[ laughter ] it's been a while. >> while on the republican side, ted cruz picks up more delegates with a clean sweep over donald trump in colorado. how will this affect buildup to the new york primary now just nine days away. make it stop. ten days into april and we're still seeing cold and snow that just won't quit. tens of millions on the east coast waking up to temperatures 15 to 20 degrees below normal. we are grilling this woman, dylan, for some answers. >> and it all comes down to this. the final day of play at the masters about to get under way in augusta. jordan spieth barely holding onto the lead. he's facing some stiff competition and it's really anyone's game, today, sunday

>> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning. welcome to "today" on this sunday morning. i'm sheinelle jones. >> glad to have you with us. i'm craig melvin. dylan dreyer here as well. >> this said soon in case you didn't see it. >> it's going to warm up soon. >> could have said don't blame me. >> even better. >> i know you were watching ye erday for your boy rory mcilroy to come back. he went off the rails a bit yesterday. >> i think it's the wind. he couldn't really wait out the wind. it's frustrating. you can't blame that totally on the wind. >> any other sport you blame it on the wind it's like a joke. but you're actually serious. >> we'll get to the masters in just a bit. our top story, the breaking news from belgium where prosecutors have released details about what they've learned from the so-called man in the hat.

planning to attack france again, but instead struck closer to home. bill neely has more on the overnight developments. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, craig, it was the deadliest ever isis terror cell. it's clearly being broken up and we're now learning new details about what it planned to hit next prosecutors say its number one target was france. belgium was only hit after the gang feared arrest and rushed an attack. at he center of all the plots, the man who has now begun to talk. the paris attacks killed more than 130 people. but belgian prosecutors said this morning, the isis cell responsible based in belgium had been planning a second hit on france. the arrest of the paris bomber

them and the speed of the investigation rushed them into an attack on belgium. the new info ation is coming from this man, hunted for months, disguised to kill, the man in the hat wheeling his explosives and now confessing his role. mohamed abrini arrested friday talking saturday has been formally charged with the brussels massacres. prosecutors say he admits fleeing the bombings telling them he threw his jacket in a garbage can and sold his hat. prosecutors had evidence abrini was one of the paris attackers. photographs, dna and fingerprints. but until he talked, his role in brussels was unclear. now he's telling them more. >> brussels is a safer place with abrini in jail. it doesn't mean that there are not many more on the loose. >> reporter: so police are on the hunt for more isis suspects raiding an apartment block. the fear is that the terror gang

strike again. well, abrini is likely to be questioned again today. no one involved in the investigation either here or in france really believe everyone involved in the gang has been captured or killed. so there are no celebrations here about the arrests and charges. they're on their guard here. police car just gone past, the sirens still in this city. belgium's prime minister warning people to stay alert and be careful. >> bill, thank you. now to another breaking story in india where at least 100 people are dead after a huge fire broke out at a temple in the middle of a fireworks display. nbc's kelly cobiella is in london with more. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. just a devastating scene there, sheinelle. thousands of worshippers were inside the hindu temple in southern india along with stacks of fireworks when a stray spark

a devastating series of explosions at 3:30 in the morning. white smoke and flames. the explosion so powerful witnesses said chunks of concrete were flying half a mile through the air. that fire burned for hours. collapsing. the thousands inside the temple complex trapped by flames and more than 200 were hurt. many of them badly burned, taken away in ambulances. this morning, the fire is under control. rescuers having to use bulldozers to search for survivors. prince william and duchess kate are in mumbai this morning. honoring the victims of the 2008 terrorist attacks. they released a statement about the fire saying they were saddened by it and that their thoughts were with the rescuers. as you mentioned, at least 100 people believed dead and many more still missing this morning. >> so sad. kelly cobiella, thank you.

