1:57 1:59 government pinning any kind of a pause
1:59 2:02 to the release of hostages held by Hamas
2:02 2:05 but the unsettling images of Civilian
2:05 2:08 casualties and damaged hospitals in Gaza
2:08 2:10 continue to drive widespread
2:10 2:13 condemnation of Israel's Siege in its

2:50 2:52 telling him the US supports Israel's
2:52 2:54 mission to topple Hamas after the
2:54 2:56 October 7th terror attack that killed
2:56 3:00 1,400 Israelis it is striking
3:00 3:02 and in some ways
3:02 3:05 shocking that the brutality of the
3:05 3:08 slaughter has receded so quickly in the
3:08 3:09 memories of so
3:09 3:12 many but not in Israel and not in
3:12 3:15 America but also saying the US supports
3:15 3:17 a humanitarian pause to try to get more
3:17 3:20 Aid into Gaza and get hostages held by
3:20 3:22 Hamas out each of these efforts would be
3:22 3:25 facilitated by humanitarian pauses but
3:25 3:28 just minutes later Netanyahu saying no
3:28 3:30 pause in the fighting until Hamas first
3:30 3:33 releases its 240 hostages I made it
3:33 3:35 clear we're going full steam ahead he

4:11 4:13 and four other children are missing
4:13 4:16 under the wreckage Israel's military did

4:20 4:22 ambulance near the alifa hospital
4:22 4:23 tonight saying it was being used by a
4:23 4:26 terror cell Israel has previously

4:46 4:48 are among the hostages being held by
4:48 4:50 Hamas and now US aircraft are reported
4:50 4:53 to be involved in the
4:53 4:55 search that's right Lester the Pentagon
4:55 4:56 saying today that American
4:56 4:59 reconnaissance drones are flying over
4:59 5:00 Gaza as part of the search for the
5:00 5:02 hostages but the US says these drones
5:02 5:04 are not armed and they're not taking
5:04 5:06 part in the strikes Lester rap Sanchez

9:42 9:44 against one time crypto billionaire Sam
9:44 9:47 bankman freed the jury took just hours
9:47 9:50 to convict him on all seven counts
9:50 9:52 cnbc's Kate Rooney has covered the case
9:52 9:53 from the
9:53 9:56 start before he was 30 years old Sam
9:56 9:58 bankman freed was already worth an
9:58 10:01 estimated 26 billion he founded and ran
10:01 10:04 the crypto trading exchange FTX its name
10:04 10:06 splashed across a Miami sports arena
10:06 10:08 with celebrities in corporate
10:08 10:10 commercials politicians in Washington
10:10 10:13 sought his advice magazines asking if he

