submersible vessel on its way to the titanic site. >> just a few hours left of oxygen on board. it's anticipated the oxygen will fully run out tomorrow morning. one coast guard official saying they're not giving up hope yet. >> this is a search and rescue mission 100%. we're smack dab in the middle of search and rescue. we'll continue to put every available asset that we have in an effort to find the titan and the crew members. >> the coast guard said it detected underwater noises in the search area. it does not know what those sounds are. five people are on board. the ceo of oceangate is the pilot. the other four passengers are a british billionaire, a pakistani businessman and his son, and a french titanic expert. the search effort is happening about 400 miles off the coast of newfoundland. nbc news correspondent ron allen joins us now from st. john's, canada. sorry, it's jay gray. apologies for that. what information did we learn from the coast guard today?

you're in boston there. >> yeah. we're in boston. that's where the coast guard is running the command and control of this massive search and rescue operation. we learned some important information today in the update. first of all, as you said, they used the word hope a lot. they continued to call this a search and rescue mission and say it will be that for quite some time, that they haven't given up any hope at finding those five men alive and inside that submersible. they did not specifically talk about the amount of oxygen that may be left. we heard over the last couple of days them estimate how much of that emergency oxygen that was on board the vessel was available. today they didn't talk about that and said at one point, and i'm quoting here, it's just one point of data in the entire focus of what they're looking at. we know using the information they provided over the last couple of days they're now well below 20 hours of available emergency oxygen inside that

submersible. again, an estimate, but that's a number they've been working from throughout this process. they also talked a lot about getting more assets into the area. they say they hope to double the assets used during this search in the next day, day and a half, and they think that will really help them cover more ground under water, that's what they're looking for, and get to further depths. as you know, the ruins of the titanic are about 13,000 feet or 2, 2 1/2 miles below the surface. that's one of the logistics nightmares they're dealing with in this unprecedented rescue mission. >> and, jay, i understand that there have been some previous complaints about the vessel's safety. what are you hearing about those? >> yeah. it's important to point out at least two employees of the firm have complained and eventually settled with the company and

their complaints were based on concerns they had about safety. we know that some of the organizations within that field, within the oceanic discovery field and expedition field have reached out. 30 experts writing a letter and saying they feared that there was no real checks and balances involved with this vessel, and that no one had to investigate it, there are no documents necessary, no inspection necessary, so that was something that bothered a lot of people. and i can tell you that what i hear repeatedly from those who are out on the water, those who explore under water is that every vessel they've ever been in has some type of device that will ping, some type of emergency device that will send out a signal and let these teams know exactly where they are. this vessel did not have that, and that's something that concerns a lot of people. >> important reporting. jay gray, thank you very much. prosecutors in the idaho

college student murders case says dna from a cheek swab shows they have the right suspect. a new court filing revealed the details. bryan kohberger is charged with four counts of murder in the first degree. he had a plea of not guilty entered on his behalf. here's erin mclaughlin. >> reporter: new details in the idaho murders investigation. prosecutors now revealing a cheek swab taken from suspect bryan kohberger is a statistical match to dna found at the crime scene. kohberger is charged with stabbing and murdering four university of idaho students last year. the key piece of evidence, a knife sheath next to the bodies of kaylee goncalves and madison mogen. after taking a swab from kohberger himself, prosecutors now say the two dna profiles are a match. after a comparison of the dna profile of kohberger, and the

knife sheathe dna, prosecutors writing the same profile is, quote, at least 5.37 octillion times more likely to be seen if the defendant is the source than an unrelated individual. >> police department, search warrant, come to the door. >> reporter: the night kohberger was arrested at his parent's pennsylvania home in december, officers in washington state served a search warrant at his apartment. he was indicted by a grand jury last month. he chose to stand silent at his arraignment, prompting the judge to enter not guilty pleas on his behalf. the indictment charging kohberger with four counts of murder in the first degree, for the killing of ethan chapin, xana kernoodle, kaylee goncalves and mogen in their shared home. >> the family wants to move past this, as much as you can move past a case like this. >> reporter: kohberger faces trial october 2nd of this year. nbc news has reached out to kohberger's team overnight and has not heard back. back to you.

