12:00 pm
hi, everyone, thanks so much for being with us, i'm zinhle essamuah. >> i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now.
12:01 pm
today, tuesday, september 12th, 2023. armed and dangerous. police now say the escaped killer in pennsylvania has a gun. neighbors are told to stay vigilant. five former memphis police officers have been indicted in the beating death of tyre nigh nichols following a traffic stop earlier this year, why the doj is getting involved. backing impeachment, house republicans are one step closer to opening an impeachment inquiry of president biden. apple unveils a brand new iphone, the huge change that's coming that will impact all apple users. >> i don't know if i can handle another iphone change, kate. >> it's the charger, hint, hint. we're going to start now with this tra dramatic new development in the massive and urgent search for that escaped
12:02 pm
prisoner. >> it has been 13 days since danelo cavalcante escaped from prison. before that shootout there was a new sighting of cavalcante about 20 miles north of the prison where he escaped from. hundreds of officers swarmed that area and still were not able to locate him. >> authorities have been reiterating to the community just how dangerous cavalcante is. he's been convicted of killing one woman in pennsylvania. he is wanted for another murder in his native country of brazil. because police now consider cavalcante armed, one school district has canceled classes today as a precaution. >> let's get right to it with nbc's lindsey reiser who is near the search area in chester county. it feels like today the stakes are higher now that police say he is armed and dangerous of course. where are police focusing their efforts? >> this is definitely a new phase here, heightened alert in the area. right now they are searching an eight square mile area, about
12:03 pm
ten minutes from where we are, and it's heavily wooded. it's dense. it's difficult to get through, difficult to find someone who doesn't want to be found. but we had some overnight developments here that really just elevated the alarm here for residents. so after a sighting at 8:00 p.m., at 10:00 p.m., there was a call from a resident that cavalcante had entered his garage, stolen a rifle, and he actually shot at cavalcante as he was fleeing. authorities say they don't have any reason to believe he's injured right now, but they say he is desperate. obviously you just mentioned his violent criminal history. people are being urged right now not to approach him if they see him. he does have a different appearance. you see on the left-hand side, recent doorbell camera. he's clean shaven, but right now they believe that he's ditched that hoodie that you see on his screen. he's also ditched his prison boots. he's shirtless, wearing blue
12:04 pm
pants, armed and dangerous. >> and are police giving any explanation as to why they seem to be having such a difficult time catching him. i think that's everybody's question. they have an immense amount of resources dedicated to the manhunt, and he still slips away. >> they say that no perimeter is 100% secure, but they say they are throwing all other assets at this. they've got k-9s, mountain patrols. they've got choppers and a plane nearby as well. so let's go ahead and listen to what police said about really the difficult task ahead. >> we have been pushing anytime we had him contained from the very start. we have seen this as a high priority throughout. it's a large area, wooded, hilly terrain. it's mott something that's a matter of sending a few people in and searching. anytime you're in an area like this, you can imagine if you went out and took a several square mile area and had to try and find a single person who is trying to hide, it's a challenge. >> reporter: new, police did say
12:05 pm
they believe he is familiar with this area, and when asked if he's getting any help, police said no comment, but they did say at this point they believe he is beyond assistance. kate and zinhle. >> lindsey reiser in pennsylvania for us, thank you. we're following breaking news out of washington, d.c., in a highly controversial move, speaker kevin mccarthy announced he is directing house committees to begin a formal impeachment inquiry into president biden. republicans have, quote, uncovered serious and credible allegations into president biden detailing some of them in a news conference earlier today. >> through our investigations, we have found that president biden did lie to the american people about his own knowledge of his family's foreign business dealings. eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners resulted in cars and millions of dollars into his son's and his son's
12:06 pm
