hi, everybody. i'm kate snow. >> and i'm savannah sellers in for aaron gilchrist. thank you for joining us. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today is tuesday, march 14, 2023. breaking news, catastrophic flooding. yet another severe weather system drenching storm-ravaged california. the damage millions could be facing and where the powerful storm is heading next. breaking the bank. the federal government investigating now the collapse of silicon valley bank.

what this could mean for potential charges. swinging back, tiger woods' legal challenges. why he's trying to keep the latest scandal out of court. and club med. doctors say a mediterranean diet could lower your chances of developing dementia. we'll share the recipe. we begin this hour with that extreme weather slamming both the east and the west coast today. >> on the east coast a late-season nor'easter, actually also the first of the season. it's burying parts of new england under more than a foot of snow. new york's governor is already declaring a state of emergency. >> on the west coast millions are under a flood warning after days of unrelenting snow and rain out there. now there are fears about potentially life threatening flooding, mud slides and avalanches. with us is meteorologist bill karins. there was so much flooding yesterday. what's the concern now? >> reporter: right now the

people who live here about 1,700 residents under an evacuation order for days want to know when they will be able to return to their homes and at this point officials say they still don't know when. the issue is in the last couple of days they have struggled to find shelter in food and other basic necessities. because they had to leave so quickly on friday, many have struggled to get to resources the county and state do have. because they had to leave so quickly because of the flooding, many of them had to leave their cars behind. they can't get to the shelters or can't get those resources and people tell me they don't know how long they can hold on like this. now that immediate need, the necessities they left at their homes like medication, clothes, food, bottled water that they need because the water here is contaminated, they also don't know when they will be able to return to work because the strawberry fields here are flooded, and many of them work on those fields.

this community is largely made up of migrants. it's a low-income community. a lot of them are farmworkers. they're really in deep desperation here. savannah? kate? >> are they living with friends or where are people who evacuated? >> reporter: there's a mixture. some people are living with friends, some people have been living in their cars for the last couple of days, some have been able to live in hotels. but as you can imagine, that's very expensive. those that are lucky enough to do that don't know how long they will be able to do so. it's a mix of the circumstances here. none of them ideal. savannah, kate? >> and, bill, you're tracking both systems impacting both coasts. let's start with the west. the storm system is moving onshore. we will see how bad the flooding in southern california. that's where we're seeing the highest impacts. rain has tapered off around san francisco, monterey. this bulk of heavy rain is what

we've been concerned with going to the coastal areas all the way to los angeles and once it gets up there in the mountains, we're very concerned. people were stuck. those areas will get 4 to 5 inches of rain. with that snow melt and what happens with that run-off. so that's why we have the high risk of flash flooding here, all coastal areas south of monterey, los angeles in the moderate risk. mentioning the rainfall potentials, some of the possibilities, l.a. could get 3 inches of rain. 3 inches is like a lot of significant urban and street flooding and lake arrow head was one of those spots people were stranded, 5 inches of rain potentially on top of that snow that's melting. that's how we have 26 million people at risk there. in the northeast, i saw in massachusetts our first town with 30 inches of snow. >> bill karins, thank you. breaking right now the justice department and the security and exchange commission

are now officially investigating the collapse of silicon valley bank. nbc news is attributing three sources familiar with the matter. we've reached out to both agencies but have not got ann response from either. participate of what investigators are looking into involves executives' sales of stocks that happened right before the collapse. since the bank shut down friday, it's been increasingly under the microscope from the federal reserve as well as from congress. correspondent jake ward is following all the latest on this. tell us what investigators are focusing on. i mentioned that stock sale, what is it that's raising eyebrows? >> reporter: savannah, the question here is what did the executives at the company when they made that stock sale. reports in the past have shown those were prescheduled sales, the kind of thing a company like this one is required to report, and supposedly it was reported. but investigators taking the lead in northern california are going to be looking into that

not to mention layoffs that took place just before this. so a lot of scrutiny for silicon valley bank on top of its misfortune, savannah. >> we spoke yesterday about the administration -- the action the biden administration has been take to go try and prevent these ripple effects, stop people from panicking. but, look, this is scary. these are big headlines. for somebody who has their money in a regional bank, in a credit union, should they be worried? >> reporter: if you have less than $250,000 in the bank you are safe under fdic. the average american has less than $50,000. for the vast majority of people that is not a problem. the difficulty, of course, this question of the larger deposits. smaller, regional banks tend to have big corporate deposits on hand. those are in excess of $250,000 and that's why all these

regulations exempted from the dodd-frank are under scrutiny. >> there's a new inflation report out today. it shows the cost of everything we're buying remains high. the rate of inflation is steadily trending downward. february's consumer price index climbed 0.4% and 6% compared to one year ago. nbc news, business and data reporter brian cheung is here to break it down. where are we seeing good news, bad news? >> reporter: that 6% annual figure is lower than the 9.1% in the summer of last year. the bad news that is still well above the 2% economists say is healthy. what led to high inflation still. it's the cost of putting a roof over your head, shelter.

