hi, everyone. i'm zinhle essamuah. >> and i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right

now. today, wednesday, november 22nd, breaking news vehicle explosion on the border. the fbi investigating a car explosion on the united states border with canada, two people confirmed dead. we'll have the latest details. freed from hamas, we're just hours away from first hostages being released from gaza. what we know about who will be released including how many americans are among them. getaway day the weather is wreaking havoc on one of the busiest travel days of the year. and tech turmoil. sam altman now back as the ceo at the company leading the a.i. revolution. thanks so much for being with us on this busy day. breaking news. >> we start with breaking news at the u.s.-canada border, authorities investigating the explosion of a car at the rainbow bridge, a vehicle, in

niagara falls. >> we got reports of an explosion at the bridge which connects the united states and canada. >> we believe it happened earlier this morning, four law enforcements telling nbc news there are two deaths as a result of that the explosion apparently happened at a security checkpoint, a vehicle crashing into it at a high rate of speed. let's go to nbc news correspondent kathy park. and we also have frank figluzzi with us. >> reporter: kate, you mentioned the vehicle was traveling into the u.s. on the rainbow bridge and niagara falls traveling at very high rate of spoed and eventually hit the checkpoint structure. exploded. right now officials are reporting two people inside that vehicle are now confirmed dead, also a cbp officer was injured

because of the blast, after initial search, they didn't find a secondary explosive device and still unclear whether this was intentional or not, still a lot of questions on that front. meanwhile, security has been heightened throughout that area especially in erie county, all western bridge crossings between the u.s. and canada have been closed. also some county buildings in that area closing early out of an abundance of caution. security at buffalo international airport, a very busy travel day, we also learned they're heightening security there, they're making sure that all the cars going into the airport undergo security checks, but we know according to the tsa nationwide they're monitoring the situation, but they have not changed their posture as to what heir doing at other airports across the country. i'm sure a lot of folks are

concerned and possibly worried, you know, bas on what they're seeing happening here in new york, but we had a chance to hear from witnesses on on the ground who saw the explosion. take a listen. >> we were walking up the road and we'd seen this vehicle coming down toward the border, he was flying, over 100 miles per hour, he swerved out, went in front car, hit the fence, up into the air, an elevation, he went up into the air. a fireball. i have never seen anything like this. the fire was so high up in the air. >> reporter: once again, heightened security but also a lot of movement as far as law enforcement goes, fbi is on the scene right now, they're also bringing in reinforcement, the governor of new york she's in en route to buffalo to meet with law enforcement there. >> kathy, we've heard from new

york-area lawmakers as well as canada's justin trudeau who called this is a very situation. i want to bring in frank figliuzzi. it's the day before thanksgiving, the israel-hamas war, we don't want to speculate about a motive, what law enforcement officials telling you? >> yes, we have more questions than answers right now. but there's enough here to actually have an intelligent discussion about this and most of it is coming from nbc news sources. sources are reporting that for now there appears not have been evidence of explosives in this vehicle, eyewitness accounts say the fire, the explosion happened after the vehicle crashed into

the customs facility. why is that important? because it makes a little bit less likely that this was a vehicle borne ied, improvised explosive device that was designed to detonate in some kind of planned attack versus a car accident that caused a fire and then perhaps a gas tank explosion. that's where we're at right now, all of this could change as further forensics and examination is done, but i'll also rule out that as you said, the times we're living in, where seemingly days ago the director -- fbi director wray testified on the hill to a very increased concern and threat environment over what he called inspired acts of terrorism based on the hamas-israel war going on. and his concern that lone actors or small cells could act out without really being on the

radar screen for law enforcement. that's why you're seeing all the response the fbi response, the closure of borders because we simply haven't figured out whether this is an inspired act or a tragic accident that occurred. we know right now that police telling nbc news sources no evidence of explosive ins this vehicle and we know two people who occuied the car are deceased. one cbp officer has minor injuries at the scene. as a result we'll have to figure this out. the good news is, i think this will be fairly figured out very quickly. i.d. out of that vehicle. there will be some closure and it won't take weeks, it might take hours or day.

