saying. but if you want to get a real sense of where things seem to be heading here, you can look at what israel is actually doing. i am now in an underground bunker, a medical facility three levels down below the main hospital in the northern israeli city. starting yesterday, israel began moving all the patients in the hospital to this underground facility. it is a -- it is the first time israel has done this since the facility was built nearly 20 years ago. it seems to be a clear indication that israel was bracing for a wider war. the israeli military says its jets targeted hezbollah positions this morning. more than 80 air strikes hit the western valley and southern lebanon. the israeli military also released this video claiming it prevented hezbollah from launching a powerful cruise missile at israel. asked when he's worried about

rising tension in the middle east, president biden saying -- >> yes, i am. but we will do everything we can to stop a wider war from breaking out. >> reporter: in beirut as hezbollah buried one of its top military leaders yesterday killed by the intense attacks on the lep niece capital, hezbollah says it's ready for a new open-ended war. this weekend, hezbollah launched more than 100 rockets, drones and missiles at northern israel. most of them shot down by israeli defenses, but a few made it through. hezbollah rockets hit these homes, causing extensive damage, and now israel is bracing for an escalation, ordering all schools closed and declaring this entire area a no fly zone. >> reporter: elon was at home near the blast and told me he ran to his shelter with his five-year-old granddaughter and that the girl and nearly everyone else in the village has left. from a balcony upstairs, you can see the crater where the rocket

exploded in the middle of the street. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel is now shifting focus to hezbollah. we hit hezbollah with a string of strikes it didn't imagine. if hezbollah didn't get the message, i promise you it will get the message, he said. netanyahu hinting at responsibility for audacious attacks on hezbollah last week when thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies used by the group suddenly exploded, a plot one u.s. official described to nbc news as james bond style. even though this facility is underground, it is state-of-the-art. they have operating facilities here. four babies have been born already since yesterday. it's about 15 acres of underground wars. lebanon has nothing like this. the u.s. state department is urging americans to leave the

country. >> richard, thank you. given those rising tensions in the middle east and around the world, the annual un general assembly here in new york could be one of the most contentious in years. nbc's stephanie gosk joins us with a closer look at the largest gathering of world leaders and the increased security presence there as well. first of all, good morning to you, steph. how are authorities preparing? >> reporter: well, good morning, craig. this is arguably the most complicated security operation anywhere on the planet. you have more than 140 world leaders converging on this very small space on the east side of manhattan. there is a huge security presence, as you would imagine. most visibly, you have the nypd. they've blocked off roads, set up barriers. a number of their vehicles are here. but there's also security that can't be seen. you have snipers on rooftops and you also have drones. among the agencies on the ground here, the u.s. secret service, which as you know has been under a lot of pressure and scrutiny

following those failed assassination attempts on donald trump. attempts on donald trump. on the ground, there is a command center, so representatives from every single one of those agencies will be in there. it will be monitoring events on the ground, responding and coordinating their responses in real-time, craig. >> steph, oftentimes when we see these gatherings, there are protests. are we expecting the same here as well? >> reporter: absolutely, craig. it's a huge concern for them because since the october 7th attacks, there have been more than 4,000 protests here in manhattan. it's not just the israel/hamas war. you have russia's invasion of ukraine and then just generally an increase in domestic violence in this country. and that's why law enforcement is saying although this event happens every single year, the challenges this year are unique. days to look forward to that are particularly notable, you've got president biden tomorrow speaking in front of the general assembly.

then on thursday, you have both the israeli president, benjamin netanyahu, as well as the palestinian president on the same day giving speeches, craig. >> thank you. let's turn now to the race to the white house. 43 days to go. in a new nbc news presidential poll shows a major reshaping of the race with vice president harris now leading. but former president trump is scoring high with voters on key issues. we have two reports. we're going to start with nbc's senior correspondent hallie jackson. good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, hoda. good morning to you. new numbers out now show the vice president has momentum nationally, but former president trump showing strength in some key battlegrounds, meaning, this race remains extremely competitive with new questions this morning on whether the candidates will face off in their second debate, one harris wants but one trump does not. the kickoff to a six-week sprint before election day with vice president harris ramping up the

