hello, and thank you so much for joining us it is 10:00 eastern. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york in just a few hours, the 84-year-old white man charged with shooting a black teenager after he rang the wrong doorbell will face a judge for the first time andrew lester out on bail now after his arrest in the shooting of 16-year-old ralph yarl, this as the kansas city community rallies around that teenager with hundreds of his classmates here showing their support outside his high school. >> we're here for him not just a

band, and not just smaller gloves the entire school is here for him, we all miss him, is he means the world to us. >> this hour i'll speak with the mayor of kansas city, missouri, about the growing calls to charge that suspect with a hate crime. plus, a historic and shocking settlement. fox news agreeing to a massive payout to dominion voting systems, averting a high stakes defamation trial at the 11th hour, the andominion ceo saying fox has admitted to telling lies. s 21-year-old accused of that massive intel leak will appear before a federal judge in boston he was supposed to have a detention hearing. that has been postponed. he'll still be in court. this afternoon senators will get a classified briefing about the leak what more could we learn about all those secrets? let's begin in kansas city where andrew lester's arraignment is

set for this afternoon joining us from kansas city, nbc's maggie vespa and charles coleman, civil rights attorney and msnbc legal analyst. what can we expect to happen later today, and what is the reaction now in that community since there's been an arrest >> sure, ana, actually, we'll start with the arraignment, only because we got an update a few m minutes ago. we're expecting andrew lester, the 84-year-old white homeowner to be inside that courtroom physically later today at his arraignment. we were told yesterday this would be a virtual appearance. that has now changed we expect him to physically be in the courtroom that arraignment is set for 1:30 central today, 1:30 local time here in kansas city, 2:30 eastern. lester facing two felony counts including first degree assault, which prosecutors say could come with a potential life sentence in this case this will be the first time that he faces a judge, and it comes nearly a week after the shooting of 16-year-old ralph yarl who we know, again, is recovering at

home today the community, as you saw, i mean, the showing of his classmates being a key example 1,500 plus of them, they are just absolutely rocked by this, and they say make no mistake, they are standing behind ralph yarl as he begins this long road to recovery. kids wearing his favorite color, blue, telling us that they hope he sees this show of support they hope he knows just how many people know his story. just how many people are out there supporting him we also had a march here last night, hundreds of people marching right by where we're standing riteght now. people there telling us, including a number of people in kansas city's black community that they are really frightened by this. one woman telling us, she said, i'm a doordash driver. that could easily be me. i could easily ring the wrong doorbell and be confronted with hostility or violence in that way. people actually time dand again since this happened coming out

with those massive shows of support and also a lot of them buoyed by this process here and the criminal case will see a key benchmark in that today. >> charles, lester told investigators that he had gone to bed he heard a noise he saw a black male that he didn't know pulling on his door and he thought his home was being broken into. that's his story, different from yarl's explanation, who says he never pulled on the door he was waiting for someone to answer, so if lester were to try a stand your ground or a castle doctrine defense, another similar type of law in missouri, would he need to prove that his version of events are what actually happened? >> ana, that's exactly right he would have to establish that his story or the version of his story is more credible than the story that mr. yarl told investigators while he was on a hospital bed basically, in order for him, mr. lester to invoke a stand your ground or a king of the castle doctrine, he would have to be able to establish that this

person was essentially acting as an intruder and he feared for his life, and he was trying to protect his life or the life of others inside his home i don't necessarily know that the story that mr. lester has offered initially meets that standard or cuts the muster if you will i don't think that he can establish that he was in fear in such a way that mr. yarl has shown himself to be an intruder that he would be able to lawfully use lethal force against him. that's why i think that type of defense, although i do expect it, will ultimately fail. >> charles, investigators previously said there was a racial component to this case, but notably no hate crime charges included right now the family's lawyers are pushing for those charges, would you expect that to happen? >> well, i do think that we might see it at a federal level or potentially a state level it's possible that the local prosecutors in this case are reticent to actually charge hate crimes because of the fact that

