a magical ten votes. >> neg heating up over voting today on capitol hill. why an effort to expand access may fall short and the sticking point between democrats and republicans. the new video and new information about the mountain lions you've seen roaming around the bay area. "today in the bay" continues right now. it's tuesday morning and good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. first contra costa in san jose expected to take action today to keep people in their homes as the state reopens. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell is live this morning. i know the state could soon be taking similar action as well. >> right, marcus and lara. contra costa county where we're at, that board of supervisors will be voting on whether or not to extend its moratorium on evictions for people who rent. currently that is set to expire june 30th. the supervisors could push that

date back to september 30th giving renters an additional three months to catch up on their rent. the city of san jose considering a similar extension, and the state of california also looking at extending its moratorium until september 30th. california lawmakers are likely to go along with that extension. governor newsom has proposed using federal coronavirus aid to pay off the unpaid rent that people owe. it would take time to distribute that money. some tenant advocacy groups want the nation's most populated state to extend eviction protections until the unemployment rate for low wage workers reaches prepandemic levels but the california department of association says landlords can't afford to wait much longer because many have gone without rent checks for more than a year. reporting live in san ramon, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> we know a lot of californians were hit hard and couldn't work during the pandemic. how much are behind on their rent, do we know? >> yeah. we do actually.

we have a pretty good sense. according to the policy link, they're a research group out of oakland, about 758,000 households here in the state are behind on their rents by around $3.5. the turner center at uc berkeley surveyed around 8600 families, families renting from one of the state's largest nonprofit affordable housing developers. the number of families that fell behind on rent more than doubled during covid with black and single parent households hardest hit. >> hardest thing is trying to catch up. >> absolutely. >> thank you. live look at capitol hill this morning where it's just past 8:00 this morning. an effort to move forward on voting rights is expected to hit a wall in the u.s. senate today. a washington insider, tracie potts, joins us live to explain. the debate largely about how lawmakers really get their business done. >> exactly. so the issue here, laura, is

voting rights, but the mechanism is that filibuster we've heard so much about. the 60-vote requirement to get anything pushed forward and republicans have vowed it is not happening today. >> reporter: a vote is happening in the u.s. senate this afternoon on whether to move forward on voting rights. a bill known as the for the people act, it expands voter registration, early voting and tightens rules around election security, interference, finance, and ethics. >> we don't expect there to be a magical ten votes. >> reporter: ten republicans, that's required to move things forward and that won't happen today. the party is united against it. this bill may never come up for debate. the real question is, how many democrats agree? a handful have said publicly they want 60 votes. support from both parties just to debate. >> that is nowhere to be found in the constitution, and it just

became a tool for obstruction. >> reporter: republicans argue democrats have used the 60 hp vote rule before. >> the same senate rule a democratic minority has used with abandon was now somehow a racist relic. >> are you afraid to debate it? do you not have any good arguments? >> reporter: a compromise voting rights bill introduced by democrat joe manchin failed to get republican support. so after today, it may be back to square one. and that means group like black voters matter, will be swarming washington to try to push this through. they may have more work to do. laura? >> all right. you're always following it for us. thank you. in san francisco, the search is on for this car involved in a hit and run near fisherman's wharf. investigators say the driver hit a woman crossing the street and then just took off. it happened at beach and columbus around 5:00 yesterday

evening. paramedics rushed the woman to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. police say the car that was involved in burglaries in the fisherman's wharf area before that crash. if you have any information take a look at your screen right now, you're asked to call san francisco police. happening today the fight over san jose's historic flea market faces an important step. the flea market is located near the bart station that's been around for around 61 years. city council will vote for a rezoning plan today. more than the 30 acres the market sits on now is set to be developed into offices, apartments and retail shops. some of the vendors are promising a hunger strike to force the city to the bargaining table. new details, mountain lion sightings on the peninsula are on the rise with sightings and encounters increasing in urban areas, the city of san bruno hosted a safety meeting last night. a fish and wildlife expert says that the big cats have always been in that area and as more people get security cameras, of course, we're going to see more

