in string attached to the branch. you can see it there, hard to see but wow. firefighters rushed to the scene, able to rescue the owl and you can see right there, they named it shamrock and made it the station's mascot. shamrock is now the peninsula, at the peninsula humane society being treated for a possible dislocated shoulder. hmm. right now at 6:00, developing news in san francisco, two asian women stabbed on market street in downtown.

good tuesday morning. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. we're watching your forecast as things cool down a bit, but there is plenty of heat to go around again for you today. a live look this morning. meteorologist kari hall's forecast is coming up for you in eight minutes. cierra johnson where two asian-american women were stabbed. what are investigators saying? >> reporter: yes, good morning. those two women, one 85 and one 65 years old were simply waiting for the bus at fourth and market as mentioned, a busy intersection where an individual

came up behind them and stabbed them. here's what we know about their injuries. an official with the city says one of the women was slashed across the back and elbow, another through the arm and to the chest. that woman needed surgery to treat her injuries. both were transported to san francisco general. police were able to locate a weapon and using security cameras in the area, were able to locate the 55-year-old san francisco man suspected in the stabbings, about two hours later they found him on the 600 block of eddy street. right now police are not ruling out that that stabbing was a hate crime. they're not considering it a hate crime rather but also not ruling it out. we will continue to follow this story bring you updates on charges brought against that individual as well as updates on the 58-year-old and 65-year-old women stabbed in the neighborhood. we're live in san francisco, cierra johnson for "today in the bay". >> thanks for the latest there, cierra. police in san jose looking

for a driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run, this happened a little before 10:00 last night in south san jose, on koozer road near princeton plaza mall. video from the scene shows what appears to be a mangled segway device. police are not saying if the victim was riding it before being struck but say the victim was a pedestrian. also new for you this morning, richmond police are asking for help solving two deadly shootings less than 30 minutes apart. they happened on april 27th the first 7:00 p.m. on south?÷ seco street and about 15 minutes later, responded to another shooting at an apartment complex five minutes away. in both cases, the victims died in the car. it's not clear if those shooting are connected. turning to our climate in crisis. before you water your lawn or your plants, you may want to check for new rules placed in your area because of the drought. there are restrictions in the

north bay. sharon katsuda is live in san ramon to show us how this may be a sign of things to come elsewhere, sharon. >> reporter: that's right, marcus. these new rules apply to different communities, but since the state is experiencing severe drought in certain counties, residents might want to start to look at ways to conserve. marin water has already implemented restrictions such as not washing cars at home and no power washing houses or businesses but last night it increased restrictions. after a late night vote, the marin water board says residents will have to cut back using sprinklers to two days a week, drip irrigation three days per week. in addition, pools and spas will have to be covered to minimize water loss. marin's reservoirs are at approximately 50%, usually above 90% this time of year. low water levels throughout the bay area have many water districts concerned. east bay mud is asking customers to cut back 10%, and san

francisco is considering restrictions, but leads the state in water conservation. in santa clara county, so far water restrictions are recommended but not yet required like marin water district and since we're seeing some warmer weather ahead, people at home should start looking at ways to conserve water at your own home. reporting live in san ramon, i'm sharon katsuda, "today in the bay." >> we all have to do our part. sharon, thank you. 6:05. now the 2019 kincade fire now under the legal microscope in san francisco. a federal judge yesterday heard arguments on whether pg&e violated its criminal probation when it sparked the fire, which destroyed 174 homes in sonoma county. the probation is tied to the pg&e criminal conviction in 2016. last month sonoma county prosecutors charged pg&e with multiple counts tied to the kincade fire which may have

started from faulty equipment. pg&e denied committing any new fast-moving grass fire in solano county along westbound interstate 80 at the american canyon road off-ramp. it started when a woman pulled off the road with car trouble and a fire started under the hood. the wind carries embers into the dry brush along the freeway, burning about five acres. luckily no one was hurt. we've got breaking news this morning. president trump will not be allowed back on facebook or instagram. social media's board decided to keep donald trump off their platforms. he was removed, you'll recall, after the capitol siege. scott mcgrew will have more coming up in ten minutes. 6:06 right now. now to the pandemic. nearly 31 million people have received at least one dose of the vaccine in our golden state.

