5:00 am
thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. mike is keeping track of what's happening on the roads. first, meteorologist kari hall with a look at what we can expect from the forecast. kari, just a little warmer today. yeah, it's going to be a very nice day, a lot of sunshine but still a slight chance of rain. we can see a few clouds and that may keep temperatures up and make it feel warmer to you. we're in the low 50s. very nice today with upper 60s and making it into the low 70s today. i'm also still tracking a chance of rain. we will talk about where we may see those showers and when. laura? thanks so much, kari. taking a live look at capitol hill this morning where there is mixed reaction to president trump's unexpected announcement that he's taking an unproven drug to avoid becoming infected by covid-19.
5:01 am
house speaker nancy pelosi says he shouldn't be taking it. "today in the bay's" tracie potts has more on that and today's testimony expected on capitol hill. good morning, tracie. >> reporter: laura, good morning, and also the president tweeting this morning about the world health organization, tweeting part of a letter suggesting that he's threatening to permanently leave and cut funding from the world health organization because he's been making this argument that they knew about the virus much earlier than they let on to the u.s. and other countries. while that may get some attention today, it's a big story, it's perhaps not as shocking as what the president revealed about taking this drug even though the fda says it may not work and in some people it could be dangerous. >> so far i seem to be okay. >> reporter: president trump with the stunning revelation he's been taking
5:02 am
hydroxychloroquine, one pill a day, for the last week and a half, under a doctor's care. the white house physician saying the potential benefits outweighed the relative risk. clinical trials found it doesn't work. >> maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. if it doesn't, you're not going to get sick or die. >> reporter: the fda warns against it except for the sickest hospital patients. >> doctors in particular stopped using it because we're saying it doesn't seem to work that well and does have issues with heart arrhythmia, a big concern. >> reporter: reaction on capitol hill -- >> reckless. simply reckless. he's giving people false hope. >> reporter: today the senate hears from treasury secretary steve mnuchin and federal reserve chair powell on whether the $2 trillion spent so far on the economy is working. democrats want $3 trillion more. >> going to have to raise taxes, cut services or both unless they have an infusion of cash. >> the 1,800-page door stop speaker pelosi dropped last week

was appropriately greeted as the legislative equivalent of a stand-up comedy. >> reporter: a stalemate as americans begin to see more crowded bars and beaches and mixed caseloads. stable in colorado and georgia. dropping in illinois. the biggest spike yet in texas. now a vaccine could help all that and developments under way. one company maderna is getting a lot of attention because early results show people got better, developed antibodies against the virus and even those who didn't weren't harmed by it. they're trying to create a bigger trial this summer. >> we're all waiting for it. thank you, tracie. speaking of waiting, people waiting for the coronavirus stimulus payments may be getting a debit card.
5:04 am
the treasury department says about 4 million people may soon receive a visa debit card in the mail. these are people who do not have direct deposit with the irs and would have otherwise received a check in the mail. about 10 million people -- go ahead. i was going to say about 10 million people are waiting to receive the stimulus payments. go ahead, marcus. >> no problem, laura, thanks. 5:04 this morning. contra costa county moving into phase two today. retail stores can provide curbside pickup. manufacturing can resume and some offices can reopen. condition tra ko contra costa county will enter phase two. south bay health leaders say hospitalizations and icu cases are trending downward.

"the mercury news" reporting the county had a change of heart two weeks after banning them but the county was essentially forced to reverse its ban because the governor's phase two reopening plan allowed karpa raids. federal health authorities
5:06 am
are urging states to proceed with caution before allowing nursing home visits. what they want to do, this new guidance, actually recommends that it shouldn't happen before each resident and staff member tests negative for covid-19 for at least 28 days. solano county confirms a total of 11 deaths. since last month "the chronicle" reports 130 people have also been infected at the windsor vallejo care center and one-fourth of those infected are workers. ramping up testing, san francisco opening three new sites this week including a mobile testing site, testing at city college of san francisco and a site in the bayview district. oakland also increasing testing. both cities are trying to reach people who live in vulnerable communities. supervisors are voting today on a plan to keep people struggling to make it in the bay at single room occupancy hotels.
