six hostages. nearly a million workers were on strike earlier demanding an immediate cease-fire deal to bring the remaining hostages home, and their anger is aimed not just at hamas, but also at the israeli government. overnight, israel erupting in outrage, thousands taking to the streets. some clashing with police as they blocked a highway. agony after the bodies of six young hostages were recovered from gaza, including american hersh goldberg-polin. the idf says they were executed by hamas in a tunnel beneath the city of rafa as israeli troops were closing in. prime minister netanyahu condemning what he called cold-blooded murder and vowing revenge. but many demonstrators say he's

hostage, a new yorker and idf soldier would was taken captive by hamas on october 7th. good morning to both of you. i'm sorry we are visiting under these circumstances. we were hoping the next time we were together was with your son finally coming home. i hope you'll share our condolences with the goldberg-polin family. i know you have been exchanging text messages with them. we are approaching nearly the one-year anniversary since october 7th. you last spoke to your son on october 6th. having heard the news that we just learned yesterday about hersh, how difficult has been it for you as a mom to learn what's happened to him? >> it's devastating. omer and hersh are almost the same age. we didn't know the goldberg-polins before this, but we are thinking our sons probably knew each other. rachel and john have been such a beacon of hope for us. the families of american

citizens, to have this happen now, it shouldn't have happened, you know. there is such an urgency. and i think this is a testament to that, right? if the deal had gone through, hersh would have probably been released at this point. it's heartbreaking. >> ronan, i want to ask you, your son, omer in hebrew means the first crop. he was your first born. today is the day that hersh is being buried. what is the message that keeps you going right now? >> we discuss every morning, what are we doing today to try and bring him out? it's critical that people do not forget that there are 101 hostages still left there, hostages from 24 different nations, from five different

religions. >> it is a global humanitarian crisis, not just an israeli one. >> exactly. people misunderstand the crisis. so many people from so many religions and so many countries. we have to bring them home. it's urgent. what we have seen with hersh and the other five that were other murdered, young people that were alive a few days before, amplifies the situation. >> let me ask you about the scenes we are seeing playing out right now in the streets of tel aviv and across israel. these are massive demonstrations. we have seen big ones before, but perhaps none like we are seeing right now. there is a labor strike now underway. benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister, just said yesterday he is committed to a cease-fire and getting the hostages home. are you satisfied with the commitment of benjamin netanyahu and the israeli government? >> i think it's time for action. it's been time for action for a long time now, and we're just seeing the results of

inactivity. so we don't want verbal commitments. we need to see them coming out. we need to see this war stop. >> and you spoke to jake sullivan, the national security adviser, with the other families yesterday. what, if anything, more do you want to see the american government, president biden do right now? >> i think the white house understands the urgency. i think they have been acting all along with conviction, trying to push the parties in the area to reach an agreement. i think, after what happened, it reinforces the urgency in their eyes as well, and they know that we're very close to a deal and they will do everything to bring the deal to completion. >> to you, your son turns 23 next month. he was born a month after 9/11. what keeps you strong? what gives you hope? >> the thought that he's alive and that he's waiting for us to rescue him. that's what gives me hope. >> well, we hope the next time we're together it is with him by your side.

we appreciate you guys sharing your toer -- story and speaking to us and wish you all the best going forward. all right. we turn now to the race to the white house. with just 64 days to go, the latest polls show a very light race between kamala harris and donald trump. the vice president kicking off a new bus tour this week after wading into this controversy surrounding trump's recent trip to arlington national cemetery. gabe gutierrez joins us from pittsburgh where harris will campaign alongside president biden today. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. pittsburgh is a familiar spot for president biden on labor day. this year it comes as a critical time for the harris campaign. former president trump is also expected in this crucial swing state on wednesday. this morning, with just 64 days until the election, the harris campaign is ramping up a battleground blitz, including a rare joint event with president biden later today in

pennsylvania after a stop in michigan. harris' running mate, governor tim walz heading to another crucial swing state, wisconsin. recent polling shows vice president harris doing better than former president trump nationally and in key battlegrounds by a handful of points, but within the margin of error. compare that with polling that mostly show trump with a narrow edge before biden's departure from the race. harris had not seen much of a polling bump from the democratic national convention. former president trump is hoping to benefit from the polls from an updated indictment in the federal election interference case against him and defended his actions in an interview released overnight. >> who ever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it. you get indicted and your poll numbers go up. >> reporter: harris on offense, slamming trump for disrespecting

