nbc news daily starts now. >> today, thursday, august 24, 2023. breaking news. surrendering, former president trump planning to turn himself in to georgia officials in prime time, the scene outside the jail and whether or not we will see a mug shot. >> deadly shooting. four people are shot and killed at a popular biker bar in california. what weave learned abouter and the possible connections to law enforcement. >> after 20 years behind bars, the btk killer is imnahhed the prime suspect in two more case e where they happened and the role the killer's daughter may have played in connecting him to these murders and reunited, the amazing video as a man reunites with his long, lost mother over 40 years after soldiers ripped him from her arms and told her she was actually dead. a great stoer to get to later, but first, breaking news.

>> the former president will turn himself in at the fulton county jail. the fulton county sheriff's office expects to release a mug shot of mr. trump after he spoke. >> mark meadows turned himself in earlier today. he is one of the 11 people to be booked so far. meadows and the former president are among 19 people charged with trying to overturn the 2020 election results. the fulton county district attorney wants to start the trial for everyone on october 23rd. nbc news national correspondent gabe gutierrez joins us now from outside the fulton county jail. gabe, let's start with mark meadows. what do we know about his sur surrender and what do we expect when former president trump arrives later today? >> mark meadows turning himself in at the fulton county jail just a short time ago. his bond now set for $100,000. he is just one of the defendants that is expected to surrender

over the coming hours and by noon tomorrow which is the deadline the d.a. fani willis has set or else a defendant that has not turned themselves in tomorrow will be arrested. so again, the other breaking news according to a court filing, the d.a. also said she's pushing for a start date of this trial and the sweeping trial to start on october 23, 2023. less than two months away. legal experts say that is highly unlikely and it came in response to a filing earlier this week by another defendant in this case that was asking for a speedy trial. so again, later today we expect former president trump to arrive in atlanta. he's booked and processed at this fulton county jail and he'll be fingerprinted and unclear whether a mug shot will be taken. people will be expecting that and it is unclear whether that will happen and so far the other co-defendants in this case have had their mug shot taken and this process could take a little less than an hour or perhaps an

hour and a half. it's been the longest of the processes that these procedures have taken over the last couple of days. again, we expect the former president here in prime time. >> we were just looking at some images of what appeared to be trump supporters out of the jail there. can you set that scene for us and what are those people saying? do they plan to stay through the evening? >> well, there have been several dozen trump supporters that showed up at the jail. we have seen an increasing security presence and sheriffs deputies put be up a barricade behind me, nothing unruly, but we have spoken to some of those trump supporters. >> he's being persecuted. they tried to impeach him twice. now they've been trying to deny him four times. they're trying to eliminate him from the ballot box by convicting him of something in all of these states.

>> so again, several of mr. trump's supporters have been here throughout the day. there might be some more that show up throughout the afternoon. he's expected to turn himself in again tonight in prime time. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you. >> let's bring in nbc news legal correspondent laura jarrett. the president changed his lawyer before he's going to georgia and he's done this before with the classified documents case in florida. >> he was supposed to turn himself in tonight and he's changing his lawyer with hours to spare. >> what do you make of it? >> it's unclear if the person was forced out. he didn't want to do anything to do with the case anymore, who really knows? what it signals is a level of chaoticness with this entire process, but of course, he still does representation and the person he's being represented by, and very well known in

atlanta. >> and has represented usher and the like. >> interesting. can we talk about mark meadows for a little bit? former white house chief of staff because he turned himself in today and tried to avoid this and kind of was creative, legal tactic, i guess? that's usually used in civil cases and he's done that, what is the takeaway if you can read the tea leaves for us. try the best or it just doesn't work. >> the judge wasn't buying it and he's trying to get into federal court and he thinks that's the more favorable venue for him and he will have an opportunity even though the judge said you'll have to turn yourself in today. the judge will hear evidentiary hearing on monday in the case about whether he can get the entire case moved to federal court. both he and jeffrey clark, also part of this alleged scheme also wants to get it moved to federal court. else has asked for that so far.

