preparing to wrap up its case here at the courthouse, overnight, a new police incident imflamed tensions just north of here. the national guard was on the move and a curfew was in effect. overnight, outrage boiled over in minnesota with tensions already high during the derek chauvin murder trial, now new anger when police fatally shot a black man in brooklyn center, ten miles from where george floyd was killed. police say the man had a warrant for his arrest. when officers tried to take him into custody, he got back in his vehicle. relatives identified the man as 20-year-old dante wright and say after he was shot wright drove several blocks before crashing his car. frustration mounting quickly. >> dante, just like george floyd, it doesn't matter what you do. you don't deserve to be murdered. >> police and activists facing

off at the scene. >> we have been tracking both shots fired and break-in calls in minneapolis. >> reporter: authorities say there were reports of rocks and other objects thrown at officers as well as shots fired near the police department prompting the deployment of more national guard members to a region already on high alert. minnesota's governor tweeting overnight, our state mourns another life of a black man taken by law enforcement. it all comes as the prosecution is preparing to rest its case against chauvin as early as today. >> floyd had this great deep southern voice. >> reporter: the jury hearing from 35 witnesses over two weeks indicate nekding unprecedented testimony from police officers breaking the blue wall. and medical experts insisting floyd did not die from drugs and underlying medical conditions as the defense is arguing. >> there's no argument to suggest he would have died that night except for the interactions with law enforcement. >> reporter: floyd's family is now bracing for another

emotional week in a case the world is watching. >> this is a very difficult time, especially these past couple of weeks, so we are just grateful for everybody that's here to support us. >> and of all times for another police shooting to happen, gabe. when do you expect to know more about that? is there an investigation? >> reporter: yeah, savannah, the minnesota bureau of criminal apprehension is being asked to look into the shooting. now, that is the same agency that investigated george floyd's death. the local police chief says that he believes that body camera and dash cam video was available from the incident, so they'll be looking into that. but for this community, savannah, as you mentioned, this is a very painful time, especially as this murder trial is underway. savannah. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you very much. we appreciate it. moving now to the coronavirus and the race between vaccines and variants.

nearly half of all u.s. adults have received at least one dose of the covid-19 vaccine, but at the same time some health officials remain concerned about the possibility of a fourth wave. we'll talk about that with dr. richard besser, the former acting director of the cdc, but first nbc's tom costello joins us with more on where things stand. hey, tom, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, we're really at this inflection point right now because deaths are down 26%, vaccinations are picking up, but so are new cases up 11% over the last two weeks, and now we have a situation where the new uk variant is sweeping through the upper midwest. this morning promising new figures with more than 4.6 million vaccine doses administered just on saturday, a new record. but even with more shots into arms, covid cases are also up in more than half the country. >> we are not out of this yet. we had 80,000 new infections the

other day. now is not the time to declare victory prematurely. >> reporter: in the new epicenter, michigan, hospitals are inching closer to capacity, as the governor fights for more vaccine. >> if we could get more vaccines in arms. what's happening in michigan today could be what's happening in other states tomorrow. >> reporter: cases also on the rise in florida where a defiant crowd burned their masks. meanwhile, this week the amount of johnson & johnson vaccine supply is plummeting by 86% after manufacturing problems dropping from more than 4 million distributed last week to just over 700,000. more than one in four adults are now fully vaccinated as states continue to expand vaccine eligibility. in connecticut, a 24-hour vax-a-thon this weekend resulted

in nearly 4,000 shots administered. >> i'm happy. i've been waiting for months and months. >> reporter: more vaccinations as the fight against the stubborn pandemic continues. also this morning, a few vaccine sites in four states are pausing the johnson & johnson vaccine rollout because of a very small number of people who have developed some sort of side effects, nausea and dizziness. now, we should make the point that three vaccines of course are approved in the u.s. serious adverse side effects are really pretty rare. that sets us up nicely for dr. richard besser. he is now president and ceo of the robert wood johnson foundation. dr. besser, good morning to you. sometimes i think about this as a race on two tracks, the virus on one track, the vaccine's on the other. here we got this great news about this surge of vaccines, almost 5 million in one single day over the weekend, and at the same time, we still have the virus surging. the b.1.1.7 uk variant, which is

