infected areas. lydia she ran knew is in the norwood section of the bronx, a lot of people worried out there tonight, lydia. >> absolutely, christina. the cooling tower here at the hospital is one of about 100 state employees tested. now, this is, obviously, a huge outbreak that's been happening, so 108 cases have been reported so far. so that's gone up. now we have ten infected buildings, all of which have been decontaminated, but the mayor says, rest assured, everything is under control. today governor cuomo dispatched approximately 150 astronaut workers to test cooling -- state workers to test cooling towers on buildings across the bronx for the bacteria that causes legionnaires' disease. many say critical action like this was long overdue. >> we have to take every initiative possible to see what's going on. >> they should have did that in the first place. i think it's kind of late. >> the pneumonia-like illness has taken ten lives in the south bronx. ten cooling towers have tested positive. during a press conference at the office of emergency management, mayor bill de blasio explained the difficulty in tackling the outbreak which began about three weeks ago. >> when this began, no one -- understandably -- had reason to think that cough might be something much worse, that shortness of breath might be something much worse, because we had never had such an outbreak before. >> city officials are now requiring that every building owner in the city test its cooling tower within the next two weeks or face a misdemeanor. city health commissioner dr. mary bassett believes the crisis is under control. >> now it's really come down, and in the last couple days, we've had no cases. so that's the basis of our confidence. >> state officials are testing cooling towers that have not been tested by the city. new york state health commissioner, dr. howard zucker. >> the governor asked us. we recognized that the community, rightfully so, gets nervous about any kind of situation of this nature. >> the state stepped in because the city mishandled the crisis, the mayor disagrees. >> we took charge on day one, we took matters into our own hands, and that's why the situation is changing. >> ten infected towers have been cleaned, again, and they have been deemed safe. this legionnaires' outbreak is so huge that it's been deemed the largest in the city's history. that's the

the latest from washington. >> at least 44 people were bombings yesterday. among them, women, children and an american service member. two more than service members were also wounded when a bomb blew up outside the u.s. military special forces headquarters at camp integrity in kabul. earlier in the day a police academy in kabul was attacked by a suicide bomber in a police group form. twenty recruits were killed in that blast. and in the hours before that, a city block in a residential part of kabul was leveled by a truck bomb. more than 15 innocent people were killed there. these attacks happened as the taliban and afghan government try to negotiate peace and figure out a way to exist together. these peace talks were long planned but complicated by the announcement that the famous taliban leader mullah omar is dead and has been for two years. that's why the president of afghanistan is blaming this surge in violation on attackers attempting to create a diversion. his office specifically blames the taliban. the state department, though, not willing to make that conclusion. they do just condemn the attacks with this quote. they say the attacks demonstrate again the insurgency's complete disregard for the lives of innocent after begans. such actions -- afghans. such actions have no justification. afghanistan has a big problem right now because before terrorists killed dozens of people yesterday, the united nations had released information this week that the first half of this year is the deadliest half of a year since 2009, almost 1600 innocent civilians were killed there just between january and june. in washington, peter doocy, fox news. >> the president's in ferguson, missouri -- residents in ferguson, missouri, took time out to remember michael

salt lake city arrived safely this morning after a scare last night. flight 1889 had to make an emergency landing in denver after, wow, it got caught in a hailstorm. it caused the aircraft's

it as ap opportunity to have a little fun on twitter, tweeting out comments and photos. earlier this week the search continues. where is jaws? then they asked for advice, what kind of food should we use? after all, he is an nyc gator. pizza? on tuesday, no gator sighting tonight, but ten pounds of hot dogs went missing. coincidence? hmm. >> it's just a nice piece of wildlife. i think the kids

audrey's here with the forecast. christina. temperatures were very nice across the tristate area, and that high of 82 that we hit in central park, that was about 2:30 earlier this afternoon. here are your sunrise and sunset times for tomorrow, we do anticipate more in the way of clouds rotating through but, overall, a nice second half to our weekend. right now numbers in the 70s in many locations. 74 in central park, 73 in poughkeepsie, 73 in sussex and the 60 new zealand monticello as well as towards montauk point. 73 in islip and the same number in belmar. it's really about the dewpoints. this is the measure of moisture in the atmosphere. when we see readings in the 50s, that's a comfortable level. we'll stay that way through tonight, but tomorrow we start to see these numbers rise, and that's going to make things more uncomfortable as we go into the beginning part of the week. in the meantime, we had clouds that rolled through the region earlier this evening, but now it's making its way eastward, so we're starting to see some clearing coming in from the west, and i think we'll go mostly clear through the overnight hours. we have an area of low pressure to our southeast, but it's ever so slow hi edging out into the atlantic, and that's why we're getting a little bit of clearing. by tomorrow i think we could see another cloud deck rotate into extreme eastern portions of long island, so that might not be the best beach location. jersey shore may be better today. temperatures nice from the great lakes all the way to the northeast tomorrow. finding readings in the 90s in memphis, new orleans, over 100 in dallas and san antonio. same thing towards vegas, but temperatures nice across the west coast where we have readings in the 70s from seattle all the way down to l.a. a hook at our -- a look at our future cast, tomorrow mostly sun new york skies and by the afternoon we're going to see that system back its way into long island, and we could squeeze out an isolated shower across the twin forks tomorrow in the noon hours. plenty of sunshine early in the day, clouds quick to move in across new jersey, and by lunchtime the threat of a couple of scattered showers coming in ahead of the next rainmaker that could give us a soaking as we go into tuesday. not the case tonight, it's going to be very nice across the region with temperatures mostly into the 60s. this is actually not the right forecast, but if we move ahead, the beach forecast shows tomorrow will be very nice with the uv index very high at eight. the rip current rate will be moderate, so be careful if you are going into the waters. that water temperature is still in the mid to low 70s. here's the right forecast, mix of clouds on sunday, expect high numbers mostly in the middle 80s. monday, break out the umbrella. a soaking rain on tuesday there, will be the threat of thunderstorms, and they could produce heavy downpours, so i wouldn't be surprised if flooding could be an issue on that day as well. we'll have plenty the sunshine for the second half of the week, and temperatures will be seasonal for this time of year, mostly in the low to mid 80s. >> very nice. >> once again, a very nice weekend with our weather, and the rain is holding off until the week. >> sounds good. audrey, thanks a lot. gymnastic, track and field and ultimate frisbee too?

