"today in the bay's" pete suratos joins us live from the scene in san jose this morning

and pete, what are you hearing about the officer's conditions? >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. the latest update we're getting from san jose police on their twitter account the injuries to the officer are non-life-threatening at this point. we are on suncrest avenue. you can see a san jose police cruiser, they're keeping us about a mile away from where the scene took place on suncrest avenue and pirri lane. san jose police say an officer was struck roughly around 12:30 a.m. by a car while outside of his marked police unit. a suspect is in custody, and we are going to get more details on what led to the traffic collision. here is a witness speaking to one of our crews on the scene explaining what they saw. >> all of a sudden we see an older model bmw speeding by at least 100 miles per hour at the bend, and he was already losing control that the point, and he ended up hitting a police

officer and we didn't really see it happen, but we ran towards the scene as soon as it happened, to make sure he was okay. >> reporter: the witness also mentioned this may have been a case of someone being pulled over. we're kept a ways way from the actual scene but this is an ongoing investigation and we'll bring you guys any new updates as they come in. reporting live, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> pete, thank you. a live look at the white house this morning, this is where president biden is expected to speak today about the economy. april's jobs report will be out in less than a half hour, and the president is really trying to build momentum for his massive infrastructure plan. "today in the bay's" chris pollone is live in washington this morning. you'll have a look at the key meetings set to happen just days ahead. >> that's right, marcus. with the economy on the upswing, president biden is saying that by passing his spending plans, it will create more jobs and keep the momentum going.

president joe biden taking his case for big infrastructure spending ready to the people. >> i'm ready to do compromise. i'm not ready to do nothing. i'm not ready to have another period where america has another infrastructure month and doesn't change a damned thing. >> reporter: the president speaking thursday in louisiana, a state he lost to donald trump by 19 points. still the president found a willing listener in the republican mayor of lake charles. >> i don't care if it's president trump, president biden or president kanye west. if they are here in lake charles and they can help us, i will there to break bread with them and to try and accomplish some things. >> reporter: the president banking that his $2.3 trillion bill is popular with democratic and republican voters, building supports to put pressure on congressional republicans who have said they're intent on derailing his agenda. >> i'm anxious to stop the biden agenda depending on what it is. at the risk of repeating myself, if we want to talk about

instructure, we're very interested in talking about infrastructure that amounts to about $600 billion, not $4.1 trillion. >> reporter: biden plans to pay for the bill rolling back the 2017 trump tax cuts and closing loopholes, moves republicans oppose. democrats at least publicly think there's room for agreement. >> it's really great that he is continuing to talk with republicans. i take him at his word when he says he wants to negotiate and wants to find some common ground. >> reporter: a critical test for a president who ran on being able to bridge partisan divides. and the president will host congressional leaders from both parties at the white house next week to see if they can indeed find any common ground. live in washington, i'm chris pollone, "today in the bay." >> thanks, chris. breaking news a big announcement this morning when it comes to pfizer's covid vaccine. the drugmaker is seeking full fda approval for its use on anyone 16 years and older. the company is asking for priority review requesting the agency consider the application wi right now

have emergency authorizatiht no the fda to expand emergency use authorization to children over 12 years old. taking a live look in san francisco on this friday morning, where there is a big weekend on tap, because for the first time in a very long time businesses can operate in the least restrictive yellow tier. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson joins us live in san francisco this morning, and cierra, i would imagine a lot of people are excited about it. restaurants probably gearing up as well. >> reporter: yes, good morning, laura. it is a very big week and today a lot of businesses have expanded their capacity, they're expecting more folks but some businesses are actually reopening for the first time since the pandemic and one of those not really a business but one of the attractions, legion of museum here, legions museum, excuse me, reopening for the first time during the pandemic and when they open to the public later today, they'll be doing so with a very big installation.

