morning

as rain, sleet and Snow Hits South With Frigid Temperatures to Follow From Texas to Tennessee More than 30 million people are under winter weather advisories, making for a treacherous morning commute.

We are tracking the last trace of this massive storm this morning as well. New developments in that deadly movie. Set filming involves actor Alec Baldwin later today. A New Mexico District Attorney is set to file formal charges against Baldwin and the initial gunsmith over the movie Rust, we'll delve into what happens next and Miracle in the Mountains will bring you an incredible, life-changing survival story this morning to a woman from Colorado. A 200 foot fall and the team of good Samaritans who intervened to save a stranger's life really is an incredible story, really, really, even seeing her with the neck brace, I absolutely know, we will tell you that later in this time we will begin this morning with the latest developments in the Tyree Nichols investigation, just this morning, there is more Fallout following the release of that graphic video and several videos last week showing the brutal beating of Nichols yesterday, the Memphis Police Department announced that two more officers have been relieved of duty, we know the name of One of those officers, Preston Hemphill, and Bill's attorney issued a statement yesterday saying that he was never present at the second scene and that he is cooperating with officials in this investigation and now the Memphis Fire Department says three of its employees who responded to Nichols' beating have been fired following an internal investigation, meanwhile last night his followers gathered to pray at a vigil at the intersection where Tyree was brutally beaten after a traffic stop.

His stepfather spoke about the pain the family is going through. No, my son died right here. I know my son. He was shouting my wife's name and we couldn't hear him. Devastated NBC News correspondent Ellison Barber joins us now from Memphis with the latest on the investigation. Good morning Ellison, so we should note that the last two officers who were relieved of duty were neither fired nor charged, what do we know about Preston and why did we just hear the police department say he was involved at this time? ? These two we only know the name of one of them, Officer Preston Himpel, the seventh officer, the reliever of duty has not yet been named at least publicly, although that is something that the lawyers for the families of Tyree Nichols, as well as the community activists, are asking.

In terms of this officer, Sixth Officer Preston Hemple, we know he was hired by the Memphis Police Department in 2018, the first body camera footage that was released Friday night was what was identified titled as video one of that moment where you see the officers first approach Tyree Nichols' car and pull him out, that video was from Preston Hemple's body camera footage, we know that because that's what the Memphis Police Department does . he has said, as well as his attorney, in terms of why we are now getting this name when NBC News spoke with a spokesperson for the Memphis Police Department yesterday, they said they did not publicly reveal his name when they released the names of the others. five officers because he had not been fired said they only revealed the names of the five who had been fired and also subsequently charged, but in the case of the six Preston Hemple officers and now it also appears that the seventh officer was not fired.

Rather, they were relieved of duty when NBC News asked them specifically whether Officer Himpel was on paid leave or not, the spokesperson did not specify, but in later statements they acknowledged that he was present at the first scene and that he also deployed a Taser. In saying this, Memphis Police Department Internal Affairs investigators prioritized interviewing officers and witnesses related to the second scene first, where the most egregious aspects of the incident occurred. They say again that he wasn't in that second scene, that's why they say. I guess in some people's opinion they have been a little slower in releasing this information and doing this research.

That said, they say that there could be additional charges and that we should not expect to see any more personnel movements in the coming days, but for many people in clay there is great frustration that this person was not identified sooner and I must point out that one of the main reasons Why her name really started to appear in the last 24 36 hours was because of the black women activists in the local community. who were on Twitter saying, hey, there's an officer's name in one of the initial affidavits mentioned and they say he used the Taser at the scene, why don't we know anything about this guy?

So from that, you had that group putting pressure on those activists. as well as some other local progressive outlets like Tennessee Hollard which later led to the Memphis Police Department publicly identifying this individual. Tyrese gives his family and his lawyers a nickel. They are calling for this officer to be fired immediately and say they want to see more transparency. from the Memphis Police Department and want all audio recordings released immediately. I mean really important details, Ellison, especially also about the community that presented that information. Ellison. I know we also know that the Memphis Fire Department fired three employees after an investigation into their actions.

