now. ♪ ♪ today friday, july 7th, 2023. sweating it out. stifling heat, smoggie air and dangerous storms threaten millions from coast to coast. we are tracking where it is all headed this weekend and what it could mean for travelers. solid job. the latest job report shows the american workforce looking pretty good. what it means for your bottom line including the fed's decision on interest rates. special delivery. the u.s. announces it will send so-called cluster bombs to ukraine. why now and how they could change thehe battle o on the fr linene. a and summer b burnout. fromom backyardd barbecueses to family vacations, the season can feel overwhelming. we will tell you how to ditch the stress and enjoy fun in the sun. speaking of fun in the sun. >> fun in the sun, yes. >> we're going to talk about the brutally high temperatures. it is what hat been a record-breaking week of heat. 14 million people across the southwest are battling scorching
12:02 pm
temps. southern arizona has extended its excessive heat warning through next thursday. it has been especially hot in el paso, texas. today marks the 22nd straight day of triple-digit temperatures. the city will likely break its record of 23 days in a row this weekend. >> in addition to all of that heat, severe storms could impact the weekend. roughly 8 million people in the central plains are at risk today, but the threat grows east saturday and sunday. we will begin with nbc's marissa parra to talk a little bit about the heat. marissa, besides it being a record-breaking week of heat it has also been very dangerous. what should people know about these conditions? >> reporter: yeah, i mean you mentioned it yourself, just how dangerous it can get. we have seen what we believe to be at least three heat-related deaths across the country this week. we look at arizona for instance. we saw two rescues, two hikers who needed to be rescued as a result of heat-related stress. arizona, specifically tucson, specifically phoenix, they're seeing extreme temperatures of
12:03 pm
upwards of 110 degrees. you are looking at one of those rescues happening just within the last couple of days here. but then when we talk about the three heat-related deaths, we know two were as a result of people being left inside of their cars without air conditioning. another was a different hiker that was a 57-year-old woman who died while hiking in the grand canyon. again, just lots of conditions that people need to be aware of and need to make sure that they're hydrating, make sure they're in a place that has proper air conditioning. but then when we talk about other threats as a result of the heat, remember, heat and humidity make the perfect cocktail for storms. i know bill karins is going to be talking about some storm concerns in places like colorado, kansas, oklahoma, texas, where there's threats of not just winds and hail but even possible tornado concerns. that's going to move over more to the east, and i know he will talk about that at length. but just remember, if you are outside, remember to stay cool, how you have to, and zinhle and
12:04 pm
ellison, as we have been standing out here we have our fans, we are prepped and the way i see it is if you see me looking a little dewy, dewy is in. it is sweat but we can pretend we're fashionable. >> no one has to know it is sweat. it is dew. >> we are all there with you at this point. every day to and front work, i'm immediately sweat. it is a battle. >> meteorologist bill karins, help us figure it out. how is the weekend forecast looking. do we need to keep the weekend fans out? >> it is a healthy glow. it is good for you to get the pores cleansed. a lot of people are doing it all summer long. miami feels like 108. miami doesn't get heat excess of 110 very rarely. i think the record is like 112. typically they get the sea breeze. right now the wind is blowing across the peninsula and they're not seeing much of a sea breeze at all. in other areas in the west are dealing with a completely different type of heat. it is hot but it is not humid like it is there in south florida. so the areas of greatest concern where we still have the warning
12:05 pm
up is from tucson into the phoenix area. that's where we are going to peak out today like the last couple of days, somewhere between 110 and 112. the problem is that it is just day after day. there's no end in sight. if anything, it is going to get worse next week, probably peaking maybe wednesday or thursday, and then we may even continue into next weekend. so phoenix, saturday, 112. sunday, 112. monday, 112. here is the outlook for all of next week into the weekend after this upcoming one. the whole southern half of the country, and the heat really expands into areas of california, nevada, new mexico. so we're going to see temperatures -- whenever you have a lot of heat at especially the hottest time of year that's above average, you will be close to some record highs and maybe even some all-time record highs. phoenix on wednesday, 117. thursday, 116. 116 on friday. the hottest temperature ever recorded in phoenix is 122 degrees. i'm not saying we will get to that point, but at least we are going to be in the ballpark. so we're going to talk a lot more about this hot weather for many days to come.
