hey, everybody. good afternoon. i'm yasmin vo suvian. as the president wrapped up a speech on a new agreement struck by the white house to avert a rail strike, that threatened massive disruptions across the country. what the new agreement could give rail workers complaining about worsening conditions since this pandemic began. plus republican governors are escalating their tactics over the president's border policy. some playing to fly migrants to places mike martha's vineyard, some dropping off outside vice president harris' d.c. residence all without any warning. a federal judge set to decide on

whether she will stay part of her order and allow the justice department to access the 100-plus documents seized at the former president's residence. and then across the atlantic in london, mourners are lining up for miles outside westminster hall to view queen elizabeth's coffin as she lies in state. we'll take you there live with the latest updates as well. we start with that breakthrough agreement for america's railways. a short time ago the president announcing that frustrate rail workers will get better pay and improved working conditions and health care benefits. >> this is a win for tens of thousands of rail workers and for their dignity and the dignity of their work. it's a recognition of that. because of the labor agreement, those rail workers will get better pay, 24% wage increase over the next five years, improved working conditions, peace of mind around their health care by capping the cost

that workers will have to pay. >> so a strike would have greatly, by the way, affected both supply chains and passenger services with nearly 40% of goods shipped long distance using the system. following this announcement, the international brotherhood of teamsters released a statement thursday ap plauing the efforts of its members in reaching this deal. nbc's chief white house correspondent peter alexander is there and following the story. great to talk to you. obviously the president laying out some of the details in a speech he just gave around an hour or so ago, kind of expand on that, if you will, peter, for us. >> reporter: well, we understand from the president and his aides, he was heavy involved in this process yesterday as part of the 20 hours of face-to-face negotiations that took place. i'm told there was finally a handshake at 2:30 this morning. at 4:30 this morning the teamsters board signed off on this, all in a last-minute

effort to sign off on what the president acknowledged would have been serious problems for the supply chain in this country right now. senior white house official explaining to us a short time ago some of the details that the president called in to those negotiations about 9:00 last night and basically said you've got to be flexible, be creative and get this done. failure is not an option, according to officials at the white house. you talked about what one of the real pacts would have been which would have been the inability to move freight around the country, but also an impact on passengers as well. amtrak already affected. preemptively they shut down some of their long distance routes. they're not amtrak tracks, they're tracks run by the frustrate companies. that's why they had to do that as a potential precaution here. right now amtrak says they're reaching out to the passengers trying to get them on the first available trains, trying to get the trains that were canceled back up and going again to restore those trains at this time.

this is obviously just two months ahead of the midterms, yasmin. this is a big victory, not just for the american people, but the administration because they stave off the potential for real problems on the economy. the president walked away from the podium, and he was asked about food prices going up 11% year over year. he said the rails are running again, those prices are not going to go up. insisting that where they are is the peak. >> peter, do we know when the membership vote is happening? >> it's a good question. we don't know when the membership vote will be happening. what is important about that, part of this agreement, a key element is what is described as a cooling-off peer yochld even if the vote fails, they wouldn't go to an immediate shutdown. that is a little bit of a reprieve to sort things out if it doesn't pass the membership. you're hearing praise from all

sides. it appears based on the words we're hearing publicly that they think they're in good shape to get the votes from the members. >> thank you, peter. appreciate it. we'll continue this conversation in a couple minutes with labor secretary marty walsh who got a personal thank you from the president at his remarks from the white house. let's switch gears and talk about migrants crossing the border in texas, have now arrived outside the vice president's d.c. residents. sent there by none other that texas government greg abbott in his latest effort to politicize the men, women and children crossing the border. two planes full of migrants arrived in martha's vineyard. i want to bring in gary grom back outside the vice president's residence. solve of these migrants held children in hand during this long trip. walk us through what's going on

there, what these governors are looking to prove and what's going to happen to these people? where are they going, where will they sleep tonight? >> washington, d.c. is not new to migrants showing up by buses and getting here in washington, d.c. what's new here is why they are here and what they're doing up here in northwest d.c. governor greg abbott has been doing this for months, almost weekly since april, delivering by bus these migrants to washington, d.c. this is 101 men, women and children were dropped off right here and governor abbott has -- i'll send it back to you. >> gary, i know you've got a little heckler behind you which oftentimes happens in live shots like this, especially politicized situations like this. certainly, if we can get gary back after that -- i they we've got gary back.

