russia and ukraine. hanging in the balance. with four weeks to go, the race to the midterms is heating up. early voting in some states getting underway. straight ahead we will break down the key races to watch from coast to coast. alarming hacks. u.s. airports, including two of the nation's largest, targeted in a coordinated cyberattack. this morning the russian group now claiming responsibility and the growing concern that more from banks to hospitals could be on the way. in the nick of time. a life-saving rescue off the louisiana coast caught on camera. the crew of a sunken fishing boat pulled to safety after floating in the gulf and fighting off sharks for more than 24 hours. >> we actually were able to recover one of the life jackets that had been eaten through by a shark. >> inside their harrowing ordeal and the miracle that led the coast guard to them.

that off. >> this dynamic duo connected four times, it made a difference. it was a nail biter though. >> they put on a show. >> let's get right to our top story. cities across ukraine facing grim aftermath of russia's newest missile assault. >> nearly 100 missiles fired into that country over the past 24 hours, new attacks overnight. one kyiv resident telling nbc news the bombings were scary. it felt like february 24th, referring to the day vladimir putin first launched russia's full scale invasion. >> this new wave of brutal violence damaging infrastructure, it's causing rolling blackouts as the war escalates and the cold winter months approach. we've got it covered for you from moscow to kyiv. nbc's cal perry is right there. tell us about what you're seeing on the ground there. >> reporter: good morning. this is a city that is weary after a night of air raid sigh rounds and rockets shot out of the sky above kyiv. not all cities so lucky. zaporizhzhia taking 12 rocket

hits, one person dead there. in the western part of the country, the city of lviv is without power. this city is surveying the damage, hoda. we are here at the site where one of the rockets landed. you can see the damage is extensive. it is a miracle that no one was killed because this was a park full of people and on top of that this is a popular playground for children in the kyiv area. we have been here all morning, hoda. we have been watching as children come to this site asking to take selfies of the playground they used to enjoy before the rockets hit. it is incredibly difficult to watch. >> it is difficult to watch. speaking of young kids, there is a heartbreaking video that went viral. a young girl was taking a video of herself. she was walking through kyiv, and she was nearly hit by a rocket. let's take a look at it. >> that is just so heartbreaking to watch i can't imagine that captured on

video, how many of those scenes are playing out across ukraine >> reporter: and it is what so many people felt yesterday morning. whether you are targeting a civilian population or hitting it, it's a distinction without a difference take a look at this, we wanted to show you this was a park bench yesterday morning, and you can tell when civilians come and they see this, how terrifying it can be, hoda >> horrible. cal perry for us there in kyiv thank you so much. >> how is this new aggression from vladimir putin being received in russia nbc's chief international correspondent keir simmons is in moscow for us. good morning >> reporter: good morning to you. western officials are describing russia's latest onslaught on ukraine as desperate that of course is not the message from the kremlin this morning. this is the front page of russia's government newspaper with a picture of vladimir putin and the headline, no one should have any doubts. this morning more attacks following what president putin called his massive strike across

ukraine yesterday, potentially marking a new escalation in the conflict with his retaliation for the attack on his prized crimea bridge, russian leader responding to internal pressure to hit back. the dramatic attacks on civilian centers signaling an uptick in violence as russia aims to turn the tide after military setbacks the u.s. concerned president biden speaking with president zelenskyy, pledging to provide support, including air systems. today president putin will meet with the head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog traveling to russia after meeting with president zelenskyy, trying to negotiate a demilitarized zone around a nuclear power station while president zelenskyy is set to speak at an emergency meeting of the g-7 on the agenda, is this a new phase in russia's offensive? russia is drafting 300,000 men at mobilization station 100 miles outside moscow, this man says he is sending his 22-year-old grandson to fight.

i feel positive, he says this woman's husband and father to her child is leaving. she says, i have an emptiness inside russia's newly appointed commander of its ukraine operation has a ruthless reputation he was on the ground in syria when aleppo was leveled. the hard-liners around president increasingly vocal, like chechen warlord who posted video of his sons firing automatic weapons and rocket launches saying he was sending them to fight in ukraine. this morning we met 61-year-old alexander, a moscow businessman driving a cab for now. he says he has met young people fleeing the country and men going to fight >> for some of the reason, for reasons fleeing the country, someone staying. >> reporter: he says he even took a pregnant wife around moscow buying clothes for her husband on the front line. >> yes, because she loves her

husband and she wants to get him the best >> so, keir, for the past couple of days we have been watching this escalation. putin's escalation is that sustainable going forward? >> reporter: well, that is the question being loudly asked in the west, hoda but not here since the beginning of this conflict i have asked russian government officials what do you do if russia's strategy doesn't work they didn't have an answer in february and don't seem to have an answer now. we have heard from the russian foreign ministry in the past hour, sergey lavrov, asked about negotiations, he says the u.s. says it's open to negotiations with russia but this is a lie. we haven't received any serious offers of contact. >> keir simmons for us there in moscow thank you. we turn to the high stakes midterms election day exactly four weeks away and the balance of power on capitol hill is at stake there are key races to watch from coast to coast. nbc national political correspondent steve kornacki is here along with the big four to show us where things stand.

