"today in the bay's" roz slater has been going through that report with the reason you might want tok that cell phone in the glove box or maybe even in the back seat, roz. >> reporter: indeed that is what they say you should do. i think the takeaway is more of us are on these phones talking or texting, and we're more distracted than ever. in fact, they're saying the risks may be greater than that from aggressive driving and from drunk driving, if you can believe that. take a look at the video of a guy so distracted that he narrowly miss as pickup truck and has to plow onto the median or this bus driver so busy on his phone he never notices the traffic in front of him stopped. that's what the study found. we know what we shouldn't be doing but we do it anyway. >> you can look from your car in the rear-view mirror and see them looking down. they're probably texting, eating, only god knows. >> there's always an urge to reach down and check your device. >> reporter: now that new aaa study shows that 83% of us agree texting while driving should be banned but that 45% of us admits we're do

nbc bay area's roz plater is love with that part of the story. >> reporter: janelle, the rain has been off and on, off right now but it was here a few minutes ago. just in time for the rush hour. and it's a good reason for drivers to remember to slow down because the roads are going to be slippery. it's hard to tell from looking at this mangled cruiser, but the officer had only minor injuries. so did the driver of the prius and the police dog got out okay as well. the crash happened about 9:30 a.m. on westbound highway 4 in martinez. chp investigators say a pittsburg police cruiser and a car collided, both landed just over the embankment. the accident is being investigated but the weather was likely a factor. around the bay area, rain started pouring very early this morning, making for a nightmarish morning rush hour. this was the scene as drivers slowly made their way across the golden state bridge and south down 101. but here's why we need the rain. this time last year, the water district was releasing water from many of the reservoirs. but that's not the story now. we're nearing our

stephen roz releasing this statement yesterday, saying in part, quote, i have no intention of forcingo stand during the national anthem. i regret that my comments have been misconstrued. i have shared my opinion with all of my players. i'm passionate about the cause of social justice and feel that kneeling is an ineffective tactic that alienates for people than it en enlists. joining me now, host of dc's fox five. brit, let pe start with you. it feels like these teams are testing the waters, if you will, putting these statements out ore allowing them to get out there to see what the public pushback will be. >> absolutely. steven ross needs to get a backbone. he was not misquoted or misconstrued. i worked covering the nfl for four years. the ratings speak for themselves. nbc sunday night football averaged its lower viewership since 2008 for the thursday night package, lowest since it began in 2014. it's a business. they're business owners. so act like it. they want players to stand for the flag. and i would have given him props but now he's backtracking and other owner need to get more

would have been sent back and forth as we described in tonight's story that i did with my colleague rozderman at the post. these were e-mails that george papadopoulos wrote to the campaign. they would have been received by the campaign server or the trump org server, and our understanding is that those e-mails have been turned over to investigators, including the special counsel. >> let's skip to our lawyer on this panel. because you told one of our producers this could speak to collusion or obstruction in your view. why? >> sure. so brian, if you reach out to the russians to try to help them elect an american president, that's unpatriotic. it's un-american. but it's not a crime. but we know that george papadopoulos has already pled guilty to lying about his contacts with the russians. so the question is who directed him to lie? why is he lying? and what else do we know? we know that president trump tweeted out a lie about papadopoulos's role. he was hardly a coffee boy. he was not a nobody. he was meeting with high-level people like steve bannon and mike flynn. and so this is yet anoth

well, let me close by saying as mentioned above, theodore roz develop famously broke the white house color barrier in 1901 when he had booker t. washington to dinner at the executive mansion. a purely social event. no african-american was invited to dine at the lincoln white house, but in the late summer of 1864, lincoln did invite frederick douglass to tea at the soldiers home where the first family resided during the warmer months. in his autobiography, douglass explained he declined because he had a speaking engagement that conflicted. now, the historian james oakes plausibly observed there is every reason to believe that lincoln invited douglass to the soldiers home because he enjoyed dougla douglass' company as much as he enjoyed his opinion. all the evidence adduced here helps explain why douglass called lincoln emphatically the black man's president, the first to show any respect for their rights as men and the first american president who rose above the prejudice of his times and his country. thank you for your attention. [ applause ] yes, sir. >> in the lincoln-douglass deba

it frames it nicely -- there was a view in the schulz state department, roz ridgeway, he decided europe was fine. the bush administration really did feel, and i can give you an example of this in february 1980 -- 1989, we were thinking about german reunification at the start. you could see the forces breaking into it. frankly, if you are concerned about the german question, how germany gets unified with a stable security order, you do have to pay attention to europe. remember, when that moment struck, germany did not have many friends in europe other than deore. >> to the audience, matt? >> great. i wonder if you could all speak a bit to the opportunities that were available in the late 1980's and early 1990's for cooperation and partnership. and i am thinking in, for moments of crisis or anything else -- but this is a time of immense change, and there were possibilities open that i don't think where imaginable before. and so i am wondering if you could talk a bit to these opportunities, seized, lost, or otherwise, and what that means for both the handling of the u.s.-soviet relationshi

why was somebody roz life was dedicated fighting communist would have interest in getting an anti-communist nation. the fact they stole it from us didn't worry him in the least. suspect in his in-most heart he would have given it to. the if they asked. haden, knew better than to investigate any further if never send anything to angleton on this, in the nuclear program, because i knew he wasn't interested. haden later told his son and i knew he'd try to stop it if i did. with the fissile material, israel crated its first nuclear weapon and became a full-blown nuclear paw by 1970. the first and still the only nuclear power in the middle east. angleton, iter is fair to say, thought collaboration with israel was more important than u.s. nonproliferation policy and believed the results proved his point. when he started his chief as the counter-toll generals staff in 1954 the state of israel and its leaders were regardly warily in washington, especially at the state department. when angleton left government service 20 years later, israel held twice as much territory as it had in 1948. the cia and

when i hear ukraine, i think roz dpz rozneft and that big deal that was going to help exxonmobil and got scratched because of the sanctions of 2014, and why would they want crimea other than to move that oil and gas that they were going to develop with the help of exxonmobil and rosneft. i see that giant deal that rex tillerson was at the helm of at the center of this. am i off base here? >> no. i said it's pragmatic for russia to seek out for somebody like trump who they already have leverage over, have business ties with, and use the u.s. government as a way to change policy, change policies like sanctions for their own financial benefit. that's a benefit that goes to pludicrats in the united states like tillerson. people are in an advantageous position if these sanctions are removed. the same for russia. there's an ideological tie that binds them, but money is the thing that binds them. >> and maybe you have russia out of frustration really flexing on donald trump, not getting much of a response. you have the missile test where russia releases a video showing the launch of a new i