take us through once again. thanks for sticking with us. >> reporter: absolutely. so they were caught by surprise. the secret service was caught by surprise when 101 men, women and children arrived here between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m. the d.c. government was caught by surprise who instituted an emergency order last week and created an office of migrant services to deal with such thing. they have been delivered to the union station area in downtown d.c. where they're able to be helped. tonight it was because of the vice president's comments on "meet the press" on sunday where she said she didn't believe there was a border crisis. she said the border was secure. here is what a volunteer had to tell me about how they're handling this all. >> we're working with the district to address this immediately as we found out. now they are getting food, clothing, hygiene kits and we'll start working with them to arrange travel for their next destination. they were not expected to be left in this residential area

for an even stronger political statement. >> reporter: as you've been reporting, it's not just washington, d.c. governor desantis sent two plane loads full to martha's vineyard, not nearly as equipped to handle the migrants as new york city or washington, d.c. >> gary grom bach, thank you. we're awaiting a decision from judge cannon on the department of justice's formal request that around 100 classified documents be excluded from a review of documents seized from the former president's residence, mar-a-lago. doj lawyers are requesting that decision today as they push to resume their investigation linked to these classified documents. i want to bring in nbc justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian. there's lots of coulds, shoulds happening here. the doj asking for this deadline to be today for judge cannon, to

make her decision when it comes to these 100 or so classified documents. she doesn't have to, though, ken, make that decision. do we still have ken or did he lose lighting? >> i'm here. can you hear me? >> all right. take it from there, ken, if you would. we're not necessarily going to get this decision, there's a possibility she could make it by deadlines set by the doj. >> reporter: this is the thing the doj asked the judge to do, which is to stay her order temporarily while they appeal it and to allow them to have access to the more than 100 classified documents they seized at mar-a-lago because they can't even do the damage assessment to see whether sources and methods have been compromised based on her order. she's saying the fbi can't use it in the criminal investigation, so, therefore, they're saying the intelligence community can't use them either. you'll recall the trump team filed a brief in responding to

this and saying the doj was wrong. yesterday the doj fired back and said that national security is being harmed right now by this delay. so the doj has given this judge until today to rule on this matter. they said, if she doesn't, they're going to take it up on appeal to the 11th circuit and ask the 11th circuit to temporarily put this thing on hold. the there's nothing binding this judge. she can do whatever she wants. i think we can expect filing from the doj either tonight or tomorrow morning appealing and asking the 11th circuit to impose this temporary stay while they litigate. a lot of legal experts have looked at this saying the law is on the side of the justice department. when the executive branch comes to the judge and says we think national security is at risk, we need these documents, generally the courts defer to that, yasmin. this judge has not done so so far, we'll have to wait and see.

>> my question is how enthusiastic, how ready is the doj to file this appeal to the 11th circuit considering the makeup, the majority trump appointed judges of the 11th circuit. >> that's a great question. very sophisticated legal question. you're absolutely right. there is some trepidation there. they don't want to make bad law. they believe this whole notion of having a special master review these documents is completely off base. they think there's nothing in the law that really calls for this and that this entire judge's ruling is bad, but right now they're arguing about a narrow set of documents. they think that's their strongest argument, and it remains to be seen whether they're going to appeal to the 11th circuit the entire order or if they'll say we're fine with the special smas center reviewing everything else, but not these classified documents because this is about national

security. there's no possible argument they could be assigned attorney-client privilege because that's the point of the special master. >> arguably, ken, my goal in life is to ask sophisticated legal questions. that's the best compliment i could have o gotten. >> there you go. how black voters are fighting back against the rise of anti critical race theory laws. senator lindsey graham is standing firm and defending the timing of his federal 15-week abortion ban bill. a tennis legend announcing his retirement. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

members of the administration who worked tirelessly on both sides to get this done. i especially want to thank marty walsh, first union labor secretary in decades for his tireless work. >> that man joining us now, labor secretary marty walsh, likely up on red bull or coffee. secretary walsh, i know you're quite tired. we appreciate you giving us some time today. how did you get it done? >> the president expressed to me very early on this is a really important negotiation for our country, for the supply chain, but also for the workers here. basically what happened is we brought both sides in, yesterday the department of labor at 8:30 in the morning, we started talking at 9:00 in the morning, literally keeping both sides at the table and passing back

