it's tuesday, july 11th, 2023. breaking news. unrelenting, federal emergency declared in the northeast, while down south millions are baking in sweltering heat. how long this wild weather is expected to stick around. high stakes, president biden face to face with nato leaders. hollywood drama the clock is ticking with just hours left until actors might join writers on the picket line. the key issues in the labor fight and what it means for your favorite movies and tv shows. clear and present danger. the smoke for the canadian wildfires is still drifting into the united states. affecting communities not used to threats like that we begin this hour with breaking news the devastating weather just pummelling parts of the northeast. >> some brand-new images showing

us the scope of the impact. this drone video out of vermont's capital, a federal emergency has been declared there now, torrential rains led to flooding in montpelier. >> emergency crews conducted more than a hundred rescues by boats and helicopters, no reports of injuries or deaths. at the same time the oppressive heatt has y yet too up.. thee temperatutures simply unbebearable foror 60 million americans across the southern u.s., in the southwest people are baking under triple-digit temperatures for yet another day. >> we're tracking the heat in miami and meteorologist bill karins is here with the latest forecast. but let's bring begin with george solis in highland falls, new york. how is the recovery there going? >> reporter: good afternoon, kate and ellison. we saw engineers inspecting the bridge behind me.

all about assessment. for one man it's about loss. i spoke to ed nugent, who mourns the loss of his daughter. take a listen to my conversation with him. >> she said the yard collapsed. she got really scared. so she tried to come out with the dog. we screamed at her stay in the house. stay in the house. she started screaming the house is going to fall down, you know, she was in here for a bit, put the dog on a leash and tried to put her head down and wouldn't listen us, as soon as she hit the road she was gone. this landscape around here is so surreal, i haven't processed any of it. i got to deal with all of the ramifications of, you know,

funeral. >> so sorry. >> and all that. >> reporter: ed nuge in, t said he wants people to know his daughter was kind and loving. meanwhile, a lot of others are quite literally picking up the pieces as this devastating flood breaks its aftermath, many people are hoping they don't see flooding like this for a long time. in miami, opposite extreme. 95 degrees but it feels a whole lot hotter than that i bet. how are people coping many. >> reporter: the heat index is something like 110 degrees, people in florida, here in miami, are used to the hot temperatures but not this hot. you look at miami-dade county alone there's an estimated 100,000 workers that work outside and of course this heat creates dangerous conditions for them for the people who have to work in landscacaping, coconstructionon workers and wos

who have to get up and go to work every day. lot of precautions have to be taken and the area, the city, the county as a whole is used to operating outside on their day-to-day. people hang outside. this heat is in fact unbearable. the water down in the keys as hot as 97 degrees. that's even hotter than we're used to. people here doing what they can to remain cool under this heat wave, kate. >> bill, it's one thing to complain about the weather when it's hot, it rains, we don't love it, right, but when we hear from george about what happened in new york, a reminder how dangerous these situations can be. >> we're done worrying about the power of water. the rivers have crested in most

cases. the river crested earlier this morning in montpelier. water going down to the connecticut river, it's going to take a while. the areas that you see in purple here, rutland, burlington, rivers still in major floodstage. it's already dropped about two feet since the crest this morning. we want on get that as low as possible before more water heads into it. already 103 degrees in phoenix, 11 110-degree days in row the record is 18. we'll do it again today and for at least the next three, four days. we have a chance at that all-time record. >> all right, thank you. president biden has just wrapped up his first day at the nato summit in lithuania, a tale

of two countries, ukraine and sweden. turkey ended its long -- year-long opposition putting sweden on the verge of joining nato, taking that opposition away, however the road to membership is not as clear for ukraine. president biden and ukrainian president zelenskyy are expected to meet at the summit tomorrow potentially to talk about that. monica alba joins us in lithuania tonight. it's tonight there. president biden met with turkey's president, they reversed course on sweden, they're not blocking membership anymore. >> reporter: it was a significant reversal from the turkish president, kate, you're absolutely right about that. even president biden on his way here to lithuania spoke with president erdogan a couple of days ago about what was going to happen with sweden and even after that phone call it said

