pushing out additional videos calling for attacks against americans. it suggests to me that he was looking to restart his terrorist activities. >> the mission to take out ayman al-zawahiri included weeks of surveillance and a precision hit with no civilian casualties, all carried out entirely from the air . almost one year after the president's controversial decision to pull u.s. forces out of afghanistan. >> i made a promise to the american people that we would continue to conduct effective counterterrorism operations in afghanistan and beyond. we have done just that. >> president biden stressing that the counterterrorism operations will continue to be a top priority of his administration. and in a written statement the taliban led government in afghanistan, quote strongly condemns the attack, calling it a violation of international principles. marcus. >> a lot going on, jay gray and washington, thank you.

around yreka. we see some of the showers that do continue in the area, even this morning, as we are getting high humidity, which slows the spread of the fire, good news here, and once again we've not seen any lightning strikes. i want to show you our temperatures and what we expect throughout today, starting out in the mid-to-upper 60s, headed for the mid-80s today and it will not be as windy, but we know around the fire can create its own weather conditions in the area. we are still getting the surge of monsoon moisture today with the remnants of a tropical system as well, we will continue to see the moisture streaming and stay but will be drying out tomorrow, we'll talk about what it means for the bay area coming up, mike where can we find lower gas prices? >> checking around the bay and within, around mill valley we found gas for $4.89, which is below five dollars, we like that. a little more along the coast, san francisco we found gas for five dollars 09 so a shade over the five dollar mark, and in richmond, the east bay out of harbor way, again below five

the divisions most similar to salesforce. now when we talk about layoffs, keep in mind there are more than 11 million open jobs in the united states. jobs without workers we will get the latest job opening numbers this morning at 7:00. and then the big jobs report, the number jobs created on top of that on friday. so this is why it is hard to say whether america is in or approaching a recession. yes we have seen two declining quarters, but we have historic employment and wages are up. stock markets all over the world a little unnerved by nancy pelosi's planned arrival in taiwan. these are pictures of the speaker earlier in her asian tour. we understand there are activities planned for this evening on the island estate, right now it is 8:16 p.m., and china is very angry that a top u.s. official is planning a trip, but taiwan is a democratic ally of the united states, and back at home amazon has released its latest climate

report and assess carbon emissions from its delivery trucks are up compared to previous reports, but it is delivering so much more because we're ordering so much more because of the pandemic. emissions up 18% in 2021, 71.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. and the amount of goods per delivered per carbon ton is up, meaning amazon is getting better and better at getting leaner as they moved to electric trucks. and just into the newsroom, uber reporting profits, and more likely losses but their earning money which is a good sign, because they had a golden age where you could get one and half a second. this cut day and age it is tough. >> has changed because of the pandemic. >> and costing more. >> yes it is. >> today is the first tuesday in august, and that means that tonight is the return of national night out. first responders across the bay area, and the nation, hold community building events this

humidity and making it feel muggy and giving us a chance to have rain into today. we will start to see those spotty showers in the north day around 5:00, right in time for the evening commute, and then we will see it picking up in intensity with more scattered showers as we head closer to sunset. i expeis evening, especially if the rain is further in the distance from you. and then let's look at the temperatures, it will make you break out into a sweat quickly very much today, especially in concord where the high temperatures will reach 93 and we will see upper 70s for oakland, upper 60s around san francisco and it mostly mid-to- upper 80s in the north bay. tomorrow it is basically the same but unity will drop it will not be as muggy. values heat up on thursday, when the hotter days of the week, and we compare that's what the rest of the country is feeling, which has been pretty

hot with a heat extending all the way up to bismarck north dakota where it will be 90 for today, and highs in the 80s and 90s for much of the country. we are not only with dealing with high heat. take a look at ukiah, california. even though it will be warm and humid today, temperatures go up even more the next few days, and over the weekend we will be closer to 100, rather than low to mid 90s we've seen the past few days. our seven-day inlet forecast shows that for most of us we will be in the upper 80s, and even hotter the next few days, and the weekend much of the same with the lower humidities, sunshine in san francisco and continue to see highs in the upper 60s. mike, it looks like a calm drive through the east bay. spent yeah exactly, from the east bay towards san francisco, look at the beautiful view and we see all the city lights right now, a smooth drive with taillights and headlights coming back towards the east bay. no major issues across the

golden gate bridge. the earlier incident still on the chp blotter but i don't think it is a problem traveling north, have not seen any flowing into sausalito from the golden gate. a little glitch showing up earlier, highway 37. it is 5:21 and we will see the build off of highway 4 as well. over around oakland, not sure which direction approaching the split with the merge with 580, and in the tri-valley, a little smooth but a little blip at west 580 on the dublin interchange and i'm sure it will sort itself out, but i still have my eyes on it. next on today in the bay, nbc bay area responds. >> if you have had a move go south you can speak up and try to get your

more people move during the summer than any other time of the year and too often it goes poorly. >> if you ever have problem with him over there is a method to get those wheels turning to clear it up. consumer investigator, chris chmura , shows us how. >> reporter: we get moving complaints all the time. if you do not get what you paid for, you don't just have to art feds say federal regulations require that your mover have an process to handle arguments. look in your contract. lisa tell me that you have a

man, a woman, a six-year-old girl, all taken to the hospital and at last report a stable condition. oakland police chief said many people open fire with handguns and he does not believe the shots were directed at the kids on the field. >> it makes no sense children are out here playing football, and family and friends are watching these games, and people would come armed with guns. and not just one, several people had firearms in this crowd. that is really unfortunate that they put the lives of young people and families in danger because of their selfishness, and a desire to bring these dangerous weapons into an area with children. 500 people. this could have been a horrible tragedy. it's already bad enough but it could have been much worse. >> police say they are looking through video to try to single out the suspects. there's a $15,000 reward for any information that can lead police to making an arrest and
