many bay area school districts are making vaccines mandatory? >> yeah, that's the talk in a lot of different communities, but only children 12 and up will be subject to a vaccine mandate because the vaccine for younger children is not approved yet. that could change, because as you know this time yesterday pfizer submitted its data for children 5 to 11 to the fda for emergency use authorization. it shows the smaller dose for the smaller bodies reduces a robust immune response similar to adults with full doses. 8% more children tested positive for covid since the tkpweuping beginning of the pandemic. that's according to the american academy of pediatrics. the authorization may not come until late october.

marin county in the hills. our wind gusts in these areas could reach 35 miles per hour and very low relative humidity. we will see if this gets upgraded to a red flag warning but looks like the winds stay light enough to stayhe vet so dry, we will have to watch that closely as we go into today, and the winds picking up and continuing through tonight, we will have gusty winds tomorrow. temperature wise staying comfortable with 60s near the coast, and 70s for much of the inner bay and low to mid-80s for warmest spots inland. we'll talk about more changes ahead, but like give us a look at dublin? >> yeah, 580 we had a big rig crash and a traffic break, and now as the volume starts to build, look at all these headlines, we do have all lanes cleared approaching the dublin interchange. highway 84 showed a burst of

so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. ask your doctor about dovato-i did. ♪♪ good morning. it's 5:43 and we are an hour away from sunrise. i still love to enjoy the sunrise. this is a picture i got on social media. tag me on your pictures, i'm @karihallweather. here we have a traffic volume rise. slowing on the span, and the

metering lights turned on, and i will check the lines coming up. the governor of texas facing new scrutiny for the recent get tough tactics along the border. abbott is using state troopers and national guards to arrest undocumented immigrants. this week more than 200 people jailed in the operation are being released after weeks of detainment and no charges ever filed. attorneys and immigrant rights groups called the arrests unconstitutional. the president has canceled today's trip to chicago so he can stay closer to congress. >> scott mcgrew joining us now, and so much going on on capitol hill and it's reaching a boiling point. >> yeah, there's a lot boiling in that stew. let's start with paying our

debt. republicans have once again blocked a move to raise the debt ceiling. if we don't raise it america will not be able to pay off its deaths. we never defaulted before. secretary janet yellen said the default would cause catastrophic measures to the economy if we default. keep in mind the debt ceiling goes backward the way your credit card bill does, it covers things we already spent money on, including money we spent during the trump administration, money both parties agreed to spend at the time. money we promised to pay back, red and blue. >> if republicans want to vote to not pay the debts they helped incur, they can all vote no. we are just asking republicans to get out of the way. get out of the way when you are

risking the full-facing credit of the united states to play a nasty political game. >> senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell, has been the lead blocker on the debtissue, and ot noting kevin mccarthy on the right once full supported it, and when the united states makes promises it keeps them which is why the house voted today to avoid the threat of a debt default, an old tweet. there are two spending bills, $1 trillion infrastructure bill, and everybody likes this one, and then the more than $3 trillion spending bill no republican likes, and even some democrats are against. this one could get passed in a heartbeat, so pressure is on nancy pelosi to pass this one now and worry about that one now. they are calling that move

uncoupling. pelosi promised not to do this. earlier she promised to keep the bills together. now liberal democrats are saying if pelosi breaks these apart they will vote the infrastructure bill down even though they like it. we're watching everything that is happening in washington and it's a lot. we're tweeting about it. you can find me on twitter @scottmcgrew. >> thanks, scott. you may want to get the holiday gifts in the mail sooner rather than later even though it's still september. >> bob, the postal service is warning of a slowdown? >> correct. this is part of a ten-year reorganization to save the postal service money and get it out of debt and make it more efficient, so starting this friday a small amount of first class mail could take extra time to arrive to their destination. single piece first class mail could be delivered within the

two-day timeframe, and items traveling from one zone to another could take an extra two days on top of the normal delivery time. starting sunday the postal service will temporarily increase the prices on package deliveries through the end of christmas, so it could be an extra 75 cents to $5 for items. and then the logjam of container ships on the east coast and west coast, and there's two reasons for the logjam. there's a record demand for goods into the united states which increased ship traffic. secondly, there's a shortage of truck drivers and warehouse space to move and store the goods. >> if i am a local farmer trying to get a truck driver to drive my shipment of tomatoes to the market, i might suddenly find my favorite trucking company doesn't have enough truck companies because there are

lucrative jobs that consumer electronics companies are paying a premium for the same service. it's a matter of who has the deeper pockets that is able to buy up all of the available talented and skilled drivers being one of them. >> locally the port of oakland said it handled fewerships last month compared to a year ago, because many ships diverted to avoid the logjam, and then inport cargo was more here. because flu season is coming, some people getting a second shot along with the covid booster shots, and experts pointing out it's not bad

advice. >> and the second thing to think about is protecting the hospital resources from people coming in and being overwhelmed when taking care of flu patients when we have to deal with covid, and then noncovid regular care. >> the first reason to get a double dose flu shot and booster shot is, of course, to protect yourself from the virus. more people traveling and getting together during the holidays, medical experts are more concerned about a possible twindemic emerging. they say there's nothing that prevents you from getting both at the same time. if the drought worsens and you use too much water in the east bay, it may cost you more. there's fines for water use limits. first violation results in a warning and second violation is a fine of $2 per 748 gallons used. there are exemptions, including water leaks, meter errors or if somebody has medical problems.
