hi, everyone, i'm skate know. >> and i'm aaron gilchrist and "nbc news daily" starts right now. today tuesday, october 11th, 2022. breaking news, plunging into darkness, a new onslaught of russian missile attacks taking direct aim at ukraine's power supply. what ukraine's president said he needs now to keep fighting back. >> justice for a killer. closing arguments being made in the trial of the park land school shooter. the emotional testimony from students and their families. >> high alert, websites of major

airports across the country attacked by pro-russian hackers whax is being done to shore up america's cyber defense. and the ceo of the largest bank said the u.s. is at serious risk of entering into a recession. what he said the timeline could be. we begin this hour with breaking news. out of ukraine. major cities across country are now assessing the damage after another round of missile attacks by russia, all of the targets had something in common. they all appear to be energy facilities. ukraine's foreign minister believes the attacks are designed to create unbearable living conditions for civilians. >> and today ukraine's president attended a last-minute virtual meeting of the g7 world leaders including president biden. he's calling on them to do more to block russia's energy exports which are funding putin's -- provided funding for putin. >> let's bring in keir simmons

from moscow today. it feels like the russian aggression has been ramping up. we've seen it the last couple of nices. what do we know about the decision making in moscow that is behind what we're seeing on the ground. >> reporter: it certainly does. and we do know that for example in the past week president putin has been under pressure from what you call his hardliners here in moscow demanding this kind of action. over the weekend he brought in a new general to command the operation in ukraine. and then we've seen these strikes. i mean, keep in mind, this is a renewed offensive by russia in the air, on the ground is a very, very different picture. and it is because of that that this is taking place. president putin is threatening more if, as he puts it, there are continuing ukraine terrorist attacks on russian territory. kyiv would not describe those attacked in that way. and just part of the conflict, kate. >> and keir, even while these missile launches happen, russia is still talking about

diplomacy, right. are peace talks actually on the table here? >> reporter: yeah, i think you have to be a little bit cynical about it all. the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov suggesting that president putin could meet with president biden. russian officials have told me they haven't decided whether to go to the g-20. and of course america has always said that ukraine needs to be at table if there are going to be negotiations. i think frankly i don't think either side in this are ready to compromise at this stage. turkey is suggesting it might be helpful in trying to bring various sides together including the u.s. president and the russian leader, but in the end, there has been a lot of talk about this over a long period of time and so far we haven't seen anything come to fruition of any real substance. >> keir simmons in moscow. thank you so much. let's bring in correspondent aaron mclaughlin and in kyiv and

kelly o'donnell at the white house as well. aaron, ukraine fighters made huge progress over the summer. we talked about that. now we have a new round of russian ak that's. how are the krern forces prepared for whatever may be coming next? >> reporter: well, right now according to many analysts, ukraine is currently winning on the battlefield. what we saw over the last couple of days in terms of this barrage of missile strikes, striking key cities across this country makes little different militarily from the perspective of experts i've been speaking to. they're continuing to make advances in the south. they made sweeping advances in the northeast. if anything they see these as a act of terror in the eyes of ukrainians, inflicting untold damage on civilians and civilians only. and to that effect, that is why we're hearing from ukrainian officials calling for more advanced air defense systems.

it was the topic of a phone conversation between president zelenskyy and president biden last night and it was the topic at the g7 emergency meeting today. guys. >> and let me slip and get kelly's perspective from the white house point of view and what president biden and the administration see coming out of that meeting today at the g7. >> well they gave us a 13-point statement coming out of the meeting which affirms the solidarity among the leaders. president biden and the other partners in the g7 and supporting president zelenskyy and wanting to stress they will continue to take steps to provide the kinds of military support, economic support, and also the economic sanctions and penalties against russia. now, they did not of course let us in to cover this meeting. so the conversations done on secure video with other leaders, the privacy of that we don't know exactly what the exchanges were. but these leaders have been so critical in trying to provide

that back-up to president zelenskyy if terms of the kind of munitions and equipment that he needs, financial reinforcements to keep his government going. and trying to keep solidarity on the world stage against russia. so, this is important meeting today. and it is showing that as the conditions have changed, russia taking stronger steps, they're also sending a message to belarus to not get involved. kate. >> kelly o'donnell at the white house. aaron mclaughlin in kyiv. thank you both into right now the defense is giving closing arguments in the parkland, florida, school shooting. a jury will decide whether nikolas cruz will get the death penalty or life in prison wut parole. he pred guilty to murdering 17 students in the attack. kerry sanders is outside of the courthouse in fort lauderdale today. how have the prosecution and

defense tried to make their case in court? >> reporter: well this is such an unusual case. because he did plead guilty and now it is up to a 12-member jury to determine whether he should get life in prison or whether he should be sentenced to death. the prosecution said it is very clear that this was premeditated. and it was planned and it was depraved. the defense saying that nikolas cruz had many obstacles in life, being born into a family where his mother had an addiction and that caused mental problems for him. but bottom line, the jury will make the decision and it needs to be unanimous. all 12 jurors can decide on a death penalty, or it could result in a life sentence if only one of them said i don't believe in the death penalty here. kate. >> this has to be so painful for the loved ones of the victims. what are they hoping to see happen? >> reporter: you know, there are so many different takes here. some would like to just see the jury end this because this is been going on for four years and

they want to see an end. 17 victims here. at the same time there are some here who were adam ant they would like to see a sentence of death. this is what debbie hixon whose husband died had to say. >> the best justice that we're going to get is the death penalty. >> but is that ever justice for you. >> chris will never come back, so, you know, what kind of justice is there going to be. our life is changed forever. fwlncht it will be up to the jury which will begin deliberations likely tomorrow. again, this is been going on since july. but it is impossible to determine how long it will take a jury to come to a decision on what sort of sentence they believe is appropriate. kate. >> kerry sanders, thank you. the ceo of one of america's biggest banks said that the u.s. could fall into a recession in just a matter of months. jamie dimon of jp morgan chase

