>> i'm laura harris and today on the now tampa bay, mosaic says they are sorry for leaking radioactive water. >> i apologize for not providing the information earlier. >> is it too little too late. how neighbors are taking into their own hands. it's the information that you're sharingwith everne you didn't know you were doing it because urining to vote. what you need to do right now to protect yourself. and a look into tampa's future. the changes so big in channel side, it will be good for people who don't even live in the area. it's0, time for the now tampa bay. we're going to start the show with breaking news out of northern california. an air force spy plane crashes

left from above. the right is video of the plane smoking on the ground there. twboard. they got out of the plane before it crashed. we are waiting to hear how they are doing and what caused the crash. this plane flies at altitudes and is used for surveillance. all right. breaking situation. we will monitor it closely. i'm paul lagrone in for ashley glass on the the mosaic question just got bigger. now hillsborough county leaders are getting involved and plan to address the sink hole that is leaking the radioactive water ground. >> apologies from the company for not telling people sooner. ryan raiche asking the questions that many have been asking us, why did it take so long. he joins outside of the plant in mulberry. ryan, did they actually have answers today. >> reporter: i think they are realizing that waiting and

idea. not only is neighbors, the peop to the north and southof a plant that has so major trust issue with this corporation, with mosaic. put yourself in their shoes. how are they supposed to trust a company that wasn't exactly up front to begin with. today mosaic tried to correct that problem. two executives started an apology tour today. they tol screwed up and in hindsight this woe have notified the public immediately. now they are offering free water tests to neighbors and providing bottled water. here is the senior vice president of phosphates on the issues of trust. >> why should people believe you guys if you kept it a secret for two to three weeks? >> look, i think that kind of comes back to the question of explaining why we didn't do a notification.

build credibility with what i'm focus on. >> you can understand why people have trust issues. >> i totally understand that. >> reporter: so we have heard a mixed bag of reactions today from people who live near the mosaic property. they have been concerned of millions of gallons of radioactive water pouring into the aquifer. some accept the apology. others do not. bottom line, they want their water st so the only thing we can do is go from there and hope for the best. >> reporter: all right. that man, james branch, he lives a couple miles where we're standing, north of the plant. there is another community, more neighbors on the south side of the plant. he's a handful of people who are not offering the accept from mosaic, to test the water for free. instead he's going to pay for it himself.

right, but this way he knows for sure the results are accurate. live in mulberry, ryan raiche, the now tampa bay. >> thank you, ryan. just in here, new details emerging today about a sergeant and a deputy in hernando county on paid leave after shooting a man to death. now we're hearing that they actually tried using a bean bag shotgun at first, a nonlethal weapon. we brought this story to you last week on thursday on the now tampa bay. at the time we didn't know what insi now we do. we're told that the sergeant shot her bean bag shotgun at joseph two times, trying to take him into custody. but that didn't work. that's when the man pointed his gun at them. so they fired their real guns. the man died at the hospital. the sheriff's office today says that they were there in the first place because a health care professional told them someone in the home may be suicidal and had a bunch of weapons. all right. take a look at what channel side could look like in the

new drawings from the real estate firm that owns the land. on the right, the channel side plaza as we know it right now, which would be torn down. in its place, a park, a space for offices and shops and condos. negotiations are just starting. a final vote will be later this year or early next year. if all goes as planned, the first phase that looks like this right here, the pa pitchon where and a beer garden could open as soon as 2018. a surprise in tampa today. look at that. some rain showers. shay and denis say i didn't pay attention to the forecast because i would have known because you told us yesterday that it was going to happen. >> exactly. you're not allowed to say it was a surprise. we told you that would happen. take a look what the is going on right now. south tampa is what you're looking at right here. you see puffy clouds but no rain at the moment.

