Whats happening ther we are still covering this raging wildfire in california that has grown even larger overnight that threatens even more homes now. How are crews going to get it under control . Well take you there live when we give you the news in a couple minutes. Back to you in rio. Savannah, thank you very much. Let us begin this morning with that alleged Armed Robbery targeting ryan lochte and three teammates. Brazilian authorities investigate diskrepensy in their story. Reporter ryan lochte at home watching events unfold. Two teammates pulled from the plane interrogated for hours. Another teammate, jimmy feigen is in rio at an unknown location. Overnight two american swimmers station now at the center of an embarrassing International Incident surrounded by cameras refusing to answer questions. Ryan lochte is sticking to his story. Are you doing the same thing . Reporter hours earlier jack conger and gunnar bentz were removed from their flight. They are cooperating to the full extent theyve been able to. Are they protesting about the way their athletes are being treated. Not as far as i know. All three were with ryan lochte when he said they were robbed at gunpoint early sunday. Lochte arriving back in North Carolina on what was a prescheduled flight wednesday hours before a brazilian judge ordered him to say. Lochte telling matt on the phone hes sticking by his story but some details have changed saying the taxi he was in was not forced off the road. They stopped at a gas station to use the mens were robbed. The intense focus on this security footage showing men hours after the alleged crime. The brazilian judge says it looks like the swimmers are joking around. Lochte now telling matt they were in shock. And he says the gun was pointed at him and not held to his head as he first told todays billy bush. The guy pulled out his gun. He cocked it. Put it to my forehead. He said get down. I put my hands up. Whatever. Reporter brazilian detectives want the swimmers to explain discrepancies in their earlier stories. That snapchat video was posted at 2 25 p. M. Nearly five hours later the swimmers arrived here at the Olympic Village. The question is what happened in that time . The security footage is time stamped 6 56 a. M. Lochte and feigen told police they took a taxi from the par reveal but Police Believe it was later. Is it really justified to pull olympic gold medal winning u. S. Athletes from a plane . There was a court order. Court orders have to be followed. And i asked the detective how long will this process take. He told me last night that is up to the court suggesting more will emerge in time saying, matt and hoda, we have got access to evidence and we are collecting some more. All right, keir. Thanks. Its a tricky legal situation. For more on that lets go to savannah in new york. I want to bring in nbcs chief legal correspondent. Some questions here. First of all, is lochte in the clear just by virtue of not being in brazil anymore . Is there anything that could bring him back to brazil to face these questions . For the investigation hes probably in the clear unless this actually got so much farther along that there were some kind of charges and then you could have International Proceedings around that. Were a long way from on the story line if this soup gets thicker, it wont be liquid. Its hard to follow exactly why the story has changed so much which doesnt mean theyre lying. In investigations you have discrepancies but there are a lot here. Major inconsistencies thats a red flag to the brazilian authorities. What about the two athletes yanked off the plane . Whats the authority for brazilians to be able to do that and what are they facing now . Theyre subject to the laws of brazil just like anyone in the United States would be subject to our laws and they do have a strong investigative format here not unlike what we consider in the United States with subpoenas where you can pull people. The decision to do it within the context of the olympics and no Greater Public evidence that were aware of does seem to be aggressive. Having said that, theyre subject to questioning and potential charges if there are false or misleading statements to authorities that could carry up to six months in brazil. As for the questioning constitution they have a right to remain silent. They could actually with good lawyering stay out of most of this. That would raise potentially more questions if you were the victim of the crime, why would you need to be silent by explaining exactly what happened to you. As you said legally the soup is getting thicker. Thank you so much. Well send it back to you in rio. Savannah, thanks very much. As much as i respect ari, i dont think the story has changed all that much. There are a couple details that have changed. The basics of the story have remained the same. You talked to him first. One thing were hearing thats different is that he told me that the car was sideswiped and pulled over to gas station. It was not sideswiped. Car was standing still when people came up with guns and badges. He embellished when he told the guy, look, im not getting down on the ground. If you got a gun, you can use it. He told me that. He never had that dirty harry moment. What was his demeanor when he explained it all . He was tired and shocked that it happened. He talked about the surveillance tape of the athletes returning at 7 00. The judge said they were joking and casual. We werent joking. We were in shock. I asked him pointedly, i said there are skeptics who think this story was concocted to hide some kind of other embarrassing behavior. Something you didnt want people to know about. Were you with someone you shouldnt be with . He was adamant about that. He said, no, that didnt happen. We wouldnt make this story up. We were victims and were lucky and happy to be safe. Its interesting to me. I spoke to ryan lochte four hours after he got into Olympic Village. They had been out all night long. Hes not the kind that can weave a brilliant tale when he hasnt been out all night long. The fact he told this story makes me think he could not have invented the whole thing. Its not over. Definitely isnt. Billy, thanks. Lets move on now to the competitive action here in rio. Day 12 was another big one for team usa including history making performances on the track. Natalie is here with all of the details. What a great u. S. Women winning first gold medals in track. Highlights from another busy night in rio. For team usa, an olympic first.

