talking about how witnesses are threatened and how obstruction of justice could occur. >> reporter: the former president media outlets including nbc news and republicans have called for the complete unsealing. >> the judge giving the department of justice basically cart blanch opportunity to redact however and whatever they want. it is a concern. >> reporter: a trump spokesman tweeting "no redactions should be necessary" and five months on riker's island, five years' probation and fined. the punishment for trump organization cfo allen weisselberg pleading guilty thursday to tax fraud. 15 if el knows including avoiding taxes on lavish perks like mercedes cars, free rent and private school tuition. his plea deal requiring him to testify at the company trial in october but does not compel him to testify against former president trump. >> weisselberg decided that he would rather be a convicted felon than snitch against a former president. >> reporter: president trump

housing has not been made available to those living there. yesterday the governor's office sent a scathing letter to oakland city attorneys saying the city received a nearly $5 million grant for this very issue and it's shirking its responsibility. here's a response from oakland mayor libby schaaf. >> we are working hard with cal trans to utilize that grant in exactly the way that we promised and that is to help house the people at wood street. >> the state asked for a response by the end of the day today and says it's possible that grant money may be pulled. it is another day of protests for mental health care workers that are organizing a march and rally in oakland. we want to give you a live look outside of kaiser's santa clara facility. we're expecting strikers to show up a little bit later this morning, this is day five of an open-end strike involving some 2,000 workers across northern and the central valley of california. organizers plan to gather this

region. this is the worst drought we've had in 1,200 years. some of that is in central california where we do a lot of farming as well as where a lot of our reservoirs are. as we look at our current reservoir levels across the state, these number are extremely low. most of them only about a quarter of capacity, and this is where we're getting that water to basically take care of ourselves and water our lawns and it's extremely low. here we are in august, and we still have to make it past october or november before we really start to see some rain in here, so absolutely every single drop of water helps in that conservation effort. as we take a look at how hot it's going to be in some of those inland areas, that causes those reservoirs to evaporate more quickly, headed for the mid-90s in livermore and san martin, 97 in fairfield and still in the 90s and even upper 90s for santa rosa today. we're looking at still wide-ranging temperatures going into the weekend, so it's all

about the microclimates. mike, where can we find lower gas prices? >> usually friday prices go up because well that's what happens before the demand raises as well for the weekend. today prices 30 and 40 cents cheaper than we did yesterday. cheap gas prices, we'll start in the east bay where gas is $4.69 a gallon at great gas station on round bull boulevard. we'll see what your opinion is. north bay it will be arco on redwood highway, gas there $4.73 in the middle and lapsely driving through the south bay, golden eagle gas on monterey street, gas there $4.57. that's a great price. we're looking at great speeds as well, at the speed limit, that's what we love for a great drive except here the early slowdown starts in antioch into pittsburg. right now it's getting out of antioch, a crash over on the shoulder now, blocking a couple lanes. you're clear by the time you get into your pittsburg and bay point and the rest of contra costa county moves smoothly.

back over to you. thanks, mike. all m telemundo 48 are clearing the shelters. yesterday our newsroom got special visitors. we got to play and kud well some adorable little kittens. >> cute. >> this is our first ever partnership teaming up with the oakland zoo. the free adoption event will be held in the children's zoo area, that part free for anyone who wants to go, it happens sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and then next weekend marcus and i will be out at the berkeley humane. >> always a lot of fun. >> saturday morning. >> what pet will we get this yooer? >> i know, we'll see. an upgrade a lot of iphone users, an edit message, allowing you to pull back messages you didn't want to send. we'll tell you what you'll need first if you hope to use it. >> i think we could have used that at one point in our lives. there is an important security

the time is 5:12. happy friday to you. let's get a look at berkeley with our start in the morning mostly cloudy, as we usually see and upper 50s. it's going to start to clear out around 11:00 to 12:00, and the

