hello, everyone. i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now.

today, thursday, july 6th, 2023. summer sizzle. sweltering heat baking millions from the southwest to the northeast. the pacific northwest finally getting a little bit of a break. when will the rest of the country? -- moms being targeted by thieves in broad daylight in san francisco. common threads, facebook's parent company takes on twitter with its new app and tens of millions of users have already signed up, some calling it the twitter-killer. plus, medical breakthrough. the first alzheimer's drug gets ready for full fda approval. the new hope it's offering to millions of americans. hello, everyone. we begin this hour with something you're probably dealing with right now. >> we're talking about the brutal heat that's left americans sweltering for days. we hit a very serious milestone

yesterday, wednesday marked the third straight day of record high temperature for the entire globe. 29 million americans are under heat alerts in the parts of florida. some relief in pacific northwest where the sizzling temperatures we're still tracking the threat of severe thunderstorms as well, like this one last night in chicago, great plains are at risk today. keeping a close eye on south dakota, colorado and wyoming. >> meteorologist bill karins is tracking how long these high temperatures will stick around. >> priscilla, how are people coping? >> it's been raining all day today. the kids were out trying to cool

off, now the rain is sort of helping with that. across the country, in the southwest, and now the northeast, they're now dealing with the extreme and excessive heat that we have been seeing in much of texas and louisiana and other parts of the south with places like tucson, phoenix and the grand canyon expected to see really high temperatures under excessive heat warnings today and of course we know that that heat can be dangerous in june there were more than a dozen people who died from heat-related illnesses. this week ahone, two people have died. one man in his 50s at death valley where officials said it was 126 degrees and that he died because of a heat-related illness. a woman in her 50s hiking the grand canyon earlier this week and tragically died. so important that people are mindful of that. drinking water, wearing

sunscreen, not doing excessive exercise in this really debilitating temperatures. it's very concerning because we're pushing ecosystems to our limit. >> let's go to meteorologist bill karins, it's disturbing when you think about the heat worldwide, any break coming for the u.s.? >> two different pieces to this. we have the climate angle of it we're heading into a strong el nino, we'll break records. we know a strong el ni in, o is going to equal that. we have the weather piece, where it's still very hot, it's july, a typical summer weather pattern, humidity levels are very high. this dew point measures how

comfortable the air is. above 70s it's oppressive. from texas to the north coast, one in southern canada that's unusual, very uncomfortable air that's well north and widespread, too, the temperatures won't change that much in july, we're at our peak month, in the lower 48, but the temperatures the heat index is what will change. 101 in little rock, burlington, vermont, coming in at 97. the northern plains have a break and the west coast is also not humid but it will get hotter for all our friends in arizona. it looks next week it will be hotter. in the middle of heat wave you may be wondering how hot is too hot. >> new research shedding light when exactly you should avoid the outdoors, according to the study the human body may stop

functioning when the mercury hits between 104 and 122 degrees fahrenheit, this could cause a condition known as heat stress. your core temperature can go up and that can lead to confusion, nausea, dizziness, headache or fainting. we'll turn now to washington the white house is trying to get back to business today. president biden is in south carolina promoting his administration's push to get private companies to invest in clean energy. but questions about that small bag of cocaine discovered inside the west wing. allie rafri is traveling with the president in south carolina. what's happening at the white house as they investigate how these drugs got inside, what more do we know in. >> reporter: sources familiar with this investigation are telling my colleague kelly o'donnell so more clarification

on where exactly this bag was discovered and how long they expect this investigation to last the original thinking this was baggie was discovered in lobby of the west wing. they're clarifying this that it was found near a cubbie near a west wing entrance one floor belowe the west wing, the oval office, this is a secure but highly trafficked area. white house staff as well as members of the public given these west wing tours are given access where they'll allowed to leave items. as they comb through visitors logs and surveillance footage they're realizing this bag is so small it may not be detectable in that video. we heard the press secretary say

yesterday that the president has been briefed and he's determined to get to the bottom of this situation. if your phone has been buzzing today and sending you alerts, well, this might be the reason why. >> a new social media app just launched and it's being called the twitter-kirt. meta just launched threads. you can use your instagram user names and if your friends are on the app you can follow them right away. >> threads is text based but you can still post photos and videos. meta ceo zuckerberg said it already has 30 million people signed up and climbing. threads is a long list of competitors launched. let's bring in julia boorstein.

how is the launch going. we're on the app. how is the reception? >> it seems like it's off to a very strong start. instagram makes it easy for someone who has a profile to import their profile ago and get their threads app off the ground. you can use who you're already following on instagram. that's one reason we have seen 30 million followers of this morning, i expect the numbers to continue to grow as people check it out. i think the real question, how are people using this? are they using it in the same way they use instagram, but news or politics the way twitter usually is. >> no advertisements yet. >> not yet.

