t was importt, that at is something i could do ay to help protect el of my teeth. amel is definitely helping t the life that want to live. good morning. terror in the air. u.s. officials now say it was likely a bomb that brought down that russian airliner and that isis may be responsible. the head of the airport where the plane took off, fired. we're live with the latest from egypt. what did they know? the wife and son of the illinois police officer who officials say staged his suicide to look like a police shooting, under scrutiny. as the investigators reveal the officer had been feeling for years. >> he went from a hero to a which will. >> this morning, where the investigation goes from here.

>> hey, hey, ho, ho, donald trump has got to go. >> hispanic groups protest nbc for donald trump's holding of "saturday night live," as the show yanks this online promo. >> because of equal time rules for television, mr. trump can only speak for four seconds in this promo. >> i'll say this, ben carson is a complete and toyota tal loser. >> he releases his first campaign ad. we'll talk to trump live. and show stopper. nothing like your love to get me high >> justin timberlake goes a little bit country at the cmas chltd . the performance that brought down the house, today, thursday, november 5th, 2015. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning, everyone.

welcome to "today" on a business thursday morning. >> the story of the russian plane crash becoming more troubling, with more information coming in in the last several hours. >> a lot of developments to get to. u.s. officials saying the evidence points to a bomb and isis may be responsible. the 224 victims are laid to rest today. we'll talk about the impact on security at airports here in the u.s. and around the world. we want to start with the investigation this morning and nbc's bill neely in cairo. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. strong suspicions and serious implications perhaps for all of us. u.s. officials saying they have information. they call it evidence. that points to terrorism as a possible cause of this crash, and points to the world's deadliest terror group. from the moment the first rescuers arrived, a bomb was one possible cause of the crash. investigators scouring for clues for six days.

evidence indicates it was likely a bomb. isis has twice claim it downed the plane. it's shown no evidence. it is active in the area, and u.s. officials believe if it was a bomb, isis may be responsible. it's a strong suspicion, not a conclusion, and no evidence of explosives has been found. but it's a suspicion shared by britain. >> we formed the judgment that there is a significant possibility that the russian aircraft was brought down by an explosive device on board. >> reporter: britain, one of three countries stopping all flights to the airport where the plane took off. american aircraft have long been warned away from this area. >> we obviously have a strong desire to get to the bottom of what exactly happened there. >> reporter: no one is ruling out a technical fault as the cause. the black box recorders are still being worked on. but the focus now is on the

>> a member of your terrorist team as an employee would be able to go anywhere. >> reporter: egypt and russia resent the u.s. and britain suspicions. nina was a 60-year-old grandmother and the first passenger to be buried. there is deep concern among u.s. officials, there's enough circumstantial evidence to suggest she was murdered in midair and wasn't the victim of mechanical failure. >> the egyptians really kicking back this morning. a government minister saying the u.s. theory isn't based on facts, but they fired the head of the airport from where the plane took off. investigators found lack security there. the russians, too, aren't accepting it. 23 russian planes due to land today at the airport. they've just sent in anti-aircraft war missiles to protect their planes in syria.

they think they are now a target. >> bill neely in cairo. thank you. >> still questions unanswered. the question we're asking is what does this mean for air travel in the united states? tom costello covers aviation for us. good morning to you. >> hi, matt. any time you have an incident overseas that heightens the awareness and concerns about security, u.s. officials s s and tsa and homeland security take note and try to apply any lessons they might take from what happened overseas. immediately, no change in security posture at u.s. airports. we should note that no u.s. airlines right now fly into or out of sharm el sheikh egypt. as bill mentioned, there's a notice the faa issued earlier this year, stating that if any u.s. car carrier overflows that area, it must be 65,000 feet. they were trying to avoid

very few, if any, airlines fly that region on a regular basis. with this intense scrutiny on the sinai, it's unlikely any of them will. in fact, i was checking one flight plan earlier this morning, and it is now diverting around the sinai completely in order to make a fly into dubai. we should note, however, that as you know, the tsa has been under tremendous scrutiny, especially in this week, because it failed yet again in a series of undercover tests in september to catch these mock devices. these mock weapons that were -- inspectors were trying to smuggle through. we've seen this repeatedly, where there have been problems at tsa checkpoints over the years. in september, this happened again. the tsa has committed itself to addressing those security lapses and trying to address the issue immediately. that is not in response to what happened over the sinai, but as you would expect, any time something like this happens overseas, homeland security takes a heightened approach to it.

