a 11-year-old boy who called police for help shot by them instead.

mississippi officials investigating how this happened. oath keeper sentenced. the founder of a far right group handed down the longest sentence yet in the january 6 attack on the capitol. bracing for a busy weekend as millions of americans get ready to hit the road and skies. one airline is getting high tech to framtame the travelers and swifties found themselves in a lavender haze. it's friday, may 26. "early today" starts right now good morning i'm phillip mena >> i'm frances rivera. we begin with outrage in a small mississippi town there are growing demands for a police officer to be fired and charged after he shot a 11-year-old boy who had dialed 911 asking for help. adairian murphy's mother says s she asked her son to call police because of a domestic dispute. when her son came around the corner he was shot in the chest.

>> he asked me in. hospital like why they shot him. he was in good spirit, but every now and then i look over at him and he'll just cry >> the mississippi board of visio investigations says it is assessing the incident but did not give any other details the officer involved is on administrative leave a judge in washington handed down the longest sentence so far in connection to the attack on the capitol. stuart rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in prison at thursday's sentencing, the judge pushed back against rhodes' assertion that he was a political prisoner and that he pose as poses an ongoing threat to democracy. negotiators for the white house and congress met for a fourth straight day as the clock

rapidly ticks down to a possible default. we have the latest on what the government needs to get done in just a short amount of time. >> reporter: just a week away from a potential default and firm warning from the president. >> it's time for congress to act now. >> reporter: amping up the emergency, a new alarm bell with a top credit agency warning it might downgrade america's aaa rating citing partisanship and deterioration in governorance. it all comes down to president biden and house speaker mccarthy >> we're making progress >> i'm a total optimist. we will get this done. >> reporter: the standoff remains over spending. house republicans demanding significant cuts, while the white house wants to protect funding for social programs. key conservative republicans who have the power to derail any deal are urging mccarthy to hold out until democrats slash more spending ali vitali with chip roy >> don't take an off ramp that's

five exits too early a deal for the sake of a deal is no good. >> reporter: democrats worry the president may be giving away too much to get a deal pramila jayapal saying i think the bash lash will be significant if we were to get bullied into a bad deal. the stakes are high. as early as june 1st, the treasury department could start missing payments, which could trigger a wall street meltdown with 401(k)s losing value. then a potential hike in interest rates, making mortgages and credit card bills more expensive. and within weeks, it could spark a recession and massive job losses >> the american people deserve to know that the social security payments will be there, veterans hospitals remain open, and that economic progress will be made and we're going to continue to make it. >> reporter: heading into the memorial dholiday weekend, house

members are heading home and president biden will be in delaware and camp david and can work from there. >> peter, thank you. despite its shaky start on wednesday night, ron sdandesants had no problem raking in cash. the florida governor's campaign brought in $8.2 million in the first 24 hours after it launched, including a million dollar haul within just an hour span this total consists of online contributions as well as donations secured by desantis supporters at his campaign kickoff event. his early fund raising outpaces that of his main rival, former president trump. trump raised $9.5 million in the first six weeks after his campaign announcement in late 2022 the supreme court has ruled in favor of an idaho couple who fought for years with the government over whether land they own include as

federally-protected wet land they say it does not fall under the clean water act so they do not need a permit to build on the property the impact will be felt nationwide, saying that millions of acres of wet land will no longer be under federal jurisdiction shell has agreed to pay $10 million to the state of pennsylvania for exceeding emissions limits at one of their plastic plants, regulator say. the plant blew past its yearly limit before it even opened, state records show a local resident says that since then, quote, the sky has been a different color. a shell spokesperson tells nbc news, quote, we've learned from previous issues and are committed to protecting people and the environment. we turn now to the war in ukraine, which spilled into russia this week the kremlin is still reeling after a daring cross-border raid in belgorod damaged

infrastructure and homes and th forced thousands of russians to evacuate let's turn to claudio lavanga. what happened with the incursion? >> reporter: good morning, frances. on wednesday a group of armed fighters crossed the border into russia from ukraine and launched an attack, as you mentioned, on the russian city of belgorod, forcing thousands of panicked residents to evacuate before russian forces repelled them now two groups of russian citizens who say they rose independently against the putin regime claimed responsibility for the attack, even though russia still says the attack was carried out by ukrainian forces, but whoever carried out these attacks and however short-lived these cross-border incursion was, the greatest damage it did was not on buildings but on the image of the kremlin's ability to protect its own territory, frances. >> all right, claudio, i want to ask you, this attack comes on the heels of a drone explosion in moscow.

is there a risk of escalation here >> reporter: well, on thursday, the "new york times" reported that u.s. officials now believe that drone attack on the kremlin in the beginning of may may have been carried out by ukrainian secret services, even though president zelenskyy may not have been aware of it now it looks like two attacks were on inside russian territory where either initiated or carried out from and by ukraine, that open up two different scenarios. in the one hand, it kind of really damages the aura of invincibility and played into the narrative that the country is under attack and therefore he may foster public opinion in russia in favor of the war, frances. >> certainly, those two sides that can you see when it comes to the narrative let's turn to lopd wndon wha

man has been arrested after crashing his car into the gates of downing street. the driver was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and dangerous driving. they're not treating it as a terror-related event the secretary of the navy revealed thursday that the military branch was one of the targets of a recent chinese-state sponsored hack it comes after microsoft and the nsa disclosed on wednesday that critical u.s. infrastructure had been compromised by a chinese cyber attack secretary carlos delatorre row did not provide details but said it is no surprise for china to be behaving in this manner the chinese foreign ministry and state media have pushed back against the wednesday report, dismissing it as disinformation. parts of the southeast are looking at a soggy start to the weekend. nbc meteorologist michelle grossmann is here with our friday forecast. good friday morning, michelle.
