>> it is pretty remark tbl the president is going out of his way to say he hasn't heard anything about it. >> reporter: russia denies they paid militias linked to the taliban to hunt down and kill american soldiers. now president trump is tweeting that this didn't reach him because he didn't know about it because the intelligence community couldn't verify the information. they didn't think it was credible. the white house still trying to verify if the bounty was ever paid and new this morning we have confirmed that lawmakers are getting a briefing about this some time later today. back to you. >> all right, tracie potts, thanks so much. new overnight four gunmen are dead after an attack on the pakistani stock exchange. it killed at least two people. it happened early this morning in the capital city of karachi. police say the attackers used grenades and heavy firearms and

opportunity. nobody wants to be locked up again. >> police came by yesterday, although so far the bartender has not decided to press any charges. in a similar incident at a san jose yogurt shop police say that a woman coughed on a toddler in a stroller. since then the oak grove school district has identified the woman in that incident as one of its employees and says an investigation is ongoing. happening today the accused golden state killer is expected to enter a guilty play at an unprecedented venue. prosecutors have used dna evidence to tie 74-year-old joseph deangelo to 12 murders and at least 45 rapes and more than 120 burglaries. the crimes happened acr1970s ans and included up to a dozen attacks in three bay area counties. deangelo will appear today

winds calmed down later this evening as that red flag warning will be allowed to expire. we'll be watching out for those conditions today. mike, you've been watching the roads. any new issues popping up? >> we have a little bit of slowing out of the altamont and now it's moving over to 84 and that's not a surprise but it is what some would call a vacation week with the fourth of july going on saturday. we do see a smooth drive, though. the blip at the bottom is concerning me. 85 north, the 101 north coming off 85 and i'll check on that again. nothing that's been reported. what has been reported is construction southbound 880 around 16th and also a fender bend earp juer just before jack more my concern. a live look shows you there are no problems as we take a look. the bridge has had no problems for travel times and a live look shows you the volume of traffic is quite manageable. back to you. thank you very much. 5:09. despite cases spiking across the

more degrees from here. we'll talk about what's ahead with the wide range in temperatures and the fire danger up next. and a live look outside shows you the san mateo bridge also moving very smoothly. as we take a look out the taillights away from us traveling to the peninsula, there are no problems but the volume is starting to pick up a bit over the last few minutes. we'll track that and an update for what i found in the south bay. well, good morning and a very happy monday to you as well. a new electric pickup truck goes on sale a little bit more than two hours from now. it is called the badger and it's from a company called nikola. here is a closer look at it. it's more like a traditional pickup truck than tesla's cyber truck. reservations as low as $250 and they are refundable. that's important because we haven't even seen a prototype in real life. they have yet to build a factory or contract out the work.

nikola, the company, has done very well on the stock market with this idea. you may have guessed where they got their name, from the inventor nikola tesla. the stock markets looking to open to the positive despite all the evidence we have badly botched controlling coronavirus. health secretary czar warning we are on the edge of completely being out of control. you saw how hard stocks got hit on friday. facebook's price there, facebook moving lower, that has the ceo's attention. >> the 2020 elections were already shaping up to be incredibly heated and that was before we faced the additional complexities of a global pandemic and protests for racial injustice across the country. >> mark zuckerberg stepping in with new rules to control false and violent posts made by politicians on his social

network. this comes after company after company said no more ads on facebook. for some no more ads on social media in the near term at all. now we used to add company logos, companies that were boycotting facebook. the board got too crowded so we took them off. the latest are levi's, starbucks, coca-cola and the food giant unilever. we started with fairly small companies like rei and now up to the starbucks and coca-cola. >> people taking a stance. >> big names there. thank you very much. well, 5:16 right now. new this morning american and united airlines are warning travelers they're going back to full flights despite the surge in covid cases. american airlines will require passengers to declare they are free of symptoms during check-in. if passengers don't feel comfortable on a packed flight, they can switch flights at no extra cost. by the way, all airlines do

require you wear a mask. something good this morning if you are an x-men fan. >> for the as far as of the original, it's more of an excuse me courtesy of actor ryan reynolds who crashed a star-studded videoconference. take a look. >> i hope it's okay if i join. i figured we were all in x-men together. >> x-men origins. >> he surprised everyone during a 20-year anniversary for the original x-men movie. this happened saturday night during a global benefit concert. reynolds first debuted in the wolverine movie in 2009, but in the videoconference other x-men alum soon joined him from what are now ten films in the x-men franchise. i love each and every one of them. >> do you? you're a fan of them? i like ryan reynolds.

