resignation in the administration of oakland's mayor sheng thao is following the fbi search for a home. all of this amid significant changes in a proposed budget for the city. also, it's crunch time for the supreme court. the key rulings expected in a matter of hours and the impact they'll have. plus, today marks 30 days into the paris olympics. all morning long, we will introduce you to athletes gearing up for the games. this is today in the bay good wednesday morning. i'm marcus washington and i'm ginger conejero saab laura garcia is off this morning. now we will get a look at the forecast with kari in just a moment. but first we want to check in with mike. mike, you've got more on that bart line. yeah. the not a great start to the bart system. we have an alert for folks that it will mean possibly a 20 minute delay for folks who would intend to use that red line. the red line is suspended just like basically over the weekend, but a different reason as far as i

can tell. emergency track work between the macarthur and 19th street station results in the red line stopping, but you can use the yellow and the orange lines in combination. you'll transfer over at the macarthur station. those who do take that for the morning commute know the option. there's also ac transit and county connection through the area. it's between macarthur and the 19th stations right over here near the berkeley curve. the rest of the bart system will work, but again, there will be delays because that red line is no longer working. we also have and that's until further notice. we also have two crashes along the east shore freeway. so i'll talk about both those, all the activity in that portion of the east bay. but kari, there's a little bit of wind registering on the delta top right corner. the rest of the bay seems calmer than yesterday. yeah, we're starting out with lower humidity and also some cooler temperatures. we're back to the 50s instead of the 60s where we started yesterday. at this time, it's right there at 59 degrees in san jose. we have a breezy wind coming through dublin right now, and we are looking at temperatures in the mid 60s for

san francisco and it won't be as warm as it was yesterday. i know that humidity made it feel a lot hotter. we're up to 81 today in livermore and seeing temperatures in much of the north bay in the upper 70s and low 80s. so we'll talk about more changes ahead in our microclimate forecast. that's coming up in a few minutes. all right. thank you. well okay. new for you overnight. an apparent shooting is under investigation over in oakland. it happened around 915 last night near 73rd and macarthur, our photographer on the scene says one man was shot, but police have not yet confirmed that shooting so far a motive is not clear and there is no information on any arrests at this time. and of course, crime is already a big problem over in oakland and fighting could soon become more difficult. the city of oakland is now considering millions of dollars in cuts today in the bay's bob redell joins us live. and bob, this can really have a major impact on public safety. this could these

proposed cuts, these brand new proposed cuts, could impose a hiring freeze on the oakland, excuse me? police department. and this is a police department. that's already operating on reduced staff and needs more officers on the street. the president of the oakland police officers association fears that this budget cut could have a significant impact on the level of service and safety. opd could then provide. yesterday, oakland mayor sheng thao proposed $63 million in new cuts to balance the city's budget. a mayor tao announced this resolution to her previous budget proposal, and she had to do this to meet a mandatory june 30th deadline. and also, she's saying this in case the city isn't able to sell its share of the college property in time, which the mayor said that sale would balance the budget. now, the city council will meet today and friday to discuss a list of potential cuts, including, as i mentioned, freezing open police department positions, also fire

positions and possibly browning out for fire engine companies. here's the response from the oakland naacp, which has already called on mayor chao to resign after the fbi raided her home last week. without the police, without the law, it's even going to be worse. lawlessness now, in a newsletter yesterday, the mayor released, she wrote this quote i will remain focused on supporting the city council this week as they vote to pass a balanced budget. we will complete the transaction for the sale of the coliseum property to the african american sports entertainment group, and we will continue to address crime head on now. oakland police now says 14 people were shot last wednesday during a juneteenth celebration near lake merritt. the initial report was 15. opd says that 15 person was actually shot elsewhere in the city. police have not yet arrested anyone in connection with the

mass shooting near the lake. the next morning. so now we're talking about last thursday morning. that's when the fbi raided the mayor's home and three other locations in oakland . she has not been charged with a crime. and in a press conference monday, the mayor said she was adamant in the fact that she says she's innocent and has done nothing wrong. the next day, the attorney she recently had hired resigned and yesterday the mayor's communication director abruptly resigned. reporting live, bob redell today in the bay. seems like our office can't catch a break right now. something new every day. all right, bob, thank you so much for that. now, today, we are awaiting several key rulings from the supreme court. and as the nation anticipates the ruling on its second abortion case in recent months, abortion rights advocates are sounding the alarm that access to reproductive health care is being threatened, even more. in the two years since the dobbs case was overturned or overturned. roe v wade. now, since that ruling, 14 states

