dan: at 6:00. let's go now to some good news.e decline in the bay area. have the highest vaccination rates in the state, and tomorrow local health officers are expected to announce plans for a possible end to the indoor mask mandate. cornell barnard is live in novato tonight. this is encouraging, but we should keep in mind the end may not happen, in terms of the indoor mask mandate, overnight, right? cornell: that's right, don't lose the masks just yet, but we should know tomorrow how long we will have to keep wearing them indoors. they are required in just about every county in the bay area except solano, but some business owners are getting tired of enforcing it. >> it is time. it has been 18 months. cornell: adam says if you are

working out of sonoma fit, you must still wear a mask.that n e, wear your mask, but it is time where we put that response building -- responsibility on the people and not small businesses. cornell: the bay area could announce new criteria on thursday for easing off researches like indoor masking. the santa clara county health officer told supervisors the numbers are improving. >> our intention and plan is to develop a set of tricks that we all share -- a set of metrics that we all share that are common across the region as to when to lift indoor masking. we are getting very close. cornell: many in the bay area are hoping for a target date when wearing a mask required anymore. >> i would be ok with that. it is hard to breathe.

co the mayor says trusts health officers but will continue wearing her mask. >> rule or no rule, i am going to still wear my mask inside. i am going to preferred outdoor dining and events whenever possible, and i bet i am going to be like a lot of people in the bay area that would rather play it safe than sorry. cornell: san mateo county says that even though vaccination rates are high, it is too early to list masking rules. >> there is one thing that is certain, and that is uncertainty with covid. i would not be surprised if in a month or two months if we are back to a mandate. cornell: let's hope we don't go backwards. dr. cody says some counties could meet metric goals sooner than others, talking about low case rates. whatever happens, it is likely that masks will still be required in hospitals and schools.

live in novato, cornell barnard. cornell. a week dropped their mask mandate because it was down to the cdc's moderate category for transmission. it has since climbed back to the substantial category. most of the bay area counties are in the same category. napa and solano counties are in the next category, with high transmission. ama: los angeles just passed one of the strictest rules in the country when it comes to showing proof of vaccination to enter indoor businesses. the city almost unanimously passed an ordinance that includes bars, jams, personal-care salons, and entertainment venues. exemptions are allowed for medical or religious reasons. you will have to show a negative covid test instead. after the mayor signs it, the requirement will take effect in november. it is similar to mandates in the

bay area. san francisco requires vaccination for indoor events. shopping malls are not included. a negative covid test does not exempt you from the vaccine n:at coy %%%%% ages 12 and older have received one vaccine dose. statewide, 61% of everyone in california is now fully vaccinated. ama: new research shows the covid-19 pandemic is responsible for the largest drop in life expectancy since world or to -- world war ii. out of 29 countries, the largest neckline is reported -- the largest decline is reported in the u.s. stephanie is in the newsroom with a closer look. reporter: several top scientists from across the world, some even

based in the bay area, tell us this is the most -- thiss e of most comprehensive c when it comes to life expectancy, it shows the u.s. is ranked among the worst compared to most of europe. this sea of white flags a somber reminder of what we have lost. more than 700,000 american lives, the equivalent of more than 10 fully packed levi's stadium's. >> the numbers are staggering and numbing. reporter: for the first time, scientists are getting a clear perspective of the impact to our life expectancy. >> the total of 700,000 deaths are raising two years of life expectancy, or 1.5 years -- erasing 2.5 years of life expect and see, or 1.5 years for women. reporter: out of 29 countries, which included most of europe,

the u.s., and chile, the u.s. reported the largest loss. adult men lost 2.2 years, women 1.5 years. >> in the last 120 years, we have only seen this kind of dropped twice. once was from the 1918-19 influenza, and the second time was from world war ii. reporter: this study is not a prediction of how long people will live or how many years are cut short, but a snapshot of time during the loss of life throughout the pandemic. >> two point two years of life expectancy lost in u.s. males in 2020 is unheard of. men are more fragile than women in terms of life expectancy. they do not live as long as women. plus, men are more likely to have gotten this and the more severe forms. reporter: especially among minority populations in the u.s. , the drop in life expectancy even more alarming. >> if the population as a whole

has lost 1.5 for two years, other studies have shown the size of that drop is maybe two or three times higher than that for black and hispanic populations. reporter: he says vexing hesitancy among these groups is partially to blame. as we see death rates go down, these estimates will climb back up, but as a scientists point out, life expectancy in our country has not increased much over the past decade, so the hope is it will improve the more people we get vaccinated. ama: why do scientists think the u.s. reported the largest drop? stephanie: solomon says in his opinion, the u.s. response to the pandemic has been weaker compared to most other european countries, citing everything from a lack of a coordinated political response to mix messaging on vaccines. the reason he pointed to is most european countries have managed to increase their vaccinations over time while the u.s. has actually plateaued, especially

in the past few months since june. ama: makes sense. thanks so much. a judge has ordered texas to suspend its new law that banned most abortions. the law makes abortions illegal -- most allrtegal after six weeks. the judge ordered the state to suspend the law today, which took effect last month. dan: we are seeing video of the moments just before and fbi agent shot and killed an oakland man about three weeks ago. melanie woodrow has the story. >> jonathan was a great individual. he made everybody laugh. >> jackie says she has known jonathan cortez since childhood. they had been dating on and off for the past year. on the 17th, she said the neighborhood boys called her. >> can see, please come home right away, jonathan was -- auntie, please come home right away, jonathan was shot. reporter: an fbi deputized as a

