when a small plane sloomd intoammed into a house killing all three people onboard the plane. it happened south of boston. amazingly, a family of four inside that home at the time managed to survive, fleeing before the flames engulfed their home. the faa says the plane took off from lancaster, penn was headed to norwood, massachusetts. one neighbor said he heard the plane's engine sputtering before the crash. the ntsb will arrive on scene today to investigate. the nation's law enforcement officials have been urged to be extra vigilant this week heading up to the fourth of july holiday with heightened concerned about the possibility of home grown terrorism. >> reporter: officials stress that they know of no specific terror plots. instead they say this concern is based on two factors. first, the calendar. the obvious target that america's birthday celebration might present.

and this year the july 4th holiday comes during the muslim holy month of ramadan. second the relentless spread of isis social media. some of it u.s. intelligence says is aggressively calling for attacks during ramadan and around july 4th. the fbi's stepping up the pace of arrests bringing in people who have been under surveillance for months suspected of plotting attacks here. seven arrests in the past two weeks. from the secretary of homeland security the now-familiar advice -- keep your holiday plans, enjoy yourself but pay attention. and if you see something, say something. natalie? >> pete williams in washington for us thank you. worshippers from a south carolina church were forced to relocate sunday's services after their church was burned to the ground over the weekend. only a few charred pews remain from the fire that destroyed grover globe missionary baptist church in warrenville. investigators are still working to determine exactly what started the fire. the pastor says their faith and the help that they've received from other local churches are helping them to move past the

tragedy. at least a dozen homes have been destroyed and hundreds more evacuated as a fast-moving brush fire moved across a washington state town on sunday. firefighters worked through the night to battle the flames. three helicopters were dropping water on the fire but they had to stop as night fell. the area is under a red flag warning for gusty winds and low humidity as well as dry lightning. and, if you park illegally in a handicapped spot a parking ticket might be the least of your worries. take a look at this. a driver in brazil returning to his car to find that. thousands of blue post-it notes covering his vehicle and a few white ones in the shape of the wheelchair as witnesses cheered on the prank, the frustrated driver peeled a few of this emoff the windshield also off the side window before then eventually driving away. i guess he learned a tough lesson. >> i don't know if he'll be trying that one again. >> very well orchestrated too. >> perfectly well done.

dylan's in for al. >> it is very very hot out west. we actually had -- hit a temperature of 107 degrees yesterday in spokane, washington. that's the second warmest temperature ever on record for spokane. it has been extremely hot with this area of high pressure in control. it is not going anywhere any time soon. right along the coast, it will drop down into the mid 80s. but you go inland just a bit, boise close to a record 103. palm springs, 109. phoenix 109 today. we are looking for temperatures to drop off a little bit tomorrow. down into the mid 80s and lower 90s. but then as we go into wednesday and thursday they're right back up to 102 in boise, 103 on thursday. warm through salt lake city too. temperatures in the lower 100s to upper 90s. elsewhere across the country, a couple of areas through the upper midwest and ohio river valley where we could see s what about a "win-win-win"? pick up the limited edition metallic droid turbo

forecast. savannah? annual gay pride parades took on new meaning on sunday as people poured into the city streets to celebrate the supreme court's ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. over the weekend, comments on that decision from republican presidential candidates ranged from calls to respect the decision to support for an amendment that would reverse the ruling. texas senator ted cruz called it illegitimate and lawless. he would like a constitutional amendment that would abolish the lifetime appointment of supreme court just sises and allow voters the chance to remove them from the bench. cruz has a new book out called "a time to choose." thank you for joining us. can't think of a better time to have you as a guest with these consequential rulings coming down last week. you were quoted as saying these two decisions represented some of the darkest hours in american history. that took me aback. i can think of some pretty dark days 9/11 civil war, dread

scott. scott? >> what happened last week is twice, back-to-back majority of the justices on the u.s. supreme court violated their judicial oath. on thursday of last week the court rewrote obamacare, rewrote the statute, ignored the language of the statute and as a result forced millions of people into this failed law. millions of americans are hurting, have lost their jobs have lost their health care because of obamacare. the next day the supreme court rewrote the constitution and threw out the marriage laws of all 50 states. now, listen. i've spent my life fighting to defend the constitution and there is a constitutional means. if someone wants to change the marriage laws in the state, the way the constitution allows you to do so is to convince your fellow citizens to do so through the democratic process. what we saw instead is five unelected a lawyers saying the views of 320 million americans don't matter because they're going to enforce their own policy position. >> let me ask you about that. one thing you also said is you would support a texas state clerk who refused to issue a

license to a gay couple on religious grounds. let me ask you this. if a state clerk refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple would you agree with that too? >> well there's no religious backing for that. one of the things -- >> but you know that in the loving versus virginia case which struck down bans on interracial marriage they use religious arguments to justify that. >> there's no religious backing for that and i have spent decades fighting against bigotry and racial oppression. i'm the son of a cuban immigrant. bigotry is fundamentally wrong. one of the things i talk about in the book "a time for truth," is fighting to defend religious liberty. for me really liberty isn't just some new found campaign theme. i've spent two decades. when i was slit toreolicitor general for the state of texas, over and over again we fought and defended religious liberty and won, we defended the ten commandments and won, we defended the pledge of