proposals and we were able to accomplish. we wrapped up by about 3:30. the next two hours was about reading the documents and getting signatures on them. >> secretary walsh, you tweeted about how catastrophic a rail strike could have been for this economy and the supply chain issues that are already so prevalent in our economy. talk us through what that would have looked like and how close we were to that happening. >> to be honest with you, you think about what we've gone through in the last two years with the pandemic and getting the economy up and running again, if the strike were to happen, the projections were about $2 billion in lost revenue every day in goods and services going across the united states of america. potentially 30,000 workers laid off outside of what was going to be on strike. so we were close. but to having real troubles, but we had two committed sides that wanted to get a deal done. this negotiation has been going on for over two years. the president put together an

emergency board. they came back with recommendations. >> membership vote hasn't happened yet. how confident are you this is going to come through? >> i feel confident. the leadership of the unions will talk about what's in this deal. i think there's a lot of good things in this deal for workers and respecting workers and certainly the president was very clear today as well that he respects the workers who work on the train. they took us through a pandemic. they've been working with other contractors for the last two years. it's important that they're respected. i think when they get a chance to hear their leadership and their negotiating teams about what's in this deal, i hope we'll get a positive vote. >> a lot of anger surrounding these negotiations, members felt as if they were being mistreated through it all. why did it take so long? i know the administration kicked the can a little down the road over the summer. why does it take until this point a possible rail strike in order to actually get it done?

why not get it done sooner. >> last night before i left the rooms, i said to both sides, you need to start earlier, you need to get a contract done, have respect at the table and you can't wait. what happened in this particular negotiation -- i can't speak to what happened over the last two years, i've only been involved the last couple months, really there was a breakdown of communication. what we found last night you don't have a breakdown in communication when two sides stay at the table. >> labor secretary marty walsh, hopefully you'll get some sleep today or at least a quick nap. we appreciate you giving us a couple minutes. thank you, sir. >> thank you very much. indiana's near total abortion ban is now in effect. the first new ban to be passed by state legislature after the overturn of roe, planned parenthood calling it a devastating day. multiple lawsuits making their way through the court. senator lindsey graham doubling down on his decision to propose a federal abortion ban when that's the last thing his fellow

republicans want to be talking about. >> i'm not going to apologize, won't ever apologize about standing up for the unborn. >> i gotcha. >> ali vitali, take us to capitol hill. we heard the reaction, the initial reaction from senator mitch mcconnell about this, this should be in the hands of the states. lots of republicans putting their hands up, backing away from this, not understanding what snat senator lindsey graham is proposing. he's doubling down. what reaction are we hearing now? >> that's not how it's playing out here. there are many republicans who think this was a strategic error at a time when they don't want to be talking about abortion or even same-sex marriage. both of those pushes happening concurrently in the senate right now just a few steps from where i am at this camera. that's what senators are talking

about today. instead, most republicans would prefer to be talking about inflation numbers and the economy. that's where they feel their best position to take seats both in the house and the senate in these upcoming midterms. by senator graham putting this on the table, the most prominent action we have seen from a republican in washington since the dobbs decision came down earlier this summer, this now has republicans on their back heel on this. many democracy seizing on this moment as a key moment of juxtaposition between the parties. you and i both know this is an issue that a has completely reshaped the landscape of the 2020 midterms. we thought it was going to be a cycle that benefited republicans. instead what we're seeing in poll after poll, voters saying this is an issue driving them to the polls, the majority of which are democrats. now it's to the point where even speaker nancy pelosi who was clearly feeling good yesterday when i was in her press conference not only saying this is an issue that republicans keep digging themselves deeper

on, by putting forward 15-week national abortion bans, but also going so far as to say she thinks they'll keep the house in 2022. they're feeling momentum in a positive direction. >> will they carry it until november? that's the question. let's head across the pond. happening in london, no end in sight for those lining up to pay their final respects to the late queen. her coffin laying in state in westminster hall until her funeral on monday. lines stretching for at least two miles. joining me now is nbc's kelly cobiella. take us there, if you will, just a couple days away from the queen's funeral on monday, happening september 19th. still, as i mentioned, millions of people lining up 24 hours a day to pay their respects. >> reporter: that's right, yasmin. we have updated figures for you.

