hi, everyone. thanks so much for joining us. i'm zinhle essamuah. >> and i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now.

today, monday, july 17th, 2023. dangerous weather, at least five people were killed during flooding in pennsylvania. as tens of millions prepare for heat so stifling even cacti may not survive, how long the record temperatures could last. off the set. the impact the dual strike could have on the entertainment industry if a deal isn't reached soon. following bread crumbs, police in new york state are able to make an arrest in a notorious serial killer case a new hope for people dealing with the early stages of alzheimer's. welcome, everyone, to "nbc news daily." it's a very big monday for us here as we officially welcome zinhle essamuah as our new co-anchor. >> i'm so excited to be here with you and partner alongside

you, kate. lot of news starting today and every single day. >> much more on zinhle essamuah to come later in this hour. but we'll begin with two major developing weather stories right now the extremely dangerous heat and another round of deadly flooding in the northeast. >> in pennsylvania, crews are assessing the damage after flash flooding caused by torrential overwhelmed parts of the state over the weekend. five people were killed. among the dead a mother of three, two of her kids, a 9 month old boy and a 2-year-old girl are still missing. search teams are out in full force again today. to try to wring them home. >> at the same time, it's another day of oppressive heat for a large swath of the country at this hour, more than 70 million people are under heat alerts. >> let's bring in nbc correspondent emilie ikeda and marissa parra. we'll start with emilie, you're

in pennsylvania, we just learned some new information about those children. >> reporter: breaking information in the last hour or so from police, kate, we're learning the identities of the two young children that authorities are urgently is searching for, matilda shields and conrad shields. we know their mother, 32-year-old katie seely tragically perished on a road much like this, flash flooding set in overtaking their car. the mother again tragically dying. now they're urgently searching for those two young ones over a widespread area, they're looking a quarter mile here on the delaware river. on foot exploring reones include wrg i am now, drones, sonar technology, pouring as many resources as day can as we're

seeing relief for those dangerous downpours. >> we have search teams assisting us from delaware, chester, parts of bucks county, new jersey, we have deployed units, air assets, underwater assets, this is going to be massive undertaking involving the cooperation and coordination from agencies throughout the state and the region. >> reporter: i want to show some video to give you a sense of how vicious that flooding, that waterway was in parts of bucks county as we reported at least five people trgically dying in the flash flooding. you see what's left here on the ground in bucks county, this completely buckled roadway that will take a decent amount of time to repair the creek over me, that's typically where it lies now the water line the

debris all the way up here actually pushing the guardrail in and that's how high these floodwaters came through the area. >> your reporting shows how dangerous this all can be. marissa parra in arizona, the forecast high there is 115 degrees. how are people coping in. >> reporter: yeah, i mean, it's hot. a different kind of danger out here, we know what emilie was describing its own type of danger, out here it can be deceiving, people from phoenix, arizona, it gets hot but not for this many consecutive days. if you're going from your car to the house may not be that bad. make no mistake this is deadly. we got a chance to bo inside of an e.r., they're already using overflow, putting a strain on them because they're seeing all kinds of heat-related injuries range prg heat exhaustion, heat

stroke, third-degree burns and what you're looking at right now on the screen are physicians, med staff putting together an ice bath because some people are coming in with internal temperatures of upward 107 degrees, one man who died a few days ago had a temperature of 110. those minutes are crucial when they're trying to cool them down. it's not just the med staff, it's first responders, when we talk about the consecutive days this is expected to last through the weekend. >> wow, marissa, thank you. let's go to bill karins, it does feel like this heat wave is never-ending. what's the outlook for this week? >> this is like week three or four, we hit the crest this past weekend but it's not like we're coming down in a wave, very gradual, all of the real

oppressive stuff was in the west. las vegas almost hit 117, 116, one degree away from your all-time hottest temperature. today, 114. back down to typical hot vegas weather around 110 to about 112. the phoenix area, obviously we'll break that 110-day streak that's today. what really gets me about phoenix it's not cooling off at night, 90 degrees or warmer the last time that phoenix dropped below 90 degrees was july 9th at 9:13. 190 hours in a row of being 90 degrees or warmer. today we'll be near record highs in many areas, tomorrow, we'll shift things toward areas of the south, alabama even has a chance of hitting 100 degrees tomorrow. >> bill karins, marissa parra

