everything. >> dana: one-on-one chloe beardsley talking to an olympic gymnast from nevada. what he's saying about that competition coming up. also black listed. and there's a question mark here because this morning the monkey from mccarren is not real happy with frontier airlines. but another airline to the rescue. our craig welcome in. the sun is coming up in the east this morning on this tuesday, august 16th. the number one draft choice in the nfl jared goff out of uc berkeley didn't know where the sun came up. >> kim: aaron rodgers he is not. i don't know about ability yet. but aaron rodgers seems to be a smart guy. the quarterback. that is a true story.

we have a lot of local story. we have monkey business for sure taking place at mccarren airport and the implosion and we have it all covered. >> dana: monkey sighting. a monkey at mccarren. we do have weather and traffic every ten minutes. kelly has the forecast. jeff has traffic. >> reporter: i mentioned an accident in the downtown area at las vegas boulevard and bridger right here in front o federal building. as we do the big zoom, it looks like one vehicle there but it's pointed the wrong way. that's not good. got it pointing north. this is southbound lanes. drivers sitting on the curb wondering what is going to come through this. the bus trying to squeeze its way. backed up a little bit. watch out for that one on las vegas boulevard. other than that, we're looking pretty good on the freeways as we tilt up and show you i15. let's continue team traffic. >> dana: thank you.

3 to go investigate is 15 northbound near sahara. we have reports of police activity right about here. so 15 northbound is where it's indicated. but southbound we are seeing some slow that go backs up to the bowl. that could be just part of the commute itself between downtown and tropicana. eight minutes on that stretch. now for a check of the tuesday forecast, here is kelly. a gorgeous sunrise to get tuesday started. some clouds back there for even more beautiful colors. here is a look at what we're expecting. a whole lot of sunshine. 94 degrees at 9:00 a.m. 103 by noon. 108 at 4:00. that's our expected high. but i think you might like the forecast for the weekend. we'll take a look at that coming up. >> anchor: kelly, thank you. 6:02, new this morning the weather conditions perfect for what happened around 2:30 this morning. the riviera is no more.

[ explosion ] >> kim: that implosion taking place with little fanfare. the first one they made a bigger ta do over in june. but what they're doing, why they're leveling this place is to make more convention space for our local convention authority. if you want to watch every moementd, we have you covered. go to the james bond film diamonds are forever. casino played prominent there at the riviera in 1995. and something dana and i just checked out yesterday, the new jason bourne film where they come crashing through the iconic front piece of the riviera. three men accused of a gruesome crime with ties to a mexican drug cartel are going to be in a local courtroom about

it started as a fire so people rushed to the scene. the emergency crews. when they got inside that house, they found an entire family had been zip tied and lit on fire. apparently they had also been stabbed here too. mario and angelica jimines were stabbed to death. they succumb from the injuries suffered by the fire after set on fire. apparently this is a mexican drug deal gone bad. somebody had been given 80,000 to $100,000 in drugs. those drugs were later seized by federal authority and as a result the man couldn't pay back his debt so he struck first. this is all according to local police. those three men accused of this heinous crime are going to be in a local courtroom this morning. we're going to see their faces

>> kim: whenever there's a cartel situation in las vegas, it makes the news. live from rio continues this morning with 6:05 with chloe beardsley. chloe, we've already had michael live on the show. right now you're featuring a gymnast from the state of nevada. >> reporter: that's right. jacob from northern nevada neck this time around, he's just happy to have been able to come to the olympics again. and he credit most of his success to his parents and his wife. now, he started training for the olympics very early on as a very young boy. he did most of his training in northern nevada when he was about 9 years old. his parents actually bought a gym and started running it out of the sparks area. he competed over the weekend.

