on deals. some are projected to break some shopping records. but they say the current economic outlook has people rethinking their holiday shopping plans. they're only predicting about a 3 to 4% increase in shopping on black friday compared to last year. it's the cost of goods and services they're still high in. many across the country. are focused on that compared to spending a lot of money today. and this weekend. many retailers , including here, are offering strong discounts to try to entice shoppers to spend their money. but even with that, some of the people we spoke with in the hours leading up to black friday, it doesn't seem like many are rushing to spend the money like they once did today. >> will you be getting up early at all tomorrow? >> yeah, i'm gonna try to. >> is it like 5 a.m. early? 7 a.m. early 10 a.m. early, maybe. >> like seven in the morning. early. maybe yeah. >> yes, maybe. that's kind of the vibe we're getting so far. but in this morning, we're seeing a good amount of shoppers who are are up bright and early before the sun rises, trying to

get the most of this. what they can get out of when it comes to black friday deals. the national retail federation says many retailers began offering deals online. that's obviously a huge thing. as early as mid-october of this year, the under standing behind that is that they're going to give shoppers who are trying to budget with all the things they're dealing with right now is much flexibility as possible that way. they know when they have the opportunities that they can go and shop right now. so it's not so much centered around one day like we're seeing today. but still, there are a lot of people here bright and early this morning. we're live in san jose, ryan curry, abc seven news. thank you, ryan. >> good morning, everybody. we are starting with a live look from live doppler seven and checking out our temperatures right now. we're pretty much in the 40s and 50s across the bay area. so a little cooler, but definitely more moderate as you head out the door this morning if you're even getting up. i know a lot of people are letting that turkey settle our highs for today are stretching from the low to high 60s, except all the way up north in lakeport,

antiwar protests and a heavy police presence cracking down on a new surge of organized retail theft. here's abc news reporter alison kosik. >> this morning, both protesters and criminals are threatening to disrupt the biggest day of the year for many retailers as have a joint holiday. we saw some of it at the macy's thanksgiving day parade temporarily halted when a group of about 30 pro-palestinian protesters ran into the street. apparently gluing themselves to the pavement of the parade route. abc news has learned that pro-palestinian protesters plan to demonstrate at shopping malls across the country on black friday. it's adding to worries of brazen robberies that have plagued retailers all year. from los angeles, where a flash mob entered this nike store with trash bags getting away with more than $12,000 in merchandise

to cities like philadelphia. now now on high alert. >> these were criminals. everybody in this city should be angry. >> nationwide, in 2020, two, retailers facing more than $112 billion in losses due to organized retail crime. a 19% jump from the year before. >> you don't know who you're going to be shopping next to, whether that's an undercover detective deputy and if your intent is to steal, you're going to be arrested and taken to jail. >> authorities in california conducting raids, recovering more than $350,000 in merchandise across two locations in the oakland area. and yet another concern for retailers will consumers be in the mood to spend while shoppers have been opening their wallets so far this year? the worry is they could pull back over the holiday shopping season, a time when retailers depend on making up to a quarter of their annual sales. alison kosik, abc news, new york . >> we are learning more about a

smash and grab last night at a coles store in pleasant hill. this video was shared on social media. police say that three people wearing masks used a van to burst through the doors and steal merchandise. they left the scene in a white sedan before police arrived. no arrests have been made yet. >> san francisco police are expanding its operations to make sure shoppers are safe in retail locations across the city. police chief bill scott said officers will be, quote, out in full force this holiday shopping season. he also says combating retail theft and auto burglaries are some of the department's highest priorities. and now that the thanksgiving day feast has settled. maybe for some of you you're still working on that part. but but the shopping is officially underway this morning for black friday. holiday shoppers are expected to set records this year. so we're going to get right out to abc seven news reporter ryan curry, who is live with us at bass pro shop. and ryan, i understand at least in the past, the jeans used to be a thing at bass pro

shops. is that still happening now? are there other hot items there? i mean, there's plenty you could probably choose from over here. >> i haven't seen many people buying the jeans, though. they do look pretty nice and they are on sale. so if that's what you fancy by all means, that's probably a good deal you don't want to pass up on. but yes, talking about record numbers, this year for black friday, they are predicting the national retail federation that over 180 million people are going to be shopping today nationwide. that would be a record if that number does actually come to be fruition. but we're going to have to wait and see. they say that still, despite that potential record number year, it might not be a big increase compared to years prior. they say things like rents, groceries, utilities, all those everyday goods, those are still very high following those years where inflation was rising. the prices of a lot of different things. therefore more shoppers are being more frugal when it comes to spending. they're only predicting about a 3 to 4% increase in shopping this year