>> thank you. there is new fallout from the federal charges filed against president biden's son, hunter, and the plea deal that will allow him to avoid jail time. hunter biden is expected to plead guilty to two counts of failing to pay his taxes. he also faces a separate gun charge which is likely to be dropped. news of the deal is causing an uproar among republicans. they say the outcome of this case is unfair compared with the treatment of former president trump. >> if you were the president's leading political opponent and the doj tried to put you in jail and give you prison time. if you are the president's son, you get a sweetheart deal. >> reporter: joining us now is kayla tausche. how is the administration responding to these claims from some republicans that hunter biden is getting special treatment? >> quite simply, the white house is not responding. their longstanding opinion has

been to let the department of justice speak for itself and leave the questions to hunter biden's personal attorney. that attorney was on msnbc yesterday and he was asked specifically about the fairness of the investigation. here's how he responded. >> this was a five-year, very diligent investigation pursued by incredibly professional prosecutors. some of whom have been career prosecutors, one of whom at least was appointed by president trump. nobody has never said they're not competent, good, or diligent. i never heard anyone say that. it would be false to say that. this is the resolution that was come to after five years. >> the administration is not commenting officially beyond a very brief statement yesterday with the president and first lady saying they are proud of hunter biden for rebuilding his life. joe? >> republicans have been going after hunter biden for years. is this plea going to put an end to any congressional investigations or do republicans plan to keep looking into hunter biden? >> house republicans have

already vowed to enhance, in their words, the investigations that they have ongoing. their ability to do that will depend on the status of the investigation at the department of justice. if it's closed, as hunter biden's attorney has claimed, that means lawmakers can access associated records. if it remains open, as the u.s. attorney's statement suggests, then those records would remain private. house speaker kevin mccarthy accused the justice department of withholding documents and he called that unacceptable. joe? >> thank you very much. turning to financial news. apple is accused of trying to bust unions and titos is taking a stand against canned cocktails. >> morgan brennan has today's money minute. >> a u.s. labor board judge ruled that apple coercively interrogated employees at its new york store and stopped them

from flying a union flag. this is the first time a national labor board judge has ruled against apple. transcription ai chat otter is launching its new feature launching today. and titos releasing a $200 empty keg. the new stunt encourages consumers to create their own concoctions and join the fight against can-formity. >> can-formity and taking shots. >> i was at a relative's retirement party, they love titos and got so much, they will

never need a can cocktail. >> there you go. >> morgan brennan, thank you very much. coming up, unsubscribe. why the government is suing amazon over its prime service. and disturbing new data reveals how far behind kids are falling in math and reading. you are watching "nbc news daily."

amazon to court. in a complaint filed this morning, the federal trade commission sued the retail giant over what it calls manipulative tactics to enroll users in prime service and making it difficult to cancel. steve joins us now to dig into this. what does the ftc say is the problem here? >> yeah. they lay out an interesting case here saying basically when you go on amazon, you buy something, you check out, you might get that popup saying you can save on shipping and get these prime benefits if you click this button and sign up, you're a prime member, try the free trial, give it a go. they're also saying it doesn't make it clear that you can either have a free trial period that you then need to cancel and after you're locked into the subscription they make it difficult to cancel it after that. we all have those issues like canceling a gym membership. the ftc lawsuit alleges that they had a code name for this

project called project iliad based off the epic poem that we all read back in high school. they're saying millions of people were hoodwinked by this deceptive practice. >> hopefully not too people are canceling their gym memberships, but i imagine this is not great press for amazon. how are they responding to the suit? >> we just got a response within the last hour or so from amazon. they deny all the allegations. they say they're straightforward with the customers about what they're signing up for, when they're signing up f it and how much it costs. they accuse the ftc of filing this lawsuit without finishing discussions that the two sides were having internally. they're saying they're willing to take this to court and fight it all the way. they have settled other cases with the ftc before it could even make it that far in the process, sounds like they want to fight this through court. >> given all that, what would

that look like? could amazon end up having to put money in the pocket of customers in the forms of refunds? what does this look like? >> potentially, but those usually happen in class action lawsuits, so customers get together and sue amazon for something like this. i'm sure that could open up something like that, too. typically what happens in these cases, a fine and promises to change their practice if they're found guilty. that will be up to a judge to decide. >> time will tell on that. thank you very much for that. >> thanks. new data released today by the department of education shows record declines nationwide in math and reading scores for 13-year-olds. that includes the single largest drop in math scores in 50 years. lindsey reiser joins us now. we've seen declines in these scores for a while now. we were afraid that covid might accelerate some of that. what stands out from today's new report? >> teachers and administrators are calling this a wake-up call.

