hello, everyone. thanks so much for joining us. i'm zinhle essamuah. >> and i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, tuesday august 29th, 2023. breaking news. idalia on the move. powerful hurricane is picking up strength as it spirals toward florida. millions on the gulf coast are racing to evacuate.

we're in target zone. college attack, a university of north carolina chapel hill faculty member is dead after being shot on campus. what we're learning about the victim and the suspect's possible motive. bill of health the white house is promising to lower prescription drugs costs for millions of americans, the medications you may already take that could get for less. coming into focus, the fda warns drugs remain in short supply, the possible alternatives that could work for any child out there. we'll begin this hour with the breaking news. >> hurricane idalia, that major storm the taking aim right now at florida's gulf coast, overnight, idalia battered cuba bringing or the ren eshl rain and serious flooding. florida is bracing conditions even worse, because idalia is only expected to get stronger as it inches closer to the gulf

coast. >> landfall for this storm is expected tomorrow morning, wednesday morning the national hurricane center telling people to brace for quote, life-threat ening flooding. right now, evacuation orders are in place for more than 20 counties in florida, multiple counties have already cancelled school today and tomorrow. at this hour, tampa/st. pete/clearwater airports have cancelled. we begin with bill karins, less than 24 hours away from expected landfall what's the latest track of this storm? >> reporter: we're waiting to see how strong this hurricane gets before it makes landfall. all these images visible satellite come in every one minute, this is the center of the storm, this line shows you where it's been, bubbling storms all around it, it's about

roughly 125 miles off the coast the storm's starting to be a problem, tornadoes were reported earlier around the nap ls area, and fort myers, heading up toward sarasota, the beginning of those outer bands. still well off the coast and with it the strongest winds. isolated tornado could be the biggest risk. 90 mile per hour winds, on the verge of becoming a category 2 hurricane, that should happen at either 5:00 or 8:00 this evening. it will continue to intensify overnight and bringing itself onshore early tomorrow morning. this big bend area, we're targeting in between tallahassee and gainesville for where it's going to get the strongest winds, we got how much rain people are going to get, how strong the winds are going to be and the storm surge, along the south carolina coast and georgia

coast, mostly will be tropical storm-force winds. at high tide wednesday evening in the savannah area that's when you could have high water problems. this is not beaches. this is swamps. this is swamps that go miles inland, this is where the worst of the storm will be ux some communities up here, these residents are in harm's way especially of the wind, their high enough elevations that they should avoid the storm surge. i just saw fort myers has a two-foot storm surge, the storm is far away, already in two-foot range. later on tonight, this is what will head into the tampa area at 4 to 7 feet as we get that landfall the possibility of 10 to 15 feet of water, again this is a swampy area, not going to be like last year with'ian going downtown fort myers.

a beach community, cedar key, we're concerned what that will look like when all is said and done. lot of pieces to this puzzle. every storm is different. >> ian when it turned, we think this isn't going to turn. >> it doesn't look like. we're worried about the people in tallahassee if it keeps going north. >> bill karins, thank you the preparations in tampa, nearly 400,000 people live there and they're getting ready for effect thes of idalia. >> up to 7 feet of storm surge. marissa parra has the latest. >> reporter: the conditions in tam are kind of unique, here for about 24 hours and from my observations, the people who were most concerned, the people who wanted to leave have largely already done so, yesterday we saw the mad rush to the stores the mad rush to get

those sandbags in place before they left, and today, i would say it seems like the people who are left are the ones who are relaxed about this storm, people going on bike rides. i see people running and going on walks. when i talk to them, they say tampa has been able to avoid hurricanes in the past and not in the direct path of idalia right now. the big concern here is the storm surge. we're looking at 4 to 7 feet of storm surge, so behind me you can see tampa bay and on the other side of that is tampa general hospital, this is the region's only level 1 trauma center. where the people have the most serious injuries are taken. now this place is supposed to remain operational throughout the storm so people if they do get injured would be taken here, but remember, this is on an island, so they have to put what they call aqua fences around it. you can see video of them preparing the hospital, which will remain open through the storm for idalia, we're expecting that storm surge,

so we do know that there have been mandatory evacuation orders for those in zone a, the most risk prone when it comes to flooding. but people in zone b, c and beyond see to be doing just fine. regarding the threat here, it's not just the storm surge, we are going to be seeing the outer bands here in tampa and authorities have stressed time and time again there's a threat for tornadoes, so they're asking people to still take this seriously even if we're not in the direct path here in tampa. let's bring in guad in crystal river, florida, inland and a bit of north from where marissa is, an hour away where we think we're going to see the worse of the flooding. >> reporter: kate, this area very serious, this is evacuation zone zone a. so we are a little inland but we're still right off the water, these waterways make their way into the gulf and this area is

