hi, everyone, i'm kate snow. >> and i'm aaron gilchrist. "nbc news daily" starts now. today, monday, october 10th, 2022. putin's new assault, russia launches a slew of missile strikes on ukraine after days of ukrainian victories. where the attacks are focused and how president biden is responding. returning home, home and business owners in parts of florida devastated by hurricane ian are finally seeing the damage with their own eyes, their plans to rebuild. >> facing a judge, harvey

weinstein back in los angeles and back on trial. the accusations being made against the already jailed former movie mogul in this case. and inside the mind of a child, a just released survey of parents showing just how many kids struggled during the pandemic and a report on trauma identifies ways to help kids cope after traumatic events. we begin with dangerous and deadly escalations in the war in ukraine. overnight russia unleashed its biggest missile attack on ukraine in months. ukraine's armed forces say russia launched 84 missiles on targets across the country. the attacks were timed to be as deadly as possible hitting at the peak of the morning rush hour. at least 11 people have died and 89 others were hurt. >> russia's president says today's attacks were in response to this, a huge explosion that took out part of a bridge which connects the russian mainland to the annexed territory of crimea. putin called the bombing on that bridge a terrorist attack and he

blamed ukraine, but no one has taken responsibility. let's bring in nbc news chief international correspondent keir simmons now. he is in moscow for us today. how is the kremlin explaining the strikes that were made in ukraine and what may come next? >> reporter: aaron, the kremlin is saying that the strikes are retaliation, and frankly, they are what hard-liners around president putin have been calling for for some time for a response, for a bombardment. as horrifying as this one was this morning, they say that that was the right thing to do, and they have been celebrating it this morning. and today at the same time, russian people on the streets i've been speaking to, frankly, they are anxious. >> do you find the atmosphere has changed in moscow? >> yes, a lot. >> how? >> the atmosphere has extremely changed. >> why? >> people are worried about the situation in the city and in the

country. and they became more sad. >> reporter: the tactical plan set out by president putin is quite simply to try to intimidate. he warned in his televised address this morning that if ukraine launched when he called more terrorist attacks on russian territory, then there would be further harsh measures. >> and keir, how is the international community responding to these attacks. the leaders of the g-7 are holding a meeting tomorrow. what do we know? >> yeah, that's right. that is an online meeting. it's an emergency meeting. it's truly designed to send a message of support to ukraine. president zelenskyy will speak at that meeting. chancellor schultz of germany spoke with president zelenskyy just today and germany talking about sending more air defense capabilities to ukraine. so trying to send a message to moscow here that if you think you are going to intimidate

europe, and it isn't working, in fact it is swinging us further behind kyiv. i think president putin faces some difficult questions, kate, in the days ahead, principally if this strategy that we're now seeing play out doesn't work, what does he do next. >> keir simmons for us in moscow today, thank you. outrage in iran is growing exponentially by the day. protests over the death of a young woman detained by the country's morality police is now entering their fourth week. in some case, school girls are joining the demonstrations. group iran human rights says 185 people including 19 children have been killed during those protests across the country. more buses filled with asylum seekers are arriving in new york city. so many are coming that city's mayor is declaring a state of emergency. it's the latest chapter in a growing immigration, rehema

ellis is on new york's randall's island, where migrants are expected to be housed in new york. this has been going on for weeks now here in new york city. why is the mayor now declaring a state of emergency. >> he says the city is running through a billion dollars this fiscal year because of this humanitarian crisis. you'll hear more about that in a moment. first, i want you to hear from local elected officials who talks about her idea of the mayor's plan to house people here on randall's island, which is surrounded by water. take a listen. >> is this a good idea or a bad idea? >> this is a very bad idea. any human being needs a real roof over their heads and no one's home should be in a flood zone. >> this is unsustainable. the city is going to run out of funding for other priorities. >> reporter: and the mayor also points out there's something like 61,000 people already living in temporary shelters in

new york, and there's just not enough places to put everybody. >> so is there anything being done on the front end? anything being done to stop the busing of these asylum seekers to new york? >> reporter: there are some people who wish that that were true. a lot of people i talk to say the ultimate solution is a change in the nation's immigration policy, and no one has any idea when that's going to happen. >> rehema ellis on randall's island in new york, thank you. for the first time in nearly two weeks, people who live in fort myers, florida, are being allowed to return home. the island community was crushed by hurricane ian. many homes and businesses are being destroyed leading many to ask what's next. guad venegas is back there for us again. you spoke with the owner of a construction company this afternoon. what's he saying about his plans? >> reporter: kate, as the search and rescue efforts, they're still continuing with some search, but they're pretty much ending now, right? it's the next phase. it's residents coming back to

