about her future. america made a bedrock promise to always stand with taiwan. >> a show of solidarity, house speaker nancy pelosi meeting with taiwan neez lawmakers paking her the highest ranking official to visit taiwan in a quarter century. the controversy is generating in beijing and washington. this is today in the bay streaming live on rok u shgs, apple tv and online. thanks so much more joining us on this wednesday morning. >> i'm kris sanchez good to have her in the house. >> forgot to say my name. here i am. >> i'm laura and here's carrie with the forecast. >> hello my name is -- the word of the day is still humid. >> i knew you would say it. we were hanging on it. >> bad hair days once again. let's get a look at our live

view in walnut creek. starting out with a few clouds but our temperatures have been warm to start out the day. that's what we'll see as we go into the next couple days with the high humidity and also looking at our temperatures in the low 60s to start out the day. as we go into the res of the forecast, the humidity drops but those temperatures do stay high. so i'll have a look at that as well as the rest of the forecast coming up in a few minutes. mike, you have been keeping an eye on a crash that happened in the east bay. >> that's right carrie, that crash has cleared from fremont. no problems or injuries. it ma have just been a disabled vehicle called in. so great news traveling along 880. the sensors have not lit up yet, no delays reported for the overnight construction set to clear by 5:00 a.m. there you go. it just reopened on the sensors as well. good, so the computers are awake as well and so are the folks

coming out of the altamont pass. looks good, thanks mike. a late night decision by the san francisco school board doing little to the outrage over racially charged comments made by one em battled board member. >> all right so today in the bay, ginger conejero saab is live where temperatures are boiling over last night during that special hearing. what did the board decide to do? >> reporter: good morning, laura. after an hours long heated and at times emotional special meeting, sfusd voted to admonish commissioner ann shu. this is essentially a slap on the wrist symbolic despite the

calls for her resignation, she will stay on the board of education. but before this decision came down, the meeting got heated from both supporters of shu and those calling for her resignation. this comes weeks after her comments offended african american and latino communities saying their "unstable family environments and lack of paren tall encouragement to focus on learning were among the biggest challenges in educating black and brown students." she made her first public appearance apologized last night. >> i'm truly sorry for the hurt and distraction i caused everyone. for far too long we have failed to improve student outcomes for most marginalized students especially those black and latin families. i will do everything i can to change that. >> but her apologies have not gone far with the community she offended.

emotional pleas for her resignation continued yesterday. mayor breed who appointed her earlier this year after a contentious recall has also expressed disappointment in comments. >> i don't think that she has a strong belief against these particular communities. i just think that there was unfortunately a challenge around her explaining her feelings based on her knowledge or experience or what have you and it came out the wrong way. my hope is that she does exactly what she says she's going to do. she acknowledges it, learns from it and hopefully grow from it. so that we can continue to move ob and do what she and others are there to do. >> mayor breed continued on to say that this board has been too much of a distraction lately and the focus needs to shift back to the students and communities it serves so moving forward an shu stays on the board of education

but her position will be tested soon enough. she's up for a boat in the november ballot as well as other commissioners appointed by breed. live in san francisco, ginger conejero saab, live on today in the bay. >> thank you, ginger. we'll see what happens in the fall oofrnlt another child in california has been infected with monkeypox. the health department in long beach says preliminary tests suggest the child was infected but they're not releasing the age or how that child contracted the virus. this is the second case of a minor getting monkeypox. as cases rise, san francisco is set to get nearly 11,000 additional vaccine doses. that's more than double past shipments. part of a fearly 50,000 doses that are on the way to california. the state now has over 1100 cases. san francisco, nearly 400. developing now in washington, senate lawmakers are getting ready to debate new help

