5:21 am
spotty rain over the north bay. as we go hour by hour we see hit-or-miss showers continue today, tonight and into the day tomorrow. we're still going to see a chance of some of those light showers moving through, and then more measurable rain possible for the north bay and the santa cruz mountains. then after that we're expected to dry out and our forecast shows that we're going to see up to about a tenth of an inch of rain for most of us. especially if you're not in the north bay. we're looking at temperatures that will be warming up on friday. we reach the peak up to 80 degrees and cool down by the end of the weekend. mike, you've been watching the roads. what's going on out there? >> we have now for the fourth morning in a row seen more slowing and we'll take you out to the maps.

5:32 am
the gang all here. mike will have a look at the commute coming up. first we want to start with a look at the forecast meteorologist kari hall has been tracking. i know rain in spots, what about today? >> today more of the same, the storm system is still pretty close by and we're seeing some light rain, mist and drizzle to start out on this tuesday morning. we'll see a chance as we go throughout the day, more clouds that will help keep our temperatures down but we are going to be watching out for a chance of more measurable rain especially for the north bay, as we go into this afternoon. elsewhere we're going to see some peeks of sunshine so more on this in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. laura? all right, we'll look forward to it. new numbers offer some hope for the bay area. santa clara county, the hot
5:33 am
zone, just two new cases and no deaths. all the counties seen here in white reported no new deaths including santa cruz county. >> a new infection number comes as the governor prepares to announce a tough decision whether to loosen restrictions that may help reopen some bay area restaurants and stores. small business owners are anxiously waiting to see what the governor has to say. sharon katsuda is in downtown walnut creek with a look at those details on the dilemma. sharon? >> reporter: they have remained open but it's still unclear whether they will reopen for in-house dining. despite the recent restrictions counties ordered stores and nonessential businesses to remain closed because they wanted people to stay at home
5:34 am
and not do community spread of covid-19. the reopening of the bay area hinges on marin and santa clara counties, in order to enter phase two, a decrease in hospitalizations. they must test t200 people out f 100,000. here are the problem spots, none of the counties have met their testing goal, tracer staffing. many restaurants we talked to say it was too difficult to pay employees with restricted seating and social distancing. >> i don't think there's anything with reopening.
5:35 am
>> reporter: many restaurant owners are hoping the governor and local government will listen to their stories and help succe successfully reopen businesses. addressing businesses and counties concerns about loosening restrictions and how it will apply to reopening these businesses. i'm sharon katsuda, "today in the bay." happening today san jose leaders debate financial relief for airport concessions hit hard by the decline in travelers. this is not clear how deep the hit has been for businesses that operate at sjc but airport travel is just a tiny fraction of what it was before the pandemic hit. relief measures may include suspending rents and fees. b.a.r.t. and muni's top executives will join about leaders from 13 different
5:36 am
counties. they're telling u.s. lawmakers they are actually falling short on emergency funding. last week they sent a joint letter to key congressional members. it says funding from the c.a.r.e.s. act will not be enough to keep most public transit afloat. bay area transit to lose more than $1 billion by next year. today the group will hold a virtual news conference on a new round of stimulus money. so many parts of this crisis we're dealing with really go hand-in-hand from unemployment to housing uncertainty and local leaders are continuing to try to enhance a statewide moratorium. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez this morning is live with a look at some measures. good morning, kris. >> reporter: hi there, laura. the governor's eviction ban may provide protection right now but tenants and local leaders are looking at what's coming down the road to see if they can offer some protections and
5:37 am
enhance that, keep people in their homes that way as well. the city council will discuss some tenant protections that could include a rent increase freeze which would apply being in mobile home parks, suspending late charges for tenants in rent control apartments. while the association which represents about 50% landlords across the state is asking for help for themselves, property owners, the organization is supporting a plan to forgive 20% of rent if 80% of rent is paid and keeping the rent stable until next year. that is moving through the state assembly. stay tuned. but our investigative unit found eviction notices are still being served in the bay area, though there seems to be a bright spot in san francisco. nearly 97% of tenants paid their may rent according to a survey of about 350 property owners.
