now. today, thursday, july 13th, 2023, breaking now, ready to walk? we're moments away from learning whether hollywood actors will strike, what the breakdown in talks means for the movies and shows you love. sweltering and suffering, more than 80 million americans are boiling under heat alerts. how much longer the brutal temperatures could last historic decision, the first over the counter birth control pill. it takes a village, how some single moms are joining forces and why they say it makes them better parents. we begin this hour with breaking news from hollywood, at any moment now actors could head to the picket lines. >> negotiations between their labor union and major studios have broken down. we're expecting to hear from sag-aftra leaders shortly.

they could join the writers already on strike. comcast thehe parent compapany nbc universal is one of the companies represented by that group. >> nbc news correspondent gina kim joins us now. good to see you. what can we expect from this press conference, any clues about the sticking points are in these negotiations? >> reporter: absolutely, so, the number one thing that everyone's expecting from the press conference that's slated to begin at any minute now that a strike vote will be authorized. all morning long the board members of the union have been voting on whether to call a strike and when, are they going to join the writers guild, already striking all over hollywood at the major studios today, or start the strike tomorrow? rumor is the strike will be authorized to begin tomorrow and

all of a hollywood shuts down. hollywood has been crippled in a sense and reeling from the writers who have walked off the scripted shows meaning a lot of reality tv, you're seeing a lot of reruns already probably, but the actors were spared, now with the actors gone the largest union here in hollywood, a lot of pain coming for the entire industry as a whole. lot of things are at stake. it boilgs down to money. in this case, wages, they want more wages than what the streamers are offering. they're offering quote/unquote historic high wages for all of the actors involved. they want more residual from streamers and they want residuals so that the streamers don't say, people played this movie this many time, they want some accountability and

intellectual property rights in the form of language around artificial intelligence. >> jinah, you talk about reruns, for those at home, what does this mean for their favorite tv shows and movies? >> lot of summer block busters are set to be released those will be released. you won't see the red carpet events surrounding them. the actors aren't going to walk the red carpet premiere evens. oppenheimer, barbie, those are already in the running they'll hit movie theaters, but as for shows set to debut in september, if they've been edited you'll see them. if not, expect a lot of reruns, a lot of unscripted reality shows coming to you over the next six months. >> ji in, ah, thank you. now the extremely dangerous heat, making life unbearable from east to west. >> more than 80 million people are under heat alerts from

florida to california and miami has notched a whopping 32 consecutive days with the heat index of over a hundred. he maryland, one person is confirmed from heat exposure. there would be some relief when the sun goes down but that's not the case in arizona typically when the sun goes down there's relief but phoenix hasn't dipped below 90 degrees the last three nice. >> exposure to heat at night could make you more susceptible to heat illness during the day. >> bill care yips is here with us. marissa parra, how hot does it feel and how are people dealing with this heat right now. >> reporter: it's unbearably hot. what you won't see is kids playing at this playground. we're definitely seeing cars

driving around. people are inside of those cars. but we're not seeing people walk around. what we're seeing and noticing those cooling shelters are being put to good use now. the salvation army we visited they've seen max capacity several days, especially in the last week here, they said, obviously phoenix gets hot in the summer, they're used to having to open their shelter, but what makes this summer different they had to do this earlier and it's hotter than it has been before at least in recent recollection, they were talking about how they're delivering water bottles to people they see. they're delivering goods and services. heat relief packages to people who need it. the worst part of this is it's not even close to being over. expected to get even hotter this weekend. >> yeah, marissa, i'm hoping you're going into

air-conditioning now. let's bring in meteorologist bill karins, this heat is being driven by a heat dome, can you explain. >> in the winter time, high pressure brings you cool temperatures. in the summer it's the opposite. the heat is pushing down on you and the temperatures can soar. we have portions of 11 different states with excessive heat warnings including las vegas, phoenix, oklahoma city, dallas, sacramento is in it also, the hottest temperatures this upcoming period when this heat dome expands is going to be desert southwest, the area that the heat dome is going to be centered over, this time of year, the peak heating of the season, late july, middle of july, a heat wave at this time, that's when you can get some

all-time records. las vegas the all-time hottest record is at 117. phoenix you'll have chance to break the record. vegas, first the forecast on sunday from the national weather service, 117, that would tie the all-time record. then in arizona, phoenix, it looks like we're going the shatter that 18-day record. we're at 13. monday we should tie it. tuesday, break it. go even past that later next week. no end in sight to this record-breaking summer. >> it's unbelievable. thank you. we're following breaking medical news for the first time ever the fda has approved a birth control pill that doesn't require a prescription. >> it's been around this the u.s. since 1973, now it has the green light to be sold over the counter, that decision could drastically expand reproductive health access for women across the country.

