latest for us. chris, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning to you. the scene here far different than what it was just a few short hours ago. protesters remained on the streets into the wee hours of the early morning following the shooting of an african-american man that police say was armed and dangerous. but family members say was disabled and carrying nothing more than a book. chaos erupting overnight in charlotte, north carolina. after a 43-year-old black man was fatally shot by police at an apartment complex. >> we got shots fired. one suspect down, legacy court. all officers 10-4, one suspect down. >> reporter: authorities say officers were trying to serve a warrant to a different man tuesday afternoon when they encountered keith lamont scott, who they say was armed. >> as they engaged him, he was armed with a handgun we found on

the scene as well. made some imminent threat to them. because of that, at least one of our officers fired rounds at the subject, shooting him. >> reporter: news of scott's death spread quickly, sparking protests near the site of the shooting. >> no justice, no peace. >> reporter: demonstrators faced off with police wearing riot gear. >> why do you have a gas mask? >> reporter: clashing with officers. >> they're jumping on top of cars, stopping traffic and they have got the entire intersection blocked. we're going to need units down here, really quick. >> reporter: members of scott's family told local news outlets that he was not armed. instead they say he had been clutching a book while waiting to pick up a child after school. a woman who's been identified as a family member of the victim had this to say. >> he didn't have no gun. he wasn't messing with nobody. they jumped out their trucks, they said hands up. he got a gun, he got a gun. pow, pow, pow, pow.

that's it. >> reporter: officials say at least a dozen officers suffered nonlife-threatening injuries during the protest. now, that was a street sweeper that just came by a few moments ago cleaning up some of the debris, the rocks and the bottles left over from the overnight protests. now, the police officer who shot scott was identified tuesday afternoon -- tuesday night, i should say, as brentley vinson, the two-year veteran of the department who is also african-american. has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. back to you. >> chris clackum down in charlotte for us this morning. thank you very much. another big story we're following, federal terror charges have been filed against the suspect in those bombings and bombing attempts here in new york and new jersey. this as his personal journal reveals much more about a possible motive in the case. let's begin our coverage with nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer. good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah, good morning.

that new criminal complaint says the fbi began watching ahmad rahami the day after the first bombing. it says that he was worried he would be captured before he could, quote, carry off his jihad. this as he faces new criminal charges. today ahmad rahami is charged with using weapons of mass destruction in the bombing of public places. new details emerging from his criminal complaint. the fbi says rahami began ordering materials to build bombs in june, buying some items on ebay under his own names. the day of the bombings rahami drove himself into manhattan through the lincoln tunnel. the ied injured approximately 31 people in new york. one victim had to have multiple ball bearings removed from her body. after a shootout with police, investigators say they found a bullet pierced journal on rahami

killed with anti-american sentiments. the government continue your slaughter against -- he also praised osama bin laden and anwar al awlaki. the journal ends with god willing, the sounds of the bombs will be heard in the streets. gunshots to your police, death to your oppression. tuesday rahami's father, mohammed, confirmed he spoke to the fbi in 2014. a neighbor told police mohammed called his son a terrorist after ahmad stabbed his brother in a fight. he said he was just angry and had no reason to think his son was a terrorist. with the officers rahami is accused of wounding now rye leased from the hospital -- >> how are you feeling? >> i'm feeling like i got shot in the head. i'm glad to be alive and glad to be home. >> reporter: investigators are

looking into his frequent visits to pakistan and afghanistan. he got married and his wife was granted a visa to enter the u.s. overseas she's been questioned by investigators in the united arab emirates, denying any prior knowledge of the attack. >> we have nothing to indicate at this point that she's involved. >> reporter: this morning a clearer picture of the suspect. one investigators paint as anti-american and ready to kill. the criminal complaint also says rahami watched jihad videos from his social media account and added that a family member took cell phone video of him inside his backyard using incendiary devices. back to you. >> all right, thank you. nbc news analyst juan serrati served as a national security advisor under president george w. bush. good morning. >> good morning.

>> we talked about this question whether he acted alone or had help. we're 24 hours further into this right now. based on what you heard or read, are you moving in any direction on that? >> it's clear that there's more suspicion around the family, especially given the information about the video taken at the hom two days prior to the attack which seems to be some sort of test of the incendiary device. that raises questions whether the family knew more than was suggested and certainly suggests as we talked about yesterday that this was not a hermit terrorist. this is an individual still living with his family and not hiding his views in some ways so there are more questions no doubt for the family both abroad and here at home. >> as you say that, we know there was tension between the son and the father. knowing about unusual activity is different than helping someone. >> absolutely right. we've got to be very careful about that. but no doubt authorities are looking very closely at the family relationships. matt, as we've seen over time,

these terrorists even if family members aren't aware sometimes have social networks of some sort that are su pouring their cause. so we have to be careful about the lone wolf narrative and mythology because often these are individuals that do have some degree of support. >> we now know, juan, that there was contact with this individual in the sense of talking to the family members after a report about a domestic violence incident, checking databases, the fbi said it did an assessment, which is less than an investigation. the fbi never spoke to rahami himself. understanding that it is easy to have 20/20 hindsight, does that seem like an oversight now? >> well, given what's happened, it does. it seems like talking to him would have been helpful, perhaps checking into his travel records more deeply would have helped as well. the fbi in some ways is whipsawed, though, because they are charged with not only trying to prevent attacks but they also

have to protect constitutional rights. their guidelines require them to close investigations and these preliminary investigations if there is not evidence that raises suspicions. so they can't just keep lists of people that are potentially problematic. they have to have a reason for that and that really binds what the fbi can do. >> juan, thank you very much. >> thank you, matt. we move to politics now. 48 days till the election if you're counting and hillary clinton will deliver an address in orlando today laying out her plan for what the campaign is calling an inclusive economy. >> donald trump is holding a rally in toledo, ohio, one of the battleground states he's visited most since securing the republican information. our latest data shows clinton outspending her rival by a 5-1 margin. to date the clinton campaign poured more than $96 million into ads during this general election.

