he has spoken to fitzgerald already and said he sees a lot of upside from one of last year's best storiesover to second and continue to build on what he did last season. the rumors here in dallas are that the giants are still after starting pitching. corbin burnes, who pitched at saint mary's, is the best pitcher remaining on the market. if he gets a big deal from the giants, that would exceed what adam has got and adam's deal, remember, is bigger than buster posey's, which previously had been the biggest contract in franchise history. asked generally about the rotation today, posey kind of threw cold water on the rumors he said he's very confident in the young pitchers. the giants have, and he's looking forward to seeing more of kyle harrison. hayden birdsong, landen group and others. of course, nobody really saw them coming for adams as quickly as they did, so they still could go out and add a big name to the rotation, and you can listen to more of alex in our giants insiders throughout the winter meetings this week by downloading the giants talk podcast. okay. did you see this? it is a

let's bring in nbc news' meagan fitzgerald in london. what is the latest at this hour?ct i want to read for you the rebels released a statement saying that assad has fled, president trump is saying that assad is gone and that russia was not interested in protecting him any longer. and just within the last couple of minutes, russia also confirmed that assad has left his post, following negotiations and this is a direct quote here, with other participants in the conflict and has given instructions for a peaceful power transfer. but, look, we're also hearing from assad's prime minister who said he last had contact with him on saturday evening, but has no idea where he is. now, as far as this offensive is concerned, it has taken everybody by surprise. it was a lightning fast offensive, which kicked off less than two weeks ago, when the rebels captured aleppo. but it accelerated over the last 48 hours. last night, rebels took over homs, the largest province in syria, seizing control of the syrian lebanese border. and cutting off the road between damascus and syrian coast, wh

nbc's meagan fitzgerald has more on the latest incident. >> reporter: we are talking about an aircraftpeople before it crashed after the landing gear apparently failed. we want to warn you the footage you are about to see is graphic. you can see the moment this plane started skidding down the runway before colliding into a wall and exploding into a massive fire ball. south korean officials say two people were pulled from the wreckage. everyone else on board died. flight radar from bangkok to south korea did not appear to show anything unusual. owe fficials say a bird strike have caused the deadly events. investigators are searching for answers and rescuers are covering the bodies of those who did not make it. officials say it could take between six months to three years to complete a full investigation. back to you. >> and we have a live shot of the runway and, of course, the jet airliner at muan airport. it lined at 9:00 a.m. local time. 00 gmt. it was operated by jeju air which is the most popular budget airlines. transport officials were saying it was attempting to make a landing af

nbc's meagan fitzgerald is following all of this from london. how did this apology come about? >> reporter: there was a phone conversation between vladimir putin and president of azerbaijan and that is where this apology happened but as you mentioned putin stopped short of taking responsibility. the statement went on to say putin called the crash a tragic incident that occurred in russian airspace. the statement went on to reference grozny, a russian city where the aircraft was heading to and it talks about how it was undergoing in the middle of ukrainian drone attacks and the russians were trying to fend off those attacks. this is reporting that is in line with reporting nbc news obtained yesterday by two military officials who say that intelligence suggests russia may have misidentified the airline and shot it down thinking it was a drone. look at the footage we are seeing coming in moments after the crash where you can see the exterior of the aircraft and what appears to be what could possibly be some shrapnel damage. again, an ongoing investigation right now. azerbaijan off

you know, if scott fitzgerald said no second acts in american john lewis, you know, i talked about from protest to politics. you know, he had that protest phase. what accounts for this remarkable second act in politics. and lillian, i think is a large part of it, she put the stillness behind. she encouraged his ambitions, gave him the confidence in many ways because he his dying day thought of himself as just this, you know, shy boy from the farm. i mean once he met queen elizabeth and he came back to his office wide eyed, can you believe like this from alabama? like met the queen. and so he always had that internal sense of himself as just, you know, just the kid, poor kid, the farm. but lillian helped him believe you can run for office. you can run against your best friend, bond. you can get elected. she even thought he could be. and i think she was an important part of his political. well, i'm glad you got to julian bond, because that's where i would like to go next. you know, your book mentions that president carter puts him in charge of action and and he's on the atlanta city counc

as a no the crashes involved with the mccain and fitzgerald was one factor.something basic sleep is one of the factors. you talked about the filipino critic came on board. i think you called out to find it get any of their native language speakers for all sailor generate. i love grassroots and that was example of it. >> why was that important to you that they be treated so well that they come out of that positive experience. wasn't enough that frankly you save the life? >> i think this is question of empathy. you just lost your ship. you just lost at shit even work with for months or years. you lost all your stuff. i don't know what that stuff was but it could be your laptop, some personal belongings. we need to be sympathetic about that. we've talked about the fact that we were there to save people's lives. and again to get to see the faces of those people which is not something we normally get to do in the navy being on ships, was remarkable for us. so a big morale booster at the end there. also a morale booster to the fact that we are transitioning to go b

scott fitzgerald said there are no second acts in american lives, he clearly had not come across jimmyausoleum to myself. i'm going to build something future, proactive, good for the world. i'm going to cash this check of ex-presidency for mankind. >> the first idea is why don't we make a miniature camp david at the carter center. i let foreigners come to the carter center, i'll negotiate peace between them. if they want me to, i'll come to their country and negotiate peace. >> that has evolved into the carter center's core mission, to promote human rights and resolve conflicts over the world. in the past several decades they have secured more than 100 open elections in troubled countries. >> we have a very simple but important mission in haiti. >> in 1994 with battleships already on their way, carter prevented a u.s. military invasion of haiti by persuading the military junta there to step aside. >> former president jimmy carter crossed the dmz today. >> that same year carter diffused a nuclear standoff between the united states and north korea. jimmy carter was now seen as someone wh
