hi, everyone. i'm kate snow. >> and i'm zinhle essamuah. "nbc news daily" starts right now.

>> today, tuesday, may 9th, 2023, and money talks. president biden set to meet with congressional leaders as the debt limit is coming. off the rails. protesters left bloodied after clashing with police over demonstrations over the chokehold death of jordan neely. president biden weighs in for the first time. back to court, tiger woods is facing more legal trouble with her ex-girlfriend. why she's accusing him of sexual harassment. a new recommendation says women should get yearly screenings for breast cancer, a full decade earlier. we begin in washington where america's top lawmakers are trying to keep the government from running out of cash. high-stakes meetings set to get under way shortly to raise the debt ceiling.

>> here is the date everyone is watching right now, thursday, june 1st. the day the treasury secretary says america could default on its debt. the impact of that would be catastrophic for our economy. while that is still a few weeks away a lot needs to happen and soon to get a deal. and in a divided congress a compromise in time is far from guaranteed. >> nbc news senior white house correspondent kelly o'donnell is following the latest. what can we expect from today's high-profile meeting and can you break down what kind of leverage these leaders might be coming to the negotiation with? >> reporter: the stakes are extraordinarily high and for president biden, bringing the lawmakers here is for him to deliver a message that he believes congress must act to prevent default. something that the white house characterizes as a manufactured crisis from capitol hill and the desire among specifically house republicans to try to extract cuts in spending even though this is about spending that is already occurred and merely at

the face of paying the bills. the expectations are not particularly high for what will come out of this. so don't expect necessarily a big breakthrough. but the meeting is considered significant. earlier today our colleague garrett haake was on capitol hill where he got to speak to speaker mccarthy who republicans will focus as their point man on what this conversation will be about today. here's speaker mccarthy. >> i hope it's different than it's been for the last 97 days. february 1st i went to the see the president, sat down with him, saying we should work on the debt ceiling. so we wouldn't get to this day. unfortunately, it's taken 97 days to finally come back. after that meeting he tweeted that he would meet with us and see about the budget, but he just kept changing things so hopefully the attitude has changed. >> the president is saying it must be a clean elevation of the debt ceiling, not bringing negotiations into that and that

budget discussions can happen separately. >> kelly, if an agreement is not reached how will this impact our day-to-day life outside washington? >> reporter: the treasury secretary and her team are estimating this. it could be extended into the summer. not a hard and fast date but default on the u.s., good credit, would likely trigger recession, would mean job losses, would impact stock markets, that can affect people's retirement savings, it is a parade of horribles if this is not resolved and that's what makes the stakes so high. >> all right, kelly o'donnell at the white house, thanks. and we've got breaking news out of new york city, a verdict is in for the civil rape and defamation trial against former president donald trump. we expect it to be ready any moment and once that happens we'll bring you an nbc news special report. trump is being sued by columnist

e. jean carroll who alleges she was raped by him in the 1990s. trump denied any wrongdoing. with us now to talk about this is nbc news senior legal correspondent laura jarrett. laura, so what did the jury need to decide here? >> reporter: this is coming in in any minute. we await to see that and the jury is faced what two different claim, one for battery, for the alleged assault that she says happened more than 20 years ago in a department store bergdorf goodman and one for defamation, the claim there mr. trump defamed her, disparaged her character by saying she lied and made up this entire story in order to sell her book when she first came forward with the claim back in 2019. now, obviously we're going to wait to see what they did here, guy, but i should note this verdict is coming in super fast. they've only been deliberating since 11:50 this morning. that's fewer than three hours of

