dramatic decisions, the supreme court hands down two major rulings, one surrounding abortion rights, the other involving america's opioid crisis. boeing slapped with new sanctions after federal investigators say it blatantly defied their agreement. the information the company allegedly shared and with whom. and holy moly, a massive sinkhole swalows up part of a

soccer field, taking a light post with it. how it happened and why. we begin with breaking news out of the supreme court where justices have just issued two major decisions. >> the first deals with the company at the center of america's opioid epidemic. that's purdue pharma. the sackler family agreed to pay billions of dollars to settle opioid-related claims. now it's unclear whether victims and their families will get that money. >> the other major decision focused on abortions in idaho. the majority of the justices said doctors can perform emergency abortions in that state for now. this is the same case that made headlines yesterday because the draft was prematurity posted online for a short time. let's bring in ken dilanian and danny cevallos.

let's start with you and this abortion ruling, obviously specific to idaho. but what does it mean in the short term and the long term for the rest of the country? >> the question is, who knows? >> in a way it doesn't even deal with people in idaho because it sends the case back to the idaho district court and that injunction there stands. in other words, this case is not being reached on the merits. as it stands right now in idaho, that lower court still has to reach a decision on the merits. so hardly a win for those who are advocating for abortion in idaho, but it will only stall the final decision. if it's a win, it's only a temporary win at best. >> let's dig into that overruling with purdue pharma. how did the justices come to their decision there? >> at issue was a proposed $6 billion settlement between plaintiffs and purdue pharma and

the sackler family who made billions selling oxycontin long after they knew huge numbers of americans were getting addicted. the settlement was backed by all 50 state attorneys general but opposed by the justice department. they found that it violates u.s. bankruptcy law by shielding members of the sackler family from liability without forcing them to go through the bankruptcy process. it was a 5-4 decision. there were liberals and conservatives on both sides. justice neil gorsuch said the court had to interpret and apply the law as we find it, and nothing in the present law authorized the sackler discharge from bankruptcy. it could have a devastating impact on families waiting for this money as well as public health programs to address the ongoing opioid crisis. justice kavanaugh wrote, today's

decision is wrong on the law and devastating for victims and their families. backers said this was really the only way to extract billions of dollars from that family, many of whom now live overseas. >> talk to us about that idea that the settlement has been blocked by families could sue individually the sackler family. is that going to be the only alternate legal recourse for families? >> it's not a great remedy if that's all that's left to them, because this case was over. everybody was getting essentially what they wanted. obviously the sacklers doesn't want this to happen, but they had achieved a beneficial resolution for them. they didn't have to get involved in the bankruptcy proceeding, they contributed in the pot and that was going to be distributed and people were going to get money today. i can't stress how important money today in litigation is ran

than maybe money off in the distance. maintaining individual cases can be very costly for the attorneys and ultimately all those get passed onto the victims. the supreme court's decision on abortion could very welcome up as a topic in tonight's first presidential debate. >> president biden and former president trump will share a debate stage for the first time since 2020 but things will look and sound very different than they did four years ago. it will be the first time they've shared a debate stage since 2020, but it will look and sound quite different. there will be no audience. moderators will be able to cut the candidates' microphones if they go past their a lotted time. and the candidates can't talk with staffers during breaks. gabe, abortion one of the top issues heading into november. how are the biden and trump campaigns reacting to today's supreme court decision?

>> one of the key issues, as you mentioned reproductive rights. we've already seen several statements throughout the day with the campaign and from president biden himself saying women's health remains in peril across the country because of donald trump. the president said no wan should be denied care, made to wait until she's near death or forced to flee her home state just to get the care she needs. the trump campaign says president trump has long been consistent in supporting the rights of states to make decisions on abortion. former president trump himself has said that he does not want a national abortion ban even though the biden campaign is trying to cast him as someone who does. but his argument has been leave this up to the states. so look for the biden campaign to really make that an issue in

this debate, an issue they think is a winning one. >> when you look at polling, we often see immigration, the u.s./mexico border, inflation and the economy in addition to reproductive rights. walk us through some of the big issues that might come up in tonight's debate. >> reporter: you mentioned a lot of them right there. not just reproductive rights but also focusing on threats to democracy. in terms of the economy, they do want to talk about strengthening the middle class. that is a theme they have hit many times over the last several months in this campaign. you put those different rules up there on the screen that this will be a debate that looks very different than past ones with no live audience. this could be a key one, with

