sitting pretty. scooter wins hearts and the coveted title of world's ugliest dog. >> scooter, you're going to new york! >> and he's here live to celebrate his crowning moment. today, monday, june 26th, 2023. from nbc news, this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. hi, everybody. good morning. nice to have you with us, 7 a.m. we have more on storm systems that have spawned tornadoes on the move, impacting flights to and from the west coast. more than 30 million people are on alert. we'll begin with the near rebellion in russia. mercenaries for the wagner group over the weekend threatened to overthrow parts of vladimir putin's government.

>> nato is now weighing in saying the attempted mutiny, quote, demonstrates that moscow committed a strategic mistake by waging war in ukraine. >> we did see putin for first time overnight. new details emerging about what the u.s. knew and when about this rebellion. in a moment, we will talk to the former ambassador to russia. we'll talk to keir simmons who made his way to moscow this morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. it is surreal to stand here above the streets of moscow and see just how normal life looks this morning after a rebellion that rocked russia and almost threatened this city. overnight, we learned that president biden spoke to president volodymyr zelenskyy. but both men were left to watch this weekend's events from the sidelines. reasserting authority or trying to, this morning new video of russia's defense minister, the man who faced a

mutiny this weekend. pictured overseeing the ukraine operation. he also controls russia's nuclear arsenal. the row is mute and doesn't say when it was filmed. other images have not been widely broadcast here. russians cheering for the leader of this weekend's aborted rebellion, even taking selfies with yevgeny prigozhin. his insurrection bringing them to the brink of chaos, his mercenary troops closing in on the capital of moscow before an unprecedented deal with president putin brokered by the president of belarus. apparently allowing the man behind the insurrection to go unpunished and into exile. overnight russian tv commentators declaring a senseless massacre was avoided with maturity. beijing saying it supports russia maintaining national stability. while the u.s. and ukraine

sensing weakness at the heart of the kremlin. >> we have seen more cracks emerge. it is too soon to tell exactly where they go. >> reporter: some commentators in russia calling for the mutually leaders to be punished, even executed. pointing to president putin's reputation for not easily forgiving betrayal. >> prigozhin kept his life but lost his wagner group, and he should be very careful around open windows in his new surroundings in belarus. >> reporter: all that's left occupied by the rebel group for less than a day. tank tracks and questions. "how can one in a situation where we are in conflict with another country have an internal war as well, this man says. vladimir putin's power challenged like never before. on saturday, the president called it a stab in the back. how will he and russia respond

now? so far there seems no change on the front lines. ukraine saying russia fired more missiles and drones overnight. nbc news learned that they were aware that prigozhin was planning a challenge to the russian military leadership, but as to what happens now, frankly, that's anyone's guess. >> absolutely. >> let's get more perspective from the former u.s. ambassador to russia. michael mcfall, nbc news analyst. mr. ambassador, my question is simple. what just happened? >> well, a set of extraordinary events, the greatest challenge to vladimir putin's rule since he took over in 2007. prigozhin, this private army fighting in ukraine suddenly decided that the leaders of the russian armed forces were not doing a good job, and he wanted to march to moscow to overthrow them to

support putin, not to overthrow putin. and along the way, he got cold feet and they did a deal. what happens next i agree, it's still too soon to know what the final implications of this -- this attempted coup, this attempted mutiny will be for vladimir putin. >> isn't there a mystery about this deal? here he's on his way marching towards moscow and suddenly says, it's fine. we'll deescalate. and now he's going to belarus, which is a russian satellite state. does it seem like there's more there there that we aren't privy to? >> oh, there certainly is. there is lots of rumors about the details. i'm not sure he will be allowed to retire in belarus. i can imagine a bunch of other scenarios for him.

but i think both sides blinked. that's important to understand, too. putin, after mr. prigozhin announced he was going to moscow, got on national tv and told all his citizens that this is a betrayal, a stab in the back. it sounded like it was going to be a major crushing of this mercenary group. but instead, he did not back -- did not escalate. he cut this deal to avoid bloodshed. both prigozhin and putin, i think, are the losers in this conflict and most certain putin today, 48 hours later, looks a lot weaker than he did just before. >> and this group, this wagner group, which is this brutal band of mercenaries who were fighting in ukraine and fairly effective, how does this now effect the war in ukraine? >> well, immediately i don't think very much. they had already pulled back, the wagner group. they were in ukraine, but they were no longer fighting. but in the long-term, think about it. if you are a soldier sitting in

