pollution in the air. it's ground level ozone from the temperatures heating up as well as a little bit of breeze that kicks up later this evening. the southern sierra wildfire smoke coming in is also adding to all of the solution. we are going to see some improvements head into tomorrow. i will talk more about that, and temperatures. 5:01. new data suggesting people that received johnson & johnson's vaccine is more protected with a booster shot. for many people two months passed a long time ago, and the company says a booster is given six months out provides even better protection. the fda says its awaiting enough data to make the call on the j&j booster. the deadly pandemic, the

>> reporter: because the pandemic is still ongoing, several u.n. meetings this week will be held virtually or even away from new york city itself. as a matter of fact, the president is returning here to washington this afternoon the have a meeting with uk prime minister, boris johnson. >> yesterday we reported the white house announced it would revoke travel bans on visitors from 33 countries which was implemented to curb the spread of covid-19. how will that play out at the u.n. this week? >> you have to imagine that it will be pretty popular among the u.s. allies especially in europe. in june at the summit in great britain, some of the allies were

pressuring president biden to rescind that travel ban and now that it has happened you can imagine they are happy about it. >> the united nations address expected to begin at 7:00 a.m., and we will live stream it on our nbc bay area app. justin trudeau won the country's parliamentary election. his gamble to win the majority of seats failed. he said they have given him a clear mandate to get canada through the pandemic. >> you are sending us back to work with a clear mandate to get canada through the pandemic and to the brighter days ahead. my friends, that's exactly what we are ready to do. >> trudeau has been prime minister of canada since 2015 and the leader of the liberal party since 2013. turning to immigration, migrants continue to arrive today. this is at a camp between mexico

in brentwood in the upper 50s now, already at noon, 85 degrees as our temperatures today head for the upper 90s in the inland east bay. yes, definitely pool weather, laura. we'll talk more about what is ahead coming up. mike, you have a crash? >> yeah, this is southbound 101, and the speed sensors starting to recover again. i think there was a traffic break around trepl bull. after that just past brokaw is where the crash was blocking right two lanes. i think they cleared vehicles to the shoulder judging by the speed sensors. a smooth drive south of there, and northbound with your commute, an easy drive. westbound your build just a little out of the altamont and no problems at the toll plaza or the span. >> glad it's looking good. typical home values in some

bay area's zip codes are soaring into the millions as people are trying to find homes to make it in the bay. some top the typical home value is around 1.8 million. pleasanton coming in at 1.6 million. 5:11. coming up, it's a tiktok challenge leaving behind a mess in school bathrooms. why one move is putting kids at list. a play list curated for those that cannot hear. how it works and how one bay area's comedian got to contribute.

look like standard traffic here, but there could be slowing. there's a crash and there could be complications in that area. taking a look at the futures right now. a big selloff on wall street yesterday but looks like the futures rebounding a bit. we'll check the market when it opens up our time. and then the cvs is hoping to fill 25,000 positions. the event takes place this friday. and then jeff bezos, his pledge claims to protect 30% of the earth's land and sea by

southbound 101 issue. slowing cleared and that's the good news. no more sensors other than green southbound 101 just past brokaw. that's the good news. we had a traffic break. we had a big rig and another vehicle on its roof, and that sounds dramatic, but chp says there's no lanes blocked. out of the altamont, a little more slowing. here's the bay bridge. no slowing at the toll plaza here, kari, but the taillights are head into san francisco. there's plenty of them. >> yeah, there are. busy out there this morning. let's get a look outside in san jose. we are starting out clear and it will start to look smoky today. right now we are at 62 degrees. the earlier the better in terms of air quality temperatures. we can see our temperature trend

going up. at noon we are 87 degrees. getting a look at our 7-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen as we go hour-by-hour with our smoke forecast. where we see the yellows and greens, that indicates hazy to unhealthy air qualities for people who are sensitive and that includes children and the elderly, people who have breathing problems, limit time outside especially this afternoon for parts of the north bay. tomorrow morning we wake up to a hazy sky and it looks to clear out as we have an ocean breeze picking up. southern california and the fires there are pushing up into the bay area so that smoke will be coming in. as our temperatures heat up today we are adding ozone to the smoke and that's why it's a spare the air alert day. napa headed towards 94 degrees. concord, 96. livermore reaching 97.

