not technically an alert which means that it would be hazardous for all of us. right now i'm looking at a lot of cloud cover, that is the gray you see covering a lot of our neighborhoods this morning. and the south bay, it is not one of those. you are waking up to mainly sunny conditions. but just to the north, that is where the cloud deck ends. 58 if you are heading out right now. near 60 at the coast today, a little less sunshine than yesterday. 70 to 79 sunshine elsewhere. and hayes. for 4:00, 77 to 87 which is pretty close to average. and a very comfortable evening on the way with temperatures mainly knin the 60s and 70s. issues of race and social justice are things that we are particularly focused on here at abc 7 as part of our efforts to build a better bay area. in san francisco, "black lives matter" posters will be going up in all police stations.

be neutral ground, i guess. >> as a next dmexican heritage , i don't think that when you are saying "black lives matter," i think that you are seg gra gating a certain portion of the population. >> reporter: so clearly not everyone is sold on the idea. others for different reasons though. we posted the story to our abc 7 news facebook page. one viewer commenting what is the point of the signs, that is not real change to the system. another person commented that is not good enough, what good will a sign do if the bad apples are still in the batch. we now know the city of san francisco has 30 days to put those "black lives matter" posters up. again, in each of the police stations. julian glover, abc 7 news. new developments this morning, the city of vallejo is seeking an outside criminal investigation into the police department's alleged destruction

of evidence from a deadly officer-involved shooting. this is body camera video that shows the shooting of sean monterrosa last month. the city says it discovered that the windshield of a police vehicle that the officer fired through in this individual why was destroyed and also that the car was put back into service without permission. the city already requested the solano county d.a. or the kindergarten investigate the shooting. and now the city is requesting this destruction of evidence be included in that investigation. the city says an unnamed police department employee has been placed on administrative leave. we reached out to vallejo police for comment but we haven't heard back. at the live desk, i'm following developing news right now involving covid-19 vaccine trials and hackers. and we're specifically talking about russia here. the u.s., britain and canada are accusing russia of trying to steal information from

researchers, it involves a hacking group calledapt-29, also known as cozy al tee nations believe the group is part of the russian intelligence service and that they are trying to steal intellectual property. it is unclear whether vladimir putin knew about the vaccine hacking, but officials believe such intelligence would be highly prized. most bay area counties now officially on the state's wash list because of the increasing coronavirus activity. there are just two exceptions, san francisco county and san mateo county. alameda and santa clara counties are the newest additions. this list means that they have to close gyms, hair salons, nail salons, indoor malls, indoor churches and nonessential offices if they already haven't. however, alameda county is actually getting back a couple things. one of them is outdoor dining. so the green light given to

number of people, more than 108,000 a day. two local doctors say that they don't think that this backlog will get any better until there is a national testing strategy. happening today, facebook founder mark zuckerberg will host dr. fauci in a live conversation streamed online. it is expected the two will talk about progress on the vaccine to protect people from covid-19, they will also discuss ways that all of us can help flatten the curve. that will be on facebook at 2:00. plans for schools in the north bay, the new information marin county has revealed about what to expect for the next semester. and right now, we're taking a live look at the big board sft new york stock exchange, down this morning about 150 points. the another update on how the markets are doing coming up. and we're job hunting with jobina, she will tell us the role open right now for people >> first in our forecast.

shifts are available 24/7 and health benefits have been extended to part-time employees and their families. the wheatons hope that that will attract more applicants, specifically people with patience and commitment. two characteristics they say are must haves for potential caregivers. >> our caregivers are the basic frontline of taking care of our elderly population in this pandemic. and they are heros. >> and here are the job details for a caregiver with visiting angels. you must be on the california state registry or be willing to sign up, you need a valid driver's license and among the responsibilities, you provide companionship to seniors and help them with all their duties as assigned. the wheatons tell me that some experience is required here, but that can be something as like taking care of a family member if you have had experience doing something like that. they really need help.

and you know, i was really touched with this conversation with them because they were explaining the relationship between some of their clients and the caregivers. some people have been with each other for upwards of ten years. so they really need people with commitment as well. >> it is a demanding and tough job, but one that i think probably has a lot of benefits in the way you feel about what you do every day to help people. so i wish everyone who is applying good luck. always good to see these segments. thank you. and we're learning now more about going him's neogle's next vags, it is a temp tattoo that contains sensors that are triggered either by being touched or swiped. google is calling them skin masks. but it remains unclear exactly how mountain view based google intends to use this technology
