we've got a lot ahead from paris. but i know you're on big, big story back home. >> we are indeed, savannah. tens of millions of people are waking up once again to dangerous air quality. the images are kind of hard to believe. take a look. here's what the new york city skyline looked on monday afternoon. and this is what it looked like yesterday. that change in just 48 hours. it forced the cancellation of sporting events, of school activities, even broadway shows. a lot of residents have been wearing masks again. the scenes feel like kind of the pandemic, as the mayor urges residents to stay inside. and that massive cloud of smoke, it's only expanding now. it's reaching farther south and west with major warnings in philly and in d.c. we have got everything you need to know before you head off to work or school. we're going to start out with nbc's emilie ikeda. hi, emilie, good morning. >> reporter: hey, hoda, believe it or not, this is actually an improvement compared to yesterday. still, you see that heavy haze

obscuring new york city skyline. and i've got my mask here as officials encourage everyone to take precautions and doctors brace for a potential influx in patients as these conditions linger. this morning, as millions are waking up to smoky cityscapes for a third day in a row, the white house stepping in. president biden extending criticical supportrt to canadad orderiring all avavailable fede firefighting assets to help contain the early season wildfires ravaging that country, and sending unprecedented plumes of smoke into the u.s. new york city's iconic skyline becoming almost unrecognizable throughout the day yesterday, taking on an apocalyptic-like haze. a startling comparison to earlier this week. >> smells like barbecue. it's only getting worse. can barely breathe. >> reporter: today, air quality alerts are impacting more than 100 million people across 16 states, prompting to reach for those pandemic-era masks. >> it's got me coughing a little. that's why i put the mask on. >> reporter: from the midwest to

the northeast and into the mid-atlantic, the heavy haze triggering a domino effect of flight and travel delays. sporting events, including two major league baseball games were called off wednesday, as schools in several cities canceled outdoor activities and google advised employees to stay home. the curtain even coming down on some broadway shows. new york city has now recorded the worst air quality in the world two days in a row. it's aqi or measure of pollution spiking above 400, well into the hazardous zone. researchers say an aqi of 150 is equivalent to about seven cigarettes a day. >> it's concerning simply because you just don't expect to see it and if you can see it, you know you're breathing it. >> how quickly can people start feeling symptoms? >> very quickly. >> reporter: medical experts say more vulnerable populations will experience symptoms to a more

extreme degree. so think younger children, seniors, expecting mothers, and those with respiratory conditions like asthma. as for the question, do masks help in these kinds of scenarios? the short answer is, yes, they do help. and for that reason, the state of new york is doling out 1 million face coverings today, hoda. >> thank you, emilie. it's also taking a toll on air travel, with the faa pausing some flights because of reduced visibility. nbc's tom costello covers aviation and is at reagan national. we've heard about some flight cancellations. how many flights have been canceled or delayed at this point? >> well, let me start with the breaking news. earlier morning a i don't understand stop at la guardia and now pauses because of the thick smoke. here in washington, we woke up

to purple air quality and it has been a challenging moment with the winds and the thick smoke. so we'll be watching it throughout the day. you can barely see the tower. back to you. >> tom, so, tell us what people could expect today as they head to the airport? >> so, we are going to be watching those key new york city airports. they are still expected to have, as we said, we've already got laguardia on a ground stop, ground delay is expected throughout the day. the key airports to watch today are going to be, first of all, new york city, as well as laguardia and newark, jfk, teterboro, of course, philadelphia, a little bit further south. and now for the d.c. -- the greater d.c. area, we've got the following. we've got baltimore, washington, reagan, dulles, charlotte, as well. we're also going to be watching philly very closely today. so this is going to be a very busy day of delays and some cancellations, we expect, as the smoke moves in. can i just make the point, you can barely see through the haze

the tower. the tower. normally if you've been here, right across the river, you can see the washington monument. you can't see anything right now. you can't see the washington monument, the jefferson memorial, can't see the capital. it's really just an astonishingly thick smoke day already. take a look at philly real quickly. same thing very, very thick smoke in philadelphia as that smoke moves its way down the east coast, just as thick as you could cut it with a knife. hoda, back to you. >> we're seeing those images, as you said d.c., here in new york, philly, all across the east coast. the question is, people are heading out to work, to school they're wondering what's going on here. al right now is taking a closer look at what's happening hey, al. >> and i flew into washington yesterday, and leaving laguardia, we were delayed for about an hour and a half but when we went through that layer, the cabin filled up we were thinking, because of the

