hello, everyone. i'm kate snow. >> we're so glad to be with you. i'm vicky nguyen. nbc "news daily" starts right now.

today, monday, may 15th, dramatic shift. migrant crossings dropping substantially after the change in border policies last week. why sanctuary cities are still struggling though to house those who are coming. path of destruction. at least one person is killed after powerful tornadoes rip across texas. this as a new round of severe weather is threatening more than a half a a dozen states. . >> cononsumer alert. the federal government wants a recall of 67 million air bag inflaters. why the manufacturer disagrees. and talking it out. a first look at a brand-new campaign focused on preventing suicide by not being afraid to use that word. we begin this hour along america's southern border. since the covid-era restriction known as title 42 ended on thursday, the white house says border crossings are down more than 50%. >> take a look at this. last week border crossings hit

an unprecedented daily level peaking at more than 11,000 people, and on sunday, that number plunged dramatically, down to just 4,100. president biden spoke about it on sunday. >> they have gone down. my hope is they'll continue to go down and we have a lot more work to do. we need some more help from the congress as well. >> reporter: george solis is along the border in el paso, texas. why do officials think the number of people coming into the u.s. has fallen so rapidly after we saw those big crowds last week before title 42 was lifted? >> reporter: yeah. good afternoon, kate. it really depends on who you ask. dhs officials holding a press conference with reporters over phones and saying that they believe it might have something to do with military personnel and the stronger presence at the border and you have countries working on cracking down the cartels moving people across the border. you also have the theory that migrants are hearing there were a lot of whispers leading up to

the expiration of title 42, and a lot of migrants began to move towards those borders to try and cross before the lifting of title 42, and then of course, the biden administration itself is saying that some of the plans that was in place and some of the warnings about what would happen if some of these asylum seekers crossed illegally, possibly being banned from doing so for the next five years also had something to do with it. migrants are still flooding to these border cities and they are filling up the detention centers and some of the shelters here in these communities. some of them too afraid to go in. you have families that are sleeping on the streets. many are seeing them flood out and venture out into these communities still waiting to see what will happen next, guys. >> george, there are still people trying to cross into the u.s. you have been talking with some of them. i mean, ultimately this is a story as we have been saying about people. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. some of the stories here are

absolutely gut-wrenching, right? you have families who have had to make drastic decisions as far as either coming into this country illegally, risk being deported and those who make it through, and have the risk of those families being separated at the board, and we've heard one or two instances of including one grandmother who said her 4-year-old grandson was separated from her at the border. now they have to make the decision whether or not to stay here in el paso, move to dallas, and hope for some notification. take a look at the conversation i had with these migrant families. [ speaking non-english ] franklin tells me this is really the only option that he had. a lot of the shelters only accepting women and children at the time. so this is really more of a situation of circumstance. they have a 4-year-old grandson that is not with them. he's being processed right now. they have the option to leave, but they say they cannot leave their grandson behind. >> reporter: and as it turns

out, i have recently spoken with that family, and they say they may have to leave their grandson behind. some families feel they are stuck between policy and politics. back to you. >> george, thank you so much. at this hour, we're tracking a new round of severe weather threats including the risk of flooding in california and texas. yosemite national park says three campgrounds are closed today due to flooding concerns as snow on top of nearby mountains begins to mount. >> flash flooding in st. louis there, cars left submerged. in southern texas, homeowners are cleaning up the damage caused by a deadly ef-1 tornado. a total of 55 twisters have been reported across the plains since friday. >> meteorologist bill karins is tracking what's coming, but let's talk to katie beck. she's surveying the damage in laguna heights, texas along the gulf of mexico near the u.s./mexico border. >> reporter: this small community of laguna heights,

texas, now recovering and rebuilding after that deadly ef-1 tornado touched down saturday morning at 4:00 a.m., catching many neighbors and residents by surprise. the deadly tornado claiming the life of 42-year-old robert flores who family members tell us was enjoying being a newlywed and a new father. the devastation left behind has left neighbors grieving and in shock. many have had land here in their family for generations. they say their spirit to rebuild still remains strong. >> just keep your head up, and move on. keep getting together. build yourself up. don't worry about the past. just get together. worry about what you have right now. >> we have a lot of family support, and i mean, we'll make the best of it. we're survivors, and that's the way it is. >> reporter: the national weather service tells us that 38 families here in laguna heights have been displaced by this

