news. moving you forward towards a lead-free future. how one day we could have future

lead explosion. we are live in washington breaking down the remaining israeli held hostages. and then the new action people in martinez are taking over concerns about the release of potential toxins. this is "today in the bay." here we go. it's thursday morning. good morning to you all. i am marcus washington. i am laura garcia. let's check in with meteorologist, kari hall. >> it stays unsettled because of the system well to the north of us. we have a couple to the north and to the south. we are seeing a lot more of the rain moving just to the south as

we go into the day. we are going to have a couple waves of spotty showers by this afternoon. we are going to see mostly the north bay and then the rest of the bay area staying dry. as we go into the afternoon tomorrow, there will be the potential of more spotty showers in the forecast, but overall most of us will continue on with dry conditions. we will be mostly tracking the north bay. today we have slowing, a couple lanes down in doing the slab replacement, and this is pleasanton on the border with dublin there. highway 4 coming through the north bay. a smooth flow of traffic, and we

did have slowing on 280, and it's clearing up. we begin this morning with breaking news. an ambitious new plan from the white house to replacing all remaining lead pipelines within the american infrastructure. despite the decade-effort to replace all the lead pipelines, the white house says 10 million homes are still connected to water through the lead-based lines. the proposal also calls for boosting the requirements for water testing, and demands proof of progress in the replacement of lead piping. there's no so-called safe level to lead, and it can damage the brain and nervous systems. while you were sleeping, the latest group of israelis

hostages were released. hamas is claiming responsibility for a shooting in jerusalem that killed three people. hamas posted the claim on social media. >> good morning, laura. the biden administration says the cease-fires have delivered meaningful results including the release of nearly 100 hostages and the delivery of much-needed food and medical supplies to gaza. the truce between israel and hamas extended for a second time, allowing more hostages to be freed. >> from day one we have been

focused relentlessly on trying to secure the release of hostages from gaza and from hamas. >> the renewed cease-fire follows wednesday's release of hostages, including just the second u.s. citizen to be freed. >> i talked to their mother and father and they are very appreciative, and things are moving well. she will soon be home with her three children. >> back here in the u.s., there has been a rise in crimes. >> all of us must condemn anti-semitism with full-throat the clarity wherever we see it before we metastasize into something even worse. >> what happened on october 7th was an atrocity, but we ask israel and any military action

be sensitive to the collateral damage of innocent individuals. >> israel and hamas say they are ready to resume fighting. approximately 145 hostages are still being held by hamas. laura? >> we will see what will happen in the latest cease-fire. thank you very much. new concerns for an east bay refinery, and this time it's the martinez refinery that experienced flare ups last night. bob redell is live for us outside of the martinez refinery. any way you look at this, it's been a tough week for folks that live in those surrounding areas. talk to us about what happened with the latest flare-up.

>> reporter: good morning, marcus. a flare-up is when they have to burn off into the open sky, and not clear what, if anything, might have been released during that. the refinery posted this to its website, and i am quoting here, all appropriate agencies have been notified and we apologize for any inconvenience to our neighbors, and flares are part of the integrated safety system designed to safely manage combustible gases by burning them off efficiently and effectively. coincidently, two flare ups happened after two people filed lawsuits against the martinez --

>> there's a lot more information about what exactly is happening, and what kind of chemicals are being released and all that kind of thing. right now we essentially left in the dark and at the mercy of the refinery company as to when it will release information. >> reporter: we asked the refinery for comment on the lawsuit, and they said they could not comment on a pending litigation. there was another flare-up, and chevron has been asked to file a 72-hour report, which would be due today. chevron said monday's flare-up was a result of al power outage at its plant.

