close to over 200 cities setting those records over the next five days. look at those temperatures. we could be looking at records in chicago, toledo, down to jackson, out to syracuse with a high of 93 degrees. tomorrow, bangor, 90 degrees. newark 95. cleveland 94 degrees. we go to the next three days, late week, temperatures into the upper 90s, near 100 in syracuse. baltimore 96 on friday. heat indexes will be anywhere from 100 to 105 or stronger. and guess what? this isn't going anywhere any time soon. the problem is this is a real heat threat -- a health risk because in these areas in orange, if you're out there for a while, you could be looking at heat exhaustion, heatstroke. the areas in red, heat impacts likely. the purple, from peoria, ch chicago, indianapolis, new england, this could be deadly because you could suffer heatstroke or heat exhaustion. going into the 26th of june,

>> hoda, savannah, good morning. good morning to you as well. facing mounting pressure from the united states and other allies to avoid a worsening humanitarian crisis, israel's military now says it will pause fighting each day along a key route in southern gaza. the news coming as muslims mark one of the holiest days of the year. nbc's raf sanchez is in israel for us again this morning. raf, good morning to you. >> reporter: craig, good morning. a major shakeup here in israel today as prime minister netanyahu dissolves the war cabinet that's been responsible for managing the war effort these last eight months. remember, this unity cabinet kind of a team of rivals that included political opponents who joined netanyahu's government after the october 7th attack, but have since resigned because of disagreements over the handling of the war. it comes amid tensions between israel's government and its military over humanitarian aid for gaza.

this morning a new phase of israel's operation in rafah is under way. the idf announcing that they'll be pausing fighting for 11 hours each day to allow humanitarian aid into gaza. the move announced during the muslim holiday. gazan families trying to celebrate among the ruins of war. there is no life. there is no gaza anymore. aid groups welcoming the decision and calling on israel to do more to address the danger of famine. the far-right government blasting the army, saying anyone who was unaware of the fighting is a fool and it was unacceptable. the israeli leader announcing that he's dissolving the war cabinet. but over the weekend, netanyahu

facing new pressure as protesters in tel aviv demanded a deal to free the hostages, even if it means ending the war. just a week after he was rescued from gaza by israeli commandos, a freed hostage speaking out. >> israel, world, hamas, i asked you to make a deal as soon as possible. >> reporter: and one of president biden's top advisers will be here in israel today to discuss not gaza but the intensifying fighting between israel and iranian-backed hezbollah militants in lebanon. the u.s. saying it's doing everything they can to keep that fight from escalating into a full-scale war. >> raf, thank you. turning to an issue we have focused on for years, the impact of technology and screen time on our children. every family grapples with it. this morning when it comes to social media, the surgeon general is making a bold

statement in an op ed in "the "new york times." dr. vivek murthy reports it is time to require a surgeon general's warning saying social media is associated with significant mental health harms for adolescents. the surgeon general is our guest now. dr. murthy, good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah. good to be with you today. >> i think so many of us parents feel overwhelmed by the demands for smartphones, and out matched, frankly. what is your message this morning and why do you think a warning label would actually work? we think of smoking labels, yet people still smoke. >> well, savannah, i'm really glad you asked that. let me first say, parents are struggling all over the country. i spent time with thousands of parents over the past few years, all over america. the number one question they ask me about is social media. they want to know is it safe for my kids? how should i manage it? what the data is telling us, savannah, not only have companies not demonstrated that

their platforms are safe for kids, but there's growing evidence of harm. it shows when adolescents spend more than three hours a day on social media, we're seeing association of doubling the risk of anxiety and depression symptoms. the average use among adolescents is nearly five hours. so that's deeply concerning to me, not just as surgeon general but as a parent myself. now, a warning label would help parents to understand these risks. many parents don't know those risks exist. we have data from tobacco warning labels telling us they could be helpful in changing awareness and behavior. keep in mind, when congress authorized these labels for tobacco nearly a half century ago, smoking within america was above 40%. today, it's under 12%. that's an extraordinary amount of progress. labels were a part of that effort. >> i was struck by this particular paragraph. there's no seat belt for parents to click, no helmet to snap in place, no assurance

