11:00 a.m. eastern, 8:00 a.m. pacific. i'm josé diaz-balart. this morning, dangerous weather. more than a third of the country is under excessive heat alerts after a massive weekend of oppressive record breaking temperatures. meantime, the northeast is reeling from another round of catastrophic flooding. in pennsylvania, at least five people were killed, two children are still missing. overseas, russia blaming ukraine for a deadly attack on a vital bridge linking the crimean peninsula to the russian mainland. back in the u.s., a major moment for the labor movement with the hollywood strike well underway, another union representing more than 340,000 employees is threatening a walkout. and here in miami, messi madness, soccer superstar lionel messi receives a heroes' welcome as he's officially introduced as a player for inter miami.

>> and we begin with the extreme weather that is affecting our entire country with flash flooding in the northeast killing at least five people in pennsylvania including a mother while two children remain missing. in one area of long island, five inches of rain fell in less than two hours. meanwhile, more than 70 million people from florida to the west coast are under heat alerts with records possible in seven states today. on sunday death valley, california, set a new daily high temperature. 128 degrees, while in el paso, they've seen 32 consecutive days of triple digit temperatures. nbc's kathy park joins us from washington crossing pennsylvania, nbc's marissa parra is in phoenix, which has seen 17 straight days of temperatures above 110 plus

degrees. so kathy, what's the latest there? >> reporter: jose, good morning to you. the conditions have improved dramatically. it is sunny, it is dry. so crews out here are taking advantage of this improved weather to continue their ongoing search efforts for those missing kids. we just heard from authorities a few moments ago, and they say that they are tripling their resources. they are leaning on canine units, underwater assets as well as drones. take a look at the damage we are looking at. we are in bucs county, this is probably one of the hardest hit communities. this is bridge, part of it washed away. you have debris scattered everywhere. one official here in the town said that he has not seen anything like this in 44 years, and we also spoke with a gentleman who was on his motorcycle at the time when he was incredibly just swept away

but survived. here's what he told us. >> so you were clinging onto trees? >> oh, yeah. >> wow. >> i didn't want to die. >> what was going through your mind? >> saving my daughter. you know, the speed of the water just pulled us down, pulled us away from the road and onto the side of the road. the side where there isn't normally a creek filled so high we couldn't stand. it got to the point i couldn't get off the shoulder onto the road, it was like fighting against waves. >> reporter: and jose, this was certainly a fast-moving storm that dumped a whole lot of rain in just a short amount of time. in fact, there were some motorists who were already on the roadway, and they just didn't have time to turn around, so they had to abandon their vehicles. and as you can see behind me, a lot of damaged debris to clean up. we spoke with a resident here kind of walking the creek beds.

we asked what he's doing, he said that many of them want to help find those missing kids. they are taking it upon themselves to go along the waterways to see if they can find anything at this point. >> and kathy, that road that you are just in front of, you know, the destruction there is because of the water. >> reporter: yeah, our understanding based on some of the witnesses, some of the neighbors who live in this community, the water got up to be several feet above the road that we are standing on right now. they say it's nothing they have ever seen before, a lot of these folks compare this event to hurricane ida. that's when the last natural disaster roared through. they said what we saw this past weekend was far worse. i mean, you can see this is just a snapshot of what we're seeing right now this morning, but yeah, the flood waters so intense. this is asphalt, jose, and concrete, and all of that. >> incredible.

incredible. i mean, marissa, meanwhile, the extreme heat there is affecting all kinds of things. >> reporter: yeah, i mean, we're talking about rescue crews. we're talking about hospitals. we've had a chance to get an inside look with both of them. you probably can't tell, but i'm inside of a firehouse here. we know that they have been so busy, but i want to start first with the impact we've seen at local hospitals. we had a chance to go inside of the emergency room at a local one, valley wise health here in phoenix. and what we saw, a lot of what we saw we couldn't show on camera for privacy reasons. those hallways were lined up with patients. they were on stretchers hooked up to ivs, days from heat exhaustion. what you're watching right now are physicians prepping an ice bath. that is quite literally an ice pool, and they're doing that in preparation for potentially more patients suffering from heat exhaustion or even worse, potentially heat stroke. i mean, when you have people coming in with body temperatures of 107 degrees, i mean, that is critical, and so the number one