the bay area air quality management district said it was monitoring and did have inspectors on site at the time, and the county did not issue a public health advisory. >> no matter the reason, still concerning for a lot of folks that live in that area. bob, thank you for that. it's 5:08 right now. we're taking a live look at the golden gate bridge. traffic appears to be light, and that's mike's department, and we will get to him in a bit. let's get to the forecast and meteorologist, kari hall. it's 43 in dublin, and 56 in san francisco. definitely drier conditions this morning compared to yesterday. but we do still have a slight chance of a spotty sprinkle for this afternoon, and mainly in parts of the north bay. our temperatures reach into the low 60s for this afternoon, and

headed up for 62 in morgan hill as well as 62 in mountain view today, and 64 in oakland. we will talk more about the weekend as we are getting closer. that's coming up. mike has a look at what you can expect at the gas pump. >> yeah, from help from our friends to those reporting at gasbuddy.com. 3.95 in san josé, and then 4.39 4.39. there's a crash over at isabelle, and the speeds are now starting to recover. the brake lights are rippling

back, and then will start to clear. and then you are at 29 minutes at the bottom number for 580, and that could creep back up to 57. launching a new mission. ahead for you on "today in the bay," the program nasa is hoping will inspire young kids and their imagination. elon musks stuns a whole audience, the whole business world. we will tell you what he said -- or at least, most of what he said. the day has come. renaissance, a film by beyonce finally out today, and if you are

good thursday morning to you. the time is 5:13. let's get a look at our north bay forecast. it's 51 degrees, and it's another chilly morning. we make it up to 60 for a high today. not much of a range with between where we are starting and the afternoon. we will get sunshine. we will talk about that and where we could see rain, coming up. damp roadways, but not wet, and the bay bridge tollway looks

good. we will show you where there is slowing showing, coming up. there's a lot to get to. the stock market continues to rally. we are shaping up for the best month so far this year. we get key inflation numbers today, and those have been good. general motors says it will reduce spending on san francisco based cruise by hundreds of millions of dollars and also buying back stock. when a company buys back shares, those shares no longer exist, and that makes the shares you own more valuable. >> is somebody going to try and blackmail me with money. go [ bleep ] yourself. >> the old twitter stunning cnbc

host, andrew ross sorkin, and musk would say it again slower and with emphasis. apple, all kinds of companies suspended advertising on x after elon musk posted his support for an anti-semitic message. the company owes hundreds of millions to banks that may not get that back. not just x that suffers here. and no matter what you think of the cyber truck design, and musk called it the most important release the whole year. tesla has more than 1 million preorders at the car, and at that conference musk clearly

still runs x despite bringing in a ceo from nbc. some executives posts hate speech and then the x community is here to welcome you. we will continue to watch this. the bankers are watching this. the only source of money, and they are owed so much money, they must be losing their minds. >> scary situation. new this morning, nasa is launching dreams. it's a writing contest calling on kids to imagine their own nuclear powered space mission,

and they are dreaming up a space mission. you can dream far into the galaxies but you have to use 250 words or less. >> i think it's exciting for students of all ages to look at where we live in the solar system, and understand more about earth to get interested in math and science in the technology field, and one day also work at nasa like we do. >> very cool. this is one of the winners of last year's challenge. nasa hopes to receive thousands of entries this year, and there's a big prize involved. a winner in every grade will win a trip where they get to see the technologies. submissions are due by december

26th. if you missed beyonce's renaissance tour, or if you want to see it again, here is your chance. it's a film by beyonce is out today. that film playing at amc theaters, and if you plan to go there are rules you need to follow. remove any part of the outfit that blocks the view of others, and you cannot dance on the seats or in the aisles. i went to the concert, and i am expecting to go and see the movie, and this is my look at all the songs, you know, and spotify has one -- this is the

apple, and i don't have spotify, and beyonce stopped the list. >> wow, more than janet jackson? what is happening. >> we often have to tell you to get off the seat, you are standing on the seat. >> yeah, sit down, marcus. >> these are white chairs. don't get your crocks on them. >> would you wear your crocks to go and see it? >> i wouldn't, unless you bedazzle them out. no, no, leave them at your desk. >> those are from walking from the news room to your desk and back. we have cold temperatures this morning. you need more than crocks to get you started. we are in the low 40s in dublin. this is a little better than

