hi, everyone. i'm kate snow. >> and i'm zinhle essamuah. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, wednesday, may 17th, breaking news, royal pursuit. prince harry and meghan followed by a group of photographers in new york city. the conflicting accounts of what

happened and how the nypd is responding. the largest book public blurb fighting back. the impact the new lawsuit could have on schools across the country. bource battle. a federal appeals court hearing arguments about a widely used abortion pill. what a decision could mean for the future of abortion in america. and talking the talk. how parents feel about how their kids are learning about sex. >> welcome. we begin with that breaking news. an incident prince harry and meghan markle's representative calls a relentless pursuit. >> that's right. the representative says the couple was chased by paparazzi for more than two hours after leaving an awards show calling it all near catastrophic. the statement from the new york police department puts it differently saying photographers made their trip challenging, but that, quote, the duke and duchess of sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summons, injuries or arrest. >> ron allen in new york city outside the theater where that

awards show was held last night. there seemed to be differences in the accounts. what do we know about what happened last night? >> reporter: well, the difference seems to be between words like chased or followed. what we do know is that the couple were here so zig feld theater in new york and left around 10:00 after a charity event. she, meghan markle, was given award. there were photographers outside waiting for them and tried to follow them as they left. they were trying to go to a residence somewhere about a mile or two from here. then what unfolds takes about an hour or more depending upon which account you believe. it sounds like the police, a police car, nypd, was leading their car through the city, trying to eliminate anybody from following them to see where they were going. that takes a while. they're driving up and down a major highway here and eventually they end up at a police precinct and at that point, apparently the police block off some of the streets and the couple is able to get

into a taxi and from there, they go to the residence without incident, the police say, but however, this was all apparently very upsetting to harry, especially, because it harkened so much back to the death of his mother, princess diana, back in 1997 when she was killed in a car crash after she and her companion dodi al fayed left a restaurant, hotel and were chased by paparazzi through the streets of paris. a--speed chase, 70, 80 miles per hour in the streets and crashed in a tunnel but it's the paparazzi who were blamed for that. and harry has said this is one thing he's tried to avoid by moving here to the united states. he has said he's very worried about the safety and security and privacy of his family and himself and that's why one of the big reasons they came here. so obviously or apparently this incident just harkens all that -- all that and was very upsetting for him as well. >> ron, you touched on harry's security concerns. obviously he lost the protection

that came with being a royal when he stepped away, so have we heard anything from the palace on this? >> reporter: no, not at all. they are -- seem to be very separate from the palace these days, and, no, they have not said anything and have not heard any further clarification of what happened from harry's camp either but, again, whatever happened, it was obviously very upsetting to them and the nypd are, again, trying to put this in some perspective and say it wasn't a chase, it wasn't a chaotic situation. and things were under control by their account of it. >> all right, ron allen, thank you so much. real signs of progress in washington as president biden and congressional leaders try to stave off a debt ceiling disaster. top leaders from both parties met for an hour tuesday night in the oval office. house speaker kevin mccarthy now says it's possible a deal could be reached by the end of this week. here's what president biden said about the talks earlier today.

>> this negotiation is about the outlines of what the budget will look like, not about whether or not we're going to, in fact, pay our debts. the leaders all agree we will not default. america is not a deadbeat nation. we pay our bills. the nation has never defaulted on its debt, and it never will. >> president biden right now on is his way to hiroshima, japan, for the upcoming g7 summit. our mike memoli is there ahead of his arrival. they've got it down to a few people in the room, it sounds like now. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. what we saw from the president this morning was an effort before he makes that very long journey here to japan to leave washington on a somewhat optimistic note saying as he put it that all the leaders came to the negotiation yesterday in good faith. he said there was agreement that we're not going to default he said in part because there's no alternative. one thing we heard from speaker kevin mccarthy is that the shape of these negotiations has