thing they have to focus on is trying to get that body temperature down. and so they've also seen people with third degree burns. when i was shadowing these guys here at the phoenix fire department, they were telling me they found a man just days ago who had third degree burns on his body because he was on the asphalt. so we're talking about temperatures that get so high all around us, but especially on the ground here. you're seeing footage now of when we had a chance to look at how they're doing things differently. they were talking about how they have to put ivs in ice baths. they themselves, the firefighters have to sometimes take an ice bath after a particularly hot call. we've been on several of these heat calls with them. several people who were saying that they were overheated. we know there's vulnerable populations, many of them people without homes, and jose, you can only imagine how much more difficult doing something like fighting a fire gets in these conditions. these are strong guys and gals. they're used to this heat. this is an area used to intense summer sun. it is currently 17, but once we

hit 110 degrees today, it's currently 95, we will see 18 straight days of temperatures over 110 degrees. so even though they're used to these high temps. right now they're saying it just feels like a marathon, that strain really coming from the fact that it's day after day after day with no end in sight, right now this is expected to last through the weekend, jose. >> kathy park and marissa parra, thank you so much. in a moment, we're going to speak to the mayor of miami-dade county where the national weather service has issued the county's first ever excessive heat warning. plus, new warning signs for the governor of florida, ron desantis's presidential campaign. we're back in 60 seconds. you're watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. d. (bridget) with thyroid eye disease i hid from the camera. and i wanted to hide from the world. for years, i thought my t.e.d. was beyond help... but then i asked my doctor about tepezza.

(vo) tepezza is the only medicine that treats t.e.d. at the source not just the symptoms. in a clinical study more than 8 out of 10 patients taking tepezza had less eye bulging. tepezza is an infusion. patients taking tepezza may have infusion reactions. tell your doctor right away if you experience high blood pressure, fast heartbeat, shortness of breath or muscle pain. before getting tepezza, tell your doctor if you have diabetes, ibd, or are pregnant, or planning to become pregnant. tepezza may raise blood sugar even if you don't have diabetes and may worsen ibd such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. now, i'm ready to be seen again. visit mytepezza.com to find a ted eye specialist and to see bridget's before and after photos. today three top 2024 gop hopefuls are attending a summit outside the nation's capital hosted by the largest pro-israel

organization in the country. in the next hour, we're going to be hearing from florida governor ron desantis after a tough weekend of campaign news for him, roughly a dozen desantis staffers have been fired as part of a shake-up. joining us now from arlington, virginia, nbc news correspondent ali vitali, victoria defrancesco soto the dean of the clinton school of public service at the university of arkansas. she is also an msnbc contributor and former ohio governor and 2020 presidential contender john kasich, also an msnbc political analyst. so ali, what are you watching for today? >> reporter: yeah, jose, you know that these campaigns are waged in ballrooms like this one, and they're covered in whispered tones like the one i'm going to use with you throughout this report. foreign policy will take center stage in this republican primary. trump is not here, but certainly he continues to loom over this

and events like this as many of these contenders are trying to present themselves as an alternative, even as they talk about things during the trump administration that they may have been a part of or supported. when we're thinking about governor ron desantis, i think about the book he put out earlier this year wherein he talks about the fact where he was someone who really pushed president trump to move the embassy, the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. that of course something that trump has trumpeted himself over the course of the last few years. but for someone like former south carolina governor and u.n. ambassador nikki haley, this is also a moment for her to burnish her credentials on the world stage, and the same, frankly, goes for former vice president mike pence, all of them with something to say on this issue that remains important within the field because it is one of the few points where we've seen contenders willing to show a contrast. what's important for someone like desantis is the fact that he's coming off a really rough weekend. the fund-raising numbers might have been good upfront, but his

burn rate is something donors are concerned about. just the fact his campaign is spending so much cash, it shows that they're top heavy, and that's a concern, especially for someone who's been likened to former wisconsin governor scott walker, a candidate in the 2016 field who came in with a lot of fanfare, a lot of money and a big staff and was out within months. that's not a comparison that desantis's allies have liked, and certainly this is not something that helps them shed that. >> ali vitali, thank you so much. we're enjoying watching you very early in the morning throughout the day. i don't know when you rest, but i appreciate it, ali, thanks. >> victoria, what does the desantis staff shake-up say to you? >> i don't think it's a terribly bad warning sign. we do see campaigns traditionally have major shake-ups and desantis in his past campaign has had shake-ups like these, but picking up on what ali said, you know, upfront his numbers look okay, but the bigger issue for me is the small

dollar donations where trump still dominates there. and it's not so much about the cash. sure, you want that money to finance your campaign, but let's think ahead, jose, six months, seven months, when we start looking at primaries, the small dollar donations are your primary voters, and if we're not seeing a show of support of those potential primary voters, that's a big concern right alongside that sheer dollar amount that desantis has. so i think he has to figure out how to speak more directly to that republican base, which so far remains in love with donald trump. >> john, i mean, here's someone who is so aware of just how difficult it is to raise money and to continue raising money. how do you see this? >> i think the biggest problem that desantis has, jose, is that he's just not connecting.

