good friday morning to you. i'm marcus washington. >> millions more californians are about to become eligible for covid vaccinations. the latest boost as one mass vaccination site becomes the first one to roll out the johnson & johnson vaccine. >> so how many doses are we talking about here, pete. >> well, we're talking about a thousand doses that will be administered and that will only go to the folks who are eligible. so we're talking about the group in the phase 1a and phase 1b, folks 65 and older, as well as health care workers and educators to name a few folks. and that group alone accounts for an estimated 15 million residents but beginning monday we'll see the influx where it

will be 4.4 million californians will become eligible if you have certain health conditions. this ranges from a number of health conditions like cancer and heart disease to folks who are already severely obese. now, the influx of eligible residents is causing concern, there's already a backlog and the johnson & johnson isn't expected to ship until later this month. that's why they're urging you to reach out to your health care professional first. well, president biden is making his new $2 trillion -- nearly $2 trillion covid relief official. this follows the first-ever primetime address to the nation. susan mcginness has more on the plan to end the pandemic. susan? >> reporter: marcus, good morning. that's right.

because again, it will be more competitive if the entire community has access to appointments. >> it's a good goal to achieve, definitely. it would be really nice to get vaccinated. >> governor newsom said he's looking forward to work together to make this important goal a reality. sad development in the attack of an elderly asian man in oakland. it is now a homicide case. "today in the bay's" thom jensen is live outside the court hours. beyond the hate crime this the adding to the fuel to a recall effort. >> reporter: it sure is. a lot of people, marcus -- good morning, no doubt asking about whether or not bodine, the san francisco district attorney was too lenient in releasing the man

in this crime. pak ho, 75-year-old oak land man, died at high land hospital yesterday. he was attacked, assaulted critically during a robbery while on a morning walk tuesday near oakland's lake merritt. alameda prosecutors say that baylor, 26-year-old teaunte baylor, was the person who did it. he was arrested last year in san francisco and he spent a hundred days before being released and wearing an ankle bracelet. bodine is answering questions about why bailey was freed. >> it was from an evidently standpoint a very weak case. we held him in the san francisco jail for 179 days and given the state of the evidence we couldn't hold him longer than that.

>> reporter: a family friend said that ho's three daughters were by his side when he died. there have been a number of attacks on asian americans across the nation and the pay area has not been immune to it. that was something that the president talked about right after he addressed covid concerns in the primetime address. oakland pd and prosecutors here are now wrestling with whether there was a hate crime or a crime of opportunity but at 9:00 a.m., they plan to arraign teaunte baylor -- bailey, on the death of pak ho. >> thank you. now, you at home, you can help stop the effort -- to stop hate, the effort to stop hate. we have all partnered with the asian pacific fund and we will

provide grants to organizations working to stop attacks against the asian and asian-american community. if you want to donate we have added a link to our when website, nbcbayarea.com. there's a saying in san francisco, a notorious one. if you haven't had your car broken into then you're truly not living in the city. supervisor safi posted this video of his shattered car window. it happened right in front of city hall. he was actually there for a hearing on shoplifting and theft. the chronicle is reporting that the car break-in in the city, the trends are actually going down. live report out of fremont this morning. fremont just named the happiest city in the u.s. go fremont. that's according to a new wallet hub survey. we looked at emotional and physical well-being, employment and location. san jose was number five and the

least happy -- detroit. here in the bay area, sometimes that sunshine makes you happy. >> even detroit. >> yeah, even detroit. >> i'll take fremont. >> vianey, how is it looking today? a lot of sunshine maybe? >> yeah. we have got so much sunshine. i mean, we've got the high pressure that's going to kick up a notch including our temperatures. right now though, it's still kind of cold. i mean, 30s and 40s to start our morning. 34 in morgan hill. and binks has had to wear his sweater or he refuses to go outside. a majority of the activity now down in southern l.a., they have some rain that pushed through late last night. and i'll talk about our next rain chance in just a few