deliberation, again, not saying exactly how that will weigh in the calculations here but not only did the jury have to decide whether mr. trump was liable, they also have to decide if he's liable, how much money carroll should be owed. >> laura, notably trump did not testify in person but has been commenting on his social media platforms. how could that play into any appeal we see from this decision? >> reporter: his absence loomed large in the entire trial, something that carroll's attorney hammered him on yesterday saying he didn't even bother to show up in person but the jury did see his deposition testimony. several different portions were played at trial. he has said that he was essentially silenced even though he was given several opportunities including his latest this sunday, the judge gave him a last-ditch opportunity to testify which he did not take and has no obligation to take the stand in his own defense. but it will be interesting to see how the jury treats that, if at all. >> laura, you pointed out how the jury did not deliberate for

long. what do you make of that? what do you suspect here. >> reporter: i've always been wary of reading tea leaves. they have quite a bit to work through, several pages of a form that they have to fill out. going through each of her specific claim, making sure that she's reached her burden of proof because it's a civil trial, not a criminal trial, all she has to do it's more likely than not that he assaulted her in that dressing room and that if they believe that happened he then defamed her by saying that she made the story up by calling it a hoax, that he hurt her brand, that he hurt her character, that he hurt her reputation. and on any number of these different score, guys, they can come up with any range of numbers. they can give her as much as $1 or millions. we just don't know yet. >> i was just going to ask. as you say this is not criminal. this dis not mean the former president would go to jail if they find had her favor but could face financial penalty. there could be damages and i

think during the trial ron allen was saying one expert testified and said she might need 2.7, i think it was, million dollars. are we talking potentially about millions of dollars in damages. >> reporter: potentially if they find she reached her burden. again, there's the issue of compensatory damages which is essentially just to compensate her, self-explanatory, compensate her for what she says has been her loss, her pain and suffering from having gone through this. but there's also the issue of punitive damages which is what happens when a jury thinks someone should be punished for conduct which the judge called highly immoral. but, again, the jury doesn't have to give punitives but can come up with any number they want. she did not ask for a specific dollar amount letting the jury decide. you can imagine his defense team would have used that. >> laura, thank you so much. i want you to stay with us and we'll bring in defense attorney danny cevallos. thanks for joining us.

what do you make of this? the jury did not seem to deliberate for long. what are you thinking? >> reporter: in a criminal case, there's an old adage that a jury that's not out for long, usually isn't good for the defense but here it really could go either way. but if forced to bet, if you make me pick a side i'm guessing this is going to be a plaintiff's verdict. i think that they probably went through this relatively quickly. the issues ultimately were straightforward even though the jury verdict form in a civil case is always more complicated than in a criminal case. in a criminal case the jury isn't deciding punishment. just deciding essentially liability. did the criminal commit this crime or did the defendant not commit a crime? is he not guilty or guilty? in a civil case they have a lot more heavy lifting to do. sometimes they have to figure out things like contributory negligence. that's not the case here. but in addition to determining liable, they also have to come up with a dollar amount and keep in mind, laura jarrett just told

you the plaintiffs didn't ask for a specific dollar amount. this isn't a traditional personal injury case where you put up medical records and say this much treatment will be required for the rest of this person's life because they're a quadriplegic, no, these are amorphous type damages, that's why the plaintiff didn't give them a dollar number. they want the jury's imagination to run wild and come up with a number. if they pigeonholed themselves with a specific number they might be stuck with that. instead they're taking the chance the jury is on their side, they don't give them a number. they hope the jury was aggravated by trump's appearance or nonappearance and they give a large award. >> danny, i was going to ask you to take us back a step for those who haven't been tracking this trial day in and day out, what were the highlights? it seems one highlight is the former president did not come in, did not testify in his own defense. walk us through what got us here.