you know, he's out in the field. remember, i said there's kind of three things that you need when you run for president. one is you need money. number two you need ideas, and number three, you need magic. we're not seeing the magic out of him at this point. that's what i think has caused alarm, and his pivot to the -- really to the hard right, i think, is just not getting him anywhere. the problem is if you want to -- if you want to go with him because he's, you know, sort of this anti-woke guy, why not go with the real thing, which happens to be trump. so i think he's in a competition that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but bottom line is he just doesn't seem to be connecting. can he start to connect? can he change things? we're going to have to wait and see. that's his biggest problem. >> and victoria, meanwhile, democratic senator joe manchin is set to appear today at a town hall hosted by the bipartisan group no labels. a lot of people are speculating of a potential third party presidential run.

what do you make of that? >> i'm going to wear my political science hat here. it's maddening, institutionally as a country we're set up to be a two-party system. how we elect our representatives through single member districts that really push us institutionally into two parties and then layer on top of that our culture is a country for hundreds of years you would argue we've always been a two-party system, even though the names of those parties have changed. so it's really near impossible, i'm not going to say impossible, and what it ends up doing, though, however, is it hurts one of the major parties. at the moment, it looks like it would most likely hurt president joe biden in his re-election campaign. but let's say for some reason we see a moderate republican win the gop nominee, then it could potentially hurt them. so it doesn't really have a clear path forward, but it just hurts the major party

candidates. >> yeah, and we've seen over history, i'm thinking ross perot, a lot of folks think that ross perot -- >> teddy roosevelt. >> teddy roosevelt and so many other potential runs. how do you see that, and is it something that democrats should be worried about or maybe republicans and democrats? >> look, what we should be worried about is that if it's biden and trump, the voters don't like either of them. they'd rather have somebody else. the idea that there is a political party is beginning to organize across the country getting ballot access, i think is a good thing. i don't think it's a negative thing at all. the challenge is people are more likely to give up their religion than their political party affiliation. the fact is when you have two candidates that no one likes, the system's kind of broken, isn't it? and the idea that we may have a third opportunity -- and i understand what people are worried about in terms of if we

have this party, then does it hurt biden or whatever. wait a minute, we don't even know where we're going to be but to prepare the field, to say if the american people are dissatisfied with what they're currently being presented, to give them a third option, to me that makes all the sense in the world. it's a good thing. i know the no labels people, i don't think they made any decision, and frankly, if it's biden and it's trump, then they're likely to move forward. if it's not that, they won't, and then at the end of it, they're going to take a look at what they do. if they think in the end they're helping donald trump, i don't think they're going to do that. i don't know. i'm not actually a part of them. i do talk to them. i'm aware of them. i have friends that are part of that movement. the idea that -- i mean, i think our system's currently broken. you take a look at the fund-raising now, it's all done by -- in this dark money by these special interest groups, just the very things our founders were worried about, and so i think the emergence of a

third party to shake this system, to restore some sense of the people getting something different i think is nothing but good. >> victoria defrancesco soto and former governor john kasich, i thank you both very much. now to a controversy facing congresswoman pramila jie jayapal, she's now apologized. her comments were met with backlash from fellow lawmakers including house diplomatic leadership who emphasized their commitment to the u.s. relationship with israel. jayapal clarified she does not believe israel is a racist nation, but accused netanyahu's government of carrying out racist policies. her remarks came days before herzog visits washington d.c. and addresses lawmakers. up next, how an attack on crimea could affect russia's war in ukraine. plus, we'll speak with miami-dade county's mayor about how residents can stay safe

degrees. miami's seen 36 straight days with a heat index in the triple digits. miami-dade county mayor danielle levine kava is with us this morning. it's great to see you. i thank you for being with us. just wondering how your county is dealing with the extreme heat? >> thanks so much, jose. we've been at the forefront of preparing for this and dealing with it for two years. we had the first in the world local gp officer, a heat season. we've got cooling centers that have been activated in these extremely hot days, and we make sure that people have been receiving the information, how to protect themselves, everything from staying out of the sun, wearing loose, lightweight long-sleeved clothing. definitely repellant, you know, definitely keeping the sun off your skin wherever possible, and we're also doing things like tree canopy. we have to have more trees to

