their house? i think they're renting. listen, listen— i know they get easy access to all this football... but you know what you got? what, coach? a crumb bum attitude! now drop and give me twenty! twenty what?

we stand by as a family, as operators, as humans. right now, at five, speaking out berkeley coffee shop owners repeatedly targeted by the same vandal are now sending a message of unity. this comes as police are calling the vandalism a hate crime. also vying for your vote, the harris-walz and trump-vance campaigns are on the road in full force. the battleground states, where both candidates will host rallies today and the key interview. the democratic ticket is set to take part in. plus, the labor day weekend rush is on. the millions expected to drive and fly this weekend. we're breaking down everything you need to know. this is today in the bay so don't leave just yet. thursday morning. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia and i'm marcus washington cynthia in for mike this morning with a look at that commute. we'll have that in just a bit. but first let's talk about that forecast. because this is the first day we're seeing the numbers kind of go down a little

bit. just a little bit. and we're making some progress. it's been hot for the valleys over these past few days as we take a live look in san francisco. more of the same of what you've seen throughout much of the week. we start out with clouds. eventually it clears out and we're looking at some mild weather there, but it will be eventually turning a little bit cooler heading into the weekend with more of the morning clouds and mild temperatures and then heading into our labor day weekend. it looks really nice, but then the heat returns early next week. we'll see a lot of changes in our temperatures. we are still headed for the mid to upper 80s for much of the north bay today. 85 in santa rosa and in novato and fremont. today, 81 degrees 84 in san jose with upper 80s in the south county. much of the peninsula will be in the 70s and 80s for today, and just slightly lower for tomorrow. so we'll be tracking all of the changes in your weekend forecast. and cynthia, you were watching something in the east bay. yeah, this caught my attention coming up on the grid. a couple of seconds ago. kerry, we go over to hayward,

southbound 880. this will slow your commute a little bit, as we're looking at a crash just around the industrial parkway offramp. a couple of cars got into it. so what we know right now is there is some debris that they're trying to work out on the lanes. not too much of an impact, but again, just be careful and give everybody their space. there down into the south bay off of 82. we'll go to san jose, seventh street and leo avenue before you get on tully road. that will you'll have to watch for a crash there. otherwise the rest of the bay area is looking good. we're looking about a 25 minute ride out of the altamont pass, and the bridges are also flowing smoothly. back to you. thank you very much, cynthia. well, crews are still working this morning to fully contain a brush fire in the north bay. it is burning near petaluma on old adobe road in taurasi lane. cal fire says the gulch fire has scorched 20 acres since it started yesterday afternoon. about three outbuildings and one other structure now destroyed. at last check, the fire is 40% contained, so far. there is no

word on what sparked it. well, today could be the first real test for bay area colleges promising to take a stronger stance this fall against protesters. pro-palestinian supporters plan to hold coordinated rallies at four bay area universities today uc berkeley, san jose state, sf state and usf. organizers are demanding schools divest from companies connected to israel, and at least one case students are holding a news conference at san francisco state. now, uc and csu leaders say they are enacting a zero tolerance tolerance policy. this is on encampments this fall, along with bans on wearing masks to hide the identity of those protesters. they're not commenting on today's planned events. police in berkeley are looking for the person seen on video repeatedly vandalizing a specialty shop, which only opened a few months ago. video shows the suspected vandals standing outside jaffa coffee roasters on university avenue. the owners are three palestinian brothers raised in napa. they

say four times over the past six weeks, the same person has done the same thing where a free palestine sign sits mounted in the window, showcase our identities to show people that, you know, being free in palestine is an okay thing to say. it's not anti-semitic, and we're in fact people of the semites as well. i don't know what we need to do as palestinians to prove that we also deserve freedom. we want people to try our coffee, and we want people to know that the people behind are palestinian, californian police confirmed they are investigating this case as a hate crime. if you know who the person is, you should contact berkeley police. turning now to decision 2024 and within less than 70 days until the election day, the harris-walz and trump-vance campaigns are hitting the road in full force. the democratic ticket will have their first sit down interview today as they try to woo voters. meanwhile, the republican ticket is focusing on key battleground