>> he did not choose to testify. it's a civil case and not required to but equally as damning was his deposition testimony played in snippets where where he committed a number of unforced errors. >> announcer: this is an nbc news special report. here's lester holt. >> we're coming on the air. there is a verdict in the civil trial against donald trump. it was filed by writer e. jean carroll. she accused the former president of raping her in a department store dressing room back in the '90s. i've got the verdict sheet just in front of me right now. i'll walk you through. there were ultimately ten questions resting on the question of whether she had been raped by mr. trump, also questions of whether he had defamed her. on the battery charge and that gets to again the accusation of rape, question one, did mr. trump rape miss caroll, the

jury voted no. did he sexually abuse her, yes, the jury said. miss carroll was injured as a result of mr. trump's conduct, the jury said yes, and if yes inserting an amount of $2 million, a monetary judgment against the former president. keep in mind, e. jean carroll's attorneys did not ask for a specific amount of money but left it to the jury. moving on to the question, mr. trump's conduct was willfully or wantonly negligent, reckless or done with a conscious disregard of the rights, yes, the jury said. and moving down to the defamation question, there were ultimately five questions related to that accusation, did miss carroll prove by preponderance of the evidence that his statements were defamatory? yes, it was. did miss carroll prove by clear

and convincing evidence mr. trump's statement was false? the jury said yes. mr. trump made the statements with actual malice, the jury, yes. and then we're still waiting on some of the other questions, but, again, the big headline there, the jury finding that mr. trump did sexually abuse miscarroll. let's go to -- sorry, lawyer jarrett right now, our legal analyst standing by. laura, what do you make, first of all, this jury came back in under four hours? i think nearly three hours and what we've heard right now in terms of a verdict? >> so fast, clearly a resounding victory for e. jean carroll who accused the former president of sexually assaults her in that dressing room some 20 years ago. the amount here, lester, is stag tering. in some ways given that the jury was not offered a specific amount to award. all of these numbers that you were just reading out for our audience are numbers that the

jury, these nine jurors have come up with themselves. they had made a specific strategic move not to ask for a specific dollar amount and the jury has come up with these numbers in the millions now including punitive damages, which really speaks to how these jurors viewed the evidence, and just to remind everybody, this was a nine-day trial relatively short given the stakes against the former president, he denied all the allegations vehemently and said he didn't even know who she was but she testified over the course of two days the jurors also heard from two other women who had accused the former president claims he also denied but it was used as evidence to show his playbook when it comes to women. the jury also heard from two friends who carroll said she told at the time, contemporaneously about the assault and may have bolstered the claims even they were so long ago, perhaps the jury found her more credible given the two other who testified and the

former president never showed up tweeting about his travels overseas to scotland but he never showed up and that is secret that was hammered in closing arguments about by carroll's attorney. >> whether he sexually abused her, yes, raped her, no. >> the issue is one of force. the law breaks down the claim of battery which was her core claim of what happened in the dressing room and the judge walked them through the legal standards and basically allowed them some wiggle room if they didn't find forcible rape they could use two alternative, one being forcible touching or being sexual abuse and sexual abuse is what they found that he actually did do, which includes everything from a pinch to rubbing, touching, anything like that can constitute sexual abuse and that's what the judge instructed the jury. >> i'll ask you to stand by and

bring in legal analyst danny cevallos. danny, explain what this verdict means and the split nature of it on these questions. >> the plaintiff here had really two claims, one was for defamation and the other was for the actual sexual assault. and the reason that happened was that originally the statute of limitations had long expired so the plaintiff here filed a claim for defamation, essentially saying that when trump call her a liar he defamed her. when new york passed a statutory one-year window for all previously expired claims of sexual abuse civil claims to be refiled, within half an hour of that statute going into effect carroll's legal team filed this civil rape case against donald trump and, of course, while the jury did not find that trump raped e. jean carroll they did find he sexually abused her subjecting her to the sexual contact without her consent.

