♪♪ today, friday, july 12, 2024, asked and answered. reaction is pours in after president biden's high-stakes news conference. did he do enough to sway doubters and defenders one way or another? hold the phone. at&t says hackers stole private data from nearly all of its wireless customers. what millions of americans need to know about the information that was taken. leaving las vegas. one of the strip's most iconic hotel and casinos is folding. why visitors are betting big at the mirage before it closes its doors for good. and my girl, a surprise of a lifetime for one father and daughter. >> hi. >> my god. >> they're heart-warming story is today's "good news." i promise you, you do not want

to miss that story. it just makes you feel good about the world. let's begin this hour with the big news overnight. president biden, he's on his way to michigan for a political rally right now, one day after last night's high-stakes solo news conference. reaction today is mixed. some democrats are voicing support for the president, who says he is staying in the race. but a growing number of lawmakers in the house and the senate publicly saying it is time for biden to drop out. nearly half of them coming forward in just the past 24 hours. keep in mind, that group on the screen represents about 7% of all democrats on capitol hill. so, it is a small sliver. in case you missed it last night, president biden's gaffe when he accidentally called his vice president trump instead of harris getting a lot of attention online. he did also hit on many wide-ranging topics in that nearly hour-long news conference, including digging deep into the details when answering several questions on foreign policy. it all comes on the heels of the

nato summit, where the commander in chief spoke with allies in washington. former president also spent time at mar-a-lago at the same time yesterday with hungary's far right prime minister. let's bring in nbc news washington correspondent yamiche alcindor. and monica alba is with us. monica, i'll start with you at the white house. what are your sources from the biden team telling you about the direction of the campaign now? >> reporter: i have to tell you, there was a bit of a collective exhale from some of the people i spoke with last night following the news conference because they did know that there was a lot of pressure on that moment, that it was certainly high stakes. but they felt that the president gave a lot of really detailed answers on foreign policy. of course he was wrapping up the nato summit. so, that meant that he was going to be talking about those issues. but they also felt like, because he took more questions than perhaps we anticipated -- it was nearly an hour-long total -- that again, he was able to engage on some of these really

persistent and nagging questions that even some democratic lawmakers had raised and felt like he hadn't spoken to as much now. at the same time, there's a total awareness from people around the president and the re-election effort that that did not quiet all the anxieties on its own. that's why he's going to be continuing on with more campaign events. he's going to be sitting down with our colleague, lester holt, on monday. he's going to be traveling in texas and nevada. they're saying they really want people to take a holistic look at all of his different appearances that are coming. but the president and his aides reiterating what he said last night. he's determined to stay in this race. he's committed to it no matter what the external pressure is saying now. >> yamiche, let me bring you in. i know you have new reporting on the congressional black caucus. that's the group on capitol hill of influential democratic members of the house. while many members of the caucus are publicly supporting biden, there's more to the story behind

the scenes. what are you hearing? >> reporter: that's right. members of the congressional black caucus, which are key biden allies, remain largely supportive of the president. but a number are worried the ongoing pressure president biden is facing to drop out may prove fatal to his campaign and damage the democratic party overall. stressing they need to spend more resources like wages, housing cost, and inflation, and less on trump and democracy. one of the members also told me they doubt president biden can make it four more years as president. and they believe there's been a notable decline in his health. that person wants him to stay in the race but is hoping he might resign after he wins and hand things over to vice president kamala harris. -- he will be, quote, all in for the vice president if biden dropped out, kate. >> and he also said he supports biden and wants biden to make

the decision. yamiche alcindor, monica alba, appreciate it. on monday night, lester holt will sit down with president biden for an exclusive one-on-one interview. you can watch a preview first on "nbc nightly news" and the full unedited interview will be in a prime-time special that i will also be a part of. that airs july 15th, monday, 9:00 p.m. eastern, 6:00 p.m. out west on your local nbc station and on nbc news now. we're following breaking news this hour on the israel hamas war. president biden says both israel and hamas have agreed to the framework of a deal for a ceasefire in gaza. it will end the fighting and secure the release of more than 100 hostages still being held by hamas. this comes as we learn the temporary floating pier brought by the u.s. intended to bring more humanitarian aid into e gaza will be dismantled and shut

down in the coming days. hala gorani is with us. hala, i'll start with you. at the press conference yesterday, president biden said this framework was agreed to. then he said it again today in a social media post. what is the reaction in israel? >> so, we have asked the prime minister's office for reaction. we haven't received any yet. we've been here before, though. it has to be said. i flew to cairo seven weeks ago because we were anticipating a break through in these ceasefire talks and we heard similar rhetoric from u.s. administration officials. and then in the end, that deal did not materialize. what the president has said today, what he said yesterday and what he tweeted today, saying he's determined to make a deal happen and that a framework has been agreed upon, which is what he said at the news conference in washington yesterday. listen. >> these are difficult, complex issues. there are still gaps to close. we're making progress.

