good morning. i'm sam brock. coming up next on "today in the bay." the new sports venue open ls its doors for the first time. fans tell us what they liked and didn't like about the experience. plus, mixed reviews about traffic and security. and another round of monsoonam moisture is set to hit the bay area, including showers to start out your workweek. this is "today in the bay." >> it is 7:00 on your sunday morning, this august 3rd. a live picture there as folks are just starting out their day.

good sunday morning. thank you for joining us. i'm sam brock. and making his return to the nbc bay area, anthony slaughter is joining us for a look at your micro climate. what can we expect? >> it's more of the same. we've been looking at a hot pattern, a lot of sunshine. it will be a blilt bit cooler because we have more clouds. that monsoon is kicking in, and we could see a stray shower, but most of that will be concentrated across the sierra today. for the time being, though, today will be a dry day. much cooler than it has been. back to the 60 hz in san francisco. you notice that fog and cloud cover for the first half of the day. as we get up to the next couple of days, the monsoon moisture is closer and closer to the bay. i think tomorrow and tuesday we have a better chance of seeing a shower in the bay area.

>> good to have you back. and there were big happenings last night. they backed up the hype with high ok tan action last night. but all eyes weren't just on the field. f from traffic and parking to game day security to the concession stands. levi stadium in santa clara were tested for the very first time. that dream, as we mentioned, finally became a reality last night. close to 40,000 fans witnessed history. judging by the fans that we spoke with, it did not disappoint. f soccer enthusiasts, sports buffs entered the stadium and took in the views. quickly taking advantage of the amenities. for a a $5 charge, some folks

skipped the lines and had runners hand deliver them the food. >> if i was there trying to refresh this, it wouldn't work at all. now here it's working. so i love this place way more than candlestick. >> it's like making history. like starting the golden gate bridge all over again. >> many fans told us having only two-thirds of what would be normal capacity for a 49ers game helped with some small hiccups, which should be cleaned up before the next game. some folks heading to last night's game were caught off a guard by a new rule being enforced. the nfl bag policy was in effect. that means most bags, backpacks and purses are not allowed inside of the stadium, sending some women or in many cases their significant others scurrying back to the cars. >> i was volunteered to take all

the purses and come back to the car for safekeeping. >> someone had to do it. he got stuck with the bags. only bags permitted are clear plastic and one gallon zip lock bags. all eyes had early reviews of the mixed bag. here's the view of the chopper before kickoff, and that would be near the stadium. most fans said they had little problem getting to the stadium. riders reported travel times of an hour to get to the stadium. longer than anticipated because of the crowds. fan who is drove said the blinking signs posted throughout the area helped them navigate around closed lanes and reach parking lots quickly. others simply followed directions directly from the 49ers website to hunt down their parking spots. >> i bought a ticket in advance. all of the instructions made it pretty quick. >> getting out of the game, well

the buzz from spectators took a different tone. many folks complained it took an hour or longer to leave the parking lot and the trains were overwhelmed with passengers. some beat traffic by going early and tailgating in parking lots where it's permitted. a number of fans we spoke to set up five hours before the game started. and all of them were excited to be there for the stadium's inaugural event. >> excited to see the new staid y um. and the enemies of the area. . >> can't you feel the venom there? one thing to keep in mind, it comes with tailgating rules including no beer kegs. those guys were breaking the rules. not lost in all the excitement of opening night, we had an

clint dempsey against the the sounders. both clubs reated opportunities to score. but in the 42nd minute they would find the back of the net for the only goal of the game. after asked how the field held up in the first contest. >> amazing all around. the crowd was so loud. it was pretty cool. >> the stadium is fantastic. i hope we can play many more games here. it's fantastic. >> 48,000 fans, i think. it was really awesome playing in all of them. and so i was thankful we got a

win. the 49ers official unveiling comes on august 17th. they arrive a month later against the chicago bears that you can watch right here on nbc bay area. everybody is looking forward to super bowl 50 where levi stadium will play host. that is in february of 2016. it's not just the niners. friday night lights will come to santa clara. college football also getting in on the action. and the pac 12 championship game will be played on december 5th. they will host the san francisco

bowl before the new year on december 6th. and last night proof that it's not just for football. the stadium will host wrestle mania in march. a week later, motorcycles take a spin around levi more the monster energy super cross. a little something for everybody. if you haven't had your fill just yet, head to our website. you'll find the levi stadium guide in full details. coming up, a peninsula city on edge this morning. the latest hunt for the man who exposed himself at a local playground. plus, a sunscreen warning. does spf really protect you? we'll look at the facts in the reality check. stay tuned.

