the warning, residents are being told about a scam where crooks call pre tending to be federal or state prosecutors. they demand you wire money to clear your charges. in one case the victim was asked to send the money via green dot moneypak. the person really thought they were in trouble and caught on only when the same person called back to demand more cash. a new gun control measure in the state legislate surgaining national attention. they're calling it is a gun violence restraining order. if approved california could be the first state to take away firearms from someone who has shown signs that they could harm themselves or others. the berkeley assembly manner introduced it after the shooting rampage near uc santa barbara. last may, six peel died including three from the bay area. that's just one key measure state lawmakers will decide when the section resumes tomorrow. one bill calls for all smartphones in california to be equipped with anti-theft kill switches. another guarantees all people

levi's stadium has one game under its belt. the earthquakes had the honor of playing a game last night and today there was some monday morning quarterbacking going on. traffic, parking, food, you name it. nbc bay area is live at the stadium right now. >> reporter: of course, this is silicon valley so the 49ers are calling last night a beta test and they say it went very well. now they're gearing up to host an additional 20,000 fans in just two weeks. and judging by how well things went last night, the stadium will be ready. for the crowd of more than 58,000 on august 17th. most of the people we talked to last night say it was pretty easy to drive to the stadium and find. but those who took cal train said the trains were extremely crowded and the lines after the game were horrendous. the vice president of stadium operations says the niners are looking at how to improve for

the next game. >> because it tested the signaling better for our arrival of the employees. so 30,000 to 40,000 employees had some issues getting to the line a little bit. we'll pay attention to that. >> reporter: he also says the niners plan to talk to neighbors to get ideas how to minimize the impact they feel on game days. some people complained that people were in their car ports and there was no street left for the folks who live there. 49ers say they plan to talk to people after every game and approve after every event. reporting live in santa clara. nbc bay area news. >> all right. thanks very much. fans got one more chance to say their final goodbyes to candlestick park today. the san francisco recreation and parks department they told candlestick farewell community day for the public. check out the field goal. that's not really that easy. it was the last free admission

event before the final closure. there were carnival rides, food trucks and the stadium tours. fans say it was a fun way to say goodbye with the family. >> it is awesome to be here. it is going to be no longer. so it is really awesome for our children going to experience this day as they never experienced it before. >> today is the day to let every kid have warm-ups on the field. >> the fans got a chance to take photos on the field. they got a chance to get some autographs from the former 49ers and the giants players. the final event at candlestick is a concert by paul mccartney. that is coming up on august 14th. next spring, i'm told. before we get to bay area weather we want to show you how one manhandled yesterday's rain in southern california. riding his swan. an inflatable swan. floating down the street. the video is from 100 miles east

los angeles at rancho mirage. nearby the rain was not nearly as peaceful. people were told to stay indoors because of the possibility of dangerous flash floods. and we mean flash floods. some areas got as much as four inches of rain. in one hour. four inches in one hour. meteorologist anthony is here now. talking about maybe some rain up here. >> down in southern california they've seen showers and thunderstorms. some of the video you've seen, very similar to what we could see is possible. one of these storms could move over the area and stall out. with a lot of the monsoon moisture. there's no push in the jet stream to get these storms to push along. that could possibly happen. we have showers in the forecast for tomorrow. do keep that in mind. umbrellas, probably a good idea. especially if you have to wear something very nice. you may want to err on the side of caution. a few high, thin clouds overhead. and you will notice, the golden

gate bridge starting to get fogged in. a little drizzle expected. and speaking of that drizzle, we are more than just that. as i mentioned earlier to start this off, we were talking about that southern california rain. we still got showers and thunderstorms on the radar. all the way from the sierra down toward fresno, bakersfield, even across palm springs. some of the desert locations got about two and a half inches of rain just in a couple of hours. now again, some of those storms will be drifting this way. i don't think we'll get that much rain in a short amount of time but we could see a half inch in some of the downpours. that would be probably the most we would get. that's a good amount when you're talking just a few hours. you'll notice the computer modeling with each and every run. the thing to note, this is not set in stone, it is not gospel. the computer model not detecting where the showers will fall or if we'll get any at all. but just keep those umbrellas handy because of showers will be so close. we'll see a good mix of sun and

clouds. the temperatures not so bad. 78 in the santa clara valley. 68 degrees. a few isolated thunderstorm icons there. everybody won't get rain but in your neighborhood you may see a shower or two. north bay, i do think this is where you'll see the better chance of showers. walnut creek, 78 toward the tri-valley. not too bad. very comfortable weather. specially after a couple weeks out in the 90s. 84, livermore. the general trend, a mix of sub and clouds every day. monday and tuesday, cooler weather relatively speaking. because by the end of the upcoming week week talking temperatures in the inland valleys back into the 90s. the main story tonight, tomorrow and tuesday. we could see a brief shower. we don't think it will amount to much. we could be talking about a good torrential downpour. unfortunately, the pirate models are not lining up. we've got two days to see what happens. and with our luck, we haven't

