caused by a severe beating. it is still unclear what happened. police say they pulled nichols over for reckless driving around 8:30 that night. a confrontation followed. pepper spray was used and nichols fled on foot. >> there was another altercation at a nearby location at which the serious injuries were experienced by mr. nichols. after some period of time of waiting around afterwards, he was taken away by an ambulance. >> reporter: nichols would die three days later. the incident now being investigated by local, state, and federal authorities. two members of the memphis fire department who were part of nichols' initial patient care were also fired while an continues. a defendant attorney representing desmond mills jr. i am sure you have seen that photo of tyre nichols in the hospital. you haven't seen the video but

i'm sure you saw the photo of nike comes in the hospital. when you saw that, what did you think? >> it looks like somebody crossed the line and i believe the proof will show that mr. mills is not one of the officers that crossed that line. >> reporter: at least one of other charge plans to plead not guilty. several of the officers part of the memphis pd scorpion unit, a unit that targets auto theft and gang activity and investigators haven't said why this unit stopped nichols in the first place. savannah? >> thank you. turning to nbc senior legal correspondent laura jarrett for more perspective. you see charges coming this swiftly. it certainly suggests that prosecutors feel they have a strong case. >> yeah, these cases are never easy. convictions are never the norm. it's not always the case that it's a slam dunk. clearly, the prosecutors must believe the video is so compelling in this case, we haven't seen the video but we

have described as simply horrific. prosecutors must believe the video is going to make their case. as you know, the defense is the officer believed his life or his fellow officer was in danger. >> we will see the video a little bit later today. the key charge here is second-degree murder. that is the most serious charge that could have been pressed under these facts. >> yeah, under these facts it looks like this is the highest it could go. second-degree murder, the basic issue is that the officers must have been reasonably certain what they were doing that day was going to kill tyre nichols. >> intentional killing? >> you didn't have to intend -- to set out that day. imagine we get in a fight. i pick up a bat, hit you over the head. i should know that could reasonably cause your death even if i didn't walk into the fight intending to kill you. it requires you to be reasonably certain that could happen. >> all five officers here have been charged identically all the same charges we have already seen at least one defense attorney saying something happened to this young man that my client is not the

perpetrator. tell us how this dynamic might unfold as we go along. >> yeah, watch for the finger-pointing to happen. we saw this in the case of derek chauvin. that former minneapolis police officer where the other officers said i didn't do it but look what he did. that's what you could potentially see here you hear the defense attorney setting it up a saying a line was crossed but it wasn't my guy. i think that's what you want to watch out for. you also see the prosecutors making interesting charging decisions about official misconduct and mentioning at the press conference yesterday you don't have to be the one that is physically hindering him if you are watching it, you have a duty to intervene. that's part of the charging decisions here >> there were a lot of other charges. what do you make -- kidnapping among them you talked about the use of excessive force. they are throwing the book at these defendants >> it shows they think they have a strong case likely tied to what is on that video. and wanting to make an

aggressive decision to go after them as hard as they could >> thank you very much let's move to the war in ukraine. several major cities surveying the damage from those russian missile strikes as we learn that u.s. tanks may not arrive there anytime soon nbc's raf sanchez is in ukraine for us now hey, raf, good morning >> reporter: hoda, good morning. some areas of ukraine struggling to get the electricity back on after the russian strikes targeting the power grid yesterday. president zelenskyy says this is a deliberate tactic by the russians to hurt civilians in what is turning out to be a cold and punishing winter this morning, ukraine battered but defiant. picking up the pieces after a wave of deadly russian missile strikes launched hours after the west's decision to give battle tanks. 11 people killed according to officials in the attacks aimed mainly at ukraine's power grid president zelenskyy saying every russian missile against our