the trend is positive. and i'm determined to get this deal done and bring an end to this war, which should end now. >> reporter: so many -- he's talking about complex issues. they are, indeed complex. who will rule gaza after the war? who will control the border crossings between egypt and gaza? when and how and in how many phases will the hostages be released? what palestinian prisoners will be exchanged for those hostages? all open questions and very difficult negotiations ongoing, kate. >> hala, thank you. let me go to kourtney. i want to ask about this pier. i know you got a first-hand look at it last month. you were there. last night in his press conference, the president said he was disappointed that the pier didn't work out. did the military not know whether it was going to be an issue before they planned this? they spent, what, $200 million to build it? >> yeah, more than $200 million throughout the course of this mission. remember, president biden is the one who first announced during

his state of the union months ago. it took a couple of months to get this pier. it comes together like a jigsaw puzzle. they shipped it across the ocean, and put it together, and anchored it into gaza in mid-may. since then, as you mentioned, kate, weather has really been a problem. at one point, the waves -- sea state in the mediterranean even damaging the pier to the point it had to be taken off line, fixed, and brought back several weeks later. since mid-may, it's really only been functioning for about 20 days. the military was aware and continues to be aware that weather does impact the operations here. but the reality is the officials we've been speaking to for weeks about this mission have said this was their best possible option, and they basically did the best that they could, kate. >> courtney kube, hala gorani, thanks to you both. the fbi and justice department are both

investigating a major data breach of at&t. the company says text message and call records from nearly all of its users were stolen by hackers. this affects more than 100 million cellular customers. nbc news business and data correspondent brian cheung is here with me. brian, this happened back in 2022, right? but at&t didn't disclose it until now. why the long delay there, and what's the company saying? >> the reason for the delay is because at&t says itself didn't realize the data breach happened until april of this year, and since that time they've been working with the law enforcement officials at the fbi and doj. now at&t said in the release this morning that they did apprehend at least one person that was linked to what they described as an illegal download of user data. as you mentioned, this is a huge breach. this would cover essentially anyone that was on at&t between may and october of 2022. this includes text messages and phone calls. i want to emphasize here, kate,

even though phone numbers were recovered by this data download, the content of those texts and phone calls were not part of this. basically, if i texted or called you during this period of time, they have those phone numbers, but they don't know what was said between them. it's pretty easy to map phone numbers to individual people. >> look it up on the internet. for all of us who have at&t phones, myself included, what can customers -- what should we do? >> at&t is advising people to be careful with any weird text messages or phone calls they might be receiving. it's possible somebody could be trying to phish you for your personal information, which they can link to phone numbers that may have been part of this breach. law enforcement officials at the doj and fbi are still looking into this. we don't know who did this or why they did that. that's an ongoing investigation. >> but they think it's not sitting out there for all to see at the moment. >> at&t saying it's not public, at least on their end. time now for today's cnbc

money minute. a rare mission failure for spacex and a beauty pageant victory for artificial intelligence. seema modi joins me now. hi, seema. >> that's right, a rare misstep for the spacex falcon 9 rocket. in a late night launch, the company said the engine failed to complete a second burn, which deploys the small satellite into a lower orbit than expected. the incident prompted the faa to temporarily ground the "falcon 9." consumers, in other news, may start to see snacks get cheaper after pepsi reported a drop in revenue. the company's ceo telling investors it will lower prices on some of its frito-lay brand. in an effort to attract value hunting shoppers who in an effort are really trying to shy away from buying snacks after multiple price increases, the winner of the first ever miss a.i. pageant is being announced

