And just this morning trump is trying to explain his repeated new attack on president obama and Hillary Clinton, he called them the founders of isis. Is he now walking that back a little bit . We will get into the political headlines just ahead, guys. Busy there has well. Lets bring in natalie and get a wrap up of all of the olympic action. It certainly with as a busy night and golden night for team u. S. A. Highlighted by one last duel in the pool that history gold for sim own manuel and the one, two finish in the womens gymnastics. Michael phelps has done it again. Olympic history in the pool, Michael Phelps grabbing his record 22nd gold medal in a clash of two olympic titans.

With her gold biles is the first woman ever to hold the olympic and world titles at the same time. We will talk to simone, aly and the rest of the final five in just a moment. First lets see how it all played out last night. A showdown between russia and the u. S. A. And all the top players are in this group. First on vault both biles and raisman tackled the same skill, a round off back handspring two and a half twists with a blind landing. Even with the step biles nabbed the top score with raisman in second place. Simone biles has done the job here. But the russians stepped up on the bars and biles fell behind. This hasnt happened very often in simone biles career. While raisman dropped to fourth place also behind russia. Just a bevy of problems. On beam the russians wavered, but biles stuck the landing, back on top with raisman in third. That was a big routine for aly raisman. Then team u. S. A. Took the floor. Raisman electrified. A return to the olympics has been worth it. No score needed for that routine. Biles defied graffiti with every leap and her signature move brought down the house. This has been her destiny all along. The night was theirs. Gold and silver medalists, one two. Biles took gold, raisman silver. The top two gymnasts in the world from the top team, the final five. Yay. All five members of the u. S. Womens Gymnastics Team are with us, simone biles, aly raisman. Ladies, good morning. Good morning. Okay. Simone, tell me about your dream last night. What happened . You woke up and did you dream about it . No, i didnt dream about it, but as soon as i woke up yesterday i walked into alys room and i said, i have a really good feeling about today and she said, me, too. You knew that. Do you know what was interesting, i was at the match watching you guys and you guys had done the vault and the unevens and i looked up at the big scoreboard and i saw russia first, we were second, russia was third and we were fourth and i got to tell you my hands got a little swea hands got sweaty. Simone, what were you thinking when you saw the standings . I did not look at it because we had to go to beams so quickly. Everyone told me after wards, but i dont think that it was a tenth apart. Its not something that you can worry about. We only worry about the teams and not what the judges give us. Youre so good. I was hanging with your family and your mom says that you have nerves of steels and your sister cried from the landing to the anthem is over. She had tears coming down and it was beautiful. Aly, when you finished the floor routine, it was an emotional and beautiful moment for everyone in the audience. What was it like for the last moment when you knew that you did something beautiful . Well, it was a special moment. I joust broke down in tears and thinking of the hard work. Four years ago when they broke the time and i got fourth place, it was heart breaking. I just used it for motivation and being here in brazil, it felt like we were in the arena and in the u. S. Everybody was standing up and sheering for us. It was a special moment, and i will never forget. Your parents were doing their signature moves as they always do. Yeah. Gabby, you won this last year i mean last olympics. What did you say to the two teammates after they scored so well . I told them that they did an amazing job and deserved it. They worked so hard in the gym and i am so happy for them. I love them so much. This was a great competition to watch. Madison, youre competing on sunday and this is a instagram that your brother wrote to you. He wrote its blowing my mind that the same little girl that i use today see doing flips on my bed at age 6 now has a gold medal. We have something for you. Simone, theres a podium to your right. Do you see something . Yes. Would you go over and stand up and reveal what is under