good morning. breaking overnight, preparing for landfall. texas this morning bracing for tropical storm hanna. the system now intensifying, expected to come ashore as a hurricane later today, bringing high winds, dangerous storm surge, and more than a foot of rain to the texas coastline. and in the pacific, hurricane douglas is taking aim at hawaii. we are tracking both storms. new reality. coronavirus cases in the u.s. topping nearly 74,000 on friday. just shy of setting another daily record since the pandemic began. hospitals and hard-hit states filled to capacity with doctors and nurses reaching a breaking

inofficial now scrambling to figure out how to bring kids back to the classroom safely. fearing for the future. tens of millions of americans facing the loss of those weekly $600 unemployment benefits ending this weekend, with eviction freezes set to expire within days. >> a hero, because she always says that to me. but at that one time, i didn't feel that way. >> how will they move forward? >> those stories plus palace intrigue. explosive new details about what led up to harry and meghan's decision to step back from the royal family. stories of jealousy, tension, and feeling sidelined. why a new book claims the pair walked away. saturday, july 25th, 2020.

>> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with peter alexander, kristen welker, and dylan dreyer. welcome to "today" and thank you for joining us on this saturday morning. nice to be a good 6 feet away from you, but in person again on a saturday. >> indeed. great to see you, peter. dylan is enjoying some well-deserved time off this morning. as you saw there, we're going to be talking about my favorite subject, the royals. this highly anticipated book. any saturday that we get to talk about the royals, a good saturday. >> when you mentioned the royals, i thought you were talking about the kansas city royals. nice to have a distraction. pretty good to say in late july as a cubs fan that your team is still undefeated. >> it was fantastic to have baseball start up. we'll talk about all of that, but the weather is our top story this morning. and we're tracking two dangerous systems, tropical storm hanna is barreling towards the texas coastline, where it's expected to become a hurricane in a matter of hours. >> nbc meteorologist bill karins is in today for dylan with more

on that and hurricane douglas that's headed towards hawaii in the pacific. bill, good morning. these are some serious systems. >> yeah, and we need to get this onshore. hanna has been strengthening overnight. and a very large eye is trying to develop over very warm water. it has another 12 hours to intensify. we need to get this onshore so it does even less damage. we do expect it to become a hurricane later on today, most likely before the lunch hour. as it moves onshore, we have numerous concerns with any tropical system. right now, winds are at 70 miles an hour. it's heading to the west at 9 miles per hour. you can do the math. we're about 11 hours away from a landfall. it does look like the strongest winds will miss corpus christie and the houston area. it will be in between corpus christi and the brownsville region. that's a very rural area. a lot of those small cities, we have to worry about flash flooding and we have to worry about those sturges on the coast. we could see that high water as far as 3 to 5 feet from corpus

christie to port lavaca. and as far as rainfall, this is always the most deadly with any tropical landfall system. possible of isolated 12 to 18 inches for south texas. that's not just the coast we're worried about. as far as douglas goes, it was a category 4, now a category 2. this is making its closest approach from hawaii, down to honolulu, back down to the big island and we'll be seeing a weakening storm. a lot of question marks with douglas how intense and what an impact it will be in the hawaiian islands but we know for sure that hanna is moving onshore later this afternoon. >> bill, thank you. we'll check back in with you for a full forecast just moments from now. now we move on to the coronavirus, the latest there where there were more than 73,000 new cases reported on friday alone. that one-day number, the second highest ever, bringing the total cases to more than 4.1 million. more than 146,000 people have now died from covid-19 here in the u.s.

>> in an attempt to get more people to cover up, mcdonald's and bed bath and beyond are now among the growing list of businesses mandating face masks. and kansas city chiefs offensive lineman has become the first nfl player to opt out of play in the upcoming season. he's also a medical doctor, writing on twitter that he knows the nfl has agreed to significant health and safety protocols to protect players, but that he cannot allow himselves to potentially transmit the virus, simply to play the sport he loves. >> our correspondents are covering all of it this morning. we want to begin with nbc's steve patterson. he is in los angeles. steve, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the u.s. has now recorded more than a thousand cases four days in a row, as this virus continues ravaging hospitals and hot spots across the country. this morning, health officials and in hot spots around the country are bracing for the worst, calling states like california, florida, texas, and arizona the next new york.

