i'm laura garcia. >> i'm kris sanchez in for marcus washington. a quick look at our forecast before we head off to london where it's a little rainy this morning. >> not so much here. we will have a hot day across the bay area. we are starting out just a few clouds over the bay. but inland we are all clear. as you get ready to step out the door, it is a nice start. upper 50s. as we go through our forecast, we'll reach into the low 90s inland today. be prepared for that. we're also going to talk about when we cool down a few more degrees coming up. mike, you have unexpected slowing in san hoe. >> really unexpected. we have a light traffic volume. that's unexpected. unexpected slowing north 87 towards capital expressway will continue until the tow truck can make its way through the traffic jam. if you're watching at home, take the expressway and join north of 87. that's a much quicker route
6:01 am
because of the crash. the rest of the bay shows a smooth drive around most of your spots. no slowing near hercules and over here. watch highway 37 out of vallejo. traditional. back to you. president trump's european tour enters day two in london. we are looking live this morning as we await a news conference to start any second. we will bring it to you live early this morning, president trump urged prime minister may to stick around for a u.s./uk trade deal. >> jay gray is live with whether or not the prime minister will honor that request. >> reporter: kris, laura, good morning. not likely she will honor that request. she is definitely on her way out here. look, protesters leaving trifalgar square. they are now spilling into the streets of london. this is a protest that will
6:02 am
continue through the day here. they will gather in other areas, trying to get the attention of the president and other political leaders here. the optics of day two of the state visit much different than what we saw during yesterday's royal welcome. after a royal welcome, including a parade, review of the palace guard, military salute. the future, i'm confident that our common values and shared interests will continue to unite us. >> reporter: and lavish state dinner at buckingham palace. >> on behalf of all americans, i offer a toast to the eternal friendship of our people, the vitality of our nations, and to the long cherished and truly remarkable reign of her majesty the queen. >> reporter: now president trump's trip shifts from
6:03 am
pageantry to politics. beginning back at the palace, the president co-hosting a roundtable with theresa may. his daughter and adviser ivanka joining in the summit. next, the president and first lady join them for a private lunch at 10 downing street. may will also give mr. trump a tour of the churchill war rooms. then the two leaders sit down for bilateral discussions with members of their delegations. yeah. and back to a touch of royalty this evening. the president and first lady hosting a reciprocal dinner, a thank you for last night's state dinner extravaganza at buckingham palace. they will host members of the royal family at winfield house, the home of the u.s. ambassador. back to you ladies. >> we are moments away of taking the news conference in london as well much this is the area where
6:04 am
british prime minister theresa may and of course u.s. president donald trump will hold that press conference. we understand there will be a q&a session after as well. >> certainly president trump is pressuring theresa may to stick around. as jay gray said, that is not likely to happen. they are walking up to the podium. lots of folks around the world will be watching and listening. >> this was them leaving 10 downing street a little bit earlier as they were heading to the site of the news conference. the president arriving yesterday in london where he met with the queen as well. here's a special report. >> announcer: this is an nbc news special report. here's savannah guthrie. good morning, everybody. we've got breaking news from london. this is day two of the state's visit to the united kingdom. the president is about to hold a
6:05 am
news conference with prime minister theresa may who is stepping down. they had morning talks at the assembled room at 10 downing street. we have had the delegation from the britain side but also the u.s. delegation as well, members of the cabinet, secretary of state mike pompeo gathered as well as all the president's adult children. we expect to see the president walk out with theresa may. keir simmons is there. this comes when british politics are in a bit of turmoil. theresa may abruptly announcing her departure. >> reporter: yeah. that's absolutely right. this will be a crucial news conference. not just for the president but for british politics. behind me, savannah, the world famous trifalgar square. they are trying to have their voices heard by the president. it will be interesting to see
6:06 am
what they have to say. many issues could be on the agenda. iran, climate change. the chinese company huawei that america does not want involve in 5g but britain thinks should be allowed of the 5g network. of course brexit, they may not have agreed, the president and the outgoing prime minister. and we shall see in other points, the press from both america and britain. the british press can ask pretty cutting questions. many british people did not like the president's trip to britain. they did not like that he was offered a state visit. we could see tough questions from the waiting journalists. >> and we see the first lady coming in. that's our signal, we think, that the president is about to come as well about 30, 60 seconds away from when we see the president and the prime minister. briefly if we have a moment to go to richard ee een engel.