that experts investigated and assured these platforms are safe for our kids. there are just parents and their children trying to figure it out on their own, pitted against the best product engineerers and some of the most well-resourced companies in the world. some social media platforms have taken steps. could they do much more, in your opinion? >> they could do much more, savannah. what has happened over the last nearly two decades that social media has been around is truly unconscionable when it comes to the health of our kids. we allowed the platforms to exist, to evolve, to proliferate, to occupy space in our children's lives. our kids themselves are telling us about the mental health impact. i just finished a college tour where i spent time with young people all across the country, and they brought up social media in every engagement we had. talking about how it makes them feel worse about their body image, how it makes them feel worse about their lives as they are constantly comparing themselves to others.

here's the thing, many of them say they can't get off it, because the platforms are designed to maximize time how much they are spending on them. despite the fact that many of them are experiencing harm. that has to change. it's why last year i called on congress to put in place safety standards like we did for cars and other products to make social media safer. it is not okay for us to put the entire burden of managing this on parents. >> the kids are already hooked. frankly, parents are hooked, too. it is not a fair fight. i have a 7 and 9-year-old. i guess i'm asking for a friend. you have after 6-year-old and a 7-year-old. when do you think is the right age to give a smartphone? and when is the right age to allow social media? >> well, here's how we're approaching it for our kids. my kids are young. we're starting to have these discussions among parents in our school as well. but i would delay the use of social media for kids until at least after middle school. i would also, if your children are on social media, i would

create tech-free zones in their day to protect sleep, in-person interaction and physical activity. that could look like not allowing technology at the dinner table when you are eating together. it could look like taking technology away one hour before bedtime and giving it back to kids in the morning. but we need to do this. it is not easy. trust me, i know this because many parents come up to me and say, look, my child is saying to me they're the only one not on social media and they don't want to be left out and they want an account. this is why as parents we need to start talking about this more openly, partnering with each other and helping one another. when we make pacts to enforce these rules together, it's easier. right now, too many parents are struggling alone, feeling ashamed, not realizing that we all are struggling with this same question. >> yes. we could talk for a long time about this. thank you for being here. appreciate it. >> thanks so much. >> i told my kids they could

have a smartphone when they could pay for it. they hit when i say that. >> that's on the money. >> but he makes a great point about parents banding together. >> that's huge. it's like the positive side of peer pressure. you're not the only kid who doesn't have it. >> and the dr. roker approach, which is put the cell phone in the safe. >> he locked it away. >> did you? >> we did. we did. my mom used to say, if everybody is jumping off a bridge, are you? so we all have to take responsibility. there you go. but glad you guys are raising it. and we are raising the little avoidance here. you, if you have to be down in the gulf area, you have to be careful. we have tropical rain to talk about. we'll talk about that in the next half hour. hot and clear out west. and we are looking at strong storms across the northern tier of states. we'll check that out in the next half hour as well. but we'll get to your local forecast in the next 30 seconds.

and that's your latest weather. guys? >> all right, al and that's your latest weather. guys? >> all right, al. thank you. still ahead, a hopeful sight over the weekend.

we will start with a special weekend for the royal family, after princess kate announced she's making good progress with her cancer treatment. she then made her first public appearance since her diagnosis, stepping out for trooping the colour. >> kelly cobiella is live for us at buckingham palace. >> reporter: it is known as the king's birthday parade. it is one of the most important events for the royal family of the year. and princess kate was with her family for that iconic appearance on the buckingham palace balcony over the weekend, telling the world she's making good progress. a royal return for princess kate. smiling to the huge crowds, surrounded by her children, later beaming for the king's official birthday parade, sharing a moment with prince william. it is the princess first public appearance since announcing her cancer treatment earlier this year.

