multiple fifa games. we also have the infrastructure and passion needed to leverage the economic boost the event would bring to the area for long-term development of soccer. reporting live in santa clara, bob redell for "today in the bay." governor newsom headed to the united nations global climate change conference next week, and among other things his administration is pushing for the end of reliance on oil. they are outlining their agenda for next week's event. more changes coming to the masking and vaccination mandates. contra costa will follow san francisco when it loosens its mask mandate. alameda county will also loosen its mask rules.

commitments from world leaders with some of his top priorities when he has yet to secure his deal on, and it's not because of all republicans that oppose his sweeping plan, which they do, but it comes down to democrats, and they will juggle that throughout his time in europe. this morning the president kicks things off with a visit to the vatican meeting with the pope. that is really twofold. it's a special meeting for the president personally because he's just the second catholic american president, and also they spoke about key policy issues. that meeting just wrapped up between pope francis, the president and first lady there as well, and we know they spoke about climate change issues and about covid-19, and then also protections for the poor. of course, issues that are deeply held for both of these men, and those are the same

priorities president biden will be speaking g20 summit world gs scotland, for the climate change summit. president biden unveiled the new framework for his social and climate change policies that he is trying to get passed and pay for through taxes on the wealthy u.s. and corporations. right now there's no firm commitment on that deal. >> this framework includes historic investments in our nation and in our people. >> the new proposal includes child care, universal pre-k, expanded health care coverage, and medicare for hearing services and $555 billion to curb climate change. but to cut the price tagging to what the moderate holdouts would accept, several top progressive

priorities are out, including president biden wanted to have a vote yesterday on his separate bipartisan infrastructure bill, and that's what house speaker, pelosi, had planned to do but scrapped that because progressives are not willing to sign on until the larger package is set. they are willing to keep working through next week to get to a deal on both bills, with the president telling democrats that nothing less than his presidency and majorities in the house and senate are riding on this. >> when it comes to the bills, it just goes on and on and on. alice barr this morning. thank you, alice. california ports are getting a $5 billion cash infusion to help modernize supply chain systems. pete buttigieg made that announcement yesterday. over the long-term, it's

and her point was they already have acres and acres of land they are using, so why would they want more? >> if each grain of rice was an acre, that would be 470 pounds of rice. apparently this acreage was not enough. >> the old minivan. speaking of demonstrations, mark zuckerberg showed off a version of the so-called metaverse. he said things like instagram will change its name to meta. and that look on the bookcase there, and we were talking about this earlier. that bookcase is a book end made out of sweet baby ray's barbecue sauce. it was laura that figured that

this morning. we have so much going on this weekend. you may be getting the kids ready with their costumes to head to school this morning, and for those not going to school, maybe heading to one of the many events going on this weekend, we will have nice weather, so be sure you are wearing a nice warm jacket because we will see peeks of sunshine today and the temperatures will stay in the low 60s. we are headed for the upper 60s in downtown san francisco, and across the bay to oakland, we will see a high of 69 degrees. 74 in livermore. palo alto, expect a high of 72 degrees. for napa today reaching the low 70s as well. sunshine today, fairly nice and mild as we go into the forecast. we are going to see the temperatures matching where we were yesterday, reaching 75 in antioch. near the coastline, we have upper 60s for redwood city and upper 60s for san francisco. north bay highs reaching 72 in novato. now, as we talk about rain and

what is coming our way, we will see showers just to the north of us, more clouds, and then early next week we are going to see two storm systems passing by that will bring in higher rain chances and the possibility in some spots getting over an inch of rain where we see the bright reds, less than an inch of rain elsewhere. when we look back at how the impact of the last atmospheric river impacted the bay area, we saw the decrease of the drought and improvement statewide. a lot of areas went from exceptional drought to extreme, which is still not good. overall a nice weekend as you are making all of your holiday weekend plans. mike, you have more info for the crash in the tri-valley? >> yeah, our friend, aaron, he was going south on 680 and he saw the flashing lights and wanted to let me know something

