humidity is making it feel even hotter. people in nevada can expect temperatures over 100 for the next five days straight. >> at the same time, there's a slow-moving disaster unfolding near los angeles a landslide has caused at least 12 homes to come off their foundations, people living there only have minutes to evacuate and more homes there are in danger of collapsing. >> we'll get to steve patterson on that in just a moment. meteorologist bill karins will have the forecast. let's begin with the heat and tiffany lane from our affiliate in las vegas is here. you're baking for days, how are people handling it? >> reporter: good afternoon, thank you so much for having me on. you're right, we're used to these temperatures out here but it doesn't mean it gets any easier for us, a lot of people as crow see on the strip, we

have people come here to vegas during the summertime. look around, not too many people walking on the strip. it's 107 outside. it's just too hot for too many people. they're being smart, staying indoors and cooling down. these casinos are well air-conditioned which is good and plenty of activities. so that's what many people are doing. lot of people out here right now, we have the nba summer league on this strip for about another league, a baseball game this weekend, we have so many activities and we may reach near-record-breaking temperatures this weekend so it's going to get even hotter you're encouraged to stay hydrated, wear loose-fitting clothing and making sure you're staying cool. >> bill, break it down for us, why is the heat so bad and last something long right now. >> reporter: the weather pattern is stuck, some areas are actually kind of cool, the great

as far as vegas goes in that record if they don't break it on sunday they may do it on monday. also 116. >> all right, thank you. steve patterson in california, how much damage has that landslide that we were talking about done so far and what's being done to help people in those homes? >> reporter: broadly the problem is, kate, we don't know how much damage has been done to the area, because there needs to be a geological survey, so scientists and authorities can know exactly what the damage is if that extends further into the neighborhood. and how they can help people. assess the damage. right now, we know 12 homes have been red-tagged, of those 10 have still moved. one gentleman who says his home has moved 10 feet. his home is almost entirely

destroyed. he's a little worried that there should have been more advanced notice. here's what he told me. listen to this. >> i'm angry that people have dropped the ball. no indication that in april something might have happen. no one noticed us. >> reporter: meanwhile they're helping people here, the city has applied and now declared a disaster in this area, more state and federal funding. they're helping people with tax relief. they need to help people find answers. back to you. >> just unbelievable images. hope everyone stays safe. thank you so much. there's important news about your money today. inflation is now at its lowest level in two years. >> but the price you pay is

that inflation has gone down. people aren't feeling that at the grocery store, when that might change. >> i don't think that's going to change. a thing that started last year because the headline numbers got very big, started during the pandemic with mispricing going on. first it was goods, services, transportations prices still very high. >> caleb, thank you so much. president biden is on his way to finland after wrapping two days of meetings at the nato summit in lithuania, delivering a speech today calling the nato alliance vital and pledging support for ukraine. >> president biden's remarks came after his meeting with ukrainian president zelenskyy. josh lederman joins us now from lithuania. let's start with president's speech. what else did it say about

ukraine and the support of nato. >> taking stock of the last year and a half with the president really praising the western nations for not losing their strong support for ukraine, praising the ukrainians for their resilience saying that despite a year and a half of what he described as crimes against humanity by the russians the ukrainians haven't crumbled. a major focus of the speech today was really at looking at what comes next. watch. >> the defense of freedom is not the work of a day or a year, it's the calling of our lifetime. of all time. we're still for the struggle ahead. our unity will not falter, i promise you. >> reporter: president biden also meeting here with president zelenskyy of ukraine just after the ukrainian leader had come out on twitter sharply critical of nato's reluctance to immediately allow his country into the alliance, but after that meeting zelenskyy saying it

went great, it lasted twice as long that had been scheduled. focused on what they were able to promise ukraine, a commitment to start ukrainian pilots on f-16 fighter jets to be provided by the west as well as security commitments that the g7 nations will make to ukraine. one-off contributions of arms and money they've given over the last year and half those are going to regularly contributions from these western nations to ukraine. as a bridge until ukraine is able to finally join nato which these nations gather here has signaled is not going to come until they're no longer in an active war with russia. contract negotiations are under way in detroit auto

