families. i've said this before if you see a bus driver out there on the road, smile, give them a thumbs up, you're there to support them and to our community, just be patient with us as we try and work through with our employees and try and get service turned back on. >> exactly. they're going to have to go back to work, light rail service had been suspended since that time. do you have any updates in regards to when you think it might come back or what is expected even moving forward, are things going to be a little different? >> things will probably end up being different. we are probably several weeks away at least from being able to turn the lightrail service back on. we understand the impact that has to our commuters and riders, but we're just not -- it's going to take us a little bit of time to get the service reactivated. >> and that's okay. we're behind you all the way. so sorry you had to go through this. >> thank you. >> thank you so much for joining us. >> okay, thank you. of course, our coverage continues online as well where you can learn more about the victims and how you can help

their families. it's all on our website, nbcbayarea.com. quarter to 7:00 right now. president biden giving vice president yet another task. >> that's right, scott mcgrew kamala harris was already in charge of solving the problems at the southern border. >> and now she's going to be in charge of pushing back against new restrictions on voting as well. good morning. at least that's one way of phrasing it. president biden called it defending american democracy and warns it will be "a hell of a lot of work." vice president has taken on bigger roles over the last few decades. mr. biden was a major part of president obama's foreign policy neshives. the new assignment for vice president harris comes as texas moves to further restrict voting in that state. now defending democracy in the right to vote was a major theme for the president, as he spoke at the commemoration of the tulsa massacre yesterday, saying america must learn the truth of what we must know, not

just the facts we want to know. >> a mob tied a black man by the waist to the back of their truck with his head banging along the pavement as they drove off. a murdered black family draped over the fence of their home outside. an elderly couple knelt by their bed praying to god with their heart and soul and shot in the back of their heads. private planes, private planes dropping explosives, the first and only domestic air assault of its kind on an american city, here in tulsa. >> biden is the first sitting president to visit tulsa on that anniversary which marks one of the worst if not the worst racial attacks in american history. other news, the president has suspended the leases sold to oil companies to drill in a protected part of the arctic. it's a temporary suspension as washington examines the environmental impact, but it

could turn permanent. the leases were issued in the last few months of the trump presidency and one key thing to know is nobody's drilled there yet. in fact, no major oil companies were interested in those leases. we've seen a general reluctance of oil companies to start major new projects. the bottom line, while gas prices are high right now, they won't go higher because of this change. we're tracking what's happening in washington. president biden will negotiate with the fwop's top negotiator on infrastructure today. we'll be talking about it on twitter, find me i'm @scottmcgrew. >> sounds good. a follow-up and a live look outside the marin water agency headquarters where board members went late into the night grappling with water restrictions many would argue would have an impact on new home construction because it would ban new water service hookups to homes. the board did not reach a decision last night and will pick up that conversation june 15th. a vote likely will be held one

month from today. water conservation a big topic right now as it gets warm and a lot of the brush and whatnot really brown out there. >> water conservation kind of a way of life for us californians, vianey. >> it really is and thankfully we'll cool down, easing some fire danger concerns we've been having over the past several days thanks to the high pressure. let's look at the 24-hour temperature change and the fog, definitely can notice it there, livermore running 9 degrees cooler already at this time of day and into the afternoon, let's get a look at your daytime highs, 66 degrees for oakland. 84 in concord. 85 in livermore. san jose the south bay really just going to remain in the 80s. now i also want to get to your allergy forecast because if you're going to be out and about, this is something that you may want to keep in mind, we are seeing a moderate so far when it comes to grass and tree pollen but as you know, that depends on where you are if you're going to go on a hike, going to go on an extended walk, take it. yesterday we had high tree

pollen. today the number has gone down to moderate but over the next several days, we have a couple changes on the way into thursday and friday, temperatures will remain in the 80s, a lot of sunshine this weekend for saturday and sunday, 85 degrees on saturday, by next week into monday and tuesday, we cool off even more with the arrival of a system that's going to pass near us, not necessarily bringing rain, which we need, but it will bring a cooldown. in san francisco, 61 degrees for tomorrow, into friday, again we'll continue to see this fog, yesterday was the unofficial start of summer and fog as you know for san francisco is a pretty common site through portions of the bay area. mike, how are the roads? >> looking pretty good but pretty consistently now for the last week, perhaps two, we've been seeing this more build for the south bay. we'll start with the map for san jose, back where the arrow is around capitol expressway the sensors changing again, should build back toward oak lan road so that's a little bit longer

stretch. 87 showing slowing from about kurtener to downtown san jose. the crash is cleared from 92 around skyline there but still the report still on the chp blotter so we're going to track that. still slow for 880 down through hayward and in toward union city, highway 4 through concord with the heavy build there and the bay bridge toll plaza of course cierra, we have the metering lights on there, the backup there, it's going to be there for the morning. >> look at that. happening now, a major step in moving the cruise industry forward. the cdc just gave disney cruises the okay to embark on a test sail from port canaveral. the ship will sail with volunteer passengers and test newly developed health and safety protocols and it's required as part of the cdc protocol for vessels to receive approval to resume normal cruises. so far, only royal caribbean has received its cdc approval to do a similar test sailing. coming up next a quick look at top story, the friends of a man shot and killed by police in the south bay are speaking out.

sunny skies ahead into the weekend, but look at these 70s, hey there, a nice change. seasonal for this time of year, definitely a little bit better than the triple digits that we saw because the high pressure is going to continue to trek east. we get an onshore flow and of course we've been having that fog covering the coastline in through san francisco, as well, that's been helping keep the temperatures as well at bay. 64 degrees for today and for tomorrow and friday we remain in the low 60s, but we've got a lovely weekend ahead if you're looking forward to it. i think it's a good one. mike? >> always looking forward to the weekend. looking at the bay bridge, toward san francisco, somewhere closer to san francisco, because it looks clear on the incline, there may be a minor crash they're blocking one lane. chp couldn't have detail. they talk about that and another live look shows you the richmond bridge west, the backup approaching the bridge and in san rafael some of the folks end up driving on highway 101 moving smoothly across the golden gate bridge. >> thank you very much, mike.
