administration announcing it will provide a controversial new weapon to ukraine, cluster munitions. ukraine has been asking the u.s. for the cluster bombs since last year president biden explaining why now. >> the ukrainians are running out of ammunition. >> reporter: specifically, artillery rounds allies struggling to keep them supplied as they fight through a tough counteroffensive. >> so we want to make sure that the ukrainians have sufficient artillery to keep them in the fight in context of the current counteroffensives. because things are going slower than some hoped. >> reporter: when cluster munitions explode, they scatter dozens of small bombs over a large area unleashing more widespread destruction than single rounds. controversial, because some of the small bombs may not explode, embedding in the ground, becoming a threat to civilians these duds can prove deadly weeks, months, even years later. >> it's a difficult decision it's a decision we deferred. a decision that required a real, hard look at the potential harm

to civilians. >> reporter: officials saying the u.s. will only provide the explosives with a dud rate below 1.2% more than 100 signed the treaty outlawing use, but the u.s. did not. >> discussed this with allies and friends up on the hill, and we're in a situation where ukraine continues to be brutally attacked across the board. >> reporter: ukraine, assuring the u.s., they would minimize chances of civilian harm by not using the rounds in civilian and urban environments, recording where they use the rounds and committing to de-mining areas after the war. the u.s. has roughly 10,000 cluster bombs in europe ready to send to ukraine in the coming days >> we will not leave ukraine defenseless. >> reporter: because these cluster munitions have a failure rate above 1%, u.s. law requires that president biden sign a waiver before transferring them to any other country

this waiver is frustrating some u.s. lawmakers particularly in president biden's only party ship introducing an amendment which would ban the transfer of all cluster munitions. kristen, peter >> courtney at the pentagon. thank you. meantime, president biden is celebrating friday's jobs report with the u.s. economy adding 209,000 jobs down to 3.6% what does this all mean for you and for the economy? nbc news business and data reporter brian cheung joins us great to see you start with the lower unemployment adding jobs all seems positive yet the numbers were complicated why is that? break it down. >> talk about what we saw in the jobs report yesterday, a bit of a below estimates-type of figure

saw the wall street estimates, closer to 230,000 and 240,000. also a slower pace than seen about 18 months ago adding about economists i've heard from said, well that 200,000 yes, a slower pace, but economists i've heard from said, well that 200,000 pace might be more consistent with a normal c paced growing economy in the united states. as you mentioned, unemployment rate at 3. 6% lowest in 50 years, context, only 3.4%. not far away particular that but threads we continue to follow. for example, the black unemployment rate at 6% notched up between may and june. parts of this economy we're going to have to watch out for again, healthy to see these types of job gains in a given month and unemployment remains historically low. >> battling record-high

inflation for the last year. what does this jobs report tell us about the state of inflation and what americans should expect to pay going forward in terms of mortgage rates and their credit cards and the like >> a glimpse on the picture in inflation in the form of average hourly earnings. a herb in how much more this time compared to this time last year 4.4%, how much more people were making around this time in june compared to june of last year. which sounds good, and that's also very good when you consider that inflation and things at the store are rising by 4% the first month in over a year that we've seen the rate of inflation below the pace of price increases. that's certainly a good thing for americans that have been seeing purchasing of their wallet still 4% rate of inflation higher than economists say are healthy for the economy. they want to see that closer to 2% battle on inflation as federal reserve raises interest rates deliberately slowing the economy, not yet mission

accomplished. >> that battle over inflation is one of the key reasons why a potential recession loomed so large over this economic picture. jobs numbers have continued to be robust and strong, but there are a number of other economic factors that have economists worried. so how concerned are they at this moment we're headed for recession still? >> talk about the recession word, that means multiple way of measuring the economy. right? that could be employment could be inflation could be gdp growth or a measurement of the growth of the economy at large, but when it comes to employment side of things a glimpse from the jobs report yesterday these are not the types of recessionary dynamics you would see in the employment market to see unemployment at 3.6% not consistent with a recession. whether or not that trend holds in the months to come, we'll continue to watch. again with unemployment rate at 3. % near over 50-year lows people have jobs and that type of a trend you see in the