of the images of them wandering through the neighborhoods. biologists say they've had to respond to seven mountain lion incidents in the bay area so far this year. that number >> those incidents have been up and there's no way for us to know exactly why. it could be drought related. it could also be fire related. >> now the california department of fish and wildlife says in some cases the mountain lions move along on their open and other cases like this one in may in san francisco, biologists actually tranquilized the animal and moved them to a suitable habitat. out east right now, cleanup is getting under way after at least two tornadoes tore through the chicago suburbs leaving behind widespread damage. the ef-3 touched down in naperville, another hit in plainfield on sunday night. eight people were injured and more than 20 homes were left uninhabitable. the cleanup is beginning for

residents as naperville's fire chief explains part of the impact was due to the storm's unusual path. >> the intensity was tremendous and the way it came in and struck one house and not the other, and the magnitude that it left, really left us with a big challenge. we had not only the high winds but the rain that was associated with it. >> tough to get to. in the meantime in illinois big cleanup under way in the southeast and the gulf coast as well. tropical storm claudette now out at sea this morning, but not before leaving a path of death and destruction behind. sadly, 14 people were killed in alabama. the system bringing as much as 15 inches of rain in parts of that state. alabama's governor is declaring a state of emergency so the impacted residents can attempt to rebuild. >> just tough. a lot of people talking about that tropical storm. surprised that it actually caused that much damage, but we know we have to take those just

as serious as tornadoes. back in the bay area a look at our forecast. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking those temperatures and kari, certainly the temperatures today, even getting cooler than yesterday, right? >> yes. so it's going to be really nice over the next few days as the cooling trend continues. as you get ready to head out the door in freemont we have low 60s and we will start out with some clouds but this is what's happening to cool us off from the coastal areas to the bay and we'll see our sky clearing heading into late morning into the afternoon. we open reach into the 70s here. take a look at our microclimates and what we're expecting for our high temperatures, 70 in martinez, 70 livermore, 75 in san jose and san francisco in the mid 60s but it will be warm in ukiah reaching into the mid 80sp we're watching this and a weekend warmup. more on that in a few minutes. >> actually, kari, i saw this crash pop up on the map.

looks like van nuys. more detail when i get back to the traffic center. nothing major from the sensor flows showing up. the green all over the place. that's great. there was not a major slow down out of the altamont pass but things got slow as i did the last report, back to my desk and we got word from chp a crash may be blocking your fast lane on west 580. that's not the whole deal for the slowing. i mean as the roadways starts to narrow, we lessen the lanes, that's where we see the slowing. it's a typical segment. watch grant line road to see if there's focused slowing there, but the last ten minutes have seen a smooth drive as expected. easy drive toward the bay bridge. no major surprises and a live look out there shows you traffic through the north bay, a steady smooth stream here southbound 101 the curve before you get to lincoln. back to you. >> thanks so much. heating up, straight series, the social media trend that's raising warm in

temperatures across the world. wall street pretty hot as well. we came off a huge rally and we get important housing data today as well. i'll fill you in. justin bieber sat down with the president of france eman well macron. it's getting attention this morning but not because of what he said. because of what he wore. is this a fashion faux pas or is this okay? we'll weigh in after the break. you're watching "today in the bay."

people today... they could spend half their lives over 50. that's a lot of living. so make sure the good things in life live as long as you do. this is just slo-mo karate? just slo-mo karate. the younger you are, the more you need aarp. join today. the more you need aarp. -great idea. [gasps] look at the little cutie. -he's coming for a visit. -hi.

right now at 5:12, as we get a look at our forecast we're heading out for a run this morning in the south bay, let's check out cupertino. we will have a cloudy start this morning and our temperatures in the upper 50s. more of the low 60s as we head towards 7:00 to 8:00. by noon we're at 71 degrees. very comfortable. we will talk about a cooling trend and what's ahead for a warmer weekend coming up in a few minutes. san francisco just off 101, we have a crash that was off the highway and not a major problem. highway 101 here in palo alto moves smoothly, but we pick up the volume since the last time we took a look. i think i have something new in the east bay coming up. very happy tuesday to you as well. the stock market had a huge rally on monday with the dow gaining nearly 600 points in a day. its biggest rally in months, ending a five-day losing streak.

