one more day. israel and hamas extend their temporary truce for just 24 hours. but a deadly attack in jerusalem might make it more difficult to extend the truce further. as we see emotional reunions with former hostages. an "x" to grind. elon musk lashes out at advertisers -- >> go [ bleep ] yourself. is that clear? i hope it is. >> the billionaire's controversial post that sparked the exodus and how he's trying to walk it back. the life of henry kissinger, the influential former secretary of state dies at 100. a look back at his accomplishments and complicated legacy. and unleashing life. a new drug is promising to extend your dog's days. how it works. >> i'm so interested in that story. supposed to help them live

longer. but first, we'll begin with that item temporary truce. >> today's extension only happened after a last-minute deal last night just hours after that announcement hamas then claimed responsibility for a deadly shooting at a bus stop in jerusalem. three people were killed there. >> secretary of state blinken is making another diplomatic push in the region, he met with israeli prime minister netanyahu, he also sat down with palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas. >> another group of hostages has been freed today. among them 21-year-old mia. an emotional new video shows the moment her mother found out she was coming home.

>> here's the moment they were reunited. mia's mother, brother running over to hug her earlier today. >> david noriega is live in tel aviv, watches those images of mia's family, so many other families hoping desperately they'll have similar calls, similar moments of being reunited with their loved ones, where do talks to extend the pause in fighting stand now in. >> reporter: so, a little bit of context to understand where it is we stand. the israeli cabinet approved a framework for the truce agreement that would last four days and then could be extended day by day for up to ten days. we're now in day seven, or day three after that first phase of four days.

the important thing here, even though that framework allows for ten days it needs to be extended with new negotiations with every day. a release of hostages and group of palestinian prisoners. there are diplomatic efforts in doha and also happening here in israel to extend the cease-fire, efforts are trying to extend it an additional two days. last night, in the very early hours of this morning, it took that long for the extension to happen to cover this day. kate and ellison. >> david, we mentioned this incident many jerusalem that may slow things up in terms of negotiations. what israeli saying about this bus stop shooting? >> reporter: so this shooting

happened early this morning during rush hour, crowded bus stop, what police have said two opened fire into the crowd, killed three people, injured more, the shooters were shot and killed by idf reservists, as far as how this could affect this truce, that's a really good question. we know that at least for now for the time being that attack hasn't caused the cease-fire to collapse, however i can tell you i was actually in jerusalem earlier today and we went by the location of that shooting there are now signs up saying basically attacking the cease-fire agreement, saying releasing any more terrorists, palestine prisoners, will lead to more blood shed. kate and ellison. >> david in tel aviv, thank you. right now on capitol hill, debate over the resolution to expel congressman santos has begun with a vote scheduled for tomorrow. santos remains defiant stressing that he will not resign after

damming house ethics report. >> if i leave, the bullies take place. >> santos could be just the sixth member ever expelled from the house. nbc news senior national political reporter joins us now from capitol hill. santos, he just spoke on the house floor, right, is he still defending himself and are there the votes to expel him when this actually does go to a formal vote tomorrow in. >> reporter: he absolutely still is defending himself, he's trying to stave off an expulsion in what could be his last hours in the united states congress, he's accusing fellow lawmakers who want him expelled of bullying him. the other five members of congress who have been expelled from the house, has been convicted of crimes and he's not been convicted of a crime, he's under indictment on 23 counts.

and there's an ethics committee report, a bipartisan report that's damning that largely confirms the allegations in the federal indictment against him, this has led plenty of his colleagues including new york republicans on the floor leading the case for his expulsion to say, if there's enough out there definitive and proven to expel santos it will require a two-thirds. a towering figure in american diplomacy is being remembered today. henry kissinger died last night. 100 years old. one of the most influential setting of states in history also had his critics. andrea mitchell takes a look back at his life and his legacy. >> reporter: henry kissinger is being remembered as a towering figure in american diplomacy. >> i think we made further progress. >> reporter: brilliant and controversial, the former secretary of state reshaped u.s. foreign policy under presidents

nixon and ford, with nixon he helped ease tensions with the soviet union, and conducted secret negotiations with china, spearheading nixon's historic trip to china in 1972. he also negotiated an end to the vietnam war, but declared success prematurely, just days before the 1972 election. >> we believe that peace is at hand. >> those negotiations won him the nobel peace prize, but kissinger had legions of critics. some calling him a war criminal for bombing cambodia and prolonging the vietnam war. born in germany in 1923, kissinger's jewish family fled the nazis in 1938. he attended public schools in new york city, returned to germany with the u.s. army in world war ii, and later earned a ph.d. at harvard where he became a professor, attracting the attention of president nixon, kissinger first became his national security adviser, then secretary of state. the only person to ever hold