the chinese claimed but self-ruled island. >> american's determination to preserve democracy here in taiwan and around the world remains ironclad. we are grateful to the partnership of the people of taiwan in this mission. >> the speaker's unannounced visit confirms as she arrives with a show of support from an unlikely source. >> i think it's important that the speaker did go to taiwan. i don't think the chinese get to tell members of congress where they can go. >> beijing's response a squadron of fighter jets buzzing the strait where china is conducting intense live fire military exercises. taiwan officials also say government offices have been hit by cyber attacks just a week after chinese president during a phone call with president biden warned those who play with fire

over taiwan will perish from it. the white house initially opposed to the trip now says the president respects nancy pelosi 's decision while pushing back on the chinese show of force. >> we are prepared to manage what beijing chooses to do. at the same time, we're not engaging in a saber rally. >> it may take a saber to cut through the growing tension between the two superpowers. yeah, look taiwan's armed forces are at a stepped up alert level right now. four u.s. warships are in the waters east of taiwan on what the navy is calling routine deployments. >> thank you very much, jay. appreciate it. the city of oakland is getting a new financial boost to help curve gun violence. its department of violence prevention receiving a 600-0000 grant over the next three years. among other things leading to a new team of family coaches and

days. so expect the same today. get the camera ready, it's still dark out there as you're getting ready to head out the door. san francisco at 60 degrees. we'll see partly cloudy skies throughout the day. the sun just peeking out from behind the clouds every now and then. here the temperatures stay cool but the inland areas are heating up today. take a look at the range in temperatures once again. it all depends on where you are as to what kind of weather you're experiencing and will continue to see for today. so we'll continue to watch that. mike has a look at where we could find lower gas prices. >> let's take a look at prices around the bay area. all under $5 today. i know a few months agatha wouldn't have been a big deal but it's huge. along magnolia avenue, gas is $4.89 a gallon. in san jose, the gas and shop on mckee road has gas for $4.91 a gallon and mash gas and food on

bryant way, for $4.99 a gallon so get some at that price. we are familiar with the 65 miles per hour speed limit and most roadways are abiding by that and you're able to go there accept for out at the altamont. disabled vehicle around greenville as your commute direction will track that. we'll show you the build, coming up. back to you. >> thank you. moving on from the great resignation, coming up on today in the bay, the reason more millennials and gen z are ditching 9:00 to 5:00 jobs and where they're going. we'll continue mike's coverage of gas prices and ice cold beverages from starbucks. two sisters making serious moves with their athletic skills. the inspiring story of their history makin brand deagl

ask your veterinarian for apoquel. next to you, apoquel is a dog's best friend. . we'll feel that humidity continue today. it's warm, temperatures at 66 degrees reaching into the low 60s today. so it's baufkly like yesterday. we'll talk about it and if there's changes ahead in the forecast, coming up. we're looking at 580 into dublin. traffic moving smoothly like we expect but further back coming out of the altamont pass, the vehicle ran out of gas. we'll see the impact it's having

on traffic coming out. good morning, very happy wednesday to you. ebay in san jose reporting its profits after the closing bell today. starbucks opened its books yesterday with record profits. the ceo credits gen z customers who order custom cold drinks like cold brew with lemonade and take pictures of them. that turned l off workers. it's the shoe of choice for people in tech despite the fact they don't sell half sizes. they will lay off 20 people. robinhood on the peninsula will lay off more than that. the ceo says a full quarter of the staff has to go. it appears the stock market is down and fewer people are interested in trading stocks on their phone. we're hearing a lot about lay offs but the labor department

says there's still 10.700-0000 job openings in america down from the previous month but still means we got a lot of wiggle room. some companies with job openings may just cancel the job without having to lay people off. opec meeting today to discuss oil production levels as we enter the 49th straight day in a row of falling gas prices. gas prices are still high. about $5 as mike was showing you but if you hear someone complaining gas prices are going up and up, no they're not. and chris and laura, you have seen this cooler on wheels before that delivers food on college campuses but may soon expand to your own neighborhood. one of the major funders of this project is goodyear, you know the tire maker as part of their venture capital arm. they figure invest in robots that need fires. i spoke to the head investor. >> way back in high school i was that kid who really liked math. and discovered chemistry.

