Good morning. Welcome to today on this monday morning. 7 00 a. M. On the west coast. Glad to have you with us. Hodas got the holiday off. Lets get to the top story. Overnight israel launching new missile attacks while soldiers fight to regain several towns. It comes after an unprecedented invasion by hamas saturday. Fighters pouring over the border. Some paragliding out of the sky to overrun israeli villages as well at a popular Music Festival. Over 700 People Killed in israel. More than 130 israeli hostages have been taken. And in gaza, nearly 500 People Killed there. This morning u. S. Officials confirm at least nine americans are among the dead with that number expected to rise. In the meantime, the u. S. Is expected to move navy ships closer to israel as a show of support. We have every aspect covered, including why this region is so volatile. The concerns of a wider war and that new response from washington. Lets get started with Richard Engel who is inside israel this morning. Richard, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. We are in the town of sderot, near the gaza border. And this is one of the communities that hamas managed to penetrate. Those plumes are from where the israelis have been carrying out counterstrikes. Inside the city, this is one of the areas where most of the people have left now. This is one of the areas where hamas militants entered in an infil infiltration. Weve heard there was another attempt to breach the breach israels borders to enter into israeli towns and communities and continue hamas killing plea is. This is killing spree. This is much not over. We came under fire ourselves. Many of the people in these towns are evacuating, and were seeing military vehicles, israeli tanks and heavy armor heading this way. Israels payback is under way with the army carrying out strikes targeting hamas infrastructure and smuggling tunnels. Constrained because hamas is Holding Dozens of daly hostages hidden deep inside gaza. Israel didnt anticipate hamas had this capacity and israels Intelligence Network missed the signs that it was coming. At 6 30 saturday morning, under the cover of a massive rocket barrage, hundreds of hamas fighters blasted their way through the fences around gaza and flew over Israeli Defenses in paragliders. Once inside israel, the militants showing a high level of training and preparation went on a killing spree. Israeli media say in all more than 700 israelis are dead, including more than 100 soldiers and police. Many of the dead, nearly 300, were at an allNight Dance Party near gaza. In an image that has captured the worlds attention, one woman is taken and begs for her life as her boyfriend is held watching helplessly. In tel aviv this morning, guya is searching for her father, sister, little brother, cousin with special needs, and 80yearold grandmother with dementia. She was on the phone with her mother as hamas fighters were inside their house near gaza pulling at the doors. Then the phone went dead. Guya has no idea if her relatives are still alive but did find a video of her 12yearold brother. Gunmen call him a settler as they march him off to be a hostage and bargaining chip in gaza. Im trying to be strong, but its so hard. Im just hoping they are alive because i couldnt i cant believe Something Like this. Reporter the hamas attacks are being carried out with extreme brutality. Just in the city hamas fighters, dozens of them, entered into the town. They were in pickup trucks. They had mounted machine guns and were spraying gunfire left nationalities or and right, opening fire. Identi. Savannah, craig, bac now theyre used as human shields. K to you thank you so much. Richard engel, thank you very well turn to jeremy bash. He was chief of staff at both much now to jeremy bash, chief of staff at the department of defense and cia, good morning to you. Hey, savannah. Lets talk about gaza the department of defense and ,s is a narrow st the cia. Rip of land, very small, c gaza is a narrow strip of land,e controlled by hamas. D by hamas this was a this was a multifaceted attack, land, air, sea its almost unfathomable to believe that fighters were lands, air, sea, its almost unfathomable to believe that a to p fighters were able to pour overd attack c the borders and attack civilian targets. Ivilian targets. How did how did this happen . This happen . The terro the terrorists came in by boat. Rists came in by they came in by paraglider. Boat they came in b theyve done both of those y pag things before. Lider, they have done both of those things before, but never before have they been have the able to blow 15 holes in a fortified border fence and enter israel on vehicles and go on a killing spree all of those