dined outside now dining on stretches of university starting on july 3rd just as california avenue has been shutting down between el camino real to birch street. california avenue is closed every day through july 5th, although that could be expanded depending on how it's received and it is received pretty well here. the town council will consider closing some of its streets, as well p. it will take that vote some time after 10:00. in oakland the city is also clearing red tape through its flex street program. it waives all fees and streamlines the process for permitting and restaurants that want to serve diners on restaurant and walking lanes. all communities offering up outdoor dining have social distancing and mask rules in place so when you are out and about, make sure that you cover up. now, outdoor dining is allowed in all of our bay area communities and counties at this point, but local communities are trying to figure out how it is

they're dpoeg going to make tha happen. my family have not ventured out just yet still doing take out and dining elfresco. i people have been saying they have been having pretty positive experiences. >> i have been staying at home, too. >> exactly. i asked, as well, because i went out and i haven't been doing any take out just strictly cooking at home and i went out to the palm and it was a little surr l surreal. so beautiful and amazing seeing all the people out, but, also, you know, the temperature checks that they do and all the masks that you wear and everything, i felt very protected and safe. but it was a little surreal, honestly. >> yeah, that's what a lot of people have been saying. it feels surreal and also feels a little bit normal and that's what a lot of people have been looking forward to. listen, if they have to socially distance you in the restaurants, then you can feel more comfortable and might be better than going to the grocery store where you're bumping into

people. i just did that yesterday. >> laura, you said they took your temperature at the restaurant before you went in? >> yep. i didn't go in. all fresca dining. i mean, new changes. things to get used to. it was such a treat, too. i didn't have to cook that night. a lot of people are responding and saying i'm not going out with the raising rates right now. thanks a lot. >> i'm not ready yet. >> i get it. all right. thank you very much. 6:47 right now. also in today's news, we're talking aboutt the democratic convention. joe biden still scheduled to accept the party nomination but will move from a large arena to a smaller convention center. delegates will cast their votes, including on the presidential nominee remotely. just in this morning, nearly

1.5 million americans filed first-time unemployment benefits. that's higher than estimates. this is the 12th straight weekly drop since they hit their peak this was near the beginning of the pandemic. 19.5 million americans are continuing to file their claims. experts say hiring is not rebounding as quickly as they had hoped even though most of the country is starting to reopen. it's 6:48 right now. for years, president trump touted the economy as his best accomplishment. >> scott mcgrew, he can't do that now. >> no, he certainly can't, obviously, due to coronavirus. that and a lot of dissatisfaction, according to polling with how he is handling the coronavirus pandemic from the white house. take a look at this, this is one of the widest polls we have ever seen. done by the "new york times." as a rule of thumb, a landslide is anything better than a

15-point lead. here you see a 14-point lead by joe biden. now, a word about polls. first as we know, trump did not poll well, but he's now the presidential. national polls don't reflect the way we relect a president. we go state by state. president trump is behind in the key state of wisconsin. he'll make a visit to a ship yard there which just had a contract from the navy. president trump pushing his made in america theme. we're starting to see the effects of that rally in oklahoma, as well, over the weekend. and undisclosed number of secret service agents are now in self-quarantine and an official is using the word doesn't. not all come from washington, the secret service has offices all over the united states because it's part of a federal law enforcement. some of those agents said to have come from texas. we also know now white house advance staff had coronavirus as they came to oklahoma ahead of the president.

the president welcomed the president of poland to the white house. jduda is facing re-election and he's very concerned about president trump's plan to poll u.s. troops from germany. here's our president. >> we're going to be reducing germany very substantially down to about 25,000 troops. we actually had 52,000, but we'll be moving it down to about 25,000. germany is paying a very small fraction of what they're supposed to be paying. >> as we've discussed in the past, while germany has committed to spend a certain percentage of gdp on defense, it doesn't pay nato. it's not behind in payment. after the meeting with the polish president, president trump said he actually would consider moving some of those u.s. troops from germany not back to the united states, but over to poland. we'll be monitoring the president's trip to wisconsin this morning. we'll talk more about it in the midday news and talk about it on twitter, as well. you can find me there