pressure on trump to debate her again after she agreed to a second face-off in october. >> i would like another debate. we have a lot more to discuss. >> reporter: mr. trump so far has not accepted. and in a new interview, he's pledging if he loses the race this time, he will not run again in 2028. >> i think that will be it. i don't see that at all. hopefully we're going to be successful. >> reporter: mr. trump has repeatedly refused to accept his legitimate 2020 loss. now facing a double-digit gender gap, mr. trump is trying to make an appeal to women. >> women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. you will no longer be thinking about abortion because it is now where it always had to be, with the states. >> women, we love you. we're going to take care of you. >> reporter: notably absent on

that stage at the campaign rally in north carolina, the state's republican candidate for governor, mark robinson, as four of his top staffers, including his campaign manager, are resigning just days after explosive allegations reported by cnn that robinson made racist and lewd comments on a porn site, which he dendenies. mr. trump making no mention of him saturday. his running mate, jd vance in pennsylvania, asked by nbc philadelphia if he believed robinson's denials that he made the posts. >> i don't not believe him. i don't believe him. i think you have to let this >> reporter: it comes as a new poll shows vice president harris leading former president trump by five points, within the margin of error. but it also shows the vice president still trails mr. trump on the key issues of securing the border and the economy. now, both candidates, of course, are focusing on key swing state this week. mr. trump set to visit georgia and michigan. vice president harris heading to arizona and nevada. and both have the all-important

trip planned to battleground, pennsylvania, hoda, something you will see a lot of over the next sick weeks. >> thank you so much. let's dig into that new nbc poll that hallie just referenced. here to do that, of course, steve kornacki. steve, always good to see you here. let's start with the headlines here. what strikes you? >> yeah. i mean, it is that five-point advantage we have in this poll for harris over trump. just to put that in some perspective, we have been polling the 2024 race now for over a year. this is the first time we polled it with harris and trump. look at the change here. big picture. when biden was the democratic candidate, look, we can go all the way back a year. these were all of our polls when it was trump versus biden, trump basically leading in all of them and one tie, and now here's harris with a five-point advantage. it just, i think, illustrates big picture how dramatically this race changed when joe biden dropped out and kamala harris got in. >> one of things that seems to be striking for a lot of folks, for a surge in popularity, what do we know about what's behind this apparent increase in popularity for the vice

president. >> it's interesting because when harris got in the race, you may remember her poll numbers did not look that good. a lot of people were saying, is this going to help democrats at all? is it going to change anything? positive or negative? look at the major names there. there is harris with the highest positive score. harris 48%, 45%. when we first polled harris as she was about to get in this race -- this was back in july -- this positive number for her was just 32 points. so he's jumped 16 points. not much movement anywhere else. then there is also just this, asking folks about who represents change better. and this is striking in our poll. harris more than tripled. she's the incumbent vice president in an unpopular administration. >> let's look at the republicans right now. in terms of the former president, where is he strong? where might he be a little weaker?

yeah, he is strong on -- these are what voters say are the two biggest and most important issues to them, and that would be the border and immigration, asking which candidate is better by a 21-point margin. voters in our polls say trump better than harris. and then dealing with the economy, again, nine-point margin, trump better than harris. when you ask folks what they consider the most important issues, you're looking at them right there. >> steve, always good to see you. thank you. hoda? thanks, craig. turning to a deadly mass shooting in alabama over the weekend. police say multiple suspects are still on the run after opening fire at a popular night spot in birmingham. at least four people were killed, 17 others hurt. priya joins us right now. she's got the very latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, hoda. no word on a motive just yet. police say they do believe it was part of a targeted hit. we want to warn you the video you are about to see may be disturbing. an urgent manhunt is underway in birmingham this morning after

