talk about what we're going to do on the next show. we'll have a few beers and we'll talk about music, movies we love, and what's the most [ muted ] thing we can do next week. trucked up. did i say trucked up? protesters in hong kong face a government ultimatum. disperse by monday or else. we're live from the scene where crowds remain camped out, some for over a week. remembering a man known as a selfless aid worker, killed by isis. we visit alan henning's hometown where community leaders and friends are numb with grief. and later this hour, brick by toy brick, life-sized artistic masterpieces, all created with legos. hello and welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. you're watching cnn. i'm natalie allen.

we begin with the latest news out of the pro-democracy protests in hong kong. a student group has just released a statement, setting its conditions for talks with the government. you may remember, the activists had pulled out of planned talks after they claimed authorities stood by as they were attacked by counter demonstrators. for more, let's go live to hong kong where our kyung la has the latest for us and it seems like both sides are digging in. >> and patience is certainly wearing thin across this protest area. you have people clashing against each other over the weekend. what we're seeing here now, you may hear someone speaking over a mega phone. that's actually a man, standing on top of a bridge here, right over the occupy movement, where people are gathering below. you can see people are looking up towards that man. we're not going to show you that man. he's been sitting and standing up there for the better part of an hour. we now understand that one of

the student leaders who he's demanded to speak with has arrived and is talking with police. and there may be a negotiation to try to talk him off the bridge. but certainly it's emblem attic of how patience has run thin among many of the people. this man said he's tired of the occupy movement. he wants hong kong to go back to normal, his kids to go back to school. but the protesters say they're going to stay here especially as the monday deadline is looming. no one knows exactly what's going to happen if the government's going to come in and try to clear people out. or if they're simply threatening that deadline to try to encourage people to go home. natalie? >> it will be interesting to see, because they have for the most part maintained the peace while people have stood out there, wanting change. we keep talking about student protesters, kyung, but there have been workers as well, and people participating, who aren't so young as the ones that we keep pointing out, correct?

>> yes, but the great majority of the people out here, if you look at the age group, it's predominantly young people, and the hard-core people tend to be be younger. but yes, you're right, there are a number of people who are out here. you can see people in their 40s. and one of the leaders of the one of the protest movements is in his 70s. he's a pastor. so there are a number of people out here saying that when they want is more rights for hong kong. they want to be able to decide who their leaders are, and they do not want those shots to be called from beijing. >> and again, as we see the hours tick on, and more people likely to fill the streets, the question is, how will police respond? because they've been in awkward positions for the past few days. >> reporter: you may remember what happened last weekend when the police came in and they

tried to tear gas some of the students, students and protesters, tried to get them off the streets. that eventually ended up backfiring, because it brought the ordinary person from hong kong out here to protest. the numbers swelled, and in light of what happened over the weekend, where there were scuffles between pro and anti-occupy people in another part of hong kong. the numbers out here last night were extraordinary. they were as big, if not quite as big, but certainly bigger than we've seen in the last few days or so. so the government certainly, very well aware that when they try to make a strong-arm tactic, try to execute that tactic, it certainly does backfire on them. so they are threatening, though, and saying very seriously that there is a deadline for monday. >> and we have this man on the bridge. i see you still looking over there to see if he is safe.

he's perhaps a lone emblem of the people who are really, really tired of these protests going on, and stopping so much of hong kong in its tracks. >> and you hear that, especially as the holiday has come and gone, and the shop owners have not been able to make what they normally make. at the same time, though, when i got into my taxi yesterday, my taxi driver said he was losing money, but he wanted the protesters to stay out here for the ultimate goal of democracy. so that hong kong does not feel like a branch of beijing. so a lot of people out here, yes, some of them are getting frustrated. patience is absolutely wearing thin. but there are many people in hong kong who are still behind this protest movement. >> all right, kyung la watching developments there for us in hong kong, thank you. the parents of american aid worker peter kassig are pleading

with isis to release their son. the former u.s. soldier was kidnapped in syria last october. and isis says he's next, as far as who they will kill. in a youtube video posted saturday, kassig's parents urged his captors to release him. >> please know that we are all praying for you and your safe return. most of all, know that we love you, and our hearts ache for you to be granted your freedom so we can hug you again and then set you free to continue the life you have chosen, the life of service to those in greatest need. >> kassig founded a charity two years ago to help syrians fleeing from the country's civil war. his parents say he converted to islam while being held hostage. >> people across britain and throughout the world are mourning the death of alan henning, he is the aid worker