mics muted if a candidate goes past the alotted time. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you so much. it is a big night. nbc news has you covered. our special debate coverage begins at 7:00 p.m. eastern on nbc news now. you can watch the debate tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern on your local nbc station. more trouble for boeing. >> the company is now being sanctioned by u.s. regulators over that alaska airlines mid-flight door plug blowout. the airplane manufacturer is trying to reassure the public that its planes are safe. tom costello spent the day inside a boeing facility for a firsthand look. >> reporter: boeing's problems stemming from that max 9 door plug blowout have grown more serious. the ntsb is sanctioning boeing after its executives provided

reporters with an update on how the fuselage for that plane made its way through the assembly line with the door plug not bolted in. >> we believe that plug was opened without the correct paperwork. >> reporter: the ntsb does not allow parties to an investigation to go public with information until that investigation is complete. boeing remains under ntsb at the investigation. the focus very much the 737 max assembly line near seattle, where boeing's reputation is on the line. the two max planes that crashed more than five years ago came off this line. so did the max 9 that suffered that door plug blowout in january. ever since, faa inspectors have been on the floor. america's aviation giant has admitted to a breakdown in quality and safety control.

now an all-out blitz starting here tracking every job, every tool, every procedure. why has it taken you so long to develop a top-to-bottom approach to safety management that one would think this company should have had in place decades ago? >> we have a strong foundation of caring deeply about safety. but what i also know is, though, we have to continually improve. this is a chance for us to do it. >> reporter: boeing is trying to reassure both airlines and the flying public that it's changing for the better. it generally takes ten days to move a max through the assembly line. but if they identify a problem, they can stop the line. right now, one of three assembly lines has a gap in it right there. that's because they identified a problem with a plane. they decided to stop it and check it. that's a big change, drilling

down on engineering basics rather than increasing production rate. >> start slow and finish with a nice -- >> implementing safety and quality changes and listening to every member of this team is my priority. >> i am extremely confident that the actions that we took have ensured that every airplane leaving this factory is safe. >> the ntsb says boeing will no longer have access to information that investigators develop and will not be allowed to ask questions of other parties to the investigation. this happened in the very early hours. nbc has reached out to boeing for comment about the sanctions. we've not yet heard back. >> thank you so much. amazon plans to launch a discount store front to compete with temu and shein. an amazon spokesperson wouldn't comment on the plans but says

. welcome back. calm has returned to the streets of bolivia today after an attempted failed coup. the country's president and top general accused of leading the movement came face to face at the presidential palace. three hours after the general was arrested. what led up to this attempted

coup? >> i'm going to do my best to summarize. president -- you see one of the armored vehicles ramming into the presidential palace yesterday. seemingly a siege was led by a general named juan zuniga. he was expressing his discontent at this upcoming election. he was saying he didn't want to see morales hold power again. he was holding the current government responsible for the financial turmoil bolivia has seen. i'll quickly say that general claimed right before he was arrested, taken away that

general you see there facing off with the current president, he said that the current president put him up to this saying he needed a win. he needed something to win the support of the bolivian peopl denying this. the government is claiming even just as recently as with the last few minutes they held a press conference saying 17 more people have been arrested in addition to that general saying they have evidence this was planned since may. a lot to parse through here, but of course a lot of skepticism and questions on what comes ahead in the coming days and months before that election next year. if you ever wanted to go green and aren't really sure where to start, you apparently are not alone.

>> it's true. a new report says many people are taking fewer steps to go green and that includes ditching electric cars. the main part of this study focused on renewable energy, specifically solar and wind. why are people supporting that, investing into that less than before? >> this falls along party lines. democrats still support wind and solar but republicans are really changing their mind about it. particularly republicans over the age of 65 aren't in support of wind and solar as much as they used to be. >> apparently people are becoming less interested in electric cars. >> i think this is a situation where we got ahead of ourselves a little bit. a lot of people were excited about electric vehicles but they get out there and can't find a charging station or if they can find one, it doesn't work.