employment market tells you we're not in recession, at least on that front, guys. >> all right brian cheung with great information as always. great to see you thanks. health concerns growing across the south this morning with news that two more people in the state of florida have contracted malaria there the first time a local spread of malaria in this country in two decades. nbc's guad venegas in corals gables, florida, with the latest good morning >> reporter: peter, good morning. well, malaria has been considered eliminated from the united states can since the 1950s. two new cases we now have seven locally contracted cases in the united states this summer, which now has health authorities on alert. this morning, florida residents facing a new health scare brought by mosquitoes. health authorities in sarasota county confirming two new cases of locally contracted malaria. this after a state-wide health advisory was issues in late june.

>> likely going to be a cluster of cases in sarasota county. mosquito has 0 bite a human infectened and go off bite another human less than a mile away mosquitoes don't travel long distances. >> reporter: the disease caused by a parasite which spreads to humans from the bites of infected mosquitoes. estimated the u.s. sees about 2,000 cases annually from those who acquired the disease abroad before entering the country. unlike the new cases, contracted locally from infected mosquitoes, this is an unusual headline not something we typically see here in the united states. this is really going to require vigilance on the part of health officials. >> reporter: for those who get sick flu-like symptoms include a notoriously high fever, body aches, chills, headaches and nausea dr. gupta says it shouldn't create panic with medical centers in the u.s. prepared to test and treat the disease while public health authorities carry

aggressive vector control efforts near the areas where the cases emerge. >> trying to knock down any of those adult mosquitoes that might be carrying that agent. >> reporter: a challenge for the sunshine state after two of the top public health officials responsible for tracking and preventing the spread of communicable diseases left their jobs in the ron desantis administration in recent months. now, malaria is still common in tropical and subtropical countries where millions still get infected every year. so for those in florida under that health advisory, the advice and tips wear pants or long sleeves if possible. it's really hot. i'm not wearing long sleeves but i do have repellent. also advisable to have repellent epa approved of course, and if outside like we are at the moment, wear some, and get rid of standing water, which is perfect for mosquitoes to lay eggs peter? >> yep remember that bug spray.

universal. the movie takes a look at j. robert oppenheimer. man known as father of the atomic bomb. >> so much to know about him. a new documentary released this weekend goes into much more detail about oppenheimer, and his weapon that changed the world. >> people had seen explosions and tested bombs for decades. but to see the size of it, just -- it's just astonishing. >> there's never been a moment like that in the history of the world. the view of the world, the view of what matter is. what we are made of. palpably changes -- the unleashing of a force never before imagined, and can never be a war from this point on. >> that was a clip from the nbc news studios documentary "to end all war," oppenheimer and the atomic bomb. thrilled to have director of

that documentary and the man who wroes the book that inspired christopher nolan's movie. gentlemen, good morning. thank you both for being here. appreciate it. >> thanks for having us. >> and j. robert oppenheimer including your book written back in 2005. wipe is it so important there's is the a renewed focus on him and the nuclear bomb now? >> well, it's a great opportunity to revisit this important history. you know, oppenheimer was the father of the atomic bomb. he introduced the atomic age, which is still, we're grappling with, still trying to learn how to live with the bomb. witness the war in ukraine, where we're hearing threats about tactical nuclear weapons. but it's also a larger story than just a bomb. it's also his life and i think chris has done just a fantastic, brilliant job on the documentary. >> let's talk about his life, because you delve into it, and the fact that he really

struggled with the ethics of this, with whether he was doing, it was the right thing. ousted during the mccarthy era. is he sympathetic as well? >> he is. mixture of personal ambition and patriotism. somebody who in his heart really loved america, wanted to do the right thing. wanted to help us win the war, but also saw where this technology could take us, and wanted to do his best, or use his influence to avoid having us go down a road that, you know, we'd never come back from and unfortunately we've sort of, nuclear weapons proliferated and still dealing with them today, and we will be for really forever. >> so for people who see this documentary, chris, ask you first. what do you hope people take away from it? es special lip due to the movie? >> one, appreciation for extreme