>> let me bring in ken dilanian. ken, i know the president's being briefed, the attorney general has been briefed, what are you hearing from -- you have so many sources -- what are you hearing from federal officials? >> reporter: that's right, kate the u.s. government the canadian government, state and local authorities are taking this very, very seriously for exactly the reasons that frank mentioned, the heightened state of threat and the suspicious nature of this incident so as frank said, our reporting was this wasn't a car bomb, an important conclusion, because initially this seemed pretty bad, big explosion, what hasn't been determined whether this was an intentional attack that's exactly my law enforcement sources is being thoroughly investigated right now and they're taking it, again, extremely seriously and they're very cautious.

they're investigating whether this was an intentional attack. we're starting to get witness accounts of the behavior of the driver and it seems hard to believe that it could have been an accident. but stranger things have happened. lot of bizarre accidents have happened. incidents of people using vehicles to kill americans in terror attacks, so both things are possible, both things are being investigated. >> frank, notably you said you're hopeful this might be resolved not in weeks or months but hours, what 's the process right now between federal and local law enforcement? >> because this is involving a border crossing because we have cbp officer injured, the assumption nowadays that this is terrorism until it's ruled out as not terrorism you'll see the fbi take the investigative lead. they'll work closely with their canadian partners, by the way.

the fbi buffalo field office does work with the canadians every day and there's an fbi presence in the u.s. embassy in ottawa, so it's all there. and they're going to be tracing the car and the people in the car back as quickly as possible. latest information that tom winter reported was that the vehicle through video appears to been on on the american side of border, there may be deliberate turned backward, turning around toward the you u.s. inspection facility, if that's accurate, i realize it's early, that makes things even more mysterious, if you're already across the border you're not intending to cross the border you're on the u.s. side and you make a beeline at high speed for this inspection building that seems quite odd and this could be someone who's

an lone or two lone actors who are inspired by the middle east situation. >> frank, stand by for me. do we still have ken dilanian with us? ken, i want to put this to you, i think that may have been guidance but not a firm thing we know, do we know what side of the border the vehicle was coming from. >> what was frank is talking about what the video shows once it was inside the checkpoint and potential turn the driver might have been taken. >> we'll ask our control room to get us that video as fast as they can. we're joined by senior white

house correspondent kelly o'donnell, of course the president has been briefed or is being briefed, what is the white house saying about all this? >> reporter: well, this has been a day where there's a lot of moving parts on the president's plate, he's spoken to the prime minister of israel and qatar relating to the hostage deal to free 50 hostages. he's dealing with that. now at the same time he's also been brought up to speed by white house officials on this incident, the attorney general has been briefed the transportation secretary has been briefed and at this point, information is coming in from federal and state officials through the white house mechanism to brief the president on what this situation looks like at this point. of course we're here on nantucket where the president is spending the holiday with family and so forth. wherever he goes and travels he's got his senior team of advisers who can brief him on international and domestic

affairs and that's part of what has happened here, secured communications and so forth and speaking to word leaders today and now has been brought up to date on this situation between the u.s. and canada border that you've been talking about, we'll keep you posted as we learn more. >> appreciate it. kelly o'donnell, kathy park, and ken dilanian, thank you all. we'll continue to monitor this ongoing situation, we're also working on that video that ken mentioned a moment ago, we'll have that for you a bit later in show. again if you're just joining us a car explode and the u.s. a car explode and the u.s. cana da when moderate to severe ulcerative colitis takes you off course. put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when i wanted to see results fast, rinvoq delivered rapid symptom relief and helped leave bathroom urgency behind. check. when uc tried to slow me down... i got lasting, steroid-free remission with rinvoq. check. and when uc caused damage rinvoq came through

arrested leon butler. he has pled not guilty and remains in federal custody. street vendors are speaking out against a possible ban in the mission district. the city suggested a 90-day ban last month. that moratorium was supposed to go into affect at the beginning of this month. it got pushed back twice and is now expected to start this coming monday. this morning, permitted vendors gathered outside of the bart station asking supervisors to delay that ban once again. some 400 residents at a high-rise will spent another holiday elsewhere. the building flooded in june of 2022 when a water main ruptured. a year and a half later, the building isn't ready for people to return. it needs a final inspection which will happen next month. that's when the residents will get a better idea about the time line for returning. it won't be before the end of this year. it's the day before

thanksgiving. you won't be roasting today like the turkey, but you won't be freezing either. here is kari hall with our forecast. >> we will see a mix of sun and clouds today and some of the warmest weather will be in the south bay to the south county, with highs in the mid 70s there. for the rest of the bay area, expect upper 60s. overall, a pleasant day heading into our thanksgiving holiday. there will be a quick moving cold front early in the more thanning that could bring in spotty showers nearby. i think most of the bay area will remain dry and our temperatures back up to near 70 degrees throughout the day. then we will have cooler conditions on friday into the weekend. our temperatures in the 60s is what we will see as we go beyond this forecast. we will take a look at our seven day forecast and what to expect as you kick off the holiday shopping coming up in 30 minutes. >> thank you. enchant christmas is returning for a second year. it will open friday and be open