this was a survey of about 8,700 13-year-olds nationwide from october to december and the assessment they were given in reading and math. let's show you the scores. there was a four point drop for 13-year-olds in reading compared to the assessment four years ago. let's look at math. that saw a 9-point drop. that's the largest decline ever recorded, the worst levels since 1990. we're seeing black students declining at a higher rate for math, and the superintendent of the los angeles school district, the second largest school district in the country is saying this is just proving that there's a long-term impacts of the pandemic that are just now being realized. when you consider just showing up, absenteeism, we're seeing a doubling essentially from 2020 to 2023. 10% of students missing five days or more. when it comes to a love of reading, students who perform

better report higher incidences of reading every day for fun. only 14% reading every day for fun. that's a 3% drop from 2020 and a 13% drop from 2012. >> tough to see that kids are not reading for fun anymore. there are no easy solutions here. what is the department of education saying about this? are there any proposed solutions to try to put a dent in the numbers? >> miguel cardona is also saying, look, we know it will take years and investment to help. we were seeing a decline even before the pandemic. miguel cardona is saying they're seeing about 60% of the american rescue plan funds being used for a hiring more teachers, implementing tutoring programs. the national education association is saying that teachers have been waving this red flag for a very long time

now. they want to see more mental health support for teachers and students. they want classroom size addressed. they want to see programs like pe and art being saved. we've also talked to teachers as part of this reporting, we're hearing that they're saying they're finding their students are apathetic, they have small attention spans. these are also issues that need to be addressed. >> lindsey reiser, thank you very much. coming up, new statements from the judge in the alec murdaugh trial. you're watching "nbc news daily." tv: try tide power pods with 85% more tide in every pod. who needs that much more tide?

county. the crash was so severe the car split in two. nbc bay area kris sanchez is in dublin, more on the major questions about that crash that are still unanswered. >> reporter: a car crash with such violent force. it happened around 10:30 last night. in the video of the crash the vehicle is unrecognizable. we know now it was a bmw m3. the car split in half. each half engulfed in flames. we saw the coroner here at the scene and dublin police now confirm the 25-year-old man and another unidentified man died here at the scene. the investigation is ongoing at this point. but, dublin police believe speed was a factor according to national highway traffic safety administration, in 2021 speed was a factor in a third of

deadly crashes. the speed limit here on dougherty road is 45 miles per hour we've seen people driving much faster than that. kris sanchez. some people in south bay area taking matters into their own hands when it comes to fighting crime. several neighborhoods are buying their own license plate readers, the city had already funded seven other devices. now leaders have approved about two dozen more because six districts say they're going to cover the cost themselves. >> it's going to help with investigative leads. so far the success rate in how fast these deputies locate these stolen vehicles is pretty impressive. get them off the streets. >> these license plate readers are already being credited for nine arrests this year alone. the devices will be funded by residents through their property taxes. now here are some other stories. more reinforcements have been made to stop the millennium

tower from sinking in san francisco. but first a woman from berkeley fought off a would-be kidnapping. it happened just after 2:00 this morning on college avenue. a 21-year-old woman was riding a scooter when someone reached out and grabbed her. she thought she had hit someone when she was riding so she stopped to check on the person. but instead that person tried to abduct her. she was able to fight off the person and run away. cal tran is closing the off-ramp to treasure ramp. now instead of going to treasure island from that left lane we all know drivers will now get off at the lower deck of the bay bridge from the right lane. closure begins at 7:00 tomorrow morning finally, the nbc bay area investigative unit has learned that the leaning millennium tower in san francisco is now being reinforced. 18 piles have sent to two sides of that tower. they hope it will stop the tower from sinking any further and

maybe reverse some of its tilt. early signs are encouraging. but too soon to know if this will be a permanent fix. first day of summer, what does that mean for our summer. the answer in our forecast. we're finally in the middle of the week, in addition to that it's the first day of summer. great shot of san francisco. we woke up with the cloud cover. inland, lots of sunshine, temperatures in the upper 70s for some spots nearing the 80s. summer is here. the official welcome was at 7:57 a.m. we can expect to see some 70s today. but we do see the returning of some cooling. by the weekend, a warming trend. especially leading into sunday, san francisco's pride parade at 10:30, 60s with cloud cover early in the morning.