5:38 am
according to the national multifamily housing council, 80% of tenants paid may rent which was more in april and might reflect some of the stimulus payments that people have gotten. if you are a renter and are in trouble, pay as much as you possibly can because even with rental protections in most cases will keep you from being evict ed however, the back rent will still be due. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> good advice, kris, thank you. janet napolitano wants to stop using the a.c.t. and s.a.t. for college admissions. she wants to suspend standardized tests and to make a new one. napolitano hopes to stop testing until 2024 and roll out a new test in 2025. the board will vote on halting
5:39 am
standardized tests next week. one bay area county is looking at changing some of the restrictions to allow some of those drive-in ceremonies. the san mateo county health officer just changed the health order to allow for strictly regulated vehicle gatherings for graduations with a maximum of 200 cars. the county event center says it will offer graduation packages in its parking lot. there would be an audio feed and one student at a time allowed to get out and get their diploma. grads say it sounds a lot better than the planned virtual ceremony. >> i like the new idea. even though i can't be super close to them, it's like a real graduation, not a virtual one. >> i think it would be great to have something we could physically go to and would be great to see their friends.
5:40 am
>> we've been certainly saluting all those grads. it would be nice to get an additional honor. yesterday, kari, for me my workout plans were put on hold because it was windy and it looked like it was going to rain. you talked about rain so i wasn't sure if i should go so decided to stay in bed. >> don't use the weather as an excuse for the reason you didn't go work out. >> we're still going to see mist and drizzle at times across the bay area. as we're looking at that we've been checking out the weather across the country and let me go back to that. i kind of skipped over it.
5:41 am
we've seen really cool weather, we've been calling our friends and family elsewhere. let's bring it to the bay area. yes, cooler today. we're talking 60s and it will be sosts will g rain. i'll have more on when we could see a better chance of rain coming up in a few minutes and, mike, you've been tracking the commute. how is it looking out there? wet roadways are a concerned. the fourth work day in a row we do see slowing as you get to the altamont pass and that will cause more slowing because of the volume in that slower drive tracking that again. lots of talk about logistics as businesses eventually open up especially for restaurants. i know sharon was reporting.
5:42 am
a place of innovation and experimentation. i want to show you the restaurant complex. if you're looking at the foreground you see these little greenhouses. they're experimenting and testing this out for small groups to socially distance from one another. you'll notice the food on a piece of lumber in the next picture is sticking out through the door. looks like delivery options to the tables. the serving staff trying out their face shields and planks in an effort to maintain social distancing, all just an experiment. more service, less contact in amsterdam at the art and design center. will this be the new normal for dining? we'll have to wait and see. >> thanks, mike. >> interesting. 5:42 for you this morning. losses and layoffs. next on "today in the bay" we're going to talk about the big
5:43 am
financial impact the pandemic is having on the golden state warriors. the president and his lawyers will be at the supreme court or at least talking to the supreme court today over the president's finances. i'll walking through the case coming up. this is beyond. i've never had anything like this in my life. >> an act of kindness, a stranger stops to help a 93-year-old man who was trying to hitch a ride in southern california but now we're going to tell you about the new tradition they're taking on together. you're watching "today in the bay." it's a really cute story. these days, everyone expects you to like everything and be positive.
5:44 am
but with my depression, it's hard to keep up this brave face and hide my symptoms. even though i'm taking my antidepressant, i still feel depressed. many people taking antidepressants still experience symptoms. when added to an antidepressant, rexulti is proven to reduce depression symptoms 62% more than the antidepressant alone. so you can stay on your current treatment and help build on your progress. rexulti can cause serious side effects. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. antidepressants may increase suicidal thoughts or worsen depression in those under 25. call your doctor if you have fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, which may signal a life-threatening condition, or uncontrollable muscle movements, which may be permanent. increased cholesterol; weight gain; high blood sugar; decreased white blood cells; compulsive behaviors; dizziness; dizziness; seizures; trouble swallowing may occur. now when i say "good times," i mean it. talk to your doctor about adding rexulti. pay as little as $15 for your refills.
5:46 am
you can save by using a fan to cool off... unplugging and turning off devices when not in use... or closing your shades during the day. stay well and keep it golden. and right now at 5:46 we are starting out with a little bit of some mist and drizzle, light rain coming down in the south bay. we'll talk more about how much rain we may measure coming up in the forecast in just a few minutes. new for you this morning one man is facing charges after police say he punched a safeway employee and two others in fremont. this all happened yesterday afternoon. police say washington attacked a worker and then took off on a bicycle.
