>> there you go. good idea. have a great weekend. that's what's happening "today in the bay." . good morning, congress in chaos -- house republicans racing to find a new speaker this morning. one day after the leading contender, congressman kevin mccarthy slid drops out of the running. >> i think i shocked some of you, huh? bitterly divided republicans scrambling for a replacement. >> this is not the time or place. >> and democrats, giddy. >> do they have any news they'd like to discuss? >> what happened? who's in the running now? and was mccarthy undone by a whisper campaign? we're live on capitol hill. air scare -- >> we got a bird strike, 79. >> 79, say again, did you see what happened with delta?

>> the most exciting news for air travelers we didn't mention in the open, boeing is developing a plane going to be ready next week that has overhead space, can you fit your bag in the overhead. >> there it is, where's the angelic music? bigger overhead space. we'll show you that coming up. but first the day's top story, the washington whiplash, congressional republicans if turmoil after the man expected to be the next house speaker, congressman kevin mccarthy dropped out of the running, shocking everyone. could one former speaker be angling for the job now? nbc national correspondent peter alexander has the latest from capitol hill. peter, good morning. >> good morning to you, you said it -- congress is in chaos now, it's still entirely unclear which republican will emerge the unifying figure in the party. several high-profile members are now pushing for the former vice presidential nominee, paul ryan, to reconsider and throw his hat in the ring. >> the chair declares the house in recess.

>> it's a question consuming the capital. who will inherit john boehner's gavel as house speaker. >> i think i shocked some of you, huh? >> with kevin mccarthy's stunning decision to pull out of the race all eyes are san francisco cussed on paul ryan. ryan insisted he's not interested, but wouldn't rule out a run. still, ryan, boehner and mccarthy's top choice may be the only candidate who can unite bitterly divided house republicans. >> maybe we can persuade paul. paul, he ran for vice president, he's a real conscience of the party. >> the speaker doesn't have to be a member of congress, which explains why former st. peter, newt gingrich, who resigned after a republican rebellion two decades ago said he would consider a return. >> this is why george washington came out of retirement, because there are moments you can't avoid. >> just this week, a conservative republican warned any candidate for leadership who has committed misdeeds should withdraw from the race. but mccarthy dismissed that as his reason for exiting. >> no, come on.

>> boehner has said he'll stay on as speaker until a re-election for his replacement in the coming weeks. with congress facing a staggering to-do list. just weeks left to pass a spending bill to keep the government open, raise the country's debility limit or face default and pass a critical bill to repair america's roads. democrats warn the disarray comes with consequences. >> we're concerned that the board of directors of the gre greatest country on the face of the earth is dysfunctional, unable even to select a leader. >> but on the campaign trail, donald trump gave himself a pat on the back for mccarthy's move. into zbl they're giving me a lot of credit for that. because i said you really need somebody very, very tough and very smart. >> less than 24 hours after mccarthy's stunning announcement, right now in the building behind me, house republicans are trying to figure out who's up next and what the path forward looks like. savannah and willie?

>> peter alexander, thank you. >> chuck todd is the moderator of "meet the press." kevin mccarthy this time yesterday looked like a guy who was going to be the next speaker of the house, he stunned a lot of republicans in that room. how shocked were you to hear the news? >> i wasn't shocked that mccarthy was going to struggle. i thought his future was going to be at the benghazi committee. if hillary clinton got the best of the benghazi committee, i thought his speakership candidacy was in trouble. i guess i'm shocked that he didn't even try to see if he could get the votes he needed by the end of the month. on that front what happened yesterday clearly shocking. >> what's happens next? because you have a vacant job over there in the house of representatives. the speakership, it's a powerful job. and yet you don't have people falling all over themselves to fill it. >> nobody wants it for the very reasons why john boehner is leaving the job. the place is impossible to run right now. it's going to be impossible to run during a presidential election. particularly the primary. the same forces that are dividing the republican party,

trump, carson, fiorina from bush, rubio, all that stuff -- these are the forces in the house that are basically saying we don't want the same people running the house. i think that that's, i think mccarthy was, was going to be boehner 2.0, i think a lot of conservatives saw that and i think that's why they were trying to torpedo this thing. >> the name on everyone's lips in washington is paul ryan. he was the running mate to mitt romney in 2012, a guy highly respected among conservatives and republicans on the hill. he's a guy who also has said i don't want this job. what are the odds that he ends up being the speaker? >> i think they're getting higher and higher. i think paul ryan is a man who can be convinced of saying you've got to do it for the party. i think the best scenario that those that want ryan to do this, is basically saying hey, you only have to do the job until the end of '16. you don't have to pledge to do it. just be the temp at this point. do whatever it takes to be, to fix this thing for now. so i think the scenario is ryan will do this, but only temporarily.

