12:01 pm
now. today, tuesday, april 25th. president biden making it official. reannouncing his election campaign via video. death of an icon, larry belafonte died at the age of 96. how he is being remembered. crisis in sudan. a u.s. brokered cease-fire appears to be on shaky ground as the world health organization issues an urgent warning after a deadly virus samples were seized in that war-torn country. allergy surge. sniffling, sneezing and wheezing. why a growing number of people are suffering from allergies for the first time ever. >> i certainly have been. >> you have? >> yes. decision 2024. >> race for the white house that's shaping up to be a rematch of four yeaears ago now that presisident bidenen has ma his re-elelection intntentions official..
12:02 pm
facing, , whether in the years aheaead we have e more frm or lesess freedom.m. more rights or fewer. i know what i want the answer to be and i think you do too. this is not a time to be complacent. that's why i'm running for re-election. >> president biden making the announcement as you heard there in a video released four years to the day since he announced his successful 2020 run. >> former president trump announced his 2024 campaign back in november and polls released as recently as sunday show that he is the front-runner to win the gop nomination. nbc news senior washington correspondent hallie jackson is here with more on this rematch as we just called it. so president biden's 2020 campaign video, a lot of different things in there. one thing, condemning the racism of a 2017 white supremacist rally in charlottesville, foreshadowing we think, these themes. based on the video and what we
12:03 pm
heard what will his case be to voters over the next 560 day, but who's counting? >> reporter: yeah, definitely me. hey, savannah, tom, what is his case going to be? he's not donald trump. right? that felt very evident from the video that the president rolled out as part of his official re-election launch today. taking on not just donald trump but him as the founding father of the so-called maga movement, right, railing against maga extremism as we have seen the president step up attacks on over the last six, seven, eight months, he started it, of course, back in his 2020 campaign and you can expect to see more of that as time goes on. i've also talked with democrats who say, listen, the president will try to make the positive case, right, and turn what could be -- what is, frankly, a liability and that is his age, that's not me saying that, that's polling, that shows that about half of americans would oppose president biden, it is a major reason because of how old he is. he would be 82 when inaugurated. the campaign may turn that into an asset or at least try to by saying, hey, he's got experience
12:04 pm
and a steady hand. watch for his campaign to point to things he accomplished when it comes to infrastructure, climate, naming the first black woman nominating her to the supreme court, for example, you saw pictures of justice ketanji brown jackson in that campaign rollout. >> you mentioned the age issue. there is another number challenging former president biden, that's his approval rating that stands at 41% according to our latest poll. how is the campaign planning to overcome that? are they so focused on former president trump? >> reporter: there's another number. you point out such a great thing, right, which is, yes, the favorability ratings are not where the biden campaign would want them to be, however, polling also shows the majority of democrats if president biden, of course, is the nominee which is the expectation, would probably vote for him anyway. right? they didn't necessary want to see him as the option but now that he is, they will get the vote so there is i think a sense that the enthusiasm gap will close especially as we get into next year and especially as democrats start to lean into issues like, for example, access
12:05 pm
to abortion. reproductive rights. this is something they have found animates the democratic base, that's something we saw in the midterms in 2020. it is a different landscape now than it was four years ago, because, of course, of the overturning of roe versus wade, so there are some very different political issues at play this year an four years ago. there's also a lot that has given us 2020 vibe, right? deja vu when it comes to donald trump and joe biden, here we are again talking about these two. >> hallie, we appreciate it. catch more of her coverage on "hallie jackson now," of course, tonight at 5:00 p.m. eastern on "nbc news daily." we're following breaking news, legendary singer, actor and activist harry ben ton tay passed away this morning at 96 from congestive heart failure at his home in new york. rehema ellis has more on his life and legacy. hey there. >> reporter: hey there. hollywood is celebrating and
12:06 pm
remembering the man, harry belafonte, and one thing the "l.a. times" wrote, belafonte was described in the "look" magazine in 1957 as the first black matinee idol in entertainment history. but here's the thing about belafofonte, he didn't just hugs hiss celebrity to entertain but to change minds. ♪ day-o ♪ >> reporter: his voice made harry belafonte famous, but growing up in harlem and jamaica, his mother taught him to use it to do more than entertain. >> she would say to me, never go to bed at night knowing that you have spent a day in which you have done nothing to try to change injustice. > reporter:r: and belafafont started fighting early, joining the navy at 17 to serve in the pacific during world war ii. after the war he sang in clubs

12:09 pm
