and r make this as safe as possible. during an event yesterday the trump administration did not offer up any suggestions for concrete policies to do that, and they also did not offer any extra funding for things like maybe providing extra school buses so that kids can be spaced out farther apart from each other there as well as in the classroom or potentially handing out masks to students. so no new funding at this point but plenty of pressure. >> we're very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools, to get them open. >> reporter: and there are medical experts speaking out already on this topic saying that communities need to be focused on getting the virus under control in their areas before they can think too seriously about reopening schools. while there is research showing children are less likely to get the virus and less likely to get seriously ill if they do get it,

good wednesday morning. right now at 6:14 let's check out our temperature trend in danville. we'll start out with some 70s at 10:00, and it's going to warm up fast today. we're looking at some upper 80s in some spots. we'll reach the low 90s. get out there early. we'll talk about what's ahead and the smoke you're seeing to the south bay coming up in a few minutes. we're at the toll plaza, to the north, the bay bridge, the backup. brakes tapping, folks a little bit of a wait. how things are developing coming up. good morning and very happy wednesday to you. facebook is not going to have a very good day today. not only did its meeting with civil rights activists not work out early word of a report that it economies ecommissioned on i. a preliminary draft obtained by "the new york times," nbc has not seen it.

"the times" says the civil rights repor approach to civil rights remains too reactive and piecemeal and says when ceo mark zuckerberg allows people like donald trump to make threats through his posts, the company is elevating the president's speech while kre censoring others. it says facebook risks an echo chamber of extremism. facebook's mark zuckerberg and sheryl sandberg met with civil rights activists yesterday to discuss that advertising boycott. it's been very effective. activists say they were disappointed in the meeting. in a conference call after the meeting rashad robinson, head of color of change, said, quote, facebook showed up to the meeting expecting an "a" for attendance. attendance alone is not enough. robinson will also speak on the "today" show coming up at 7:00.

>> what's going to continue to happen unless facebook fixes things is corporations are going to put up ads and they're going to show up next to white nationalists and white supremacist organizations and groups that are calling for a second civil war, who are saying some of their most hateful and egregious things. >> you can see more on the "today" show coming up at 7:00. a quick check of the markets, mildly higher. the futures call the best that investors place after a pretty solid drubbing yesterday as we were talking about earlier. one day the markets think the economy is reopening so up they go. the next day they realize that, wow, you were reporting the new case numbers. the economy is suffering and down the markets go. >> i think we've gotten used to a little whiplash. >> roller coaster. >> indeed. thank you very much, scott. entertainment, the largest movie chain is nearing a restructuring deal to avoid a bankruptcy filing.

amc has seen profits crash because it had to shut down more than 1,000 theaters worldwide because of the pandemic. the movie chain warned last month that it could report a quarterly loss of nearly $2.5 billion. amc's u.s. theaters are scheduled to reopen july 30th depending on local ordinances, of course. also, trending this morning vanessa bryant is reminiscing on a sweet gift from her late husband kobe bryant. on monday she posted a picture of a green dress. the iconic dress was worn by sarah jessica parker's character in "sex and the city." she was taken back by emotion and kobe is still showing his love from heaven. that dress is gorgeous. such a thoughtful move. >> a really sweet thing that she came across it probably when she needed it. these things happen. kari, we are looking at the gorgeous sunrise behind you, i

would say even prettier than bradshaw's dress. >> how about the tulle fog. >> ooh! here we are seeing it rolling over the hills as we look at sausalito this morning. it is a beautiful sunrise. this is helping keep some of our coastal areas a lot cooler. then you head down to the south bay. it's going to be warmer this afternoon. let's check out our temperature trend. we'll see our temperatures in the low 60s here at 8:00, and then as we go through the day we'll warm up into the upper 80s. normal is about 81 degrees. we're going a little bit above that today. you'll notice it will be hotter today compared to yesterday but we're looking at the wind direction and wind speed. that has a huge difference in our air quality because we do still have the crews fire smoldering down there to the east of gilroy. and if the wind shifts, brings

