5:33 am
in rockefeller plaza. welcome to today and thanks so much for joining us on this saturday morning. nice to be back with you. it's nice to have you here. your yellow is sort of like the dancing green and purples in the skies above so much of the planet these days. the amazing thing is you think you'd have to go to like, finland or, i don't know, the arctic to see this, but actually people across the country are getting to see these gorgeous lights the first time in something like 20 years we've had views like it's pretty cool. so were you lucky enough to see it? that incredible show in the sky last night. look at that. the northern lights are as peter said, not something we really ever get to see here in the united states. but boy did mother nature put on a show last night and we could actually see more tonight. good news. we're going to explain why this rare sight is happening now in a few minutes. also ahead, this morning, prince harry and meghan markle. they are being welcomed like royals in nigeria this weekend. they're there to promote mental health awareness and the invictus games that helps celebrate wounded soldiers . but let's begin this morning with our top story. as israel appears to be getting closer to
5:34 am
an invasion of the city of rafah in southern gaza. we have full team coverage this morning. let's begin with nbc's hala gorani in cairo. cairo, where just a few days ago, talks over a potential cease fire fell apart. paula, good morning to you. good morning laura. well, the israeli military has ordered hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate overnight in anticipation of that strike on rafah. the israeli prime minister openly defying, therefore, the u.s, after the biden administration publicly came out against that assault on southern gaza. now, this latest evacuation order affects up to 400,000 people, many of whom are now crowded into al-mawasi. a small plot of land of basically consisting of sand dunes on the coast. there's no sewage, no water, no electricity. there the israeli military is calling it an expanded humanitarian zone, but humanitarian organizations say it fails to meet even the most basic needs of residents
5:35 am
fleeing for safety the idf, it has to be noted as also several times bombed safe zones that it told civilians to flee to, and there have been increased airstrikes overnight. tanks operating in eastern rafah, where residents say they don't know where to go as much of gaza has now been leveled. laura hala, the humanitarian crisis as you laid out has been just growing for months. so where does it go? yeah, only a few trucks carrying fuel have made it into the gaza strip yesterday , but it has to be said that no aid has gone in since the rafah crossing with egypt was closed. that's in the southern part of the strip. and the world food program said this week that northern gaza is now experiencing full blown famine. so therefore, there's real concern, laura, that the same could happen in the south. back to you, hala gorani. thank you so much for your reporting. israel's threatened full scale assault on rafah has caused new strains in its relationship with
5:36 am
the us, and in a just released report to congress, the biden administration is highly critical of israel and how it is used. u.s. arms in this war. nbc's aaron gilchrist is at the white house with the latest. aaron, good morning peter. good morning to you. the us will continue to provide weapons to israel. that's one of the top lines from that highly anticipated state department assessment of how israel is using american weapons in gaza. now, the report says it's reasonable to assess that israel may have violated international law, but that the country has not broken the terms of the us weapons agreement. now, this report calling the assurances israel provided credible enough to continue the flow of weapons, that news coming just days after president biden acknowledged that us weapons had killed innocent palestinians. he also acknowledged that he paused a new shipment of 3500 bombs to israel last week, and he warned that he would suspend further weapons shipments if israel carries out a large scale assault on hamas in rafah, where we know more than a million civilians are holed up now. the
5:37 am