rest of the day is very nice and comfortable. it's going to be a great weekend, but some of our inland valleys are still dealing with heat. we'll talk about that in our forecast coming up. reports of a crash of some sort going on near the bay bridge. the bridge itself showing a nice easy expected lighter flow of traffic but we'll see how this is impacting your east shore freeway and we've also got a crash on highway 4 we're still following. good morning, very happy friday to you as well. shares in bed, bath & beyond sank again after that company's, one of the company's biggest investors sold all of its stock. bed, bath & beyond is one of the stocks people get all worked up about it on internet message boards. it goes way up and oftentimes it goes way down. had to look carefully at the board here because bed, bath & beyond has a similar stock is

imsymbol to best buy, which is going to be selling hearing aids. bitcoin has fallen below 22,000. experts usually have an explanation but not this morning. nothing anyone can point to. federal prosecutors looking for people victimized by the defunct company theranos so they can be witness statements at the sentencing of founder elizabeth holmes and her deputy sunny balwani. there's a form to it, i'll put it on a link to my facebook and twitter. apple a zero day exploit, a problem with the iphones, ipads and computers that can allow someone to take over the device, the software foreign intelligence agencies use. even if you're not a spy, you should update your phone and other devices. apple pushed out an update over night. go to settings, then general and then software update. mine's set to update

automatically. you should do the same. it just makes things easier and safer. speaking of phones, we're getting a lot of the spam calls still. my car's warranty is up to date, i already have solar. i don't know about you but a government program called stir shaken was supposed to force phone companies to crack down on spam calls and it worked up 'til a point. bad guys can't spoof incoming numbers anymore. the number that appears on your phone is the bad guy's number. here is an expert on fighting spam calls. >> it's working. there are far fewer spoof calls now than there were. the problem is the bad guys got real phone numbers and stopped spoofing but still made the call. >> because one of your studies showed something like 144 million robo calls a day and that had been up, not down, from previous measurements. >> yeah, it's basically roughly where it was when stir shaken was deployed. it hasn't made a big difference. >> alex is a guest on my show

"press here." >> my dad gets so many. i was on vacation with him and he was just showing me. >> a lot of elderly people, i don't know about your dad, will answer them and talk to them. >> they will. >> because they want to talk to people. i just hate that people are being victimized. >> me grandmother gets them but has a few words for them. i won't say them this morning. she's pretty spicy. scott, you were talking about the update with the iphone. >> do it now. >> you need to protect yourself but the future update will allow you to do new things, like edit and unsend imessages on your iphone. this is a first for something like this on the messaging platform there. apple's new ios 16 software is expected to arrive in september. that means you'll be able to go back, correct a typo, even

delete a message if you send it to the wrong person. how many of us have done that? that person you're sending it to, they will be able to see the updated version of the text or you can even delete it. they'll show that as long as they're also running that ios 16. android users probably not so much. >> in the meantime double check. trending for you this morning, maybe this is a dream come true for you but surely it was a nightmare for a traveler. >> we're talking about lost luggage. have you ever wondered what happens to all the unclaimed luggage? well unclaimed baggage is the name of the nation's only retailer of lost luggage located in alabama, but tomorrow, it is bringing its 50-state road tour to san francisco. the shop's community coordinator says the concept led to some interesting discoveries. >> the live rattlesnake that we found in a duffel bag. years ago it was definitely the most shocking thing we've ever unpacked. we've also found real human

shrunken heads. we have found egyptian artifacts dating back to the times of moses. we have found some incredible things in these bags. >> those items are not for sale this weekend. [ laughter ] >> good to know. >> but there will be a selection of clothing, electronics and accessories. the pop-up shop experience begins at san francisco's sunset mercantile at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. the event also promotes its charitable initiative called love luggage, widow nates suitcases to groups in need. >> huh. >> that love luggage, they decorate them and used for foster kids. i don't know if people know, kids or teens a garbage bag sometimes. >> exactly. >> you're trying to find something of your own in life, your own luggage is a big thing. >> that's great, really nice to see. all right, that's this weekend at 10:00 a.m. in the city. you know this weekend in the city of course it's going to be a nice one out there for them? >> yes.

