2:50Thank you.

3:17Army soldier was arrested in the U.K. today, accused of spying for Russia. We're covering it all, but Courtney Kuby starts us off from Capitol Hill with that failed impeachment vote tonight. Moments ago, the House rejecting impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Republicans uniting to block them from moving forward, following Hegseth's fiery rebuke of the outgoing congressman who introduced them, Thomas Massey, a fierce critic of President Trump, who was defeated in a Republican primary. What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight. And it's not accountability.

3:54It's a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment. It's a farce and it's a stunt. And everybody knows it. The charges Massey alleged included waging the Iran war without congressional approval, illegally targeting suspected drug traffickers and kidnapping Venezuela's authoritarian leader, Nicolas Maduro. We destroyed terror regime's capabilities. We sank the boats carrying poison into our communities. We put a narco dictator in handcuffs. These are not high crimes. This is the job. But Massey says Hegseth's actions are endangering the troops. He has violated the norms of war, and it's to the disadvantage and the dishonor of our country and to the danger of our soldiers.

4:44And tonight, bipartisan criticism of Hegseth. The best thing that we could do is move him along, get somebody in there that can help. Last week, two people familiar with the discussions telling NBC News President Trump told allies he was considering replacing Hegseth. But tonight, President Trump giving him an A++ plus for his briefing performance. Courtney joins us now. And Courtney, this is not done yet. Democrats could push to impeach Seth again in January. Yeah, that's right. And remember, Democrats will have a majority in the House to pass articles of impeachment, but they'll still need some Republican votes if they want a conviction in the Senate.

5:21Tom. OK, more breaking news tonight, this time an American soldier arrested and charged with spying for Russia. Kelly O'Donnell has the late details. Tonight, a developing espionage drama. An American soldier accused of spying for Russia, jailed in the United Kingdom. A member of the U.S. Army arrested near Gloucester. The U.K.'s Metropolitan Police announced the arrest of a 41-year-old but have not named the American, charged under British law for handling secrets and assisting a foreign intel operation. The U.S. Army described the detained American as a senior soldier, while three people familiar with the matter tell NBC News the soldier was based at NATO's Allied Rapid Reaction Corps.

6:07Also tonight, more about a separate scheme in the U.K., with new charges in a foiled potential terror plot against U.S. forces there, all tied to the Iranian regime. and involving multiple suspects, including a designated terrorist commander, Iraqi citizen Mohammed al-Sadi, who, despite being held in an American prison cell, allegedly passed coded messages during phone calls with relatives in Iraq, including for Mohammed Ali al-Hassani, seen here allegedly looking at a map of London for potential terror targets, with attacks happening soon after, including on Jewish groups. According to charging documents today, al-Hassani also took part in a disrupted terror plot at Britain's Royal Fairford Base, where U.S.

6:55troops are stationed. Tonight, a U.S. official says several American military aircraft left another British base as security measures to protect U.S. troops have increased. Tom? Kelly O'Donnell for us. And there's another major development there in Washington tonight, a shakeup in Republican leadership. Ryan Nobles joins us now live. And Ryan, this all comes following that GOP wipeout in the midterms. Yeah, that's right, Tom. Republicans are looking to regroup with Democrats set to take control. In the House, Republicans picked the former Freedom Caucus chair Jim Jordan as their new leader. On the Senate side, the top Republican John Thune kept his job.

7:32All this as two key races have not been called. Today was the deadline in Mississippi for absentee and mail-in ballots to be received. The Democrat Scott Colom has a narrow lead. And in Alaska, Democrat Mary Peltola has a narrow lead over the Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. Peltola's campaign, of course, facing a criminal investigation that they recruited another Dan Sullivan to run in this race. Tom. Ryan Nobles for us. Ryan, thank you. Now to the strong storm powering up, set to hit the Midwest, bringing intense wind and rain as a nor 'easter this week. Bill Cairns joins us now live. And, Bill, time out this one for us.

8:06Yeah, there was a lot of buzz on this storm over the last week or so. And it looks like it's going to deliver for snow in the high elevations of the Northeast, but not for the big cities. Here's the timing. We take the storm tomorrow through Chicago, Indianapolis, brief period of some heavy rain possible. Then we're going to take it to the East Coast. It gets a little bit stronger on the day Thursday. That's the worst rainy day for the New York area. Notice the snow developing up through the Catskills, heading up through the Appalachians. Areas of Vermont and also New Hampshire, the mountainous areas, are going to get snow Thursday night through Friday.

