we have really comfortable weather for san francisco where we breach into the low 70s. we will take a look at that weekend forecast coming up in a few minutes. we begin this hour with breaking news out of japan of the assassination of former japanese prime minister shinzo abe . >> overnight doctors confirmed he died being shot while delivering a campaign speech. we have to tell you that this video is edited but still disturbing. you can see the second leading up to the gunfire and the aftermath as the frantic bystanders tried to save his life. this happened about 50 miles east of tokyo. the gunman fired as he was delivering a speech for other members of the liberal democratic party. u.s. secretary of state antony blinken addressed the shooting overnight at the g 12 meeting in indonesia. >> our thoughts, our prayers are with him, his family, with the people of japan. this is a very, very sad moment

. we are awaiting news now. >> other video from the scene shows the shooting suspect being wrestled to the ground. authorities say that he is in his 40s and a local resident with a military background. the shotgun they say was homemade. shootings are extremely rare in japan. abe was the japan longest- serving prime minister and step down two years ago due to health problems. we will keep you updated throughout this newscast. our twitter page is also great resource for updates and are handle is nbc bay area. the white house committee investigating the general six attack and plans to hear from a crucial witness today. it is the former reston's white house lawyer. you may recall previously that he resisted cooperating with the committee.

today in the bay brie jackson is live in washington this morning. talk with us about what we know and what we can expect from this testimony today. >> reporter: within the past 30 minutes pat cipollone arrived on capitol hill. nbc news has learned he will sit down for a transcribed and videotaped interview behind closed doors. cipollone was in the room with former president trump on general six entering the key meetings leading up to that day. >> my name is pat cipollone. >> reporter: the former white house counsel pat cipollone expected to testify behind closed doors taking the hot seat amid the increasing pressure from the january 6 committee . >> we think the american people deserve to hear from mr. cipollone personally. >> reporter: deviously cipollone met with committee investigators or the informal

interview and the latest appears comes after the panel issued a subpoena citing specific interesting evidence that mr. cipollone repeatedly braced legal and other concerns about the trump activities leading to and on january 6. this follows bombshell testimony from former white house aide cassidy hutchinson. >> mr. cipollone said something to the effect of please make sure we don't go to the capitol. we will get charged with any crime imaginable if we make that movement happen. >> reporter: considered critical to the committee investigation and u.s. capitol attack. >> he was present at some of the key moments we have already learned about from others who were in the room. the efforts to get the justice department to issue the bogus letter. >> reporter: panel members suggest that he could be the missing link with the information about the former president's actions that day and efforts to call off the rioters. >> the next public hearing is scheduled for tuesday.

committee member say that the focus will be on the mob that stormed the capitol, including far right extremist groups. >> that is brie jackson in washington this morning. happening today in washington, president biden scheduled to give remarks about protecting access to reproductive health services. he is also expected to sign an executive order. this comes two weeks after the supreme court ruling overturning the protection of roe v. wade. since the rolling biden stressed that his ability to protect abortion rights by executive action is limited without congress. considering get another big interest rate hike later this month which leads to even more questions that another recession could not be too far off. this comes as we were already dealing with record inflation. i spoke with sam gaeta with defined financial planning to find out more. i asked him how likely it is

for us to hit a recession. >> it is not unlikely. the traditional recession definition is two consecutive quarters of declining or negative gdp in the united states. that is essentially productivity. united states productivity is going down and not up. that usually leads to a recession. there is some interesting components in this particular environment. we are seeing the federal reserve raising interest rates to try to combat inflation which we expect to drive down productivity. we are taking money off of the table of the u.s. economy but we have really strong employment numbers. especially in the bay area, we have san francisco on appointment numbers at 1.9% i believe right now. so july is going to be an interesting month. july is when we get all of the economic data for the quarter,

so q2 of 2022. we will also get the cpi information, what inflation looks like. if inflation is still high, gdp down, that is not a good recipe. that usually means the fed will keep raising rates more dramatically and a strong likelihood we will see a recessionary environment. >> we hear people talking about that we are already in a recession so why do we hear people saying that already? >> what is interesting about the markets, we have seen a dramatic selloff in the united states stock market. 20% down for the s&p 500, nasdaq down over 30%. technology sector hard-hit by increases. the markets are forward-looking mechanisms so we don't really care about what is happening today when we are buying equity in stocks. we care about what will happen in the near-term and midterm. we want to participate in profits. if the opportunity for

those profits goes down because of recession, equity valuations go down. that is a lot of forward- looking information. how the recession hits you personally, you may not see that really taking effect and could see it taking effect in your 401(k) plan but we know we won't really utilize that 401(k) plan for a while, especially if you're working. so that is not so dramatic personally. what we see is later on, the net effect of recession down the road at least all of these layoffs. companies having to streamline operations, less consumer spending. that can hit home where you want to prepare if you think that will happen. >> i spoke with scott about so much more, including actions you can take right now to prepare for possible recession. watch the full interview on roku, amazon firetv and apple tv by downloading our nbc bay area streaming app.

