hey, everyone, i'm tom llamas. >> i'm kathy park. erin and kate have the day off. "nbc news daily" starts right now. here we go, today is friday, february 10th, 2023, and we start with some breaking news. shot down again. days after taking out a chinese spy balloon, the white house says it downed another high altitude object, what we're learning about what was just shot down and why? sobering reality from the death toll of this devastating earthquake in syria, now

surpassing 23,000. the desperate search for survivors and the miracle beneath the rubble after a teenager trapped for nearly four days is pulled out alive. mystery solved, an arrest four decades in the making. how california police found a murderer hiding in plain sight. countdown to kickoff, big bucks expected to be wagered on sunday's super bowl game. we begin this hour with breaking news. >> the white house confirming the u.s. military took down a second high altitude object over alaska. it comes just days after the u.s. shot down that chinese spy balloon off the south carolina coast. >> let's get right to nbc news homeland security reporter julia ainsley. so julia, we just heard from national security spokesperson john kirby, what did he have to say? >> it was interesting, he did confirm this after our kelly o'donnell asked him about it. he said there was an object that was shot down over alaska, and

he did not want to attribute its ownership. in other words, not necessarily saying, yes, this is another chinese spy balloon, even though that's obviously the question on everyone's mind. here's what he had to say. >> so i can confirm that the department of defense was tracking a high altitude object over alaska air space in the last 24 hours. president biden ordered the military to down the object, and they did, and it came inside our territorial waters. those waters right now are frozen, but inside territorial air space and over territorial waters. fighter aircraft assigned to u.s. northern command took down the object within the last hour. >> so that was kirby's response to kelly o'donnell's question. of course that original reporting came here from nbc. courtney kube, our pentagon correspondent was the first to find out just last week about the chinese balloon that was eventually shot down over south carolina. she also found out about this one.

i point that out not just to toot the horns of my own colleagues but to share that the pentagon is not freely giving this information. it's only because the media is finding out about it, and in fact, that could be a source of frustration for some members of congress who want the pentagon to do more to tell them and the public more upfront about these threats that apparently have persisted long before last week. >> all right, julia stand by for us. i want to bring in now nbc news white house correspondent monica alba. the chinese were not happy when we shot down this first spy balloon, and now this happened. how is this escalating the situation with that other superpower? >> just to echo what julia was just saying there, this is remarkable. the fact that this came up mid white house briefing that was on a completely different topic. they were announcing that the president was going to be traveling to poland later this month. somebody said there's a rumor that there was another high flying object, can you tell us about it. the fact that the national security spokesman comes out and talks about this entire military operation that has just unfolded in the last 90 minutes or so is

something that really we don't see happen very often here, and of course it is extra notable because of what we just saw take place in the last we can or so with that chinese surveillance balloon that really traveled across the united states over many sensitive military sites, even though military officials say that they were able to limit some of the potential surveillance capabilities of that balloon before the president authorized the pentagon to shoot it down. we saw that take place over a longer period of time before it was taken out over water, parts of which are now being recovered. with this smaller, high flying object, we don't know who owns it. we don't know much more about it. we're told it's the size of a small car. the president learned of it last night. he decided this morning it should be shot down, and then we saw that happen fairly quickly. this will raise a lot more questions about, again, who was trying to do this, what kind of thing. what was notable tom here too is that the white house saw it did

pose a reasonable threat to civilian flight, and that is why they felt they needed to get it out of the air and over some frozen waters in alaska where they do hope to recover pieces of it to learn more. >> monica alba, julia ainsley on that breaking news. we're following more developing news. the death toll is rising in turkey and syria. nearly 24,000 people have now died from the earthquake. as each hour passes, the chances of finding new survivors diminishes. in spite of that we are still seeing several cases of people being pulled out alive. >> that includes this 10-day-old baby and its mother. they were both saved from underneath the debris of a collapsed building, were trapped for nearly four days. international search and rescue crews are working around the clock. they also have to be careful. according to the u.s. geological survey, more than 170 earthquakes and aftershocks have been recorded in that region this week. it includes one off the coast of syria in the mediterranean sea. >> with that nbc news foreign correspondent kelly cobiella joins us live from southern

