good wednesday morning. i market marcus washington. >> we want to get right to that breaking news in the south bay. saturday, please have a home surrounded in san jose. you can see a heavy police

presence there. police say a murder suspect barricaded himself inside at home. can see the address here on the bettendorf drive between highway 101, and monterey road. officers believe that suspect also shot, and killed a man yesterday. then during a chase he fired his gun at officers according to police. neighbors are evacuated in the area, and are being told to stay home. that deadly shooting happened at this location here at your screen. the man who died in san jose's 17th homicide victim this year. we are going to continue to monitor that standoff throughout the morning. if you are not in that area don't go there. if you are in the area follow directions from police. another big story to tell you about this morning. that grass fire on the peninsula's opening. still 12 hours later. that fire started about 2:30

yesterday afternoon. as of last night, and it's 5% contained with 20 acres burned so far. evacuation orders have been lifted for people who live nearby. here is a look at the latest outages right there. you can see people in the dark still this morning on the peninsula, and the south bay. power has been restored to thousands of people in that area around morgan hill. kerry, thankfully it won't be as hot today. but, this still is another reminder that fire danger is out there for us. >> the fire danger will continue. in fact, we are still talking about mid-to-upper 90s. that's not really much yesterday. when you at the humidity it

keeps the body from pulling down, and we have the potential of some thunderstorms. going into the weekend it's dry and hot. let me show you all the activity with these thunderstorms happening across southern california from l.a. to bakersfield. all of these icons are under clouds of lightning. this is a really active system with that moisture headed close to the bay area. we are going to see a chance of some of those storms moving into our area later this evening. >> all right. thanks, kari. service could be slow in parts of the east bay. this is after one of the trains derailed yesterday. >> we do have live coverage tracking the community. bob, bart says is going to keep the factory here.

>> reporter: correct. we know it was hard yesterday. it was over 100 degrees here. so hot that it actually heated up these rails, and caused one of them to partially bend, or warp. which led to the derailment of a train yesterday. that's when over crossing above the tracks by middle school if you are not familiar with the area. they have been working overnight. we can't tell if they are almost finished with the work, but they have been working overnight doing that. bart does not expect this to be done this morning. this is in both directions between the stations, and concorde. on the left of the yellow line once you get past it. there were about 50 people on board were traveling between

concord and hill headed towards san francisco when two cards jumped the tracks. >> basically, the car went flying. it went up in the air. everyone was freaking out. it was like a roller coaster or something. >> the train sounded a lot louder than usual, and a little weird. then fire sparked out of nowhere. i thought that was strange. >> reporter: one person complained of back pain, and was taken to the hospital. some people were seen getting out of the train on their own. again, they are single tracking. bart is between concord, and pleasant hill this morning. for more on the impact of the community, and the rest of your drive. >> good morning, and thank you

bob for that information. as bob was saying the yellow line is going to expect some delays. i've been following the twitter page. the latest information says both platforms and pleasant hill station are open this morning as bob said, and that single track will continue between pleasant hill and concorde. there is a county connection of all the operating roads 11, and 14. again, that's between pleasant hill and concorde b.a.r.t. station. it also says that you can expect up to a 15 minute delay, because of that track maintenance. also, because of that problem there is no direct service to san francisco. so, san francisco passengers and border. said train, and transfer to the airport train. we will keep you updated on this information, and of course the rest of your bay area

commute coming up in a couple of minutes. senate leaders announced a new bipartisan deal on gun reform measures. the bill comes in response to the recent mass shootings in texas, and in buffalo new york. today, chris pollone is out in washington. how does disagreement come together for so long? how does it happen next? >> yeah, good morning. lawmakers have finally released the text of this bill that would be -- it provides a narrow set of gun reform measures. the legislation includes measures to implement flag laws. it deals with whether unmarried partners can have guns if they were found guilty of domestic violence. it also provides for background checks were people between the ages of 18 and 21. if the bill passes it'll keep children and communities safer. >> we know there is no such thing as a perfect piece of

