The holiday season despite High interest rates and record inflation there are new indications that the economic Outlook is a bit brighter than it was earlier this year NBC's Tom Costello has the latest hey there you know for most of this year the Federal Reserve has been waging this aggressive campaign to bring down 40-year high inflation it's been raising.

Interest rates at a pace not seen in decades that impacts mortgage rates credit cards new loans and now new evidence that inflation may be starting to wane and in the meantime the possibility of a rail strike very much hinges on what Congress does with the holiday season in full swing this morning Congress has taken steps to.

Stop that looming rail strike the house passing a bill that forces an agreement between rail companies and their workers it now goes to the Senate where it faces a harder path but leaders there working to pass it quickly to avoid disrupting holiday shipping and potentially rocking the economy which right now is showing new signs of strength despite record.

Inflation revised government stats show the economy grew faster than expected in the third quarter with GDP rising at an annual rate of 2.9 percent and there's evidence the job market is cooling off a new Labor Department survey shows job openings fell in October to 10.3 million from 10.7 million the previous month and that's actually good news because the.

Shortage of workers has been driving up wages and feeding inflation hopeful signs for the Federal Reserve following its aggressive series of interest rate hikes while it tries to Tamp down inflation now the FED chairman Jay Powell is signaling the central bank will slow the pace of those rate increases this month from three quarters.

Of a point hike to a half Point hike it makes sense to moderate the pace of our rate increases as we approach the level of restraint that will be sufficient to bring inflation down that was welcome news on Wall Street with the Dow surging more than 700 points on Wednesday still chairman Powell says rates will have to remain.

High for an extended period if the U.S manages to avoid an economic downturn experts say it will be driven by strong consumer spending we're out there spending the economy should be able to move forward without an economic downturn it comes the Shoppers are bringing holiday cheer to retailers the national retail Federation says nearly.

197 million people flocked to stores from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday I've stopped like never before I think the prices were really good we do have another hopeful sign here about the economy gas prices coming down and rather dramatically the national average right now national average 347 a gallon down 28 cents in a month and yes.

We know five dollars a gallon out in California but overall an amazing come down from where we were back in June at five dollars a gallon and that's real money in people's pockets back to you Tom thanks so much Native is still unsolved mystery surrounding the killings of four students at the University of Idaho the community along.

With family members of the victims held a vigil overnight in their memory as authorities continue to search for their killer NBC News correspondent Morgan chesky joins us now with the latest Morgan good morning yeah Joe good morning and it really was equal parts emotional and Powerful these grief-stricken parents pouring out their.

Hearts to thousands inside a Pac football stadium who listened to them in absolute silence police here in Moscow are sure everyone that progress is being made on this case but with a killer still at large the fear here absolutely remains at the University of Idaho emotional please and prayers and we ask that the.

Memory of Ethan Kaylee Zanna and Madison be a light that dispels the shadow of these days as friends and family of the four students lost came together to grieve the father of Kaylee gonzalves sharing his beloved daughter was with her best friend Maddie Mogan in their final moments they came here together and in the end they died together in the.

Same room in the same bed other schools across the state held similar vigils the families and the public still looking for answers early in the investigation police described the attack as targeted but didn't disclose their basis for that conclusion this week the County Prosecutors saying targeted may not have been the right word but that the killer.

Was focused on the house investigators believed that whoever is responsible was specifically looking at this particular residence and telling another reporter that a resident was targeted but his office then saying that was a miscommunication and Moscow police saying detectives do not currently know if the residents or any occupants were.

Specifically targeted is there anything investigators can tell this community to ease their fears about a potential murderer being out there well what I can say is that we continue to investigate 24 7. we have 50 agents and detectives on the ground with no suspects named and no murder weapon found police are turning to the public to help fill in a.

Detailed timeline it would be nice to know maybe who they interacted with maybe what routes they took to go home foreign shaken to its core still waiting for answers make sure that you spend as much time as possible with those people because time is precious and it's something you can't get back.

A tough night for so many here in Moscow police say no suspect no Person of Interest named but they are optimistic about the progress of this investigation in the meantime a chilling detail from a top criminal profiler who told NBC news they wouldn't be surprised if the killer themselves was at last night's vigil or similar events to witness the traumatic.