>> tom costello, thank you very much. >> let's dive deeper into this. greg is a former ntsb investigator and kevin is a national analyst for nbc news. >> you have crash investigate ors on the scene, intelligence analysts figuring out that end of it. can these investigations go hand in hand, the crash and the forensics? >> they have to go hand in hand, matt, only because now while we were thinking it was an accident, now it looks more to be, basically, an intentional act, if you will. when they look at the wreckage, they'll have a different eye. they're going to be looking for residue. they'll be looking for markers, if you will, for bombs or explosives. >> heavily studying the security at sharm el sheikh airport, in terms of, could a passenger have smuggled something on board, or did someone with access to the plane do something like this? >> absolutely. the airplane, is it sitting overnight unattended? did somebody have access to it? did the catering crew bring

did the servicing folks get something into a portion of the aircraft? of course, people loading the baggage, did they put something behind a cargo hold? they'll be looking carefully at who had access to the airport during its time on the ground. >> let's turn to kevin for the national security implications. as u.s. officials zero in on the bomb theory, why is that? is it a process of elimination or a matter of going back, looking at the chatter, intelligence circles even before the crash, and seeing it in a new light? >> i think a little bit of both. the british announcing yesterday morning, definitely sparked a frenzy in washington and got everybody asking, why would they go more forward than the americans, saying, first, it may explosive device. then when the foreign secretary said, that's what they believe happened. i think there's cross-talk between the americans and the british, to figure out, like you said, going back in time, how

>> after the crash, isis said, we did this. people didn't think it was possible. do u.s. intelligence officials think isis has the planning and capability to get a bomb on board, ow r might they have had tep help? >> i asked james clapper if they had the ability to shoot down an aircraft. he said it was unlikely but he wouldn't rule it out. most officials are focusing on this video that isis put out, that's shown up, of what looks like to be the plane in the air exploding. if someone was in place ahead of time to film that, that's as much of a red flag as you can find. >> significant piece of evidence, for sure. thank you so much. there's a new twist this morning tied to the shooting death of a beloved police officer in illinois that investigators say was actually a carefully staged suicide. lieutenant gliniewicz's wife and son are also under

investigation. nbc is following the story. good morning to you, john. >> good morning. another stunning development in many. it appears investigators want to know if lieutenant gliniewicz's secret life was a family affair. >> reporter: this morning, the news that the wife and oldest son of lieutenant charles j. gliniewicz, known as g.i. joe, are reportedly under investigation, is another shock for residents. >> my gosh, g.i. joe went from a hero to a criminal. >> reporter: two months ago, gliniewicz had a hero's funeral. he taught kids about law enforcement. now, investigators say, for seven years, he stole from it. >> thousands of dollars were used by gliniewicz for personal purchases, travel expenses, mortgage payments, personal gym memberships. >> reporter: investigators released startling new details

about how gliniewicz faked his own crime scene. placing his pepper spray, baton and glasses to disguise his suicide as a death in the line of duty. gliniewicz, who had experience staging crime scenes, even fired a shot into his cell phone and bullet proof vest before the fatal shot into his upper torso. authorities released text messages they say show gliniewicz feared his crimes would be discovered. this text, this situation right here would give her the means to crucify me if discovered. gliniewicz's wife and son are under scrutiny. they said they'd accord cooperated with the task force's investigation. >> the most emotional experience of my life, and the only way i could express it is to say it