both jobs at the same time. >> there is no country in the world where it is conceivable that a man of my origins could be standing here, next to the president of the united states. >> reporter: kissinger's influence and charm made him an unlikely celebrity. he met the love of his life, marrying his wife nancy a top aide to then vice president nelson rockefeller. after leaving government, kissinger traveled the world, advising heads of state and counseling u.s. presidents of both parties. he celebrated his 100th birthday in may before returning to china, the scene of his greatest diplomatic triumph, where he received a red carpet welcome from president xi jinping. andrea mitchell, nbc news. it's time for today's cnbc money minute. a discount airline is offering buyouts to their employees the women's sports industry is winning big.

in an explosive new interview, billionaire businessman elon musk once again firing back at his critic. >> reporter: this time he's lashing out at advertisers who are pulling from his platform x, after he was accused of amplifying an anti-semitic post. >> if someone blackmails with advertiser, with money, go [ bleep ] yourself. >> a long and very candid interview with cnbc's andrew ross sorkin in new york. >> jake ward is following all of this, the potential fallout from it, but we start with emilie ikeda with what happened. for people who missed it. he didn't hold back. >> absolutely, this turned a lot of heads. this was a wide-ranging interview, lasted for more than an hour and half, candid conversation, everything that elon musk has his hands in, the tesla, spacex, when it came to the accusations around his post,

people say endorsed antisemitism on the platform, now he did repeatedly apologize and he called the post the worst post he's ever made. he also with profanity-laced message to advertisers he doesn't care about advertisers backing out. a mission statement he underscore through the interview, hate me, like me, the success of my products speak for themselves. >> he also said hi, bob, making a reference and saying hello to disney ceo bob iger, what was the reaction in that room and the industry to this interview. >> an audible gasp turning in at the moment. dramatic pause. twitter ceo yaccarino posting this overnight --

she does say to our partners those who believe in our meaningful work, thank you. musk acknowledged that an advertiser buyout could tank the company and we know that even before there was 50% decrease in ad revenue for twitter. >> jake, he's the richest man in the world, he owns spacex, tesla, what's the big picture here? >> well the big picture on the one hand twitter now x doesn't make or break his empire it has more to do with the psychological value of that property to him. according to many, many people i've been speaking to, basically point out, just the imagery that he has of himself and his desire to prevad that across the world through something like x is

under attack. why he's acting so strangly, the pressure is not only psychological but financial. he went to israel earlier this week of an apology tour for his misdeeds on x and wound up making a deal with the israeli ministry he wouldn't allow gazans to use his starlink internet connections. >> jake, just curious, have you heard from anybody who works in the tech sector and that is an effective business strategy? >> reporter: no, you don't curse out a room full of advertisers when 90 pgt of your revenue has to do with advertising. this is more self-destructive than any strategy. >> he still has his fans. >> that's why he has x to spend that time with his fans as much. as he can. which is why he's so upset he's

coming under fire here. fresh off of a very busy holiday travel period, we're getting a new look at this hour of safety on our nation's roadways. . more than half of drivers are engaging in some pretty dangerous behavior behind the wheel. tom costello has more. for drivers out here, things can go catastrophically long wrong in a matter of seconds. and we have a long road to travel with making the streets even safer. with nearly half of all drivers in a new aaa survey admitting they engage in bad behavior behind the wheel. >> it's unfortunate, because i think we do things behind the wheel of our car that we wouldn't do in line at a grocery store and lives are at stake when we're on the road. >> reporter: the national highway traffic administration, says, more than 19,000 people

have been killed on the nation's roads just in the first half of this year. an alarming rate despite improvements over the last year and a half. and the most recent data shows speed contributes to about a third of traffic fatalities. >> speed is the biggest factor we see that leads to crashes. when you throw in a lot of folks behind the road distracted, whether it's with other passengers in the car or a cell phone, that's really a combination that's going to lead to some bad things and careless things happening. >> reporter: pennsylvania state police say troopers issued more than 10,000 speeding citations over the recent thanksgiving travel period, that's up 14% from the year before. while in maryland -- >> i got hit. i need fire and rescue. >> reporter: a montgomery county police officer had to have both legs amputated after authorities say a teenager allegedly doing donuts intentionally hit the officer when he tried to stop him. aaa says while speeding is the most common behavior drivers admit to, about a third also say they've driven distracted or aggressively. >> these are behaviors that most