even among democrats there's still a lot of uncertainty and lack of confidence that we can build our infrastructure out quickly enough. >> let's switch gears for a moment. earlier today the supreme court blocked a pretty critical regulation known as the good neighbor rule. can you walk through what exactly that means, what it does? >> basically we all breathe the same air. if you pollute in one place, you're going to breathe that across state lines. this rule says if your neighbor takes their trash can out instead of to the curb and dumps it in your front yard, it's the same thing that's happening in our skies. coming up, yellowstone national park is celebrating the birth of a rare white buffalo. birth of a rare white buffalo. why some say it f why didn't we do this last year? before you were preventing migraine with qulipta®? remember the pain? cancelled plans? the worry? that was then.

real talk, what does it look like when we compare the terms of trump and biden? >> it's remarkable. we don't just have a bunch of promises. they both have presidential records we can look to. let's start with former president trump. when he ended, inflation was just 1.4% on his watch, but unemployment had begun to climb higher because of the covid crisis. stocks, though, soared on his watch. you might recall something that he took credit for saying the record highs in the stock market were because of him. joe biden, inflation 3.3% today, but remember his spicy 9%. this is one of the reasons so many consumers say they still people badly about the economy because of the inflation. but the job market has been powering higher. this has been a remarkable part

of the economy that has been dynamic and growing. the stock market under joe biden as well is up. this is the trump administration s&p 500. this is the biden administration's s&p 500. you've had stocks more than double since 2017. wall street is not always main street, of course, but quite interesting that corporate america has been doing well under both presidents. >> both candidates have laid out very different blueprints for the u.s. economy, particularly having to do with thing nation's tax code. remind us where the candidates stand on that issue. >> this is probably the most important thing for every one of our viewers to think of, because the 2017 trump tax cuts expire at the end of 2025. all of our tax bills are on the line here. what do these two candidates want to do? trump has cut the corporate tax rate to 20%. he wants to extend those 2015 tax cuts at a cost that could be

up to $25 trillion. he wants to get rid of taxes on tips. this is clearly a play to appeal to low income workers. biden wants to make sure there are no tax increases for anybody who makes less than $400,000 a year, and he wants to raise taxes on the super wealthy and campaigns. he says regular working people still pay too much of their paycheck in taxes and it should be companies and the super wealthy. he wants to propose home buyer tax credits to address the affordability issue in real estate. >> what are the key economic points you think both men will be trying to drive home? >> i think they're going to talk about what they want to do and they have done. donald trump wants more deficit. we'll see if immigration is a big discussion tonight. he may be critical. as for changes to the fed, i think you'll hear joe biden talk about the consumer and the

kitchen table and how his policies are geared toward people, not corporations. >> it's a big night. you can catch nbc news with all the latest. christine and the team are here to bring you special debate coverage tonight beginning at 7:00 p.m. eastern beginning on nbc news now. watch the debate at 9:00 p.m. on nbc news now or your local nbc news station. the los angeles police department is continuing their investigation into the death of actor matthew perry. the "friends" star was found unresponsive in his hot tub last october with drugs in his system. those who supplied perry with those drugs could face charges. >> reporter: new details on potential charges in the death of actor matthew perry. a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation into how he obtained the ketamine that contributed to his death telling nbc news several people who supplied perry with the drug could face federal

charges. perry was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his pacific palisades home last october. the l.a. county medical examiner's office says he died from acute effects of ketamine, a powerful anesthetic approved by the fda to treat depression under supervision, but one that can also be used recreationally. perry was on ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety. but the autopsy report says the ketamine in his system could not have been from his last therapy session, which was a week and a half before he died, saying the level in his blood was equivalent to the amount used for general anesthesia. perry had always been open about his long struggle with addiction. >> it wants you sick and then it wants to kill you. >> reporter: he rose to superstardom on the hit show"

starting high school as a nonbinary student, they're also on a swim team. the laws could impact whether they're allowed to compete in a full coverage bathing suit. >> queer youths are scared. they have reached out to legislators and written medical providers letting them now how afraid they are. >> reporter: sam's father nick bates understands that fear. >> all of these things i think will do harm to kids, especially kids who are still trying to figure it out and they're scared. >> reporter: hb 8 would require schools to notify parents before teaching sexuality content which includes sexual concepts and gender ideology. ohio legislators backing the measure argue it's about parental rights.