have enacted near total abortion restrictions and seven states have enacted bans on abortion. at 6 to 18 weeks of gestation, researchers say limiting access to reproductive health care disproportionately impacts marginalized communities and communities of color. they acutely harm women with disabilities. there's a recent analysis from the national partnership for women and families that show that more than 3 million disabled women of reproductive age live in 26 states that have banned or are likely to ban abortions. since dobbs, this accounts for more than half of all of the disabled women in the united states. now, doctor joseph there serves as the vice president for policy at the robert wood johnson foundation. she adds, people who are most directly affected by inequities are in the best position to drive any change needed. now on to decision 2024 and the race for the white house

we could learn as soon as this week who former president donald trump's running mate will be. now, four sources familiar with the discussion telling nbc news the announcement could move up ahead of tomorrow's closely watched debate. for more on this, we want to turn to today in the base alice barr. she's live in washington for us this morning. alice, a lot going on here, a lot going on. marcus and ginger a lot to watch for. and sources are cautioning that the timing is not set yet for this trump vp announcement. so we could still be waiting until next month. the sources do say that what the campaign wants is someone who can be the future of the republican party without overshadowing the former president, with both president biden and former president trump looking to break through in tomorrow night's debate, four sources tell nbc news. the trump campaign is thinking of making a splash by announcing his pick for running mate as soon as this week, the former president not tipping his hand yet in an interview on newsmax. we'll make a decision fairly soon and i

think people will be very happy with this decision. the vice presidential contenders getting the most buzz are senators marco rubio and jd vance, and north dakota governor doug burgum. looking forward to the debate for sure, and will be in atlanta. but all three previously ran against mr. trump . what we are dealing with here, my friends, is a con artist. would you ever do business with donald trump, i don't think so. or spoke out against him. i'm a never trump guy before becoming his loyal allies, the former president had planned to announce his choice around next month's republican national convention, but recently said he'd already made up his mind. and as both candidates prepare for the debate, the trump team is both slamming president biden over his age and readiness and managing expectations. he is also a career politician. the biden team hoping for a clear contrast, seeing a president in joe biden, who is fighting relentlessly for the american

people to get things done for them. and across from that, they'll see donald trump, who's increasingly unhinged both candidates with a lot to prove on a consequential night. and three sources familiar with the biden team's debate preparations say that he's prepping to try to goad mr. trump into an outburst to reveal what they say is the true trump a trump campaign spokesperson says the former president is going to be tough, but also disciplined and on message. while up on that stage, ginger and marcus, yeah, all eyes glued to see who he will choose for his running mate. all right. thank you, alice. and don't forget, you can watch the debate right here on nbc bay area tomorrow at 6 p.m. live from atlanta. well, you said it there, marcus. all eyes glued as well. 30 days away to the olympics. our countdown to the paris olympics is on. it's just 30 days away, and athletes from all over the bay area will be showing up in a big way, especially in the water. yeah

we're talking about more than a dozen rowers who train at the rogers rowing center over in oakland will be competing in paris. ben davidson and sean zoek soucek will be going to the paris olympics, going for gold in the men's double school scull. now they punch their ticket to paris by winning the world rowing final. olympic quarter qualifier last month in switzerland, and it will be the first olympics for kozak. kozak, while davidson just missed winning the medal in tokyo. it was a big deal, i think something i've wanted to do since i started rowing in high school. so to actually do it and see myself there is pretty cool. it means a lot to me to be able to be able to go back a second time. i'd say the biggest thing is, is to be able to bring my family with me is a big thing. for me, it was. this has been a journey we've been on together now since. since i started instead of 2010. it was a great experience to race in tokyo, but tough to not have my family there. so i'm really excited to be able to bring them with me

this time. it's always cool to see how they just glide there. so look. the rowing events get underway on july 27th. that's one day after the opening ceremony in paris. and of course, nbc bay area is your home for the olympics. you can watch the opening ceremony right here. it's all going to begin for you july 26th, and you can get more of our local athletes heading into paris. just go to nbcbayarea.com slash olympics. all right. well, no olympics here in the bay area, but we've got a lot of things going on with the weather. yeah. and i think people are, you know, getting ready some of those athletes may be here in the bay area getting ready, as well as regular folks just heading off to work this morning as we take a live look outside in san francisco, low clouds and to fog start out this morning. and we are going to see those temperatures in san francisco in the low 50s. as we go throughout the morning and into the day. it's going to be clearing up as our temperatures head for the mid 60s. 81 in martinez and 77 in dublin. all of these numbers lower than yesterday. so it will