allegiance and won. one thing i was really honored to do i represented over 3 million veterans defending the mo mohave desert and won. >> loving versus virginia struck down a state ban on interracial marriage. many people seem parallels with gay plarnlgmarriage. would you have taken that same position that it's not a constitutional rights and the states should have been free to ban interracial marriage if they wanted to? >> of course not. and we fought a bloody civil war. >> what's the difference in those two cases? >> it is exactly what i said that we fought a bloody civil war over the original sin of our country which was slavery. slavery was grotesque and immoral and some 600,000 americans spilled their blood on american soil and lost their lives to expunge it. we passed the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the

constitution that are to ensure that everyone has equal rights regardless of race. and that was honoring the promise of the constitution. it was the right thing to do. one of the things that in my book "a time for truth," i talk about is my time clerking at the u.s. supreme court, trying to give people a window to what happens behind the scenes. it is the same thing i try to do in the senate. we're giving people an understanding not just of what is said on the news but what's actually happening behind closed doors. the role of money and, sadly, the corruption of both republicans and democrats who join together in what i call the washington cartel. >> you talk about corruption money and politics yet you're suggesting this constitutional amendment that would subject supreme court justices to retention elections which sounds like injecting politics into the one branch of government the framers were very clear about. they did not want to have to be subject to the little bitpolitical women's. >> let me be clear. the court has injected itself

into politics. justice scalia wrote two powerful dissents. i would encourage everyone to read them where he says these decisions are a fundamental threat to democracy and he says five unelected lawyers have declared themselves the rulers -- >> would elections make it less political? >> what's interesting -- i wrote a long op-ed in "national review" laying out 20 states have adopted election retentions. one of the things justice scalia talks about, you've got nine lawyers, they're all from harvard or yale there are no protestants on the court, there are no evangelicals on the court. the elites on the court look over much of this country as fly hfr fly-over country. they think our views are parochial and don't deserve to be affected. justice scalia pointed out, what a crazy system to have the most important issues of our day

decided by unelected lawyers. we have 50 states. if the states could decide this maybe new york and california would go one way, and maybe texas and florida would go the others. that's the miracle of our constitution. >> senator ted cruz i know you know the constitution well. thank you so much for your time. appreciate have youing here. willie over to you. senator cruz thank you as well, sir. coming up two new shark attacks off the north carolina coast. six in less than a month. why are we seeing so many of these this summer? plus, she's going to hear them roar. the nuns trying to stop music superstar superstar katy perry from buying their convert. you got to hear this story. but first this is "today" on nbc.

7:30 now on this monday morning, june 29th, 2015. a happy crowd kicking off their week in rockefeller plaza. back inside studio 1a the disco ball comes down here's a look at the headlines this morning. the big story we're following once again -- those escaped convicts and the convicted murderer david sweat has been caught he's in critical condition this morning after being shot by a new york state police officer near the canadian border. sweat and fellow inmate richard matt were on the run for three weeks after they broke out of prison. matt was shot and killed by police on friday. nasa is trying to figure out what caused the unmanned spacex falcon 9 rocket to explode over the florida coast just minutes

into the flight on a mission to carry supplies to the international space station. nasa insists the space station crew does have enough food and water to last until the fall. a dangerous wildfire burning in central washington. it is already damaged or destroyed several homes there. overnight new evacation orders were issued for some nearby neighborhoods. high-anxiety for beachgoers in north carolina after yet another shark attack. the latest victim a teenage boy who's now recovering. nbc's gabe gutierrez is on north carolina's outer banks. >> reporter: good morning. summer is apparently off to a dangerous start. six shark attacks in a month here in north carolina. just two weeks ago we were further south on the coast reporting on this. now this latest attack happened just down this beach. today many beachgoers are wondering whether this water is safe. this youtube video appears to show a seven-foot shark being reeled in by three fishermen friday on a crowded beach on

north carolina's outer banks. >> oh my god! >> reporter: the woman who shot the video tells nbc news it all happened about an hour's drive from where a shark viciously attacked a 47-year-old man the same day. >> the victim is on the beach now. respond for a shark bite. >> reporter: he spotted the shark while swimming and was franticly trying to warn others. >> on the beach, oceanside, caller's saying someone's been bitten by a shark. >> reporter: the very next day an 18-year-old nearly died after another shark attack. this morning he's improving. doctors have upgraded his conditions from critical to serious. on average, there are four or five shark bites a year off north carolina but just this month there have been six. 8-year-old brady survived with minor injuries but 12-year-old kirsten lost an arm. so did 16-year-old hunter. >> i didn't see it coming. i felt it on my leg. then i saw it once it had attacked my arm because it was out of the water a little bit. >> the equation is shark plus

human equals attack. >> reporter: experts like george burgess of the university of florida say warmer water and more vacationers play a role but now we're seeing more cell phone cameras on the beach recording every heart-stopping encounter. >> the reality is that we're not under siege by sharks and what we have of course then is a change in perception as opposed to a change in reality. >> reporter: now to put this in perspective, your odds of being involved in a deadly shark attack are 1 in 3.7 million. not sure how comforting that is but many people here in north carolina are staying out of the water for now. dylan, you got a check of the weather. >> out in phoenix yesterday we saw some pretty wild weather. another day with this dust storm that developed once these storms fire up then the winds kick up all that dust.