likely this process will be finalized in coming weeks, they didn't expect it to happen when all of the leaders were here. it was a surprise announcement last night the president is welcoming president erdogan for removing that opposition for sweden becoming the latest member of nato. that's significant here. because it's something that world leaders can tout as another message of unity as they continue to have a show of support for ukraine, another main topic for them all to discuss. >> let's talk about ukraine and may toe, nato is saying not right now, which seems what president zelenskyy didn't want to hear today. >> reporter: this will be a really important conversation here tomorrow, the significant

part of it is president zelenskyy expressed his displeasure saying this uncertainty on the timetable signals weakness and wanting to get a firmer answer of when ukraine could join nato. they said they won't be able to extend that invitation to ukraine until all the leaders agree on certain conditions that have to met. top of the list is the ongoing war in ukraine, that needs to be dealt with in some manner, finalized, some security things need to be in place before nato can extend that invitation. president zelenskyy will continue to push that in the meeting with president biden tomorrow. kate. >> monica in lithuania for us covering it all, thank you.

aagencies, state agencies spanning out this. as far as 15, 20 miles away from that jail, all of them searching for michael burham trying to capture him before someone gets hurt. someone allegedly with a violent past. they know they have to act quickly. we'll have details as this story unfolds. ellison. >> ethan, thank you. bank of america is paying a steep fine and a popular section on the mcdonald's menu is coming to an end. >> morgan brennan joins us now with cnbc money minute. bank of america's facing $250 million worth of fines and fees for consumer abuses. the bank engaged in deceptive practices harming hundreds of thousands of customers.

elizabeth holmes prison sentence has a release date of december 29 of 2032 instead of 2034. which means her 11-year three-month prison sentence has been reduced to around nine years. the bureau of prisons wouldn't comment specifically about her sentence. they say out of respect for her privacy, safety and security. say that generally speaking, inmates can have their sentence reduced for good conduct and completing programs for rehabilitation and substance abuse, things like that. holmes, who is 39, reported to a women's camp in texas may after she was convicted on four felony counts of fraud and conspiracy for duping investors into buying into her company theranos, her company that falsely promised it could perform blood tests with a single drop of blood. steven clark says that, of course, those credits can be taken away if holmes were to break the rules. if she tows the line, clark

believes it's possible she could get out before that nine-year sentence is up. >> she could begin her return to society even earlier than the nine years, because she is a non-violent offender. she may be released to a halfway house where she's supervised by the federal prison system, but she can begin to start to work. she can reunite with her family. all of those things are incentives for good behavior in the federal system. >> reporter: another executive is serving a prison sentence many both he and holmes have been ordered to pay over $400 million in restitution to their victims. bob redell, nbc bay area news. here are other stories you need to know about. a san jose couple accused of running an illegal botox operation is due in court. a famous comedian is suing meta and open ai. police in san francisco are on the hunt for thieves that targeted a high end store in the

in the decades-old cold case that captivated the country. the death of a baltitimore nun d teacherr featuredd in the netfl documentary "the keepers." >> she never came home from that trip. >> reporter: officials now seeking to exhume the body of joyce, a 20-year-old woman who was found stabbed and strangled in a stream on fort mead just days after she went missing. spent much of her adult life trying to solve her murder. >> i think the two are connected. joyce was from the same neighborhood to church. >> reporter: a report about that priest, joseph maskal earlier this year, alleged that he sexually abused dozens of people and helped cover up the abuse. >> the priests were the

authority. >> reporter: the report said he had a fascination with the sexual fantasies and behavior of boy scouts and had young girls in the rectory under suspiciouo circumstances. he was removed f from two different pair ishes due to report ofor his conduct. he was named chaplain of seaton hill high school where she taught. one of the victims who said he raped her in 1992 alleges he took her to see her body, he was never charged with either of the murders and she died in 200 # 1, before her disappearance the victim said that he asked her if she was experiencing abuse. >> the family is hoping there will be answers.. >> reporter: maskal lived that

rectory. >> the first goal is to, you know, see if there is shared biological material that these two people came into contact. >> reporter: the time line for when this body actually could be exhumed is not quite clear just yet. but these developmentstime we'rt supreme court justice sonia sotomayor. members of her taxpayer-funded pushed college libraries to buy her books. what exactly are these allegations if. >> this is a part of what happened when you don't have a

