carson, second plabls at 19% that means more than half of the republican field right now is behind one of those two men. and a third of republican women support trump. that number is up double digits in a month, even as trump is under new scrutiny for comments about his only female opponent. donald trump under fire again, this time, for comments to "rolling stone" bottom republican bomb in the field, carly fiorina. look at that face, trump's quoted as saying while watching her on tv. would anyone vote for that? can you imagine that, the face of our next president? adding, i mean, she's a woman and i'm not supposed to say bad things but really, folks, come on, are we serious? late wednesday, fiorina said she viewed trump's words as very serious. >> maybe i'm getting under his skin a little bit because i am climbing in the polls. >> reporter: meanwhile, retired neurosurgeon ben carson chipping away at trump's lead in the polls, his i got a fever t-shirts released, carson is looking to draw a sharper contrast with trump. >> i realize where my success

o'donnell about whether or not clinton was right to apologize for her use of a personal e-mail server while secretary of state. >> well, i think she should have apologized a long time ago, but i think she has long beyond apologize, frankly. i think what she did is very dangerous for the country, very bad for the country and we will see what happens. but she has got problems. there's no question about it. >> as for their ran deal, the white house has already locked up the vote it is needs to stop congress from blocking the deal. still on wednesday, iran's supreme leader ruled out any new negotiations with what he calls the satan, the u.s., beyond the nuclear deal right now and he predicted israel would not exist in just 25 years. matt and savannah? >> all right, peter alexander thank you. a busy day of campaigning for democratic front runner, hillary clinton, as she deals with her own set of challenges including a new batch of troubling poll numbers. nbc's kristen welker is in ohio. good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning

to you. secretary clinton will be courting her base here in the battleground state of ohio and later today in milwaukee. both events aimed at women voters, a crucial voting block for clinton. and it does come amid warping signs for clinton. the latest quinnipiac poll out moments ago show bernie sanders now edges clinton 41 to 40%. sanders trailed clinton by 21 points the last time this poll was conducted. now, other polls have clinton leading. this is just one of several recent indicators showing sanders gaining strength and clinton struggling in the wake of her e-mail controversy. now, clinton is rebooting her campaign and aides tell me they want her to show more of her personality. so, that's one reason she is going to appear on "ellen" later today. at one moment, clinton dances and in another, she answers a question about her able. take a listen. >> saying if you are elected, you would be one of the ollest presidents elected, which -- does that matter don't we want experience more than anything? isn't that important? >> well, i think it's very

excessive force. blake told the "new york daily news", "to me, it's as simple as unnecessary police force, no matter what my race is. in my mind, there's probably a race factor involved, but no matter what, there's no reason for anybody to do that to anybody." blake says he hopes the surveillance video will be release $to the public and later today, he is giving a press conference to tell his story. guys, back to you. >> all right, stephanie, thank you very much. natalie is in now, she has got a powerful storm that hit this area overnight, causing a lot of damage. that's right. we are going to start with the video out of japan this morning, some dramatic pictures there after parts of the country were pummelled for a second day with torrential rain that sparked massive flooding. two people are missing and 170,000 people were evacuated. rescue helicopters flew over neighborhoods north of tokyo, plucking residents from the roofs of their homes. officials say they can't keep up though with all the pleas for help there. homes were washed away by

is being accused by some of making comments that may have instigated the attack. he is now on administrative leave and could not be reached for comment. >> whether or not the coach uttered any words that led the kids to believe that they could do what they did, it is not reason enough for those kids to have assaulted that referee. >> reporter: and there are player allegations that watts used racial slurs before he was attacked. his lawyer denies that and says the players should be punished for what they did. >> how can you say anything other than this was a heinous crime? >> reporter: despite reports that suggest otherwise, the texas body that governs high school football has not, repeat not, called for the team here to be completely disbanded. natalie? >> kerry sanderss in san antonio with a still-developing story there thank you,er canry. and life in the fast lane. take a look. here's skateboarding video that is getting tons of attention online. you can see why.

years old. but more than half the cases reported in people under 18 years of age s that a coincidence? >> not a coincidence. we always talk about the vulnerable groups being the elderly and the young and people with compromised immune systems. children are uniquely vulnerable though for a number of reasons. one is their small body weight and secondly, they are more likely to get diarrhea. also harder to pick up since of dehydration in an infant. >> you say most of these will resolve themselves. some don't. some can result in death. how do you know it's time to go to the hospital? >> just to review the signs of dehydration and general principles across all able groups would be a decreased thirst, dry mucous membranes, dry mouth, dry eyes, decreased urine output. the very old and young again, it is hard to tell. one pearl to leave you with is the color of your your rib. normal urine is light yell throw clear. once your urine becomes dark or amber colored it is a sign of dehydration. i would caution all people to call their family physicians for their guidance in terms of home instruction and when to be

bus, losing control. kids sent flying out of their seats, injuring all ten on board. tulsa, oklahoma, another bus swerving off the road. four students sent to the hospital. and just this march, six kids sent to the er in this crash in every care the bus didn't have seat belts. in fact, every year, kids are killed riding the bus. thousands injured. but most states don't require seatbelts. only these six states do >> i feel very strongly we should have seat belts on every school bus in the united states. >> reporter: janet fennel president of kids and cars. why aren't there saturday belts in most school buss? >> traditional thinking says that this idea of compartmentalization is the way to keep kids safe. the seat back is high it is very close to the seat in front of t and they are padded.

