hi, everyone. "nbc news daily" starts right no

trouble in paradise. massive wildfires engulfing the hawaiian island of maui. the intense effort to fight the inferno. ready to launch. preparations are underway for the first ever mother-daughter duo destined for the edge of space. and you will never guess what the mayor of tampa just brought in. and we'll investigate the viral challenge taking over tiktok. for signs you need to be on the lookout. it is dangerous. >> an important one, especially for parents. we'll begin with breaking news. the state of emergency has been declared in hawaii as wildfires burn in one of the most beautiful places in the world. flames and thick smoke are spreading across the island of maui. the coast guard said it rescued

people who jumped into the water to escape the fires. a maui county spokesperson is calling it unprecedented. >> an historic town popular with tourists on the west side of the island of maui is badly damaged. winds from a hurricane hundreds of miles south of hawaii are fueling these flames. nbc news correspondent mora barrett is there. what do we know about what is causing and it what are local officials saying about evacuations, damage across the island? >> reporter: yeah, kate, the entire emergency response team as well as the national guard has been activated in order to try to combat these fires. there are three major ones on the island of maui right now. and what it appears to be is that they could have started as small brush fires. the island is very dry right now. they've been experiencing some extensive heat this summer. that hurricane you mentioned is what they think is really fanning the flames causing it to grow to an estimated 1,000 acres or more.

it has been encroaching in residential spaces, tourist locations, so there has been active evacuation orders across the state. a red flag warning in play. because of that, that means that rescue efforts and firefighting efforts are limited because they can't fly the helicopters that can drop the water and firefighters on the ground are also facing limitations, trying to get around. we just got a statement updating from the governor commending the people working as hard as they can saying heroic efforts by first responders have prevented many casualties from during but some loss of life is expected. he said that he anticipates asking for a presidential disaster declaration in the next day as they get more details coming to life. right now, a lot of communication is limit on the island which mean we don't have a clear picture of damages or injuries or the loss of life that he mentioned. >> yeah. these images are striking. when most of us hear emergency in hawaii, we're not thinking about wildfires. we're thinking about volcanos

erupting. how unusual is it to see wildfires burning on the island? >> it's incredibly unusual. you mentioned the acting governor said that this is absolutely unprecedented. they're used to seeing flooding. they're used to seeing intense rain storms and hurricanes. but something of this caliber, and having tackled three major fires on one island is a challenge for the resources that they have. and for what they've tackled before. they're trying and asking for all the resources possible. this is under a red flag warning, at least through the early morning hours on wednesday. >> all right. thank you. two of the three people facing charges in a violent brawl on a pier in montgomery, alabama, have yet to turn themselves in. the city's police chief announced assault charges against all three men on tuesday saying they expect to bring more charges, too. you've probably seen the viral video on your screen. authorities say it all starts with case compute between a group of private voters and a

river boat co-captain who is black over a parking spot at a dock. lindsey joins us now. what do we know about the men who were charged here? what else are police saying? >> reporter: we're looking at four charges against three alleged aggressors. one is in custody. richard roberts is facing two charges for misdemeanor assault. there are two others, allen todd and zachary shipman. turned the in yet and the mayor is hoping they will do so by the end of the day. more charges could be possible as police investigate, but we do know that witnesses on the boat that was trying to dock tell nbc news, these pontoon owners are being asked for some 45 minutes over the p.a. system to have ma. they say this was entirely preventible and avoidable. it appears also that this brawl was divided among racial lines. we know the mayor who has said that there are allegations that racial slurs were being used. they say they're investigating.

right now, they say the evidence that they have doesn't meet fbi standards for a hate crime. here's what else he told msnbc today. >> it is certainly disappointing from everyone's view to see someone who is just doing their job, get attacked for doing their job. and i think the next few days of the investigation will tell us there was more to it than what we just saw in the video. >> the mayor said it appears it was an isolated incident and a group of bad actors not from the area. >> the video is hard to wash across the board. the police actually identified the co-captain, the black man who was attacked. what do we know about him? >> his name is damian pickett. witnesses said they saw him clearly visibly shaken up after this. they said otherwise he did appear okay. police are asking anyone with information to please come forward. >> thank you.