5:07 am
supporters want to ban evictions for anyone unable to cover their rent during the pandemic. protecting renters will be the top of the agenda for many city councils across the bay area. san jose councilmembers are considering a new range including the end of the year and making it illegal for landlords to charge late fees during the shelter at home order. the current eviction moratorium for both residential and commercial problems, the city council will consider extending the rent payback period. today the el cerrito councilmembers vote on canceling raises. the city is facing potential bankruptcy. two of the major unions have agreed to forgo a 3% salary

5:10 am
at mountain have you and our start of the day. today we'll see the trend in the low 60s and then we're cooler than normal as we see our high temperatures reach up to 68 in livermore and 71. you don't like the hotter temperatures. is it starting to pick up on the roads? >> yes, it is starting to pick up a bit. already 5:10 in the morning we already have some slowing. we have an overnight advisory from chp they have some gusty winds. looks like a new fender-bender in the area. slowing approaching grant line road. back to you. >> thanks so much, mike.

5:14 am
ro right now at 5:14, a few clouds. low 50s this morning and it stays comfortable today. i'm still watching out for a slight chance of a pop-up shower. i'll have more on that in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. good morning. very happy tuesday to you. the two most important people running the american economy will be together today as they talk before congress.
5:15 am
treasury secretary steven mnuchin and jerome powell as they look into why so little of the money set aside by the c.a.r.e.s. act has actually reached american businesses. that will start at 7:00 our time. the stock market rocketed upward after a small company reported positive news about a search for a vaccine saying eight patients, yes, just eight, built a high level of antibodies against coronavirus. airlines, hotels, any industry hit by the pandemic moved higher. the dow up nearly 1,000 points. let me caution, as i often do, that this is just the first development in phase one. they're talking about if this were to go through you wouldn't see it until next june. so not this june but june of 2021. in the meantime johns hopkins reports there are 16,868 americans right now in icu in critical condition with coronavirus.
5:16 am
so let's be careful out there. the coronavirus turned out to be too much for pier 1. now it's asking a bankruptcy judge to let it go out of business. it was never able to find a buyer. women's wear daily, not something i quote on, amazon is looking at jcpenney as a purchase. amazon already owns whole foods. the magazine says there are amazon executives at penney's headquarters as we speak. square the latest to tell workers they can stay home forever, work at home forever if they want to. twitter did that, too. they share the same ceo in jack dorsey. and then history made in texas as they conducted a trial on zoom and posted the whole thing to youtube live. now we have video of this, but we were so surprised that a texas court would post the video of jurors, which it would never do in california.
5:17 am
we're waiting for our own lawyers to wake up and depp side whether or not it's something we can show on tv. marcus and laura, they had a lot of trouble -- one woman was sideways in the zoom panel. another man left to go take a phone call in the middle of the whole thing. the judge is like, mr. smith? mr. smith, we need to you come back to the jury. it's fascinating to watch. if we can show it to you, we will. >> very interesting. thanks, scott we have some new details this morning. if you have an iphone, you probably know someone who does as well, you may be entitled to $25. this is after a settlement surrounding claims apple slowed down older version iphones. cupertino based company has agreed to pay up to $500 million to iphone owners. apple is not acknowledging wrongdoing but says it wants to
5:18 am
avoid burdensome litigation. listen to this one. new for you that morning, one lucky person in southern california has hit the jackpot. they purchased a winning super lottery ticket on saturday night at a 7-eleven in national city outside of san diego. so far the winner has not come forward. >> they're at home. trending this morning, be honest, how many excuses do you make a day? according to a new survey the average american makes 2,200 every year. so that breaks down to about six excuses a day. the top excuses just being too tired or not having enoughne enough time, inconvenienced, and being too forgetful rounds out the top five. >> interesting. do i use any of those? >> you're trying to think of an excuse. >> right. >> you're pretty good.