10:16 10:18 is a convicted felon facing a possible
10:18 10:20 lifetime in prison a jury in his federal
10:20 10:22 case taking just a few hours to convict
10:22 10:24 him on seven counts of Fraud and
10:24 10:26 conspiracy bman Freed's lawyers
10:26 10:29 indicating they will appeal my client Mr
10:29 10:33 bankman freed maintains his innocence
10:33 10:34 and we're going to continue to
10:34 10:37 vigorously fight the charges against him
10:37 10:39 but prosecutors whose case laid out how
10:39 10:41 bankman freed used customer money from
10:41 10:43 FTX to cover bad bets at his crypto
10:43 10:46 hedge fund by expense of real estate and
10:46 10:48 make political contributions called it
10:48 10:50 one of the biggest Financial frauds in
10:50 10:52 US history the cryptocurrency industry
10:52 10:55 might be new the players like Sam
10:55 10:56 bankman freed might be
10:56 10:59 new but this kind of fraud this kind of
10:59 11:02 kind of corruption is as old as time the
11:02 11:03 collapse of FTX and the downfall of
11:03 11:06 bankman freed now putting renewed focus
11:06 11:08 on congress's efforts to regulate the
11:08 11:10 crypto sector they've been unable to do
11:10 11:12 it and part of the reason for that is
11:12 11:13 because Congress can't even agree on
11:13 11:16 what cryptocurrency is let alone on how
11:16 11:18 to regulate it in the week ahead of ftxs
11:18 11:20 bankruptcy customers rushed to withdraw
11:20 11:22 their money the company didn't have it
11:22 11:24 and soon there was what amounted to a
11:24 11:26 run on the bank Jake ther says he lost
11:26 11:29 more than $200,000 worth of Investments
11:29 11:32 I feel like it is Vindication of a lot
11:32 11:35 of what people and myself went through
11:35 11:37 right this wasn't something that we did
11:37 11:39 this was something that happened to us
11:39 11:40 and Kate as you reported the defense
11:40 11:42 team is likely to appeal in this case in
11:42 11:44 the meantime he has more legal troubles
11:44 11:46 that's right Lester so sentencing for
11:46 11:48 this case is expected in March but first
11:48 11:50 bankman freed is scheduled to stand
11:50 11:52 trial over another indictment this one
11:52 11:54 about campaign Finance violation he has
11:54 11:57 pleaded not guilty in that case all
11:57 11:59 right Kate Rooney thank you in 6 seconds
11:59 12:01 abortion is on the ballot this election
12:01 12:03 day how it is upending conventional
12:03 12:08 wisdom even in red States right after
12:08 12:11 this welcome back I'm Liz CS with a
12:11 12:12 breaking news update after an urgent
12:12 12:15 Manhunt in South Carolina authorities
12:15 12:17 say a suspect is now in custody
12:17 12:19 following a security Scare at a nuclear
12:19 12:21 power plant authorities had been
12:21 12:24 searching for 66-year-old doy wison hunt
12:24 12:25 after they say he rammed his car through
12:25 12:27 the gate and tried to hit security
12:27 12:29 guards before escaping
12:29 12:31 nobody was injured and tonight that
12:31 12:33 search for the suspect now over
12:33 12:36 Lester with abortion expected to be a
12:36 12:38 key issue in next year's presidential
12:38 12:41 election an early test will come Tuesday
12:41 12:43 when voters in Ohio will decide whether
12:43 12:46 to guarantee the right to abortion in
12:46 12:49 the state constitution here's Stephanie
12:49 12:53 gos however abortion may be prohibited
12:53 12:56 after 92-year-old Joan Lawrence has
12:56 12:58 always been in favor of abortion rights
12:58 13:01 I think it's up to the individual not
13:01 13:04 the government to decide what to do
13:04 13:08 about a pregnancy she's also a lifelong
13:08 13:10 Republican who served in the Ohio
13:10 13:13 legislature it's not a partisan issue it
13:13 13:15 really isn't and Republicans are making
13:15 13:18 it a part trying to make it a partisan
13:18 13:20 issue other Republican women from the
13:20 13:23 reliably R Columbus suburbs also feel
13:23 13:25 that way in August they voted against a
13:25 13:27 republican effort to make changing the
13:27 13:30 state constitution harder many viewed
13:30 13:32 that special election as an attempt to
13:32 13:34 undermine the vote next Tuesday when
13:34 13:36 Ohio will decide whether to guarantee
13:36 13:38 access to abortion in the state
13:38 13:40 constitution I thought it was kind of
13:40 13:42 sneaky that it was being placed last
13:42 13:45 minute on a special election Lisa nap a
13:45 13:47 registered Republican believes in low
13:47 13:49 taxes and small
13:49 13:51 government she also says women's bodies
13:51 13:54 are their own business so that's a big
13:54 13:56 Republican uh idea is that the
13:56 13:59 government stays out your business but
13:59 14:01 in this particular issue they are
14:01 14:03 getting in your business do you think
14:03 14:05 that the abortion issue has been good
14:05 14:08 politically for the Republican Party
14:08 14:10 horrible it is far from certain how next
14:10 14:13 week's abortion vote in Ohio will go but
14:13 14:15 either way some Republicans believe the
14:15 14:17 party is focused on the wrong issue I
14:17 14:19 feel like they're missing a lot of the
14:19 14:20 big ones a lot of the struggles that
14:20 14:23 people have in day-to-day life I mean
14:23 14:26 inflation is really bad food prices
14:26 14:28 Erica a mom of four young boys is
14:28 14:30 opposed to abortion but voted against
14:30 14:32 the Republican measure last summer which
14:32 14:35 she felt was an overreach job bud she's
14:35 14:37 frustrated with her party I don't care
14:37 14:40 about the party lines I care about truth
14:40 14:43 and honesty and following my principles
14:43 14:45 do you feel like the Republican party
14:45 14:46 right now is sort of at odds with itself
14:46 14:49 definitely definitely I just feel Lisa
14:49 14:51 has similar concerns about the future of
14:51 14:53 the party heading into the 20124
14:53 14:55 presidential election do you think
14:55 14:58 abortion is an issue that will direct
14:58 15:00 who you choosing the primaries oh yeah
15:00 15:02 absolutely if someone was like Hey I'm
15:02 15:05 going to impose six we ban I I would
15:05 15:07 never vote for that person I I think the
15:07 15:09 abortion issue is just a lot bigger than
15:09 15:13 most people have realized it is you know
15:13 15:15 for Republicans on Tuesday the state
15:15 15:18 goes to the polls the message it sends
15:18 15:21 will be felt Nationwide Stephanie gos
15:21 15:24 NBC News Delaware County Ohio and up
15:24 15:26 next for us what a flight crew did to
15:26 15:28 extinguish an exploding battery on a
15:28 15:30 commercial flight the new warning
15:30 15:33 [Music]
15:33 15:36 next we're back now with scary moments
15:36 15:39 aboard a jet blue plane a fire erupting
15:39 15:41 after a passenger's backpack suddenly
15:41 15:44 exploded as Tom Costello reports the FAA
15:44 15:46 says it's just the latest incident
15:46 15:51 aboard a plane involving lithium ion
15:51 15:53 batteries it happened as the JetBlue
15:53 15:54 flight was still boarding flight
15:54 15:56 attendants and passengers poured water
15:56 15:59 on Jimmy Levy's backpack after a battery
15:59 16:02 or charger caught fire a giant explosion
16:02 16:05 came and the ball of fire which was my
16:05 16:07 backpack came right towards my face I
16:07 16:09 was shocked Jet Blue says its crew
16:09 16:11 immediately responded and addressed the
16:11 16:14 situation it comes as the FAA reports
16:14 16:17 stunning data so far this year 60
16:17 16:19 onboard battery incidents through early
16:19 16:22 October more than one every week in
16:22 16:24 March a Spirit Airlines flight made an
16:24 16:26 emergency landing after a passenger's
16:26 16:29 device caught fire 10 passengers to area
16:29 16:33 hospitals the fire is out and it's in
16:33 16:36 the LA in February an emergency landing
16:36 16:38 in San Diego after a battery pack caught
16:38 16:41 fire the problem lithium batteries can
16:41 16:43 overheat going into what's called
16:43 16:46 thermal runaway it's why the FAA doesn't
16:46 16:49 allow batteries in checked luggage if a
16:49 16:51 fire breaks out on the cargo hold it's
16:51 16:52 something you can't see because it's
16:52 16:55 beneath the floor and that could have
16:55 16:56 catastrophic consequences because you

