local time in an area used by the uk and u.s. military jets. the pilot so far the only one known to be onboard has not been found. it is not clear how the plane went down. another police shooting is sparking protests. this happened over the weekend. tracie potts with reaction from lawmakers already grappling with police reform. tracie? >> reporter: the latest situation is now the backdrop of what's happening on capitol hill. southwest's tim scott the lone person on his party's side as they try to get together with democrats and get something done. anger and frustration spilling into the streets of atlanta after another police shooting involving a black man.

the scene of shooting torched. rayshard brooks was running away when he appeared to point a taser at officers. officer garrett rolfe shot and killed him of the he was fired, the police chief resignedturbin watch but i'm not sure it's as clear as what we've seen around the country on other issues. >> reporter: this latest shooting comes as congress considers police reform, tracking misconduct and eliminating chokeholds and no-knock warrants. >> these are meaningful reforms that will hold police accountable. >> have an act that requires more data to be provided so that we can actually come out with policies that are consistent. >> reporter: lawmakers pressured to pull money from it into soci services. >> nobody is going to defund the police. we can restructure the police forces, restructure or reimagine

policing. that is what we're going to do. >> reporter: the medical examiner has ruled brooks' death a homicide. two bullets in the back fueling growing frustration and demand for change. and democrats have already laid out their plans for change. republicans hoping to get theirs on the table before the july 4th holiday break. marcus? >> we'll be wait to go see what will happen with that. tracie potts in washington, thank you. protesters blocked track on the bay bridge for hours yesterday. take a look at this video from sky ranger showing you the westbound lanes at a standstill. this is on the upper deck near treasure island. black lives matter protesters tell us the high-profile demonstration was meant to bring attention to more than just police brutality. >> black lives matter is more than just police brutality. we're being murdered in every single aspect, not given opportunities to succeed. >> 29 people were arrested, five

"today in the bay's" bob redell is live for us at the berryessa b.a.r.t. station. a lot of people have been waiting so long to see what's happening behind you. >> reporter: after two years of delay b.a.r.t. has come to san jose. the brand-new berryessa station. it will be heading in the opposite direction to take passengers north to richmond. and also there's milpitas b.a.r.t. north of here. this means workers no longer have to drive to warm springs b.a.r.t. in fremont to catch a train. they come to berryessa. both stations opened and began service this past saturday morning. b.a.r.t. reports they transported just under 1,000 riders between those two

locations. a spokesperson said it's difficult to predict what ridership will be like today because it's not really a normal monday morning weekday begin the covid-19 shelter in place. ridership has been down about 90% due to the pandemic. what's this going to do for your commute? >> makes it a lot easier. i was commuting to warm springs a little longer and then before that to fremont. five miles. piece of cake now. >> reporter: you get to sleep in? >> yeah. >> reporter: how much? >> an extra half hour, 45 minutes. >> reporter: that's a big deal. >> yeah, yeah. a longer ride and more relaxation before you get in. >> reporter: this ten-mile extension cost $2.3 billion, took 20 years to plan, raise the money for and build. the next phase, which is years away, will extend b.a.r.t. into downtown san jose and santa clara. cal train is running more trains. up from about

40. there will be up to three trains an hour during the peak commute. six cars to each train to maximize physical distancing onboard. you will have to wear a mask in the station and on trains. reporting live here at berryessa b.a.r.t. in north san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> all right, something new there. thanks so much. continuing our coronavirus coverage, the recent spike of cases in sonoma county reportedly has not altered the scope of their big reopening plan they're having there. "the press democrat" reports the county on saturday experienced its largest one-day jump. health leaders warn the caseload will likely continue to grow but supervisors say as long as hospitals are not overloaded the county plans to move ahead. right now less than half of all icu beds are filled. well, a necessary but sometimes inconvenient service resumes this morning in san francisco. so if you have a car there