nasdaq pretty close to records as worried about flaigs, but a recent statement out of the fed said interest rate hikes designed to fight inflation are still pretty far off, helped turn things around. other headlines, google facing a new antitrust investigation in europe. bitcoin continues to fall down 40% from its all-time highs. as for the fed, we'll hear from fed chairman jay powell today as he speaks before congress. now this is a regularly scheduled question and answer session. rarely does it actually create any new headlines, but he is the guy who has lots of control over our economy. also later this morning we get the latest number on home sales and we expect to see the number of homes changing hands to fall because the number of people who simply cannot afford to buy one. prices are up not just here in the bay area, but all over

america and that has another effect. the number of people who cannot afford homes is growing and if they can't buy a home, they rent and that means the number of people who want to rent is growing. rents are going up and likely will continue to go up. as we first reported to you on monday, american airlines is canceling hundreds of flights, flights not just day of because of weather and things but flights in the future. american expects to cancel about 80 flights a day every day through the end of the month. laura and marcus, i have flown three times since becoming fully vaccinated, twice they have changed the flight and when we say cancel they mean that specific flight they will move you to something else, but remember to look at your ticket or your app or what not a couple days ahead of time because the flight you bought and the flight you're going to be on may be two different flights. >> yeah. that's happened to me. >> yeah. >> like phoenix, going through phoenix. i didn't buy that. >> really could make for a longer trip. >> oh, yeah. >> that's tough.

thanks, scott. this morning, marcus, inouye you're helping launch an event to support victims and survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence. >> absolutely. you know what, this is a great event, a serious cause but fun event out there and i'm honored to be part of walk a mile in her shoes not because i love wearing those shoes, but it's for a great cause. i got a little practice in. >> reporter: click, donate and walk. and share your pictures too. we can do this together, right. i'll see you there. like my shoes, right. >> and that walk there, oh, yes, that walk. >> wow. >> oh, yes. and that was, what, last year, no two years ago when we did it in person. they always give me like four inch heels. yeah. they always give me those. >> makes you like 7'3". >> and the walk is back again. oh, yes. the walk. >> we got to work on that a

little bit. little bit. >> look, i encourage everyone going to post more about it, it's on my facebook page. we're going to raise money for now until thursday, 65 hours to participate, walk, make a donation. you can do it anywhere because it's virtual this year. walk in your neighborhood, on a trail, whatever you want to do, do that. >> good for you. >> you don't necessarily have to wear the heels but if you like. >> you know what, as i watch the video you get better and better at it. it's getting better. >> i'm not alone. guys out there two years ago. next year it will be in person. >> i'm supporting you for that. >> speaking of shoes, something else to talk about, one of the biggest pop stars causing an uproar for his choice of footwear. >> what do you think of this? this is a photo of justin bieber and his wife haley with french president emmanuel macron and his wife yesterday. bieber requested the meeting to discuss issues facing youth today, but the singer getting a lot of attention for the kicks wearing sneakers to the face-to-face meeting.

wearing sneakers isn't that surprising for some of us, raj typically wears them on air including last night but that's the look right now with a suit. i bought those once for my dad for father's day. it becomes a look. bieber's were bright and blue running jogging style. >> you know what, i like them. i haven't done that look just yet. but i actually like it. >> there we go. >> i would do it. >> from heels to tennis shoes. >> hey, look. i do it all. >> and you know what -- >> i like her shoes. >> the throwback jordans. those are -- >> i didn't know. that's -- he's styling. >> yeah. >> the kicks. might have been your thing. he's styling and profiling. >> i like her heels. >> those are nice. >> they were nice. i'm not wearing those. 230 pound body won't take it. >> the high heels not the high tops. >> if you're not taking the ankle express we need you out on the roadways so take you to a look at what's going on as far

as the roadways go. we'll show you the maps. the bay bridge toll plaza, first the toll plaza because we did get word, guys, i'm a little concerned about the report, it's kind of buried in the report, wrong-way driver reported at the bay bridge toll plaza and noting over the barrier and that is a concern. we don't see any activity and i haven't heard any chatter but something may be going on near the toll plaza. we may see flashing lights. i'll watch this closely as we get to the maps and show the rest of the drive, it's a smooth drive getting over there. the placeholder for what may be going on near the toll plaza but that view showed us no problems getting on to or off of the bay bridge right now. smooth drive, contra costa county, easy flow of traffic peninsula, south bay, just minor slowing for 84 and also that crash grant line road still over there on 580 but haven't heard about any lanes blocked. easy drive for the drive times, vasco road at speed down to 580. things are warm in that area, but cooler i guess today, right?