6:07 am
what have you seen today? >> reporter: so there have been thousands of people on the streets here in downtown london. the issues they are discussing are very serious. they say that president trump is against the environment. he's meddling in british politics. he is a fascist. they are taking it with a comedic tone. the president is a figure of ridicule on the streets here. savannah. >> richard, thank you so much. we go back to live pictures of theresa may, outgoing embattled prime minister of t. they will take questions from the british press and american press. no word on how many questions. often there is a plan, and off the president goes his own way. let's listen to the remarks of these leaders. >> this week we commemorate the extraordinary courage and
6:08 am
sacrifice of those who gave their lives for our liberty on d-day 75 years ago. leaders prepare to gather here from across the world. it is fitting that we begin with a celebration of the special relationship between the united ki kingdom and the united states enduring partners who stood side by side on that day and every day since. for generations at the heart of the transatlantic alliance has been our shared values, our common interests and our commitment to justice. it is that unity of purpose that will preserve the deep-rooted ties between our people and underpin our nation's security and prosperity for the next 75 years and beyond. so i am very pleased to welcome the president of the united states of america on this state visit to the united kingdom. for the past two and a half years, the president and i have
6:09 am
had the duty and privilege of being the latest guardians of this precious and profound friendship between our countries. as with our predecessors, when we have faced threats to the security of our citizens and our allies, we have stood together and acted together. when russia used a deadly nerve agent on the streets of our country, alongside the uk's expulsions, the president expelled 60 russian intelligence officers, the largest contribution toward an unprecedented global response. and in syria, when innocent men, women and children were victims of a bar baric chemical weapons attack britain and america, along with france, carried out targeted strikes against the regime. since we spoke about nato during my first visit to the white house we have maintained our
6:10 am
support for this crucial alliance. thanks in part to your clear message on burden sharing, donald, we have seen members pledge another $100 million. kraoeupbs their contributions to our shared security. and i'm pleased to announce that nato will soon be able to call on the uk's queen elizabeth aircraft carriers and f-35 fighters jets to tackle threats around the world. we have discussed the new and evolving challenges to our security, values and way of life. with he share the same view about their origin and meeting them. we like prime ministers and presidents before us and no doubt that those will come on we can also differ how to confront the challenges. nowhere is this more true than in the special relationship. today we've discussed again the importance of our two nations working together to address iran's destabilizing activity in
6:11 am
the region and to ensure around cannot acquire a nuclear weapon. although we differ in the means of achieving that, as i said before, the uk continues to stand by the nuclear deal, it is clear we both want to reach the same goal. it is important that iran meets its obligations and we do everything to avoid escalation, which is in no one's interests. we are more prosperous when we work together on the biggest challenges of our time, i sent out the uk's approach to tackling climate change and our continued support or not paris agreement. and we also spoke about china, recognizing its economic significance and we cannot ignore actions that threat else our shared interests or values. as we have deepened our security, including our joint military operations and unparalleled intelligence sharing, our economies are more tightly bound together. every morning 1 million americans get up and go to work for british companies in america
6:12 am
and 1 million britons do the same here. we're the largest investors in each other's economies with mutual investments valued at $1 trillion. mr. president you and i agreed the first time we met we should aim for an ambitious trade agreement when the uk leaves the eu. and i know we both remain committed to this. i'm also sure that our economic relationship will only grow broader and deeper, building on the conversations we had and the ideas we heard from uk and u.s. businesses when we met them earlier today. tomorrow we will sit down in portsmouth with our fellow leaders to reaffirm the enduring importance of the western alliance and the shared values that underpin it. and as we look to the future, in the years and in the generations ahead, we will continue to work together to preserve the
6:13 am