be cooler and it won't be as humid. mike, you have more info on that bart alert? yeah, we got a little more info. appears that overnight track work results in some track needing to be replaced again. that's between the macarthur and 19th street stations. no stations are closed, we're told. we're assured that that will add a little extra time, because you'll have to shift over, perhaps to another platform. watch the stations between macarthur and 19th. you will have to switch some of the tracks and platforms as needed, so watch for that. meanwhile, you can still take bart and you can alternate between the yellow and the orange lines instead of that red line, which still has no service. this morning. that's in between this area. still watching a crash here near san pablo as well. i'll give you that coming up back to you. all right. thanks, mike. i is now entering the toy industry ahead on today in the bay. the new partnership, one company is now making with a distributor. and the concerns many have, plus a number of economists warning this morning about the future of america. keep it here. you're watching today in the bay in 30

crash blocking two lanes of the upper east shore freeway westbound 80 at san pablo dam road. there is a crash. it's got some more slowing quick build as we come off the carquinez bridge and out of pinole. we are watching that delay in the bart system as well. i actually might have some good news regarding the red line coming up. well, good morning. very happy wednesday to you. big news for electric car maker rivian. volkswagen says it will invest as much as $5 billion in the american carmaker. in rivian stock was up big on the news on tuesday. we were looking at the company's financials after the last quarterly report. rivian loses about 30 to $40,000 for every car it makes. so this gives rivian a real lifeline. nvidia stock turned around on tuesday as well. oh, we've got two rivian's here. interesting. all right well nvidia erasing all of monday's gains and pushing the nasdaq higher realtors tell cnbc they're predicting a slow summer housing market. mortgage rates still

high. mortgage applications down about 13% from this time last year. moxian a company in the north bay that makes an alternative to portable diesel generators, laying off 101 workers. they filed a warn notice with the state. they had just moved into the old ford plant in richmond. a group of 16 nobel winning economists, including joseph stiglitz and robert shiller, have signed a letter warning inflation will run out of control if donald trump is elected and goes through with his economic plans. trump says he'll enforce a tariff on each and every product made in china, which is what most things americans buy outside of food are from china. now, the people on the list, largely backers of biden in the past, though nonpartisan groups like oxford economics have also made that same warning about trump's plans to be fair. inflation fell under trump, rose under biden, though the circumstances during a pandemic after a pandemic wildly

different. i've showed you this video a couple of times. it's all i though. you type in, hey, show me a woman crossing the street in tokyo in the rain, and the i called sora cranks out this well, toys r us has used that same technology to make the world's first ai built advertisement. take a look. did you ever wonder how toys r us and geoffrey the giraffe came to be? the son of a bike shop owner , charles lazarus had a vision that would go on to change toy stores forever. at least the video at a festival in france. they say they're not sure if they're going to use it for an actual tv ad, but that's entirely everything you see there is just from ai, which obviously alarms people who make movies and tv. i don't know what you do about it, you know, if you can do it cheaper, not necessarily better. but remember , advertisements aren't looking for better, right? right? if you can do it cheaper thinking, it's

cool looking, but i'm like, oh, the jobs of an actor or the photographer all this. absolutely. all those things, all of that. just that whole line. well. all right. good stuff. scott as always, i'm just thinking about that toys r us ad now. all right. let's get a look at that forecast for us today. kari. so we got some rain yesterday. i saw some sprinkles this morning coming in too. yeah. so now all of that is pushing out and we're seeing all of that very humid and muggy air moving away from the bay area. so eventually our humidity is going to drop as we go into the afternoon. we're starting out in san jose with temperatures in the upper 50s. we'll be at 69 degrees at 10:00, and at lunchtime it's 74 degrees going into the afternoon with temperatures in the upper 70s and in some spots it may briefly hit 80 degrees. but this is definitely cooler compared to what we've seen lately, and it's going to be nice to have that wind picking up the low humidity and that sunshine across the bay area. we're up to 73 in hayward