it reduces visibility. we had traffic having trouble on the roads because you couldn't see in front of you because of those storms. thousands were without power. we could see a similar set-up today with more thunderstorms likely that don't produce a lot of rain but do produce a lot of those gusty winds and causes some of those dust storms to develop. we also have some storms moving out of indiana and into ohio. columbus right now, you're still seeing some sun but the clouds will fill in and you will see a round of heavier rain within the next hour or two. we also have a chance in two areas to see strong storms -- up toward minneapolis and duluth as well. large hail and damaging dwindgusty winds. good morning, i'm meteorologist bill henley. what a beautiful day ahead. lots of sunshine, low humidity and a nice breeze that will be out of the west at 12 miles an

hour. upper 70s and low 80s. cool for this time of year. but that changes tomorrow. 87 degrees with a chance of late-day showers and thunderstorms tuesday, more likely to come through early wednesday morning. chance of showers continues into the weekend for the fourth of july. sunshine near 90 sunday. have a great day. that's your latest forecast. >> dylan, thank you so much. coming up, your need for speed fulfilled? big news about a "top gun" sequel and tom cruise's potential involvement. and next we will meet the nuns fighting to stop katy perry from buying their convent. that story is right after this.

superstar katy perry and the dispute is over who gets to buy a former convent. nbc's halle jackson has this story for us. >> reporter: good morning. this place would be perfect for a famous person. it's stunningly beautiful, incredibly private, yet right in the heart of l.a. but the battle over who gets to buy it and sell it sounds like the set-up to a puvlg line. what do you get when you cross the catholic church katy perry, a group of nuns and all their lawyers? nobody knows yet. before she became one of the biggest pop superstars on the planet katy perry, the daughter of a pastor sang gospel releasing a christian album. these nuns knew none of that when they heard the singer wanted to buy their convent. >> i didn't know who she was. >> i was particularly concerned about the video "the dark horse." >> reporter: that grammy performance, part of the nun's research on perry as they look to sell their eight-acre oasis,

perry. the archbishop has made a promise to care for the sisters and we want to do what's best for them. >> reporter: to settle this both sides will have to turn to a higher power -- a judge. >> god help us we are going to fight this. >> reporter: and that fight will continue with a court date set for next month. the nuns say if they have to they will take this all the way to the vatican ka guys. perry's people, not commenting. but if it goes her way, this could be all hers eventually. and if she needs a roommate i know somebody who would volunteer. >> we're available. all of us. hallie wow. such an interesting story. >> the great irony is katy perry comes from a deeply religious family. her father's an evangelical preacher. >> can you just imagine her singing that song for the nuns? and they're like nice but no. no. we'll continue to follow that one. still ahead, the marriage name game. why women are keeping their maiden names in record numbers.

could it happen again? maybe there is a guy with some answers in this extraordinary looking place. he's a russian scientist who follows comets and asteroids. >> you see really really fast move. >> reporter: in october he discovered an asteroid 1,300 feet wide almost the height of the empire state building. this is coming close. >> yes. this asteroid. >> reporter: throughout centuries meteorites have menaced the earth. wiped out dinosaurs. in 20 years, the professor says the world has discovered 1,500 asteroids that might be dangerous. >> here's a telescope. an old soviet telescope. although technology has transformed our ability to watch the skies, since the days of old-fashioned telescopes like these, he warns we're still missing meteors. >> last month we lost two.

>> reporter: hunting asteroids is a global effort. >> we're constantly on the guard, constantly looking. we're doing everything humanly possible to be able to detect these before they come anywhere near the earth. but there's going to be times when some will come in that will surprise us. >> reporter: and the professor's asteroid -- how many miles is that? >> oh that's several million kilometers. >> okay. >> reporter: the asteroid is still millions of miles away and it won't threaten us for at least 100 years. >> 100 years? no problem. >> reporter: so we have some time. but, he says we must keep watching the skies. the folks at nasa tell me we have years of warning before a really huge meteor strike and they say they've already identified many of the big asteroids. they say every morning they get up and identify more but, guys they say they always sleep well