improved. what he means both the speaker and president biden have delegated and empowered a team on both sides to enter into much more substantive detailed negotiations while the president is overseas. the speaker appointing representative garrett graves of louisiana, one of his closest allies in that rambunctious conference as well as his own staff to meet across the table from steve ricchetti, one of the longest serving lieutenants and louisa terrell as well as shalanda young. an interesting player introduced at a late stage, director of management and budget and worked for more than a decade in the trenches on capitol hill as a staffer on the appropriations committee and she more so than the other two biden appointed officials has good relationships on the staff level with republicans on capitol hill. we saw for the first two years of the biden administration it was really primarily biden's team negotiation or negotiating among democrats. that's what led both sides to say there is ang improved

climate. the other significant development, of course, is the fact that the president making his way here to asia has cut the trip short. what was supposed to be a more than week-long journey, three countries, japan as well as papua new guinea and australia limited to just japan and the president will return to washington on sunday. he's going to be closely monitoring the developments from his aides. the president is president wherever he'll go. wherever he goes so he'll continue to get updates from his staff while traveling here. one job will be reassuring our partners, our closest democratic allies in the region the u.s. can be counted on, that he can be counted on to deliver on a deal as jake sullivan, the national security adviser said, that will be his message he intends to get a deal done. that's why he's leaving to make sure that he gets that done, kate. >> all right, mike memoli in japan for us, thank you. new restrictions on abortion rights in one state are setting off alarm bells for people who favor abortion rights across the south and beyond. north carolina republicans just passed through the state's

biggest cuts to abortion access in decades. so here is what is changing and how it went down. north carolina is now banning most abortions after 12 weeks, that's instead of the previous restriction of 20 weeks. the bill does include exceptions for rape and incest. it was introduced earlier this month and passed both in the statehouse and senate in just 48 hours and the state's democratic governor did veto it but because republicans have a supermajority, they overrode the veto just last night. here's nbc's stephanie gosk. >> reporter: one of the remaining southern states to allow abortions tightens restrictions late protests after the state banned the procedure after 12 weeks. the democratic governor roy cooper vetoed the new ban and went on the road trying to persuade others to join his side but a united republican party voted to override him. >> family values conservative

people in the state. >> reporter: it's a compromise since according to the cdc over 90% of abortions take place before 20 weeks and it allows for cases of rape, incest and health of the mother. but it includes more restrictions for those seeking abortions like mandated doctors' visits and more regulations for clinic. >> with all the restrictions it's going to really limit access to abortion. >> reporter: governor cooper saying overnight, quote, several republican lawmakers broke their promises to protect women's reproductive freedom. it's all part of the changing landscape for abortion access across the country since the supreme court overturned roe versus wade last year, as many southern and some midwestern states have banned abortions entirely or under six weeks. north carolina was one of the only southern states with lighter restrictions. after the roe decision it had an increase in the number of abortions providing suggesting women from other states travel there had according to a nonprofit that supports abortion access. >> this is about making sure

politicians stay out of my family decisions and my doctor's offices. >> reporter: as two other states are considering changes this week. south carolina locked in a fight over banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy and overnight republicans in nebraska moved the 12-week abortion ban forward. >> stephanie gosk reporting there. some dramatic out of northern italy, heavy rain and flooding killed at least eight people. thousands including americans have been evacuated during the severe storms. you can see people being rescued from the roofs via helicopter. one top official in italy says some areas received half of their annual rainfall in just 36 hours. >> just incredible. hope people stay safe. google is clearing out inactive accounts and tesla is set to run its first ever advertisements. >> morgan brennan joins us with cnbc's "money minute." hi, morgan. >> reporter: hi. yourening ache tiff google account may go away as soon as