trump's campaign just over $17 million. peter alexander is here in new york covering it all. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you. we're now just five days away from that crucial first presidential debate. this morning donald trump is fighting back against tough new questions about his charitable foundation and whether it violated laws that prohibit nonprofit leaders from using charity money to benefit themselves or their businesses. under scrutiny again this morning, donald trump's charitable foundation. new york's attorney general, a democrat, telling nbc news he's looking into whether trump used money from the charity to pay for his own legal settlements. "the washington post" reporting trump spent $258,000 to settle various lawsuits. that includes a deal with a golfer who made a million dollar hole in one during a charity tournament at one of trump's courses but later settled for $158,000 because of a rules dispute. that payment reportedly coming not from a business or personal account, but from the trump foundation. >> instead of those businesses

paying money, trump had his charity pay money. that's against the rules if you use your charity's money to pay off debts your businesses have incurred. >> reporter: "the post" also reporting this 4-foot tall portrait of trump was purchased with $10,000 of charity money. overnight the trump campaign responding, accusing "the post" of getting their facts wrong but not identifying a single example, adding there was not and could not be any intent or motive for the trump foundation to make improper payments. >> i mean honestly, places like afghanistan are safer than some of our inner cities. >> reporter: mocking hillary clinton for taking a day off the trail, tweeting sleep well, hillary, see you at the debates. in fact clinton spent the day working, hosting a counterterrorism call with national security advisers. meanwhile donald trump jr. is still under fire for a tweet comparing refugees to poisoned candy. an analogy he's made before. >> if we had a bowl of skittles

on this table and three of the thousand were poisonous, would you take from the bowl? >> reporter: twitter igniting with outrage including this photo of a young syrian refugee. mike pence responding with nbc's kelly o'donnell. >> i think what's insensitive is to turn a blind eye to policies that are very likely compromising the safety and security of the american people. >> reporter: the campaign blame the firestorm on people who would rather be politically correct than safe, praising don jr. as a tremendous asset. ironically according to the bbc this morning, the british man who took that original photo, that image of the bowl of skittles used in donald trump jr.'s tweet was himself a refugee. matt and savannah. >> thank you. we told you about those violent demonstrations in charlotte overnight. protests are also growing over yet another fatal police shooting, this one of an unarmed man in tulsa, oklahoma. janet shamlian is there.

janet, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning. these videos have touched a nerve well beyond tulsa. they are sparking frustration and anger all across the country. and now this morning for the first time, we are hearing the officer's side of the story. protests in tulsa, as a wave of outrage grows this morning over the death of terence crutcher. >> why is he being treated like a criminal when he's done nothing wrong. >> reporter: videos of the unarmed father of four with his hands in the air being shot by officer betty shelby stirring anger. from the campaign trail where hillary clinton tweeted this should be intolerable. and basketball player dwyane wade posting we must show our strength as a black community more. >> shots fired! >> reporter: crutcher was tasered by one officer and shot by another. for more than two minutes, no one goes to check on him. he died later at the hospital. >> it's pure devastation. >> reporter: his twin sister,

tiffany. >> the excessive force and all of that is just uncalled for when someone's hands are up. and that's what happened. >> reporter: this morning, officer betty shelby's side of the story from her attorney. >> she became concerned about him reaching for his left pocket, despite being commanded not to. >> reporter: according to a report in the "tulsa world" citing the lead investigator on the case, a vial of pcp was found in crutcher's vehicle. crutcher's family says even if that is true, it's no justification for deadly force. >> this was an unjustified killing. the position of the family is resolution on this matter. >> reporter: unlike what we saw in charlotte last night, the protests here have been peaceful, but they come amid calls from terence crutcher's family for charges to be filed against that officer. matt and savannah. >> janet, thank you. now to an attack on an aid convoy in syria.

it has led the u.n. to suspend all aid deliveries there. the obama administration is now blaming russia for the bombing. here is nbc's bill neely. >> reporter: good morning, matt and savannah. there have been more bitter exchanges between the u.s. and russia over this, one of the worst incidents of this long war, the destruction of that aid convoy. here in syria today, not a single piece of aid has got through to the hundreds of thousands of people who desperately need it. aid convoys have been fired on before in syria, but never like this. food, clothes and medical supplies for 78,000 people targeted. aid workers killed. it was hit just 30 minutes after the latest cease-fire ended. >> more than 20 vehicles, 20 trucks -- >> reporter: u.s. officials have told reuters that two russian warplanes were above the convoy at the exact moment it was hit. the white house blames russia.

>> there only could have been two entities responsible, either the seyrian regime or the russin government. >> reporter: russia says it didn't do it and claims syrian warplanes can't fly at night. moscow concedes it was tracking the convoy with a drone and blames this rebel vehicle carrying a heavy weapon. the u.n. says it knew the area wasn't safe but alerted everyone to the clearly marked convoy. >> if this attack was deliberate, it could well amount to a war crime. >> reporter: more air strikes are now killing and injuring and a merciless war is dragging on. while it may be difficult to prove who did this and reports this morning of another attack on a medical clinic here aleppo killing four workers. rebels blaming an air strike. the cease-fire here is history. matt, savannah. >> bill neely, thank you.

mr. roker here with a first check of the weather. >> there's some severe weather in the upper midwest and flood watches involved. you can see heavy thunderstorms moving between minneapolis and green bay. flood watches in effect today. six million people. rainfall rates 1 to 2 inches per hour. there's a risk of strong storms from omaha, minneapolis, all the way to debuiubuque. we could be looking at hail, some ind wiwind, even a risk fo flooding. we are talking about areas picking up 3 to 4 but locally up to 6 inches of rain. with the ground saturated from heavy rains, we could be looking at flooding.

