good morning. is time running out? an alarming new report this morning that israel could be planning to attack iran over its growing nuclear program, and it could happen in a matter of months. monster blizzard, a major winter storm bearing down on colorado, kansas and nebraska. this morning, schools are closed, hundreds of flights are cancelled and some areas are bracing for up to two feet of snow. and countdown to super bowl xlvi, two titans of the gridiron the new york giants and the new england patriots, ready to face off in a rematch. it could be the most watched event in history. will the game live up to

expectations? will madonna deliver at halftime? and which ads will be worth the money? we're getting the party started today in indianapolis, friday, we're getting the party started today in indianapolis, friday, february 3, 2012. captions paid for by nbc-universal television welcome to a special edition of "today" on a friday morning. i'm matt lauer inside studio 1a. ann is in indianapolis, a town with a serious case of super bowl fever. good morning. >> and how, matt. i thought i'd come to see what all the fuss is about. indianapolis is known locally as nap town because it was a sleepy little city, but as you can see it's wide awake this morning.

we are just surrounded with hoosier hospitality. we are in pan am plaza named for the 1987 games. this week it is super bowl village, a fun zone for fans near the stadium as the city gears up for the big game. coming up, we'll hear from madonna on her halftime show and also show you her little salsa at her news conference on thursday. we're also going to have -- there you go -- some first looks at the super bowl ads that are so highly anticipated. if that wasn't enough, we actually have a live convert coming up from here. gym class heroes and maroon 5's adam levine will be performing. the crowd likes the idea but maybe the real star from here is mr. al roker. he's joining us also this morning. [ cheers and applause ] >> big cheer for him. matt, you have a lot coming up from new york. >> i do, ann.

thank you very much. we'll have new developments to the story we have been covering of more than a dozen girls at a school with tourette's syndromes. now a 36-year-old woman is suffering tics as well and she wants to know if it's relate to a train derailment in that town decades ago. we begin with escalating tensions over iran's nuclear program. according to u.s. officials, defense secretary leon panetta believes there is a strong possibility israel will attack iran in the coming months. richard engel is in tel aviv. good morning, richard. >> reporter: good morning, matt. u.s. military officials are expressing very similar concerns to us. they say that the possibility of an israeli strike on iran's nuclear program is about 50/50. some people say it's more like 70% likely and that the window of opportunity for israel to strike is anywhere from now to

this summer. u.s. officials don't think that they will get advanced notice. they say israel will likely carry this out if it takes place with long-range bombers and rockets, but there is still an intense debate within this country, whether just a short bombing campaign -- perhaps three or four days -- would have a real impact on the program. >> one of the criteria the israelis imposed on themselves was could they create damage to the iranian nuclear program and then could israel with stand the inevitable counterattack. how are they preparing for the likelihood there? >> reporter: they are worried about this. just a few minutes ago i came from an israeli home. i was interviewing people who are dusting off their bomb shelter. they were making sure they have the gas mask at the ready. they are not imminently concerned that something could happen, but with all of the reports -- and there are reports from israeli officials also saying israel can't wait forever, that the military

option might be necessary. so israelis are taking precautions already from now. there is a debate on how much impact it would have. some israelis say a strike on these hardened sites in iran which iran says are strictly for peaceful purposes could only set the program back a year or two and that it isn't worth it. that it's better to have a sabotage campaign and keep on economic pressure. >> there is word coming out of egypt this morning that two american tourists have been kidnapped there on a trip there. what do you know about that? >> we have spoken to the local police chief. what happened is they were traveling, five americans in a car e between st. catherine's and sharm el sheikh. they were apparently kidnapped by local tribes, bedouins. three of the americans were released and a tribal leader says the other two are being held by one of the biggest

tribes in the area and it appears negotiations are under way. it doesn't appear to be an al qaeda-style kidnapping but a tribal grievance the americans got caught up in. >> richard, thank you very much. it's six minutes after the hour. here's ann. >> all right, matt. thanks. here at home a reminder that winter is far from over. a major blizzard is bearing down from colorado to nebraska. the weather channel's mike seidel is in englewood, colorado, with more. good morning. sounds like a huge storm. >> reporter: it is. considering how little snow we have seen across the country, denver is one of the few spots that comes into the storm running above average in snowfall. the only other town that comes to mind is midland, texas. it's snowing and blowing this morning. some of the foothills already have had 15 inches and roads and schools are being impacted. travel is okay.