the company looks to provide security threats. they said it will start deleting they accounts that have not been used or signed into for at least two years and it will begin in december. a few months to figure it out. deleted accounts will also lose their access to google docs, photos, even youtube. elon musk meanwhile said the company will begin running advertisements for the first time. musk was asked during tesla's annual shareholder meeting and said the electric vehiclemaker may try a little advertising and then in an interview with cnbc after the meeting, he said he was unsure what the ads would look like but something he is willing to pursue. and kraft heinz is unveiling a sauce dispenser with 200 condiment combos and will live in restaurants and give customers the ability to make a customized sauce with whatever spice or sweetness level they want. think mango ketchup or jalapeno ranch or i don't know if you're

welcome back. we've been reporting on what's happening in school boards removing books from school libraries. >> a major publishing company is pushing back on that. penguin random house along with several other plaintiffs filed a federal lawsuit against a school district in florida accusing them of unconstitutionally restricting and banning books. nbc news correspondent antonia hylton joins us now. >> so, antonia, first off, what specifically is the lawsuit arguing here? >> the lawsuit is arguing that this school district has violated the first amendment age 14th amendment, equal protection clause and allege this district at times removed books without

following their own policies and that they've targeted books that involve the stories of people of color and lgbtq children and so what they're asking for is that this school district and similar school districts, their hope across florida or maybe around the country, will put some of these books back onto the shelves and some authors have spoken out saying they wrote them to give kids of different racial family backgrounds a sense of who they are on the bookshelves in the classrooms that they have access to. and part of the argument, of course, as a public school they should have access to things that reflect what the public looks like. the school board is not commenting on this lawsuit that was filed this morning, but i was able to reach one of the school board members by phone and he told me he was surprised that this is happening to his school district because this kind of book removal process is happening all over florida right now and that they're gotten the message this is what the state, the desantis administration wants them to do. >> what is the argument on that side from the people who are --

i sort of know the answer because i've done some reporting too but there is a vocal group who really strongly believe that certain books are not appropriate. >> absolutely and it's not just coming from, you know, administrators and school board members. it's coming from parents at times who are coming to their administrators and demanding these books get taken off the shelves. they often use words like inappropriate, pornography comes up when describing stories that deal with lgbtq characters' first crushes in school or experiences with abuse or sad things that might be happening in the family at home, and what the authors and other family members have or other community members have pushed back we talk about these subjects when it's a straight couple or nuclear family, why is it not okay to talk about them if the characters look or sound a little different? and so these are the issues we'll see play out in the lawsuit but it will have implications for all the districts in florida. >> briefly have we heard from florida governor ron desantis

coming two days after he signed a bill per training to diversity programs in colleges? >> we have not heard his thoughts on this lawsuit but know his position on these matters, which is that he has aggressively backed families who pushed for these removals and past policies that are similar. >> antonia, thank you. learning more about the victims of the deadly mass shooting in northern new mexico. new details also emerging about the 18-year-old gunman. police say his attack was completely random. here's nbc news correspondent erin mclaughlin. >> reporter: in new mexico, new details about america's latest teenage mass shooter. >> advise on the suspect. he's walking south. he's wearing all black. >> reporter: late tuesday police identified the suspect as bobowe wilslson, an n 1818-yearh school student seen here moments before being shot dead by police following an apparent murderous shooting rampage that

killed three elderly women and wounded at least six, including two police officers. >> the amount of violence and brutality that these innocent people face is something that is unconscionable to me. >> reporter: police say wilson opened fire on a farmington, new mexico, neighborhood, blowing out car windows and shooting up random homes. >> he was just shooting indiscriminately. >> reporter: the first shots fired at 10:56. ten minutes later police shot the gunman dead having been armed with at least three different weapons including an assault-style rifle. police say he purchased one of the weapons legally last year. the rest belonged to a family member. >> h he got themem from a fafam member, anand by got t them, th a loose interpretation of the word. >> reporter: all of the among those lost, 79-year-old shirley voita, a mother of five and retired school nurse married for 57 years. >> just pillars of the community. >> reporter: 97-year-old gwendolyn schofield died along

