do that? how do you go about doing that? >> i think poems are good at doing thatten their own. people have anxieties about maybe i. don't know how to read a poem or haven't studied enough. i think if you can put that aside and say what do the words on the page say, they speak to you. and i want to encourage more people to do that and talk about what they hear and what they feel. >> we have a few more seconds left. any advice for parents that want to give this love of poetry to their children? how do they do that? >> children are born poets. children love metaphor and music. foster that by reading to them and don't feel they can only read children's poetry. >>. she's going to give her reading tonight in the coolidge auditorium. thank you for being with us. good luck. >> thank you. we showed you the damage in florida. still being uncovered after hurricane irma. after the break, a look at the destruction on

day seven since hurricane irma's eye passed just to the north of this rock and the clean up effort continues. behind me you see the royal caribbean ship. they are going to take on more evacuees who want to get off the island today and set sail for san juan to our west where the evacuees will disembark and continue on to st. martin. here on the island more resources came in yesterday. we took the u.s. coast guard cutter in from san juan. they were bringing members of the tsa to the island. what they are going to do is get the airport on the west end back up and running perhaps by the weekend. we might see some commercial air traffic start again. there are food and water supplies here. there are check points for people who have been affected here to go to the places to get their supplies for the day. the death toll official

irma still stands at fur here on st. thomas. crews continue to go through the island looking for anymore potential victims and going forward now they want to troy to get the infrastructure up and running. there's still a curfew here from 6:00 p.m. to noon the following day. i spoke to the lieutenant governor yesterday. he says perhaps by thursday or friday they may be able to ease some of those restrictions. that's the latest here on st. thomas. let's send it back to you. >> thanks to ron moth. >> it only fo took an hour for celebrities to encourage people to donate nearly $15 million for hurricane relief. you may have watched the who's who on your tv. you saw oprah, beyonce, george cloo e knee, julia roberts, cher and more. ♪

that's going to pass to the north of us and be responsible for rain. just scattered showers. by the time we get to the weekend, we are drying out. a lot of that rain that we saw earlier this morning has lifted to the north. what you're seeing now is a satellite imagery and some cloud cover. once you go off to the west into west virginia, it's clearer. we are going to break down the clouds and get some sunshine here. now this is irma. what's left of it. that is going to be scooting through at least the area of low pressure will be scooting through pennsylvania tomorrow and it's a going to bring us light, scattered showers. temperatures with the clouds and a little bit of rain we have gotten out there today are stuck in the 60s and 70s. once we get the pops of sunshine, the. temperatures is going to go up and we'll be in the 70s and 80s. being more optimistic we're going to get some sunshine. temperatures in the low 80s. we'll be dry for the remainder of the afternoon. then as we go through tomorrow, that's when we're going to have some more rain headed our way. that's from

let's time it out once again. a few rain showers for the morning commute. we have some periods of dry conditions with more scattered showers moving in throughout the afternoon and evening. again, just a small chance of some thunder as well. and maybe a small chance of a passing shower on friday. temperatures on friday in the 80s. look at the weekend. we clear out for that. as we go into our next forecast in just about ten minutes, we're talking about the track of jose and extend the forecast out for you. >> thank you. imagine seeing a tractor-trailer in the lane behind you with no driver. a possibility that lawmakers are debating. the group taking a stand against that. >> and new reaction on the closure of the lion sisters case. we told you about the guilty plea. today we sit down with the. top prosecutor on the case changing the area and whether

it may have taken four decades, but now the parents of two girls who vanished on their way finally have some closure. they accused killer pled guilty to two counts of first-degree

prison. >> it's been a long time and we're tired. and we just want to go home. >> the murder has haunted residents in montgomery county for 42 years. county police cold case detectives are credited with their releaptless pursuit of the case which they called operation worthy cause. >> a despicable human being answered for his part in the crimes against katherine and sheena la. >> they still maintains he did not sexually abuse the girls himself. others were involved. right now there's no evidence to pursue charges against anyone else. the state's attorney for montgomery county where the girls vanished 42 years ago will not punish him for the abduction. >> thank you for being here. so why not prosecute here? >> every decision that'sve

made with full consultation of the family. montgomery county had jurisdiction over the abduction of the girls, but the horrific crimes that came after the abduction including their murders, we did not have jurisdiction over because they occurred outside the boundaries of the county. they were probably taken into prince georges county within ten minutes with their abduction. we wanted to make sure welsh was held responsible for the homicide and didn't want to give them -- my case was probably the simplest. because he confessed to being involved in the abduction of the girls with intent to defile. we didn't want to give them a dry run on a case here that would in some cay make it more difficult to convict them in the murder. we went behind closed doors and it was a tactical decision made with the consultation to go there first. what happened over the last three years as the details have become known to the family has weighed heavily on

