hello, everyone, i'm kate snow. >> and i'm zinhle essamuah. >> "nbc news daily" starts now, it's wednesday, may 10th. border battle. lines at the border are growing ahead of tomorrow's end to the covid era policy called title 42. what's being done to ease the pressure. victory tour. e. jean carroll speaking out after her civil victory over former president donald trump. why this ruling could open the former president up to other civil cases. price drop, new numbers showing inflation in america is easing up. the impact on your wallet and what this says about the economy. and counteroffer. an fda panel votes to allow a birth control pill to be sold over the counter. how soon could you see it on the shelves? welcome, everyone. we start with the crisis on the u.s. border. tomorrow the covid era policy called title 42 will officially expire. >> as a result officials are expecting an influx of migrants at the border. more than 500 troops have been sent to the region. here's president biden on what

to expect in the coming weeks. >> it's going to be chaotic for awhile. >> republicans are criticizing the decision to end title 42 and tomorrow the house will vote on a gop-backed border security bill. nbc news senior national correspondent tom llamas is with us in juarez, mexico, and guad venegas is here the border in san diego we have the whole border covered. tom, let me start with you and heard the president saying this is going to be chaotic. what are you hearing there on the ground from people on the mexico side of the border? what's being done to limit the anticipated chaos? >> right, right, kate. so there is a lot of confusion on this side when you speak to migrants, they understand that the laws, the policies are going to change after thursday night but not sure why and because of that, there is this rush, this crush at the border. places like juarez where we are right now. just beyond that barbed wire fence that is el paso, you can see all of the migrants, many families that are waiting to

hopefully be processed. the problem is that this is not the rule of law here because you're supposed to go to a port of entry. this is an access point, a door on the border wall but somehow migrants heard they were letting people in here and to be completely honest, they've cut, someone has cut a portion of the barbed wire portion off so it is easy to cross the rio grande and walk right up into el paso, of course, you have the border wall on the other side but it's allowing people to come in through here and i think because of that, it's clear that cvp and others aren't wasting resources. but, again, a lot of the migrants think things are going to change after thursday night and that's why they're all showing up here and hoping somehow they can get into the u.s. and claim asylum. >> guad, i want to bring you in. you're here in the united states, san diego, and congress has really been unable to come to any sort of agreement on immigration reform for years.

this crisis is not new but there is new legislation, the secure the border act of 2023 and it's making its way through congress. do you think it stands a chance? >> reporter: zinhle, the white house already said if this were approved, president biden would veto that legislation. there's various reasons why democrats oppose it. they say it doesn't address the root causes of immigration. they also say that that would also undo what they've done with the application they created, the app that allows migrants to access asylum. they go to the port of entry and get an appointment, not the migrants coming here, so for several reasons democrats have said they do oppose that legislation. let's hear from both a republican and a democrat when it comes to this legislation.

they're committed to saving our brave border patrol agents. a nation that is safe. >> well, they want to waste millions on a medieval border wall. a 14th century solution that will not work for a 21st century challenge. >> reporter: of course, we're in san diego. one of the cities that has the most infrastructure when it comes to a border wall. there's two here. a lot of the migrants have been able to go over that first border wall different ways. some tell me they pay someone to use a ladder. there's -- others use a hole that exists. the point is the migrants are not coming in, at least the ones arriving now to try to enter legally. they come to turn themselves in to immigration so right now i think the most important thing is to think of the humanitarian crisis that this is creating, zinhle. >> all right, guad venegas, tom

llamas, thank you both. you do not want to miss "top story" tonight live from the border, the whole show streaming live at 7:00 p.m. eastern. that's on nbc news now. turning to you to new york, congressman george santos whose short career has been plagued with controversy is now facing a 13-count federal indictment. the republican lawmakers turned himself in earlier today and faces charges that include money laundering, wire fraud and theft of public funds pleading not guilty to the charges. house republican leadership urged patience as the legal process plays out. >> santos was never put on committee so he won't serve on committee and will go through his time of trial and find out. >> there is a presumption of innocence but serious charges and he will 15 to go through the legal process but we'll continue to work to root out fraud and there's lots of it. >> nbc news correspondent valerie castro is outside the courthouse this central islip, new york. valerie, thank you for joining