. 7:30 wednesday morning, the 21st of september, 2016. you wave hello and we'll wave hello right back. good morning, nice to have you along. >> good to have everyone along. let's take a look at some headlines right now. fatal police shooting in charlotte sparks violent protests overnight. at least 12 officers were injured. fires were set on an interstate. tear gas was used to disperse the crowd. the demonstration came hours after they were searching for a suspect. >> at this point all we know is they're in the apartment complex parking lot and this subject gets out with a weapon.

they engage him and one of the officers felt a lethal threat and fired his weapon. >> the officer who opened fire is on administrative leave as that shooting is being investigated. federal terrorism charges have now been filed against ahmad rahami, the man accused of the weekend bombing attacks in new york and new jersey. the fbi has interviewed rahami's wife in the united arab emirates. she claims she had no knowledge of her husband's plans. hillary clinton returns to the campaign trail after taking tuesday off. she has events planned in florida, while donald trump will be holding rallies in the state of ohio. today's campaign moment, a tweet from donald trump that turned internet users into historians. he said hillary clinton is trying to steal his idea of holding rallies in front of airplanes. here's what he tweeted. do people know hillary is copying my airplane rallies.

in fact, however, politicians have been doing this for decades. twitter dug up and posted numerous examples, everybody from president obama, mccain, kerry, bush, reg an, kennedy. one tweeted out a photo of eisenhower doing it back in 1953. >> so there you go. >> there's the campaign moment. now to the breakup that a lot of people are talking about, angelina jolie filing for divorce from brad pitt. this morning both actors are speaking out about the split. natalie is out in los angeles with more on this. natalie, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you, matt. in the world of a-lists, brad and angelina were in a league of their own. but after 12 years and six children together, brangelina is no more. on monday, just weeks after their two-year wedding anniversary, angelina jolie filed for divorce from brad pitt. in court papers obtained by nbc news, she cited irreconcilable

differences and asked for sole physical custody of the couple's six kids with pitt granted visitation. she will always do what's best for her children. >> brad and angelina both came into the marriage with very different ideas of parenting. over the years they would tell people one of them was very strict and the other was very soft. and so parenting, it's safe to say, a pretty intense negotiation at times. >> reporter: the couple last spotted together in l.a. in july met in 2003 on the set of "mr. & mrs. smith." >> on a scale of how happy are you as a couple? >> 10 being perfectly happy and 1 being miserable? >> reporter: when pitt was married to jennifer aniston. both denied allegations of an affair. >> do i need to defend that i'm a decent woman? i sure hope i don't. i know i am. >> reporter: three adopted and

three biological children later, the couple finally tied the knot in 2014, jolie painting a picture of domestic bliss to tom brokaw. >> it was just a feeling of security and comfort that we always had but that recommitting after ten years of being together, not because we had to but because we were absolutely sure we felt that much of a family. >> reporter: but recently rumors of marital strife. tabloids allege pitt abused drugs and alcohol and had an extramarital affair. >> both sides say there was no truth to rumors that there was infidelity or substance abuse. brad made it really clear that his focus is on the kids. i think he's very worried right now about his access to the kids. >> reporter: actor and friend of the form el couple, george clooney, reacting in an interview with cnn. >> it's an unfortunate story about a family. i feel very sorry to hear that. the first i've heard of it.

>> reporter: jolie is not seeking any spousal or child support. we'll have much more on this coming up on "access hollywood." >> lisa bloom will look into this for us. >> a little queasy to talk about this, to be perfectly honest, because nobody knows what happened over than those two and perhaps their kids. also, lisa, isn't it true that a lot of information that comes out in initial divorce filings is put there so that leverage can be gained either to get a settlement or to gain some advantage in court? >> absolutely, that's very common. however, in miss jolie's defense, she's not asking for spousal support or child support, just sole physical custody of those children. >> let's talk about that. is that unusual? with the typical disposition be you share physical custody and share legal custody, is it something over and above the

normal to say i am entitled to sole physical custody of my clients. >> this is how the case is going to turn out. you're going to get 50-50 legal and physical custody. you're both going to share the important decisions about the kids and you're going to get roughly 50-50 time with the kids unless, unless there is abuse or new governor-ele neglect and that's not alleged here. a short cryptic statement we have from ms. jolie is she feels this is in the best interests of the children. >> do we know about prenup? >> we don't know. it would shock me that a couple with this level of earnings does not have a prenup but a lot of people go into marriage without one. >> they have been married two years, legally married. they were together about a decade. when you start looking into the division of assets and you're trying to do a divorce proceeding, do you look at that whole period of time, the ten years, or just the time of the legal marriage? >> when it comes to the kids,

the legal marriage is irrelevant. they both are the parents and have rights to visitation and custody. when it comes to property, marriage is very significant. all of the property gained during the marriage will be split roughly 50-50 unless there is that prenup. >> we keep talking about the kids, the kids, the kids. there are six children here, and i think for their sake we have to be very careful about what we say. >> and from all they say, they want what's best for those kids. let's get a check of the weather now from al. >> well, we are looking at some really warm weather to talk about as we get into the latter part of the week. widespread warmth with fall starting thursday at 10:21 a.m. tomorrow. look at these temperatures over the next several days. it will be in the 90s in st. louis, upper 80s knoxville, d.c. the upper 80s, jacksonville upper 80s and as we get out west, here's where the chill comes in. here's where we start to feel a little bit more fall-like. look at these temperatures, seattle will be in the upper 50s, billings upper 50s, low 80s

but you squeezed your employees to the breaking point so they would cheat customers and you could drive up the value of your stock and put hundreds of millions of dollars in your own pocket. >> that was senator elizabeth warren during a hearing yesterday ripping into the ceo of wells fargo bank over the bank's admitted opening of unauthorized accounts. >> that was yesterday. today all eyes will be on another executive also in the hot seat. this time it's the ceo of the company that makes the epipen.

