6:03 am
bring your pictures in a few minutes but i want to show you the backup on the sensors for the southbay. the good news is that san jose shows quicker backup for the first burst, bad news, you will get stuck if you're traveling north 101 into santa clara and sunnyvale. this crash involving a cement truck, is locking 3 of 4 less than lanes. that's a problem as crews still have minor injuries reported but major problem for the commute. 237 and central expressway, all the ways around it, we hope to break you life pictures. moving forward, the nation is hitting another milestone in the fight against covid. because after nearly 2 years, we finally have a vaccine available for the nations babies, toddlers and preschoolers. >> the appointments for those as young as six months old, now available, sierra johnson is life for us, discussing where those appointments are available, sierra? >> good morning, we will get to that availability in just a minute but take a look back, it's been about a year and a half since we watched the first nurse there in new york at that vaccine and so much has changed, the availability, the
6:04 am
ability to even get those vaccines has really become a lot easier and now we've expanded it to include some of our youngest americans, folks as old as just a few months are able to get that vaccine. in terms of that availability, a lot of the shots will be administered by pediatricians, for many, that's the safest way and a lot of the retailers don't vaccinate folks at that young age, so a little about the vaccines, for those 5 years and younger, it's important to note that the is groups are given to vaccination options. side affects include headache, fever and fatigue, the vaccines are safe for children as young as six months, according to the california department of public health, that means 2.2 million children will be able to refute the covid vaccine.
6:05 am
take a listen. >> we know that some number of kids do end up getting sick from covid, unfortunately, we've had tens of thousands of children get hospitalized including tens of thousands in the age group 60 months 252 years. these vaccines are exceedingly safe and that's the biggest message that we been saying. these vaccines have been given to millions and millions of kids. very safe. >> so again, the vaccinations are available for children as young as six months, that really covers the whole gamut of folks in our country, with the latest edition of the vaccine. we are now just hours away from the january 6th hearings, resuming, we want to give you a live look at capitol hill this morning. the house committee will focus on what they say was an effort by former president trump and his allies, to overturn the

2020 election results. election officials from arizona and georgia will testify about their interactions. that includes the georgia secretary of state it was on this infamous call with the president after the states vote was certified. >> i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. because we will must day. >> one of the things i'll be looking for was what was donald trump's knowledge before the phone call and whatever conversations did they have with besides the call. >> another person expected to testify today, and atlanta poll
6:07 am
worker who received threats after trump signaled her out by name, several times, after the election. >> the hearings are expected to start at 10:00 this morning. will bring them to you in a special report. the team will also bring you updates of what comes out of those hearings, later today on nbc bay area news and nbcbayarea.com. closing arguments are set to begin in the trial of the former president and chief operating officer of theranos. you might remember, she was found guilty on four counts, elizabeth holmes and could spend up to 20 years in prison when she sentence. we talked about the differences. >> it was similar in a lot of ways because it was the same playbook that the prosecution had, same charges filed, and the witnesses were very similar. but it was different. have a different feel, because there was much less celebrity. a lot less press, almost nobody showed up to take it in whereas in the holmes case we had to have an overflow courtroom and people were being turned away because elizabeth holmes as the
6:08 am
celebrity that he did not have, but after covering the holmes case, for all of those months, it felt extremely similar to cover that case because it was the same set of prosecuting attorneys, a very similar set of witnesses, and they were asked the same question, so clearly, they wanted the jurors in this case to come to the same conclusions that the jurors came to in the holmes case. >> and that conclusion was that she was guilty on a number of charges related to conspiracy and fraud and the fact that he did not testify in his own behalf, do you think that will make a difference? >> i don't know if he would have made all that great of a witness. the one thing we knew in advance
6:09 am
was that elizabeth holmes was a really good interview. i interviewed her myself. she was very, as we know, able to get her point across and convince people to part with a lot of money. none of us ever talked to balwani, he was involved in the company, and that's part of what the prosecution has been trying to prove, but he was never the front man they >> be sure to follow scott on twitter, he's been in the courtroom for months, he has updates on closing arguments over the coming days. >> let's take a live look at san jose this morning, the sun is starting to come up. of course the heat is starting to come. we will talk more about the drive in a bit. mike has a look at the commute but terry, the weather we are experiencing, it'll be a hot one. >> the first day of summer, we are under a microclimate weather alert and we are talking about record-breaking temperatures again for today.
6:10 am
end up with, the temperatures are in the low 60s and at 9:00, it'll be 77 which is closer to her normal high temperature. but we are going to continue to rise more from their reaching into the mid-90s by 1:00. eventually hitting 99 degrees today. 105, that'll be the high in fairfield while san francisco will be in the mid 80s. in the north bay, santa rosa, hitting 102 degrees. extremely hot today, that i do have more concerns as we head through the week. so we will talk more about that coming up. mike, you are also tracking and alert. if you look at our pictures that we have from our photographer, northbound 101, the backup, flashing lights, only one northbound lane is open and this is the reason for the backup, you are looking at it right now. you see more chp cruisers arriving on scene, the tow truck, i don't know if it has gotten there because they need a heavier tow truck because this is again, it's a cement truck, that does have wet concrete in the back. no major injuries but there are some injuries, and that will take a while to clear once the crews are on scene. the map shows you the backup