>> yes. it's going to be so nice as we get ready to head out the door. the live view in san jose as we are now about 30 minutes away from sunrise and it's a clear start. although we will at times see some clouds rolling by this morning. take a look at these temperatures. wow. make some plans to get outside. mid 70s for the south bay reaching 75 in downtown san jose. gilroy, 73 degrees and 77 in east san jose. for the east bay we're also looking at some mild weather, with some upper 70s in a lot of these spots reaching up to 79 degrees in antioch today. hayward will see a high of 74 there. keeping it cool near the coast a high of 63 in half moon bay. sfraejs in the upper 60s today. our north bay temperatures 76 in sonoma, but 86 degrees today in clearlake. we're seeing a nice cool ocean

breeze picking up going to keep our weather nice and mild but towards the end of the week a lot of changes as high pressure builds. it shifts our wind direction and instead of getting that ocean breeze, we're going to have more of a wind that blows offshore that's going to push back that marine layer an the cooler air that we've been seeing, so look at the trend in napa. we're going from the upper 70s over the next few days to the low 80s on friday and 90s for the weekend. so make sure you're ready for that and put that in your outdoor plans this weekend that you will possibly need to take some breaks from the warm weather with some temperatures reaching into the low to mid 90s. not as warm in san francisco here. we're looking at highs in the mid 70s. in today's climate in crisis we're going to talk about how meteorologists around the world lit up social media showing some bright colors and what's called climate strikes. now this all started with a climate scientist called ed hawkins who created this simple

visual showing that over the course of several years, if the temperature was below normal he put a blue stripe for that year and above normal he put a shade of a red stripe. you can see that for spots like san jose, we're trending warmer, especially in the last 40 years and some of the warmest temperatures are happening more recently. it's as case where pretty much every state and around the globe, and these warmer temperatures are fueling more wildfires, more intense heat waves, as well as drought and, of course, as we know, very well here, some larger wildfires. you can see this trend on social media. type in #showyourclimatestripes and you can see how we're all highlighting climate change and you can see more stories about that at nbcbayarea.com. back to you, laura and marcus. >> thanks. coming up on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> the state has a brand new system to help you prove you're

vaccinated against covid-19. but you have to enroll. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we'll show you how next. what if you could push a button and less carbon would be put into the air.

(man) i've made progress with my mental health. so when i started having unintentional body movements called tardive dyskinesia... ... i ignored them. but when the movements in my hands and feet started throwing me off at work... i finally had to say, 'it's not ok.' it was time to talk to my doctor about austedo. she said that austedo helps reduce td movements in adults... ...while i continue with most of my mental health medications.

"today in the bay" continues now. good tuesday morning. thank you for being part of our morning. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. we begin this morning with those

frightening moments in vallejo after a late night fire. >> the dry continues causing the concern for crews heading into the fire season. we have live team coverage on the fire threat. we'll check in with see rear ya in a moment. we want to bring in meteorologist kari hall. we haven't seen rain in the bay area for weeks now. >> yeah. it's also the reason why we are seeing the exceptional drought right here in the bay area. the dark shades of red shows we're at the highest level of drought and any sparks could definitely spread fast, even whent weather conditions are not favorable. a breezy wind, higher humidity and highs reaching into the 70s, but because the vegetation has dried out to record levels, a small spark could spread very quickly as we go into the next several months. we have to be really careful and

that's something we'll be watching even with cooler temperatures on the way. back to you. >> now want to take you back to the scene of the fire in vallejo and more on the possible cause. >> "today in the bay's" cierra johnson is live with the extent of the damage and what fire crews are saying this morning. cierra. >> good morning, marcus and laura. want to set the scene of how dry the situation is here in vallejo, we're a couple blocks from where the fire started late yesterday evening and this is what this neighborhood looks like. it's a story we've seen across the bay area. it's a story i've been telling you about for several weeks now and as we inch closer to not only the start of fire season but also fourth of july this situation right here pretty concerning. we're going to get to that fire, again started last night. we're in vallejo. crews as far as vacaville responded to that fire in the space between swanzy court and novone street in vallejo around 9:00 last night. fire crews said that strong wind played a factor in howet it und