person, it wasn't in his hand. he was taken into custody without incident, so we have the suspect in custody at this time. >> reporter: again, that suspect just now i.d.ed as larry pickens. dr. mauck is being remembered, the outpouring of support on social media for the clinic, local children's hospital where he worked as a prominent renowned, respected orthopedic surgeon, those who knew and worked with him asking the community to keep his family in their thoughts and prayers. an absolutely tragedy. >> what else can you tell us about this suspected gun ann it's coming out slowly and surely. essentially they alarry pickens was a patient of dr. mauck, the chief telling our affiliate in memphis he was at the clinic for several hours leading up to the appointment. we don't know what brought him there. he was a patient, that there was

in their words, a targeted attack. he's charged with first degree murder and aggravated assault in this case. >> maggie, thank you. vermont is cleaning up after days of torrential rain and historic flooding there in vermont's capital. one of the biggest issues right now is tremendous amount of debris and mud covering roads. even more rain is expected to hit the states in the next few days. lindsey reiser joins us from montpelier. >> reporter: kate, i know you visited last summer you told me that last hour, for people who have seen the area then and now, it's heartbreaking. everything is caked in mud. the water has receded. water in the streets and that, kate, from people trying to wash off whatever was in their stores, people have been pumping water out of their basements for

hours. take a look at your screen how high that water got. people were getting by in canoes. the good news is, the rivers have crested. the water is receding, but still more than about 200 rescues since sunday night. lot of areas still are without power. of course you mentioned more rain in that forecast. let's go ahead and hear what some business owners told me about this long cleanup ahead. >> even if this is a temporary pause, weeks, months, nobody knows. so, either way, we're out of business for a while. >> reporter: it's a big mess. we have a lot of people coming in to help us. but there's a ton of cleanup. wet books aren't an easy thing to clean up. kind of heartbreaking looking at the books and throwing them away. >> reporter: that bookstore owner, she moved books from lower shelves, but kate, there

was so much water, they simply they weren't expecting that much. >> and, you know, i think luckily there was no loss of life that we know of, right, lindsey, but there's more rain in forecast, so how are they getting ready for that in. >> reporter: of this morning, no reported fatalities, but the ground is saturated, there's a fear, state officials believe that the water has receded enough that the rains shouldn't be a problem, but okay it's a persuasive worry here. iowa is set to become the latest state to ban aborgs after six weeks of pregnancy. they passed the bill as fierce protests erupted the proceeding. shaquille brewster joins us from des moines, iowa, set the scene inside the statehouse for us. what reasoning did state

legislators give in. >> opponents reacted very dramatically not only last night but already earlier today, they filed a lawsuit with the district court hoping that the court puts a hold on this legislation, that would become effective immediately after it is signed by the governor. but for conservatives in this state they've been celebrating this, this is something they have been looking for for years at this point. they say that the bill is actually a compromise, at least among their own party because it includes exceptions the health for the mom, cases of rape and incest. listen to what we heard from the bill's sponsor, trying to get this passed and worked to get this approved for years. listen to what she told us. >> we can't health care reproductive health care. women will still get the care they need. they'll still get pregnancy

attention and they have exceptions if they found out they're pregnant and they don't want to pregnant. >> reporter: all democrats in the legislature voted no. they said this law would be dangerous. you're seeing abortion providers and clinics start to scramble to figure out what they need to do now and what happens next. >> shaq, this kind of thing, these kind of laws, restrictions aren't new, many states in the united states do have these severe restrictions on abortion in the wake of roe v. wade being overturned. how did iowa compare to surrounding states in the region in. >> reporter: iowa is not going to be an island. on that map right there, iowans have and can still go to minnesota or illinois, to receive that care. planned parenthood said that's

