remove mail drop boxes because of violent demonstrations or otherwise? this was the scene after a peaceful candlelight vigil that turned aggressive. it unfolded where a large crowd had gathered. oakland police reported some people threw rocks and bottlesa at officers soopd responded in force calling the protests an unlawful assembly. this c on the heels of even more confusion in oakland after the postal service removed six mail collection boxes from downtown. we have a look at where the six boxes were located. two on broadway, two on washington street, one on telegraph avenue and one on clay street. you can s those yellow circles. the usps says the boxes were taken out to prevent them from being vandalized during recent demonstrations. both oakland mayor libby schaaf and congresswoman barbara lee

are speaking out against the remov removal. demonstrators we spoke with don't buy it. >> i think that's a very convenient excuse for the ongoing postal service. >> i don't see why protesters would destroy mailboxes. that's bs to me. >> congresswoman lee wrote a letter to postmaster general dejoy claiming the move could hurt the mail-in ballot process election. lee tells us she expects the boxes to be replaced tomorrow. and still in oakland a much different scene yesterday morning. protesters with their horses taking to the streets as they rode, they tell us their hope was to get people thinking about racial injustices and social reform. >> there's a lot of different ways to protest. we wanted to let you know there are black cowboys and cowgirls. this is what we do, soe would

bay aread back to the classroom earlier than expected. we told you yesterday that on friday governor gavin newsom introduced a new system for nty of these four tiers, widespread, substantial, moderate, normal bad on two things -- the rate of cases and positivity rate. napa andf5 san francisco are th only two-countieñxs under the r substantial better than widespread, the most restricted tier. schools in the red tier, san francisco and napa, could open for inerson class:es if they hold that classification for two straight weeks. schools that have grades kindergarten through sixth grade and the most restrictive purple can also reopen with a waiver from their county health department. this doesn't mean all schools will reopen because counties can ac their own requirements on

schools. by the way, this tier system goes into effect tomorrow. abbott laboratories is conducting more rapid coronavirus test hoping to expand its fda approval. this coming week abbott, which has offices in santa clara, gained emergency authorization from the fda but that authorization is within seven days of someone showing symptoms. the new goal of the trials under way expand loose for asymptomatic people. the cheapest and fastest on the market. it is 7:09. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up we take you liveo our conversation with chuck todd who has a his week's "m"meet the prpress." h he brougught the world togetherer in "black panther" a now thehe l late chadwiwick bo5 brininging the t twitter wororl

togegether. j,k

welcome back. we now bring in chuck todd, news political director and moderator of "meet the press." hi, chuck. as always, thank you for joining us this morning. somewh7/at surprisingly we are approaching the final two months before the presidential election. now that we have both conventions in the rvi any one political party seems to have an advantage and why? >> well, look, i do think the virus has certainly put the president at a disadvantage, and that's been an ongoinghim since. and you saw that with the central theme at the democratic how theon in many ways, but republicans are certainly very aware of therus' impact and they wanted to reframe the conversation, put the virus in the rear-view mirror and focus on what they believe is an issue that works well for them and that is this iss of violence in the streets.

and so, look, i do think the events of the week played into the messaging that the rnc was showing and that the president wants to run on. the question incs whether it is long lasting. every time he thinks he's able to change the message from the virus, the virus sort of wins. it's always tough to try to outdo the virus these days. once again, i think this convention -- we know what they want to do and they want to run on this law and order message. we'll see if events continue to help make that a possibility.x >> okay. so we have, as we do each election year, battlegrounds states that can be expected, arizona, michigan, that sort of thing, but we also have swing voters, various groups of people who are up for grabs this time around like suburban women, senior citizens. which do you biggest effect onf the presidential outcome?