damaged about ten homes and consumed about ten acres. so far no reports of any injuries but at this point firefighters aren't certain what started the blaze but neighbors said they heard what sounded like fireworks as well as sparklers and shortly after sirens in the grassy area behind their home. take a listen. >> we heard looks like, sounded like gunshots and then the sparkling so we knew that it was fireworks coming from down that way. we were wondering this is the craziest thing to do in a dry season. >> reporter: and as i mentioned, two weeks until fourth of july the city of vallejo created a psa to share the dangers of not only fireworks but sparklers. all fireworks are illegal in the city of vallejo and they say each fire season, sparklers and fireworks cause millions of dollars of damage to property

every fire season. right now crews still looking for the exact cause of that fire as i mentioned. neighbors said they heard what sounded like fireworkses right before the blaze started but back out here, you can see this is what we're dealing with and firefighters are facing as temperatures continue to rise and we inch closer, not only to fourth of july but the fire season. we're live in vallejo, cierra johnson, for "today in the bay." >> so dry across our state. you're right. thanks. 5:34. new video shows the fire that destroyed two homes and threatened several others in pleasant hill. two trucks engulfed in flames in the driveway of a home. this one started on the lorenzo drive just off of highway 680 in pleasant hill about 3:30 yesterday afternoon. contra costa fire says wind played a role in catching a second house on fire. one firefighter was hurt, but he is expected to make a full recovery. fire investigator are searching for the cause. to the pandemic and lot of

people are starting to breathe a little easier with bay area counties aligning with the state dropping those covid restrictions, but with that delta variant circulating at a greater rate the calls to get vaccinated continues. kris sanchez is live at levi stadium with the evolving picture here. kris? >> good morning to you, marcus. the mass vaccination site at levi stadium is going to shut down on thursday only possible because of the same vaccination rate that's making the reopening possible as well. as you mentioned there is the concern over the delta variants which were first identified in india. there have been 349 cases in california. 7% of cases here in santa clara county are that delta variant and about the same in sonoma county. sample.ld tell you not all that's not a lot of overall cases but the concern is that the delta variant is showing to

transmit more easily among people not vaccinated that includes our children under 12 who are not eligible for a shot. the u.s. surgeon general says that's one more reason for the grownups to get vaccinated. >> when you're vaccinated you serve as a wall and barrier to infection coming into your home and to your community. the more of us that can get vaccinated the bigger wall we can build around our children who are still too young to get vaccinated. >> reporter: we're a week past california's reopening date and santa clara is the latest county to align with the state and will begin phasing out local health orders including the requirement for employers to track employees vaccination status. with social distancing and capacity limits gone the san jose giants are going to welcome back fans at full capacity so it will be play ball in the south bay tonight. in santa clarita, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> a lot of people even though

they don't have to wear the mask they're still like i'm masking up just for now. all right. thanks, kris. >> it's become a habit. >> did that at the grocery store. >> wherever you go. it's kind of a way of life. well, now to a follow-up on a story we brought you as breaking news right here on "today in the bay." still no suspect or motives being released in a shooting that killed three people and wounded five others in richmond. police say there were about 100 people at sunday night's party when some people approached and opened fire. richmond mayor says what needs to prevent another tragedy is more police. richmond will be down to 145 officers, 50 fewer than in 2014. he says more officers with would allow for community policing. >> it builds a relationship between the police and the community and it's especially important in richmond where, you know, where we have a large immigrant community. some richmond city council members disagree and have taken

millions of dollars if police and spent them instead on community programs getting at the root cause of crime. they say it has resulted in the city seeing a tee crease of 66% of gun violence over the past several years. a new honor coming today from san jose leaders for the men who died in the vta rail yard mass shooting. city council will adopt a new resolution to remember those victims. four weeks ago tomorrow on may 26th a disgruntled employee shot and killed nine of his coworkers. vta light rail service is still suspended and not clear when it will resume. but agency leaders are expected to meet later this week to take the next steps in restarting that service. we're learning about the hacker who tried poisoning a water treatment plant that served parts of the bay area. the fbi says january 15th a hacker got the user name and password of a former employee. the person was able to log into the computer at an unnamed treatment plant and then

