>> reporter: hillary and bill clinton back together friday night trying to seal the deal here in iowa. >> thank you, davenport. >> reporter: this comes as the state department released 1,600 e-mails from her private server as secretary of state. this time holding 22 documents as top secret. state department officials weighed in on friday. >> none of this traffic was marked classified at the time it was sent. >> reporter: the clinton campaign is calling on the state department to make the e-mails public. >> this is an example of overclassification run amok. >> reporter: nbc's lester holt interviewed secretary clinton shortly before the news broke. >> why should the public worry about this hanging over your head? >> there was never any information sent or received marked classified to me. >> reporter: despite making an issue of the e-mails.

of hearing about your damn e-mails. >> reporter: the campaign has yet to escape the controversy and this could hurt for monday's caucuses. she is running neck and neck with sanders in iowa, who friday night, focused on rallying his supporters. >> i believe it is our campaign that is generating the excitement and the interest for a large voter turnout. >> reporter: at the drake diner in des moines, voters had opinion. >> does this hillary clinton e-mail matter? >> yes. i feel it is a skeleton in the closet. >> i don't think it will have that big an effect. >> reporter: in a statement released late last night, sanders again reiterated he is not interested in the e-mail issue. he is interested in the issues that matter to voters. both candidates cross the state today. eight events between them.

joined by gabby giffords. erica, back to you. >> kristen, thanks. the gop candidates wasted little time reacting to the clinton news. nbc's hallie jackson has more. >> reporter: good morning. this time the candidates are getting ready for a dozen events in the final countdown to the caucuses, the last big push. taking aim not only at eastch other, but across the aisle at hillary clinton. the favorite target on the campaign trail, facing new fire from the gop rivals. >> hillary clinton is disqualified. disqualified from being commander in chief. >> reporter: marco rubio calling the latest news about the e-mail release unacceptable. >> maybe she thinks she's above the law or maybe she wanted to read the stuff on her blackberry and have that convenient.

server had 22 top secret e-mails. well, that actually is an accurate statement. this is getting more and more serious. >> reporter: clinton's campaign spokesperson on defense. >> we know that these e-mails that they were not marked classified at the time they were sent or received. >> reporter: republicans quick to pounce. donald trump tweeting the e-mail release is a disaster and slamming what he calls clinton's bad judgment. saving his hardest hits for republican rival. >> ted cruz may not be a u.s. citizen, but he's an anchor baby. he is an anchor baby. ted cruz is an anchor baby in canada. >> reporter: cruz laughing it off in iowa. >> senator, trump called you an anchor baby today. any response to that? just laughter is what you take away from it? >> i like donald and he's welcome to say whatever he likes. i like and respect him. that's all i got to say.

down the line? >> well, look, what is going on with secretary clinton is involving not just her, but staff. we know the people at the fbi and justice department are looking at it not as a criminal investigation, but question whether because of the private server, she handled everything correctly. this disclosure will heighten the sense that the fbi will have to interview members of her staff and secretary clinton. it doesn't mean she will be indicted, but from a political point of view it is she is called to talk to the fbi, while fighting for the presidency, it will happen into concerns that kristen welker's piece that it does matter to voters. >> john, is this something we are talking about or is this something that voters in iowa or voters in new hampshire or voters in south carolina, is this something voters talking about right now? is this resonating on the

>> not very much at all. it never has over the course of the last year, we have never heard a lot of concern. a lot of concern on republican voters, but not democratic voters. this issue will not have much effect for hillary clinton to be the democratic nominee. it may spur fear on the democratic establishment that hillary clinton could be vulnerable on the general election. if she gets there, the republicans will make a lot of hay with in the fall. >> and on the ground in iowa, donald trump is defying any stereotype the way anything is done traditionally in politics. the question is can the numbers we see in the polls and terms of people at the rallies translate into votes. what is your sense? will they come out to caucus in