states today in the bay's alice barr joining us live from washington this morning. and alice, there really is a lot to track here. there is marcus as usual. but today i think the biggest headline is this sit down interview that vice president harris is going to be giving. there's a lot of focus on that because she has been under mounting pressure to stake out her policy positions from both supporters and critics to say where she stands on key policy issues. have a good evening, everyone. vice president kamala harris and running mate minnesota governor tim walz, kicking off a bus tour across southern georgia, listening to a high school marching band. and addressing the students. your generation. all that you guys stand for. everything you have at stake is what is going to propel our country. governor walz, drawing on his time as a high school teacher and football coach.

education is the key to the middle class, as the democratic ticket seeks to appeal to rural voters in a critical battleground state. tonight, they'll hold their first sit down interview on cnn. i think it's very important that she's very explicit about her policies. former president trump's running mate, ohio senator jd vance, criticizing his rivals for what he sees as empty promises of hope and joy. her citizens are suffering. she should not be feeling joy. she should be feeling shame that as he defended against criticism over a trump visit to arlington national cemetery, this week honoring the u.s. service members killed during a chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. he was there providing emotional support to a lot of brave americans who lost loved ones they never should have lost. the visit drawing controversy after the trump campaign, says a cemetery employee tried to physically block campaign staffers at a cemetery. spokesperson saying federal law prohibits any political or

election related activities within military cemeteries, including photography. the trump campaign, emphasizing they were invited by gold star families. some veterans groups are now speaking out against the cemetery visit, while family members of the fallen tell nbc news they wanted the former president there, too. senior trump campaign officials also telling nbc news their staff coordinated details on the event with cemetery public affairs officials in advance. marcus. all right. alice barr in washington this morning. alice. thank you. it is getting much harder for allstate customers to make it in the bay. allstate is approving the highest rate hike california has seen in years. california department of insurance is allowing the state's six largest home insurer to raise home insurance rates for more than 350,000 policyholders. homeowners insurance could go up by 34%. it

is the largest increase by a major insurer in the past three years. an insurance consumer advocate says you should try to find a good agent and do as much comparison shopping as you can. the whopper of an increase. it's bad news of course, for allstate policyholders, because allstate sending you a message. if you can find a better deal, you should go for it. state farm also asking the state to approve a 30% rate hike for california homeowners. we reached out to allstate for a statement, but did not immediately hear back. now to a live look over at sfo. this is where many travelers are set to take off for the labor day weekend. and according to triple a, domestic travel is up 9% compared to last year. the travel costs are down 2%, and if you're expecting to hit the roads ahead of the holiday today and tomorrow will be the busiest days. friday will be the busiest day for tsa. tsa also saying that they are expecting to screen a record breaking 17 million passengers throughout

the holiday weekend. now, as we approach the holiday weekend, united airlines flights may be impacted if flight attendants soon walk off the job. union members announcing yesterday that they voted to authorize a strike. more than 28,000 united flight attendants are calling for double digit base pay increase. also, higher pay for actual time at work, not just the time they're in the air. united says it remains eager to reach an agreement. let's take a peek outside on this thursday morning, overlooking the east bay in walnut creek. folks already up and about and out the door. cinthia pimentel is in for mike. will check in with her in just moments, but first, we'll drop in the temperatures. yeah, looking forward to that. not having to run the air conditioning as much and also getting outside for the long holiday weekend for many people. we're starting out with a clear sky this morning as we take a live look outside in san rafael or san jose. rather, it is 61 degrees and we're going to see those temperatures come down another degree or two in the next couple of hours. and then