voters in the red leaning state of ohio have soundly rejected a ballot measure that would have directly diluted their political power. this issue attracted national attention as well as millions of dollars in out of state funding on both sides, and that's because it was seen to have direct impact on abortion rights. tuesday's republican sponsored measure aimed to raise the threshold needed to amend the ohio constitution to 60% of the vote. that was rejected, meaning the rules stay the same. only a little more than 50% is needed to change the constitution. now all eyes are on the next election ballot. and that's in november. ohioans will decide if abortion rights should be enshrined in the state constitution using the rules i just described. the capitol hill correspondent, ally vitali joins us from columbus, ohio. connect all these dots for us. basically, what does yesterday's

vote mean for this abortion rights vote happening in november? >> reporter: well, look, as a former graphics producer, i love the graphic that you just had up. it is why we had the ballot initiative as a proxy ballot. nothing said explicitly about abortion. if you look at the polling around the abortion measure set to come up in november, polling for that was showing that there was at least majority approval for that kind of protection for abortion access. and that's when legislators on the republican side came in and said they wanted to change the threshold of what it would take to put an amendment in the constitution. wanting to raise it from a 50% simple majority to a 60% threshold. yesterday voters squarely said they did not want that. it was a stunning amount of turnout. this is a dog days of summer, august election, in an offyear. in theory, voters should be tuned out and that was one of the concerns i heard from democrats on the ground.

in the end though, we watched more than 3 million ballots be cast by ohioans as they made clear in their minds, these issues were connected and now they'll look to november without those rules changing form amendment initiative. >> so given what you just that, all the turnout in august, what does that say for other states thinking about taking up an abortion rights resolution? >> reporter: look, nothing happens in a vacuum. and ohio is one of a string of states that we've seen in the aftermath after the supreme court overturning the roe v. wade press death penalty had previously provided the bedrock for abortion care nationally. as we've seen this go to the states, first last year we saw it in kansas. a red state that ended up siding electorally with abortion advocates. we've seen in it wisconsin in terms of adding pro abortion judges to the supreme court. now we're seeing it again in ohio in the aftermath of the 2022 mid-terms.

a red state going to the side of reproductive access. >> thank you. there is a new billionaire somewhere in florida today. >> after a whole 31 drawings with no big wins, a single ticket matching all six numbers was sold in florida in tuesday night's drawing for the record-setting, wait for it, $1.58 billion prize. it is the largest prize money in the game's history. the third largest u.s. lottery jackpot ever. >> what do we know about this winning ticket? what has been the reaction from folks you've spoken to? >> reporter: we know that the ticket was sold at this publix in north neptune beach. i've been speaking to the customers who have been coming in today. some are trying to figure out if they know a person that bought a ticket that could have won it. they tell me, a lot of people

who come shop here come from atlantic beach or neptune beach. it is most likely someone who lives in this community. of course, there is a lot of excitement to know this is the store where the ticket was bought. according to florida law, the winner cannot remain anonymous.

here are smft stories making headlines on "nbc news daily." at least 11 people are dead after a fire erupted at a

vacation home in france. it was located near the german border. it was hosting a group of people with disabilities. the fire broke out in the early morning. the cause of the fire still under investigation. we have an update on the controversy surrounding the singer lizzo. lawyers for three of the four dance here's filed suit against lizzo now say they're vetting new allegations from six other people who toured with the grammy winner. they accused her of sexual harassment, breeding an unhealthy work environment and weight shaming. lizzo has called the allegations against her false and unbelievable. and senator diane feinstein went to the hospital following a fall on tuesday. a spokesperson said all the scans were clear. she has returned home. she was hospitalized for shingles earlier this year. court records are revealing disturb go new details after the moments after a virginia elementary school teacher was

allegedly shot by a 6-year-old student inside her classroom earlier this year including what he said to the school staffer who restrained him. an game zwerner suffered gunshots to her chest and hand. the quotes from this boy are chilling torsion say the least. what are we learn about and from these new courts filings? >> reporter: we have a couple of new court documents obtained by our affiliate. the first is about what investigators were able to learn when they first got on scene. essentially after this 6-year-old boy, investigators say, shot abigail zwerner, his first grade teacher, they say he was restrained by a reading specialist at the school and she later told police, according to the documents, i'm going to quote these, i shot that b word dead, noting the document says he actually said the word. also, quote, i did it, and quote, i got my mom's gun last

night. you just saw photos of abigail zwerner. that's the first grade teacher shot in the chest and the hand by her student. she has since sued the school district, along with three now former administrators at that school for $40 million, saying they failed to protect her despite a known, wording from the lawsuit, known history of random violence and multiple warnings that the student had brought a gun to school that day. the former principal has come out and said, or her attorneys came out and said that she had no knowledge of the gun in school that day. the school district is declining a comment on this recent layer in this investigation in this lawsuit, saying they are working with authorities and that they prioritize students and staff safety. another devastating chapter in this awful story. >> and of course, the story caught the nation's attention because of how young this boy is. 6 years old. prosecutors declined to charge him but they have filed charges

