Following that brazen attack on one of the oil fields in saudi arabia, that sent prices skyrocketing President Trump is all but blaming iran. Its looking that way well have some pretty good were having some very strong studies done, but its certainly looking that way at this moment, and well let you know reporter u. S. Intelligence indicates the weekend drone strike originated from iran according to three people familiar with the intelligence iran has denied it was behind the attack while iranianbacked rebels in yemen have claimed responsibility, the saudis insist initial investigations have indicated the weapons yoosds in t use in the attack were iranian, not launched from yemen. 24 hours after warning the u. S. Was locked and loaded for a response, the president appeared to back away from any immediate against iran. Do i want war i dont want war with anybody. Im somebody who would not like war. Reporter at the same time touting United States military might. The United States is more prepared than any country in the history of in any history if we have to go that way. Reporter still some democrats are warning against it. Why in gods name would anyone even contemplate the u. S. Should go to war with iran to protect saudi oil . Reporter the president brushing off questions whether hes promised the saudis the u. S. Will protect them. No, i havent no, i havent. I havent promised the saudis that. We have to sit down with the saudis and work something out. Diplomatic, military, what are President Trumps options for a response here. Reporter National Security experts say there are military options, though again theres no indication the president will choose that path the u. S. Could strike iranian revolution guard sites or iranian ships or launch a cyber attack against the country President Trump said monday any response would be in his words proportionate and that he will send secretary of state mike pompeo to saudi arabia presumably to discuss next steps. Craig and hoda. Peter alexander from the white house this morning thank you. Now the question is how will all of this affect the price we pay at pump. Nbcs tom costello has been talking to experts hes in bethesda, maryland. Hey, tom, what do you think . Reporter yeah, about 10 to 25 cents within the next week or two say the experts. As we all know, oil shot up about 15 yesterday, very sensitive to what happens in the markets and whats happening geopolitically gas prices are sure to rise, but how much really depends on what happens next it may be a world away but the Ripple Effect may soon arrive at a gas station near you saturdays attacks took out 5 of the Global Oil Supply sending World Oil Prices surging. Within days experts predict pump prices will also start edging higher consumers could face steeper hikes than 0. O gallon and it could last to anksgiving.

Is less dependent on foreign oithan ionce was todathe u. S. Is the worlds biggesprodt oil er with a whpinl total. Saudi arabia produces 12 , followed by russia and canada. U. S. Oil refineries have not been hit by a hurricane this year, and america is sitting on 645 Million Barrels of emergency l e. A few years ago, they would have been in a panic today we got a lot of oil. We got a lot of gas. Reporter another attack or prolonged conflict could send prices much higher a lot of folks say the extra few dimes per gallon can quickly add up. I live about 75 miles outside of the city. Im driving every day, thats 150 miles back and forth, im always concerned about the price of gas. Tom, you mentioned the Strategic Oil reserve there in the piece. President trump has said he would tap that reserve if necessary. Walk us through exactly what that is, and how all of that would happen reporter so the reserves have been there for the better part of 40 years now its not something new they sit in caverns down in the south in texas and louisiana theres about 143 days worth of imported oil protection. If the president were to decide to tap the reserves in order to stabilize prices, it would take a while, a couple of weeks for that oil to then get into the market but just yesterday, Energy Secretary perry suggested its premature right now to talk about tapping the reserves.

