>> reporter: some stanford students say as they speak out about the conflict in the middle east, they feel unsafe on campus. >> then i saw people writing on billboards saying, israel is burning. >> reporter: other students catched out in tents to call for a cease-fire in gaza, they say they have received threats. after the hit and run, students on both sides are demanding the university do more to keep all students safe. >> i think the university needs to lead with empathy. i think there needs to be a firm stance to protect students. and i think that less hesitation would be important, as well. >> reporter: in a message to the

campus community after the incident, the university said -- >> reporter: but students we talk with say it's not enough. >> the university should work to quiet down the extreme voices and bring in the people in the center. quiet down everything that has to do with violence. >> reporter: marianne favro, "today in the bay." a live look at gaza this morning from the israeli border, where a top israeli minister has been suspended by prime minister benjamin netanyahu over comments made suggesting that dropping a nuclear bomb on the gaza strip was an option. the prime minister says the comments were not based in reality. all this comes as thousands of israelis protested outside of

netanyahu's home, calling on him to resign and saying he has not taken responsibility for missteps that led up to hamas' attack last month. he says there will be time for investigations after the war. now to the war in the middle east, where a top israeli minister has been suspended by prime minister benjamin netanyahu over the comments made suggesting that dropping a nuclear bomb on the gaza strip was an option. the prime minister says the comments were not based in reality. all this comes as thousands of israelis protested outside of netanyahu's home, calling on him to resign and saying he had not taken responsibility for missteps that led to hamas' attack last month. today, secretary of state antony blinken visited the west bank where he met with palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas. abbas called for an immediate cease-fire in gaza. blinken reaffirmed america's commitment to the delivery of

life-saving humanitarian assistance to people in gaza. this comes as israel continued its bombardment of gaza. you can see what appears to be explosions in this video. the israeli military says troops have encircled gaza city. more than 1.4 million people have been displaced in gaza. palestinian health officials say the death toll in gaza has climbed past 9700 people. israel says 1400 israelis were killed in the hamas attack. and more than 200 are still being held hostage. thousands once again crowding major cities protesting the violence and demanding a cease-fire all over the world. paris, london, berlin, and our own nation's capital. people rallying and marging in some of the largest demonstrations that we have seen since hamas attacked israel nearly a month ago. and one of those protests happened yesterday in san

francisco, with pro-palestinian demonstrators marched downtown. a coalition of organizations were involved in bringing together the major demonstration. they rallied before heading out to the march. the groups joined calls to an end of u.s. military aid in israel, and a cease-fire in gaza. demonstrators say they believe the protests are making a difference. lots of bumper-to-bumper agony in the east bay yesterday. this was 580 jammed packed with drivers because of a stretch of 680. crews are repaving the road. repairs, caltrans says are necessary. alyssa gourd got an up-close look at the construction. >> reporter: throughout dublin today, you could see city streets like this packed with people, trying to make a detour around that 680 south bound road closure.

caltrans admits, 680 in the east bay is an aging road in need of fixes. the latest step in that massive road repair project began friday night and will continue through monday morning, shutting down south bound 680 through pleasanton from 580 to highway 84. >> motorists will experience a much smoother ride when this is complete. so what we are doing is during this weekend closure, we're compressing 40 nights of work into a weekend. >> reporter: they're replacing a portion of the deteriorated roadway and making room for an express lane. >> this is a short-term pain for long-term gain. >> reporter: one man who lives off of foothill road says getting anywhere from his home is a challenge. >> it's just horrible. i have to wait 45 minutes to get to my house, even get to work,

and i work right over there. >> instead of during the daytime, they should do it at night. >> reporter: many drivers trying to find a way around. caltrans says while the closure is in effect, it's also working to keep local traffic only on pleasanton road and foothill road south of castlewood drive to alleviate traffic for those living in the neighborhood. >> 680 is just bad. honestly, they should open a new lane, they should just really stop at one point. >> reporter: caltrans says this is the only 680 closure scheduled for the rest of the year. they expect this particular 680 express lane project to be finished by winter 2025. alyssa gourd, "today in the bay." after a trove of racist text messages have left a san jose cop out of a job. we're now hearing from the legal team targeted in at least one of those messages.

