To turn them green. And hot in cleveland. Gripped by baseball fever, can they win it all . Nightly news begins right now. From nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news with lester holt. Good evening. Seven days to go until election day and both Hillary Clinton and donald trump are on the offense and on message. Clinton trying to pivot from the probe, to make an appeal to women voters, while trump is renewing his vow to repeal obamacare. And theres less time in this race than those seven days may suggest due to early voting now under way. A record 26 million americans have already voted, thats twice as many than we saw at this point four years ago. Chuck todd will update us on the state of the race, but first to the campaign trail, starting with Andrea Mitchell in florida. This is not where the Clinton Campaign expected to be with one week to go. Again tonight back in florida, trying to distract attention from the email controversy by revving up their attacks against donald trump. Tonight Hillary Clinton under renewed fire over her private server, going back on offense, targeting donald trump. He does not have the temperament to be our commander in chief. Reporter behind the scenes, the clinton t see no slide in their polls from the email controversy, but theyre still nervous. Top aides telling nbc news, theyre focused on trying to galvanize a key part of the base, women voters. Even bringing a former miss universe, Alicia Machado to the rally today. Describing how she was treated by trump. She says to me, miss housekeeping. Its clear to me he he has spent a lot of time, demeaning, degrading, insulting and assaulting women. Reporter but new uncertainty over the email fallout. 26 of independents in one survey saying it makes them less likely to vote for clinton. And top aide huma abedin, again out of sight today. Her lawyers saying she doesnt know whats on that laptop. As clintons husband and other supporters spent another day going after the fbi director. People who do this for a living evaluated these charges and found them falling flat. You dont announce and say, we have an investigation, may theres something there. Maybe theres not. But well let you know in a few weeks or so. Reporter in battleground florida, the race is tight, with Trump Supporters showing up at clintons rally. Gone is hope of clinton closing with a positive message, at least for now. The campaign strategy, to counteract the reporter this is katy tur. We cant trust Hillary Clinton with our health care anymore than we can trust her with classified information. Reporter donald trump and running mate mike pence, hoping to bring republicans home. I will ask congress to convene a special session so we can repeal and replace. Reporter and gain ground with their opposition to obamacare. The case has never been stronger for repeal. Reporter operatives Say Team Trump has a golden opportunity, a chance for a triple tagging clinton on the revival of the fbi investigation into her email server. The allegations cnn contributor and durant dnc chair, donna brazil, gave clinton questions before a cnn debate, and the rise in obamacare premiums. Rigged system themes that play into their change narrative. They will say anything and do anything, and cling to their power and prestige at your expense. Reporter today the Campaign Announced a 25 million ad buy, a obama won in 2012. The goal, to convince people trump is expanding the map. I think theyre listening to the voices in their head. Theyre listening to what their agenda item might be and ignoring the actual data on the ground. And thats always dangerous. Reporter but more hurdles. A glaring snub from paul ryan, the leader of the republican party, who is still not campaigning with trump, even in his home state of wisconsin tonight. Though ryan says he did vote, he didnt even trumps name. Im supporting our entire republican ticket. Reporter john kasich wrote in john mccain for president , underscoring a risk in the gop that even disdain for Hillary Clinton cant amend. Outside of philadelphia today donald trump said hed replace obamacare with Health Care Savings accounts. Though he said he would call a special session of congress to repeal it, thats not as easy as it sounds. Even if democrats do have enough votes to block that legislation. Lester . All right, katy tur tonight, thank you. We want to bring in our justice correspondent, pete williams. Whats the latest youre hearing . Well, despite a roundtheclock effort, they say investigators are nowhere near being finished analyzing the emails found on neath wieners laptop. A theres no answer yet to one big question. Emails are dupe cats of tens of thousands already checked by the fbi in investigating the clinton email server. Fbi director james comey and attorney general Loretta Lynch had a brief private meeting yesterday. Justice Officials Say they both agreed on the need to move quickly to get the work done. Theres just no way to tell how long its going to take, no progress bar at the bottom of the computer screen. They say its answers by election day. Pete williams, thank you. So tonight with one week until this campaign is finally over, it all comes down to the map and mining the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win. After a series of october surprises, the picture is in plucks as we hit the november home stretch. Where do things stand right now . No one better to ask than our moderator of meet the press, chuck todd. Lay it out for us. A week ago, w w democratic wave. But with the fbi investigation reignited its possible that clintons path to 270 has narrowed. This was the map before the fbi announcement. Now, let me walk you through it. The tossup state is nevada. After that, everything is moving from her column to tossup . North carolina, to 270. Trump meanwhile feels good about georgia, arizona, and utah, that the republican vote is coming home. What does that mean . Theres a path for him. Florida, north carolina, ohio, and iowa. Look where that would put him, 259. He still needs another state. I dont buy colorado for him. Thats still in the blue column. He needs to break through the midwest. Wisconsin may be out of reach too, but without it he doesnt have a path. With it, he could get lester . Thank you, chuck todd.

Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez has the latest for us. Yes, were going to start evacuating the command area. Reporter the massive fireball could be seen for miles.

Intelligence sources tell nbc news, hackers previously linked to the russian government are exploiting a vulnerability in its windows operating system for cyber attacks. The same group u. S. Intelligence believes is responsible for hacking the Democratic National committee. As nbc news Cynthia Mcfadden explains, microsoft has been in the kremlins cross hairs for quite some time now. . . Reporter over the last several months, Vladimir Putin has engaged in a series of provocative moves. According to the u. S. Government, from interference in the u. S. Election, to nuclear sabrerattling. Relations between russia and the u are at a low point. I think were at the lowest ebb since the end of the cold war in terms of our relations with russia. Putin is an old kgb officer who views the world as a zerosum game. Reporter and now going after american companies. Aioren u. S. Intelligence official tells nbc news that Vladimir Putin is specifically targeting Software Giant microsoft. Why . Not only because they are the most prominent American Company in the i. T. Space, but they are also known to the russian people and businesses as an easily understood collaboror with u inteigence. In a statement to nbc news, microsoft says, we dont spy on anyone. D government to spy on others, and we never would. But putin is pushing to rid the country of all foreign software, in both the government and in statecontrolled companies. And its already begun. With the moscow City Government weaning itself off microsoft, to be replaced by russian products. If putin gets his way, Microsoft Office and windows will be banned. Its a signal that the russians really mean business now about nationalizing making sure they can keep their own security content. Reporter the russians are fully aware that microsoft products, like all software, can be used as weapons in cyber warfare. Just before christmas last year, according to a sensitive u. S. Homeland security document, obtained by nbc news, the russians used Microsoft Office attachments to shut down the ukraine electrical grid. The kind of thing russia is worried about the u. S. Having the ability to do t to further make their point, last week the russians also banned linkedin, the social media site microsoft is in the process of buying. So part economic message, part shot across the bow, part attack on american i. T. , part protectionism, but all, i think, very consistent with the kind of escalation weekroso stock aked a ae t high.

Live at 6 00. An investigation into a multimilliondollar budget how do you get the department out of the budget crisis . Thats a good question. A new wheel tax would bail the Parks Department out of a shortfall but the i team has learned the same department in the red is spending thousands of dollars on trips. Eric ross joins us live in studio. Reporter in addition to those trips, we discovered the Parks Department wrapped up thousands in credit card whether the department is looking at its own spending before asking taxpayers to bail them out. Lets just say the wheel tax doesnt pass and thats no longer on the table. As parks director, how do you get the department out of the budget crisis . Thats a good question. To understand the question, you first have to understand what could happen when youre up against a 2. 5 million budget shortfall. The majority of the 44 million operating budget is spent on facilities, maintenance and employees. Two and a half Million Dollars can mean closing facilities. It could be raising fees by 10 to generate an additional Million Dollars. It could be eliminating staff. To prevent that, the parks director supports charging all Milwaukee County drivers a new wheel tax fee. First it was 60. Now its down to 30. The proposal is currently in the hands of the county executive
