miss. there's a lot of swifties out there. we begin with tonight's convention. >> a historic final day of the democratic national convention. >> tonight, vice president kamala harris set to formally accept the nomination for president in chicago. she will be the first black woman and asian american to earn the honor from a major party. it was one month ago today that vice president harris officially launched her campaign after president biden dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed her. >> harris' running mate, tim walz, accepted the nomination last night. one of the biggest moments happened off stage, his 17-year-old son, gus, was cheering him on from the crowd. he stood up, pointed to the stage and said that is my dad. governor walz and his wife had said gus's learning disorders are his secret power. >> joining us from chicago is kelly o'donnell. it makes me cry every time i see that. it's a big day tonight for vice

president harris in many ways, right? this is also her tenth wedding anniversary? is that right? what are we expecting out of this final night tonight, kelly. >> the stars are really aligning in terms of peak life moments for kamala harris. you're right, this is so critical, when you think of her time in public life, she was a california state official and quickly dubbed a rising star in the party. then a governing partner and running mate to joe biden, sitting vice president. tonight is a singular moment built around kamala harris herself and her vision of the country and what she wants to do at the top of the ticket and the candidate. we are in the california delegation here. daytime hours, there's a lot of rehearsing, music and delegates milling about. california is such a large piece of real estate on the convention floor, she will be surrounded by support.

tonight the aim is for her in some ways to introduce herself to those americans who may only know a little bit about her or might only have a snapshot of what her time in office as vice president has been. we do expect that she will give respect and honor to president biden who made a lot of this possible for her and to show her appreciation for his public service. and then talking about her own vision and laying out what she has accomplished as a professional, as a lawyer, as a prosecutor, as a state attorney general, united states senator and vice president. implicit in all of that is to say she's prepared for this moment and she has a plan and a vision that she will have to articulate. and coming out of this convention, with all of the energy and focus on joy and freedom, terms they tried to brand as a part of her campaign, she will have to with there for

things until the final night of the election. >> what else do we expect tonight? >> there will be a -- someone that they have been looking at to try to help bring home michigan, which is a critical battleground state. same, too, for senator mark kelly, who was in the running mate race. obviously she chose tim walz, but senator kelly for arizona, trying to bridge that. he as the spouse of gabby giffords, a former lawmaker herself, the victim of political violence, she can speak to issues that matter to this delegation and to this convention. we'll have that plus a bit of entertainment. pink will be singing tonight. ladies? >> is that who is behind you right now? i can't tell. >> i can't tell either. >> all right. >> i don't think that's pink at the moment.

>> thank you. let's bring in chuck todd who is with us as well. great to see you. vice president harris is the headliner. you have a new article you have written on nbcnews.com about what this convention would have looked like if president biden was the headliner. how different would it have been? >> i think there's some dramatic ways. the biggest is the -- frankly the gaza protests. this has been the dog that has not bitten as far as -- i'm sure me saying it has convention organizers saying, hey, go find some wood to knock on. the numbers have not been nearly the crowd sizes they expected on that. you can see that -- the air came out of that balloon a bit. i also think tonally, you know, joe biden, when he was head of the party was painting donald trump as this dark and menacing threat to the future of the

democracy. kamala harris in this one month that she has taken over the party has certainly made donald trump the center of this campaign but in a more the aging vegas act needs to go type of thing. turning the page, moving on, nine years, it's tiring. using a bit more satire to go after him rather than sort of the darker messaging, the darker fear tactic messaging that frankly i don't think was working. a lot of people didn't think it was working. now that you see this sort of messaging flip by harris, it's a reminder, this convention would have looked awfully different. the single biggest blunder of this campaign is donald trump's decision to accept the biden campaign's debate challenge back in june. imagine if trump had said no, we might not have -- he said we'll debate in september.

we may have never had this candidate switch. >> it goes to show you how quickly things can change in this cycle. chuck, for tonight, what are you watching for when it comes to vice president harris? >> she has to fill in the blanks on her, not on substance. if she makes this a policy-oriented speech, you know, like frankly joe biden did on monday night, i think she'll lose the audience. i don't think people know about her time as a prosecutor. i don't think people know about her time as an attorney general. certainly some compelling cases she worked on that "politico" has been talking about today. reassuring voters that, hey, she shares their values without having to get too specific and divide her own party. >> chuck todd, thank you very much. we'll see you later. our special coverage of the dnc continues this afternoon it streams on nbc news now and prime time coverage begins at

