>> and i'm marcus washington. marin and san mateo counties get the okay to let people in. bob redell has the latest. >> reporter: this means that movie theaters can reopen at reduced capacity, restaurants can resume indoor dining, also at reduced capacity and gyms like 24-hour fitness behind me in redwood city will be allowed to have members in again as long as they don't exceed 10%. they moved from the purple tier to the less restrictive tier of red republicing. you have several counties still in the purple tier.

businesses like fitness club will reopen and the owner says he'll have five customers in at a time instead of 50. he says he's spent tens of thousands of dollars on covid-19 protections. the owner is grateful his landlord worked with him during the shutdown to allow him to stay in business and reopen today. >> at this point, just being the fact that we're still here is a blessing. so five people is better than no people. something is better than nothing. >> but just bec tngs indoors do mean that they necessarily will, at least not right away. we spoke with one person who will wait, telling us it's much more dangerous to be indoors as

opposed to outdoors. that person referring to their chances of contracting covid. reporting live here in redwood city. >> thank you very much, bob. happening today, the u.s. is ramping up its covid vaccine rollout. tracey potts, walgreens will follow the lead of cvs and administer those vaccines. >> right. they'll be opening up so the public can get those vaccines. the is relatively limited but it's a start, especially for people waiting appointments in other places. back in washington, let's look at the president's relief plan,

still not up for a vote on capitol hill. the house is going to consider the $1.9 trillion plan on friday. that's not a final vote and it could be with support of democrats only as they try to move this to the senate and get it done before the middle of march when unemployment runs out. >> also on capitol hill, riot hearings are happening this week. we saw one yesterday with law enforcement officials talking about why they weren't prepared for the attack on the capitol last month and why they did not get the intelligence beforehand that would have urged them to go ahead and get more troops in place to protect the building and its people. >> we all agreed that the intelligence did not support the troops and collectively decided to let it go.

>> turns out the fbi's warning the day before the attack didn't make it up. chain of command. now we expect to hear more about this next week. the fbi, homeland security and officials from the pentagon will be testifying about what they knew about the attack. laura? >> tracie potts live from washington, thank you very much. 6:05 right now. developing now, golf legend tiger woods recovering from surgery in southern california after suffering serious injuries. his suv went down an embankment yesterday morning. rescuers say he was trapped in that wreckage. we have a tweet his team posted last night with details from the chief medical officer at harbor ucla medical center. it says woods is awake and

responsive. a live look at sfo. good news if you're planning to travel long distance. the strict nonessential travel quarantine order is now called an advisory and that means you're now no longer required to quarantine for ten days after returning from outside of 150 miles. they're hoping this will boost occupancy rates. >> we want our employees to get back to work. in order to do that, we have to have guests at our hotels. >> while the travel order is only an advisory, officials recommend you follow state guidelines about nonessential travel. >> the fda is endorsing johnson & johnson for itsaccine for fda use.

the big question now looming over the vaccine is what are you willing to do to get the shot? reports suggest some people here in the bay area are jumping the line for the vaccine and the process. some people in marin are apparently cheating the system. >> reporter: yes, good morning. this revelation is revealing that some marin county residents are using codes meant for the black and latino community to further their place in line to get the vaccination. the report from the gate reveals some residents are sharing codes used for those communities to secure appointments at the oakland coliseum. those using the codes are not part of the black and latino communities. the codes that have seen significantly higher cases of covid. for example, almeida county department of health says 32,000

of the people who have the virus identified as hispanic or latino, compared to 10,000 cases where the individuals were identified as white. this isn't just a problem in the bay area. l.a. times reporting that some areas around l.a. also seeing this as a problem, folks using the codes meant for underserved or disproportionately impacted communities. one of the solutions here in almeida county is folks are being given a link to receive a spot and will receive a code to further secure their spot. so some things are being put in place to avoid hopping in line but those codes are meant for those really impacted kmunds severely hit by covid. we're hoping to see more barriers put in place to prevent that from happening.