that's close to 13 million fully vaccinated. president biden is laying the ground work for people as young as 12 years old to get a shot. the demand is slowing down across the nation. if the fda approves expansion, biden will make some 20,000 pharmacy sites available, a move some stanford doctors actually agree with. >> for the 12 to 15-year-old children, the pfizer vaccine has worked quite well, demonstrating no cases of covid in the vaccinated children, and ten cases in the placebo recipients. >> the fda may approve wiser use of the pfizer vaccine as soon as next week. pfizer is expected to 2 to 12 by

september. it could be by the end of the year. if you're still looking for a place to get that vaccine, head to nbcbayarea.com, click on "race for a vaccine" at the top of the trending bar. san francisco has the green light to move into the less restrictive yellow tier. nearly every business in san francisco will be able to open indoors in some capacity -"ij(ffj,qñ?dw!;wtp3nñ'crfl marin county is stuck in orange, though it's been flirting with the move into the yellow tier for weeks thousand. recent covid cases linked to travel and social gathering are keeping the county from moving into the less restrictive tier. fourth of july two months away. if your plans include lake tahoe, a live look at truckee, regional leaders there in north lake tahoe once again canceling the public independence day event due to the pandemic. south lake shah at that hoe plans to make a decision on its fourth of july event two weeks

from now. >> last year i went to tahoe fourth of july and someone took the big, i can't remember the name of it. >> rocket ship? >> not paddle boat, they put a band on top of it and middle of the lake and the boats and the people could hear music and still social distanced out there. >> pretty cool. >> it was just creativity, exactly! sorry, had a momentary blip there. i need coffee and we need to get to weather. >> yes, i know a lot of people are already up and getting ready to head out for work this morning. let's head to oakland making your way out the door. temperatures in the low 50s. 53 degrees to start. it's going to be a cooler day you'll notice that by this afternoon. it's not going to heat up as much as we get a nice ocean breeze picking up and at least we'll continue to enjoy some sunshine. now we are going to have a wide

range in temperatures, look at the coast in upper 50s today, san francisco 63. oakland 70, while martinez will be 84 and still in the 90s today for fairfield and antioch. we'll talk about all of us getting even more cooling in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. mike, how is it looking for the commute? >> well kari, we're looking at a slowdown. crash blocking one lane in the nimitz southbound side and hayward as we look at the map, the jam which is affecting folks coming out of castro valley, north 238, slows for the volume and slows 880 southbound around wynton. the crew not reported on scene and pattern changes you down the san mateo bridge out of oakland. the south bay is no problem, cleared from the first burst of 101 and we'll see the second coming up not too long through now. slowing concord right on schedule. the backup of the bay bridge is lighter, different pattern and

we may have things filling in now. 610 is standard over there as well. back to you. >> thanks so much. you know what they say, the house always wince? not during the pandemic. up next, just how big a hit one of the largest vegas casino operators is taking. plus -- >> donald trump is not returning to facebook. we brought thaw breaking news as it happened, but i'll have the details on how he might return in the future. speaking of futures, let's take you out to them, we've got really good news about employment as economic news continues to flow in. it's all good, and the futures are up. you are watching "today in the bay."

california's choice beauty? pretty boy. or a beast? john cox grew up with nothing; made himself a remarkable success. california's falling off a cliff. high taxes, unaffordable costs! even elon musk left! gavin's mismanagement of california is inexcusable. we need big beastly changes in sacramento. i'll make 'em. recall the beauty. meet the nicest, smartest beast in california. john cox.