there's some signs based off more high frequency data but it hasn't bled through to the government data yet. we did see price declines in lettuce and eggs. the nation's economic steward has a lot of work to get the pressures back. >> let's talk about interest rates. the fed meets whether to raise them again. the failure jake ward was talking about, does that influence the decision? >> it does. prior to the weekend a one-track-minded approach, hike interest rates to get inflation down. one challenge, one of the dominos that led these banks to fail was higher interest rates.

that could trigger further bank closures. a possibility that i'm sure fed policymakers are thinking about. expectations the fed might not hike as aggressively as thought. some wall street firms predicting no interest rate hike at all. >> brian cheung for us, thank you. democratic lawmakers want walgreens to explain its decision to stop selling abortion medications in 20 states. >> they said the pharmacy chain could face legal consequences if it continued to sell the drugs in their states. chloe atkins is following this for us. what sort of lawmakers do these democratic -- what sort of actions do these democratic lawmakers want from walgreens when what they're talking about is something not in their state? >> we've seen democratic lawmakers, both senators and

governors, turning up the heat on these giant pharmacies. we saw them send a letter to walgreens urging them to clarify medication and abortion after these attorneys general came out threatening legal actions. the senator said your announcement caused a lot of confusion and your response to the attorneys generals was actually unacceptable. we did see them send letters to cvs, costco. and nbc news was the first to learn these letters were sent. this morning we saw these democratic governors follow up and echo to all of these giant pharmacies so, savannah, it's safe to say that they are applying the pressure and we are awaiting and looking how they

will react. >> walgreens has said they're working to get version rights so they can dispense this drug. probably the most common abortion medication. where is walgreens in the process and are the other major chains also going through the cvs and all the others going through the process? >> walgreens and cvs and after the rule change back in january they announced they would seek certification to dispense medication. it is unclear where they are in the process. something i am constantly asking about. we have yet had to plan to make headway in that world or in that. as it relates to the other folks, walmart, costco, we haven't heard whether they plan to seek certification. >> an important and complicated one. thank you so much.

a big legal setback for gig workers in california and an iconic pair of shoes up for auction. >> steve kovac joins us with our cnbc "money minute." >> reporter: purina is recalling more dry dog food. they put in too much vitamin d that can cause drooling, kidney dysfunction and increase thirst. if you have recalled kibble, toss it out and contact purina to get your refund. and a victory for uber and lyft and other gig companies. a california appeals court says they can classify as independent contractors instead of employees. prop 22 remains in force. exempting gig companies from having to provide workers with benefits. and sotheby's will auction an iconic pair of air jordans. michael jordan wore them in the

finals, his last nba season. they are estimated to sell for $2 million to $4 million, the most expensive sneakers ever sold at auction. my birthday is in july. >> $2 million to $4 million? i'll be thinking of you. thank you. coming up, how attorneys for tiger woods are trying to keep tiger woods are trying to keep s latesthi this is the sound of better breathing. fasenra is an add-on treatment for asthma d einophils. it helps prevent asthma attacks, improve breathing, and lower use of oral steroids. fasenra is not a rescue medication or for other eosinophilic conditions. fasenra may cause allergic reactions. get help right away if you have swelling of your face, mouth and tongue, or trouble breathing. don't stop your asthma treatments unless your doctor tells you to. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection or your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. ask your doctor about fasenra. ♪ it's the most wonderful time of the year ♪ headache and sore throat may occur. it's spring!

