NBC Nightly News spent Saturday evening moving between street protests, floodwater and a border crossing. The full episode has drawn about 66,000 views in its first two hours, the most among NBC News' new uploads.

José Díaz-Balart opens with Europe. Richard Engel reports from Paris as protests over living costs give way to tear gas and clashes, on a weekend when the city is also hosting an NFL game. "The police are now ordering people to disperse," he tells viewers.

Matt Bradley follows with an intelligence memo that, according to the broadcast, warns Iranian plots against Americans in the Middle East have reached "advanced stages." His report includes President Trump keeping both options open: "If I'm going to do it, and there's a possibility I will, there's also a possibility we'll have a nice, big, beautiful agreement."

At home, George Solis covers catastrophic flooding in New Mexico and Utah. Fire chief David Vega describes crews "literally going door-to-door, searching houses." The midterm segment puts Barack Obama on the trail in Ohio and Trump in Florida and Georgia.

The episode's investigation takes Dana Griffin to the San Ysidro Port of Entry near San Diego. Migrant encounters there have fallen sharply, the report says, but smugglers are still finding new ways to move drugs and people. "It is a cat-and-mouse game," says Sydney Aki, who directs CBP's San Diego field operations.

Briefer items cover Marco Rubio's call for Cubans to work with the CIA, a deadly midair collision in the Philippines and a haul of stolen Hot Wheels recovered in California.

The closing good-news segment is the part many commenters mention. It includes students surprising their school's administrators and Cecil Slaughter and Anna Claire Langley, two people who became friends on a flight and were later reunited in San Diego. "We all were little once," Díaz-Balart says, before handing the next night's broadcast to Hallie Jackson.
