7:04 am
wave ever. this went viral. a member of the queen's guard being given a drink of water as the uk copes with high temps. >> al has the forecast. first, emilie ikeda joins us from the jersey shore. >> reporter: good morning. this is the place you want to be amid sweltering heat. the east coast has escaped some of the temperatures we've seen in other parts of the country, but now the high temps are coming for us, too. this morning, millions of americans are struggling to stay cool and safe as these dog days of summer usher in weather that can be down right dangerous. this morning, americans are waking up with oppressive temperatures with a heat waive from coast to coast. >> brutal. >> reporter: 89 million people across 29 states are under advisories, watches, or warnings. more than half the country are seeing temperatures over 90 degrees, many setting records.
7:05 am
>> it's sweltering, and what's the worst is there's no air moving. >> reporter: triple digits extending through the plains from the dakotas to texas. across the lone star state, records tied or shattered. >> people say it's hot in texas, but this is like different. it's hot. >> reporter: dallas reaching a whopping 109 degrees. >> i don't have central air, it would have me at over 100 degrees in the house. >> reporter: michael snead says for him, the blazing texas heat is a matter of life and death. >> most of the time i have to sit right on the couch up under the air-conditioning, and that's not really doing much, and so i mean, i feel in danger all the time. >> reporter: california's central valley is facing excessive heat warnings. the city of fresno expecting triple digit temperatures to linger for weeks. officials already responding to calls for heat exhaustion warn that as little as 30 minutes of activity in this climate can be dangerous. >> our bodies are not necessarily used to or accustomed to this heat over long periods of time. it can be really dangerous if you're not prepared.
7:06 am
>> reporter: in denver, the mile high city hitting a sizzling 100 degrees. after escaping the heat over the weekend, the extreme weather is finally reaching the east coast. severe storms battered the new new york city area monday, flooding roads and train lines and causing damage like this sinkhole that swallowed a van in the bronx. with summer just hitting its stride, this is likely only a preview of even hotter days to come. we could see temperatures eclipse more records today. if you're in one of those areas with oppressive heat, a few things to keep in mind, make sure you're hydrating. if you have to be outside try to limit your time in the sun. close your blinds throughout the day to try to prevent that extra heat from coming into your homes, and if you have limited access to air-conditioning, identify those areas where there are cooling centers or access to water in case you need to seek refuge from just this brutal weather. guys, back to you. >> good advice. emiie ikeda in long branch,
7:07 am
thanks. another hot spot for that extreme heat, europe. millions coping with record shattering temperatures that are leading to deaths and fueling some dangerous wildfires. nbc's kelly cobiella is standing by for us in a sweltering london. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, craig. today is officially the hottest day ever recorded in this country, with a temperature of 102.3. noted outside of the city of london. and the temperatures are expected to go higher, north of 105 today, and the heat is already bringing this country to a standstill. the infrastructure isn't built to survive these kinds of extreme temperatures. most people don't have air-conditioning. many schools don't have air-conditioning, so some schools have closed today or shortened the hours to protect the kids. the rail system is really having a hard time as well, many trains are delayed or canceled because the rails could buckle in the
7:08 am
heat. they're only rated up to 95 degrees. problems at airports as well, at luton airport north of london they had to stop flights for several hours because the runway melted. there was heat damage on the runway. same concerns forced the royal air force to stop all flights in and out of their largest base in the uk. and of course people are suffering as well. you saw that picture of the guard at buckingham palace being helped with a drink of water. buckingham palace has actually scaled back on the changing of the guard ceremonies during this heat wave, and as bad as it is here, it's actually worse in southern europe. in spain, portugal, france, those fires are still burning out of control, not only are they battling the fires but also extreme heat there, and the fire is just to give you an example. one fire in southwest france is now more than half the size of washington, d.c.
