>> reporter: yeah, one bart official is proposing the potential panhandling ban and other bart officials are not onboard with this idea, but this idea is being proposed to ban panhandling and busting. bust something when individuals are playing music for money on trains and stations, and probably folks have seen that when they are riding bart. the director said she felt inspir inspired to propose the ban because of some of the riders that can't get away from it. and some say it's like banning free speech, and the aclu did not say they would specifically file a suit but said they would have problems. here's what bart riders are saying this morning about this idea.

>> your heart goes out to these people if they are truly in need. >> i would like to see a different -- something else done. >> for the riders it would be good, especially in the rush hour. but there's no room to panhandle in the rush hours any way. >> sometimes dance ing and performing on the bart, it's not too much crowd, it okay, but with the crowd we have to move all around. >> reporter: according to bart's most recently quarterly performance report, riders are saying stations are getting cleaner when it comes to restrooms and platforms. no official vote has been scheduled for the ban. it's 6:05 right now. house speaker phronancy pelosi taking sides in the debate on

tonight's meeting is at 6:00 at san jose city hall. several cities and counties across the state have decided to stop using roundup, the weed killer, and that includes oakland as well as others. the maker of roundup has denied the accusations it could cause cancer, but they have also lost several costly lawsuits. and then sonoma county and its work to rebuild after destructive wine country fires. milk is also a top producer in that county, and several of the farmers producing products did suffer damage in the 2017 wildfires but have since recovered. we want to get a look at the

forecast for today. expecting a warm one, kari? >> yeah, and it's humid as you head out the door. 65 degrees already in santa rosa. 70 in san jose. these are the current temperatures. 71 in brentwood and probably not a good hair day either. if you want to head out for a workout in concord, try to get out there early. you are going to sweat easily because it's so muggy outside. as we go through the day, the air dries out. heading up to 93 for the high today. livermore will see a high of 94. some of our inland areas slightly hotter than yesterday with san jose reaching 88, and 74 today in san francisco. mike, you are tracking two problems for the south bay. >> i am, kari. the bay bridge toll plaza has metering lights on and it's a light build for the bay.

it is 6:13. let's get a look out the window. in walnut creek it's a beautiful sunrise with a few clouds moving by, but overall it feels very

humid and warm with temperatures in the upper 60s and heading into the low 90s by early this afternoon. we do have more hot weather in that forecast. we will take a look at that and the fog near the coast coming up in less than five minutes. while we have all the drama in the south bay with the jam and the crash, we are looking over here towards the bay bridge toll plaza, the backup is there and drive times are not so bad but the build is up for the freeway. happy thursday as well. i want you to look at these numbers from target. they kind of look like a typo. target stock is up 20% here. the retailer says sales are strong and the online and the curbside stuff is really working out. target may be the only store to compete with amazon. san francisco's spunk says it's buying a company for $1 billion. wall street looking over the most recent fed meeting showing

keep the emissions where they are for their states. that means car companies can create two sets of cars, one for one set of states and the other car for the others. president trump calls the car executives foolish and said henry ford is rolling over in his grave. the state of california is pouring all kinds of resources in this fight against the white house. the white house has one very bright single staffer working alone on this who inherited the job when his predecessors moved on. bloomberg says the next iphone

their fins at swimming in the more shallow areas of the pool's inclosure, and they are doing what they do best, laying low. it's going to be a good day to go swimming or head to the pier, and maybe we can check out our own baby seals around here. we are starting out with fog. you can barely see anything as you cross the golden gate bridge. we will have to deal with this for a couple more hours but it will clear out quickly. the inland areas are heating up. we are already feeling humidity. concord, upper 60s. 86 degrees at noon. it's going to be warming up there. it's the second day of school in the san jose evergreen school

district. it will be warmer this morning compared to yesterday. we are at 72 at 10:00. they will see those temperatures in the mid-80s by early afternoon, so warming up as we reach near 88 degrees today in downtown san jose. morgan hill up to 93. also 93 in concord. clear lake and santa rosa, we're looking at a high of 92. san francisco reaching 74. here's what is going on. we still have this weather pattern where we see at times fog at the coast. high pressure building across the southwest that will be on top of the bay area going into the weekend, so not much of a wind and it will compress the marine layer keeping it hot for the inland valleys. look at the numbers. they are not changing even as we go into the beginning of next week, 90s today and then cooler tomorrow, reaching 90 degrees and then the temperatures go right back up, taking on monday

