michigan avenue. what might have sparked the violence. and confusion over the president's executive order on coronavirus relief. coming up next, what is it in it for you. and no covid concerns at the a's game as a massive brawl break out between oakland and houston players. no concern for fans. but there is a possible punishment coming for the team this morning. the third hour of "today in the bay" continues right now. and a good morning too you. on this monday morning. thanks for starting it right here with us. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm kris sanchez. a little distracted looking at that video of that brawl. like what terrible sportsmanship first of all. secondly, you're not supposed to be anywhere near another person even at a baseball game. so that is disheartening to see. >> one of games where you can't distance yourself.

>> yeah. >> kari, it was a toasty weekend. >> yeah, we had some warm weather for the inland areas but it was still cool and foggy near the coast. i went up to stenson beach and it took until 5:00 in the evening before the sky cleared and it was nice and cool. and we could see the fog starting out early in san francisco. seeing it misting and drizzling at times and here our temperatures will stay in the 60s. you head across the bay to oakland. it is in the mid-70s and upper 80s for the south bay. and then some mid-90s for the east bay. up in ukiah today, expect a high of 98 while santa rosa will get a little bit of the ocean breeze coming through the mountain gaps and we'll be in the mid-80s. we'll talk more about what is ahead for the rest of the workweek in a few minutes. but mike will get you ready to head out of the door. i wasn't ready for this, kari. the bay bridge toll plaza. everything is so light including the bay bridge but the toll

plaza showed the meterering lights on so now 20 minutes later we have the fill-in for all of the lanes. after the packing in, things are moving well for the middle lanes. so it is better than it could be but this is early for the back-up at 6:01. the approach on the map, the speed sensors knowing no problem. there may be a crash just off of highway 13. we'll check on that. the rest of the bay even at san jose slowing we start and cleared up. back to you. and breaking news out of chicago. there was looting and violence overnight. and as we lk live from the helicopter shot, you could see things were destructive overnight. hundreds of people rushed into the area breaking into high end stores and taking what they could. police officers responded even exchanging gunfire at one point. chicago police tweeted that shots were fired at officers who

then returned fire. no officers were hurt. it is unknown if anybody else was hurt at this point. all this unrest could be linked to an officer-involved shooting that happened yesterday. look at the parking lot of the best buy. that was hit by looters. to word on any arrests related to that. and we do know that one person was taken into custody related to this initial shooting into mean for more clashes between police and protesters in oakland overnight. three officers were hurt when a group of people started throwing bottles at them. on saturday people broke into the portland police association building and lit it on fire. last night the city's 74th night of protest calling for police reform. and now to washington and president trump and speaker nancy pelosi. facing off in a new battle of the president's latest executive order to provide relief for americans. this morning many are wondering what is in this for them.

scott mcfarland, a lot of that back and forth over the weekend could really get much worse for us as we continue to watch all of this. >> reporter: yeah, marcus, there are new questions about the constitutionality of the president's weekend executive orders. whether those orders will do anything to put money in the pockets of anyone any time soon. as he made his way back to washington from a weekend at his resort in new jersey, president trump made the case for his newly signed executive action for coronavirus economic relief. >> you may say that you have heard some negatives but i've heard mostly positives. we have to get money out to the people. >> reporter: $400 a week in unemployment benefits, less money than democrats were seeking and partly paid for and distributed by each state. it is unclear which states could afford it and how fast the money could be sent out and whether it is constitutional. >> whether they're legal or not takes time to figure out.

my constitutional advisers tell they're absurdly unconstitutional. >> reporter: and democrats argue the order could starve money from social security and medicare and oversteps the president's authority. >> our counsel office and treasury department believes it has the authority to temporarily suspend banking regulations. >> the executive order are all too narrow, unworkable and weak. >> reporter: but the president told reporters over the weekend if a lawsuit happens he expects courts to hear the case quickly. the president also told reporters he's heard from democrats over the weekend that want to start negotiations over the weekend but sources tell nbc news there has been no contact between the white house and congressional democratic leaders. live in washington, i'm scott