marshall was preparing to serve warrants on cortez. the i team obtained this surveillance video from outside the store, which shows the officer right around the building with his weapon drawn. it does not shy what happened inside the store. it is said cortez pulled a gun. >> the store, bumping into the agent. the agent pushed him back. cortez took multiple steps back, at which point he drew a handgun from his back. the agent fired a single round, striking mr. cortez in the torso. reporter: cortez's girlfriend says that is not what doctors told her about how he died. >> she was -- the doctors told us he was shot through his right arm and into his heart. it can be so easy to just nip this whole situation in the bud by just releasing that footage that was taken from the store. reporter: surveillance video

from outside the store shows other agents arriving seconds later, but it is the video from inside the store that could explain more. >> we want answers. reporter: the fbi says the oakland police department took possession of the two surveillance videos from inside the store. an opd spec person tells the i team this is still an ongoing and active investigation -- spokesperson tells the i team this is still an ongoing and active investigation. cortez's girlfriend says that without the video, she does not know what is true. >> jonathan spent seven dollars for his life. reporter: the fbi is not releasing the status of the agent who shot and killed cortez. lara: i'm in oakland, where a former top administrator at mcclymonds high school says he was retaliated against for trying to expose alleged discrimination and substandard conditions. sandhya: cool and breezy this

afternoon, well below average for this time of year. i will let you know when sprinkles may come in, coming up. >> keeping kids out of trouble could be as simple as listening to and learning from them. i have the promising findings of a new program being p

don't worry, ma. we'll be there soon. “we?!” is this “the one.” well...let's say i found the one who takes me to another level. always stays calm under pressure. most importantly... the one that helps me discover the coolest places. this sounds wonderful! come outside. i'll introduce you. definitely the one! introducing the all-new nissan frontier. dan: we come back with a live look at the golden gate bridge. california has deemed today clean-air day. rides on the san francisco bay ferry were free.

officials are suggesting people take public rest rotation instead of driving because it is better for the environment -- take public transportation instead of driving because it is better for the environment. traffic is routinely topping 90% of pre-pandemic levels, so almost back to normal. you are looking live at the richmond center fell bridge, the bay bridge toll plaza in the san mateo bridge on your right, all moving very smoothly. the antioch branch has already fully returned to 2019 levels of traffic. ama: tonight, we look at the latest information out of the inequity report, about the inequities in five categories important to all of us -- housing, health, policing, the environment, and education. the tool found black and brown students across bay area schools were disciplined far more than white students. a potential solution, as simple as writing a letter.

this new approach shows promise in keeping students in school and out of the justice system. julian joins us live. julian: the findings are very promising. the intervention led by stanford university in conjunction with oakland unified school shows extremely promising early results, and the program is all about disrupting the school to prison pipeline. it turns out it all starts with listening to these young people. >> tiny more one-on-one time with teachers because i do not learn as fast as other kids. julian: these letters are filled with simple requests and basic information a student wants a teacher to know about them, like "i am serious about graduating." each letter written by an oakland unified student getting back to school after being detained and spending time in the alameda county juvenile justice center. these letters are part of an

intervention led by stanford university psychology professor and researcher greg walden. the goal, to reduce the likelihood middle and high schoolers will return to juvenile hall. >> these kids are predominantly african-american boys. they are, on average, about 15 or 16 years old. it is so easy to put people in a box. julian: of the students detained two reentered oakland schools, 69% were black, 25% identified as latino, according to the district. the intervention was delivered as students reentered the classroom. it described their goals and needs and listening to stories from older kids who were once in their shoes, but managed to turn things around. >> i knew coming back from juv y was going to be hard. it felt like one wrong step and i would be right back in jail. i never wanted that. julian: the kids would pick an

adult that would help them achieve their goals, and they receive a letter saying they had been tapped. >> a student shows me? somebody believes in what i do? it is life-changing for the teacher and student. julian: the coordinator for justice involved youth said that the results are inspiring. >> they can see that everybody makes mistakes, but making a mistake does not mean that you are a mistake. julian: prove that every child is worth fighting for, and that changing a young life may be as simple as listening and meeting them where they are. >> key hope is this kind of practice can become a thing -- the hope is this kind of thing can become a practice. >> they helped me a lot and i was able to raise my grades, so i am a senior and i am walking for graduation in spring. julian: the researchers wanted

to point out that the initial study was small, but the findings were extremely successful. of the students that actually went through the intervention, had the letter delivered to an adult in high school, only one third of the was advised committed another crime. other students that did not get the one-on-one attention, 2/3 of them committed another crime and found themselves detained and wrapped up in the juvenile justice center. the program will be expanded to three other school systems, san francisco unified and also a couple school district sacramento -- school districts in sacramento. ama: good to hear of the success and expansion, julian. this story was powered by equity report. check out the website, ouramericanabc.com, or scan the qr code on your screen. on the website, you can dig into the data where you live, see how we measured inequity and what is