it in from the south, it could push some of the smoke into the south bay as well as the south county. right now we're locking at a northwesterly wind which tends to be drier and as it picks up later today our wind speeds will be at about 15 to 20 miles per hour in some areas. and then that will also help push that smoke off towards the south and east. so we're looking at temperatures today that will reach into the upper 80s for the inland east bay and a few low 90s as well with some upper 80s in parts of the north bay while the coastal areas stay cool. we are going to stay in this weather pattern but a little bit closer as we go into the rest of today. i did not say siri. let's check out what's going on with our forecast. our temperatures in the low 90s, and up to the mid-90s by the end of the weekend. early next week our temperatures in the upper 80s. and then for san francisco, it stays cool here. our natural air conditioning

the course of a few hours. and it won't stop heating up from there. we'll see our high temperatures reaching into the low 90s. we're going to have some hot days as we go into the end of the week as well. i'll have more on that in a few minutes. mike, what's the update on the morning commute? kari, status quo out there. there are changes but we'll look at the bay bridge toll plaza. the metering lights are still on. the backups fill the screen. no surprises as we get to the maps and a slower drive developing at the incline but not into contra costa county or for the rest of the bay. right back to you, cierra. fireworks are believed to have started a small fire in livermore. this is brand-new video just in to our newsroom. the fire broke out around 2:30. the chp tells our photographer on scene that illegal fireworks. it burned about two acres before

being contained. fireworks started dozens of fires across the bay area since the fourth of july holiday. all new from overnight fire crews are making huge progress against the crews fire burning near gilroy. it's now 50% contained. the fire started sunday and has burned 5,400 acres. some evacuations and closures remain in place. amid the pandemic more parents in the bay area are getting somewhat of an idea of what school might look like for the kids in the fall and what their work life and family life may look like, too. bob redell joins us live. some districts already deciding to keep the kids home outright. the president saying he's putting on pressure for schools to open now. >> reporter: brentwood unified, for example, this week has decided that all 9,500 of their k-8 students will be taught 100% online starting july 28th which is their normal start time for

the fall with the option, and they're prepped to do this, to move to a hybrid model if the coronavirus cases were to decline and the health department says, hey, everything is safe and you can do that. right now their plans 100% online. in the south bay san jose's alum rock school district announced 90% will continue with distance learning. the remaining 10% will come to class. the district will decide who fits that 10% criteria based on homelessness, foster care and disability. san jose will continue online learning for the majority of its students. >> we just felt we needed to lower the anxiety of our staff, students and families so they know what the plan is. it doesn't mean that we won't adjust for in person but people know how we're going to start the school year. >> reporter: "the chronicle" is

reporting most san francisco unified students will be learning from home in the fall in part because of a lack of money for custodians, nurses, soap and hand sanitizer. a final decision expected by the end of the month. berkeley unified will update parents and students on its plan. considering a hybrid model. later this afternoon oakland unified teacher, staff and parents will start a car caravan, a rally, a protest to get the word out they do not want the district to reopen school sites in the fall. they don't want the kids back on campus, and they're demanding free testing to stop the spread of covid-19. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." the numbers keep growing in the state. currently nearly 284,000 confirmed cases including more than 6,500 deaths. in the bay area anotherly 30,000 cases and 617 deaths recorded. and the wait is over for folks in the bay area's biggest

county. numerous businesses in santa clara county now getting the blessing from the state to reopen with certain covid-19 restrictions. "today in the bay's" thom jensen is live in mountain view where hair salons, gyms and hotels are green lighted for reopening on monday. thom? >> reporter: good morning. yes, this ends several days of discussion between the state and the county about what is allowed and what's not allowed surrounding those businesses and over the weekend the county -- the state gave santa clara county their blessing to reopen those businesses, hair salons, nail salons, child care facilities, gyms, reopening on july 13th. it caught officials by surprise when the state told them last week they could not open the salons and other industries. they scrambled to put together a reopening plan the state could agree with. breathing a collective sigh of relief and hoping there are no more setbacks.