a show of unity with king charles, who has also undergone treatment for cancer. >> it's such a challenging time the royal family to have everyone back together to reassure everyone that kings are going in the right direction for the king and for kate. >> princess kate also releasing this picture and sharing a personal statement friday, saying she was making good progress, but admitting there are good days and bad days. on those bad days, you feel weak, tired and you give in to your body resting, adding, on the days i feel well enough, it is a joy to engage in school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity. >> i think people have seen the princess speaking in a more personal, intimate way than ever before. she's opened up in a way she's never done before. sharing her vulnerabilities as well as the positives on this journey. >> the palace sharing these tender moments behind the scenes of kate with her children, who are also back in the spotlight for the first time in months.

katie nichol is our special buckingham palace expert. she looked great. we're not 100% sure of how she's actually feeling, but what kind of reaction did she get from the british public? >> an amazing reaction. often i think some of these events are bigger in america because we get used to this. we know this pomp and pageantry. i cannot tell you, the weather was biblical. the rain was torrential. but that didn't deter the crowd. the announcement on friday that the princess was going to attend, something we didn't expect, she missed that review of the irish guard the week before. i think that was an indication, coupled with everything we heard from the palace that she probably wouldn't be up for it when, in fact, she was. that appearance on the balcony sent an important message out to the world in a few months that rocked the monarchy with the king undergoing cancer treatment and kate as well. >> to that point, king charles as you mentioned battling cancer. what did you make of the interaction between the two of them, the king and princess kate? >> well, i'll tell you what was interesting about that. if you go back to footage from

the year before, it was william and his father shoulder to shoulder on that balcony. it was catherine and her father-in-law. they were on a shared journey, part of the club they don't want to be part of, but they are. behind the scenes that the king brought great strength to katherine, a pillar of strength. what was always a close relationship is now even closer. >> and how is the king doing, katie? >> i hear he's responded to treatment very well. behind the scenes he's positive and optimistic. there were two non-negotiables in his diary, the d-day landing and this, trooping the colour. i think both important, both non-negotiable. so i think he's looking well. but behind the scenes, obviously, it is a challenge as catherine herself said, there are good days and bad days.

that's as true for catherine as it is for the king. >> thank you very much. we appreciate it. just ahead, a special reunion. the "sopranos" cast sitting down with tom llamas. they are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the show that changed television. first off, we knew the summer travel season was going to be busy. it is already setting records. sam brock is in miami for us. hey, sam. >> hey, craig. good morning. look, we know this is supposed to be a record year of travel. but it is already manifesting in may and june. if you are thinking, am i crazy or is it really busy at these airports, it is really busy at the airports. why things are peaking right now coming up next. ♪ now the tree has roots that need water to grow ♪ ♪ grow jobs, grow skills, make the whole world go oh...♪ ♪ make the green grass grow all around, all around ♪ ♪ make the green grass grow all around ♪ at jpmorgan chase, the investments we make help make businesses happen, that make jobs happen, that make communities happen.

year at the airports. >> sam brock is at one of those airports for us down in miami. sam, first of all, any idea of what's driving all of this travel right now? >> yeah, craig, hoda, savannah, good morning. we do have a sense it's a combination of things, guys. part of it is behavioral. people are craving air travel post-pandemic. we already knew that. airfare is significantly cheaper than it was just a year ago, which might shock some folks. let's get to the tsa screening numbers now. we know last week the tsa came out and said that june 14th was the second highe number of agency.tor t what was number one? meay holiday., may 24th, the 7 of the top 10 days of all time have allpring, which really does k to the fact that right now americans are traveling than they ever have before. as far as predictions moving forward, the iata, the international air transport association did forecast this

was going to be a record year for travel. as we look at that right now, they did have a survey they conducted as well, which shows a third of all travelers are traveling more right now than they did during the pandemic, and that 44% of them say they plan to travel more in the next 12 months than in the previous year. as far as pricing is concerned, we mentioned that a second ago. nerd wallet looked at this and showed that pricing is either stable or down over the last couple of years. look at at. 5.9% drop in ticket prices from this may to may 2023. and about a 1% drop right before the pandemic. and you think about inflation right now. everything else has gone up 10%, 15% and airfare is down. that might explain why people are traveling more right now. >> sam, if you don't like the crowds and you want to save even more money than that, when should you be traveling? >> reporter: great question, hoda. you know, some of the key tips to keep in mind that are simple and will bear some fruit, travel midweek when things tend to get the most congested. fly later when most of the