because street sweepers in march mayor breed suspended parking restrictions for people sheltering at home so they wouldn't have to move their cars. the city confirms that starting today parking violations will be handed out to those cars that are in the way. so if you have a car parked outside, and today is the day to move it, make sure you get out there and move it this morning. 6:09 for you right now. let's take a look at the forecast today. kari, it's a warm-up from this weekend today. yes, still a really nice day as we take a live look outside in dublin. we are waking up to a clear sunrise, clear skies for today, as we go into our temperature trend we'll see it going from the upper 50s at 8:00 to the mid-70s. so it's still going to be nice for those outdoor activities, a few spots reaching the low 80s. santa rosa and concord today reaching 83 while san jose will reach the upper 70s. for san francisco we're staying in the 60s today but we'll all

feel a warm-up as the week goes on. i'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. mike, you're watching the commute. how is it looking right now? it's looking regular as far as the build. the pattern, for example, we see the slowing. no metering lights just yet. let's take a look out there and we see the backup as it starts the approach to the toll plaza and the fastrak lanes and cash lanes. we're still using the old definition. we're showing a smooth flow of traffic as well on the contra costa drive. the arrow shows you slowing toward treasure island not so much but then down the incline signals they'll probably turn the metering lights on. the rest of the bay is green pretty much. back to you. thanks so much, mike. 6:10 right now. up next on "today in the bay" this monday morning, east bay-based 24-hour fitness closing dozens of gyms, laying off hundreds of workers worldwide. up next the branches that will never reopen again here in the

bay area. the stock markets are up, the stock markets are down. back up, back down. kangaroo market, they're callin. we'll tell you why coming up. ♪ i'm a barbie girl in a barbie world ♪ >> what about quarantine barbie? the makeover one california woman is giving the doll to amuse her grandchildren. it is a must see. you're watching "today in the bay."

right now 6:13 let's head over to concord to check out our temperatures. it's a cool start to the day and we're going to have another really nice one with some seasonable high temperatures reaching into the upper 70s and low 80s. we'll talk about a warm-up by the end of the week. that's coming up in the forecast. and, kari, we're just warming up in the morning commute. take to you where it's not green, the altamont pass and mild slowing for west 580 off the 205. the arrows through livermore, look at that, very little slowing. and a very good monday morning to you. we're going to see more down arrows on wall street, and that's because of a miscalculation that investors

seem to have made thinking that the good of reopening stores and restaurants would outweigh the bad of spreading the virus as we see an increase in the number os morning, remember, at one point a fe pandemic. the dow will start at 25 nrn,60t could take a 500-point hit off the top. you've heard of bull markets, bear markets, somebody on cnbc called this a kangaroo market, bouncing all around. there's a lot of debate as to whether the $600 extra money that people are getting in their unemployment checks should continue. right now they're set to end in july and it does not look like congress is going to extend them. the debate does the extra money keep poem at home by discouraging them from working. the president's top financial adviser says yes. >> we are not going to remove unemployment benefits. that would still continue and

there will be some return to work benefit. it won't be quite as substantial. this is a turning point in the economy. besides the great jobs numbers, you've had a lot of positive green indicators, jake. we don't want to interrupt that. >> larry kudlow on jake tapper's show. we talked about movie theaters reopening. there will likely be no summer blockbusters. movie studios have decided to move two of the summer's biggest movies to the fall at the earliest including one from christopher nolan and "wonderwoman 1984." we've talked about this before. the movie theaters are open but very few people seem willing to go and they're limited in the number of people they can have in the theater to begin with, so why would movie studios want to show their best stuff? and if you're not showing your best stuff why would i want to go to the movie theater? it's a circular argument and is a big problem.

>> a lot of re-inventing because they spent so much money on making these movies and then if you don't get a lot of people watching them certainly not going to get that return back at all. >> exactly. >> i miss those movies. a lot of i'm will be missing the gym because, just in, san ramone-based 24-hour fitness has confirmed it is filing for bankruptcy. this comes after the company over the weekend announced the closure of about a fourth of its locations globally. here are the bay area locations that will not reopen. alamo express, capitol and mckee in san jose, milpitas active, walnut creek ygnacio center, alemany sport, fremont sport, noe valley fitlite, berkeley solano avenue fitlite, and in san francisco market street and north point. something good from a southern