>> he'll have to answer the call, chuck todd, thank you, sir. democratic presidential candidate senator bernie sanders will be chuck's guest on "meet the press." vice president joe biden still considering jumping into the race and could make a decision as early as this weekend. but, the political hour is getting late. nbc's kristen welker is in biden's home town this morning, wilmington, delaware, kristen, good morning to you. >> savannah, good morning. a source close to the vice president confirm he is will be meeting with his family here at his home in wilmington over the weekend to discuss a possible run. well aware that the clock is ticking. and it comes as the super pac that supports biden is pulling its first tv ad at biden's request. >> things can change in a heartbeat. >> it's eat motional ad the super pac draft biden hoped would urge the vice president into entering the 2016 race. but now the super pac unaffiliated with biden has

pulled the ad at the vice president's request. according to the "l.a. times," biden felt the ad treads on sacred ground. >> my wife and three children were christmas shopping. tractor-trailer broadsided them. >> the video is aimed at highlighting biden's resilience. showcasing the moment in 1972 when a car crash killed his wife and daughter and left his two sons seriously injured. biden, who had just been elected to the u.s. senate for the first time decided to serve amid his tragedy. >> by focusing on my sons, i found my redemption. >> in a statement, the senior adviser to the group said nobody has more respect for the vice president and his family than we do. obviously we will honor his wishes. >> it's really my family and i have the emotional energy to run. >> did also comes as biden is grieving once again. having lost his son, bo, in may. the vice president has acknowledged he's not sure he has the strength to run.

>> now that six-figure ad never officially aired. meanwhile, the "new yorker" is reporting that biden staffers were briefed by the democratic national committee on filing deadlines, an indication he could be leaning towards yes. a decision is expected in days. savannah, willie. back to you. >> this as you say with a debate coming up next week. kristen welker in delaware. breaking news this morning, a shooting at a college campus in arizona. this on the same day president obama travels to oregon, to meet with some of the survivors and family members of the victims from last week's deadly shooting spree at a community college. nbc national current miguel almaguer is in roseburg, oregon. good morning. >> good morning, in the wake of another college shooting this one at northern arizona university, where a gunman wounded three and killed one, the president is set to come to roseberg. but not everyone will welcome him here with open arms. >> we have a moment of silence.

>> umpqua community college faculty and students paid tribute to the victims of a deadly shooting, as roseburg residents prepare for another day in the national spotlight. president obama coming to town today, to visit with victims and families. >> it's nothing more than a politicized opportunity for him to push his anti-gun agenda. >> regardless of how you feel about him personally or at all, call it political stuff, i think the fact that he's coming to meet with the families is excellent. >> roseburg's mayor says the president's visit is an important step in the healing process. >> he is the number one elected official for our entire nation. and by coming here, he brings that whole feeling of the nation is behind us. and in support of us. >> the white house, not releasing names of the families at the meeting. but at least one survivor's family turning down the invitation. >> on principle, i find that we,

i am you know, in disagreement with his policies on gun control and therefore, we will not be attending the visit. >> a call for protest on a facebook page called defend roseburg. telling residents it's okay to bring a firearm to show the world that american gun owners are responsible patriots. today in roseburg, the president, protest and prayers. no matter where they stand on gun control, the residents of roseburg stand united in one thing -- they say they don't want this tragedy to be turned into a political football. savannah, willie? >> miguel almaguer. overseas, north korea is preparing to put on a major show of force today to celebrate the 70th anniversary of that nation's ruling party. nbc's chief global correspondent bill neily is in the capital city of pyongyang this morning. a place very few people ever get to see. bill, good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah and willie, good morning everyone from north korea. i'm here with a very rare

