been seen in san jose since may 24th. las vegas police say the mother and son were spotted in laguna beach down south, in victorville may 26ths and then the mother was seen checking into a denver hotel alone. las vegas police have not said how liam died or why they believe the mother is responsible but they said there did not seem to be prior evidence of abuse. liam husted's father has been notified and is not a suspect. >> it's a heartbreaking conversation to have. this has been an emotional last ten days for myself, all the investigators that have been working on it and we're just glad we're able to get some closure for liam and hold the person responsible for this crime accountable. >> reporter: please take a look at the information here on your screen, the number for crimestoppers is there and you can always report something you

know anonymously. 35-year-old samantha moreno rodriguez has a warrant for murder, she and her son were last seen in a 2007 dodge caliber dark blue, license plate 6wlh211. we did track down a san jose address for the mother and child, but none of the neighbors could identify them, but again we don't know how this little boy died and we may not know unless police can find his mother so if you have any information, do call that number for crimestoppers or call the san jose police department, they can also direct you. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> obviously she's in a concerning state. thanks for the very latest there, kris. it is 6:04 right now. another of the nine men killed in the vta rail yard mass shooting will be laid to rest today. of the nine shooting victims, only alex fritch made it to the hospital alive. doctors tried des rattly to save him but he didn't make it. he was 49 years old and his wife says he breathed his last breath

can get vaccinated. >> about 30% of all people have been reluctant to get a vaccine. 6:05 for you taking his first trip overseas since taking office. this starts tomorrow. he got an aggressive agenda including a face-to-face with russian president vladimir putin, "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live in washington with that for us this morning and vice president harris wrapping up her trip south of the border. lester holt is speaking exclusively about this. >> he did and she is in mexico today, in guatemala yesterday trying to deal with some of the issues of the conditions behind why so many people have been flooding the southern u.s. border. president biden has tasked her with dealing with that issue, which many have described as a crisis at the southern border. on the "today" show lester asked

the vice president why she hasn't visited the border herself. >> americans don't see a lot of it on the daily basis. what they see is children lowered over fences, children coming in with phone numbers stenciled on their hand and so the question has come up and you heard it here and you'll hear it again i'm sure, why not visit the border? why not see what americans are seeing in this crisis? >> well we are going to the border. we have to deal with what's happening at the border. there's no question about that. that's not a debatable point but we have to understand that there's a reason people are arriving at our border and ask what is that reason and identify the problem so we can fix it. >> now as she comes back from that central american tour and visit to mexico, president biden is heading out to europe where he'll meet with the g7, with

nato and with russian president vladimir putin trying to lay the groundwork for that new relationship is going to look like. marcus? >> we'll be watching that. tracie potts in washington, thank you, tracie. coming up, you can watch that exclusive interview tonight on "nightly news" at a new time, 6:30. a hot topic these days, pandemic related protections for renters struggling to make it in the bay and with the state ban winding down, the future of those eviction bans is up for debate in a lot of places, including in marin county, supervisors today debate extending the ban for unincorporated areas until the end of september, in the meantime, santa rosa leader also debate pulling out of sonoma county's eviction ban. according to "the press democrat "the idea is getting blowback from renter advocates but business entities are actually pushing for it. happening today, if you live on the peninsula and see smoke it may be something planned.

firefighters plan to conduct a controlled burn at the san andreas and pilarcitos dams. the goal is maintain access for dam inspections ahead of fire season. the burn will start at 9:00 this morning so don't be too alarmed if you see smoke there. >> absolutely. speaking of that smoke, too, what about the wind today? meteorologist kari hall is tracking that for us. what are we expecting today? >> it's still going to be breezy but the crews know exactly when is the best time weather wise to do some controlled burns so as we get a live look outside in the tri-valley, we're getting you out the door with a cool start this morning, and it will still be breezy but just not as windy as it was yesterday. temperatures go from the low 50s to the mid-60s and then we'll only see it go up a few more degrees from there as we reach into the upper 60s for today. we will warm up for the weekend, we'll talk about that in a few minutes. mike, any crashes, anything slowing people down headed to work? >> i don't want to mess things

