ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN HOST (voice-over): Tornado teams are going to Central Iowa today to survey all this damage and to assess the strength of these sudden twisters that broke out. Some of them were caught on camera. At least four homes were destroyed in Bondurant, 10 people were injured in Marshalltown, which the National Weather Service said suffered catastrophic damage. Sixty miles south of there, there was extensive damage and at least seven people injured after this business on your screen took a direct hit.</s>JOHN BERMAN, CNN HOST: This is really interesting. The NFL is pausing its new policy regarding national anthem protests. In a joint statement, the league and the Players' Association say they've reached a standstill agreement on the policy compelling players to stand during the anthem. In the union's subsequent grievance, some players began kneeling during the anthem to protest police brutality and push for equal rights. The NFL's decision came hours after the Miami Dolphins -- well, after it was leaked that the Dolphins were considering disciplining players who protest during the anthem. Again, there was a story out that they could discipline with a suspension up to four games, which seemed extreme to a lot of people here. So it is unclear exactly where this is headed. The agreement they had reached was that players could stay in the locker room if they don't want to stand during the anthem now. But the idea that the players could be suspended for four games is something that I can't imagine the union ever abiding by.</s>CAMEROTA: Well, the problem is that the feelings aren't going away, the motivation for wanting to do some sort of public protest like this haven't gone away. They don't think the problems have been fixed. So then what do you do?</s>BERMAN: And when you threaten players with four-game suspensions, it makes them feel as if they are not being heard.</s>CAMEROTA: All right, meanwhile, beyond becoming better pals, what is President Trump's policy on Russia? This week, you would not be blamed for being confused. We'll dive into that with the former ambassador to Russia.
