NIGHTLY NEWS STARTS RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NBC NIGHTLY NEWS WITH TOM YAMASS. GOOD EVENING. I'M HALLIE JACKSON IN FOR TOM TONIGHT, AND AS WE COME ON THE AIR, A BRUTAL AND DANGEROUS HEAT WAVE IS BAKING. TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND AROUND THE WORLD WITH SOME OF THE WORST HEAT SOME SPOTS HAVE EVER SEEN. HERE AT HOME, THOSE TEMPERATURES ARE FUELING BIG WILDFIRES IN THE WEST. YOU SEE THOSE MASSIVE FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF THIS HIGHWAY IN NEW MEXICO. AND IN UTAH.

LOOK AT THISRY SCENE ON THIS DOORBELL CAMERA. THE FLAMES JUST FEET FROM THE FRONT DOOR. AND WITH SO MANY AMERICAN. TRAVELERS IN EUROPE, THE HEAT DOME THERE IS TIGHTENING ITS GRIP. AS EXTREME TEMPERATURES ALREADY HITTING RECORDS SOAR EVEN HIGHER, INCLUDING IN PARIS, BROILING WITH ITS HOTTEST DAY EVER, PROMPTING THE EIFFEL TOWER AND THE LOUVRE TO SHUT DOWN. THE HEAT'S ALSO BEING BLAMED FOR DOZENS OF DEATHS, INCLUDING AT LEAST 48 PEOPLE WHO DROWNED TRYING TO COOL OFF. AL ROKER IS HERE WITH THE LATEST FORECAST, BUT WE BEGIN WITH DANIELLE HAMMAMJIN FROM ONE OF THE HOTTEST PLACES ON THE PLANET.

TONIGHT FIREFIGHTERS BATTLING OUT OF CONTROL WILDFIRES OUT WEST. FROM COLORADO TO UTAH TO NEW MEXICO. THE FIRES SCORCHING THOUSANDS OF ACRES. THE INTENSE SMOKE SEEN HERE COVERING THE SKY IN UTAH. THE RING CAMERA CAPTURING FLAMES SURROUNDING THIS HOME. AND IN NEW MEXICO, WATCH AS THIS FIRE GETS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO A HIGHWAY.

THE BLAZE IS FUELED BY EXTREME HECROSS THE COUNTRY. THE BRUTAL TEMPERATURES ALSO BEING FELT IN FRANCE AS. MORE THAN 50 MILLION SUFFER A BRUTAL HEAT WAVE. UNBEARABLY HOT. IT'S. JUST RIDICULOUS. YOU CAN'T SEEM TO ESCAPE IT. WHILE THOUSANDS OF PARISIANS ARE FLOCKING TO THE CANAL SAINT MARTIN TO COOL OFF, THE CITY REACHED 106 DEGREES, BREAKING A JUNE RECORD, WHILE PARIS ONCE AGAIN HAD TO CLOSE ICONIC LANDMARKS INCLUDING THE LOUVRE. THERE WOULD NORMALLY BE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HERE WAITING IN LINE.

TO STEP INSIDE THE MOST VISITED MUSEUM IN THE WORLD, BUT LOOK AT IT NOW. IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON. AND THE DOORS HAVE JUST CLOSED. AROUND THE COUNTRY. AT LEAST 48 PEOPLE HAVE DROWNED SINCE LAST WEEK WHILE TRYING TO ESCAPE THE HEAT. AMERICANS IN PARIS TRYING TO CATCH A BREAK. WE. BOOKED AN AIRBNB, SPENT ONE NIGHT THERE. IT HAD AIR CONDITIONING, BUT THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT. ANYWHERE NEAR SUFFICIENT. NO ONE SLEPT. AS SO MANY STRUGGLE TO COPE DURING THE EXTREME HEAT.

DANIELLE IS JOINING US NOW FROM PARIS, AND DANIELLE, THE HEAT IS BEING LINKED TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF POWER OUTAGES THERE, RIGHT? YEAH, AND SO MANY HAVE BEEN LEFT WITHOUT POWER. MEANWHILE, HERE IN PARIS, THE PARKS ARE OPEN ALL NIGHT. SWIMMING POOLS HAVE EXTENDED HOURS, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE, HALLY, SPENDING A LOT OF TIME IN THEIR CAR. WHERE THERE IS GUARANTEED AIR CONDITIONING. DANIELLE HAMMAMJ, THANK YOU. LET'S BRING IN AL ROKER NOW WHO'S TRACKING ALL OF THIS HEAT, AND AL, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER.

