want to say good tuesday morning to you. i am marcus washington. >> i am laura garcia. before we get started, we want to congratulate one very lucky person this morning. the winning powerball ticket was finally sold -- finally after rolling over so many times. >> yeah, just one person. >> right here in california. >> right here in california, waking up a millionaire. not too far from us either. we'll have more on that ahead this morning. nobody here. we're all accounted for. >> well, we could come to say good-bye. but we're not. >> let's go to kari hall for the forecast. >> cooler air is arriving into the bay area. the first system arrives today. i am so excited. we will see better air quality. we are seeing it improving near the coastline and in parts of the bay.

the green dots mean good air quality, but moderate for the south bay and tri-valley. look at the temperatures and where we are headed. antioch reaching into the low 80s. we'll talk about the cooling changes ahead in our forecast. that's coming up in a few minutes. >> sounds good. we'll check back with you. 5:02, on capitol hill, lawmakers will hear from the facebook whistle-blower, and she's accusing the company of putting profits over user safety. >> our scott mcgrew is look into the impact of facebook, but first chris pallone is live in washington with what we can expect from today's hearing. >> marcus and laura, good morning. a senate sub committee is set to put facebook's business practices under the microscope.

this comes as facebook, the silicon valley website once again fully functional along with instagram and what'sup app that facebook owns. mark zuckerberg posted this on his page last night, sorry about the disruption, i know how much you rely on our services to stay connected with the people you care about. >> the time something remarkable. this is right as facebook is dealing with this really damning whistle-blower report. we have no reporting that indicates there's any connection whatsoever, but it is fire on your left and fire on your right, and that's a problem for both sides of facebook. >> the whistle-blower told "60 minutes" that she has dozens of

documents showing the user safety. speaking exclusively with nbc news, facebook's head of global research denies it puts profits over safety. >> that's contrary to my experience, and contrary to the facts. since 2016 we spent $13 billion on security, and we have 40,000 people working on security. >> in her senate testimony, she's expected to push lawmakers to pass tougher regulations for the social media platforms, and as for that outage that happened yesterday, facebook is blaming that on a faulty configuration change, as they call it, and they said they do not believe that any user data was compromised. we go back to you, laura and marcus. >> do not believe, key words there.

thank you, chris. let's bring in scott mcgrew. lawmakers were not impressed with the outage. >> mark zuckerberg himself lost around $6 billion yesterday. yesterday was a tough day for tech stocks, in general. >> what is facebook's biggest challenge moving ahead? is it the congressional hearing? >> no, they have been blasted in front of congress before, a lot of times. i think it's two things. number one, spotify, open table, all those places you use to log in might want to start rethinking that, and as the bad guy of the tech work, cambridge analytical scandal, russian information, and false

information of the election in 2020. that's a lot. tech companies already fight for employees in this economic situation. f your company. facebook has those recruits they will be working for good at a time when you have a former employee telling "60 minutes" they're not. >> certainly one to watch. interesting to see how today progresses as well. >> we'll be watching. >> thank you. 5:06. breaking overnight, johnson & johnson asking for fda emergency approval for a booster shot. new data this morning supporting the idea, pfizer recipients most at risk should get that booster shot. the data shows the effectiveness drops off over time to 50% in six months. but pfizer's vaccine is still

90% effective in keeping covid patients out of the hospital. experts say that's the most important thing. >> what we are focusing on is preventing hospitalizations, preventing and preserving our hospital settings, and that's important. >> and california is the state that could have benefited the most from the vaccines. vaccines shielded 22,000 state seniors from becoming infected. nationwide the study found a reduction of 265,000 covid infections. we are watching a criminal trial under way involving a former danville police officers.

hall used force when he shot and killed a man. his attorney argued that hall made a split-second decision in second defense. >> we feel like the weight of the world is on his shoulders and he feels very bad about what happened. >> hall last march was involved in a second deadly shooting in danville. that shooting is not part of the trial and so far in that case he has not been charged. a follow-up on last week's water main break that flooded the streets in alamo. the pipe was connected to a transmission line. 6.5 million gallons of water spilled. nearly 200 homes were temporarily without water. happening today, state senator nancy skinner will lead a news conference outlining what advocates say as california's

worsening air quality shows last year california had one of the worst wildfire seasons on record. right now let's look live outside. this is san francisco this morning where it's foggy out there. meteorologist, kari hall has been tracking those conditions. >> it's good we have this weather system coming in that will bring in cooling changes and will help to clean out some of the air and bring a westerly wind off the ocean. also giving us mist and drizzle as the air quality arrives. the rest of the week is going to feel very fall-like with showers to the north. taking a look at our temperatures, reaching up to 81 in concord. 78 degrees in napa. some of these were reaching in the 80s and 90s yesterday. we will continue to cool off. mike, you were saying we do have