seen much rain. we're keeping our fingers crossed. this year's drought may be one for the record books. it certainly won't be california's last serious drought. some are calling on lawmakers to act to head off future problems. we spoke with nbc bay area political analyst about the root of california's water worries. >> agriculture uses 80% of the state's water. very water intensive kroms. they can't do without the water. so the state then turns to the urban dwellers and the suburban dwellers to say need to cut back. this is a problem. because farmers in this state until now have pretty much had their way. whatever they haven't received from the federal government and the state in terms allegations, they drilled down to get their water. the water table is now going lower and lower and lower. it has gone ten feet lower this last year. you can't keep doing that. so that source will run out.

they said california must not only use less water but to find new sources of water. the new source is ocean water. the cost of the desalination plant have kept california from firm plans to build a plant until now. 15 projects are now proposed in los angeles to the bay area. napa valley wine makers are celebrating the beginning of the wine harvest despite one of the driest winters on record. wine producers are predicting an bundle yanlt harvest. but that could change. why many winemakers have a watchful eye. >> reporter: don toils over his grapes with a starting view. >> the joy is making a good quality wine. >> reporter: his own hands, his

own sweat. >> start from scratch. i planted the grapes. i fertilize them. >> going to every bottle. >> total stress relief. this is what makes life him a. >> reporter: the stress is rising with every rainless season. >> i've never seen it this bad. >> reporter: he sees it down the hill in the stevens creek reds. >> i would say they're about 20% capacity. >> reporter: and now he sees it on his vines. this is what drought will do to you. >> reporter: like everyone else who works the land, he is struggling through another year of drought. he expects to survive this year with a decent grape harvest. next year -- >> if we don't get any rain next year, maybe a 30% reduction in grams. what we'll do is we'll cut them off to save the plants. we're a real small winery. if we don't get irrigation, it will affect us financially. >> reporter: wine makers from cooper tino to napa to livermore. >> we are in dire straits tune.

>> that was god saying it's going to rain tomorrow. >> reporter: it has left jim with acres and acres of vines and worries. >> if you don't have water, these grapes die. the fruit dies. we as a community die. >> reporter: he expects a good harvest despite the drought. >> we'll survive. if we have this same weather next year -- >> reporter: that's the big question. >> to be honest with you, i don't even like that question. i don't sleep good thinking about it. >> reporter: he says another dry year could mean smaller crops, bigger prices. >> the yield goes down 30%. you can talk as much as 20%, 30% prices. >> reporter: up on his ridge with a view of the silicon valley, he figures the only thing to do is look up. >> we'll make it through. eventually mother nature will give us our rain back. >> reporter: nbc bay area news. coming up next, the american doctor fighting for his life after getting ebola in africa.

passage ways for hamas fighters to hide, attack, and escape. even on motorcycles. it was at a tunnel where an israeli soldier feared taken captive was killed. his funeral today. as he was laid to rest, israel took a major step to make sure the rest of its soldiers are safer. pulling most of its forces out of the gaza strip, sending relief soldiers back to israel. the withdrawal means israeli troops who have been gathered along gaza's border for weeks will be far less vulnerable to attack. for israel, the ground war could be ending. but here in gaza it doesn't feel like the war is winding down. all day there have been rockets launched from here toward israel. we've watched them fly overhead and there have been more israeli air strikes. one of those strikes caused yet another tragedy. the u.n. officials say israel fired on a suspected palestinian militant on a motorcycle just as he passed in front of the u.n.

school full of 3,000 palestinians taking shelter. at least ten civilians were killed. robert turner, director of the u.n. program in gaza, is stunned israel chose to attack so close to the school. do you think israel should have waited a few more seconds, a few more minutes until he was further away from this location? >> why, if this is a moving target and you're tracking him, why there? why there right at the gate of a shelter? the location of which you've been given 33 times. the last time not more than an hour before the attack. >> reporter: in its strongest condemnation yet, the u.s. state department said it was appalled by today's disgraceful shelling outside the school. that was nbc's richard engel reporting. it never happened until now. we're talking about the house of representatives voting last week to sue president obama. democrats are furious, claiming the lawsuit is a waste of taxpayer moinl. in only the's reality check, sam brock finds out if public money

is really on the line here. >> so sue me. as long as they're doing nothing, i'm not going to apologize for trying to do something. >> reporter: president obama's taunt may not have been literal but house republican leadership didn't see that it way. in a congress characterized by its feeble ability to pass, well, anything, the house of representatives voted to sue president obama this week over a delay in obamacare's mandate. a move that made history. >> i think it is fairly agreed upon that you've never had either either the entire congress or a single house bring an action against the president. >> reporter: which leads to us an important question. who pays for this lawsuit? in the past when individual members sued the president, they used campaign funds to pay for lawyers. this time because the house institutionally voted to sue the president, democrats say american taxpayers foot the bill. is there any other way to see it? >> no. no question.