17:26 17:28 difficult of times
17:28 17:31 [Music]
17:31 17:33 a NASA astronaut is being remembered as
17:33 17:36 a hero tonight Ken mattingley who was
17:36 17:38 famously bummed from the Apollo 13 moon
17:38 17:41 mission in 1970 after he was exposed to
17:41 17:44 measles has died when an oxygen tank
17:44 17:47 exploded during the Apollo 13 mission
17:47 17:50 NASA says maddingly Made key realtime
17:50 17:52 decisions on the ground that helped
17:52 17:55 guide the crew back home safely he was
17:55 17:58 87 finally tonight one is Muslim the
17:58 18:00 other Jewish Blaine Alexander on how
18:00 18:02 they're fostering conversation and
18:02 18:05 setting an example in this difficult
18:05 18:07 moment for these two women of two
18:07 18:10 different faiths one Jewish one Muslim
18:10 18:13 the war is deeply personal I'm the
18:13 18:15 daughter of a survivor of the Holocaust
18:15 18:20 so when the 1400 people were um murdered
18:20 18:25 on the Gaza envelope um it went right
18:25 18:28 through me and was incredibly difficult
18:28 18:31 to deal with Roberta's friend is one of
18:31 18:34 the hostages Taha has friends living in
18:34 18:37 Gaza she grew up in war torn Bosnia
18:37 18:40 knowing what it feels to be under siege
18:40 18:42 to be shot at every single day not to
18:42 18:43 have
18:43 18:46 food uh fuel or anything it's been it
18:46 18:48 affected me deeply but during this time
18:48 18:50 of unspeakable pain these women have
18:50 18:53 found peace in each other together they
18:53 18:56 lead Sisterhood of Salam Shalom founded
18:56 18:58 10 years ago to build trust and mutual
18:58 19:01 respect between Jewish and Muslim women
19:01 19:05 I wouldn't be able to be weathering this
19:05 19:07 situation without The Sisterhood right
19:07 19:09 now that's very clear to me Roberta and
19:09 19:13 I are really we talk every day and there
19:13 19:17 are disagreements sometimes that we we
19:17 19:21 and the beautiful thing is that we hear
19:21 19:23 each other rather than withdrawing and
19:23 19:26 saying you know what you you hold on to
19:26 19:28 your opinion I'll hold to mine and let's
19:28 19:31 just separate so we keep talking we keep
19:31 19:33 talking even during this difficult time
19:33 19:36 yes these conversations at this time are
19:36 19:40 rare and not always easy are there times
19:40 19:42 when you find you or others in The
19:42 19:45 Sisterhood don't feel like having these
19:45 19:47 conversations
19:47 19:51 yes it is and and you know what I I um
19:51 19:54 sometimes I get a uh email or a call
19:54 19:56 that someone is demanding to speak right
19:56 19:59 now because they're so moved
19:59 20:02 in one way or another you know I I I
20:02 20:05 assess my own capacity that day you know
20:05 20:07 how productive am I going to be in this
20:07 20:09 conversation the last month has been
20:09 20:12 utterly exhausting and of course we
20:12 20:14 can't always engage at every minute um
20:14 20:17 there are times when I just like throw
20:17 20:19 my head back and say I can't I can't
20:19 20:21 deal with this they acknowledge it's
20:21 20:23 possible to hold multiple truths to
20:23 20:26 mourn civilian deaths in both Israel and
20:26 20:28 Gaza while seeing the war very
20:28 20:30 differently I think majority of people
20:30 20:33 are wrestling with that that is I am
20:33 20:35 wrestling with that we're recognizing
20:35 20:38 that it takes work it's a struggle that
20:38 20:40 is the importance of the Interfaith work
20:40 20:43 that we're doing right now is that we're
20:43 20:45 building bridges across tribes and just
20:45 20:47 seeing the humanity in each other
20:47 20:50 connecting across faiths while deepening