9:00 p.m. eastern tonight. >> that's when you can watch vice president kamala harris' speech on nbc news now or your local nbc station. let's turn to the republican nominee, former president trump. he's in arizona to visit the southern border. >> he may be adding an unlikely ally. nbc news has learned that robert f. kennedy jr., is planning to bow of the presidential race and endorse trump. dasha burns joins us now from arizona. the former president is in the same spot senator vance visited just a few weeks ago. what have we been hearing from the campaign on the issue of immigration and what do we expect to hear from mr. trump today? >> well, zinhle, former president trump just arrived on site moments ago. i'll step to the side so tony

can show you the scene behind you here. he'll be stepping up to that podium shortly. right now, he's engaging with local law enforcement, some people we expect to be making an appearance during his remarks today. this is the issue the trump campaign has been hammering vice president harris on since the beginning. this is an issue where the former president feels he has a real edge, the polling does show that to be likely the case. he is going to go after her today, we expect, on the issue of immigration. that's what the campaign wants him to do. of course, there's the personal attacks that he can't help but use. so we'll see if he gets into that today. he's also likely to talk about his plan for his immigration policy if he were to win, which includes finishing the border wall, reinstating and expanding the travel ban and what he says will be the largest deportation operation in u.s. history. >> dasha, i want to ask about rfk jr. we just said he's probably going to drop out according to our

sources. he started as a democrat in the race. why do we think he is dropping out and what might he say about donald trump? >> well, look, he was getting some significant numbers for a third-party candidate until vice president kamala harris became the top of the ticket for democrats, then you saw some of those double haters that lean left leave rfk and start supporting harris. that means that really a large portion of those voters who are left supporting rfk jr. are likely those people who are not sure about former president trump. there have been negotiations going on between the trump campaign and rfk junior for a while now to see if they could get to a place where rfk might suspend his candidacy and endorse the former president. we may see that tomorrow. sources are telling us it's not final until it's final. >> dasha burns, thank you very much. time for today's cnbc money minute. a major jobs number was given to

some wall street firms 15 minutes before the public saw that. >> and walmart is teaming up with burger king. steve joins us now. >> the bureau of labor statistics is facing scrutiny after several wall street firms got a peek of the jobs report before it was posted on the agency's website. it's unsure if anyone actually traded on it but it's the latest in a series of incidents in which the agency shared information with investors before being available to the public. tourists carrying a section of the great wall of china can now have food delivered to them. a chinese food company will use drones to drop off food, drinks and other goods on a new extension of the wall that opened last year. and walmart announcing a whopper of a new perk for its walmart plus subscribers. members will receive a 25% discount on burger king orders

every day and free whoppers every three months. walmart hopes the perk will help to compete against amazon's prime program. for burger king, it can attract inflation-weary customers. back to you. >> interesting. >> yeah. coming up, one half of a world famous same-sex penguin couple dies. and crews are still scouring and crews are still scouring the wreckage ofhat t protect against rsv with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. arexvy is number one in rsv vaccine shots. rsv? make it arexvy.

last night at the democratic national convention, parents of an american israeli hostage made an emotional plea for their son return. they wore pieces of tape with the number 320, marking the number of days their son has been held in gaza. vice president harris and president biden spoke with benjamin netanyahu on the phone yesterday stressing the urgency of a cease-fire and hostage release deal. danielle, a new round of cease-fire talks are expected to kick off in cairo today. what do we know about what the talks are hoping to achieve and ultimately what came out of the call yesterday between biden and netanyahu? >> there's been a diplomatic

push all week by u.s. officials to get this deal over the line but optimism is fading. that being said, there is talks in cairo tonight and the focus of those talks is the rafah border and a corridor. the corridor, we've been talking a lot about it, it's a buffer zone between egypt and gaza. it's a major sticking point. it's about 320 feet wide, 8 1/2 miles long. for the egyptians, it's an issue to have the israels on their doorstep there. it would infuriate the egyptian public. hamas says they will not agree to a deal that does not see the full withdrawal of israeli forces from the gaza strip. for israel, they're concerned that hamas will use that buffer zone to rearm itself, reply its arsenal. benjamin netanyahu confirming tonight or denying reports that

