the former president on the attack against harris on the stump but also on the defensive about proposed changes for next month big showdown. this morning the trump and harris campaigning are sparring over next month's debate. with a 70-day sprint to election day, both candidates looking ahead to their first meeting with harris holding at least one mock debate, sources say. while trump turned to social immediate you to campaign and on monday blasting a proposed rule change that would leave both candidates microphones on throughout. that's compared to the trump-biden campaign in june. microphones were muted unless it was their turn to speak. will the former president still attend? >> we're thinking about it. they also want to change the rules. you know the deal was we keep the same rules. now all of a sudden they want to make a change in the rule because she can't answer questions. it doesn't matter to me. >> reporter: trump campaigning in michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania this week.

longest war. >> our country will never be safe again until we have fired those responsible for this disaster. nobody fired -- worst, most embarrassing -- in my opinion, the most embarrassing day in the history of our country. >> both president biden and harris marked the anniversary with statements. the vice president writing of the fallen, quote, my prays loved ones. my heart breaks for their pain and loss. sheinelle? >> garrett, back to the debate. what is vice president's strategy for wanting to keep the mics on. >> twofold. she wants to do something joe biden do. fact check donald trump in realtime. keeping her mic open means she doesn't get steam rolled, but her campaign wants trump's mic open in part because they want the american people to see what they're calling the unfettered donald trump. which is basically what they would get if he gets re-elected. essentially they don't think trump can control himself for 90 minutes. they want millions of viewers to see that. i've been asking the trump campaign for comment on this since yesterday afternoon after the former president spoke about it. still no response. sheinelle?

>> we'll have to see what happens there. garrett, thank you. now to that breaking news from overnight. russia carrying out more air strikes inside ukraine, just one day after a massive bombing campaign that included attacks on the country's power grid. nbc's erin mclaughlin is on the ground in ukraine for us again this morning. good morning, erin. >> reporter: good morning, guys. this is the road to the russian region of cur sk. ukraine continues its invasion taking more and more russian territory with each passing day. overnight, there were russian air strikes on a number of ukrainian cities, including the city of sumi, where i am now. you can see this building was completely taken out by a prior strike. proof that when it comes to russia's invasion of ukraine, no city spared. overnight, more russian air strikes on ukraine. this time a russian missile hit a hotel in the city, killing at least two, according to ukrainian officials.

on monday, the embattled country's air defense and in overdrive, intercepting 102 of 127 missiles fired by the russians, according to the ukrainian air force. >> resulted in the deaths of ukrainian civilians and targeted more than two dozen critical energy sites. >> reporter: including this critical dam in the kyiv region. if breached, officials estimate 10% of the ukrainian capitol could be underwater. while only lightly damaged in monday's attack, it is part of russia's latest attempt, the ukrainian president says, to tearfy his people. president biden vowing that russia will never succeed in ukraine. all of it coming days after ukraine marked 33 years of independence. with a party in the streets of kharkiv. and a somber ceremony of remembrance in the capitol. the u.s. embassy warned of a missile attacked tied to the celebrations. monday's strike sent millions of ukrainians to shelters. metro stations once again

doubling as safe havens. but within hours, life returned to normal. a show of how much this ongoing war has become a part of every day life. two years ago, we met this colonel shortly after his men pushed the russians out of the area around kharkiv. since then he fought in the battle for bakhmut, one of the bloodiest of this war. you're thinking you're going to win? >> we not go away. we stay and protect our country and protect freedom. >> reporter: they are still assessing the damage from this latest round of russian air strikes, but i'm told by officials that it hit the power grid pretty hard. now we're seeing rolling brakouts today in a number of ukrainian cities, including here in sumy. >> erin mclaughlin on the ground for us, thank you. we are following tensions in the middle east today. israel and hezbollah have exchanged more strikes on both sides of the lebanese border. in gaza, people are fleeing one of its last-functioning hospitals, fearing it could soon be the target of an israeli raid. nbc's matt bradley is in tel