tom costello has been covering this story and is on capitol hill this morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is all the more awkward because the ceo's father is a united states senator from west virginia. but she is expected to tell congress the reason the epipen is so expensive is because of the money they put into redesigning the epipen and the company has no plans to cut the price. perhaps the most scorned ceo of the year will today face the scorn of congress. >> no one is more frustrated than me. >> reporter: so far only once has mylan's ceo faced tough questions on camera over the dramatic price increases for the epipen, going from less than $100 to more than $600 just as her compensation took off. >> you're making $18 million a year. you understand how that looks. >> brian, look, i understand better than anyone that facts are inconvenient to headlines. >> reporter: and this morning more bad headlines.

we're back. it's 8:09. a new series in the 20-year-old murder investigation of jonbenet ramsey is getting a lot of attention these days.

>> joe fryer has more. what's going on? >> reporter: first the o.j. simpson story inspired a new crop of programs, now the mystery surrounding jonbenet ramsey's murder is getting a lot of attention on tv with two programs drawing two very different conclusions about what happened. this morning, the ramsey family attorney is fighting back, promising to file a lawsuit against one of those shows. as the 20-year anniversary of jonbenet ramsey's death draws closer, the unsolved case is generating a wave of renewed interest and controversy. on cbs a two-night series called "the case of jonbenet ramsey" brought together a team of investigators, including the chief investigator for the boulder district attorney at the time of the murder. they spent months digging into the evidence and conclude with a theory point a finger at the girl's 9-year-old brother, burke. >> i think burke was upset with circumstances or christmas presents, he probably would have been upset about her trying to snag a piece of pineapple.

after anger he may have struck her with na flashlight. >> i think we all agree on that. >> yes. >> yes. >> reporter: that theory is drawing the ire of burke's attorney who plans to sue for defamation, something he did successfully more than 15 years ago. in a statement he said no fair-minded person can condone this false and heinous television attack by cbs on a young man for ratings and profits. in response, cbs says it stands by the broadcast and will do so in court. >> i did not kill my daughter, jonbenet. >> i did not have anything to do with it. >> reporter: the ramseys have always maintained their innocence and burke was exonerated by authorities in 1999. still, with the anniversary looming, knowing so many tv programs would surface, burke wanted to get his story out. he broke his silence for the first time during an interview that aired on "dr. phil." >> there still are people that believe that you killed your sister. >> yes.

>> what do you say about that? >> look at the evidence or the lack thereof. >> reporter: earlier this month in a documentary on a & e called "the killing of jonbenet, the truth uncovered," experts offered another theory that dna evidence points to an intruder, not someone from the ramsey family. >> i think the unescapable conclusion is that an unidentified male committed this crime. as soon as there's a hit, he will be nailed and that will solve the crime. >> reporter: bottom line, nearly 20 years later, no solid answers and still a number of conflicting theories. the boulder police department says the case remains open and a couple detectives do still receive information on a regular basis. back to you guys. >> joe fryer, thank you. let's take a turn now. al is here with a check of the weather. >> let's see what's happening. we've got the ghost of julia still hanging off the east coast, remnants of payne pushing moisture into the southwest and some strong storms firing up

near minneapolis and just to the west of chicago. could be some airport delays later this morning. afternoon highs 90s into the mid-section of the country from the gulf coast. humidity levels high here in the northeast so it will feel even warmer than the 80s that are predicted. those strong storms, possible flooding from minneapolis, minnesota, all the way into central wisconsin. some showers along the central florida coast. look for that rain lingering in the southeast and some gusty showers through the southwest. that's what's going on around the country. here's what's happening in your neck of the woods.

>> and that's your latest weather. savannah. >> thank you so much. let's find what's trending today. let us start with the awkward moment in the wake of the brangelina news. how sad will you be not to say brangelina anymore? you know what, getting that out of the vocabulary is hard. george clooney just happened to be at the u.n. when the story broke so it fell to cnn's richard ross to ask him about it. >> it's a big story. you're friends with both of them. your thoughts, any thoughts, she's a humanitarian, angelina, and your friend brad. >> what happened? >> they're divorcing. >> i didn't know that. i feel very sorry. that's a sad story and unfortunate for a family, an unfortunate story about a family. i'm really sorry to hear that. first i've heard of it.

>> our hearts go out to richard ross here. first of all, he had to ask clooney about it. clooney clearly hadn't heard the news. also he is a seasoned correspondent, covers the wars in iraq and afghanistan, the berlin wall and then he finds himself having to ask -- >> in an unenviable position. >> and he did it well. >> who it was more awkward for actually. >> hearts go out to both. >> was it wednesday? all right. so you've always asked what is the happiest song in the world. you've always asked that. >> i've wondered. >> now we have an answer to that question and it comes from science. researchers at the university of missouri studied 126 songs from the last 50 years and came up with a specific formula. yes, carson, an algorithm that took into things like beats per minute, lyrics. what's the happiest song in the world? '"happy" by pharrell. >> i am so sorry, no, it's not.

any other guesses before we get to the answer? it was "don't stop me now" by queen. >> what? i don't even know that song. ♪ >> what? >> what do you mean what? that is the happiest song in the world. >> you've got to be kidding. >> why is the happiest song in the world making al so happy? >> what's your happiest song in the world? >> "wake me up before you go go". >> my changes every week but the song "me too," -- >> what's your happy song? >> i go with "rubber band man" by the spinners. i love that, it makes me smile. >> what's yours, savannah? >> well, i like that coldplay song "adventure of a lifetime."