the floor exercise. the team all around finished in fifth place and jake got sixth in the men's floor exercise. but, like i said, he told me he's very thankful for the fans continuing to support him throughout his journey. >> to be with these guys, you would almost pick everything. it's hard to do. high pressure situations staying on my feet. but just a little too happy. >> even after a little disappointing finish, they're always supportive. there's always si thanking us. never anything negative. that's what i love about them. >> reporter: and jake said he's especially grateful for his followers on instagram. he has over 314,000 followers on twitter. nearly 80,000 people followed the olympic and world medalist. and after the olympics, jake plans to do a post olympics tour for the fans. and after that, he's going to keep training. he's hoping to be back at the next olympics.

chloe beardsley. >> kim: chloe, thanks so much for that. we'll see here in the next half-hour. this is when we apologize to our local olympian. you didn't see jake in the footage. that was sam makulak who is team usa's best gymnast. we apologize for that one. whenever chloe is not talking on live television, you can always keep up with her and what she's doing in rio and reed that he scored after a big interview after what happened with him and the robbery situation. you can watch reed's interview with ryan lochte. >> dana: the united states still leads. 26 of them gold. china in second place with 46 total medals. 6:07 happening today, we're about two weeks out from the start of the clark county school district year. but a major vote is set for just

las vegas. it could have major impact on your child's education. michele joins us live with the details on this one. >>reporter: a massive plan to reorganize the school district. it was met last week with criticism. for the first time, we heard from the biggest decision makers. that's the school board members of the plan would essentially flip the school district model on to its head and make a lot of changes. principals, teachers and parents, for one, would decide how money is spent in your child's classroom. a committee of lawmakers in charge with approving the final plan will vote on it later this morning. and after today's vote, the plan will go to the state board of education for consideration and for approval. >> dana: and the argument here is the fifth largest school

decision for the valley. we know how diverse the valley is. now they're giving more power for the local schools to determine how to best educate our children. >> kim: thanks, michele, for underscoring what's been going on. there's been bad reporting on this town, not on this station. but i've had parents come up with me what is it they're breaking up the clark county. you got it right this morning. for that we thank you. >> dana: the reorganization. although some should argue they should break up. but that's a different conversation. >> dana: you got it. there's a monkey on my plane. >> kim: yes, that is true. right now in the air as we speak for the details, let's take you live to mccarren airport for some tr true monkey business. craig, for people that have not seen the original story, there's a man that jumped on a plane from ohio to las vegas with a monkey. he gets black listed according

reporting on this. >> reporter: the guy you're talking about we're going to check out video we have of him going through security on a flight from ohio to las vegas. he did board a frontier flight with his monkey. it is a registered service animal, he says. the monkey was on the flight, the frontier flight. 8?cpjzpy]g-c?v%3mjw??8""w4q?# he's returning from ohio to las vegas. the monkey is on his shoulder. that's jason ellis. when he went to book the return flight there was a problem. frontier would not let him fly, he says, because of the incident last week. they were concerned about the monkey's registration. so he's returning on southwest. he's also a bit unhappy because he had planned to fly back to ohio and now he says he can never fly on frontier again. that's what he was told. >> i check in and it's like

something something something. so i called him. the guy said you should be okay. just go up to the front counter and they'll check you in. that wasn't the case. i talked to the manager of frontier in vegas. there was nothing he could do. he's never seen somebody come off the black list before. i'll definitely be the first. >> reporter: back here live at mccarren. he's back in the air midnight to ohio. southwest didn't have a problem. why fly with they're inseparable. they get anxious when they are a part. he has doctors orders to substantiate that claim, hence the service animal declaration. i'm reporting live. news 3. >> dana: gizmo seems amiable enough. is there reason to be afraid of this monkey? >> reporter: he does. i was around him today. >> dana: thanks, craig.

