"nbc news daily" starts right now. today, wednesday, september 18th, 2024. breaking news.

rate drop, the federal reserve cuts interest rates for the first time in four years. how soon until you feel the impact on your credit cards, your mortgage payments and your savings account. also breaking, new explosions, another round of deadly blasts inside of lebanon targeting even more electronic devices. how israel reportedly managed to rig the pagers that exploded yesterday. and got them into the hands of hezbollah operatives. making his case. sean "diddy" combs is set to appear back in court today. how the music mogul is hoping to appeal the decision to keep him behind bars. and getting schooled. a new report takes a look at how teens are using artificial intelligence in and out of the classroom. it's an illuminating lesson. parents, be sure you take notes. we'll get to all of at. but we begin this hour with that breaking news about your money. the federal reserve has cut interest rates for the first

time since the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic. the fed is now reducing rates by half a percentage point after raising rates or keeping them steady for years to combat rising inflation. everyday essentials like food, gas and housing is still expensive but the impact since it peaked two summers ago. shortly after the decision, federal chair jerome powell explained why they cut rates. >> the policy set to be adopted in july 2023 came at a time when unemployment was 3.5%. and inflation was 4.2%. today, unemployment is 4.2% and inflation is a few above 2. so we know it's time to recalibrate our appeals to something that is more appropriate, given the progress on inflation and on employment. >> leading us off this hour, nbc

news senior business correspondent christine romans. christine, so experts weren't sure. >> yeah. >> how much they would cut interest rates by and we get this half a percentage point what does that mean. >> well, they got into the meeting and they started talking about the balance and the risk. they wanted to go big. this is a strong signal. he said it himself, the job market is strong, the economy is growing at a moderate pace and we want to keep it that way, they said. that's why we cut the rates. some thought they might do a smaller one, but this sends a message that lower rates are coming. they don't need to be as high as they are, inflation is under control. and now you want to make sure inflation isn't too high that actually hurts the economy and tips it in another direction. >> it's like a balancing act. >> exactly. >> what does this mean for our mortgages, your credit cards, or savings accounts? >> it means mortgage rates are already down in anticipation,

down two points and probably go into the spring. that's good if you're refinancing. it's good if you're looking to buy a home. they're still quite high, to be honest. car rates are still quite high. i would say be careful are credit card debt. you know -- >> yeah. >> it's like can't do it on my forehead. and if you have money in a high-yield savings account where you're getting 4%, 5%, keep it there for now. watch it carefully to see how quickly those rates go down. because the first time in a long time, you're paid to be a saver. now that's starting to shift back again. >> and this is all tied to inflation, the decision today. >> yeah. >> which is top of mind for so many americans today. the cost of things, that better or worse than the inflation rate? just a few ticks above 2%, that's where the fed wants it to be. the job market is still strong. >> balancing keeping the job market strong and making sure

inflation is coming down. inflation was terrible, 9 plus a few summers ago. that really hurt. nouts a more manageable pace. i mean it still hurts inflation adds on to higher prices you're still paying more for groceries than four years ago, but the fed think it's important to lower rates and protect those. >> christine romans, thank you so much. more breaking news, this time overseas, a new round of deadly devices in lebanon. state medial reports today's explosions involve walkie-talkies, at least 14 people have been killed today, hundreds more hurt. it comes after pagers exploded yet. two officials tell nbc news that israel was behind that attack which killed 12 people and injured thousands. let's bring in the nbc news correspondent following all of it from london for us.

danielle, i know we don't know if israel is behind today's explosions, though it does appear to be similar to what we saw happened yesterday. what are we hearing inside lebanon about these latest attacks? >> reporter: well, i think, and in the words of one local lebanese official i heard today, the sense is with all of the intelligence israel has it cannot claim to have not known that civilians would be targeted. some journalists were, in fact, at a funeral today held for those that were killed yesterday, when they heard a number of explosions among the devices, as you mentioned, two-way radios that were detonated. state media saying some people were seen with a device exploding in their hands. fire breaking out in dozens, but 60 shops and homes, vehicles on fire, motorcycles on fire as well. so fewer explosions than

yesterday but seems to have a bigger impact, kate. >> the israel prime minister said we've entered, quote, a new phase of the war. how concerned are we about the concern getting larger, expanding? >> reporter: well, it seems like there's always concerns, certainly. it feels like a new sense of urgency, weeks if not months, american officials have talked about the need to lower the temperature. it's hard to see how this attack today does just that. and so, yeah, officials have talked about the focus now being in the northern front. and you favor the war starting, and this was a coup for israeli officials for the israeli intelligence apparatus. and for hezbollah, it's been a humiliating 48 hours, no doubt. this will degrade their communication capabilities, but they will regroup. and israel has made the return of tens of thousands of israeli families to the north a war