there. Just pick it up . Just take the cover off. Its a kelloggs box. Look at you. You all look so good. Then on the back. Were some proud of you. Were going to let you check that out. The final five, simone, aly, gabby, laura and madison were so proud of you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Throwing it over to matt. So cool. Now to swimming. Michael phelps and then the gold and he is going leave rio as the second most decorated male swimmer of alltime. Thats a huge deal. Good morning to you. Good morning. How you feeling . I know this is not the outcome that you wanted. Did you feel before the race a little off. Yeah, something happen in the middle of the race that i dont know, i just fell apart. Yeah, you were leading by a fraction and felt surged. Did you just not have anything in the tank to go after him . I think that i used too much energy in the front half and that hurt me in the end. It happens. Yeah, you said after the race that you need a mental and physical break from the sport. Talk to me about that. Do you feel the same way this morn something. Yeah, i feel the same way. I have not taken a break since i started swimming. The longest break is a month. Going in day in and day out and beating up the body takes the toll. Being the age that i am, its time to take a break. I cant say that its over. I am glad to hear that. Theres a lot about the combination and the rivalry and the friendship between you and michael. Is it fair to say ryan that he in your career has served an inspiration and frustration . Yes, you can definitely say that. Definitely an inspiration. Just what he has accomplished in the sport. He brings the best out in me. Hopefully i can say the same to him. You know, the rivalry that we have created and that friendship its definitely im definitely going to cherish it for my life. Do you want to look in the camera and say michael i will see you in tokyo . I can definitely say that because i guarantee that he will be there. Do you really . Yeah. I think so. Michael, i will see you in tokyo. We make news here. Ryan, congratulations. Really a pleasure to see you. Thank you so much. Before we send you to new york you can see the prime time coverage tonight at 8 00, 7 00 central time here on nbc. They will see each other in tokyo savannah. Back to you. I will be there to see that. Now to politics and the fire storm in the president ial race in the labelling of president obama as the fund er of isis and Hillary Clinton is cofounder. Now, trump is tweeting about this this morning. Is he backing off and talking of a party revolt. We have the latest political headlines. Good morning. Good morning to you. A lot going on. The new defense going on for donald trump and tweeting just moments ago the accusations that president obama founded isis were sarcasm and asking why people did not get i. This is different than what donald trump said over the last year hours and given the opportunity to walk it back, he did not. Now, gop sources are fighting a report of a huddle with trump staffers and saying that its a ground game as trump try toss get the campaign back on track. New push back of a report of a plan between donald trump stach ers and gop party leader after several Straight Days from the candidate. The latest labelling president obama an isis founder. He is the founder. He actual lip founded isis but doubling done does not begin to deviscribe what he is doing. He is founder. He is founder. Everybody knows what he meant. You meant that he backed it. I meant that he is the founder of isis. As he takes the aim the republican rip is going nowhere. A new Party Insider asks the rnc to give up on trump and instead focus on saving the senate that jor majority in case he loses in the land slide. Theyre not going to split because these are not the people that i want. Taking a new aim and top clinton travelled to new york for the Clinton Foundation while work on the state department and raising questions on blurred lines. Clintons Campaign Calling suggestions of a conflict of interest obserabsurd and clinto offering up a team and arguing that he is not strong but scare zbld if team usa was as fearful as trump, Michael Phelps and simone would be cow erring in the locker room.

I think somewhere out there we have debbie, Michael Phelps mom, nicole, his fiance, and hopefully boomer, too. Lets talk about headlines in the olympics from the last day. Another big night in the pool for team usa. Michael phelps won his fourth gold medal in rio.

