♪ IT IS TOP OF 5:00 P.M. ON THE EAST COAST. IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES WE ARE SEEING A RESPONSE FROM FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LAWYERS TO A JUSTICE DEPARTMENT'S PUSH TO PREVENT THEIR CLIENT FROM TALKING ABOUT ANY EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE CENTERED AROUND THE CASE TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION. AS THAT HAPPENS GEORGIA IS PREPARING FOR POSSIBLE CHARGES IN ANOTHER CASE. >>> KIDS IN ARIZONA GOING BACK TO SCHOOL WITH THE TEMPERATURES SLAMMING MILLIONS. WE ARE LIVE IN ARIZONA AND PENNSYLVANIA WHERE FLOODS ARE CAUSING DEADLY CRASHES. WE WILL BRING YOU AN NBC NEWS INVESTIGATION WITH A WARNING HOW A COMMON ITEM USED BY NURSING MOTHERS CAN BE DEADLY, NEW REACTION TO THE RIVERBOAT BRAWL THAT IS PROBABLY ALL OVER YOUR FOR YOU PAGES, THE MAYOR JUST NOW SAYING IT NEVER SHOULD OF PLAYED OUT LIKE THAT. >>> AND COME ON BARBIE, LET'S GO PARTY. A HUGE TUB OF MONEYMAKING THE FIRST SOLO FEMALE DIRECTOR TO PASS $1 BILL IS IT A SHIFT IN HOLLYWOOD? WE ARE DIVING IN, LATER IN THE SHOW. >>> I'M ALLISON IN FOR HALLIE. >>> IN THE LAST FEW SECONDS WE ARE SEEING DONALD TRUMP LAWYERS PUSHING FOR SPECIAL COUNSEL TRYING TO STOP THE PRESIDENT FROM TALKING ABOUT SENSITIVE EVIDENCE THAT MIGHT COME OUT ON PARTS OF THE CASES THAT HE ILLEGALLY TRIED TO OVERTURN THE LOSS IN THE ELECTION. PROSECUTORS SAY WHEN TRUMP SAYS ABOUT EVIDENCE AND HAPPENED IN A GRAND JURY COULD HAVE A HARMFUL CHILLING EFFECT ON WITNESSES AND COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE CASE. REMEMBER, WHEN MR. TRUMP WENT INTO COURT FOR AN ARREST ON THURSDAY THE JUDGE WARNS HIM IT IS A CRIME TOO INFLUENCE A JUROR OR BRIBE OR RETALIATE AGAINST A WITNESS. NONE OF IT IS STOPPING TRUMP FROM HURLING TOWARDS THE SPECIAL COUNSEL, THE JUDGE THAT IS LEADING THE TRIAL OR HIS FORMER VICE PRESIDENT AND FIGURE IN THIS CASE, MIKE PENCE. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT CITING THIS POST IN THE ARGUMENT. YOU SEE IT ON THE SCREEN. IT SAYS QUOTE, IF YOU GO AFTER ME I AM COMING AFTER YOU.: AS WE WAIT FOR THAT WE ARE LOOKINGA THE WHAT COULD BE MR. TRUMP'S NEXT ARREST. >> ONE MORE INDICTMENT AND THIS ELECTION IS CLOSED OUT. NOBODY HAS EVEN A CHANCE. >> HE IS TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN GEORGIA WHERE AN ATLANTA AREA COURTHOUSE IS LOOKING AT CHARGES THAT HAS TO DO WITH MR. TRUMP'S ATTEMPTS TO OVERTURN LEGITIMATE ELECTION F. IT HAPPENS IT WILL LEAD TO THE FOURTH ARREST IN JUST FOUR MONTHS. LET'S START IN WASHINGTON. WE ARE ALL JUST NOW SORTING THROUGH THE NEW LEGAL FILING FROM AN EARLY GLANCE I SAW THE TRUMP TEAM USE THE TERM "MEASURED APPROACH" SAYING THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR. BREAK DOWN WHAT YOU ARE ABLE TO READ THROUGH THIS. I KNOW IT JUST CAME OUT. WHAT IS THE NEW FILING SAYING? >> Reporter: WHAT THE TRUMP TEAM HAS DONE HERE IS PROPOSED A NARROWER PROTECTIVE ORDER THAT ALLOWS MR. TRUMP TO DISCUSS SOME OF THE EVIDENCE THAT THE TRUMP ATTORNEYS BELIEVE IS NOT SENSITIVE. WHAT THEY ARE SAYING THIS PROPOSED ORDER BY THE GOVERNMENT, IT IS BROOD, VIOLATES HIS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. I SHOULD SAY IT IS RARE TO EVER SEE A FIGHT ABOUT A PROTECTIVE ORDER. GENERALLY THE DEFENSE COUNSEL IS HAPPY TO HAVE IT OVER EVERIING AND IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL N. THIS CASE, THE TRUMP SIDE OBVIOUSLY WANTS TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS SOME OF THE EVIDENCE THAT IS OBTAINED. I THINK I FOUND THE KEY LINE HERE. THEY HAVE A PROPOSED ORDER WHERE THEY RED LINE AREAS WHERE THEY WOULD CHANGE WHAT THE GOVERNMENT PROPOSED. IN A LIST OF SENSITIVE MATERIAL, THE GOVERNMENT INCLUDING BASICALLY ALL OF THE WITNESS TESTIMONY, SO, RECORDINGS, TRANSCRIPTS, INTERVIEW REPORTS, RELATED EXHIBITS IN INTERVIEWS. TRUMP WOULD SUBSTITUTE THAT FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE GOVERNMENT'S CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES AND JEOPARDIZE WITNESS SECURITY. WHAT IT MEANS THE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE TO LITIGATE EVERY POSSIBLE WITNESS STATEMENT THAT DONALD TRUMP MIGHT TREAT ABOUT OR PUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA IF IT THOUGHT IT COULD THREATEN OR HARM THAT WITNESS. THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL WANT TO DO. CAN NOT IMAGINE THE JUDGE WILL WANT TO DO IT. IT IS WHAT TRUMP SIDE IS PROPOSING. THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO PUT OUT SOME OF THE HUNDREDS OF WITNESS TESTIMONIES AND STATEMENTS THAT THEY ARE GOING TO OBTAIN FROM JACK SMITH THAT HE GOT IN HIS INVESTIGATION, ALLISON? >> DO WE HAVE A SENSE HOW IT WILL PLAY OUT? A TIME LINE ON WHEN WE WILL SEE IT DISCUSSED FURTHER OR A DECISION MADE? >> Reporter: THEY COULD DECIDE AT ANY MOMENT, EVEN TONIGHT, TO IMPOSE THE PROSECUTION'S ORDER OR HAVE IT, IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS JUDGMENTS TO MOVE THINGS ALONG F. SHE DECIDES THAT THE TRUMP REQUEST IS OUT-OF-BOUNDS SHE MAY GRANT THE PROSECUTION'S ORDER AS SOON AS THIS EVENING. >> AND IN THE LAST LITTLE BIT, THERE IS SO MUCH NEWS AT 5:00 P.M. ON A MONDAY WE LEARNED THAT THE FORMER NYPD COMMISSIONER MET WITH THE SPECIAL COUNSEL FOR HOURS TODAY WHAT IS GOING ON THERE? HOW DOES A FORMER NYPD COMMISSIONER FIT INTO THIS CASE? >> Reporter: WELL, HE WAS A KEY INVESTIGATOR FOR RUDY GIULIANI AS GIULIANI AND OTHERS PURSUED WHAT WE KNOW AS BOGUS INVESTIGATIONS IN THE ELECTION AS THEY CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THE CO-CONSPITIORS. THEY ARE CONTINUING TO INVESTIGATE EVEN AFTER THEY INDICTED THE FORMER PRESIDENT. >> THANK YOU FOR BREAKING IT DOWN. >>> LET'S GO TO OUTSIDE OF THE COURTHOUSE IN ATLANTA. YOU ARE WAITING TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME SORT OF NEWS AS IT RELATES TO THE INVESTIGATION HAPPENING BY THE FULTON COUNTY DA? IN TERMS OF SECURITY, THE SCENE RIGHT NOW, WE HEARD THERE ARE DOGS OUT THERE FOR SECURITY AT THE COURTHOUSE TODAY. GIVE US A SENSE OF THE SCENE. >> Reporter: AT LEAST ONE, THEY CAME UP AND SNIFFED SOME OF THE CREW CARS, THE MEDIA CARS LINED HERE ON THE STREET, ALLISON, YES T IS STRONGER SECURITY THAN WE HAVE SEEN UP TO THIS POINT. WE KNOW THIS STREET RIGHT NOW I AM STANDING ON PRIOR STREET. THE MAIN STREET THAT RUNS IN FRONT OF THE COURTHOUSE THIS STREET IS SHUTDOWN TO REGULAR TRAFFIC. ONLY CARS COMING IN AND OUT ARE LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES AND ON OCCASION MEDIA VEHICLES IN THEY DROP OFF SUPPLIES. THIS STREET, NORMALLY BUSY, IS CLOSED. WE ARE SEEING INCREASED LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. AND, WE KNOW THAT MORE BARRICADES ARE OUT HERE AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN SOME OF THE VIDEO. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE EXPECTED. WE KNEW SECURITY WAS GOING TO INCREASE AS WE GOT CLOSER AND CLOSER TO WHAT WE ARE SEEING POTENTIAL INDICTMENTS HERE IN FULTON COUNTY. WE KNOW WE COULD SEE EVEN MORE SECURITY RAMP UP OVER THE COMING DAYS, ALLISON. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE IT. >>> TURNING NOW TO THE WEATHER. WITH TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES IN PHOENIX. THE KIDS THERE START THEIR FIRST FULL WEEK OF SCHOOL. THERE ARE SOME OF THE MORE THAN 70 MILLION PEOPLE UNDER HEAT ALERTS RIGHT NOW. MANY CITIES CLOSE TO OR AT RECORD HIGHS. JUST LISTEN TO WHAT HAPPENED TO A MAN IN TEXAS WHILE HE WAS OUT TAKING A WALK.. >> IT IS SO HOT. IT MELTED THE GLUE OFF OF THE BOTTOM OF MY SHOES. COMPLETELY.. >> FURTHER NORTH AND EAST WE ARE WATCHING FOR SEVERE STORMS THAT COULD CAUSE 70 MILE-AN- HOUR WINDS, HAIL THE SIZE OF BASEBALLS AND EVEN TORNADOES. FLOODING ALSO A CONCERN WITH THE STORMS BECAUSE THE GROUND IS ALREADY SATURATED FROM RAIN THIS MORNING. WE HAVE GEORGE IN PENNSYLVANIA ON THAT BUT FIRST LET'S START WITH DANA IN PHOENIX AND ON ALL OF THAT HEAT. DANA, WHAT ARE SCHOOLS THERE DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT KIDS STAY SAFE WHEN THERE IS REALLY NO END IN SIGHT FOR THE HEATWAVE? >> Reporter: ALLISON THEY ARE KEEPING THE KIDS HYDRATED. YOU CAN SEE A FEW OF THEM BEHIND ME. THEY ARE USUALLY INSIDE. THESE KIDS JUST CAME OUT MINUTES AGO TO ENJOY RECESS TIME. AND, SO, THEY GOT THAT LARGE CANOPY AS YOU CAN SEE TO COVER KIDS WHILE THEY ARE ON THE PLAYGROUND. THEY ALSO GOT A RUBBER COATING SO THAT WHEN THE HEAT HITS THE GROUND IT IS NOT BOUNCING BACK AND OVERTAKING THEM AS IF THEY WERE TO OPEN THE DOOR OF ONOVEN. SEVERAL THINGS THE DISTRICT HAS DONE. ADDED EXTRA MONEY TO MAKE SURE THE HVAC SYSTEM IS UPGRADED. ADDED NEW TREES SO KIDS OUTSIDE PLAY CHANGE HAVE SHADE WHEN THEY NEED A BREAK AND THEY ARE MAKING SURE THEY ARE HAVING PROGRAMS IN PLACE SO THAT ON DAYS WHEN THE HEAT INDEX IS SO BE INSIDE AND FOCUS ON STEAMN COURSES THAT STANDS FOR SCIENCE, ENGINEERING, TECHNOLOGY, MATH AND ART, AND SO THAT IS A BIG FOCUS WHEN THEY ARE OUTSIDE LIKE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW, EVEN THE PRINCIPAL IS KEEPING A WATCHFUL EYE. LISTEN. >> I WILL BE OUT ON THE PLAYGROUND WATCHING TO MAKE SURE THAT STUDENTS ARE NOT GETTING TOO FLUSHED OR THEY LOOK DISTRESSED. WE HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY OF MOVING THEM INTO THE CAFETERIA EARLIER IN THE EVENT IT IS ALSO A LITTLE BIT TOO HOT OUTSIDE.. >> Reporter: AND UNLIKE THE NORTHEAST WHERE SAY IT IS JUST COLD OR SNOW THEY GET SNOW DAYS THERE ARE NO HEAT DAYS, SO THEY JUST LEARN HOW TO ADAPT TO THE REALLY HOT TEMPERATURES WHICH HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN A MONTH NOW. ALLISON? >> DANA, THANK YOU. >>> NOW, LET'S GET FURTHER EAST WHERE WE ARE WATCHING FORSEVERE WEATHER. AND JUST LAST NIGHT THREE PEOPLE DIED AND SEVERAL MORE HURT WHEN A BUS COLLIDED ON A FREEWAY IN PENNSYLVANIA. STATE POLICE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF HEAVY RAIN IS PLAYING A ROLE IN THE CRASH. LET'S BRING IN GEORGE SOLIS. HE IS ON THE GROUND THERE. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE CRASH AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE CONDITIONS OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE HURT. >> ALLISON, A SCENE THERE WHEN YOU SEE THE FLIPPED OVER CHARTER BUS. WE ARE HEARING REPORTS THAT PEOPLE ESCAPED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD OF THE BUS THAT WAS BROKEN INTO BY THE FIRST RESPONDERS TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE COULD GET OUT. THIS, OF COURSE, YOU MENTIONED, THE HEAVY RAIN IS LOOKED AT BY PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS NOT A FACTOR IN THIS CRASH LOOKING AT A NUMBER OF VARIABLES TO SEE WHAT LED UP TO THIS DISASTER. THREE PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES, THE BUS WAS TRAVELING ALONG THE INTERSTATE BEHIND ME WHEN IT HIT AN EMBANKMENT, A CAR, FLIPPED OVER ON TO ITS SIDE ABOUT 40 OTHERS, WE ARE TOLD, INJURED. MOST OF THE PEOPLE WE ARE HEARING HAVE BEEN RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL. THERE ARE STILL OTHERS THAT ARE IN CRITICAL CONDITION AND SERIOUS CONDITION AT AREA HOSPITALS HERE. WE DID HEAR FROM A SURVIVOR OF THE CRASH. YOU CAN IMAGINE THEY ARE PRETTY SHAKEN UP. >> AND THE BUS VEERED A LITTLE SHARPER THAN I THOUGHT IT SHOULD. AND I LOOKED UP AND THERE WAS A, BEFORE YOU KNEW IT, IT HAD FLIPPED AND EVERYONE JUST KIND OF, YOU KNOW, WENT OFF TO THE SIDE. >> AGAIN, ONE OF THE MANY STORIES YOU ARE STARTING TO HEAR FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT WERE AT THE CENTER NOT FAR FROM WHERE THE CRASH WAS. MANY OF THEM HOME, OTHERS STILL WAITING FOR RIDES, WE ARE TOLD. IT IS A SCENE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE IMAGES IT IS AMAZING MORE PEOPLE WERE NOT SERIOUSLY HURT IN THIS CRASH, ALLISON. >> WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS, HOW MIGHT THAT IMPACT PEOPLE? >> Reporter: ALLISON YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE IT. THE CLOUDS, THEY ARE STARTING TO FORM BEHIND US. MILLIONS ARE AT RISK WITH SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED TO MOVE HERE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IN DC RIGHT NOW, WE KNOW FEDERAL WORKERS WERE ALLOWED TO GO HOME AT 3:00. THAT WAS PUT OUT BY THE OFFICIALS. SEVERE WEATHER IS MOVING IN. YOU BEST GET HOME BECAUSE THEY ARE EXPECTING THAT SEVERE WEATHER, THE INITIAL WEATHER SERVICE ISSUING A RARE LEVEL 4 OUT OF 5 BECAUSE THEY ARE THAT CERTAIN THAT A TORNADO MAY MOVE THROUGH THAT REGION. THEY ARE TAKING IT VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE, AGAIN, WE ARE EXPECTING SEVERE WEATHER TO MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR, ALLISON. >> ALL RIGHT, GEORGE, THANK YOU FOR THAT. >>> LET'S HEAD OVER TO CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR A NBC NEWS EXCLUSIVE WITH FORMER FLORIDA GOVERNOR DeSANTIS, OR CURRENT FLORIDA GOVERNOR DeSANTIS, RATHER, MAKING A BREAK YET WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT. TRUMP ON A PRETTY MUCH SETTLED MATTER. WHO WON THE 2020 ELECTION. HERE IS WHAT HE SAID. >> YES OR NO DID DONALD TRUMP WIN OR LOSE THE 2020 ELECTION. >> WHOEVER PUTS THEIR HAND ON THE BIBLE IS THE WINNER. >> RESPECTFULLY, YOU DID NOT CLEARLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION. IF YOU CAN'T GIVE A YES OR NO ON A YES OR NO IF TRUMP LOST. >> OF COURSE, OF COURSE HE LOST. >> Reporter: TRUMP LOST THE ELECTION? >> OKAY. >> JOE BIDEN IS THE PRESIDENT. >> THE COMMENTS COMING AS POLLS SHOW DeSANTIS 24 POINTS BEHIND MR. TRUMP IN IOWA. WE ARE IN CEDAR RAPIDS FOR MORE ON HER EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW. IT IS NOT HUGE CRITICISM TO SAY HE LOST BUT SHOULD WE READ THE COMMENTS AS A CAMPAIGN SHIFT TO GO AFTER TRUMP MORE DIRECTLY? >> Reporter: WELL, ALLISON, LOOK, IT IS THE MOST DIRECT, THIS IS THE STRONGEST LANGUAGE HE HAS USED WHEN IT COMES TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT. HE ALSO STARTED TO HONE IN HIS MESSAGE WHEN IT COMES TO THE FUTURE OF THIS PRIMARY SAYING THAT LOOK, IF WE ARE FOCUSED ON JANUARY 2021 WE ARE GOING TO LOSE AS REPUBLICANS BUT IF WE ARE FOCUSED ON JANUARY 2025, THEN WE ARE GOING TO WIN. AT THE SAME TIME, HE STILL IS TAKING ISSUE AND WALKING THAT FINE LINE THAT A LOT OF REPUBLICANS ARE WALKING WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT HAPPENED IN 2020. TAKE A LISTEN. >> THE ISSUE IS, I THINK, WITH PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA AND ELSEWHERE THEY WANT TO ACT LIKE SOMEHOW THIS IS JUST LIKE THE PERFECT ELECTION. SO, I DON'T THINK IT WAS A GOOD RUN ELECTION BUT I THINK REPUBLICANS DID NOT FIGHT BACK. YOU GOT TO FIGHT BACK ON THAT WHEN IT IS HAPPENING. >> HE ALSO STARTED SORT OF A NEW LINE OF ATTACK ON THE FORMER PRESIDENT SAYING THAT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTION THAT HE COMPLAINS ABOUT LIKE MAIL IN VOTING ARE PROBLEMS OF HIS OWN MAKING. ISSUES OF THE ADMINISTRATION WAS IN CHARGE OF AT THE TIME, ALLISON? >> HE ALSO SPOKE WITH YOU ABOUT ABORTION AND STANCE OF ANTI- ABORTION GROUPS ARE NOT HUGE FANS OF, TELL US ABOUT THAT. >> Reporter: LOOK, HE IS TRYING TO, AGAIN, SORT OF WALK THAT FINE LINE ON THIS ISSUE. AT THE END OF THE DAY HE SORT HAS BEEN IMPLYING IT IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE A STATE BY STATE DECISION. TAKE A LISTEN TO THAT PART OF OUR CONVERSATION. >> ABORTION ISSUE THAT SHOULD JUST BE DEALT WITH BY A STATE BY STATE. >> I AM PRO-LIFE, I HAVE A RECEIVE OF PROMOTING LIFE IN FLORIDA LIKE IN IOWA, SOUTH CAROLINA, RETURNING IT TO THE POLITICAL BRANCHES, THE REALITY IS THAT BASICALLY MEANS THE STATES ARE GOING TO HAVE PRIMARY CONTROL OVER IT. >> Reporter: IT IS INTERESTING TOO, ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL HIS MESSAGING DOES TEND TO CHANGE IF HE IS CAMPAIGNING IN IOWA, FOR EXAMPLE VERSUS NEW HAMPSHIRE, HERE IN IOWA THEY HAVE A SIMILAR POLICY IN PLACE AS THEY DO IN FLORIDA. HE SIGNED A SIX WEEK BAN IN FLORIDA, THEY HAVE SOMETHING SIMILAR HERE. WHEN HE GOES TO NEW HAMPSHIRE HE DOES NOT TALK ABOUT IT SO MUCH. WHEN IT COMES TO THE NATIONAL LEVEL ACTIONS THAT HE MAY OR MAY NOT TAKE HE WAS NOT SO CLEAR ON THAT. FOCUSING ON THE STATE, SOMETHING THAT ANTI-ABORTION GROUPS ARE NOT SO HAPPY WITH, ALLISON? >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. >>> YOU CAN SEE MORE OF HER INTERVIEW TONIGHT ON NBC NIGHTLY NEWS WITH LESTER HOLT AT 6:30 P.M. EASTERN ON YOUR LOCAL NBC STATION. >>> TODAY UKRAINE'S SECURITY SERVICE INTERCEPTED A RUSSIAN INFORMANT IN CONNECTION TO A ASSASSINATION PLOT AIMED AT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY. THE WOMAN WAS SHARING EVIDENCE WITH RUSSIANS TO SET UP AN AIR STRIKE TARGETING HIM WITH HIS TRIP TO SOUTHERN UKRAINE. THE WOMAN HAS NOT BEEN NAMED. UKRAINE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS CLAIM YOU CAN SEE HER HERE IN THE CENTER OF THIS PHOTO. THEY SAY SHE WAS CAUGHT RED HANDED AS SHE DELIVERED INFORMATION TO THE RUSSIANS. NBC NEWS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY CONFIRM THIS. MATT, PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY TRAVELS A LOT, RIGHT? HOW VULNERABLE IS HE TO A POTENTIAL ATTACK AND WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS WOMAN AND THE INFORMATION SHE ALLEGEDLY GAVE THE RUSSIANS? >> Reporter: ALLISON, YOU ARE RIGHT, VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY TRAVELS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND TO THE FRONTLINES AND THE REGION WHERE THIS OCCURS IS IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTRY. IT ACTUALLY IS THE TIP OF THE SPEAR THEY ARE HOPING TO PUSH DOWN INTO THAT AREA. SO, WHEN A PERSON LIKE ZELENSKYY VISITS TROOPS AND PEOPLE ON THE FRONTLINES HE REALLY DOES PUT HIMSELF AT RISK. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAVE SEEN AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AND THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE CALLING IT NOW. BACK IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE INVASION, THE RUSSIANS WERE AT THE DOORSTEP, THERE WERE COMPLAINEDO UNITS ACCORDING TO THE UKRAINIANS TRYING TO FIND ZELENSKYY AND ASSASSINATE HIM AND HIS FAMILY THERE IS SOMETHING WE HEARD FROM VARIOUS SOURCES INCLUDING U.S. INTELLIGENCE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME. THE FACT THAT HE CONTINUES TO TRAVEL AROUND THE COUNTRY. THE FACT THAT HE DID NOT LEAVE UKRAINE UNTIL HE VISITS THE STATES BACK IN 2022 THAT IS ONE EVER THE THINGS ABOUT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY THAT MAKES HIM POPULAR. HE STAYS AND HE DOES NOT SEEM AFRAID OF ALL OF THREATS AGAINST HIS LIFE. NOW, YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT THIS WOMAN DETAINED, NOT CHARGED BUT DETAINED. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE FROM THE UKRAINIAN OFFICIAL PRESIDENCY, UKRAINIAN INTELLIGENCE SHE WAS CAUGHT IN THE ACT, CAUGHT RED HANDED NOT SPYING, NECESSARILY, NOT NECESSARILY ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ZELENSKYY'S ITINERARY BUT HANDING OVER THAT INFORMATION TO HER RUSSIAN HANDLERS THAT IS IS ACORDING TO INTELLIGENCE THAT IS WHY THEY LET THIS GO ON BECAUSE THEY WERE HOPING TO ENSNARE THE RUSSIAN SPIES WHO WERE OPERATING THIS WOMAN ON THE GROUND THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE ARE ONLY HEARING ABOUT IT NOW ALMOST A MONTH AFTER ALL OF THE EVENTS OCCURRED. ALMOST A MONTH AFTER HE VISITED AND WAS NOT IN RISK OF HIS LIFE. WE ARE HEARING ABOUT IT IN A BELATED WAY. IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT RUSSIAN TACTICS, WE CAN NOT BE SURE ALL OF IT IS TRUE. WE ARE STARING AT IT THROUGH A PEEPHOLE. NONE OF IT IS OFF BASE. >> MATT BRADLEY, THANK YOU. >>> THE FORMER POLICE OFFICER HELD BACK BY BYSTANDERS DURING GEORGE FLOYD, HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF AIDING AND ABETTING IN SECOND DEGREE MANSLAUGHTER. HERE HE WAS EARLIER THAO SAID HE WAS A HUMAN TRAFFIC ZONE AS HE KEPT PEOPLE BAD AS GEORGE FLOYD PLEADED FOR HIS LIFE >> DESPITE WHAT THE COURT HAS RULED I KNOW WE CAN NOT HIDE OUR THOUGHTS AND INTENT FROM GOD BUT WE MUST GIVE ACCOUNT ON A DAY WE APPEAR BEFORE GOD. I MUST OBEY TO HOLD ON TO THE TRUTH THAT I DID NOT COMMIT THESE CRIMES. >> TOU THAO WAS THE LAST OF THE FOUR SENTENCED AT THE STATE LEVEL FOR HIS ROLE IN THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD. A MURDER THAT SET OFF PROTESTS ACROSS THE GLOBE OVER POLICE BRUTALITY AND RACISM. SHAQ, TALK US THROUGH WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT TODAY. >> Reporter: YOU SAW THE JUDGE GIVE THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE SENTENCE FOR THAT CHARGE OF SECOND DEGREE MANSLAUGHTER. OR AIDING AND ABETTING. PROSECUTORS LISTED AND WHAT YOU HEARD THROUGH DURING THE TRIAL AND DRCHTS PLOAGZS THEY TOU THAO THAT HE ACTED AS A SHIELD BETWEEN BYSTANDERS AND INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO THE PLEAS INSTEAD HE MADE FUN OF HIM AND DID NOT RENDER THE AID THAT HE WAS TRAINED TO DO. I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE JUDGE AS HE EXPLAINS WHY HE GAVE THAT MAXIMUM SENTENCE. >> I WAS HOPING FOR A LITTLE MORE REMORSE, REGRET, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF SOM RESPONSIBILITY AND LESS PREACHING. >> YOU NOW MENTIONED IT CONCLUDES THE CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS SURROUNDING GEORGE FLOYD'S MURDER. YOU HAVE SEEN THE RANGE OF SENTENCES FOR 22 1/2 YEARS FOR DEREK SHAUVIN DOWN TO THREE YEARS. >> HE IS ALREADY SERVING A 3 1/2 FEDERAL SENTENCE. THE SENTENCE HE GOT TODAY IN THE STATE TRIAL MIGHT NOT AMOUNT TO A LOT MORE TIME RATHER BEHIND BARS, IS IT DID GOING TO RUN CONCURRENTLY? >> Reporter: THAT IS RIGHT. IT WILL. HOW MUCH TIME HE WILL SERVE BEHIND BARS IT REQUIRES A LITTLE BIT OF MATH. 42 MONTHS, IN FEDERAL COURT THERE IS THE SENTENCING MEMO WITH THE PROSECUTORS, ASSUMING HE GETS GOOD TIME CREDIT HE WILL SERVE 35.7 MONTHS. WITH THE STATE SENTENCE, 57 MONTH SENTENCE IN MINNESOTA HE WILL ONLY SERVE TWO THIRDS OF THAT BEHIND BARS? HE WILL BE BEHIND BARS 47 MONTHS, IT IS ABOUT TWO MORE MONTHS HE WILL BE BEHIND BARS FOR THIS SENTENCE AND FOR HIS INVOLVEMENT IN GEORGE FLOYD'S MURDER. >> SHAQ BREWSTER, THANK YOU. >>> A BIG TRUCKING COMPANY THAT GOT A HUGE FEDERAL BAIL OUT DECLARING BANKRUPTCY. WHAT IS NEXT FOR CUSTOMERS AND THE MONEY IT STILL OWES THE GOVERNMENT. >>> MUSK AND ZUCKERBERG. THAT IS IN OUR FIVE THINGS >>> NEWS FOR THE GENERATION OF NOW IS NBC NEWS NOW. >>> POPULAR NURSING PILLOWS ASSOCIATED WITH MORE THAN 160 INFANT DEATHS ACCORDING TO THE FIRST OF ITS KIND DATA BY NBC NEWS. NOW THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION IS WORKING ON A PROPOSAL. THE HORSESHOE SHAPE CUSHIONS, MUST HELP TOOL FOR NEW MOMS FEEDING THEIR BABIES AND MANUFACTURES SAY THEY ARE SAFE IF THEY ARE USED AS INTENDED TO HELP CRADLE AND SUPPORT BABES DURING BREASTFEEDING AND BOTTLE- FEEDING. INFANTS CAN SUFFER IN A MATTER OF MINUTES IF LEFT UNSUPERVISED OR PUT TO SLEEP WITH THE PILLOWS. BABIES SLUMP DOWN ON THE PILLOWS OR AFTERNOON BACKWARDS CONSTRICTING THEIR AIRWAYS, OTHERS TURN THEIR FACES INTO THE PILLOW, SUFFOCATING. NOW, ELIZABETH, THESE PILLOWS ARE HUGELY POPULAR, I THINK ANY TIME I HAVE GONE TO A BABY SHOWER THIS IS ON A LIST OF PEOPLE WANT. MORE THAN A MILLION ARE SOLD A YEAR. PARENTS YOU SPOKE TO HAVE NOT BEEN AWARE OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS, RIGHT? >> Reporter: YES, HI, ALLISON, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME TO DISCUSS THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE. IT IS TRUE THAT THESE PILLOWS ARE A MAINSTAY, THAT ARE EVERYWHERE. WE SPOKE WITH GRIEVING PARENTS WHO HAD NO IDEA THAT A PILLOW MARKETED FOR USE WITH INFANTS ARE SO DANGEROUS. SHE PUT HER BABY ON IT BECAUSE HE WAS CONJECTED AND BELIEVED THE ANGLE WOULD HELP HIM BREATHE BETTER. OTHER ANDS DROPPED THEIR BABIES OFF AT DAYCARE AND THE DAYCARE STAFF THEY TRUSTED THEIR CHILDREN TO PUT THEM ON NURSING PILLOWS FOR NAPS ON THE FLOOR AND TRAGEDY HAPPENED. FEDERAL REGULATORS ARE EXPECTED TO UNVEIL SOME SORT OF PROPOSAL TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE THEM LESS DANGEROUS FOR FAMILIES. IN THE MEANTIME THEY HAVE TAKEN VERY LITTLE ACTION AT ALL. IN FACT, THE MOST ACTION THEY HAVE TAKEN WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHEN THEY ISSUED A GENERAL WARNING TO PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS AND SAID THAT THESE PILLOWS ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR SLEEPING AND NOT USED FOR SLEEP. HOWEVER, WHAT WE FOUND IN OUR INVESTIGATION IS THAT WARN DEGREE NOT EFFECT IT. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST SEVERAL DOZEN DEATHS THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN THIS INCIDENT, UNFORTUNATELY. >> THE MANUFACTURES WHO MAKE THESE PILLOWS HAVE THEY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF NEW REGULATIONS? >> YES, THEY HAVE. THERE IS AN ALLIANCE THAT FORMED LAST YEAR CALLED THE BREASTFEEDING INFANT DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT ALLIANCE. THIS IS BACKED BY SEVERAL LEADING PLFERS OF THE NURSING PILLOWS. AND, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY FRAMED THE CONCEPT OF FEDERAL REGULATION OF THE PILLOWS ISSUE. ONE QUOTE THEY HAVE SAID THAT WOMEN'S RIGHTS ARE BEING GUTTED AND THE ABILITY FOR WOMEN AND PARENTS TO CHOOSE HOW THEY FEED THEIR BABY IS NEXT ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK. NOW, THE CPSC DENIES THEY ARE CONSIDERING ANY SORT OF ALL OUT BAN OF NURSING PILLOWS. THEY RECOGNIZE THEY SERVE AN IMPORTANT PURPOSE BUT THE PROPOSAL THEY ARE EXPECTED TO UNVEIL WILL PROBABLY BE OR COULD POSSIBLY INCLUDE DESIGN CHANGES THAT MIGHT MAKE THE PILLOWS LESS INVITING FOR PARENTS TO RAISE THEIR BABIES TO SLEEP ON THEM >> AND THE RESEARCH FROM YOUR REPORTING YOU SEEMED TO HAVE FOUND, YOU DID FIND 160 INFANT DEATHS SINCE 2007, BASED ON YOUR REPORTING YOU SEEM TO HAVE FOUND THE NUMBER IS PROBABLY A LOT HIGHER THAN THAT, WHY DO YOU THINK THAT? >> YES. UNFORTUNATELY WE DO BELIEVE THAT THE NUMBER IS QUITE A BIT HIGHER. FOR OUR REPORTING WE COMBED THROUGH HUNDREDS OF PUBLIC RECORDS. WE LOOKED AT POLICE REPORTS, MEDICAL EXAMINER'S REPORTS, AUTOPSY REPORTS, AND WE ARRIVED AT THAT FIGURE OF 160 INFANT DEATHS FROM THESE INCIDENTS INVOLVING NURSING PILLOWS. HOWEVER, OFTENTIMES AUTOPSY REPORTS DID NOT INCLUDE PRODUCT DETAILS. MEANING THERE HAVE LIKELY BEEN PLANE INCIDENTS THAT DID NOT COME ACROSS OUR RADAR BECAUSE THE SPECIFICS WERE NOT IN THEIR REPORTS. WE DO BELIEVE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MORE OF THESE DEATHS. >> QUICKLY BEFORE I LET YOU GO FOR NEW MOMS WHO MIGHT HAVE IT OR THINKING OF GIVING IT AS A GIFT FOR A FRIEND, A FAMILY MEMBER, WHAT IS THE ADVICE? SHOULD THEY NOT USE THEM OR MAKE SURE HOW PEOPLE SHOULD USE THEM? >> I AM GLAD YOU ASKED THAT. EVERYONE IS SUPPORTIVE OF BREASTFEEDING, BOTTLE-FEEDING YOUR BABY, HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE TO FEED YOUR BABY YOU SHOULD DO THAT. THESE PILLOWS DO SERVE AN IMPORTANT PURPOSE. HELP YOU TO PROP UP THE BABY, PROVIDE A PLACE OR YOU TO SUPPORT YOUR HARMS SO NEW MOTHERS DON'T GET ARM OR NECK STRAIN WHILE FEEDING THEIR BABIES, SOMETHING THEY DO MANY TIMES ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE NEWBORNS, EVERYONE FEELS THEY ARE GOOD AND SERVE A USEFUL PURPOSE. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU ARE DONE FEEDING THEM, MOVE YOURSELF AND THEM AWAY FROM THE NURSING PILLOW, DO NOT PUT THE BABY OR YOURSELF ON THAT IF YOU FALL ASLEEP WHILE BREASTFEEDING TO SLEEP ON THE PILLOW. THAT IS WHERE THE DANGER COMES IN. >> ALL RIGHT, ELIZABETH CHUCK THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORTING. >>> LET'S GET YOU OVER TO THE FIVE THINGS OUR TEAM THINKS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TONIGHT. NUMBER ONE. THREE PEOPLE DIED AFTER TWO HELICOPTERS COLLIDED WHILE RESPONDING TO A FIRE IN CALIFORNIA ON SUNDAY. ONE OF THE CHOPPERS LANDED SAFELY BUT THE OTHER CRASHED TO THE GROUND KILLING EVERYONE ON BOARD. TWO FIREFIGHTERS AND A PILOT. STATE FIRE OFFICIALS SAY THE NTSB IS INVESTIGATING WHAT CAUSED THE COLLISION. NUMBER 2, RAPPER TORY LANES EXPECTED TO BE SENTENCED. THEY ARE ASKING THEM TO SENTENCE HIM TO 13 YEARS? THEY ARGUE THAT HE HAS NOT SHOWN ANY REMORSE FOR HIS ACTION AND INCITED HIS FANS INTO HARASSING HER OVER SOCIAL MEDIA. >>> NUMBER THREE, HOLLYWOO DIRECTOR DIED TODAY. AN ICON OF THE NEW HOLLYWOOD MOVEMENT OF THE LATE '60s AND '70s WHEN FILMMAKERS TOOK OVER CREATIVE CONTROL FROM THE STUDIO SYSTEM. HE WAS 87-YEAR-OLD. >>> AND THE CAGE FIGHT BETWEEN MUSK AND ZUCKERBERG IT MIGHT BE TAKING SHAPE. SUNDAY, MUSK SAID IT WILL BE LIVE STREAMED ON HIS PLATFORM X, FORMALLY KNOWN AS TWITTER. ALL PROCEEDS WOULD GO TO CHARITY FOR VETERANS, NO DATE IS SET AND MUSK SAYS HE MIGHT NEED TO HAVE SURGERY BEFORE THE FIGHT EVER EVEN HAPPENS. >>> NUMBER 5, PRESIDENT BIDEN WELCOMED THE HOUSTON ASTROS TO THE WHITE HOUSE TO CELEBRATE THEIR 2022 WORLD SERIES WIN OVER THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES. THE SECOND TRIP TO THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THE ASTROS, THE FIRST BACK IN 2018. JUST THREE YEARS AFTER GETTING A MASSIVE BAIL OUT FROM THE GOVERNMENT ONE EVER COUNTRY'S BIGGEST SHIPPING COMPANIES IS NO MORE. YELLOW IS FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY. THE CEO FOR THE COUNTRY PUTTING THE BLAME ON THE TEAMSTERS THE COMPANY PULLED IN A $700 MILLION LOAN FROM THE CARES ACT BACK IN 2020 EVEN THOUGH MANY WARNED THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM GIVING THEM THAT MONEY. 30,000 PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO LOSE THEIR JOBS. JAKE WARD JOINS ME WITH MORE. YELLOW'S LOAN IS ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL FROM ALL OF THE COVID RELIEF LOANS N PART BECAUSE ANALYSTS SAID IT WAS INEVITABLE REGARDLESS. EXPLAIN TO US WHAT HAPPENED HERE. >> Reporter: THE NUMBERS REALLY TELL THE STORY. WE KNOW AT THIS POINT THAT YELLOW, THE THIRD LARGEST TRUCKER OF ITS CATEGORY IF YOU NEED TO FILL NOT AN ENTIRE SHIPPING CONTAINER BUT JUST ENOUGH TO MOVE SOMETHING AROUND, YELLOW IS WHO YOU WOULD GO TO FOR ROCK BOTTOM PRICES. THEY WERE INTO THEIR CREDITORS BY $1.5 BILLION AND ABOUT $700 MILLION OF THAT WAS A MATTER OF THE CARES ACT. THAT OUTSTANDING BALANCE CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. THEY PAID ABOUT $54 MILLION IN INTEREST TO THE GOVERNMENT BUT AT THERE POINT, THEY HAD ONLY PAID $230, NOT MILLION OR THOUSAND, BUT $230 OF THE PRINCIPAL REPAID TO THE GOVERNMENT. THIS FOLLOWS AS YOU MENTIONED A LOT OF CONTROVERSY. BACK IN 2022, A GROUP OF DEMOCRATS PUT OUT A REPORT THAT FOUND WHAT THEY CALLED IMPROPER DEALINGS IN THE AWARDING OF A MORE THAN $700 MILLION LOAN UNDER THE CARES ACT TO THE TRUCKING COMPANY. A LONG TIME RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HEADS OF THE COMPANY AND THE BACKERS OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND AT THE TIME SENATOR POINTED OUT POLITICAL APPOINTEES RISKED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IN PUBLIC FUNDS AND WOUND UP DISREGARDING PROVISIONS OF THE CARES ACT INTENDED TO PROTECT TAXPAYERS, WALL STREET AT THERE POINT AGREES WITH HIM. ANALYSTS TODAY, POINTING OUT THAT YELLOW HAS GONE TO CREDITORS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AT A CERTAIN POINT THEY RUN OUT OF PATIENCE. A LIMITED APPETITE. >> I THINK A BIG QUESTION PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE IS WHAT HAPPENS TO MY MONEY? BECAUSE IF YOU ARE A STUDENT WHO HAS DEBT FROM STUDENT LOANS AND YOU JUST PAID $230 ON THE THOUSANDS YOU OWE IT WILL NOT WORK. THIS IS TAXPAYER MONEY IS IT JUST GONE? >> THERE IS THE THING, RIGHT? YOU REMEMBER THE CONTROVERSY THAT DOGGED AN ADMINISTRATION AFTER A SOLARCOMPANY FAILED AFTER AN INVESTMENT. IN THIS CASE THE LOAN OF $700 MILLION OUT STRIPS THAT ONE T. IS NOT CLEAR YET. THE COMPANY LEADERSHIP IS INTENT ON PAYING THE GOVERNMENT BACK. THE FACT THEY ONLY PUT $230 TOWARDS THE PRINCIPAL SO FAR DOES NOT GO WELL FOR THAT? >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. >>> WHEN WE COME BACK WHAT THE OFFICIALS IN TEXAS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS EXPLOSIVE FIRE AT A PLANT. >>> PLUS, THE PLAYER OF MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THIS VERY VIRAL FIGHT ON THE CITY'S RIVERFRONT WHAT IS NEXT FOR THOSE INVOLVED, AFTER A BREAK . >>> TONIGHT, THE MAYOR REACTING TO THE GROUPS FIGHTING. THE PERSON RECORDING THIS ONE TELLING NBC NEWS IT STARTED BECAUSE A BOAT WAS BLOCKING THE SPOT WHERE THE RIVERBOAT SHE WAS ON NEEDED TO DOCK. SHE SAYS THE CREWMEN FROM HER BOAT DISEMBARKED. YOU SEE THE FIGHT STARTING RIGHT THERE. PEOPLE RUNNING OVER, JOINING? IT TURNED INTO A MASSIVE ALL OUT BRAWL WITH PUNCHING, SHOVING, KICKING, AT ONE POINT, SOMEONE ENDED UP IN THE WATER. THE MAYOR SAYS THEY ARE INVESTIGATING THE INCIDENT >> SOMETHING WE TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY AND DELIBERATELY WITH ANY MATTER THAT HAPPENS THROUGHOUT OUR CITY REGARDING PUBLIC SAFETY. WE ARE FULLY ENGAGED AND DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE TO FIND OUT WHAT TOOK PLACE. >> NOW, LET'S MONITOR ALL OF THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS, WHEN I SAW THE VIDEO LATER THIS WEEKEND I HAD TO REWATCH IT. I COULD NOT WRAP MY BRAIN AROUND WHAT HAPPENED WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE AND WHERE THIS INVESTIGATION STANDS? >> ALLISON, VERY SHOCKING VIDEO. I WILL START WITH THE INVESTIGATION AT THIS HOUR THE OFFICIALS SAY THEY ARE REVIEWING VIDEO OF THESE, THIS INCIDENT AND THERE COULD BE MORE ARREST WARRANTS THAT ARE COMING. FOR NOW, WE KNOW THAT INVESTIGATORS HAVE ISSUED FOUR ARREST WARRANTS. SO FAR, THOUGH, NO ARRESTS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN PLAYED. TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THIS VIDEO AND WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED, WITNESSES SAY THAT THIS RIVERBOAT CRUISE WAS TRYING TO DOCK, THEY HAD REPORTEDLY ASKED THE OWNER OF THAT PONTOON TO MOVE THE BOAT. AFTER NO ONE MOVED THE BOAT, THAT IS WHEN A CREWMEN GOT OFF OF THE RIVERBOAT AND BEGAN TO APPEAR TO UNTIE THE PONTOON, QUICKLY, WITNESSES SAY THE VOLKS WHO THAT PONTOON BELONGED TO CAME DOWN. THERE WERE SEVERAL MINUTES OF A HEATED CONVERSATION AND THEN YOU SEE IN THAT VIDEO, A MAN SHOVE A WORKER THAT WAS TRYING TO HELP AND CHAOS ENSUES WITHIN SECONDS OF THAT HAPPENING. I WANT TO PLAY A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT ONE OF THE WITNESSES ON THAT RIVERBOAT DESCRIBED IN TERMS OF HOW ALL OF THIS UNFOLDED. TAKE A LISTEN. >> WE WERE ALL IN THE BOAT. AND, WITNESSING OUR CREWMEN BEING ATTACKED BY THESE GUYS AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE, WE WERE FORCED TO BE SPECTATORS. IT DID NOT HAVE TO TURN INTO THE BRAWL OF COURSE BUT IT OCCURRED BECAUSE EVER THE ANGER AND E PLOAGZS AND THE FRUSTRATIONS ALL OF US WERE FEELING. -- EMOTIONS AND THE FRUSTRATIONS ALL OF US WERE FEELING. >> ONCE THE RIVERBOAT DOCKED IT APPEARS YOU SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE RUNNING OFF OF THE BOAT, RUNNING OVER TO THE PONTOON, A MAN PUNCHES THE MAN WHO WAS ON THE PONTOON AND THEN WE SEE THE FIGHTING ERUPTING AGAIN. THIS TIME, THERE APPEAR TO BE MORE THAN A DOZEN PEOPLE INVOLVED. ONE POINT A WOMAN IS THROWN INTO THE WATER. THERE IS ALSO FOOTAGE APPEARING SOMEONE BEING HIT BY A CLAIRE. JUST AN INCREDIBLY DISTURBING EVENT. AS YOU MENTIONED THE MAYOR IS SPEAKING OUT I WANT TO PLAY OR READ A LITTLE BIT IN A STATEMENT. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTED SWIFTLY TO DETAIN WRECKS INVOLVES FOR ATTACKING A MAN DOING HIS JOB. WARRANTS SIGNED AND JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED. THOSE THAT SHOWED VIOLENCE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. AND, ONE EFFORT CONVERSATIONS THAT WE ARE SEEING HAPPENING ON LINE IS PEOPLE NOTING THE RACIAL DYNAMICS OF THIS SITUATION. THAT IT WAS A BLACK WORKER THAT APPEARED TO BE A GROUP OF WHITE FOLKS WHEN IT BEGAN. POLICE WERE ASKED IF THEY ARE REVIEWING IT AS A RACIALLY CHARGED INCIDENT. THEY DECLINED TO SAY IF THEY WERE OR WERE NOT. THEY SAID THEY ARE CONTINUING TO INVESTIGATE. ALLISON? >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. >>> COMING UP, RECORD FLOODING NEAR A GLACIER MELTING IN ALASKA. GOING INTO RIVER. MORE ON THAT IN THE LOCAL. THE COMPANY MAKING A COOL START FOR A DIRTY JOB. HOW IT IS USING AI AND ROBOTS TO REIMAGINE RECYCLING. STAY . >>> STARTING TODAY, A HISTORIC CHANGE FOR BLOOD DONATION RULES. NOW ALLOWING MORE GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN BEING ABLE TO DONATE BLOOD. RULES ESTABLISHED IN THE '80s WITH THE HIV AND AIDS CRISIS. THEY LONG CALL TODAY DISCRIMTORY. THE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS BUT THERE IS STILL MORE WORK TO BE DONE TO MAKE FLOOD DONATION EVEN MORE INCLUSIVE. AND IT COMES NOT LONG SINCE THE RED CROSS WARNED OF THE FIRST EVER BLOOD CRISIS EARLY THIS YEAR. DR. TORRES JOINS ME NOW, WALK US THROUGH WHAT THE GUIDELINES LOOK LIKE STARTING TODAY. IT IS A BIG DEAL >> IT IS A BIG DEAL. HOPEFULLY IT WILL LEAD TO MORE BLOOD DONATIONS. IN THE '80s, THE HIV CRISIS, THEY EXCLUDED GAY MEN, WE WILL EXCLUDE THEM TO TWO YEARS AND REDUCE TODAY TO THREE MONTHS A COUPLE YEARS AGO. INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT SEXUAL ORIENTATION AS ARE YOU A GAY MAN LOOKING AT BEHAVIOR, A MAN, A WOMAN, DO YOU HAVE BEHAVIORS. I THINK WE HAVE A FULL SCREEN LOOKING AT WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. IF YOU HAVE HAD ANNAL SEX, MULTIPLE PARTNERS WITH ANNAL SEX IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS DO NOT DONATE UNTIL THAT IS THROUGH AND ON TOP OF THAT REQUIREMENTS IN THERE FOR PREP OR PEP; POST EXPOSURE AND PREEXPOSURE. IF YOU ARE USING THAT, HIV MIGHT NOT BE DETECTABLE BUT YOU MIGHT HAVE IT. THEY ARE SAYING 23 MONTHS. THAT IS WHERE THE CONTROVERSY COMES IN A LITTLE BIT. IF I AM PRACTICING SAFE SEX, IF MY HIV STATUS IS LOW, OR UNDETECTED WHY CAN'T I DONATE BLOOD. >> THERE IS A LOT MORE TO BE DONE. GIVE US A REALITY CHECK. >> THE BLOOD SHORTAGE. DONATE BLOOD IF YOU CAN IN TIMES OF CRISIS WHEN WE NEED IT. 3% OF PEOPLE DONATE BLOOD . IT IS NOT ENOUGH. BLOOD DOUGH NATIONS ARE NOT SUFFICIENT AND THEY PUT BLOOD DRIVES OUT THERE. LUCKILY PEOPLE ANSWER THAT CALL F. WE CAN GET IT MORE REGULARLY THAT WILL HELP. AGAIN, THE RED CROSS SUPPLIES 40% OF FLOOD NEEDED THAT IS PEOPLE HAVING SURGERIES AND OTHER SITUATIONS, ONLY 3%. THIS WILL HELP BUT PEOPLE SAY WE NEED TO GO FURTHER. >> ALL RIGHT, DR. JOHN TORRES, APPRECIATE IT. >>> NBC COVERS HUNDREDS OF STORIES EVERY DAY AND BECAUSE YOU COULD NOT POSSIBLY READ, WATCH OR LISTEN TO ALL OF THEM, OUR BUREAU TEAMS HAVE DONE IT FOR YOU THERE IS WHAT THEY TELL US IS GOING DOWN IN THEIR REGION IN A SEGMENT CALLED THE BUREAU. >>> FLOODING IN ALASKA COLLAPSING HOMES INTO A RIVER. OFFICIALS IN THE CAPITOL CITY DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AFTER HUGE AMOUNT OF WATER WAS RELEASED. TWO HOMES FLOODED AWAY. OTHERS ARE AT RISK. >>> IN THE SOUTHERN BUREAU. THERE WAS AN EXPLOSIVE FIRE AT A PAINT PLANT IN TEXAS THIS MORNING. OFFICIALS SAY ONE WORKER WAS INJURED. NOT SERIOUSLY, THOUGH, AND ALL OTHERS WERE SAFELY EVACUATED. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE. SHERWIN WILLIAMS SUSPENDED PRODUCTION AT THAT PLANT. ALSO, A MAMA BEAR AND THREE CUBS CAPTURED PLOW. CALIFORNIA FISH AND WILDLIFE SAYS DNA CONFIRMS THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR 20 HOME BREAK INS AND OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE AROUND LAKE TAHOE. THEY ARE GOING TO GO TO A SANCTUARY IN COLORADO AND HER CUBS WILL GO TO A REHAB FACILITY IN CALIFORNIA. >>> AS AI SPREADS INTO SO MANY PARTS OF OUR LIVES, A NEW START UP IS USING THE TECHNOLOGY AND ROBOTIC ARMS TO REIMAGINE THE CYCLING. THE AI IDENTIFIES SORTS OF RECYCLABLE ITEMS AND IT CAN IDENTIFY IT IN 12MILI SECONDS. IT CAN TELL WHAT THEY AND ARE WHAT PACKAGING THEY ARE IN. THEY GOT A LOOK AND BRINGS US THIS STORY IN THE CONTINUING SERIES ON CLIMATE START UP. >>> IS IT A MILK CONTAINER? CAN OF BUDWEISER? DEFINE THAT HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT AND DIRTY JOB IN RECYCLING PLANTS. NOW, COMPANIES AND A CALIFORNIA- START UP ARE USING AI AND ROBOTICS TO SIMPLIFY AND SPEEDUP THE PROCESS. >> THERE HAVE BEEN LOSING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO THE LANDFILL BECAUSE OF AI THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE VALUE OF THE LOSSES AND HAVE ROBOTIC ARMS TO CAPTURE THAT. >> THEY PUT 3 D CAMERAS ON THE LINES. THEY CAN IDENTIFY 200 ITEMS IN EACH FRAME. WITHIN 12MILISECONDS THE SOFTWARE CAN TELL WHAT THE OBJECTS AND ARE WHAT TYPE OF PACKAGING THEY ARE. >> WE GET DATA AROUND BRANDS, TYPES OF PACKAGING, TYPES OF MATERIAL, AND, HOW MUCH OF THAT IS GETTING RECOVERED AND REUSED AND HOW MUCH OF THAT MATERIAL IS BEING SENT TO THE LANDFILL. >> THAT HELPED INCREASE THE POTENTIAL RECOVERY OF RECYCLABLE ITEMS, ADD TO THAT ROBOTIC ARMS THAT RECOVER THE PACKAGING THREE TO FOUR TIMES MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN HUMANS, THAT MEANS BIG COST SAVINGS FOR MAJOR RECYCLERS. >> IF WE CAN REPLACE SOME PORTION OF THE ITEM POSITIONS WITH ROBOTS THAN HUMAN BEING IN A COST-EFFECTIVE WAY IT WILL BE GOOD FOR THE BUSINESS. >> Reporter: THEY ARE BACKED BY TRANSLINK CAPITAL AND BGV, SIERRA VENTURES AND EXPLORER CAPITAL, TOTAL FUND 24.6 BILLION. >>> FROM AN OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE IT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE. IS IT REALLY COST-EFFECTIVE TO RECYCLERS? >> IT IS. INCREASING THE RECYCLABLE ITEMS IS THE GOAL HERE. BUT COST SAVINGS IS A BIG PART OF THAT. WHEN YOU WEIGH THE COST OF THE AI AND THE ROBOTIC ARMS AGAINST COMPETING LABOR FORCE, YOU KNOW, THE AI AND THE ROBOTICS WILL WIN HANDS DOWN AND SAVE MONEY. PLUS, IT IS A SMELLY, DIRTY, DISGUSTING JOB THAT NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO DO. IT IS TOUGH TO GET PEOPLE TO COME IN AND WORK IN THIS JOB. IN A DECISION IT DOES QUALITY CONTROL. LIKE THIS AI CAN SEE IF THE KETCHUP BOTTLE STILL HAS KETCHUP OR IF IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED OUT. IT IS AMAZING WHAT IT CAN DO. >> THANK YOU. >>> WHEN WE COME BACK, BARBIE IS STILL BREAKING RECORDS AND MARKING A BIG MOMENT FOR THE FILM'S DIRECTOR. WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE . >>> BELIEVE IT OR NOT BARBIE IS BREAKI TO WARNER BROS. NO MOVIE IN THE STUDIO'S HISTORY HAS SOLD SO MANY TICKETS AND THE FIRST FEMALE TO HAVE DIRECTED BY HERSELF, SOLO DIRECTING CREDIT ON A $1 BILLION FILM. BARBIE IS THE BIGGEST BEING DIRECTED BY ONE WOMAN. "WONDER WOMAN." THE QUESTION NOW, WILL THIS MOMENT BE SHORT-LIVED WITH THE ONGOING STRIKES AND THE MOVIE RELEASE CALENDAR GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER. >> PAUL. SENIOR MEDIA ANALYST NOW, EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH YOU. THIS IS A REALLY EXCLUSIVE CLUB FOR GRETTA TO GET INTO, RIGHT? ONLY HELD BY MEN, WHAT KIND OF ACHIEVEMENT IS THIS, WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG FOR A WOMAN DIRECTOR TO HIT THIS BENCHMARK? HER FILMS HAVE DONE WELL BUT NEVER AT THIS LEVEL. BUT TO BE AT 1.034 BILLION AND EMBLAZED IN MY BRAIN THAT NUMBER, THROUGH ONLY THE THIRD WEEKEND IN THEATERS AROUND THE WORLD IT IS ASTOUNDING IT SHOWS ALL TYPES OF VOICES CAN DIRECT MOVIES. PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, POINTS OF VIEW. WHEN YOU HAVE A DIVERSE POINT OF VIEW IN THE PLIKS, REMEMBER, THE CREATIVE PROCESS INVOLVES A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT GRETA AT THE HELM OF THE MOVIE HAS DONE SOMETHING THAT I DON'T THINK ANYONE EXPECTED WHEN THE MOVIE WAS ANNOUNCED TO OPEN ON JULY 21st ALONG WITH OPPENHEIMER. IT IS A HUGE DEAL. CERTAINLY, WITH THE STRIKE THAT IS HAPPYING, IF YOU CAN NOT PRODUCE THE MOVIES AND THERE ARE NOT PEOPLE TO ACT IN THEM OR WRITE THEM THAT IS A HUGE DEAL. RIGHT NOW WE ARE ON A SUGAR HIGH. PEOPLE LOVE GOING TO THE MOVIE THEATERS BUT CHALLENGES LAY AHEAD >> YES. JUST THE STRIKE, WHAT DOES THE PLAYING FIELD LOOK LIKE IN THE COMING MONTHS. HARD TO PREDICT. ARE ANY MOVIES BEING AS HYPED? IF NOT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF GETTING PEOPLE INTO THE MOVIE THEATERS? >> THAT IS THE KEY QUESTION. PEOPLE WANT TO GO TO THE MOVIE THEATER BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE MOVIES. NOW, FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. A LOT OF FILMS ON THE CALENDAR. THEY HAVE BEEN SHOT ALREADY. THE QUESTION COMES INTO PLAY. HOW DOES THE MARKETING OF THE FILMS BECOME CHALLENGED IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE ACTORS OUT THERE BEING ABLE TO CAMPAIGN FOR THEM? IMAGINE IF YOU WILL IF BARBIE AND OPPENHEIMER COULD NOT GO OUT THERE AND PARTICULARLY THE ACTORS TO GO OUT THERE AND TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES. WE WOULD NOT BE TALKING ABOUT $1 BILLION. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT IT GETS RESOLVED SOONER THAN LATER. A HUGE DEAL FOR THE INDUSTRY. >> YES. FINGER'S CROSSED. ALL RIGHT, PAUL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WE APPRECIATE IT. >> RIGHT, THANK YOU, ALLISON. >> THAT IS A WRAP FOR THIS HOUR. COVERAGE PICKS UP RIGHT NOW. >>> WE ARE COMING ON THE AIR WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS RESPONSE -- TALKING ABOUT KEY EVIDENCE IN THE PIECE. AS THAT HAPPENS, GEORGIA IS PREPARING FOR POSSIBLE CHARGES. KIDS ARE JUST -- IN ARIZONA AS THEY GO BACK TO SCHOOL. WE TAKE YOU LIVE TO ARIZONA AND PENNSYLVANIA. >>> AND WE BRING YOU AN NBC INVESTIGATION ON HOW -- COULD BE DEADLY. >>> AND A REACTION TO AN ALABAMA BOAT RIVER BRAWLED THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. >>> AND, THAT IS LATER IN THE SHOW. IN THE LAST HOUR WE ARE SEEING THE ATTORNEYS FOR TRUMP PUSH TO STOP THE PRESIDENT FROM RELEASING EVIDENCE -- THAT HE ILLEGALLY TRIED TO OVERTURN --. IN A TRIAL ABOUT FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS THEY SEEK TO RESTRICT HIS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. THEY WOULD WANT TO ALLOW HIM TO MAKE SOME TRANSCRIPTS PUBLIC. BUT, THIS COULD HAVE A CHILLING AND HARMFUL AFFECT ON WITNESSES. WHEN MR. TRUMP WENT INTO COURT HE WAS WARNED THAT IT IS A CRIME TO TRY TO INFLUENCE A JUROR OR BRIBE ANYONE. THE SPECIAL COUNSEL -- AND A KEY FIGURE IN THIS CASE, MIKE PENCE. THE EVEN CITED THIS POST. IT IS FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT THAT SAYS, IF YOU GO AFTER ME I AM COMING AFTER YOU. >> ONE MORE INDICTMENT AND THIS ELECTION IS CLOSED OUT. NOBODY EVEN HAS A CHANCE. >> Reporter: HE IS TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS GOING DOWN IN GEORGIA. IF THAT HAPPENS IT WILL LEAD TO HIS FOURTH ARREST IN FOUR MONTHS. LET'S GO TO KEN DELANEY. WE HAVE THIS PROPOSAL FOR A MORE NARROW PROTECTIVE ORDER. WHAT CHANGES ARE HIS TEAM ASKING FOR? >> THE SPECIAL COUNSEL HAS TO TURN OVER ALL OF THE TRANSCRIPTS OF THE INTERVIEWS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF WITNESSES AND MANY ARE NOT HOUSEHOLD NAMES. CAN INCLUDE CREDIT CARD BILLS AND CELL PHONE BILLS. THE COULD ALL GO TO PRESIDENT TRUMP. WHAT TRUMP IS ASKING FOR IS PERMISSION TO MAKE SOME OF THIS PUBLIC AND IN A KEY CHANGE, THEY ARE SUBMITTING CHANGES IN RED. THERE IS A LINE WHERE THIS SPECIAL COUNSEL PREVENTS TRANSCRIPTS AND RELATED INTERVIEWS. THEY ARE LOOKING AT INFORMATION REGARDING CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES OR ANYTHING THAT COULD JEOPARDIZE SECURITY BUT WHO WILL REFEREE? DOES THIS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THE JUDGE? THAT COULD BE HOURS AND HOURS OF --. IT IS NOTHING THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN ANY OTHER CASE BEFORE. >> YOU SAY YOU HAVE NEVER EEN A JUDGE ISSUED A WARNING LIKE THIS JUDGE DID. THERE WERE SOME ABNORMAL WARNINGS? >> YES. THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE MADE A POINT OF SAYING IT IS A CRIME TO TAMPER WITH WITNESSES AND JURORS AND THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT NORMALLY IS STATED SO THIS CLOSET CASE IS BEING TREATED IN A DIFFERENT WAY. >> SO WILL THIS COMPLETELY STOP THE FORMER PRESIDENT FROM POSTING ON TRUE SOCIAL? >> THIS IS ABOUT PREVENTING HIM FROM TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT THAT -- THERE ARE RULES ABOUT WHAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT THE CASE. IN THE CASE OF ROGER STONE, WHEN HE WAS ON TRIAL IN WASHINGTON, D.C. A JUDGE DID ISSUE A GAG ORDER TO PREVENT HIM FROM TALKING ABOUT THE CASE BUT THAT WOULD BE HER TO DO WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP. WE WILL HAVE TO SEE THOUGH. >> IN THE LAST HOUR WE ARE LEARNING THAT THE FORMER NYPD COMMISSIONER MET WITH THE COUNCIL TODAY. HOW DOES HE FIT INTO THIS CASE? >> HE WAS AN INVESTIGATOR WORKING ON BEHALF OF RUDY GIULIANI WHO IS CALLED CONSPIRATOR NUMBER ONE. HE WAS GOING AROUND MAKING BOGUS ALLEGATIONS AND MR. CARRICK HELPED HIM GATHER MATERIALS. PROSECUTORS WANT TO KNOW WHAT THESE ARE BASED ON. HE TURNED OVER HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF DOCUMENTS AND IT SHOWS THAT PROSECUTORS CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE EVEN AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN INDICTED FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. >> I WANT TO PLAY A LITTLE BIT FROM ONE OF HIS FORMER ATTORNEYS. >> A TECHNICAL VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL LAW. TO SAY THAT IS CONTRARY. >> ALL RIGHT. BUT, THIS IS A LEGAL STATUTE. >> YOU ARE SPEAKING WITH LEGAL EXPERTS AND THEY HEAR THAT LINE OF DEFENSE, WHAT ARE THEY TELLING YOU? COULD THIS WORK? >> THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT A CRIMINAL CODE. BUT THEY ALSO ASKED HIM TO VIOLATE AND DO SOMETHING HE DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO AND SUMMER ARE SAYING HE WAS TRYING TO SUBVERT THE LAW. HE MADE SOME OTHER POINTS AND THEY SAID ALL OF HIS ACTIVITIES WERE PROTECTED AND THAT HE WAS IMMUNE BECAUSE HE WAS ACTING AS PRESIDENT. THESE ARE PLAUSIBLE DEFENSES WITH DEEP FLAWS AND WILL BE MITIGATED. >> KEN, THANK YOU. >>> TURNING TO THE WEATHER. A MAJOR STORM IS MOVING THROUGH THE DC AREA. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK AT CAPITOL HILL. YOU CAN SEE THESE CLOUDS HANGING AROUND. THIS IS PUTTING 85 MILLION PEOPLE AT RISK FROM MISSISSIPPI THROUGH NEW YORK. WE COULD SEE 70 MILES PER HOUR WINDS AS WELL AS HAIL AND TORNADOES. THIS HAIL IS JUST PUMMELING A SPOT IN WEST VIRGINIA. HEAVY RAIN COULD CAUSE FLOODING BECAUSE IN MANY AREAS THE GROUND IS ALREADY WET. GROUND STOPS ARE IN PLACE AT MANY AIRPORTS. WE HAVE DANA GRIFFIN IN PHOENIX. GEORGE, WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE BE EXPECTING FROM THESE STORMS? AS >> Reporter: WE ARE EXPECTING HEAVY RAIN. WE EXPECT THE WATCH TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND THE GROUND IS ALREADY SATURATED. 430,000 PEOPLE ARE WITHOUT POWER IN THE SOUTH AT THIS POINT. THERE IS LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING AND BASEBALL -SIZED HAIL AS WELL AS DESTRUCTIVE WINDS. THIS SYSTEM PUMMELED THE MIDWEST OVER THE WEEKEND. OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ON THE COAST. WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAMS MOBILIZING. PEOPLE KNOW THAT THESE STORMS ARE NO JOKE. AS WE LOOK HERE THE WEATHER IS GOING FROM BAD TO WORSE. AS I MENTIONED WE ARE UNDER EIGHT TORNADO WATCH RIGHT NOW AND THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE EVENING. >> GEORGE, WE ARE MONITORING A DEADLY CRASH ON THE FREEWAY NEAR WHERE YOU ARE AND THAT IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. THEY ARE LOOKING INTO IF THERE ARE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS HERE? >> YES. STAY POLICE BELIEVE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FACTOR BUT THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS AS WELL. WE CAN REPORT THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL AND SOME ARE RECOVERING FROM THIS. THIS CAR HIT AN EMBANKMENT. THERE WAS -- EARLIER TODAY. WE HEARD FROM A SURVIVOR OF THE CRASH AND IT WAS JUST HARROWING. >> GEORGE, THANK YOU. YOU AND YOUR TEAM STAY SAFE. >>> NOW LET'S GO TO DANA GRIFFIN IN PFENNING AS ON PHOENIX ON THE HEAT. WHAT ARE PEOPLE DOING TO KEEP KIDS SAFE THERE AFTER AN ABNORMALLY LONG AND INTENSE HEAT WAVE THERE? >> Reporter: IT IS GETTING HOTTER BY THE HOUR. NOW TRIPLE DIGITS. I CAN SEE SOME IN A THE DISTANCE UNDERNEATH THE SHADE AS PARENTS COME TO PICK HIM UP. EVEN ON HOT DAYS LIKE THIS KID STILL GO OUT TO PLAY BUT THEY HAVE AWNINGS ON THE PLAYGROUND SO KIDS CAN BE PROTECT DID. THE YEAR DOING WHATEVER THEY CAN TO MITIGATE THE HEAT INDEX. WHILE STUDENTS ARE IN CLASS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T GET OVERHEATED. THEY ARE DRINKING A LOT OF WATER AND TRYING TO STAY INDOORS. OUTSIDE, EVEN THE PRINCIPLE IS KEEPING A CLOSE EYE. >> I AM WATCHING TO MAKE SURE STUDENTS ARE NOT GETTING TOO FLUSH AND THEY ARE NOT GETTING DISTRESSED. >> Reporter: THEY CAN UTILIZE THE GYMNASIUM AND THEY HAVE CLASSES AND PROGRAMS TO KEEP KIDS ENTERTAINED IN SCHOOLS. THEY FOCUS ON SIDES, ENGINEERING, AND MATH TO STIMULATE THEIR MINDS ON THE DAYS THEY CANNOT GO OUTSIDE. SOMETIMES THE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE IS 130 DEGREES. IF IT IS TOO -- OR RATHER CUT IF IT IS HOT ENOUGH TO COOK A CHICKEN IT IS TOO HOT FOR KIDS TO GO OUTSIDE. IT IS HOT AND THAT IS SOMETHING THEY NEED TO GET USED TO. WE CAN HAVE TEMPERATURES HERE WITH SEVERAL DAYS OF TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES. >> IT IS IT DEFINITELY TOO HOT TO BE OUTSIDE THEIR. THANK YOU, DANA GRIFFIN. >>> NOW TO THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. RON DESANTIS MADE HIS MOST EXPLICIT BREAK YET FROM TRUMP. HE'S TRYING TO SETTLE THE MATTER OF WHO WON THE 2020 ELECTION. IT'S BACK YES OR NO DID HE WON THE ELECTION? >> WHOEVER PUTS THEIR HAND ON THE BIBLE EVERY FOUR YEARS WINS THE ELECTION. >> RESPECTFULLY YOU DID NOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION. HOW CAN -- >> OF COURSE -- >> TRUMP LOST THE 2020 ELECTION. >> JOE BIDEN IS THE PRESIDENT. >> THIS COMES AS DESANTIS IS BEHIND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. LET'S GO TO JOSH IN CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA. SO, SHOULD WE READ THIS AS A CAMPAIGN SHIFT? >> THIS IS THE STRONGEST LANGUAGE HE HAS USED WHEN IT COMES TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT HE IS A HONING IN ON HIS FORMER MESSAGE WHEN IT COMES TO THE FUTURE OF THE PRIMARY AND SAYING, IF WE FOCUS ON JANUARY 2021 WE WILL LOSE. BUT IF WE ARE FOCUSED ON JANUARY 2025, WE WILL WON. AT THE SAME TIME HE IS STILL TAKING ISSUE AND WALKING THE FINE LINE THAT A LOT OF REPUBLICANS ARE WALKING WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT HAPPENED IN 2020. >> I THINK WHAT PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA AND ELSEWHERE WANT TO SAY, THEY WANT TO ACT LIKE THIS IS THE PERFECT ELECTION. I ALSO THINK THAT REPUBLICANS DID NOT FIGHT BACK. YOU HAVE GOT TO FIGHT BACK WHEN THAT IS HAPPENING. >> Reporter: HE STARTED A NEW OF ATTACK ON THE FORMER PRESIDENT SAYING THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTION THAT HE COMPLAINS ABOUT, THEY ARE PROBLEMS OF HIS OWN MAKING. ALISON. >> HE SPOKE WITH YOU ABOUT ABORTION AND THE STANCE OF ANTIABORTION GROUPS. TELL US ABOUT THAT. >> Reporter: HE IS TRYING TO WALK THE FINE LINE ON THIS ISSUE BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY HE IS IMPLYING THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE STATE-BY-STATE. LET'S LISTEN TO THIS PART OF THE CONVERSATION. >> SO, YOU THINK THIS SHOULD BE DEALT WITH ON A STATE-BY-STATE BASIS? >> I AM PRO-LIFE. JUST LIKE THEY HAD BEEN IN A NORTH CAROLINA. I THINK THE REALITY IS THAT BASICALLY MEANS THAT THE STATE'S WILL HAVE PRIMARY CONTROL OVER IT. >> ALSO, ALISON, THE MESSAGING DOES TEND TO -- WHETHER HE IS CAMPAIGNING IN THE STATE OF IOWA OR NEW HAMPSHIRE. IN IOWA THEY HAVE A SIMILAR POLICY IN PLACE. IN FLORIDA, --. BUT WHEN HE GOES TO NEW HAMPSHIRE HE DOES NOT TALK ABOUT THAT. WHEN IT COMES TO THE NATIONAL LEVEL AND THE ACTIONS HE MAY OR MAY NOT TAKE, HE WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THAT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ANTIABORTION GROUPS ARE NOT HAPPY WITH. ALISON. >> THANK YOU, TOSHA. YOU CAN SEE MORE OF HER INTERVIEW TONIGHT ON THE NEWS WITH LESTER HOLT AT 6:30 PM. STRIKE YOUR CURRY OFFICIALS HAVE ARRESTED A WOMAN WHO WAS PART OF A CAMPAIGN AGAINST PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY. THE WOMAN HAS NOT BEEN NAMED BUT UKRAINIAN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS SAY SHE WAS CAUGHT "RED-HANDED" AS SHE WAS DELIVERING INFORMATION TO THE RUSSIANS. THE ALLEGATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN CONFIRMED. MATT BRADLEY JOINS US NOW. NOW, PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY TRAVELS A LOT. HOW VULNERABLE IS HE TO ATTACK AND WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN ARRESTED? >> Reporter: HE IS INCREDIBLY VULNERABLE. HE GOES MULTIPLE PLACES. HE GOES TO PLACES LIKE THE FRONT LINES OF ONE OF THE MOST BLISTERING BATTLES OF THE 20th CENTURY SO HE PUTS HIMSELF IN THE LINE OF FIRE. IT SOUNDS FOOLISH BUT, THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS FOR HIS POPULARITY IN UKRAINE. HE ALSO VENTURES OUT TO THE FRONT LINES AND HE REPEATEDLY DOES THAT. IT IS AMAZING THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME OR SOMETHING THAT WE ARE JUST HEARING ABOUT. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS. AFTER THE RUSSIANS MADE THAT BOLD PLAY AGAINST KYIV. WE HEARD FROM MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES THAT HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE THE CENTER TO KYIV. WHEN I HAVE BEEN THERE, IT LOOKS LIKE A PLACE THAT IS PREPARED TO DEFEND ITSELF TO THE LAST MAN. THIS IS A PLACE WHERE THEY ARE ANTICIPATING THERE WILL BE OPPORTUNITIES WILL MAKE A PLAY ON THE LIFE OF --. FROM WHAT WE HAVE HEARD, ALL OF THIS IS FROM UKRAINE INTELLIGENCE. NBC HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM ANY OF THIS. THERE ARE ALIKE TRONIC WARFARE CENTERS. -- WERE THEY TO LAUNCH SOME SORT OF -- AND THAT REALLY IS A VERY CONTESTED AREA. >> SO, SHE HAS NOT BEEN ARRESTED. HAS SHE BEEN DETAINED? >> SHE HAS BEEN -- SHE HAS NOT BEEN ARRESTED BUT SHE HAS BEEN DETAINED. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT MORE AND ALL OF THIS HAPPENED LAST MONTH. THEY HELD THIS INFORMATION AND THEY WANTED TO BRING OUT THE SPIES FROM THE RUSSIAN SIDE TO TRY TO INTRODUCE THEM. >> WE ARE LEARNING TONIGHT THAT THE U.S. NAVY SENT DESTROYERS TO THE COAST OF ALASKA LAST WEEK AFTER 11 CHINESE WARSHIPS WERE --. WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW ABOUT THAT? IS THAT SIGNIFICANT? >> THEY SAID THAT ACCORDING TO HISTORIANS THIS IS A FIRST. THERE WERE CHINESE AND RUSSIAN SHIPS THAT MADE THEIR WAY TOWARDS THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS. SOME ANALYSTS ARE RATHER TIMID AND THAT IS WHY THEY PUT OUT THESE DESTROYERS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IF YOU WERE TO ASK THE RUSSIANS OR THE CHINESE THEY WOULD TELL YOU THIS IS JUST TOO FOR CAT. THEY SAID THAT ALLIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, THEY ENGAGE IN MILITARY EXERCISES ALL OF THE TIME AND THEY WOULD TELL YOU THAT FOR THE U.S. TO CHRIS'S CRITICIZE THIS WOULD BE HYPOCRISY AND THEY WOULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT REASON. >> WE APPRECIATE YOUR REPORTING AND ALL OF THE CONTENT. >>> A FORMER MINNEAPOLIS POLICE OFFICER THAT HELD BACK WHEN GEORGE FLOYD WAS MURDERED HAS BEEN --. THIS IS HIS MUG SHOT AND HE HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH AIDING AND ABETTING SECOND-DEGREE MANSLAUGHTER. HE PREVIOUSLY TESTIFIED THAT HE WAS HOLDING PEOPLE BACK AS THE FORMER OFFICER, DERRICK SHOW BEEN , KNEELED ON THE NECK OF GEORGE FLOYD. >> WE MUST GIVE AN ACCOUNT TODAY. HE DID NOT COMMIT THESE CRIMES. >> HE IS THE LAST OF THE OFFICERS TO BE SENTENCE FOR HIS ROLE IN THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD. THIS COMES OVER --. >> RASHAD, WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT TODAY. PROSECUTORS SAID, A FORMER OFFICER HAD A UNIQUE DEV AND HE ACTED AS A SHIELD. AS HE HAD HIS KNEE ON THE NECK OF GEORGE FLOYD FOR NINE MINUTES. HE MADE FUN OF HIM AND DID NOT RENDER THE A THAT HE WAS TRAINED TO DO. THIS IS WHAT WE HEARD FROM A JUDGE AS HE EXPLAINED WHY HE GAVE THAT SENTENCE? >> I WAS HOPING FOR A BIT MORE REMORSE AND REGRET. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HIS RESPONSIBILITY. AND, LESS PREACHING. >> THIS INVOLVES CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS. YOU CAN SEE HER RANGE OF SENTENCES GOING UP TO 22 1/2 YEARS. NOW JUST THREE YEARS FROM ONE OF THE ROOKIE OFFICERS INVOLVED. >> SO, A THREE AND HALF YEAR FEDERAL SENTENCE. THE SENTENCE THAT HE GOT TODAY MAY NOT AMOUNT TO MUCH BUT WILL THAT RUN CONCURRENTLY? WHAT WILL HAPPEN? >> TO GET A SENSE OF HOW MUCH -- HE IS CURRENTLY SERVING A 32 MONTH --. HE WILL SERVE ABOUT 35.7 MONTHS. WHEN YOU LOOK HERE, THIS WAS A 57 MONTH SENTENCE. AND HE ONLY SERVED ABOUT 32% OF THAT BEHIND BARS BUT HE WILL BE BEHIND BARS FOR ABOUT 37 MONTHS. >> THANK YOU, CHUCK BREWSTER. >>> A BIG TRUCKING COMPANY GOT A HUGE BAILOUT IS NOW DECLARING BANKRUPTCY. WE TELL YOU ABOUT THE MONEY HE STILL OWES. >>> AND WE TELL YOU ABOUT THE BEYO. >>> -- HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH MORE THAN -- INFANT DEATHS. THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION IS WORKING ON A PROPOSAL TO MAKE THE PILLOWS SAFER. THE HORSESHOE SHAPED CUSHIONS ARE A MUST HAVE TOOL FOR YOUNG MOMS AND THEY ARE SAFE IF USED AS INTENDED TO SUPPORT INFANTS WHEN HER MOM IS BREAST-FEEDING OR BOTTLE FEEDING. DATA SHOWS THAT SOME BABIES SLUMPED DOWN OR ARCHED BACKWARDS AND BUT WILL CONSTRICT THEIR AIRWAYS. SOME TURNED THEIR FACES INTO THE PILLOW. ELIZABETH, THESE PILLOWS ARE POPULAR WITH MORE THAN 1 MILLION SOLD EVERY YEAR. FOR THOSE THAT ARE JUST SEEING THIS, AND WONDERING WHAT THEY NEED TO KNOW, BREAK DOWN FOR US WHAT IS IMPORTANT. ALSO FOR ANY NEW MOMS OR SYMPHONY SOMEBODY IN THE MARKET FOR THESE, WHAT DO THEY NEED TO KNOW? >> I SPOKE WITH NUMEROUS GRIEVING PARENTS THAT SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA THAT A PILLOW DESIGNED FOR INFANTS COULD BE SO DANGEROUS. ONE MOTHER PROPPED UP HER 19 DAY-OLD SON AND SHE THOUGHT THAT THE ELEVATED POSITION WOULD HELP HIM BREATHE BETTER. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS TO KNOW THAT THESE PILLOWS ARE DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR FEEDING. SOMETIMES THEY ARE USED FOR TUMMY TIME OR PRACTICING OTHER SKILLS BUT THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO FOR SLEEPING. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS DO NOT LEAVE THEM FOR THAT. THE -- HAS KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME THAT THIS PRODUCT IS DANGEROUS WHEN IT COMES TO ALLOWING INFANTS TO SLEEP ON IT BUT THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN MUCH ACTION AGAINST IT AND THEY ARE EXPECTED TO UNVEIL WAYS TO MAKE THIS PRODUCT MORE SAFELY. THE MOST ACTION THEY HAVE TAKEN WAS IN 2020 WHEN THEY ISSUED A WARNING TO PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS. WE KNOW FROM THE INVESTIGATION THIS WAS NOT EFFECT OF AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DEATHS THAT HAVE OCCURRED SINCE THAT TIME. >> DO WE KNOW WHY THE THE PRODUCTS SAFETY COMMISSION IS ACTING NOW? >> THIS IS SOMEWHAT COMPLICATED. A COUPLE OF DECADES AGO THEY TRIED TO BAN A PARTICULAR HELLO BUT NOT BECAUSE IT WAS IN NURSING PILLOW. IT WAS BECAUSE OF WHAT IT CONTAINED. IT HAD PLASTICS IN IT. THERE WERE OTHER WARNINGS AGAINST PILLOWS AND CUSHIONS THAT CONTAINED THE PLASTIC BEADS. SINCE THEN THERE HAS NOT BEEN FURTHER ACTION. WHEN RUMBLINGS BEGAN THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME PLANS TO MAKE THE PRODUCTS SAFER, THERE WAS PUSHBACK FROM AN ALLIANCE THAT SUPPORTS TO BREAST-FEEDING. THEY ARE SAYING THAT SHOULD THERE BE FEDERAL REGULATION OF THIS, THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN ARE BEING GUARDED AND -- IS NEXT ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK. THEY DENY THERE IS A BAN ALL OUT ON THIS SO THAT IS NOT REALLY A CONCERN BUT WHAT THEY COULD DO IS MAKE SPECIFICATIONS AS TO HOW THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE DESIGNED. AND THAT COULD BE PROBLEMATIC. >> WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS THERE WERE AT LEAST 162 INFANT DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE LOWS SINCE 2007 AND THAT NUMBER IS DAUNTING. BUT THOSE NUMBERS COULD ACTUALLY BE HIGHER? >> WHAT IS SIGNIFICANT, WE LOOK AT ALL SORTS OF PUBLIC RECORDS. WE LOOKED AT MEDICAL EXAMINER REPORTS AND FEDERAL DATA BUT UNFORTUNATELY, ON AUTOPSY REPORTS, PRODUCT INFORMATION IS NOT ALWAYS --. THERE WERE OTHER FATALITIES THAT WE JUST NOT DID NOT COME ACROSS. >> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO US. WE APPRECIATE YOUR WORK. >>> YOU CAN SEE THE HEADLINE AND YOU CAN READ THE FULL REPORT RIGHT NOW ON NBCNEWSNOW.COM. >>> NOW LET'S GO TO THE THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW TONIGHT. TWO HELICOPTERS COLLIDED WHILE RESPONDING TO A FIRE IN CALIFORNIA. ONE CHOPPER LANDED SAFELY BUT THE EVERYONE THE OTHER ONE CRASHED TO THE GROUND KILLING EVERYBODY ON BOARD. THE NTSB IS LOOKING INTO WHAT CAUSED THE COLLISION. >>> IT TORY LANE IS BEING SENDS TODAY FOR SHOOTING MEGAN THE STALLION.

YELLOW IS FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY. THEY BLAME IT ON THE TEAMSTERS FOR DRIVING THE COMPANY OUT OF BUSINESS. THEY PULLED IN A $700 MILLION LOAN FROM THE C.A.R.E.S. ACT ACT. AT LEAST 30,000 PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO LOSE THEIR JOBS. WE BRING YOU MORE. YELLOW IS ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL -- AND THAT LOAN IS ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL.

WE KNOW THAT YELLOW, THE THIRD LARGEST TRUCKER OF ITS CATEGOR , IF YOU NEED TO FILL NOT TO AN ENTIRE SHIPPING CONTAINER, THEY ARE YOUR ROCK-BOTTOM COMPANY. THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE CONTINUES, TO THIS DAY, THEY PAID ABOUT $54 MILLION IN INTEREST TO THE GOVERNMENT BUT, THEY HAVE ONLY PAID $230. LITERALLY $230 ON THE PRINCIPLE HAS BEEN REPAID. NOT $230 MILLION. IN 2022 DEMOCRATS PUT OUT A REPORT THAT FOUND WHAT THEY CALLED IMPROPER DEALINGS IN THE AWARDING OF A $700 MILLION LOAN TO THE C.A.R.E.S. ACT TO YELLOW. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND OTHERS -- AND SUMTER -- SAID THEY RISK HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF FUNDING AND THEY DISREGARDED -- AND TAXPAYERS. WALL STREET AGREES WITH HIM AND ANALYSTS ARE POINTING OUT THAT -- HAS GONE TO CREDITORS AGAIN AND AGAIN.

THERE WAS PUNCHING, SHOVING, AND KICKING. >> I THINK WE ARE JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT TOOK PLACE. >> WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED? >> IT IS VERY SHOCKING VIDEO. AT THIS HOUR INVESTIGATORS SAY THEY ARE REVIEWING VIDEO OF THIS INCIDENT AND THERE COULD BE MORE ARREST WARRANTS COMING BUT WE KNOW THAT INVESTIGATORS HAVE ISSUED FOUR ARREST WARRANTS SO FAR BUT NONE HAVE BEEN MADE. RIVERBOAT CRUISE SAY THEY REPEATEDLY ASKED THE OWNER OF THE PONTOON TO MOVE. VERY QUICKLY, WITNESSES SAY, THE PONTOON OWNER CAME DOWN AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. THEN A MAN SHOVED A WORKER. I WANT TO PLAY A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT RIVERBOAT. >> WE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT DID NOT HAVE TO TURN INTO A BRAWL. ALL OF US ARE FEELING THIS. >> WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT IS ONCE THE RIVERBOAT DOCS, YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE RUNNING OVER THE PONTOON. THEN WE SEE THE FIGHTING ERUPTING. THERE ARE MORE THAN A DOZEN PEOPLE INVOLVED. YOU CAN SEE SOMEONE BEING HIT. THOSE THAT SHOW VIOLENCE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE ON THIS. THIS WAS A BACK WORK BLACK WORKER POLICE WERE ASKED TODAY IF THEY ARE REVIEWING THIS AS A RACIALLY CHARGED INCIDENT. BUT THEY DO CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE. ALISON. >> COMING UP, SOUTH KOREA IS GETTING READY TO IN EVACUATE A GROUP OF TEENAGERS AS A TYPHOON HEADS TOWARDS THEIR WEBSITE. >>> AND AN EXPLOSION OF A EVER PLAYLIST, TOM YUM IS. >>> IN SOUTH KOREA, THEY ARE TRYING TO EVICT TWO ENCAMPMENTS AS A TYPHOON COMES. SOUTH KOREAN OFFICIALS SAY THAT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL BE MOVED FROM THIS SITE. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF HARMS WAY. THIS JUST AFTER HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF LEFT THE EVENT EARLY BECAUSE OF THE HEAT WAVE. >> Reporter: THE EVENT WAS PLAGUED BY SETBACKS BECAUSE OF A HEAT WAVE IN SOUTH KOREA THEN, WARNINGS ABOUT A TYPHOON WORD TOO MUCH. THEY ARE SAID TO EVACUATE PARTICIPANTS EARLY AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION. NOW 43,000 PARTICIPANTS ARE GOING TO OTHER REGIONS AND THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO HOLD SOME EVENTS. THIS EVENT HAPPENS ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS AND A LOT OF THESE GROUPS FUND RAISE TO PAY THEIR OWN WAY. >> THIS IS NOT A NORMAL JAMBOREE EXPERIENCE. >> Reporter: IT STARTED PRETTY MUCH AS SOON AS THE JAMBOREE DID WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE SWELTERING. AT LEAST 138 PEOPLE WERE HOSPITALIZED FOR HEAT EXHAUSTION AND THERE WERE COMPLAINTS OF NO SHADE AND NOT ENOUGH WATER OR FOOD., AND INADEQUATE MEDICAL SERVICES HERE MANY MOVE TO HOTELS AND THEN THE U.S. DELEGATION WAS NOT THAT FAR BEHIND. THEY MOVED TO CAMP HUMPHREY, A NEARBY U.S. MILITARY BASE. THERE IS PRESSURE TO GET WATER, AIR CONDITIONING UNITS, AND MORE FOOD AND THEN CAME THE WARNINGS ABOUT THE TYPHOON. IT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL ON THURSDAY AND THE DECISION TO CLEAR EVERYONE FROM THE CAMPSITE. BE PREPARED IS A MODEL FOR JACK FOR SCOUTS IS THE MOTTO BUT PEOPLE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN PREPARED FOR THESE EXTREME CONDITIONS. >> JANICE SCOTT THANK YOU. >>> NBC COVERS HUNDREDS OF INTERNATIONAL STORIES EVERYDAY AND BECAUSE YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY REVIEW ALL OF THEM, OUR FOREIGN DESK HAS DONE THAT FOR YOU. HERE WERE THINGS THEY ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON FOR YOU IN A SEGMENT WE LIKE TO CALL THE GLOBAL. >>> -- FLIPPED ALL THE WAY OVER TRAPPING PASSENGERS INSIDE. THEY ARE LOOKING AT WHAT CAUSED THE INCIDENT. IN TURKEY, A SECURITY CAMERA CAUGHT THE MOMENT AN EXPLOSION HAPPENED. 12 PEOPLE WERE HURT BECAUSE OF THIS AND THREE WERE SENT TO THE HOSPITAL. THE FIRE STARTED WHEN -- WAS BEING TRANSFERRED FROM A SHIP TO THE GROUND. >>> A PLANE WAS DELAYED FROM TAKING OFF AFTER A BEAR ESCAPED FROM ITS CRATE IN A CARGO HOLD ON AN UNITED EMIRATES AIRPLANE. THEY ARE LOOKING INTO HOW THIS HAPPENED. >>> AS AI BECOMES A PART OF OUR LIVES A NEW START UP IS USING THE TECH KNOWLEDGE HE. THEY ARE LOOKING AT A WAY TO MANAGE RECYCLING MATERIALS. THIS IS THE PROCESS IS MORE OFFICIAL THAN USING HUMANS. IT CAN TELL WHAT OBJECTS THAT CANNOT BE RECYCLED ARE AND WHAT KIND OF PACK EDGING THEY ARE. PACKAGING THEY ARE. >> IS IT A JUG OF THAI DETERGENT OR SOMETHING ELSE? IT HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT AND DIRTY JOB AT RECYCLING PLANTS BUT SOME COMPANIES ARE USING AI AND ROBOTICS TO SIMPLIFY, EXPEDITE AND IMPROVE THE PROCESS. >> THEY HAVE BEEN LOSING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE LANDFILL. THAT WE ARE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE VALUE OF THE LOSSES. AND CAPTURE THAT. >> Reporter: THEY PUT 3-D DEATH DEPTH CAMERAS AND THEY CAN IDENTIFY 200 ITEMS IN EACH FRAME. WITHIN 12 MILLISECONDS THE SOFTWARE CAN TELL WHAT THE OBJECTS ARE AND WHAT TYPE OF PACKAGING THEY ARE. >> WE GET DATA AROUND BRANDS. AND HOW MUCH OF THAT IS BEING -- AND HOW MUCH IS BEING SENT TO THE LANDFILL. >> Reporter: ROBOTIC ARMS RETRIEVE PACKAGING 3-4 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN HUMANS AND THAT IS A MAJOR COST SAVINGS. >> IF WE CAN REPLACE SOME OF THE POSITIONS WITH ROBOTS AND IN A COST-EFFECTIVE WAY, THAT IS HOW WE IMPROVE BUSINESS. >> Reporter: THERE ARE -- TOTAL FUNDING UP TO THIS DATE IS $24.6 MILLION. >> DIANA, FROM AN OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE IT SEEMS LIKE THIS WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TO IMPLEMENT. IS IT REALLY EFFECTIVE? >> IT REALLY IS. INCREASING THE RECOVERY OF RECYCLABLE ATOMS ITEMS IS THE IMPORTANT THING. WHEN YOU WEIGH OUT THE COST OF THE AI AND THE ROBOTIC ARMS, AI AND ROBOTICS WIN HANDS DOWN. THIS IS A SMELLY, DIRTY, AND DISGUSTING JOB IT IS TOUGH TO GET PEOPLE TO COME AND WORK IN THIS JOB. IT ALSO DOES QUALITY CONTROL. THIS AI AND SEE THAT THIS KETCHUP BOMORE PROFOUND. >> THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US. WE APPRECIATE IT. TRACK THAT IS A WRAP. IF YOU MISSED ANYTHING,