12:06 pm
>> all right. bill karins and marissa parra, thank you both. >> thanks so much. we are following breaking news out of texas. the gunman that carried out a deadly mass shooting at an el paso walmart in 2019 has been sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences in prison. patrick cruces pled guilty to the attack where he murdered 23 people. prosecutors say he targeted latino shoppers at the wal-mart and wrote a manifesto filled with anti-hispanic rhetoric. guad venegas is following this story for us. can you walk us through what happened in court today? >> this was the third day of the sentening hearing. the first two days we heard the victim impact statements. those that lost loved ones got a chance to speak in court directly to the shooter. today the judge read the 90 charges that patrick cruces pled guilty to and then there was an opportunity for the defense attorney to speak. he decided not to speak during this hearing, but his attorney
12:07 pm
did speak and say that he accepted this sentence, the 90 consecutive life sentences. he also said his client understands the damage he has caused to the community, and the defense attorney added that he hopes that his client gets mental health treatment because he says he has a broken brain. also, the prosecutor spoke today, saying they offered an apology to the mexican government for the mexican nationals that were killed as well as to the german government because there was also a german national that was a victim of the shooting. and then the judge, of course, handed down that sentence of 90 consecutive life sentences with the victims, family members and loved ones in the courtroom getting very emotional. >> guad, so many lives were lost. we see the faces on our screen right now. have we heard any reaction from the families of the victims? >> we have. zinhle, we have been getting reaction from the family members throughout the hearing that began on wednesday.
12:08 pm
we heard from them yesterday, and today after this sentence was handed down by the judge we heard from one who spoke to us on camera, essentially sharing his feelings that no punishment is enough. here is that family member speaking on camera. >> reporter: you're not satisfied with 90 consecutive life sentences? >> no. >> reporter: why not? >> you know, to be honest with you, i'm not going to really go through right now with how i really feel. i just don't think that 90 consecutive life sentences is enough right now. >> of course, there's still a separate trial set to begin. this is a state trial for state charges for which a district attorney's office is asking for a death penalty for the shooter, zinhle. >> we know you will stay on that one, guad venegas. thank you. we have an update on the mass shooting that took place at a block party in baltimore on sunday that killed two people and injured 28 ots.
12:09 pm
police have now confirmed they have a suspect in custody. nbc news reporter gary rumbach joins us with more. what do we know about the suspect, is it just one or are they looking for others? >> right now it is just one but we know a search warrant was executed on a baltimore area home around 7:00 this morning. it was a joint effort between the city's homicide detectives and a swat team. that's when police took a 17-year-old male into custody. they say he was involved in the mass shooting in south baltimore over the 4th of july holiday, and this 17 year old who police are not naming because he is a minor has been charged with possession of a firearm by a minor, assault weapon possession, reckless endangerment and having a handgun in his vehicle. now, police have previously said that there were multiple weapons used because they found multiple shell casings at the scene. there are several open questions here including how exactly this individual was involved, whether he knew anyone at the party, and if this party which nbc news has
12:10 pm
learned is an annual event was specifically targeted. ellison. >> can you break down some of those outstanding questions that still exist here? do we think that the police are in the very early stages of their investigation here or are they sort of close to an end point? >> well, i think they're still in the early stages because it is important to point out the charges i just mentioned, they're all possession related as it relates to the weapon. nothing related to the actual shooting itself. so it is clear police are still very much investigating the details of the who, what, when, where, why here, but now they have one suspect in custody and investigators will likely interview him as they have with the 28 surviving victims to learn more about who may have been involved other than this one individual. as of this afternoon, three of the shooting victims remain in baltimore area hospitals and there's currently a $28,000 reward put up by crime stoppers for any information that leads to further arrests or charges. ellison. >> gary grumbach, thank you so much for that. thank you for that up date on the victims. we appreciate it. turning now to financial

welcome back. new data released by the labor department this morning shows signs the job market is starting to cool. employers added 209,000 jobs last month. that is the lowest monthly gain since december 2020 and just under economists' estimates. nbc news business and data reporter brian cheung joins us with the latest. brian, what do the cooling numbers mean for the u.s. economy? >> what it means is that the labor market is continuing to chug along, adding hundreds of
12:16 pm
thousands of jobs, albeit at a cooler pace than we have seen in the past. the unemployment was 3.6%, essentially near the over 50-year low of 3.4%, though you have to flag things like the black unemployment rate which went up to about 6%. broadly speaking we saw job gains in categories like leisure and hospitality, so think bars and restaurants, in addition to professional and business services, white collar jobs, though we saw contraction in retail jobs at the mall. in some pockets you might see weakness but broadly speaking encouraging to see the unemployment rate so low. >> you captured the nuance. what do the numbers mean for the ongoing fears about the realities of rising inflation? >> the jobs report gifts a lens into the prices side of things in this economy in the form of wage growth. we did see wages increase by 4.4% between june of this year and june of last year.