>> we have to change our behavior now, before this virus completely muse baoves back up h the north. >> reporter: as the cases of hospitalizations spike. >> definitely makes the day-to-day difficult, as health care workers, not knowing, when is the end? >> reporter: this week, california surpassed new york in total cases and had its own highest single-day death toll back to back. in texas, hospital workers say they're at a breaking point. >> in a perfect storm, we've had six nurses die, two doctors die. four hours ago, i was putting a chest tube in a nurse i've known for 30 years and putting them on life support. >> reporter: dr. anthony fauci partially blaming the resurgence on a lackluster spring shutdown. >> we shut down 50% or so in reality, where the europeans shut down 90 plus percent. >> reporter: as cities across the country are stepping up enforcement on face coverings, issuing citations for refusing

to comply. >> i'm not paying it. it's as simple as that. i'm not paying it. >> reporter: meanwhile, with weeks to go before school starts, the cdc released guidelines on reopening, pressuring districts to provide in-person classes. their recommendations include face coverings, distancing, and hand hygiene. saying covid paces a relatively low risk to kids. still noting 64 children have died since the beginning of the pandemic and schools should stay closed if there's uncontrolled transmission. >> if it's not safe enough for gop delegates to be hundreds in the convention space, then how is it safe enough in florida for children to be hundreds in a school? >> reporter: friday, the fda authorized the first covid test for those showing no symptoms or possible exposure. the agency calling it a step toward the kind of broad screening that may help reopen schools and workplaces. >> and back to that school

reopening guidance. the cdc is encouraging students to develop an action plan if a student or a teacher gets sick, but some have been critical of that guidance, because it doesn't come with any details or example on what that plan may entail. guys, back to you. >> steve patterson for us in los angeles this morning. steve, thank you. >> now we want to bring an infectious disease physician and the medical director of the special pathogens unit at the boston university school of medicine. good morning, great to see you. we want to dive right in. this virus is far from being contained. at first, it was all about new york as the hot spot, and now we heard dr. birx say this week, there are three new yorks. a reference to cases rising in california, florida, and texas. as you see there in the graph, while new york has largely leveled off. so dr. bedelia, how do you assess where we are right now? >> well, kristen, you know, you've heard it said by dr. fauci and dr. birx in the last couple of days, this is a scary place to be. you're sort of seeing this

rolling pandemic through different parts of the country. and even with this next regional pandemic, we're seeing shortages of health care workers, of personal protective equipment, of testing. and this is a scary place to be at when we're looking a month down the road to open schools nationally and colleges, which may mean transfer of people from states that are a hot spot to states that are not seeing as much activity. we don't yet have the amount of national production of all of the equipment and everything we need. we don't have a plan for that, for what's going to happen in the fall. >> dr. behdelia, the top talker for so many parents, for families, is trying to get back to school right now. we'll ask you about schools in a second, but we want to ask you about the science fuirst. there's so much confusion right now, as it relates to children. what does the science say about how easily children can transmit this virus and how it can affect them? >> peter, the science is evolving, but we're not in a data-free zone.

we do know certain things. we know that kids under 10 don't get this disease as adults do or older children do and are less likely to transmit. but a new study from south korea shows that kids between 10 and 19 can transmit this as efficiently as adults do. we have examples from summer camps in america in arkansas and missouri and texas where you've seen outbreaks happen with kids of every age, where counselors and teachers have gotten sick. so the science is telling us that this is not a risk-free endeavor. and we need to plan for potential outbreaks, particularly in schools in highly-prevalent community transmission areas. >> yeah, planning seems to be the key word here. what is your message to teachers and to parent to help keep kids safe? >> kristen, i think the one thing we need to accept as a nation is that this is not going to be an answer that's the same across the board. it's not one size fits all, because every school is facing a different challenge right now.