and emilie i kooed ya. the first full week of picketing for thedownon that represents 160,000 actors and performers, they join members of the writers guild who have been on strike for two months now. >> from los angeles to new york city, we should note nbc universal's parent company comcast is part of the organization that represents the major entertainment studios. let's bring in lindsey reiser here inew york city, what are the actors telling you about their decision to strike right now. >> reporter: they picketed from 9:00 to 1:00 today. they'll be back tomorrow. you mentioned l.a., hawaii, they're picketing there as well. many sticking points here,

talking liveable wage, issue of residuals and issue of a.i. i've been talking to actors all day here and they tell me when they think about this industry, they think of the tom cruises, that's the top 1% that are making that kind of money, everybody else is out here trying to make a liveable wage. >> we're 90% working-class union. day support us because they came up the same way we did. >> reporter: the alliance of motion picture and television producers released a statement last week, day said this is a union's choice, not ours.

whether than gathering to negotiate they put on a hardship -- right now, there are no breakthroughs over the weekend, no schedule for negotiations, the actors i spoke to they'll take it as long as it takes. >> lindsey, thank you. we've been talking a lot about how this strike could impact our favorite shows, tv shows, movies, how serious of a financial hit could these dual strikes bring to the entertainment industry as well? >> reporter: i mean, we're attacking about a massive potential impact not only on the l.a. economy but also in other places around the country where productions traditionally take place, there was some productions that were still finishing up and still trying to shoot without writers, but you can't shoot without actors. this combined strike could cost an estimated $4 billion to the

national economy only if the strike is resolved in the next 30 to 60 days. if it goes on longer than that the financial impacts could be much greater. the thing that we're seeing here, actors and writers striking together behind me it's everyone who working on the set, really a massive impact to the l.a. economy and other places such as atlanta and new york. >> all right, thank you so much. we've heard about shows stopping and movies shutting down production as well. >> a popular airline has reached a deal with its pilots and get your texting fingers ready, today, i didn't know this, is world emoji day. >> steve with cnbc money minute. pilots at united airlines will see pay increases up to 40% over the next four years, the airline announcing a preliminary

labor deal this weekend, ending months of tense negotiations and airport pickets it comes months off months american and delta negotiated higher pay. the head of the union representing some 340,000 u.p.s. employees asked the white house to stay out of it if the workers end up on the picket line. they're working against a july 31st deadline to come up with a contract or face a strike that could amount to billions of dollars in losses. like you guys said it's world emoji day. why use words when you use a icons to get your message across. also in top five the red heart and prayer emojis. >> the salute is very popular.

>> my older kids have stopped me from using emojis altogether. >> we love emojis here. coming up, how one sailor and his dog managed to survive months stranded at sea. plus, what police are hoping plus, what police are hoping to learn somedays, , i cover upup becae of my momoderate to severe e plaque psosoriasi. now i fefeel free toto bare my skikin, thanks s to skyriz. ♪(uplplifting mususic)♪ ♪nothing g is everyththing♪ i'm celelebrating my c clearer skikin... my wa. with s skyrizi, 3 out of 4 4 people achihieved 90% c clearer skikin at 4 m months. in anothther study, , most peoe had 90% % clearer skskin, even at 5 5 years. and skyrizizi is just t 4 doss a year, afafter 2 stararter dos. seserious allelergic reactcts and an incncreased ririsk of infefectis

we have an amazing story to toll you about a rescue after months at sea, a stranded sailor and his dog were found in the south pacific ocean, they departed from mexico three months ago, a storm apparently damaged his cat ma ran one month into the journey wiping out all of his electronics. steven romo is following this one for us. >> reporter: just amazing stuff here, kate. i'll never complain about my travel woes again after hearing this. two m months lostt at sea the sm they were in,, knonocked out communicications. theyey were ablee the surviveve by eating raw fish and drinking rainwater, he was also able to avoid severe sun burn using clothes and hats that he had onboard. he's from australia, this happened as they were trying to

mexicoco too f french popolynes. the b boat managed to stay aflo. this area in south pacifific ocn is j just massssive, a a real n in t the haystack-type situatio a lot of luck to be found. day got that in the form of tune ya fishing vessel.. the crerew s spotted them a and them bototh onboard, a doctor w trtreated him t telling 9 news auststralia thatt he has normal vital signs and the dog appears to be in good health. he told the channel he's not had enough food for a long time. quote, i'm just needing rest and good food, hopefully he and bella are both getting something delicious, hopefully something other than fish this time around. >> yes, those images that we have from 9 news us a drwal are unbelievable. i can't believe did that but good for him and the dog.

