he told london's daily mail that he believes slavery benefitted descendents like him.u think? should jones be fired? is this a double standard because he's a black athlete, or have times changed now? >> well, if somebody were to fire him, i would understand. i think an important variable to point out is jimmy the greek worked on cbs' "nfl today." that's a very conservative organization. you'll wind up getting fired. i think it's ridiculous. if he had not been fired, it wouldn't have been an issue. the real fireable offense was letting someone put a microphone in his face when he had no business talking on television. >> kevin, should he be fired? >> i don't think so. michael is more on a personal journey. this is in context of a

johnson told london's daily mail in part he believes slavery benefits athletes like him, so should heoo? they're back. what do you think? should jones be fired or is this a double standard because he is a black athlete or have times changed now? >> well, if somebody were to fire him, i would understand, but jimmy the greek worked on c cbs nfl today. associated with the nfl, you will get fired for. if he had not been fired, i don't think it would have been an issue, but i think the real fireable offense for him was that somebody put a microphone in his face when he had no business talking on television. >> kenneth, should he be fired? >> i don't think so. michael's on more of a personal journey. this was more of a documentary. he made some comments, believing what he believes, but without going through a full scientific method to understand what the reality is. >> does it sound worse coming from the the mouth of a white man? do you think that's why? herbalsy, you know, the language that jimmy the greek used, a big, black man with his big, black woman for a big, black baby. but come on,

he told london daily mail in part the following. so should he be fired too? author and professor kenneth shopshire and what do you think? should jones be fired or a double standard because he is a black athlete or have times changed now? >> well, somebody were to fire him, i would understand but i think an important variable to point out on that is jimmy the greek worked on cbs, the nfl today. the nfl is a very conservative don't rock the boat sort of operation. that's the sort of thing that being associated with the nfl, you will wind up getting fired for. i think it's ridiculous. jimmy the greek had he not been fired i don't think an issue but i think the fireable offense for him letting somebody put a microphone if his face when he had no business talking on television. >> kenneth, should he be fired? >> i don't think so. i think michael is more on a personal journey. this is in context of a documentary. he made some comments at a point believing what he believes but without going through a full scientific method and understand what the reality is. >> does

the editor of "the daily mail" tweets, serious dismay at romney's debut. worse than sarah palin, total car crash. two of the kinder verdicts. hash tag romney shambles. that same editor later tweeted, another verdict from one romney meeting, apparently devoid of charm, warmth, humor or sincerity. hash tag romney shambles mitt hits the fan. the "london times" tweets, we're the special relationship, the easy peasy bit of u.s. foreign relations. how will he deal with china? a correspondent for "the telegraph" writes, mitt romney is perhaps the only politician who could start a trip that was supposed to be a charm offensive by being utterly devoid of charm and mildly offensive. and lucy jones of "the telegraph" writes, mitt romney is wazzock. there's one thing romney could learn while he's in britain this week -- some manners. so what did mitt romney do to be called worse than sarah palin? first he said the london olympics might have some serious problems. >> you know, it's hard to know just how well it will turn out. there were a few things that were disconcer

the closer here, at least according to a daily mail report here, and some others that we've seen, may be paul mccartney. according to "daily mail" he may be singing "hey jude" for the final song and asking the audience to join in. the directors say for the most part they want it to be is surprise. >> we can sometimes seem a bit chilly and not emotional. it's surprising a generous nation. we trying to save the surprise, not because of the secret but the delight of the evening to be discovered. >> "slumdog millionaire" director danny boil talking about the show that he's directing saying that he really wants it to reflect what the british are like and he wants people to be wowed by this. keeping the mind the budget for this is half what we saw in beijing. beijing really wowed us. but the brits here, london, is promising more of the same. we'll be keeping a close eye this weekend on some of your local athletes, especially mraz the hockey preliminaries get under way. a couple from the university of maryland and one from centerville as well. >> tracie potts live in london this morning. tra

(applause) how do you screw up a trip to england. all you got to do when you go there, look to your right when are you crossing the street and keep your naked balls out of people's tea it is to the like you are in papua new guinea where they explain when you shake that guy's hand t means you want to [bleep] that guy's wichlt don't do that you have britain's prime minister to insult euro limb pick experience back. >> we are holding an olympic games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in

"the daily mail" headline, romney's terrible, horrible no good very bad day in lun done. the guardian's website, mitt romney's olympic blunder stuns number 10 and hands gift to obama. the headlines coming in response this comment about london's readiness for the games. >> in the short time you've been here in london do they look ready to your experienced eye? >> you know, it's hard to know just how well, it will turn out. there are a few things that were disconcerting, the stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials, that obviously is not something which is encouraging, because in the games, there are three parts to make games successful. snm number one are the athletes. number two are the volunteers and they'll have great volunteers, but number three, are the people of the country. do they come together and celebrate the olympic moment and that's something which we will find out once the games actually begin. >> so prime minister david cameron caught wind of that remark and shot back durin

