we're going to have a live interview with somebody who is associated with the democrats coming up to respond to what donald trump just had to say. good morning. it is thursday, august 25th, 4:30 in the morning. >> krystal: it's thursday so that means it's friday eve. >> dana: we're slidingo sliding into temperatures that are normal for this time of year as well. >> krystal: i'm liking what i'm seeing. we're going to kick it over to kelly and see what we can expect this morning. >> kelly: a little bit of haze this morning. we still have an air quality advisory. changes to the forecast heading into friday and saturday. today dry, mostly sunny skies. the haze is what we'll deal with and gusty winds in the

97 by noon and 101 at 4:00. normal for this time of year. we're going to talk about the changes for friday and saturday coming up. >> dana: the trial continues for one of the men accused of killing a local teenager over an ipad. police say his friend grabbed the teen's ipad and jumped into a vehicle but he wouldn't let go of the gift that his f gave him. state prosecutors called several witnesses to the stand wednesday. some of the most emotional testimony came from an on duty paramedic who was the first to treat the badly hurt teen. police say he was dragged under an s.u.v. with michael solid behind the wheel. >> i found him laying kind of

unconscious, unresponsive and blood coming from his mouth. he had tire tracks on the left side of his face. across his abdomen in the lower area and abrasions on both of his feet and ankles. >> dana: that's a paramedic who has seen a lot during her career getting emotional. marcus' father testifi the hospital. when he got there he was in a coma and died son after. solid's attorney said he's not the person responsible. the person responsible has already been sentenced.

he was last seen friday at a convenience store in bull head city, arizona. the night before he was at a casino with his family. he was on vacation visiting relatives when he just disappeared. red rock searching for this 80-year-old man. it's been an emotional week. following up on leads so far have been nothing but alarms. >> someone told us they had seen him down here but it was just a false tip. i can't explain it but we have to be strong because we are going to find him. >> such a difficult time for that family. they say he suffers from slight alzheimer's and may be confused. he's most likely wearing a straw hat and suspenders. take a good look at this man, if

stoppers. >> dana: the death toll after that devastating earthquake in italy stands at 247. search for victims and survivors continue this is morning with a live look out of italy. you can see the rubble on your screen. searchers are going through this trying to find survivors in all of that. drone video captured overnight shows all of that damage from above. three towns were hard hit including one where travelers had come for a festival. crews have been used bulldozers, hand tools and their hands to go through this debris. an amazing rescue captured on video yesterday. that 10-year-old girl was alive and doing well as she was pulled out of that rubble after 24 hours underneath all of that. the death toll is expected to rise.

the area for summer's final days. >> krystal: i hope they have more rescues in the days to come. another natural disaster. one of the tornadoes hitting kokomo. these were in indiana and ohio area. a man took a video of the twister on his cell phone. it leveled a coffee shop. there is nothing left. severe weather could chances of isolated severe storms today. >> dana: donald trump is turning the tables on hillary clinton. donald trump calling clinton a bigot. >> hillary clinton is a big olt

votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future. >> from someone who is very much peddling bigotry and prejudice. there is a lot of smoke and there is no fire. >> dana: hillary clinton is going to be in our fine state today up in reno this afternoon. let's take you live to washington, jim joins us live by satellite this morning. donald trump calling hillary clinton a bigot saying she is pandering to minority voters. what sayeth you my friend? >> clinton would have forced donald trump and his father to integrate the housing complexes

they were sued by the government and lost that suit because they wouldn't allow blacks in. when hillary was in her 20's she went down to alabama and protested and brought suit to require the alabama school system to allow black children to attend the same schools as white children. she has a life of trying to integrate and make this society more inclusive. donald trump's life shows quite the opposite. that's just stunning. >> dana: let's talk about another issue the clinton campaign has had to deal with and that is the ties of the clinton foundation to her when she was secretary of state. people that were giving money to the clinton foundation were given access to the secretary of state. i know the clinton campaign is saying nothing illegal happened here however the optics are not

>> well the optics are not good when you see it through the prism that the trump campaign presents and some folks in the media and that is understandable. but the reality is first of all the clinton global initiative does wonderful things for millions of people who are the most desperately poor meme in continents like africa that need the helpta the initiative provides. it does great work and the cl out ever it. most of those people would have gotten meetings anyway and none of them got anything out of the meetings. no policy was changed or action taken. this is much to do about nothing really that is unethical. granted people in the clinton global initiative knew people on hillary's staff and so on. but the meetings didn't amount

it is a wonderful foundation and i wish mr. trump would engage in something even a fraction as worthwhile as it is. >> dana: the rhetoric continues. thank you so much for your time this morning. we really appreciate it. >> krystal: the u.s. forest service has a theory about why they say something is killing trees and making those wildfires worse. >> dana: a dog in new york city doing his part. he wants to make nyc more friendly. we'll tell you how he's doing it coming up. >> krystal: a live look at the white house and speaking of hillary clinton, according to a

respondents who weighed in on this poll say being a woman will help hillary clinton become president. 29% argue it will hurt her.

>> dana: we focus our attention on this guy. this is a dog that goes around new york city giving hugs to everybody. isn't that nice? and that is the dog's owner.

>> krystal: that is so sweet. >> she's had her since she was a puppy. she was a gift as a puppy. >> krystal: i love it. we all need a big hug every now and then and what better to get it from than a four legged friend. when a woman had to put a fence around her yard it gave her her idea bringing lots of people to her yard. why she had to put the fence up in the first place. >> dana: cher does not like donald trump. jeanie most putting her special spin on this one just ahead. >> krystal: a live look out of italy. the devastation there reeking

that earthquake struck yesterday. they are still searching for survivors. in some cases digging through the rubble by hand. amy rack cuous rescue of an eight-year-old girl.

