and the controversy is only getting bigger this morning. so it's about a phone call between the president and a foreign leader. "washington post" now reports the complaint centers on the ukraine. it comes as house democrats are already investigating the role of trump's personal lawyer rudy giuliani, looking into whether he made efforts to influence the government of ukraine to help the trump re-election campaign. giuliani was asked about this last night on cnn. >> you never asked anything about hunter biden, you never asked anything about joe biden. >> the only thing i asked about joe biden to get to the bottom of how it was that rutsenko appointed dismissed the case against -- >> so you did ask ukraine to look into joe biden. >> of course i did. >> "today in the bay's" craig boswell is live in washington where all of this is setting off a firestorm. craig? >> a firestorm indeed, laur good morning. good morning, everyone. this bombshell report setting up a fiery standoff between the administration and congress.

facts first. >> reporter: president trump rejects the entire report as presidential harassment. and the acting director of national intelligence is scheduled to testify before the house intelligence committee next week so this is far from over. laura, back to you been >> and of course we'll keep covering it. thanks so much, craig. a new state law aimed at forcing president trump to release his tax returns is hitting a road block. a federal judge in sacramento is temporarily putting it on hold. in july, governor newsom signed a bill that would force the president to release his tax returns ahead of california's march 3rd primary. the president's lawyers argued that the law was unconstitutional because the federal government has jurisdiction over requirements for candidates running for president. the law is on hold as the judge reviews the case. a final decision is expected at the end of this month. and new for you this morning, a deadly shooting is under investigation in oakland. shots were fired around 9:00

without any information, people sort of grew more and more stressed. >> the plane landed safely in tampa. del pa says pilots performed the descent over an abundance of caution when a depressure zaliz alert was activated. got to be frightening. >> very skaercary. here in the bay area today nothing scary about our weather. >> pressurization. >> we have high pressure moving in, going to warm us up going into today as well as tomorrow. here is a live look outside, all clear skies and no fog rolling across the bay. even though we don't see the fog, it won't be a warm one for san francisco but we'll start to feel it inland. as you get ready to head out the door in oakland, headed to the fruitvale b.a.r.t. station expect some upper 50s at 7:00. we'll be at 67 degrees at 10:00 and our day shapes up pretty nice here with some mid-70s. as we look at our south bay high temperatures a little bit warmer

than it was yesterday as we reach 85 downtown and 88 today in gilroy. for the east bay we are starting to see low 90s popping up on the map and this will become a more common sight as we go into tomorrow as well as next week. the seven-day forecast is up at the bottom of the screen. today's high in walnut creek up to 89 degrees and 83 in hayward. we'll see a high of 80 in san mateo road to. in the marina district expect a high of 69 degrees while the north bay reaches into the mid to upper 80s. we will see some changes ahead. through the weekend we'll see high pressure heating up our temperatures and we'll get a little bit of a break on sunday as that storm system passes to our north but then we start to see our winds shift once again for tuesday and wednesday, creating more hot weather and also breezy winds which will increase our fire danger. this is the last weekend of summer and it's going to feel like we're in the middle of summer, with some low to mid-90s and then by early next week we are going to get even hotter with our temperatures peaking on

tuesday. headed over to mike, you have more info on that crash in livermore. >> that's right, kari. it's causing some more slowing and may last longer. the initial crash talked about a couple of smaller vehicles. the rest of the commute is great. 580 had a series of problems out of the altamont and north livermore two big rigs are blocking your two right lanes that will cause more slowing. i think some folks are cutting through there, why the sudden build on vallecitos and the dublin interchange. getting over to the area another crash west 580 at betweenfield may take a while to build. almost 25 minutes from marsh creek to 580 for vasco. slowing out of brentwood and discovery bay and the bay bridge toll plaza shows you the backup for the fastrak lanes just kicking off. back to you. >> thanks, mike. coming up, as students walk out of schools around the world to fight climate change, we take a look at the way the climate crisis is changing our weather patterns and what that means for us this winter. first our team is always on

around the world. dealing with climate change, we're going to have more on that coming up in just a second. >> we're talking about it, you know, everyone really is less snow, changing water supply, warmer temperatures that we're feeling, all of this having a big impact on our atmospheric rivers in the bay area. >> "today in the bay's" meteorologist kari hall has more on why a lack of frozen precipitation in the winter might translate to a bigger impact in the summer. >> our winter rainfall is the focus of today's climate in crisis series. you may hear us talk about rain coming from an atmospheric river or pineapple express. it's a long, narrow region of clouds and rain rolling from hawaii across the pacific into california. and the position of the jet stream can guide where that atmospheric river flows. now researchers are seeing a change in the transporter of our water supply. the air temperatures are getting