so i mean this is a very clear message that -- i have to say, i have some of these cases under these one-year window and the challenges is always finding evidence from something that happened decades ago and what carroll's verdict tells us is that these cases can be prosecuted, notwithstanding the difficulty in tracking down evidence for an alleged assault that happened in an era that was preinternet, preemail, pretext messaging and prethe proliferation of video cameras everywhere we go. >> many would argue that that "access hollywood," the deposition tape did serve as sort of a testimony, as sort of a piece of evidence. we may know later on but right now looking at it, how important impactful was that potentially to the case? >> i'll go a step further. without those pieces of evidence, this was an even/odd situation and could have gone either way. but the "access hollywood" tape and not just the tape but trump

in his deposition apparently by my knowledge for the first time doubling down on the "access hollywood" tape. he called that locker room talk but in this deposition he appears to support -- to double down, to basically stand by his position earlier saying something really frankly bizarre that, look, celebrities have been able to do this for a million years and fortunately or unfortunately that is just the way it is and laura jarrett correctly pointed out in what world is that ever fortunate? these were unforced errors. he didn't have to say the plaintiff wasn't his type. look to nurt than the plaintiff's closing argument. they used all of that evidence and it was compelling and i would argue that without that evidence, without trump shooting himself in the proverbial foot, this would have been a much closer call. i think what trump did in his

deposition did not but inflame this jury and give them a really good reason to vote in favor of the plaintiff in this case. >> all right, danny, i'll ask you to hang in there while i turn to garrett haake. he's been covering the former president, garrett. what are you hearing from his inner circle? >> reporter: well, lester, no reaction to the verdict itself today but i can tell you the trump operation has been talking about this case, they've been strategizing for this moment, the former president himself even posted on his social media platform this morning calling this the false accusation case and in that truth social post he conflates it with one of the other cases in new york where his ability to talk about some of the evidence is circumscribed a little bit. i'm not sure that's an accident confusing the cases and i say that because his campaign's attitude toward these cases have been to lump them all together and describe all of the various investigations against him via the new york city case, on falsifying business records we spent much of last month talking

about, this case here or the case in georgia or the two cases going on in the federal court system in d.c. they've lumped all these together as what they describe as a political witch-hunt, an effort to get trump to interfere with the election and to somehow keep him off the ballot by bogging him down in legal challenges. there is no democratic prosecutor. there is no democratic appointed special counsel conducting this investigation. this was purely an investigation of donald trump. and the use of that 2016 "access hollywood" tape could ultimately be very important in the political ramifications of this, remember back in 2016, in the fall when that tape came out, just how damaging it was. here you have a jury finding donald trump liable of exactly the same kind of conduct he is on --

the deposition recordings, also the "access hollywood" case that painted him in a negative light, let me play one of them and get your thoughts on how critical it might have been. where this he mixes up a photo of e. jean carroll. >> i don't even know who the woman -- let's see. i don't know who -- it's marla. >> you're saying marla is in the photo. >> that's marla. that's my wife. >> the woman you're pointing to? >> here. oh. >> the person you just pointed to was e. jean carroll.

>> who was that? >> the woman on the right is your then wife -- >> this was the picture. i assume that's john johnson is that carroll? it's very blurry. >> and this was used by the plaintiff to point out that this idea that she wasn't his type, in fact, she was his type because he mistook her for his own wife. how critical in a case that stretched on for so many years to affirm the idea that this did happen? >> it is extremely critical, because as you pointed out, lester, it emphasizes she was exactly trump's type and that was utilized by miscarroll's attorney in her closing argument but she was also able to show and i think this is important because that goes alongside the remainder of the deposition that also show the hollywood -- the "access hollywood" tape which because that's important because rape and sexual abuse is not about sexual gratification but rather about power and control. she was able to say, look, miss

carroll was trump's type but this wasn't about what he liked or what he was attracted to, this was about power, access and control and she was able to utilize the "access hollywood" tape notwithstanding the combative demeanor showed during the deposition to show his m.o., which is to take what he wasn't given concept to have. >> kristen, thank you very much. let me turn to carol lam. carol, what's the likelihood of an appeal? if you were on either side where would you see room for an appeal? >> i think there is going to be an appeal because donald trump likes to play out the legal system as far as he can take it. and he will appeal this but this is the thing, the jury -- the jury split this verdict, right, they didn't find a rape which is not a huge surprise because there's no forensic evidence. this case is well over 20 years old and the allegations are over 20 years old but for an appeals court to look at this, they're

