we'll start this hour with the battle to contain several wildfires burning on both u.s. coasts. >> in california, near los angeles, the so-called mountain fire has charred more than 20,000 acres and more than 170 structures have been destroyed. high winds died down a bit allowing several evacuation orders to be lifted. >> more than a dozen wildfires in new jersey, new york and pennsylvania. an 18-year-old died battling those flames this weekend. bill karins is tracking conditions from coast to coast. we'll begin with dana griffin who has the latest on the fire burning in california. >> reporter: progress over the weekend, firefighters containing this fire to 36%, but the number of destroyed homes, has gone up to 174 destroyed homes, dozens more have been damaged. . he fire is considered a dirty

burn, you got embers that fly for miles and that's why in neighborhoods like this, the neighbors homes still standing but several behind me have burned to the ground. embers carried for at least 2.5 miles, another potential santaan wind event expected wednesday. those big raging active flames are no longer present but that doesn't mean that we're out of the woods yet, so officials are reminding people now's the time to gather those important documents, medications and have your go bag ready if they have to issue more evacuation orders they want to make sure people can evacuate immediately. several people have returned home, many trying to sift through the rubble to try and find family haireirlooms. 30,000 people live in this burn

zone, zero fatalitfatalities. >> dana griffin, thank you. bill, as dana just mentioned there could be more of those warm and gusty winds in the state of california later this week, what are you watching for. >> reporter: what areas don't get the rain and where the winds do kick up, in some areas, fire danger is going down with three storm systems expected. first one brought rain to san francisco area, sacramento, heading up toward tahoe, this is good, the beginning of our wet season, another big storm right behind this mostly in the pacific northwest throughout tuesday afternoon, tuesday evening, then we watch some of it kicking into california, but it looks like southern california is going to miss out on the rain pretty much with all of these events, los angeles southward, that's where the fire danger is going to remain high,

the winds kick up tuesday night into wednesday. nothing like with the mountain fire. as far as the heavy rainfall goes, 4 inches with this next event tuesday into wednesday. we'll see high elevation snow, pretty high, all the way through the cascades and the sierras. the east, the bad air quality this weekend the rain event not enough, the first rain in six to seven weeks in many locations it was all about less than a half of an inch, expect more problems with fires in the east in the week ahead. president-elect trump further solidified his election victory this weekend. >> nbc news decision desk projects he won arizona. the president-lebt will nominate republican congresswoman elise stefanik as u.s. ambassador to

who's very much going to push his agenda on mass deportations, he's been the architect behind the scenes of how trump is going to execute this, this says a lot about his day one priorities. >> you mentioned suzie wiles, talked about her specifically, her daughter worke trump administration last cycle, was a part of the group of peoplwith difficulty getting security clearance necessary to work at the white house, in terms of vetting this time around do we know how that process is taking place, do they know differently the requirements this time where we might not see a repeat of what happened last time. ? >> look, president-lebt trump is not a newbie in washington this time around, he knows how things work and he has the people that he wants around him who can circumvent the traditions of d.c., so some of those stalwarts

civil servants, he's not looking for that time this around, he's looking for loyalists. they'll find a way to do that. his early priorities who he's selecting to be around that, this time it's about loyalty not necessarily the right experience or credentials for the job. >> thank you as always. we appreciate it let's turn now to breaking news we're following out of delphi, indiana, a jury has found richard allen guilty of murdering two teenage girls. >> of 13-year-old abigail williams and 14-year-old libby german. let's bring in adrienne broaddus, just walk us through what the jury, what we know

about what happened inside that room as the jury spent so much time deliberating this. >> reporter: you're talking about 19.5 hours this jury deliberated. our team inside of the courtroom tells us that richard allen showed no emotion as those guilty charges were read. when that jury delivered the verdict. at one point he looked back at his family and mouthed, are you okay? on saturday the jury spent five hours reviewing evidence and witness testimony. keep in mind there were 17 days of testimony, 64 witnesses and dozens of audio clips and video played for the jury, including allen in his own words telling his wife in part, quote, i did it. i killed abby and libby. the defense challenged the reliability and the timing of those confessions arguing allen was held in solitary confinement for 13 months which impacted his mental health they say.

the defense also argued there was no dna evidence connecting allen to that scene, but just moments ago, in the last hour, this jury siding with the prosecution finding richard allen guilty on all four murder charges. he'll be sentenced next month and could face up to 130 years in prison. but after seven years tonight, a bit of closure and justice for the families of these two young girls and that town. >> thanks so much. time now for today's money minute. venom sinks its teeth into the box office. >> kate rogers joins us now. venom won the box office for the third straight weekend.

at this hour more than a dozen congressional races remain uncalled that means control of the house of representatives is still up for grabs. republicans only need five seats to clinch the majority, democrats need 13. at the same time an intense three-way race for gop leader is heating up in the senate over the weekend president-elect trump weighed in saying anyone running must support his bid to make recess appointments to bypass senate confirmation votes. joining us is ryan nobles. let's start in the senate, here, how is the president-elect ultimately impacting the state of the race for senate majority leader? >> reporter: there's no doubt that donald trump could pick the next senate majority leader, he has that amount of sway not only within the republican party but the conference itself, at this point he's been reluctant to do so but that's not stopped some of the candidates to accomplish themselves as a maga candidate. senator rick scott of florida of

the three contenders probably has the toughest task to becoming the next senate majority but scott has enlisted the help of conservative influencers. unfortunately for scott though, none of those have a vote in this secret ballot. number of his fellow senators come forward and endorse him at this point he remains probably the third out of three possible candidates with john thune and john cornyn leading the way. >> ryan, another thing we're waiting for that battle for rol. can you walk us through what races this ultimately will come down to. >> reporter: right now it's the republican's majority to lease. they're in position to hold on to that very slim majority. a number of races in california taking the golden tate a long time to cast and count their ballots. 17 seats that have yet to be

called by nbc news and in order for democrats to win back majority they'd have to take 13 of those 17 seats in order to be victorious. as it stands right now, many of these races seem to be breaking along the same line, we don't see that many flips necessarily happening as these races are ultimately counted and voted on, no matter what, though, this is going to be a very narrow majority for republicans or democrats and as we saw the last congress they can make legislating very difficult. >> ryan, thank you. catherine the princess of wales is back in the public eye, she made her official return to royal duties over the weekend following her chemotherapy treatments earlier this year. kelly cobiella has more.