do you think those bills are actually for parental choice? >> no. i think those bills are about silencing and trying to hide members of our community. >> reporter: rather than shield sam from all of this, bates has taken them to the state house. >> my swim coach and my dad both use stories about me when they were testifying. >> the government either needs to have our back or let us parent. they should not be creating more roadblocks for parents to parent. >> reporter: and nick is not just a dad, he's also a deacon at the lutheran church in their town. >> reporter: how has your faith helped you be a better advocate for this community? >> we are called to accompany and walk alongside of those who have been pushed down and marginalized. >> reporter: nick says he's optimistic the world is moving toward a more accepting and safer place for sam. >> it's hard sometimes in the

viewership. sort of the subtext there is voter turnout, voter engagement. what should we know? >> it's a big wildcard just because of this. here's when the first debate of every previous presidential election was held, october 7th. here we are june 27th. where did this come from? the previous earliest debate was september 23rd. we're three months earlier than that. who is going to watch tonight as we're getting near the fourth of july holiday summer. last time around the first debate between trump and biden got 73 million viewers. the turnout in the 2020 election was 150 million. so nearly half of all people who voted watched the debate. it is an unparalleled opportunity for both of them. bigger picture here, these are the highest rated debates, biggest audiences you've seen.

number three was 2020. this is the high end of the possibility of the range. lowest rates back in '96, the clinton/dole race wasn't exactly electric. where is this going to land in that realm tonight is a big for everybody. >> let's talk about president joe biden's approval rating. how does it compare to past incumbents? >> he is not in the position you want to be. this is the average of biden's approval rating right now. it's 40.7%. these are all the incumbents running for reelection. what was their average approval rating on the day of the first debate of their reelection? a lot of these are from later in the year. again, you can see where biden's

number falls. donald trump lost in 2020. that's where he was. george bush. that's where he was. jimmy carter lost in 1980. that's where he was. meanwhile, here's the winners, the four who won. you see how far off those numbers are. again, we'll see how huge it is tonight. but a good night for biden would help get this number up a bit. >> our debate coverage begins at 7:00 p.m. eastern on "nbc news now" or on your local nbc news station. there is a lot more news ahead. >> don't go anywhere. you are watching "nbc news daily." if you have chronic kidney disease you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with farxiga. because there are places you'd like to be.

and the cause is still under investigation. slightly cooler day across the bay area today, but triple digits are ahead. here's meteorologist kari hall with your 7-day forecast. today will be the coolest day. we'll see in quite a while with highs in the mid 80s. for warmer spots inland. it will be just a couple of degrees warmer tomorrow into saturday, and we'll start to feel the heat cranking up on sunday. but then look at next week. we'll see high temperatures hitting the triple digits for the inland valleys from the south bay to the tri valley to much of the north bay, and napa and sonoma valleys, while san francisco will still be the place to go cool off. we'll be in the 60s here throughout the weekend, and then early next week. at this point, it doesn't look like it's going to be much warmer only in the mid 70s with a lot of sunshine in the forecast. we will be watching that 4th of july forecast just beyond the seven day, and you'll want to keep checking back inor updates. all f

at least until july 1st. consumer investigator chris coomer is here to share some new guest benefits, thanks to two new state lodging laws. the first one requires hotels and vacation rentals to disclose all fees upfront. that means no more surprise resort amenity, cleaning or junk fees that just jack up the price. hotels and vacation rentals can still advertise room rates without tax, but all required fees must be part of the price you see up front. also, prices for room service menus must also include service fees up front. the california hotel association by the way, warned members that if they don't comply, they face government fines up to $10,000 per violation. the second new law mirrors airline law, and here's what it does. it gives you the option to cancel a hotel

or vacation rental booking and get a full refund for the first 24 hours after you book. this is great news for savvy travelers who like to shop around, but the law has three important restrictions your right to cancel risk free within the 24 hour period. well, that does not apply when you make a last minute booking within three days of check in, you book with a meeting planner or a group, or you book with a travel discounter who doesn't reveal the hotel's name until after you prepay. for most reservations, though, you can change your mind and get a full refund within 24 hours. starting july 1st. hotel hiccups are a common complaint in our inbox. scan the qr code on screen right now to ring the bell and fill out our consumer complaint form online. all right chris thank you. look at this. warriors have unveiled a brand new secondary logo. see the new design with the w resembling a
