excited and they have a parking lot out back which is private property where they will be allowed to offer hair cuts and set up some chairs here on the sidewalk out here next to the restaurant with outdoor dining but this requires approval from the city. lots of different agencies that they're all having to deal with hoops to jump through. but they're all willing to try something, anything to try to stay in business. live in walnut creek, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> thank you, amy. marin county adopting new civil penalties to enforce county health orders related to covid-19. the board of supervisors will meet to discuss this emergency ordinance and allow the framework that will allow county personnel to help law enforcement address safety violations. business violations is going to be the main focus here, but enforcement areas could be expanded based on public health risk. the meeting starts at 9:00. a glimmer of hope during the coronavirus pandemic as more than one vaccine shows promising

55% opposed defunding police compared to 40% in favor. however, the poll does find a significant shift in the public attitudes on racial discrimination. reggie. >> interesting. thank you, jobina. the missouri couple caught on video pointing loaded guns at a group of protesters are facing charges. mark and patricia face unlawful use of a weapon charge and also face fourth degree assault. the couple's attorney called the charges, quote, disheartening and said that no crime was committed. last month the couple stood outside their mansion while about 500 people marched along a private street towards the home of the st. louis mayor. new video from the ap i-team firing rubber bullets at the protesters. this is part of a federal civil rights lawsuit filed over the weekend against the sjpd.

still spill through parts of the bay. we'll have 60s not only half moon bay, san francisco, oakland and also richmond. low to mid 70s around the bay. some upper 70s in the south bay and north bay and low to mid 80s in the east bay. let's get back to reggie. new overnight, it was a busy night for fire crews in oakley. they responded to three fires in eight hours. this was the latest one at a home on dutch slew road. you can see the boats and cars destroyed. a man at the scene said he started it but did it by accident. he said he was putting gas in his generators when it spilled and sparked a fire. san mateo county is the only bay area county that is still not on the state's watch list but that could soon change. county leaders are planning to announce restrictions later today to stop the spread of coronavirus and build a better bay area. the county's case rate of 110.4 cases per 100,000 people as of friday exceeds the state's benchmark of 100 per 1,000

residents. the average rate of cases is 124 per 100,000. julian glover has more on what that information could mean. >> goodern morning, cumaukumas. we're at the end of the diving board. currently the situation the county finds itself in and see if it will be added to the california coronavirus watch list at some point today. this is the news they were fearing since about last friday and for several days san mateo the only county in the bay area not on that watch list. but county leaders, again, believe that could change again as the numbers continue to tick up. business owners caught in the middle. they have been taking advantage of what could be their last day's open for the foreseeable future. >> the landscape of san mateo county is small businesses and we have to do our part. >> if we do get shut down the

best option to go outdoors. >> if san mateo county joins the rest of the bay area and does get added to the state's watch list, churches, hair salons, nail salons, gyms, barbershops and tattoo parlors will all have to close down or potentially move those operations outside until those numbers go back down. again, if we hear anything from the state today that san mateo county is going to be added to the state's watch list you can expect a push alert on the abc7 news app. julian glover, abc7 news. where does your county stand on the state watch list. you can check out the entire state with the interactive feature at abc7news.com. you can see if it has been added to the watch list and tell you not only how long each region has been on the list, but why the state is keeping an eye on the spread of coronavirus there. in the south bay, three pop-up testing sites will open today in santa clara county. two of them are in san jose at

the county at sa ay service cen auditorium and a testing site in gilroy at the south county annex. oakland mayor libby schaaf is saying no thanks to president trump's plan to send federal agents to respond to protests to cities nationwide. >> oakland is a mess. we're not going to let this happen in our country. we're going to have more federal law enforcement. that i can tell you. in portland, they've done a fantastic job. they've been there three days. >> the comments come after federal law enforcement sent to portland, oregon, because of weeks of protest in that city. the move has angered portland officials with the oregon state attorney general filing suit to remove the agents. speaking on "midday live" mayor schaaf said no to the president's offer but asked for federal help to do something else. >> i don't need law enforcement in oakland. i need testing. i need personal protective equipment. we need direct income support

for people who are out of work. >> governor newsom says california will also decline a federal response to protests. the oakland police department says demonstrations have been largely peaceful and the agency would not ask for federal help. now to a caught on camera moment that is getting a lot of attention online. but is it for the right reasons? this morning, we are learning more about what really happened. carlton is the man in the silver mercedes and he says the people in the other car were tailgating him. at the stop sign the couple got out and approached him and got into an argument. despite hearing the woman accuse him of not being able to afford his car, the comments on social media don't accurately depict what happened. >> i'll make one thing clear, she never said the n word. she never said anything racial. a slur or anything to me just think before you really act and especially in this day, you

