he was maui's top emergency response official. he failed to respond the emergency alarm, doing so by choice it comes as the search and rescue continues and families demand answers this morning, ten days after the deadliest wildfire in a century, the administrator fo maui's emergency agency has resigned his job, to head the department responsible for responding to disaster, citing health reasons. the move comes amid increased scrutiny over his qualifications and the decision to not sound emergency sirens as the fire broke out. >> if you want to talk, come up here. >> reporter: at a contentious press conference adaya defended the decision, noted the sirens are primarily used for tsunamis and may have led people towards the danger >> do you regret not sounding the sirens >> i do not. had we sounded the siren that night, we're afraid people

may have gone toward the fire. >> reporter: the cause of the blaze has not been determined. hawaiian electri is now facing at least four lawsuits the latest accuses the power company of years of negligent and reckless operation citing a 2022 funding request in which the company acknowledged the risk of a utility system cause in a wild fire ignition is significant. >> power line just went down. >> reporter: as videos like this appear to show power lines igniting small sparks before the main blaze began, the company says it will work with the officials on the review. >> fire crossing the road. not good. >> reporter: the fall-out over the cause of the fire comes as a new analysis estimates the island is losing 3,600 daily visitors, costing nearly $2 million a day. all of it causing uncertainty for local businesses are you at all concerned that this could be a devastating blow >> yeah.

san lucas. 145 miles per hour winds, moving northwest at 13. this thing has already doubled what we go as far as the definition for rapid intensification. so by sunday evening, late evening, we are looking at land fall somewhere in the southern california area as a tropical storm. but because this thing has rapidly intensified so strongly, it may make it as a hurricane. we will have to wait and see, but no matter what happens, whether it's a hurricane, tropical storm or remnants, we've got 24 million people impacted by flash flood watches and warnings right now all the way into parts of the southwest. and we've got a high flash flood risk from san diego up to three inches per hour. we're talking about rain fall amounts in the mountains of southern california up to 10 inches 5 to 8 locally and we may see isolated tornadoes as well as this comes inland, so we will be watching this very closely over the next

biden is hosting foreign leaders at cam david, which has been the site of critical negotiations in the past. >> let's talk politics for a moment the first republican primary debate is next week. couple of questions, whether we'll see donald trump and how the rival candidates are planning to address him, address each other >> reporter: good question look, former president trump continues to be a real wild card overnight he once again signalled he's leaning towards not attending. touting his high poll numbers, and now his closest rival, governor ron desantis, is also in the spotlight after a strategy memo was published by a super pac recommending desantis defend trump from attacks during the debate the desantis campaign says they weren't aware of this memo and, look, i'm told that desantis is bracing for a lot of attacks to come his way as trump's nearest rival. overnight, i spoke with aides for th candidates that will be on stage. there is no indication of any major strategy shift, which means former new jersey governor chris cristie could likely be the only one directly and forcefully attacking former

president trump. it's going to be interesting, savannah >> thank you very much. new developments tied to donald trump's criminal indictment in georgia. officials now investigating online threats against grand jurors in the case that's just days after a woman was charged with threatening the life of the judge. nbc' blayne alexander is in atlanta with the latest on all of this good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. here at the fulton county courthouse, the barricades and added security are in place. but no officials dealing with new safety concerns related to the grand jury that voted to indict former president trump in fact, the sheriff says in a statement that they are monitoring any threats and working with other law enforcement agencies to track them down. this morning, as the legal cases surrounding former president donald trump continue, there are new concerns for the safety of the judges and juries involved a texas woman was arrested and

charged with threatening tonya chutkan, the judge charged with overseeing trump's federal election case in washington, d.c. officials say the woman left the judge a threatening voice message filled with racist rhetoric he recently reposted criticism and thursday said this about this week's indictment in fulton county, georgia. >> i think they're sick people they have no idea the anger they cause. >> reporter: there the sheriffs office announced new safety measures saying in a statement, it's aware that the personal information of the grand jurors who returned that indictment is being shared on various online platforms. it comes after nbc news first reported that the grand jurors names and home addresses had been posted online on a fringe web site, with one user writing, these jurors have signed their death warrant. unlike federal court, and most other states, in georgia, grand jurors' names but no personal information are listed in the indictment, which once

