"nbc news daily" starts right now. >> today, tuesday, september 17th, 2024. breaking news, mogul behind bars. shaun diddy comes makes his first court appearance since being arrested here in new york. among the federal charges he is facing, sex trafficking and racketeering. we're outside the courthouse with the latest on what's happening inside. also breaking, deadly explosions. hundreds of handheld pagers detonate across lebanon and syria. what we're learning about those killed and who's being blamed. >> countdown to christmas, yes, christmas. major retailers are already rolling out steep holiday discounts where you can score the best deals right now. >> and saving your skin, whether you call it a pimple, a spot, a blemish, dealing with acne, no fun. but have no fear. dr. pimple popper is here with her breakout tips. i love that got the attention of laura jarrett sitting here

watching. >> everybody needs to know. it was a really good tease. we're going to begin with that major breaking news out of new york city. the new federal charges against music mogul sean "diddy" combs. his months-long legal saga enters a new chapter now and a warning before we get started on this story, there is going to be discussion of sexual violence. sean combs faces federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. combs was arrested last night in new york city. and has not yet entered a plea that we know of on these charges, although we're waiting to hear about that. his lawyers had said he would plead not guilty. the charges against him were unsealed in a sprawling federal indictment this morning. >> prosecutors allege combs created, quote, a criminal enterprise. the u.s. attorney in new york spoke about the charges earlier today. listen. >> combs used force, threats of force, and coercion to cause victims to engage in extended sexual performances with male commercial sex workers.

some of whom he transported or caused to be transported over state lines. combs allegedly planned and controlled the sex performances, which he called freak offs. and he often electronically recorded them. >> leading us off this hour, nbc news correspondent eric mclaughlin outside the courthouse in lower manhattan and here with us on set is senior legal correspondent laura jarrett. erin, let's start with you. what do we know now? any word from inside the courthouse? >> reporter: hey, ellison, we're still waiting for news. as you can see behind me, the world media has gathered outside the courthouse here in new york city. this was expected to be an arraignment hearing. we're expecting for sean combs to enter a plea. we do expect that plea to be not guilty. and the key question going into this hearing is will the judge determine that he should remain in pretrial detention or would

they set bail terms, and if those bail terms are set, could sean combs meet those terms. the prosecution arguing he should remain in custody prior to the trial in legal documents, in a letter to the court, saying, quote, he has already trying to obstruct the government's investigation of this case, repeatedly contacting victims and witnesses and feeding them false narratives of events. there are

>> in preparation for this moments, sean combs paid off his $18 million mortgage and also reiterating his innocence. so that is where we are at this point. it's unclear if that issue will be decided today. >> okay. thank you so much, erin. let me go to -- too many es on the set. laura, let me go to you. this indictment lays out a scathing charges, and it's harrowing to read. what are the strongest pieces from the prosecution of evidence. >> one of the things we learned today is they interviewed more than 50 victims and/or witnesses involved. we had known some of these people had gone in front of the grand jury, but they're talking to a lot more people, which is not unexpected but gives you a sense of the scope, and the u.s. attorney made clear, this may not be over. this may be the first cut at

what we see about sean "diddy" combs and they can do a superseding indictment to involve more defendants, more details, but just based on what we know now, the level of violence, both physical, sexual, emotional, and this stretches back decades. we're talking about stretching back to 2008, 2009. it speaks to sort of the significance of it, and what he's facing here, again, minimum is 15 years, up to life in prison. so it's quite detailed and quite significant. >> we did see all these different civil lawsuits of late. there was one in particular that alleged one of his children was involved in possibly nefarious behavior on a yacht. was that mentioned? >> one of the things you see oftentimes is civil lawsuits prompt a federal investigation. it appears that may have been what happened here. it wasn't as if the feds were looking at diddy and this comes out. it was that first complaint from cassie we remember and then the video which they mentioned in the complaint today. they may have other people we don't know about. all of that will come out at

