carolina, along with rescue teams from menlo park in sacramento so they could help first responders on the east coast. >> they had some tornadoes they had to deal with and of course there was some flooding and wind damage. fortunately for everyone involved the hurricane just sort of skirted up the coast, stayed off the coast enough, plus we had beneficial tides during the time the hurricane came up, so really didn't have the impact that people were expecting. >> crew members get a 24-hour reprieve to rest and recharge, then it's back to their regular jobs tomorrow, until the next time they're mobilized for the next disaster. dorian itself no longer considered a hurricane, but it's still causing plenty of problems. it made landfall in nova scotia yesterday. here you can see a crane that collapsed onto a building under construction. near 100-mile-per-hour winds caused it to tumble. the building was empty. luckily no, one was hurt. more than 330,000 people have lost power in nova scotia

signed one of the best receivers in nfl history but antonio brown won't suit up for them. the team released him after a series of high-profile incidents. today today's kristy smith has the story. >> reporter: raiders coach jon gruden said he's disappointed, despite their best efforts to work it out, star wide receiver antonio brown's short time with the team is over. >> i wish antonio nothing but the best and sorry we never got a chance to see him in silver and black. very disappointing. >> reporter: while brown had not played a game with the raiders, their relationship made many headlines. saturday he posted on social media he wasn't mad but wanted a chance to prove critics wrong and asked to be released. fans weren't surprised by the shakeup. >> the raiders just wasn't a good fit for him. it sounded good on paper. >> it would have been good if he would have played with us, but we end up losing him after all. butted raiders have to go g on.

>> reporter: he posted this video to reaction being released by the team. >> ahh! >> reporter: brown's time with the raiders included reports of verbal disputes with the gm, a chyro therapy mishap with his feet and issues with his helmet. >> antonio is a great player and someone that we wish we could have, because is he one of the best receivers in the nfl so we're going to miss him but like i said. >> i hate to see him gone, praying for him, hopefully he can get everything cleaned up. he's a great football player. like i said, we'll worry about monday. >> reporter: kristy smith, "nbc bay area news." >> as soon as that news broke, we sent out a push alert with our nbc bay area app, download is to get alerts to your smartphone whenever breaking news happens. an evacuation warning in

butte county. the swedes fire scorched 400 acres and destroyed two structures. the fire is burning near oroville. it already destroyed two buildings. the butte county sheriff's office says the fire started just before 3:00 yesterday afternoon. people in that area are being told to leave, as fire crews work just to contain those flames. an evacuation shelter and animal shelter have been set up in oroville to help out the people there. much more ahead on "today in the bay," sunday edition. coming up, we're live in washington to talk politics with chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press." plus an intense rescue under the cover of the night. we'll show you how two firefighters were saved after they were stranded in the wilderness.

welcome back. we're joined in studio with our political analyst larry gerston and good friend. it's nice to see him and time for the weekly chat that we have with chuck todd, nbc news

political director and of course moderator of "meet the press." hi, chuck. thanks for joining us. >> well, hi, happy sunday, laura. >> same to you. all right, chuck, big week ahead. can democratic presidential candidates, ten finally we're narrowing down, meet on thursday for the next democratic debate in houston. what do you think we should be watching for sneer. >> i am skeptical it's going to have a giant impact. i say that because the first two debates despite a lot of hype, buildup and coverage didn't do a lot to shake things up. sort of seemed to reinforce the notion of where the race was and what the divides were in the party. i do expect this debate to have a little more focus on elizabeth warren. i expect that she will probably take some incoming, unlike the first two debates where she sort of got to sort of stay above the fray a little bit. i think that will be interesting to see how she handles that going forward, does she make an

electability argument that punctures joe biden. she doesn't have, there isn't enough sanders support to grab for her to win the nomination. she has to get a piece of the biden vote as well. >> happy anniversary, five years as moderator of "meet the press." >> thank you. >> congratulations. >> i appreciate it. >> with the tariffs on china and the chinese following suit the president posts tariffs on the european union, india, turkey, with each following suit, giving the growing cost to american consumer consumers, is there a point where the president may blink? >> look, is he most moved by anything that impacts his ability to win re-election so whether it's on the decision to support background checks or not and apparently he's leaning against it, because he doesn't see that the folks that are the most, would be the most for his