>> krystal: beetles could be a contributing factor in the wildfires including the blue cut fire. the forest service said 66 million trees have been killed in california since 2010. people who live near the forest say the bark beetle is to blame. the insect is attracted to dry conditions. they feed off pine and cedar

wildfires that keeps them going. >> dana: they had heavy rains there and you can see what it did to the hillside this. triggered wednesday after three consecutive typhoons. that is what they call a hurricane in that part of the world. not good. i know we have a tropical system approaching southern florida. those things have a mind of their own. hurricane season doesn't end here for another two or three

what is going on outside, we're going to send it over to kelly and get a look at what you should be preparing for as you head out the door off the work. >> kelly: we are looking at another air quality advisory again today. if have you lung ailments, take it easy today. stay inside as much as possible. even if you don't, probably a better day to work out indoors than outdoors as we have elevated levels of smoke in the airm california. this is from yesterday. you can see the haze. you can barely make out the sheep mountains. a few clouds in the area. similar conditions expected today. changes coming for tomorrow and saturday. green valley you are coming in at 84. we had shower thunderstorm activity yesterday in parts of utah and arizona.

today. lincoln county could see a little bit of thunderstorm action this afternoon. in las vegas dry. mostly sunny, hazy conditions, 101 is our high. winds gusting to 25 in the afternoon. that will help a little bit with this haze, help stir things up a little bit. tonight 80 for the low. check out the seven-day forecast. friday and saturday now looks like we could have aet thunderstorm activity across the region including in las vegas. look at the temperatures too. 98 friday, 96 on saturday. don't let this stop you from going outside and having fun or camping. just don't forget the rain gear. >> krystal: frontier airlines adding more flights out of mccarron. frontier will fly to nashville and tampa bringing the total

past few years. the new service starts septembe. southwest is the only other airline to serve tampa and nashville from here. >> dana: more people flying to our local airport these days with a live picture coming from the airport this morning. 4.1 million people came through the airport in one month there. that is a 2.6% increase numbers for the month of july since going back to 2007. that is good news. more people passed through this year than last. about 27 million people coming and going through the first seven months of the year. that is a 5.2% increase over last year. this is one of the busiest airports in the country. i think we're seventh in the nation.

lot of people think it's in chicago but it's atlanta. a woman put a lineman on her dog. city wants to protect a nearby tree there. next to the tree root sign she added one about it being a lion enclosure. look at that. are you kidding me? woman says the dogs complete with that fake lion has a lot of people talking. >> krystal: that is a big dog. love it. in south dakota the trooper's have made one commute to work a lot easier after seeing him walk

the sergeant told the story to his squad. they decided to get tanner a bike. now his commute better. mechanical issues with the bike, they reached out to a sporting goods company with repairs. instead of repairs they gave him a new bike. it takes a huge weight off his shoulders. he is the sole provider for his family. maybe your little one takes a bike to school or walk. we want to see them on their first day of school. we know a lot of private schools have already started. clark county kids headed back next week. time to get back to reality. parents, teachers, we know some of you maybe it's your first year in the classroom. students grab cameras. we want to see your back to school photos.

burst and you might see them on this program. >> dana: she's been saying not kind things about trump recently. people are falling on both sides of the issue. geneny most reports. >> forget sonny and clerks think hillary and cher. the 70-year-old singer h a hand to hillary and aiming big guns at donald trump. cher was dispatched to her gay fan base, fundraisers in miami, fire island and even look alikes in drag showed up. cher mocked trump's make america

in front of a mostly gay audience cher nitpicked the donald on how he says our lgbtq citizens. >> it's like he's taking an eye test. >> cher saying hillaryra the greatest speaker in the world. she should spend more time focusing on her family and dying career. when she tweets about him she uses a toileting icon rather than his name. she never runs out of things to call him. >> breaking news happened and he had to go to the podium we would just all go [beep] .

date. time to dump her in the trash. cher's response had i known i'd get such vicious hate for supporting hillary, i would have done it anyway. bang bang, these two like to shoot each other down. >> cher is a loser. she's lonely and unhappy. >> krystal: i don't think cher has ever had a problem expressing herself. about throwing a first pitch at a major league baseball game. how about a medal winning olympian? katie ladecky. we'll see how she got it done

>> dana: katie ladecky is throwing out the first pitch at the nationals game last is that not amazing. i saw this before the game. that is bryce harper who grew up here in las vegas. she had all the medals around her neck and he held out his right arm and she was draping the medals on his arm so he would hold them while she was throwing out the first pitch at the game. >> krystal: that is so cool. >> dana: she's going to be a

of endorsements.

>> krystal: increedable story of survival. this happened in italy after that devastating earthquake. pulling an eight-year-old girl from the rubble hours after this deadly quake.

>> dana: they had a number of tornadoes yesterday and one of them destroyed astor bucks with people inside. >> kim: katie ladecky helping out the washington nationals. we'll tell you what las vegas native helped her with her medals so she could throw that first pitch >> dana: good morning. it is friday eve, most people call it thursday. august 25, 5:00. thanks for joining us. >> krystal: happy to be with you on this friday eve. we're going to slide on into the weekend. >> dana: we got you covered. >> krystal: i know part of your weekend plans include the weather. kelly curran is on top of that