they will be liable. who else will pay for it? >> reporter: you're probably asking yourself, what is the final tab? house democrats who oppose this bill calling it a political stunt pointed out, it will likely cost millions. >> we don't have the money to have this suit. they don't have the money to do better things for the american people. we shouldn't be spending money on this. >> reporter: house democrats tried to force republicans to disclose the cost of a lawsuit to taxpayers before the vote. in a letter to house leadership they argued, quote, the american people have a right to know how much money will be allocated to this exercise. but republicans refuse to include that clause in the bill. or set aside a budget for the lawsuit. should the courts take the case, the cost will grow with each appeal and each round. >> i think there's a pretty good chance. more than pretty good. i think there's a very good chance it will go to the united states supreme court. >> a judge in the federal district court must decide the republicans have something called standing.

standing come from being able to prove injury to the president's actions. that's the million-dollar question. one thing is certain. if the case does move forward, the american people will foot that bill. a san jose family who says it got the bait-and-switch is suing. they claim pawsative service company gave them a dog that doesn't do anything it is supposed to do. and they paid $9,000 to keep their autistic dog from running off. idaho the dog pays no attention to their son. others are expected to follow suit. nbc bay area is committed to helping ensure local nonprofits have the help they need. a program called 21st century solutions, and tonight we highlight one of our grant winners. damien trujillo shows us how the rise program is helping a special demographic.

of the silicon valley children's fund. the rise program gives foster children the support they need to keep them from falling through the cracks. it is one of the reasons the program received a $25,000 grant from nbc universal's 21st century solutions. >> i completely see myself in there. like i said, i always wanted it. i made the choices to be there. but it was always the support that was needed. and i think here, they have that. >> reporter: nicholas jackson jumped around from foster home to foster home. she says the rise program helped them graduate from deanza college magnum cum laudee. >> it was a challenge for me. not because i couldn't do the work or not because the work was hard. but because my mine was just elsewhere. i was always worried about what was going on at home. >> reporter: there were more than 1,200 children in foster care last year in santa clara county. dr. lopez says traditional

schools are failing many of those children and thinks the rise program helps fill that void. >> those students that were in there are unfortunately, have been challenged in the traditional setting. but they come here and there's something very positive happening. >> we are a group of humans. >> it is happening if mr. mooney's class with children he believes are going to make it. nbc bay area news. how one man owes his life to getting pulled over by police. plus, the rare whale fossil finally headed to a museum after being discovered in a southern california backyard decades ago.

the 16 million-year-old fossil is from southern california. it was found in a 1,000 pound rock in a backyard. it was first discovered in 1978 by gary johnson whose parents still live. there he said he tried digging up the fossil as a young boy. >> that summer i spent with a hammer and a screw driver which is a big no-no. and i chipped the shale that was attached to the fossil bone. away from it. and i exposed the bone. i noticed that it did have that pattern on the side but i didn't know what it was. >> johnson recently contacted the natural history museum after heard about another whale fossil being found in the same neighborhood. interesting neighborhood. the museum plans to use it for research. getting pulled over is not usually cause for celebration. for one man speeding in new england, it ended up saving his life. as ron motte reports, the whole thing was recorded on video. >> reporter: on the way to get

ice cream, the 84-year-old knew immediately he was busted for speeding. >> i saw a policeman on the side of the road. they nailed me. >> reporter: what he didn't know, couldn't possibly know, was that getting pulled over would be a life saver. >> let's see your license. >> reporter: i took my license out of my wallet. and after that, i know nothing. >> reporter: for the officer, dash cam rolling, it was just another stop. >> went back to my car. started to run checks. and write out a warning card. at which time i heard some screaming. >> call 911! >> reporter: the screaming was from gavin's wife janet. not because he was going too fast he was dying. his heart had stopped. >> he was unresponsive. i checked for a pulse. he didn't have one. at which time i pulled him out of the vehicle and began doing chest compressions. >> sir!