legislation. we are imperfect human beings, but we have to try, and i believe this bill is a step in the right direction. >> reporter: senate majority leader said he wants to pass this bill by saturday. that's before the senate recesses for the july holiday, a two week break. kris. >> thank you very much, chris. we will be watching for that. two valley teenagers accused in a bold east bay carjacking. this minivan was stolen monday night. the young driver was practicing parking the vehicle while his father was curbside. investigators say those suspects pulled up to the car in a separate vehicle. police soon spotted that van chasing the suspects with speeds reaching more than 100 miles per hour. the juvenile suspect was eventually caught in merced county where they say those

suspects. the former second in command. prosecutors always already wrapped up their case. never called the shots, and he was a victim of fraud just like other investors. was convicted in january on similar charges. both she, and are both to blame. in the courtroom throughout the case. be sure to follow him on twitter for the latest update on closing arguments, and jury deliberation. it is 6:09 this morning. beautiful way to start this wednesday morning. temperatures not so beautiful in some spots. kari howe will have a couple of looks at those temperatures today. >> the inability of your body

to cool down tonight is what causes a lot of that heat -related stress. we are still dealing with that today. a lot of the heat advisories are now shifted off towards. you do need to make sure you are being really careful. our temperatures are normal for this time of year. way above that after setting all those records yesterday. oakland today reaching 84. san jose up to even some aftern i'll have more on that in a few minutes. our producers find tried to find some of the lowest gas prices in the bay area. it is $5.97. this is a longer north first street in san carlo, and meanwhile in concord gas is $5.99 along holly

street, an article on monument boulevard. go ahead and take a screenshot. or, take a picture of the screen so you can find some of those better looking gas prices. let's took a look at drivetime. there's that 101 from highway 85. 20 minutes westbound 82 highway 81. and northbound 85 from highway 105 in the south bay. i will send it back over to you. 6:11 right now. there really is very little elbow room with summer. so many people are flying. coming up next we hear why this summer's airport chaos is

nowhere near ending. and the changes coming to your money. you know i can use this one dollar bill to use a of gas. this is going to be bad. yeah, let's look at that. >> oh, my goodness. already. get ready to sink your teeth into what has been called

temperatures already in the late 70s, and it's going to be a really hot day. notice the increase in cloud coverage as we head towards the 90s. that's when we get the muddy conditions, and possibly a few storms in our forecast. not only storms that draw lightning. as the monsoon season starts to kick up more. that in a few minutes. the heater might have been turned on at the bay bridge. it's starting to slow down a little bit. you are looking at 10 minutes. no issues on any of the bridges. good morning, very happy when they to you. the future is calling for most of yesterday's games to be the today's losses. the dallas could lose as much as 600 points on the open. this happened after a huge rally on wall street on tuesday when the game wasn't 600 points. the nasdaq which has suffered lately is above 11,000.

the united states has a new treasurer. the first native american woman to hold the post. fun trivia, women have held that post nonstop since eisenhower was president. there was also a woman treasury secretary. janet yellin. the first woman to hold that post in u.s. history. so, now that we know who the treasurer is we could print new dollar bills. if you ever noticed there are two signatures on the dollar. so, you've got the treasurer, and the treasury secretary. it'll be the first time ever both signatures on our money are from women. it is not hard to figure out what her signature will look like. she's been head of the san francisco, and now the

treasury. so, someday soon you will have the money with two women signatures on it. as far as tough and goes we have been waiting on that one a long time. i hope they hurry that one up, because i want to see that one as well. this morning you might not have any choice but to hold the mustard this summer, because they are in short supply. mustard seeds in canada, and france are feeling the heat this season. literally, the hot weather and war in ukraine are impacting this year's harvest. we could see a shortage that we haven't seen since the 1990s. mustard production right now is about half of what it is in normal years. good thing we already have like 17 mustard jars, and bottles in our refrigerator. >> if i need mustard i want go to the grocery store. i'll go to your house. no, i don't have one. >> well, an anomaly. the weekend is fast approaching. you may not have any mustard for your hotdog, and your