they are trying to keep the roads clear ahead of the heavy snowfall rate of more than an inch an hour. in denver because they are expecting more than a foot of snow they are putting plow blades on 4 x 4s and garbage trucks to keep streets open. denver public schools are closed. most other communities followed suit. at the airport, just over 200 flights out of a daily schedule of 1,700 have been scheduled. major airlines, united states, frontier and southwest have the usual travel waivers if you are stuck and can't get out today. we'll look at i 80 and i-70 for shut-downs. most of the snow will not get to the ski resorts. >> that's too bad. mike seidel, thank you very much. say trooi to stay warm. thank you. al, one of our colleagues said it was 52 degrees and sunny yesterday in denver. what flipped the switch?

>> it's a big, big, vigorous storm. in fact, behind the storm we have the snow ahead of it. thunderstorms and tornadoes to talk about. as you can see, this is a wide view. you see the tornado watch texas into oklahoma. we have tornado warnings in southern texas and parts of louisiana. let's zoom in and show the snow. you can see it's getting itself together. this is a vigorous storm going on for the next 48 hours as it pulls out of colorado and heads spo the central plains it will be bringing behind it snow, blowing winds, winds over 30 miles per hour. ahead of it, heavy rain and thunderstorms. a possibility of tornadoes, damaging wind and damaging hail as well. snowfall amounts anywhere from a half foot to a foot and a half of snow. rainfall from parts of louisiana, mississippi up into kansas. we are talking two to four inches of rain and some of it could be heavyeavy at times causing flooding. that's what's going on now. let's to ann.

>> al, thank you so much. we'll get to the forecast in a moment. now back to matt in new york. >> thank you. now to the presidential race and an apology from mitt romney following his controversial remark about the poor. this as he enjoys a new endorsement from donald trump. peter alexander is in reno, nevada. good morning to you. >> reporter: it played out like a scene in donald trump's own reality show. there they were together, side by side, the billionaire and multimillionaire trading compliments. trump said he was swayed because of romney's performance in recent debates. but romney's words have got him in trouble lately. >> it was a misstatement. i misspoke. >> reporter: mitt romney now admits he messed up. this morning he hopes to end the controversy he caused with these seven words. >> i'm not concerned about the very poor. >> reporter: thursday night in an interview with the face to

face with john ralston he gave this explanation. >> you do thousands of interviews and now and then you get it wrong. i misspoke. >> reporter: romney urged supporters to help him regain momentum. >> it would be helpful the if nevada would give me a boost going on. >> reporter: earlier romney accepted the endorsement of tea party favorite donald trump. >> it's my real honor and privilege to endorse mitt romney. >> reporter: the event was short, lasting barely seven minutes, but sweet for romney. >> there are some things you can't imagine happening in your life. this is one of them. >> mitt is tough, smart, sharp. he's not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country that we love. >> reporter: there was plenty of vegas-style hype surrounding the endorsement. several media outlets reported

based on sources in the newt gingrich campaign that trump would back the former house speaker. >> i'm watching in amazement. >> why? >> some people have a knack of gathering attention. >> you're talking about donald trump perhaps? >> the donald is a force of his own. >> would you like that force on your side? >> how are you? >> reporter: trump spoke with savannah on "today." >> he has not resonated. >> you said you're a better candidate because you're richer. >> not so much a candidate. i'm much richer than he is. that doesn't make me better at all. >> reporter: the endorsement of a billionaire with this as his signature line. >> you're fired. >> i like being able to fire people. >> reporter: gave the democrats new fodder. >> they both like firing people