headlines on "nbc news daily." attorneys general is urging anyone who received racist test messages after the election to report them to authorities. they told individuals they were quote selected to pick cotton at plantations. the louisiana attorney general told nbc news this. >> we believe from what we've found so far that they're being routed through a virtual private network server in poland. but that doesn't actually tell us where the person is. >> several branches of the fbi are also investigating the messages. so far they've not said whether the texts originated domestically or overseas. officials are urging anyone who received the messages to avoid clicking any links and to contact local law enforcement or the fbi as soon as possible. take a look at this video from brooklyn over the weekend, a man is seen attempting to scoop a 6-year-old who was walking with the family. the child's father manages to

separate someone from going to jail from their family. we know that's different. he was the i.c.e. director, acting i.c.e. director during that program. he also was acting, never been senate confirmed. he won't be under this new position. >> last week, trump told nbc's kristen welker, no price tag for the mass deportation plan, how will it work. >> reporter: well, we understand that they'll prioritize certain people, criminals or threats to public safety, some of those priorities may seem strange, they're looking at chinese males of military age who have come through the border illegally. we also understand that they're going to end certain protections that the biden administration

gave migrants. they applied legally from their home country to come to the united states and work legally here for two years. he could end that program. even people who came in and waited in line and signed up and fully vetted could lose the eligibility to be here and people who signed up for asylum appointment that haven't been put on that path to asylum. a giant glacier poses for rising sea levels. >> it's about the size of florida. it holds enough ice to raise sea levels. this glacier has ominously been called the doomsday dmra her. why did it get that name?

what it collapse could mean? >> we're talking about ten feet of global sea rise which scientists think could happen pretty quickly. if you think about this in contest of a hurricane, enough to do incredible damage, 10 feet of permanent water, miami, honolulu, basically major coastal cities you can think about would be under water. but it's melting, 5% of the global sea rise that we're experiencing today. >> some of those images are almost surreal, chase, some scientists are hoping to geo-engineered a solution. >> reporter: they're calling this an underwater current. this glacier is melting because there's warm water getting

underneath it accelerating the melting of the glacier. it's trying to keep some of the warm water out from underneath to slow the melting a little bit. if you have a glass of ice water in a regular glass, ice cubes will probably melt pretty quickly. if you put it into an insulated can it will slow down. >> any alternative climate change solutions? >> we got to bring down the global warming, the emissions, burning fossil fuels heating up the atmosphere and the ocean, if they are able to slow the m melting of this one glacier, there are consequences far beyond this one glacier. >> chase, thanks so much. in today's daily health,

something you might have seen on your social media feed recently, women talking about testosterone therapy. >> i'm six weeks into taking testosterone for menopause. >> more women are asking their doctors about testosterone therapy. does it work. joining us now is dr. akshay syal. good to see you. why are women asking their doctors for testosterone. is it effective? >> great question, that video summarizes it. countless videos like that, really with women who have been dismissed by their doctors and looking to solutions for low energy, low sex drive, low body mass, they're starting to

self-medicate a little bit to get prescriptions for te testosterone. >> everything you've described sounds good on paper but with anything there can always be ri risks. >> right, it's really dose dependent. the takeaway, if you're on testosterone therapy prescribed by a doctor it can be safe, in most cases it is safe. some side effects when those levels can get a little bit high, excess growth, you can spend more time plucking those, excessbody odor, finally acne, people can get a lot of acne on the face.

one doctor told me that voice changes, if you get a changed voice from testosterone it may want be reversible. >> for women wondering about their hormone level, what test do you recommend they ask for? >> towards women in their 40s and 50s, out there suffering and dismissed from their doctors, they're experiencing that low sex drive, low muscle mass, not feeling like themselves, they can get a full panel of hormone tests. one thing i should add, we don't just treat numbers, we look at the whole patients and symptoms before deciding to give something. >> thanks so much. 2024 was predicted to be a historic election and boy did it live up to those expectation

. . for u.s. veterans jumping into the bourbon business. >> sam brock. >> in kentucky, the gateway to the state's famed bourbon trail. you will find four men who know a little something about what it means to serve. they met through their careers and bonded over their love of country and bourbon.

mike trout with the air force and cia. >> my father was in the army, was in the korean war and my grandfather was in the first world war. it was kind of a natural progression of thought that one day i would serve in the military. >> rick franco. spent his childhood abroad. before joining the military. >> it was the formation of me wanting to serve my country. >> rj casey's dad was a fighter pilot, inspiring him to enlist. >> he got me started in the special forces. >> reporter: and harold underdow, a tier one navy s.e.a.l. for years. >> it really does open your eyes. when you deploy in other countries, you learn so much, right? >> four men who chose to blend their military backgrounds into something to help other service members. a bourbon called four branches that admittedly took their wife and friends by surprise. you are going to start a bourbon company? >> oh, yeah. >> what did you tell them? >> i got this great idea, honey. this is what i want to do.
