good morning. it is sunday, august 2nd. here is a look at downtown san jose. a beautiful shot of folks just starting to wake up. i want to thank you for joining us. vianey arana joins us with your microclimate forecast. it's the last day of the week. they want to get out and enjoy themselves today. that's right, and cierra, i don't know if you've heard of the phrase foggest, yesterday was the first of august and faugust is living up to its hype. haze valley, a beautiful there of san francisco. almost. you can see how foggy it is.

now as far as the inland areas go, cloud cover over san jose. 60 degrees there. our current temperatures are cool and comfy. we still have that high pressure and that will remain dominant today, keeping our temperatures warm and seasonable through the afternoon. normal high of 82. it will be five degrees above where we see the temperatures. 90s in inland areas. then heading into the middle of the workweek a change in those temperatures. if you felt a little rumble while you were sleeping you weren't dreaming. a 3.1 magnitude earthquake struck in the east foothills of san jose. the quake hit around 5:40 this morning in the alum rock hills. so far no word of any damage, just plenty of chatter on social media. we'll continue to monitor the situation and bring you the latest information. a day of confusion in san

mateo county ends with disappointment. starting today many businesses will have to find a way to move outside or shut down completely. but for a time it appeared they would be able to have a reprieve. the county of san mateo remains in discussion with the state. and as of august 1st our status on the monitoring list remains the same without additional business closures required. it goes on to assure residents and business owners the county would notify them of any status changes. then the county sent another details message saying they will have to close down. >> this is something as we go on, what i call shelter in place 2.0, something that will cripple our economy. businesses required to move outdoors if possible include gym and fitness centers. hair salons, barber shops and

shopping malls. all nine of them on it. they must try to enforce restrictions and get the numbers under control. santa rita jail is trying to curb the number of inmates and staff. the jail in dublin has 18 cases that are asymptomatic. anyone entering the jail is screened and must sanitize hands before entering. many will be tested. high-risk inmates are being kept away from the general population. now let's take a look at cases in the bay area. we have more than 52,000 cases. santa clara county reported 410 new infections topping 10,000 confirmed cases. health leaders say new infection is because of a backlog of lab

reporting. and statewide similar stories. cases are rising. california with more than 500,000 cases. sadly 9,200 people have died because of the virus. hair salon owners and stylists are pushing back. salons are still unable to open their doors or operate due to rising covid-19 numbers in alameda county. protests of what they say are inconsistent standards and requirements for different industries. these owners and stylists will be reopening their businesses on august 17th with or without consent from the county. >> we are already licensed by the same board that dentists and nurses are licensed by. 75% tested on sanitation. you can't tell me i'm not sanitary already. >> it's self-care, mental health care, it's antidepressant.

>> the sheriff's office says they do not see a need to cite businesses during the planned protest. bay area amazon workers demanding change. they gathered for a car caravan and headed to the warehouse where they say work eers are experiencing dangerous conditions. organizers say the company and state leaders are not listening to reports of unsafe working conditions. >> at the state level they don't feel they're being represented or health with our taxes to protect our health. to hold folks accountable. >> amazon says it has in place many of the protesters' demand. if someone is exposed to covid or has a doctor's note they receive paid leave. they have also doubled the janitorial staff at all facilities. staff with leading democrats

and republicans working on the new coronavirus relief package are set to meet today to work toward a compromise. after more than a three-hour meeting today talks stalled but still leaders called it the most effective meeting yet. this comes a day after millions lost critical unemployment benefits this weekend. >> we have to get rid of this virus so we can open our economy, safely open our schools, and to do so in a way that does not give a cut in benefits to america's workers. >> the president is checking in on an hourly basis to see how we're progressing. >> despite differences both sides say they have pledged to work together on a compromise. stay with us for the complete coverage on the pandemic and how it affects you. we're putting together the latest headlines and updates in one place. head to our website, nbcbayarea.com/coronavirus.

packed and ready for a cross-country move. then in the middle of the night thieves strike. "today in the bay's" roz plater. >> reporter: the purcell family is still reeling after someone stole a 20-foot u-haul truck packed with everything they owned parked right in front of their castro valley home. >> we didn't think anything of it. we've never had issues like that in this neighborhood. >> reporter: the family has lived in castro valley for several years and is now moving to utah to be closer to parents and grandparents during the pandemic. what they want now is just to get back the things that are irreplaceable. >> my blanket from my childhood and also a teddy bear from my childhood in there. now they're all gone. >> reporter: the family has been packing the truck over a couple of days. investigators suspect the thieves may have been watching. the family finished after midnight and went to stay with relatives. investigators say the truck was

found on surveillance video just after 2:00 a.m. on groves way. if you know something, deputies want to hear from you. >> turn the stuff back in. >> reporter: i'm roz plater, nbc bay area news. a historic splashdown for nasa astronauts expected today. just hours ago the crew undocked from the international space station. you can see it undocking right here onboard our nasa astronauts. in may they became the first astronauts to ride in a commercially built spacecraft. in a delicate mission being closely watched. this will be the first splashdown for astronauts in 45 years. >> splashdown is closer than the last time we were asked questions about it. i still don't feel nervous about it. we're focused on things to be as safe as possible as we come back.

