anxiously for government regulators to decide if the pfizer vaccine is safe and effective for kids age 5 to 11 an fda advisory panel set to meet in just two weeks to consider the application we'll talk to dr. richard besser, the former acting director of the cdc, also a pediatrician first, gabe gutierrez joins us with the news. gabe, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. shots for this new age group could ship out before thanksgiving a potential light at the end of the tunnel for many families ahead of the holiday season. this morning a critical decision now on the horizon not just for the fda but for the parents of more than 28 million school-age children. >> we'll be the first in line when we can be. >> reporter: an fda advisory panel will meet october 26th to consider pfizer's application for emergency use of their vaccine for children ages 5 to 11

if the panel approves, the cdc is expected to make a final decision soon after, setting up a new wave of vaccinations just before the holidays. pfizer's trial included nearly 2,300 participants ages 5 to 11 who were given two doses 21 days apart. the mini doses were ten micrograms each, a third of the already approved amount for adults pfizer's head of vaccine development telling savannah last month -- >> the level of antibody the vaccine is generating in children 5 to 11 matches the level of antibody that we know provides protection for individuals 16 years of age and older. >> reporter: the pandemic's impact on kids has been wide ranging. new research shows that nearly 130,000 children have lost a primary caregiver from covid, a disproportionate number, 65%, are racial or ethnic minorities. this year as schools began opening up, covid cases among kids skyrocketed the american academy of pediatrics counted nearly 850,000 child covid cases just in september, representing more

than one in four infections nationwide despite that, a recent survey found a third of parents of 5 to 11-year-olds say they will wait and see before vaccinating their children. >> introducing something that's so brand new is always questionable it's just something i'm going to have to do some research on. >> reporter: medical experts are urging parents to speak to their pediatricians and consider other potential upsides to the vaccine, saying it can help children stay in school without interruption, allow them to participate in their favorite activities, and see older family members. >> adding another layer of protection with vaccination just gives them more opportunities to get that development that they need. >> reporter: next week the fda advisory panel is set to discuss another crucial issue, whether to authorize moderna and johnson & johnson booster shots. savannah. >> gabe, thank you joining us now, dr. richard besser, former acting director of the cdc, a pediatrician and the president of the robert wood

johnson foundation hi, dr. besser this is so encouraging especially for those of us with kids in that age range how quickly do you think given the timeline and what you know about fda and cdc procedures could we really see kids getting those first shots? >> yeah, savannah, this is exciting news. i'm cautiously optimistic. i'm going to be watching the fda and cdc process these really closely before i make my decision about recommendation. but assuming that the fda approves this and the advisory committee at the cdc recommends it, it would be sometime in november these vaccines need to be packaged a little differently than the adult ones because as we just heard, the dose is a third of what it takes to provide the protection to an adult. and that's great you want to give as little as you need to to provide safe and effective coverage. >> but it's still a two-shot regimen, right let's say we take your timeline

and the first shot goes in early november it still would be five, six weeks before you had total protection >> yeah. that would be how long it takes for total protection, but you would start to get some protection so as families are thinking about thanksgiving, thinking about the holiday season, this could change the trajectory for some families. but really only those families where the adults have already stood up and said i want to get vaccinated and they have done so i would really encourage adults to look at those decisions if they want to have a normal thanksgiving and christmas. >> what about kids ages 2 to 5 pfizer has been looking at that as well. do you expect that data to be submitted soon as well >> i think those data will be the end of the year before we see that that's a little longer term coming you know, i'm not surprised that there's a lot of parents who want to wait and see there are those parents who want to be right in line, they're excited. they know that getting their children vaccinated will help protect them and help protect those people around those kids, so teachers and staff and

coaches and bus drivers. it will help protect relatives when they get together but for others, the idea that this is being licensed with just a few people receiving it wait and see is another option. it's important as pediatricians we meet parents where they are, we listen and ensure children have the protection they need. >> if i come in and say i've got my 6-year-old here should i get her vaccinated or should i wait and see. would you say wait and see is okay >> well, yeah, i would -- i would lay out the evidence and again, i want to make sure that the independent advisory committees to the agencies really have an opportunity to dig into the data. right now all we have is the company report i want to make sure that they're convinced this is safe and effective. but assuming that's their conclusion, i do think that this does provide good protection this is a way to go. until we have vaccines for children, we're not going to see our way fully out of this pandemic and so this will be an important