much more contagious is now the dominant strain, so who's winning? how worried are you about a fourth surge? >> yeah, you know, savannah, it is a race, and those are competing forces. so i was excited to see the numbers in terms of people being vaccinated over the weekend, and it lets me know that the demand for vaccine is still there and that's been one of the big concerns, but that variant that was found in the uk is very concerning. it spreads easier. it is more deadly, and i worry when i see states letting up. you know, dr. fauci was saying it is premature to declare victory, especially when we see cases going up in a number of states. some states are experiencing what you might call a fourth surge because you can really look at the curb and see that dramatic increase. the states that are seeing the declines, it doesn't mean they're not going to see the rise. some of those states are the states that have had the lowest uptake in vaccine. that means their population is still at risk.

if we can keep at this and keep the measures in place that public health has shown will work while we're vaccinating people, we can save thousands of lives before this pandemic is over. >> let me ask you about michigan because it is seeing a tremendous surge right now. the michigan governor, gretchen whitmer asked the biden white house to surge vaccines to michigan. it's our understanding the white house declined and is going to continue with its policy of distributing vaccine based on your population. what's the thinking there? is that the right call? >> yeah, this is a challenging one. if there's excess vaccine or there's vaccine in states that's not being used, and we're hearing about some states where the supply is getting to the point where it's exceeding demand, then i think trying to get it into states being hit really hard makes a lot of sense. you have to look and see can those states handle an increase in number of people for vaccination and is the dmapd demand there. right now what we're seeing is

the supply system that's out there is leading to the numbers we saw over the weekend, with 5 million people getting vaccinated in one day, and you don't want to mess with that. if there is a place that's getting hit really hard, a public health response is give them the resources they need so they can address that. >> and real quickly, let's talk about the johnson & johnson vaccine and i'll mention, again, you're the ceo of the wood johnson foundation which has an interest in johnson & johnson the company, there's been a problem with that production in the baltimore facility, which means that the vaccinations -- the vaccine that's being distributed has been sharply declining this week, and then also these adverse effects. what do you make of it? >> well, it's a big problem. this is a vaccine where you can provide coverage with one dose, and many states have been counting on this. there's been great interest in this vaccine and the fact that there will be, you know, millions of doses not getting to people on schedule is going to be a problem for many states. you know, the amount of vaccine

coming from moderna and pfizer can't meet that shortfall, so you know, we're going to have to see states adjusting. it may be that some people who have appointments are going to have to rebook. >> all right, dr. besser, thank you very much. appreciate it as always. >> thank you, savannah. >> after a two-week recess, congress returns to the u.s. capitol today, and lawmakers are facing a number of hot button issues including the battle over immigration and president biden's $2 trillion infrastructure plan. nbc's kelly o'donnell is at the white house for us this morning. hi, kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, hoda. president biden has talked a lot about bipartisanship and his ability to work with republicans, which will make today's meeting an important test of that promise. the president and vice president invited members of congress from both parties here today, not the big name leadership but lawmakers who have experience with issues relevant to infrastructure. this morning the infrastructure debate is building as the white house will open its doors to

congressional republicans and democrats. >> debate is welcome. compromise is inevitable. changes are certain. >> reporter: republicans pushing back oaf the president's proposal raising corporate taxes to pay for his $2 trillion plan, and they argue the scope should be narrowed. >> if they're interested in roads and bridges and highways and perhaps broadband, there is a deal to be had there. >> reporter: the white house wants action this summer. >> we're going to negotiate, but we can't just sit here and let the clock run out. >> reporter: at the southern border, the human drama continues, now more than 20,000 unaccompanied children are in government care. two emergency shelters opened in michigan and pennsylvania. texas governor, republican greg abbott. >> this problem will continue to get worse because of the policies that have been adopted by the biden administration. >> reporter: immigration, a core

