THE FUNERAL FOR ISRAELI AMERICAN HOSTAGE AMERICAN HOSTAGE HERSH GOLDBERG-POLIN IS SET TO BEGIN THIS MORNING HERE IN JERUSALEM. WE ARE ALONG THE PROCESSION ROUTE, AND NEWS OF HIS MURDER AND THAT OF FIVE OTHER HOSTAGES SPARKED DEEP SORROW AND ANGER ACROSS ISRAEL OVERNIGHT, THOUSANDS PACKING THE STREETS OF TEL AVIV TO PROTEST THE DEATHS OF SIX MORE HOSTAGES. PROTESTERS BLOCKING A HIGHWAY IN TEL AVIV, SETTING FIRES, DEMONSTRATING AGAINST PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU'S HANDLING OF THE WAR. ISRAELI POLICE SEEN CLASHING WITH PROTESTERS, ARRESTING DOZENS, AND USING WATER CANNONS TO DISPERSE THE CROWD, DRAGGING AND PUSHING THEM THROUGH THE STREETS.

AND ANOTHER LOOK AT ALL OF THE PEOPLE HERE GATHERED TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS TO THE GOLDBERG-POLIN FAMILY MORE THAN 95 HOSTAGES STILL IN GAZA THIS MORNING, INCLUDING SEVERAL AMERICANS, AND ACCORDING TO OFFICIALS, THE BELIEF IS THAT ONLY ABOUT HALF OF THEM ARE STILL ALIVE. FAMILIES HERE IN The White House reacts to the death of six hostages ISRAEL URGING ISRAELI GOVERNMENT TO ACCEPT A CEASEFIRE DEAL AND BRING THE HOSTAGES HOME MICHAEL? >> OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH THOSE FAMILIES THERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MARCUS. WE GO NOW TO SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG FOR THE ADMINISTRATIONS REACTION TO THE KILLING OF THE HOSTAGES IN GAZA. GOOD MORNING, SELINA. >> GOOD MORNING, MICHAEL. PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS HE IS OUTRAGED AND DEVASTATED BY THE DEATH OF HERSH GOLDBERG-POLIN. BIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS MET WITH HIS FAMILY, HIS PARENTS, AND SPOKE TO THEM OVER THE WEEKEND OFF OF THEIR CONSULTANTCONDOLENCES. MAKE NO MISTAKE, HAMAS LEADERS WILL PAY FOR THESE CRIMES AND WE WILL WORK AROUND THE CLOCK FOR A DEAL TO SECURE THE RELEASE OF THE REMAINING HOSTAGES. NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR JAKE SULLIVAN MET WITH THE FAMILIES OF THE REMAINING AMERICAN HOSTAGES STILL HELD CAPTIVE IN GAZA. THERE ARE STILL SEVEN OF THEM, THREE CONFIRMED DEAD. AND THE DEATH OF SIX MORE HOSTAGES RAISES THE STAKES FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN TO NEGOTIATE A CEASE-FIRE DEAL. BIDEN CELLS AS WILL MEET PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS MADE CLEAR THIS IS A TOP PRIORITY FOR THE REMAINING MONTHS OF HIS PRESIDENCY AND A GOAL THAT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS SAYS OVER THE LEAK AND THAT SHE WILL NOT WAVER The latest in the race for the White House IN HER COMMITMENT. >> WE RETURN NOW TO THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND PRESIDENT BIDEN HEADING TO THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TOGETHER IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. THE RESULTS OF OUR NEW POLL SHOWS HER AS THE LEAD NATIONALLY. SHE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE HAS THE DETAILS. >> THIS WEEK KICKS OFF THE BEGINNING OF THAT FALL SPRINT. THE HARRIS-WALZ TICKET OUT VISITING THOSE THREE KEY RUST BELT STATES, MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, AND PENNSYLVANIA, COURTING THOSE WORKING CLASS AND UNION VOTERS. HARRIS WILL BE IN DETROIT AND PITTSBURGH TODAY WE SHALL BE JOINED TO THE FIRST TIME ON THE TRAIL BY PRESIDENT BIDEN. WE HAVE OF COURSE SEEN THEM OUT TOGETHER IN RECENT WEEKS BUT THIS IS THE FIRST JOINT CAMPAIGN EVENT SINCE HARRIS BECAME THE NOMINEE. MEANWHILE, DONALD TRUMP IS EXPECTED TO LAY LOW EARLY THIS WEEK UNTIL HE HOLDS A TOWN HALL AT FOX NEWS ON WEDNESDAY. THIS ALL COMES AS TRUMP HAS BEEN TRYING TO READ OF HIS POSITIONS ON REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, WAFFLING ON AN ISSUE THAT IS TOP OF MIND FOR MANY VOTERS. TRUMP WELL AWARE POLLS INCLUDING OUR LATEST ONE SHOW THIS ISSUE IS A POLITICAL LIABILITY FOR HIM, GEORGE. >> AND OUR POLL SHOWS THAT HARRIS ENTERS THIS FINAL SPRINT WITH A SLIM LEAD. >> IT DOES. CHECK THIS OUT. IT SHOWS THE RACE REMAINS CLOSE, HERE IS HOLDING A 52-46 PERCENT LEAD AMONG LIKELY VOTERS, BUT THAT WAS WHERE IT WAS BEFORE THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. WHAT HAS CHANGED, HARRIS IS DOING EVEN BETTER WITH WOMEN, NOW LEADING TRUMP BY 13 POINTS, UP FROM SIX POINTS, WHILE TRUMP STILL LEADS MEN BY FIVE POINTS. ON THE ISSUES THAT WILL DETERMINE THIS ELECTION, LITTLE HAS CHANGED HERE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. VOTERS STILL TRUST TRUMP MORE TO HANDLE THE ECONOMY AND IMMIGRATION, BUT IN HANDLING THE ISSUE OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, VOTERS STILL TRUST TARUS MOORE, WHICH MAY EXPLAIN THAT WIDENING GENDER GAP. IT'S WORTH POINTING OUT THAT TRUMP DIDN'T GET MUCH OF A BUMP FROM HIS CONVENTION, EITHER. PERHAPS A SIGN OF JUST HOW LOCKED IN THIS RACE ALREADY HAS. Holiday weekend travel rush >> THE STORY OF OUR MODERN TIMES. MARY, THANKS VERY MUCH. MICHAEL? >> THANK YOU, GEORGE. NOW TO THE TRAVEL CRASH AS PEOPLE RETURN HOME FROM THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND SHATTERED RECORDS FOR THE HOLIDAY, SO THE TRIP THAT COULD BE HECTIC FOR SOME. REENA ROY HAS MORE OF WHAT WE CAN EXPECT. >> GOOD MORNING SEE YOU. THAT'S RIGHT. THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE THE BIGGEST LABOR DAY TRAVEL PERIOD ON RECORD, AND PEOPLE WILL NO DOUBT BE FEELING IT. THAT'S BECAUSE THE TSA IS EXPECTING A. 5% INCREASE IN TRAVEL FROM LAST YEAR. THEY ARE ESTIMATING ABOUT 17 MILLION PASSENGERS FROM THIS PAST THURSDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY, AND JUST TODAY AND TOMORROW ALONE, THE FAA SAYS NEARLY 46,000 PLANES WILL BE IN THE SKIES. MOST OF THE MAJOR AIRLINES ADDING FLIGHTS TO KEEP UP WITH DEMAND. THE BUSIEST AIRPORTS EXPECTED TO BE ATLANTA, CHICAGO O'HARE, AND DALLAS-FORT WORTH. WHEN IT COMES TO THE ROADS, THINGS WILL BE JUST AS CROWDED. AAA SAYS LABOR DAY TRAVEL IS UP 9% FROM LAST YEAR. YOU WILL WANT TO KEEP THIS IN MIND, THE BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TODAY IS ANY TIME BEFORE 10:00 A.M., AND THE WORST IS BETWEEN 11:00 A.M. AT 8:00 P.M. SOME GOOD NEWS ON THE DRIVE IN FRONT, GAS PRICES ARE DOWN. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR A GALLON INSIDE HE BEGIN IS ABOUT $0.48 CHEAPER THAN THIS TIME Forecast LAST YEAR. REBECCA? >> SOME IMPROVING AS THEY ARE, AND WE'LL TAKE IT, REENA. THANK YOU. WE WANT TO CHECK ON THE FORECAST FOR THAT TRIP HOME, AND JOINING IS NOW IS GREG DETRA, A METEOROLOGIST FROM CHICAGO STATION. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH US IN NEW YORK! IN MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING, IT'S GREAT TO BE IN, AND GREAT CATALYTIC FOR A LOT OF FOLKS, BUT THEY ARE PROBLEM SPOTS A GIFT TALK ABOUT. LET'S DO THAT HERE. RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, HAD ABOUT THREE PLUS INCHES OF RAINFALL, CARS DRIVING THROUGH IT. DANGEROUS FROM A DRIVING STANDPOINT AND ALSO FROM A CAR STANDPOINT. YOU CAN RUIN YOUR ENGINE DOING THAT. ORLANDO, FLORIDA, ALSO SAW, JUST SOUTH OF ORLANDO, 4.5 INCHES. YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE WADING THROUGH THE WATER. THIS WAS CAUSED BY A COLD FRONT THAT SLIPPED TO THE SOUTH, PROVIDING DECENT CONDITIONS NORTH OF IT BUT ANOTHER HIGH FLOOD RISK THROUGH GEORGIA INTO SOUTH CAROLINA. THE TAIL END OF THAT FRONT, COLD AIR LAPPING AGAINST THE ROCKIES BRINGING ANOTHER FLOODING FIT TO TEXAS. MIDLAND, ABILENE. BUT THEN, IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE SPOTS I MENTION, IT'S GREAT. SUNSHINE, DRIER LEATHER, A RELIEF FROM OPPRESSIVE HEAT THROUGH THE MIDWEST. WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT BUILDING HEAT IN THE SOUTH. WE'LL DO THAT COMING UP Hotel strike IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. >> THANKS VERY MUCH. SOME TRAVELERS MAY HAVE A TOUGH TIME. AT LEAST 10,000 WORKERS AND AMERICAN HOTELS ON STRIKE. CONTRACT TALKS BETWEEN TOP HOTEL CHAINS AND THE WORKERS UNION HAVE STYLED. TREVOR AULT HAS THAT STORY. >> THIS IS BIG NEWS ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND WHERE A TON OF HAVE THESE WORKERS WALKING OFF THE JOB AT TWO DOZEN HOTELS AND SOME OF THE BIGGEST CITIES IN AMERICA, AND THEY ARE PART OF THE UNION WAS 250,000 MEMBERS NATIONWIDE. THIS MORNING AT LEAST 10,000 WORKERS AT HOTELS NATIONWIDE HAVE WALKED OFF THE JOB AS CONTRACT TALKS STALL BETWEEN TOP HOTEL CHAINS AND THE WORKERS UNION. >> I'VE BEEN HERE 44 YEARS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ON STRIKE. >> IN EIGHT CITIES FROM BOSTON TO SAN FRANCISCO, WORKERS FROM DESK STAFF TO HOUSEKEEPERS ARE STRIKING AT HYATT, HILTON, MARRIOTT, AND OMNI, DEMANDING A SHARE IN WHAT THEY SAY ARE RECORD PROFITS. THEY ALSO WANT BETTER HEALTH CARE AND A REVERSAL OF STAFFING CUTS MADE DURING THE PANDEMIC, INCLUDING THE RESTORATION OF