It's been nearly 30 years since Scott Bakula's Sam Beckett got lost in space. The reboot hinges on the premise that a modern-day team, which includes Minnesota's Ernie Hudson, is determined to find him. But it's really just a chance to recycle a compelling premise that gives new lead Raymond Lee a chance to zip in and out of premises rich with tension, starting with a 1985 attempt to steal the Hope Diamond. This new version takes time travel much more seriously (the wisecracking Dean Stockwell is dearly missed), perhaps because producers are afraid to revisit the original's camp value. They should make the leap. 10 p.m. ET Monday, NBC

As the U.S. attorney in Kansas in 2019, Stephen McAllister said he asked the FBI to initiate an investigation into Roger Golubski, a former detective long suspected of various criminal activities.
A Texas judge has expanded her order blocking the state from investigating families of transgender youth who have received gender- affirming medical care. Judge Amy Clark Meachum issued a temporary injunction Friday preventing the state from investigating members of the LGBTQ advocacy group PFLAG Inc. over the care. The group has more than 600 members in Texas. Meachum in July issued an order blocking investigations against two families of transgender children who had sued the state. The ruling was the latest against the state’s efforts to label gender-affirming care as child abuse.
North Carolina’s hospitals and hospital systems have unveiled an offer that could shake up stalled negotiations on legislation that would expand Medicaid to cover hundreds of thousands of low-income adults. The North Carolina Healthcare Association said it sent an offer on Friday to Republican legislative leaders and Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper. Both the House and Senate approved expansion measures in June but no agreement was reached before the General Assembly's primary work session ended. Senate leader Phil Berger this summer accused the association of refusing to compromise on “certificate of need” rules for medical facilities. The association's offer contains changes and outright repeals to those rules.
President Joe Biden is meeting with family members of WNBA star Brittney Griner and another American detained in Russia, Paul Whelan. The meetings Friday at the White House are the first face-to-face encounter between the president and the relatives of Griner and Whelan. Administration officials say the sessions are meant to underscore Biden’s commitment to bringing home Americans held overseas and to establish a personal connection, but are not an indication that negotiations with Russia for their release have reached a breakthrough. A national security spokesman told reporters Friday that the U.S. had made a serious offer to get the Americans home but the Russians had not responded to that offer.
For the second time in less than a year, Chicago-born R&B singer R. Kelly finds himself convicted of serious federal child-sex crimes and staring at a lengthy prison term.
Stricter air quality regulations are coming for northern Colorado businesses after the Environmental Protection Agency downgraded the area to a category for “severe” violators of ozone standards. Drivers may have to be pay higher gas prices too. That’s because the reclassification announced Friday prohibits the sale of conventional gasoline within one year. The Colorado area was one of six areas to get downgraded by the EPA along with the Chicago area; the Dallas-Forth Worth and Houston areas in Texas; parts of Connecticut, the New York-New Jersey-Long Island area and the Morongo Band of Mission Indians in southern California.
A Texas judge has ordered the state’s child welfare agency to halt all investigations into the families of transgender children if they are members of the LGBT advocacy nonprofit PFLAG.
Mexico’s Independence Day parade had even more of a militaristic air this year coming just days after the relatively new National Guard was passed completely to the command of the military. The gray-camouflaged National Guard troops were a heavy presence Friday in the display in central Mexico City. With the guard’s recent transfer and a push to extend permission for Mexico’s military to remain in a policing role through 2028, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has concentrated his domestic security strategy on the country’s soldiers and marines. Standing before rows of thousands of troops Friday, López Obrador thanked the navy and army for their loyalty.
NEW YORK — The music of the night is coming to an end — after 35 years.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has fractured rib cartilage after taking a hit during the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Coach Brandon Staley said a CT scan Friday morning confirmed the injury. Staley said the third-year quarterback is day-to-day and that his status will be evaluated again on Monday. The Chargers don’t return to the practice field until Wednesday, when they will start preparing to host Jacksonville on Sept. 25. Herbert only missed one play and still threw the ball effectively after the injury.

