see how our day shapes up. have not completed a phase 3 we'll start in the 60s here. study. a phase 3 study is the final a few clouds will clear out and stage that usually involves tens of thousands of people to prove we'll still have nice weather today. here's a look at the if an experimental vaccine is microclimates and our highs i a safe and if it really works. we want to get to a developing story on capitol hill. after tense moments outside the white house, there is aft a man. minutes into president trum evening, secret service whisked him out of the room. scott plaqmacfarlane has more o that. >> reporter: the president was asked to leave the briefing room by the secret service. the shooting happened on the north side of the white house complex. the white house complex is enormous, heavily fortified, in fact the fences are growing in size and distance from the center of the white house. what happened, the u.s. secret service said, a 51-year-old forcefully, in their words, approached an officer outside the white house, reached toward

his waist and got down in what the secret service describes is a shooting crouch or a shooting stance. the secret service acknowledges law enforcement shot that man, that 51-year-old man, in the torso. he's in the hospital right now. here's the summary from tom sullivan of u.s. secret service here in washington. >> the white house complex was never breached during the incident nor was the secret service ever in danger. >> reporter: well, after that scare, the president returned to the podium, returned to his press conference and spoke about his executive orders from the weekend, including his unemployment executive order calling for a new $400-a-week set of unemployment benefits for those who are out of work, saying the states will have to help pay for it. his critics say that may not be constitutional. it's clear that states don't have money to afford it. i'm scott macfarlane.

now back to you. >> scott, thank you for that. right now the bridges to chicago's downtown areas raged, really keeping people from heading back to those same areas after all the violence and looting sunday night. more than 130 people were arrested and 30 officers were injured in downtown chicago. the shooting led to a car of caravans driving through that downtown area, damaging and looting from businesses. more than 400 police officers were called in to respond. in the wake of that unrest, shattered glass broken, mannequins and toiletries and shoe boxes littered the streets. for players in the pac 12, it is probably already too late. jackie is live for us in stanford with plans for a season

or non-plans, jackie. >> reporter: it's very difficult to talk about with these football players. some are trying to form a union after they learned their football season might be canceled. we expect the leaders of the league or the conference, rather, to cancel its football season. we are waiting for that official announcement later on today. pac 12 presidents will be meeting later on today, reportedly meeting before formally cancelling the 2020-2021 season. this after radio talk show host dan patrick announced on his show on wednesday that the commissioners met over the weekend without successfully making a decision. players like offensive line man drew dalman understand what they have to consider when making this decision. >> as an athlete, obviously we all want to play. i personally want to play, but we want to do it under the right conditions where everybody can be safe and where we can be

safe. >> reporter: and yahoo sports reporter pete salman remind us that without football, the towns could be in danger. >> the towns count on those games and everybody revolving around the university. there will be financial chaos in those college towns. >> reporter: the mountain west conference, which includes san jose state, canceled all 2020 sports yesterday and is looking at possibly rescheduling to spring 2021. meanwhile, president trump is leading the charge to save this year's season, tweeting, play college football. ncaa football brings in an estimated $7 billion every single season. live from stanford, jackie ward, "today in the bay." >> we want that, but of course safety is the best thing and we have to follow those rules. this is all surrounding this right here. more than 1700 new covid-19

infections in the bay area. solano, san mateo and costa contra counties added cases in the last 24 hours. meanwhile, infections in palo alto seem to be on the rise. as of last week, the city has confirmed 174 cases. santa clara county health leaders indicate most of the transmission seems to be the result of community spread. happening today, there are new testing sites that are opening up in the south bay. we know testing so paramount to any reopening plans. testing will be offered by appointment only at the overfelt high school campus in san jose and also the south county annex building which is in gilroy. there is also testing monday through friday, including walk-up testing at several locations throughout santa clara county. just check out the county's website. now that masks are part of our daily lives, there really is

a debate over which ones work and which ones don't. so a group of duke university researchers tested 14 different types of those face coverings. the n-95 came out on top, surgical masks and cotton masks came in second. meanwhile the bandanas weren't affected at all, because if that becomes saturated with germs, they can actually be worse than wearing nothing. doctors in the bay area say they're not surprised by those results. >> so when you breathe, everything is collecting at the bottom of the bandana. it's got a little triangle and it passes onto your neck and your chest. that's not really a good idea. >> the study was conducted so people can better understand what is the best protection during the pandemic. well, heading into this upcoming school year, a lot of parents have a lot of questions about their kids who have special needs and who have those ieps. today the palo alto unified

school district plans to hold a meeting to address those concerns. according to palo alto online this morning, it plans to address the hope that the state will soon allow small groups of students to return to campus for in-person learning. in fact, it has been part of the discussion, returning vulnerable students to campus sooner than anyone else. but that can only happen when and if santa clara county has been off the state monitoring list for two weeks. palo alto students return to class on monday. we did put together a list of all bay area districts and their back-to-school plans. go to n b knbcbayarea.com. it's in the top left-hand corner. getting through our tuesday morning for you, meteorologist kari hall has a look at what we can expect up in the skies today. what are we looking at here, kari? >> yeah. the meteor shower peaks this