AUTOMATIC DAILY ROOM CLEANING, WHICH WAS SCALED BACK DURING COVID. >> THE STRIKE RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT BETTER LIVING WAGES FOR HOTEL WORKERS, BETTER HEALTH INSURANCE, BETTER PENSION. >> AND MORE WORKERS COULD JOIN IN THE COMING DAYS. THE STRIKE IS EXPECTED TO LAST 2-3 DAYS IN EACH CITY. >> WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST LIVING CHECK TO CHECK. WE ARE ASKING FOR A $10 RAISE, AND EVEN WITH THAT $10 RAISE THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS, BY INFLATION NUMBERS, WE WOULD STILL BE CONSIDERED POOR AS A HOTEL WORKER. >> AND MULTIPLE HOTEL REPRESENTATIVES DO SAY THEY ARE STILL WILLING TO NEGOTIATE, BUT THE UNION SAYS STRIKES HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED AND SEVERAL OTHER Ricky Pearsall recovering after shooting over the weekend CITIES AND IT'S POSSIBLE MORE WORKERS COULD WALK OFF THE JOB AT ANY TIME. >> THANK YOU, TREVOR. WE TURN OUT TO THE SAN FRANCISCO 49ers ROOKIE SHOT IN THE CHEST DURING AN ALLEGED ROBBERY ATTEMPT. RICKY PEARSALL HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL, AND A 17-YEAR-OLD SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY. MELISSA ADAN IS IN SAN FRANCISCO WITH MORE. GOOD MORNING, MELISSA. >> GOOD MORNING, REBECCA. ALL OF THIS STEMMING FROM THIS ALLEGED BOTCHED ROBBERY THAT LEFT THE NFL RICKY WITH A GUNSHOT WOUND TO HIS CHEST, AND THIS HAPPENING IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. BUT NOW IT IS RAISING NEW QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS FOR THIS MAJOR AMERICAN CITY. >> THIS MORNING, 49ers NFL ROOKIE RICKY PEARSALL RESTING AT HOME AFTER SPENDING NEARLY 24 HOURS IN THE HOSPITAL. HE WAS SHOT IN THE CHEST DURING AN ATTEMPTED ROBBERY IN DOWNTOWN SAN FRANCISCO, ACCORDING TO POLICE. >> THIS IS AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION, SO WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO. >> IT HAPPENED SATURDAY AFTER PEARSALL HAD BEEN SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS BEFORE HEADING DOWNTOWN. POLICE SAY PEARSALL, WHO IS CARRYING SHOPPING BAGS, WAS FOLLOWED BY A SUSPECT WHO CONFRONTED HIM WITH A GUN. >> A STRUGGLE BETWEEN MR. PEARSALL AND THE SUSPECT AND SEATED, AND THE SUSPECT'S GUN STRUCK BOTH MR. PEARSALL AND THE SUBJECT. >> THE 23-YEAR-OLD WAS SHOT IN THE CHEST AND WAS SEEN GETTING INTO A NEARBY AMBULANCE WITH BLOOD, BUT CONSCIOUS. >> ANY TIME THERE IS GUN VIOLENCE, WHICH TRAGICALLY EXISTS ALL AROUND THIS COUNTRY, IT IS A PROBLEM FOR ANY CITY, AND OUR GOAL IS TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE THE INVESTMENTS IN OUR DEPARTMENT AND TO RESPOND TO THESE KINDS OF THINGS AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. >> IN A SOCIAL MEDIA POST, PEARSALL'S MOTHER, ERIN, SAID THE BULLET WENT IN HER SON'S CHEST AND OUT HIS BACK, MISSING VITAL ORGANS. AUTHORITIES SAY THEY BELIEVE THE FOOTBALL PLAYER WAS TARGETED BECAUSE HE WAS