okay on the air and some combination thereof. very rare when the tumblers all click and with lester it does. he's so easy to work with. prepares but makes it look like he hasn't prepared yet on the air viewers trust him because they can tell he's done his homework and he knows what he's talking about. >> he's kind of gon it all at msnbc and nbc. he was anchoring the iraq war coverage for you. >> i have never worked with anybody who you can literally sit him down brief him for 30 seconds, and just leave him, and he can go for six hours, eight hours, and that looks easier said than done. >> for sure. >> especially when there aren't a lot of facts and you don't want to conjecture wildly but you want to be informed. lester could do that better than any other anchor i have ever worked with on the network level, on the local level, on radio, anywhere. >> the banner here says lester in limbo. you have stayed in touch with him over the years. you let him know you were going to be on the show today so he wouldn't be surprised. and this mu

he was very romantic and thought of as glamorous night of the air. he had been in hollywood movies one of which would not be released until after his death. there were no complications in this. it was easy to understand the people as they were presented. the storylines were simple and because of that they became -- it was the host of -- it was the hoax -- hopes and dreams of millions that became their own. at this time lindbergh was not ordained to win. he showed up a week before he was to fly. he was new and that made him news. he was young, it was a young age, the jazz age. the reporters went nuts about him. every flyer had been declared the front runner, a one time or another. the press had speculated, that every flyer, would be the one that would win. every flyer was accomplished, just as capable as the rival. nobody saw at the time that bloomberg was any better -- lindbergh was any better than any other flyer. if anything, lindbergh watched the others act and watched them start before him, then he took advantage of their crashes and fatal mistake

fighters north of the stronghold of raqqa city and backed by u.s. aires and say the kurds pushed i.s.i.l. back to the outskirts of raqqa and it's important because it links it to other i.s.i.l. out post in provinces of aleppo to the west and to the east and still ongoing in the i.s.i.l. held town about 50 kilometers north of raqqa city and we have this report. >> reporter: this kurdish fighter say they discovered a tunnel used by islamic state of iraq and la van on the turkish border and not clear if it's used to smuggling people or materials from turkey to syria. production units which go by wpg have been making gains on the border and taken back territory from i.s.i.l. and they took this post in the nearby town and now the fighting is over hundreds of families have returned and turkish authorities reopened the border for surrounding areas and despite kurdish fighters pushing back i.s.i.l. there are concerns over advances and main opposition group and fighters accused them of driving out kurdsman and working with people but were blocked from entering.

under the clean air act and the intersection 111 d, state air regulators have the legal responsibility of developing a plan and implementing the plan. we of course will be working with state utility regulators and state energy officials in pursuing the kinds of programs they both outlined and it may be that the state will have to take action with utility commissioners, concerns and energy officials concerns in mind as part of the plan but the ultimate responsibility lies with the state environmental agency and until we are told differently that is our responsibility. >> i don't disagree. clearly the lot is the law and air regulators are responsible for dealing with the environmental impact but that doesn't obviously the requirement that the state's improve what conditions improve with legally bound to do but they will be constructive dialogue on how that works so when you go forward you are not going to have the air regulators putting an element in a plan that the commission is not going to improve and vice versa and commissions will be constructive and try to give as much flexibility

that chemical may be a factor in the faulty air bags. officials said be patient, replacing 34 millionaire bags will take years. kelly o'donnell, nbc news, the capitol. >>> overseas tonight a tourist nightmare is unfolding in china. a cruise ship with hundreds of passengers aboard many of them retirees overturned and sank in bad weather. the captain is in custody and rescuers are frantically searching for anyone who might still be trapped. our report tonight from nbc's bill neeley. >> reporter: a rescuer hammers the hull of an upturned ship hoping for a response. suddenly hearing something, perhaps a sign of life inside. it was one of the few moments of hope amid china's worst shipping disaster in 70 years. 456 people on board, nearly all are missing. only a few survives. this 65-year-old woman was pulled up after divers found her in an air position et. among a dozen others say it was the captain whose state media says was pulled from the river two hours after his ship capsized. the ship was cruising the yangtze river when it was hit by hu

and so the jet stream which divides the cold air from the warm air, the warm air down here. that's a w and that's a c and has the jet stream gets warmer the jet stream reseeds further north. so that's the story. so here is the computer model checking here. we've got fog along the coast right now. we're going to see more fog as we go into the next couple of hours where it will start to fill into the areas. and we're going into a warming trend what we talked about. here are the current numbers and it's warmer out there in some places. warmer tomorrow and it's going to continue to warm right through the bay area. so 81 in fairfield right now. but tomorrow night this time fairfield will be probably 88, maybe 89 at this hour. and two or three nights from now upper 90s, mid90s as this hour. fire danger comes up. we already have the fire burning in south lake tahoe. the winds blowing if theirfield that's typical. last year this time of year having a good sized fire in fairfield. they've got a lot of funneling winds out there. even though it's moisture and cooler the humidity is high

standard set by congress in the clean air act. extent is been upheld by the supreme court, and for good reason. clean air has very real and specific impact on health and well being of all americans. this is underscored by our ranking member bobby rush from chicago where they no thing or two about air pollution, too. healthier children, parents and deployed translate into very real economic benefits. i would say to my colleague mr. shimkus comp committee case in the other direction, that good jobs with health benefits which he is arguing for or even better in the context of clean air. and even polluters a benefit from healthier employees taking fewer sick days. so my question is just asking you to elaborate on this back. what is the economic value? >> it's absolutely true and i think many agree that a clean and healthy of our but is very positive for the economy as well as for public health. we are illustrative analysis shows that pakistan of the 60 parts per billion they would be benefits in the range of 6.4-$13 billion to the econ

you can see as well the air bags fired up. the male driver was able to get out of the car. female passenger had to be cut from the seat belt. both survived this accident a lucky escape. similar story for the second video comes out out of thailand. camera at an intersection. you'll see a situation that could quite easily have gone very very wrong. keep an eye on this silver pickup truck right here on the right-hand side. it will be turning into the road there when suddenly -- >> no! >> looks to be almost a dozen schoolchildren this was actually the school bus. this happens a lot in thailand. people pile into the back of pickup trucks. this is the official school bus. as it's turning it whipped around sending all of these kids flying out the back of the truck, but watch as every single one of them hops up to their feet and just starts legging it towards their school. the reports come in none of the children were hurt in any serious way. the driver of the school bus did sustain a head injury but when you watch it, it's just incredible when you think these kids got away with it

we need to deal with equity at the air district we set aggressive goals for our investments, we invest about $80 million, a year, in technologies, to reduce emissions, our board set a tar get get for the reductions 50% need to be impacting communities, those are the worst hit by pollution, poverty, and other criteria here in the bay area. a couple of other things, work place charity, very important for smaller vehicles for what we call the light duty passenger vehicles they act as a show place for achieving our goals if i was to talk to the city from san francisco, for a second, awhat you all could do i think it's very important we havy koe friendly building and zoning laws adopting ordinances to require, electric vehicle stub outs in multifamily, and single family dwellings, buildings in major renovations as well don't lose that opportunity, that is something that is important to do, i think in terms of your own fleet, more electric vehicles in the city fleet would definitely send the message, they're visible, folks see them, they're something you should all be thinking about. lucky e
