we'll do the job. i say, give us the tools and we'll finish the job a lot faster. >> reporter: the white house's response also coming quick and sharp. >> let me just start off by saying that we genuinely do not know what he's talking about. we just don't. >> reporter: there had already been tension over a previously delayed shipment of bombs to israel over u.s. concerns it might be used to kill civilians in rafah. >> as you know, we're continuing to review one shipment, but everything else is moving as it normally would move. >> reporter: the white house denied reports that it canceled a meeting with israeli officials over the video. but u.s. officials told nbc news they were reluctant to reward netanyahu with a meeting and that it had been postponed. more pressure for netanyahu this morning after the main idf contradicted the goal of defeating hamas. saying overnight, anyone who thinks can eliminate hamas is wrong. adding the idea that it can be destroyed without new leadership being installed in gaza is throwing sand in the eyes of the public.

the government saying that the idf is committed to destroying hamas. and craig, we're seeing more attacks in the red sea. the british military is reporting that a greek ship that was attacked a few days ago by yemen's houthi rebels has sunk, craig? >> matt bradley for us there in jerusalem. matt, thank you. also this morning, a controversial move in louisiana is making headlines all around the country. the state's republican governor signed a new law requiring the ten commandments be displayed in all public school classrooms. critics are quick to question the constitutionality and of course threatening some lawsuits there. let's bring in nbc's senior legal correspondent laura jarett. walk us through what happened there. >> all right. the governor signed this new law. the poster will have to be posted, as you say, in every classroom, a big poster. but it also has to have some context saying that the ten commandments has been a part of american history. they are trying to do that they show it's not just about religion. the bill's sponsors know it

could trigger legal issues. it also pointed out, the state funds will not be used to do this poster. it will come from private donations. louisiana is the only state in the nation to do this, and the governor is already saying he welcomes lawsuits. he can't wait to be sued, he said. >> so it sounds like he's anticipating this lawsuit. how do we expect this will play out in court. >> so, as you might imagine, the supreme court has had things to say about this in the past. back in the 1980s, skye kai tried to do this exact thing, guys, and the court said no good. violates the first amendment. they struck it down. but more recently over the last couple decades the court's composition has changed. it might be that the bill's sponsors that this u.s. supreme court has a conservative supermajority might look more favorably on this. as we have seen a line of case over the past couple years really being much more sympathetic to religious views of expression. >> our senior legal correspondent laura jarrett, thank you, laura. to an update on a story we have been following for months now. a los angeles woman, also a ballerina, detained in russia and held on charges of treason.

under way to exchange gershkovich following the 2022 deal for wnba star brittney griner, who was freed in a prisoner swap after time in a penal colony, she says, she will never forget. and that news, hoda, that evan gershkovich faces the same judge next week will be noted by his friends and family, the way the case started and stopped today, perhaps a warning for them to brace themselves emotionally. hoda? >> indeed. keir simmons there in germany. keir simmons, thank you. big day in the weather department. what's happening? let's bring mr. roker back. what are we looking at, buddy? >> good morning. good morning to you. severe storms in northern new england. that summer sizzler continues. we have a flood risk in the northern plains and parts of the upper midwest. we will look at that in the next half hour. showers and storms in the southwest. lots of sunshine and heat out west. we're going to get to your local forecast in the next 30 seconds.

that can't swim well. >> i want everyone possible to know cpr because it really does save lives. >> reporter: as scary as that story is, so many things went right. the sister saw the parents are cpr trained. they went that quick and did everything within minutes. that's such a good story. a lot of times these things morgan, happen at the beach where things can be a little more tenuous. what do you do there? >> yeah, hoda. we spoke to an expert. the red cross says always swim with a buddy. even if you're in a life guarded area, it doesn't matter, the buddy system still applies. beware of weather and water conditions such as currents or waves, which are not just found in oceans. there could be issues in fresh water as well. an expert we spoke to suggests dressing your kids up in bright colors so they are easily seen in the water by you and potentially a life guard. he says do not let flotation devices create a false sense of security. always be watching. we do want to thank our friends in charlotte for alerting us to