sacred ground, all for a political stunt. her first time weighing in on the controversy over the former president's visit to arlington national cemetery. the trump campaign posted this highlight video on tiktok showing him laying a wreath in honor of the service members killed during the chaotic military withdrawal from afghanistan. federal law prohibits campaign related activities there. but the former president posting a series of videos from gold star families criticizing the biden administration. >> you couldn't be bothered to be with us or say our kids' names. >> reporter: republicans are criticizing the president and vice president for not being at the event. >> joe biden and kamala harris, where were they? joe biden was sitting at a beach. kamala harris was sitting at her mansion in washington, d.c. >> a white house official and a former aide deny the president or vice president were invited. with just eight days to go until that highly anticipated debate, vice president harris spent part of the weekend prepping for the face-off. both campaigns are at odds on

whether mics will be muted while the other candidate is speaking. >> thank you. two people dead, at least three others injured, after a man drove his suv into a crowded restaurant patio in minneapolis. police say the man initially attempted to park the vehicle, but then accelerated into the patio area of the park tavern. the driver was arrested and charged with criminal vehicular homicide. investigators were on the scene overnight trying to piece together exactly what happened there. we have a lot more to get to here, including the holiday travel rush. the airports and the roads have been packed throughout the long holiday weekend and getting home could be tricky for a lot of people, marked by traffic jams, flight delays, and some weather-related hurdles. we will get to your labor day forecast in just a moment. but, first, priya joins us from atlanta airport where it is also busy and packed. priya, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, laura. yeah, it's been a record-breaking year for travel. and this labor day weekend, domestic travel is up 9%

compared to last year, according to aaa. so if you are returning home from your labor day weekend plans, one thing i know for sure, you are going to be in good company. as people try to take advantage of the last days of summer vacation, record numbers of travelers causing lots of extra traffic and delays on highways and at airports. >> our flight is delayed at lovefield by, like, literally two hours. >> been in this uber for over an hour. we're just trying to go two miles away. send help. >> reporter: for the 17 million flying, severe weather in some areas delayed the start of the weekend's travel, canceling hundreds of flights in major hubs like new york and chicago and passengers across the country seeing more than 15,000 delays over the weekend alone. strong storms also delaying the penn state/west virginia football game on saturday. >> oh! >> and look at that. look at how they're looking at that lightning. they're like, uh-oh.

>> reporter: meanwhile, while many travelers' labor day plans were in full swing, on sunday, more than 10,000 hotel workers nationwide went on strike at hilton, hyatt and marriott chains. they're asking for better working conditions and pay. >> we're here to get better benefits, better pensions so i could retire, hopefully soon. >> reporter: some of the affected hotels plan to remain open, but say some of their services may be affected by the strike. there is a silver lining for those driving this weekend. gas prices are down. the average price for a gallon on sunday was $3.33, almost 50 cents less than last year. and if you are planning on driving home from your labor day weekend plans today, the best time to do it would be before 10:00 a.m. but if you are planning on hitting the road tomorrow, it is actually best to hit the record after 1:00 p.m. laura? >> all right. priya, thank you.

all right. let's get your forecast. dylan is in for al this morning. first check of the labor day weather. a lot of stuff on that map that doesn't look good for people trying to get home. >> especially down through texas, where we've had rain all weekend long. there is a disturbance out of the gulf of mexico. it is producing all of that tropical-like moisture. so we have heavier downpours for parts of central texas. right along the coast, near corpus christi, heavier downpours. a stalled front from the carolines to georgia, that will be an area we'll see pop-up showers and storms. here is that area of low pressure. here is the stalled front. and combined, that could increase the flood threat. houston has a chance of seeing airport delays. new orleans, basically all your airports down through florida too, and then, again, up into atlanta and charlotte, where we could see areas of delays. if you are traveling, i20 would be one of the worst roads to

travel on as far as the weather is concerned. and then into san antonio we will see pockets of heavier rain. those will be your main trouble spots for your holiday travel. we'll get to your local forecast in the next 30 seconds. .

