match against argentina and the netherlands friday morning and just this morning, wahl's remains returned home to the united states. organizers of the world cup are facing serious questions over safety protocols and the lack of potentially life-saving resources there on site during the games. nbc news correspondent meagan fitzgerald is live for us in doha meagan, it's good to see you this monday. first i want to start by sharing this quote from a journalist who was with wahl when he collapsed. he said, at this billion dollar state of the art stadium, why was there no defibrillator on hand many minutes passed and we kept expecting it to pass, and it never did. meagan, what more are we learning about wahl's death? and how are organizers responding to allegations like this of these safety concerns? >> reporter: morgan, good to be with you it's a good question i think a lot of people are asking how is it that a 49-year-old man, who seemingly looks healthy, just dropped dead and as you mentioned, there is

"the sunday times" journalist asking why there isn't a defibrillator. at this point, we don't know the cause of his death we don't know if a defibrillator was needed or not. we do know that his body is in the united states. it just landed this morning. it will there go on to an autopsy. and in the coming days or possible the coming weeks, we suspect that we will get more answers as to what contributed to his death but there's a lot of love and a lot of support that's pouring in in fact, i want to read this tweet for you coming in from secretary blinken. he says, i so appreciated grant wahl, whose writings captured not only the essence of the beautiful game but also the world around it. i send my deepest condolences to his family and thank our embassy team and qatari partners who worked together so effectively to fulfill their wishes. and of course part of their wish is that the body of grant wahl would be returned to the united states, home to new york, for an autopsy. morgan >> yeah, a lot there to unpack

meagan fitzgerald there live for us from doha meagan, thank you so much. subaru is recalling thousands of cars. and amazon has a new program that lets you tip drivers. >> hey, steve. >> let's start with subaru it's recalling 270,000 of its assent vehicles to fix a problem that could cause some components to melt, increasing the risk of a fire when the heater is in operation. owners are being advised not to park near structures and to not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is on until the free repair is done. in a special promotion, amazon gave the driver $5 if the customer who received the package asked alexa to thank my driver finally, 56% of americans say they would feel rich if they made $200,000 or more per year

mission has come to an end with a successful splashdown. did you see it if you didn't, take a look the orion capsule dropped into the pacific ocean off mexico's baja peninsula after nearly four weeks in space nasa is calling the test flight the foundation for returning u.s. astronauts to the moon and a key step for space exploration to mars. cnbc's morgan brennan joins us now. good to see you. this final step, was the the most important and also the most dangerous of the mission, coming back walk us through what happened. >> that's right. it was the most dangerous, which really says something when you realize this orion spacecraft launched on what is now the most powerful rocket to have ever flown, mach 32 that's how quickly orion came back into the atmosphere it endured re-entry temperatures of 5,000 degrees farhrenheit,

about half as hot as the sun and it was testing the heat shield to make sure that astronauts, before they climb on board, are going to be able to withstand the heat there was a situation where the spacecraft dipped into the atmosphere and dipped out in the landing process. >> when you think of the engineers, all the people who worked years of their life on a mission like this, there were no astronauts on board. but there were some high-tech mannequins collecting data morgan, tell us about that >> there were. there were three high-tech mannequins they had names as well and 3,600 sensors. there were nearly three dozen radiation detectors. and basically everything you can imagine being tested before humans get on board for a space flight was tested with all of these sensors to mimic that experience that people are going to have when they fly, when they do a space flight on orion the radiation piece of this is key because orion travels

further out than any other spacecraft designed for humans has flown before the radiation levels are expected to be high. the astronaut suit was tested. that's really cool >> really remarkable >> some very valuable information that's going to be collected for the next hopefully manned mission morgan brennan, thank you so much well, the town of earl, arkansas, has elected the nation's youngest african american mayor 18-year-old jalen smith will now lead the people of earl. >> it's amazing, unbelievable, breaking barriers. it's amazing >> overwhelmed with emotion, jalen smith is coming to terms that he's the youngest african american mayor in the nation but his win didn't come as a surprise >> i did i did think this would be the outcome because throughout my campaign, i was always told to outwork my opponents >> reporter: he outscored his opponent, for sure, winning the election 218-139