reduce the heat, provide shade, and we are providing air-conditioning for all of our public housing residents who were not entitled by federal law to have air-conditioning. so everything that we can think of, heat is the silent killer. we want people to understand it's no joke. they need to take it seriously and protect themselves and their pets and their children. >> yeah, and let's talk about that because i mean, your county is so economically vibrant. you can't go anywhere in miami-dade without seeing tons of construction and people working outdoors and yards and in all kinds of economic activity, but outdoors, and i'm thinking of the folks that, you know, i have friends that work in the construction industry. how are we dealing with them? how can we help them? >> and construction, agriculture, the county itself has many outdoor workers, and we've provided access to electrolyte water, to shade and rest, so those are key factors.

there is legislation, we believe it's moving forward through the commission to protect workers outside of the county, and we want organizations that hire, businesses that hire to do their very best to provide heat, shade, rest, and water breaks. >> and mayor, you know, you talk about animals. i mean, we're talking about pets, also just -- south florida has such a vibrant, you know, wildlife community. is there something we could be doing to help them? >> absolutely. our pets are as affected as we, and we need to be sure that we keep them out of the hottest part of the day and have water on hand, even ice cubes for the water. cold chew toys, maybe freeze the chew toy for the dog and watch the pet for signs of heat effect. so they might not be able to tell you, but you need to watch

them for signs of heat exhaustion. damp towels. we can use them for ourselves and we can use them for our pets. >> yeah, and mayor, there are a lot of folks out there that are watching that maybe speak principally spanish. [ speaking in a non-english language ] miamidade.gov/heat. all the things we're doing and ways that you can protect yourselves. >> in english and spanish and creole, important, always a pleasure to see you. i thank you for being with us. >> thank you, jose. and now to the war in ukraine where we are following breaking news. overnight an attack damaged a key bridge that links the crimean peninsula with russia. footage from the scene shows heavy damage to a section of the bridge, which provides a key route for russia to deliver supplies to its forces on the peninsula and in southern ukraine. now, meanwhile, russia announced

it will not participate in a deal that allowed ukraine to export its grain, which is crucial for many countries. joining us now from london, nbc's matt bradley. matt, good to see you. with what more can you tell us about both the bridge attack and then this grain deal? >> reporter: yeah, jose, well, they're unrelated but i can break down both of them for you. this is still quite recent information, so there's a lot that's still coming in. but in addition to what you've just said about that incident, we're hearing from the russian side that damage was likely the result of underwater drones that slammed into the bridge overnight. you can see those investigators, they're working now. the bridge appears to be very damaged, but it's at least somewhat intact. and we've heard from the russian side that train service across that bridge has resumed already as of this morning. that's another indicator that this attack didn't really incapacitate the bridge quite as much as a previous attack that you might remember from back in october. that attack shut down the bridge for months.

you know, jose, in terms of implications, beyond russian and ukrainian borders, the suspension of that grain deal, that's the most momentous news today, and it could be felt around the entire world. this deal, it's a year old, and it was always set to expire today, but without it we could very well see a surge in grain prices. it will have a huge effect on food prices and availability, particularly in developing countries. now, russia -- and particularly the ukraine have long been called the bread baskets of the world, because for decades they've provided affordable wheat and grain to much of the world's poorest, and it was the united nations and turkey. they're the ones who negotiated this deal last year. so far it's allowed for 3.9 million metric tons of food to be exported out of the black sea, which is basically a war zone. now almost half of that went to developing countries. according to the international rescue committee, about 80% of east african grain comes from russia and ukraine, and food prices were already up 40% this year. so this could have a major

effect. now, this isn't the first time that russia has withdrawn from this deal. there's still a lot of hope that diplomats could get everyone back to the table, that they could renegotiate. that would be important for diplomacy around this war in general. the grain deal, it had represented really the most important and only really diplomatic agreement between russia and ukraine up until now, jose. so without it, these two countries, they really only have battlefields between them. jose. >> matt bradley, and grain is food, food that is desperately needed. appreciate it, matt, good to see you. now to an update on the harsh conditions that migrants face coming to the u.s. southern border. mexico says that in just two days they have caught more than 500 migrants who were being taken to the united states by smugglers. take a look at the dire conditions we're talking about. on friday, authorities say they found more than 300 people, including children, packed into