>> he looks like he's been through something. >> but alive and well. a nationwide manhunt is over. an inmate who's taped from pennsylvania jail has been captured. a couple spotted burham on their property, all thanks to their barking dog. george solis joins us now with the very latest. you spoke with that couple, what did they say happened? >> reporter: that's right, they're as flabbergasted like everyone else. their dog labrador was hanging out, goes into the creek in their backyard, starts barking, they inspect and they find the escaped inmate michael burham, they call the authorities. he's now here at thor erie county prison. they knew that this suspect could have been armed and

dangerous in hindsight maybe they wouldn't have gone and checked him out. >> we get in golf cart to see what he's barking at and we go down to the creek and he's still barking, the gentleman stands up. i said, what are you doing? he said, i'm camping. >> reporter: crucial answer to what he asked and so they called 911. the police got there, about 200 law enforce. officers already in the area looking for him for a week, this is the guy they wanted people to keep an eye out. big question, was whether or not he had help escaping the warren county jail? >> george, it's rally incredible. the couple was very matter of fact, how did they feel realizing it was him. what happens next to burham. >> a moment of shock for them. they recognized him for the

images on tv. they saw his tattoo, raced back home, called 911. he's going under a psychiatric evaluation, he's not allowed any bed sheets he used to escape from the other jail, he'll be value waited by the feds and they'll decide whether he'll stay here or be relocated to another prison. coming up, how investigators managed to hunt down a suspected serial killer after more than a decade. you're watching "nbc news daily." >> we're streaming free 24/7 on nbc news now. nbc news now. watch us wherever you ♪ it't's the e most wondel time of f the year ♪ ♪ ♪ it't's the e most wondel time of f the year ♪ non-n-drowsy clalaritin knocksks out symptptoms from ovever 200 allelergens. non-n-drowsy clalaritin knocksks out symptptoms withthout knockiking you out. feel the c clarity and mamake today withthout knockiking you out. the momost wonderfrful time of t the year. withthout knockiking you out. live clalaritin cleaear. oh, hellllo! h!

♪♪ voltaren. the joy of movement. ♪♪ good monday, everyone. this is the fast forward. the heat wave this weekend had many bay area firefighters on edge worried the hot temperatures could fuel wildfires. bob is in the hills above dublin. >> an important reminder from firefighters, if you see smoke or flames in the hills near where you live, don't assume someone's already reported that. they want you to call 911 immediately. fortunately, there are no reports of fires in the bay area. this is the scene in sacramento where cal fire fought a fire. that fire believed was started by lightning.

according to a tweet, the firefighter stopped progress and had it 50% contained. the agency will be onsite all day. that sounds like a lot of resources for such a small fire but we're aware of how they can grow into monsters like the deadly fires we saw in the north bay over the past several years. something that santa rosa fire department is very familiar with. yesterday, that agency sent out this video of lightning striking over the north bay. no reports of any wildfires as a result as i mentioned but an important reminder that the threat exists. especially during this heat wave. we are now learning about new power outages in the east bay according to the online pg&e outage map. there are now roughly 3,000 customers without power in pleasant hill. that as of 10:30. you can see on the map there's other smaller instances but the big one is in pleasant hill and as we are aware, there were more outages over the weekend that pg&e has been working to

restore. here in dublin, nbc bay area. eviction moritoriums have ended in oakland and housing advocates for concerned. emoryville police are looking for bank robbers. scott shaw is accused of sexually assaulting student athletes. it happened as far as back as 2009. if convicted, he faces up to six years if in prison. police are hoping these images can help track down four violent armed robbers. they were involved in in a robbery in aback of america parking lot yesterday. these photos of one of the suspects and the alleged get away car. a hyundai sedan. if you know anything, please contact emoryville police. and finally, housing

advocates in oakland are worried about a surge in evictions with covid era moritoriums running out. that means landlords will be allowed to take tenants to court over unpaid rent during the past three plus years. housing advocates fear it may lead to a spike in homelessness. the worst of the heat wave is behind us but there are still some high temperatures lingering. today, our high temperatures will range from 60s near the coast to mid-90s for the interior valley. we're still looking at a big range in temperatures even with the short drive across the bay area and in fremont, expect it to reach 86 degrees while oakland will see a high of 77 and tomorrow, it comes down even more. a nice cooldown as we get a stronger ocean breeze. more coastal fog and we'll see temperatures in san francisco in the mid-60s.