people expected to attend. >> reporter: yeah, thousands and thousands of folks expended to attend. it's a couple hours away from the first performance, and things are already set up here. take a look behind me. these are the fences where folks will make their way into this park to see those performances on deck, lizzo, and even nelly hitting the stage. a lot of the activity will be outside of the gates because traffic is expected to be pretty crazy. if you are heading out here, here's what you need to know. to start with, organizers say parking is extremely limited and some streets will be congested or completely closed. organizers suggest if you are getting dropped off do so a couple blocks north or south of golden gate park. another option, of course, taking public transit. muni will provide extra service on the north judah as well as the 5r fulton rapid.

and then the shuttle bus at bill graham will run one hour after the music ends each night. let's talk about health and safety once you get inside. everybody coming to the festival has to be vaccinated or show proof of a negative covid test within 72 hours, and there's a pop-up rapid testing facility. keep in mind that will cost you money. for organizers this year, it's sure to be a special one given everything that has played out in the last year and a half. >> everybody is coming back out of, you know, the covid quarantine. to be able to be out here and getting all of these local people participating at the event, vendors, restaurants, artists, musicians, and we feel grateful we are here and able to do this. >> reporter: it's important to know that it's also halloween so

a lot going on this weekend. if you are coming to the festival and want to be really festive and get dressed up, and you can't have fake weapons or fake blood and they are asking to please not dress as a first responder to avoid confusion. they are getting ready for all of the crowds. i believe the first show starts at noon and the music will keep going until 9:30 on sunday. a lot of artists, a lot of people and traffic, so make sure you have a plan on how to get here safely. >> since you are one of the first people there, they should let you do a mic check? >> you know, i should actually open for lizzo. that was my plan. lizzo, if you are watching and need an opening act -- >> if you are an opening act, i want to be a mic man.

>> 6:34 right now. serious story here. there are a lot of questions in an east bay high school after a photo posted on social media showed a student wearing a ku klux klan outfit on campus. that was worn on wednesday, and administrators met yesterday with the student and his parents. the principal says he wore it on a dare and was not caught until fourth period, post likely because he was wearing it in between classes only. he was surrounded by other students who were actually kids of color. many acting with anger and confusion. >> i had no clue what he was really dressed as, and knowing he went to school with a predominantly black population, i thought it was more disheartening. >> he's not white, he's hispanic.

because his skin was lighter, people assumed he was white, and that's what some kids thought it was funny is he looks white. >> did you think it was funny when you saw it? >> no. >> in that part the student has been assigned consequences for his actions and will participate in our restorative justice process to learn how his actions have impacted and harmed others. he will also work with our restorative justice ambassadors, parents and staff to begin repairing the harm he caused. a shootout in san francisco's popular haight ashbury district leaves a community riddled with bullets holes and fear. there was a shootout between two gangs on central and haight. one victim that arrived to the hospital on their own is in critical condition.

there was another drive-by shooting on saturday may have been related to that shootout. one of the bullets entered a bedroom and landed next to a baby changing table. >> the dresser was right next to the changing table. they have a newborn baby. >> it was, like, pop, pop, pop, and then one car, i hear like one car -- >> police say that investigation is ongoing. no arrests have been made. parents are more hesitant about getting covid shots for their younger kids when it's approved than getting a shot for themselves. the survey predicts attitudes may change once kids start getting the vaccine. 27% of parents say they will get their children vaccinated right away, and 5% say only if they have to, and a little less than one-third say definitely not. parents were concerned about long-term affects, taking time off if their children has side effects, and how the shot isn't