>> dr. jessica shepherd will explain what we need to know about the pill. aria, why did the fda make this pill over the counter. >> this was a long overdue decision. over the counter birth control is available in more than a hundred countries. . the fda is acknowledging women should have more control over their reproductive health decisions and expanded access to a medication that could have strong benefits in terms of reducing unintended pregnancies. >> doctor, can you walk us some of the benefits and the ricks of o pill. >> this is something that's been on the market through prescription for 50 years, so when we look at safety and efficacy, it's safe when someone

takes it at the same time every daday. now when we look at complications, i think those would be unintended pregnancies, speckly, this is 2 out 40 of unintended pregnancies. this is a way off women having more access to contraceptive care and health access when they won't be able to get it. very important. very transformative the fact that we have this now over the counter. >> lot of people at home, where and how, where can they get opill? >> the cold water on this news is that probably won't be able to get it until early 2024. but the good news is, it will be relatively easy to get.

you can walk into your neighborhood pharmacy, pick up the pill and leave. we don't know how much it will cost. medical experts are hopeful that the price will remain low. >> thank you to you both. financial news the ftc is fighting to block that proposed merger of microsoft and activision. the ftc is not giving up the fight the block the merger of microsoft/activision. now, the ftc has argued that transaction is anti-competitive. aimson is calling its prime day sales a success. up from 300 million purchases from haas year

we're tracking breaking news out of pittsburgh the gunman in deadly synagogue shooting there is eligible for death penalty. the jury reached the decision after less than two hours of deliberations. 11 people were shot and killed at the tree of life synagogue back in 2018. the gunman was found guilty in his federal trial last month, nbc news correspondent rehema ellis is following the trial for us. rehema, this is part of the job given to this jury, right, can you explain what happens next? >> reporter: certainly, this was

a verdict they had to come to in two phases. first phase, they came to today finding that robert bowers is eligible to be considered for the death president. people responding in various ways as you can imagine, their community was torn apart by someone walking in, heavily armed and then slaughtering 11 of their friends and fellow jewish members who were just worshiping on a saturday sabbath. how are they responding in jeffrey fink el stein said this. >> this was an act of anti-semitism, not an issue of mental illness. >> the federation -- the jewish federation of greater pittsburgh doesn't take a position on the

death penalty but on people being held responsible for their crimes. this is considered the deadliest anti-semitic act in u.s. history. this same injury on monday will begin to hear arguments from both the prosecution and defense as to whether or not he should be sentenced to death or life in prison. >> rehema ellis, thank you. nearly an entire year after the ins tent the los angeles county sheriff's office has released body cam video showing a deputy punching a mother twice, holding her infant as she was being arrested. the case has been referred to prosecutors. steve patterson is following this story. before we start the footage viewers may see is a bit disturbing. we want to note that the l.a. county sheriff's office blurred and edit the video before

releasing it. can you walk us through this video. >> reporter: video from a year ago the current sheriff releasing video when he was not sheriff of this body cam what you're about to see is traffic stop, the aftermath of that, the driver didn't have their lights on, a male driver arrest td for that and for suspicion of driving under the influence in the car, they found three mothers with their infant children, no car seats, that's against the law, that's the reason they make this stop and they make these arrests, but during the arrests as you're seeing on screen, they're wrestling the infants out of their mothers' hands. one mother is struck with the baby in their hand. it's hard to watch but take a look. >> we'll take the baby one way or another. i don't want to be rude about it. >> if you guys have kids why don't you understand? >> i have never had a warrant. i don't have anything.