trial. >> thanks to you both. former president trump is set to return to the campaign trail tonight for the first time since sunday's apparent assassination attempt. >> the white house says vice president harris spoke with the former president over the phone earlier today, after president biden did the same thing yesterday. both of them saying they are thankful that trump is safe. acting director of the secret service ronald rowe also talked with the former president. rowe says the agency needs to change from a, quote, reactive model to a readiness model after the second apparent attempt on mr. trump's life in two months. >> nbc news correspondent dasha burns is in west palm beach, florida, and joins us now. talk to us about what the trump campaign is saying in terms of possible additional security measures tonight. >> reporter: well, the trump campaign has asked for additional secret service protection, and the secret service says they're providing the highest level affthis point. and officials tell nbc news the agency has really ramped up

their protection responsibilities over the course of this campaign season, and particularly after july 13th, that assassination attempt on the former president in butler, pennsylvania, that they made some reassessments after that and added additional resources including people and technology, but of course, you mentioned it there at the beginning, the acting secret service director says he wants to rethink the paradigm of how they approach protecting the folks that they are in charge of, especially in this political climate, ellison. >> and trump and his running mate jd vance have been blaming the political violence on rhetoric from democrats. they have also used sharp language when they talk about their political opponents. what is the campaign saying about the climate right now? >> reporter: well, look, it's a really different approach than what we saw in the aftermath of the assassination attempt in july. after that, the former president for at least a little while there, did call for unity. he had sort of a more reflective

tone. this time around, no such calls for unity. sort of went straight to pointing the finger at democrats for the rhetoric that they're using, claiming that is what is causing these attempts on his life. the campaign actually sent out a long email earlier today with a list of quotes from president biden, from vice president harris, from democratic lawmakers, many of them claims that the former president is a threat to democracy. but for context, the former president, his campaign have also used that term when it comes to talking about their political opponents as well, guys. >> dasha burns in west palm beach, florida, thank you. parts of the east coast are drying out after what forecasters called a once in a thousand year rain storm. >> believe it or not, some areas of north carolina reported more than 15 inches of rain in just 12 hours on monday. several people had to be rescued from flooded cars and homes. roads are still washed out in some places today, and a lot of folks are just now getting a

chance to assess the damage. nbc news correspondent marissa parra is in charlotte, north carolina. marissa, i understand it hasn't been as severe in terms of damage where you are, but other parts of the state just got drenched. walk us through which areas really saw the worst of it, and how much do they have to clean up? >> reporter: hey, guys. i want to show you a small example of how much of a difference 24 hours can make. this little sugar creek next to me, it is flowing pretty softly and gently next to me, but what you're going to see is video of yesterday. this is just an example of how intense the last 24 hours were. i want to take you to video of what we saw along the coast of carolina, specifically carolina beach. they declared a state of emergency. they saw over 15 inches of rain in 12 hours. we saw cars stranded, people on top of their cars, in need of rescuing. we also saw highway 17, hundreds of cars stalled out there. we saw roadways washed away. so a lot of people impacted by

this storm that never turned into a hurricane and never turned into a tropical cyclone, but this is an example of a storm not needing a name to do a lot of damage. >> that's for sure. marissa, thank you so much. it is time now for today's cnbc money minute. starbucks north america ceo is set to retire. >> and amazon's next prime day only a week away. kate rogers joins us now. hey, kate. >> starbucks newly appointed ceo launched a turnaround plan in the u.s., starbucks announced its north america ceo will retire after 11 years at the company, and just five months into that current role. ancestry and genetics testing company 23andme has agreed to pay $30 million to settle a data breach lawsuit that affected nearly 7 million users. the class action lawsuit which was filed in january this year alleges the company didn't properly alert customers that

a major move from meta today, introducing new protections meant to keep kids safer onr on instagram, startin today, the company will now automatically move all new teen users on instagram into what's called a teen account. it will limit who can contact those deans and the content that they can see. it comes after years of criticism aimed at the company claiming that meta deliberately targets its youngest users where. a federal lawsuit involving dozens of states accused meta of