we know brad raffensperger in the center of that infamous call, mark meadows might take the stand in this case. monday's hearing will signal a lot about where the judge's head is at on this. >> we have to focus on the trial date with the fulton county d.a. >> that's what the attorney seems to be saying. >> ken chesebro, the architect of the fake elector scheme said i want a speedy trial. nobody else has asked for that. you can ask as to what his strategy is there. the d.a. says you want a speedy trial? fine. let's go in october. now the president says i don't want to go in october and is now asking to have a hearing and guaranteed he does not want this trial to go in less than two months. >> it's two months away. laura jaret, it will be a long night for you. thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. >> he is set to surrender at the fulton county jail tonight. nbc news will bring you a special report. you can watch it on your local nbc station or stream live on

nbc news now. eight republican presidential candidates are hoping to gain some momentum today after sparring in their very first state. last night in milwaukee the candidates looked to create viral moments, entrepreneur and newcomer vivek ramaswamy took much of the incoming fire. >> i've had already tonight of a guy who sounds like chatgpt standing up here. >> former president trump who is leading by a large margin in the polls stack this debate out and his rivals were careful to either defend him or tread carefully around him. nbc news correspondent dasha burns joins us from milwaukee. dasha, there were a number of standout, fiery moments in the debate last night. talk us to about ramaswamy and ron desantis both seeming to have fairly good nights? >> yeah.

two candidates that are quite different. vivek ramaswamy coming in with very little name i.d. and newcomer to politics and florida governor ron desantis coming in with a whole other name i.d. with the governor of florida and a rising star in the republican party and very different nights for the two gentlemen. the preamble did not really happen and he was coming out relatively unscathed and he's had a lot of the talking points that we heard on the campaign trail. ramaswamy getting more of the attention and a whole lot more of the errors. i had a chance to ask him about that after the debate. take a listen to what he told me about that. >> i take it as a badge of honor and frankly to come out as the winner of the debate when it was my first-ever political debate is frankly something that exceeded even my own expectation and the race started tonight, and i think it will be a quick pass to get to a two-horse race

between trump and myself. >> i also spoke to the desantis team who told me that they are very happy with their candidate's performance. he was disciplined and he got his message across and even though he did repeat a lot of what we heard on the campaign trail, this is the first time a lot of voters have been tuning in and he was able to deliver that message and they were happy he stayed above the fray and away from the chirping that we heard. >> how does this first debate affect how they will campaign in the days and weeks ahead? >> they're all out there saying that their candidates won, right? all of the campaigns saying that their candidate is the best and won the debate which is expected. they're all going to be out there trying to fund raise and trying to gain momentum from last night. we know that both vivek ramaswamy and ron desantis are headed to iowa for the weekend and we'll be covering both of them and we'll see how that changes and how they'll interact with voters on the trail. >> dasha, talk to us about

former president donald trump. obviously, he wasn't on stage. is there any indication that that was a down side for him? do we know if he will participate in the next one? >> look, one of his aides told us that they were going to be counting the number of times that his name was mentioned last night and i don't think it was mentioned nearly as many times as they wanted although he did loom large, but i do think that there is one thought in this equation where the voters could see what a post-trump political universe looked like and that could be a down side for him. the candidates did have the moments where they tried to get out from under his shadow and how to deal with the trump factor when they were asked about it which created moment of tension whether or not they would support him if he were convicted of a crime. he remains a challenge for these candidates. >> and former president trump

keeping his name in the mix talking to former fox host particularer carlson. thank you. it is time for today's concerns nbc's money minute. what u.s. city has the highest cost of living? the answer probably won't surprise you. steve kovac joins us now. >> yeah. let's talk about shein. they're partnering up with forever 21. forever 21 will sell its products on shein and it will operate inside forever 21 stores. shein will also have access to other brands under forever 21's operator. meantime, the uk government is set to host the first artificial intelligence safety summit home to the famous codebreakers who helped end world war ii. the government said the meeting will include federal government, a.i. firms and research experts

four people are dead after a shoot being at a beloved biker bar in southern california. the gunman is among them. nbc has learned he is a retired law enforcement rf. the chaos erupted last night in a small town in the foothills of orange county. the bar is called cook's corner. it's been a staple in this community for decades. nbc's erin mclachlan joins us now. what do we know about the victims here and the gunman? >> police are identifying the suspected gunman as 59-year-old john snowing, a retired sergeant

