>> indeed. including the harsh reality that it is still very much a global crisis right now, india is being devastated by a new outbreak, with medical supplies greatly needed, including oxygen richard engel is live with the latest. and some help could be on the way. the white house says it will begin sharing its entire stock of 60 million doses of the astrazeneca vaccine with the rest of the world, once it clears federal safety reviews here the u.s. has already sent about 4 million doses to mexico and canada here in the u.s., it is expected to be a big day in the mask debate. the white house set to release guidance on when you need to wear them outdoors we have complete coverage on what we should expect. we'll start with nbc's tom costello tom, good morning. >> reporter: hey, guys good morning how many masks do you have laying around? i have them in my car, in my briefcase, all in my coat pockets. we're supposed to wear them outside if you are too close to

somebody else. now, though, we know that, in fact, most inside transmissions are what cause covid fewer than 10% of cases occur outside. so the mask rule is about to change heading outside with no mask could soon be no problem president biden and the cdc hours away now from issuing new public health guidance on wearing masks outdoors that announcement could get separate recommendations for the fully vaccinated and for those who have not yet been inoculated. >> for the most part, they're going with the science we have seen almost no cases of transmission that can be linked to people outside. >> reporter: on monday, white house chief medical adviser dr. anthony fauci acknowledged the risk of contracting covid outdoors is very low. >> the risk of infection outside is really minimal. if you're vaccinated and you're outside, it's even less. >> reporter: the cdc says you're

less likely to be exposed to covid-19 during outdoor activities, even without the use of masks when you stay at least 6 feet apart from people who don't live with you, and also when you limit your time around others. but for so many of us, wearing a mask has become so routine you obviously are comfortable being outside. you're wearing a mask. you guys aren't. >> everybody has our masks. >> reporter: yeah? >> but i wear mine all the time. >> reporter: your comfort level could also depend on where you live covid cases are on the rise now in 11 states more than 95 million americans are fully vaccinated more than 140 million have received at least one dose but the cdc says the average number of daily covid shots has dropped 18% since earlier this month. at supersites equipped to inoculate thousands every day, the surge is slowing concern over the 8% of americans who got their first dose but are

skipping the second. >> it almost sounds like we're to the point now where we can start resuming our normal live >> we are at a point where we can resume normal lives and fully expect the president to reinforce that, as well as to emphasize that he is still hoping that july 4th will be an important milestone for many americans to have normal activities >> reporter: in fact, memorial day may start to feel more normal already, some states are suggesting they're going to lift their outdoor mask mandates, including kentucky that goes into effect today, especially if you're in a crowd of fewer than 1,000 people guys, back to you. >> tom, thank you. want to bring in dr. ashish jha, the dean of brown university's school of public health. good to see you. you're pretty plugged in what do you expect when the cdc announces these new recommendations regarding outdoor mask wearing >> good morning, savannah. thanks for having me on. i am pretty confident the cdc is going to pull back some of the mask mandates for outdoors, as dr. fauci said in the last piece.

very, very few infections happen outdoors if they happen, they happen in large, crowded gatherings, rallies, packed events if you can avoid those, you don't have to be wearing a mask when you're outside. that's especially true for people who are vaccinated. so i expect all of that to be reflected in the cdc's guidance today. >> let's say i'm walking down the street here in new york. they talked about, okay, you don't have to wear a mask outside potentially, but try to maintain the 6 feet of distance. what if you're walking by, on a sidewalk, and you breathe by somebody i mean, do you have to wear a mask if that is going to happen, or is it really about a congregant setting for an extended period of time? >> yeah, so distance, of course, matters, but timing also matters. if you walk by somebody, you run by somebody, you are not going to be at risk of picking up covid. it's if you stand next to someone for 20 minutes and have a close conversation at very close distance, then there is a small risk if you're vaccinated, even that

risk really, really disappears walking by somebody is just not a risk running by somebody just isn't a risk we can really relax about those things. >> we await the cdc guidelines dr. jha, i want to have you stand by what is happening in india right now is nothing short of a crisis an alarming surge of new infections, 325,000 per day, and just yesterday, the country reported nearly 3,000 deaths nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel is on the story for us. richard, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah a very alarming surge. in fact, it is the biggest surge of covid cases anywhere since the pandemic began hospitals are struggling to provide people with oxygen, which is so critical for ventilation treatment. a note of caution, some viewers might find some of the images in this report somewhat disturbing. at a hospital in delhi, keeping people alive means one thing, oxygen, and they don't have nearly enough.