6:14 am
6:15 am
good tuesday morning, right now and 6:14 it's time to get up and moving and we are under a microclimate weather alert. whatever outdoor activities you have, you want to get it in before 10:00. we can to the temperature trend in walnut creek going from mid 60s to mid 80s at 10:00 to upper 90s at 1:00 today. dangerous heat, for the middle of the afternoon. i'm tracking back as well as a chance for thunderstorms in our forecast, more on that coming up in a few minutes. >> find a cool spot and lay down but not if you are a cement truck, this is 101, north 101 at matilda, the alert continues for the southbay, 101, backing up before great american parkway, we will talk about the ripple effect to try to get you around this if you are watching from home, which clearly, you are . happy tuesday to you, elon musk has reiterated his plan to cut about 10% of the tesla workforce. he said that he has a, quote, super bad feeling about the economy, and said the layoffs would take place. this guy is not as famous as elon musk but he has the
6:16 am
opposite feeling. federal reserve governor, james bullard told a conference in spain, he expects the economy to expand this quarter, not retract, now the classic definition of a recession is two quarters of negative growth, so if he's right, we will not be in a recession. we shall see. the white house, considering a federal gas tax holiday, to bring down gas prices. several states have tried this, with varying results. it would have of course degrees funding to roads and other things paid for by the federal gas tax. in san jose, there paying about $6.45 a gallon, so if we break this down, you are paying about $.80 to the federal government per gallon, at the pump. california, gets $.51, and that makes the cost of the actualgas to you. there are a lot of profits for the oil companies built in there, too, so bottom line, if we had a federal tax holiday, gas in the bay area, would cost
6:17 am
$6.27 a gallon. other news, a republican politicians video, has been blocked on twitter and removed from facebook, after he encouraged people to go rhino hunting. now right now is what some republicans called other republicans, republican in name only. we will only show you stills of the ad. eric great to the former governor of missouri, he stepped down after allegations of sexual assault. he's running for senate. twitter and facebook blocked be added for violating it's prohibition against encouraging targeted violence. critics point out not only does the ad encourage violence against republicans, it incorporates the figures dressed as the military. our military does not get involved in civil affairs like politics certainly, doesn't busted people's homes, he says rhinos are not conservative enough for him and kris and marcus, he says there's a new hunting license for them and
6:18 am
youtube and twitter are saying, that's a step too far. >> all right, it's good to see them policing some level of discourse. we do have a warning for travelers this morning, if you're flying american airlines, you should know that they are going to drop service for three smaller cities. ithaca at islip new york and toledo, ohio, after september seventh, blaming the shortage of pilots. americans reaching out to customers scheduled to fly to or from those cities but the move will have a major impact on toledo, as american is the only major carrier that flies there and allegiant is the only other airline. the closest airline is detroit, about 50 miles away. boy, are we lucky? three fantastic airports in the bay area. queen be, she says, to dance, then we will dance. >> overnight, she is dropping the first rack from the upcoming album, the song has many people already moving about this morning, take a
6:19 am
listen. >> ♪ ♪ it definitely makes you move, somebody texted me and said it gives more of that robin s field. remember back in the 90s? the track features big freda ♪ you already know ♪ he's known
6:20 am
for his music in the bounce music, it started in new orleans, that makes you want to move. and if you didn't know, big freda on that song, information, at the beginning, that's big freda, so if you are like big freda, that's big freda. >> it's it's it's interesting, usually be think of her as her elaborate dance and whatnot and this time she's like learn the words first. >> she's teaching the reading, it's good for the kids. >> reading is fundamental. >> we saw that video, i just want to walk like that all day. kari, do you want to join me? >> a pep in your step on this tuesday morning and if you are dancing or doing anything, try to stay active, we are trying to get it in before the temperatures heat up. i want to show you this beautiful shot of the golden gate bridge. they have these thin wisps of fog just rolling by, but it's not the cooling fog that we like to see. so take a look at our southbay high temperatures for this afternoon. headed for 103 degrees in gilroy today, try to stay cool. we are up to 105 in antioch and concord, and 96 in fremont,
6:21 am
really hot in oakland with a high of 93 degrees. it's going to be a little bit warmer, but still fairly mild in comparison to the coastline today, while palo alto heads to 97, upper 70s in san francisco, but when you head over toward the downtown area in the mission district, we are in the mid 80s a day and 103 in sonoma, and in ukiah. as we go through the next few days, our temperature start to cool off, but it won't really feel like it because we will get higher humidity. the monsoon season has kicked in early and it's going to spark up showers for parts of the ciara and some of the moisture will be coming into the bay area with high clouds, a bit or humidity, and we remember in 2020, when we had a surge in monsoonal moisture, and spark the thunderstorms that caused wildfires. it doesn't look like it'll be on that magnitude but even as
6:22 am
we take a look at the mid-level moisture, the green indicates higher levels of humidity, right over the bay area, we will have to really continue to be careful during that time, and monitor that lightning threat, as our temperatures stay in the 90s, so still pretty warm, even as we head into the weekend. and mike's been trapped tracking a traffic alert. >> continuing for folks traveling north on 101 through the southbay, san jose, heading into santa clara and sunnyvale, mountain view, this overturned cement truck is the issue, lots of hope, clearly there, giving advice for discussing what's going on, they need the tow truck, it's blocking 3 of the 4 lanes, there are two truck, it's filled with wet cement or concrete and the map shows you the backup and your ultimate, you can get over to 237 north, great american parkway, that'll get you out of the back of it, thankfully san jose is backup, 101 is not there, perhaps more folks are using to 80. you might want to consider that
6:23 am

