tv   Today in the Bay  NBC  July 15, 2019 6:00am-7:01am PDT

6:00 am
a very good monday morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm scott mcgrew. marcus washington has the day off. we've got mike and kari here. let's get a start of your monday morning forecast. >> it starts out nice and clear across the bay area. no fog at the golden gate bridge so as you get ready for your drive this morning, grab some sunglasses. as we take a live look at the golden gate bridge, it is a clear, beautiful sunrise. toward fremont, going out to the warm springs b.a.r.t. station it will be 62 degrees stepping out the door, and some low 80s by early afternoon. so a nice warmup for parts of the bay area but then feeling hot in others. we'll talk more about that in a few minutes. mike, you're talking about that morning commute, only a couple of problem spots. >> that's right, only a couple of problem spots, one of them just came in with more detail. we start off talking about the bay bridge toll plaza. standard summertime commute but here on the upper east shore freeway the change in the traffic pattern, there was a
6:01 am
traffic break i believe, there's a change in status as well. we just learned this from chp, that the crash eastbound, so counter commute 80 at hilltop drive, we do have a deadly crash reported now. someone has died as a result of a traffic incident here coming up through san pablo that, will show you down, counter commute, headed up toward the carquinez bridge but the activity may be a distraction as well for folks countering westbound so we'll track that and bring you as many details as i can through the area. the tri-valley we believe the earlier crash cleared just south of 84 interstate 680 but there may be another crash in the area. we're tracking the tri-valley. back to you. developing now we're waiting to see if there will be more i.c.e. raids today in san francisco, in particular. i.c.e. claims it will target as many as 2,000 undocumented immigrants who have already been ordered by the courts to leave the country. >> "today in the bay's" kr"''s'
6:02 am
boswell is live in washington, d.c. the raids are leaving a lot of communities on edge. >> that critics say is the goal is to stoke fear, scott and laura. good morning. good morning, everyone. as promised by president trump or really as advertised by president trump, immigration officials say they have begun raids targeting some 2,000 undocumented immigrants, those who have been ordered by courts to be taken out of the country or those with criminal backgrounds. the raids in some nine, possibly ten cities getting under way on sunday. getting under way much slower than as advertised by the administration. there's not these video of arrests. there's not, of course the only video we've seen is government car pulling up, but critics are saying the difference is that undocumented immigrants around those being targeted might also be rounded up and that, they say, is again goes back to the intention, which is to cause fear, to stoke fear in the
6:03 am
immigrant community. the acting director of i.c.e., ken cuccinelli here in washington, d.c., on the sunday shows defended the raids and when asked if he'd separate children from families would only say that families are part of those being targeted. scott and laura, this is an interesting statistic. according to i.c.e. statistics, more than 256,000 people were deported last year, so 2,000 is a very small number and plays in to critics who say that this is really just intended to stoke fear in the immigrant community, and really be a re-election issue for the president. back to you. >> craig boswell in washington, thank you. back here in the bay area, immigrant groups say they're not letting their guard down just yet. >> sharon katsuda continuing coverage in san francisco showing us why san francisco groups are on alert. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, laura and scott. the i.c.e. office behind me is closed right now but overnight, many were wondering whether i.c.e. would come after them.
6:04 am
at the mission district yesterday, it was noticeably quiet. immigrant support groups say for the past few weeks because of the possible raids they warned the communities to call and report any i.c.e. activity and warned immigrants about their rights. in san rafael, i.c.e. was reportedly spotted over the weekend, but so far no word of any raids or arrests here in the bay area. >> we were ready not only this week but ready weeks before. we thought if i.c.e. is going to strike they'll strike on a day not announced by the president. >> we have could do something. if it means i got to stand out here a few hours in the hot sun and hand out flyers, i'm going to do that. >> reporter: one i.c.e. official says they're not technically considered undocumented immigrants, because they have gone through the court system, and that's the target of these raids. we're hearing i.c.e. made a handful of arrests in new york yesterday, and these i.c.e. raids are supposed to go on throughout this week.