president's warning during an interview earlier this week drew praise and criticism from republicans and democrats. progressives calling it a positive step in holding israel accountable. conservatives blasted biden, though, calling the pause a reward to hamas. pennsylvania democratic senator john fetterman called that decision deeply disappointing. and even as the us questions how effective israel has been at limiting civilian harm in gaza, the administration has sent other defensive weapons and small arms to israel. peter aaron gilchrist with the very latest this morning at the white house. aaron, thank you. meantime, tens of thousands of college students are putting on their caps and gowns this weekend ready to graduate and head out into the real world. but the real world has already come to their front door on the campuses, with some schools forced to move or cancel their commencement ceremonies. amid all the protests over the war in gaza, nbc's jesse kirsch is in chicago with more on this part of the story. jesse. good morning. laura good morning. this is a graduation season of contrasts. we've seen plenty of pomp and pomp and circumstance,
5:38 am
but we're also seeing pivots, schools making changes to ceremonial plans because of campus tensions tied to the israel-hamas war near los angeles, pomona college is moving its commencement off campus because demonstrators are camping out on the stage in protest of israel's actions. other groups have been removed by force. police in riot gear physically clearing out demonstrators at the university of pennsylvania this week, according to the school. out of more than 30 arrests, only nine were students. officials say they found chains that could be used as weapons. and even with that encampment taken down, protests continued. you can see this time marchers making their way to the outside of the interim university president's residence that happened overnight and at the university of arizona, authorities used tear gas and rubber bullets on a group that rebuilt an encampment which had previously been cleared out. police say officers were hit by rocks and water bottles. there meanwhile, the university of wisconsin-madison
5:39 am
reached a deal with demonstrators there on friday, the school promising to address their concerns and in exchange, protesters must not cause any, quote, organized disruption of graduation ceremonies this weekend. and that encampment had to be dismantled. laura. all right. jesse kirsch in chicago, thank you. now to the criminal trial against former president trump. with the most crucial days beginning monday, the prosecution's star witness, michael cohen, expected to take the stand. and nbc's dasha burns is following this one for us this morning. dasha good morning peter. good morning to you. we'll finally hear from trump's former fixer turned critic michael cohen next week. this comes after the salacious testimony from stormy daniels, the woman at the center of the alleged hush money scheme. cohen could be the linchpin in the case, but he comes with baggage. whether or not the jury finds him credible could be make or break for michael. this morning, multiple sources telling nbc news prosecutors will call their star witness, michael cohen, on monday, donald trump's former fixer turned vocal critic
5:40 am
unleashing on his old boss in his book and on social media, cohen spotted online this week wearing a t shirt depicting mr. trump behind bars. the judge on friday directing prosecutors to inform cohen that the judge is asking him to refrain from making any statements about the case or mr. trump, but not placing a gag order on cohen. while mr. trump's remains in place, barring him from attacking witnesses and the jury. it's a disgrace. it's not a case. there's no crime there is no crime and they fail to show a crime. cohen a highly anticipated witness for the prosecution as the jury has now read his text messages, heard his voice and seen evidence that he paid stormy daniels $130,000 just days before the 2016 election to protect the campaign. the defense says her story of sex with mr. trump was false. a shakedown for money brokered by cohen, making his testimony and credibility on the stand essential. mr. trump has
5:41 am
pleaded not guilty to the charges of illegally disguising his reimbursement checks to cohen, his former attorney, as legal expenses to cover his tracks. the face off between the presumptive gop nominee and cohen, likely to be one of the most dramatic of the trial with a grueling cross-examination, cohen comes with baggage, including previous convictions for campaign finance violations and lying under oath. meanwhile, friday, the jury hearing from former trump aide madeleine westerhout, who sat outside the oval office and confirmed mr. trump met with cohen at the white house in 2017, where prosecutors say they devised their reimbursement scheme. but she testified the former president signed checks without reviewing them first, contradicting what mr. trump said in his book and other witnesses set at trial. well, natasha, there's also a little bit of new reporting this morning about who the former president may be considering as a vice presidential pick right now. what more are we hearing? yeah peter. that's right. well, you know, with veepstakes take everything with a grain of salt.