whose beheading is scene in a video released on friday by isis. carl penhall is in his hometown near manchester. >> for alan henning, time has slipped away. outside the taxi company where he worked, rain falls on silent flower tributes. >> it's always great to see what you see what's needed get to where it needs to go. >> reporter: he was on a mission when he was kidnapped. he was the only non-muslim on the humanitarian convoy. his muslim friends prayed for him saturday. community leaders are enraged. the killing of alan henning was a cowardly and appalling act of brutality by a group who do not

represent islam at all, and in fact are an insult to the islamic faith. >> frien >> his friend stayed back at the border while henning volunteered to push ahead into syria where help was badly needed. >> we cannot comprehend that something so terrible could happen to such a wonderful and compassionate human being. the world lost an honorable and remarkable hero yesterday. >> henning's fellow aid workers believe parliament's decision just over a week ago to authorize bombing in iraq may have triggered their friend's slaughter. >> by joining the u.s. air strikes, we handed alan and many other western hostages a death sentence. >> down the street where henning shared a home with his wife and two teenage children, mourners leave flowers, despite the rain. a statement from the cabbie's family. it's the news we hoped we would

never here. as a family, we're devastated by the news of his death. all of alan's family and friends are numb with grief. across town on main street, more flowers. >> as the hours go by, the pile of flowers just grows and grows. many of them with a message. this one, alan, you made yourself, your family, and your friends proud. this one, to a very special man with a heart of gold. that message reminds me of a conversation i'd had two weeks ago with his friend and fellow aid worker. i asked her how we should remember henning. >> just that smile. and his beautiful, beautiful golden heart. >> carl penhall now joins us live from manchester, and your story there, karl, certainly emotionally illustrates how this community is grieving his loss.

and interesting that the muslim community and the non-muslim community are both speaking out about this horror. >> absolutely, natalie. that is because here in the northern part of england, these communities are multicultural. they don't always get on together. sometimes there are divisions within the community, of race and religion. but in the case of alan henning, he worked with muslims and it was friends and neighbors of his that said, alan, why don't you come with us? you're a driver, come with us, help take this aid to syria. he didn't have to do anything. we didn't have to take any risks. he could have done like the rest of us, sat at home on the sofa and maybe given a donation. but no, he decided to respond to his neighbors' calls and go and help the people of syria and this is how it's ended. >> in the worst way.

we saw imams there speaking out against isis in mosques and speaking in support of a westerner. is that unusual? >> i think it certainly demonstrates the place that alan henning has found in the entire community's heart. i think what the image was saying, in looking at his friends, there are two things. first of all, they are absolutely outraged about what isis has done. that is because over the last days and weeks, they've consistently sent appeals to isis, appealing to their islamic principles, talking to them in a language that they can understand, saying, do not do this. alan henning came to syria under a bond of trust. that is the bond of trust that muslims have. if they take you in to their territory, then they also feel responsible for getting you back. and so they feel it was a bond

of trust there that isis did not allow them to keep. but on the other hand, what the image and alan's muslim friends were saying is that they do also disagree with britain's foreign policy right now. they do not believe that britain should be getting involved in u.s.-led air strikes. they also believe that britain could have followed perhaps turkey's example, found a real line of communication into isis, and perhaps dialogue, negotiated some way out of this hostage crisis, natalie. >> all right, karl penhaul live from manchester. speaking of turkey, that's the headline of our next story involving isis. kurdish forces say they're holding back militants in the syrian town of kobani. one kurdish fighter says isis controls the southwestern corner of the city, but his soldiers held off further advance. meantime, turkish security forces used tear gas and water cannons to try to keep people from crossing the border into syria to join the fight against

isis. kurdish forces have asked for help from kurds across the region. so a very complex situation continuing to evolve there on the border between syria and turkey with the kurds caught in the middle. still to come here, from serious to critical. we'll have the latest on the condition of the first person diagnosed with ebola. his condition, worsening. ♪ [ female announcer ] with five perfectly sweetened whole grains... you can't help but see the good.

