hi, everyone. i'm zinhle essamuah. kate snow is off today. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, thursday, november 16th, 2023. breaking news. another hostage abducted by hamas is found dead. israel's military revealing her

body was discovered deep inside the gaza strip, what we're learning about the victim. also breaking, guilty. a verdict is reached for the man who attacked speaker pelosi's husband with a hammer. what's next for him. nbc news exclusive. . video that shows alec baldwin handling and firing a prop gun. >> if i'm going to shoot right, mind going on the other side of the camera? i don't want to shoot. the good news bears, just days after they left the national zoo, why pandas may be returning to the united states after all. thanks so much for being with us. breaking news from the israel/hamas war. it's found the body of a hostage near the al shifa hospital in gaza. sraeli forces have been inside that hospital for second straight day.

israel claims it found weapons hidden in the hospital, nbc news cannot independently verify that information. it all comes as the united nations agency warning that sewage is flowing through and the world food programme that supplies are pretty nonexistent in the area. erin mclaughlin is in tel aviv for us. >> reporter: zinhle, israeli military announcing they recovered a 64-year-old israeli hostage, they say they found her body in a building near the al shifa hospital complex alongside weapons, rpgs as well as kalashnikovs, they have notified her family of her death after forensics made a positive eye dent my case. we don't know her cause of death.

weiss kidnapped on october 7th when hamas stormed the kibbutz. they killed her husband, four of her children were also on the kibbutz that day, she's survived by all five of her children. incredibly sad news for the family, this as the israeli military operation at the al shifa complex continues. according to the israeli military tonight they're alleging they have discovered a tunnel shaft not far from the tunnel complex and vehicle fill of weapons, we have been unable to verify that account and unable to reach doctors inside the hospital given a near total blackout that's under way now in the gaza strip limiting our communication. >> that blackout, we've been hearing a lot about fuel shortages in gaza leading to new humanitarian issues today. what have you learned?

>> reporter: yeah, that's right. according to leading telecommunications provider in gaza, that blackout is due to fuel shortage, they've run out of fuel to run their backup generators and we're also hearing the fuel shortage impacting the water supply inside southern gaza, according to w.h.o., 70% of palestinians in southern gaza don't have access to clean water. also impacting the sewage system according to the w.h.o., raw sewage has been running in streets of rafah because the sewage pumps have run out of fuel. israeli military has severely restricted the fuel supply to gaza strip saying if they allowed for fuel to be delivered that hamas would exploit that to fuel their own operations. >> tonight nbc news is investigating the alarming rise of anti-semitic incidents.

jacob soboroff hosts. we also have breaking news from california. the man who attacked former house speaker pelosi's husband paul has been found guilty in his federal trial. the jury returning the verdict against david depape after eight hours of deliberations. nbc news correspondent dana griffin is in san francisco and covering this for us. dana, walk us through what happened inside that courtroom. what was the reaction when that verdict was read in. >> reporter: when that verdict came down of guilty on both charges, david depape had his head down, he kept blinking, we know that the daughter of nancy and paul pelosi was in the courtroom, she's been there since jury selection, no word on what her reaction was but this case really boiled down to whether the defense believed -- excuse me whether the jury

believed that david depape went to pelosi home that night and did take substantial steps to attempt to kidnap then-speaker nancy pelosi and attacking paul because of her duties in congress. the pelosi statement, demonstrated courage on the night of the attack a year ago and in the courtroom this week. thankfully powell pelosi continues to make progress in his recovery. he talked about how this attack has caused him headaches. he said it's getting better. >> we also heard from david depape and he continued to spew his conspiracy theories about certain leaders in this country and talked about that's the reason why he went to the pelosi home, because he wanted to lure someone else and use nancy pelosi to do that but the jury

in this case didn't buy that and that's why they reached this guilty verdict today. >> dana, thank you so much for your reporting on the ground there. an nbc news exclusive this hour. we've obtained never before seen footage showing alec baldwin handling a prop gun. this was the video recorded before the film's cinematographer was killed. take a watch. >> i'm getting up. when he drops his arm -- >> rolling, rolling. >> in the path of the gun, could you please move? >> wait a second. i'm going to shoot right, mind going on the other side of the camera. i asked for the blank like three times. what's that called from the ground here?