WEARING A HIGH-END WATCH. THAT 17-YEAR-OLD SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY, AND WE ARE ANTICIPATING CHARGES TO BE FILED IN THE COMING DAYS. IN FACT, THE SAN FRANCISCO D.A. SAYS SHE PLANS TO PROSECUTE THE TEEN AS A JUVENILE. HOWEVER, IS A THEY REVIEWED EVIDENCE, LOOK AT KEY Highlighting the game overnight between LSU and USC SURVEILLANCE VIDEO, HE COULD POSSIBLY BE TRIED AS AN ADULT. MICHAEL? >> WE ARE GOING TO TURN NOW TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND A THRILLING START OF THE SEASON FOR TWO OF THE NATION'S BIGGEST PROGRAMS. LSU AND USC. IKE EJIOCHI IS HERE WITH THE HIGHLIGHTS. I TURNED IT OFF AT THE HALF BECAUSE I HAD TO GO TO BED, BUT TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED. >> MICHAEL, THIS WAS A VERY SPECIAL GAME FOR A BUNCH OF REASONS. FIRST OF ALL, YES HE IS NOW IN THE BIG TEN. THE BEVY OF BRANDY FACES ALL OVER THE FIELD, OR MAYBE FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THESE TWO TEAMS HAVEN'T PLAYED EACH OTHER SINCE REAGAN WAS PRESIDENT BACK IN '84. THE TROJANS TAKING ON THE TIGRIS, BOTH BEGINNING THE YEAR REPLACING THERE HAS BEEN WINNING QUARTERBACKS, CALEB WILLIAMS AND JAYDEN DANIELS NOW IN THE NFL. IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR EXPLICIT ACTIONS. ABOUT 3.5 MINUTES INTO THE SECOND QUARTER, KYRON HUDSON WITH A RIDICULOUS ONE-HANDED GRAB, COVERED LIKE A SNEEZING MOUTH, SO MAKING THE CATCH, LEADING TO A TOUCHDOWN. FAST-FORWARD TO THE FOURTH QUARTER, USA DOWN DOWN 13-17. QUARTERBACK MILLER MOSS WITH A PERFECT 28-YARD STRIKE. FOR THE TOUCHDOWN, PUTTING THE TROJANS UP 20-17. USC EVENTUALLY GO ON TO ENACT THIS GAME WITH A 13-YARD WINNING TOUCHDOWN RUN IN THE FINAL SECONDS FOR A 27-20 WIN OVER LSU. SOME OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEEDS FOR THE WEEKEND, NOTRE DAME WITH A GREEDY WIN OVER TEXAS A&M, AND THE REIGNING CHAMPS, GEORGIA, DESTROYING CLEMSON 34-3. >> THAT LOOKED TIGHT AT THE BEGINNING AND IT RAN AWAY PREETI SAID THEY HAVEN'T PLAYED SINCE 1984. I REMEMBER THAT GAME. YOU ARE LIKE, "I WASN'T EVEN BORN." [LAUGHTER] WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT! I SAW SOMETHING AND I SAID, OKAY, TALK ABOUT CATCHES OF THE YEAR COME OF THIS CATCH YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HAS TO BE A CANDIDATE. SPEAK OF THIS WAS RIDICULOUS TO SAY THE LEAST. YOU MAY HAVE MISSED IT BECAUSE HE WAS GOING ON BETWEEN THE UTAH STATE AND ROBERT MORRIS MATCH, RIGHT AT THE SAME TIME AS TEXAS A&M AND NOTRE DAME, BUT LOOK AT THIS INTERCEPTION. THIS WAS NOTHING SHORT OF SENSATIONAL. GRABBING THE BALL OVER HIS HEAD WITH ONE HAND, ALL WHILE DOING A 360 VERTICAL SPIN TO THE GROUND. CALL BARNUM & BAILEY'S BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE THEY WANT TO TALK TO HIM. >> YOU'VE GOT MY VOTE. UNBELIEVABLE BODY CONTROL. THAT'S AMAZING. >> I'M BREAKING A SPINE IF I TRY TO DO THAT, TO BE HONEST. [LAUGHTER] >> THANK YOU, IKE.
