at expedia. now expedia's parent company seems sure he's going to leave. barry diller said nothing has been finalized yet but having extensively discussed this with dara i believe it's his intention to accept the position at uber. meg whitman who he remember denied on twitter she was interested in that uber job was negotiating for the job as late as this past saturday. she told "the financial times" one of her conditions was a promise that founder travis kalanick be stripped of any remaining authority. wall street uneasy about the latest test by north korea, the missile. markets open up in about 15 minutes, a little less. futures, call for a quick move to the negative. markets have a wait-and-see attitude. the dow down just five. the nasdaq actually gained. now as for the missile test particularly worrisome because

of the distance over japan, most of them laying short in the sea of japan. about 1:45 ago, the white house issued a statement that, quote, all options are on the table. now obviously military action is an option. it sounds alarming. coming up in 30 minutes i will walk you through all the times the white house has said all options are on the table. i think you'll feel better about it because they say it all the time. >> there you go. we'll wait for that. now take you back to houston this morning, back to our tropical storm harvey coverage this morning. these are live pictures. there was a rescue attempt that was going under way. this is a story we've been following specifically since our 5:00 hour where there was a boat, a rescue boat with about 11 people inside but it capsized in the waters. two teenagers hanging to a tree were eventually cued.

they were trapped when the boat -- it looks like they put down the camera there so we'll come back out to us now but it gives you an idea -- do you know what that blow-dryer is there? the cameras. they're getting so fogged in. that's what they're having to use. the rain and the humidity out there as well and they said there will be more rain in that region through friday, right? >> it's still going to be raining for several days but it does become more scattered and, yeah, we'll be tracking that. >> all right. so much going on there in houston. we have reporter damian trujillo as well. he went to houston overnight. it took him hours and hours to get there and drive to the area. he'll have later reports on nbc bay area news later today. >> take a look at the weather today here. a lot of people dealing with the heat again today. >> more heat today but it will be a few degrees cooler than it was yesterday so that will be a relief. and this is part of the reason why. we will have a deeper marine layer. we can see those low clouds over the golden gate bridge.

and some mostly clear skies with our view from sunol. low clouds settling in over the tri-valley. that will be clearing out fairly quickly for another hot day. in livermore we've already had 12 days above 100 degrees. and the average for this summer is about ten days and the average summer high temperature is 89 degrees, we know we've been well above that. we set a new record high in more of 107 degrees for that day. and we have the seventh hottest july in california and ahead there is more high heat on the way. so we start out with clouds this morning and we can see that on our san jose camera of this is our little break with our temperatures today reaching into the mid to upper 80s in some spots, and the seven-day forecast is up at the bottom of the screen. napa a high of 90 degrees today. still very hot in antioch.

we zoom in and just one block moorpark is closed off between clover and monroe from an earlier crash. if williams doesn't connect you all the way over you have to go quite a bit around until you get around 17. 17, 280 unaffected. and you see the easy drive for these speed sensors around the bay. build through hayward. union city where we mapped out the course and 237 is a quicker route than the dumbarton bridge. take note. take note of the team you're on. in your profile on your waze app if you go to your profile and select nbc bay area wazers as the team. if it doesn't have a check mark next to it, you're not a member. thank you very much, mike. getting paid to go green.

a live look this morning at the rescue operations that are going on right now, live pictures from houston this morning. a little boy that was rescued from the water. they have to put the life jackets on them. they're literally carrying people out from the floodwaters. we've seen rescue boats that have capsized this morning, at least 11 people were in that overturned boat. we understand there were some children that were clinging to trees waiting to be rescued. at least three people sadly are confirmed dead. officials started releasing water from overflow reservoirs. the goal is to protect the dams from collapsing. as you well understand releasing the water could cause more flooding in other subdivisions. it continues to rain as well. many are over capacity this morning. both the airports in houston are shut down. and there are still so many