warmer by four degrees. it may not sound like a lot, but the temperatu difference now and in the coming years has huge ramifications on the weather in northern california. that means that instead of snow falling in the sierra, the precipitation could come down mostly as rain, and that sierra snowpack provides most of our water storage for those long, dry summer months. >> i think more importantly on a deeper level it affects our water supply. it affects our ecosystem and suggests in another way the kind of water issues that we'll face in the future may be different than in the past, even if the overall amount of precipitation doesn't change very much, because if more of it is falling as liquid rain rather than solid snow that changes the characteristics of the water supply we have moving forward. >> scientists say if we continue with business as usual and not make an effort to retuesdduce o

environmental impact, sierra snow will become a thing of the past. >> that would be hard to see. 5:25. friday night football is back and today "ellen" is getting in on the action, welcoming three inspiring high school players to her show. >> two of the tennessee football players stepped in to help their teammate when they noticed he was wearing the same clothes to school each day. they gave them new clothing, shared his reaction on social media to encourage others to end bullying. today ellen is giving back to all three with a special surprise, that includes a visit from the man you see right there, actor will smith. be sure to catch the entire interview this afternoon on "ellen" at 4:00, and don't forget before that catch "the kelly clarkson show" at 3:00. set your dvrs if you're not expecting to be home. coming up next -- >> chaos at san jose state as

good friday morning. it is 5:43. los gatos will see upper 50s

this morning and we go from 57 to 73 at 11:00 and 80 degrees at 1:00 today. we will have a pretty big warmup compared to our past weather this week. we'll talk more about that and what's ahead for the weekend, in less than five minutes. and true it's friday but it's also the bay bridge, so you do have all lanes filled. notice the fastrak lanes are moving less slow than the cash lanes. that's your break on a friday. we'll show you how much of a break you are getting on the approach. >> thanks kari and mike. it's 5:44. fremont is becoming the latest bay area city to ban flavored tobacco products and ecigarettes as we learn another person died from a vaping related illness, the eighth death of its kind across the country. as cases of vaping sicknesses rise, the cdc is getting a clearer picture of the victims. more than half are under the age of 25 and three-quarters of the cases are men. the cdc says there are 530 cases of vaping related illnesses in 38 states.

area 51 may be facing an invasion. so far half a million people have signed up for today's facebook event to storm the restricted military base in nevada. for decades alien hunters and conspiracy theorists have considered the area 51 to be a place where the government has stored and possibly tested alien spacecraft and now several brands are trying to cash in on the event, but light released limited edition alien cans of beer. arby's september a food truck to the storm area 51 base camp, also creating a galaxy milkshake. >> interesting. 5:45 for you this morning. and ben carson is raising eyebrows and emotions among staffers with what many call disrespectful comments he made in san francisco about transgender people. "the washington post" reports during an internal meeting this week at hud's san francisco offices, carson's disparaged

transgender women and seemed to imply society no longer knows the difference between genders. "the post" reports one woman walked out in protest. hud responded to "the post's" report calling the claims false. 5:46. dr. carson not the only staffer causing the trump administration some problems this morning. >> scott mcgrew, the president has a lot of jobs to fill. >> he does. he has an acting chief of staff, marcus, acting faa administrator, acting labor secretary. he'd like to use darrell issa to fill a spot on the u.s. trade development agency but the senate says issa is having trouble passing his fbi background check. his confirmation hearings have been delayed. now issa has warned if they don't approve him, he may pull his application and run for congress again, trying to scoop up fellow republican duncan hunter's spot. hunter has been indicted on charges of fraud and misuse of campaign funds. and a fellow of the white house

asked to run fema pulled his own nomination over questions about his background. not clear what those issues are. bev bayard was supposed to replace brock wong who quit among accusations of misusing government transportation. president trump tweeted out a denial he was involved in some kind of inappropriate or even illegal promise made to a foreign leader. we walked you through those accusations yesterday on "today in the bay." our man in washington, craig boswell, will talk to you about it at 6:05. the president's attorney rudy giuliani has gotten involved and as often the case, giuliani appears to have made the situation worse. we'll show you that in about 15 minutes. the context of this is important. presidents make promises all the time. the issue with this one is that it was apparently so shocking, it set off a federal whistle-blower investigation. logically, it was a promise that the whistle-blower thought was illegal or a promise that involved changing u.s. policy in exchange for personal gain.