we have a dramatic twist in alec baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial. the actor's attorneys now are trying to get the whole case dismissed mid-trial. baldwin's legal team is accusing prosecutors today of burying evidence. the judge dismissed the jury for the weekend without them hearing any testimony today. joining me now is nbc news entertainment correspondent who has been following all of the. chloe, a lot of back and forth today. a huge surprise to a lot of people. walk us through exactly what

happened. >> kate, this is a massive moment. like you just said, the jury has gone home. and, you know, we were in the middle of this trial, expected to last eight days. baldwin's potentially facing 18 months behind bars for this manslaughter charge. and, you know, what is happening is that alec baldwin's legal team, kate, is saying that the prosecution, that the prosecutors in new mexico, withheld evidence. that a good samaritan game forward following hannah gutierrez-reed's trial with new evidence pertaining to the live rounds found on the new mexico set in 2021. baldwin's legal team saying they are just now hearing this and that this is a violation of something called brady. so, it's unclear if the judge is going to rule on this today and dismiss the case altogether, but this is a pivotal moment and a big win for baldwin's legal team right now. >> baldwin accused of

involuntary manslaughter. we will keep tracking that all afternoon. appreciate it. thanks, chloe. tens of millions of people across the country are once again dealing with dangerous weather today. and there doesn't appear to be any relief in sight this weekend. at least 13 people are now confirmed dead from the remnants of hurricane beryl. after a second person died in flooding in vermont. and even more severe rain and wind hitting new england today. behind the storm further west, we have unrelenting heat hammering the region. at least 38 heat-related deaths have been reported across six states. nbc news correspondent priscilla thompson following all the latest for us in houston. priscilla, beryl madelandfall four days ago now, but millions of people are still without power across the state. i think i even heard that you're without power yourself. talk about what that means no. air conditioning. and also why? why is it taking so long? >> reporter: yeah, kate.

i am among those without power. that means no air conditioning. a lot of folks aren't able to cook food and things like that at home. your refrigerators and freezers are not working. so, a lot of people having to throw away food. i just spoke with a family here at this distribution site who said that they threw away $600 worth of food, and they live on a fixed income. so, it is not as simple as just being able to replace all of that as soon as the power comes back on. and it is why we've seen thousands of people coming to sites like this. i'll step out of the way to give you a look at this distribution site, where they've given out 5,000 meals yesterday. they're looking to do another couple of thousand again today. people are coming here to get hot food, to get water, to get ice, to do whatever they can to stay cool and to keep cool. as you can see, it's a cloud -- it's cloudy right now. there was some rain that just came down in the past hour. so, on one hand, it has cooled things off. but on the other hand, that means that those employees that were trying to get up into these

poles and get these power lines restored were not able to work while that rain was coming down. this is the fastest they have been able to restore customers, hopes to restore another 400,000 tonight, by the end of today. people here are fed up, and they do not understand why it is taking so long, myself included. kate? >> i can only imagine, priscilla, that many days without air conditioning alone is tough. thank you so much. thanks for all the reporting. still ahead, the republican national convention is just days away. the high-profile guest expected the high-profile guest expected to be there, missing out on the things you love because of asthma? get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions. allergic reactions may occur. don't stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. tell your doctor if your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur.

there are critics. many saying the display of wealth and power only highlights the growing disparity between the rich and poor in india. >> an open minded person would say, okay, today we are celebrating the money they have. >> reporter: this man saying, what is there to say? we can see how the rich are spending their fortune. while they are spending millions, the poor are struggling to eat. after months of extravagant pre-wedding celebration, the big day is finally here. key roads are sealed off for the wedding featuring traditional hindu rituals taking place at mumbai's world convention center, built by the groom's family, a display of wealth creating a celebration to remember. and to give you some perspective here, the average cost of a wedding in india, $33,000. is, of course you compare this to a more than $300 million

wedding, and this is why people are criticizing this wedding, this display on twitter, saying that the richest man in asia also lives a few miles away from the slums, the same slums highlighted and depicted in the oscar winning film, "slumdog millionaire." they're saying this is the disparity of the haves and the have nots. this wedding culminates and comes to an end on sunday. back to you. it is time for some good news about the power of family connections and one man meeting the grown daughter he never even knew he had. >> it's in the back over here. >> reporter: this was the surprise moment. >> hi. >> my god. >> reporter: joseph flowers meeting his daughter, gabriella howard, for the very first time. >> you look so surprised. after 25 years, the hugs came