up but it's been pretty calm. the bay bridge toll plaza has the backup just like we talked about forming in the last few minutes. in the middle lanes and as we look at your map, part of the reason is because of the slowing on the incline but things have smoothed out and there was a lot of focus getting into san francisco on the decline, i think it smoothed out because they should have the metering lights turned on right about now. the other issue in the last few minutes a disabled vehicle eastbound getting away from the bay bridge as you route university overcrossing through berkeley, a disdistraction, and westbound slowing the focus we'll watch that closely for you. the rest of the bay a build through concord and mayor island for 37 and san jose the early build is starting to clear up. here is the least, ketchup, soda cans, meat, now beverages, pandemic related shortages appear to be causing a whole new problem. coming up next on "today in the bay," the big impact it may have on your coffee house order this morning. >> oh, say it isn't so.

by the colonial pipeline, you recall colonial was hit by a ransomware attack, the doj was able to trace the path of the bitcoin and seize tens of millions from the hackers. bitcoin easy to track across the internet, one of the features of bitcoin. twitch turns 10 years old today, started in a bedroom in san francisco, was created for video game players to broadcast their games and people would watch. it then expanded to cooking classes, yoga lessons, all kinds of things. eventually purchased by amazon for $1 billion. >> i don't think we knew back then that it would be what it came today, 2020 obviously was a difficult year for many and we're super honored to have been able to be there to support people and connecting relationships, but i think now looking back, we should have probably seen it back then that passion, that connection, wanting to be with other people around the things that we love. >> this is the guy, justin kan, the san franciscan who created twitch, he was a kid at the time.

justin tv, he strapped a camera to his head. in real time, and so many people reme kind of silly hobby becomes this idea of live video stream becomes twitch becomes $1 billion and such like many of the usual bay area story. >> no kidding and reality tv, peer in everyone's life. >> it's a whole new channel, not new but ten years old but fascinating stuff. i like people to watch me very much because my paycheck depends on it. >> hello. >> not personal life. >> certainly not, no. >> not after 5:00. >> meet mr. washington. >> thanks, scott. we all like our daily cup of joe around here but you may have noticed something different, missing from the starbucks menu lately like a lot of other

all because of a lack of rainfall we had this past winter and so our reservoir levels continue to drop as a result of us using water just now heading into the driest months of the year, and we've seen the reservoir levels drop down as low as 26.9% of capacity around our bay area reservoirs. marcus and laura? >> so concerning, thanks, kari. >> bob redell is live in san ramon and the drought related water reductions are not only the problem, part of the problem, we talk about water bills about to go up for some people in the bay area and really going to cause a lot of issues for some people. >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus and laura. later east bay mud which provides water for about 1.4 million people here in san ramon and throughout the rest of the east bay, they're expected to vote on whether or not to raise rates by 4%, a rate increase that goes into effect this upcoming july and also to vote

buying it the price is ten times what it was two years ago, but actually transferring it, going into the regulatory process. >> reporter: because the valley water district is a wholesaler, it's up to each city and water company to decide how to meet the proposed mandatory restrictions. assuming they go into place. options in the past included so-called water cops, fines and watering restrictions set to certain days. we reached out to san jose water which issued this statement and i'm quoting, "we are currently closely monitoring our local supplies and preparing contingency plans in response to valley water's call for mandatory conservation." but the company did not say if their water rates would go up as a result. reporting live in san ramon, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, before you go, have any other bay area counties taken some similar actions here? >> reporter: we know east bay mud and the san francisco public utilities commission asked for voluntary 10% reductions in

"today in the bay's" cierra johnson joins us live in san francisco where it's looking more and more like a popular pandemic fixture may be here to stay, talking about the little parklets where you can dine outside. >> reporter: yes, good morning. these parklets really became a fixture within the city when some businesses only have the option to dine al fresco and as you mentioned these structures could become a permanent fixture that's because san francisco supervisor took a vote and they are now one step closer. this is acording to "the chronicle." san francisco supervisors voted in favor of the program. the next step would be a public hearing that would take place

june 18th, followed by a full vote by the board of supervisors a few days later on june 22nd. this vote comes after governor gavin newsom made a stop in the bay area not only to share his support of the permanent parklets but to announce that another concept made popular by the pandemic those cocktails to go would remain in the state. and while some restaurants are hoping to recoup some of that money they lost during the pandemic, san mateo county supervisors are working on a fund to help an array of businesses bounce back. if supervisors approve the san mateo county environmental health relief program, businesses like pools, spas in san mateo county could receive funds to help cover things like state inspections, the inspections help those businesses remain open. in vallejo financial news there, councilmembers are expected to vote on a nearly

