hi, everyone. i'm zinhle essamuah. >> and i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, monday, september 25th, 2023. breaking news, a tentative agreement. what we know about the deal and what needs to happen before

cameras can officially roll. crisis at the border, as large migrants cross into the u.s., the action local and federal officials are taking. seeking answers. people with long covid have science on their side. talk the talk, a new campaign taking on the growing problem of fentanyl. the tips for parents on having a real conversation about fake pills. we hope you had a restful weekend. i know we did. >> we sure did. thank you for being with us. we'll start this hour with a hollywood ending that many have been waiting for. >> the writers guild of america and alliance of motion picture and television producers have reached a tentative deal. that had halted for 146 days, demanding better pay in an

entertainment landscape dominated by streaming platforms. >> late-night shows could potentially return within days. other scripted tv and film productions could take a little bit longer to ramp back up. leading us off today is liz kreutz, what do we know so far about terms of this tentative deal? >> reporter: so, we know that the wga says they plan the negotiating committee plans to vote on this as soon as tomorrow, it will go to their members for a vote, neither side, the writers guild or the studio executives have released any details of the deal yet. we can assume they've been able to hammer through some of the biggest sticking points. though include higher royalties from streaming shows, higher wage, protections around

artificial intelligence, writers fear that could be used to replace them and also the demand from writers for minimum staffing levels in writing rooms, again, we don't know how they landed on any of this, the writers guild, they're elated by the fact they've reached this alnd by the agreement. they released a statement saying, we can say with great pride that this deal is exceptional, with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership. so, right now the lawyers are still going back and forth, finishing out that language before they release publicly details of the agreement. >> liz, for production to get back on track you got to look at the actors strike as well, that needs to end, could this be a template for the actors to reach a deal? >> reporter: that's the hope, for sure, the writers guild and the actors still on strike even if the writers get a deal they have similar things they're fighting for particularly around

those higher residuals and sag-aftra released a statement saying they look forward to reviewing this agreement and they're ready to negotiate as well. so certainly this could be used as a frame work for the actors guild. very hopeful that wga were able to reach a deal. >> what kind of damage has the writers strike caused the entertainment? >> reporter: it's been huge, five months for people without work, without pay, and it's not just the writers and the actors, it's really the entire entertainment industry that's impact bid this, everybody in los angeles from the crew members to the hair and makeup people, to the costume folks, to just restaurants in l.a. are feeling the impact of this, in fact governor gavin newsom said it's likely cost the california

economy $5 billion the latest jobs report said it cost the state 17,000 jobs, so this is definitely taking a toll and as far as all of us at home we're noticing the difference just in our fall tv lineup, lot more re-runs, reality tv and it could be many months before we see our favorite shows coming into production. >> liz, thank you. some movement on another massive strike, this one involves united auto workers union. they made progress with one of the big three carmakers. the strikes are growing larger. the new comes as president biden and former president trump plan to show their support for those workers on the picket lines. maggie is live outside a plant in michigan. let's get right into the negotiations, what's the latest there? >> reporter: as you point out, basically which of the big three you're talking about, the union

said they've made substantial progress with ford. we're standing out in front of a stellantis parts distribution center, one of the new 38 facilities that the union asked workers to basically walk off the job from, growing the strike essentially by close to half, stellantis and gm are the ones they still need to put at will of pressure on. the union firing back saying they've made historic offers. the union wants more. a lot of ground to cover. it depends on which company we're talking about. >> maggie, also drivers i know haven't felt the impact of this strike yet. especially when it comes to repairs. >> reporter: right, it depends on which repair you're looking

for, specific to some major parts to perhaps parts that are even traditionally a little bit tougher to get, engines transmissions if you need major repairs like that and you need those parts shipped in, parts distribution is facilities shut down, you could be trouble. they saw this coming, in the news for a while, they stocked on things that are run of the mill, like brake pads, things like that, minor repairs in the next couple of weeks or days you should be a better position to get those done quickly on a normal time line, but something more complicated like engine transmission, say within days like this week or next week those could become harder to find. >> of course all this as president biden and former president trump say they're heading to michigan. maggie, thank you. there's a town on the southern border under a state of emergency today, thousands of

