. now at 11:00, a california woman escapes a war zone and leaves behind a family worried they may never see her again. >> hearing him cry, a 50 something-year-old man. gambling with your health, why everyone who has have thed this contra costa county casino lately is being urged to get a very specific test. does it drive you crazy when you see people? >> are you disgusted by filthy b.a.r.t. trains? at least you're not the one who has to clean them. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hello. i'm sara donchey. weeks have felt like years for families of americans trapped in gaza. a woman from california who was there seeing relatives wasn't sure she would ever get out as airstrikes rained missiles down all around

her. she's from southern california and has family here in the bay area and her son has been fighting his own battle here from the u.s. doing everything he could think of to try and get his mom out. i talked to nabil alshurafa about his mother. after weeks of steeling himself for a phone call his mother was no longer alive, nabil alshurafa picked up the phone call from his uncle and heard the news he wasn't expecting. >> my mother got out. she is on the rafah side and he sent this message this morning and i could feel the tears in his eyes and it's just so sad because he also doesn't know if he's going to make it, if he's ever going to see her again. >> nabil's mother, niella, who lives in camarillo, had been have visiting family in gaza.

ever since nabil has been trying to get her out of gaza via egypt, but the crossing was either too busy or the border was closed. niella took this video inside her family home in gaza. >> they're bombing the area. >> after remember after that communication blackout i spoke to mom and she was just in tears and everyone was in tears. they didn't know. they thought that's it. they cut us off from the world and they're going to finish us. >> nabil said she hid out with dozens of people rationing food and water while he frantically contacted government officials stateside begging them to help his mom. when nabil finally got the call from his uncle that niella left gaza, he called the moment bittersweet. >> it's so hard to tell him i was happy, hearing him cry, a 50 something-year-old man. >> nabil said this photo of his mom was taken just after she had crossed into egypt, but that her thoughts stayed with her family trapped in a war zone on the other side. >> right now there is just a

plan for her to rest, to make sure that mentally and her morale just goes up a little bit because she's just been fighting for her family. we want her to rest with family in egypt and slowly we'll start talking about booking her a flight to come back to the u.s. >> nabil says he had to take some time away from work to spend time lobbying to get his mom to safety. now that she is safe, he says he's working to get his elderly grandmother out, too and is begging for all civilians in gaza to be given a path to safety regardless of their citizenship. while some americans like niella have been able to leave gaza, the u.s. supports hundreds more are stuck there. now a bay area law firm is suing the u.s. government accusing it of not doing enough to get palestinian americans out. >> when calls to the state department and contact with the state department is met with generic templated emails, they have no choice but to seek

legal resource and hold our government accountable. >> two bay area families filed the suit. at least one of the women has gotten out. the u.n. said today four of their schools turned shelters have been hit by israeli airstrikes in the last 24 hours and a top idf commander claims israeli forces are surrounding gaza city on three sides. there has been violence also at the lebanese border with iranian-backed hezbollah has been firing at israel. this is what it looked like on the streets of northern israel after a rocket struck a neighborhood there. hamas claims it fired 12 of them from lebanon. local media reports two people were hurt in this blast. back here in the bay area, smoky skies caught a lot of us off guard today. check out this time lapse of the smoke over the bay from our salesforce cameras. this afternoon smoke filled the air in marin and san

francisco and stretched down to the san mateo bridge. it was smoke from two different fires, one in el cerrito that burned dangerously close to homes, the other a controlled burn at china camp state park in marin county. darren, we could see another controlled burn in marin top. could we see more smoke like this tomorrow? >> we could. they are thinking of doing another one closer to novato. no doubt this caught people's attention today. the time lapse shows the smoke drifting southward out of southern marin. this is the fire out at china camp state park and it wasn't just here. if you look at the vantage point from the mark hopkins hotel, there's that plume of smoke visible in the higher elevations that was caught up in northerly winds that were taking it down to the southern part of the bay. here's what happened today in marin. we actually did register unhealthy for sensitive groups in a time in greenbrae which sits about here in southern marin. just a heads up. if they do that burn

again tomorrow, this is a good thing and it's kind of an unavoidable situation and just know you don't want to breathe any more in than you have to and it's temporary and it's all according to the plan. i'll see you with the rest of the forecast in a bit. we might have a little more rain for the weekend, more on that in a few minutes. >> thank you. going to a casino is by definition a gamble, but usually you're just risking your money, not your health. tonight contra costa county has linked several cases of tuberculosis back to the california grand casino in pacheco and andrea nakano tells us they advise anyone who has been there in the last five years to get a test. >> reporter: the contra costa county health department has found 11 cases of tuberculosis and it says a majority of those cases are associated with either staff members or customers at this casino. now it's asking anyone who has been inside in the last five years

