i'm zinhle essamuah. >> and i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, monday, october 7th, 2024. breaking news. category five. monster hurricane milton gains strength as it barrels toward florida, al roker is tracking when it's expected to make landfall and who's likely to be hit hardest. one year later. sirens wail across israel marking 365 days since the october 7th terror attacks. memorials are being held for the victims and for the hostages, we'll speak to the parents of one of those hostages about their hopes that their son may finally come home. making a list. the holiday shopping season is officially here, the major retailers slashing prices this week and the items you'll want to check twice before you add to cart. and omg.

i sit down with suki waterhouse for the drink. so many great stories to get on this monday. breaking news the major hurricane barrelling right now toward florida's gulf coast. >> hurricane milton is now a monster category five storm, at this hour milton is gaining strength in the gulf of mexico, it's forecasted to make landfall as early as wednesday evening, two weeks to the day that hurricane helene made landfall, devastating the sunshine state, making matters even worse, milton could hit in the exact same areas that are still recovering from helene. >> leftover debris from helene's wrath is one of the biggest threats from this new storm. 24-hour effort to clear out the metals so they don't become projectiles. >> leading us off this hour is jesse kirsch in sarasota, also with us is al roker, but jesse,

we know that there evacuation orders already in effect for multiple counties, are people heeding those warnings and leaving? >> reporter: yeah, i can tell you, it largely feels as business as usual in downtown sarasota, the images of debris, guys, a slightly piece of debris, a boat that's partially sinking in the water behind me the kind of challenges that this community is facing beforehandfall, we're talking about the aftermath of hurricane helene, less than two weeks ago it made landfall in the same stretch of florida. sarasota, the possibility of twice as high of a storm surge in this city for example and the national hurricane center is describing milton as quote, ebs explosively intensified.

this is a storm that people should be taking seriously. we go to get resources like other people, beyond the boarding up that we see, we go and get water and gas cans to be prepared. these resources seem to be running out or at least being grabbed up sooner rather than we'd see typically with a hurricane and whether that's because stores haven't been restocked fully from helene or people are getting ready that much faster here there's this sense that people are taking this seriously and getting things together. we're not seeing any kind of mass evacuation from this community at this point. all that debris still out there, they're working around the clock, even after cleanup crews have gone through areas, there are shattered glass on the ground and so it's going to be something to be paying attention to, what goes into the wind when this storm hits. >> yes, sir se, thank you.

al, this storm surged in intensity, it's a category five, what are we looking at as far as the impact. >> massive, guys, unfortunately. right now much of florida under hurricane watches, tropical storm watches as well as this system gets itself together, visible picture right now, and you can see that eye really developing very, very clearly, that gives us the idea that this thing is still not done strengthening yet, 700 miles southwest of tampa, category five, it's moving to the east at nine miles per hour. making landfall as a category 3, hopefully some weakening happens. across much of florida as a hurricane, now the hurricane-force winds extend out 30 miles from the center of the storm but those tropical-force winds up to 70 miles per hour,

upwards of 80 miles out from the center. storm surges, the thing we're most worried about, the surge could travel several miles inland anywhere from 5 to 12 feet. three feet it's almost impossible to walk around in, that rush of water. when you get to 6 feet of water, all of a sudden you got a whole different ball game. water breaking through windows. driving will be completely impossible. water will inundate that first floor. 10 feet, homes will get swept up. also we're talking about severe weather, 11 million people at risk stretching from daytona

beach down to key west, several tornadoes possible, most likely and the rain, widespread flash and river flooding because we're talking about anywhere from 5 to 10 inches of rain, guys, before this is all over, we'll be talking about this into next week. there's going to be a long-term effect to this. we're just watching and waiting. >> it's striking, too, this path looks pretty, there's not a lot of variation right now. >> the last couple of hurricanes the national hurricane center has been spot-on the only variable is the prediction of the hurricane intensity, because we've seen this rapid intensification, time and time again they're still having a little time getting their hands around it. today marks one year since hamas' horrific terror attacks on israel, memorials are being held in israel and around the

world. >> 1200 israelis were killed that day and 250 more were kidnapped. 101 people are still being held hoinl by hamas. in the war that unfolded since, more than 40,000 people have been killed according to palestinian officials. danielle, talk about this one-year mark and how israelis are marking this somber day? >> reporter: sure. i don't think many people certainly not here in israel, not in gaza or west bank, thought a year later they'd still be at war and not only that we're now an inch away from a regional war, israel is a country still deeply scarred by the events of october 7th, 40 miles away from where i'm standing in gaza, scenes can