nbc bay area broke the story friday night. sjpd released ten pages of redacted texts that officers sent to a former and current officer. the fired officer was identified as mark mcnamara, a six-year veteran of the force. the texts were discovered during an internal affairs investigation. several of the messages had racial slurs, and one said, "i hate black people." mcnamara was involved in the shooting of 20-year-old keon green at the popular place in downtown san jose. green had just disarmed a gunman during a brawl. police investigating a murder nearby rushed to the restaurant and shot green as he was backing out of the gun. his family is now suing the city. text messages from june show that mcnamara used slurs when discussing the lawsuit, aimed at green and his legal team, which is made up of black lawyers.

he also jokes about shooting the attorneys. we spoke to one of those lawyers who says every message was read to green and his mother. >> they were shocked. you don't expect the people that are supposed to protect you to have these type of conversations immediately following shooting you. >> that's attorney angel alexander. she says the texts are proof that racial bias may have played a role in his actions. green has since recovered from his wounds. he is expected to speak today in oakland at 11:00 a.m. with his lawyers about these texts and their lawsuit. both the city's police chief and mayor condemned the messages. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, we take you live to washington, d.c. for a weekly interview with kristen welker interview with kristen welker for apreview o we are grocery outlet

kristen welker, nbc chief white house correspondent and moderator of "meet the press." hi, kristen. thanks for joining us this morning. you sat down exclusively with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. it's been more than 600 days since russia invaded ukraine. what is president zelenskyy saying about the ongoing conversations with u.s. and european officials on what possible peace negotiations might look like to end the war? >> well, so good to be with you. he's defiant. he says sure, there are always conversations and discussions going on. he says he's not ready to negotiate with president putin, someone he calls a quote unquote terrorist. and he says he's not going to give up any of the land that russia has illegally claimed. so he's pretty defiant. he also has very powerful messages for the united states, for lawmakers, many of them republicans who are skeptical about sending more aid to

ukraine. he basically said if you don't give us more aid now, the price is going to be so much higher in the future. you're going to wind up paying with your sons and daughters, who are going to be sent oversaying to defend nato countries. so really strong words from president zelenskyy. he also had a powerful message for pormer president trump, who said that if he is elected he could end the war in 24 hours. so a lot of big headlines in this interview, and just a really fascinating conversation. he was really emotional and passionate in his message. >> strong words there. thanks for joining us, kristen. and we hope you'll join kristen for this morning's special edition of "meet the press." watch the full exclusive interview with the ukrainian president zelenskyy. if you just stay right here with us.

"meet the press" is on at 8:00 a.m. right after this news cast. coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we'll talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. we'll take a look at the recent move by the state to ensure voting machines are used in future elections for accuracy, while some counties want to count ballots by hand. and the state department is lending that u.s. citizens in lebanon leave now because of the unpredictable security situation there. this is video from last month in beirut. it shows lebanese protestors clashing with lebanese security forces near the u.s. embassy. this is after hezbollah leaders called for an all-day of anger. the state department warned u.s. citizens to get out while commercial flights are available. they are advising americans to have a plan of action that does not rely on u.s. government assistance.

and walking to health in alzheimer's. hundreds walked along the embarcadero yesterday hoping to raise money for alzheimer's research. participants raised funds through pledges. they say they have been coming here for more than 20 years. the alzheimer's association says the money will provide patients with care and support. doctors don't know what causes the brain disease, which robs a person of their thoughts, memory and ability to carry on a normal conversation. and if you're looking for events to attend before the weekend is up, mike has a few ideas in this weekend's calendar. >> let's start today with the feeling of giving. we go out to san francisco for a benefit concert with a twist here. we'll go to the conservatory of music where the theme is united we move forward.

the music reflects a mix of cultures from around the world, expressing support and compassion. you can buy a ticket and watch it streamed online to contribute. sfcm.edu. and for those who need giving to those who have given, a celebration of those who served. the veterans office hosting its celebration day today at the mexican heritage plaza from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. all guests do need to please register online. and finally, we'll think of the act of gifting itself and supporting cottage industries at the market being held in crockett at the boy scout hall today from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., over 30 bay area vendors, plus they have food, jerky, fried rice, quite the spread they have there. >> that is quite the spread over there in crockett.