>> until i have customers in my salon and we're actually having customers that's when it's official, it's the real deal. >> reporter: closing strets here in mountain view, palo alto and other communities to make room for more dining outdoor tables is one solution, one of the things that caused some of the friction with the state. state health officials say santa clara county will not likely be allowed to resume indoor dining at restaurants for some time now. the excitement today and through the rest of the week the salons, the gyms, the child care facilities reopening on monday. we're live in mountain view, thom jensen, "today in the bay." >> thank you. and new this morning we're learning that more than 75% of californians are concerned about themselves or a family member catching covid-19. that's according to a new poll from the california health care foundation and 78% of those

surveyed say they wear a mask when they're in a public place, so that's good news there. >> that is good news. supervisors plan to hold an emergency meeting tomorrow to talk about that surge of covid-19 cases in el dorado because tourists are showing up but not following mask and social distancing recommendations in the tahoe region. no word yet whether big crowds over the holiday weekend will cause an even bigger spike in cases, but we know they have limited hospital capacity because they're just a vacation town. if you don't need to go, maybe don't go. we check in with meteorologist kari hall to see how we can enjoy our weather here at home and not wander all around. yeah, we can make a short drive and change our weather drastically across the bay area. we've been monitoring what's going on with the crews fire as we look from the santa cruz mountains over to gilroy. and you can see a small layer of fog, a shallow layer of fog, has settled into the south bay.

so our humidity is higher. so w. not much of a wind and cooler temperatures this morning. we have 50% containment right now and hopefully getting a little bit more thanks to some favorable weather conditions. and then looking at our wind speeds for today, the wind direction makes all the difference in where that smoke drifts into parts of the south bay as well as the rest of the bay area. as of right now it's pushing the smoke away and it will get a little bit more breezy. it will be a drier wind as we go into the rest of today. we're monitoring those conditions. mike, how is it looking as drivers get ready to head out the door? it's looking great, kari. we're looking at the maps and see green sensors all over the bay, out of the altamont, traditional slowing over there, and also at the toll plaza. we'll look at the travel times getting over there. we have a little more slowing so the number 17 at the top is your east shore freeway from berkeley. a live look shows you all lanes

weighing 300 pounds. they might be hungry. >> reporter: a little more calories, more energy. >> exactly. thank you so much, pete. in sacramento now, cierra -- >> yes, a piece of controversial history is no longer at the state capitol. the christopher columbus statue was removed from the capitol rotunda called columbus' last appeal to queen isabella. isabella financed his voyage to the new world in 14 2 setting off european colonization. it had been there since 1883. and president trump says harvard should be ashamed of itself for holding classes online. >> scott mcgrew, the president says he wants schools open, just tweeting about it this morning once again saying schools that don't open should lose funding. i was just reading the same

tweet. good morning to you. saying this is the president talking, that he disagrees with the as to whether schools should open and how and that he's going to meet with the cdc over their rules about schools opening. now schools opening ultimately is a local decision, though president trump can certainly get involved with withholding federal funding from our children. local control of education used to be a very important matter to president trump, but apparently no longer. >> so we're very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools, to get them open, and it's very important. it's very important for our country. it's very important for the -being of the student the parents, so w pressure on opening schools in the fall. >> now at that meeting as to what to do neither president trump nor the education secretary offered any guidance. do we keep kids six feet apart

in classrooms and cafeterias? they didn't discuss screenings or what happened if a teacher contracts the virus or how to pay for it all. many states are relying on the cdc guidance. you heard what president trump had to say about that. the administration also said states should not, quote, hide behind what the cdc is advertising states to do to keep children safe. we're watching for the supreme court to release more big decisions. one of the biggest is whether a new york prosecutor can demand president trump's business records as he investigates trump businesses. can he demand from a sitting president or does it open the door to prosecutors all over the nation tying up a future president with records requests? in the middle of all of this we're learning chief justice roberts fell and hit briefly hospitalized last month. it happened on a walk. a court spokeswoman says roberts was likely dehydrated at the time. the president of mexico will

