portions of the highly sensitive document. >> the department of justice doesn't want it out because it will undermine their investigation. >> reporter: the government argued unsealing could compromise witnesses and have national security implications. >> if you didn't know it was a former president, you would have thought it was a mob boss, 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 felonies, including avoiding taxes on lavish perks like mercedes cars, free rent and private school tuition.

response from the city of oakland over its handling of a large homeless encampment. up to 300 people are living in the wood street camp located on cal trans property under a stretch of 880 in oakland. critics point out it's been the scene of several recent fires and a judge recently held up the plan to clear it out because 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.

monitor yesterday. it's not looking very good. >> it's not looking good not only for california but all across the west. this is the worst drought we've had in 1,200 years. it's been going on for 23 years with some of the dark reds the exceptional drought, the highest level over the central valley with we have our agricultural landnd also where some of our largest reservoirs are. as we look at some of the water levels,e look at lake mcclure, a lot of the reservoirs are only a quarter of the capacity or just slightly higher. only a couple are at about half of its capacity. so every single drop counts and we've been really stressing water conservation, because here we are in the middle of august. our water season doesn't get going until about october, so until then, we may not see a drop of rain that could really help out and give us some relief from the extremely dry conditions. we'll talk about the heat in our forecast,hat's coming up. mike's been following some breaking news. >> this is the berkeley curve,

folks, listen up. if the bay bridge is on your drive and you're coming out of berkeley, emeryville, richmond, we have this crash blocking your hov lane but it's a deadly crash so there's an investigation and we have to wait for the coroner to arrive on scene and do their part as well. these flares here are additional distraction, one lane blocked out of emeryville and off of the berkeley curve, jamming up traffic into the berkeley curve starting back here, getting worse as you saw happen on the sensors from golden gate field. from highway 4 through all of this, the jam mostly here, it's over a half hour now and that's really slow and unexpectedly long as far as the drive for friday. now most of the rest of the east bay is moving smoothly. highway 4 we have a crash that's clearing out of antioch. pittsburg and bay point seeing more traffic but the big other unexpected slow drive is for highway 84, the crash i found out is going counter commute but you know vallecitos roadway, we have a distraction because all the traffic is visible so crash

eastbound distracts the westbound commute. use the dublin interchange, it's a longer but smoother and quicker drive. all month long nbc bay area and telemundo 48 are holding event for our clear the shelters adoption campaign. yesterday we had some fun in the newsroom with little special visitors. we got to cuddle with adorable pets. my kids think we have the best job in the world. at least we did yesterday and we're excited about our first partnership 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 weened on the following saturday, marcus and i will be out at the berkeley humane for our live show in the morning helping to promote the adoption of all the great animals. >> we'll see some amazing pets i'm sure.

investors sold all of its stock. bed, bath & beyond is one of the mean stocks where people get all worked up about it on the internet message boards. it goes way up and oftentimes it goes way down. i had to look carefully at the board here because bed, bath & beyond has a stock similar to best buy. best buy is going to start selling hearing aids at its stores after the fda cleared the sale of hearing aids over the counter. moments ago the parent company of regal cinemas is preparing to file for bankruptcy. this according to the "wall street journal." that doesn't mean cinemas are going to close necessarily, though the company may cut back as it restructures debt. regal has theaters in san francisco, berkeley and oakland. central prosecutors looking for people who were victimized by the now defunct company theranos so they can make 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 warning of what they call 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 overnight. plug your phone into power, 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. i assure you my car's warranty is up to date. i already have solar. a new 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. >> oh, man. alex leachy, the ceo of umail one of my guests on "press here" sunday mornings at 9:00. rivian is discountingity cheapest version of the electric pickup due to low demand that raises the starting price by more than $5,000 in an email, it says customers who preordered the explore package at $67,000 will have to upgrade to the $73,000 adventure package. that just cancel the free order

