"nbc news daily" starts right now. today, thursday, october 17th, 2024. breaking news, hamas leader dead. israel confirms it's killed the

master mind behind the deadly october 7th terror attack. the final sprint, just 19 days until election day and both vice president harris and former president trump are racing to court voters. the comments raising eyebrows today after their dueling interviews last night. left behind. millions across florida are back home after being forced to flee two deadly hurricanes, the growing concern the incarceration could turn fatal in face of. what you can do today to save big for it's too late. >> hard to believe holidays are fast approaching. >> nice to think about travel. we begin this hour with the big breaking news in the middle east. >> israel's foreign minister said the leader of hamas has been killed. the israeli military said yahya sinwar was killed inside gaza.

the architect behind the october 7th terror attack on israel it's believed. it's significant for the entire conflict throughout the middle east. >> president biden released a statement a short time ago, saying, quote, there's now the opportunity for a day after in gaza without hamas in power, and for a political settlement that provides a better future for israelis and palestinians alike. matt, israeli prime minister netanyahu spoke earlier about sinwar's death, what do we know about the operation that killed him? >> reporter: yeah, there wasn't much to say about the operation when netanyahu was speaking but we know that sinwar was caught in the southern city of rafah, between the gaza strip and the egyptian sinai peninsula. it doesn't sound like he was necessarily targeted in this particular operation, it looks as though and according to our reporting from our officials in

washington, from our team in washington that this was kind of a lucky get by the israelis. he wasn't underground, hiding among hostages or civilians. instead it looks as though he was above ground. we don't know what he was doing, but this all happened yesterday zonly today that there was verification that this was in fact yahya sinwar's body. >> we saw israeli soldiers passing out sweets to people, how else is israel and the region reacting to this news? >> reporter: this is going to be very mixed for arabs and palestinians particularly in the region, of course, this man gained popularity outside of the gaza strip and that's worth noting here, it was the people of the gaza strip who have died to the tune of 42,000 people,

most of them civilians who had to carry the burden of his decision to launch the incredibly violent and destructive attacks on october 7th that set off this latest round of fighting. because he stood up to the israelis in a forth right and violent way he did gain a measure of popularity here in lebanon and other places in the arab world, but now as this destruction has swept across the area, iran and some iran's proxies in the region, from my conversations here in lebanon and elsewhere a certain amount of regret even though he's admired for standing up to the israelis. he's not going to be necessarily someone who's lost. he's not a character who a lot of people wish had survived, he brought destruction and he was willing to put so many palestinian lives at risk and kill so many palestinians, the

people with who he claimed to protect in the cause of trying to liberate palestine. >> matt, briefly, as practical matter, how might his death impact where you're standing in beirut, the fighting that's been going on between hezbollah and israel and more broadly search for peace? >> reporter: yeah, i mean, it's a great question and we've been asking ourselves since we heard the news, it's difficult to know, all these different theaters of conflict, in terms of retaliation of israel against iran. they're all woven together, but at the same time they're all entirely separate. they're both at the same time. it's very complicated. we don't know how yahya sinwar's

death is going to end. we don't know how the fighting in gaza is going to end. >> matt bradley, thank you so much. >> thank you. we really are in the final sprint now, just 19 days to go until election day. >> people across the country already casting their ballots, early voting began today in crucial swing state of north carolina, that's what you see there, former president trump is new york today for the al smith dinner a charity fund-raiser which has historically attended by both republican and democrat candidates. >> vice president harris is skipping that event, though, instead she's barnstorming in the battleground state of wisconsin, she wrapped up her first of three events there today, on the heels of her heated interview with fox news last night the conversation started off with this exchange over immigration. >> i'm glad you raised the issue of immigration, because i agree with you, it's a topic of discussion that people want to rightly have. and you know what i'm going to

talk about -- >> just a number. 1 million, 3 million -- >> brett, let's get to the point, the point is we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired. >> your homeland security -- >> i'm not finished. i'm not finished. >> peter alexander is traveling with the vice president in wisconsin, and with us here on set, vaughn hillyard who covers the trump campaign, good to see you both. peter, i want to start with you, the vice president has been on a media blitz all week, the reaction from this fox interview. >> reporter: we heard from the communications director from the harris campaign saying overnight, they believe she demonstrated the toughness, they accomplished what they wanted to, reaching out independent and conservative voters.