another win for bernie sanders. sanders won the democratic caucus in wyoming. both he and senator clinton will each pick up seven delegates from that state. it means more momentum for sanders with new york's primary now just nine days away. we have full coverage this morning. let's start with kelly o'donnell covering the democrats. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. bernie sanders had expected to do well in the wyoming contest and he did winning the democratic caucus, that format. and the state's makeup of voters, mostly white, is a sanders strength. there were only 14 delegates at stake and hillary clinton got half. bernie sanders was campaigning on long island new york when his wife stepped on the stage to tell him he had won wyoming. he then turned to the crowd and said news bulletin, sanders has won eight out of nine contests. hillary clinton did not campaign in wyoming herself. she put out a statement congratulating sanders but also

delegate lead of 220 and an advantage in the popular vote of 2.4 million. a margin her campaign calls insurmountable. today, hillary clinton will be campaigning here in baltimore at the business behind me. and she'll be holding a grassroots organizing event to encourage supporters to help her campaign in maryland. maryland is one of five states voting on april 26th. the next big contest is new york a week from tuesday. and that is must win for clinton. of course th e still has been tension between these two campaigns with disputes over how much to raise the minimum wage and sanders calling on bill clinton to apologize after he had a verbal back and forth with a black lives matter protester. craig? >> kelly o'donnell for us this morning in maryland. thank you. to the republicans now where ted cruz claims another victory, this time in colorado. we're in rochester new york with more on that and what this means for both cruz and donald trump. jacob, good morning.

ted cruz may be a distant third here in new york. last night his experienced ground game proved its worth. it was a knockout for cruz in colorado sweeping all 34 delegates up for grabs there, plus some others from virginia to iowa. it has never been more clear that donald trump's ground team is right now not ready for a floor fight. this is john kasich hopes to be a spoiler in new york spending more time here than the other candidates with increasingly massive crowds. more than 3,000 people here in rochester at his latest rally. this is the frontrunner after a few days off the campaign trail left trump tower for a different kind of event. a private tour with his wife of the 9/11 memorial. later today, donald trump will be out here in rochester. his first rally since his campaign hit the reset button. his team telling me they still hope to avoid an open convention. that would depend largely on a

home state. sheinelle? >> jacob ras cone, thanks. chuck todd is nbc's political director. good morning to you. >> well, good morning. >> chuck, the math and the map of course obviously still in hillary clinton's side. but let's talk about the optics for a second. she's now dropped seven in a row. how big of a problem are the optics for her at this point? >> it only becomes a problem if she loses in a state that she shouldn't lose in. and that's the definition of new york state. i mean, what happened yesterday in wyoming, talk about sort of the nomination fight in a nutshell for bernie sanders, he wins and yet somehow doesn't pick up any ground on the delegate front. that's been the frustration that i think bernie sanders has run into. yes, he's had this run and this run has done nothing to sort of stop clinton's path to the nomination. beating her in new york, well, that's a different story. i think that's what it's going to take to make this momentum a reality.

shaking up his campaign, putting a veteran political strategist in place. you're going to be talking to paul manafort. talk to us about what you think this means. what's going on? >> i think it's an acknowledgement that he knows that he could see this thing being taken away. war number one is going to actually win votes. after you win the votes, you have to make sure you have the right people that become delegates to the convention. that's where trump has been getting out-organized and out-hustled. frankly, it's now becoming a saturday -- a saturday event and tradition here. ted cruz out-organizing trump at a state convention. this weekend it was colorado springs. in colorado. weekend before it was in north dakota. that's what they had to stop and that's what trump had to do bring in somebody a little more experienced at playing hardball. >> i know you've seen this "boston globe," the mother of all anti-endorsement. front page this morning.