all together. customers have until september 1st to decide. >> the lady looked like she was going to lose control of that truck. that's the promotional video. this is also trending this morning, maybe your dream come true here when it comes to another worst nightmare. >> when you lose your luggage, but have you ever wondered what happens to all the unclaimed bag age out there? unclaimed baggage is 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. >> a real shrunken head? the items are not for sale this weekend. there will be a selection of clothing, electronics and accessories. the pop-up shop begins at san francisco's sunset mercantile at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. the event promotes charitable initiative calls love luggage widow nates suitcases to groups in need. that mean the same item? >> rings and everything. >> if they got live rattlesnakes and shrunken heads, they could have multiple items. >> how sad for the people who lost the items. >> or any of the ones that she mentioned, would you not go back, would you not notice? >> look for it, i go's. >> what was in there? a shaker. >> sounds like a rattle. >> they're out because it's hot out there. >> it has been hot for the inland areas. san francisco still keeping the nice and mild weather. let's take a live look outside in walnut creek, where we're

waking up to sunshine. this is where those temperatures heat up again, but take a look at the view along the coastline, where san francisco you can't see the golden gate bridge. we are going to see this fog rolling by for the next few hours and our temperatures do stay cool, as a result we're in the upper 50s and watching out for that drizzle and that hard drive that you have coming out of the north bay, with low visibility. we're going to see some peks of sunshine but nice and cool. looking for a cool event to check out this evening here's music on the square redwood city, upper 70s at the start where the band starts to play but as the evening goes along, you want to have a jacket because the temperatures will be cooling off. the heat has shifted inland, and it does still include solano county, where we are under a heat advisory until 7:00 tomorrow evening. that extends into the central valley as well. traveling around the bay area, we are still going to see the hot temperatures but you can see how much it cools down with a

short drive. dublin in the upper 80s. upper 70s for hayward. low 70s for san mateo, and upper 60s for half moon bay. as we make weekend plans, expect more of the same with some of those hotter valley temperatures topping over 100 degrees, but then as you head toward the inner bay, oakland will reach into the low 80s and san francisco will be in the low 70s for a high. on sunday, we all get a nice cooldown. take a look at santa rosa reaching 85 and san jose up to 81 degrees with some upper 80s inland, but next week that heat just cranks right back up. we see purple on the map, that is some intense heat and some of that's going to start to edge its way into california, so we'll be watching that. here's a look at your seven-day forecast. we have some 90s for today, upper 90s tomorrow, and then take a look at that dip on sunday, that's our day to enjoy more time out at the park, and then we'll see temperatures in the low 90s for the middle of next week while san francisco stays in the upper 60s and low

70s. mike, you have the big delays at the berkeley curve. >> kari, the big delays now there because of a deadly crash. we don't want to forget about that. we're concerned about all parties involved here, though, and we also know that the alameda county coroner who is en route to the scene has to get through the backup. now look, the flares here are blocking that hov lane. the crossover is blocked and so do mind it, but all the closures in will be taking that closed area possibly using it as an alternate route to get to the scene faster so they can do their report and then hopefully clear those lanes. we're looking at a huge backup but we'll last until close to 7:00, if not beyond. we'll give you the updates as chp continues to tell us about the huge backup that continues from university from golden gate field in fact to the bay bridge. the other issue is highway 84 eastbound, there's a crash, westbound the commute is backed up. the dublin interchange is a much better drive than highway 84. everything else is a much better drive than either of those two spots. back to you. >> thank you, mike. 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. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. i'll show you how we've been supporting our schools and how you still can, next.

>> good morning. today part of our campaign is reaching a heartwarming finish line. we'll be out and about where students are picking up their backpacks, like this event we previously attended in san jose.

this year, our partners at the nonprofit family giving tree set a goal of handing out 26,000 backpacks. we just got word, they will meet that mark and every single backpack matters. >> it's one less worry for the parents or the guardians of these students who may not be able to prioritize paying for this type of stuff, sending their kids to school with brand new backpacks and supplies, but for the kids, it's just, it's like christmas. >> these scenes are playing out at 150 schools around the bay area. you, our nbc bay area and telemundo 48 viewers, pitched in to make some of the smiles possible. you gave about $15,000 this summer. thank you. you can still contribute online. just snap this qr code to load our website. you can either pack a backpack virtually or make a cash donation. either way, we're grateful for your help supporting our schools.