hepa filters we'd be fine, but no, nobody was coughing and their eyes were burning. it was a big, big problem. >> oh, my gosh >> and globally, we're top five worst air quality cities yesterday, lahore, pakistan, number four, bangladesh, number two, new york city was number one yesterday. detroit was number five for e sn more than 9 million acres have bu dirtiest air and we're going to be seeing more of this record start to fire season. more than 9 million acres have burned so far. the fastest pace five out of the last six years we are going to be in this for a while. canadian wildfires since 1986, 40% of these acres linked to climate change that's more than the state of south carolina because of warming temperatures, decreasing humidity both combined, that drys out the vegetation and increases the fire risk. now you can see, stretching all the way from the great lakes all the way back into new york and down to washington, d.c. the winds are coming around this

low pressure system. right now, air quality, unhealthy from the wildfire smoke alone for 98 million people air quality right now, the worst is going to be from southern new york down into delaware. we're going to see -- right now, right now, it's unhealthy in new york very unhealthy in philadelphia and washington hazardous in allentown, pennsylvania and you can see as we move on into tomorrow, that smoke pushes down to the south, starts to clear out here in the northeast. we've got more smoke back in detroit down to charleston and pittsburgh we will see improvement tomorrow and on into the weekend. but for today, 121 million people at risk for ozone and canadian wildfire smoke from the southwest in california all the way into the northeast but the good news is, we start to see improvement tomorrow and even better on saturday and sunday >> good. all right, al. thank you so much. i know a lot of people have a lot of questions what should they do with their kids going to school is, should they turn their ac on? dr. raj will join us in just a little bit and answer all your questions. but first, we've got some

significant developments in the investigation that surround donald trump craig joins the table. hey, hoda. >> good morning. there are growing signs now that the justice department is moving toward a possible indictment over the former president's handling of classified documents. this as the special counsel investigating the january 6th attack and trump's efforts to stay in office has now subpoenaed a key witness nbc's senior legal correspondent, laura jarrett is here with us once again. good morning to you. we know now thanks to your reporting that the president's lawyers were informed that he is a target in the classified

documents investigation. what does that mean for the president? what does that mean for the investigation? >> i know there's a lot of terminology flying around, target, witness. the basic idea is that the lawyers have been informed that he's a target. it means that they believe that he has been suspected of committing a crime does it mean that he is absolutely going to get indicted no but it means he is facing significant legal exposure and it's again another data point that suggests that we are nearing the end of this investigation. the president, i should mention, former president maintains that he has done nothing wrong, saying on truth social yesterday, i have not been told that i've been indicted. so, we're still not there yet. i want to make that clear to people and i also don't want people at home to think that the doj just reached this conclusion that he's a target. we've known for quite some time. remember, they raided his home in mar-a-lago. we've known for some time that he was sort of in the ire of t m charge this but this is -- we're reaching a different critical junction at this point >> a lot of folks might be a little confused, because we're now seeing that activity out of a separate grand jury in south florida. most of the attention had been focused on d.c does that mean that we might see charges in two different places or no? >> i think the reason for that is that he has to be able to prove that bringing the charges something actually happened. that the crime actually happened in that place. the whole thing has been the whole time about his retention

of classified documents, obstructing their efforts to get the documents back that all happened in florida, of course, the investigators are in d.c., the justice department is in d.c they might prefer washington, d.c., given the jury pool, given that the judges are very well versed in classified document issues but all the action happens in florida and they don't want to have any delays or have them file a bunch of motions to get the case dismissed that's why you might see charges in florida >> and lastly, it's perhaps a little hard for folks to keep up, we are talking about four separate criminal investigations, any information into the january 6th increasing

the insurrection. >> as it relates to his efforts to stay in office in the january 6th insurrection, we have now learned that a key ally, steve bannon, a longtime adviser to the former president was in fact subpoenaed as it relates to just that investigation. that subpoena went out in late may. as for whether he'll comply, we don't know, an attorney declined to comment and so did the justice department. >> let's move now to breaking news out of france. several children were stabbed on a playground. it happened in the alpine town of amity, about five hours southeast of paris. officials say an attacker with a knife wounded four children and wounded an adult in a park. three of the victims are said to be in critical condition. police say the suspect was quickly apprehended and taken into custody. they say he is a syrian national with legal refugee status in france. french president emanuel macron reacting to this morning, calling the attack absolutely cowardice. he tweeted, the nation is in shock. our thoughts are with them as well as their families and emergency services mobilized. paris lawmakers interrupted a debate to hold a moment of silence for the victims. also this morning, the vatican has just released a new statement on the pope's condition, following his

