why the location of that rally is adding a new later to controversy. and a question on the mind of many parents. what will school look like in the fall? how one school district is preparing. "today in the bay" continues right now. a very good thursday morning. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. mike is keeping an eye on that commute and in just a minute we'll find out about that. but first a look at meteorologist kari hall and the forecast for today. should be cool for most of us throughout the bay area. >> right. this is the reason why. you probably thought i was standing in front of a blank screen but this is our view in san francisco where it's foggy right now and mist and drizzle and this fog gets thicker over the next 24 hours. that will help cool us all off. as we look at our high temperatures for today, we'll still have some spots heating up

into the upper 80s and low 90s and, mike, tracking the commute, any new reports popping up? >> no new reports but i'll update the report because, kari, as we look at the bay bridge toll plaza camera we see slowing approaching the toll plaza itself because the volume is building heading up the incline and they may turn the metering lights on in the next 20 minutes and from the toll plaza up into the incline. everything else on the approach was very smooth through contra costa county and the rest of the bay shows no major issues and slowing for san jose still holding on. back to you. so much, mike. 6:01 right now. breaking news we've been following. we've learned that federal agents are looking into possible connections between two deadly ambush attacks. one in oakland and another in santa cruz county. and the shooting of a deputy yesterday we told you about in paso robles.

"today in the bay" bob redell is live to talk about both of these and the investigation meantime to look for the shooter still along the way along the central coast, bob. >> laura. within the past several hours we learned that law enforcement appears to be closing in on the suspect in the paso robles area. overnight law enforcement heard him firing off his gun. law enforcement was heard setting off flash bang grenades at a nearby apartment complex and we also know they shut off the highway 101 onramp. in the ongoing search for this man his name is mason james lira and a 26-year-old homeless man from the monterey area. the san loui obispo said he opened fire on the police department early yesterday morning. when chp and deputies arrived to help, lira shot a deputy in the face and took off. we do not know the condition of that deputy. investigators also believe that lira shot and killed a man whose

body was found at a nearby amtrak station. our investigative unit learned that federal agents are learning whether the oakland and santa cruz county is connected to this attack in paso robles. you recall a sheriff was killed in ben lomond and two others were injured and officials have arrested a man named steven carrillo. they believe carrillo is part of a domestic terrorist cell. authorities believe the white van used in that oakland shooting is the same one they recovered in the santa cruz county attack. however, the driver of that van remains at large. reporting live bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you. president trump heads to dallas today to meet with police and religious leaders. but it's a rally in oklahoma next week that is really sparking a lot of controversy. "today in the bay" tracie potts

is live this morning with that and the effort to remove symbols of racism in washington and the nation's military basis. tracie? >> right. the president is a big no on renaming those bases and he's getting a lot of questions, too, marcus, about this rally that he scheduled next week about the timing and the location of that. president trump heads to dallas today. he'll talk police reform with state leaders and law enforcement. but it's his rally next week in tulsa, oklahoma, that is drawing criticism. >> beautiful new venue. brand-new. and they're looking forward to it. >> reporter: that rally, the first since the coronavirus pandemic is scheduled on june 19th. june teenth, a day when african-americans remember the end of slavery happening in a city where a white mob killed hundreds of black residents in 1921. the president also refusing to rename ten military bases

honoring confederate generals. on capitol hill, democrats want confederate statues removed. >> the individuals being honored by those statues, in effect, fought to keep people enslaved. i don't think that is something we ought to honor in america. >> reporter: republicans are aiming to release their police reform plans friday. some think there is a chance for compromise with democrats who want to ban chokeholds and create a national database of police misconduct. >> you can say if you don't give us that information and you don't get the money. people will change their opinion. >> we cannot approach this debate by cherry picking one or two reforms and calling the job complete. >> reporter: the first congressional hearing on reforms featured the brother of george floyd. >> justice has to be served. >> reporter: testifying and leading a march near the white house calling for justice. so, we'll continue to watch and