>> i love to see when their powers come into play. that's always an interesting thing. >> i wonder which one is kari hall's favorite. >> i have no idea. >> we're picking for you. storm. >> okay, thank you. i don't know any of the names. let's check out the forecast as we get a live look outside at the bay bridge, we are starting out with no fog here and we are also going to see a little bit more sunshine in the city as we see our temperatures right now in the upper 40s in the tri-valley. we have some upper 50s in concord. now where we are seeing the higher winds -- heading over to livermore we look at the high temperatures today. yeah, for some of us it will be hot, reaching 90 degrees in concord and antioch as well as ukiah today. for santa rosa we're reaching up to 88 degrees.

oakland will be in the upper 70s. some low 80s for parts of the south bay and the peninsula. going through the forecast the main concern will be that high fire danger and elevations above 1,000 feet in parts of the north bay. the high fire danger today and winds gusting up to 50 miles per hour. we're looking at still no changes in our weather pattern. we're getting now still an offshore wind flow. we'll get some cooler air coming in for the rest of the week. as we look at our seven-day forecast today the warmest day by far as we'll start to cool down at least over the next several days. as we get closer to the fourth of july it's going to heat back up once again to the mid-80s but

no extreme heat here at least for this week. mike, you've been watching the morning commute. how is it looking right now? it's pretty calm, kari. the south bay has had a couple of confusing blips on there. let me just show you. we look at the map, green, pretty much everywhere except for your usual suspects where we talked about that slowing i saw from north 101. no incidents either but that slowing continues to kind of move around. it looked like it may be starting to clear up so there might be a couple of vehicles moving through the area, larger ones moving slower. you notice 87 right where it says san jose down at the bottom of the screen we saw a little bit of slowing there. traffic is very light. even a couple slower moving vehicles that will skew the data. we'll track that and we track the build out of the alat this month. the crash is on the shoulder slowing there as well as out of livermore and sunol.

a smooth drive here as traffic flows nicely. the b.a.r.t. incident there, i will take it off the map because i said it was oakland civic center. i'm thinking oakland city center but it is civic center in san francisco where marcus said you have paperless. you have to get a clipper card. they continue to make the experien experience more and more touchless. back to you both. >> thanks, mike. >> thanks, mike. it's 5:21. we are following a historic vote in the deep south. the big change coming to one flag that's sparking a lot of reaction this morning. this is over the weekend. practicing social distancing, of

i do motivational speaking in addition to the substitute teaching. i honestly feel that that's my calling-- to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. i've been taking prevagen for about three years now. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

current flag to be retired within 15 days and a new redesigned approval by voters. it won't become law until the governor, tate reeves, signs it which he already says he will do. new for you that morning we're learning from home and a new normal for some of you now. nearly a third of students don't have the tools to keep up with their studies. about 16 million students don't have the basic internet services, computers, or even devices they need to attend online schools. it's not just students. >> nearly 400,000 teachers in this country, about 10% of our teachers in public schools devices and untry, do not have connectivity to teach correctl . coming up on the "today" show, how much it will cost to get those students and teachers

recommendations for santa clara and contra costa counties as well. bob redell joins us to talk more about this. already in santa clara county they shouldn't be open. >> reporter: bars were supposed to be opening up in walnut creek and other parts of the county but it's our understanding the county will hold off and the same in santa clara county. they didn't have a reopening date. cases have spiked throughout the state. bars have been ordered to shut down. here in contra costa county hospitalizations have increased 42% and the number of cases has also increased and not just because of increased testing, the health department believes it's a sign of increased community spread. that's why contra costa county supervisors will honor the governor's recommendation to keep bars closed.

bars are often crowded, most are indoors, and after drinking people are more likely to lose their inhibitions and take off their masks. >> usually the virus travels on the droplets that fall within three feet but when people are shouting screaming or even singing you give them superpowers so they can fly further. >> reporter: in san francisco businesses like hair salons, museums and the zoo were supposed to be allowed to open today. the mayor of san francisco delayed the reopening after that city recorded 103 new covid-19 cases the day before. reporting live here in walnut creek, bob redell, "today in the bay." despite a spike in cases marin county moving forward with

chp said a pedestrian had been shot in the face. no update on their condition or where the gunfire came from. july 4th less than a week away. while most are illegal in the bay area, cities like salinas are counting on fireworks to raise money. you may have seen the stands already. fireworks sales are an important fund-raising for schools, charities, even sports. some people we talked to say fireworks are an easy way for families who are stuck at home right now to let off some steam. >> it's such a small thing that we can do and really just, you and invest in our communities. that feels good. it's definitely a bonus to everything else. knowing that we do spend a little bit more. >> make sure you are safe. fire officials are warning people to be careful with their fireworks even if they are

