here is a look at those high temperatures in the north bay reaching into the upper 80s, another day to crank up the ac and maybe go swimming like i took my son yesterday kim swimming. it's going to be in the low 80s in the san francisco and you can see that we will be heading towards some cooler temperatures over the next several days, inland areas will still be in the upper 80s today, tomorrow mid 80s on saturday, sunday is the day that we will start to feel the difference. so we will talk more about that, mike now you have a new crash this concord? >> i do. the speed sensors look great around most of the bay. i want to take you to some slowing, highway 4, where we typically see slowing build out of antioch but right now it's approaching port chicago highway and highway 242, a crash involving four or five vehicles reported there, should be out of the lanes but a distraction as it happened and moved to the shoulder. i'm going to track that. so far, though, things south of the sent is that bridge 680 are moving slowly over toward the walnut creek interchange.

over toward the bay bridge you are at the minimums of course through the maze right now. 5:00, new this morning san francisco 49ers are making a pledge to team up with law enforcement to call for the ban of bump stocks on guns. and to foster better relations between the police and the community. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell is live outside of levi stadium. what is motivating the team to reach out to law enforcement on this issue? >> well, good morning to you, marcus and laura. i'm still waiting to hear back from the san francisco 49ers. this pledge comes in the wake of the controversy surrounding players kneeling during the national anthem. this is a movement that was started by former quarterback colin kaepernick here at levi stadium and it's a movement that critics see not only as disrespectful to the flag but to the military and law enforcement as well. later this morning the 49ers, the san jose police officers association and several other poas from the west coast and new york will sign a so-called

pledge for a more understanding and safer america, all who sign will promise to push for legislation that bans the bump stock mechanism that turns semi-automatic weapons into fully automatic like what the shooter used to kill all those people in las vegas, additionally the pledge will call for a ban on armor piercing bullets and silencers, will advocate for better mental health services and the 49ers will also team up with police to create public service announcements to foster better relations between officers and the community. >> when you talked about players talking and players kneeling we're asking you not to kneel, some take a seat at the table, be a leader like some of the associations that have come across the nation, be a leader like the executive team that he is truly one of the only owners that has reached out to law enforcement to sit down and make a pledge on concrete issues. >> reporter: the eight law

enforcement organizations signing today's pledge obviously you've got the san francisco police officers association, unions representing officers for portland, santa clara county, sacramento, long beach and oakland and the sergeant's benevolence association of the nypd. that signing of the pledge taking place later this morning around 11:45 right here at levi stadium, behind me. bob redell, "today in the bay." what's also new this morning and interesting, opinion is shifting in favor of athletes protesting during the national anthem. it's according to a new poll out early this morning, it's from hbo real sports and maris. 51% say they oppose rules requiring players to stand during the anthem. 47% support the rules. statistically speaking that is a tie, but it is a shift in favor of athletes from the results of the same poll a year ago. when only 43% thought players should be allowed to protest. happening today addressing the opioid crisis sweeping

america. today president trump will make a formal declaration and give a major speech on the issue. when the president gives his recommendations governors in several states will join him. a substance abuse lobbyist says an emergency declaration without funding will lack the punch to fight the problem, but some health advocates are concerned that devoting more public health resources to opioids would deflect funding for other health problems such as cancers, diabetes and heart disease. international travelers beware, starting today airports across the u.s. are enforcing stricter security measures for those flying into the country. >> it's the latest decision by the trump administration that could affect global travel. "today in the bay's" pete suratos live at sfo this morning with what we all need to know. >> reporter: good morning. yes, this was a deadline set by the trump administration for the implementation of these new security measures. as you mentioned it's going to affect specifically those international travelers coming into the u.s. we are talking about all travel

coming into the u.s., you're going to see new security measures starting today. as far as how it will work, there's going to be closer inspections of personal electronic devices, more security in passage areas around around the airport and more thorough interviews with nas injuries checking in with the hopes of identifying terrorists. these changes were announced after it was suggested isis was able to smuggle explosives into laptops. one of the top concerns for homeland security are that terrorists can travel through multiple countries before boarding a light flight to the u.s. security measures larger than that laptop ban we saw that affected only certain countries in the middle east. certain domestic airlines such as delta airlines are telling folks to get to their flights earlier, maybe even as much as three hours earlier, but tsa says a lot of the security measures have been put in place by the airlines so there might not be much a difference. it remains to be seen how much longer this will be for people coming back into the u.s.