mcfarland, now back to you. >> scott, thank you. and i want to make a quick correction, in the last story before we heard from scott, that i said oakland instead of portland. again, that was the protest going on in portland, not oakland. kris. thank you very much. here we go. going back to school for students in oakland, kids are going back to school in a matter of hours. but there is still a lot up in the air. bob redell is following this. at this point, the teachers and the district don't have an agreement about what they're going to do for distance learning and the school bell is going to ring in just a few hours. >> correct, kris. so for about a month now the oakland unified school district and teachers have been trying to reach an agreement on what the distance learning model will look like. they're negotiating over how much live instruction per day and the length of the teacher work days. talks broke off this past

saturday. nothing changed yesterday on sunday. the teachers union wants the district to provide small group distance learning in addition to daily instruction because it is so effective in their opinion. but a union representative said the district just won't budge on this. >> that is something that especially in the virtual world that we know is critical to provide students with what they need academically and help keep their growth going. >> reporter: in her back to school message, the oakland unified superintendent wrote in part although we're not able to see each other in person we are excited to connect with our students and families virtually. we continue owe work hard with our labor partners to reach an agreement about what exactly what distance learning will look like and we look forward to reaching a deal. we'll update you as soon as that happens. for now teachers plan to hold a single hour each day online. and teachers will be doing in

person wellness checks on at risk students. they could not release any details until they reach an agreement with the union. as students throughout the bay area return to a virtual classroom, a national retail federation said parents plan to spend a report amount of money. $789. almost $100 higher than the previous record because parents are spending more on computers and chargers, less on backpacks and bunch boxes and clothes in the age of distance learning. kids still care about their shirts and decorations for the bedroom wall since you could see them on the zoom call but everything below the camera line is not as much of a concern. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks, bob. meantime, oakland unified grab and go meal program resumes today but with a big change to tell you about. now the meals will only be offered to registered students. now since the pandemic began, oakland unified has been giving that food to anyone 18 or older but the district said that the

change in federal rules is forcing them to cut back. those memals will be handed out at 22 schools. happening this weekend, new covid testing sites are opening in the south bay. starting tomorrow they'll be testing offered by appointment only at overfelt high school in san jose and in gilroy. there is also testing monday through friday including walkup testing at several locations in santa clara county, just check out the county's website. so the a's and astros went after each other. so things went ugly. after the a's outfielder got hit by a pitch the second time. sparking the benches to clear. major league baseball said these type of brawls would be punishable. well, expect suspensions from both sides. the a's did win the ninth

straight game. well, the weekend weather was nice for them as they were out there playing. but keep that fighting to yourself. fight within. notfield. >> right. absolutely. that should be the lesson. let's check out our temperature trend for walnut creek this morning. as you get ready to head out, we're checking out a few clouds moving in but overall a mostly clear start here in the east bay and our temperatures heating up quickly. going from 61 at 7:00 to 87 at 1:00 today. and it is continuing to go up a few more degrees from there. as we reach into the low 90s, some upper 80s in the south bay. palo alto will reach 84 and san francisco stays in the 60s. mike, what is the update for the commute? we had a crash i told you i would check on in oakland. let's start with the big view. a lot of green. things are light. even in the south bay, san jose

late slowing kicking in for 101 and then early clearing. so that is good news. getting to oakland for westbound 580 just before the 24 interchange, slowing until just a few seconds ago. a crash getting pushed off toward lake shore off-ramp, if that is your exit, know the activity and the back-up at the bay bridge toll plaza. that builts up at about 5:345 this morning. back to you. well the pga championship in san francisco now in the history books. we'll have highlights including the moment the winner nearly lost the hardware -- oh, what happens there. we'll show you when we come back. also steph curry crashing the show as well. we'll talk about that. plus -- >> looking forward to plus work at home turns into stay at home for yet more employees. let's take you out to the stock market. it will be hard at work in just a few minutes. futures falling for a bigger

open. we'll take a look at it and business news. you're watching "today in the bay."

right now at 6:14, let's checko out the south bay in our live view. campbell will be in the low 60s to start. now we'll see our skies quickly clearing out. a lot of sunshine and warm weather for this afternoon.

but some of us will still have the cool weather. we'll talk about that and a look at workweek forecast coming up. and an update for the richard san rafael to richmond, a debris but not causing a major problem. westbound the commute is starting to pick up. but we're seeing a shift as folks head to school even as folks continue to work from home. well, good morning to you. and a very happy monday. speaking of working at home, a lot of companies are getting to point where they're just telling employees to stay home as the virus gets worse, not better. the latest to tell employees to stay home for a longer period of time is zynga, the san francisco gaming company said it was going to bring people back in october, but the san francisco business times reports zynga employees will stay home. uber and facebook have said much the same.