an international force is being considered on that corridor. >> israel and hezbollah exchanged cross-border strikes yesterday, despite the ongoing push by mediators for peace. you already talked about how optimism is dwindling. i imagine strikes only test that further. >> they do. you know, talking about the corridor, i must say and add to that that there is no confidence, the israels will say those advocating for an israeli presence on the ground will argue egyptian border guards there are too poorly paid and they can't be relied upon. as well there's reaction from the u.n. for these occupied palestinian territories, one said tonight this is history repeating itself and israel trying to create the conditions for a permanent occupation and more land grab. in the last 24 hours, five

bodies have been recovered from that super yacht that sunk off the coast of sicily. among the dead, british tech magnet, mike lynch. rescuers were still searching for his 18-year-old daughter, hannah, the last person unaccounted for. claudio is in sicily. >> reporter: on thursday evening there was no sign of the seventh and last person who went missing after the super yacht sank off the coast of sicily behind me. on monday morning a source told cnbc it's probably hannah, the 18-year-old daughter of mike lynch, whose body is to be believed to be retrieved from the shipwreck. an investigation has been opened here in sicily on what could have caused the yacht to sink in a matter of minutes as several survivors said. the yacht builder told italian media that it was virtually unsinkable and that he believes the incident was caused by a

series of human errors. on wednesday prosecutors here questioned the captain of the yacht who is among the survivors for two hours to understand what happened and if anything could have been done to prevent this tragedy. two doctors who took care of the survivors after they were rescued monday morning told nbc news they were all in a state of shock and told them in the middle of the storm, the lights went off, everything went dark, they found themselves in the water and the yacht sank. all of it in a matter of minutes. they remembered the 1-year-old baby who survived alongside her parents. the doctor said she was soaking wet and very cold but without a scratch. >> thank you. still ahead, train shipments still ahead, train shipments in canada come t ao (♪♪) oohh kenny... what the...? is it your constipation with belly pain again? well... relax, i'm future you future me? our doctor figured it out. the symptoms keep coming back because it's ibs-c. he said linzess could help you

home a message that is loud and clear. change needs to happen now. it comes just days after a 17 year old girl was killed by a suspected hit and run driver who was drunk. this is surveillance video, but we are only showing you the moments leading up to the crash because it is graphic. this happened just after 630 monday evening on international boulevard near 72nd avenue. the video shows the teen and her mom crossing the street at a crosswalk. that is where the driver can be seen crashing into them. the teenager died at the scene while paramedics rushed her mom to the hospital, where she is in stable condition now. organizers of today's protest will commemorate the life of another man, who was reportedly struck while riding his bike on broadway and 27th just weeks ago. that man died after the crash. at least 19 people have been killed this year, according to data cited by today's organizers. at least 33 people have lost their lives to traffic

just getting to know kamala harris, her life story, her experience, what she stands for. she will also highlight the administration's accomplishments and contrasting her vision for the country with former president trump's. our damian trujillo has been there all week. he will continue his coverage from the dnc. you can watch him live tonight on nbc bay area. a major commuter headache for light rail riders in san francisco who live on the other side of twin peaks. there is a week long closure. it kicked off for the twin peaks tunnel. crews are doing some much needed repairs and rehabilitation work. this means muni metro stations at west portal and forest hill will be closed through the 29th of this month. riders will instead use the k, l and m busses and the s shuttle trains as alternatives. the subway will still operate from embarcadero to castro. really great animation and more

headlines. >> the university of idaho opened a brand-new healing garden dedicated to the four students killed in an off-campus house back in 2022. that house was demolished in 2023. hundreds gathered at the university for the garden's dedication ceremony on wednesday. several of the victims family members were on hand. a potential game changer for people going through menopause. a drug found to reduce menopause symptoms is now in late-stage trials. the nonhormonal drug developed by bayer works by targeting two preceptors in the brain. one regulates body temperature, the other affects mood and sleep. during clinical trials, the once-daily pill was found to significantly reduce symptoms compared to the placebo. bayer filed an application with the fda to approve the drug earlier this month. one of the penguins in a same-sex couple that became beloved around the world has died. australia's sydney sea life aquarium confirmed today that sven, the penguin, died just before his 12th