numbers. how can we have red numbers with amazing news? we will explain that too. the suspense is building as the fans get ready for the release of the upcoming sci-fi horror film. where you can get a first-hand experience on the movie magic set to pl out ay

number. we beat that expectation by 120,000. if you're saying to yourself that i thought the economy was in trouble, both are two at the same time. there are two jobs open for every worker. the jobs report shows the economic engine continues to run on all cylinders. but the fed keeps trying to throw the ranchin the engine to slow us down which is the job with the fed essentially. raise interest rates until the economy slows down and inflation with that. this number gets smaller and this number gets bigger. this is counterintuitive. you may, for instance, think that the stock market would be happy about a great jobs number. in fact, the markets will probably trade lower because investors are worried that the fed will see those numbers and get even more aggressive on interest rates. we will have a few months of everything amazing but at the same time it is not amazing and it is really bad.

the washington post reporting elon musk stop the working on funding that he needed to buy twitter. elon musk saying that twitter had more fake accounts that inspected but elon musk signed a deal to buy twittered no matter what with no contingency. twitter could make them stick with the deal and badly, badly overpay for the social network. this is security, can i help you, sir? >> this is security and is there something i can help you with? >> this security company uses specialized software cameras power with artificial intelligence the spot crime. the sentinel made a deal with businesses in downtown salinas and the company said they and cut property crime significantly there. the cameras alert the guard that is human when they see crime in progress meaning cameras learn what crime looks like. they apparently have a blind spot, flags, and we talked with the inventor. >> at any point in time when

the flag looks like it is doing something suspicious, it send it to the guard. we actually had to build the special a.i. just to identify flags that look like people. that was definitely not on our product roadmap when we launched the company but one of our key pieces of intellectual property and we actually patented it it. >> it almost sounds like a movie plot. someone will watch this interview and dress up as a flag. >> that is probably right. that is a you can beat it, right? >> david will be my guest right after meet the press on the nbc bay area on sunday. >> he is also the owner of the online company redfin.com is well. we talk about artificial intelligence what it means for society. for instance, cameras learn what crime looks like by watching crime. one thing that logically happens is that men are more likely to create property crime. it is just true. so the cameras say that men are

more suspicious than women. the cameras develop a bias on their own. or a.i. programmer sometimes accidentally bring their own bias into a.i.. how should we or could we keep bias out of a.i. or should we? it is a fascinating conversation . >> we are glad that he wrote an entire book about it. a.i. bias. it is interesting. it is 6:19 for you this morning. it is christmas in july for the fans the backstreet boys. the boy band getting ready to release the first ever holiday item, the holiday album. here is a sneak peek. the backstreet boys finally releasing a christmas album

this with the kids. let's get started as we get a look at how are we can is beginning with some sunshine across the bay area as we take a live look outside in dublin. it is nice and cool but still it will warm up quickly. san francisco where you can see the fog rolling over the golden gate bridge. here is a look from above with our sutro tower camera looking down at the golden gate bridge. we start out mild as you make plans for the day, and a little bit warmer. it will start out with mid-60s, mid-70s by 10:00. you can see the trend here, turning red with low 80s at 1:00, eventually reaching up to 91 in fairfield. our bally's are eating up while san francisco will see the fog clearing out more quickly and will warm up into the low 70s. mountain view will see a high of 79 degrees. we won't get a stronger breeze, but tomorrow slightly cooler.

if you like the cooler weather, this is your day to make outdoor plans. sunday if you want to go swimming or do something where you like the warmer weather, sunday is your day with highs reaching into the upper 70s. as we take a look at what is happening across the region, a large area of high pressure will cause more intense heat. in a spot like vegas through the day hot in july but talking about records here and this is something we will watch across the region as the heat starts to nudge its way into central valley and parts of the bay area. it will get hotter as we go through the next few days. we go from low 80s on saturday, to low 90s on sunday, as we continue with the heat at least at the start of the week before cooling off slightly. there will not be much of a change at san francisco where it is looking really good. mike is looking for slower traffic >> i found some at altamont pass with that slowing at the dublin interchange, just fine. there was an earlier crash but

the metering lights are on. we are also following the breaking news and shockwaves being felt around the world this morning after the assassination of former prime minister of japan shinzo abe. the news of his death only confirmed by the hospital in the last couple hours. we have to warn you, we are about to show you edited video that is hard to watch. you can see the moments leading up to the gunfire and aftermath as bystanders try to save his life. this happened near osaka which is about 50 miles east of tokyo. the gunman fired as abe was delivering a camping space for other members of his party. another video shows the shooting suspect after he was wrestled to the ground. authorities say he is in his 40s in a local resident with a military background. they say the shotgun he used was homemade. shootings in japan are extremely rare and today, we

brooke jenkins spoke to nbc bay area and talked about what she looks to accomplish when in office. >> i first want to accomplish setting a new town in san francisco. i think there was the belief that we are in different to crime and simply tolerant of it because this is a big city. i want to change that tone and set a new tone where people understand, no, we are not indifferent to crime and there is accountability. if you commit crime here, there are consequences. i think setting that new tone will be the first step in pursuing change. >> reporter: jenkins has more of a prosecutorialbut it is noted she does not have any managerial experience. her strength will bring a balance between accountability and reform and let's listen to what she has to say about how

she will strike the balance. >> that is a tough balance but one i believe we can achieve. we have to make sure we are dedicated to finding which offenders are serious about turning around their lives and who are appropriate for that being an avenue. and putting them into serious programming that will actually facilitate them changing their lives. we also have to be dedicated to accountability. that means if people continue to show us they are going to live a life of crime and reopen in our city, we may have to make other decisions. >> reporter: jenkins will have to hit the ground running and have until the november election to prove to san francisco voters she needs to be in the position and boudin has not ruled out running again on the ballot. live in san francisco, today in the bay.fort accused chesa