6:05 am
so immigrant support groups say there's still high anxiety in the bay area communities. reporting live in san francisco, i'm sharon katsuda, "today in the bay." >> understandable. thank you very much, sharon. >> we will continue to follow the latest on the immigration related stories for the most up-to-date information when we're not on television, go to our website, nbcbayarea.com. it is 6:05 right now, and happening today, sentencing for the snow has ma county man investigators believed killed a young couple on a north bay beach 15 years ago. sean gallon entered a no contest plea last thursday. authorities say he shot and killed two young camp counselors from ohio on a secluded jenner beach in 2004. the two were engaged. he's also accused of trying to kill a man in guerneville and later killing his brother in forestville. in exchange for the no contest plea, prosecutors will not seek the death penalty. a 4-year-old girl was pepper sprayed last night during a fight. san jose police are asking a lot of questions. >> it happened at a 7-eleven at monterey. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live with what witnesses saw.
6:06 am
kris? >> reporter: hi there, laura and scott. the witness who was inside, an employee of the -eleven store said this is something unlike anything he has ever seen before. this is video from when police arrived and started asking questions. it was just before 11:00 last night. they were investigating how a fight between two grown women escalated to the point that a child was sprayed with pepper spray. at this point, it is not clear if the woman who sprayed the pepper spray intended for the child to be hit. or if it was an accident. what we do know is that the little girl and the woman she was with ran into the store looking for help, looking for water to wash out their eyes. the employee who witnessed it said it was so shameful. >> they need to solve their things maturely, not like this, using pepper spray and involving the kid. >> reporter: now police were asking questions both here at the 7-eleven store on monterey road and at an apartment complex
6:07 am
not too far away. if anyone is facing charges at this point, police have not told us that but we will keep asking. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thanks for the latest, kris. >> 6:07 on your monday morning. prosecutors expected to present rebuttal witnesses in the deadly ghost ship warehouse fire trial. last week, defendant derick almena wrapped up his testimony. almena was at times remorseful, at times defiant. he also placed blame on the city of oakland and the owners of the warehouse for the deadly fire. once the rebuttal testimony concludes, a break will begin until the week of july 29th, when closing arguments are scheduled. happening today, amazon, other retailers hoping to set off a bit of a summer shopping frenzy. >> amazon's fifth annual prime day sale is under way. the online retailer is promising more than a million deals and hopes to avoid a website crash
6:08 am
that hindered sales last year. to capitalize on the deals you have to have an amazon prime membership. not to be outdone, dozens of other retailers including target and walmart running some sales today in that big effort to compete. the race for spending comes as traditional retailers face a tough year, more than 7,400 stores have closed their doors so far in 2019. >> amazon created this new spike and massive implications for retail in other retailers have to have their share of that wallet. if that wallet share goes on, i think it's going to see target and walmart and best buy suffer even more. >> several employees at an amazon plant outside minneapolis plan to strike today, calling for better wages and working conditions. however, amazon says it will not have an impact on operations. the "today" show will have much more about all the deals being offered, that's all coming up at 7:00 a.m. you may recall during the christmas season, i track prices, insta pot is one of the popular things. i got the alert instapot is cheaper than it was on black friday. so if you were waiting, i
6:09 am
suppose tad oday is the day. soups and stews probably not what we want. >> salad. >> you don't want to heat up your house by cooking. >> not only kari's classes but cooking classes. >> what's in kari's kitchen, later today. los gatos today our temperatures in the mid-60s to start out, nice and cool, but it's going to heat up into the mid 80s again later today. the wind will be kicking up, so you're going to feel some gusty winds into the afternoon. here we are at noon, our wind speeds generally at about 15 to up to 20 miles per hour. look at what happens this evening especially in the tri-valley, some of our coastal areas, wind speeds 20 to 30 miles per hour, even stronger later on this evening, along the coast. so it's going to not only be warm but breezy, some of those hot winds kicking up in antioch reaching 90 degrees today and some mid-60s for the coastline.