5:19 am
you don't make a lot of excuses. you're a stand-up guy. >> just do it. that's what i say. >> get it done. >> 5:18. let's get this done. trending for you this morning, harry stiles just dropped a new video. ♪ watermelon sugar, boy. we're all stuck inside, he's bringing the beach to us. watermelon sugar is from his album titled "fine line." don't worry, the music video was shot in january. you see how close theyying thei. when it comes to the meaning of his music, he has said that he doesn't like to explain what's behind every single hit. so jumping back to the other story, is that an excuse, harry styles or is it just the true
5:20 am
answer? >> just too tired to change the lyrics. >> the person is really sweet to you. >> up for interpretation. i could use some of that watermelon. >> i know. a lot of people like that on a warm day. kari, today will be a warm one out there for us. especially as we go into the weekend. today feels nice and comfortable. cool, refreshing breezes coming by some nearby rain. yesterday a couple pop-up storms. there still will be that chance for today. make sure you have that bay area app and get the alerts as rain approaches your location. as we get a look at what's going on now, a beautiful start to this tuesday morning as the sun rises and our temperatures are now in the low 50s. we'll see it trending into the mid-60s as we go into today.
5:21 am
but that's a little bit lower than where we should be for this time of year. moving into parts of the east bay. for contra costa county and down to the tri-valley is when we could see pop-up showers and maybe even a few thunderstorms. but then it all starts to wind down tonight. once these showers get out of here, we're going to start to warm up for the rest of the week. as high pressure builds we'll see the temperatures going up a few more degrees each day and in time for the memorial day weekend we're talking about highs in the upper 80s, even low 90s. take a look at this trend here, 71 today and then some 80s. you see those upper 80s. once again we're going to dry out, not looking at any more rain chances and hot weather as we welcome in summer unofficially this weekend. and, mike, you've been watching the morning commute. how is it picking up out there?
5:22 am
>> kari, it's picking up according to the pattern we had before quarantine. we are not looking at as much traffic. it shows you still green almost everywhere with pop-ups here and there. the crash around grant line road, by the time you get to north flynn you are clearing. this is the second week now we've been seeing this and it's starting earlier than a week ago. the rest of the bay shows a smooth drive. observing, where our traffic flows smoothly, we haven't heard delays from the overnight work. 5:22. getting back to business next on "today in the bay," the casinos now reopening in southern california. but we're always on social media. check out these photos of kris

5:25 am
welcome back, 5:25, and developing right now, federal atf investigators have joined a criminal investigation into the
5:26 am
massive fireball saturday at a los angeles hash oil manufacturer. 12 firefighters became trapped in this fireball, four of them are still in the hospital, all are expected to recover. agents are trying to reconstruct and figure out the cause. there are no records of any license or commercial cannabis applications from the supplier. new york city remains closed for now but with barricades ready to be put up. in texas gyms are allowed to partially reopen along with a maximum 25% capacity. gyms won't be able to open their lockers or showers. one of san diego's largest casinos is open again. yesterday people stood six feet apart as they waited to get inside the casino in alpine.
5:27 am
slot machines are limited and masks are required which some found odd because smoking is still allowed. something good for you this morning and what you might say in an aspiring bay area barista will appear on "the kelly clarkson show" today. >> we first introduced you to ben ramirez a few weeks ago. he serves up coffee out of his san francisco apartment window. >> it takes a few minutes and i have time to just sit here and chat with people and check in with them and see how their day is going. that's at 3:00 this afternoon right here on nbc bay area. in the meantime pour yourself
5:28 am
another cup of coffee. up next on "today in the bay," we're going to have a look at our top stories including a look at the latest south bay city that may require to have you wear those facemasks whenever you're out in public. plus -- >> plus testing glitch. why thousands of students across the country will be forced to retake an important exam. we're all doing our part by staying at home.