THAT'S RIGHT. BOTH THERE AND HERE. HALLIE, GOOD MORNING. GOOD EVENING. YOU CAN SEE FROM PRESIDIO, TEXAS TO LOS ANGELES WE'VE GOT 19 MILLION PEOPLE UNDER HEAT ADVISORIES, HEAT WATCHES AND WARNINGS. NOW. HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING. WE'VE GOT THIS VERY DRY AIR MOVING TO THE. WEST THAT'S CAUSING ALL THE HEAT AND THE FIRES. WE'VE GOT. HUMID AIR TO THE SOUTH AND MOVING TO THE EAST. NOW TRIPLE DIGITS PHOENIX, ROSWELL, NEAR TRIPLE DIGITS FOR DALLAS. AND OVER IN EUROPE THIS BIG HEAT DOME IS KEEPING. IT. ALL. RIGHT THERE CLOSE TO THE GROUND.

PARIS TRIPLE DIGITS, SAME IN VIENNA, MILAN, AND MARSEILLE, AND IN FACT. HALF THE WESTERN HALF OF. FRANCE. TODAY, HALLIE. OVER 104 DEGREES. SOME RELIEF BUT WE GET THE TIME WE GET TO THE WEEKEND. HALLIE, IS WILD. AL, PLENTY TO TRACK. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. HERE IN WASHINGTON, NEW DEVELOPMENTS AFTER A BLOW UP BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND SOME IN HIS OWN PARTY. THE ESCALATING TENSIONS COMING AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP SUDDENLY PULLED THE. PLUG ON PLANS FOR A POPULAR BIPARTISAN HOUSING BILL.

GABE GUTIERREZ EXPLAINS. THE STAGE HAD BEEN SET, BUT TONIGHT AN ABRUPT CANCELLATION, PRESIDENT TRUMP SUDDENLY SCRAPPING A PLANNED SIGNING CEREMONY. FOR A BIPARTISAN BILL TO LOWER HOUSING COSTS. I'M PROUD OF THE WORK OF. THE HOUSE AND SENATE TO GET THIS TO GET PEOPLE TO YES, BUT AS THAT NEWS CONFERENCE WAS UNFOLDING, PRESIDENT TRUMP PULLED THE PLUG, POSTING THE SIGNING CEREMONY WAS CANCELED UNTIL SUCH TIME. AS WE PASSED THE DESPERATELY NEEDED SAVE AMERICA ACT, PART OF HIS RIFT WITH SOME SENATE.

THEN CAME A TENSNCH WITH THE SENATE GOP. WE'RE VERY PROUD OF. THE PARTY. WE LIKE OUR LEADER. WE LIKE EVERYBODY. REALLY IN THE ROOM. I DON'T LIKE A FEW PEOPLE, BUT THAT'S OK. THE DEEPENING DIVIDE COMING A DAY AFTER 4 SENATE REPUBLICANS JOINED DEMOCRATS TO. PASS A SYMBOLIC MEASURE URGING THE PRESIDENT TO END THE WAR WITH IRAN. IRAN IS MAKING VERY BIG CONCESSIONS. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. ONE OF THOSE REPUBLICANS, SENATOR BILL CASSIDY, TOLD. AS HE LOST HIS TEMPER AND SAID THE PRESIDENT. ALSO RAISED HIS VOICE WHILE TALKING ABOUT THAT VOTE.

THE PRESIDENT NOW SAYING HE WON'T SIGN THE HOUSING BILL, WHICH CUTS REGULATIONS TO SPARK CONSTRUCTION UNLESS. CONGRESS FIRST PASSES THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, WHICH MANDATES PHOTO ID AND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP TO VOTE. WE HAVE TO PRESS FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY MEASURES. THAT'S WHY WE'VE MADE IT A TOP PRIORITY. DEMOCRATS OPPOSE IT, ARGUING THE SWEEPING BILL. PLACE TOO MANY RESTRICTIONS ON VOTING. INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED AND WANT,

HE'S OFF SAYING, I'M GOING TO KEEP A BUNCH OF THEM FROM VOTING. WHILE PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOW ASKING THE. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO INVESTIGATE OIL COMPANIES, SAYING WITH OIL PRICES PLUMMETING, GAS PRICES SHOULD BE FALLING FASTER, WHICH THE OIL INDUSTRY DISPUTES. THE OIL COMPANIES ARE. POSSIBLY GOUGING. I HOPE THEY'RE NOT, OTHERWISE THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN BIG TROUBLE. GABE IS JOINING US NOW FROM THE NATIONAL MALL WHERE THE. PRESIDENT IS SET TO SPEAK AT A FREEDOM 250 CELEBRATION. SO GABE, HOW FAR IS THE PRESIDENT WILLING TO GO TO OPPOSE THIS HOUSING BILL?