6:10 am
let's head over to mike. you have a concern for san pablo drivers. >> i do. drivers through san pablo be careful. counter commute, we warned folks, westbound your commute coming off the carquinez bridge that's just fine. a little distracted because of this deadly crash, the traffic alert that's been issued by chp eastbound 80, at el portal, the earlier crash we've been tracking, we have reports someone died as a result of that crash and you're right, two lanes are blocked so your freeway blocked headed eastbound through san pablo, counter commute. if you're used to the counter commute being easy that will delay you by about ten minutes. keep that in mind headed toward the carquinez bridge. an earlier crash cleared south 680 past highway 84. in the earlier backup there was another crash on the shoulder, still recovery as you head down 680 through pleasanten i don'on bad. 880, hayward, union city and the south bay slowing cleared from the first slowing. we'll see the second one kick in 6:30. no delays for the transit
6:11 am
agencies, good stuff. back to you. >> thank you, mike. coming up next on "today in the bay," it's 6:10. boeing 737 max planes are grounded. american airlines keeping those planes out of the sky. we've got a look at the new time line that is affecting passengers. and -- ♪ >> come together, sort of. the beatles back at least half of them. the mini reunion of paul mccartney and ringo starr. you're watching "today in the bay."
6:12 am
6:13 am
6:14 am
right now at 6:14, it's a sunny start. most of us in the 60s, and concord at 10:00 we're at 77 degrees. whatever you have to do outside, try to get it done early, before it reaches 90 degrees. we'll be there at 3:00. we'll get a look at all of our microclimates and the rest of the forecast for the week ahead in less than five minutes. sunny here for the san mateo bridge. a nice drive westbound, slowing a bit because the volume increases. we have a crash, a deadly crash in the east shore freeway. we'll talk about what we see shaping up for travel times there. good morning. i'm rahel solomon at cnbc headquarters. here are today's top business headlines. wall street is set to open slightly higher this morning,
6:15 am
despite data out of china showing growth in the world second largest economy slowed this spring. the markets are coming up positive friday that saw the dow nasdaq, and s&p 500 posted fresh record highs. on the watch list, data on retail sales, manufacturing, housing and the consumer. earnings season gets under way with citigroup's numbers this morning. american airlines will keep the boeing 737 max off its schedule until at least november 3rd, two months longer than it had planned. american is canceling roughly 115 flights per day. the airline is confident the max will be recertified by the faa. united has extended cancellations until early november. the "wall street journal" reporting that fixing the max's flight control software and completing other steps will likely stretch into 2020. and barney's, new york, is exploring a bankruptcy filing as it struggled with high rent and changes in consumer taste. reports say that the nearly 100-year-old store could file for chapter 11 in the coming weeks. barney's has 15 flagship regional and boutique department stores in the u.s. including on madison avenue here in new york, beverly
6:16 am
hills, san francisco and chicago as well, this would be one of the highest profile victims of the downturn in retail. sears, toys "r" us and jamboree also filing for bankruptcy in the past year. scott and laura, back to you. >> amazing to see all those names in retail. thanks a lot. it's not huge by lotto standards but a mystery. we have no idea who holds a million-dollar powerball ticket purchased in san jose for saturday's drawing. >> maybe our new next best friend, hmm? you can probably assume they want it that way, right? at any rate the winner correctly picking all five winning numbers, except the powerball. they bought their ticket at the 7-eleven on moore park avenue in san jose, close to lawrence expressway. the store gets up to one-half percent of the prize value, about $6,000 in this one. >> that turns out to be about a third of a house. that's pretty exciting. >> no kidding, in the bay area. as parents can attest, coaxing little ones into the pool for their first swimming lesson can be a challenge.