abdominal surgery yesterday. nbc's meghan fitzgerald is at that hospital in rome, where pope francis spent his first time in recovery again. meghan, good morning. statement just out. how is the pope doing. >> reporter: good morning, craig. the pope is doing well. the vatican saying that three-hour-long abdominal surgery went well. he rested well and long overnight. he is going to stay in this hospital for the next five to seven days. he has been cleared to travel once he recovered. that's good news, because he's got this jam-packed summer schedule, where he's expected to make trips to mongolia and portugal in august. this is just the latest surgery. we know the pope has had a string of health concerns. he was hospitalized in march for bronchitis. in 2021 in july, he had surgery for his colon where part of his colon was removed. but look, all in all, the pope is in good spirits, reportedly joking with doctors.

the doctors telling him, you can't do any heavy lifting. he says, i'm the pope, i don't lift weights, but he does lift babies, and that's off-limits too. >> good to hear the 86-year-old pontiff is on the mend. we have a lot more to get to, including the prime suspect in the nearly 20-year-old disappearance of natalee holloway being handed over to the fbi in peru today. from there, he will be flown to alabama to face charges related to an alleged extortion attempt. nbc's guad venegas is at the airport in peru for us. guad, good morning. >> reporter: good morning hoda. van der sloot arrived here as agent the waited for him here. they took over custody and then the agents and van der sloot board the flight back to the u.s. in the u.s. he will face charges nearly 20 years after the disappearance of natalee holloway. this morning, 35-year-old joran

van der sloot, the prime suspect in natalee holloway's disappearance nearly two decades ago is being handed over to the fbi. he's facing federal wire fraud and extortion charges in alabama for promising information to natalee's mother, beth holloway, about how her daughter died and where her body was located. authorities say he asked for a quarter of a million dollars, but was given $25,000 in an fbi sting operation. van der sloot's lawyer claims his client was tricked into it. allegations the holloway family tells nbc news are patently untrue. van der sloot is currently serving a 28-year sentence in peru for the murder of a woman there, stephany flores. he will be flown from lima to birmingham, alabama, in the hands of american authorities, where he could face a judge.

>> one is that he will need to be arraigned on the charges against him. the other is that a decision will need to be made about whether to keep him in custody pending trial. that would seem to be a foregone conclusion. >> reporter: the move to the u.s. happening despite a last-ditch legal effort by van der sloot's lawyer this week to fight his surrender after originally agreeing to it. joyce vance is the former u.s. attorney who signed the original indictment back in 2010. >> because there's no way of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that she's dead, there's no way to charge the case as a murder. but it will be justice and it will matter. >> 18-year-old natalee holloway vanished during a high school graduation trip to aruba back in 2005. authorities say van der sloot and several others were with her the last night she was seen alive. the teen's remains have never been found, but today, a long-awaited reckoning for her family is one step closer to reality. >> until joran faces extortion charges in the u.s., then justice is not being served. >> in the next few minutes, van

der sloot is expected to arrive here at the military section of the lima airport. and the trial could begin at some point during the next year. and if found guilty in the u.s., he faces up to 20 years in prison. let's keep in mind, that would be after he returns to peru once again to finish that 28-year sentence. hoda? >> all right. guad venegas for us there in peru. guad, thank you. >> we'll have a lot more on thi. the holloway's family longtime attorney will join us for an exclusive live interview let us switch gears here smoky skies, the case for tens of millions. >> strong storms down the gulf coast. showers making their way through the plains a flood watch up through the pacific northwest. and sunshine through the southwest. we're going to get to your local forecast in the next 30 seconds. are we clolose?

and that's your latest weather. still ahead, we'll have a lot more on that hazardous haze that's over a large part of the country. a lot of people wondering what they should do and what they should not do when the sky looks like this. we'll get some answers from an expert i am with some of your favorite people. we are counting down to paris 2024 and focus this morning on gymnastics konnor mcclain, they all have their eyes set on the olympics after sweeping the podium at the most recent u.s. gymnastics

air india is reimbursing them for the flight. highs inland reach into the mid-70s. as we go into the weekend there will be increasing clouds once again, and we may see a slight chance of showers in the forecast between sunday and monday. we don't see a big warm-up in the near term forecast. san francisco will be slightly cooler for the weekend as the clouds move back in. highs in the low 60s and our mornings starting out in the low 50s, and we are watching out for a slight chance of showers on sunday and monday, but other than that we have great weathe as we headr i

we're back here. it's 7:30 in the united states, but more importantly, it is 1:30 in the afternoon in beautiful paris, france.