families have already taken their trips if you want to avoid the crowds. the earlier you fly in the day, the greater the chances your flight will not be delayed. you can bundle your flight with your hotel, which will save you money. also, use travel credit cards to get more rewards. you heard this before, arrive two hours early. i don't know how many of us actually practice what we preach, but certainly we try to do that. and tsa precheck makes a huge difference. i can't overstate how important that is. >> so where are people going? what is the top destination? >> reporter: yes, it is actually florida for families, according to aaa. three of the top ten destinations are all in the sunshine state, whether it is tampa or fort lauderdale. number one is orlando. so the theme parks are driving that. we were out there at universal studios last friday talking about dreamworks land. very interested in the theme park lifestyle. anaheim, las vegas, new york and denver. the reality right now is it is going to be one busy summer.

back to you guys. >> all right. sam brock for us in miami. thank you. 7 of the top 10 of all time. >> how about new york at number four? a shout-out to our hometown. >> hot, though. really hot in florida. >> and a little on the stormy side in parts of the country today. 6 million people at risk in the upper midwest to the northern plains from minneapolis down to rapid city. then tomorrow we have 8 million people from duluth, minneapolis, mason city, omaha, all the way to scott city. the good news is low risk for tornadoes. we're also watching the gulf of mexico. 70% chance of this system developing down through the gulf. it will bring heavy rain that will develop as this moisture just pours into the gulf coast from brownsville to houston. rainfall rates of up to 3 inches per hour. localized flash flooding right into wednesday. we're talking about rainfall amounts over 8 inches from brownsville, corpus christi on

>> and that is your latest weather. guys? >> all right, al. thank you. coming up next, our countdown to the paris olympics as team usa begins to take shape. the swim trials underway with historic races, thrilling finishes and familiar faces locking up their tickets. we'll take you live to indianapolis and also get your morning boost coming up after this.

the joy of movement. we are back of the biggest names in hollywood right here, kevin costner. he's no stranger to the wild west, captivating audiences as lieutenant john dunbar in "dances with wolves," one of my favorite movies of all time.

and of course in "yellowstone." now he's back with a new movie set during the civil war. take a look. >> think about how long they have been at it over one old injury. i know the man i met was on his way to kill everyone in that house. he might as well have been walking out to get the mail for all it bothered him. now they have a second loss and they're this much farther out of their way. can't imagine he'll be any kinder to you this time. >> kevin costner, good morning. >> hi. >> when they describe movies as epic and sweeping, this is the kind of movie they're talking about, "horizon." >> you can't toss that name around because people go, what happened to the epic part? >> it's epic. >> you have to deliver. >> you do. this is the first of what will be a four-part series. i have to roll the tape. at the cannes film festival, you

screened this film and received a seven-minute standing ovation. your whole family was there. and i have to say, when i looked at that, i wanted to know like what's going through your mind right there? >> i had a -- i wasn't expecting that. and -- and then it -- then it happened. and the next thing you know, the camera moved in my face and the people didn't stop clapping. i looked to my left and there were my five children all dressed up looking at me. so, i really didn't know what to do. and all of a sudden, i shut out the noise. i just cleared the mechanism. and i couldn't hear any of them. and i just went backwards and started retracing the steps of my life while it was happening, at the beginning of things, even the beginning of "horizon." suddenly i came back into it and they were still clapping. i finally looked over at the guy and said get me that microphone