business partner. >> nbc news senior national political reporter sahil kapur joins us now. so why has mccarthy made this decision to start this inquiry right now, and what's the white house saying? >> reporter: hey, zinhle, the speaker has been facing conflicting pressures on this from various different factions within his caucus for months now. it seems he has decided he has less to lose by going forward and launching this inquiry than he would if he were to back off and say this is not something he wants to do. now, there has been a pretty striking reversal for the speaker. 11 days ago he insisted there would be no impeachment inquiry that would be launched without a vote of the full house of representatives today. he just decided to launch it himself unilaterally after telling the conservative website breitbart that he would not do just that. it shows that mccarthy did not appear to have the votes in his house republican conference in his narrow majority as many members ranging from the centrist members in swing
12:07 pm
districts to some very conservative members deent don't believe he has the evidence to tie the president to the wrongdoing of his son hunter. >> what's the white house saying and what are the odds this impeachment vote actually happens? >> the white house is pushing back pretty aggressively. they have set up a war room of dozens of communications agents, lawyers and legislative liaisons. will anybody asking speaker mccarthy why impeachment inquiry is the next logical step. sams goes on to say, quote, the house gop investigations have turned up no evidence of wrongdoing by the president, and he notes that their own witnesses have testified to that. at this moment, it looks like an inquiry in search of an impeachable offense. republicans do not yet have that impeachable offense. zinhle. >> sahil kapur with the latest. thank you. also breaking right now, a humanitarian crisis is unfolding in libya, north africa, where government officials say more than 2,000 people have died from
12:08 pm
serious flooding. take a look at this, how widespread it is. a mediterranean storm slammed into that country on sunday. rainfall was so intense, it caused two dams to burst. nbc news foreign correspondent josh lederman is following this for us from doha, qatar. this unfolding in a country that has had some tough times oaf the past few years, give us the context. >> reporter: that's right. you think about the challenges in responding to a disaster like this in what is essentially a failed state. a country that has not had one cohesive government that actually controls the entire territory in more than a decade, where it's unclear who's actually the authority in charge. and you can understand why it has been so difficult to even pin down the simple death toll with various estimates, ranging as you mentioned from 2,000 to one statistic that has been released by an interior minister more than 5,000. the expectation is as more of those people who are missing are
12:09 pm
located, that number is only going to go up. watch. >> along libya's mediterranean coast utter detective station in a war-racked region unprepared to respond. severe flooding leaving in its wake unthinkable loss of life and with 10,000 people missing, fears the death toll will grow far higher. in eastern libya bodying strewn on the streets by the dozens covered by blankets. cars piled on top of each other, residents and aide workers navigating knee deep muddy water, and entire neighborhoods that no longer exist. authorities estimating a quarter of durna was wiped out. >> once we can confirm now that thousands of people have lost their lives, thousands of people have lost their homes, and thousands of families are stranded or lost. >> reporter: in the hardest hit area, the health system has collapsed. ambulance officials say what functioning hospitals remain are now sorting grounds for the bodies arriving by the hundreds. the culprit, mediterranean storm

daniel, which struck on sunday bursting at least two dams on a river that runs right through the city of some 90,000 people. the waves of water swept buildings and people right into the mediterranean sea, a disaster of proportions that would be impossible for any country to deal with in the best of times, but these are not the best of times in libya. an oil rich north african country that's been torn apart by civil conflict and extremism for more than a decade since long-time dictator gaddafi was ousted in 2011 and then killed. in the year since, two rival governments have fought for control of territory, leaving local infrastructure neglected and crumbling, ripe conditions for humanitarian disaster. >> the challenges are ranging between access to basic health facilities or health services, shelter and shelter management, food and non-food items.
12:11 pm
first aid, restoring family links as well. >> reporter: libya's internationally backed government doesn't control durna but is sending in help, and now imploring the rest of the world to do the same. the good news is aid is starting to flow in to libya. here in qatar, i spoke to an official who told me two planes will leave doha tonight headed with assistance to qatar. president biden says the united states is looking for ways to help as well. kate and zinhle. >> all right, josh lederman for us, thank you for that chlkt we're also following a humanitarian crisis in morocco where the death toll from friday's earthquake keeps climbing. moroccan officials say nearly 3,000 people have lost their lives, and more than 5,500 are injured now. a u.s. government agency is sending a small team of disaster experts to help out. we're going to turn now to today's cnbc money minute. your tiktok for you page is coming for your wallet.