>> go to the web site, enter your state, occupation and age, it will show you the closest locations and when to get the vaccine. go to planyourvaccine .com. >> let's take a look at the forecast and a live look outside. the sun's arrival across the bay area. a nice start to another nice day. it was actually quite warm yesterday, kari. >> and it's nice that the days are getting longer, too, so we can enjoy a little bit more of that. yesterday at 6:00 i was like, hey, there's still a little bit of light in the sky. we're seeing that now with our earlier sunrise, too. our temperatures today will be just a touch cooler compared to yesterday afternoon and the winds will really start to pick up today. we can see some of our mountain gusts reaching 65 miles per hour

but our forecast stays dry as we go into the next several days. we're home schooling and as we take a look at those chances to get out in the back yard and enjoy that sunshine, we're going to see our san raphael temperatures going from the mid 50s to upper 60s today. mike, how is the commute rolling? >> great, except for the bay bridge. it's been very active. we expect the metering lights to be turned on right about now and suddenly we see this filled in. the metering lights turned on at about 6:04 and this backup happened in three, four minutes. so the map shows you slow from the opening side, the san mateo bridge is a great alternate for you. back over to you. >> thank you very much. it's try it before you buy it. coming up next, the test drive

offer from samsung on its foldable smart phones, but you're going to have to act fast. >> and a silicon institution closes its doors. the futures are down and mortgage rates go up. >> and coming up at 6:25, a teach erp that went viral for this teaching style gets a big surprise from ellen today. but we have a preview for you coming up in just a bit.

coming up in a few minutes, the microclimate and high winds. >> it could get gusty across the bay bridge. look at the lights jammed up just pass treasure island. some vehicle ran out of gas, backing up the span, as well as the toll plaza just as the metering lights were turned on. things really slowed down out of oakland. well, good morning. a very happy wednesday to you as well. tracy earlier was touching on

joe biden's executive earlier today addressing the manufacturing supply chain that has such an effect on the bay area, a huge effect with the manufacturer of chips as well as cell phones they go into and electric cars and all kinds of other things. materials called rare earths and i'm probably going to horrify both material scientists and geologists by slaughtering the pronunciation of some of these elements but they are so important to silicon valley. tesla cannot build a single car if it doesn't have neodinnium. this is a picture from state-run media showing president xi touring a plant. everybody got the message. president biden will sign an executive order today that doesn't do much on its face but

at least orders a study into the problem. china can shut down silicon valley if it wanted to. >> or news, the chief financial officer of gamestop is stepping down. the company has not said why. and fry's put this announcement, after 36 years in business, fry's made the difficult decision to close down permanently. fry's was the go-to place for television and computers and small electronic smarts. not unusual for a silicon valley engineer to stop by and grab a tiny transistor on hurch

hour. i'm sure amazon has what lot to do with it as well. i think about how rare it is that we go into stores these days. maybe one every two weeks possibly. >> if that. >> stores. >> yeah. and that's tough. imagine for small businesses just trying to make it as well. >> yeah. >> thanks so much, scott. >> it's 6:17 right now. more companies plan to make temporary jobs a permanent part of their post-pandemic workforce. that's according to the staffing firm people ready. the firm is hiring a nationwide hiring event this week. 6:17 right now. samsung is taking you back to the late 90s or early 2000s to

the flip phone days. it's offing people 100 days to test drive its new foldable cell phone. after 100 days if you don't like the phone, you can return it. >> the new york knicks is the latest nba team to welcome back fans. last night fans sat in madison square garden at 10% capacity to watch the golden state warriors win the game 114-106. more and more sporting venues are opening their doors with limited capacity, 21 nfl stadiums, 11 nhl arenas and 14 nba arenas. >> could we be creeping back to a little bit of normal? we'll see. it's not normal to have the great temperatures, although we're enjoying it. >> we're enjoying it but at the same time you're thinking is this really mid february?

yeah. we'll have the warm temperatures continue today. everything is really starting to bloom out there. you probably don't need me to remind you that the pollen count is high if you suffer from allergies. maybe just that extra reminder to take that medication before you head out the door. you may be allergic to cedar, ash, elm or pine trees. we've all been enjoying this nice weather as we make plans to head out for a hike today. let's head to the east bay. we'll see our temperatures for the middle of the day reaching into the upper 60s. we'll come down just a few degrees compared to yesterday but it's still going to be above average as we are going to reach into the low 70s and the south bay up to 72 in martinez in oakland and 70 today in rosa. our winds will really start to pick up. that's the other thing i'm shaded in yellow, that's where we have a wind advisory that goes into