welcome back to our special coverage. the first person diagnosed with ebola in the u.s. is fighting for his life. eric duncan is now in critical condition. the liberian native is currently isolated in a dallas hospital. he was diagnosed with the virus last tuesday after arriving from liberia two weeks ago. texas officials say nine people who came into direct contact with duncan are showing no symptoms. good news there. another 40 people are being monitored but are considered low-risk. new jersey officials have ruled out ebola as the cause of

a man's illness on a flight from belgium, but not before a stressful experience for his fellow passengers. the 255 people on board the newark-bound plane were quarantined inside the aircraft for more than 90 minutes with little communication about what was going on after this man on board began vomiting. one passenger explained to us the confusion. >> we were trapped like mice, you know, instead of seeing the process from the very beginning. we just let us go out of the plane. then after the plane, we had to wait at the passport control. and then to passport control and then wait for the luggage, and each time it was like a mouse. you're trapped and you don't know what's happening. so no information, no reason why we are to wait like that. >> well, good news, that man was not apparently infected with

ebola. an american patient who was previously treated for ebola is now in isolation at a massachusetts hospital. richard sackra was admitted saturday with a cough and fever. he contracted the virus, you may recall, while working in liberia, but recovered after receiving treatment in nebraska. doctors say it's highly unlikely his infection has returned, but we'll keep watching that. health officials in the u.s. are under fire for how they've handled the ebola crisis. the white house says the government is ready to do what's necessary to prevent ebola from spreading. >> reporter: with alarm growing over a potential ebola outbreak in the u.s., president obama sent out top officials to reassure the country. >> the united states is prepared to deal with this crisis, both at home and in the region. >> our health care infrastructure in the united states is well equipped to stop

ebola in its tracks. >> the white house trying to show it has the situation under control, after heated criticism that local health officials in dallas first sent ebola patient thomas eric duncan, visiting from liberia, back home, before his family brought him back. that gap between care causing concern the disease could spread. >> there were things that did not go the way they should have in dallas. but there were a lot of things that went right. the cdc is tracing any contacts duncan had, essential to preventing an outbreak. but as of now, the obama administration is not considering increased screening for passengers coming into the u.s. or banning travelers from hard-hit nations in west africa, relying on screening by those countries. >> the most effective way to control this is to prevent those individuals from getting on a plane in the first place. >> even as they sought to calm americans' concerns, officials acknowledge they need to do more. >> we're having the press

conference, because we need to get information out, because there is a lot of fear. >> we cannot overcommunicate about this issue. >> aaron mcpike, cnn, the white house. kim jong-un has not made a public appearance in one month, raising speculation about the north korean leader's health. but north korea denies its leader is having any health problems, that's according to south korea's state news agency. kim may be out of sight, but three top north korean officials made an appearance in south korea saturday. the surprise visit led to a proposal to hold high-level talks between the rivals by early november. >> it's a journey every muslim must make in their lifetime. the hajj. coming up, the pilgrimage to the holy city ends this weekend, but why is the saudi government banning some from entering?

look at the throngs of people there. some three million muslims have made the sacred trek to meccas had the hajj pilgrimage is in his final stage this weekend. nearly two million perform pd the stoning the devil ritual. it's part of the festival that includes the sacrifice of animals and signals the culmination of the hajj

gathering. but not all muslims were able to make the trip this year. reports say the saudi arabian government banned travelers from ebola-stricken countriecountrie. >> people are also celebrating, but for those who have fled their homes in iraq and syria, there's little to be happy about. we spoke with some young syrians who say they don't know if they'll ever celebrate eid again. >> here in the heart, people are out celebrating the eid holiday. for decades, this country with little resources has opened its doors to those fleeing unrest across the region. over recent years, this country has had to deal with a massive influx of refugees from iraq and syria. now, the majority of these refugees are not living in

camps. they are in cities like here in iman. here, we came across this group of young syrians, celebrating eid away from home is not the same, they say. >> it feels hard. we are not living in our hometown. there's no eid here. to us. i mean, what if i ask you, if you lost your mother and father and your friends, where you live, your home, you lost everything, you feel no eid. >> 21-year-old ibrahim says it's impossible to return home any time soon. maybe another ten years, he says. but we have hope. we should have hope until our last living breath. until then, the streets are safe and offer a festive mood far from the reality at home. >> certainly understand refugees not feeling like celebrating.