what we have had to start out our mornings over the past few days. we look at our highs that are headed for the low 60s this afternoon. we are back to some of the temperatures we have seen recently. not much of a change tomorrow or saturday. still low to mid-60s in the forecast. no change in temperatures, but what about rain? we have such unsettled weather across the region as the storm systems move to the north and to the south. we are right in between right now. there will be some spotty showers approaching the north bay, but it's a weakening system, and for the most part we will not get to see all the bay area get into the rain. into the day on friday, still spotty showers for the coast and that parts of the north bay, but if you are in the east bay or south bay, you probably will not see any rain over the next several days, even into saturday we see more spotty showers off and on, but it misses most of us. we are only looking at a few 0.01 of an inch of rain, and

spotty sprinkles here and there, and no significant rain for a while. going into next week, the atmospheric river to our north, it will start to slowly sink to the south. by the middle of the week, we could be watching some rain but even that looks like it's weakening as it approaches the bay area. we need storms here, because not only are we lacking the rainfall but also looking snow in the sierra. we are looking at one to three inches of snow over the next several days. looking at our 7-day forecast, keeping the clouds and peeks of sunshine and light rain chances here and there, but mainly dry through the next several days. mike, you are tracking a few incidents in the east bay. >> yeah, westbound 80 coming through san pablo, and no slowing and the crash cleared out of the roadway and the chp incidents there. and no slowing at the toll

plaza, but now we see another blip for highway 37 and a few for 4. there's the start of the commute starting to show up. maybe not even tapping the brakes. i don't know. there's a build for westbound 580, but no drama. back to you. >> no drama. thanks, mike. next here on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> an airline sitting on 8 grand. grand. would you let the keepm t

good morning. a year ago susan near stanford said she treated herself and booked a business class flight on swiss air to italy. in awe she spent $8,753 with swiss, but susan needed to cancel and book later on, and she kept screen grabs where the agent said she could bank the value of her ticket and fly anywhere else she needed to fly. she went to rebook this summer, and the agent said she could not change her destination, contrary to the last chat. and then they told her she had

to fly in the six weeks or lose the value of her ticket. she contacted us, and we contacted swiss. swiss told us we seem to have given the customer different and incorrect information about her ticket conditions, which we very much regret. snap this qr code to fill out our consumer complaint form online. >> thanks, chris. the top stories we are following for you today, including a city trying to turn the page on a recent controversy. a unique gathering taking place later today in antioch. the message antioch's leader plans to give about the police

department. the pause between israel and hamas expected to expire, and we hamas expected to expire, and we will have

right now at 5:30, the push continues to further extend the cease-fire between israel and hamas with u.s. secretary of state, antony blinken, now in the mix. we are live this morning in san francisco with new reaction from

bay area supporters on both sides. one of the most peculiar debates of all-time set to take place tonight. our behind-the-scenes look at the newest mail processing center, and what to do to assure your gifts will arrival on time. this is "today in the bay." got to make sure they get to the door. >> yes, please. it's 5:30 right now. i am laura garcia. >> i am marcus washington. the delivery that will surely come your way, meteorologist, kari hall, with your forecast. >> we are in the 20s and 30s, so it's not as cold as we start out this morning, and mostly in the low 40s as we get a look at some of the numbers in the inland east bay as well as the north bay. right now we are at 56 in san mateo. one of the warmer spots. in san josé it's 47 degrees.

look at the planner in berkeley today, before you step out the door here we are in the 40s, and in the afternoon it's 60. notice the cloud cover today. we will continue to see more clouds, but not many of us will see rain. we will talk more about that coming up. mike is going to talk about the toll plaza. >> yeah, as we look at the close-up shot for you, you do see a good volume starting to build on schedule at 5:30 exactly. we saw slowing towards treasure island, and highway 37 at the top, and highway 4 on the right. typical spots for the build. very light around the bay. no major issues. i have a treat from contra costa county for you for bringing that, coming up. and here's a live look into gaza from the israeli border. the truce will expire at the end of the day, but this truce is