easy. holding on like they never wanted to let go. joyful tears. 25 years ago, gabriella was adopted by loving parents, but she'd always wondered about her birth dad. >> i was like, who is he? where's he from? what's he like? >> joseph never knew a woman he had briefly dated had gotten pregnant. but when gabriella took a dna test, she connected with joseph's cousin. >> i called my cousin up the next day. i told my wife, this is crazy, i might have a daughter. it was like having a child for the first time. it was like a newborn. it was really excited. it was like, oh, wow, she looks like me. >> hi. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: one week before joseph thought gabriella was coming to visit, his wife orchestrated the surprise. >> i could tell and i could feel, like, i was, you know, loved. you know, being able to hug and

everything, we both kind of just held on to each other for a second. >> reporter: for joseph, things make more sense now. >> a piece of me i always felt something was off. her coming back, it just kind of solidified that missing piece. i feel whole now. >> my gosh, she looks just like me. >> reporter: they realize how much they have in common. >> favorite color is blue. we both love burgers. outdoors, i'm a huge outdoors fan. >> her favorite snack is popcorn, like mine. >> and red vine, like yours. >> the licorice? >> yeah. >> that's obscure. >> joseph lives in california, gabriella in idaho with the parents and three brothers she's always known. they want everyone to meet, including joseph's wife, daughter, and two step children. >> i want to share everything with her, grandkids and get married. she'll have two dads walking her down the aisle. that's fine with me. >> oh boy, yeah. >> i love this story so much. as we mentioned, gabriella's adoptive parents were

supersupportive of her seeking out her biological father. she's hoping to visit california to see joseph once more this fall. they told me they're planning to go for hikes and go fishing. do you have a good news story to feature on nbc news daily? you can connect with me on your favorite social media platform, any of them pretty much. i am @tvkatesnow. coming up, why some of the nation's smallest kids are

in today's mental health check, we are right in the middle of summer break, and a lot of us aren't thinking about school just yet. but there is new research that's important about the pandemic's effect on small children, those who were babies, toddlers, and preschoolers during the pandemic. now some of them are school aged. "the new york times" interviewed early childhood experts. they depicted a generation less likely to have age-appropriate skills, "the times" writes, to be able to hold a pencil, communicate needs, identify shapes and letters, manage their emotions, or solve problems with peers, unquote. joining me now, dr. robi ludwig. dr. robi, we're talking about young kids who weren't even mostly in school during the

pandemic. and now we're seeing -- what is this impact? >> so, when these pandemic babies, you know, came into the world, the whole world was shut down. and there was a lot of anxiety and a lot of stress. their world was not the same. and they couldn't see people talk, so their linguistic skills were impacted. they didn't have play dates. so, now, in school, we're seeing some of the challenges that they're having in term of their social and emotional growth. so, we see that there's less exposure to people, lower preschool attendance, more time on screens, and less time playing. and this all added up to what we're seeing now. >> yeah. it kind of makes sense when you think about it. i think about my older kids who were in high school and the impact it had on them. of course it's going to affect the early years. these early years are critical for brain development, right? so, what can teachers and parents do to try to help them catch up? >> so, the good news is that we

can catch up. and it's by talking to our kids, creating play dates, so making up for lost time, reading stories to your kids, making sure that they're physical. reduce screen time. that was a big challenge in terms of attention and fine motor skills. it's really about helping them regulate their emotions as well, which parents are really good at doing. so, you know, it's really nice to know that these interventions can take place and parents are in a great position to operate and institute them. >> yeah. we have control to some extent. you mentioned screen time. i want to ask because research is finding that even after the lockdowns ended, screentime was still at a higher level than it used to be pre-covid. can that be reversed? can parents take back the ipad? how do we deal with that? >> absolutely.

absolutely. you know, kids want to be around their parents. so, if you take the screen away and say, we're going to put this away, we're going to play a game, we are going to tell stories, we're going to look at a movie together. all of those ideas are really appealing to kids. so, parents just need to get on board. it's easy to say, look at the screen, just like it was easy to say, look at the television. >> sure, sure. >> but we know it has a negative impact, or potentially, then we may want to try other thing. >> dr. robi ludwig, always good to have you. >> thank you. always good to be here. >> happy friday. there's much more news ahead. you're watching "nbc news daily."