birthday. he rose to fame in 2018 when he became inseparatable from another male penguin named magic. the duo co-parented two baby penguins and were featured in books, documentaries and a netflix series. when magic saw the body of his dead partner, he began singing and all the other penguins that were around began to sing as well. switching gears, we're following breaking news on new covid vaccines. >> the fda has just approved and granted emergency use authorization for updated covid-19 vaccines from moderna and pfizer. the shots are expected to be available within days. could you tell us more about these vaccines? >> this news really breaking in the last hour from the fda granting approval to the mrna vaccines, both moderna and pfizer. a couple things people should

know off the top. this vaccine is updated to match the more variants in circulation in terms of the actual virus we're seeing out there now. the other thing that i think is important to realize here, this is earlier than last year. this is a few weeks earlier than we saw the updated shots last year. a large part of that is we're in a large summer wave here. what may end up being the largest summer wave we've seen so far with covid-19, a lot of things to think about. >> who should get the shot? >> kate, the cdc recommends everybody over the age of six months should get the shot. the point to highlight is those with weak immune systems, those with underlying health conditions like asthma or lung disease should get the shot. and people over the age of 65. we're still seeing nursing home outbreaks, and that's the focus that needs to be on this

upcoming season. >> we mentioned the new shots could be available within days. should we all prepare to go out and get them right away? >> that's the big question, when should i get my shot, especially as we're in a summer wave. i would say for everybody who is high-risk, i would not wait. i would get this now. for everybody else, you know, especially if you've recently been infected like myself, you want to wait three months. if you get the vaccine too soon after an infection, it won't do much for you. for everyone else out there who hasn't been sick and is wondering when to get this i would wait until october about the time you get the flu shot because we're expecting a winter wave and you want the most protection possible. >> finally, bottom line, for kids, you're saying six months and older. for parents out there, we should -- should we make this a habit every year we'll get our kids the covid shot? >> in a perfect world, kate, that's really what we're hoping for. the phrase that we've mentioned

a lot, flu before boo, getting that flu shot before trick-or-treating. think about the covid vaccine the same way. these viruses tend to hit at about the same time. if you can get both vaccines in the same time period, for the family and the kids, it should make everybody safer. >> doctor, thank you. we are expecting another slate of big names on the final night of the democratic national convention before kamala harris formally accepts the party's nomination for president. >> there is a lot more happening at the convention that we don't see on center stage. jacob soboroff takes us inside the dnc. >> when we fight, we win! >> reporter: minnesota governor tim walz bringing down the house on the third night of the dnc. >> t it's the fourth quarter, we're down a field goal. but we're on offense and we've got the ball. we're driving down the field. and boy, do we have the right team.

>> the former school teacher and football coach cheered on by his family, including his emotional son, gus. after the speech in the minnesota delegation -- >> walz! walz! >> reporter: -- walz's speech following a night heavy on star power, including former president clinton who reminded office he left office a century ago but is still younger than donald trump. >> he mostly talks about himself. so the next time you hear him, don't count the lies. count the is. >> the surprise guest, talk show giant, oprah winfrey. >> les all choose kamala harris! >> reporter: endorsing the vice president as a trail blazer, while trying to appeal to independent voters and

condemning donald trump. >> we won't be set back, pushed back, bullied back, kicked back, we're not going back. >> reporter: there's a lot more to this convention than what happens on stage. this is what you don't get to see on television. all the dignitaries coming through here. a big celebrity, lester holt. what should people know? >> people should know this is a maze. there are people you don't see on tv because we haven't found them. >> reporter: behind the scenes, staff and volunteers work tirelessly to make sure things run smoothly and everybody has a good time. ♪♪ you never know what you'll see. this guy is a correspondent for "the daily show." i've been walking around a lot. i'm getting my steps in.