as we go throughout the rest of the day, we'll see those temperatures rising and it will be another warm one, just not as warm as it has been. we'll see a high of 84. and in the south bay as you move farther south, you are going to see some upper 80s there, only a couple of low 90s for the far inland areas before the north bay. it will be milder, with a high of 88. today in napa. we'll get a look ahead to the weekend. coming up, cynthia has a look at where you can fill up for less before you hit the road this weekend. yeah, you're talking about not as hot. hopefully we can find not as expensive for these gas prices. good morning kari. good morning everyone. it's almost time for our getaway friday. thursday is also mini friday, so let's see where we can find some of those cheaper gas prices for you. we want to avoid the crowds tomorrow. of course, as people try to get away. we'll check in right now on the prices reported by you on gasbuddy.com. thanks for helping us out and we'll start with 375 in san jose at the costco off of east capitol expressway. do some shopping, then fill up the tank. we'll

head to the east bay after that with 399 in oakland at telagas on telegraph avenue, you can hop off of highway 24 and check that one out, and another 399. but up in marin county, this time at elite gas in downtown san rafael, a few spots, a cheaper one. let us know. let's go to the roadways right now. see what's happening at 11 past the hour right now on our thursday. still looking at something in the east bay right there in hayward, southbound 880. there were a couple of cars that got into it. latest report is there off to the right hand side. this is right around the industrial parkway offramp. there is some debris in the lane. so you can see that orange is just a little bit of slowing. otherwise the rest of the bay looks pretty good. we hope it stays that way. back to you. all right. thank you cynthia. well, leveling the playing field ahead here on today in the bay. the new legislation banning private colleges and universities from giving preferential treatment to potential students and social media may be in some real trouble, like all of them. we'll walk you through the problem and listen to this hitting snooze on

the weekend may be good for you. ahead, the added benefits you get by sleeping in. but not today. that's not. that's for the weekend. we'll ha

pretty comfortable, and we're staying below 80 degrees here. as we go into the afternoon. so enjoy the nice and mild weather. we'll see for at least this spot. some areas still pretty warm. we'll get a look at the range in our microclimates coming up, and some areas just starting to pick up a little bit. bay bridge toll plaza right now it is flowing smoothly. no metering lights just yet. it will be about a 15 minute ride to get yourself over to the bay bridge and across it. we are watching a slow uptick to this thursday before labor day. we'll see what's ahead coming up. well good morning. very happy thursday to you. nvidia may pressure the markets a little lower this morning. nvidia told investors it made way more money than expected. but they weren't the blowout results that nvidia is famous for. so really great results. instead of amazing results. and nvidia is under pressure. yelp has filed a lawsuit against google, accusing

the search giant of hijacking traffic at the top of search results. now, yelp has been accusing google of this for years, but this new suit comes right after google lost an antitrust case brought by the government. and yelp smells an opportunity. a lot of news about social media, a real sea change. all of a sudden, courts are holding the social media platforms responsible for what users post. that's really never happened before. we start with the tragic loss of a ten year old who tried one of those tiktok challenges. here's her mother. just pay attention because you never know what you might find in their phones or the things they find that you think ten year olds wouldn't tr. they're trying because they're kids and they don't know no better. now, a federal appeals court in pennsylvania has revived the mother's wrongful death lawsuit against tiktok, saying tiktok must stand trial for the death of ten year old

nyla anderson, who tried to copy one of those challenges in her feeds. it's one of several incidents this week of courts holding the platforms at least partially responsible for what users post, and that's not how it worked in the past. in the past, social networks were immune from those kinds of accusations, the same way the post office is not responsible for the nasty letter you send, or the phone company is not responsible for, say, you, planning a crime over the phone. social media companies have been using that for decades to try to say, we're not responsible for what's on our platform. we may profit off of it, but we're not responsible for it in any way. and what the court yesterday said is that's just not true. x the old twitter, also famously facing similar problems in brazil x had removed essentially evacuated executives working in brazil after a court there said

those executives could be jailed for what users said on x. and now the brazilian supreme court ordering x to send the executives back to brazil, or the court may shut down x throughout the country. we've reached out to x for more comment. not just x either, not just tiktok. we told you about the rest of the head of telegram in france, again accused of various crimes based on what users posted, not what he poste. pavel durov, now officially charged, among other things, with allowing child sexual abuse and drug trafficking on the social network telegram used by political activists who are trying to avoid censorship of their country's leaders as well. also how the ukrainian army sends out those videos of its battlefield victories. i'm not saying that social media has, you know, i mean, they've done some some pretty tough stuff here. i just need you to understand this is a giant sea change in the way that various courts around the of the world are seeing how this works, seeing the effects of it. yeah.