That night, what were the findings of that investigation? Yeah, so they say these employees, two of them paramedics, one of them the driver of the fire department vehicle that initially arrived on scene, showed up and responded based on what the initial call was for. which was that an individual had been pepper sprayed. They say they relied on that initial information and the details and descriptions from officers on the scene rather than doing their own on-the-spot assessment of the patient. They say they essentially failed to follow their department's basic protocols. It took a long time for an ambulance to arrive at the scene and there have been questions about this.

More than 20 minutes passed after these three called an ambulance, but again they based all their movements, according to the fire department, only on the initial one. description of this individual being pepper sprayed when clearly what we've seen on the videos, what we know, happened after he had much more serious injuries that needed attention and he needed help much quicker than he got it zinc clay really important detail in a case that has everyone's attention Allison Barber, thank you very much a conversation about the death of Tyree Nichols came to the Capitol last night. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin is just one of many politicians who urged his colleagues to move forward on police reforms, saying in part, citing that it's time for members of the Senate to bridge our differences and pass reform police so that Tyree Nichols' death was not in vain Ali Vitale joins us now from Washington D.C on this Good morning Allie, so last night, of course, was not the first time that police reform has been debated in the

full

Senate; in fact, we've seen Senators Tim Scott and Cory Booker lead some bipartisan efforts around this issue in the past.

First I want to reproduce a little bit of what Tim Scott said last night. I take the issue of policing in America seriously, I want our agency to see it not as an issue of Republicans versus Democrats, but as good people standing in the gap elected to do a job. Ali, give us some context on what this typically looks like when it's a bipartisan effort here. What does this mean? What does it look like when we try to make police reform a bipartisan issue? Well, Savannah, we know what it was like because we watched these conversations come together and then fall apart in the fall of 2021, not long ago, and they were between Senator Tim Scott on the Republican side, who you saw on your screen right there, and the Senator Cory Booker, leader of the Democratic side, one of the top senators in the Senate, Senator Dick Durbin yesterday urged these legislators to return to the negotiating table and see if they could find common ground or, as the Democrats in the House want White, if there is a way they can push forward the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act that had previously passed the Democrat-controlled House but stalled in the Senate due to ongoing negotiations.

Optimism that this will actually come to fruition, albeit in Savannah, is pretty low, especially because even if these two sides in the Senate were to return to the negotiating table, the realities of the House have changed a lot. Republicans now control that chamber and there is no clamor for action there. Ali, I want to ask you about a couple more pieces of

news

. First, we are seeing pressure from both sides of the aisle to call a briefing on the various classified document cases that have emerged recently. Do we think that's something that could actually happen soon, well look, they're trying and it's not just Republicans on the Senate side, it's Republicans and Democrats alike.

We've seen the Senate Intel committee marching in unison this past week. They had a briefing with the Director of National Intelligence. Nobody. They were happy coming out of that briefing, they felt like they were being blocked by Senator Rubio's words, he said that the Department of Justice was giving them the Heisman because the Director of National Intelligence said that while the investigations by the special counsel of the Department of Justice continue Justice, they're going to be pretty paralyzed in terms of what they can share, that's not an acceptable response for either party in the Senate on this, so we're seeing them continue to move forward trying to talk to the Department of Justice trying to say that this is their job as The Intel committee should have an idea of ​​what is in these documents, not only in the Trump case, although they have been asking for so long, but also in the cases of President Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence Ali quickly and before letting you go.

The debt ceiling is another hot topic. The president is expected to meet with President McCarthy tomorrow. He had a hot topic. The debt ceiling. I never thought he would say that. Do you think we will get any concrete results from this meeting? Ally, look, it's a start and yes, this could. be the thing that makes all Americans think the debt ceiling is as important as it is. I don't know if we'll ever make the debt ceiling attractive, but this is something that could have truly catastrophic results for the American economy if the U.S. defaulted on its debt, this has never happened before and that's why we are seeing these negotiations begin so early.