issue for donald trump who fired up republican party donors behind closed doors at mar-a-lago this weekend. sources say mr. trump cursed about mitch mcconnell, also calling the republican leader a stone cold loser and said he was disappointed in his own vice president mike pence attacking both men for not overturning the election outcome. trump persisted in his false claims that he had won. republican liz cheney says trump's rhetoric is still dangerous. >> the former president is using the same language that he knows provoked violence on january 6th. you know, as a party, we need to be focused on the future. >> reporter: back here at the white house, one name is missing from today's bipartisan meeting, west virginia democrat senator joe manchin who's become a pivotal swing vote with an outside level of influence. officials say the president will hold a series of these meetings so more invitations to come. hoda. >> all right, kelly o'donnell

william's came just 30 minutes earlier saying, my grandfather was an extraordinary man. i feel lucky to have not just had his example to guide me but his enduring presence well into my adult life. prince philip, a war veteran, proud patriarch and queen's consort lived his life in public but died friday quietly and in private. so gentle his daughter-in-law told church goers. the family say the queen is stoic, bearing up, thinking of others. on saturday she will say good-bye to her husband during a televised funeral with military honors and 30 guests. william and harry will walk with the family behind the coffin just as they did for their mom diana. this week the two princes will meet for the first time since that explosive oprah interview. >> there's a lot of hurt that's happened. >> reporter: the former british prime minister calling on the brothers to end any friction between them. >> and i hope very much that it

is possible to mend any rifts that may exist. >> reporter: their body language will be closely watched just as it was in 2020, the last official occasion william and harry were seen together when they barely spoke. meghan was there then. she has not flown back with her husband this week, her doctor advising against it because she is pregnant. so harry will face his family and the loss of his much loved grandfather without his wife and son beside him. a day that will not be easy for any member of the royal family, most of all the queen. and prince harry should be released from quarantine just in time for the funeral. prince william in his statement describing his grandfather as picking up his children in a carriage, praising his sense of adventure and his mischievous sense of humor, and saying at the end of his statement, guys, i will miss my grandpa but know he would want us to get on witha the job.stle, thank you. >> keir simmons for us there at joining us now is dais windsor castle, thank you, mcandrews, an nbc news royal commentator. good morning

joining us now is journalist good to see you. we learned some about the funeral arrangements, but will daisy mcandrew, an nbc news royal commentator. we learned some about the ngeme you explain what's going to be happening, who will be speaking, who will be attending? >> so details are still coming out, and we expect we'll know all the details within the next 24 -- what we know as keir was saying is that the royal family is adamant they will be sticking to the rules which means no more than 30 guests. that doesn't include the members of the church of england who will be officiating the service or the camera men and so on, but 30 is a very small number, if you think that the queen has four children, three of them are married, and then they have eight grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. we know none of the great grandchildren will be attending, so that includes prince george. of course kate and william's

son, then we would expect some ladies in waiting, perhaps the private private chaplain and certainly the private secretary of prince philip to be at the funeral. >> it will be in some ways a small family funeral i don't know if we just lost you there, daisy are you still with me? just heard a loud tone. >> i am. -- today >> no worries, no worries, so let me ask you because of course the most important task here is to give a proper good-bye to prince philip, but of course everyone's going to be watching that body language among the royals, particularly the two brothers what's your expectation about how this week will go and what it might mean to repairing rifts? >> you're absolutely right, and we heard just yesterday from former prime minister of the united kingdom, john major, saying publicly he hoped this rift would be resolved during the funeral.

and that's not insignificant because john major was actually the official guardian to princes william and harry after their mother died, so he 'cdoes know h young men very, very well, and he was publicly imploring them to kiss and make up if you like. stories here in -- that prince harry has arrived in london. we believe he's been taken to kensington palace. we don't yet know where he'll be staying over the next few days of course he has a home called frogmore cottage on the grounds of windsor castle, but it's being sublet if you like at the moment to princess beatrice and her husband and baby it does have five bedrooms he could easily stay there with them, or they might move out and move in with prince andrew, their father, and father-in-law. lots of question marks so far, and as keir was saying, he will have to isolate over the next few days, but at the funeral on saturday absolutely all eyes will be on the body language,s