made that prediction in an interview with cnbc and said the economy is still doing well right now. joining us now, business and data reporter brian chung. so brian, i want to play a little bit of the interview with jamie dimon and then we'll talk about it on the other side. >> you can't talk about the economy without talking about the stuff in the future. and this is serious stuff, okay. this is inflation which obviously is changing the effective numbers i told you about and it is rates going up and it is the war. and these are very serious things. >> so he usually has his thumb on the button. do other economist as agree with what he's saying. >> they largely would agree and the nation's top policymakers deciding where the economy goes from here with the interest rate hikes projecting that the u.s. unemployment rate could rise to 4.5 or 4.6%. that is one percentage point higher than the last read on the

labor market up last friday up 3.5. that would imply over a million people losing their jobs. the internet monetary fund expect economic growth to pay at 1% over the course of next year. that would be an alarm bell. but he added that it is unclear that the severity of recession plight be. in 2008 and 2020 were particularly vicious. the 2000 and 2001 dotcom bundle but no one wants to hear recession, small or big. >> and we're hearing about gas prices going up. a lot of people with weighted down by that and this rise happening after opec latest move to cut oil production that we heard about last week. does the government have any more options to help consumers out in this space. >> we heard the biden administration say that they were going to do what they could to relief supply from the strategic petroleum reserve but that is at the lowest level since the 80s.

but we've seen prices creeping closer an closer to $4. it is safe to say for right now we'll not see those above $3.50 a gallon prices that we had earlier in the summer. unwelcome news for people hoping to travel this season. >> thank you. a major railroad union is considering going on strike and a new study reveals many drivers are using their cars the wrong way. >> christina is joining us now for cnbc money minute. >> so let's start with the beginning of the holiday shopping season. i'm already talking about it. we have amazon, walmart and target. all getting a head start with new sales and deals. the holiday shopping season is critical for rerts. but experts expect less spending because of inflation. companies are also sitting on excess inventory, they've been trying to sell so there could be some real savings out there if you know where to look. and there are new fears of a rail strike after the third

largest railroad union rejected a deal. bargaining will continue but if the two sides can't come to an agreement the white house or congress need to step in again to avoid a major economic shutdown. and lastly a new study shows that many drivers treat their car as full self-driving, even when it is not. experts warn that the driving assistant mode like cruise and lane control are the not same as full autonomous driving and drivers need to be alert and pay attention and able to take control at any moment. guys. >> okay. oh, you're hiding, do you do that? >> the lane assist and the cruise control. maybe with one hand. >> are you one of those guys that shaves while you're on the way to work? >> no. >> this is new information. >> we're out of time. okay. got to go. christina, thank you. >> thanks, guy. stay with us. a 13-year-old that we want to tell you about is dead after being shot in philadelphia. the video that could hold

venue. we sat down at his home and very different context this time around. you notice in the clip i'm about to play, he has a screen in front of him and nbc news agreed to closed captioning during the interview because fetterman is still suffering from auditory processing issues as a result of the stroke. that means, kate, that he has a hard time understanding what people are saying. but when he reads, which you'll see him reading a live transcription of my questions, whether he reads the questions, he can understand them and he can answer them. take a listen to what he told me about all of this. >> everything about it is changed. basically having a conversation with your wife, to having a conversation with your children. just, you know, things, especially early after the stroke, the ability to really understand exactly what i've been heard, but it gets much better where i take in a lot. but to be precise, i use captioning. so that is really the amazing major challenge. >> we spoke to him also about

crime, about abortion and a host of other issues. you could see more of this interview tonight on nbc "nightly news" with lester holt and tomorrow on "today." >> let me turn to ally here. you've been following the herschel walker campaign and he held the first event since new text messages surfaced last week surrounding the abortion controversy. what did he tell the crowd this afternoon. >> reporter: this is actually also the first time we saw top republicans campaign with him and show support in person since the allegations surfaced this week. take a listen to what walker had to say when he appeared with these two. >> he's a minister. and has he ever heard of forgiveness. have you ever heard of forgiveness. have you ever heard of redemption. so it is time for all of us to stand up. we can't continue to do this. we got to get out and vote. >> reporter: that is an argument that walker and senators tom cotton and rick scott continue

to make and hope that they reach these republican voters before this election and in exactly four weeks before early voting starts here in georgia next week, aaron. >> alley raffa for us in georgia. thank you. let's bring in lx news political editor noah transki. you have new polls how americans feel republicans and democrats are too extreme. take us through that. >> the new lx poll found that a giant red flag is out there for democrats and they aren't winning the extremism argument. because just as many americans say that democratic party needs more moderates as the republican party does. so does the other party need more moderates. two out of three republicans and democrats say yes. but if your party needs more moderates, democrats are split. republicans pretty content with their choices it seems. >> and noah, these feels are likely not to change with 28 days left until the midterms. but long-term, what changes do

americans want to see in in our political system. >> well our partners called more in common have spent a lot of time with the american moderate whose voices are suppressed by social media who have been left behind by gerrymandering and here is more. >> this is something that we describe as the exhausted majority. the majority of americans out there who want to see more moderation in politics, more generally. they're fed up and exhausted by the divisiveness and toxicity on both sides of the aisle. >> we'll release the reason some folks may not turn out this fall tomorrow morning. >> noah, thank you. there is more "nbc news there is more "nbc news daily" right after this. cotton candy.