>> have a plan. if you want to exit, exit but make sure you have a nest egg in place and a plan in place so that you can survive and really go for it. >> the story originally appeared on nbc-lx. you can watch the full story and others like it on nbclx.com. a lot of great longer format stories there. >> sometimes there's a different way of telling the story that makes it go home. drives it home. trending this morning, two soccer playing southern california sisters are making history. even far away from the playing field. >> for sure. the first high school athletes to ever get a name image and likeness deal. they're also headed to stanford when they graduate. nike signed them to the deal in may. they still attend harvard west lake high school outside los

angeles but they told the today show their deal reflects the progress of women in pro-sports for which they have tremendous gratitude. >> maybe 30 years ago this wouldn't happen for a woman especially so it's insane how far we have come. >> both sisters have already played with the u.s. national team and they're both planning to play at stanford when they graduate high school. my thing is i can't believe it didn't happen for our family. look at my little daughter's mad skills. look at that. >> that would be a first at stanford if we saw that. >> so now you know why my kids are swimmers and not soccer players. >> kind of like fuse ball. >> that little girl does it her way. >> look at that ponytail. i miss her. >> she's around still. >> yeah, of course she's 13. i would say miss you little.

and she's like i'm still here. yeah but. they're heading back to school. >> they sure are. kids start on monday. >> so fast. >> we're wednesday next week. >> goodness so i guess we better get shopping this weekend. >> all right, well it's going to be hot out there. >> are you buying sweaters or shorts? >> definitely shorts right now. crayons, definitely. we're starting out with temperatures that feel warm, even if you're about to step out the door. we're in the low 60s in hayward. it's 70 in vacville. the north bay waking up and heading out to upper 50s. san jose right now at 62 degrees. just feels so humid. that makes it feel warmer but it does give us an interesting looking sky so we have seen the beautiful cloud cover throughout the day. these high level clouds coming in. but then when you step out there instantly you like break out into a sweat. here's the reason why. there's a tropical system out there. this was hurricane frank continuing to weaken and this

will have a direct impact on the bay area but we're feeling mugginess coming off that and the monsoon moisture coming from the southwest. all of this green shows the surge in humidity. there will be a period of drier weather but then the monsoon comes back so the humidity only drops slightly over the next couple days. our temperatures are still hot for the valley and mild for the coastline. so if you're in san francisco, you're like what heat? it's in the upper 60s, low 70s but as you make your way towards dublin, mid 80s and upper 90s for fairfield today. it's going to be hot once again tomorrow with just slightly lower humidity. san matt mateo reaching 77. looking across the rest of the country, calling your friends and family it's hot where they are too everywhere dealing with

temperatures in the 90s and near 100 degrees. that's a strong area of high pressure continuing to drive that monsoon moisture into the bay area and so we're seeing also the humidity dropping just slightly going into the weekend. we do still have a mix of sun and clouds so temperatures inland reaching into the low 90s today. upper 80s for the weekend. not a huge change. and san francisco also seeing more of the consistent weather we have seen recently. mike, you were siing somebody ran out of gas? >> yeah, got to plan for a longer drive than you have on your map. sometimes things get crowded. we know it's going to be slow out of the altamont pass west 580. someone ran out of gas around greenville and that's why they're over there in the center divide. i was concerned about additional slowing but hasn't built up much. they should be off the shoulder soon as crews are in the area. still at speed your minimum time closer to 15 minutes out of the area around marsh creek.

