first, we want to take you back out to the sky this morning, want to see that stunning view, this shot of the flower super blood moon, now on its way out, just take a look at that. it was so beautiful when we looked at it just about 30 minutes ago, looking at it now, you can see things are getting back to what we would consider normal but of course that eclipse entering the full totality of 4:19 this morning, certainly beautiful there this morning. >> really cool to see. other big story of the morning we expect that announcement from governor newsom this afternoon, a pledge to get more shots into more arms before the state reopens on june 15th. this is a live event industry hoping to bring back concerts and conventions. "today in the bay's" bob redell tracking it all for us. >> reporter: good morning, later governor gavin newsom is expected to announce a new

incentive program to get more californians to get their shots to encourage them to come to places like that this vaccination site in pleasanton and get inoculated. other states offered lotteries and cash to incentivize people to get their shots. it's not clear if governor newsom will announce something similar today. the state fully inoculated 16.7 million people just under 50% of the population. 4.4 million received their first dose. the state estimates there are 12 million californians who are eligible but for whatever reason have not yet received their shot. the governor wants to push those people before june 15th, that's the date newsom has set for the state to reopen. when that date does arrive, a lot of businesses will be ready to welcome customers back at full capacity, like the owner of the mero, a live music bar in san diego but venues like the mero will have to follow some rules after june 15th, so for example, when they're hosting

"mega" events which ther more than 10,000 people attendees fu status if they want to come inside or they must have a negative covid-19 result. outdoor mega events recommend the same or attendees wear masks. >> it's a bit an hennive what to expect but excited we get to get back into business. >> reporter: again the state has targeted june 15th as the date to fully reopen and the governor later today spelling out an incentive plan to get more shots in those arms, that announcement expected at 2:00 this afternoon. reporting live here in pleasanton, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. california's vaccination rate nearly in line with the rest of the nation. the white house yesterday announcing 50% of all american adults are now fully vaccinated. so that amounts to about 130

million people. when president biden took office the rate was 1%. marin county at 73%, the highest rate in america. the public health director dr. matt willis says the county has the advantage of educated residents who understand the science, many of whom could afford to make the effort. >> it really allowed us in public health to focus on those that need extra support and help to get to the vaccine, a little more education, a little more outreach. >> of the nine bay area counties, solano and napa are not among the top 20 when it comes to highest vaccination rates. an lgbtq focused vaccine event at the indian health care of santa clara valley's counseling community and wellness outreach center on east santa clara street. it's a walk-up event only for people 12 and up. everyone who gets a vaccine will receive $5 starbucks gift card.

happened since floyd's murder. we spoke to the oakland police chief and b.a.r.t. board president. go to nbcbayarea.com/raceinamerica to watch it. and a follow-up this morning on police reform efforts in berkeley, namely the push to change how traffic stops are handled. city leaders say berkdot creates a task force of unarmed traffic enforcement and speed limits may change and more automated speed cameras installed in areas including school zones. berkeley leaders say the goal of berkdot is to reduce racial disparities when police stop drivers. last year, san diego police banned its use of the carotid brace, similar to the chokehold, but an investigation done by our sister station finds the restraint is still included in

mates recruits. now a police spokespe removed. residents on the peninsula are being warned about a close call involving a mountain lion, this happened early yesterday on ross way in san bruno near spillane college. a big cat entered a home with several large trophy heads mounted on the hall. the homeowner scared the cat off. a chance to consider if you ride vta today. the new rules will call for three feet of distancing instead of the six, allowing more people to get on board at one time. the masks still mandatory, vta says since the pan demme ing began, buses have been leaving behind up to 800 riders each day because the max out at eight passengers. new clean energy plan to ease our climate in crisis may soon take shape in northern california. the white house has announced

plans to allow two new large scale wind farms built over the pacific ocean. one would sit 20 miles off the coast of moro bay, the other in the waters off of the north coast. it's hoped by the end of the decade, each will hold hundreds of wind turbines anchored on floating platforms. combined the farms could power 1.5 million homes. governor newsom supports the idea but commercial fishermen are among those slamming it calling it unproven. we will just see. it will be interesting to see. 5:07 right now. weather and traffic together, that's what we provide. we'll check in with mike in a moment but kari has a look at our forecast for us now, wednesday morning, half way through our work week. >> yes, we're still keeping an eye on the eclipse, we've got just about less than an hour left before it just returns to normal, but we are done with the red hue of the moon. a live look at the golden gate bridge, well it's all clear