side her daughter melody ivie, and mark duncan says they were women of faith. >> it's a horrible thing when tragedy hits, and i can tell you that aunt melody would probably be the first one to put her arms around that young man as he lost his life. >> reporter: erin mclaughlin, nbc news. coming up how rescuers managed to track down a group of missing hikers lost in the california mountains. you're watching "nbc new you're watching "nbc new daily.s " trelelegy for cocopd. ♪ b birds flyinin' high, you know h how i feel.l. ♪ ♪ b breeze drififtin' on...♪ [cououghing] ♪ .....by, you knknow how i f f♪ if youou're tired d of starining down youour copd. ♪ i it's a new w dawn, ♪♪ ♪ it't's a new daday... ♪♪ .....stop settttling. ♪ it't's a new daday... ♪♪ ♪♪ ...and i'i'm feelin'' good♪ ♪ it't's a new daday... ♪♪ start a a new day wiwith trel. no oncnce-daily cocopd medice has the popower to treat c copd in a as many wayays as trele. withth three mededicines inin one inhalaler, trelegegy makes brbreathing ear for r a full 24 4 hours, withth three mededicines inin one inhalaler, imprproves lung g functi, and d helps prevevent fue flare-upups.

bottom of the hour now, here are some of the stories making headlines on "nbc news daily." nbc news has confirmed that another american has died while fighting in ukraine. the aunt of 45-year-old nicholas maimer said the 20-year army veteran was killed in eastern ukraine. he said he was traveling to ukraine hoping to save lives. he is at least the 11th american killed in the war.

a group of teens lost on a trail in southern california in a canyon were rescued with the help of an emergency iphone feature. ten teens were stranded for hours in los padres national forest able to reach emergency by texting them without having cell or wi-fi service. a rescue team eventually found the missing teens on what's known as the last chance trail. >> wow. president biden awarded nine first responders with medals of valors. two new york police officers who were ambushed and killed after responding to a 911 call as well as the rookie cop who took down a gunman, the medal of valor the highest honor for a public safety officer. he said they all represent the best of who we are as americans. the rush of migrants to the u.s. last week is being felt far beyond the southern border now. shelters are being stretched thin and cities across the

country. in new york city, for example, democratic mayor eric adams is looking to house asylum seekers in school gyms. his plan to deal with the influx sparking lawsuits and protests. more than a thousand miles away in florida, republican governor ron desantis says he plans to send law enforcement and national guard members to the texas border with mexico. that move comes as a sweeping new immigration law is set to take effect in florida. on july 1st immigration activists call the law, quote, the strongest anti-illegal immigration legislation in the country. telemundo lourdes hur tar dough joins us. there are about 775,000 of undocumented immigrants in florida right now. what happens come july 1st? >> reporter: that's right, kate. thank you for having me, yes, many of those immigrants are now petrified of what will happen after july 1st. those images you were seeing are

images of a community meeting in homestead, florida, that we were invited to and they gave us access. they allowed us to film. we had to explain to them we weren't going to show their faces because they're truly, truly scared because this law includes tougher penalties for transporting undocumented immigrants into the state, it invalidates licenses for those who cannot prove status it makes hospitals collect and report their immigration status to the state and it gives $12 million to the state to send immigrants to other states, to send them away and, of course, there's a lot of confusion because some of the initial provisions that were being discussed when this bill was promoted weren't included, but many people don't know that and still believe that they're at risk while driving, for example. >> oh, interesting, what, they think that they could get stopped or their license taken or something. you also spoke with a little girl who's fearful of this

immigration law. what did she tell you, lourdes? >> reporter: yes, kate, that little girl is actually a u.s. citizen. around 7% of all the children in florida are u.s. citizens and have an undocumented family member in their household, and that's the case for this girl. she and her mother are planning on leaving the state if things get tough, if they start seeing that i.c.e. or immigration is doing raids at worksites or if there are checkpoints, immigrant checkpoints at roads, they are not willing to risk being separated from their family. let's take a listen to what they told me. >> i do not want this to happen because i have family here that doesn't have papers, and i just want them -- i can't.