good wednesday morning. at 6:13, if you're planning to head to the park at brentwood, get out there early. look at our park forecast. it's going to be 61 degrees at 7:00, and you can see the trend going up, and then the numbers turn red. you know that means it will be hot as we head back to the 90s this afternoon. but we'll have some cooling near the coast so we'll get a look at all of our microclimates in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. >> we're looking at a crash, we have southbound 880, the speed sensors are now starting to change a bit. one lane blocked at wynton, slow

out of castro valley and off of the castro valley y. the bay bridge toll plaza pattern is different, showing a couple of lanes open, there may be something wrong with one of the cash lanes, not cash lanes, one of the lanes in the middle and i'll let you know what i find out. people noticeably avoiding one lane in the middle. and breaking news this morning, facebook's so-called oversight committee has ruled donald trump's suspension from facebook was appropriate and it's upheld that decision. trump is not returning to facebook today. trump had been suspended from facebook after the attacks on the capitol and on capitol police by supporters. facebook doesn't not have to abide by the self-appointed oversight committee's decision but says it will. the oversight board did say just moments ago it was not appropriate for facebook to impose an indefinite suspension

saying "it is not permissible for facebook to keep a user off the platform for an undefined period with no criteria for when the account might be restored." the independent board has given facebook six months to come up with that criteria to keep trump off the social network. this is of course a developing story. we'll stay on top of it, bring you the latest as it comes in. other news, treasury secretary janet yellen rattled the markets a bit yesterday as she said higher interest rates may be needed to battle inflation. she then backtracked on that. yellen doesn't control interest rates but knows a lot about 'em. she used to be fed chair. just moments ago adp which processes private payroll said it's estimating 742,000 new jobs were created last month. we'll get the full official numbers from the labor department on friday. but the good news continues. looking quickly at the numbers, the adp numbers because these just came in, i'm seeing strong

growth in leisure and hospitality. the end of an era. the chicago mercantile exchange is doing away with the last of its open outcry, where broker traders scream and yell and use hand signals as well to trade commodities back and forth, replaced of course by computers. the market had scaled back open outcry pits, now it's shutting them all down. if you're old enough you may remember the orange juice futures scene from eddie murphy movie "trading places." it's a bit exaggerated. wasn't usually quite that violent but as i was saying earlier, marcus and law camera, i worked at the chicago board of trade, a life time ago, that was the one you saw in ""ferris buehler's day off"" where we did the buy and the sell but the elbows got high and i will tell you what. bloody noses and i had a ton of them. it was just part of the job. you go into the pits and you got tissue wadded up into both of them and probably kind of messed up your jacket as well. that was very common.

that elbow comes down, bang! yes. >> who knew it was such a physical job as well. >> it was very exciting. yes. >> volatile. >> i think this one fits you better, scott, thanks. 6:17. caesar's entertainment reporting another big loss $400 million, better than the previous quarters during the pandemic and the company says the hotel reservation rates are improving and las vegas weekends are sold out for the foreseeable future. caesar's owns more than 50 properties nationwide. if you want to get into business with a famous actress, now you can. actress jessica alba's honest company is going public after pricing its ipo. alba started the business ten years ago. the company sells diapers,

nursing pillows, vitamins and housing products through its website costco and target. the offer values the company about $1.5 billion. cha-ching. and trending right now, adam sandler is finally speaking out about the viral video showing the actor walking out of an ihop. >> this was posted last month on tiktok by a 17-year-old hostess that works there. she apparently didn't recognize the actor due to the beard and the mask we're all wearing now. sandler and his daughter walked out after being told that there was a 30-minute wait. this week, sandler tweeted about that saying, "for the record, i only left the ihop because the nice woman told me the all-you-can-eat deal didn't apply to the milkshakes." i don't know if it was case he wanted his table sooner or sometimes if the wait's too long, you get out thereof >> especially if you're hungry, too, you become hangry.