>> the capsule is supposed to splash down at noon pacific time. despite the tropical storm, the weather looks favorable. a live conversation with chuck todd with a preview of this week's" meet the press." less than 100 days from election day. so who will joe biden pick as his running mate? we'll tell you when he is expected to make that announcement next.

welcome back. we bring in chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press." hi, chuck. thank you for joining us this morning. with congress deadlocked over the terms of another covid-19 bailout, which side do you see having the upper hand politically, the democrats or republicans? >> democrats have a lot of

leverage because they're unified. the republicans have the white house and the senate, which is controlled by the republicans, they couldn't come to an agreement on what their counterproposal would look like. first the white house started negotiating with mcconnell. they couldn't come up with an agreement. so then the white house started negotiating directly with the democrats. and then the question is will what they come to an agreement, pass the senate with a big enough chunk of republicans? anytime you're in a political negotiation and the other side is divided, you have the upper hand. if they don't come to an important resolution, we could be staring at an economic calamity here. that was with all this government help and now that has

disappeared for right now. maybe it will click back in and they'll come to an agreement in a week. if they don't we could be staring at vicious economic news and people not being able to put food on the table. >> and how seriously should we take president trump's threat to withhold federal aid for those districts relying on distance learning? >> i wouldn't take it that seriously. a lot of threats are empty threats. that federal aid, while the federal government doesn't provide that much money for primary and secondary education, the money they do provide sometimes is for school districts to have special education programs to help kids who have special needs.

starved resources, that's the resources he would be starving them on. it would be politically very dumb if he did something like that. you'd have parents of special needs kids around the country up in arms. so i just don't see it actually happening, to be honest. >> thank you for joining us, chuck. be sure to join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." an exclusive interview with white house task force member and the chair of the congressional black congress representative karen bass, democrat of california. tune in to "meet the press" at 8:00 a.m. right after this newscast. and coming up in about 30 minutes from now we'll talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. we'll take a look at president trump's claim that delaying the november election would be safer than moving ahead with mail-in vote.

now turning to decision 2020 democratic presumptive nominee joe biden is expected to soon announcist running mate. the decision will be announced the week of august 10th, according to three people close to the matter. among the contenders california senator kamala harris. yesterday she addressed her vice presidential prospects in an indirect manner saying anyone who tries to shatter a glass ceiling involved risk but it's worth it. the democratic national convention begins august 17th. all this month nbc bay area and our partners at telemundo 48 are working to clear the shelters. it's one of our favorite events. we've seen so many great animals find their forever homes over the years. shelters, though, are getting creative to help people find their perfect pets. a big part of the new normal, the east bay spca is match making, people looking to adopt, fill out a questionnaire online

to be matched with an animal. >> you'll send it to us. we will match you with an animal that matches the description you're looking for, a home that would be appropriate for the animal. you can come on in and meet by appointment and hopefully take them home. >> cats take a little bit more work. while adoption numbers have been on the increase there are still a lot of animals that need forever homes. it's now time to check in with vianey arana for a look at your microclimate forecast. how is it looking? that clear the shelters event is one of my favorites. go with the pet. haze valley in san francisco right now is so foggy, but as i was telling cierra earlier, faugust is in full effect. it's a little cloudy in san jose. i want to show you where the fog

is and what you're seeing. no major differences in the 24-hour temperature change. if you live in santa cruz, portions of hayward and livermore, you may be spotting low clouds rolling on in. we're still going to remain dry with temperatures in the 80s for the south bay. a couple low 90s. in through the east bay check out oakland, 74. danville predicted high of 88. in livermore, antioch, concord and walnut creek will be in the low 90s. i'm going to make note of this again because even though it might not be too gusty at times the combination of seeing all of that dry brush out there with the dry conditions and hotter temperatures still means elevated fire danger. the brushfires can easily start and spread. please keep that in mind. redwood city, 80 degrees.