if the bus is hit from the front or the back, they should stay in this little comp part.. >> reporter: but she says when the bus is hit from the side or rolls over, these not enough. just watch this crash test video. these dummies don't have seat belts on. now, look at the dumb nation do. big difference. they stay in their seats. so, why don't all states require seat belts on buses? i went straight to the national highway traffic safety administration. would safety bells make them even safer? absolutely. >> odd big meeting about this summer and you just said, seat belts make school buses safer. will nhtsa regulate that? >> this fall, we are going to come out with some action and that could be inclusive of seat belts, very likely to be at the top of the list. witness. all due respect, nhtsa has been looking a this the for a long time. what do you say to parents putting their kids on buses today, they don't want to wait. >> you bet. and right now, putting them on

the big yellow school bus is still the safest way to get to school. >> reporter: so we are going to stay on top of nhtsa and federal government to fee there is action this fall and we will keep you posted on that. i'm inside the bus right now. i'm not sure you can tell the entire front is smashed in. school buses are some of the safest transportation there is and you can see they are meant and there is video of that crash we did live moments ago here on "today," the front is meant to crash in and protect the children inside. now i want to show you some of the video inside camera of those dummies and what happened at the -- you can see they get jostled around that girl goes right into the middle of the floor. if we come here live, a couple of the things country see, by the way, here's that girl, right on the floor like. this can you imagine that if that was your child? what you can't see is these accidents. look at the dents that it makes in the seat and the level of impact there. but once again, this is an important topic. critics say if you put seat belts on school buses, the kid does buckle themselves wrong who is going to make sure they do it right? it is a tough debate.

they are made, kids unseat belted, for a crash like, this the proponents of seat belts say what happens when you get the side collision or the tipover? i'm glad we did this and i hope it helps this morning, guys. jeff, we were saying as we were watching it here, our kids are all so conditioned to put the seatbelts on when they get in our car, we have good confidence two do it right if they got in the school bus? >> you wonder why it is not standard. i was talking to a parent yesterday who said that their 5-year-old daughter was on a school bus and actually came home crying because the mother had told her all those years, if you don't put on your seat belt, something very dangerous can happen. these kids get on the school bus, it there are no seat belts. >> my son is on a school bus every morning and just on the rough roads in new york, i mean, they get bounced around, let alone in an accident. >> great story, jeff. thank you very much. coming up on trending, the yoga mat that rolls up all by itself. and next, from the orange room, let's just say it appears carson has some explaining to

? a guy who two years ago was making some good music but overshadowed by his personal life. now, he has had his first number one single ever and people are taking him seriously. it's a grownup justin. fans have grown up with him and fan he is never had are dancing to these songs. >> good for him. >> fantastic. >> let's move to kanye west, a little sneak peek a few months ago with "four, five seconds." >> it has been three songs, giving us sneak peeks all year long, all day, only one, all of these songs feature paul mccartney. we think the album is called "swish," we think it is coming out this year, all signs point to this. and yet, kanye hasn't confirmed. after that amazing speech on the video music awards, i think people are more hungry for this than ever. and i don't know if you notice, we were just talking about congress before, a petition on the white house website demanding that the president order kanye to release this record. yeah. moderators took that one down.

so, obama won't have to address this issue. >> how about this english dance duo, disclosure and sam smith? >> yeah. well, it was recently announced that the three of them have collaborated on the theme to the next james bond movie but the first thing we have is oman, this song from the new second disclosure album, disclosure did so much to make that dance pop sound that justin bieber is working on now part of our lives and this record is -- looks like it is going to be the party tape of the season. miguel is on it. the weekend. lorde. guest vocalist. and the -- the disclosure duo worked with all those artists face to face in the studio, they weren't e-mailing tracks back and forth. so, expect a really human, cool-sounding record. >> fantastic. >> mclemore and ryan lewis. your song. >> downtown. >> yeah. >> downtown. >> this -- this will be an interesting record. we have heard two songs so far, one is a song for macklemore's new daughter, the other is

made a simple tripvere chto the grocery storeis anything but simple. so finally, i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your dermatologist about humira. because with humira clearer skin is possible.