Another story were following this morning, a shakeup over at saturday night live. The iconic show has dropped one of its newest cast members after he faced some intense criticism for some past racially charged and homophobic comments as well. Nbcs Stephanie Gosk is following that story for us. Saturday night live is a dream job, a chance to step on the studio at 30 rock that has kickstarted the careers of comedy legends this morning that job is gone for shane gillis just four days after it was announced that he was joining the show its saturday night live. A show known for pushing boundaries looks like your ride is here. Dad, its just isis. Reporter is drawing the line saturday night live announcing its parting ways with its newest cast member, shane gillis, four days after a video showed the comedian referring to asians with a racial slur and making homophobic jokes on his podcast. The videos from the past year quickly spread online, leading to fierce backlash especially given that the show, which has been called out in recent years for its lack of diversity, also announced bowen yang will make snl history as the first Asian American cast member a spokesperson for Loren Michaels addressing gillis departure, saying we were not aware of his prior remarks that have surfaced over the past few days we are sorry that we did not see these clips earlier and that our vetting practice was not up to our standard gillis posting, i respect the decision that they made, adding hes grateful for the opportunity. President ial candidate andrew yang who gillis joked about, defended him over the weekend saying gillis should get to keep his job. I believe our country has become excessively punitive and vindictive about remarks that people find offensive or racist, and that we need to try and move beyond that. But it wasnt enough to keep gillis on the show former snl cast member rob snider, im sorry you had the misfortune of being a cast member in this era of cultural unforgiveness. It seems like this is happening a lot recently a lot of comedians having to address past controversial jokes.

We are back this morning we are back this morning with an indepth look at americas vaping epidemic. As we mentioned earlier, the cdc has now activated its Emergency Operations center to investigate the Mysterious Illness that has sickened hundreds and claimed the lives of at least seven people nbcs vicky nguyen is here with the very latest and some things parents need to know. Absolutely. We are hearing so much about the vaping crisis but what exactly is vaping and how do these devices work to deliver nicotine and other chemicals into the body this morning, those questions taking on greater urgency, so heres a vaping 101 as Health Officials try to pinpoint whats causing this outbreak. The vaping epidemic is growing, the cdc activating its Emergency Operations center to investigate. The team usually reserved for emergencies like hurricanes and even the water crisis in flint, michigan in a statement, the agencys director saying cdc has made it a priority to find out what is causing this outbreak of ecigarette or vaping related injuries and deaths. My biggest concern is that were really addicting a n generation. Dr. Bonnie halpernfelsher is an adolescent psychologist at Stanford University who researches teen vaping and prevention she says the term vaping is misleading. Its not really vapor, its an aerosol. What is the difference between aerosol and vapor. A vapor is really just water. Its just water thats been heated and then emits into the air whereas an aerosol contains a number of different chemicals. When people think its harmless water vapor, it isnt. Rorter he shows me a number of devices and the many forms make it easy for people to mask the habit people might be surprised to see how many different forms these vaping devices take. One of the things that you have to be aware of and that parents really need to be aware of is how easy it is to hide these products and how much Something Like this, for example, looks like a usb. This also looks like a usb these products here look a lot like lipstick. Youve got Something Like this one here that looks a lot like a highlighter. Reporter while they come in different shapes, the mechanics are the same the battery inside heats up an Oil Containing nicotine or thc, the active ingredient in marijuana, to temperatures of up to 450 degrees. That converts the oil into an aerosol which is then inhaled into the lungs many ecigarettes are refilled with pods or cartridges which can contain flavors. The colors represent the flavor thats in there so, for example, green would be mint this would be what they call creme brulee reporter over the weekend, new york, joining michigan as the second state to ban flavored ecigarettes. Vaping is dangerous, period. Reporter the American Vaping Association disagrees saying the vaping related illnesses are quote clearly linked to illicit street vapes some ecigarettes can be modified allowing users to add whatever they want, including thc, and now many of the popular brands have adopted a blend called saltbased