southwestern part of the country. if you are thinking, great, i love summers. think about the impacts of the warmer weather. there's a longer allergy season and fire seasons and worst air pollution, and people running air-conditioners for longer, and that puts more greenhouse emissions in the air, and has a negative impact on animals. you can find out more on the impacts of warming on our website by going to nbcbayarea.com and click on climate in crisis. coming up, nbc bay area responds. >> if your car is right you will not notice your cat lickit converter, but you will if it's stolen. that's next. and then bob redell used to

can you see my wall of smiles? when i first started using genesys technology i was kind of embarrased at all the love and attention i got from my customers. people are so moved by how much i understand about them. they start including me in their lives. that's helen and her friends. i arranged a wellness retreat for them. look at those ladies. such wisdom. mmm. but it's really genesys that helps me understand people and what they truly need. i'm just glad i can help. dear ms, from day one you've tried to define me. but i never invited you in. it's my life and this is my journey. i've found a way to do things differently with ocrevus, an infusion treatment that's 2-times-a-year. for adults with relapsing or primary progressive forms

of multiple sclerosis, ocrevus is proven effective in reducing relapses in rms and slowing disability progression in rms and ppms. don't take ocrevus if you've had a life-threatening allergic reaction to it, or have hepatitis b. tell your doctor about vaccinations or if you've had hep b, as it could come back. a common side effect of ocrevus is infusion reactions, and some may require hospitalization. it can increase your risk of infections, which can be serious, and may decrease certain types of immunoglobulins. while pml was not reported in clinical trials, it could happen. an increased risk of cancer, including breast cancer, may exist. sorry, ms. you don't get to control every part of me ms can't own us. ask your doctor about two-times-a-year ocrevus.

vaccinating children. we dive into what it means for the safety of your family. plus, evictions looming and the state's ban is set to expire in a matter of days. what one east bay county is doing to help residents make it in the bay. this is "today in the bay." good tuesday morning to you. thank you so much for joining us. i am laura garcia. >> i am marcus washington. let's begin with a live look outside. the sun is coming up and the haze is expected into the south and east bay from the fires burning in the sequoia national forest. >> let's bring in meteorologist, kari hall. she has been tracking unhealthy conditions for us, kari. >> yeah, it's going to be unhealthy for people with breathing problems, children and

the elderly need to limit time outside as we look at the measure of the particulate matter over 100, and that's how much smoke and pollutants are in the air, and it's high. it's not only the wildfire smoke but the ground level ozone and it will be pretty bad late morning into early afternoon, and then the sea breeze will help to move out the smoke and ozone. we will track that and talk about how hot it gets this afternoon coming up if a few minutes. >> we'll check back with you. johnson & johnson announced real-world data on the protections its vaccine is offering long term. >> the news comes after pfizer announces it's ready to get fda approval for children. >> phase 3 data, also real-world

data shows long lasting protection. the single dose is 79% effective against infection. 81% effective against hospitalizations related to covid. but with a booster given two months after, it's 94% effective even against the delta variant now fueling our current case surge. the real world data comes from the data from 390,000 people who got the johnson & johnson shot with 1.5 million people of similar age who did not. let's move on now and talk about the pfizer vaccine for elementary school aged kids. pfizer said it's ready to ask the fda for approval for children 5 to 11 years old.

dosing about one-third of what adults and older kids get. pfizer will submit the data to the fda by the end of september. for some parents protection can't come soon enough, and others need more reassurance. >> if my children were between 5 and 11 and we had fda approval, absolutely they would be the first in line. >> something i would consider, considering children go to daycare and school and bring back viruses. >> i am not too sure it would be safe for kids and not too comfortable with it yet. >> cases of children nationwide surged by 240% since july. >> what about here in california? what is that looking like? >> we are surging to a lesser extent because we have a high vaccination rate here in the bay area, but in california about

3,600 children have been injected and 35 have died. parents are getting daily notices on campus and that might affect their decision on whether or not to go with the vaccine. >> thanks so much, kris. marin health leaders applauding the county surpassing the 90% vaccination rate. more than 97% of the county's population received at least one dose. covid cases there also the lowest in the area. leading the nation with the lowest rate of covid transmission, and meanwhile every other state in the high category. currently the state's positivity rate is at 3%. that's about half of what it was a few weeks ago. health experts say that it's lower than the cdc guidelines require when it comes to masks. >> here in san francisco we are

now down to low rates of transmission by one of the metrics which is the positivity rate which is less than 5%, and we are at 2.3%, and it's going to be up to health officials here, but by the cdc criteria we could lift mask mandates here in san francisco. >> and then an antiviral oral medication can treat covid at the first sign of symptoms and the first round of trials begins next week. >> if it reduces the disease in the outpatient setting, we will have a antiviral soon. later this morning, contra costa county will decide whether to extend it's moratorium of evictions. bob redell joins us from walnut