he doesn't missouri doesn't necessarily have the statute when it comes to state law as a former prosecutor, you don't want to put statutes on an indictment or charges on an indictment and move forward with the prosecution if you don't feel very confident. in this case, it isn't a question as to whether there is the evidence if you will around lester more or less being racially motivated we know that that's there. the issue is can that be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in front of a jury which is why we may not have seen it on a prosecution thus far but potentially could by another law enforcement agency going forward. >> thank you so much, charles coleman for your conspiexpertis. the suspect expected in that courthouse later today we're joined by kansas city mayor quinton lucas. you have said that ralph yarl

was shot because he was existing while black. again, the man who allegedly pulled that trigger, andrew lester was arrested just yesterday, but he was initially taken into custody days ago and was released has law enforcement handled this case properly? >> i think we'll get into a further and deeper review as to the processes here, what i do know is that as soon as the case file was complete several days after the shooting, there was an indictment we have an arraignment today we all have some disappointment that the defendant who had shot this black teenager twice was allowed to surrender himself to authorities yesterday. there are a number of things that may seem a little bit different than normal pro processes, but i think it's too soon for us to be clear on what that is. i know the police department is willing to look at everything here that happened so we can prevent the circumstances that

took place from happening in the future one, the incident itself second, in some ways making sure there is clear communication to our public about the seriousness of this, and then fundamentally making sure that a defendant like this is not at large for any number of extended hours when i and many others do consider him to be a threat to this community. >> the prosecutor said there was a racial component to this shooting should the charges reflect that? >> right now i think there has been a request made to federal prosecutors to look at potential hate crimes charges. i agree with your last guest who noted that you don't want to over charge. that sometimes can complicate cases. here there's a felony assault charge that carries a sentence as long as life imprisonment there's also an armed criminal action these are substantial charges that are going to the defendant, and i think that the evidence is likely to show that at the very least the race of the victim, the race of ralph yarl has a direct connection to ultimately

being fired upon, seriously injured, and by the way, being shot twice that i believe will be a very relevant and material fact for any jury making a determination here it is preposterous to actually fire once through your locked screen door at someone who purportedly scares you, but twice after you've shot him in the head the first time? that seems to be something that is wholly unreasonable and one that i think not only justifies the charges that are already issued but perhaps subsequent hate crimes charges. >> the charges right now include first degree assault and armed criminal action. let me ask you this, i had a guest on my show yesterday who suggested if the suspect were black, he wouldn't have been taken into custody and then released and believed essentially his story initially before these further charges were then filed and he turned himself in yesterday do you agree with that >> i think that there are a few questions, one of which relates to the very voluntary nature,

with which the defendant has existed for the last five or six days he came to talk to the police actually voluntarily, right? was not compelled to come, was not compelled to speak in the first place back on thursday night the time of the incident itself voluntarily surrender at the time of his choosing although there was a warrant for his arrest issued. it seems as if he is in some way a unique defendant, and i think many of us would say he should not be again, not getting ahead of myself, i think that the police department is working hard to give sufficient facts for this case i know the prosecutor and i have spoken to him is going to work hard to make sure they prove up this case, but i think and get a lot of people out there who are saying this certainly seems different than people we may now who have found themselves in trouble in the criminal justice system, and at least in the early steps found themselves confronted with far more difficulty, far more challenges than perhaps mr. lester has seen so far. >> i know you spoke with ralph yarl's mother earlier this week,

and you wrote on twitter, i shared with her my personal commitment in ensuring we find justice for her son, her family, and all hurting now in our city. what is justice here >> justice will be two different and distinct things. one, a conviction in this case and the charges that are filed i think that is imperative that's why i will give space to the prosecutor, to the police to do the work that they must do. but second -- and this is why i mentioned all hurting in our city as your reporter noted, a lot of black people are saying wait a minute, right? i can't drive while black comfortably, now ringing the doorbell, knocking on a door, something that has been foundational since doors were invented is something that puts you at risk of your life i think what we need to do is look at how race played a part, how race particularly in our community may play some part in creating fears and try our best to address it. what the defendant describes is some scary person who's at his