contributing to a mental health crisis among young people. let's bring in maya, tracking all this. walk us through first off how this new teen account works. >> meta is saying this is a tool for parents to have more control over what their teens are doing online. the first thing that a teen account does is make an account completely private. it's also going to filter out inappropriate language, suggestive or sensitive content, and kind of put barriers on that fyp, for you page. parents will also be able to set screen time limits for their teens and they're launching this thing called sleep mode which is going to pause ig notifications from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. mete is saying this is not only to promote better sleeping patterns but to help with mental health as well. >> and that happens automatically, it's going to top showing you your instant messages. i think about this as a parent and i think, kids get around

everything. they know how to get around the rules. there's been fake instagram pages for a while now. what's to say a kid doesn't just lie about how old they are? >> it's a concern that is complete valid and i don't know if meta has 100% guaranteed solution for it yet, but they did say that they're going to be starting this rollover account for users that have already self-identified as 18 or younger. and then they're going to be using artificial intelligence tools to kind of help scan and monitor users they suspect might be lying about their age, so looking at the content that they're engaging with, some of the things they're saying online. we actually spoke to meta's global head of safety. savannah sellers spoke with her this morning about this. let's take a listen. >> when you sign up, you still get stated age, but when we're asking you to verify your age, we'll ask you to provide an id or we have a system that actually reads your facial features to identify whether you're over 18 or under 18.

>> so the rollout is going to start today. it could take up to 60 days for all accounts to be turned over to those instagram teen accounts. >> an interesting time. thank you so much. kate, can you believe it? it's already here. 'tis the season. that's why we're here in the cozy living room, the fire is going, the stockings hung. some might be saying hold on, it's only september 17th. you wouldn't know it because the holiday shopping season is in full swing. major retailers unwrapping special deals right now to give consumers and to get consumers, rather, in a giving mood before the winter holiday and nearly half of americans say they plan on buying their gifts before halloween. senior business correspondent christine romans is here to help us with all of the details. let's start with the deals. we mentioned amazon prime day coming up a minute ago, but there are a lot of deals on the horizon. >> absolutely, and october is really going to be the month where you're going to see big

deals from names you have heard of, the target circle, amazon's big deal days, also best buy is going to have deals. the idea here is that the big brands have seen how savvy and discriminating consumers are, and they want to make sure they're giving you a lot of options to buy stuff. so listen to what one expert told us. >> what we are seeing now are retailers trying to beat amazon at their own game, so they're coming out with their flashy sale maybe a week before amazon prime day. i do expect a lot of activity around that early october timeframe, so if you are open to starting to shop early, that's kind of when i would target my attention. >> a lot of people are open to shopping early. i was so surprised. it's almost half say they're going to start or finish their christmas shopping this year by halloween. >> i know a lot of people do judge early shopping, but from a budget perspective, is that a good way to stick to a budget? >> i think come on, i haven't even put away the pool towels.

i saw sand in the back seat of the car from going to the beach and you're talking about holiday shopping but if it gives you the time to stick to a budget, the time to be able to pay off your purchases, then by all means, make a list, check it twice. and make sure you don't have a bunch of credit card debt. i was concerned about 27% of shoppers this year say they're probably going to put this stuff on credit cards. that comes with 20% and 30% interest rates. this is a really terrible time, even with the fed this week likely cutting interest rates, a really bad time to put money on plastic and keep it there. so use this time, put on your santa hat, use this time, make your list. buy your gifts. you'll see a lot of these very good deals that are going to be competing for your dollar. >> all right. great advice, as always. thank you so much. you're wating "nbc news ch you'll find them in cities, towns and suburbs all across america. millions of americans who have medicare and medicaid but may be missing benefits they could really

raff, this is a really unusual story, pagers involved, and quickly developing. what do we know at the moment? >> reporter: kate, it is like something out of a spy thriller. hezbollah says that around 3:30 p.m. beirut time, hundreds of these pagers belonging to its members exploded simultaneously. we're seeing videos of these explosions going off in supermarkets, people walking down the street, people on the backs of motorcycles. now, 2700 people all across lebanon injured, according to the health ministry. you're seeing emergency rooms flooded and many of these wounded people have identical injuries, explosions at their waist, where these pagers went off, either on their belts, in their pockets, in a man's bag as you saw in that cctv video. lebanon is considering this a public health emergency. as you said, iran's ambassador among those wounded.