flight make it canceled as well. >> here is a live look at that for you this morning. so far, there are three cancellations being reported today. over the past week more than 10,000 flights have been canceled around the nation. it's all due to staffing shortages, and fuel disruptions. one expert telling us on the today show other flights are also more crowded as a result of this. >> it's not just your imagination. there is really very little elbow room this summer, because so many people are flying, but they are not enough pilots, not enough planes, not enough ground crew to serve that travel demand. so, you are seeing fuller planes, and longer delays. >> so, and head onto the today show how to best navigate your summer travel. that's after 10:00 here today on the bay. and ed connick san

francisco to dr has opened another location. >> planning issues got in the way, but now it's finally up and running. they first opened in 1983 on a mission, and 24th. the most life-changing in america. there are now 11 bay area locations. i have to say i haven't had one, but i mean life-changing? >> i know, right? you've got to see. >> when somebody says something like that. >> let's leave the cooking to somebody else, kari. i love that salad that she posted yesterday. >> it was good. >> we have to do things like that to make sure we are so cool. we are still headed towards the mid-90s today.

87 in napa, and santa rosa reaching 90 degrees. san francisco in the upper 70s, and also some mid-80s. now, we have higher humidity coming in tomorrow. so, even if you look at these high temperatures it is going to feel hotter than that. we also have a chance of spotting storms between tonight, and early tomorrow. the humidity will be dropping on friday. our temperatures don't really drop much either. we are still in the 90s. let me show you all the action happening in southern california right now. all of these icons are like lightning. i just account. there's like 129 lightning strikes happening in the parts of the central valley. with that much lightning activity it could possibly start some wildfires. so, this is a very dangerous situation. all this happening at the remnants of a tropical system that is pushed northward, and it is leading towards the bay area.

the green here on the water vapor shows you where higher humidity, and moisture is in levels of atmosphere. so, that's going to start to move into the bay area this afternoon into the evening. thunderstorm chances go up, but if that range rise up we can still see some lightning, and that's what we had happen in 2020. it doesn't look like it's going to be on that magnitude where we had all those wildfires breaking out, but will we are looking at very little vein popping up at about 4:00 to 5:00 this evening. also, the potential of lightning strikes. especially for the south bay. look at that for the morgan hill area. one lightning strike could be really bad for us. especially, because of how the vegetation is is at record high levels. we start to see that starting to quiet down later tonight. it is still hot with highs in the upper 90s today. 90s with higher humidity, and low 90s throughout the end of the week into the weekend. but, for san francisco is going to feel a lot nicer with highs

in the 70s. all the pride events going on this weekend. it's nice to have someone go escape the heat. you are looking at the morning commute, and also heading in on barge. >> indeed. the sunshine is definitely coming in. i can see the glare now. i've been keeping a close eye on how the roads are doing. northbound 101 to highway 101 to highway 87 you are looking about 30 minutes. no issues down in south bay. meanwhile, down the long southbound 80 to highway 237 you are looking at 12 minutes, and a quick check of northbound 85 to highway 280 to highway 101 about five minutes as of right now. barge writers can expect a delay, because of that track maintenance. all right. 6:22 right now as i told you about an unwelcome guest in the

east bay. no, not her mother-in-law. i'm just kidding. one woman can't take the magic of refusing the home, and the experts have their

(music throughout)

new for you this morning with wildfire concerns. there is a new way to give homeowners peace of mind.

the town of paradise was devastated by wildfires. 85 people were killed. in paradise today, there will be the first only wildfire mitigation designation program. it will help homeowners reduce the risk of losing their home. >> this designations includes three areas. the roof, elements in the building and space. fuel management near the home. >> once the home receives the designation, they can go to their insurance companies and apply for a lower rate. and one woman has her hands full with a visitor. it doesn't want to leave.

they cannot do anything about it because it is illegal to trap catchers. >> i have called every agency in california. there is literally nothing anyone can do. >> oh, my gosh. right now she says she's going to leave the bathroom alone and hopefully he will take off on his own. breaking news in the south bay. a murder suspect barricaded inside of a home. we will bring you more updates. we are following two we are following two brushfires on the peninsula. well, an internet connection's a good start.

but kids also need computers. and sometimes the hardest thing about homework is finding a place to do it. so why not hook community centers up with wifi? for kids like us, and all the amazing things we're gonna learn. through project up, comcast is committing $1 billion dollars so millions more students can continue to get the tools they need to build a future of unlimited possibilities.

