wildfire burning dangerously close to yosemite national park. the governor on saturday declaring a state of emergency for oak fire that started and friday, forcing thousands to leave their homes. the world health organization on saturday declared monkeypox a global health emergency. but how concerned should we be here in the united states? nbc's kathy park is in new york city. good morning. >> reporter: willie, good morning to you. the last time the w.h.o. issued this time of alert was in 2020 in response to covid-19. this time it's for monkeypox. here in new york city alone, the cases have climbed to 830, and health officials worry that number will grow. this morning, the world health organization activating its highest alert level yet for monkeypox. >> the global monkeypox outbreak represents a public emergency of

international concern. >> reporter: at least 16,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported in 75 countries and territories this year. here in the u.s., infections are climbing. now swelling to nearly 3,000 cases in 45 states. two children have been diagnosed with the virus, too. according to the cdc, they likely got sick throw household transmission. >> both of those children are traced back to individuals who come from the men who have sex with men community. >> reporter: the vast majority of monkeypox are traced to gay men. the virus can spread through direct contact with a rash, face-to-face contact or touching contaminated items. should we change our behavior in any way to prevent getting monkeypox? >> if you're not vaccinated, and you're in that high risk behavior group, i would say

limiting exposure is going to be absolutely important. >> reporter: but getting vaccinated hasn't always been easy, with demand outstripping supply. in new york city friday, 17,000 vaccine appointments filled up within half an hour. >> it's been really difficult to find an appointment lately. >> reporter: 300,000 doses have been shipped to health departments across the country to address the outbreak. with another 5 million set to be delivered through the middle of next year. but in recent weeks, long lines show another health crisis is tightening its grip. and so far this year, there have been five monkeypox related deaths in africa. none here in the u.s., and health officials say those that get infected with the virus typically recover anywhere between two to four weeks, even without treatment. willie? >> kathy, thanks so much. joe biden remains in

isolated while he's being treated for covid. his doctors say he likely contracted the highly contagious ba-5 variant. peter alexander has more. peter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. nice to see you. president biden is beginning his third full day in isolation here inside the residence. the white house not sharing any new photos of him saturday. but they say he is getting better, and keeping a full schedule. >> are you feeling better? >> reporter: president biden this morning on the mend, his doctor writing after two days of paxlovid, his symptoms continue to improve. though he's still dealing with a runny nose, loose cough and body aches. friday, he had a raspy voice to show for it. >> i'm feeling much better than i sound. >> reporter: he's using an inhaler two to three times a day. his doctors say he most clikly contracted the ba-5 subvariant,

that accounts for 75% of all infections. his predecessor, former president trump, is back on the road this weekend, taking aim at the biden administration. >> and now our country is being destroyed, systematically destroyed. >> reporter: this latest appearance coming just days after that blistering primetime hearing that showcased mr. president trump's inaction on january 6th. including his refusal a full day after the riot to acknowledge the election was over. >> i don't want to say the election is over, i just want to say, congress has certified the results without saying the election is over, okay? >> reporter: his potential path to securing the 2024 gop nomination is becoming more complicated. a weekend op-ed from "the new york post," one of his preferred papers, argues mr. trump has proven himself to be unworthy to be the chief executive again. on friday, in arizona, he and mike pence headlined competing

rallies for rival republican gubernatorial candidates. with pence offering this not so subtle dig on twitter. if the republican party allows itself to become consumed by yesterday's grievances, pence says, we will lose. mr. trump's rough summer could offer an opening to florida governor ron desantis, whose polls show he has tightened the head-to-head race in 2024. one of those polls is from new hampshire. it shows desantis leading mr. trump by two points. there's a new "new york times" poll that finds the former president is weakened within his party, especially with younger and college educated republicans. nearly half of the party's primary voters, willie, wanted someone different for president in 2024. >> interesting. peter alexander, great to see you on a sunday, my friend. thanks so much. chuck todd is nbc's political director and moderator of "meet the press."