today, 81 in martinez. much of the north bay will be in the upper 70s and low 80s in santa rosa today, 85 degrees and 64, in san francisco. going into the day tomorrow, we're looking at more of the same temperatures, maybe just changing a degree or two here and there. on friday. it starts to warm up and we are getting ready for a slightly hotter weekend. take a look at livermore, where we are going to see temperatures here in the upper 80s low 90s. but look at next week. it is going to get really hot. and we're talking about triple digits for monday through wednesday. and then only coming down slightly the rest of the week. so we're bracing for some hotter temperatures ahead. we're just going to enjoy the rest of this weekend, the weekend, while we have some very seasonable temperatures and also still that cool place to go cool off along the coastline in san francisco, where we stay in the 60s at least through sunday. mike, you got more details on the bart alert? yeah, i think

this is good. it sounds like the vehicle that was doing work on the tracks actually got derailed from the tracks, so they just need to get it back on the track so they can clear it from the tracks before the red line can reopen. so we're waiting for updates on bart. i don't think it will be too long. it won't be all morning, but this actually might last longer. this crash, west 80 san pablo dam road still blocks your two left lanes as you're coming down out of pinole and the commute direction. we're watching for that, but still not a big build through contra costa county or for the rest of the bay. so things south of there are moving well back to you. thanks a lot, mike. 521 right now, next year on today in the bay, nbc bay area responds. some athletes will literally sail to bronze, silver or gold in france . but how do their boats get to europe? i'm chris chmura with another backstage look at unusual olympic cargo. next. local weather on nbc bay area is sponsored by provident credit union. make life easy with provident credit union, you can invest on your own terms and

. and now guess what? it's byob. good morning. yes, byob as in bring your own boat team usa is sending 13 sailors to compete along marsailles coast in the south of france. no, these aquatic athletes don't just rent a vessel on the spot, they bring their own boat. you would be surprised the number of people that ask me if the sailors sail their boats to events, they're not that kind of boats. you cannot take a one person dinghy onto the open ocean. so we ship them around the world, usually in cargo containers. the boats ship on cargo ships. we learned that from kate drummey, who oversees logistics for us sailing. she explained how a worldwide boat shipping operation starts years in advance, anchored in strategy. unlike for, say, gymnastics, where a balance beam is the same wherever you are in the whole world sailing, the events are really dependent on the local

conditions. so the more time you can spend learning the wind patterns and the current patterns, the more advantage you have. so we have been training out of marseille for the last three years, since the tokyo olympics. three bay area sailors are competing in france. sailing starts early july 28th, just two days after the opening ceremony. nbc plans live sailing coverage on peacock. back to you. well, i guess we're starting early two days. they've been there for the last two, three years. their countdown is different. all right, well, next top stories. we're following today, including lifting a ban. the all new major changes coming for ncaa athletes . and i'm kris sanchez in san jose. and we could see more housing developments like this one going up not just in santa clara county, but all around the bay area. if a regional bond goes before the voters, i'll give you all the details of what your leaders are doing and what

city moves forward with a new ordinance cracking down on sideshows and its spectators. the penalties they'll now face this is today in the bay and good wednesday morning. we're almost there. i'm ginger conejero saab. laura garcia is off, and i'm marcus washington. we'll get to those headlines in just a moment. but first, let's take a live look in paris. bonjour paris. today is officially 30 days away from the olympics opening ceremony, and the city of love is about to be filled with world's greatest athletes. and some of the sports categories as well. now ahead, we're going to break down all the things and the excitement that is building there across the pond. and look at those beautiful skies across the pond. and then some those beautiful skies in paris are going to greet those athletes. i don't know about those guys. how where we are here. yeah. as of right now, a lot of us can't see the sky. we've had some clouds rolling in, but we are headed

back to the sunshine for later today as we take a look in san jose, temperatures go from low 60s at 8:00 to a noontime temperature of 74 and reaching into the upper 70s for today, much cooler than yesterday. in the past couple of days and in the lower humidity. and it's going to feel so much better. it is a windy start to the day and we're going to see our temperatures like this continue for a couple of days, with highs in the mid to upper 80s for the inland valleys, while along the coast we're in the low 60s, so definitely a wide range in our microclimates. mike, you're still tracking the tracks. yeah yeah yeah actually, yeah. we talked about the red line. unfortunately i'm flip flopping here getting the updates from bart, though we may have the orange line as your alternate to the red line actually all day, but the situation may remain the same. there's some delays through the area because you'll have to switch platforms, switch tracks there. orange line will run longer trains because there is no red line service. there's an issue with an overnight maintenance vehicle and maybe