7:09 am
and still burning, craig. >> kelly cobiella on, again, the hottest day ever in london. kelly, thank you, try to stay cool there. time to bring in al, we got hot weather here. we got hot weather overseas. hey, al. >> that's right. we'll start in europe where kelly was, we're talking about right now 99 degrees in london. of course all-time record july 25th, 2019, 102. you can see 95 in manchester, amsterdam 91, 95 in frankfort. this is going to be short lived at least for parts of the uk and europe. by wednesday it's down to 80 in london, 78 in paris, but look at these temperatures. marseille in southern france in the mid-90s, rome in the mid-90s. it's going to stay hot there. closer to home, we're talking almost 90 million people impacted both in the plains and also here in the northeast for heat advisories, heat warnings, and in fact, relentless heat. it's going to feel like 98 in minneapolis, 109 in wichita, but the air temperature 107.
7:10 am
104, that's the air temperature in san antonio, it will feel like 102 in new orleans, 93 in philly, savannah, feel like 103. tomorrow the heat index almost 100 in new york city, triple digits for nashville, little rock, dallas, houston on into albany and georgia, and the heat wave goes on. 100 degree temperatures, st. louis into saturday, mid-90s d.c., and the heat will continue as we move into next week warmer than average temperatures over a wide swath of the country, guys, and it looks like this is going to last right on into august. >> wow. okay. thanks, al. >> we'll come back to you for your full forecast in just a moment. first, though, tempers flaring overnight in uvalde, texas, during a special school board meeting there. that school board meeting held just one day after that bombshell report slamming the police response at robb elementary. the community making their voices heard and calling for immediate action ahead of a new school year.
7:11 am
nbc's sam brock is in uvalde for us once again this morning. sam, good morning to you. >> reporter: craig, good morning. the community had 45 minutes set aside for comment. it ended up lasting more than three hours, with some parents saying their kids burst into tears at the idea of returning to school. the texas state police launching its own investigation as criticism mounts. it took virtually no time for things to escalate at this school board meeting. >> you all do not give a damn about our children or us. >> reporter: the calls to fire school police chief pete arredondo outdone only by parents wondering how law enforcement responding on may 24th still had a badge or a community's trust, after waiting in the hallways for more than an hour before taking out the gunman. rachel martinez has four kids on four different campuses in uvalde. >> do you feel comfortable sending a single one of your children to school?
7:12 am
>> no, one of my daughter actually comes to tears thinking about having to go to school. >> reporter: the most common concerns families voiced at the meeting, doors that don't lock and officers that don't act. students weighing in including incoming senior jasmine cosadas whose sister jackie was killed. >> what are you going to do to make sure i don't have to wait 77 minutes bleeding out on my classroom floor like my little sister did? >> and poignant testimony. mailey taylor, 10-year-old. >> this was the last dress that all my friends saw me on. most of those kids were my friends, and that's not good. >> reporter: her mother grilling a school board member over what he would have done in the crisis. >> come on, you're a vet. what would you have done? answer. >> i don't have an answer for you. >> you don't have an answer. >> reporter: the crowd then attacking him for not answering the question. >> coward! >> i am not a coward. i am a combat veteran of vietnam. i served 26 years in the navy,
7:13 am
and i served in desert storm. >> reporter: and what about the children calling 911 from inside the classroom? >> the victims. child called 911. >> reporter: heard on this police body cam video time stamped somewhere around a half hour into the response. the response characterized as egregiously poor decision-making by the committee, moving grieving families to shine light in a dark hour. vincent salazar's granddaughter layla died in the massacre. >> voices will be heard, and change will be made. >> this is heartbreaking just to watch. sam, there's a theme obviously at this school board meeting, parents want accountability. they want a change in leadership. is that any closer to happening? >> reporter: that appears to be an open-ended question. there were chants throughout the meeting to fire him, in reference to pete arradondo. i spoke with the father of jackie, who told me it'd be a
7:14 am
slap in the face to his baby if pete arradondo does not lose his job and there isn't disciplinary action taken against the police officers. to your question, the school board says it'll have a closed-door meeting to discuss the next actions and steps for arradondo. whether or not it ends up leading to something tangible, we have to find out. we know from the report, he was the co-author of the active shooter response plan, the chief taking the lead. >> hoping for results soon. sam, thank you. we turn now to the january 6th committee investigation. back in october, that committee subpoenaed former trump adviser steve bannon, but bannon refused to cooperate. now his contempt of congress trial is underway. nbc's senior washington correspondent hallie jackson joins us. so hallie, let's start here. what do we expect to see today, and what's at stake here? >> yeah, it's a good question, craig, and today we expect opening statements to happen. jury selection's going to wrap up, and then they'll move into that part, the very sort of beginning of the trial, and it's probably going to wrap up pretty quickly. prosecutors said they think they
