this is not about taking up the way anyone's guns. it's about we believe we should be treating responsible gun owners as an example of how every gun owner should behave. >> pushing for an end to gun violence, president biden opposes sweeping new gun reform measures. we are live in washington with reaction and why the president insists, this plan is not about taking away rights. a good morning to you on this friday, thanks for allowing us to be a part of your morning. right chairs in san francisco are taking a big turn into the 21st century. a self driving startup just got the green light to operate new driverless rides. you heard it right. you will be able to book a car

without backup human operators. >> how cool or how scary is that. >> vianey is in for mike. but let's start off with looking at those roads. >> we have clouds rolling through it also fog and drizzle as you are heading down into oakland this morning as well as san francisco in near the coast. we are going to have cooler temperatures today, with a cloud cover continuing, peaks of sunshine today, and also briefly wins, which give us the fire danger for today. we are close to 80 degrees in fairfield, livermore, 75. we will talk more about that, that's coming up in a few

minutes, laura and marcus. we are staying on top of this breaking news this morning, there's a fire brewing on san bruno martin near the south san francisco brisbane border. this is brand-new video that's just into our newsroom from our group that arrived on the scene. the fire is burning about halfway up the mountain. firefighters on the scene tell us that foggy and misty conditions are actually helping to slow down the spread of the flames. nearby roads are shut down but there said to be no impact so far on highway 101. not clear how it started but it looks like the weather is cooperating. if you're waking up in alameda county, things have changed. listen up, because as of midnight, the county once again requiring nearly everyone to mask up in most indoor locations. here we go again, bob, but there are exceptions this time around? >> k-12 students are exempt

from this new reinstatement of the mask mandate here at alameda county and so is the city of berkeley which instituted its own health rules but if you are going inside a gym like this one behind me, a grocery store, most other indoor places, you will be required to wear a facial covering. this announcement that was made yesterday did come as a surprise to many people. so far, alameda, the only bay area county to reinstate a mask mandate. the health department the daily cases have surpassed the number of last year's wave and hospitalizations are up, too. >> we are up to about 100 people in the hospital, seeing increases of people in the intensive care units. >> i understand medical offices but everywhere, that seems like overkill. >> the point is to keep everyone safe around us. i'm in full support of that. >> bart already requires masks,

now, ac transit will as well. so will the oakland airport. they will put up signs to remind passengers. travelers are no longer required to mask up on an airplane, so people who have been maskless during a several hour flight let's say from the east coast, will have to mask up once they disembark. during the pandemic, most of the bay area counties came together to issue guidance at alameda county is alone in this. so far, no other county is reinstating a mask mandate. we did speak with dr. peter chin-hong who believes this measure will be temporary so alameda can get over this spike in cases. >> i think a lot of us were thinking, it's possibly going to come back again. our nation, reeling from a series of recent deadly mass shootings, 10 lives lost in the

buffalo supermarket, 19 children, two teachers, killed in you molly, texas, and this week, four people killed at a tulsa hospital. president biden is renewing his pleas to congress to act on gun legislation. his proposals laid out last night in a rare evening address from the white house. president biden is stressing like others, enough is enough. >> absolutely right, president biden, speaking sharp and stern words last night, speaking directly to the american people, and laying out specific actions he wants congress to take on gun laws. >> how much more carnage are we willing to accept? how many more innocent american lives must be taken before we say, enough? >> the president, laying out specific actions ranging from strengthening background checks to banning assault weapons or at least freezing the age of

purchasing them from 18 to 21, also arguing that this issue is not about taking away second amendment rights. >> it's about protecting children, families, protecting whole communities. >> bipartisan talks about gun laws are underway. >> a very clear eyed about what is possible and i'm encouraged by these conversations. >> the effort has some support from republicans who want to focus on issues like mental health. >> mental illness and school safety are what we need to target. >> to say it's inconsequential -- >> but they are divided in other ways. >> is there any other way to stop the bad guy with a gun then a good guy with a gun? >> this false notion of good guys with guns, does not work. >> the princesses, his message and the message the victims of gun violence remains the same. >> just do something, for god sakes, do something. >> a passionate call for

congress to pass measures to curb gun violence. >> how speaker pelosi says she expects the house to vote on a collection of sweeping gun control legislation next week. >> we will continue to follow, thank you so much. today marks 100 days since russia invaded ukraine, and in recent days, russian forces seem to be gaining the upper hand. president zelinski said russia now controls about 20% of the country. troops are focused in the eastern region closest to russia's border. ukrainians were still trapped in some cities facing dire circumstances with constant shelling and food and medicine in short supply. on the today show richard engel will be in one such town where the forces are coming in. you can watch that following today in the bayto town san jos

