there could be thousands, tens of thousands of people walking by her casket will be moved across the street to westminster abbey. there will be a funeral. then it will be moved to windsor castle where she will be interred alongside her husband. matt bradley, nbc news, london. back here locally bay area fire crews are near lake tahoe working to gain some containment on a massive wildfire, the mosquito fire sparked tuesday is burning in placer and el dorado counties. flames have burned more than 30,000 acres. this morning dozens of bay area fire crews are on the line defending more than 5,000 homes and other buildings being threatened. today in the bay is in santa clara with a look at the tough conditions they are up against. >> reporter: the santa clara fire department sent crews to the mosquito fire along with redwood city, san jose, and santa rosa and several other bay area fire departments. two big challenges they face, steep terrain and tinder dry

brush. the fast moving mosquito fire ripping through both el dorado and placer counties, more than 11,000 people evacuated and more than 5,000 homes and buildings are threatened. a strike team from the santa rosa fire department is on the front lines, tasked with protecting them. >> that crew has been up at the mosquito fire for several days now and currently today actually working on structure protection and prepping homes for the potential for them to be impacted by fire. >> reporter: they are joined by other bay area crews including redwood city, menlo park, san jose, contra costa county. the owner of warren's market in forest hill returned to his business to make sure the firefighters protecting his community have the snacks, drinks, and supplies they need. he also checked on his/lcq business. >> we did find some refrigeration had gone down while we were gone so there are some problems. >> crews used hand tools to cut wide lines they hope will slow

the inferno. >> whatever the biggest challenge is with this terrain, we have heavy fields incredibly dry because we haven't had any precipitation in northern california for several years. so the field is very dry, ripe for ignition. in this particular area, very skeep canyons. >> reporter: if that wasn't enough add in high heat and poor air quality. >> the air quality is bad at the site of the fire. we've had this inversion now for about two days. we are breathing that particulate matter. one other thing that really poses a challenge with is aircraft. when there's too much smoke they're unable to see where they're making their drops or laying down retardant lines. >> reporter: as bay area crews work 24-hour shifts to try to gain the upper hand, a team from san jose state university's fire lab is working to scan the plume of the fire. the hope is the experience and expertise from our back yard will help save another california community. marianne favro, "today in the bay." family and friends of

jackson is a suspect in the killing of 8-year-old sophia mason. police had been looking for him since march when sophia was found dead in merced. the girl's mother was arrested and charged with murder in march. jackson, her boyfriend, now faces the same charges. at 7:10 we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up we take you live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with chuck todd who has a preview of this week's "meet the press." yo ghu miret alknady thow roat p tp 27 aaxesegnd resulat slines portinbett fg to undal reut sol tionseo th on me honelessriss c owso hl wil nthatevew renuebe nt spe? ne usw houning its a in8 ll 5ticoun in includerg: pntmanesu tipporouve h,sing ny ties hommu comesniti, t ojeckeroom y orsupp htiveotelts uni d annsintemeive ntalthheal a andtiddicreon tnta.

one man we spoke with was rushing to get a spare tire on his van that he said hes assured since it runs it wouldn't be crushed. >> it is running. they're worried about the abandoned vehicles. >> there's been miscommunication along the way. >> a city spokesperson says outreach teams helped 150 people relocate. they are continuing to look for housing solutions for them. okay. it is time for a weekly discussion with chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press." hi, chuck. thanks for joining us this morning. you have& sitdown interview with vice president kamala harrij))p■ you flew to houston for that. can you give us kind of a broad aboutmmm1?#pbn■o]mo @r(t&háhp &% was anythingjq■q■yrx■trb; off l? >> nothing was off limits. we spent a lot of time on democracy and the issue of the

courts, abortion rights, democracy. in many ways that took up a large part of our conversation including the president's use of the phrase semifascist, what that meant. you certainly hear in the vice president something we have already been noticing on the campaign trail which is this belief by democrats that these concerns over the democracy are salient issues to swing voters. i think that you'll hear it in the interview, she certainly believes the ruling on abortion rights coupled with the concerns over the democracy are, essentially should be the issues that drive the midterm elections, and i think that is where she was channelling that. we talked about the border. she seemed to blame the other side for the border problems. didn't accept any of those issues on her end. so it was -- in many ways i will

say this. she certainly was more forward leaning and confident in her political standing today than i've seen her yet as vice president. >> okay. so you did mention the midterms. can i just jump right ahead and ask what about 2024? >> i asked about it. i said should we expect an answer, essentially an announcement from the biden-harris ticket after the midterms. she said, look. i expect him to run and i plan on running with him proudly on that front. there was no equivocation on any of that other than that is the plan going forward and at the end of the day everybody has to wait for the president to make that decision more than anything else. >> all right. chuck todd with the scoop. we look forward to this show today. thanks, chuck, for your insight. be sure to join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." you can see the full, exclusive interview with vice president kamala harris. stick right here and tune in to "meet the press" at 8:00 a.m.