>> it's okay. >> that i want them to have a better life here. >> reporter: and now community organizers are reaching out, and they're educating this community to let them know what is included in this new law but also that they still have constitutional rights and that, you know, they can still go to a hospital, get medical help, go to police and report if they're victims of crime because they still, you know, have constitutional rights in this country. >> right, just trying to explain to people what's in the law and what's not. lourdes hurtado, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. the battle over the most commonly used abortion pill is front and center in new orleans today. a federal appeals court is hearing about mifepristone after a judge sided with challengers who wanted to block access to the drug last month. nbc news washington correspondent yamiche alcindor joins us now, so, yamiche, can

you remind us how we got to this point of oral arguments and where does access to the pill stand right now. >> reporter: zinhle, at this hour we have three conservative judges, each with a history of supporting restrictions on abortions hearing oral arguments right now on whether this widely used pill, mifepristone, should remain available. the arguments have been tense and seems like these judges will likely side with anti-abortion activists who brought the case and one referred to it as a moral tragedy. as viewers may remember an anti-abortion group, and add volks and doctors sued to get it off the market. they are arguing it is unsafe and the fda should never have approved it two decades ago. the justice department is arguing taking this abortion medication offer the market would cause great harm to women and that the fda's approval of the pill and more recent actions like allowing it to be mailed should remain in place and an attorney for the doj said a

lower district court's order to pull the drug off the market was unjustified and unprecedented and an attack on scientific expertise. of that, we should remind folks that order is not in place right now. meanwhile there isn't a clear deadline on when the appeals court will rule so they could rule whenever they want to. in the short term access remains in place no matter what the appeals court decides because it issued a state keeping access in place until it rules. no matter how it rules, this afternoon or whenever they get to ruling, one of these will appeal to the supreme court to make the ultimate decision and the supreme court decides whether to hear it at that time and we should also remind people the only way that this pill will be in jeopardy is if the doj loses in the fifth circuit and the supreme court chooses not to hear their appeal or the supreme court eventually rules in favor of these anti-abortion activists so a lot of legal arguments going on this afternoon and the

arguments are still going right now and have gone past an hour and a half, zinhle. >> all eyes on this one, yamiche alcindor, thank you very much. new developments in the case of four murdered university students in idaho. the man accused of killing them last november has now been indicted by a grand jury. brian bryan kohberger was arrested last december in connection with the slayings at a house off campus. steve patterson joins us now. steve, what specifics have we learned about the indictment. >> reporter: yeah, prosecutors deciding to impanel a grand jury which means that accused killer bryan kohberger was indicted on the five original counts, four counts of first degree murder and one count of burglary to commit a crime. what does it mean? two thing, one, that date that we all had circled on our calendar at the end of june for a preliminary hearing, that has been foregone. that is no longer happening, which would have companied essentially almost a week-long mini trial before the actual trial to determine probable cause to see if a trial was necessary.

that would have meant witnesses and cross-examination and testimony and evidence presenteds. all in court. none of that is happening anymore. this is all -- i wouldn't call it secret but private, the details will be presented for a jury and a judge to see if this case continues on to a trial. that means a few things otherwise, it meanings that we won't see sort of this strategic machinations of both the defense and the prosecution, the defense really having no part of this behind closed doors process. it means that witnesses that would have been called in court will no longer be called, so we know obviously that there were two surviving roommates. we know it's probably one of them would have been called to testify, that person won't have to do that in front of the court. they will do that in this private session and it, of course, means the media won't be involved so there won't be weeks of speculation and a circus outside of the courtroom. all of this probable to the calculus of why this is happening and so now what we