>> this is the moment when donald trump needs to go from as you suggested from the unorthodox candidate to an orthodox candidate. he needs caucus and people to come to the rallies and turn out to the caucuses. good to remind people. this is not a normal primary that people are used to. you have to vote several hours on monday night and go to a particular location at a particular time. trump's team is not inexperienced. they know caucuses are different. he has a lot of iowans who have done this in the past. we will see on monday. my sense is they know exactly how big the stakes are. if his operation does perform in iowa, he will be in a commanding position for the nomination. i believe at least in part his operation will work. this will not be a collapse. it could be a powerful force pal legal to the force he has been. >> mark and john in the hawkeye

we have you covered at the caucuses. we will be live on monday. one of the inmates who escaped from the california jail last week is behind bars this morning after turning himself in on friday. investigators are still looking for two other men with whom he escaped. here is nbc's miguel almaguer. >> reporter: in custody this morning, bac tien duong. one of three dangerous inmates who escaped last week. after a week on the run, police tightened a dragnet around a vietnamese neighborhood. duong decided he wanted out showing up at an auto shop. >> he told my wife he wanted to turn in. my wife makes a call. >> did your wife know who he was? >> yes, of course we do. he's my friend. >> he is cooperating and providing information. >> reporter: hossein nayeri and jonathan tieu are still on the loose.

police believe the men are living in a van. stolen one day after their escape. but say they may have also stayed at the local motel in northern california. >> we have information that mr. nayeri and mr. tieu may still be together in the san jose area. >> reporter: investigators also say the men had help with the escape from ravaghi. an english teacher at the jail. she is being held as a suspect in the jail break. they say she brought in maps, showing images of the jail's rooftop. detectives say she developed a quote, personal relationship with inmate hossein nayeri. the story reminiscent of joyce mitchell in the new york state prison escape last year. this jail break reads like a hollywood thriller. the inmates cut through steel and along plumbing ducts and

the youngest of three children, he was diagnosed with microcephaly. he is one of 4,000 babies born with the disease since october. small head. the disease effects every aspects of the child's mental and physical development and possibly life span. >> what did doctors tell you about his development? his mother says she doesn't know if he will ever walk or talk. for babies with microcephaly, there is no treatment for cure. the family takes it one day at a time. his father julio, said she has symptoms in her third month of pregnancy. researchers believe mosquitoes are spreading the virus linked with microcephaly. the virus is now present in at least 24 countries and

the cdc is keeping a close watch on the presence of the virus in the u.s. >> we have not seen viruses like zika spread widely here simply because people have screens in their houses and air conditioning. we don't have the level of crowding in the places where zika is spreading widely. >> reporter: the struggles are hard on the whole family. including his grandfather, fernando. fernando tells us that while his grandson's future is uncertain, one thing is for sure, he will always be loved. public health officials say the likelihood of a massive zika outbreak in the continental united states, similar to what's happening in brazil is low. still the cdc says its staying on top of this and working closely with world health authorities. craig. >> rehema ellis for us in brazil. thank you. >> dr. natalie azar is here to answer some of our questions.

know, this week. >> is this zika carrying states? >> we have the zika carrying mosquito in the united states in the gulf coast and southern united states and southern california. we have yet to have a domestically or locally transmitted viral mosquito bite. to our knowledge, these here are not infected with zika. >> if you are exposed to the zika virus, not pregnant, but would like to try to conceive, how long do you have to wait? >> we believe the virus stays in the body for a few days to up to a week. intuitively, if you have been exposed or travel to an area where zika virus is exposed and you return, you want to wait a week or two before trying to conceive. >> should you get checked by

most doctors would do this on a case by case basis. most people don't know they are infected. they are asymptomatic. that means testing every single woman who returns from one of the places. although we can test for it, it is not an easily commercially available test. it has to be sent to a laboratory. the doctor will do a case by case depending on the high risk exposure. >> no vaccine. no cure at this point. this is a disease that has been around since the late '40s, i believe. why has there not been a vaccine created in 70 years? >> the first documented outbreak in 2007. then in pollynesia. the thing with the diseases,

sporadic and unpredictable. there is not a lot of attention paid to the viruses that seem innocuous. >> now an emergency meeting with the world health organization. >> the goal according to dr. chan is three-fold. you want to make sure you have the appropriate amount of international concern. we want to say is this an international health threat or not? you want all of the resources going to the right places and prioritize which countries need what. that's the basis of the meeting. >> okay. dr. natalie azar, thank you. we like to know what you are concerned about when it comes to the zika virus. you can tweet us. @todayshow. we will answer some of the questions in the next hour.