thank you, scott 519 for you, this morning and new for you state lawmakers. they have approved a measure meant to end preferential treatment for legacy applicants at all colleges and universities statewide. a bay area assemblyman, phil ting, authored that measure. he argues prioritizing students whose families are alumni or significant donors leads to a less racially diverse student body. california public schools already forbid the practice, but that measure applies to private schools as well. that bill now heads to the governor's desk. new research says catching up on sleep on the weekends may come with added health benefits. in fact, sleeping in on the weekends may significantly decrease the risk of heart disease. research by european society of cardiology congress in london found people who got the most sleep on the weekend were 19% less likely to develop heart disease. a recent gallup poll found only 42% of u.s. adults get as much sleep as they need, but it's nice to see this study because usually the studies all show that we're, you

know, we're in bad shape on this shift, but maybe that sleeping in we do could help us. i do, i take advantage of it. it's a luxury not to have to have an alarm. that's what we're talking about. yeah. that's right. all right. sleeping in all the way past 6 a.m. yes. and people may have an extra day this weekend with it being labor day to sleep in. so take advantage and don't feel bad about it. we're going to start out with temperatures this morning in the upper 50s. as you're heading out in san francisco, it is 63. in hayward. we've had some really warm days and it's been slow to recover with those temperatures dropping overnight, but it is feeling nice and mild with some mid 50s in parts of the east bay. looking at our highs for this afternoon, it will be 87 in cupertino. so you can see these numbers are still pretty warm, but just not a lot of 90s here. we're still very close. 89 in morgan hill today and 90 in concord. and walnut creek. the warmest temperature will be in antioch today, 92 degrees with a lot of upper seconds and low 80s

for the inner east bay. and then for the peninsula. anywhere from 69 in daly city to 84, in redwood city. in san francisco, it will be in the low seconds downtown and in the mission district, mostly 60s through the afternoon, as that fog lingers a little bit longer and we'll see some mid 80s for much of the north bay with santa rosa at a high of 85 degrees and 96. in clear lake. looking ahead to the next few days, we've been talking a lot about a little bit of a cool down and we're going to be in the 90s here. one of our warmer spots inland like brentwood. and then look at next week, the summer heat will be blasting back with triple digit temperatures starting on tuesday. and continuing through midweek. a lot of our inland valleys will be in the upper 90s, so we're going to enjoy those mid 80s that we will see for the weekend into labor day. while san francisco will stay in the low 70s. and, cynthia, you're tracking an issue in hayward. yep. still this ongoing

problem. southbound 880 after industrial right there after the southland mall around the industrial parkway offramp. there were a couple of cars that got into the crash, debris in the lanes. so they're starting to clear that. but we are looking at backing up right after you pass the southland mall. just give crews and everybody a chance to get that situated out of the way. the rest of the bay area is looking fine. we hope it stays that way and we'll be back with a look at traffic in a few minutes. back to you. all right. thanks, cynthia. going for gold next on today in the bay. a soaring start to the paralympics in paris. we'll have the highlights from the opening ceremony and all the action to watch for as

traditional stadium. competitors from more than 180 countries paraded down the champs-elysees in paris yesterday. of course, the lighting of the cauldron, always an exciting moment in any international competition. this year, five french para athletes lit the iconic symbol which is attached to that hot air balloon. the cauldron will fly nearly 200ft beginning at sunset until 2 a.m. paris. time for the competition. more than 4000 athletes will compete across 22 different sports. 225 of them are representing team usa, and that includes the wheelchair men's basketball team going for a third straight gold medal in paris. the most influential moment of my life and my athletic career. it wasn't the wins, it was the day that i found wheelchair basketball. hopefully when people watch us compete, it inspires them to start their impossible. you can keep up with all the action on peacock. coverage of the 2024