Aftermath of this horrific crime in fact that fear has kept one family from having a funeral service they are postponing it for the time being out of concern that could actually take place Joe is a disturbing thought Morgan thanks so much for that report turning now to the triple demick threat overwhelming hospitals cases of RSV and.

Covet are rising and now the CDC says there are millions of flu cases across the country NBC News correspondent Aaron McLaughlin joins us now with more Aaron good morning good morning Lindsay with 76 percent of pediatric beds occupied Nationwide no corner of the country is being spared in Virginia health officials confirming the.

State's First pediatric flu related death doctors are urging everyone to take precautions against the flu covid and RSV with the holiday season in full swing and Thanksgiving travel reaching nearly pre-pandemic levels new cases of the flu RSV and covid are expected to keep Rising because the travel patterns last.

Week we expect rates will go up evenly probably across the country the CDC reporting high or very high respiratory illness activity within 35 states with at least 6.2 million influenza cases reported so far across the U.S flu activity is more than 20 times higher compared to last year the spike happening at the same time it's becoming.

More difficult in some regions to find certain medications needed to ease symptoms like children's ibuprofen and Tamiflu the combination of the high viral activity and the lack of some of these available remedies and treatments is creating a worsening of this triple democ here in California new RSV cases are over overwhelming many children's.

Hospitals Orange County extending its RSV and flu related emergency declaration after ER visits to its Maine Children's Hospital doubled on social media a parent sharing her baby's terrifying experience Marissa Clark spent Thanksgiving in the hospital with her son brickson he was really really struggling to breathe the.

Three-month-old was diagnosed with RSV and went into respiratory failure after five days in the Pediatric ICU baby brickson is finally home making sure that you're catching that stuff before it gets too late and with the winter holidays approaching Dr Patel reminds us there's some simple steps you can take to protect you and your loved ones.

Against the flu in covid-19 masks are readily available and make sure that your flu shot and coveted boosters are up to date Lindsay those images are so hard but great advice Erin thanks so much now to the latest developments in the criminal tax fraud trial against the Trump organization it could soon be.

Wrapping up with closing arguments set to begin today NBC News investigative correspondent Tom winter joins us now from outside the courthouse of Tom this is a pretty complex case we should point out former president Trump has denied any wrongdoing he's not been personally charged in the case but walk us through what the company is being accused of.

Here Rachel so this all centers around this idea that the company essentially according to the indictment was in cahoots with its former CFO Alan weisselberger vice versa depending upon how you look at it or your point of view from the attorneys in this case uh that they were working together not only for.

Weisselberg to receive these perks uh kind of off the books not paying taxes on an apartment in a car and tuition for his grandkids for school and avoiding income taxes but that in fact the Trump organization and we're looking at its headquarters that they were working together to not have to pay certain payroll taxes and that the company also.

Benefited from weisselberg scheme which he's pleaded guilty to and so that's the ultimate question here is whether or not the Trump organization not only benefited but they were working hand in hand with weiselberg to be able to get these benefits Joe so what can we expect from the closing arguments today right so I think both sides are going to.

Kind of key in on Alan weisselberg's testimony but also this idea uh that they've we've been talking about since frankly before this trial began and it centers around this did Alan weiselberg could do this on behalf of himself for his own personal greed as he stated on the witness stand or did he do it as part of an effort with the Trump.

Organization so that the Trump organization could benefit as well as weisselberg and of course he's the Chief Financial Officer still on the payroll even though he's on leave of absence and it has the opportunity to get a half a million dollar bonus in January so it was a weird situation where he's testifying against the company that he.

Has a bonus coming up for in just a couple of months that is unusual so what is it prosecutors need to prove in order to get a conviction and what kind of punishment then could the Trump organization face if convicted right and that's really what their argument to the jury will be about today is this idea of okay not only did the.

Trump organization get a benefit out of this uh but they willfully did it and they did it with weisselberg uh actually working with several others and some of those individuals have testified at this trial to be able to get a benefit for the Trump organization so they've already got the guilty plea from weisselberg now they're going to try to.

Say that weisselberg and others work together to give the Trump organization a benefit and so they should be convicted that's what we're going to hear from prosecutors if convicted the maximum penalty here well obviously they're not going to take the Trump headquarters into custody or March it into jail we're looking at just a fine.