door what you see in these pictures is anything but, and that it needs to be addressed because this was just wrong, and we need to make sure something like this never happens again. >> quickly, if you will, since you've been in contact with the family, can you give us an update on how yarl's doing >> he's recovering, which is miraculous he's verbal. he's talking about things he has concerns relating to getting back to skchool. i had the fortune of talking to his mother they are strong, strong people but i don't think any of us as parents could understand and if we haven't been through this, just the gravity of emotions they're going through. that's why this justice system takes on a very important step in the days ahead. >> mayor quinton lucas from kansas city, missouri, thank you so much for taking the time with us we appreciate it. thank you. now i want to take you about 25 miles outside austin, texas, a suspect has been charged with

opening fire on two high school cheerleaders after one apparently mistakenly got into the wrong car in a grocery store parking lot, and one of the girls is now critically injured. 25-year-old pedro rodriguez jr. was taken into custody and has been charged with deadly conduct. nbc's morgan chesky joins us now from dallas. morgan, what more are you learning >> reporter: yeah, ana, this is a crime that's absolutely stunned this tight-knit community just outside austin. we've learned two cheerleaders were wounded when this man opened fire in a case of mistaken identity. it's the latest case that appears to be a high profile shooting as a result of a mistake, and today for the first time one of those cheerleaders who was wounded is speaking out. in elgin, texas, an outpouring of support for a beloved cheerleader whose team says was injured in a shocking shooting monday night that may have been over a misunderstanding.

according to nbc's affiliate kprc, the shooting happened when a group of cheerleaders stopped at a grocery store and one of the group tried to get into the wrong car, stopping after seeing someone else in the car. after the girl tried to apologize, the man began firing. >> i just halfway my window was down, he just threw his hands up and he pulled out a gun and then he just started shooting at all of us. >> overnight, elgin police arrested and charged pedro rodriguez jr. who fired in a vehicle after an altercation in a grocery store parking lot. one victim had serious injuries and was held conticoptered to a school that was peyton washington, a young cheerleader well-known in the community. >> she's won every title there is to win in all star cheer cheerleading she's a role model throughout the country. everybody knows her. >> friends posting on social media calling for support and prayers for the high schooler. it's one of several shootings to

gain national attention recently in rural upstate new york. 20-year-old calen gilles was shot and killed saturday night when the suv she was in accidentally pulled into the wrong driveway investigators say kevin monahan walked out of his home and fired two shots at the vehicle he has pleaded not guilty to second degree murder and this morning gilles's boyfriend spoke exclusively to nbc news in a phone call saying that he just wants to share with the world how good of a person that she was in the meantime, regarding that texas shooting, we have reached out to the man accused of pulling the trigger but have yet to hear back ana. >> so much senseless gun violence, morgan chesky, thank you for your reporting when we're back in 60 seconds, fox news folds agreeing to pay dominion nearly $800 million why fox news may not be out of the legal fox hole just yet. plus, the new backlash

this trial was set to happen, and also with us msnbc legal analyst lisa rubin what are you learning about how we reached this settlement, how it got to this point >> reporter: ana, as we've been reporting, it is a rare circumstance when defamation cases actually make it to trial, and there have been rumors and reports that there were potential settlement talks happening in the days leading up to this moment this was some 11th hour drama, as we were reporting on your show this time yesterday, the jury selection process was happening. the jury was seated, and when we all returned after lunch to the courtroom filing for the start of the trial, opening statements set to begin at 1:30 p.m., there was a few minute delay those minutes turned into hours and hours long unexplained delay. the judge ultimately came in just before 4:00 p.m. announcing that the parties had resolved the case the jurors didn't need to return to this courthouse here in delaware the next day, and we're gaining some insight from our colleagues at cnbc who