and have made millions doing it. >> reporter: romney is trying to get back on track in nevada where polls show him with a 20% lead at this point. it's a state he won four years ago. >> peter alexander, thank you very much. david gregory is moderator of "meet the press." chuck todd is nbc's political director. good morning. >> good morning. >> the tourist slogan for vegas is what happens in vegas stays in vegas. is this a one-day event or does the endorsement of trump have meaning for mitt romney? >> talking to romney adviser it is feeling was we'd rather have people with us than against us. trump gets a little bit of attention. whether he does it now, talks about a candidate down the line i think they would rather it be for their side. they think he has a little tea party appeal and he can help them fund-raise. i don't think you will see mitt romney bringing him to battleground states in the fall,

but right now it gives him a bump. >> what about the timing? much has been made over the fact that he stands next to a billionaire the day after he made a gaffe concerns the very poor. couldn't the romney campaign have said, look, we appreciate the endorsement. could we hold off and do it a few weeks down the road? >> you would think. i think there was an aspect that was ham-handed. you had mitt romney saying, i have been success, but not as successful as you. that doesn't help with the down with the people tour over the coming weeks. he has to work with this. they are looking at the longer game which is fund-raising, tea party credentials which is what they need. >> rick santorum gave an interview and said, quote, what donald trump does isn't for anybody else but donald trump. be careful what you wish for. do you expect romney to take this endorsement and immediately begin to distance himself from donald trump? >> i do.

the way this went down. the fact that there was only one state you would be semi-comfortable doing this in was las vegas. you can almost get away with it because it's vegas and having a showman on your side there is less weird than in f you did it in ohio, florida or somewhere more meaningful. i will be shocked if we see mitt romney and donald trump standing together in september and october, assuming mitt romney is the nominee. >> looking at polling out of nevada where the caucuses will be held, mitt romney with a 20-point lead. do you see anything in the numbers or on the calendar to spell good news for newt gingrich now? >> not at all. particularly in nevada, it will be hard. there is a large mormon population. mitt romney did well here before. ron paul has been well organized here. frankly, the state's republican party is still getting used to the idea of caucusing. i think turnout will be a question mark.

nobody's sure what the hours are of the polling places. there's already issues there. you have observant, high -- big time jewish activists inside the republican party who don't want to vote during the day tomorrow. sheldon adelson, the big donor of newt gingrich. i think you are not going to see a big turnout. i'm curious to see what happens tuesday. there are caucuses where rick santorum could do well. that will be interesting to see if conservatives rally around him. >> the news out of washington and the defense department, david, that u.s. officials now fear israel may attack iran's nuclear facility sooner rather than later. what's the worst case scenario for the u.s. in this and the obama administration? >> well, that somehow the u.s. is drawn into it, backing up our ally, israel, depending upon the nature of the strike it will be destabilizing for the region if not lethal for parts of israel should something like this happen and the reverberations in terms of

nuclear proloviferation and u.s troops moving out of afghanistan and almost completely out of iraq. those reverberations, the administration has to keep on eye on. >> thank you very much. a programming note now. newt gingrich will be one of david's guests on a special super bowl sunday edition of "meet the press." now over to the news desk with natalie for the headlines of the morning. good morning. >> good morning, everyone. the head of the susan g. komen for the cure foundation is defending her decision to cut funding to planned parenthood even as top komen officials resign in protest. this as criticism mounts against the cancer charity and supporters rally around the reproductive health organization. the latest supporter is new york city mayor michael bloomberg pledging to donate $250,000 out of his own pocket to make up for the cuts. he said, quote, politics have no