7:15 am
only need a single day of testimony here. now, remember, bannon initially tried to argue that he defied the subpoena from the january 6th committee because his conversations with former president trump the day before the capitol attack were covered under executive privilege. since then, just recently, he said mr. trump waived that privilege, but regardless, it's kind of a moot point now. the judge has already ruled that bannon's defense team cannot bring that up in court. legal experts that i've spoken with suggest it's going to be a big surprise if bannon does walk away with an acquittal here, but listen, you never know what a jury will decide. keep in mind, even if bannon were to get convicted, he still would not be forced to hand over the documents and the testimony that the january 6th committee wants to see. this is about punishment. this isn't about getting him to comply with that subpoena. last week, bannon changed his tune. he volunteered to talk with the committee. he said he wanted to do it publicly, probably to try to make a spectacle of it since just yesterday he again called those proceedings a show trial, craig. >> speaking of the committee, we seem to have learned a little
7:16 am
bit more about who is going to be testifying at thursday's prime time hearing. what more can you tell us about that? >> two names you're going to want to remember here, sarah matthews and matt pottinger. this is awe according to a source familiar with their testimony. both of these people served in the trump administration in the trump white house, and both resigned after the capitol attack. matthews was a former press aide, pottinger was the former deputy security adviser. high-level position. he decided to step down after former president trump tweeted that mike pence lacked courage on the day of the 6th. we've seen them before in taped depositions, so they've spoken to the committee, that was videotaped, but on thursday night that will be live and in person from the two of them, probably must watch tv here, craig. >> all right, our senior washington correspondent hallie jackson, thank you. we have a lot more to get to including some hopeful news for drivers, yeah, hopeful news for drivers. $4.50
7:17 am
gas prices falling steadily and dropping to $4.50 overnight. nbc's maggie vespa is in indianapolis we rarely say gas prices and good news, but we actually have that today, huh, maggie? >> reporter: i know, hoda, good morning. it feels great to say, doesn't it, after months at record highs, finally we have some relief at the pump those gas prices have been falling for the past five weeks, and analysts say that trend very well may continue a little while longer, helping americans stil hoping to hit the road this summer on the nation's roads this morning, filling up is getting a bit less painful after months of steady increases, gas prices have declined for the fifth straight week. >> they've been really high lately, so i think it's about time. >> reporter: the national average for a gallon of gas is now $4.50, down $0.15 since last week and $0.49 a month ago while americans are still paying $1.33 more than a year ago, gas under $4 a gallon is becoming a common sight
7:18 am
>> prices in some 35 states now have fallen under $4 a gallon. >> reporter: drivers in the south are seeing the biggest drops. in south carolina $4 a gallon on average, texas at $4, and mississippi at $4.03, while california, hawaii, and alaska remain over 5 bucks a gallon so what's driving down the prices experts say it's supply and demand gasoline production has increased while inflation and economic uncertainty has led americans to fuel up less. >> i think we all are dependent on our transportation and those gas prices are really going to play a big part in getting around >> reporter: officials at the white house insist the recent trend is not a blip. >> we think it's reasonable to expect more gas stations to lower their prices. >> reporter: for families planning that summer road trip, it's all welcome news, but analysts say if there's an energy disruption, that prices could just as quickly turn back around >> if we do see a major hurricane in the gulf of mexico, prices can still rise rather dramatically. >> reporter: the warning in
7:19 am
mind, let's bring it home to indiana. aaa has the average here in this state at $4.58 a gallon, down from $5.15 a month ago at this gas station, it's even lower at $4.13 i can confirm people on the ground are already noticing. just a few minutes ago our producer topped off our rental car and completely unprompted just yelled out $35. that's a good day. i'll send it back to you. >> it is a good day. all right, maggie in indianapolis, we appreciate it, thanks. one more thing this morning, speaking of good days, major league baseball's all star game, it swung into action -- well, it swings into action tonight dodger stadium in los angeles. but last night, the bats warme up after last night's home run derby there in the end washington nationals slugger, juan soto taking home the top prize. >> he keeps going. he's down on his knee, his bat has flipped sky high, and juan soto is your 2022 home run derby