12:17 pm
that is encouraging for americans who want to see their paychecks get bigger, but not so good when you consider the fact inflation is eroding the power. the federal reserve looking at the report and in the first time in many months we've seen the pace of inflation, which is overall 4.4%, actually below the point of wage increases which is encouraging although the fed is expected to raise interest rates when they meet later on this month, zinhle. >> any surprises in the data you saw? >> when we talk about surprises a lot of ways to measure the labor market. one interesting thing i pulled was there was an increase in the amount of people unemployed after losing hours. if you are hourly employed, you are not maybe getting 30-hour workweeks. you might be getting less. that's interesting because from an employer's standpoint maybe it shows they don't need workers in the degree they did at the beginning of last year, for example, when everyone across the board was looking to hire people. an interesting thread to watch there as well. >> really fascinating analysis. brian cheung, thank you so much. sinl, speaking of threads,

12:24 pm
the safety of their over 3,200 guests and over 1,1 owe crew members remains their top priority. they will depart once the ship is deemed fit to sail by the u.s. coast guard. i reached out to the coast guard this morning. they held back from giving any definitive time line of when the ship will be ready. they told me over the phone that the coast guard is continuing its investigation and inspection still. this is a large vessel. there are a lot of things to take into consideration as far as the overall impact of the ship's damage. that's why the coast guard tells me they are unsure of how soon the ship can set sail. some passengers made the decision yesterday to not get on board the ship. many others, like this gentleman that i spoke to, are still in limbo this morning.
12:25 pm
that man tells me he did not know there was even damage to the ship and remains confused what the next steps will be. princess cruises says they are working hard to maintain much of the planned itinerary. they will provide good will compensation once the full affect of the necessary changes is known. it's difficult to imagine how much of that itinerary they can stick to. the ship was supposed to leave dock yesterday at 4:00 p.m. for a trip voyage to alaska. thousands of passengers and crew members are still waiting to hear back to see if they will spend another night on board this ship. >> thank you for the update. here are other stories. sutro tower is staying lit up. police are on the hunt for a suspect. the city of oakland is having significant issues with its 911 system. the trouble began yesterday at
12:26 pm
3:00 in the afternoon. technical glitches began slowing down the routing of 911 calls. some of them were dropped while others got a busy signal. non-emergency lines are said to be slower. the oakland police officers association blamed it on a power outage. no time line for a full repair. police in san francisco want to know if you have seen this man. he is wanted in connection with a violent attack. the suspect shoved an 83-year-old man to the ground. that elderly man suffered broken bones. contact san francisco police if you have any information on the incident or this man. sutro tower is still shining. a laser light installation is illuminating it with 12 red, white and blue lasers. it lit up july 4th and will stay lit through tomorrow night. this is to celebrate sutro tower's 50th anniversary. the only thing to prevent you from seeing that is fog. there may be some on the way.
12:27 pm
kari hall has the forecast. >> we have comfortable weather expected today for the inland valleys with concord one of the warmer spots, but only reaching 77 degrees. this is all cooler than normal for early july, heading into the weekend, oakland reaches a high of 66 today. about the same in san mateo. up to 82 in santa rosa today. napa in the mid 70s. tomorrow, we don't see much of a change in temperatures. along the coastline, it's a cool 60 degrees. then for the inland areas, heading toward fairfield, 80 degrees. sunday, cool but after this point, we are going to be heating up. we will see our temperatures going from the 70s to the 80s and 90s. look at that coming up in 30 minutes. >> see you in a bit. here is something you may notice. bart is going to be running ads in a language you probably don't recognize. it goes back to the ancient origins of the bay area.