to get tested. >> with tuberculosis you can do testing. >> reporter: dr. peter chin hong has treated patients with a number of deadly diseases. >> tuberculosis is one of the leading killers in the world today. >> reporter: according to the contra costa health department, of the 11 confirmed cases, ten are genetically thinks. the doctor says with this bacterial infection it's easy to trace the strain and find out how many people have been infected. >> with the fingerprints analysis or genetic analysis linking them all together suggests that they all have a common ancestor and it's all related to that common exposure. >> i have lysol wipes. >> reporter: lisa lives in contra costa county. she didn't know about the recent cases of tuberculosis, but she is always on high alert for any type of germs and disease. >> i would just hope that with everything else happening in our world today, that we're all

taking the necessary precautions to protect ourselves and each other. >> reporter: becky warren, a spokesperson for the california grand casino, says contra costa health has not identified any ongoing sources of transmission at the card room. we are actively collaborating with the county on notifications and testing to uphold public health and safety. coco county is recommending for those that have been at the casino dating back to 2018 to get tested citing evidence that tb spread may have started five years ago. dr. hong says it's not surprising since the bacteria can lay dormant for years. >> in most people it actually does not cause disease actively at that point, but it can go into hiding and over the next two or so years or so it can come out of hiding, what we call reactivation, and cause disease in some people. coming up, from down and

dirty to squeaky clean -- >> what kind of sun do i see? what don't i see? >> in a lot of cases, you can't unsee it. we'll take you inside for b.a.r.t.'s deep clean. you might have to tilt your head a little to appreciate it, why the warriors' new city jersey has been getting some slanted reaction. ♪i want you to be glad for me ♪. new music from the beatles with a little help from ai, but tonight that same tech has some musicians longing for yesterday. b.a.r.t. is a train wreck. there's a guy smoking crack on my car. >> people no longer think of b.a.r.t. as safe. >> it's lost about 60% of its average daily riders. >> from the ideal ride to a public transit system in

financial peril, how did b.a.r.t. go off the tracks and what will it take to woo back riders? join us for

you might have seen the social media posts needles stuck in seats, dirty floors,

people openly using drugs on crowded trains. you might have a horror story of your own, but cleanliness specifically has been a major complaint of b.a.r.t. riders. the agency has been trying everything to lure passengers back on board. that includes more regular deep cleanings of the train cars. tonight wilson walker gives us a look at how that's done. >> what kind of sun do i see? oh, what don't i see? >> reporter: kicking off his overnight shift at b.a.r.t.'s coleman yard, demarri clark has seen it all. >> i've seen a lot of things on these trains. i've seen animals. i've seen chickens. >> we usually see gum, graffiti. >> reporter: overseeing the cleaning crews, rose berdette, who after 28 years has developed a well trained eye

for grime. >> you see the dirt on the baseboards behind the seat backs? >> reporter: this, however is, no everyday cleaning. this is the deep clean, b.a.r.t.'s all out every nook and cranny effort to fight back against whatever the bay area throws at these trains. >> every 400 hours when they come in top to bottom. >> reporter: each car takes two people and about two to three hours. >> the train's really bad, i'll put three people on there. >> reporter: it's not just scrubbing. the entire car is doused in disinfectant. >> even the things people don't touch. >> reporter: while the new trains are said to be easier to clean, they still take a beating. >> sometimes this is excess paint from us having to spray paint the seats that don't come off or that the graffiti doesn't come off. >> reporter: this is not the only cleaning the train gets. they're swept out a couple times during the day. they are cleaned out the end of the day, but this thorough deep cleaning

was originally done every 900 hours. they backed it down to 400 hours during the pandemic and, yes, the people who clean your b.a.r.t. trains out, they understand what it is that riders are seeing every day. >> i know sometimes i get on the train. there's a dirty seat, i won't sit there. >> reporter: does it drive you crazy when you see people throw trash? >> yes. i see people throw trash and because i am a customer at that time on my way into work, i just have to watch them. there's nothing you can really do until i make a call and have someone board that train to please take care of that ice cream. i know it's tough on the customer. that's why we're doing everything we can. >> you never know what you're getting with a train. only thing you know is the ending result. you want to get a clean train. >> reporter: so every night a handful of cars get the full treatment no matter what they bring in before heading back out to the wild for the next 400 hours. >> that's not easy work. i'm