iran, of course, is a major, major backer of hezbollah. but at least one child apparently killed by these blasts, according to hezbollah. hezbollah is blaming israel. and they say that they will retaliate. guys. >> do we expect to hear any sort of response from the israeli military or government? >> reporter: at this point, the israeli government is refusing to say one way or another whether it was involved in what appears to be an intelligence operation on a scale unlike anything we have ever seen. these explosions in beirut did come a couple hours after israel says it foiled an assassination plot that hezbollah was attempting to carry out here in israel, and there are really widespread fears at this point in this country that hezbollah's retaliation could come soon. israel's top military leaders meeting tonight to prepare potential defenses. guys. >> thank you. you're not going to want to

there are pressure changes, big temperature changes, it gets colder. there's the physical exertion of moving the hatch. so it was rather intense. >> this was the fifth private mission for spacex's dragon capsule and the most ambitious expedition. you'll hear a lot more from the crew tonight on nbc nightly news with lester holt. jordan chiles is fighting to get her olympic bronze medal back, and it is not over yet. the team usa gymnast has filed a new appeal to try to overturn the controversial ruling during the paris games that stripped her of her third place finish in the floor routine. let's bring in correspondent stephanie gosk who has been watching this one. remind us why chiles' bronze medal was revoked and what is the case? >> go back to the floor final. she finished in fifth place and her coach said, hang on a second, that doesn't sound right. she contested that score, the score was revised, and then jordan chiles won the bronze.

now, the celebration didn't last long, just a few days later, she was stripped of that medal because the court of arbitration for sports determined that the inquest into the score was four seconds late. you only have apparently a minute to make that request. now they are appealing. one of the reasons they're appealing is they have actual video evidence, video that was shot for simone biles' documentary, on the floor, they say shows that the coach actually asked for the score to be revised before the one-minute mark twice. actually. but this whole episode has been, as you can imagine, just torturous for jordan chiles and really rough. she's been getting very hateful and often racist responses and backlash on social media. this is what she had to say, her reaction to how tough it's been. listen to this. >> the biggest thing for me was -- that it was the

recognition of who i was. not just my sport but my -- the person i am. to me, everything that has gone on is not about the medal. it's about, you know, my skin color. >> you can see how tough it's been on her. it now rests in the hands of the swiss federal tribunal to determine whether they have grounds to appeal and whether they should win. it could last a couple months to make a determination. >> there's also been some controversy surrounding the head of the arbitration panel that ruled against chiles. can you explain that? >> yeah, the head of the panel who ruled in favor of the romanian gymnast who got the bronze medal had actually represented romania in past and present cases. now, the cas, the court of arbitration for sport tells us they told all the parties involved about his participation in those cases, and no one had any objection to it, including usa gymnastics. >> steph gosk, thanks.

in today's daily health, a virus that causes paralyzing illness is spreading across the united states. >> waste water samples have detected a significant escalation in a virus that's called evd-68. in rare cases, that virus has been linked to afm, an illness that directly affects the nervous system and can cause polio-like symptoms. let's bring in medical contributor dr. vin gupta for a closer look at this. what is this d-68 virus, and why is finding it in waste water something we might care about? >> we see this every few years where this is a virus, a respiratory virus we don't talk a lot about, but it caused sniffles and it's something we tend to ignore. this is literally the cause of the common cold, stay at home, rest, recuperate. what we have seen is in rare cases it can cause acute paralysis. it means it causes temporarily

