greeting the newest and nine are. >> good to see you, man. >> doing all right? >> yes, doing all right. i'm great ready to go. round two today, the 49ers selected bay area product to help block for lance, aaron banks, from almeda, chosen with the 48 pick. thanks was a teammate of current niner, and tackle, mike , that's notre dame. this is a massive, massive human. 6'5", 330 pounds. and then, in round three, the niners treated up to 88. they picked running back trey sermon from ohio state. this guy ran for 331 yards in one day. the big ten title game. doesn't have blazing speed, but you can see here, he breaks a lot of tackles, and gives them two trays so far in this first draft. 107th pick was quarterback embry thomas out of michigan, who opted out of this past

season, but is good and man-to- man coverage. as for the raiders, they turned up with the niners, in round two. trip on, a versatile safety, some had projected as a first rounde a good value for the raiders there. they had back to back pics, 79 and 80, went defense. defense knocked them, a man from buffalo, and divine diablo, a safety out of virginia tech who could end up playing linebacker. the draft will continue to market the giants took the field tonight in a place that few people expected they would be. that would be first place in the n.l. west, with a record of 16-9, opening up a weekend series with the padres, in san diego. fernando in the padres looking down to take on the giants. buster with other ideas. cls sixth homer of the season already, giving the 0 ad posey, the last x me in month s badham, eric to tommy, can't make the play. trent grisham hustles home for the tying run, and in the sixth it is pro far with a two run,

davis nails, the quarterback, a third round pick, he goes to the houston texans. and paulson to the saints. the quarterback opted out last season, but a third round selection. these are my notes from the drop, i'm not sure how much you can see of this. i could be a doctor with these notes. because you and i-- i am looking at them, going what, what does this mean? what did i even right there? anyway, yes. i have deciphered three stanford players. something about >> text me the spelling. >> you have until 11:00. that is treatments, i hope he pans out. that's cool. >> a big role of the dice, a big risk. but, you know, kyle shanahan, poker face, he fooled pretty much everybody. but lance, he says, is the guy that they had zeroed in on, and they said, mentally he is off the charts. so he probably doesn't want to talk to me.

you might not be that interesting for him. >> but entertaining for the rest of us. >> that is true. that's true. >> thanks, larry. well, when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic, so you went to ross and saved big on shoes? oh, yeah! and snagged “yes, please” brands at “no way” prices. hurry in for fresh styles for the whole fam... ...and say cheers to spring with the best bargains ever... at ross. yes for less! this california family is on the job

>> the vaccination rate is really helping, we know our customers are happy about it, or they wouldn't be booking in such large numbers. >> reporter: but the latest modeling from the cdc says leaving middle seats empty reduces the risk of coronavirus exposure by as much as 57%. but the airline industry slammed the modeling, for not considering vaccines or the impact of masks. now, mandated on planes by the biden administration. harvard university found masks and heavily filtered air on board makes coronavirus transmission rates very low, regardless of where you sit. >> it is the many things together at the same time. they greatly reduce reduce the risk of air travel and in particular, provides a safe opportunity for people, given the ventilation, given the wearing of masks, given the disinfection on the planes, given the individual and personal hygiene attention, that does allow for the middle seats to be occupied.

>> reporter: industry groups think flying will look more like normal, as more people get vaccinated. some airlines are now bringing back in-flight food and drink service. something flight attendants fear could floor the message. >> as these policies are going away, and we are seeing full aircraft, it is more important than ever that we are vigilant about those mask policies. >> new ideas to bring passengers back are coming from all corners of the aviation industry. plane maker, air buzz, envisions a future of seats, arranged in pandemic friendly pods. this design, from the university university of cincinnati, imagines a productivity plat class, part plane, part copy has been >> i'm exceeded excited to see where some of these ideas might take us and where the industry might go in the future. every crisis can also be an opportunity. today, the u.s. announced foreign nationals, who have been in india the last two weeks, it would be bart bard

from coming to the u.s. a correspondent said on our 3:00 p.m. show, getting answers, thinks it is a necessary move with the growing covid crisis there. >> one may actually be able to argue it happened a little bit too late, but i don't want to say that we should have done it preemptively, but this has been really raging in india for a few weeks now. we have known what is happening, there's a couple of variants in india, that scientists have their eyes on, but the genomic testing is not up to speed where it should be. there is some immunity out there, but we are not in a place where we can completely say, hey, let's run covid wilder introduce another source of it. it is set, it is tragic, it is heartbreaking. i feel for everyone who is out there who has family or friends in india, but unfortunately we have to get this under control on a global scale. more it was shipped out from travis air force base today, as the initial aid from india arrived there today. the country has a dire need for oxygen related supplies. if you have questions about

>> one of the hard things about being a volunteer fire person is that you deal with family members, neighbors, people that you see daily. >> if you get a medical call, or a motor vehicle accident, where you know the person, they feel better, as they are looking at you, and oh, james, you know? but for the response, it is tough. going to a person's house that you know, you are seeing them at their worst, their most vulnerable. hopefully you are making their life easier. but, boy it takes a toll on you as a responder. >> when i first became chief, the first fire that we had was a structure fire, and it ended up being a triple fatal fire. two little girls, who were in preschool with my son, were in

the house. that was rough. it makes you question, you know, why am i doing this? but then, when you look at the whole package, you realize that, well, you know you have got to take the good with the bad. >> we didn't sign up for this. right? this is not what we signed up for. we are smarting fighting smaller fires, house fires, 80% of our calls or medical calls, but we didn't-- we are not career firefighters. but this fire came, it was in our area, and this is what we trained to do. >> i went to target a couple of days after the house burned down, and there were some firefighters there, shopping.

they, you know, were hoping that they had saved our homes, and we told him that he did they didn't, and they came and found me in the store and brought me gift cards. they went shopping for us, as firefighters working, and so it is just, i don't think there are any words to express how much this situation has shown me what they really do. it's just heartwarming and amazing and overwhelming, and it is everybody, it is the firefighters command it was the sheriff's and the chp. >> and somehow, 850 houses burned down, and no one died. >> it was amazing. >> there was a thank you picture, down at the bottom of the four line. it was like camps in. you know, it was like you are welcome.

that is what we did this for. >> that is the commonality, between volunteers and personal firefighters is down deep, even if you don't get paid, whatever department you work out, that is the underlying-- it is just people who want to help other people. >> it is a calling. you know? in your four decades of doing this, i can't tell you how many times people say, why do you do it? my simple answer is, i can't imagine not doing it. there is still a tremendous amount of people in the united states that wants to help everybody for nothing in return. yeah, because how could you not? how can you not want to help your fellow man? >> very powerful, as you can tell. you can watch the full

documentary, mountain strong, surviving the creek fire, on our abc seven bay area connected tv up, on amazon roku, apple fire tv, and android fire tv as well. some rain would really help us, ahead of fire season. coming up next,