>> look, i think the biggest, the most important set of voters are voters we don't talk about, swing voters, and they voted third party fago. nearly 7% of the entire electoral voted for stein or wrote someone in. there's a reason neither clinton nor trump got over 50%. there was a substantial third party vote. right now we don't have nearly the amount of third party candidates getting the type of attention those did, and those voters we are seeing break sharply for biden. they may be the single most important voters. the president can get the exact same support he got four years ago and if those third party voters all break for biden or two to one for carrs michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. so if you ask me who the most important voters are, i'm starting to think it's that smal 6% that didn't vote for either major party but voted four years ago. they may hold the key. >> and maybe two months from now we'll be replaying this sound

bite from you once we see the determination of the election outcome. >> fair enough. >> chuck, we always appreciate yo insight. we'll see you aw. he'll have exclusive interviews with white house chief of staff mark meadows, co-chair of the biden 2020 campaign, representative richmond, and former nba player thomas and wnba star sue bird, of course, after the tune in to "meet the es newscast. and coming up in about 30 minutes from now we will have our weekly chat with nbc bay area political analyst we'll take a look at what the presidential candidates have to do over the next nine weeks to win. now to a shake-up on capitol hill regarding election security information. you may have heard this late yesterday. congressional intelligence committees will no longer get in-person briefings about election security and foreign

ti interference. this decision to halt the briefings is concern over leaks. house speaker nancy pelosi and intelligence chairman adam schiff are in a joint statement they write, quote, this is a ation of its lawful responsibility to keep the congress currently informed and a betrayal of the public's right to know how foreign powers are trying to subvert our democracy, end quote. the two are threatening to compel compliance. democratic presidential nominee joe biden is accusing president trump of using military troops as props.he com speech at the virtual national guard>> i promise you as presid i'll never put you in the mid a vendettas, i will never use the military as a prop or as a private militia to violate rights of fellow citizens. that's not law and order.

you don't deserve that. the country deservies -- doesn deserve this. >> s promise comes after president trump sent troops to the border with mexico'q and federal mourns shocking loss of actor chadwick boseman, the final tweet posted to boseman's twitter has become tost liked post in twitter history. twitter also is bringing back the black panther hash tag emoji in memory of boseman who passed away after a secret four-year battle with colon cancer. he was just 43. okay, web are going to lighten the mood. it's been a special weekend for us. we teamed up to clear the shelters. in previous years shelters would be filled with people rescue pets but, of course, during this pandemic most adoptions are being done virtually. in berkeley people are coming

out for an adoption and vaccination cling. that's where marcus was w+rday morning. in t one man spoke about his joy of virtually adopting a new pet. >> he's really playful and ' really, really cute. i'm really excited to get him home. >> init washington there, "today in the bay" anchor laura garcia was taking part as well in palo ton. telemundo 48 was also out. so far this month more than 1,800 animals in been adopted f shelters. more than $55,000 has been raised for shelters. we dol want to thank you allqq mu helping our effort. no pressure to anybody but i believe, kira klapper, the kitty still has not been adopted at pets in need in redwood city. i will throw that out there. time to collected in withx viay arana for a look at our microclimate forecast who has a rescue dog herself.

we'll see the clouds linger around the coastline. what's going to happen for today? the spare the air alert will be in effect still for is because uality is expected to remain pretty unhealthy today. now there is a little bit of a shift that could happen8#o some areas you'll notice will go from good air quality, really early in the morning. then as the winds begin to mix out it becomesd numbers for today when it comes to the air quality. a sgh improvement between 3:00 and 7:00 as we see some winds kicking up. i know you're thinking winds and fires, not a1 good combination. but it looks like these will be breezy winds. the good news about that it's not going to be extremely gusty but just enough winds to mix out some of that air. you can see between 10, 15 miles per hour down through the south bay, in through orinda, napa, the hilltween 3:00 and 7:00. evening and then we get- a lite

bit of a change. it's going to come in the form of a warm-up today's daytime highs you'll notice will be slightly warmer than we saw yesterday. a closer look, mid-80s in the south bay. 72 in oakland. we're not going to get much warming for the coastline or the bay. san francisco will remain in the 60s. pushing the time line forward ahead to monday we have a ridge east that will start to build. it will dry us out and us up heading into monday afternoon. notice what happens in concord and danville, temperatures start to go up by as much as five degrees and heading into tuesday we have more valley 90s, late day sea breeze, and that's where the concern, of course, for the fires will kick in because anytime that we see really dry conditions, little to no humidity, there's the concern for that. western heat wile for us because of the high pressure again over the next several days. a closer look at your seven-day

just shy of 7:45. we still have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming uphe conveions are i the campaign trail. political analyst larry gerston joins usto discuss what it will take for either president trump or former vice president joe biden to win.