Its mens rugby team defeated britain to capture gold. Announcer todays athlete to watch is sponsored by citi. Proud partner of team usa. Proud ponsponsor of progress. We start this half hour with todays athlete to watch. One of the most recognized stars at these games. Sixtime olympic champ usain bolt, the track and field events begin today and the jamaican sprinter hopes to add to his record setting legacy. Peter alexander has more from olympic park. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. The fastest man on earth almost missed these games. Bolt injured a hamstring and had to withdraw from the jamaican olympic trials. He said hes ready to run in rio and same sentiments he shared with us when we spoke with him in jamaicas national stadium. Rio de janeiro, usain bolts last lap as the greatest sprinter in olympic history. Having won the 100 and 200 meter races in the last two olympics, hes putting his winning streak on the line in brazil. After your 2012 performance in london, you said its what i came here to do. Im now a legend and greatest athlete to live and i have nothing left to prove. Youre back. You have something left to prove. What is it . I want to do something no one has ever done before. Doing it three times is different. It sets myself apart from everyone else. He has to work harder than i did to be as great as i am. Reporter this time bolt heads to the starting line just days shy of his 30th birthday. What does 30 sound like . Sounds old, right . Yeah. It does. I remember when people say these young kids. No one calls me a kid anymore. Reporter bolt says maturity and mental toughness now help carry him as far and as fast as his 65 frame. How does your mind work that makes you superhuman like your physique does . People put pressure on themselves. I think thats one of the biggest things thats out there. When athletes get to these moments, my god, i need to win. Yes, you need to win. You cant stress yourself about it. If you think, you fail. Thank you very much. Reporter few things are more stressful for a top tier athlete than an injury. Prior to his recent hamstring injury, bolt told us how difficult it can be. First of all, track and field is unforgiving. If you get injured, you could train for six or seven months and you get injured and youll be out for two or three weeks and it feels like you havent trained a day in your life when you go back on the track. Reporter bolts startu stature makes him a target. How do you convince haters that you havent been doping . Ive been tested many times. I want to show them what i go through. Its not easy. Reporter greatness never comes easy and bolts toughest opponent may be father time. Could you compete as a 33 year old . No. Hes hoping to do something no one has ever done. Run 200 meters in under 19 seconds. What are you going to do when you win gold in rio . Ive been thinking about it. I havent come up with anything solid yet. Ill do something crazy for sure. Reporter bolts first race is here tomorrow. The first round of the 100 meters. If you listen to him in his press conference here, he sounded loose and confident. Hardly nervous which certainly means his competitors should be. Matt and hoda . All right, peter. Thanks so much. Lets check back with in with mr. Roker. You are talking about weather getting worse. In parts of the gulf they are issuing flash flood emergencies which means flooding is happening. Parts of i10 are closed. I55 closed. A city in mississippi completely cutoff because of this rain going on. Rainfall rates of 3 to 5 inches per hour and its just going to continue. Lets put maps into motion and show you what we expect during the day today into tomorrow. Some areas could be looking at anywhere from 7 to 12 more inches of rain. Flash flooding likely. Tropical moisture will fuel these thunderstorms today, tomorrow and on into the early part of the weekend. As you look at the rainfall totals that we expect through sunday, we talk about some areas upwards of a foot more on top of whats already fallen. Were very, very concerned about the situation in that region. Were going to get to your local clouds near the coastline. Clearing out as we go through the rest of the morning. Temperaturewise, now as you head out its in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Into the rest of the day, it will be hot for the trivalley. Up to 93 degrees. Also well above average for the south bay and the north bay reaching into the upper 80s there. 65 degrees in San Francisco. The peninsula will be a fairly much more comfortable with some 70s.

