it doesn't seem likely to end up in a final deal. matthew mcconaughey suggested that this time maybe feels different. and i think there are a lot of people across the country who might be going yeah in does feel different. should we be feeling more optimistic? and here is the reality check. based on the reporting that we have from capitol hill. yes, talks are active and concrete and on going. yes those talks have been blessed by the top democrat and the top republican in the senate. on the other hand we would be remiss not to talk about the context of history here in the last decade since sandy hook. and you know this, savannah. after that massacre. after the mass shooting in las vegas. after if shootings in el paso and dayton. you heard calls on both sides of the aisle for change. you heard that momentum after the shootings. but ultimately no new laws were ever passed. so that is the sort of backdrop to this moment now. we should know more by a end of the week on clarity even if it is not a final deal. >> there were talks before the talks collapsed. we'll see if that is the same fate this time. halle, stay on it. appreciate it. thank you. to the family budgets nightmare showing no signs of letting up. soaring gas prices. the national average surged even higher other night.

francisco with the election results. good morning. >> reporter: savannah good morning. san francisco has seen cutting edge criminal justice reforms under the prosecutor. but now after an extensive recall effort and rising crime in this city city and across th nation, the voters tossed him out of a job and the nation is watching. the progressive reforms that helped elect chesa boudin in 2019 may have caused the same voters to toss him out of office last night. >> people are right to be frustrated. there's so much room for improvement. people should hold us to a higher standard. >> reporter: boudin promised to fight inequality in the justice system with alternatives to prison pushing against what he called mass incarceration. the successful recall vote halfway into his four year term

was not a surprise. polls leading up to the election showed voters we are driven by the reception of a city in decline. homelessness and drug addiction rampant and crime up. homicides up 11% this year. a wave of recent hate crimes and auto thefts touched every neighborhood. >> lot of progressives are so wed to what they believe in, that they won't listen to what actual people are telling them. >> reporter: lifelong liberal adam wesnick is one of them. >> i've been robbed on mission street. i was jumped on 6th striate. >> reporter: the owner of this san francisco sandwich shop says the da's politics are no match for crime in his city. >> the ideology is dangerous for the residents. >> reporter: boudin says the a political tactic. >> they exploited it in an environment which people are appropriately upset and they created an electoral dynamic where we were little shadow

running into a recurring problem. those flight cancellations. and major airlines are blaming what they call a pilot shortage. nbc's tom costello joins was a closer look at how long this actually might go on. tom what's the word? >> bad news. yeah craig good morning to you. listen to this. at the start of the year, the airline industry wanted to hire 13,000 pilots. but over the last decade, the new supply of pilots is about 5 or 7,000. so the math just doesn't add up. how can that affect your travel? check before you go check before you go to make sure your flight hasn't bee canceled, especially if you are going a smaller regional airport. the great escape of 2022 is out of the gate. but even if you've booked your summer travel months ago, beware the airlines are still struggling with staffing and schedules. american airlines just announced its grounded 100 regional jets because it doesn't have pilots to fly them.

>> we're hiring 2,000 pilot this year getting them all through training is a real task. >> reporter: virtually every airline has grounded some of its regional planes or cut their schedules. >> i'm deeply sorry. >> reporter: alaska airlines ceo saying last month it all came down to pilot staffing >> simply put, we had 63 fewer pilots than what we planned for when we built our schedule. >> reporter: the most affected airports smaller cities with regional airlines that have lost pilots to the big carriers. >> there are just not enough pilots and it's not a quick fix. >> reporter: what happened many pilots took early retirement in the pandemic and the airlines did not expect passengers to come surging back so quickly complicating the problem, pilots are required to retire at 65 regardless of their physical health. rich siler has been flying 40 years, first with the navy and then delta he had to retire earlier this year when he turned 65, even though he felt he could keep

flying >> we are trained. we are evaluated constantly. we should be able to come back in and do the job until physically or mentally can't do it. >> reporter: congress may consider raising the retirement age. and considering lowering requirements for new pilots. in the meantime fewer planes and seats could be a problem that lasts through christmas and years to come. >> it is not going to get fixed in the next 12 months. some ceos are saying it is three to five years of this type of issues. >> reporter: faa and national regulators require pilots to retire at 65 even if congress were to change the retirement age at 67, those pilots would still not be able to fly to europe or canada one pilot's union says there are plenty of pilots out there but they may not be certified on the planes

so that creates a bottle neck, craig. >> layers of problems. okay tom costello thank you. >> let's light enup. shall we how about a look at the weather. >> well weather is going to be a problem today too -- ha ha well i wish we could oakland raiders, that's a big oklahoma city, that's a big airport. heavy showers. thunderstorms. severe thunderstorm watches and warnings little rock into st. louis, another hub there. that is going to be look at problems and atlanta, there is heavy thunderstorms starting to push towards there. 31 million people at risk for severe weather wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour can't rule out a tornado or two. and tomorrow the planes again under the gun with strong storms possible wind gusts of 75 miles per hour. tornados possible from north plat wichita, oklahoma city on into topeka low pressure coming out of the planes going to bring showers also along the front into the mid atlantic states and new england. afternoon storms

last week a jury found depp's ex-wife had defamed him in a 2018 "washington post" op ed she's been ordered to pay more than $10 million in damages. heard who plans to appeal won just one of three games the counterlawsuit of depth and was awarded just $2 million in ic figures in their own right during the trial legions of viewers on youtube and social media hanging on every word and gesture >> miss heard told you she has mountains of evidence of abuse but there are no medical records. >> miss heard lies all the time. >> heard's team alleged a coordinated social media campaign by depp's side turning public opinion and ultimately the jury against they are. >> they went home every night. they have families the families are on social media.