on a happier note the president and first lady hold their second state dinner tonight for the australian prime minister and his wife. here you see the preparations. the first day dinner was for french president emmanuel macron but the two have since had a falling out. we're tracking everything that's happening on twitter. you can follow me there, i i'm @scottmcgrew. >> thanks, scott. a lot of people like friendly trash talking among people. how about among bay area mayors? >> they're going at it. it's all about tomorrow's battle for the bay. >> we'll have volunteers come out of the woodwork and we look forward to taking on your two mighty cities. >> at least he's saying it smiling, right? so a little explainer for you here. tomorrow is california coast cleanup day, a nearly 30-year tradition. this year san jose mayor sam liccardo was raising the stakes, challenging the mayors of san francisco and oakland and the people of their cities on who

will have the largest volunteer turnout. liccardo says it will be san jose and other mayors will have to wear their shark teal and black but san francisco mayor london breed and oakland mayor libby schaaf are saying hang on a minute, not so fast. >> get ready to wear a san francisco giants jersey, because san francisco's going to win this one. >> we are all going to be battling for the bay and oakland is going to win. come on, people, i need you to sign up! >> the bay battle lines are drawn. are you in? sign up online at battleforthebay2019.org, pick team san francisco, team oakland or team san jose. >> yes, we need more people from san jose to sign up. >> is that real? one person in san jose? come on now. >> people in san jose, just sign up. >> we'll look at the update. >> san jose, san francisco and oakland issued the first challenge to each other a few days ago mayor liccardo just got online yesterday. let's hope it's more than one. come on. >> get online.

>> i saw that, i was like woo. >> all right, so let's get ready for that weekend that will be warm, so we're making preparations for a very summer-like weekend. this is our last weekend of summer. here is a live look in oakland as you get ready to head out the door and the seven-day forecast for the south bay, alr up at the bottom of the screen. let's head over to the east bay and martinez with our start at 58 degrees at 7:00. we'll have a lot of sunshine today and we'll be at 80 degrees at noon. 83 degrees at 1:00 today and as we look at our microclimates and go hour by hour, we take it through 9:30. we'll be at 62 in livermore. 64 in san jose. expect some low 80s already at noon for concord as well as fairfield, novato at 80 degrees and we'll see some mid 80s in santa rosa at 2:30, and oakland will be at 77 and cupertino 82 degrees. we will see some mid to upper 80s and even a few low 90s and coming back down tonight into the low 60s.

here is a look at our weather setup. through the weekend, we'll have some warmer temperatures as our northerly winds pick up but there is also a storm system dropping into the pacific northwest that will provide brief relief from the high heat before it gets hot next week. the high pressure continues to build and also gives us more of an offshore wind flow, so it will be breezy and also a high fire danger, so i'll be watching out for that. temperature wise we'll see some low 90s throughout much of the forecast throughout the weekend. next week we're going into the upper 90s, and san francisco reaching into the mid to upper 70s. mike you're seeing slowing on the peninsula. >> i am. 101 i think we may have had the last traffic break or the last of the final traffic break and the final slowing here to the area north from palo alto into menlo park. just saw these start to break up north past willow. that's indicating probably a little bit earlier start to the clearing in that area, as friday happens, crews try to leave a

little bit earlier. we all try to leave a little earlier on friday. south bay, peninsula, east bay looking at all green. the only section we have a problem with continues to be livermore, west 580 approaching airway. we have a big rig at least one over on the shoulder, it sounds like 630 is going to be when they can get the big rig tow over there. it will take a while, a distraction and may be blocking the slow lane. the dublin interchange cleared. no problems. mild slowing vasco road, highway 4 as well the two focus spots through contra costa county. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now a family in san antonio, texas, is still recovering this morning after scaffolding on a downtown building collapsed overnight, leaving that family with minor injuries. this happened as severe storms swept through that area. the family of three was at a bus stop on a bench when the scaffolding collapsed. they have minor scrapes and bruises but that could have been a lot worse considering. 5:52 right now. next and new this hour, how healthy is too healthy? the food choice some teenagers

welcome back, everyone. it's 5:55. parents this morning are warned about a disturbing health trend among kids and teenagers that's all spurred on by social media. >> the concern is clean eating, taken to the extreme. when someone restricts their diet their healthy choices become bad for the body. >> people will narrow the foods they'll eat down to this small group of things based on these ideas of what in their minds is clean or unclean, or what is healthy or unhealthy. your body wants a balance. it doesn't just want kale and broccoli and it doesn't just need kale and broccoli. it needs a balance. >> so here are warning signs from that doctor, if your child begins to withdraw from activities to avoid food or always wants to be alone, your child's obsession may have manifest into a mental health