some of them are facing the idea that if they open and have an outbreak, their communities may not have that same resource that hospitals do to take on another outbreak. some of them are facing the idea that they're dealing with older students, that might be more efficient in transmitting this disease. and lastly, it depends on where you are. are you a rural community or a metropolitan place? if we open too quickly and we are in cities with big class sizes, we may see, you know, potential transmission and outbreaks in public schools, that are not prepared to handle them. >> well, the focus for families all across the country is going to be on this very issue, so thank you for helping us understand, dr. behdelia, really appreciate it. great to see you. republicans are scrambling this morning to try to sort out their convention after president trump canceled the jacksonville portion of the event this week. the president's campaign team now looking to reimage the august gathering online. nbc's jeff bennett is at the white house with the latest on

that. jeff, good morning. >> hey, peter, good morning. president trump's decision to first move and then canceled the republican convention's main event in florida has his team now ration to ficing to find a location where he can deliver a speech accepting his party's nomination for a second term. and we're now learning the abrupt move by the president cost republican donor millions of dollars and some are now upset that they have nothing to show for their donation. this morning, fresh fallout over president trump's abrupt decision to scrap plans for an in-person republican national convention next month in jacksonville, florida. the president's decision to first move the convention from charlotte to jacksonville only to cancel it cost gop donors millions of dollars, according to multiple republicans familiar with the finances. republican officials say his reversal comes against the backdrop of surging coronavirus cases iny knew that i was concerned. this was the right thing to do,

given the new data on the ground that didn't exist weeks ago. >> also looming large in the discussion were memories of trump's campaign rallies in tulsa, oklahoma, which was ov overshadowed by underwomhelming crowds. the president had pressed for a full-scale convention for months and even mocked democratic rival joe biden for holding a virtual convention. nbc news has learned that republican officials are now scrambling to figure out where the president will deliver his acceptance speech. >> he hasn't decided that just yet, but we have a number of really creative, exciting options he's looking at. >> reporter: complicates all of it, the president's polling plunge, trailing joe biden, due in part to his handling of the coronavirus crisis. with cases surging and the economy reeling, the white house and congressional republicans say they've reached an agreement on another relief bill. it includes $16 billion in new funding for covid testing, $105

billion for schools, partly contin oreopening. and protectionste for lawsuits. among the sticking points, those $600/week payments. unemployment benefits set to expire this weekend. now, the trump administration wants those weekly payments to end, saying they provide a disincentive for people to find work. democrats say they want to extend those payments and they want to also include rent and mortgage assistance, as well. now, negotiations between democrats and republicans are expected next week, but lawmakers don't have much time to reach a deal, because congress is scheduled to take its month-long recess starting next week. kristen, peter? >> jeff bennett at the white house this morning. jeff, thank you. >> as jeff just mentioned, with negotiations at a standstill in congress, nearly 20 million unemployed americans are facing uncertainty as those $600 payments come to an end this week. nbc's chief business correspondent, stephanie ruhle, is here to talk about what

happens next. steph, good morning. great to see you. >> hey, steph, let's talk about this. we're now five months into this pandemic. as you know, more than 16 million americans right now are unemployed. a lot of them relying on those $600 in enhanced unemployment benefits. the last approved payments going out this weekend, so what happens to those folks when these benefits expire? >> peter, kristen, it's a very scary situation. remember, when people talk about the economic recovery, they say, this is going to be a "v." when people get back to work, everything will be fine and dandy. people can't get back to work if we're still amid this massive health crisis. the reason so many people were laid off to begin with was because of the stay-in-place orders. in order to address the health crisis, people needed to go nee. guess what, many of those businesses are still being put on hold, especially in hot spots like california, texas, florida. so for so many of those people,

they can't simply get back out there and go to work. you mentioned that the president has said, people are disincentivized to go to work because of that $600 payment. there may be some instances where this cushion is more money than people were making previously, but that's not many people. the overwhelming majority of americans getting this money, they are spending it on rent, food, necessities, everyday necessities, so people are very scared. they don't have jobs to go back to and they may be losing out on getting that money that's supporting their families. >> yeah, so many families rely on that, steph. and we could be facing a potential economic storm, because you have families struggling to put food on the table. you also have those eviction moratoriums, which are set to expire in many states, steph. we spoke to one mom in milwaukee who had just a heartbreaking message as she faces possible eviction. take a listen to what he had to sa say. >> it felt like i wasn't a good