This stunning city is home to about 7 Million People and up to quarter of them live in communities known as favelas. These are rios poorest neighborhoods. There are about 1,000 in this city alone. You can see them everywhere. They climb up the hillsides. Theyre named for the favela tree that grows in this area and theyre synonymous with poverty and crime. Thats not the whole story. We went to one of rios oldest favela and found that life is both challenging and colorful. Under the shadow of rios christ the redeemer sits a community named for a saint. What are challenges living in a favela . Health, education. Those are top priorities. Few residents would stop to speak with us on camera for fear of associating with our group traveling with a police escort. Often houses look precarious to an outsider but to people that live in them, they rebuilt the homes several times over three generations. You see Building Materials everywhere. You see stacks of cement. It looks chaotic. These are people who are developing plastering a wall. These are people who are slowly but surely improving their homes. We talked about basic services. Everywhere you look theres garbage. It seems like a huge issue here. It is. It constantly piles up unless the government comes in and cleans it or Community Members do it, which both can happen and do happen occasionally but not frequently enough. You know, theres graffiti everywhere. Not only here in the pbut also n rio. In communities where they kind of run things or have historically youll see that graffiti. Means thats their territory. Gangs still have a presence here. A program launched by police eight years ago promised to make things safer and to some extent it has. Heavily armed officers patrol the favela wearing body iron with their names and blood type stitched over their hearts. Community and Police Working together not butting heads . He says the police and community are like a family. Sometimes he says they have problems but they try to solve them in a way that benefits both sides. I was talking to a member of the military police. I kept asking him, is it safe here . Is it safe here . He kept saying yes, yes, yes and yet hes wearing a bulletproof vest and two of his fellow officers followed him out of the Police Station and to be perfectly honest, they are following us everywhere we go. To make sure that everything is okay. Is it safe . It was much safer two years ago than it is now. Because the economy turned down its gone bad again . Part of it is economy decline. Part of it is policing program itself lost respect as it rolled out so in other places where there was widespread abuse and part of it is that people were much more hopeful. Hope remains. This man opened a shop six months ago. People outside of the paf have. What dont they understand . He said its become peaceful. He lived here for 50 years and now he sells snacks and drinks to tourists. The people here at the end of the day get ready to go to bed, they look down and see the lights of rio. Thats sugarloaf right over there. They see modern rio down here. Is there a sense here of envy, jealousy, how do they feel about life down there . I think theres both. People envy. Thats why you have high crime rates. Part of the reason and also the desperation and inequality. Do they want to be there . Not necessarily. People are born and raised in these communities. Theyre very culturally vibrant. They dont see the same sense of community in those neighborhoods. They may walk down during the day and work down there and at night this is where they want to return for their sense of community and comfort. Theres an element of people are born and raised for generations and this is where they can create their lives. This is where they have control over their outcomes. Often theres a cultural element where they dont even imagine what it would be like to live there and people who live there cant imagine what it is like to live here. Theyre right next to each other but theyre worlds apart. Its important as we sit on this beautiful beach on most days to remember there are two sides of rio. Absolutely. Great piece. Coming up, Michael Phelps mom, fiance and 3monthold son boomer all joining us live. How awesome. And billy bush is in the orange room with one announcers unbelievable call during last nights duel in the pool. Wait until you hear this one coming up right after this. Distracting you . When your symptoms start. Doctors recommend taking. Nondrowsy claritin every day of your allergy season. Claritin provides powerful, nondrowsy 24 hour relief. For fewer interruptions from the Amazing Things you do every day. Live claritin clear. State farm knows that for every one of those moments. What . Theres one of these. Sam, i gotta go. Is this my car . This is ridiculous this is ridiculous from car insurance. To car loans. State farm is here to help life go right. The surface pro 4 is the most powerful computer ive ever used everything that i do is really fast, and this is the best tool for running my business. I just bought a book. And while i was telling you about the book, i downloaded a song. Oh, and full disclosure, when we were just chatting about that song thing, someone arranged a date. Guilty. The point is, life is digital. So, carmax, created a site where you can reserve a car online. Come in when its convenient, your car will be waiting. Just another thing to make buying a car better for you. Reads this tweet that i just posted. Oh, that appears to be trending. Lol. Befi was active. Gia, i was energetic. Then the chronic, widespread pain drained my energy. My doctor said moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. He also prescribed lyrica. Fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. For some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function, so i feel better. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. Or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. Common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. With less pain, i can be more active. Ask your doctor about lyrica. Back now at 7 51. Well check in with billy bush covering the orange room. Loom who is with us, billy. Boomer. One and only. Its a tossup between who is wearing better shoes at the Olympic Games, boomer or phelps. Youll like this. Listen to this. This morning we showed you how that heated rival rry between phelps and lochte ended up. If you watched the race in canada, you may have heard a different outcome. Cbc sportscaster Elliott Freeman called the entire race confusing lochte for phelps in what ended up sounding like the swim of lochtes life. Heres how it played out live. Lochte is going for it. Phelps doesnt look like he has this one in him. Ryan lochte going for his 13th career medal saving the best for last. Finally hes going to do it.