multiple shooters opened fire outside a hookah and cigar lounge. >> they were in a vehicle, got out of the vehicle, a shooting occurred, they fled. >> reporter: the gunmen killing four people, thee of them identified by police as 21-year-old anita holloman, tahj booker and carlos mccain. authorities are calling it a targeted attack. >> we believe the individual that was targeted is among is deceased. we believe that there was a hit, if you will, on that particular person. >> reporter: it happened just after 11:00 p.m. on saturday night in the five-point south area, a popular entertainment and night life district that's also home to the university of alabama at birmingham. >> i walked up when it was just ended because everybody was screaming, there was people crying. >> reporter: an investigation is now underway, and authorities

say they believe an automatic weapon was used after recovering over 100 shell casings at the scene. derek tells me he was at a nearby bar with friends. >> the shots kept firing, fast, rapid. there was one on the ground. we were trying to get everybody in. >> reporter: saturday's incident is one of several mass shootings in birmingham this year. >> this is something we owe it to the victims and their families. >> reporter: the police chief is asking the birmingham community for their help in identifying the gunman as it mourns the latest lives cut short to senseless gun violence. >> we know there are people in our community who do have information who know who is responsible, who know what led up to this and what transpired. >> reporter: and this shooting comes after the city of birmingham partnered with u.s. attorneys and the atf to create an initiative called flip the switch in an effort to get rid of machine gun conversion devices. birmingham police say they do believe one of those devices,

commonly known as a switch, was used in saturday night's shooting. hoda? >> priya, thanks. lots more to get here monday, including the nfl. the kansas city chiefs looking to stay undefeated, taking on the atlanta falcons in sunday night football, and this one went down to the final moments. >> a lot of those kind of zone routes as well. >> mahomes retreats, draws it. juju smith-schuster touchdown! kansas city! >> and with that, they take an eight-point lead. let's fast forward to the end of the game. under a minute to go. falcons in striking distance here. but the chiefs stop them on fourth down. kansas city goes on to win it 22-17. chiefs remain undefeated at 3-0. >> congratulations to you, chiefs. >> they look good. >> all right. >> they look good. >> all right. >> the saints still look good too. >> i know. i was bummed about that one. but congrats to the eagles and all the fans out there. >> look at how big you are.

"monsters: the lyle and erik menendez brothers" focused on the murder of their parents. while it is currently the streamers number one show, the real-life subject eric menendez is slamming the series saying it was rampant with horrible and blatant lies. the show implies an intimate relationship between the brothers, which has drawn viewer backlash. >> he's also trashing up and exploiting a very tragic stoimt. >> reporter: in a statement released by his wife tammy, erik writes, it is sad for me to know that netflix's dishonest portrayal have taken the painful >> who is the person that's been truths several steps backward. >> who is the person that's been shot. >> my mom and my dad. >> in 1989, jose and kitty menendez were found brutally

welcome back. this morning on "in depth today," we're taking a closer look at the new generations driving spending at discount stores. >> and they might not be who you expect. sam brock is here to explain. >> younger, savvy shoppers. we know inflation is moving finally in the right direction. but after years of soaring prices, many consumers changed their spending habits. it is not just us and our parents. gen z and millennials are leading the charge at finding stylish products on a budget. this fall, gen z and millennials on the hunt. they're finding them at popular discount stores. >> oh, my gosh, i need it all. >> reporter: from t.j. maxx and mar marshall's to ross and burlington, these are not your parents' big box bargains. >> once you go, you become obsessed because it is just like addicting. >> reporter: after years of high inflation, hurting consumers' wallets -- >> this is our budget.

haifa, which is northern israel. this was a parking lot, but israel converted this parking lot roughly a decade ago into a state-of-the-art medical center that could operate in a wartime capacity. and for the first time ever, the israelis are evacuating the entire hospital, bringing all of the patients, all of the staff down here. it is a clear sign that they are bracing for much more to come. there is no facility like this in lebanon. in fact, in lebanon, the medical authorities there have told hospitals in the south of the country that they can no longer treat anyone but war casualties. israel has been carrying out extensive strikes in southern lebanon trying to eliminate hezbollah -- mostly hezbollah missile facilities and rocket-launching capacities. the u.s. state department, by the way, hoda, has told americans to leave lebanon. >> all right. richard engel for us there. thank you. the house plans to vote this week on a three-month stopgap funding bill as the clock ticks down to a shutdown. speaker mike johnson struck a