paralympics continues through september 8th. a lot of fun. it's 627 right now, and the top stories we're following this morning, including diving into the long term effects of covid 19. we're going to talk about the key hearing happening in the south bay later today. i'm ginger conejero saab we're live at sfo this morning and labor day weekend is fast approaching with the travel rush is on. we'll give you aive update after lth

some spots in the inland valleys that will be still warm. so we are going to see a slight drop in temperatures as we take a live look outside in san francisco. we are going to see those low clouds. let's head to the north bay where the fog lingers a lot longer in tiburon. that keeps those temperatures in the upper 60s, but it will be up to 90. in yountville today. benicia 80 for that high and mid 80s for santa rosa and in novato and cynthia, it looks pretty busy in the east bay right now. we can see it right now. oakland 80 in both directions. cars are moving. but if people are coming south, that's what we're going to encounter. a problem right there in hayward. you travel a little bit further south. we're looking at southbound 880 at the industrial park offramp. there was a crash involving about 3 or 4 cars. then the debris got in the lane. and right now is my last check of the chp log. i saw that there was another crash building up right behind this. so everybody just eyes on the road and make sure that you just give space to the crews that are trying to handle this. back to

you guys. thanks, cynthia. well matt king in the bay coming with another added challenge for homeowners. the state is giving the green light for a major rate hike by another home insurer. today, in the bay's bob redell joining us live from livermore this morning. and, bob, we're actually talking about all the state here. how much of an increase can customers expect? okay, bob, you know what? we're having trouble with your microphone there. we can't hear you. we're going to try to get that worked out, but we are talking about allstate insurance this morning. we'll check back with you in just a little bit. all right. well new for you this morning. new funding in the south bay. it's going to actually help boost living conditions for farm workers and unhoused veterans. congresswoman zoe lofgren yesterday announcing that she actually secured about $2.5 million in federal funds. some of that money will help renovate recently acquired buildings meant to house vets. the rest will go to farmworker

their catching flights out of town. that's true. lucky them. right. good morning, laura and marcus. always nice to see that last summer getaway. as labor day really closes out the summer. we're live at sfo, as you mentioned. you can take a look behind us. there is a bit of a travel rush this morning. now, this is typically a busy time of the morning for those trying to get out early, but san francisco is the busiest airport in the area. it is expected to be the busiest airport during the labor day weekend and starting today through tuesday, the airport is expected to see more than 930,000 passengers pass through. that's almost 9% higher than last year, so don't be surprised if sfo and san francisco itself feel and look busy this holiday weekend. according to triple a, san francisco is among the top local destinations this labor day weekend. it's joined by new york, boston, denver and chicago. domestic travel is up 9% compared to last year, with

travel costs down 2% now. europe is a top destination for upcoming holiday travel. eight of triple a's top ten international travel destinations are in europe. that includes paris, rome, barcelona and dublin. international travel over labor day weekend, however, is down 4% compared to last yea. labor day isn't as popular travel wise as july 4th or thanksgiving, but it's still an opportunity for people to get away, especially if they have that built in three day weekend. now, whether you are traveling domestically or internationally, don't forget those tsa rules because it might set you back a bit. getting onto your flight. tsa is expected to screen a record breaking 17 million passengers. now, bay area airports are bracing for the influx of travelers this weekend. oakland's airport, the san francisco oakland international airport, estimates that 200,000 passengers will visit the airport from today

until tuesday, september 3rd. the busiest travel days for them will be tomorrow and monday. tomorrow also expected to be the busiest travel day down in san jose at mineta airport, both san jose and oakland advise their travelers to plan for your parking ahead of time. that's a nice little tip there. if you do plan on taking your car or driving to your travel destination this labor day weekend, today and tomorrow will be the busiest days on the road. triple a advises drivers to leave past 11 a.m. that makes just enough time for you to watch today in the bay. then you can head out the door. hopefully with the easier traffic. guys, back to you. that's how they should spend the day. start out with today in the bay because that kicks off every vacation in a great way, because you've got to know about the airport delays and the weather, for example. right, kari. absolutely. and that's so important, especially this early in the morning. we look at our east coast airports and if there's any issues there, it kind of causes the ripple effect across the country. and