An accusation he made and defended multiple times over the last day or so.

Announcer from nbc news, this is a special edition of todays take with al roker, natalie morales, and billy bush live from the Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro, brazil. Welcome to today on this friday morning. I thought you said fresh fish friday. That means welcome. What does it mean . Happy friday . Im billy bush along with nat and al. You hear this song so much if you were Beach Volleyball in the stands, gymnastics, all of the venues. You see brazilians singing along with this song. Did anybody else have the strobe lights going all night long . It was close by then. Something else going on. Michael phelps easily won the mens 200 meter individual medley. 22nd olympic gold medal. What a swim. His family celebrating in the stands. Boomer is a huge star on instagram. How about that ryan lochte went out strong. He was here just a little while ago. Five feet away from us. That lochte really he was good. By the way, ryan you did terrifically in canada. Your race was fantastic. Have you heard about this . No. Come on over here. Check this out. All right. So this was the commentator in canada calling cbc broadcaster friedman calling the race confusing you for phelps. Take a look. Ryan lochte is going for it. Phelps doesnt look like he has this one in him. Ryan lochte going for his 13th career medal saving the best for last. Finally hes going to do it. Ryan lochte is going to beat Michael Phelps in this event. Seconds later he apologizes on air and tweets im sorry. Can you imagine how badly he must feel . Social media attacks, its the worst place to go when you need love and hug. Poor guy got blasted. If i were you, i would get on a plane and get to canada right now. O canada. Your hair is going blond in the back. I have no idea what its doing. Its taking a roller coaster ride. All kinds of stuff going on. Congratulations on the race. And the olympics. Youre coming back in four years. You said it, didnt you . Yes, i am. I mentally need a break right now to relax. I think that loss kind of sparked a little fire in me and hopefully it will keep going for the next four years. Well chat with you in just a bit. We just wanted you to see that. Also history made last night. Have one of these. What are these . This is like a ginger ale with more caffeine. And sugar. Wow. Good way to start your friday. Its just a soft drink. Nothing in it. And stay awake until saturday. More great racing in the pool. Simone manual won an historic gold medal last night tying with canadian swimmer penny oleksiak. This is amazing. They tied. Great olympics. An olympic record but they touched with the same finger molecule a molecule. Being the first africanAmerican Woman to medal in an olympic event. She talked about her emotional journey right after she won. Its definitely been a long journey these past four years. Im so blessed to have a gold medal. It means a lot. This medal is not just for me. Its for a bunch of people that came before me and inspiration to me. Its for all of the people after me who believe they cant do it and i want to be an inspiration to others that you can do it. She has inspired so many. On the medal stand with the tears. It was really touching. Incredible. I cant get over the touching of that wall. Do you remember in beijing. Michael phelps won his eighth gold medal it was a relay. They kept showing it over and over again. Underwater camera. He touched it looked exactly the same time. In this he touched, i mean it looked exactly the same time. In this case it was as exact as it could be. Its incredible. From the pool to the gym and as expected the u. S. Women dominated there. Good night for the simones. Great night for simone. Simone biles winning gold in womens gymnastics, the individual all around. Aly raisman whos her best bud taking silver as well. When you were watching last night, the u. S. Women, they were in second. Then the chinese came up, so it wasnt that huge blowout that everybody was talking about. And then the floor routine, when you saw first aly went first and when she finished her routine, she was just bawling with tears rolling down her eyes because she knew what she had done. It was so incredible. To then be followed by simone and simone was like a rocketship on the floor. You could barely see her, just flying across. Incredible. Doesnt seem humanly possible. It doesnt. The biles move that she does, that two layouts and then a twist, i mean, thats nobody can do that move except her. Its not enough to just do a move. You have to invent a move. Thats right. Shaun white of gymnastics, remember the flying tomato, the know boarder, he always comes up with his own moves. Shes changing the sport. I remember at the bar in athens, you came up with the bush. Yes. What was that . I slid the entire way. Its nothing we can really show you or talk about actually. But it was hes got his own moves, trust us. That was your 50th Birthday Party at the nightclub. I have footage. You have footage, but its in the vault. I have footage. Because it would take