pretty much part of their plan at this point. but you see that full map the dark red and the blue, the access to legal abortion in this country is being reduced month after month after the overturning of roe v. wade. you have about 15, iowa will be the 16th state to ban abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, again, that six-week mark is a point at which many women don't even know they're pregnant. you're seeing a dramatic shift in this country from just a year or so ago and it's a direct result of the supreme court's action to overturn roe v. wade. >> thank you. the fbi is in sharp focus today on capitol hill. over allegations among republican lawmakers that the agency is too polarized. fbi director wray faced an

hours-long grilling. according to an nbc news poll just 37% of people view the fbi favorably, that's down from 52% five years ago. nbc news justice correspondent e ken dilainian has been following this. what did they lay out today. >> reporter: good afternoon, kate. they laid out a litany of degree vances accuse the fbi of spying on americans. of course treating donald trump unfairly. some of those issues are really distortions of mistakes that the fbi has acknowledged but instead of treating them as individual mistakes the republican caucus is painting a picture of a broken fbi that's doing the political bidding of the biden administration, take a listen to one republican lawmaker. >> the american people that we respect are losing count of the scandals that are mounting. . the fbi has been involved

they've seen evidence that's being used a political tool by the biden administration. >> words matter. they have consequences and when leaders lie or embrace this information that's dangerous. >> reporter: that was a democratic defending the bureau and talking about lies and conspiracy theories by the republicans and saying that's why so many americans are distrustful of the fbi. >> how did he respond to all of these accusations in. >> reporter: the fbi interestingly is responding in very detailed fashion to a web link. they're taing this very seriously. wray himself played it pretty cool. he got annoyed. he called it insane he as a registered republican appointed

by donald trump was leading an agency doing the political bidding of the biden administration. there's no everyday that the fbi has been politicized in favor of the biden administration. coming up, why being bored may actually be good for your kids but first time for today's daily snapshot. the loss of a very big wedding ring, not really, an art installation at a museum in italy. the ring celebrates his emotional marriage, in quote marks, to the city. to the people who live there. >> i'll maybe i'll pkic

welcome back. in today's modern parenting we're tackling boredom and why it's not a bad thing for your kids. 21% of parents don't know what to do when their child is bored. >> so, all right, where's the positives? some child development experts say it's actually better to let kids to figure out how to deal

with their bored feelings in their own way. here to talk about this is a clinical psychologist. kids say they're bored all the time. i'm bored. but what does that mean coming from a child in. >> so, when kids say they're bored, when they express boredom they're saying, they want some more time with mom and dad. they want more attention and that's their way of getting it. other times it might mean they want more independence in how they spend their time, if they're used to from going one activity to the next, they may be asking how they spend their free time or they want something new in their routine. they're calling out the fact that these have boring and they want something new. >> i love this so much, doctor.

i remember growing up, every time i told my dad i was bored, he said good, go do something creative. >> there's a lot of things kids can learn when they're bored. creativity and imagination. when kids don't have things to do they're forced to figure things out and try new things and use their imagination in ways they don't normally do and that can lead to something like self-discovery, they may run upon a hobby or a passion or a new interest. boredom can lead to self-discovery. most importantly boredom can actually increase a kid's resilience, their ability to tolerate uncomfortable emotions. it can be frustrating and hard. each time your child has to navigate those tough feelings they learn something they can apply to their future. >> when my kids were younger i

wrote a piece about today.com. i overscheduled my kids. i kind of saw it and tried to take a step back. where do you fall on that, doctor, about scheduling your kids too much? >> yeah, it's always about having a balance like it is with most things in life. important as parents that we make sure our kids are exposed to a variety of things so they get a sense of who they are and what they like. we should be focusing on building in that free time, that time where nothing is scheduled so they have an opportunity to explore their own interests. >> doctor, something you touched on, boredom may indicate the child needs a change in routine. >> i think, again, we're trying to avoid jumping in there and completely solving it for them. make sure our kids are prepared for dealing with boredom, which means before they ever say i'm