there's no major storms that we are seeing. it's just been really hot. so that's been the main issue. but looking here close to home, no airport delays as of yet. we'll continue to monitor that. let's find some things to do around the bay area. we are going to have the sacramento state and san jose state game. that's going to show some really nice temperatures for that. and then we have monday night football. so if you're staying here you'll be able to maybe check that out. we have temperatures that will start out in the low 70s and then down into the mid 60s as the night goes on. if you're heading up to napa for the black radio experience, it's going to be really nice at the meritage resort. it's going to be in the mid 80s for tomorrow and it will be warm during the middle of the day, but make sure you have the jacket for when those temperatures cool down quickly late in the evening. there's also the kings mountain art fair and the redwoods. it's going to be really comfortable there with highs in the mid 70s. cynthia is tracking the roads and some of those destinations you may be

headed to. of course, we know that the roads up to tahoe and around the lakes here in the bay area are going to be busy. and i would also offer you this. maybe it's time for a little bit of a check on your car. it's been the summer. we've kind of let it give it a little bit of a lull. so just make sure that that is ready to go. there are some events here locally if you're staying in town with me and the rest of us, it's not too bad. giants and marlins friday at oracle 7.15. so just some local traffic getting off of 280 and 101. and on saturday we have peso pluma the biggest mexican artist going on right now. that will be saturday at 830 in the afternoon. bart will also be running a sunday schedule on labor day, so just check for that if that is your way to work on monday in the bay area. back to you guys. thanks, cynthia. well, as we've been reporting, the state is giving the green light for a major rate hike by another home insurer today in the bay's bob redell joining us live from livermore this morning. and bob, we're talking about all of the state here. and it's already tough for people to

make it in the bay. so how much of an increase can customers expect here? good morning, marcus and laura. we're talking about allstate. of course. that's one of the state's largest home insurers. and they are going to be increasing the rates for homeowners insurance on average by 34%. so if you are a customer of allstate, this is something that you would notice. the exact amount on your next renewal. notice again, that was the average the california department of insurance gave allstate, which is, by the way, the state's sixth largest home insurer. the green light for this rate hike for more than 350,000 policyholders here in the golden state, this is the largest rate hike in three years by a major insurance carrier. here again, that 34% is the average. some could see a lesser increase, others could see more. it depends on where you live. homeowners in areas of high fire risk, for example, like rural parts here in the east bay, the hills of santa clara county, and of course parts of napa and sonoma, they could see the largest hikes. state farm also

asking the state to approve a 30% rate hike for california homeowners, which means, unfortunately, allstate customers like this man are not alone. i have noticed a significant increase in the rates for home insurance. and, you know, frankly speaking, i've been talking to my friends and they've noticed the same thing. so we are all wondering like, what is that factor? kind of, you know, that's affecting all the home rates going up. most of the insurers are coming in. they're saying with between prices going up, inflation and more claims coming in, that they need these increases. that was amy bach. she's an insurance consumer advocate. she says if you're an allstate customer who cannot handle these rate increases, if they're too unaffordable for you, she suggests you find a good agent and shop for a better deal. if you do find lower rates, she suggests you take it. we did reach out to allstate for a

statement, but did not immediately hear back. reporting live here in livermore. bob redell today in the bay. all right. it's affecting a lot of people, especially people on fixed incomes. thanks bob. well, finding the perfect foods for the picky eater. yeah, we know a lot of those, right? okay, so still ahead for you this morning on today in the bay. simple steps you can take when your children struggle with eating and some back to school ideas for packing their lunches. and republican candidate for vice president j.d. vance reacts to that incident at arlington. we'll bring you up to