one booth stood out. utz's barbados working with xq to help make more climate-resilient schools. >> mm-hmm. >> so that's one example that's being put into use in a bigger way. but what are some of the other technologies that are here? >> so we organize the fair around the needs of us as humans because in order for these solutions to be adopted, we have no address human needs. so we have food, our homes, our systems of energy, and then nature because the health of us as humans is reliant upon the health of the planet. >> yeah. >> so some organizations are redefining batteries to make them lighter, safer and last a whole lot longer, all the way to common health fusion systems, which they're designing a fusion power plant that creates a clean limitless energy. >> and the one thing i like, those sound like really big ideas. but on this booth, there is this spot what can you do. there are things i can do at home, the folks watching they can do at home and within their communities. it is a really great event.

thank you so much, gabe. >> absolutely. thanks for having me. >> this event will be continuing all day today. if you're in new york city, come on down. >> usually they don't get as much air time, but they're getting air time. let's walk. coming up next, we're catching up with aubrey plaza. and we're also connecting with their inner child in her other new movie. but, first, this is "today" on

some say it's impossible to fix san francisco.

they also said you couldn't escape from alcatraz. but watch me do both. other candidates want to tear down san francisco, but i'll build on what's already great to make it even better. with expanded rent control, new homes for the middle class community policing to reduce crime, and an inspector general to root out corruption. let's get to work. paid for by aaron peskin for mayor 2024. financial disclosures are available at sfethics.org it's 8:37. we're back with aubrey plaza. this emmy-nominated actress has it's 8:37. we're back with aubrey plaza. this emmy-nominated actress has been winning audiences over since her breakout roles in parks and rec. last year she earned her first s.a.g. award for her performance in the hit second season of

"white lotus." now she is starring in not one, but two big screen flicks. the ender coming of age film "my old ass." i can't believe we said that. and the epic "megapolis" where aubrey plays a power-hungry journalist in the midst of a dying modern world. take a look. >> welcome. good to see you. >> we are waiting about this model of the city over the design authority's newly demolished site, which everyone is now claiming as their own. >> aubrey, welcome. >> hello! >> you play a journalist well. >> thank you very much. >> were you channeling anybody or doing your thing? i thought a lot about nicole kidman "to die for" and faye dunaway, the network.

not a journalist, but a badass. >> you almost missed the audition because you were shooting "white lotus. "what happened there? >> i was shooting "white lotus" in sicily. as you know, during pandemic times, they didn't want us to fly anywhere or anything like that. so i had to say no to the original audition. a couple weeks later, they said francis would like to zoom with you. so i did. i zoomed with him, and it worked out. >> what was the experience like it felt like we were in a theater troupe, you know? and we were all just getting really weird, you know? >> like what kind of games? i don't get it. >> you know, sound games. sound ball is his favorite where everyone gets in a sickle and they pass an imaginary object. if i went like that with a sound and went to you like bop.

zip, zap, zop, that kind of thing. >> back to "white lotus," is it true you haven't seen one episode of it because you can't figure out your max password? is that a true statement? >> that is the original reason why i didn't watch it, why i didn't initially watch it. in fact, i will clear this up. i was -- i was shooting "mega "megalopolis" when this show was airing, and i was staying in some airbnb in atlanta. you know how when you stay in a random place, you can't figure out the system? i gave up. but i will get there. >> you will get there eventually. >> i absolutely. >> let's talk about this other show you're doing, "my old ass." this is about a younger version of you that goes on some mushroom trip, and then describe what happens after that. >> yeah. so maize tell la plays elliot. it is the summer before she

leaves home to go to college. she does a little mushroom trip with her friends. during her trip, she meets her old ass, which is me. her 39-year-old old ass, and she lovingly calls me old ass. i start appearing to her and almost trying to give her advice or guide her. and i can't spoil what happens, but it's a very, very, very heart-warming movie. >> you are trying to prevent her from getting heartbroken and all the things that happen in life if you can protect her. >> i'm trying to prevent her from making some mistakes, yeah. >> yeah. do you remember when you were here with me last time. i always remember, but you pretended like you were a witch the entire interview. >> i would never do something like that. >> i was struggling like what am i supposed to be doing here. you sometimes do your own thing. you don't seem to care what goes on around you. >> i don't care about anything! >> but you do your own thing.