people wouldn't admit to a friend or a neighbor, but were willing to admit in this anonymous survey, which means that they're almost certainly underestimates of really risky, dangerous, potentially life-altering behaviors. >> reporter: tom costello, nbc news. coming up, a new study finding artificial intelligence tools seem to be promoting harmful content about eating disorders. our colleagues put the technology to the test. you're watching "nbc news daily." we're also streaming free 24/7 on nbc news now, watch us wherever you stream live, the hi, my name is damion clark. and if you have both medicare and medicaid, i have some really encouraging news that you'll definitely want to hear. depending on the plans available in your area, you may be eligible to get extra benefits with a humana medicare advantage dual-eligible special needs plan. all of these plans include a healthy options allowance. a monthly allowance to help pay for eligible groceries, utilities,

publisher, threatened action against them. the judge said, she called the sheriff to launch an internal investigation about how this happened. >> in my 25 years and brad's 27 years, no one has seen anything like this. it has unfortunately taken an extremely negative position on where this case is going and the perception that the media and the public here, the jury is going to have with regard to our client. we will have to address that issue. >> reporter: he pleaded not guilty to the stabbing of bob lee. the sister is in trouble. she was arrested on suspicion of dui after crashing a vehicle in the tenderloin. we asked the attorneys about the impact that might have on this case. they rushed off without comment about that. we do know that the trial date was set for march 15th. there will be another hearing regarding that change of venue

in migrants. the surge comes as today a federal court denied the state of texas' motion to prevent border officials from removing controversial razor wire on the u.s. side of the rio grande river. morgan chesky is near the border in san antonio, texas, and joins us now. officials have said time and time again cross spoog the u.s. is dangerous and at times begged people not to make the journey. what are officials saying right now. >> reporter: we're waiting to see the official numbers from this month of november, but when you talk to law enforcement on the border and relief workers here in san antonio, they say that these numbers are similar, the amount of people reminding them of what happened back in september, that's when we reported from the border, that

was the second highest month of recorded migrant encounters since they started keeping track, so we're anticipating the numbers to really prove this surge, but as it stands right now as you mentioned those border crossings impacted. the reasons behind people coming individual, are different for every individual, every family, we did speak to one venezuelan family dangerous as the four-month journey to make it here to san antonio shelter they would much rather to have done that instead of staying in their native country. right now, this shelter when it opened up, it was designed for 700 migrants, they've had a thousand a day now and there's real growing concern here that the resources they rely on are not in a sustainable way going forward with this current influx of migrants. >> morgan, can you talk to us

more about the human impacts that you have seen. you had some incredible reporting on dramatic rescues earlier this week. and the impact this crisis is having on other states? >> reporter: of course the video released by the texas dps marine tactical unit right in the middle of the rio grand, eagle pass, troopers were able to pull women and children, families from the water there and in some cases they had to use cpr to revive them, they were fortunate enough to say that everyone in those videos that were shared on social media survived. but as far as the individual impacts go state by state, texas and arizona certainly feeling the brunt of this latest surge of immigrants, we know that right now, the reduced traffic in both eagle pass and in lukeville, arizona, that's going stay that way, until border

patrol says these migrant numbers come down. when if ever will that be? >> morgan chesky in texas, thank you. some breaking news from capitol hill, kentucky senator rand paul was forced to perform the heimlic maneuver on senator ernst, thankfully ernst okay. again, this just happening at a luncheon today. senator erns on the left of your screen is doing fine after rand paul used the heimlich maneuver new developments in former president donald trump's legal. a judge has put the gag order back in place. the gag order prevents now what mr. trump the defense and the prosecutors can say about the

diet plan. >> reporter: research found that users on forums were openly embracing a.i. one user even commenting when these machines get good at making faces i'm going to make so many "thinspo" pics. >> what really scared us, giving them encouragement to get dangerously skinny. >> reporter: we tested out the tech, asking for a diet and fitness plans, while the bot in many cases flagged that my goals were unhealthy, it still laid out some questionable content for someone who may be looking to lose weight quickly. >> they give that blanket warning but they give the advice anyway, does that help at all? >> by then they have provided the person asking the question here's the answer, here's a