8:32Then the storm begins to exit as we go throughout Friday afternoon and evening. So what are the impacts going to be? Well, heaviest rain will be in and around the New York City area. Of course, the leaves are down, could clog the drains. As far as snow goes, we could see the potential of over six inches in the highest peaks of the Green Mountains, the Berkshires, and a few spots there in the Catskills and the Adirondacks. All right, Bill, we'll keep an eye all week on that one. Shares of tech giant NVIDIA fell today as that company is dealing with its CEO admitting to an affair that U.S. intelligence agencies believe was with a Chinese spy.

9:01And we're learning more about when President Trump was warned about the scandal. Brian Chung has the new details. Tonight, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's affair with an alleged Chinese spy driving more losses for the tech giant, the stock sliding 5.5%. NVIDIA's board today announcing former acting U.S. attorney Jun Kim will lead the independent investigation into Huang's affair and if company or national security secrets were compromised. And we're going through the single largest infrastructure build-out in human history. Huang, a key figure in the artificial intelligence boom, has long been a close advisor to President Trump, who is publicly defending the CEO.

9:36Tonight, the New York Times reports that according to people with knowledge of the matter, in May, President Trump was told on Air Force One while en route to China that Huang was in a relationship with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy. The message coming from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Huang initially not on the trip was invited by President Trump to join and met Air Force One at a refueling stop in Alaska. Tonight, Huang's reputation as a CEO with total control over NVIDIA is coming under fresh scrutiny. Number one obligation of a board of directors is succession planning. And you always have to have that envelope in the drawer with the name of somebody who could take over today in case of emergency.

10:13And they don't have that. And more is being learned about Alice Huang, the woman who also goes by Huang Li, and at the center of an international scandal. She is believed to be a former TV reporter who pivoted to a business career. The New York Times, citing corporate documents, reports she used a Singaporean shell company to start a data center company called Megaspeed. The Times said that company sidestepped an American ban on NVIDIA chip sales to China. The Department of Justice now conducting a criminal investigation into Megaspeed and Alice Huang, according to a source familiar with the matter.

10:43All right, Brian Chung joins us now live in studio. So NVIDIA is going to launch their own investigation. They have somebody with a serious resume and reputation leading that investigation. Yeah, Jun Kim has a history of investigating powerful people from politicians to mobsters, matters from economic espionage to sanctions violations. And Tom, experts that I spoke with said the outcome of that investigation is going to be key to Jensen Huang's future at NVIDIA. OK, Brian, good to see you here. Thank you. New video just in tonight of former President Biden look closely facing violent protests while traveling abroad.

11:13Protesters in Dublin throwing objects at the former president as security shields his car with umbrellas. You can see him and his son, Hunter Biden, trying to get into their car there. At least two people were arrested in the incident. Biden was there to support his son, who was at Trinity College, getting an award. The former president just announced plans to scale back a book tour as he battles cancer. OK, back here at home to an unexpected twist in the criminal case against Thomas Markle Sr. He's now back in custody after trying to remove his ankle monitor. Jesse Kirsch reports. Tonight, Megan Markle's estranged father accused of cutting off his ankle monitor.

11:51It allegedly happened at 145 this morning with federal law enforcement arresting him. In a 13-minute hearing in Tampa this afternoon, a federal judge revoking Thomas Markle Sr.'s pretrial release and ordering him detained pending the resolution of this case. On Friday, the 82-year-old was charged with one count of possession of child pornography after the FBI says investigators discovered suspected child sexual abuse material. Markle has previously denied possessing that type of material. The courtroom cracked down coming the same day Megan made her first public appearance since her estranged father's arrest.

12:28The consequences of social media have been felt by many in houses, in schools, all around the world. Alongside her husband, Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex was in Brussels for an event focused on children's online safety. Meghan was reportedly supposed to speak, but canceled her remarks. And back here in the U.S., during today's hearing, Thomas Markle Sr. denied violating the terms of his release. But as of now, he will remain detained. Tom. All right, Jesse Kirsch, when we return in 60 seconds, our award-winning series, The Vaccine Divide, our brand new data on how low measles vaccination rates have fallen.

13:08The mother whose eight unvaccinated kids all got sick, but why she tells us she has no regrets. Plus, the fiery car rescue caught on an officer's body cam, and it's not the first time he saved the day. And where Billy Joel is returning to the stage after brain surgery, we'll tell you.