at 96 degrees, and then coming back down to the upper 80s, and that's still above normal for the middle of next week. while san francisco stays in the 70s from now through next wednesday. mike, you are taking us back to look at san jose. yeah, the first crash just got cleared from the chp report, and that's good news, northbound 101 just shy of oakland road. behind me you will notice the traffic is jammed up here and not here, because right behind me, chp activity there, this is the disabled vehicle or the crash we saw earlier. one vehicle was left in the center divide and i think there was a second vehicle involved and we will let them sort out details. and meanwhile you have activity and the fast lane is blocked so there's a bottleneck at 680. 880 southbound, around oakland road, another crash as well. all the brake lights and folks scrambling around. things will be disrupted here from northbound 101 at capital

expressway. the good news is, with this clearing we should see some recovery here in time for all the traffic to take 280. and yesterday and today, lots of traffic he. and then the closure will be closed until 9:00 this morning because they are investigating the deadly hit-and-run just off san jose state campus. and then no problems getting towards the bay bridge, just a few more folks and metering lights are on. we are still sharing your kids back to school photos. >> richie in third and mark in tpo fourth year, and that's in the oak grove school district in san jose. follow us on facebook, instagram and twitter.

transient attacking a woman outside her condo off the embarcadero in san francisco. this story went viral after the judge released the man out into the public without a monitoring device. but now the man is in jail. "the chronicle" reports there were two more attacks along the city's northern waterfront which prompted city leaders to meet yesterday to come up with a plan to secure the area. officers will increase foot patrols, that will be indefinite, and social services will try and reach out to people on the streets and do a better effort especially for those that are mentally ill and/or addicted to drugs. now moving on to decision 2020. today the democratic national committee summer meeting gets under way in san francisco. 12 candidates vying for the presidential nomination are expected to speak tomorrow, but

there are also notable absences. one item on the agenda today, party leaders considering a plan to hold a future debate focused solely on climate change. two such presidential forums are scheduled for next month, and some activist would like to see a party-sanctioned debate. >> climate change has been slow to evolve because it's hard to see. we don't look out one day and say, oh, my gosh, here's the ocean. theless, people more and more are realizinghi has to be done and now it's a question of what? how far? to what extend? >> joe biden will not attend the meeting and it's said that his absence is intentional. >> remember, when you are the top gun, so to speak, you have a different set of eyes, and you are looking at this differently and your strategy is different than all those trying to catch up. >> biden along with other

candidates not attending will instead send in prerecorded videos. a woman was last scene outside her home on tuesday night, andeputies believed she went outside to water a plant but never returned. investigators searched the waterway behind her home which had neighbors fearing the worst. >> the neighbor on the other side saw her on the dock cleaning spider webs off the boat cover, and my heart sank because she can't swim. >> police say she was wearing a green tank top. it's 6:36 right now. faa investigators today will have their hands full with two new northern california crash investigations, one involved a single-engine plane in livermore yesterday, and the other involving a twin engine jet that

go off and the heat will be on. it will heat up for some of the inland areas. the bay will be at 84, and the coast reaching the low 70s. as you make plans, it will be slightly hotter on sunday but we are still going to have a nice wide range in temperatures from the coast to the valleys. if you are headed to martinez on saturday, it will be 79 degrees early and then reaching the upper 80s. we have the palo alto festival of the arts happening and it's going to be warm there, especially with all the sunshine. the earlier the better. at 10:00 it will be 71 degrees. yosmite this weekend will be warm for the day hikes reaching into the low 80s. up to 81 tomorrow as well as saturday, and 84 degrees on sunday. then for santa cruz, we are going to have nice weather there. mostly sunny skies, and saturday

inland. i will show you that and a look ahead to the weekend in less than five minutes. look at the top of your screen. a warning issued around san jose because of the deadly hit-and-run crash investigation. streets are closed by the library on the edge of san jose state campus. new for you this morning, a new warning going out to people in two contra costa county cities. this is after a series of arsons. one of the fires was set to a car while a woman was sleeping inside. police in el cerrito said that woman suffered severe burns. several small hours were set in the past 24 hours around el

cerrito and richmond. most were set to shrubs and garbage cans and so far there's no suspect information. nancy pelosi is taking sides in the debate of whether to ban or regulate e-cigarettes, and her position is what one crowd wanted to hear yesterday. san francisco based juul has spent $4 million on prop c. speaker pelosi said we should not back the proposition that is trying to addict our children to cigarettes. >> say no to juul. >> 150 people nationwide have reported vaping-related lung issues. this morning one woman is talking about being too close to a man just shooting shots off that sent people running in san francisco's market street. this was all caught on camera. i want you to take a look at this. as you can see, it's a scary