relationship between princes harry, and everybody keeping their fingers crossed that they can resolve their differences. >> yeah, all right daisy, thank you so much we appreciate your insight we will have a lot more coming up on this in our next half hour. coming up next, inside the reopening of america, sheinelle in philadelphia this morning giving aus fius a firsthand loot the triumph and struggles of the city looking to get back on its feet in realtime she's talking to business owners, doctors, even joining the mayor for a vaccine shot ms. philadelphia, there she is, sheinelle jones is coming up from her adopted hometown, but first these messages ♪ ♪ love like yours will surely come my way ♪

they had never gone where does hurricane come from where does hurricane come from >> dylan, i was the first storm chaser for the weather channel that was back in the '80s. they had never gone outside to shoot the weather, and i talked them into letting me borrow the car and a photographer drive down to the coast and get blown around in a hurricane. few years later, showed it on tv, and the anchorman just started calling me that. the nickname stuck. >> it stuck ever since we're not talking hurricanes, but you have the forecast for us today. >> no, it's a little chilly for hurricanes it is in the 40s here. it is windy. it just started drizzling. it is miserable. if you think that it is bad here, look at the rest of the northeast. at least we're not getting a steady rain. we're in the 40s look at new england, rain and wind and cold. this weather stinks. big area of low pressure up over the great lakes. now, for the rest of the country, things are a lot quieter. nice and warm down south

some isolated severe storms in texas. believe it or not, snow and wind up in the dakotas. a whole bunch of nothing going on out west. but then that's a problem because they got a drought that's getting worse and the fire danger getting worse. here out west. we will see more of the sunshine in the forecast as we take a live look out there now in san jose. and we are still looking at mild weather, at least for our inland areas. it warmed up into the upper 70s. still cool along the coast with highs in the low 60s. as we go through the forecast, reaching 80 today but little cooler tomorrow as the winds pick up and our dry weather continues through the end of the weekend. >> glenn, i forgot to tell you, when you give a bad forecast, savannah usually throws paper at

you. be happy you're not here in the studio i know you were working from home, doing the weather and the news from home for a year. what was it like once you returned back to studio? >> i'll tell ya, it's like a whole different world. i was couped up in a house, sitting in a chair with a computer in front of me for a year i couldn't get up and walk around, you know, how we love to point to weather maps and -- none of that you're just stuck. it is like being in prison i mean, it was a nice prison, but it was still a prison. now, i'm free. i'm fully vaccinated, and i'm free the world is a much better place. >> even in prison, glenn, you were rocking the bow ties the whole time you are known for wearing those. how many do you have >> well, just so happens that i had a little spare time during

the past year. got to count them. the last time i counted, it was 176. >> wow >> yeah. >> well, you wear it well, my friend glenn, thank you so much for doing the weather this morning making my job a little easier. >> all right thanks for inviting me. >> hurricane. >> glenn, you are top drawer that was an awesome forecast we loved it. >> it was your optimism. >> the weather stinks, but you're still smiling. >> we love it. >> thank you, glenn. >> and there's the drought >> thank you. guys, coming up next, kate snow is going to join us with an eye-opening, new look inside one of the country's most infamous families

this is a no-nonsense message from three. small business insurance is usually so complicated,

you need to be a lawyer to understand it. that's why three was created. it's a better kind of business insurance. it's only three pages. straightforward. if you own it, three covers it. got a cheese slice for "spokesperson?" that's me. i don't even need to see what's happening behind me to know it's covered. (screaming) this commercial is now over. logo. three. no nonsense. just common sense. welcome back a new book is out, focusing on the famous family, the sacklers, who founded purdue pharma, made a fortune, and gave generously to museums and universities. >> now, their name is tied to

the painkiller oxycontin nbc's senior national correspondent kate snow has more kate, there's a lot in this book zp >> reporter: there sure is a staff writer for the "new yorker" says that over two years, he spoke with more than 200 people, combed through tens of thousands of documents, some never seen before. he told me he wanted to pull the curtain back on the secrets of one of america's wealthiest families he tells the story of three brothers from brooklyn the eldest, arthur, and his little brothers, mortimer and raymond. after arthur passed, the younger brothers and their descendents made billions off purdue pharma's painkiller oxycontin. "empire of pain" paints a stark picture of the sackler family, owners of purdue pharma. their wealth, privilege, and access to power, according to the author, helping them even now escape serious accountability you write about one member of the family saying, i'm short on cash i might need $10 million to get me through that's normal in their universe.

