>> i think they have great protocols until they turn out not to be so great because someone doesn't follow them perfectly. >> reporter: the use of computer-generated special effects has been suggested as a substitute eaton says it's just not the same. >> the compression of a real weapon affects the atmosphere and the set and the actor's reaction and of course the lighting of the flash itself is very hard to duplicate. >> reporter: the councilmember argues movies make believe anyway, why should the guns be real >> i think it's absolutely possible to do this seamlessly >> that los angeles city council member is in support of statewide legislation and is calling for a similar ordinance to be adopted in the city. the governor of new mexico is asking the movie industry to review its safety standards or she says the state will come up with its own mandates. >> we do know technology exists that never existed like this before. >> in some cases they say it's actually cheaper >> valerie, thanks valerie castro tonight.

place. specifically why was yesterday the district attorney in albany county was surprised that the former governor of the state of new york was charged in a sex crimes related case. so today we got more clarity on that from the albany county sheriff, craig apple sr., who said they went to the city court to present the evidence that he says they have gathered so far, the probable cause in this case, and it was at that time that a city judge approved a criminal summons and put a date on the calendar for the governor to have to show up in court he said he found out about this on the internet and did not have enough time to confer with the district attorney's office, to even confer with the governor's attorneys to let them know what's coming up speaking of the governor's attorney, the governor's attorneys and his spokesperson really went after the sheriff today. the sheriff defended his actions and responded to them. let's take a listen. >> this is my job. i'd rather they throw it at me rather than revictimize the victims over and over and over i've been doing this a long

when asked if the president still has confidence in kurt campbell, the chief negotiator for the deal who leads indo-pacific strategy. the united states has one more olive branch to extend toward europe and that's removing tariffs on imported steel and aluminum put in place by former president trump. negotiators are hoping to announce that agreement by a deadline they set for monday. >> kayla, the president also met with the pope today. there's a lot of talk about how their talk went. >> reporter: well, the two heads of state are friends they have a regular correspondence but today's meeting was just the second time a catholic president has had an audience with the pope today's hour and 15 minute conversation covered poverty, climate change, covid and current affairs, notably president biden has been at the center of a debate over whether pro choice parishioners should be receiving communion, a position taken by the u.s. conference of catholic bishops biden would not reveal the pope's position on the bishops and said they did not discuss abortion specifically, but the

pope did say he should continue to receive communion and that he is a, quote, good catholic. >> kayla, the president also heading into climate talks with no deal here at home how's he going to navigate that? >> reporter: kelly, the framework the white house announced thursday does include about half a trillion dollars in tax credits for residential and commercial clean energy initiatives, electric vehicles, solar manufacturing, and a few other line items the biggest green policy change a program rewarding utilities for lower emissions. that ended up getting cut out as part of the compromise the white house says global partners should focus on what the entire federal government is trying to achieve on climate president biden told lawmakers to vote for the package because american prestige is on the line and now biden is going to have to deal with the other side of that proclamation, kelly. >> kayla tausche for us tonight. kayla, thanks. as mentioned, president biden is scheduled to travel to

glasgow is the financial sector stepping up clearly and saying, look, we are part of the solution, we're not part of the problem. >> reporter: the primary goals of cop26 are to secure global net zero by 2050 and limit warming to 1.5 degrees celsius countries are being asked to submit 2030 emissions reductions targets include phasing out coal, investing in renewables, switching to electric vehicles and reducing deforestation to adapt to protect communities and natural habitats design fences and warning systems and upgrate to more resilient infrastructure to protect and restore ecosystems and finance, mobilizing at least $100 billion per year from public and private sector institutions to secure global net zero. significant announcements are

expected from large financial institutions toward this goal. >> but we are late and let's be honest, some of the developing countries are struggling and they are rightly struggling because they don't have the means to be aligned with net zero so i think it's a responsibility from the countries to do so. >> reporter: as of now, 148 countries, that is 75% of paris agreement signatories, accounting for 80% of global emissions, have submitted a new or updated ndc more than 200 u.s. companies are pledging to get to net zero by 2040, ten years sooner than the paris agreement. a new u.n. report out this week found that national pledges and other climate change mitigation measures put the planet on a 2.7 degree celsiuswise, may more than the paris agreement goal.

