winds really fan the flames up in the high country. and there you still the temperatures hovering in the 80's, but notice the winds, all of a sudden instead of getting a a westerly component, we're getting a southeasterly. that actually some good news for firefighters that is going to push that fire back in on itself and slow the forward progress a little bit. still, they are at 0% contained and they're going to be off and running with another very warm to hot day in the central valley tomorrow. all right. we've got that fog that has rolled on in here. the humidity is going way up. and that is great news for our local fires temperatures today go way down and that's not a bad thing. either. 14 degrees cooler in hayward, 11 degrees cooler in oakland and san francisco. and that trend we have brought you down the 70's and the 80's inside of a 50's 60's coast side. still a couple of 90's inland. but well, by tomorrow afternoon, i think we're lucky to get the 80's in some warmer spots inland. so what a change as things are really shifting gears now. that cool onshore breezes kicked in and you can see that marine air as work its way all the way inland. now, only 62 degrees in

there. it's mainly because many people it's going to be very disruptive to travel to that found the ring in to that wedding and to some as you alluded to, it's not going to be so easy sailing. it's going to result in hospitalization and in some cases, death, unfortunately, still in 2024. >>it feels to me like a lot of people have kind of moved with their lives i think i mean, i tend to think that. i'll ask you, is it a concern of yours that if you keep? doing these masking recommendations, i don't know for years to come that when the health department really needs people to pay attention that they may have kind of tune them out. >>that is definitely can send grant. i think that they've been trying to be as light as possible and anything until now. and that's because there isn't end in sight it has

applied it. still going up in all states. some pretty much and some people think it may peak early september now. so, you know, we still have a road ahead of and hopefully people he he did. >>we're hearing about so many people who are suffering from covid-19 again, it's this what new flirt variant. it seems to be really contagious but not obviously has. >>lethal as it was when it, you know, first was introduced. is this just impair a cull or using it as well, that it's just a it's really catchy. >>it's extremely coming finding people escaped not having covid. many i have been hearing more and more of those stories. those know that it's it is still some people to get

very you know, taking care of people in the hospital for the last few weeks. we had today that harvey weinstein is in the hospital with pneumonia from covid. so you know, it is that so to able to cities with a lot of not doing poorly enough to go to hospital. but some people are. >>i imagine that you're still under the recommendation that, you know, if you're elderly or immunocompromised, then you should really be probably paying attention to the vaccine updates and, you know, masking and in crowded, you know, indoor place. but if you don't fall under those categories, you're probably okay to continue living a normal life without a mask. is that fair? >>in general? yes, although if you live with somebody who their immune compromise, you probably want to be more careful as well. and again, being careful doesn't mean you don't engage with the world.

all, you know, go on that trip. but it's just being i'm mindful of that that snowfall that might be covid in the home in the household and grandparents. parents. relatives so immune compromise to get that vaccine, even though there will be a new one in the fall. >>so for people in fear who gotten this are describing some of the symptoms, it's not just respiratory. this new round is also affecting a lot of people and in intestinal track, trying to find a way it delicately. all. yeah. >>think you're right. as more and more people get covid. we're seeing a broader spectrum of symptoms. i think some of the ones that people paying more attention to include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. so if everybody in the house has covid and you have dire and

don't think it's just a stomach bug. try to get tested. that's good advice. >>doctor peter chin-hong, we always appreciate your time specially on a friday night have a good weekend and be safe out there. that's doctor peter chin. hong infectious disease specialists with ucsf. >>more new

pursuit policy is hurting efforts to be more effective. circumstances of definitely change since since i was chief. >>and i you know, oakland police department, city of oakland should consider some changes to the policy or on armstrong as oakland's former top cop who was fired by mayor thao. >>for allegedly failing to appropriately discipline officers. but a magistrate recommended the city reverse the termination. >>he is now running for an at-large position on oakland city council while he was chief, he supported putting a pause on pursuits. however, now. >>has lost changed. write the laws have change, which has made certain less accountable than they were previously. and so that means that law enforcement has to adjust to when the initial policy went into place, some things were felonies that are no longer and so certain crimes people have taken advantage of as a

result changes in laws, but also our policies that prevent us from pursuing and those type crimes. >>data shows like actual shows that high speed pursuits. don't keep us any safer. the actually make our communities much, less safe. cat brooks is co-founder of the anti police terror project. we've seen 2 analysts, 2 years incidents with oakland police department break. the people were killed people were harmed. people are hurt because of police chases. they didn't stop. the slide shows when the look i was murdered it's not to stop anything else. >>the policy is currently under review by the oakland city council. >>no word on when they may make a ruling on this in the newsroom. theresa kron, 4 news. 2 bay