bored, trying to expose them to a variety of things so they know to what to do when free time hits them. and setting screen time limits. in general, because screens have a way of keeping us occupied without really making us do the hard work. >> screens are also a go-to for myself, when they were younger, when a kid would say i'm bored. at a restaurant, i'm bored. you hand the cell phone or tablet over to play games, is that not a great idea in. >> moderation. when we talk about things in a restaurant a short period of time, that's not that bad. it's okay. as soon as the food comes you put it away and they eat. >> briefly, what about grownups, we get bored, do we reap the same benefits, should we

embrace, too? >> absolutely. the rules go for us, too. it's okay to be bored. stillness is good. we should also take some time to relax and not plan too much. >> one of the best moments i wouldn't for a run and i stopped at one point and sat down with my dog. >> i love it. it's the small moments of life, really. >> doctor, really appreciate it. thanks so much lot more news ahead. >> you're watching "nbc news daily". okay, again, this is a status bar. this is a search bar. let's know the difference, okay? social mediaia, it can be e overwhelmiming for a yoyoung homeowownr turning g into theirir pa. what does s it mean to s slide into o someone's s? -mm. -it sosounds like e a lot of . okay, wewe're not reready for. as a team,m, we'll getet . okay, wewe're not reready for.

look into the circumstances around the escape, but we will also review our policies, our procedures, and our equipment, quite frankly, to ensure that something like this never happens again. >> he was initially arrested after a standoff ended with a hostage dead and a chp officer injured. he is due there court in a few minutes. we are staring down triple digit temperatures in the coming days. kerry laul is here with our steamy serve day fortest. >> into the low 90s and the same for tomorrow. another spike in temperatures is coming our way for friday. that's when we could see some triple digits around parts of the valleys and bay area. our temperatures peak on saturday, reaching 104. still very hot on sunday. it's going to be warm on monday as well. the temperature is coming down a few degrees. that cooling trend will continue through midweek. for san francisco, we are still

going to have milder weather here. upper 60s for the next couple of days. upper 70s as we see the warmer weather coming in on saturday. more clouds will bring the temperatures down on sunday. it continues to cool off through next tuesday. >> thanks. she will be back after the break with advice for

as it gets hot over the next few days, make sure you take care of yourself and pell around you. notice the signs of anything just off as we deal with the heat. heat exhaustion, the symptoms of that is heavy sweating or you may have weakness or fainting as well as pale or clammy skin or muscle cramps. that's when you need to get hydrated, move into the shade or move into the air conditioning. more severe is heatstroke. at that point, there may not be any more sweating. a throbbing headache as well as hot, red, dry skin or you may

lose consciousness. that's when you need to seek some medical help and call 911. we are going to have dangerous heat you need to pay attention to how you feel and make sure that you are taking care of any of those symptoms. >> thanks very much. really important advice. hot temperatures have been causing power outages. pg&e says don't expect too many. >> reporter: a spokesperson told me it may cause equipment to overheat and result in temporary power outages. for now, it's stable. >> we are not anticipating a public safety power shutoff event. if you experience an outage, that would likely be just a heat-related outage, not a psps event. >> reporter: they have equipment yards full and at the ready with crews prepared to locate and fix outages as quickly as possible. the utility company recommends keep your thermostat at 78 or

higher to keep your energy bill low, or just use a fan or let in cool air during the morning or night and keep shades closed during the day. during the day. emma goss, nbc bay area news. when you s smell the a amazg scscent of newew gain flining. time stotops. ♪ (musisic plays) ♪ yoyour heart r races. ♪ (musisic plays) ♪ ♪♪ ♪ ♪ (musisic plays) ♪ your eyeyes close. ♪ (musisic plays) ♪ and you rerealize you'rere in love..... steveve? ...w.with a launundry deterg. new gain flings.s. seseriously gogood scent.. and now,w, 50% more e fres. new gain flings.s. seseriously gogood scent.. that's lovove at firstst sni. new gain flings.s. seseriously gogood scent..