WELL, HALLIE, THE PRESIDENT DID NOT DIRECTLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION TODAY. SOME HOUSE REPUBLICANS TELLING NBC NEWS THEY ARE JUST STUNNED BY HOW THIS. ALL WENT DOWN TODAY, ONE CALLING IT CRAZY. MEANWHILE, IF THE PRESIDENT TAKES NO ACTION, THE HOUSING BILL BECOMES LAW IN 10 DAYS. HALLIE. GABE GUTIERREZ HERE IN WASHINGTON. THANK YOU. NOW TO SOME BREAKING NEWS JUST INTO US, AN APPARENT MAJOR EARTHQUAKE OUT OF VENEZUELA. LET'S GET TO ERIN GILCHRIST WITH THE LATEST. HALLIE, TWO MAJOR DISTINCT EARTHQUAKES HITTING VENEZUELA WITHIN JUST.

A COUPLE OF MINUTES OF EACH OTHER, A MAGNITUDE 7.2 AND A 7.5 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE, REALLY LESS THAN 30 MILES APART FROM EACH OTHER AS WELL. WE ARE GETTING IMAGES IN NOW FROM MORE THAN 100 MILES AWAY IN CARACAS, WHERE. THAT'S THE CAPITAL, WHERE WE KNOW THAT HOMES AND OTHER BUILDINGS. HAVE COLLAPSED AS A RESULT OF THESE EARTHQUAKES. FIRST RESPONDERS WERE SEEN HELPING. THE INJURED HERE. DIGGING THROUGH DEBRIS FROM THOSE COLLAPSED BUILDINGS. THIS SHAKING STARTED JUST AFTER 6 P.M. EASTERN TIME.

PEOPLE WERE SEEN RUNNING INTO THE STREETS AS BUILDINGS SWAYED. DEBRIS CLOUDS SEEMED TO RISE INTO THE AIR AS WELL. AT THIS POINT WE DON'T KNOW THE EXTENT OF ANY INJURIES OR DAMAGE IN THIS AREA, BUT WE DO KNOW THAT THE GOVERNMENT. IS TELLING PEOPLE, WARNING THEM THAT THEY SHOULD STAY OUTSIDE. BECAUSE THERE MAY BE AFTERSHOCKS THAT. COULD DO MORE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. ALI. ERIN GILCHRIST, THANK YOU. WE ARE ALSO LEARNING TONIGHT A PLANE DIVERTED TO BOSTON. AFTER THE CAPTAIN EXPERIENCED A MEDICAL EMERGENCY IN FLIGHT.

THE PLANE, YOU SEE IT HERE, LANDED WITHOUT ISSUE. HE WAS TAKEN OFF ON A STRETCHER TO THE HOSPITAL. AND IN ALASKA, AN AVIATION CLOSE CALL CAPTURED ON CAMERA WHEN. A COMMUTER PLANE CRASH LANDED IN THE WILDERNESS. TOM COSTELLO HAS THE DETAILS ON HOW. EVERYONE INCREDIBLY MANAGED TO WALK AWAY SAFELY. THE HARROWING MOMENTS CAUGHT ON CAMERA AS A R AIR FLIGHT WAS FORCED TO CRASH LAND. IN ALASKA'S GLACIER PASS. DESPITE A TERRIFYING FEW MOMENTS, NO SCREAMING,

NO PANIC. EVERYONE'S SAFE ON THE GROUND. IT'S NOT IDEAL. ONE PILOT AND 8 PASSENGERS, INCLUDING BRETT PHILLIPE, WHO FILMED IT ALL. HOW'S THIS FOR YOUR FIRST TIME IN ALASKA? NO, NO, THIS DOESN'T USUALLY HAPPEN. IT'S LIKE. 4AW FLEW FROM FAIRBANKS TO COLDFOOT, THEN ON TO ANAVU PASS, BUT ALONG THE WAY DEVELOPED ENGINE TROUBLE. IN A BLOG POST, FELIPE SAYS THE PILOT TURNED BACK TO US AND SAID THAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR A SPOT TO LAND.