>> when does that change in. >> it's clear that this is going to be an ad-supported platform. a long history of building up businesses up first, they build up the audience for the product and then they bring in ads later, this is something that we have seen going back to instagram and way they treat ads in the likes of reels on instagram or facebook. it could be months if not a year before they fully revamp up their. >> the european union hasn't offered threads. why is that? >> so, look, threads is being offered in over a hundred different countries, but not in the eu and that's because of privacy regulations in the eu,

it's a different regulatory situation there and it seems like meta is making sure that it can fully operate this and make sure they're compliant before they bring this app over there. >> we'll see how it pans out. wonder how elon feels about it. honda is issuing a major recall. here's cnbc's today minute. >> honda and acura are recalling 124,000 vehicles for a problem with the brakes. honda said it received a brake failure report in 2021 which launched the investigation, there's been no crashes or injuries related to the issue. jetblue is ending its partnership with american airlines. the partnership had allowed

companies to compete with bigger airlines. jetblue won't challenge the ruling and focus on its acquisition of spirit airlines. ihop adding pancake tacos to its menu. these one of a kind treats will be available across the u.s. maybe you call it the new spin on a breakfast taco. >> it's just a pancake dressed up to look like a taco. >> it's portable breakfast, right, with a pancake involved. >> there's an ihop right around the corner from my house. morgan brennan thank you. why experts say the rise of shark sightings should not keep shark sightings should not keep you enjoying the

protesters are calling for a los angeles county sheriff's deputy to be fired after video show him throwing a woman to the ground outside a grocery store. activists rallied out that store before marching through the aisles to protest come after video was released.

warning, the video is disstressing. what else are we hearing from those protesters today. >> reporter: frustration and anner from a community that doesn't want to deal with this, seen that video and was pretty horrified by what they saw. primarily though, as you mentioned they want those deputies that are involved in that video fired -- not off the street, they want them not to be serving under the umbrella of law enforcement especially in their communities. that's what their message has been and the message to the sheriff who said he's doing everything he can as far as a full-throated investigation to get to the bottom. no matter what happened criminally with the couple or is what they saw in that video was horrifying enough that they shouldn't be on the street anymore. >> you reported on this for us yetd, i know now the los angeles

county sheriff spoke public about this incident for the first time. >> reporter: sheriff luna was introducing the idea of an internal investigation that is now under way, it will use all of the available video, all the witness testimony that was on scene, they're just trying to get to the bottom of the use of force from these deputies constituted anything worth using he also clarifyd that he watched the video and he called it really disturbing. listen to what he said. >> it's disturbing. there's no ifs or buts about it. objectively to determine if the force was reasonable, if it was necessary, if it was appropriate. >> reporter: so the man and the woman aren't being named pending this investigation which is expected to last the next 45 days.

shore where a friend and another beach goer helped him until medics arrived. he's using a scooter to get around as his foot heals. we don't go out too far. because i know they're coming close. >> reporter: a photographer with our palm beach station caught this shark swimming just offshore. experts say increased shark sightings this time of year are normal in large part because more people are in the water. >> there are sharks in the ocean, the ocean is their home. the ocean is a wild place. it's not a swimming pool. >> reporter: the chief scientist at a nonprofit that tags and tracks hundreds of sharks, along with shark populations starting to rebound in recent years, it

seems shark encounters are happening more because of social media. >> everybody understands the difference between a dog bite and a dog attack, a shark attack, though, which implies that the shark is really trying to kill and feed on the person that's so incredibly rare. >> reporter: back on long island, peter won't let his injury prevent him from getting back on his board. >> very excited to go back. >> so glad he's okay. coming up, what's next for the company behind the titanic submersible tragedy. submersible tragedy. you' watchingre moving f forward witith node- positiveve breast cacancer is oveverwhelming.g. but i nenever just f found my ; i mamade it. and d did all i i could to preventnt recurrencnce. verzenenio reduceses the risk of rececurrence ofof hr-positi, her2-negatative, nonode-positivive, early breast cancer with a high chance of returningng, as d determined d by your dodr whwhen added t to hormone e th.