savannah's celebrating just everything, but the olympics just a year away. >> you know what, it's just about rosé o'clock here. here i am, you can see the eiffel tower right behind me i wanted to show you around a little bit you guys will flip out we'll all be here about a year from now this is going to be the "today" show sets and the nbc sports set for prime-time it's a french restaurant at the feet of the eiffel tower could you die? you know what we call that here in france? we call it la via bell i am working on my accent. these iconic sites are part of the olympics this is where beach volleyball will be. right at the feet of the eiffel tower. look over to the left. i've been practicing this pronunciation. les champsdele that's where tennis will be. you might run into team usa

hopefuls we have shilese and konnor so much to look forward to in paris. >> paris looks really good on savannah guthrie >> we're having big fomo here. we're definitely having some fomo >> looks good on you >> come meet me for the weekend! >> i would love that back here, though. a little bit more on that story that everyone is talking about we're talking about the dangerous air quality that is impacting more than 100 million across some 16 states now. it's all because of those raging wildfires in canada. >> it climbed up into the hazardous range, the highest level in new york yesterday as tom costello, it went way high in d.c. just this morning. we've brought in dr. raj so let's just talk about this morning. it's 7:30 in the morning a lot of people are heading off

to work and they want to do the session, what's the right thing for a right thing by their kids. you told me your kid's school was out. if you're kids' school is in session, what's the right thing for a parent to do >> we're looking outside, and it looks better than yesterday, but we're still in that dangerously high level so everyone needs to take this seriously and limit your exposure outdoors. definitely wearing masks is important for everyone, not just high-risk groups, because children in particular are high risk but for the adults, as well. we want to really limit that exposure to these tiny particulate matters. these really, really small particles that can get deep into the lung tissues and trigger inflammation and potentially

even long-term issues. >> let's talk about that for a lot of people, it's just the haze but i was struck by the smoke. i had some trouble not just breathing, but in terms of my eyes started to water. >> absolutely. the way the toxic dust and ash everything and gets into your body, also the eyes. some of the symptoms you might experience would be eye irritation, soft wheezing. chest tightness, fatigue, headaches. and these are signs you're being affected now, the short-term effect long-term, we don't really know what the long-term effects are but theoretically, if you're going to have long-term exposure if you're outdoor working, which we don't recommend anyone to do, but likely there would be long-term effects as well. and for children, increasing their risk of asthma down the road, even if they don't have asthma right now so be very careful and really limit the exposure >> last night i got home, and everyone was saying, turn off

your ac units. we have the window units that you have to turn on and off because it brings the air from outside. what's the best rule when it comes to ac in your house, in your car what should you be doing >> you want to make sure particularly in the home that the ac unit is not on the setting that brings in outside air. turn off that set and make sure you're just recirculating the indoor air make sure the windows are properly sealed and closed, air purifiers are another good option make sure the air purifier will service the entire area of the room and if you have a very large room and a smaller room, maybe make one small room the clean room, where you spend most of your time. avoid vacuuming or even cooking indoors during this time, because there is some indoor air pollution, as careful as you can be some of this is getting inside your house and you don't want to be circulating that air by vacuuming too much >> i've noticed a few folks here walking by on 49th street wearing those n95 masks. >> and a lot of people on the plaza not wearing any masks at all. >> should we be masking? >> we should

we just checked the level and it's over 200 in new york city and that's unhealthy for everyone that means you should be wearing a mask if you're outside, but better to not be outside at all if possible. >> dr. raj, thank you for the advice let's send it back to savannah who's in paris hey, sg. >> hey, guys we've been at the eiffel tower all morning long it's one of the most iconic landmarks in the world keir simmons got remarkable access to it and just ahead, a firsthand look at the eiffel tower's rich history and the big role it's going to play in the 2024 olympics, but first we've got to catch up with some of america's brightest stars in women's gymnastics they're right here with me this morning. and they hope to be right back here in paris next summer for the olympics we'll chat with them right after this you don't t have to kekeep ts on rotatining categoriries.. this is s the only r rotag i cacare about..