against his mother. what is the latest in her case? >> we're declining to name her at this point because that effectively i.d.'s the boy. he was 6 when it happen. she has been charged with two counts, one of them felony child neglect. the other one a misdemeanor which is recklessly leaving a loaded firearm where a child could access it. she is expected to plead guilty to those charges next week. her attorney, also the attorney for the entire family, not commenting on it in light of these latest documents but we should note in the documents, she told investigators, according to one of the documents, that she believed on the morning of the shooting, her gun was inside her purse on top of hadder dresser. she believes it had a trigger lock on it. the key to that lock was you said her mattress. so that seems to be a big part of why investigators and prosecutors chose to charge her in this awful case. >> with the latest, thank you.

the city of tampa, florida, touting a major drug bust. 70 pounds of cocaine. you see it here. it was recovered floating in the florida keys. as for who found the drugs, it turns out it was tampa's mayor who is also a former police officer. nbc news correspondent steven romo is following the story. what happened here? >> reporter: yeah, a pretty surprising twist. she was out fishing with her family when her brother spotted debris in the water. they were fishing for mahi mahi and squid. they got this. 70 pound of cocaine. they called authorities and it got turned over to the authorities. she used to be a far the couldics officer so she knew pretty fast this was cocaine and not a lobster. >> we were on our way back in. my younger brother saw some debris floating in the water. as close as we got. i realized that it was a bail of

cocaine. from the time it had been floating in the water, some of the protective plastic had split, and so i could see from my days, or years in narcotics, i could see they were tightly wrapped kilos of cocaine. >> reporter: this is actually pointing to a much bigger problem. there were five instances in the past month of authorities finding, or boaters, finding drugs floating out in the water. in fact, the monroe county sheriff's office said it happens fairly regularly. they say don't bring it on to the boat. not stead, call authorities. >> unless you're the mayor and a former -- right. steven romo, thanks. well, a little more than a year after the u.s. supreme court overturned the right to have an abortion, we're learning new information about how the decision may be impacting the national job market. "nbc news daily" morgan joins us now. i know you got to look at a new study from indeed hiring lab.

they're examining how companies actually changed their policies for employees after roe was overturned. how has this actually impacted hiring? >> it's so interesting. a few universities jumped in on this study. it looks at companies that decided to look for help. company that would cover the cost of traveling out of state to get an abortion. they saw the an 8% increase. you look to the right of that line where it says 2022, people clicking on job postings compared to those that didn't offer it. it was roughly equal to 12% increase in actual wages, dollar to dollar bills. it was especially in female-dominated jobs, nursing and dentistry and childcare is what researchers reported. especially in states where it became illegal. but there was a down side. if you look at the screen. the same study found the companies had a drop in job

satisfaction. basically, the people making the decisions. so this was true in both red and blue states. >> really fascinating and we've been reading the tea leaves for a while, trying to figure out what would be the impact of the overturning of roe. we're not sure how it will play out. >> you're seeing it play out politically across the country. in short, they said indeed, chief economists are making the point while the study focused on one specific change, it does have broader implications. take a look. >> if you are offering jobs that are perhaps more democratically leaning states, or offering these benefits, you are more likely to see an increase in job seekers. particularly if you're trying to attract women or if you're

hiring for jobs heavily dominated by women. you might have a tougher time or you might receive fewer clicks if your job is located in a state that doesn't offer these benefits where you have much more restrictions in place. >> and another point that the researcher noted, these results are being driven by relatively high-paying jobs. that means that these benefits are not necessarily attracting the group most at risk. so we're talking a lot about low-income and medium-income people. >> thank you. a key v vote tomororrow by state board could extend self-driving taxis in california. two tech companies want to add more driverless taxi fleets in sasan franciscsco. not e everyone is on board. from our nbc bay area station, explaining what is driving the controversrsy.

>> no o hands on the wheel. >> i just requested our ride. >> more than 2,000 self-driving cars are in california. most have a test driver inside who c can takake overr whehen n. but hundreds of cars have no one in the froront seat a as they m deliverieses and shuttttle passengegers. it is one of the largest driving companies in manager. both are asking california regulators for permission to expand their services inside the state's largest testing ground. san francisco. so passengers can request rides 24 hours a day. >> you can't tell it what routes to take or streets to avoid. if you're used to being a back seat driver, you might want to find a car with a front seat driver. autonomous vehicles can detect closed streets, drive around double-parked cars and even pull

