wood came down from the ceiling. we probably would have been killed, i think. >> reporter: and sadly this storm has claimed the lives of two people in texas, both of those people dyings as a result of trees crashing into their homes. certainly something for folks to look out for and the other major concern is flooding, especially in places like houston and this storm moves into east texas, we heard the mayor of houston really cautioning people to stay home and continue to shelter in place but if you're out driving and see those roads covered in water don't drive through them. and the loss of power, some 2.7 million people across the state of texas without power, but there are crews out working to restore that power today. >> priscillapriscilla, thank yo let's bring in steve patterson tracking those wildfires in california, steve, what do we know about those

hikers. >> reporter: they've been able to locate the hikers. this fire is so small, 176 acres, that's like, if there was with no smoke you'd be able to see the other side of it, it tells you how quickly and how fast and how just these fires are, at least 20 major fires burning at all times since really mid-june or so, this is a product of just the environment, how hot it is, how windy it's been the season has been awful, it's produced the lake fire which currently is the largest wildfire burning in california, more than 20,000 acres, 8% contained. burning close to michael jackson's neverland ranch.

firefighters doing all they can and there are thousands of them to keep these fires away for population centers, so far they've been successful but there's been a lot of damage this year and a lot of acres have burned. >> and it's hot out, too. let's go to bill karins, we're talking extreme heat, and a tropical storm at the same time. talk about both danger zones. >> reporter: the immediate concern first, with beryl, this storm may landfall earlier today, now we're in the middle of a tornado outbreak, seven tornado warnings, we have numerous tornado warnings right along the louisiana/texas border,or considerable threat. we'll see additional heavy rainfall later on tonight. northeast texas into areas of

criminal trial, so they somewhat have their fate in their own hands at this point. i want to show you the list of stipulations that this plea deal includes, number one, being labelled a felon. the crime they're pleading guilty to is conspiring to defraud the federal government a charge that families of victims don't believe is strong enough. they agreed to 243.of million fine. in addition to fines they already paid. an independent compliance monitor that will be in place for the next three years. there's one other stipulation here, important to note here, and that's that boeing has agreed to have its board meet with families of the victims that were lost in those two fatal 737 max crashes. you see that disby boeing, but i

can assure you based on the feedback we're hearing from the families and their attorneys since they agreed to this plea deal late yesterday it will likely not change their tune, one attorney saying that this charge they pleaded guilty to would be better if it was not this conspiracy to commit fraud but manslaughter. they don't believe this is strong enough and they're calling this a sweetheart deal. >> morgan chesky, thank you. alec baldwin's trial for involuntary manslaughter is set to begin tomorrow. >> baldwin appeared in court for the first time in person today. a judge heard arguments over evidence and witnesses in the case against him. >> chloe melas breaks down what we should expect from his trial. this trial is expected to

subsequent gun analysis report that they commissioned found that the gun was functioning properly and could not have gone off without baldwin pulling the trigger. matt hutchins telling hoda in 2022 he believes baldwin's actions led to helena's death. >> it's absurd to me. >> reporter: baldwin has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. later that year, hutchins announced that he settled a civil suit against baldwin and would serve as an executive producer on the film, which wrapped filming last spring. baldwin's trial coming four months after the film's armorer was found guilty of the same charge and is serving her 18 months behind bars. hannah gutierrez reed is expected to be called to testify by the prosecution. although she said in a pre-trial interview she did not want to cooperate and take the stand. during today's hearings, the

judge is going to be deciding on whether to include certain witness testimony and evidence relating to baldwin's role as a producer. we reached out to alec baldwin's legal team for comment. some say that actually it can do more harm than good when the client takes the stand. it might be a gametime decision. >> chloe, thanks so much. time now for today's money minute. pair mount agrees to a major media merger. paramount global has agreed to merge with skydance. paramount signed off the deal on sunday. skydance's founder will take the helm after the deal closes nascar is going electric,

steep hills. now, you might recall last tuesday, the east bay regional park district shut down this park and about 30 of its other locations. due to the extreme heat and fire danger. but then they reopened them yesterday because of temps had dropped enough and the humidity levels returned to safe enough levels. i'd rather have them closed and threw in a fire than have them open an extra day and yeah, see that smoke for a month? how you been handling the heat? i'm done with my ride by night and you can go somewhere inside for example, like a supermarket or a library or something. and then it's for us. the ac cooled rooms are a bit of a, of a change because we are not used to ac having everywhere in austria and germany, hot and cold and freezing. yeah, yeah. and hot again. you need a hoodie. that was daniel from austria and julia from germany, who aren't used to experiencing air conditioning, so they don't have much of it back in central europe. and they have been

what are we going to hear from the defense. >> criminalize routine legislative activity. they're going to pass some of this blame on to the wife. we expect he's going say the senator was kept in the dark about all of this, about what his wife was doing. even said that menendez -- mrs. menendez tried to get cash any way that she could and she's been charged with bribery, she's being tried later because she's battling breast cancer right now. election shocker in france, the country's left-wing party surged in the second round of elections yesterday. after the country's far-right appeared to be poised for victory. no party has a majority now and that's thrusting france into political uncertainty.

