the suspect taken into custody early this morning. >> the officer became engaged to be married four days before he was gunned down. members of the community have been laying flowers at the site he was killed. miguel, what is the sheriff's office saying about the suspect they have in custody now. >> reporter: kate, the l.a. county sheriff's office say they have their man. they recovered several firearms and the vehicle they believe was used in the murder of l.a. county sheriff ryan clinkunboomer, the arrest came 36 hours after that deputy was ambushed while on the job. yesterday, authorities surrounded the home of 29-year-old kevin salazar of palmdale, california, authorities say the suspect's family came out of his house after it was surrounded by deputies need a gas agent to force the suspect out of the home, he was then arrested and

then taken into custody the sheriff saying today they're certain they have their man. here's what he said. >> eventually family members did come out. the suspect chose to barricade himself and refuse to initially come out. he barricaded himself for several hours. investigators recovered numerous firearms and the vehicle of interest that was depicted in the flyer that we put out yesterday at our press conference. >> reporter: the suspect remains in custody and should be many front of a judge if a couple of days -- guys. >> miguel, with that said, what more have you been able to learn about the officer himself. >> reporter: he was only 30 years old, third generation law enforcement officer, both his grandfather and his father were members of the l.a. county sheriff's deputy, he was also recently engaged to be married as you mentioned at the top.

by all accounts he loved his job, his family and his new fiancee, the community has been torn apart by this loss, a young officer who was gunned down leaving his patrol station for no apparent reason. >> all right, miguel, thank you so much. five americans are on their way home right now as part of controversial prisoner swap between the u.s. and iran. >> a plane carrying all five arrived in qatar. secretary of state blinken said he spoke with them after they landed and he's grateful for their release. >> it was for them for me, an emotional conversation. it's very good to be able to say that our fellow citizens are free after enduring something that i think would be difficult for any of us to imagine. >> the u.s. is freeing five iranians and nearly $6 billion in previously frozen funds, that

money must be used the u.s. says for humanitarian reasons like food or medicine. josh, weather start with you first, you actually on the tarmac for this swap, walk us through -- >> we lost josh right there. we'll go to -- >> what happened when these americans arrived, dan? >> just really dramatic, emotional scenes, those three men walking down the steps had been in prison for years, they were setting foot on the tarmac in doha and they soon they boarded another plane, a u.s. government plane and headed on their way back to the u.s., back to washington, d.c., to be reunited with their families, so just an incredibly poignant scene there for them and at one

point you saw the three of them locking arms, together, laughing and smiling after such an excruciating ordeal and there you have five american prisoners being released in this swap deal and the one prisoner there for so long issued a poignant statement saying that this was a day of tremendous elation, but it was colored by the sorrow, he said, of knowing that there are so many other people still behind bars in iran and he paid tribute to all the political prisoners in the prison as well as so many women who have been protesting, who are now also incarcerated and he appealed for their freedom and their liberty and he also said that the u.s. and other governments have to figure out a way to inflict a cost on governments like iran

that take people prisoner really without cause or justification. >> let me ask you, dan, on that note about some of the controversy over where that $6 billion that iran's going to get in the deal is coming from, do we know where it's coming from and how does the u.s. make sure it's used for humanitarian aid? >> the biden administration says this $6 billion that iran really earned in oil revenue years ago and it was blocked by u.s. sanctions essentially in south korean banks. so part of the deal was to give iran access to the money but iran can only purchase food or medicine and if they violate u.s. sanctions the white house said they'll freeze the money again. >> we just got josh back again on the ground in qatar. what did you see on the ground there? >> you can really get the sense that these american officials

who have worked to orchestrate this prisoner swap were waiting for this moment when that plane was actually going to land, because even though all of this had been carefully choreographed, until the americans actually walked off that plane and took their first steps as free men and women, something could go wrong. that iranian officials might change their mind. there were senior diplomats who traveled to qatar, able to receive those americans on the tarmac and then as they were bringing them on the flight where they're currently heading back to washington they've had a chance to speak with president biden as well. we haven't heard in person from any of these released americans for the time being seeking privacy, we did hear from 51-year-old in a printed statement that he's issued upon

being freed, for saying for almost eight years i've been dreaming of this day. he went on the say, a painful and deep feeling of guilt for taking my breaths in freedom while so many continue languishing behind those walls and to that end we heard from secretary blinken today, other biden administration officials saying this is not the end of their efforts to bring home americans who are detained wrongfully anywhere in the world. >> dan and josh, thank you both very much. car companies and the uaw union are starting the week off with a new round of talks now but the two sides still appear too be pretty far apart. >> immaterial's simultaneously striking against the big three automakers, general motor, ford