qualified and ensuring that residents as well as voters are well educated what a recall is, how it started and how does not supporting us to do the hard work that we must do here in oakland with just over 100 days until the election, neither tao or price have done much campaigning. would think that it would be a active campaign. recall expert joshua spivak with berkeley law says over 60% of elected officials facing recall nationwide lose. >>and another 60% resign in advance if talon price want to avoid that, he says they must maximize the time they have by getting on the campaign trail as if it's a regular election condit nor that it's a recall. >>focus your record what accomplished much the same way when one for election run for re-election. that's why the spivak says what those being recalled want to avoid. >>is campaigning on the notion

that recalls are undemocratic, voters have calculated that into the process. understand what the recall in and they're voting with school or disapprove of elected official, not certain whether were just deal, but we call it a shot. >>one big unknown is how oakland born kamala harris's entrance into the presidential race might affect the recall. if it does energize progressives to get involved as expected. experts say it could have an impact on the recalls outcome. dan kerman kron, 4 news

>>and injection is showing promising results in preventing the spread of hiv. a city of 5,000 women and girls in south africa and uganda found twice yearly shots were 100% effective in protecting against infections. the shots made by u.s. drugmaker gilead are currently used to treat hiv to help walk us through the study's results and its impact. kron 4 stephanie lin spoke to doctor monica gandhi with u c s f. >>we to start off give us a point of comparison. how are hiv infections currently being prevented? and why is this injection so groundbreaking? >>right now, unfortunately, hiv infections are not being prevented. in fact, the un aids just released updated statistics last week in the same meeting that the purpose one trial was released, that we've had 1.3 million new infections last year across the planet. that is no

different than 2 years ago. so we have not made progress in reducing hiv infections, pre-exposure, prophylaxis or prep is terribly important. and so that's what this study looked at was a new agent for pre-exposure prophylaxis. it's hard to take a pill every day. and in this case, this is a agent called lena captive it's given as an injection once every 26 weeks or 6 months and cisgender women, there were 5,000 women enrolled in the trial. but about 2100 a cap of air. there 0 infections in the half of their arm compared infections in the oral arms. well, that's pretty significant there. so. >>we do know right now that this injection is already being used to treat hiv. so could you clarify the difference between using the injection to treat versus prevent hiv. >>yes, so people living with hiv need lifelong treatment unfortunately, except for 7 years in the world where we have a cure hiv. so everyone

needs to be pill every day when a cap of year as treatment regimen is actually approved. only for highly treatment experience patients who have a lot of resistance to the other medications to it's not being used in a lot of people for treatment that was approved in december 2022. so this is really it's going to be it's me news, which is in the context of prep and what pride means is you're at risk for hiv. so you don't have hiv, you know, risk for hiv. you take a medication either oral or injectable to prevent you from getting hiv. if you're exposed. and so this will be now that 4th. but the agent that approved, there are 2 oral regiment, something called kara teddy bear, which is given as an injection every 8 weeks. now, this is going to be an injection every 6 months. >>got our understanding of use of this particular injection for treatment of hiv is is is that there's actually a quite an amount pills that the the user has to take. is that correct?

>>well, it used to be. we used to call handfuls of pills or cocktail regiments to treat hiv. to be fair, that is all gotten better. and in fact, most people are on one pill once a day where they have 3 pills embedded within that one pills brilliant combination. what it called fix those combinations. one once a day to make it easier. but despite that, even with one once a day, some people can't do that. it's hard. there's other challenges in life. so we only have 72% of people living with hiv in the world achieving that goal of therapy, which is very logic suppression. some are not tweeting everyone properly yet. and we need some help. and injectables could really so, of course, while this is still being tested as a prevention measure, there are some concerns about the affordability. >>and accessibility of getting these injections are right now just to just says a measure to treat hiv. our understanding is that this drug costs more than $40,000 a year of the

actual amount that a patient actually pays can vary, of course. but we also know that there is another prevention shot that sells for $180 a year. but it's taken every 2 months that's still considered pricey for developing countries. so don't so, doctor, are you hopeful that this medication is going to become more affordable once it becomes more widely available? >>this is obviously the most important question because what happened? last week's just ended today in munich, germany. this is called the international aids meeting is there were protests everywhere. every time when it happened, there was mention people were excited and then there was a group of protesters saying you have to make this accessible and affordable and lower and middle income countries because that's where the change hiv burden lies. so it is up to gilead to have to say the company is heard loud and clear and they're talking about voluntary licensing agreements, making it cheaper. 40,000 is not going to be affordable for hiv medication to prevent 1.0. 3 million new infections in low and middle income countries. >>all right, doctor monica

gandhi with ucsf, thank you so much for your perspective and insight on this treatment. insight on this treatment. >>kron all will contin dave's cy just scored the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. high five! high five... -i'm on a call. it's 5 years of reliable, gig speed internet...