compared to last year. if you can shop, it is a good year to do so because retailers are offering a lot of discounts on many items. that's because a lot of places have high inventory. they're trying to do everything they can to get consumers to spend more. and consumers will be spending today. but the reality is the buying power is just not as much this year compared to previous years. it also with online shopping, that's another thing people are going to have to factor in. black friday deals are starting earlier nowadays so people can kind of get the lay of the land and adjust their budgets if need be. so having more time to plan out spending is a big deal for this time of year. so yes, we are projected to see some records this year. again, we'll have to wait and see what those actually turn out to be. but the reality is a lot of people are going to have to plan out how they budget things, plan out how they spend things, and when it comes to their holiday shopping, they might not be spending today. they might be spending later on this weekend. but for now, san jose, it's been open for over an hour right now and a lot of people have been coming

out here to these bass pro shops, which is something that this store obviously is happy to see for now, we're live in san jose, ryan curry, abc seven news. thank you ryan. do you do you have a favorite item i'm curious what are you looking at whenever i'm sent on a shopping story, i usually buy something at the bass pro shops. this is actually, believe it or not, the first black friday story i've ever covered. so i haven't picked anything out quite yet. um, well, i'm looking at these kayaks though, that are right here. okay. that are on sale. get back to us on that. >> ryan. we'll check in. thank you. local small businesses are hoping you'll come out to their stores for small business saturday. communities are around the bay area and or i should say communities around the bay area are offering special deals. so for instance, in san francisco, bernal cutlery has teamed up with craftsmen and wolves to sell some exclusive cookies in pacifica. there are pop up shops open for one day only in oakland , a black out market will

feature black creators and business owners. the holiday market will last two days for black friday and small business saturday. the event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day at oak stop on broadway in oakland to day, general admission tickets are $5. children under 18 get in for free and today is black friday. >> but some travelers are still counting down to travel tuesday. abc news reporter reena roy tells us how to get the best prices for your upcoming trip. >> what's better than a vacation ? getting a great deal on your trip travel deal tuesday. the tuesday after thanksgiving may be your best bet for discounts on hotels, rental cars, flights and even rental homes. haley burg, lead economist at online travel agency hopper, says that prices typically drop by 30 to 60% on flights and hotels. >> so think 50% off a hotel. stay in bali. 35% off rome. tokyo. the bahamas. >> berg says this is a great

opportunity to book bucket list international vacations. >> we see prices drop for flights to many international destinations as airlines try to pick up demand for early 2024 trips. but if you're on a smaller budget, she says this travel deal tuesday is especially great for booking domestic travel. domestic airfares already lower than this time last year and 2019. so if you book on travel deal tuesday, you can stack the savings of that lower airfare with additional promotions from participating airlines to best take advantage of travel deal. >> tuesday, berg recommends planning ahead, start thinking now about what vacation you'll want to take in the next year. you can also set up flight watches if you're thinking about a couple of different trips next year, keeping your options open when it comes to dates and destination. >> if you're thinking about a tropical vacation, can consider looking at the price of lots of different destinations in the caribbean and booking with free cancellation when possible. if you need to cancel for any

and into israel. it's there that a special unit who's been trained in dealing with hostages is going to intake them. they're going to give them a quick medical check at that point. they'll also verify their identification. they don't exactly know who's going to be coming across the border. they'll also be handed phones. and at that moment, they'll be able to call their family members their loved ones for the first time in 47 days. this is happening right now. at that point, some of them will be reunited with family, those who need medical care will be flown to hospitals in israel, where a team of psychologist is waiting to deal with these people who have obviously undergone significant trauma over the past couple couple of days. and that's, of course, where they will be also physically reunited with family members. again, this is ongoing and have not crossed the border into egypt or israel yet. but this is a very good first sign that this hostage swap is starting to take place as planned and on time. wit an encouraging sign indeed. >> matt, thank you. and just a reminder, viewers, again, as

part of this deal that was laid out, 13 hostages held in gaza would eventually be released back to israel in exchange for 39 palestinian prisoners, mostly women and teenagers. and then if the cease fire would hold over the course of four days, more and more of those hostages would be released. let's go and bring in our senior white house correspondent, selina wang. she is traveling with the president in nantucket. and selina, we know president biden has been heavily involved in the negotiations and there's the hope and the possibility that americans could be involved. >> exactly what president. >> exactly what president through. this is incredibly high stakes, high pressure for the biden administration with senior administration officials telling me that biden has been very hands on in this process and personally involved in the negotiation, as he had personally urged the emir of qatar to press hamas to accept this deal. and for israel's

prime minister to do so as well. as you say, there's hope that three americans will be included in this initial hostage release deal, but we still don't know yet who is going to be out, who is going to be on that list. president biden here in nantucket has said that he's keeping his fingers crossed that three year old abigail morejon, whose parents were killed by hamas, that she will be included in this initial hostage release. but us officials here have been very careful to say that nothing here is done until they actually see this happen. incredibly fragile and delicate. >> absolute so far, that cease fire, that temporary pause in the fighting has held as this initial wave of hostages have been handed over. again, we're still waiting on numbers, getting more information, but they have been handed over to the red cross. we will continue to bring you breaking developments throughout the course of the day here on abc news. selena, thank you. and our thanks to matt gutman again. we'll have breaking news alerts on abc news live are streaming channel and abcnews.com and then we'll have a full wrap up later tonight on world news tonight with david muir. for now, i'm