let's set the table first. four weeks out from election day. nothing less than control of congress from both houses is on the ballot >> democrats come into this with control of both chambers but barely >> take a look at this, 50/50 in the senate remember kamala harris as the vice president breaks the tie for the democrats right now. on the house side the democrats, this is their majority, 222-213. it means the republicans if they can just pick up five seats in the house, republicans would flip it and would have control of it. >> let's talk about the president's approval rating. usually in a midterm election the party in the white house loses seats. what does the approval rating tell us about this >> this is where democrats i think are in some of their biggest trouble. take a look at this, this is the average of all the polls out there right now. joe biden's approval rating 42.9%. the recent presidents who took a drubbing in midterm elections, barack obama, donald trump, go back to bill clinton, their numbers looked just like this. that's the trouble sign for democrats. what's not tracking with that,

it's interesting, this is the generic ballot we ask folks do you want the republicans, the democrats to control congress republicans lead on this you can see that's less than one point. that's a 0.9% lead for republicans. in the past, you'd expect that to be higher a little bit of uncertainty there. >> you expect that to be more of a difference there talk about some of the issues because perhaps that is the explanation, what is animating these races? you can see two areas where the republican advantage really comes from this is our nbc poll we asked folks what's the most important issue to you you can kind of merge these two, jobs, economy, inflation if you add them together, that's 34%. basically a third of the electorate says that's the top issue, inflation, economy for them republicans have an advantage combined on those two of nearly 30 points over the democrats republicans also with a nearly 30 point advantage on crime. you see republicans running ads on crime all over the country. what's keeping democrats in it

borks, abortion, only 8% cite abortion as that supreme court issue. and this up here, threats to democracy, democrats have been trying to make donald trump, january 6th the front and center issue. folks who cite threats to democracy overwhelmingly democratic as well. >> we mentioned control of congress is at stake here. it could come down to just a handful of key races that make that decision. >> the senate race, a 50/50 in republicans needing a net gain of one seat. this right here on paper is the republicans's best chance, at the senate, this is nevada, a adam laxalt challenging the incu incumbent. this is the only race where the republican challenger is leading. if the republicans get nevada, that could be that net gain of one seat that they need. but there is also a republican-held seat, pennsylvania, pat toomey is a republican, he's not running for re-election, but it's a republican-held seat, and the democrats right now the only republican held seats that

democrats lead, john fetterman leading mehmet oz. a chance for democrats to make inroads there. the most interesting and uncertain race, it's down in georgia. raphael warnock was elected two years ago, herschel walker, all sorts of controversy around walker warnock leading in the poll. in georgia there is a runoff rule there is a third-party candidate and if nobody gets 50%, it goes to a runoff. in december we could be just like we were two years ago waiting on a georgia runoff to tell us who controls the senate. >> we have seen that movie before thank you very much. also this morning, we are learning more about an alarming rise in cyberattacks targeting key u.s. institutions. the latest happened yesterday when more than a dozen websites for major airports, including l.a.x. and atlanta's hartsfield jackson were temporarily knocked offline. pro-russian hackers claiming responsibility nbc's technology correspondent jacob ward joins us. it sounds kind of scary. how significant were the attacks?

>> reporter: the good news and the bad news is basically that in this case the good news is essentially this was an annoyance more than anything really fundamental the more than a dozen airports that you mentioned were simply overwhelmed by traffic to their public-facing websites they did not get inside things like air traffic control systems or scheduling systems that would have brought an airport to its knees. also only a very small number of airports were affected all told. this one oakland international was not among those affected here's the bad news. the bad news is this is an increase in hostilities we are seeing here. it seems to be coming from pro-kremlin hackers whose point here seems to be to try to inflict pain or annoyance on countries that have been supportive of ukraine. today they shut down a set of websites tomorrow it could be something more sinister. >> yeah, i mean, that's something needs to be done but the question is how do you prevent these kinds of attacks >> reporter: well, we know at this point that the cyber agency

that coordinates the response says they are looking into this and assisting. the department of transportation did not offer comment on this particular case. at this point it's a reminder that we are only as well protected as the least protected parts of our essential infrastructure we have seen in recent weeks schools and regional hospitals fall prey to ransomware attacks. those are much more serious kinds of attacks but airports fortunately seem to have buttoned up a pretty good i.t. protocol. it's just a reminder again that we are only as well-protected as the least protected nodes. hopefully, essential infrastructure does not come under attack from something more sinister down the line >> thank you, jake. affected and things like that, but again those websites craig joins us good morning. >> good morning. jamie dimon, the chief executive of jpmorgan chase, america's largest bank, is warning that the united states could go into a recession next year. in an interview with cnbc he

said the economy is still doing well, but that is likely to change in the coming months. >> you can't talk about the economy without talking about the stuff in the future. and this is serious stuff, okay? this is inflation which, obviously, is, changing -- it's rates going up more than people expected already and it's the war. these are very, very serious things which i think are likely to push the u.s. and the world, i mean, europe is already in a recession, likely to put the u.s. in some kind of recession six, nine months from now. >> dimon went on to say he is not sure how long that recession might last saying it could be anywhere from very mild to quite hard to the nfl that dramatic comeback on monday night football kansas city down by 17 points to las vegas in the first half, but the chiefs, they came storming back >> from the one. mahomes, end zone. he's got another four on the night.

travis kelce yet again. >> mahomes and kelce four times. last night they connected. that put the chiefs ahead with about seven minutes to go, and they would hold on to win it, 30-29. >> if you are rooting for a good game, i mean, coming down to the wire, incredible. >> that was joe buck, by the way. >> he was so pumped. he sounded like joe buck. let's get our first check of the weather. mr. roker, good morning. >> did dell stay up the whole time to watch it >> no, no, that would have been way too late he saw the first quarter though. >> all right let's show you what we have going on if you got out this weekend to look at the fall foliage, it was spectacular. it's so bright, you can see it from space this is new england. you can see those oranges right there and the maroon colors, and you move into the midwest as well from chicago to green bay to marquette, all beautiful weather. one of the things that helps bring out the colors, the cold morning temperatures frost and freeze advisories from