he he wanted this resolution to go through and it was only through if we made the agreement not to do that. it was at the request of the family. they needed this to end. and they have been tortured by this. the last three years have probably been the hardest three years because the details of what happened have now become known to them and they are very difficult, horrific and i honored the wishes of the family. i think we got a sentence this this case. >> can we talk a little bit about ta. is that the outcome that you hoped for, that you expected? this is an area that has for decades seen this story and seen it evolve. can you talk about the impact on the community that this has had. >> it was march 25th, 19 75, i was teaching high school. i lived in that community. i taught in that community when this happened. at

innocence. it had an impact on me then, i lived here then. it has had an impact on the community. there are two cases that act like a specter over the 37 years i have been in the office. brad bishop and the lion sisters. >> you also want to talk about mental health courts in montgomery county. this is the one year anniversary. >> one year anniversary of the mental health courts. we have an update about what's happening in terms of implementation of the mental health courts. one of the great needs that we have in the criminal justice area is the fact that lack of resources to deal with mepeople who are defaulted into the criminal justice system who need mental health treatment rather than criminalization of their conduct. we have the mental health court. what's the need? the need is that publicly they say that about 1 out of 3 people in jail belong in hospitals. our mental health court we're at capacity. in one year. and that just tells

koind of pent up demand we had had. i'm proud we're doing what we're doing. it's humane and the right thing and more appropriate. we try to break the cycle of people who come back in and out of the system regularly when the real problem is not criminality, it's mental health. >> state attorney general, thank you for being here. >> thank you. right now, we are keeping an eye on the men and women that you elected and what they are working on in the senate. the commerce committee is considering the effort to get self-driving trucks on the roads. if that sounds scary, the head of the teamsters agrees. he says hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost and the roads will not be as safe. on the house side, lawmakers talking about neeorth korea. the u.n. approved tougher sanctions against the country, but president trump says they are not tough enough. here's more on the growing tensions between the u.s. and north korea. >> reporter: today the south

korean military letting it be noun they are forming de. capitation squads that can infiltrate north korea. g assassinate the leadership. they also unveiled another advanced weapon, but they say is a cruise missile that can invade radar, and targets hundreds of miles away. another round of live military exercises today that are happening as a show of force and just about every day now as they step up their military posture here in the face of a north korea threat. it's on high alert. a lot of expectations at the north may fire more missiles in response to those u.n. sanctions passed yesterday. sanctions that are aimed at cutting off money and fuel flowing to the north. sanctions that fall well short of what the united states wanted. like a total oil embargo. president trump saying that these are just a small step forward and warning of more consequences to come if the north doesn't back down. again today, more angry rhetoric from the north. the

of the south and the daily watch continuing to see if north korea carries out its threat to fire off more missiles. ron allen, nbc news, seoul. it's hump day. which has us looking ahead to the weekend. >> a look at the weekend forecast. and a false church astronaut is among the new crew of the international space station. what he is most looking forward to nowhat he is in space. t

this is the cloud cover right here. we're drying back off to the west. but all of the sprinkles and everything to the north you may be getting a little drizzle. but for the most part we're trying to clear all this out. but again we will see that area of low pressure lift up towards pennsylvania. bringing more scattered showers our way. but we'll be dry this afternoon. temperatures in the 60s and 70s once we get the sunshine that. temperature will go up. over the next several hours, we're looking good with peeks of sunshine. it will be a great evening. but scattered light showers around. temperatures around 80. even a a thunderstorm possible tomorrow afternoon. so again, we can have a few s t scattered showers at 4:00. both commutes, morning and evening. and maybe a few rumbles of thunder, but that's about it. jose is a category 1 hurricane.

it's coming up and around and will just miss the east coast as it continues. this is going to be something we have to watch. that ten-day coming up in a little bit. >> warming up, what the simple act has to do with treating depression. >> and we are cooking with one of our areas top chefs today. lock a his ntew

secelebrated chef and restaurant tour is running two exciting restaurants in d.c. kinship and youzs produce from the bay garden in virginia to make some of the dishes he serves. joining us is the chef to tell us more about the unique partnership. thanks for being here. you have a restaurant and what made you want to do this garden project? >> we're very ingredient focused and drimpb with that. being able to grow your own products and inspiring and just the relationship at the guys. for one of our garden inspired, we're doing a soup. it's a southern virginia recipe. i think one of the things about gardens is you have nothing and then you wert. find a lot of friends.