place in health care. the president unveiled a new jobs program today for our country's war veterans. he heads to arlington, virginia, to make the announcement. the veterans jobs corps would put some 20,000 veterans to work on infrastructure projects rebuilding roads and constructing trails on public lands. scientists are celebrating the discovery of a planet that may be the best candidate yet for supporting life. the rocky planet is a super earth, nearly five times the size of our planet and is the right distance from its sun to sustain liquid water. scientists say it would have a reddish atmosphere that feels like permanent dusk. and super bowl fever is here. you will never guess who has stage fright. madonna held a press conference in indianapolis ahead of the game where she's set to perform the halftime show. while she showed off salsa moves in honor of victor cruz she said she's never been so nervous

about a show in her 25 years of performing. she's got the salsa down. more coming up in the halftime show which airs right here on nbc this sunday. it's 7:18. now back to matt. >> everybody will be doing the salsa on monday. >> he started something. back to indy for the rest of al's forecast. al? >> hey, matt. we have a huge crowd here.

while the al qaeda threat may be diminishing security experts believe the super bowl remains a tempting target for any potential terrorist. that's why this is a level 1 security event. 48 hours until game day and downtown indy is getting crowded. by sunday, 3 00,000 people will be here, 72,000 inside the stadium. the man in charge of keeping them safe inside and out, indianapolis chief gary kcoons. >> this is probably the most secure place except for the white house on super bowl sunday. >> reporter: every delivery truck is scanned for explosives and tsa teams are checking tour buses. in the skies home land security choppers will enforce a no fly zone keeping all aircraft ayay from downtown. >> the no fly scone goes into effect two hours before game time with two choppers and two

aircraft enforcing a 30-mile perimeter. >> our intention is to try to vector them outside of the temporary flight restricted zone before they make contact with the zone. >> reporter: the high resolution cameras already beam realtime video to the super bowl command center staffed by local, state and federal authorities. also on the ground -- >> november 6. >> reporter: -- mobile detection teams sniffing for unusual radiation sources. we caught up with a team at andrews air force base as they practiced hunting for potential dirty bombs or radiation material. in the stadium on game day, hundreds of officers will mingle with the crowd wearing backpack and pager-sized radiation detectors. >> this is our trip wire. this tells us there is a problem out there. >> reporter: another trip wire, from vendors to parking lot attendants, 8,000 workers have been trained to spot suspicious behaviors. the message to fans, if you see something, say something. we caught up with janet

napalitano on the field. >> we have no specific threat against the super bowl. what we are securing against and protecting for is a speculative threat that could occur and that we don't want to occur. >> reporter: the city, of course, is used to big crowds. it has an nfl team, an nba team and hosts the indy 500 every year. chief coons says they know how to move quickly people through crowds, get them out of areas quickly and they can evacuate all 72,000 people out of the stadium in under one hour. back to you. >> remarkable. thank you for that reporting, tom costello. coming up, much more from indianapolis including a first look at more of the big super bowl ads. also, what madonna says about her halftime show. and al goes zip lining! but first, this is "today" on nbc.

admit -- for the commercials. coming up, more exclusive sneak peeks at the ads and a preview of madonna's much talked about halftime show. how she's feeling with two days to go. we'll hear from her and a lot more, matt. >> ann and al will be live from indianapolis. on sunday i'll be at the white house on a special edition of "today" for an exclusive sit-down with president obama. we'll talk about the game, the election year battle he's facing and other topics. we'll have much more with the president monday morning on "today." we begin this half hour with new developments in the four-month-old disappearance of a missouri baby. the girls' parents saying they are hopeful their daughter is still alive. good morning to you, lilya. >> reporter: good morning. baby lisa disappeared four months ago from her home in a

case that gripped the nation and turned this kansas city neighborhood upside down. her parents are speaking out. four months later and there are still no answers in the baffling case of baby lisa. after keeping a low profile, deborah bradley and jeremy irwin have broken their silence. >> it's not a joke, a circus, a game. this is my baby. >> reporter: talking about life without their daughter. >> it's really, really hard because every day i wake up and i think about her. when i go to sleep i think about her. it's almost everything i can do to stay sane. >> reporter: in an emotional interview with dr. phil the couple answered tough questions about the disappearance of their 10-month-old infant who they say vanished from her crib in the night. >> they absolutely insist they do not know what happened with this baby. >> reporter: deborah admitted she had several drinks the night lisa was reported missing and