sure a lot of us appreciate those hard working crews. next week we're taking a deep dive into all of b.a.r.t.'s problems since the pandemic and from well before. our special week long series "b.a.r.t. on the brink" start sunday. former crypto king sam bankman-fried is facing up to 110 years in prison tonight. the ftx founder was convicted of fraud and conspiracy and a scheme to cheat investors out of at least $10 billion, the world's second largest cryptocurrency exchange that imploded last year and the industry has not fully recovered. the company had a spectacular rise and fall. you might remember the former ftx arena in miami. the company even had a super bowl ad with larry david. ftx inked sponsorship deals with tom brady and the bay's own steph curry. the warriors revealed their

new city edition uniforms. this is our betty yu. the font is inspired by the cable car route signs and the lopsided text is a nod to the city's steep hills. reaction on social media, as it often is, was mixed. cam tweeted out he might be the on one who likes the black and yellow scheme. one person posted they would only change the font of san francisco, but it will grow on them. someone else posted that they hate the font, but they like the reason behind the curved text and the shorts are nice. darren is tracking the forecast for us, including rain. >> we'll start with where it's not falling or where it is falling apart. look at our lot in life in terms of rainfall, being on the very southern edge of the storm track right now. we're watching the last several hours on first alert doppler. look at that. it looked promising and then seemingly evaporated and disappeared.

this was a pretty impressive storm up there like through oregon. we're just on the southern edge and it kind of fell apart. we'll take a moment in a bit and look out at the next one. the one coming for saturday might do us a better turn and it's going to hold together a little longer, but since we know we're out of the rain business at least the next 24 hours, let's talk about tomorrow in terms of how it feels. if you've been enjoying the temperatures, 7 to 8 degrees above average, low humidity, sunshine except for a few high clouds, you'll get it again tomorrow, 81 in san jose. you should be in the low 70s this time of year. livermore 81, san francisco 72, why not? let's keep doing that. if you're going to do it, this is the time of year when you get a bunch of 70-degree days. i know a lot of people near the water are loving this, as you should. 67 would be the average in san francisco right now. even 72, even for early november, that's above average. if you look into the north bay, we'll be near

80. that's friday. enjoy it. let's talk about that next system. when we look out in the pacific, that storm does look pretty good. it's got a nice little form to it. when we put it into futurecast, watch this big slug of moisture come right towards the west coast. let's come in for a closer look at our little branch of that. we'll slow it down. this one has been falling apart in the forecast model throughout the day. 5:00, it had us getting a quarter inch of rain, 5:00 today. it changed its mind since then. that's been the way these systems have been or at least that's been the way the models have been interpreting these systems. the word i've been using the last several days and so has paul, we were looking at the two different types of models, i was using wobbly because the models kept going back and forth. on sunday perhaps a few of the straggler showers could get pulled in through the bay. we're keeping the forecast the same. there's

a small chance for light rain saturday and sunday. that's how we're putting this. it wouldn't be a lot. keep your plans. just know the way the system is coming together, late saturday into sunday, maybe a few light showers and the most likely place for that would be the north bay. in the seven-day forecast we start out by looking at the inland valleys. there's saturday, but here's sunday with kind of a little bit more misty scene playing out in the sunday tube. it would probably be at tops about a 1/4 inch of rain in the north bay should this come together and another one is back here tuesday. we didn't put rain in that yet. that's the one we're keeping an eye on, same story. when we look at the different models, there is disagreement, but there's the possibility for -- two of the major models anyway -- we could see some light rain back here monday and tuesday, could be one, the other, could be both the way this fall's been going. we'll keep them broad brushed and not get too locked into anything yet. boy, doesn't tomorrow look

great, sunny and mid-70s in the bay and low 80s inland. back to you. we'll look to sports. they are the longest tenured trio in the nba this season, but the dubs big three still act like kids. plus it's become almost a fun question. did the sharks finally get a win tonight? well, their tenth crack at it wasn't even a laughing mart. laughing matter.