their homes to figure out what they're going to do. so the construction companies, the local contractors are going to be very important, and they also took a hit. so i spoke with one contractor who told me he lost all of his vehicles that he needs to operate, so moving forward he wanted people to keep in mind that local builders, local contractors are going to need help because they do have the people to get out there and begin the reconstruction, they just need that help. and very important also, they're going to need more hands, more labor. >> everything's at a premium right now. it's just trying to rebuild everything we lost so we can get back in business again. >> how much work do you expect moving forward? >> oh, more than anyone could probably handle, yeah. i mean, everyone probably needs, you know, 20, 30, 40 more employees right now, and more tools, more vehicles, you know, you see it's totally detective devastation. >> just before i spoke with hum, over the weekend, i went into a

community, it's an immigrant community where i found a lot of kids playing and women cleaning the houses. i went up to one of the women and asked where the men were. and she said they've all been working. right after the storm a contractor came in and took everyone, they've been working from sunrise to sundown. all of the immigrant community is basically being used now, the ones that work in construction, as part of this cleanup effort. and also earlier today i met some workers who said they were brought in from miami. these are guys that recently came from venezuela to miami, and they said they were happy to get hired to come be part of this cleanup effort here in fort myers, which is ironic because weeks ago we were reporting that the governor of the state had been sending migrants to martha's vineyard as you can remember, and now the members of the migrant community becoming an essential part of the cleanup that's going to be necessary here as they join the contractors and everyone that's going to be working to rebuild this area, kate. >> yeah, it's going to take a lot of folks, guad venegas, thank you.

the second sex crimes trial of harvey weinstein is now underway. jury selection began today in los angeles. the disgraced movie producer is charged with rape and other sex saumt crimes. weinstein is serving 23 years in prison after being convicted on similar charges in new york. he is appealing that case. maura barrett is in los angeles for us today. walk us through the charges that weinstein is facing there in l.a. and how long this trial is supposed to last. >> reporter: aaron, the case here in l.a. is very different than the one that we saw in new york in terms of its different victims involved, different accusations, specific accusations, and what one legal analyst told me means possibly different vindications. the jury selection is expected to last about two weeks. the entire trial about two months, and harvey weinstein is counts of rape and seven additional sexual there, and it involves five different women, spanning nearly a decade from

2004 to 2013. this is something where we're going to probably be hearing similar accounts than what we heard in new york in terms of some of that emotional, raw testimony from women that have been hiding and staying silent on this for decades in some cases. this is something they're all watching very closely because of that appeal in new york. i want to hear first from accuser and survivors, caitlin dulany. she and other survivors are going to be watching this closely. here's some of our conversation. >> to me it makes sense to have a hollywood reckoning. this was such a prevalent thing in hollywood, and powerful men were allowed to get away with this and that we're finally seeing this played out in court is a very important part of this picture. we want to see good outcomes. we want to see justice done. >> this trial comes five years after the bomb shell allegations against weinstein were

published, rocking the #metoo movement. caitlin speaking to me saying she feels grateful to be living through this moment, seeing the cultural shift that we have seen in terms of the #metoo movement and holding those powerful men accountable as you heard her detailing. in this case in l.a. specifically, there also is concern about the appeal in new york. right now weinstein is 70 years old. he is sentenced to 23 years in prison but with that appeal, he could be wiped clean. this trial in l.a. could be the only thing left that's holding him accountable, and he faces a potential 140 years added to his sentence, aaron. >> maura barrett in l.a. for us, thanks. grocery prices are getting higher and christopher columbus is the focus of a new come you can book. >> hey there, guys. let's start in california where the head of a group representing farmers says, quote, there's just not enough water to grow everything we normally grow. a drought in this state is now in its third year reducing this

summer's harvest of tomatoes, onion, and garlic. as a result they're paying up to 25% more, an increase that hasn't been reflected yet in supermarket prices. also in california, polls are predicting defeat for a ballot measure to legalize online sports betting. "the wall street journal" reports a group of gambling companies led by draft kings and fanduel is cutting back on their advertising efforts to get it passed. and a new comic book series by native american author steven graham jones has quickly gone into a second printing. earth drivers is about a native american who goes back in time with a plan to kill christopher columbus. jones says it's been optioned by a disney unit for development as a television series. >> thank you. tampa bay's hockey team ices out one of its players over sex out one of its players over sex abuse allegations. i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi.

