control. >> critics of rent control point out a discourages new construction but, scott mcgrew, they don't care about that. >> this may be on the ballot in mountain view. voters are going to vote their best interests, right? nothing wrong with that. this is pure economics. rent caps are a form of price control. price control discourages new supply. new construction. why would you build housing in mountain view if there are limits to how much the owner of the building could charge? now, as you point out, sam, if you already rent in mountain view you don't care about future apartments, you care about your apartment now, right? all the construction we've seen in the city of mountain view for instance along evelyn of knew, result of higher rent. rent caps only cap rent, not house prices. if there are rent caps in mountain view, if those are voted in, logically fewer apartments will be built, more homes will be built that faye vors people who can afford expensive homes, hurts people with lower income who want apartments. silicon valley speaking out

all week. guys, if the s&p closes higher today it will be the best week for that index since 1998. surprised we're doing as well on the bets that we're going to have a higher opening. we'll see. four days in a row have been phenomenal. >> saying it's been since 1998 we've had five days trading. >> five wins on the s&p 500 in a row. >> wow. >> that's a long time. >> that is long time. well, we have a recall to tell you about. particularly if you have little kids or maybe a little dog that you're trying to protect. ikea is recalling more than 100,000 child safety gates and the extensions that you might use. ikea says the locking mechanism can open unexpectedly and thus be a danger to children. there have been 55 reports of incidents worldwide including 10 injuries that resulted in concussions and cuts and bruising. consumers should stop using the products and return them to an ikea store for a full refund. we will put a list of the items on would be nbcbayarea.com.

that looks familiar. >> a couple of those. >> we did at some point. once we were done with the kids we had them for the puppy. >> keep using them. >> just keep them around. unless they're under recall. 6:18. we're going the check your weather and you showed us a peek of the weekend forecast earlier today. it looks gorgeous. >> it will be a nice weekend, especially after having to deal with such hot weather the past couple of days. effort inland valleys. and still nice and cool on the coastline. a few have san bruno mountain. in between you see the sun coming up. so a beautiful start to this friday morning. and also a great weekend ahead. as we get a live look at all of our temperatures across the bay area, we start out as you head out the door in the mid 50s for the south bay. 57 degrees in livermore and concord and 58 degrees in oakland. a "spare the air" alert also in effect again today. and it will be especially high unhealthy in the east bay where

there will be some high levels of ozone. they advise you to take some public transportation or bike or walk to work if you can. try to reduce the amount of ozone but if you have breathing problems you should most likely limit your time outdoors during the hottest hours of the day. in san francisco, we will see the high of 66 degrees. 77 in palo alto. and 88 in san jose. still some low to mid 90s in parts of the east bay. the ocean breeze does keep those temperatures cooler right along the coast. but we'll all get some relief this weekend as this cold front, this area of low pressure drops in. may even produce some scattered showers near redding by saturday into sunday. for us we're in for some cooler than average temperatures. for san francisco, so it stays once again cool and foggy along the coastline. slightly cooler than average and this weekend is looking nice with a high of 90 still in the tri-valley tomorrow. coming down to 85 with some mid 60s in san francisco. and the north bay will be up to 83 degrees on sunday. i'll have another look at the

forecast coming up. mike is watching the benefits of a lighter friday commute. >> kari, for the most part in the bay seeing just in general the benefit of the light friday commute, also seeing as we look for recovery over here. earlier crash south 880, 92 is off on the shoulder. it's a distraction. big rig involved. minor slowing there. second crash at industrial isn't causing any slowing at all. and that's also out of lanes. over here the bay bridge is now seeing good recovery after a big backup and a horrible look at the start of your commute. things are clearing up. we'll give you two live looks. we have the backup at the toll plaza. things are moving visibly much better here and you don't trust me on that let's look back over to berkeley curve where we had the backup coming off the berkeley curve and heading down out of berkeley and in towards the bay bridge. the east shore freeway moves well. berkeley curve itself moving good from our emeryville camera. the backup is moving well. unless you're carpooling and then you have a little slowing. that's a bummer. golden gate bridge, issue.