minutes. mike? vianey, you have to show binks recent weather from last week in texas and he'll be glad that you brought him to california. the headlights are moving smoothly toward us. and the map shows where it was facing, they're headed over to the dublin interchange and there's a crash reported there. do be careful over there. we're looking at no slowing for the stretch but the green may change. and there are more folks coming out of the alt month and i haven't seen the slowing since it happened a few moments ago. no problems through the toll plaza. >> thanks. be honest, do you share your netflix password? next, the crackdown that could be coming that could change the way you watch some of your favorite shows. an airline ceo tells his employees you remember that notification that you're being

filing the production line is off line. no beer being made. united airlines said it's canceling the most recent furlough that was supposed to hit workers at sfo, this after the stimulus bill was made into law. airlines stand to benefit. united one of the largest employers in is an mateo county. >> if you have one of the notices, tear it up. there won't be any furloughs in april and with vaccinations on the rise, hopefully never again. president biden and vice president harris will travel to several states and explain what's in the stimulus package. it can mean some poor families get thousands of dollars in pre will be getting health care for free. >> others are scaling back plans to lay off,

because of the stimulus and the unexpected speed at which people are being vaccinated. the stock market which hit new records again on the dow has most of the good news already priced in. we may not see much of a rise today. even more money may be coming your way. the regulators said you pay too much for the car insurance. companies returned about $1.75 billion to consumers or about 9%. california's insurance commission says it should have been 17%. and janet yellen will be on the "today" show talking about the stimulus. many people can see money in their accounts as soon as this weekend. you know, guys, i have been janet yellen fan since she was at cal and she was the president of the san francisco federal reserve. no good for the yellen main yak, i was going to have a fan club. as treasury secretary i will remain unbiassed. >> you can like someone's skills

and remain unbiassed. >> we need to come up with a name. >> the yellen aters. >> i'll work on it. to you share your netflix password with maybe your sister, i don't know. well, it's a common practice and netflix though is cracking down on it. so if someone shares your account password, they may see a message when they log on reading, if you don't live with the owner of this account, you need your own account to keep watching. then they'll have to verify the account through text or email. netflix for a long time looked the other way but with the streaming wars heating up, it is changing its tune. so now you know what to get your sister for her birthday. >> there you go. the weeknd, the artist, is blinded by his latest snub. ♪♪

dorsey is now past $2 million. >> where do you hang the nft in the livingknow. >> that do you do? >> put it on the screen and play it on the screen. for millions of dollars. >> crazy. >> just print it out and say, look what i own. >> i'll give you -- >> give me $69 million and i don't care what you guys think. >> right. >> yeah. put it where you want. >> all right. look, we have something free for you this morning, right, chris? >> that's right. all right, let's see the weather tweet this morning, vianey. well, i'll say this, i don't own any collectible items, you know. the most questions i are get about this fake map art behind me. the reason it's fake is it's a canvas, i found it at a discounted place four years ago. there you go. i think i spent about 25 bucks.

north bay, about 43 degrees. plenty of sunshine, temperatures will eventually climb into the mid and upper 60s by this afternoon. so we'll see nice warming. overall though it's still pretty cold. 41t creek. what about the rain? well, don't got to worry about it today. the weather clearing out in terms of the low pressure system that brought that winter mix on wednesday. and high pressure is going to lead us into the weekend. doppler radar, you can see the majority of the activity down through southern california who got their own weather from the same system that passed through. they say hail down there. my family lives in so cal, and i have their videos. sunny, great skies, 66 in san jose. oakland, 65. napa, 69. san francisco, 60 degrees. so what can we expect over the next seven days because we are tracking more rain on the way. this is going to be a light to moderate system and depending on where you live, the timing of this storm is going to impact you differently on sunday.

so for the most part, it will move in late afternoon to the evening. moving north to south, so likely to hit the south bay a little bit later. but it's also spring forward time. set the clocks ahead if they're not already digital. your phone does it on its own. and you'll technically lose an hour of sleep but you'll gain an hour of sunlight. into morning, a morning chance of light showers as you head out to work and then inland temperatures look at the drop in temps. from mid to upper 60s today into tomorrow. back down into only the upper 50s. mike, over to you. >> all right. so that map behind you is fungible. that hour we lose is not because we can't replace it. nothing replaces a nice smooth ride but we have an issue. folks are working to replace any bad workway and that's going in the northbound direction of 101 and that's why we have the slowing in burling game.