7:20 am
champion >> it was fun to watch, i tell you that much. in the final round soto had 19 home runs. edged out seattle's julio rodriguez. soto taking home the trophy and the $1 million prize that was just 19 in that round it goes for three rounds here's the thing, so he's favorite nationals player. >> yeah. >> $440 million contract, 15 years, that's what they offered him. juan soto wants to perhaps walk away. >> oh, no. >> so there are nationals fans who are hoping that after the derby last night juan soto rethinks leaving washington. please >> i think you made your -- you made your case you made your case. all right, it is 7:20. let's bring in mr. roker hey, al. >> hey, all i know is the mets and yankees are in first place. >> there you go, baby. >> that's what i'm talking about, bam there, juan soto, kiss that. >> oh, wow >> you walk away from 440, hey, good luck to you good luck. see ya later >> truth to that.

7:34 am
in europe don't have the staff to handle the surge in passengers or their bags the situation so critical in london, delta airlines flew a plane loaded with a thousand bags to detroit, no passengers meanwhile, in the u.s. volatile summer weather remains the biggest wild card. my flight to denver last week had to abort a landing at the last minute due to dangerous wind shear, forced to divert to cheyenne, wyoming, with more than a dozen other planes landing behind us. so the captain on our flight said this was the worst wind shear he has seen in 20 years coming into denver, and he was literally fighting it as he came up, pulled the nose up and diverted around denver, forced to go to cheyenne because quite simply, we didn't have enough fuel to go anywhere else >> i am truly sorry for all this, but safety is paramount here at united airlines and that's what we're going for. >> reporter: after refueling we were too heavy to take off from cheyenne, so all of the checked bags had to be bussed to denver.

after a wave of retirements during the pandemic. tomorrow, i think this is interesting you're looking at the new flight academy trying to get some young pilots trained quicker. >> reporter: yeah, republic airways, the second biggest regional airline in the country says its flight academy for brand new pilots is so good it rivals the military's training, and as a result it believes it deserves an exemption, that its pilots should also be able to start flying commercially just as quickly as military pilots do, not as many hours as are currently required for non-military pilots. so we're going to go inside republic airways new flight training program for new pilots, and we'll ask the question is their training really that good, guys >> okay. worth looking at. >> could be a solution. >> it might be >> thank you, tom. >> we're looking forward to that tomorrow. still ahead this morning, guys, the great female skier, the greatest really ever, lindsey vonn she'll be live in studio 1a. >> she sure will we're going to talk about her life, that recent induction into the hall of fame, and the very relatable sleep struggle, that's right, sleep struggle that she's

captivating as the decades of performances and movies and tv and on broadway, well, ethan hawke. ethan hawke is the director behind the epic six-part series "the last movie stars. it uses transcripts from lost paul newman interviews, and it illustrates the couple's incredible story he casts some major a-listers to narrate the project including george clooney as paul newman. take a listen. >> the glue that held joanne and me together was that anything seemed possible. ♪ >> with all other people some things were possible, but not everything the promise of everything was there in the very beginning. >> okay. ethan, welcome in. this project is so unique and epic i feel like you had a treasure-trove of interviews that came from transcribed tapes and basically the newman family, newman's daughter came to you and said here's my parents. please make something with all this
8:38 am
>> it felt like a giant responsibility i mean, i really was desperate to say no, you know, because i knew how much work it would be and what a huge responsibility it would be, but i'm too much of a sucker i'm a romantic, and i grew up loving and adoring them, and i felt like people were kind of forgetting about what a miracle they were, what amazing artists they were. they lived substantive lives they were good citizens of the world and the community. they took care of each other, and it felt like a great moment to say, no, it can be done it can be done we can love each other we can take care of each other we can live good lives and we can have a great time while we're doing it. >> we learned so many things in this number one, when everyone thinks of the two of them, we think of paul newman as the big star. that wasn't how it started, was it >> he was her boy toy boyfriend at the beginning she won the oscar. she was heralded as, you know, hollywood's shining light.