it is easy for tech companies to keep their employees at home, easier than it is other industries. companies are really leading the stock market. so when you hear people talk about stock market records, what they're really saying it a lot of tech companies are doing very well. the nasdaq may have traded slightly lower on friday but when you look at the broader picture, amazon, apple, microsoft, facebook, google, pulling the markets higher. now the markets this morning trying to figure out what to make of president trump's executive orders over the weekend. some of them are not enforceable. the eviction ban doesn't ban evicks. we'll get to that as we talk politics later. but let's talk payroll taxes for a second. president trump has ordered employers to stop taking the payroll tax out of paychecks if you make less than $104,000 a year. so this is going to make your

paycheck bigger but you still owe the taxes later and by making your income bigger, you make your income tax slightly bigger as well. democrats and quite a few republicans argued against this idea, saying taking out a payroll tax helps people who are employed and does nothing to help people that are unemployed and don't get a paycheck at all. and i thought this was a clever idea. malls are getting emptier and amazon is talking with simon properties about moving into spaces once owned by macy's or penny's or sears and for warehouses to serve amazon deliveries. you know the big anchor stores are enormous and many cases in some malls they are absolutely empty. and amazon said, hey, we still have a lot of customers. >> yes, but marcus, you were saying that some of the other malls tenants don't want to see

that because they don't drive foot traffic. >> they're seeing a decline in that a but i'm sure the owner of the mall want to use the space in some kind of way. we'll have to see what happens. thank yous scott. 6:18 this morning and a cal graduate has his name in the record books for you this morning. 23-year-old collin morikawa won the pga championship at harding park. he takes home a cool $2 million. ching ching. he made only one mistake yesterday, so look he tried to lift the trophy as you saw right there and then the top fell off. afterwards he spoke about his accomplishment. >> it is amazing. it is been a life goal obviously as a little kid. kind of watching everyone grow up all of the professionals an that is what i've always wanted to do. >> he may have some star power

during the next round. orking as a guest reporter during the event said he's available if he needs a caddy or replacement. he's ready to go. i could step in at a moment. >> let's hope he doesn't need a replacement. caddy would be cool. you could imagine steph curry as your caddy. >> that is something to talk about. >> show him how to sink the putt from the three point range. >> we'll work on that. here we go for today on this monday. and kari, after a big wind you want to do it too. is it nice to get out there and hit a few puts. >> if you get out in san francisco, it is still foggy there. as we head inland, it is all clear. check out this view from mt. diablo as we look over the east bay. a beautiful sunrise on this monday morning and hopefully you're able to get out and enjoy it before the temperatures heat up. if you're going out for a run this morning around martinez,

we're going to be in the low 60s but you could see the trend as it goes upward throughout the morning and into afternoon. at noon we're at 77 and then 79 degrees. and once again it is going to be a hot afternoon for some of us. so let's take it hour-by-hour. at lunchtime we're seeing some upper 80s and low 90s. we're at 92 degrees as we look at what is happening in livermore during the middle of the day, while napa is at 85 degrees. and then some upper 80s for spots like cupertino. in san mateo it is 76 and you could still see the fog near the coast and cooling off the rest of the bay area going into the evening. so at 7:00, if you're planning an evening walk, it will be at about 85 degrees in antioch and napa at 78 degrees. so feeling much more comfortable. but i think a lot more of the fog will start us out early tomorrow morning and cool us off a few more degrees. so look at our valley temperatures. from the 90s to the upper 80s

for the next couple of days and that is only break from the high heat because it is going to get potter by the end of the week. by friday we'll see temperatures reaching into the mid-90s. and it is still going to be hot this weekend. mike, how is it looking right now as folks get ready to head out for work? not good. because you're saying 87 is the break we get. but we'll transition toward traffic. that is okay. that is moving nicely. but we start with the bay bridge toll plaza where the metering lights were turned on early, about 5:38 and the back-up forms quickly. i think it is very slow. maybe they heard about an incident on the span but there are no incidents. you see the middle lanes recovering. the map will show you, it is only at the toll plaza that we have the slower drive. the maze and the east shore freeway and contra costa moving smoothly just slowing through contra costa county -- oh, my gosh, i circle that.