safety for crews as they get set on their weekend. yesterday was a little slow on the east shore freeway, there's not a problem today as we long at the bay bridge toll plaza. the light volume and the drier roads. both combining hopefully to make for a smoother ride. we'll monitor it. marcus, back to you. >> thanks. well, we want to take a moment and clarify a story we brought you on tuesday morning. it involves a mega deal to sell the four buildings and we incorrectly identified that -- the owner of the building. we apologize for that error. next, bay area responds. >> two months, 400 cases, almost 75 grand in total. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura.

businesses during the pandemic. >> cool video. 5:27. next here for you, one of the bay area's largest school districts still uncertain about when students will return to the classroom, but the district leaders have a better idea about where parents stand on the matter. their message, still ahead.

now at 5:30, a new life line for bars and wineries trying to make it in the bay. a live report on the restriction roll back and what it means for your happy hour.

new signs of progress in the vaccine rollout across the nation and here at home in california. we're going to break down the data on the doses already in arms. plus, you probably have seen that video of this uber altercation in san francisco. now a new development, the charges one of the women now faces and the driver's new response. "today in the bay" continues right now. good friday morning to you. it's a good morning when it's a friday. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm kris sanchez in for laura garcia. we want to show you first a little bit more of the purple you now see on covid restrictions tier map. look at this map on this screen. we were all in purple not just -- not very long ago and now many other counties are looking to be in the red. businesses in contra costa county are hoping the red tier can arrive as early as saturday. this comes in the wake of wineries and breweries that

could change your weekend plans this weekend. bob redell is tracking the developments. >> reporter: good morning. under the current course race contra costa can't move there, but right now you need to be at seven cases per hundred thousand people. right now, contra costa county is recording 8.3 cases per 100,000 people per day. that's above the threshold. however, governor newsom said they'd loosen it to 10 per 100,000 people once the state has administered 2 million shots in the low income, underserved communities. that is expected to happen by today. the east bay times reports that contra costa county can move into the red tier 48 hours after those 2 million shots have been handed out. which would be on sunday. sonoma county which is reporting 8.7 cases per 100,000 people

should also be eligible. once in red, as we're well aware, restaurants, gyms, movie theaters they can resume indoor operations at limited capacity. contra costa, sonoma, they're still in move into orange within the next week and half. also starting tomorrow, the state will allow breweries, wineries and distilleries that do not serve food they will allow those businesses to reopen outdoors in purple and red tier counties. prior to this, the businesses had to wait for the orange tier. there are some caveats. customers must have advanced reservation, and all alcohol must be drunk by 8:00 p.m. breweries, wineries and distilleries that do serve food they will operate under the rules for the restaurants.

bob redell, "today in the bay." because l.a. county is in the same boat as contra costa, businesses there are hoping for a similar tier change within days as we're talking about here. so l.a. county, covid cases are down considerably the holi nearly 1,400 new infections just yesterday. and another 101 deaths. happening today, cinemark movie theaters reopening several bay area locations in places like fremont and union city. last week, amc theaters opened theaters in san francisco and south bay. 10% of the u.s. population now fully vaccinated. 11 million californians have now received at least one dose and that includes the 2 million doses for the sub neighborhoods on governor newsom's list. more than 3 million people statewide are now fully

vaccinated. bay area transit making it easier for people to get to the vaccination sites. several agencies like b.a.r.t. have a list of vaccine sites. the agencies offer promotions for vaccine recipients. this website is part of the healthy transit plan which was launched in august detailing how each agency would welcome riders back safely. >> we have been telling people if you're looking for the information on how and where to get the shot, go to planyourvaccine.com. it will pull up the closest site to you. well, it's a familiar plea that we have heard from parent all across the bay area. can you please get my children back into the classroom? today, a group plans to hold a zoom in in front of oakland's technical school. they're urging leaders to strike a deal like other bay area districts to have to reserve that in-person learning. according to the mercury news, a