people still missing including this family of six. the "today" show obtained these photos earlier this morning. relatives say four children and their great-grandparents were swept away in their van. they can't find them. they believe they were killed. >> those people being rescued. more people caring for them. >> you may have seen the pictures including a woman, look at this. she, herself, was being rescued and in her arms a sleeping baby as she's carried through the water. this morning on the "today" show she talked about that experience. >> we were just so grateful because i don't know if we hadn't ran into them and seen them i don't know how long i would have been up there and how long it would have taken for somebody to find us. >> so many stories of is your we're hearing. you can see the full interview on "today" at 7:00. >> and we will have continuing coverage of tropical storm harvey throughout the morning. at 6:45 learn how crews in the bay area are heading to texas to

now it includes five schools altogether in the walnut creek area. foothills middle school and north gate high school. those schools are currently a part of the much larger mt. diablo unified school district and opponents feel this would be bad for the district calling it elite and discriminatory with some going as far as saying it's a segregation issue saying it would be wealthier and predominantly white. advocates say this is not a race issue which a report backs up and it all comes down to the mt. diablo unified school district being too large to respond to the needs of these five schools. we did do some digging on this to see if there were similar cases like this around the country. and according to the nonprofit since 2000, 71 communities have attempted to secede. 47 have been successful and nine have failed including two in southern california. and nine others are still

deciding. the board will take a vote at 4:00 p.m. later today. live in walnut creek, pete suratos for "today in the bay." new this morning at 6:36 an accounting oversight has led to a sudden windfall for one cash-strapped bay area fire district. they say a recent audit discovered an additional $6 million. it came from savings due to a string of cuts and fire station closures over three years. the county never transferred it to the fire district. the district does not expect the surplus money will go to any opening closed stations. >> the final meeting to bring b.a.r.t. to livermore. that plan is to extend b.a.r.t. by nearly six miles along

interstate 580. the new line would near the isabel avenue interchange in livermore. tonight's meeting takes place in dublin. it looks like the express lanes in contra costa county are hitting roadblocks. the opening date has been delayed. we're checking in with transportation authorities and they tell us the lanes were expected to open in the next few days but crews are still trying to work out technical issues. we're told the lanes will open in early october. >> i've been talking to our friend aaron to tell us if the lanes open. we just got the word. i'm talking about 680 slowing through sunol. overall this looks great. the tri-valley, you do see slowing for west 580 but nothing major there. highway 84 around the isabel

interchange at the new b.a.r.t. station proposed. traffic over to 238. some over to the san mateo bridge and there's a lot of traffic westbound moving very well. it's not bad for a tuesday. >> a look at the weather. >> another hot one. >> check out the spread and temperatures will be at 78 degrees along the coast. the bay will be at 89 degrees and the inland areas up to 102 degrees. more triple digits for sunday. the bay at 87 and 76 degrees for the coast. it's going to be very nice. our high temperatures are

reaching the low 80s and mostly sunny skies in the forecast there. the russian river valley is going to be really hot staying just below that century mark and it's going to be 99 degrees. this is going to be so crowded, santa cruz, and it's going to be great. sunday a high of 76 degrees. a look at the temperature trend in three minutes. >> sounds good. we look forward to that, kari. 6:39 right now. new video in to our newsroom. the piece of equipment that may have started that fire. >> the white house this morning says all options are on the table. >> and following your money you can see right now the dow down 102 points. a lot of things coming into play with this. what's going on with tropical

and even hotter temperatures as we get closer to the weekend. more on that coming up in five minutes. and we are looking at the top number there, 40 minutes now from highway 4 to the toll plaza. the build is on. thank you very much, kari and mike. we do have breaking news from overnight in afghanistan. at least five are dead after a suicide in kabul happened not far from the u.s. embassy near the kabul bank. police believe attackers were targeting the bank which has been busy ahead of a major muslim holiday. at least nine people have been injured. and new this morning marijuana growing equipment may have started a fire in the east bay before 3:00 a.m. in a home on samuel street near san pab avenue near pinole. the only person in the homemade it out safely. authorities are not sure if the

marijuana grow was an illegal operation. no charges have been filed here. >> senator harris will be in san hoe meeting with mayors from across california discussing jobs, immigration, and infrastructure. tomorrow the senator will be in oakland to host a town hall meeting. happening today should the city of santa is a divide into districts when it comes to electing local officials? city leaders will discuss the issue today. city accused of violating california's voting rights act. southern california law firm alleges that the city's current at-large voting system did not pick based on districts that's drowned out the voices of minorities especially the latino population and santa rosa isn't the only bay area city facing this problem. we dove deeper into this issue overnight. the city of santa clara has been sued by residents claiming the city at-large voting block asian voters. dublin unified has been warned to change its voting practices