held later this year. nauta finally arraigned today, third time's the charm. >> garrett, we're also learning a lot of new information about the justice department's justification for actually raiding former president donald trump's florida estate last august, what are the details there. >> reporter: the result of lawsuit filed by a bunch of media organizations including nbc news to get our hands on a less redacted version but not spirely redacted affidavit. the new information is the relevance of these security cameras, the fbi prior to this had gotten a warrant, the surveillance video of some areas of mar-a-lago including the storage areas where boxes were kept. surveillance video of nauta going into the room and coming out with some 60 boxes only returning about 30.

the doj started pressing more aggressively for the search that ended up turning up these additional classified documents. >> all right, garrett with the lastest from washington, thank you so much. there are new questions about the whereabouts of the russian mercenary leader behind a brief rebellion inside russia. yevgeny prigozhin, two weeks ago he and his troops left the front lines if from the war in ukraine and marched into russia, came within a few hundred miles of the russian capital. prigozhin and his forces suddenly stopped. today the president of belarus said that prigozhin and his fighters aren't in that country, instead are still in russia. joining us now is keir simmons, also with us is josh lederman keir, you had a really rare

opportunity to go to that country, to belarus, and talk to the president, what more did he say? >> reporter: we're seeing two things, kate, i think we're seeing the autocratic leader of belarus here distancing himself for prigozhin and the rush is shan media looking to discredit prigozhin. some of these photos overnight. not verified by nbc news. evidence of a police raid on prigozhin's house in st. petersburg, dollars piled up. private helilicopter. insiside swimmingg pool. wigs apparently for disguise. that all put on russian media suggesting that prigozhin has led this kind of charmed life. and then on the other hand, we were invited here to belarus as you mentioned, one of the few international news organization to the presidential palace to be

told he's not here in belarus that he would be here, that he's a free man in russia and he may never come here as you can imagine that was surprising and i ask the leader of belarus, you know, how can that be? >> all is foriven, is that what we're saying? >> putin told us directly about that, his money, his belongings and so on were returned to him and his weapons. i think. i know the case everything was returned to him. >> reporter: i think it's definitely isn't over, kate. what happens next is a different question. multiple channels digging into prigozhin's criminal history. >> so interesting, keir, glad you got that access there. josh, let me bring you in, exclusive reporting about secret

talks between former u.s. officials and prominent russians all trying to bring an end to the war in ukraine. can what can you tell us? >> reporter: not a surprise that there have been very high-level talks between the u.s. and russian governments about ukraine recently, even fewer if any between the ukrainian and russian governments. and so this while it's not a substitute for peace talks it's an effort by former u.s. officials to keep the channels of communication open with the russians, to start to the test the waters, solutions for some of the thorniest issues with what happened to ukrainian territory that russia has long held that may be difficult or impossible for the ukrainians to ever liberate, included a high-level secret meeting that russian former minister lavrov held in april in new york with several former u.s. white house and state department officials -- we're told other americans have also been speaking with

think tank leaders, academics in russia, the biden administration being kept updated by these american officials about their discussions with the russians. >> thank you both. really appreciate it here in the u.s., harvard medical school is now getting hit with multiple lawsuits after federal prosecutors said its former management trafficked human remains on the black market. >> my parents were in law enforcement. >> reporter: she said her parents were known in the community for the helped those in need, even after death they wanted to donate their bodies to medical research. >> they wanted to donate back to science to help, you know, the students to find and cure diseases. >> reporter: she was shocked to find out that someone possibly had tampered with her father's

clinical trial and here's what they told me. >> doctors have been saying it's not a cure, ann. >> correct. >> it's not. we know that. it's not going to go away the disease is here, but i think of it as like of cancer can kill you but we can hold that at bay with medicines and treatments and now it's kind of feels like they're doing that with alzheimer's. >> they were so excited about this trial that he's been in, they said he's had very little cognitive decline. >> so this drug targets the protein in the brain which is long thought by scientists to play a role in this disease. people who got the drug, experienced 27% slowing of the disease. compared to those who got a placebo. it didn't reverse the disease.

be any out of pocket expenses. >> if you're not on medicare or 50-something with early onset. >> that could be an issue, things they need to iron out to make sure it's successful for need it. >> the biggest side effect is brain swelling or brain bleeding. 14% of trial participants had serious sides effects. something to definitely consider. >> absolutely. thank you guys both so much more reporting on this new alzheimer's drug tonight on "nightly news." you're watching "nbc news dail. y" type 2 diaiabetes? discoverer the ozempmpic® trtri-zone. inin my ozempipic® tri-z-zo, i lowewered my a1c1c, cv ris, and lostst some weigight. in stutudies, thee majoririty of peopople reached anan a1c underer 7 and d maintaineded it. ozempipic® lowerers the risk of major c cardiovascucular evs susuch as stroroke, heart t at, or deathth in adultsts