new survey by the district finds that 58% of elementary school parents are ready to send their kids back to school, but about 42% want to continue distance learning for the remainder of the year. san francisco schools one step closer to their planned reopening next month. last night, the board unanimously approved the reopening plan. the first students back will be preschool to fifth grade, special education students and others with special needs starting april 12th. it will be hybrid at two or four days a week, depending on the class and the teachers will vote on the deal by tomorrow. san jose's oak grove plans to have kids back into the classroom for hybrid learning by early april. early may for transitional kindergarten through third grade. well, san francisco police they're making headway in the case of the recent viral video, driver being assaulted and harassed.

here iteen it just yet. the woman in the red to the left of the screen has now turned herself in. and the one you see right there snatching away the driver's mask is expected to turn herself in soon. police are not yet seeking the third woman. the driver is relieved but he thought that the woman instead of apologizing, they took it to social media. >> i myself believe in second chances, but instead of that, defending what they did made it worse. >> now, the woman in custody now is identified as malaysia king. she was booked in a las vegas, nevada, area jail. police believe that one of the women also used what may have gting out of the car. new details, police are hoping that you recognize the car in this surveillance video on your screen. it's linked to the deadly shooting that happened at about

6:00 in the morning in the evergreen neighborhood. the man was shot in his own driveway and he died in the arms of family members that morning. the get away car is believed to be a bmw. there is also a cash reward now on the table. >> so sad. well, look a follow-up for you on the fire at the tesla plant in fremont. firefighters say the cause was a molten aluminum and hydraulic fluid. sky ranger was overhead late yesterday afternoon and it happened at an area under construction. there were no injuries or evacuations. 5:38. a live look at the bay bridge. it looks busier in morning. the plan to open the exclusive bus only lane is in debate in sacramento. if it is approved it would start a one-year test run.

it would cost $65 million. we'll get mike's opinion on that maybe in a minute, but first we want to look at y>> finally, get more sunshine around here. you know, we needed the rain and we've got more on the way. but let's get a tour of today's forecast because it is friday. and our temperatures are going to be running a few degrees warmer compared to yesterday. the system and high pressure will dry us out in time for saturday. morgan hill, 65 degrees. oakland topping out in the mid 60s at 65 and even warmer in areas like concord and antioch. so it will feel more spring like today, but sunday night, the temperatures drop and more rain comes on in. but first, let's check in with mike. all right, vianey, hey, i'll talk about the bay bridge in a second but i want to show you the san mateo bridge westbound on the right side. taillights backing up on the high rise, there's a disabled vehicle blocking two right lanes and crews are trying to address that quickly. look at the map, we have slowing

on the san mateo bridge, westbound over to the peninsula. it's just on the high rise, dunbarton bridge and bay bridge toll plaza looks like that. kris asked about the proposed bus only lane, that's $65 million and still cheaper than the digital picture that you can buy the original of. anyway -- >> maybe i'll buy that instead. >> a lot cheaper. 5:40 this morning. new trouble for the owner of the dive boat. the deadly fire off the coast of southern california. 34 people died. we'll tell you the financial crisis he's now reportedly facing. president biden says there are better days ahead in the national address. we'll fact check that national address coming up. we're all in this together. and i think the only way to rise above it is to really lean on each other. >> it it's been one year since the pandemic took hold of our lives and changed our world.

we look back at what a lot of folks did to keep pushing forward. you're watching today in the bay. this is a no-nonsense message from three. small business insurance usually forces you to piece together multiple policies. that's why three was created. it's one policy that covers everything you need... leaving those old policies in the dust. three. no nonsense. just common sense.

small business insurance is usually so complicated, you need to be a lawyer to understand it. that's why three was created. if you own it, three covers it. got a cheese slice for “spokesperson?" that's me. i don't even need to see what's happening behind me to know it's covered. three. no nonsense. just common sense. good morning. we're seeing clear skies, but 30s and 40s right now. plenty of sunshine today. but we have more rain on the way just as we spring forward on a sunday. i'll have the full forecast and the timing coming up in a few minutes.