we're watching the department of culture's website. they say that the wait now to get in to westminster hall to view and pay respects to the queen is nine hours long at least, and that line is now more than four miles long. so, yeah, a lot of people wanting to get in and just take in the atmosphere inside westminster hall and, of course, pay their respects to the late queen. we didn't see king charles today. he didn't have any public events. he is expected to be in that hall tomorrow evening with his siblings, princess anne, prince andrew and prince edward holding vigil like they did at st. giles cathedral in edinburgh. that's tomorrow evening. today we saw prince william and princess kate at the queen's norfolk estate saying thank you to the people who have come to

lay floral tributes and continue to come to lay floral tributes. prince william was overheard talking to a member of the crowd saying that he found yesterday's procession difficult and it brought back memories. prince william was just 15 years old when his mother diana died 25 years ago this year. he had to walk behind her coffin in that very public funeral back in 1997. we all remember those very poignant and difficult images. there are more processions to come, yasmin. on the day of the funeral, next monday there are three processions. prince william will be in all of them. the first will be from westminster hall to westminster abbey where the funeral will be held. he'll be walking behind his grandmother's coffin, along with prince harry and the king, king charles. that funeral will be attended by 2,000 people. that's the maximum capacity of

westminster abbey. it's one hour long. after that funeral prince william, prince harry, other members of the royal family along with king charles will be part of yet another procession, even bigger than the one we saw yesterday. it's just under two miles long and it goes from westminster abbey back here across buckingham palace and up constitutional hill if you're familiar with london to the arch that's at the top of the hill. it's called well ton arch. that's where the queen's coffin will be placed in a hearse. she'll be taken to windsor and we'll see a third procession up the long walk, that famous long walk up to the castle and to st. george's chapel where the final public service will be held. >> i've got to say, in reference to what prince william said about the procession yesterday, the images were so familiar in comparison to when we saw both prince william and prince harry behind their mother's coffin as

they walked as such young children going through such a tragic time and then seeing it again just yesterday walking behind their grandmother, the queen's coffin as well. quite a moment there to say the least, and having to do it so publicly must be so difficult, even though they are members of the royal family. kelly cobiella for us. thank you so much. coming up, russia's president, vladimir putin and china's xi jinping meet amid the kremlin's military losses in ukraine. what we know about their discussions, but first, a very different type of summit happening at the white house aimed at combating hate-fueled violence. that's coming up. in the morning blocks excess acid production for a full 24 hours. unlike pepcid, which stops working after 9. 24 hour protection. prilosec otc one pill, 24 hours, zero heartburn. it's the all-new subway series menu! 12 irresistible new subs...

hate-based content. joining me is nbc senior white house correspondent kelly o'donnell. the vice president delivering the welcoming remarks earlier this morning. what did she say about what they hoped to come from this summit? >> reporter: certainly they want to shine a light on a problem we've all seen exposed in lots of different communities where hate violence has dave stating effects in people's lives. it sometimes plays out in houses of worship, in places we go on typical parts of our day, a grocery store, a school setting, and trying to look at ways for how can as a society we address issues that deal with the motivations behind this, how can technology be used, how can laws be leveraged to try to deal with some of these ills in society that are targeting minority communities based on faith, based on race, based on people's sexual orientation and to try to

address some of this because the temperature in the country has gotten very hot at times in ways that divide us. earlier today the vice president talked about this. here is kamala harris. >> later today our president will announce or wour to develop and strengthen our response to support communities that have been touched, that have been hurt by this violence. as we will discuss during the day, this federal support must be just one piece of a whole of society effort to address hate-fueled violence. >> reporter: there were many guests invited to participate at this event today from all walks of life. prior to the railroad issue that has been dealt with today and been a big part of the

conversation in our news coverage today, this had been a main focus of what the white house wanted to talk about because it has been such a big part of american life over recent years, and it falls into our political experience, it falls into the family life as people are trying to explain to their children what's happening with these examples of violence that spills out, not just from typical crime, but from hate-motivated crime. ways to look at social media, ways to look at the workplace and how can existing laws and new laws and new steps that the federal government can take to try to address some of this. >> certainly permeates every part of our life. kelly o'donnell, as always, we thank you. we are continuing to monitor this potential ruling from judge cannon on the inclusion of classified documents as part of a review into records recovered from the former president's mar-a-lago residence. doj requesting that ruling by today, warning a filing if they don't get it, they'll seek an