be at the white house to celebrate the canada/mexico/u.s. trade deal in a replaced nafta. the pm of canada declined. andres manuel lopez obrador flew commercial in coach -- looks like he got an exit row, though -- even a connection through atlanta. he says he'll get rid of the presidential jet. on twitter we're debating this idea of schools reopening if you cannot safely eat a hamburger inside a restaurant, should you be confident to send your kids to school? talking about it on twitter. you'll find me ther there @scottmcgrew. >> thank you, scott. >> thank you so much. trending this morning the classic movies many people wished they would have seen in theaters. pollsters in england asked people what film they wished they had seen when first released on the big screen. the horror classic "the shining" came in number three. number two was "star wars." number one was "jaws." i thought "jaws" was the most

terrifying movie of all time. >> that one i might be able to sit through. the special effects, my kids are like, what is that a puppet? >> would you watch "jaws" while at the beach in the water, on a projector. >> i did watch it on a cruise once. >> not enough popcorn, kari. not enough popcorn in the world for that. >> yeah, right. what are we watching this weekend? we'll have to dig out the classic movies and see what's going on. here is a live look out there as we look from highland peak over to the tri-valley. it is such a beautiful start to the day, but we know in spots like the tri-valley it will be hot, even a little bit hotter than yesterday. and then as we head over to san francisco, we keep that natural air conditioning. but that ocean breeze will not make it all the way to the valleys. we are going to have a day in parts of the east bay where you want to get out early, if you're going out for a run in martinez.

it looks like those temperatures will start out in the low 60s. and i'd say the next couple of hours are the best time frame. after that it's going to start to warm up. at 1:00 we're at 84 degrees heading to the 90s today. so that air conditioner will be on full blast. looking at ukiah, 93 degrees. oakland will be in the mid-70s today and some upper 60s again in san francisco while san jose will reach up to about 86 degrees. so what's happening here, high pressure is nudging in a little bit closer. we're not getting a strong enough ocean breeze to cool us off in the valleys. no major changes over the next where we have full micro clim areas stay cool while the valleys will reach into the 90s. this weather on repeat the next seven days. we check out san francisco. mostly some upper 60s here. a breezy wind.

at times the fog will get closer but we're not seeing that today. mike, you've been keeping an eye on the commute. looks like it's all clear as drivers head out around sunrise. i was eyeing that popcorn. it's lightening up in livermore. highway 84 no longer shows a slowing. we do have a build, 880 out of hayward and then also toward union city. a little blip should ease up. a live look, there are sensors starting to show more orange again. there is brake tapping. getting to the peninsula no problems for 92. a backup to the bay bridge. johnny deb and his wife in a

second day of trial over his libel's case. depp is suing that called him wife beater right in the headlines. the newspaper's lawyers plan to use heard's allegations of abuse by depp to defend that wife beater claim. the couple was married for two years before they divorced and now bitterly accuse one another of abuse. next a quick look at the top stories. what the grieving family of a man shot and killed by vallejo police during the lootings will be able to see this morning. and all new this morning a car smashes through a fremont bookstore. what the shop owner told us happened. you're watching "today in the bay."

his cousin is now talking about that terrifying call she got from 15-year-old jack that night. >> dad's been shot. i think he's dead. i have no idea where i am, i'm lost in the forest. there's a shooter. i'm scared and i don't think i'm going to make it out of here alive. >> the 15-year-old son was found 30 hours later. he was safe. he says the suspected killer was a total stranger to him and his dad who pulled up behind their av and started shooting. a go fund me site so far has raised more than $300,000. happening today the vallejo police chief is allowing the family of a man shot and killed by officers during the lootings to watch body camera video. you might recall 22-year-old sean monterrosa of san francisco was shot in early june as the nation was reeling from the george floyd murder.

officers say they tried to arrest him during the looting of a walgreens store. they thought he was pulling out a gun. it turned out to be a hammer. the family has been asking for footage of the body camera footage. a look at the forecast because we know you might want to go outside, take the dog out. kari, you're saying do it early. yes, it's going to be a warm afternoon. this weather is on repeat so no major changes. at least we do have our natural air conditioning in san francisco as we stay in the 60s. mike, how is the commute? >> the same. no major changes. at the bay bridge toll plaza metering lights are on. there's movement. we'll take movement. more cars coming through berkeley heading down to the bay bridge and the berkeley curve. no problems there. just a little slowing. a reminder as we come back i'll