effect at 10:00 this morning, it continues through 10:00 this evening and some of those mountains gusts may reach 65 miles per hour. nice to see all of the greenery out there across the bay area but due to the lack of rain and those high winds, we could see things turning brown once again, all of the vegetation really drying out as high pressure blocks our chances of getting any rain here. as we go through this seven-day forecast, it will be windy and warm today. and as we go through slightly cooler air on saturday, we'll have another event with high winds and the lack of rain continues into early next week with some slightly warmer-than-normal temperatures. mike, you've been watching some spots where it started>>well, t problem for the bay bridge commute right now but the bay bridge commute is a problem right now. look at the toll plaza where the lanes have filled in very quickly after the metering

lights were turned on just after 6 a.m. they had to really slam them down as we look at a map. a disabled vehicle out of gas over on the right side. that's jammed up traffic all the way back to and including the toll plaza itself. let's get a wider view. we're going to zoom into alternates. we have bart that takes you under the water. the richmond and san raphael bridge are better choices right now if you're leaving oakland. >> thank you, mike. and bay area gets a shout out on daytime talk shows. first, the big surprise ellen has for one bay area teacher and raich emray has a surprise for one bay area dog rescue. >> and first our coverage on

climate coverage isn't just on

boeing is carrying out an order to inspect 747 aircraft. in colorado, a blown engine sent debris raining down over denver.

it's the only u.s. airline using the kind of engine that actually blew on saturday. the order only applies to those planes. a massive explosion in texas after a train and a semi truck collided. it happened about 24 hours ago in the town of cameron, about an hour away from austin. thick black smoke filled the air as that fire burned. thetrain that was hit was carry coal, gasoline and other nontoxic materials. amazingly no one was injured. >> ellen channelling her inner oprah winfrey today and giving a deserving bay area principal a big surprise. >> get in that car! get in that car! >> oh my goodness! >> and you get a car! that's kenneth farr, the principal at st. davis catholic

>> you might be thinking what is the purpose of doing that? the district says there's a reason for the plan. they say it allows their 3,500 high schoolers to interact with their teachers and peers in a gradual way in order to ease the fears of returning and get everybody used to the safety protocols for about three weeks before transitioning students back to part time if conditions allow. all students are on campus for one hour for one class on wednesdays. the classes are on a weekly rotations so students will eventually see all of their teachers. schools will offer in-person support like tutoring and counseling and students can opt out if they are not comfortable. all students will eventually return part time in the spring if santa clara county is at that point in the red or orange here and most of the staff is vaccinated. speaking of vaccines, san

francisco is starting to give shots to teachers and health care workers, which was a big sticking point to returning to in-person instruction in san francisco. last night the board approved a tentative agreement with unions with provisions for testing, ventilation, ppe and screening protocols. there is still no firm date for students to return to campus. we're tracking school openings all around the bay area. in the south bay, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> a 27-year-old southern california man is talking for the first time about being beaten up one week ago, attack he believes was a hate crime. he is a current air force member and community activist. he says last week he was walking in korea town and he was ju jum

"dare mighty things" was a famous line from president theodore roosevelt and has coordinates for the mission's headquarters in pasadena. 6:37. time to get a look at the forecast for you. how's it looking for us today kari? >> we're waking up to a beautiful sunrise. it's going to be another nice

day. the only thing we'll have to really watch will be those high winds that will pick up and we will have a wind advisory going into effect at 10:00 this morning. some of our mountain gusts may reach 5 miles per hour. and it will be staying dry over the next few days. so if you're getting ready to head up and out the door, this is a live look in the tri-valley as we get ready for that commute with our start this morning in the low 40s, make sure you have those sunglasses today. it going to be bright and sunny, as well as warm. we'll talk about what's ahead in the forecast coming up. any problems for the morning commute? >> well, one fewer problem butch -- but we still have a delay. we see a quick recovery through the tunnel itself past where there was a disabled vehicle. but that disabled vehicle caused the backup at the toll plazia

that is still there. we'll continue to see a ripple there. we already see middle lanes moving a little better now. add about ten minutes on to your drive from the oakland side. san mateo bridge open as well, some using that as an alternate. >> coming up mention, one bay area community's push to make public transit safer for young women. >> the white house said it is standing by the nomination of a very controversial nominee. we'll have the very latest coming up. we'll take you out to the big board. >> but first for today's black history month, we shine the spotlight on a bay area education pioneer. dr. ruth b. love began her career teaching in oakland. she was appointed to school

superintendent in 1975 following the assassination of marcus foster, making her the first female to hold that role. she left in 1981 to going superintendent of schools in chicago. in 2015, the mayor named april 26 dr. ruth love day for her contributions to the city of oakland.