>> looked normal. >> you don't want to get hangry, angry, don't want that. we want the good weather to continue. we've been spoiled lately. taking the lunch outdoors today could be nice, kari. >> yes, and if you are in an inland valley, in spots like the tri-valley or maybe in napa valley today, you might want to have an earlier lunch because temperature also heat up again today. look at the sunrise, it is just now coming over the hill in the south bay, and we have a beautiful start to our wednesday morning. so hopefully you have a chance to just look out the window and enjoy it. we're going to feel our temperatures in the mid-50s stepping out the door within the next hour. holding steady at 7:00 and then. we are going to see those temperatures jumping several degrees each hour, before you know it, at lunch time we're at 79 degrees and 81 at 1:00. seven-day forecast is already up at the bottom of the screen. let's head to the south bay,

here is a look at our high for san jose, reaching 84 degrees, and east san jose will top out at about 85 there. there will be some low 90s for the east bay, just not as many as yesterday. so we'll see a high of 91 in antioch and you'll feel a little bit better in martinez, reaching 84. oakland really gets to cooling across the bay with a high of 70 today, and we only stay in the upper 50s along the immediate coastline so daly city sees a high of 58 degrees. we'll see upper 70s for palo alto and redwood city. in san francisco, some mid-60s and sonoma today will reach 84 degrees. so we do still have high pressure but it's moving on. it's going to make way for some cooler temperatures and storms to pass to the north of us. and then as we go into the weekend, just starts to heat back up again so we do have a lot of changes ahead, two days of some spring-like weather and then it heats up for the weekend. take a look at our valley forecast, for spots like gilroy

and santa rosa reaching into the mid-70s for tomorrow and on friday but the weekend we're reaching back into the low to mid 80s while san francisco for the most part stays in the 60s, just a little bit warmer by sunday. mike, you're watching the bay bridge, is it still backing up over there? >> yes, kari, no pleasant surprises like that. however, we do have changes over in hayward, first we'll start with that, southbound 880, that crash at wynton, chp just cleared it from their report so that means the lanes should be clear but i see more slowing, probably sensor lag as folks slow, chp cleared the scene. i'm going to guess that we're going to track it, slowing coming off of 238 but the castro valley y looks great. more traffic toward the san mateo bridge, holds up with the pattern in the chp report. slowing starting for san jose once again in the circled area for 101 and slowing through concord as well, really kicking in for highway 4, pittsburg and bay point actually just before you get to concord. and a look at the bay bridge

toll plaza, there we go, the slowing but now we spread out to all the lanes, so we're getting back to our typical pattern which is good or bad, depending on how you look at it. back to you. >> thanks, mike. if you're sitting in it, it's not very fun. >> not at all. 6:22. we'll keep it moving for you this morning. next here on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> if your vaccine record card has an error on it, don't worry, you can fix it. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we'll show you how, next.

wanna help kids get their homework done? well, an internet connection's a good start. but kids also need computers. and sometimes the hardest thing about homework is finding a place to do it. so why not hook community centers up with wifi? for kids like us, and all the amazing things we're gonna learn. over the next 10 years, comcast is committing $1 billion to reach 50 million low-income americans with the tools and resources they need to be ready for anything. i hope you're ready. 'cause we are.

right now the covid vaccine record card is the closest thing we have to a universal vaccine passport. >> that's right, the little record that they keep, it's really important but what if the information on yours is wrong? consumer investigator chris chmura shows you how to fix it. >> jennifer wrote us because the clinic that gave her her vaccine wrote "tracy" on her record card. tracy is her middle name. she wanted to know how to correct that. we went straight to the cdc. vaccine recipients can access their vaccine record by contacting their vaccination provider. for many that will be easy but in jennifer's case and a lot of other people she went to a mass vaccine site. she wasn't able to contact them and lots of them aren't going to be there forever. they might already be gone. so what do you do? the cdc says if you cannot contact your vaccination provider directly contact your

state health department's immunization information system. in california, you can call 1-800-578-7889 and press 6 to talk to someone. when we called the iis agent said jennifer could go to her doctor who could correct the card or issue a new one. the department of health confirmed that advice. the doctor can also, and this is really important, update the database so show tracy wasn't vaccinated about you jennifer was. when you get your shot remember jennifer's case. the cdc recommends 15 to 2030-minutes of down time for side effects after the shot. during that time, look at your card, confirm everything on it is accurate and if it isn't, speak up right there. >> 6:27. coming up, one of the contenders against gavin newsom is speaking in two places in the

bay today. and plus the international help is pouring in to india to assist in the covid surge. the key delivery now coming from the u.s. and new questions emerging after the deadly overpass collapse in mexico city. how a natural disaster years ago may have played a role. you're watching "today in the bay."