station wnbc this morning and she said that he was a wonderful man and had a beautiful journey and did a lot of good for a lot of people. he is in a very peaceful place, she said. she'll remember everything about him especially the time they spent together. savannah and tom. >> what a voice, what a talent and, rehema, thank you so much for that look back. we're following other developing news, parts of the midwest are bracing for the possibility of record flooding from the mississippi river this week. according to the national weather service some areas could see the highest river flooding levels in 20 years and the threat is expected to increase as the week goes on. nbc news correspondent maggie vespa is in davenport, iowa, that's about 170 miles east of des moines. maggie, what are you seeing in terms of floodwaters where you are, what preparations are under way? >> reporter: yeah, tom, you can see for yourself. this flooded street is really a couple of blocks from the river then behind the street, again, that's flooding. you can see people feverishly filling sandbags to stack along
12:10 pm
the river. we also spoke to davenport's mayor a couple of hours ago in front of this massive kind of sand wall. it's like cubes reinforced with steel kind of caging filled with sand. it's like eight feet tall. he says they only break that out when they know extreme floods are coming to this river community that arguably is used to flooding to some degree every year but said this one, they are taking very seriously. take a listen. >> the last two years we have not done this. we haven't had a flood, in fact, last year the river was arguably the lowest it's ever been so in 2019 record flood, last year the lowest it's ever been and here we are with the river trying to think about doing that record again. >> reporter: we have a train coming through so you'll hear that. tom, another unique thing we've been talking about, this is not about a fast-moving system dumping a ton of rain but snowpack in north dakota and northern minnesota up to a foot and a half melting rapidly feeding the mississippi and that water is flowing south flooding a lot of communities.
12:11 pm
tom. >> maggie, yeah, we see that water getting higher and higher. do we know where the worst of the flooding is expected and how long this threat will last? >> reporter: i mean, the short answer is scientists say they don't know which will be the hardest hit communities but we'll know soon. they say parts of minnesota are expected to crest later this week. parts of illinois and iowa, though, again, a little further south again. this water is starting up in the northern part of mississippi at the head waters and flowing south. this area, parts of illinois, iowa, not expected to crest until early next week and that's kind of the eeriest thing. all these communities along north america's longest river. tom. >> okay, maggie, we appreciate it. let's turn to cnbc news. american company 3m is cutting thousands of jobs and amazon delivery drivers this california are unionizing. >> morgan brennan joins us with today's cnbc's "money minute." hey, morgan. >> reporter: well, industrial company 3m announcing more job
12:12 pm
cuts as it works to shift its manufacturing focus. the minnesota based company announced it would cut about 6,000 positions globally in efforts to focus on high growth markets such as automotive electrification and home improvement. amazon delivery drivers in southern california have decided to join the teamsters union. a group of 84 workers reached a contract with the teamsters which was recognized by the amazon contractor they worked for. why this matters? this allows the workers and teamsters to sidestep the union election process which can be challenging and last for months. nike founder phil knight is donating $400 million to help a primarily black neighborhood in portland, oregon. the funds will be overseen by local leaders in the community and it will be used to bring more opportunity to the area by expanding education and the arts and, of course, portland is not only knight's hometown but also nike's. guys. >> 400 million. that's a massive amount. okay, morgan, thanks for all

12:16 pm
reporting that according to people familiar with the matter, news corporation chairman rupert murdoch made the final decision to cut carlson from the fox news lineup. now, nbc news has not confirmed the times reporting and should also add neither fox news nor tucker carlson has confirmed the reasoning behind his departure. i want to bring in legal correspondent cynthia mcfadden who had the first television interview we should say with carlson's former chief booking producer suing him. cynthia, the "l.a. times" says this lawsuit is what led essentially to the firing. what do we know? >> there's little doubt that it's at least part of the decision. what i have here are some of the legal papers in the case. essentially what abby grossberg maintains, the environment at fox news in particular at tucker carlson's show was poisonous, it was entrenched, it was patriarchal. they made fun of women on a
12:17 pm
daily basis. take a listen. >> women were objectified. it was a game. it was a sport. it was like being in a locker room. female politicians who came on the show were mocked. there were debates about who between, for example, tudor dixon and gretchen whitmer they'd rather sleep with and i'm not going to use the actual terms. "c" word all the time. it was rampant. being in this work environment as a woman is hard. being at fox as a woman it's even harder. they don't respect, i would say, their employees to begin with, but their female employees especially are not on the same footing as men. >> i mean -- >> explosive. >> she's got about 90 tapes she's recorded over time while working there which she and her attorneys say really put -- >> 90. >> 90, 9-0.