they feel good about where they are right now. the message in many ways was focused on a particular demographic, among those republicans, the 17% of republicans who in states like pennsylvania voted for nikki haley, the former presidential candidate who was really opposes trump throughout the early primary season, they hope they can peel off a limited number of those republicans as undecided independents. they think that could help them. >> vaughn, the perspective from the trump campaign and their camp on that interview last night was quite different. trump took part in a town hall last night for univision, talk about what happened there. >> undecided independent voters or conservatives, folks who may see the january 6th attack in the same way that liz cheney when she was on the january 6th select committee showed the

american public how that attack unfolded. in that town hall last night donald trump was asked a very specific question about the way he views that attack today. >> nothing done wrong. at all. nothing done wrong. action was taken, strong action, ashley babbitt was killed, nobody was killed. there were no guns. we didn't have guns. the others had guns. a day of love. it could have been the largest group i've ever spoken. >> reporter: this has been donald trump's defense in his role in the events leading up to january 6th for the last 3.5 years, on january 6th this year the anniversary that i asked him, attempted to ask him if he had any regrets, he ignored my question that day and he's misrepresent what transpired, 140 police officers were assaulted that day, five police

officers would end up dying by suicide in the months that followed. individuals beat officers with violent weapons, yet donald trump is trying to hold on to his base of support. yet, the kamala harris campaign with that fox interview believes there are some conservatives, independents don't like the actions on that day. >> peter, i want to end with you briefly, what events is the vice president taking part in wisconsin. >> reporter: here in las cross here, end her day in green bay, sixth visit to the state of the wisconsin since becoming a presidential campaign. this state is going to be critical in 2020, joe biden won in just 20,000 votes. a recent poll four-point advantage for kamala harris,

that's well within with the margin of error. tuesday, the 22nd, early voting begins in this state, in person, barack obama will be here then. back to you. >> thank you both so much. let's head now to today's money minute. president biden is forgiving more student debt. >> and mcdonald's feeling a french fry crunch. the biden administration announced today that it would forgive another $4.5 billion in student debt, the action impacts more than 60,000 borrowers in the education department's public service loan forgiveness program. today's announcement brings the total amount of student debt relief under the administration to $175 billion. meta is laying off employees across various departments including whatsapps and reality labs, the company said employees

>> the truth is, lyle and erik were failed by the very people who should have protected them, by their parents, by the system, by society at large. they've already paid a heavy price, discarded by a system that failed to recognize their -- >> liz kreutz joins us now from los angeles. when could we see a decision? from the district attorney. >> reporter: it seems like the d.a. is hoping to move quickly here, he said that he told me yesterday he wants to make a decision on whether to recommend resentencing within the next ten days, he's currently weighing all the evidence, he's not made ra decision yet, but from speaking with him it's clear that he's somewhat sympathetic to the brothers. based on the evidence he's seen

so far he doesn't think they should spend more time. take a listen to what the brothers' cousin had to say. >> despite their circumstances they've chosen a life of light, without hope of release they persevered. lyle and erik deserve a chance to heal. >> reporter: now, not everybody in the family supports them the brothers, majority of family does believe they should be released but their uncle believes they're motivated by greed, their attorney, his attorney said he doesn't believe that the boys were molested, the brothers were molested and should stay behind bars. the district attorney continues to weigh evidence. he's looking at prison files.

he'll make that decision and if he does the make the recommendation of resentencing, a judge would make the ultimate decision, guys. one direction fans around the world are mourning the death of former band member liam payne. >> he died on wednesday outside a hotel in argentina, an autopsy reports show he suffered internal and external bleeding. payne was just 31 years old. chloe melas, what is his family saying. >> reporter: his family is asking for privacy right now during this awful time and they say obviously they're always going to remember what a wonderful human being he was, you know as we're talking about his personal life, he leaves behind a 7-year-old son and he would talk about him often in interviews, we have yet to hear from his fellow one direction

for people to stop, drop and take cover. those critical seconds are supposed to also be enough for transit agencies like bart to stop the trains before the earth starts moving. our photographer got experience with what that 6.9 loma prieta earthquake felt like in the cal academy simulator. uc berkeley is hosting something similar today on campus as well. and while most of us have felt smaller earthquakes through the years, this really puts the loma prieta and the 7.9 san francisco quake of 1906 in perspective. it makes you realize just how much you move. you know, when these quakes hit and you just you think about what it was like for people who were experiencing it live and you just realize, like, what? what were they thinking? it must have felt like the end of the world. earlier this morning, mayor london breed and congressman kevin mullin presented the proposed earthquake resilience act at pier nine in san francisco, which would require a national risk assessment because there is seismic activity, not just in the bay area but beyond, and