right now at 6:30, a new race to independence day. america is launching an all-out effort to vaccinate as many people as possible before the fireworks begin. >> let's just get as many people vaccinated as we possibly can, as quickly as we can and setting a 70% goal of adults with one shot by the fourth of july is an ambitious but nonetheless attainable goal. >> that's dr. anthony fauci in an all exclusive new interview. up next, how he says we'll get to heard immunity. "today in the bay" continues right now. good wednesday morning. thanks so much for making us a part of your morning. i'm marcus washington. >> and i am laura garcia. cinco de mayo as well. breaking news, we have for you this morning, facebook's oversight committee rules donald trump's suspension was appropriate. the former president will not be returning to facebook or instagram. scott mcgrew will have more for

us on that coming up in ten minutes. we're also tracking the forecast and where our fire danger concerns continue to stand this morning. meteorologist kari hall is tracking cooling temperatures. a look at the full forecast in eight minutes as we take this live look outside. president biden announces a new goal in the fight to end the pandemic, getting at least one vaccine dose to 70% of americans by the fourth of july. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez's live. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez -- >> that starts with making the vaccine more accessible. >> reporter: yes, so vaccine rates we've been talking about this have been declining across the country and here in the bay area, which is not completely a bad thing, it just means so many people were eager and able to get their vaccines early so now we're talking about reaching out to folks who couldn't get a vaccine up until this point or hesitant.

the next to goal to get 70% of americans with a first dose by july, making more vaccines available at wa local pharmacy kids 12 to 15 years o fda authorizes that, which could be within the next few days. on the "today" show this morning, dr. anthony fauci talked about what that 70% mark will mean. >> when you get to 70%, you are going to have a substantial impact on the number of cases per day, which will translate into a diminution in the number of hospitalizations and deaths. and you'll see what we can do as a society the guidelines restricted at a certain level are much more liberalized and people will be able to really approach getting back to some form of normality. >> reporter: so another part of that 70% strategy is shifting away from the mass vaccination sites like levi's stadium and the coliseum there in oakland

and toward pharmacies and then local vaccine locations, where people can get them within their communities, without having to make an appointment. there are a few of those going on today. stanford clinics will deliver second doses in san jose and contra costa county, me toe homes elementary school in concord and ambrose recreation center in bay point, open regardless of residency. after the benicia senior center the pfizer vaccine the one teams have to get up in this point, the only one approved for 16 and 17-year-olds by the fda. laura and marcus? >> we have the kids in the 12 to 15 group, what we know about that safety. we know the trial no, sir children have actually gotten the vaccine, they haven't gotten tick, those who have gotten it,

ten in the pla see fwoe group got sick. >> laura and make have kids within the age range group. parents are eager to get their kids vaccinated 12 to 15 if they can go back to the school in the fall comfortably and participate in youth sports. the kids in that test group none of them got covid after having the vaccine, but ten kids in the placebo group did get sick so we know that it is very effective in preventing covid. you might be wondering what about the long-term effects. the mrna vaccine is very new, it's the first time it's been approved for widespread or not aed of pro, authorized for widespread use, but it has been in clinical trials for years. ontological studies are using the mrna vaccine for about ten years, new to us now and using it to combat infectious disease