probably going to look at it with a bit of deference towards the jury and say this jury even though it was a quick verdict, they were surgical in their approach and didn't find him liable on all counts, they rejected the rape count and that may have been a compromise among the jurors. there may have been some who thought that the rape count should stand but, look, the -- even the witnesses who said who were introduced for the purpose of showing he has this m.o. of assaulting women sexually, they were not raped so the jurors might have said we'll go with sexual assault but we won't go with the rape, so i think an appeals court is barring some sort of outrageous conduct which we have not seen evidence of in this court, the appeals court is unlikely to reverse the judgment. >> and as we know this was a civil case. the bar was lower for -- to find him liable of this.

yet, there will be folks who will look at this and wonder will there be any form of criminal accountability for these actions? >> that's unlikely because of the age -- because of the age of these events, but let's put this into perspective. this is a former president of the united states being held accountable for some pretty horrendous conduct that took place a long time ago. >> laura, let me bring you back into the conversation. you've had time to go over the questions, ten questions in all on the issue of battery which would be the sexual assault allegation and the defamation. what stands out to you as you go through this? >> lester, again, the fact they awarded punitive damages is noteworthy because as it sort of is self-explanatory it's meant for conduct that is seen as extremely reckless and seen as highly immoral as described by the judge today and clearly

something that this jury used to send a message and it's interesting, you know, this jury was kept anonymous and so we don't know all that much about them but you can imagine in the coming days, there's going to be a lot of desire to try to get in their heads to try to get inside that jury room to understand their deliberations more and what was --

welcome back to "nbc news daily." >> we're learning new heartbreaking information about the victims of the massacre at a

mall in allen, texas, over the weekend. >> 3-year-old james cho and his family cindy and kyo were killed and their 6-year-old son survived. authorities are pouring over the gunman's social media posts in an effort to determine his motive. steven romo is in allen, texas, for us. steven, first off, how is the community doing and what's being done to honor the victims? i know this is your hometown. >> reporter: the press conference just wrapped up and we got a response from dps. they're telling us more of the time line here that the shooting only lasted about three to four minutes before that officer here was able to take him out calling the law enforcement response here stellar. he was able to kill all the victims there that you see on your screen in three to four minutes.

hearing from texas dps the gunman had eight firearm, two on his person and five located in a car and also a key point here saying that all of those firearms were legally obtained. and when asked how they can protect the public when firearms like this are so easily obtained by someone so clearly troubled, dps said if the shooter had not done it with legally obtained firearms he would have done it with illegal firearms or perhaps even a car. we also learned that this shooter did work a security job and had a license to work security. that license had expired. they were unable to say exactly where he worked those security jobs, whether or not it had been at the outlets. that is not yet clear. learned a great deal more information, also the victims are being assisted by the state of texas to try to help them get back on their feet and the final question of whether this is considered domestic terrorism,

right now texas dps says they are not able to tell. they're continuing to go through the shooter's online presence to see, but they found no other, no paper manifesto in this, guy. >> steven with those late breaking details from the press conference that just happened, thank you. appreciate it. the white house is weighing in now on the death of jordan neely calling it tragic and deeply disturbing. they come ahead of president biden's visit to new york city tomorrow and they are the first such remarks fm the white house on thisncident since jordan neely, the subway rider was put in a deadly chokehold last week. a spokesperson said the white house firmly believes the events surrounding his death demand a though re investigation. >> meanwhile in new york city community members are calling for accountability and justice. nearly a dozen protesters were arrested last night in what escalated to a bloody confrontation with police so let's bring in nbc news correspondent rehema ellis for more. what exactly happened last night? i know protesters were injured to the point that some were