villages and towns along the gaza strip we can see, this is the gaza strip is, for folks who dont know, within israel, this narrow strip of land there are little towns around it and these towns have become somewhat accustomed to rocket attacks. This is unprecedented. Thats right. The people in sderot or in the border towns, they know to go into their bomb shelters, their safe rooms, when they get a siren when the rockets are flying iron dome usually intercepts the rockets. Never before have they had to con contend with a Ground Invasion and military assault from terrorists in their homes, their community centers, in their villages weve seen the slaughter. Kn, 700 People Killed. Is that so hamas can use them as a human shield they could say theyre going to flatten fla flatten gaza they have to worry about them being killed in any barrage of gaza, but its taken years to negotiate hostage swaps. For 130 israelis, civilian and soldiers, to be there under at gunpoint by hamas terrorists, really complicates this operation for the idf. The other issue is iran hamas is a proxy of iran we dont know yet how directly iran was involved, but most analysts, most everyone in hamas, in fact, has said some thanks to iran for its support how will israel respond to iran, and could that lead it a wider war . Absolutely, savannah. Iran sponsors hamas. Iran also sponsors hezbollah, a terrorist military in the northern part of israel. If you look at this map, in the north where lebanon shows and syria shows, there are hezbollah encampments there. They have 200,000 rocket artillery and mortar pieces, Ballistic Missiles aimed at the heart of israel. If israel has to go after those hezbollah elements, its a wider regional war between israel and iran theyre fortifying now not just the southern borders but the north, as well jeremy, thank you so much. Craig . All right as we said, the United States military moving more ships and aircraft to that region President Biden has been speaking with israels prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu nbcs chief White House CorrespondentPeter Alexander joins us from the white house. Peter, first of all, what is the latest on the u. S. Response this morning . Reporter as you noted, President Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu have spoken twice, we know of, over the weekend. The u. S. Is sending new assets to that region the uss Gerald Ford Carrier Strike Group is headed toward the eastern mediterranean. That is closer to the israeli coast. It includes four guided missile destroyers this is significant as a show of force but also as a demonstration of american support. It leads to a big question which is whether u. S. Forces could become directly involved that strike group is meant to deter hamas and iran, but the u. S. Right now is not ruling out that they could be used to help israel in this war more air power and also on the way. That includes f35s, the most advanced fighter jet the u. S. Has. And so is military equipment, craig, with more expected in the days ahead theres the military response all of this, of course, happening without a permanent speaker of the house Kevin Mccarthy out so what do we know about how that could affect the u. S. Response reporter house republicans, they do hope to elect a speaker this week. But without a permanent one right now, congress is effectively paralyzed. The temporary speaker, he has very limited powers. And in terms of emergency funding for israel, the house cannot even bring legislation to the floor. Weve pushed the white house, this issue, what impact it could have Top National Security officials tell us in the near term the u. S. Is focused on giving israel everything it needs. But they clearly want to see the situation resolved in the house immediately so there is no delay for additional aid going forward, craig chief White House CorrespondentPeter Alexander for us thank you. New york congressman dan goldman was visiting israel with his family over the weekend when those attacks began. Hes with us now in the studio congressman, good morning. Good to see you. Glad your family and you are safe and back home what happened where were you when this unfolded, and what was your experience with your family we have in tel aviv where we were supposed to be for the weekend, in a hotel. Got woken up at 6 30 in the morning by sirens. We were obviously aware of the reality on the ground in israel, that sirens will go off. You have in tel aviv about 90 seconds to get to a shelter. Obviously if youre further in the south, you have much less time but i had never heard it before. My kids obviously had no idea what was going on. We woke up, and we sort of scrambled and ran to the stairwell