trials in that regard for three years so it's new to us but it is not new to the science community and at the end of the day, every parent has to make the decision that they feel comfortable with and they can live with for their children. >> absolutely, i'm sure a lot of parents will be thinking over that in the next few days and weeks. kris, thank you. >> reporter: we'll be talking about it. in the meantime, the desperate covid situation in india continues this morning. at least 218,000 people have died with the country experiencing its worst surge of the pandemic. hospitals are running out of beds and oxygen. the u.s. is providing help, 545 oxygen concentrators are in new delhi thanks to an air force cargo jet, it's india's fifth coronavirus shipment from the united states and a train carrying 120 tons of oxygen also arrived in the country yesterday. meanwhile, l.a. mayor eric garcetti he is soon to become possibly a u.s. ambassador to india. sources tell nbc news the mayor

is in talks with the biden administration for that position or another high-profile ambassadorship. garcetti has been l.a.'s mayor since 2013. developing now in mexico city, some are suggesting a powerful earthquake back in 2017 possibly damaged the overpass that collapsed late monday killing 25 people. another 70 people are in the hospital. there's speculation the train that came down in the collapse may have been carrying just too much weight. authorities are saying the investigation will take some time. developing in italy the long trial is wrapping up this week for two former north bay high school classmates accused of killing a police officer in rome. the incident took place in july of 2019 when prosecutors say the two stabbed and killed an undercover officer in a botched drug deal. they once attended tamalpias

high school. as soon as today, closing arguments are supposed to wrap up. attorneys for derek chauvin are requesting a new trial. last month the jury convicted the former minneapolis police officer of killing george floyd. chauvin's attorney say the pre-trial media coverage affected his client's right to a fair trial. the request asks for a new trial and a new venue. chauvin killed floyd nearly a year ago after kneeling on his neck for nearly nine and a half minutes. one of the players seeking to win california's governor seat in the recall election continues his multi-city tour today. conservative businessman john cox is visiting six california cities this week. today's stop includes san francisco and fremont. yesterday in wine country he actually stopped outside of the famous french laundry restaurant, this is where governor newsom last fall infamously ate with associates despite the public gathering rules. earlier in the day, cox started

the tour in sacramento, next to a half ton bear. >> that's why our friend is here today. we're going to need big, beastly changes to be made in the state. >> in 2018, newsom defeated john cox in the general election by 24 percentage points. caitlyn jenner released her first campaign ad yesterday. she's supposed to start appearing this week on national cable news shows. this morning, half a million more baby salmon are swimming somewhere outside the golden gate bridge. they were released in san francisco bay last night. >> that's right, the golden gate salmon association is pushing for last night's release. these salmon were never going to make it to the bay by themselves. >> they're real lousy swimmers. they get carried by a river that functions like a conveyor belt but in drought that conveyor belt is broken. >> last night's release is just part of a larger effort that

will bring 17 million salmon from fish hatcheries into the bay. experts said they'd be happy if half a million of the fish returned to spawn. i'm sure the waters are very cold this morning, as we look out and definitely a cold morning there. carl the fog sticking around in the san francisco area this morning, kari. >> yes, we'll take a look at this view as the sun rises. we can see it is back. has been missing for a little while. it gives us a picturesque view of our wednesday morning start. let's head inland where we won't see the influence of fog and pleasant hill making your way out the door for work, light jacket weather. take a look at the temperature trend with upper 50s and heading toward lunch it will be in the 80s. we'll be back in the mid to upper 80s here for this afternoon. so we'll talk all about our wide-ranging temperatures and what's ahead in the forecast. mike, how is it looking headed toward this morning?

we will do this. in other news, facebook's self-appointed oversight board says facebook was correct to suspend donald trump from facebook. trump was kicked off after the riots at the capitol and assault on police officers by his supporter. ed int pent board criticized facebook for not clearly explaining its criteria for the suspension and has instructed facebook to come up with a criteria for keeping trump off the site. it has six months to do so. republican leader liz cheney's position is in doubt this morning. cheney once again saying trump's claims that he won the election are false and they are false, but her pointing that out upsets her fellow republicans. republican congressman anthony gonzalez who agrees with cheney explains "if a prerequisite for leading our party is to continue to lie to our voters, then liz isn't at the best fit.