actually bloodied. >> reporter: that's what we understand and started out peaceful, if you will, a vigil and candles placed at the entrance to the subway where this young man was killed and authorities, police asked them to move away from the entrance. some didn't agree with that. a scuffle ensued between the police and some protesters. as you pointed out some people ended up being bloodied. about 11 people arrested. there was talk of even a molotov cocktail found near the area which caused politician a lot of concern as they say people have the right to protest but they want to make certain no one is harmed. >> i want to ask about the man in the video who puts the chokehold on mr. neely. daniel penny. he has not been charged in this incident but the investigation continues. do we have any sense where that stands? >> reporter: the district attorney's office and prosecutors, as well as the nypd, they are all investigating this case. because of last week when a medical examiner's office determined that the cause of the

death was a chokehold that led the nypd to go and say to the district attorney, what will we do at this point? and now as expected that the d.a.'s office will decide if and/or when they will present charges in the case. that could happen this week. >> they would present it to a grand jury. >> that would be presented to a grand jury. >> and the grand jury would have to issue the charges? >> absolutely. >> all eyes on this one as tensions rice, rehema ellis, thank you so much. the southern border is bracing for a surge in migrant crossings. on thursday so-called title 42, the pandemic era border restriction is set to expire. in southern california crowds of migrants have already begun to gather and on the eastern edge of the border with texas in el paso large groups are camping out in the city's streets there and guad venegas joins us from tijuana, mexico, across the border in mexico. tell us where you are and what you're seeing today? >> reporter: kate, we're at one of the largest shelters in

tijuana and we're told they have about 1700 migrants here. it's an entire community. they use whatever space they can in a very remote area of tijuana. it's up in the hills, as you can see, the dirt roads to get here inside this building, we have the dormitories, we can't go in there because there's people sleeping so stayed outside where we have seen large crowds of migrants that have to hang out in the outside of the shelter because there just isn't enough space inside. you can see a lot of women and children that have been staying here so the city of tijuana has about 30 different shelters, now, less than ten, i'm told, are official shelters, so it's difficult to really have an understanding of the thousands that are around the city in different shelters. we know that there has been a group camping out at the border wall. we've been reporting from that border wall for two to three days here. this is 200 to 300 migrants that have chosen to enter illegally then turn themselves in to request asylum. these are migrants that arrived

in tijuana trying to use the cvp one app to request an appointment and go to the border and request asylum. that's the app that keeps freezing and we keep hearing from the individuals here that every morning they try but they still haven't been able to successfully get that appointment. and they tell me that every day more and more migrants are coming in. now, the city of tijuana, something that's different between this city and other cities at the border in mexico, this city has been preparing for years building more shelters and the infrastructure does exist because they have experienced other migrant surges in the past, kate. >> guad venegas, great to have you down there to give us a picture of what's happening. appreciate it. gun violence in puerto rico is claiming the lives of two men visiting from new york. two new york university business students were killed in san juan on saturday. it happened right outside a nightclub. nbc news reporter maya eaglin has been following it for us and joins us now. >> reporter: the nyu community

is mourning the loss of two students killed on vacation. here's more of what happened. sergio and franco had a lot of life ahead of them. both men mba students at the stern school of business. >> they were just unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time. >> reporter: the two went to puerto rico on vacation for the weekend. early saturday morning after a night out in the capital san juan, police say the two men were caught in the cross fire of a shooting. police identified the woman holding a gun in this video as maren claudio. that woman has since turned herself in to police. she's now in custody and appeared in court this morning as the search for additional suspects continue. the tragedy comes amid a bloody year in puerto rico with 167 homicides in 2023 so far. connie luke was a classmate of sergio. >> he asked good questions in class, i will say, things i didn't think of so it's sad to see a life being taken away.