some track issues as well. and so that's going on between macarthur and 19th. that will be disrupting your area of ride through contra costa county. and we're looking over here. this also will disrupt your drive west 80 still has two lanes blocked. there is an injury reported as a crash at san pablo dam road. not a lot of additional early slowing. 37 highway four and the rest of the bay looking standard. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. well, making it in the bay could get a big boost today. this is as regional plan to address affordable housing is up for a vote. the metropolitan transportation commission has a plan to create 90,000 units of housing around the bay area today in the bay's kris sanchez joining us from san jose this morning. and kris, you know, this all comes with quite the price tag. no surprise. all right. hold on to your seat marcus. we are talking about a $20 billion bond that could create housing for so many people. but that is a really big price tag. although this is to be distributed among the nine

bay area counties, all bay area mayors have been advocating for this bond measure, hoping to put it before voters in november, asking them for a new tax on businesses and homes in order to fund all of this housing. now, the metropolitan transportation committee or commission, the mtc is the regional agency putting this proposal together. and although the push is for affordable housing already, san jose mayor matt mahan says that if it passes some of san jose's slice of the pie would be dedicated to temporary shelter for the unhoused. a housing nonprofit says that the regional approach it's good so long as the focus is on three areas at once interim housing to get people off the streets, increasing permanent housing and also preventing homelessness in the first place by providing short term emergency financial help to at risk households. it may seem like we've spent a lot of money on it already, but we've been digging this hole for a long time, and if we want to

dig our way out of it, we need to put some real muscle behind it. now, she says that their agency has come up with a plan that could reduce homelessness by 75% over the next couple of years. we'll have to see if they get the money for that. the mtc will take that vote today on whether or not you and i will get to vote on this measure in november in san jose. kris sanchez today in the bay. yeah, that's a lot of money, but a lot of housing. housing is needed here. all right. thank you chris. let's take a live look now in san jose where smoke is clearing after several fires. the man who was allegedly responsible for those fires now behind bars. one of those fires started along berryessa road around nine yesterday morning. then a few hours later, three larger ones near watson park and highway 101. now, police say an officer found the suspect as he was trying to light another

fire. he was then taken into custody. community members say the fires and the smoke put homes and schools at risk. for someone to do that, it's just it's wrong. it's like, this is a this is our community. we take care of it. investigators are now looking into which fires he could be connected to. there have been at least seven fires around the south bay in the last nine days. well, new details in east bay city council is moving forward with an ordinance prohibiting organizing and advertising sideshows. like many cities across the bay area antioch has seen its fair share of those illegal sideshow activity, including this one. this is a chaotic scene from back in january. now, after the vote, the mayor said, even sharing a social media post about a sideshow could get you in trouble. but legal analysts say that these type of ordinance could face some legal challenges , specifically when it comes to pushing spectators. the big question will be can the city of antioch give someone a citation

that could subject them to six months in jail, merely for watching a sideshow? it's not some random expedition where the police show up and say, hey, everybody, come on on this. you know, come in the old police van and we're going to take you away. we still have the burden. to demonstrate that you've broken the law. now, the mayor says those in violation of the ordinance can be arrested, spend time in jail, and be fined up to $1,000. a second reading for that ordinance will take place in july. now to a follow up. we've been closely monitoring in san francisco. that's the possibility of school closures. san francisco unified is facing that reality, but the community is now pushing back. at last night's school board meeting, the district gave more clarity on the closures. it cited declining enrollment as the main reason some schools may close, and it's calling its plan the resource alignment initiative. students parents and others say there must be another way. there are a lot of costs involved in

closing schools, and they are not the money maker that many people say they are. it would be truly heartbreaking to lose a community that i have met at my school, and to have to start all over again. you're closing the door on all these beautiful children, livelihood and their life. the school board is creating criteria for determining which schools are most viable, and the weight each criteria should have. they'll consider equity, academic performance, and each school's culture and climate. and the students socio emotional development. now, schools will be graded on how well they use the resources that they get. how many families choose to send their school, their children there, and how satisfied teachers are. a third party will then make its recommendations on which schools could close by mid-december or mid-september. i should say the vote on that will come in december 5th 38 for you this morning and new for you. a new day for college football players. ncaa division one