7:11 on your sunday morning. f a beautiful picture to start your day. that is actually san jose. we'll get a live image of the golden gate bridge. not surprisingly cloaked in some haze. a good samaritan is being credited with helping six people after their canoe capsized near the golden gate bridge. the rescuer spotteded the capsized canoe about 3:00 yesterday afternoon. he saved two people, crew members from a coast bard boat able to come in and save the other four. no injuries were reported. 20 people are temporarily

homeless after a fire damaged two buildings. crews had the fire contained within about 40 minutes. but not before it caused heavy damage to the back of one building. >> the front of these are commercials on the first floor. on top of them are residences. crews were immediately sent in to go ahead and evacuate the building. many occupants were in there. >> and the other building suffered mostly water and smoke damage. still no word yet on what started the fire, but it's not considered suspicious. for the third time in five days, san jose police are investigating a homicide. the latest one happened yesterday morning at 2:00 a.m. outside of a 7/eleven. somebody got out of the car and started opening fire after some kind of exchange with the victim in the parking lot. the victim's identification had not yet be released.

the council member who represents the districts says there are not enough police officers working on gang suppression. we're starting to see a lot of issues. and enough is enough. certainly a problem since the sub strax from the police force several years ago. police are not saying if the shooting was gang related but they have seen a recent spike in gang-related crimes. take a good look at this police sketch of a man suspected of exposing himself at a playground in palo alto. the man on the surveillance camera is the man police believe exposed himself. two women were in the park with their kids when they saw that man walk in the park and expose himself. the kids didn't notice them.

one woman alerted the other as he walked into the playground area. he didn't say anything and then he left. neighbors report the sun et ling image will make them keep a closer eye on things. >> obviously somebody behaving like that is not really socially acceptable. it's surprising because it's just a little neighborhood park. people with strange behaviors can be anywhere pretty much. >> palo alto police say the man is black, wearing a blue jean jacket and white pants. about 6'0" and 170 pounds. much more ahead coming up on "today in the bay." >> there's no comparison. you want to find a hero? talk about the parents. >> the bay area doctor who saved a little girl's life. see why he's giving her parents all the credit. here on a sunday waking up to fog and even drizzle l across the inner bay. you'll notice temperatures will be much cooler today and even tracking some showers to start

the workweek. we're back to detail that coming up after this.

a ...we need to break up. is it the biting? cuz i can stop? no! i love you and your show. it's cable. customers are more satisfied with u-verse. switch and we can stay together forever. forever? ow. i'm not gonna lie to you. it's also the biting. break up with cable. choose u-verse tv from $19 a month for 2 years.

welcome back. a nice start to your sunday morning. a little bit overcast there in san francisco. you're looking at a live picture of the soma sculpture. burning man inspired. a central valley fruit company is issuing another recall. just a if u weeks ago a recall for peaches and plums sold at trader joe's and costco. now they're recalling more yellow peaches and nectarines. the newest involves fruit sold in stores between july 20th and 31st. it could be contaminated with listeria. it only includes yellow peaches and nectarines with a sticker saying tweet 2 eat. most parents will tell you they will do whatever it takes

to ensure the health and welfare of their kids. only some parents have to back that up. garvin thomas shows us one couple who did. >> for a family with a very sick child, a place like the children's hospital in stanford can become something of a home away from home. zblf put your chest right against the plate. >> but for katie grace and her family, lucile is just the last in a string of home away from homes. the end, hopefully, to a journey her mom and dad are so glad they've taken. >> yep. >> the story starts in the home town of mankato, minnesota. where by ever account life was perfect. good job, close friends, a great church they would likely still be living there except katie grace, their younger daughter wasn't thriving like she should have. >> passing out. behind in her development. >> a surgery to repair a hole in her heart revealed the hole

wasn't fixable. and much worse. >> that she would died within a year. the only hope she had was a heart and lung transplant. and they did not do those in minnesota. >> reporter: but they do in california. and that's where they decided to trust dr. finestein with katie grace's care. they came to the bay area in 2008, living in their rv. >> it was -- there was no other decision to be made. >> they eventually landed their next in the string of homes in clayton. katie grace getting the treatment she needed, but still getting worse. in march, she went on the transplant list and last month successfully received a new heart and lungs. one of only a handful of such transplants done on children in the united states. which brings us to the next home away from home. a hotel in san carlos.