see what develops here in washington but around the country in the environment that we're in right now, there is also concern about police being targeted. of course, you reported on it and you've seen it there in california several times in the last couple of weeks with that suspect still at large. >> exactly. we're following that from overnight news. thank you very much, tracie. 6:06 right now. meanwhile a day of protest in oakland and mayor libby schaaf's home. protesters lit candles and held a moment of silence calling for change. earlier in the day more than 1,000 people gathered. the crowd was filled with mostly young people, many of whom demanded the city rethink its ties to oakland police. >> defund opd and get opd out of schools. >> a lot of people it's really bad and not the right way. we w here because we want him to qknow there are people who care about this. >> also in oakland, a powerful protest at lake merritt.

a sea of people lay face down with their hands behind their backs for almost nine minutes, the amount of time george floyd was pinned to the ground. well, happening today in san francisco, black student union students are holding a black lives matter march. it starts at 3:00 p.m. start at the bay view opera house and head down third street. school districts now have three weeks to get their plans in place for returning this fall. today san jose district leaders present their initial plans to parents and teachers. many of the families are already saying if it is anything like the end of this past school year, students may be in trouble. "today in the bay" kris sanchez is live in san jose with the progress report this morning. kris? >> hi, marcus. three weeks is not a lot of time left to come up with that plan not having much of a summer break at this point as they try to prepare that plan to reopen for the fall and present it to parents and teachers this afternoon. the district of 30,000 students

shut down in march and conducted distanced learning until the end of the school year last week like many districts did. the state superintendent issued a 62-page guidelook covering everything from safety and sanitation to models for instruction. parents frustrated by how the district handled distance learning are banning together on a facebook page called teach our kids. there are about 900 members. they want more clear and consistent expectations for students and teachers and for the district to inovaivate to rh students at all levels. >> it will be very challenging to our have students back on campus full time. we'll see some creative thinking and approach to make sure our kids are learning. the state standards love them or hate them, the common core state standards are not getting taught to right now. >> now, i asked for an interview with superintendent nancy

alvarana head of today's meeting but she's not available until tomorrow. parents should have gotten a code for today's meeting held via webx but you can find it on my facebook page and twitter feed. the head of sonoma county schools will announce a plan there and 40 different school districts there and 70,000 students and a lot of folks listening in for that. that's happening tomorrow. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you. 6:09 right now and happening today yosemite fully reopens to the public for the first time since the pandemic forced it to shut its gates back in march. however, only for people with permits. also visitors should not expect the same access or amenities for the park that they normally offer. overnight, camping in yosemite valley will be available, but limited. so vehicle traffic is limited to about half of the average rate.

and one of the largest parks in the south bay reopened. san jose's alum rock welcomes visitors this morning, but there is going to be very limited parking, drinking fountains are closed, bring your own water. no barbecues allowed, as well. of course, remember the social distancing rules, as well. but, you know, as we see these parks and recreation areas open up, nice for people to get a little fresh air and little bit of cooling today, too, kari. >> yeah, we're starting out this morning with temperatures mostly in the 50s and low 60s. and we are also going to see some fog near the coastline keeping it cool there but as we look in san jose, we're starting out all clear and our temperature trend will go from the low 60s to the upper 80s again today it still will be warm for our interior valleys and a wide range in temperatures from the low 60s at half moon bay to up to 90 today in antioch. we'll talk more about this and some weekend cooling for us all coming up. mike, how is it looking for the commute? >> it's looking great's your ty

slower spots but not stopped. no major issues for the speed sensors and slowing into the tri-valley out of the altamont pass and 84 through sunol and livermore. if you're leaving the house now, which you probably are, consider the metering lights on by the time you get there. back to you. >> all right, thank you very much, mike. 6:11 right now. much more ahead on "today in the bay" this thursday morning. including theme parks that are opening, including disneyland. ahead at 6:25, the new safety measures you should expect along with much thinner crowds. as we open a second wave of the pandemic is not only possible, it may be already starting with numbers in texas quadrupling. look how wall street is reacting. major, major down arrows as investors realize the seriousness.