out for work this morning in oakland. it's in the upper seconds and cloudy. we will start to see a little bit more sun around 10:00 and throughout the day a really nice and mild one with highs here reaching into the low 70s. we'll get a look at all of our microclimates in that weekend forecast coming up. and if you have to go southbound 80 through hayward. watch out for this. we've got two crashes going on. one at industrial park off ramp and one at tennyson road. so that's going to back up the traffic all the way into san lorenzo. also blocking the way to get onto the san mateo bridge. we'll see how long this goes on for and check on this in a few minutes. an apology. this morning from the governor of utah, who

accompanied donald trump on that photo shoot at arlington national cemetery on monday, scott mcgrew. joining us right now and scott, governor spencer there. spencer cox that is said that they actually did. and it was supposed to be part of a campaign ad. yeah. well, the trump campaign continues to say this was not a campaign ad to remind you. on monday, trump and cox and some family members of at least two marines killed in the final days of the occupation of afghanistan, took photographs and video at the headstones of those marines at arlington national cemetery. here's one of those pictures a thumbs up from former president trump. now, governor cox is on the far right of this photograph. he's got his hands behind his back there. cox posted this picture to social media, and then they took over that disaster. the leaving of afghanistan. and then the trump campaign went on and made a video for tiktok. we now know from both the trump campaign and the cemetery, a u.s. official

tried to step in and stop the photography at the site. this is called area 60. it's against federal law and cemetery rules. now, the trump campaign insists it had permission to shoot the pictures and the video, and that they were there by the invitation of the families to be at the gravesite. now, the problem is the family cannot give permission to someone to violate the cemetery rules over photography and behavior. in a statement posted below the picture he posted. governor cox said of the picture, quote, this was not a campaign event never intended to be used by the campaign. it didn't go through the proper channels and should not have been sent. my campaign will be sending out an apology. now the incident is evocative of the situation. joint chiefs of staff mark milley found himself in when he was asked to go in full battle camo to accompany then president trump on a walk across lafayette square, and that turned into a photo op milli or milli rather later

apologized to his fellow members of the military. i should not have been there. my presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics as a commissioned, uniformed officer. it was a mistake. now, trump did not campaign yesterday, but his running mate jd vance stumped in both pennsylvania and wisconsin, where he was asked about the confrontation between the campaign staffers and the cemetery official. three years ago. 13 brave, innocent americans died and they died because kamala harris refused to do her job. and there hasn't been a single investigation or a single firing. now that's worth a fact check. there is an ongoing investigation into the failures around the bombing at abbey gate, though general mark milley, the same general mark milley acknowledges it's taking too long. and vice presidents hold no military authority whatsoever. they can no more

give a command to a general than you or i can. harris and her running mate, governor tim walz, will be interviewed on cnn tonight at 6:00. our time. this will be harris's first sit down interview since she became the democratic nominee for president. and the supreme court has blocked president biden's revised plan to forgive some student loans. the save plan is essentially dead, though. for now, until there's a final, final decision. interest on those loans are still on hold. but if the courts agree with the republican states attorneys general who want to block the forgiveness, that interest will kick back in and your student loan payments will go up. laura, thank you very much, scott. well, new this morning, in some cases, good grades, only half the battle for children now headed back to school. because when it comes to picky eaters, the other half of the battle may be staying nourished. experts suggest a number of strategies for parents. for example, pick a lunchbox, maybe depicting your child's favorite character gets them a little excited to have

that lunch or have your kids practice eating. the amount of time that they'll have at school. sometimes they want to play more and go grocery shopping together for school lunch items, or let them pack their own meal, but look over it to make sure they put in healthy things. also, don't obsess over what your kids don't eat. here's one speech language pathologist who helps children with feeding and swallowing disorders. think about when you ask your child to put their shoes on or pick up their toys, right? what do they do? they dig their heels in, so the more you pressure them to eat when it's hard for them, the less they're going to want to do it, and then it's going to make eating, a stressful relationship or they're not going to have a good relationship with food, so give them the freedom and the independence to try foods on their own, set them up for success and give them opportunities to do so. but don't pressure them. that's true. you've got to put the control with them. well concerned parents always advise to talk with their pediatrician, but the american speech language hearing association also links to professionals who can help.