transplantations are required to stay close during follow-up care. the grovers happy to be here and to give credit o the doctors for saving their child's life. the the doctors who give it right back. >> if you look at the amount of work i do compared to the amount of work that katie grace's mom did, there's no comparison. there's absolutely no comparison. you want to find a hero? talk about the parents. they're unbelievable. >> reporter: garvin thomas, "today in the bay." >> slilt swa-- a little swampy temperatures in the recent days. what's going on in the forecast? >> changes already. you can notice a huge difference. it's all because of the monsoon that kicks in this time of year. if you live in the bay long enough, you know this happens. and you notice the the clouds streaming in from the desert

southwithest and eventually this is going to be rain for us to start off the workweek tomorrow. i do think today will be dry with the exception of tahoe. if you're doing traveling or have family and friends up there, you can run into showers and thunderstorms. most likely across the sierra where you can see the rain streaming in right now. unfortunately for us it's been too dry. everything stream this is way will get squeezed out of the atmosphere just because of high pressure keeping things dry. we don't have returns showing up just yet. but tomorrow morning we may have a few rain showers on the radar. right now very comfortable. a little fog in san francisco. even in the south bay with a good mix of sun and clouds. the deep marine layer drifted all the way to the interior valley. we've been in the 90s across many inland valleys for the past couple of weeks. all right, temperatures much more cool today.

82 in san jose. unlike the 90s we saw for the past couple of weeks. the peninsula is really where you'll see the chamber of commerce, if you will. 79 in palo alto. san francisco, you'll stay foggy for the first half of the day. even the marina district, only 67. the north bay, you'll see some warmer air. fremont at 79. and the tri-valley. this is where we're seeing 90s widespread for the past couple of weeks. the warmest temperature will be livermore at 85 and danville. now to tell you about the monsoonal showers. you'll notice the activity is down across central california. this does show showers eventually drifting over the sierra tahoe area. and then look what happens as we move towards tomorrow morning.

some of the activity drifts to the north bay. wouldn't be surprised if you wake up to a few showers in vallejo and napa. and this is light activity. i'm talking sprinkles. don't get me wrong we're not talking about a huge rain event. for tuesday the monsoonal moisture stays in place. we'll see a few areas of sprinkles as this continues to move on in. we are not talking about a big rainstorm. look at the computer model estimates. a lot of goose eggs here. u take a picture and send it to us. we haven't seen anything like this across the bay area in at least a few months. very good news. even though it won't be widespread. a few showers are expected. you'll notice the general trend through the next five days. it will be cool day. at least considering how warm it's been. 80 at san jose. 66 in san francisco. we move through the next few days and each and every day

temperatures warm up close to this 90 by friday. so take advantage of the cooler weather for today. tomorrow and tuesday, a better chance of showers in the bay area. back to you. >> thank you, anthony. do you spend much time outside in the hot summer sun? coming up next on "today in the bay", should you say no to a little sunshine? the surgeon general is sounding the alarm on skin cancer. how effective is sunscreen at blocking out dangerous ultra violate rays?

welcome back. plenty of sunshine means plenty of sunburns. recently the surgeon general warned people to be ware of a skin cancer crisis. he's cautioning people to stay out of the sun, period, if possible. in this morning's reality check,

we look at common claims about sunscreen and separate facts from fiction. >> it's summer's calling cards. a time to plunge, paddle and ply that sunscreen. after all, better safe than sorry, right? but will all that time bumming at the beach or pool take a toll on your skin, even if you are taking precushion? the surgeon general fears that could be the case. >> skin cancer rates are increasing in the country. it's become a public health crisis. >> he's dispatched an unprecedented call to action if r taking preventive measures and more dispatching claims than facts about sunscreen. claim one, wearing any sunscreen protects you from skin cancer. when you look ats the bottle and it says spf 4 or 50, that refers to how effective trz blocking uvb rays. but uva rays can also cause cancer. only buy sunscreen labeled broad

spectrum, meaning it protects against both kin. suncareen does not protect against the deadliest skin cancer, even at spf 50. the higher the spf, the more effective the sunscreen. this is partially true. an spf of 4 like this deep tanning oil only blocks about half the ultra violate radiation. spf of 15 absorbs 93%. spf 50 blocks out 90%. once you get above 50 there's no difference. so slather on all the 100 you want. you can't outlast the benefits of the other sunscreen. >> and another popular sunscreen claim, water proof lotion. f ful. the fda stated there's no such thing. no matter what brands you pick, it's important to reapply every 40 to 80 minutes and understand that sunscreen can reduce cancer

risks but it cannot prevent it. plenty still ahead on "today in the bay." coming up next, the most excitement to hit the south bay in weeks if not longer. f what fans were saying after the game. and the record drought in california scratching their heads as they look for answers.