and we'll stop this. >> you wanted to make this film series, "horizon" for 36 years. i guess when you get an idea you don't let go of it early. many studios passed. you said, fine, i will do it myself. you wrote the script, acted, directed in it. you even mortgaged your own home to self-finance it. you literally bet the ranch, kevin. >> i'm the only guy i know that pays to work. i pay money so i could go work. >> what is driving you? honestly, it is all about pioneers going west. when i think of how hard they sacrificed and what they did in that drive that pushed them forward, it is kind of like you getting this film made. >> i don't know. but i have this relationship with the audience. so when they look out there and see my name is going to be in a movie, what am i going to give people? what am i taking them? it doesn't have to be a western. i've treated it as important as anything i have ever made. i've treated it as the most important thing i've ever done. but it's just in sync, in line

with what i -- when you go to the movies and it's dark, and it opens up, you need something magical to happen. when i read this, i started to see things that i had not seen in westerns before in the scope and the reach and the humanity and the brutality and the ultimate clash between cultures. and i thought, well, that's what i want to put forth. that's just my promise to an audience of what i'm bringing. >> you said in an interview, i'm as far out on a limb right now as i've ever been. i think that's so brave and so interesting. but i also ask why? you are an oscar winner. you are kevin costner. you could be sitting around -- >> there is a lot of ways. people live my life differently than i would. i'm sure of it, because you have this pile that i never thought i would have any money to begin with. suddenly, i have this thing over here of things that i love. but there is a thing that i love right here, right here that i -- and this relationship that i want to get out to a movie.

i think to myself, okay, when no one wants to make it, what do i do? curl up in a fetal position and die? i say, i think this keeps my promise with an audience. so if i have to risk this, i think, am i going to let this control me or am i going to let this? i'm going to keep enough so that i'm going to be okay the rest of my life and my children will be. but if they want to make their pile grow bigger, they can. to a person, all of them said to me, dad, don't worry about us. we'll do our own thing, we just want you to be happy. >> by the way, "horizon" features an up and coming actor named hayes costner, the name of the title role. you named your 15-year-old son after the lead character. but this is his first role. >> yeah. >> what was it like to direct him? >> he's a beautiful boy, and he's quiet. and i have not shoved my children into the business. i realize there is so many young actors out there that would just kill to be in this movie. i don't want to take those parts away from them just because i

can place my own children in. in a sense, it was a smaller part. i selfishly wanted him with me for the week, two weeks he was with me. we would drive to the set every day and he would whisper. he didn't have a lot of experience, but he's really beautiful in the movie. it is a really complicated scene. in the end, there is a nobility. there is an absolute fatalness about it. there's just -- it's what you don't want a son to do, but at the end of the day you're proud he would make that choice. >> let's talk about "yellowstone" because there's been a lot of back and forth and some backfighting worthy of the "yellowstone script." what happened? what happened from your perspective because they say a scheduling conflict. you say you were there, but the scripts weren't ready. what happened? >> number one, i did it for five

years, okay? and i want to work more than once a year. and we lost an entire year at one point. and i thought, well, that can't ever happen again. it was well over a year. and i said, well, i just have to be in position to make the things. and, really, it's just -- it's just huge. there is a chance to do both of them. but people -- material has to be ready at certain times. and we weren't able to do that. after five years, i thought, i'm just not going to do this. if we can get that, then i'll do it. >> people care because they love the character. >> who loves it more than myself and taylor? i took it over when no one had seen it and i told people i thought it would be pretty good. i went and sat in front of 300 people in europe, another place, and i said i think you'll like this thing. i supported that thing. i've loved it. it's been really important to me. i would love to go back under the right circ*mstances. i think that all of us want, right? at this point, it needs to be the right circ*mstances. >> so you are saying there's a chance.

>> saying there's a chance. there is always a chance. i love the thing. you know, you got to be really clear about that. >> yeah. kevin costner, it is so nice to have you here. that is right one of the four-part saga "horizon" is in theaters when? june -- i had it written down. >> june 28th. it's coming up. >> and chapter 2 arrives august 16th. congratulations. thank you. >> you got that one. what was the first one? >> i know. all right. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> all right. al, over to you. as we take a quick look and show you what we got. heat risk here in the east. storms in the northern plains. tropical rain down through the gulf. hot and clear out west. that's what's