we have some breaking news out of california. the rape and sexual assault convictions of disgraced movie producer harvey weinstein will stand. a los angeles judge just ruled the case will not be retried. let's bring in correspondent dana griffin. explain how we got here who wanted to retry the case and what happened today. >> reporter: los angeles prosecutors have decided not to retry on additional rape and sexual assault charges vochg two women. now during last year's trial there was a mixed verdict, convicted on three charges related to one woman resulting in a 16-year sentence. the jury acquitted him of other charges relating to three other women. today the judge dismissed the additional charges and said weinstein will return to new york where he is appealing his conviction. he was sentenced to 23 years in that case. the former movie mogul's

attorney saying the district attorney wisely chose not to proceed on charges they know they can never prove. the attorney for governor's wife jennifer newsom said they will not retry weinstein. the jury could not reach a verdict on the charges relating to her experience we believe her testimony with the other rape victims' testimony led to weinstein's conviction and the 16-year sentence. weinstein's spokesperson says they plan to focus fully on clearing the soon-to-be 71-year-old, he will appeal convictions in both new york and los angeles. kate? >> dana, thank you. attorneys for tiger woods are trying to take his legal battle with his ex-girlfriend arbitration.

nbc news course kaylee hartung breaks down the fight. >> reporter: tiger woods is asking a florida court to help him keep his privatee prive. in a motion to enforce erica herman's nondisclosure agreement, woods' attorneys called her a jilted ex-girlfriend who wants to litigate. >> it's strong and inflammatory language but they need to be careful depending on what she has by way of evidence. >> reporter: woods and herman dated nearly six years. >> i want to say thank you to my mom, sam, erica, charlie. >> reporter: but they're now on opposite sides of a $30 million civil suit filed by herman in october. following their breakup, herman says woods violated an oral tenancy agreement that should have allowed her to continue living at his florida mansion and under the federal speak out law herman wants to invalidate the nondisclosure agreement she si in 2017 in order to share her own experiences, photographs and recordings related to various legal claims she believes she has.

ods' attorneys arguehe has no right. their response saying she has never asserted any claims for sexual assault or sexual harassment against mr. woods, does not do so in this case and cannot assert such claims truthfully. >> these are unchartered waters. these laws are recent. only passed last year. we haven't seen them tested in a case as high profile as this. >> the return to glory. >> reporter: woods is considered by many to be the greatest golfer of all time but his reputation off the course hasn't always been up to par with personal scandals and a drunk driving arrest on his record. two years after this near fatal crash, woods' legal battle with his most recent ex-girlfriend is spilling into public view. according to legal experts this motion from tiger's attorneys rman's team to beore specific about possible sexual assault or harassment or else they will face a greater risk of the case being dismissed to arbitration. the original nda was tightly

worded so they will look at the context behind herman originally signing the contract. it's likely a lot of this will play out behind closed doors. nbc news reached out to representatives of both woods and herman and did not receive a response. coming up, the effort to identify the i have moderate to severe crohn's disease. now, there's skyrizi. ♪ things are looking up ♪ ♪ i've got symptom relief ♪ ♪ control of my crohn's means everything to me. ♪ ♪ ♪ control is everything to me. ♪ feel significant symptom relief with skyrizi, including less abdominal pain and fewer bowel movements at 4 weeks. skyrizi is the first and only il-23 inhibitor for crohn's that can deliver both clinical remission and endoscopic improvement. the majority of people on skyrizi achieved long lasting remission at 1 year. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to. liver problems may occur in crohn's disease.

bottom the hour now and we are following breaking news. nbc news has confirmed a russian fighter jet collided with an unmanned u.s. drone over the black sea, nbc news pentagon correspondent has been following this. thank you for being with us, courtney. what can you tell us about what we know? what's the latest? and we have a response from the russians. from the russian side a couple of russian fighter jets, they were behaving in an unsafe and unprofessional manner.

including flying in front of this drone, a u.s. drone, flying in front of it, flying too close to it, and at some point even dropping jet fuel on top of it which i have to say we've been talking about intercepts for the first time. the first time i've heard of jet fuel being used in one of these incidents. it goss too close. black sea.ad to down it it was flying over international waters and they say, according to defense officials when they brought it down in that international water, they were able to wipe the software from it to ensure that, in fact, if someone else gets their hands on it like the russians, they■ wont be able to exploit the information. how the u.s. military, the pentagon is characterizing this event from brigadier general. here is what he had to say.