i'll say what city hall insiders won't. we have a drug, homelessness, and economic recovery crisis, because the system that's supposed to fix things is the problem. record budgets. fewer officers. business killing bureaucracy. the insiders won't change a system built for their benefit. i'm daniel lurie and san francisco needs a mayor unafraid to take on the status quo, bring accountability, and stop the excuses.

labor day. i'm ginger conejero saab. here's a look at our top stories. san francisco 49ers rookie ricky pearsall is recovering at home after he was shot over the weekend, and city leaders are once again promising to keep people safe in union square. that is where police say an armed robber shot pearsall in the chest saturday afternoon. in a facebook post, pursell's mother says her son was incredibly lucky the gunfire missed his vital organs. police say the 17 year old suspect from tracee was also somehow shot by the same gun. he is now in custody. yesterday mayor london breed walked through union square thanking officers, vowing to do more to keep people safe. since 2021, we've had an increased presence of police officers in the union square area, which is why when this event occurred, the police responded within a minute they were within the area. so we typically especially on weekends, we have an increased police presence. but in light of the events yesterday, we've

increased it even more so to address some of the concerns that people might have. police chief bill scott says there are no signs the suspect knew who he was targeting, but the investigation is ongoing and district attorney brooke jenkins expects to file charges this week. let's get a look at our weather on this labor day with cinthia pimentel. cynthia, it's a it's a beautiful start to the holiday. it sure is. look at san francisco. low 70s there for any plans in the city. looks absolutely stunning. and then we get to some very warm temperatures in the 80s for the city. hot temp. even hotter for our inland valleys. ginger. thanks. a lot, cynthia. coming continuing to followay, we're o

>> if you need a date tomorrow, i think i'm free. >> all right. we do have a busy half hour ahead, starting with the brazen shooting in san francisco that is making headlines. >> the victim, a player for the san francisco 49ers, a promising rookie. his name is ricky pearsall. he was days away from the start of the nfl season, and now he's recovering after being shot in the chest. >> nbc's morgan chesky joins us with the latest on this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. hard to believe hard before this incident ricky pearsall was signing autographs. then in what police are calling an attempted robbery, he was shot in the chest in the middle of the afternoon in one of the most popular parts of san francisco. the frightening scene unfolding in broad daylight near san francisco's union square. stunning video capturing 49ers pearsall walking with the help of first responders moments after being shot in the chest. police say he was the victim of an attempted robbery on saturday afternoon. >> he was walking alone when the suspect approached him. >> reporter: the 23-year-old football player appeared alert as he was loaded into an

ambulance. his mother writing on social media, the bullet exited out his back and missed his vital organs. my son was spared today by the grace of god. responding officers helped keep pearsall calm after the shooting, even praying together at one point and telling him, be strong, like you're on the field. according to the san francisco chronicle. >> although the suspect is in custody, this still is an active investigation. >> reporter: police say a struggle ensued with multiple shots fired. the suspect, a 17-year-old male is in stable condition after authorities say he was shot by his own gun in the scuffle. investigators believe the teen acted alone and was not targeting pearsall because he's a professional athlete. the wide receiver was named the niners first-round draft pick with hopes to make his nfl debut next week. hours before the shooting, pearsall was seen signing

autographs for fans. he was listed in stable condition. the team announced he had been released from the hospital and continues to recover. the shooting putting public safety in san francisco back in the spotlight. according to police, violent crime, property crime and gun violence are all down so far this year. but for some, those stats don't tell the full story. >> the numbers might be showing something different, but we can only speak from our own experiences. >> reporter: now the district attorney is promising to hold the teen suspect accountable, as pearsall's family and fans are grateful a fatal tragedy was avoided by mere inches. >> and, morgan, this shooting happened obviously in the middle of the afternoon. so many witnesses and officers nearby. so what happens next in this investigation? >> investigators are combing through security videos to understand how this could have happened, given it was a busy day on the weekend, something the mayor has also pointed out here. extra police have since been

assigned to this specific area. in the meantime, officials are thanking police for their quick response, saying they reached the scene in less than a minute. in a private facebook post obtained by nbc news, pearsall's mother said her son is in, quote, good spirits. >> well, we are certainly glad he is okay. morgan, thank you. just ahead, have you seen this on your social media feeds? people raving about it do-it-yourself braces. does not sound like a great idea. what you need to know about the trend and why this dental expert is sounding the alarm. taylor swift, now oasis. trouble for ticketmaster. >> the band's highly anticipated reunion tour next year in the uk and ireland led to a new round of outrage at ticketmaster with a growing number of fans calling for more fair and transparent processes:.

