of the biden administration's harshest public criticism yet against israel's month-long operation. nbc correspondent richard engel joins us now. he's in jerusalem. richard, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, hoda. the geography here is important and revealing. since this war began about seven months ago, israel has been fighting from the north to the south, clearing cities like gaza city, which is in the north and then moving on to other cities, fighting hamas as it goes. ultimately ending up in rafah, which is in the deep south. but now fighting has once again returned to the north, to gaza city. and in many ways, it is akin to what u.s. troops found themselves facing many years ago in iraq. back then they described it as whack a mole, fighting an enemy one place, only to see them turn up somewhere else. israel is fighting hamas once again this morning in northern gaza, where the militants have regrouped.

secretary blinken this weekend offering increasingly public american criticism, suggesting israel has no exit strategy from gaza. >> israel is on the trajectory potentially to inherit an insurgency with many armed hamas left or if it leaves anarchy probably refueled by hamas. >> reporter: israel's main focus is still on rafah in southern gaza. israel is ordering civilians to leave the city, packed with 1.4 million people, most of them displaced from other parts of gaza. israeli troops have not moved into the center of rafah, but appear to be laying the ground work for a major assault, bombing heavily and destroying infrastructure. amal harazadine tells us she can't move again with her five children. they walked to rafah from the north and live in this tent. my kids will die.

they will be victims, she says. in israel, many families of the 132 hostages still in gaza are increasingly despondent, too. on mother's day, i spoke to rachel goldberg-polin. her son, an american, was kidnapped and lost his hand during the massacre. a hamas video this month showed he's still alive, or at least was recently. hostage negotiations have stalled. >> are you -- are you on this emotional roller coaster every day? >> i am commanding myself every day to stay hopeful. so i don't go plummeting, and i don't go super high falsely. so the same way you don't count your chickens before they hatch, we don't count our hostages until we're hugging them. >> reporter: today is memorial day in israel, when the country commemorates its fallen troops. and prime minister netanyahu

said israel is now in a war for its survival, that it's israel's existence or hamas. hoda. >> richard engel in jerusalem, richard, thank you. today marks a pivotal point in former president trump's hush money trial here. his former fixer and attorney michael cohen set to take the stand, offering an insider view at the payments at the center of the prosecution's case. nbc's senior legal correspondent laura jarrett is here with details. laura, good morning. >> good morning to you. for years, michael cohen had been mr. trump's attack dog. in front of the camera and of course behind the scenes. but that all fell apart once cohen came under federal investigation. this jury has already read his text messages, heard his voice on tape. but now they will be the ultimate judge of his credibility on the witness stand. he once said he would take a bullet for the former president, but this morning michael cohen takes the stand as a key witness for the state in donald trump's criminal trial. the dramatic face-off between mr. trump and his former fixer a pivotal moment as prosecutors

wind down their case. the jury has seen evidence it was cohen who bought the silence of stormy daniels days before the 2016 election as cohen admitted years later in a stunning moment before congress. >> mr. trump directed me to use my own personal funds to avoid any money being traced back to him that could negatively impact his campaign. >> reporter: and jurors have seen the invoices and checks documenting how mr. trump paid cohen back, calling his repayments legal expenses, a disguise according to prosecutors and cohen's lawyers to cover up the hush money scheme, which mr. trump denies. >> i know that the corroboration and the detail backing up michael is what people don't recognize. it wasn't legal fees. mr. trump knew there were no legal services. >> reporter: but cohen's baggage is well documented. his prior convictions for campaign finance violations and lying to congress likely just one part of what will

undoubtedly be a grueling cross examination as the defense team argues he's a scorned man that makes a living off tearing down his old boss. even the judge directing prosecutors to warn cohen to stop talking about mr. trump from now on. the presumptive gop nominee moving from the trial to the trail over the weekend. >> i've come here from new york. >> reporter: drawing huge crowds in neighboring new jersey, which overwhelming ly went for biden in 2020. >> i have been indicted more than the great al capone. i got indicted more than him. on [ bleep ] . >> reporter: mr. trump pivoting to his favorite campaign topics, including immigration, invoking another famous criminal. >> "silence of the lamb." has anyone seen it? the late great hannibal lecter is a wonderful man. he oftentimes would have a friend for dinner.

>> the former president went on to levy his usual attacks against the district attorney, but made no mention here of michael cohen. mr. trump is still under a gag order that bars him from attacking witnesses and has paid $10,000 for his violations so far. >> the case may rise and fall on this witness, laura. let's talk about another case, senator menendez. the trial starting today. >> near blocks away from where trump is. this is the second time the senator has faced bribery allegations. he has pled not guilty and denies all wrongdoing, but this will be different from the last go-around because this time prosecutors have not only a cooperator, but they also charged his wife, which amps up the pressure to point fingers. his defense team is suggesting he didn't know anything about it and sort of laying the blame at the feet of his wife. jury selection begins today. we'll see where that one goes. >> the former president on trial, a senator on trial. laura, you're busy. let's go to a day without child care.