>> the key point here is that while intercepts are not that uncommon, the fact this type of behaviors is uncommon and unfortunate and unsafe. >> reporter: intercepts like this happen but at this level with this level of potential for not only a collision but a really catastrophic crash is. >> if we can put that map back up ts is the black sea where ukraine is. do we have any idea what that drone was doing up there and does this escalate a situation? >> reporter: all we know is according to the military, it was the u.s. military, they won't say more than that. they won't even say if the drone was armed. it has the ability to be armed. it was flying close to the crimea peninsula but the u.s. is saying over the black sea. both could be true. it could have been in international airspace and

reti close to the crimean peninsula depending on how you define close or near. one of the russian aircrafts damaged during this collision was able to land in crimea. it didn't crash. another question we have here is will the u.s. military try to salvage this drone? they don't have any salvage ships anywhere nearby. the only way to get to the black sea is through the strait. the turkish gernment owns it and they've been relatively resistant to allowing warships to transit that strait in recent months, kate. >> the russian ministryf defense hacommented. what are they saying? >> reporter: they have a different version of events, kate, saying the russian aircraft didn't ever collide with the u.s. aircraft, that it lost altitude and crashed into the ocean. they are denying they were involved in this in any way. they are alleging the u.s. aircraft didn't have its transponder on and accusing it of violating international rules

of airspace, essentially, by not having that activated at the time, kate. again, they have a very different version of events than we've heard from the u.s. military. >> courtney kube for us, it's a busy day. we have more breaking news. ohio's attorney general has filed a federal lawsuit against norfolk southern after last month's train derailment. dama to the state for environmental impacts but does not cover individual claims. the attorney general said tt railroads were still the safest way to transport large amounts of freight and called the derailment completely avoidable. we're learning how federal agents rescued a 13-year-old girl who was abducted from her home two weeks ago. valerie castro is following this for us. hey, valerie. >> reporter: we want to warn people off the bat the details of this story are disturbing. 34-year-old who are say camacho is facing charges for child

abduction, feonious restraint of a child, rape of a person under 15 and indecent liberties with a child. visitors say he was communicating with the 13-year-old through social media where he groomed her and lured her to leave her home outside of dallas. he allegedly drove her more than 1,000 miles to this shed where he lived in lexington, north carolina. the sheriff says he was contacted by an fbi special agent in texas about the case. sheriff's deputies went to the home where they staked out the property before pulling camacho over. investigators found the girl inside the shed just a few moments later. the mother of this young girl, who we are not identifying, is understandably so relieved to have her home. here is what she told our nbc team in that's. >> hugs. the night before she gave us a hug and a kiss and said good night. it is very terrifying. we know as parents and we know

as adults -- >> reporter: the suspect could face additional charges according to the sheriff. he is being held on bond totaling $1.25 million. he made his first appearance and is facing life in prison without parole. law enforcement officials say cases like this are becoming more frequent and add that parents should be doing more to monitor what their children are doing online to prevent horrific situations like this from happening. savannah? >> heartbreaking. valerie castro, thanks so much. an urgent effort right now under way in the san francisco bay area to reunite families with the remains of their loved ones, it comes after 154 remains and six bodies were discovered being stored in a warehouse. let's bring in nbc's julia jester for more. how did they find these bodies and remns in the first ple?

process. five of the bodies have been identified. the funeral director was unable to provide viable information about the sixth body so alameda county sheriff's office is working to could be firm a tentative i.d. officials are working to reunite families with the 150 or so cremated remains from 15 different california counties. here is what the county coroner's beau told our nbc station in san francisco about the process. >> that clearly didn't happen in a lot of these cases. they did business between 2013 and 2021. >> reporter: ocean view did not respond for request for comments.

right now the focus is providing all of the affected families some closure after a bizarre and truly unfortunate situation. >> horrific situation. people were intending to bury their loved ones and never got the remains. thank you for reporting on that. sng in california now, president biden is in monterey park this afternoon to sign an executive order on background checks for guns. the los angeles suburb was the site of a mass shooting. 11 people were killed and 9 others injured. in monterey park with the president, mike, tell us more about this executive order. >> reporter: the president seemed to have exhausted all options for what he could do on his own authority. the passage and president biden's safer communities act, the bipartisan bill gave the president new tools to build upon it and what is at the centerpiece of the executive order is an effort to bring as

close to universal as possible the background check system that we currently have. according to one gun safety group, the president by asking his attorney general to clarify what it means to be engaged in the business of selling firearms could go a long way to closing two of the biggest loopholes right now, that's the sale of guns at gun fairs and on the internet. heretill an opportunity for legislation? not one the republican-led house will pick up in the next year and a half. >> a rainy california, thanks very much, mike. the federal aviation administration is hosting a safety summit tomorrow, wednesday, to address a recent flurry of high-profile near ions at rare rt ahof tha lester holt s down with acting faa administrator billy nolan to discuss the chaos in the sky.