CHICAGO — By sending unknown rookie Hunter Gaddis to the mound Thursday in a makeup game at Progressive Field, the Cleveland Guardians sent a message to the Chicago White Sox:
SAN DIEGO — The Chargers have talent advantages over the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Pentagon's intelligence chief says Russian forces have shown themselves incapable of achieving President Vladimir Putin’s initial objectives in Ukraine, as things stand now. Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier spoke on Friday to an intelligence and national security forum outside Washington. He said Putin is at a point where he will have to revise his initial aims in invading Ukraine. Berrier said what Putin decides next will determine how long the conflict continues. His comments followed Russian forces latest major setback, a Ukrainian offensive that drove Russians out of a large swath of northeast Ukraine. Putin on Friday vowed to keep pressing his offensive.
Hundreds of people, including police officers from throughout Colorado, paid tribute Friday at a funeral service for Dillon Vakoff, a suburban Denver police officer who was fatally shot while trying to break up a family disturbance earlier this week. Police motorcycle officers led the procession that included a hearse bearing the Arvada officer’s casket to a Lafayette church as residents saluted along the route. The 27-year-old Vakoff died Sunday after being shot while he and another officer responded to the disturbance that spilled into a street outside a housing complex. He was the second Arvada police officer to be killed in the line of duty in two years. A suspect is in custody.
Marcus Stroman won at Wrigley Field for the first time since signing with the Cubs, pitching no-hit ball into the sixth inning during a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Stroman, who signed a $71 million, four-year contract, had been 0-5 with a 7.11 ERA in nine previous starts at Wrigley Field this season. Zach McKinstry homered and tripled as the Cubs extended a winning streak to four for the first time since mid-August. Colorado has lost three of four and dropped to a major league worst 22-48 on the road.
The Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders look to shake off season-opening losses when the two 2021 playoff teams meet in Week 2. The Cardinals got blown out at home by Kansas City in the opener, while the Raiders lost a close game on the road to the Chargers. Both teams made the playoffs as wild cards last season and come into this year with high hopes of returning to the postseason.
Maryland’s football stadium will have a new name next month. The athletic department announced Friday a partnership with SECU, which is a state-chartered credit union. The deal includes renaming the venue SECU Stadium starting Oct. 1. It is currently called Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium. SECU is set to pay Maryland Athletics $11 million guaranteed, including a $2.5 million gift supporting programs and facilities. That includes the construction of a basketball performance center. The partnership is for 10 years. The school says Capital One and Maryland Athletics mutually agreed to terminate their current agreement.
Aston Villa further eased the pressure on manager Steven Gerrard with a scrappy 1-0 win over Southampton in the English Premier League earned by Jacob Ramsey’s 41st-minute goal. The midfielder’s first goal of the season lifted Villa to 13th place with a victory that built on its battling point against Manchester City two weeks ago. In between the league paused following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and there were tributes to the late monarch before the game. It was a forgettable game between two teams still searching for a consistent identity. Southampton slipped to a third defeat in four games.
SAN DIEGO — What is the insanely productive state of Alex Morgan's game, a goal-scoring avalanche in the debut season for San Diego Wave FC? How do you explain the absurd level of play at 33, as she shreds defenders like a spry 20-something?
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed Friday to spend all $12 million he has been given by state lawmakers on flights and buses sending migrants to sanctuary cities and states in protest of what he calls President Biden’s “reckless” border policies.
Ross Chastain heads into the first elimination race of NASCAR’s playoffs in a pretty comfortable position above the cutline. Kyle Busch, Austin Dillon, Chase Briscoe and Kevin Harvick are trying to stave off elimination Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway. And yet Chastain can’t relax, even as he sits ninth in the 16-driver field. The bottom four in the standings will be eliminated when the checkered flag falls at the Tennessee short track, and Chastain can’t guarantee he won’t be knocked below that cutline. He’s angered enough fellow drivers this year that any payback headed his way could be delivered at a most inopportune time.
Real Madrid has denounced the use of racist language to denigrate forward Vinícius Júnior. The Brazilian has been the focus of a debate in Spanish sports talk shows and sports news programs about the appropriateness of him dancing when he scores goals. But Madrid was moved to issue a statement in defense of its player after a guest on a televised sports talk show reportedly said Vinícius, who is Black, should stop “doing the monkey.” The club added it will take legal action against anyone who uses racist language against its player.

MINNEAPOLIS — While waiting for a flight last weekend, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve opened Twitter and saw Anthony Edwards' name trending. She clicked to see why.
The Southernmost Point marker in Key West, Florida, a landmark delineating the continental United States’ southernmost spot of land, became a memorial to Queen Elizabeth II when city workers installed a British flag and royal purple banner at the much-photographed site beside the Atlantic Ocean. Friday’s tribute was particularly fitting because the long-reigning monarch, who died Sept. 8 at age 96, visited the Florida Keys in 1991. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip stopped at Dry Tortugas National Park and Fort Jefferson, 70 miles west of Key West in the Gulf of Mexico, on the royal yacht.

Barnes said he had agreed to appear at a forum hosted by the Main Street Alliance and the Wisconsin Farmers Union, groups that typically align with Democrats. Gov. Tony Evers and Republican challenger Tim Michels are debating on Oct. 14.
Green Bay Packers defensive backs talked boldly before the season about the possibility of being the NFL’s best secondary. It didn’t take long for them to get a reality check. The Packers are preparing for Sunday night’s game with the Chicago Bears while trying to figure out what went wrong in a season-opening 23-7 defeat at Minnesota. The Packers allowed Minnesota's Justin Jefferson to score two touchdowns while catching nine passes for a career-high 184 yards.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Dolphins’ offensive line concerns got more serious Friday when coach Mike McDaniel said right tackle Austin Jackson (right ankle) will go on the short-term injured reserve list, meaning he’ll miss at least four games, and left tackle Terron Armstead is questionable …
