Tonight, President Trump has pledged to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. Plus, dark smoke filled the air after a shipping container on Staten Island caught fire. First responders rushed to the scene. Police say one man was killed. And a massive sinkhole outside a Malibu, California home owned by actor Nicolas Cage forced a neighborhood to evacuate. We’ll have more on how long repairs could take. Plus, Tom Llamas reports for the series “The Cost of Denial” about the emerging health crisis 25 years after the attacks of 9/11, the first responders now being diagnosed with dementia. Researchers believe the condition is connected to exposure to toxins at Ground Zero, but dementia is not one of the conditions covered by the World Trade Center Health Program. And finally, it’s an unprecedented NFL showdown; the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams facing off in Australia. Both teams are taking dramatically different approaches to combat the jet lag.
