tracie potts has the details from d.c. tracie, good morning. >> frances, good morning. this is a new development, the fact that a federal grand jury may now be looking into not the accident but how that plane was whether this was more than justy criminal activity and questions being asked whether there was something there. remember, it was just yesterday that we heard from pilot captain chesley sullenberger who pointed out the fact that boeing was involved in the process, working on some of its own planes, and the transportation secretary has asked the inspector general for which he calls an objective and detailed audit of how that process played out. in the meantime, the boeing 737 max 8 and max 9 are grounded in the united states until they can verify safety. >> all right, tracie. >>> and shifting now to this mueller investigation here. there is growing speculation that the special counsel is nearing the end of that. we've known it could happen any day now. >> rite. and there was an intes mueller asked the cou 11-day extension, saying they are going to be very busy in

nbc's tracie potts went behind the scenes to find out.there getting a crash course. >> reporter: i did. frances and marlie, it was really interesting to see how doctors learn to do what they do. so you go to medical school, but that learning is not over. take a look. inside the mayo clinic, thisas the florida campus. they have what they call the simulation center. and, yeah, that's me delivers a baby, not a real one, but real enough. i will say that. this is an area, it's a high-tech area where doctors learn and nurses and other medical professionals learn to practice their craft. so there victoria got her baby. everything turned out fine. but sometimes they change the scenario so a patient may have a heart attack, for example, in the middle of delivery. and there's me again trying to save a guy, unfortunately not quite as successful this time around. but it was interesting to see because we learned that medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the united states. so keeping doctors on the job is very important, and that's pa

tracie, good morning. >> hi there, frances, good morning. expectations are high here in washington and around the country. it's been 22 month, nearly two years since this investigation russian election interference began. and of course part of that is whether or not the trump campaign and the president orself were either involved aware that is what robert mueller and his team have been looking into. but this report is confidential. it's inlrnal. it w only good to attorney general william barr, who wecl thene how to release or what to release to congress and to the public. he's only required to give a summary to congress. lots ofeople asking questions now about whether this report will meet those high expectations. >> people are going to be really disappointed on both sides. i think the female who are expecting exoneration are going to be idisappointed, ahink people who are expecting to see dictments and fireworks are going to be disappointed. >> now, even though the law says they don't have to release all of , democrats want to see every bit

in 1989 tracy edwards and her all—female crew were openly mocked as girls doing a man's job when theyaiden, the film named after their racing boat, is the story of that voyage. painstakingly pieced together from archive footage, but it traces the personaljourney of the boat's skipper, a young woman working on yachts who yearned to race. why did you decide to put together an all—female crew? for any woman going on a boat she could never be good enough unless we could prove that a project put together by women, for women, to sail around the world with an all—female crew would be the only way to prove once and for all. the triumph of maiden as a sporting first might have gone undocumented, were it not for tracy edwards giving a talk in london, which director alex holmes attended with his daughter. the story she told seemed to me, listening to it in the presence of my 11—year—old daughter, to be as relevant today as it was all those years ago in 1989. i have neverfelt that i had to encourage my son to be more ambitious, but i still felt like i still had to encourage my daughter to do that

manus: tracy and i got more with rob aston -- aspen.s obviously a tricky question for the europeans and the u.k. there -- u.k.. it has been 1000 days since the referendum was taken to leave. earlier, i was talking about a loss of credibility at the fed level, and i think it is the same in may's government. the reality is i think that europeans will extend, but in my view, what really needs to happen is another referendum needs to take place. i think that is the only way the government can move forward. the deal that they have with the european union is simply not good enough from the mp's standpoint, from the u.k. government standpoint. they cannot take the same deal to the mps for the third time. i think they need to look at another avenue, potentially doing a referendum and taking it from there. , what isdd one points interesting to me is that while the u.k. wants to leave, and would potentially be negative for sterling and so forth, i'm not particularly positive on the underlying euro area either. that is perhaps a question for anoth

tracy: the first question was am i seeing the right number. i did the same thing last month, so you have to take january and february together and say that both of these months were probably anomalies. the three-month trend is strong for hiring, and with the unemployment rate going down, effects, thetether trend is higher. we should note that we a number that did not signify a turning point, but because the fed has said that we will wait and see, and we know the history of hikes that they overshoot every time. does this add credibility to the idea that that was the end? jobse: we do think that will continue to strengthen through the rest of this year, and that the u.s. economy is going through a soft patch. things could start to turn around in the second half, especially if we get resolution to a trade deal. we think it is possible that the federal reserve could raise interest rates one more time, probably in the second half, and be done for this cycle. atnie: the 10-year yeild is 2.6123, and is not budging today. you saw that earlier, but it