says that this is a way of letting you unlock your door remotely and let a delivery person leave that package inside your home. well, the reaction from many has been one of concern. this is over safety. this morning on "today" jo ling kent has that story about the safety issues. >> the idea here is to prevent porch pirates from stealing your stuff but of course this convenience is a double-edged sword. coming up this morning on the "today" show we are going to talk about that, what that means to have someone you don't know enter your home and drof off a package. all the cyber security threats that come along with this. >> it's all coming up later on the "today" show. there is some confusion about how much you will be able to put into your 401(k). >> scott mcgrew has been on the phone with congress people in washington. a big fight ahead. >> a big fight but we thought this fight had been settled. a few days ago the president declared there was no way the republican tax plan would slash the amount of money you would be allowed to put in your 401(k)

tax deferred. right now it's $18,000, republican tax proposal wants to drop that to about $2,000 to which the president said, absolutely not. that would be an increase on middle class taxes. we thought it was a done deal, so did the president. take a listen. >> i wanted to end that quickly. 401(k)s to me are very important and they are important because that's one of the great benefits to the middle class. i didn't want that to go too far. that's why i ended it very quickly. >> he says he ended it, but it's still in the plan. we're going to talk more about this coming up in a half an hour when we talk politics. tesla has reportedly laid off hundreds of workers from solar city. you will recall tesla bought solar city late last year. this comes after hundreds of workers at tesla lost their job, tesla said it's letting poor performers go. tesla ceo elon musk was scheduled to show off a new truck today but has delayed that to concentrate on increasing production of the model 3. thousands of people have put down a deposit for that new car, but tesla hasn't made very many

of them. tesla has to explain itself to investors in its next quarterly report on november 1st. some good news out of twitter, the san francisco based company says it's closer to making a profit, shares are up 9% premarket. the company also says it's accidentally been overcounting its users. uber has a credit card. it gives you money back on purchases which you can dump that money back into your uber account and get some free rides. now, what uber gets out of this is even more data about what you do, right? it knows you like to be dropped off at a certain place, a restaurant, whatnot. >> what you spend. >> now what you spend on top of that. there are a lot of cash back cards, compare t i'm not saying uber is better or worse, but go on a website like nerd wallet, something like that, compare it, see if it's the best cash back offer. >> you see colleges, for example, have your -- don't they get a kickback as well. >> uber does, yes, absolutely. american airlines has done. >> businesses. >> for sure.

the peninsula 85 degrees. san francisco still radio etching into the low 80s we may have a couple degrees cooler than it was yesterday, maybe one of the few spots where you feel the difference for this afternoon. north bay we're still going to be in the upper 80s today, as we check out the temperature trend for the tri-valley and livermore, we will be in the upper 50s as you head out for that morning drive and dropping the kids off, you may have the heater on, but then by the time you come back to pick them up it's going to be in the low 80s so you will go from heater to air conditioning. we have had a lot of these days, a wide range in temperatures and then for after school activities like football practice on the peninsula at 3:00 it is going to be hot once again. so you want to make sure you take lots of breaks, drink lots of water and maybe put on that sunscreen. there will be mostly sunny skies and a light wind, it won't be until about 6:00 when we will feel those temperatures coming down just a bit. let me know what do you think of this heat? is it too warm? i had linda on facebook saying i like this extension of summer.

