5:26 am
marijuana. the insurance institute for highway safety looked at crash data in colorado, oregon, and washington, all states that have legalized marijuana recreational. they found the kroosh-related insurance claims are 3% higher in states where pot is legal. researchers are still not sure if that increase is coincidence or tied to drivers who are impaired from smoking pot. new cars and trucks are said to be remoe reliable than ever. they've really improved, they say, in the last three years. according to j.d. power and associates of more than 80,000 consumers and their complaints about 2017 mott elds. kia was the brand with the fewest problems for the last two years. the biggest complaints were about driver-assist features like auto drive, lane departure warning and cruise control. reliably hot, it has been that way all week we're under a microclimate weather alert this morning as the heat intensifies. any sign of relief? >> a little bit as we head into

5:35 am
use of tasers. the department of justice recommended the use of tasers following the shoout shooting death of mario woods by officers in 2015. san francisco police, the only major force in the country without tasers. the iconic rainbow flag flying high on the cornerer of castro long has been a symbol of the gay community for four decades. some people are looking to change that symbol. the issue here is that it's missing the colors black and brown. philadelphia add those colors to its flag this year and now some in san francisco want do the same thing including a friend of the man who created that flag. gilbert baker who passed away a few months ago originally wanted more colors. people on the street were mixed about changing the flag. >> the gueye flag is supposed to be a rainbow of inclusiveness. there's not a white ban on it so why do we need a black and brown on it. >> when it comes to our own community we're in bubble and boxes and we don't want toy think confront that issue.
5:36 am
>> no official word if the castro sflag going to change. the flag was first commissioned by san francisco supervisor harvey milk back in the 1970s. >> all right. let's take a look at your commute. a very pleasant drive right now looking at speeds just changing from green to yellow and back to green, few slower vehicles around the bay. over in the tri-valley looking over toward highway 84 we have that construction and closure right there off of ids isabel and that's showing a point of congestion as you would expect. no problems over here with the castro valley wye key point looking great right now. east bay drive times are looking good as well. no slowing for the tri-valley or off the castro valley y as you just saw on the map. get a quick look on the san mateo bridge air nice smooth drive leer. it will probably get crowd west farther west on 92 headed toward half moon bay.
5:37 am
>> on the road kind of headed towards 17 yesterday, little backup there i noticed. little bit. >> little bit. >> little hazy out there right now but we good see the weekend in our sites. what do we call today. >> friday eve. yes, it's going to be so good to have some slightly lower temperatures after dealing with a week of triple digit heat. well take a look at saturday's inland forecast. thin concludes the interior valleys and the south bay. we're up to 92 degrees so that's doing much better than 107. and for the bay, 81 degrees and the coast will be at 70 degrees. so still a hot spot or a good place to be. heading into sunday's forecast, it will be in the upper 60s along the coast as the fog rolls back in. the bay will be at 80 degrees and the inland forecast up to 88 degrees. looking at a lot of big events going on this weekend return clugd the pride festival on saturday in san francisco and the weather will be absolutely perfect reaching into the low
5:38 am
70s with mostly is sunny skies and by 6:00 we're at 68 degrees so no need for a heavy jacket. and looking at sonoma in the forecast there will be bright and sunny and not too hot 349 we will be at 72 degrees at nooen noontime. as the race will be ending it will be 87 degrees starting to heat up. if you'll be hitting the road and heading to yosemite this weekend it will be in the upper 70s but a chance of thunderstorms on sunday most likely as you're driving back to the bay area. if you're going down ton l.a. we'll see those temperatures in the low 70s for tomorrow and then in the upper 70s by the end of the weekend. and also another place you might want to head but maybe not, pass as robles will be up to 102 degrees in weekend as we bring it back home we'll take a look at the temperature trend for san jose. that's coming up in three minutes. >> thank you very much. coming up drivers puz 8d, the strange new crosswalks
5:39 am
5:41 am
it's 5:41 a clear sunrise around the bay area and it's going to be a really hot day. in fact, the hottest day we've seen so far. and as we take a look at the temperature trend for willow glen getting out there going for a run, getting some outdoor activities done, you'll want to did it early. at 9:00 we'll be at 77 degrees
5:42 am
and continuing to heat up quickly from there. lunchtime temperatures 91 degrees spot you'll most likely just want to stay inside with your sandwich and not take it outside. we're going to see those temperatures rising into the mid to upper 90s today. i'll have a look at what's ahead as we go into some slightly cooler weather for the weekend. that's coming up at 5:47. >> and a crash just reported in the bay bridge toll plaza in your farthest right fast track lane that's where you see this darkered color flatbed dough truck. those things are moving smoothly so i think the things are clear but i'll give you the update coming up. have you seen these lights they just installed? they're confuse a lot of drivers. yellow means prepare to stop because a pedestrian is waiting to cross. two reds mean stop. but the blinking reds come on about the time pedestrians are done crossing. drivers can go in the crosswalk is clear. but it turns out many drivers are just not getting it. >> there were cars that still if they see no pedestrian on the
5:43 am
walk road they just pass. >> i just don't know what do, stop or keep going. >> there are four intersections in assistant an clara that have these lights now. san jose and san francisco have them as well. they are cheaper than the traditional traffic signal. >> all right. a question in our morning, could you consider voting for a salds tax increase if it meant you would help caltrain cover its operating costs? that's what's before legislatures roit now. a new bill is moving through sacramento. it allow them to place a 1 eighth cent tax on right now caltrain draws money from all three of those, but it's on a voluntary contribution basis from all three of those counties. that tax measure would had a regular fupding stream to the system. >> 5:43, the president says i wants more money in the senate's new healthcare reform bill. >> it's not clear the president has seen the version of the senate's bill. >> that's true. several people were tasked with
5:44 am
writing the bill say they haven't seen it but that all changes today. senators are expected to bring a draft of the bill to light. we don't know what's in it but logically it will have to include huge spending cuts to medicaid. senators need to make spending cuts in order to clear the way for later tax cuts under the reconciliation rules. the bill, as we understand it, has been carefully crafted to please as many senators as possible, with you that means it's fate is tenuous. it would just take a couple of senators to change their mind and the sbil debill is dead whi certainly one of the reasons no one's seen it yet. a number of healthcare providers ansd companies are worried about it enough they sent a letter to mitch mcconnell, the ama and aarp have spoken out against the house version as well. remember on the campaign trail donald trump promised there would be no cuts, none whatsoever to medicaid. in an interview with "60
5:45 am
minutes" trump called for universal healthcare. he was in iowa wednesday rallying supporters and talking about the wall. >> and we're thinking of something that's unique. we're talking about the southern border. lots of sun, lots of heat. we're thinking about building the wall adds a solar wall so it creates energy and pays for it self. [ cheers and applause ] >> and this way mexico will have to pay much less money. >> mr. trump also criticized wind power, perhaps not fully appreciating iowa actually uses wind power more than any other state in the united states. iowa gets nearly a third of its electricity from wind mills. democrats are calling for a new strategy after their defeat in georgia this week. there have been calls for nancy pelosi to step down as house minority leader after republican candidate karen handel took the georgia special election. now, pelosi had no specific role
5:46 am