the nhl's tampa bay lightning has suspended one of its players following allegations of sexual abuse. ian cole is accused of abusing a woman when she was a minor. the claims first surfaced on friday in an anonymous twitter post. the suspension comes as tampa prepares for its first game of the season tomorrow. sam brock is joining us now. sam, what exactly does the accuser say happened here, and what is the team saying about

the allegation? >> so aaron, you look at the tweet. it's not 140 characters. it's a series of paragraphs that extensively lays out what the accuser's accusations are, and it's predatory. she describes a culture of misogny. with she was just a minor in high school she had an interaction with ian cole that he knew she was a minor in high school. she said in this tweet, i didn't realize at the time that being pressured into sex is tantamount to sexual abuse, but this kept happening over and over fen. she describes it as grooming and that this went on for a series of years. the tampa bay lightning organization says they are cooperating with any investigation and right now they are in the process of suspending ian cole pending that investigation. what's now clear is whether or not the team is conducting it, the league is conducting it or a law enforcement agency. >> at this point, sam, any sort of response from ian cole to these accusations? >> the language in his response is very interesting. he has vehemently denied it.

here's what he said, i am against this. it's not true. they made the allegations against me in an anonymous tweet very seriously, and i look forward to clearing my name and demonstrating to the nhl and the tampa bay lightning these allegations are unfounded. he noticed and mentioned the fact it's an anonymous tweet, as if perhaps that takes away from the severity of the accusations. the reality is not only has this been an issue for the nhl for years, a member of the chicago blackhawks had his name obscured from the stanley cup, now this issue is popping up. they were in the finals last year. this is a really prominent team in the nhl and it's a major problem for the league as to how they're going to handle this. >> sam brock in our miami bureau today. thanks. enhanced concussion protocols for week five in the nhl season. it comes after a string of controversial decisions when several players who appeared to be hit in the head ended up back on the field later in the game.

here's nbc news correspondent stephanie gosk. >> first and ten led by teddy bridgewater. >> with miami's quarterback tua tagovailoa out of the game, play against the new york jets, but minutes into the game, bridgewater took a big hit. >> due to the concussion protocol, they're taking extra precautions. >> reporter: the first player to be removed under the new concussion protocols. >> if you demonstrate any gross motor instability, it doesn't matter whether you have a concussion or not. >> reporter: ataxia added to the new rules describes impaired balance or coordination that could indicate a neurological issue. now, as part of the new concussion protocol, bridgewater will undergo multiple days of evaluation before being allowed to play again.

though dolphins coach mike mcdaniel said bridgewater shows no concussion like symptoms. the new rules follow an investigation into miami's quarterback tua tagovailoa's head injury during a game against the buffalo bills late last month. he was seen stumbling after a hit. the team's physicians determined it was not neurologically related, so they sent him back onto the field. four days later, tagovailoa was slammed to the ground again in a game against the cincinnati bengals and suffered a concussion. dr. alan sills, nfl's chief medical officer says their goal is to make the game safer, even if it means removing a player that might not have a head injury. >> we've said many times we do not want a player who may be injured to continue playing. >> reporter: new rules on safety that may also impact strategy. >> i think teams are going to pay backup quarterbacks a lot more than they have in the past.

this is a cyber conference organized by a group called cipher brief. a lot of the top cyber and intelligence officials are here in georgia today. what they're saying is there's no viable threat right now to the u.s. election. they think that the mechanics of the election are going to go off just fine, but what he said is more important than the sort of physical infrastructure is our own reaction to whatever the opposing side tries to do. take a listen. >> i'm worried about our confidence. i think the greatest threat is whether they take a small swipe against something that's not well-defended, there are lots of choices. whether we go to the darkest corner of the room and whether that portends some actual disruption in the critical structure. we're considerably more resilience than i think we might imagine. we'll work our way through. we've done that before. >> reporter: this is much about resilience emotionally and intellectually as it is about the cybersecurity resilience. >> and what should people be on the lookout for when it comes to