1:38 1:41 casualties Mount the US call for a
1:41 1:43 humanitarian pause getting a firm thumbs
1:43 1:45 down from prime minister Benjamin

1:52 1:55 blinken's plea to do more to protect
1:55 1:57 Palestinian civilians Israel's
1:57 1:59 government pinning any kind of a pause
1:59 2:02 to the release of hostages held by Hamas
2:02 2:05 but the unsettling images of Civilian
2:05 2:08 casualties and damaged hospitals in Gaza
2:08 2:10 continue to drive widespread
2:10 2:13 condemnation of Israel's Siege in its
2:13 2:15 defense Israel providing pictures of

2:50 2:52 telling him the US supports Israel's
2:52 2:54 mission to topple Hamas after the
2:54 2:56 October 7th terror attack that killed
2:56 3:00 1,400 Israelis it is striking
3:00 3:02 and in some ways
3:02 3:05 shocking that the brutality of the
3:05 3:08 slaughter has receded so quickly in the
3:08 3:09 memories of so
3:09 3:12 many but not in Israel and not in
3:12 3:15 America but also saying the US supports
3:15 3:17 a humanitarian pause to try to get more
3:17 3:20 Aid into Gaza and get hostages held by
3:20 3:22 Hamas out each of these efforts would be
3:22 3:25 facilitated by humanitarian pauses but
3:25 3:28 just minutes later Netanyahu saying no
3:28 3:30 pause in the fighting until Hamas first
3:30 3:33 releases its 240 hostages I made it
3:33 3:35 clear we're going full steam ahead he

4:11 4:13 and four other children are missing
4:13 4:16 under the wreckage Israel's military did
4:16 4:18 not directly respond to our question
4:18 4:20 about the blast Israel struck this
4:20 4:22 ambulance near the alifa hospital
4:22 4:23 tonight saying it was being used by a
4:23 4:26 terror cell Israel has previously
4:26 4:28 claimed there's a secret Hamas Command
4:28 4:30 Center beneath the hospital
4:30 4:32 the Hamas run Health Ministry says over
4:32 4:34 a dozen people were killed while in