piece. but for parents who want to wait and see, i'll talk to them about other measures that they need to do to help protect their children, making sure that adults around their kids are vaccinated, that their kids are wearing masks when appropriate, doing those things that we're doing right now to keep kids in school learning safely. >> real quickly, if you have kids that are vaccinated, does that mean that those masks can come down in school settings >> well, you know, i think probably not, given that it's going to take a long time before we see full vaccination or high vaccination rates. but the virus is going to call the shots on this. thankfully we're seeing numbers going down across the country. if that continues, this winter could be a lot different than the last few months have been. >> well, let's hope. dr. besser, thanks for your time appreciate it. >> thank you now let's move to that breaking news out of washington overnight. the senate passing a bill to

extend the nation's debt limit through early december temporarily avoiding an economic crisis, but setting up yet another showdown in just a matter of weeks. nbc's senior capitol hill correspondent garrett haake has details on this. hey, garrett, good morning. >> reporter: hey, hoda, good morning. the house will vote to send this bill to the president's desk on tuesday. no drama expected there. but this is very much a temporary solution, which could mean we could be staring into another default crisis right in the lead-up to christmas >> on this vote the ayes are 50, the nays are 48. >> reporter: overnight on capitol hill, a debt debacle deferred senators passing a bill to lift the debt ceiling by $480 billion. the temporary move buying lawmakers nearly two months to come up with a longer term solution before the next default deadline in early december >> what is needed now is a

long-term solution so we don't go through this risky drama every few months. >> reporter: the short-term solution proposed by republican leader mitch mcconnell breaks an impasse between the parties, with gop senators dropping for now their demands that democrats raise the nation's borrowing limit on their own through a lengthy process. >> the majority didn't have a plan to prevent default so we stepped forward. >> reporter: some republicans criticizing their party leader's decision. >> i believe democratic leader schumer was on the verge of surrendering and then, unfortunately, yesterday republicans blinked. >> reporter: while democrats declared a momentary victory. >> look, mcconnell blinked. >> but are we having this entire conversation all over again in december >> yep. >> reporter: the debt limit acts like the nation' credit card limit, just set over $28 trillion if our debts exceed that number, the country defaults experts say stocks would tumble, mortgage and credit card rates would rise, and the government wouldn't be able to send out food stamps, tax credits or pay

the military that risk now delayed until december, but not dismissed entirely >> we voted. we've averted the fiscal cliff, at least for now. >> what does it say about the way we run our government if we're going to lurch from month to month on funding it, on keeping the debt manageable? >> this country was founded by geniuses, but it's being run by idiots >> all right, garrett, so we've seen the divisions among democrats, those are clear, and now we're starting to see the same among republicans so how big of a rift may this cause in the gop >> reporter: yeah, this decision to back down here really did divide republicans you saw ted cruz, republican senator lindsey graham, some of the loudest critics of mitch mcconnell, their own party leader also former president trump has been loudly and repeatedly criticizing mcconnell's strategy in all of this all of this just ratchets up the pressure and probably makes coming up with a longer term solution in december that much more difficult >> garrett haake for us on the hill thank you. we're going to stay in washington as craig joins us we turn to another story there.

>> good morning to you new developments this morning in the congressional investigation looking into the january 6th insurrection at the capitol. former aides to then president trump ignoring house subpoenas at the direction of the former president himself. nbc's senior washington correspondent hallie jackson joins us now with more on all of this hallie, good morning. >> reporter: hey, craig, good morning to you those aides apparently blowing past a deadline to comply with a congressional subpoena, suggesting a long legal battle ahead for the committee investigating what happened on january 6th. and it comes as a new senate report details how in the days just before that riot, the former president escalated his pressure campaign on the department of justice to try to undermine the legitimate result of the election. new signals this morning that

former president trump will stay defiant, as congress investigates the lead-up to the january 6th capitol riot, indicating he'll exert his executive privilege to avoid investigators' requests. four key trump administration officials ignoring a subpoena deadline from the congressional committee investigating the riot nbc news confirming reports the former president directed them to disregard the demand for documents. a trump spokesperson telling nbc those lawmakers have put forth an outrageously broad records request that lacks both legal precedent and legislative mandate. now new details on the extraordinary lengths donald trump went to in the days before the riot to try and undermine the 2020 election. >> and they're not taking this