schools are taking cannabis off of its banned substances list. yeah, that recommendation made yesterday by the division one council. so the panel also agreed to discontinue penalties currently being served to those athletes who have previously tested positive. the council says that it's shifting its focus to health and well-being rather than punishment. the larger ncaa, already in the process of making similar changes. well, paris 2024 is just 30 days away and france is finalizing last minute preparations from beach volleyball and that stadium under the eiffel tower to the famed place de la concorde, where olympic breakdancing will premiere. now we're keeping our eyes on all the bay area athletes looking to represent team usa. one of them, khoi young. he's hoping to make his first olympic games. the stanford junior started gymnastics back in 2008, in his hometown in maryland. he is now an ncaa champion and member of

the u.s. national team. his favorite event? pommel horse. now we'll be watching khoi as he competes this week at the u.s. gymnastics olympic team trials. go khoi! now we here at nbc bay area and the today show are getting ready for the summer games. keir simmons and mike tirico will be on the today show this morning to show off iconic spots that are transforming into olympic arenas in paris. now you can watch all of that coming up at seven right after today in the bay. yeah, khoi is really good. i don't know if you've seen him or not. he is definitely an intricate part of the team usa men's team. go, khoi. go, khoi. go go. and stanford's gymnast team, the mels are their champions. back to back. i mean, they have all these rings. i saw him in one of the games and they had, like, all the rings. i'm like, okay, you guys are really good. you're kind of blinging my eyes out. they got the bling. hopefully they bring back some gold too. or at least the medal. well, maybe we'll need some sunglasses

to see their rings and some sunglasses. possibly to check out the weather today. kerry, what do we have? it all depends on where you are. because it's been so foggy in san francisco this morning, and we're going to see that fog linger for a lot longer, keeping those temperatures cooler. and for the inland areas it will clear out, but will definitely be drier, lower humidity coming in seasonable temperatures, but definitely our microclimates in full effect as there will be temperatures ranging from low 60s near the coast to some upper 80s for the valleys. but at least we're not for now. talking about 90s or triple digits across the bay area. it's going to be nice for much of the bay area, and then looking at tomorrow's temperatures, holding steady with some upper 70s for san jose. so we'll talk more about changes ahead. coming up, mike, you were hearing about one bart line that may be out for the day. yeah, the red line, the one that's been having the issue even though they might be able to get the maintenance truck back on the tracks and out of the area, they probably have to do some repair and more

inspection. whatever the case, we're told by bart that they may just stay with that orange line as a replacement service through the area. similar area along the east shore freeway between macarthur and 19th. all day. they'll be running longer. orange. orange train line. orange line trains, from what i understand. watch those signs. you might have to switch platforms when you're in the area again between macarthur and 19th street. so allow some extra time for the adjustment and some possible delays as they change and switch over some trains. we are looking at some slower drive on the freeway as well. the continued build from pinole down to san pablo dam road still reports of two left lanes blocked by an earlier injury crash. no update on that. we have the bill for 37 and highway four. those look standard and the rest of contra costa county does as well. now getting into the city, the bart line may add some delays, so plan on that if you're heading to tonight's game over at oracle or at oracle park, and keep that in mind, because you'll also have more traffic and perhaps more cars driving instead of taking the bart line just in case they want to avoid any scheduled changes. the rest of the bay does look

good, but san jose starts that traditional slowing for 101. back to you. sounds good. mike. thanks. well, new for you this morning. we are following that breaking news overseas american journalist evan gershkovich detained in russia for more than a year, appears in court for the start of his trial ahead this morning. we're going to talk more about those charges he's facing back here at home. a plan by president biden, really a republican plan to protect the border, is working. and. ba ba ba ba ba ba bust a move with a pair of olympics upon us. bay area kids are demonstrating what it takes to excel at breaking. much more news ahead. keep it here. you're watching today in the bay. we got to get you on the mic. hike, girl. now's the time to live your best california life. we're unlocking hidden gems, health and beauty secrets and unforgettable golden state getaways. california live weekdays at 1130 on nbc. bay area. it may be small, but it

trials begin june 15th on nbc and peacock. the paris olympics and paralympics coming this summer. brought to you on nbc bay area by toyota. proud partner of team usa. right now on this wednesday morning at 545 santa rosa, starting out with low 50s and it's mostly clear we'll continue to see sunshine today. and we're headed for the low 80s going into this afternoon. a nice day ahead. we'll talk about some changes in our distant microclimate forecast coming up in the south bay. mostly clear, but here in san jose i saw for the last i'd say minute there was a lot of clustering going on. as you're heading north up toward mckee, things just started to smooth out again, indicating though more traffic throughout the south bay. and of course, the continued issues for bart and san pablo has that crash. we'll track it all coming up. thanks, kari and mike breaking news this

