You see on your screen you see the flap, you see the flames and at some point you see the camera lens breaking. this was part of another major win for spacex which was eventually it did make its return to earth. so even though, you know, elon musk himself posted to x saying even though they lost some tiles, we don t know what exactly the shape of the rocket s but it did make its return to earth and nasa administrator bill nelson also celebrating this as a big success. even though part of it was loss and kind of came apart this was the first time we ve seen that. this was something we ve seen in previous tests starship exploded minutes after it lifted off. so this is all a part of this major mission that nasa has to return astronauts to the moon. spacex s starship has been tapped to be a part of that mission and eventually the mission to mars. but, chris, this is all coming during a busy week for spaceflight. remember yesterday we were talking about boeing s starliner that is a totally separate mission.
President biden has been able to frame the stakes here in a way that resonates both with voters and with allies? well, one hopes that that is the case. joe biden got into this race in order to got into the race for president back in 2020 in order to preserve our democracy when he saw it being weakened, and he s made the preservation of democracy a central pillar of his campaign. his being able to prevail in a fall election will be a way of continuing that as we see that democracy is under threat with the candidacy of donald trump, a potential presidency from donald trump would certainly put our democratic principles in jeopardy, but we see biden today at this hallowed battleground in world war ii, one of two world wars that we fought last century to make the world safe for democracy, and we see democracy in peril today not only abroad, but in our own country, chris.
Fulton county election interference case against former donald trump is on pause while he appeals to try to get the da fani willis kicked off the case. and in the case of accused gilgo beach serial killer, the man suspected of killing at least four women in long island is now being charged with murdering two more. plus, confusion and concern. the reality at the u.s./mexico border right now for those tasked with enforcing president biden s new asylum executive action. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments. we begin with the deadly israeli air strike on an u.n.-operated school in central gaza. nbc s josh lederman is following that story for us. the idf says this was a precise strike on a hamas compound. what do we know? reporter: chris, the israeli military clearly knows the amount of criticism they re getting for this strike, coming a week after that other strike in rafah near that unrwa facility that killed dozens of
Now. so theoretically steve bannon, unless something changes right now, he s going to be required to actually report to court on by july 1st, chris. ryan reilly, thank you. still to come in the next hour of chris jansen reports, a strike on a school in gaza kills dozens, including children. what both israel and hamas are saying about it. stay close. more chris jansing reports after this. chris jansing report after this so go ahead, live unfiltered with the one and only sotyktu, a once-daily pill for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, and the chance at clear or almost clear skin. it s like the feeling of finding you re so ready for your close-up. or finding you don t have to hide your skin just your background. once-daily sotyktu was proven better, getting more people clearer skin than the leading pill. don t take if you re allergic to sotyktu; serious reactions can occur. sotyktu can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections, cancers including lymphoma,
Tell us what happened today. reporter: hey, chris. well, yeah, in the eyes of spacex this was exactly that. i want to take you to the moment that we saw in the mission control, people celebrating after one big major milestone. i will explain on the other side of it. you can see the water below. and we have splash down! an incredible sight. congratulations to the spacex team. [ cheers and applause ] reporter: so, chris, as you mentioned, that was the first soft landing splash down of the starship booster and there was another major milestone moment that i want to show you because it might be deceiving if you were watching the live feed as it was happening. this is the rocket after it was in orbit and it was starting to come back to earth what you see are pieces of the rocket essentially coming apart.
Woman. now, the other significant information that came out from the cross examination is that hallie biden said she was going through rehabilitation treatment in early october, and that was part of why hunter biden came back to delaware, and he attended some of those sessions with hallie biden. there was a very tortured series of questions from lowell to biden, and she sometimes seemed nervous and was looking around the gallery, and i noticed her looking at her brand new husband, a man by the name of john anning, my colleague spoke with him. they just got married this past weekend, chris, and when sarah asked him about that, he said this is one heck of a way to spend the honeymoon. this is speaking to really the complicated emotional and family dynamics that are at play during this trial. yeah, complicated to say the least. hallie biden was in a romantic relationship with hunter biden in october of 2018, and that s when the gun was purchased. as you ve been following along with this trial, how important is that, and how important is
It was just about an hour ago that we saw those astronauts dock at the international space station and this was another historic moment, chris, because, remember, this is all a part of the effort to have another option to get to the international space station because spacex has been it, that s been the main way to bring astronauts to the international space station for the last four years and so now this is the first time that we have ever seen astronauts brought to the international space station through boeing and obviously we still have another eight days or so for those astronauts before they make their return back to earth, chris. marissa parra, thank you. one final thought on this 80th anniversary of d a day. robert brushetti witnessed the ma reaps raising the american flag on a mountaintop in ee would jet stream ma, captured in one of the war s most historic photographs is just one memory from his command ship on a
Attached to this suspect. so that leaves the door open here. do they continue investigations? do they go back and do additional searches and keep adding one charge after another, or do they move to a trial now? as many of the victims families want, get this guy officially behind bars. that s really the question here in the community. people have fought for so long for there to be this level of information, interest and urgency behind this case. many of these victims they came from low-income backgrounds, many of the women were sex workers. that is what left people to concerned that for a time authorities weren t taking this seriously enough, weren t taking enough action. the question is what happens next? antonia hilton, thank you for that. let s go to the southern border now and the confusion on the ground after president biden s new executive action. julia ainsley is reporting on that for us. i understand three border agents spoke to nbc news about this. what did they say? reporter: that s right, chris, i m just back from south
Say to everybody that s watching, chris, is empower yourself with the right information. spf greater than 30. 12% of people are actually using sunscreen appropriately. easy things that we can all do we should be doing. number two, in this era of wearable devices, i know maybe not everybody owns one, the one thing i talk about with my patients, chris, something that i think we have had conversations on is look at your heart rate. try to get a measure of your heart rate throughout the day. we need four liters of fluid now every single day in the heat and humidity, up from one to two liters in the winter. the way you know you are dehydrated is looking at your curve throughout the day. if your resting heart rate is increasing throughout the day you re probably not drinking enough fluid. it is one way to empower yourself with the right information to make sure you re doing all the things you can to prevent a heatstroke. thank you all.
Sting. reporter: that s right. so this all sort of started out on the night of january 6 when the fbi was putting a call out for any tips about anyone who flooded into the capitol and this young woman who lived in d.c. actually went back and flipped opened up her dating app, changed her political beliefs to conservatives and started chatting with a bunch of guys, she talked to about 12 of them, got three of them to admit they were on the grounds of the u.s. capitol that day and the most serious of them was andrew tokky who as it turned out had assaulted law enforcement with bear spray that day. one of the officers wrote a letter to the court saying that it was like liquid death when he got hit with that bear spray, it was the worst pain he ever experienced in his life and that s ultimately what led the judge to give a six and a half year sentence here. i spoke with the woman after this sentence was imposed and what she had to tell me was she was glad that at least one of the creeps i ve met on bumble will get jail time, sort of jokingly there and added mostly