tornado. they say the red cross and the salvation army are now working with those families to find temporary housing until they can find something more permanent. in the meantime, some threat of weather continues as the recovery goes on. back to you. >> so much destruction. katie beck, thank you. we want to bring in our nbc meteorologist now. so bill, time out these systems for us this week. where are folks in this country -- where should they be most concerned? >> isolated severe weather and flash flooding and an epic heat wave that continues. those are the weather headlines. we had 54 tornadoes by the way. today we have thunderstorms over missouri, popping up in texas. these are the same areas that saw a lot of rain this weekend. these are spots that we have a slight risk of seeing some flash flooding, nothing that's going to be too dramatic. it'll be isolated. we have heat advisoies from fresno to bakersfield, and from portland north to seattle. temperatures continue to be 10 to 20 to almost 30 degrees warmer than they should be, and

this afternoon we could break some record highs once again. seattle, you should be break yours, and portland, 89 is the predicted high. the record is 87, and eugene has a chance of breaking the record high, and as we go through the week, it's not like it cools off that much, ladies. we'll be well above average, summer life in many areas in the west. >> thank you so much. you might not have noticed, but this weekend could very well have been a game changer in the 2024 race for president. former president donald trump and florida governor ron desantis were both planning to hold events in the key state of iowa over the weekend, but when president trump canceled his rally because of a tornado threat, desantis had the spotlight all to himself. vaughn hilliard is following all of it for us. good to see you. desantis has yet to declare his candidacy, but what was his message in iowa this weekend? >> reporter: there was a clear message. while he didn't name donald trump by name, his veiled shot

was clear in its intention. take a listen. >> we must reject the culture of losing that has infected our party in recent years. the time for excuses is over. governing is not about entertaining. governing is not about building a brand or talking on social media and virtue signaling. it's ultimately about winning and about producing results. >> reporter: kate, that is the voice of a florida governor, but also a likely political rival to donald trump who as you said, was grounded in florida, and was not able to appear at his own rally in iowa over this weekend, but ron desantis made stops in sioux city, cedar rapids, and des moines, and they're moving into an office in tallahassee in which our team is reporting will be his campaign headquarters. we should expect that soon. >> because they're moving, i heard that triggers that he's

going to have to announce pretty soon. meanwhile, former president trump punching back, blasting desantis in a new interview today. what did he say? >> reporter: right, this interview was very clear in which donald trump has every intention of taking personal shots at ron desantis. you can look at some of those quotes, calling into question his personality and notably his loyalty. there was a little bit less on political substance, but for donald trump, this is somebody who he had helped become governor back in 2018, and feels like he was undercut by ron desantis now looking to dtl him ultimately going to be up to republican caucus-goers in iowa and primary voters in new hampshire and beyond to determine which man to go with, but as i say man, there's also of course, other candidates that are at the heart of this too including nikki haley, potentially tim scott, asa hutchinson. this could become a crowded field if desantis gets in. >> vaughn hilliard, thank you. netflix is planning to make dramatic cuts to spending and a

new startup wants to give you a tv for free. >> morgan brennan joins us now with today's cnbc money minute. hey, morgan. >> hi, kate and vicky. netflix wants to find ways to save money and cut $300 million. the streaming giant has pushed back its crackdown on password sharing, but staffers have been told layoffs aren't coming, but they need to be more strict with spending especially related to hiring. "the philadelphia inquirer" was unable to print its sunday paper due to a cyberattack. they're working to restore operations after the intrusion, and there was no timeline for full printing restoration. the paper contacted the fbi to investigate. and a new company, telly wants to give away millions of televisions. the company was founded by someone who wants to bring free

content. the tvs will come for free, but viewers will be subject to a second screen showing constant advertisements that are specifically tailored to them. so guys, free tvs, but the tradeoff here, you got to give away some of your data, and you got to pay attention or at least have these ads streaming basically all the time. >> i figured there was a catch. you don't just get a free tv. >> good point on that, kate. but you know what's cool about this pluto? what's cool about that? pop quiz. >> about pluto? oh, i don't know. what? >> you can see us. >> you can see us. oh my gosh. well, yes. yes, of course. too easy. >> the pluto app is very easy. i've told my parents. watch it there. >> i love it. coming up, the new problem on the streets of san francisco now that driverless taxis have hit the road. >> driverless. breaking news, two staffers hurt after an attack on a congressman's offens whatat we.e my a1c wasas up here;; now, i it's down w with rybels.