opportunity to look inside one of the most closed, the most secretive countries in the world. and i'm in pyongyang in a metro station. rather beautiful. the early-morning commute, soothing patriotic music playing in the background. we're here because they've invited us in to celebrate a big party, it's a party to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding communist party. in the capital city, everyone is busy preparing for the communist party celebration. uniformed groups are practicing, children are drilling, soldiers are everywhere. no one here can step out of line. it is one of the most regimented countries on earth. i'm asked to wear an arm band to mark me out as a foreign journalist. down we go into the metro station, the pride of pyongyang. >> hello. >> the trains are frequent, journeys cost just a few cents and there's one thing the commuters haven't sr. in common --

>> nearly everyone here is wearing a party badge. most of them with a picture of the country's founder on it. there are portraits of kim il sung everywhere, but it's young grandson, kim jong-un who rules now, they say they're all behind him. >> yes, you speak some english. what does the world know about your leader? she tells me the future for her daughter is bright. as long as he's their leader. they're taught to believe their lead certificate like a parent or a god. this metro station doubles as a bomb shelter in the event of a nuclear war. the north korea is developing a nuclear weapon. the u.s. wants to stop it. this is a country like no other, isolated, proud, still locked in a cold war with the u.s. and on the streets here tomorrow, north korea will show off its military muscle.

south carolina to voluntarily evacuate. she says a new round of flooding there could linger for up to 12 days. local emergency management officials have opened up an emergency shelter but stress evacuations are voluntarily and that are right now limited to rural areas. but meanwhile, more than 350 roads and bridges remain shut down throughout the state. today here in columbia, the cleanup continues and secretary jeh johnson is scheduled to tour the area. more rain is scheduled this morning. >> difficult days ahead. thank you, gabe. as we mentioned earlier, tense moments thursday for passengers and crew aboard a delta flight from seattle to hong kong. shortly after takeoff, a red tailed hawk hit the engine of the airbus a-340, forcing the plane to return to seattle, tacoma international airport. >> air strike. 79. >> 79, say again, did you see what happened with delta? >> yeah, number 2 engine bird

strike. >> roger. >> the plane remained in the air for about an hour to burn off fuel in order to make a safer landing. eventually, the plane did land safely. thankfully, no one was injured. a tunisia democracy group has won this year's nobel peace prize. this morning, the norwegian noble peace committee announced tdialogue the diealogue quartet won. chef prudhomme died. he was a frequent guest on the "today" show. he was 75 years old. and now to that frightening video we showed at the top of the show.

if you have ever been scared to cross a suspension bridge this is not going to help you out. a group of four tourests were crossing and it collapsed under their feet, sending them plunging more than 25 feet into that river below. this is incredible. no one was seriously injured. an investigation is under way to find out exactly what went wrong there. there's nothing that could prepare you for something -- >> oh, my gosh. >> what went wrong? the bridge broke. >> you've seen movies and it's always this slow process. that was just in an instant. >> frightening. >> this doesn't happen if you just binge watch tv on your couch. >> pro tip right there. thank you. how about a look at the weather, dylan. >> more rain moving into parts of south carolina, especially as we go into saturday. in the meantime, it's this cold front that's bringing most of

its rain just south of st. louis right now. this is a cold front that's actually going to slowly spread eastward through the day today. and then as it slowly moves through south carolina, we'll see heavier pockets of rain develop across the western part of the state early saturday morning but as we go into saturday afternoon, this area of low pressure develops and this is going to be the reason why we could see some areas of heavier downpours. also, more of an easterly component to the wind. that's going to increase the regular high tide. so we could see more coastal flooding. we're not looking at a whole lot of rain, just about a quarter of an inch up to a half inch with isolated higher amounts around myrtle beach. that's no good news for the fact that rivers and creeks are all still very, very high. as for the drought, since september 29th, we have wiped out the drought completely in south carolina. but again, we could see more dangerous flooding possible as we go into this weekend. that's a look at the weather across the country. your local forecas

his condition listed as serious but stable. new video released by the sacramento police department shows two stabbing suspects fumbling into a car and driving away. >> stabbing, ambulance is en route. >> moments earlier, a different surveillance camera captured them and others fighting with spencer stone, one of the americans who foiled a terror plot in france. officers say stone appears to be the man in a long-sleeved white shirt. the hospital now says stone was stabbed three times in the torso. the air force reporting the wounds were initially so severe detectives didn't think he would survive. >> airman stone's condition is serious. while he has sustained significant injuries, his care team anticipates he will make a full recovery. in august, he and two friends took down a terror suspect aboard a high-speed train headed to france. praise around the world for their bravery.

