breaking news. push for freedom. family members of erik and lyle menendez are getting ready to stage a courthouse rally this afternoon. why the convicted kills should be released. must see tv, vice president harris and former trump both set to make dueling television appearances today, the key voters they're hoping to sway. unsubscribe, cancel an online subscription, the new rule set to make that process a whole lot easier. and oh, my gourd. a police officer in ohio kind of squashed by a runaway inflatable pumpkin, he's okay, what it took to rein in this halloween. >> it's getting out of hand. giant skeletons. >> i'm here for the candy. more serious news breaking out of los angeles. >> the family of erik and lyle

menendez are set to hold a news conference calling for the brothers to be released from prison, less than two weeks after the los angeles distribute attorney's office was reviewing the conviction of thebrothers and possible evidence included in petitions that brothers filed last year alleging molestation by their own father. >> they're currently serving life sentences for killing their parents 35 years ago. gadi, walk us through the new everyday the d.a. is looking at and who are we expecting to hear from? >> this evidence is not new to the d.a. one piece of evidence in particular is a letter that was written allegedly from erik menendez to his cousin eight

months before the murders happened and in this letter he alleges that he's being molested by his father and that he was scared of his father and he was scared that this could happen at any time. the other piece of evidence is an affidavit from a band member of menudo, a popular boy band back in day, in this letter that band member said when he was 12 years old the me men december father raped him while he was the head of rca records and while they were making this deal. both of those seem to indicate at least the family says that this was a long standing molestation that was going on inside of the menendez house that's something that the jury and the courts heard the first time the menendez brothers were brought to court and they were tried that resulted in a hung jury, the second time they were brought in to be tried, the

molestation stuff really didn't rise, it was barred from being introduced into evidence, that resulted in a conviction which we now see as a life in prison without the possibility of parole. today, within an hour, we're going to hear most of the menendez family rallying around these two brothers saying look this evidence speaks to totality of what was happening inside of that home and they want those brothers freed as soon as possible. >> is this linked to the renewed public interest in this case? you got docu-series and other things out there now. >> it's a perfect storm, this petition that was filed by the defense based on ed that was found -- look, documentaries about the menendez case forever, this new evidence came to light a year ago that prompted this filing. then you've got this kind of

shockudrama on netflix. these two brothers are kind of portrayed in a sensational ic light. then you have an election going on. in los angeles the d.a.'s trailing by 30 points in the latest poll, so the family member that wants the brothers to stay in prison, please don't make this political, these murders were done in cold blood. but the d.a. has been posting ab about this on his campaign tiktok. >> let's hone in on the d.a. what does the district

attorney's office need to consider when it comes to reopening a case like this. >> they have to consider several factors and quite frankly it's going to be a complex decision in this particular case, what it really boils down whether or not that letter and affidavit if presented could have altered the jury's decision, and i think as gadi pointed out in the first trial where the sexual abuse allegations were able to utilize in the defense there was a hung jury. in the second trial where the sex abuse allegations were excluded then the conviction resulted. it's clear that these pieces of evidence if presented could the early alter the jury's decision in whether or not there's a conviction. today there's a more evolved understanding of trauma and abuse. so the d.a. has to determine

whether or not this corroboration of the abuse combined with the previously excluded evidence really does justify reconsidering this case or even at a minimum allowing the resentencing of the brothers. >> the other additional decision is the political as well as societal, they'll have to balance the fact there are two dead bodies here the political, the societal, public interest and legal consideration as well. >> lot has changed and so many things need to consider. thank you both. catch more tonight on stay tuned now streaming at 8:00 p.m. eastern/5:00 p.m. pacific on nbc news now. there's less than three weeks to go before election day, both vice president harris and former president trump are zeroing in on different voting blocs and tried to persuade undecided voters. >> vice president harris is

hitting pennsylvania. meanwhile former president trump is trying to court women and latino voters in two prerecorded town halls. let's bring in ali raffa and dasha burns. vice president harris is set to do an interview with fox news tonight, it comes as she's holding an event in pennsylvania, more than a hundred republicans who endorsed her was expected to attend that. >> reporter: with less than three weeks now until the election, we're seeing the harris campaign throw everything it has to get as many people out to vote as possible on election day, this also includes republicans with the vice president today set to appear with several high-profile republicans, enter deuced by republican farmers in pennsylvania, all to share this message she may not agree with republicans on every single