last month israel assassinated a senior u.s. leader near beirut and hamas leader. iran's threats against israel continue, vowing vengeance. revenge is certain. the attacks over the weekend still left northern israeli towns with piles of debris and lingering fears. this 9-year-old was asleep when air raid sirens went off. how do you feel now? do you still feel scared? >> a little. but my sister was with me in the room and took it a bit harder. she told me. i didn't cry. i was a little scared, but i didn't cry. she and her family rushed to their tiny safe room where they narrowly avoided falling rocket debris that smashed through their family room ceiling. they're cleaning up the danger, but the danger remains. an idf special forces rescued this man from the tunnels underneath the gaza strip. important to note, this is only the eighth hostage out of more than 200 who have been rescued ever since those hamas terror attacks last year on october

focus is if all windows and doors were properly closed, making the ship watertight and a focus on making sure the keel was properly deployed, which is a heavy weight that suspends below the vessel, another likely focus for investigators. >> you have to ascertain whether the captain gave any orders to have the doorways and the hatches closed or whether he gave any orders to have the keel deployed or fully retracted. that's where the investigation is going to look, into the decision-making and the communication. >> so, megan, what are the next steps in the investigation? >> well, laura, cutfield's lawyer tells nbc news that his client will be questioned by prosecutors this afternoon at the hotel where the crew and survivors have been staying. but keep in mind, the boat is still at the bottom of the sea. it needs to be pulled up. that's, of course, part of this investigation. ultimately prosecutors will take a look at all of the evidence to

>> prices are up 21% since the pandemic started. this is really issue number one for the government and federal trade administration here. they say they would be better scale. they would be better together. they actually will be better as competitors together. the government is saying, no, no, no, when you start taking players off the field and you have one, big huge company, that's not good for competition. >> in reality, are some stores likely to close if this goes through? so they will have to die vest some stores, maybe 500. somebody else would buy those, where they overlap and too much concentration. there had been a merger in 2015 where one of these big chains had said they were going to sell off some stores and then those stores went bankrupt and then they bought them back and closed them any way. so the government in the courtroom is very skeptical that these two companies will do what they will do and protect jobs and keep prices steady. >> what i didn't realize until before this conversation is that walmart is the biggest food seller in this country, like a

third of the trillion dollar market right now. so these companies recognize that they're facing real pressure from a lot of the big box stores. >> that's what they're saying in court. look, the biggest grocery store in the united states is walmart. it is not your neighborhood grocery store. it is a super store. so they're saying they've got to get together and have this big scale so they can pressure producers to lower prices the way that walmart does. the way bwalmart uses its leverage to lower prices. that's what's playing out in the courtroom. whatever happens in the courtroom, you will likely feel at your neighborhood grocery store because this touches every corner of the grocery business. >> what about the workers who would be impacted really all over the country? >> about 710,000 workers for these two big grocery chains. that's a lot of people. they have a good size unionized work force here. again, the companies are saying, hey, we're going to honor these contracts. this is going to be good for the workers. the government is saying, wait a minute, no. when you have fewer players, that means you don't have the competition to be able to allow,

you know, the threat of work stoppages or strikes, right? it allows you to negotiate for a better package. so again, two completely different world views in this courtroom. it is all over your grocery bill. >> wait and watch. christine, thank you. time for another check of the weather. oh, al? >> we are watching the tropics. hurricane season has been active in the pacific. we had a system drops 22 inches of rain this season. in hawaii, they have two systems gilma and hector making their way toward hawaii, the not making direct strikes they will cause a lot of rain. now, in the atlantic, it has been very quiet. why? cooler water off the african coast prevents strong tropical waves from forming. plus, we had strong wind here is that freszs storm development. and dust, above average dust coming off the african coast, elevated levels after the second dustiest july ever. however, we're looking for things to change. we've got the gulf of mexico, its second hottest year to date.