ready, perhaps, for young children, but studies show attitudes showed with teenagers. >> they learned more and seen other teens get vaccinated, and we hope to see the same thing with younger kids as well. >> the most trusted source of information for parents is their pediatricians and schools. the pandemic won't stop trick-or-treating this year. there are steps you can take to make sure you and your family are safe. it's easier to maintain social distancing outdoors, and neighbors should coordinate door knocking. children should wear well-fitted mask, not just the costumes, and use hand sanitizer before they eat treats. if you are handing out candy,

wear a mask or leave the bowl outside, and we know kids will take the entire bowl. >> yeah, and the bowl. >> head over to nbcbayarea.com. we have you covered on our trending bar, you can check out the full halloween guide. >> i would like to think there are honest children. >> when i was younger, i would be the one to dump the whole bowl -- >> what? a confession? >> yeah, i was eight. i got a conscience at nine. >> glad you found it. how is the weather looking for this weekend? >> it looks great for us this weekend. a little cooler. if you are going on outside lands this weekend, dress in layers because it's reach into the low 70s today with times of sunshine. but standing out there hours on end, it will feel chilly.

saratoga, you have a couple days left to get pictures with kids at the pumpkin patch. queens pumpkin temperatures for the middle of eay heading for the low 70s. we will continue to see a lot of sunshine. i think that's important for the pictures. great america, they have the haunted hunt going on. and then there is the alameda county fair going on. late in the evening they also have this haunted house thing going on where we will see temperatures in the mid-60s there. more clouds tomorrow but no rain. for our inland areas, on halloween night, looks great for those trick-or-treaters. make sure you make plans to get out and enjoy. mike, you were watching a crash in the tri-valley. is that still going on? >> better news for that one, kari. also, on the bay bridge we have backup. we have changes. even though it's friday, a slow build here at the bay bridge.

that's the most dramatic change here. and this crash, i think they just moved the big rig and we could see more slowing around mare island. kari, you asked about the tri-valley. they just reopened this and that's great news. the tri-valley, the south bay and peninsula looking great. there's a crash at 280 at westboro over on the peninsula. mike, coming up on "today in the bay," the president is all in on his bet that congress will do what he wants. may not be a good bet. let's take you out to the bets they make on wall street. the dow industrials up slightly on this friday morning. 455 words added to the ducktion airy.

and then make sure you follow @nbcbayarea on instagram for "synced in" and so much more.

it's 6:44. we have great weather again today as our high temperatures for many spots in the south bay, east bay and north bay head for the low to mid-70s, but it will be cooler this weekend. we'll talk about that and when

rain returns, coming up in a few minutes. treats for the nz freeway. north bay with the headlights heading up towards the coliseum, and the south bay is the taillights. we will give you the progress at the bay bridge. there are some changes over there. thanks so much, kari and mike. quarter to 7:00 right now. president biden met with the pope this morning. >> the president is in europe on his way to the g20 summit. >> stopped to see the pope. president biden only the second catholic president in history. they do know the two agree on a lot of issues including climate changes and worries about what the rise of what the pope calls phoney populism. biden has met the pope several times before but never as president. the president announced a framework on his build back better plan which many of us interpreted as a deal he worked out with the key members of

congress that are standing in their way, and this morning we are not so sure they are onboard. two senators may not like all his ideas, but millions of americans do. >> this agenda, the agenda in these bills is what 81 million americans voted for. more people voted than anytime in american history. that's what they voted for. their voices deserve to be heard and not denied, or worse, ignored. >> here's the thing. by announcing what sounded like a deal, the president really has gone all in. either congress is going to get moving or it's not. i don't normally run quotes that i, myself, can't track down. that's just good practice, but i will do it here, because "the new york times" and "washington post" heard it, and it makes a point. according to somebody close to the president, he said i don't think it's hyperbole to say the