self-driving cars are taking over the streets of san francisco. they're part of a pilot program of driverless taxis crisscrossing the city delivering and picking up passengers. people say these driverless vehicles are jamming things up. here's nbc's jake ward. >> reporter: car stopped in the middle of the street blocking emergency responders. another getting very close to a city bus.

this one seemingly confused by road construction and frozen in its tracks. >> it finally stopped right before falling into a hole. >> reporter: some robot drivers in training have not seemed to learn all the rules of the road. >> i've seen at least one incident a day now with autonomous vehicles. >> reporter: san francisco has served for the testing ground for a fleet of robotaxis. driverless cars you can pay with the touch of a button, but when things go wrong, they are a traffic nightmare, imposing real roadblocks for first responders. >> the vehicle just, like, came and blocked him. >> reporter: this fire chief says without a driver at the wheel, robot drivers often make the wrong choice around fire truck. >> they stop in the middle of the street and turn their emergency blinkers on any time they see flashing lights. >> reporter: they described them rolling into fire scenes, having to break windshields to stop a vehicle. >> the technology is not ready for primetime. >> reporter: the director of transportation here says 911

calls about robot cars have tripled in the last year, but here's the thing. >> we have no regulatory authority over them whatsoever. >> even though it's your city that's being affected? >> it's our city and our street, but our city has pre-empted municipal authority just like taxis or scooters. >> reporter: robot car companies share only limited data. crews did not respond to requests, they say they're safer than humans. 42,000 humans died in vehicle accidents last year. >> we have very infrequent events that occur, but they get a lot of attention. >> reporter: they say it's three 911 calls a day about autonomous vehicles. that doesn't sound infrequent. >> what i mean is relative to the number of miles we drive and relative to the number of emergency vehicle contacts that we face on a day-to-day basis. >> reporter: the chief safety officer says every mile driven

in california teaches the whole fleet new skills. >> the attention of autonomous vehicles would have a dramatic impact on congestion. it would result in significant delays to our transit system and our emergency vehicle response time. >> and it might even cause a threat to safety. >> yes. >> jake ward with that fascinating report. this would be one of the biggest safety recalls to happen in the united states. the federal government is demanding nearly 70 million air bag inflaters be recalled, but so far the company that makes them is refusing. here's nbc news correspondent emily equetta. >> reporter: correspond ents are pumping the brakes on air bag inflaters. the safety administration demanding the maker to recall 67 million inflaters that they say pose a risk of death or injury and could rupture or project

metal fragments. >> they have to act quickly. it's in the blink of an eye. if there is metal in there, it comes out and mtal has been able to puncture people in the neck of face. >> reporter: the incidents that have occurred have been severe including a driver's death in michigan in 2021, but a legal battle is brewing with arc refusing to recall their inflaters manufactured before 2018. 67 million million inflaters, put that number into perspective for me. >> there arere 28484 million vehicleses in the united states. so it is a huge impact in terms of the vehicle population in the united states. if this is a recall of 67 million air bag inflaters, it would be one of the largest ever in the united states. >> reporter: arc argues just seven incidents in the u.s. over a decade and a half do not support finding that a systemic and prevalent defect exists across this population.

the air bag inflaters are used by at least a dozen automakers including general motors, which just announced it's voluntarily recalling nearly 1 million vehicles equipped with arc inflaters, including certain chevrolet traverse, and enclave models. a step think say is out of abundance of caution. industry experts say if a standoff drives on, they could take the tennessee-based company to court and try and force a recall. coming up, how ukraine's prime minister is rushing to build international support as his country braces for a potential surge of violence. you are watching nbc "news daily." ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ what do we always say, sonon? liliberty mututual customimis yoyour car insnsurance.... so y you only papay for r what you n need. that's's my boy. now you u get out ththere, anand you makeke us proud,d, ? ♪ bye, uncncle limu.

