Also this morning, fresh tension between washington and ran after the president announced that a u. S. Navy ship downed an iranian drone in them le east. Todays Senior International correspondent keir simmons has the details. Good morning. Good morning. Or thisning once again, a war of wards between iran and the white house. Irans revolutionary guard trumps g president claim that an iranian drone was brought down by u. S. Forces. The Iranian Military claiming all its drones are safe. Another tense incident in the waters of iran. A u. S. Amphibious assault ship encounterin drone, bringing it down with german technology, the president said. The boxer took defensive action against an iranian drone, which had closed into a ve, very near distance,ap oximately 1,000 yards. T he escalation coming after aas meed u. S. Response to several recent oil tanker incidents in the strait of hormuz. A critical shipping wa rway. Uastyesterday, irans revolutionary g saying it seized a ship, accusing its 12 crew members of smuggling oil. Iranian state t reported. And last month, iran shot down an unmanned u. Surveillance drone, claiming it eered iranian air space, which the americans dispute. President trump tweeted , we we to retaliat i but he called off the military strike at the last minute. Theyre described as economic terrorism by its foreign minister whoppeared to offer a nuclear concession this week. A offer falling far short of the u. S. Demands, and america contins to bolster its military in the region, sending hundreds of troops to saudi arabia. The aim, deterrence. The cofear, a lict with iran, with devastating consequences for the entire region. Keir, obviously, theres the fear of an escalation. Whats happening on the diplomatic front . Is anybody talking . Ll savannah, the key qution has always been what is President Trumps strategy . Efrbs since the president walked away from the Iran Nuclear Deal negotiated bysident obama. The u. S. Strategy has been maximum pressure on iran to force a longer term nuclear deal, but since President Trump decided not to launch that strike against iran, effectively pulling back from the brink of war, there do appear to be renewed efforts by some on both sides to talk. Ain, savannah, there are real hurdles. Theyre now a long way apart. Just one event could spiral into conflict. Nyght now, a deal available to washington might look a lot likr ident obamas deal, and wouldtohe white house sch that . Keir simmons on the breaking news. Th now to that war of words between President Trump and the four democratic congresswomen he targeted on twitter and the campaign trail this week. The president now trying to disavow the send her back chant that broke out at his wednesday night rally. Peter alexander has the latest on this one. Good momoing. Good ing to you. Ilhan omar went back to where sh came from last night, her home district in minnesota, where she was greeted with a heros welcome. It followed President Trump disavowing the behavior of his own supporters and claiming tha heried to stop that send her back chant despite video that shows otherwise. Less than 24 hours after that incendiary chant by trump supporters. Punctuating the president s complaints about minnesota congresswiem ilhan omar who fled somalia as a child as a refugee. Im not happy about when i hear chants like that. But that chant was inspired by his wkend tweet, calling on omar and three of her democratic colleagues all american to go back to their home country. The president also falsely claiming he tried to cut off the chant. I was not happy when i heard that chant. I didnt like that they d it and i started speaking quickly. An assertion contradicted by video of that moment, the president making no effort toe silenche crowd. Instead,aiting 13econds until the arena quieted down. Omar has a history of launching vicious antisemitic reed. [ chanting send her back ] and she talked about the evil. Overnight, omar returning to her home state. Greeted by a rousing welcome. Another trump target, alexandria ocasiocortez, blaming the president. It is about creing a volatile environment in this country. Through violent rhetoric. Some republicans criticizing the owd. The chant was offensive. Its just wron b ut the president s Reelection Campaign is arguing too much attention is eing given to that new chant. Comparing it to lock her up. Go back to 2016, andcl hilla ton, well, shes still not locked up. It was a rally chant. Lets be clear about this. If theres a problem with the ant, will you agree this chant is racist . I would say that it does not convey the spirit of the campaign. The president wants to see is it racist . Im not going to say its racist. You administration from the beginning. What are your sources telling you about whats behind the president backtracking on the chant . Sources familiar with the conversation tell us Republican Leaders, some of them senior comfortable with that send her back phrase. Told the Vice President mike pence they thought the chant was not helpful and should be discouraged. And the New York Times this morning is reporting that the president s own daughter, ivanka trump, also expressed her discomfort, urging hero father Say Something about it. Craig and savannah.

