donating $75,000 to the police department here. and houston's police department donating $20,000 to officers and their families. just a show of support here to show how people are wrapping their arms around this community during their time of need. >> nice to see that generosity. thank you very much. protests demanding police reforms are continuing across the country including in the east bay. hundreds turned out for a black lives matter rally. the rally, of course, coming in the wake of last week's deadly police shootings in baton rouge and minnesota. a report is turning into back and forth battlebed who ordered it. >> the panel issued the final report yesterday.

a little fog. >> temperatures will get hot. >> that's what we are seeing in san francisco. helping to create that wide range in temperatures as we had cool weather the last couple of days. today it starts to warm up. 93 degrees in fairfield. palo alto 89 degrees. morgan hill 89 degrees and in oakland 76. into the rest of the week we feel more 90s. feeling like summer time. i will detail that coming up in less than ten minutes. looks like the freeway is getting attention right now. >> south bay starting to build. we are looking towards south for here. coming off the valley and again

home to our baby girl and to me. he wanted to try to reconcile. >> gordon was in jail on two counts of criminal sexual condu conduct. another tesla crashed and security and exchange commission wonders if the company had been honest enough. >> talking about last week you have the latest. >> this is something the fcc is asking questions. we have been asking them last week. should tesla have told investors about the fatal crash in florida earlier? the wall street journal says it is looking into the timeline. remember what happened. a man is killed while his tesla is in autonomous mode and tesla makes a secondary offering going back to the stock market with more stock to sell to raise more money. as it is raising that money it

had not at the time told investors about the fatal crash. at question, is that information material? would it have changed investors' minds? tesla says no. some users are reporting having problems checking out of amazon as they try to buy something online. today is amazon prime day as it puts thousands of products on sale. the echo is $50 cheaper today. good news for starbucks and chase employees. you talking about hundreds of thousands of americans. chase bank will give 18,000 employees a raise. those raises will go between $12 and $16.50 an hour. chase ceo jamie dimon says it will help the company attract and retain talented employees. starbucks says it will give its employees a raise starting in october. got to keep in mind how tight

the labor market is. economists say we are full employment where it is hard to attract a new employee so they don't want to lose the employees they have. a lot of companies are doing this. jobs we think of as minimum wage often don't pay minimum wage. >> how are they raising? what is starbucks doing on the backs of hard working coffee drinkers everywhere. if the cost of your latte seems to be higher this morning it is not your caffeine-deprived imagination. starbucks going up as much as 30 cents. the company is not saying which drinks will be affected. i guess you find out when you go to order your skinny caramel

degrees to low 70s for the rest of the early afternoon and then by late tonight we'll start to see clouds moving back in and 57 degrees early in the morning. palo alto 89. santa rosa 88 degrees and 92 in sant yauk. we have low 90s in parts of the tri-valley and high pressure is building just to the south of us. it still gives us just enough on shore flow to cause us to have cooler temperature s along the coast. this weekend the area of low pressure moves in to give us a stronger sea breeze and helps cool off temperatures in time for the weekend. as we get a look at san jose highs reaching into the upper 80s to low 90s which is well

below average. we will have highs in the 60s in san francisco by sunday and mid to upper 80s for the valleys by the end of the weekend. let's head to mike now. found flashing lights at the bay bridge. >> swe show you typical flowing and over in the east bay what you would expect maybe lighter for friday. not a big deal. a couple of incidents reported at the bay bridge. didn't see anything on toll plaza camera. this is exhaust from a building. just steam. looking at flashing lights. they have made their way over towards the far right lanes but then the secondary section. there are flashing light tlz and it is a distraction but looks like towards metering lights as you approach the bay bridge.

tracie potts live in washington, d.c. could we see that endorsement today? >> reporter: it is likely to happen today in about han hour and 15 minutes hillary clinton and bernie sanders have a campaign event together in new hampshire. new hampshire is the state where he beat her pretty badly. it was five months ago won by 22 points. now she is the one with enough delegates to get the nomination. we have been waiting to see if he is going to endorse her. today is expected to be that day. there was a lot going on behind the scenes. the standers camp wanted to make sure things they fought for were addressed in the platform. today we are expecting that endorsement. on the other side a lot of other work going on donald trump looking for a running mate.

he should expect an announcement although he hasn't made it clear. unlike mike pence who will be with trump at a fundraiser in indiana seems to be gung ho about being on the short list. then you have chris christie who was an early endorser of donald trump. and then there is mike flynn, the general retired who trump says he like as lot but is looking for someone with political experience. so crystal ball, probably not worth a lot right now because we don't know yet. we could get that announcement before the convention on monday. >> quite a bit of response leading up to picks. tracie potts live from d.c. governor jerry brown launched a campaign to extend some of the most ambitious climate change programs in the country. the center piece is the cap and

there is security concerns with the game's software. people notice when you sign in with your google credentials you give the game maker full access to google accounts. the app's maker which is a google spinoff company says it really shouldn't have set it up that way and it is going to fix the problem. in the meantime the company acknowledges the game erroneously requests full access permission but that it will only access basic information and no other google account information is or has been accessed or collected. the bottom line here is there is a disconnect between the legal language and what the companies involved say happened. the app says it has full access. says looking into tesla and what

it told investors or didn't about the fatal crash in florida. stocks up. roared ahead yesterday. dow industrials up 131 points. we have the great jobs news coming back on friday. great britain will have new prime minister tomorrow. there is stability there. >> things are settling down and good deals out there on the markets. >> good deals on amazon. it's prime day. >> that's right. >> don't even encourage her. the moon appears to be photo bombing the earth. a nasa camera on board the deep space climate bovatory captured these rare lunar transits. the images which feature fully lit far side of the moon where it captures between july 4 and