white house, we're going to fight like hell. >> reporter: a senate report detailing nine times the then president pressured top justice department officials to overturn president biden's legitimate victory, describing near daily outreach to the doj and a bombshell meeting on january 3rd. that's when the report says former president trump threatened to replace the acting attorney general with a loyalist, who would help mr. trump try to prove the election was stolen, even though it was not. but top doj officials warned of mass resignations if that happened the white house counsel said he would step down too, reportedly calling mr. trump's plan a murder-suicide pact. >> we are a half step away from a constitutional crisis. >> reporter: those details in a report titled subdiverting justice, describing mr. trump's conduct as relentless. but republicans on that committee say his actions were consistent with his responsibilities as president to faithfully execute the law, arguing he did not weaponize doj for his personal or campaign purposes one top republican pointing out in the end mr. trump did not ultimately replace his acting attorney general >> the president did the right thing. if he had made another decision, you would have had a problem. >> reporter: as for that january 6 select committee, they have also just issued a new round of subpoenas requesting information

from the organizers of a pro-trump rally at the capitol that day craig. >> our senior washington correspondent hallie jackson for us. we have a lot more to get to including our first check of the weather. >> happy friday to everybody we've got some soggy weather to talk about especially down south, but it will make its way up the coast we've got 9 million people under flash flood watches and warnings this is all part of a system that's developing off the coast. so we've got this front producing more heavy rain in the southeast. there's this little area that the national hurricane center has been watching. we don't think it's going to develop into a tropical system, but these two systems will merge and that's going to bring in gusty winds and a lot of heavy rain for the eastern carolinas but this system will then also start to spin up a lot of wet weather. that coastal low will ride north, the mid-atlantic bringing heavy rain expanding into the northeast over the weekend so we look for wet weather from florida all the way into the mid-atlantic states and that rain extends up into the northeast.

now, depending on how far up that low gets we may see heavier rain further up to the north that's what's going on we'll get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. >> and that is your latest weather. texted the next day? same guy. is that even legal? and get this - he remembered my name. of course. hey, blink twice if you're in danger. whoa, guys. at state farm, we actually get to know you. it's called service. come on! like a good neighbor, state farm is there. good morning. i am meteorologist, kari hall. we are going to reach in the mid-60s today. it will be cooler than normal with breezy winds. we will start out with clouds and get afternoon sunshine. through the weekend we will see upper 70s for the inland areas. next week we keep milder weather

helping authorities in the search for his son law enforcement officials returned yesterday to the sprawling florida wildlife refuge where much of that search had been focused the laundrie family attorney said chris laundrie joined authorities to show them where his son's favorite trails and spots were brian laundrie is wanted for questioning in the disappearance of his fiancee, gabby petito, whose remains were found last month. a submarine struck an unknown object in the south china sea. it happened last saturday but was not publicly disclosed until yesterday for security reasons navy officials say it's not clear what the uss connecticut hit but it was not another submarine. nearly a dozen sailors were hurt but they're expected to be okay. the submarine remains fully operational. damage is still being assessed. we're going to turn to the nfl now and a wild game thursday night between the seahawks and the rams but the wildest moment didn't happen on the field.

take a look. this is the seahawks mascot. he got loose at one point and he lands on a fan's head and appears to claw him. >> oh, geez. >> at this point not clear if the man was hurt he seemed to be okay in fact you can see him smile at one point. stuck around for the game. as for that game itself, have you ever seen two punts on one play, ladies >> no. >> here you go the rams blocked the first punt. so the seattle punter picks it up and kicks it again. >> is that allowed >> apparently, s.g., it is totally legal. >> and a great punt at that. >> i've never seen it before the rams would go on to win that game 26-17. >> they should name the double punt after him. >> they should you pulled a dixon. all right, guys, if you are thinking about flying to see your family or friends during the holidays, experts say you've got to start planning right now. >> and you should also put away a little extra money to spend on that trip. prices are going up.