but over time, paralysis of the upper and lower muscles that hopefully improves over time, but it can be very serious, especially amongst kids. >> how prevalent is this? you're saying it starts with sniffles. what are the rough odds, i guess, it's just the cold sniffles and it could be one of these. >> exceptionally rare. we're talking about 1 in 100,000 cases. even in a spike, a season where it's spiking. it seems to skip a year, so we're talking about 200 cases in 2018, a few hundred cases in 2020. we don't really know why. what it appears though is children with severe asthma are most at risk. so this impacts children, but especially those that might be immuno compromised, that's the risk. >> extremely rare, but for the few people who do end up with this, it can be extremely dangerous and scary. what do we look for, if you might be concerned you have this? >> what we tend to see in these

cases is sniffles, flu-like symptoms for a few days. then it progresses, and usually an inability to control head movement and then it progresses. difficulty breathing in some cases. likely not being able to lift your arms above your head or to neck level. those are the signs. so progressive weakness rapidly onsets. really for a severe asthmatic, you have to dial in your prescriptions, get your refills in order, get your vaccines. >> give us the look ahead, talk about treatment options. is there a vaccine on the horizon? >> no vaccine, unfortunately, not yet. there are promising treatments. monoclonal antibodies. probably not available for the next few years. that's where parents of children with severe asthma are already vigilant. they're already doing the right things, but it's messaging to make sure refills are done,

vaccine schedules are followed, and vigilance. >> dr. vin gupta, appreciate you. up next, whether you're struggling with acne or the occasional pimple, dealing with breakouts can be frustrating. well, dr. pimple popper is going to walk us through the dos and don'ts.

we have blackheads and whiteheads. some cysts as well. >> looks like this person is using this technique. part kleenex, part glove. >> get in there. >> you like these videos. >> it's not pretty to watch, but if you're one of those people like ellison who just can't look away, you are not alone. pimple popping. >> they are videos all over social media, and it's not surprising considering acne is the most common skin condition in the united states. and according to the academy of dermatology, it affects up to 50 million americans annually. despite the common misconception it's only a problem for teenagers, dermatologists say it can happen at any age and in

many forms. joining us now is the dr. pimple popper, board certified dermatologist dr. sandra lee. as kate said, i love watching these videos. my sister is a superfan of yours. this is like the only time she'll be like, you do have a cool job. it's truly an honor. talk to us about acne, pimples, blemishes. there's also types people can have. talk to us about how we approach it and how do we get rid of the bumps we don't want particularly on our faces? >> yeah, acne, it's the same thing, zits, pimples, they're all the same thing, but there's different types. like black heads and white heads. there's assists, nodules. they're all a form of acne, and this happens to most of us at some time in our life, especially during our teenage years when our hormones are at peak. >> so what's the best advice on how to prevent acne in the first place? is it as simple as washing our face at night?

is it investing in some complicated skin care routine? >> i think a lot of that depend des on the type of acne you have or the level of severity. i think if you're just starting to get acne or getting some bumps, go to over-the-counter ingredients. there are some great ingredients like retinol, there's pimple patches. there's benzol peroxide. there's things that can help you without seeing a dermatologist. if your acne is more severe, you want to probably see a dermatologist. >> so i always hear, and i have been told this since i was a teen, if you get a spot, leave it alone. it is the hardest thing in the world to do. is that still the advice, we should leave it be and let it ride out its course? >> i mean, that's always my general advice. all of us as dermatologists because you can go too far. i think a lot of us have found ourselves maybe going too far. and if you squeeze something too hard, there's risk for infection, risk for bleed, risk for permanent scarring. so we don't want someone to do