alliance that is the bedrock of our shared prosperity and security, just as it was on the beaches of normandy 75 years ago. mr. president? >> well, thank you, prime minister may. melania and i are honored to return to london as our nations commemorate the 75th anniversary of d-day and world war ii. we want to thank her majesty the queen, who i had a lovely dinner with last night, a fantastic person, fantastic woman. for so graciously inviting us to this state visit. it was very, very special. our thanks as well to prime minister and mr. may for the warm welcome. they have given the first lady and me as we remember the heroes who laid down their lives to
6:14 am
rescue civilization itself, on june 6th, 1944, tens of thousands of young warriors left these shores by the sea and air to begin the invasion of normandy and the liberation of europe and the brutal nazi occupation. it was a liberation like few people have seen before. among them were more than 130,000 american and british brothers in arms. through their valor and sacrifice, they secured our homelands and saved freedom for the world. tomorrow, prime minister may and i will attend a commemoration ceremony in portsmouth. one of the key embarkation points for the invasion. more than 1.5 million service members were stationed right here in england in advance of the landings that summer. the bonds of friendship forged here and sealed in blood on those hollowed beaches will
6:15 am
endure forever. our special relationship is grounded in common history, values, customs, culture, language and laws. our people believe in freedom and independence as a sacred birthright and cherished inheritance worth defending at any cost. as the prime minister and i discussed in our meetings today and yesterday, the united states and the united kingdom share many goals and priorities around the world. i want to thank the people of the united kingdom for their service and partnership in our campaign to defeat isis. as we announced a few months ago, isis's tear to oral caliphate in syria and iraq has been completely obliterated, defeated. the united kingdom is also a key partner in nato. the prime minister and i agree that our nato allies must increase their defense spending.
6:16 am
we both have been working very hard toward that end. and we are very current and some of them are not. we can't allow that to happen. but i appreciate everything you've done in that regard. we expect a growing number of nations to meet the minimum 2% of gdp requirement, to address today's challenges, all members of the alliance must fulfill their obligations. they have no choice. they must fulfill their obligation. among the pressing threats facing our nations is the development and spread of nuclear weapons. perhaps that's our greatest threat. the united states and the united kingdom are determined to ensure that iran never develops nuclear weapons and stops supporting and engaging in terrorism. and i believe that will happen. in protecting our nation's, we also know that the border security is national security. today the prime minister and i discussed our thriving economic
6:17 am
relationship. both countries are doing very well and participated in a roundtable with industry and business leaders. i can say probably the biggest business leaders anywhere in the world. our nations have more than $1 trillion invested in each other's economics. the united kingdom is america's largest foreign investor and our largest european export market. that's a lot of importance. as the uk makes preparations to exit the european union, the united states is committed to a phenomenal trade deal between the u.s. and the uk. theres tremendous potential in that trade deal. i say probably two and even three times of what we're doing right now. tremendous potential. 75 years ago this temperatures, courageous americans and british patriots set out from this island to history's most important battle.
6:18 am
they stormed forward out of ships and airplanes, risking everything to defend our people and to ensure that the united states and britain would forever remain sovereign and forever remain free. following this press conference, prime minister may, mr. may, the first lady, my family and i will visit the legendary churchill war rooms beneath the streets of london. i look forward to that. in his famous speech on this day in june 1940, prime minister churchill urged his countrymen to defend our island, whatever the cost may be. as we mark this solemn anniversary of d-day, we remember that the defense of our nations does not begin on the battlefield but within the heart of every patriot. today let us renew our pledge
6:19 am
engraved at the american cemetery in normandy, in st. paul's cathedral here in ldon that the cause for which they died shall live. prime minister may, it's been a true honor. i have greatly enjoyed working with you. you are a tremendous professional and a person that loves your country dealer. thank you very much. really an honor. thank you for the invitation to memorialize our fallen heroes and for your partnership in protecting and advancing the extraordinary lives between the american and the british people. it's the greatest alliance the world has ever known. thank you, prime minister. thank you. >> thank you. thank you very much. [ applause ]. thank you.