considered safe. the fire danger is high. two legends with the same name are mistaken for each other during the b.e.t. awards. they honored people who have died in the past year but showed this picture of willie brown. they meant to show the picture here, oakland raiders hall of famer willie brown who died back in october. the mistake was quickly fixed for the replay. while we missed the raiders legend. at 86 mayor willie brown is alive and well. today the national park service is reopening muir woods, the hiking spot will have visitors back in beginning at 9:00 this morning. face coverings are not required but encouraged. park tours are canceled just like before the pandemic you'll still need a reservation to park. the parking lot will be capped at 50% capacity. helping to reduce some of those

crowds. so that would be lovely to go there. and, marcus, the weather was good enough to get you out the door and you did some hiking, i understand. >> i did five miles. i didn't do a hike since i don't know when. i'm telling you this morning hips -- >> they don't lie. >> they don't lie, they're screaming. one of our producers was saying why are you walking so slow? i'm hurting. >> a little hitch in your giddyup. >> i'm getting back in the swing of things thanks to kari's beautiful forecast, of course. >> i'm glad you had a good hike out there. nice weather for parts of the bay area. the high winds in our upper elevations. we check out what's happening in

the east bay in walnut creek. we'll see the temperatures in the mid-50s to start out this morning and by noon in the upper 70s. it will continue to heat up as we get ready for some spots to reach into the low 90s. we'll see that in parts of the inland east bay as well as the north bay. san jose will only reach 81 degrees and low 70s in san francisco. we'll talk more about the high winds and also that red flag warning. what's the update? >> we're talking about the south bay. we talked about that volume getting ready to build and we do see it starting to build. it's a couple minutes late and i'll tell you why. normally we would see traffic tap their brakes here. you see that over the top of the screen. the map shows you that's where the arrow is and where we will see a build over the next few minutes.

there was a crash blocking a couple lanes. they have major injuries but that will send a burst of traffic and it may cause some folks to take 85 temporarily. you don't need to take the reroute. everything should recover quickly. the rest of the bay standard, no major problems, no issues as far as any surprises. we'll talk about the slow spots coming up. closing down what one southern california restaurant says its customers are not doing during the pandemic that's forcing it to shut its doors again. indeed. i think i might have a related story because vice president pence is wearing a mask and he's telling other people, wear a mask. ♪ i woke up like this flawless ♪ >> the beehives rejoicing this morning. the disney classic inspiring beyonce's new upcoming

and so while we're on the lookout for that we're watching out for any major changes in the roadways not just yet. the approach to the area shows a smooth flow of traffic coming into our area. things are improving. >> the man accused of crashing his car into a group of people and then shooting others in northern california. sheriff's investigators say that suspect was fired last year from the same center. authorities say that lane crashed his car into that building and then opened fire. they say he killed one man before officers shot and killed him.

firefighters believe a candle may have sparked a fire in san leandro. this is near farnsworth street. the people made it out safely but sadly one of the family's dogs did not survive. >> bay area charter schools received at least $40 million from the federal coronavirus relief program. they investigated the money after being tipped off parents united for public schools and in the public interest. "the chronicle" found 14 chains and eight in santa clara county received about $40 million combined. some are wondering if the schools should have even received that funding which is meant to help keep small businesses afloat during the

pandemic. the plans to put more officers on foot patrol are being put on hold, "the examiner" is reporting supervisors were hoping to get voting approved. but as police departments here and across the country are examining policing supervisors are putting pause on that ballot measure. president trump will meet to discuss pulling troops out of germany. >> many are against this idea. many people in germany are against it as well. we rather suspect they are all for it. mark esper will discuss the president's plan to remove the troops in germany. the president says it's retribution for not paying its fair share to nato. germany does not reach its

minimum on defense spending but is not behind. that sort of thing doesn't exist and down playing a report confirmed by "the washington post" that the russian intelligence is paying a bounty on the deaths of coalition troops. president trump says he never saw those reports and they were unfounded. they were never briefed. vice president pence was in hard-hit texas over the weekend where he urged texans to wear a mask as they deal with infections higher than our worst days under shelter. >> as we think about the challenges, the loss of more than 125,000 of our countrymen, the grief of those families, we think of those still struggling with this disease today. >> the vice president's speech

was at a church where a large choir sang. choirs have been linked to several severe outbreaks. masks are a turnaround for the trump administration and significant for pence sp specifically who was the only person in the whole building not to wear a mask to the mayo clinic though he was asked to wear a mask. we are definitely hearing a much more serious tone out of the administration. on "meet the press" they said we are on the cusp of a situation we will not be able to get the pandemic under control at all. we're watching everything that's happening in washington. you can find me on twitter @scottmcgrew. >> thank you very much, scott. it's 5:48 right now. one southern california restaurant has had it with people not complying, not wearing their mask. they are going to close down. hugo's tacos has two locations. both are closed after dealing
