convictions for sexually assaulting an intoxicated and unconscious female. the victim's letter of outrage to turner going viral, viewed nearly 18 million times. in it, she said, you cannot give me back the life i had before that night. vice president joe biden also weighing in with an emotional letter to the young woman, writing, "a lot of people failed you. i believe you. it's not your fault." all of this igniting a firestorm against santa clarita superior court judge, aaron persky, who presided over the case. nearly 1.8 million people signed a petition for him to be removed from the bench. last week, persky voluntarily stepped down from criminal court and now will only preside over civil court trials. california state legislators also made some changes recently passing a bill to the governor, closing a loophole that loud for such short sentences. under the new law, if brock turner's case was tried today, he would serve a minimum three years behind bars. turner has been banned from ever setting foot on campus again,

but has left an indelible mark on stanford university. >> this entire case just shows that if you commit sexual assault to an unconscious woman on the stanford campus, in california, that you spend a summer internship in jail. >> that was goddy schwartz reporting. turner will be required to register on the sex offender's list for life. and we will have three years' probation which means performing drug tests and can't be in possession or consume alcohol. the first commercial flight from the u.s. to cuba should be landing any minute now. the flight took off from ft. lauderdale this morning. the last time there was a regular air service to cuba was before the cold war started. this jetblue flight opens a new era of air travel. some 300 flights a week will connect the u.s. with cuba. and people on hawaii's big island are getting ready for what could be the first hurricane to make landfall in hawaii in years. hurricane madeleine could arrive

depression in the gulf of mexico. that could be leading to some surf problems, as we go into the weekend. this is that new system, and it's small, and a lot of thunderstorms with it. and it's obviously tracking to the northeast. so that's not going to be a direct affect. it's just going to churn up the waves some more. this one does look like it's about to become a tropical storm. you can see tremendous amounts of thunderstorms there, but we're still trying to find the organized center and a hurricane hunter plane will go out there, probably by the end of the day. this will be a tropical storm. and part of the problem with this, multiple problems, the first one is, that it's going to strengthen and head right toward the florida panhandle. hurricane watch in effect. then it goes back into the atlantic, right near the north carolina coast, according to many of the computer models, pretty much agreeing on this. and that's friday.

that'll churn up the water some more. and then, as we go into the labor day weekend, the computer models start to diverge. some of them taking it right out to sea, and others do get it a little bit closer to the coast. of course, the closer it is, the more problems there are going to be. so today, we've got moderate rip currents at the shore. that is going to diminish the next two days. we've got lower currents thursday and friday. but because of that next storm coming up, we may have dangerous rip currents, even more dangerous than today for saturday, sunday, and monday. temperatures in the 80s now, even at the shore. very light sea breeze, ocean temperature, 77 degrees. and the temperatures, look at this, after today's 92, nice and comfortable as we head through the weekend, but next week, it's really going to start to heat up. we do expect some showers to be

developing. this is more likely this evening and overnight some of these could be thunderstorms moving through, and by the bulk of the morning rush tomorrow, it will already be gone and the less-humid air will be coming in. so we really have some nice, comfortable weather, if we could just get away from the problems at the beaches. look at these forecasts here for all of the area of the jersey shore. a beautiful weekend, the way it looks. but we'll have to keep an eye on the tropics. >> all right. thank you, glenn. concerns about the zika virus are prompting disney east florida theme parks to take action. find out the steps they're taking to protect their guests from the virus. we'll have that, coming up. and another benefit of breast milk. a study finds one more way to protect the health of newborns.

weeks, it would offer a generic version of its epipen at $150 a piece. but buying in canada, still about 50 bucks cheaper than that. so why so much less expensive in canada? medication prices are regulated here, and canadian pharmacist, sam bashta, says that strikes him as fairer. >> i'm always concerned about the price of the medication. because it's not fair for people to -- for wealthy people to stay healthy and happy and people who cannot afford the medication should die. >> reporter: on our return drive, we had no problem getting back into the u.s. with our purchase. >> u.s. >> where's home? >> buffalo. >> what were you doing in canada? >> buying one of these for my son, epipen. >> what's it cost in canada? >> 100. >> a lot of that, huh? >> i think you'll see more. >> terrific. thank you. >> to ensure you that we're not pulling a fast one, there's this statement from u.s. customs and border patrol.

exclusive eagles nest camera. the eagles will take the field there tomorrow night, as they wrap up the 2016 preseason. nbc 10, of course, is your official eagles station and as we look forward to the start of another eagles season, fans can take a look back at the team's storied past with the help of a new book. the book is called, the big 50. philadelphia eagles, the men and the moments that made the eagles -- that made the philadelphia eagles. the author is longtime eagles beat writer, mark eckel, that good friend of mine. covered me for a long time. >> yeah, we worked a little bit. first of all, you and csn's ruben frank collaborated on another book. we were just talking about it. the top 50 place -- the same publisher. so, what's the twist on this book? >> well, the last one was the greatest plays in eagles history, which you had one. >> yeah, i made the top 50 of your last book. i think i was number 30. >> okay. in fact, i don't think i know.