>> the 100 club of chicago is a civic group that supports families of first responders who die in the line of duty. they gave an initial payment of $15,000 to the gliniewicz family. now, for the first time, they want their money back. matt, savannah? >> john yang, thank you very much. >> a story that's been turned on its head. now, to the presidential race. republican donald trump is trying something new on the campaign trail, as he gets ready to host "saturday night live" this weekend. it's courting controversy. we'll talk live to mr. trump in a moment, but first, peter alexander has more. good morning to you. >> good morning. we're under 90 days from the iowa caucuses, and donald trump system officially hitting the airwaves in iowa and elsewhere. the billionaire spending his own money, $300,000, to get his message out. >> reporter: fighting to fend off his strongest challenge yet,

in this campaign, is paying to be heard. >> if the people of iowa vote for me, you'll never be disappointed. i don't disappoint people. >> reporter: trump's new radio ads debuting in early contest states. >> i don't feel the need, but a lot of people want me to do it. we're leading in new hampshire and all over. >> reporter: after securing his name on the new hampshire ballot, trump teed off on the new front runner, ben carson. >> ben cannot do the job. you know what? he's very nice and some would say, that was a nasty -- look, i don't care. >> reporter: sparking a backlash, trump's hosting gig on "saturday night live" this weekend. latino groups protesting outside nbc's new york city headquarters, delivering a petition, demanding nbc and "saturday night live" revoke his invitation. racism is not funny. >> because of equal time rules for television, mr. trump can only speak for four seconds in this promo.

is a complete and total loser. >> reporter: nbc later removed the ad. carson declined to attack trump when reporters told him about the "snl" promo. >> i discovered when i was in grade school that those tactics really are for grade school. >> reporter: meanwhile, trump is also taking aim at marco rubio. >> marco rubio has a disaster on his finances. cards. >> reporter: rubio is facing scrutiny about how he used a state party credit card when he was a florida legislature. two years of credit card statements haven't been disclosed. >> if there was something personal, i would pay it. if it wasn't, the party paid it. >> for this weekend's "snl," car sob carson said he won't watch trump host. he wouldn't if he was asked. he said, i don't like making

phone. mr. trump, good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah. ads. they're just out this morning. i'm assuming you would not waste your money on ads if you didn't feel you needed to. does this show you're feeling tightening? >> i don't think so. fox came out with their poll last night, a big one, and i was substantially in the lead. i'm leading in almost every poll. but i will tell you, i've had heat because i haven't spent money. it would be nice if the country could do that. i've spent no one and i'm number one. others spent tens of millions and they're doing poorly. it would be nice -- honestly, wouldn't it be nice if we can do that with education, where we spend more per pupil than any country in the world and we're in 28th place. i wanted to do the ads. i'm putting them in iowa and south carolina and new hampshire. you know, hopefully, they're going to be good ads. it's time for he me to advertise a little bit.

>> ben carson has momentum in these polls. he tops some and you top others. he said your attacks on him is grade school bullying. >> he's referring to the "saturday night live." he said he'd never do it. of course, he would. they didn't ask him to do it. "saturday night live" is a special thing. it's like being on "60 minutes." i was on "60 minutes" a month ago. there are iconic brands, iconic things. he'd do it if he was asked. every president probably you can think of, and many of the candidates, have done it. but i don't think they'll ask him. i know if they did ask him, he would do it. >> let me ask you about that. as you are perfectly aware, there are latino groups outside protesting nbc and "snl" because you are hosting this weekend. are you surprised that "snl" asked you to host after there was this split with nbc back in the summer? why did you accept? >> it wasn't so acrimonious. the "apprentice," they renewed with me for 28 sessions. they wanted to do it but i decided i wanted to run for

president. i wanted to make the country great again. i told steve burke, a fantastic guy at comcast, i'm going to run. they renewed the "apprentice," but i decided i couldn't do it because of the time. miss universe, there was a problem, to be honest, and i ended up buying their interest. then i sold it to img, the whole thing. it worked out amazingly well for me. there's no problem whatsoer with nbc. now, the reason they put me there is a simple reason. ratings. if i didn't get ratings, they wouldn't put me there. >> you were critical of marco rubio and his handling of his own finances, suggesting that the way he's handled his personal finances perhaps is a good way to determine how he might handle the country's finances. my question to you is, does that invite scrutiny of your own business record? you talked about using the bank rescue loss strategically in the past. here's the bottom line, if a