12:18 pm
it records -- you can record a conversation and she can transcribe it recording conversations because they would use them on the broadcast both with republicans on the show and as well as some of other colleagues. >> has tucker carlson or fox replied to any of these? >> in terms of the lawsuit fox says they are going to vigorously defend, that they say this is not true, this is lies, that she was a disgruntled employee. so, that's where we are on that. >> how much of the environment that she just described there as well as some of just what we've heard about the show and other purchases that were there does she pin on tucker carlson himself? >> well, she actually she stalks about tucker carlson's role in the newsroom and i want to hear what she said. >> tucker isolates himself. he's in maine for part of the year and in florida for part of the year and has his male executives do his dirty work. that's how i would put it. he's not around a lot but they speak for him.
12:19 pm
>> so, you know, it's interesting. you know, i brought my homework here because i wanted to read you something. in june of 2021 fox news was investigated by the new york city human rights commission. the largest fine anybody has ever been assessed, $1 million fox paid. they paid that and they were going to be scrutinized for the next several years and the interesting thing is any further violation, they say, can accumulate another charge. now, of course, fox can afford to pay many millions of dollars, but they surely do not want the government in their newsroom and this is hundreds of millions of dollars have been paid by fox news for these kind of allegations over the past several years, so her credibility in this is pretty high. >> cynthia, an incredible interview and also for that fox news producer to share that is incredible. cynthia, we appreciate all that. >> your interview is fantastic. hundreds of entertainers from across florida are protesting at the state capitol
12:20 pm
today against recent legislation that organizers say is attacking the lgbt community and specifically drag performances. >> what we're here to do is to directly be visible. to show florida that we are drag queens, that we're organized, that we're mobilized and no matter what comes out of tallahassee, legislatively and the law, drag will continue. >> drag queens and supporters are rallying against the bill by republican lawmakers that would ban live adult performances if minors are in the audience. ron desantis is expected to sign that bill into law. okay, coming up the urgent new health warning from the world health organization after world health organization after deadly virus samples wereeized s (psst psst) ahhhh... with flonase, allergies don't have to be scary spraying flonase daily gives you long-lasting, non-drowsy relief.

foreigners get out of sudan. two warring factions are attempting to hold a 72-hour cease-fire. that was brokered by the u.s. but appears to be on shaky ground. both sides are blaming each other for breaking the truce. warplanes and explosions could be heard in the capital of khartoum overnight. approximately 16,000 american citizens live in the sudan. the state department is working to get as many out as possible. meagan fitzgerald is following the story from london. hey, megan. tell us the latest on the cease-fire. >> reporter: as you mentioned we are looking at yet another cease-fire agreement that's been broken. we have seen many attempts over the last several days that the fighting has been raging on and it tinges. we know that earlier today, doctors, sudanese doctors are putting out this urgent call because a medical facility was hit. they are calling for surgeons and for anesthesiologists to help.