doing little to quiet the hostilities. >> hamas is claiming responsible for an attack at a jerusalem bus stop that killed three people this morning. and at the same time antony blinken is there trying to extend the truce. >> and today in the bay's ginger conejero saab joins us live from san josé this morning. while one family may be thrilled, others are still, no doubt, on edge. >> reporter: good morning, marcus and laura. absolutely still on edge here in the bay area. many from the jewish community, and many say they are anxiously awaiting for all of the hostages to be released. >> we want to see all of them released immediately. yes, it's certainly positive to see some coming out, but the emotional trauma that is being

inflicted not only on the families but the entire jewish people is ongoing, and made worse by the constant question, will some come out today? >> an american was among those released, and her sister-in-law lived in berkeley, and this video shows the moment of her release. her husband is still in captivity. the israeli government received a list of women and children who will be released today. last night in santa rosa, seven sonoma county synagogues and close to 200 people came together for a prayer vigil calling for every hostage to be freed. there are more than 150 hostages in captivity, including nine children and eight americans. overnight 21 aid trucks arrived in gaza city and the northern

part of the strip that were carrying food, water, baby formula and blankets, real essentials, and antony blinken said immediate and increased humanitarian aid is needed in the region. we will continue to watch the developments on this, marcus and laura, and bring you the latest. >> thank you very much. and now hamas sent out a news release declaring a global protest for this weekend, so it could be very active across the globe. >> i bet it will be. we will continue to follow that, and in the meantime governor newsom is debating ron desantis on fox news. >> is it pride? pride might be awkward in florida. these two men are not running against each other. newsom is not running for anything at all, at least not yet, but the debate was his idea. desantis could use the attention as he is falling behind in his

run for president. not hard to imagine the day when newsom runs for president, and if trump wins this time, maybe it's a preview, newsom versus desantis. biden could change his mind about the election and newsom could step in, and it's unlikely. the two governors scoring points at home by fussing at each other. >> i want to get this right, you called him a small and pathetic man and asked, quote, kidnapping charges, is that what you believe, governor newsom, florida kidnapped migrants and brought them to california. >> i think i am being generous with small and pathetic. he's desperate for attention. >> each governor brings some

strengthens and weaknesses to the debate. let's start with desantis. he doesn't have to defend anybody but himself. as a republican, he can attack biden, but he is running against trump in the primary, so he can deflect any criticism of trump. desantis struggles with connecting with voters. the more they get to know him, the less they like him. and his position on abortion is counter to most of those who support abortion rights. >> abortion after six weeks will be punishable by up to five years in prison, even though many women don't know they are pregnant at six weeks. that's not freedom. it's ron desantis' florida. >> and desantis has another weakness. he has a lot to lose and a lot to gain.

he needs more supporters, and gavin newsom has nothing to lose. he's not running for anything. his position on abortion matches the majority of american voters, and his disadvantage is he will have to defend biden, and major retailers moving out and our malls, these are many images people think of when they think of california. it will be on fox news. it starts at 6:00. >> i am sure a lot of people will be watching to see what happens. thanks, scott. a judge is expected to set a trial date for the man accused in the murder of a tech executive in april. you may remember this man. he is being held without bail.

the two knew each other and were seen together minutes before the attack and apparently were in a heated argument surrounding mow men tea's sister. it has been a rough year for the antioch police department. tonight the mayor is joining religious leaders for what is build as a healing. and then the california school board education conference and trade show welcomes 4,000 participants, and that includes more than 100 workshops focussing on developing new efforts to strengthen public schools, and that includes providing equal access to high quality education, and community engagement. it kicks off at 9:00 this morning and runs through the end

of the weekend at moscone center. it's 5:39 on your thursday morning. christmas in the park in downtown san josé all lit up and ready to go. are you going to put up decorations over the weekend? better check the forecast. >> yeah, i got my tree up and got the penguin out in the front yard, so everything is all good. you might want to head out and check out some of the beautiful displays. we have the enchantment light maze happening, and our temperatures will drop in the mid-50s with a mix of sun and cloud. we also have the warriors game tonight, and you will see the tree out in front of the chase center. it will be in the mid-50s and windy in san francisco, so wear the layers. we have also the let's go sf that will be lighting up tomorrow, and it's the holiday light protection we have, and it's a cool sight. you want to wear layers. if you are going out to sonoma valley, the temperatures headed