5:47 am
that's when they say two other people were also hit in the face for no apparent reason. police also say that officers arrested him four other times over the past few days for theft and robbery. leaders who say 17 inmates tested positive for coronavirus at the california facility have actually died. they're going t tm in san francisco today. in the meantime l.a. county sheriff says inmates there at one jail are actually purposely trying to infect themselves. he shared surveillance video showing inmates sharing water and using the same mask. 30 inmates later tested positive. two were released. he says they believed becoming infected would be their ticket out of there. >> wow. 5:47 for you this morning. california's emergency services department says taxpayers have not lost money in the mask deals
5:48 am
that fell through with foreign companies. last week we told you that the state was getting nearly $250 million back after a chinese manufacturer failed to deliver ppe by the end of april. california has spent more than $2 billion on contracts for personal protective equipment, emergency services leaders say the taxpayers did not lose that money because the state was refunded after the deals went bad. president trump's 2020 campaign is pushing supporters to vote by mail even though the president says he doesn't trust it. the campaign is helping voters can absentee ballots and urging voters to turn them in. the president himself has used mail-in ballots but says there will be widespread fraud if there's only mail-in elections in november. many governors are pushing for it. governor newsom announced last week all voters in california will get a mail-in ballot. well today the supreme court will hear from the president's lawyers who want to keep the president's financial records a
5:49 am
secret. that's right. scott mcgrew joins us now and, scott, they want to quash a subpoena from a prosecutor in new york state. that's right, and an inquiry from congress as well so you have two parties very interested in the president's finances. the white house is going to argue that a sitting president should not have to be distracted by cases brought against him while he's president. and, indeed, justice kavanaugh said that writing a president who is concerned about an ongoing criminal investigation is almost inevitably going to do a worse job as president. history not on the president's side. in the past supreme courts have ruled against presidents in somewhat similar cases forcing nixon to turn over his tapes and allowing a sexual harassment lawsuit against a sitting president, bill clinton, to go forward. further weakening the
5:50 am
president's case the subpoenas are not directed at him. they're directed at his bank and his accountants' firm. congress wants the documents as a broad investigation into the president. the court could say that's too broad. in the case of a new york prosecutor looking into the payoff of two women. you know the case well. even the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani has said those payoffs occurred. president trump held a rose garden press conference where he said the u.s. was number one in testing. that's not precisely true. but the whole event was overshadowed after a reporter from cbs asked the president, and i will quote her, why is co everyday americans are still losing their lives? he told the reporter to go ask china. >> sir, why are you saying that to me specifically? >> i'm not saying it specifically to anybody. i'm saying it to anybody who would ask a nasty question. >> that's not a nasty question.
5:51 am
>> please go ahead. >> obviously there is a danger in covering the controversies over the policies that are happening in the white house. but in this case that was the most notable thing that happened at that event considering the president abruptly walked out after that woman challenged him. president trump put the clip on his twitter feed. he tweeted about it three times and 25 other tweets or re-tweets in the last two hours. >> i am also tweeting, maybe not as much as the presiden president, @scottmcgrew. thank you very much, scott. there's a new report that is shedding light on the amount of golden state warriors, the personnel actually, lost. due to the team stopped playing in march. they tell "the chronicle" most if not all laidoff staffers wilt
5:52 am
hosting events again provided there is nba basketball. but a state filing indicates more than 1,700 workers were cut, the most for any one bay area location since the pandemic took hold. the giants, meantime, laid off 1,200 workers. laura, i love this story. i know you love it as well. an unlikely friendship between two people in southern california is really getting national attention. >> oh, my gosh and for good reason. it all started when 93-year-old mike cane decided to hitchhike to the 99 cent store to get his girlfriend a chocolate bar. at 93 he has a girlfriend. this guy came along, rich farmer, picked him up and drove him there. the two became friends and farmer takes him grocery shopping during the pandemic. their story was shared on social media and got a lot of national attention even from "saturday night live."
5:53 am
>> within five minutes my phone was blowing up, people were posting it on facebook. it was just incredible to see how many people just resonated with the story. >> they sure did. the 99 cent store surprised cane with a shopping spree and a year's supply of hervey bars for his girlfriend. not only something good but something sweet there. let's check in with kari, 5:53. she has a look at our forecast. a little change. we've seen a lot of clouds, mist and drizzle. to the tri-valley where it's really hard to see. we have a lot of drivers up and out the door and so you may have to deal with the windshield wipers on. we're going to see our temperatures gradually warming up but it won't be as warm as yesterday. in fact, we've enjoyed some cooler than normal temperatures, or at least i'm enjoying it. some people like the warmer weather. let's check it out to see what's happening here. we're seeing the storm system to the north of us bringing a lot
5:54 am