police are in a standoff with a murder suspect in the south bay. we are live at the scene with new details on this ongoing investigation. firefighters stayed on the peninsula to protect homes. steak a second fire has been burning in the south bay. can we finally get a break at the gas pump? we breakdown joe biden's new proposal as gas prices continue to soar. this is "today in the bay." we are streaming live on roku,

apple tv and online. street thank you so much for joining us. we want to get you right to that breaking news this morning. san jose police have surrounded a home in san jose. this is near the scene near an elementary school. a murder suspect has barricaded himself inside one of those homes. he has apparently been firing at officers. neighbors have been evacuated. a shooting happened last night on mount shasta drive. the man who was shot later died. police say during the chase that followed the suspect fired at officers. this morning we continue to follow. there is fire activity on the peninsula. there was a brush fire near

emerald hill that left thousands of people without power. and another destroying several outbuildings near morgan hill. >> we have team coverage right now. this is what we are afraid of all around the bay area. >> reporter: good morning. this is what we have been talking about for weeks. high temperatures and the lack of rain can be a recipe for disaster. there is a good number of folks in the peninsula without power. one of the communities impacted by what played out his redwood city. right now because of that fire has not been determined. those living there that fire needed to evacuate. there was a subsequent power outage that affected hillsboro,

san mateo, redwood city, and stanford university. at one point, more than 10,000 customers were without power. this morning pg&e, their map confirms there are hundreds without power. this made for a very tough evening for people trying to beat the heat. one resident told us he has learned from previous outages and is now prepared. >> there is the solar power and a battery for pg&e outages. we have had them the last two years, we have our backup supply and our refrigerator is running. it's pretty good. >> that fire wasn't the only one raising havoc. crews worked to stop a fire and morgan hill near live oak. it did destroy five buildings.

those buildings are agricultural buildings and no one was hurt. they are looking for the cause of that fire. portions of that pg&e map really lit up with the presence of outages. we will give you any information as it does become available as well as the possible cause for those outages. >> it makes it rough when you are trying to cool down and you do not have power and we have these fires going on. we will see our fire danger increasing as hot weather continues today. we may even have some thunderstorms firing up this afternoon and into the evening. we will have more hot temperatures in the forecast even going into the weekend. 90, santa rosa. san francisco, 77. 93, mountain view.

95, san jose. we will follow that threat of thunderstorms. let's take a look at the radar and our hour by hour forecast coming up. if you are taking a trip to the east bay, prepared for some backups. heat played a major role causing a curve in the tracks. this is at the station in pleasant hills that will get passengers to and from concord. that is in addition to single tracking. it is expected to take some time before that track will be fully prepared. what are some of those issues commuters need to be aware of? >> specific to the yellow line from antioch. there is a county

connection offering routes 11 and 14 between pleasant hill and the concord white station. crews have been working through the night because of the partial derailment and because of the hard work, they are running singletrack service in both antioch and the other direction this morning. the rest of the yellow line will have normal service. aside from that issue, i saw another tweet that writers between concord and pleasantville should expect delays from 5 to 15 minutes due to the single tracking. if you take hart during your morning commute, it will be a while before these lines are up and running.

president biden as congress to temporarily suspend the federal gas tax. >> it is $0.18. when you are paying six or seven dollars per gallon it is a small fraction. biden is focused on trying to get gas prices down. >> i have been at this tv station since bill clinton was president. whether it was clint or, presidents cannot really affect gas prices. there are some things that they do like bringing oil from the strategic reserve. in the end, they do not move the needle. california's tax on gas adds the most to the price that you pay. in california it is the republicans that want to

suspend the gas tax. both parties have been for and against it. john mccain would running against senator barack obama proposed a gas tax holiday. someone in washington can pat themselves on the back and say that they did something. just yesterday one of obama's former economic advisers tweeted whatever you thought of the merits of the gas tax holiday, it is a worse idea now. most of the 18.4 cent reduction would be pocketed by industry. to clarify, the oil companies would not get the tax money. if you are used to paying $6.45 and they took the federal tax off that drops it to $6.27. >> i just did the math. i drive a small car and it is a