by wednesday, we're seeing milder weather and very seasonable for this time of year but it heats up again in time for the end of the week. we'll check that out in our seven day forecast in about 30 minutes. >> thank you, kari. put another trophy in the legends case. stephan curry won the american century golf championship yesterday in lake tahoe in dramatic fashion. that was the final hole. he sank the 20-foot hole for an eagle and the coveted championship. the tournament is normally won by retired athletes or celebrities that have time to practice golf year around. he's the first active athlete to win the championship since the year 2000. santa clara county is looking to expand access to its public meetings. the county plans to launch a web portal as soon as next month. this is being done to comply with the brown act. the new online feature will

pennsylvania early this morning forcing people nearby to evacuate, the trains were carrying different chemicals. the train's owner said the cause appeared to be weather related. democratic congresswoman jayapal is apologizing for comments she made on sunday characterizing israel a, quote, racist state. the remarks were made in response to pro-palestiian protesters who disrupted a panel discussion at a conference over the weekend. her comments drew criticism from both sides of the political aisle. music news, taylor swift has made history once again, she's the first woman to have four albums on billboard's top ten list at the same time. her latest release debuted at number one the other three

albums are midnight, lover and folklore. there are growing questions today surrounding the disappearance of a young woman in alabama, carlee russell vanished after she pulled over to call 911 reporting seeing a toddler walking along an interstate, but now more than 48 hours later she's come back home, she's safe with her family. nbc news correspondent priscilla thompson has been following this story all weekend. lot of questions and confusion. >> reporter: kate, we know that police have now been able to account for all of carlee russell's movement up until she made that 911 call and vanished off the interstate for more than 48 hours, she returned on saturday night on foot and alone showing up on the doorstep of her family home, but there's still no answers about what happened during that more than 48 hours that she was missing.

today her family and the community grateful to have her back here. i spoke with angela harris who led the search efforts on the ground here about her reaction the all of this. i want to play a bit of what she shared with me. >> i'm so thankful that she's home safe. >> you spoke to this family, what did they say. >> et was kind of a very emotional phone call. i just broke down and i said, is she okay? she said, i don't know, she seems to be okay, she seems to be in shock. >> reporter: so certainly a lot of gratitude here and a lot of questions about what actually happened and where she's been and also that 911 call that started it all. >> do we know anything about the missing child she reported when she made that 911 call snr police say no one else called to report a toddler on interstate.

since then no reports of a missing child, that's another one of the mysteries in this investigation, i did ask police about that, they say they're looking into that and they have had one opportunity to speak with russell when she was admitted to the hospital when she first returned home but they're hoping to speak with her again in the coming days as this investigation continues. kate. >> priscilla, thank you. new details in case of a suspected serial killer believed to be hind a series of murders on the long island. they spanned more than a decade and made national headlines. authorities now say that dna helped lead to the arrest of rex heuermann. he's pleaded not guilty to the charges. rehema ellis joins us now with the latest. what more are you learning about the police work on this case? >> reporter: we heard from authorities today, saying that they had searched his home and we know that much, but we didn't

know authorities saying they found over 200 weapons in a vault in the basement of rex heuermann's home, they said simply that's concerning, they don't know if that's connected with the case at all but it's concerning to authorities as they continue this investigation, not only at his home but also into storage self-storages he had in two different locations looking for any kind of evidence that may continue to connect him with this investigation that's ongoing. because while he's charged with first degree murder in three murders. he's a suspect in a fourth. >> of course this is all decades in the making, what are we hearing from his attorney right now. he's entered a not guilty plea, correct in. >> he absolutely has. his attorney said his client is

innocent until proven otherwise. there's nothing about mr. heuermann that would suggest that he's involved in these incidents. it's a mystery per some neighbors around the community where rex heuermann lived in the home apparently according to the neighbors where he grew up and where he lives with his wife and two adult children. >> rehema, what are we hearing. the victims' families in. >> nothing, it's been silent from the families. as you can imagine they've not been seen in the area from what we're told, because their home is being constantly searched by the police, they're not there, they're keeping silent. the only word we're hearing in reference to the suspect is coming from his attorney. >> thank you so much. politics now, the campaign of florida governor desantis

