candidates donald trump and jeb bush. at issue, trump's controversial remarks about the 9/11 attacks and then president george w. bush. nbc national correspondent peter alexander has more on all of this. peter, good morning to you? >> hey, matt, good monday morning to you. this line of attacks has clearly infuriated jeb bush, criticized for being too passive and trump's repeated jabs for much of this campaign. this time he's all in defending his brother and taking aim at republican party's front-runner. >> this morning feud between donald trump and jeb bush is boiling over, this time a fight over bush's brother and 9/11. >> i don't want jeb bush to say my brother kept us safe because september 11th was one of the worst days in the history of this country. >> my brother responded to a crisis, and he did it as you would hope a president would do. he united the country. >> reporter: the dispute started simmering sglid when you talk about george bush, i mean, say what you want, the world trade center came down during his time.

more than a month. they have been waiting for the right moment to pounce, and take a look at this. bush is fund-raising off the fierce back and forth this morning. this is from his campaign's website enough is enough, it reads, but analysts said time going after trump is time lost and defining yourself for voters and time until the first vote is cast is running low. >> peter, thank you. >> on the democratic signs are there new signs that vice president joe biden is leading into a entry into the race? that beat this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. sources close to the vice president say a decision could come any day now and most democrats agree a final answer can't come soon enough w.haven't joe biden nearing a decision, he attended mass sunday speaking out briefly to the press. although not exactly answering the question on everyone's mind.

accepted a human rights award in new york and was met with brief shouts of run, joe, run. >> run, joe, run. >> reporter: he gave no indication about his future plans. instead paying tribute to his late son beau who encouraged him to run before he passed away. >> as my son beau used to say, just keep moving forward. >> reporter: now, as for hillary clinton, she takes a break from the trail to prepare for a chrystal test. on thursday she testifies before the committee investigating the attack against the u.s. consulate in benghazi. biden watching all of it as he deliberates, well aware his window is quickly closing. savannah, matt. >> all right, kristen, thank you very much. what is at stake for hillary clinton as she prepares to testify before that committee? >> reporter: well, matt, that's a good question, and the reality is the stakes couldn't be higher for hillary clinton. that's why she's taking the prep time so seriously. if she's does well, she could turn the page not only on questions surrounding her handling. benghazi attack but also to some

extent on the controversially over her e-mails which she's going to be questioned about as well. clinton can't afford any missteps or to lose her temper. you'll recall she did that momentarily the last time she testified. now, as for biden, he could wait to make an announcement until after she testifies, but his supporters are urging him to announce a final decision beforehand arguing he could look calculating if he waits until her testimony, and that could undercut his argument that he's running for his own reasons and not because clinton is somehow a weakened canned day. matt, savannah, back to you. >> kristen, thanks very much. if the presidential race moves forward, we want to let you know that donald trump will be joining us for a live town hall meeting with new hampshire voters. that is next monday, a week from today, right here on "today." story mention tds at top, the emergency landing at l.a.x. overnight triggered by a dispute between passengers reportedly over a reclining seat. nbc's tom costello covers aviation for us. tom, what's this one all about?

reinforce its operations in syria, sending in more people, sending in top level organizers like al nasser and that his death could be a blow to efforts by damage to reinforce the operations in syria. there is, however, another way to look at this. there is something of a rivalry going on right now with both the u.s. and russia carrying out air strikes against isis operatives in syria, against al qaeda operatives in syria, and this time this weekend u.s. officials say it was us, not moscow, that killed this senior al qaeda leader in syria. matt, savannah, back to you. >> richard engel on this story, thanks very much. here at home millions are waking up to the coldest temperatures of the season foe far. i knew it was cold when matt wore a snuggie into the studio this morning. >> oh, my. that's a real treat we all wait for. i've got to show you some weather video we've got in as snow in upstate new york.

man who was waiting at a bus station when this happened. a palestinian grabbed a soldier's gun and opened fire, killing the soldier and injuring five policemen and four others. the crowd thought the young bhoon was eritrean had something to do it. first of all the security guard turned on him and a man beat him so badly he later died in the hospital of his injuries. another example of how the innocent are getting caught up in the fear and the fury here, and a furious argument here today over a concrete wall 15 feet high that israel is building around one arab neighborhood. palestinians are calling it collective punishment, and it's not clear how effective would be in stopping these attacks anyway. meanwhile, secretary of state john kerry this morning called the violence senseless and called on israeli and palestinian leaders for urgent action. he'll meet them later in the week, but it real isn't clear how much influence he or any of these leaders can have in

stopping the killing. back to you, natalie. >> all right. thank you, bill neely in jerusalem, thanks. major change is on the way when comes to owning drones. if you're thinking of buying one, the government is about to require that you register it with the department of transportation. the new rules will be announced today. the move comes as a number of drones in the nation's skies has increased dramatically, leading to close calls with passenger planes, even police helicopters. a wild story this morning from the wild, wild west. at least one person is being treated at an arizona hospital after being shot with bullets tuerk a gun fight re-enactment in the town of tombstone. officials say the skit was supposed to involve blanks, but one of the actor's guns fired live rounds during a standoff. an actor is undergoing surgery to remove a bullets. other rounds struck a bystander whose condition is not known. a driver in texas may face felony charges following this dramatic highway crash in which a car veers into a motorcycle

a second later i would have hit this child. >> this would not be a static child, a mannequin. this would be a kid running in the dark like this. you probably could have hit this child. what was it like to be in the car witnessing this? >> completely scary. >> reporter: by the way, the body suit comes in brighter colors too. it's halloween, we want kids to dress up however they want to dress up. here's a solution no matter what they wear. safety experts say you should wear these. put your kids in the glow in the dark brace letz and the glow in the dark necklaces. that way no matter what they are wearing drivers will be able to see them as they come down the road and keep your kids safe. bring the lights back you. seems like the dumbest idea possible. >> worst costume idea. >> and have glow sticks not just costume. >> jeff, thanks very much. coming up, are you getting your tickets? why this is a very big day for