12:33 pm
they're quickly trying to transport these injured people to another facility but keep in mind the majority of the hospitals inside the capital city of khartoum are inoperable. they are looking at a lack of electricity, water is running low. people are running out of food. this is just a dire situation that just continues to spiral. and, of course, we are seeing nations from across the world rushing in trying urgently to evacuate their people as quickly as possible. the united states saying that they will not be putting boots on the ground in sudan. but that they are working with allies to try to get some of those 16,000 americans who want to leave out of the country because this violence certainly isn't showing any signs of stopping. >> i want to ask about the world health organization saying one of its labs have been seized in khartoum. what do we know about what was in the facility and what their concerns are if that is, in fact, the case. >> reporter: yeah, you're right.
12:34 pm
so the w.h.o. isn't saying whether or not it was a sudanese armed forces or the paramilitary that seized the facility but it's a laboratory, so there's things inside like measles, other pathogens and has orderous material and know the technicians were kicked out. it is a big concern because you have people dealing with this, these substances that don't know what they're doing. and it certainly has the potential for a disaster to take place there. >> meagan fitzgerald, thanks so much. the man accused of killing bob lee will return to court next month. nima momeni made a brief appearance and facing more than 20 years in prison if convicted. nbc news correspondent niala charles joins us from los angeles. momeni was supposed to be arraigned but that was delayed. can you explain why. >> reporter: nima momeni's defense attorney says it was pushed because she hasn't skeeved all the discovery here, tom, essentially that means the
12:35 pm
investigation documents and for that she's actually blaming the san francisco police department. take a listen. >> to do my job effectively, i need the police reports. that's why i said that sort of thing. it's not rocket science if the police are going to make an arrest, they are duty bound to make these materials available to defense counsel. it's not the appropriate discovery. i mean, there's a bunch of videos and stuff, but that's not what the appropriate discovery is. >> reporter: now the arraignment is set for next week. there the defense attorney says momeni will enter a not guilty plea here, tom, and also she says she will be requesting that he be released on bond. meanwhile, prosecutors will argue that there shouldn't be a bond. in the meantime, momeni is in jail and been in jail since his arrest. both families of lee and momeni were present. tom. >> and the suspect's sister is central to the case.

walk us through her involvement and have we heard anything from her so far? >> reporter: right, so the district attorney says one of the key points in this case will be the nature of the relationship between the defendant's younger sister, hoe is married to a prominent plastic surgeon in the area and also bob lee. court documents say the night of bob lee's murder on april 4th, nima momeni actually confronted him about his sister before driving him to a secluded area in downtown san francisco where prosecutors say he stabbed bob lee three times with a kitchen knife. tom. >> okay, a lot going on there, niala, we appreciate that. we're also closely watching a story unfolding in an alabama courtroom. five of the six suspects in the deadly sweet 16 party shooting facing a judge for a critical hearing. let's get right to guad venegas. what's come out so far?