unsealed, is public. for the fulton county district attorney, fani willis, security has long bee top of mind through her two-year investigation. she says she's received repeated often racist threats we asked her ant about them last summer have you had to up your security because of these threats >> absolutely. i signed up to be the district attorney, but i still have a life in front of me, and i want to lead it >> as mr. trump continues to attack the process >> they want to silence you. >> reporter: this morning a new announcement after promising to reveal what he called a report of voter fraud in a press conference on monday, he wrote overnight that press conference is now canceled and there is still no word on when the former president will come down to fulton county and surrender. hoda he and his other codefendants have until next friday at noon. back to you. >> blayne alexander for us, thank yo now to an alarming trend it has store owners and

officials saying enough is enough a slew of flash mob robberies and burglaries is playing out at retailers across the country the problem is especially bad in the city of los angeles. nbc' gadi schwartz has the story for us this morning. >> reporter: good morning. yeah it's becoming all too common here in l.a. the smash and grab robberies where criminals smash into a store, usually selling high-end goods, grab what they can and take off this last one, more than 50 robbers hitting the store at the exact same time. this morning lawmakers trying to take action amidst a surge of violent smash and grab robberies. >> our message is clear. those who commit these crimes will be caught. >> reporter: los angeles mayor karen bass announcing a new task force to fight retail crimes on the heels of several brazen burglaries in several weeks. >> no angeleno should feel like it is not safe to go shopping in los angeles. >> reporter: just days ago,

thieves made off with $100,000 at a gucci store in los angeles authorities estimating that haul could range from $60,000 to $100,000 while some critics argue the zero bail policy could be empowering criminals, the the district attorney george gascon disagrees >> we will use every tool available under the law when there is an arrest made to make sure that these individuals are held accountable. >> reporter: and it is not just l.a. smash and grab crimes have been impacting communities nationwide. >> they're going in stores just going out, just stealing stuff and nobody is doing nothing about it. >> reporter: including in illinois, florida and beyond in recent years with drugstores and pharmacies also major targets. last year in new york, 41 people were arrested in a multi-million dollar theft ring for swiping luxury goods and reselling them

on e-bay one poll found more than half of consumers think crimes like looting and shoplifting have increased during the start of the pandemic as shoppers call on elected leaders to do more >> it is a shame that citizens are just trying to do their regular shopping and are impacted by other people's poor decisions. >> now, as you saw from these videos, getting caught up in the middle of something like this can be terrifying. if you do, experts say, it is super important to stay calm, think about escape routes in advance. keep as much distance as you can between you and those robbing the store. get help as soon as possible call police. but you do not want to intervene. in cases like this one, robbers use bear mace on security. savannah >> ga di, thank you. got a lot more to get to, including this cases of covid are once again on the rise according to the cdc, they have gone up four weeks in a row, along with an increase in hospitalizationings --

hospitalizations nationwide. the biggest spikes down south, in mississippi, alabama and louisiana. let's bring in nbc news medical correspondent dr. natalie azar we're talking about a spike. how significant is this spike and how concerned should people be about it? >> let's put this into perspective. we have always expected a seasonality to covid, kind of similar to flu that we will see this ebb and flow of cases i think it is important to reinforce to the viewers and everybody out there that the absolute number is much much lower than at various different peaks throughout the year. but the trend is important this rise in cases that's being driven by strains that maybe have a transmission advantage over its predecessors, some waning immunity, but we're in a different place now. we have vaccines we have an anti-viral that works well. >> how do they know that cases are on the rise. a lot of people just don't even test anymore >> right case counts are no longer being used we know cases are being under reported as a proxy, the cdc is using hospitalizations as well as icu

admissions and also waste water. we know that over half of the samples across the country are showing a spike in cases >> what do you mean waste water? >> they test for the virus in the sewage and that's a sure fire way of knowing. >> i was worried that's what it meant. >> you had an inkling. you had an idea. never ask the question you don't want the answer to >> so if you want to protect yourself, we recommend the booster. should people get the booster coming up now? >> what we have said from the very beginning is keep an eye in your area on hospitalizations and icu admissions so you know what the amount of covid in your environment is always do that risk assessment you want to see what's my risk i'm sure everybody out there may know somebody with long covid, too. you may want to be more likely to get that vaccine or protect yourself to prevent long covid you might want to mask more or curtail your activity. regarding the booster, we know it will be available probably in the second or third week of