this very important story. good tips for all of us as we head to the water. guys? >> yeah. all right. >> that includes water parks, all the places. thank you so much, morgan. we appreciate it. all right. mr. roker standing by. lots of severe weather out there. >> we are looking at this line of storms making its way to the east right now. one line approaching minneapolis, another chicago. probably see some airport delays over the next several hours. then as we move to the east, we have a risk of severe weather for 12 million people from buffalo, portland, boston, down to liberty. tornado threat low, but damaging hail and wind, heavy rain back through the upper mississippi river valley in the northern plains. locally they could be looking at five inches. today is the summer solstice. so earth axis usually tilted at about 23.5 degrees. now at 4:20 this afternoon, the north pole will reach its maximum tilt toward the sun. so that means more daylight today than any other day of the year. the sun reaches its highest point in the sky.

it shines directly over the tropic of cancer at 23.5 north. so we will be enjoying this summer. then after today, every day gets a little shorter. speaking of shorter, this is actually the -- right now this is the earliest we have ever seen the summer solstice since 1796. why? because we have to adjust because of leap years, the fact that the sun doesn't go around the -- the earth doesn't go around the sun 365 days exactly. although, you know, craig does think that it does. >> oh, wow. wow. >> i could see you looking because i made a little mistake. >> no, no. >> but anyway, we have to adjust because of leap years and things like that. so that's why we're actually seeing the sun and this summer day starting earlier than 1796. i was talking to joe biden about that the other day. we enjoyed it so much when we talked with georgeorge washi

course, that extreme weather. across much of the country, more than 80 million people are under some kind of heat advisory this morning. several cities from michigan to maine expecting the heat index to reach triple digits. now out west, the heat is fueling those wild fires. in new mexico, more than 1,400 structures have been destroyed, including 500 homes. in the meantime, the first named storm is in full swing, bringing heavy rain to the gulf coast and, of course, al is keeping track of all of it. he's back with the latest. >> good morning. good morning to you as well. alberto made land fall into mexico, moving west at 35 miles per hour, 450 mile-per-hour winds. you can see we do have a lot of heavy rain now. still another 1 to 2 inches possible. laredo, corpus christi and on into the panhandle. we're talking anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of rain. we have heat alerts from california to the northeast.

all told we're talking over 80 million people. but in the northeast, great lakes, 65 million people under heat advisories and heat warnings as well with heat indexes into the mid to upper 90s from bangor to detroit, indianapolis, washington, d.c., continues tomorrow with again that heat -- those heat indexes again near 100 degrees to the mid to upper 90s. but the good news is if you're north of this front, temperatures cool down remarkably from buffalo, boston, traverse city, michigan, but to the south of the front, we're talking temperatures still into early next week upper 80s into the mid to upper 90s. guys? >> all right, al. we'll come back in just a few minutes. meanwhile, al just mentioned there, summer officially arriving today. the 4th of july right around the corner. and this morning, aaa says you can expect a record breaking number of travelers for that holiday. nbc business correspondent brian cheung with everything we need to know as we get ready to plan

the 4th of july trips. first of all, how many folks are talking about traveling the 4th of july weekend and where are they going? >> happy summer. this comes after a record-number of travellers for memorial weekend. that's one reason why aaa is saying this memorial day could break records as well. they're projecting 79 million traveling. when you break it out, the majority of those will be driving, right? a lot will be taken by car. those over 50 miles. you will also have those that will be flying and also taking trains and planes as well. so, again, this is a lot of people that are expected to be traveling. >> some people are last-minute bookers. they haven't booked their trips yet for the 4th of july. how much do you think it will run you if you waited? >> yeah. when it comes to the prices themselves, we have to remember for those driving, gas prices are cheaper this year. right now $3.44. that's the average per gallon down 14 cents from this time last year. good news for those that are