get started for the weekend. oh yes, starting out a fuday, a there in some places, but, it's friday, so, we are excited about that. meterologist kari hall has been tracking what we can expect, and any rain in sight for us? >> we've been talking about the possibility of rain as we head into the weekend. i want to show you this graph that shows how the year usually shapes up for us. we make it a little bit of rain and as we go to the weekend, what we are expecting to be fairly significant on the scale of what we usually see during this month, so we are getting ready for especially the north bay, getting a chance of scattered showers that will first start to move into the north bay, by saturday evening, and then, the rain continues into sunday morning, and they reach as far

south as san francisco and oakland. i don't think it'll make it to livermore or san jose but it's good that we do see at least some rain in the forecast. we will talk more about how much we may see and how is the commute moving? >> we have seen a couple of fender banners but overall we've got a friday like commute, a live look right now at the san mateo bridge. it's cloudy out there but at least the traffic is flowing nicely. we are going to look right now at how the bay area traffic maps are doing. i've been keeping an eye out on 80 in both directions approaching the bay bridge. it looks like that has managed to clear out based on an earlier crash but still seeing slowing. 6:10 right now, you may have to forget about talking to your driver the next time you do rideshare in san francisco. because in some cases, there won't be one. we will explain the first of its kind, self driving service that's watching there.

it's jobs friday, we got really good news, i'll share that with you, i'll take you out to the futures as well where understandably, wall street, concerned about interest rates, are actually moving to the negative. we will explain it all when today in the bay continues.

good friday morning, the time is 6:13. it'll be a great day for spending more time outside, especially in the south bay where temperatures are coming down from the very hot start we start we had earlier this week, reaching into the low to mid 70s they but we will only see peaks of sunshine. we will talk more about this and a look ahead to those rain chances in the forecast, coming up. we are seeing some slowing right now, heading from westbound 80 to the bay bridge, looking at about 11 minutes, there is an earlier crash causing delays, before approaching the bay bridge toll plaza, 12 minutes. a closer look at the rest of your bay area traffic coming up. very happy friday to you, more good news on the job front. 390,000 jobs were added in the month of may, this, according to the jobs of, which just came out a short time ago. it's more than expected and continues a long string of good numbers, companies are still hiring, unemployment rate sticks at 6%, and hiring was brought, leisure, manufacturing, healthcare, they are all up. tesla, talking

about going the other way with layoffs, reuters was the first to report elon musk sent a memo to executives discussing a potential 10% cut, that would be enormous. that would be like 10,000 people, ford talking about selling electric cars direct to the consumer like tesla does, skipping the dealership. 100% online, the ford ceo said at a recent conference. ford's push into electric comes as gas prices near record highs again, this may be in part, the cause of a huge turnaround by president biden, report say that biden will add saudi arabia to a preplanned visit to europe and the middle east. the white house has not confirmed this but if he does, he'll probably pay a visit to mohammed solomon, he's the de

facto leader, the american cia says this man is a murderer. ordering the death and dismemberment of american resident and journalist jamaal in 2018. in 2019, then candidate for president joe biden, called him a pariah, you can hear the words coming from the candidates mouth. >> we were not going to in fact so more weapons to them, we were going to make them pay the price and make them in fact the pariah that they are. there is very little social redeeming value of the present government in saudi arabia. >> of course the present government is mbs, biden strip apparently, still in the planning phase but it marks a change to the practice of doing what's practical over what may be more moral or ideological, anyway. and this it's a lot of presidents. i think most historians would say except jimmy carter, he stuck to his guns and many historians would say that's one

of the reasons his administration was not very effective. >> appoint, thank you, scott. taking a live look in san francisco, it's about to get its first all robotic taxi service. regulars have approved the first commercial operating license. general motors start up, cruise, will be allowed to charge for rides without backup human operators on board but only within the city. it's among several companies testing driverless taxis in san francisco along with others like googles, but until this point there's were not allowed to be charged. it took more than 100 years but a connecticut woman can finally say she accomplished a lifetime goal. >> her name is bertha and she recently turned 104 years old. and, she had one simple request, she always wanted to pet a penguin. that's it. the aquarium help to do just that and the workers brought

