downwards on the building. >> reporter: the fire destroyed the roof of the business and the interior. firefighters had it knocked down by around 1:00 this morning. one firefighter was treated at the scene but the department believes he might have been sick beforehand, fighting this just exacerbated that. we see a couple of scorch marks on the dumpsters outside the business. fire department looking to see whether the fire started at one of those bins and spread to the building or the other way around. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. it is 4:33. and happening today, guns, handcuffs, and now cameras. starting this morning police officers in the bay ear's biggest city will now be wearing body cameras. san jose police department will be issued cameras this morning and will spend several hours training with them in the field. last year the department field tested them for several months and now they become standard for officers on patrol and s.w.a.t. units. videos in incidents involving

alto. the killer stabbed a woman who was found dead inside her home multiple times. that was 65-year-old jenny shee who was found dead in her home on creekside drive. investigators say they don't have any suspects at this point but they think that the killers most likely knew shee who was a local businesswoman and realtor. only in the silicon valley a security robot had a run-in with a toddler quite literally. now the robotic company and toddler's mom are responding. >> it happened last thursday at stanford shopping center. 16-month-old har win change was with his gamily walking a few inches from his mother when he bumped into the robot. he fell down. but then that 300 pound robot, you see it there, it ran over his foot. paramedics checked on the toddler. his foot was swollen and bruised but luckily not broken. >> and the robot did not stop at all. and it just keep on moving forward. and it ran over my son's, i

giants -- >> oh, yeah, buster posey was frontnd center last night, so was the stars from the local ones were shining last night in san diego for baseball's all-star game. there is steven. you saw him, he was the lone representative from the the oakland as. johnny cueto started this game and got worked. two home runs. that first one was from eric cosmer. also homer off of cueto, three of american league's four runs. the al wins 4-2. and there is a lot at stake because that means the american league will now have home field advantage for the wieorld serie.

>> so americana. i love it. >> it's all fun and games until you lose home field advantage, mom always said. >> home cooking right now on the weather front, kari. >> you can cook outside on the sidewalk in the bay area. just put the pan right there on the sidewalk and just let the bacon sizzle. as we go into the rest of the day it will be getting very hot. as we look live outside. and we did have low clouds in spots. this is our view from emeryville looking toward the bay bridge. you see people out there getting this wednesday started. as we go into the rest of the day it will be starting out nice and cool but warming up quickly. we're now at 60 degrees in oakland and concord. 55 degrees in live more and 54 in palo alto. as we go hour by hour in livermore, temperatures go from the 50s into the 70s already by 10:00. it continues to warm up quickly. 84 degrees by lunchtime. 92 by 2:00 in the afternoon. so if you have some plans, you need to do something outside. it's best to get it done early

in the morning. still warm at 6:c00 at 88 degrees. look at the highs today. up to 80 degrees in oakland. 92 in concord. starting to see some more 90s here and upper 80s for the inner bay. and palo alto today up to 83 degrees. our wind flow very weak today. it's actually coming in more from the north. so only the coastal areas will stay cool. also for san francisco, highs reaching into the upper 60s today. no help for anyone away from the coastline. so our winds will only be at about five, maybe ten miles an hour. we have a stagnant wind. a lot of sun. and some hot temperatures. the air quality goes way down. so i think the air quality will be the worst in the east bay. unhealthy, especially during the hottest times of the day with high levels of ozone in the air. so make sure you -- if you have breathing problems, you kind of spend more time inside and in the air conditioning. high pressure continues to build. it makes it hot in the valleys

for the next couple of days. it will be a cooler weekend with that morning fog returning. so as we look at the weekend forecast once again looking much better into the mid 60s for san francisco. some 80s for the peninsula as well as the east bay and some 90s coming down from the 90s into the 80s by sunday. i'll have another look at the forecast coming up. let's head over to mike for an update on the crash. >> a crash i showed folks on the map. the tow truck was there but it was over in the parking lot out of lanes. they don't have all the cash lanes open on the left. that's why two lanes are backed up. two lanes we're not using them right now. the map shows you approaching the maze and past the bay bridge. no metering lights on there yet. a smooth drive for the rest of the bay. san mateo bridge we're talking about that construction. wet will me show you the cameras. westbound, i sue some flashing lights way off in the distance on the flat section. i can't read it but it does say

caltrans and talk about the closure. from the foster city camera, they've just moved that truck in the last seven minutes. we should see a smoother drive. back to you. >> mike, thank you very much. one month later, remembering the attack on the lgbg in orlando. draped in rainbows to honor the pulse nightclub shooting victims. meantime, the city devastated by the deadliest mass shooting in history paid tribute to the 49 people killed in that massacre. 49 hand-made white crosses were displayed last night outside a downtown orlando history center. hundreds also attended memorials outside the pulse nightclub and the medical centers where many of the victims were taken for aid. in the meantime the calls for gun control following the orlando shooting of course just the latest mass shooting have gone largely unanswered on capitol hill. the congress is about to go on a month long recess until fall. >> you'll recall this sit-in by house democrats last month calling for a vote on gun

control measures. the congress called protest a political stunt. despite that, votes on four gun control bills were held, none passed. now republicans say there will be no votes this week before congress adjourns until september. now to decision 2016 and the new nbc news poll. democratic presidential candidate hillary clinton's lead over republican donald trump narrowed to just three points this week. last week she was ahead by five points. the poll comes off after the fbi says clinton was careless to send classified information via private e-mail server while secretary of state. clinton received a boost from her former rival bernie sanders. >> he endorsed clinton saying she'll make an outstanding president and he is proud to stand with her. a pretty significant change in his rhetoric from a few months ago. the democratic national convention two weeks away, yesterday's an founsment was a show of unity for the democratic

party. >> in the meantime, donald trump rallied hundreds of supportersly "american idol" long side potential vp pick indiana governor mike pence. as a neighbor to ohio and michigan pence and his state could help solidify the base in swing states. trump is expected to announce his running mate later this week. in san diego the judge will decide if video should be released of donald trump testifying about his failed trump university. he's the same indian in born judge that trump slammed earlier this year for his mexican heritage. trump's testimony has already been released in transcript form but trump's attorney say it may be ready made ammo for television ads for the clinton campaign. >> all right. self driving car for everybody