>> let's dig into this with danny savales and chloe melas. >> this is first time we're seeing alec baldwin in actual film footage from the set of "rust" previously the santa fe's sheriff's office released a dump of different footage, body cam video from the authorities on the day that halayna hutchins had died and baldwin doing a cross-draw from footage but we had never seen him interacting with the cast and the crew, we hear halayna's voice in there and firing actual prop guns on the set, it really gives us an inside look of what was going on and i have to say watching these videos, you hear him looking out for the crew. you hear him in the producer role and in the actor role and even at one point in one of the videos saying he doesn't want to

point the gun in someone's direction. >> danny, some legal analysis, to chloe's point the grand jury's going to convene soon, how might this footage impact their decisions, do you think it's favorable for baldwin? >> i do. to me the video show that alec baldwin was on an old west movie set shooting firearms. that's what you do on an old west state. if the state thinks they're going to use this as evidence of him shooting guns on the set, that's to be expected about gunslingers in the old west. here's the thing, not so much what my eyes see, ultimately this case is prosecuted, it's going to be what expert witnesses say, expert witnesses from both sides will look at that video and if there's some standard of care that's deviated

from they'll testify to that and they'll be experts in both firearm safety and movie set safety. those are different experts. i've used both. they testify to very different things. there are a number of problems with this case. >> so many different players, hannah gutierrez-reed. time for today's money minute oil prices are on a down swing and it's the end of era for a popular restaurant chain. crude oil prices plummeted 5% today. trading at the lowest level since early june, industrial production is slowly. decreasing demand. the sector is combatting seasonal factors with demand slowing in the winter. meantime, hyundai and amazon

communications but this one area of cooperation stemming the flow of fentanyl where more can be done tangibly, we understand from the white house in china they've september a notice warning them of engaging in any illicit with these kind of drugs, that we know from the global supply chain end up being sent to mexico sometimes. where they're combined with other lethal drugs including fentanyl and smuggled into the u.s. through the southern border. so given the fact that the u.s. said china has taken law enforcement action on that they're at least a little bit encouraged, that seems to be some progress, but again, there's something very clear here that suggests there's still time needs to happen before we know whether any real advances are made. >> new reporting, it seems china could be extending an olive

>> pull and push. >> reporter: the doctor says there are cases that surgery is the best option. larger medical system set up to incentive surgeries? >> as surgeon you make your money doing surgeries most surgeons want to do surgery and not just because they make money by doing it but because they think it's right thing to do. >> reporter: the knee he says may be more resilient than previously believed. let's bring in nbc news medical fellow for some analysis here. what happens exactly with a torn acl and why are they so common. >> about 100,000 to 200,000 in the united states alone. acl is the ligament, the part that connects your thigh bone to your shin bone. what happens, the people who

tear their acl, it's a lot of sudden start and stop movements. i had a friend in college who tore it playing basketball with his niece. it can be anything. 100,000 to 200,000 cases of. >> lot of people. to liz's report, who might most benefit from these nonsurgical treatments. >> it's a new protocol, in less than a hundred patients, when you think of who can benefit from this, i'm an internal medicine, when people come to me they want to have these risky surgeries you look at their heart history, lung history, kidney history, any time you go under the knife it's potential risk. if we can move into nonoperative treatment and save patients at risk lot of people can benefit. >> anyone who think should go under the knife. >> yeah, you know, we don't have

long-term data on this yet, this is relatively small study. but in terms of who should get surgery when you're talking about tissue damage, it depends on how severe it is, a full tear, a small tear, something that you can't walk up the stairs anymore. you have to take these factors into account. >> what should people do to minimize that risk. >> a whole lot of lips from the hospital system here in new york. it focuses on awareness of your movements. the first one being exercise all year round, particularly strengthening your hamstring and quads. avoid exercising when you're too tired. bad form can lead to injury. are you planting one way and twisting the other? >> not skipping leg day,