nicotine. The saltbased nicotine makes it so you dont have as painful of a hit, and so you can inhale it easier, its less painful and it gets absorbed by the body easier and faster. So basically youre becoming addicted a lot easier. Reporter dr. Halpernfelsher says that cocktail of chemicals can be a dangerous combination the nicotine certainly has you become addicted to it but its the other chemicals that are going to make you sick and heres the other problem, all the counterfeits that are out there. Experts say it can be tough to spot the fakes you should only use products if you do vape that come in their original packaging and finally buy them from a licensed vendor. I finally getting vaping. The aerosol versus the vapor is the key to remember. We should stop using the term vaping. Yeah. Seven dead so far, hundreds now sick, and whats the cdc recommending that we all do . Well, we are seeing them take a very strong stance saying people should stop vaping period, if you do vape, though, and you notice youre getting coughing, shortness of breath, heart issues, thats the time to talk to your doctor and be honest about what kinds of products youre using and whats in those products, if you know and if youre a parents youve got to look for all kinds of things, the lipstick thing, the highlighter thing, so many things you have to look out for. And the smell, too, thats what dr. Bonnie is saying. If you go in your childs room, and it smells kind of fruity, maybe thats time to have a conversation, maybe thats not an air fresher or perfume. Lets get a check of the weather. We have been talking about Climate Change, our climate in crisis all week, and we got frightening statistics in, the Northern Hemisphere is seeing the hottest summer on record the last five summers have been the five hottest, and this is the second hottest august globally behind 2016 add to that whats happened up in the arctic. We are talking about the sea ice. Right now, its 30 below average. Its the second smallest mass of ice we have seen since august 2012, and look at this, this is where the ice should be. So you can see how much of that ice has melted way ahead of time, and now look at the lower 48, the hottest september on record to date for 19 cities from the west coast to the east coast, top five hottest cities, septembers, for over 24 cities 29 states, 57 Million People will see heat indexes above 90 today. You can see today, atlanta, little rock, wichita, dallas, triple digits, same for tallahassee, and it extends all the way up to minneapolis, chicago, cleveland and nashville as well. Good morning, im meteorologist kari hall. A live look outside at san jose with sunshine and Cool Temperatures to start.

Brad pitt, he got the chance to chat with an astronaut who happens to be currently orbiting the earth. Nbcs joe fryer joins us with more hey, joe, good morning. Reporter yeah, imagine getting this call. Brad pitt finished filming his movie long ago but had a conversation that lasted about 20 minutes it was a chance for the mega star to promote his new movie and raise awareness about space exploration. Brad pitt isnt an astronaut but in his latest role, he sure acts like one nasa actually reviewed an early script of pitts latest flick and provided some images used in the movie. Astronaut rick hague and his colleagues skreencreened the fi space. And monday station this the brad how do you hear me. Ive got you loud and clear. He got to speak with the star too. Now that i have you all the way up at the space station, lets talk about me. How did we do . I got to tell you, it was really good. And the depictions, the settings, all as you can tell look very similar to the type of setting youve got, you know, ive got around me were approaching mars. Reporter pitts film is Science Fiction and the scenes were shot here on earth. Still the actor had several questions for hague ranging from his sleep schedule to mission experiments to living in zero gravity. I had read astronauts speak about looking back on the earth really being aware how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things. You get a perspective that you know, youre away from the earth. That perspective really challenges you because now youre looking down at everything that youve ever known and you have this deep appreciation for how big the universe really is the conversation also took a lighter turn. Okay. Most important question, who controls the jam box we have a rotating play list. We take turns. Pitt is generating oscar buzz for his recent performance in once upon a time in hollywood. Now with his new space film on the horizon, the actor couldnt help but ask how he compared to a good friend who starred in another galactic pic, gravity. Last question and i need to call on your expertise, who was more believable, clooney or pitt you were. Absolutely pitt also asked hague what its like being away from his family for so long the astronaut said he is able to video chat with his children every weekend. Pitt said he couldnt wait to brag to his own kids about their conversation that was pretty cool. Joe, thank you so much.