morning in russia. the closed door trial is now underway for an american wall street journal reporter accused of spying. evan gershkovich appeared in court this morning. russian authorities accused him of gathering secret information on orders of the cia. they also claim it was information about a company manufacturing tanks for russia's war in ukraine. now, the u.s. government and the journal all reject those claims, saying he was accredited by russia's foreign ministry to work there if convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison. also breaking wikileaks founder julian assange is back in his home country. this morning. his plane landed in australia, where video showed him waving to supporters. it follows the deal he reached with the us authorities, ending his 14 year legal saga. his sentence includes his time served in british custody. assange pleaded guilty to violating u.s. espionage laws by publishing classified documents about u.s. military wrongdoing in iraq and

afghanistan. well president biden's crackdown on the border is working scott mcgrew crossing numbers are way down. yeah, and i assume he'll probably bring that up in the debate tomorrow, because it really blunts one of the jabs that trump was going to take. the crisis at the border. but biden will be able to say, you know, i took a republican idea, essentially a trump idea, to close the borders to asylum seekers. and it worked. now, this is an idea that biden tried to get through congress, but trump blocked. now, whether that's legal or not, whether the president has the power to close the border to asylum seekers, we don't yet know. but there you see the numbers crossings down 40% since the biden plan went into place. the lowest number of crossings since biden took office. we also expect president biden to forgive the convictions of men and women in the military found guilty of gay physical relationships before being gay in the military was okay. there were certain acts that between

the years of 1951 and 2013 were illegal among consenting adults of any gender or orientation. the military has since gotten rid of those laws. those convicted are often denied veteran's benefits. now, there were some primaries across the nation yesterday in utah, a centrist republican governor will keep his seat after beating back a challenger backed by trump. colorado's lauren boebert won her primary, meaning her very republican district. she'll likely win the general in november. and just outside new york city, democratic congressman jamaal bowman lost his seat a democratic challenger, george latimer, will run instead. bowman was one of the far left members of the congress. you may have first heard his name when he ran into trouble for pulling a fire alarm at the capitol office building, but his real trouble started when he started to speak out against israel's war in gaza. a pro-israel political group poured money into his opponent's

campaign, the most in any house primary campaign ever. here's the winner last night, george latimer. thank you, george. and we say that we believe in inclusion of everybody in our representation. that you are included no matter what you are a demographic is doesn't matter. your age, color of your skin, your religion or sexual identity . whether you're a right hand or left handed, whether you're a net fan or a yankee fan. we have the presidential debates tomorrow night. former president trump's camp playing up the drama of who he might choose as vice president, whether he'll announce that before or after the debates or maybe during and importantly, today we get more major decisions from the u.s. supreme court. the court had to tack on a decision day. it had

so many unfinished cases, it was supposed to be done by now. we're still waiting on the big one. whether us presidents are above the law, whether a law obstructing an official proceeding can be applied to the january sixth charges, there's another abortion case and then a case about homelessness. the california is watching very carefully. marcus already know your question. are the remaining decisions coming out today going to come out today? because today is the final final day of the term, right? i have no idea. nobody seems able to predict this court. you need them to get to moving. all right. thanks, scott. all right. so look the countdown is on. we've been talking about that to the paris olympics. and with that celebration, it is time to bust a move on the dance floor. and you know what? it's a great time to do that because there is one new sport that will make its debut this summer, breaking nbc bay area's digital reporter jonathan bloom visited a local dance studio where young children are learning the art of the dance. oh, there you go. marcus isaac castillo, also

known as coach precise, teaches children the origins of breaking the music that drives it and the intricacies of strategy. in the heat of a dance battle. now, he even tried to show our own jonathan bloom some moves children say breaking at the summer games will hopefully encourage more people to know about breaking and try it for themselves. think of us like paint brushes and the dance floor is a canvas. we're making physical art when we dance. a lot of the dancers are artists first, but they also train as now athletes. castillo hopes he will be able to pass the torch to the next generation young generations that will take breaking to new levels. waiting for jonathan bloom. yeah, i want to see something all right. he's an amazing singer, i'll tell you that. okay all right. well, amazing forecast. kari hall. yeah. looks great for us for the next few days. it's going to be cooler. we don't have any more of that risk of any thunderstorms or rain and all of that is now moving off towards the north and east. so even the