In womens 200 meter final, usas torre bowe off to a slow start settling for bronze. Thompson stride for stride. Thompson won the 100 meters grabbed her second gold here in rio. At the same time on copacabana beach, the u. S. Womens Beach Volleyball team was back in the spotlight. Kerri Walsh Jennings and april ross defeating brazil for the bronze medal. Its over. Just one night after their stunning loss to another Brazilian Team in the for the gold. Im so honored to have won this.

You said this was the hardest match of your life to play. Why . I have a new found respect for the bronze medal match. We were devastated the night before. We didnt sleep a wink. We had 24 hours to come to grips with what just happened and to fight for a chance at anything. Youre not talking physically but emotionally to gather yourselves. Mentally. And to have to fight in that bronze medal match. You either get a medal or go home empty handed. A lot of people predicted that would be the gold medal match right there. Those two teams. You also not only had to gather yourself before the match, you had to gather yourselves during the match. You got down and you waged a comeback. Im so proud of us. We always stick together. We got our butts kicked in the first game. I knew they werent comfortable and a matter of time and april went on a digging spree. Her defense last night was insanity. It got me going around and then once we joined forces it was magic. The most decorated Beach Volleyball player in history by the way. How does that feel . It makes me very proud. Ive done it and admire and they make me better and theres no shame in a bronze medal. Im ashamed of thinking that. Interesting to hear you say that. You thought there was shame in the bronze. Thats my ego talking and ignorance to me. Its a terrible way to frame things. Because its like, we won this. We didnt lose. We won this. We lost our chance to win a gold but we won this bronze medal. In tokyo ill be 80 years old. Can you see this Team Back Together in tokyo . Ill ask you . Ill look this way. I can totally see us together in tokyo.

Ryan lochte spoke to you and was sticking with his account. The questions are mounting this morning over ryan lochte and his teammates story. The detective running the investigation telling me hes gathering more evidence, evidence that led Brazilian Police to pull u. S. Olympians from plane as they were about to head home. This morning three u. S medal swimmers are stranded in brazil. Overnight gunnar bentz and jack conger leaving a rio Police Station tight lipped and swarmed by news cameras. Hours earlier, they have been pulled from their flight before it took off from rios airport. Their passports temporarily confiscated and according to the olympic committee, jimmy feigen is now in communication with the authorities. Ryan lochte is reaffirming his side of the story telling matt lauer in a phone conversation they were in shock after they say they were robbed at gun point early sunday but a brazilian judge said it shows them appearing unfazed by the brush with an armed robber and saying it looks like theyre joking around. Police say they believe the athletes left club france at 5 45 a. M. Ryan lochte says they were robbed while in a taxi returning to the olympic taxi was forced from the road. We got pulled over in our taxi. And these guys came out with a badge, police badge. Now he says they stopped to use the mens room in gas station. Lochte told matt that a gun was pointed in his direction not as he first said held to his head. A guy pulled out his gun. He cocked it. Put it to my forehead. He said get down. I put my hands up. Whatever. According to the documents, lochte telling police there was one robber. Feigen said there was more. Locke lochte says authorities never asked him to stay in brazil. Not the case for lochtes olympic teammates, now stuck in rio until detectives here get to the bottom o happened.