issue but she shares the common goal and vision, targeting those diseffected voters. we've seen the harris campaign and the vice president lean more into this. she said she would be open to having a republican in her cabinet, have a bipartisan council of advisers. she's doing an interview with fox news' bret baier. >> dasha, you're in georgia i a judge's ruling involving ballots in that key battleground state, tell us what's going on? >> reporter: that ruling is an attempt to counter some opportunities that might have arisen from that taking a longer time to count those ballots, we remember back in 2020 that because of some of the changes

made due to covid-19 pandemic it took a while to get election results in several key battleground states, that opened the door to sowing doubt and chaos on part of the former president and his allies. so this is the judge's attempt to say, hey, it's too late to make this kind of change, it's going to create too much chaos in administrative process so we're not going to go that route. hopefully we'll get election results faster in this state. early voting, an absolute explosion of enthusiasm. more than double the last record here and as we've been talking to voters, we've been hearing they really feel there's a lot at stake in this election. listen. >> why was it important for you to come out and vote early in. >> i want to save our country.

i want to see our country go forward, not back. >> i didn't want to get caught in the last-minute rush and also i want to make sure my vote got counted. >> reporter: look, this is probably good news for the harris team given historically and according to recent polling democrats are more likely to come out and vote early and vote by mail, because former president trump spent years criticizing mail-in and early voting, guys. >> allie, president biden campaigned for his vice president yesterday suggesting that a harris administration won't exactly look like his. what did the president say? >> reporter: we've seen the vice president struggle to really hit this balance of keeping loyalty to president biden, keeping those loyal supporters of his on her side while also creating this divide and distance between her and the biden/harris administration and yesterday we saw the president essentially give her per mix to break more from him.

given harris that freedom to break more from him and create more of a divide as far as what she would do if elected to office. time now for today's money minute. mortgage demand is tanking. >> and spacewear is going high fashion. let's talk about real estate, mortgage demand taking a step back last week, hitting their highest level since august, total mortgage apps falling last week, rates jumping to around 6.52%, the previous week, a 20% downcoca-cola recal mislabeled zee row-sugar drinks.

florida. talk about the feeling out there as they finally get back to class and routine. >> reporter: yeah, this is a little bit of a bright spot, finally some sort of normalcy, but even though many students are returning back to school there wereo sort out different logistics as to where put those students in the next month, but they're very excited to go back to school and one of the things that school counselor said, a lot of these kids are going to be dealing with a lot of trauma, the superintendent told me that actually 15% of the student body in this district lost their homes between these two hurricanes, they're effectively homeless right now, a staggering statistic.

let's take a listen what the school counselor said about why the routines here are so important. >> it's the good mornings, the music at the buses when they come off, have a great patriot day, those things are a part of our school, the smiles, the hugs, the football games, all the things that, you know, you can't really put a measure on they just become part of your school community. >> reporter: and everyone said they were just so excited to be able to see one another face to face to really check on each other, and another thing the school counselor told me she's proud of the student body, they're so resilient. these kids know how to bounce back and they're really excited to be back in school right now, guys. >> priya thanks for that. there's still more than a month left in this year's hurricane season.

>> conditions have been a bit tamer, the national hurricane center said there are two areas we need to watch for development. bill karins is tracking those for us, bill, what are you watching and how likely that these systems could form into something we should concerned about. >> this is where we are, a graph that shows when storms typically form, that's june down here and this is december 1st, the peak of the hurricane center is september 10th, we're right here, roughly about 15 to 20% of the named typical systems left, you know, this little piece here through the october/november, we've had some big storms at end of october. huge impact storms. one, 20% of development off the coast of honduras and when have this 40% area, it looks healthier today heading toward

puerto rico, possibly toward the dominican republic, it's heading to dry air, talk to anyone on the east coast, fall is in the air, cold front is coming off the east coast, very rare for a system in this location to make it to the east coast and all our computer models that try to develop it they kind of bend it to the south here and weaken it toward cuba, haiti, nothing brings it toward the u.s. our computer models end here because they think it's going to diss dissipate. >> bill karins, thanks. coming up, oh, my god.ur a police officer in ohio squashed by a pumpkin. 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. most plans

when the lawn mower blades could strike a stone. spark a fire. if you're using a barbecue, make sure that you are in a safe area. and if you happen to have car trouble and have to pull over on the side of the road, make sure you don't do that. and high dry grasses. we talked with the cal fire battalion chief, who says that this fire risk is going to remain through this month and next. yeah, definitely. we're in the peak of a fire season right now in october, november, these fall months where everything has been dry all through the summer with no precipitation since early spring, whence our next rain fall comes, whenever that is. that's when we will see some lightning of our critical fire weather. but until then, we're still deep in it. and we could see any type of fire ignition with the weather coming this weekend because of the fire danger. pg&e is warning people to be ready for those public safety power shut offs. that is when they cut the power to lines in order to minimize the fire risk. should they fall. those could start tomorrow and last