5:42 am
given one man will make this decision and he loves a competition show. but axios is reporting this morning that nikki haley is under consideration for vice president. according to two sources. now, the relationship has been icy since their rivalry in the primaries. but even after dropping out of the race, she's still pulling somewhere between 15 and 20% of the votes away from mr. trump. the only remaining republican candidate bringing her into the fold could benefit him. peter. yeah, no, it's a real interesting thing, right? just this last week in indiana, the primary there, she got nearly 22, 1 in 5 republican voters still voting for haley. donald trump knows he needs to do something about that figure. dasha. exactly. thank you. appreciate it. all right. thanks, dasha. also this morning, controversy in virginia after a school board voted friday to restore the names of two schools that were changed only a few years ago to remove their confederate leaders during nationwide protests over racism. nbc's yamiche alcindor has that story. today, people in shenandoah county are divided after virginia school district
5:43 am
voted 5 to 1 to restore the names of confederate military leaders to two public schools. the reason why they changed the name, i kind of understand that. but we need to put it back to our heritage. this is where we're from. this is what we do. i don't like it at all. and just thinking about it makes my heart race. stonewall jackson, it's a part of our heritage process, was wrongfully done thursday night. parents, teachers and students sounded off in front of the school board. people don't take the time to think about students like me who would not be proud to graduate from a school with the name stonewall jackson. he fought for slavery to be a constitutional right. the contentious hours long board meeting lasted into early friday morning. please do what's right for your county. restore our heritage, our history in our school names. my heart breaks for the children that are going to have to walk into schools named after people that wanted them and their families enslaved by the white man. after the killing of george floyd in 2020,
5:44 am
there were nationwide efforts to reckon with racism and get rid of confederate symbols. statues were removed from public squares, schools and military bases across the country were renamed here. stonewall jackson high school and ashby lee elementary became mountain view high and honey run elementary. but in the years since, some conservative leaders here have been trying to reverse those efforts, which is what happened here. you cannot ignore the heritage and feelings of your black and brown students just because we are the minority. they honor men who believe that i have less value and worth because i am black. this reversal is a sign that the debate over how america deals with its painful past is far from over. peter, laura, thank you so much. now to that unusual event that's been happening this weekend, a severe solar storm. it is causing some stunning light shows the northern lights here in the u.s. you can see them from the deep south to california. folks being treated to these sites overnight having an impact on technology as well.
5:45 am
elon musk said his starlink company's satellites are being hit as well. and as nbc news tom costello reports, it could really have that impact on the tech that we all depend on its 93 million miles away. but the violent eruptions on the sun are out. a spectacular night show to a lot of earthlings as a fierce magnetic storm brings the northern lights to regions that rarely see them. this could actually be seen, perhaps from northern alabama, along the horizon all the way out to northern california for solar. experts have issued the first severe geomagnetic storm warning since 2005. those solar explosions, called coronal mass ejections, or cmes, are racing towards the earth at 500 miles per second, while humans are not in danger, it could disrupt power grids, navigation and satellite communications. scientists call it a rare g4 event. a g4 is really big, and we might absolutely see some
5:46 am
effects down here on earth. some your, you know, cell phone might not work, but definitely have radio blackouts. those have already started to happen. astronauts on the space station and airline passengers should be safe. in 1989, a solar storm knocked out power in quebec for nine hours. you have the initial hit, the shock wave, as we call it, that arrives and then the magnetic cloud. the storm could possibly last all weekend. if you still have your eclipse glasses, you can see the massive solar spot 16 times the diameter of earth. it's huge. at night, your cell phone might actually detect the northern lights better than your naked eye. peter and laura, back to you guys. there have been so many. tom, thank you for that. there have been so many amazing pictures. you just flipped through instagram or facebook. i know today and everybody from like oklahoma to who knows where else capturing these awesome shots. as long as my alarm still goes off, i'm fine with it affecting my tech, that's all. you live in new york city too much night around here. hard to see this in space. all right, it's time for a first check of the forecast. and for the first
5:47 am