>> carson? >> "beautiful day" by u2 always makes me feel good, happy. >> 126 songs in 50 years? >> it's a new algorithm, okay? >> what an odd number. >> the algorithm is very picky. they say there's nothing sweeter than a mother's love. that was on display yesterday during a baseball game. here is the orioles first baseman making his major league debut and, yes, his first hit is a home run. look at mom. look at mom. she had the best reaction. the shock, the disbelief written all over her face. by the way, she's a lifelong orioles fan so of course that makes it even better, and she got to keep the ball. so cute. >> she was a little too surprised like she didn't believe her son could hit it out. >> always looking for the dark side. we're going to start with the first lady, michelle obama.

stephen colbert's guest last night and shared her impression of her husband. have a look. >> malia will start it because she usually asks the serious question. dad, tell us about your day. and what about that conversation on global warming. and barack -- sasha and i are like oh, god, no, don't get him started. and he said well, i'm glad you asked that. let me just -- let me just answer that in three points. one, and then 1a and then 1a and b and sasha and i are like, oh! >> mrs. obama also joking that her husband loves to hear gossip at the dinner table because, quote, he has no life, end quote. her words, not mine. all right. and to one hotel guest, rather unusual celebrity request. he reserved a room in california and his girlfriend loves jeff goldbloom so he asked that the

room stash photos of jeff all over the room. he was kidding. but when the couple got to their room, look at what they found. photos of jeff goldbloom were everywhere, in the bathroom, by the bed, next to the phone, all over the room. the man and his girlfriend were indeed shocked but thankful for the incredible customer service. >> why didn't i think of that? >> there we go. finally to "the voice." we've got some pretty good talent this year but the coaches will obviously stop at nothing to woo some of the artist to their team. miley cyrus using her godmother, dolly parton. last night blake shelton an artist who likes reggae music was leaning towards adam but blake brought up somebody close to his heart. >> maybe wondering how i can help you -- >> i'm wondering how you help him. >> i do have some serious connections in that reggae ska world these days. >> really? really? you're going to do that?

>> yes, really. >> i think i'm going to have to pick blake over you. >> yes! >> i'm not afraid to say that i blade the gwen stefani card. i mean, hey, if you've got it, you've got to use it. >> that's right. and it worked. >> best season yet. this one of "the voice" is really awesome. >> good job, carson. >> thank you. now to our ongoing series called cutting the fat today. we've tackled restrictive diets and high intensity workouts. this morning a look at fitness trackers. >> a lot of people wonder how accurate are they. our national correspondent decided to try them out. jeff, good morning. >> hey, guys, good morning to you. so many of us trying to hit that magic number of 10,000 steps every day. whether it's your smartphone counting your steps or a fitness tracker you wear on your wrist like this one, we expect them to get it right, down to the step, down to the calorie, but are they really?

calories. fitbit 67 cal reese, more than triple your number. the garmin was the highest, saying i burned 78 calories, nearly quadruple what i burned. >> the trackers are designed to motivate and encourage healthy lifestyles. garmin adding the position on the wrist matters if multiple devices were worn at the same time and whether it's on your dominant hand. go for a walk, go for a jog but don't expect absolute precision from your fitness tracker. back to you devise. >> who wears a fitness tracker here? >> it comes with the ipod. >> on your wrist? >> huh-uh. >> you get the prize for the most steps. >> debra got me a treadmill desk so when i'm at my desk, i'm walking. >> so how many a day. >> between 15,000 and 20,000. >> that's just crazy. >> i'm trying to walk 10,000 steps a day and it's hard.

80s for the suburbs in the lehigh valley. and as the temperatures warm up, the humidity will be coming down. lingering clouds in new jersey, especially at the shore where we will be mostly cloudy and 70s this afternoon. but wilmington will see 85 degrees while the clouds linger for rehoboth beach. have a great day. >> don't forget, go to weather channel on cable weather.com. today sirius xm channel 108, the sirius xm host. there you go, let's head back inside. >> i like that love is in the air. now to our special series "brain power," a look at how your brain could be making it harder for you to lose weight. >> maria shriver is back with us again. >> nice to seeing you all again. many people feel their eating habits have a personal flaw. now a new study of the brain may

offer them some relief and could explain why some people can't better control their eating. for myrtle green, food is her best friend and worst enemy. the 5'4" mom weighing up to 240 pounds, her overeating a compulsion. >> he started like, oh, god, did i eat that whole box of cookies? i actually blame myself because i felt like i didn't have willpower to stop or pull away from the table. >> but now new research suggests obese people's love affair with food may not be caused by lack of willpower but because their brains are wired differently. >> this study took four years. what's the word you would describe when you saw the results? >> shocking. >> in her study at the university of texas southwestern, dr. nancy pusaferi compared how the brains of 15 lean women responded to food versus 15 obese women like

myrtle after both had eaten an identical meal and reported being full. >> so these are the areas of the brain that receive that information about what's ple pleasurable. >> once the lean women were full, their brains showed no interest in food but brains of the obese women still lit up. >> it says if they haven't eaten at all, their brain is still revved up and driving them to eat. >> the doctor then followed her obese subjects through weight loss surgery. six months after thinning down, she found their brain responses to food actually changed, looking more like the lean women's. but a year after surgery, their brains returned to craving food, even after the women were full. >> their brains started shifting back to their old stance. >> their old obese brain, so it started becoming their enemy again. >> yes. >> possibly explaining why it's so hard for obese people to keep