going through a bit of shakeup, nbc news confirmed he's fired roughly a dozen campaign staffers, all comes as desantis is struggling to break into former president trump's lead in the polls. jonathan allen joins us from washington. everything i just said not exactly encouraging, what can you tell us about the shake-up? >> reporter: certainly not encouraging kate, let me congratulate you and zinhle essamuah on this dream team. >> the dream team, thanks. >> the problem he's got is that he stalled in the polls, he had a huge launch, raised about $20 million in six weeks, he stalled out. as a result of that you're seeing contributions come in at

a slower pace than before. he burned about 40% of the money that he raised. two-thirds of the money he raised came from what are called maxed-out donors. this is all problematic to the point that he's having at least a little bit of shakeup, firing some of his aides. we heard from a spokesperson for him. the spokesperson said defeating joe biden in the $72 million behind him will require a nimble and candidate-dr campaign and we're building a movement that will go the distance, now, it's a big question what kind of candidate campaign they were going to run if not a nimble and candidate-driven one. as you can tell from polling recently, desantis is in second place, a very distant second

place. trump at about 54% and desantis at 20%. >> i've covered a hot of campaigns myself, sometimes you think someone is down and they're back up, things can change, right, have other campaigns shed staff and come back in. >> joe biden was in a huge cash crunch for a loft the 2020 campaign, his campaign was talking about extreme measures to make payroll, he came back and won the south carolina primary, won super tuesday, won the nomination and won the election. things can change in politics pretty quickly. >> kind of what it makes fun for guys like you. thank you so much. someone out there could be hours away from becoming the multimillionaire, no one won the powerball drawing on saturday and that's sending tonight's jackpot soaring to $900 million,

maggie vespa tells us that's the third highest powerball jackpot of all time. >> the odds just for powerball alone, one in 292 million, so we'll say slim to say the least. just powerball alone, as you said, $900 million. this time around, up for grabs. if you take the lump cash sum. that's $465.1 million. also with powerball, take home smaller lump sums. five numbers, a million dollars. 4 numbers without the powerball, you can take home $50,000. tomorrow night, there's mega millions. we have tickets for both at this point here in illinois, in part because last year again here in illinois, a resident took home a

welcome back. in today's daily health. after the fda approved the first-ever drug to slow the progression of the disease, soon another treatment option. >> that new one could come with higher rates of dangerous side effects. you've been tracking this for a long time. let's start with the environmental drug, made by eli

lilly. >> it's very similar to leqembi, people are given a month willy infusion of this drug, trying to remove the plaque, after 18 months there was a slowing, people experienced a slowing of the disease after 18 months. so what that meant in terms of like practical time is, about 7.5 additional months of time, overall the slowing was 29%, but in some cases it was higher, about 350% to 36% slowing. >> doctor, with all that said, how is this new drug different from leqembi in. >> yes, they're really not different. they both target amyloid in the brain. this drug removes or targets the plaque in the brain.

something that was interesting in the drug this drug was so effective that people are actually able to stop taking their medication about six months to a year, which is important because that reduces the risk of side effects and can save patients money. >> side effects with the first leqembi. we reported on that together for "nightly news." concerns with the eli lilly drug with side eks. >> yes. there's concerns with this medication as well. this drug and other drugs in class comes with side effects come with brain swelling and brain bleeding. 37% of people in the trial developed brain swelling or brain bleeding. as you recall for the leqembi three patients died as well. that led the fda to issue a pretty serious warning label when leqembi was approved. >> clarify, similar amount of

side effects for these drugs in. >> for this are drug it's slightly higher. with leqembi it was a little bit lower. with this drug it's marginal. >> how soon could a person at home get access to this medication. >> it says it expects approval by the end of the year and so we don't know yet how much this medication will cost, which is also very important, that information doesn't come out until after the fda approval. medicare said they'll cover the cost of this medication, which is important, because they're quite expensive. leqembi costs $26,000 a your. >> our health and medical reporter, thank you so much for it really exciting day here at "nbc news daily." we're so thrilled to officially watching zinhle essamuah onboard as our new co-anchor.

from that cabinet parked in a store credit. cynthia wanted that money back in cash. but she told us amazon said no so she asked us to look into her case. we contacted amazon. amazon told us that its customer service reps talk to the customer and we were able to make it right by refunding the remaining amount to her card. that is $99.78 back to cynthia. it's easy to buy online with just a few clicks. cynthia's case is a good reminder. double check your form of payment before hitting purchase. if you have a refund request that needs an extra nudge, let us know. scan the qr code on the screen to fill out our consumer complaint form online. >> thank you, chris. let's go over to the coast where the mischievous otter saga continues. here's new video posted to twitter over the weekend aporing