time in days, most of the country is finally getting a break from all the severe weather. but this was the scene in tallahassee on friday where a possible tornado may have touched down. bringing down trees and power lines and killing at least one person. let's check in with angie lassman. hey, angie. hey there guys, you said it. we've. we're getting a break across, especially the midsection of the country, which was so hard hit over the past. really? honestly, six weeks we've had consecutive severe weather outbreaks for six weeks now. a little bit of a break as we roll through our saturday. but notice we've got some rain across parts of the great lakes not expecting anything too impactful. there maybe a thunderstorm or two, but across parts of texas it's quiet right now. but we're going to start to see this kind of little disturbance happen out over parts of the southern rockies that emerges here later today and pushes out over the plains. and then we start that kind of isolated risk for severe storms. and that ramps up as we get into our sunday. so here's a look at your sunday. remember all that flooding we had just a couple of weeks ago in texas? yeah, the grounds are still likely still sensitive to saturation, so any additional rainfall with some potential for intense rainfall over this region, that's going to be problematic when it comes
5:48 am
to additional flooding. as we get into sunday and monday, we look to see this still being impactful across parts of the gulf coast, too, as we get into monday. so we'll head into our next workweek with some some kind of unsettled weather across that region. the flash flood risk will be there, especially across texas over the next two days. that's a look at the weather across the country. let's see what's happening in your neighborhood. good saturday morning. the time is 547. we're waking up to some dense fog, especially along the coast from san francisco down into half moon bay. even santa cruz, and into the monterey bay. that visibility is limited to about a quarter of a mile or less. so be careful out on the roadways. temperatures not too bad though. most of us waking up in the 50s mid 50s for san francisco and near 60 degrees in san jose. we're going to be in for another warm day in the 80s, possibly even some 90s. i'll show you the map coming up. and that's a look at your forecast, my friends. angie. thank you very much. and still to come right here, adrian latest on prince harry and meghan's overseas trip. good

the next hour or so, you'll see some wet weather that's going to work across the great lakes and eventually into the mid-atlantic and northeast here, as the day goes on. so you'll have a little more rain to contend with and maybe some brief kind of gusty winds and some downpours. by the time we get into tomorrow, that kind of zips offshore and we're left with quieter conditions and we'll start to gradually clear out. for all those mother's day plans across that region between now and then, though, maybe half an inch of rain and some of the highest spots, i think more likely about a quarter of an inch. so nothing too impressive. not expecting, you know, widespread flooding or anything like that, but could be some soggy conditions if you're looking for the sunshine today out west middle of the country for the most part. but we start to see these storms develop late into the day in parts of the rockies that's going to eventually work a little farther to the east and leave us with a washout of a day across parts of the south. unfortunately, these are some of the spots that, as you heard me say earlier, we've already had a whole lot of rain in the past couple of weeks, so the flooding concern will be there. but nice and sunny for our moms across the southeast and the west for tomorrow. that's a look at the weather across the country. let's see what's happening in your
6:07 am
neighborhood. good saturday morning. the time is 606, and you might be feeling those cooler conditions, especially out near the coast. and we also have the dense fog to kind of be aware of out on the roadways until at least 10:00, when we start to mix out temperatures kind of mild for this time in the morning. 54 in san francisco, 55 out towards concord and 59 degrees already down here in san jose. as we go and plan our day in oakland is going to be a beautiful day, just a touch cooler. and we'll talk about the rest of the mother's day weekend coming up. and that is a look at your forecast, guys. mother's day a little rainy here for laura. of course, but it has to. it's the weekend indoor okay indoor plans as long as the kids are out of the house right. truth comes out. thank you. angie, just ahead. can you really get more for less? we're going to tell you about the tv streaming wars heating up this week, what it means for you right after this. well, my doctor gave me breast tree for my copd. things changed for me. breast tree gave me

6:11 am
you like game of thrones with your lion king or maybe sopranos as well. that's what's going to be part of this new announcement from a disney, as well as hbo max, their product, just known as max, going to have some sort of summer debut where you'll have disney plus, hulu in addition to max. there's no espn, so that's important to know for those sports fans there. we don't know the pricing of this, and we don't know the exact time that this will be released. but again, this is a pretty big deal with those two companies teaming up on this. and the streamers are loading up on ads too. yeah. well, there was an announcement earlier this week from amazon prime announcing that their prime video product will have these incorporated ads into their ads that are already pre preprogramed. so when you see an ad, you might get some sort of pop up that says, hey, do you want to buy this t shirt that you saw in the middle of this show? and then they're also going to have this thing where if you pause the show to get up, to go grab some popcorn from the microwave, well, it'll also maybe try to sell you something on amazon prime for, you know, the table that is in that shot or what have you. so again, this is going to kind of increase the interactivity. try to also juice the revenue for these streaming popcorn. we got popcorn. exactly. yeah i mean no easy with popcorn. then i'd be worried about that. there's so many options. i think folks are