This probably won't become a real flashpoint until June, that's the date the Treasury Department has put on the map for its so-called x-state when they would basically stop being able to pay their bills. We're seeing Congress come together and try to start these negotiations at an early point, but here's what the Savannah Democrats in the White House are saying: This should not be a negotiation and then on the Republican side you'll see President McCarthy leading the negotiation dynamic because it is your house, your conference, that is going to be more difficult to negotiate to reach an agreement than on the Senate side, and Mitch McConnell has Basically, I also said it in the last few days, Ali, we are going to have to see if they raise the roof.

You know what I'm saying. Thank you so much. See you soon. I love it. Now millions of Americans are preparing for a dangerous situation. storm that will bring a triple threat of freezing snow and sleet to states from Texas to West Virginia. So far, 48 million people are under winter weather alerts for this storm and states like Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas are already feeling its impact, according to the National Weather Service. These severe conditions could cause chaos on the roads. Our meteorologist Angie Lastman keeps us up to date with the latest weather developments, but first let's go to Maggie Vespa, who is live in the windy city for us this morning.

Maggie, good morning. So what is the situation where you are? How are conditions in Chicago Savannah? Simply put, it is physically painful to be out here and the testhere our thermometer is at - two degrees this morning - two degrees below zero there with the wind chill feels like - seven - eight, so being here is definitely treacherous, although we have done it because Chicagoans are different races seeing people jogging in this weather, so go figure, but yeah, it's really bottoming out here in that sub-zero territory and you definitely know dangerous things for the roads and you know the typical warnings that we tend to give as the system goes through Savannah and Maggie country, it's zinc clay here, it sounds treacherous just when you're describing this climate.

I know the officials are too. saying it may be the coldest temperatures since Christmas The National Weather Service says highs are in the 16 degree range, which sounds a little painful, so how much colder do we expect it to get? Will there be areas where people can go to protect themselves from the cold? fortunately guys, fortunately this appears to be about where it's bottoming out here in Chicago, these overnight lows that are dropping just below zero again, both negatives. I'll just keep this up for more street cred. Uh, the city of Chicago has a well-oiled business. machine to take people to warm shelters, especially those who are homeless and that kind of thing, and those warnings are everywhere in the area, but you know that a lot of people could be caught off guard by these kids going to the school, people going to work, officials just ask them to check the forecast before they leave because like you said this is definitely treacherous and painful if we get stuck in this somehow guys oh Maggie I just hate listening to you to say it's painful to be out there and we're like, please continue to stand there while I keep asking you questions, but the last one, I promise this cold front is expected to end. lasts until tomorrow but then I know it's coming back over the weekend, how is the city going to deal with this extreme weather for this extended period?

Yes, we have a little break in the middle. I know we have our forecast coming soon. but I bet you know that here in the Midwest there seems to be a little bit of a respite in the Midwest, where temperatures will go up into the 30s, even 40 degrees and then they'll drop back down to 10 degrees, and you know again that They have the alerts they are asking people to take it easy, check the forecast, get into the warm shelters if you need to, but guys, I mean, truth be told, this is Chicago, you know the people in Chicago, Minneapolis, these are like hardened Midwestern cities, they've been.

We've been through this before, we've had a number of runners, I can't imagine being behind our camera crew all morning, so people are prepared and used to this, but it's still definitely worth warming up those mornings, Guys, I mean, you won't. Catch me running after a camera crew even when it's sunny, so don't kid me, that's awesome. Maggie, you haven't been there long, but it seems like you're used to that city. You look, you look totally calm out there. right, Maggie, come on in, thank you, thank you, thank you, literally, relax, well, it's not Chicago. 36 million people are under winter alerts this morning for more information.

Let's take a look at your Morning News Now. The weather, of course, means Andrew Lastman joins us. Hi Angie Hi guys, yes Maggie is absolutely right, millions of people are dealing with this bitter cold and not to mention the winter mix making the roads very difficult so let's start with the winter alerts. 35 million people are included in this place. If you see the bright purple color, pay special attention to that because those are ice storm warnings that have been in effect for places like Little Rock and Memphis and this is why you see the winter mix working, you're probably going to see something. of ice accumulation over the next few days. here as we watch multiple rounds of rain, snow and sleet move across basically parts of the south over the next 48 hours, here's how it plays out, this front continues to bring in colder air, we also see more moisture developing along it in the warmest part.