migrants seeking asylum poured into eagle pass, texas, yesterday alone according to the border patrol. they're attempting to cross where barricades are, cutting through razor-wire fencing after migrants got stuck between the barrier and the rio grande river. julia ainsley has made her way to eagle pass. tell us about the situation, and do we know why so many migrants are specifically heading to that location, that small town? >> reporter: well, it seems they're coming here just across the river from where i'm standing now this is part of mexico that's actually less violent than a lot of the other areas, that's what we saw today. migrants carrying children on their backs trying to band

together so the more vul theshl of the group can't get swept away. the tide may be shallow water but that tide can be very strong. in fact we saw migrants perish right here last week including a 3-year-old boy who drowned. so it's dangerous to cross but it's the other side that's at least less violent and that's what's leading them to come here but it's overwhelming this area, it's small town, we just got data that shows they have over 4,000 migrants in the custody of border patrol right here in eagle pass, more than double their capacity, they release them, the more they get released they tell their friends and family back home they were able to come and draws more. the biden administration to a test. >> julia, you shared earlier that some of the people you've been talking don't seem all that excited once they get over to the u.s. side, talk about that again and what you're seeing and

hearing there? >> they're exasperated. when i meet these people, after they've crossed, sleeping in mountains of arizona before they cross over, they're usually happy to see border patrol, here they were glad to get out of the water, they were crying, grasping to their loved ones because of what they were up against in mexico and trying to get across the river here and through all of this razor wire as you can sao, this is the competition of state versus federal policies, texas governor abbott putting up this razor wire and border patrol having to cut it for humanitarian reasons so more migrants don't drown in the river. emotions are high. >> real human beings stuck in the middle. time now for today's money minute. rite aid is shutting down stores

new jersey senior democratic senator bob menendez said he's not going anywhere, making his first public remarks since being indicted on corruption charges last week. this is all despite growing pressure to do so from both sides of the aisle. lindsey reiser joins us now from new jersey where senator menendez spoke earlier today. >> reporter: this location is significant because this is where menendez got his starts in politics, he served on the

school board and as mayor in the '80s. today he remain defiant despite the bipartisan calls for him to do so. he said everything he's accomplished he's worked for despite the naysayers saying this is his biggest fight yetd. adding he believes he'll be exonerated. he called the allegations against him salacious as spelled out in the federal indictment and people speaking out against him are doing so due to a political opportunity for themselves. here's what else he said. >> remember, prosecutors get it wrong sometimes. sadly, i know that. instead of waiting for all the facts to be presented others have rushed to judgment because they see a political opportunity for themselves. or those around them. i firmly believe that when all the facts are presented not only will i be exonerated but i still will be new jersey's senior

senator. >> reporter: he didn't say however whether he would run again for office when his term expires next year. so, i did shout out that question to him when he was leaving. there are growing calls for him to resign. most of the new jersey congressional delegates. john fetterman today tweeted we have an extra flashlight for our home emergencies talking about the fact that hundreds of thousands of dollars were found stuffed in his suit jackets at home in case of emergency he said today. >> lindsey, thanks. a historic space mission was completed over the weekend, seven years and 4 billion miles in the making. >> touch down. i repeat. touch down. nasa scientists celebrating there after the agency's first-ever sample of an asteroid

touched down you saw that sort of dark blob this the dirt, it touched down on earth safely on sunday. nbc's tom costello joins us. this is my favorite story of the day. first of its kind mission, can you tell us how they gatherd that sample? >> reporter: who else but nasa. the japanese did something similar a few years ago, but this is an amazing mission. because what they did they sent this spacecraft out to bennu asteroid 200 million years away, they landed the spacecraft on a moving object, drilled down, grabbed a sample of asteroid dirt and dust and then they brought it back, landing in the new mexico desert, but listen to what the experts said. they worked on this seven years and they were holding their breath as it came back to earth. >> i literally broke into tears,

and i'll probably do it right now just thinking about it, because that the moment i knew we made it home. i was there when it was nothing but a powerpoint on a slide and a ro posal we were submitting to nasa that we were going to bring back samples from bennu. >> an amazing mission. they have the sample. half pound of asteroid dirt and dust, they're going to look at all of the compounds to see what it tells us about the history, the origins of our solar system, and our planet, of you and me, so everybody has goose bumps of this mission and learning what that sample tells us about all of us. >> when are we going to find out some of these big answers? >> so we expect an initial look at the samp pl within a day or so. nasa has scheduled a news conference for the second week in october, they're going to give very preliminary findings.