i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv. more love,... more adventure,... more community. but with my hiv treatment,... there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor... and switched to... fewer medicines with dovato. prescription dovato is for some adults

interchange, intersection, four lanes that cross each other closed because of the crash. the richmond bridge also a construction crew doing early morning work, watch for them as you cross the clear span. well good morning, very happy wednesday to you as well. i'd like to get back to some of the data we brought you just as it was released on "today in the bay" yesterday and that's the case-shiller report on home prices. there are all kinds of reports on home prices. i trust case-shiller the most partly because the shiller side of it won a nobel prize for economics. the home prices in the 20 markets it measures rose the fastest year over year in 15 years, the tenth straight month. fee mix, san diego, seattle have the hottest markets. you wonder about san francisco's market up 12%. note that does not include the

south bay, which is not measured by case-shiller. you might be wondering i've heard about idaho. i know idaho has a hot housing market as does austin, texas, but they're not on the list of 20 cities measured about i this report. bottom line after covid a lot of people are upsizing and the demand for homes is huge. speaking of high prices, look at this tweet documenting how a price on airbnb is sometimes way higher double what you thought it was going to be. more expensive than a hotel. this tweet got tens of thousands of responses. the company said it will take a closer look at fees. >> this is the dow number 40, the dow is at 40, it was 125 years ago, it was 125 years ago today the editor at the "wall street journal" charles dow put together an index of stocks, he had a statistician friend whose last name i bet you can guess, edward jones. because it only measures 30 companies it's not that great of

a measure, for instance if apple has an amazing day or energy prices go lower and chevron has a terrible day, it's going to move a lot based on just one narrow situation but you know, tradition. [ speaking in foreign language ] yep, that's actor and wrestler john cena speaking chinese. if you speak mandarin he was saying "sorry." he's sorry he called taiwan a country while he was promoting his "fast and furious," movie. thatening aerred the chinese. hold on, isn't taiwan a country? that's a question everyone in the world tries to avoid as best they can. if you don't address it, it's not an issue. the u.s. says it recognizes just one china, but is willing to defend democratic taiwan in a fight. it has its own olympic team but goes by a different name. the bottom line for john cena seems to be if you're trying to sell a movie in asia, don't make an enemy out of the largest

market in the land. >> so true. and i don't know mandarin, but it sounded like he was doing a great on. >> it sounded apologetic and yeah, he's doing really well. >> that we know. i thought maybe it was one of the fake ones that was generated. i thought that was what the story was going to be. interesting. thanks, scott. it's 5:17. people in hayward will soon have less distance to travel if they want to eat animal style, because hayward planners approved a new in-in-out at a closed kmart location near harder road. hayward does not currently have an in-n-out so it's playing a little "catch up" get it? several chains including a sprouts and raising cain, a louisiana fast food restaurant and the ketchup line is

you didn't get to get up early for it. the eclipse entered a full totality at about 4:19 this morning. it's on its way out now but quite the sight to see. we'll have more in a little bit. but first, this morning it is a deal that is done. city councilmembers aproved the deal paving the way for the 80-acre downtown west project changing the face around the diridon station. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live in san jose with a look at what the deal took to seal. >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus and laura. so as you mentioned, this was a unanimous deal so now google will move forward with the support of the city council, but also with no incentives or no tax breaks from the city in this development deal. let's look at the details in that deal, more than 7 million square feet of office space was

approved, 4,000 housing units, about 25% of which will be priced as affordable. there will also be 500,000 square feet of retail open to everyone. 15 acres of open space and parks and a $2 million community benefits fund which will help toward causes like homelessness and anti displacement in the area. the mayor says the deal was guided by the city and community outreach. >> the city wouldn't cut any taxes or fees, no land giveaways. google wanted simply to be treated fairly and to have predictability that if they followed the rules they'd move forward. google did far more, any massive commitments to the community. >> reporter: housing advocates did say they had reservations, they want to see more housing in this deal. the san jose sharks also early and vocal opponents to the development are striking a deal to ensure parking here near the s.a.p. center during and after