have is a monday court date. bryan kohberger scheduled for an arraignment where he will enter a plea and we'll actually see him in court and see what happens next, kate. >> this monday is when we expect to see him in court. >> this monday, absolutely. he'll be there. >> steve patterson, thank you. in dallas police are looking for people involved in a deadly shootout. a mother of three was caught in the cross fire while she was helping her daughter get ready for prom. nbc news reporter maya eaglin is following this story for us. what do we know. >> reporter: zinhle, 39-year-old anna moreno was a wife, mother and sister and she was taking her daughter amy to get her hair done and pick up her dress for prom later that night. officers then responded to a shooting just after 4:00 p.m. that same day. two cars headed eastbound were shooting at each other. you can see them on a neighbor's surveillance camera as they passed by. one of those bullets entered her car and her daughter was in the passenger seat. her youngest daughter recalled

her mother's excitement over the day followed by what her sister saw. take a listen. >> she was, like, we finally get to see her get ready and she didn't even get to see it happen. all she heard was gunshots and she just -- my mom made a signal like she couldn't breathe and then she just leaned on amy's shoulder and that's when they crashed and then that's when -- that's when amy was saying she called the ambulance. >> reporter: a man driving with his wife nearby stopped to help but he says there was nothing much to do at that point. she was taken to the hospital but died just hours before mother's day. on sunday afternoon friends and loved ones including her daughter amy who witnessed her mother's final moments all showed up to the crash site to honor the mother whose life was senselessly taken and police are reviewing surveillance as part of their investigation and say three men who were also injured

in the shooting are in critical condition. we do know that the family has set up a gofundme that raised over $12,000 for funeral expenses, zinhle. >> devastating story, maya, thank you so much. coming up, we are talking about the talk. how parents feel about how their kids are learning about sex. but first it's time for today's "daily snapshot" and mentioned the g7 summit is set to get under way. these heads of state have plenty to say about it. >> a group of protesters in london donning these oversized heads of world leaders. they're just masks, don't worry including president biden, you see there, they're protesting what they call inaction toward fighting hunger in east africa. it is a

welcome back. in today's "modern parenting" a closer look at sex education. >> parents is out with a new survey that finds 64% of parents think sex education should be mandatory in schools. here with us now grace and 64% seems high. there are other figures that show parents, this generation of parents like myself seem to be willing to talk than maybe or easier to talk than maybe it was for the generation before. >> yes, yes, yes, thank you for

having me. yes, for starters, that is very true. we are more open to talk about it. through our survey we found half of the 1,5 apparents we surveyed said sex when they were growing up was a somewhat taboo or very taboo topic in their households and one in three said they didn't get enough information from sex growing up so today's parents really want to do better by their kids and 70% feel more comfortable talking to their kids about sex than their parents did with them and actually see it vital to their well-being. >> sex education doesn't just happen between parents but also from schools, obviously it varies from state to state but generally what does sex education look like in the country? >> it depends where you live. sex education is only mandatory in 38 states.

age we found a stark difference between what parents think should be covered and what is actually taught in schools and many schools fall behind on practically every category when you look at that state by state level, it really varies with safe sex, abstinence and hiv as the main topics covered but parents want more comprehensive sex education for their kids and they want schools to really go beyond the basic. >> majority of parents want that because it's interesting because this stuff can get controversy, right, in some states -- we just talked about book banning earlier in the show, some people are upset abouting boos that mention sexuality so what changes are possible, do you think, or what would parents like to see? >> well, they want to see conversations about consent and body image and relationships. the number one topic that they want schools to cover are sexual harassment, abuse and assault, which makes a lot of sense especially we're seeing so many

reports talking about the well-being conrns about the well-being of kidsnd teens, especily young girl, right. and on the heels of the me too movement, it makes a lot of sense. >> yeah, no, it's so critical. knowledge is power in cases like those. grace, i wonder what about sex edge situation around the lgbtq experience. what did polling indicate there? >> so we're seeing half of parents want their kids to learn about gender expression and identity and that number is not surprising. like i said before, we're seeing this cultural change and we're in a society where we're starting to see a shift to a more gender equal and gender neutral world, right, so by having these meaningful conversations with kids, you're setting them up to live in an america that is more and more diverse. >> what about the role of social media in all this? a lot of kids live on social media and might be getting