now, this installation is done by a kenyan-american artist, and she interprets the gruesome 2018 death of neil wilson using bronze sculptures, placed in the middle of the museum's courtyard. 18-year-old wilson, if you recall, her and two of her sisters were traveling to a memorial service for a relative when she was stabbed to death at macarthur b.a.r.t. station, again in 2018. the 29-year-old suspect in that stabbing was found to be insane at the time of the stabbing so the bronze sculpture arrangement will be placed in the center of this museum. i've seen pictures online, really an interesting interpretation there, but it's not just museums that are reopening, anticipating visitors. some of the bars are able to expand that capacity and they're really hoping for a busy weekend. one of the biggest changes coming into the yellow tiers, bars don't have to serve food and allowed to operate at 25% capacity indoors and the capacity increased for the

indoor gyms, wineries, restaurants, tasting rooms at 50% capacity. our crews were out last night the first night in the yellow tier. many business owners said this move is a welcomed one and counting down until june 15th. >> it's nice to come inside and have a drink, so it's a big day for us. you know, it's kind of a small step but it feels like a big leap. >> we know each other so it really becomes a focus of the community. >> reporter: and as we've been saying all week and really last week, entering this yellow tier could really be a domino effect for a lot of those businesses, not only can restaurants increase capacity indoors, but that would mean more ride share services, potentially more parking garage revenue, as well as some hotels with folks coming in that feel safe to travel now, so a big weekend, not only with some of the bars and restaurants but some of the art museums reopening doors with some big

installations. we're live in san francisco, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> true definition of the trickle down effect. thanks, cierra. here is a question a lot of people have been asking. can you be fired from your job or refusing a covid vaccine? that question may soon be answered in the federal courts. almost every state including here in california considering legislation about mandatory vaccines. now the new census survey finds nearly 10% of businesses in the san francisco, oakland, berkeley area they're all requiring employees to show proof of vaccination before coming back to work. we spoke with one employment law expert about the courts and what they will consider and if someone refuses to get a shot. >> i would think that the courts would look at three issues, you know, do you have a religious reason, a health reason, and to the employer, you have no less onerous way of accommodating this employee who does not want to receive the vaccination. >> some larger companies like

facebook are only encouraging people to get the shot instead of requiring vaccines. if you're on the fence and now you want to get the vaccine, looking for a place, head over to nbcbayarea.com and look for "race for a vaccine" you see it right there at the trending bar at the top of the page. the man accused of stabbing two elderly asian women at a san francisco bus stop is expected in court today. patrick thompson is scheduled to be arraigned on multiple felony charges. investigators released a security video of the suspect and have graphic evidence of the attack. the city district attorney says the stabbing left one woman with a punctured lung and the suspect stabbed the other victim with so much force the blade of his knife broke. the grandson of one victim is vowing to speak justice. >> throw the book at him. i don't want him getting out on mental issues. i want him locked up forever and never to be on the streets again. >> authorities say thompson has

a long history with the criminal justice and mental health systems. police say so far there's no evidence the incident was a hate crime. new findings show hate crimes against asian-americans and pacific islanders are up sharply. the group stop aapi hate released updated numbers and it counted more than 6,600 incidents nationally, from march of last year to march of this year. verbal harassments, the most common at 65%. next is shunning or deliberate avoidance at 18%. 12% of those complaints involve physical assault. maybe you felt the shaking last night from the 4.7 quake near lake tahoe, some people in the bay area say they did, centered near truckee. struck about 9:30 at night, didn't cause damage but some people received an alert fearing it would be even stronger. >> earthquake, drop cover, hold on. shaking expected. >> the shake alert warned of an estimated 6.0 quake.

afterwards social media pretty much lit up about that, as the actual quaking was a lot less than that. nevertheless, you got to be prepared. you never know. it is 5:10 right now. taking a live look outside, what a beautiful start to our friday morning, nice and clear out there, overlooking downtown san jose this morning, kari has a look at our forecast, and boy, the winds were kicking up yesterday, they're going to die down? >> no, it's still going to be windy these next few days and that's of course going to be of high concern as our temperatures go up, but as we're starting out this morning, still a little breezy in some spots, temperatures for the most part have dropped down into the upper 40s and low 50s so it's going to be jacket weather as you're getting ready to step out the door, heading to work in oakland, expect temperatures at about 50 degrees, and then making it into the upper 50s by 10:00, making lunch plans outside, it's going to be 64 degrees.