that to themselves. >> except then we see your videos where you're popping pimples. is that because you're a professional and a doctor and you know what you're doing? >> well, i think that -- i try to instruct people the most ideal time to pop a pimple because a lot of us can't help ourselves, and i think that education is key, so people understand that there probably is an ideal time to do it that is going to minimize the risk of infection and bleeding and scarring, then that's what they should know. this is me watching other people pop pimples. >> i see, yeah. >> sometimes, i'll notice especially if it's close to my cycle during the month or if i'm at work and having a lot of people touching my face, i'll notice a breakout. i tried pimple patches, the ten-step korean skin care routine, i found a peel i love, but what is the best treatment option, especially if you're like, i don't think i have cystic acne or a severe issue, but i need more help here and there? what do you do? >> i think, well, there's

different levels. it depends on the level of your acne and the level of your comfort with your acne. acne is not going to threaten your life in any way, but it can certainly affect you physically and also psychosocially. especially teenagers at a really delicate time in life where we're trying to figure out our place in the world. if you have acne, it can really change potentially the development of your personality and your interaction with others. it really depends. i think if you have a level of severity you're not satisfied with how your skin looks and you can't get it cleared up with over-the-counter medications or treatments, then seek out a dermatologist. >> just quickly, medications for acne, i know some of them can be pretty strong medications and have side effects and risks to them. what do you advise on that? >> there are some great medications that really can change people's lives, really. with severe acne. they require a lot of monitoring like accutane, there's other

medications like birth control pills can help. antibiotics and these are all prescriptions. again, that goes into the category of you seeing a dermatologists. >> you touched a little on the mental health aspect of this. what is your advice when you're talking to patients who say hey, i have a lot of anxiety because of my acne, how do you tackle the acne and the mental health aspect? >> so much of this, and all of the things i do, have a lot to do with control. you want to make sure you feel in control of your skin. when you have acne and it really distresses you, it makes you feel that loss of control. i try to give people that control back. so if you have acne that really makes you unhappy, sorry, my cat is here now. if it makes you feel really if it makes you feel really unhappy, seek out treatment. —ooh, a timeout. —incoming dishes! —ahhh! —duck! with dawn powerwash, he can fly through 99% of grease and grime in half the time. oh, my-gration. look at him go!

on sfo's own brand. the port of oakland argues the new title would clarify to travelers that oakland is another gateway to the bay area. our velena jones is following this court drama. she will have more for us at our newscast at 430. the first day of fall is almost here. enjoy this cooler weather while you can because we are in for a warm up. here's meteorologist kari hall with our extended forecast. today we're starting out with a lot of clouds headed for sunshine and temperatures in the mid seconds today. and then it becomes mostly cloudy again with a chance of showers and potentially some thunderstorms. the chance of thunderstorms is very slight, but that will also keep those temperatures down with all of the clouds. and then as it clears out on thursday, we are going to start a warming trend. and it gets really warm, even hot. going into the weekend. fall begins on sunday morning and we'll see those afternoon temperatures in the low 90s mid 90s on monday. while

you get a non-renewal letter, you have to take action. consumer investigator chris chmura shows us how. when your home insurance company drops you, the state requires them to give you 75 days notice. that sounds like a lot of time, but in insurance, 75 days isn't a lot of time. so step one start shopping for new insurance immediately. don't delay shopping. get shopping right away. get in touch with an independent agent. amy bock heads the nonprofit united policyholders, which helps homeowners. she says independent agents might work with lesser known companies that might take you on as a new customer. amy's

not the only one who recommends shopping around quickly, so does the insurance industry, say, researching for a new policy drags on. we'll ask your old company if they'll keep you computers or making some insurance industry decisions with the data they chu on might change. so as those 75 days tick away, call your old insurance company and ask them, will you keep me? as a last resort? you might have to go to what's called the california fair plan. it's expensive and it only covers fire. you'll likely need a separate policy for things like break ins and leaks settling that could take days or weeks. so that's why it's so important to get started early. get shopping right away. thanks, chris. san francisco leaders are pushing to protect small businesses. supporters say legacy small businesses are being squeezed out of the city at the mercy of proposed redevelopment. supervisor president aaron peskin is among those who believe business owners need added protection. so he plans to introduce a new