well, bay area native heading to america's got talent finals, said. i said i lose. ho ho ho h, hey hey. listening to right there tuesday night was a live quarterfinal round of america's got talent, and you seen didi simon from oakland singing a rendition of lose control by teddy swims. now her performance so powerful. judge heidi klum pressed the golden buzzer. simon says that she gave it her all in that performance to hit the buzzer. i just gave it all i got and channeled situations where my life has lost control and just channeled it. we're rooting for you, too. simon will skip the semifinal round and head straight to the finals. want to say good luck to her? and you can watch the semifinals of america's got talent tomorrow night at 8:00. there we go. got

to london to see it starting in october the 11th through next june. what animal was that in the air? that was it was a little bright on my monitor, so i couldn't really tell. yeah, it looks like a little white something. yeah we'll get back to you. yeah, that's that's what it was captioned. that was the title. little white something. okay, we're not setting up an art exhibit just anytime soon. no. all right. but you may want to get out in nature this weekend. enjoy the long holiday weekend, and we are going to see a lot of changes in our weather. it's going to be nice for the valleys to have some cooler temperatures, morning clouds and mild labor day weekend weather, but the heat will return early next week, so let's take a look at our highs for today in the south bay. some mid 80s for san jose. we're still going to see some upper 80s and parts of east san jose. the south county, morgan hill, 89 degrees and still a couple of 90s on the map here. we'll see a high of 90 in

pleasanton, walnut creek and in concord. martinez today, 84 degrees and 80 in hayward. for the coast, it's going to be in the upper 60s, definitely cooler than it has been the past couple of days, but we're still warming up to 84. in redwood city in san francisco, low 70s in the mission district and our north bay. highs in the mid 80s for santa rosa and novato, 70 near the coast and 99 today in ukiah. as we compare what we're seeing versus what we have across much of the rest of the country. if you're going to be packing your bags and heading somewhere all across the south, they're seeing some really hot temperatures mid to upper 90s. and with the heat index, it's been well over 100 degrees. we're going to see some hotter weather coming back as well as we take a look ahead to the weekend in gilroy will be in the mid 80s, but look at next week on tuesday as people are heading back to work, kids are getting back to school. it will be in the mid 90s for that high

temperature and for the inland areas. we're going from 90 today to seeing some mid 80s on saturday. upper 80s for labor day and then that jump in temperatures for tuesday in san francisco. it's also going to be warming up. so we're going to enjoy the mild weather with highs up to about 70 degrees. morning clouds and fog, as well as some breezy winds. and cynthia, you're seeing it slowing down now in hayward. yeah. so listen up if you have to go southbound 880 or make your way across the san mateo bridge, we've got two crashes going on the first one still has been going on almost about an hour. now. that one is at the industrial parkway offramp. they're trying to clear that debris, but not too far behind. right after you make that connector to 92, there was the second crash. not too many details there, but we look that the traffic is being impacted past southland mall into san lorenzo. so just you're going to wait a little bit there in the east bay down into the south bay if southbound 101. so kohler

commute is your direction. we do have a crash right there. that is in the clearing stages right around downtown on santa clara street. back to you. all right. thank you so much, cynthia. well, happening now, a new effort is underway. this is to help fight fentanyl across california. the state department of health launching a new campaign that is aimed at educating people on how to prevent overdoses and deaths. it includes highlighting non naloxone, which helps reverse the opioid overdose. the campaign will continue until june of next year. now the health department leaders, they say drug overdoses are the leading cause of death in california between the ages of 25 and 54, hit and hit again ahead at 6:00. a berkeley coffee shop repeatedly targeted by the same vandal. the reason police are now investigating it as a hate crime. and don't forget, nbc bay area streams 24/7 on roku and pluto. you can watch whenever you'd like. scan this qr code for easy how to stream guide. you can find us on your favorite streaming platform,