I CINCHED MY SEATBELT TIGHT. SUDDENLY AN OPEN CLEARING IN THE ALASKAN WILDERNESS. THE IMPACT DUG SKID MARKS IN THE GROUND, BUT THE DIRT COVERED PLANE LEFT MOSTLY INTACT. HAVING AN EMERGENCY CRASH LANDING OUT HERE IN THE BUSH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. 30 MINUTES LATER, A SEARCH PLANE WAS OVERHEAD. THEY FOUND US. 2 HOURS LATER, A HELICOPTER BEGAN LIFTING EVERYONE OUT.

EVERYONE'S SAFE AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS. SOON ALL 9 WERE BACK IN COLDFOOT. THE SATAO8 CARAVAN IS A RELIABLE, RUGGED PLANE WITH AN EQUALLY RELIABLE ENGINE. TONIGHT PASSENGERS ARE CREDITING THE PILOT. WITH SAVING THEIR LIVES. HALLIE, TOM COSTELLO, THANK YOU. NEARLY A YEAR AFTER THE FLOOD THAT DEVASTATED TEXAS HILL COUNTRY, CAMP MYSTIC, THE SUMMER CAMP WHERE 27 YOUNG GIRLS AND COUNSELORS DIED, HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. OUR MORGAN CHESKY EXPLAINS WHAT IT COULD.

MEAN FOR THE FAMILIES STILL SEEKING JUST. TONIGHT AMID TRAGEDY, LAWSUITS, AND NO LICENSE TO OPERATE, THE 100-YEAR-OLD CAMP MYSTIC FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY. THE OVERNIGHT FILING BY THE ALL-GIRLS CAMP RAISING. QUESTIONS OVER ITS FUTURE AND LITIGATION AGAINST IT. FOLLOWING THE DEATHS OF ITS OWNER, 25 CAMPERS, AND TWO COUNSELORS LAST JULY WHEN THE GUADALUPE RIVER. SURGED NEARLY 40 FT OUT OF ITS BANKS. DOCUMENTS OBTAINED BY NBC NEWS SHOW MYSTIC. CLAIMING TOTAL DEBT EXCEEDS $10 MILLION.

THE FILING PAUSING ALL WRONGFUL DEATH AND. NEGLIGENCE SUITS SCHEDULED FOR NEXT YEAR, CAMP OWNERS ADMITTING IN APRIL. THEY WISH. THEY HAD EVACUATED SOONER. WE TRIED OUR HARDEST THAT NIGHT AND IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO SAVE YOUR DAUGHTERS. THE FIGHT FOR ACCOUNTABILITY LED BY HEAVEN'S 27, FORMED BY THE FAMILIES WHO LOST THEIR DAUGHTERS. AS A MOTHER. OR A PARENT, REALLY, THERE'S A DESPERATE NEED. TO KNOW. WHAT DID YOU GO THROUGH?

WERE YOU ALONE? WERE YOU WITH SOMEONE? WERE YOU AFRAID? WAS IT FAST? 8 OF THOSE MOTHERS SITTING DOWN. WITH OUR OWN LESTER HOLT. COULD THIS TRAGEDY HAVE BEEN AVERTED? 100%. YES, OUR GIRLS. SHOULD BE HERE. WITH THE TIME FRAME. THERE IS TIME FOR THEM ALL, THE WHOLE CAMP, TO EVACUATE SAFELY. CAMP MYSTIC'S ATTORNEY TELLING LESTER STAFF DID. FOLLOW THEIR POLICY OF SHELTERING IN PLACE. BUT SUFFERED WITHOUT A BETTER FLOOD DETECTION SYSTEM. EVERY TIME IT RAINS THERE'S A RISK OF FLASH FLOODS,

BUT THAT'S NOT THE SAME THING AS WHAT HAPPENED HERE. UH, THIS WAS A 1000 YEAR FLOOD THAT NOBODY'S EVER SEEN BEFORE. AND TONIGHT AN ATTORNEY REPRESENTING MULTIPLE MYSTIC VICTIMS TELLS ME. THAT BANKRUPTCY WILL NOT STOP PEOPLE FROM BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE, ADDING THESE INNOCENT YOUNG GIRLS. DESERVE JUSTICE, HALLIE. MORGAN CHESKY, THANK YOU, AND YOU CAN SEE MUCH MORE OF LESTER'S REPORTING. ON DATELINE THIS FRIDAY AT 10:00 9 CENTRAL. WHEN WE ARE BACK IN JUST 60 SECONDS, THE FORMER YOUTH PASTOR CHARGED WITH HIS WIFE'S MURDER.