here's what's fascinating, right, they're going to hold 75% of this sample, about half of a pound of it, so future generations can keep looking at it with new instrumentation, new technology, so this could be the gift that keeps on giving and tells us more and more and more over the years about where all of this came from. >> tom costello, thank you so much. >> you bet. lot more news ahead. you're watching "nbc news daily". when my doctor gave me breztri for my copd things changed for me. breztri gave me better breathing, symptom improvement, and reduced flare-ups. breztri won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. it is not for asthma. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. don't take breztri more than prescribed. breztri may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. ask your doctor about breztri. my name is caron and i'm from brooklyn.

this is "the fast forward." i'm audrey asistio. the wga has come to agreement after a 150 -day strike. ginger conejero saab is outside hq with the details. >> reporter: protections against artificial intelligence was a big part of these negotiations. the wga saying the agreement is exceptional with meaningful combines and protection for writers in every sector of the membership. a historic strike lasted nearly 150 days and made an impact on the start of big show, movie premiere, and has the president talking about it this morning. president biden said he applauds the writers guild of america and the alliance of motion picture and television producers for

reaching this tentative agreement that will allow writers to return to their important work. he goes on further to say, "there is simply no substitute for employers and employees coming together to negotiate in good faith toward an agreement that makes a business stronger and secures the pay, benefits, and dignity that workers deserve. i urge all employers to remember that all worker, including writers, actor, and autoworkers, deserve a fair share of the value their labor helps create." the specifics of this tentative agreement have not been made public yet. it is a three-year contract that needs to be approved by the guild's board and its members. in a message from the guild shared by members on social media, writers have been told the strike is not over but picketing is to be suspended immediately. this won't be enough to see hollywood back in full action just yet. >> we're not going to see anyone in front of the cameras until the actors make their deal. that could be three to six weeks

to get scripts this place, productions up and running, and then get those productions started. that really starts impacting the summer blockbuster season for 2024, which could be a big hit to the studios' bottom line. >> reporter: the two groups appear to be moving forward this morning in the right direction, but what does this mean for you as a viewer? you can see that late-night shows and day-time talk shows would make a return, but don't expect new scripted shows for fall or any promotion work by actors. that's because actors are still in their strike. the writers who have been encouraged -- who have been told to stop their picketing immediately are then encouraged to join actors on their picket lines. there is no talk yet of when those two sides will go back to the negotiating table. in los gatos, ginger conejero saab, nbc bay area news. speaking of strikes, dialysis caregivers begin a two-day strike today.

divided. earlier today house speaker kevin mccarthy said he was optimistic a shutdown would be avoided. >> make sure the government stays home while we do our job. you have to keep the government open, if people want to close the government only maybes them weaker. why would they stop paying the troops, the border patrol? >> garrett haake is with us. where do talks stand right now. >> reporter: the problem with the speaker's plan here it's not clear that he does have the support of all republicans, which is basically what he'll need to move anything to the floor and also not clear the deal that has been struck will do anything to keep the government funded. they're desperate to get some of these bilsz on the floor to vote, to give them some kind of position to stand on.

