israel's war with hamas. overnight, israel releasing new video of air strikes filmed from a children's hospital this morning, israeli tanks on the streets of gaza city israel saying there is no cease fire. >> a cease fire with hamas means surrender to hamas. >> reporter: this explosion was next to another hospital where israel has said there is a hamas headquarters hamas accused of using civilians as human shields, accusations denied by hamas. the pictures show people killed, injured and terrified. hundreds of thousands are forced to flee from the north the daily pause announced from the white house is a continuation of its humanitarian corridors. but for the families taken in the october 7 terror attacks where 1,400 were killed, any pause is hopeful

surprise announcement from a democratic senator that could have a major impact on both sides of the aisle nbc's garrett haake covering all of it this morning good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. we are turning a now into the final sprint into the 2024 primary season as the republican field gets smaller, the stakes are just getting bigger and the party's front runner, donald trump, is showing new signs of strength against president biden. this morning after a major week in politics, the stakes raised for the 2024 election. former president trump weighing in overnight on the state of the race. >> it looks like we're number one in every poll. >> reporter: reveling in his position as the overwhelming republican front runner, which this week became even more clear despite his rivals in the

presidential debate. >> we're leading him by a lot, and we're leading biden by a lot. >> reporter: but the recent polls show trump leading biden, it was a punishing week for republicans losing key states with democratic voters energized over the issue of abortion >> we have fewer governors than when he got elected president, fewer u.s. senators, fewer u.s. house members. >> reporter: many voters still believe it is trump's nomination to lose. >> i think trump is the best candidate against biden. >> reporter: do you think he can be beaten? >> no. >> reporter: democrats also have a new 2024 challenge, maintaining their majority in the senate with west virginia senator joe manchin announcing thursday he won't seek re-election. >> what i will be doing is traveling the country and speaking out to see if there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring americans together >> reporter: it's a major setback for democrats and the president as the senator is

likely to be replaced by a republican, which could tip the balance of a narrowly divided senate in 2024 but president biden staying positive with the growing likelihood of a 2020 rematch with trump biden pushing back on recent polls that show him trailing trump in key battleground states. >> 10 polls, in eight of them. >> do you believe you're trailing in battleground states? >> no, i don't. >> reporter: now, west virginia is as red as it gets he was facing a challenge. with manchin out now, republicans likely pick up one of the two senate seats they need to flip control of that chamber. what will manchin do next? will he run for president as he's teased before sources with direct knowledge of his plans say right now nothing is off the table craig? >> all right so we will wait and see. our senior capitol hill respondent, garrett haake. despite holding interest rates steady over the last few months, the head of the federal

reserve now says he is keeping the door for more interest rate hikes. the goal is to get it to 2%. right now it is at 3.7%. so what does it mean for your wallet let's turn to christine romans good morning so i think a lot of folks were kind of hoping that this pause would eventually lead to interest rates going down and jerome powell, the head of the fed, is saying not so fast, we have not broken the back of inflation just yet. >> that's right. inflation is issue number one for american families. i mean, you know when you go to the grocery store you are paying more for milk than two years ago. you are not paying more than last year, but you still see these high prices. the fed chief also saying there have been head fakes about inflation. he doesn't want to get tricked over declining inflation rates and think their work is done this is a fed that's quite vigilant over the biggest problem around american kitchen tables, which is higher prices.

>> but it doesn't seem to be stopping the average american from spending money. folks are still shelling out cash. >> this has been the big riddle. we have been watching consumers big deep to buy things, taylor swift concerts, beyoncé concerts, stuff, couches there are probably a lot of different reasons for that they're spending money like they're optimistic, so that's part of the riddle here overall. and the consumer is really holding up the economy here at this pointy here at this point, this is something that the fed is watching. yo so that's something the fed is watching as well you don't want the economy to be too strong because that fuels more inflation so that's what the fed is grappling with here. >> trying to cool dunt economy