a smooth drive through contra costa county and heading through the maze to the bay bridge. coming up next on today in the bay, nbc bay area response. >> first, fishy charges on her credit card then locked out of her account for weeks. i'monsumer investigator c c

jose says someone used her amazon account to buy thoands of dollars in gift cards. she told her bank and amazon about the fraud. but then amazon locked her out of her account. kathy says she called multiple times for help but got nowhere so she asked us to step in and we contacted amazon. a few days later kathy could log into her account. amazon said it secured her account and restored her access and sent us a statement that didn't really explain the delay but said, "we encourage customers to report suspected scams so we can protect their accounts." they went on to say they would refer those bad actors to law enforcement to help keep consumers safe. kathy's quick action got the ball rolling. her bank reversed all but one charge. you can and should take one extra step. enable alerts and get those text messages or notifications on your phone every time your credit card is used.

we will continue to follow this story for you and bring you updates as we get them. when it comes to making it in the bay, filling up your gas tank is hdly the only thing tting tougher to afford. take your morning cup of coffee for for example. live in dublin this morning hopefully fully caffeinated at this poit, bob. you're talking about relief that may be on the way for americans? >> reporter: we are. i gave up caffeine a few months ago and still feel good so some advice for early morning people. >> can't do that, bob. >> reporr: so yes, to answer your question, if congress passes the inflation reduction act according to a new report by nonprofit group called rewiring america, if congress does this, the average american can save $1,800 a year when it comes to their energy bills. how? well, the inflation reduction act would encourage people to

buy more appliances and vehicles that are more energy efficient. if passed, the legislation would establish more than 100 different programs that would doll out $369 billion in tax incentives to reduce the impact of climate change. one program would give low income house-holds rebates of up to $8,000 for a new heat pump, $840 for a new electric stove or drier and $225 to update the old electrical wiring in their home. democrats hope to pass the inflation reduction act next week amid the opposition from republicans. there are other provisions in the bills designed to reduce inflation which is something we all have felt whether in the grocery store or behind me, at the gas pump or at your local coffee shop. case in point, cbsnbc recently visited alamo square cafe in san francisco where its owner hiked

prices 15% for customers this past january to help cover the 20% increase in costs he's paying coffee vendors. >> if i put myself in their shoes i'm kind of going through the same sentiments when you go out and shop and i'm noticing all the price increases in everything else so i feel their pain. >> according to the npd group the averagerice for a regular cup of coffee was $03 between january and may of this year an increase of 9% fm the same time last year. specialty coffee, $5.23 increase of 6%. reporting live in here dublin, bob riddel, live in the bay. new reality for many first time home buyers trying to make it in the bay. the blazing hot housing market suddenly cooling in a number of

places and the demand slowing in large part because of rising interest rates and because it costs more money to borrow money. the impact is being felt not only by buyers but also by people who are looking to sell their homes. despite all of that uncertainty, listing your home if you need to sell not necessarily a bad deal. >> believe it or not, zillow data shows that most homes now are selling above list price which does suggest bidding wars are still alive and well in the market. with that said, there are fewer of them. >> later on the today show, what both sellers and potential buyers need to know about the current market and where experts believe we're all headed. that's at 7:00 right after today in the bay. the sports world is remembering an absolute legendary broadcaster this morning, vin scully. he's died and a live look outside dodger stadium where

there's a growing memorial. the news came down last night when the dodgers were playing the giants at oracle. he served as the voice for an astounding 67 years. he aunderstand noed 25 world series games during his career. a's fans will always remember his call on kirk gibson's world series winning homerun. nineer fans have fond memories of him as well. he did the catch, so famous in january of 1982. >> montana looking, looking and throwing in the end zone and he caught it. it's a mad house at candle stick. >> the memories along with the honors and sports casters in 2000 names him sports caster of i hall of fame. the dodgers say he died yesterday at his southern

california home. he was 94 years old. as soon as news of his death was announced, california sports teams, athletes and politicians took to twitter to post tributes. governor newsome calling him a legend saying he touched so many over decades. we'll continue to highlight the work of vin scully on air and online. head to nbcbayarea.com where you can find the link. too early to know if much needed rain is giving a boost to firefighters battling a massive wildfire near the oregon border. individual yes of the rain which was said to be falling near the wildfire command post. there were concerns about lightning strikes. as of last night, still no containment on the fire with 57,000 acres burned earlier yesterday we did learn of two new deaths related to the fire. so far, no count on the number