a small community now getting national attention >> a lot of people get to see congressmen, celebrities, the president probably even saw it already. it's just amazing getting all these interviews and different things, speaking to different people about my why, my purpose. >> reporter: his why, beautifying the city, housing, and improving public safety, starting with a 24/7 police department, plus bringing a grocery store in town, which the city currently lacks all that smith knows, won't be an easy task >> i'm a little nervous, but throw my high school time, i've been preparing i'm a go-getter. so, whatever the city needs, i'm going to get >> reporter: four months ago, action news 5 was the first to travel to earl, arkansas, to speak with him n. august, he was fresh out of high school now his first job has won him the title of mayor >> it's not going to take making the city better. it's going to take the people working together as a team

graduate on saturday nbc news correspondent steve patterson joins us live now. steve, there were extra police officers on campus for this commencement weekend tell us a little bit more about how the victims were honored by the university >> first of all, this is an event that should be nothing but celebratory. it was clearly a lot more somber, a lot more muted in tone obviously because of what happened there as you mentioned the upgraded patrols, police putting out a warning even before the commencement started to stay in pairs and stay vigilant. that's already setting the tone there. the president of the university honored the victims by giving a speech before it started here's what he said. >> ethan chapin, xana kernodle, maddie mogen, and kaylee goncalves were taken from us far too soon by a senseless act of violence they were bright lights on our campus and cherished member of our community. >> and one of the names he mentioned, kaylee goncalves, was

supposed to be at that commencement walking across that stage, adding an extra layer of somberness to the community, to that commencement, and to the overall vibe in town there since no killer has been caught. back to you. >> what should be a celebration of their graduation, this achievement, this milestone, just so bittersweet. talk to us about the state of the investigation. it's been nearly a month and still this killer is on the loose. >> i would say in a month, at least the information we know in a public, has moved an inch. that is not to say it is progressing. police say tactically they are withholding some information because they are following so many leads they want to keep that close to the vest we know, though, that information is limited they are following a few leads, one being that white vehicle that has been mentioned so heavily. it was a hyundai elantra in the area at the time of the murders. they want the occupants in that vehicle, anybody with any information, needs to contact their tipline immediately.

they say it's been happening hot and heavy, especially over the weekend, they've been getting dozens upon dozens upon dozens of tips, so many that they're also forwards some of that information to the fbi tipline, also assisting in this investigation. the second piece is that they're following where the locations of the victims were before they were in that house, before those murders were committed they're looking at a timeline they're trying to piece together all of these pieces of this puzzle, they're trying to fit together to move this investigation forward. but it has been stagnant now for so long. vicky? >> for everybody working on this investigation. steve patterson, steve, thank you. a new fbi report out today shows hate crimes increased last year but it's hard to say by exactly how much that's because only 65% of police agencies reported data for two-on-one and that's compared to 90% back to 2020. nbc news justice correspondent ken dilanian is outside the justice department for us. ken, look, the fbi changed the

way it collects data take us through the impact that had on today's report. and why are we seeing only 65% of these crimes reported >> reporter: morgan, the fbi's been warning local jurisdictions for years that it was implementing this new method, this more detailed method of collecting crime statistics, as opposed to the old uniformed crimes report method but a number of local jurisdictions just didn't comply this year. and this was the year the fbi said, we're only taking this data the new way, not the only way. of so, you had cities like new york and l.a. that weren't ready to comply. major parts of states like california and florida so, as a result, we don't have a full picture of the level of hate crimes in what most experts say was probably a record year for hate crimes in 2021. we just don't have the data because even though the justice department has spent millions of dollars trying to get states and counties and cities ready for this, apparently it's just a more detailed situation. and they're not required to