>> reporter: the other victim, franco, had won first place at the jpmorgan chase competition last year for aspiring bankers. there was a moment of silence in class this week. >> it was emotional and i can't imagine what their family and parents are going through. >> reporter: a vigil is planned to remember the legacies of these two students whose lives ended too early. ny. nyu has offered their condolences. the stern school of business is setting up scholarships in their name. the tv announcer for the oakland a's is under fire and off the job after saying -- speaking a racial slur live on the air. here's how the moment played out during the a's pregame show on friday. >> we had a phenomenal day today. [ bleep ] league museum and arthur breents's barbecue.

>> that came after he visited a museum. he used the "n" word and now they're divided over whether he should be fired. marissa parra following the story for us. so, marisa, what has the announcer said and what's been the reaction? >> reporter: yeah, so this was last friday during the team's pregame show. kuiper was trying to say he paid a visit to the negro league's baseball museum but instead of using the word negros he used the "n" word so it was over an hour later that addressed the moment saying it was a mistake. >> a little bit earlier in the show it came out not quite the way i wanted it to and i wanted to apologize if it sounded different than i meant it to be said. >> reporter: so, kate, kuiper is not the only one facing criticism. the commentator standing next to

him facing heat for not addressing the moment as it happened. he later addressed it on twitter saying he didn't realize what had happened until it was too late, kate. >> marisa, do we know when a decision might be made on kuiper's future and what happens next. >> reporter: a great question. we know the oakland a's released a statement saying they found the language used by kuiper to be unacceptable. they said they do not condone it and said, they are, quote, working to address the situation but, you know, we also have bob kendrick, the president of the negro league baseball museum who had his own response. >> that word is hurtful. it is painful. i don't know glen's heart. but i do know my heart, and my heart is one of forgiveness, and i hope that everyone else will join me in forgiving him. >> reporter: so kuiper's fate remains a flash point of discussion on line and to your point in terms of when he'll be

back we know he is suspended and will remain off the air until a thorough investigation is completed, kate. >> all right, marisa, thank you. coming up what all women need to know about new breast cancer screening guidelines. you're watching "nbc news daily." but first time for today's daily snapshot. meet the newest and youngest members of a monastery in south korea. they will spend the next few weeks training to become buddhist monks. >> so young, so smiley. first order of business shaving their heads. each year children are invited to celebrate as

want more e from your r vitam? get m more with n nature's bob. from t the first-e-ever tripe actition sleep s supplement.. to daily d digestive s suppor. to more wewellness sololutios every daday. get m more with n nature's bob.

for today's "daily health" new guidelines on when women should get screened for bess cancer. experts say they should start screening every other year beginning at age 40. joining us is ob-gyn dr. jessica shepherd. nice to see you again. the last guidance i think from 2016 suggested screening starting at age 50. now we're talking about 40. why the change? >> well, i think, you know, this is the reason for guidelines and recommendations is to look at screens, not to diagnose but give us more tools as physicians

to be able to give you better diagnosis and be more preventive so when we looked actually in the task force rather, when they looked at the rate of breast cancer between the ages of women between 40 and 49, they did see a 2% increase per year between the years of 2015 and 2019 so from this information, this is why we do these screenings and looking back at data retrospectively to say do we need to change this recommendation and in this instance they felt it was going to save more lives, 20%, in fact, looking across the life span of a woman when we know that breast cancer actually is one in eight chance of having that in a woman's lifetime. >> so this could be life changing. that's important and, dr. shepherd, another big health story, starting today the fda is meeting to consider the first over the counter birth control pill that's pretty big. the last data indicating 65% of women ages 15 to 49 are on some form of contraception. what would this mean for women

if approved? >> i think that these are more options and the ability again for women to make really good decisions about how they would like to ice their reproductive health and when it comes to prevention of pregnancy being able to make those decisions and specifically, you know, this is very important for women who maybe don't have access to health care in the way that we typically see or maybe live in rural areas and this allows them again to make a decision but to have access to that resource that they can use in order to prevent pregnancy and give them the empowering ability to maintain the reproductive health. >> yeah, dr. jessica shepherd, important stuff, thank you so much. fertility treatment options like ivf and iui are pretty common for families looking to expand. >> many have a vision of what they want their families to look like but some people are running into a problem. they can't find special donors that represent their culture. i spoke to some families about the impact of america's plaque sperm donor shortage. >> from a very young age i knew