september. the cdc will make a recommendation about who should get it i can guarantee they will say older individuals, people with underlying immunocompromised conditions we'll see about a broader recommendation in my practice, it is a case-by-case basis i am not in this one size fits all. it's not going to work we know there is not a lot of enthusiasm for the booster in this country so we'll see what the uptake is and what the recommendations are. >> thank you. 7:17 mr. roker got a check of the weather. >> when it's out, natalie, will you come give it to me on the show >> yes. the booster. >> i thought you meant covid. >> no, the booster. >> i thought you wanted me to do the weather. >> well, that too. it will be a double whammy. anyway, looking at strong storms in the northeast. heavy rain through florida sunny and mild through the great lakes. going to be spectacular this weekend. and besides hilary, we have monsoonal moisture causing belly

this morning, his lawyers set to spar with the state of idaho over a number of critical issues as the prosecution pushes for a clear trial schedule, accusing the defense of stalling for time given that this is a death penalty case, do you think this trial will move forward on october 2nd? >> i think we'll get a real good answer from the court during these hearings >> the victims' families yearning for their clarity in a statement to nbc news, the family of kaylee goncalves saying they're hoping the judge will make some decisive and necessary decisions in order to keep this case on track for trial in october especially since the defendant has not waived his speedy trial rights >> i want our community to stand together, look at the evidence, come together, make a decision and then hold that person accountable. >> the defense is pushing the state to disclose more details about the dna found on the knifn

sheathe it alleges led them to kohberger. while the prosecution wants the defense to offer up more information about bryan kohberger's potential alibi. earlier this month, his lawyers allege he was out driving alone the morning the murders took place. >> the defense's alibi so far is pretty much indicating they don't have much of an alibi yet. and if they do present an alibi defense, it is probably only going to come from the mouth of their client whether or not they call him to the stand, that's the million-dollar question. >> reporter: and we expect to see some of the goncalves family in the court today others may be watching on the zoom the judge will be allowing families of the victims and the defendant to follow the proceedings virtually. savannah >> thank you we want to turn to our senior legal correspondent, laura jarrett. let's talk about this hearing today. what is the significance of it >> this could be critical. it will decide whether this trial happens at all

and if it does, whether it is ready to go by october of course, the defense wants to put this off for a little bit. they say they need more discovery. they say the entire process was flawed the grand jury wasn't instructed properly i think that's not a winning argument on the law. it seems pretty clear there. the prosecution has a strong case but i don't know that this can go by october. it's a death penalty case. there's a lot of discovery that has to be traded between both sides. his lawyers say they need more evidence on how they zeroed in on him with the dna. i think october could be pushing it for this case but they're not going to be able to delay forever. >> no. it may get pushed off more, but it is headed to trial, it appears. >> yes. >> what about this notice of alibi. but the alibi that they identify is him driving around alone. >> that's not an alibi >> i didn't think that was an al alibi because it's not provable. >> an alibi is i was in a different place. here's the receipts. not just i happened to be driving around that's what the state will be

arguing today. we need a little more specificity. of course, it is our burden of proof here as the state, they're going to say that if you have an alibi, give us the witnesses so we can talk to them. >> is there a chance there could be a change of venue obviously this is a small town everybody knows about this case. could the defense say there is no way to get a fair trial here? >> absolutely. we might see that. it's interesting we haven't seen it so far. again, there is a little bit of time left here they could say there's no way i could possibly given a fair trial given what's happened here, given all the attention, but we haven't seen that from the defense. >> if they say, okay, let's do a change of venue. it would be a change of venue in idaho. it's not going to be across the country. >> really this is a national case now it's gotten so much attention. many people have heard of it even outside of this small town. >> all right we have a lot more ahead, including why beatles fans can thank dolly parton for getting

very tight window. listen, they actually have three runways here but this is the only one, runway 119, that handles bigger planes, a boeing or an airbus. unlike other airports, they can't just shut this down for weeks at a time. so they have to do it every night chunk by chunk and every single night, the clock is ticking in the shadow of the washington monument and capitol hill, reagan national is rarely quiet. >> begin the way to american at the right, endeavor 5170 >> reporter: and runway 119 is america's busiest since it's the only one that can handle big planes at dca. 819 flights a day. but at 11:00 p.m. sharp, the flashing x tells pilots, reagan's longest runway is out of action. >> runway one closed. >> copy that runway one is closed >> reporter: and the pit crews start their nightly race against the clock, cutting and grinding a thousand feet of runway each night.

