the swarm will start building combs that cause structural damage to the property so it's important to have professionals remove the bees as soon as you find them. >> what is he immune to bees? he doesn't have a suit on or anything. 6:14 right now. students in one north bay city will get extra sleep starting next year. how great does that sound? the board of directors in novato approved this week later start times at all schools. the first bell will ring at 8:00 a.m. for high schoolers, 8:20 for middle schoolers and 8:40 for the kids in elementary school. the superintendent says starting school later will give students extra time to sleep and then you have to be prepared to learn. >> every last minute counts in the morning, as we know. kid or adult, doesn't matter. >> wall street pleased with the tax reform proposals. >> they think the overall plan is too vague. >> reporter: we were expecting details. we got a one-page paper with a lot of white space. we'll talk about the details and

likely to give up their seats willingly. the situation with dr. dao was terrible but the ceo's reaction added to the controversy. when oscar munoz first reacted it's like he hadn't even looked at the video. lester holt will talk to munoz just ahead on the "today" show. >> primarily, if we start with the basic premises in all our policies and how we fly, putting the customer at the center of this, i think the policies will fan out and avoid issues like that. add we had in place what we've rolled out today, a couple items, the incident with dr. dao would never have happened because we would have never called law enforcement to take somebody out of a seat they paid for and were just on their way home. that's ahead on the "today" show at 7:00. all kinds of stories are popping up. this morning we're hearing about details of a delta passenger who claims he was kicked off a plane after he stood up to go to the bathroom while the plane was waiting for takeoff, despite

manipulator. said he'd do that the first day and the nuclear deal with iran number one priority he said and he said he would throw nafta in the trash. not only has he done none of these things, he takes the opposite position on many of them. a short time rag the president tweeted he had a cell phone call with leaders of mexico and canada and they convinced anymore not to withdraw from nafta, the north american free trade agreement. he tweeted "i received calls from the president of mexico and the prime minister of canada asking to renegotiate nafta rather than terminate and i agreed." we're looking over that new tax proposa proposal. it's vague, a little shorter thatt e than we expected but there's good news for you the taxpayer and me the taxpayer. standard exemptions will be bigger. the deduction on mortgage interest stays in. bad news, though, you are going to have to pay federal taxes on
