>> all rise. >> count two alleges that you committed the felony offense of murder in the first-degree. >> reporter: also in the courtroom the family of victim kaylee goncalves, laying eyes on the suspected killer in person for the first time did you ever see him turn and look at you? >> i was hoping for that he is going to avoid me. >> reporter: authorities als releasing details about the night they think kohberger murdered goncalves and three other university of idaho students, madison mogen, xana kernodle and ethan chapin in an a off-campus home. one of the two surviving roommates telling police she came face to face with the killer waking at 4:00 a.m., one of the roommates said someone's here but didn't see anyone when she looked around. according to a newly released court document she heard crying coming from the victims' rooms and a man say something to the effect of, it's okay, i'm going to help you. she opened her door to see a man

dressed in black and wearing a mask who walked towards her and out a back door and locked herself in her room. police weren't called until noon that day for reasons still not clear. steve goncalves describing the roommate's state at the time of the 911 call. >> remember, these girls are so up-set they went outside seeing this, one passed out and the other one was so hyperventilating that the message wasn't clear enough for the operator. >> reporter: the newly unseale 18-page charging affidavit says a state forensics lab fount the suspect's dna on the button snap of a knife sheath. left laying next to one of the victim's bodies. the charging document also says the police used phone record and into footage of his hyundai elantra to place the suspect near the scene of the crime. according to law enforcement the suspect's phone was turned off for about two hours during the time the murders took place. but it turned back on at 4:4 a.m. it was traveling south of moscow back to pullman, washington, where the suspect lived, authorities allege, which is just over four hours later the

cell data places his phone back near the home and police say kohberger's phone registered in the vicinity of the victim's home 12 times in the months before the murder dating as far back as august last year kohberger expressionless as the charges against him were read. >> maximum penalty for that offense if you plead guilty or are found guilty is death and/or imprisonment for life. do you understand? >> yes >> reporter: now, this affidavit is nearly 20 pages long but there is a page that has been completely redacted. the family of kaylee goncalves, one of the victims, says they are confident investigators have much more but there are some unanswered questions what was the motive in this case and did he know the victims before these murders meanwhile, he is being held at the jail and his next court date is going to be next thursday back to you. >> gadi, thank you. >> we want to laura jarrett, she

is nbc's new senior lega correspondent. welcome to nbc. >> so good to be with you. >> what fascinating affidavit. your assessment of the strength of the case. talking about dna, cellphone tracking. does it seem like law enforcement has their man? >> the dna is super compelling juries attach a lot of value to dna. everyone has the cia effect. that's something they will want to attach to look the knife sheath is on the bed of the woman who has been killed the 99% match the jury is going to attach to that. but that's not everything, right? we have all of the surveillance video, all of this cellphone records. the cellphone is pinging at, what, a dozen times before the actual killings? that's a big fact for prosecutors because, remember, they have to show this was first-degree premeditated murder the idea of him casing, as they claim, the house ahead of time is going to be all of that together. >> can i ask a basic question? if you have someone's thumbprint on the knife sheath thing, is that just not enough

does that not put him there in the house? >> no, nowadays there could be tampering. there could be -- there are a thousand different things defense attorneys could poke holes in. dna isn't everything but it's that in combination of everything the other thing is the standard right now is much lower. we are not in a court. we are in the probable cause land all they have so show is it's likely he committed the crimes we are not in reasonable doubt land. >> in criminal cases you have building blocks for cases so we are starting to see some of the evidence one thing we don't see in these documents, because it is too early at this stage, is a motive a potential motive prosecutors don't have to prove motive, but juries sure want to understand motive. >> they want to understand why it's the question on all of our minds. what was his connection to these women and the boyfriend, if anything there may be no motive at all. meant of crimes have been committed and people prosecuted without motive you need to have intent. but juries want to know the

story. how did he find them how did he zero in on them if he is found guilty? that's something the juries want to know. >> people are asking, there was a person who was there who survived this who heard crying, said she saw a man. why would one person who could potentially be identifying the suspect be left behind? what would be the reason? >> we don't know. it's everybody's nightmare to wake up with someone in your home. put your defense attorney hat on. i will poke holes in that saying he had a face covering on. that may not be enough for a positive i.d. but it's a horrifying -- >> it's early in the case but at last we are starting to see some of the evidence police say they have. >> more to come, for sure. >> laura jarrett, thank you, and welcome to nbc. now let's move to that unprecedented standoff on capitol hill over who will be the next speaker of the house. after three days and 11 votes one of the nation's most

powerful positions still remains unfilled amid fierce republican infighting. this morning there is new hope that a deal could be within reach. nbc's senior capitol hill correspondent garrett haake has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it was a marathon session on the hill last night with republican leader kevin mccarthy losing vote after vote in his quest to become speaker. behind the scones off the floor there were secretive negotiations that could be moving the house and the country closer to a resolution. this morning the u.s. house dead locked and divide, leaving the nation's business in limbo. >> a speaker has not been elected. >> reporter: an historic 11 votes have now failed to produce a speaker. republican leader kevin mccarthy struggling to lock down 20 gop votes. still confident late thursday. >> i feel very positive yesterday. i feel more positive today. i think we have good discussion. >> reporter: his allies