her an african penguin age 35. family members say a see his wish foundation worked with the aquarium to make all of that happened. >> this is so exciting for her. i'm so happy she's allowed to have this wish come true. >> bertha is the oldest resident at her facility and the penguin named red green is the penguin exhibits elder statesman. look all she wanted, she said i want to pet a penguin. i guess she said i've done everything else. >> good for her. i don't know what my big wish would be. >> $1 billion. >> yeah, but i wanted a lot younger. so i can enjoy it. >> we have a really nice forecast out there, as our temperatures are coming down, really excited to see some rain chances and i know we have

weekend plans and we don't want it to rain on the weekend but whenever we can get a rain chance, we will take it. take a live look outside in san jose, we will only see the sun, just kind of peeking out from behind the clouds every now and then. temperatures right at about 60 degrees, we will be at 70 degrees at 11:00 and low 70s going into the early afternoon. eventually, we make it up to 75 in livermore, 80 in fairfield, napa will be in the mid-70s, san francisco, saying mostly cloudy and reaching about 64 degrees, going into tomorrow, it will be breezy, mostly cloudy, and temperatures reaching into the mid-70s for fremont, as well as 73 in santa rosa. that's where we will be watching out for chance of rain between late saturday into sunday, as it stays even a little bit cooler than normal for this time of year. it's going to bring in definitely much more significant rainfall for areas to the north of here, in fact,

eureka could see over an inch of rain with this moving in but by the time it makes it to, it'll be much lighter in comparison and it moves down to santa rosa and napa late saturday night and sunday we will see rain chances and it may reach down oakland, a couple of spotty light sprinkles around hayward and redwood city. but we are also going to see the rain just kind of dissipate before it makes it into the southbay. we are not expecting much here but as far as how much rain we can see, possibly a tenth of an inch of rain for concord, oakland as well as san francisco, and it could be even higher, take a look, reaching three quarters of an inch of rain, that would be amazing for that to happen in june. but then, once we enjoy a cooler weekend and the rain chances quickly start to heat back up again, we are headed for the upper 80s for san jose by the end of next week

possibly even low 90s by next friday, so we are going straight to summer here with the heat and we will see those temperatures in the mid-70s for the weekend, spotty showers are possible for the inland areas on sunday, and once again, very hot next week and staying cool, foggy and kind of drizzly in san francisco throughout the weekend. vianey, anything popping up for the commute? >> we do have a new crash that popped up . this is a long 580 in the westbound direction, right before the 680 interchange, so, you could expect to see some delays through the stretch, also, good news as far as we approach heading into the bay bridge, no metering lights on just yet and a quick check of your drive times, north on 101 from 85, looking at 19 minutes. no major delays along 284 or 85. back to you. coming up next on today in the bay, nbc bay area response. >> we have a milestone to tell you about, and our very first slot machine complaint. but it does not involve a casino. nbc bay area response, next.

it's time to say happy anniversary to our money-saving response team. we have a look at the work that our consumer warriors have done over the past six years and are continuing to do. >> since we started in 2016 we've received an average of eight complaints per day every single day. we plug them into our database and that database has a grand total of 17,000 complaints.

sometimes we see the same type of complaint over and over like cell phone issues, airline gripes, and recently we had a first. james in san jose, asked for our help getting an unresponsive repair shop to return an antique slot machine. that's after three years, and all of our 17,000 cases, this is our first slot machine case, i looked it up. anyway, we got james his slot machine back and that at zero dollars to our toeboard, it's not always about hitting the jackpot but we do love our tally and here it is. since we debuted six years ago, more than $6 million safe, returned, recovered, reimbursed, real money back to you. so what's next? onto seven years and maybe $7 million. send us your complaints, go to nbc bear bay area online.

breaking right now, a fire burning overnight on san bruno mountain. we've been following it all morning long. prices at the pump, only heading of, ahead in a live report, the key factor sending costs into the stratosphere and how it may impact your summer travel plans. the fact that the virus continues to shape shift kind of puts us in a lurch when it comes to infection. >> the latest covid surge adding new uncertainty as summer approaches. one local health expert explains why he believes that pandemic will have less impact compared to previous years. this is today in the bay, streaming live on roku, amazon fire, roku tv and online. it's friday morning, thanks for starting your day with us.