"today" nutritionist joy bauer was very inspiring. >> we tried to cut some if not all of the 22 teaspoons of added sugar the average american

consumes in a day. we found out that's definitely easier said than done. the mission -- kick added sugar to the curb for ten days. all real sugar, sugar, agave, honey, coconut sugar -- everything on this list. >> reporter: our staff joined in too. >> i am taking away things like soda be with even a diet soda. . fruit juice. the cakes. cookies. pies. >> reporter: but from the get-go be with it was clear, some were more sour than sweet on this idea. >> i would just like to say -- i'd just like to say -- >> reporter: just 24 hours in the withdrawals were already in full effect. >> the ten days are over i'm getting my face in here. >> i gave up one morning of my coffee 4:30 this morning. i didn't have any of my stevia in the raw in it. i got to tell you, didn't set me out on a good foot. >> reporter: things weren't going so well back in the newsroom either. >> i think it is a great idea for the staff. but i have a great big

concession. i never even started. >> i can't do it. i'm not doing it. >> i gave up because life got too bland. >> i have the opportunity to order a delicious moscow mule. i gave in. >> i know sugar is an issue for me so i am sticking to it. >> i have to say, i miss toffee ice cream. now i'm eating these instead. flaxseed whole wheat gluten-free crackers. >> reporter: some held. >> joy, i just got in from a pretty long bike ride. one would think i deserve a treat. right? well here's what's tempting me. cookies. gum. and i am missing it. >> joy, i'm really missing my red wine. this mug of tea is not cutting it. here's to two more days when i really plan to celebrate. cheers! >> reporter: but before everyone

cracks. >> it's day seven of the sugar detox and i'm down in the dumps. >> reporter: it's finally time to bring the sweetness back. >> is it over yet? because i'm about to -- i need sugar! >> oh joy. >> you guys did amazing. amazing. >> let's just see who actually lasted the ten days? >> not even close. >> dylan? >> i went on vacation. >> but you did a great job. you just splurged a little bit. you did great. >> and you two made it? >> i made it also. >> i massively fell off wagon or rolled right down the hill this weekend. but let me say i want to incorporate a more sugar-free diet going on. how will we do that? >> i have to show you something amazing. i want to congratulate everybody who has made it through this. this is the amount of sugar

after careful calculations that they have saved their body. in ten days. this is some 22 teaspoons a day. this is over 4 1/2 cups of sugar. if you want to look at the equivalent in terms of packets? 220 packets. >> wow. >> that puts it into perspective, huh? >> it does. >> it makes me think more. i am thinking more about the choices i make. >> that was what the sort of idea for detox was, to have a sharper eye as to how much sugar we are consuming in a day and to now be more selective. it is not so easy. the first thing is to think before you automatically pop something in your mart who are grocery cart. literally ask yourself do i need this. sometimes the answer is going to be no then you're going to take a pass. second thing that you can do is make a personal list of your nonnegotiable must-haves. we all have them. then you'll figure out how to cut back or moderate. for example, if you put two packets of sugar in your coffee

right now, let's move down to one packet of sugar. if you like an indulgent dessert after dinner every single night, give yourself three nights a week. and the other nights enjoy a frozen banana grapes or fresh strawberries. you definitely have to start reading labels. when it comes to labels there are a few things to know. first is for breakfast cereals, look on that panel and you don't want a brand with more than eight grams of sugar per serving. when it comes to nutrition bars and snacks processed snack packets, no more than 12 grams of sugar. when it comes to yogurt -- because yogurt already has some natural sugar in it no more than 20 grams. stick to serving sizes. if you eat double the amount doubles the sugar. you can do this! >> you were a great cheerleader. >> congratulations to the three of you. well done.

situation in winslow township new jersey. so you can see this is actually video taken from earlier where all lanes were blocked on route 73 northbound in winslow township at hayes mill road. four vehicles involved. a person trapped in a vehicle earlier. the emergency crews on the scene. so we can expect that to be closed or one lane getting by the shoulder for some time. also in philadelphia traffic lights are malfunctioning at the end of the ben franklin bridge westbound around 8th and vine. authorities in gloucester county looking for the cause of this fire at a business in south harrison township. skyforce 10 flew over the scene around 6:00 at route 45 and monroeville road. crews had to bring in the water with tankers. nobody was hurt. we're working to find out what kind of business is at this location. i'm rosemary connors. now back to the "today" show. have a good one.

into the great lakes area moving into the interior northeast. the plains will get back into the 90s. it stays hot in the pacific northwest. we are looking at 90s to over 1001 hun100 degrees. in the set of up to good morning. i'm meteorologist bill henley. what a beautiful day ahead. lots of sunshine, low humidity and a nice breeze that will be out of the west at 12 miles per hour. upper 70s and low 80s. a little cool for this time of year but that changes tomorrow. 87 degrees with a chance of some late day showers and thunderstorms tuesday, more likely to come through early wednesday morning. chance of showers continues right on into the weekend for the fourth of july and sunshine near 90 sunday. have a great day. >> and that's your latest forecast. dylan, thank you so much. fourth of july weekend is almost here but of course health never takes a vacation. >> before we head to the beach or pool dr. oz is here to quiz