obtained this new video showing the vehicle that caused the explosion earlier today. if you look at the top of your screen you can see that car traveling very fast and even appearing to go airborne at this point we know two people inside that car have died. after they crashed into a security checkpoint. >> let's bring in stephanie gosk who's been following this, can you talk about that new video we're looking at and what are we looking at in terms of location? ? >> reporter: this car was coming from the canadian side of the border, it appears to at really high speed hit a median and go airborne and as you mentioned the two people inside died in what turned into a fiery explosion and we have pictures of that explosion, you know utmost right now, the question on everyone's mind is, was this terrorism? really important to say at this point, we just don't know, we haven't heard that from officials. they're looking into a motive. what we do know from senior law

enforcement officials is that there was not a second explosion or secondary explosive in the car. but they're looking into the motive at this point. they'll obviously have pictures of this car, of the license plate, there's probably a good deal of information that we don't know yet. we also know that officials are being briefed including president biden and new york governor hochul and even the new york city mayor, the prime minister of canada has also been briefed, justin trudeau made public comments earlier. >> additional measures are being contemplated and activated at all border crossings across the country. we're taking this extraordinary seriously. >> reporter: at least four border crossings at this point have been closed. we also heard from our colleague tom costello about the tsa and

if they changed anything. they have not. we're waiting to see and hear more from officials at this point. >> steph, you said there's still so much we still don't know. we heard from the canadian prime minister not so long ago, what's the general sentiment we're getting from officials right now happening a day before thanksgiving as well as during the israel-hamas war. >> again, wait and see, but you can tell by the list of people who have been briefed on this matter including the new york city mayor, clearly there are concerns about terrorist attacks in this country, on that heightened state of alert, you have the macy's thanksgiving day parade taking place here in this city and what we know about that, separate from this, again it's important to make that point, nobody's making the connection at this this point, but this's a heightened state of security in new york city because of that event. no specific threats. concern there could be lone wolf

actors, a concern ever since the war kicked off between israel and hamas. the other concern is that al qaeda online has been calling on people to attack americans as well, all of this together with this news at the canadian border putting that heightened state of alert, you know, even higher at this point. >> steph, i want to play a sound we got a bit earlier who was an eyewitness. >> we were walking up the road and we've seen this car coming down towards the border. and he was flying. over 100 miles an hour. there was a car in front of him. he swerved out. went in front of the car. hit the fence, went flying. up into the air. hits -- i think there was an elevation and then the fireball. the fire was so high up in the air. >> so, steph, from one person at least confirmation that it was

traveling really fast and you can tell from that video we're looking at, too, we don't know why that car was traveling so fast. >> right, you can only imagine how dramatic it was to actually witness that, to be on the ground and see that, i mean you could tell the eyewitness a little shaken up over just having watched that car fly the way that it did and you know the subsequent explosion seeing all that had to been incredibly dramatic, that explosion, you know, look, there's a lot of security obviously at border crossing, at will of cameras at border crossings, for sure there's more video of what happened at this scene that law enforcement, we know the fbi is there as well right now, they're poring over to try and get some answers to some of these questions, we'll have to wait for their briefings on the matter. >> thank you so much. we turn now to agonizing

wait for families of hostages after israel and hamas agreed to a pause in fighting and the truce is expected to begin tomorrow morning. key point if the deal, 50 women and children will be released by hamas, including at least three americans, in exchange israel will free 150 palestinian prisoners, a four-day pause in fighting, however it could be extended by one day for every additional ten hostages that hamas releases. . >> hundreds of aid trucks will also be allowed into gaza. hamas says the pause will start tomorrow around 3:00 a.m. teern. prime minister netanyahu spoke with president biden to thank him. >> since the outbreak of the war we are indeed taking action con condition substantiately in order to bring them back home. to bring them all back home. when i saw all i mean all of

them. >> we've got an nbc news foreign correspondent erin mclaughlin. >> reporter: here in israel the families of more than 230 hostages are all tonight asking the same questions, will my loved one be release snd on the hand of this woman, her ex-husband, her 11-year-old son and her 16-year-old daughter were kidnapped and brought into gaza, she has not heard from them since, she was telling me just how desperate she is for any piece of information. i asked, when will she know. she said i'll know when i hug them. do you know -- >> i don't know. i know at the moment i see them and hug them, then i know my nightmare is finished.