6:12 am
overwhelmed right now. do we know what's like best for your wallet at this point? yeah well, with all these like super bundles now it's kind of confusing on pricing, right? because you also buy these streaming services independently. so if you look at disney plus, hulu and max, it can get pretty expensive if you buy all of them independently, it's going to be about $52 a month. that adds up to over $600 a year. now. again, if they bundle them together, presumably it would be cheaper together. but again, we don't know the pricing yet. but broadly speaking, the idea is that. all right, well, netflix about $23 a month, a peacock, the ad free version, about $12 a month, by the way, nbc universal product this adds up very quickly. so try to subscribe to the products that you actually watch the shows on. and remember, it's not a commitment. it's not a contract, right? sign up for a month. if you don't like it, just cancel it. yes, sign up for a month. watch all the shows you need to hold off and then cancel it. yeah, i've done that that you need. so this is a conversation a lot of families are having at the kitchen table right now. right. like the deal was you cut the cord, you went to streaming. now is there more value and maybe reattaching that cord. how does this compare to cable okay. well let's just say what we're already thinking, right? when we talk about disney
6:13 am
and max teaming up. like, doesn't that kind of sound like just a cable package? and that's kind of where things are going here. so you have to start to do the math. now again, as a business correspondent, i hate to make you do the math, but if you look at basic cable plus internet, it's about $144 a month. according to cnet premium cable. it's going to go up to $217 a month. now if you look at the bundle that i was just showing you, disney plus, hulu in addition to max, i mean, that's going to cost you about $52 a month. you add netflix at $23 a month. that gets to about 75 bucks a month. that means that if you're paying for cable, or rather, if you're paying for internet, that's about $75 a month that washes out to that basic cable to internet package. so it depends on how much you're paying for internet, but it also depends on what you want. are you getting the live sports that you need? do you have the catalog that you want? it depends on what you watch and how much you're paying for internet. they said there would be no math in this class. i'm sorry, i don't do math. you need a flow chart. i'll get a whiteboard for next time. information brian, i appreciate you. always good to have you, brian. thanks so much. what's coming up on pop star? still to come, we are excited to talk about the greatest pop star on the planet, laura jarrett. her new children's book. we're also going to take you to eurovision.

time joe is here with pop star. what's poppin a lot to cover this morning? up first, the eurovision song contest. there is nothing quite like it with outrageous costumes, over-the-top performances, and of course, those catchy songs. this year, though, politics are also getting in on the act. with the war between hamas and israel still raging, protesters took to the streets thursday outside the performance venue, criticizing israel's participation in the contest and inside. earlier this week, israel's eden golan was booed during the performance of her song hurricane. producers mandated she changed the title of the song, which was originally called october sky, seemingly a reference to the attacks on october 7th. the contest has a strict no politics rule. now, as we mentioned earlier in the show, it has been 50 years since swedish sensation abba took home the win for their song waterloo. this year, the contest returned to sweden and the foursome teased a return to

6:31 am
time we're live freak accident tennis superstar novak djokovic, now recovering after he was hit in the head with a water bottle, the world number one collapsing, staying down for nearly 30s. how it reportedly happened and oprah's regret that oprah winfrey, one of the most outspoken proponents of diet and weight loss, now saying she should not have promoted diet culture. i have been a steadfast participant in this diet culture. what led to those new comments and why? the talk show icon says she wishes she never did. that famous episode from her show. this is what 67 pounds of fat looks like today. saturday, may 11th, 2024. good morning. welcome back to today on a saturday morning about oprah. you think about the impact she has had on american culture right now. this is a pretty remarkable turnaround. well, i think a lot of people are looking to her to see sort of how she reconciles this. and
6:32 am