5:29 am
that could mean an increase in energy bills. 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. there are times when our need to connect really matters. to keep customers and employees in the know. to keep business moving. comcast business is prepared for times like these. powered by the nation's largest gig-speed network. to help give you the speed, reliability, and security you need. tools to manage your business from any device, anywhere. and a team of experts - here for you 24/7. we've always believed in the power of working together. that's why, when every connection counts... you can count on us.
5:30 am
it's like i'm stuck, i'm
5:31 am
trapped and can't do nothing. right now at 5:30 as quarantine fatigue takes root, another bay area county reopens its shops for curbside pickup and more. a live report next on what's opening for business today in contra costa county. >> the future of dining out outside. san jose considers allowing restaurants to expand on to the streets, what that would look like coming up in a live report. and b.a.r.t.'s extension to the south bay is slowly rolling forward. next the big hurdle just cleared as "today in the bay" continues right now. good morning to you and thank you for joining us. 5:31. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. kari, how is it shaping up for us today? >> it's going to be a nice day. take a look at this beautiful sun rise as we are seeing more
5:32 am
clouds moving over parts of the east bay, walnut creek. the sun just trying to peek through the clouds this morning. we'll see temperatures in the low 50s and then a mix of sun and clouds today but also tracking a slight chance of rain as we go into this afternoon. i'll have more on that nearby storm system and what's ahead in a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. this morning another bay area county will open, meaning more changes for about a million more people. phase two allows retail stores to provide things like curbside pickup. some offices are now allowed to reopen. so entering that phase today is contra costa county. as you can see there contra costa in the yellow. they will follow marin, san francisco, san mateo and alameda counties who eased restrictions. friday santa clara will enter phase two. but let's talk more about what's happening today. sharon katsuda is live for us in concord with how businesses are
5:33 am
gearing up. sharon? >> reporter: marcus, this new veranda shopping area was popular months ago, but then, soon enough, the businesses had to shut down because of the pandemic except for some of the restaurants. local businesses are finally getting ready for the change, filling orders for curbside pickup with the phase two reopening retail stores can reopen for curbside pick yum or delivery, child care, limited manufacturing, car washes, pet grooming, landscaping, outdoor museums, open gallery spaces. they're all allowed to reopen. restaurant dining will also be allowed under strict rules and outdoor gatherings where participants stay in their vehicles such as church gatherings or gatherings for graduations will now be allowed. and for those vehicle gatherings you must have the permission of the property owner where you are parked in those parking lots and the families must be from the same households who are in those vehicles. reporting live in concord, i'm
5:34 am
sharon katsuda, "today in the bay." in south bay, looking for ways to help businesses bring customers in on friday while keeping them socially distant and that may mean dining al fresco. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live with more on that. good morning, kris. >> reporter: the next time we go out to dinner, eating out might mean eating outside in areas like this one, a little parklet here in downtown willow glen, an area expanded into the parking area, and some planters. this is the same kind of idea that could apply to downtown san jose and really anywhere in the city that the city could identify as safe for that kind of al fresco dining. that could be parklets like the one where we are today or expanding the sidewalk seating. the goal is to help ease the
5:35 am
pain for restaurants which could lose up to half their seating indoors because of the mandatory social distancing requirement. the public health department has to sign off but already this has support from the city's business organizati organizations and restaurant owners. >> that's what we need from our city government. we need them to help us get the ball rolling. >> reporter: san mateo is considering more outdoor seating, perhaps closing two seats to allow restaurants to serve customers outside. berkeley is voting on an al fresco dining june 2nd. regardless of what our local governments decide we will have to have permission from the federal government before our restaurants and bars can serve alcohol outside. the vote is happening at 1:30 this afternoon. i would love to mo what you have to say about it. join the conversation on facebook and on twitter. i know in just talking with neighbors, socially distant across the street, seem to like the idea. i would like to mo whknow what
5:36 am