all right. like vianey said, dry roads today. that's good news, but the san mateo bridge as we take a live look not good news. jamming up now you can see it there headed up the incline from the flat section westbound. it's slowed. there's a single car crash. may have injuries. we'll track this. there you go. another set of flashing lights. looks like there's a paramedic headed over there, possibility injuries. we'll track this closely, marcus. well, happening today a pretrial hearing ahead of scott peterson's death penalty retrial. we don't know what it will cover, but his retrial is scheduled for the end of next month. it's possible peter subpoena's death sentence could be overturned for the murder of his wife and unborn son. there were new inconsistencies for one juror. new charges for the owner of the dive boat that killed 34

people. truth aquatics sold his remaining vessels to another company. he's trying to fight man slaughter charges. victims' relatives filed wrongful death suits against him. president biden will hold a ceremonial signing of the stimulus bill in the rose garden today. >> yeah, that's ceremonial, scott, because we saw him midday yesterday signing it. >> that's right. you brought it to us live. good morning to you on our midday. today, the president and vice president will invite members of congress to join them to celebrate. last night, the president spoke to the nation about the sacrifices we made during the pandemic and the brighter days ahead. >> if we do all this, if we do our part, we do this together, by july the 4th, there's a good chance you, your families and friends will be able to get together in your backyard or your neighborhood and have a cookout or a barbecue and celebrate independence day. >> now, the president continues

to caution it is not over yet. we need to continue to protect others by wearing masks. saying a mask, the easiest thing to do to save lives. sometimes divides us. he also said this. >> when i took office 50 days ago, only 8% of americans after months -- only 8% of those over the age of 65 had gotten their first vaccination. today, that number is 65%. you may recall i set a goal that many of you said was kind of way over the top. i said i intended to get 100 million shots in people's arms in my first hundred days in office. tonight, i can say we're not only going to meet that goal, we're going to beat that goal. >> now, there are two things to unpack here. first his claim that when he first took office, far fewer people had been vaccinated. that had little to do with him. it's just lucky timing.

on his part. when he took office on january 20th pfizer vaccine had only been approved five weeks earlier and moderna, 33 days previous. and his claim that 100 million shots was said to be unrealistic. that's not true. we said it was too small of a dole. we're watching everything happening in washington including the ceremony in the road garden today. we'll be talking about it on twitter. you can find me there. i'm @scott mcgrew. >> thank you. 5:47. new york governor cuomo is facing an impeachment inquiry. committee members will interview the witnesses, will gather documents and evaluate the evidence. this comes after a sixth woman accused cuomo of inappropriate behavior. day four in the jury selection will soon begin in the

murder trial of former minneapolis police officer chauvin. he faces murder charges in the death of george floyd and he died after the white officer knelt on his neck for about nine minutes. former leaders in the l.a. police department are out with a report on the lapd's response to last summer's protest following the death of george floyd. it cites missteps made, many of which could have been addressed. the report does not address, however, misconduct claims. it is now in the hands of city council and police department. one year into the pandemic and you may be reflecting on just how much life has changed for you. in that time, nearly 530,000 americans lost their lives and about 30 million people here in the u.s. were infected. >> but even with that loss of life and the loss of health, so many people found the strength to keep hoping for brighter days.

>> reporter: life got very quiet as the pandemic roared in last march. businesses closed their doors. hospital icus filled with covid patients whose families couldn't comfort them in person. schools and playgrounds were silent. in that time, we all looked for a new normal. families turning dining rooms and bedrooms into classrooms. many kids stepping up to help parents also working from home. >> it's pretty incredible. i did not think our 7-year-old at the end of a pandemic would be scrubbing the bathrooms. >> reporter: restaurants were making meals to go. businesses building websites to reach customers at home. >> so we were forced to go online only. >> reporter: with so few activities allowed, many of us turned to mother nature for comfort and exercise in the bay area's parks and preserves. >> the benefits in terms of your physical health and just mental health are great. >> reporter: and through art, many people found messages of inspiration. >> i have had a couple of
