>> craig, it is difficult to imagine how painful as a parent to look at the video and search for your daughter, because that is what the parents have tried to do in the last 24 hours. >> reporter: these videos could be the best intelligence yet with more than 100 of the 276 kidnapped schoolgirls reciting the koran. the leader says they are liberated after forcing the mostly christian girls to convert to islam. tell that to a desperate father who sat down with nbc's british partner itn. >> it is terrible, i nknow. >> reporter: he recognizes that two of the girls from the school, but he cannot find his daughter. >> you cannot see your daughter or your nieces in there now? >> i cannot see them. >> reporter: the u.s. state department says that the intelligence experts are working with nigeria to pore over every detail of the hostage video hoping to be some clue, but there is no way to know for sure
8:01 am
when and where these images were taken. armed with the ak-47 and wagging his finger at the camera, the leader of the group boko haram offers an exchange, the schoolgirls for his fighters jailed in prisons around nigeria, and the interior minister says there is no negotiations. so the search continues over the vast rugged area of north nigeria. and we are also learning today in cameroon interesting information that gives you a sense of how well armed this group is. about a week after the girls were kidnapped, the military tells us that they seized a large cache of weapons in ard o bo -- in a bordertown of this country and we have video of it which includes in that cache, rpgs and mortars and ant

anti-warfare weaponry, and it is also hoe easily they can move back and forth between the borders, and this is a regional problem. craig? >> thank you, stephanie gosk in cam roon, and developing back in here, an investigation is under way in west virginia to find out what caused a mining accident that has killed two workers. the government agency that oversees the mines says that a ground failure trapped the two miner s miners at the bro di mine, and the miners died, and patriot cole who owns the mine just expressed sympathy for the families, and promising full cooperation with the investigators, and the u.s. department of labor said that the bro di midy mine was put one after it received 249 violations, and they were just cited six days ago.