6:17 am
>> it's why you want to help, get some help from experts. rush park sacramento, some real life mermaids made things easy. swim lessons were part of the california mermaid convention, yes, that's a thing. an event that's only been around for five years in sacramento but everybody seemed to agree it's making waves. delta mermaids. >> you're right. >> you know what, though? do they teach their students how to breathe? because don't mermaids breathe underwater? >> right. >> different style. >> they looked like they were lounging. it would be tough to teach like that. >> all the dads were taking the kids to the pool. >> yeah. >> for the swim lessons because this is important, people! >> where is the mermen? >> we don't need to see them. >> ethel merman? >> we're trying to cool off and this is our typical summer pattern where we see a wide
6:18 am
range in temperatures. let's get you with a live look in oakland as the sun comes over the hills. it's a beautiful start to the day, and recently we've had a lot of clouds at least for the early hours, but we're not seeing that right now. as the marine layer has retreated back away from the coastline. so our temperatures are already starting to spread out. check out brentwood. we're at 75 degrees. we mostly have some upper 50s and low 60s as you get ready to head out the door. if you're in oakley, you want to go to the playground enjoying time at the park. expect temperatures in the next hour or so around 68 degrees, and then starting to warm up. we're already at 79 degrees at 10:00. at noon, it is 86, and it's going to be a hot day, as we top out in the 90s. but before you step out, if you're allergic to tree pollen, especially the locust that's blooming and floating through the air, that's the highest amount we've seen on the pollen count. our temperatures today headed up to 88 degrees in livermore, while san jose will top out at
6:19 am
83 degrees. we're seeing a high of 85 today in napa, and some upper 60s in san francisco. so we have the cool at times cloudy coast and the warm valleys. high pressure still remains over the desert southwest. as we go throughout the rest of the week, we are going to see an area of low pressure moving across the pacific northwest, bringing seattle a little bit of rain, while we will have a stronger onshore wind flow, and some cooler temperatures, just slightly for the weekend. so this is the way the week shapes up for us. inland areas in the mid 80s for the next several days, and dropping into the lower 80s once again just a slight cooldown. san francisco will see also a slight cooldown by the weekend, but we're in the upper 60s, so it's just going to be cool all throughout the week, with some gusty winds. and as we head over to mike, you're tracking a very serious crash in the east bay. >> that's right, kari, the reason why chp has called the traffic alert for the upper east shore freeway. now, if we look purely at the commute data, we're worried about the slowing so we do worry
6:20 am
about the loss and the damage over there on the freeway and the people involved but we're looking at the slower drive as far as two lanes being blocked and the east sheer freeway counter commute. it's a minor delay as far as the slowdown but unexpected so expect maybe five to seven minutes of extra driving as you come up through the area approaching hilltop drive in el portal. looking at the westbound commute that is the issue, the build for the commute coming off the carquinez bridge, just because of the volume and no major problems aside from the backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. which you expect. the tri-valley southbound 680 slow through pleasanton. big crash at 84 cleared. one in the backup approaching the area on the shoulder, a distraction not bad for the tri-valley. hayward feeds over 880 in toward 92 westbound, that's the san mateo bridge, slowing across the flat section and a little build for the volume across the dumbarton bridge as well. wanted to show you the bay bridge toll plaza i guess westbound you seehe fastrak lanes going through the sun is in your eyes if you're traveling eastbound. so you know what to expect at
6:21 am
this time of year and no delays, so b.a.r.t. will help you avoid at backup at the bay bridge toll plaza because that takes you under all that crowd. >> 6:20. coming up next on "today in the bay" an intense search for a missing woman camping east of fresno. >> her husband and family asking for help. the reason she was, they believe she was abducted. and a stolen dog at home, how san francisco police officers found the four-legged friend. but first our team is always on social media, look at "today in the bay's" mike inouye sharing a photo on facebook over the weekend. he had a custom smoothie and fresh sushi at a san jose festival. fun guy for the weekend as well. be sure to follow mike on facebook, instagram and twitter. a little peek behind the scenes. you're watching "today in the bay." - hey, mike.