without dipg usping us into recession. last year, everybody smart was predicting recession has not happened yet but we want to mention the savers, the person that likes to put that money under the mattress, christine, it's your time. >> it is my time for 20 years it's been the financial engineers that have been able to make money with zero interest rates. now this is when real people can make money with their money. >> put it in a savings account. >> savers have been penalized for the last 20 years. now savers have the upper hand and borrowers do not i will warn you again about that high-interest credit card debt pay that down. put your money into a high-yield savings account. finally it is the time for regular, boring savers like us. >> exactly yeah for boredom. >> thank you, christine. meanwhile, the fbi this morning sounding the alarm over a nationwide rise in carjackings frequently playing out in scenes like this one. this was caught on camera in chicago. the suspects there are still on

the loose this morning nbc's maggie vespa joins us now with the very latest that was quite the scary scene in chicago. >> reporter: craig, that video is so jaw dropping to watch. to say the family is still in shock is a massive understatement mom and daughter were just coming home from volleyball practice last week when that carjacking played out in their own driveway unfortunately, as you will see, authorities say more and more everyone should be on alert for this kind of threat. that in mind, a quick warning, parts of this video may be tough to watch this morning, one family's nightmare serving as a warning to drivers everywhere. last thursday night, michelle pettiford and their 12-year-old daughter returned to their home in chicago when surveillance cameras caught two armed men, one in a mask, sprinting toward them. >> i think it went through my head like is this -- is this real

is this really happening >> reporter: you see them throw michelle down, grab her purse, point her guns at her. at one point one appearing to hit her. her daughter ran into the house screaming. >> you hear about blood curdling screaming. that's just something i will never forget. >> reporter: jack ran outside to help his wife. that's when one of the men put a gun to his head. turns out they wanted one thing. >> where are the keys? where are the keys and she's screaming, in my purse. >> reporter: jeff pointed them to his audi with the key fab already inside and the men drove off. the carjackers haven't been caught yet the scene marking a stunning trend. new fbi data shows while most violent crime fell last year, carjackings were up 8% from the previous year with nearly 90% of those carjackings involving a weapon one fatal flash point in d.c. where investigators say an off

duty federal security officer last month shot and killed a 13-year-old who tried to carjack him. this just weeks after a texas congressman was carjacked near the nation's capitol. >> i looked to the left, somebody had a gun to the right, somebody had a gun. >> reporter: back in chicago, stunned to learn the problem is so widespread, are afraid to go in their own backyard. >> you know, home isn't like a place of comfort and safety that it once was. which is really sad. >> reporter: going to be a long road to recovery for that family an update from chicago police. they tell us just yesterday, so a week after the carjacking, they found the pettiford's car and arrested a woman who was inside that car for misdemeanor trespassing. but, remember, there were two men in that video. they say they haven't yet caught those carjackers craig? >> we hope they found them

maggie vespa for us in chicago. much more to get to, including the push to get hollywood back on track. sag actors national board to vote on agreement. chloe is here with more. >> good morning. specific details about this new deal are being kept under wraps, we know the sag-aftra what its leaders are calling a big deal with artificial protections as the tv and film industry gets ready to roll. with the stage set for hollywood to get back to work, new details have emerged about the tentative deal reached between sag-aftra and the amptp that represents studios and streamers. nbc news learned from sources familiar with the contract, which will be voted on today by the union's national board, that it includes the largest minimum wage increase in 40 years. the new residual instructor for streaming and for the very first time ai protections for members. the deal will also raise pension

caps and include new guard rails against self-taped auditions the president fran drescher called the proposal triumphant. >> it is the largest package in our industry history. >> reporter: hollywood's biggest stars celebrating the end of the 118-day work stoppage. posting, congrats to all involved kevin bacon posting a "footloose" celebration of his own. with the longest strike in hollywood history over, the spotlight now on the mad scramble to get productions back up and running a number of blockbuster films have already been pushed back. "doom 2," which was supposed to hit last week is set to hit theaters in march. delayed from march of next year to june 2024 and "mission impossible 8" has been bumped from june to may 2025 meanwhile, tv's time line for a return is sliding into next year. >> hammers will probably start