move on this would still not support him. i do think at some point on the tariffs he is going to be looking for an exit ramp. the question is when, and he doesn't want to look like he needs to blink too soon. the fact is, china's got problems as well. i do think the president put himself in an uncomfortable spot and he's put his political future in the hands of china, because china now can decide, do they want to cut a deal now this president and help him out before re-election or do they want to stick to their guns and wait to see if this impacts him and see if they have a new president to negotiate with. i think him putting himself in that position is something no president likes to have, likes to be in, when facing re-election, where another world leader may have their future in their hands. >> um-hum, pretty strong point. >> staying with money, today's topic it seems, president trump is also listed $3.6 billion of military projects, you know about that, that will be shifted to construction of the famous or

infamous border wall with mexico, at a time when the economy in the u.s. seems to be slowing, what kind of risk, if any, does this move pose for effective republican senators, and representatives in the upcoming election? >> well, larry, i asked a republican senator this morning, on the show, i asked him what would the vote will v been for the president's national emergency had the senators known the specific projects were going to get postponed or defunded. he didn't want to speculate but the bottom line is, it's not clear this money is coming back, and this does present awkward, sort of awkward politics. a lot of swing states are seeing money go away for this border wall, florida, arizona, colorado, new mexico, texas, or just among the places where there are military installations, they're always locally very important and popular for the local economy getting postponed and it's not clear when that money comes back. that's where particularly in

florida where they're literally taking money away from a hurricane recovery issue in order to pay for the wall, that is something that you wonder how much, how devoted is this base to the president? at what point do they blink? >> all right, chuck todd, thanks so much. of course, be sure to join chuck this morning for "meet the press," right here on nbc bay area. he'll have interviews with secretary of state mike pompeo and presidential candidate senator amy klobuchar, and exclusive interview with senator roy blunt. tune in to "meet the press" 8:00 a.m. right after this newscast. i'm happy to say larry will be back again in about 40 minutes for our weekly political segment, a proposed bill that could affect the rideshar industry as well, and stick around for something else very special as well. we looked forward to that, larry. >> thank you. a daring rescue caught on camera. we want to show you helicopter video from the coast guard, saving firefighters from a

wildfire, early friday morning at the coast guard, they went into action near canyon creek in trinity alps wilderness area north of redding. crew members were hit by falling rocks while they were trying to put out the fire. the coast guard saved the injured firefighters with the fire ten yards behind them. firefighters are recovering from the hospital, they have serious head, back and leg injuries. people blwho couldn't get t friday night's metallica show at the chase center still got to take in opening weekend festivities. hundreds showed up for a block party yesterday, playing on the video board was the u.s. women's open ten's final. there were games, food, food booths, photo booths, face painting as well, san francisco's new arena is generating a lot of buzz from warriors fans, all for the upcoming season. >> just brings the warriors, steph curry and the whole team and uniting the east bay with

trough make its arrival, that's going to keep our temperatures cool into monday and tuesday. so a second system is going to keep us below normal for this time of year, when it comes to our temperatures, but then we get a couple changes. so let's talk about your daytime highs, so you can plan out your sunday. i hope it involves outdoor activities because you want to take advantage of the fact that it's not going to be blazing hot. oakland 75 degrees. concord 85. we got about a ten-degree temperature difference from the east bay in through the interior valleys, san jose 79 degrees. morgan hill 81. look at san francisco, 70 degrees. now yesterday in san francisco, at moffitt field we hit a high of 74. it's been an interesting weekend. the weather setup set us up nicely to enjoy the cloud cover and tooler temps, giving us a glimpse into the fall-like weather. i may want to take out my fall candles and all that good stuff but headed into tuesday and wednesday, guess what happens? we get heating up, we start to heat up again because of a ridge

camp, he never even played a single down for the silver and black. he's now a new england patriot. this is what his former teammates had to say about his departure. >> hate to see it happen. we still love him as a teammate. other than that we worry about monday. >> great player and someone we wish we could have, because he is one of the best receivers in the nfl, and so we're going to miss him but like i said, next time out. >> he didn't want to be here and we tried to support him, atted end of the day, the rest of the guys in here thinking team first and obviously he doesn't have that type of mentality that it's not going to work out. >> so hello and good-bye. the raiders play on monday. the 49ers open their season today, paying a visit to the tampa bay buccaneers. kickoff is at 1:25. let's talk a little college football. stanford at usc, a close game at halftime.