13 gallon tank. so $2.34. the little guy always loses. happening today, the san francisco school board will take on admission at laurel high school. for the past two years the students have been admitted by a lottery. parents were outrage and that is what the recall of several school board members. the current lottery system stay in place another gear but going back to with mission-based entrance on academic performance. we are taking a life look over san jose. we know that bart is having

some trouble and they are blaming the heat. it is hot enough to bend a rail line, you know it is hot. today, how about upper 90s. it will not help us out in terms of humidity. there is some lightning around bakersfield searching towards fresno and headed toward the bay area. we could see thunderstorms developing especially for the south bay and east bay. it looks like we could start to see showers possibly thunderstorms. if the rain tries up, there could be lightning strikes. this increases our fire danger. i will be monitoring that and we will talk about it coming up. how does it look for the commute? one of the hotspots is in the east bay along southbound

80. about 17 minutes. no major accidents to report along that area. about 12 minutes. about 22 minutes and the metering lights are on at the bay bridge. keep that in mind. you might want to head out now. a new hurdle in the plan the marin county fair is back on. >> if you're not looking right now, you should look. or maybe not. this is a co

good wednesday morning. it has been a long night and temperatures are warm as are heading out in oakland. temperatures in the low 60s. it will be slightly cooler today , but the humidity will not let it feel any cooler. a live look at the san mateo bridge . i will have a

closer look at how your drive times are doing coming up. breaking news out of afghanistan where the taliban says that more than 1000 people died in an earthquake near the border with pakistan. the magnitude 5.9 quake struck early wednesday morning and destroyed hundreds of homes. that is not as strong as what we see here. these are some of the images showing the damage. a lot of those homes are made of mud. the number of dead is expected to climb. many of the impacted villages are at a remote location. we will continue to track this and bring you updates as available. in washington, donald trump was --

we heard from americans that were bullied when they would not go along with the president's plan. >> and worse, his most fervent fans. some sent death threats and in one case broke into a home of a young widow while her children were inside. this is the testimony of bowers and he repeatedly asked his party for evidence, any evidence of fraud in the election. bowers is a very religious man and talked about his faith and patriotism as he explained why he would not go along with the plot. we heard from georgia elections officials that refused to find more votes for trump. we heard evidence after evidence of the plot to overthrow the election. will trump supporters ever be convinced? >> the problem you have is you are in people's hearts.

i remember a specific attorney that we showed walking through this wasn't true. this wasn't true. five or six things. at the end he said i just know in my heart we were cheated. once you get past the heart, the facts don't matter as much. >> we heard from ruby freeman who said do you know how it feels to have the president of the united states target you? and an elections worker was named by donald trump as someone who changed pallets and she did not. she was the target of right wing television and bad press. >> i felt horrible. i felt like it was all my fault. like i would have never be able to be an elections worker on anything else. that is why i decided to do

this now. people were spreading rumors and lies and attacking my mom. >> the white house sent a proposal to congress to suspend the federal gas tax. we will talk more about that in our midday news. let's talk about the testimony on facebook. a new legal plan for a massive south bay reservoir. they are in the process of developing a 320 foot dam that would hold about 140,000 acre- feet of water. construction would begin in 2025. opponents have filed a lawsuit claiming the district violated state law on have a conducted studies from the environmental impact report. the district said that no laws were broken. one of the most famous

contests are returning. >> i can't believe they did not ask us to be judges. beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. right now, the contestants are vying for world's ugliest dog. they are hoping to find a forever home. the official competition happens on friday. kerry sanders will be one of those judges. >> i think that they are kind of cute. >> they don't know what they look like. >> when that tongue is hanging out on the side. i think all of them will have their time hanging out today. make sure that you take care of your pets today, but they are not. it will be hot.