we had a ten day break in the middle because of the judicial conference there is no way they couldn't have been influenced by. >> a charge depp's team denies saying the outpouring of support for the actor is nothing but authentic. depp thanked reporters yesterday on a new hi created tiktok account writing we did the right thing together all because you cared. and joining us now are johnny depp's lawyers camille vazquez and benjamin shoe. did you speak to your client right after the verdict? what was his reaction in the moment >> i think just an overwhelming sense of relief. i was speaking with another friend of ours, a mutual friend of johnnys and ours and he said i haven't seen johnny smile like that in six years. >> the weight of the world off his shoulders.

he got his life back. >> as you well know the law does no it favor a plaintiff like johnny depp in a defamation case like this. the burden is high the threshold is high and he crossed it frankly speaking were you stunned at this victory? >> we had ultimate confidence in johnny and the jury and the facts of this case and the. >> -- responsible for defamation for one of the statements made by his lawyer. accused her essentially of staging a scene in furanthce of an abuse hoax how do you square that finding with the rest of the verdict, camille?vehelmingly can it was unanimous there were seven people who decided he was defamed. >> amber heard's turned was here after the verdict and said the jury had not been permitted to see certain evidence that would have bolstered and verified

amber heard's claims of abuse in particular therapist notes what is your response to that? and was there evidence expressed for a valid legal reason that might have made a difference >> i think that was very disappointing to hear and to hear her infume the character of the jury and that the evidence came in that should come in and the judge was very fair to both sides. >> in particular she cites the uk judgment. johnny depp sued the sun, a newspaper in the united kingdom and lost that claim. the judge finding claims that he was a wife beater were stanley true and amber heard saying that judgment should have come into the court case what say you >> it was a different process and also mr. depp and ms. heard in these case were parties they had different disclosure obligations. -- overwhelming evidence presented in this case in virginia far exceeded what was presented in the uk and we believe the jury got it right.

>> this trial was closely watched. social media certainly took off in way that we've seen high profile trials before but this is the social media age. do you believe the jurors saw any of that? were swayed by any of that. >> no. i don't think there is any reason to believe that the jurors violated their oath and again, that suggestion was disappointing to hear. >> yeah, i mean, amber heard's lawyer said so she said it would have been unavoidable. it is on tiktok and social media. in the old days you tell the injury before they went out. don't read newspapers, don't watch the evening news now it is every. >> diminished every single night and had tremendous amount of respect for the court and the process and they were doing the best they could. >> support for johnny depp online was exponentially greater than for amber heard just one example on tiktok the justice for amber heard hashtag

has 27 million view. justice for johnny depp, 20 billion. hardy heard attorneys suggested this is because on orchestrated campaign on behalf of johnny depp do you think anything about that >> that is utterly baseless. in fact very early in the case the prior chief judge white had thrown out account and counterclaims that related to that it was absolutely absurd and baseless. >> you know for a fact neither he or his agents or anyone tried to in some way pay for or otherwise encourage this kind of social media activity. >> categorically false. >> why do you think the jury didn't believe here? when you look at the verdict it really comes down to that. the issue is is what she saying try i or false and by their verdict they said it is false. >> my position is it had a lot to do with accountability. johnny owned his issues. he was candid about his alcohol and drug issues and candid about some unfortunate texts she wrote

and i think it was a sharp contrast to ms. heard who didn't seem oar at least the jury may have perceived she didn't take accountability for anything. >> closely watched in the #metoo context people have wondered whether there is a larger resonance to this trial, whether it sends a message do you see any larger message beyond the case you tried? >> no. frankly we don't we're here to talk about the case we tried. we encourage all the victims to come forward, have their day in court which is exactly what happened in this case. >> do you feel confident in your appeal ms. heard does intend to appeal. >> we very confident >> not since o.j. has the trial become so closely watched and the lawyers became famous in their own right. what has that been like for you? particularly you camille it. think i saw someone on social media get a tattoo of your face on their body. which is weird.

>> its been overwhelming and surreal. but to the extent that i can encourage young women to stay in school and maybe inspire them to pursue a legal career, then it is all worth it. >> i understand you got to promotion yesterday to partner. >> well-deserved. >> about time i was gonna say. camille vazquez, ben chew. thank you very much. appreciate it. guys, over to you. >> savannah thanks coming up next a cancer drug trial first offering hope to millions, all patients involved seemingly cured. we're going talk about those unprecedented results and what they could lead to with dr. natalie azar. also we're going tell you about a big change that you are going to notice in figure skating at the next winter olympics it is a big deal but first these messages ou decie to go to hawaii. aloha. turns out your beach people. i think we're beach people. whoa whoa, slow down boys.