from ventura county. three law enforcement officials tell nbc news they believe he was targeting his estranged wife marie when he walked into cook's corner and opened fire. our sister station knbc interviewed an eyewitness who said she was sitting with marie at the time of the attack. take a listen. >> people were getting shot, and then he turns around and then he starts shooting at me and marie, his wife, and all of a sudden, she hits the floor, and i didn't know if she -- i didn't know if she got hit or if she was just ducking from the bullets. >> a family friend tells nbc news marie was shot and critically injured in the attack having undergone surgery at a nearby hospital last night. one of six injured, four killed

including john snowy. he was shot and killed during the police response. >> erin mclachlan at the scene for us. thank you. a possible twist in the case involving the notorious btk killer. he's now been named as the prime suspect in two unsolved cases in missouri and oklahoma. that would be on top of the ten murder convicts he is currently serving time for in kansas. nbc's emily akeda. can you remind our viewers who he is and how is he linked to other cases. >> btk, bind, torture, kill, and that's the name he gave himself. he admitted to killing ten people in 2005 and now flash forward several decades and here authorities are re-opening and re-examining other unsolved missing persons and homicide cases for a number of reasons including one being the sheriff

watching a netflix documentary at the end of last year and it jogged his memory in terms of the location of things and he went on to interview rader in person and they continued to pore over his extensive journalling providing clues. that led investigators to re-examine and unearth what they say is additional evidence and personal effects belonging to victims at his former house and a variety of different tools. they say so-called trophies they're unearthing and here's more. here is more. take a listen. >> the sheer fact that we were able to show up to dennis rader's property many years later on a specific tip and still find evidence based on that specific tip was enough for us to continue in our dogged pursuit of all of the leads that have been presented to us. it has reinvigorated our efforts and we will continue and even

harder than we have before. >> and authorities say advancing gps and dna technology has helped progress the multi-agency investigation, but also they continue to receive tips. in fact, they are seeking one out, searching a property because of a lead, today, as we speak, zinhle, they are not commenting on the latest developments. >> being, you can see more of emily's reporting coming up tonight on nbc "nightly news with lester holt". >> back to class, but without a classroom. coming up, the reason why some schools are closing and forcing parents to scramble to try and find alternatives. stay with us. you'reatching "nbc news w my a1c was up here; now, it's down with rybelsus®. his a1c? it's down with rybelsus®. my doctor told me rybelsus® lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill and that people taking rybelsus®

ryder has just finished a briefing where he said it is likely that prigozhin was killed in this plane crash and that there is no indication at this point about a surface-to-air missile. they haven't seen the kind of heat signature that you've seen if a missile had actually hit it. so that leaves the like liest conclusion that it was some type of an explosive onboard like a bomb and that is very close to what we're hearing via our pentagon correspondent courtney kube who has spoken with those u.s. officials. one official telling courtney that a leading theory right now was that this plane was downed by an explosive onboard, meaning something that was possibly loaded on to the plane before it took off, and so u.s. officials still looking for more information about what happened here and the leading theory reit now, an explosive onboard that led to that plane descending

quickly and ultimately crashing. >> all eyes are on vladimir putin and president biden said not much happens without president putin knowing about it. he did comment on the crash. can you tell us exactly what he said? ? yes. these were his first comments about this, and he didn't comment specifically on what brought the plane down. he said he would wait for the investigation to unfold, but interestingly, putin was full of praise for yevgeny prigozhin saying he was sending condolences to his family, calling him a man of complicated faith, of praising his work not only in russia and in africa and making no mention whatsoever of that attempted mutiny that prigozhin carried out two months ago against putin's government. >> all right. josh letterman, thank you. we appreciate it. japan has started to release treated radioactive water from the fukushima plant into the ocean. it is necessary to decommission

the plant more than a decade after a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami set off a meltdown there. nbc news foreign correspondent janice mackey frayer reports from fukushima, japan. >> it started after 1:00 local time today. officials at the nuclear power plant confirming they've started to release treated radioactive waste water from the fukushima daiichi nuclear plant into the ocean. they're pumping it through a tunnel that extends about a half mile out from the coast, 40 feet under water. they diluted this treated waste water before the process begin. this is the nuclear plant that was root in the 2011 earth wake and tsunami and it triggered a melt down, none of the water was used to cool the melted fuel.