>> we have not seen so many fatalities in the icu, and the . i drugs we don't have anything patients are dying. >> reporter: patients line the halls, twice as many as before, and these are just the ones who managed to get in. >> the situation is critical right now. this pandemic is the worst we have ever seen these two weeks are going to be hell for us. >> reporter: hospitals are so full and lack so many basic supplies, people are turning wherever they can. this sikh temple in delhi has a few precious oxygen tanks. people come from miles just for a few breaths. this man weak and motionless has been trying to get care for eight days, but he has been turned away by hospitals >> no more beds. no more beds >> reporter: his brother tries to keep him alive and conscious.

he's not a medic but won't give up others die while they wait for care that never comes. the government is surging testing, so these are now in short supply, too. in kolkata, every second person is testing positive. help is coming to delhi. a train dubbed the oxygen express arrived, traveling 700 miles to bring 70 tons from an outlying province. prime minister narendra modi tweeted that he spoke with president biden on monday and thanked him for his support. president biden ordered vaccine raw materials and medical supplies to be immediately deployed he intends to make up to 60 million doses of the astrazeneca vaccine, not yet approved in the u.s., available to other countries. the hope, some will go to india, where they are so desperately needed only 2% of india's enormous population is fully vaccinated, which means the virus is spreading more or less

uncontrolled, which is the perfect condition for new variants to emerge, potentially spread to the united states, including variants that could be more resistant to vaccines savannah >> richard, thank you. let's go back to dr. jha we look at that, and it's shocking the u.s. has stepped up, talking about sending ppe, oxygen, more test kits. what kind of impact do you think it'll have >> yeah, so i think it will be helpful. again, the size of the problem is enormous, so no one country, not even the united states alone can help this situation. germany, uk, the saudis, australia, others are pitching in, which i think is terrific. india has a lot of internal capacity to ramp up its own production that will be helpful but this is a full-blown crisis, and you really need everybody playing an important role here. >> look, india helped us in our hour of need to help them now, it is the right thing to do. it is the moral thing to do. so let's just say that

but aside from that, can you explain why it is also in the u.s. interest to stop an outbreak like this, particularly when you're talking about a virus that's multiplying and variants are, you know, happening all the time >> yeah, absolutely. first and foremost, absolutely right. it's the right thing to do beyondis that variants arise when you have large, uncontrolled outbreaks. and the best way to prevent new variants, including variants that may be resistant to our vaccines, is to stop the large outbreak india has a very large population, large infection numbers happening right now. it is in the whole world's interest to get this virus under control. >> dr. jha, thank you so much. we appreciate your time, as always. >> thank you now to new details on that fatal police shooting that's led to a state of emergency in north carolina andrew brown, jr., was shot and killed by sheriff's deputies last week as they attempted to serve warrants on drug charges overnight, protesters were back in the streets of elizabeth city, calling for the public release of body camera video of

the incident this after brown's family was privately shown a very short clip nbc's kerry sanders has the very latest hey, kerry good morning >> reporter: good morning, hoda. it will now be up to a judge here at the courthouse to determine whether all nine or more body camera videos will be released to the public 42-year-old andrew brown's family says the 20-second clip they have seen is far from enough, but they say what they did see, to them, is damning evidence that deputies overreacted. overnight, peaceful protests again in elizabeth city, north carolina andrew brown's family demanding that authorities in pasquotank county release all the body shooting at the hands of atal deputies last week. the sheriff's office gave the family and their lawyers a

private viewing. but the family says they were only allowed to see one 20-second clip. what did you see? >> an execution. >> reporter: execution. describe it. >> it was horrific. you know, you see a person trying to get away, and the cops shooting at him. you know, that's not right. he was in no harm at all. it's very clear in the video. >> reporter: family lawyers believe there may be as many as nine body cams, as well as dash cams. they say the video appears to show brown with his hands on his car's steering wheel before he was killed, and that he was shot from behind. >> a black person being shot in the back is almost like a cliche in america. >> reporter: these grainy images snapped by a witness show the aftermath. brown's windshield with at least four bullet holes. the shooting unfolded early wednesday when deputies were attempting to serve a warrant on brown for allegedly selling illegal drugs.