>> there goes jordan chiles. >> 22-year-old jordan chiles is no stranger to the olympic games. in tokyo, jordan was suddenly called in to step in for simone biles after the four-time gold medallist pulled out of the team final for mental health reasons. under pressure, jordan delivered, helping team usa take home silver. >> i also knew in my body that i could pull out everything that i had. >> reporter: since her olympic debut, jordan has held nothing back as an all-around standout at ucla and on the world stage >> there it is looking to make their dreams come true, 20-year-old shilese jones and 18-year-old konnor mcclain. >> very powerful athlete >> each gymnast on the past to olympic stardom after separately facing tragedy at home in 2021 shilese lost her father, sylvester, and konnor lost her

father, mark both considered giving up gymnastics, but instead shilese and konnor are pushing forward in honor of their dads shilese is looking to earn her ticket to paris after just missing out on the tokyo team and she's showing the world what they missed. >> check this out. she is high flying >> and what's to come. >> hey y'all, i'm back2024 has always been the gold as she told steve harvey >> for konnor, paris 2024 has always been the gold as she told steve harvey when she was just 11 years old >> i audience that you are preparing for a big opportunity. what is that >> yes, the 2024 olympics to win the all-around >> and konnor showed us that she wasn't kidding around when she earned her first national title last year, a history-making moment as both shilese and jordan joined konnor at the medal ceremony tad, they became the first three black women ever to sweep the podium at the u.s. gymnastics' championships.

>> that moment was so unreal >> i'm just like, wow, we did that >> do a flip >> with that momentum, these gymnasts are once again looking to make history and carry on team usa's legacy. >> and without further ado, let's say bonjour to jordan, shilese, and konnor. good morning, ladies >> good morning. >> how does it feel to be in paris and the olympics just about a year away? >> honestly, it's an amazing thing, just being able to be here and feel the environment and everything like that, i'm beyond excited i can't wait to push for the huge goal that all three of us and see where everything turns out. >> how about, you've been to tokyo. this will be your first olympics if you make the team next year what does it mean to you, shilese? >> it means the world, coming back to the second go-around and being one spot short so many goals have passed and this is just like my one big goal, so i can finally have it in my hand >> you came so close in tokyo. now is your moment konnor, for you, i can't believe that darling little 11-year-old knew exactly when she would be

here in paris for the olympics how does it feel to be so close to that lifelong goal? >> it feels incredible it feels like i'm almost there i've been training 17 years. i said on the steve harvey show that i wanted to be here and i'm one year away and i'm excited. >> all of you have known each other since you were little girls. jordan, you had that moment in tokyo. i remember a headline saying, you were the hero we didn't know we need. you stepped up in that moment. how as a veteran of the olympics do you approach coming back to paris? >> honestly, like you said, i did go to tokyo and had that huge heroic moment, but coming into this next year, you know, i'm just going to have fun, enjoy every single moment that i have i have done it once before, so i'm out here seeing if i can do it again and live life how i should be living it and just enjoying it and having fun >> i know all three of you, this is not an easy road, to be in

elite gymnastics, you give up everything you both have had personal losses, but you've decided to stick with it. what is motivating you every day, shilese >> just my family, myself. i know there's still more for me to prove out there and i want to accomplish so much more, so. just kind of pushing and grinding every day until i reach final goal >> how about you, konnor >> doing it for my family, myself, and for my dad and pushing through. >> you're making history already. we cannot wait to cheer you on and watch you shine. thank you so much, jordan, shilese, and konnor. thank you for coming to paris and getting us excited >> thank you >> all right, guys, remember to save the date. you can catch all of the olympic action on the networks of nbc next summer, 2024. i'll meet you here, okay >> we are so pumped, s.g those girls look phenomenal. jordan, it's good to see you, shilese, and konnor.

smoke. coming up, the questions everyone is asking whether is it headed how bad will it be and when will it be over plus, this again a star from "this is us" now saying they are up for a reunion. carson has the news that has fans buzzing, coming up in "pop start. and ah, paris. from the french open -- >> she's a player, she's a player hooray >> to the eiffel tower >> look at this. >> we're taking you behind the scenes for an inside look at some of the most iconic landmarks in paris as we mark one year to the 2024 summer olympics today, thursday, june 8th. 2023 >> family trip from boston >> and philly. >> for my 30th birthday. >> three generations from