doesn't remember when she last checked on her. that night, jeremy was working his first overnight shift as an electrician when he returned home around 4:00 a.m., lisa was gone. >> the father says his 10-month-old daughter was missing and he's not sure how long she's been gone. >> reporter: police launched a search of the area, seemingly leaving no stone unturned. questions have been raised about discrepancies in deborah and jere jeremy's account of the night. >> you reported the lights were turned off and you went to bed. jeremy came home at 4:00 a.m. and the lights were on. obviously whoever took the baby wouldn't turn lights on. were you wrong about that? >> when he came in the bedroom and said, all the lights are on in the house it was an exaggeration. >> reporter: kansas city police continue to investigate the disappearance but say the couple has not fully cooperated, telling nbc news deborah bradley and jeremy irwin have still not

sat down to talk with detectives separately as we need. it's an important step for the case to move forward and we're hopeful they will do that. the parents are hopeful some day baby lisa will come home to the family. >> my boys talk about her all the time. they ask about her. i keep telling them, we're never going to stop looking. we're going to find her. >> reporter: police have not named a suspect. they say although the quantity and quality of tips has decreased they are actively investigating. >> lilia luciano, thank you very much. there are new developments in the strange illness at a high school in upstate new york. amy robach has the latest on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. as we have been reporting, more than a dozen girls at leroy high school say they have severe tics and verbal outbursts. now a 36-year-old woman says she has the same symptoms.

licensed nurse practitioner marge fitzsimmons is from leroy, new york. >> it started with sudden head jerks and started the middle of october. >> reporter: she's the latest, most notably the oldest person to step forward with severe tics. >> today is a good day. >> reporter: this is a good day? >> this is an excellent day. >> reporter: what's a bad day like? >> a bad day is the days that i can no longer control the vocal ticks. >> reporter: marge's symptoms are similar to those suffered by a growing number of teenage girls who attend leroy high school. >> i used to cheer every day. of i would go to art class. i used to go to two art classes every day. now i'm not in school. >> i feel like people look at me

and judge me. >> reporter: doctors have come to the conclusion that a psychiatric condition known as conversion disorder is to blame. >> this is a sub conscious effect that occurs in patients who may be prone to anxiety or mood disorders but this is definitely real symptoms. >> reporter: many of the girls' participates won't accept the diagnosis. neither will a team of environmentalists headed up by erin brock vich made famous by julia roberts's oscar-winning performance. many are taking soil and other samples from around the soil. they want to know if the problem could be related to a train derailment more than 40 years ago involving a large chemical spill including cyanide. >> i think what will stop the hysteria is if we can work together to come to an answer. >> reporter: erin brock vich's team has come down. outside environmentalists testing the soil, testing the scene of the train derailment.

what are your thoughts on that? it's hard to talk. i know. i'm sorry. >> at least somebody is trying to get answers. and it's unfortunate that it did take so long. at least somebody's doing something about it now. >> reporter: the environmental protection agency has also arrived this week at the site of the derailment in response to the outcry from parents. however, the epa insist it is train derailment site is not related to the high school students. for marge who played as a girl near the site of the derailment, answers can't come soon enough. >> this is really scary. it's like somebody came in and took home away. >> reporter: brockovich's team say they will share the results and the school district says they have ruled out

environmental causes saying the school is safe and the new york state health department reached the same con can collusion, matt. >> amy robach, thank you very much. now a check of the weather in indianapolis from al roker. >> announcer: today's weather is brought to you by jared, the galleria of jewelry with five time it is selection of ordinary jewelry stores. >> we had a blast. in case you missed it, one of the big attractions at super bowl village is an 800-foot-long zip line we got to do just a few minutes ago. it zips along. takes about 30 seconds to do 800 feet. it's a great way to see -- i don't remember it really. but i had a great time. this is a testament to our technical staff. they have this little hero camera so we could be live. i don't know how they do this stuff. i don't know how they do this stuff. i do know how to do the weather