rest of you have to say as well. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> it could help some businesses out there. thanks, kris. today is the last day for specialty's. the bay area bakery and cafe chain that launched more than 30 years ago. the company says fallout from the pandemic decimated its business. specialty's started in pleasanton, expanded to 55 stores in three states and made catering to local businesses a true specialty. >> absolutely. believe it or not when you're walking around outside in the public and san jose you're still not required to wear face coverings but that could all change soon. santa clara county is not among bay area counties that have approved mask requirements. they will vote on possibly requiring it within city limits. cupertino and milpitas have already passed similar policies. b.a.r.t.'s new berryessa
5:37 am
will reopen. do we know when it will open, bob? >> reporter: not yet. the berryessa station behind me we believe will open in a matter of days or weeks, not a matter of months. the vta, valley transportation authority, which built and owns the station along with b.a.r.t., will sign off on the safety and security certificate. all safety tests have been completed at the station. this is a big deal. when will that be? they will announce that opening date at the 10:00 a.m. signing ceremony. the cpuc, the california public utilities commission, has 14 days to sign off on the safety verification. it will be interesting how many people are even riding at that point. given that b.a.r.t. ridership is
5:38 am
down 90% so far during this pandemic. berryessa and the brand-new milpitas b.a.r.t. stations are part of a phase one ten-mile extension into san jose. both are supposed to open but there were delays. turns out it was a problem in the communication system. phase two will take b.a.r.t. through downtown san jose and into santa clara. reporting live here in north san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you. pg&e saying wildfire victims are supporting a large fund set up as part of a utilities bankruptcy plan. it would allocate more than $13 billion to cover losses tied to a series of wildfires blamed on pg&e's equipment.
5:39 am
the utility says the plan won overwhelming support from the victims. attorneys will present the results to a bankruptcy judge on friday. students in alameda get six extra days of summer vacation this year due to the pandemic. that's because yesterday the school board voted to end the academic year early. training teachers for changes due to the coronavirus. the last day of school is may 29th. last week tens of thousands of students had problems submitting answers so now the college board which administers the test has students running into trouble will be given a unique email address to send their answers to. the school board -- the college board, rather, says less than 1% of the 2 million students who took the test have problems.
5:40 am
don't you mistaking tests? >> not the ap test. >> life is a test every day. >> lately it is. >> i like to think of it as i'm growing. kari, you've been doing a great job reporting from home with all your gadgets and gizmos. >> thank you. i will show some of those on a nice book live chat. be sure to join me. we're starting out with this beautiful live view this morning as we head over to the east bay. this is one of the spots i'll be watching. it starts out nice. a little bit cooler than normal.
5:41 am
i'll have more coming up. we're getting back to a familiar or not so familiar pattern. the map shows you green all over the place. the tri-valley shows you slowing for 84 and, of course, out of the altamont pass, looks a little slower than it was about this time a week ago. scott talked about the door dash and wanted to revisit that, where restaurants can share space to prep and sell food for doordash. it's a push toward an already growing delivery market before quarantine. this is chuck e. cheese. they do have grub hub which they participate. i don't generally look to the mouse for takeout. i might try pasqually's pizza and wings at the same address. food and wine magazine reports this alter ego for the mouse
5:42 am
makes a higher end product intended for capturing the delivery market. i have to say it's pretty clever but it's also -- is that the new normal? will folks have one identity for one market and another for a different marketing scheme? we'll have to see how this plays out. >> wow, interesting. >> thanks, mike. 5:42 this morning. and returning to the game. next here on "today in the bay," what governor gavin newsom is saying about allowing professional sports across california. president trump is startling us with a number of different things. i'll run you through them and tell you which, at least i think, is the most important coming up. and reopening too soon? the growing outrage as disney plans to reopen one of its u.s. locations in the coming days.
5:43 am
5:44 am
5:45 am
right now at 5:45 as we start out with a live look outside in the tri-valley we head to dublin looking hazy this morning, but temperatures are cool and we will have a little bit cooler than normal day. i'm also watching out for a chance of rain so i'll have more on that in the forecast coming up. a double stabbing in west oakland. investigators say this all started as an argument between several people along west 23rd street not too far from west grand avenue this was around 8:00 last night.