he is interested in the issues. they will cross the state with eight events between them. at one, hillary clinton will be joined by gabby giffords. erica. >> kristen, thanks. >> to the republicans now where the war of words with donald trump and ted cruz shows no signs of letting up. nbc's hallie jackson is in des moines with more on that. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, craig. this morning, the republican candidates are getting ready for the final push and final weekend before the caucuses. they wasted little time on pouncing on hillary clinton for the e-mail issue. while a clinton spokesperson calls this overclassification, the republicans have different words for it. like unacceptable. that's from marco rubio, who argues this news should disqualify clinton from being commander in chief. ted cruz says this is more and more serious. as the gop candidates take aim

gain traction with caucus goers in the last 60 hours before the caucuses. trump, for example, rolling out a new line of attack against ted cruz. calling him a canadian anchor baby. cruz is laughing it off getting ready for his rally tonight. the one he asked donald trump to debate him. trump is at a different event this evening. on the campaign trail also, marco rubio, he is hoping for momentum. hoping for a strong third place finish here after his debate performance earlier in the week. craig. >> hallie, thank you. a federal judge has denied bail for the main figures in the armed standoff in the wildlife refuge. the judge said ammon bundy and followers pose a danger to the community and argue that it was a peaceful operation. the judge would release those arrested only when the standoff ends.

dylan has a check of our saturday forecast for us. >> we are talking about the weather in california. that ties in nicely. >> nice segue. >> a decent storm making its way onshore. we have a stream of moisture off the pacific. it extends 1,000 miles. all of that moisture is going to continue to make its way onshore. a lot of rain and mountain snow. we are going to see this storm intensify off the coast and produce wind gusts as high as 50 to 60 miles per hour. we have several winter storm warnings and watches. winter weather advisories across the rockies and in the sierra as well. today, we will see the storm get organized organized. on sunday, gusty winds in southern california. heavy snow in the sierra. we are going to see this eventually start to spread east into the rockies. on monday, especially in denver, we could see near blizzard conditions with the gusty winds reducing visibility down to less

on tuesday, snow across nebraska and kansas and up into iowa. strong storms ahead of the front. especially through the midwest. as for rainfall totals, 2 to 3 inches of rain. we could see brief flooding. as for snow, denver could end up with 1 foot of snow. especially through monday and the storm starts to move and that's your latest forecast. craig.

now to a decades old case that has a lot of people talking thanks to the netflix series "making a murderer." on friday, protesters gathered outside stephen avery's prison, both for and against avery. this morning, his attorney says new evidence could help free him. "dateline's" andrea canning has more. >> good morning, craig. the attorney met with stephen avery for about three hours and this case is moving forward. everybody is wondering what happened to teresa halbach. for those who think stephen avery did not do it, it comes down to one attorney famous for wrongful convictions who said she is about to turn the case upside down. the case had people talking since it premiered on netflix last month and the talk got louder in the county where had happened. manitowoc, wisconsin. >> we believe they had an unfair trial.