12:37 pm
blocks other competitors from getting in. they simply don't havekinds of billions of dollars kboog l has to spend. we got to that dominant market share position because our product is so good and everybody wants to use us because the search results you get on google are the best results. if you go on binge or duck duck go or some of the other alternatives it's not as good. they say the department of justice is out of line in even bringing the case in the first place. >> angela, this is government's first major monopoly case to make it to trial in decades. what is at stake for others? >> the government is going to go after amazon and other companies that embody big tech, and we've seen the government do this before. first they did at&t. they did microsoft, now google. at seminole moment when is a company has overtaken the market and they've become a verb, that seems to be the moment the government swoops in. >> we call it googling at this point, it's universal.

>> we were sort of the wondering google is already cemented as the top search engine, does this trial come a little too late? why didn't the government do this sooner? >> reporter: well, a lot of folks are describing this as a trial about the future of the internet, and particularly with ai just on the horizon about a lot of how ai will get built into a lot of these same contractual relationships between these big tech giants. it is -- does feel a little late in the sense of we heard this testimony the first day today, the first witness up was google's top economist, and the department of justice was grilling him on emails going back nearly 20 years that he was involved in it, and he was sort of scratching his head saying i'm trying to remember what i said at the time. with ai just around the corner, the framing here is this is about innovation and the future of the internet. >> and angela, you touched on prior precedent for this, what could google face if this actually happens, how might we see them break up? >> we could see an injunction.

we could also see sanctions. it's really unclear. there's only one judge right now who's going to decide whether or not google has violated antitrust law. after that, there will be remedies discussed, and it could be sanctions. it could be breaking up search, it could be who knows. >> time will tell. eamon javers, and angela cenedella, thank you both so much. more than four months after members of the writer's guild went on strike, most of the action in hollywood is still on hold, and tomorrow marks two months now since the actor's guild joined the picket lines. >> everything from movies to talk shows have been on hold with actors and writers out of work and the major studios expected to lose billions of dollars. the new television season is here, and some productions that went dark are starting to come back with all new shows. >> with us now nbc news entertainment correspondent chloe melas. are we any closer to a deal? >> that's the question many want to know, including viewers who
12:40 pm
are missing their favorite late night talk shows. unfortunately, things are at a total stalemate, a standstill, and what do i mean by that? we know at nbc news, we published a piece yet on nbcnews.com sag-aftra has not begun negotiations with the group that represents all of the studios which is shocking to think. then how is anybody going to come to some sort of a resolution if they aren't even talking? now, the writer's guild of america that represents thousands of writers, they came out with a statement on friday saying that they were open to maybe even doing one-off deals with some of these studios, and we know that four big studio heads, including ted saran dose over at netflix met with members from wga, but no formal negotiations have taken place since mid-august with the writer's guild. again, what is it going to take for billions of dollars not being cost to the california
12:41 pm
economy, all of the people who are out of work like craft services and hair and makeup and all of the other industries that are being affected by these strikes. so everyone is hoping that there is a resolution and one of the sources that we spoke to did say that they do think based on what they're hearing things will wrap up hopefully with something amicable on all sides in mid-october. >> that's a really important point, chloe, right? it's not just the actors and the writers. there are so many people who are tan general shlly affected. the drew barrymore show, the talk and the jennifer hudson show, why are these shows able to resume production when others like the tonight show and the late show can't? >> this has caused a little bit of controversy, especially within the writer's guild union. drew barrymore came out saying i am bringing my talk show back, and many are saying drew barrymore is in violation, and at least the writer's guild saying she is in violation of the strikes by coming back. but sag-aftra coming out and
12:42 pm
saying absolutely not, we support drew barrymore bringing her show back. how is she able to do this? i also want to point out live with kelly and mark and the view, these are shows still on the air. how do daytime talk shows get to not be part of the strikes? it's because they're not using union writers. but how will drew be writing her show when most of these writers are part of the union? will she be writing the show herself? and that's what we're seeing with late night tv shows, and they're not back because their writers are part of the union. and also, when you come back and you essentially breach the strike where things stand, they call it that your show has been struck, and so right now the writer's guild has come out and said that drew's show is struck in their minds, again, like i said, sag-aftra is supporting drew barrymore. a lot of nuance to all of this, a lot of controversy, but we are all hoping that a resolution comes very quickly.