programs the plant used to treat drinking water. the hack wasn't discovered until the following day when the facility changed passwords and reinstalled the programs. no failures were reported and shows no one reported any illness. a follow-up this morning as as promised london breed has shot down plans to offer free muni. she exercised her power to veto. supervisors approved the plan to offer free rides between july 1st and september 30th. breed announced her own attentions. the chronicle reports at least one supervisor is vowing to try to override breed's veto. we want to get a live look outside. where are we going this morning? >> i don't know. >> walnut creek. as we get started there, it is going to be a nice day out there. pretty much no matter where you are across the bay area, right,? >> it's going to be cooler for

our inland areas dealing with that high heat. let's check out pleasant hill in our forecast this morning even though we're starting out with the clouds, that shows the marine layer is back. our temperatures in the low to mid 60s here in the east bay and low 70s by lunch time. another day for lunch outside as we reach into the upper 70s for our warmest spots in the east bay as well as the south bay. we'll talk about a weekend warmup in a few minutes. mike, what's going on with the commute? >> very relieved. we spoke with chp and said there was no merit to the report of a car going through a barrier or off the bay bridge or even the wrong way. there was a car going to a service roadway alongside the freeway and it was okay. good stuff. the flow, great here at the toll plaza. you do start to slow as we look at your map just up the incline right on schedule. typical pattern over here. there is a crash reported near the freemont street exit getting more information. at least a little spectator

slowing. i will let you know if there's anything worse. as far as the build slowing from highway 4 and vasco out of brentwood and discovery bay and looking at south bay, mild build on schedule. back to you. >> all right. thanks, mike. 5:40. cracking down on road rage along state highways. the new change the chp is considering following the tragic shooting of a 6-year-old boy in orange county. in washington, a concentration on those crimes plus voting rights as well to bring you up to speed. >> it's normally associated with luxury, but this limo you see right here in southern california, is providing something else for one couple as they try to make it in the bay. ♪ ♪ i got a plan. [ screaming ] oh my god! man, we really need to work on your planning.

good tuesday morning. we take a live look outside in dublin starting out with a few clouds and a nice cool start this morning. we will see a slow warmup today as we only make it into the upper 70s by this afternoon. we'll have a few more days like this but we'll talk about some changes ahead in our forecast that's coming up in a few minutes. >> what was it like not four minutes we took a look and it was clear, now things are starting to back up at the toll plaza as we said, the slows, 5:44 on schedule, the build happens out of the east bay.

we'll show you where else things are starting to build up. it's 5:44. a follow-up for you, the recent road rage shooting death of a young boy in southern rage incidents.rompting new two suspects are charged in connection with the shooting death of aiden lee yose, he died last month shot while sitting in his car seat as his mother was driving him to school. since then the chp has asked the public for information about other possible road rage incidents involving suspects citing a lack of data on road rage incidents. to more easily access the data the chp is considering tracking it. this morning the ban is back. the ninth circuit court of appeals ruled to put a hold on a judge's decision to overturn california's assault weapons ban. about two weeks ago a federal judge overturned the 30-year ban, but the ruling gave california 30 days to challenge that decision.

that. that means the state's ban n an judge makes a final ruling. president biden blames proliferation of guns for the sudden spike of violence across america. >> but particularly in inner cities. >> the latest crime data from the fbi says murders have spiked up an astonishing 25%. the rest of the data shows crime is largely unchanged but feels less reassuring when murder is up. the president plans to address the issue tomorrow. his first major speech involving crime. yes, guns will be a focus, but so, too, will more money for police and sheriff's department's using leftover money from the covid relief bill. >> so it's an opportunity for the president to speak to what he's going to do to help address that. as we've seen around the country it is a concern of many americans. republicans and democrats too. not necessarily through a

partisan lens. >> getting tough on crime while addressing things like social justice and police violence is a tough tightrope to walk for biden. politicians on his left say things like defund the police, while he's proposing more funding. politician on his right say democrats are too lenient on crime. the thing is, looking historically, biden hasn't been lenient on crime at all. he's the one who ushered the 1994 crime bill through the senate into law, a bill that was extremely tough on crime but many americans and historians think is going way too far. his support for it, he called it the biden crime bill, came up repeatedly as he ran for president with other candidates saying he was too conservative to be a democrat. as you remember leading the charge was fellow candidate kamala harris who herself pretty strong record of being tough on crime but hit biden with accusations over and over during the debates. the senate today will have a simple vote dealing with the proposed voting rights act.