call it a toss-up. former president trump is planning to hold a telerally for youngkin on monday the night before the election. joining us now is the director of the center for public policy and school of government and public affairs a lot of analysts are calling this race a bellwether ahead of the midterms, sir. is that how you see it >> i think it's really important for the country to take a look at what's happening in virginia largely because what we're seeing in these polls is that as president biden's numbers decline with independents in particular, terry mcauliffe's numbers have gone down as well and given glenn youngkin a serious chance to win this race. >> let's talk about voter enthusiasm which party has the momentum and maybe has the edge right now >> well, it's hard to say precisely. but if you take a look at the polls which are almost all even with the one exception of a fox poll last night that had glenn youngkin up by eight, they're

even polls but the trend line over the last three or four weeks, the trend line has been toward youngkin. mcauliffe had a four-point lead and a three-point lead in a lot of these polls now it's down to two and one so i think the republicans are gaining confidence while the democrats are chewing antacid tablets here in virginia. >> how much do you factor what's happening at the virginia level and the president and his spending and infrastructure bills. >> i think it's been the largest problem, the biggest problem that terry mcauliffe has faced what's happened is that for the past four years, democrats did extraordinarily well in virginia when donald trump was the president, was on twitter every day. and now the democrats are running everything they have the house, the senate, the presidency, and still not enough is getting done that is certainly not only drawing biden's numbers down but having a very serious impact here in virginia. >> and how much of a factor is

school choice? and how much might that swing momentum one way or the other in terms of turnout >> glenn youngkin has been making this argument that terry mcauliffe has sided with big government over parents and made parents madder, a theme of his campaign what he's trying to do is to find some way of uniting the trump base with suburbanites who supported joe biden to get enough defections there to be able to win. if he's able to solve that puzzle or that conundrum which no republican has been able to solve recently in states like virginia, that will be seen as a model. >> and what about the reported plan for former president trump to hold this telerally monday night. will that help or hurt youngkin? >> that's an open question in some ways the early vote in some of the rural areas where youngkin should be really strong have been relatively light and that could help. at the same time, donald trump is not popular in virginia

his message of draining the swamp in washington was seen almost as a direct assault on the most populous area of our state, the northern virginia suburbs right outside of d.c. >> vcu's bob holsworth, thanks. one of the president trump's critics in congress says he will not seek re-election adam kinsinger making the announcement today he's one of two house republicans on the january 6th committee. in a video posted to twitter, congressman kinsinger said he decided it's time to move on. >> in congress i've witnessed how division is heavily rooted there's little to no desire to bridge our differences and unity is no longer a word we use it's also become increasingly obvious to me that in order to break the narrative, i cannot focus on both a re-election to congress and a broader fight nation wide. >> congressman kinsinger did

for every 100 people poorer nations have administered just 4 doses meg tirrell covers health and science for us meg, could we expect some catch-up or could the gap get wider? >> remember last year the world health organization and others created covax to ensure equitable distribution of vaccines but it's shown woefully short of its supply goals. the effort has raised more money than it set out to but hasn't been able to secure enough vaccine. as of last month it was 1.7 billion doses short of its goal of delivering 2 billion by the end of the year. as wealthy nations bought up supply, manufacturing setbacks reduced output some countries like india blocked exports among their own covid surges even as calls mounting for more delivery of doses themselves, there's been an increasing focus on the need to help administer them we spoke with the person who leads the covid response at