us on summer health. we have no idea what he's about to ask us. we're deeply concerned about that. good to see you, sir. >> we're doing new shows all month long. i'll start off with myths. >> there will be a competition, a winner or loser. >> there is a victory lap when we're done. first question you should throw out your sunscreen at the ends of the year. can only use it for a year. >> true. >> true. >> how do you guys know that? >> just seems like something you would say. >> it's incorrect. it's false. >> really? >> yes. >> doesn't go bad? >> it does go bad but it takes years. here's the catch -- most people put a little dab of sunscreen on. you got to put a shot glass of sunscreen on. each of these bottles, you'll maybe use four times in a season. >> shouldn't last a year. >> but if you have a couple extra bottles, you can keep it to the next year even the third

year. if you're keeping score at home they both have zero. true or false -- a base tan is the smart way to protect your skin from sunburn. >> false. >> false. >> you both got that one right. base tans give you a measly spf of 3 or 4. when you look at people who drive cars they get much problems on the left side because the clouds block the heat but not the uva raise. you should wear sunscreen even on a cloudy day. >> true. >> you got that one right. >> good. >> we're neck and neck. >> bug bites. true or false -- the sweeter your blood, the more bugs will bite you. >> true. >> false. >> unfortunately, this is false. it's actually not the blood, it is the smell that attracts

mosquitoes. it is not your blood. what about the smells around you? cheeses? mints? perfumes which women wear frequently. bugs love that. here's a secret -- this is the antidote to mosquitoes. they hate grapes. >> really! >> they hate grapes. they don't like them at all. if you're going to have cheese maybe you should have some wine with it. don't know if that works. >> it is a good idea anyway. >> these are all the kinds of sweet things that bugs will enjoy. this is going to be the differentiators. true or false -- cotton swabs are good for cleaning the ears after swimming. >> false. >> don't tell him. >> no i'll go true. >> he just copied you. >> i know you're not supposed to dig in your ear. >> it is a very poor way of drying your ears out. take a t-shirt, put your finger in that and go like this. the reason your fingers are this size is you can't hurt your ears

with them. kids your eardrums are small, but a cotton swab is like a front-end loading muzzle. wax is actually sweat that makes it into your ear. last question. it all comes down to this. all the marbles. it is okay to eat 30 minutes before swimming. >> yes. >> you both think it is true. >> yep. >> you are right. it's true. >> you won. >> you guys tied. all the moms out there relax about this. you guys did very very well for your first health myth quiz. are people more intimate in the summer or winter? >> winter. >> i'm going to say summer. >> you win! we have a victory here! it all has to do with the hormones in our brain. we turn on melatonin.

>> reporter: it began as an interview about her new children's movie "minions" in which for the first time she plays a villainess named scarlet overkill. >> in the movie you are playing a villain. >> i am. >> for the first time. >> a villainess. >> how was that? >> delicious. nobody wants to be nice all the time. everybody's bad. we just wait for the cameras to stop rolling. unless you get caught or arrested. and i haven't been arrested. didn't have to think about that one. almost been caught. but you sort of want to keep these things on the dl -- down low. >> i'm thinking more -- >> about the down low? >> respect. power. >> bana that. >> banana! >> and it feels so good to be bad. >> reporter: there were no cameras for "minions," just

voiceovers. the movie about innocent little pill-shaped banana loving creatures. >> a banana! >> reporter: wreaking havoc around the world, a sequel to the hugely successful "despicable me" film. working in an animated kid's movie was the first for an actress who's starred alongside men on screen like brian reynold and george clooney. but she says she took the part because of one little man -- her 5 1/2-year-old son, louie. >> he's beautiful. he gives really sweet kisses. he's adoring. he's very honest with me about how i look. >> beautiful. beautiful. >> that's usually not what comes out of his mouth. but, no i have a great leading man. he's a good one. >> reporter: he travels with her to the uk and she says she'd like him to have -- >> you want me to come and help?

>> yes. >> help him with his accent? hello there. already louie is a bit of a performer. he loves to break dance, she says. have you taught him the dance from the movie? i think the move goes something like this. oh nice! nice! pop 'em up. very nice. look at you, cool guy, bustin' a move. can we get this in the wide? there's going to be a whole different feeling about you when this interview is over. >> you think? and from break dancing, the conversation naturally turned to hip-hop. and that is how we ended up rapping together. >> are you going to do it? >> yeah. are you ready? ♪ see i am wonder mike and i'd like to say hello ♪ >> reporter: for "today," keir simmons, london. >> keir's got a little flow to him, too. >> although when he did the rapping in an english accent it

kind of loses it. >> i feel like i almost learned more about keir simmons in that interview. that's adorable though. very cute. "minions" from our sister company, universe.n.niversealuniversal, opens july 10th. it daniel silva out with his new summer thriller. his fans cannot wait for this one. giada's also got some summer party food we cannot wait to taste. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

we are back now at 8:45. daniel silva has a new book "the english spy." it is a good one. daniel good morning. >> how are you? >> i'm doing great. 15th book now with this character. it never gets old. this one is just as exciting as the last one. we've got now a british royal, perhaps the most famous woman in the world, once married to the future king of england, killed