mom. my daughter looks to me as her, as her hero, because she always says that to me. but at that one time, i just didn't feel that way. >> she's really the human face of what so many families are facing if congress can't get a deal. put this into context, steph. what does this deal, these potential payments mean? >> and she's not alone. 28 million people are at risk of losing their homes. we could see homelessness go up by the end of this summer by 45%, if those eviction moratoriums aren't addressed. this. if her kids are at a school that are going to have distanced learning and she's at risk of losing their home, where are they going to go? what are they going to do? and something very important to remember, that $600 each person is getting, in total, that's $12 billion a week. if that money is suddenly out of the economy, think of the trickle-down effect. people are pumping that money

back into the economy. that money is gone, it's going to hurt a lot of other aspects of our economy. >> all right. stephanie ruhle, thank you so much. really appreciate it. >> steph, thanks so much. it was another chaotic scene overnight in portland as federal officers again used tear gas to disperse a crowd of protesters outside the federal courthouse. on friday, a judge denied a request from the oregon attorney to place greater restrictions on tactics used by the officers. president trump recently ordered the federal agents to the city to stop demonstrators who have been protesting since george floyd's death in late may. and president trump's former attorney michael cohen, is out of jail again this morning. cohen was originally released from federal prison in may due to coronavirus concerns, but he was sent back to jail after refusing to agree to terms that banned him from publishing a tell-all book about the president. now, a judge ruled that cohen was sent back as retaliation and that his first amendment rights were violated.

he will now serve the remainder of his three-year sentence from home. our friend bill karins is back now with another look at the country's forecast. bill, it has been a scorcher for some and now we have a hurricane to deal with. >> and remember, yesterday, we were tracking three systems. we've already updated you on hanna and also on douglas. let's get into gonzalo. this one, good news with this one. this is heading into areas of the eastern caribbean. we call it the graveyard. a lot of storms die in this area because of the dry air and wind shear. and i'm happy to report that this one will also be dying and weakening, no issues whatsoever from gonzalo. today, very hot in the middle of the country, and watch out south texas as that tropical storm, likely a hurricane this afternoocoal and cloudy, especi around the coast line right now in san francisco, 57 degrees, but by the afternoon we are expecting quite a warmup, especially for inland areas. temperatures will be in the 90s today. take a look at your daytime

highs for san jose, 85 degrees, liver more 91, concord also in the 90s and we will be mostly sunny through the weekend, along with coastal clouds expected for early sunday morning. >> and peter, you mentioned it hot, 103 today it will feel like in minneapolis. >> just a punishing weekend in a lot of the country. bill, we thank you. still to come right here, baseball is back with an opening day like we have never seen, putting safety first while the league and players take a knee for social justice. e we ar

her family. >> reporter: a horrific shooting in new jersey might be part of a multi-state crime spree. investigators say roy den hollander killed a federal judge's son and critically wounded her husband at their home. den hollander was later found dead of an apparent self-inapplicaself-inflic self-inflicted gunshot. the fbi also says he is linked to the killing of another lawyer in california weeks earlier. another week of unrest in portland, as protesters and federal agents continue to clash. some launching flares and fireworks over the sealed barricades. federal agents respond with tear gas. portland police declared a port democratic mayor. tensions escalating between the u.s. and china after the white house announced the shutdown of this chinese consulate in houston. hours later, people could be seen appearing to burn documents. >> we're going to take action to

protect the american people, protect our security, our national security, and also protect our economy and jobs. >> this all comes after the justice department charged two chinese nationals in an alleged global hacking scheme, including an attempt to break into computers of firms working on a coronavirus vaccine. >> china retaliated on friday by closing the u.s. consulate in chengdu. an urgent warning from the fda about certain hand sanitizers. >> the ingredient in question, methanol, sometimes referred to as wood alcohol, a substance, it says, can be toxic when absorbed through the skin or ingested. and can be life threatening when ingested. >> this week, we hit the one-year-out milestone from the 2021 tokyo olympics. simone biles joined "today" to mark the occasion and she opened up about her experience with racism. >> it happens every day. and i feel like every black athlete or colored athlete could say that they've experienced it through their career, but we just have to keep going for