dangerous plan. they're not really that effective, but quite often we found that warning messages didn't pop up at all. >> reporter: some of the images wither blurred out, because of their graphic nature we're not showing them in full here. both open a.i. and google said they don't want their products to inspire self-harm. while snapchat said it takes safety and age appropriate content seriously. the center for countering digital hate, a simple jailbreak prompt to circumvent those and get dangerous results. snapchat, chatgpt produced harmful results. when the prompt was introduced that number rose to 67% of results containing pro-eating

disorder material. >> hello, welcome back to my channel. >> reporter: an eating disorder survivor. >> i thought a fun idea for the video, a.i. choose what i eat in the day, when it gave me the meal plan for the day it was first of all not a lot of food, but second of all, none of the meals had carbs in it. if you were searching thinspo and you see an image of somebody that's even more underweight than you or just dangerously, dangerously underweight, you're going to tell yourself, oh, i'm not actually skinny enough, i'm not unwell enough. i can do better. >> reporter: the issue of body image in girls is nothing new, a study by the journal of pediatric psychology shows 35% to 55% of girls engage in crash

dieting, self-induced vomiting, diet pills. now users are met with a blank search. and then shares resources. updated its policy to include generative a.i. for young people that might not be enough. >> figure out the right prompts to get around anything that a.i. says. you add in the secrecy with -- >> reporter: at the end of the day, os no is on the platform itself. that it gets produced in a safer way. >> two things that we need here, first of all, kurgs, you need to curate the information that goes into these systems and have guardrails. >> maura barrett, nbc news.

coming up, dog years. what if we told you a new drug could help your furry friend to live even

a story of survival that captured the world's attention

more than 50 years ago is getting a new spotlight a new netflix movie tells the story of 16 people who survived for 72 days after their plane crashed in the andes mountain. tom llamas spoke with one of those survivors. >> tonight, we have some of what very nearly amounts to a real miracle. survivors of a plane crash in the chilean andes. the plane went down ten days ago. >> reporter: when the news broke in 1972, the world couldn't believe it. >> some were injured or suffering from exposure and had to be carried out on stretchers. >> reporter: others walked right off the rescue choppers to smiles, hugs, and so many questions. how did 16 young men survive a plane crash and more than two months stranded in the mountains, surrounded by snow, with nothing to eat? a new netflix film "society of the snow" revisits the terrifying and later grim events.

starting with the crash that tore off the plane's tail and wings. >> what do you remember about the crash? >> about the crash, that i thought i was going to die. >> reporter: puerto was just 19 years old when he and his rugby team boarded that doomed flight to chile. >> was it hard to watch the movie? >> eh, yeah, because i was like immersed in that place again. i was back to the fuselage. >> reporter: though films like "alive" from 1993 have told this story before, he says, never like this. the viewers are transported to the actual site of the crash. the production actually setting up a base camp. everyone living in those extreme conditions. >> we were shooting 12,000 feet, exactly in the same place where the plane crashed, at the same time of the year.

>> reporter: the director told me that the cast and crew also relied on these photos from the actual disaster, from a camera the survivors had found onboard. >> every time you see one of those pictures, you think about who were they, what happened to them. >> reporter: in building his character, he lost 50 pounds. eating just a can of tuna and a tangerine a day. he tells me the fasting and the on-location shoots helped him understand the decisions the survivors had to make. including eating the flesh of the passengers who had died. >> talk to me about the moment that you guys decided as a group that you're going to have to eat your loved ones, your teammates, your friends, what was that like? >> i thought, if i would die, i would be proud and my body would be useful for someone else. >> reporter: in the ultimate act of selflessness, puerto eventually hiked out of the mountain range with teammate nando and announcing to the world they were alive. that teenage hero grew up to become a renowned pediatric

cardiologist, who says the time in the mountains took so much away from him, but also gave him something he keeps forever. >> about how to overcome difficulties in life and have faith in yourself. >> wow, tom llamas reporting there. tom, thank you. some huge news for dog owners now, companies might be one step closer to new drug that may keep your furry friend alive a little bit longer. valerie castro has those details. >> reporter: in a dog's world, the future is far less important than what's right under its nose. but more time with your pup, the latest goal from doggie pharma companies, that's intriguing for owners. >> he's an old soul. the more research that came out about it, i think i would be interested. >> reporter: one company is making some headway, a letter from the fda saying that the drug met one of the many