day cares and schools are preschools all across the country are closing their doors today as providers and parents join agent to demand for affordable child care for all families. senior business correspondent christine romans is here with that story. hey, christine. good morning. >> good morning to you. many parents feel like they're being priced out of day care. at the same time providers are struggling with low pay, high turnover, high costs there. it adds up to a crisis brewing in child care. >> what do we want? >> child care! >> when do we want it? >> now! >> reporter: this morning across the country thousands of parents and child care providers are calling out of work or closing their doors for national day without child care. pressing lawmakers for affordable child care, including an expanded child tax credit and better pay for educators. the cost of care has skyrocketed. according to bank of america, child care payments have soared 32% since 2019. child care the second biggest expense for working families

after rent or mortgage. care.com says the typical family spends nearly a quarter of its income on child care. last year 20% of parents reported shelling out at least $3,000 a month or $36,000 a year. that's much more than the average in state college tuition which runs just over $24,000 a year. kora is a single mother who is only able to afford care through a subsidized scholarship. >> there are a lot of people that are in worse spots than i am. they might be forced to put their child in hands that are not qualified. >> today, she is taking a day off from her job to support to support the walkout at t.j.'s school, part of a national day without child care, organized by the group, change action in 15 statings. >> our teachers make anywhere from minimum wage to $20 an hour. >> reporter: christine is an enrollment coordinator at an early learning center in mount

sinai new york where tuition can run up to $2,000 a month. christine says parents are strapped by rising tuition and educators face low pay and high turnover. >> parents need care for their children, but if they band with us, it will help them and their teachers as well. >> unlike the k through 12 school system, for most families, day care is largely left up to parents and child care in your local communities. teacher turnover is high. there are long wait lists at many centers and emergency covid funding used to boost wages is starting to run out. instant child care can run up to $15,000 a year in some places. paper is a strong economy? this is one of the number one things t which is impossible math for some families. i have been traveling to swing states and asking people, what concerns you? what's happening in your world? why don't you feel what's on paper is a strong economy. this is one of the number one things they tell me about. >> it's a huge part of someone's salary. >> absolutely. it affects their ability to

work. you can't work if you don't have quality child care. it takes up so much of the paycheck. >> thank you, christine. >> we have craig here this morning. >> savannah, hoda, good morning. good morning to you as well, folks. the unofficial start of summer just around the corner, and travel for memorial day, memorial day travel could break records. aaa predicting 44 million americans will be driving or flying over the holiday weekend with the airports bracing for a big spike in travelers. nbc's brian cheung is at reagan national airport for us this morning. brian, first of all, good morning to you. walk us through how busy those airports are expected to be this memorial day weekend. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, guys. again that $43.8 million figure by the way, that could be the largest that aaa as seen in over 20 years. at airports just like this one, washington national, the expectation is for 3.51 million americans to hit the skies for that weekend. that would be a 4% increase, nearly 5% increase from last year.

we are back with two remarkable women and super moms, laura jarett and poppy harlow, who you probably know and certainly love them from television. now they're combining forces and taking their talents to the page. they have a new children's book called "the color of love." it is right here. it is gorgeous and colorful. good morning, ladies. >> hi! >> this is a dream interview.ri. it is two of my favorite people right. >> right on the couch. >> it's funny because i know laura separately. i know poppy separately. then i find out you guys are dear, dear friends and made a book together. how did this come out? >> in the middle of covid. >> it is our covid baby. no more real babies for us. >> oh, gosh no. >> so covid baby. we were in the office every day during covid doing the show, and it was pretty much just the anchors and the producers. we decided to collaborate on this together. it was at a tough moment for the country. so much of what we cover on the news is not positive. we thought, how can we come together and share this message

of love and inclusion? and i didn't want to do it alone. i wanted to do this with laura. >> and we were friends before.t >> we will either be best friends for life or -- >> yeah. it brought us so much closer in a way. i'm so lucky to have done this with a friend. it just made the whole experience so much better. >> and the message is beautiful. it is called "the color of love." for little kids, that could but i say it's like if little k could be red, pink, purple, blue, green, and it's all about this. and the hearts, the patch work of love. there we see it right there how it all comes together again. >> there are so many books celebrating diversity and inclusion. i think part of what we wanted to do was to have the children narrate what they were seeing and narrate the reasons why you can find "the color of love" into all different ways instead of having adults talk to them about it. >> one of the things i loved

seeing were the cameos by sienna, luca, james and june. they are all in the book. >> those are your four kids. >> june, who is the new baby, got in under the wire. she wasn't in the original draft. you didn't even have her yet. >> she was not even a glimmer in my eye. >> at the end you will see photos of us with the hearts. the hearts in the book our children cut out ourselves in laura's living room. we made a mess on the floor. june was born, so we had to re-take the photos at the end of the book. i will just say working together with someone is such a gift. also in the middle of this, both you and laura were helping consult me on whether to go to law school or not. as laura and i are writing between pages, i'm like, so how hard is it? just tell me. should i go? but we really learned to jump in when the other was really busy or stressed out. if i was in exams, laura was like, i got this. i'll get it to the publisher. now she's like trial, trial, trial all the time. i'm like, i got this. i'll get it to the publisher. >> it is wonderful to do a project like that together. you did. you went to law school while an