let's move on from there. no problems in two areas, smooth drive. watch out for giant circles is my message for the morning. but slowing out of the altamont pass without any problems. and through the rest of the bay, nothing to circle except for the area where we expect to see slowing. it is not there either. lighter drive. back to you guys. >> avoid the circles. >> now i have that mallone song stuck in my head. coming up, rachael ray's house goes up in flames. how she and her dogs are doing this morning. but first a georgia school suspended the student who posted this picture, a crowded hallway at a school. but they lifted the suspension after it went viral. well this morning there is even more to tell you about dealing with this picture. why the school is back in the headlines. we'll talk about it when we return. 6:22 for you right now. experience the ultimate sports hub.

and the costs to our economy, to our state budget? mounting every day. we need to provide revenues now, to solve the problems we know are coming. this is new video just into the newsroom overnight. this is the home of celebrity chef rachael ray. it was severely damaged by fire. it was the fire that started last night at her house in upstate new york. not clear at this point whether ray was at home but the representative for her said that talk show host and her husband and their dog are safe. the extent of the damage is unknown yet. the cause of the fire is also unknown. but since the start of the

pandemic rachael ray has been filming her show from her house and her show airs right here on nbc bay area. very big flames there. >> i'm glad they're okay. as students go back to school here in the bay area, there are concerns in georgia following a photo i want to show you. this photo going viral last week. you likely saw it. this is where students were in a crowded hallway in a high school. this is just outside of atlanta. the school suspended that student who took the photo because they said using the phone without permission on school grounds, well it followed that suspension but the punishment has since been lifting this week. students won't be returning to school. you won't see the photo because they're not allowed back to school and this is after nine people tested positive for covid-19 there. forced to shut n march because of the pandemic are starting to reopen. happening today, the city's main library will offer curb side

pickup and dropoff for books. the selser branch will have more locations in the coming weeks. you could request a book, a dvd, auto book by going to the library website, the bay area libraries are doing much the same. coming up, back out to chicago where there is unrest this morning and a press conference as we speak about the number of people who were arrested after the looting that happened along the magnificent mile. we'll show you the details on what we know about how this started. plus the head of the state department of public health announces late last night that she is stepping down. this happened just days after the state reports that they may have a backlog of several thousand unreported covid cases. you're watching "today in the bay."

right now at 6:30, breaking news, downtown chicago in chaos overnight. looters taking to the streets, targeting high end stores. latest from the air and on the ground. and an abrupt resignation, california public director quits as the pandemic ran rages on. a reaction pouring in this morning including reaction from the governor himself. plus thousands of oakland students will be returning to

school from home. we have more of that, but their lesson plans are still up in the air. we'll talk about that and much more here as "today in the bay" continues right now. and a good morning to you. on this monday, i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm kris sanchez. i'm in for laura garcia. we are looking forward to a forecast, kari, that may be cooler than what we saw this weekend. yeah, so we're looking at our live view in dublin right now. and we're starting out clear here. it is going to be cool along the coast but then as we check out dublin and pleasanton in our temperature trend, it will be a hot afternoon. we'll talk more about this coming up in a few minutes. mike, any issues for the drive? well, i keep talking about this. the bay bridge toll plaza where the metering lights were turned on at 5:38, earlier than we've seen for months. the lanes are easing up and no problems on the span.

the map ashows you the approach and a nice easy drive in the green zone. back to you. >> sorry to cut you short, mike. we want to take you back out to chicago right now where the mayor lori lightfoot is speaking about the unrest, the looting and some arrests that happened overnight. we have a better look at some of that outcome of the violence in downtown chicago. new video of stores that got looted. we learned that more than 100 people have been arrested. so far officials say hundreds of them rushed into the area, they were breaking into the stores there, taking what they could. police officers at one point even exchanged gunfire with some of the suspects. chicago police tweeting that shots were fired at the officers first and that the officers then returned fire. no officers were hurt. it is unknown whether anybody else was hit. but, again, the mayor is talking about some arrests that happened and what triggered this whole event which happened after an officer-involved shooting

