allegedly trying to bribe chinese business officials, as well as contributing illegal campaign donations that's all happening, as well as a bunch of civil suits of people trying to get their money back. breaking overnight, secretary of state antony blinking making his third trip to israel on the heels of president biden's call for a humanitarian pause and a growing push to free more hostages we have complete coverage. we will start with richard engel who is with us from jerusalem. >> reporter: good morning, hoda. secretary blinking is trying to thread a needle, expressing continued support for israel's fight and war against hamas, while also pushing for concrete steps to protect civilians secretary blinking arrived on a mission to slow this war down, pushing for humanitarian pauses to allow more aid into gaza, buying time to free hostages held by hamas and maybe for
7:07 am
cooler heads to emerge the timing is critical the israeli military says its forces have finished encircling gaza city and are in street battles. a push into the city could be extraordinarily violent. israel is already losing troops. it has outline no clear exit strategy or long-term plan in gaza, hamas seems happy to pull israel into a long-term gorilla war, no matter what the -- guerrilla war, no matter what the consequences for the people of gaza. our crew watched as abu returned to the refugee camp, poor and crowded before the war and now being flattened by israeli strikes. he came to apologize to his family under the rubble that he couldn't do more to help them. i'm sorry i couldn't help you, he says. he adds a prayer and says to god, i can't take it anymore
7:08 am
after hours of digging, one daughter, 12-year-old leane, is found. he begs people to find his son he keeps apologizing as he carries her back to neighbors so he can search for his other ot and wife, and no one was found daughter, three sons and wife. no one was found alive anger, range and hopelessness helped hamas recruit in gaza there is rage across israel, too as hamas took more than 240 hostages including the disabled and children according to human rights groups and the un, extremist jewish settlers in the west bank are taking advantage of the war to attack palestinians and take their land they were collecting olives in the west bank. he's 77. she's 69 they're christians the couple says jewish settlers last week attacked them without
7:09 am
provocation. he told me one of the settlers grabbed him in the groin he was then hit repeatedly with a heavy stick. he never called the police they don't do anything, he says. they don't even answer a new un report said that settler violence has increased significantly since the october 7th attack and in nearly half the cases, israeli forces supported or accompanied the attackers. >> richard, thank you. for more perspective on the biden administration's approach on the war, i want to turn to kristin welker. obviously the trip is coming on the heels of the white house. talk about the president saying there should be a pause in the war. the language here is so democrat. you have seen some democratic senators and lawmakers saying perhaps there should be a pause or perhaps a cease fire. how are they walking this line of support for israel but also recognizing the carnage in gaza? >> savannah, good morning. you are right to point that out.
7:10 am
before secretary blinken left for his trip, the white house clarified while president biden was calling for a pause, he said in order to get more hostages out, not an all-out cease fire, but a temporary pause would be necessary. he's expected to call for a humanitarian pause while also expressing support for israel. it is a message that comes as the death toll is mounting as the humanitarian crisis is worsening. this will be a fine line for secretary blinken to walk. he's expected to call for a humanitarian pause while expressing support for israel. it comes as the death toll in sgau is mounting as the humanitarian crisis is worsening. now look. what's not clear is how long of a pause the administration is asking for from israel. what's also notable here is there is real concern the u.s. could become even more isolated on the world stage or blamed because of the way israel
7:11 am
carries out its war because of president biden's alignment with israel. >> the u.s. asked for a huge military aid package for ukraine and israel. we saw the house pass an israel only aid plan tied to budget cuts. where does this stand? how does this lay out? >> it is still an open question. it is largely symbolic. as you said, it ties into israel. and it allows the newly cutting the debt. but democrats in the senate are calling this a non-starter. as you just said, democrats and republicans want an aid package to include more funding for ukraine and also the border. now, there is a growing opposition among republicans to approve more aid to ukraine. those opponents argue, look, the u.s. has already given ukraine tens of billions of dollars over the course of the war. i did talk to one top gop lawmaker overnight who told me