>> well, this is just 50 stories. some plays are in there. they gave me the freedom to write whatever i wanted. 50 chapters. some are individuals. reggie white has his own chapter. brian dawkins, steve van buren, going back to the '48/'49 teams. >> i want to talk about the first thing you start out, with fans and booing i. it was the booing of donovan mcnabb and how that shaped the psychology of the player specifically when he was here. >> and i'm really happy with the way the book came out and i'm haep because i got really good interviews from a lot of guys that opened up and donovan was one, talking about how that day kind of scarred him -- >> the day he was drafted? >> yeah, when he was drafted and got booed, but it kind of scarred him a little bit to the end. and he never felt appreciated here in philadelphia. and he thinks everything he did and the playoff wins and not winning the super bowl, obviously, but donovan's chapter

is very interesting. he said some very interesting things to me. >> well, if you've been around the eagles as long as you and i have, there's chapters in here, because it included some of the guys i've played, jerome brown was an interesting, fascinating a look at him, reggie white and some others. was there anything here, having covered the eagles as long as you have, that surprised you? >> a couple of things. some of the things i didn't know about. i got a great story about steve van buren. i don't want to give too much away, but steve van buren retires and he's supposed to have a fight with joe lewis, the boxing champ. >> wow! >> he's going to fight and they're going to pay steve like $20,000 to do this fight. steve only made like $15,000 when he played. so, that's a pretty good payday for him, right? well, steve drives up to hershey, that's where joe's sparring and training. he sees him working out and he yells to him, joe, let's talk about this fight. so they meet, they talk about the fight, and steve said to joe, joe, when i get in the ring with you, you're not going to hurt me, right?

joe looks at him and says, steve, i don't know, we're going to be in a ring. i might hurt you. >> any other top 50 books in the works? because i've got some ideas. >> okay, we'll talk. >> top 50 players that blew out their knees at the vet. top 50 fights happen in the stands. >> there you go. >> you and i better collaborate on some of this stuff here. >> we'll talk later. >> listen, i haven't read the whole thing, but i've glanced through it and it is a fascinated read, for eagles fans especially right now. >> and it's available everywhere right now. >> by the way, the eagles are back on nbc 10. thank you very much, mark, appreciate you dropping by. you can watch the birds final pre-season game at 7:00, play the jets at the linc. join us after the game for exclusive interviews and coverage you won't see anywhere else. >> announcer: now your nbc 10 first alert weather. >> well, the hottest august ever recorded in philadelphia, about to come to an end. another day getting into the

90s. already, 88 degrees in glasgow. 89 degrees at marshalton. 81 at middletown. and as we head farther to the south, you can see temperatures in the 70s at the beaches, a little bit of an easterly flow. and it's that wind that's going to help pile up the surf and make for some dangerous conditions in the water. we're also tracking some of these showers and thunderstorms in northwestern pennsylvania, and see if some of those affect us tonight. we're 93 monday. 90 yesterday, near 90 today. 85 tomorrow. so, that's going to be the end of at least this heat wave. we're dry right now across the area. and as we go through the afternoon, we're dry. afternoon rush, we're dry. early evening, we're dry. but then, some showers and storms start coming in. this is later tonight, 10:00, toward midnight, and a little

after. but as this moves through, there is, 4:00 a.m., the very earliest part of the morning rush could be affected by that. and the rest of the rush looks like it's not, because it's all going to be moving out. and that's going to lead us to the more comfortable weather. tropics, very active. strong hurricane way out to sea. small tropical depression and big tropic depression about to become a tropicical storm. this is the one we're going to have to watch probably become hermine later on today. it's definitely headed towards florida. this one headed out to sea. but all of them are churning up the water. and this will be churning up the water in our part of the world over the holiday weekend. here's the latest computer model track, taking it right into florida, no doubt about it. taking it up, close to the north carolina coast. no doubt about that, either.

but after that, some of the models take it straight out. others come a little bit closer, to the east coast. of course, the closer it comes, the stronger it is, the more impact we're going to have at the coast. if it comes close enough, we get clouds out of it. maybe even some rain. but right now, we're going for the drier air at the shore, but, again, rough, rough, dangerous surf saturday and sunday. temperatures only in the 70s. and in the 80s in the philadelphia area. and as we go through the next ten days, look at those comfortable temperatures. look at those lows at night. even monday and tuesday, we're talking about temperatures in the 80s. but there come the 90s. wednesday, thursday, friday, maybe near record levels. so we're not done with summer heat, yet. we'll be right back.

well, the wells fargo center in south philadelphia turns 20 today. do you believe that, glenn? here's a live look at the arena in south philly. it opened in 1976. it's the home to the flyers and the sixers. and coming up this afternoon, starting at 3:00, it's ellen with canway we wawaw.

today, taking one headache out of traveling. at 4:00, the new plan to keep your bags from getting lost at the airport. always a headache there. all right. checking in with glenn now, who just reminded me to check my electricity bill. i don't think look forward to that. with this heat wave. >> and it's huge. you don't get the hottest august ever recorded without getting a correspondingly high electric bill. if you haven't gotten yours yet, get ready for it. and this particular heat wave ends today with temperatures at or slightly above 90. we're nowhere near that until the middle of next week, when we might start another heat wave. in the meantime, the only real chance for showers and storms late tonight into early thursday morning, if you don't get that, then we're not going to get anything next week, unless, unless that tropical depression in the gulf of mexico

strengthens and then eventually comes close enough to bring some rain early next week. >> weekend looks great, though. thanks for watching.
