flights that are coming into the united states. and the new measures could mean even more time at the airport. nbc's gabe gutierrez now is at the world's busiest airport, atlanta. gabe, good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. the deadline for the changes to go into effect is today, and some airlines are telling passengers to arrive an extra 30 to 60 minutes earlier at overseas airports for the new security measures. the changes are prompted by the same terror concerns that sparked that ban on carrying laptops aboard some international flights last spring. this morning, coming home from sydney, barcelona or london might take a little longer. new security measures are in effect on all u.s.-bound flights from a foreign airport, affecting 180 airlines, 2,100 daily flights and 325,000 passengers. >> i'm all for the extra security. >> reporter: the changes include closer inspections of personal electronic devices,e

around the airport, and more thorough interviews with travelers as they check in, hoping to identify terrorists. >> all the airport workers are safe. if we have to stand a little bit more in line, i'm okay with that. >> reporter: the security upgrades first announced by the u.s. government this summer after intelligence suggests that isis was able to augusmuggle explosives in laptops. laptops had to be checked until security at the airports improved. it did. the tsa recently imposed rules requiring u.s. domestic travelers to remove all electronic items larger than phones, such as tablets and ereaders, for screening. >> i'm thankful the steps are being taken. it is a minor inconvenience. >> reporter: the vast majority of overseas airlines and airports have already met the new, stricter requirements. among the top concerns,

terrorists who board -- who go through multiple countries before boarding a flight for the u.s. >> gabe gutierrez leading us off. thank you. a lot more to get to, including president trump taking on his critics and touting great unity within the gop. that despite a public rebuke by two key republican senators. we have complete coverage starting at the white house with nbc's kristen kel we arwelker. >> reporter: good morning. despite the gop defections, president trump is taking a victory lap, insisting he still has most of his party on his side and will be able to accomplish policy goals, like tax reform. and mr. trump is also taking aim at democrats after new revelations they helped pay for that relating to his possible ties to russia. president trump down playing talk of a republican civil war, appearing on the fox business network. >> we have actually in the republican party, in a true sense, we have great unity. >> reporter: even after

corker and jeff flake, afail ee the president's character. both men retiring next year. mr. trump insisting he can could want on them to support his agenda, including tax reform. >> i really know they want tax cuts. they know we need it for the country. >> reporter: flake acknowledging, he would have faced an uphill battle for re-election. >> that is a difficult position to take in a republican primary, the position that i've taken, that we ought to stand up. >> reporter: the president taking a swipe at flake. >> his poll numbers are terrible. so he did the smart thing for himself. this way, he can get out somewhat gracefully. >> reporter: and mr. trump again defending his condolence call to the widow of sergeant la david johnson, insisting he had no trouble recalling the fallen soldier's name. >> they put a chart in front, la david. it says, la david johnson. so from the beginning, there's no hesitation. one of theat

>> reporter: asked by nbc's hallie jackson about his civility, mr. trump touted his own intellect. >> could you be more civil as leader of this country? >> i think the press makes me more uncivil than i am. you know, people don't understand, i went to an ivy league college. i was a nice student. i did very well. i'm a very intelligent person. >> reporter: the president emboldened after revelations the democrats helped pay for research originally funded by republican donors that led to that now-famous dossier, about the alleged relations to russia. >> what's your reaction? >> it's very sad, what they've done with the fake dossier. i think it is a disgrace. it is a very sad -- it's a very sad commentary on politics in this country. >> reporter: a former clinton campaign official says they didn't know about the dossier during the

had, would have used it. the trump campaign is responding to reports that a data analytics firm it hired reached out to wikileaks founder julian assange about hillary clinton's e-mails. the trump campaign saying, we as a campaign made the choice to rely on the voter data of the republican national committee to help elect president donald j. trump. any claims that voter data from any other source played a role in the victory are false. >> kristen, thank you very much. another issue front and center at the white house today, the opioid epidemic. according to a new report, the president is ready to declare it a public health emergency. will that help solve the problem facing cities and families across the country? nbc's chief white house correspondent hallie jackson has more on the president's plan. good morning. >> reporter: let's talk about what the public health emergency declaration would do according to "usa today." this would loosen some regulations and give states more flexibility in how they shift around