exclusively interviewed a cofounder of staples street capital, which owns dominion that happened earlier this morning, and what he had expressed to cnbc is that they didn't want to settle this case until the, quote, reams of information from the discovery process, think those emails, texts, internal communications from fox hosts and executives came to light. he also said that they had been -- settlement talks had been happening for a longer period of time, but it wasn't until yesterday that fox floate that massive figure, $787 million, dominion's ceo talking about what the past few years have been like for them on another net work this morning, take a listen. >> all of our partners that have chosen to work with us in the past have all been affected. our customers have been harassed and targeted for no other reason other than their relationship with us, and it's just been devastating. it was about telling the truth, and the media telling the truth, and i think that what was important for us is for people

to be held count for when they recklessly and knowingly tell lies that have such devastating consequences >> reporter: so fox did acknowledge that there were some false claims made on its air, but what we haven't seen from the network is any kind of apology or admission that it defamed dominion as what was being pushed in the suit from dominion had this gone to trial, dominion would have had to prove malice in this case. >> i have the actual statement from fox news. i quote here, we acknowledge the court's rulings finding certain claims about dominion to be false. this settlement reflects fox's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards we are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with dominion amicably allows the country to move forward from these issues that doesn't sound like an apology. did fox take responsibility? >> certainly in its statements

fox is not taking responsibility you'll note that they acknowledge that the judge found certain claims to be false they're not even acknowledging the falsity of the statements made on its air. on the other hand, is this accountability i would say there is some real accountability here, not only because of the didn't settle une reams of information that they had accumulated through the discovery process were made public, and those things stay in the public domain. the emails, the texts, tucker carlson calling trump a demonic force. all of those things, they remain with us to continue to pore through, and through which we can hold fox accountable even if fox is not willing to acknowledge its own responsibility here. >> a lot of fox's dirty laundry already came out through the proceedings in this case why do you think it took this long to reach a settlement >> i think part of it is as

dominion said already, they wanted folks to see that information come out publicly, and that wasn't going to come out either miluntil the summary judgment process which is the briefing in february and march or even further until trial. the other reason that i think the settlement took so long, it wasn't why it took so long, but what pushed it over the edge is the special master order that judge erik davis issued yesterday. he essentially said dominion didn't get all of the things they were entitled to during the discovery process, and he appointed a special master who would have the power to take depositions of any person that he chose and any place that he chose within five business days. that means he could ask rupert murdoch what did you talk about with your lawyers about which devices you turned over or which entities you were the ceo of those were things that were contested during the trial i think that special master order definitely pushed the settlement over the edge i know our colleague katie phang agrees. >> it's not over for fox yet we will be watching developments regarding that $2.7 billion

defamation case tagainst fox nes as well. thank you both very much. anytime now, the supreme court could rule on the abortion medication at the center of a legal firestorm. tonight at midnight, the administrative stay freezing the texas judge's decision that would restrict access to mifepristone is set to expire, and we'll be watching to see if the court will allow those changes to go into effect or keep those restrictions on hold. this case marks the second time in less than a year justices have reviewed access to abortion services the jooutcome of this case could change how the fda approves other drugs in the u.s. besides mifepristone up next, shocking video of a garage collapse in new york city the other video that could be key to figuring out exactly what happened but first, a detention hearing for the suspected intel leaker has just been delayed, but

senators will still get a classified briefing this afternoon. what this case is now revealing about the classified document system as a whole. is it broken

in the next hour in boston, the 21-year-old air guardsman who was accused of that massive intel leak is set to be back in federal court. jack teixeira was going to have a detention hearing today. that has now been delayed for a few weeks, but he will still face the judge in about an hour or so, and then this afternoon the senate and house will go through briefings about this leak his arrest has raised serious questions about whether too many people have access to classified documents. joining us now nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian, who has been all over this story from the very beginning, and frank figliuzzi, former assistant director for counterintelligence at the fbi ken, set our expectations for what's going to happen in court today and then later at these briefings.