company is doing well, is healthy, robust financially, why do you need to use the bankruptcy laws? >> i'm no different than many of the people that you have on your show. the world. we all do it. we use the laws of the land. i've had 500 companies of different kinds, and over the years, i've used it three or four times, as has -- i could name people. why should i name them. you have the list. virtually everybody you write about has used the laws over the years corporately. i never went bankrupt, but corporately. frankly, i've made a lot of money using the laws. i've also bought a lot of things out of bankruptcies. i pick out things in bankruptcies and end up buying tremendous pieces of land, bankruptcy. i've used the bankruptcy laws, which are the laws of the land, for, you know, corporately. i could name the biggest names in business, and they've almost all used them. i mean, so i have had no backlash on that. as far as the rest, i built an

unbelievable company with some of the great assets of the world. everybody knows that. i made my filings and everybody was shocked at how big it is. they didn't think it was as big as it is. they were shocked how incredible the company itself is. i'm honored by it. i've been a public book. you've been covering me, you and matt, for a long time. i've been a public book. >> we have indeed, and mr. trump, we'll see you in a different role this saturday on "saturday night live." thank you for your time. >> thank you, savannah. former president george h.w. of the key fight ure ht figures in his son's administration, including dick cheney and donald rumsfeld. >> the yes critiques are in a new biography biography. he said dick cheney became different from the one i knew and worked with. >> for rems felt, umsfeld, he said, i

poorly and had an iron blank view of everything. he was an arrogant fellow. >> on the topic of gay marriage, personally, i believe in traditional marriage but people should be able to do what they want to do without discrimination. the biography is scheduled for release next week, already making headlines. only once in every 1,000 years do rokerthon and no shave november come together at the same time. it's happening now. al is about to take off on an epic journey across the country. al, where are you, liberty national? airport. we are at the united terminal, can't wait. we'll tell you about that. there is a bigger storm system getting together. it's going to be making its way across the country. look what it did in denver. this is thundersnow. it's snowing and thunder and lightning.

rise up october rally in new york. >> when i see murder, i cannot stand by. i have to call the murdered the murdered, and i have to call the murderers the murderers. >> i was referring to eric garn ner garner. i was referring to tamir rice. that's what i was referring to. >> reporter: since then, the biggest advocacy groups called for a boycott of his upcoming film. >> got room for one more? >> reporter: los angeles police chief says he specifically takes issue with tarantino's use of the word "murderer," telling nbc news, i take the word "murderer very seriously. i hunt murderers for a living. i've lived with murder my whole life. adding, a homicide that occurs during a police use of force is rarely a murder. the rally tarantino attended took place four days after nypd

when you talk, text, stream music or videos, they emit waves similar to a low-powered microwave oven. >> it's over minutes over years that we believe can cause a great problem for children and the rest of us, as well. >> reporter: cell phone providers say they follow all guidelines put in place by the fcc. they work with labs like this one then to test your device. the current fcc safety standard was developed nearly 20 years ago. the test in california starts by taping a phone to the ear of a plastic head. the size of a 200 pound man, it's filled with liquid. the fluids used in these tests best replicate the same head. scientists are able to determine how much radiation penetrates the head when you're talking on the phone. the robotic arm moves to various hot spots on the head to test

the specific absorption rate. the phone we tested was within the fcc allowed radiation limit, but critics say these standards are outdated. they urge the federal agency to adopt stricter radiation guidelines. current fcc standards do not account for the unique vulnerability and use pattern specific to pregnant women and children, warnings the american academy of pediatrics in a letter to the fcc. >> children are not little adults. the skull is thinner. also, the volume of the brain is less, compared to a 200 plus size man. >> reporter: the u.s. government accountability office asked the fcc to reassess the exposure limit. in particular, the radiation limit when you have your cell phone close to your body, like in your pocket or when you hold it directly next to your head. or as some teens do, sleep with it on their pillow. >> phones are transmitting radiation so long as they're committed to the internet and connected to the wi-fi.