and clear and dry across pin class hillsborough county. into lakeland, a few showers across i-4. also to the north in hernando county, in which prosecutor brook -- from brooksville, we're seeing more widespread thunderstorms and heavier downpours. when you look at the big picture across tampa bay, we really don't have much rain. the rain pressed inland before noon today. i know that's not common for our summertime pat starts to the day. but the showers and storms are tapering off a little earlier in the afternoon than what we typically see as well. so if your kids have after- school activities outside, the storms are mainly to the north of tampa, around citrus county and to the east. and these will be tapering off over the next couple of hours. by 8:00, isolated shower or storm well inland is all we're looking at at that point. warm and muggy.

as we get after sunset, the temperatures will fall into the nt cnging up the plan a little bit as far as the timing of the rain and the coverage of the rain? well, yeah. i'll show you about that front coming up in my next forecast. paul. >> she keeps a firearm in this safe for protection. but hillary clinton could take away her right to self-defense. >> look at this just out today a brand-new ad going after hillary clintoby the $5million worth of theand other grotes for donald trump. you will probably see a of s si away, believe it or no weeks ft r vote here in florida. >> by registering to te, you're putting your personal information out there for everyone to see. the now's nicole grigg shows you how you can opt out.

family's life. >> all right. the funeral homeowner says what happened is unacceptable. a woman tripped and fell on her face inside her own house and now her insurance company will not cover her medical bills. and it's more than $50,000. >> the now's rob lowe tells us the insurance companies reason that may have you checking your own policy. >> reporter: karen suffered no mine owe injury. her cheek bone required surgically have topped $54,000. >> they called it an orbital fracture. hi to have surgery to keep my left eye in place. >> reporter: her insurance company says not a penny is covered. >> insurance companies take and take. as soon as you have a claim, scourers can't help you. >> reporter: the accident happened in late march, after her grandkids left a sled on the front porch. >> i tripped over this and fell face first on the concrete. i didn't have time to catch

to the hospital by ambulance, where doctors h vitals and discovered her whole left was .12, nearly double the legal alcohol limit. >> do you think that alcohol made you not. i would not have fallen if the sled was not there. >> reporter: but her insurance company has a clause that reads injuries sustained that is due wholly or partially to the effects of intoxication or drugs is excluded under this policy. >> do you remember what your reaction that? >> i wanted to throw. i couldn't believe it. i knew we were in the 50,000s. >> reporter: she feels that insurance is supposed accidents. >> i was in my own home. i wasn't out driving. since when can't you have a couple of glasses of wine in your own home. >> we should point out that the agency that regulates the

says there is never an excuse. we're showing you the jobs that don't require a college degree. we will start with the highest paying of them all. transportation storage and distribution managers. this could be for a company delivering goods. they make $86,000 a year and don't require any specific training. elevator installers and repairers making about $80,000 a year. while she don't have a college degree, they usually complete an apprenticeship. and casino gaming managers. you make about $68,000 a year. and they're the people who make sure that everything runs smoothly on the casino floor. when i say casino, we have one in our area. so we checked the local hard rock casino. they have plenty of them right here. we don't see any manager positions right now. but there are a lot of openings. gaming maners are typically

kohl's has 69,000 positions open for the holidays. plenty of them in the tampa bay area. just go to the website. you have to hurry though. hiring will be done by the middle of november. i've already tweeted out the link that you need iyore interested. find me on twitter right now@lauraharris. paul. >> you want to check your phone, as in the iphone 7. it may be hissing at you. that's right. problems with the iphone 7 and iphone 7 plus. apple fielding several complaints. they say it is producing a strange sound. people are posting videos of their iphone in distress on twitter. so far apple has not explained what exactly it is or what is causing it. let's just hope that the battery is good. that's a samsung joke, by the way, laura. >> all right. what we want to do right now is check in with meteorologist shay ryan. shay, i'm listening now, is it raining outside? >> not on top of our building.