scrambling to reach a deal to satisfy the holdouts. offering prime committee seats, votes on bills like term limits, and perhaps most significantly a rule change that would allow any single republican to force a vote on the speaker at any time. mccarthy seen himself lobbying opponents on the house floor. >> i wouldn't be betting on my vote for kevin mccarthy under almost any circumstance. >> reporter: congress can't do anything else members pick a speaker. no committee meetings or votes on bills. new staff can't even access emails. democratic minority leader hakeem jeffries urging them to quote stop the back stabbing. >> we are asking house republicans to get along with each other. so we can get about the business of the american people. >> reporter: with mccarthy pledging never to drop out, lawmakers are preparing for a long struggle with only one solution. >> we got to get more votes. that's what's in the way. >> garrett, i mean, i feel like we have been here every day

probably because we have. again, we are hearing there have been concessions, a potential deal. could today be the day? >> reporter: there is something of a groundhog day feel to it. but republicans seem to believe it could move some of those 20 holdouts to mccarthy. if they can't move all of them that means we are going into another day of politics and pressure to try to move the votes before we head into the weekend. >> garrett haake, thank you very much. 7:13. an update on damar hamlin. a lot of people have been hoping for this news and today they are getting it. >> good morning. good morning to you, as well. the young buffalo bills safety is now awake, communicating, even holding hands with his family. in the words of the team, hamlin is showing, quote, remarkable improvement following his collapse on the field during monday night's game. nbc's maggie vespa once again for us at the university of cincinnati medical center.

[voicece vibratingng] and good morning. it's 7:26. i'm scott mcgrew. here are today's top stories. a new look this morning at the damage to capitola wharf as seen from a drone overhead. you can see a huge chunk simply torn away by the heavy surf. huge waves, some approaching 40 feet, flooded the historic area yesterday. here is how it looked when the waves were most intense this is from inside zelda's, the popular restaurant, it just got wiped out. many other homes and businesses facing major cleanup. there are concerns the surf may cause more damage at high tide, about two hours away.

kari, that high surf advisory still in effect. and we're still seeing those waves being pushed up by yet again another storm that's coming in off the coast. and we're continuing to see it strengthen as it moves in. right now some of the moisture being pumped into the bay area with a lot of clouds. some spots getting in on light showers even this hour as most of the rest of the bay area gets a chance to let the previous rain soak into the ground. so we're really concerned about the potential of flooding over the next couple of days. as the next storm comes in, it's going to become widespread across the bay area tomorrow. and then as it wraps up on sunday there may be a few isolated thunderstorms. and then again on monday a stronger storm system will be coming in. another atmospheric river, temperatures reaching into the mid-50s. so the cool weather continues as the rain will be off and on through the forecast into next week. we're looking at the possibility of about 2 to possibly even up to 5 inches of rainfall this weekend, and we're also going to see more flooding especially on

those creeks and rivers. scott? all right. more local news coming in half an hour. of course all the information you ever need on our app.

promised our father we would welcome her to the family. the only thing we asked for in return is that he didn't marry her. you don't need to get married again. his father, now king charles, would often joke he was not harry's father and that william and kate privately howled with laughter at a nazi uniform he wore to a halloween party. for which he had to apologize. he reveals details of his royal life he writes of taking cocaine and other drugs, losing his virginity and of the moment he was told his mother, princess diana, had died. charles broke the news, he says, calling him, my dear son what i do remember, he said, with stunning clarity, is that i did not cry, not a tear. my father did not hug me later, prince harry describes driving through the paris tunnel where diana's fatal crash happened in an effort to find resolution, adding he and william wanted to call for the investigation for diana's death

to be reopened they were, he says, persuaded not to harry asked by abc news how his mother would feel about his relationship with william now. >> i think she would be sad. i think she would be looking at it long term to know that there are certain things that we need to go through to be able to heal the relationship >> reporter: one of many revelations for a book unlike any written by a member of the royal family and, guys, still no comment from the royal palace we don't even know if they have a copy of the book maybe they want to give their friends in the spanish royal family a call or if they are watching, they can come and borrow a copy. >> keir, thank you very much. a lot to unpack. let's bring in nbc's royal commentator daisy mcandrew so many revelations, so much that there is to unpack. what struck you of all the new details the most >> reporter: you're right. there is so much in there. and some of it, of course, is