the headlines, deportations to begin markets sink, this is of course what they say would happen if donald trump wins. does that move the needle at all with voters here in new york or anywhere else? >> i don't think it does and it actually could have a backlash effect. i'm surprised that the globe went that far. that's something you would expect from "the onion," from perhaps a partisan magazine or something like that. it was a surprising move. that's something that could turn people off more than it -- than maybe what was initially intended by the editorial board. >> chuck, thank you. we'll look for more this morning when senator bernie sanders joins you. it is a big day for the golfers at the masters tournament. today, the final round of course. last year's winner, jordan spieth trying to maintain his lead, but he is just barely hanging on. our resident golfer, dylan dreyer following all of the action for us. >> meteorologist and golf.

saturday. torturing players at augusta. that included rory mcilroy that started play on saturday behind spieth but ended it much farther away. rory mcilroy started the day just one shot behind leader jordan spieth. but things got ugly early. mcilroy has won three major golf championships, but on saturday, chasing the elusive masters, he couldn't stay out of trouble. hitting out of the woods and into the water. >> no spring in the step now. >> spieth also had ups and downs, but managed to make shots when he needed them. his shot out of the woods on 18 slipped past the trees by inches. for the third day in a row, strong 20 miles per hour winds swept the course blowing a ball right off the 15th green, down the hill, and into the water. there were pleasant surprises too.

sank this incredible 69-foot birdie putt on 14. he's at even paragraph for the tournament and definite a threat to win it all today. rookie smiley kaufman finished the day two under, one shot back of spieth. >> masters rookie having quite the week. the two have known each other since junior golf. >> he was really good then. just as good as he is now. >> a sentimental favorite, german bernhard langer, a two-time masters champion, also hot on the trail just two shots behind. he'd be the oldest man to win the masters by 12 years. in today's final round, they're all chasing spieth who could be caught. spieth dropped three strokes on the final two holes saturday hanging onto a one-stroke lead. >> all of a sudden it's anyone's game. tough to swallow that. >> some good news for golfers today, the wind isn't going to be as much of a factor today as it has been the last two days. and the speed of the green like the u.s. open. the winds like the british open. it's a mix of everything.

since he turned 21. going to be interesting to see if he has what it takes to hold on. >> other news to get to this morning, in new orleans, what's described as an incident of road rage has taken the life of a former pro ball football player. will smith and his wife were driving a car that was rear ended. reports indicate that afterwards, words were exchanged. the other driver opened fire killing smith and wounding his wife. the alleged shooter now in police custody. smith was part of the saints organizationhmore than a decade playing on the team that won the 2010 super bowl. hours for former speaker of the house dennis hastert, say their client acknowledging his past transgressions. the statement offers his earnest apology to his former students and others affected by the harm his actions have caused. he's awaiting sentencing of charges that stem from sexual bus that took place as a high

the pope. some are saying this is really just more of the same. the church policy hasn't changed, the pope is just being a little bit more forgiving. so is the pope really as radical as he seems? we hit the streets to find out. catholics heading to mass this morning have had a lot to digest over the weekend. in a document released on friday, pope francis called for greater acceptance of modern families when it comes to issues like divorce, remarriage and same-sex marriage. even though one in four catholics are divorced, the church continues to exclude them from communion. the pope says they should be made to feel part of the church. >> he's trying to get catholics back in the church. >> reporter: pope francis also continued to reject same-sex marriage, but said gay catholics should be welcomed with respect and dignity. but is that enough? >> the joy of love, the document, what did you think

>> i thought it's the right direction, but he needs to take it further. >> everyone should be able to receive communion if they want to. >> there are things to be changed. >> reporter: in a survey, six in ten catholics think the church should allow those who have divorced and remarried without an annulment to take communion. nearly half say the church should recognize same-sex marriage. george, a vatican expert says on hot button family topics, the pope can only go so far. >> the pope doesn't make up the teaching of the catholic church. the pope is the custodian of the teaching of the catholic church. >> reporter: still, with sagging church membership, some hope that those who didn't feel accepted before will now come back to the altar. more than half of americans raised catholic have left the church at some point in their lives. some say this more accepting stance by the pope means a lot even if just a small step, and could change church policy for generations to come. >> thank you. up next on "today,"