when electing school board trustees or face a lawsuit. san mateo switched in 2013 after it was sued by minority groups. >> i will take you back live to houston this morning. this is a live look from inside the houston convention center where flood victims are being reunited with their loved ones right now. help is starting to arrive from places across america. if you've ever been to the convention center there in houston of course it is quite large. so large it's almost at capacity. they have 9,000 people that are now living there right now to escape the floodwaters in houston. look at them just milling around. the red cross set up that as an evacuation center for so many people walking around with blankets, cups of coffee. they have nowhere else to go. the 129th rescue wing sent 90 citizen airmen to texas to had he. their plane took off from moffitt field last night. it landed in texas overnight.

teams will be involved in some of the swift water rescues we brought you live on "today in the bay." they're using boats to patrol neighborhoods. >> however big or small the rescue operation is we conduct we bring the same level of excellence to the table. >> the 129th rescue wing also sent two helicopters in a c-17 plane. rescuers will use them to help lift people from their flooded homes. not the only californians looking to help. two veterans from grass valley are going as well. the pair say they're packing up an su and driving 1900 miles to houston. >> i just have a desire to help people. i think we lack a lot of human kindness and i think that we need to try to show it and help each other. help thy neighbor, help the community. >> for this situation you don't really know what we're getting into. we have to be prepared for anything. >> quite the givers. friends are donating food and

water that they will now take there. they're also taking a kayak to help with the rescue. >> people in japan are on heightened alert after a ballistic missile was launched toward the country, it flew over japan went into the pacific ocean. no damage was done but they say the missiles didn't pose a danger to the united states. a plea was made to the international action. this comes a month after north korea tested an intercouldnntinl ballistic missile that could potentially reach the u.s. in the mean the white house says all options are on the table this morning. >> scott mcgrew perhaps less ominous than it first sounded. >> we need to remind ourselves how often the white house says all options are on the table. it's pretty often. the latest statement came at

about 4:30 our time. it was a written statement. the white house said, quote, threatening and destabilizing actions only increase the north korean regime's relation in the region and among all nations of the world, all options are on table. that is obviously meant to imply the white house is not ruling out military action. it's something the white house always leaves as an option. rex tillerson said it just a couple months ago. the previous secretary of state john kerry said it in 2014 about ukraine. president obama said all options are on the table about iran's nuclear program the year before as did president bush way back in 2007. the president and the first lady boarded air force one a short time ago to fly to texas. raining in virginia as well. he's expected in corpus christi, texas, 9:30 our time. austin just after noon. the white house very aware what a political disaster katrina was for president bush. so far so good for the current

president. the president promised what he called very rapid action from congress to fund disaster relief. many texas lawmakers like ted cruz are getting grief this morning because they voted against a second relief package for hurricane sandy. the bottom line is they voted against money for sandy which didn't hit them but want funding now for the storm that did hit them. those lawmakers claim that second sandy relief bill was full of pork. "the washington post" did an excellent analysis saying not true. i tweeted out a link to that article. you can also link to me, you can find out what covery and give us your opinion. find us on twitter. i am @scott mcgrew. >> thank you very much, scott. 6:49 right now. taking a live look outside at the bay bridge this morning. and you know what they want to do? they want to save old bridge piers. talking about how they imploded

some of them when they took out the last span there but they're actually considering saving some of those old foundation piers. crews have been demolishing since 2015. here is video of one of those explosions. bam. that was gone. the leftover foundations could be used, they say, to create public spaces. they're looking at saving one near treasure island and four near oakland. >> help the impact. >> i remember that. that's right. >> bay area cares. >> imagine doing one? >> a look at what's going on with the weather. another hot one. >> it is going to be hot but a little bit of a break, i guess we can call it that. some spots cooler today and at least we're not still setting records today. as you get ready to head out the door, right in the middle of the screen it is cloudy at 62 degrees. a live look outside in pay