the trenches of ukraine fighting not successfully and you are listening to all this fighting amongst the commanders, you are listening to prigozhin saying you were lied to to go fight this war, i have to believe the morale of those soldiers is not robust right now. i think this will be a much harder war for putin in ukraine. and, secondly, this is all from the war in ukraine. i think that's really important to understand. had putin not invaded ukraine, you wouldn't be having this war in russia. the longer it goes on, the more likelihood, you will have similar breakdowns like we had this weekend. >> thank you. appreciate your perspective. also this morning, communities across the country are recovering after a weekend of severe weather, including damaging tornadoes and

sweltering heat. hundreds of thousands of people without power to start this week off. al is standing by with his full forecast. but, first, priscilla thompson is in houston. the temperatures are still soaring there. good morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning. in just a few hours, this splash pad will be filled with kids looking to get relief from the 100 degree temperatures we're expecting to see here in houston this week. it marks a third week of a historic heat wave battering millions across the south. this morning terrifying tornadoes and sweltering summer heat combining for a brutal one-two punch of wild weather. >> i don't think we're done climbing on temperature. >> reporter: temperatures across the south hitting triple digits. baking some hard-hit communities for the third straight week. tens of millions facing even more heat alerts in the coming days. >> this year it feels hotter than regular.

>> reporter: in sweltering southwest texas, the national park service says a 14-year-old boy got sick and died while hiking. temperatures in big bend national park hit nearly 120 degrees. the boy's stepfather rushed to find help and was found dead, officials say, after his car crashed over an embankment. both deaths remain under investigation. as southerners hope for relief from the heat, the midwest is reeling from another round of dangerous twisters. communities in minnesota and indiana hit by multiple tornadoes. residents forced to take over. >> slammed the door at the last minute, locked it, and jumped over my little boy in the bathtub. >> reporter: and in florida, the terrifying moments a fast moving storm swept aboard a cruise

ship leaving port canaveral. luckily the cruise line says there were no serious injuries, and the ship set sail as scheduled. as this summer of severe weather shows no signs of slowing down. right now there are around 450,000 people without power throughout the country. in texas we aren't seeing any major outages here in texas. but the power grid operator here has issued a weather watch saying they are expecting record high demand this week. they are saying they do believe they will be able to handle that demand. but i will tell you already it is 82 degrees out here right now. so it is going to get very hot. i might need to take another pass through the water before things get going here. >> that splash park will get a lot of work today. thank you so much. we have al tracking the dangerous heat today and these dangerous storm threats. >> good morning to you. we are looking at severe weather developing. we have basically this stagnant system. low

pressure over the great lakes. so the heat wave will continue, but we have this severe threat that the most damaging situation happening right now. we're looking at showers and thunderstorms rotating through the great lakes. severe storms through the lower gulf, severe warnings, i should say severe thunderstorm warnings. tonight an advancing cold front will be advancing from upstate new york all the way to the carolinas. for tonight we have the enhanced risk of severe storms. we are looking at tornadoes, damaging hail, winds possible. tomorrow additional bands of storm will develop. that threat goes from new england all the way to the carolinas with this marginal risk. strong wind gusts, few tornadoes possible and some heavy rain by wednesday. we're talking about upwards of four inches of rain from pennsylvania all the way to new england. as you heard from priscilla, from the southwest to the panhandle of florida, 33 million people impacted by heat warnings, heat advisories. we will look at this in detail

coming up in the next half hour. >> thank you so much. it is 7:13. we welcome craig to the desk. >> good morning to you as well. a full investigation into the cause of that sub disaster near the site of the titanic is now underway. officials trying to figure out what went wrong that led to the deaths of all five people on board. we have more on that story. good morning. >> reporter: craig, good morning to you. the u.s. coast guard is leading that investigation into what they are calling a major marine casualty. the ntsb also investigating as the submersible's experimental design is growing under scrutiny with the multinational inquiry under way, this morning the u.s. coast guard says it is convening a marine board of investigation, its highest investigative body, to figure out what caused the deep sea disaster involving the "titanic" touring

submersible "titan." >> the board will first and primarily work to determine the cause of this marine casualty and the five associated deaths it can make recommendations to the proper authorities to pursue civil or criminal sanctions as necessary. >> reporter: authorities say they're reviewing data and voice recorders from the mother ship which chartered the sub to the launch point and conducting interviews with crew members research services who helped in the research effort sharing these images of its remotely operated service, calling the "titan" recovery mission remarkably difficult and risky now they are focussing on the carbon fiber hull. amid allegations tha its owner, who was among the five killed, apparently ignored repeated warnings about the vessel the company, which is closed indefinitely, says they have no additional information to share at this time. >> they didn't have any governmental bodies overseeing