his second bomb in two innings, 19 on season, curtis pulls the mets each at 4. now get a lot load of this, bottom of four, evan longoria hits what should have been a routine out, but tejada had trouble getting a grip on the ball. with the runner scoring, that was your game-winning run, 5-4, rays, the final. mets win streak ends at seven, and with nationals winning tonight, the mets' lead is cut to just a game and a half. all right, what do you say we now head up to the bronx where this afternoon the second place blue jays continued to keep the heat on your first place yanks. yanks were hoping to bounce back from last night's tough 2-1 loss, and through five innings nova on the hill looking pretty darn good, keeping the power-hitting jays in check allowing them just two hits in what was a scoreless game to that point. but then in the sixth after a walk, a single and another walk, loaded the bases, nova had 101 pitches, gets smoked by justin smoke. bye-bye, so long and, yes, farewell. a grand slam bomb gave the jays a 4-0 advantage. meanwhile, on the mound for the jays, the price was right as in mr. david price who would go seven innings allowing just three hits and three walks while striking out seven, one of those victims being alex rodriguez here in the bottom of the sixth. then in the top of the seventh with brian mitchell now on the mound, troy tulle lits sky, a solo bomb made it 5-0, jays, 6-0 would be the final pulling them to within two and a half of a yanks. now here's skipper joe girardi on his team's current situation. >> you know, i said this was an important series going in, but really what's going to determine the division is you've got two months to go and how you play in the next two months -- not two games. obviously, we lose a tough one last night, pretty good pitchers' duel for a long time today, we lose today, you know? this is the one thing i know about this group, they've been very resilient, and they've bounced back very well, and we'll be back tomorrow. >> we will see. all right, if you missed it yesterday, an ugly, ugly report came out with allegations that pete rose had sex with underage girls back in the '80s, getting them from the same man he was betting on baseball with. these allegations came in a podcast last month from john dowd, the same john dowd who issued the dowd report which subsequently had rose banned from baseball for his gambling on the game. during this podcast, dowd said, and i quote, folks: michael bertlyny told us he not only ran bet, but also ran young girls for rose down in spring training ages 12-14. isn't that lovely? so that's statutory rape every time you do that, end quote. now, that's pretty much as damning an allegation as one can make. sex with young girls. but when asked about his allegations just yesterday, dowd simply said i don't want to talk about this anymore, i think this was blown way out of proportion. you ought to to talk to michael bertolini, he's the one that made them. well, a couple of things here. his lawyer called the allegations libelous to both his client and rose. but what really kills me here is john dowd saying this is blown out of proportion as if sex with 12 and 14-year-old girls is no big deal at all? and if it is true, how come dowd didn't go immediately to the police with this information? i guess he didn't care enough about the alleged victims. maybe he thought pete rose betting on baseball was a far worse crime than raping young girls. to me, this is just a smear campaign against pete rose. to me, john dowd is a bad guy, a really bad guy with zero credibility right now. all right, what do you say we now travel north of the border up to ottawa, ontario, canada, where history was make when mikeing sam here became the first openly-gay player to premiere in a game. sam failed to make a tackle playing sparingly. sam, you'll recall, was picked in the seventh round of nfl draft by the st. louis rams but was cut by them, and then after being signed to the dallas cowboys' practice squad, he was cut by them as well. unfortunately for michael, he's what you would call a tweener, not big enough for one position, not fast enough for another. lost somewhere in between. >> all right. good analysis there. >> okay. >> russ, thanks a lot. a check of the forecast, audrey. looking good there too. >> well, christina, pretty nice -- >> oh, there's a beach ball. >> you know why? i went to go tweet that. >> if you're going to the beach tomorrow, we are expecting the uv index to be high at an 8. the water will feel nice because the temperature is in the low to mid 70s. >> that does it for us tonight. i'm christina park with russ salzburg and audrey puente.