interesting but basically salacious tittle tattle. some is serious. that's what the palace will be concerned about. the foremost senior important members of the royal family have come under direct fire, the king, the queen and the prince and princess of wales. the king coming over as uncaring, as cold. the queen accused of leaking stories. i have been told that that's not true by well-placed sources. and kate and william, william being framed as somebody cold, uncaring but also aggressive, even violent. and kate, as we have heard before, making meghan cry and not being caring herself these are very damaging accusations. >> it's so striking how much harry is willing to spill about himself, the family, even according to some reports, taking a swipe at william's thinning hair. what is the palace strategy here

so far they have basically ignored all of this. but do they feel they need to respond, whether with interviews of their own how will they address this going forward? >> there are two issues. there is a pull and a push here. they will want not to comment. whether they can hold that line is a completely different matter personally, i have changed my opinion over the last 24 hours on this. i know from the past, we know that william and harry, when they watch their parents rip each other to shreds and tear lumps out of each other during that horrible divorce with the bbc interview they did, we know those boys promised and vowed to each other they would never do the same in many ways, harry has now done the same he has done the book he has got four interviews coming up in the next few days and i think the pressure on william, not on charles, but on william to sit down and do some kind of interview to answer some

of those accusations might become too much to resist. >> how do you think this is all going over with the public both there and overseas because i saw a hashtag that said hashtag shut up harry like there is a faction that says we've heard enough. what are you hearing from there? >> it's very difficult to tell we know from the latest polls that harry and meghan's popularity in this country has gone down and at that time william and kate's popularity were still holding up very well as was charles and camila's not as popular as william and kate if you look at the newspapers, you see a different story. the newspapers, because i think in many ways they have been attacked by harry, they have come out fighting. they are full of stories talking about harry being a grudge-toting man baby all sorts of insults being hurled at him. i don't think that's necessarily what the public feel i do think the public is getting

quite sick of this they will lap it up. they will read it, but i am not sure it's doing harry and meghan's popularity good the important thing for the firm behind me is what it's doing to kate, william, camila and charles. >> well, we heard it we heard it all. we have the netflix documentary. now we have the book they say they want to tell their side of the story. that story has been amply told we will get the copy in english. >> thank you, daisy. mr. roker, another check of the weather? >> grudge-toting man baby. >> i like it and this just goes out to my brother chris. i don't look so bad now, do i? [ laughter ] >> we got more rain coming into the pacific northwest. the good news is drying out in southern california. mountain snows in the rockies. near record highs through texas. we are looking at some light snow and rain moving through the northeast. plenty of sunshine in the southeast down into florida. that's what's going on around u

jimmy. a recent visit to the jimmy fallon universal orlando ride that might have turned hoda's daughter hope against jimmy. >> my 3-year-old put the glasses on you are locked in, like you are in "the tonight show." jimmy, she was terrified she is scarred she loved you, but now yeah, she just -- she didn't throw up. jimmy, she was terrified where is jimmy no, get me out, get me out, get me out >> just like "the tonight show," they are all strapped in they are not allowed to leave. >> that's great. by the way, it is a fun ride for a grown-up >> there you go. the grammys recording academy announcing the honorees for the special merit awards recipients spanning all genres we've got rock & roll hall of famers nirvana, '60s music legends the supremes, annie and nancy wilson of heart. this is a separate group

"after hours" album from the weeknd, beat the previous record holder ed sheeran. we think somebody might have contributed to that, that might be uncle al, our halloween show. the super bowl halftime show. spot-on reenactment. >> if he can survive that, he is truly one of the greatest. >> over the edge and alexandria daddario, willie geist sits down with the actress starring in the supernatural thriller "mayfair. she is still smiling after the emmy nomination for her last role in last season's hbo hit series "white lotus. she shared with willie how similar she was to her character. >> i drew a little bit from myself in some aspects of getting carried away with things and also i think there was a fantasy. her character, she's sort of innocent in a way. she had an idea of how things were going to be.

>> i went right to the second season of "white lotus." now i am going to have to go back. >> yeah. >> catch that conversation, always great, here on nbc. that is "weekend today" with willie geist. have you been outside yet to see -- >> not yet. >> let's do that good morning to you. it is 8:26. i'm scott mcgrew. we have a new look at the damage to the capitola wharf as seen from a drone overhead. you can see a chunk torn away by the heavy surf. huge waves sometimes approaching 40 feet flooded the historic waterfront area yesterday. here's how it looked when the waves were at their worst from inside one of the restaurants, which was wiped out. many other homes and businesses are facing major cleanups. there are concerns the surf may cause more damage and high tide and that high tide is coming

very soon. let's check in with kari. it's coming at the same time that we're seeing the next storm system approaching, and that's been causing those high waves. we're also going to see some light showers moving through this morning in parts of the north bay, especially as well as san francisco. we can see a few of the rain drops on the camera lens here but overall conditions are drying out, especially compared to what we've had. and ahead of the next storm that will be coming in we'll see heavier rain, potentially some thunderstorms on sunday, and another atmospheric river, a stronger storm arriving early next week.