millions of people in russia this year. >> all right, so there is clearly concern within the global health community as scientists say they have not completed a phase 3 study. a phase 3 study finds usually tens of thousands of people to prove if an experimental vaccine is, in fact, safe and really works. back here at home, covid-19 money from uncle sam could significantly beef up law enforcement in contra costa county. tod "today in the bay," bob redell is here. bob, what are they going to be talking about? >> reporter: marcus, the county board of supervisors in this building behind me later this morning will be voting on whether or not to use some federal relief money for the covid-19 pandemic to help the county better serve its jail inmates. later this morning the board of supervisors will vote on whether to add 23 deputy sheriffs and one lieutenant to work the martinez detention facility. it would cost just under $11.7

million which the sheriff said could be claimed through the coronavirus relief and security act. since these provisions are part of the covid-19 response throughout the jail system, this could be used to promote health services in the jail system, allowing general visitation time while still recently said they would find people who were not obeying the mask order. they will fine people who are not wearing masks or failing to social distance. santa rosa will also consider a new program that allows that city to fine people and businesses who don't follow the respected covid-19 restrictions. in martinez, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. those confirmed covid-19 cases in california continue to climb. right now there are more than

green sensors north bay and most east bay. we'll take you to altima pass where there is still that slowing. more and more folks making their way there. here's the note. northbound 680 from fremont heading to seminole, slowing. watch it as you turn around the bend there in the washington district there, and everything else should be clear. watch for a build in san jose, coming up. back to school is top of mind, but with just months to go until election day, vote by mail concerns are also top of mind. still ahead on "today in the bay," the growing number of americans who say they are not confident with the process. if you think about leaving the country, you may be at a point of no return. new rules that may go into effect.

♪ a classic, indeed. still topping the charts, the top spot phil collins is now taking thanks to two teens. on "today in the bay."

clear, it's going to be slightly cooler today and hotter weather on the way. we'll talk more about this and what's ahead, coming up in a few minutes. and we'll stay in the south bay with a view of san jose north 101. i saw the sensors on the map. you can make it out with headlights coming toward us. the cars you see are not spaced so well. we'll see how that effects the silicon valley, coming up. >> thanks, kari and mike. this may sound like a broken record, but it could be today. or tomorrow. we're talking about joe biden's vp pick. but, you know, it is a short list we're talking about of women. senator kamala harris is among the top contenders. bay area watchers say harris is a strong contender. >> she's a hard one to attack, because when she was da and even when she was attorney general, she was reasonably tough when it came to law and order. >> there's also concern over a sexist attack against a possible

pick. women's groups are already warning the media they are tracking the coverage very closely. >> the discrimination, the stuff that's out there on the internet, the attacks we've seen. that's what they're doing, they're anticipating this, and i think it's a good idea. >> that was senator amy klobuchar. there is also a call out comparing joe biden's selection process to "the bachelor." americans say they don't think the upcoming 2020 election will be conducted fairly. those are the findings of a new poll just in from nbc survey monkey. republicans are more likely than democrats to say that they are not feeling confident about the fairness of the election. around 55% of those respondents also say they plan to vote by mail this november. the same number think every american should have that option. the white house is reaching out to democrats this morning, saying that they are ready to negotiate on the next stimulus bill. >> scott mcgrew, so far nobody

is biting. >> yeah, no, at least not publicly. good morning to you. really, kris and marcus, there are two washingtons. you get in front of the tv cameras and you're very partisan and very tough. then there is the behind the scenes where there is some negotiation going on. but publicly we are no closer to a deal. this despite republicans signalling they would be open to compromise. democrats feel they have the upper hand. they've had a plan put together since may. but it is so much more expensive than republicans are ready for. now, the fact that congress was unwilling to take action is what inspired president trump to sign those executive orders on saturday, four of them. they may or may not be legal. executive orders are tough that way. candidate trump back in 2014 had a real problem with executive orders. he said they weren't legitimate. take a look. >> the executive orders are an outrage. we have a president that can't

lead. he said, the hell with it, i'm not doing this anymore, i want to rest and do other things, including playing golf. this man played 100 rounds of golf. i shouldn't complain. i own golf courses around the world. i shouldn't be angry with him, it's good. except it's not good because he should be doing other things. but he signs executive orders because he's given up. he can't convince anybody to do anythi anything. >> that was candidate trump back in 2015. now, on saturday president trump signed four executive orders at his golf resort in bedminster. saturday was his 230th day as president, his 200th round of golf, according to the calendar. both the "wall street journal" and the "new york times" are reporting the white house is thinking about implementing a ban against american citizens who are coming in from overseas who have been diagnosed or even

exposed to coronavirus, banning them from re-entering the country for an indeterminate amount of time. that is something to think about if you are considering some travel. we're watching what's happening in washington. appellate court today. we'll be following that and tweeting about it. you can follow me. i'm scott mcgrew. some salon owners in southern california say they're about to take some serious action because they cannot wait to reopen their salons anymore. we're talking about this because we know it's an issue here in the bay area as well. just like most of the state, hair salons in torrance and costa mesa have been closed for about five months and some shops say they are facing permanent closure. some salons held a movie night to make money for a defense fund because they say they're planning to reopen next week despite the health orders. the money will go to issues for