turkey. rescue crews are still making their way through the rubble. what have they still been finding? and we're now going 100 hours plus into the search and rescue effort. >> reporter: yeah, tom, you mentioned in the lead-in there that incredible rescue earlier today of a 10-day-old baby and her mother. not far from here there was anothend today and a 17-year-ol was pulled out alive. incredible emotional reunion between the 17-year-old boy and his mother, and also it was the rescue workers that she thought about this for four days. she said she didn't sleep for four days. she was so determined to bring him out alive. we don't know a huge amount of how they found him or when they found him, but an incredible scene. it's scenes like that that reverberate to where i am. you can't see it right now

because the debris truck has just pulled up but just beyond it where that crane is that used to be an eight-story apartment building. you can see the building right next to it, it's looking pretty precarious. that's something that they have to watch out for, especially with what you mentioned with aftershocks. but they're determined to continue looking there. they haven't found anyone alive, haven't brought out anyone alive since yesterday morning. they have sadly brought out some bodies today. they made some identifications. it's an incredibly emotional scene here just a couple of hours ago and a family member found out that their loved one had died, but they're still looking. every once in a while they call for silence. they listen for signs of life, and they'll continue doing it through the night, guys. >> kelly cobiella joining us life from turkey, kelly, thank you so much for those updates. more breaking news, the fbi has just left former vice president mike pence's indiana home where they found and

removed one additional classified document. it comes a day after pence was subpoenaed by special counsel jack smith. smith is investigating former president donald trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election as well as his role in the january 6th attack on the capitol. let's bring in nbc news senior congressional correspondent garrett haake. today a search of pence's home was scheduled in advance. tell us more about what exactly they found? >> yeah, two separate stories on two separate legal challenges for the former vice president. on the fbi search, this was prescheduled, prenegotiated with the former vice president and the department of justice, and in a statement, as you mentioned just within the last few moments an adviser to the former vice president says that one additional document with classified markings was found and removed as were several other documents without classified markings. those were removed as well. remember, this comes just a few weeks after the former vice president's own lawyers searched that home. they found what has been described as a small number of classified documents.

they put them in a safe, and they called the department of justice to come pick them up. we will see whether this changes the doj's posture towards the former vice president. he does not have a special counsel appointed to review this matter. there was no warrant issued here. this was a preplanned search with the former vice president and his wife out of the home today for the five-hour duration of the fbi's search. >> all right, garrett haake, thank you. there are some new legal dwmts surrounding the deadly shooting on the set of alec baldwin's movie "rust." he's already charged with involuntary manslaughter. now the actor is facing a new civil lawsuit from the family of cinematographer that was killed there. nbc news correspondent dana griffin is following this for us. what can you tell us about this new lawsuit that's just been filed? >> reporter: so tom, this is a wrongful death lawsuit being filed in california on behalf of halyna hutchins parents and sister in ukraine. it relies on a new mexico law that allows close family members to be compensated in some cases.

the suit alleges battery, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and compensation for damage. the family's attorney beliefs that they are entitled to these damages because halyna would have been supporting them if she were still alive. listen. >> when halyna was taken away by baldwin and the "rust" producers, they delivered a wound that will last forever. a gaping wound that never will be healed, and the only thing that can make that a little bit better is justice. >> reporter: so baldwin and armorer hannah gutierrez-reed are also facing a weapons enhancement charge which could add five years to a sentence if either is found guilty. now, lawyers for both defendants are calling the gun enhancement charge a clear violation of the constitution because it was not

on the books when the incident happened. the d.a. says its office is actively reviewing the applicable laws. tom. >> all right, dana griffin for us, dana, we appreciate it. oil prices may be on the rise and spacex is one step closer to making it to mars. >> let's start with oil, crude is up about 2% today after russia said it will cut its daily oil production by roughly 5% in an effort to raise prices. so russia's doing this in response to the west's price caps on russian exports. that was put in place because of punishment for putin's invasion of ukraine. analysts right now are saying an increase from china will push oil as well as gasoline prices higher in the coming months. also, spacex is hoping to launch its first orbital flight as soon as next month after a successful engine test for its starship spacecraft on the

ground in south texas. and a jersey worn by kobe bryant has auctioned for $5.8 million. that's the most expensive bryant item and the second most expensive jersey sold in an auction. they won't let us know who bought it. >> 5.8 million, that's wild. >> it's priceless. clearly there is a price there, i mean, 5.8. >> kristina, thank you so much for that. coming up, how one texas kmoount is demanding accountability after nearly a double high school students overdosedn fentanyl. sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression overdosedn fentanyl. o feel darkest before dawn. with caplyta, there's a chance to let in the lyte. caplyta is proven to deliver significant relief across bipolar depression. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta treats both bipolar i and ii depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common.