her idea is now going viral. it's a little twist that she put on the bashar al assrbie doll. >> it's a quarantine barbie. tonya ruiz started posting barbie parodies of what barbie could be doing during the quarantine like barbie baking bread. she's all covered in flour. you see here this is the one of the barbie working in a hospital. you can visit her instagram page to see all of those creations. she actually did this for her grandchildren. i think it's really cool. you see barbie covered in all the flour with the bread. i think that might be a mom barbie. someon store and you see nurse or doctor barbie right there. i think that's dr. barbie. >> mom barbie has a lot going on. >> mom barbie does it all for sure. >> she does. she tries to hold it together. >> model it after the two moms

on the screen i know they're doing a lot because you two do a lot. i hear the stories. >> and we're just trying to hold it together, right, kari? yep, absolutely. and so as we start out this morning, i'll be home schooling today while working, and so we're going to get some time outside today to enjoy this beautiful weather as we get a san jose as the sun comes up we're starting out with a very nice monday morning. looking at our temperature trend we're going from 62 degrees at 8:00 to the mid-70s today. and normal is about 79 degrees. i think we'll hit that high temperature. if you're going to be out there, there's still going to be a moderate amount of tree pollen as we look at our pollen count, everything else is fairly low. the top allergens, juniper and olive trees are still putting a lot of that pollen in the air. and we're also going to have some comfortable temperatures for today kind of the same weather we had from yesterday.

it won't be as windy. up to 80 in napa. oakland, 72 degrees. 79 in san jose. san francisco will reach into the upper 60s and then as we look at this forecast we are going to see high pressure building. that's going to influence our weather. the wind around that high pressure clockwise so we'll start to have more of a northerly wind and that's going to cause those temperatures to go up as it dries out and we'll have to watch out for the possibility of those wildfires especially with the very dry vegetation and those hot temperatures. we're monot going to see much oa change going into the weekend. upper 80s by wednesday. thursday our temperatures peak in the low 90s and we're still in the upper 80s and low 90s extending into the rest of the week as we officially welcome in summer. and, mike, you've been watching the roads. how is it looking for the

commute right now? a lighter flow just as we saw a build a few weeks ago easing up right now as we look at your live shot. you will notice the backups. we see still movement for some of these lanes and that's great news. the fastrak marked lanes. no major issues getting over in toward the area, contra costa county, the top of your screen, slowing over to the highway. we'll check to make sure there are no incidents. there's an unusual pattern there. the rest of the bay a very light pattern. b.a.r.t. and cal train are showing more increasing service, new stations for b.a.r.t. we have the richmond ferry back. more service for vallejo. golden gate transit did reduce service due to lower ridership once again. back to you. >> thanks, mike. thank you, mike.

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live for us at the valley fair mall in san jose to tell us all about those changes. we will notice as soon as we step through the doors, kris. >> reporter: it looks pretty much the same as it does always here in santa clara. san jose is right on the border. as you walk through the doors, if you choose to do that at 11:00 this morning, things will look pretty different on the inside not just here but at several other malls around the bay area.

the food court will be open, however, you will not be able a purchases with your friend you will have to get it to go because there will be no gathering in places like that. at 8:00 this morning the mall says we are going to be allowed in to see some of the changes. if you want to see them before the midday news follow me on twitter and facebook and i'll give you an inside look. >> kris, a lot of people excited about the reopening. just follow the rules. thanks, kris. it's possible more east bay churches will start to reopen this week. contra costa county officially lifting some of the restrictions on religious gatherings. a handful of northern california churches have defied county orders and already conducted services. the vast majority have stillin- services over the concern of the spread of covid-19. it's 6:35. new this morning a development on a viral video that some are calling racially charged after a

ridership will be like today because it's not a normal weekday commute. there haven't been that many riders so far because of the covid-19 shelter in place and ridership has been down about 90% due to the pandemic. what's this going to do for your commute? >> makes it a lot easier. i was commuting to warm springs and then before that i was commute to ing to free montmont. five miles. >> reporter: you get to sleep in? >> yes. >> reporter: how much? >> extra half hour, 45 more re before you get in with the longer ride. >> reporter: this station extension to san jose cost $2.3 billion, took 20 years to plan, raised money for and build. the next phase which is years away will extend bart into downtown san jose and santa clara. cal train is running more trains. starting today cal train weekdap
