for over 300,000 nevadans, social security means a secure retirement. but in washington, congressman joe heck supports privatizing it... turning our savings over to wall street... and risking it on the stock market. 's plan means billions more in fees for wall street. and they've donated over half a million dollars to his campaigns. those numbers speak for themselves. joe heck is a threat to a secure retirement, because he's part of the problem in washington. afscme people is responsible

>> kim: we are taking you live to rio where chloe is standing by. we were talking about how much

there. i know you are working hard. but on social media see you guys hanging out with bob costas and lester that has to be a good time. >> i know. they didn't tell me lester was here. spinach editing. i'm like what. you can't help but get star struck around here. i'm excited to tell you guys right after this hit we're going to the u.s.a. house to go check out some stuff. i'm excited to bring you guys a fun story. maybe we'll bump into more athletes and be able to share those experiences with you guys. as far as the photos we've been

variety from fun things to more serious things. this morning i sent in photos and you can see off in the distance military ships patrolling the coastline keeping the entire region of rio very safe. all olympic venues are in four different parts of rio. secured. we're having a great time getting to know not annual the staff but nbc afill yachts across the country but certainly being able to catch one our local athletes. we have a few more who will be competing in the next few days. to add to the story we talked about earlier with cody miller we're waiting to hear if he will be participating in the four by

i doubt we will hear from the president directly. if he's asked about it, they may address that. they've tried to stay away from getting into tit for tat with trump. this morning in an interview on cnbc he was asked about that and he said that's what i meant because of the way that the president handled our troops in iraq. president obama was the m.v.p. of isis. he's obviously not backing down on that at all. meantime clinton today rolling out her major economic speech up in the detroit area where she will be talking about jobs and what she wants to do to deal with the economy. she's picking up a lot of support from republicans, going after republicans specifically. we'll see if they hang in there and what their response may be

speech. a lot of people in the republican party are saying they don't like trump, they don't want to vote for donald trump and are supporting hillary clinton. clearly the two parties have different outlooks on how to deal with the economy. >> kim: the trump campaign hoping to stop the bleeding with white tom has been above an accident this morning, a fatal auto pedestrian accident. cog joins us where we had a fatal auto pedestrian accident about eight hours ago. >> somebody crossing the street here at boulder and nellis in the crosswalk. the problem is that the traffic

waited until they had the right of way to go when the on coming traffic had a red light. that person didn't. that person was hit by the driver of a vehicle. there was bun person who saw all of this happen and said that the traffic had the right of way because the people in the vehicles had a green light. the driver saw the person but at the last minute tried to brake but couldn't. the pedestrian in the crosswalk but not legally in the crosswalk. that perches killed. >> kim: thank you for that live report. the breaking news continues. this time we check in with crystal. >> at least 7 people at last check still missing after that massive fire at an apartment building in maryland. 24 hurt, several others had to be rescued in that three alarm fire you see playing out on your screen right there. three firefighters injured.

gymnastics team and they are going to be in action tonight. before we get to that and you can watch every moment here on 3, we are hearing from alli on today. >> i think all the girls agree there is nothing as amazing and special as being able to win the team gold medal. whatever else happens, the rest is icing on top of the cake. >> her parents are a ton of fun to watch as well. it's just as much fun to watch the stands and their reactn that full interview on "the today show" coming up this morning. >> dana: as we send it up to tom simon expected to win gold, alli could win the silver. >> tom: i'm going to set my dvr to pick up all the action. we are on the scene of an auto pedestrian accident. the closure starts back here at bruce.

orange cones across the roadway. police are taking a look at this red pickup truck here that has front end damage. this was originally reported as a hit and run. we're not sure if that's the vehicle but we have seen police examining that truck. >> jeff: we're looking at 15 north bound at flamingo. had an accident working there earlier but not causing any slowing. there is slowing 15 southnd bowl. this stretch will take you 11 minutes 15 south bound between downtown and tropicana. let's get a final check of the thursday forecast. >> kelly: we are seeing a lot of sunshine in the las vegas area right now. as we look to the east, there are clouds off in the distance. thunderstorms a possibly east of the las vegas valley today. here is a live look outside.

the last couple of days as far as the haze is concerned. temperatures stepping out the door pretty comfortable. centennial 77 right now. spring valley 82. paradise you are 83. wind nice and light, not going to be an issue for us this afternoon, none of that blow drier effect today. there is still a chance of thunderstorms, mainly arizona, utah and parts of lincoln county and far eastern clark county. s dry. pahrump 100 today. boulder city 98 is your expected high. not bad. not bad for august at all. 100 in las vegas. 104 tomorrow but it's going to get hot this weekend. great weekend to stay in the air conditioning and watch the olympics. >> dana: time for the water cooler now. you've seen the face on michael phelps prerace. they call it the phelps face. he looks very serious. not all swimmers will before their races.