nefertiti: as a young girl i was always comparing myself to my sisters. they were always thin and i wasn't... i ate a lot of food. and then after i had my son it was really difficult to lose the baby weight, and everything took so much time and energy and i didn't have that. and then i tried noom, it was easy and it was super convenient. it's effective, i'd say it's life changing. my my name is nefertiri and noom worked for me. visit noom.com and lose the weight for good.

right now at 6:43, we're just a few hours away from a wind advisory going up for all of our bay area hills and mountains above 1,000 feet. some of those gusts may reach up to 65 miles per hour. the valleys are still going to be breezy. we'll talk about that and our forecast coming up in a few minutes. president biden standing behind one of his most controversial nominees. >> and neera tanden has not made a lot of friends in the senate. >> no, not at all. the senate will vote to confirm her or deny her as office of management and budget. she's well qualified but she

spent a lot of time on twitter, calling a lot of people names, and she says susan collins is criminally ignorant and there were more than a thousand other tweets thee sleeted after joe biden won the presidential election. not only does tanden not have the support of the people she called names, even the slow-to-anger senators like mitt romney say she is not right for the job. political columnists are arguing both sides of this. matt lewis points out if you want civility to return to washington, you can't say, well, they did it, too. neera tanden's nomination has to die so decency can live again. it seems extremely unlikely that tanden will get her job. joe manchin will vote against

her. the chance of finding a republican to vote yes is small. but the white house is not backing down. >> the president's focus is on working towards the confirmation of neera tanden to be the omb director. a freight train of other nominations, merrick garland, the nomination for attorney general, is finished with his general. the nomination will go to a vote on the committee. deb holland facts a second day ofquestioning. javier bacera has competition in his position for health and human services. >> i'm hard pressed to see any way such a radical and underqualified nominee should fill such a critical post at this crucial time. >> now here's the thing. bacera does not need mitch mcconnell's approval. with 50/50 in the senate, if all

the democrats vote yes, she's in. that's tanden's problem, she has republicans and democrats opposing her. it could be biden's first major defeat in the senate. we're talking about it on twitter. 6:46 right now. happening today, linda thomas greenfield just confirmed to be the next u.s. ambassador to the united nations will be sworn in by vice president kamala harris. harris will also swear in tom vilsack as secretary of state of agriculture. he held the same cabinet position during the obama administration. >> new this morning, berkeley leaders have approved a new set of police department reforms meant to eliminate unnecessary stops and hold officers more accountable. reforms include eliminating stops for low-level offenses requiring written consent for all consent searches and ending requests for parole and probation status. the police association objected to the measures issuing a

statement in part saying that it was never consulted ahead of time. >> happening today, a.c. transit leaders will unveil a remindingt appropriate behaviors on busses and address gender-based bus assaults and best ways to improve safety. this morning we continue our "who inspires me" series as part of our special black history month coverage. we speak about people who have had a significant influence in their lives. >> sierra, you love this story. you tell us your grandmother inspired your career in journalism. >> exactly. my grandmother, 97 years young, we share a love of anything

sweet, shoes, we also share a love of writing and a love of news. my grandmother, she graduated top of her class from her high school outside of cleveland. from a young age, she always knew she wanted to write for the paper. fresh out of high school, the fastest shorthand writer in the school, she reached out to newspapers for a job position and was told the job wasn't for colored girls. she took a job for a county judge and she wrote there for years and trans$ to radiology transcriertranscriber. when one door closes, another door opens. those jobs allowed her to travel. she got to see the world, something not a lot of women of her race and age did at the time. these days she's spending her time watching "jeopardy," doing

