i want to go over someof this. it higher wages all around f everyone people will be getting paid more pay increases and then guidelines, guardrails around the use of artificial intelligence, right, everybody's worried that a.i. is going to take their jobs and there are protections set inlace for that increased residuals in the streaming industry these streamers don't want to show you the mums. now they've agreed they will and those can be shared with the guild and the guild can share it aggregately to their voting body and there's a reward system. basically the more people who watch these streaming shows like on netflix, let's say, or on peacock here, the more that are watching essentially the higher you would get paid if you work on that show >> that kind of makes sense. >> this is why people really wanted these increases all around in this new age when you're dealing with things like

a.i. and streamers that you weren't dealing with before. three-year deal and some writers tagging to social media to say, it's great for now, but we'll have to revisit this in a few years. >> so this is all really good but they're going to need actors to actually be in the shows and they're still on strike, what's the latest on those negotiations >> sag-aftra is hoping to get a meeting on the books this week, it represents over 100,000 actors and they're obviously striking, they haven't had a meeting yet, they just released a statement saying that they reviewing the wga's tentative agreement and are committed to achieving a fair and just contract i'm hearing that all of this could be resolved by thanksgiving that essentially after this ratification process that will

isolated event >> rehema, that big announcement coming from target, the company said it's closing some of its stores for good because of scenes just like that talk to us about that decision and do they know where they're going to close those stores >> reporter: it's disturbing for people in those areas because they rely on these target stores, they just don't sell clothing and merchandise, they also sell food in lot of places that have been considered food deserts once upon a time there's one in new york and actually in east harlem, two closing in seattle, washington, three in portland, oregon, three in san francisco and the oakland area, this is a big blow, again as i say for the people who live in those communities but target said it's a big blow to them, too, they can't afford to have that kind of deduction, subtraction from their bottom line as a result of people breaking in on these crime sprees >> reheem yashgs thank you so

take advantage of what's could post-isolation support this is specialized army medical care for people who have been wrongfully detained. prisoners of war, hostages, the same treatment offered to those u.s. prisoners who were released just this month from detention in iran. now, the big question, why did north korea release him? and why now? u.s. officials say frankly they're not going to speculate, they don't know exactly why north korea didn't demand any concessions, the u.s. provided none whatsoever, but they're very grateful they were able to get him back, he's said to be in good health and in good spirits. they're also saying if this led to renewed diplomacy with north korea that's something the u.s. government would welcome right now. the other big question hanging over this what will happen to travis king? will he face military dis

speaking of money, at this hour the odds of a government shutdown are growing by the minute the house and senate have have over three days to work out a deal. >> just last night the senate reached a spending plan to keep the government funded through november, likely dead on arrival in the republican-led house. if the two sides can't reach an agreement, millions of federal workers will be without a contract julia, i'll start with you, there's a lot of blame just going around on why there hasn't been a deal reached yet. where do negotiations stand right now. >> reporter: at an impass, despite this monumental progress being made in the senate and in the house yesterday with some of those appropriations bill that were able to move, the bottom line here is, the senate has cr, the house doesn't have one now and all of this results in what's likely going to be a government shutdown for millions

of americans, because despite the fact that the senate can pass a short-term government funding bill that would base which i extend this deadline, push it off until mid-november, that would include ukraine aid, disaster aid, that's going nowhere in the house, if mccarthy put it on the floor it would get bipartisan support that's what majority leader schumer said >> the truth is, every approach house republicans are pushing are partisan every cr has been aimed at the extreme hard right every path they've pursued to date will inevitably lead to a shutdown. >> reporter: we're talking about ukraine money, disaster money, republicans wanting border security provisions in this bill the bottom line is, mccarthy has a handful of members that won't vote for any short-term

government funding bill no matter what he does, if he puts on a bill on the floor approved by democrats and republicans, the approval of mcconnell, then he risks the motion of vacate that would speak him out of the speaker ship no closer to funding the government ahead of that deadline. >> this is what's calling making the sausage on capitol hill. we're talking about what's happening there in washington, what's the real-world impact if the government shuts down on saturday. >> out of work let's break this down. the dmv area, where we have the concentration of federal workers, over 500,000 working in government, 51% of the workforce in d.c. employed by the federal government get this, d.c. said it lost $47 million in revenue in 2019 certainly something not to scoff at zoom out of the d.c. area other