4:39 4:41 doesn't want a regional War but
4:41 4:43 threatening more action against Israel
4:43 4:46 in coming days and rap we know Americans
4:46 4:48 are among the hostages being held by
4:48 4:50 Hamas and now US aircraft are reported
4:50 4:53 to be involved in the
4:53 4:55 search that's right Lester the Pentagon
4:55 4:56 saying today that American
4:56 4:59 reconnaissance drones are flying over
4:59 5:00 Gaza as part of the search for the
5:00 5:02 hostages but the US says these drones
5:02 5:04 are not armed and they're not taking
5:04 5:06 part in the strikes Lester rap Sanchez

9:50 9:52 cnbc's Kate Rooney has covered the case
9:52 9:53 from the
9:53 9:56 start before he was 30 years old Sam
9:56 9:58 bankman freed was already worth an
9:58 10:01 estimated 26 billion he founded and ran
10:01 10:04 the crypto trading exchange FTX its name
10:04 10:06 splashed across a Miami sports arena
10:06 10:08 with celebrities in corporate
10:08 10:10 commercials politicians in Washington

10:22 10:24 him on seven counts of Fraud and

10:26 10:29 indicating they will appeal my client Mr
10:29 10:33 bankman freed maintains his innocence
10:33 10:34 and we're going to continue to
10:34 10:37 vigorously fight the charges against him
10:37 10:39 but prosecutors whose case laid out how
10:39 10:41 bankman freed used customer money from
10:41 10:43 FTX to cover bad bets at his crypto
10:43 10:46 hedge fund by expense of real estate and
10:46 10:48 make political contributions called it
10:48 10:50 one of the biggest Financial frauds in
10:50 10:52 US history the cryptocurrency industry
10:52 10:55 might be new the players like Sam
10:55 10:56 bankman freed might be
10:56 10:59 new but this kind of fraud this kind of
10:59 11:02 kind of corruption is as old as time the
11:02 11:03 collapse of FTX and the downfall of
11:03 11:06 bankman freed now putting renewed focus
11:06 11:08 on congress's efforts to regulate the
11:08 11:10 crypto sector they've been unable to do
11:10 11:12 it and part of the reason for that is
11:12 11:13 because Congress can't even agree on
11:13 11:16 what cryptocurrency is let alone on how
11:16 11:18 to regulate it in the week ahead of ftxs
11:18 11:20 bankruptcy customers rushed to withdraw
11:20 11:22 their money the company didn't have it
11:22 11:24 and soon there was what amounted to a
11:24 11:26 run on the bank Jake ther says he lost
11:26 11:29 more than $200,000 worth of Investments
11:29 11:32 I feel like it is Vindication of a lot
11:32 11:35 of what people and myself went through
11:35 11:37 right this wasn't something that we did
11:37 11:39 this was something that happened to us
11:39 11:40 and Kate as you reported the defense
11:40 11:42 team is likely to appeal in this case in
11:42 11:44 the meantime he has more legal troubles
11:44 11:46 that's right Lester so sentencing for
11:46 11:48 this case is expected in March but first
11:48 11:50 bankman freed is scheduled to stand
11:50 11:52 trial over another indictment this one
11:52 11:54 about campaign Finance violation he has