>> if they have to stand in long lines? >> we have a lot of events happening this weekend and we know you have to get to work this morning, so i'm going to show you what to expect as we check out our live view of san jose, starting out with our marine layer, our morning clouds that will clear out as we head through late morning and our temperatures starting out in the low 60s. we will head for the upper 70s at lunch time, great temperature to have lunch outdoors, only in the low 80s for the middle of the afternoon. if you're looking for something to do, maybe head to redwood city for this evening. it will be in the upper 70s for music on the square, nice and sunny, temperatures cooling down. bring a light jacket in case it gets chilly for you. we also have the a's game that will be happening at 6:40, throughout the evening those temperatures start out in the low 70s, but dip to the mid-60s, and we may see the low clouds rolling back in. it's going to be a comfortable day there, headed for 78 degrees. as you make your way east, it's going to get hotter, so concord

will reach 96 degrees. we'll see a high of 84 in san jose and also you can see how much of a difference it's going to make even with the short drive across the bay area. you're in napa it's 87 but if you go up to santa rosa, it's 97. and we're still looking at temperatures that are going to remain hot inland tomorrow, but on sunday, it starts to cool off all across the bay area, especially near the coastline, with some upper 60s in the forecast. so take a look at our inland highs, reaching into the low 90s today for many spots, and then upper 90s tomorrow as we get a slight uptick in those temperatures, but those outdoor activities on sunday especially for the valleys, it's going to be so much more comfortable and it's a nice start to the week before it heats up, while san francisco will see low 70s for the next couple of days, but overall, much more comfortable than compared to what we'll have in the valleys. mike, you're tracking two crashes in the east bay. >> i am. looking at mostly green sensors. by the bay bridge, quickly in the chp report a crash near

powell popped up there, a little sensor slowing that, crash got quickly filed to like they did with the business for chp, so that likely means no lanes are impacted but there may be a distraction on the shoulder. we'll continue to follow that critical point in the east bay. the bay bridge toll plaza is clear. highway 4 is still slow coming out of antioch, right around summersville we have a crash, there may have been two separate crashes involving a total of four vehicles so this will be a distraction as crews arrived, flashing lights. slower drive to summersville and clear passing toward pittsburg, bay point and the concord area. slower drive should be developing in san jose, we see here north 101 around oakland road. we'll track that. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. 5:21 this morning. coming up next on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> thousands of kids are going back to class, ready to learn, thanks to many of you.

weather you'll experience. in fremont, as you're heading off for work, it's going to be mostly cloudy and we'll see the cloudslinger from 9:00, reaching into the low 80s for a high. dublin will see a high of 88 degrees. you can see the difference a short drive makes, even in the tri-valley going from dublin to livermore, where it's going to reach 94 degrees and it's up to 97 today in fairfield. santa rosa reaching 97 degrees. but we're still in the low 70s in san francisco. we are going to also see the temperatures stay cool in half moon bay and not so bad for san jose, reaching 84 degrees. very comfortable this afternoon. we'll check out that weekend forecast, we'll talk about some events going on. right now, mike, you're looking at two crashes. >> look what jerry in our operations center found, this was the crash near the bay bridge, the berkeley curve jammed up, look how solid this traffic is on the map, it's backed up there, just around powell, all the way to about the

approach to the bay bridge toll plaza. just out of our other camera's aview. that is an issue, working on other updates from chp to see how long it will take to clear. no major injuries reported there. that's one critical backup getting to the bay bridge out of the berkeley and albany area. over here, this is getting out of antioch, another crash, actually two crashes earlier this morning, still have one lane blocked west highway 4 around summersville, causing more backup and then in san jose, we have one more crash i'm tracking north of our camera, 101 at about oakland road in the northbound direction. back to you. >> thanks, mike >> it is 5:32 and developing this morning in watsonville, investigators are already on site after a deadly midair crash. >> this happened yesterday in the middle of the afternoon. one of those planes exploded in a fireball. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live near the airport. are investigators close to getting some answers here? >> reporter: you know, this is still so early in the