rolling as soon as early next week but unlikely to see any new episodes much before january >> reporter: deadline reports wolf entertainment, the company behind "law and order" and "chicago fire" could start production soon after thanksgiving but only put out 13 episodes that abbreviated season likely to become the new norm for network shows looking to get air. hollywood won't be back overnight. even if scripts are ready to go. because there is so much logistical planning. plus, some actors have multiple projects which ones will take precedence first. but one of the most immediate impacts we are seeing as this strike ends is that actors are already posting about upcoming projects for the very first time since july all of this hinges on the board voting on this deal, which is taking place later this afternoon when the details of this deal will finally be made public we will see those protections

around artificial intelligence and all of that we'll be able to dive into and tell everyone more. >> that is an exciting afternoon for chloe melas. >> enjoy your weekend. speaking of the weekend, how are we looking as we head into the weekend? for that we turn to our guy, mr. roker. >> i know you will be looking good. >> oh. >> as a good-looking guy but texas to the mid-atlantic, wet weather. this system is pushing in. heavier showers and thunderstorms down to the south. this storm system will be part of a complex two low pressure systems pushing to the east with a frontal system attached to it. heavy rain from brownsville through corpus christi to today. tomorrow showers continue to the southeast. parts of that into southern texas will see heavy rain also into the southeast for the day on into saturday, we're looking at the heaviest rain from houston to brownsville with showers and thunderstorms the rest of the country today. showers in the mid-atlantic.

food banks in chicago and here in new york delivering turkeys to families in need just in time for thanksgiving. so many families, in fact, we're hoping to set a guinness world record. it will be an inspiring way to start the week. let's get right to our news at 8:00. israel launched new air strikes in gaza overnight. but it agreed to humanitarian pauses. that move could provide relief to civilians in the war zone. and to families of hamas hostages. keir simmons joins us from jerusalem this morning. keir, good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah, good morning to you. i think the hope for those hostage families here in israel and around the world whose loved ones were taken on terror attacks where 1,400 people died is the way the white house is talking about this, talking about it as a significant first step. being clear, frankly, that it does hope for more than just a four-hour pause per day. but listen to the israelis. we haven't heard so much detail from them. they are being more cautious in

the way they describe them talking about tactical and localized pauses. both the white house and the israelis agreeing that this is not a cease fire. and as you mentioned at the top there, savannah, we have seen more of that today. explosions around hospitals, around gaza city. the hospital according to world health organization, suffering a bombardment. that hospital in the past has been accused, it has been said by the israelis that it has housed a hamas intelligence base. hamas held vigils there and have denied that. meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of palestinians have been fleeing the north, heading south. and the israelis say that these pauses will be humanitarian corridor, perhaps two humanitarian corridors. so a bit more of a picture there of what israelis are opposing,

saying it isn't so much of a change from recent days. the white house and hostage families will be hoping for more for days to come. >> thank you very much. now to some shocking video that shows a car ramming into sheriffs deputies yesterday in what sheriffs are calling an intentional act of violence. we do want to warn you this video is disturbing. a woman called to report her son was having a mental health crisis. deputies found him in his car unwilling to cooperate. the suspect drive off but returned moments later and slammed his car into the victims. responding officers used tasers to subdue the man. both officers were seriously hurt. but, thankfully, they are expected to survive. all right. now to a new study that has the u.s. rethinking the meaning of a good night's sleep. it has often been defined as 7 to 9 hours of shut-eye. but the new research published in the journal "sleep" says