Thank you. Get the latest news and weather any time on nbc washington app. 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. You know that song. Welcome to today on thursday, august 18th, 2016. Im billy bush with al and nat live in rio. You are listening to is that the back street boys . No. Its new kids on the billy said im secretly wanted to always be a back street boy. You wanted to be in a boy band . The first shoot i ever did for the today show was with a great producer named robert. We went to nsync so lou perlman had a new one down in orlando called natural. Guys, one more time. Billy, its your moment. Come on, billy. I spoke too soon. Do you have a song . Al, come on. Go, billy go, billy you have to sing, billy. How about this move . New kids on the bloco. Al, that felt so good. Hes going back for more. I think al wanted to be i think hes losing his mind. I think youre losing your mind. Were bringing thats back to new york. This is the jam. Oh my god where has this been my whole life . We need a station. Im just getting an iv. Keep drinking, al. You didnt even touch yours yet. We lead off with a serious ryan lochte is continuing to dominate the headlines here in rio even though hes gone. Not because of his medals. Officials are questioning his story that he and three other olympic swimmers were robbed at gunpoint early sunday morning. As a reminder heres what ryan told me about the incident. Most jarring part. We got pulled over in our taxi and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge. And then the guy pulled out his gun. He cocked it. Put it to my forehead. I put my hands up. Whatever. So matt lauer spoke to ryan. He softened some of the elements of the story there. He also off camera told me the car was sideswiped by guys with badges. They pushed them toward the gas station where they pulled them over. So the sideswiping never happened. I think he told matt there was no cock and gun loaded to the there wasnt a dirty harry moment. He also told me he said if you got a gun, go ahead and use it. The other guys are lying on the ground. That dirty harry moment never happened. After talking to matt last night, he Still Believes the essence clearly something happened. That he feels, you know, there is something that happened. Somewhere in between. And matt did ask him is there something that youre embarrassed about that you dont want to come out . Thats the rumor here in rio is perhaps theres something that they got caught up in something or maybe drank so much that they you said cameras are everywhere. I was here a couple years ago. I talked to the mayor. He brought me into the control room. They showed me there are cameras on every block. They can zero into every square meter of this city. There are 10,000 cameras throughout all of this area that were in right here. So we will know and most likely the reason they pulled these two swimmers off of the plane, they have support that. Theres no way they could cause an International Incident. The fact is, this story embarrassed the host country of the olympics and so they are going to make sure that people know that maybe this is not exactly not that version of events. You said that gunnar bentz and jack conger, the two swimmers pulled off the plane and jimmy feigen remains in brazil and will speak today. He is said to be cooperating with law enforcement. That will be interesting. Their version of events is changing. Whether it was one guy that held the gun to two guys. Theres a lot of they reported Different Things about what actually happened that night. That sort of adding to what is already a very murky the good news is nobody got hurt. Theyre all safe. Move on. And hopefully well get to the bottom of it. Well move on but its been an if it turns out to not be a true story, its embarrassing for our swimmers. My feeling is most of the story is true. I told matt this. When i spoke to lochte, he came in at 7 00 in the morning. I spoke to him. Its a long way to travel from Olympic Village to get to ipanema where i met him. Maximum two hours sleep if any sleep. Lochte even when hes lucid has the ability to weave a tale of details. Im impressed you were able to dig down and bring that word up. Thank you. Its a lovely word. Heres the question, when you talk to him, it was four or five hours after he returned to the Olympic Village. You guys were shopping. Not even. It was less. He might have been there to report what was happening at usoc because its outside o house. How did he seem in that moment . Did he seem like he had been drinking . They were out. Clearly. Theyre celebrating. My thing is when youre a foreigner traveling in any country, you have to be careful and you cant put yourself in that situation where weve been warned about things that could happen here. If youre out doing the things that how about happier news. For example, americans brianna rollins, nia ali and Kristi Castlin making history as the first womens team ever to sweep, one, two, three in track and field at the womens 100 Meter Hurdles last night. Also marking the first u. S. Gold medal in track at the olympics. They take this amazing photo after the race with the