[ cheers and applause ] >> there will be very serious consequences. similar to the effort to take down the mafia, this will be the understood mission of every prosecutor in the country. [ cheers and applause ] >> dana: he also talked about extreme vetting for immigrants that want to come into our country from countries that export terrorism. at 6:17, we take you back to rio for this one where our golden girl of the game simone biles ends up scing bronze. it was a rough night for simone and it was the move right there.

talking about in prime time last night. huge deduction as a result. that's why she did not get the gold. got the bronze instead. and as we take a live look out of rio right now, her teammate lori hernandez who some refer to as the human emoji because she's so darn cute and expressive, she takes home silver. and both of them are talking about on the today show this morning. stick with news 3 for that full interview just a little bit later. tom >> reporter: several events she's in. right now a couple of fender benders to watch out for. this one is westbound at the ramp to the 215 eastbound. a couple of vehicles. over on the right side blocking a lane. not causing too much commotion. then you have this one. nice looking car but it's pointed the wrong direction. it looks like it did a little spinout. ejected driver on the curb. metro coming over to try to

that is just past bridger. >> jeff: thanks. the off ramp from 2:15 is the only accident we're following right now. everything else is in the clear, including the freeway. 215 westbound will take you nine minutes. all other freeways are clear at the moment. including 15 southbound. a reminder to join the news 3 las vegas waze team. you can tell us what you see during your commute. don't do it as you're driving. now let's get a tuesday forecast with kelly. >> reporter: thanks, jeff. as we look at the overlook camera, tons of sunshine looking north. if you look to the east, a few more clouds out there. temperatures, though, a lot more pleasant than yesterday morning. this time yesterday we were in the upper 80s, low 90s. el dorado 77. now, as far as the satellite radar picture is concerned.

to the east. a little bit of light shower activity in parts of northern and northeastern arizona. for us, it's going to be clear skies today. lots of sunshine. and another hot one too. 108. winds expected out of the south. the good news is, though, check out this trend as we head through the rest of the week. the temperatures cooling off relatively speaking, of course. at least down to where they should be this time of year. 102 for friday and saturday. good. this is probably the moment from the olympics last night. kim refers to this as the pete rose head first slide. this is alex felix right here from the united states but this is the woman shawnae miller from the bahamas that won the race. allison felix definitely disappointed she didn't win the gold. got the silver last night. however, she still wins her seventh medal right now the most

athlete from the united states of all time. so the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. and when you are a victor, what is it like when you get home? what are they chanting, who are they chanting for? we take you to the scene coming up. >> dana: i heard it was armstrong. i thought it was neil armstrong at first. it was not. [ laughing ] allison you saw how she lost that race but taking home silver. coming up in about ten what was going through her mind in the final ten meters of that race last night. and 6:21. earlier this morning you saw the live pictures. now some of the video of the

. we are doing all right for the most part around the valley. we do have a little situation in the downtown area involving a nice looking car. it did a little spinout maneuver. it's pointing north. that's why police are doing walkover trying to get this one figured out. that's the only accident really

there's a little other fender bender. no big deal. let's get to the weather now with kelly. >> reporter: thanks, tom. beautiful blue skies to get the day started. if you're heading out, you want to go for a walk. a little run. temperatures cooler than yesterday. here is what we're looking at, boulder city 82. pahrump at 62 degrees. another hot afternoon. you see temperatures 107. even 108 in the las vegas valley. but cooler temperatures for the weekend. i'll have an update in minutes. >> kim: kelly, wouldn't it be nice when we walked in from work to have a response like this. >> dana: you can get this response. all you have to do is win a gold medal. they were yelling armstrong. >> armstrong, armstrong, armstrong, armstrong. >> dana: that is kristin armstrong.

she's a bike racer. she races against what they call a time trial. my favorite part of this story, kimberly, is she is 43 years old. >> kim: i'm 43. >> dana: i wasn't going to ask you. you said 43. >> kim: if you're not getting older, you're no longer here. >> dana: she is now 43 years of age. my question for you, are you going to win a medal at age 43. >> kim: no, i'm not. i went to maybe. i don't think so. 6:26. still to come, there is a controversy involving a slogan on a t-shirt this morning. i kid you not. we're going to share the slogan and get your take coming up. we live if a politically correct world this morning. right. decision 2016. live from washington. this is the top of the washington monument right towards the lincoln memorial in the center of your screen. and mike

oh -- ohhh! she slimed me. [ laughs ] for seniors like barbara, social security makes a difference every month. but for the wall street types who've given congressman joe heck's campaigns social security could mean billions of dollars in fees. that's what privatizing social security means and why joe heck and wall street support it. under heck's privatization plan, retirement security gets risked on the stock market. and the wall street types supporting joe heck make billions. whose side are you on? senate majority pac is responsible

