"nbc news daily" starts right now. today, monday, june 17th,

2024. summer scorcher. one in three americans will endure temperatures above 90 degrees this week, that brutal heat is already fueling dangerous wildfires, we're tracking the extreme weather coast to coast. pressing pause, israel's military said it will pause fighting each day along the humanitarian route in gaza. users beware, the surgeon general is calling on congress to require warning labels on social media. bada bing, the sew pran knows marks 25 years, the cast reflects on the show that changed television as we know it. but we begin this hour in southern california where firefighters are battling los angeles county's first wildfire of the year.

>> it began on saturday, it's grown to more than 15,000 acres stretching across los angeles and ventura counties, cal fire said it's only 8% contained. >> this is what close to 1200 people saw before they were forced to evacuate from a state recreational area. steve patterson has the latest. >> reporter: firefighting operations are continuing here. crews are rolling out ahead of the fire right now, it's about 15,000 acres, we've heard that basically, firefighters have gotten some containment last night, last night it was 2%. right now, 8%. it's actually very significant when we're talking about a fire of this size, the problem that crews are having is with the winds, the amount of spread, the changing of direction, how fast

the fire's moving, the fact that we're surrounded by this dry vegetation, dried out after all of this rain in this area has had, now it's grown up and as the sun comes out soaks up the moisture, creates this runway for this fire to move down, that's why it spread so quickly, we heard three injuries so far including a firefighter who's working as part of a hand crew on the fire late last night. we're also hearing about a couple of structures burned. one recreational, the other this parking lot full of cars, completely charred out. this fire hasn't done a significant amount of damage, it's burning away from homes, but it's close to an interstate. they're pushing it into more of forest area where they hope they can contain it and where they hope it will burn out.

if the wind shift as early as tonight could be a whole handful of new problems. >> steve, thanks. california isn't the only place dealing with extreme weather conditions. third of the country is expected to top more than 90s. >> part as of montana and idaho are getting a taste of winter with some snow? june. bill karins is tracking it all but we start with shaquille brewster. chicago could hit a record high today and this is just the start, right, how are people preparing for the heat wave? >> reporter: it's a mix of trying enjoy the warmer weather, especially for folks who live in chicago and deal with those cold temperatures for most of the year, but also being safe as they're doing so, the temperature is at 93 degrees, if we hit 97 you're going to see that record, not just the temperatures also the humidity

and that's when you see it's feeling like a temperature closer to 100 degrees. listen to what some folks told me about how they're managing these high temperatures? >> how are you dealing with these temperatures? >> it's pretty hot out, have some water and try not to stay out too long. >> sunscreen, you have to put on sunscreen every single day. >> reporter: the tips from the national weather service wear light clothing, stay hydrated and get those breaks wherever you can. go inside and enjoy this ac. you have chicago opening hundreds of cooling centers or at least making libraries, community centers available for folks to go inside and get that reprieve from that temperature because it's not just today or tomorrow you're going to have these high temperatures,

90-degree-plus for days. >> bill karins, we're seeing fires in california, potentially record-breaking highs in chicago, what else are you watching? lot of red there. >> there is. it's snowing in idaho, pretty remote areas. the post fire, rapidly spread over the last two years, los angeles is at 70 degrees, the temperature isn't the big story with this, the arrows on here showing the wind direction, it's getting a little gusty, the post fire here, located just to the west of interstate 5 down to pyramid lake, the wind gusts are picking up as we head throughout the afternoon at the crest there are firefighters say it could go up to 50 miles an hour, that's the problem, it could easily spark up again, little less containment. that's a possibility. the other story, it's very dry

and very windy, high fire risk in many areas of the four corners region, as far as the heat goes, lot of numbers, 9 million people are expecting 100-plus today, a few spots in ko, into the 100s in phoenix and yuma. washington, d.c., has a chance of hitting 100. >> it's still technically spring. bill karins, shaq brewster, thank you both. in israel, the prime minister officially dissolved his war cabinet. >> the shakeup kind of consolidates his power over decisionmaking over the war in gaza.

it consolidates his power over decisionmaking in the war in gaza. nbc news chief international correspondent keir simmons joins us from beirut, lebanon. let's start with what's happening in the area, israeli military have warned of a possible wider conflict with hezbollah. >> reporter: things have been escalating. today we heard from the idf, the israeli military, they say they have killed another hezbollah fighter. last week the israelis killed a hezbollah commander, that led to retaliation from hezbollah and that's prompting once again a simmering war along the northern border of israel. southern border of lebanon here, could really explode into a full-scale war, the implications of that would be very serious indeed, but ultimately what worries washington is iran would be pulled into that conflict and therefore the u.s. would be, too, millions of refugees here,

people remember the syrian war, millions of palestinian refugees here, too, from many, many previous conflicts, all of them, would have pressure put on them. that's the kind of thing washington is worried about it. >> keir, prime minister netanyahu hooz dissolved his war cabinet, another sign of division within the israeli government? >> reporter: look, there are clearly deep tensions within the israeli establishment, within the israeli government, you saw benny days ago resign from the war cabinet saying that prime minister netanyahu didn't have any aims or ultimate kind of plan after the war or even during the war and now we're hearing from the prime minister's office criticizing

the idf itself for this announcement of a daily strategic pause to try to allow aid into gaza, i think it does reflect the huge tensions within israel and within the israeli government itself and as you mentioned the prime minister dissolving the that war cabinet likely in part because he doesn't want to bring in two extreme right members of his cabinet, that won't be look upon fondly by anyone, including the white house. they're continuing very difficult relationships within the israeli government. >> keir, thank you. it's time now for today's money minute. a potential battery breakthrough for apple. taylor swift would be causing the bank of england to shift course.

the united states surgeon general is calling for a tobacco-style warning label on social media platforms. >> writing in "the new york times" op-ed today, quote the mental health crisis among young people is an emergency and social media has emerged as an important contributor. he's also asking congress to pass the requirements since he doesn't have the authority to act on his own. joining us is anne thompson, what else is the surgeon general saying about his plan, have we heard back from the social media companies. >> they haven't responded at this point. the surgeon general makes clear in his op-ed today that this is an urgent situation and while we're waiting for congress to act he say there is are things families can do, and he laid out the urgency of this issue.

are still developing at this point in their teenage years, so it's not their mental health, it's their physical health that's at risk and if you're going to ask your teen to do it have the whole family do it so that nobody feels single out. >> is there a window or a guess as to when congress will consider going forward with a warning label? >> there's legislation and it has bipartisan support in senate to take some action to regulate social media, but that's all it is. it's got, you know, it hasn't started to move through the process. would this spur it? maybe. but remember, it's an election year and remember those social media companies, they donate a whole lot of money to political