As you look at it, you'll notice that it's raining, but a little further north where we see the colder air, it's a mix of freezing rain and of course snow as well, so we'll have multiple impacts when it comes to this. ice accumulation as well as flooding concerns and you can see that flooding will likely last in southern locations as we get into Wednesday and even Thursday as the heavy rain continues so let's talk about ice accumulation which looks like the higher The amount of about a quarter of an inch, maybe even a half inch, focuses on places like Texas, especially central Texas, Waco Austin, all included in that, where we can see some of those higher amounts , but again, we could see up to half an inch. of ice buildup on the roads this means damage to the trees it means problems with the power lines it means the roads are going to be very difficult and I want you to pay special attention to the bridges, especially if you are in these areas that you are going to deal with some freezing rain over the next few days we know that the ground, of course, prevents it, prevents the ground from cooling as quickly as the air temperature, but watch what happens with this air flowing under the bridge, it quickly accelerates it. drop in temperature and that means we often see icing on bridges first, that's why you see those signs leading to the bridge, so be careful, we saw multiple reports of that in parts of Texas yesterday and we'll probably see more. of that here in the next few days are the rainfall amounts in Jackson Mississippi Shreveport all included in those places where we could see the highest totals and notice parts of Texas and Louisiana we have a good chance we could see some flooding concerns there again, Shreveport. included in that extending into Tyler, that's where we have the best chance of flooding concerns at least into tomorrow and even into Thursday.

Now, with the cold, 19 million people affected by these wind chill alerts, this will be something we deal with. Again until tomorrow, those are the alerts that are active right now and you can see why minus five for what it's like in Omaha right now minus 10 for Bismarck 34 down for the wind chill in Duluth is a day where either you stay inside or you have multiple layers even if you are in places like Little Rock and St Louis we are talking teenagers as we approach the afternoon hours today Shreveport ends up with just 39 degrees 23 in the city of Oklahoma, these numbers are well below normal for this time of year, so use caution if you're leaving home even heading south.

Temperatures in Austin even until tomorrow will not drop below 30 degrees, we will reach 37 degrees again, well below normal for this time of year. So something to keep in mind if you're in the Northeast and wondering where the cold air is. We have seen a good stretch until January. As we conclude this final day, we will continue to see a warm January. the record books but that doesn't last all weekend we'll see places like Boston 26 degrees on Friday ending at 2pm on Saturday if you live in New York City you'll wake up to single digit temperatures uh in the morning hours on Saturday, so the Northeast will also be included in this cold weather, ladies, the Arctic rise always comes on a weekend.

I really liked the Bridge animation which was great and really good at keeping people safe. Now you know exactly Angie Lastman, thank you. Thank you very much and the Alex Murdoch double murder trial began its second week with the jury seeing inside Murdoch's armory room via police body camera video. All of his prosecutors brought their arsenal of weapons to the courtroom. NBC News correspondent Blaine Alexander has more on this. is a trial that is drawing nationwide attention to the city of Walterboro, South Carolina. On the sixth day of the trial, two different officers took to the stands and argued about guns in a South Carolina courtroom.

A dramatic Show and Tell, let's see what else is in this box on the stand investigator Jeff Croft reveals gun after gun found on the hunting property of Alec Murdock, the disbarred attorney on trial for the murder of his wife and adult son and again, if you can show it to the jury, please, but the murder weapons have not been recovered and Murdoch's defense lawyers repeatedly objected to the weapons being shown, saying that ballistics testing had already determined that they were not involved, simply They're not relevant, but they sent gun after gun into the jury room during deliberation and we think that's unfair. damaging, this agent gathered 12 gauge weapons for a reason because 12 gauge bullets were used to murder Paul Murdock.

