12:03 pm

12:04 pm
have had a lot of kids coming in saying they wanted to skateboard because it's something that tyre did. >> ellison barber, thank you. the most dangerous round of sleet, snow and freezing rain is moving across the south right now. the power of this winter storm system has already been felt in texas. over the past 48 hours crews there have responded to more than 150 crashes and at least eight people have died across texas and arkansas. here is a sobering statistic for you. dallas has had less than two inches so far this season that's more than new york city, philadelphia and washington, d.c. combined. nbc news meteorologist bill karins has the forecast in just a second. let's turn to guad venegas first in memphis, tennessee. i know memphis isn't used to ice like this. i know you grew up in california and live in miami now. you look like you're struggling out there, my friend. talk to us about what the conditions are like and how

12:06 pm
in texas seven dead and one in arkansas. the authorities keep saying these are vehicles that run into an icy patch and then have an accident. >> let's turn to bill karins here. how much of this third round of ice is there going snob when does it melt away? >> tomorrow it melts away. we have about 18 hours of below freezing temperatures especially in areas of central texas. that's where the most significant tree damage will be done by now until tomorrow. that's where power outages are likely. we've already had over 300,000 out. the number continues to grow. it's this area from dallas to abilene and this area around stephenville. that's where the heaviest freezing rain is going. all the pink is freezing rain, from waco to dallas to abilene. north of that is more sleet. a significant period near the mississippi river. additional ice, still more to come around little rock, but
12:07 pm

12:08 pm
so we or looking at what the fed chairman is going to say about whether we're going to see on going increases as was indicated in the fed statement. what he said is it's a problem if they do too little and then inflation swings back. >> they're in a crazy situation, trying to find the goldilocks moment. consumers, credit card olders, mortgage holders, everything else, what does this .25% moan? >> it means a significant amount considering they're not done yet. at least that's what the fed chairman said a few moments ago. >> restoring price stability is essential to achieve maximum employment and stable prices over the longer run. the historical record cautions strongly against prematurely loosening policy. we will stay the course until the job is done. >> and making sure that job is done is going to make sure consumers, credit cardholders, you'll see your rates go up over

12:10 pm
the white house, are there additional locations that might be subject to an fbi search. let's take a listen. >> i think we're providing information as this goes on and answering questions of the search activity as they've been happening. i don't want to speak too much to the doj's practices. as is appropriate like we did today, if we have information to share about activities con dubtd, we will do that. >> harry, maybe it was better to say didn't answer the question posed to him. we know in a statement from bob bauer, the search lasted about 4 1/2 hours, far less than the 12 hours the search of his wilmington ton home lasted. it's notable that they didn't find classified documents but did take again some handwritten materials which we understand may have classified information. there's a discrepancy here that's going to be a part of this search and this investigation moving forward. >> mike memoli, thank you so much. appreciate it, sir. job creation slowed last