the third hottest year ever for the central atlantic. so we expect right after labor day, we're already watching the possibility of three systems forming. so, thingsings are going weather. coming up, a special back to school edition of today's five things loaded for kids and parents and for successful return to the classroom. we will get to that and your

like 110. tomorrow more heat and triple digits feeling like 101 in louisville. charleston, 102 in raleigh, 101 in new york city. that's going to drop. why? because we've got a very big cold front that will be bringing severe weather. already we have strong storms in minneapolis today. look for airport delays because of severe weather from green bay, chicago, detroit, on into cleveland for today. tomorrow that makes its way further into the east. including new york city, washington, d.c., 42 million people at risk. good news, tornado risk is low. the bad news, look for strong wind gusts and damaging hail. peter? >> al, thank you very much. also ahead this morning, meta ceo mark zuckerberg is making headlines saying he regrets the social media company given pressure from the biden

administration to sensor covid during the pandemic. zuckerberg said he would push back in it happens again. he said he regrets the decisions to remove certain content from facebook, instagram as well as whatsapp. the white house said, quote, they defended their approach, when confronted with a deadly pandemic, this administration encouraged responsibility actions to protect public health and safety. meantime, the u.s. soldier that fled to north korea last year is set to plead guilty to desertion. attorneys for travis king said their client will plead guilty to five offenses with nine others dismissed under a plea deal. private king was in south korea as part of a unit rotation when he crossed into north korea. his mother has said she believes something happened during her son's deployment to affect his mental health. king's sentencing is scheduled for next month at a texas military base. now to a big announcement breaking this morning about the blockbluster weight loss drug zetbound. pharmaceutical giant eli lilly is now releasing individual viles of some doses in an

effort, they say, to improve access to millions of americans who need the medication. let's bring in dr. tara nerula. nbc news medical contributor. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> can you break down what this means because there are current versions out there. >> right. this is potentially a game changer for millions of americans who struggle with obesity, overweight and have a risk factor and seeking zepbound. it's been in short supply. it's been very expensive. this provides another option. what they have been using to date is these auto injector pens. very simple to use where you click and give yourself an injection. what's now going to happen is eli lilly will be releasing single-dose vials. so the typical medicine you think of in a glass jar with a syringe and needle you'll have to put together and give yourself an injection. now these will be released in the lowest dose 2.5 and maintenance dose 5 million gram dose. but really this is going to be potentially helpful. i've had so many patients come to my office and almost frustrated in tears saying they can't find the drug. they were on the drug. they now have to go off it or

it's been out of reach in terms of cost. and this is going to be essentially half the cost. so, anywhere from 399 to 550 in terms of dollars per month for a month supply of these viles. >> you're talking about the price. that's a big difference maker. another challenge for a lot of these individuals who know they need the drug, may be unable to afford it right now, the concern is accessing it. they have real concerns about the idea they're the ones who have to then use the glass vile. they have to suck it into the shot and put it into themselves right now. that's not something they should worry about. it's not too difficult. >> certainly people who are needle phobic. a lot of patients don't want to do that. for many if you follow instructions and go online, eli lilly will have information about this, you can easily see step by step how to do this. it's relatively easy. obviously this has been done for years for many diabetic patients. not an issue. one other thing to point out, peter, a lot of people have been using these compounded forms of the drug.

the fda does advise against that because you don't know what you're getting in terms of safety and efficacy. and so this you're getting it directly from eli lilly. it's really going to ensure that you're getting the right product and allow people the ability to use that as opposed to some of these compounded drugs. >> does it work any differently or any better than any of the other weight loss drugs out there and so popular? >> the two we think about are wegovy and zepbound. they both show 15 to 20% weight loss reduction. these interest big ones as opposed to the older weight loss drugs. there was a recent study that showed zepbound outperformed wegovy in terms of weight loss. we'll have to see. >> thank you. >> nice to see you. turning to remarkable history made in baseball yesterday. the catcher danny jansen the first major leaguer to play for both teams in the same game. here is how this all worked. back in june, jansen was at bat for the toronto blue jays when their game against the boston red sox was suspended in the second inning for rain. the tarps, they rolled them out.