according to the paper, this would stop short of the national state of emergency. the president's opioid commission recommend it. experts say any attention directed to this serious crisis could help. the president promising something soon to show how he plans to fight the nation's opioid crisis. >> we're going to be doing a very, very important meeting on opioids. in terms of declaring a national emergency. >> reporter: but this morning, we're learning the president will stop short of declaring a broader state of national emergency and, instead, will declare the opioid epidemic a public health emergency, according to "usa today." the less sweeping proclamation expires after 90 days but can be renewed. the paper says that will give states more lee way to shift federal funding to addiction treatment, free up labor department grants for people seeking help. let patients talk to their doctors over the phone rather in person. tap a special fund to give the heal

more flexibility. the fund only has $57,000 in it. the hope, the administration's moves will put pressure on congress to do more to fight the crisis. with the president's own opioid commission estimating drugs kill, on average, 142 americans every day. that's more than guns and car accidents combined. >> that means we have a 9/11 every three and a half weeks in america. if we had a terrorist organization that was killing 142 americans a day on our soil, how much would we be willing to spend to stop it? >> reporter: governor christie chairs the commission after promises like these from donald trump on the campaign trail. >> it is a huge problem all over our country. >> reporter: and this pledge. >> we're going to spend a lot of time, a lot of effort and a lot of money on the opioid crisis. >> reporter: it has taken time for the president to declare a national emergency, like he promised. stalling progress, his health and human

czar withdrew. the president facing fire for being slow to act with critics arguing his proposals for health care reform could be counterproductive. >> with medicaid cuts, significant cuts being proposed as part of president trump's revamped health care plan, that will really hit a lot of opioid and drug treatments very significantly. >> reporter: today's announcement potentially a significant step for thousands of families. with governor christie recently telling matt, the president is not deterred, but determined. >> do you think he'll follow through on that promise? >> i do. >> what would you say to him, to do it sooner rather than later? >> i've already said it to him. >> what's his response? >> he's ready. >> reporter: and the president is ready to make that speech, rolling all of this out at the white house later on this afternoon. just to give you context here, the last time there was this kind of public health emergency on a nationwide level was before the h1n1 virus situation in

2009/2010. savannah? >> hallie, thank you. we should mention, we have a lot more of your conversation, matt, with governor christie, including how his state has recovered five years after superstorm sandy. that's tomorrow morning on "today." now new developments in the harvey weinstein scandal with more accusers coming forward, pressure is mounting on the weinstein company to do more. stephanie gosk is here with the latest on that. good morning. >> good morning, guys. another accuser. another allegation of sexual assault. this time, the alleged victims' attorney, gloria allred, leveled a challenge at the weinstein's board of directors. they want to do right by the accusers, she says, they need to pay them. >> it is time for the weinstein company to put their money where their mouths are. >> reporter: attorney gloria l allred is calling on the company weinstein's co-founders to set up a fund and pay his accusers. >> the harm it's caused to their careers and health continue and must be addressed. >> reporter: allred sat next

natasha ma natasha malte, the latest woman to accuse the movie mogul of sexual assault. >> he said he could give me a part in an upcoming movie. >> reporter: late one night, he pound on her hotel room door. once inside, she says, weinstein forced her to have sex. >> just wanted it to end. i played dead. afterwards, i laid there in complete disgust. >> reporter: weinstein's spokesperson repeatedly said, any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by weinstein. now his former company is under fire, facing a new lawsuit. >> we allege that the weinstein company knew that one of its key executives and part owner, harvey weinstein, was engaging in sexual