through saturday. in particular, you'll need to be ready in alameda county, contra costa county, mendocino county, napa and solano counties. so as you head to bed tonight, make sure your devices are charged up so that you can stay on top of the information as it changes in san jose. kris sanchez, nbc, bay area news. thank you chris. keeping up with the weather has never been easier than with our nbc bay area app. we are debuting a new redesigned weather experience. it's the only way to get your local weather your way for the people you know and trust. be sure to download our nbc bay area app. i use the weather section every day. college students in the south bay area are remembering a huge piece of the civil rights movement, 54 years after the black power salute. back in 1968, two black americans, tommie smith and john carlos, medaled in the mexico olympics, and during the award ceremony, both raised their fists as the national anthem played in silent protest of racism in america, and both were actually san jose

growing doubts surrounding the case that put him on death row, 57-year-old robert roberson was convicted of shaking his 2-year-old daughter to death in 2002, he could become the first person in american history to be executed for what's called shaken baby syndrome. the detective who originally testified against him now says he believes he's innocent, one of the major factors in the conviction was what called prosecutors said a seem ingly blank reaction to his daughter's death. the pentagon is giving honorable discharges 20800 form er members, that were previously kicked out under the don't ask, don't tell policy. this is the latest effort to undo past discrimination against lgbtq-plus service members without an honorable discharge. thousands of service memberswho were expelled under that policy were unable to receive military

benefits. last year, defense secretary lloyd austin called for a review of those cases. and how about this for a spooky scene, a giant inflatable pumpkin somehow got loose in ohio. police officers were called to wrangle the runaway pumpkin. it rolled across roads, at one point you see that police officer disappearing, police say no one was hurt. the massive lawn decoration was returned to the backyard it came from. the united nations security council held a meeting today on the escalating situation in the middle east. >> it comes 24 hours after the u.s. gave israel 30 days to get more humanitarian aid into gaza or risk a suspension of u.s. military assistance. hala gorani joins us from tel aviv. any signs that more aid has made its way inside. >> reporter: the israeli military said that 50 trucks went into gaza, however

according to sources on the ground they didn't stop in northern part of gaza but went straight to gaza city meaning that perhaps the people who most need this crucial aid aren't getting it, the other headline today is you mentioned the u.n. security council meeting, the u.s.' ambassador said that a policy of starvation in the north would be unacceptable. what's important to remember, 50 trucks is about a tenth of what was going into gaza before october 7th when the gaza strip was almost entirely destroyed. had the ability to feed itself, fields and greenhouses and et cetera, none of that is left. i spoke in the west bank with a veteran politician, i asked him for his reaction on that letter that antony blinken and the secretary of defense austin sent to israeli officials.

this is what he told me. >> you have 30 days is really shameful, because that means that during these 30 days israel will continue to block humanitarian aid to gaza, will continue its bombardment everywhere in gaza, you have to consider that already the knot of gaza doesn't have any food, any milk, any water for 12 days. nothing. >> reporter: right, and what he said was essentially in 30 days many people who don't have immediate access to some of the essential food and medicine could die during that period, that grace period that the u.s. has given israel. >> hala, thank you. here in the u.s., two arizona police officers are under investigation following the violent arrest of a deaf

black man who reported has cerebal palsy. >> a warning it's hard to watch. that arrest happened back in august and you can hear the officers wrestling the man to the ground. nbc news correspondent morgan chesky is following this developing story for us. morgan, walk through what we know about this incident, what else the bodycam shows. >> reporter: this began according to police when somebody called 911 from a convenience store and said there was fight, when those two officers arrived, a white man had identified -- described as the aggressor in that encounter that man told police that he was only try to stop a bike theft and he pointed to him in the parking lot, police then went to

and you saw the beginning of that bodycam footage, tough to watch as they take him to the ground telling him commands repeatedly and he'snot responsive, what you're seeing on your screen right now is the arrival of his wife trying to explain to police that her husband is deaf and has cerebral palsy. at multiple points police officers tell her to stand back. following all of this is when those multiple felony charges were leveled, it's very clear from the video that these a officers clearly unaware that he was deaf. >> morgan, just difficult details. i wonder how is the police department responding to this video. >> reporter: well, two different things here, they've announced they've launched an internal investigation, but as to where those two officers are, they're

not commenting at this time. whether they've been placed on administrative leave or continuing to patrol. from the county attorney in maricopa county, because of the attention of this case, i will personally review the entire file, as well as totality of the video, i may reach a different conclusion or i may not, but i believe this case merits additional scrutiny, that's currently where things stand regarding this case, it's important context here in that there was a department of justice report that was released in june that examined the phoenix police department over the past three years that found a pattern of officers using ex excessive force. >> morgan, thank you. changing gears, have you tried to quit a gym membership or an online subscription.

