march. i want to show you what's on our local agendas for today. in san jose the city council is talking about temporarily freezing rent increases through ultima the end of the year. exultat exultations and how to jog in alameda county an eviction together, safer to jog side-by-side than front and back. i would be the guy in the back. the animations were put together by a fellow who works for a moratorium to commercial tenants company called ansys. impacted by covid-19. and in richmond an interesting marc, it's an effective talker here, the council will talk about suspending rent and animation because people have trouble visualizing the mortgages for the duration of invisible. here is a way for people to see the shelter in place state of what's happening and really pay attention. emergency. certainly that would be huge if that happened. in east palo alto the council will take up the issue of tenant protections against evictions. >> we exhale particles in the governor newsom's executive order enacted march 16th remains air in front of us and that in place everywhere across the probably doesn't come as a big surprise to people but what may surprise the listeners in your sate but also gives local area those particles stay governments the ability to take suspended in the air for quite protections even farther. some time. this has not been, though, what we see in the simulation is without pushback from landlords who say they can't afford not to that someone who is right behind bring in that rental income. you may inadvertent ly jog into the tenant protections will be even more critical as we move

forward through a week where we the particles you left behind. expect we will see layoffs double here in the bay area >> the internet is busy arguing based on the filings with the employment office. the employment office has to get because we have nothing better to do. notice from companies if they some of your animations caught plan to lay off or furlough some controversy. their workers and we do expect a spike. >> one thing i would like to know these animations, in san jose, kris sanchez, simulations were based on work "today in the bay." >> kris, thank you. today marks five weeks since the entire bay area was put out of the technical university under a shelter at home. since then oakland has made many and burton has a long history of changes to deal with both the doing simulation in the world of economic uncertainty and the sports, aerodynamics and has a unprecedented changes to people's lives. long history of working with with us now to talk about that elite athletes help them enhance is oakland mayor libby schaaf. their performance by better mayor schaaf, thank you for joining us this morning. understanding things like >> thanks for having me. drafting. >> look, i know we just heard we certainly stand with these from our reporter kris sanchez, talking about several cities and simulations and the high quality of research done over the years. counties considering changing to provide rent relief to its we see the simulations as residents. something that provide a general i know last month oakland, you guidance to the population in passed that two-month rent freeze on evictions for the

terms of -- >> mark, i want to get to renters as well as small that -- i'm going to interrupt businesses. so what else is being done to you because i want to get to really help in this dire needing time for a lot of people out that mask simulation, the mask there? >> well, we do have to balance is improperly fit. many interests and try and take briefly within about ten seconds care of our most vulnerable. here. what we're seeing in this mask simulation. and oakland enacted what many say is the state's strongest >> those simulations provide eviction moratorium. both for residents and small important information about a respirator and other mask for businesses. that doesn't mean the rent isn't owed. you just cannot be evicted for clinicians and the general not paying it. so we encourage people who can public. particles that we exhale or even pay to pay. and we're going to be focusing particles that come to our face, our efforts on mediating long-term agreements between landlords and tenants to try and very important. ease everyone out of the economic crisis. >> will there be any assistance to help those in need of >> thank you so much for joining us. financial support? salesforce is going online with the application for small >> absolutely. businesses, handing out a lot of we have in place keep oakland money. i'll do more information on housed that provides emergency twitter about that as well. i wanted to squeeze that in. financial payments, liam

back to you. assistance as well as case >> it could help a lot of small management to keep people from businesses. being displaced or from becoming homeless. 6:18. >> now how do they apply for that? >> you can call 211 or go to the health careme doctors and nurse website keepoaklandhoused.org. this is just a start. we are, all of us, going to be having to lock for policy changes as we go forward. i'm sure in oakland we'll be extending that moratorium for quite a bit longer. >> like i said this is hard for so many people including states as well as counties and cities. a preliminary report just released yesterday saying oakland may fall short by $80 million. this is over the next two years unless the city council can act quickly. i know the city's director of finance has been saying this is nothing like the city has ever experienced before so what is the plan in place or do you even have one to bridge that gap to prevent that from >> we've already taken three emergency measures immediately, a hiring freeze, suspension of payment on some long-term

liabilities as well as not paying into the rainy day fund because we're going to probably be pulling down from that soon. but we are in good company, and that's why, you know, i joined with mayors across the country to really ask congress to include cities like ours and we just missed the cutoff from the first stimulus package which was only direct payments for cities of 500,000 and oakland falls just underneath that threshold. but critical services are going to be suspended when our residents need them the most unless the federal government includes cities in their next bailout. >> and quickly before we go i want to talk about small businesses because i know over in east oakland they were expected to be hit hard after the warriors left. how are they dealing right now, and are there plans in place to help the small businesses stay afloat? >> you know, we're going to be talking this week more about which small businesses were helped by our covid-19 relief

fund which you, too, can donate to. oaklandfund.org. we have really focused on our most vulnerable businesses. we have so metropolitan more need we were able to fill. these business owners, and most of them serve our struggling communities to begin with. the owners themselves were extremely low income. 72% of them made less than 35% of the median income for this and it is a two-fer when you help these small businesses. you're helping continue those services. you're helping some pretty hard working families that run them. >> hopefully people who can't help will help. we thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. be well. take care of each other. we are trying to do just that. i want to check in with kari. it should be a nice day ahead.