anne thompson is at new york's laguardia airport with all about the early start to the holiday rush hi, anne, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah you know after two years of having travel plans sidelined by covid, americans are ready to fly, and many are already researching and reserving that perfect holiday getaway, a getaway that will be more crowded and more expensive americans want to travel like it's 2019 again. >> the number of folks who are excited to get out on an airplane right now and for the holidays is really rebounding quickly. >> reporter: thanksgiving week bookings are 35% higher than the same time before the pandemic. and december is ramping up to be a big month too. after many people skipped celebrating the holidays with family last year due to covid. >> i will be spending christmas with my family i encourage people, particularly the vaccinated people who are protected to have a good normal christmas with your family. >> reporter: united plans to offer 3,500 flights a day in

december, the most since covid grounded the travel industry the airline focusing on adding flights to sun and ski destinations think florida, las vegas and colorado, especially from airports in the midwest. why? it's seeing a 16% jump in searches for holiday travel compared to two years ago. more demand in many places will mean less availability and higher prices. the short-term rental company reports the average nightly rate is up from $332 in 2019 to almost $600 now. nightly rate is up from $332 in 2019 to almost airfares are soaring too >> i would expect fuller planes as we move forward into the holiday season and i would expect the availability of cheap flights for this holiday season to really start to dissipate quickly. >> reporter: travel website hopper says price hikes will be scary if you're booking after halloween. up to 40%, with the average

round-trip ticket landing at $400 wait until the last minute and you could pay another 25% on top of that. as for vaccinations, most major airlines require their employees to be vaccinated but there is no such mandate for air travelers. thursday, dr. ashish jha told hoda and savannah he would like to see one. >> there's still a lot of unvaccinated people. i think if we want to get back to normal it's going to make a big difference. >> reporter: industry experts say travelers need to be flexible about their dates and destinations this year book rental cars now and be prepared for crowds. >> so besides being flexible, what are some other tips people should keep in mind while they're booking their holiday travel >> reporter: first of all, savannah, you want to check those refund policies on your hotels and your airfares you want to look for the customer-friendly ones and avoid

nonrefundable tickets. also consider getting cancel my travel for any reason insurance. and then here's something that's really kind of counterintuitive. consider traveling internationally during thanksgiving week, because that's when those planes are much less crowded and fares could go down because the rest of us are all thinking about traveling domestically but of course you have to keep in mind the vaccination and covid restrictions when you travel abroad. >> interesting thought don't go to grandma's house, sends her a postcard from paris. anne, thank you. >> reporter: exactly coming up next, kerry sanders on the surprising ways climate change is taking a toll on the moose of maine. and for an up-close look, kerry even found himself imitating their calls. damn good, kerry damn good. >> but first, these messages ris!

wide. >> mother nature in all her glory takes your breath away. >> reporter: in what may sound counterintuitive to save the moose, state biologists say some must be sacrificed to hunters. the theory, with fewer moose the ticks will die it's believed then a healthy moose population can rebuild state biologists say it will take about five years to see if what they're doing helps so that the next time somebody does this, we'll actually see some moose. guys. >> all right, kerry. >> i think that was awesome. >> wow. >> okay. >> it doesn't sound like it. it sounds like a goat. >> a duck in distress. >> i think i'm going down by the elks club, see what i can see. anyway, let's show you what's happening. unfortunately we're still talking about this oil spill off the california coast, and we've got rain that's helping to disperse it, unfortunately

no one does it like roker. coming up next, a cautionary tale yes, a cautionary tale before renting a house for your next vacation. >> vicky nguyen will be along and she'll tell us about a guy who arrived to his home to find it looked nothing like the pictures online. what to do if that happens to you. first, this is "today" on nbc. >> yeah! that's what i'm talking about. i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv. more love, more adventure, more community. but with my hiv treatment, there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor and switched to fewer medicines with dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. with just 2 medicines in 1 pill, dovato is as effective as a 3-drug regimen...

to help you reach and stay undetectable. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor, as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety.

so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. ask your doctor about dovato-i did. ♪♪ welcome back. this morning on "today," consumer warning about home rentals. >> yeah, companies like airbnb and vrbo are more popular than ever. what happens when you show up and the place is nothing like the photos in the listing or even worse, it's potentially dangerous. nbc's vicky nguyen is here with what you need to know before you book that next. these things are wildly popular. >> everybody wanted a getaway too during the pandemic. so good morning.