fog now creeping down across the span. we're going to send it back to you guys. >> thank you very much. if the road is not your thing you use public transportation instead, specifically b.a.r.t. bart riders should know the fremont line will have weekend cloe sheer showers. it's going to impact the last two stations of the fremont line. the union city and fremont stations are going to be closed all weekend for traffic repairs. this starts again at 9:00 p.m. and it's going to last through all of sunday. buses will shuttle riders between south hayward and fremont. coming up next -- i'm chris, with the money we've put back in people's pockets. straight ahead. t yrs t

area families who witnessed firsthand this terror. good morning on this friday. i'm sam brock. >> i'm kris sanchez. much more coming out of nice this morning, in just a moment, but first, a look at our weather here at home. >> it will be a nice day across the bay area. we start out with some sunshine in spots and low clouds and fog near the coastline and also into the north bay. it's in the upper 50s and 66 degrees will be the high in san francisco. 84 degrees in the east bay. and 90 in the south bay. still some areas getting pretty warm in the north bay, expect a high of 87 degrees. not as hot as yesterday. but that will be the trend as we head into the weekend as we continue to see more on these temperatures coming down from the 90s and back into the 70s and 80s as normal for this time of year. breezy wind in san francisco feeling nice at 66 today and dropping into the low to mid 60s for the weekend. we will talk about what more to expect over the next few days. that's coming up in a few

minutes. heading over to mike now to see quite a few disturbances. >> that's right. first start with silicon valley. i was looking with our san jose camera. thought i put it in the request but i did not. my fault. just a tiny bit slower. friday night for the bay but just off of 680 we have work with a gas line repair. damian on the scene, we'll let him handle that alum rock is closed right now. meanwhile, move over here toward the approach and san mateo bridge. the bridge is fine and the overnight road work from 7:00 to 5:00 this morning. that cleared. but we'll have that road work continuing on the and tomorrow night as they're doing that repair for that big pothole. and over here southbound 880 recovers kind of holds steady at a slower drive past the scene as you approach that 92 intercha e interchange. the bay bridge, two earlier crashes at treasure island. both cleared. second one caused a big backup and metering lights are on as a

result. good improvement as you come off the berkeley curve and approaching the area. no problem for the east shore freeway and the rest of the maze moves well. as we look at the rest of your commute and we see friday light as you would expect, there's the upper east shore freeway and, again, that's the biggest slow down is hayward heading down towards the san mateo bridge but it's clear once you get on the span. back to you. now an update to breaking news out of france. within the last few hours we learned that a father and a son, you see them here, they were among the dozens of people killed when a driver plowed through a crowd in nice yesterday. they are from the austin area in texas. family members confirm sean copeland and his 11-year-old son did not survive that terror attack. in a statement from the family, it said, quote, we are heartbroken and in shock over the loss. [ gunfire ] >> you can hear the gunshots in that new video coming in to the newsroom this morning. >> that shows the moment, kris, that police fired into the cab

of the truck, killing the driver in that white panel truck. here's the latest information from the scene. at least 84 people are confirmed dead. again, including those two americans. dozens more are hurt and many of them critically. just minutes ago france's president said 50 people are, quote, between life and death which means this death toll right now is extremely fluid. again, you are looking at thousands of people who are out on the promenade in nice last night celebrating bastille day. obviously a day acknowledging french independence. fireworks, celebration, quickly turning into horror. now, just moments ago authorities identified the suspect as a tunisian man living in the city. we are working to learn more. today another fallen dallas police officer will be laid to rest. the funeral for 40-year-old michael krol takes place later this morning. one of five officers ambushed

last week. he served with the dallas police department for nine years. his burial will take place at a ceremony in south field, michigan. san francisco police officers are expected to be in attendance. also being laid to rest today alton terming, the man who was shot and killed by a police officer in baton rouge last week. cellphone video of the incident sparked outrage and protests including the one in dallas last thursday that turned into a sniper event. the funeral service is scheduled for this morning at southern university of baton rouge. reports say reverend al sharpton is among the people who are expected to speak. here at home, the family of jahi mcmath will soon have the chance to court to prove that she is still alive. doctors declared mcmath brain dead after a botched tons s tonsillectomy in 2013. the family sued for negligence. as long as mcmath is considered legally dead, the limits on

awards are much lower if she's alive the hospital has to pay much more. the appeals court this week ordered the case back to trial court to better term the validity of the declaration. the hearing is scheduled for october. a live look now at the golden gate bridge this morning as we have new details about a plan to install suicide nets. despite the extra costs now associated with it officials say they are moving for ward with that plan to install the nets. original fally they were estimated to cost $76 million. but then the bidding started and the two bids submitted were way above that. the low bid came in at $142 million. the high bid was $174 million. about 100 million more than they estimated. bridge officials say that installation could be delayed but they're still moving forward with the plan. last year 33 people ended their lives by jumping off of the golden gate bridge.

