your air conditioning like i was yesterday. >> it was nice to turn off the ac, but we'll be blasting it by the end of the week unfortunately. here is a live look outside in san francisco, a lot of clouds overhead, that will linger throughout much of the day. so our temperatures at 10:00 mostly in the 60s headed into the upper 60s and low 70s by lunch time, and then as we go into the afternoon, those temperatures spread out. we'll still see those low 60s near the coast w soith low 80s the inland valleys. mike you're taking us back to sf. >> that's right because of the crash. green sensors over most of the bay, a little slowing out of the altamont, you expect that and road crews moving around, temporary slowing as well for those areas. now we do see speed sensors improving south 101 connector to 280 reported closed by chp but the last three minutes have shown speed sensors move in the higher speed directions so i think they reopened that connector, as they anticipated. we'll track that again south 101 at 280, the crash we're tracking
5:01 am
and i'll show you the bay bridge coming up. new today, after several high-profile deadly police shootings, there is a new bill outlining when police can use deadly force. "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us live from the newsroom and all that's needed now is governor newsom's signature. so what's this about? >> correct, kris. governor gavin newsom is expected to sign a law assembly bill 392 which cleared the legislative late yesterday and on its way to his desk for signature. assuming bill 392 becomes standard, there will be a new when officers can open fire on a suspect, only when the officer needs to defend against imminent threat of death or serious injury to themselves or innocent civilians. the current standard for deadly force is when the officer thinks it's "reasonable." the new law would elevate to when it's "necessary." lawmakers created legislation after public anger over fatal police shootings, including that of stefan clark shot by police
5:02 am
after responding responding to a car burglary mistook his cell phone for a gun. here's assemblywoman shirley weber, coauthor of the new law. >> we're optimistic that will open up conversations about the use of force and what it means in every community and when it occu occurs, what does it really mean. it empowers people in the community who felt so powerless that when things happen, they didn't have a voice, they didn't understand the system and they couldn't make rational decisions as to what took place, whether it was necessary to be done or not. >> a number of law enforcement groups are against this bill. earlier this year the california fraternal order of police said ab 392 creates a "impossible standard" and that officers often face tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving life and death situations. the problem is the standard would be applied in hindsight, unquote. reporting live here in the newsroom,ed abo newsroom, bob redell, "today in the bay."
5:03 am
>> thank you, bob. just released san jose police body camera shows the deadly police shooting of a man with an axe, you might remember it happened two years ago. yesterday the district attorney's office cleared that officer. >> we're going to have to put this down, dude. this isn't a fire. >> officers were responding to a bomb threat in may of 2017 and when police responded to the call, they saw smoke coming from an apartment unit. they kicked open the door to find that man with an axe. they repeatedly ordered that man to drop the axe. he refused and started moving toward the officers. the officers first tried to tase him and when that didn't work, one of the officers fired and the man was shot dead. an autopsy later showed the suspect was high on meth at the time. now to capitol hill this morning. president trump's administration is trying to put the citizenship question back on the census, this despite the supreme court decision against it.

5:04 am
tracie? >> marcus, good morning. so the court has spoken and the administration said they were printing the census without that citizenship question. it seemed like case closed, but it's not. president trump says he's considering an executive order to include a citizenship question on the census, despite the u.s. supreme court ruling against it. >> we can start the printing now and maybe do an addendum after we get a positive decision, so we're working on a lot of things, including an executive order. >> it does provide a pathway for getting the question on the census. >> reporter: the court said the government's reason for asking citizenship isn't good enough. the justice department has brought in a new team to fight cases in new york, california and maryland. opponents argue the question will discourage participation in mostly democratic immigrant communities. >> his hat "make america white

