4:32 am
breaking up as far as the clustering going on. recovery nicely from just before university down to powell, where that crash was in lanes for a short bit of time but now it's clear and recovering toward the bay bridge. the arrows show you where we predict our slowing, even on a friday directions in the areas slow by the end of our show over at 7:00, but right now very early, very clear. back to you. >> thanks, mike. a break in two east bay freeway shootings that terrorized drivers. two suspects are behind bars in connection with two separate shootings over the summer.

4:34 am
victims killed while riding in cars. romero says cameras on bay area freeways are a necessary tool for law enforcement to help solve future crimes. >> so the local cities have camera networks. the important part is to have that camera network working on the freeway so we all are working together on this. >> reporter: cheryl hurd, "today in the bay." 4:34 right now. now to the very latest on monkeypox. the spread of the virus is slowing around the globe, but in the u.s., it is a different story. north and south america now account for 60% of cases in the past month and continue to see a steep rise and for parts of america, monkeypox has been endemic for decades. >> in the stages of the outbreak, most reported cases were in europe with a smaller proportion in the americas. that has now reversed. >> experts now suspect the outbreaks in europe and north

"today in the bay's" stephanie maggione has more from local leaders. >> reporter: a huge no is imble over the words like lgbtq plus and critical race theory and plastered on top is rob moore. >> i was upset when i saw the flyers. i was surprised, wasn't expected to see my name plastered around downtown. >> reporter: 50 flyers were taped on poles on santa cruz avenue news morning. community members ended up stepping in and bringing them down immediately. >> someone reached out to me and said they were posting these and they reached out to me while it was happening and that person
4:36 am
said hey, stop, you can't be doing this and the people called her a pedophile and really got in her face and scared her. >> reporter: i showed the flyer to several people walking along downtown. many couldn't believe what was written. >> disgusting. >> reporter: including gary shipcaro, a local business owner who believes the same people behind the flyers harassed him in 2019 for his political views. >> i've been harassed, lots of other people, i think, the former mayor's husband. >> reporter: both shepcaro and rob describe the group as agitators who they say a few months ago. interrupting city meetings and attacking the former mayor. >> she was slandered racially, she was slandered for being a woman, she was slandered for who her children were, and so this group has really come after folks that are not white. >> reporter: but others i spoke with believe these flyers are a clear example of community members tired of agendas being forced onto them. >> people just want to live
4:37 am
their life, do what they want to do without big government telling them this is what you can and can't do. i think that it's gotten a little out of hand. >> reporter: stephanie magalleon for "today in the bay." a rally against a controversial plan in foster city to kill 100 geese. the city says those geese droppings in parks, sidewalks and water ways have created a health risk. as a result, the city leaders say they've exhausted non-lethal options and voted in july to get permits to kill up to a third of them. advocates along with san mateo county supervisor david canepa will protest at memorial park at 5:00 this afternoon. they are urging the city to come up with a better plan. the city says they are still trying other non-lethal options. turning to our climate in crisis, california is going green. state regulators voted to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 which means all new cars will be either all
4:38 am
electric, hybrid or hydrogen. >> it will take time to roll out these strategies and even the resolution as written will have some significant responsibilities for staff. >> this is going to be a continuing challenge. we're not done today, i guess is the real message. this is good not just for the environment, but this is good for the economy. >> the decision stems from the federal clean air act, back in the 1970s, california got a waiver which allows our state to set tougher rules when it comes to emission standards. we're the only state to do this, but after we make tougher rules, other states can soon follow so we'll see if any other states set the standard. california oftentimes leads. the white house still has to sign off on the new rules. so how far do we actually have to go to reach our goal of 100% emission-free by 2035 look at this chart from the "l.a. times" and verified by nbc bay
4:39 am
area. five years 4% of cars were zero emission vehicles or plug-in hybrided. so far 16% of zero emission vehicles. where we need to be, we need to double electric car sales in the next four years and after that, sales need to continue to increase to meet that 100% goal by 2035. >> wow. >> if we do it, it will be interesting to see'grid can handle it as well. lots of things to think about. 4:39. hand over that data, coming up next on "today in the bay," the information a judge is requesting that twitter release this morning. a security breach, the reason some doordash users may have been the target of a recent attack. stick around. we'll tell y about that and ou we'll tell y about that and ou