salary structure. the agreement also includes the addition of teacher librarians and mental health counselors at the elementary level. agreement of common good was also reached. they include reparation for black students, resources for unhoused students, school closures, and shared governance. this is a statement from oakland educators association. oea has reached a tentative agreement with ousd. our community rallied together to fight for oakland students and we won. ousd has committed to decent wages for educators, more resources and demanding working conditions. our collective power was also compelled ousd to discuss matters of the common good for our students and families. >> it's not quite over yet. there's still the ratification process. we have to vote on it. i think it is likely that it will be ratified simply because

you know, we're not, this site in particular is pretty unified and militant and a lot of us are on the same page about our disappointment. but we're only one school site and only one, you know, group of people. >> you can see the difference in sentiment between that teacher and the statement that was released earlier by oea. the teacher says the vote to ratify that tentative agreement will happen later this week. in the meantime, students and teachers will go back to school tomorrow. today was an optional transition day for teachers and students and tomorrow will be the return to the classroom officially. nbc bay area news.

ukraine is preparing for a long anticipated spring offensively shoring up support among european allies. on saturday, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy met with the prime minister of italy in rome and pope francis at the vatican. on sunday, zelenskyy traveled to france and germany to meet with those countries' leader, and this morning, zelenskyy met with the uk prime minister. nbc news correspondent ali arouzi is in london. what's behind all this? >> reporter: it's been a whirlwind few days of diplomacy, and it's all in an effort to secure much needed military and financial aid before that anticipated counteroffensive that you mentioned by ukraine against russian forces. he also picked up a prize for his country's fight for european ideals during his visit to germany, and it all seems to be pretty successful, kate. he tweeted that with each visit, ukraine's defense and defensive capabilities are expanding. the ties with europe are getting

stronger, and the pressure on russia is growing. his italian host promised them full military and financial backing. in germany, he met with chancellor schultz a day after germany announced $2.7 billion worth of weapons and in paris, president macron promised france will train and equip several ukrainian battalions and provide them with tons of armored vehicles and here in the uk, they pledged air defense missiles and long range attack drones for ukraine. that's also after promising some longng-range storm shatter missiles that the ukrainians need to fight the russians on a long-term battle front, and those are all very much appreciated by zelenskyy, but he says they also need fighter jets. >> all right. following all that for us. thank you. the high stakes election to determine turkey's next president is heading to a runoff now after no candidate won a

majority of the votes. the current president erdogan who has ruled the country for 20 years holds a slight edge after winning 49% of the vote according to the turkish high election board. the right wing leader trying to fend off a left-leaning challenger. the main issues included the economy, civil rights, and the handling of the devastating earthquakes earlier this year. the second round runoff is set for may 28th. at this hour, we are following some breaking news outside washington. democratic representative gerry connolly says a man armed with a baseball bat attacked staffers at his office. ali vitali is with us now. what do we know about this attack and the conditions of those who staffers? >> reporter: we're getting more information by the minute. the police saying they have those two staffers being treated

for non-life-threatening injuries at the hospital, and the person who came in and attack them is in police custody. gerry connolly tweeting a statement about what happened here saying, in part, that many morning that individual entered his district office and asked for connolly, but when he wasn't there, this person attacked his staffers with what we've now learned is a metal baseball bat. connolly then went on to say that both members of the team were transferred to the hospital, and right now the office's focus is ensuring that they are receiving the care that they need, but an extremely scary moment as we learned that one of the staffers was a senior staffer and was hit in the head with that metal baseball bat. another staffer was an intern on her first day in the office. she was hit in the side, and again, they're being treated for non-life-threatening injuries buck a very, very scary scene just outside of washington. >> we hope they have a quick recovery, ali. i also want you to talk to us about the other issue happening right now on capitol hill. the debt ceiling talks, president biden and top