efforts to actually bring him and other americans being held in russia home >> well, as for the state us of his possible release or a prisoner swap, even though it is still very early days, there seems to be a small glimmer of hope initially one question, zinhle, is the u.s. holding any high-profile russians that might be part of a swap, and nothing obvious popped up. now a name is being bandied about, a guy who was detained in the u.s. on cyber crime charges and whom the russian embassy staff recently visited so there might be a possible exchange in the pipeline, but we are still a long way off >> all right allie ali arouzi with the latest thank you. the u.s. is sending cluster bombs to ukraine as part of a package. the president signed a waiver to transfer the controversial weapon cluster bombs were banned by 120 countries, but it does not

12:36 pm
through an up armored vehicle. the next one is anti-personnel you often here about the military talking about frag rounds or fragmentation rounds these ones as they land or as they explode they fragment into a bunch of little pieces via the bomblets which frag into more pieces over a large area the reason they're called anti-personnel as you may imagine is they have the potential to do a lot of damage to an individual who might be standing nearby one of the explosions this reason these are so controversial is because when you consider the little bomblets they don't always exploded now, the u.s. says that -- it is called a dud rate, the number that are actually duds the u.s. says the one they're sending to ukraine have a dud rate there's than 1.25 percent >> even with that low dud rate, courtney, it is difficult for these web onapons be used in a i what that collateral damage does not happen we have seen russia accused of using this in ukraine since the

war started, much to the chagrin of the authorities saying the use of these in the communities amount to war crimes why is the united states making the decision to send it to ukraine and why right now? is it because they think it could change the course of the war or is it because the u.s. feels it is a better thing to lose in our stockpile of weapons? >> so it is not that it is going to make a big difference on the ba battlefield. it is what is called a bridge. the ukrainians have struggled to keep up their stockpile of artillery rounds this provides them with something that they can use, a capability that they can use that sort of makes up for those shortfalls in the artillery rounds for now while the u.s. and other nations build up more that they can provide to ukraine. it is not going to make that big a difference on the ground now, that being said, ukraine has also provided them with assurances that they will do as much as they possibly can to assure that civilians aren't caught up in any of these duds or any of these munitions,

ellison. >> courtney kube, very big news. thank you for that the future of the company behind the vessel that imploded on its way to the titanic remains uncertain. >> oceangate says it is suspending all operations following last month's deadly underwater disaster. here is nbc news correspondent anne thompson. >> you are out at 130 meters. >> reporter: nearly three weeks after the titan submersible began its ill-fated dive to the titanic shipwreck, the company that operated the vessel says it has suspended all exploration and commercial operations. beyond titanic, oceangate had plans to take paying passengers aboard titan to explore the bahamas and portugal's azores next year. but now last month's dive which led to the death of five people including the company's ceo stockton rush may be its last. the announcement comes amid international investigations and increased scrutiny of possible warning signs that may have been
12:39 pm
ignored. >> i've broken some rules to make this. >> reporter: in a bbc documentary film last year rush did not appear concerned when he was told about a noise heard on a past dive. >> on mission four, we have to surface, he heard a really loud bang almost every deep diving sub makes a noise at some point. >> reporter: the u.s. coast guard and the transportation safety board of canada are both examining debris found on the sea floor including a voyage data recorder. u.s. investigators are currently analyzing what they believe are human remains recovered within the wreckage, all to determine what may have caused the deep sea catastrophe. experts have been critical of the different materials used in titan's construction, in particular two titanium end caps joined by a carbon fiber hull. video posted in 2017 shows the oceangate team bonding the pieces together with a type of glue >> the glue is very thick, so it is not like elmer's fwglue
12:40 pm
it is like peanut butter. >> reporter: meanwhile, members of the deep sea exploration community including film dr. james cameron speculated before the titan crew lost communication rush may have attempted to aboard the dive and resurface. >> i believe now that they had some warning, that they heard some acoustic signature of the hull beginning to delaminate. >> reporter: anne thompson, nbc news on capitol hill members of the conservative house freedom caucus voted on whether or not to oust controversial congresswoman marjorie taylor greene the vote happened close to two weeks ago on the eve of the july 4th recess it is unclear where the vote was successful garrett haake joins us now from capitol hill garrett, the house is still out on recess which would explain we don't know how the vote went what do we know at this point
12:41 pm
and why did the vote happen in the first place? >> reporter: ellison, it is a good reminder congress is sometimes like your high school lunch table. in this case there's no question marjorie taylor greene is one of the most conservative members of congress her politics fit neatly within the house freedom caucus's broader umbrella but what she has done appears to have angered her colleagues are two things. number one, an outspoken critic of the house speaker and she had a back and forth with lauren boebert on the floor of the house about an impeachment resolution she thought boebert copied from her. whether or not she is aware has been kicked out or is accepting it is unclear at this movement it remind me a little of the "seinfeld" episode where george
12:42 pm
cost tannah's girlfriend refuses to acknowledge he has broken up with her >> what would it mean if this vote went through? >> we have she released a statement yesterday on the topic in which she says basically her credentials are as good as they are on all things america first and that she is only serving northwest georgia first. of course, that's where her district is. she hasn't actually addressed the house freedom caucus portion of this at all look, greene is a prolific fundraiser she is probably a bigger kind of conservative star than all but a few ot members of the house freedom caucus individually. it is not clear to me it damages her in any way she's sort of suffered far worse stones from democratic control of congress. this kind of internal republican infighting just casts another shadow on how republicans are running the house. i don't think it damages her political future in what is a very, very safe republican district in northwest georgia in any way. >> interesting stuff garrett haake, thank you

coming up, all of the sum ever with none of the stress how you can have a fun-filled season without the fear of missing out. you are watching "nbc news daily.