usc was leading 24-20, but the second half it was all trojans. 21 unanswered points. usc went on to win it 45-20. to baseball, the giants in l.a. taking on the archrival dodgers. top of its first, bases loaded for kevin pilar, he grounds out, scoring mike yastrzemski and that was it. giants win it 1-0. to the oakland coliseum, it was "star wars" night at the ball park, fourth inning, the force is certainly strong with the a's short stop. two-run triple gives the a's a 5-2 lead. they went on to win big, final score there was 10-2. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, state lawmakers with a big decision this week, the bill that would have a major impact on rideshare companies. the local analyst rejoins us live in studio next.

welcome back to "today in

the bay," sunday edition. this coming tuesday the state legislature may set the pattern for 2 million california workers as well as workers throughout the nation. assembly bill 5 proposes to treat on demand workers as employees instead of independent contractors, which is their current category. it passed at sem bloo he and awaits resolution in the senate. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston rejoins to us talk more about that. you think this is more a matter of semantics here? >> no, there's a large swathe here, a large swathe of people in the state workforce who could really be affected by this, ranging from uber and lyft drivers, we all know about those guys to newspaper carriers. if passed ab-5 could pave the way for the workers to engage in collective bargaining with their employ employers. labor leaders believe this change alone to coadd adcould a

00 to labor unions. they could bargain for higher wages, benefits in an area where the cost of living is so high and wages are low. >> this could affect the employers themselves, even the employers with smaller staff that are independent contractors. >> you bet, and any employer who hires someone on a day-to-day temporary basis could be affected, but the ridesharing industry, laura, really appears to be the most affected and determined to defeat ab-5, they say if ab-5 becomes law, the cost of riding would go up, increase largely and a large number of drivers would be let go. so these employers have promised a war chest of at least $90 million for a ballot proposition in 2020 that would overturn the new law if it's passed. needless to say, they'd rather defeat the proposed law now than go through an extensive statewide campaign later >> sure, exactly.

democrats have huge majorities in each branch of the legislature here. what do you think the chances are of this passing? >> first glance you say what do you mean? no brainer. we have all the democrats voting, of course they'll support it. you know what? democrats are hardly a monolithic block in the state legislature. many urban democrats, liberal democrats seem to favor passage, but lots of rural democrats worry about higher costs and tying the hands of employers. at the end of the day, a handful of democratic legislators will determine the outcome, and that will add pressure, add pressure to the whole matter, because with the promise of governor newsom to sign the bill, if it passes. stay tuned. this is a hot one. >> okay, speaking of signing, larry has a new children's book that's out, and i just read it in the newsroom. it's adorable. i can't wait to read it to the triplets. "spencer spider just wants friends." a great message here. >> who likes spiders? nobody. spiders are the mortal enemies of all of us even though when

you looblg at the literature and species, there are 43,000. only two can hurt us in north america, that's all. the rest are harmless, but kids don't like spiders because they're spiders. >> a lot of adults don't either. >> right, as a result of that, in a way it's kind of like discrimination, discrimination against something that we really don't like, but that actually does a lot of good. >> and we don't know why we don't like them. we're just scared of them. it's a really good message, larry. >> that's the bottom line there. the fact of the matter is we're scared, we don't know why and think of this with other groups in society. name the group you want, african-americans, latino, muslims, jews, we can go on and on, all these people so often are just discriminated because we just don't know enough or care. >> and this little spider does a pretty magic act in here, too. check out larry's children's book, and of course, reading is so important to kids as well, not only including their vocabulary, but the messages, and the conversations that

parents can have as well. >> yes, and that's the idea. if we teach kids about discrimination when they're young, what it means, how people are hurt. >> it becomes a way of life. >> or how they may be hurt, they carry that with them to adulthood. if they learn about it now and the harm it causes, maybe as adults they'll think twice between saying something unkind about someone they don't understand. >> change a generation there. check out larry's book, at a book signing at the wooden horse in los gatos. congratulations to you, coming up on sunday september 8th at 3:00 p.m. this afternoon. thanks so much for that. >> thank you, laura. >> always good to see you as well. we'll have a look at the forecast when we come back. this week on "press:here" carmakers and government regulators steer toward a future without driver controls. is it safer to get rid of the steering wheel? plus we'll look at growing old or not growing old at all, ahead at 9:00. at aetna, we believe in taking care of the whole you.