6:20 am
now we are going to take two questions from the uk media and two questions from the american media. i'll start with beth rigby. >> thank you. thank you, prime minister and president trump. from sky news. for you, president trump, as you hold talks with the current prime minister, the leader of her majesty's opposition has been addressing a protest rally against your visit in trafalgar square. he says he's disappointed you attacked the london mayor and criticized your record on refugees. what do you have to say to him and is this man someone you could do a trade deal with. and to you prime minister, do you think that sadiq khan is a stone cold loser? thank you. >> you're talking about the mayor of london? that's who you said. i understand he's not been a good mayor, crime is up. a lot of problems. and i don't think he should be criticizing a representative of
6:21 am
the united states that can do so much good for the united kingdom. we talked about it before. he should be positive, not negative. he's a negative force not a positive force. and if you look at what he said, he hurts the people of this great country. and i think he should actually focus on his job and be a lot better if he did that. he could straighten out some of the problems that he has and probably some of the problems that he's caused. thank you. >> (inaudible). >> he wanted to meet with me, and i told him no. >> (inaudible). >> i don't know jeremy corbyn. never met him. never spoke with him. he wanted to meet today or tomorrow, and i decided i would not do that. i think that he is -- from where i come from, somewhat of a negative force. i think that the people should
6:22 am
look to do things correctly as opposed to criticize. i really don't like critics as much as i like and respect people that get things done. so i have decided not to meet. as far as the protests, because i commented on it yesterday. we left the prime minister, the queen, the royal family. there were thousands of people on the streets cheering. and even coming over today, there were thousands of people cheering. and then i heard that there were protesters. i said where are the protests? i don't see any protests. i did see a small protest today. very small. a lot of it is fake news. you saw people raising the flag. there was love. great love. there was an alliance. and i didn't see the protesters until just a little while ago. and it was a very, very small group of people put in for political reasons. so it was fake news. thank you. >> and i would say to both, the
6:23 am
discussions that we have had today are about the future of this most important relationship between the u.s. and the uk. as the president described it, the greatest alliance the world has seen. it is this deep special relationship and partnership between the united states and the united kingdom that ensures our safety and security and the safety and security of others around the world, too. and it is this relationship that helps to ensure there are jobs that employ people here in the uk and in the united states that underpins our prosperity and our future. that is a relationship we should cherish. it is a relationship we should build on. it is a relationship we should be proud of. >> very big -- this is a very big and importance a lines. and i think people should act positively toward it. it means so much for both countries. it means so much. and it's been so good. steve holland? yes, go ahead, steve.
6:24 am
>> thank you, mr. president. thank you. what is your current view on brexit? britain leaving the european union if there is no agreement by october 31st. and for the prime minister, what would be the ramifications for the uk if there is not a deal? . >> well, i don't like to take positions in things that i'm not, you know, really -- i understand the issue very well. i really predicted what was going to happen. some of you remember that prediction. it was a strong prediction on a location on a development we were hoping the day before it happened. and i thought it would happen because of immigration more than anything else. probably it happens for a lot of reasons. i would say, yeah, i would think it will happen and it probably should happen. this is a great, great country. and it wants its own identity. it wants to have its own borders. it wants to run its own affairs. this is a very, very special place. and i think it deserves a
6:25 am
special place. and i thought maybe for that reason, and for others pwrb but for that reason it was going to happen. yeah, i think it will happen. and i think the prime minister has brought it to a very good point where something will take place in the not too distance future. i think she has done a very good job. i believe it would be good for the country, yes. >> and from my point of view, i believe it is important for us to deliver brexit. with he gave that choice to the british people. parliament overwhelming there i gave the choice to the british people. we should now continue on that choice. i believe it is in the best interest of the uk to leave the european union with a deal. i think we have a good deal. sadly, the labor part and other mps so far have stopped us from delivering brexit in that deal. but we will -- but obviously this is an issue that is going to continue here in the uk. and i think the important thing is we deliver brexit. once we're out of the european union, we will be able to do what we have been talking about today and develop not just the
6:26 am
free trade agreement but broader economic partnership into the future. >> mr. president, are you prepared to impose limits on intelligence sharing with britain if they do not put in place restrictions on huawei? >> no. about us we're going to have absolutely an agreement on huawei and everything else. we have an incredible intelligence relationship. and we will be able to work out any differences. i think we're not going to have it. we did discuss it. i see absolutely no limitations. we have never had limitations. this is a truly great ally and partner. we'll have no problem with that. okay. >> frances? >> mr. president, from the "times". do you agree with your ambassador that the entire economy needs to be in a future trade deal, including the nhs. and prime minister, will you stick around a bit until the trade deal is done? >> i think we're going to have a great trade deal, yes.