until now been in these storage, it is enter fashl atomic that seems to be a concern. they're using this very powerful filtration system to treat the water and it's removing most radioactive materials, but not tritium, and that is what's sparking criticism and opposition across the region especially from china. chinese officials today again warning they will take all necessary measures against japan, announcing today they will halt the import of all aquatic products from japan, and this was a concern in the fisheries industry here in fukushima. the government here still stands by the plan. they say that there's little else that they can do. officials at the plant will continue to monitor the levels as this roes is continues. it will happen a few times over

the course of every year probably over the next 30 to 40 years. >> janice, thanks so much. in today's daily health, there's a new report in the state of maternal care in america. >> the cdc says one in five women experienced mistreatment with that number rising for one in three for minorities. joining us now it msnbc news medical contributor dr. kavita patel. let's start with the mistreatment that is being reported? what are the most common types and who is impacted the most. >> this is a survey of over 2,000 morgues that can answer anywhere from common problems that they had during treatments and the most common things as well as seeing their concerns weren't being addressed or that they were afraid, very alarming because it results in one in five women with the pregnancy and post-natal care.

>> 45% of women held back from discussing some of their concerns. talk about that. how big of a deal is that and how can it impact the level of care they're receiving? >> it's a huge deal. pregnancy is incredibly humbling. i know what to ask for, what was appropriate and frankly, sometimes in health care settings you just feel so rushed. so what's at stake is taking care of women, taking care of their families and death is on the line. we know the three of us that have spoken about the mortality. women of color, women who have no insurance or medicaid or public insurance experience this more and it can affect us all. >> dr. patel, it is so striking for you to say as a doctor you don't know what to ask at times. what's at the root of this? it's not implicit bias, right? patients need to advocate, too.

briefly. >> honestly, i give all my friends the same advice. take someone else in there. it may not be the partner or someone that's really close to you, just so you can hear what really went on. go into that visit with some questions and talk to people and make sure you understand what did i ask you they shouldn't know, dr. kavita patel, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. as the school year begins, many are finding their local school is no longer an option, leaving kids displaced and families forced to compromise. >> it just breaks my heart. >> i moved to indianapolis a widow, three small children. this school is where i made friends and not just my children, but myself also. >> you probably know a mom just like desean jordan, hustling to

get her kids out every morning. >> look both ways. >> and a mom who loved her kids' school. >> this was community. this is not just a building. it's not just a school. >> following the district-run schools, down 38% over the past decade and the falling funding that comes along with that, the district permanently closed six buildings this summer including francis parker montessori. the place where her kids used to play, learn and gather was getting ripped away. it was a loss to the community and not to mention sleep. desean's second and third graders now not only have to go to new schools, and she says to keep them in high-performing programs is to put them in other schools. >> it's more gas because i have to be in two lines. drop-off lines and the gas is high. >> drop-off lines is the worst

part of the morning? >> now i'll have to fight the drop-off line. >> desean has to do it all some mornings, but she's not alone. public schools in dozens of states are facing a crisis. the department of education that's there today nearly 2 million fewer students thafr before the pandemic. america's has a falling birthrate. and fewer students means fewer fines. >> if you're trying to operate too many schools you've taken resources out of the remaining schools to prop up the half empty ones and often that means there are not enough resources for extracurriculars, a.p. classes and things like that. >> but this perfect storm for a shutdown is also fueled by pandemic frustration out of public seas and most public dollars going to charter, rell edgeous and public schools that help districts delay the inevitable until now. >> we're upon anying school

closures in the next year or two as a result of the federal relief money coming now. >> alicia johnson say they're trying to get ahead of the budgetary clip with the multi-year plan to consolidate buildings while simultaneously expanding educational offerings. >> change is difficult, and i am asking, nor do i expect that was going to be a process and does that create that families will to to do something different and do the hard things that need to be deputy. >> desean is no plan laid out by the vupt superintendent ease, but in a way both women are fighting for a better future. >> i want them to learn and have a level of confidence about themselves and being in a good program can give them that. >> reunited four decades later. the heartwarming moment when a

or if you're taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. it feels good to just live in the moment. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. ask your doctor about cabenuva today. it was a reunion over 40 years in the making. a man who was taken by his mother at birth in chilly and taken to the u.s. and meeting