i know a lot of the early hype has been with the spurs, but there is still a lot of excitement about the dubs. >> there's a whole league out there. it's been a near perfect start for golden state, a 4-1 record, but before the year began a lot of what was being made of the warriors was klay thompson's contract situation, whether or not this was the final year of the big three. if you watch that team, that idea doesn't seem to have any hole

over them. thompson's near buzzer beater was his first game winner in five years. as soon as he hit it, klay ran right to draymond green's arms. they embrace. those two along with steph curry continue to show their chemistry in their 12th season as teammates. >> he was ready to do something crazy, but draymond bear hugged him. it's cool however many years later those moments where klay hits a huge shot, the first person gets a bear hug, it's draymond. i don't ever take those moments for granted knowing how long we've been doing this. >> still kids. hockey, sharks, back home hosting the canucks. they're still looking for their first win of the season. it was not coming tonight. vancouver scored three goals in the first eight minutes and led 8-0 after two periods. they go on to win 10-1, san jose 's worst home

loss. the sharks are 0-9-1 and also are the only winless team in the nhl. thursday night football, terrible towels out as steelers hosted the titans. pittsburgh trailing 16-13, four minutes left. kenny pickett to diontae johnson, catches his first touchdown since january 2022. the steelers win 20-16 and are 5-3, makes that 9ers week one victory look even better. we talked a lot about bruce bochy leading the rangers to their first world series title. it's easy when the subject is winning, but on the other side was diamondbacks manager torrey lovullo who was emotional after the loss. then he says what he wants to do to get over the loss. >> i want to run away and hide a few days, go camping and sit in the tent and suck my thumb,

you know, and eat ice cream. is that the weirdest answer you guys have ever had? >> yes, but i loved it. i felt like i was watching michael scott a second. i can't imagine the heartbreak of losing a world series and we're happy for bruce bochy, but i thought it was a good answer. it was refreshing to hear a coach actually talk about he's going to be sad and it's okay. time i see a consequential game like that, i always feel bad for the losing team. >> and they sit on the dugout and watch the other team celebrate. i don't know how they do that. >> especially with the baseball season being so long. >> 163 games plus the playoffs. >> still an accomplishment and a good answer. thank you, matt. it is the only original beatles recording of the 21st century and you can listen to it right now and the whole group got together with a little help from ai, why some artists are concerned that help might be too much. cbs is bringing some girl

power to late night, standup comic taylor tomlinson taking over james corden's old spot with a whole new show. "after midnight" will premier early next year.

♪now and then i miss you ♪. more than four decades

after john lennon's death, ai brought us the final beatles song. lennon first recorded "now and then" in the late '70s, but the quality was too poor to complete it. ai was able to extract his original vocals to blend with paul mccartney and ringo starr's musical competitions. some artists say they're worried someday they may hear a new song of theirs that they had nothing to do with. >> reporter: earlier this year an ai track that claimed to have drake and the weekend's voice generated millions of views online. >> it was kind of a trip because we're like hey, this is hard. >> reporter: that's bay area artist adrian marcel. >> your rhythms, your cadences, i mean just, you know, vocal tones when you're screaming or when you're more vibey, it's complex and it gets scary because this is the only thing

that we can control of ours. >> the things that make us us as individuals are now being able to be manipulated. >> reporter: they tell us sometimes ai canning used in positive ways, bouncing ideas off of it like an extra person in the room. >> we look up words and we'll look up stuff and we're in a little writing crunch and we're like we don't know what word to use for something that we're feeling. so we'll look something up. >> reporter: but creating a song with an artist's voice is another level. >> how deep does it go till i have records out there that are going crazy and i'm not getting paid for them? >> reporter: we talked with an attorney based out of boston lewis tompros who focuses on intellectual property litigation. >> generally it is not okay to take somebody else's work without permission, but the law does provide a lot of room for fair use to allow and foster creativity and that's the line that we're trying to draw in the artificial intelligence space. >> reporter: he tells us the

number of disputes about artificial intelligence in the music industry in the last few months has really skyrocketed. >> where things get much more problematic is when this is done without permission. so when we see people making songs that sound like they are by drake or songs that sound like they're by johnny cash without getting permission to do so, that's where the legal lines become much more blurry. >> when you're making music and you're listening to music, there's a level of humanity that you are expecting and you want to maintain when listening to music. >> they can't tell our story we've been through. that's what ai will miss out completely on if people are allowing ai to write their music. >> ai replacing us one day. >> ai news anchors, although it would probably sound a lot more real than i did. >> just for clarity on the beatles because i'm such a huge fan, all ai was involved in this particular project was the

technology to clear up john's voice. that is all. everything is real in that song, but because paul said, "we used ai," everybody thought you're faking john. that's not what he meant and not what they did. so there's a little confusion with that. >> but it still sounds like the best of the beatles. >> it does. i listened to it about 20 times. thank you so much for watching! "the late show" with stephen colbert is next.