ashley beckdale, married to brown's cousin, say she witnessed it happen from her upstairs bedroom. >> they crowded around his car. they shot -- were shooting the front window of his car. >> reporter: seven deputies have been placed on administrative leave, while authorities investigate. >> this tragic incident was quick and over in less than 30 seconds, and body cameras are shaky and sometimes hard to decipher. >> andrew brown did what you teach your children to do when we have the talk, which is to comply. he put his hands on the steering wheel when he was being shot. >> reporter: lawyers for the brown family say andrew brown had no gun, no drugs. you heard attorney ben crump say he was shot from behind. the family has commissioned a private autopsy, and the results could be released as early as today. hoda? >> all right. kerry sanders for us. thank you. also this morning, the first numbers from the 2020 census are

out, and they show the nation's political center of gravity shifting farther to the republican-led south and west. craig joins us with a closer look at that and what it means. good morning. >> good morning. good morning to you, as well. the census count has far-reaching implications for the country on many levels, including potentially tipping the balance of power between political parties. it decides how many congressional seats and electoral college votes each state gets. right now, states in the south and west are growing the fastest, which seems to give republicans the upper hand. texas will gain two congressional seats. others including florida and north carolina picked up one. some democratic strongholds will lose a seat. seven states total, notably california and new york. this could eventually impact who holds the house of representatives, where democrats of course, right now, have a slim majority. one interesting note here, if new york had tallied just 89 more people in its population, it would not have lost a seat in

this latest count. savannah? >> craig, thank you. another big story in politics, the president's first speech to congress tonight night. we want to remind you, nbc news will bring it to you. special live coverage beginning at 9:00 eastern, 6:00 pacific. it is coming up on 7:17. why don't we get our first check of the forecast? mr. roker, we like talking warm weather. >> well, most of us. >> oh, come on already! >> oh, come on, let me finish! two-thirds of us are going to see warmer weather, but our friends in the southwest, a little on the cooler side. temperatures are anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees below average. but it's not all about us. yes, it is. all right. so warm for april. take a look. kansas city, you're going to be 82 degrees. that's 14 degrees above average. st. louis, 85. 84 in nashville. cincinnati, 84. d.c., 13 degrees above average at 84 degrees. then we move into tomorrow. look at these warm temperatures. new york city, finally, baby,

it is well-established that students do have free speech rights at school, though they can be punished if what they say is disruptive. what if it is something they say away from school, especially on social media that's what this case is about when brandi levy was a ninth grader in pennsylvania, she discovered one saturday that she did not make the varsity cheerleading team and would remain on the junior squad she lashed as on social media. on snapchat, she posted a photo of herself and a friend making a rude gesture, and she wrote a word we can't say on tv. blank school blank softball, blank cheer, blank everything >> i was a 14-year-old kid expressing how i felt. that's how kids do it. they do it over social media >> reporter: she assumed the message would quickly vanish, but a classmate took a screenshot and showed it to her mother, who happened to be one of the high school cheerleading coaches.

brandi was suspended from the junior varsity team. she and her parents sued, saying the school shouldn't be able to punish her for off-campus expression the federal courts agreed. the school district said schools must be able to take action against any speech that's a threat, especially when social media is so pervasive and children are off campus when they attend class by remote learning. >> we want to make sure that the supreme court doesn't paint with a brush that is so broad that it limits the ability of schools to address the very important question of speech that is bullying speech or harassing speech >> reporter: brandi levy's dad has another reason for hoping off-campus restriction isn't restricted. >> that's how us parents learn what's going on with our children's lives, through social media. we see posts or what they're doing or how they're feeling >> reporter: the court will hear the case tomorrow with a decision by late june, and the ruling will affect free speech rights for generations of young people to come, who are increasingly spending their

lives online and social media, savannah >> one thing that's noteworthy is the support she's gotten, and it runs across the political spectrum. >> reporter: hundreds of groups siding with her, all the way from people concerned about free expression to those who are worried about campus speech codes. by the way, the biden administration is siding with the school district, saying it doesn't matter where disruptive expression comes from, savannah. >> all right pete williams. thank you very much. when we come back, an eye-opening look inside one of the largest crackdowns on the italian mob ever >> keir simmons with exclusive access to the police and prosecutors fighting at any cost to bring down one of the world's most powerful groups that's right after this.