a truck fire. >> yeah, we need a drop in temperature. the garbage truck is past thornton. for a few minutes we saw a traffic break and then a lot of slowing and it started to clear up. traffic can get by in the four remaining lanes traveling north up towards the dumbarton bridge. so that will be there blocking the slow lane. traffic alert called because there were other folks calling from the other side of the wall where the homes are asking if they were safe, and we believe they are, and there's some sort of compressed gas on the truck but they are letting it burn out. back to you. >> thanks, mike. it's 5:10. tomorrow is the fourth annual california clean air day. coming up next on "today in the bay" in our climate in crisis series, a look at what you can

services demand more and more episodes. in 2007, you will recall, marcus and laura, writers went on strike, and then reality television was on the rise, so let's not go back there. >> and everybody wanted to be a star. >> yeah, let's not go there. overnight somebody south of the bay area is a whole lot richer. a ticket purchase at this grocery store in san luis obispo county, they hit the jackpot, more than $699 million, and the cash value is just under $500 million. the winning numbers, 12, 22, 54,

>> i'm going to post about a garbage truck on fire. let's take you out to the maps. over here towards fremont, it sounds dramatic. a garbage truck on fire, and fire trucks are there. you notice very little slowing, just a tad bit. there are apartments on the other side of the barrier off the highway there. this is thornton, central avenue and getting off the newark as well, and folks called in to say, we smell smoke, are we safe? chp says yes, they believe the compressed gas is almost gone. mild slowing because we have four lanes of traffic, and as the volume builds, and if they don't clear that quickly it could be a problem, because they need the right sized tow truck.

your longer drive coming out of antioch in through concord, that's fine for highway 4. highway 34, no slowing here. there's a crash but it's going away from the bay bridge. a clear view right now. kari, a clear drive but i see low clouds hovering around that spot and in the city. yeah, we are all clear inland. we have been dealing with the unhealthy air quality at times, especially inland. santa clara valley looking at moderate air quality, but these numbers with the pleasure of particulate matter, they are looking good. the 7-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen. some spots are dropping about ten degrees compared to yesterday, reaching 79 in los gatos. for the east bay, up to 80 in walnut creek. 74 in hayward. 71 in san mateo.

vaccination rates. let's take a look. there was a graph created that uses data from the state and county websites. what initially stands out is solano county was the only county did not have the mandates on the mask use, and per 100,000 cases, they were one of the highest in the bay area, and that category as well as the highest number of hospitalizations. we should note they also had the lowest vaccination rate in the bay area at just 56%. now compare that to marin or san mateo counties, both were at 90% or above the vaccination rates, and their hospitalization cases per 100,000 was also the lowest in the bay area. some counties right now exploring whether or not to even continue the indoor mask mandate. they are looking at that data in connection with the vaccination data. just last week we were

compared to normal. you can see it in the numbers. >> yeah, this is a dire situation. when you look at what is normal for san francisco in the yellow, the 23.7, but last year we only had 9 inches of rain, and then compare that to years past where many of the years we were below normal. looking at san jose, we usually get 14.9 inches a year but only got about one-third of that just last year. you can see how dry it has been. at least we had that one year where we got the normal amount of rainfall. now as we enter into october, we need a lot of water to even get back to where we should be. it's nice to see the cold fronts moving in, but they are drying up before they get here. october is the transition month where we start to see some rain. santa rosa on average gets about two inches of rain in october and then we go into our wetter months in november, december,

not anything new. it starts with a simple truth. the united states is a nation that pays its bills and always has. >> that bears repeating. >> we have never defaulted. >> i apologize for interrupting the president. it bears repeating whether or not you think the u.s. should spend more money than it has. there are plenty of people that say we shouldn't. the democrats and republicans agreed to money that was spent in part when trump was president. not lifting the debt ceiling is like not paying a credit card. you already spent the money and can't change it now. janet yellen estimates we have 13 days until disaster. congress has not, so far, agreed on raising it. more than $3 trillion bill is too big for some democrats and are telling the white house to lower that price. none of this counts in the debt

ceiling. anybody that tells you otherwise is not telling you the truth. the white house realizes this number needs to get smaller. >> in order to have a discussion, which includes the recognition that the package is going to be smaller than originally proposed, and what he wants to hear from them is what their priorities are, and what their bottom lines are so he can play a constructive role in moving things forward. >> in other news, a federal judge sentenced one of the capitol attackers. the three month home confinement prosecutors were looking for for the man in texas was too lenient. he posted evidence of his own crime to facebook. the social postings and youtube postings were provided to the court in an fbi affidavit. we are watching everything happening in washington,