7:12 am
it is expected. ultimately, they will find a way to resolve the aid issue, whether it is one big or a few big bills. don't forget, the government runs out of funding in two weeks and there is no clear resolution in sight to any of these issues. >> a lot of tabs open there in washington. thank you, kristin. i know you have a lot more on "meet the press" including an issue of ukraine's president pushing for more aid. tensions flaring. protests have shut down highways and taken over train stations. and there continues to be disturbing incidents of anti-semitism at college campuses. at cornell, classes are canceled today because of what school officials called, quote, extraordinary stress on students. >> reporter: hoda, that's right. campus here will be unusually quiet for what is supposed to be a restorative day for students after several tumultuous weeks. the tenor on college campuses has been extremely volatile and
7:13 am
tense. i have heard from students on both sides of the issue fearful of potential fall-out from merely speaking out. as the war in the middle east escalates each day, the conflict thousands of miles away has become a flash point on college campuses here in the u.s., prompting outrage and fear from students on both sides of the issue. do you feel like campus is more divided than ever? >> absolutely. >> reporter: with reports of discrimination rising, authorities are trying to stop the surge. columbia university saying trucks have circled the campus, displaying and publicizing the names of arab, muslim students. this student at cornell who has family in gaza says she
7:14 am
experienced something similar. is there any part of you that's fearful and even sitting down in this interview on camera with me today? >> i'm very, very afraid, actually. i have been put on a website and there's been articles written about me. >> reporter: cornell canceled classes today citing extraordinary stress on campus in recent weeks. a decision announced days after a junior at the ivy league school was charged with making violent anti-semitic threats including killing jews on campus. he has not yet entered a plea in the case. >> we're very strong. we have been through a lot. but that doesn't mean we're not affected by it. >> reporter: the sense of unease exacerbated by classes like this in tulane university in new orleans. >> an israeli flag was being burned. a brave students attempted to grab the flag before a fight broke out. >> reporter: college campuses
7:15 am
have been bastions for open and honest discussion. tulane president michael fitz hopes they will find a way back to this. >> for students, they will remember this, what they learned from it and what they learned about their ability to come together as part of it. >> reporter: and that cornell student facing a federal charge could face up to five years in prison if convicted. we have seen an increase in police presence here at cornell. they have a security guard here as schools grapple with increasing tensions and the threat of violence. hoda? >> all right. emilie ikeda for us. thank you. good morning. good morning to you as well. there is growing tensions this morning on capitol hill over an unprecedented move by a lone republican senator. for months now alabama's tommy tuberville has single handedly held up top military motions. he is facing intense backlash from both sides of the aisle. garrett haake has the latest on
7:16 am
this. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. he has now blocked the timely promotions of more than 350 military officers for the better part of this whole year. he hasn't budged as democrats rallied against his tactics and military leaders accused him of weakens national security. now his fellow republicans are turning against him for digging in as two wars rage overseas. growing outrage over a blockade of promotions for senior military officers. >> i hate to have to do this, but somebody has got to listen to us. okay. >> reporter: the alabama republican refused to allow speedy confirmation votes on more than 150 promotions unless alabama reverses its abortion policy the political move now triggering a bipartisan backlash.
7:17 am
>> patience is wearing thin on both sides of the aisle over the senator's antics. >> reporter: culminating in a senate floor fight wednesday as republicans tried to pass 60 military promotions one by one with tommy tuberville blocking all of them. even with wars raging in the middle east and ukraine, tommy tuberville remains defiant. >> if i thought there was any problem with reyes, we wouldn't be doing it. >> reporter: but it is having an impact on military families. the general suffered a heart attack this week while doing the job of two different officers. jack reed told "politico" he thought smith's workload contributed to his hospitalization. but tommy tuberville dismissed that, comparing his duties to his old job as an alabama football coach. >> i did that for years.