>> right this is mortimer sackler, jr he had a point where i guess he overextended himself, and need ed more cash he needed to go to the family trust. he said, i'm a little short on cash i need just $10 million. he said, $20 million, max. >> reporter: this is not your average family. >> it is not >> reporter: patrick says multiple sources compared the sacklers to the fictional family in hbo's "succession." >> i take over you two under me. >> under you >> can we think about it >> reporter: it is the rise and fall of a dynasty, a family that was a family of immigrants early on a century ago they wanted to make their mark make their mark in new york. they did end up having a huge impact, but i think, ultimately, a very tragic one. >> reporter: more than 2,000 lawsuits have accused purdue pharma of aggressively marketing its opioid painkiller oxycontin and contributing to the opioid crisis keith cites this 1997 email included in court filings, in which a purdue executive tells then member of the board, richard sackler, they're well

aware of the view held by physicians that oxycodone, the main ingredient in oxycontin is weaker than morphine >> they know it isn't true it is stronger than morphine you see the internal emails where they say, this is weird. america's doctors seem to be under the mistaken impression that this new drug we want to offer is weaker. let's not do anything to make them realize that's not true >> reporter: the purdue official writes, it would be extremely dangerous at this early stage in the life of this product to make physicians think the drug is stronger or equal to morphine. purdue representatives declined to comment for this story. richard sackler later said in a deposition that the email conversation was misinterpreted. you describe the family wanting to change the culture and essentially tell people that oxycontin, opioid drugs are safe and not going to hurt them. >> the sacklers and their company, purdue pharma, set out to prove to the american medical establishment that their fears

about the addictive properties of these drugs were overblown. >> reporter: people close to the sackler family point out that oxycontin's label always referred to the potential for addiction, and that the product, which is still on the market, has helped millions of people with chronic pain. in 2010, purdue reformulated oxycontin to make it harder to abuse. representatives of sackler family members who served on purdue's board in recent years say they acted ethically and lawfully at a virtual congressional hearing in december, david and kathy sackler argued the family relied on purdue management. >> let me conclude by saying this what you've heard by the press about the sacklers is most certainly wrong and highly distorted. >> i have to say, i can't -- there is nothing that i can find that i would have done differently. >> reporter: after nearly every state sued, purdue filed for bankruptcy, a proposed settlement would put the company in a public trust with all future profits going towards abatement of the opioid crisis

as part of the proposed deal, the sacklers would pay more than $4 billion $4 billion is a lot of money. >> that's a lot of money there's another way of looking at it too, though, is that it's not that much. they walk away with all the rest of the fortune they've derived >> reporter: the sackler family will likely object to much of what you write in this book. >> i'm sure they will. yeah part of what i wanted to do in the book was - >> reporter: they would say it is inaccurate. >> they will i think that, you know, there's a lot of things you can buy if you're a billionaire i think you can buy your own version of justice but you cannot squander the truth. you cannot stifle the truth. >> reporter: a representative for the mortimer sackler branch of the sackler family told us our focus is on concluding a resolution that will provide help to people and communities in need rather than on this book and an attorney for the raymond sackler branch said this author has refused to correct errors in his past reporting, and

blatantly violated journalistic efforts by refusing to meet with representatives for the sackler family during the reporting of his book u patrick radden keefe said he never refused to meet with them. it is worth noting, to date, no sackler family members have already been charged with any crime related to oxycontin >> you talked about the settlement there, kate is there any legal exposure, future legal battles for the sackler family, or is it case closed >> reporter: this is interesting, savannah. it is a proposed deal. it is not set yet. under that deal, the sacklers would be shielded from future lawsuits, but there's now a proposed bill in the u.s. house that would close a loophole in bankruptcy law, preventing that from happening, preventing individuals like the sacklers from getting that kind of release from future lawsuits savannah >> kate snow, thank you very much >> a lot going on there. thanks, kate. ahead, more of our reopening america series with sheinelle live in philly she recruited the legendary patti labelle. amazing. to give us a taste of the city