those little ones looking up to us. >> some of the week's wildest moments caught on camera. an incredible scene in the sky. a lightning strike just behind the statue of liberty stirring major storms in new york. a terrifying moment when bison charged at these people in yellowstone, national park. thankfully, this quick thinking woman played dead and the bison lost interest. she was able to get away unscathed. and a heart-stopping scene when two boys were dropped out of a burning building from a third-story window. onlookering caugm safely. amazingly, they were not hurt in the fall. and these reunions never get old. a 7-year-old who had moved across the country last year was just reunited with his best friend. his mom surprised her son during a trip back to his former hometown in south carolina. >> hey, cade! how you?! >> i never thought i would see you up here. >> carson and cade have been

best friends since they were 2 years old. >> you're never too young for a best friend. >> that's what we call happy tears in our house. still to come, the companies encouraging employees to take time off, even if. it is saturday, july 25th. here is a live look outside. a little hazy as we look over walnut creek.

thank you so much for starting this cool saturday morning with us. i'm kira klapper. we have a look at your micro climate forecast. >> good morning, kira. you're right, we are seeing for the most part a cool start. pretty soon, though, it's going to warm up, especially for inland areas. right now in san jose, a coal 57 degrees and you notice it is a little hazy. winds are calm. this afternoon we've got fog and low clouds expected around the coastline. the coastline is going to remain fairly cool for i would say the majority of the day. san francisco only expecting to top out in the 60s. meanwhile down in the south we're talking mid-80s and in through concord and livermore we will be in the 90s, as well as some parts of the north base. once we get the partly cloudy skies clear, we will see clear conditions into the afternoon, along with pleasant warming expected really for the weekend. it will be a good day to head

outdoors. >> thank you so much. well, cell phone video appears to show an officer kicking and then dragging a woman and that officer is now on leave. both the police department and the mayor are responding as the national debate over police reform continues. we want to show you the video posted to social media. it reveals the encounter that happened wednesday night. it appears to show a san jose officer kicking a woman while she's kneeling on the ground during a traffic stop. police say she was not obeying commands. you can see what happens when the video is zoomed in. she is then pinned to the ground. the other officer has his gun drawn, talking to the passenger. she is then handcuffed and dragged several feet. josh gil shot the video as he was picking up food at the mcdonald's near 101 in san jose. >> i just want justice for this woman and her family. that's the main concern. that's the main reason i videotaped it. >> in a tweet, san ly card oh

said it is deeply appalling. the police officer has been put on paid live. meanwhile, esper ran squa marin was booked on driving with a suspended license and possession of paraphernalia and resisting arrest. coming up this morning, as the economic pull of the coronavirus pandemic doesn't let up, we take a look at new numbers on bay area businesses forced to close and how many might never reopen. we will have that, plus all your top stories in the forecast coming up at 7:00. right now, back to the "today" show.

we are back on this saturday morning, july 25th, 2020. look at that, behind the haze, that is the new york city skyline. 75 sounds pretty good. it's going to heat up there a little bit later today. >> it's been a hot one all week. and we are focused on the weather this morning. we want to begin this half hour with a check of the headlines, starting with the storms impacting millions in the u.s. and the caribbean this weekend. tropical storm hanna is set to make landfall in texas later today, as a hurricane, with residents preparing for flash flooding, dangerous storm surge, and more than a food of aim at

windward islands in the caribbe caribbean. coronavirus cases are surging again this morning, as the u.s. recorded its second highest daily total ever on friday with nearly 74,000 cases. hospitals and in hard-hit states across the country are now reaching capacity, as the death toll climax to 146,000 here. it comes as the cdc is releasing new guidelines pushing schools to reopen with in-person classes and recommended face coverings, social distancing, and hand high gene. and the nfl is the latest sports league to finalize its return to play. training camps are officially set to open next week, after the football league and the player's union reached an agreement on friday. commissioner roger goodell said all issues have been addressed and there will be a full season, as scheduled. all pre-season games had already been canceled due to set for september 10th.