second time here. he should rot in jail. >> don't let netflix tell you what to think! >> reporter: demonstrations here after stephen avery was wrongfully convicted in 1985. released in prison and then convicted in 2007 of murdering a photographer. >> stephen avery convicted. >> reporter: at trial, his office planted evidence in an attempt to frame him. >> i know it is not true. deputies. >> reporter: now avery has a new attorney. kathleen zellner. prison. >> do you have evidence to free stephen avery? >> we do. >> can you tell us anything about that? >> i can tell you generally since 2007, there have been significant advances in forensic

going to the clearest way to do this is with scientific testing. >> reporter: she has been poring through boxes of evidence and determined to prove her client is innocent. it looks like there may be another chapter in this case yet. >> we are talking about a timing perspective of when we will see something happen in the case? >> i think within 30 days. possibly less. >> his attorney mentioned the car. stephen avery's blood and dna were found in the victim's car. so zellner bought one to understand what she is dealing with. she has alternate suspects in mind. she won't say who, but there are people on her radar. >> you have been following this case. what is the likelihood that stephen avery gets a new trial? >> the problem with the question is we don't know yet what the new evidence is she is talking about.

it is and credible it is, that determines if he gets a new trial. we are waiting for that. hopefully in the next month we will see another break in the case. >> there appears to be another chapter left in the story. andrea, thank you again. erica. craig, thanks. a precarious situation in california shows no signs of improvement. homes on the edge of a cliff because of the storms battering the cliff. as steve malkoff reports, he says there are some that don't plan to leave anytime soon. >> reporter: just 15 minutes from san francisco. >> a dangerous situation in california. coastal erosion. >> reporter: these 1960s era apartments in pacifica, california sit on one of those hillsides. >> don't step out. >> reporter: resident bart willowby shows us how the

bringing these homes closer to the disaster. >> you can see how brown that water is. that's sand in the water. >> reporter: that pacific ocean water, warmer than usual, has accelerated the problem that has been brewing for years. if this el nio is as bad as it is predicted to be, will we see more apartments evacuated? >> sure. the one next door will be evacuated. we are going to the back of 310 esplanade. 20 people still live here. >> reporter: the city has evacuated this building and this building. and just days ago, they declared this building unsafe as well. now all 20 low-income residents must find some other place to live. people like jeff bowman. >> nobody will be here for ever. everybody is realizing that. >> reporter: these apartments are teetering 75 feet above the

this is a normal day. during an el nio-fueled storm, those waves could be double that size. >> i don't think it is necessarily all that safe. >> reporter: bart took these photos less than a month apart. it is easy to see how much sand is now gone from the ridge. each storm claims another chunk of the west coast. >> my friend's dog went over the side on new year's eve. part of the bluff fell. >> reporter: you can see how easily this land crumbles apart. so far, that dog is the only fatality here on the rocks below that's shaky ground above. for "today," dave malkoff, in pacifica, california. coming up, our week's biggest health stories and why exercising around the clock doesn't mean you will burn more calories than if you too grilled chicken and bush's baked beans. >>mom totally forgot to give us vegetables.

this morning in "today's" health, there are questions around the zika virus. we have dr. natalie azar with us here. she will walk us through the medical stories this week. >> hello. >> let's start with the zika virus. we have a question of what stage of gestation is exposure? >> the first trimester is the most vulnerable. that is when the central nervous system is forming. that can be the most critical. that doesn't rule out a problem could occur later on in pregnancy if you are exposed. >> the next question coming to us from maven. we answered it in the 7:00. if infected, how long does the woman need to wait to get pregnant. then could an infected man's sperm pose a risk? this goes back if this is transmitted sexually.

question first. there are some reports that the virus can be detected in saliva and semen. those concerns are going to create the concern about sexual transmission. the main mode of transmission is the mosquito bites. issue of how long you have to wait, i want to make clear, we don't know everything about the virus. we are learning more about the virus and mosquito that carries it. we believe it stays in your system up to a week. if you are planning on becoming pregnant, wait a couple weeks before exposure. >> moving on. we have been talking about the water crisis in flint. we keep talking about lead. a lot of americans live in homes built before the '70s with lead pipes and paint. what are the true effects of lead poisoning? >> a concern for children under