even doing that, which is not guaranteed, doesn't do anything to prevent the shutdown that we're headed towards this weekend and over the weekend mccarthy appears to have lost the back of former president trump very helpful to him in securing the speaker's gavel. basically saying, defund the justice department and the investigations into him, they should go ahead and do a shutdown and they're basically going to be blamed either way, they ought go ahead and do it. that's not helpful messaging for the speaker who's trying to convince this party to have this fight now. but not while in the government shutdown that he believes perhaps rightly that republicans will ultimately be blamed for. >> yeah, politicians clearly doubling down. shannon the human piece of this, because the federal government

can have a big impact beyond the halls of capitol hill. you're at a food bank in washington, did. c., what did they tell you about the impact that this could have? >> reporter: staff here are preparing for a big surge in demand, the capitol area food bank, estimate could be 100,000 people he this region who struggle to pay for their groceries if there's a prolonged government shutdown. the last one in 2018, smaller than this one if the government shuts down, they were serving about 1,000 per week. i spoke with some federal workers. >> we know that when budgets are stretched, food is the first thing to go. >> lot of us are just single parents like myself that struggle to make ends meet already, so we will be going to the food banks. >> the stresses and the

disappointment, the disillusionment that comes with this looming shutdown that happens over and over again, you can't put that tooth paste back in the bomt. >> and i think a lot of people when they think of a government shutdown, they think of federal workers in washington, federal workforce is spread across the united states, california, texas, michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, all states with workers doing anything from tsa agents and air traffic kroerts to active duty military to the people who are contractors who work on the military base just as in the cleaning staff and doing security, people we don't think of as federal workers but who are very dependent on the federal government. they'll stop getting a paycheck beginning next month unless the government reaches a budget deal here soon. >> major implications. shannon and garrett, thank you both. the 2024 election is 13

months away, but today we have snapshot of where things stand and there are concerns over both of the party's likely nominees. a new nbc news poll find 74% have major or moderate concerns about president biden's age and health. that same poll finds 62% of voters have major or moderate concerns about former president donald trump's multiple criminal and civil trials. here's what one arizona voter said. >> if the united states of america can't put together two better candidates, we have serious problems. i wouldn't let donald trump watch my grandkids. and i wouldn't let joe biden watch my grandkids, for different reasons. so why would i let them watch the country? >> a lot can happen in the next 13 months. right now, a head to head poll finds a rematch at a tie.

darsha burns is scottsdale, arizona, arizona could be one of states that decides the 2024 election. what are voters telling you about where the race stands. >> reporter: that voter you just played there, he voted for donald trump twice, but is now very disillusion and isn't thrilled with biden either. tlair concerned about both options. but what's interesting is they're concerned about joe biden's age more so than donald trump even though they're not so dissimilar in age. even though both gentlemen have legal problems they're more concerned about donald trump's legal problems than biden's legal problems, nonetheless, though, voters are seeing issues with both of the front-runners from the two parties. take a listen. >> i'm not sure it will be trump and biden. >> i'm not sure i could confidently vote for either the current front-runners.

i think as a country it's embarrassing we can't do better. >> i don't know who i'm going to vote for, i voted for biden. this time i don't know yet. >> when it comes to either biden or trump is disheartening for me. we saw what happen last time in 2020, that was disheartening. if it happens again it will be the same thing but probably worse. >> reporter: right now, of course for democrats joe biden, the president is the guy when it comes to republicans what we saw in poll there former president trump way ahead of all the alternatives. there hasn't been any consolidation around any of the other potential options. debate coming up this week could be a good opportunity for some of those folks to make an opportunity. >> wednesday night, right, darsha? >> right. it's been 22 years since the 9/11 attacks and we've reached a grim marker 343 members of the

around fatigue or brain fog but they can be wide and varying from heart symptoms, sleep, every organ system ce affected. what the researchers found, the top line, not to the surprise of my clinicians, something we needed to see in black and white to really understand most of people who had these long covid symptoms had lower cortisol levels. to mount any sort of response to anything, anything from fear to reacting to situations on a daily basis or to fighting covid similar toms. >> doctor, with all that said, can anyone who's had covid get this test? >> yeah, we know that people can have this diagnosis of long covid weeks after an infection, have a time period from that

initial infection time, on average, they were observed about a year, it's not a test you can roll up and ask up, it requires a longer conversation and exam. we want people to come guard and advocate for themselves. with this research we hope we will develop a set of tests. >> such important analysis there, doctor kavita patel coming up, how one mother's using her heartbreak to raise using her heartbreak to raise heareness about t