12:49 12:53 gos however abortion may be prohibited
12:53 12:56 after 92-year-old Joan Lawrence has
12:56 12:58 always been in favor of abortion rights
12:58 13:01 I think it's up to the individual not
13:01 13:04 the government to decide what to do
13:04 13:08 about a pregnancy she's also a lifelong
13:08 13:10 Republican who served in the Ohio
13:10 13:13 legislature it's not a partisan issue it
13:13 13:15 really isn't and Republicans are making
13:15 13:18 it a part trying to make it a partisan
13:18 13:20 issue other Republican women from the
13:20 13:23 reliably R Columbus suburbs also feel
13:23 13:25 that way in August they voted against a
13:25 13:27 republican effort to make changing the
13:27 13:30 state constitution harder many viewed
13:30 13:32 that special election as an attempt to
13:32 13:34 undermine the vote next Tuesday when
13:34 13:36 Ohio will decide whether to guarantee
13:36 13:38 access to abortion in the state
13:38 13:40 constitution I thought it was kind of
13:40 13:42 sneaky that it was being placed last
13:42 13:45 minute on a special election Lisa nap a
13:45 13:47 registered Republican believes in low
13:47 13:49 taxes and small
13:49 13:51 government she also says women's bodies
13:51 13:54 are their own business so that's a big
13:54 13:56 Republican uh idea is that the
13:56 13:59 government stays out your business but
13:59 14:01 in this particular issue they are
14:01 14:03 getting in your business do you think
14:03 14:05 that the abortion issue has been good
14:05 14:08 politically for the Republican Party
14:08 14:10 horrible it is far from certain how next
14:10 14:13 week's abortion vote in Ohio will go but
14:13 14:15 either way some Republicans believe the
14:15 14:17 party is focused on the wrong issue I
14:17 14:19 feel like they're missing a lot of the
14:19 14:20 big ones a lot of the struggles that
14:20 14:23 people have in day-to-day life I mean
14:23 14:26 inflation is really bad food prices
14:26 14:28 Erica a mom of four young boys is
14:28 14:30 opposed to abortion but voted against
14:30 14:32 the Republican measure last summer which
14:32 14:35 she felt was an overreach job bud she's
14:35 14:37 frustrated with her party I don't care
14:37 14:40 about the party lines I care about truth
14:40 14:43 and honesty and following my principles
14:43 14:45 do you feel like the Republican party
14:45 14:46 right now is sort of at odds with itself
14:46 14:49 definitely definitely I just feel Lisa
14:49 14:51 has similar concerns about the future of
14:51 14:53 the party heading into the 20124
14:53 14:55 presidential election do you think
14:55 14:58 abortion is an issue that will direct
14:58 15:00 who you choosing the primaries oh yeah
15:00 15:02 absolutely if someone was like Hey I'm
15:02 15:05 going to impose six we ban I I would
15:05 15:07 never vote for that person I I think the
15:07 15:09 abortion issue is just a lot bigger than
15:09 15:13 most people have realized it is you know
15:13 15:15 for Republicans on Tuesday the state
15:15 15:18 goes to the polls the message it sends
15:18 15:21 will be felt Nationwide Stephanie gos
15:21 15:24 NBC News Delaware County Ohio and up
15:24 15:26 next for us what a flight crew did to
15:26 15:28 extinguish an exploding battery on a
15:28 15:30 commercial flight the new warning
15:30 15:33 [Music]
15:33 15:36 next we're back now with scary moments
15:36 15:39 aboard a jet blue plane a fire erupting
15:39 15:41 after a passenger's backpack suddenly
15:41 15:44 exploded as Tom Costello reports the FAA
15:44 15:46 says it's just the latest incident
15:46 15:51 aboard a plane involving lithium ion
15:51 15:53 batteries it happened as the JetBlue
15:53 15:54 flight was still boarding flight
15:54 15:56 attendants and passengers poured water
15:56 15:59 on Jimmy Levy's backpack after a battery
15:59 16:02 or charger caught fire a giant explosion
16:02 16:05 came and the ball of fire which was my
16:05 16:07 backpack came right towards my face I
16:07 16:09 was shocked Jet Blue says its crew
16:09 16:11 immediately responded and addressed the
16:11 16:14 situation it comes as the FAA reports
16:14 16:17 stunning data so far this year 60
16:17 16:19 onboard battery incidents through early
16:19 16:22 October more than one every week in
16:22 16:24 March a Spirit Airlines flight made an
16:24 16:26 emergency landing after a passenger's
16:26 16:29 device caught fire 10 passengers to area
16:29 16:33 hospitals the fire is out and it's in
16:33 16:36 the LA in February an emergency landing
16:36 16:38 in San Diego after a battery pack caught
16:38 16:41 fire the problem lithium batteries can
16:41 16:43 overheat going into what's called
16:43 16:46 thermal runaway it's why the FAA doesn't
16:46 16:49 allow batteries in checked luggage if a
16:49 16:51 fire breaks out on the cargo hold it's
16:51 16:52 something you can't see because it's
16:52 16:55 beneath the floor and that could have
16:55 16:56 catastrophic consequences because you
16:56 16:59 have no access to try to put it out and
16:59 17:01 lithium ion batteries are in everything
17:01 17:04 from phones to tablets vape pens to
17:04 17:07 laptops hundreds on every plane also
17:07 17:10 leading to Home Fires with serious
17:10 17:12 injuries an important warning as we go
17:12 17:14 into the busy holiday travel season more
17:14 17:17 people traveling with lithiumion devices
17:17 17:20 or receiving one as a gift Lester all