harris, and police say harris drove at them at a high rate of speed at an apartment complex, that when they approached his car, they smelled marijuana and that harris then put the car in reverse and got out and ran on foot, but harris says that his car was surrounded by a group of men in black hoodies and ski mask who is did not identify themselves as police. he says he thought he was being carjacked and so he did attempt to drive away, but when he got out of the car, he realized that they were police. take a listen to what he told me happened next. >> he grabbed me and he slung me around and another officer grabbed me, and then they began to hit me and punch on me and one of the guys threw me to the ground, hit my head on the concrete, and kind of busted my head open a little bit. >> reporter: and harris is now suing the city for $5 million alleging that they violated his constitutional rights. the city did not respond to our request for comment about that, but the shelby county d.a.'s

office says this could certainly call into question more cases against the scorpion unit overall and not just the five officers who were involved in the death of tyre nichols. tom. >> yeah, and as you mentioned, those five officers, we also know a sixth was added to that list last week. what have we learned about him? >> right, that's exofficer preston hemphill who we know his attorney says was not at the second scene, but he was at that initial traffic stop, and today there is damning new evidence emerging about his role in that initial stop including that his initial statement that tyre nichols was pulled over for driving recklessly and at a high speed, hemphill says he didn't actually see tyre nichols doing that. he also says that his initial statement, which said that he saw nichols grab for his partner's gun was also not what he saw. he says he saw nichols grab for something, and officials are saying that isn't corroborate ed by any of the video that they have seen, and all of this

the courthouse in walterboro, south carolina, walk us through the testimony jurors just heard today. >> reporter: it has been another busy day. we started the morning hearing from an attorney named mark tensley who represents the family of mallory beach killed in a boating accident in 2019, a boat that was allegedly driven by an intoxicated paul murdaugh who has now since been killed. he was the youngest son of the current defendant in this case alex murdaugh. we then heard from a former housekeeper for the murdaugh family. this housekeeper was very close with maggie murdaugh, and she went into detail about a conversation she had with maggie murdaugh prior to her death. a lot of talk centered around her concerns as it relates to the lawsuit the attorney we first heard from was bringing up against the murdaughs as well as others related to that 2019

boating accident. listen. >> she was worried because a lawsuit had been presented stating that they wanted $30 million, maggie was crying. maggie said we don't have that kind of money, blanca. she said if i could give them everything that i got and make this go away, she said i would do it in a heartbeat. she said she knew the amount of money that they were asking but she felt that alex was not being truthful to her with regard to what exactly was going on with that lawsuit. she said he doesn't tell me everything. >> reporter: so that lawsuit the attorney who was involved in that, he said in his testimony today that once he found out paul and maggie murdaugh had died, he felt like the case that he had against alex murdaugh in that specific civil case, that it was over because a jury would not want to convict him because

they would feel too sympathetic for him if they field some vigilante murderer had killed his family. he said alex murdaugh being an experienced attorney like he is, he would have known that that would have put that case up in the air. so they're all points, moments that the prosecution has brought forward to try to make the case that alex murdaugh was having serious financial problems, a lot of lies, a lot of history was compounding at once and he killed his family to distract from that. >> ellison barber for us today, thank you. authorities in california have announced that new genealogical research has helped them solve two cold cases that have remained open for over four decades. police have arrested this man, 68-year-old tony garcia in connection to the rape and murders of rachel zendajas. for decades he lived undetected a few miles from where these murders took place. nbc news correspondent julia jester joins us now. so julia, there is one suspect