us. i can tell there is a lot of action happening behind you but want to jump in and talk about what happened during the congressman's first hearing that just wrapped up. what's going on and make sure viewers know they are live pictures and you can see george santos making his way -- i imagine valerie is trying to capture some of that sound. he pleaded not guilty. what are you hearing, valerie? >> zinhle, as you see by live picture there's a lot of commotion, people are trying to get george santos to come over to the podium where there are several microphones set up to see if he will speak following this court appearance, again, he pleaded not guilty to all 13 counts, i want to break them down for you, seven counts of wire fraud. three counts of money laundering, two counts of false statements to the house among them. if he is convicted on the most serious, that sentence could be as many as 20 years behind bars. prosecutors accuse him of defrauding political donors by supplies tinge campaign funds

and using some to pay off personal debts like credit cards and buying designer clothes. again, you're looking at live pictures of george santos. let's see if we can listen in. >> it's a witch-hunt because it makes no sense that in four months, four months, five months, i'm indicted. you have joe biden's entire family receiving deposits from nine, nine family members receiving money from foreign -- from foreign destinations into their bank accounts. it's been years of exposing, a lot of you have reported on them and yet no investigation is launched into them. i'm going to fight -- well, i'm just -- i'm getting back to that. i will fight my battle. i'm going to deliver. i'm going to fight the witch-hunt. i'm going to take care of clearing my name and look forward to doing that. hold on, hold on, hold on. >> what do you say to that -- >> i would like the opportunity

for some of you guys to ask some questions in an orderly fashion and we'll start right here. >> why would you apply for unemployment benefits when you have a job making $120,000 a year? >> rachel, this is part of my defense. this is inaccurate information. >> are we going back to valerie? is she trying to get this? >> reporter: just heard from george santos following his arraignment, again, adamant he looks forward to clearing his name after pleading not guilty to 13 charges in court. we're told he was released on a $500,000 bond. his attorney telling nbc news that there are three individuals that secured that bond that wish to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, santos was ordered to turn over his passport, his travel will be limited between new york and washington, d.c. and his next court appearance is scheduled for june. zinhle. >> valerie, of course, that press conference is happening right behind you. you referenced it. he said he will fight this battle even calling it a witch-hunt similar too former

president trump's sentiments. what have we heard from gop leadership and the rest of new york's congressional delegation? >> reporter: zinhle, lawmakers on both sides have called for his resignation, some say he should have resigned even before he was sworn in. i believe we have some reaction from those lawmakers. take a listen. >> valerie, presently we don't have that sound but thank you so much for your reporting and we'll stay on it and thank you. valerie castro. for the tenth month in a row inflation is trending downward. take a look at this chart and the red bar that we'll show you will be all the way on the right of your screening. a new report from the bureau of labor statistics says the inflation rate was 4.9% higher in april compared to the same time last year. that's a lower number than expected and as you can see from the chart, a massive improvement from the peak of inflation back last june.

nbc news correspondent tom costello is crunching numbers. it sounds like good news. break things down. where are things droping? >> 4.9% is the inflation rate year over year. the fed is hoping we hit a target of a 2% inflation rate. so we have a long way to go to get there. but as you mentioned, 9% was where we were last june so things are improving after we've now had ten fed rate hikes so far to try to get inflation under control. let's break down where we're seeing it, food year over year up 7.7%. you know that if you go to the grocery store but month over month, flat, not much movement. this is a year over year number. gas declined year over year, shelter up 8%. by the way, rent up 8% year over year, a big deal. used cars 4.5%, all contributing to the inflation picture, if you will and we've also seen, by the way, i would just tell you that kind of a stubborn situation with gas, because while it was showing some improvement down