Jurors watched body camera video that showed investigators searching Murdoch's gun closet and recovering old shell casings from property not involved in the murders. Jurors also heard recordings of an emotional Murdoch is questioned by authorities several days after the murders, when he is asked about his wife, he breaks down: "You're a wonderful wife" during that recording. Murdoch also references a 300 Blackout rifle, the same type of weapon investigators say was used in Maggie's death. they use 300 Blackout to shoot Hogs, they do. The day started with Murdoch's lawyers suggesting that because two guns were used, there may have been two different shooters, yes, not the only one, but it's a reasonable explanation, like one shooter ran there, right, sure, but. the state rejected that, saying it could also mean there was a shooter using two different weapons, Blaine Alexander, thank you very much and coming soon to Morning News Now, a new chapter in the New York City immigration crisis why many asylum seekers are Now taking to the streets to protest their living conditions and what the city is saying about it, that's what we're back to next with a new controversy in New York City's migrant crisis this morning some asylum seekers are waking up after spending the night on the street in a protest over the city's attempt to move them from a Manhattan hotel to a temporary shelter in Brooklyn.

NBC News correspondent Valerie Castro spoke with some of the migrants. Efforts to house migrants in New York City are becoming more chaotic as officials try to force their way through some of them. From this Manhattan hotel to a new shelter, immigrants protesting the measure sleep on the street. Some of them say that the conditions at the Brooklyn cruise terminal, which the city installed with a thousand beds for single men, are unbearable, with reports from men that there, sanitary facilities are limited, we cross the street like this to take a shower and return to the city bus.

Some people arrived at the facility over the weekend. Many of those who fled political turmoil and economic instability in Venezuela feel safer sleeping on the streets. Instead of sleeping in what reminds them of an ice detention center, several returned to Manhattan warning others not to go, resulting in a sidewalk encampment under foreign scaffolding. All of them will soon be forced to leave the city saying that the hotel will become a shelter strictly for families with Some of the men say they have been through constant displacement since they left their home countries until they traveled by bus to New York from other states and now they move through various shelters or hotels.

The city says 42,000 asylum seekers have come here since last spring from abroad. The mayor's office in a statement said, "We continue to go above and beyond our moral obligations and insist that the Brooklyn site will provide the same services as other city-run outreach centers," but local elected officials said in a joint statement that It assumes that a tour of the facilities has been scheduled. Construction for the next three months was postponed by the mayor's office arguing that if the shelter was ready for people to start arriving on Saturday, it should be ready for elected officials to visit on Monday despite the uncertainty.

Iván Pereira, who fled Venezuela, says that he has faith abroad, he says there. There are adequate bathrooms both inside the terminal and in the trailers that were transported. Specifically, we have been told there are up to 90 bathrooms but did not specify the number of showers. The city also added that despite the controversyThere are people who have been staying in that shelter, but it wouldn't tell us exactly how many. It's definitely a story to watch the large influx of migrants, now to our international headlines, more deaths were reported after the suicide bombing at a mosque in Pakistan yesterday.

NBC News 4 and correspondent Janice Mackey Frayer joins us. now from Beijing, hello Janice, hello, good morning, we start in Pakistan and the consequences of that suicide bombing in Peshawar, the attack that occurred inside a SUNY mosque in a police station left more than 90 people dead, dozens of injured and rescuers have to move huge mounds. of debris to reach people who could be trapped now the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility they did so on Twitter but the authorities have not yet confirmed who was behind the bombing tens of thousands of people are still affected by a powerful tropical storm In Madagascar, the store made landfall last week with wind gusts of 170 kilometers per hour that caused torrential rains and landslides.

Now it is reported that at least 30 people have died, 20 are missing and the water remains so high that most roads are unusable without canoes and it is finally For the first time in air travel, Emirates Airlines success

full

y flew a Boeing 777 with one of the engines powered by sustainable fuel. They now used a blend that apparently reflects the quality of jet fuel that now includes fuel from a Wisconsin-based company made from plant-based sugars. Sustainable fuel is expensive, costing around three times more than conventional jet fuel, but the idea and long-term plan is to reduce the carbon footprint of the entire airline industry and that's a look at your headlines this hour , so impressive. very good, it is unfortunate to hear that it is expensive.