then a month later, jansen was traded to the red sox. when that game finally resumed on monday, jansen was on the field for boston. >> huh. >> and here he is behind the plate in a red sox uniform and ready to catch the rest of what was his at bat. >> jansen said he wore two jerseys during that historic game to keep one for himself and send the other to the baseball hall of fame. i feel like when he was playing for the old team initially he should have -- do you intentionally strike out or something like that, right? >> yeah. >> new teammates, what the heck was that about? >> good stuff. so rare. all right. still ahead for you, carson is back with "popstart" including big news on the newest "yellowstone" spin off and hit show "emily in paris". this morning we're getting teacher's best advice for starting off the school year on the right foot and more expert tips for a successful return to the classroom this year. that's right after this.

he also coaches basketball. let's give a shout-out to south haven high school because they're all watching this morning in pennsylvania, right outside of philly. happy to have you here this morning. >> thank you so much for having me. >> let's dig in. the first one, you say i would never skip back-to-school night. okay. >> yeah. back-to-school night. back to school night, you know, people lead busy lives. i understand it can be difficult for parents to readjust their schedules. but back to school night is an incredible opportunity for parents to not just see, scope and see curriculum, syllabus or even strategic plan of the district, it's really about meeting this amazing individual that's going to spend eight, nine, ten months with your child. >> with your kid. that's good advice. >> that social/emotional piece, that connection to get a vibe. i meet parents to meet me. who will spend time with their child. i think that matters most. >> then you have to follow up. you know the teacher. we have to breeze through these. i would never just ask my child how is your day? what should we ask? >> we're all guilty of that.

we get in the car and reflexively we ask how was your day? we get that simple, terse response, fine, good. layer the questions. change them up a little bit. what we ask our kids at night, what was something difficult that happened today that you wish you could change if you could? and what was the funniest thing that happened. whether or not said it? you might want to be care wonderful that. >> good advice. i would never turn down the opportunity for extra support for my child. >> school districts are good at identifying kids who need extra supports to augment their education. counselors, social workers, teachers. so ultimately when they call and say that we have these extended services, i would always accept them. you can dial them back as the semester progresses. in the beginning you can be reluctant, always accept those services. >> good advice. next make school a quest for grades. >> we're in the digital age of online grading and parents can see grades every single night. we're making a push too hard on

kids to get as and bs. we want them to get into the colleges and universities about their dreams. not about the learning journey and only about the product and not the process, it becomes challenging for the kids. >> okay. only seconds left and this comes from you also. never teach or preach perfection when it comes to sports and athletics. >> yep. perfection is the unattainable ideal. the greatest teacher i ever had in my life, sports. outside of my mother and father, sports. and it taught me everything that i need for life. the most important was resiliency and i learned that through difficulties, failures, adversity and we need to continue to push that on our kids and not perfection. >> good job, kevin. >> you are the best. thank you so much. >> peter? >> good luck this season, mr. haney. we're here with dr. natalie azar. great advice on staying healthy this school year. nice to have you here. number one, i would never send my kids to school without being up to date on their vaccines? >> yeah. this back to school i think we always think about flu and covid. while they're important, we want to think about a lot of other

vaccine preventable illnesses, measles, mumps, polio, meningitis if you have a teenager. vitally important to keep not only your child safe but also the community safe. cdc.gov and your pediatrician definitely good, wonderful resources to make sure your kids are up to date on all the other illnesses. >> flu shots soon. >> never start school without a bedtime routine. >> first of all, how much sleep do kids need between the ages of 6 and 12, 9 to 12 hours of sleep and between the ages of 13 to 18, they need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep. >> we have work to do in our house. >> right, exactly. >> kids who don't sleep well enough, not only can impact their physical and mental health but also their academic performance. here is a little pro tip, if your school hasn't started yet, you can start getting your child ready for that wake-up time by going to bed 15 minutes earlier and waking up 15 minutes earlier and doing that at 15-minute increments until you reach the target wake-up time. >> do dessert earlier, too. right?