17:22 17:24 two women are Keeping the Faith and the
17:24 17:26 lines of dialogue open during the most
17:26 17:28 difficult of times
17:28 17:31 [Music]
17:31 17:33 a NASA astronaut is being remembered as
17:33 17:36 a hero tonight Ken mattingley who was
17:36 17:38 famously bummed from the Apollo 13 moon
17:38 17:41 mission in 1970 after he was exposed to
17:41 17:44 measles has died when an oxygen tank
17:44 17:47 exploded during the Apollo 13 mission
17:47 17:50 NASA says maddingly Made key realtime
17:50 17:52 decisions on the ground that helped
17:52 17:55 guide the crew back home safely he was
17:55 17:58 87 finally tonight one is Muslim the
17:58 18:00 other Jewish Blaine Alexander on how
18:00 18:02 they're fostering conversation and
18:02 18:05 setting an example in this difficult
18:05 18:07 moment for these two women of two
18:07 18:10 different faiths one Jewish one Muslim
18:10 18:13 the war is deeply personal I'm the
18:13 18:15 daughter of a survivor of the Holocaust
18:15 18:20 so when the 1400 people were um murdered
18:20 18:25 on the Gaza envelope um it went right
18:25 18:28 through me and was incredibly difficult
18:28 18:31 to deal with Roberta's friend is one of
18:31 18:34 the hostages Taha has friends living in
18:34 18:37 Gaza she grew up in war torn Bosnia
18:37 18:40 knowing what it feels to be under siege
18:40 18:42 to be shot at every single day not to
18:42 18:43 have
18:43 18:46 food uh fuel or anything it's been it
18:46 18:48 affected me deeply but during this time
18:48 18:50 of unspeakable pain these women have
18:50 18:53 found peace in each other together they
18:53 18:56 lead Sisterhood of Salam Shalom founded
18:56 18:58 10 years ago to build trust and mutual
18:58 19:01 respect between Jewish and Muslim women
19:01 19:05 I wouldn't be able to be weathering this
19:05 19:07 situation without The Sisterhood right
19:07 19:09 now that's very clear to me Roberta and
19:09 19:13 I are really we talk every day and there
19:13 19:17 are disagreements sometimes that we we
19:17 19:21 and the beautiful thing is that we hear
19:21 19:23 each other rather than withdrawing and
19:23 19:26 saying you know what you you hold on to
19:26 19:28 your opinion I'll hold to mine and let's
19:28 19:31 just separate so we keep talking we keep
19:31 19:33 talking even during this difficult time
19:33 19:36 yes these conversations at this time are
19:36 19:40 rare and not always easy are there times
19:40 19:42 when you find you or others in The
19:42 19:45 Sisterhood don't feel like having these
19:45 19:47 conversations
19:47 19:51 yes it is and and you know what I I um
19:51 19:54 sometimes I get a uh email or a call
19:54 19:56 that someone is demanding to speak right
19:56 19:59 now because they're so moved
19:59 20:02 in one way or another you know I I I
20:02 20:05 assess my own capacity that day you know
20:05 20:07 how productive am I going to be in this
20:07 20:09 conversation the last month has been
20:09 20:12 utterly exhausting and of course we
20:12 20:14 can't always engage at every minute um
20:14 20:17 there are times when I just like throw
20:17 20:19 my head back and say I can't I can't
20:19 20:21 deal with this they acknowledge it's
20:21 20:23 possible to hold multiple truths to
20:23 20:26 mourn civilian deaths in both Israel and
20:26 20:28 Gaza while seeing the war very
20:28 20:30 differently I think majority of people
20:30 20:33 are wrestling with that that is I am
20:33 20:35 wrestling with that we're recognizing
20:35 20:38 that it takes work it's a struggle that
20:38 20:40 is the importance of the Interfaith work
20:40 20:43 that we're doing right now is that we're
20:43 20:45 building bridges across tribes and just
20:45 20:47 seeing the humanity in each other
20:47 20:50 connecting across faiths while deepening
20:50 20:53 their own Blain Alexander NBC News