Al, you took us to greenland yesterday. This morning you are exploring the warming planets impact right here at home not too far away for a lot of folks. Experts say, Climate Change, its already here, and its causing our sea levels to rise that is threatening some iconic american landmarks Climate Change is causing sea levels to rise higher and faster than ever before a huge factor in Sea Level Rise is happening right here in greenland. More heat waves are causing billions of tons of ice to melt directly into the ocean. The other component is ocean expansion. Its warming together, oceans are rising about an inch every eight years and its starting to add up. Its concerning because more water means more flooding. Its really coming through now. The water is breaching were getting a lot of activity as far as flooding is concerned. When people talk about Sea Level Rise, why is it of concern . Sea level rise, flooding of the coast has already begun so little storms now are starting to have bigger impac a rise of 6 inches can actually mean a lot. 6 inches, thats half ha foot, that doesnt sound like much. One foot of Sea Level Rise by 2050, were really talking about big problems at that point the impact of those rising sea levels are already being felt up and down the east coast from boston, new york city, to norfolk and miami Sea Level Rise is impacting several of our major installations, norfolk, for instance. The u. S. Naval base in norfolk and its surrounding communities are already being affected by increased storms and nuisance flooding. A recent department of defense report suggests that more than half of u. S. Military installations are vulnerable to Sea Level Rise is that going to mean were probably going to have to divert money to harden these installations from the rise of the ocean . It will mean something needs to be done theyre critically important obviously for national defense. The department of defense tells today in part the effects of a change in climate are a National Security issue with potential impacts to department of Defense Missions and, quote, works to ensur installations and infrastructure are resilient to a wide range of challenges including climate. The tides going to go where the tide wants to go. The tide is also creeping towards the launch pads in Cape Canaveral florida. Rising sea levels will have an and verse impact on important landmarks like this active launch pad here at the Kennedy Space center at the rate were going, climate researchers predict a future where major cities including our Nations Capital could look like this a lot of our landmarks, a lot of our history is along t coast, lady liberty. A lot of landmarks like the statue of liberty like historic jamestown are located in critical areas of our country. Jamestown, virginia, is at risk of being washed away. Jamestown as an island is very lowlying property, and thats part of the reason the colonists chose to settle here but for us today the peninsula where this island is sinking and affecting those sacred resources that are the beginnings of our nation. The winds right now gusting at over 55 to 60 miles per hour. As the ocean creeps up, the waves start attacking the shoreline, the erosion becomes more noticeable and the beaches are disappearing Research Suggesting many parts of the east coast no longer have a stable shoreline. We can see through history how technology and Society Coming together can lead to rapid changes. So in a way, youre talking about a climate moon shack thats right, we have to hope were never too late we have to engage fully to reduce emissions and to prepare for those Climate Changes that were locked into. Now, some areas are looking at building sea walls, physically moving landmarks when possible they moved the Cape Hatteras lighthouse in North Carolinas outer banks about 20 years ago. And not just landmarks and lighthouses, actual homes. Homes in nantucket, they are digging up huge homes, moving them away from the shoreline, and it may be a little too late when you talk about building sea walls, putting in wetlands and marshes to try to mitigate this. I think the window is fast closing. When you see that artists rendition whats going on in d. C. , it hits you hard to see those monuments under. Thank you so much. By the way, more of climate in crisis at today. Com while were here, mr. Roker, how about a check of the weather lets take a look and well show you again, were talking about this system, that is a tropical system but may not become a defined storm a low meandering up and bringing a lot of rain. The good news is they are in drought deficits from san angelo to houston to corpus crispy. It doesnt matter how dry that soil is, it could not handle it if we get this heavy, heavy rain, anywhere from 3 to 7 to 8 inches of rain some places, though, could get up to a foot rest of the country, heavy rain moving into the pacific northeast as a cold front comes in there record highs down through the south and into the Midatlantic States strong storms firing up in the plains good morning, im kari hall. A live look outside here in san francisco. A nice breeze kicking up today. Our high reaches 67 degrees. San jose and palo alto looking at 70 degrees.

