>> a well maintained trashcan is going to make a lot of difference. right now controversial cans. semper cisco is rolling out six kinds of trash cans hoping that you can help them decide which ones to buy. a live report on that hefty price tag. bay area business owners are speaking out after vandals tag their business. he is the one facing the fine. the response from the city. secret service is under scrutiny after deleting text messages around the time the insurrection happened. what the agency is blaming for the missing messages. thursday morning. thank you so much for starting your day with us. let's get started with a look at your forecast. how is it looking?

it's going to be hot in those inland areas depending on where you will be today is how much it will heat up. right now it's about 55 degrees. notice we are starting out pretty clear overall. a few areas of cloud cover and then by about 10:00 or 11:00 your temperatures climb into the 70s pretty quickly. it's going to warm up pretty fast through the interior. but you look at areas like san francisco and one thing you will notice is that marine layer hangs out pretty much for the first half of the day and then we get peaks of sunshine in until 11:00. if you're in san francisco you could be noticing new trash cans. they've been creating a buzz all week because of their design and the price tag. today in the bay we have a deeper dive into where this comes from and it will give us a look at the options whether they are worth it or not?

>> this one is called the slim silhouette. when i was looking at the prototype pictures trying to choose which one i liked the best this intrigues me because this is just one of new trash can designs that are rolling out to 26 locations and they will replace existing trash cans with the design that the people like most and which one works best. you may have seen the mockups earlier this week when they were unveiled but the public works department has been working on them for over a year now. and part of that is to reduce litter and keep sidewalks clean. but they are also trying to replace existing trash cans because they are 20 years old. some of them like the custom designs like we are standing next to have clever names like salt and pepper slim silhouette and self square. those are the ones that are

making the headlines because of the price tags. they have sensors that can message when they are full. how complicated can it be? they are trash cans? public works says they have to meet standards that we may not think about when it comes to picking up trash cans for home. >> you have to have one that the material is strong the pieces are strong it's easy to fix or repair and it's very easy to clean. and easy to remove graffiti. the maintenance is important and we wanted to be beautiful. this is an object that will be across the city with over 3000 of them and we would need them for a generation. >> there is a map posted on where you can find the trash cans over the 60 day pilot program. the gray and orange icons are custom-built green and yellow are the standard ones and each will have a qr code for folks to leave feedback.

check out this qr code on the side. all you have to do is scan that you can leave your opinion but eventually the city will have to make a decision and replace all trash cans. hopefully to create a cleaner city. >> i like the design. a lot of money. but of course they are just trash cans. thank you gender. here is alive look at the january six committee holding its final hearing in prime time. we morning. leaders are promising to provide evidence for what they call the deflection of duty as supporters stormed to the capital on that fateful day. >> tonight they say they will reveal exactly what was happening in the white house as

the writers stormed the capital. they are honing in on about 187 key minutes. in the eighth public meeting they investigate the insurrection focusing mainly on former president donald trump. >> he didn't take any action even at the urging of the people around him. 187 minutes. the time from when he concluded his speech until he told supporters at the capital to go home in a video post on twitter. two former aides are expected to testify. messy pottage her and sarah matthews. in their private testimony both cited a tweet attacking mike pence as the final straw. >> the situation was already bad. so felt like he was pouring gasoline on the fire. the former vice president is back on capitol hill to meet with house republicans. many lauding him for doing the right thing as writers chanted

for him to be hanged. the committee does not have the power to charge anyone with a crime. but analysts say the work so far has given the justice department a roadmap in a separate investigation into the origins. there is a culmination that is going to affect every jury. it reveals the intent in the can be no claim that he was trying to do the right thing. ensuring the public the not even the former president is immune from prosecution. >> no person is above the law in this day and age. >> the former president says he did nothing wrong and the committee is motivated by politics. >> this is the last scheduled hearing of this committee. but they say it is likely they will be holding more before the end of the year. >> the committee hope to have the text messages from the secret service to shed more light on what the former president was doing during this attack. what is the latest on those

missing messages? >> the secret service continues to maintain they did nothing wrong claiming that those text messages that the committee is looking for were deleted during a routine upgrading of their devices. but a source did tell the nbc news department that agents were told once or twice to preserve all data on those devices before they were upgraded. members of the committee are furious and say that it is possible the secret service is guilty of breaking a federal data wall. >> thank you for the latest information. there will be a special report tonight for the final january six committee hearing lester holt will anchor this from new york and they will be join onset by holly jackson and chuck todd. that is expected right here on nbc bay area. the girlfriend of a food delivery driver shot and killed in oakland is now speaking out