outdoors nbc's tom costello joins us now with the very latest tom, good morning. >> hey, hoda the mask debate has been raging for months the white house guidance, in collaboration with the cdc, is expected to make a distinction between those who have been vaccinated and those who haven't yet. the data is showing your risk of contracting covid outdoors is really very low. fewer than 10% of cases right now originate with outdoor infections you're 19 times more likely to be infected indoors. all of this, of course, is happening as more and more americans are vaccinated 95 million americans now fully vaccinated that's a big number. 140 million americans have at least one dose so today, we expect president biden and the cdc to lay out the new guidance on outdoor mask wearing as we head into warmer and warmer weather by the way, some states are already starting to revise their

outdoor mask mandate, some dropping them all together kentucky, effective today, dropping the mask mandate for outside, unless you're in a crowd of greater than 1,000 people back to you. >> tom costello, thank you. the police department in louisville, kentucky, where breonna taylor was killed, is now the second police force in the past week to come under federal investigation. nbc's gabe gutierrez spoke with breonna's mother about the latest developments. gabe, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. first, minneapolis, now louisville, both cities under scrutiny by the justice department for potential bias and excessive force. officials say more will follow more than a year after breonna taylor was shot to death in her own apartment during a botched effort to serve a search warrant, mayor garland says an investigation of the louisville police department is under way >> all of these steps will be

taken with one goal in mind, to ensure that policing policies and practices are constitutional and lawful >> reporter: the investigation will cover racial bias and legal stops and searches, unlawful warrants, unreasonable force, including against peaceful protesters, and police training and policies louisville's mayor and police chief say they welcome the probe. >> good officers will welcome this announcement and see it as an exciting time to be part of reform and transformation. >> i think that it is necessary because police reform, quite honestly, is needed in near every agency across the country. >> reporter: it comes after the doj announced a similar investigation of the minneapolis police department last week following the conviction of derek chauvin for the murder of george floyd investigators also looked at the ferguson pd after the killing of michael brown, and the chicago pd after laquan mcdonald's more than 70 such investigations

since the mid-90s, following the police beating of rodney king. do you think this will lead to change >> i am skeptical because of what we've seen in past patterns and practices of investigations, but i'm still hopeful. >> reporter: for breonna taylor's mother, it is another key step toward accountability >> it was long overdue grateful to hear it. i think that long before breonna, it's been something that's been needing to happen. better late than never >> reporter: in a statement overnight, the police union in louisville said it will help the investigation in any way possible, but it remains confident that the doj will find officers did not violate any constitutional rights. instead, the union suggests, the review may find leadership failures led to a critical manpower shortage. savannah >> gabe gutierrez, keep us posted thank you. 8:06 feels like a good time for a boost. >> got a boost for you guys. here we go okay, so a grandmother who has been sick had not seen any of her grandkids in more than a year during the pandemic so her son, david, and his 7-year-old daughter, frannie,

♪ a-hey, a-hey-hey ♪ ♪ ♪ love like yours will surely come my way ♪ carson joins us with a tough but important story that impacts a lot of front line workers. >> this pandemic has taken so many lives, but the early loss of a doctor right here in new york city has served as both a warning sign and a rallying point, as well. >> yeah. you may remember one year ago this week, dr. lorna breen, an emergency room physician, died by suicide her sister and brother-in-law opened up to us on the show just days afterwards. from that moment forward, jennifer and corey have been on a mission. laser focused on trying to make

a difference in caring for health care professionals, tackling the mental health taboos in the medical community. >> reporter: it's been just over a year since the unthinkable happened >> she was my right arm and my left arm i used to call her my twin, my sister, my other spouse. we were attached at the hip forever. so it's been a real challenge. >> reporter: a challenge that jennifer and corey are meeting by making it their mission to help other health care workers, hero foundation, and working with their senator on legislation to reduce and pre prevent suicide and burnout among health care professionals. >> let's pass this bill, showing we're cared about our healers and providing them the resources and culture they need to keep healing. >> reporter: it took a lot of courage in those first days of just stunned grief for you to speak out. what has driven you all this

time and since those early days? >> savannah, i believe that this could have been avoided. that's what's driven me. and if we can help somebody else in the health care profession avoid an outcome like my sister had, this will have all been worth it >> reporter: jennifer's 49-year-old sister, lorna, died by suicide last april after first fighting the flood of covid-19 patients coming into her new york city emergency room. >> the volume of death and dying that they experienced was something that they never had seen in their career >> reporter: and then battling the virus herself. the more you learn about lorna, the more unfathomable this is. what have you come to believe or understand about what led to her passing? >> what i know today is the same thing i knew even before my sister died, which is that she

got sick with covid and it affected her brain the tragedy is, she had enough of her faculties to know that if she raised her hand as a physician and said, "i can't think, i can't work, i need help," it could have been we know now exactly the same thing i knew a year ago, which is that it was the combination of covid and the culture in medicine that killed my sister. >> reporter: while more than eight in ten emergency room physicians like dr. breen reported feeling more stressed since the pandemic, nearly half polled said they did not feel comfortable seeking mental health treatment, with over 70% saying there's a stigma in the workplace surrounding getting help it seems like in our culture we talk about mental health all the time, and the stigma has really faded away but in medicine, that stigma is still there. >> it's there. it's strong. it is a well-established premise