>> well, ana, in terms of court, it looks like this will be a brief appearance where jack teixeira will affirm to the judge that he is essentially willing to stay in jail for another two weeks. this was his motion, after all, requesting to delay this detention hearing. it suggests that he's cooperating with the government, that he's talking. it suggests that, we haven't confirmed that, but -- so he'll be in custody awaiting another detention hearing in two weeks, and then in terms of the briefing today, look, senators have, you know, a laundry list of questions both about specifically how this leak happened at this particular air base, and it seems very clear that normal dod procedures for handling classified information were not followed strictly here. is highly sensitive intelligence being shared too widely inside the government and, you know, what are the implications of shutting that down because after 9/11, there was a push to share intelligence there's always a balance here, but clearly there's a lot of lawmakers who are concerned that

things are out of whack right now. a lot of people are seeing very sensitive secrets they're not entitled to see, ana. >> frank, you spent 25 years as an fbi agent you say corporate america is better at protecting secrets than the pentagon. nbc reports new government estimates show 1.3 million government employees have these top secret security clearances 1.3 million. does that surprise you >>. >> no, it doesn't surprise me, nor does it surprise me that we're just classifying too much information for those 1.3 million people, and that needs to change. so look, when i say corporate america does this better than the pentagon, i'm sensitive to the fact that the pentagon has volumes more information to classify and protect than companies do, but the best practices in the best companies in america should be implemented by dod what do i mean by that they've got to lockdown what's vuln valuable to them even more than

they have. they can be encrypting top secret information so even when a systems administrator is looking for or trying to read his screen, all he'll see is encrypted gobbledygook i'm told particularly with jwics, that is not the case in terms of encrypting top secret they need to alert security when someone's trying to access information they're simply not allowed to see that clearly wasn't in place here, clearly not in place when teixeira tried to print and walk out with documents lingering on a screen as he hand wrote what he was seeing on the screen. nothing set off the alarm bells. lastly, they've got to get better at finding their data in the wild when it's finally out there, they've got to work with social media platforms just like the fbi does now with violent crimes, right? when you're using key words and indicators about planning for violence, the bells go off at social media platforms classified markings, et cetera,

should be going off as well at the platforms. >> frank, nbc news has been digging into how the government has responded to previous leaks. by chelsea manning, edward snowden, the government did expand the screening for security clearances, the use of flash drives and other means of moving data were also banned and after years of discussions apparently, agencies have rolled out what they have called continuous monitoring or continuous vetting to periodically check financial and criminal records in search of behavior that could make somebody a security risk yet, here we are now talking about another leak why do you think this isn't working? why aren't these measures enough >> yeah, we're a decade after manning and snowden, as you said, and you'd think this would be much better right now, but it's not part of it is, look, everybody's asking the question, why is a 21-year-old have access to all of this data i'm here to tell you it's the norm across the military that the people with the best skill

sets and the perishable cyber skill sets are the 20 somethings the answer is not to throw them out or not recruit them, but rather to get better at monitoring them and vetting them this is the digital generation they grew up on these online gaming platforms, and trust people they've never met online. they've got to better at interviewing, the rest of the intel community provides regular polygraphs to people they've got to do that too that serves as a bumper, a guardrail when you know you're about to get polygraphed randomly, you probably aren't going to press send on that classified data. >> i appreciate the discussion about solutions. that's the goal moving forward frank figliuzzi and ken dilanian, thank you both. now, this morning the investigation into a deadly parking garage collapse in new york's lower manhattan is just getting started. take a look at this stunning video. after the second floor collapses into the first, it pancakes into the basement

officials say one person was killed and five people were injured and a source familiar with the investigation is telling us this ring video footage is specifically being investigated the new york city department of buildings says the garage had four open violations before the incident, but police official say the collapse appears to be an accident. they don't suspect any criminality. up next, on ana cabrera reports, donald trump's long-time former cfo is a free man released just this morning from jail. what's next in the former president's legal fights. and right now, the house of mickey mouse is battening down the hatches in his fight against disney is that fight helping or hurting ron desantis politically help make trading feel effortless. and its customizable scans with social sentiment help you find and unlock opportunities in the market