lawmakers are set to meet again tomorrow. where do things stand, and what's the official deadline? do we know yet? sometime in june? >> reporter: yeah. we're still thinking it's june 1st though we're likely to get another update today as to if that date is going to change. nevertheless, we're looking ahead to tomorrow with no firm time set for this meeting yet, but everyone who has been involved in these meetings from the president to speaker mccarthy saying that they will meet tomorrow even as mccarthy at multiple points throughout the day today has been repeatedly pessimistic about where talks stand right now. staff met throughout the weekend, but it's going to be really important when we see these five men in a room together tomorrow. vicky? >> ali, thank you some. there is controversy brewing in florida over a memorial to victims of the pulse nightclub shooting. next month will mark seven years since a gunman walked onto the -- into the orlando gay nightclub and murdered 49 people. the memorial was supposed to be built on the site where the attack happened, but talks

between the owners of the club and the onepulse foundation have broken down now. we're following this story. what exactly is at issue here? >> reporter: important to note that there are two entities that have been in ongoing negotiations now for sometime to try to determine the future of this memorial on the grounds of where the pulse nightclub stood, and you have the ownership of the nightclub itself which is comprised of three separate parties, and then the foundation for the pulse nightclub as well, and according to barbara poma, she is one of the three owners, she says that they were willing to donate their share, and another owner as well. to two of the three owners were willing to donate their ownership essentially to the foundation so this memorial could go up, but according to her, she says the third owner has decided not to relinquish their part of the property, essentially creating an impasse for any upcoming memorial.

now poma was said to have been offered more than $2 million for the property back in 2016 according to a county -- or a city commissioner, rather, but that they refused that offer at the time because they wanted to control the future of this memorial. since then, there has just been a long, drawn out negotiation process, and for those impacted by this tragedy personally, it has been a painful process, and here's what they had to say about the fact that now here we are years later with no real plans for a memorial in sight. >> we are the pulse tragedy. the 49 -- the 49 families and the 53 serious gunshot survivors, we should own onepulse and control it because we could do the same thing they have been doing, but we would take care of each other. >> and we've heard from the

onepulse foundation, that nonprofit. they say the claims made today about the foundation are unclue and misinformed. they say they release their tax audits adhered to since its inception. and that one owner said these people continue to speak untruthfully about us. she said, while i recognize and respect these individuals in grief, that should not serve as a free pass as intentionally spreading lies about us. it is hurtful and helps no one. i should add that our nbc affiliate in orlando did contact that owner accused of not relinquishing their share, kate, and according to our affiliate, they say that at no point were they initially notified and as a silent partner, they have no plans to donate in the pass or in the future. kate? >> it sounds like a lot of

people arguing with each other, but the bottom line is there's no memorial. >> absolutely. >> thank you. the publishers of "the philadelphia inquirer" are scrambling to fully restore operations after a weekend cyberattack crippled the news organization. because of the attack, the newspaper actually was not able to print sunday's edition, and now federal authorities are involved. nbc news reporter julia jester is following this story for us. so julia, walk us through what happened here. >> readers of "the philadelphia inquirer" who hoped to pick up a physical copy of the sunday edition were met with disappointment after a cyberattack prevented the newspaper from going to print. in what they called the most significant disruption to its operations in 27 years, a cyberincursion impacted the paper's internal systems, forcing the paper to print an early edition for its sunday delivery to subscribers, needing to slow updates on its website.

the publisher was unable to provide an exact timeline for full restoration of those systems and said the paper is investigating what went wrong and has contacted the fbi. vicky? >> julia, this is serious paper other instances of these cyberattacks? bring us up to date. >> the timing of this is especially inconvenient as philadelphia is set to have its mayoral primary on tuesday which is a big deal for "the philadelphia inquirer," and news organizations have been increasingly targeted with these types of attacks on both employees and their systems, and in december, "the guardian" was hit with the attack, the "l.a. times" was attacked years ago, and this is an issue that is becoming more widespread so these organizations are really trying to push more investment and security, and getting their employees to have two- factor authentication to, you know, keep their information safe. >> yeah, that cybersecurity is

so important. julia jester, thank you so much. coming up, the new ad campaign that encourages conversations as way to prevent suicide. but time for today's daily snapshot. you'll love this one, i promise. look at this. they don't even look real, but i promise they are. this is from china where two francois cubs can be found monkeying round. >> they're known as leaf monkeys and they're considered an endangered species. there are only an estimated 500 left in china and fewer than 1,500 in vietnam. aren't they cute? >> they're just adorable. love them. >> i sai i have an old referenc >> you're bringing back memories >> you're bringing back memories fo so manyr

in today's mental health check, the american foundation for suicide prevention is launching a powerful new campaign called talk away the dark and they're giving us a first look. >> in the kitchen? dad, are you okay? >> yeah. just stressed out.