AND TONIGHT. HER FAMILY IS SPEAKING OUT. HERE'S LIZ KREUTZ. IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS SINCE BERNADETTE VAN DER MEER DIED AFTER. FALLING MORE THAN 1000 FT WHILE HIKING WITH HER THEN HUSBAND, FORMER YOUTH PASTOR DAVID VANDERMEER, ON THE ICONIC ANGEL'S LANDING TRAIL AT ZION NATIONAL PARK. AT THE TIME, THE 29-YEAR-OLD'S DEATH WAS RULED AN ACCIDENT, BUT NOW, TWO DECADES LATER, POLICE HAVE ARRESTED HER FORMER HUSBAND AND CHARGED HIM WITH MURDER. UTAH INVESTIGATORS SAYING NEW EVIDENCE PROVES HE INTENTIONALLY AND. KNOWINGLY CAUSED HER DEATH.

THERE WAS A MOTIVE. FOR DAVID VANDERMEER TO COMMIT THIS CRIME. THERE WERE SEVERAL MOTIVES. ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS, DAVID VANDERMEER HAD BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO BERNADETTE. FOR YEARS AFTER HE BEGAN A RELATIONSHIP. WITH AN UNDERAGE GIRL WHO WAS PART OF THE CHURCH YOUTH GROUP HE RAN. INVESTIGATORS SAY THAT WOMAN RECENTLY TOLD. THEM BERNADETTE'S DEATH HAPPENED 2 DAYS. AFTER SHE HAD TOLD DAVID SHE WANTED TO BREAK OFF THE RELATIONSHIP, AND THAT. HE HAD PREVIOUSLY SAID TO HER, THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD BE TOGETHER IS IF BERNADETTE WAS NOT ALIVE. THE TWO LATER MARRIED BUT THEN DIVORCED.

DAVID IS NOW A YOGA INSTRUCTOR RECENTLY SEEN HERE PREACHING ABOUT MINDFULNESS. WE CAN UNCOVER A WHOLE LOT ABOUT OURSELVES. BY NOTICING MORE. TONIGHT. BERNADETTE'S PARENTS SPEAKING OUT, SAYING THEIR DAUGHTER'S DEATH ALWAYS SEEMED SUSPICIOUS. I SUSPECTED HIM ALL ALONG. 3 WEEKS. WHEN THEY WERE DATING. I SAID TO HER, I DON'T TRUST HIM, AND I DID NOT, AND I NEVER DID TRUST HIM. AND HALLEY, PROSECUTORS SAY THEY REOPENED THE CASE AFTER RECEIVING A NEW TIP ABOUT VANDER MEER. HE'S EXPECTED IN COURT TOMORROW.

WE'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH HIS ATTORNEY. HALLIE. LIZ KREUTZ, THANK YOU. WE ARE BACK IN A MOMENT WITH THE HISTORIC EARTHQUAKE RATTLING NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

WELCOME BACK TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA NOW, WHICH WAS HIT TODAY WITH ITS BIGGEST EARTHQUAKE IN THE AREA SINCE 1940. WE'RE TALKING 5.6 MAGNITUDE. LOOK AT THIS.

YOU CAN SEE VIDEO CAPTURING THESE BOTTLES AND CANS TOPPLING OFF STORE SHELVES, AND THEN THE AFTERMATH HERE, HUGE CHUNKS OF GLASS FROM THE WINDOWS AT ANOTHER MARKET LITTERING THE STREET. SOME INJURIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED, BUT FORTUNATELY NO WORD OF ANY DEATHS. ALSO TONIGHT, BODE MILLER'S ATTORNEY SAYS THE DRUG POSSESSION CHARGES AGAINST HIM. WE TOLD YOU ABOUT LAST NIGHT ARE BEING DISMISSED. THE OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL WINNING SKIER POSTED HE WAS. PULLED OVER IN IDAHO FOR SPEEDING ON A HIGHWAY, AND A FRIEND WITH HIM HAD A SMALL AMOUNT OF CANNABIS AND A CANNABIS PIPE. MILLER'S LAWYER SAID THAT PASSENGER CLAIMED OWNERSHIP OF ALL DRUGS FOUND.