we'll talk about what you may be planning for mother's day and the forecast for that spot coming up in a few minutes. mike, how is it looking for the commute heading around the bay? >> i have a concern, kari, for highway 24, let's take you to the map and first of all show you the bay bridge and richmond bridge are moving smoothly, so is the maze. caldecott tunnel cleared from the earlier incident, there was some debris there. highway 4 at leverage there is a crash, sorry, a flat tire repaired, watch that and highway 24 just got word in orinda, st. stephens' location of a crash there, might be in lanes. these lanes of 84 they have cleared for the morning drive once again right on schedule. scott? coming up, mike, we got some good economic news, or at least we expect it will be with jobs numbers. plus take a look at this. does this guy have a seat belt in his office? what's going on? we'll take a look. for the first time a bottle of wine that has been into space

has been offered for sale. >> so if you have a taste for aged wine and a heart for a good cause this auction is for you, your chance to own that bottle of space age wine and we'll tell you about the organization the proceeds will benefit. 5:12 for you this morning. you're watching "today in the bay."

good friday morning. right now at 5:14, let's check out our high temperatures today as you get ready to head out and making plans for the day.

it's going to be nice, breezy and cool for a lot of our spots, reaching into the mid-70s. we'll talk about what's ahead in the forecast coming up. >> kari a little bit of construction going on, 101 through san mateo. a couple of spots, we're used to that and used to the golden gate bridge about now the zipper truck getting ready to move physically move the center divide use caution as you pass by any of our crews overnight. safety is the word. scott you have a seat belt story coming up, in a couple of seconds. >> i do, mike, good morning. and happy friday. we'll get to the guy with the seat belt in a second. let's talk about fridays. i like this friday the best because it's jobs friday. in 15 minutes the latest numbers from the labor department showing how many jobs were created in april and our is you suspicion was it was a lot.

if we can stick to 1 million jobs created every month we can be back to a normal economy faster than we first thought. jobs are growing and changing. coinbase won't have a headquarters office at all. people can work from home and office and reception and desk and a water cooler that's no longer needed. the famed auction house sathby's is trying a hand at its nfts, digital works of art, anyone can download them but technically one person owns them through a digital certificate. the work on the left is called cryptopunk 7523. the piece on the right is quantum. similar works have sold for dol. sunday morning on "press:here"

explains this. we'll try doing it, watch "press:here" after "meet the press" this sunday mo viral thi zoom meeting where the guy on the right over there may not be in his office. why do i think? he's wearing a set belt. looks like he's driving and using a fake background, that's exactly what's happening, an ohio state senator said he was driving at the time but treated the call as a phone call and not a zoom call. you see him look at the camera every once in a while. the irony they were debating a driving while distracted bill, he wasn't doing that but at the same time this was happening at the capitol. maybe do the icon with your initials on it. >> yes, that's for next time.

>> busted. buckle up, guys. a bottle of petrvs spent 14 months maturing in space, one of 12 bottles sent to the international space station in 2019 to be aged in an experiment to see how plants adapt to space conditions. christy's private sales are auctioning off the bottle which could go for $1 million. it could go to agricultural research missions in space. what could be better than being paid to sleep? one website is offering jobs to five people to do just that. >> you think we're kidding? not at all. part of a study conducted by sleep each night.com. they have to nap undisturbed and write reviews.