i'm excited for it. yeah, we are going to have some beautiful weather, people are excitemented about a warm-up in the forecast. we will see that warming trend getting under way today as we have more sunshine coming in. some low 40s for the north bay. then after that, more on the warm-up. mike, you have a look at the morning commute.unexpectedly sl in the coliseum, still down to one lane. i hope they're going to clear right now. heading into sunol, that crew is late picking up. you can make up the rest of your time everywhere else because it's light traffic, because folks are working from home. with that said web chat is becoming this huge part of our

culture we know now. it helps us see more of each other but then, again, does it help us see too much? what i mean by that is a post over here from ed. mr. meehan over on facebook, yes, this is a teacher who posted this. he's also asking is this too much for his zoom background. i don't think any students saw that but they might. his friend john up in portland -- actually our friend john, says it's fine. because look at john's background as well. you can send m your zoom photos and i'll see how many i can spot. the new normal here on facebook. i'm on instagram and on twitter. >> thanks, mike. 6:42 for you that morning. furious fans are taking action against the mlb this morning. still ahead this morning on "today in the bay" the all new lawsuit to push for refunds.

who should be in charge of testing? should it be the feds or state by state? we'll take a look at that. take you out to the big board in new york city. mark has menti marcus mentioned the oil prices falling.

right now at 6:45 in dublin we're seeing a lot less people on the roads. 580 through the tri-valley and we're going to see temperatures

here starting out in the low 50s. warming up quickly as we head into the low 70s. earth day and our carbon emissions reduction coming up in a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. many of the 2.7 million californians out of a job are having a hard time filing for unemployment. they're battling the state's employment development department or edd site. new for you this morning, get this, she's called 375 times in four hours. here is what she got. >> i got through to the automated system only 13 times to go through the prompt and tried to get a representative, and each time i was disconnected with them either saying the system was unavailable on the automated system or that there were too many calls for them to handle on the automated system

so i never spoke to anybody. >> they have trained hundreds of employees to help process claims. 6:47 for you this morning, and america's governors and big businesses say we cannot open back up until we have universal testing. >> but there's actually a disagreement about who should be doing that testing. scott mcgrew. >> exactly right, good morning. should it be the states? should it be the federal government? that's the debate. on monday's press conference at the white house with the president and his testing czar, the white house said there are many tests available but it will be up to the states to obtain and conduct those covid-19 tests. on capitol hill democrats are holding up the new stimulus funds. they want more money for nationwide testing along with national testing standards. so you have the central debate over what's best for america. should we have nationwide

testing that is run by the federal government or should it be state by state? critics of the state by state plan point out we may be independent states but we depend on each other. just think of what we saw a few weeks ago out of florida. every state handling everything so differently. florida was very late to shut down. so when the rest of us started to shelter at home people were out. they went back home to places like new york city. the president says he wants the states to handle the testing and that's what maryland did. the republican larry hogan there used to contact through his wife. maryland able to get tests from south korea. we have pictures of those tests arriving on an airplane from south korea. the first lady of maryland was key to making this happen, calling it operation enduring friendship. but the president then said

maryland, the state, should have turned to the federal government. >> the governor of maryland could have called mike pence, could have saved a lot of money. look at these different places, and that's maryland right there. could have saved a lot of money but that's okay. i don't think he needed to go to south korea. i think he needed to get a little knowledge. >> a mixed message out of washington. the president talking about a ban on immigration when it comes to jobs. there are so many questions. does this include those who have applied for a green card? visas? and what about renewals. we have no information. we're hoping to get more at today's press conference. we'll be tweeting about it. 6:49 right now. with major league baseball

season still up in the air they're now facing a lawsuit from angry fans. it was filed yesterday in los angeles against the league and its ticket retail partners. it claims fans have tried and failed to get refunds for postponed games. attorneys are seeking class action status. the league so far is not commenting. something good without having a little fun. this man in the uk delivered groceries to his grandmother, they decided to bust a move on tik tok. look at her. the pair is still practicing social distancing with grandma in the background while dancing. >> she can't see him but is doing the moves. ha

>> obviously so does he. >> a look at the forecast today. checking that out. >> something to help each other out during this pandemic. >> staying at home has been helping not only each other but the planet as well as we lead into earth day we've been watching how this impacts our carbon emissions and everything else. we talk about carbon dioxide. that's something that occurs naturally on earth but we're adding to it when we're driving and flying airplanes. it acts as a warming as gas lets in sun light it warms up but doesn't let it escape back out in the atmosphere. as we've been driving less we're emitting less carbon. the bay area air quality