we both know this is donald trump's party, if he decides to run for president again. but we have seen some attrition in some of those polls and the rise of desantis, fascinating dynamic in arizona where mike pence is on the other side of the governor's race from donald trump. so have these january 6th hearings have an impact on donald trump within the party? >> i think what it's done is distracked donald trump, right? it's consumed him. he's consumed by january 6th. his supporters may not be watching, but he is. when he's consumed by it, he continues to talk about it. it goes to mike pence tweeting. so i do think his constant focus on the past, his constant focus on 2020, looks worse and worse to voters, and willie, there's sort of a truism in american politics, that still exists today. i mean, trump broke a lot of our political truisms, but this still exists. the candidate that looks forward is usually much preferred than

the candidate that looks backwards. and right now, donald trump is a backwards looking candidate. >> as you say, mike pence speaks for a lot of republicans who may not want to say it out loud, but they think they have a vulnerable president. chuck, thank you so much. a bunch to talk about on "meet the press." chuck will be joined by former vice president al gore, janet yellen, and democratic right now we're enjoying a cool start. 53 degrees close to san jose and drizzle and fog around san francisco. 52 currently. temperatures trending from the 50s this morning to 70s inland around lunchtime and highs today around could get close to 80 degrees. 60s closer to san francisco. from here a little bit of cooling and more clouds late tomorrow and hazy skies trending

sunday focus. >> reporter: the oppressive and deadly heat trapping europe and the u.s. >> i can't handle it. >> reporter: may have cause some off guard, but not climate scientists. >> we've been predicting it for 30 years. >> reporter: this, he says, is climate change. what makes you so sure it's climate change? >> we've done the math. what we're finding is that these events are happening four times, seven times, ten times more often now than they were say 30 or 40 years ago. >> reporter: this week was one for the history books across the northern hemisphere. 104.5 degrees in the uk, the highest temperature ever recorded there. in london, that heat generated the busiest day for the city's fire service since world war ii. wildfires burning up 25 times more land in france than the same period last year. and in oklahoma, every station

joe biden wants to cut those emissions in half, but his plans for increasing electric vehicles have been thwarted by democratic senator joe manchin of west virginia and congressional republicans. many no longer denying climate change, but they're not acting either. >> i believe climate change is real, but that's no reason to destroy the fossil fuel industry in this country. >> reporter: frustrated, this week the president used his executive power. >> it is literally not figuratively a clear and present danger. >> reporter: taking a series of executive actions, including looking at potential wind farms in the gulf of mexico. but it's not enough for climate activists. are you disappointed with joe biden's leadership on climate the >> i'm very disappointed in president biden. we elected him on many campaign promises that he made to stop fossil fuel leasing was part of it. what's been unfortunate so far

is he hasn't delivered on those promises. >> is it time to give up on the idea that the united states could cut its carbon emissions by the end of the decade? >> we don't have the luxury of giving up. >> and anne joins me now. good morning. great to see you. as you say, joe biden's goals on climate change have been stymied in congress, but is there legislation that can blunt a problem building for decades? >> well, that's the goal of that legislation that included tax incentives to increase renewable energy and encourage people to buy more electric vehicles. this isn't about reversing climate change but stopping the impacts, keeping the impacts from getting worse. that's the goal here. and that's why climate activists want the president to declare a climate emergency. declaring a climate emergency, they say would allow him to do certain things, like, for example, halting crude oil

exports, and limiting the drilling of -- for oil and gas in federal waters. those are all things that could help stave off the worst impacts. but, again, this isn't about going back, it's about keeping things from getting worse. and that's what -- when you talk to climate scientists and economists, they say the only way that can happen is by both legislative action and presidential action. willie? >> and the evidence of the problem is in the temperatures just outside our doors this morning. anne thompson, thanks so much. coming up next, a sunday sitdown with oscar winner gwyneth paltrow on the new joy she found away from hollywood with goop, and why she says she does not miss acting. a life well lived. an american hero of world war ii, who treated thousands of the wounded during the bloodiest battle of the war.