$264 million budget and it appears the general fund revenue is expected to be about 15% higher than the previous year. that's a sign that the city is bouncing back, so many communities are working to bounce back, recoup the money they lost during covid. we'll keep you updated on that vote there in san mateo county as well as the future of packlets a couple more steps. we'll keep you updated every step of the day. we're moving you forward in san francisco, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> cierra, thank you. everything seems to be on track for full reopening of california schools next fall. the latest official data puts it at 99.34% of all california school districts doing in-class learning. that's with the aster risk, the remaining is likely a report of errors. today the city will open up

in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you, kris. turning to the white house now, president biden is getting ready for his trip to europe and in the meantime vice president harris is in mexico. >> scott, you said she made what you're calling a daring speech. >> remember harris has zero experience with foreign policy, she was california's attorney general, senator, so presumably she has the ability. but all eyes on her as she represents the united states in a foreign land for the first time. now this is video of harris arriving in mexico, she'll meet with the president of mexico to talk about immigration and the pandemic today. yesterday she was in guatemala city meeting with the president of guatemala. the headline is she told potential immigrants to stay home. don't come to america. you probably heard that sound bite. but i want to bring your attention to another part of her speech where she said out loud at the capitol to tv cameras that the united states needs

guatemala's government to clean up its corruption, saying it, while standing next to the president of guatemala. >> the issue of corruption, the conversation that i had with the president today was very frank, and very candid, and i think it was a quality he and i appreciate in each other. we don't have time for bluffing over concerns that we have. >> the justice department just announced it will continue to defend former president trump in a lawsuit brought by this woman, newspaper columnist e. jean carroll. trump said carroll was lying when she accused him of sexual assault. don't call me a liar, i'm telling the truth. he said this while he was president and that's key. so the question becomes does the fact that he was president at at the time he called an accuser a liar was part of his official duties and therefore he should be defended by government lawyers?

the doj under bill barr said yes but now the doj under merritt garland says they agree, yes, they should, the government is saying "speaking to the public and press on matters of public concern is undoubtedly part of an elected official's job, the questions were posed to him in his capacity as president." to be clear, as far as the original accusation of sexual assault, doj is not going to defend him on that. the allegation predates his presidency. they'll defend him for calling the alleged victim a liar, that happened during his presidency. we'll watch what vice president harris does in mexico and cover that on twitter. find me there, i'm @scottmcgrew. >> thanks, scott. 6:49. new details on a time line for a vote to recall governor newsom from office. the website calmatters spoke with political experts. many believe a recall vote will happen on a tuesday between mid-september and early november, and it may be sooner rather than later.

>> absolutely. >> brothers together maybe, i don't know. >> but here, not there. >> no kidding. >> we're not post being that at all. 76ers of a different kind, maybe temperature wise here in the bay area, kari? >> we'll keep it below that for today. it will be nice in the upper 60s for a lot of spots, especially in the south bay, take a look at our high temperature for san jose, 69 degrees and 70 in milpitas. 71 in gilroy. seven-day forecast bottom of our screen. east bay temperatures reaching 72 in antioch. oakland today 65 degrees and we'll see some temperatures near the coast in the upper 50s and 66 degrees today in redwood city. some low 60s in san francisco downtown but still in the upper tickets ingelside and for the yb highs reaching 68 degrees in sonoma. 69 in santa rosa. we have a strong onshore wind bringing in cool ocean area as

bridge, a note for the south bay your typical san jose slowing. 92 looks like things might be smoothing out. i thought i saw the crew starting to move west across that flat section. by the time you hit the high-rise could you see cars moving smoothly over the span, the dumbarton bridge a much smoother, easier ride than the san mateo bridge right now. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now, sonoma county looking to ban styrofoam containers and nonrecyclable an nonbiodegradable takeout packages. county supervisors will examine the long delayed proposal that could come up for a vote in august. six sonoma county cities, petaluma and sebastopol are already using similar ordinances. coming up next, breaking news on "today in the bay," a massive internet outage impacting numerous companies overnight. what you needhead out the door. you're watching "today in the bay."