14:45We're back now with our investigative report, the vaccine divide and the stunning surge of measles cases across the U.S., now at a 35-year high. Measles cases have made such a return that the Pan American Health Organization could remove the U.S.'s elimination status this week. Aaron McLaughlin traveled to hard-hit Pennsylvania to find out what's going on. Over the summer in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the epicenter of a deadly measles outbreak, all eight of Gina King's children came down with the virus, including her son Bryson, who was so sick he had to be rushed to the hospital. It was something that can kind of be scary because there's so many unknowns.

15:25And even the doctor's offices haven't seen very much of it for a long time. All eight of the children unvaccinated. As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by... Something Gina and her husband Sean say they decided for religious and health reasons. There is the vaccine, and the vaccine is very effective. My husband and I, when we started having children, we had that conversation. We did a lot of research, reading. we were more comfortable with not vaccinating. I mean, when you look back at this entire ordeal, do you have any regrets? I don't. As odd as this sounds, I feel like it was a bonding time for our family.

16:04It's never pleasant to be sick, and I certainly wouldn't wish it on anyone. While the King family says they self-quarantined to avoid spreading the virus to others, Lancaster County has reported more than 500 cases of measles in the past few months, a likely undercount, according to doctors. Vaccination rates there have been falling at what health experts say is an alarming rate, from above 95 percent in 2017 to 88 percent in the last year. I'm seeing babies who are suffering or in pain, who are struggling to breathe or who can't take a bottle. I'm seeing kids that have encephalitis and you're not able to recognize their own mom or their own dad.

16:40With six measles-related deaths now reported across Pennsylvania, Dr. Evan Shirey, a pediatric infectious disease specialist near Lancaster, says misinformation is fueling the outbreak. The vaccine is extremely safe and extremely effective. We are seeing this outbreak now because of a failure to vaccinate. An NBC News investigation shows the decision not to vaccinate is becoming more common across the country. Our team, working with researchers at Stanford University, analyzed school immunization data from every state. Since 2019, 82 percent of counties and jurisdictions in the U.S. have reported declines in childhood MMR vaccination rates.

17:17Fifty-seven percent saw a drop in just the last year. A national trend, experts say, is fueled by backlash to COVID mandates, online misinformation and prominent vaccine skeptics. Lauren Shoup and her family live outside of Pittsburgh. I'm tired, baby. Lauren's baby, Kieran, is too young to be vaccinated. I just felt a little bit of anger towards the public at large because we're not doing what we can to protect those that can't protect themselves. Two months ago, Lauren got the call that Kieran had been exposed to measles during a doctor's visit. It's scary. It's devastating. Two months is just such a fragile age because measles can be deadly for babies.

17:56Absolutely. I mean, we're relying on the community to make good choices. Lauren said she was told Kieran needed to quarantine for weeks and received an injection of protective antibodies. Now that Karen's cleared for daycare, Lauren's counting down the months until she's old enough to get the vaccine. It's frightening because she's still very susceptible. While Lauren and others say they're living in fear, Dr. Shirey says he's bracing for the outbreak to get worse as winter sets in. Are you concerned that more will die because of this outbreak? Yeah, it's nearly a certainty that we will continue to see more fatalities.

18:30Very scary when you hear put that way. Aaron joins us now. Aaron, our investigation found that much of the country is now below the vaccine threshold recommendation. That's right, Tom. Three quarters of all U.S. counties fall below that very critical 95 percent threshold required for herd immunity. Now, if you want to know what's happening in your county, log on to NBC News dot com forward slash vaccine divide. All right, Aaron, we thank you for that. We're back in a moment with inflation rising even as gas prices fall. And the ultramarathon on ice, how one humanoid robot fared against humans.

20:16It went just below$4 a gallon for the first time since July. Inflation, meanwhile, remains high, rising 0.4 % in October. And other consumer categories rising as well, including fruits and vegetables. The price of smartphones also rising because of the artificial intelligence boom. And a daring rescue from California all caught on a police officer's body cam. It happened in Davis, and you can see the officer sprinting towards that car with flames shooting out of it. He breaks the window and tries to revive the driver who's passed out. He manages to get him out. It's the officer's second time saving someone from a burning car.

20:51The piano man Billy Joel is making his official return to the stage since having brain surgery this year. The singer announced on social media that he's expected to do a Q &A with a little music at Florida Atlantic University for the students there. They look forward to seeing him back on stage soon. And in Antarctica, a humanoid robot called Quester testing its endurance. It joined runners taking part in the Antarctica Ice Ultramarathon in freezing conditions. Yes, there is a race there. They ran up to 100 miles, but Quester's race ended after just two miles when its battery ran out, the robot taking a well-earned break to recharge here after the race.