creek this morning. some of the time is running out for some of the renders statewide. >> reporter: correct. good morning, laura. renters statewide that have not been able to pay their rent due to the pandemic, they have been protected from evictions and the moratorium of the evictions expired next week. in a few hours the contra costa county board of supervisors will decide whether to extend the moratorium. if passed residential tenants in contra costa county would still be protected and small business tenants would not. they would be evict

that association presents.lords just under $3 billion. the feds approved rent help in california and the state handed out just under $500 million in rent relief in the state. >> it's good that we look at both sides of the issue as well. thanks, bob. 5:37. later this morning, improving student literacy rates. the goal is for all third grade

firefighters will be dealing with hotter weather today. this is after a slighted improvement of those conditions yesterday. >> some of my favorite places on earth, sequoia and tahoe. this is what you could be waking up to this morning, taking a live look outside overlooking san jose. there's haze in the air. a spare the air alert has been issued as well. we have to be careful with kids outside, too, kari. >> yeah, we think about that, too, because sometimes lunches outside and recesses, and today will be one of the indoor days because of that. when we have a spare the air alert day it's better to catch public transit that reduces the amount of pollutants we are putting in the air, and if you could carpool, that would be good, or work from home. we are going to start to see a lot of the smoke coming in by late morning. temperatures will be warming up. look at had you hot it will be this afternoon, reaching up to 94 in napa, and 88 in hayward, and 97 in livermore and antioch.

morgan hill headed up to 93 degrees. 91 in san jose. we're going to talk more about this coming up. mike, you have another crash in san jose? >> yeah, i think we may have three crashes working in san jose. the worst of them with the most impacts right now, your three left lanes blocked northbound 880, and that's the winding road here, and it's montague expressway. got a backup down to 101. and that slowing off they are coming off north 101 at the same time that we typically see the first burst of traffic coming into san jose, and that could be a complicating factor. 101 is moving smoothly past both crashes northbound and southbound, so no major problems there as the slowing goes. if you have time to make a choice, take 680 north in

through milpitas and cross over on mission or cal various. we saw the metering lights activated at 5:35. then the agency is considering three options and asking residents to fill out a survey before the end of the month. trains are running at 75% of precovid hours. ridership is set to be at 45% prepandemic levels. coming up, we return from a trip across the u.s. without her, and now he's missing as well, and his home declared a crime scene. what we could learn about the investigation in abby petito's disappearance. why thousands of employees are suing disneyland. and this new nasa project

expressway. the backup is forming early. that's my view of the bay area right there. it's clear. we are starting out with the clear sky this morning and we are going to see not a lot of fog but a hazy sky. temperatures heating up today. take a look at our highs. 95 in gilroy. air-conditioning up full blast today. hayward reaching 88. even near the coast, you are going to have warmer temperature. palo alto, 94 this afternoon. 88 in the mission district in san francisco. 93 in santa rosa, and 96 at ukiah. yes, we are going to have heat today.

not only that but more smoke coming in. i am stopping here at noon because this is when a lot of kids head out for recess or are doing their outdoor lunch and for a lot of schools i think it will be inside today. it will be unhealthy for kids to be out there for long period of time. in the north bay, we will see it turning unhealthy for sensitive groups, and that means children, the elderly and people with breathing problems. we should wake up with clear air tomorrow, and so one day of limiting our time indoors or outdoors, and we are going to be seeing a lot of the smoke surge in from the south. as we go into the rest of the week, it's all clear. then we will start to see a storm system developing to the south. we were hoping this could really bring relief to the fires near the sequoia national forest, but it looks like some of the models are backing off on the rain chances. we will srl to watch for that. our temperatures are going to be

hot, not only today but throughout the week. the first few days of fall, we're looking at temperatures in the low 90s. it will feel better this weekend with low to mid-80s in the inland areas and san francisco going from 86 today to 69 degrees on the first day of fall. big drop in temperatures, but that's the difference the fog will make. now turning to our climate in crisis, and "today"'s al roker has what is causing pollution in our air. here's a hint. it's not from your car. >> coming up, i have an eye opening report about the sources of smog and air pollution. we think it's caused by car emissions and factories, and even cows. almost half of the polluted air we are breathing is coming from products like paint, deodorant

and shampoo, and even the scented trash bags, they are adding pollutants. they have a state of the art mobile lab taking the carbon footprint. we drove around hollywood, and so coming up on the third hour of today we will show you how the mobile lab works and how the ground-breaking discoveries can help us correct the problem and clean up the air we breathe. tune into the "today" show for a big announcement from me and the climate team. the week-long climate series is just the beginning and i am really excited to share today's plans with you. >> join nbc all this week for c challenge. the extremes, we will examine the human toll of the climate