information from social media. what do parents say? >> we're getting misinformation from social media which is 69% of parents are concerned about this misinformation related to sex and i think it was 67% who said that their kids are getting too much sexual content online, specifically in social media. we've seen schools already suing social media giants, citing the harm that's inflicted on students and parents feel similarly. it's the second source of sex information for their kid. >> a big question, what age do you start having these sex-ed conversations? >> early and often. the good news is 67% of our respondents did say they've already initiated these conversation, but one in three or two, one in two actually of those that haven't plan to do so when their kids are 13 or older but experts recommend early and if you don't know where to start talk to your child's pediatrician, often they can

provide talking points, suggest books that help you navigate those conversations. >> do you take your cue from the kids, you know, like i remember when they were little it was like whatever they ask, answer that. don't go further than what they ask. >> well, either you're being proactive or your kid is coming to you with a question use age appropriate language. be positive so there's not a stigma or any shame around sex and be honest. >> that's critical. grace, thank you so much.

hi, everyone. this is "the fast forward." i'm janelle wang. our top story happening today. an east bay assisted living worker accused in the death of an elderly patient is due in court for a hearing that may pave the way for her trial. she used to work at this senior living facility. she's facing charges of elder abuse resulting in the death of a 92-year-old patient last august. he became ill after drinking cleaning solution. we have been covering the story and two similar deaths. now both facilities are facing new legal action leaving their futures in limbo. go to our investigative unit section on our website to for more coverage. it's a tale of two bay areas. the inland valley will be riding

80 degree temps. san francisco will be reaching for their jackets. >> our temperatures will reach into the low to mid 80s. we will see a nice cooling trend continue for the inland valleys. by the end of the week, highs in the upper 70s. back to the low 80s sunday. warmer on monday. it does look nice for outdoor activities. we are going to see the cool temperatures near the coastline and in san francisco. our temperatures reach the mid 60s every day and start out in the low 50s. breezy winds with a lot of low clouds and fog, maybe drizzle. with some sun for the afternoon. if you have weekend plans in the city, expect it cool. keep the jacket on. we will still need the jacket for the start of the new workweek with highs in the

millions of families will fly this summer.

if you don't want to get stuck thanks to the delay, chris chmura says you have to take control. easier said than done. but here is how he does it. >> i hope you need none of this advice. there's a good chance your flight is going to be delayed or canceled. you don't have to be a travel pro. >> there are tools you can use, even as an entry-level traveller. >> first, sign up for email and text alerts from the airline. too often you get that notice about your 5:15 flight being late at 5:14. start tracking your plane, not your flight, your actual plane yourself. free apps like flight radar 24 and flight aware will let you track your plane before you get on it. keep tabs on that jet. if it starts running behind schedule and it looks like your trip will go sideways, take action earlier. you will have an advantage to try to rebook first. on that note, attack from

multiple fronts. while you are in line, get on the phone and get on social media. don't be afraid to ask the same question in three or four different places. i have had a terrible run lately. almost all delayed or canceled flights. i have had good success on twitter, cancelling or rebooking almost completely in the dm. good look out there. >> okay. thanks, chris. we have an update on a story we brought you yesterday. a vote to decide the fate of the castro theater has been delayed until next month. the company that owns the theater has fought to remove the seats and wants to turn it into and concert venue. theatergoers are outraged. there's a vote to see if we can designate it as a landmark and that should protect it from certain renovations. they were going to vote yesterday. it's delayed until june 6. it's delayed until june 6. that does it for "the imagine ifif you couldld get ahahead of youour ibs-c..