two separate tractor-trailers in veracruz. on saturday they found more than 200 migrants abandoned inside a tractor-trailer, also in veracruz. the "associated press" reports that a group of a thousand migrants is headed to the u.s. on foot. the group made up mostly of venezuelaens banned together on saturday. they told the ap to organize because many had been sleeping on the street and had run out of money to buy food. up next, the entertainment industry grinding to a halt across the world because of two hollywood strikes, and now another strike looms that could disrupt the nation's system for deliveries. you're watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. there are currently more than 750,000 unfilled cybersecurity jobs in the u.s. the google cybersecurity certificate was made to fill that gap and help grow the workforce that's keeping us all safe.

featuring fresh artisan bread piled high with tender roast beef, smothered with melty provolone cheese, just enough chipotle mayo and served with hot au jus for dipping. try the roast beef or pastrami french dips today. only at togo's. 35 past the hour, and this just in to msnbc. new york city is making history with the selection of a new police commissioner, mayor eric adams officially announced that he is appointing edward caban to be the top cop. he was sworn in moments ago. he is the first latino officer to lead the nypd in its 177-year history. caban has been on the force for more than three decades. turning now to the picket lines where right now tens of thousands of hollywood actors and writers are on a strike not

seen in decades. the sag-aftra has scheduled picketing and other events across the country, including new york, miami, los angeles. lindsey, good morning. what does the strike meaning for working actors? >> reporter: hey, jose. it means right now they can't participate in productions or premiers. i mean, there are so many ripple effects to this. san diego comic-con july 20th would be impacted if an agreement isn't made. so this is the second day of picketing. there were no negotiations, no break-throughs over the weekend, and there's no schedule of negotiations. so we don't know how long this is going to go for, but they tell me here they are ready to go as long as it takes. so let's go over the sticking points, jose. we're talking about these actors, these workers wanting a livable wage. they want to address residuals, which they say have dwindled in the advent of streaming, and they want to address their

concern with ai and their likeness being used in perpetuity without compensation. i want to bring in actress linda powell. linda is the lead on broadway in "a beautiful noise" congratulations. how, though, has how the industry has changed, how has that affected your ability to make a living? >> well, the way that we get paid and the way that we work has been turned completely upside down by the streaming model. the residuals we get paid, and the way we used to participate in the success of the show has gone completely away. for a couple contracts we made little tweaks but because everything has turned to streaming now we have to take a stand. >> and you are a lead on broadway, and yet six months ago you lost your health insurance. what happened? >> i lost my health insurance because sag-aftra health insurance, you need to make a certain amount every quarter to qualify, and i had been working on the show -- on the play, so my earnings hadn't been coming from sag-aftra. luckily my broadway union picked me up, but that's the kind of

thing that happens to actors, especially with the income stream drying up and not having that long tail we used to have in the glory days of network tv. we're not asking to go back to the past. we're just asking for new regulations. >> and talking about the future. i mean, some of the chants have been when i say ai, you say bye bye. what do you say to critics who say that that fear is kind of overblown? >> this contract isn't just going to be for the present. this contract is for the next three years. we have to put fences in place now. this technology is coming. i don't know if it's coming next month or i don't know if it's coming next year, but we have to make sure we're protected against the use of our images. i mean, they are able to scan me, take my digital double, my digital identity, and use it -- it would be great if they can use it to replace a scene that they want to change, but i need to consent because that's going to seem like it's me doing whatever that digital double is doing. >> so jose, you see here people are going to be out here outside rockefeller plaza until 1:00.

there are picket lines happening right now in los angeles and hawaii and atlanta, and they're scheduled for all this week. jose, we're just going to have to see if there's any breakthrough with negotiations. i also want to tell you the association of studios, which includes nbc universal, they essentially say that this is the union's choice, not ours. they also say rather than continuing to negotiate, sag-aftra has put us on a course that will deepen the financial hardship for thousands who depend on the industry for their livelihoods. jose. >> lindsey reiser in new york, thank you very much. as we cover hollywood's strike, united airlines struck a deal with a key group of employees, while another big company u.p.s. may be facing a walkout. cnbc's dominic chu is with us this morning. good to see you. let's talk first about the deal between united airlines and its pilots. >> yeah, jose, so the broad strokes here are for a four-year labor deal, jose, that would include up to 40% pay raises for