. she has to take responsibility. >> dana: back in court a local woman responsible for a deadly hit and run according to police is back in court for the second day in a row. we break it down. also still to come, don't miss a moment. we are your olympic station and that is all encompassing. we're checking in with nbc's jay grey with the moments from prime time and what to ? music ?? [ laughing ] >> dana: dancing to vanilla ice ice baby. >> get out of here. [ laughing ] live from las vegas, this is news 3 today. 6:30 on your tuesday morning. why are we showing rubble from i3. >> kim: while most people were

a planned implosion. happened four hours ago. now you're seeing the remnants right now on your screen. thank you tom hawley in sky 3. >> dana: i'm so glad we have a helicopter. >> kim: i know. >> dana: we're lucky. not every news station can afford to have a helicopter. >> kim: kim and dana wagner here this morning. thanks for spending time with us. also still to come we're checking in with craig from the airport and talking monkey news this morning. another airline at play. my question is, if you calm me down, could you be my service animal when we fly? i wonder if there's a reduced rate? >> dana: i don't know. we're talking about animals here. one small, one large. so somehow you hear the rubble this morning from the riviera. you're getting a bird's-eye view of that iconic property. >> reporter: yes. it came up and opened in 1955 and here 61 years later it is

so now comes the process of hauling it away little by little. there were three main towers. the original one that was right here. that came down last night as well. and then you had the monte carlo tower. that's this pile of rubble. and the montego tower. all that's left is the utility building. it looks like they're tearing that down by conventional means. a big gap now no signs of activity anywhere in the future and eventually we'll see another center. we're looking at 215 westbound just past sahara. 15 southbound is actually moving along pretty good considering what time it is. in fact, your travel times seven minutes from downtown to tropicana. 215 westbound looking all right. no delays.

here is kelly. >> reporter: lots of sunshine to get things started. temperatures not too bad. we have upper 70s, low 80s. by noon, 103 and 108 at 3:00. that's our expected high for the day. but temperatures will be cooling off heading towards the weekend. i'll have details in ten minutes. 6:33. it turns out simone biles is human after all. with an uncharacteristic error last night in gymnastics. nbc jay >> reporter: a flip and a slip for simone biles leaves her holding on for bronze on the balance team. teammate lori fernandez won silver. allison felix is the most decorated track and field when shawn nay miller from the bahamas took a dive. >> i had to have won the race.

race. she grabbed the bronze. action in the 200. that's his favorite race. and gymnastics wraps up finals -- biles trying to add a fourth medal. she's the reigning world champion in the event. jay grey, nbc news, rio. >> dana: biles will compete against ali tonight. and jennings and ross from the united states taking on beach volleyball. at 6:34, something happening today. we'll have wide ranging implications for a particular woman here in town. she is suspected of driving drunk and causing a deadly accident and she faces a judge yet again. for details on what to expect, we check in live with our kyndel nunly. >> reporter: good morning.

witnesses to testify. that's the night that they say whitney greco hit and ran over colin that night as he was walking on the road. now, yesterday in court i can tell you the courtroom was definitely packed. police say greco left the scene and failed field sobriety and breath lieser tests when they caught up with her. her defense attorney is countering cowan is at fault because of where he was walking the night of the crash. yesterday the courtroom w supporters from both sides of the case divided half in matching blue shirts for the defendant and on the other half for the victim who they say was killed two days before his wedding. >> she got to be in jail. she got to be behind bars and take responsibility for what he was doing. >> he was talking on the telephone with his back to traffic. he was three feet into the side of the road. my client had the right-of-way.