going on. you can see the system down below and that's what was of hurricane kay. now a post tropical storm situation. so the outer bands, possibly could bring us a little bit of shower activity. again, not a lot moving into the bay area. and a lot of it is staying in through central california. a little further south. it could be just enough to where you're noticing the cloud cover. i know yesterday was cloudy and breezy. also our current temperatures right now 60s and 70s. it is kind of warm to start. let's look at the hour by hour possibility of those showers. i'm pushing the timeline forward. it is mainly cloudy. not a lot of rain if any. if it moves in it'll be a small amount mainly to the south bay. hourly temperatures about 1:00. we start to top out in the upper 80s. no triple digits today. but it will be just a little bit warmer in through the interior and then heading into monday

that timeline starts to cool off with daytime highs only topping out in the upper 70s, low to mid 80s at times for the middle of the week. as far as your long-range outlook, mostly mild through the middle of the month and we have, heading out, looking way out to september 18th a storm just to our north. we'll see how that impacts us. definitely going to kick up the wind. you'll notice the breeze pick up and that will help clear out the air quality after we had such stagnant high pressure keeping all of the pollutants down below. the possibility of showers again, very, very small. but you will notice the cloud cover out of this. 70s in the forecast for san francisco. upper 80s for your interior areas and then by monday a bit of a hazy start. notice, kira, we have daytime highs only in the 70s expected by tuesday, so nice changes ahead. >> like a 30-degree drop. very welcome. all right. thanks so much. 7:21, much more ahead on "today in the bay" with the 49ers

it can be much easier for the line -- there are so many variables i t not to make too g a deal of it. you see what is going on in the game and what teams have advantages or disadvantages and try to adjust as it goes. >> kick-off this morning at 10:00 in chicago. just a reminder, "sunday night football" returns tonight here on nbc bay area. the tampa bay buccaneers and tom brady are taking on the cowboys in dallas. our coverage begins at 4:00 followed by a special edition of nbc bay area news after the game. on the farm stanford facing number 10 usc. this one was all trojans. southern cal scored touchdowns on their first five possessions and scored on their first six. usc beat stanford 41-28. >> behind cordero. they give it to robinson.

through parts of the region mainly to the south of us but again, this is not going to be measurable rain. if we get any a couple hundredth s. this is mainly cloud cover. you can see here taking this through monday we see a little more of that pop up and we get afternoon clearing and also the daytime highs. now with the breeze, this is going to help clear out some of the air quality. that advisory was extended but you can see that by monday and tuesday a lot of that pushes out of the area, although we're still monitoring the conditions near the mosquito fire. at least we'll see improved air quality with the arrival of the wind, definitely going to help kick some of the smoke out. let's talk about your daytime highs for today. around 1:30 still in the upper 80s for the interior. still a little warm.

the main thing is it is going to feel muggy outside. heading into 5:00 we'll see the 70s, down through the south bay. a lot of daytime highs topping out in the mid 80s for the interior. upper 60s low 70s around the coast line. we head into more of a cooling trend starting on monday into tuesday. so let's take a look at the long-range outlook looking way out to september 18th. we do have storms to our north. we'll see how that impacts us here. it is going to kick up the winds for sure but of course we always like the approach of possible rain chances in the bay area. let's talk about tuesday because that is when the system is going to be potentially moving in. we could see some of the morning drizzle also. honestly the return of the marine layer has been such a welcome sight around the coast line. that helps keep some of our temperatures a little bit cooler but again today it'll still feel warm inland. we'll get some of the cloud cover and it will definitely feel muggy out there. >> all right. vianey, thanks so much. did you know if you have a samsung tv which we were talking

welcome back. as we bid farewell to this week's brutal heat wave governor gavin newsom is announcing several new laws aimed at protecting californians from extreme heat. one bill signed during the heat wave is ab 2238. it will create the nation's

first extreme heat advance warning and ranking system. also ab 1643 which will create a committee to study the effects of extreme heat on california's workers, businesses, and economy. and ab 2420 directs state health leaders to develop guidance for pregnant people working outdoors during extreme heat. senate bill 852 will allow cities and counties to establish so-called climate resilience districts, with the power to invest in programs that address climate impact. in this november's elections observers will look to voter turnout, which may forecast outcome. historically, republicans are more likely to vote than democrats, but what about looking at race and ethnicity, which are particularly important here in california where latinos are 41% of the population? nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins us now. hi, larry.