6:27 am
i think we're going to have a great and very comprehensive trade deal. >> (inaudible). >> i can't hear. look, i think everything with a trade deal is on the table. when you're dealing in trade, everything is on the table. so nhs and everything else. everything will be on the table, absolutely. okay. >> but the point about making trade deals is of course both sides negotiate and come to an agreement about what should or should not be in the trade deal. and to answer your second question, frances. nice try. but no. look, i'm a woman of my word. mr. president, would you like to -- >> john, please. >> mr. president, thank you. mr. president, domestically, in recent days, mexico has stepped
6:28 am
up apprehensions and deportationings of central american migrants. >> that's good. >> this could possibly be in response to your threat of terrorists. >> not possibly be. >> has mexico done enough to avoid tariffs, which will be imposed some six days from now. >> no. we haven't started out. >> but the threat is out there. >> but we haven't really started yet. no. this will take effect next week, 5%. >> what do you think of republicans who may block you in blocking those tariffs? >> i don't think if they will do that. if they do, it's foolish. nothing is more important than borders. i have had tremendous republican support. 94% approval rating as of this morning in the republican party. that's an all-time record. can you believe that? isn't that something? i love records. but we have a 94% approval rating in the republican party. i want to see security at our border. i'm going to see great trade. i'm going to see a lot of things
6:29 am
happening. that is happening. as you know, mexico called. they're going to meet on wednesday. secretary pompeo is going to be at the meeting along with a few others that are very good at this. and we are going to see if we can do something. about you i think it is more likely that the tariffs go on and we'll probably be talking during the time that the tariffs are on and they're going to be paid. and if they don't step up and give us security for our nation, look, millions of people are flowing through mexico. that is unacceptable. millions and millions of people are coming right through mexico. it's a 2,000 mile adjoujourneaj. our border patrol is incredible. they are apprehending them. but the laws are bad because democrats don't want to pass laws that could be passed in 15 minutes, that could be passed quickly. in one day, it could change. even beyond the laws, mexico haopbt allow millions of people to try and enter our country. and they could shouldn't it very
6:30 am
quickly. and i think they will. and if they won't, we're going to put tariffs on them. every month the tariffs go from 5% to 10% to 15%, 20% and then to 25%. what happens is all of those countries that have left our country and gone to mexico are going to be coming back to us. and that's okay. that's okay. but i think mexico will step up and do what they should have been done. and i don't want to hear that mexico is run by the cartels and the drug lords and the coyotes. i don't want to hear about that. a lot of people are saying that. mexico has something to prove. but i don't want to hear that they're run by the cartels. you understand. you report on it all the time. a lot of people do. that would be a terrible thing. mexico should step up and stop this onslaught, this invasion into our country, john. >> prime minister may, you tried three times to get a deal on brexit. at this point, do you believe that a deal on brexit is
6:31 am
possible, or is this a gordian knot? president trump said you didn't take his advice in terms of negotiation. should you have? would that have made a difference? and president trump if i could ask a follow-up, you had a conversation with boris johnson. could we ask what you spoke about and will you meet with michael goff today. >> well, first of all, on the first answer, i said your answer to an earlier question. i personally believe it is in the best interest of the uk to leave the european union with a deal. i believe there is a good deal on the table. obviously, it will be for whoever succeeds me as prime minister to take this issue forward. what is paramount, i believe, is delivering on brexit for the british people. and i seem to remember the president suggesting that i sue the european union, which we didn't do. we went into negotiations and came out with a good deal. >> yeah. i would have sued, but that's okay. i would have sued and settled maybe. but you never know.