Last week we told you about apples new iphones, they are not available friday for the public but we have all three new phones right here this morning, and we have katie lindenhall to tell us about this were very excited about this. So whats the big difference between these iphone 11s and all the other previous generations the three biggest features off the top, everyone very excited about the battery life just compared to last years model, if you take the xr, for example, up to five hours extra of battery life, in addition, so you get through that 3 4 of the day, and you see that red battery thing. Dont they say that with every phone. Can i tell you, 12, 14 hours. Consistent i was pretty darn impressed. Battery life huge. Im going to get a little nerdy for a second the processer 813 bionic chip, why is that important, speed, power, efficiency. Harry is loving this one speed, power and efficiency. Thats my motto when you look over your kids shoulder and hes playing those intense games. How is that possible we take this for granted now power inside the new chip. Smartest chip inside a smartphone, apple touts, and last, everybody is raving and rightfully so about the cameras inside these iphones, they are incredible i have to say on the pro max, there are now three cameras, you can go ultra wide, wide, and telephoto, and well show you three pictures we took outside just this morning. Look at that handsome man. Standing right in the same spot, how wide and diverse these pictures can get which is really neat also great low Light Photography and upgraded front and rear cameras. Love that. Everybody is talking about the slow mo selfie what are they calling it the slofie.

Oh, my god, that is so good i always have balloons with confetti, you know. You and me both, andy, right, all the time thats cool it is cool. Is it enough to make us upgrade . Yeah, thats the biggest question thats the question im getting nonstop. For the every day consumer, its starting at around 699 for the iphone 11, and the most you could spend is 1,500 bucks i grew up blue collar, thats a lot of money to ask somebody to spend. Are last years versions great, of course. Are they going to be upgrading every year you know it. But if you have the extra budget, it is worth the spend. But the 699, isnt that a little cheaper than last years model. It is its not too bad comparatively. Does the 699 have the cool camera. It does not so youre going to get that on the pro, the three cameras but it does have a really cool camera baked in. I dont want to sell it short. How much is the one with the camera. Starts at a thousand. The pro starts at 1,000. The pro max, 1,100 those baby pictures are going to look great. What do you use your phone for the most, the camera. And do we each take one of these . Im going to hand one over, andy, here you go. You get a stand with it. You know what else is cool, those glasses, those are hot. Im just keeping up with al. One last question, are they the same size as the ones we had before for cases and adapters. If you notice, you got the new camera system, so you need a new case. Of course what a surprise. And new plugs and adapters. Same adapters oh, and by the way, it comes with a quick charger on the pro. So 50 charge. I like the extra charge. Who doesnt we all do.

You guys all have great jobs i have a really really cool job, and we get to go to really interesting places, meet really interesting people this woman were about to introduce you to, she may be really close to the alltime great list wow take a look ryan good had a dusty job to do, to catalog the stored canvasses of the late artist lee mulligan there were objects that were unsigned or i didnt think were attributable to lee, and maybe only one in 20 were signed lh, and i wondered what they were. Good became increasingly convinced that the art he was uncovering was a find, like hidden treasure, so he asked mulligans widow about the mysterious. She said thats me. Good asked if he could put her art on display and what did you think i thought why not what a good idea and we had a show, and it was reviewed but he gave me a scrumptious review, wonderful review, and it started. Kaboom. The explosion heard throughout the art world was the overnight success of the 99yearold artist named luchita hurtado. People got it instantly there was an incredible reaction, we sold out the show. It was amazing thats pretty cool. Did you ever expect in your life that anything like this would happen no, not at all. And i still dont believe it, to tell you the truth paintings that are alluring, very much alive, and very much like the artist herself who came to america as a small child, a poor immigrant from venezuela. I was born with this kind of appreciation and so its a good world. And im a very happy citizen in it so do you think thats the key to happiness i think so i think that if you dont feel comfortable in the world, how are you going to be ever happy. Do you think that your attitude, this attitude of joy. Joy, is reflected in your art sn yes. Yeah. I think its a diary, my art is a diary. And it is what im living. The 20s, it was very different from what im doing now. Now im very concerned with air and water and earth. Things then. I thought about, you know, prince charming coming to carry me off. Yeah.