plenty of political heavyweights in attendance along with flannel choices like michigan flannel to lone star sparkles. and this 95-year-old, the oldest delegate here. it's an honor to meet you. >> the pleasure is mine. >> reporter: can i give you a hug? >> yes. >> reporter: this is what i love about being at the convention. she was amazing. i do love that about the convention, meeting folks like her, the oldest delegate at the convention. up here in the nosebleeds, these are the balloons that will rain down tonight over all of the delegates assembled on the floor inside the united center when kamala harris, the vice president of the united states, makes her speech in her quest to become the president. guys? >> all right. jacob, thanks for that. right now there are growing concerns about a major supply chain disruption. >> that's because of a labor dispute between two major freight railroads in canada that shut down operations overnight.

all rail traffic has stopped.it railyards in canada. brian chung is here with everything we need to know. walk us through what's going on with this dispute. >> the two companies are in labor dispute with the major union there, teamsters. basically they're trying to get across the finish line some sort of deal that would allay the fears among workers. they're asking for more flexible work schedules. they would like more rest periods, and they say the company is trying to relocate workers to places where the families don't want to leave. the companies claim they're bargaining in good faith but that there were offers on the table that was ultimately rejected. how long it will take to settle this strike? we don't know. in 2022, president biden and congress had to get involved to

stop a strike seven days before it was supposed to happen. now we're hearing justin trudeau may have to get parliament to do something similar. how long that could take, it remains to be seen. >> this has already started. what are we looking at in the u.s. in terms of stoppages to supplies here or what products are affected? >> people wondering why does something that is happening in canada matter to the united states? things entering from the port of vancouver enter through the united states. there are 2,700 u.s. railcars that may not be able to cross the border. that could be billions of dollars of goods, we're talking about cars, chemicals, lumber, coal, the parts in a car, for example. that's fine if we're manufacturing cars in the united states, but if a part is coming in from vancouver and it can't get to michigan, that is a big deal. >> you're talking about supply chain, covid humbled us but

taught us a lot. what has the u.s. done to keep these issues at bay? >> this is far from the first supply chain issue we've talked about with the rail network. there was the suez canal that led to backlogs at many ports. when it comes to mitigating this, we don't have a strike among u.s. rail operators. maybe they're trying to redirect boats from vancouver to los angeles. it remains to be seen. >> brian chung, thank you. now to a new message from taylor swift. she's speaking out since her cancelled eras tour shows. >> what is swift saying about her canceled shows and the impact that that thwarted terrorist plot had on her and

her fans. >> she said having the shows canceled was devastating. 170,000 fans were expected to see taylor between august 8th and 10th. authorities and swift's teams canceled the shows because of a plot. she said there was fear and guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows. she said she wanted to wait until the european leg of her tour was finished. she said i will not speak about something publicly if doing so would harm those fans coming to my shows. >> what kind of information have officials released about that terrorist plot and what's next for the pop star? >> authorities say the main suspect was 19 years old and confessed he plans to kill himself and a large number of people. we know two other teenagers involved had connections with

extremist groups. swift said her goal was to finish the european tour safely we're grieving concerts and not lives. in a few months, swift will perform in canada this november and december. >> thank you very much. still ahead, a single mother's home collapses. how a priceless item was found after she thought all was lost. here's the daily snapshot. that's a bear holding a ruler. there's an explanation for it. it's weigh-in time at the zoo in england. zookeepers and veterinarians gather height and weight to monitor the well-being of the animals. looks lik

earlier this week, we showed you some of that severe flash flooding in connecticut that led to the deaths of two people. >> as cleanup efforts continue across the state, one woman found a happy ending against the odds, reuniting with a priceless memory after the floods swept it all away. heidi voigt explains how her own reporting helped make it happen. >> reporter: long before the

storm, randy already knew there are some things in life that just can't be replaced. >> the day before her 12th birthday, her mother passed away. >> it's hard. single mom who doesn't have a mom because moms need moms, too. >> reporter: the precious few reminders that were in that house -- >> her hairbrush, my father held on to a little bottle of her perfume. >> reporter: swept away to who knows where. there's so many things randy says she could never have dreamed. who could have known the same babbling brook her 3-year-old splashed around in could become a raging river that took things away like that. who could have known that 35 miles away on a west port beach along long island sound, another mother, a perfect stranger to randy, was about to enter her life.