american flags. We had them recreate that. We recreated that today on today. The flags are perfectly lined up. Gorgeous. Whatsem said the sweetest thing is that we are genuinely friends. They celebrated together. I was watching a british announcer who was doing the race. He said could it possibly be it never happened before. A sweep for america. It is it is the women jump up together and into each others arms. It wasnt go gold, silver and bronze. And then who comes out onto the track but titus ali. He was here on our show earlier. Hes just the cutest little kid. Hes absolutely delicious. Big Boomer Phelps is upset about this. Hes not into his personality yet. This young lad at 15 months very impressive. He probably wont remember this but some day look back at the pictures and know what the moment meant to us. Lets get a check of the weather, lets show you what we have. Were talking about again more heat unfortunately. That crazy fire outside of los angeles. Weather warnings, fire watches california all the way up into the Pacific Northwest. The blue cut fire over 25,000 acres, about 4 contained. The bad problem is we have winds, winds northwest 45 Miles Per Hour gust, 35 Miles Per Hour gusts s in Southern California. The heat is a problem. Temperatures 15 degrees above average low humidity. The heat down the coast. Look at the Pacific Northwest. Were talking record setting heat as we get into this weekend with temperatures into the upper 80s, low to mid90s. The fact is you get into the heart of it. Look at these temperatures. Eugene, oregon, 100 on saturday, 105 in medford. Portland will see a high of 101 degrees. Thats what going on around the country, here is whats happening in your neck of the woods. Right here at home, partly to mostly cloudy skies o these clouds are moving on out and taking the raindrops with them as well. Bulk of the rain is already over. Only the slightest chance for a shower later today. By and large if you cant find the umbrella youre probably not going to need it today or tomorrow. Mid to upper 70s. Remainder of the day, upper 80s to 90 degrees. Highs, dry with plenty of sunshine. Tomorrow looks good, too. Plenty of sunshine, tomorrow 92. Than thats your latest weather. Latest weather. Coming up, the final five celebrate their victories with zac efron and time off for fun in rio. Were talking to the olympic champs.

Evacuated families are being warned that large number of homes have been destroyed. Some schools miles away from the fire are closed today because of drifting smoke. If you felt like someone is watching you while you surf the web, youre probably right. Researchers at the university of washington looked at web tracking over the last 20 years and found at least 75 of the worlds 500 most popular websites contain web tracker. Thats up from less than 5 back in 1998. Researchers also found half of those websites contained at least four of the third party trackers. M pulling the step it activity trackers from its happy meals. It comes after concerns over skin irritations that may happen from wearing the band. The device counted steps. No word on how many customers have been affected. Millions of americans were glued to their tvs the past 12 days watching every hand spring, tuck and twist from the u. S. Gymnastics team. If you thought it was an emotional roller coaster for you, imagine being aly raismans parents. Now one concerned fan has started a gofundme site hoping to raise money to provide the raismans with postolympics rest and relaxation. The money will go to a spa day. They certainly deserve one. Lets go back to rio with a check of the weather from al and a special guest. Im doing great. Thanks so much. Th u but came away with wednesdays competition with a silver medal. Equestrian lucy davis making her olympic debut here in rio. n thats right, yeah. So its your first olympics and youre going home with a medal. Thats got to be a great feeling. Its my dream just to be here, so to home with a medal is the cherry on top. We came with a strong team. Unfortunately one of our strongest members, her horse was injured yesterday and we had to kind of carry on without her, so we were even more happy to pull away with a medal. That was madison and her house. You are a team of members but youre also a team with your horse. You have to what is that relationship . Well, its really a neat sport because youre connecting with an animal and you need to know what they are feeling, you are fresh, if they are tired. You need to know at all times and execute in a really short period of time, about a 2 00 period where you cant make many mistakes. Its really important to know whats doing on with your horse as well without them obviously explicitly telling you. You and your horse have one more event. We have individual finals tomorrow. Its a clean slate once you qualify, so everybody is equal. Hopefully we can pull out another medal. All the best. Congratulations. Your mom and granddad are all here. Everybody is here. I like that head of hair, very george prepard. Show you whats going on for weather. For the weekend, looking pretty darn good if youre in the western part of the country.