everything. so this is a great opportunity to use some of your to matoes before they ripen. >> tomato season, are we done? >> and so this is even more timely because with all of a sudden it becoming winter or fall overnight, we have probably 100 pounds of tomatoes that aren't going to ripen. so we'll turn them all into the same green tomato soup. she's going to be a late fall dish. so we sweat the garlic and shallots. >> is that what smells so good? >> yeah. a little salt in there. you always want to season as you go. put in the green tomatoes. >> you kept them cold. is that important? >> that's more because i need the bowl to be cold. i'm going to serve the soup chilled. >> you cook that down. do you add any liquid? >> you want the liquid to

start to come out of it. >> but no additional. >> i'm going to add some liquid. we're going to add water today. i would normally add some water and some veg stock. then we'll let that cook down until we get to this point which takes about 15 minutes. my big pet peeve about soups is everybody feels like they can cook it to death. you don't want to do that. >> even if it's going to be a soup any way. >> i'm going to puree it so i can kill it. this was cooked for maybe 15 minutes. cook it for 30 seconds to keep the freshness. an overcooked vegetable is different than a properly cooked vegetable. even in a soup. so that's now done. we'll turn this off. now we're going to use what i would call proper blender techniques so we're going to strain this twice. we're going to strain

of the liquid out. >> i forgot to bring your apron. >> i would wear one too. so you blend this for how long? >> until it's smooth. >> the reason we take the liquid out is to get a better puree. >> there we don't go. it's not working. >> so in the real world what we would do is puree the soup. we're going to thin it out with this liquid. so you strain the liquid out to get it pureed as well as possible. then thin it to the consistency you want. >> then you add? >> whatever garnishes you want. so this is roasted y

tomato. we'll mix that with a little bit of red pepper. a little bit of diced, grilled red onion. the peppers for this, you can really put whatever you want in it. we're doing the peppers marinated. the red onion grilled. >> it looks delicious. i'm sorry that e we couldn't get this blender to work. but thank you so much for joining us. we'll be back next week to talk more about produce in the fall. thank you, chef. no laughing matter. funny lady walks away with a big win. how she made legal history. there goes

alternatives to medicine to treat different kinds of problems. what ask this all about? >> so this was a very interesting study. it was a small study looking at 34 healthy adults who had depression. so other than depression, they were healthy. what they did is half the group were heated using these heating cores with which were applied to their chest and lower extremities. they also had these heating coil when is they weren't heated as much. they had had their body. temperature inkrecreased to the point they got to 101.3 e degrees. in general that took about an hour and a half of laying there with the heating coils. the other group got their temperature raised to 99.5 degrees. what they wanted to great is a placebo. so that's what they were trying to do. and then they evaluated how those people did over time with

what they found was that very few of the people in that placebo group with the heating got better but the group that got heated up to 101.3 degrees shs the vast majority of them had a reduction and significant improvement in their depression scores. >> how quickly did they see the benefits? >> so this study followed people out for six weeks. what they found was that people responded within one week. so most of the benefits started within one to two weeks and did persist up to the six-week mark. the study didn't go that long. but this is significant primarily because we're always looking for more rapid ways to treat depression. one of the problems with the traditional treatments is that they can take one to two months before you start to have a response. that's why there's this interest in things like ketamine. people are getting ket ketamine

rapid effect. >> could they sit in a hot tub oreo ga, anything you think about really heated temperatures? is that beneficial? >> so ween don't know. i think that's an interesting question that i think they should be studying. the problem is that with this study, it took about an hour and a half to get the body temperature up. so to sit for an hour and a half in a hot tub or sauna is probably not that healthy for you. you get dehydration and other issues. maybe there's some benefit to that, but i would not recommend that people go out and start sitting for an hour and a half in a hot sauna to make sure they raise their body. temperature. i think it's an area of interest. >> are there options out there for this sort of heating method? would you recommend it to patients? >> the answer is it's not ready for prime time. this was a small study. the reason i'm bringing it up is i think it's interesting. it shows there are different ways that we can potentially treat e depression. but t a

your core body temperature raised. maybe if they have repeat studies with larger number of patients and they are able to demonstrate this is a real consistent effect. we might start seeing some of the centers opening up. and we'll start e seeing people getting it. but right now that's not happening. >> last question, four people looking for nonmedication ways to treat depression. what else would you offer them without the coil treatments available yet? >> there are lots of things. we don't really know what causes depression. so there's this theory it has to do with inflammation, low sugar, probiotics, magnesium, exercise. exercise is pretty much as good as antidepressant medication when it comes to treating depression. there are other options related to lifestyle. >> exercise is good for everything. thank you as always. we want to get one final check of the weather. it's still look gloomy out

looking up. >> they are looking up. we're going to get some sunshine as we continue through the remainder of the afternoon. the sun is not going down until after 7:00 so we have plenty of time. the sprinkles this morning are gone. more sunshine we get, the better chance we have of our temperatures getting into the 80s. do expect scattered showers throughout the day. it's nots going to rain the whole time, but we're going to have scattered showers throughout the day. temperatures in the 70s to around 80. friday maybe a passing shower, but we'll be dry and the weekend looks fantastic. temperatures in the low to mid-80s for the weekend. it will be comfortable both on saturday and sunday. then as we head into next week, we're going to have to watch the track of jose. right now it stays out in the ocean. but a lot could change between now and early next week so that will be dependent on that track for our forecast. we'll keep an eye on that. >> let's it for news 4 midday. we're back at 4:00 this afternoon. >> you can get the news and weather any time on the nbc in