I'll have to see how that plays out but awesome yeah Janice Mackey Frayer thank you so much thank you and then what role does her manager at work play in her mental health? How does all this translate to your life outside of the office? Plus, raising a child is actually a lot harder than people think. A lot of new parents seem to think, so we've got those stories and more in your weekly mental health checkup after this. We're watching the Morning News Now we're back with a new battle over education in Florida, this time at a small public liberal arts college in Sarasota.

NBC News correspondent Moore Barrett tells us why critics are questioning Gov. Ron Desantis' picks for new school administrators at the new College of Florida's recent meeting of students with new board members the article 3 is titled religious, let's go with someone else. I want to make sure we have as many people as possible. I am happy to answer your question. Tensions are rising. a student asked a follow-up question Gov. Ron DeSantis recently replaced six of the 13 board members in an apparent attempt to transform this intimate 700-person liberal arts college into what the Florida Commissioner of Education has touted as a Hillsdale delSouth refers to a private Christian university with explicit conservative views.

One of the things that makes teaching at a new university a true privilege is that our students want to take risks. New universities with a more flexible learning style and a close-knit, LGBT-friendly community. It attracted a sophomore. Sam Scharf became a new university for a reason and they are trying to take him away from us. One of the new board members, Chris Ruffo, told a New York Times columnist that the board plans to conduct a top-down restructuring and design a new core curriculum. from the ground up, including eliminating diversity equity and inclusion initiatives that you have called the new board's statement and what you are looking to do like a hostile takeover of the university why the word hostile is necessary, sure, what I mean seriously, I mean, it's a In fact, uh uh, right here today, some Anonymous activists sent a death threat to my fellow admin Eddie Speer.

Rufo told us that the governor's quote: political genius will be the guiding light of the new board whenever it has a vision to transform an institution, there will be conflict. I want to be very open and honest about it and transparent in the process, but beyond that conflict, I think it's academic excellence, it's world-class research, whereas the governor's recent legislation restricting how lessons about race are taught and gender currently cannot be applied in schools, a federal judge calls the policy positively dystopian, what do you think of something your efforts surround is described as dystopian? Yeah, I obviously don't agree, but what I would say is this, uh, I've laid out, am I reporting so many cases of this kind of vicious racialist ideology left-wing political activism under the guise of so-called anti-bias training or Dei programming? and we are going to say that the political ideologies of the left will no longer be best administrative practices and that does not mean that the right wing political ideologies are going to be we want to have a balanced system we want to have more voices more freedom more expression a more exchange of ideas solid NBC News reached out to Governor Desantis office for comment but received no response, that's a lot of attention for a state school on the Florida coast, they attacked us first because we are a small school with a predominantly LGBT body and many other marginalized people go here.

Some students and teachers believe it is the governor's latest attempt to stoke national political tensions. we feel like political pawns and the great culture war and our governors National political ambitions and careerist rufous ambitions politics should not really play a big role in our education. What happens here will have implications for public and private schools around the world. The country leaves many students anxious and threatened about what might come next. Our thanks to Maura Barrett for that report and it is important to add that while both students and teachers recognize that being part of the public school system includes oversight by the State, they also feel that political interests are reshaping public education in Florida.

Now it's time for our weekly mental health check-in. Today we'll take a closer look at the influence of managers and why some studies say they might actually affect your mental health more than your therapist. Yes, class. New parents feel that the job is much more difficult than they expected. We have more information about how it's shaping your parenting styles. Let's bring in Dr. Erica Richards to learn more. She is chair of Psychiatry at Sibley Memorial Hospital and assistant professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Medicine. Dr. Richards It's always good to have you join us and we love this segment, thanks for being with us today, so let's start with this new study from the Workforce Institute and it found that 69 of employees, that's a lot People, you feel like your manager has the biggest impact on your mental health.