good morning to you. it's sunday, august 3rd. we start your day off with a live picture there. another nice day to be out in the bay, as well as a quick peek of what's going on in san francisco from the embarcadero as you see a foggy transamerica building there. so much to look forward to here. but we begin with a look at your micro climate forecast with anthony, a new dad now back with us. it's great to see you.

zbr straight into august already. get my list out. let's take a look at your live radar this morning. it's getting fired up because we're tracking showers. yes, we're talking about the chance of an isolated shower possible over the next few days. today it will be a dry day in the bay area. we do have showers to the south because of the monsoon that's kicking in this time of year. you'll notice the highs will be cool from where they have been over the past couple of weeks. really no 90s in sight. comfortable along the peninsula. we are talking about the showers that i mentioned. good chance of showers in the north bay, we'll time that out in a couple of minutes. >> much needed. well, thest the south bay's most famous arena, and newest sports venue backs up the hype with high ok tan action last night. ft thousands of people packed levi stadium for the first

sporting event of the niners new home. all eyes weren't on the field. ch from traffic and parking to game day security to concession stands. they were tested for the very first time. the dream finally became a reality. close to 40,000 fans witnessed history. the opening night in the state of the art $1.3 billion stadium. judging by the fans we spoke with, it did not disappoint. they entered the stadium and took in the views. quickly taking advantage of amenities. things like free wi-fi and complimentary food ordering app which was instantly popular. for a $5 charge some folks skipped the lines, stayed in their seats and had one of dozens of available runners hand deliver food to them. >> you can beat the lines and watch the game. >> if i was at candle stick, it wouldn't work at all. i love this play way more than

candlestick. >> it's like making history. like starting the golden gate bridge all other again. >> no more aggravations. many fans told us two-thirds of what would be normal capacity for a niners game helped with small hiccups. hiccups that should be cleaned up before the first nine ers game. some fans were caught off guard by a new rule being enforced. the nfl bag policy was in effect. t that means most bags, backpacks and purses are not allowed inside the stadium. that sent some women or their significant others running back to the cars. >> my wife volunteered me to take all the purses from all the wives and come back to the car for safekeeping of the purses. >> i'm sure everybody was appreciative. the only bags allowed are nfl approved clear plastic ones and one gallon clear plastic zip lock type bags.

it was a mixed bag when it came to traffic getting in and out of the stadium. most of the traffic was of course situated near the stadium. most fans we spoke to said they had little problem getting to the stadium. they say it took an hour too get to the stadium. 20 minutes longer than anticipated. fans who drove said the blinking signs helped them navigate past closed lanes and reach their parking lots quickly. some followed directions directly from the website to get to their parking spot. >> i followed if the instructions and made it pretty quick. >> many folks complaining it took them an hour or longer to leave their parking lot and the trains were overwhelmed with passengers. let me tell you have you haven't had your fill of the coverage,

head to nbcbayarea.com. there you can find the official levi stadium guide. it includes a slide show of pictures. california's summer fires are so intense that governor jerry brown has declared a state of emergency. so far dozens have been sent to fires in the mountain range in the northern eastern part of the state, as well as a fire burning near sacramento that has forced countless evacuations. the additional forces will be a welcome addition no the hundreds of firefighters struggling to keep the blazes under control. >> right now it's portable. it rolls in and out and then we launch off to a fire. but it has the capability to do multiple missions. >> the aircraft can drop 3,000

gallons of fire retardant. crews will be operating on a week-to-week basis. we certainly wish them luck in getting that in control. for the first time ever, a patient with the deadly ebola virus is has return tods the u.s. one of his assistants is also battling that virus. yesterday brantly was thrown in for treatment. jay gray has the latest from atlanta. >> with some help, dr. kent brantly, the first ebola patient ever treatmented in the western hemisphere walked out of an ambulance and into emery hospital yesterday. >> we have a unit staffed with experts. that are really key players in understanding the practices necessary to maintain safety. not just for the unit and the other patients, but the general public as well. >> a plane specially converted for his transfer from africa landed just before noon and