i'll be back on our midday newscast at 11:00 live from a backpack giveaway in concord. i'll see you then. >> i love the kids posing with the backpacks. >> pretty cool. next on "today in the bay" the top stories we're following including breaking news on the bay bridge. mike tracking the traffic backup. i'm kris sanchez in watsonville, where federal investigators are on scene trying to find out why two planes collided, killing several people. i'll tell you what we know this morning.

people died. it's sad. it's right next to my house. it could have hit any house. >> right now at 6:30, two planes crash in the sky just south of the bay area. at least two people are killed. what happened in the air and the details we're learning about the victims this morning. why you may not want to throw out the expired covid tests. you're watching "today in the bay" live on roku, amazon fire, apple tv, and online. covered. thanks for joining us on this friday, i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. let's look at the san francisco bay. nearly two decades after becoming paralyzed a former quadriplegic will attempt to swim across the water. his incredible tale of recovery and how he hopes to inspire

others coming up in just a little bit. see how foggy it is out there. >> absolutely. right now mike is watching some breaking news for us, the bay bridge major backup there, the deadly accident. >> this is causing a huge problem because friday folks expect a lighter volume of traffic and an easier drive adding to the backup, the compounding traffic flow here atop of the screen, the crash is seen there flashing lights just above the arrow, we're still waiting for the alameda county coroner to arrive on the scene to clear this crash. the flares on the left side blocking the lane and distraction. the backup on the east shore freeway is 35 minutes and all the backup is on the map from golden gate field in carlson down to the bay bridge toll plaza, over there as we look at the crash clearing. now the rest of the bay is indeed mostly friday light except for this one other crash in highway 84 as you're traveling between sunol and livermore. that's a big backup. folks are better off using that dublin interchange but we still have school today as well. >> and it's the second or third day, depending on when they started for a lot of kids in san

jose and we are waking up to clouds, probably still excited it's friday and we'll see the temperatures in the low 60s to start and at pickup time, it's going to be so nice and comfortable with some low 80s in the forecast, that pickup time, take a look at all of our microclimates today from mid-60s at half moon bay to upper 90s in santa rosa and we'll see those temperatures kind of in between depending on your microclimates, so we'll talk about all of the events going on this weekend, coming up in a few minutes. >> we'll check back with you, kari. 6:32. developing this morning in watsonville, investigators continue to be at the site after a deadly midair crash. >> this happened yesterday in the middle of the afternoon. one of those planes exploding in a fireball. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live for us near the airport, and kris, what with b investigators, are they any closer to getting answers why this happened and how? >> reporter: well, it is still very early in this investigation, and while you can see that it is foggy, where we

are here at the watsonville municipal airport right now, when this happened about 3:00 yesterday afternoon, it was all sunshine and blue skies. a lot of unknowns right now. we don't know who the people were on board those two planes, nor where they were coming from, but central investigators both from the faa and from the ntsb are out here trying to get answers. i want to show you some surveillance video in a moment, but first responders did surround the wreckage of one of those planes to try to extricate at least one victim, according to the faa, one person was on board a single engine cessna 152 and two people on board a twin engine cessna 340. the two planes crashed into each other, and then to the ground, as they were attempting to land here at the airport. here's what it looked like from a nearby surveillance camera. you can see smoke and some flames there in the corner. one witness told us what it looked like from the ground, too.