the life guard was on patrol and rescue crews say the girl happened to be crouched in the sand. the hospital has not revealed the extent of her injuries but they say she is in good condition. also in southern california this morning a violent family fight at disneyland is under investigation and the whole thing was caught on camera. >> we want to warn you, this video is disturbing. >> stop it! stop it! >> anaheim police say that they are now considering whether to file criminal charges against these family members. this happened on saturday. the police department said officers arrived and escorted the family from the park. however, no charges were filed because they "wanted nothing done." officers say that at the time they were not aware of this video footage and that now they are opening an investigation. also a southern california fertility clinic is accused of a shocking mistake. >> one woman says that an ivf mixup led to her giving birth to another couple's babies.
5:44 am
the cha clinic is based in los angeles and a federal lawsuit filed by an unnamed new york couple says the clinic act with reckless disregard. er if tilts doctors not associated with the lawsuit say most ivf clinics have ways to avoid errors just like this one. >> you should have several safe guards at every level for checking, double-checking, rechecking, triple-checking and then checking again so that it doesn't happen. >> two other clinics came under fire just last year including the pa trsk fertility center in san francisco, where a liquid nitrogen tank failed, possibly impacting thousands of eggs and embryos for 400 patients. the cha clinic has not responded to nbc news' request for comment. new this morning, u.s. governors are standing up for california in its battle against white house plans to relax mileage standards. 23 governors, almost all
5:45 am
democrats, have signed the pledge commits to sticking to the obama era goals and standards meant to reduce carbon emissions. california is leading that effort. the white house wants to loosen the standards laid out by the obama administration. today is an important day for the future of health care. >> scott mcgrew, the trump administration is attacking obamacare in court. >> the white house may very well win which would leave democrats, republicans, patients wondering what now? the case will get under way today in a federal appeals court in new orleans. even republicans worry about what would happen if they won. it could theoretically mean millions of americans would lose their health care and do so right before a presidential election. while the trump administration and republicans in general have wanted to get rid of the affordable care act, obamacare, there's no specific plan to replace it. attorney general william barr says the effort to put a citizenship question on the census will continue, even after the supreme court said you can't
5:46 am
put a citizenship question on the census. here's white house spokesperson kellyanne conway this morning. >> maybe people don't like the fact that we ask how many toilets are in your house. there are any number of questions that we ask on this census that are invasive, and one would say are invasive and gratuitous and unnecessary, and duplicati duplicative, but they're on there, and nobody's complained about those. >> a vast majority of americans support a citizenship question and questions about citizenship have been on the census many times in the past, but it isn't the question that the courts have issue with. it's the reasoning behind the citizenship question, and the evasiveness and changing stories the white house has given that the courts have issue with. proven to reduce the risk of stroke of a. fib. >> for people with a. fib -- >> president trump's push to force drug companies to put prices on their tv ads is
5:47 am
running into a block once again from the courts which said the department of health and human services overstepped its authority. the white house had hoped posting prices would lower those prices. it doesn't mean the effort's over. the court says congress would be within its right to pass a similar rule. that rule was supposed to take effect today. we're watching everything that's going to happen in new orleans today, as i said it's one of the most serious threats to the aca that we've seen in years. you can follow me on twitter. i'm @scottmcgrew. 5:47. sometimes even when you lose, you win over hearts everywhere. >> for example our girl coc coco gauff. the 15-year-old's magical run at wimbledon may be over but the magic appears to be just beginning. >> is it starting to hit you now, what just happened? >> honestly, no. i mean, i woke up and i'm still living a dream even though i'm

5:49 am
forecast comes up at the bottom of the screen. here is a look at our temperatures right now as you get ready to step out the door, some upper 40s in napa. it is chilly but feeling a little milder in oakland right now at 59 degrees. as you head out for your morning commute in brentwood, leaving early it's in the upper 50s. you may have to turn the heater on for a few minutes but later on today, windows down, we'll enjoy some temperatures in the mid-70s by noon. if you want to head out to the park in vallejo, going out early, you still will need a jacket there, temperatures in the mid-50s. by 9:00, we're starting to see our skies clearing, and we'll still be in the 50s, but a lot of sunshine, and warming air very comfortable at 1:00 this afternoon at 70 degrees. eventually we'll reach the upper 70s in napa today with oakland going to see a high of 69. san jose reaching up to 76 degrees, and morgan hill a high of 80 degrees, but check out what's happening here. it's been a long time since i've had to show the satellite and radar, because there's a large storm system approaching the
5:50 am
pacific northwest, and we're starting to see some rain moving in to the far northwestern corner of california. this will not bring us any rain but we'll see a few more clouds today, some breezy winds and an onshore wind flow as that storm system passes to our north. as it quickly moves off to the east and away, high pressure builds across the pacific, across the southwest and so we're going to see that high pressure making our temperatures go up, as our winds shift and blow offshore, and for us, that means inland valleys will have some hot and breezy weather. so we go from the comfortable upper 70s today to the upper 80s by friday, and saturday still pretty hot, reaching 90 degrees, and for san francisco, we're just going to see less in the way of cloud cover and a slight boost in temperatures. mike, you were looking for what's happening at the toll plaza. >> that's right. i want to take a little bit of time to take a closer look at the actual goings on here. we have the lights and immediately people say oh my gosh, the toll plaza is full, at capacity but look, we do see the cash lanes right here, this
5:51 am
section for example here, moving, visibly moving, same thing for the fastrak lanes. any movement means they are getting the cars through and that means the metering lights are also in pretty good pace there. that's why we don't see as much of a backup as we might see during the fall and spring months, winter months i shouldn't give those up as well. the summertime traffic flow is lighter and holds up through the area. slowing in to hercules west 80. no problems kari mentioned brentwood commute out of there, highway 4 slows a bit, westbound through bay point and also vass vasco stretch to two lanes shows traditional slowing. nothing else besides that. the south bay shows a build northbound 101 through san jose and getting down into san jose from fremont 880 southbound with the headlights moving nicely, past the truck scales, i saw flashing lights, turned out to be a payload that's larger so they put the lights to warn folks. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now, intense rainfall is causing flash flooding in some villages in northern spain.