why can't i take my baby. >> are you ready? >> no. >> listen. >> i'm not aware that sheriff's station gives rides. >> if someone is stranded with baby the last thing we want them to get into a car -- >> reporter: in another incident a woman is actually struck while they're trying to take the baby from her. none of the women have been eye dent mied. recommended to the d.a.'s department. >> steve, it's rally hard to watch. how is the l.a. county sheriff's office responding now. >> reporter: again, this video released from a year ago, the sheriff now, sheriff luna learned of this just a couple of days ago and as soon as he

learned what happened he released this video to the public. here's what he said about taking responsibility. >> i ask our community to support good policing then it's incumbent on us to call out bad policing when we see it. >> reporter: the sheriff has recommended this to the fbi, they're investigating, he also sent it to the d.a.'s office for a possible criminal investigation, they say they're looking into it as we speak. back to you. >> a lot of questions here, i'm sure you'll stay on it. steve patterson, thank you. coming up the very latest from inside a london courtroom where kevin spacey the actor is defending himself against sexual defending himself against sexual assault legagations.al ♪♪ when y you have chchronic kidney disisease... therere are placaces you'u'd like t to be. like here.e. and d here. nonot so much h here. ifif you have e chronic kidney disisease, farxiga cacan help youou keep l living lifefe.

in meantime, he's back in jail, being held on a $1.2 million bond and he's facing serious charges, first degree murder, aggravated assault, we're learning more about what exactly happened inside that exam room, now, remember this is something that really when we talk about a crime it's egregious this one particularly so, the alleged gunman was a pay sent of dr. mauck, had an appointment inside the exam room to be treated. according the affidavit and a witness who spoke, he pulled a gun out and fired three shots at the doctor. she recognized the alleged shooter from previous times he had visited the clinic. certainly a lot that's going into this investigation. when i spoke to police chief in tennessee yesterday, he told me they're still trying to determine the motive. but just as we spent time

talking to people who knew dr. mauck, reading tributes to him we learned a lot about him, well-respected in the community, volunteers his time and somebody who was very dedicated to his family, his wife and his children, so certainly a terrible tragedy all around, kate. >> i'm sure the community must be mourning and are they holding any memorials for him at this point arranged in. >> reporter: there was one yesterday from what we understand. at one of the clins he served. they were closed through the day yesterday, closed in memory of him. he worked at the clinic at one of the clinics there in tennessee area, he worked at a children's hospital nearby, so certainly at lot of people in the community very touched by his work and grieving today, kate. >> blayne alexander, thank you actor kevin spacey took to the stand in london courtroom today, denying the sexual assault charges against him. first time the jury has heard directly from spacey during the

two-week old trial. he pleaded not guilty. nbc news foreign correspondent ali arouzi joins us now. can you take us through on how we got to this moment? >> reporter: this is a case of over a 12-year period when kevin spacey was the artistic director here and four men have accused him of various sexual assaults. 12 counts of sexual assault. yesterday the prosecution summed up its case and today it was his defense team to present their case to defend him and this is the first time that kevin spacey was in the witness stand. the alleged victims painted a very sordid picture of the two-time academy award winner.

one man who's an aspiring actor reached out to kevin spacey for advice in his acting career. he et up with kevin spacey, they went back to his apartment and he alleged that spacey drugged him and he passed out only to wake up to see spacey performing a sex act on, kevin spacey is denying these charges. he's saying that the sexual activity he had with various men was con sensual and the other charges are simply not true. one man he had a very close relationship with, friendly, loving relationship with. kevin said he was shocked that these allegations were made against him. nonetheless, these are very serious charges and we're expecting the defense to make their case over the next two weeks. tomorrow is going to be a very important day as well, because

the prosecution will get an opportunity to cross-examine kevin spacey and that's going to be a pretty hard cross examination. they'll be accusing him and grilling him over these allegations and we're going to see how the two-time academy award winner is going to defend himself in that cross-examination tomorrow against these very serious charges. at the end of the day what this boils down to is whether the jury believes kevin spacey or his alleged accusers and we'll know that probably in the next two weeks or so, at the beginning of trial the judge said he expects this to take two to four weeks. we're nearing the end of the second week. some sort of verdict will be reached in the next two weeks. lot of media attention on kevin spacey here as there is in the united states. it's a big case. made a lot of headlines. lot of media here. every day.

so we'll know what's going to happen pretty soon. >> all eyes on this one. really thorough reporting. new details in the case of a missing 14-year-old girl who was discovered in barracks of san diego's camp pendleton. blitz took a marine into questioning two weeks ago and now charges have been filed in the case. now that girl's family is demanding answers. >> reporter: questions mounting about a marine who was handcuffed and taken into questioning at camp pendleton after military officials said a missing 14-year-old was found inside his bar rck two weeks ago. >> reporter: her aunt now speaking out online. frustrated that the marine was areleased. >> unbelievable no matter how you put it. this is something is not right.