have the french open happening as we speak. i cannot wait to share our behind the scenes tour of roland-garros stadium. it's iconic. who better to show us than another icon, john mcenroe we even got to hit the clay courts a little bit. >> we heard him say that you've got a game we can't wait to see a little of that, savannah we'll check back with you in just a bit first your news at 8:00. the white house is sending more help to battle those canadian wildfires that have blanketed american cities in heavy smoke but for now, the smoke is trav. al will have our forecast in just a minute. first, actually spreading into new areas, and it's also taking a toll on air travel al will have our forecast in just a minute. first, let's get the very latest from nbc's emilie ikeda who joins us now from brooklyn, new york hey, emilie, good morning. >> reporter: hey, hoda tens of millions of people waking up to smoky cityscapes like the one behind me

for the third day in a row, you can barely make out lower manhattan through that thick, heavy haze and that's what's prompting the faa to warn of delays throughout the day from a number of major airports from new york city into philadelphia, d.c. potentially into charlotte and we continue to see the smoke pouring in from our northern neighbor and those out-of-control wildfires the white house now taking action president biden ordering all available federal firefighting accents to assist. it has felt a bit like mars, like what you're seeing on your screen we've seen apocalyptic scenes play out from the midwest to the northeast and down into the mid-atlantic, where some of the worst air quality is expected to play out today believe it or not, what you're seeing behind me is an improvement compared to yesterday. still, officials are urging people to take precautions, and that includes masking up, something i will be doing just after this report, hoda. >> emilie ikeda live for us in brooklyn >> al, that thick haze and smoke, any idea when we can

expect it to improve >> i think by tomorrow, we'll see some improvement here in the northeast. but we're still watching that system, the pinkish gray, that is the smoke it's driving itself in here. unhealthy air just from wildfire smoke. 98 million people right now. spots again from scranton, pennsylvania, washington, d.c., harrisburg, pennsylvania, philadelphia you can see anywhere from unhealthy to very unhealthy air. allentown, hazardous air and tomorrow, you can see, it pushes to the south. down from salisbury down to washington, d.c., but through much of ohio, detroit, on into parts of wisconsin, we're looking at that. but eventually, things start to clear out. that's the good news the big problem though for today, we have 121 million people at risk, not just for the canadian wildfire smoke, but for ozone as well. air quality going to be an issue next 24 hours here in the

northeast, mid-atlantic states and then by the weekend, things get a lot better >> all right, al, thank you so much we appreciate it now to a story you will see first right here on "today." an historic announcement by california governor gavin newsom that could affect the entire country when it comes to gun control. nbc's jacob soboroff sat down exclusively with the governor. jacob, good morning. >> hey, hoda good morning to you. every week in this country, there is another mass shooting but in the aftermath, little seem to be done to stop more of them now gavin newsom is taking an unprecedented step which he says will do just that. he's proposing a new 28th amendment to the u.s. constitution that if passed would restrict access to guns in all 50 states. why a constitutional amendment and why now? >> why now is pretty self-evident that a lot of the laws we've passed are being rolled back by the federal courts >> to be clear, you're not calling for the abolition of the second amendment >> no, this is an existential crisis that we're experiencing

every single day >> reporter: saying he's fed up with congress' inability to act, california governor gavin newsom is proposing something never done before on gun control having states work together to pass a u.s. constitutional amendment on guns that would implement for measures nationwide, raise the minimum age for buying a firearm to 21, mandate universal background checks, require a reasonable waiting period for gun purchases, and ban the sale of assault rifles to civilians. to achieve this, he'll need two-thirds of states to propose the same amendment that would trigger a constitutional convention, where three quarters of states would have to vote "yes" for the amendment to pass. >> more than half of these state legislatures are controlled by republicans. how is this possible >> it's possible because their constituency demands it. >> in fact, a recent fox news poll found most americans are in favor of these measures. >> there's not one parent out there that doesn't think about these things when you send your kids to school >> you know very well what the critics are going to say about this california has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation in the first month of the year, between half moon bay and

monterey park, 18 people were killed that's what they're going to say. what do we need this 28th amendment for? >> the gun rate death today is 70% lower than texas these federal judges want to turn america into texas. we cannot let that happen. >> the 19th amendment to the constitution that gave women the right to vote, it took 40 years. do you think the 48th amendment, it will happen in your lifetime? >> i hope so if you don't start, it will never happen >> even to get this amendment off the ground, california would need to be joined by two-thirds of the other states. governor newsom's first order of business will be shoring up support in ones with republican-controlled legislatures battle, historically. there has never been a u.s. constitutional amendment proposed by states that have ever passed, hoda. >> jacob soboroff for us there is no question this is going to be a very uphill battle, historically there has never been a u.s. constitutional amendment proposed by states that have ever passed, hoda. >> jacob soboroff for us there jacob, thank you