Here Joe of just shy of 1.6 million dollars all right Tom winter in New York Tom thank you time for a check every morning news now weather meteorologist Michelle Grossman joins us now good morning Michelle good morning guys great to see you and it's the first day of December feeling like December and looking like December in many spots.

Correspondent Claudia lavonga joins us from Rome with this and other world news Claudia good morning good morning guys yes the Taliban official has confirmed that on Wednesday at least 10 students were killed after a bomb went off in a religious school in the north of Afghanistan a video that was also released by the Taliban that.

Allegedly shows the aftermath of the blast shows dead bodies and blood stains on the floor there was no immediate claim of responsibility though the Islamic state has been responsible for similar attacks in the country in the past let's go to South Korea where all young sued the 78 year old actor playing the elderly contestant in a Netflix.

Series squid game will stand trial on charges of indecent assault according to local media a woman filed a complaint against all in December last year accusing him of making unwanted physical contact during the meeting in 2017. Yang TSU who became the first South Korean actor to win a Golden Globe for his role denies any wrongdoing and let's move to.

Britain where the Royal Mint issued a new collectible coin to celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Rolling Stones The Coin features an image of Mick Jagger Keith Richards Ronnie Wood and the late drummer Charlie Watts performing The Rolling Stones did write a song called money in 1964 in which Mick Jagger kept singing repeatedly I.

Want money that's all I want but in the end he got it money with his face on it yeah I can manifest that okay sing the song 60 years that's unreal I guess rock and roll is like keeps you keeps you on yeah amazing thanks Claudio coming up a big breakthrough in the fight against Alzheimer's disease we're going to break down data from a promising new drug to.

Treat patients and also the potential side effects it can cause that's coming up next foreign we are back with promising new results from an early Clinic trial aimed at treating the most common form of dementia and the results showed an experimental drug was able to slow the.

Progression of early stage Alzheimer's Disease by 27 well researchers say there are still large risks to the medication they say it is a major step forward in Alzheimer's research let's bring in Dr Madoff tombezetti to break down these results he's the director of the clinical and translational Neuroscience unit at the National Institute of Aging.

Doctor uh good to have you with us so first of all walk us through the results from this clinical trial what is it you're seeing are you seeing results that are a sign of Hope thanks a lot for having me on the show it's a real pleasure so this uh particular clinical trial marks a landmark in the field because it's for.

The first time in several decades that an experimental drug has been shown to slow the progression of the disease and so as a scientist uh this is quite a major Milestone but as a physician caring for patients with Alzheimer's disease there are also several caveats that come to my mind and one is as you've already said there are some side.

Effects associated with the drug there's an increased risk of brain bleeds in some patients there's an increased risk of brain swelling in in some and while in most patients uh these might be mild and some may not even show symptoms there are some in whom significant problems can develop and these include headaches confusion uh.

Falls uh disturbances in vision and so these side effects might become important as uh as we start administering the drug if it's approved the other caveat to bear in mind is that in this clinical trial the benefit associated with the drug appears to be quite small and it's unclear how meaningful this might be for patients.

And it's unlikely that patients are going to be able to see obvious differences on a day-to-day basis uh if they receive this medication so while the scientist in me is excited at this development it's a major landmark in the field the physician in me urges causing in in this optimism as well Dr White is Alzheimer's so difficult to treat.

There are a couple of reasons one reason is that we really don't know what drives the disease we don't have a precise handle on what causes the disease and so a lot of research over the past few decades has focused on the buildup of toxic proteins in the brain and many scientists believe that it is these toxic proteins that drive the disease.

Process and this particular drug that we're talking about today is targeted to remove one such protein from building up it clears this protein from the brain but there are other scientists who disagree and they believe that these proteins um really are not driving the disease process their markers of damage that has.

Already happened sort of like tombstones in a graveyard and that removing these proteins really does not help patients with the disease so there's a lot of discussion and debate and so unless we have a better understanding of what drives the disease process we're not going to be able to develop effective treatments or a cure for this condition.

All right Dr Thomas Eddie thanks so much for joining us this morning help break it down and explain this we really do appreciate that officials in San Francisco have voted to allow police the ability to use potentially lethal robots in emergency situations but the police are insisting these robots are nothing new Valerie.