12:46 pm
>> just as clark griswold's summer, it can be a very stressful time from family vacations to barbecues we often try to cram as much as possible into very short periods of time. >> so in today's mental health check we are taking on summer stress if left unchecked the pressure of trying to have fun in the sun can actually become a burden on your mental health joining us now to talk about it is motivational speaker and author amy schmidt amy, thankfully we haven't had that kind of road trip, at least not yet. but let's start with why some of us tend to over commit during the summer and how that actually can affect our mental health >> oh, thank you for having me excited to talk about this i love that clip you know, we look at may and all of a sudden we have all of these celebrations and then we turn to june, july and august and we are thinking our calendar won't be as full and it is the opposite because we are becoming too busy, right. we wear this busy like a badge
12:47 pm
of honor so we are going to have to learn the joy of missing out, jomo, which is actually stepping into our power of no. that next, as you know, backyard barbecue or the next class your kid wants to take that you don't know if it is going to fit into the schedule, step into your power of no. >> i love that it actually can be a powerful thing. you are preaching to the choir because i have tennis lessons, barbecue, hair appointment, all tomorrow so i don't know. >> on the flip side, i have no qualms saying no, but for people out there i'm like, is it after 9:00 p.m.? no, not for me but for people out there who do feel like i have to say yes to so many things, how do they go about saying no and embracing the power of no? >> such an important topic you know what? we are to really own that power of no. how we do that is by simply not apologizing. what's the first thing we like to do? i'm so sorry i can't make it no, we're going to take it out of the narrative and we're going to simply say, i appreciate you thinking of me but, you know what i'm at capacity right now.
12:48 pm
i just can't take on anything else, but thanks for the invite. step away. that's it. then there's no guilt, there's nothing like that. we just really own that power of no, and it is important to take a time audit, to sit down with your spouse or partner, yourself, or look at your calendar or with your kids and family and see what you want to accomplish over the quick months of summer. if it doesn't fit in and align with values in your timetable, simply say no. it sounds easy and it actually is if you can own it and take on that power >> sometimes it is characterized at jomo, the joys of missing out. how can we further embrace that in our lives >> you know, a big part of that is social media, right when we are sitting and scrolling through social media and seeing what people are doing, what their holiday parties and whatever, you know, s step away from social immediate ya media and be present i know there are all sort of things launching and apps, they're created to capture your
12:49 pm
attention and they're working great. but if we actually set aside boundaries and time and time limits around social media we will have more time to engage, be present and enjoy summer and kind of release that fearless exhilaration, that kid we used to have. remember those, you know, days back in summer when we jumped off the rope swing into the lake and ate too much cotton candy, all of those things. we just step away from social media for a bit. >> you are talking about eve, if you are feeling stressed and looking at your social calendar, what can you do? >> you do a time audit of what needs to be done we are our own barometer around stress self care is something we need to do all year around, not just in the summer. you know when you are a little off, when you are agitated, when you are not sleeping well. use it as a real sign to take some time for you. you know, whether it is taking a bubble bath, a ten-minute walk outside and, you know, having someone else watch the kids for a bit, it really is practicing self-care. you know, there was a great study done at harvard along with mayo clinic that talked about
12:50 pm
the power of meditative silence and spending ten minutes a day just being silent. refocusing, lowering your blood pressure and focusing on those things, being present. it is such an important practice, and i have to be honest with you, i have practiced this for ain long time i had to start with five minutes because ten was way too much so i had to start with five be present and enjoy it. that's what we need to do. >> i need to she just read me i was telling her about my weekend plans. amy, it is good. a good work d for all of the families trying to figure out how to use their time during this summemertime. amy y shh amy schmhmidt. thank you u so mucuch. > you're e welcome. >> thehere's more newsws ahead you u are watchihing new engngld news dailyly e watchihing new end news dailyly and d here. nonot so much h here. ifif you have e chronic kidney disisease, farxiga cacan help youou keep l living lifefe. ♪ farxixiga ♪