on saturday morning. That happened several more times as rocket fire was coming toward tel aviv it happened again in the evening. So you know, i was lucky enough to jump on line and got a flight out yesterday. But we were supposed to come back today, and many, many flights have been canceled its just unfathomable our experience was traumatic, but of course it is nothing compared to so many israelis down in the south just massacred with barbarism that we have not seen on a personal level, you experienced a up to of it. I want to the ask you as a congressman who covers and follows these issues, i mean, unfathomable is the word that comes to mind. Israel is known for having one of the most vaunted and fearsome military and intelligence at rat us in the world. Not only is it an intelligence failure but the fighters over the borders, military bases were overrun. Are you shocked by this . It is definitely surprising i was there with a congressional delegation in august, and we got, you know, briefings about how prepared, how the intelligence works, how iron dome works i did not expect to be experiencing how iron dome works, which you could hear the missiles intercepting the rockets above. But this is a i think what is most important right now, both in the congress and around this country, is that we have to stand with israel against this barbaric terrorism that is what it was. It is as bad or worse than i. S. I. S. , al qaeda what they did to those concertgoers in just indiscriminately massacring people on a field, taking Holocaust Survivors in wheelchairs as kidnapping, killing children, it is unconscionable and inhuman and we as americans who oppose terrorism of all sorts must stand with our ally israel in order to support them and so that they can protect their borders and make their country secure what do you think the response should be, especially visavis iran well, i think a lot remains to be seen as to what irans actual role was, and i know that there will be a intense study of exactly what role iran has played right now we in Congress Must rally together, and you mentioned at the beginning of this that we dont have a speaker of the house. We cannot actually do business so do you think that will put forward what Congress Wants to do in terms of supporting israel ultimately no, i hope not, because the administration has the authorities it needs right now to provide the support but we have to replenish iron dome we have to be able to expand them if, as jeremy said, rockets start coming from hezbollah in the north and more hamas in the south and even if this were to expand into the west bank, iron dome can be overwhelmed. And that is a huge priority. I witnessed it up close, how essential and effective it is. It is the greatest Defense System that we know in order to literally with radar, heatseeking missiles essentially, intercept rockets that would otherwise be going at tel aviv, jerusalem, wherever. So that is really what our focus has to be. Israel needs. Congressman dan goldman, again, glad to know that you and your family are safe thanks for your time this morning. Thank you. As the violence escalates in the middle east, there are security implications at home as well Law Enforcement agencies across this country now ramping up patrol and i hope ramping up patrols in jewish communities.

Reporter i see what you did there, craig good morning this is something thats been around for a long time and oftentimes, guys, you see huge lines in the checkout line and you realize, hey, it could be faster to use the selfcheckout. However, research is showing they are prime places for theft and technical problems, meaning some retailers are either scaling back right now or putting in new protocols in stores all over the country, youll find these selfcheckout kiosks, which could offer a quicker checkout to the door, but not always. I stood there for almost ten minutes. Help is on the way help is on the way help is on the way. Could we all just boycott selfcheckout . Im so sick of it. Reporter some shoppers sounding off on the technical hurdles and companies surveying new data cnbc reports tha according to multiple retail advisers, selfcheckout machines increase the risk of theft and in some cases are out weighing the Investments Companies made in them. Changes might be afoot and shoppers arent shocked. Do you find it more convenient to be able to use selfcheckouts not necessarily more convenient, no. Reporter how come its not i find there is too much room for human error. I imagine people steal from them its not that difficult. Reporter a couple companies considering changes include costco which started asking staff to check cards after noticing more abuse of card sharing.