lightning strikes we're seeing now over toward nevada. so we are going to see things improving for us. and also lower temperatures. we're only up to 77 in downtown san jose, still pretty warm in los gatos with a high of 83 and 86. in morgan hill, much of the east bay in the mid 80s, with walnut creek hitting a high of 85 degrees. but in hayward it will be in the low 70s and low 60s for daly city. redwood city, 70 degrees and some upper 60s expected today in san francisco. mill valley 73 degrees 78 novato and up to 85 in santa rosa. as we take a look at napa and what to expect, it's going to be nice and mild over these next few days. temperatures into the weekend in the 80s, a little bit warmer for sunday, and you can see the trend here. we do have triple digits ahead for the beginning of next week, monday, tuesday, even wednesday is going to be really hot. so we're bracing for that spike in temperatures across a lot of our

inland valleys. and so we're going to enjoy the seasonable weather for the weekend. and still nice and cool in san francisco with highs in the upper 60s. mike, you're saying that most of the delays are in the east bay? yeah, yeah they are. the south bay has some delay, but that's typical right here for 101. a little more congestion. we'll watch. that should clear up tri valley, east bay looking really good right now except for this part of contra costa county. we're still very slow coming toward two lanes that are blocked. there waiting for another tow truck for one of the one of the vehicles involved in this crash right around san pablo dam road. starting to be a bigger backup to highway four now because more traffic, more congestion coming in. this is okay for the berkeley curve, though, because traffic is held up there out of san pablo, and we still have delays for the bart line. so no red line service. the orange line will be your alternate back to you. all right. thank you. mike. well, happening now. police in south san francisco, they're launching a new community camera registry. neighbors with surveillance cameras are being asked to link their devices to the system by signing up for a new page on the

city's website. supporters argue that the program can provide some critical clues in crime investigations. the registry is voluntary. police will not have access to taking control of those cameras. well, there's much more ahead on today in the bay, including facing budget cuts. a live report on the changes that could soon be coming to oakland, and the direct impact it will have on fighting crime. plus, all morning long, we are continuing our 30 day countdown to the 2024 paris olympics. two rowers from oakland have their sights set on international glory ahead. the big second chance the upcoming competition is providing for one of them. we'll be right back. it must have taken a lot of bravery to save a millionaire's wife from danger. one undercover agent would take on the role of a lifetime. he must have nerves

of steel. next dateline. today at one on nbc bay area. when it comes to weather forecasting, accuracy is what moves the bay area forward. this will be the hottest day so far this year, and that's where our team really shines. nbc bay area's microclimate weather team certified most accurate eight years in a row.

doesn't believe you have to be physically or naturally gifted to excel in rowing. you can sort of overcome some of those things with just hard work. it also takes discipline and determination. davidson and his partner sorin kozak, are on the water every day, preparing for a few races a year that are a mile and a quarter long and over in about six minutes. the amount of time that we spend racing is so small compared to the amount of time that we spend training, so you have to be able to sort of fill that time, and it's been able to keep yourself motivated and, you know, set short term and long term goals. both have been rowing for more than a decade. davidson was born in england and grew up in florida. kosik is from michigan. they met at the rogers rowing center in oakland as part of california rowing club. they're headed to paris after winning the men's double sculls final. rowing. olympic qualifier last month in switzerland. this will be the first olympics for kosik, while

davidson just missed winning a medal in tokyo. it's something i've wanted to do since i started rowing in high school, so to actually do it and see myself there is pretty cool. it means a lot to me to be able to be able to go back a second time, and it was a great experience to race in tokyo, but tough to not have my family there. so i'm really excited to be able to bring them with me. this time. and making it to the top of the podium is the goal in paris to win an olympic gold medal? yeah, for sure. the rowing events get underway on july 27th, one day after the opening ceremony in paris. in oakland, anthony flores nbc bay area and nbc bay area will bring you exclusive coverage of the paris olympic games. it begins with the opening ceremony on july 26th. and we're looking at the bay bridge toll plaza, where things are getting a little more congested because there is the alternate. the bart system. i'll have the alert for bart. we'll talk about what's going on there and what you'll have to do