goal. that was announced by netanyahu just this week. how this attack helped them get there, that is very unclear at the moment. >> danielle, thank you so much. sean "diddy" combs will be back in court today as his lawyers try to get him out of jail ahead of an expected trial. combs' attorneys are appealing a decision made yesterday to keep him in pretrial detention. the billionaire music mogul pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering charges. prosecutors allege combs created a criminal enterprise and used drugs is violence and intimidation to fuel hours and days' long sex parties. i want to bring until nbc news legal analyst danny cevallos now.

>> combs' team has the burden. while the bail does create a default position defendants that's a lot they're offering the prosecutors, though, are saying he's a flight risk. we don't trust it. so is the judge going to have to consider here? >> there's a lot of focus on this 50 million number, but really when it comes to bail, everything is relative. 50 million to p. diddy is a lot more than $10,000 to the average person making bail. the number is not what the court is focusing on. the court is focusing on two things, whether he's a flight risk and whether he's a danger to community. and normally, the bail reform act creating a preference that defendants are allowed to remain out. sometimes that splits with certain crimes. sex trafficking is one of those crimes that creates a rebuttal presumption that the defendant will be detained. and that's what the defense is trying to do they're not arguing the facts in the allegation.

they're, instead saying, court, trust us. he's not a danger. he came to new york on his own. he's putting up tons of money, a house, he's turning over his passport. his family members are turning over their passports. they're trying to demonstrate this guy is not a flight risk and not a danger to the community. >> what happens if he remains in jail the whole time? is it hard for the legal team to create a defense for him, i assume being behind bars is not easy. >> that's such a great question, as a defense attorney, it is so much harder to prepare for trial when your client is that you have to get in the car, drive to, and wait in the waiting room for an hour and you can only take notes, other than picking up the phone and to a defendant that is not in custody. it is a tremendous disadvantage to have a client defendant who

in custody. it's a tremendous advantage to the prosecution. today for cnbc's money minute, youtube announced new a.i. features. and the viral trader joe's tote bag, they're back. kate rooney joins us now. hi. >> hi, kate, they are back. we're starting with youtube, youtube announcing it's adding new generative platforms. the ceo said the new features are going to roll out the rest of the year, insuddenly six-second a.i.-generated clips. the clips will be water marked and to clearly show the viewers it was created with a.i. tupperware, meanwhile, has filed for bankruptcy as the lawsuits continue to pile up, and struggling to turn around the business after reporting several quarters of slowing sales. the jump in cost to raw material and labor has dented tupperware's margins.

teachers don't often offer clear rules how to use a.i. in the classroom. we got a look at the new report. for most teens, artificial intelligence is now a compart of their lives, common sense media found 7 out of 10 teens, 79 to 18 use generative tools like google gemini and that take a prompt and question and answer instantly. teens said they use ai when they're bored or for language translation. but most often for homework. >> the biggest takeaway for me is that ai is moving very fast, that parents and teachers are pretty much out of the loop so that young people are using a.i. platforms with virtually no guidance. >> reporter: jim steyer is ceo and founder of common sense media. >> there is a gap in what parents think they're doing and what they're really doing. >> there's a huge gap, because kids are more savvy about a.i. and they're using it more freakily than the parents are. >> reporter: according to the survey, only 37% of parents whose teens use ai knew their

kids were using it. >> you're trying your very best just to keep up knowing you're behind. >> reporter: this is a child welfare attorney. her 16-year-old savannah is a junior in high school who dances four times a week. >> i love it. it's stressful sometimes, but i've stuck with it my entire life. >> it does sound like you have a pretty big schedule. >> yeah. >> you have a busy life. >> that was mostly one of the reasons why i ended up resorting to chatgpt to help. >> reporter: last school year, savannah's physics teacher left and she found herself trying to catch up on her own. >> i wasn't understanding what was happening in class in real time. >> so you would use chatgpt to sort of teach you? >> yes. after school i would go to chatgpt to understand what the topic was being taught. >> did you know all the tools she was using, ai tools? >> i did not know all the a.i. tools that savy was using. >> you were surprised to hear some of it? >> i'm disappointed that the