weight off long term. myrtle, who was also in the study, lost 50 pounds with her surgery and says her yearning for sweets initially stopped. but a year later, they came back. >> i noticed that i still have the lust after certain foods. >> what is the message to people who are struggling with their weight? is it now that you have an excuse, sit back, it's okay? >> i think it's know that it's difficult. don't expect it to be anything but difficult. you can still lose weight, it's just going to take a tremendous effort. >> myrtle says knowing her brain is wired this way empowers her to take control. exercising more and weighing herself daily, to combat her mind's natural impulses. >> i must acknowledge that those brain patterns are there and with that knowledge work through it to do better. >> exactly. researchers still don't know why

the brains of some obese people are wired differently. is it genetic or does becoming overweight actually cause your brain to change? doctors hope to develop medicines to counteract these brain changes so they can actually treat obesity as a disorder of the brain, much like they do depression. that's where the doctor is saying is the future. >> i think this is really good because there are some people who write this off and look at someone who's extremely overweight and say that's a willpower issue. but this looks right at biology. >> the doctor was saying when people would come in, they would say to her there's something in my brain, my brain is different, which is why they did the study. she said it turns out they're actually right so she's hoping people will be more compassionate. >> it's so fascinating. you think of everybody on that yo-yo diet and now it totally makes sense. >> she's saying don't use it as an excuse but for all of us to have a little bit more compassion. >> i love this series.

>> can we show the picture of you guys from 35 years ago? >> no, no, no, no. it's like 10 years ago. we both look exactly the same. >> i look exactly the same and he has more hair. she said he was making a move on me. >> i did say that. >> lit up my brain. >> go to today.com. >> it was 35 years ago. coming up, jill's "steals & deals" on some of the hottest products of the season. first, this is "today" on nbc. katie mcginty: franny, johnny, mikey, maureen, jimmy,

back now at 8:46. you know the saying you are what you eat? research now shows you can actually take that literally. so if you want to improve your health, what should you be snacking on and what should you avoid? dr. frank lipman is the best-selling author of "the new health rules." doctor, great to have you here. >> great to be here. >> i have problem at airports. i eat junk stuff, chips, chocolate bars. you said you could help me get much healthier with three basic steps. >> absolutely. >> the first is eat fermented foods. >> right. fermented sauerkraut, some

fermented black tea, fermented vegetables. >> what is it about the fermentation process that makes you healthier? >> these give you the good bacteria that help your gut. so we now have this term the microbio, all the bacteria in your gut. we used to think bacteria are bad for you. but most of the bacteria, especially in your gut, are good for you. they help you make vitamins that crowd out the bad guys and good for your immune system. >> how often should we eat them? >> one serving a day. >> can i have the hot dog with the sauerkraut? >> if you take the roll away, yes. >> we've always been told to eat green leafy vegetables. you want us to eat stalks and stems. >> the stalks of the broccoli, the stems. those feed those good guy

bacteria we talk about. that's fertilizer for the good probiotics. most of us cut those off. eat them. they're good for your body and good for the bacteria. >> in some ways you almost have to eat some of these with fat? >> great question. so if you don't put fat on these vegetables, like olive oil or you put some avocado in your salad, a lot of the nutrients in these vegetables are not going to be absorbed because they're fat soluable. >> but not butter, you're talking olive oil. >> good fats. fats made by god, not by man. >> you also say we should all know our numbers. what are you talking about? >> the numbers that i'm talking about are there are lots of indicators that are poimportant for health, but the two most important for health promotion and disease prevention are your vitamin d level and hemoglobin

a1c. it's a much better measure than the fasting blood sugar. one in three americans are prediabetic so that's an epidemic. if you're prediabetic you're more prone to type 2 diabetes, cancer, and even alzheimer's disease. >> vitamin d, 58-year-old man, how much vitamin d should i be consuming? >> that depends on your level. your level should be between 50 and 80 which is much higher than we used to think was normal. so it all depends on your level. have your level checked. increase your vitamin d levels if you need to. >> so fermented foods, stalks and stems and know your numbers. >> exactly. >> doctor, thank you very much. just ahead, we're going to catch up with america ferrera but first this is "today" on nbc. i'm really good at war. i love war in a certain way.

class people. and our cast, if you can see, is so diverse and that allows us to kind of talk about anything because we're not picking sides or saying what's right and wrong, but we discuss everything from plan b to open carry gun laws to planned parenthood and we just do it in a funny way and it's not really about preaching so much as mining the humor of so many different people's views of the same issue. >> you said you have a long list of things you watch. >> yeah. >> what's on your list? >> that's on nbc. >> narrow it down. >> am i allowed to say "game of thrones"? i'm a big "game of thrones" fan. and what else? i binge stranger things. >> you actors geek out with each other? >> i do, definitely. >> it's fun, i saw you at the emmys.

good morning. i'm pamela osborne. let's get you right to your first alert neighborhood weather forecast with meteorologist bill henley. >> pamela, temperatures are climbing in spite of some clouds. we're seeing enough sunshine in center city to warm temperatures into the low 70s right now, and we're on track for the low 80s by early this afternoon. some scattered clouds, even in the lehigh valley, but mostly sunny skies this afternoon. near 80 at 11:00, into the 80s

this morning on today's take, what both sides are saying about the shocking split. and america ferrara takes us inside "superstore." al and i go to the ballpark. all that and more, coming up now. >> announcer from nbc news, this is today's takes with al roker, tamron hall and billy bush live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. welcome to "today" on this wednesday morning, september 21st. billy, al, tamron. we've got two others -- >> very special people. >> my parents are here today. >> love is in the air. >> for those of you who are

possibly devastated over the brangelina breakup, there they are. 48 years and going strong. >> love does live. exactly. for the people out there like myself when we got the brangelina news. >> my mom is going it does? >> your dad is quite the dapper dresser. >> like the bow tie? >> and the suspenders. >> and he has a great profile shot there. so yesterday when this news hit, tamron is in the middle of msnbc. she's sending me texts on commercial breaks. i can't believe what's happened. al was inconsolable. i believe he wouldn't come out of his room. >> you know, i just feel badly. >> you feel badly? >> here's the deal. and i understand the interest in this. but if you have been unfortunate enough to go through a divorce and one with children involved, and i have done that, you know, you just worry about the children, you worry about -- and to do it in the public eye is difficult. >> listen, i'm a kid of divorce.