earlier in the day yesterday. well back here at home, late night announcement over the weekend from sacramento. forcing the state department of public health leadership. dr. sonia angell is stepping down from her position as public health director. jack y jackie ward is live with the details this morning. >> reporter: good morning, marcus. there is speculation as to why dr. sonia angell is leaving her position and she's only held since october. she's also the first latina to have this role. effect today she's no longer the head of the department of state public health and she didn't give a reason why when she emailed the colleagues in which she wrote each and every one of you has been essential because we know that in the final calculation health is not defined by one condition, disease or experience. and the final calculation all of our work in aggregate makes a

difference. her resignation is days after a major blunder with the covid-19 tracking system announced. a computer glitch caused several thousand cases to go unreported. they're working through the back bog to provide more accurate numbers. california has 554,160 confirmed cases of covid-19. 10,293 californians have died from the virus. an the rate of positive tests over the last 14 days is 6.1% which is slightly down from two weeks ago. sandra shoery will be the health director and dr. erica penn will assume the role of acting state public health officer. gavin newsom thanks sonia angell and he's expected to speak to the public at noon today. watch that right here on nbc bay area. back to you. >> thank you so much, jackie. kris. well now coronavirus cases

in the state are dropping but the deaths in senior centers continue to rise in the north bay. this comes after health leaders there say that nursing homes are showing signs of slowing the spread of the virus. since the pandemic started 47 people died from covid-19 in sonoma county alone and 38 were living in senior care facilities. nursing home administrators say that seniors make up more than 80% of covid related deaths happening in that count. and many needed ppe will be handed out for medical practices. he state of california and efforts to provide up to two months supply of ppe to facilities. clinics could pick up the supplies today at san jose city college from 10:00 this morning until 2:00 this afternoon. as oakland students prepare to start the new school year today, san jose unified are getting ready.

as home learning, well, it is what the students will be doing as they start school on wednesday in san jose. but teachers, they're required to physically report to classrooms. say it is an unnecessary risk as well as a luge incontroversy for those who have children themselves. the district said they working on accommodations for teachers with childcare and medalic needs. well, all this week nbc is launching a new series called coronavirus and the classroom. hear from the team of expert searching nationwide for the best answers to all of those questions from teachers to participants to students. coronavirus and the classroom kicks off on the "today" show, right after "today in the bay" at 7:00. well new this morning, it seems like a lot of parns are saying no thanks to the happiest place on earth because of the pandemic. in a new poll by morning consult and the hollywood reporter found that nearly 80% of parents say

it is just too risky to go to any team park this summer. disneyland is shut down in california as is universal studios which is part of the nbc family. great america won't open at all this season and, kari, this weekend we surely could have used the water rides. it was a hot one. yeah, we have a season pass but it is good to know it is extended through next year. so we'll see how things go then. as we start out this morning, getting out the door, we're seeing a lot of fog in san francisco. it is been misting and drizzling but the inland areas are all clear. we'll still have the wide range in temperatures from the kroeftal areas to the inland valley. half moon bay will reach 63 today and oakland will see a high of 75. upper 80s for san jose. and 82 in napa. and then for livermore, we're up to 94 degrees. and ukiah reaching 98. now we'll get a bit of a cooldown heading into tomorrow. we'll talk more about that coming up in the forecast.

mike, you've been keeping an eye on some of the slow spots, including the bay bridge. >> yeah, that is the one that started early this morning, despite the fact that we see a lighter volume of traffic all around the bay. let's get out to the roadway and talk about the smooth drive for the maps. i've circled the east shore freeway around carlston, reports of a crash there and some slowing as you're approaching golden gate field out of richmond. the middle lanes are moving the best. a circle at the bottom of your screen, 101 northbound north of 680, the live camera will take a look out there. chp just notified me about a traffic break they plan to run north of here. i don't know why. i'm assuming it is debris or a disabled vehicle. right now traffic is very light but we'll see if this causes a back-up, back to you. >> thanks, mike. >> the political world hitting a fever pitch this week.

coming up, when joe biden is expected to announce his running mate and who rour sources are saying is at the top of the list. plus -- >> plus we'll take a closer look at the president's executive orders. what works and what doesn't. we'll take a closer look at the big board this morning. stocks are up as the white house indicates it is willing to back more money for coronavirus relief. maybe this face mask will end aup debates about wearing face coverings. it has a lot of bling and we'll show you how much it is worth coming up next. you're watching "today in the bay."