8:39 am
three faces of eve blew the world away, you know, as a young woman, and it took him a little longer to find his stride. you know, but shortly after they married, then "the hustler" came out and his career broke, and then he blew up. >> you know what i love about this, because we hear about the love story of paul newman and joanne woodward, and you actually hear it in their own words. i mean, these are tapes. they've done lots of audio tapes that were transcribed. >> newman was trying to write a memoir, so he and joanne hired their best friend, whose name is stewart stern. he wrote rebel without a cause and a lot of good movies he was a really close family friend, and they did interviews with everybody in paul and joanne's life. then paul abandoned the memoir and the tape and they had them transcribed. so i got my actor friends to reenact these interviews, and basically the spine of this documentary is the lost interviews of their closest friends talking about them.
8:40 am
>> i thought what was fascinating about the memoir, is i didn't realize that paul newman had been married before that he had a wife and a family when he met joanne woodward. >> yeah, a lot of people don't know that this beautiful marriage was born out of -- you know, from scandal. >> yeah. >> but paul's generation it was a tough time i mean, he came back from world war ii as soon as he arrived, he went to do a play and fell madly in love, and before he knew it, he had three kids with somebody he didn't know very well, and he still -- he was running a sporting good store, and that wasn't his true self he wanted to be an actor, and he wanted to be an artist he moved the young family to new york, met joanne backstage, they were both under studies around the corner are from here on broadway, and his life change sod dramatically
8:41 am
it was unrealistic to think he was going to -- that -- you know, that something like this -- >> something like this would happen when you think about him, he's known for those piercing blue eyes, and that sex appeal, but it's funny that he didn't think he was so sexy we learned that. >> he says that, you know, joanne created that image, and i think that what he means is he respected her so much and her confidence in him kind of taught him who he could be. her belief, and they did that for each other you know, he directed her in many, many projects. i mean, they took turns nurturing each other, you know, who was the rose and who was the gardener so to speak >> i thought it was fascinating, ethan, just how revealing joanne was, revealing in those tapes about her reluctance to have children she didn't think movie stars made good moms, and she said the word aloud. >> i know, we're not allowed to say things like that, even though we all think it an actor was going to make a movie about actors that we needed to tell the truth, and i think that joanne when she talks
8:42 am
about parenting that way, she loved her children, and she loved being a mother to them, but my interpretation of all this is that she really wanted to remind young women what it was that they were giving up you know, her life, she got strong armed into a certain lane, you know, her whole dreams of being the movie star that paul got to be were -- they were really pushed aside, and that's what society does to a lot of young women. she was warning them, hey, before you go gonzo in love, make sure you know what you're doing. >> and i think the end of their life was fascinating, that she had dementia, he had cancer, and yet in the end, you know, she was distant from him because she didn't -- i guess, you know, she was in that different state, but she ended up going to him in the end as their daughter described and seeing him take his last breath. >> it's so beautiful you know, death and illness always strikes us as sad, and
8:43 am
with this movie, what i really wanted to do is focus on their life it's a life well lived, and their life together in their 70s was the best time of their life. she's running a theater company. she's really a fully realized version of herself they're giving away hundreds of millions of dollars. he's doing "color of money," verdict, and when you think right around the corner from here is the actor's studio and paul newman joined woodward with james dean, marlon brando, marilyn monroe, and when you look at their peers in their 70s were not in full blossom the way paul and joanne were. >> ethan, this is an incredible project. it is unique it's all by itself you have george clooney, laura linney and so many others. congratulations. >> i'm grateful to all my friends for helping, i'm so grateful thanks for having me on your show. >> you can check out all the