>> i have to admit, i wasn't expecting an invitation back. >> they're called orders, maverick. so, look, are you looking to soar on to the big screen? we'll tell you about the top flight gravity defined stunts for the reboot of that top film from the 1980s. you see it right there, "top gun." we'll talk about it, coming up. when the world gets complicated,

a lot goes through your mind. with fidelity wealth management, your dedicated adviser can give you straightforward advice and tailored recommendations. that's the clarity you get with fidelity wealth management.

we're coming up on 6:15 and let's head to walnut creek where we can start opening up the windows and letting cool air in this morning before it warms up again. one more day of our inland valleys hitting into the upper 80s and low 90s. we'll talk more about a weekend cool down coming up in a few minutes. a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. yeah, just a couple minutes ago they officially turned the metering lights on. we had already shown you the slowing to warn you about that. looks like folks are heading into the city for their work day, scott. good morning and a very happy thursday to you. thursday, of course, is when we get the first-time jobless claims. latest numbers just coming in show 1.5 million americans ask for unemployment insurance or unemployment benefits for the first time last week. that number is down significantly and it's been trending down as businesses open up. but as businesses open up, we're

seeing the second wave perhaps of the pandemic. look at what wall street thinks of that. a severe pull back ahead. we may not have had a choice, but opening up the economy did exactly what doctors warned it would do and wall street seems to be realizing that this morning. federal reserve chairman jay powell says he expects tough times for years ahead. he hopes, he says, unemployment will fall to just 9% later this year. >> this is the biggest economic shock in the u.s. and in the world really in living memory. we went from the lowest level of unemployment in 50 years to the highest level in close to 90 years and we did it in two months. extraordinary. >> the fed concluded its two-day interest rate meeting without touching rates. they really can't go any lower. too late for some of the workers at wells fargo. the chief financial officer told an audience at a business

conference significant layoffs are ahead according to "the business journal." it will run as lean as possible. companies tell the state of california big companies do when they're going to do big layoffs. they're called warn notices as worker adjustment restraining notification lift, lending club, ibm, yall plan to cut. time to start building the tesla semi truck. he didn't say they are building the truck, he said it is time to build it. with that jump in stock, tesla now worth about $$190 billion. the biggest car company in the world is toyota worth about $210 billion and tesla is in the way of being the most valuable car company in the world and makes a fraction. toyota makes about 2.5 million in that same time. >> wow.

more people just pay more for those teslas. >> there you go. all right, thanks. 6:17 right now. even the jetsons would agree something good from a japanese company. it's a robot that can stop diseases like covid-19 in its tracks. it uses infrared ultraviolet to kill viruses on door handles. the company originally came up with a humanoid robot to offset japan's shrinking workforce and also clean toilets and work as a security guard and carry out equipment inspections and it runs for about $1,000 a month. that's pretty cool. well, trending this morning, '80s movie fans we have the first look at some high-flying stunts that may truly take your breath away. >> how cool is that? so, the filmmaker shooting the

new "top gun" sequel revealing some of the stunts happening there on set. they actually posted this clip to twitter saying, quote, no cgi here. in fact, tom cruise made the studio agree not to use cgi before he would agree to do the movie. the sequel was supposed to hit theaters this month, but, of course, because of the pandemic, it is now pushed back to december. >> i want to see the outtakes with tom cruise. he'll probably never let us see those. >> not tom cruise. but it is cool that he actually does many of his stunts. so, i think that's pretty cool. >> exactly. >> the insurance company doesn't think it's cool, but he does. >> all right, no stunts needed for this forecast. >> skateboard stunts. i know, exactly. a lot of kids getting out. be careful. >> yeah, you do have to be careful out there. but we've also had some very warm weather. we're going to start to feel