would direct the u.s. geological survey, the usgs to enhance seismic monitoring as well. if you haven't gotten the myshake app, you can get it for free through the app store that you use. we will definitely be asking questions today about why some people got the test, and why some people did not. in hayward, kris sanchez, nbc bay area news. hey, drop the charges. dropped the charges. micha hancock charges. protesters lined a san francisco court asking a judge to drop charges against pro-palestinian protesters. the demonstrators shut down the golden gate bridge earlier this year, and their attorneys are questioning gia bias, and today asked the court to remove the entire district attorney's office from this case. this is based on alleged emails and posts from those in the office. the judge shut down that motion a few hours ago and ruled there is insufficient evidence to meet that criteria of case law. of course, as you

heard in there, i told the judge that i hoped he would do the hard thing, which is the right thing. a decision that, you kno, he would look back at and not regret and feel proud of. protesters in court say this decision will not stop them from mobilizing. we have reached out to the da's office and have not heard back yet. and of course, we are continuing to follow the murder trial of cashapp founder bob lee. day four of the trial. he was found stabbed to death in san francisco last year and police arrested nima momeni. our christy smith is in the court right now, and she will have more in our 5:00 newscast. and happening tonight, the autumn lights festival returns in oakland. the event is a fundraiser for the gardens at lake merritt, where a which was established more than a half a century ago. the friends of the gardens at lake merritt are putting on the festival. the autumn lights festival is to help enhance the seven acre collection of themed gardens in the city, and the festival starts at 6:00 tonight. you can buy tickets online. that does it

yesterday denied recommendation of clemency the governor doesn't have the authority to grant a pardon what the governor could grant a 30-day reprieve which roberson's attorneys have asked for, give them time to present this evidence of his daughter's medical history. there are also two other things that ear watching, one, yesterday in the texas legislatiure they began reviewig this case, that requires a review of cases that are based on junk science given what has happened around the issue of shaken baby syndrome and the changes around the medical consensus around that over the past several decades and they have subpoenaed roberson as part of their case, there are questions about whether you can execute someone who's been subpoenaed and the possibility that the supreme court could step in the last minute to halt this execution, but both of

those are very rare and that subpoena issued is unprecedented, so unclear at this point what could happen and whether there's still an opportunity for this to be halted. >> price sill that thompson, thank you so much. nbc news spoke to the former lead detective who feels very differently about this now. italy is cracking down on people in their country who travel abroad to have a baby via sur gassy. >> they passed a law that would criminalize the practice, they could face up to two years in prison and fines. domestic surrogacy in italy we know is illegal. why is the italian government taking this extra step? >> reporter: if you put that question to the prime minister and her right-wing coalition government, this is about preserving the integrity of

women, an election pledge, she took office two years ago and has pursued a socially conservative agenda as traditional family values, the bill passed in the lower house last year, the final step was for the bill to pass in the senate as you mentioned that happened yesterday, only after seven-hour vote, the final vote, surrogacy, now it's a crime beyond its borders. if they go to canada and u.s. where it's legal, they face up to $1 million after the vote meloni said this was about common sense and what she says was the exploitation of the female body and children. >> danielle, critics of the law said it's going to hit lgbtq

parents particularly hard, what's the potential impact. >> reporter: a bit of context, italy is a country where the birthrate is very low, declining consecutively for 15 years, majority of parents who go abroad are heterosexual parents, a small minority 10% according to experts are lgbtq-plus, adoption was illegal, now this is off the table which means it makes it very difficult for them to become parents legally in italy, those activists who oppose the bill this is a right-wing crusade against diverse families. >> danielle, thank you. now to an "nbc news daily" original this hour, devastating weather events like the hurricanes in southeast calls for residents in storm's path to evacuate but for those who are incarcerated the decision on whether to stay or evacuate is out of their hands.

hurricane-proof, then in that case there's no obligation. >> reporter: during hurricane milton the florida department of corrections said it relocated almost 6,000 incarcerated people of 87,500 in the state. nbc news reached out to multiple florida counties for comment. manatee county said -- for sherman singleton each storm serves as a reminder. as someone who's incarcerated during a natural disaster d you feel that your rights were being met? >> i felt that they were not prepared, you can't just let people die. that's not part of the sentence. >> thank you so much. an nbc news exclusive this hour, a new innovation in medical technology is bringing life-saving treatment to infants and young children, a sent the used to treat heart issues but