there continues to be steady stream of more ships, resources and technology heading out that way trying to find these individuals who are now believed to be trapped somewhere near the bottom of the ocean. here's some of what the ceo of the company had to say. take a listen. >> these are extremely professional crews, they are handling their responsibilities professionally and fully focused on finding the submersible and bringing those people back safely. >> they are playing a support role to the u.s. coast guard, the canadian coast guard and other ships here in the north atlantic trying to do what they can to find the team that's lost. that's their role. again, it was one of the first times -- perhaps the first time we heard from someone who has correct contact with the folks out there on the sea, and you could feel the stress, you could feel the tension and you could

feel the sense of hope in every word he said. >> ron, you're there in canada. what are you hearing from people there quickly about this search? >> again, here they're horrified by what they imagine to be the conditions that the team is in, but they remain hopeful as well. here's some of what they had to say. >> to be honest with you, nobody thinks too happily or optimistically unless they're really glass half full people. >> what they're going through is unthinkable right now. >> i'm feeling hopeful. it's a big ocean. it's scary, but i think people are doing what they can out there. >> it's dark, it's cold, who knows what the conditions are like down there, how horrible it probably is for them assuming they are still alive somewhere near the bottom of the ocean,

some 2 1/2 miles deep. again, here in this town, which is a seafaring town, they are keeping hope alive. an nbc news exclusive. the judge in one of the most closely watched trials in recent memory is speaking out. we all followed the case of alec murdaugh for the murders of his wife and youngest son. now in his first tv interview, the judge, clifton newman, sat down with "today" anchor, craig melvin. >> reporter: the trial grabbed headlines around the world. >> i'm alex murdaugh. >> alex murdaugh once head of a prominent south carolina legal dynasty, standing trial for the murders of his wife and son, and overseeing the high-profile case, judge clifton newman. were you surprised by the attention, the extent of it? >> probably shouldn't have been surprised, you know,

high-profile lawyer, death of a wife, death of a child, accusations of stealing millions of dollars from clients, allegations of a lawyer hooked on drugs. it had all the ingredients for something of major public interest. >> reporter: it all started on the night of june 7th, 2021 when alex murdaugh called police claiming he found his wife maggie and son paul shot to death on the family's country estate. >> what's your emergency? >> yes, i need the police and ambulance immediately. my wife and child have been shot badly. >> reporter: turns out that call was just one in a long series of lies exposed during murdaugh's six-week trial. >> i wanted to give them as much

accurate information as i could. >> reporter: lies about where he'd been the night his wife and son were killed. lies about a staged suicide attempt, admissions about drug abuse, and allegations of stealing millions of dollars from his clients. through it all, judge newman, widely seen as a calming presence and by the book jurist. in the end it took the jury less than three hours to convict murdaugh. were you surprised at all by the speed with which the jury came back with the verdict? >> i wasn't. my experience in recent years is that jurors don't take a long time deliberating after they've spent weeks and weeks and weeks listening to testimony and receiving evidence. >> reporter: last march judge newman sentenced murdaugh to two life sentences, while declaring he'd be forced to live with what he'd done.

>> within your own soul you have to deal with that. and i know you have to see paul and maggie during the nighttimes, when you're attempting to go to sleep. i'm sure they come and visit you. >> reporter: pretty powerful. >> yeah. >> reporter: do you think that he'll be haunted by his wife and son? >> well, i think so. it has to be. i cannot imagine him having a peaceful night knowing what he did. i'm sure if he had an opportunity to do it over again he'd never do it. >> reporter: judge newman's reserved demeanor on the bench drawing many admirers, his story made more impressive by where it started, in a segregated school in a small south carolina town, inspired by the landmark case brown versus the board of education. he went to law school, and became a prosecutor before becoming a judge in 2000. one of his daughters, jocelyn,

following in his footsteps is now a state judge too. so growing up, you would see dad in court in action. >> it was kind of scary. he was a good prosecutor. i would sit in the jury box and watch him at work. >> reporter: clifton newman plans to retire this fall as his legal career comes to a close he reflected on murdaugh, and his most high-profile case. >> felt sorry for him, felt that >> reporter: judge newman and her father talk often, they even share the same judge's chambers. so she had a front-row seat as he made headlines from the bench. >> i knew it was a big deal, it probably happened before that, just scrolling through instagram and seeing a "dateline" post about alex murdaugh was amazing. i'm pretty sure i took a screen shot of that and sent it around to the family. >> reporter: judge clifton newman plans to retire this