appeal. >> harry litman, former deputy assistant attorney general. thank you for joining us. can we pick up where we just left off, this idea that essentially the doj saying, deadline today, judge cannon doesn't have to give a decision either way today. the doj asking for today, for the decision to come down, if not appeal to the 11th circuit which, by the way, is majority trump-appointed judges. what's the calculation for the doj in filing this appeal, knowing the court makeup, and is there a likelihood we could get to the decision. >> sure she's a district court judge. they don't have to do anything they don't want to. she knows it's kind of an interim effect, they're going to file this appeal tomorrow. she was really pilloied from all sides and was a pretty modest request for a stay those 100 classified documents, it

would be i think silly of her to stay silent and let the doj go forward tomorrow. i think we can expect it might be 11:59, but i think we can expect a ruling today. on the doj, it's a conservative circuit. it's true. they are very, very much in the right here, again on those documents, not the faintest argument that he has any interest on them. you've got to play the hand you're dealt. district court, 11th circuit, even supreme court. >> you don't think they're worried about the 11th circuit considering it's a majority trump-appointed judges? >> worried? they know where they have to go. i wouldn't say worried. there's several conservative circuits. that's one of them. >> they feel confident it's open and shut? >> what a sophisticated legal question. >> did it again. did it again. >> i think they know they're in the right. by that i don't mean the advocates's confidence, any first-year student's confidence.

she has no basis forgiving him any, any possibility of having a possessory interest in these hundred. >> we heard from the former president, i believe on hugh hewitt show, about blanket declassification. i hereby declassify all these documents at my residence at mar-a-lago. that's how we imagine it happening. let's take a listen to what he had to say. we don't actually have the sound. we know what he said. do we have it now, mike? we have it. let's play it. >> mr. patel said he witnessed you giving verbal orders to declassify the papers that ended up at mar-a-lago. do you remember making those orders? >> that's correct. not only that, i think it was other people also were there. i have the absolute right to declassify. a president has that absolute right. a lot of people aren't even challenging that anymore. >> what i find so curious is none of the filings from the

former president's attorneys include this defense of this blanket declassification. i'll go on to read from "the washington post" saying, in a filing in response to the doj request on monday, trump's lawyers suggestively cast doubt on whether the documents are actually classified. they repeatedly used skeptical quotation marks around the phrase classified records, but usually they yet again declined to say trump actually declassified them and instead cast that as an issue to, quote, be determined later. what do you make of that? >> two things. first, you're exactly right. they say again and again, well, the government says it's classified. guess what? that's what classification means t. government puts the classified marking on it. the notion that it's for a judge later is really hogwash. besides that, it's screaming out that he says this in the public sphere but won't repeat it in the papers. what they say in the papers is,

well, maybe they declassified. in a court of law you need a declaration, you need evidence. they won't give it. i think the obvious inference there is it didn't happen. >> harry litman, great to see you. >> likewise. we got juicy tidbits about the trump presidency ahead of the release of a new book "the divider, trump in the white house 2017 to 2021." it's out on tuesday. but the details of it are out today. the book has a previously unreported episode, then hold land security secretary kirstjen nielsen telling a top aide five senior administration including secretaries of defense, education and interior considered a mass resignation during a particularly chaotic time ahead of the 2018 midterms. peter baker himself writes about another part of the book in today's "times" saying it was billionaire ronald lauder who

convinced trump the u.s. should buy greenland, supported by then national security adviser john bolton. in another shocking episode, the book reports the former president once offered jordan's king abdullah the second control of the west bank. it should go without saying, by the way, that the west bank is not the american president's to give away. after the break, china's most public embrace of the russian president since the war in ukraine began. we'll be right back.

the terrible choices that we did welcome back. to ukraine now. a scary moment for president volodymyr zelenskyy when a car slammed into his motorcade early this morning in the capital city. a spokesperson saying he suffered no serious injuries. he was returning from a visit to one of the key cities recaptured by ukrainian forces. he says troops have taken back 2300 square miles of russian-occupied territory since the start of the month. russia has hit back, launches missiles into central ukraine that broke a major dam and caused significant flooding as well. president putin meeting with president xi jinping in uzbekistan. they're expected to discuss not only the war in ukraine but other issues including taiwan