police and fbi agents escorted an ambulance with dr. brant lee inside. his treatment started immediately and for the first time in weeks, dr. brantly's wife amber was able to see and hear her husband from the barricade inside the isolation unit. he was working as a medical missionary when he was infected with the deadly virus. last july, just before he left on the mission trip, he spoke at his childhood church in indianapolis. >> i knew nothing about liberia. i had never met anyone there. so how is it that less than a year later, i'd be taking my family to this far off place. god has a call on my life. >> a life that now hangs in the balance as drgs work to save their cleg colleague. >> akrostz the globe, the israeli military redeployed troops yesterday. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu suggested they would reassess military operations

after destroying tunnels across the gaza/israel border. netanyahu also said hamas would pay an intolerable price if it continues to fire rockets as israel. hamas said it will not halt the hostilities until demands are met. israel lee attacks on gaza continue into today. plumes of white smoke were seen following another series of explosions. officials say more than 1,700 palestinians and 60 ez real lees have been killed so far since fighting began nearly a month ago. much more ahead on "today in the bay." jake peevey flirts with history and the a's break out their newest editions on o.co.

francisco, winning this contest, 4-2. much more still ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, rising concerns about water worries. despite the the fact that the state is in the middle of a record drought. california lawmakers are finding it a rough road to a solution. larry gerston is joining us, telling us why they feel their hands are tied at this point. more details next.

every mercedes-benz is made with the highest level of engineering... design... safety... and performance. our latest creation is no different. with one exception... introducing the mercedes-benz b-class. it's electric! it's electric! the first electric vehicle from mercedes-benz.

in the wake of california's record drought, the state's lawmakers are asking residents to reduce consumption by as much as 20%. no serious change in behavior has emerged thus far. why is that? nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston is joining us now. politically speaking, larry, how do we get our hands around this absolute mess? >> let's start with the basics. elected officials, they're elected to enact laws and correct problems.

sounds simple enough. but in the case two governors have responsibility for managing this very precious commodity. despite the emergency, what has congress done well on this? not as much as anything else. conflicting pressuring between environmental groups and agriculture groups and tea party concerns about spending more have also entered into the fray. that takes us back to square one. back to the state. and that's where there's real hope for action. now so far, lawmakers here have been stymied, too. >> so the concession not to use 20%. that didn't work. and there are three major problems hindering the development of a comprehensive water policy. that's what we need. we need a comprehensive water policy.

first we have fractured management. of the 440 water agencies, only 276 or about 63% maintain water use record. >> don't you find that shock sng. >> shocking is an understatement. it's absolutely incredible. and in addition more than 250,000 homes and businesses in california and mostly the central valley operate without water meters. no one has any idea of how much water is being used. second, the abuse of wells. m hundreds of farmers in the central valley are making up for the shortfall in supply by drilling deep wells. now, as much as 2,000 feet, these wells are drilled. and they do this to obtain water for their crops. in 2014 dparmfarmers are going t 53% of the water from wells. that's up from 31% a few years ago. these wells are on private land, outside government control in most cases.

experts say at this rate there will be no underground water in ten years. and here's the third problem. the kind of crops we grow in california. one recent study. this blew me away. wchl almond orchards alone use 9% of the state's agriculture water. >> and we love our almonds. but that's enough water to provide the needs of 75% of the state's population other water intensive crops do the the same thing, bearing in mind agriculture uses 80% of the state's water. you can see why urban have a hard time when asked to bear the brunt of water conservations. >> and you outlined the problem. agriculture is a huge part of the economy. there needs to be oversight in making sure water gets to the farmers. so what is the long-term solution? >> if the it was easy, it would have been done already. for so many years policymakers

look the other way. they look the other way especially because of a standoff between environment alists and agriculture interests. short term and long term. short term we're talking conservation. there's no way around it. it has to be maintained and managed much better than the past. that means installing water meters and all the other accounting methods. and it also means hundreds of thousands of acres. or changing the kind of crops they grow. that's a mindset they have to develop. we're still confused over that. there will be a water bottle. this november dedicated to capturing more water to storage. it also means serious consideration of water. they are expensive to build. they are expensive to maintain. which means expensive water.