>> reporter: nancy lewis had no idea that her usual stroll on monday afternoon would turn up buried treasure. >> a lot of debris. i'm walking by the water's edge and i see what looks like a photograph in the water. >> reporter: not just any photo, the kind every mom knows -- >> two kids, 27 and 23. >> reporter: -- that means a lot. so nancy looked up the name. >> my heart broke. reading her story. that's why i reached out to you, heidi. i saw your instagram post. >> reporter: which brings us now to this. >> i saw the devastation, read your story, a single mom, emergency room nurse. i figured you were somebody always caring for other people. i just wanted to see if there was anything i could do for you. apart from this sonogram i

found. >> reporter: randy's sonogram, the first time she saw her son riley's face. >> it floated all the way from oxford to a beach in west port. >> that's him. >> i had to track you down. >> thank you. that's incredible. what are the chances? >> for her to be out on that beach at that time, to see something like that and not think it was a piece of garbage, to follow through, it's a story in itself. it allows me to think there is something greater than us. >> reporter: for randy, it's another reminder of the irreplaceable. >> throughout this whole tragedy, riley and i are alive. several people are not.

so, you know, maybe to honor those people who can't move forward, riley and i can just work on thriving. >> those mementos you will learn to get over. the true ones are here in your mind. those are the ones that nobody can take away from you. those are the ones you fall back on. it's good. it's all good. >> reporter: in oxford -- >> have faith. life is good. >> reporter: heidi voigt, nbc connecticut news. >> what a powerful story. >> really beautiful. a good reminder that good news is out there. >> yeah. thank you for sharing that with us. there's much more news coming up. >> don't go anywre, you're >> don't go anywre, you're he ♪limu emu♪ ♪& doug.♪ and if we win, we get to tell you how liberty mutual customizes car insurance so you only pay for what you need. isn't that what you just did? service! ♪stand back i'm going to show ya,♪ ♪how doug and limu roll, yeah!♪

to one parent about what she told her son yesterday. i had to tell my son that, just to be cautious, just to be aware of his surroundings. and just if you see something or if you hear something just like, i don't know, run. the district says it sent out two messages to inform families what happened yesterday. a cool down and enjoy it while you can because things are going to warm back up. here's kari hall with a look at the week ahead. today, expect gusty winds and cooler temperatures for our inland areas. it will be in the upper 70s for a high today. we're in the upper 50s tonight and then back to the upper 70s tomorrow. our cooler than normal weather will be short lived, but will wrap up with a chance of rain late friday into early saturday, and then temperatures will start to warm up with some mid 80s in the inland areas. by sunday we're seeing some low 90s and then upper 90s for early next week. the hottest day will be on tuesday, and in san francisco it's going to be mostly cloudy with upper 60s throughout much

of the weekend. watching out for some mist and drizzle. some light showers possible there, and then early next week we'll see highs in the upper 70s i'll say what city hall insiders won't. we have a drug, homelessness, and economic recovery crisis, because the system that's supposed to fix things is the problem. record budgets. fewer officers. business killing bureaucracy. the insiders won't change a system built for their benefit. i'm daniel lurie and san francisco needs a mayor unafraid to take on the status quo, bring accountability, and stop the excuses.

problem is simply just keeping the lights on. the new mudville headquarters opened up in the mission district on monday, and the very next day the power shut off. pg&e says the shelter went over its limit one day after opening, and the owner calls it a miscommunication between the building developers and the utility company. and while power was later restored, the owner says it won't be enough to operate the new space effectively. most of our outlets are washers, our dryers. our grooming area we rented from the spca in a really old, old building. and we have less power here than we had there. in a

statement, pg&e says mudville electric demand went beyond the load limit and pg&e was not informed of the change. the higher than expected demand overloaded pg&e circuit twice damaging pg&e equipment and causing potential safety and reliability issues for surrounding customers. the statement goes on to say pg&e continues to work with mudville and their contractor on a long term plan to safely deliver electricity in the future. now, if you have a pet and you have room for another pet in your life, or you want your first one, you can join us this weekend. nbc bay area and telemundo 48 are holding a special adoption event this saturday at the santa clara county animal services center that's in san martin. all animals will be free to adopt. we're talking about dogs, cats, rabbits. and you don't even need to adopt a pet to join the festivities. everyone is welcome. i know we have some