6:32 am
she's probably a better negotiator than i am, jeremy. but you know what, she has got it in a sense, john. that deal is teed up. it is really teed up. i think they have to do something. and perhaps you won't be given the credit that you deserve if they do something. but i think you deserve a lot of credit. i really do. i think you deserve a lot of credit. okay. yes, john? >> (inaudible). >> so i know, boris. i like him. i have liked him for a long t e time. i think he will do a very good job. i think jeremy will do a very good job. i don't know michael. would he do a good job, jeremy? tell me. thank you very much. thank you very much. [ applause ]. >> the president and the prime minister exiting after a news conference that went on for about a half hour. they have remarks on the
6:33 am
anniversary of d-day, which will be commemorated in france later this week, as well as a lot of discussion of an impending trade deal should the brexit plan, uk's exit from the european union go forward. thrts a lot of talk between our two countries about a trade deal. also talked about shared cooperation on security. and not a little bit of british politics. a lot of british politics being part of that news conference. let's go right to peter alexander, our correspondent who is traveling with the president. what did you take away? >> well, savannah, i was struck by the president cutely say i don't like to take positions on these things when asked about brexit. obviously the president has made his position very clear. a very aggressive position he has towards brexit, even criticizing theresa may in advance of this visit saying the uk has given away its leverage from the eu, that they should walk away from the table if necessary. he had p strong opinions not unexpected about london's mayor
6:34 am
sadiq khan who traded insults with him even in advance of the president's arrival here. the president called khan a stone cold loser. he criticized him today saying he is a negative force not a positive force. and about those protests, more than 10,000 people have gathered in the streets of london despite what is a chilly, windy, rainy, very british day here, the president said the descriptionings of protesters on the streets were, as you described it, fake news. he said in fact, he saw thousands of people out there cheering for him today. we haven't seen the giant crowds cheering for him. but there are certainly protesrs on the streets here. savannah, the only other thing i was struck by is theresa may, the lamest of lame duck prime ministers will be stepping down, becoming a care taker prime minister. really sort of detailing the places where these two countries have now seen division on the paris climate agreement, on the iran nuclear deal and variety of
6:35 am
other topics. remains to be seen how special the special relationship will be going forward. >> all right. we will continue. certainly an upbeat performance from the two leaders despite, as you mentioned, some of the rifts that have taken before the president came for this state visit. as we know, he had the royal treatment last night, dinner with the queen, all the royals assembled for the pomp and pageantry. today being all about the politics. richard engel is in london where one of the biggest protests has been taking place in trafalgar square. what have you been seeing, richard? we'll continue to follow what is going on in london with the president visiting that area. first we want to bring your local news as well. good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us for "today in the bay". i'm laura garcia. >> i'm kris sanchez in for marcus washington. we want to get right to your forecast as you may be heading out the door this morning. >> we're starting out with
6:36 am
sunshine, slightly warmer temperatures than we normally feel during the morning hours. if you're heading out the door, expect it to be in the lower 60s in los gatos. it will be hotter today than yesterday. mid-80s by 2:00. some inland valleys will reach the 90s today. so we'll get a look at all of this in just a few minutes. mike, you are getting a little bit of a heads-up for people heading toward the bay bridge. >> definitely, definitely. yeah. the bay bridge backup is one thing. bring the sun glasses. the timing can shift with the sunrise through the spring and into the summer months. we also have the summertime traffic as far as the school year goes. elementary schools, high school graduations today. my kids have another week of school. the lighter flowing kicking in. northbound 87, crash clear on the capital expressway.
6:37 am

6:38 am
were sent home from tk, transitional kindergarten classroom. and some went home with the nasty stomach bug. parents will keep a closer eye on their kids at home. >> usually the stomach bug hits you at 3:00 in the morning when your daughter runs in and says, i think i'm going to throw up! yeah, it is concerning. >> the last week of school, i definitely want her to have some fun and enjoy school. but also everybody's health matters, too. >> reporter: take a look at your tv screen. we put up important information. the public health department said they are common in schools and facilities this time of year. best way to prevent it wash your hands with soap and water. that is better than hand sanitizers. you should stay home for 48 hours after the symptoms stop. bob redell, "today in the bay". so concerning there. thanks a lot, bob.
6:39 am
6:38. one week from today, school is out for students in union city and hayward. it doesn't mean much with the new haven school district teachers in their third week of a bitter strike. both sides remain far apart in negotiations. teachers plan to attend tonight's school board meeting. yesterday they were joined by teachers from oakland schools who walked off the job one week earlier this year. pride month is under way. it is june 4th. will decide today whether to fly the rainbow flag at all. sharon katsuda will explain how the controversy is taking center stage. we are already four days into >> reporter: good morning, kris. a peaceful morning out here. you can see the beautiful flags behind me. you can see the flags here. that's the city of dublin flag. the state of california. and the u.s. flag is up there. it is calm and peaceful. this issue is definitely not over yet. after much heated debate the city of dublin voted down the idea of flying the rainbow flag, which is why you only see the
6:40 am