now to a spectacular sight in hawaii. this is the kilauea volcano. it's erupting on the big island there. scientists say it started tuesday evening with increased earthquake activity. a code red alert has been issued in the area because of the volcanic gas, but so far the lava flow, not threatening any homes or businesses. >> all right we've got our news covered what do you say? a boost? let's do it! a new york man was looking for a fun way to tell his mom that he and his wife were expecting their very first baby. so they sent her a fake pr package containing a personalized water bottle, and it had a little something extra hidden inside. hell is this? i did not order that. take a look. >> what the hell is this i did not order that i did not order that >> was there anything else in there. >> there is something else in there. >> oh, god, no oh, my god oh, my god wait a minute! wait a.

minute is this -- is this -- oh, my god! oh, my god i -- i'm truly blessed >> it went from, i didn't order that to, i'm truly blessed in about 30 seconds she was pretty excited that was a great one >> that was. that was she's going to be a great new grandmdma. >> coming up on pop statart,e new "ted lasso" talk what one of the stars is saying about a romance that was actually being considered on the show savannah >> sg? >> guys, when we saw that screaming on the morning boost, that's how tirico and i were when we saw each other here in paris. we got to go see some tennis action at the french open, a behind the scenes tour from johnny mac, john mcenroe, and tirico will help us take a look at the sports that will take place in the olympics just about a year from now, right after this inkwkware frfrom yeti.

with the c citi custom cas℠s card. i lolove it... [voioice vibratiting] it's 8:14 with more of our countdown to paris savannah, you took a special trip while you were already in a special place. where'd you go >> timing is everything, hoda. as you know, paris is going to be used for a lot of venues during the 2024 olympics that are already in place one of them is roland-garros, the current home of the french open and since the open is happening right now, while we were here, we decided we better to check it out. why not check it out with one of the biggest names in tennis on the court and in the broadcast booth. mr. john mcenroe the french open, one of the midwest prestigious tennis events of the year takes place right in the heart of paris. every top tennis star has had their turn on the iconic red clay courts of roland-garros,

including passionate tennis legend -- >> you cannot be serious >> turned lovable broadcaster. >> i think usa is the greatest country on earth >> reporter: john mcenroe. what do they call this, the winner's -- >> i believe they call it the locker room. >> reporter: i met mcenroe with next year's olympic spotlight on everyone's mind. >> what would that mean to this city, to the olympics, to play here >> well, i think this would be amazing for tennis obviously, there's a lot of history at roland-garros and this is a clay court event, so it's been tougher traditionally for americans to do well. >> so these are some of the folks who have won >> here's a guy that we know andre agassi >> this is the tougher surface >> it's tough because you're slipping and sliding it's definitely a challenge.

>> when you're playing the center court at roland-garros, the french open, is this where you walk in? >> this is it. >> can we peek >> we can peek and see a quarter final match in progress. >> during his career on the court, mcenroe won many titles, but not a singles final aty do r roland-garros. >> you really do remember it like it was yesterday. >> i've had numerous nightmares. at least, i say, and i wish i was kidding, one or two every time i come here >> let's focus on the good stuff. >> oh, yeah, i'll be right there. >> the good stuff includes adoration from tennis fans young and old, walking with mcenroe through these hallowed grounds is like walking with the ultimate rock star >> you can't go anywhere with this guy >> they don't remember that i didn't win this. my all but they remember they cared and they remembered that agave it my all and it's actually probably as much or more so than any other city in the world. they treat me really nice here so i've got to feel appreciative

of that. >> in true paris fashion, the roland-garros experience also includes some of the best shopping and eating in the sports world >> i'm going to drink whatever savannah's drinking. >> he's got a match, so just two rosés, please. >> cheers. >> thank you for having me on the "today" show normally i don't have rosé before work. so don't tell anyone >> well, welcome to the "today" show we do. >> that sounds good. >> i'm ready to hit the court with you, john >> let's do it >> what better way to follow a glass of rosé than some tennis with one of the greatest players of all time. >> is clay slippery? it makes me nervous. >> it is slippery. don't do your -- i hear you're a world class sprinter >> no, i'm a world-class klutz, so i'm probably going to fall. >> take little steps take little steps. i'll get a racquet and we'll play