12:43 pm
>> i know a lot of tv viewers are hoping that too. thank you so much. good to have you. we should note that nbc universal, the parent company of nbc news, you saw it on the graphic there, it is a member of that trade group that represents the major studios. coming up, it's the season for sneezing. get that? and a question a lot of us will and a question a lot of us will be asking, is
12:44 pm
i'm orlando and i'm living with hiv. i don't have to worry about daily hiv pills because i switched to every-other-month cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. now when i have people over, hiv pills aren't on my mind.
12:45 pm
don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients, 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.
12:46 pm
it's that time of year where you might start asking yourself, is it allergies? is it cold, or is it the flu? >> yeah, while most people associate springtime with allergy season, fall can also bring its fair share of itchy eyes, sneezing and a scratchy throat. joining us now is an allergist and immunologist at nyu langone hospital. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you. >> so many people affiliate allergies with the spring, but why can they also be prevalent in the fall? what do you see in your practice? >> right, so most people don't realize there's a surge of a different pollen in the fall than in the spring called ragweed, and it comes in the air end of august. itasts until the first front. so all of those spring symptoms of allergies and asthma all come back in the fall again. >> i think i'm actually feeling that today. are allergy symptoms the same, though, like when you get the allergies in the fall versus the spring, do you get the same kind
12:47 pm
of reaction? what kind of symptoms are we talking about? >> right, so the allergy symptoms can be identical. so the itchy watery eyes, stuffy nose, sore throat, and people may not realize there's that link between allergies and asthma. allergies are the most common cause of asthma, if you're having coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, don't take it lightly. next week is asthma peak week. >> how can someone who's not feeling good differentiate between, hey, i have a cold, hey, i have the flu, or maybe i just have fall allergies? >> right, so sometimes it's very difficult to differentiate. we always advocate, you know, getting a test to be sure. but you know, generally allergies can last for weeks. they have more itchy symptoms, a cold or flu or any type of virus will sometimes have a temperature associated with 100 or more, and usually it's limited to seven to ten days, you're much more fatigued with an infection than allergies and sometimes it can involve your stomach. like you can have upset stomach or diarrhea or vomiting which we don't really see with allergies
12:48 pm
as much. sometimes the symptoms are identical. even we have to test to figure out what the patient has. >> is there a way to prevent allergies, as i'm thinking you're going to tell me not to go outside. >> you can't stay indoors or live in a bubble. we always recommend starting yo pventative or controller mecaons early because it's much easier to control it ahead of the game rather than once all the symptoms are flared up. so i have my patients start their asthma medications mid-august, their preventative medications like nasal sprays and antihistamine tablets early so they're less miserable during the season. >> some people allergies are like itchy eyes. others it can becrippling. >> there are a lot of over the counter medications available. great 24 hour antihistamines, sprays, but the clue to go to the doctor is if those medicines aren't working, and you're still
12:49 pm
miserable or, you know, if you're having those breathing symptoms i mentioned. that can actually be life-threatening believe it or not. we still have 11 deaths a day from asthma and usually allergies are the cause. >> it's only september, how long do allergies stick around in the fall? are we clear by thanksgiving? >> it depends on when the first frost is. once the first frost hits, then the pollen goes away. it all depends on if we're going to have the cold come earlier or later this year. >> to that point, climate is clearly impacting things. we touched on it earlier. what are the specific triggers? what is the pollen? clearly we're not seeing flowers bloom right now. >> right. right now it's something called ragweed, and it can travel for even 50 miles, but it comes from all over, and because of the warmer temperatures, the seasons are much longer and the pollination starts much earlier, so in the spring it's the trees and the grass pollen. right now is ragweed, and it's
12:50 pm
everywhere. >> does that make treatment specific at all? is there something you can do for ragweed? >> we actually can make your allergies better over time, and get as close to them going away as possible, but doing something called allergy shots or desensitizing people. that doesn't work right away. it won't work for this season. over time we can build up your immunity. if we find out you're allergic to ragweed, we have ragweed specific shots and tree pollen specific or cat or dog specific. >> yeah. i'll take some hope with these allergies. you're explaining away my itchy eyes. thank you so much for your insights. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> there is much more news ahead. ahead. >> you're why do dermatologists choose dove? the dove beauty bar, is gentle. it not only cleans, it hydrates my skin. as a dermatologist, i want what's best for our skin. with 1/4 moisturizing cream, dove is the #1 bar dermatologists use at home.