house and senate majorities and my presidency will be determined by what happens next week. he's right. the future of the democrats holding the house and barely holding the senate and even the white house may come down to whether or not they can get something done, something they were elected to do, and that is pass two bills. remember, the problem is conservative democrats don't like this one, and liberal democrats won't pass this one without that one. the future of the house, senate and presidency may be in the balance. you may have seen this. republican senator, mitt romney, dressing up from ted lasso. some democrats are pointing out this scene where lasso presents cookies to the boss like in the real ted lasso, except the boss is not rebecca, but kyrsten sinema, one of the two democrats

blocking the key bills. in bill lasso, rebecca is wanting her team to lose. i just ruined the first ted lasso for you. today in the bay's bob redell joins us from outside levi stadium this morning. this could be a fun event, bob. >> reporter: hopefully, if it happens. later today and tomorrow the 49ers along with the mayors of san josé, san francisco, oakland and some major companies like airbnb, google and salesforce, they will host the officials from fifa, and give them a tour of levi stadium behind me here in santa clara, and try to convince them the bay area should host some of the world cup soccer games in 2026.

there are 17 other cities in the united states bidding for the opportunity to host some of the games. people will choose only 10 to 12 host cities in our country, and a few cities expected in canada and mexico. this video, by the way, from the last world cup tournament in 2018 in which france beat croatia. being selected to host could have a huge economic impact in the bay area. thousands of people would be flooding in for months for large-scale events. the bay area hosted various fifa world cup matches before. here's a statement in part for the san josé mayor, quoting the south bay has a rich history in hosting international soccer and boasts the world class venues needed to get the job done in 2026, and we have the

infrastructure and passion needed to leverage the economic boost the event would bring to the area for the long-term development of soccer. for "today in the bay," bob redell. merriam-webster just added words to the dictionary, and many slang words made the cut. >> yeah, tbh, which is short for to be honest. >> that's not even a word. they are initials. >> we'll talk about that later. what about ftw, which is for the win. and then am i right? >> that's incorrect spelling. >> not now. it's in the dictionary. faux hock, and that's talking about a hair cut. and dad bod, which you know when

you see it, that type of physique describing a dad who is no longer 25, let's say. >> i am trying to stay away from it because i don't have kids yet, i don't need the dad bod just yet. >> i am right here, and when you look up dad bod, it shows this. >> aging gracefully, mike. >> you are holding it tight, trust me. >> i am holding it in. >> well, dad bods, go outside today. take your shirt off. it's not that hot out. >> yeah, let's talk about our temperatures. we have 70s for morgan hill today. it's going to be a repeat of yesterday's weather, where we had a few clouds to start. it cleared up and it was a glorious day. we will see that again this afternoon reaching up to about 74 in livermore, and 70 in

fremont. daly city up to 62 degrees. 67 downtown san francisco. we will see a high of 72 in napa today. 73 in santa rosa. 7-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen. you will notice there's a lot of rain towards the end of the forecast and that's because we have several storm systems lining up out there in the pacific. the first one moving in will stay to the north of us. we will bring in more clouds and cooler temperatures for the weekend. the next one behind that will bring in measurable rain starting on monday. this is the way it looks. once again, more clouds for tomorrow and temperatures reaching into the upper 60s. no showers here but we will see the rain coming in on monday and then another storm system arriving on wednesday. so as we look at how much rain we may see out of all of this, some of these models are putting down good numbers. the possibility of where we see the red showing that we may see

over an inch of rain, and the recent rainfall that we had really improved the drought for especially the north bay when we went from exceptional to extreme, and once again we have two storms coming next week with our temperatures that will head into the 60s. it's going to be cool when those showers come in, but we have a great holiday weekend heading our way. mike, are you watching the roads and seeing slowing on the bridges? >> yeah, right here like the bay bridge toll plaza, it's friday so not as bad as it could be, tbh, and ftw, for the win, we have highway 37 clear of the crash. things are still clear from highway 4, but we expect that. we are looking at the rest of the bay and there's smooth traffic except for the off-ramp here, and the rest of the bay looks good, just a little slowing through san josé. back to you. >> thanks so much. 6:53.