a nice drive getting over toward the bay bridge. the bay bridge toll plaza the live shot shows you these lanes have already packed in. we may have had those metering lights turned on two minutes early. i will get back to the chp report and see if there's anything going on in the span because this is a little early, especially for a thursday. >> thanks for watching. it's 5:22 right now. we may get new information in a decades long search for answers. the key question that researchers say new documents reveal about the jfk assassination. and all new overnight, we look through a new report detailing rents in the bay area, we will tell you about those communities that cost the most. the much anticipated release of

long-sealed 5:25. happening today, a much anticipated release of long sealed government documents tied to the assassination of president john f. kennedy. the warren commission ordered those documents sealed after investigating the kennedy assassination in the 1960s. president trump says he is allowing the release of those files which congress approved 25 years ago for the year 2017. the hope is that the files will clear up conspiracy theories that lee harvey oswald may not have acted alone. one expert says that it may unearth other twists. >> the real story maybe is that the cia knew only seven weeks before the assassination that

oswald may have threatened the president, he returned to america in early october and they did what the cia always does, they told no one. >> you can see more of that interview on the "today" show. on it's website the national archives will release more than 3,000 top secret documents. new this morning sales of new homes in the u.s. has soared to the highest level in a decade. new home sales jumped 18.9% in september to an adjusted rate of $667,000, that is the most since october of 2007. it's a sign americans who have been unable to find existing homes are turning to new construction. here in the bay area a new study is showing the bare cities with the fastest rising rents. according to data we uncovered from zumper.com. rent in mountain view, met luma and walnut creek continue to soar. skroo coming up, big news for

♪ that one. this. that one. ♪ ♪

a very good thursday morning to you. taking a live look outside. who wants to go to loopleasanto

this morning? >> i do. >> get a nice hot cup of coffee in that cute downtown. good morning in the east bay and everywhere else. thanks for joining us, i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. it's a beautiful sight, but later in the day it's going to start heating up. >> we go from hot coffee to iced coffee all in one day. we've been starting out with cool temperatures and we set a couple of records again yesterday. in concord and san jose after hitting 90 degrees we're still going to be hot this afternoon, up to 82 degrees in oakland and san francisco, some low 90s for livermore, 91 in concord and also 91 in morgan hill today with santa rosa and napa up to 88 degrees. so we will talk about that weekend, looks a little bit cooler toward the end that's coming up in seven minutes. mike has good and bad news if you're on your way to the bay bridge. >> no crashes on the bay bridge, bad news, that's still behind me, the backup at the bay bridge, the metering lights were turned on a few minutes later

but the backup formed quicker. the approach on our speed sensors doesn't show any problem. the slowing that you see at the toll plaza built up quickly but our speed sensors are showing green down the east shore freeway coming out of the maze. that's a smooth flow of traffic. around the bay we don't have any major slowing. from here this live shot i will send it right over back to you. >> we have breaking news overnight out of the east bay. police in pleasant hill are looking for a driver who hit an 80-year-old man sending him to the hospital. he was sadly found bleeding from his head on the sidewalk over on gregory lane and contra cost can a boulevard. >> we checked in with investigators who say they are running a few leads but that vehicle may have some minor damage to it. that victim is expected to survive. now to a story we've been highly watching this morning across the bay area, the trump administration is making an immigration policy change that could have a big impact on silicon valley companies and those highly skilled employees.

it said that the renewal process for the h-1b visa program will be more time consuming and complicated. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live from san jose with the impact that it could have on local companies and communities. we will check in with her coming up in just moments. it's 5:32. a lot more ahead. .

home... ...is not just something you can see or touch. home...is a feeling. it's the place where you feel safe to have those little moments that mean everything. at adt, we believe that feeling should always be there. whether it's at your house, or your business, we help keep you safe. so you can have those moments that make you feel at home. ♪you are loved wherever you are. bay area: 5:34. right here in the bay area we know a lot of those workers in silicon valley they are here on

that h-1b visa. they could be impacted as well as a lot of the companies from the trump administration looking to change the immigration policy. >> that's right. it could have a certainly big impact here. let's check in with "today in the bay" kris sanchez this morning. she has been tooling this story how it could affect not only people but some of these local companies as well. >> reporter: i want to put this in terms we can all empathize with. this is a change that would be like asking the dmv -- rather the dmv asking you to take the written test and the drivers test every time you wanted to renew your driver's license instead of just renewing it based on the fact that you passed those requirements the first time around. according to the customs and immigration service as of this week h-1b visa holders will face the same level of scrutiny for a visa renewal as they did for their initial application, only 65,000 work visas are granted every year, h-1b 1s. here is look at what the sees is