>> this incident is a very unfortunate altercation between two groups of folks who were enjoying the nightlife in midtown sacramento. >> sacramento police say stone was not targeted. the fight started with an argument and only stone was seriously hurt. of course, great news that stone will make a full recovery. investigators also telling me another person with stone at the time, a woman, suffered minor injuries, but can't explain what happened, because she doesn't remember. police reiterating that alcohol was a factor in the fight. and nobody has been charged in the crime. savannah? willie? >> we're glad to hear that spencer is going to be up and around soon, jacob rascon, thank you. important information for anybody who flies, if you've ever sweated it out, wondering if you could fit your carry-on into the overhead bin, we've got good news, airlines are trying to make your life easier with bigger and wider bins. nbc's tom costello got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look.

he's on an alaska airlines plane this morning in seattle. >> brand new plane, never had a passenger on it. when alaska asked its passengers what are their chief complaints? among them, not enough storage for the bags that they carry on. they're doing something about it. they're adding 50% more space overhead on boeing 737 series. that's 50% more room to put the bags that you decide you're not going to check, and other airlines are lining up to do the same. two million people -- that's how many of us fly in the u.s. every single day. >> we are on a full flight today. >> please remember the overhead. >> among the top passenger a complaints? not enough overhead space to store all of our carry-on luggage. >> it should be just the suitcases up there. >> i try to carry on, but-day go out of my way to make sure i've got a bag that actually fits. >> why don't you check the bag? >> i don't want to wait, i'm in

a hurry. >> there's the expense, many airlines charge $25 per checked bag. for a family of four that can add $200 to a round-trip ticket. last year the airlines bag $3.5 million checking bags. >> we're running out of room. >> the challenge for the airlines? where to put all of those carry-ones. now the world's biggest airline maker says it has a solution. >> the 737 interior's mock-up. >> brant walton is boeing's interiors manager. this is a typical bin space today, what have you done? >> we've take thn bin, made it larger. insuring that each passenger will have room for a bag and we've created 50% more bag space. >> 50% more? >> that's right. it will hold two more bags in the same space. >> you've got six bags compared to four. >> that's correct. >> on a 737 800, the expanded bin space will increase the number of bags that can fit overhead from 118 to 178.

60 more standard-sized bags. not all bags are standard. they come in all shapes and sizes. within two years, nearly half of alaska airlines fleet will be fitted with the larger bins. >> customers told us they have a lot of anxiety whether or not they can fit their bag on that plane. by providing so much more bin space, it alleviates the anxiety for them. >> back at boeing, a simple question for the design experts -- where do you get the space to do this? >> we've lowered the bins by about two inches, which gives easier access and visibility for passengers to load and unload their bags. it also provides passengers easier reach to the lights. >> a little list head room, but a little more room on top. so boeing is going to hand over this brand-new plane to alaska airlines on monday, at least seven other airlines are talking about doing the same. retro fitting their planes or bringing new 737s with more bin space. here's the catch -- just because you get more bin space does not mean you get to bring on bigger bags, those size limitations remain the same. back to you. >> all good news, tom, we want

more leg room. we don't want to be greedy here. but can we move to the next thing? >> i'll work on that. now a check of the weather from miss dillon, who is in for al. >> we made our way out to the plaza. i like this no fence here, we're close and personal, having a fun time? >> having a great time. >> you've been smiling since i got here, i love that. let's look at the northeast, we have a couple of showers expected later today, these storms will actually produce some heavier downpours, we could see gusty winds, down through waeshz, including philadelphia. we can't rule out an isolated tornado. but it would be more of a spin-up than anything else. keep an eye on the sky. today will top out through 80 degrees through the east coast. once the cold front moves through it will have more of a fall-like feel through tomorrow as temperatures drop through the mid 60s with lower humidity. short-lived, temperatures should get back up near 70 through most good morning i'm