>> i saw in the blink of an eye another plane in the air and they hit each other, and it was almost as if the faster plane had gone right through the smaller plane. >> reporter: now it is too early to say what went wrong but we do know that the watsonville airport is a small, uncontrolled airport, meaning there is no control tower to direct the pilots so it's up to the pilots themselves to clear for landing. there is a neighborhood very close to where one of those planes went down, but fortunately no one was hurt on the ground, but again, at least two people died in this crash. perhaps one more. in watsonville, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> all right, kris, our thoughts are with those families. thank you. 6:34 right now. and a few tense moments in one palo alto neighborhood.

they were called in to safely detonate the grenade. new covid testing and the at-home test kits. you may want to take a second look before you throw any expired kits away. to check if the test kit you have are still usable, all you need is the lot number that is printed on the box. also developing this morning, bay area researchers need your help in learning more about long covid. uc san francisco, the san francisco health department and san mateo county health are trying to work to better understand the impact and what causes it. they're reaching out to people who live 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. 6:35 right now. let's take a live look out in san francisco there. you can see the fog sticking around there, so it will be cooler. weekend forecast, how is that shaping up for us, kari? you've been monitoring that. how is it looking for us? >> a great weekend and the temperatures are going to be a huge difference from where you are inland to the coastline. let's talk about an event happening in san francisco, environment justice summit. i talked about this on tuesday, posted it on my facebook page. you can check it out hip-hopforchange.org. it's going to be a perfect day, upper 60s, a few clouds moving by and we'll also see those temperatures nice and comfortable, but if you're watching the game this evening, our giants are on the road, but there may be a rain delay. there's a chance of thunderstorms in denver, so we'll be watching our tvs later to see what's going on with

that. here at home we have the fog india day parade and fair in fremont. this is happening saturday and sunday, and tomorrow we'll see our temperatures reaching into the low 80s. it's going to be bright and sunny. stay hydrated and make sure you wear that sunscreen. if you plan to go to the beach this weekend, you also want to wear the sunscreen, too, in stinson beach it's going to be up to about 70 degrees, where we see some of our warmer coastal temperatures for santa cruz as well reaching 77 degrees and it does get cooler on sunday as more fog moves in, and it's also going to be quite breezy. if your weekend plans take you to napa county, it's going to be really nice, just heating up during the middle of the day. we're in the upper 80s for today and 90 degrees tomorrow but sunday will be the most comfortable day of the weekend, and for south lake tahoe, we have temperatures headed for the low to mid 80s. sunshine throughout the weekend and we no longer have that chance of the monsoonal thunderstorms, so it will be good out there on the lake. mike has been polling that

breaking news this morning. >> the huge backup if you're just joining us a deadly crash on the approach to the bay bridge only affecting the hov lane from the original report of that crash but been extended because of the need for the coroner to complete their investigation or report here just off the berkeley curve. the flared lanes will continue to back up. we see a shift in the traffic flow, people are starting to adapt as they've been watching this in the morning trying to adjust their route. taking the east shore freeway it's 45 minutes from highway 4 to the bay bridge. the bulk of everything else is lighter flow, bottom two numbers. the bulk of the jam is from carlson top of the screen past golden gate field and then past the crash there. you can use san pablo avenue but better yet consider b.a.r.t., no delays reported for b.a.r.t. along the system that will take you under a pass over toward san francisco. we're looking at the rest of contra costa county and that's a smooth drive getting over toward that area, that slowing out of antioch now two crashes have cleared over there at summersville. this is not yet cleared.

this is eastbound 84, counter commute, but we know the area very visible in the westbound commute direction so that jams up 84, you'll use the dublin interchange, it's lighter traffic everywhere except for 84 where it's jammed up. south bay peninsula no problem. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:38. come up next, checks and balances. what are you working on, scott? >> i get the question, because congress is on recess. the president's on vacation but we are going to look ahead to the midterms. let's look ahead to the big board out of new york city, mild sinking on the dow, at about 33,800. and look good, feel good. the act of kindness some bay area barbers will be offering students as they head back to school. we'll tell you how one man who thought he lost the use of his legs and arms almost two decades ago will now swim from alcatraz island across san francisco bay. it's an incredible story of resilience and determination. stayith us.