never let my kids skip breakfast. >> yeah. as important as sleep is also eating a healthy breakfast. we know that kids who don't get an adequate breakfast don't perform as well in school. they're not going to have as much attention, as much energy and they also can't deal with frustration quite as well. so some pro tips here are go to bed a little earlier. so you have time in the morning to eat. you can make your breakfast the night before. make sure you have something, grab and go. and doing whole grain cereal, i love, less than 10 to 12 grams of sugar and more than 5 grams of fiber. >> never start school without an action plan for the medical condition and never send my kids to school sick. >> okay. action plan for medical conditions. think asthma, diabetes type 1, epilepsy, make sure the school nurse has easily legible instructions from the pediatrician and medications that are not expired. you do not send your children to school if they've had a fever of 101 or vomiting or diarrhea in the last 24 hours.

little sniffles, a little dry, non-hacking cough, they're going back. covid guidance has changed. it's now in line with other respiratory illnesses. fever free for 24 hours without using medication, your kid is going back to school. >> you're a fast talker. tell this to my kids. back to you, laura. >> i got vicky nguyen with all the consumer tips you need to know. first one, this reminds me of buy nothing, vicki. i would never spend a penny before doing a full sweep of the house. >> that's right. deloitte survey found parents plan b to spend $600 per child on back to school supplies. up to 1300 if you have a college kid. why? electronics are expensive. what can be reused for electronics, buy secondhand. back market, swap up, best buy, amazon, just want to check the warranty, what it covers and for how long. >> stay on the money here. i would never spend my whole budget before the first day of school. that sounds like a no brainer. >> yeah. shopping expert says this is great. leave money in the reserve. when your kids go back to school, suddenly, i really like

everybody. i am standing in the middle of a real-time experiment. the trees here were purposefully planted to test whether they could improve the health of residents in the area. this morning we have the ground breaking answer that researchers here in louisville think will be a green print for the rest of the country. louisville, home to the kentucky derby and the bats swung by sluggers little and big. this morning showing the country the measurable difference trees can make in people's health. why did you plant here? >> across from us is a freeway and it spews a lot of air pollution in this direction. >> reporter: university of louisville doctor leads the green heart project. he says residents living in areas where tree cover more than double saw a key health risk factor, inflammation levels, drop by more than 20% compared to those that don't get new

trees. inflammation is the underlying cause for development of lots of different long-term chronic diseases, including heart disease, obesity, diabetes and cancer. if you decrease the levels of inflammation, then it would diminish the risk of these long-term diseases. >> how much? the doctor says it corresponds to a 10 to 15% decline in risk of heart attacks, cancers or dying from any disease. 35-year-old nick wirens is a father of three enrolled in the project. >> my body mass index did improve over the years. my cholesterol went down. >> reporter: and the seven trees they planted to buffer his backyard from the alley are pretty, too. >> for us, like, it has made our backyard feel a little like a sanctuary, specially closing off this alleyway. >> reporter: the green heart project is essentially a clinical trial in four square miles of south louisville, cut

in half by the waterson expressway. here researchers planted more than 8,000 new trees and shrubs over six years, transplanting transforming the expressway, vacant yards and homes. at this house, where nine trees stand guard, the nature conservancy chris chandler says it's all about what and where you plant. so these trees here essentially act like filters? >> yeah. we call them biofilters. so we strategically designed the plant species and the configurations to intercept the air pollutions coming off the highway. >> reporter: and evergreens, whh never se their needles, work best. >> that's what allows the tree to intercept the air pollution. whether it sticks on the needles of the trees or it's absorbed into the tree from its pores. >> reporter: to nick wirens, it just makes sense. >> i think the more trees we can plant in urban environments, the better. >> reporter: now, with $1

billion for urban forestry provided for in the inflation reduction act, officials from around the world and across the country are coming here to louisville from places like new york, washington, denver and dallas to find out how greening their their residents. everybody, back to you. >> i think that is fascinating. >> i love that. >> yeah. >> and, look, it also helps decrease the effects of the urban heat sink effect that it lowers temperatures. it puts out more oxygen into the areas. it just -- it's a no lose proposition. >> it is not just the physical side, but the mental side. you go out in the forest for a hike, how much better do you feel? >> they put those fake trees out on the plaza. i feel way less stressed. it feels good out there. >> the plastic ones. >> you know where you go to get those? an oasis. >> ah, full circle. speaking of living your best life, the secrets to better