doing car rentals as well. it will be cheaper, some data from the government shows that prices for car rentals are down almost 9% from last year. and airfare is down 2% from last year. that depends on what itinerary you are looking at. of course. >> even for last-minute bookings. >> even for some last-minute bookings. depending on where you're going, of course. >> any advice on how to make the trip go smoother? >> july 4th falls on thursday. if you are trying to travel on wednesday and come back on sunday, so is everybody else. so those will be the heaviest traffic days. the best day to travel according to aaa will be july 1st if you can afford to take off earlier in that week. for those that are traveling by plane, of course, some good practices for getting to the airport. you want to get there earlier. try to give yourself two hours in addition to maybe just put everything into your carry-on and don't have to deal with a checked bag. also reserve a parking spot. you can pull up to the airport and get on, at some airports. >> thanks, brian.

"today's consumer." this morning a closer look at resistance wear, a new trend in workout clothes that help you burn more calories and also improve your form. >> but are the clothes worth the investment? vicky nguyen is here. >> tell us! >> you were skeptical, weren't you? >> i'm always skeptical, craig. you may have seen these ads on social media companies touting their leggings, shorts, sports bras as the next big thing to give you an edge when you exercise. so we went to the experts, and see if the claims pan out and we found out what real women have to say. >> reporter: new active wear ads on social media promise everything from muscle support and increased calorie burn to posture correction. this sports bra wentz viral

after taylor swift was seen wearing one. it's workout wear with a boost and it's a fast-growing segment of the $238 billion market. to understand the science behind the claims, we chose popular items to try. leggings that have resistance bands sewn inside that say they will give you a better workout and burn more calories. leggings out the compression support and form science sports apparel, the sports bra taylor wore and the sculpt shorts that help with posture and alignment. we note emma seymour at the good housekeeping institute. they had up to five women test the products for up to three weeks. first we looked at the bra. one of the promises for this sports bra is it will improve your posture. what did the testers say? >> they did find when wearing the sports bra they were more cognizant of their posture. they felt like this tight band in that back gave them that gentle reminder to pull their

shoulder blades down in back. >> next up, the leggings. >> these are designed to help provide zone compression on your legs to help you in theory aid with muscle strength and recovery. >> reporter: she says testers didn't really notice those benefits but they like the fit. >> the main con they noted sit a thicker material but because of that some did feel it ran hot. >> reporter: the company says the effectiveness of the benefits varies on individual factors and frequency of use and that the medium thickness allows for year-round wear though they have other options to help wearers stay cool. the built-in resistance bands can help you give you a better workout and burn more calories. >> they found them uncomfortable because of the compression but the company says they're excited to take the first steps towards having clothing do more for you. >> so how would i perform wearing these clothes in a work-out lab? we went to the princeton longevity center in manhattan

where certified physiologist compared my form in regular clothes and the resistance wear as i lunge, squatted, stepped and ran my way toward answers. >> she was warming up and now it's around 83 beats or so. so now we're ready to start. >> he's reading that from a little monitor that i have here right above my sternum. i started in the leggings. can you tell if they're helping with my form at all? >> your movement is absolutely perfect right now. >> reporter: then i wore the sweet flex leggings. >> it is harder to work out in these pants. >> you're welcome at 120 already. >> you saw a difference in my heart rate with the tighter pants. >> yes. harder for me. harder for my workout which mean mrs. calories. >> also cardiovascular conditioning. it's a good workout. >> reporter: next up the form bra and shorts. >> i do kind of feel like it's holding my posture now that i'm running. i do feel supported. >> reporter: we compared to regular workout clothes. >> when you have tight leggings

on you feel more stability and movement. >> i see your movement is correct, but i also see a little -- a little movement of your hip going in a little. so that's a little bit instability. >> reporter: then it was time for the big reveal. did the claims of our work-out wear really live up to the hype? what was your biggest take away from when i was in regular clothes versus when i was wearing the resistance clothing. >> really your running. with the outfit you were very stable. your heart rate was under control. when you had the regular running outfit on, immediately we notice hip drop on your right side and we also notice your left elbow flying out. you were breathing a little heavier. that is then telling us that the outfits may help. >> yeah. >> we should note these were not scientific experiments. results may vary for individuals. they won't work if you hate working out like carson.