>> reporter: the compressions weren't working. back yum arrived armed with a defibrillator shocking life back into gavin. >> they were you were a goner and you were lucky because the policeman was an emt and he knew just what to do. >> reporter: from a radar gun to cpr, all in a day's work for officer harrington. >> we don't have many of these. certainly not law enforcement. it is very difficult to quantify the difference we make. every once in a while something like this hams and it feels good. >> it was quite an ordeal. >> reporter: as for speeding, he passed the officer 15 miles an hour over the limit. he was let off with a warning. >> i think i'll frame it. >> reporter: and a beating heart. >> thank you. it's a prescription for danger. not understanding the instructions for your medication because you don't speak english. each year thousands end up in the e.r. over a simple dosing mistake.

now the push is on to make prescription translations mandatory. >> the current system to me is working. >> reporter: jimmy has been the owner of this pharmacy in walnut creek for ten years. according to him, providing labels on medications in a different language isn't a problem because it is a limited service he provides for his spanish speaking customers. making that service imaginer to could become confusing because he would not be able to ensure the translation is correct. >> i think technology is not there yet to ensure a high level of accuracy. >> reporter: according to a nonprofit organization that sets standards for medicines, a lack of universal standards for labelling on prescription containers is a root cause for patients misunderstanding the drugs they are taking. statistics show over 700,000

emergency room visits across the country are caused by not taking drugs properly. >> if people can't read the prescription bottles, it is a dangerous situation. >> reporter: he's been outspoken when it comes for pushing for legislation to make it imagineder to that pharmacists print the directions in english as well as the patients' native language. >> if the label doesn't make sense to people taking the medication, they're already at a disadvantage. >> reporter: a state senator offered legislation to conduct a survey. the u.n. doesn't think there needs to be more government oversight when it comes to dispensing medications. >> the statistics show a lot of people don't follow instructions. it is not because of the language or the label. >> there will always be people who will say these people should learn english and that's the answer. but i'm still prescribing medications for people who don't speak english and i'll asking for help. >> that was nbc bay area's

it is a strange, strange thing. the giants are playing much better away from at&t this season. they entered sunday nine games under .500 on the road. compare it to un .500 at the ballpark. the same is true for madison bumgarner. that both well for the giants as they play game three of a four-game set against the mets.

hunter pence has not played well on the road. his fortunes are about to change. that is a 2-1 home run for bartolo colon. then the top of the ninth, the giants up 8-0. pence goes deep again. makes it 9-0 giants. madison bumgarner looking to hit a two-hit shutout. that's a season high for bumgarner. it is his first complete game of the season and the giants win big. >> you're feeling good on days like today, you can go after guys and when the command is good and getting to bed early and getting quick outs and getting back in the dugout. especially when they give you a lead like that. >> you throw a shutout. that's always impressive. the way he pitched today was fun to watch. >> the jeenlts could get a key piece of the lineup back. angel pagan is expected to return sometime this week.

we're swinging the bat as well as we can. we get four hits tonight, besides nine yesterday. we just have to keep going and keep working. final round of the bridgestone invitational, tiger woods won. but on the second hole he took an awkward shot and he was never quite the same of he had to withdraw from the tournament on the ninth hole as he had, we assume, issues with his back. you can see he is clearly in painful his status is in question for next week's championship. rory mcelroy never looked back. he topped in at 18. back of the west classic final. serena william and achk lee. the first set goes to tie break. second set, match point. the shot is just long and serena

climate change and rising sea levels are literally eroding it. >> the best evidence is the bone yafrd dead trees. >> reporter: to show you how fast it is eroding, here he is standing where it will be in one year know five years and then ten years time. that's where the scientists of the sea turtle conservation program come in. they're tracking and moving the logger head turtle nests out of harm's way. >> it is like a ping pong ball. it really feels like it. hard to believe there is a little baby turtle in there. >> reporter: with sea turtle numbers dropping globally for as much as 90% for species like the leather back, it is very important to have a hand in their future. even these logger heads. >> grab the side of the shell. 33 baby logger head turtles were saved on st. catherine's island today. these ancient creatures have

been on earth for over 100 million years. they came before us and just like the elderly in our lives, we owe them a debt of respect to ensure the world of the future is a place we can share with them too. the weather channel. the meteorologist anthony slaughter joining us now. we had a wild, wild week coming up. >> we're talking about showers. it is hard to believe. we couldn't get any rain all winter and now here we are in the dead of summer. to start off, looking at san francisco. we've got some fog rolling through. tomorrow morning you may have to use windshield wyomingers. tomorrow's highs, you may need windshield wipers. no 80s on the board so it will be very comfortable. we do have that chance of an isolated shower even from the south bay through the peninsula.

northward. i think as you saw on the map, not a lot of green but we could see one or two showers that could produce lightning and thunder and keep that in mind. thunder can actually strike outside of a thunderstorm. so again, we could be talking about more fires that started just because we don't get the lightning and thunder in the thunderstorm. it starts outside. of course you get the fire, you get the point there. you will notice, it will be really soupy. not only will we be dealing with warmer temperatures by wednesday and thursday but even by friday, we'll be looking at the inland valleys. very comfortable at the coastline back into the mid 70s. summer not over yet. school just about to start in a couple weeks. do you know what? the good news as we get into our winter months, the things that we are starting to see the atmosphere moistening up. let's hope this continues as we head into the fall and winter months. we can really, really use the rain. >> thanks a lot. check out this.