disinformation, information we get online? >> reporter: the lesson is the same as it always was. check your sources, understand what you're reading, where it comes from and particularly who benefits from that line of thinking. a lot of us just sort of mash that re-tweet button or send things out on facebook without really thinking about where it comes from. his point here about resilience and our own reaction applies very much in terms of education of people who are using social media. this is as much a people problem as it is a technology problem, kate. >> cnbc's eamon javers, thank you so much. we are counting down to the midterms with a closer look at races in two battleground states. in georgia, senator rick scott and tom cotton joining herschel walker at a campaign stop tomorrow. >> and ohio is the first and only statewide debate between j.d. vance and tim ryan. on the trail for us, nbc news correspondent allie raffa is in atlanta.

tomorrow's campaign stop in georgia, the latest effort by the gop to rally behind herschel walker. what are you hearing from voters about how this is all factoring in? >> reporter: we haven't seen any recent polling since this latest string of allegations surfaced early last week. this race still stands as a critical battleground state for republicans who know how critical it is to win hear if they want to win back control of this currently 50/50 senate. i think the word to best describe how voters on both sides of the aisle feel here in georgia is unfazed. i've spoken to democrats and republicans and both of them are saying that they don't think this will really move the needle in this race. because, you know, there have been a string of other controversies, other allegations against herschel walker in the last few months since he announced his candidacy. for republicans, they're saying we should push forward, we should focus on other issues like inflation, the economy,

high gas prices. democrats are saying we should be talking about the roe being on the ballot, abortion being on the ballot. these are definitely things voters are concerned about, voters are going to be very interested in hearing whether this is going to be brought up on the debate stage between herschel walker and raphael warnock on friday. >> allie raffa watching that for us, thank you. let's bring in nbc news correspondent jesse kirsch. another race to watch with the vance and ryan camps getting ready for tonight's debate. what are you hearing from them going into that conversation tonight in ohio? >> yeah, aaron, we're hearing more of what we've within hearing throughout this campaign. both candidates have tried to portray one image and the other campaign is saying that image just doesn't square up with reality. we reached out to both campaigns for statements today. here's what the ryan campaign told us. they said in a statement

tonight, you can expect to hear a lot about all the ways j.d. vance is a fraud who's only in this race for himsel. the vance campaign countering in part, in the senate ryan would be nothing more than a reliable vote for the far left. j.d. is well prepared for the upcoming debates. he will have no problem wiping the floor w so you have a democratic cand skewing the to the middle trying to portray himself as someone who can agree with republicans and a republican candidate who has alied himself with the former president donald trump and is saying that tim ryan's argument that he can work with republicans and that he is moderate is a sham. so that's what we're going to be looking for on the stage to see which candidate makes that argument better than the other because we may not necessarily see as many policy position differences. there certainly will be some, but not as much as other candidates. >> there are a lot of voters who want to hear about those sorts of things. what are some of the big issues

that voters in ohio actually care about, the things they want to know about? >> yeah, so abortion has been an issue in this state. the governor's race has centered around that more so, and that race is really not looking close. these candidates have talked about abortion in the past, but it's not something that is top of mind a huge buzz word. we hear a lot about china from tim ryan, things you might expect to be hearing from a republican candidate and from j.d. vance, he talks a lot about drugs and policing. again, crime issues that we do expect to hear from republican candidates, aaron. >> jesse kirsch for us in cleveland, thank you. first on nbc news, an alarming new survey reveals the many ways children struggled during the pandemic. plus, the small steps parents can make to help children cope after traumatic ents.ev

clinical psychologist at the child mine institute. she joins us now. thanks for being with us. this survey shows what parents already suspected. our kids went through a really stressful period. >> it's been so hard, and what we know from this survey is that children and parents were already suffering. there's a great deal of trauma that families are exposed to on a day-to-day basis, and then the pandemic came along and really amplified that. 50% of kids had a family member who was sick, and another 20% had a family member who died. so they objectively experienced a great deal of trauma and stress. >> you also zero in on trauma in this report, right? we often think of one traumatic event as cauing stress, but you say it can be chronic, ongoing negative experiences. how do we help kids cope with all that? >> right, so there's also this kind of chronic stress that leads kids to be sort of having a hard time regulating their emotions and trusting people, and so there are a few things we can do regardless if it's a major event or if it's ongoing.