cleaning up the property. those hit repeatedly can file for hardship and city leaders are proposing more for those hit by those attackers. live look outside san francisco on thursday morning. it'll get you closer to the weekend. how are we looking today? >> we are seeing a live shot here in san francisco with the marine layer and it's also been filling at times a bit muggy. there's been monsoon moisture making its impact. i want to give you a closer look at the daytime highs. in the 50s right now but it will be cool around the bay and the peninsula. and then hot in the inland areas. look at the microclimate difference. 71 in oakland and 83 in san jose. let's check in with mike right

asia. >> if we don't level the playing field and make america more attractive for stuff like manufacturing through this legislation and other legislation which is investment tax credits for building this level, we will end up with virtually no manufacturing on our shores. >> the big winner here is the nation's largest chipmaker intel which is planning to build the factories in the u.s. moving business out of taiwan. to places like arizona. the politics have been mixed in here. nancy pelosi's husband paul a long time wall street investor bought lots of shares of nvidia ahead of the senate approval yesterday. that has led some critics to claim foul play but the idea that the senate would pass the bill was nearly guaranteed. not only did it have bipartisan support the senate had actually passed something very similar back in march.

for that matter nvidia probably won't benefit from this as much is and how well. experts tell us gas prices have likely peaked and may have hit a four dollar nationwide average in the next few weeks. demand starts to slow and they speculate that demand will fall even further when the world falls into recession. it is one of those things that you can't have a vocal age. you can have a strong economy but you can pay a lot of gas money issues because a lot of people are manufacturing or moving. are you can have a weak economy and low gas prices. it's very difficult to do both. >> speculators are speculating a lot. it is 5:18., con is kicking off in san diego. we will have a lien report later in our newscast. but there's also a 14 foot tall lego statue. the newest mighty set is part

you get to upper 90s in areas like antioch it really showcases the difference in temperatures within just a few miles depending on what kind of vegetation is around are the mountains or water san mateo at 75 semper cisco in the upper 50s it will get breezy as well into the semper cisco area imparts the northbay santa rosa having a high of about 86. clear lake nearing triple digits. but this is seasonable for this time of year we are going to take into consideration that is very dry. so once the wind picks up for the afternoon at 20 to 20 one miles per hour there's a lot of dry brush and the fires can quickly start and spread. we will continue to see breezy wins in for tomorrow but that dry brush is really the concern. the reason why we are cooling off for tomorrow is there is a

nearby low pressure system that will coolest into the 80s but then we warm back into saturday and sunday. >> we are looking out the altar one pass. we've been watching a crash at 205 just before it gets to 580. with that crash cleared were looking at more traffic making its way over to grandma on road with no major issues coming out of costa county. we are through the south bay and 101 also clearing. there may be a fender bender near the toll plaza and i'm not sure which direction so we will continue to track this. it's clear from the grid so that is good news from chp. we talked about those travel times basically a little volume on marsh creek down the 580. creeping a bit westward. back to you.

great as well. you have the bay bridge and you can't to the top of the tower. but you're not driving there so that's fine. you can see those tail lights driving through cost county there's a tiny delay out of alejo and concorde. looking at the rest of the bay there is a smooth drive with no injuries. it is 5:32. world health leaders are meeting at this hour. they may decide to declare monkeypox a public health outbreak. we have a look at what that could mean and the new bay area push to stop the spread. >> right now they will be holding a second emergency committee meeting about whether not they should declare it a worldwide emergency. if it is, that could mean making recommendations for travel and what countries should all be doing. and how to ramp up testing and

vaccines. they generally release a statement following such meetings. here is where we stand right now. there are 200 cases across the bay area. 2100 cases here in the u.s. 14,500 cases worldwide. that number is more than triple what it was a month ago. they held a monkeypox vaccination clinic by appointment only. it was busy the whole time. for this afternoon they will also be holding a virtual town hall meeting to raise awareness about the monkeypox virus. the county is also promising more clinics soon. if this is any indication people will definitely show up and they will be ready to roll up their sleeves. >> a friend of mine had monkeypox. he was kind enough to share his experience on facebook and also shared the link to the county vaccination order which is how i found out about about.

