7:34 am
london tomorrow for talks with the eu and uk following britain's vote to leave the european union. there are a lot of questions in the aftermath of that controversial vote. the founding members of the eu are recommending a quick divorce but many in the united kingdom say not so fast. there are dozens to unravel, hundreds of agreements, 50 years of foreign policy. of course the most important question is when does the split begin and how long will it take? berlin founding members of the eu spoke in favor of acting quickly and returning to stability. but in britain, those in favor of leaving eu don't want the terms of the separation to be dictated. donald trump found more parallels in britain's brexit vote with some of his own campaign themes. the setting was scotland. katy tur was will. >> reporter: the world is in financial turmoil and the

7:39 am
>> i did get an e-mail back from them saying my account -- after reviewing my account, it has now been reinstated. >> reporter: jen is/50 on returning to amazon. she is asking the company to make its return policy clearer so customers can adjust their buying and returning habits accordingly. >> i understand they were probably losing money on some of my returns. i get it. just tell me. >> stores have lots of reasons to get tough on returns. it costs them about $10 billion according to the national retail federation. if you have a question for us, please reach out. call 888-996-tips or go to nbcbayarea.com and then respond. a health scare earlier this year. the quarry lakes recreation area in fremont. people can now swim for the first time since early march when health leaders found naturally occurring toxic algae

7:47 am
party bested the democratic incumbent and that's saying a lot. and this is, by the way, only part one of a two-part drama. why? because california has that crazy top two primary system where these two democrats will face off yet again in the fall. >> you say lose. technically didn't lose in the sense that got fewer votes but they go together in november. how is this different? they ran opposed last time around. >> the 2014 primary honda clobbered khanna -- clobbered khanna -- by 20 points. but in november khanna closed that it gap to 3.6%. a small deficit. now for that reason, the khanna folks are pretty happy. after all, the khanna campaign this time around did much better than the primary campaign of two years ago and, by the way, as an aside, this is just driving people crazy for the democrats. the fact two democrats are opposing each other has caused, i mean, heartburn for many of
7:48 am
the area's leading party leaders but that's going to happen -- that can happen with california's truly unique primary. >> we can see a democrat is going to win. >> they have that, the party. it's stunning from two years ago. how much more could khanna collect and how is he able -- i mean, honda has been in office 16 years. the incumbent almost always wins. >> almost always. there are three factors potentially unrelated but coming together here, if you will, that made this race different from 2014. first, khanna didn't have to spend money and energy branding himself. in effect, he's been running against honda since 2012. this time around, he's a known quantity. second, khanna tweaked his approach. in 2014 he presented himself as a much-needed high-tech voice for the valley. this time around, no, no, no, dozens and i mean dozens of meetings throughout the district
7:49 am
in all kinds of local  communities. you know what, scott, you know this, i know this, people like attention from those folks seeking office and, third, mike honda, gosh, he's in ethics purgatory. by that i mean the ethics committee is considering charges against honda concerning inappropriate use of profits, personnel for campaign. that's a no-no. a dark cloud over honda which is terribly unfortunate because we know that for many people charges of improper ethics, unfortunately in their minds, translates to guilt. >> even if it hasn't been proven. what do we watch now? obviously the ethics issue but what else between now and november? >> okay. some consideration. money. will khanna's stunning win make it easier to raise campaign funds? will it also make it harder for honda to raise money? second, turnout. nearly a quarter of the voters in june, well, they were
7:50 am
republicans. which of these two candidates will they favor in november? and, yes, that point you raised a minute ago, third, the ethics charge. will the ethics committee clear honda of the charges? will it reprimand him for the charges or remain in limbo st l still? honda needs the charges to be dismissed for this issue to go away. so if you put all this together, this has become a classic race nobody really expected. they're watching it all across the country. how it turns out remains to be seen. >> one last question, larry, two things relatively new. only two candidates. >> that's right. >> no other candidates. no green party, no republican party, no independents. >> this idea of two candidates from the same party is growing. we're seeing more and more in the primary where the second major party is left out. the minor parties don't have a chance. and that's -- that's what's happened with this of system. i don't know how many people anticipated this but that's
7:51 am
happened. >> interesting. larry gerston always an interesting time. we'll be right back with a last look at weather.