usaid. >> in the next i would say three months or so, as vaccine volumes continue to grow and vaccine availability continues to improve, we'll see that become the limiting factor in more and more countries. >> so it's hard to picture now, but forecasts actually suggest vaccine supply to covax will grow significantly over the coming months, so much that moderna's said the u.s. may find itself in the same situation in the spring, from too much supply to too much to administer. andy slavitt has suggested deploying troops from afghanistan to places like haiti and africa to help with vaccine administration konyndyk said countries need different things some to help pay vaccinators, others logistics support and hesitancy is an issue too. most helpful would be a steady supply of vaccines he and others note it's not just

being a good global citizen to help vaccinating more people around the world will also reduce the risk of new variants that could prolong the pandemic >> that's a great point, meg thank you so much. our meg tirrell tonight. more than a thousand families are still separated after being split up at the southern u.s. boarder in 2017 and 2018 the new plan from the biden administration that could involve paying them millions of dollars. but how would it work and who is eligible plus the most used vehicle in the military is also the one that is crashed the most now experts are pitching an upgraded safety system they say could save lives

a third nhl executive has now resigned over his involvement in the chicago blackhawks sexual assault scandal. joel quinnville stepping down as coach of the florida panthers. he was one of seven then blackhawks who officials learned in a 2010 meeting had heard a player accuse a coach of sexual assault. we now know that player was kyle

beach. he was called up from the minors for the playoffs in 2010, but an investigation found that none of the executives acted on his allegations for three weeks. quinnville out after meeting with the nhl commissioner yesterday. the blackhawks general manager and senior vice president of hockey operations resigned on tuesday, immediately after the investigation was published. the then president, executive vice president and mental skills coach had already left the team. the last man standing from that 2010 meeting, winnipeg jets gm, who was the blackhawks assistant gm at that time. he met with the nhl commissioner today, but the league said it found he was not responsible for the improper decisions made and won't be disciplined the families of victims from the surfside condo collapse in florida are calling for one more search of the rubble for human remains. mountains of debris have been sitting in a lot after search crews cleared the site months ago. miami-dade county officials are

seeking permission from a judge to finally dispose of it all, but families who received only partial remains of their loved ones are asking them to look through the rubble again a spokeswoman for the county tells "the washington post" they are considering it the condo tower collapse in june killed 98 people. and the biden administration may soon be paying millions of dollars to migrant families separated at the border. nbc news reporting it's part of negotiations between the justice department and the families' lawyers who they say were harmed by the trump administration policy a negotiation that former vice president pence today said was totally unacceptable in 2017 and 2018, more than 5,600 children were separated from their parents the white house estimates more than 1,000 families are still separated today and a task force set up by the biden administration has reunited just 52 of them nbc's jacob soboroff now on how this program would work and how much money families would receive. >> reporter: kelly, at this stage there are more questions than answers and sources caution

that so many of those final details, whether how the program will work or how much money will be paid are yet to be determined this is an ongoing settlement negotiation between the u.s. government and lawyers representing those families who were separated over 5,600 of them by the trump administration in what, remember, physicians for human rights, a nobel laureate organization and nonprofit deemed torture and met the u.n.'s definition as well as the american academy of pediatrics who called this government sanctioned child abuse at the time so when you hear from the former vice president today criticizing the potential settlement, you have to keep all of this in context. but what we are hearing and sources have told nbc news is that the sum could be significant, it could be hundreds of thousands of dollars each, which of course could amount to hundreds of millions of dollars if all of the families who were separated by this policy are included it's also important to note that this is separate and distinct from the reunification effort

that's under way and being led by the biden administration through that family separation reunification task force this is a civil case, a tort case being brought against the u.s. government for damages that these families endured as they were separated, oftentimes for many, many months. some still, a thousand of those families remain separated to this day around 300 families have yet to be located by those searching for them and it's part of why all of this is still so challenging and a developing situation. kelly. >> jacob soboroff tonight, thanks. military humvees are the most common military vehicle according to a government report, they're involved in more accidents than any other tactical vehicle as a result, advocates are pushing for new technology to protect service members inside here's nbc news investigative and consumer correspondent, vicki y nguyen. >> reporter: 10,000 pounds of metal traveling at just 25 miles