mortem to be heard today. we'll be back in the courtroom to bring you updates right here on news 3. reporting live in las vegas las vegas, kyndell nunley. a new restaurant that has a new slogan. some people say it's clever. others say it's absolutely offensive. we're going to let you decide coming plus. ? music ?? >> kim: this is another rap that you can see a famous face in the mix. what is dick vandyke doing at this denny's. he's singing by why. we have that on the way. and the latest implosion on your screen for the las vegas building. two buildings came down in the old riviera site. that thing opened 61 years ago. but we just saw it featured

david was proud to be an american soldier. and i know i'm prejudiced because he was my son, but i don't think he had a mean bone in his body. there is not a day that i don't think about david. when i saw donald trump attack another gold star mother, i felt such a sense of outrage. "she was standing there, she had nothing to say..." anyone in america think he would respect them.

it's 6:39. a controversy this morning with a slogan. black olives matter. >> dana: others say it's trivializing a message about black lives matter. others are saying take it easy. we're too politically correct these days. let's say it's you. we would love to hear your opinion. find us on facebook. just search for kim and dana wagner. >> kim: i would dana wagner. i would also like tom hawley on this. here he is in news 3. >> reporter: i'm just wondering if donald is a follower of the kim and dana facebook page. we'll take everyone we can get. parkway is down to a single lane. this is where they're putting in a new median cable barrier system. so when it's down to a single

the evening hours if it gets down to one. they generally tried to do it in the over night hours. it's looking good in terms of accident. let's get to your weather and kelly. >> reporter: thanks, tom. lots of sunshine. temperatures not that bad. if you want to go out there and take the dog for a nice long walk, do it now before those temperatures get too hot. southeast academy showing tons of sunshine. the weather station there reporting 84 degrees right now. that's the current temperature. we are looking at that's the expected high. partly sunny skies with scattered showers and maybe even a couple of thunderstorms in the forecast. >> anchor: and a live weather window from there in moments because the team coverage of the olympics in rio continues with chloe beardsley taking us to one of the seven wonders of the world. she shares her experience ahead. and live from rio, the usa men's basketball team in action tomorrow in the quarterfinals.

but they looked far from it. do you know who is better than

for over 300,000 nevadans, social security means a secure r retirement. but in washington, congressman joe heck supports privatizing it... turning our savings over to wall street... and risking it on the stock market. heck'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. because he's part of the problem in washington. afscme people is responsible

. thanks for staying with us. two people in the hospital with serious injuries after a knife attack on board a train in western austria. police say a suspect has been arrested and austrian police say this man, a german national, likely responsible for this appeared mentally disturbed but

motive. this comes just three days after a man attacked passengers aboard a crowded train and a month after a train in germany. a tough time over there. from the serious to silly, we have monkey business to report out at mccarren airport. who did we send? craig, of course. he's reporting live. and the service pet that continues to dominate the headlines. first it was with frontier. now there's a new airline in the mix. craig. >> reporter: there is. so the person who has this service animal's name is jason ellis. we got video from him just about an hour and a half ago before he boarded a flight from las vegas to ohio. thinks service animal, his monkey about 8 inches in length is gizmo. that's gizmo on his shoulder. he had a little bit of a stir last week on a flight on frontier to las vegas. he had the paperwork but it was in his checked luggage so he

flight from las vegas to ohio. this morning he says frontier wouldn't sell him a ticket. we've been unable to confirm this directly with frontier. it was a problem for him so much so he flew back this morning with gizmo on his shoulder on southwest. reporting from mccarren on this tuesday morning, news 3. >> dana: hang on, craig. i saw him kiss gizmo. did you? >> reporter: i did not kiss gizmo. but, no, do you know what, hey, nothing to say. [ laughing ] >> dana: you did have something to say after you thought about it. >> reporter: i self sensored. >> dana: there you go. good for you. live from the airport. thank you. now we go from mccarren airport live to rio. chloe beardsley is standing by this morning once again. one of the most iconic images is the redeem er statue that sits above the city. and you had a chance to make it