temperatures in the mid-90s at 10 today in the south bay. 97, livermore. santa rosa, 90 degrees today. we are watching this very slow's , the monsoon season is firing up a lot of storms and thunder and lightning around bakersfield and heading toward fresno. that humidity is searching our way. a lot of the lightning strikes may stay over the central valley but there will be the chance that we could see a little bit of that action today. here we are at 3:00 this afternoon. there could be thunder storms. it could move into the south bay by 5:00 or 6:00 today . there is a concern around morgan hill

because it does show some thunderstorm potential as well as lightning strikes. we know that one lightning strike and sparked a fire and cause a lot of problems here. we see this happening with a tropical system drawn into the desert southwest. we see on the water vapor imagery, where it is green, that is a high amount of mid- level moisture. we see it moving into the bay area late this evening and tomorrow and then late thursday and into friday. it will be hot and humid with a chance of storms. we will have to watch out for that fire potential. not much of a cool down. we are still in the 90s which is well above normal. san francisco will be in the upper 70s, and it does look nicer for the weekend. we are looking at highs in the lower 70s.

how is it looking for people trying to get to work? i am starting to notice some slow spots. the westbound 37 in the north bay on sonoma boulevard. about 26 minutes. your east bay drive times, going from 880 to highway 84, 17 minutes. no delays along the southbound 580 to vargas road which is 12 minutes. and the san mateo bridge is moving along pretty nicely. the metering lights are on. we are noticing some slowing on that stretch. back to you. a new push to make social media more accountable when it comes to online hate. they are pushing a bill to increase online hate. they say

it is playing a major role in filing acts. they have to show how they moderate those policies. in the past, the companies claimed publicly no policies could be exploited and it would be difficult to do. a quick look at breaking news. we spoke with police and we have an update on that standoff involving a murder suspect. we are live in the east bay where there is a delay and why he played a role

this? this is supersonic wifi from xfinity. it's fast. like, ready-for- major-gig-speeds fast. like riding-a-cheetah fast. isn't that right, girl? whoa! it can connect hundreds of devices at once. [ in unison ] that's powerful.

couldn't have said it better myself. and with three times the bandwidth, the gaming never has to end. slaying is our business. and business is good. unbeatable internet from xfinity. made to do anything so you can do anything.

we are moving forward with the top stories here on "today in the bay." . san jose police have surrounded a home in san jose and evacuated some of the homes in the area. this is a live look at the scene. a murder suspect has barricaded himself inside of a home . this is between highway 101 and monterey road.

he is accused of killing someone yesterday and entering a chase he allegedly fired gunshots at officers. a deadly shooting happened last night on mount shasta drive and the man who died is the 17th homicide victim this year. >> at approximately 10:57 pm we had a shooting on mount shasta drive. the individual that committed that homicide drove to modesto. in modesto he shot and killed an adult female. for info on that please contact modesto pd. then after he drove back to san jose. at that point we knew who he was and what vehicle he was in. our airship picked him up after 11 oh clock p.m. >> that is the latest update.

we will bring you updates as they come in. service may remain slow as a result of a derailment. and yesterday's extreme heat played a role. >> reporter: they believe that the temperatures in concord actually cause the rail here and were looking down at the section. it caused some of the rail to bend or warp. that caused the derailment. workers are taking a break right now because on the other side, a train was going by. track service is single track between concord and pleasantville while workers are trying to fix this section of rail. as i mentioned, it happened at 5:30 last night between concord and pleasantville headed toward san francisco. about 50 people on board and

two cars jumped the track. heat played a role in that. and let's take it to the peninsula where firefighters are trying to battle a fire that started yesterday afternoon. this is near emerald hill and edgewood road exit. firefighters this morning say the fire is 20% contained. they did have air support. evacuation orders have been lifted so folks can return home . >> there is a concern because of the extreme heat. make sure that you have our app so you can get alerts. we do have some slowing to tell you about. about 26 minutes. also at the toll plaza to the

bay bridge the lights have been turned on. i will retweet all of those updates. >> we are back at 7:25. we will be with you at 11 oh clock. ♪ good morning. breakthrough. overnight the senate moves forward on new gun laws. a bipartisan deal for the first time in nearly three decades. >> congress is back on the path to take meaningful action to address gun violence. >> this morning supporters calling it the most significant step in a generation. and critics who say it does not go near far enough. abject failure. the top cost in texas. hammered -- >> only top stopping them was the on scene who commander who decided to place the lives of