12% into april and then we've now seen it tick back up again. >> thinking about the summer travel, i think of you, tom, all those airline flight prices that are through the roof too. big picture, americans, though, are still going on vacation, still spending money even though the cost of goods remains high. do we know what to expect this summer, whether that will persist? >> we have one prediction out of expedia talking about searches for travel this summer and would suck that people are, in fact, going to be traveling. we have summer getaway searches up 25% over last year and 64% of americans now say they're going to take the same amount of vacation or maybe more than they did last year. and then mother's day is approaching. interesting number, federal retail -- national retail federation saying that $35.7 billion will be spent on mother's day. 4 billion more than last year. $274 per person. the most ever. we're spending on mom this year,

kate. >> did you just say $274 per person for your mom? >> yeah, it's going to be an expensive brunch then you got to break out the flowers and buy perfume. >> okay. i can't say what i'm sending because she might be watching, but, mom, i'm sorry, it's not $274. tom costello, thank you. >> all right. coming up what is at stake? the high-profile trial involving prince harry and the popular british newspaper. plus, e. jean carroll's message to former president trump after a civil juryound f the abcs of ckckd a a is for awawareness, because knknowing thatat your chchronic kidndney diseasese in t type 2 diababetes could prprogress too dialysysis is impoportant. b is f for belief f that thee may be m more you cacan do. justst remember r that k isis for kidneneys

custody. edward bronstein was pinned to the ground and it comes six weeks after a nurse was charged. gary grumbach is following it for us are his relatives, the state saying anything about this settlement >> reporter: yeah, to catch everyone up the family of edward filed this saying it was excessive force after this incident was caught on tape. his family says edward was terrified of needles and when a california highway patrol tried to take a sample, he was initially reluctant to comply. they held him face down and asked him to stop yelling. he yelled i can't breathe and lost consciousness soon there after. his attorney is hopeful this verdict sends a strong message not just in burbank but around the state. >> we finally have some justice.

we finally have accountability and this settlement, why the 24 million is so important, because it sends a message to every police officer in california, had they but their badge on they take an oath to protect life >> his death has prompted the california highway patrol to change its policies preventing officers from using techniques that involve what they call substantial risk of positional asphyxia and in 2021 gavin newsom signed a law barring police from the state using certain face-down hold, officially the largest civil rights settlement of its kind by the state of california, kate. >> gary, meantime, the case against these seven officers and the nurse connected to his death continues, right >> reporter: yes, two overlapping cases here, that civil trial which just wrapped up and criminal trial.

the six officers involved in the incident face one count each of involuntary manslaughter and one felony count of assault under the color of authority the registered nurse on the scene was also charged with involuntary manslaughter and if convicted could get up to four years in prison. >> gary, thank you now to a stunning story out of utah that's getting a lot of attention. a mother who wrote a children he book about the death of her husband is being charged with his murder here's nbc correspondent erin mclaughlin >> so my husband passed away unexpectedly last year. >> reporter: a month after promoting her children's book inspied by her husband's death the widowed mother of three is charged with his murder. >> so you actually wrote this book with your children. >> i did. >> reporter: police arrested kouri richins on monday outside of park city, utah, alleging the 33-year-old poisoned her husband eric last march with a lethal dose of fentanyl. >> he had three boys he loved more than anything. >> reporter: according to court documents, police were

called to the couple's home at 3:22 in the morning and found eric unresponsive on the floor of his bed an autopsy later revealing he had five times the lethal dosage of fentanyl in his system. she made him a moscow mule before she went to sleep in her child's room while she claimed she didn't touch her phone until she called 911, investigators say they found phone records indicating she had sent and received messages that night, which were later deleted. her seemingly heartfelt sentiments now seen in a different light. >> it's just comforting to them to know that, you know, they're not living this life alone like dad is just here, it's just in a different way. >> reporter: according to the charges documents, she purchased fentanyl from an acquaintance for an investor asking for some of the michael jackson stuff following their valentine's dinner, he became ill and told

friends he thought his wife was trying to poison him prosecutors allege kouri then purchased even more fentanyl, and less than a month later, eric was dead, and kouri claiming to be grief-stricken dedicated this book to her husband calling him a wonderful father >> i took things that my kids have said to me this last year and we kind of articulated it and put it into a story. >> reporter: kouri richins i charged with one count of aggravated murder and three additional felony drug charges and yet to enter a plea and her attorney declined to comment at this time. richins is expected in court next week. back to you. >> erin, thank you. a courtroom battle in london is pitting prince harry against a british tabloid, "the daily mir evacuate" accused in a phone hacking scandal targeting harry and several other british celebrities. the publisher acknowledged and apologized for illegally gathering information about the prince joining us now is nbc news correspondent ali arouzi in london for us. walk us through the lawsuit and