And that is your latest weather. If theres one thing the two of us know, its how to have fun on the road soaking up local flavor which we ate every local delicacy that we could get our hands on. We ventured out on a mandate to one of the most mouth watering destinations in rio. If eating were an olympic sport, billy and i would be standing on the podium. Since arriving in rio we have chowed down on several brazilian specialities from snacks and seafood to beverage, decadent desserts and of course the meat. So much meat. Everybody loves meat here. Our rio food tour wouldnt be complete without a stop here. Food park. A gathering of 20 or so trucks that meets every tuesday through saturday offering the best of rios vibrant culinary scene.

Another full day of competition here ahead of us. Here are some of the athletes you need to know. Okay, arnold. A small town girl with big olympic dreams. 25yearold er tori bowie. The only american runner to claim two medals in rio but tori didnt grow up in the best of circumstances. At 2 years old they were abandoned by their mother. Put in foster care. Grandma became their guardian and role model. She watched the olympics from her couch four years ago but tonight hoping to take home her third medal. Tori credits her grandmother and support of her hometown for all of her success. One day she hopes to return home and read welcome to sandhill, home of tori bowie. And a 25 year old a promising athlete who is running in his fathers footsteps. Matt and his dad share the same name and went to the same college and now theyre twotime olympians. Dad, matthew, one of the fastest runners during the 1970s and early 80s. If he didnt have running, he might have ended up in jail. Son, matt, respected his dads toughness but at times he feared him more than he loved him. Thats the way it is for a lot of us. Admiration for his father is apparent tattooed saying like father, like son across his chest. Something his dad wasnt too happy about at first. Very handsome guy. He came in fourth place missing the medal stand but tonight another chance to make his dad proud in the 1,500 race. If he wins gold, hell try to persuade his father to get his own tattoo that would read like son, like father. I like that. We have a story about an unlikely olympian. I love this story. Twotime allamerican wrestler at the university of iowa but two years ago decided to take a mental and physical break from the sport. He buys a pickup for 500 bucks and travels out west living out of the truck for five months before he moves into a trailer. In california, daniel spent two years climbing rocks and doing soul searching and he couldnt stop thinking about the sport he loved wrestling. So last year daniel decides to make a comeback. Starts training again with his wrestling club. Tries out for the u. S. Olympic wrestling team and wins. Tomorrow daniel competes in the 57 kilogram freestyle. What a story. Out in the wild and dont put your food in a tree. Wait for the bear to heres to comebacks, everyone. I love stories like that. Next from comebacks to drinks. Well get involved in this. The moves of the brazilian martial art. Billy is going to try them out after this. Everything but those moves. I used to blame the weather for my frizz. Turns out my curls needed to be stronger. Pantenes prov formula makes my curls so strong. They can dry practically frizz free. Because strong foster kid black immigrant cancer patient small muslim the only label that matters is olympian. General mills wants me to let you know that we use real stuff to make these cereals tasty. That means no artificial flavors or colors. Now for the moment ive been waiting for. I get the trix. Silly real trix rabbit, it just starts achingoup and it starts aching like so deep within the tooth that i couldnt handle it. I started eating on like one side of my mouth, for like a whole month i was just eating on one side of my mouth and then finally i was like, i cant do this. My dentist said that i should use sensodyne. Life without having to worry about whats gonna hurt my teeth, if its gonna be too hot, or too cold, if its gonna have ice in it.

And this was invented as a way to disguise a fight with a dance. Its evolved into a beautiful and soulful art form going on all over the world. I know that ricky martin does it for exercise. Take a look. You can see the soul of brazil in their eyes and faces. They practice one of brazils most celebrated cultural pastimes, a source of pride and national heritage.