17 now in the planning process. up and down the states. the cost aside, environmental concerns must be considered here as well. it's very important. the bottom line, sam. we've looked the other way on this stuff. we looked the other way on the issue. we have to take short and long term action steps. water is a commodity we can't do without. >> if i could get you to repeat one thing. if you were to take the almond orchards and get rid of them in california, that would service 75% of the population. 75% of the state's population. and other crops as with el. we have a desert here that we're putting water into to try to grow crops. >> sounds like the farming needs are what is driving the real height of the problem. >> 80% of the water goes there.

that's why 20% of us are saying, huh? why us? >> always a pleasure to have you on. thanks so much for giving us your insight. kming up, it is back. is treasure hunt powered by local media. some lucky folks walk away with crisp hundred dollar bill. >> and we are talking about a cooling trend. you can see it in san francisco. fog and drizzle. we'll let you know what that means for your sunday forecast coming up after this. ♪

welcome back. f 7:53 is the time. we're talking about a cooler day on sunday if you're tired of the heat because of the monsoon that kicked in, you can see clouds screaming in from the south and shower activity that we'll be tracking. tomorrow morning we have a better chance of rain showers.

right now, temperatures are very comfortable because of the clouds. we're looking at the mps in the 60s. and it's a good mix of sun and clouds there. the warmest locations will be to the north bay and the tri valley. overall today temperatures will be much more comfortable. considering we were in the 90s for really a couple of weeks in a row. 82 in san jose. 79. very comfortable there. we'll hang onto the clouds and fog. 72 there in san francisco. 69 from the embarcadero. up to the north bay, if you're headed up there and enjoying wine, 83 in santa rosa. the east bay is where to see more comfortable weather. and across the tri-valley, no 90s today.

but they are heading back towards next weekend. we've been talking about the monsoon showers hanging out in southern california. for us, it's not going to be a huge rain event. i think the sierra will see a better chance of showers. for today, now for tomorrow that area drifts towards us in the bay area. i think places liblg fairfield and vallejo, you could get in on the shower activity. it's not going to be a widespread rain event. we could see a few sprinkles. f unfortunately not a huge rain event. even the computer model is only picking up on a couple of hundredths of an inch. i do think we'll see more cloud cover than anything across the sky. really going to be hard to get showers to reach the ground. the best chance will be across

the north bay. a better chance, even though it's not a whole lot. for the next few days. temperatures start to go back up. san jose, back to 80. m 66 in san francisco. you'll notice each eneafr day, temperatures go back up to 90 by the next weekend. and as we get to the next couple of months, you may been hearing about el ni no, we're going to talk about better chances of showers. hopefully our fingers are crossed. we have slaughter back in the house. we can tackle this. >> slaughter and el nino in the same sentence. several people are riper this weekend. they discovered or uncovered thousands of dollars headen in pez dispensers. this on saturday. this is the same hidden cash guy from earlier this year. he puts clues on twitter and sends people scurrying looking for buried treasure.

he said he didn't expect it to get so big. he says this will be the last bay area cash drop for some time. and now to the highlight of the morning, anthony, we know you were away for several months. there was a method. you are a new father. >> i am a new father. and we're going to show pictures now. you can see these are my boys. on the left we have alex. he's a cry baby in this picture. on the right we have matthew. and they are growing on up. and they're beautiful kids. a lot of work. it's hard having twins. but you know, i feel blessed to offer them a good life. >> which of the two has more of your likeness? >> i would say matthew. he's on the right. alex is on the left. >> the cuteness level is off the chart. you can take about a million pictures. >> yeah, just to get them to sit still and look at the the camera. they're beautiful kids. going to be quite a journey.

>> congratulations, anthony. we're all happy for you and happy to have you back. >> good to be back. >> we'll is more news for you tonight. check out nbcbayarea.com for all your news. we'll see you back then.

next on "meet the press," our focus is on the search for solutions to key crises around the u.s. and the world. the first ever known ebola patient on u.s. soil is now being treated at an atlanta hospital. what's his prognosis? and how is the u.s. government responding? i'll ask the head of the centers for disease control. no end in sight to the war in the middle east. strong backi ining for israel f president obama. plus, your government at work, not working. the most do-nothing congress ever heads for vacation. tempers flare on the house floor. will anything get done on the country's most pressing problems?