what they're doing. >> reporter: the mother of the teenager who died with his father opening up overnight saying she was originally supposed to be in the sub instead of her son. >> it was supposed to be shahzada and i going down. and then i stepped back and gave the space to suleman because he really wanted to go. >> reporter: remembers her last moments with them. >> we hugged and joked, actually, because shahzada was so excited to go down. he was like a little child i miss them. i really, really miss them >> oh. and investigating officials say there were 41 people onboard the support ship when it set sail on june 18th, including some family members of the victims interviews with those onboard are already underway by authorities. the u.s. coast guard says a key goal is making recommendations to improve safety on the water worldwide. >> lots of eyes on this

investigation. >> absolutely. 7:16 let's check in with mr. roker again. >> all right, guys we're looking at, again, some showers and thunderstorms really firing up in the northeast severe storms along the southeast and atlantic coast we will look more in depth at this heat. it will stretch into next week through the south. pleasant as you get into the mid-plains a few showers, dry along the west coast we're going to get to your local forecast in the e next 30 sesec. bye, u uncle limu.u. ♪ stay o off the frereeways! only pay for w what you need. ♪ libererty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> as to counts 2, 3, 4 and 5, murder in the first degree -- >> reporter: a legal battle over evidence playing out between bryan kohberger, working to clear his name in the murder of four university of idaho students, and the state, fighting to prove his guilt. in new court documents, bryan kohberger's attorneys accusing the state of trying to hide the kay by seeking information about the genetic genealogy investigation they say led to kohberger. >> the state is using a relatively new kind of dna technology this is exactly the kind of thing the defense will argue they need because if this is emerging technology, they need all the facts they can if they are going to challenge it. >> reporter: in a court filing earlier this month, prosecutors said that his dna is a statistical match. it was found on the knife sheath at the scene in the filing, his lawyer said two additional males' dna wa found within the house, as well as an unknown male's dna on a

glove found inside the house days after the murder, also writing that the police were investigating many suspects, adding that many of them provided dna and at least one had his dna taken from a discarded cigarette. the judge entered a not guilty plea for bryan kohberger after he opted to stay silent at his arraignment. he's accused of murdering the four students as they slept in an off campus home in moscow, idaho on march 13th an expansive gag order blanketed the case since january, challenged by the media and one of the victim's family's lawyers. the judge allowed attorneys in the case to comment on matters like scheduling and correcting misinformation about their clients. tomorrow both sides will face-off in court again as bryan kohberger's lawyers argue for the release of materials they say they need to defend the suspected killer bryan kohberger's lawyer also went even further in the court

dna at the scene what do you make of that >> that can't be surprising. it is a college student house. i would be surprised if there were no other male dna there now, the defense team, what they're saying is, how did you zero in on our client? we want to understand that process, but they will get that remember, this is just discovery. they will find out all of the testing and all of the ways in which they decided to zero in on him. there isn't just dna dna is compelling to everyone, bu they also have surveillance video. you know, white elantra chasing away from the scene at a high speed. they have cell phone pinged towers close to the house. people with focused on the dna, but there is more to this picture. >> what's next now >> now, there's going to be a hearin tomorrow because they want more grand jury minutes they're not in the grand jury, that's between the prosecutors so now they will get some more of that discovery, and we're going to learn more and more as the weeks come out. >> laura, thank you very much.

know when it is for diabetes, it has been studied but for weight loss, slowing down the stomach to make you feel full longer, what are the long-term implications of that i want to point out the studies have looked at people who are obese or significantly overweight with a weight-related condition. this has not been studied on people who want to lose ten pounds before their wedding in a month. so the fact that the pills especially will open it up to so many more people, we will see more people using it for not necessarily the direct indicator. >> are there plans to study that because it's clearly how people are using the drug >> absolutely, yeah. people are using it off label, doctors are prescribing it not necessarily for those stricter conditions we are going to see more research on that as well. >> what about a time line on these pills? >> yeah. novartis i can never say that word. they are actually looking for approval later this year, so that's pretty close. some of the other ones are doing

larger trials. we won't see until next year at the earliest >> all right, dr. raj. we appreciate it good to see you. >> let us head over to al. >> a lot of people will be losing weight down south because they will be sweating it out we are talking 33 million people from the southwest to the panhandle of florida to heat advisories this heat dome parked itself over west texas and no relief in sight right now. feels-like temperatures, 111 in new orleans 110 in meridian. 111 in houston 109 in abilene, texas, and san antonio. these are air temperatures through the end of the week. dallas triple digits, same in tulsa. 101 in memphis by thursday, upper 90s through new orleans. midland into the triple digits albuquerque, new mexico high 90s. and into next week, into july 4th, warmer than average temperatures from texas all the way into florida we will be watching this closely.