and stellantis. maggie vespa is outside the ford plant currently on strike in wayne, michigan. what are key sticking points? the union demanding a 40% hike and stellantis, over the weekend, offering a 21% hike. fain immediately calling that a no-go. leer's more of what he had to say this morning on morning joe about the status of talks right

now. >> they'll have to address ending tiers and the pay rates, cost of living allowance, the majority of our workers now don't have any retirement security, that's a big issue, then you have our retirees and, you know, there are several issues to move on, job security issues, this transition to ev, there's a lot of concerns with this. >> reporter: the transition to ev, experts say those take less labor essentially to build and that's big long-term concern of the unions, what happens as this trend continues which is being pushed by the biden administration. lot of sticking points still to be worked out. >> maggie, four days in now, already seeing changes as a result of these failed contract talks. the ford plant, i understand it announced it's temporarily laying off 600 non-striking

workers. how is the strike affecting both sides and what's the potential impact for all of us, u.s. consumers? >> reporter: yeah, we'll start with the workers, ford is noted they're laying off the workers. a number of parts including e-coding one in particular is no longer being made as a result of the strikes. gm also saying they could lay off as many as 2,000 workers early this week. as far as how uaw is taking care of its member, they have $500 a week step end to be given to workers after the eighth day of the strike. as far as a long-term plan that

falls far short of a full paycheck. >> we'll see how long this plays out. maggie, thank you. still ahead, missing in action how a u.s. fighter jet ended up airborne without a pilot the security concerns after a so-called mishap comedian russell brand responds to emotional abuse as responds to emotional abuse as he rsv can severely affect the lungs and lower airways. but i'm protected with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd, and certain other conditions. but i'm protected. arexvy is proven to be over 82% effective in preventing lower respiratory disease from rsv and over 94% effective in those with these health conditions. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those

today planned parent hood in wisconsin is once again offering abortion services, this will make abortion accessible in the state for the first time since roe v. wade was overturned. it comes after a judge ruled back in july that centuries-old state law doesn't apply to current abortion procedures. maura barrett joins us from outside a planned parenthood clinic. it has impacts beyond the state you're in, wisconsin, can you walk us through where this all stands right now. >> reporter: yeah, i can't underscore enough how significant of a shift this is when it comes to all of the political conversation we've been having over abortion the last year and all of this stems from a law that was put in place that has hazy interpretation from 1849. the reason why it feels confident to resume those

abortion services today is because the state has a liberal leaning supreme court. the litigation is still ongoing but because they've seen that the political landscape here has shifted a little bit in a more liberal-leaning favor, planned parenthood feel confident in this decision. >> you're talking about policy, what kind of impact could have this on people, women, as well as the healthcare system in wisconsin? >> reporter: well, here in milwaukee and over in madison the planned parenthood are offerings appointments for people seeking abortions. the bigger question is around the providers. i spoke with the planned parenthood ceo here about protections on the legal side on whether or not providers can

perform these services and not get penalized. here's some of our conversation. >> we're very confident in the legal analysis around that and we thought there's no reason to wait any longer, the judge has made it very clear that statute isn't applicable to voluntary abortions. >> reporter: she emphasized there are very strict restrictions in place to go through the process to get an abortion. guys? >> all right, maura, thank you. if you're in south carolina and you happen to see an f-35 fighter jet you're asked being called to air force right away. on sunday a pilot eject prd the cockpit because what military officials called a mishap and the plane's stealth ability seemed to be working too well, the pilot is safe but the jet is nowhere to be found. courtney kubie joins us with this mystery, a picture of the

plane similar to the one in question. f-35. 64 feet long. simple question, how on earth does a plane that size disappears? >> reporter: that's the question, where is it? you mentioned it has a stealth capability, it has the ability to essentially have a adversary or on enemy on the ground. as part of it, this f-35 has a ton of classified components to it that we don't even know anything about that the military doesn't want an enemy or adversary to know about, among those capabilities it has a very strong communications system. what's confounding here the u.s. military seems to have no idea how to communicate with this missing aircraft. up in the air for nearly 24 hours at this point, based on its capabilities it's not flying

anymore at this point, it wouldn't have the fuel to continue to fly if it was on autopilot. but the military still is not saying that it's gone down or crashed on the ground. it's real mystery still, kate. >> could it land by itself? >> it has the ability to hover in when it lands. they >> courtney, catch more of her reporting tonight on nbc "nightly news." > stay with>> type 2 diabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone. ♪ ♪ i got the power of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. i'm lowering my risk. adults lost up to 14 pounds. i lost some weight.