pace of the class got to the point where you she had to find her own resources. >> yeah. >> but i'm very proud that she found a way to teach herself independently. i think that aspect of ai is great. >> have you guys talked, had conversations about a.i. much? >> in terms of ai in daily life, not so much. >> reporter: muna isn't alone. nearly half of parents say they have not talked to their teens about ai and 83% of parents say their school has not communicated with them about ai policies. teens are often unclear on school policies, too. >> some teachers are willing to allow you to use it to study. other teachers are like, absolutely no. >> reporter: common sense says it's important for parents to get ahead of the curve. >> parents need to take test drives with their kids and learn with their kids how ai works. >> sit there side by side with your kid. >> reporter: they recommend teaching kids who use ai for schoolwork to fact check

responses and helping them form the right prompt to get the most out of ai while not overly relying on it. muna agrees. >> how about a hard question like how do you end world poverty? >> it's important they hold fast to knowing that they have an authentic voice, that the magic is in the creativity that they generate, and i think maybe just raising the awareness of what's not good. having more conversations at the dinner table is what i see as one of the mechanisms to get our children through. >> that is true. conversation is everything. common sense media says that they have learned from what happened when social media took over our kids' lives with very few guard rails there. jim steyer says with a.i., we have a chance to get ahead of the ways. they're looking at open platforms like openai anthropic and looking at resources for schools. have you ever shopped online

using the website teemu or shein, they're chinese companies that sell items at extremely low prices but those prices may not remain low for long. that is because the white house is cracking down on exemptions to customs law that helped keep teemu and shein prices very low. >> reporter: he's been selling $1400 a day on platforms teemu and shein. but now, the business model could appear, he says. he and vendors sell at super market prices to americans thanks in part to the way the models connect chinese factories to u.s. consumers by shipping directly from china. this is one of many in china, supplying to teemu and shein is a market.

in today's modern parenting, we can all agree that we want to raise healthy, healthy, thriving children even if we disagree sometimes on how to do that. some experts say that one way is having kids play by themselves. especially during the early stages of brain development. they call it independent play. and research is suggesting that it can help kids build critical life skills. joining me now is lip smith, she's a journalist and host of the stroller and hosting podcast. that's such a great if name. lynn, let's talk about independent play. first off, what are we talking

about when we say that? >> you say the parents are nearby, and it's letting your children play either by themselves, or with somebody, you're nearby, you're facilitating something for them, just like critical thinking, problem solving. and leadership skills like a play mate. you're in charge now, my boys, 8 and 5, they'll go out and play army. and then all of a sudden, mom, i'm captain. those are the kind of skills that parents are on top of their kids. >> telling them what to do. i get, there's research here. and there's new research, advantages to do this. they say it helps with cognitive, emotional skills. when you do play with your kids then, what's the balance there? as a working parent, when i came home, all i wanted to do is sit

down on the floor and play with my kids the whole time? >> and as parents, you say, i don't have time to do it. with the podcast, it takes parenting experts to give us this knowledge. a parenting expert told us if you only take 15 minutes intense play, you're not looking at your phone, actually, the sibling may not be involved, you with your child, that's all you need. >> 15 minutes a day. >> i hope that for parents it takes the guilt out. it really did for me. on the other side, they said children should be outside playing in nature for three hours a day. think about that, are you even home for three hours a day? we're all so busy. so you should be, your child, hob independently playing for three hours. >> that puts us in the research that i read about, overscheduling our kids, you put them in so many activities, myself included, that they don't have the three hours a day to

make things up and be creative. >> we think that structure is giving them critical skills that we're talking about here. in fact, it's doing the opposite. they're not out there and developing a skill on their own. it's too structured is what a lot of the experts are pointing out. >> what if you have a child that's a little clingy. >> and i love you for it. >> yes, it's mom, come play. mom, come play. you teach your kids the importance so they learn this isn't about mom not wanting to play. this is about you learning x, y, z, i'll be here, you'll be fine. go outside. my boys love playing outside. i just put buckets out there and it was raining. they played in the mud. pretended they were fishing. afterwards, i pointed out, wasn't that fun to just do something that, you know, we didn't plan.

>> right. >> and that kind of conversation really helps them to understand the importance. >> and why you're letting them sort of play -- >> it's not that i don't want to play. it's that i'm excited for you. >> i remember building snow forts for hours. >> and when you were growing up and there aren't phones. >> we don't have that time anymore. all kids are on their screens more than ever. if you can give them time, that's a gift. >> thank you so much, lynn smith, for saying that out (vo) struggling with moderate to severe crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis? talk to your doctor about #1 prescribed entyvio, offering two maintenance options, including the entyvio pen. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. pml, a rare, potentially fatal brain infection cannot be ruled out. tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms, sores, or are prone to infections. liver problems can occur. entyvio. relief. remission. for real.