unlikely to be released and is tomorrow, this deal is restricted to women and children only. but she said her hope is that this deal will lead to subsequent deals so that her family can be reunited. in terms of what to expect for tomorrow, there will be a pause in hostilities scheduled for 10:00 a.m. local time. and from there, the icrc will facilitate that hostage exchange, hostages will be brought into israel, once they are in israel only then will their families be mote mied that they have been released and only then will the palestinian prisoners be exchanged, this is expected to play out over four days with the possibility of an extension. back to you. >> all right, erin, thank you. high-stakes drama playing out in the tech industry today, one of the key figures in the

world of artificial intelligence sam altman is back at the company he helped create. overnight he reached an agreement to return as ceo to openai, the company responsible for chatgpt. only a few days ago that altman was abruptly was kicked out by the company's board. >> elon musk facing a major backlash from advertisers. over concerns about elon musk and the spread of antisemitism on the platform. >> we bring in jake ward, a couple of really big stories here, let's start with the controversy surrounding elon musk and x, formerly known as twitter, the company now suing media matters which is progressive watchdog group after it published a report showing that ads on x were being placed by pro-nazi posts. >> reporter: at this hour, kate, we know that this all began last wednesday when elon musk

seemingly embraced anti-semitic conspiracy theories, endorsed one post, that set off a fire storm of backlash. musk has been complaining that the platform is treated unfairly. now, he's taking on immediate what matters in this report has shown that time and again people experienced certain terrible content next to very well established brand advertisers, now elon musk, they say it's an unfair comparison. it's not a well established study. all of that will be sorted out in the future. immediate what matters says this is an attempt to bully critics of the platform after a period of, you know, showing that real

terrible stuff has been moving across it and whatever protections that used to be in place at the former twitter seem to have been disassembled at x. >> sam altman is set to return to openai, after he was oust bid the board. employees of openai didn't like him. he's going back. why did this all matter for us who have nothing to do with the tech industry? >> reporter: we only experience the chief projects of openai, that's chatgpt, the thing they're best known, openai was created to be a kind of alternative company. the whole notion was to create this kind of place that was sort of altruistic, motivated by the betterment of humanity. when a fight broke out by the

board and sam altman over questions around that, then it all went sideways, now sam altman has managed to get back in position with a board that he has agreed to and he's firmly enskonsed in that place as ever. coming up the holidays can be a lot for all of us, especially kids. when it comes to gathers with family and friends.

in today's modern parenting we're focusing on teaching kids how to set their own healthy boundary gls whether it's saying no to hugging a relative at thanksgiving or asking them to stop teedzing them, important for kids to understand what boundaries are. >> joining us now is amy moran. amy, good to see you. just teaching kids how to set their own personal boundaries, what does that mean? >> so we want to tell them they can speak up. so we might start doing that by teaching them that they have options. so if there's an unwanted touch they can speak up for themselves or they can speak up if they're feeling excluded.

we can also use boundaries to teach kids self-respect, the kid who has really good boundaries knows that they can ask for what they need and they can speak up when something doesn't feel right and teaching them healthy boundaries teaches them to respect other people so that when maybe they're teasing a friend and they think it funny and the kid says stop. >> practical examples to set a personal and physical boundary. >> sure, we want to toech our kids that it's okay, i don't want to be tickled right now, whether it's an aunt or uncle who thinks it's funny. we give them some choices, do you want to give your aunt and uncle a hug? they have a choice. instead of blaming the other person, we want kids to speak up

and say i feel frustrated right now. they're taking personal responsibility for their feelings. >> just lastly, if parents want to encourage their kids to speak up, if they do feel like a boundary is being crossed how do we teach them that. >> when it's appropriate to speak up. we want a child who can maybe speak up to a friend and say, it's my turn. you don't want a kid who argues with an umpire. then we also want to make sure they have specific phrases they can use, like, it's my turn now, or i don't like that, or please stop. those simple phrases can go a long way. and help them figure out when they should z a grownup for help. make sure they know they can turn to a trusted adult to say i need some help over here. >> can demonstrate those healthy boundaries at home, too.

>> whether if the child refuses to stick to the boundaries. >> again, it comes down to making sure you have rules for your kids, when i tell you go to bed that's not a boundary but a rule. when your door is closed we'll knock on it. if someone is going to borrow something in the house you should ask first. we're respecting people's privacy, too, we're modeling for them how to set healthy boundaries. >> amy morin, thank you so much. we appreciate it. if you're planning on watching tomorrow's macy's thanksgiving day parade, there's a musical duo you want to watch out for. >> a big sister and a little sister who said being part of this year's event is extra special. >> reporter: they're not related by blood.