a holders have to provide, a job with the sponsoring company, copy of their passports, proof of degrees and transcripts, a letter of current and previous employment and the renewal can be three years or one year and there will be no fast track for h-1b visas, that was a policy that changed a few week ago. tech companies like google and apple depend on those visas for some of the highly skilled workers that they need. this is going to be stressful for the visa holder but also a burden for those companies which often do a lot of the legwork for the employees they want to bring here. i'm reaching out to the silicon valley leadership group to see what this means in their opinion for the silicon valley specifically. stay tuned for that. if we are not on the air i will post it on facebook and on twitter. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." 5:36 right now. now to a big development joe every night in a story we've been following really for years. it looks like martins boo etch in san mateo county will remain open to the public.

california supreme court has declined to hear an appeal from the beach's billionaire owner. that means the lower court ruling requiring the beach to be open to the public will stand. for years it was a public beach. the owner bought it in 2008 and closed it off to the public. it should be now open to the public. the search is on this morning for two men suspected of killing a man an at upscale north san jose apartment. police reveesed this video showing those suspects. they say they are part of a criminal group targeting high end brothels across the bay area. three other members of this group have been arrested in los angeles county, there they are. the police say that this group is responsible for a string of violent crimes that includes the execution style shooting last month in elon apartments off of montague expressway. they targeted both else in san jose, milpitas, treatment and south san francisco all within about 48 hours. uc berkeley working to

address concerns raised in a recent audit that it hasn't met its own fair wage plan. two years ago president janet napolitano announced plans to guarantee minimum wage at $15 an hour. the university hasn't met its own targets. uns that work with the school question whether the whole idea was a publicity stunt. right now there is more purpose behind klay thompson scoring duringup coming games. for every point he scores money will go to the north bay fire victims. he is donating $1,000 per point he scores for the three games during the warriors current home stand. last night he dropped 22, that's $22,000 in a donation. he will also do it again tomorrow as well as sunday. thompson says that this is his way of giving back. i know a lot of people in the north bay come to watch us play, a lot of them lost their homes and everything they had.

pretty cool thing he's doing there, isn't it, mike? >> klay thompson talking about why he wants to give back to the community because the community supports them so well, great stuff. i think he also hosted a family there last night. let's go over to the roadways, travel past oakland 880 past the coliseum smooth drive. there is a little build for upper east shore freeway but nothing dramatic. we see isolated to the bay bridge that was a quick whether at the toll plaza back to west grand, but holding steady for the rest of thursday. green sensors, a little slowing concord out of antioch and pittsburg, the earlier crash set things off at port chicago highway is clear for highway 4. one more thing to call out here, we have a crash north 880 at whipple road, it's on the shoulder, maybe a little slowing, not enough of a distraction to slow the southbound which has a more major commute volume. out to the peninsula side we're looking at a smooth flow of traffic. i turn the camera north of

university toward willow. slowing a little bit northbound with the volume build. who is ready for the weekend? >> i am. one, two, three, four -- >> i don't even have to put my hand up, you know i'm already ready for the weekend. >> bags packed. >> it's going to be a great one. we will have cooler temperatures and that's part of the reason why i'm so ready for the weekend. it is going to be cooling off and let's take a look at what to expect on saturday, 85 degrees, warm in the valleys, the bay at 77 degrees, will you make it a beach weekend, it's going to be 66 degrees, checking out sunday a little cooler, especially for the valleys, 76 degrees, the bay at 74 and the coast in the mid 60s. if you are planning to go to the pumpkin patch in santa rosa and that's the largest pumpkin patch in sonoma county it's going to be in the upper 60s at 11:00 in the morning, now our high temperatures that day will reach into the low 80s so it's still going to be really pleasant, but i think if you go a little bit later in the evening, especially if you will be wearing your