so many of us down. By the way, im ready for that boys night out. Here are some fascinating things you may have wondered about during the Olympic Games. Take a look at these two photos of the fierce five in 2012 and this years final five. Can you notice one big difference . This, yes oh, no flowers. This is the first olympics to do away with flowers at the medals ceremony. A spokesperson said flowers are just thrown away which is wasteful and not sustainable. Now theyre giving steaks, very nice, very nice. A nice ribeye which is really good. Perishable. They go back. After competing like that thats what they want. They grill it on a nice little ha biatchy. Dont flowers grow back . They dont grow back. The pool is going green, we know that. They give them a commemorative, a beautiful painting i think. Thats right. Thats better. Dogs playing cards. Thats the gift that keeps giving. Big one, speaking of flowers, fiji, they have a lot of beautiful flowers there. Yesterday fiji won its first olympic ever medal, a gold in mens rugby sevens, beating bring, spanking britain. I love the way they celebrate as a team. When they won this is what they did. They were all singing in a group and praying together, and that really is just such a classy, amazing moment. A team that prays together plays together. One of the rugby members actually works at the airport and another at a hotel, another at a prison. These are regular guys. How about the medal bonuses, it pays to win. Many countries give cash bonuses to the athletes who bring home the medals. The u. S. Olympic committee pays 25,000 to gold, 15,000 to silver and 5,000 to bronze. Theres a wrestling federation that actually pays the wrestlers if they medal. Burrows got 250,000 last year and could get half a million if he wins a gold. Not to mention they get the endorsements as well. I hear china is giving out a million yen which is like 700 grand. China, they just get to stay there. Show me the medal count. Thats it. Well do that in the next halfhour. Check the weather . We do have some severe weather. Serious weather to talk about. As you can see rio, weve got wet weather today, sunny going into the weekend. But back home, boy oh, boy looking at serious stuff for heat. Advisory 17 states, 75 Million People under advisories.

There is a perception amongst dentists that whitening toothpastes are not good for people with sensitive teeth. Some are quite abrasive. What weve developed in sensodyne true white is a product that is 10 times less abrasive than many of the whitening toothpastes that are out there, and especially designed for sensitivity sufferers. Its different, theres nobody else out there that im aware of that has developed whitening for people with sensitivity in this way. The duel in the pool last night as Michael Phelps and ryan lochte swam the 200 meter individual medley. Ryan missed out on the podium coming in fifth but hes leaving with gold and as a consolation hes with us. Second most decorated male swimmer of alltime. Lochte. Good morning, my friend. Good morning. Dude, you are a total machine in the pool. You were leading in the beginning. You said you swam a good race. Was that the best . Did you give it your all . I always give it my all. I felt great going into that race. I felt great the first half and then something happened. I have no idea what it was. Was it a thought that something came into your mind . No. I just felt the pain. The pain, that laacid was buildg up. If you reviewed and went back on the race again, would you have taken more time . If i was supposed to do that race again, i definitely second leg backstroke i definitely would have laid off my legs a little. I think i would have had a better outcome in that race. You had a bit of a reputation in the last olympics. Things have changed in the last four years. For the positive. You changed cities. You changed your diet and lifestyle. What was the switch that said i got to do something differently here . I think it was just growing up. I was a big fish in a small pond at the university of florida. I had been there for so long. It was time for a change in my swimming career. So i packed up my stuff. I moved to charlotte. I had to do a lot of Different Things in my training, friends, family, everything kind of just changed. Including the hair. What inspired the hair . Well, so connor dwyer is the one that said for a couple of guys to change our hair. All right. Lets do it. Of course, me, outgoing one, im on it. So we all did it. And then the one that decided, connor, backed out at the end. We love connor. You backed out . The finger wave there. Im paying for it now. I said earlier it brings out the blue in your eyes or green or something. Will that washout . Look at it. First it was light blue grayish tint and then in the chlorine it turned green and now its coming back to the blue. Blond in the back there. I dont know whats really going on. I have to ask you the girl question. We were talking during the break and we were talking about your account here which is verified. How do you verify . How close a potential mate is .