that cool down today for some of us. let's head to the tri-valley as we get a live look outside. already a lot of people up and out the door with temperatures this morning starting out in the upper 50s and low 60s. we're at 55 degrees in san martin and 63 degrees right now in concord. so, nice, cool start to the day. it's the best time to get out for a workout. as we check out our temperature trend in martinez, some 60s for the next couple of hours and then as we head towards noon, we're reaching the low 80s eventually be in the mid up toer 80s today. as we reach up to 90 degrees in antioch and morgan hill expect a high of 89 degrees. we'll see palo alto reaching 82 and napa reach 86 degrees. we're coming off of that really hot weather that we had the past couple days. it's still going to be warm for some of us, but some cooler air will start to move in as a storm system passes to our north and also brings in that slight chance of rain farther to the north and the north bay. and then as we look at next week, high pressure starts to

build once again and it's going to give us some hotter temperatures from sunday into the start of next week. so, our cool down only happens for a couple of days. we're in the upper 80s today. some mid 70s tomorrow as that marine layer and that fog really builds near the coast and it will keep it foggy there. inland areas will get enough of an ocean breeze to help cool us off. on saturday we're still looking pretty good and still some comfortably warm weather for the inland areas on sunday but we start to trend back into the 90s for early next week while san francisco will mostly see some 60s over the next few days. mike, you've been keeping an eye on the commute. how is it looking? >> you know, we're looking a little crowded over at the bay bridge toll plaza and windows up. we'll make sure that we don't spread anything over there as far as any disease because we still have, of course, to socially distance. but i don't know how that would apply over at the toll plaza. again, windows are up and metering lights are on. the map shows you the slower

drive and i circled that over there and out of san francisco, notice this. a little slowing, as well, on the incline away from san francisco. it just cleared in the last 30 seconds but i will watch and heard of no problems out of the city or into the city. the rest of the bay shows a smooth drive. slowing in the usual spots. san mateo is picking up the volume a bit and westbound over to the peninsula. you see low clouds and maybe a little fog at the golden gate bridge but not affecting the drivers. no one's surprised. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:22 right now. coming up next, bay area responds. new rules make it easier than ever to take money out of your retirement account early but don't go running to the bank just yet. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. what you stand to lose by taking your money out now.

the suspect. we are talking about police san luis obispo police officer and the chp they're looking for mason james lira a 26-year-old homeless man from the monterey area. a clerk at a gas station spotted him and he was sweaty and tired and buying food and an energy drink and law enforcement heard setting off flash bang grumades and they could hear the suspect firing off his gun as they searched for him. the sheriff's office said lira opened fire on the police department early yesterday morning. when chp and deputies arrived to help lira shot a deputy in the face and took off. we do not know the condition of that deputy. he shot and killed a man whose body was found at a nearby amtrak station. the fed is looking whether lira is connected to two shooting deaths of law enforcement here in the bay area. on saturday a santa clara

district would be very collaborative with other districts and other, as they call them stakeholders and have parental support and collaboration. but, honestly, it doesn't make any difference. their job is to teach kids. >> now, parents should have received a code for today's webex meeting. if you still need one visit kris sanchez's facebook or twitter page. the show will not go on after all at coachella this year. the pandemic has forced its cancellation along with stagecoach music festival. both events were postponed and scheduled for october and typically held in april. just then the weekly jobless numbers 1.5 million people filed first-time claims but the masks and the march, the tenth straight weekly decline in first-time claims as businesses reopen. another 21 million americans filed continuing claims.