but maybe not for much longer. the biden administration said it's cracking down on companies that make it difficult to stop using their services. tom costello has the nbc news excl exclusive. >> i want to quit the gym. >> have you ever felt like chandler bing trying to cancel you don't want anymore? >> i want to quit the gym. >> okay, dave in the membership office has quit. >> reporter: it's become a common complaint on tiktok. >> you basically have to remove your kidney just to cancel the subscription. >> reporter: the federal trade commission says it receives 70 complaints a day from consumers who say it's too difficult to cancel a subscription. >> how about 30% off? how about instead of $80, it's $20. how about no? i hit the cancel button. >> reporter: now, the ftc says

it's issuing new rules requiring businesses to make cancelling as easy as signing up . >> and the principal here is quite basic. no american should be stuck paying for a service they no longer want. >> reporter: the ftc says too often, americans end up paying more money and wasting their time just trying to opt out. in june, the ftc sued amazon, accusing the e-commerce giant of deceptively enrolling millions of shoppers into amazon prime without their consent, then making it hard to leave. amazon tells nbc news, prime's sign-up and cancellation processes are clear and simple by decline. customers sign up for prime because it is an incredible and a great value. and they can cancel their prime membership with a few clicks from the home page. it will prohibit sellers from misrepresenting any material fact made while marketing goods or services. failing to disclose material terms prior to gaining a consumer's billing information,

failing to obtain a consumer's express informed consent, which means they want to continue with the plan. and failing to provide a simple mechanism to cancel a subscription and halt the charges. >> companies have to make it as easy to cancel the subscription as it is to sign up for one. so they can't do things like say it's one click online to sign up, but then to cancel you have to make a phone call or go in person. >> good news for chandler. >> we're doomed. they will take $50 a month out of our accounts for the rest of our lives. what are we going to do? >> well, you can actually go to the gym. >> reporter: tom costello, nbc news. let's talk about the price you pay, the cost of aging is coming into sharp focus as record number of americans are set to turn 65 this year, and

many of them are looking to grow older in their own homes. here's christine romans. >> reporter: here in rural wisconsin, their plan for their golden years was interrupted. >> when the check come out, she shook my hand and they're going to call. >> reporter: rocked by that diagnosis, sharon left her job one year shy of her 65th birthday determined to take care of chuck at home. >> everything that we worked hard for is going back into his ca care. >> you retired from your job to take on another job that's not paid. >> correct. >> we saw our savings dwindle and dwindle. >> reporter: their financial burden is common and top of mind for many voters in swing states

like isconsin. more than $240,000 in the last seven years of life. to say nothing of lost income when a partner like sharon leaves a job to take care of a loved one. >> she helps families connect with local resource and if your loved one is diagnosed younger they're losing their retirement, their income, maybe losing primary caregiver's income. >> the grass is always greener on, the on the other side. >> on the other side of the rainbow. >> reporter: six years since chuck's diagnosis the bills pile

up. they spend up 1440 a month for a private aide, that's just three-hour visits three days a week. >> if chuck is out there getting the mail that should be a minute, she's not, i can pull it up on my phone. >> reporter: in fact the zimmers packed up the home they loved they're living in an apartment to save money. 30 years married. they live without regrets. >> this was kentucky derby right after chuck was diagnosed. >> reporter: cherished memories. >> reporter: when the money is gone and he passes away and i've don the best that i could, ai'm okay being broke. i'm okay saying the state's going to take care of you now because i did the best i could.

up next, new research finds children as young as middle school are starting to plan for their careers, the alternative to college that many a re considering and why that's ahead on "nbc news daily".

in today's modern parenting new research finds young kids as young as middle schoolers are

busy planning their feature careers. many will considering trades. >> according to a recent report gen-z is becoming the tool belt generation and more young workers are going into trades. joining us now is casey welsh the vice president of career at pearson virtual schools. good to see you. thank you for joining us today. so middle school is still pretty young but you're finding that kids that age are starting to think and plan for their careers. >> yeah, absolutely. first off, thanks for having me on the show, excited to be here, spent a majority of my career bridge that learning to work gap. it's happening earlier than we ex expected. by 2028 they're projecting more than 2 million jobs gained in the market. the good news is they're thinking about it earlier.