only be described as apocalyptic. services throughout israel, people gathered to honor and remember the victims of october 7th. everything from that day is still very raw and you can see that on the faces of the family members, specifically at the site of the nova music festival, they gathered at dawn at the moment a year ago when the horror unfolded. you hear this a lot from the family members of the hostages still being held. they haven't moved past october 7th because their relatives are still in gaza. if you ask a lot of people, they'd give anything to go back to october 6th, to be reunited with their families. to the palestinians they'll tell you they didn't know that peace not on october 6th on that day going back decades because of

blockade in gaza, the military occupation in the west bank, as calls around the world grow for a two-state solution here there's as you said early no end in sight to this war, there's seemingly no progress on a cease-fire deal. hostages continue to be held by hamas. >> danielle, to that end, the war, october 7th attack ignited has only intensified. overnight the israeli military continued to hammer beirut as the military issued a new evacuation order in southern gaza, walk us through the latest today as we're marking this day. >> reporter: so, in gaza, israel stepping up its ground and air attacks the death toll in the past 24 hours, at least 62. this as israeli tanks moving closer into the refugee camp,

once again expand evacuation orders. hamas launched missiles towards tel aviv, we can hear the boom of the iron dome intercepting those missiles and that's essentially hamas telling israel and the world they're still there, still standing and still a threat to israel a year on. over to the north, projectiles from hezbollah, israel stepping up its bombing of southern lebanon and claiming that it hit 120 targets within an hour, this at one point 2 million people in lebanon now displaced. >> danielle, thank you. coming up, we'll speak with the parents of an israeli american hostage still in hamas captivity. their powerful message during this difficult time. today's money minute. panera bread just settled a lawsuit over their charged lemonade. >> steve joins us now.

we'll start with panera bread, it settled with the family of a college student who died after drinking the highly caffeinated charged lemonade drink, the 21-year-old had a heart condition according to that lawsuit. the terms of the settlement weren't made public. also the fda is upgrading a previous egg recall over salmonella risk. serious health risks and possible death from the contaminated eggs from may 23rd to august 10th. and krispy kreme is screaming up ghostbusters-themed doughnuts. four doughnuts inspired by the comedy classic. you can get a new

ghostbuster-themed drink. >> that's what i want. >> steve, thank you. coming up, if you monitor your blood pressure at home we've got some new information that you definitely want to know how the placement of your monitor could drastically change the accuracy of your results. plus, you're looking at a republican senate candidate who republican senate candidate who appeared to pause in the when my doctor gave me breztri for my copd... things changed for me. breztri gave me... better breathing, symptom improvement, and reduced flare-ups. breztri won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. it is not for asthma. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. don't take breztri more than prescribed. breztri may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain... mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating,... vision changes, or eye pain occur. ask your doctor about breztri.

as we acknowledge one year since the object 7th attack there are 101 hostages still believed to be held right now including four americans by hamas. >> one of those hostages is omer neutra, he took a gap year before he planned to attend college here in the u.s., he joined the idf serving near the gaza border when he was taken hostage. he remains in captivity and joining us now are his parents, ronen and orna neutra. we can only imagine, i have a son around the same age of your son. you live it every single day.

how are you feeling today? >> well, you know, it's a year, 365 days, but for us we're still stuck on october 7th of last year and we've been like our son under a terror attack that's prolonged over a year. so it's a very difficult time for us. >> and we were discussing earlier, your son's birthday is in a week, october 14th, he would call often. just remind us, who he is, what do you want people to know about who your son is? >> well, he has a big smile, it's very telling about him, you know that smile. he's really a connector, he's the one who saw the people on the outskirts and bring them into the center.

he's a goofball on one hand, but on the other hand, he's very serious and a leader, he's a natural leader, he's taken leadership roles in many different places throughout high school. he's natural leader. >> you've been so outspoken, you've been outspoken advocates for the hostages, part of that community that you never wanted to be a part of it, you called it a family of people now who are missing their loved ones, what do you want people to know about what you're going through and what you need. >> well, it's a horrible situation that we've all been tossed into and, you know, i think one struggle this past year was about truth and moral clarity here. this is a global humanitarian crisis, there should be no debate about right or wrong around this. you have citizens of 20

different countries in there, you have hostages to this day that span between a 1 1/2-year-old baby and an 84-year-old man. anything in between, women, young men, and they're being held against their will, with no freedoms. there's no sign of life, the red cross hasn't been allowed to see them. this is really a global crisis, and where's the outrage? people need to cry out, you know, where's our world heading? >> i mean, to that point, and i appreciate that you said it's been a year since october 7th, but you've been holding that day, i wonder as the conflict broadens in the middle east, do you have a concern of leaders that they're no longer prioritizing a hostage deal? >> without a doubt. we've seen a process where the