City leaders in places like chicago, philadelphia, boston, new york city, are all telling residents to take the extreme heat seriously, encouraging them toedtay in air condition buildings and drink plenty of water.

Her parents want to share chloes story and a warning about cruise ship safety. Well have that full conversation for you monday morning onday. Now to more on the extreme heat thats felt across much of this country. Imagine if you had to go to work, and your office did not have air conditioning. Nbc Senior Investigative correspondent cynthia discovered thats precisely what thousands of u. P. S. Workers are dealing with. A lot worse than no air conditioning. They say theyre struggling especially during sweltering days like this. We talked to u. P. S. Oyempls all over the country who tell us something has got to change. I am a nurse, and i was terrifd. Theresas husband jim haswo ed for u. P. S. For 15 years. But one dreadfully hot week in august of 2016, she says, he. Early lost his life because of the heat blurred. Sion was i was seeing stars. I was throwing up. Just honestly could not dri that vehicle safely anymore. U. P. S. Package trucks are not air nditioned. D the cargo area can get blisteringly hot. Ihs pretty muc like opening up a big oven and walking into it. Jim ended up in the emergency room. Wonder what would have happened if you delayed half a day before going to the doctor. Yeah. He wouldnt have made it. You sure of that . He would have died. Ts Blood Pressure inhe ff doctors oice was 70 over 30. Clint lives in new jersey, but we discovered its happening all over the country. Drivers say there cargo a can reach temperatures of up to 152 degrees. I didnt want to be, you complainer. So i just worked. Even though you were lightheaded. Yeah. Hes not. Alone an nbc News Analysis ofan feder state data found 107 reports in 23 states of u. P. S. Employees being hospitalized for serious heatrelated illnesses since 2015. U. P. S. Dstlined our reque for an interview, but in a written statement told us this is a small percentage of their workforce, and says that some injuries are caused by workers personal medical issues. But two former department of labor Officials Say they believe the actual number of injuries is higher. Its clearly a big problem. David michaels ran osha, the workers safety agency, for eight years under president obama. Obviously, americans want their packages delivered but d theyont want workers to get hurt. U. P. S. Is a large company. They can afford to make sure those workers arent hurt. He admits he was never able to pass a National Workplace at rule while he led the agency, but says it needs to happen now. If nothing is done, well have workers working harder and faster in hotter temperature, more of tm will be hospitalized. We spoke to 20 u. P. S. Drivers in 11 states who were injured or spoke out about the heat. While many tolds they like retaliation if they complained or took extra breaks. In part because they are constantly monitored. The Company Knows when you have your seat belt on. The Company Knows how fast youre going. U. P. S. Told nbc news it believes air conditioning would be ineffective in the trucks. Said it encourages its drivers to drinkater and rest. And provides employees extensive training. Safety its easy to give that advice, but the employer doesnt say you have time to do it, and we will penalize you for taking that time. Some of them are going to be hospitalized, and sadly, a few of them may even die. Now,u. S. Made nearly 5 billion in profit last year, but says it has not calculated the cost of airon ctioning in its package trucks. They say it would not be effective because the trucks make frequent stops and doors are often open. Some experts say there could be other Solutions Like allowing more time for breaks when r temperaturese to dangerous levels. Now, as for jim clink, hes considering retiring early. He knows tha means hell take a pension cut, but he says he just doesnt know if he can work for the company anymore. A lot of people will haves their eye opened by the story. Is there anything being done to address this . Funny you should ask. Just last week, congresswoman ju chu from california introduced a bail to mandateo a oesh osha t come up with a bill. They could visit every company in thisou cry once every 160 years. So he says yeah, Congress Taking action is really the only way to go. Osha, the safety and hea administration. Thhank you.