investigation, so there are a lot of unknowns. we don't know who was on those planes, nor where they were coming from at this point. if investigators know that, they have not yet told us. what we do know is investigators from the faa and the ntsb are here on location trying to get answers. it was late last night that first responders surrounded one of the wreckage to extricate at least one person from the two planes that crashed into each other that then crashed to the ground as both were attempting to land at the watsonville municipal airport. >> i saw in the blink of an eye another plane there, and they hit each other and it was almost as if the faster plane had gone right through the smaller plane. >> now both planes are cessnas. one had one person on board, as we understand it. the other had two people on board. it's too early to say what went wrong but we do know the

watsonville airport is a small, uncontrolled airport, meaning there is no control tower, so it's up to the pilots themselves to clear for landing. now we've only within able to see one of the two planes here on the ground, but we do know that it landed right up against the neighborhood. in fact 20 feet away from a home, so very close to people and their homes. in watsonville, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> very tragic, thank you, kris. 5:34 for you this morning. a few tense moments in one palo alto neighborhood for someone cleaning out their deceased family member's house, found a possibly live grenade, this is from world war ii, along with military shells. this was yesterday on south court and old palo alto, nearby homes were evacuated. a bomb squad was called in to safely detonate that grenade. moving you forward on covidest itting and your at-home

test kits. may want to take a second look before you throw away expired kits. it is extending the expiration date for ten at-home kits. the fda has a web page listing all authorized at-home test kits to check a test to see if it's still usable, all you need is the lot number that is printed on the box. also developing this morning, bay area research needs your help in learning more about long covid. uc san francisco and the san francisco health department and san mateo county health are trying to work to better understand long-term covid and what even causes it. they're reaching out to people in san mateo and san francisco counties from all backgrounds who have had covid at least three months ago. they especially want to hear from black, latino and pacific islander communities, all of which saw more infections and hospitalizations. the study will last up to four years. let's take a live look outside for you this morning,

downtown san jose, shining bright with the lights in downtown, but how will they shape up for the rest of the day? meteorologist kari hall has a look at what we can expect headed into the weekend. >> it's going to be a great weekend around the bay area and there's a lot going on. this is an event i told you about on tuesday, the environmental justice summit happening in san francisco at the main parade lawn. if you're headed out there, perfect weather. you can find the details on my facebook page as well as our climate in crisis page where we talk about the coloring the green movement. we're going to see temperatures in the upper 60s throughout the middle of the day, and it will cool off as we will head down to the low 60s. now the giants will be on the road, but if you're watching it on tv today, we're watching very closely in denver, because there may be a rain delay due to a chance of thunderstorms. so of course we'll be keeping a close eye on that. here at home, we have the fog india day parade and fair happening tomorrow and sunday in fremont. it's going to be really nice but warm during the middle of the

afternoon. you may want to get there early or later in the evening and you definitely bring the sunscreen for all of that sunshine. if you do have beach plans for the weekend, it's going to be at about 71 for stinson beach and a little bit warmer on saturday but with more fog rolling in on sunday, we'll be cooler, and in santa cruz a cooldown from the mid-70s today to mid-60s on sunday in monterey, in the upper 60s all throughout the weekend. napa valley is going to be a hot destination, warm temperatures, we're up to 88 degrees today and just slightly hotter tomorrow, at least we have the nice, cool mornings. we'll see a mix of sun and clouds and on sunday, we're up to about 80 degrees. for tahoe this weekend, it will reach into the mid 80s. sunshine each and every day. we are now done with the risk of thunderstorms so that's some great news especially if you'll be out on the lake. mike, you're giving us an update on that crash near the been been. >> kari, folks, i need you to look at the screen and i need you to listen if you try to save

