re-election arguably presents a threat to the u.s. and global economy to the fed's independence and its ability to achieve employment and inflation on jikti iobjectives." he says it is for the good of all of us, this is exactly the political fight the fed is trying to avoid. the current fed governors were quick to distance themselves from this wild idea. peloton bike filed the paperwork for an ipo. the exercise bikemakerr clothing rack maker depending how you use it, the company is worth billions. a thought this was interesting our consumer reporter chris chmura was tweeting about the safety video from japan airlines, different from safety safety briefings, warnings about this guy, don't take your luggage with you when you go out onto the slide. you're going to get caught up and this happens. this is a graphic look at what could happen if you do.

lot confusing about my mind because we was in jail is not anything like happy inside there, but we still here. >> the family said the daughter had invited the teen into the home, that he'd been hiding in the closet for two days. they also contend he physically injured them. child protective services now has custody of that daughter. >> it's 5:44. san jose is helping homeowners build granny flats in their backyard. the city sees the tiny houses as key in addressing its housing crisis. this week, mayor sam liccardo announced a series of measures to simplify the home building process including a one-stop shop style website. applicants can get their permits for the homes in as little as 90 minutes. >> 5:44 for you right now. the race for 2020 continues to take shape. >> this morning we'll find out what democratic candidates will move forward in the debates, scott mcgrew. >> that's right. there's nothing stopping candidates who don't make t laura, in to the september

debates from running but it will hard to generate funds and attention if they get left out. 20 candidates in the last debates. candidates now need four polls showing them at least 2% or higher. tom steyer, kirsten gillibrand, tulsi gabbert and marianne williamson will not qualify. >> it is not letting me vote what i want to vote for. >> video of a voter in mississippi having trouble voting for the candidate of his choice in the republican primary for governor. we haven't verified the authenticity but the state does say this machine was taken out of service. there's always been concern about electronic voting machines that have no paper backup. that machine changed the vote in front of the voter, but the fear is there are those that could change the vote and nobody would know. e house has passed several bills acrossing some inin inin of these concerns. the trump administration

proposed this long before we knew the tropical storm dorian was headed toward puerto rico. could you make the argument there is a humanitarian crisis at the border, but just potential new damage in puerto rico. president trump has declared an emergency for puerto rico, authorizing fema to start emergency relief. a few minutes ago he criticized either the storm's path or puerto rico's position in the ocean. we're tracking closely tropical storm dorian as it heads, as usual, to puerto rico. fema and all others are ready and will do a great job, and then they could, let them know it. give them a big thank you, not like last time. that includes the incompetent mayor of san juan. we'll be watching the situation, tweeting about it. marcus, i know you have your eye on it as well. >> that's right, scott. new images showing the heavy flooding from dorian in martinique is looking more and more like dorian may cross directly over puerto rico and may reach hurricane strength when it passes. dorian is expected to arrive by midday. people who live there are nerve

u us and trying to brace for themselves. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> translator: tomorrow the winds will pick up and so will the rain. we have to prepare now. >> that was one woman speaking with a reporter yesterday. of course puerto rico is still recovering from hurricane maria which ravaged the island in 2017. dorian is on track to hit somewhere along florida's central coast and may become a category 2 hurricane when it strikes. kari, certainly that's something a lot of people need to be mindful of. the hurricane could get stronger and could also weaken as well. >> it could weaken but with the warm water in that region, it is going to cause it to strengthen. as we look at the storm now, we are expecting it to continue on a northwesterly track once it moves past puerto rico. this may be a problem for the east coast of florida. this will possibly cause a lot of problems going into the labor

day weekend, and shing we'll have to watch for our friends and family and not only in puerto rico but also in florida. as you get ready to head out the door in dublin this morning, skies are all clear and our temperatures are in the lower 60s. that morning commute will be a little bit warmer in antioch, at 68 degrees, and then at 8:00, we're at 72 degrees. more people getting up and heading out the door and it's going to be warming up into the mid 80s by noon. eventually reaching 93 in antioch today, but these temperatures are actually cooler than what we've seen to start out this work week, but it's still going to feel muggy out there today with san jose reaching 87 degrees. 84 in napa, 95 in ukiah. s with' look at what's happening here, high pressure set up across the region and some tropical clouds streaming into the bay area, the remnants of what was tropical storm ivo continues to move in. going into the weekend, we'll have some cooling, as this area of low pressure moves into the

pacific northwest. that for us changes the wind flow and it's going to make it feel a little bit better, as that humidity drops, going into the end of the week, into the weekend. our inland temperatures today in the upper 80s. 86 for the high tomorrow, and then 88 degrees on friday. look at saturday, that looks pretty good, reaching 85 degrees, and one of the cooler days in the seven-day forecast. san francisco staying in the upper 60s to lower 70s, and i think the fog will linger along the coast today, as well as the next several days, with our temperatures in the mid-70s for saturday, sunday and into the start of next week. headed over to mike you've been keeping an eye on the bay bridge. >> that's right. we'll start with these, the metering lights of course turned on. typical time, the fastrak lanes still movement. we just want to see movement at the bay bridge toll plaza and we do. hov lanes, these folks good, good decision to get three or more in the vehicle. now that's the approach and the maze and nothing surprising there. a little build for the upper

east shore freeway. it's over here, way over there, west highway 4 at hillcrest we have a crash involving a motorcycle and motorcycle reportedly ran into the back of a truck so this could be a major injury situation. still waiting to find out more details on that. i know we have two lanes open and one or two lanes closed depending on how close it is to the on-ramp there at hillcrest avenue. you may have one and a half lanes depending on how the lanes are splitting there. this is jamming folks up out of antioch, off of the bridge coming from rio vista. this may send more folks down in through brentwood if they choose to go the other route, down toward vasco that could increase some slowing. right now things are looking standard toward 580 and also the dublin interchange. no major problems there. the green sensors around the bay and here is san jose with the first burst that kicked in about ten minutes ago north of 680 right there for 101. no surprises and nice easy ride for the transit agencies, good stuff, marcus. back to you. >> thanks, mike.

>> the giants dream turnaround is suddenly turning into a nightmare, but first, the giants were not the only ones with their hands full last night at oracle, as the game before that game, the giants took another step back in the playoff race. a base hit in the seventh inning gave arizona a 3-1 lead. the diamondbacks won 3-2. even though the giants debuted a new reliever, with so-called submarine delivery. look at it right here, his name, tyler rogers and he has a lot of buzz. he also has a twin brother taylor, who is now the closer in minnesota. have you heard of this one before, baseball is a funny game. two nights ago in kansas city, all that was a distant memory against the royals. instead the a's scored just two runs but they made them count. the base hit in the second by marcus siemian ended up being enough because the a's came up big in the field, check out this