over for emergency vehicles. but getting chauffeured by a robot isn't always a smooth ride. state transportation records obtained by nbc news show self-driving cars have been involved in 280 crashes across california over the past five years. resulting in at least 64 injuries and a dead dog. that includes collisions with bicycling and buses. some accidents were caused by other people on the road, according to crash reports. how many is unclear from the data. but the cars have been cononfus by emergencycy scenes,, sometim caution tape or blocking trucks. but cruise says -- >> they don't get distracted or drive drunk. our vehicles are designed to, when they approach a situation, that they aren't sure about, they're designed to come to a

safe stop. >> you would acknowledge even coming to a full stop can create safety issues, too. >> so traffic stoppages are not something we want to have happen. >> hours after our interview, did it happen to us. we then invited a long-time driving instructor to join us on a second ride. about one minute in, our car was at a green light but wouldn't budge. >> it's a very safe situation for the car to turn. and just sitting here, i'm not sure why. >> the car inched forward but kept stopping. >> we're riding in between two lanes. >> then it hit the gas. okay. i don't know what it's doing now. >> our car drove straight toward the median and just stopped, picking up almost two full lanes. >> this is not good. people are honking at us. how does this compare to the

worst driving student you've ever had? >> this is much worse. >> cruise declined to sit down with us but in a statement said the car encountered an unexpected construction zone. that better course was for the ought only must vehicle to come to a straight stop rather than proceed. while other drivers cruised right past that closed lane, our car sat parked on a busy street for 20 minutes, causing a traffic jam for blocks. >> what is the reaction to being a driverless car stuck here? >> i'm not surprised. >> self-driving cars are being test in the at least 25 states. with no federal regulations, america doesn't have a national road map for safety maps. back inside our car, the cruise customer service contacted us when they detected a problem. their solution? they sent us a driver to get behind the wheel. nbc news, san francisco. >> fascinating stuff! coming up, what parents need to know about a dangerous new

tiktok trend called chroming. and how to talk to

do not do the chroming challenge. it has claimed the life of this sweet 13-year-old from australia. chroming literally makes your body go into cardiac arrest from sustained irreparable brain

damage. >> in today's modern parenting, we'll take a look and bring you awareness to this dangerous tiktok challenge you're hearing. it is called chroming. it involves inhaling vapors. it's not exactly knew. >> sometimes called huffing, it has been rahm for years. a 2020 report estimated about 683,000 teens between the ages of 12 and 17 reported using inhalents. this is a child and adolescent psychiatrist. thank you for being here. and on this important topic. so first off, for those who have not heard, what exactly is chroming. how does it work? >> it's basically, how you described it. people will inhale toxic arrow sols in order to get high or intoxicated from them. >> and we're talking about lots of different kinds of aerosols? not one in particular? >> whatever you can find really. sometime people will huff paint, deoderant, they'll huff

gasoline, glue. >> and they're doing it to get the high. >> right. >> so what is it doing? it sounds -- >> it sound like of course it will hurt you. what does it do to the body and the brain? >> so a couple things. one it can inhibit oxygenation of the brain and enter brain cells. when it does that, it creates a sensation of euphoria. in addition to that, it can cause dizziness, light-headedness. even in short term use, people can have damages that affect the heart, the lungs, the kidneys, and result in death and coma. even in short-term use, it can be quite dangerous. >> incredibly dangerous. why are young people doing this? >> one, it has regained public on tiktok and social media. two, there's a euphoria effect. and it is a cheap, easy way to get high. it is also really accessible. these products you can find anywhere, in grocery stores,

drug stores, in the cabinets at home. >> right. it's not like having to go buy an illicit drug in an ally somewhere. so for parents, if your child has a problem with this, if your teen is doing this, what do you see? will you recognize it in any way? is there a way to be aware for people? >> i do think that parents can be aware about this and i think they're very good at picking up changes in their child. if you notice their personality is changing, they're not maintaining their hygiene, they might be losing weight, if they're not socializing with friend or family members in the same way that they used to do, that is an indication that something is going on and it could be drug use or things like chroming or huffing. >> how do you recommend a parent approach their child with that conversation? >> yeah. that's a really wonderful question. it can start far before the time which people are at risk of using things like drugs and

alcohol. so on average, kids experiment with drug and alcohol at 14 and 15 years old. it is quite normal development to experiment. but we can talk to kids when they're very young about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. as much as we can about these dangers, they might make a different decision. >> and there are treatment options. >> yeah, get help. if you had there is a problem, make a call. >> talk you are with w your pediatrician, a health specialist that can help you identify the problem and come up with a different level of care. unfortunately, sometimes these come to the attention of medical come to the attention of medical professionals a littleoo t 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 like h humira or e enbrel,