>> and now we're hungry. >> i want some food now. >> we gained an hour. it's starting to feel like fall. you know, it was really hot yesterday. we were talking about that. >> we were, and sunny at times. but today is definitely the day to drink your coffee hot and make sure all of your fall clothing is in order, because we are looking at changes. let's start hour by hour for you. this morning, as you make your way out the door, satellite and radar is picking up spotty showers to the north and to the east of us. they're going to roll on in here as we go through the middle of the day and into this afternoon. as we were saying, those temperatures yesterday, very nice. but today, we are saying goodbye to the warmth and seeing more of the temperatures sticking around in the 60s and low 70s with showers pushing on through. so if you have any plans to head up to the sierra or you're coming back, those showers, heavier at times, mixing in there with a little bit of that snow. let's get you an hour by hour

outlook. i don't think you have to cancel any plans. more of that light activity will cop up for the north bay around 2:00 this afternoon. it will start to sweep on through. still, sprinkles at this time through our sunday dinner plans. still for the north bay, parts of palo alto, san jose, along with melpidas and fremont. we're going to see the heavier rain push through parts of samona county by around the morning commute and at 8:00 a.m. for napa county, san francisco even. by the mid morning hours, it should push on through to the south and the east. parts of oakland, danville and out towards the tri valley. the evening commute looks much more dry, so just some changes we have to be mindful of. the estimates today, very light amounts, but watch as we advance this and take you into monday. more of that coloring pushing on

through. but really, only going to be about a tenth of an inch to less than a half of an inch for the north bay. san jose in the south bay continuing to be rain shadowed by those mountains. temperatures really the sweater weather will pick on up for tomorrow and tuesday, where no more of those 70s are on the board. we're down to the 60s, widespread, and we'll feel chillier and gustier days ahead, as we see the jet stream usher in more wind. thursday into friday could be our next chance of rain. but this model breaks it apart as we get closer to the weekend. i think saturday are be okay. so our seven-day forecast, spotty showers for today in our inland valley. the rainy start for our commute here. you have to be mindful of some of those windchill valleys could see lows in the upper 30s and 40s. so definitely the changes that we all wanted to see as we get a little cozier, start to plan our evenings as the sunset is going to be much earlier now. and getting closer to the

holidays. >> those pumpkin spice lattes that everyone is getting ready for, the hot cider. it was too hot to drink those earlier. sounds good. much more ahead on "today in the day." coming up, the san jose sharks may be a record-setting team this season, but for all the wrong reasons. we'll show you the highs and lows of last night's game. sports is next.

the warriors are on the road and are in cleveland to take on the cavaliers today at 3:00 p.m. but a lot of people are talking about this play friday night. >> curry drives and curry, good! >> they're saying he touched the basket. >> steph curry hit that tiebreaking layup with less than a second.

the refs called goal tending on draymond green, but the call was reversed. the nba said even though he touched the rim, he never touched the ball, so it was a clean play. the warriors have won five in a row. as the warriors face the cavaliers, they might have to compete without klay thompson who is listed as questionable for the game because of problems with his right thigh. the five-time all-star hit the game winner against the kings wednesday night and scored 18 in the team's win on friday. today will be the first of two back-to-back road games. and call it the draymond green effect. yesterday, the warriors made some roster moves, calling up rookie tracy jackson davis and guard brandon trajenski after they were sent for g-league training.

now, it came down to stef's tiebreaker with less than a second left. green made it clear the team was missing their rookie energy. >> next time we have an in-season tournament game, we need them here. they bring a lot of juice for us. you talk about young guys bringing energy, that's their job. we don't have to tell them to bring energy, they do it every single day. i wasn't overly shocked that our energy wasn't there, because they are the guys that lift our energy level, and they weren't here. >> bring on the energy. the warriors take on the cavs in cleveland today at 3:00 p.m. catch it right here on nbc sports bay area. well, switching to the ice. the sharks hosting the pittsburgh penguins, trying to get anything going with this season. well, a little more than a minute into the first period, the penguins got on the board. reilly smith with a goal. eric carlson, who was traded to pittsburgh last summer, got the assist on the play.

the rest of the game didn't get much. the penguins went on to score nine additional goals. final score was 10-2, the second game in a row the sharks have given up that many goals. they are still winless in 11 games. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, stanford students concerned about their safety. the incident that sent a student to the hospital and triggered a hate crime investigation. but here is "today in the bay's" kris sanchez. and more beaches being eroded by climate change. how much it could cost to protect homes and businesses from the rising sea level.