>> i just -- i don't know. no, but i was a witch because it was halloween, you know, and i had to curse al roker, i think. i forget. >> but i think in a world of kind of cookie-cutter, follow the rules, do what we say, this is how we do it, you're a mold breaker. you're definitely your own. >> i don't know why. there is nothing going on up here. i'm just kind of -- i try to live in the moment. >> yes. >> there is a couple cameras and, you know, lights and stuff. i don't know. >> you got it. well, it is always fun to have you here. >> thank you. i love coming here. nice to be on the couch. >> i know. >> it is a new thing for me. >> it's bouncy. >> it is, yeah. >> you can catch both of aubrey's films in theaters everywhere. aubrey, thank you. >> thank you. craig, over to you. >> that was so much fun. up next, before his debut on

"the voice," look who's here, mr. michl buble. we will aeta the city hall insiders have a formula: grow the system, exploit the system. take mark farrell's record. after receiving the largest ethics fine in city history for breaking campaign laws. mark authorized a commission almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery. san francisco's challenges demand urgency, not more of the same failed insiders.

welcome welcome back. michael bublé has dedicated his career to maintaining the great american song book, a five-time grammy winner. he's had listeners feeling good, just like the songs. well over 75 million records sold worldwide. that's a lot of records. >> that's impressive. >> look, he's going to add to that number with his new greatest hits album "the best of buble." that's going to drop on friday. first, though, he's going to make his debut as a coach on "the voice" when season 26 previews. in fact, here's a sneak peek. >> are you hungry?

not judges. the only shows have judges. we are coaches. >> that's true, that's true. >> the reason i say that is because most of the singers are better than me, and i have no place of ever judging anyone. so to get to coach them and live the fantasy of having this career i've had and then get to have the fulfillment of helping someone else get that, that's the cool part of it. >> are you predicting a win this season, or is it too early to tell? >> man, my team is good. my team is really good, yeah. everybody has got good stuff happening on their team. >> reba is the defending champ. >> we call her reba magnatire. when the chair turns around, people just love her. that smile, whack. gwen is never stephony. she's highly intelligent, tells it like it is. and, snoop, man, my uncle snoop. everybody loves snoop. >> speaking of snoop, we saw

>> carson's our amazing dad. >> so you have a big week. you have "the voice" tonight and later this week, your album will drop. >> it is the best of. it is funny, man. with my humor, i'm like, why don't we call it michael bublé's greatest hit. it's a self-deprecating thing. they said, we don't think that's a good idea. >> they talked you out of it. >> man, you know, it's amazing. over 20 years. i'm sentimental about it. i have never -- there is not a note that's left my mouth without it meaning a lot to me. and i have had this really genuine beautiful connection with all these gorgeous souls in the last 21 years. man, when i think about all the amazing co-writers and duets and arrangers and all the musicians, partnerships, it's really sentimental to have that moment where you can share that with an audience. >> you seem very reflective this morning. >> well, you know what i mean, a best of record makes you reflective. but i know i look sexy now. >> you do. i mean, one of the sexiest men that's ever been in the studio. it's true.

certainly the sexiest canadian. >> there's a lot of time to reflect. listen, dude. i work so hard. i worked through 16, 17 clubs. never thought i would get signed. got signed pretty late, 26, 27. the fact that i'm sitting here with you on the "today" show, it never gets old. and i never stop being really appreciative. >> it is cool to see you in this light in this moment because i know you prayed for this life that you live right now. >> yeah. yeah, absolutely, yeah. i'm blessed. >> and you still manage to find time to coach your kids' lacrosse team. >> i am a terrible coach. we have a coach named kevin, who is the head coach. he knows what he's doing. he's a great player. me? my job is to open the bench and close the bench, and it goes about as far as me counting how many children are coming on and coming off. we need two! we need one! >> you actually played lacrosse. >> i played hockey. i love sports, man. you just throw a ball, and i'm like a dog.