he was just released from jail on rikers this morning after serving a little more than three months for his role in the company's years' long tax fraud scheme weisselberg's release comes as the man who prosecuted him, manhattan district attorney alvin bragg faces a new twist in his legal fight with congressional republicans who have come after his office since he indicted former president trump. for more, i want to bring in paul butler, former federal prosecutor, professor at georgetown law school and an msnbc legal analyst. great to see you, paul first a reaction to weisselberg already being released, and now that he's done his time, i wonder do you think he'll be more cooperative with investigators than he's been in the past >> that's a great question, ana. rikers island is a retched place. the city is supposed to be shutting it down, even five months there is hard time. weisselberg doesn't want to go back, so he may be open toe a deal if d.a. bragg feels like he needs weisselberg's testimony in

his prosecution of druonald tru. >> are you surprised he's already a free man he didn't do much time. >> you know, it's interesting. he actually got a good deal in his first trial, and what's really interesting now is that defense attorney also macy have been interested in a deal so weisselberg doesn't have to go back to rikers, but ana, the trump organization reportedly is paying weisselberg's legal expenses and weisselberg just switched to a new defense attorney who is a trump loyalist >> okay, we'll see what happens. let me pivot slightly because there could be some fireworks today between manhattan d.a. alvin bragg and republican congressman jim jordan jordan's been trying to force a former prosecutor from the d.a.'s office to testify, and there's a hearing today that could decide whether that will happen of course, bragg's office has been trying to block his testimony. is there any precedent that can give us a hint as to how this

might play out >> not really. it is unprecedented. this lawsuit is an aggressive move by bragg to protect his prosecution. bragg is basically telling jordan to stay in his lane, that congress has no jurisdiction over a state criminal prosecution. courts are reluctant to get involved in congressional subpoenas because of concerns about separation of powers, but to your question about precedent, ana, there is a case related to the trump organization where the supreme court said congress does have broad power to investigate, but it's not unlimited so the judge will have to decide whether this subpoena to mark pomerantz crosses the line. >> paul butler, great to have you with us, thank you so much i appreciate your expertise and your insights. ch meanwhile, the former president is notching a handful of criminal political victories against the man considered by some at least to be his biggest

competition for the 2024 republican presidential nomination florida governor ron desantis. donald trump just got a wave of congressional endorsements including a handful from desantis's own states for a total of 61 gop endorsements across the house, the senate, and governors's mansions this is according to our hill team for comparison, desantis has three endorsements now, all of this as desantis's ongoing war on disney draws more backlash, even from republicans. nbc's gabe gutierrez is following this and all the drama from tallahassee for us. gabe, walk us through some of this new criticism desantis is facing when it comes to disney >> reporter: hi, ana, good morning. the legislature here in tallahassee has begun swooping in to try and help governor desantis to wrestle back some power from disney. this is all giving some republican presidential hopefuls a political opening in the race for the white house.

this morning florida governor ron desantis' war on disney is drawing backlash from his own party including former new jersey governor chris christie, another potential 2024 contender. >> i don't think ron desantis is a conservative based on his actions towards disney i think it makes -- rightfully makes a lot of people question his judgment and maturity. >> former president trump on social media calling the feud a political stunt saying desantis is being absolutely destroyed by disney. >> we made the decision as a state, as a people, through the medium of our elections that we would not have one corporation serving as its own government. >> a new amendment filed here in the state legislature is trying to nullify disney's actions from february in which the entertainment giant quietly stripped power from a board desantis appointed to make decisions about its land it started last year when disney

opposed a parental rights in education act. it banned the classroom instruction of sexual orientationor gender identity in kindergarten through third grade. now, disney is promoting its first ever pride night at disney land, shortly after desantis doubled down on his attacks. meanwhile, desantis in d.c. trying to shore up republican support on capitol hill even as florida republicans endorse trump. battle lines being drawn with members of congress starting to take sides can governor desantis take on former president trump >> he absolutely can he's the only one who can. >> somebody that can carry us moving forward, i think that man is ron desantis. >> reporter: texas congressman lance gooden did announce his 2020 endorsement not of the former governor, instead of

former president trump meanwhile governor desantis continues his cross country blip with a visit to another early primary state, south carolina. right now near orlando, the board that oversees disney is meeting. >> gabe gutierrez, there is a lot to keep up with. thank you for doing it for us. we're going to stick in florida because long lines and wait times just to get gas in that state are still a problem after that one in 1,000 year storm. plus, there are more than 5,500 incidents of severe turbulence every year, and it is not your imagination it seems to be getting worse the reason why. and the truth is out there about ufos a pentagon official is testifying before the senate this morning, and his theory about ufos may surprise you.