and increased oil exports. nbc's janis mackey frayer is on the ground for us in beijing. we talked about a few days ago the reporting that russia was receiving weapons from both iran and north korea. you couple that with this possibility of an even stronger alliance between both xi and putin with this meeting in mind. of course, xi's interest in taiwan, watching what plays out in ukraine, certainly troubling for the united states as they watch this. >> reporter: what was interesting about this meeting was the vibe, if we can call it that. these are two men who have met dozens of times. they have a personal relationship. but this really had the air of formality to it. it wasn't the warmth that we saw when they met here earlier this year, made the declaration about a friendship with no limits only

to have russia invade ukraine a few weeks later. we know china has never publicly supported russia's war in ukraine, but it has never publicly condemned it. so when putin conceded this evening that he is aware that china has, quote, questions and concerns about the war in ukraine, it was a rare admission and it suggests two things. first of all, there's no guarantee of material support from beijing, and that support is no longer unequivocal. secondly, it suggests that beijing may be anxious about appearing to back what could be a losing party in the war. this meeting comes at a very fragile time for both countries as russia and china are both at odds with the west. but for russia in particular, forces are losing ground in ukraine.

they're retreating from the east, from territory that took months to capture. putin is also acknowledging that china has had a balanced position on the war in russia. so he is trying to endorse the neutrality that china has been pushing. for china's part, the readout was very detached, boilerplate pledges of cooperation. they will still continue to do business with russia, but it's not going to be the keep core support that russia may be looking for. >> janis mackey frayer, thank you. great to talk to you. up next, everybody, the power of black voters. we're live at one of the largest historically black universities in the country on the fight against anti critical race theory laws. that's not good. well, except humana. they see me. after my back surgery, humana sent a home health nurse for five days.

shelves. and polices teachers at risk for race or racism. a new series is taking us across the country to speak with young black voters and the issues that matter most them. the first stop is texas southern university and that have where he joins me now. it's great to talk to you. i know you moderated a town hall that focused on these kind of anti-crt laws and what black voters can actually do about it. how they fight back. what stood out to you? what did you learn? >> reporter: it's always great to be on the campus of an hbcu. and to be here at tsu, engage students and educators and thinking thinkers about this issue, because in so many ways, texas has become ground zero over the story we tell about

america, the and everything in between. it was a great opportunity to hear from them. let's take a listen. >> what matters is we have all been taught the history of a country that does notes exist. so the history of a country we haven. taught doesn't explain january 6th or why we have legislatures trying to make it more duflt to vote. why we have one political party now saying democracy is not majority white. we may not believe in democracy anymore. >> i personally believe that the attack on crt is more of a situation where some people don't want their grandparents to be seen, they don't want their aunts and uncles to be seen in those pictures of lynchings. they are going to recognize those faces. >> reporter: this fight has become a about more than just what's in a textbook. it's about the fabric of this

society and what's there. >> i wonder as you're kind of beginning this tour, what are you hearing matters most heading into the midterm elections? is it these laws that are in place or these people speaking out against crt and taking books off the shelves, or is it something else? >> reporter: what i found here at texas southern is there's an overla. the same lawmakers were pushing these anti-crt bills are pushing policy that attacks a woman's reproductive rights. the same ones that are gerrymandering voting districts. it's always parts of a bigger machine here. so it is all of those things combined, but they see one for all those others. for black folks in particular, it's not lost that the franchise in certain ways is fragile at this moment. so all those things together. >> so what are they saying?

bha are these young black voters saying about what they need to do to stop it, to fight back? >> the first thing for the lens of crt and the truth about america's his are you and being seen, it's addressing that truth. >> one thing i hear over and again, especially from political analyst types, plaque voters are apathetic. young black are plugged in. with everything we have heard, how do you think all that will shape how people on this campus were generally will be going to the poles. >> i think it puts into perspective why it's so important and why they are really stripping this history. >> reporter: with very important midterms approaching and a

governor's race, we will see how much this helped to organize. >> with will. thank you. episode one with tremaine is available now. thank you. before we go, wanted to pass along what we have been teasing all hour. roger federer announcing his retirement after 24 years, 20 majors, the superstar tennis player saying time and injuries have caught up with him. he's going to play one more time in the cup later on this month. this is a one-two punch for the world of tennis after serena williams announced her retirement two weeks ago. a real end to a tenniser ra. that wraps up this hour. thank you for watching. you can catch me on weekends starting at 2:00 p.m. eastern. chris jansing picks up our coverage after a very short break. ur coverage after a very short break. ♪ ♪