6:30 am
in san jose as you get ready to head out this morning, we have mid-60s by 7:00 and 74 degrees at 11:00 and mid 80s by 1:00 today. eventually we'll make it into the upper 80s in the south county, and some upper 80s in the east bay, even a few low 90s so we'll talk about that and the 60s along the coast, but mike, you're over the traffic alert all over it. >> traffic alert over here, we see from sky ranger, they're showing us look at this, this guardrail and there's that big rig. folks, what i think happened i'm trying to figure out what went on based on the live shot. i think the truck right here was traveling along, you see the guardrail has been peeled off from the side and looks like it hit that cement there and rolled down the hill. i believe that's the only vehicle involved in the deadly crash eastbound 80. hilltop and el portal, technically it's in richmond.
6:31 am
we'll call with san pablo and up toward the carquinez bridge not a lot of slowing but the commute builds thin that direction. the activity and general slowing through the area anyway but overall a lighter commute. summertime shows the lighter commute at this time of day, 6:30, just starting to kick in for many spots like the tri-valley and hayward. no crash on the nimitz southbound. there may be something going on northbound, we'll check that from fremont coming up. back to you. >> thank you, mike. a developing story we're following, anxiety certainly high this morning from undocumented immigrants. the expected widespread i.c.e. raids didn't pan out in the bay area yesterday. >> "today in the bay's" sharon katsuda is live at the immigrations and customs office in san francisco to show us why immigrants are still on alert. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, laura and scott. this office opens at about 7:30 this morning so we will be asking them once they open whether anything developed overnight, any arrests.
6:32 am
for now we're seeing one protester saying angrily, where are the children? we are hearing undocumented immigrants are still very uneasy, wondering whether i.c.e. will come knocking on their door. in the mission district yesterday it was noticeably quiet. immigrant support groups say for the past few weeks because of the possible raids they've warned the communities to call and report any i.c.e. activity. and warned immigrants about their rights. in san rafael i.c.e. was reportedly spotted over the weeke weekend. so far no arrests in the bay area. >> it means i have to stand out here in the hot sun for a few hours and hand out flyers, i'm going to do that. >> the fear of the raids is almost as powerful and disruptive in people's lives as the raids themselves. >> reporter: i.c.e. arrested a
6:33 am
handful of undocumented immigrants across the country yesterday. now, these i.c.e. raids are expected to take place throughout this week, so we are hearing that many people are still very uneasy in the bay area communities. reporting live in san francisco, i'm sharon katsuda, "today in the bay." >> thank you, sharon. literally this just in to our newsroom right now, the trump administration just proposed a new restriction on asylum seekers. they will be denied at the southern border unless they applied for protection in a third country, not the u.s., and not their home country. of course, the big part of the immigration debate continues to be the conditions at u.s. detention facilities. bay area congresswoman anna eshoo toured a processing center in texas over the weekend. describes what she saw as inhumane adding so many detainees were sick she wore a mask during the tour. she says she saw shoulder to shoulder for hours in cramped holding rooms designed to hold only eight
6:34 am
people. >> very difficult to see human beings like that. the stench alone was repelling. no showers. cold food. they were putting little notes of paper up against the glass saying "help me." >> congresswoman eshoo visited the same facility last year. says it's much more overcrowded now. president trump maintains the allegations of poor conditions at the shelter are overblown. it's 6:34 right now. in just a few hours from now, coast guard station alameda will welcome home one of its cutters after it seized more than a half a billion dollars in drugs. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell live in alameda. bob, the same crew involved in the dramatic video we saw on the internet with a submarine. >> reporter: correct, scott and laura. later this morning the u.s. coast guard cutter "monroe" will return to its home port at coast guard island in alameda.