>>yeah, how about that? cool down around the bay area. temperatures really getting a lot more comfortable outside. remember, just 2 days ago we're dealing with triple digit heat. some of those temperatures soaring to 109 degrees. even places saw 11213 this july. but now looks like we're finally getting a nice, real long. he relief as we're going to plenty of fog rolling on in racine it out there right now. it's moved inside the bay bounce up against part of the east bay hills going ahead. well inland for tonight. in fact, not only we going to see that fog outside tonight, we're probably going to see a lot of drizzle specially co-signed. you may want wake up along the coast and it may be very wet by early tomorrow morning. so watch out for that little slick coast side. and then tomorrow, cloud early on, only partial clearing in the afternoon. again, much cooler outside. repeat that as we

head in towards sunday and monday, too out there right now. that onshore breeze continuing. and that is bringing with it. a low cloud of fog that can you can see right here. the forecast models picking up on a moving onshore already tonight or look at that feeling inside the bay all the way in the central valley by tomorrow morning. then you start to see a little green patches that some of the model picking up on some of that drizzle around the bay area. so it's all good news on all of the cool down. our temperatures are really help out the firefighters and slow down the progress of any local fires here and prevent more. we'll see more fog on the way as we head in towards saturday night and sunday. it's really going to thicken up a role in london. fact, we have this one, a trough of low pressure finally rolling on through get rid of that high-pressure ridge that has been with us all month. so tomorrow, yeah. plan on another cool day across parts of the bay area. with onshore flow continue. in fact, these temperatures going to be coming way down. we're going to keep them down. i think into about the middle of the week next week, start to warm up a bit. and then as we head toward the following week, maybe start to warm things up a little bit further. but in the meantime, numbers looking

like this tomorrow, we've got some 50's and 60's into san francisco, a cool out toward the beaches. again, you're likely see some drizzle overnight tonight and tomorrow morning, a little bit wet along the coastline early tomorrow about 61 degrees in millbrae. 62 in burlingame, 70 degrees redwood city about 69 in mount so these temperatures our way down from where they've been a comfortable day in the south. a lot of 70's there by tomorrow afternoon, east bay temperatures where you've been in the triple digits. how about that? unlike some 70's tomorrow afternoon, lots of sunshine. it will be warm there, but certainly not hot. 77 degrees down to about 76 in concord and about 79 degrees in fairfield. so really some comfortable weather compared to where we've been these temperatures running a little bit below the average as we head in toward the next couple days. but it looks like it will stay a fairly similar through sunday and monday and probably tuesday, then about the middle of next week. start one, the temperatures up a little bit. well, the giants performance in their next 4 games against the rockies will reveal whether they are buyers or sellers at the deadline.

11 for laughter over the rockies. let's talk about the red-hot a's. is their fans are on the road in anaheim taking on the angels and welcoming back one of their better pitchers, paul blackburn. he's back in the rotation after being sidelined. with a foot injury since may 10th but in the first blackburn probably wished he stayed on the aisle. just maybe one more and on for ty taylor ward year. teams are interested unloads on a four-seamer. >>way out to center field 415 feet. that's not coming back. blackburn gave up another 2 run blast in the inning. the angels lead 4, nothing but the free swinging a's came back. second inning man on for seth brown hits one deep. and now to right field his 9th of the season cut the lead in same score in the 6th inning. now. iran for brent rooker. he's been are up in it this year in line or just over the wall in center. his 25th day the season, we're level but peace. the inning continues. the a's put on 2 for brown smacks down

for runner such as deebo samuel to make cuts take advantage of running lanes. all the things that he is really strong out, which is also why he's licking his chops right now at the opportunity. >>the side, we all force the return team. i feel like we have real big advantage of like you make one guy miss. i mean, this is you and a kicker and 9 times out of 10 kids not making list. >>and that does it here for us at kron-on will be back with the morning news at 7 o'clock. i'm stephanie rothman. thanks for watching.