i've never been married but i'm the product of a divorce. my parents remarried other people. my mother went on 27 beautiful years with my dad, clarence newton. so i think we recognize these are human beings. the flip side, they're hollywood stars. and their marriage has been a point of fascination since the day they got together, allegedly on a movie set when he was still with jennifer aniston. so they get it. that's why they talk to the media about it. they sold their pictures of their children for a great cause, the wedding dress. they have allowed us in to some degree. >> it's interesting that they say -- she filed and says irreconcilable differences and her attorney says she's doing this for the health of the family. then her manager says she will always do what's in the best interests to protect her children. these are code words to me that seem to suggest that they're not safe with him -- >> or to be legal language to

get -- we don't -- that part we don't know. >> i'm saddened by this and then other things. there's reports about too much drinking and this and that. those are tabloid rumors at this point. nobody really knows what's going on. >> that doesn't stop us from talking about it. >> well, listen -- >> or the world. >> i think here's the deal. i think all of those things you set aside. you don't know. the allegations are -- when the news broke that they were apart or are divorcing, i was in a newsroom filled with mostly women and they all went "no!" they had a reaction. so we can talk about whatever high brow, the bottom line is people reacted to it. >> i'm not being high brow, i just -- >> i think men and women might be in different camps here. i'm wondering if guys are like, holy mackerel, you wouldn't believe what was going on last night. my wife, i told her and she said what? it never works out, and she hung up the phone on these people. hello? are you still there?

>> i think women fell in a couple of categories. there were some women like myself like what about love, can love ever survive? others took team jen. some of my friends instantly went jen aniston got her revenge, others were like team angie. it fell into this category both at work and in my personal relationships. >> are women more o'i think women, it seems to me from what i've heard and the conversations i've had are not as pro-angie as i thought they might be. >> i think because how it started. the rumors of how they started. you know, no one wants to be cheated on. certainly you don't want to be left standing there if your significant other or spouse allegedly cheats. i just felt like can love just survive. i just -- but if it's unhealthy, if it's unhealthy, you've got to get out. >> how about clooney now. we all assume unless it's a match made in hollywood that clooney and brad pitt are the tightest of buddies. clooney is at the u.n.

yesterday, he's there for a roundtable with president obama on the refugee crisis and he gets hit with the news, complete low blindsided. >> you're friends with both of them. any thoughts? >> what's that? >> the whirlwind on angelina and your friend brad. >> oh, what happened? >> they're divorcing. >> i didn't know that. >> she filed. >> i feel very sorry. that's a sad story and unfortunate for a family, an unfortunate story about a family. i'm very sorry to hear that. the first i've heard it. >> he's like -- i think also his orientation. you're at the u.n. and you're like, wait a minute, what? the orientation of it, you can't get your grounding. >> he left hollywood to go to the u.n. but hollywood did not leave him. it went with him. but i mean, geez, you thought they were great friends, he would know. he probably got on the phone and called. a lot of people took it lightly.

mashable compiled a bunch of tweets on the theme love is dead. check out this twitter poll, love is dead. >> these are the options, love is dead, love is dead. jennifer aniston, word is brangelina is done. jennifer right now, hollywood. that's terrible. that is awful. >> she no matter what can never escape this triangle. >> and this is the other one. jennif jennifer an aniston is like #brangelina. and that is what we call closure. i saw them out at a restaurant and they are a stunning couple. there was this energy and i watched how he was escorting her through the door and just those gentlemanly touches. it's real life for them but that

does not stop people from talking about it. >> where does it go from here? this could be the ugliest thing in the world. >> or they could work it out, you know. >> it's sad for the children. how long has this been going? it seems to me no one has heard about any -- heard anything about it. >> the last picture one of the magazines had ten weeks ago they were out with one of their children. what's also fascinating is they have a blended family and i believe brad pitt actually adopted the children she had prior to their marriage, which was maddox, pax and zahara. does that change the legality of it when you have kids that you adopted before and then you have your own children that you had once you were married. i don't know how all of that works and does that impact their situation. they have only been married also for two years. they were together ten. i always wondered did marriage freak them out because they had been together for ten years. and then they got married per their children's request.

she said in an interview on "today" actually. so did that have a psychological effect. >> she's an interesting character. i remember i interviewed her before she met brad, this is after billy bob. and i said you have maddox now. what do you do about introducing maddox if you start dating somebody, do you bring that person into the house and let maddox have an opportunity to get attached? she said, no, i'm not bringing anyone home, i'll just take a lover. i'm like what? i said what do you mean? i have friends and we'll just meet at a hotel for a few hours and then i'll go back. i was like, wow, she just shared that right out in the open. >> but she's been very -- from when she became famous and remember the lip lock with the brother, the vials of blood with billy bob thornton, she is not a demure creature and doesn't seem to hide who she is. >> no secret to "mr. and mrs.