for the low 60s and overnight lows in the 40s. over all we are going to see a mix of sun and clouds. if your weekend plans take you to l.a., you will enjoy sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures. mid to upper 60s for highs throughout the weekend. laura and marcus? >> thank you, kari. and analyzing risking driving behaviors. >> reporter: if you are expecting a package, chances are it's coming through this machine in palo alto which sorts 10,000 during the holiday season. we will talk about how the u.s. postal service is delivering for you now and into the future. you're wating "today in the ch

i know the importance of taking care of myself. how are you doing between practices? i feel pretty good. surrounding myself with a great team. de'aaron we're going to take a quick look at your knee with ultrasound. everything is looking great. but not just for me. for them. it's great to see you again man. thanks jb. for all that is me, for all that is you, kaiser permanente. diabetes can serve up a lot of questions, like, "what is your glucose?" and "can you have more carbs?" before you decide... with the freestyle libre 2 system know your glucose level and where it's headed. no fingersticks needed. manage your diabetes with more confidence. and lower your a1c. the number one doctor prescribed cgm. freestyle libre 2. try it for free at freestylelibre.us

you. it's 5:43. let's head over to pittsburg with a look at this morning. we have a calm wind and clear sky, and we will see temperatures gradually making it into the low 60s for today as we get a mix of sun and clouds across the bay area. we also will be watching out for some spotty rain. i will have more on that in the forecast, coming up. and then folks traveling south on 680 and splitting off towards 24, and walnut creek moves smoothly there, but there's slowing on vasco.

we are at 24 minutes as you approach 580 out of contra costa county into alameda county. with his political future hanging in the balance, new york representative george santos plans to address the media later this morning. house lawmakers plan to hold their expulsion vote tomorrow. santos is facing charges but not yet facing trial. there's evidence he improperly used campaign funds for personal benefits. aaa is just out with new data on the safety of our roadways. it finds more than half of drivers admit to potential risky behavior behind the wheel, and speed something the most common behavior, but one-third drivers admit to driving distracted or

aggressively. the data is alarming. >> the aaa survey is self reported data. these are behaviors people were not willing to admit to a friend or neighbor but will admit in the anonymous survey. it's potentially life-altering behaviors. >> it's reported that nearly 20,000 traffic related deaths during the first half of this year alone. moving you forward on the rush to deliver this holiday season, and this is because everybody really wants their packages to arrive on time. >> exactly. the u.s. postal service is getting ready not just for the regular season during the holidays, but trying to modernize for the future. kris sanchez joins us live inside the brand-new sorting and delivery center in palo alto. this is the first of its kind in the nation, i understand. >> reporter: right, eventually there will be 400 facilities like this one, but here in the

bay area we got one of the first 40, and it means a lot of efficiency on a regular day, 5,000 packages will be sorted and processed at the facility. during a holiday peak season, 10,000 packages a day, and they are not all of marcus's either. talk about this modernization. it's exciting to see. >> reporter: yeah, this is the only center in california, the second in california, period. what we have done is really modernized and enhanced the facility. we have increased the efficiency for our employees with new amenities, and we have expanded our services for customers. it's like a one stop shop post office for the future. >> reporter: we will talk about the holiday and then the sorting. you are getting ready for the holidays, you hired more people, 10,000 employees for the holiday

season, and 348 package sorting finances, and the capacity is 70 million packages, letters and handwritten cards. >> yeah, we are ready for the season and we are built for this, and a machine like this can process 10,000 packages during the holiday season, and we also have enhanced services for informed delivery, and you can click and get service from your home. we are ready for the holidays. >> reporter: this is a change in the headlines that we have been seeing over the last couple of years. a couple years back the usps really coming under fire, but this is modernizing just not only for the holidays but for the future. >> yeah, we are looking to modernize and streamline for everybody, and you can get a