don't know who's taping. >> carlton says that he was in the wrong for responding aggressively and does not want the woman to suffer any consequences. the egiants and the a's go head to head and this time the game is going to be played in san francisco at oracle park. by the way, the giants beat the a's in oakland. the first time we saw pro sports return to the bay area since the pandemic began and jobina fortson with a powerful moment before the game trending online. jobina. >> thank you, reggie. good morning. during the national anthem, several giants players as well as gabe kapler took a knee. follows recent protests after the death of george floyd and the push for social justice. after the game, kapler explained why he joined the players in kneeling. >> i wanted to use my platform to demonstrate my dissatisfaction with the way we've handled racism in our

country. i wanted to demonstrate my dissatisfaction with our clear, systemic racism in our country. and i wanted them to know that they got to make their own decisions and we would respect and support those decisions. >> kneeling for the anthem started in 2016 by former 49ers quarterback colin kaepernick. to call attention to these issues, the giants won last night 6-2. kumasi? >> thank you. the coliseum looked a bit different at last night's game. you can see the cardboard cutouts there replacing fans in the stands. we even saw some oversized teddy bears behind home plate. but this is really one of the biggest highlights. alyssa nakken of the giants made history when she took over as

the first base coach in the late innings. the first woman to hold a full-time coaching position at the major league level and we say congratulations. and maybe you go girl. that's what i say. yes. >> yeah, at some point in time we're going to have to stop talking about all these firsts. but nice to see them happening while we're here to see it. but, yeah, let's hope it's not the last. it won't be. let's talk about what is going on weather wise. hi, everybody. let's start in our inland east bay neighborhood. our neighborhood numbers there. a lot of mid to upper 50s with more cloud cover as you head into the tri-valley and then out around say antioch and brentwood where it is about 60 right now. even some 60 to 61 degree temperatures along the east bay shore and mountain view and into the south bay. let's see what to expect with your commute today. about 56. cloudy. and a little mist and drizzle hanging in the air for the morning commute, especially in our higher elevations and near

the coast and then those breezes out there right now and even faster over a broader area from north of the bay bridge through the delta as we head into the evening commute. all right, for the north bay. 59 at 8:00. try to break out a little sunshine and 63 at 10:00 and mid to upper 70s from about 1:00 to 6:00. back into the 60s by 8:00. we won't escape the 60s but for maybe an hour or two along the east bay with a mixture of sun and clouds today and mid to upper 60s and san francisco 50s through 10:00. a lot of cloud cover and mid 60s for a couple of hours this afternoon and then down to 60 degrees by 8:00. all right, we'll take a look at the warm weekend on the way, at least compared to temperatures right now. how about more on that commute. hi, jobina. >> hi, mike. thank you. good morning, everyone. as you head out the door right now if you need to go to work, i want to let people know riding around oakland or into oakland, the fire that we've been covering all morning long is still an issue and impacting our local streets in the area.

you see that purple line there on your screen. for martin luther king jr. way, it is closed betwee 29th and 34th streets as crews work there in that area. this will impact people coming out of 980 on to the 18th street off ramp there. move over and bring drive times in for the rest of the bay area. walnut creek to dublic a 13-minute ride. santa rosa to san francisco 48 minutes and highway 1 to los gatos. live look showing you an overall picture of the bay bridge and slow as you make your way into san francisco. you can see it's actually moving a little bit slower right now. metering lights came on at 6:08 and also a new crash reported between a big rig and a car and this is on eastbound 80 right at the fourth street off ramp and you may see as it you approach the area. injuries have been reported. reggie and kumasi. >> thank you. the big shift to bikes during the stay-at-home era. what google just now added on your phone to take advantage of that trend.

right now we're taking a live look at the big board at the new york stock exchange. new this morning up 225 points. another update on what the markets are doing next. >> when i heard we could reopen i cried. i was so excited. the only thing that could stop us is rain. >> could your next hair cut be out on the streets? we have a live report on the bay

you're never more than seven minutes away from your accuweather forecast. >> this is abc7 mornings. >> this is a live look from sfo this morning. you can see the clouds are really low and wouldn't be surprised if there was a little drizzle as we look off towards the west. let's talk about your planner today. mid to upper 50s. pretty much where we were yesterday but during the afternoon hours 60s at the coast and 81 inland and refreshing breeze and temperatures maybe a degree or two cooler than yesterday. those thunderstorms up in the sierra. look at that. causing a high fire danger.