can you actually trust what you see in an online listing for a rental? with thousands of people now relying on photos for peer-to-peer rental sites like vrbo and airbnb, it can be a real problem for vacation goers who show up and find their dream getaway is a real nightmare. how to spot red flags before you spend your hard-earned money and precious time on a place you'd never want to stay. the modern living room, the updated kitchen, the pool. the pictures on vrbo caught the eye of james who wanted to plan a special vacation after hunkering down for more than a year. >> i was definitely excited. >> reporter: he paid nearly $17,000 to rent the home in new jersey. >> the pictures online looked so good. the pool is vibrant blue. it just looked like such a nice spot. >> reporter: but when he arrived at the house -- >> it just didn't feel right. you look at the listing, this isn't the same. >> reporter: here's a picture of the living room in the listing. and here i am in the actual

living room. it looks a little different. you don't notice it? take a closer look. here's what the room actually looks like and here's the photo from the listing. the floor, rug, furniture, mirror, fixtures, blinds, even the wall all are different. and it's not just one photo. the owner posted five angles of the living room, all beautifully lit with modern furniture that's nowhere to be found in the actual home. james believes the photos were digitally altered. >> it looks like a rendering. there's not even a guitar in this house so why is it even in the photo? >> reporter: and in the kitchen? >> that's the most photo shopped. it's a different fridge. why would someone change the fridge. >> reporter: but the pictures are so convincing, even an expert from photo verification company true pic couldn't tell whether they had been altered. virtually everything you see in this picture is different in the actual home. yet, would you say this looks pretty realistic? >> absolutely. i thought this was actually the

real photos ait stood. >> reporter: james says at first he thought he could live with the mismatch but not when he got outside. remember this crystal blue pool? i cannot believe this is the same pool as the pictures. >> i know, right? not even the same color. >> this is really pretty gross. >> it's horrific. >> look at the walls. >> i know. >> what is that? >> reporter: he says he wasn't just worried about the water, but also the safety of the structure. >> imagine trying to climb out with this. if you put any weight under this, you'll fall back in. >> reporter: to top it off, james couldn't shake the overall smell inside, especially down in the basement, where it hit me too. >> what is that smell? >> it's a dampness, it's a mold, it's horrific. >> reporter: to be sure he hired an expert who found that mold levels inside were two times higher than outside. >> does this house have a mold problem? >> yes, it does. >> reporter: james says he sent all of this information to the

homeowner but he refused to offer a refund, emailing i've had guests stay here for years and never had anyone complain about the home, adding the pool was clean the day before they checked in. the homeowner sent us this video of the pool he says he took the day before james checked in, but he didn't address any of the other complaints. and take a look at this, the house was also for rent on airbnb. so how do you avoid a nightmare like this? first, check the reviews for the listing. in this case we found the house appears to have just three short generic reviews. two with odd timing from august 2021, which appear to overlap with james' booking. sort the reviews by date so you can see the most recent first. that will give you the best idea of the property's current condition. always look at the listing photos on the largest screen you can, not just your phone. upon closer inspection these photos of the living room all appear to be altered, but this one has noticeable differences, like the windowsills, flooring,

furniture and this tv, which doesn't appear in any of the other photos. that can be a red flag. as for james -- >> you're still paying for this? >> i'm still paying for this place, yeah. >> man. >> come on. >> seriously. thankfully after we conducted vrbo about james' experience, the company said it didn't want anyone to have a negative experience. vrbo reviewed the details and decided to issue a full refund, but that home is still for renting on vrbo. airbnb did remove it. >> still with those same pictures? >> everything is the same. >> but the mold is extra. >> is there any way the companies can filter out photos that have been photo shopped? >> that expert that we talked to from truepic said it's impossible to tell after the fact if a photo has been doctored. they offer a service that essentially verifies photos at the point they're taken. you take the picture in the app, it gets time stamped and given a verification seal of approval so you know it hasn't been altered, but most people aren't using that app so you don't know. i would say if you show up and

you have this situation happen, contact the homeowner and the rental company right away and document every conversation so it proves you took immediate action. >> do they have a refund policy in general? >> they do and they said in this case because james left the property and went back to his apartment, which you can sort of understand why, that he didn't give them a chance to rectify the problem. obviously it would have taken a long time. >> maybe scummy people should stop trying to take advantage of other people. >> there's that. >> sounds good. coming up, chassis post shows you where to find the fashion trends, including a sht for men