weinstein when the allegations of sexual assault first surfaced in the media, the weinstein company board said, these allegations come as an utter surprise to the board. any suggestion that the board had knowledge of this conduct is false. >> i'm moving out. >> reporter: actor dominique hewitt accuses weinstein of forcing her to have oral sex. >> as many times as i said no and resisted, i feel like he was not going to let up on the idea. >> reporter: hewitt announced her lawsuit days after a civil rights investigation was opened against the company. women have alleged sexual assault to rape. the powerhouse that won 22 oscars for films like "silver linings playbook" and the "king's speech," hangs in the balance. a company that was going to make

through. we've reached out to the board but have not heard back. at the power woman breakfast this morning in los angeles, survivors of sexual assault are expected to speak. they include at least two weinstein accusers. >> thank you very much. other news, five women have come forward to accuse journalist and author mark halperin of sexual harassment. he is a senior political analyst for nbc news and acknowledged last night that he had engaged in, quote, inappropriate behavior around women he worked with at abc news over a decade ago. in a statement to cnn, he said, i now understand from these accounts that my behavior was inappropriate and caused others pain. for that, i am deeply sorry and i apologize. under the circumstances, i'm going to take a step back from my day to day work while i properly deal with this situation. according to cnn, none of the women reportedly alleged incidents to abc news

management. nbc news has not independently verified the accusations. msnbc issued the following statement. we find this story and the allegations very troubling. mark halperin is leaving his role as a contributor until the questions around his past conduct are fully understood. let us take a turn. today's much-anticipated release of classified government files about the assassination of president john f. kennedy is in the news. what are we going to learn from them, and will they satisfy the conspiracy theorists? nbc national correspondent peter alexander is at the national archives with more on this. peter, what can you tell us? >> reporter: hey, matt. good morning to you. the anticipation certainly building. will this be the final chapter in one of the most defining episodes of american history? among those fueling the suspense, president trump himself green lighting this release, ironically, while on a trip to dallas. tweeting, so interesting. that infamous drive through

conspiracy theories for more than a half century. today, americans could learn new details about one of the country's enduring mysteries. federal law requires the national archives release all of its jfk files by today. among the key questions, did oswald act alone? did the u.s. government know more about the assassin's movements than it's priestly led on? was oswald under cia surveillance during a trip to mexico city, where he visited the soviet and cuban embassies? >> the real story, maybe, is that the cia knew only seven weeks before the assassination that oswald may have threatened the president. he returned. the cia does what it always does, told no one. >> reporter: multiple investigations concluded oswald was the lone gunman. his own story dying when he was shot shortly after his arrest. americans aren't convinced. to this day, more than 60% believe kennedy's assassination

to camelot. >> almost like the film broke in our lives. it broke from wone era of glamor and excitement and hope. the future looked very bright. then it was over in a flash. >> reporter: the national archive says, we assume that much of what will be released will be tangential to the assassination. historians will be pouring over more than 3,000 long-sealed files, hoping they reveal a cia personality profile of oswald, whether the fbi had evidence he was bragging about plans to kill kennedy, and maybe a handwritten letter from first lady jackie kennedy, detailing funeral arrangements. 54 years after his tragic death, the jfk mystery remains alive. >> i think that we will never be able to put a period at the end of the sentence, lee harvey oswald acted alone, and have everybody agree with that. it's a case that will never go away. >> reporter: how will those thousands of documents be

when? even that remains its own mystery, though we assume the national archives will post them to their website, at which point sleuths and scholars alike can dive? >> fascinating. thank you very much. mr. roker is here with our first check of the weather. >> we're looking a a tropical system possibly developing, from florida all the next 30 days could become a days, 40%. here's the five day develop ment zone. no matter what happens, we see we could be looking at three to it continues the coast. low pr develops. upper level trough enhance increa the flood threat. anywhe from three to five you come up the coast from northe be looking