so many fans excited about that. >> no doubt. also this morning, the boys of summer are finally back on the diamond, offering a sense of normalcy for millions of americans. baseball becoming the first team sport to return after coronavirus shut everything down in march, but this version of the game clearly looks very different than your past opening days. nbc's sam brock is at marlin's park in miami with the very latest. sam, good morning. >> peter, kristen, good morning. behind me, show the marlin letter and cones that are directing cars to covid testing. that is the reality right now that major league baseball is returning to. excitement certainly that the sport is back. simulated crowd sounds in all 30 parks and tributes right now to our health care workers. first responders throwing out the first pitch or virtual pitch from chicago to minnesota. a national pastime returns a as a national crisis continues. >> i've got a line drive, double

play. >> braves all-star freddy freeman snagging line drives, just weeks after surviving a battle with covid-19. >> that was the scare nest night for me. i spiked to 104.5 fever. >> reporter: teams embracing masks and social distancing, all while shining a light on current social issues. >> this moment csignifies our brotherhood. >> reporter: narrated by morgan freeman, a moment honoring black lives lost, a moment inspired and written by andrew mccutchen. >> we substantiate with each other and what we're going through. >> reporter: the tampa bay rays tweeted, today is opening day, so it's a great day to arrest the killers of breonna taylor. they say cleveland, not indianas on the front, a sign of support for a name change. >> can you recall a time when baseball was socially active? >> no, baseball has never been this socially active, never.

>> reporter: a new day and age with covid also changing the sport's complexion. cardboard cutouts in the stands. academy award winners hawking hot dogs and simulated crowd noise. the coronavirus throwing curveballs as testing keeps the sport on track. so far, 84 players and 15 staff members have tested positive for an overall positivity rate well below 1%. >> the big test would be in this next week or ten days, what happens. these guys will be going on flights, in strange hotels, buses, trains. >> reporter: the yankees/nationals game on thursday night was the highest rated major league baseball game on any network without a rainout. the marlins won in philadelphia last night. they are 1-0. this is the first time they are sharing a piece of the nl east

league since july this late in the season. there is hope for marlins fans this morning. >> as a cubs fan, it's nice to say your team is undefeated late in july. appreciate that. >> reporter: you have a championship, though, so -- >> that's true. nobody is complaining. stafs long wait. >> good start to the season. i can't remember the last time identify seen john so excited is when that game started. bill karins, i'm sure you had your eyes on the tv as well to watch a little bit of the game. >> i did, i did. it should be fun. it should be fun. as yankees fan, it should be a very fun season. 60 games, who knows? anything can happen. let's get back into hanna. every tropical system is different. they all have their own complexities and own areas of concern. this one is going to make landfall, one of the least-developed sections of any portion of the u.s. coastline, the potential for laa lot of damage is lower, but the outer fringes of the storm problems. here's how it looks on radar. you can see that center.

it's trying to get what we call a classic eye. it's actually pretty large. it's those outer bounds i'll be watching closely today for our friends in houston to galveston to victoria, and maybe even as far north as san antonio. one of the wild cards with tropical systems is tornadoes. more epic tornado producers than others. as those bands come onshore, we'll get an idea of the threat later on today, but a few tornados are possible with these bands from corpus christie up to victoria and we'll have some of those storms trying to head up to the north. the other concerns out there today, the flood threat inright. 57 degrees, wind speeds are calm and overall a cool koeft line. towards the afternoon, here's what you can expect. we've got clouds lingering for the first half of the day. by the afternoon, mostly clear conditions. temperatures will be warming up, especially compared to yesterday's highs. we'll be in the mid-80s for the

south bay, upper 80s and low 90s for the interior valleys and we've got a couple of upper 80s expected up through the north bay. >> enjoy that beautiful weather today in the northeast. another heat wave coming your way the end of this weekend into next week. >> bill, thank you very much. just ahead right here, why it's important to take a break from work this summer, even if that just means staying at home. >> for try wayfair. you got this! ♪ ♪ perfect. -you're welcome. i love it. how'd you do all this? told ya! wayfair. let's talk dining tables. yes! blow it up. ♪ wayfair you've got just what i need ♪