six gas stations, and neither of them have. >> you couldn't fill one regular? >> just premium. that's it. i was empty. >> over half a million gallons of fuel has now been deployed to southern florida with the first trucks arriving today. if air travel makes you nervous, you might not enjoy our next report. atmospheric researchers say air turbulence has gotten more severe in the past few decades, and it will only get worse in the years to come. the reason climate change nbc's tom costello has more now on what air travelers have to look forward to in the future. tom, fill us in. >> reporter: yeah, good day. it is not your imagination we've been talking to researchers for some time. they say, yes, in fact, turbulence has gotten worse, and they are blaming the carbon dioxide emissions that are warming the planet here's the thing, they are predicting that it will grow worse over the coming decades, especially if you're traveling from coast to coast, west to

east, or if you're going to europe it happens every single day, 5,500 times each year. severe turbulence can send service carts, food, drinks, and passengers flying. >> if we have any trained medical personnel -- >> reporter: sometimes causing serious injuries, lacerations, broken bones, and concussions. >> i saw like a few -- like a handful of people with lacerations on their head and blood dripping down. >> reporter: seven were injured in march when a lufthansa flight from texas to germany hit severe turbulence over tennessee. on board actor matthew mcconaughey who talked about it on kelly ripa's podcast. >> it was a hell of a scare, complete loss of control. >> reporter: u.s. and britain say so-called clear air turbulence has only gotten more severe over the decades. >> it is increasing and it is because of climate change. so we know that the amount of wind shear in the jet stream is

now 15% stronger than it was when satellites first began observing it in the 1970s. >> reporter: and researcher paul williams predicts turbulence will get two to three times worse in the years to come affected flights at high altitudes in the northern hemisphere >> there has been no noticeable increase in the jet stream winds across the northern hemisphere what we are seeing is that the differentiating in height, that's where we're seeing the winds changing different directions and that's when you get the clear turbulence and bumpy flights. >> reporter: clear air turbulence is invisible to radar. most pilots rely on fellow pilots to know where it is. >> imagine the air flow over this wing experiencing a sudden updraft. this wing will be pushed up, violently and instantaneously and the airplane will tilt to the left. >> reporter: flight attendants who are up and about suffer 78% of the injuries. >> skies have gotten more turbulent and during the course of my 26-year career, turbulence

has always the biggest threat on the job. >> i will say seat belts, seat belts. >> reporter: if you have a new baby if somebody in the family does, you need to strap infants and toddlers into a car seat with their own seat, there in the plane. you can't hold on to them because in severe turbulence, you will lose them they got to be strapped into a car seat, buckled in, seated right there, next to you, in the plane's seat that costs more money, but it is critical that they are well protected. back to you. >> okay, thank you, tom costello my stomach is rumbling thinking about going up and down and up and down, all that turbulence, especially when you fly into denver, my hometown, you have the altitude and the rocky mountains and i think that has something to do with it as well. up next, 5.2 billion discs later, the end of an era at netflix. the changes at the streaming giant and when you can expect that password crackdown.

and up next, the senate hearing today that is out of this world

are we truly alone in the universe that is the question a senate subcommittee hopes to answer in a hearing happening this morning on ufos. this is the only second such hearing congress has held on this subject in more than 50 years. congressional interest in ufos has spiked in recent years after navy fighter jets captured mysterious video of strange aerial objects in 2017 and after the pentagon official in charge of this investigation said that these so-called unidentified anomalous phenomenon, he hypothesized they could be extraterrestrial probes. we'll monitor this hearing and hopefully learn if the truth really is out there. back down to earth now, if