package delivered the same day. >> reporter: part of the delivering for america plan is making it easier for customers to use usps rather than the other alternatives? >> yeah, in the future this facility will have smart lockers so you can ship and pick up packages from that locker. it's all turn-key and one-stop-shopping for our customers. >> reporter: you are still the agency that delivers the most packages, right? >> absolutely. >> reporter: excuse me. i was talking too fast. talk about some of the shipping deadlines this weekend? excuse me. >> those are coming up quick, so if you want to get that gift to your loved one, get it in before december 20th for priority mail. >> reporter: we will put those shipping deadlines, and i am going to take a sip of water,

and those dates will be on social. your packages will be handled super efficient see. >> like cough drops. take care, kris. california came out strong with restaurants. many spots from the bay area and so cal made that list. >> out of the 50 places on that list, 13 came from right here in california. here are the top places in the bay area. the first is auro which is a one michelin starred napa restaurant. and then burdell in oakland, and then dalida -- is that how you say that one? >> dalida -- on the screen it says dalida, and that features east mediterranean food.

and then kiln, in san francisco, american-style food. and then you have a carmel by the sea, and it features fresh seafood from monterey bay. >> i think we should just work on the names. let's go to -- >> yeah. >> kiln -- >> lets just go eat! we are starting out this morning with chilly temperatures. we are feeling some of the cool air across the bay area that continues to start out our mornings, but take a look where we are headed for today. of afternoon highs in the low 60s. 62 in morgan hill and 62 in los gatos. we have seen the low 60s for the past few days, and not much of a change today.

temperatures in the upper 50s for daly city, and 60s for redwood 60. low 60s for much of the north bay. let's talk about rain because that has been the hit or miss thing here. we have had quite a few clouds across the region. the first system is pushing to the south. there's another one pushing from the north. the one from the north could bring spotty showers. we are at 4:00 and we are starting to see light rain moving into parts of the north bay, and not everybody will see that. we go into tomorrow afternoon with another round of north bay light showers. that could move into san francisco and down the coastline. a lot of the inland areas will once again miss out on the rain chances and pretty much the same on saturday as well. parts of the bay area will see off and on wet weather, and we are looking at the potential of a few 0.01 of an inch of rain.

next week, here we are with another atmospheric river across the pacific northwest. it has been there but we have only seen the outer fridges of possible rain on the lower end of the atmospheric river. we need snow, so as we look at tahoe, it will be dry this weekend. it only shows for the next several days, there's only one to three inches of snow we could get. inland, a slight chance of showers and highs in the low 60s. mike, are the metering lights on? >> yeah, they were active earlier because of the slowing we saw mid span, but we have a slower build. it's not a big problem. 5:28 is when the lights were on. east shore freeway shows a little slowing, and out of

richmond into berkeley there's slowing. that could have been a burst of slowing. and then a mild build on highway 4, and that's contra costa into walnut creek. we do note that there's a fire over here, 680, and i think it's a roadside fire but we will check that out and let you know if it's anything you need to worry about. it took about ten minutes here on 101, so lighter volume overall. back to you. >> thank you. happening now, bart is working to track down a man they say caused major delay. the tube was shutdown, which meant trains, none of them, running between san francisco and the east bay. sky ranger caught a large police presence and many people stuck

on the platform in oakland. all service was restored around 6:30 last night. anybody that knows who that man is, you are asked to call bart police. worst than coal. up next, new research and the impact on our world's climate goals. ahead at 6:00, putting a stop to crowding and traffic congestion at lake tahoe. the legal action residents are the legal action residents are taking there at a

ship lng overseas. people in the area are opposing that new project after a new study found that lng creates a bigger carbon footprint than coal. >> it's impact will be felt throughout the world. i am doing this as a mom and grandmother, and that's who i am fighting for. we have to save this earth. we only get one. >> venture global released a statement pointing out the advantages of natural gas replacing coal and how it could offset enough coal to reduce global emissions approximately 140 million tons per year. the federal energy regulators could decide the project's fate at another meeting on december 19th. the department of energy did not respond to our request for comment. for stories like these, visit our website, nbcbayarea.com, on our climate in crisis page.