more fair and transparent we are back at 7:39. this morning on "in depth today," ticketmaster is under fire again. >> tickets for that highly anticipated oasis reunion tour went on sale over the weekend. a lot of fans say they ran into problems trying to buy seats for those coveted shows. >> chloe melas is here with more. >> good morning, you guys. everyone who has ever been around an acoustic guitar is probably familiar with the oasis hit "wonderwall." the british rockers became global superstars in the '90 before splitting in 2009. now the highly anticipated reunion tour has led to a new round of outrage at ticketmaster with a growing number of fans calling for a fair and more transparent process. this morning, a new ticket debacle is brewing. >> i got kicked out again. >> reporter: just days after the surprise announcement that the brothers ended their long-time feud, announcing an oasis

reunion tour, and spending fans into a frenzy. concert ticket sales hit a sour note. leaving some fans looking for their own oasis. >> i've been in the line now for an hour and a half. there is still 14,000 people ahead of me. >> reporter: many claiming extensive waits, glitches and sky-high pricing for the concerts in the uk and ireland next year. dan walker posting on x, there has got to be a fairer, simpler, more efficient way of selling tickets. ticketmaster uk says they don't set ticket prices. promoters do. oasis can only be sold at face value, and tickets at other sites are either counterfeit or will be cancelled by the promoters. but for millions of fans, the frustration seemed familiar.

ticketmaster and live nation entertainment have faced intense criticism in recent years. many slamming the site when taylor swift's wildly popular eras tour went on sale in 2022. >> this is the biggest disaster i have ever seen on ticketmaster. >> reporter: even swift herself weighing in at the time saying, in part, it really pisses me off. prompting a high-profile congressional hearing. >> you have clear dominance, monopolistic control. this whole concert ticket system is a mess. >> and a live nation apology. >> we need to do better. >> reporter: the justice department in dozens of states filed suit earlier this year, alleging live nation had created a monopoly, causing inflated ticket prices. while some oasis fans had luck on their side this time around. >> i literally screamed. i was so excited. >> reporter: others are still

hoping for a chance to see the gallagher brothers back in action. >> i don't really want to pay retail, but i will if i need to. >> we reached out to live nation and ticketmaster for comment, but we have not yet heard back. as for concert dates, oasis hasn't added any additional shows, but they did say plans are under way for the tour to go to other continents outside of europe later in 2025. >> it is one thing to make the swifties mad. now you have made gen x mad. watch out. we have to figure out how that 5-year-old knows who oasis is. >> because her parents do. >> i play all the oldies for my kids in the car. they know all the '80s and '90s. >> dylan has a check of the forecast. >> that music is oldies now? i think '50s and '60s is still oldies. anyway, let's take a look at where we do have some of our wet weather today, trouble spots. this is a disturbance that really only has a 10% chance of becoming tropical. but it doesn't need to become tropical to produce the amount

of rain that it's going to produce. the heavier downpours could create some flooding concerns through central texas. also, down along the coast of texas, especially in the corpus christi area where we could see several inches of rain. same goes for central texas for 1 to 3, up to 5 inches of rain is possible. that could create most of our travel troubles in that area along i20 where we do have this slight risk of flooding possible. so certainly an area to watch. we're also keeping an eye on parts of the carolinas where this stalled front will continue

and that's your latest forecast. >> dylan, thanks very much. just ahead in your morning boost, we will have that. plus, emilie ikeda in paris where team usa is off to a very impressive start at the paralympics. >> reporter: hey there, peter. that's absolutely right. team usa bringing home gold in para archery, track and swimming, and it's only day five of competition. coming up, a look at the excitement on the ground here and a preview of hunter woodhall's race weeks after his wife became an olympic champion. stay with us. . rich... intensely delicious dark chocolate.