Castro has the details for us this police robot is menacing as it looks now isn't a deadly weapon at least not yet it's currently equipped to defuse bombs but a Tuesday night vote by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors the amended item number 28 passes by a vote of eight to three allow San Francisco PD to outfit current.

Department robots similar to this with explosive charges your move creep when it comes to police robots science fiction movies make us think of these nightmare scenarios but in real life a spokesperson for the sfpd says they'll only be used to contact incapacitate or disorient violent armed or dangerous suspects when.

Lives are at stake we're talking about using a robot that we've had for 11 years in the San Francisco Police Department this is not brand new we use the robots every single day critics worry the move will create a police state the city's public defender tweeting we are a city not a military before the votes some supervisors.

Voicing their concerns that this could be Crossing that line This is a local police force here to protect us this is not the U.S military that we are arming and there is serious potential for misuse and abuse of this military-grade technology this should not become the we take down people that are committing crimes while.

Some in favor of the vote argued The Narrative is backwards and the tool could actually be used to save lives if I didn't know any better you would think sfpd just woke up one day and thought it would be really cool to go out and get some Killer Robots and go terrorize the community and that's not at all what's happening here it's fear mongering.

Against the police a police robot with explosives might sound far-fetched but the method has been deployed before thank you in 2016 during a mass shooting in Dallas Police there scrambled to equip a remote controlled robot with a bomb to kill a sniper who shot 12 police officers and killed five during a protest.

Our thanks to Valerie Castro for that report the policy is only to use these robots in extremely limited situations such as risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers critics still say a human being should be there to make the decision to use deadly force financial news start starting with Salesforce co-ceo Brett Taylor who.

Announced his departure from the company yesterday for this at more financial news the NBC's Silvana now joins us for more good morning Silvana good morning all right so we're going to start with the sudden departure of Salesforce co-ceo Brett Taylor Weighing on Cher's pre-market despite better than expected third quarter results this is the second.

Time in less than three years that founder Mark benyoff has lost a co-ceo the new surprise investors since Taylor had only been in the rule for a year and had quickly climbed the ranks since the start of equip was purchased by Salesforce in 2016. LastPass the password managing app just disclosed another data breach except this time.

Brain chip to begin human clinical trials in six months the company is developing brain chip interfaces that could ultimately Aid disabled patients who have trouble moving and communicating during an event yesterday musk said the company was also working to use the technology to restore Vision it's important it's important to note.

Ship them NBC News correspondent Jacob soberop has more on what you need to know to avoid a shipping nightmare this holiday season hey what's up Christmas 24 days away uh but who is counting uh Santa's packing his sleigh the rest of us are going to be at places uh like the post office this time of year the cost of just about.

Everything is going up and that includes a shipping as well that's why we got these hacks to let you know how to get your packages where you want them to go on time make sure everybody's happy on Christmas this morning the tree lights are on and so is the Christmas crunch.

With more than 20 billion dollars already spent on Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined the focus now getting those gifts under the tree in time for Christmas it comes after last year's ship again in Nightmare marked by record delays and out of stock messages all part of the supply chain crisis that was caused by.

Covet outbreaks and record consumer demand while a repeat isn't expected this year experts say prepare to pay more to send presents by mail FedEx ups and the U.S Postal Service are already implementing Peak holiday pricing USPS says their first class and ground services will cost an extra 5.85 for heavy packages sent more than 600 miles.

Labor charges are leading all the major shipping carriers to put some extra fees on shipping costs which they are definitely passing on to Consumers still there are plenty of ways to save on shipping the Postal Service offers free packaging supplies and you can stretch your dollar with other services by reusing old box and padded envelopes as.

Long as they're in good condition but keep in mind packing with less will save you more put packages in the absolutely smallest box they have available you can also cut costs by cutting out the middleman buy gifts online and have them shipped directly to the recipient many retailers even offer complimentary wrapping and an option to include a gift.

Receipt no matter how you ship to ensure delivery by Christmas day keep an eye on the calendar to take advantage of FedEx's cheapest service be sure to mail those presents by the 14th the Postal Service needs them by the 17th for ground shipping and UPS's timing varies by distance but upgrading to three-day.