it's 6:46. president trump has rejected a proposal to rename american bases named after confederate generals. >> now that protocol came from the military itself and now, scott mcgrew, the senate is adding its voice. >> yeah, this is a developing story. very surprising. the powerful senate armed services committee, remember, run by republicans this morning in a voice vote passed a resolution saying, yes, we should, indeed, rename all of those bases. this comes one day after president trump put his foot down and rejected the idea. the armed services committee controls the purse strings, so, this is shaping up to be quite the collision course with the white house. you'll hear of ft. bragg in california named after confederate brexton bragg. a retired judge looked against national former security michael flynn has filed his

report to the court. flynn twice pled guilty to lying to the fbi about his contact. he thinks the government's propose tool drop the charges because they are trying to disguidi dismiss. the dismissal or the proposal is perposturous and he was hired by the judge to take that side. meanwhile, flynn's lawyer are going above the judge's head and appealed to the appellate court and two courts trying to decide the same issue. that's extremely unusual. the president will travel to dallas, texas, today to talk to law enforcement there, as well as african-american faith leaders. a senior white house official said it is possible that mr. trump could announce executive axzs to address police violence. the president said he will return to big rallies planning one for next week in oklahoma.

social distancing not planned for that event. we'll be following this new development and the senate arms services committee and we'll talk about it on twitter. you can find me there. i'm @scottmcgrew. last night mlb held its draft and the top overall pick is from right here in the bay area. the detroit tigers selected spencer torkelson and grew up in petaluma. torkelson is a power hitter and can play first base but was drafted as a third baseman. >> that's so exciting. especially for his parents, too. you know how many little league games they probably drove him to. >> and the practices. >> yeah, you always have dreams for your kids. that's really cool to see him make it. congrats. >> absolutely. congrats to him, indeed. congrats on all of us today because the forecast is a winning forecast for us especially after some of those hot temperatures we experienced

earlier in the week, kari. >> yeah, we are seeing the changes already this morning as we take a live look outside in san francisco. the fog has rolled back from the city, but we're still seeing it across the bay and hovering right over the golden gate bridge. that gives us that iconic view this morning. it's also going to provide some cooling even for the inland areas, even though it's starting out sunny in the south bay. we are going to get a bit of a breeze as we check out willow glen and our temperature trend will be in the low 60s to start and we'll see a mostly sunny sky. we'll reach into the low 80s by early in the afternoon and eventually see our high temperature reach about 84 degrees but there will still be some areas in the inland east bay that won't get much of that cooling from that fog but an improvement over yesterday. up to 90 in antioch today and 86 in napa and san francisco stays in the 60s today. look at that seven-day forecast. it's already up at the bottom of the screen. we'reo

the north as that storm system comes by, it will bring in a stronger ocean breeze. it will help cool us off starting out tomorrow and continue through saturday. but then high pressure starts to come back in and it's going to heat us up from sunday into early next week. so, we only get really a couple days of a break from this heat as we reach into the upper 80s inland today and mid 70s tomorrow and some upper 70s on saturday. i think it's going to be the best day of the weekend will be saturday. sunday it starts warm up and next week some 90s back in the forecast. mike, you have been watching the roads. is it still flowing smoothly? >> pretty smoothly. i mean, even the backup is moving smoothly as we expect at the bay bridge toll plaza and that shows up on the map as just this little section of red with the arrow where we've marked it over in towards the san francisco area. out of oakland. now, in the same map we had an issue over there in alamo. it looked like it was cleared from the chp report.

perhaps i don't know. we have a fire that was reported on the street side of a fence. so, we're tracking that over in contra costa county. it doesn't sound like a big deal, but, of course, any fire could spread. we're going to track that. the rest of the bay moves very smoothly. besides the mild slowing and the look on the peninsula shows you 101 very clear and you see low clouds just kind of hanging out. back to you. >> all right, thanks, mike. happening now for you, the pga tour is back into the swing of things with the first tournament since the start of the pandemic. the charles schwab challenge is taking place in ft. worth, texas. many top players were out there on the court yesterday getting ready for their final practice swings and it will be the first of four tournaments held without fans. it is 6:52 right now. coming up next following you. the search for a gunman that epoened fire on a deputy in the