We a back at 8 08 with more of our special one giant leap series. Celebrating the 50th annivsary of apollo 11. This has been really fun. And Neil Armstrongs first step onto the lunar surface captured the worlds imagination 50 years go and forever shaped the apollo astronauts perspective of earth. Harry smith joins us with more on that. They got a view few of us will ever have. You think about almos everyo ever been to space has that view. Go back to the soviet, the first one to orbit the earth. Ke he t about how beautiful the earth was, and one of the soviet officials in cha se of thepace program said, you know, maybe instead of pilot, we should have sent lpoet. Take aook. The earliest americans, native americans. Used the moon as a calendar. It kept time. The ancient greeks, romans, and egyptians all believed the moon was god. For as long as we have looked to the heavens, the moon has engaged our imagination. Our dreams. We choose to go to the moon and do the other things,ot cause they are easy but because they are hard. When president kennedy said this, no american had even orbited the earth, yet before the decade was through, this. Three, two, one. Zero. Going to the mo, the Apollo Program wouhe require t resources of the most powerful and technologically advanced nation the world had yet witnessed. And a price tag of a then staggering 25 billion. An 18yearold i know hadust graduated from high school. He watched that summer night and believed anything was possible. The greatest genation had won worlwar, been lifted up by broken enemies and beating the russians to the moon was a darn big deal a battle won in our long cold war, but it did nothing to heal our broken cities, which were bleeding from riots. And did nothing to stop the u. S. From Digging Deeper into the trench of despair that was vietnam. 50 years later, our mother earth is burning up from abuse and neglect. Those men who left earths orbit, the apolloastronauts, they learned something from their perch above the planet. They saw what we could not. Mike collins was the pilot of the apollo 11 command module. I said veryasually one time, hey, houston, i got the world in my window, and that leads me to think we all have the world in our window. We should look at it as a fragile object of great importance tous. We are somewhat responsible for what we see and the good and the bad of what we see. Neil armstrong once said, it suddenly struck me that that tinyea pretty and blue was the earth. I put up my thumb and shut one y e,d and my thumb blottet e planet earth. Ie didnt feel lik a giant. I feltvery, very small. Bi bill, an apollo 8, said they had gone to study the moon, and they had really discovered urthd. He took mans first whole earth picture. It was nothing but blackness around it. Sure showed that the earth was a very beautul but quite fragile place. Did we miss something 50 years ago . Perhaps the heroic effort requed to get to the moon shouldave been less a tahdah moment than an aha moment. It proved that imagination, determination, and mey can get big things done, but maybe space is just easier to conquer than our problems here at home. Poverty, ineqlity, disease, climate change. We wonder 50 years ler what big thing could we, should we accomplish now. Wow,harry, you always put it in perspective. Its easy to romanticize this accomplishment, and why not, it was incredible. But also the look at the work that is unfinished in this beautiful place. Without question. Tso, to think of the determination ofhis country, to say this is this thing we want to do, and that as a s peop many pulled together. Tens of thousands across the country, and all different kinds of walks of life. Remember t t other day . Sewing the space suits. Mark margaretlt ha, there was no such thing as software. Theyre inventingcience as they go along in order t achieve this goal. In u. S. Dollars, it was about 25 billion back in the day. In todays dollars, probably more like a quarter of a trillion. Hat could a quarter of a trillion dollars do now . Also, just the vision, the daring of it, to say were going to do it, not because its easy but because its hard. Ty au. Where is our audacity a where is our sense of common purpose . Were all touched by all the chnology that wasreated out of that program. Without question. Eve day. Day. Computershe size of a bread box that our phones are now a million times more powerful than. Gps. Exactly, the laser beam that gets shot to the moon because they left torefl up there. We still use them. This whole experience has done nothing to diminish carsons crush on you, harry. Hes looking at you tell me a bedtime story. I have the lunar rocks yesterday, you werent here. When i did the voiceover work, i shut my eyes and it was my best harry smith impression. We love having you take us on this journey. The fortunate one. Thank you so much for reminding us that were capable of doing big, great things in our country. Why not . Thank you, harry. My pleasure. Thanks, uncle hay. These two. What you got, al . Could you just read the phone book to people in our audience are going, whats a phone book . Thats true. Anyway, lets show you what we have happening for wetoday. Re looking at this oppressive heat wave. The heat and the humidity making for a very dangerous vetuation. Se storms pushing across the midwest and the upper great lakes.