well, we now move to japan, because that country is feeling the effects right now of a super typhoon which we've been hearing about, and your map behind you says it all. >> that's true. technically not a super typhoon. it's actually a typhoon and we have some updated information which is good news. because we've actually lowered the sustained winds and as it edges closer and closer to the mainland of japan, this is welcome news for sure. this is the eyewall of typhoon phanfone, you can see the circle at the sencht of the storm. this is perpendicular to theback sheema island to the east. where we have the stronger rain bands at the moment. look at the rain bands stretching from the southwestern sections of japan to tokyo.

two locations watching the storm closely. this is what it looks like, down tount tokyo. ominous looking conditions. we're expecting the strongest of winds to impact the tokyo region by rush hour monday morning, right through the middle part of the day. so definitely take precautions ahead of that. these are some of the latest images coming out of the grand prix in suzuka. the safety car out in front of the race for the majority of the start, and you can see the reason why. this forecast has recently been updated, and again, the windy conditions will only continue to get worse across this area. we're expecting wind gusts in excess of 80 to 90 kilometers per hour. so it's going to get rather uncomfortable across the suzuka area. and the big question still remains, how are they going to pack up these vehicles and make

them travel to sochi, russia, where the next formula 1 stop is next weekend? you can see the rain totals out of the storm already. 224 millimeters. we're expecting upwards of 225 millimeters near tokyo before it's all said and done. we'll be monitoring the storm very closely in the world weather center. for now, back to natalie. >> a drenching for sure. derek, thank you. coming up here, a father and son in hong kong find themselves on opposite sides of the pro-democracy protests. and they weren't the only ones. we'll have more on how age is driving the divide on the streets. two medium cappuccinos!

let's show 'em what a breakfast with whole grain fiber can do. one coffee with room, one large mocha latte, medium macchiato, a light hot chocolate hold the whip, two espressos. make one a double. she's full and focused. [ barista ] i have two cappuccinos, one coffee with room, one large mocha latte, a medium macchiato, a light hot chocolate hold the whip, and two espressos -- one with a double shot. heh, heh. that's not the coffee talkin'.

welcome back to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. i'm natalie allen at cnn center. our top stories this hour, pro-democracy demonstrators in hong kong are being told they have until monday morning to clear out their protest camps. but so far, no indications they plan to abide by that deadline set by authorities. the activists are continuing to demand elections in which

candidates are not preapproved by beijing. mosques in the uk are mourning british aid volunteer alan henning, a taxi driver kidnapped last year while delivering food and medical supplies to syrian war victims. he's the fourth western hostage beheaded on video camera by isis. the condition of the first person diagnosed with ebola in the united states has slipped now from serious to critical. he's getting worse. thomas eric duncan is currently isolated in a dallas hospital. the liberian native arrived in texas on a flight from liberia two weeks ago upon. two generations, two different viewpoints. in hong kong, look at the faces of the protesters and the counter protesters, and you'll see a noticeable age difference between the two sides. senior international correspondent ivan watson looks at what that means at home and

on the streets. >> the young people of hong kong aren't listening to their elders. and their pro-democracy sit-in is quickly turning into a generational dispute. it's put student protesters, increasingly at odds with older critics. take, for example, francis and harold li, father and son are on opposite sides of the barricades, but still able to sit down for a cup of coffee. >> my son, he's young, and of course he's full of ideas. >> li's 19-year-old son harold spent four days occupying downtown hong kong, part of what he calls a fight for the freedom of speech. >> i do not want to lose it. i lived in beijing before. and they don't want to fight for freedom there because it's dangerous.

i don't want to see that happening in hong kong. >> his father calls the protesters' methods illegal. >> there are always better ways, more civil ways and lawful ways of fighting for what you want, instead of occupying the streets, disrupting other people's life. >> reporter: tempers are certainly flaring. on saturday, several dozen mostly retired police officers and civil servants staged their own peaceful protest against the protesters. >> the night before, things between the two sides turned much more ugly. at the encampment m hong kong' gritty district, with dozens of people arrested and injured in clashes. frances worries the protests could spread chaos. >> what i do not want to see is the result to force and to violence. >> his son believes his father's

generation is still traumatized by the bloody event of a quarter century ago. >> they saw what happened in tiananmen square and they think that it's quite -- it's nearly impossible to get any response or positive response at least from the china government. and we younger people, they might say we are more naive. they might say we are just dreaming, but we do think it is worth fighting for. >> reporter: there certainly are plenty of dreamers here. like it or not, their youthful idealism has triggered the greatest political upheaval the city has seen in a generation. ivan watson, cnn, hong kong. u.s. vice president joe biden is apologizing for comments he made about turkish president erdogan. during an appearance at harvard university thursday, he said erdogan admitted his country