robert heitz doesn't scare early from challenges. at 7:30 he'll swim from alcatraz island across san francisco bay, and he says today is a culmination of a journey that started 19 years ago. robert heitz was 22-year-old when he was on board a boat in 2003 in lake michigan. unfamiliar with the area, he dove head first into a sandbar and was rendered a quadriplegic. these are x-rays of his injuries. three years after his accident and a lot of physical therapy late, he was able to regain function of all four of his limbs. he was back at school studying biomedical engineering. he was driving and he was fully functional. fast forward to today, heitz takes on a new feat, in a couple of hours he'll swim from alcatraz island all across the san francisco bay. he says he's always been a strong swimmer and today he's claiming his place in the water where his injury happened.

he's doing to to raise awareness for the paralysis recovery foundation, an organization he founded after his injury. heitz trained for this since 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 rob tells us he chose alcatraz for its imagery and what it represents for him. he said when he was a quadriplegic he felt he was a prisoner in his own body. today he escapes that. there's also special significance to the fact that today is august 19th. it's almost 19 years to the day since rob first suffered his injuries and he's been training for 19 months to escape what he

said was a prison, being a prisoner in his own body. >> so much symbolism for him as well. >> lucky number 19 i guess. >> we're certainly rooting him on, from the shore. >> from the shore. >> it's cold out there. >> could you hear the foghorns behind. >> it's so san francisco. i remember living there waking up to that and the seagulls. >> and so cold. let's look at what's going on, especially in the water, oh my goodness. we can't even see the golden gate bridge right now. >> wow. >> we'll take your word for it. >> drivers have to go through that this morning, coming in from the north bay, we also have some patches of fog, but as you make your way inland, it's all clear, and we are going to see that causing a big range in our temperatures for today. take a look at dublin, it's bright and sunny, 58 degrees, and as we go into the rest of today, those temperatures start to heat up quickly and it's going to be pretty much like yesterday. it was so nice during the

afternoon, we'll be at about 80 degrees at 1:00. the seven-day forecast is up at the bottom of the screen if you're looking for something to do or if you already have tickets for the a's game, it's going to be really nice out there. at first pitch at 6:40, it starts out in the 70s but drops down to the mid-60s by the end of the game. so make sure you're wearing those layers. and we still do have the dangerous heat today but it has shifted inland and it does include solano county with the heat advisory, that continues for tomorrow. so if you do have outdoor plans, here or in the central valley, make sure that you're drinking lots of water and know those temperatures are headed back for the upper 90s and even over 100 degrees. we'll see that in fairfield today and dublin sees a high of about 88 degrees but a short drive toward hayward at least ten degrees cooler for today and then in san mateo, it's in the low 70s and upper 60s for half moon bay and look at the north bay, 97 degrees but as we go into the day tomorrow, it's still hot in the valleys and napa gets hotter reaching 88 degrees and then we'll see some

triple digits starting to reappear on this map and parts of the tri-valley as well as solano county and then on sunday, we all get a cooldown so it's going to feel so much better if you're thinking about when to get outside this weekend, sunday is your day. take a look at this seven-day forecast, because we are looking at a big range in our temperatures from day to day. we get a cooldown sunday to monday, thanks to a stronger ocean breeze, keeping that marine air and carrying it into the inland areas. we don't see much of a change in san francisco. we start out with clouds and fog but we will get some sunshine. mike, what is the update of the crash on the berkeley curve? >> we have a bigger backup unfortunately because we have more traffic headed down through the area. the berkeley curve back here where the crash is, the deadly crash, the backup going into berkeley, albany and extending back in toward almost just out of richmond, where the richmond bridge is showing traffic backing up, some folks trying to use that as a relief valve instead of headed here. the update along the berke i can curve, the hov lane is still

closed right here with this crash, the deadly crash that happened earlier this morning. lanes are flared out but the coroner arrived on scene, likely having those lanes opening over the next half hour so we'll continue to track this, of course critical backup. the sad news is we lost a soul as a result of the crash near the bay bridge. now no loss of life here, 84 but loss of time because the traffic is jammed up still. this crash coming away from 680 on eastbound 84. it's counter commute but causes the commute backup and so you'll use the dublin interchange if you're coming out of livermore on 580. everything else moving light on friday, south bay and peninsula included. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:53. happening now, 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. a costco at the vintage oaks shopping center, a group of novato residents sued