6:35 am
you'll recall that last week, the coast guard released this very compelling video. it shows the point of view of the crew members from the coast guard cutter "monroe" as they approached a narco sub in the east pacific ocean last month. what is remarkable is watching the men jump on top of the semisubmersible vessel, pound on the hatch and force the drug smugglers to surrender. five people were arrested, 17,000 pounds of cocaine seized. one of 14 busts made by the crew "the monroe" and two other cutters during their 98-day counter narcotics patrol. the group seized a total of 39,000 pounds of cocaine, almost a thousand pounds of marijuana, this was off the coast of mexico and central and south america. street market value $569 million. "the monroe" off-loaded the drugs thursday in san diego. it's due back here in a few
6:36 am
hours. you might not know this, the "monroe" is a fairly new ship commissioned in 2017. this was its first deployment to that region. reporting live in alameda, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks so much, bob. some work from firefighters kept a small grass fire from spreading last night near livermore. they posted some of the pictures of the fire, it started around 7:00 near north livermore avenue and hartford avenue. about three acres burned. firefighters say no structures or livestock were threatened. >> 6:36. a vallejo woman wanted for outstanding warrants is behind bars. officers pulled over lynette williams for a traffic violation last week in hercules. police say she gave them a fake i.d., insisting she was someone else. later, she admitted her real name, and that's when officers found out williams was wanted for seven outstanding misdemeanor warrants for crimes in solano and napa counties. while searching her car, police say officers found several credit cards, licenses and social security cards. >> 6:36. improvements will soon be coming to bay area airports thanks to recently approved federal funding.
6:37 am
the department of transportation recently signed off on funding for four bay area airports. sfo will receive about $15 million for runway reconstruction. oakland airport is getting $3.5 million for road repairs. nearly $4 million will go to concord's buchanan field for the runway and lighting improvements. livermore airport getting $300,000 to help repair a taxiway. >> all right, speaking of the airways, sounds like you were doing some work on where the chopper is. >> we were trying to track down sky ranger. they are still over the scene, folks, still showing the same thing i showed you last time right here. we see, we have that railing peeled off and the big rig involved in the deadly crash down here at the bottom. i believe the coroner just arrived. i saw a van arrive and the equipment and the procedure looks like they're doing that part of the investigation. so we're looking at a slower drive as you head through the area because the two lanes are blocked above me. let me show you what's going on as far as on the maps. the slowing with the two lanes blocked counter commute headed
6:38 am
up toward el portal. we have the slowdown shown up over the last few minutes getting bigger now. that's counter commute and unexpected. commute in the westbound direction holding up nicely through the area so we'll follow that traffic flows smoothly mostly past the scene, despite the two lanes blocked. the rest of the bay shows a nice, easy even drive through hayward, san jose, pleasanton. here is the south bay, just starting to see the commute build a little bit right now, right on time for that later summertime build. >> that's right, everybody sleeps in, in the summertime. >> summer camps. >> that's right. >> and it's going to be a warm summertime. >> yes, my son starts swim classes. >> with the mermaids? >> no, not with the mermaids. >> i'll take him. i got it. i got it. >> we have some great warm weather today, and then as we go toward the weekend, it just cools off slightly, but really not too much and for san francisco, we're also coming down a few more degrees. you may see a few more clouds and fog by the weekend. that's a live look at squaw
6:39 am
valley this morning. if you're going to the sierra, lucky you. we have some beautiful weather continuing there with mid-70s, and napa valley also really nice for the weekend, with friday's high temperature at 77. some low 80s for saturday and sunday and checking out half moon bay, staying cool and breezy, at times the fog drifting by, some low 60s for our afternoon highs. if you're going to l.a. this weekend, we do have some low 70s, and it will be a little bit hotter for the inland areas. let me know where you're going and what you're doing for this upcoming weekend. i know it's just monday but we're already starting to make some plans. i'm @karihallweather, twitter, facebook and instagram. coming up, a sad turn for a missing veteran tv actor, now believed to be dead. the discovery in the remote wilderness that has his family fearing the worst. and an apology from the ceo of juul. the reason the vaping company