The t im hall of famer jerry west and my life is basketball. But that doesnt stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. Thatd be devastating. I took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about oncedaily xarelto. A latest generation blood thinner. Then i made the switch. Xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. Xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your bodys natural clotting function. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. To help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. Theres more to know.

We teamed up with usa today to choose our favorite athletes to watch and one of als picks is featured in todays issue. Im no expert so we recruited nancy for her top tune in picks. Welcome. One of my picks, Michael Phelps. Went out on a limb there. Dont let go. He races tonight. 100 fly. Favored in. He races his last race of what we think is going to be his career 4x100 medley relay tomorrow. Tonight is 100 fly. Never lost this in three olympics. If he wins here, its amazing. I dont think any swimmer has done it. Hes already gone four events, four gold medals. He now has 22 gold medals. Crazy thing is last night was his 13th individual gold medal. That breaks a record of 2,100 years. They kept records back then . Apparently. Five fingers waving in the pool tonight. Ryan lochte earlier in the program says he thinks well see him in tokyo. Hell be one of those guys until hes 80 well be saying maybe he will still come back. Lets talk about another team thats dominating in the womens 8 rowing team. The ultimate dream team. Going for their 11th consecutive gold. They have won every title at the World Championships and olympics dating back to 2006. The impressive thing about this team is its not the same team. They keep changing members. Snyder has a great back story. Led the team to the world title in 2009 and then mary came back and so they had to make a decision of who is going to take that job and ended up they went with mary and then a couple months later, her younger brother died of cancer. She had to make decisions. Do i want to keep doing this . What do i do . So she decided to stick it out. She now led them to World Championships the last two so they had fastest time in the heats the other day. Looking strong. Incredible. Also this is incredible. On the team refugee. Hasnt seen her parents since she was six years old. Fled south sudan and took up in a refugee camp in kenya. What happened to her . She was discovered. She is part of the refuge e team. She started running when she was in grade school. She won some races when she was in grade school but it wasnt until a group came to see if there were kids to would benefit running for her foundation she was discovered and here she is at the olympics. Incredible. U. S. Womens Volleyball Team competing this weekend. And bolt. Bolt on sunday night. Usain bolt. Cant forget that. A lot to look forward to. Thank you so much. And to see matt and savannahs pick for athletes to watch, pick up a copy of usa today. Well have our picks next week. Were back in a moment. This is today on nbc.

Almond breeze. The best almonds make the best almondmilk. Proud sponsor of usa volleyball. That does it for our first amazing week in rio. Were still buzzing about our interview with ryan lochte. We cant stop to think about his awesome new hair color. Got us wondering, what will we look like with that same hair color . I think i look good. Brings out the blue in your eyes. Al. You look like doc brown. You have hair. And natalie. Winner, winner. I dont think expected to be another hot day inland. Even a little hotter than yesterday. 92 in fairfield and livermore. Even though well be well above average, i dont think well set any records. That will be the case for the next several days. 88 degrees. San francisco today stays at a nice and mild 65 degrees with breezy winds. Now lets head over to mike with a look at whats happening on the roadways. Traffic is light on the roadways. No major issues. I want to take you over to fremont. I got this word of breaking news. This is not far from north gate park. So it makes a curve around hire. Were hearing about a dumpster fire. Theres concern about the smoke being emitted. This is near newton court. Thats near the curve right here. And north gate park. That area have a shelter in place. Well follow this. No lane closures as far as major roadways. Freeways are moving well. Happening now, the Union Representing the clerks are striking at the court. Mediation talks have broken down this morning. Were updating that story on twitter. Our reporter continues to watch the developments and we will do throughout the day as well.