josh lederman joins us now from paris, josh, good to see you, how did the centrist and leftist ultimately defeat the far right and what happens now that no party really has a majority in parliament in. >> reporter: they did it by banding together at the last minute, essentially in the first round of voting, the voting was split between a far right candidate, a centrist candidate and the leftist candidate. the centrist and the leftist said, leave one candidate versus the far right candidate. that cleared the way to block the far right from gaining the most seats in parliament. but from here we're likely to see grid lock and potentially paralysis because no party has clear majority. the president and the prime minister are going to be from

different parties. >> far right politics has been on the rise in european nations. >> reporter: there's a silver lining here for the far right, even though they fell short of the majority they were hoping for they gained about 50-plus seats in parliament, their largest share of parliament ever, and so this is a huge rise in votes for the far right here, and the party is saying, look, we might not have gotten everything we wanted but this is long game, we expect this is going to lay groundwork to take power in the election in the years ahead. they're gaining more seats in european parliament and individual nations. we saw just last week in the uk, even though the lay bour party won the far-right party, gained seats in parliament for the first time ever.

they're clearly gaining seats in a whole lot of european countries. >> josh, thank you. sunday marks nine months since hamas terrorists attacked israel and that ignited the war in gaza, it comes as nbc news got an inside look at destruction inside the southern city of rafah. here's nbc news correspondent matt bradley. >> reporter: negotiations are back on. the head of the cia is headed to cairo and doha this week for more talks. today, a renewed voice of optimism. hamas has softened its stance, a senior american official said, signaling it may free some hostages without a permanent cease-fire, something it had adamantly demanded. hamas compromised after israel

invaded rafah. last week, israeli sensors reviewed all this footage. rafah is now a ghost town. leveled by fight ingfighting. this city is completely unrecognizable. it was only a couple of months ago that this was really considered the last safe haven for palestinians. there is still a lot of shooting that's going on here. the idf showed us videos of what they said were boobytrapped homes. the idf edited these videos and nbc news has not verified their authenticity. they also highlighted extensive tunnels the idf says helped supply hamas for years. >> where all the tunnels were, where all the boobytrapped homes were. this area looks more destruction because of hamas. >> reporter: for months, the israeli military said they entered a new, less intensive phase here, that they would focus on surgical strikes instead of expansive assaults.

but for gazan civilians, the death toll is still climbing. despite the optimism around that deal, benjamin netanyahu faces a lot of pressure from his right-wing cabinet members, some of whom have threatened to quit the government if he ends the war in gaza without completely destroying hamas. in today's daily health, major medical news that could affect the nearly 16 million americans who take the injectable weight loss drugs like ozempic and wegovy. >> the findings published in journal of the american medical association this month, joining us now is dr. natalie azar. first, walk us through the findings of this study, which cancers are we talking about here? >> yeah, that's right, guys, really exciting news, the gift that keeps on giving with these

medications, basically 13 obesity-associated cancers, 10 out of 13 were found to be reduced in patients that took medications like ozempic and wegovy. they primarily work in the gut, so cancers like liver, galbadder, colorectal, ovarian. kind of across the spectrum if you will, but a lot of these concentrated in the g.i. system. >> natalie, do they seem to show promise because they help people lose weight? >> that's the presums, right, you know, the individuals in this study had type 2 diabetes the cohort they studied, so, you

know, it's kind of untangle that because type ii diabetes also increases the risk of cancer in the same way obesity can. high bmi, maybe a smoking component there in at lo of these individuals. the short answer is, we don't know, but we know that obesity and overweight is very common in individuals with type ii diabetes. >> there's hormonal changes that can also happen in individuals who are overweight or obese that can contribute to the increased risk of cancer. >> not all cancer risks were reduced. >> yeah, that's right. the three that were not, stomach cancer, breast cancer unfortunately, and somewhat surprisingly and thyroid cancer which actually wasn't a surprise and i should remind our viewers that there's an increased risk

of certain types of thyroid cancer that's thought to be related to these medications. that finding again was not necessarily a surprise to investigators. >> if you have a history in your family of some of these cancers where they do show promise, should you talk to your doctor about taking one of these medications in. >> in an ideal world an overabundance and really a lot of availability of these medicines that were affordable i'd say sure, something that could be done sort of theoretically because there's biological plausibility. but i think realistically until it's fda approved for that, if you're of normal weight, i don't know how much of an improved risk being on a medication like this. if you're overweight and at risk you can certainly have that conversation with your doctor.

>> let's talk about another study out today, people lost more weight using drugs like mounjaro than ozempic. >> agents were compared head to head. we've had data in the past the active compound in zepbound and mounjaro, compared to wegovy, it works on two hormones in the body and we think because of that there's an enhanced effect when it comes to weight loss, not a surprising result, reaffirms findings from previous studies. there's more weight loss with mounjaro and zepbound.