dinner and you're around heinz avenue, you are nice and dry at the moment. south tampa as we're looking across one of the bays there, you can see that we are nice and dry. things are looking good with a mix of sun and clouds across the area. we have hit and miss rain around citrus and hernando counties and polk county. not a ton of rain though. you may find a heavy downpours or a thunderstorm over the next couple of hours. the flow has been going from #o northwest to the all of this is pushing to the south of us. but there is more rain off to the north because we have a stalled out front. now, this is not a front that will push through the state and give us a nice refreshing batch of cooler or drier air. we're not getting that this time around. what it will do is linger here, increasing the rain chances a little farther to the north. but really in our area, we're not going to see very high rain chances over the next couple of days. similar to what we have seen today.

making it to highs right around 89 degrees. the record set back in 1991, 94. so with this lack of rain through the afternoon -- or at least less rain, our temperatures will remain right near if not a little bit above average. so 90 degrees tomorrow is the high. a mix of sun and clouds. and mainly afternoon showers and storms. it's not to say that we wouldn't see anything before noon. but we are looking at more of an afternoon storm trend for tomorrow. i'll show you more on that coming up in and my next update, it's going to be an karl and lisa. yeah. did you know we have another tropical storm out there in the atlantic? i will show you where they're both heading coming up. the common mistake you could be making at the gas station right now that could be costing you a lot of money.

it doesn't put out less pollution and doesn't clean your engine any better than regular gasoline. premium typically costs 50 cents more than regular gasoline per gallon. you add up that and you're talking $200 a year. >> and 16 and a half million people spent $2 billion that they didn't need to this past year paying for it. 70% of drivers have cars that only need regular gas. it doesn't get much weirder than this. >> i want you to check out the granddaughtegoing viral. i know you the see the baby right there. you can buy this bear from costco. this thing is nearly 8 feet tall. the price as big as the bear. $289. >> i want one to be honest with you. >> wow. >> and just see he's the person

where did that go. it always seems to happen with these types of incidents. as new information comes out after the fact that shows that the suspect in question may have shown signs of trouble early on. that seems to have happened here. even his own family was worried about him. more questions being raised about the suspected new york and new jersey bomber as he is formally charged with attempted murder for his shootout are police and the investigation into his past >> just because you make an arrest, that's not where the investigation stops. a lot of time that's where it starts. >> reporter: his own father reported him to the fbi back in 2014, suspecting then he was a terrorist. now speaking with msnbc, he was less than forth coming. >> did you know that your son was doing this? >> no. >> you had no idea. >> no. >> and when you hear now that he's been accused of this, do you believe it? do you believe it?

on. >> reporter: the family is known in the community for their fried chicken restaurant in elizabeth, new jersey. they live in the apartment above it. his father left this morning. police still have it blocked over but not combing through it as intensely today. there are reports that his wife left the city just days before the bombing. he helped his wife obtain his visa in 2014, which is a common practice for him there. were no red flags raised at the time. >> it's like a regular here. this is a district made up of immigrants. >> reporter: so you're looking live once again at the family- owned restaurant and the apartment above it. investigators went in to do one more sweep through there. also inside and ahmad khan rahami's father. he says that the fbi checked out his claims back in 2014, that he thought his son was a terrorist and indications then, the fbi could not find any.

"usa today" is reporting that the mother of the drug company's ceo used her position on a national school board association to get states to force districts to actually buy it's used for emergency allergic reactions. epipen is under scrutiny because the price jumped 400% to $600 for a two-pack. the ceo will testify about the issue in front of a house investigative panel. the head of wells far go is apologizing after the company created 2 million fake customer accounts. he is promising to make it right. he testified befe the senate

does. i don't feel like i can eat more just because i walked 10,000 steps today. >> yeah. you're smart, laura harris. you're smart. >> our producer said you know more, laura. >> you do. you're really great about fitness. if of any questions, go to laura harris. clearwater hyatt, take a look at that. blue skies and sunshine. and really a gorgeous day at the beach. at least in the second half of the da showers were setting up earlier today. right along the coast. take a look now across pinellas and also into hillsborough county. we do have some rain just around the st. pete area, south of st. pete, downtown st. pete. i'm just stuttering all over the place here. let's take a look at a wider picture on the radar. you can see very hit or miss showers and heavy downpours. very few storms just in southeastern polk county at the