communities that would be impacted as with el. hawaii 5,% employed by the federal government tourism is a big deal. alaska, 4% working in federal government, 9.5% just in fair banks. 60% of alaska's land managed by the federal government, the department of interior a major employer in that state last one, west virginia, 3.4% above the national afternoon, 6% in parkersburg and vienna. a branch of the treasury that employs a lot of people in state. areas we'll have to watch as we get closer to a potential government shutdown. >> it would be a very big deal thanks for breaking that down for us. a bipartisan bill related to marijuana has cleared a major hurd until the u.s. senate, the safer act would make it easier for marijuana businesses to access the financial system, this was advanced by the senate

banking committee today it heads to the full senate floor for a vote according to the u.s. cannabis industry is expected to pass $33 billion. it's impossible to store the money present day because those businesses marijuana is illegal under federal law so they can't save their money in federal -- the legal marijuana industry is almost entirely cash base because of that. this bill isn't going to legalize marijuana at the federal level but it deals with this banking issue. >> reporter: it's huge step forward, kate, because this banking law if it becomes law will allow the federally regulated banks to do business, to accept the money from these state legal marijuana operations, these businesses can

also get loans now, they can buy insurance, they can get financing, their employers will be able to proof of mortgage customers can start using credit cards and move away from just -- there's so much cash which creates danger and there are often robberies at these dispensaries making it safe, not legally federally but safer. >> if this passes in the senate, then what happens in the house >> reporter: well, senator schumer says he plans to bring it to the floor as soon as possible the theory they wouldn't have gotten it out of the committee unless they felt they had the votes on the floor, they'll need 60 votes to end debate before they can do a vote in senate, after that it would go back to the house which has passed this many times

then go to the president's desk, assuming there's not a government shutdown. >> thank you so much appreciate it. republican presidential hopefuls are set to go head to head tonight in the second primary republican debate. the debate will be in california emerging as a key state in the primary. steve patterson is in simi valley, california, steve, california has been a blue state for decades, that's no secret, why are republicans holding their debate tonight. >> california republican voters are important. there are a lot of fund-raising here a few key things that have to do with primary, number one, 169 delegates up for grabs in california the most out of any state in the country and because of new rules this year, if a

candidate gets more than 50% of the vote they get the intiert of that 169 delegates a big deal for the race and it matters because just a few days after this midweek debate in just a few hours the california gop is holding their falcon vengs, so there's lot of momentum going into this week, desantis will be there and trump will be there. because the map looks blue on this side of the country, coming election night >> beyond the politicians you spoke with some voters, some women involved local republican politics there, what do they want to hear tonight >> reporter: well, the california gop is the house that reagan built, more moderate, more, you know, involved in theish hues voters that's what they want to hear on stage tonight, they want policies laid out, what exactly are your thoughts on immigration, education, on the economy, on what's happening in ukraine, they want all of that laid out

in a substantive way, they're sick of the party tearing each other apart and down the big focus in california has to be economy, i spoke to a few women about why that's so important. here's what they told me. >> i feel for our people out here i feel for my daughter who's a single mother. and she is trying to make ends meet and it's a shame >> everybody is feeling the pinch of inflation and so they all want to get ahead so they're doing strikes and they're trying to get more funding to live their lives, which i understand, but what they don't understand is when you increase your wages you increase the cost of everything so you're not really getting more bang for your buck. >> reporter: that was a panel of california republican women, they told me they're looking for one of those candidates to stand out, make a stand, make a name for themselves tonight, but if

that doesn't happen they'll vote for donald trump it's all about not having biden in office >> steve patterson, thank you so much complete coverage of the second republican debate kristen welker will have expert analysis of all of the big moments that's tonight at 11:00 eastern on nbc news now. after a remarkable 371 days in space, astronaut frank rubio is back on earth. >> those 371 days set a record for the single longest mission ever by an american astronaut. rubio and two russian cosmonauts landed this morning. >> tom costello covers all the fun stuff, aviation and space for us tom this is pretty amazing, can you talk about the science of being up there for that long risks of being in zero gravity for that long. >> yes, there is this was a six-month mission

the big one is psychological, this is a tough guy, combat veteran, medical doctor, helicopter pilot, he said it was very difficult to be away from his family for that long and had he known it would be a year he wouldn't have gone because he missed key milestones in his four kids' lives. >> now that he's back, what's next for him. >> reporter: well, first of all, he'll have to spend time going through all of the medical debrief processes with nasa in houston, that's going to take some time, and then of course he wants to be with his kids. he also makes the point that, you know, this is really the life he's chosen to be an astronaut. maybe now he doesn't need to be on station anymore, maybe he can stay on the ground and have a desk job for a while. >> he did his time quite literally. tom, thanks so much. more of tom's reporting tonight on "nightly news." major life events can cause anxiety in children. but there are some easy ways to