12:37 pm
>> reporter: savannah, we finally learned more details of what happened that evening, so so far six suspects have been arrested. now, of those six three are adults. those three adults had a bond hearing. no cameras were allowed. but members of the media were allowed to be present. now, during this hearing, we finally heard these details. we know seven guns were used all handguns this that shooting. four different calibers, two of those guns had what's called a switch that makes them semiautomatic. 89 shell casings were recovered and so far authorities have been able to recover one gun. now, here's something very interesting. of the victims that died, one of them was found with a gun on his chest. the testimony today indicated that it was placed in a very strange way, another one of the victims that died, marsiah collins, also had a gun in his possession. now, that gun was not fired. those are just some of the details that we learned. now, authorities did not share
12:38 pm
anything regarding a possible motive of what would have been the reason for the shooting. they did say that the people, the people that died in the shooting were all near the entrance and that all of those that were involved in the shooting were at the party before the shooting began. just some of the details that we've learned today. now, three of the six suspects were in this bond hearing. the judge has 24 to 48 hours to make a decision and then the other three, we know that one is 15. that juvenile has not been identified and the other two were expected to have a close hearing later today. savannah. >> guad, what do we expect to come out next for these suspects? that hearing later today as well as the ones we've seen, what is next? >> reporter: so in the state of alabama, a judge can make the decision when it comes to a bond, right? so we were told that a district attorney that the judge will have 24 to 48 hours to make a decision, both in the hearing for the adults and this this closed hearing that will take place today for the two brothers, this is the 16 and
12:39 pm
17-year-old. these were the first two suspects that were arrested. the mccullough brothers and we have this additional suspect, the 15-year-old, we don't know what process the 15-year-old will go through but it will be separate from the other suspects. >> guad, thank you so much. also today a jury has now been seated in the civil trial involving writer e. jean carroll an former president trump. he alleged trump -- she alleged trump raped her and he called it a complete sue which led carroll to sue for defamation. ron, what's happening inside the courtroom right now? >> reporter: carroll's lawyers are laying out the case, opening statements are under way. a jury has been seated. six men and three women, a total of nine. he began by saying he wanted to take the jury back to the spring of 1996 when he says that carroll met donald trump at bergdorf goodman's, high-priced
12:40 pm
department store in new york city. he says that she knew him, that they knew each other, that they met at a party and that as -- that donald trump asked her to help him pick out a gift for a woman. they somehow go through the store laughing and joking and made their way to the lingerie department where carroll alleges that this attack happened when trump asked her to try on an item and then barged into the dressing room with her and attacked her allegedly there. trump, of course, has denied these allegations. the attorney that goes on to say she kept this a secret, that she feared that if she went public back in the 1990s that donald trump would destroy her life. they say that she confided in two friends, what we expect to hear from as the trial unfolds. we also expect to hear from e. jean carroll herself telling her story. we move forward to 2017 when
12:41 pm
carroll decides that she wants to make -- wants to make whatever happened public and begins writing a book. she's an author, columnist and begins writing a book and goes public. that's when she says donald trump began attacking her verbally, remember, he's now president of the united states and her attorneys say the man with the biggest microphone in the world was calling her a liar. this destroyed her life, changed her life forever, they say and that's where the defamation part comes in. remember, it's a suit about alleging sexual assault and also defamation, a civil case the federal court where carroll is seeking unspecified damages probably totaling in the tens of millions of dollars. >> ron allen for us, we appreciate it. don't miss "nightly news" tonight, lester holt sat down with the president of south korea for an exclusive. wide-ranging interview during the conversation lester asked about recent reporting that u.s. intelligence spied on south korean officials. take a listen. >> do friends spy on friends?
12:42 pm
[ speaking non-english ] >> translator: generally speaking i don't think so. in the real world it is something prohibited in state of affairs. the most important thing is the trust. when you have that trust you don't get shaken. although the military and security aspect of the south korea/u.s. alliance is important, i believe that information alliance is much more important. south korea and the u.s. have been cooperating in analyzing and interpreting the meaning. the wide range of information that each of us possesses. >> there will be much more from that conversation tonight again on "nbc nightly news" with lester holt. coming up why doctors say more people are suffering from allergies for the first time ever this year. we'll explain. first before we head to break a look at daily's snapshot remembering the life and legacy of harry belafonte, a star who left his mark on music, film and television. he died today at 96. this photo showing him performing at a musical special called "tonight with belafonte" in 1959.