I guess this makes sense, especially in this culture and society where you know so much of work is our identity, we spend so much time at work, but tell us how that stress translates to life outside of the office as well. What can you do about it? What can a manager take into account? Good morning, Savannah. I think there are a couple of take-home points from this Workforce Institute survey. 3,400 people in 10 countries were interviewed, so this is a universal concept and what they believe. It's really time for leaders to understand the impact they are having on their organization and the people they work with.

I mean when we say our leaders have more impact than our doctors and therapists. and really the same impact as partners, that's very important and there are a couple of things that they want leaders to work on and understand number one is leading by example, it's very important that leaders really manage themselves , do not necessarily take on additional work. spread the word among your team think about answering emails after vacation hours and what kind of example you are setting for others because they will really watch what you do and what not to emphasize empathy it is also important to ask people how it went day and listen Don't ask and then walk down the hall.

Really engage in what your employees are going through and the last thing they really highlighted is giving people a reason to care. Remind them of the organization's goals. Remind them why you are there. Working together a little helps a lot, especially when we spend so much time at work and Dr. Richards. I want to ask you about another form of management, maybe you could call it parenting. I know parenting is hard, but according to the Pew Research Center, two-thirds of parents now actually say the job is much harder than they thought, so where exactly does the stress come from?

How do today's parents approach the role compared to previous generations of parents? Do you have any advice on how to alleviate it? this stress or we are trapped in it as parents. This is a very interesting study by the Pew Research Center and the good

news

is that they found about 80, so 8 out of ten people who questioned good parenting find it rewarding. most or all of the time, but about two-thirds also said it's much harder than they expected and why that is. If we highlight working mothers or mothers for a second, there are many things that imply what What I know is that today mothers who work outside the home still spend the same amount of time with their children and raising their children. children, so finding a way to balance that becomes stressful.

I think parents in general are also worried, but we are worrying about different things. I think decades ago the concerns were, would I get kidnapped or would they get sick, but now we see them worrying about their children's mental health and we try to help them understand that they are worried about financial stability. so there's just a shift and a shift as well in the way that parents interact with their children as parents ask questions that really encourage discussion more than a top-down approach to parenting. Well I'm really interested in this last question and maybe it's a way of addressing these two things we're talking about work stress parental stress in the UK there's this, they found that 90 of the people who watch birds or listen to birdsong birds feel a boost in their mental health a way to manage stress tells us exactly what we know here.

It's very interesting and this reminds me a little bit of a discussion we had a couple of months ago about the importance of smiling when you interact with these services and we established that you know in the UK what they are. What we're seeing is that this is the importance of getting outside, listening to the birdsong, listening to the music, so to speak, of the birds, it's really important to a lot of people, well, you do it outside, if you can't Do it outside, there are certainly ways you can listen. But incorporating a walk in a quiet area where you can actually identify and hear the birds is important and is something each of us can do often to help improve our own mental health.

Dr. Erica Richards. Thank you very much, like I said, we love this. segment and that's a good one, now go listen to something I know, words, I'm sure we'll come out after it's warm enough or you'll live for it, thank you, thank you and coming soon to the Morning News. Now, some new developments on that. deadly movie On-set shooting involving actor Alec Baldwin charges will be formally filed against Baldwin and gunsmith for rust today we have Danny Savalas with us after the breakup with what happens next stay abroad today the district attorney of New Mexico says it will file manslaughter charges against actor Alec Baldwin and the film's gunsmith for their roles in the shooting death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins.

The district attorney first announced charges against the two earlier this month since the shooting. Both have maintained their innocence and were criticized by Baldwin's lawyers. These latest charges are a citation of a miscarriage of justice. NBC News legal analyst Danny Savalos joins us now to talk about this, so Danny, charges will be filed with prosecutors today, saying the two will be charged at the Alternatives date, as they call. so talk to us about what exactly that means and what we can expect today under the statute. There are two different theories of manslaughter. The first isperform a legal act with what is called gross negligence in criminal law, which basically means recklessness.

The difference is that you are aware of the risk you are taking, the other alternative is essentially a weapon plus mere negligence and mere negligence is simply, regardless of what you thought in your head, you did something that did not meet the standard of care, so in this case the prosecution choosing to follow two different theories and, by the way, in the interviews the prosecutor also said that when it comes to Pro accusing him as an executive producer or as an actor carrying a gun, his answer was both, for what prosecutions go with many alternative theories here.