considered one of the low-lying areas and that's why there's a mandatory evacuation in place. we have a tide at the time of the day that usually comes up but if we get the surge that the governor has been talking about, they're saying it could be 12 feet of water, then that means all of these buildings at least in this community right next to where i am will get some water. the hotel told me at 7 feet of water this would be going into the hotel rooms. once they get that surge in this area, there's really no way to keep the water outside of the buildings, so this is what it likes in these evacuation zones. >> gu a d, u appreciate it. our coverage continues online right now at nbcnews.com. get updates, live from our nbc news crews on the ground and stay up to date on the storm's track, it's all online right now

at nbcnews.com. just moments ago the graduate student charged in that deadly shooting at university of north carolina, chapel hill, appeared in court. he's facing two charges. >> there's video of him taken into custody. police say he opened fire on the campus of unc yesterday, killing one person, we're learning that person was the suspect's academic adviser. >> dana griffin is following this story for us, what happened in court and what more can you tell us about this faculty member killed. >> reporter: we saw him walking into the courtroom, he nodded to the judge, he was speaking with an interpreter, we learned that he's a citizen of china, and again the court hearing very quick, efficient, he nodded as he listened through his interpreter. ordered to be held without bail.

he's charged with first degree murder and possession of a weapon on educational property. a press conference happening in about 30 minutes with the police chief, we hope to learn more information about that shooting on monday including a motive and whether or not they found that handgun they say was used in this shooting. as far as the professor we're told according to now-deleted unc profile this professor was the academic adviser for this shooting suspect, we're told that campus police and the university are in contact with his family and trying to provide resources. ladies? >> dana as a parent of college kids it's terrifying for the students, for the families of the students, some of these kids were only young people, a week into their college career, some video where we see kids jumping off ledges, jumping out of windows to get out of the way of the shooter.

what is it like there today, dana? >> reporter: you can only imagine what that must have been like for the students. an active shooter alert goes out you have no idea what's coming down that hallway, for students they hid, they stayed quiet or they jumped out of windows to avoid possibly, you know, a shooter in this case only one person was shot in this case, but we're hearing that it was a very terrifying thing not only for students on campus but four nearby schools that also locked down including students that were going to class for the very first time, kinder gartners, their parents waiting for them for hours, they're now having to call in counselors for those young kids now back in school, classes are cancelled on the campus of unc. listen to what some students talked about when it came to the experience on campus yesterday. >> we squatted on the toilets. just scared. >> the situation that we really

should haven't to be worry about, we're in class and we have to be concerned about gunmen coming into our room. hurting people. we're here to learn. i'm very angry about this and something needs to be done. >> reporter: students are angry and very frustrated and now they have a hot line for those students and parents to call in in case they want to talk about what happened. back to you. >> dana, thank you so much. time for today's money minute. morgan brennan joins us. 3m agreed to pay $6 billion to settle lawsuits over defect ive earplugs. amazon is raising its free shipping minimum for a non-prime customers, they're raising the minimum to $35, a $10 increase

people suing the utility. >> what is your response to see what the company said overnight about the fact that they're saying the lines were de-energized for six hours. >> we have looked at the evidence very closely, we have people on the ground, there's absolutely no evidence to support the claims. contrast all the everyday we have seen the lines were energized. >> reporter: one of the parties that singleton represents the family of lorenzo, who suffered second and third-degree burns to his body, leaving behind children and grandchildren and a rich legacy. >> on the one hand, in filing under the penalty of perjury they did not have a -- on the other hand to say they shut off

standard of care, this is a systematic failure across the grid. >> reporter: whether there were two separate fire events, the original warning fire produced an ember that tore through lahaina. sam brock, nbc news. >> today the white house revealed the first ten medications up for price negotiations through medicare, that means for the first time ever, medicare will be able to l with the drug companies, a move that could impact mlts of americans and help lower the cost of their prescriptions. let's bring in berkeley lovelace, jr. and monica alba. let's start with monica on why this big change is happening now and what did we just hear from president bide >> it's really significant, that candidate biden wanted to do.

to get lower drug costs particularly for those seniors. president biden wanted to do this for all americans but only able to negotiate this part the inflation reduction act signing that a year ago that's able to make this possible, it will take longer for people to actually see these prices come down the president is saying overall by taking this historic step there's going to be such a significant amount of cost savings for things like blood thinning medications and things that help treat diabetes. here's a little bit more from the what president biden had to say. >> save federal government save $1 billion over the next ten years. medicare will be paying less fo making available for seniors.