on a boat. some people are going to see shades of diana i think in this story line. >> that's okay that they should see shades of diana in the character. she doesn't have a name. she's unnamed. i borrowed from a couple of different members of the royal family to create her. but the real impetus for the beginning of the novel is the assassination of lord bat tonton in 1889. >> he's form ira, former russian intelligence. how much of current events do you look at when writing these stories? >> i'm a former journalist inspired by the world around me endlessly fascinated by what's going on in the world today and i do borrow a lot from what's going on behind the headlines. the inspiration for this plot is true that after the war in northern ireland, a number of very talented ira bombmakers

went out into the world and sold their expertise to the highest bidder. and unfortunately, one of the places they ended up was the islamic republic of iran and they built sophisticated anti-tank weapons that were used by hezbollah against the israelis and they also built sophisticated roadside bombs that found their way into iraq. it is one of the sad ironies of the iraq war that british soldiers serving in southern iraq faced some of the same types of bombs that they faced in south ireland in the darkest days of the war. >> one thing i notice in this book there is a new layer in gabriel's life. not just a father but a twin. >> i go big with that character. >> what's that mean for gabriel here? >> it means that the character -- the readers know in this series gabriel is an art store owner. all of books deal with restoration in some capacity. the series it turns out, deals

with the restoration of gabriel. when we first met him he was a lonely broken man who had just lost his family and now he is about to be a father again, he's married, he's a much happier character than when we first encountered him so it's been a long slow journey for him but he's back as a person. >> yet he can't resist the pursuit in this case. >> he doesn't like bad guys. >> no. we've learned that through 15 books. you as an author -- creature of habit is putting it mildly -- >> is this the part where you are going to make fun of the guest? >> no no. i think we'll let the viewers judge for themself. you have three different offices where you write but they all have the exact same furniture and layout. you wear the same outfit for writing. presumably youwash it periodically. >> my wife says i don't transition well so my desks where i work are identical. exact same desk same chair, same computer position same pencil holder.

and i just need to -- when i change i need to sit down at the same desk so it is a little weird, i know. it's only way i can deal with it. >> it seems to be working with you. >> it's okay. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> give my love to jamie and your twins. the book again is "the english spy." next a recipe you'll want to make this weekend. giada puts the finishing tumps on touches on her ultimate party food dip. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

yoplait greek 100. for when you just can't make it without a protein-packed, thick and creamy, power-me-up-with-something filling taste-bud-loving, satisfaction by the spoonful, deliciously fruity dinner feels a million years away grab and go, let's take on the world with 100 calories, snack yoplait greek 100. there are hundreds of reasons to snack on it.

we're back at 8:50. time for "today food." our ultimate party girl is here giada. summer season is full of celebration. we have the only dip recipe you will ever need. is that true? >> i think so. i think it's really good. >> let's do it. >> start over here for one second. i want to show you all the ingredients you'll need to make this dish. not too many. the idea is that basically you have a pound of shrimp. i know people sometimes feel like it is more expensive but this time of year it isn't really. you can find a lot of seafood by the lake. basically this is the sauce for buffalo chicken wings. little hot sauce, garlic cumin, shallots lemon.

this smoked paprika, so smokey and so good. this is one of the key ingredients. little bit of cream. goat cheese -- i know that's not your favorite. we'll get there. >> this is intimidating. i like to buy shrimp peeled and already deveined. >> a way to save a little bit of money is not to buy them peeled and deveined. having said that you can buy them mostly that way. but on vacation sometimes you can't. don't be afraid of the knife. it loves you, you love it and you control it. take the shrimp rip the legs right off. get ahead of yourself. peel just right off. see how easily it comes off? i like to leave the tail on because then i think it makes it more festive, also easier to grab the shrimp. >> honey, that's skin. see how easy that is?

>> that's funny. i learned something. >> then you take the knife. i start from the back. just run your knife just slowly down the pack. there you go. >> the goal is to take out this bark stuff? >> that's the goal. just slice that open. open it like this. >> i didn't slice that as deep as you can. >> you're fine. take that off. >> i'm not excited about touching that. >> you're not excited about touching the shrimp -- >> no. the stuff. >> sweetie, you change diapers don't you? >> yes. >> it is the same thing. >> well i love vail and i don't love this shrimp so much. >> the thing is that when you do it it you get in there. then open it. dump them in the bowl. then we make hot sauce.

>> love. >> over that. lemon zest. the whole thing. four garlic cloves. a little bit of vegetable oil. the olive oil can kind of overpower. a little salt. that's it. that's the whole marinade. let this sit for 15 minutes. >> if you want to marinate it longer is that good? >> you can. i put it in the fridge if you're going to marinate longer. 15 minutes can stay at room temperature. then you take these. go with me on this adventure. >> yes, they're marinated. >> nothing really changes other than the flavor. i already oiled the grill. just put them on the grill. >> these didn't take too long. >> make sure that the grill is nice and hot. which it is. you just do two minutes on each side. don't overcook them because they get rubbery. >> this is the dip. >> this is the dip! so dip. >> i'm listening.