i wanted to be a mom. >> reporter: what she didn't know is that at 24 she would need a sperm donor. >> what were you looking for? >> at first it was trying to find a donor that that was african american. >> reporter: in the united states there's a black sperm donor shortage. a recent study looking at 20 banks in the country finding over 1600 donors just 53 were african american. that's only 3.2%. the lack of representative donors leading some like brooks to less regulated tactics of conception. >> did you have any concerns about using online groups when they don't have the same regulations? >> absolutely. can you run into a lot of, you know, legal issues. >> reporter: finding a black donor using u.s. cryobanks is an issue angela knows well too. >> we were not able to find a black donor that matched our needs so ended up using a donor from venezuela. >> it motivated the 40-year-old to create her own organization, the reproductive village cryobank. >> i thought i could help more black donors tom could these

legacy white sperm banks or do our own thing and create a welcoming community for black men and black families to come and expand and sustain their families. >> reporter: experts like doctors cassie hobbs and alexis gads den say several obstacles created this. >> we must mention this fact of a historical distrust in minority populations in the african american population of the medical system in general. >> if you have the sickle cell trait which one in ten to 1 in 13 individual has you're disqualified. >> reporter: sperm donation in the united states is extremely selective with height and education requirements and extensive health and psych evaluations. another major disqualifier men who have sex with men cannot donate following a controversial fda ban in place since 2005. in a statement to nbc the fda said in part despite the high level of accuracy and sensitivity of today's gone for screening test for communicable diseases fda still believes the testing alone is not sufficient to prevent the introduction,

transmission and spread of communicable diseases and protect recipients. reese did find her black sperm donor. >> i didn't realize how expensive it would be. i did three tries with that person and unfortunately i did not conceive. >> reporter: she says around 1200 per vial she sought a new donor. during her next try she didn't find a black donor match. >> how did it feel realizing you weren't going to get that black sperm donor. >> i think it was more important that i at the end of the day was a mom. so it definitely hurt my feelings that there was a lack of african american donors. i didn't care if she came out purple. i just wanted to be a mom. >> thank you for that. >> of course, my trtrying vapeses to quiuit smokingg mimight feel like prorogress, but with 3 3x more nicicotie than a p pack of cigigarette- vapes s increase c cravings- trapapping you i in an endless crcraving loopop. nicorette e reduces crcravins until l they'rere gone for r .

welcome back. yesterday nbc bay area began to delve into a push by the biden administration to make airlines pay passengers when flights are delayed or cancelled. consumer investigator chris kamura read through the proposal and what the new federal rule may mean for your traveling future. >> the biggest development could mean cash in your pocket. the transportation department says it's proposing for the very first time in history compensation for passengers when there is a controllable airline cancellation or significant delay. how much money? that's up for discussion. if the u.s. looks to european rules which have required cash for years, passengers could get up to $600 each. 600 euro in this case.

$600 on a sliding scale. they are looking to make airlines pay when there is a crowable delay or cancellation. it means it will define controllable. the feds say no airline guarantees cash for canceling flights, one offers miles and a travel voucher, that is alaska w we asked for comment. they referred us to the trade group. they said they have no incentive to delay or condition cancel a flight and do everything to ensure flights depart on time but safety is the type property. we asked to clarify whether that meant paying passengers cash for delays might compromise safety. we didn't receive a response. federal rules take months to implement and input is a vital step there. when the d.o.t. opens for public comment we will show you how you can add your opinion. in the meantime, share your airline gripes with us. scan the qr code on your screen right now to fill out our consumer compliant form online.