>> president biden said he wished the inflation reduction act was called something different, in addition to bringing down some prices some other major milestone is going to take a place as a result of this legislation that there's lot more that americans may not know about, some lawsuits that could slow this down, that could affect this, to see this firsthand until 2026, we'll get a sense of some of this initial profits a year from now, what the new prices will be for at least ten critical drugs. >> monica, thank you. some of those critical drugs, what made the list and is there any indication of how much lower the price willing be? experts suggest the new pricing for medicare could actually pressure drugmakers to do the same. >> correct. a few drugs on the list were expected. handful of diabetes medications,

a blood cancer drug, a drug for heart failure, a drug for arthritis, a kidney disease drug, this is the first step in the process and as we were saying previously no indication of how much the price will be, likely save the u.s. and taxpayers billions of dollars over the course of years, officials also told on the call that these drugs on this list cost medicare patients $3.4 billion last year alone, so if they're able to negotiate it will provide some substantial savings. there's a thought from experts this could also pressure the drugmakers to follow suit on private insurance as well. >> do people need to sign up to get these savings? >> no, if you're on medicare prescribed these medications in 2026 when these prices are expected to go in effect you

should see this price decrease reflectsed at the pharmacy counter and they're going add more drugs to the list, another 15 drugs, then another 20 drugs, 20 more after that, if your drug is not on this list currently you could still see savings in future. for private insurance at the moment, it still determined based on whether their private insurance will follow suit on these prices. >> thank you both so much. one of million of americans with student loan debt get ready. >> interest rates will start accruing again on friday with payments to restart in october. brian cheong is tracking everything we need to know. talk to us about the significance of friday. >> there were students that entered college at the beginning of the pandemic and might be a year out from graduation, they haven't had any guidelines on

how to address those first payments. friday, september 1st, is going to be the beginning of interest accrual again, with the first payments beginning the month after, october, depending on which plan you're on. so, this is going to be a sharp cliff for a loft people who have a lot of debt. >> people kind of put it in the back of their mind, i'm going to get relief from the biden administration but now wait a second you need to make payments again. >> the messaging to be fair has been confusing, talking about 40 million borrowers in this country who have a median of 20,000 to $25,000 in debt. what the department of education

is saying right now, they're going provide an off-ramp, the payments will begin in october if you miss a payment for the first year after that you won't be reported to the credit bureaus. beyond that point in time they could still happen but that won't happen until 2024. the interest accrual is going to begin this week. catch much more of brian's reporting tonight on "nightly news" with lester holt the pressure to resign is growing for the head of spanish soccer after he kissed general jie hermoso on the lips. anger and frustration are just intensifying inside spain. we're seeing protesters again

taking to the streets calling for the resignation of the head of the spanish football federation luis rubielas after he grabbed the head of star player jennie hermoso and kissed her lips on the stage. yesterday there was an emergency meeting called by his own federation where they are now calling for his resignation immediately. calling for him to step down. we know that spanish prosecutors are now saying that they've opened a criminal investigation to try and determine if his actions are sexual harassment. we know that there have been people from around the world sounding off, angry and upset at what they saw as the world watched that moment when he grabbed this woman's head and kissed her. she has already said she didn't consent. he's dug in and said he's the victim here of what he calls false femininism. he also said that it was consensual. in response, we've seen another statement released by hermoso, she never consented to that kiss. nevertheless at this hour, rubielas remains at the head and

is refusing to step down. back to you. >> all right, megan, thank you. coming up, medications used to treat attention disorders remain in short supply but some alternatives c

declared a nationwide shortage of adderall. >> used to treat adhd. 97% of independent pharmacy owners have reported a shortage. it's affecting generic versions for adhd. joining us now a associate professor of psychology at harvard -- thank you for being with us. first off, we were talking in the break a lot of different kinds of drugs, what's causing the shortages? >> good question, we don't really know, some problems with supply chain issues, manufacturing, an increase in prescriptions for adhd,ecause we have greater awareness and it also might be post-covid that

the disorganization and the working from home affects the results and also that parents became more aware of how much their kids were struggling because they were at home. >> doctor, give us some context, what happens when a child starts missing doses? what are the consequences of that. >> adhd you're going to see an increase in the symptoms depending on your child. more inattentive, trouble paying tention in school, completing homework, they'll get behind academically. it might interfere with their associate relationships, harder for them to control their emotions, all of those could lead to other symptoms, anxiety, depression, feelings of low self-esteem. >> so if parents or people who need the drugs aren't finding them are there alternatives?