comply so, many of them have not. >> and ken, can you just sort of walk us through some of the numbers the fbi did, in fact, release? >> reporter: yes, with the -- they could be misleading, incomplete the fbi found 2,000 hate crimes, the third highest in a decade, a partial number reasons why victims were targeted, most common, 65%, was race, ethnicity, or ancestry followed by 15.6%, sexual orientation. 13.3%, religion. -- interviewed the dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas about this. take a listen to what he had to say. >> nearly two years ago at your confirmation hearing, you said you wanted to tackle the issue of anti-semitism at all. but it's only getting worse. >> i think that's absolutely right, but our fight has only

become more fervent. the resources we've invested in it have become greater our dedication to addressing targeted violence against any group has become more and more intense. unfortunately, jake, as you correctly note, the need for it has increased as well. >> the secretary was speaking about anti-semitic attacks, which are on the rise as are anti-asian attacks, anti-black attacks. the spectrum of hate crimes are rising and getting worse, but we just don't have a full picture of the data. >> ken, thank you. to our viewers, you can expect to see more of jacob soboroff's interview on "nbc nightly news" with lester holt on your local nbc station. los angeles city council member is facing fresh controversy after a video surfaced on friday night showing him involved in a physical altercation with an activist that happened during a christmas tree lighting event.

cori coffin joins us now with mores on it seems the l.a. city council can't catch a break here what have you learned about the details of this incident >> that area has been in the news quite a bit, morgan there's a lot to untangle here los angeles police have launched investigation into this altercation between kevin de leon and a community activist each has accused the other of assault at that christmas tree lighting on friday listen to this >> bye, kevin.

escalating political rhetoric unacceptable morgan >> wow a lot to unpack there. cori, what do we know that led to this physical encounter in the first place? >> the video was shot by an organizer in the grass roots group that has called for de leon's resignation. what it doesn't show is what happened in the moments that led up to the scuffle. protesters have called for his resignation over a racist conversation with other council members leaked in october, but still a lot of unanswered questions, morgan. >> cori coffin with the latest cori, thank you so much. there is a new battle brewing behind the wheel, and it could make your next ride more expensive. uber is now suing new york city over a new wage hike that was passed by the city's taxi and limousine commission maya eaglin is following the story. why is uber suing new york over

the wage hike? >> vicky, uber filed this suit after new york's tax icommission approved the first increase for cabs and ride sharers in over a decade uber claims these hikes will be a blow to the industry drivers' pay will increase by more than 7% per minute and 24% per mile many taxi and ride share drivers say they're expecting a bump in pay this holiday season, and they're not happy about the lawsuit. >> you're going to make a little bit more money and uber is against it how come they raise rates any time they want and you cannot get a little bit in ten years? >> i work very hard to provide food on the table. it would be devastating for the drivers. this is a holiday season this is where drivers actually work really hard >> uber is hoping a judge will issue an emergency ruling to

stop the fare increase while the legal battle plays out in court. >> these uber drivers work really hard often just for a couple hundred dollars a day do rider ves have to pay more >> that's unclear because these companies calculate rates differently. this comes at a time when prices for rides are high 30% higher in september compared to 2019 there's no indication that those fare hikes were passed down to drivers. and last month, the ceo of uber told bloomberg he thinks these elevated prices are here to stay >> maya eaglin, thank you for your reporting still ahead, some steps you'll want to take today in order to save a little bit of money before the end of the year renbne dlyrit ter thmois" gh

welcome back to "nbc news daily. it is time to talk a little bit of money it may not seem like it, but the holiday season is actually the best time to start thinking about your overall budget for next year. >> i feel like there's a record scratch we need there. thank you. i love it. absolutely key financial moves you make right now could help you stay on budget and out of debt for 2023. that's why we're thinking about it now cnbc personal finance correspondent sharon epperson joins us sharon, you're always the best at this. >> you are >> it's a challenging year for