>> oh, and the melody is sounding so much better. i can play it for you. wait, where's your guitar? >> i gave it to your cousin. >> what? that guitar is, like, your favorite thing. >> i don't need it anymore. ♪♪ >> some days are just better than others. >> i think you should go talk to someone. >> it's not that easy. >> have you been thinking about suicide? you can talk to me, dad. >> here with us now is dr. christine moutier. she's the chief medical officer for the american foundation for suicide prevention. doctor, that's any first time actually seeing that public service announcement. it is so powerful, and i think

it is -- sometimes it contradicts what we think if we're not in this space that you don't want to talk about suicide, and you're scared to even use the word suicide. that's not what the research shows when it comes to people getting this out in the open. >> it comes to when people are so much more open-minded about mental health, and we have that myth floating around in the back of our head, that if they ask somebody if they are having thoughts of ending their life, that they might do that. that has been refuted. it helps people to open up. it can actually be a turning point in their readiness to seek help, potentially for treatment and many other options. >> i want to ask about that conversation, right? you saw the young woman, you know, the actor. it brought tears to my eyes saying, dad. are you thinking about this? how do you start that conversation if you have someone in your life that you think might be struggling? >> yeah. i think it's really important to realize that all of us keep things very zipped up, and, you

know, this is an ad campaign that's really thinking about especially men, but it's really anyone. we all have mental health. we can all struggle. so i think really setting it up for a private conversation where, you know, we ask people how are you doing all the time? but this is taking it to the next level where we open up the dialogue and we say, i want to understand what it is you're experiencing. i have been concerned because -- you can tell them exactly what you noticed and if they sound hopeless or trapped or like a burden, you can ask them if they're thinking about ending their life. >> conversation-starters and we can pop those up on the screen. >> are you thinking -- in that psa, he gives away a guitar, and the daughter is so surprised because it seems like he's giving up in a way. he's giving up something so important. that's one warning sign, perhaps. what are other ones that may not be so obvious? >> well, the thing is it's going to look different for different individuals, but what i tell people, and it might sound a

little overboard, but it's not. everyone can be struggling, and opening up the dialogue is only going to deepen the conversation and offer support, offer a listening ear. >> it's not going to push someone overboard? that's the fear. people think if i mention the word suicide, then someone will go ahead and do it. >> that's not the way it works. people are struggling on the inside. they're trying to do their best, and they're keeping it cloaked most oftentimes, and any sign where someone seems like they're behaving differently, that can be losing their temper and there's a host of different ways that it can manifest, so you really just are trusting your gut instinct. you know the family members, the friends, the coworkers in your life, and what their normal behavior patterns are, and picking up on those signs of distress can be your first step. don't assume you're not the one to do it. you don't have to be a mental health professional. >> okay. >> it's simply caring and being curious, and offering yourself up as a listening ear as a

support. >> wow. >> you know that i have had some personal experience with all of this. i've written about it, vicky. i want to answer what to do if someone answers yes. if they say yes, what's the next thing you say? >> the most important thing to realize is that all human beings struggle at different times. so somebody's telling you that they're having thoughts of ending their life is them presenting a sign of distress, a health symptom if you will. so you simply stay with them. you stay in the conversation. you ask follow-up questions. >> tell me more. >> yes. tell me more. you offer to help them find help, whether that's a mental health professional. there is 988, the national crisis line to call, and you can crisis line to call, and you can learn more a i told mysyself i was s ok with m my moderatete to sevevere rheumamatoid ararthritis sysymptoms. wiwith my psororiatic arthritis s symptoms.. bubut just ok k isn't ok.. anand i was dodone settlini. ifif you stillll have sympmps after a tntnf blockerr like h humira or e enbrel,