motivation, productivity and memory will all be taken into account. each participant will receive $1,500 for the 30-day study and sounds like a dream job for 30 days. if you're in between jobs right now. this will be great for a college student. >> they do it anyway, might as well get paid for it. meteorologist kari hall has a look on this friday. it's friday, why sleep it away, kari? >> right, time for a lot of people to head to work this morning as the sun is rising. we start out in the south bay and a look ahead to how the morning will shape up for you. we've had a beautiful, clear start to our morning, get ready for a nice sunrise. seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen starting in the south bay as we are starting out with some upper 40s this morning, and it's going to be mostly clear, a lot of

sunshine, and it's going to still be just as nice as it was yesterday, if you enjoyed that, so cupertino reaching 73 degrees, we'll see some mid-70s for morgan hill, and then for the east bay, we're looking at some upper 70s for antioch and concord, but mostly low 70s for danville and hayward reaching 68 degrees. we'll see some upper 50s near the immediate coast while redwood city in the upper 60s and san francisco reaching 58 in the outer sunset and 52 in the mission district. north bay temperatures are comfortable but the winds will be kicking and reach 75 degrees in santa rosa and napa. the storm system is passing to the north what's making it so windy at this point and going into the weekend as the winds calm down, temperatures heat up as high pressure gets closer and gives us more of a northerly wind and we'll be watching out for a fire danger once again. we'll see our temperatures stay warm going into next week, our inland forecast will be in the upper 80s while san francisco

and near the coast we're staying in the 60s. mike, how is it looking right now for the morning drive? >> kari, we have a couple of incidents in the east bay so let's get to the maps and show you that. first of all, big concern when i say east bay, bay bridge toll plaza. that's clear no problem there. highway 4 at leverage the disabled vehicle there fixing a flat tire. one lane blocked. be careful. someone may be inside their car. highway 24 the crash i heard about, major damage to the car reported in the chp report but no slowing west 24 at st. stephens. the rest of the bay shows an easy drive. look at palo alto shows how light the traffic is. tail lights headed north, construction but san mateo. let's send it over to chris. >> we have a trio of viewers who have thousands of extra dollars in their pocket thanks to our team. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura.

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez has what comes next >> reporter: we expect to hear more from the family this afternoon. the contra costa county district attorney is not planning to file charges against four officers involved in the case. miles hall was killed by walnut creek police in his neighborhood

in 2019 and according to 911 calls hall was suffering a mental health crisis when his family said he was behaving erratically and holding a metal pole. hall was rushing officers when they arrived, one officer fired bean bags and officers fired real shots when he continued to run past them, sparked protests more than a year later and in september of 2020 the city of walnut creek agreed to a $4 million settlement with hall's family, money the family will invest in the foundation to push for change how police deal with people having mental health crises. the city did nod admit fault but said the set almost was to avoid protracted litigation. today we'll hear more from the district attorney's office in contra costa county about why there will be no charges against the four officers back on the job and the family will be there as well so we expect to hear

some decisions may be left to the courts. a new poll suggesting not all parents are enthused about getting their children vaccinated. kaiser foundation researchers found three in ten parents of children ages 12 to 15 say that they will get their child vaccinated immediately after that vaccine is approved. nearly 20% say that they will do it only if the schools require it and nearly one in four say they definitely will not do so. it's 5:35. taking a live look in san francisco where the slow rebound for the convention business continues to hit the city where it hurts the most, in the wallet. "sf gate" reports in 2019, the travel and convention business industry brought in $11 billion. last year mostly wiped out and this year there are at most ten conventions planning to come to san francisco, this after the largest remaining one scheduled by the american college of rheumatology just canceled it

american economy this morning. >> and scott mcgrew, a huge miss on jobs. >> this is a brutal miss, good morning to you, the american economy, marcus and laura, adding just 266,000 jobs in april, this is according to numbers just sent to us. moments ago from the labor department, it is a huge hit to the white house, if there's any silver lining, it's that president biden's push to create jobs through a new infrastructure bill is that much more needed. part of pushing an infrastructure plan is standing in front of infrastructure so president biden stopped at a water and sewage plant in louisiana yesterday. critics say his plan includes too much spending, including things for not traditionally thought of as infrastructure. the president insisting after years of talk, it is time to get something done. >> truth is, across the country, we have failed. we have failed to properly invest in infrastructure for half a century. last four years, how many times said this is going to be