these companies are not the only ones out there who make clothing with claims. these are the ones we chose because we saw them on a lot of social media feeds. this cannot possibly work or what is this all about. and i was surprised. even when i was running, i felt like everything was held into place. helped me with my form. >> if i'm wearing some resistance wear that makes me feel good about myself, i'm less likely to work out that day because i walk -- i put it on. i'll work out tomorrow. >> you might burn more calories, but i would assume you're going to burn more cash, too. >> these legs start around $74. the sports bra goes for $178. >> the taylor swift one. >> yes, that one. i would just say, don't wear them all day because they're very constrictive. they're tight and the doctors say that's not something you should wear for eight hours a day. >> maybe if you don't have a lot of time and want et get it in and get it done. >> i would think it's harder for

me to do something i do less of it. when you crank up the bike, hard to pedal. >> the walk to ihop is long. >> interesting. >> interesting. >> you were skeptical going in. >> i was always skeptical. how could this be. just buy a smaller size, it will be tighter. no, the resistance bands are placed in strategic locations. >> it's like the k-tape is inside. >> interesting. let's head over to mr. roker to get a check of the forecast. hey, al. >> i'm tired listening to all of this. i'm exhausted. i feel like i worked out. in fact, it does work. we love that. we're looking at severe storms yesterday in northern new england flood risk through the upper great lakes and the upper midwest. some showers and storms through the southwest. plenty of sunshine out west. that's what's goinon around g

what to tell people to expect. this one is maybe extra difficult because it's -- there is just so much going on, and it's three separate stories that sort of vaguely tie together. i don't know. just expect to be -- to think a lot? >> i would say it is dealing with very universal themes that any human being is dealing with, but they deal with these things in surreal, sometimes comedic, sometimes dark ways. >> the director, you guys have worked with him before. you won an oscar last time you worked with him. does that add pressure the next time you work with him? >> i don't think so. i mean, it is really -- jesse and i are about to work on another film with him like right after this in a couple of days. i think there is something about getting to work with people multiple times and knowing them well and feeling that level of trust that actually makes the whole process really enjoyable

and kind of freeing. i don't know if it's pressure. it's is more kind of a feeling of freedom. >> the film was so well received at caan. you got a five-minute standing applause, standing ovation. you won an award for your performance. you're at a point in your career where you get to work with folks you idolize, robert de niro. do you still get star struck when you work with mr. de niro? >> of course, yeah. this most recent project i project i worked with him on, this mini series called "zero day" the third time i worked with him, so i have reached a point where i'm a little more comfortable. but still i will think to myself, wow, this is crazy. i feel pretty comfortable with robert de niro. and i think, should i be feeling this comfortable? should i button it up a bit? >> really quickly before we go, emma, my favorite part of the film, this dance scene. i think we have some video, not

to give away too much. but this is -- this is you getting down in nunz. >> yeah. >> what's the story about the moves there? >> just came from her heart and soul. >> came from my heart and soul, yes. there was -- during "poor things" making "poor things" i would dance between takes and things. and this one was something that he saw me do an he was like, we should just recreate this with "kinds of kindness" just make it up as you go but make it sort of like this. >> we're glad you did. >> thank you. thank you very much. >> emily, thank you. >> thank you. >> jesse, thank you as well. >> kinds of kindness in select theaters this friday and everywhere on june 28th. still ahead, summer is officially here, folks. everyone is ready for fun in the sum. but first, chassis post has the versatile fashion, sunscreen to add to your car.