cross word puzzles and she still loves to write. my mother has boxes of journals written from over the decades where she's archiving what's happened in the community and the family over a number of years. momber, if you're watching good morning. she loves watching us. >> maybe you could write a book with all of those journals. >> i was thinking yeah, or even a tv series over the years. grandma is still working. >> i love how all of you have shared stories of your ancestors, which would be lovely to see and hear and appreciate. >> we're able to share thosegrandmother. >> and grandmother and my

grandfather, they're all pretty much the sunshine of our lives. we do what we do to hopefully make it proud. they did what they do to make it better for us and we're passing that on. thank you to all of the ancestors out there and thank you for everybody sharing their stories, too. let's get some sunshine of our own from the bay area. kari, it's going to be a good one out there today. >> yes. it's starting out very nice on this wednesday morning. feels a little cool of course as i take a live look outside in san francisco. it will be another morning to get those cameras ready and snap some pictures when you see that sunrise. we'll get farther to the north bay in san raphael and temperatures at 9:00. maybe a little too cool to take the laptop outside but i think by later in the morning, you'll be wanting to enjoy that sunshine. up to 71 degrees in san jose, 70

will be the high in livermore with napa reaching 69. we do have a concern today with the winds picking up, you may want to spend a little more time in the back yard making sure everything is secure because here we are at 11:00 this morning and we were starting to see the winds pick up in parts of the north bay up to about 20 to 25 miles per hour. we may see those gusts increasing later today into the evening and so this may be enough to knock down some tree branches, knock down a few things in the yard and we'll see things calming down late tonight and early tomorrow. we have high pressure moving away with the arrival of slightly cooler temperatures and low pressure to the north. that's what's going to make those winds rush across the bay area. still no rain in the forecast over the next several days. so we continue on with a lot of sunshine here but our temperatures will be coming down a few more degrees. back to more seasonable weather

over the weekend into early next week. for san francisco expect those temperatures mostly in the upper 60s, trending to some low 60s as we head into the weekend and next week. now, heading out the door, mike, you've been watching the roads. any crashes or problems out there? >> well, let's take it both sides. you might give a thumbs down to this live picture of the bay bridge toll plaza because of the backup which formed quickly after a disabled vehicle. a car ran out of gas. the disabled vehicle was cleared from the bridge and a very quick recovery across the span but ou the east shore freeway and the maze, it will take a while because the metering lights are keeping the bridge span clear. the san mateo bridge still very

clear. north 101 is looking pretty good once again. back to you. thanks, mike. happening now, a multi-million dollar home in washington, d.c. burned to the ground. it quickly spread to two nearby homes. this morning at least three people are without a place to live and one firefighter is recovering. the home was under renovation at the time. >> coming up next, a quick look at our top stories, including moving on up into the red covid tier. the long-awaited reopenings expected as soon as today for two bay area counties. you're watching "today in the bay."

6:56. here's a quick look at our top stories we're following, including new freedom starting today for some bay area businesses. >> marin and san mateo counties are making the switch to the red. bob, is it still too early to see any difference out there? >> well, today's when things are going to start to loosen up in these two counties. that means indoor dining can resume at reduced capacity, movie theaters can reopen. again, not at full capacity, reduced capacity. you can see this 24-hour fitness behind me, you can see people lining up for the first time in

months they've been able to line up to go inside instead of having to use the outdoor tent, as long as indoor fitness and the other gyms stay at 10% capacity, they'll be within the rules. yesterday the state gave marin and sant mateo counties permission to use to the less restrictive red tiers of reopening. seven counties are still in the purple tier of reopening. businesses lik this club will have five customers inside. the owner says he's spent tens of thousands of dollars on covid protections. the owner is grateful his landlord worked with him during the shutdown to allow him to

stay in business and reopen today. >> at this point just being the fact that we're still here is a blessing. so five people is better than no people. something is better than nothing. >> but just because people can do more things indoors does not necessarily mean they will, at least not right away. we spoke with one person who will wait, telling us it's much more dangerous to be indoors as opposed to outdoors when it comes to reducing the risk of catching covid. reporting live here in redwood city, bob redell, "today in the legend tiger woods recovering from surgery in southern california after suffering serious injuries in a rollover car crash. his suv went down an embankment yesterday morning. the worst of the injuries were to his legs and feet. president obama tweeting here's to a speedy recovery for the