construction in return the sharks promised not to sue google nor the city. of course, this will all mean jobs both the 25,000 tech jobs that will be housed here as the google village as it's called or google downtown west, but also the construction jobs that will happen throughout the construction process, which is going to be a lengthy one, it's going to be years and it's going to happen in phases so you won't see anything right off the bat. by the way, i'd love to know how you feel. join the conversation on facebook, i'm krisnbcbayarea or on twitter @krisnbc. in downtown san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> big project there. thanks, kris. 5:32, new this morning an unexpected roadblock in san francisco's plan to provide free muni service. just after supervisors approved the plan, mayor london breed seemed to slam on the brakes. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson joins us live in san francisco to explain why the free ride idea seemed to have stalled out.

cierra? >> reporter: yes, good morning. that free ride program would have run until at least the end of september with the july 1st start date but that july 1st start date isn't looking feasible, because mayor london breed has yet to approve the proposal. as it stands right now, the proposal to make the transit fare free passed as you mentioned at tuesday's board of supervisors meeting. it passed 7-4, just one vote off for being able to override a veto from the mayor, that would have been crucial because that needed eight to happen and according to "the chronicle" mayor london breed plans to veto the measure once it reaches her desk. for month city leaders discussed what it would look like, saying it would spur the city's economy and benefit the middle and low income riders but in a statement to the chronicle mayor london breed's office says "the mayor believes we need to return muni to full service to support the

economy's recovery especially for lower income communities before we use precious general fund dollars to provide free rides for those who don't need it." it is important to note ridership is well below pre-pandemic numbers. in february muni saw 500,000 riders a day and hit a low of fewer than 100,000 riders in april of last year and the beginning of this month the numbers have grown to 200,000. as it stands right now, we're unclear if mayor london breed has officially vetoed that proposal. she made it clear to "the chronicle" she was doing that and we'll stay in touch with the board of supervisors to see how they pivot with the anticipation of the july 1st start date, that is as we see now no longer happening so we'll stay in touch with them to see how they plan to pivot. live in san francisco, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> perfect, we'll keep updating changes, thank you.

new details this morning in the deadly shooting of a girl in antioch. the suspect now in custody. u.s. marshal yesterday arrested 19-year-old michael dwayne fritz of oakland, now in the hands of antioch police. a 12-year-old girl, khaliah davis was shot and killed may 12th at a home near black diamond mines regional preserve. so far police are not saying anything about motive. a man in sonoma county died from covid-19 even after being vaccinated. health leaders say the 64-year-old had other medical conditions but health leaders say covid was a contributing factor. the man was not showing symptoms when he was vaccinated. he's now, this brings the covid-19 death toll in sonoma county to 315. also new this morning, the day is set for san francisco students to return to their classroom but there will be a few changes coming this fall. every school in the district will either start at 7:50, 8:40 or 9:30 in the morning.

this amazing red crimson color. may's full moon known as the flower moon means the moon is closest to the earth during its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter and simply beautiful. pretty cool to go out. out in the backyard with my robe, not the front yard in my robe. >> scott budman, chief meteorologist jeff ranieri have been up tweeting eat clips progression and you can follow both of them on social media to see some amazing pictures, really good to capture them. take a look at this, it's more of a fellowish tone right now but certainly a beautiful shot this morning at 5:37. the eclipse is starting to end, the moon will fully come back into view just before 6:00 a.m., but certainly beautiful sight and this is really cool to see what we can do, what the earth does and we can actually see it because it's cool, science is cool, kari.

>> yes, it is, and this is the first time we've had this kind of eclipse in about six years so it's not something to thank happens every day and it's also a great way to start out our wednesday morning. so don't be too distracted by it. we've also seen some fog rolling by as we get a live look outside at our sunrise over the golden gate bridge, and so we are going to see some nice cold temperatures to start out our day, if you're about to head out for work in oakland, expect temperatures in the low 50s and it's going to be partly cloudy throughout the next few hours and then all clear as we go into late morning. a little bit warmer today, we'll talk more about that and what's ahead. mike, what's going on now for the morning commute? >> kari, the road block is over in byron, the major intersection of camino diablo and byron highway. it may be closed near the gas station there to byron hot springs. folks coming in to byron and present wood and discovery bay, that is a problem. folks traveling on vasco no