what we want to do is maintain a close attachment or connection to our children. that attachment helps them feel safe and regulated, even when they're older. what we saw with the young adults of teenagers really struggled during the pandemic. >> half of the parents in the survey who sought mental health help for their kids said that it helps a lot. a lot of parents also reported that their children tried deep breathing exercises, mindfulness practices. you just hinted at this. are there little things that parents can do to help a kid out. >> absolutely. so we want kids to have a sense of what's going on. keep an open line of communication so they have a narrative or explanation for what's happening, even if you don't know, you can tell them that, i'm still learning. i'll let you know when i do. let's do some mindfulness, let's do some belly breathing together. let's go out and exercise. there's some tangible things like that that really help. >> dr. jamie howard, really good to have you with us. and thank you. that report reveals a lot of

challenges, but let's turn now to one potential solution. >> a newly published study by the university of pittsburgh medical center shows a simple app can make a difference, offering mental health support on demand for teens and young people. >> what if a teenager's cell phone could be a way to address and alleviate some of their problems. the university of pittsburgh medical center took that innovative approach to reach at risk teenage patients where they're already comfortable. >> they live on their phones. they're comfortable texting and especially anxious and depressed kids, they're often not compliant with treatment, even when it exists. >> reporter: upmc developed rx well, an app that pediatricians could prescribe to their patients age 16 to 22 a group at particular risk. >> in 2021, nearly half of all children that we screened for depression between the ages of 11 to 18 scored positive. >> the app contains techniques

to build skills teaching relaxation, meditation, and how to tolerate stress, and patients can also connect one on one with a mental health coach. >> essentially they help them set goals. they provide them with feedback. they help them to recognize when their symptoms are worsening. >> reporter: the app monitors usage and progress. it can also alert a coach if a patient might need more attention. >> i just felt alone. i felt like no one understood me. i felt no one understood my past or even where i was coming from at that time. >> reporter: 22-year-old caylee nutter was part of rx wells first ten group. her the burden of proofs raised her from age 18. her parents are sober now but had substance abuse abuse issues. >> my mom was in the state penitentiary for the early years of my teenage life, and a lot of roles were put onto me, such as being that mother figure on top of my grandmother being that mother figure to my sister. >> caylee started noticing her

anxiety when she was juggling the stress of nursing school and her grandpa got sick. her doctor prescribed the app. >> when they said they wanted you to use an app, what did you think of that? >> at first office i was a little bit hesitant. i did not know if i had to post my feelings onto a page. iid not know how private it would be. once i realized this is totally private. i was definitely reassured. i was able to connect with my coach at any time. it's like an instant messaging that was really helpful. >> traditional therapy happens once, maybe twice a week if you could use every day, did that make a difference? >> of course, it helped me be able to create an overall positive mind-set to know that instantly i can have my negative thoughts go away, to know that i'm able to have a coach right there whenever i need her. >> caylee is among the success stories that have expired an

expansion, the group your mom cares raised half a million dollars for the first trial in pittsburgh with about 500 participants using the app. of the patients that used the app, 73% saw a reduction in anxiety, and 57% reported less depression. and now they're planning a new expanded trial for patients in boston and san diego, good news for kids who may be struggling. caylee says the support helped her find her way. she married her high school sweetheart in december. and after graduating in the spring landed her dream job, a nurse in a neonatal icu. >> techniques back into my life now. it is a day by day process, and to be able to still use those techniques that the app brought to me. it's incredible to know that i can do it anywhere at any time. >> so aaron, caylee was also

able to see a therapist in person too, which is kind of hard for some people. you try to find someone, they maybe don't take younger people, they won't see a new patient. the ability to have that coach on your phone and to be able to talk anytime is really critical. >> got to meet as someone living with type 2 diabetes, i want to keep it real and talk about some risks. with type 2 diabetes you have up to 4 times greater risk of stroke, heart attack, or death. even at your a1c goal, you're still at risk ...which if ignored could bring you here... ...may put you in one of those... ...or even worse. too much? that's the point. get real about your risks and do something about it. talk to your health care provider about ways to lower your risk of stroke, heart attack, or death. learn more at getrealaboutdiabetes.com good news! a new clinical study showed that centrum silver supports cognitive health in older adults. it's one more step towards taking charge of your health. so every day, you can say... ♪ youuu did it! ♪