in health care that you do not seek mental health care. you just don't >> reporter: and why why? >> it's because of the licensing. it's because of the credentialing. also, it's because of your potential harm to your reputation, as somebody who can't take it. i will tell you, savannah, one of the real struggles with my sister was that she thought she was going to lose her license. what we learned after she died is that new york state has some of the best licensing laws in the united states. so my question is, why didn't she know that? >> reporter: doctors are licensed by the state they practice in, and in some states, the applications ask probing questions about whether they've been treated for mental illness. at times, experts say in violation of the americans with disabilities act. >> only one state, and that is the state of mississippi, has the best possible questions. it literally says, "we recognize there is a connection there between your taking care of yourself and your quality of

care we want you to attest to us that you're doing that and you're taking care of yourself. we need 49 more of those to happen across the country. >> reporter: their foundation is working to eliminate any barrier to seeking help, just as health care workers across the country begin to come to grips with what they've experienced in the past year a year when they've been more than just doctors and nurses >> we're also asking them to, you know, say the rosary with a dying patient, which is a story i heard from somebody who couldn't be with her father when he was dying there was a nurse who said the rosary with him every day. we're blurring these lines. >> reporter: are you worried we're on the verge of a new crisis, a mental health crisis for health care workers? >> oh, there's no doubt in my mind there's significant data to back that up. in the heat of trauma, people are just focused on getting through it it's when things calm down, it' can take a breath, that's when

so, yes, we are so thankful for the vaccines, and we are thrilled, but the fact of the matter is, these people have been in a battle for a year now. now is the time that we really need to focus on the people who have been taking care of us for the last year. >> reporter: i look at you two i think about meeting you a year ago in the depths of your grief. i look now at what you have already accomplished what do you think lorna would have thought of her baby sister and how hard you've worked on her behalf >> i think she would love it i think my sister was here for a reason, and maybe this is it we have made changes, savannah we have heard from people who have changed the way they live because they heard what happened to my sister i think she would love it. >> i love how jennifer talks about her sister she said, my sister was on fire. she could not be stopped guess what jennifer cannot be stopped

they have accomplished so much in one year. there's legislation that's pending. the dr. lorna breen health care protection act has been introduced in the senate and funded already it's the first of its kind legislation, so they're really hoping that by speaking out again, it gives it the push it needs. >> i was imagining doctors and nurses watching the piece, nodding their head and saying, finally, someone is talking about that. >> and it's okay to talk about it. >> yeah. >> to be in medicine, you have to work so hard. you go to school you have to get the credentials. to think, if i tell the truth about how i'm feeling, am i going to lose my license >> yeah. >> am i not going to get that job? we just heard her say, dr. breen thought she could lose her license just by virtue of the fact she needed help that wasn't even true. >> millions of stories praying the rosary there are micro-moments like that the health care workers have done, above and beyond the call of duty that's emotional. >> more than what we asked them to do. hold up the facetime

be the family. >> yes >> it is a scary reminder we still do not know exactly what the virus does to our brains. >> true, too >> thank you we have links to the dr. breen foundation on our website if you want more information. we want to point out, if you were watching and this resonates with you, you're having a difficult time, there is the confidential national suicide prevention lifeline. the number is on your screen you can call it. 1-800-273-8255 >> great family. let's turn it over to mr. roker for a check of the weather. >> hey, guys good morning interesting statistic has developed. the climate is actually shifting our earth's axis since the mid 1990s, the movement of the poles accelerated due to climate change there has always been movement of those geographic poles. however, what is happening now, water is melting from the glaciers due to the ocean

shifting the earth's mass. as arctic poles are warmer, more water is melting off the glaciers before the mid-1990s, the north pole moved very slowly toward the south, toward new york and canada since the 1990s, the pole is now moving toward europe at about 4 inches per year. we still don't know what that is going to mean, but we do know climate change is actually affecting our earth in really wide ways. now, as we look at what's happening for today, summer highs in the eastern two-thirds of the country 85 in d.c. 84 degrees as you get down into new orleans. mountain snows out west. strong storms will be developing in the central plains. sunshine up and down the west coast. that's what's going on around the country. good morning, i'm meteorologist kari hall. live look outside in dublin as we're walking out the door to sunshine and cool temperatures. it's going to warm up pretty fast today, heading into the low 50s for the next hour and then