time because you got a carpool, a big advantage, not right now. this is the traffic at the berkeley curve getting over to the bay bridge, the flashing lights still there. the hov lane the connector ramp is impacted by the crash blocking that critical lane but the distraction and the fact you can't will have the carpoolers take the lighter route, now jammed in with the rest of the traffic backing you up from powell and building as you get toward the bay bridge, coming out of berkeley, and emeryville and heading over in toward the bay bridge toll plaza. that will impact the east shore freeway back here as well. it will continue to build. chp doesn't really have a time when they have it cleared but they don't have any major injuries reported earlier. that's the less bad news i guess. over here the two crashes that continue to be a distraction getting out of antioch toward summersville. once you pass summersville you're at speed but pittsburg and bay point. in the south bay, we do see that pronounced slowing typical where

they have it north of 680. there was a crash around oakland road blocking one lane and there is the backup here as well. getting back to the map i want to give you a look ahead predicting traffic as well. the a's play tonight. they're home after a long road run, this is a 6:40 game here and as kari said the giants are on the road tonight. back over to you on that. >> speaking of the giants, they may be fading a bit but there's plenty of baseball left. yesterday at oracle park a perfect day for ice cream. on the field, things were less sweet. in the fifth inning jock peterson drops a line drive. arizona wins it 5-0. giants are now 5 1/2 games back in the wild card. tonight they're taking on the rockies in colorado. you can watch the game here on nbc bay area, coverage starts at 5:30. let's turn it around, giants, come on. all right, 5:39 right now. look good, feel good. coming up here on "today in the bay," the act of kindness one

january of last year. as you can imagine, today's journey is deeply personal. >> it's going to feel like the culmination and a real recognition that, rob, you did it. you went from quadriplegia, you felt you never were going to get out of and really believed your life was over to now doing something really amazing. >> reporter: now today i just want to add is a very special, especially to robert, who says that it's 19 years almost to the day since his injury. he's trained for this day for 19 months, and 19 has always been a special number for him, so today is really that culmination that he speaks about and lastly, he says he chose alcatraz island because of the imagery and symbolism, when he was paraplegic. he felt like he was a prisoner in his own body. today he is escaping. we're live in san francisco, ginger conejero saab, "today in the bay."

the mid-60s but overall a really nice evening. but it will still be hot for some of our inland areas. if you're in fairfield, you're still under a heat advisory, that continues through tomorrow, and it also extends over toward the sacramento and san joaquin valley as we are dealing with some of the hot temperatures reaching into the upper 90s there today, and it's going to top out at about 97 degrees. we will see the same in santa rosa, even hotter farther to the north up in ukiah, and we're looking at temperatures for much of the inner bay in the upper 70s and low 80s. look at how hot it's going to be tomorrow with some triple digits starting to appear on the map and widespread 90s for the east bay as well as san jose down to the south county, even in the north bay, we're looking at high temperatures mostly in the 90s but about a ten-degree temperature drop on sunday. this is going to be the better of the two days this weekend to enjoy some time outdoors. take a look at our seven-day forecast. upper 90s today and into the day

back past university now, and building toward golden gate field. that kicked in about doubled in size in the last 15 minutes, so that is a big backup, a lot of folks head down out of richmond and down this area. san pablo avenue is a big surface street through the area but it does have the signals, be careful as you drive out of the area through berkeley and into emeryville. there's also frontage road which is jammed up now so that is not a place to try to fly through the area. that will not be safe to drive. you got to watch it there. everything else is looking smooth. a lighter friday flow overall but traffic held up in antioch because of the crash at summersville, this one in contra costa county. everything past summersville is clear, coming out of antioch is slow and anywhere south of here is moving smoothly. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now for you, plans to build a costco gas station in novato are on hold. the city must conduct a more thorough study on environmental and health impacts of the project. this decision comes more than a year after the city council approved the project.