the ideas in the bill are supported by many republicans and democrats alike. it will call for a national i.d. program, something democrats apparently support as well as expanding protection for voters and election officials. today's vote shouldn't be that important. it's procedural, except if enough republicans line up against it, nothing will get done. the entire bill cannot move forward. senate rules call for 60 votes to move ahead and doesn't look line the bill has it which will increase pressure for democrats to get rid of the filibuster. we'll watch that and everything happening in washington. jay powell testifies before congress. find me on twitter at scott mcgrew. >> we talk about how hard it is to make it in the bay but making it in southern california as well, also can be a very steep hill to climb. >> homeless hollywood couple are living in a limo. take a look at this. jimmy says he's been on the

streets for years now and when the opportunity to purchase the limousine came up, he used what little money he had to buy it. >> you get judged a lot. people pass us up or especially me, i got got tattoos on my face people think i'm a thug. it is what it is. >> now nbc affiliate down in l.a. reached out to l.a. homeless services who says that they plan to reach out to the couple, but it will be up to them whether they will actually accept that help. if you smell smoke in the north bay it might be because cal fire is conducting a prescribed burn in napa county. it will take place about 7:00 this morning off of snell valley road not far from pope valley. fire crews plan to burn about 60 acres of grass part of the vegetation management project. i took time off last week and made all the way up to tahoe, coming through the sacramento valley and to the

central sclooe and you can see how dry it is and how vegetation management is important. no wind in store? >> we have cooler temperatures, lighter winds and also a very favorable weather pattern. as we get a look at where we're starting this morning, some upper 50s, low 60s, nice cool start to the day and with these clouds moving in, that's our marine layer that's going to help keep our coastal areas cool and help us out in the valleys too. santa clara valley with our high in the mid 70s, san jose 76 in morgan hill, we'll see a high of 77 in concord today. freemont reaching 75 degrees and upper 60s in oakland. we'll see a high of 72 degrees today in redwood city. for the most part, san francisco is going to stay in the 60s this afternoon and our north bay temperatures are anywhere from 66 in mill valley to 86 in

clearlake. there will be warm spots but overall, our cooling trend continues, but there will be changes ahead. we'll start to see high pressure building and instead of getting that marine layer, those morning clouds, and that ocean breeze picking up, that wind coming from the west, we'll get a wind direction that will blow those winds offshore and that's going to heat up those temperatures, especially for saturday and sunday. our temperatures going up. let me show you the trend for san jose. through at least the end of the week, we're looking at highs in the 70s here, but check out the weekend we'll go from the upper 70s to the mid 80s and it's going to be even warmer for some of those inland spots as we could see mid 90s for the weekend. so we'll focus on the next few days. it's going to make it great for the outdoor activities in san francisco, upper 60s but wfl warm up to the mid 70s next week. mike, you're watching a rumor on the bay bridge but looks good now.

>> a scary rumor, someone reported a wrong-way driver and someone off the bridge. chp we talked to them and said no merit to the report. nothing like that going on. that's good news. the bay bridge is showing a backup over the last ten minutes, a slow build here on schedule, lighter volume indicated how slow it's building here. the approach looks great out of the maze. a crash near freemont that may have had a little spectator slowing, more slowing down, so the metering lights may be slow to start further and may cause more backup. the rest of contra costa county looks great. highway 4 shows more traffic, slowing building through the area and slowing for san jose on schedule. there was a little more a few minutes ago but the live camera did show things bunching up in napa starting to move smoothly, gentle slowing from 680 to elm rock. back to you. happening now, if you haven't upgrading to a real i.d. yet, you can do so now with no

additional costs. the dmv announced it's waiving the upgrade fees through the end of the year. it requires an in person visit which most could not do during the worst of the pandemic. it's seen as a way to get more people on board to move more quickly. everyone will be required to have a real i. by may of 23e. >> much more ahead on "today in the bay" including making history. the raiders player making headlines for the announcement he made on social media. and the show of support he's getting. states have [ inaudible ] it comes with legislators placing a strong emphasis on fears that kids would later regret their choice. however dr. wasman, for reproductive health says he believes kids are capable of making those decisions. watch the full interview check out that story and others like it on our new platform at nbc lx 1115 over the air, 185 on