of homes lost but at least 100 buildings are destroyed. containment is growing on the wildfire burning on yosemite's border. nearly 20,000 acres but now it's 80% contained with firefighters making head way over night. much closer to home, let's take a live look outside. it's nice. makes you anticipate the weekend. it's only wednesday. carrie is tracking our forecast. >> making it closer to the weekend but we are watching what's going on with the rain and lightning and hail even up there. >> what a weird start to august. >> sometimes we do get surges of monsoon moisture and the remnants of tropical systems coming in. so i want to show you the loop of the radar over the past 18 hours. up around the mckinney fire you can see when it lit up

yesterday, all of that purple showed hail but the good news is we didn't see any lightning in the area. then here we're looking at rn getting closer. maybe a couple of spotty sprinkles the and the remnants of hurricane frank is reaching our way. the cool pacific water will continue to weaken that storm but we're just getting the clouds and moisture coming off that. that's the reason why i feels so humid out there. feels like we are in a tropical spot and today our temperatures reaching into the low 90s in morgan hill. san francisco will be in the upper 60s so we'll continue to track that. like you were seeing unusual slowing in san jose the lights startering clustering northbound 101. we expect aud build in volume but not this much. you can see here very closely gathering the northbound headlights and looking at the map, the general map of silicon valley, we see extra slowing around our camera. turns out a crash north of there

around alan rock maybe closer to oakland road. we'll get more details as chp arrives on scene. this is the focus where we see a back up but even more north of this crash. that's right now we're going to see more unexpected slowing. you can expect it over here. at papal the quakes have a game that kicks off tonight. the park opens at 5:30 so there may be slowing along cullman on the south side of the airport thereor this evening. oracle park there's also a game up here. the giants continue their series against the dodgers as we remember the loss of vin scully we hope the giants win tonight. after the game there may be folks leaving the area getting on 8th on the eastbound 80 that onramp still closed. this say project all week so keep that in mind. the bridge itself will be unaffected. thank you, mike much needed relief for some veterans coming up next on today in the bay.

. the u.s. military would get involved if china were to invade taiwan. the speaker as you know made history yesterday as the first high ranking official to travel to taiwan in decades.

we have been supplying the military with american arms for years. it's actually part of our law put in place in the late 70s and the senate committee today will debate sending more weapons. >> our delegation came here to send an unequivocal message, america stands with taiwan. >> china is angry about the visit and plans aggressive military exercises in response. but nancy pelosi's trip is supported by many in washington from both parties. president biden plans to sign yet another executive order today supporting abortion rights. and offering financial help through medicaid to help women cross state lines to get abortions. that will almost certainly be challenged in court. in can cancer, voters there overwhelmingly voted to support abortion rights voting to keep the right to an abortion as part of the state's constitution. this is the first vote over abortion since the supreme court

ended a woman's federal right to access. the republican primary in arizona for governor still too close to call. former news anchor keri lake a trump supporter who says she doesn't recognize joe biden as president. in michigan a very traditional republicanonservative congressmen, peter myer lost his primary. some republicans doesn't like him because he voted to impeach president trump in the second impeachment. democrats were afraid of him. he's an iraq war vet after his service went to afghanistan to help in a charity and he's very wealthy and tough opponent or would have been in the primaries so democrats actually helped fund his republican challenger, john gibbs. a relative unknown with the history of tweeting qanon theories. myer in his concession last night said "i' proud to remain

true to principles even when doing so came at political costs". this is just the primary talking about it on twitter, you can find me at scott mc grew. >> thank you scott. a follow up this morning and maybe not a story of reincarnation but maybe back from the dead. that rare court flower that scientists thought would never bloom, it finally did over the last 36 hours. we sent bob down there and it was expected to have an odor you just can't unsmell. if you're interested in getting a whiff for is o all, a recent