smith." that's a great movie. up next, amy schumer spars with magazines once again over their covers. this is very interesting. the instagram photo that is blowing up the internet. and it's the nbc comedy that's been called funny and razor sharp, just like its star, america ferrara. we'll talk to america about "superstore" and her night the things that i consume on a daily basis, a lot of it is very acidic. the enamel on my teeth was actually weakening. the whiteness wasn't there as much. my teeth didn't look as healthy as others. my dentist said that pronamel would help fight against that erosion that foods and drinks were causing. so it was really important to start using the pronamel. it'll be one less thing you have to worry about. pronamel is now giving me the confidence to know that i'm doing the right thing. so it's nice to know that it's as simple as that. ♪ all natural ground beef.rying

yeah, that's right. there's only one way to know how good it tastes. try it at walmart's low prices. we invited women to a spa to dish soap. body wash. you may not feel it, but some body washes can contain cleansers found in dish soap. dove body wash is different. it has only the gentlest cleansers. it just made me feel good. this is dove. maybe... the skate park today? you can make it gr-r-reat! ♪ kellogg's frosted flakes gives you the sweet spark to go all in and let your great out. they're gr-r-reat! you may be muddling through allergies.oned with... try zyrtec® for powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec® is different than claritin®. because it starts working faster on the first day you take it. try zyrtec®. muddle no more®. people say, let's just get a sandwich or something. "or something"? you don't just graduate from medical school,

"or something." and we don't just pull smoked chicken, bake fresh foccacia and hand-slice avocado. there's nothing "or something" about it. what are you doing up? mom said i could have a midnight snack. it's not even midnight, it's ten forty-three. well, let's have a ten forty-three snack. quietly, though. okay. yeah. mmmm. shhhh. the family favorite. yoplait. what do you call yogurt that comes in amazing flavors and packs 6 grams of protein per serving? yoplait original. for four years. you named it brad. you loved brad.

and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends, three jobs... you're like nothing can replace brad. then liberty mutual calls... and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement™, we'll pay for a car that's a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. we're back now with more of "today's take." >> remember a few days ago we talked about the new, most interesting man in the world and the other person, when he retired he went off to mars. >> they shot him off in a rocket. >> we thought what happened to him. is she stihe still around, is h

alive? jonathan goldsmith was the original actor. well, i happened to get a gift from the most interesting man in the world. >> from space? >> yes, from space. >> well, he's obviously in the viewing area. >> he sent it on this lovely stationery. >> it looked like it burned in space. >> it's old school. he said i hope your colleagues see me as more than just man candy and perhaps ms. hall will reconsider only enjoying my company for a day. >> he's in space. >> so he says i heard you spoke of me on your morning television program. first off, i appreciate your admiration and i thank you. however, i must address your preposterous hypothesis suggesting that i'm dead. i'm afraid you're wrong, i'm very much alive and he's enclosed a case of dos equis but also sent me this lovely calendar compass during a visit during a monsoon. >> how is he watching us from

we are back with america ferrara and her hit show of course is "superstore." it returns for a new season tomorrow night. how fun is it to work on -- we have an ensemble show here. you had an ensemble cast. how does that feel? >> it's the best, it's amazing. everyone on the show is so different, so unique. comes from such a different background. a lot of comedy people on the show. mark, colton dunn, who comes from the comedy world, lauren ash, mico santos, he's a stand-up comedian. so on top of fabulous writers, everyone is a comedian improving and i'm a little outside of my

comfort zone because i'm an actor but getting to play with them feels like just playing in the big leagues. they're amazing. >> we actually have a clip. this is the fake ad with cloud nine store. check it out. >> it's back to school, mom brand kicks. >> when school starts, your friends will say cool, your sneakers aren't any brand. >> which means no one will steal them. >> same goes with our backpacks with a nonspecific beaver cartoon everyone will love. >> and these cell phones look totally generic. try making fun of that. >> as this guy always says, who cares what he says, he's not a real character. >> so go back to school in cloud nine nonbrands. >> i love that take. >> that one didn't take that long. we did a full day of shooting those fake commercials, which we had fun with. i get all these tweets like america is doing walmart commercials. no, pay attention, it's a tv show. >> how soon before we start to see cloud nine stuff? >> i know, right, that would be

great. >> that would be so terrific. >> it's called a vertical. but the key to the humor in "superstore" is a lot of sitcoms you see, you know, it's aspirational, you see this beautiful community and they live in this wonderful house. these are folks that are a little lower down on the socioeconomic ladder dealing with real issues and you guys take on all kinds of stuff. pay inequality and you do it in a funny way. this is smart. >> it's very smart. and we ended season one with sort of a surprise walkout. my character has been on the job for ten years. she's not looking for things to change, but things happen and she just gets so fed up. and surprises herself by leading the employees in a walkout. that's where we ended season one. season two begins with us on strike. and so for a lot of people it's almost like a documentary, surprisingly. >> because you've been very vocal. you've got your t-shirt on which i'm coveting. tell me where you got that

shirt. >> and she wants to know where you got the dress. >> i'll trade you. >> you want people coming up to you and saying this is my life. >> totally. >> you guys represent us. >> totally. that's what excited me about the show. i remember growing up watching comedies about everyday people. you know, roseannes and cheers and where everyday person's life had humor and was valued. and i think, look, i'm first in line for a big blockbuster aspirational show or film, but there's room in television for the point of view of everyday working class people to be smart, to be funny, and to be dimensionalized. we have working class and poor people and giving them a voice on television represents a lot of people who feel voiceless and we do it in a fun way. that's what i love about the show. >> so we pick up with a protest, a rally, a taking on of

corporate by you an jonah, your character. >> that's right. >> how does that go? >> well, you'll have to watch. >> america, thank you so much. america ferrara and you can catch the season premiere tomorrow night, 8:00/7:00 central on nbc. up next, al and i take a little trip to the bronx for a snack showdown, #vendor wars at yankees stadium. a little friendsy competition. who do you think won this? >> it's a tie. >> it's a tie. each year 17 billion toilet paper tubes are used in the us alone. that's enough to fill the empire state building...twice. now there's scott tube-free bath tissue. get the premium softness you need... ...without the wasteful tube. toss the tube for good with scott tube-free.