good morning. it is sunday, november 5th. we're taking a live look at the nature preserve in palo alto. the sun coming up, looking beautiful over that water today.

thanks for joining us. cinthia pimentel joins us with a quick look at your microclimate forecast. we're finally seeing some of those fall temperatures. >> yeah, that looks like a nice morning to go out there for a walk or a run with the dogs, as we get ready for changes later this afternoon. we're off to a gloomy start over san francisco as we wrap up the weekend. the high clouds pushing on through the south bay. november, that's when we really start to ramp up the rainy season in the bay area over the next couple of months, peak thing as we go into january. it will be spotty at times, not going to ruin your day completely. but there is more rain on the way for our monday morning commute. heavier at times. it should be out of here by the evening commute. so closer to this hour by hour microforecast in about ten minutes. the california highway patrol is now investigating a hate crime after a hit and run on the stanford campus.

the driver apparently targeted an arab muslim student, and it happened just before 2:00 friday afternoon. the university says the arab muslim student was walking to class when a driver hit him and yelled "f-u and your people" as he sped off. police say the man was driving a black toyota four runner. the student was taken in the hospital where he is still recovering. he put out a statement yesterday critical of stanford saying, the -- >> some stanford students feel the university needs to do more to keep all students safe. >> i think that the university needs to lead with empathy. i think that there needs to be a firm stance to protect students.

and i think that less hesitation would be important, as well. >> now, in a message to the campus community after the incident, the university said -- now to the war in the middle east, where a top israeli minister has been suspended by prime minister benjamin netanyahu over comments he made suggesting dropping a nuclear bomb on the gaza strip was an option. the prime minister says the comments were not based in reality. all of this comes as thousands of israelis protested outside of netanyahu's home, calling on him to resign and saying he has not taken responsibility for missteps that led up to hamas' attack last month. today, secretary of state antony

blinken visited the west bank where he met with palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas who called for an immediate cease-fire in gaza. this comes as israel continued its bombardment of gaza. you can see what appears to be explosions in this video right there. the israeli military says troops have encircled gaza city. more than 1.4 million people have been displaced in gaza. palestinian health officials say the death toll in gaza has climbed past 9,700 people. israel says 1,400 israelis were killed in the hamas attack, and more than 200 are still being held hostage. one of those mini protests happened yesterday in san francisco with pro-palestinian demonstrators marched downtown. a coalition of organizations were involved in bringing together the major

demonstrations. they rallied before heading out to the march. the groups joined global calls for an end to u.s. military aid in israel and a cease-fire in gaza. demonstratoring say they believe the protests are making a difference. now to follow up on a disturbing story. the man accused of decapitating a family member in the north bay is behind bars. yesterday morning, police announced the arrest of luis arroyo lopez in san francisco. the 24-year-old allegedly cut off his grandmother's head and fled with it. police haven't said if they have located the head. investigators say they believe the incident may be cartel related. he was recently recleesed from prison after serving time for assault. a trove of racist text

messages have left a san francisco cop without a job. nbc bay area broke the story friday night. sjpd released ten pages of redacted texts that the officer sent to former and current officers. the fired officer is mark mcnamara, a six-year veteran. the texts were discovered during an investigation. several messaging had racial slurs, and one said "i hate black people. "he was involved in the shooting of 20-year-old keon green in downtown san jose. green had just disarmed a gunman during a brawl. police investigating a murder nearby rushed to the restaurant and shot green as he was backing out with the gun. his family is now suing the city. text messages from june show that mcnamara used slurs when discussing the lawsuit aimed at green and his legal team made up of black lawyers.