formal code offette ibs. the supreme court is not bound by the same code that every other federal member of the judiciary follows. a situation like this is hard to judge whether she did anything wrong. because there's no benchmark. according to ap, having her staff reached out to college and universities encouraging them to buy her books. the a spshgs essentially saying that that's what she did, but the supreme court is backing her essentially saying that she did nothing wrong, she's at least guided by the code by other federal judges follow. it's really hard to judge in this case. >> so she was nominated by president obama, a democrat, clarence thomas obviously came in under republican leadership,

this spans the court now, does this mean maybe they'll look at some kind offette ibs rules in. >> that's one slice of a much larger picture. they're taking different trips to different places. on the issue of court reform, two ways you can reform the justices can decide themselves they want to have a code or congress could pass a bill we haven't seen any will for that in congress. the senate judiciary is going to try, they're marking up a bill on this very topic. >> what's the opposition if. >> they think the supreme court actually should not be guided. at least some republicans think the supreme court should not be guided by a separate code. >> the supreme court could decide for themselves. >> sure, any time. >> do you think there's a will for that in supreme court in. >> no. >> why not in. >> because they truly believe

they're special and they're separate, we know how to do this, just trust us. >> people are saying, hey, what's going on here. >> times where this's questions about institutional integrity. >> lauren year rhett. two big developments in the cases against former president donald trump. the next court hearing in the case has now been delayed four days, until july 18th. last night trump's lawyers asked to postpone the case indefinitely, possibly until after the 2024 election the trial is set to begin in november at the moment. trump's legal team believes it will be hard to find an impartially jury. golf is the hot topic on capitol hill today. pga tour planned merger with

saudi-backed liv golf. if the deal actually goes through the influx of saudi money could have a dramatic impact on the entire world of sports. we talked about this with garrett haake earlier, it happens a lot where you see politics, geopolitics kind of bleed into these other entertainment areas, but with golf, there's a lot of concern on capitol hill on what this might mean. break this down for us. >> reporter: ellison, what members of congress are concerned about is that the saudi government is essentially forcing itself into the business of golf as a way to sports wash as it's called its image around the world, essentially conducting a hostile takeover over what senator richard blumenthal described as a sacred

american institution. pga tour officials agreed they didn't want to be in this position but they said they had no other choice. listen. >> my fear is if we don't get to an agreement they're already putting billions of dollars into golf, they've got a management team that wants to destroy the tour and even though you could say take five, six players a year they have an up limited horizon and unlimited amount of money. it's not like the product is better there's a lot more money that will make people move. >> reporter: so, what concerns congress the most is that there's no control over how much influence the saudi government will have over the game of golf once they enter into this agreement, tour officials have pushed back and say they are going to be -- complete control

now in hollywood are concerned. all of these people no matter what side they're on have bills to pay. obviously everyone wants this resolved. but particularly these unions want to see some increases. >> if writers go on strike, if actors join the writers on strike, check mate for the studios, is that going to force the studios to have to give? >> well, certainly it's reinvigorate the writers who have been striking since may 2nd. reports about real fatigue about that, they have the same issue as far as minimum rates, residuals and a.i. it's going to be a checkmate, your move on the studios' part. this is going to take a while. the actors union has 40 pages of

demands. >> all right, brian, thank you. coming up, how to protect yourself from smoke during this intense wildfire seas.on

quality concerns elevated here in the united states. it was a shock when smoke drifted in and haze turned skies orange in the northeast a few weeks ago. happening in the midwest more recently. serious health impacts could come with it. >> globally at least 33,000 people die each year from wildfire pollution due to particles that can enter the lungs and the blood stream. joining us is dr. vin gupta. break this down for us. why do people need to be so conscience of this and not become so complacent in. >> thank you for the service you're doing by highlighting this. for all your viewers out there, if you have trouble breathing, asthma, or a heart condition,

this is uniquely significant to you. because we know to your point, ellison, the wildfire smoke, those particles in the air you can't see them but smell them, but they can lodge them in places in your lung where you can't cough them out. that causes organ dysfunction. this touches us all. i'll quickly say, children, we've seen that, as children are routinely exposed to wildfire smoke over the course of weeks, season after season, they're at higher risk of developing asthma. we know that places, urban inner city locations, high rates of asthma. if you're expecting, an expectant mother, pre-term birth. >> as we think about the rest of the summer, you know, hot, humid

weather. smoke coming in from canada or new fires that start, what do we need to do? >> kate, a few things. first of all go to airnow.gov, check your outdoor air quality in your zip code. if it's poor it's likely indoor air quality might be come promized. if you have them, if you have an air-conditioning unit keep the fresh air coming in closed so you're recirculating air. keep your windows closed. wear n95 masks. we know that masks aren't perfect when it comes to wildfire smoke but they keep a lot out of that matter from your lungs. so they're important.