"the daily mail" reports paul mccartney will play "hey jude." >> it's absolutely incredible. so speechless. i'm probably going to cry. >> reporter: around olympic park there's so much to see and do. >> go under. >> reporter: workers are putting the finishing touches on the park. archery is the only sporting event happening here today. security is tight. fbi agents are helping british soldiers keeping the olympics secure. this 265 pound wrestler jokes, maybe he should be on the security team. >> usually i'm my own security. i don't know. all these guys should feel safe because i'm here. >> reporter: the olympic torch is here welcomed by the royals thursday. it arrived at the stadium tonight. tracie potts, nbc news, london. >>> don't miss the coverage of tonight's historic opening ceremony in london beginning at 7:30 right here on this nbc station. >>> severe weather hit parts of the midwest and northeast on thursday knocking out power to more than 200,000 people. in elmira, new york, a possible tornado brought down trees and power lines. there were multiple reports of damaged

according to the report from "the daily mail" which is where we got the story, these chimpanzees climbed out of their enclosure with a makeshift ladder with tree branches. this video was shot by a guy who just happened to be a tourist at this zoo when this happened. >> beth, please tell me they didn't attack anybody. >> luckily these chimpanzees did not attack anyone. people were wrangled into different areas of the zoo, like the gift shop. there was a 5-year-old girl that had some minor injuries and they say it was because one of the chimpanzees knocked her over. >> don't tell me the chimps got hurt? >> this is the other amazing part of the story. four of the five chimpanzees went back to their enclosure on their own. the other one was the leader of the pack, according to zoo officials, and he was easily coaxed back into his enclosure. >> i wonder what they'll do to prevent this from happening again. >> get rid of the branches. >> maybe next time they'll make a makeshift elevator. >>> according to some reports, the zoo may have to foot the bill for all the police cars, ambulances, fire

here is the headline in the daily mail. as, quote, devoid of charm, offensive, and a wazzock. so for those of you who don't know, dictionary.com defines wazzock as a foolish or annoying person. toure, i ask you, is mitt romney a wazzock? >> is it a wazz-ack or a wazzock? i would put a longer oh on that. the rank and file, part of why the primary took so long. and the chattering class elite conservatives are not in love with him, are quick to sort of jump on his back from the rupert murdoch tweet to krauthammer, they're constantly ready to criticize him because this is not a guy who they are in love with. and i think secretly they would like to see him lose and put up somebody who they love in 2016, because they'd be stuck with him for at least four years and they would be grumbling. but how can they be grumbling when it's their guy. this london trip is not making any of them. >> it's been reported romney told a story, one he says former reagan chief of staff james baker tells where reagan told baker he wouldn't deal with fo

who invited pae ed party popper asks "the daily mail?" how should we react to this kerfuffle? it seems this man who has trouble speaking earthling here at home, who talks of flying on an aircraft of marvelous budgets, of being a severe conservative can be just as awkward when acting the diplomat abroad. here is a question. if a gentleman is someone who doesn't insult someone unintentionally, then mitt romney with all his posh schooling has not been very much of a gentleman this weekend. and if this insult of the london olympics calling the preparations disconcerting was intentional, what is this guy up to? i thought he wanted to improve anglo-american relations, not trash them. let's hear from two british reporters who are covering this story. simon marks and chris ship of itv. let me go to simon. just tell me what is going on here. why are the american people and their special relations with the brits, the british, causing trouble, and why are the british just jumping on this guy -- i don't know how to describe it. how do you describe it? >> chris, there is no question that t

but inside the daily mail, who invited party popper romney. >> oh no. that's the headline there. and other newspapers, the london times says "nowhere man romney loses his way with gaffe about the games." >> let's start over here again, simon, and talk about the special relationship. i know that somebody way back in the obama administration unfortunately said what special relationship. i've always treasured, i'm a churchill nut. well like churchill more than you do over there. this relationship, i've always liked it whenever the brits, the british people like an american movie for example. i saw "blades of glory" over there with my daughter and i loved laughing with the brits at an american movie, something ludicrous with will ferrell. what is our relationship? here is a tricky one. what is the relationship between the old country and the new world right now? >> well, look, it's absolutely clear, chris, that there is a special relationship. it's a special relationship that was forged back in 1939 with the alliance during the second world war. it's a special relationship that has t

the daily mail reporting that organizers are considering new rules for tickets. could lose your ticket if you don't take your seat within half an hour of the start of an event. the british prime minister says there will always with be a problem with empty seats. but they are trying to make sure they are used when possible. that is a frustrating thing for the british over here. they had to be on wait lists to get tickets for the events and they watch on tv and there are all these empty seats. >> i don't blame them. >> other than that. seems like the olympics have been going pretty well, wouldn't you say? >> reporter: it's been very smooth and the weather has been great. today is the second day it started out a little drippy in jolly old england. but they are expecting the next couple days to not be as rainy. >> have you been to the beach volleyball competition at all by the way? >> reporter: vance, it's funny i figured you would ask that. that is on the agenda. >> we are talking about the men's one right? >> that's the one he wants to check out. >> reporter: you c

"the daily mail" screams this question. who invited party popper romney? request "the sun" called him mitt the twit, and "the daily telegraph" says, mitt romney is perhaps the only politician who could start a trip that was supposed to be a charm offensive by being utterly devoid of charm and mildly offensive. jim, conservative media is actually downplaying romney's missteps. they say he was merely being honest about the olympic games in london, and britain should understand that. is that romney's view? >> well, honestly, carol, mitt romney has done a couple of interviews. one with cnn's piers morgan and another on "the today show" on nbc and he is not really acknowledging publicly some of the criticism he's gotten here in london since those comments he made to nbc a couple of days ago about the city's readiness for the olympic games. you mentioned those headlines in the london newspapers. i have the one you just mentioned in "the sun," mitt the twit. i think this morning it's safe to say that the romney campaign probably has a new use for the olympic torch