into all right with today's daily health. we know what allergy symptoms feel like, the sniffles, dry and red eyes and constant sneezing. well now new findings from
12:46 pm
allergists think more adults are experiencing them for the very first time. erica edwards joins us live. what do allergists think might be behind the increase this year? >> yeah, so the biggest driver, experts say, is climate change. as the earth's temperature warming up, the ground starts thawing earlier and earlier in the season prompting trees to start flowering, producing that pollen earlier than ever. so not only is the allergy season lasting longer, there's a lot more pollen in the air thanks to rising carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere. co2 levels rise and that prompts trees to make more and more pollen leaving more and more of us sniffling and scratching and sneezing, tom. >> any good advice for people out there? any sort of other measures, maybe organic measures so people don't constantly have to keep taking all that medication? >> sure. i mean, many people use nasal rinses like neti pots in in
12:47 pm
addition to medication to get the pollen out of their nose. also, you know, wash your clothes and take a shower as soon as you get inside after spending any significant amount of time outside. if you do have to do outdoor activities try to do them in the morning before the pollen gets higher during the day, tom. >> what's the general rule of thumb when it comes allergies? do they get worse over time? i know just anecdotally speaking i had them as kid but i no longer have them but it's different for every person. >> this is a flip-flop. normally we tend to grow out of our allergies and a lot of types that reels to food allergies, this is a different beast. a lot of these adults that doctors have been telling me that they've been seeing probably had mild allergies earlier on, now that pollen has gotten so severe they're noticing symptoms prompting visits to the doctor's office. tom. >> all right, erika edwards, thanks so much. when it comes to life expectancy, the gender gap is getting widerment on average, women are living almost six
12:48 pm
years longer than men. well now public health departments across the u.s. are trying to tackle the issue by helping men get the preventive care they need. here's nbc news medical contributor dr. akshay syal.re >> that's another manly way to reduce stress. >> reporter: this is man therapy. >> first, mash up, five or six of these green things. >> reporter: a service created by the colorado department of public health, to help prevent suicide in men. >> there's still a lot of stigma and barriers out there that prevent men from wanting to talk about how they're feeling and leaves a lot of them struggling in violence. >> reporter: dr. jody fry, a professor at the university of maryland, is working with man therapy to get the life-saving message out there. >> why are they afraid to seek help? >> a lot of men feel embarrassed. the term pull yourself up by your boot straps is alive and well out there. men often feel like seeking help
12:49 pm
is a sign of weakness. >> i'm dr. rich mahogany. visit me at mantherapy.org. >> reporter: the creators say 3 million people have viewed the character dr. richard ma hog by on the website. >> you can't fix your mental health with duct tape. giving men the tools to help themselves, to let them know that help is available is very comforting. >> reporter: men are four times more likely to die by suicide than women, but a recent study funded by the cdc found that man therapy was able to decrease depression and suicidal thoughts in men. >> manly ways. >> reporter: but it's not just suicide. in 2021 the difference in life expectancy between men and women reached 5.9 years, the largest gap since 1996. this is because men are also more likely to die from covid-19, , diabetes, , and can than w women. someme of this c could be a a r of biology, but there's also some cultural bias. >> men are not seeking health care in a preventative way. >> reporter: this man is a cardiologist and proponent of men's health.
12:50 pm
>> men are seeking health care when they're coming into the emergency room or calling 911 and coming in for complications from disease. >> reporter: his approach is simple, we need to rethink how we engage men in health care. >> they're not looking to a doctor for health information. they might be looking to a podcast or a website, they might be looking to their church or their social group, and so we have to make sure that we engage with all of those partners. >> reporter: whether looking at medicine in a new way or visiting dr. mahogany at man therapy, it's time for men to take their health seriously. dr. akshay syal, nbc news. >> take it seriously. >> i meditate. things like that to get the stress level down. i'll hit a serious medication level after this show. level after this show. i needomee time s. ♪♪ the thohought of getttting screenened ♪ ♪ f for colon c cancer made m me queasy. . ♪ ♪♪ but nowow i'veve found a y that's right fofor me. ♪♪ ♪ f feels more e easy. ♪♪ ♪ m my doc and d i agreed. ♪ ♪♪ i pick ththe time. ♪♪ ♪ tododay's s a good dayay.♪ ♪♪ i pick ththe time. ♪♪ ♪♪ i screenened with colologud and didid it my waway! ♪ ♪♪ i pick ththe time. ♪♪