san francisco will remain pretty seasonable for this time of year. 60s in the forecast. we'll keep pretty much a lot of that fog for the first half of the morning and then some clearing by the afternoon. some partial clearing. certainly going to see some of the hottest temperatures up through far, far northern california. now let's talk about the air quality, because as i mentioned, talking about elevated fire danger anytime it's dry. so far the air quality is expected to be good. however, we have high altitude smoke that might be visible to up at times. the reason for that is because of a nearby fire. now this is a dangerous fire called the apple fire that's burning south of us that could potentially be drifting some of that smoke into our area. because it is higher altitude, it might not be impacting us down below but it could be visible at times and then depending on how this continues to sort of develop and how much

control they get on the fire we'll continue to monitor that very, very closely as far as the apple fire goes. i'll keep you updated on that. i want to talk about the changes going into the workweek. we're enjoying these 90s. but by monday night into tuesday we have a low-pressure system that will be interacting with us. not only will it cool us off, it's going to kick up the wind by the evening. that low-pressure system has the potential to maybe even bring some drizzle to portions of california and look at the temperatures heading into wednesday. actually dropped down the temperature a little bit more. yesterday i had a high of about 830. we might dip down into 70s heading into the daytime highs for inland areas. that's 20-plus degrees in some areas of temperature drop. san francisco the same conditions heading into tuesday. the winds will pick up and then we'll get some cooling heading around the coastline, possibly low 60s with the possibility of seeing some drizzle around here. so interesting changes coming up ahead. i'll have a closer look at the pollen report and what else you

can expect coming up in my next report. much more ahead, london breed like you've never seen her before. we sit down one-on-one with san francisco's first black female mayor.

no time for fun, an understatement for san francisco's first black female mayor who was running a major city during a pandemic. cheryl hurd sat down with london breed and shows us a side you may not have seen before. >> reporter: this is the london breed you probably know, and here's the san francisco mayor you don't know. >> you would be surprised but i like to play dominoes and uno. >> reporter: she says she doesn't know what's funny anymore. that's because she's running a city during extraordinary times. what's it like being a black

mayor during george floyd and during a pandemic? the answer is complicated. >> there's a level of frustration because the privilege so many white people in this country have always had is manifesting its way through this movement. as if black people don't know what's in our best interests and they're here in some ways to save us. that's been my experience in some ways with a lot of the political structure here in san francisco. and it's been frustrating. >> reporter: mayor breed was born and raised right here in san francisco. running the city was the furthest thing from her mind because she grew up in the projects not far from here. >> going to funeral after funeral watching police brutality, losing people that you love. >> reporter: born london nicole

breed in august 1974. she grew up in a tough part of san francisco's western addition. >> i have lived in a storm for most of my life. >> reporter: that's because her sister died of a drug overdose, and her brother is in prison. it's a miracle she beat the odds. she gives the woman who raised her all the credit -- her grandmother. >> her parents were slaves. her whole family, when they were freed, they work as sharecroppers. she made me appreciate what i had. it done even matter. your circumstances should never determine your outcome in life. >> reporter: breed was sworn in as mayor in july 2018. her hands are especially full now. >> yes, i'm the mayor, but i'm a black woman first. >> reporter: with recent protests following the killing of george floyd along with the covid crisis, her job has been

overwhelming. >> people have come to my house in protests before. it was the manner in which they came to my house. after 11:30, all white, walking down the street with these fire sticks, chanting, calling me names, telling me to come outside like they were going to do something to me. >> reporter: all of this taking place as the country is going through a covid crisis. >> we're living in covid. we're swimming in covid. >> reporter: breed was the first to declare a state of emergency back in february and the first to issue a shelter at home order in march, way before the coronavirus surged. >> we're living in covid, as you know, until there's a vaccine. the good news is we're testing more people because people feel more comfortable with getting tested. >> reporter: she hopes that's because she's putting more testing sites in black and brown communities, areas that are impacted by the deadly virus.

but through it all mayor breed stays optimistic about the future. >> i want to be able to live here for the rest of my life, and i want to make it into the city that i know it has the potential to be. >> reporter: in san francisco cheryl hurd, nbc bay area news. much more ahead on "today in the bay" coming up pushing to reopen salons. why east bay hairstylists say the state's plan to work outside won't work for them. what they're planning to do now. plus, amid the surging covid crisis a little hope in man's>> bert: friend. what these dogs are doing to help sniff out covid-19. ththis cheesebeburger is t the!

we'll show you why graduating seniors are taking a pause before heading off to college and what it could mean down the road. >> join us monday morning, 4:30 to 7:00. president trump wants to delay the presidential election until the covid-19 pandemic is under control. he asserts that large numbers of people will steal mailed in ballots and delegitimize the outcome. political analyst larry gerston joins us. this is a serious charge. is there any merit to it? i'm sorry to say for those who really believe in it, no, there is no merit. if you keep saying it long enough, maybe. no, there's no merit. there have been studies done. for example, between 2000 and

2012, hundreds of millions of ballots sent in by mail during that period. what did they find? 491 violations. 491 out of millions, tens of millions, of mailed in ballots. nothing there. 2016 studies have been done. what did we find there? a handful -- a handful of the 28 million ballots sent in by mail. by the way, over 20% of the voters did so in 2016, so it's become something almost of second nature to so many people including, i might add, the president of the united states. >> i've seen a lot of chatter on social media. can the president change the date, which is the first tuesday after the first monday in november, perhaps by an executive order? >> the president has made a lot of claims lately, but this is one of them that can't happen. that's all there is to it. the constitution stipulates, cierra, article 2, section 1, period, every four years this country will have an election.