fall. as his legal career comes to a close, he reflected on murdaugh and his most high-profile case. >> felt sorry for him, felt that he was just in a position where he could not -- where if there's a hole that he could go into, he would dive in that hole and keep going to the lowest depths. i wasn't trying to pull him out of that hole, but i wanted to give him an opportunity to say something. craig melvin, nbc news. >> thank you very much. a federal judge in arkansas is striking down a law that banned gender affirming care for people under 18 years old. the judge said the law violated the constitutional rights of doctors and transgender people. the law stopped doctors from providing treatment to miners such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy and prevented them from recommending out of state providers. steven romo joins us now. this is the first time a judge has ever overturned this kind of law. what else did he say in this ruling? has there been backlash yet? >> this is the first time a federal court has taken a look

at one of these laws, and there was some pretty swift backlash on it. the state was arguing there was not enough evidence for these treatments saying that people may come to regret gender affirming treatments. judge james moody disagreed and said the state did not prove those things in court. in fact, he said that he was asking why only gender affirming medical care was singled out. so, the governor of arkansas, sarah huckabee sanders has said on twitter they're not through with this. they'll appeal this to the 8th circuit court of appeals to hope to overturn this ruling and all the other states with these laws that are either on the books are in the works are watching this closely. >> to that end, we have to talk about precedent. 19 other states have similar restrictions in place. how could the outcome of this case affect those laws? >> right now, this only affects arkansas. if it goes to the 8th circuit court of appeals and this ruling is upheld, all the other states that have these laws or these

laws that are in the works, it could have significance for them. this fight has been going on in arkansas since 2021. before 2020, there were no laws in these states that had anything to do with gender affirming care. all eyes are going to be on what happens if this is appealed. >> important reporting. steven romo, thank you. pride festivities are set to take place in a number of cities this weekend, that includes a giant parade in new york. it's not just big cities, north brookfield, massachusetts is a population just under 5,000. it will hold its first-ever pride celebration this saturday. that historic event has not been free from controversy. the town board opposed a drag show at that celebration calling it adult entertainment. after backlash, the town reversed course and reinstated the show but one of the drag performers says they are still encountering a lot of hate. >> what does this hate look like. >> it comes in all different

in today's modern parenting, body confidence can play a role in a child's self-esteem. studies show kids as young as 3 years old can have body image concerns. >> there are many things that influence how a child sees their body, especially entering the summer season. doctor, when should we start having the conversation with our children and how do we bring it up? >> so, my rule of thumb when having tough conversationsor ad when they're asking questions is when they're ready for answers. so, there's no specific age in mind because like you said children are showing signs of negative body image earlier and

earlier. when you're having these conversations, make sure you're asking more questions than you are talking. sometimes when we have these tough conversations as parents, we get ahead of ourselves, answer questions they have not asked. so you want to answer the question when they ask and to be mindful of what they're asking and answering just that. >> what is it that you're looking for? what are some signs that a child might be struggling with how they see themselves? >> some warning signs is when they're avoiding social events because of discomfort in their body. avoiding the pool party or the beach trip. also wearing bulky or warm clothes on a hot summer day because they don't want people to see their own body. you can imagine if a kid is willing to be physically hot, they must be uncomfortable in their own skin.

and lastly when they become critical of their own body or other folks. sometimes we think they're talking about other people, no big deal. but the more critical of others, the chances are they're more critical of themselves. >> i wonder, what can parents do to help instill a positive body image in their child, especially now that it is warm outside? >>. >> absolutely. there's lots of things to promote self confidence in their bodies. one of the main ones is focusing on what the body can do rather than how the body looks. that can be talking about how strong their legs are or how fast their bodies are. also engaging in regular movement. engaging in a ten-minute walk a day can have big impacts on a person's body image. you can also remind them that fat is not a feeling. oftentimes our body image and the way we feel about our body can be a catch-all for different emotions. you want to dig into what your

child might be feeling rather than staying on the surface with them staying uncomfortable in their own body. also take a healthier approach to food, and avoiding labels like good and bad, focusing more on what's nutritious and make sure they know all foods fit and they don't need to feel guilty about eating certain things. >> part of the worry is this can have a lasting impact on a child's mental health. what potential signs should parents be aware of? >> absolutely. negative body image can lead to depression, higher risk of eating disorders, more isolation, low self-esteem. make sure you're addressing this as soon as you see it. a negative body image is no small thing. >> how can parents model a positive body image? >> you can wear that bathing suit, avoid the cover-up, and

that it's more important to enjoy the experience rather than avoiding the body. avoid commenting on my legs are too chubby or my tummy is too big and make it off limits to talk about other people's bodies in a negative light. >> i've heard it said bodies are for living not looking. >> that's a great expression. doctor, thank you for joining us. we appreciate your expertise. there is more news ahead. >> you're watching "nbc news daily." ♪♪♪