>> there are different levels, dr. gupta, in terms of when it's really bad and moderate. how do you know when you need to mask up? what's the time period for how long you can be outside and no need to worry versus there could be long-term ramifications? >> it's important to be clear. air quality index, again, is above 100, you shouldn't go outside. try to stay indoors. avoid physical exertion. if you have to be outside, again mask up. we know that just a few hours of smoke, if you're not protecting yourself, if your air indoors is not as clean as possible through air purifiers, just a few hours

of the inhalation can cause one with asthma to go to hospital. >> for those who don't have pre-existing conditions, if i was exposed in new york, will it permanently stick with you or do your lungs recover in. >> the good thing here is, you can recover, otherwise healthy, if you have a short-term exposure it's not going to cause long-term damage. season after season where the united states will likely to experience bad air quality over several months. it's important to protect yourself. >> all right, dr. gupta, thank you. there's much more news ahead. >> you're watching "nbc nenews daily" . trelelegy for cocopd. ♪ b birds flyinin' high, you know h how i feel.l. ♪ ♪ b breeze drififtin' on...♪ [cououghing] ♪ .....by, you knknow how i f f♪ if youou're tired d of starining down youour copd. ♪ i it's a new w dawn, ♪♪ ♪ it't's a new daday... ♪♪

>> i will not be supporting that action. considering the fact that the financial condition the city of oakland is in today and will be in the coming year. >> if oakland's finance committee signs off on a pay raise for the mayor today, the full city council will hold a vote on the issue next week. we are on a warming trend. how hot is it going to get and how long will it last? kari hall has the answer. >> those temperatures will be hotter for today and the next few days through thursday. we are in the upper 80s and low 90s for the inland valleys. a bigger spike on friday into the weekend. it's going to be a really hot weekend for the inland valleys. make sure that you are also drinking lots of water, staying in the shade if possible. also, checking on friends and neighbors who may not have air conditioning. as we look in san francisco, it's warming up slightly over the next few days, going from

upper 60s to upper 70s. the warmest day will be on saturday, reaching 77 degrees. a little more fog and slightly cooler temperatures on sunday. the cooling continues into early next week.

our first trick is to check your rate. we recently saw a hotel in honolulu where west coasters could book a special rate that doesn't include a resort fee. the thing is, it wasn't the first rate the hotel's website showed. you had to scroll down. poke around. if you have as revags, you are not locked in with a fee. many can be revised until the week you arrive. check to see if you can change your rate now to save money on your vacation. comparison shop for package deals. here is one good example.

some warehouse clubs offer members hotel deals that do not have a resort fee. third, see if your company has a negotiated hotel rate. many employers, especially big ones, broker deals with the hotel chains. part of that negotiation is nixing resort fees. sometimes you can use your corporate rate for leisure travel. thanks, boss. see if your loyalty pays. at least one hotel chain waives resort fees for top tier members. tip five is, see if using points instead of cash to pay for your stay makes sense. even if you have to buy the points. here is why. many hotels do not charge resort fees when you redeem their points. >> good tips. state fish and wildlife agents are hoping to capture a sea otter acting aggressively. these are new images from a local photographer showing the otter hopping on different surf boards over the weekend.

at one point the otter bit a surf board. so far, it hasn't hurt anyone. a team of experts say it is showing unusual behavior and want to capture it so it can undergo an evaluation by vets. undergo an evaluation by vets. that does when youou're ready y to go but t static andnd wrinkless are e like, nooooooo! try bounce, , it's the s shee. lessss static. lessss wrinkles.s. more softft. momore freshneness. bobounce. it's t the sheet.. i told mysyself i was s ok with m my moderatete to sevevere rheumamatoid ararthritis sysymptoms. wiwith my psororiatic arthritis s symptoms.. bubut just ok k isn't ok.. anand i was dodone settlini. ifif you stillll have sympmps after a tntnf blockerr