6:32 am
and 105 in fairfield. bob adele is out live with her on that spare the air alert day. you are near one of those spots that will be reaching triple digits. >> reporter: you are correct. as you mentioned, air quality has disparity which means they would like if you could to avoid getting in the car today. you can walk to work, carpool, take public transit, whatever it is you can do to get into the office. the district is predicting the smog created will make the air very unhealthy to breathe. especially for people with underlying lung conditions. bad air can trigger asthma, and worsen bronchitis and emphysema. the best time to exercise outside is right now in the early morning when the ozone

6:34 am
american to die as a result of the war. in newspaper picture said the 52-year-old leaves behind a wife and stepchildren and his death follows reports that two other americans who joined the efforts there disappear in ukraine this month. we continue to watch the supreme court closely as the decision in the case of roe v. wade could come from the supreme court sometime this week. the updated calendar indicates a decision could be handed down as early as this morning. a leaked draft opinion suggested that five justices are ready to overturn roe v. wade and give states the right to determine whether or not abortion rights should be restricted. some states already enacted trigger loss which will ban or limit abortions the moment roe v. wade is overturn. for example, missouri proposed a law that will allow the people to sue abortion providers. these images of an
6:35 am
unconscious victim at the mall are spreading on social media. police say the suspect, armed with a knife, ripped jewelry off the man and ran away. it happened saturday morning. police say the people they spoke to at the mall last night were just disturbed by the attack. >> it was scary because you don't know where you are safe anymore. things happen everywhere. and she is young, so i always worry about that. i don't know. what can we do? >> the victim is believed to be filipino and some comments on social media are saying that this may be anti-asian hate. police are not commenting on a possible motive. police say a man is expected in court today. the 25-

6:37 am
see the smoke. fortunately, chris got a handle on that right away. no reports -- there are reports, aisha k, the fireworks may be to blame the firefighters are saying the cause is under investigation. the dangerous weather conditions we are seeing this morning pose a threat to any of those fires. >> we don't want to be messing around with fireworks in these conditions. things can get out of control quickly. today we have a heat advisory that begins in 3 1/2 hours and continues until this afternoon. let me show you napa. were starting out at 51 degrees. nice and comfortable, but look at the range in temperatures and how quickly it warms up today. we are also going to see

refusing to do what trump told him to do to block the certification. we learned the mob shouting hang mike pence got within 40 feet of the then vice president. politico is reporting this morning that select committee has evidence the trump team was working on a plan to negate the election even before the election took place. we may hear that allegation today. we should also hear from the acting -- farmer and texting attorney general who refused in order to announce the justice department have found the election fraudulent. it hadn't. from georgia secretary of state, brad raffensperger and his lieutenant gabriel sterling both republicans whose lives were threatened after they refused to block george's results, georgia went to biden. you may remember them from their frequent press conferences at the bottom of the staircase at the georgia capital. trump is under investigation in georgia for pressuring them to find more votes to reverse the