here linked to two cold cases. what do we know about these murders prior to this arrest? >> well, kathy, it wasn't even clear at first that the crimes were even connected. 20-year-old rachel zen dayhas was found in january of 1981. months later in december, the other victim 21-year-old lisa gondek was found strangled in a bathtub. both women had visited the same nightclub before they were killed, but that's where the leads ended at the time. it wasn't until years later in 2004 that dna testing linked the murders to each other but not to a killer. >> just a follow-up to that, julia. how exactly were investigators able to connect garcia to this crime? >> fast forward to this year when authorities used genetic genealogy which pulls from public family trees for investigative research, and learned that garcia, who's a

navy veteran and a former martial arts instructor could be the killer. a new dna test confirmed his involvement in both crimes. the oxnard police chief said investigators have identified a number of common denominators that link the cases, which will likely come out during the trial. authorities arrested garcia earlier this week. he appeared before a judge for the first time on thursday and will appear in court next in two weeks. garcia's facing two counts of capital murder charges. and after four painful decades, the victims' families will hopefully soon receive justice and closure. kathy. >> julia jester, thank you. we're going to switch gears here a bit. it is game on for football fans. super bowl weekend is pretty much here. >> we are now just two days away for counting for the big game between the philadelphia eagles and kansas city chiefs. crews are putting finishing

touches on state farm stadium in glendale stadium ahead of history making matchup. let's start our super bowl coverage with nbc's shaquille brewster in glendale, arizona, home of super bowl lvii for us. this is the first time that the big game is being held in a state where sports betting is legal. what does this mean for the game? >> reporter: according to the american gaming association, more than 50 million americans are casting a bet for this super bowl game. that equates to about $60 billion that have been bet. that includes formal bet and online bets and bets at the sportsbook, which is on the same campus as the super bowl stadium. i want you to listen to a little bit of my conversation with the ceo of bet mgm, about the transition we've been seeing in this industry. >> one of the advantages of the industry now being legal and

regulated, what we're seeing is progressive innovation. a lot of capital going into improving the product, expanding wagers options, and that's good for fans. it enhances the entertainmen. >> reporter: everyone i've talked to out here is expecting a close game, and that includes the people setting the odds. the eagles only slightly favored to win on sunday. >> all right, shaq brewster, i like the neutral colors there. >> can't tell who he's rooting for. >> history will be made at the super bowl on sunday. >> for the first time ever two black quarterbacks will be leading their teams onto the field. the moment symbolizes racial progress. nigh ella charms spoke to the first black quarterback to win a super bowl doug williams about what it took to get to this moment. >> reporter: patrick mahomes and

jalen hurts are making super bowl history. two black quarterbacks will lead their teams in the super bowl for the first time. >> i think it's history. i think it's something that's worthy of being noted and it is history. it's come a long way. >> reporter: since the nfl's first championship in 1920, there haven't been many black starting quarterbacks, and even fewer have made it to the super bowl stage. the first one to ever win the big games, doug williams in 19 # 8. >> it's a historical moment trt nfl and football fans across the world. >> do you think it took too long to get here? >> took way too long, and i say that because the nfl is over 100 years old. >> although the majority of nfl players are black now, the leadership positions have historically been reserved for white men. in 1920, fitz pollard, a black qb started in the league's inaugural championship, but by 1933 after the last two black players left the league, it banned black players. >> there was just this understanding that we're going to be like baseball.

we're not going to have any blacks in the league. >> reporter: the ban was lifted 13 years later, but even then what historians called racial stacking came into play. >> there were no black quarters, there were no black centers, no black middle linebackers. >> the thing that has always been is the leadership positions. the myth that a black guy can't think. >> the problem continued into the 2000s. from 2001 to 2010, only six of the 27 quarterbacks selected in the first round of the draft were black. even that was too many for some. >> i think what we've had here is a little social concern in the nfl. i think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. >> this year the most black starting quarterbacks in history. 11. >> for me this is total jubilation. >> but on the sidelines only three black head coaches. >> why do you think that is? >> that's a question that's easy to answer, you know, the owners got to make a decision. >> reporter: there has never been a black nfl team owner but now fans and athletes both

former and present are taking in this historic moment of progress as the entire nation gets ready for some football. >> who are you rooting for? >> i can't lose. >> reporter: doug williams told me he doesn't usually watch the super bowl from the stadium, but he says this game he cannot and will not miss because he has to see that one up close. back to you. >> all right, nyla charles, we thank you for that. americans are expected to bet big on this weekend's big game. up next, why experts are warning up next, why experts are warning that could be a