congress shall set the date. since 1845 that date has been set as the first tuesday after the first monday in november. the president has no role in doing any of this. >> and this isn't the first time president trump has argued election fraud, is it? >> no. as a matter of fact during 2016 campaign it looked very much to many that trump would lose and lose handily. candidate trump said this election is rigged. it's rigged. i'm going to lose because it's been set up so hillary clinton will win. of course we know what happened. president trump won thanks to the electoral college vote. and even after that president trump pushed this am he put together a commission, a voter fraud commission, to see whether people who voted by mail or otherwise had cheated him. he blamed it on undocumented immigrants largely from california, which is why he said hillary clinton won here. the commission found nothing. and in finding nothing they walked away saying, you know, everything was fair and square.

>> so why would the president make such a claim that has been thoroughly debunked? >> he has a lot of trouble on his hand. start with covid-19 and the public believing more than 2-1 he's done a terrible job managing it. add to that the economic ravaging of the nation. what's happened to our economy? it's terrible. he has to deal with that. there's the social justice movement and he has been on the wrong side of that in terms of public opinion as well as the economy in terms of public opinion. he has to do something. so what does he do? he sets up a distraction. for him it's very important to get out of the malaise he's in and point to people, point the press, point the voters, point everyone in another direction.

that's why he's done it. >> are there other examples of presidential misstatements? >> as a candidate he asserted president trump was born in kenya. how about the fact that he said this economy, when it was doing very nicely was the best economy in history. no. that china is paying the price for cheating the united states and charging them tariffs. it was the american consumer paying for those tariffs even to this day. "washington post" has followed this since the four years he's been in power and found the president has lied or misled the nation more than 20,000 times. you know that bully pulpit is important but you have to be careful how you use it. when you do the kinds of things the president has done, the question is how long can he get away with it? and it may be the time is up. >> and last question, what are

some of the problems that could emerge for the president's misrepresentation of voter fraud? >> if people really do feel that this election is rigged, if they really feel that it doesn't matter how they vote, it's been predetermined, they may not come out and vote at all. he's counting on the fact that more people who would vote for president biden will not come out. his voters will be charged to come out. it's dangerous. it's dangerous because of the fact it's not true. the last thing we want is for people from having their say in who wins. the other issue there will be many lawsuits filed by both sides. it's highly unlikely that this election will be settled november 3rd.

most haven't been settled because as we get the mail-in ballots it takes longer to count them. the important thing is for the public to feel and know they're voting and their vote counts. >> thank you, larry. we'll have a final look at weather after this break.

good morning. it is sunday and we do have a little bit of cloud cover out there. we have fog around the coast. a cool, cloudy start to our

sunday. a very lovely afternoon once that sunshine breaks through. as we get a look, about 60 degrees. we have the sunshine there. if you look at this shot of san jose you can notice the cloud cover, 60 degrees. and then it is very foggy in san francisco to the point where we can't even see the city in this camera. the fog is so dense we can't make out the city behind it. just a couple degrees off in some spots. milpitas 83. morgan hill, 92. expect another day of dry conditions as well as those hot inland 90s for martinez, walnut creek, concord and pittsburg. along with those dry conditions anytime we're seeing those hot temperatures with a lot of the dry brush out there, as you know, that means elevated fire danger. we have to please be mindful of

that. we've seen how quickly dry brush can start a brush fire and can spread. now as far as the microclimate forecast around the peninsula, san mateo, 73. very similar to san francisco. around here we tend to see the fog in the morning for the summer and the temperatures will be in the 60s. right now winds at about 22 miles per hour. so it is a little breezy in some areas. up through the north bay we're talking northwesterly winds. santa rosa, 90 degrees. as far as that air quality goes, yesterday we saw good air quality. this is measured according to the air quality index which gives it a numerical value. based on that numerical value it depicts the particles and pollutants in the air. we're green. we could be seeing smoke at times. we have covered the apple fire and we've been seeing that smoke billowing.

you have, we will monitor that. depending on how that plays out the next couple of hours and days is how it may impact us here. this gives you a visual where that apple fire is versus where we are here in the bay area. now we do have a couple of changes heading into the workweek. we have a low-pressure system that will make its way in tuesday and wednesday. what is that going to do for us locally? it will drop our temperatures down into the 70s for daytime highs and low 80s. so a nice break there from the 90s. it could kick up those gusty conditions heading into tuesday night and possibly even some drizzle expected wednesday morning. cierra? and thank you for making us a part of your morning. more local news at 4:30, 6:00 and 11:00 and all day on nbcbayarea.com.