hostages were a priority, all of a sudden right now israelis fighting in lebanon need to retaliate to iran. all of a sudden we all see that iran plays a much bigger role and shows its true nature as the leader of these proxies. israel has to deal with all these risks and dangers around it, yet we believe the hostages are the most critical as the key to bringing the whole region into a much better place because once the hostages are back, cease-fire with gaza, people can rebuild their lives, hezbollah in the north will stop and we can start to see some, all this conflict basically slowly find its way. its way. >> our thanks to (♪♪) “the darkness of bipolar depression made me feel like life was moving on without me. then i found a chance to let in the lyte.”

council on american islamic relations, she tells me. today is also filled with grief for her community and the loss of lives due to the ongoing war in gaza. she says she fears this war will escalate even further as a regional war, and says there is pain all around killing civilians, bombing schools, bombing mosques, obliterating entire city blocks is happening only through the permission and weaponry of the united states government. and so i am appreciative of all of the protesters. now there will be commemorative ceremonies across the bay area for the victims of october 7th, including, as i mentioned, this one here at emanuel synagogue. this i'm told, will be the main commemorative ceremony here in the city for the jewish community that begins at 7 p.m. in san francisco, ginger conejero saab nbc, bay area news. thank you. ginger. a popular san francisco gathering spot was the target of political

real opportunity here for individuals to try to seize on this day to get attention and notoriety for their cause and some of those people will try to do violently. that's why they put out that bulletin late last week. a concern across the country wherever there are large houses of worship for either religion. it's been obviously a very difficult. >> tom, we've seen protests tied to the israel/hamas war, are we expecting anything today like that. >> we sure are, some of that is happening as we speak, protests here on the east coast in new york city, as well as some of the college campuses that we're hit last spring, columbia university, nyu, university of maryland, other college campuses, all of this, kate, follows a number of protests on

>> i understand. >> reporter: they are both two-time cancer survivors. >> i like to see this. >> reporter: this is the american cancer society's road to recovery program in action. rachel has macular degeneration and can't drive anymore. julie is a volunteer driver. the society is providing nearly ten million rides across the country since 2005, trying to solve what this chief patient officer says is one of cancer's intractable problems. >> lack of transportation is the number one barrier to people accessing timely, high-quality cancer care. and as much as cancer care evolves, one thing has remained constant, that if you can't get there, you can't get better. >> reporter: for rachel, it is nothing less than a lifesaver. >> i completed radiation last summer. would not have been able to do

that without julie and the other volunteers who took me to 30 fun-filled treatments. >> that's quite a commitment. that's every day for six weeks. >> it's huge. there are times i would not have been able to convince myself to get up and go. >> really? >> i thought about people like julie, with her incredible enthusiasm. i figured if they could do all that for me, then i could get up and get dressed and go for me. so i did. >> is being a driver, is it part of your way of paying back a cosmic debt, if you will? is it your way of saying, thank you, for the fact that you survived? >> completely. that's the only reason i do it. i'm still alive. and if you can't get to treatment, i'm going to be there to get you there. >> reporter: if the appointments are short, julie does a little extra. >> i go in with them. and just sit and talk. i hear their stories and

recipes. >> reporter: and the fear cancer survivors know. >> i confessed how i'll miss anything. in back of my mind there lurks a little demon that says, could it be cancer again? julie said, oh, yeah. we all do that. >> the same thing with me. any time i have an unusual pain or twinge, it's back. >> that's right. >> it's not like just a ride. what julie and the other drivers gave me -- oops. the support, the encouragement. >> reporter: for julie, that's not been the toughest ride. she drove her daughter, gretchen, to her own breast cancer treatment. >> because she saw me go through it, she had tons of fear. >> how did you calm her down? >> just talked about pressing on. >> gretchen has now been in remission for seven months.

her riders know just saw how remarkable julie is, especially one patient she takes to radiation. >> tell me, what does he call you? >> lately he calls me his angel. his angel. >> some angels have wings. julie spangler has wheels. >> julie spangler is 750. she'll do this until they take the keys out of her hands. if you want to be a volunteer, the cancer society says all you need is a valid driver's license, a vehicle and an open heart. volunteers pay for gas and tolls. julie will tell you, you get so much back in return. >> thank you so much. >> thank you so much. there's much more news i hear that music and my feet just start tapping. my grandchildren, they're sixth generation of dancers. it's what my family is all about.