>> are you listening? >> yes. >> you've got some shallots. i like shallots rather than onions they're sweeter. they won't overpower the flavor of the shrimp. then you use the cumin? it is nice and sort of -- it's very warming. like cinnamon is. some smokey paprika. toss it in here with a quarter cup of cream. i know goat cheese is not your favorite thing but once that comes to a little simmer you add the goat cheese in. >> i totally forgot about our mystery science theater down there. >> we're enjoying. >> is it good? >> listen great thing is you can make this sauce ahead of time and just warm them up. >> i like bleu cheese parmesan i like gruyere. you can also use cheddar. once these come off -- what i do

is basically since i don't have my tongs, you flip these two minutes on each side then toss them in a little bit of remaining hot sauce. that's it. >> it is really good! gang any sauce? >> it's really spicy but the dip cuts it. it's great. >> that's why you need creamy dips because the shrimp are spicy. >> you'll keep nbc 10 news starts now. good morning. i'm rosemary connors. it's just a few minutes before 9:00 on this monday. meteorologist bill henley is tracking some pleasant mild conditions this morning. bill? >> from the city to the shore we're seeing lots of sunshine. a few thin clouds have moved out and sunshine will warm temperatures at cape may to near 80 degrees this afternoon. a few people already taking

amy poehler, matt bessler, it is over 48 hours of non-stop improv in the city this weekend. i performed not for all 48 hours. it was a lot of fun. lot of rain. but it's people from all over country come and improvise. i was able to put on shows there and put on classes. so that's why this wristband is so important to me and i'm never going to take it off. i do feel like i escaped from oz. i'm free! >> what was the improv bit? do you remember? >> i did a bunch -- that's water, by the way. it is a marathon, after all. i did six shows. it's all a blur. the thing about an improv show is it never translates. when you talk about it afterwards, it's like, you had to be there. >> i got to sit down with amy,

post" -- blood sweat and cheers. after three weeks finally mpb lyly everybody saying thank goodness. richard matt was killed by police friday. david sweat was arrested after being shot 30 miles from the prison where he escaped. according to authorities authoritily after 3:00 p.m., new york state police sergeant jay cook called a hero by many was on his own, on patrol when he was a suspicious man jogging down the road. he was wearing fatigue pants. he recognized that it was david sweat and as sweat ran across an open field cook opened fire, hitting him twice to prevent him from reaching a heavily wooded area. now it is not known when or where the pair split up but sweat's dna was found -- this is an interesting detail -- on pepper shakers not far from where matt was killed. police are saying they believe

that the prisoners used the pepper shakers to throw off their scent for the dogs. the tracking dogs. >> does that work? >> i don't know. but that's pretty smart to think of that. >> imagine you're sergeant cook walking down a road by yourself. after three weeks of looking, wow there he is. >> all the cops came in and it was hundreds and hundreds of police officers descended. but to be the first guy there all alone and to see him coming -- running across the road toward you. pretty frightening. >> it's straight out -- you couldn't write this. it is insane. >> luckily had a good ending. >> there was another prison break over the weekend, a prison employee accused of helping someone else. this is going to set off a whole conversation of prison safety and what's going on in some of those jails. another story, this one on a much lighter, happier note.

>> i'm ready. my friends mig what do a nascar® driver... a comedian... and a professional golfer have in common? we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. 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. not this time. not with xarelto®. i'll have another arnold palmer. 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, you may bruise more ea sily 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, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleedin g, 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 tak e 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 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®. softer, smoother skin after just one shower? dove body wash with a breakthrough formula. just one shower gives you softer, smoother skin. my skin is really silky smooth. dove body wash. softer, smoother skin after just one shower. ♪ turn around ♪ ♪ every now and then i get a little bit hungry ♪ ♪ and there's nothing good around ♪ ♪ turn around, barry ♪ ♪ i finally found the right snack ♪ [ female

taking a look at the headlines. an important reminder for parents as temperatures go up this summer, doctors at vanderbilt university say the risk of heat stroke in children also rises. they say a child's body can heat up as much as five times faster than an adult. according to the group safe, an average of 37 children die a year from being left in a hot car. a new study suggests that the frequency of sex may be a factor in a man's risk of prostate cancer. the study presented at the american urological association say it doesn't necessarily lower the risk of dying from the

disease which is the second most common kind of cancer in men after skin cancer. doctors call the findings intriguing. it's getting tougher to find cars that are made in america. the annual cars.com, american-made index lists just seven vehicles with at least 75% of their parts made in the u.s. or canada. that's down from almost 30 vehicles just five years ago. it finds the most american made car to be the toyota camry which is made. kentucky and indiana and it replaces the ford f-series that now has 70% of its parts made domestically. jurassic world head on to the top spot at box office for the third week in a row taking in more than $54 million. just the fifth film ever to pass the half billion dollar mark in u.s. ticket sales. a reminder, as you head out to the wilderness this summer, keep your hands and feet inside