good morning. good to see you. what do we know about the latino vote in previous years? >> good morning to you, kira. you really hit the point when we talk about the large latino population. 41% as of 2022 compared with non-hispanic whites at 36%. latinos have become increasingly important because of their majorities in congressional and legislative districts, and they've gone up greatly thanks to the census of 2020 and the redistricting of the state. for example, in congressional districts in california latinos now have majorities in 16 of them. that's six higher than the 2010 census. in the state senate you've seen an increase here of three. in the assembly, an increase of five, to 22. so all of these suggest that at least on paper, we would think latinos would have a huge opportunity to gain significant representation in the state

legislatures and in congress. >> seeing it go up year by year do you predict we'll see a greater latino presence in congress and the legislature coming up? >> the data might suggest that, at least on the surface, kira. but when we dig deeper into this thing we notice that some groups vote of course more than others. here is the big question. how much so? who are the under performers? latinos seem to fall into that category, at least these days. in the 2020 census, at that time there were 39% of the population non-hispanic whites 35%. take a look at that other portion here that latinos turned out to be 21% of the voters. that's it. 21%. and the non-hispanic whites turned out to be 55%. so non-hispanic whites don't have as many voters yet proportionately vote much more than latinos. something else we need to understand. latinos are not just traditional black nor other groups for that

matter. when we dig down into the data we find 37% are liberals. 31% are moderates. 31% are conservatives. so this idea of latinos necessarily assuming control of anything, like any other group there are divisions, and so that further complicates the idea of trying to understand where that vote is going to go in the future. >> so okay. no crystal ball here since you're saying it is hard to see where it will go in the future. what is the takeaway from all of this data? >> a couple of things stand out. it is a fact now that latinos have huge majorities in so many districts that they haven't had before. the question is, will there be more voters? there is no guarantee by the way that even if there are more voters, that they'll necessarily all vote democratic even though latinos have voted disproportionately democratic in the past. remember that large segment of conservative latino voters. the bottom line? it starts where we begin. latinos are the great unknown. yes, their numbers are large. they have great potential to

make change and be in the legislature and congress but whether they actually do, depends upon how many of them are going to vote and which way in 2022. it will be a bloc of voters to watch in california. >> we will watch in november. larry, thank you so much for that insight this morning. it is 7:52 right now. stay with us. we'll have all your top stories, next.

stories we're following including remembering 21 years ago today. when our nation was forever changed on the morning of september 11th. this morning there were ceremonies in new york, washington, d.c., and shanksville, pennsylvania. at all of the sites where all four hijacked planes crashed. the coordinated terror attacks took the lives of nearly 3,000 innocent victims. this morning in washington, d.c. president biden laid a wreath at the pentagon and the first lady laid a wreath in shanksville, pennsylvania. the vice president was at the freedom tower in new york. every year we vow never to forget. overseas a solemn morning as well for the people in the united kingdom. this is a look at the royal hearse carrying the coffin of queen elizabeth. it is on its way to the st. giles cathedral in scotland. it left balmoral castle and is at the end of its six-hour journey toward the cathedral. the hearse slowed down in towns so people could pay their respects to their queen.

we are now learning about details of the queen's funeral. the state funeral will be held not tomorrow but next monday, september 19th, at westminster abbey in london. president joe biden and other world leaders are expected to attend. we have been working to confirm this breaking news this morning. two chp officers are in the hospital after being hit by a car on westbound 80 near american canyon road in vallejo. it happened around 2:00 this morning. the chp says the officers had pulled over another car when they were rear ended by an suv. one officer in the suv was -- one of the people in the suv was arrested for dui and other charges. right now three lanes of westbound 80 are still closed. we want to shift gears and extend a big thank you to the dozens of you who showed up for the bay area proud blood drive yesterday. more than 100 people stepped up

to donate blood in san jose, including my producer dana, first time blood donor. she was nervous but she did it. my director, aaron -- there is dana in the video. i don't know if we have video of our director. i was there as well but i'm just a mere nothing. but our friend garvin thomas has put on the blood drive for six years. stanford blood center says there is a critical shortage of all blood types right now but especially o-negative which is what they fill ambulances with. all right. let's check in with vianey one last time before we head out on this sunday morning. >> you know, the weather today is going to be interesting because it'll be cloudy but then also muggy and also a little bit warm. >> yes, warm right now. >> shifting gears as we head into the week ahead. by monday and tuesday, notice the temperature drop. we cool off into the week. >> looks good. thanks, vianey, and thanks to all of you for making us part

of your sunday morning. no 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. news tonight. instead, "sunday night football" night in america back right here on nbc. cowboys taking on tom brady and the tampa bay buccaneers. we will have a special edition of news right after that and then again at 11:00. until then, stay up to date on nbc bay area.com. the homeless get very little. vote no on 27.

homeless californians need real solutions, not false promises. prop 27 gives 90% of the money to out-of-state corporations, not the homeless. vote no on prop 27. it's a broken promise. this sunday my interview with vice president kamala harris the vice president opens up on the threat posed by election deniers. >> i think that we have to admit that there are attacks from within and we need to take it seriously. >> on the rightward shift of the supreme court. >> i think this is an activist court. >> and its abortion decision. >> it is not right that we take a constitutional right from the women of america and deprive them of the ability to make decisions about their own body and instead say the government is in a better position to do that. >> on eliminating the filibuster for abortion and voting rights. >> and