your phone, your phone is talking to the tower. >> reporter: critics of the fcc's current guidelines give this simple advice to all consumer. use the speakerphone or an ear piece, and remember, distance is your friend. keeping a phone even a few inches off your body reduces exposure several thousand times. for "today," miguel, nbc news, california. >> health agencies from other countries recommend limiting a child's exposure to cell phone radiation. the fcc says, quote, the u.s. has among the most conservative standards in the world. as part of our routine review of the standards, we're soliciting im input from experts, including federal health agencies and

my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. pnot only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, t but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding v than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. pdon't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. peliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. pdon't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. pif you had a spinal injection while on eliquis pcall your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. pwhile taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... pand it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. pseek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. peliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. ptell your doctor about all planned mecal or dental procedures. v eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. v plus had less

major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. how you doing? hey! how are you? where are we watching the game? you'll see. i think my boys have a shot this year. yeah, especially with this new offense we're running... i mean, our running back is a beast. once he hits the hole and breaks through the secondary, oh he's gone. and our linebackers and dbs dish out punishment, and never quit. you didn't expect this did you? no i didn't. the nissan altima. there's a fun side to every drive. nissan. innovation that excites.

>> it's all a matter of perspective. >> daniel craig, welcome back. good to see you. >> good morning. how are you? >> great. women's hearts will flutter watching you as bond in the new movie. men's hearts will flutter watching this aston martin 10. >> it doesn't exist in the real world. they designed it for the movie. >> is the story true you wrecked a bunch of them? >> a few. >> what's a few? >> three or four. >> can i get one of the damaged ones cheap? >> no. but you can, if you're feeling flush, go bid on one. we're going to raise money for charity. >> it is so smoking hot. did you have fun with this? this has all the bells and whistles. it has the toys, the incredible, stunning locations, the stunning women, the threat to the world. is it a classic bond film, or is there something different here? >> i think it is a classic bond film.

we set out to celebrate what james bond is about. at the core of it, there's a great story. there's a love story. past. we discover a little more about him. but we wanted to just throw the kitchen sink at it and have fun with it. >> is the idea you try to push the envelope with each of the movies but stay true enough that it's familiar to long-time fans? >> you can't ever forget it's a bond movie. that's the deal. as far as i'm concerned, as long as you remember that, everything else is on the table. you can do -- you can still have characters that have a reality to them and react with each other in a real way. it's a james bond movie first and foremost. >> everybody makes a lot about the man that plays james bond. i always felt that bond is as good as the villain he faces in the movies. >> mm-hmm. >> cristoph waltz plays a fantastic villain. what do you need to know about

>> that it's cristoph waltz. >> what else? >> we drew up a list of people we wanted to play this part, and his name was at the top. he agreed to do it. he offers so much, as far as a villain is concerned. he's also a brillian yan liant actor. >> james bond movies over the years, they keep up with the times. you can't have villains with cold war plans for the world in 2015. this is very much about the information age and >> yup. >> the preponderance of what's his plot for the world? what should we know about that? >> well, he is trying to bring together the intelligence sources of the world, but not in a good way. he's trying to bring them together, and he's trying to get at his -- get the most amount of information so that he has control of the world. it's a kind of clash of old world and new. with bond, he always does have a foot in the past.

to go in the field and wants to look the enemy in the eye and wants to do this. what cristoph and a new character we have in here, they represent the blanket surveillance and drones and things like that. >> let me get to the comments you made that got a lot of attention. >> please, do, yeah. >> in an interview, you were asked about bond. you said, quote, i'd rather break this glass and slash my wrists. no, not at the moment. i'm overit it at the moment. we're done. i want to be done. put it in perspective. i read it as, this is an incredibly grueling process. when it's over, you've got to think about something else. >> i think when you're asked -- sam put it eloquently last night, more than i did in the quote. if you're 200 yards from the end of a marathon and someone runs up to you and says, are you going to run another marathon? two words you use, right? >> not on a morning show.

that's what that was about. i've had massive amounts of fun making this film. i mean, probably more fun on this film than all the others put together. the simple answer at the moment is, i don't think about it. i don't want to think about it. i want to think about other things. i want to go home. >> hypothetically, if it's the last one, are you happy with the mark you've made on the franchise? >> i couldn't be happier. i've had a wonderful, wonderful time making these movies, and maybe i'll make another one. i don't know. you're fantastic. >> thank you very much. >> i want that car so badly. i don't want to bid on it, but take it. >> it doesn't work like that. >> we'll catch up with your co stars in the next half hour.