5:46 am
both victims were found near the crime scene, one stabbed multiple times. both were taken to the hospital. we're still working to find out their condition. so far no arrests. new details prosecutors have filed four murder charges against a man they say drove the dodge durango that flipped over multiple times on highway 85 last week killing four passengers. it hammppened on wednesday nigh and closed all lanes for hours. the driver and another passenger survived with minor injuries. investigators say the driver had a suspended license from driving drunk and was more than twice the legal limit when he lost control at about 100 miles per hour. he's being held without bail. california's new zero bail rules rolled out during the pandemic. concerns amongst some judges and prosecutors. the temporary new guidelines for most misdemeanors and low level felonies. the thinking is it will keep
5:47 am
detention facilities less crowded and lower the spread of the virus. one judge says the new system is really sparking repeat offenders who get out of custody in no time. >> and if they know bail will be set at zero for certain offenses, it's obvious they're going to commit those offenses, be cited and released. >> the state judicial council says they can deviate from the policy if they believe the defendant poses a threat to the public. governor newsom's proposal to spend another $3 billion on coronavirus related items is raising a red flag certainly for state lawmakers. this week legislators are actually debating the governor's request. yesterday budget analysis raised major concerns. this comes in the wake of the recently announced $54 billion budget deficit. critics point out lawmakers have
5:48 am
already given the governor $1 billion to spend for the crisis. expecting a surge in patients that they say never materialized. 5:47 for you that morning. and president trump says he's taking a daily dose of hydroxychloroquine. >> scott mcgrew joins us now and, scott, this caught everybody off guard. oh, it really did. he is doing this, he says, with the advice and consent of the white house physician. but it is an unusual choice. hydroxychloroquine will not stop you from getting covid-19, and the study by the va, the u.s. government, after all, found it was associated with more deaths with some of the patients that had covid-19. but ultimately this is a choice between the president and his doctor. mr. trump says he's been taking one pill a day for about a week and a half. the president also posted a letter to twitter that he wrote to the world health organization
5:49 am
warning the w.h.o. that the u.s. would likely permanently cut off all funds to the w.h.o. in the mr. trump feels the w.h.o. is too kocozy with china. the really big story out of washington is about mike pompeo. the president told us yesterday he fired the state department's inspector general at the request of secretary of state mike pompeo. the inspector general was apparently investigating pompeo. so you have the person being investigate investigated ask that the person investigating him be fired, and the president did it. congress has limited authority to undo this. even some republicans like chuck grassley are saying, hold on, this sounds odd. the president says he didn't know why he was asked to fire the inspector general, but he did. >> that i can't tell you.
5:50 am
i don't think so. i think maybe he thinks he's being treated unfairly. again, he wanted to -- he asked me if that was possible. i'll do that, sure. i think it should have been done a long time ago, trangly. he has had some controversy, this inspector general. >> this is the fourth time the president has fired an inspector general or an acting inspector general. they are watchdogs over government behavior and spending. we don't know specifically what pompeo was being investigated for. first the claim was it was maybe using a staff member to walk his dog. it was something very minor. but we have since learned from "the wall street journal" it may be an investigation into pompeo helping the president sell arms to saudi arabia. you'll recall congress forbade
5:51 am
it but the president declared an emergency allowing him to do it. we're following those reports very carefully. again, the fourth time an ig has been fired by the president. this one apparently at the request of somebody being investigated. we're following everything that's happening in washington. you can follow us on twitter. you'll find me ther there @scottmcgrew. thank you very much, scott. we all miss our sports and especially in the bay area we miss our baseball. but with the possibility of playing again, maybe not even with people in the stands, it's certainly getting fans excited. governor newsom is suggesting it may be possible for sports to return by next month. of course to actually see baseball again at oracle park or the coliseum still a lot has to happen. but the mere thought of it has a lot of people feeling hopeful. >> better than nothing.
5:52 am