anchor at cnn. you, of course, are a lawyer. so did we both tell poppy, yes, we should do it? >> i may have tried to talk her out of it. anybody who knows her knows you can't talk to her out of everything. she is so determined and dedicated and brilliant, and i'm so glad you did it. >> i'm glad that i did it too. thank you, guys, both for the encouragement. but it's been a gift to do this and take this journey together and learn from one another. if you are thinking about writing a kids book, think about doing it with someone. >> it is fun to bounce off those ideas. the reviews are in from your kids, at least. >> james has a lot of thoughts. mostly because there is a child named james, he has to point out how he's different from that one. there it is. we were reading it last night. he has notes. this is why i didn't let james read it because i knew he would have a lot of feedback. >> when the books arrived at our house a couple weeks ago, luca

you get this big box of books to give your friends, and luca opens it and he's so disappointed. mom, he's like, they're all the same. why didn't you write 24 different books. >> sorry, luca. >> that is so classic. >> they're identical. please, you'll impress me when you come with 24 different looks. >> sorry, luca. >> that is classic. they're identical. please, you will impress me when you come with 24 different books. i'm so happy for both of you. i'm so happy that two of my favorite people are each other's favorite people, this is amazing. "the color of love" is out tomorrow. if you can pick out a copy and meet laura and poppy, there is a special book shining here. when is that, today? >> tomorrow. >> tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. come and join us. hoda, over to you. >> sg, thank you. i am here with the woman that needs no introduction, angelina jolie, the producer of one of broadway's hottest shows. it's called "the outsiders," the cast is abou

the citi concert series on "today" is proudly presented to you by citi. >> let's go! we're back. we're kicking off our best of broadway week. it is an annual tradition around here, and we love it. and it is a chance to showcase new musicals. here we're starting with "the outsiders." of course the iconic model and a film and it is now being reimagined as a ground-breaking broadway show. can i just repeat this a couple of times? it received 12 tony nominations. yes! all right. [ applause ] >> yes! the story is set back in the '60s in tulsa, oklahoma where pony boy curtis and his brothers and friends are trying to navigate their place in the world. we're going to hear the performance from the cast in just a minute, but first, let's catch up with three of the show's tony nominees. we have brody grant. we've got sky, lakoda lynch. we have joshua boone.

>> let's go! let's go! >> along with this -- along with the lovely woman in the middle here, their producer, oscar winner angelina jolie. >> yeah! >> okay. first of all, this is wild. the energy is electric. when you first heard the news, angelina, about the 12 tony nominations, what went through you? >> it was my -- i woke up. my daughter was sitting on my bed, and she told me. and i was -- you know what, i love this group so much, and i'm so proud of the work they have done. i'm in awe of all of them. just when -- awarding don't always say. when something is not nominated, it can be the most wonderful piece. but when people do get recognized, it means a great deal. >> when you walked out here to see this cast, you were surrounded by hugs. it showed me immediately this isn't a project. it is a passion project.

you mentioned your daughter vivienne, she's who is here today, too she's working along with the cast. but she turned you on to this. tell us how this came to be. >> she did. but i think that's safe to say for anybody watching and anybody that will say this and what they brought forward, this is about family. the same reason it responded to her, the same reason she wanted me next to her when she watched it, and the same reason we all hugged when i came out here is because this is about family and it is about community, and it -- and i think when anybody comes to see this, it doesn't stay away from the darker sides of life and a lot we have to discuss and a lot we're feeling. in the end, it's what gets us through, and that is family. so, yeah. she was the first. >> this is a family, by the way, without question. i want to talk to you guys. first of all, let me point out. brody, sky and joshua, all nominated for tonys. can you tell me what it felt like when you heard this? >> my mom woke me up face-time call. i was asleep. she's a 1st grade teacher in

georgia. she was with her platoon of 1st grade teachers in her hallway. she was like, did you watch the thing? i was like, no. i thought it aired later. she was like, well, you got nominated. i would not trade that for the world. the news with family. >> what's your mom's name? >> cindy. >> all right, cindy. you did good. let's move on. sky, what did it feel like when you got the news? >> it was surreal. i couldn't believe it. i re-read the list six times. i was like, wait, is that the right sky? it is the right sky. >> let's hear it for the right sky! [ applause ] >> all right. joshua, this had to have been an incredible moment for you. >> definitely. i slept in. i had my phone off, cut it on in the afternoon, got my day started and when i cut it on, it literally exploded. it is a blessing showing up. >> well, there is a reason this show is getting all this tony love, because it is an incredible show. what are you guys going to be

performing for us today? >> we got a little bit of, what, great expectations. >> we got great expectations coming your way. >> and throwing in the towel. my favorite, baby! >> all right. >> are you ready? >> let's get it. yeah, we ready. >> take it away! ♪ pony boy i think it's time to learn ♪ ♪ that grease isn't given it's something you earn ♪ ♪ some of us are smooth like james dean ♪ ♪ ain't no way a boy can make it out on the street ♪ ♪ unless you're mean as a fire and sharp as a blade ♪ ♪ play it cool little brother and you'll have it made ♪