the vehicle. >> there's a bear on my car! oh my gosh! >> that's why you keep the hands and feet inside the vehicle. a family visiting yellowstone national park getting an up-close and personal view of the wildlife. this curious grizzly a little too curious gave the family a memory they'll never forget one. one of the children called the event the scariest thing on earth. i'm with you! let's get a check of the weather. dylan is in for al. >> good thing they have the windows rolled up there. we are looking at some heavier rain through northern florida right now. lot ever thunderstorms out over the gulf of mexico. we have stronger storms later on today like 3:00 4:00 this afternoon expected up through minnesota and northwestern wisconsin. also through the ohio river valley we could see stronger storms today. back behind it, it is very, very nice. temperatures summery in the 80s

and 90s. west coast we are dealing with those scorching temperatures. again 15 to 20 degrees above average. tomorrow most of the country is looking fairly quiet. hot and a little bit humid across the southeast. also looking for good morning. i'm meteorologist bill henley. what a beautiful day ahead. lots of sunshine, low humidity and a nice breeze that will be out of the west at 12 miles per hour. upper 70s and low 80s. a little cool for this time of year but that changes tomorrow. 87 degrees with a chance of some late day showers and thunderstorms tuesday, more likely to come through early wednesday morning. chance of showers continues right on into the weekend for the fourth of july and sunshine near 90 sunday. have a great day. >> and that's your latest forecast. even without their prison jump suits you might certainly -- hopefully --

recognize our next guests. they are the cast members from our favorite show, "orange is the new black" which chronicles the lives of women living inside a fictional upstate new york prison. >> joining us this morning, carrie "big blue" black, lorna morelaa, dara, and puce. ladies, good morning. we are so honored because we are huge fans. spoiler alert for those who are watching and binge watching the netflix series, we may give away some things here today. leah, what i find so fascinating as we learn much more of the back stories of all of your characters and yours is big boo is so topical right now, the supreme court passing gay marriage and all of that. i know for you, the story of coming out was something that was very close to home.

>> well, this story doesn't actually mirror my story of coming out that closely. it's just that if you're butch -- which look at me. i'm the poster child -- you have a shared life experience. i think that came out very well in the episodes. the difference being -- i had tension with my family because they were italian catholics but they learned. they grew to respect what i was and who i am. and learned. and i love them and we had a close relationship until the day they both passed. >> as natalie mentioned, this season we really get to dig behind the layers which is why i think the show has been so successful. we get to learn that there's more than what meets the eye. these women are behind bars, you probably wouldn't root for them but we find ourselves rooting for you. i can't stop looking at your body because you've been pregnant in that jump suit since

i met you. i kept looking at your tummy because your character has a real life moment with a baby and a lot of women behind bars experience that reality of being a mom but your child's on the outside. >> yes. which is interesting because we tend to not think of pregnancy in prison but it is a fact. it is something that does occur. i think the beauty of it is that she's learning as she's in jail. unfortunately, she should have learned before she was in jail but that was not her environment. it is ironic that she's learning her life lessons while she's in prison with her mother and realizing how she has to make her own decisions and take life seriously instead of a fairy tale. >> what's great i think about the show and the writing of the show, you see the relationships that the women have behind bars. karen you have a great relationship with big boo. you're almost like big

sister/little sister relationship. right? >> yeah. yeah. she's guided me. making better choices. >> helping her along. yeah. >> we don't want to give too much away. i needed closure. i watched like marathon binge watching. i said the last two episodes you will not sleep. this season really -- talk about religion in there. you talk about history of where these women have come from. your character rile le goes through some changes with religion. >> absolutely. think that everyone in prison's journey is all about survival and faith really comes into play when you're trying to survive in prison because you need something to hold on to, you need something to live for every day. so coming off of season two she's been a little beat down. i think she just needs something to hold on to, she needs something to live for every day and we see that mirrored in all of the prisoners.

but, yeah, she sort of gets mixed up in and funny like sort of cult thing it turns out. >> very strange story. >> but she had good intentions. >> on a girly note, natalie and i love to dress up, how happy are you to be out of the jump suit? i mean how good does it feel when you leave work you're like i'm out of that? >> i like it. it's like working in your pajamas. >> your character, you're all about the girly girl and having the hair and makeup. >> that's the funny thing. i guess i'm the least probably girly girl. i actually like the jump suit. i can eat lunch and it's not so restrictive. much. >> i'm totally a girly girl. end of conversation. >> i'm kind of like -- i don't know. >> the show is just amazing. the seasons get better and better. i just love the characters.

ladies thanks so much. the third season of "orange is the new black." streaming right now on netflix. go binge watch like we all have. coming up next, giada is putting ellie to work in the kitchen whipping up a main course that's going to set off fireworks at your july women talking about activia. when i feel bloated and my stomach is rumbling in the morning, it takes me forever to get dressed. i just like wearing a lot of black. i don't have the time to be gassy and uncomfortable, when i'm trying to get out of the house. those are the days you wear sweatpants. i love activia. that is so good. i eat activia every day. enjoying activia twice a day for 4 weeks may help reduce the frequency of minor digestive issues. feeling good, looking good. activiaaaa. my husband has been singing that to me for two weeks. ♪ ♪ ♪ you're unpacking already? yeah, help me find some mugs. sure.