>> reporter: yes. the other day actually over the weekend is when i went to go check it out. but depending on what list you look at, it's one of the 7th wonders of the world. and, let me tell you, the it's a wonder to see. we got there and it was overcast. just in time the clouds still were out of there. the clouds started to clear up. we were able to see the iconic statue. beautiful. i can't come up with enough words to describe how amazing it was to be up there and see it in person. you've heard about it, read ab it. but experiencing it in real life is just a completely different feeling. it really was an amazing sight to see. the only problem was it took us about five hours just to get up there because of all of the lines. but obviously in the middle of the olympics, you have to anticipate a wait time because you can see the christ the relieve statue. it is a wonderful site to see and i'm glad i was able to share

janeiro, i'm chloe beardsley. >> kim: thank you very much. we'll see you tomorrow on the program. now we focus on politics. both candidate turning their focus on battle ground states today. this is after vice president joe biden and hillary clinton had some harsh words for donald trump just yesterday. >> if my son were still in iraq, and i said all those who were there, the threat to their life has gone up a couple clicks. >> sometimes he says tell anyone what he'll do because he wants to keep his plan "secret". and then it turns out the secret is he has no plan. [ laughing ] >> kim: speaking of plans, let's talk it out live right now with nbc tracey pots. i heard a new phrase from donald trump yesterday. he talked about extreme vetting. what does that mean, tracey? >> reporter: well, what trump says it means, kim, is that when

country from another country, first of all we need to limit the flow. if he's elected, he'll sit down and get a list of countries where terrorism has been a problem and stop any immigration from those countries at all. anyone. so we can limit the flow of people here and deal with a more manageable number. part two then would be those who are allowed in or who want access through customs into this country would be asked a series of questions to try to determine what their beliefs are the u.s. in other words, trying to weed out people who believe in law or other things that he says they're not compatible with beliefs here in the united states. now, the question about that, kim, is how practical is it? we've got millions of people immigrating into this country. even if you narrow that down, could you practically sit down and question everyone who comes into this country about their belief to the degree that you

and so the practical nature of how he's going to do this remains a question after yesterday after he talked about it. >> anchor: yes. especially if you ask somebody do you believe in law. no. it's when you're self sensoring or kind of doing it on the honor system when we're dealing with potential terrorists. i don't think that passes with a lot of security analysts. tracey, before i let you go, it was last week we were together talking about donald trump and he was saying that he is that is a motto that we know about. but he was saying that president obama was the founder of isis. but it seems like he's revised that statement a bit after initially doubling down. >> reporter: well, he's got a lot of slack from democrats. did you hear what joe biden said yesterday when they were in scranton.

the middle east. we didn't hear about that talking about national security. >> kim: very good point. thank you for pointing it out to all of us. his running mate mike pence will be in henderson right here in town tomorrow. i'm sure we will talk about it after. tracey, thank you, have a good day. we'll see you tomorrow. 6:51. happening tomorrow, former nfl player erin hernandez will appear in court today. the judge hoping to set a hernandez accused of a double murder four years ago. he has pleaded not guilty. however, he is already serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the murder of his friend oden lloyd three years ago. speak of dramatic video out of florida. we have some over my shoulder right now. a man robbing and assaulting a 72-year-old woman. as you can see, this whole thing is caught on camera. the surveillance video showing

know beach wendy's restaurant the other day. this woman, margaret gee, visiting from new york when this happened, by the way. she says the man waited for her outside of the restaurant, called to her as she was leaving. she says he then grabbed her by the neck and when her gold necklace would not come off, he threw her to the ground and finally able to get the chain off of her neck. she is expected to make a full 6:52. gabbie douglas, madison kochen we know they won the gold medal earlier. now ali will compete tonight for her chance to win an individual gold medal. she says it really doesn't matter if they win or not. >> there's nothing as amazing and special as being able to win