bottom of the hour now. here are stories making headlines on "nbc news daily." >> former south carolina governor nikki haley is moving closer to launching a presidential bid. according to three sources familiar with the rollout, haley is setting the stage to make the big announcement two weeks from now on february 15th. haley served as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations for two years during the trump administration. the white house has confirmed that the controversial border policy known as title 42 could end with the end of the covid national public health emergency on may 11th. the ban was initially put in
12:31 pm
place by the trump administration at the start of the pandemic it allowed border agents to expel 2.3 million migrants over public health concerns. set your clocks, get your telescope, a green comet set to buzz by the earth. it should start to be visible about 6:49 eastern time tonight and again at 9:46, it's expected to disappear tomorrow at about 6:00 in the morning. today is the eighth day of testimony in the testimony of alec murdaugh, the former attorney accused of killing his wife and son. today prosecutors are focusing on maggie and paul murdaugh's cell phones. nbc correspondent catie beck is following the trial today. the jury just saw a video from the son paul's phone that the
12:32 pm
prosecutor talked about in his opening statement. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: i think we've all been awaiting this zip i don't, waiting to see what we'll see and hear. the prosecutors said in opening statements you can clearly hear alec murdaugh's voice in this video taken about an hour before he called 911. we're talking about a 10:07 call to police. this was happening just before 9:00 p.m. on that video paul murdaugh is filming a dog he's showing to his friend. in the background they say you can hear both maggie and the voice of alec murdaugh. the defense is going to argue that's not him and it's possibly someone else and you can't see him on camera. we haven't gotten to that portion of the day just yet. they did have an expert on the stand weigh in and verify there were three people here that night. here is what he said. >> it is a video i found on paul murdaugh's phone.
12:33 pm
the video looked like inside maybe a kennel area with a fence around it and a dog i believe to be a lab where he's trying to take a video of the tail of the dog. you hear three different voices in the video. >> reporter: the biggest problem with this video is that alec murdaugh has said he was never in that kennel that night until he discovered the bodies just before 10:00. so it really does poke a whole in a lot of the story, the version of events he's given to investigators saying he wasn't there. we'll see what the jury believes on that. >> catie, i understand there's been significant focus on maggie's cell phone, too. what are we learning from that? >> reporter: well, we know maggie's phone received five missed calls that evening while she was in the kennel, about five missed calls from alec murdaugh's phone to her phone.
12:34 pm
police say when they recovered alec murdaugh's phone months later those calls were not in the call log, suggesting they had been deleted. again, planting more seeds of suspicion that perhaps evidence was tampered with. perhaps murdaugh wanted those calls to go away. why would he call her five times on that night. so definitely planting seeds of suspicion with the jury by bringing up that line of questioning, too. >> catie beck, thank you very much. the man accused of kidnapping and torturing a woman in oregon is now dead. law enforcement says benjamin foster died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. he's believed to have been using dating apps while the target of a manhunt to find victims or other people to help him evade police. nbc news correspondent steve patterson joins us now with the latest. there was a standoff, but he took his own life. other details? >> reporter: we're still learning that, harry.
12:35 pm
we'll know a whole lot more in a news conference scheduled for later today. suffice it to say, this is a weeks' long manhunt over the entire state of oregon. all they have to do is focus where they found the victim. later we saw images of a man walking a small dog that reportedly was foster. they've narrowed in that drag net on a neighborhood where they say he was hiding under a house. we then saw a significant police presence there. then later hearing he was in custody. then after that later hearing he was in custody and with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and that he died at the hospital. police, though, say this man was armed, that he was dangerous, was a threat to the public. warning the public not to approach but also asking for their help for that capture we'll find out if the public did
12:36 pm
help in that news conference when we learn more. obviously have their man. >> any word on the progress of the victim? >> reporter: no. we've heard from the family. we've heard from police. we're hearing she's still in very critical condition. this is eight days after they found her. we don't have particulars. we don't have details on her exact condition, on the particulars of how she was injured, only that police are saying she was tortured intentionally and that they were horrified by the scene that they saw. they say it will stick with them forever. you can only imagine how bad it must have been. she's still recovering. her family says she will get through this and obviously they wanted to bring this man to justice. harry. >> steve patterson with us, thanks. as the memphis community remembers tyre nichols today, nbc news has exclusive new reporting about one of the officers charged in his death. two memphis residents say they once had a violent encounter with former police officer emmitt martin iii. he's one of five officers filed after nichols' death.
12:37 pm
digital national reporter dion hampton joins us from memphis where he's been gathering some of the reporting on this. dion, what do we know about the interaction between these two men and the police officer. >> reporter: i was on the ground doing reporting and came across two guys who said the police officers rode up on them. because one had a registered gun and were smoking marijuana, they drove away from the scene and ended up crashing their car two miles down the road. what happened after that, one of the office, emmitt martin iii chased them down after a brief pursuit and put a gun to both the suspects' faces and threatened to blow their faces off. this was backed up in court -- >> go ahead. i'm sorry. >> this was backed up in court documents, affidavits. this was a very true story i just happened to come across
12:38 pm
while i was here. >> the officer in question has been fired. we know that. obviously this is adding to the narrative of what's been an issue for this community. are there other things the department is doing to try to address the broader concerns here? >> reporter: there was more paramedics who was fired, a lot more officers being investigated. i would like for that investigation to continue at the local level and by possibly the doj and the district attorney's office. >> deon hampton, thank you. a group of migrants seeking asylum remain camped outside a new york city hotel in protest. >> the city asked the migrants to leave the rooms in their hotel and go to an emergency relief shelter in brooklyn. the migrants say the conditions at that shelter are unacceptable. maya, how did this evolve into a standoff. >> for the third consecutive night migrants camped out in
12:39 pm
front of the hotel yesterday. they arrived seeking asylum about two month ago. most are from venezuela. immigration services placed them in roots at the watson hotel. earlier this month new york city mayor announced that they would be moved to a new emergency response and relief center. adams said the watson hotel was needed for the families. activists have joined them in protesting outside the watson hotel, bringing survival supplies. according to the mayor's office, more than 41,000 asylum-seekers have arrived in new york city since last spring. he's called on the federal government to help. it's unclear if that's going to be happening. harry. >> i remember hearing about this, some of the guys went in for the first time and just walked out immediately. what is it, the brooklyn cruise
12:40 pm
ship terminal? >> yeah. it's down over there. >> what else can you tell us? >> it's been described as a thousand bed facility located at the brooklyn cruise terminal. some of the main concerns that migrants and activists have expressed are about the temperature of the facility, the lack of privacy and the quality of each bed. limited laundry services and the location. immigration officials say these perceptions are the result of misinformation about the facility. yesterday new york's commissioner of immigration affairs, manuel castro, went to the facility himself with a group of protesters to try and change their minds. they remained unconvinced. the migrants also say the location is too far from public transportation, and the limited job options available for them in the city. for now they're choosing to stay on the sidewalk until a better option is provided. >> maya eaglin, thanks so much. coming up, how some colleges are providing emergency contraception to students at the push of a