all of us financially. what can we be doing fou had to make sure we don't go crazy with holiday spending and improve our savings going into the new year? >> the first thing you need to do is look at your income and make sure you've paid enough tax so you don't get hit with a surprise tax bill in 2023. you want to make sure you are having enough taxes taken out of your pay and you may have another pay period you can change your withholdings to make sure it's accurate if it's not, you can send an estimated tax payment directly to the irs by january 17th and if you're just unclear of whether you've paid enough or not, make sure you've paid enough as much as you paid in 2021, probably, if your situation hasn't changed very much, or go to the withholding calculator on irs.gov. make sure you're putting enough money into your long-term savings, 401k, max that out or get the company max contribution but most importantly, make sure you're saving for emergencies and try to boost that amount of

savings, maybe with a side job, maybe with money you get over the holidays if someone is kind n to give you cash, put that into your emergency fund. >> it's easy for people to send too much money this time of year is there any advice you have for us to make sure we don't just blow our budgets >> well, just like you have the holiday checklist for the gifts you're giving, you should also have a checklist for how you're going to pay for it. know ahead of time before you make that purchase are you going to pay in cash, debit cards, credit card and now what comes with that if you're using cash or a digital app, then that money's coming straight out of your account, likely, and you're going to be able to budget better if you're using a credit card, especially a store credit card, know that is average interest rate is 30%. pay that off in full as soon as you get that first bill, or you're going to be hit with a very high interest rate come 2023 >> and you can pay before you get the bill if you've got the money. that's really important too. sharon epperson, as always,

thank you. for more of sharon's money advice, going to cnbc.com/personalfinance and if you're in the market for a new car, you may be considering going electric that might mean a pretty hefty tax credit part of the inflation reduction act provides up to $7,500 credit for buying an electric vehicle while that may sound great, it comes with a lot of rules and a lot of requirements. so, nbc's anne thompson is here to break it down for us. anne, this can get a little bit confusing for a lot of people. walk us through the requirements to get your hands on this tax credit >> let's start with income, morgan that's one of the requirements starting in january 1st. and in order to qualify for that tax credit of up to $7,500, you have to have an adjusted gross income of $150,000 or less if you file as a single person. and if you file married filing jointly, the adjusted gross

income has to be $300,000 or less now, there are also caps on the price of the vehicles that are eligible for this. and it starts with sedans. that is $55,000. ev sedan is $55,000 and under. you're good. you can get the tax credit it goes up to $80,000 for suvs, trucks, or vans. >> all right and i know you also spoke with a couple who benefitted from this tax credit as we were looking at thescree there, the graphics were really interesting, showing us the single versus the couple tax credit what did that couple tell you? >> well, let them tell you themselves scott wilson and abigail are from suburban boston, and here's why they -- here's the difference they say the tax credit makes >> what rules did tax deductions play >> a huge role honestly. i think if we didn't have the

tax deductions, we might have to get a gas car. >> whatever numbers we put in that were reasonable for gas, it ended up being more expensive in the long run than the ev >> all right anne thompsoson, you canan catch ananne's full l report tononigh "nbc n nightly newews. yoyou're watchching nbc nenews y my a a1c is downwn with rybebe. inin a clinicacal study, once-daiaily rybelsusus® signgnificantly y lowered a1c better t than a leadading brbranded pillll. in t the same ststudy, people takiking rybelsus® lost more e weight. rybebelsus® isnsn't for r peo with typype 1 diabetetes. don't tatake rybelsusus® ifif you or yoyour familyy ever hadad medullaryry thyroid d cancer, oror have multltiple endococe neneoplasia sysyndrome typyp, or i if allergicic to it. stop rybelelsus® andnd get memedical helplp right awawy if you g get a lump p or swswelling in n your neck,, severere stomach p pain, oror an allergrgic reactioi. serious s side effecects may include papancreatitisis. gallbladadder problelems may oc. tetell your prprovider abobot visision problemems or changn. taking r rybelsus® with a sulfonylururea or insusulin