scene right there. this all happened tuesday, and in the chaos, one person was taken to the hospital and the injuries were not from gunfire. that woman that recorded this video said everybody was caught off guard. >> somebody screaming and i assume it was a gun because of the popping sound, and what i caught on my camera was essentially somebody brandishing a gun. >> during our investigation we located the victim who was injured and he was transported to the hospital for life-threatening injuries. >> so far police have not indicated if they have leads on the man seen firing the shots in the video. 6:47 right now. leaders from the world's top seven economies will meet this weekend in france. >> and scott mcgrew said they will not come to an agreement. >> they have already announced for the first time in history the countries that are going to the g7 will not sign any kind of

joint statement at the end. this is video from last year's g7, and that's when the united states became the very first country in history to refuse to sign on to the joint statement leaving germany, the uk, france, italy japan and canada to do it without us. this year's the summit host, french president, emmanuel macron, said they won't bother with a statement at all. this iconic photograph from last year's summit looked like everybody was tkpwrapbgiganging president trump. russia used to come making it the g8 until russia was kicked out for invading crimea. and the white house is expecting law suits over holding families longer than the law

allows. there are options for those crossing the border, you can let them go while they await their hearing, or detain the parent which is separating then the children, or detain the family together for no more than 20 days. but president trump has a fourth option, detain them indefinitely. that will get the attention of one judge here in california. she did not author the flores agreement but she's the one that said children can't be detained longer than 20 days. here she is talking about her own immigrant father. >> he did not speak english and there were no english as a second language courses in those days. he went to kindergarten at the age of 15 and learned how to speak english by learning nursery songs. >> all kinds of administrations

>> i know i have money in there. >> just use this other one. >> yeah, just tap it and keep it moving. we are coasting into the weekend and starting off with a lot more humidity, hence the big hair today, and the fog we are seeing over san francisco. this view looks amazing, but below that it's misting and drizzling and not all that amazing right now. let's get you out the door for school this morning as you get ready to head out. we are seeing temperatures in the mid-60s, and there's a lot of clouds and as the kids head out to recess they will see the sun peeking through. our high temperatures in the south bay heading up to 88 degrees in san jose. hotter in concord today, reaching 93 and 92 in clear lake as well as santa rosa, and 74 in

san francisco. we still have the same weather pattern set up, and it's going to stay with us over the next few days as high pressure just barely moves as we go into the weekend, but it's also giving us less wind. we are at times seeing coastal fog but it doesn't hang around very long. once that clears out temperatures heat up for the inland areas, and as we go into the weekend it will get hotter. take a look at the numbers. we're up to 93 today in some of the hotter spots. tomorrow, better but then going back up. we are looking at all 90s in the forecast until next wednesday. for san francisco, a lot of 70s as the fog quickly clears and we will get sunshine for the afternoon. the camera operator was moving it around and the view is flipped around 180. before you get too motion sick, it looks like i am running now. we have a smooth drive on the

left side, good stuff. no problems for the east shore freeway, and contra costa county looks great, and there's typical spots for a thursday. 680 may be recovering, but we also see, of course, your slower drive from san leandro into union city, and that's a standard spot. in the south bay, this is where most of the action has been all morning, northbound 101, that crash has one vehicle that still needs to be towed but no lanes blocked. it's your normal commute for 101 once again. 880 jammed up, and there's reports of a crash and perhaps a roadside fire, and that's just north of 101. if there is smoke that will also be a distraction and we are tracking that. on the city streets in the same area where kris sanchez is reporting, a deadly hit-and-run crash near san jose state.

in addition to messing up the traffic flow by the king library, and for folks heading there, allow lots of extra time. the six lines are affected, so prepare for reroutes. that closure we are told will go on possibly until 8:00 a.m. we will track that for you. happening now, new video from brazil showing just one of dozens of wildfires burning in the amazon forest. they have had a record number this year with more than 72,000 fires detected by the space research center. next, a quick look at the top stories we are working on, that breaking news mike was telling you about, that deadly hit-and-run crash in san jose. what we know about that investigation right now, plus -- >> unconstitutional. a step bart might take that has a stern warning from the alcu.

you are watching "today in the bay."

welcome back. before you head out the door, it's 6:57. >> we are following breaking news in the south bay where there has been a deadly hit-and-run. an investigation is happening near the san jose state campus. this is a live look at the scene. police are still there gathering evidence. this all unfolding at 4th and san fernando.
