quality at the ground level that we've had over the last 25 days. today is the record straight 25th straight spare the air day. unhealthy for all groups. limit outdoor activity. if you have to go out wear an n95 mask and keep the kids inside. some businesses may choose to keep the doors closed d yesterd. another hit for businesses trying to stay afloat during the pandemic. >> very concerning the air quality out there. the 25th straight spare the air alert day, kari. and we are looking at some really bad numbers here. we can even see it as we look at some of the cameras. we also have some fog near the coastline and that's been trapping a lot of that smoke, so we're looking at unhealthy air quality, what we call purple air for the north bay as well as extending over to oakland and unhealthy as well for much of the peninsula and the east bay. we are seeing air quality that

will be bothering you if you have breathing problems in the south county and the thick smoke will keep our temperatures down today. >> we'll be back with another local news update in half an hour.

regulations. nearly three dozen of those students have been suspended. the university did not give specific details on what led to the sanctions, but coronavirus cases at the school have climbed to nearly 1900 since on-campus classes started back on august 19th. officials in knoxville, tennessee, are on the lookout this morning for a tiger on the loose. a sheriff's deputy spotted the tiger on wednesday night inside an industrial park, but he's not the only one. dispatchers received several calls from locals who saw the big cat. >> it's a tiger cub. >> what? >> you heard correctly. it's a tiger cub. >> it's, like, right across the road from our house. >> i think i spotted the tiger in my back yard. >> i like, you what? it's unknown where the tiger came from. the local zoo says it's not missing any animals. they're working with a tiger

sanctuary so if they catch it, that tiger will have a place to live. now to that troubling new warning. it's tied to the presidential election with less than two months to go. microsoft says it is detecting new cyberattacks from russia, china, and iran targeting american voters and both campaigns. keir simmons joins us with the latest on this. good morning. >> reporter: hey, savannah. good morning to you. u.s. intelligence officials briefed back in february others were influencing this election. and now microsoft adding more details. and the scale of it is stunning. microsoft's warning that several foreign countries are trying to interfere with american elections. saying, hackers in russia, china, and iran are actively targeting 2020 campaigns and u.s. think tanks. >> we have been targeted and we expect to be targeted in the future. >> reporter: microsoft says russian state hackers have attacked more than 200 u.s. political organizations. while china's targeted high-profile political organizers including people associated with the biden

campaign. adding iran has attacked personal accounts of people associated with the trump campaign. it's not surprised to see malicious activity directed at us, the trump campaign told us. biden's secretary responding we are prepared. this morning a department of justice official telling nbc news the report broadly fits with what they have been seeing. in 2016 russian military intelligence hacked the clinton campaign. >> 2016 was just the opening. other countries saw what russia did and they're following suit. >> reporter: and now it's more sophisticated. microsoft describes constantly changing ip addresses. london journalist laura walters says she was tricked by a russian propaganda organization into writing an article. >> her english was fantastic. it wasn't just it was correct.

it sound sod natural. >> reporter: facebook pulled down all the site's social media posts. the article was about chinese election meddling. she now fears even an email thanking her for her work was written by a russian bot. >> i'd like to express our deep gratitude for your work. it's hard to believe how totalitarian countries like china or russia are finding new ways to meddle. >> reporter: pretty ironic. >> it is so ironic. >> reporter: president putin taking a similar ironic tone when i asked him at a conference last year about his intervening in elections. is russia attempting to influence the 2020 elections in the united states? >> translator: i'll tell you in a secret, yes, we'll definitely intervene. it's a secret so that everybody can laugh. >> not funny, keir. not in the least. are there any indications that the hacking attempts by any of these countries actually worked? >> reporter: that's a good question, savannah.

actually senior doj officials tell me that they think they have learned lessons and they are being more effective at tackling in particular what they call the hack and put them in public to influence the vote. not surprisingly, too, savannah, china and russia pushing back this morning china's foreign ministry saying the u.s. election is an internal affair and we have no interest or intention to interfere in it. the russian foreign ministry saying the russian federation did not interfere, is not interfering, and will not in any way interfere. then again, savannah, they would say that, wouldn't they? >> okay.