>> should i just -- >> go ahead, go for it >> and he hits my backhand >> oh, yeah. oh, yes. >> ah! >> she's a player, she's a player hooray >> that's what you have to do on clay, not miss >> oh, you're so mean! >> i'm sorry you cannot be serious. >> hey, that will be a dollar. >> nice, another one >> yes >> how about that, john mcenroe? what?! >> are you proud of me >> i am. she can play she can play >> you made my dreams come true. thank you, john mcenroe. >> it's a pleasure >> he didn't even break a sweat. >> we're working on our french >> wow >> how about that, mike tirico is here, not for commentary on my tennis. >> oh, stop with anything you have scripted. how cool was that? that was like roland-garros and

john mcenroe in you. >> in paris. a dream come true. >> so cool >> you know how much i love tennis he is such a sweetheart. he is such a legend. he's young at heart, young in spirit he's still fierce on the court he plays on the legends tournament here at the french open >> i got to work with johnny mac a bunch. he's doing the commencement next week at stanford the kids will be so lucky to have him he's such a cool guy very impressed with your two-hand back hand >> when you know the editor, they only use a good shot. roland-garros is a great example of how paris is using what it s has. it will be the venue for olympic tennis also, i believe, for boxing, as well >> it will raise the profile of tennis in the olympics much like

in the london games, which were great, wimbledon raised it at the all-england club and the uniqueness of clay will add to it. and maybe, just maybe, raphael nidal, who is not in this year's french open, maybe that will be his last appearance on the court that he dominated unlike anyone in the history of the sport. >> it could be incredible. paris has had the olympics two times, but not for a hundred years. why was paris selected what was the draw? >> it's a little bit of leaning back it's been a century. 1900, 1924 but also as you move back to europe, london was so successful globally for the olympic games and now we go to paris and los angeles. i think that plus as we move towards a more sustainable aftermath, more sustainable footprint of the olympics, the fact that we're not building 12 to 15 venues, really just one or two, is a big reason to come back to the cities that are big enough to handle these olympic games. >> as we've been talking about, beach volleyball you can't get better than that let's talk about the athletes. because it's, of course, the pandemic delayed the 2020 olympics by a year now it's only been three years

it's a truncated cycle how does that affect them if it does at all. >> i think it does, because if you think about an olympics, and so often you have one shot at the olympics for the athletes who are primed for 2020 that had to wait until 2021, maybe they would have said enough, but because it's only three years before four years before games, i think we may pause. we may see a lot of the games that were good in 2021, i think that will ratchet up the level of competition >> let's talk about swimming that's another great sport for the olympics we all love to watch it. katie ledecky. there'll be some names we recognize. as always will be the stars. the names you don't know you're going to know. >> and each for caleb and katie, they have challengers and especially for katie, challengers who are inspired by what she has done. a young woman from canada, summer mcintosh is a prime example. she has katie's records and pictures on her wall growing up. now she's late in her teen years and has a chance to beat katie in the 400 meters. there's a lot we're going to see of the evolution and longevity

of swimming with the u.s. stars. >> mike, are you on 24 hours a day or will you rest at all while you're here? >> you guys get the better hours, but we're excited, because so many of the events will be life in the u.s. right after the "today" show, it will be the olympics, and the big events will happen during the day time the planning is beginning, it's underway and this is part of the planning, this trip. >> i like to do my planning with a glass of rosé how about you? >> i will second that. >> yes, exactly! all of our americans who are here it's going to be so fun! we're so excited mike, thank you. we're going to have fun. you can catch the women's semifinals of the french open, 11:00 a.m. eastern here on nbc save the date, book your ticket. bonjour. come to paris. come visit or watch our coverage guys, in our next half hour, we'll take you on a unique tour of another paris landmark like you've never seen it, the eiffel

tower. >> let's show folks gen this guthrie/mcenroe back and forth this was after a glass of rose you crushed it >> oh, my gosh, hardly he was sweet to me john mcenroe, when you play with a pro, they send the ball right to your rack et. >> you got a point on him and he admitted it. >> he looked rather winded too >> she's available for member guests around the country. >> we're going on the road >> mr. roker, what are we looking at, sir? >> i'm looking right here. my stunt double. i'm going to fill in for mike when he's a little winded. >> oh, you can't resist. i love you, guy. we'll see you later. let's show you what we have happening today. we are watching a little