made mistakes allowing foreign fighters to cross into syria. mr. erdogan denied ever making the comment and demanded an apology. saying otherwise, biden would become, quote, history to me. erdogan is not known for taking criticism very well. biden's spokeswoman said biden called the turkish president and apologized and the two t countrs confirmed their commitment to fighting isis. there's concern isis is gaining presence in the united states is supporters are making their presence known online. >> reporter: the pictures aren't hard to find on social media. this man, who's facebook page posts a picture of himself wearing an isis logo on his shirt. >> the posts on social media demonstrate there are certain growing levels of support for isis in the united states.

>> reporter: dozens of americans who support isis online were profiles by a news site. no names were revealed. but a college student in texas has a website page filled with isis banners, propaganda videos and portraits of isis leader baghda baghdadi. he posted this picture of isis next to a koran and american flag. an fbi spokesperson tells cnn the bureau is aware and looking into it. then this tweet, we are here, america, near our target. >> it's gone to play off of, that isis is everywhere, they can reach their enemies. >> reporter: many of these people could be posers. >> just because one is posting, it doesn't mean they're going to launch an attack. it just means that they could be what is referred to as fan boys.

but there are serious social media connections. the most popular facebook page for isis is run by an imam. sheikh berrageil, giving a sermon on youtube. he has spoken in highly charged anti-american sermons. we could not reach jeb ril for comment. law enforcement officials tell cnn they're grappling with how to pursue isis social media connections in america. >> it's very difficult, you know, you have to monitor every account. you have to monitor every social media post, every tweet. and then you have to basically investigate and see, is this for real? or is it not? >> analysts say the online isis supporters in america that they're worried about, are not the ones who are posting messages and pictures on the web, but the ones remaining quiet, who are quietly contacting recruiters and

clerics who they have access to to social media. brian todd, cnn, washington. ahead here, brazil's presidential election. just who can take on rus ef? we'll have the latest polls. ♪ [ female announcer ] with five perfectly sweetened whole grains... you can't help but see the good.

in a few hours, voters will begin casting their ballots in brazil's presidential election, but it remains unclear who dilma

rousseff's biggest challenge will be. second place favorite could be falling behind according to polls. plenty of twists and turns before the voting has even begun. >> brazilians head to the polls on sunday to elect the next president of the world's seventh largest economy. and they got 11 candidates to choose from, but there are some clear front-runners, starting with dilma rousseff. number two in the polls is also a woman, marina silva, for the socialist party. right behind her. now the big topic of this election is the economy. that's because on the one hand, brazil entered a recession on the first half of the year and many of the country's poorest are worried about maintaining the subsidies they get under the current government. other big topics, rising crime and the poor state of schools and hospitals. listen to this. >> translator: i think we need

more security, education. >> translator: i think the big concern for brazilians in this election is inflation. >> reporter: brazilians will elect state governors, regional and national lawmakers and they'll use modern voting machines like this one, that means we'll have the result within an hour or two of polls closing, but it doesn't necessarily mean we'll know who the next president is. according to polls, rousseff has a comfortable lead, but not enough to get more than 50% of the vote. that means it will go to a run-off vote with the top two candidates. given all the twists and turns of this campaign, it's too soon to predict who the winner will be. the catholic bishops and priests from around the world are in rome to discuss the church's teachings on family life. the issues on the table range from same-sex marriage to

divorce. we're live from rome with details and these are issues we hear often, causing dissension in the catholic church and they're taking it on, for what reason now, delia? >> natalie, this has been a top priority for pope francis since the beginning. he has spoken about the fact that he doesn't want the church to be an outdated structure that's not able to meet and speak to the real problems of families today. so what happened was last year the vatican sent out a survey to catholics around the world to see how they were living and what were their challenges. this morning, priests and bishops around the world are gathered for the opening mass of what will be a two-week-long conference to discuss the responses to that survey. many of the responses, many of the topics on the table, as you say, which the vatican is calling challenges to the family, include everything from teen mothers, polygamy, divorce,