Were on a road trip from seattle. What a little cutie. Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to today. Nice holiday crowd out here on a monday morning. Hoda has the morning off. Craig and sheinelle holding it down. Good morning. It is a busy morning. Lets get to the news at 8 00. The fighting and casualties escalated overnight as israel pounded targets inside gaza responding to that surprise hamas attack that left hundreds dead. Some of the victims are americans. And the u. S. Is now increasing its military presence in the region. Our coverage begins with Richard Engel, who is inside israel for us. Richard, good morning. Reporter good morning. We are just outside the town of sderot, on the border with gaza. Youll see over there plumes of smoke. That is inside the gaza strip. That is where hamas militants just a short while ago have been firing rockets, and theyve been firing rockets and missiles and moretors all day long into israel. The plumes are israeli counterfire trying to destroy the launch sites. This is one of the areas where hamas militants were able to penetrate, were able to saturday to break through the border fence and go on a killing spree. Those infiltrations are not over. Just a short while ago while we were here there were reports of yet another infiltration. Israels payback is under way with the army carrying out air strikes across the gaza strip this morning targeting hamas infrastructure and smuggling tunnels. Israeli reprials are constrained because hamas is Holding Dozens of israeli hostages hidden deep inside gaza. Israel didnt anticipate hamas had this capacity, and israels Intelligence Network missed the signs that it was coming. At 6 30 saturday morning, under the cover of a massive rocket barrage, hundreds of hamas fighters blasted their way through the fences around gaza and flew over Israeli Defenses in paragliders. Inside israel the militants showing a high level of training and preparation went on a killing spree. Israeli media say in all more than 700 israelis are dead, including more than 100 soldiers and police. Many of the dead, nearly 300, were at an all Night Dance Party in gaza. An imagine that captured the worlds attention is a woman is taken and begs for her life as her boyfriend is held watching helplessly. Negotiations are already under way, and i can tell you from diplomats directly involved that they are proving to be extraordinarily difficult. All day weve been seeing Israeli Military vehicles, tanks, apcs, heading in this direction so we do seem to be heading toward an escalation. All right. Richard engel, thank you. Be safe. Lets bring in the former chief of staff of the pentagon and cia. Good morning to you. Lets start there. Because obviously israel is already responding in gaza, but this is complicated by the fact that there are hundreds of hostages being held there as well. Yeah. Hamas will commit war crimes and they will use those hostages as human shields. That complicates the mission to rescue them. It also complicates the mission to degrade and destroy hamas infrastructure in gaza. For those that dont follow this conflict closely, what exactly are they trying to accomplish . What was the goal . Or do we even know . Hamas goal is to eradicate israel full stop. But the context is important, craig, because right now israel is pursuing a huge peace deal with saudi arabia. The main sunni arab country in the region. And hamas, which has iran as its patron wants to stop that peace deal, wants to stop israel from integrating into the region. This is a stunning failure. We talked about israels Defense System. How did it happen . This was an intelligence breakdown, a Border Security breakdown, a coastal defense, a Civil Defense breakdown on multiple levels. The way hamas sent a thousand fighters to blow through that fortified fence and conduct a ground operation. Those israelis in those towns have been used to going into bomb shelters from rockets fire, but never have they experienced a ground assault like this people walking through their homes.

According to the latest research one in three adults has three or more risk factors that contribute to cardiovascular disease, Kidney Disease and or metabolic disorders. The aha is now defining it as a condition called ckm syndrome. Dr. Natalie azar, always good to have you i had not heard of this until now. Ckm, what is that . Yeah. So it is important to remember that the conditions that make up ckm syndrome are not new it standards for cardiovascular disease, Kidney Disease, and metabolic syndromes. Whats encompassed is stuff we have known increases the risk of Heart Disease for years, type two diabetes, obesity, things like that. Things that fall under that label. But what has happened here with the aha in defining this syndrome is that theyre really wanting to reset the framework of how people think about cardiovascular disease risk, prevention and management. And they have done so, they have made it easy for us because they have put it into four stages. Lets talk about these stages so we know what to be aware of. Stage zero is where we hope to all be. That means you have no cardiovascular or kidney or metabolic risk factors in this group what youre doing is all the lifestyle things, diet exercise, no smoking, all of that kind of stuff in stage one, however, you might already have some excess fat or excess fat especially in the belly area or you might have prediabetes were also talking here about lifestyle interventions. Losing 5 of your weight loss, for example. In stage two, were starting to have metabolic risk factors. High blood pressure, typetwo diabetes maybe you have Kidney Disease here this is where and why it is so important, this is where we can intervene and we want to start intervening with medications, for example, ozempic, wegovy different medications to prevent progression of the Kidney Disease. And then stage three, we have a symptomatic Heart Disease. You have established Heart Disease. Maybe youre also on a statin. And then stage four where you have symptomatic Heart Disease with or without kidney failure theres a lot in there i want to reinforce to people listening and to providers like myself, this is actually a guidance and a framework tha we can all look and say, where do i fit along here . Where do my patients fit along here the point is not to progress the point is to regress. If you are in stage three or two or one, you want to go backwards, not forwards. There is also this risk calculator now also being unveiled, as well this is a new component so the old risk calculator was used to predict a probability of a heart attack or stroke in people ages 40 to 75 now it is going to start for people at age 30 it is going to predict a tenyear and a 30year probability for having a heart attack, a stroke or congestive heart failure. The best thing about the new calculator is going to incorporate these kidney numbers, diabetes numbers and the social determine gnats of health think about people that dont have access to a gym or nutrition and they have more coordinated care for people. Again, not a new disease, just a different way to think about cardiovascular disease in the syndrome of all these factors that interplay with each other. Thank you. It was a lot.