pilots. so this labor accord between united airlines management and its pilots union has a headline number of $10 billion in that span. it includes a slew of different benefits including those tied to overtime pay, holiday pay, scheduling, so the pay increases i mentioned, right, will range between 34.5% to over 40% over the four years, all depending on the types of aircraft that individual pilots fly. it also has an immediate near 14 to 19% pay increase, almost immediately upon ratification. this deal does make united the latest major airline to reach a wide ranging pilots compensation deal. they follow delta and american. we should also point out southwest has yet to reach a deal with its pilots union. >> and let's talk about u.p.s. is there a possibility of a strike there? >> it's not just a possibility. it's looming large. this is of course america's biggest transportation lodgist

iics company. it is facing an end of the month deadline to come to an agreement with the union representing 340,000 of its workers. it's u.p.s. and the teamsters union. those two sides have not reached an agreement. the talks have reportedly been stalled and at a standstill for quite some time, and negotiators on both sides have accused each other of walking away from the talks. meanwhile, the head of the teamsters union yesterday asked that the biden administration not -- again, not intervene if there is ultimately a strike, something that a lot of businesses and consumers are intently focused on because it could bring a notable chunk of the american economy to a halt because packages will be delayed all over the country. u.p.s. does say that one point of contention remains wage increases for part-time employees and it will start training non-union employees if a strike happens. >> dominic chu, thank you very much. up next, how the manhunt for a quadruple murder suspect in

after two years in paris, historic barcelona and winning the world cup with argentina, messi is taking on his challenge to turn miami into a championship winning team. joining us is quad vin ne gas and miguel, telemundo news and sports anchor, in sydney, australia, preparing for the world cup and host of the podcast "mother soccer." quad, what was the welcome like here? >> jose, messi's announcement, unveiling presentation yesterday, was south florida like. it was hot during the day, extreme heat, the fans arrive, it was a party outside and then we had a storm come through which felt like a mini hurricane, but this is miami, and it did not stop the fans from packing the house. it was a party inside the stadium, fire works, the fans cheering and, of course, the

moment messi walked on to that field and held the shirt that it was true, reality, although it had been officially announced, that was the first time we saw him on the field with david beckham, cheering messi as he takes the number 10, i have it right here, because this is now the hottest shirt in all of miami, jose, everyone getting it. there's the number 10 messi, so a real party here. it was sort of like a super bowl halftime show for everyone that came to pack the stadium, jose? >> yeah. and miguel, give us a little bit of a perspective of what messi means for soccer and what his move in miami means? >> the arrival of messi to mls gives the league credibility and worldwide exposure. it's the biggest moment in mls history, we can say that. it's bigger than david beckham joining the league in the past.

i think messi should take mls to another level and for me, the message from mls to the world is, we are here as a league, to compete and you know, not in an economy market, in a sports market, i think mls is growing. slowly but surely. >> miguel, i mean, i keep thinking of, you know, when major stars in the world of soccer have come into the united states and tried to make a difference. i'm thinking as far back from pele and you talk about takamma and others, is messi different or is the time different for the possibility of him having a major impact on the u.s. sports world? >> i think everything is different. it's a different challenge for messi. he's used to playing on winning teams and said barcelona, psg the national team, and inter

miami is way far from winning a franchise and that is a challenge for messi in the mls. converting in this franchise in a winning team, and i think when messi is around, anything can happen. it's quite a challenge for messi. >> and miguel, you're preparing for the women's world cup set to kick off on thursday. team usa usa is coming off a good streak. how is it doing? >> i think team usa is looking for something that's never been done in the men's game or women's game. they're looking for the third consecutive world title and i think that they have real chances to making that. they lost mallory swanson in an injury and becky salburn but they have meghan rapinoe and alex morgan, they've rose lavelle and a bunch of young talented players. i think that chances are real

for team usa to make history in the biggest event in the world for the first time 32 teams. it's going to be awesome here in australia and new zealand. >> of course, the women's world cup begins thursday. watch live coverage on tell mendo. -- telemundo. thanks for for being with us. >> thank you. and just a reminder as i said, the women's world cup will start this thursday. before we go tonight's drawing for the powerball jackpot now $900 million. no winner saturday night. and the prize is now the third biggest powerball jackpot and the seventh largest in u.s. history. tomorrow's mega millions drawing is $640 million. that wraps up the hour for me. i'm jose diaz-balart. thank you for the privilege of your time. reach me on twitter and