yeah keir, stay on it thank you very much. now to our ongoing coronavirus series "the new normal." we learn this week that restaurants here in new york city will soon be allowed to reopen for indoor dining for the first time in months it's a major milestone, but it's a milestone that comes as the center for disease control suggests eating out may put you at higher risk for covid-19. tom costello is back with a closer look at this one. hey, tom >> reporter: hey, craig. back in your old hood. this is the now normal this is bethesda, maryland they've closed down the streets allowing the restaurants to come out, put their tables outside s. what do you do when the weather turns cooler and everybody starts moving back inside? how do you make that less risky? order up. a growing number of restaurants people can eat outdoors. it's worked very, very well. what do you do when the weather turns cooler and everybody starts moving back inside? how do you make that less risky? order up a growing number of restaurants across the country are now trying to rebound slowly welcoming customers back inside. >> it's been a roller coaster of emotions for us in the industry months. while >> reporter: she sai so i think that they feel pretty

safe >> reporter: but as more people decide to dine in, there are new concerns about increased risks for covid-19 new research from the cdc looked at hundreds of people with coronavirus symptoms and found those who tested positive were about twice as likely to have reported dining at a restaurant in the two weeks before they got sick although the study did not differentiate between indoor and outdoor dining what is it about a restaurant or a bar environment that might put people at greater risk >> what we're learning about this virus are the factors that you see in a restaurant put you people, low ventilation. that's when outbreaks occur. >> reporter: experts say at higher risk no mask, time indoors, a lot of people, low ventilation. that's when outbreaks occur. >> reporter: experts say when it comes to indoor dining, air flow is key especially since people are unable to wear masks while eating and drinking. >> in many restaurants you might have an air conditioner only circulating air and no filtration. that will allow a buildup of airborne viral particles >> reporter: he says the key is

circulating in fresh air from the outside and ensuring that air isn't just blowing in one direction potentially transmitting particles from an infected person to someone at a table downwind >> one, two, three it's all over this >> reporter: soon new york city will start to allow some indoor dining at 25% capacity but in the big apple and other major cities, space comes at a premium. and some restaurants are still trying to figure out how to safely let people back in. down in miami where things are slowly getting back to normal, concerns about what another spike could do >> it would be devastating another shutdown, i do not >> reporter: by the way, florida just announced last night it foresee the industry making it >> reporter: by the way, florida just announced last night it will allow restaurants to reopen at 50% capacity, but they just had 200 deaths reported

yesterday. that's the highest in three weeks. craig? >> and bars as well down in florida soon set to reopen as well tom, while we have you, there's this new study showing some worrying details on the risk that this virus poses to young people what more can you tell us about that >> reporter: well, you know,e y reduced risk. but har that's right we've been thinking all along the young people were at a reduced risk but harvard just conducted a very extensive study and they found, in fact, 20% of young people who are hospitalized required intensive care or being on a ventilator. 10% of those people who were actually in a hospital needed to be ventilated. and then they go on to report the death rate for younger people, 2.7% so the conclusion from the harvard researchers is that this is very much a deadly disease and yes, it can be deadly for young people as well >> all right troubling.

the air unhealthy for all groups. limit activity outside as much as you can. if you have to go out wear an n95 mask and keep the kids inside. some businesses may choose to keep the doors closed altogether to keep workers and patrons safe as some san francisco businesses did yesterday. another hit for businesses trying to stay afloat during the pandemic. the air conditions very concerning out there. kari has a look at our forecast. and we've seen the smoke so thick this morning. this is unhealthy for everyone as we take a look at our numbers here. this measures the particulate matter in the air, and it's just very unhealthy especially in the north bay leading to the east bay. we've seen more dense fog that's developed near the coastline that's been creating some smoggy conditions as well. our temperatures stay in the 60s because the thick smoke is keeping our temperatures down. and we will gradually warm up over the next few days. there's also the possibility of a schihift in the wind could

improve air quality early next week. we'll continue to watch out for that, laura. oh, we will hope that will be the case, thanks so much. and thank you for joining us as well. ♪