>> we want to get straight to the breaking news this morning, the breaking news is the fire, on san bruno mountain, near south san francisco and the brisbane border, this is video from our crew, now the fire, burning about halfway up the mountain, it's spread to at least three acres this morning, but firefighters on the scene tell us that the conditions are helping to slow down the spread of the flames. viewer santas videos like this one, shortly after the fire started this morning, nearby roads are shut down but there's no impact on highway 101, still not clear how the fire started. >> let's check in with meterologist kari hall, she's tracking some of the conditions in the area. firefighters are saying the mist is helping. >> can you imagine how hard it is to see what's going on out there as you are trying to fight the fire? and the vegetation, it's very dry even though we are seeing the fog and midst as well as

the drizzle. as we take a live look out there in san francisco, temperature -wise, mid-50s right now, upper 50s as you head down to the east bay as well as the southbay. and we will see our highs today reaching into the mid 60s in san francisco, but the fire danger continues because of the breezy wind that will pick up again today. >> i don't have to tell you this, you've probably seen it yourself, record prices at the gas pump, putting more pressure on those struggling to make it in the bay. and with so many people already struggling with skyrocketing inflation. over the past week drivers are paying another $.15 per gallon, today in the base sierra johnson, live in san bruno, boy, we'd like to see some relief in sight? >> good morning, we would like to say that there's relief but experts say that may not be possible, we will get to that in a moment but we do want to set the stage for what folks here in san bruno can expect to pay at this particular gas station, take a look at that, $6.99, pretty hefty price to

pay in the bay area. seeing as the average in the area is a little bit lower, but nationwide, prices continue to rise, $.52 a gallon just this month, right now aaa says the national average is still below the state average but again, on the rise, as of thursday, the national average, $4.71 compared to the state average of $6.24 and an average of $6.50 in san francisco but there are several factors that experts say tribute to a lack of falling prices, a major one, experts say the ongoing conflict in ukraine helped to keep prices high because supply is down. and with many folks wanting to hit the road this summer for the summer vacations, relief may not be happening anytime soon. >> i think we probably will see $6.50 a gallon on average for the next week or so and prices could march higher, it's not impossible, that the average in

san francisco could reach seven dollars a gallon. >> it's important to note that come july first, many more costs will be added to your trip to the gas station, that's when the state is tacking on an extra three set tax onto every purchase, that combined with the supply and demand dynamics, during the trump summer travel season, will have gas higher than what we see right now. it's not just gas, the cost of food is also increasing, if you've noticed the increase for meats, poultry, eggs, was 1.4%

from march but the category has increased by more than 14% in just over the last year. and a new poll does reveal the spending habits and thoughts of some of us here in the united states, over half of americans, 56%, say they don't believe they can afford a vacation this year, because of inflation, so a lot of factors at play, a lot of folks really just waiting to get on the road and just kind of unwind and relax but for so many, that may not be possible because of what we are seeing in terms of gas as well as inflation. >> $7.19, that is really tough. thanks so much. let's talk about covid. covid cases across the state are still heading higher, as you can see from this graph, on may 15, the positivity rate was 5%, a little more than two weeks later, the positivity rate, just under 8%. and across the bay, covid cases continue to rise as we approach the summer months. i spoke with dr. peter chin- hong, to find out if we should be alarmed. >> there's good news and bad news about the current search.

i think on the bad news front, it's leading to disruptions, people are taken out of the workforce, students have finals , some of those are being disrupted, but on the good news front, hospitals are generally pretty quiet, and that's really a testament to the high rates of vaccination and boosting that is in the bay area. >> i want to talk to you about this because you just mentioned graduations and things. that's what's going on now, graduations, memorial day just passed, fourth of july coming up not too far away. a lot of people want to get out and have fun and be around people. can we expect a spike? think about it, when we were back in november, we saw the spike with the holidays, and the beginning of the year we saw the spike should we expect any spikes like that again? >> i think so many people have been infected recently, we will see an increase in cases but hopefully it won't be an

exponential rise. i think you're right, memorial day, all those gatherings that occurred over the last weekend, i probably going to come back in the next few days. we will undoubtedly see an increase in hospitalizations but nothing compared to january. >> we don't hear too many people talk about herd immunity, so are we close to that or is that still a factor? >> i think it's less of a factor now because the virus has evolved so quickly, that it took a lot of people by surprise. i think if it was the same virus from 20 2010 now, we would have definitely achieved herd immunity but the fact that the virus continues to shape shift, kind of puts us in a lurch when it comes to infection however, that herd immunity is keeping us away from the hospital, and that will continue to hopefully be the case as we get the successive waves. >> there's good news for you,