a recent op-ed in the new york times set off a debate over the causes of the disorder and whether children are overmedicated. here's nbc's chief medical editor dr. nancy snyderman. >> he was all over the classroom during circle time. he used to spin on his knees. he used to roll around on the floor. >> reporter: at age 6 nancy and david's son brendan was diagnosed with adhd. he's been taking a modified version of ritalin almost daily for the past ten months. >> it's like night and day. he can't interact with his peers as well when he's not medicated. he can't listen to instructions. >> reporter: in a recent new york times op-ed psychologist alan sroufe questioned whether ritalin and adderall are over prescribed. >> i'm not saying no child should be on medication. i'm saying i am entirely

skeptical that the 3 million children currently on medication should be. >> reporter: sroufe suggests family stresses play a role in behavior issues. he writes, for example, a 6-month-old baby is playing and the parent picks it up quickly from behind and plunges it in the bath. such practices excessively stimulate and also compromise the child's developing capacity for self-regulation. >> i think the trouble with that article is the fact that it continues a heritage we have in this country of blame and shame. to suggest that if they didn't pick up their baby correctly at 6 months old that somehow that could cause a brain disorder that would require the child to take medicine. psychiatric illness is different than that. >> the idea that adhd is an in-born brain disease and the only way to help is with medication.

all scientists know genes and environment interact. >> reporter: brendan's parents disagree and feel genetics played a primary role in their son's adhd. >> it's not bad parenting. i'm sure there are kids that are badly behaved because their parents are bad parents. that doesn't mean badly behaved kids are adhd. >> good morning. >> hey, matt. >> imagine you're a parent being told when you read this that perhaps it's something you did that brought this adhd on. >> i'm one of those parents and the maternal guilt of what did i eat wrong, was delivery too fast, what did i do wrong parenting? there is a lot of self-doubt when you raise children that don't fit into societal norms. when you have a child who can't sit in circle time and will walk around the class, that's seen as bad behavior. it means the blaine wiring is different. what you see in this piece is psychology versus psychiatry and the battle over what it means.

>> and the battle over medication. we have one person saying children are severely overmedicated. on the other hand, you have parents saying, this medication has changed my child's life. >> both true. we probably are overmedicating some kids. but the reality is the pharmaceutical industry whether you like or loathe them saw an unmet need ffor neurotrans mitters. there are children for whom schools and society weren't adapting. we talked to parents who have children who have been medicated and are doing in better in school who say this has changed my child's life. what have we talked about over the years? you just want your kid in the middle of the pack. you don't want the brainiest but you don't want the last one on the bus. sf sfm. >> do we understand the potential side effects of the medications? >> we don't know long-term side effects because the drugs are new. people say, what's the safety,

20, 30 years out? we don't know. we have to do post market surveillance. yeah, there are concerns. in the meantime you want your kid to get through high school, be socially aware and go on to have a decent career. >> thank you very much. >> you bet. >> coming up next, we go back to indianapolis for a preview of madonna's super bowl halftime show. we'll get to that right after this.

glamorous with cathedral ceilings, polished wall floors and modern lights. there are painted built in bookshelves. i'm not a lover of gray walls but it works there. looks delicious. the family room is large enough to double as a guest room. it has french doors, an eat-in kitchen with granite counters, a tiled back splash and sharp white cabinets. and the den almost looks like an extension of the kitchen. a neat day bed tucked away with storage. great for a guest. there is a patio out back with a pool of it own. your own waterfall surrounded by tall hedges so you can go skinny dipping whenever you want. >> you and the skinny dipping, barbara. >> i see myself there. >> okay. so do we. next, charlotte, north carolina,