we were expecting momentous announcement today, donald trump will not say who his running mate is this morning as promised. the republican presumptive nominee is delaying the announcement because of the tragedy in france. >> we think we have some inkling of who he is going to select. several news agencies are reporting that trump is going to pick indiana governor mike pence. tracie, despite all the reports, trump says he still has not made up his mind. >> yeah, he said that in an interview there's some confusion about that. our folks who work with the campaign said that when he started hearing those reports early in the day yesterday he was irritated by it. he had not talked to pence yet even though pence was flying to new jersey on a private jet overnighting at a trump golf course. theoretically in anticipation of this announcement this morning. but then trump said he had not made a final decision. and then one of his top advisers said today he thinks trump has decided who that person is going to be and that we will know before the convention starts on monday. so a bit up in the air.

meantime, new polling is showing that trump is behind in some key states, colorado, virginia, north carolina, and florida with hillary clinton holding leads beyond the margin of error in all of those states in our nbc/"wall street journal" marist poll. so we wait to see when trump is going to make this announcement, if, in fact, it's going to be indiana governor mike pence to help him pull in some of those conservatives and especially voters from swing states. back to you. >> all right, the crystal ball predictions of politics always risky business. thank you very much, tracie potts. >> admirable that he put off the announcement given the events of today. >> certainly the appropriate thing. no question. meteorologist kari hall is here with a look at a forecast that might find you ooh'ing and aw'ing this week. >> we still have a "spare the air" alert in effect effort east bay where the ozone levels will be the highest. limit your time outdoors during the hottest hours of the day as

we see our temperatures that will be reaching into the low to mid 90s. at least we're not talking about triple digits here wide spread as this -- like we had yesterday. and it will be up to 88 degrees in san jose. 72 in oakland. 85 degrees as you head up towards santa rosa while san francisco stays at a nice and cool 66 degrees. heading into the next ten minutes i'll talk about what to expect this weekend as those temperatures come down. mike calls out hayward as your toughest drive right now. >> that's right, kari. not necessarily your slowest but the toughest because it's friday. we expect an easy drive around the bay. just easing into the morning commute for the south bay. san jose. in towards silicon valley. here hayward southbound 880 continues a tougher drive and off the freeway heading toward the loop. very slow for city streets. the crash on the shoulder involving a big rig and there may be a second crash between 238 and 92. that's the only thing we're tracking at this section of the map. move up toward the baio oh sorry, slower drive alternate

might bees peer i don't know. let's show you the backup here. only from the metering lights back to just shy of drant avenue. berkeley curve is clear and crash is cleared. among the thousands of people gathered along the water front in nice to celebrate bastille day where people from the bay area and that includes a walnut creek family vacationing in france who witnessed the horror firsthand. >> i can only imagine the sorts of things they are able to see and talk about. "today in the bay's" sharon katsuda just spoke with the family. sharon, they were only standing feet away when all this happened? >> kris and sam, yes, a lot of heroing storying here hearing this morning. the walnut creek mom i spoke to this morning said she had to take off running with her kids and while she was doing that she was telling her kids not to look if people got shot. sara luka said she brought her 6-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son to france to learn more about the culture, the kids attend a french school here in the bay area. she says chaos broke out after the fireworks.

also in nice, at the time of the attacks jennifer duran for livermore vacationing on the french riviera when terror broke out. >> we were hit with a wall of like thousands of people running off of the beach and had literally four seconds maybe before we were going to be completely 100% trampled. >> start hearing the shooting and the truck drove into the people and everybody just started running, so as we. i grabbed my little daughter to rush as much as we can. it's just -- you see all of these people crying and screaming. >> reporter: and earlier this morning we showed you the building behind me was lit up red, white, and blue, to show their support for france, the

country and later this weekend, saturday, we're told, there will be a candlelight i havigil at s francisco city hall supporting france. >> sharon, thank you. coming up, dozens of shootings at east bay freeways have them on edge. more on the plush to make the highway safer. alum rock avenue opened after a 14-hour gas leak. i'm live in san jose and the latest is coming up next. the stock market is able to shake off some of the fears of terror. let's take you out live to the big board. another positive day. another record for the dow as well.

91 in gilroy. palo alto, 77. mid 60s in the mission district. while san rafael, 84. oakland at 72. and pleasanton, a high of 97 degrees. seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen shows temperatures won't be in the triple digits. in fact, some cooler airdrops in from the north as this cool front continues to spread, nice onshore flow. some scattered showers farther to the north but we are going to stay dry throughout the weekend. so cool and foggy along the coast. even slightly cooler than average in san francisco. we had about 66 degrees but we'll be at 64 degrees on monday. so still once again, nice and cool. and then as we get a look at all the microclimates for this weekend's forecast, the tri-valley will still be pretty warm tomorrow. up to 90 degrees. and then on sunday, dropping back to 85. we'll also see that elsewhere for the inland valleys. let's head over to mike now seeing reports of three reports of slowing for the key spots in our commute. >> three key spots, kari.