I wonder how that will play out with the jury if I'm defending the case. I point out that the prosecution hasn't even committed to a theory of liability here, Danny. I actually want to ask a question related to that and read this first. The statement is from the Screen Actors Guild, which is also interesting. They released this statement on Friday saying that citing the prosecutor's argument that an actor has a duty to ensure the functional and mechanical functioning of a firearm on a production set, is incorrect and uninformed for the actor. The job is not to be a couple of firearms or weapons experts, so what does this mean coming from the Actors Union in the first place?

What kind of role do they play here? How much authority do they have to say something like that? Sounds reasonable enough, but then what does that mean in terms of Baldwin's defense? Because it sounds pretty reasonable, but then you bring up that question from the producer, which is what you just mentioned, and then what does that mean? I have to tell you that I have talked to a lot. of firearms experts and specialists and, frankly, they are all over the place on this issue, but here is what that statement from The Guild tells us: We already know that the FBI has issued a report, so the prosecutor we can wait will use experts to take the stand. and I say, in my experience, this was something that Baldwin's actions fell below the par standard, they were reckless, but the fact that the guild issued that statement tells us something very important: it means that the defense will be able to find a expert who says otherwise. and when that happens, a case becomes a battle of experts, it's almost not about the underlying issues, but rather which expert the jury likes best, believes in, and is able to digest their information best, it becomes a toss-up. coin, a coin toss, everyone is watching.

Danny Savalos, thank you. Thank you very much and there's a good chance you haven't seen it or even heard of Leslie's movie until recently. The low budget independent film went unnoticed but the movie star is now in the running for best actress at the Oscars however she made it into the category however how excuse me she made it into the category is now at the center of an investigation our own Joe Friar explains tell me I'm fine an academy investigation is underway after this surprising Oscar nomination Andrea Risborough into Leslie gasps were heard after Andrea Reisborough was nominated for her performance in Leslie drama about an alcoholic woman who wins the Lottery The little-known independent film has only grossed about $27,000 at the box office, and the film and Riseborough failed to get nominated for most other major awards, including the Golden Globes, despite their best effort.

I'm not going to nowhere, but just before the Oscar voting, a star-studded word-of-mouth campaign began to emerge, featuring celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Edward Norton, Sarah Paulson and Demi. Moore, all promoting Riseborough's performance, some even using the same language in their posts, almost all of them citing Leslie a little movie with a giant heart, even Best Actress favorite Kate Blanchette mentioned Riseborough during one of her recent acceptance speeches, it's extremely arbitrary considering how many extraordinary performances there have been by women not only in this room, but you know Andrea Reisberger and Tang, the actors wouldn't have done this for the most part if they didn't like the performance, so I don't want to take anything away from that, but to say that this was organic and came out of nowhere is a misunderstanding of how the Oscar campaigns in question work.

Did the social media campaign violate Academy rules against lobbying for votes in a statement from the Academy Board of Governors announced it will meet Tuesday to review appointment campaign procedures surrounding nominees of this year to ensure that the guidelines are not violated and to inform us if changes to the guidelines may be needed in a new era of social media and digital communication the rules are the rules and the way the rules are written in this moment is that you are not allowed to put excessive pressure on people or disparage other campaigns, which increases nominations. It's worth fighting for until Danielle Deadweiler this was my boy, bro, she herself expressed her surprise by saying the deadline after the nominations.

I'm not entirely sure how this happened again. He'll never talk to me again. It is rare for the Academy to rescind a nomination in 95 years. It's only happened nine times. I don't think Andrew Reisborough will lose his nomination and most importantly they will probably establish a rule that provides better guidance on what is okay and what is not okay on social media and to reach out to people in the community during voting We reached out to Rise Borough and their managers for comment but haven't heard back Joe Fryer NBC News, okay, pretty chatty, kind of interesting, sure we'll have to stay tuned for now.