where we're at what specifically is the tabloid accused of doing >> reporter: hey, kate, well, the tabloid is being accused of unlawfully gathering information and then publishing this in articles between 1996 and 2011 and as you mentioned, there is a whole range of well-known figures in this country that have brought this case against the mirror group including the estate of the late pop star george michael prince harry's lawyers are saying that all this information was obtained illegally, most of it through phone hacking between 1996 and 2011. there was published in some 133 articles and they're saying all the information in that article is illegal because the method with which they gathered it was illegal. the heart of the case is whether mirror group executives knew about this widespread hacking

that was going on. now, prince harry's lawyer is saying that they knew about it and not only did they fail to do anything about it, they authorized this going on so a lot of questions for them to answer but these executives are all denying that they -- >> harry has often gotten involved in these cases. do we expect he might testify, prince harry >> reporter: what we're learning from his legal team we're expecting him to show up here in june and give evidence and if he does show up and give evidence, he will be the first royal to give evidence in court since the 19th century and really has made it to go after the british tabloid media. his life's mission is to change the british media landscape. >> yeah, he's talked about that in his memoir. the publisher has apologized

what else are they saying? >> reporter: that's right. i mean straight out of the gates they apologized. they said that they had illegally gathered information on one instance, very important to mention that. they're just saying there was one instance they gathered information and they're saying that harry's claims warrant some sort of compensation what that compensation will be we'll find out at the end of the trial. kate >> ali arouzi in london, thank you. there's another high-establishes hollywood fight that could keep those reruns on your tv for quite some time. the directors guild of america is now starting to negotiate with studios and streaming companies. at the same time the writers guild remains on strike grinding production on many hit shows to a halt nbc news correspondent marissa parra joins us from los angeles to talk about this first, let's start with the deal or no deal situation we're in because if a deal is not reached between the dga and studio, what exactly does that mean for everyone watching, for people just trying to watch their

favorite shows >> reporter: yes, so that's a great question first things first, they're starting their negotiations now. their contract expires june 30th so some time to work things out but, zinhle, one thing i want to point out some people might think i haven't seen the impacts of the strike quite yet outside of late night tv but that's because you have streaming platforms like netflix saying they have things in the pipeline, they have enough content in the pipeline but ultimately what we're going to see is depending on how long the strike lasts and especially if you see directors joining on the picc line and going fully on strike then you have s s.a.g.-aftra and if they join it forget about it. at some point we will see that pipeline dry up and you will see an impact but it depends on how things go over the next few weeks. >> just because you don't feel it now doesn't mean it won't come later the demands, what is it they're asking for. >> reporter: in addition to the

things you would expect, of course, they're bringing up things like pensions and whatnot. but this strike with the writers has been called the streaming strike and that's something that's really felt across the board, across directors, across actors, these are things they've been complaining about, streaming changed not only the way we watch tv and movies but the way it's made and the way that they get paid so that is a big sticking point for them and so that is going to be interesting because i think in terms of how this negotiation process may go, it may go on longer than it has historically because there's a lot on the line. >> no content without it being written so has there been any progress towards ending the writers strike >> reporter: the short answer is no we know this is kind of how this is going to go the studios have really dug in their heels and when i was speaking to people who are part of the negotiating committee for the writers guild, they said that they didn't expect any movement until after the director's guild negotiations with the studios so this is kind

of falling in line with the timetable we were given, so zinhle, i think everyone just needs to buckle up for the next few weeks and think how things go with the director's guild is going to be extremely telling especially when it comes to the negotiations with the actors afterwards. >> absolutely, buckle up marissa parra, thank you. coming up, the critical seat that could set up the availability of the first over-the-counter birth control drug. but first kate time for today's daily snapshot a precarious situation in this tiny village in switzerland. you can see why, the rocks outside the community are starting to break loose. people have been ordered to evacuate by friday night geologists have been closely watching this hillside for this possibility for years now but you can see it's getting a mttle close for comfort >>uch more "nbc news daily" right after this

an fda panel votes unanimously to recommend the first ever over the counter birth control pill. >> but some experts on the panel have raised concerns about the drug's safety and efficacy joining us is nbc news senior medical correspondent dr. john torres what does today's decision mean and how does it work and who should or shouldn't use it