he also joked about shooting the attorneys. we spoke to one of the lawyers who says every message was read to green and his mother. >> they were shocked. you don't expect the people that are supposed to protect you to have these type of conversations immediately following shooting you. >> that's attorney angel alexander. she -- green is expected to speak today at 11:00 a.m. in oakland with his lawyers about these texts and lawsuit. and lots of bumper-to-bumper agony in the east bay as a stretch of 680 remains closed while caltrans completes repairs. this closure stretches from south bound 680 from 880 to highway 84. it's the latest step in a massive multiyear project on

this stretch of road. caltrans says this weekend it will be replacing deteriorating roadway and making room to add an express lane. the closure is expected to continue through 4:00 a.m. on monday morning. caltrans expects to finish this entire project by winter 2025. and new research out saying that sea levels could rise 10 to 17 feet from the melting of just one sheet in the antarctica. this comes as our coasts are struggling with erosion as beaches wash away and it's costing more to protect homes and businesses. national climate reporter chase cane shows us the potential price tag of holding back the ocean. >> a video shows the ocean swallowing a home in north carolina last year. the federal government demolished those nearly. the $700,000 price tag might seem small until you consider

that 800,000 homes risk collapse over the next 30 years. they are worth roughly $500 million. sea level rise continues to eat away at beaches, dunes, and cliffs, threatening an amtrak line in california, homes in florida, delaware, massachusetts, and most recently in new york. >> i've been coming out to the pines for 25 years. i have never seen the beach look as bad as it does today. it's absolutely terrifying. even after superstorm sandy, the beaches were not this bad. >> reporter: fire island got a one-two punch from recent storms, leaving houses on the edge of collapse. and then there's a less obvious but bigger concern, emergencies. because you can see how high the water coming in. before this beach was washed away, fire trucks and ambulances could use the sand to get back and forth between communities. now that's just not an option.

>> it's putting lives at risk here in this community. if we let this go, the cost to the community, the cost to the taxpayers is going to be infinitely greater. >> reporter: the price tag, building back beaches can cost $1 million a mile. miami scoffed at this plan along its scenic water front. western carolina university protects more than $13 billion will be spent to restore beaches, tax dollars. but choosing to do nothing has cost, but a certain amount of sea level rise is baked in. >> by the end of the century, we have to plan for about three feet of global rise in sea level from those temperature and the ice monitoring components. we can do that. we can adapt, but it's going to be costly. >> reporter: a problem which will gain more attention in the coming weeks and months as king tides, the highest high tides of the year, give an unsettling

preview of what normal high tides will look like as oceans continue to rise. in new york, i'm chase cane. still to come, many are wondering what is woke. the announcement late last night from the mysterious bay area company founded by elon musk.

good sunday morning. let's look at some fall events happening around the bay area today in livermore, we have the festival of lights from 10:00 to 2:00. temperatures will be in the low 70s with cloud cover hanging on. no showers to ruin the event. to the peninsula, redwood city, we continue to celebrate here dia de los muertos. pack a jacket and umbrella as sprinkles will pick up around

redwood city. let's take it hour by hour if you are going to any other event around the bay area. i don't think you need to cancel your plans. rain will be light as we head through the afternoon, popping up in the north bay and possibly heavier cells around santa rosa. by dinnertime, we are going to see more spotty showers here and there. if you don't see the showers, it will be a gloomy day as we wrap up the weekend here. showers starting to pop up around the peninsula, around the east bay, and as we take it into tonight, clouds will hang around, picking up more moisture. more activity for our monday morning commute. take a look at the time stamp up there. we'll see the heavier showers pushing on through sonoma and lake counties as we go into the time that everybody is rushing out the door for school and work. we'll see the heavier rains over the north bay, san francisco. by mid morning, it should reach parts of the east bay and down into the south bay. but really start to push on through for the evening commute. looks a little more dry. as we take a look at our

long-range outlook, skies will clear up by the middle of the week, ushering in some cooler weather in here, though. it looks like the next rain chance could be thursday afternoon as we get more of that cloud cover over the bay area. possibly some light rain chances over the north bay for friday. but still, the weekend looks all right. the rain chances staying away to the north. but like i said, cooler days are in store. take a look at these lows in napa. we'll see the lows down into the 30s as we go into the middle of the week. so definitely the time to start searching for your umbrella. it will be some chilly mornings ahead as we look ahead at our seven-day forecast, from the low 70s today to cloudier skies and 60s in the forecast for next week. >> all right. boot season. >> boot season. >> thanks, cinthia. stay with us,