cities, every iranian drone used by terrorists is an argument for more weapons the president also telling sky news about family life during wartime. >> i think that they love me, and it's not about thinking. i feel it. >> reporter: his young kids who he sees rarely forced to grow up fast. >> all our children, adults, and all of them, they speak about war. >> reporter: as heavy fighting rages, a race against time to get nato tanks into action the german leopard 2s likely to reach the battlefield by march according to germany's defense minister the american m1 abrams, perhaps a year from reaching ukraine, u.s. officials say before the war, this man was a tour guide today he is a military volunteer and his tours showcase russia's destruction in kharkiv this is a tailor shop destroyed by russian missiles. he takes us to a place you won't find in the guidebook. we can't show you the outside of

this building but this is a warehouse where volunteers are stockpiling supplies medical supplies, blankets, baby food, sometimes the easiest meal for soldiers in the trenches whatever we get for the ukrainian army immediately goes to the front line, he says the moment we get it, we ship it immediately. ordinary people pulling together and working for victory. and the kremlin spokesman today suggesting president biden could end this war and end it quickly if only he would put pressure on ukraine to surrender that, of course, is something the president said he will not do hoda >> all right raf sanchez for us there in ukraine. thank you. moving to mixed messages on the economy here at home wall street received good news thursday the gdp beating expectations it comes as we hear about layoffs, especially at tech companies. tom costello is here to tell us what it all means. a little confusing a mixed bag. good news for the economy or bad

news >> mixed but the bottom line is the data shows the economy remains resilient for now anyway and a mixed bag but here is the good news. concerns about the potential recession, they continue to loom but that 2.9% gdp stat was better than expected at the end of '22 the economy still growing as of the end of december. another good sign. consumer spending was still strong and most indicators say inflation is well off the 40-year highs. that we saw mid year good news on the jobs front. new jobless claims last week were lower than expected but at the federal reserve raised interest rates seven times now layoffs, especially a big wave of layoffs in the tech sector. others, too, including dow chemical, ibm and hasbro overall, there are more jobs than workers to fill them. the unemployment rate at a 50-year low. so a real mixed bag.

layoffs but low unemployment rate, rising interest rates but still solid economic growth so far. >> you talked about good news on consumer spending. what about the ways americans are saving what are you learning? >> people are starting to burn through cash reserves and are now building up credit card debt the concern is that people who have been laid off could quickly burn through those cash reserves and any severance they get so rising credit card debt is not a good sign for the economy. >> here we go again with the fed. they are deciding whether or not they should raise interest rates. what do you think will happen? >> quarter point hike, another one is expected next week and most economists think we could see yet another hike after that. that may be it, but the economy is clearly cooling and the concern is if the fed hikes too many times, the economy could turn negative, we could go into a recession sometime this year but, again, at the end of last year, strong economic growth kind of a head-scratcher. >> tom costello for us there in d.c. thank you. craig is with us back from

assignment in south carolina now, this is a story a little farther away from earth about an asteroid getting close >> close, close, savannah, hoda, good morning good morning to you as well. nasa calling it a, quote, very close encounter for earth. an asteroid about the size of a delivery truck passes within 2,200 miles of the earth's surface. this happened last night the fly-by happened over the southern tip of south america. scientists call it one of the closest approaches to earth ever recorded but added there was no concern because nasa's impact hazard assessment system, yes, that is a thing, called scout, ruled out a direct hit while you were sleeping -- >> i think i heard it. maybe that was snoring next to me. >> probably. let's say good morning to al what you got >> we are looking at some of the coldest air of the season getting ready to come in since christmas as we show you what's happening.

jury saw police body cam video from the scene and heard murdaugh's call to 911 and were presented with the first witness testimony of the trial >> reporter: this morning, new evidence in the murdaugh double murder trial prosecutors presented body cam videos showing the crime scene and the weapon they say was used in the killings for the first time and also playing alex murdaugh's unsettling 911 call for the jury. >> are they breathing? >> no, ma'am. >> you said it's your wife and son? >> my wife and my son. >> reporter: the prosecution offered the first witness testimony of the case. >> there appeared to be a large amount of blood around each of them. >> reporter: first responders describing a horrific crime scene. >> did he ask you to confirm if they were dead >> he did. he asked multiple times while i was on scene. >> reporter: with alex murdaugh standing nearby. >> it's official that they are