official he came under withering criticism for not surrounding those emergency sirens he said he chose that decision because he was concerned if he sounded those sirens which are often used for tsunamis, people hawaiian electric, the power company here in maui faces four lawsuits, a growing number seem sparked the fire, of course the official cause of the blaze remains under investigation. meantime, the search for the missing also continues here. about half of the search area has now been complete. the death toll stands at 111 but over the next couple of days,

earlier this month, offering a flat $3,500. this morning, general claims can now be filed survivors and their attorneys must fill out questionnaires and submit supporting documents. >> what kind of settlement should the survivors expect? >> claimants can experience settlements ranging from a low of $3,500 to a high of 2.7 million. >> reporter: who makes the decision about what price tag you put on someone's pain? >> that's a loaded question in the sense of there is no dollar compensation that will ever be adequate >> reporter: for tessier, it is a long time coming. >> it feels like a form of justice. i mean, it's a hard thing to quantify, the amount of abuse and the range of abuse, and the number of people involved with this, it's at least forced boy scouts of america to face it >> reporter: now, in a previous

statement, the boy scouts of america said we filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy to ensure that victims of past abuse in scouting are equitably compensated. our plan is to use this chapter 11 process to create a trust that provides equitable compensation but in this case, as in most abuse cases, just being recognized, the fact that people admit that it happened to them is a big, big step forward >> and a long time coming. >> oh, so long >> anne, thank you very much >> thanks, anne. let's switch gears now it may be august, but it is never too early to talk about football, so last night, the eagles and the browns kicked off week two of the nfl preseason. >> wide open >> it is wide open and it's a tough shell brady russell came wide open, mckee finds him for a 22 yard score. >> and then moments later, the eagles would tie the game on a two-point conversion, and that's

websites selling the active ingredients in diabetes drugs like ozempic and mounjaro. >> any time demand vastly outstrips supply, entrepreneurs will step into the breach. >> reporter: while nearly all of the websites have disclaimers that the ingredients are not for human consumption, some had instructions for how people could use the substances on their own. >> they're not verifying who you are and they do things like prefer to be paid in bitcoin. >> reporter: the paper also says at least 18 of the sites have run ads on instagram and facebook in recent months, including ones like these from saf research, offering huge gains and a buy one, get two free deal on their viles of semaglutide. facebook and instagram's parent company meta says they have removed ads for the sites on their platforms after being flagged by the journal telling nbc news in a statement reading in part, our policies prohibit the advertisement of prescription drugs without the proper authorization and approval

on its website, saf offers numerous disclaimers saying their products are not dietary supplements but instead research chemicals for laboratory use only but some are choosing to ignore these kinds of warnings. across the web sites the reviewed, the journal found a month's supply cost around $100 to $200 compared to brand name drugs like ozempic, which can rt insurance. laurie cost $1,000 a month without insurance. lori says she was prescribed ozempic for her type two diabetes last year months later she hit an insurance coverage gap making it too expensive for her. >> they said now it's going to be 754 dollars >> reporter: so she began taking research agreed semiglutide her friend found online for about $100 a month >> what's really in this what am i taking here? by the end of the month, i wasn't comfortable with taking it anymore. >> reporter: the fda is sounding off about the dangers of buying these online saying they advise

consumers to not purchase pep tides marketed as told for research use or mix, inject or ingest them. there are no approved generic versions and drug makers novo nordisk say they don't supply ingredients selling research substances. earlier this year, our nbc news investigation found more than dozen websites offering ozempic for weight loss. i experienced how easy it was to get these medications online at a low cost. with my request, i had my ozempic prescription by the very next day my producer also got a prescription no one ever saw us on video or in person and either of us have diabetic or would be medically defined as obese while it may seem easier and ever to get your hands on these drugs, experts say do so at your own risk >> i advise patients to steer clear of the online versions because we can't control the quality or the safety in those cases.

>> now, we reached out to saf research for additional comment. we have not heard back the website says they use different marketing tools and none of their ads make claims that would send the wrong message about their products saf also emphasizes, they do not sell supplements or medications of any kind. >> is there any effort to crackdown on these disreputable people selling these >> yes a number of these sites were taken down after the journal contacted them the fda in the past has taken action against these companies now what we're seeing is states are cracking down on the compounding pharmacies that are using ingredients to make copy cat drugs, but there are so many counterfeits out there, hoda and savannah, that novo nordisk launched semaglutide.com to help spot the differences of real and fake that's actually a good web site, a good resource to go to >> they want you to pay in bitcoin. that's a red flag. it's 8:17. have another check of the weather with al.