communion for divorce and remarried catholics, same-sex unions, baptizing children of sabegs-sex unions. there's a lot of topics on the table. what they're going to do is discuss them. each participant has four minutes to discuss and then they open it up for general discussion. pope participates as well. there are also 12 married couples that will be there offering their advice and experience in married life. and throughout the two weeks, they discuss these issue rs and then at the end of it, they come up with recommendations for next year's conference alcohwhich wi take on the same thing, but come up with a few more decisive changes if there are going to be any, to some of these issues. natalie? >> pope francis showing yet again he doesn't shy away from any contentious issues within the catholic church. can we expect any concrete changes to come out of this meeting? >> what will be interesting to see this time, natalie, what are

the recommendations? because the concrete changes will be for next october, when if they are going to make any changes, that's when that will happen. however, this year, the pope sort of anticipated, he wanted a kind of interim meeting, because as we said, these are big issues and actually are creating a lot of division amongst the cardinals and the bishops here, as well as amongst catholics worldwide. so there are questions that are delicate in a certain sense, that need time and discussion, so the pope thought, we'll do an interim meeting this time around. they can make recommendations. everybody can have a year to think about it and come back to the table next october for any real changes if there are going to be them. >> delia gallagher, following that for us from rome. thank you. an ancient community in the west bank is at risk of being changed forever. israel wants bed wan families in one part of the world to relocate in order to connect an

israeli settlement with jerusalem. israeli says it's simply providing a service. ian lee reports for us from the west bank. >> reporter: it doesn't look like much, a wind-swept hilltop where sheep graze. but this is home for a family. this land means a lot to me, he tells me. we were born on this land. he's a bedouin from the desert in israeli. his family fled here during the 1948 war. jerusalem on one side. the other ma 'ale az adumin. now israel plans to connect jerusalem and this settlement, forcing hundreds of bedouin families to move once again. chris gunnis is a spokesman for the united nations. it's a mass forceable transfer,

which is a violation of international law, of the fourth geneva convention. >> israel said it's about improving the lives of the bedouins who often live with no running water. >> you're talking about people who are living in that part of the west bank which israel is legally obliged to provide services to, who are today without municipal services which we feel they are entitled to. >> and when it comes to the geneva convention -- >> nobody's being transferred from anywhere to anywhere. this is all within the west bank, within a few kilometers this way or that way. >> so you would say this is not a violation? >> 100% not at all. >> many bedouin do not want to move. living off the land is a way of life. they say they don't want to move if it's to here. this is one of the areas where the israeli government plans to relocate the bedouin. currently it's a landfill covered in trash. israel insists the land will be

made suitable for habitation. but that doesn't win over the leader in the bedouin community. he tells me, our lifestyle as a bedouin community depends on live stock. we cannot exist on this land they've designated for us. we need open spaces for our kids to play and live stock to rome. for him and the other bedouin, time is un ring out. ultimately, if they are moved, they lose more than their land, but they say, their way of life. and coming up here, american baseball fans got quite the lengthy treat saturday. how a playoff game actually ended up setting a record. plus the mona lisa in lego form. what would da vinci say about that? go inside an art exhibition made entirely of legos.

a lot of wine has fetched a lot of money is a sotheby's auction in hong kong. the sale of 114 french burgundy wine bottles set a world record for the most expensive lot of wine ever sold. going for $1.6 million. that puts the collection at roughly $1,700 per glass. some major league baseball playoff history has been made in the u.s. those stuck with the game might be celebrating with a glass or two of $1700 wine or not. probably just a beer. but the san francisco giants beat the washington nationals 2-1. but that's only part of the story. the game lasted six hours and 23 minutes. a playoff game record. a home run, thank goodness, in the top of the 18th inning, put

the giants over the top. san francisco leads the best of five series, 2-0. let's bring in derek van damme from the weather center. hopefully they have good weather for that game, because that was a long one. >> i promise you, my weather bulletin will not be six hours plus. i've got the producers in my ear, saying, rap, derek rap. >> but yet again, california dominating our weather as usual. >> got a triple threat going on. heat advisories. we have the possibilities of fires and the santa anas have been kicking in. let's talk about that first. we have been extremely hot across the southwestern sections of the united states. specifically near san francisco, los angeles, and san diego. one more day of heat before we start to feel relief from all this warm weather. temperatures today being your sunday, should soar to about a hundred degrees across a few locations. that's roughly around 38 degrees
