ship in the past few months. >> to focus on the search and rescue effort. >> reporter: the search and rescue operation is under way for ten u.s. sailors missing after the "u.s.s. john mccain" collided with an oil tanker. off the coast of singapore. the navy says the collision occurred as the guided missile destroyer was headed towards singapore for a routine port visit. after the collision, a gaping hole seen in the "mccain's" left rear side. five sailors sustained injuries. four were medically evacuated to a singapore hospital for non-lifethreatening injuries. this is the second navy destroyer to collide with a merchant vessel in the pacific in two months. >> it's hard to understand how we could have another -- another collision between two very sophisticated navy ships in this part of the world. >> reporter: back in june, seven sailors lost their lives when the "u.s.s. fitzgerald" collided with a much larger cargo ship. off the coast of japan. last week, the navy relieved the

according to an nbc/marist poll, in michigan, only 36% of registered voters say they approve of his performance. in pennsylvania, just 35%. that number fell to 34% in wisconsin. u.s. and south korean troops have begun annual drills as north korea warns of rising tensions. the 11-day training session follows north korea's recent ballistic missile test. and a sharp exchange of words between president trump and kim jong-un. the north calls the drills a reckless invasion rehearsal. well, back here at home, we are counting down to the first north american eclipse in nearly 40 years. >> we're now just hours away. thousands are camped out. in oregon for the best view. >> and officials are bracing for what could be the worst traffic jam in u.s. history as millions converge on the path of totality, that 70-mile-wide band that will experience darkness in the middle of the day. a band that stretches from oregon to south carolina. marci gonzalez joining us from

lincoln city, oregon. where the mayor of that town says he has procured every outhouse he could get his hands on for the big event. good morning, marci. >> reporter: good morning, kendis and lynda. this is the first place that anyone in the country will be able to see this. the total eclipse will be visible here. just after 10:15 this morning. and then for the next hour and a half, the moon's shadow will move east, wowing millions of people along the way. the wait is finally over. >> whoo! >> reporter: for the great american eclipse. >> this is a life-changing experience. >> reporter: from oregon. >> this is going to be one of the prime locations. >> reporter: to south carolina. >> i'm going to put a pitch for charleston. because we're the last place. we're also the best place. >> reporter: all eyes protected by those essential eclipse glasses turning upward today. for this long anticipated celestial show. >> not until august 21, 2017,

chance to see an eclipse in the u.s. until 2024. kendis and li lynda? >> marci gonzalez, thank you. >> i think marci will be thankful when the sun comes out and it warms up there. 50 degrees in lincoln city. now for a look at your eclipse day weather. summer storms could affect your chances of seeing the total eclipse. the oregon coast may have low clouds at the start. as marci mentioned. there may be haze and smoke from western wildfires. conditions close to ideal in missouri and tennessee. but there could be thunderstorms in the southeast by the time the eclipse reaches that area. hurricane kenneth will stay out to sea, as a category 3. it doesn't pose a threat to land. it's expected to weaken tomorrow.

eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. my challenge is to be in sync with my body, myself, my life. it all starts with a healthy routine. begin the activia two week probiotic challenge by enjoying activia yogurt with billions of probiotics everyday. take the activia probiotic challenge!

it will be in the mid 60s to low 70s with the clouds returning at 7:00 i'll see you in two minutes with the eclipse forecast. >> we're starting off with an issue in the fremont area. a vehicle fire taking up two lanes. northbound 880 around auto mall parkway, sounds like everyone is out of the vehicle okay. we haven't heard word of injuries or other vehicles involved. i'll keep a close eye on that. we'll take a look at heavy traffic already out of the tracy area coming up in less than ten. that breaking news now, at least one person is dead after a car plowed into two bus stops in the french port city of marseil marseille. it was stolen and rammed into the first bus stop, hitting and hurting a man, then it rammed into a second bus stop, killing a woman. they arrested the driver. french media reports the driver as having psychological

know. it's not good news. look at the cloud cover at 10:15. it's pretty much barely out of the east bay valleys and the south bay and the napa valley. everybody else is going to be pretty cloudy. there may be a few breaks in the cloud cover, but it's definitely going to be mostly cloudy. same at the coast. as we head to 11:35 when it's over, yeah, that's when a lot of clouds start to clear out of the bay and then the cost is still going to remain cloudy. my advice, you have to head deep inland, deep south, or up above at least 2400 feet. >> thanks, mike. taking a look at the roads this morning, a live look outside at golden gate bridge. we have one vehicle heading southbound on 101. really light traffic volumes. i haven't seen lane closures. you're doing all right so far this morning. slight delays building out of tracy. you're in the yellow, up to