welcome back. in today's mental health check, we're talking to the survivors of mass shootings in schools. many who have lived through the violence, carried the burden of survivor's guilt, and that guilt can contribute to a series of mental health challenges. "today" show reporter danielle pampamor spoke to two shooting survivors on how they're trying to moou forward. >> 10-year-old daniel ruiz was a typical kid, he loved football, jokes. that changed when an 18-year-old entered daniel's school in uvalde, texas, armed with an ar-15 style rifle. daniel survived the shooting, his cousin ellie did not. >> before the shooting he used to be very loud, but he gets

very reserved now about the way he feels with certain things. >> daniel is grappling with something unimaginable at such a young age, survivor's guilt. he wishes he could have done something more to save his cousin. >> him feeling that way is because of how much he used to protect ellie, how much he used to always be there for her. >> reporter: perhaps not surprisingly, a third of mass shooting survivors develop some sort of acute stress disorder or are at greater risk for mental health difficulties. >> i do my best just to reassure him to tell him that, you know, it's not his fault. >> it really started in the most unremarkable way. >> reporter: sally garrigan understands, she was a high school junior during the 1999 columbine shooting. >> i'd be like why am i feeling so guilty about this, i almost felt mad about feeling sad because i got out unscathed and i kept suppressing my emotions. you're afraid to feel joy. you're afraid to do these things

because you're still living. >> reporter: sally realized how much guilt she was carrying, and got involved with the advocacy group. >> feeling that you are in a place where you are understood, where you don't have to explain what you're going through can be very healing and very important for survivors. >> reporter: and when i first spoke with daniel and his mom, he shared what he feels, like he's responsible for his cousin's death. >> me and ellie, we were like really close. that day i wasn't able to save her. >> reporter: a few days later when i caught up with daniel and his mom again he'd had a tough day and didn't feel like talking much. >> yeah, no, he's feeling it today. >> i understand. >> reporter: but daniel was able to answer one important question. >> what do you want people to know about ellie and her classmates? >> that they were all good

people. >> danielle, campamor nbc news. >> also in today's mental health check, we are looking ahead to super bowl sunday. for some people it's more than just a game. americans are expected to bet a record $60 billion on the big game this sunday. that's twice as much as last year. our aaron gilchrist spoke with an expert about why this weekend could trigger risky behavior. >> returning to dr. ryan wade a psychiatrist at silver hill hospital in connecticut to help us understand this topic a little bit more. we appreciate you being here. you know, we know there's an estimated one in five americans who is expected to bet on the super bowl this weekend. when does casual betting on a game like this turn into something worse, something that's an actual gambling addiction? >> we see gambling become more of an addiction or when we're seeing folks getting into periods of financial distress related to the amount of gambling that they're doing

often having to rely on others, their loved ones to kind of bail out their gambling losses or potentially they return to gambling to get even and make up their losses in gambling. it kind of begets this cycle of continuous gambling and becoming more financially distressed. >> if someone is worried that they or someone they love is struggling with a gambling disorder and may not be fully aware of it or is fully aware of it, what sort of treatment options are available now? >> so one of our most commonly used forms of psychotherapy, behavioral therapy has some evidence behind it in being able to reduce gambling behavior or problem gambling behavior. we also use the motivational enhancement therapy often. there's a peer support group, gamblers anonymous, which is quite similar to alcoholics anonymous, for those who have difficulty with alcohol use, that has some evidence behind it as well. for those that are trying to reach out and get any sort of support or services, the

national council on problem gambling has a hot line that folks can call and it can direct you to resources in the area that might be of help. >> that's good to know. you know, at the same time, we know this weekend is also the first time the super bowl is going to be played in a state where sports betting is actually legal. are you concerned at all about a potential increase in gambling disorders, especially as we look at sports betting becoing something that's available nationwide in the not too distant future? >> yeah, it's certainly a concern. you know, what we see from the individuals that do develop a gambling disorder, they're more likely to develop a gambling disorder and that disorder is more likely to be severe if they're getting involved with gambling at a young age like in adolescence. the greater access to it both in terms of the state where is it's legalized as well as the fact that we can access it on a phone now, you can just log onto an app, you can bet whenever is convenient for you. >> all right, dr. ryan wade, we