with the two political party nominating conventions in the rear-view mirror we now focus on the remaining nine weeks leading up to theovrd election. what must each presidential candidate and their parties do to win? nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins us now. good morning to you, larry. great to see you as always. >> good morning. >> let's begin with the big picture zeroing in on each side. who do you think the democrats first will target? >> let's be clear about a couple

of things. first of all we want to be careful when we talk about who they will target. even groups have divisions within. that being the case there are certain groups that each side will go after as you suggested. talking about the democrats minorities are a big part of the coalition, also college educated folks are, and historically people -- older people, seniors, if you will, those kinds of folks are a big part of the coalition. these are the folks that they really like. also more suburban women have become a big part of the democratic coalition. and because of that, really we've seen women go way over to the democratic side in the last couple of years. >> and how about republicans? who do you think they'll zero in on to sway their vote? >> yeah. republicans -- i should say folks who are÷v7 evangelicals

republicans, also blue collar voters have become increasingly republican, and that's a source of concern for democrats, by the way.nally, those folks who are anti-immigrant, fall into the fold more than the democratic fold. i repeat, all of these folks could go in different directions, one way or the other. no group is monolithic. we do see these tendencies and it's bothered both of them in a way. democrats want to get the blue collar votes back. these groups were on the other side and that's what's made this election perhaps more interesting than any other in the past. >> i mean, if anything unpredictable in 2020. i feel we in years past it was fo fo formlaic. >> things that pop up particularly as we get to the

end. that's when things get out of control. if someone commits a gaffe during one of those debates, boy, that could be costly as you get down toward the end. a crisis that comes up. that suddenly imperils the country or gets people worried about something or other, the president gets involved. that could be involved as a problem. a controversial ad could cost a campaign or a key endorsement by someone you never expected if a former president went in a different direction, for example. that blows things up and makes things very difficult. those are all the uncertainties, if you will, that drive campaign managers nuts because they try to control for everything possible but at the end of the day, kira, especially when you get down to the last few weeks, these kinds of things can upset the apple cart and turn a campaign upside-down. that, by the way, for people li me makes these things so interesting. you never know.

you never know until the end exactly how things are going to fall out. >> yeah, that's sort of your job security we can say. and that's like chuck todd was saying earlier that really it depends how things play out in the next two months in our country with coronavirus, with civil and who bears the brunt of that or gets to rest on their laurels for how they take care of it. >> you're right because the democrats have seized the coronavirus and, more importantly, what they say is the president's mismanagement of the coronavirus and that he's not fit to be president because of 180,000 deaths and what not. the republicans have seized law and order elements. president trump has gone very hard on that. and so which of these two issues are likely to upset or concern voters more? right now if it was today it would be coronavirus. again, as you said at the beginning, nine long weeks to go. >> and too soon to tell. as we always seem to say, stay

tuned. larry, thank you so much, as always. good morning. it is 7:52 almost. so far right now we're seeing vianey arana will have a final look at the weather after the cloud cover, low clouds and,g.s. break. l a spare the air alert is in place, which is why we remain under a microclimate alert. what we can expect for today and the workweek ahead. right now you can see the fog. it will be a lot slower to clea. not much heating around the coastline either. 60s for areas like san francisco, half moon bay. further inland a great view of san jose there. that fog and visibility is down to about three miles in santa rosa. limited visibility as well as through san francisco. portions of oakland that fog starting to creep into mountain view. a little bit better when it comes to the clearing for inland areas. the low clouds might linger longer. let's talk about the air quality now. of course as you know when it