This a big week to start shopping perhaps many retailers including jams and walmart kickin off major holiday sales. Business reporte brian cheung is here with some deals that you need to know about. Always good to have you. Thanks for coming back. Thanks. Where can shoppers starts to find big holiday deals yeah, this is a great way to get ahead of Christmas Google says that as of midoctober, 21 of people said they have done some Holiday Shopping. Already already, yeah people want to get ahead of the curve. That means a lot of stores are trying to capitalize on getting people to the deals as early as possible kohls, bjs, and walmart have already started deals today through the end of the week. Amazon and walmart sales dont start until tomorrow, and theyre going to be short. Its only a few days these are flash sales that theyre using to get people ahead of the curve is this something new, or does this happen every year . Amazon has gone about a new strategy, so this is something thats been more recent lately but theyre trying to get black friday plus october sales as well. Lets talk about gifts we should splurge on now, perhaps things we should wait on. Well, the natural question is where are the best deals we spoke to a Retail Shopping expert home essentials, small appliances, and Beauty Products are the things you want to watch out for this weeks deals. Home essentials, pots and pans on amazon 50 off. Keurig Coffee Makers at walmart, 55 off. Dry shampoo or Beauty Products 30 off. And then i did want to highlight that tech in some cases could be a good deal as well. Youre seeing apple watches for 50 off. If you know your loved one really wants an apple watch, could be a good time to buy in there. And those things really go on sale. It is a big ticket item as well. What about things we should wait to buy . Things we should skip now . Yeah. I mentioned tech so we did see watches on sale, but it is usually the case that tvs and other types of laptops, for example, tend to have the steepest discounts on black friday if you can, wait a few weeks its not long until we get to november some toys, also. The best deals tend to be in december after black friday. Very interesting but as you know, with toys, if you wait until that long, they might not be on the shelf that much longer. If you see a toy you know your kid wants, buy it ahead and early. Lastly, winter apparel you dont see the discounts until the later part of the season because people are trying to bundle up now theyre willing to pay up a little more. If you can, wait until later parts in the season. Okay. Lets talk about these prime day deals as well, right yeah. The sales begin tomorrow 25 off some laptops and monitors if you wanted a new vacuum for the house as well. We were seeing 30 off dyson products there is other things i was seeing amazon essentials, for example, things you need for the kitchen, 30 off. If you are a runner, you can get some shoes for 50 off those deals dont start until tomorrow so it is a flash sale as well. It will only last through wednesday. To be clear, this is amazon primes big deal day different from prime day not to be confused with prime day. But it is all the same in sales. Amazon is just making up stuff. Yeah, every week will be a prime week maybe at some point. Thank you for more holiday sales and our shop todays Team Live Blog on amazons prime deal days, go to our website, today. Com shop.