7:18 am
>> reporter: for those officers in limbo, the delay is agonizing. a military spouse advocates for military families. >> families have been serving for literally decades. and this is the first time where they are being used as political pawns. >> reporter: senate rules and tradition allow for any one senator to slow the process of voting down substantially. but no one has ever dragged out non-controversial votes like these for long the senate can vote on these one by one in fact, they passed three of them yesterday it would take months to clear this backlog now a growing number of senators are considering changing the rules to go around tommy tuberville and end this blockade. >> garrett, thank you. let's go to the nfl now and the game that came down to the final seconds on thursday night
7:19 am
>> picket to the end zone. touchdown! and there it was johnson finally gets into the end zone. >> the steelers take the lead with 4:00 to go. the titans qb will evans threw an interception and they go on to win that one 20-16, to the wire. >> looks like a good game. >> it was a good game. steelers needed that one, too. >> let's look at the weather we heard there is a warm-up on tap. >> and no rain for parts of the northeast to weaken that streak. and, look, the area of freeze and frost advisories and warnings has shrunken down from georgia to maryland. we're talking about ten million people and the morning lows more than they were yesterday new york city 43 39 in dc nashville 38 atlanta chilly at 39 and those milder highs will continue to build to the east. denver today near 70 degrees

good morning i traveled to sing sing correctional facility just outside new york to meet with some of the men incarcerated there to learn more about a program that's called "voices from within. it is a grass roots effort with a simple goal, to redefine what it means to pay a debt to society. if you have ever heard of someone being sent up the river, they meant here, sing sing prison just over 30 miles north of new york city. it's one of the oldest prisons in america but we went there because they're trying something new we were invited, along with a group of visitors, to go inside to meet the men of "voices from within." it's a peer support group started by incarcerated men. >> hi. my name is shane. >> hello my name is mike. >> they're trying to change the
8:14 am
culture in prison by talking about the mistakes they have made that led them here and trying to keep young people from heading down the same path the program started more than a decade ago with a group led by j.j. velazquez. >> we wanted to redefine what it means to pay a debt to society just sitting in a cage doesn't pay a debt you have to actively do something to pay a debt. it starts with how you change yourself >> at that time, velazquez had been serving time for a murder he insists he didn't commit. and "dateline" producer dan slepian had been working on his case he worked with them to make a video about gun violence. >> there is nothing you can do to make it right >> the video has been shown to at risk youth across new york state and beyond "voices from within" took off from there and succeeded with the support of then-president superintendent michael kapra
8:15 am
sing sing, like most prisons, has problems with violence attacks between the incarcerated do happen. in a recent lawsuit sent by the state department of investigations led to an investigation. in this environment, a partnership between kapra and the then of "voices from within" grew a lot of people that hear this or say this will say, you are just supposed to keeping them locked up and keeping them away from society that's your job. all this other stuff is a bit much. >> yeah. we're going to change that narrative. >> why >> because we need to. i think we have the responsibility of making sure that when people leave here, they have the skill set that they need. they have turned into a man. and it is our responsibility that they don't victimize anybody else anywhere. >> prison is not a place typically associated with vulnerability or redemption. how did you get other incarcerated people to buy into it. >> what i have learned is there is a lot of good people in
8:16 am
prison that made bad choices if you are 16 years old and you did a robbery and you ended up with 20 years for that robbery, with 20 that individual is now 36 years old. this is a natural human process called maturity. these people want to change. all they need is the opportunity and somebody to believe in them. >> we wanted to see this change first-hand during our visit, we broke into small groups the men in my group were honest about why they were in prison. >> while i was in prison, they indicted me for homicide. >> when i was 17 years old, i had a fight with a man he died because of the fight i had another fight and i ended up stabbing somebody. >> they say they are full of regret and remorse but eager to show how their worst mistakes won't define them. >> it was all just selfish that's it.
8:17 am
there is no reason behind it i'm releasing that selfishness >> is it weird that you are in prison and you can really be your authentic self and you can show up in amazing ways like the reflection i see in all of you guys. >> that wasn't the end of us as human, as men. we have so much more that we can share with everyone. just given that chance. >> what's remarkable is that one of the men giving them that chance is j.j., who was granted clemency in 2021 he was released, but vowed to keep coming back you spend more than 20 years in prison. >> yes. >> now you come back every two weeks. how is that not triggering or traumatizing >> when i was in prison, there were people who gave me hope and support, and that's how i survived there is something inherent inside of me that just won't allow me to leave these people behind >> so to critics of the program, j.j. points out that 95% of the
8:18 am
men in sing sing will be released at some point so he asks what kind of men do we want them to be when we return to society? by the way, guys, when we were there "voices from within" will be expanding to every prison throughout new york state. you can learn more about j.j.'s case in "letters from sing sing." you can find that wherever you get your podcasts. the warmer warden near the prison, soon to retire, strongly considering going to work with j.j. to expand this program. >> how much time did j.j. do, 20 >> 20 years? the fact that he goes back every two weeks says a lot. >> he's a special kind of guy to say the least. >> thank you let's get a check on the weather now from al. >> thank you so much we're looking at showers making their way across the great lakes. going to be heavier rain across