projecting the highest chance for rain are in the northern counties. we have seen that happen. take a look how it tapers off and moves off to the east coast of florida over the next couple of hours. we will see isolated showers and maybe an isolated storm over the next few hours. not a ton after sunset. by midnight, we're nice and dry. tomorrow morning is the question, will you see rain before noon? take a look at 8:00. the futurecast is showing we wo by noon we're still looking pretty dry. that we will be dry all the way through to noon. but i think the chances are a bit lower tomorrow than what we saw today. we will still have a similar flow of the north to south or northwest to southeast flow as the showers and storms start bubbling up throughout the afternoon. you can see how isolated they are. not a ton of coverage for tomorrow afternoon. temperatures right now have

move out. we have more sunshine. we're up to 91 in tampa. 91 in brandon. 79 in zephyrhills and brooksville where more rain has moved through that is keeping temperatures a bit more comfortable. all right. over the next several days, our highs will be close to average. maybe a little above in the places that see less rain throughout the day. but, again, with 30% coverage, we're really not looking at a ton of rain over the next several days. by saturday, the rain chances go up. it's on around 40% coverage, mainly in the afternoon. wondering what is going on the rest of the weekend? well, denis phillips has that sunday forecast for you on action news at 5:00 in the 7- day forecast. paul. >> thank you, shay. it is the tweet that is creating a social media backlash today. donald trump junior comparing the refugee crisis to a bowl of skittles. let's end the politically correct agenda that does not put america first. asking if i had a bowl of

skittles responded, skittles are candy. refugees are people. it's an inappropriate analogy. the "washington post" says the odds of being killed by a refugee in a terrorist attack is 1 in 3.6 billion which means the bowl of skittles would need to be as big as one navajo olympic size swimming pools. the criticism is swift on this one. >> yeah. any time that you have anything on the wildfire. things are getting ugly quickly. this is a picture tweeted out earlier today. trump's adult children there, all three of them there, the caption reading three very dangerous skittles. people referencing the moving video of a 5-year-old syrian boy covered in dust and blood pulled from what was left of his apartment building after an airstrike, saying they aren't skittles, they are children. i want to show you this other

another perspective. some people thought it was a point well made. the analogy might not be all that orange county either. former congressman joel walsh tweeting out that's the point that he made last month, showing the exact tweet that he sent out back in august. the exact same thing. that wasn't the end of the rough day for trump. paul with more on that. >> now that we learn that another 858 immigrants from dangerous countries have slipped into been granted citizenship despite the fact that they were supposed to be deported. welcome to america. >> that's right. donald trump not letting up today on the huge mistake allowing hundreds of people to become american citizens by accident. trump is campaigning in north carolina where he and hillary clinton are in a dead heat in that state. this is a live look at a stage at a second city in north carolina where donald trump

that trump is leading clinton by one point among likely voters. 44 to 43%. that is well within the margin of error. and meanwhile, hillary clinton is getting a pretty bi today frormer nds out who. >> reporter: kathleen kennedy postedhis photo of her shaking the president says that he is voting for hillary. the same 92-year-old republican who lost the white house to clinton in 192 had one son take it back for republicans in 2000 and another son run for the republican nomination this year. that may explain why the bush family isn't confirming the post. the elder bush's reported preference makes sense. he and bill clinton became

while working on disaster relief. back in may he and his son said they wouldn be sh if the facebook post is true, shmathis quite simple. friendship with the clintons. for the now i'm mike sax. blah. now to breaking news in the fight to get federal funding to fight "usa today" reporting that senate leaders are postponing a vote again today. they were not only voting on leslation to prevent the irus october 1s om shutting down this is actually the third time that en delayed. s fu of self-drivi cs is getting the u. transportation is giving them the grn light. here is how. it's out with new guidelines