going to bed and waking up at the same times matters more than how long you sleep. it found getting 6 hours of sleep with a consistent schedule, that's the key there is associated with a lower risk of early death. dr. carol ash, a sleep expert from ryb. of course we don't want health, so we will get 6 hours at the scheduled time. but explain to me the logic here. >> we used to say, as you said, duration matters. because it increases inflammation in the body and leads to high blood pressure. but what we now know, this is the first study that showed that a consistent schedule, because it keeps the control of the body in the clock in the brain regular, right? and that's really important for many reasons. >> so it's less about how long you sleep, more about how consistently you sleep. so what about people who have, you know, for example, they work in the middle of the night but on the weekends they have a normal schedule. is that dangerous for them? >> well, you know, fortunately

in today's times a lot of people are working shift work and regular schedules. what that means is that internal clock is misaligned with the external cues. not just the light but also when you eat, when you exercise. and the brain needs those cues to keep it regular. so when you're not going to bed at the same time and not getting up, it suggests that that clock is out of sync. it's disrupted. its schedule is off. >> just so we understand this. when you say go to bed at the same time, give me a window here. do i have to go to bed at 9:00 every night. or 9:00 one night and 9:30 the next night, is that okay. >> a one to two-hour window. when you go to bed at night, it depends on your type. the night owls, the morning larks. some people a little later, some people a little earlier. but you have to keep it consistent. even if you said, like you said, six hours but a consistent schedule more important than

that duration because development of the brain, all your physical health and longevity depends on it because of that control of the clock. >> got some tips for us for folks that may be watching or listening who want to be consistent but who have a hard time doing it. >> well, again, keep your schedule consistent with your sleep type. when do you prefer to go to bed and get up? set an alarm one hour before that time and put away your phone. and avoid screens an hour before bedtime because that will stop you from falling asleep. and expose yourself to light in the morning. those are some of the best things you can really do to keep that clock set. >> you are telling us to set our alarms for 4:00 a.m. on saturday and sunday? >> that's right. >> here's your study. dr. ash, thank you so much. frank borman is being remembered as a hero. former commander of the apollo 8 flight that first orbited the moon on christmas eve and christmas of 1968, snapped that iconic photo of the earth rising over the lunar scape. he ended with the words merry christmas and god bless all of

you, all of you on the good earth. borman died this weekend. he was 85 years old. >> oh, man. yeah. just ahead, taylor swift's international era. carson is taking us into the overnight return of the superstar's record shattering tour. but, first, we will introduce you to an inspiring army veteran motivated by his own experience who does incredible things for disabled people all over the world. tom costello will share his story as we celebrate all servicemen and women. and we'll do that right after this. shop specially marked boxes of chex cereal today.

kind of in the background. >> but someone else did take notice, rockefeller center's head gardener. >> he pulls up the car, a guy gets out my name is eric. i'm the head gardener from rockefeller center i'm here to look at your tree. i was like, do you like understand how crazy you sound right now. >> they couldn't have known he is a rockefeller plaza legend, having discovered each tree for the last 30 years. >> i googled him and realized and i quickly text him back, this is legitimate we thought they were dating a lot of other trees, that maybe ours would be considered and then as the date got closer and closer, we realized we probably did have the rockefeller center tree. >> they knew they wanted to be part of this special tradition, donating the tree they hope brings joy during a busy and sometimes emotional season. bu sometimes emotional season. >> this is not about us, but it

is about being of service to other people, giving them that chance to go and make memories >> this is not about us, but it is about being of service to other people, giving them that chance to go and make memories by the tree. and for those, like us, who have had loss, to go back to that space and remember the people they love. >> they will be remembering matt's mother who passed away four years ago. >> i think she would think it is the coolest thing. i keep having this feeling of who am i not telling about this. there is somebody that i feel like i ought to tell and it's her, you know i was able to reach out to her best friend. and that person will be with us on the day of the cutting. >> their two kids will be at the tree cutting, too. zoe age 12 and charlie age 9 admit the hardest part of the whole process was keeping their tree star status hidden until the official reveal. >> i'm really bad at secrets, but i have been able to keep this one. >> the tree stands 80 feet tall. it will arrive in this very spot this weekend with a full police escort