costumes it will be a little bit more comfortable but it will be a perfect day. going to mir woods it will be the mid 70s on friday, much cooler by sunday. that will be the type of weather you will be have to wear long sleeves and pants if you're heading into warmer weather you want to go town to paso robles. it will be cooling off as well on saturday so more comfortable for sitting out on the patio during your wine tasting. if you're heading to santa barbara it will be in the upper 70s on friday, saturday 80 degrees, also some nice beach weather and cooling off a bit for sunday but still really comfortable. let me know what you're doing this weekend, i will give you a personalized forecast for the place you're heading to or the events you want to go to. let me know @kari hall weather on twitter. >> i'm doing a lot of laundry. that's what i'm doing.

5:41. new details on that new 680 express lanes in contra costa county. it's been a couple weeks since the lanes opened and this morning we are taking a closer look at how it's going. according to a new report by the metropolitan transportation commission more than 22,000 new flex tags have been activated since those lanes opened. this is about the same amount activated when the 580 express lanes opened back in february of 2016. solo drivers with fast track can now use the lanes for a fee, that actually adjusts depending on the traffic levels. a follow-up on a breaking news story that we brought you a couple weeks ago. today a 21-year-old man will face a judge for the t. irs time suspected of a hit and run crash which injured four bicyclists. this happened back on october 7th during the genesee grand fundo of marin. according to the ma inn are ij aaron michael path of novato could face up to five years in prison if convicted.

new this morning san francisco city leaders are reportedly questioning the work habits of a key emergency service worker and whether it contributed to problems during the intense september heat wave. you may remember triple digit heat left much of the city paralyzed and emergency workers overwhelmed. the examiner reports the department of emergency management deputy director leaves nowhere -- lives nowhere near san francisco. he telecommuted through most of the heat wave from his sacramento home 87 miles away. the mayor is calling that unacceptable. and new this morning, talk about a ride. a two major tahoe ski resorts may be connected by way of a 13,000 foot gondola. if you want to stop to do the math we did that overnight for you, that's about two and a half miles in length. the group owns the squaw valley and alpine meadows is talking about constructing that would be

called the california express. if regulators approve it may be up and running by the start of the 2019 season. but likely the run there will be some gates to clear that first. for one, environmental groups, this he say they are already reportedly coming out against that plan. >> time so check in with scott mcgrew this morning. the president making new claims about a strange dossier we were talking about yesterday. >> that research was paid for by a republican mark us and laura in an attempt to disrupt trump's run for the party nomination, then when trump got the no, ma'am tags the file became useless to republicans. democrats paid for further research. the "washington post" ran an article earlier this week and the president has latched on to the new connection to democrats. here is the president this morning. >> we're thinking of something that's unique -- they didn't know what to say so they made up

the whole russia hoax. now it's turning out that the hoax has turned around and you look at what's happened with russia and you look at the ur ain't yum deal and the bake dossier so that's all turned around. >> the dossier is not fake, it absolutely exists. a couple other things to look out for when the president talks about the dossier, he has tweeted that it has been dis kreted but parts have been found true. he said it's a plan by the democrats but it was created by republicans. the last thing to keep in mind when the president talks about dossiers is it's normal for candidates for opposition research to find out what the other guy might use. >> the house might try to take the next step in tax reform as soon as today. the idea that they're going to reduce the amount of money you can set aside tax free from your

401(k) is still part of that [nq plan. republican lawmakers are not backing down, even though the president specifically said he does not approve of that plan. this fellow, kevin brady of the house ways and means committee a republican is writing that tax code and he says that that idea to reduce your 401(k) shelter is still in. so there are two take a ways, if he gets his way the taxes on your retirement will go up in the near term. two, an important republican is not listening to the president. >> well, we take a look at your presidential news every day on "today in the bay." you can reach me directly on twitter, i'm @scottmcgrew. do you remember that snake from yesterday? >> how could you forget it? >> the good news for you all here this morning that snake has been adopted. this is a picture of brianna she adopted that snake and she's taking it home but the snake won't be alone. get what else she has? >> i don't know, a possum or something? >> no, she actually has three