and latest democrat opponent of "american idol" famed clay aiken died in his home. he was expected to today, and he was trailing 369 votes after of the primary last week, and last night, akin tweeted, i am deeply sunned and stunned by keith crisco's death, and i am suspending campaigning activities while we pray for his family and friends. >> and first of all, kelly, what do we know about the circumstance circumstances surrounding crisco's death? >> well, not much, craig. he was at home in asheboro, and a fall as describe and dead at the scene. there is a medical examiner's review. he was aged 71, and we don't know the specific circumstances. i did contact the company that he co-founded here, and successful businessman in a
8:04 am
textile industry that they had confirmed to him his death, and what is so stunning, is of course, the surprise element of this, and the terrible loss for his family. he was married with children and grandchildren and of course, they are grieving. it upsets this race, because there had been quite a cliffhanger here. i had been down with my team that is with me here a couple of weeks ago to cover this race where we saw keith crisco and clay aiken campaigning vigorously, and the race was so tight with 369 votes separating clay aiken in the lead followed by keith crisco, and about 29,000 votes cast in the primary. at that time, mr. crisco said he would not concede, because of the outstanding ballots to be voted with the overseas ball lots and the provisional ballots of people not shure about their polling places, and that would
8:05 am
take time, and today, the state officials would set today of a county by county canvas to be done to certify the results. we talked to a close friend of keith crisco who said that he had been monitoring the returns and doing their own analysis of this, and he wanted to concede today, because the numbers of outstanding ballots he determined would not have overtaken the lead that clay aiken had, but what a change in the tone and the tenor of the race with the sudden and the sad passing. as you pointed out clay aiken and his folk, and he is not doing anything in terms of the media appearances or the campaign events and letting some time to the pass to proper ly acknowledge the death of his rival and certainly the republican incumbent in this district renee elmer has put out a statement. this does happen from time to time, and it is rare that a candidate passes away in an election season, but it is always a jolt and shock. i had a chance to meet keith crisco and see him in action talking with the voters, and he
8:06 am
wanted this race very, very much. >> and kelly o'donnell for us in north carolina this morning. thank you. and nba commissioner adam silver is vowing that the league will continue to try to force clippers' owner donald sterling out as quickly as possible that. vow is part of the statement that he issued after sterling sat down with anderson cooper, and the interview was supposed to be sterling's apology, but it took a decidedly different turn. take a look. >> i am not a racist. i love people. i always have. but those words came out of my mouth, i guess. i'm so sorry, and i'm so apologetic. >> i think that you have more of a plantation mental ly than i d. you know what, i think that you are more of a racist than i am. >> how is that? >> because i am not a racist and i have never been a racist and i will never be a racist. the players don't hate me and the sponsors don't hate me, and
8:07 am
the fans don't hate me, but the media. it is all the media. the media pushing it. >> and the comments that have drawn the strongest rebuke from many including the commissioner is that he released a barrage of attacks against the l.a. dodgers' owner and hall of famer nba star magic johnson. >> he acts so holy, and he made love to girls in every city and when he said that he had aids, i prayed for him. and tell me what he has done. magic johnson, what has he done? >> he is a business person. >> and he has aids. did he do any business? did he help anybody in south l.a.? is that someone that we want to respect and tell our kids about? i think that he should be ashamed of himself. i think that he should go into the background. but what does he do for the black people? >> meanwhile, this morning, his
8:08 am
estranged wife shelly sterling appeared on the "today" show. >> i felt bad for him. >> really? >> yes, because he is not the man i know or knew. there is something wrong. >> what do you think is wrong with him? you think that there is something wrong with his mental fac ul tis or something wrong with the sentiments that he has in the heart? >> i really think that personally, he has dementia. >> and dave zyron of the sports nation, and always good to see you, but at the end of the interview, i thought that he did more damage than the original taped conversation. >> absolute ly. that was anti-public relations, because any one of us if we were caught saying things at our worst moment who would want those words throughout in the public sphere, and many people could relate to that and perhaps not the racism, but some of of the crude language, but then when you think of him actually sitting down with the plan doing public relations, with anderson cooper, and then out of the
8:09 am
mouth comes that just free throwing lava of bile, and absolutely more harm to himself last night. and sorry, but i have to say to shelly sterling, that is not dementia, but it is donald sterling being who we thought he was and who he has always been over the course of the business career as a slumlord in the graeat er los angeles area over the course of decades. >> i follow you on twitter and i enjoy the tweets a yound, you h tweeted about in and you said shouldn't this horrific interview be evident of how long he has been coddled with? >> well, all it did was adam silver once again apologizing to magic johnson on the nba family and i wish he would spend less time apologizing to him, because it is now two poll -- two apologies and explain why he and
8:10 am
donald stearn who was his predecessor for two decades tell us why they coddled him for two decades. and the people who we don't know in the poorest neighbors of los angeles are the names that they should account for, because the wealth is nba wealth and astronomical pause of the growth of the league, and the nba should account for the fact that they held him so closely for so long, and adam silver has not done that. >> and i want to play more of the interview, and this is a little bit more of what sterling was saying about magic johnson in the claim that magic did nothing as sterling put it for the black people. take a listen. >> has he done everything that he can do to help minorities? i don't think so. but, i'll say it. i'll say it, you know, he is great. but, i just don't think that he is a good example for the children of los angeles. i spend millions on giving away
8:11 am
and helping minorities. does he do that? that is one problem i have. jews, when they get successful, they will help their people. and some of the african-ameri n african-americans maybe i will get in trouble again, they don't want to help anybody. >> and we don't have time to get into all of the things that are wrong with what he just said is, but one of the things that i continue to find bizarre is that sterling's borderline obsession with magic johnson and what do we know about the history of the two of them or was there even a history before all of this? >> well, a social history. and magic johnson said before all of this started that he counted donald sterling as a friend which frankly, i have to say says something about magic johnson and something about how there is a rich man's club in the nba that doesn't care about the poor people getting trampled by donald sterling's business pr
8:12 am
practices, but part of it has to do with the two very big egos in the city of los angeles. donald sterling and the clippers were the stepchild of the lakers and even playing in the same ar ree na, and magic johnson is the king of los angeles and you can see the jealousy and the bile coming out of the mouth of donald sterling and you could see how it so quickly translates to the open naked racism which is going to get you in all kinds of trouble in the 21st century ameri america. >> and dave, we always appreciate your insight and perspective, sir. thank you. >> thank you. and new reaction to the video that has gone viral. apparently showing solange knowles attacking her brother-in-law as beyonce watches. what set off the family feud? and the fbi is investigating this dramatic explosion that levelled a new hampshire home. it is one of the stories that we are following around the "newsnation", a," and this ulti tum to the gop over the immigration reform.
8:13 am
>> if the republicans don't do it, they should not bother to run a candidate in 2016. >> that was the head of the business friendly chamber of commerce talking to republicans. but can a shift on the immigration win over the latino voters? c our political analyst mark murray will join us. and should workers of all kind expect a bigger paycheck this year? we will talk about that trend, and what is behind it. as always, join the conversation on twitter, and there it is, at "newsnation." if you've got copd like me... ...hey breathing's hard. know the feeling? copd includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that helps open my obstructed airways for a full 24 hours. spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder

that raise? this may be it. "usa today" surveyed a group of top economists and found that 73% of them believe that the wage growth is going to speed up this year, and the employiers are going to feel new pressure to reward workers and compete for the very best this after years of almost stagnant wages. joining me to talk about what is behind this optimism, slate columnist zachary carebell who is the leading author of "contributors" and good to see you, sir. >> hello, craig. >> for the last six years, employers are essentially holding all of the cards, but the new survey says that the economists believe that the l leverage is going to start shifting and why is that? >> well, first of all, even though i am relatively opt mistech by nature, i would say that for the economists being surveyed does not mean that the wages will go up, just because the majority of the economists surveyed believe it.
8:18 am
and it is like one of toez 4 of 5 dentists recommend. i think that -- >> you sound like the fifth dentist. >> well, i'm in this particular case the fifth dentist. this is going to assume that the patterns of the economic lives will be familiar to what they were in the 20th century, which means that the economy picks up, and businesses do more business, and they hire more people, and then, you know, labor magically is able to command a greater share of the economic pie. i'm not so sure that is in the cards for this year. i mean, it doesn't mean that some workers won't do well in the higher technology or the higher skilled, but you know, the idea of the fast food workers absent any action on the minimum wage will command mcdonald's or the walmart workers will command walmart to increase out of pocket wages -- i just don't know where that leverage is going to come from. >> and why are you so pessimistic? >> well, i mean, in this case --
8:19 am
>> you are not usually this pessimistic. >> i mean, about the retail workers and the lower end. i mean, we have been talking about this for months, and i have been chronically concerned about the degree to which this is an economy that rewards those who are rewarded. and so if you are in skills or services, you are likely to see a continual increase in the incomes, but it is the walmart workers and the kind of the lower end or the temp, that it is very hard to see. there is not an absence of those workers and the margins of those companies are very, very tight, and then you have the whole health care cost issues that could cost either way, and companies don't have to bear the health care costs because of the obamacare, and that is a plus, but it does not mean they pass on the savings to workers. >> and zachary, thank you so much, and as always, we appreciate your time from chicago on this tuesday morning. >> thank you. >> and a new report is finding

an alarming new report is triggering warnings from scientists that a massive part of antarctica is melting away and nothing that mankind can do to stop it. nasa released this image of a glacier that is part of the massive west antarctic ice sheet which is slowly collapsing into the sea, and it is expected to push up the sea levels for centuries, and researchers studied ground and airline satellite data of the weak underwelly of antarctica and found out that the melt is happening faster than we fig ire and creating a domino process, and what we thought would take two centuries to happen, the two-feet rise in sea levels could have more implications of the heavily populated areas of the country.

but the economic effect of this, and i say it to people all of the time, and you can shoot the messeng messenger, but when the water is higher, you said two feet, but it is closer to four feet over a met meter. and that is going to kind of have a place like miami or new orleans, that is in the united states, and the economic cost of that having to displace people let alone lower manhattan and washington, d.c. and the potomac watershed, and then the developing world where people don't have the resources to move inland. >> and you mentioned lower manhattan and climate central has a surging sea tool that gives folks a look at where the areas if water levels are reaching ten feet above high tide, this is what it is going to look like, and this is lower manhattan and the projection of the areas if the water levels reached ten feet above high tide, and the dark blue are the inundated areas, and the more alarming, check out southern florida. it is projected to be almost completely washed out if water

and michael jackson's new album is out almost five years after his death. "escape" is made up of eight songs never released to the public. and the estate gave l.a. reid exclusive look to the archives and after combing over 40 years of material, he brought in people like timberland to help modernize the tracks. this is how it was recorded in 1983. ♪ every time i love in ♪ in and out of life ♪ and i feel it ♪ tell me ♪ if you really love me ♪ in and out of love ♪ baby >> garrett kennedy is a music writer for the los angeles times, and garrett, i have listened to three or four tracks on the album and i can say that confidently that compared to the first posthumous album that was released a a few years ago, michael, this one, this one seems to be a lot better.
8:46 am
>> that is putting it lightly. it is incredible. it is so much better than what they have done in the past. i think that what the reason is so much better is that you can hear michael, and really hear michael on every single record from top to bottom and his voice and he gets to shine, and he the producers worked around him as opposed to other way around, and the last project, he got a little bit lost in the studio magic, but this is all michael and his voice, and really the producers took a back seat. >> i am glad you said that, because a lot of times when you get the posthumous album, and the tracks are overproduced and that is not the case this time. this is another track called "slave to the rhythm" and originally recorded in 1991. ♪ did she ♪ did he did not quit ♪ as she went out the door ♪ she danced through the night ♪ in fear of the light ♪ she danced through the beat of
8:47 am
her own ♪ >> that is a nice beat. i mean, that is just, that is the mike that i think that we all grew up loving. what are some of the themes that present themselves in the album do you think? >> well sh, you know what is gr is that you can really hear where michael was at different points in the life. a lot of the records are upbeat, and lovey dovey and we love that about michael and dance with him as well, and the title track is him sing issing about the pressures of fame and hoping to get away from it. he returned to that theme, but you can hear, you know, in him, and i think that the record was recorded in 1999, with the trials and the everything was happening in his life, and you can feel that he was sort of more fed up than i think that he had been in the other previous records when he sung about it. this is the moment where he is like, he just wanted to be away from all of it. i don't know what that meant, but, you know, i think that you
8:48 am
could really hear it. >> garrick, and this is the second of the posthumous album, and we only get eight track, and more than eight, but they take the eight to remix them to give you the impression of a double album, but do you think that we are going to get more posthumous albums from the king? >> well, what i want to go to is the not remixes, but the second part of the alum bum is the fac that the tracks sounded like before the producers got a hold of them. that is good for the fans. and when i talked to l.a. reid, he said that he went for the specific theme which is hearing michael and the voice and singing the song from the top to bottom and not having to piece together the record. so i don't know. the future is out there, but i think that this is the last one of the new material, and the estate did a great job of impacting the legacy and keeping it what it is.