>> the public health department in san francisco will also be holding a public hearing to address the outreach effort and campaign for vaccination. there will be links to both meetings on facebook instagram and more. we will be listening to that meeting as well. when it comes to making it in the bay your morning drive can be expensive especially if you don't have an electric car. but not like it was a month ago where gas prices are now down. i noticed this yesterday. this is a five week slide. let's go to the nbc bay area bob o'dell who is live in dublin. the question that a lot of people are hoping for is whether not the gas prices will continue to go down? >> good morning. there is a prediction they could drop another $.35-$.65 per gallon over the next few weeks alone.

here are the latest numbers and the average price for a gallon of gas. sf at 587. san jose 581. if you compare the current prices on the left to the prices from a month ago you can see the gas prices in the bay area have dropped around $.65 a gallon over the past few days. patrick de haan tells us that historically at gas money.com that we are in a fairly rare territory right now to see such a significant decline from such high levels. prices are down over concerns that there could be a recession which would reduce oil consumption and gasoline supplies are up for four out of the last five weeks. he is predicting there could be another drop of $.35-$.65 over the coming weeks but he also points out that the market has been extremely volatile this year.

there are factors that can push the gas prices right backup. we could see the prices going up as if there was a major hurricane that leads to disruptions and further shutdowns. washington post reports to the end of the year, the price of oil could be surging again as much as 50%. december fifth russia will be banned from shipping oil to europe as punishment for the war in ukraine. reporting in dublin, today in the bay. up ahead, here on today in the bay mike no is keeping track of the cheap local gas locations where you can fill up. will stick around because that is coming up for you at 6:08. making it in the bay is no easy task. some people are over it. a recent report shows just how much the exodus is gaining steam.

front 2018 to 2019, 56% of people moved out of california. they were only leaving the state. 20 to 21 jumped to nearly 60% and 7500 california families became texans. joining me to talk more about this is matthew con. i've been looking over the research and in the latest book you're talking about the impact that remote work economy has had on all major cities across the u.s. we know the high cost of housing is an issue and the major factor when you are looking at living in the bay area. what else do you think is really driving people to move to other states? >> in my research i have focused on opportunities and other places but also the push factors. so the california cities have faced call the of life changes. crime is up. public school axis continues to be an issue. the homeless pose issues and

challenges for local quality-of- life in san francisco and los angeles. home prices are so high in california that the average home is selling for one .6 million wall in ohio homes are selling for 200,000. people could trade in their home for a ohio homes. >> and then they can rent them out and have extra income coming in as well. so, what states or areas is california really competing with? i mention texas as a big one? >> there are several areas where the california residents are moving. some are moving to the distant suburbs for those working from home. elon musk moved to texas. in my book i talk about moving to where your family was based where you grew up. i also talked about moving to beautiful places. to the north or like montana or idaho the diversity of

california is such that people are moving to many different locations. for middle-class families who are able to work from home moving to phoenix or las vegas to be able to be in the region but in area were home prices are much lower. the california housing crisis is the focus of this streaming series. investigative teams found answers to fix the housing problem. you can watch the series on nbc bay area.com or on apple tv. taking a live look on san jose this morning. as we get started for this day how will it be shaping up for us weatherwise? our meteorologist has a look at what we can expect? >> it will be a nice weekend ahead. here's a look at some spots they may want to visit. for tomorrow the temperatures are expected to cool off just a bit because of a nearby system they do bump back up into the upper 70s.

one of the criticisms against him during the campaign was that he was too conservative on crime. the president will be in pennsylvania today where we expect him to propose spending 37 additional billion dollars on police departments and crime- fighting. 13 billion would be to hire 100,000 new police officers. there's also money to shift responsibilities for responding to nonviolent crimes particularly mental health issues to public health workers something that to the crowd wanting to defund the police as supported. a bill that would better protect the electoral college in the process of electing the president. president trump tried to convince vice president pence to say no to certifying the vote in congress. this vote would make it clear that they have a ceremonial role and increase the minimum vote to question election results during the certification process.

the editorial board called for a rapid passage of this bill saying that the president attempted to steal the 2020 election is scary enough. that he or another candidate could steal it the next time around remains a terrifying threat. the committee will be holding a primetime hearing tonight. we thought this would be the last one. but the committee says that more witnesses have been coming forward as they see other witnesses testifying. so it may not actually be the last one. we believe there will be outtakes from the president's report saying he'd be controlled to even make this video in cassidy hutchinson testified some cabinet secretaries were considering the amendment if he did not make this video. nbc will carry them gavel to gal the wall from 5:00. benny thompson has covid and he will join remotely.