welcome back. well, another ai is joining the ranks of new interactive artificial intelligence tools. the x platform, formally known as twitter, announced growth last night, billing it as a snarky ai based on the sci-fi novel "hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy." it's programmed with whit, rebelliousness, spice, and a lot of humor. there's now a wait list for people who want a chance to try this. switching gears. last march, we discussed a shasta county move to hand count ballots in future elections instead of voting machines following unfounded allegation that is the 2020 presidential elections were rigged. the state of california enacted a law that counties must use voting machines to ensure accuracy. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston is here. now, does this legislation end

that dispute, larry? >> it ends that dispute, yeah. but there are so many others related to that. here's the deal, the constitution, remember that document? the constitution tells us lots of stuff about which government, national or state, can do whatever activities, whatever responsibilities. it says nothing about local governments. nothing. so the judges over the last couple of hundred years have said sense it says nothing, we place those responsibilities in the hands of the state. so counties and cities really have to listen to the states. well, that's the story in shasta county. they didn't want to do that, leading to the legislation. but it doesn't end the basic issue. >> if people don't like the machine counting, why not hand count? >> of course, the big fear that people have is someone is going to cheat, right? they're going to cheat and mess up the whole result. but the real issue is not cheating, it's errors. the clerk in shasta county did a simulation of the votes in the 2020 election.

69,000 people in that county, 2.8 million possible answers to the questions. because remember, somebody is running, you have a lot of people running for the same spot. she found a lot of errors. and in nevada, the next state over, a county did the same thing, they hand counted. one quarter of the votes were actually wrong. so that's the big issue. we've got to worry about making those kinds of mistakes. >> absolutely. with what's happening in shasta county, is that a one-off or representative of a larger issue we are seeing? >> it's a one-off in terms of that particular question. we get back to the issue, think about what's happening in california the last few years. covid, for example. how many counties dismissed or forced legislation of health care superintendents, because they didn't like the way they were handling it. according to the state orders. orb think about temecula down south. a school district decided they weren't going to have a social studies book dealing with gay

rights, particularly harvey milk. you know what? the state said you can't do that. so that tension between the state and local governments in california is actually growing, not going away. and if you think about it, what if we all made our own rules about criminality. what if everyone of the 481 cities made their own rules about other issues. can't do it. >> that wouldn't go well. thank you so much, larry. much more to come. next, a quick look at the top stories, including stanford students concerned about their safety. the incident that sent a student to the hospita l

welcome back. here is a quick look at the top storying we are following. the california highway patrol is investigating a hate crime after a hit and run on the stanford campus. the driver apparently targeted an arab muslim student just before 2:00 friday afternoon. the university says the student was walking to class when a driver hit him and yelled "f-u and your people." police say the man was driving a black toyota four runner. the student was taken to the hospital where he is recovering. he put out a statement, saying --

redacted texts the officer sent to a former and current officer. the fired officer was identified as mark mcnamara, a six-year veteran of the force. several of the messages have racial slurs in them and one said "i hate black people." mcnamara was involved in the shooting of 250-year-old keon green in downtown san jose. green had just disarmed a gunman during a brawl. police investigating a murder nearby rushed to the restaurant and shot green as he was backing out with the gun. the family is now suing the city. text messages from june show that mcnamara used slurs when discussing the lawsuit aimed at green and his legal team, which is made up of black lawyers. he also jokes about shooting the attorneys. we spoke to one of those lawyers who says every message was read to green and his mother. >> they were shocked. you don't expect the people that

continue through 4:00 a.m. on monday morning. caltrans expects to finish this entire project by winter 2025. and i was caught in some of that, so it will be nice when that's done. >> sometimes they do finish a little earlier than that monday timeline. of course, we are be here tracking the traffic for us. and we're going to be tracking the rain that will be moving in. it starts first in the north bay today, right after lunchtime for the north bay. and it will continue being mostly spotty, cloudy as we go into this evening. but really watch for that monday morning commute. that's when the rainy start will come on in. it shouldn't cause much of a headache for the evening commute, but breezy conditions clearing out i would say tuesday, wednesday before clouds start to come in on thursday and friday. the models are hinting at a little bit of a rain chance there, but i think it will break

apart before it gets here. if anything, it will maybe extend through the north bay mountaining. >> thanks so much, cinthia. no 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. news tonight. instead, it's football night america where the bills take on the bengals in cincinnati. we'll have the news after that at 11:00 p.m. stay tuned and up to date on nbcbayarea.com. thanks so much for making us part of your morning. have a great sunday.