Select will buy you until the 20th to send your gifts still insiders advise tis the season to be proactive waiting to send gifts until the last minute can put your delivery at risk of unforeseen weather and processing delays meaning when it comes to shipping it never hurts to be an eager elf one more Pro tip you got to show up.

Midweek and show up 30 minutes after this place opens after the post office opens that's the best time to get in line to get in and out quickly and to get those deals that we're talking about so don't show up on the weekends don't show up at the beginning or the end of the week that's not going to do you any good.

All right some good advice Jacob thank you so much coming up on Morning News Now history at the World Cup yeah we will tell you how a group of female referees is Making Waves and Qatar ahead of today's match between Germany and Costa Rica that's next welcome back history is coming to the.

Men's World Cup today FIFA announced that the first all-female crew to call a men's game is taking the pitch Francis Stephanie frapper Brazil's they use a back and Mexico's Karen Diaz will be the sole referees at Germany and Costa Rica's matchup today Robert already made history last week as the first ever woman to officiate a men's World Cup.

Game and now will also become the first female head referee and I always think with these first I'm always amazed like this hasn't happened yet it hasn't happened yet but it's cool that it is yes love to see that very cool all right the end of an era is almost upon us is Trevor Noah will soon say goodbye to the Daily Show but the comedian is keeping.

Busy with a new Netflix special Noah spoke with our friends over at today earlier this morning here's a portion of that conversation how hard is it to say goodbye to a job that is among the most coveted in our industry I I think it's extremely difficult but not because of the job part it's it's difficult because of all.

The people that I do the job with you know I'm sure you you know what it's like everyone becomes you know not a family but but a team yeah you know there's a team that you enjoy doing things with there's people that you enjoy making jokes with and creating ideas with and figuring out what the puzzle is going to be and I think that's.

That's the most difficult part because it becomes part of the routine of your heart so are you scared oh yeah oh yes definitely I I think anything worth doing should scare you you know so I was scared to take the job you know I was scared to leave the job you know I'll be scared to do the next project hopefully I always think to myself if you're not.

Scared to try something or to do something then you know like why are you doing it like walking should be something that shouldn't scare you yeah right I just walk Walking doesn't scare me but everything else in life that's exciting scares me a little bit I mean you've had so many big interviews to look back on I cannot believe you just.

Had Will Smith this is somebody we've all wanted to hear from yeah what kind of an impression did he leave on you after that interview I think he left the impression of a human being you know and I think that's what I'm trying to do in life is is try and connect with my Humanity I'm a human being people are human beings who are experiencing.

Something we're all going through something we're all trying to figure out who we are and how we relate to the world and so funny enough that's that's what I'm consciously trying to think of when I engage in the news when I engage in my comedy when I travel the world it's it's it's always in in the top of my mind why did you want to leave the.

Show what was it well it's not that I wanted to leave the show it's that I needed to find a way to make time for everything else that's happening in life you know I realized during the pandemic everyone talks about a work-life balance but that almost you know creates the idea that your work in your life are two separate things when in fact I came to.

Realize during the pandemic it's just it's a life life balance it's your life you're living your life right now I'm living my life right now your life doesn't stop because you working or not working and so if you want to make more time for family if you want to make more time for friends and what you want to do and everything you know is time is the.

One thing we cannot increase I love that you know so so it was a case of like make more time find a way to create that time let's talk about your Netflix special um it's so funny you do such great presidential Impressions which one's the easiest and which one's the toughest it depends it really depends you know.

Because it's funny like my favorite one is is Obama because let's hear it but whenever I do it to him like I'll say it to him you know he'll see me yeah and be like Oh Trevor uh what's going on and then and then I'll say that to him I'm like Mr President uh good to see you and he's like I don't sound like that Trevor oh my God but you do you sound exactly.

Like that then he's like oh no I don't I'm sorry I love playing with with him on that um you know he was on the show recently and it's just it's just fun I think because like I play with more the caricature of who they are in my head in your head than like the specific I'm not trying to impersonate them I'm trying to impersonate the character of who they.

Are to me you do a good Clinton I I don't really actually you know no because I just remember like all the stories he'll tell I mean you've you've got him it's just like you know he's just got that chilled out very you know how did I ever tell you about the time you're in Louisiana weren't you gonna I was also in Louisiana for a while you.
