needed future academies which will significantly reduce police staffing and delay response to oaklanders in the time of crisis and force our officers to work more overtime shifts which are expensive and unsafe for officers and residents alike. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks for the latest there, bob. 6:37. stunning new numbers out this morning, about the pandemic and the effectiveness of the covid vaccine. new analysis finds nearly all deaths and hospitalizations are now striking people who were not vaccinated. the new data covers cdc numbers from may. a 150 deaths of the 18,000 total involved were people who were vaccinated. about 1% of hospitalizations involved those fully vaccinated. a live look in los angeles where new cases of the delta variant are on the rise of 123 people confirmed to have most recently been infected, 110

"today in the bay's" jay gray live outside the courthouse with today's sentencing hearing. good morni >> good morning to you. we are outside the hennepin county courthouse a spot where more than a year after george floyd's death protesters gathered demanding justice and today they find out what that justice is. more than two months after he was led from the courtroom in handcuffs a convicted murderer, derek chauvin will learn later today how long he may stay behind bars. >> what's been happening in the last two months is that both lawyers have written memos what they think the sentencing should be. >> reporter: look, defense attorney eric nelson requesting time served and probation saying he should walk from the courtroom after today's hearing because he

was, quote, unaware he was committing a crime. in fact, in his mind, he was simply performing his lawful duty assisting other officers in the arrest of george floyd. s prosecutors have asked for a 30-year sentence here. the state guidelines fall between 10 to 15 years, but judge peter cahill has already said there are aggravating factors in this case which would allow for a stiffer sentence. >> jay, leading up to and during the trial we saw such heavy security in and around the courthouse, many of the downtown buildings are boarded up. what's it like there now? >> reporter: yeah a completely different scene here, laura. during the trial we had national guard troops on nearly every corner here in the downtown area. they're nowhere to be seen. there are police patrols but nothing out of the ordinary. no boards, all the businesses are opened up, so a big change here. still a lot of people paying attention including law

enforcement for what happens later today. >> as you were saying, of course a lot of people paying attention especially until today's verdict that will be something a lot of people are saying will be emotionally charged for both law enforcement as well as the activists, last night nbc bay area cheryl hurd spoke with the president of oakland's police officer association. >> she talked about the changes following george floyd's murder. talked about the elimination of the controversial neck hold. >> right across the profession in the golden state and the governor and the peace officer and training commission eliminated that as an appropriate use of force by police officers, responding to what we've seen there and ensure we don't use that moving forward. >> he also points out the city of oakland had not allowed the neck hold in more than a decade. coming up on the "today" show, craig melvin will have a live report from minneapolis.

he's going to sit down with floyd's family attorney ben crump as well as floyd's cousin ahead of today's sentencing. you can watch that interview at 7:00, right after "today in the bay." a mystery off the coast of san diego. right now you're looking at new video of a dolphin pod swimming through one of two oil sheens discovered over the weekend. the whale watching crews saw the sheen and flew a drone over it. one spill is floating near point loma. the other near san clemente island and the coast guard is calling them diesel spills that will break up naturally but not clear how that happened. one no doubt about it home run for the bay area. we've got a look at oracle park reopening at 100% capacity for the first game of the bay bridge series. going to take you there with "today in the bay's" cierra johnson. she's live in san francisco this morning taking us out to the ball game for just a minute and tell us what we can expect if

we're lucky enough to go. >> reporter: good morning, laura. game one of the bay bridge series will look a little different than some of the previous games because for the first time in a long time, this stadium behind me opening at full capacity. now when those doors opened or when the game starts at 6:45 there are things that have been different other than full capacity than previous games, one being folks don't have to show that proof of vaccination or that they have that negative test upon entry here at oracle park and what about face masks? according to the giants website, face coverings are strongly recommended particularly for those fans that are not fully vaccinated. another change those north bay fans can once again get to the giants game by ferry. golden gate ferry relaunching its special event service to and from the park, $15 each way. so as we get into the full swing of summer, some -- going to those games a lot of other teams are jumping on board. some of the gooinz divisional

rivals the dodgers and padres have been open since the state reopened for full capacity and when the a's face the range es for their first home game or return on tuesday they will be at full capacity. so this summer will feel a little more like a typical summer than it has in a long time. we're live in san francisco, cierra johnson, for "today in the bay." cierra has the coat on but hopefully the weather will warm up a little bit ready for the baseball games. >> not oracle park. it's always chilly out there once the fog rolls in. we're seeing the low clouds even rolling over towards the south bay so we're starting out with some mild temperatures and this is where we're headed reaching 79 degrees in san jose but some of our clearer spots in the inland east bay will heat up to 88 degrees. it could be as hot as 97 today in ukiah. compare that to the 79 we'll see in santa rosa, with a

northwesterly wind in san francisco, staying in the 60s today, oakland reaching 69 degree. we're going to see a wide range in temperatures and that will continue this weekend especially as the ocean breeze we've been getting replaced by some high pressure. this is going to ramp up the temperatures especially for the pacific northwest. historic heat here with some of those spots like portland, oregon, reaching over 100 degrees. going to be watching that in the headlines over the next few days as they could possibly get the hottest temperature they've ever had. we're going to warm up just a little bit and we'll reach into the upper 80s and low 90s for the inland valleys into next week. what's going on with the commute? >> the bay bridge, the crash, quickly clearing or at least slowly clearing i guess. slow roller reported getting that crash off at harrison street. i believe it cleared. speeds are improving across the span. it was not enough backup to cue the metering lights so a smoother flow despite the slowing that shows for west 80