it is 7:54, sunday morning, and our views are spectacular throughout the bay area, because we've got the sunshine, but check out the low clouds, really hanging out throughout not just the coastline but this is actually a nice interior valley shot. right now in san jose, 57 degrees. it's cool. the clouds are going to be a little bit more diminished today, as we head in towards the afternoon. we'll get better clearing and the temperatures are also expected to go up. we have a little bit of fog especially around half moon bay, keep that in mind as you head in through the afternoon. one thing that we did notice yesterday evening was those winds really kicking up. right now we have an ocean breeze, it's tapered off a little bit now at about 12 miles per hour, but it's evening hours yesterday, the hilltop areas got

gusty because of a passing system just off to our north. we had this dry cold front that's what brought those clouds and of course kicked up the winds behind it in through the evening yesterday. today it will be different, we'll keep the same cool conditions but again we'll get a little bit more sunshine so still expect to see some cloud cover in through the interior valleys as well. as far as temperatures go, spectacular temperature, half moon bay cool 68. palo alto 76. san jose topping out in the upper 70s. in through concord 85. livermore 83. check out up through clearlake 84 degrees and if you're up through the north bay, expect low to mid 80s as well and check out the skies, coast, bay and inland temperatures very pleasant for the afternoon. talk about our weather setup, helded into a work week for tomorrow. we enjoy cool temperatures, the system passing off to our north, now we'll see a trough make its arrival into monday, tuesday, that's going to keep our temperatures cooler and as we head in towards wednesday, high pressure rolls in, that's going

to warm us up. it's going to diminish those winds, and it's certainly expected to kick up the temperatures 09 degrees for inland areas. take advantage of the cool weather, head out on a nice hike. breezy conditions through 9:00 a.m. and clearing skies by 10:00 a.m. and by 11:00 a.m. 68 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds. while at it on your nice hike, maybe you can share what you're seeing. this beautiful viewer photo from ayesha, cyclehikerunsf. she's active, and beautiful painted ladies there. this is a shot of yesterday, a lot of folks were saying it feels like fall around here and that's exactly why, we have the cloud cover, we had drizzle early on in san francisco and upper 60s through monday and tuesday because of a trough and notice wednesday, thursday and friday our temperatures really start to heat right back up. >> look at that. summer hanging on. >> hanging on tight. but overall beautiful day.

>> looks really nice. thanks so much. finally this morning, a new list of the top ten universities in the world for 2019, american universities dominated that list once again. number two on the list, right here in the peninsula, stanford university, ranked as the second best college in the world. it has held that title for the third consecutive year. it beat harvard, caltech and university of oxford. a united kingdom study surveyed more than 1,000 colleges to find the best. the number one university is considered to be mit. not too bad. >> look at that the water in the back, a nice shot. >> nice place to study, right? >> great day to be outside. don't forget to share your photos with us. >> and thanks of course for making us part of your morning. >> thanks for joining us on a sunday. >> i'll be here tomorrow morning, but no news tonight at 5:00 or 6:00 p.m., instead it's sunday night football in america! then prime time xfinity sports

at 8:30, followed by the special edition of "nbc bay area news" at 9:00. you can go home and nap and come on back. of course we'll be back at 11:00 as well. have a great day! we have patients that thank us every day for the care we provide, for the changes

that we make in their lives. patients that have not had care for many, many years. in the jail we provide medical, mental health, and pharmaceutical services to our patients. i'm very proud of the work we do at wellpath. the work that my team does. i think a patient who comes into our facility and is able to gain the care that they've needed for years and we see them improve and we see the changes that they make, that's probably the most rewarding part of the job.

. this sunday, altered states. . >> location, alabama was hit. >> president trump insisted that he was right to say hurricane dorian was headed for alabama. >> they actually gave that a 95% chance probability. >> leads to mr. trump resenting a doctored bet. >> are you able to show wit a sharpee. >> i don't know. i don't know. >> prompts more questions what we can placebo the president of the united states tells the public. i will talk to a republican senate leadership,
