Devastating deluge leaving dozens stranded. So far, at least one person has died. Right now, more than 70 Million People are under heat advisories or warnings. Now to politics and donald trump returning to the campaign the bold accusation as the republican nominee falls behind Hillary Clinton in Battle Ground states. A wall street journal marist poll shows trump down five in florida and nine in North Carolina and 13 in virginia. Meanwhile, clinton released tax returns on friday and said trump should do the same. In a statement, trumps camp called the move an attempt to distract the voters email scandal. A small many crashes killing all six on board.

Getting things started here at olympic park in rio de janeiro. Great weather for the olympians and families and you at home watching. Closer to home, we are talking about the heavy rain in the lower gulf. You can see it on the radar. Also the moisture will stream up to the mid Mississippi River valley. Northeast and Midatlantic States with the rain today. Heat out west. 94 degrees for thanks, al. Excessive heat warning in effect for new york city today. It will be brutal. 95 degrees.

Overnight tonight, down to 80. No relief from the heat. Tomorrow we do it again. The warnings continue. Definitely want to mid90s but feels over 100 tomorrow. A little better on monday. And thats your latest weather. Natalie. We mentioned a few minutes ago, it was a nail biter for the Mens Basketball Team barely squeaking by over serbia. 9491. Leading the team is Carmelo Anthony. He has now scored more points first to compete in four olympics and a few games way of winning his Third Straight gold medal. That would be an olympic record. He told me that is not all he wants. Carmelo anthony knocks it down. Carmelo anthony is the heart of the Mens Basketball Team. I enjoy competing and playing the u. S. I enjoy playing with the best players in the world. We dont get these opportunities often. I wanted to take advantage of that. Another motivation . Olympic greatness. Anthony fires a rainbow. If team usa keeps winning, he is the only man in basketball history to snag three gold medals. He wants a legacy bigger than basketball. In july, anthony opened the espys to ask people to speak up. The violence is not new. The racial divide is definitely not new. The urgency for change is at an alltime high. Lets talk about off the court. You have become a social activist. How did that become . It was a build up of watching what is happening in front of us and right in things like . Freddie gray situation for example. Thats my neighborhood. Those are my people. I know the families and the moms and dads and uncles and aunts. As you know, in the past, guys like you have not always spoken up. You know, a lot of people tell athletes stay away from politics and religion. Were human beings at the end of what we want to speak on. The knicks star took to instagram to post this famous picture of athletes in the 60s and call for peace in the wake of the Dallas Police officer shootings. A week later . Anthony organized a town hall meeting in los angeles on policing and race relations. He says part of the fix is better schools in poorer areas along with more after School Programs and rec that is celebrated. Athletes develop a platform. If it is only used to sell shoes or whatever theyre doing, then it is not used to its ultimate. While carmelo has talked about social issues at home, dont expect it in rio. My statement is getting up on that stand and bowing my head and putting that gold medal my heart and looking at that flag and listening to the National Anthem. There is no bigger statement than that. Carmelo is a good guy who has grown up a heck of a lot. We keep rooting for team usa. Still to come, olympians before they made it big. Can you guess which swimmer this is . And we have . . Rio.

I think they need to work them all into the story line of pretty little liars. Moving on to the other breakout star. Snls the most spirited cheerleader of team usa. She has been live tweeting throughout the 2016 games. She is rubbing elbows with olympians and making friends with matthew mcconaughey. We just cant get enough of it. . Mary caroll .

Real Country Fresh taste from real ingredients. Welcome to crock country. . Its no secret it takes a ton of hard work and athletic ability to think about competing in the olympics, but whats it really like to train like an olympian . Nbcs keir simmons is back with us now. I guess this is great, guys. You get to use the techniques that olympians use to improve diet and excise is super intense. I had to try to out. Can the olympic techniques benefit you and me . Modern olympians analyze their genes. Now you can do the same. Advanced fitness. Dna fit highlight your physical strengths and weaknesses. If you wanted to buck out of every session, you should figure the sessions to be onethird power and twothird endurance. Which foods to eat and avoid. You are likely to store excess carbs.

Double up on delicious with two egg cheese wake up wraps for 2. Back on a saturday morning from rio and if you walk around the streets around here, you notice many towns throughout the country lots of colorful art. Jenna bush hager went to see what it is all about. It is art with a purpose. Murals with a story and social political imbalance and hope for better times. At sao paulo or batman alley, street art covers walls of several blocks. Recently made legal citys mayor, it is a small sample of the graffiti that turned highways, bridges and tunnels into canvases. You have graffiti and each art manifestation has their own intent. And some of them are social and some are political. Some are social in terms of poverty and social divide. And part of the movement where artists like eduardo and the twins and el have made a name for themselves internationally. So the issues that brazil is facing are so intense that there is a lot to be said. Wherever they are in satisfaction and happiness, there is a need to expression. Much of the art is social and political frustration hidden in plain sight. Street give a voice to the communities they are in. And it is work symbolic of the struggle between classes. Here, we dont have nature. We have only buildings. Street art has very big contributions to the People Living here because they can have a little bit of escape from the city. If there was no street art, world. A population with no voice. The value of the street art in the culture goes well beyond the location where it was created. And the art really is beautiful. The other night, natalie and i went out in a neighborhood in rio. It is all over. I love that. It makes the city vibrant. Sure does. Jenna, thank you. Coming up next, exploring the other hidden gems brazil has to offer, but first these messages. I had a wonderful time tonight. Me too call me tomorrow .