lily everyone in the house is online and i can't get enough bandwidth to video chat with my book club. try 1 gig internet with at&t fiber. you get more bandwidth and hbo max included. so, everyone stays entertained. so i can just watch the show instead of reading the book? you know, if you turn on your subtitles... that's almost reading. get 1 gig internet with at&t fiber for $49.99a month for a year. no annualcontract. and now get hbo max included. limited availability in select areas. call 1.877.only.att

right now at 6:41. let's take a look at our temperature trend for this morning in foster city. if you're going out for a walk, there will be some clouds early but it clears out today and we have some nice weather here for the afternoon. but some spots will be hot. we'll talk about that in the forecast coming up. and i'm hearing about a crash on the dumbarton bridge, over from the peninsula side. i think a cone might have hit a car or vice versa. it sounds like everything is out of the lanes but i'm double checking because it does report a car is facing the wrong way. we'll bring you that coming up. plus students if oakland return to school this morning in a virtual setting. there is uncertainty about what their day will look lick. bob redell is joining us live. so school starts today but we've

been talking about the district and teachers still negotiating over the distance learning model. >> they have, marcus, for a month now. oakland unified and teachers have been figuring out what the model will look like. they're negotiating over issues such as how much hours, how much hours of instruction per day and the length of the teachers work days. talks broke off the past saturday. fog changed yesterday on sunday. the teachers union wants the district to provide small group distance learning in addition to daily instruction. because they say it is so effective. but your union representative said the district won't budge. >> that is something that especially in the virtual world that we know is critical to provide students with what they need academically and help keep their growth going. >> in her back-to-school message, oakland unified sent wrote in part although we're not able to see each other in person, we're all excited to keck again with our students and families virtually.

we continue to work hard with our labor partners to reach an agreement about exactly what distance learning will look like and we look forward to reaching a deal, we'll update you as soon as that happens. gep oakland unified does go back to school virtually. for now teachers plan to hold instruction for a single hour each day online and doing in-person wellness checks on at-risk students. again the district said it will not release any details until it reaches an agreement with the union. as students throughout the bay area return to virtual classroom, the national retail federation predicts that nationwide parents plan to spend $789, almost $100 higher than the previous record because there is more on computer on chargers and less on backpacks and clothes. kids still care about the shirts and decorations on the wall

because they're on zoom. and pants not so much. and me, i'll never tell. bob redell, for "today in the bay." >> bob. oh, my goodness. well this week is shaping up to be a critical one. decision 2020, joe biden is expected to make and announce his veep pick. we know at the top of the short list of all women are california senator kamala harris and southern california congresswoman karen bass. sources tell us nbc news that harris and former obama national security adviser susan rice are in the final round for consideration. meantime former san francisco mayor and friend of senator harris' willie brown said she should not take the vice president offer but go for the attorney general position. brown said traditionally vice pre precedent is a dead job but joe biden would disagree. and taking action where

congress did not. >> and scott mcgrew, it is not clear that the order could accomplish what the president wants. >> there are a number of hurdles. good morning to you. particularly the one where he wants to increase the amount of money that is going into the unemployment checks. he's talking about using money from other sources. remember, congress normally controls where money goes. also, he's depending on the states to participate and chip in and it is not at all clear as to whether that could happen. some of the executive orders probably will work. it appears does he have the legal authority to delay payroll taxes. we're talking about that in business news. and the president said he's extending the ban on evictions. >> extend the eviction moratorium, we will be extending that. so people aren't evicted. not their fault. >> but that is not what his own order said. the order just asks various

administration officials to look into the problem and then, quote, take action as appropriate and consistent with applicable law. to promote the ability of representers and homeowners to avoid eviction. so within the current parameters and no new action. one of the more peculiar bits of news out of the white house is the president denying his staff was looking into figuring out how to get him on the the mt. rushmore, his face added to mt. rushmore. the president tweeted out this pike with to commentary over the weekend. "new york times" reported white house staff talked to the governor of south dakota about adding trump to the monument. actually the media part of that article had to do with kristi noem who pulled out all of the stops for the fourth of july visit to mt. rushmore.