the womb having exposure. again, because the main side effect or issue can be cognitive impairment in young children. the stages of early development. >> and how you test people to determine determine exposure to lead. >> it can be done with a finger prick, you can get a positive test. you can speak to your doctor about getting your child tested for lead exposure or yourself. speak to your health department. you want to renovate carefully. that is the main concern. the lead found in the paint chips. >> and the next headline had us thinking about the new year's resolutions. working out and working out harder and more. more exercise doesn't burn more calories? i don't get it. >> intuitively it doesn't make a

there is more research out over what you eat than energy you spend to maintain or lose weight. if you are a very active person and exercise regularly, if you spend an extra hour at the gym, you are probably not burning anymore calories than you normally do in the day. the main difference comes in someone sedentary. people who don't exercise at all, for them, walking and taking the stairs is actually going to make a difference. the idea is biologically, we have a certain amount of energy we expend every day. it doesn't vary when your level is doing cognizant. >> does that mean i can have a glass of wine instead? >> yeah, no. don't interpret it that way. >> natalie, thank you. still ahead, a look at the highly anticipated series, "the people versus o.j. simpson" and

and verdict. during the trial, simpson was a chronic spousal abuser capable of murder. but now a new twist. dr. amalu, recently portrayed by will smith in "concussion" says he suspects that he has chronic traumatic encephalphy. >> our experience says somebody who plays football for 10 to 20 years, plus has severe personality changes mid life, including violence and impulse control, we diagnose them with cte. it is reasonable to think simpson has been suffering for a while. >> reporter: for many, that is not the excuse.

phil they feel the series takes attention away from the victims adding the filmmakers never contacted them. >> we have a whole new generation who never saw this take place and is now going to see this series and assume that fact. that's very troubling to me. >> reporter: the filmmakers did contact kris jenner. "people" magazine. >> with all of the attention, kris hopes that people remember at the heart of all this was the loss of two lives of ron goldman and nicole brown simpson. >> reporter: o.j. simpson is currently being held behind bars in nevada serving time on unrelated charges. you can hear more from the families of the victims on the upcoming episode of "dr. phil." meanwhile, the fx mini series

that will turn into a bigger storm for the denver area, especially on monday. we could see as much as 1 foot of snow. that is the storm that is moving east into iowa by the time we get into monday and that's your latest forecast. >> dylan, thank you. >> still to come, rolling with the pros. dylan's not done. she has tips for us from the bowling professionals.

these ladies. >> my bowling ball is in storage. i not get to use it. they let me play. they are the best female bowlers in the world. they are changing the idea of what it means to be a professional bowler. let's face it. bowling might be the rodney dangerfield of sport. no respect. you know the cliches. smoke-filled alleys and kids birthday parties. hardly the stuff of professional sports. but a new generation of women is challenging these stereotypes. >> i can make a living doing this professionally. i think younger girls are starting to see that. >> kelly kulic became the first women ever to win a national title on the male dominated pro tour. she became the only bowler to grace the cover of espn's cover.

>> the perception of we're not athletes, bowl ten games in one day. see how your hand holds up over ten games and do that over a month. see how your body feels. know what it is like to coordinate a 15-pound ball and shoot multiple spares in different angles. it is demanding and frustrating. >> i quickly learned how frustrating it can be when kelly offered to watch me bowl. at first, i wasn't that nervous. i did own my own bowling ball and shoes at one point in my life. i couldn't be that rusty. right? >> oh, no. >> think about the ball swing from the shoulder. like you are pitching a ball under hand. >> and right down the middle.

>> two of the guys just crashed on takeoff. it was so good. >> reporter: investors say few thought video games would one day become a spectator sport worth tens of millions of dollars. now they believe drone racing could turn out to be a hugely popular spectator sport as well. as this gets underway, fans watch from a home computer. eventually they may also strap on goggles and fly. like superman. right along with their favorite pilots. some of the $8 million seed money backing this new sport, investments from steven ross, owner of the miami dolphins and dolphins vice chairman, matt higgins. >> i see celebrity athletes and have huge followings. >> and, of course, some of the