more houses are on the market in the bay area, the bad news, the prices are still rising. >> not if you are a homeowner. >> prices increase by 32% in the east bay and it went up 22.9% in the south bay. the reason prices are still soaring, there's just not enough for everyone who's looking to buy. contributing to that, building new housing. during the year-long investigation, they uncovered hundreds of empty lots that are supposed to be new, affordable housing their staying vacant, waiting for state funding. candace spoke to frustrated developers and got answers from

the state treasurer. >> this is supposed to be g, and so is this, and this, and this. and all of these. projects funded in part, with your tax dollars. your sitting vacant. >> candace joins us live in studio to talk about episode three of the series called hidden housing. so, it looked like there were a lot of empty lots and stalled construction projects here? >> a lot of them, and the fact that there's one, that's too many, california needs more housing and we needed it yesterday. last year there housing nonprofit identified 214 shovel ready, shovel ready affordable housing prices in the bay area that haven't even started yet. we drove out to the site, we found the vacant lots.

if built could provide 19,000 homes, that would house a good number of the bay area's entire housing insecure population. >> so what is the hold up here? >> we brought that question to the top to the california state treasurer, and put simply she says, there's not enough money to go around and the thing is, affordable housing can't just take money from anywhere, this kind of construction needs specific state funding and we heard from the governor that there's billions in surplus money, so a lot of eyes to his office to see if that money will go to housing. >> even if you don't necessarily need to live in one of these low income units, it certainly does impact so many people. >> if there's one thing i learned while working on the series is that this crisis impacts all of us in some way. political leaders have pledged to spend the public taxpayer dollars wisely to create more housing and this was an important area for us to investigate to see if they were keeping their promises and we found some of the promises have been adjusted. you can watch all of the episodes of overpriced, overwhelmed, over it on your roku, amazon fire tv or apple tv by downloading the free nbc bay area app you can also go to

nbcbayarea.com/overpriced. time to get a look at your forecast. meterologist kari hall is joining us this morning. a little bit of a cool down coming over the bay area. >> significant cool down. so let's kick off our weekend with the red sox in town, with the a's, and we are going to have cool baseball weather out there in oakland. temperatures in the mid 60s for the start of the game but look at how the temperatures fall later this evening into the upper 50s with a breezy one. we have music on the square kicking off this evening at 6:00. 60 degrees, so bring your jacket or maybe your lawn chair and a blanket, it'll be chilly but a nice evening nonetheless, now tomorrow, the san mateo county fair opening with some not too bad weather, it's not

going to be all of that sunny but we will see mostly cloudy skies continuing, as we reach into the upper 60s but you may want to get a good spot for the commoners tomorrow evening. for the weekend forecast, in napa, we will see rain chances coming in on sunday. we could also see it raining in san francisco so we will talk more about that sunday rain coming up, vianey has a look at how the roads are moving this morning. >> and i do have an update on the bay bridge, the metering lights have officially been turned on, so that means we are starting to notice a little more slowing as you approach the bay bridge from westbound 80 to the bay bridge, 14 minutes, westbound 580 , about 13 minutes, a quick check of your peninsula drive times, southbound 101 from venice avenue 12 minutes, no issues around southbound 101. coming up, president biden urging new gun control, but he's got a lot of things in the way. we will take a look at that, coming up after the break. today is national doughnut day. whether you like glazed,

the proposed legislation wouldn't take their guns and in the side of the time, the democrats inability to get lost, this dismissed the new ban on the assault weapons the minute he brought it up. >> we need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. if we can't ban assault weapons, we should raise the age to purchase them. from 18 to 21. strengthen the background checks, and enact red flag laws. >> a group of senators from both sides of the aisle are meeting mostly on zoom, working on for issues, better mental health care, remember texas cut mental health care, better security for schools, expanding background checks and encouraging states to pass red flag laws that would allow courts to temporarily seize guns from people who may be planning an attack. the today show will have much more.

those are right now the moderate changes that are being discussed but again, our sources tell us they have a framework right now that might be enough for them to all come back to washington next week and actually have a real debate on what to do here. >> uncontrolled supporters will need 60 votes in the senate, 10 republicans and other words plus democrat joe mansion to get anything past, while polls show an overwhelming number of americans want washington to do something. washington has not done something, and if we are being realistic, it probably won't, you body, texas, is one of a string of shootings, there have been three mass shootings since you've all >>, the latest was outside and iowa church. the labor department reported 300,000 jobs in may, the unemployment rate stands at 3.6%. we were hoping to see 3 1/2, that would have been the lowest since the start of the pandemic but overall, this has been