obviously now on weight loss drugs herself, it'll be interesting to see whether this impacts sort of the narrative and discussion right now in the country. something she's talked about for years and talking about it again. yeah, that story coming up in just a moment, we do want to get right to today's news. and we start with israel ordering new evacuations overnight, telling palestinians living in rafah, that's in southern gaza to get out with an expected invasion coming any day now. nbc's hala gorani is in cairo, egypt, where peace talks broke down just a few days ago between israel and hamas. hala, good morning. good morning peter. well, there is real panic among residents of southern gaza after the israeli military ordered hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate in anticipation of that strike on rafah. now, this is means, essentially, that the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, is continuing to openly defy the u.s. after the biden administration publicly came out against an assault on southern gaza and suspended a weapons shipment. now, this
6:33 am
latest evacuation order is huge. it affects up to 400,000 people, many of whom are now crowded into al-marwazi, a small plot of land consisting of sand dunes on the coast. there's no sewage, no water, no electricity, and even though it's called a humanitarian zone organization, saying that it fails to meet the basic needs of residents fleeing . and it has to be noted, the idf has also several times bombed safe zones, and there have only been a few trucks carrying fuel that have made it in. there are fears of full blown famine, and this is coming after the state department concluded in a report that it was, quote, reasonable to assess that israel has violated international law in gaza using weapons provided by the u.s. but that it hasn't violated terms of u.s. weapons in fact, peter, the u.s. is still sending smaller weapons to israel despite suspending a shipment of 2,500 pound bombs. peter. yeah, just
6:34 am
escalating the tensions between president biden and bibi netanyahu. hala gorani on the ground in cairo. hala, thank you. this weekend is, of course, a busy one for universities across the country struggling with how to hold commencement ceremonies amid all these ongoing protests on college campuses over the war in gaza. nbc's jesse kirsch is in chicago with more on all that. jesse. good morning. laura. good morning. this is a graduation season of contrasts near los angeles. pomona college is moving its commencement off campus because demonstrators are camping out on the stage in protest of israel's actions. other groups have been removed by force. police in riot gear physically clearing out demonstrators at the university of pennsylvania this week, according to the school, out of more than 30 arrests, only nine were students, but protests there still continued overnight, and at the university of arizona , authorities used tear gas and rubber bullets on a group that had rebuilt an encampment previously cleared out. police
6:35 am
say officers were hit by rocks and water bottles. as all of this is playing out at the university of wisconsin-madison, administrators there reached a deal with demonstrators on friday, the school promising to address their concerns. in exchange, protesters must not cause any organized disruption of graduation ceremonies this weekend and that encampment also had to be dismantled as part of that deal. laura. all right. jesse kirsch in chicago. thanks, jesse. former new york city mayor and donald trump's close confidant, rudy giuliani, was suspended friday from wabc radio. his daily show was also canceled. the station said giuliani had repeatedly violated a ban on discussing discredited claims about the 2020 presidential election. as mr. trump's personal attorney, giuliani was a key figure in the former president's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. giuliani called the ban a clear violation of free speech . tennis superstar novak djokovic says he is fine after
6:36 am
he was accidentally hit on the head by a metal water bottle. this happened at the italian open in rome on friday. djokovic was signing autographs. watch this after his second round win, when that bottle fell from above the world's number one player you see there, curling up on the ground in pain. the bottle apparently slipped out of a fan's backpack, who was leaning over a rail just trying to get his autograph. a tournament spokesperson said that djokovic did not, fortunately, need stitches and it sounds like he's doing okay. check it out. he this morning just posted on a video on x a short time ago wearing a bike helmet as he arrived at the italian open today, writing i came prepared. glad he's okay. that was the news. how about a boost? yeah, here is a perfect boost, of course, for mother's day weekend. the adult children of 80 year old lieu dean andrew recently made her biggest wish come true. that wish having all seven kids home at the same time. the siblings range in age from 40 to 57. they showed up,
6:37 am

6:43 am
what 67 pounds of fat looks like now, calling this iconic moment one of her biggest regrets. it is amazing to me that i can't lift it, but i used to carry it around every day. it sent a message that starving yourself with a liquid diet set a standard for people watching that i, nor anybody else could uphold. the next day i began to gain the weight back. her candid reflections this week follow her shocking admission. earlier this year, i'm on a mission to help convene and help us to keep talking about it all. regardless of what side you're on. oprah became one of the first big name celebrities to come clean about using weight loss drugs. 000 and ozempic we govee, manjaro and zeppelinos all part of a new wave of drugs flying off the shelves because they suppress appetite. but using the drugs for weight loss doesn't come without criticism. the long term side effects are uncertain, and in some cases, needed by medical
